[6.A. Meetings and events]
YOU HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT? REPORT JUST TWO BRIEF ONES. UH I WANNA I WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T. WE DON'T. UH, IT'S A LOT OF MOVEMENT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO TWO OF THE CELEBRATIONS TONIGHT. ONE WAS OUR NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARS. YOU KNOW THOSE THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE THEY ARE IN THEY ARE IN THE TOP 0.5. I MEAN, THAT'S LESS THAN 1% OF STUDENTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. THAT IS A HUMONGOUS DEAL THAT IS, AND I TALKED TO HIM EARLIER, AND I SAID I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HOW PROUD YOUR PARENTS ARE, UH BUT THEY ARE IN THE TOP 0.5% OF STUDENTS IN TEXAS. SO THAT IS THAT IS TREMENDOUS HONOR FOR THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE. A. SECONDLY YOU KNOW, WE RECOGNIZE THE TRAINER AND THE POLICE OFFICER AND TWO STUDENT TRAINERS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE HEAR, UM UH THAT THAT STUDENT WAS REALLY CLINICALLY DEAD LIKE THAT STUDENT'S HEART STOPPED BEATING. AND THE TRAINER JUMPED INTO ACTION AND USED A DEFIBRILLATOR.UM ACTUALLY, SHE WAS DOING CPR WITH THE OFFICER AND THEN ONE OF THE STUDENT TRAINERS SAW THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR AND THEY WENT INSIDE AND GOT IT. WITHOUT BEING TOLD. RIGHT AND SO , UM AND SAVE THAT YOUNG MAN'S LIFE AND SO I WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T PASS OVER THAT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, MOST OF US IN THIS ROOM, HAVE OUR OWN CHILDREN AND I TELL PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW LOVE UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR OWN KID. AND YOU KNOW THAT YOUNG MAN GOT UP THAT MORNING WENT TO SCHOOL. AND HIS PARENTS WERE EXPECTING TO SEE HIM THAT NIGHT WITH NO ISSUES. UH AND BECAUSE OF THE TRAINER THEY WERE ABLE TO STILL SEE HIM IN THE HOSPITAL BREATHING, BUT, UH, HE HAD STOPPED BREATHING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. I BELIEVE, AND SO, UH, YOU KNOW, I TELL THE STAFF YOU KNOW, LIFE IS SHORT. LIFE IS FRAGILE. HUG YOUR BABIES HUG YOUR FAMILY. UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING IS SERIOUS, BUT IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS, RIGHT? AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE THAT WE REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO LIFE. YOU KNOW, LIFE IS LIFE IS GOOD. AND SO I'M VERY HAPPY, UH, FOR OUR STAFF TO JUMP INTO ACTION, AND OUR STUDENT TRAINERS JUMP IN ACTION, AND THAT YOUNG MAN IS IN SCHOOL NOW BEING ABLE TO ENJOY, UH, HIS LIFE AS A YOUNG MAN, SO YOU KNOW, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T PASS THOSE OVER THOSE ARE THOSE ARE VERY TWO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN LAMAR CISD. THANK YOU, DOCTOR NIVENS. UH, MS JOHNSON. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? IT IS

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU COME FORWARD. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS JUSTIN PARKER. GOOD EVENING.
LCISD BOARD. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TONIGHT. MY NAME IS JUSTIN PARKER. I COME TO YOU AS A CONCERNED FATHER OF TWO ELEMENTARY AGE STUDENTS CURRENTLY ATTENDING AN LCISD SCHOOL. IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE'S A TEACHER AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL THAT, UH, IS CURRENTLY MOONLIGHTING AND OPENLY DISPLAYING HIMSELF AS A CROSS DRESSER. THIS TEACHER I'M REFERRING TO IS SEAN SAUNDERS, KNOWN AS JACQUELINE DIOR WHEN DRESSED AS A WOMAN. CURRENTLY TEACHING AT WERTHEIMER AND BRISCOE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES THAT I BROUGHT. THAT I'VE OBTAINED FROM HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, WHICH IS PUBLIC AND AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO SEE, INCLUDING CHILDREN IN HIS CLASS. UH, A FEW OF THESE PICTURES, UH, ON HIS INSTAGRAM AND, UH, USING INAPPROPRIATE HASHTAGS AND, UH, INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL HASHTAGS.
SOME OF THESE CAPTIONS OF THESE PICTURES ARE SOMETIMES I GET TO STEP OUT AS A BOY TO PERFORM.
IT'S A FANTASY TONIGHT DRESSED AS A QUEEN, YOU'LL HIT THE RIGHT NOTE WITH ME. I FOUND ALL THE HOTTIES WHILE STANDING NEXT TO MEN DRESSED IN NOTHING BUT A PAIR OF UNDERWEAR. SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS IS ON THE MENU, WEARING A NECKLACE IN THE SHAPE OF WHAT I CAN ASSUME IS A REFERENCE TO MALE GENITALIA, JUST A LIGHT SHOPPING, POSING NEXT TO TWO PICTURES OF MEN IN UNDERWEAR. DO I MAKE YOU HORNY BABY DRESSED AS A WOMAN? CATEGORY IS HOLIDAY SUGAR BALL PEPPERMINT FOR YOUR BREATH WHILE WEARING WOMEN'S CLOTHES COVERED IN PEPPERMINT CANDY, LETTING THE GIRLS HANG OUT, REFERRING TO HIS BREASTS, SMART SCHOOLGIRL FANTASY DRESSES, A FEMALE SCHOOL STUDENT. I HOPE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT DRESSED AS A WOMAN CARTOON CHARACTER FROM A CHILDREN'S SHOW. SERVE G AFAR FOR HALLOWEEN, DRESSED AS A FEMALE VERSION OF A MALE CARTOON CHARACTER FROM A CHILDREN'S MOVIE. MY HIPS ARE HERE. NOW I HAVE AND WHILE WEARING WOMEN'S UNDERGARMENTS. SOME OF MY FAVORITE SHOOTS FROM SOME OF MY FAVORITES FROM THE SHOOT, WHICH, UH, WITH HIS SHIRT, UNBUTTONED AND PROVOCATIVE POSES. ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE OF ETHICS TITLE 19, PART SEVEN CHAPTER 247 RULE. 2 47.2 PARAGRAPH I STANDARD 3.9, THE EDUCATOR SHALL REFRAIN FROM INAPPROPRIATE COMMUNICATION WITH A STUDENT OR MINOR, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, SUCH AS CELL PHONE, TEXT MESSAGING, EMAIL,
[00:30:02]
INSTANT MESSAGING, BLOGGING OR OTHER SOCIAL NETWORK COMMUNICATION. FACTORS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING WHETHER THE COMMUNICATION IS AN APPROPRIATE INCLUDED BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, UH, LINE ITEM THREE WHETHER THE COMMUNICATION WAS MADE OPENLY OR THE EDUCATOR ATTEMPTED TO CONCEAL THE COMMUNICATION, WHETHER THE COMMUNICATION WAS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT. IT WAS LINE FIVE LINE SIX WHETHER THE COMMUNICATION INVOLVED DISCUSSION OF THE PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ATTRACTIVENESS OR THE SEXUAL HISTORY ACTIVITIES, PREFERENCES OR FANTASIES OF EITHER THE EDUCATOR OR THE STUDENT. WHILE THIS MIGHT NOT BE DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE STUDENTS, THE FACT IS, IS A PUBLIC INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, WHICH STUDENTS CAN SEE THIS FORM OF COMMUNICATION. I KNOW YOU MADE ME THINKING THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR MAY NOT HAVE IMPACTED THE CHILDREN IN THIS TEACHING, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT HAS I'VE BEEN TOLD FIRSTHAND BY MULTIPLE STUDENTS THAT KNOW ABOUT HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT AND WHAT HE DOES. EVEN ADDRESS IT IN THE CLASSROOM THREATENING STUDENTS TO MAKE FUN OR BRING IT UP THAT QUOTE I WILL SUE YOUR PARENTS IF IT'S MENTIONED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HOW DOES THIS MAN WHO DRESSES AS A WOMAN AND OPENLY PROMOTE DRAG QUEEN CONTESTS AND OTHER SEXUAL ACTIVITIES TO GET THROUGH ANY KIND OF BACKGROUND CHECK PRIOR TO HIS EMPLOYMENT IN THE LCISD SCHOOL DISTRICT? AS A YOUTH FOOTBALL COACH MYSELF. I KNOW THIS IS BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO COACH WHY HAVE PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN ARE IN THE CHOIR PROGRAM OR AT THE SCHOOL, FOR THAT MATTER, NOT BEEN WARNED BY THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS OR THE DISTRICT PRIOR TO THEIR CHILDREN ATTENDING THIS CLASS. CHILDREN SPEND AS MUCH TIME IF NOT MORE IN SCHOOL WITH TEACHERS THAN THEY DO AT HOME. THESE CHILDREN ARE AN AGE WHERE THEIR IMPRESSIONABLE, VULNERABLE AND MOSTLY CONFUSED AND MORE IMPORTANT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, CONFUSED TEACHERS. JOBS ARE TO EDUCATE YET SO MANY TEACHERS ARE MORE THAN JUST EDUCATORS.THEY'RE MENTORS CONFIDANTS IN A LOT OF CASES, THE ONLY FORM OF AN ADULT THAT A CHILD HAS TO LOOK UP TO. I KNOW WHEN I WAS A STUDENT. I LOOKED UP TO AND ADMIRED MY TEACHERS AND CONFIDED IN THEM IN MANY OF THEM DURING DIFFICULT TIMES. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS THIS MAN SENDING TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT? MY JOB AS A FATHER IS TO PROTECT MY CHILDREN . AND AS A CHRISTIAN MAN, I'M TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT ALL THE CHILDREN AT THESE SCHOOLS FROM THIS TYPE OF PERVERSION. I'M ASKING YOUR HELP BY REMOVING THIS PERVERSION FROM BEING ACCESSED BY OUR CHILDREN. I KNOW ALL OF YOU EITHER HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN OR HAD CHILDREN THAT ATTENDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SO MY QUESTION TO EACH OF YOU IS, WOULD YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO BE EXPOSED TO THIS? I DO NOT THAT'S ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT. HM? AT THIS TIME, WE WILL TAKE ACTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO PULL? HM? OK? LET'S SEE.
[8. CONSENT AGENDA]
MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CURRENT CONSENT AGENDA? EMOTION DAN AND, UH, IS THERE A SECOND MR WELCH. OK, ANY DISCUSSION NO. I NOW? YES, YES. I'LL NOW CALL FOR THE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE CONSENT AGENDA. SAY I. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES. OK AND,[9.A. Discussion of schematic design for new Brazos Crossing Administration Project]
UH WE WILL NOW HAVE REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THE FUTURE ACTION ITEMS. ALL RIGHT, MADAM PRESIDENT, I'LL TURN OVER TO MR BUCHANAN. GOOD WORD TRUSTEES AND DOCTOR NEVIS TONIGHT WE WANT TO BRING FORTH A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR THE NEW PRIZES CROSSING.

THIS PARKING LOT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING HAS BEEN LAID OUT TO EXPAND THE VISITOR PARKING AND THE PARKING FOR TRAILER STADIUM USING THE EXISTING TRAFFIC CONTROL LIGHT.THE PROGRAMMING, WHICH IS ON THE FACILITY WILL BE UTILIZED BY THESE AREAS WOULD BE CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION, COMMUNICATION FINANCE, HUMAN RESOURCES OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT AND STUDENT SERVICES. SO OUR FLOOR PLAN ON THE FIRST FLOOR. IF YOU LOOK ON THE TOP SECTION THAT IS THE TWO LARGE MEETING ROOMS THAT CAN BE DIVIDED, OR 21 LARGE MEETING ROOM THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO. IT ALSO HAS SIX SMALLER MEETING ROOMS. UM ALONG THAT SIDE, JUST SOUTH OF THAT.
IS THE BOARD ROOM. UM, THAT IS LAID OUT THERE. LIVING ACROSS YOU HAVE THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND STUDENT SERVICES. UM THE REASON THOSE THREE ARE LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR IS BECAUSE EASY ACCESS. WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND STAFF THAT MEET WITH THOSE THREE AREAS. ON THE SECOND FLOOR. UM THE LARGE TEAL SECTION IS CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION. SO THAT PUTS ALL OF CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION. UM NOW THEY'RE SCATTERED THE ROUTE ALL UNDERNEATH ONE AREA, SO THEY'RE ALL CONTAINED IN ONE SPACE AND THEN ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS THIS PREACH PEACH AREA WOULD BE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE OPERATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS. SO THE PROJECT TIMELINE. UM
[00:35:04]
RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON SCHEDULE TO HAVE A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. THE FIRST ONE IN OCTOBER OF 2024 OUR SECOND ONE IN OCTOBER OF 2025 CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN IN NOVEMBER OF 2024.

Discussion of potential elementary attendance zones for Central Lamar CISD: Austin Elementary School, Frost Elementary School, Jackson Elementary School, Long Elementary School, Pink Elementary School, Smith Elementary School, and Travis Elementary School]
ALL RIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE VANESSA MARSTERS TO JOIN US. YOU CAN HAVE SEE IN THE FRONT ROW. LET'S ALSO HAVE CHRISTINA GARCIA AND DANIELLE KRATZ ALSO JOIN US ON THE FRONT ROW. ALL RIGHT, TRUSTY. SO A GROWING SCHOOL SYSTEM, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO REVISIT OUR ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES TO ACCOMMODATE OUR HYPER GROWTH.AND IN LAMAR CS D, WE HAVE THREE APPROACHES TO MANAGING OUR GROWING MOMENT. CAPTAIN OVERFLOW . THAT'S WHEN WE STOP ENROLLMENT AT A CAMPUS AND WE SEND STUDENTS TO A NEIGHBORING CAMPUS. UM ANOTHER OPTION IS WE SIMPLY BUILD NEW CAMPUSES, AND WHEN WE BUILD NEW CAMPUSES, WE REZONE TO CREATE THE POPULATION OF STUDENTS WHO WILL ATTEND THAT CAMPUS AND OUTDO APPROACH IS LEVELING. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS THIS EVENING. AND LOVELING IS WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WOMAN IN OUR EXISTING CAMPUSES. WE IDENTIFY THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE OVER ENROLLMENT. WE IDENTIFY THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE UNDER ENROLLMENT UNDER CAPACITY, AND WE LOOK HOW WE CAN BETTER BALANCE STUDENTS SHIFTING ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES TO CREATING MORE BALANCED ROLL ACROSS CAMPUSES. AND SO LAST MONTH WE HAD OUR ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES, COMMITTEES MEET, AND SO BEFORE YOU'RE ON THE SCREEN, THIS IS THE ROSTER OF THE ATTENDANCE BATTERY COMMITTEE FOR THE CENTRAL LAMAR CISD LEVELING, UM, COMMITTEE MEMBERS NOTATED OUR PRESENT FOR ONE OF BOTH MEETINGS, AND THOSE WHO ARE GRAYED OUT WEREN'T ABLE TO JOIN US IN PERSON. UM PART OF OUR PROCESS IS TO SEND OUT A SURVEY TO THE IMPACTED, UH, COMMUNITY OF PARENTS. AND SO WE SENT 3899 EMAIL ADDRESSES SURVEYS TO 3099 EMAIL ADDRESSES AND WE RECEIVED 747 RESPONSES. THAT'S 19% AND THE SCREEN. YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE CAMPUSES THAT PROVIDED RESPONSES, ESSENTIALLY, UM, BASED ON THE SURVEY, WHEN WE ASKED WHICH OPTION THEY PREFER OVERWHELMINGLY, THEY PREFERRED FOUR WITH 68% AND SO WE PRESENTED, UM THE SURVEY INFORMATION AS WELL AS THE MAP OPTIONS TO OUR TENANTS BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR THEM TO DELIBERATE IN DECIDE, UM, HOW THEY WERE GONNA RANK THE OPTIONS AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE GOING TO CREATE AN OPTION, AND SO THIS EVENING, WE'VE GOT, UM, COMMITTEE CHAIR TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE PROCESS AS WELL AS THE OUTCOME. SO FOR THE CENTRAL LEVELING THIS EVENING, WE HAVE THIS VANESSA MARSTERS JOINING US, MS MARSTERS. OK? GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR NIVENS BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MY NAME IS VANESSA MARSTERS AND I'M REPRESENTING THE CENTRAL LAMAR ABC. I WILL BE PRESENTING THE MAP RECOMMENDATION AS CHOSEN BY THE COMMITTEE BEFORE I PRESENT THE RECOMMENDATION ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE BOARD IS NOT REQUIRED TO FORM AN ABC WHEN LEVELING AND REZONING. WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A VOICE IN THIS DECISION MAKING PROCESS. ONE TAKE AWAY FROM THE MEETING IS THAT IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THOSE WHO ACCEPT THE INVITATION OR NOMINATE THEMSELVES TO SERVE ON SUCH A COMMITTEE. TAKE THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR IT AT AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, HAVING EITHER ATTENDED OR WATCHED THE PREVIOUS BOARD MEETINGS. THIS WILL ENSURE THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS COME FRONT LOADED AND PREPARED TO MAKE EFFECTIVE DECISIONS BASED ON BACKGROUND INFORMATION ALREADY PRESENTED AND DECIDED THAT BEING SAID IN KEEPING IN MIND THE OBJECTIVES AND C SET FORTH BY THE DISTRICT MAP FOR UH, MAP OPTION FOR PROVIDES FOR THE MOST RELIEF TO FROST ELEMENTARY, WHICH REDUCES OVERCROWDING AND ALLOWS FOR POTENTIAL FUTURE GROWTH FROM 100 AND 25% TO 91. IT KEEPS AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER AND CONSIDERS THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS PROXIMITY TO THE CAMPUS. 8.6 MILES A 15 MINUTE DRIVE COMPARED TO A 2.8 MILE DRIVE, UH, SIX MINUTE DRIVE AND ELIMINATES RAILROAD CROSSINGS, WHICH PROVIDES FOR A SAFER ROUTE AND TRAFFIC PATTERNS. ERADICATES MOVING A NEIGHBORHOOD PREVIOUSLY AFFECTED BY A REZONING. AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE SURVEY RECEIVED 68% OF THE SURVEYED RESPONSES WITH OPTION ONE AT 20% AND OPTION TWO AT 12% THE ABC RANKED THE OPTIONS AND MAP FOUR WAS RANKED NUMBER ONE BY THE ABC RE RECEIVING 82% OPTION ONE
[00:40:06]
RECEIVING 18% IN OPTION TWO RECEIVING 0% THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THE COMMITTEE. BEING THAT MAPS MAP OPTION FOR PROVIDES FOR THE LEAST DISRUPTION. OF CENTRAL LAMAR.WHICH IS WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS. THIS WAS A EIGHT VERSUS 11 IN DISRUPTIONS. THE FIRST TWO OPTIONS HAD 11 DISRUPTIONS, AND THE FOURTH ONE HAD ONLY EIGHT.
SO THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS MAP OPTION FOR WITH THE STANDARD LEGACY PROVISION. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO TO CONTINUE WITH THE REFERENCE TO LEGACY PROVISION, SO THAT MEANS CURRENT FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS, STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING TO BE FIFTH GRADERS NEXT YEAR, UM, WILL BE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMAIN AT THEIR CAMPUS. THIS LEGACY PROVISION IS NOT EXTEND TO SIBLINGS AND PARENTS WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION.
SO TRUSTEES WHILE THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM FOR YOU THIS EVENING, I DO WANT TO SHARE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. ONCE YOU ALL DO TAKE ACTION NEXT MONTH. WE'RE GONNA UPDATE THE ZONING PAGE OF THE DISTRICT WEBSITE, UM, WITH THE FINAL APPROVED ATTENDANCE ON MAPS. AND UM, WE WILL NOTIFY THE IMPACTED FAMILIES WITHIN 30 TO 45 DAYS OF THE BOARD DECISION SO LIKELY THE END OF MAY AND WE WILL SEND MESSAGES TO DIRECTLY IMPACTED FAMILIES. TRUSTEES. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME? AS I KNOW. LET'S SEE. WHERE AM I? ALL RIGHT. WE WAIT ONE SECOND ONE SECOND. UH THIS IS THE TIME IN THE MEETING WHERE THE PUBLIC HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. MS JOHNSON, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC PARTICIPATION? OUR FIRST PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SPEAKER IS LESLIE GRACIA. HI I'M LESLIE GRASSI. GOOD GOOD EVENING . UM DOCTOR NEVINS AND THE SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE LEVELING AND UM, I WANTED TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE VOTE NO TO HER LOVING AT THIS TIME FOR THIS YEAR, UM, BASED ON THE CRITERIA AND OBJECTIVES THAT LAMAR C ID HAS OUTLINED FOR THEMSELVES, I DON'T FEEL THOSE HAVE BEEN MET SOME OF THESE OVERLAP, BUT I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THEM. UM THE FIRST ONE, I WOULD SAY IS FAIRNESS. UM AT THE DECEMBER WORKSHOP AND BOARD MEETINGS, THERE WERE NO JACKSON FAMILY'S PRESENT WHEN A NEW MAP WAS MADE THAT OPTION FOUR MAP WAS MADE. NOBODY FROM JACKSON WAS HERE OR PRESENT. UM WE KINGDOM HEIGHTS AND THE JACKSON FAMILIES WERE ALSO I DON'T BELIEVE, UM, FAIRLY REPRESENTED AT THE ABC. I BELIEVE THERE WAS ONLY ONE PARENT THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED UP FROM JACKSON AT THE ABC AND, UM I DON'T THINK KINGHAM HEIGHTS BASED ON THE PROPORTION OF WHAT WE'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH. WE'RE ADEQUATELY REPRESENTED AT THE ABC. UM ANOTHER ONE I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS WHAT'S BEST FOR THE STUDENTS. UM WE JUST HEARD THAT IT THIS OPTION FOR THAT WAS VOTED. UH, THE BEST OPTION THAT PEOPLE THOUGHT IT HAS LESS. UH DISRUPTION BY NEIGHBORHOODS BUT NOT STUDENTS. KINGDOM HEIGHTS ALONE ARE GOING TO DISRUPT 333 STUDENTS WERE MOVING OUT.
RIVERSIDE TERRACE, WHICH WOULD AFFECT 86 STUDENTS, SO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IS HIGHER. UM AND WE ALSO HAVE ON YOUR OBJECTIVE CRITERIA, THE EFFECTIVENESS AND THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS CHANGE. JACKSON WILL BE OVER CAPACITY VERY SOON, AND THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PORTABLES AGAIN. THE PROJECTIONS FOR KINGDOM HEIGHTS BEING BUILT OUT WE WILL BE OVER 500. THE PROJECTIONS ARE 500 STUDENTS. WE'RE GONNA BE WAY UNDER WAY OVER CAPACITY AT JACKSON JACKSON, AND THERE'S NO ROOM FOR PORTABLE. SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO OUR STUDENTS? ARE YOU GONNA MOVE OUT THE REST OF THE JACKSON STUDENTS CURRENTLY THERE? KINGDOM HEIGHTS ARE GONNA BE CAPTAIN OVERFLOWED SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S THAT GOES BACK TO FAIRNESS AGAIN. UM ALSO CAMPUS CAPACITY WITH THIS OPTION FOR WE STILL HAVE THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS RUNNING AT HALF CAPACITY. IF YOU MOVE KINGDOM HEIGHTS INTO JACKSON AND REMOVE RIVERSIDE TERRACE. WE'RE STILL RUNNING AT 75 PER. I'M SORRY. 86% CAPACITY AT THAT TIME WITH NO ROOM TO GROW STILL, AND FROST
[00:45:07]
WILL STILL BE AT 91% CAPACITY. WE HAVE SCHOOLS RUNNING AT 50% CAPACITY. WHY AREN'T MORE NEIGHBORHOODS BEING MOVED OUT OF FROST TO GET THAT TO THAT? I THINK THE NUMBER WAS 75% THAT LAMAR C ID WANTED THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO RUN AT. UM I DON'T HOW THAT'S MAKING ANY SENSE. UM AND THE PROXIMITY AND THE ROOT. YOU MET HALF THE CAPACITY FOR I MEAN HALF THE CRITERIA FOR THAT, BECAUSE KINGDOM HEIGHTS IS CLOSER TO JACKSON, BUT WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A SAFE ROUTE TO GET THERE. I HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD ANY KIND OF CON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON HOW FAMILIES FROM KINGDOM HEIGHTS ARE GOING TO GET SAFELY TO JACKSON. AND THEN AGAIN, WE'RE ALSO BUSSING STUDENTS THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO JACKSON RIVERSIDE TERRACE THERE WERE GOING TO BE BUSED. FURTHER AWAY TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. UM, I DON'T SEE HOW THAT CRITERIA IS MET EITHER. UM AND LAST TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION TO ALL THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. JACKSON AGAIN WAS LEFT OUT. NO ONE WAS THERE AT THOSE WOR WORKSHOPS. UM AND THE BOARD MEETINGS AND THEY WERE UNDERREPRESENTED AT THE ABC. SO I WOULD REALLY AGAIN LIKE TO ASK THE BOARD TO PLEASE VOTE. NO UNTIL WE HAVE TIME TO HAVE A BETTER, MORE FAIR, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY WHAT LCISD IS OUTLINED FOR THEMSELVES, THE CRITERIA AND OBJECTIVES. YOU OUTLINE FOR YOURSELVES. I THINK THAT'S BEEN MET YET. AND IF YOU WAIT A YEAR TO VOTE I MEAN, IF YOU VOTE NO FOR THIS YEAR AND WAIT TO GIVE US MORE TIME TO COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN. THAT IS FAIR FOR EVERYONE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE BEST. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR KINGDOM HEIGHTS AND FOR THE JACKSON FAMILY'S RIVERSIDE TERRACE, PARTICULARLY THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MARY BARNES. HELLO. MY NAME IS MARY BARNES.THANK YOU, DOCTOR. NIVENS PRESIDENT BRONZELL AND TRUSTEES. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. I'M GOING TO ASK A RHETORICAL QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN'T RESPOND. UM DOES ANYONE IN THIS ROOM BELIEVE THAT THE AREA CURRENTLY ZONED TO FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL IS DONE CONSTRUCTING NEW HOMES? ANYBODY I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT. SO I WANTED TO ASK WHY ALL THREE OPTIONS FOR THE NEW MAPS, UM, FOR THE OPENING OF TOMAS HIGH SCHOOL WOULD MOVE STUDENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ZONED TO LAMAR CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL, LAMAR JUNIOR HIGH AND WESS ORF MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHICH ARE ALL RUNNING SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER ENROLLMENT CAP AND MOVE THEM INTO FOSTER. WERTHEIMER MIDDLE SCHOOL AND BRISCOE JUNIOR HIGH, WHICH ARE ALL VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THEIR ENROLLMENT CAP, OR EVEN OVERFLOWING ALREADY INTO PORTABLES. UM MOVING STUDENTS FROM LOW ENROLLMENT CAMPUSES TO A HIGH ENROLLMENT. CAMPUS DEFIES LOGIC, ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THIS HYPER GROWTH IN THE DISTRICT AND THE POPULATION AROUND. FOSTER HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE EIGHT YEARS SINCE I BUILT MY HOME IN KINGDOM HEIGHTS, I CAN ONLY ASSUME WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW WHERE THERE ARE LARGE POTS OF ACREAGE AND DEVELOPERS STILL BUYING LAND TO DEVELOP ON I WOULD URGE THE BOARD TO REJECT THESE SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS THAT MIGHT SOLVE PROBLEMS FOR A YEAR OR TWO AND LOOK TO THE FUTURE. YOU MUST ASK FOR 1/4 MAP TO BE DEVELOPED FOR THE TOMAS REZONING THAT DOES NOT MOVE STUDENTS INTO WERTHEIMER, MI MIDDLE SCHOOL, BRISCOE JUNIOR HIGH OR FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL. EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF 500 NEW STUDENTS AT FOSTER, THIS IS ILLOGICAL TO ME NOW IN THE ABC, AND BEFORE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS AND WHERE KINGDOM HEIGHTS COULD POTENTIALLY BE MOVED. OUTSIDE OF JACKSON. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENROLLMENT AT BENTLEY ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS A FAR MORE COMPARABLY RATED SCHOOL TO FROST, WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY AT UM, WITH THE OPENING OF TERRELL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 35 . THEY'RE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS DROP SIGNIFICANTLY ENOUGH THAT WE COULD BE ACCOMMODATED AT BENTLEY AS THE NUMBERS STAND TODAY. UM HOWEVER, WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE WHERE THOSE NUMBERS STAND TODAY ISN'T AN ACCURATE PREDICTION OF THE FUTURE GROWTH IN CANDELA, SORRENTO AND OTHER NEW NEIGHBORHOODS. SO WHY WOULDN'T THAT SAME LOGIC APPLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL ? BRISCOE JUNIOR HIGH AND WERTHEIMER MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDING STUDENTS FROM OTHER AREAS INTO THOSE SCHOOLS? I ALSO WANNA USE THE REMAINDER OF MY TIME TO TOUCH ON A FEW THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT. UM I WAS SHOCKED. LEARNING ABOUT THE DISPARITY OF PERFORMANCE BETWEEN FROST WHERE MY STUDENTS MY CHILDREN CURRENTLY ATTEND, AND JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE RANKINGS, EVEN IF THEY DON'T MATTER TO EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM. THEY ARE
[00:50:01]
THE ONLY TOOL THAT WE HAVE TO MEASURE SUCCESS OF A SCHOOL. I FEEL THAT IT'S NOT THE STUDENT'S FAULT. IT'S NOT THE PARENTS FAULT, DEFINITELY NOT THE TEACHER'S FAULT AT JACKSON, BUT TO HAVE A DISPARITY OF OVER 2000 SCHOOLS LOWER THAN FROST. WE'RE TALKING FROST. BY THE TEA 100 AND 35TH IN TEXAS OUT OF 4500 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, JACKSON IS RATED 2175. SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT DROP. IF YOU WANNA SHUFFLE STUDENTS AROUND TO ADDRESS THE HYPER GROWTH, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A NECESSITY. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL SCHOOLS ARE PERFORMING ON A COMPARABLE LEVEL. SO FROST, I UNDERSTAND IS A TOP NOTCH SCHOOL. IT'S PART OF WHY WE BOUGHT AND BUILT OUR HOME WHERE WE DID WORSE. DEVASTATED TO LOSE IT. I HAVE A FIRST GRADER WHO CAN'T BE LEGACY IN MY FOURTH GRADER HOPEFULLY WILL GET TO FINISH HIS FINAL YEAR AT FROST, WHERE HE'S BEEN SINCE HE WAS IN KINDERGARTEN. BUT ALL OF THE SCHOOLS IN THIS DISTRICT SHOULD BE PERFORMING AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN MOVE FROM ONE SCHOOL TO ANOTHER, WITHOUT FEELING A HUGE DISPARITY, AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE BETWEEN THESE SCHOOLS. SO I HOPE WILL BE AN INVOLVED PARENT AT JACKSON. I HOPE TO HELP THE SCHOOL AND THE EDUCATORS THERE IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. BUT I JUST WANNA SAY AS A DISTRICT AS A WHOLE, WE HAVE MONEY. WE HAVE PASSED BONDS. BRING UP THE LOWER PERFORMING SCHOOLS SO THAT ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO FACE WHAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW. IF THEY WERE ALL IN THE MIDDLE. IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. WE'D BE SAD TO LEAVE OUR SCHOOL, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME CRUSHING DEFEAT THAT WE ARE FACING. RIGHT NOW. MANY PEOPLE ARE PULLING THEIR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. CHOOSING CHARTERS, HOMESCHOOL EVEN SELLING THEIR HOMES, SO THE BOARD NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. FINALLY I WANT TO SAY TO HAVE ONLY A FEW HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS MAKES THE REST OF US FIGHT OVER THESE TABLE SCRAPS WHEN WE SHOULD BE FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY.WITHIN ALL OF IT SHOULDN'T BE WE GOT OURS. THEY CAN GET THEIRS. SORRY. YOUR TIME'S UP. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MATTHEW JETER. GOOD EVENING. EXCUSE ME. GOOD EVENING BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DOCTOR NIVENS. UM I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT. MY NAME IS MATTHEW JETER. I'M A PROUD FATHER OF TWO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AT FROST. UH AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A THIRD NEXT YEAR. WHAT I WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS PROCESSES AND FACTS.
SO WITH THE LEVELING WE HEARD BACK IN DECEMBER, THERE ARE A LOT OF EMOTIONS. DOCTOR NIVIN.
YOU SAID, YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ABOUT UNTRUTHS THAT ARE OUT THERE. UM, BUT THE EMOTIONS THAT GO THROUGH WITH PEOPLE POTENTIALLY HAVING THEIR KIDS MOVED, UM, BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY LIVE IN, UH, AND WHAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY PLAN FOR BUT CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. AND THE FACT IS THAT FROST WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO HOLD. THE CURRENT ENROLLMENT OF STUDENTS THAT IT CURRENTLY HAS, WHICH IS CLOSE TO 1100. IT WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD 854. IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO HOLD THE 100, PLUS STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE THERE TO MANAGE THOSE 1078 STUDENTS. UH, IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED ELEMENTARY WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO HAVE SEVEN YEAR OLDS HAVING 5 TO 8 MINUTES FOR LUNCH. IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR FIFTH GRADERS TO BE GOING TO THE SAME RESTROOM AS A SECOND GRADER AS A FIRST GRADER, BUT IT IS ADAPTED TO THAT, BASED ON THE CURRENT CAPACITY THAT IT'S AT UM MS FOSTER AND HER STAFF DO A TREMENDOUS JOB OF MANAGING THAT SCHOOL CAMPUS AND THOSE STUDENTS AND WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD TO BE PART OF THAT FAMILY. BUT THE FACT IS, IS THAT IT'S OVERCAPACITY YOU ENTRUSTED. THE PUBLIC TO BE PART OF A COMMITTEE AND THE STATISTICS OF WHAT WAS PRESENTED IS 68% THAT SAID, HEY, OPTION FOUR IS THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD GO. IT IS, IT PROVIDES THE MOST RELIEF WITH THE LESS IMPACT. FOR THE SCHOOLS. YEP. I URGE YOU TO CONTINUE WITH THAT PROCESS WITH WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAS PUT FORTH BEFORE YOU TO SAY THAT OPTION FOUR IS THE WAY TO GO, AND THAT'S HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED FORWARD. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, FROST IS OVERCAPACITY. AND IF WE CHOOSE THAT OPTION, OR THE BOARD CHOOSES THAT OPTION BASED ON WHAT THE ABC CAME UP WITH, THEN THAT PROVIDES RELIEF FOR FROST, AND IT SPREADS STUDENTS THROUGH THE OTHER SCHOOLS WHO ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CAPACITY. SO AGAIN. THE FACTS ARE IS THAT FROST IS OVERCAPACITY AND IT NEEDS RELIEF. AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO VOTE ON THAT YOU GUYS
[00:55:05]
HAVE THE ABILITY TO VOTE ON THAT TO PROVIDE THE RELIEF NOW WE SHOULD NOT WAIT ANOTHER YEAR BECAUSE, AS IT'S BEEN PREVIOUSLY STATED THE AREA IS CONTINUING TO SEE GROWTH. DEVELOPMENT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF LAND IN THE FORT BEND COUNTY AREA THAT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, AND IT'S ONLY GONNA CONTINUE TO INCREASE STUDENTS ARE ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE, UH, AT THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, BUT WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT SCHOOLS ARE PROPERLY LEVELED FOR THE PROCESS THAT YOU ASK US TO BE PART OF. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS SCOTT RICKERSON. MM.GOOD EVENING. MY NAME'S SCOTT ROGERSON. I LIVE IN THE KINGDOM HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD. I WAS ON THE, UH ABC FOR THE FROST ELEMENTARY. UH, LEVELING. I DIDN'T I ALSO FELT LIKE WE WEREN'T THAT WELL REPRESENTED. I WAS ONE OF THE FEW THAT WAS FROM KINGDOM HEIGHTS, AND WE WERE OUTVOTED ON THE ON ALL THOSE NUMBERS THAT WERE SHOWN. WE WOULDN'T HAVE WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS. THE ONLY OPTIONS WAS OPTION FOUR TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER. WE AGREED TO DO THAT. AND THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION THAT WE SAW THAT . BUT WE STILL NO ONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ACTUALLY LIKED IT. WE WANTED TO STAY IT, FROST. WE FEEL LIKE UH UH. THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN FROST ELEMENTARY AND JACKSON. I'VE GOT THE TEXAS EDUCATION. AGENCIES RANKINGS.
FROST 131 BENTLEY, WHICH WAS AN OPTION. PREVIOUSLY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, APPARENTLY WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING IT, BUT IT CHANGED REAL QUICK BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH BUILDING IN THAT AREA WAS 508 JACKSON IS 2142. YOU'VE GOT OVER A 2000 DIFFERENCE. BY THE T A RANKINGS BETWEEN FROST AND JACKSON. SO OUR KIDS ARE GOING FROM A TOP RANKING SCHOOL. A FAIRLY LOW RANKING SCHOOL. THERE'S 2000 DIFFERENT IN IN THE RANKINGS OF ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN TEXAS I, I BELIEVE THE WORD FAIRNESS. WHICH I DRIVE BY WERTHEIMER SCHOOL. ALMOST EVERY DAY AND I SEE OUT IN FRONT, THE CITIZEN AWARENESS BOARD OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT. THIS MONTH. IT'S FAIRNESS AND I THINK FAIRNESS LET'S LET'S TRY AND BE FAIR. WE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NEVER TRIED TO TELL ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU SHOULD BE GOING HERE. YOU SHOULD BE GOING THERE. WE ALL FELT LIKE WE WERE ATTACKED FOR ONE AND BLINDSIDED FOR TWO. UH, THERE IS OPTIONS OF WAITING A YEAR BECAUSE THE NEW SCHOOL THE NEW SCHOOLS GOING IN IS GOING TO ALLEVIATE A LOT OF A LO A LOT OF STUDENTS GOING. TO BENTLEY BENTLEY IS PROJECTED IN NEXT YEAR. THE 2425 TO HAVE 716.
THEY HAVE A ROOM FOR 854 AND 2526. IT'S ONLY 526. THEY HAVE ROOM FOR 854. SO IF YOU WAIT ONE YEAR, THERE'S AN OPTION TO SEND TO A MORE COMPARABLE SCHOOL. THERE'S THE FAIRNESS WHERE THE FAIRNESS COMES IN, WHERE IT WAS BROUGHT UP. THE THERE SHOULDN'T BE SUCH A DISCREPANCY GOING FROM ONE SCHOOL TO ANOTHER, AND I DON'T THINK IT HURT IT IT IT HELPS ANYBODY. THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IN JACKSON, THERE WAS ONE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE ABC FROM JACKSON THAT WAS BROUGHT UP. AND SHE WAS IN TEARS. BUT SHE GREW UP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. HER KIDS HAVE GONE TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WALKED TO THAT SCHOOL, AND NOW HER WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GONNA BE BUSSED AWAY. AND SHE'S LIVED THERE HER WHOLE LIFE AND WENT TO THAT SCHOOL HERSELF AND RAISED HER KIDS THERE AND EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME. THEY'RE NOW NOW. SHE WAS IN TEARS WHEN IT CAME TO THE END, AND BECAUSE NOW HER NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SHE'S LIVED IN HER WHOLE LIFE IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY CHANGED AND THE AND THE KIDS CAN'T EVEN WALK TO SCHOOL ANYMORE. NO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE FAIRNESS COMES IN. FAIRNESS COMES IN WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S POURED INTO THE DISTRICT. WE'RE GOING FROM A HIGH RATED SCHOOL TO PROBABLY THE OLDEST SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. I'M NOT SURE BUT I JUST BY DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, JACKSON IS A VERY OLD SCHOOL AND IT'S LIKE WE WE'VE WE'VE VOTED TO PASS THE BONDS. WE PASSED THE BONDS, BUT YET WE'RE GOING FROM A HIGHLY RATED SCHOOL BACKWARDS. AFTER SUPPORTING THE DISTRICT AND TRYING TO GROW AND BUILD SCHOOLS, SO WE'RE WE'RE GOING FROM AAA VERY HIGHLY RATED SCHOOL, A NEWER SCHOOL BACK TO AN OLD SCHOOL, SO I MEAN, IT'S LIKE THERE'S YOUR FAIRNESS AGAIN. UH, I. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, I. I WISH YOU'D TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF JUST HOLDING OFF ONE YEAR WAITING FOR
[01:00:03]
BENTLEY. THE NUMBERS THAT CHANGE AND, UH HAVE HAVE AN OPTION TO GET US TO GO TO BENTLEY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO GO TO BENTLEY FOR THE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT. MORE COMPARABLE SCHOOL TO FROST. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LANCE WILLIAMS. GOOD EVENING. APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SPEAK AND ALSO REPRESENT, UH FROST ELEMENTARY ON THE ABC. UH, MY NAME IS LANCE WILLIAMS. I AM THE DAD OF THREE. LAMAR C ID STUDENTS ONE AT FROST, WHO I SEE IN THIRD GRADE. HE'S IN THIRD GRADE. STILL UH, AN EIGHTH GRADER AND A SOPHOMORE, UM, BRISCOE AND THEN AT FOSTER, UM I JUST WANTED TO COME UP. I GUESS I WANNA CHANGE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE I GET TO WHAT I WANTED TO SAY, BECAUSE I'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES AND I'M USED TO TWO OR ONE IN THIS ROOM. UM AND I AM A PASTOR. SO I TALK LONG. SO THERE YOU GO. NONETHELESS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS, I THINK, UM FOR ALL MY WIFE IS ALSO A TEACHER AT FROST, WHICH I'VE TRIED TO KEEP OUT OF THE PUBLIC. UM MY COMMENTS ANYWAYS. UM, SHE'S THERE. SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT MR JETER WAS TALKING ABOUT. ON A DAILY BASIS.THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB MANAGING ALL THE CHAOS, UM, TO DELAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR, I THINK WOULD BE I DON'T WANT TO USE A, UM TOO MUCH OF A WORD HERE, BUT IT'S IT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC FOR THAT CAMPUS. JUST HAVING, UM , THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS IN THAT IN THAT BUILDING. UM IT'S GOTTA BE LIMITING, UH, UP AGAINST THE LIMITS OF THE FIRE CODE. BUT I WOULD JUST PLEAD WITH Y'ALL TO NOT DO THAT. HAVING SAID THAT. THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO COME UP TONIGHT WAS VERY SIMPLE. AND I THINK I CAN DO THIS IN THREE MINUTES AND LESS OR 45 SECONDS OR LESS IS JUST TO THANK Y'ALL.
UH TO THANK Y'ALL FOR BEING HUMBLE. UM HUMILITY. USUALLY IT GETS PAIRED WITH CURIOSITY AND WITH LISTENING, AND I SENSE THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE THAT. Y'ALL RESTORED MY FAITH IN LOCAL POLITICS. I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL CONSIDER YOURSELF LOCAL POLITICIANS. BUT I DO. UM Y'ALL HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN THAT, UM IN THAT Y'ALL HAVE GONE OUT OF YOUR WAY TO HEAR US. UM EVEN WHEN IT'S BEEN ANGRY, EVEN WHEN IT'S BEEN A BIT INCOHERENT. Y'ALL HAVE RESPONDED, I THINK WITH GRACE AND HUMILITY, AND THAT'S BEEN EVIDENCED BY THE BY THE PROCESS THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH SO FAR. SO I JUST WANTED TO COME UP AND TELL ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU, UH, FOR BEING HUMBLE AND CURIOUS AND HAVING LISTENING , LISTENING EARS, BUT ESPECIALLY THE TWO TRUSTEES OF, UH, TRUSTEE HOTS AND TRUSTEE WELCH, WHO I DON'T THINK REPRESENT ME AS A HOMEOWNER, MAYBE YOU DO I DON'T REALLY SEE OR UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WORK. WELL, UM, BUT UM, WITHOUT YOUR, UH, CREATIVITY PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES, PRACTICALITY, EVEN MISS BRONZELL, BRINGING UP MAPS THAT IT FELT LIKE IN THE ROOM DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. BUT I KNEW WHY YOU WERE DOING IT. IT WAS TO SHOW LIKE THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION. THERE'S A BENTLEY OPTION THAT KEEPS BEING BROUGHT UP WAS PROVED TO NOT BE AN OPTION IN A BOARD MEETING THAT'S STILL ONLINE, SOMEWHERE AGAIN WITH THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS PROVED TO NOT BE AN OPTION. IT SEEMS LIKE Y'ALL HAVE DONE IN MY ESTIMATION, EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. AND YET, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT. WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. BUT YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BEST TO LISTEN AND TO ATTEMPT TO DO THAT AND MAKE THE MOST FOLKS AT LEAST HAPPY. UH, I KNOW THAT THE KINGDOM HEIGHTS FOLKS WILL DISAGREE WITH THAT. AND III. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, UH, FOR YOU TWO, ESPECIALLY FOR BRINGING PRACTICALITY AND HUMILITY, CREATIVITY AND CURIOSITY, UH, TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, WHICH DID TURN FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN PECAN LAKES. A SITUATION THAT WAS OF MAXIMUM LOSS AND MINIMAL GAIN MAXIMUM LOSS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MINIMAL GAIN FOR THE DISTRICT, AND IT'S TURNED THE TIDE NOW TO WHERE B A WILL, HOPEFULLY, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS ALL GOING TO SHAKE OUT. IT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED, BUT UM, ULTIMATELY, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T TURN OUT THAT WAY, I WOULD STILL SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING HUMBLE AND HAVING LISTENING EARS FOR ALL OF US. UM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE ABC MEMBERS. AH, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL UGLY COUPLE DAYS. AND IT WASN'T EVEN WHEN WE DISAGREED BETWEEN KINGDOM HEIGHTS AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. IT WAS CORDIAL. UM IT WAS MOSTLY KIND. UM IT DIDN'T GET OUT OF HAND AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THEM FOR JUST BEING KIND. UH, THIS CAN BE , UH, WE'VE SEEN IT VERY EMOTIONAL, VERY DIFFICULT. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SPEND MY TIME APPRECIATING YOU ALL SAYING THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A DISTRICT WIDE SOLUTION. THAT IS A LITTLE BIT, UH, OUT OF THE BOX . IT WASN'T ON THE FIRST THREE AND YOU WERE ABLE TO LISTEN AND, UH, ESTABLISH OPTION FOR I THINK THE BETTER OF THE WHOLE DISTRICT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKERS WE HAVE. RIGHT, MADAM PRESIDENT. WE
[9.C. Discussion of potential elementary attendance zones for Southeast Lamar CISD: Campbell Elementary School, Carter Elementary School, Dickinson Elementary School, Hutchison Elementary School, Velasquez Elementary School, and Williams Elementary School]
[01:05:07]
WILL HAVE OUR, UH, SOUTHEAST LAMAR CISD. UM PRESENTATION BY MS COLE HAMILTON AND MISS BUCHANAN AGAIN. THANK YOU, DOCTOR NIVENS. SO YOU'VE HEARD THE REASON AND RATIONALE TO WHY AND HOW WE APPROACH OUR MOMENT MANAGEMENT AND THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM TO PRESENT LEVELING MUCH LIKE THE CENTRAL LAMAR. WE FORM THE SOUTHEAST LAMAR TO ADDRESS, UM, LEVELING CONCERNS ON THAT SIDE OF THE DISTRICT. THE ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY ROSTER IS FEATURED ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW . THOSE IN BLUE ATTENDED ONE OR BOTH OF THE MEETINGS, AND THE INDIVIDUALS IN GRAY WERE UNABLE TO JOIN US. OUR CHAIRS THIS EVENING ARE CRISTINA GARCIA AND DANIELLE KRANTZ. BUT DURING THE ABC, UH, THIS COMMITTEE HAD EASY TO REVERSE TO REVIEW SURVEY DATA . UM SURVEYS WERE TO 4288 EMAIL ADDRESSES. WE RECEIVED 1220 RESPONSES THAT EQUATED TO 28% AND THE SURVEY RESULTS SHOWED IT WAS PRETTY CLOSE. 48% WANTED OPTION 1 52% PREFERRED OPTION THREE. SO AT THIS TIME, WE WILL BRING UP OUR COMMITTEE CHAIRS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES. AND ULTIMATELY WHAT? THE COMMITTEE UM WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL THIS EVENING AS THEIR RANKING RECOMMENDATION.GOOD EVENING, UH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DOCTOR NIVENS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TO PRESENT OUR A B C'S CHOICE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. WE ARE HONORED TO BE THE CO-CHAIR FOR THE SOUTHEAST LAMAR ABC. I'M DANIELLE KRANTZ. THIS IS CHRISTINA GARCIA. WE ARE BOTH PARENTS AND EDUCATORS. SO WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THAT THESE DIFFICULT DECISIONS HAVE ON BOTH FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS. THIS PROCESS WAS NECESSARY YET EXTREMELY CHALLENGING DUE TO LOGISTICAL CONSTRAINTS, AS WELL AS THE DESIRE TO DISRUPT AS FEW HOMES AS POSSIBLE. WHILE STILL MAKING A CONCERTED EFFORT TO LEVEL CAMPUS ENROLLMENT. WHENEVER THERE IS REZONING OR LEVELING IN A DISTRICT. THERE'S GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE MANY STUDENTS ARE POTENTIALLY BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR TEACHERS IN A SCHOOL CULTURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT CHANGES HARD, ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS. UM AND IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US THAT WE KEPT THAT IN MIND DURING THESE DELIBERATIONS, AND AS A COMMITTEE WE KNEW THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DID THIS RIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING IN THE SAME SITUATION OVER THE FEW YEARS. GOOD EVENING. I VALUE HOW LCISD INVOLVES PARENTS IN THE REZONING PROCESS AND GIVES THEM A VOICE. LC ID IS ISN'T STATED MANY TIMES AS A HYPERGROWTH DISTRICT AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO FULLY UTILIZE THE CURRENT FACILITIES. WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE GROWTH. THIS IS THE SECOND ABC COMMITTEE. I'VE BEEN A PART OF IT'S PROVIDED ME WITH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIFFICULT DECISIONS SCHOOL DISTRICTS MUST MAKE ON A DAILY BASIS. ON THE PROCESS IS CHALLENGING, AS DANIELLE STATED, IT IS A NECESSARY UNDERTAKING. PARENT AND STUDENTS ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR SCHOOLS, AND IT'S UPSETTING TO ALL INVOLVED TO RELOCATE STUDENTS TO DIFFERENT CAMPUSES. IT'S HARD FOR STUDENTS TO BE SEPARATED FROM THEIR FRIENDS, TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL AS YOUR BELOVED SCHOOL COMMUNITY. OUR GOAL AS A COMMITTEE WAS TO CAUSE THE LEAST NUMBER OF STUDENT DISRUPTIONS WHILE UTILIZING THE CURRENT FACILITIES TO BALANCE THE OVERCROWDING. WE WORK DILIGENTLY AS A COMMITTEE TO MEET THE ZONING PRINCIPLES SET FORTH BY THE DISTRICT. AS A COMMITTEE. INITIALLY, WE SET OUT TO CREATE A NEW MAP. WE WORKED REALLY HARD AND CAME UP WITH A FEW SCENARIOS THAT WERE CLOSE TO VIABLE OPTIONS. HOWEVER OUR GOAL WAS TO CHOOSE A MAP THAT BALANCED THE SCHOOLS AND PROVIDED STUDENTS STABILITY FOR THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF TIME. AND THAT MEANT THE COMMITTEE. UM WE WERE NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH ANYTHING BETTER THAN WHAT WAS PRESENTED. UM WE DID OVERWHELMINGLY CHOOSE OPTION THREE. FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE FEWEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS WERE IMPACTED IN THIS OPTION. UM I THINK IN OPTION ONE, IT'S OVER. 700 STUDENTS 759 STUDENTS THAT WERE GOING TO BE REZONED AND OPTION THREE IS 350. ADDITIONALLY THIS OPTION BEST UTILIZES THE FACILITIES IN THE SOUTHEAST AND DOES NOT AFFECT SCHOOLS THAT WERE REORGANIZED IN 2022. OPTION THREE BREAKS UP THE FEWEST NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT STUDENTS SHOULD NOT BE CROSSING HIGHWAY 59 TO GET TO THEIR CAMPUS. NOR SHOULD STUDENTS WHO CURRENTLY WALK TO THEIR CAMPUS HAVE TO CHANGE SCHOOLS. AGAIN TO REITERATE OUR ABC COMMITTEE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOSE OPTION THREE. ADDITIONALLY OUR COMMITTEE SUPPORTS A LEGACY PROVISION AS WELL, ALLOWING FOURTH GRADERS TO BE GRANDFATHERED IN FOR THEIR FIFTH GRADE YEAR. DANIELLE AND I BOTH THINK WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS FOR CHOOSING US TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMITTEE AND THANK THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR CHOOSING US TO BE THE CO-CHAIR
[01:10:01]
FOR THE EVENING. AT THIS TIME. WE'RE OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS ANY OF YOU BOARD MEMBERS MAY HAVE THANK YOU. SO I STATED TRUSTEES, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A FUTURE ACTION ITEM, PART OF THE PLAN WOULD BE TO ALLOW CURRENT FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS THE OPTION OF THE LEGACY PROVISION, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE'LL BE FIFTH GRADERS NEXT YEAR AND THEY CAN REMAIN AT THEIR CAMPUS. THIS OPTION IS NOT SIBLINGS AND PARENTS WOULD PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION AND MUCH LIKE THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, UM TRUSTEES. ONCE YOU DO TAKE ACTION, WE WILL UPDATE THE ZONING PAGE OF THE WEBSITE WITH THE FINAL APPROVED ATTENDANCE ON MAPS, AND THEN WE WILL NOTIFY IMPACTED FAMILIES WITHIN 30 TO 45 DAYS OF THE BOARD'S DECISION, WHICH BY THE END OF MAY, AND WE ARE GONNA SEND MESSAGES DIRECTLY TO THOSE IMPACTED FAMILIES. THANK YOU ANY QUESTIONS? OK? A MAN OF PRISON II. I WANNA MAKE ONE COMMENT. UM I. I APPRECIATE THE CHAIR, THE CO-CHAIR, UH, FOR COMING AND MAKING A COMMENT, UH, AS A SUPERINTENDENT, YOU KNOW, I'M I'M THE LEAD ADVOCATE FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR STAFF AND ALSO FOR THE BOARD, AND SO, UH, AS THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY TRY TO CREATE A MAP AND I SAT IN THE ROOM AND WE ABOUT AN HOUR HOUR AND A HALF AND TRIED TO CREATE A MAP AND, UM AND, UH, COULD NOT CREATE ONE THAT WAS BETTER. AND SO IN THAT MEETING, I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE, YOU KNOW, I. I HAVE A TEAM UP HERE. THAT'S UH THEY'RE EXPERTS AT WHAT THEY DO. THEY USE A LOT OF DATA THIS I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT THEY DO ALL DAY EVERY DAY. AND, UM I MADE A COMMENT THAT WHILE SOME OF THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT THE BOARD AND I RECEIVED IN MY TEAM RECEIVED WERE NICE AND CORDIAL, UM I WOULD SAY 80% WERE NOT UH, AND THEY WERE VERY TACTFUL. THEY'RE VERY HURTFUL. UM UM, MADE SOME PERSONAL ATTACKS AT PEOPLE AT SEVEN FOLKS WHO ARE VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME. UH, AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO DO THIS EVERY DAY ALL DAY. AND SO WHILE WE WANT THE FEEDBACK OF THE WAY YOU SEND. THE FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS BETTER APPRECIATED. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FAMOUS AUTHOR THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SELDOM REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAY. BUT THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MAKE THEM FEEL. AND SO YOU KNOW, AS MY STAFF IS HERE, WORKING EVERY DAY, DOING THE BEST THEY CAN, AND I HAVE SEVEN TRUSTEES UP HERE VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME WHEN THEY COULD BE AT HOME RIGHT NOW, UH, RUNNING ELECTIONS, PAYING MONEY FOR SIGNS AND DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT I ASKED HIM TO DO, MAKING THE HARD DECISIONS I ASKED THEM TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, I JUST ASKED THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WHEN YOU AGREE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM FIRST, YOU KNOW, WATCH THE BOARD MEETINGS, GET ENGAGED, GET INVOLVED. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ATTACKED. DON'T HAVE TO BE HURTFUL. WE DON'T HAVE TO DISAGREE AND BE DISAGREEABLE. WE CAN DISAGREE AND STILL GO HAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE AT THE END OF THE DISAGREEMENT, RIGHT? UH AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE AS WE CONTINUE TO DO THIS, WE ALL HAVE TO GROW SCHOOL SYSTEM. UH AND THIS IS NOT THE END WE ARE OPENING NINE CAMPUSES IN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS.WE'RE OPENING NINE CAMPUSES IN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS.

BM COHAN. THANK YOU, SIR. AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE FOLLOWING IN ATTENDANCE TO COME TO THE FRONT ROW AT THIS TIME, TIFFANY MOYER. AND JULIE GOMEZ. OK TRUSTEE. SO WHAT? MELTON ELEMENTARY AND RANDALL ELEMENTARY AND TYRELL ELEMENTARY OPENING IN AUGUST 2024 AND 35 AND 36 OPENING IN AUGUST. 25 WE'VE GOT A REZONE SOME ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES TO CREATE THE POPULATION OF STUDENTS WHO WILL ATTEND THESE NEW CAMPUSES. SO THIS ITEM IS TO TALK ABOUT THE MILTON RANDALL AND ELEMENTARY 36 ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE. THE ABC ROSTER IS PRESENTED ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU AGAIN. THOSE IN BLUE WERE IN ATTENDANCE FOR ONE OR BOTH. AND THOSE IN GRAY WERE NOT ABLE TO JOIN US. OUR COMMITTEE CHAIR FOR THIS ABC IS MISS TIFFANY MOYER AND MUCH LIKE OUR PREVIOUS ABC S. THEY DID RECEIVE SURVEY DATA AS WELL AS MAPS, AND THIS PARTICULAR SURVEY WENT TO 4402 EMAIL ADDRESSES. WE RECEIVED 1071 RESPONSES WHICH WAS 24% AND NOW FOR OUR REZONING . WE HAD TWO MAP OPTIONS. THEY HAD TO SELECT A PREFERENCE FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR AND A 2526 SCHOOL YEAR. SO FOR THE 425 SCHOOL YEAR OPTION ONE VIA THE SURVEY RESPONDENTS WAS A PREFERRED OPTION AND FOR THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR OPTION ONE REMAINED THE PREFERRED OPTION. AT THIS TIME. I AM GONNA BRING UP MISS MORI SO SHE CAN SHARE HER PERSPECTIVE AS AN ABC COMMITTEE MEMBER. HI GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR NEVINS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I AM TIFFANY MOORE. I'M REPRESENTING, UH, THE PURPLE TRACK FOR THE ABC. DURING OUR PROCESS. WE STUDIED EACH MAP AND LOOKED AT THE PROJECTED NUMBERS GIVEN TO US BY THE DISTRICT AND THEIR EMPLOYEES. UM, WE TRIED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A BETTER OPTION OUT THERE BY UM, USING THEIR COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT SHOWED US HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF NEIGHBORHOODS. UM, UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT I COME UP WITH A BETTER OPTION AND WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND OPTION ONE BE THE NEW BOUNDARIES FOR OUR, UM, TRACK. THE REASONS WHY WE CHOSE THIS OPTION. UM IT PROVIDED LEVELING FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES. IT DID NOT MOVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY MOVED IN A REZONING. UM IT HELPED KEEP BUSES OFF TEXAS HERITAGE PARKWAY. UM, IT WAS VOTED MOST FROM THE SURVEY THAT WAS SENT HOME TO THE PARENTS AND STAFF. UM, AND IT KEPT MOST NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER BESIDES TWO SECTIONS THAT WERE IN TARAN. LIKE I SAID, WE TRY TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO KEEP THEM IN TEHRAN, BUT IT DID NOT WORK OUT. UM, BY OPTION ONE. WE BELIEVE IT DID A GOOD JOB IN BALANCING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AT ALL SCHOOLS AND PROVIDED THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DISRUPTION FOR STUDENTS. WE ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE LEGACY PROGRAM AND, UM BE ALLOWED IN ALL FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT THEIR CAMPUSES BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THEIR FIFTH GRADE YEAR. THINK OK? AND SO TRUSTY THAT SHE STATED THAT FOURTH. THAT LEGACY PROVISION, UM WOULD NOT BE EXTENDED TO SIBLINGS.PARENTS WILL PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION AND TRUSTEES. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM FOR THIS EVENING. SO AFTER YOU TAKE ACTION, WE WILL UPDATE THE ZONING PAGE OF THE DISTRICT WEBSITE WITH THE FINAL APPROVED ATTENDANCE ON MP AND THEN WITHIN 30 TO 45 DAYS OF YOUR BOARD DECISION THIS EVENING, WHICH WOULD BE THE END OF APRIL. WE INTEND TO NOTIFY, UM STUDENT MESSAGES DIRECTLY TO THOSE IMPACTED FAMILIES. NOW. IN ADDITION, TRUSTEES, UM WITH THE OPENING OF MILTON RANDALL AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE HAD THE CHANCE TO UNCAP SOME
[01:20:02]
CAMPUSES. AS YOU KNOW, FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, WE'VE HAD TO, UH, LIMIT ENROLLMENT AT SOME CAMPUSES, SO UNCAPPING INFORMATION WILL ALSO BE SENT TO THOSE FAMILIES AND THE TRIPLE C IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE APPLY LEGACY PROVISION, IN THAT INSTANCE AS WELL MEANING THAT ANY STUDENT WHO IS A CURRENT FOURTH GRADER WHO WILL BE 1/5 GRADER CAN CHOOSE TO REMAIN AT THAT OVERFLOWED CAMPUS. SHOULD THEY DECIDE AND AGAIN PUT OUR LEGACY PROVISION THE PARENTS WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE TRANS OTHERWISE. ONCE WE UNCAP A CAMPUS, ALL STUDENTS WHO'VE BEEN OVERLOADED WILL BE, UM, REZONED BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL CAMPUS. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. DOES THIS MAP UNCAP ALMOST ALL OF THE ONES THAT ARE CAPPED NOW OR IS ANY OF THEM GONNA HAVE TO STAY CAPPED FOR NEXT YEAR ONLY. YES, MA'AM, WE WE'RE GONNA YOU WANNA SPEAK SO WE'RE GONNA CUT THE CAMPUSES? YES MA'AM. WE'LL BE UNCAPPING, LINDSAY, TAMRON HUGGINS AND MORGAN MORGAN. BUT NOT HUMANIST. WELL, THAT IS THAT THE NEXT ITEM? THAT'S WHAT OH, I'M SORRY. SORRY I'M GETTING I'M JUST LIKE WE ARE GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. THAT'S LINDSAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NO. YEAH. OK? UM, IS THERE A MOTION I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE ELEMENTARY ATTENDANCE SOUNDS PRESENTED TO NUMBER NUMBER ONE NUMBER ONE. OPTION. I GO BACK. MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT OPTION ONE PRESENTED BY THE COMMITTEE. OR SECOND. SECONDS ALL IN FAVOR. SAY I. I ANY OPPOSED. OK, MOTION PASSES. OK? ALL RIGHT, BOY. NOW WE HAVE ITEM 10 C. THANK YOU, DOCTOR.[10.C. Consider approval of elementary attendance zones for Terrell Elementary School, Elementary School #35, Adolphus Elementary School, Bentley Elementary School, Hubenak Elementary School, and McNeill Elementary School]
NIVENS. SO OUR FINAL ITEM REGARDING LEVELING REZONING IS THE REZONING FOR THE ATTENDANCE ELEMENTARY ZONES FOR TERRELL ELEMENTARY AND ELEMENTARY 35. TARELL ELEMENTARY OPENS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR ELEMENTARY 35 OPENS IN AUGUST 25 THE ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE ROSTER IS DISPLAYED FOR YOU ON THE SCREEN. THOSE IN BLUE ATTENDED ONE OR BOTH MEETINGS. THOSE IN GRAY WERE NOT ABLE TO JOIN US. OUR COMMITTEE REP FOR THIS ABC IS MISS JULIE GOMEZ. THIS COMMITTEE , MUCH LIKE THE OTHERS DID RECEIVE SURVEY RESULTS. THIS SURVEY WENT TO 5157 EMAIL ADDRESSES. WE RECEIVE RESPONSES FROM 1248, WHICH REPRESENTS 24% MUCH LIKE THE PREVIOUS ITEM, THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO PICK MAPS FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR, AS WELL AS THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR.AND SO FOR THE 2425. IT WAS A PRETTY CLOSE SPLIT, UM WITH OPTION THREE, COMING OUT SLIGHTLY AHEAD WITH 37% PREFERENCE, BUT THEN WE WENT TO LOOK AT THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR OPTION. AND CAME OUT SLIGHTLY AHEAD WITH 8 37% PREFERENCE. AND SO THIS EVENING WE DO HAVE OUR COMMITTEE CHAIR HERE TO TALK THROUGH THE COMMITTEE PROCESS AND RANKING AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. HI THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. UM MY NAME IS JULIE GOMEZ. SHE JUST SAID, UM I AM FROM MY HOME CAMPUS OF M NEAL ELEMENTARY, AND WHAT I REALLY APPRECIATED WAS HOW DIVERSE OF A GROUP THEY HAD FOR OUR ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE. THEY REALLY GOT A PRETTY GOOD REPRESENTATION OF EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE. EVERYBODY WAS VERY PASSIONATE AND REALLY FELT, UM FOR THE STUDENTS AND WANT TO DO EVERYTHING IN THE BEST INTEREST THAT THEY COULD FOR THEM. EVERY MAP WE WERE PRESENTED, I FELT WAS VERY DETAILED, AND WE WERE GIVEN LOTS OF EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHY THESE MAPS WERE PRESENTED TO US AND WAYS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO UH, MINIMIZE IMPACT TO STUDENTS BUT ALSO LEVEL OUT HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED IN EACH ONE. WE CHOSE TO SUPPORT OPTION ONE WITH OURS. UM, WE FELT IT WAS IMPERATIVE FOR US AS A COMMITTEE TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR STUDENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT THEY HAVE WITHIN EACH OF THEIR HOME CAMPUSES AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. AND THAT WAS ESSENTIAL. UM WE FELT FOR THE WELL BEING OF OUR STUDENTS AND PROVIDES THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO LEARN AND WHEN THEY CAN STAY WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM UM, OPTION ONE ALSO HAD IMPROVED LOGISTICS FOR COMMUTES TO SCHOOL. UM, PARENTS AS WELL AS SCHOOL AND BUS TRANSPORTATION, UM, HAVING THE LEGACY CLAUSE IN PLACE I FEEL LIKE WAS A WONDERFUL IDEA. IT REALLY HELPED MAKE US FEEL COMFORTABLE AND GIVE SOME SENSE OF COMFORT TO THE STUDENTS THAT ARE HAVING TO MOVE FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. UM, WHILE WE KNOW THAT MANY CAMPUSES WITH OUR CHOICE WON'T FEEL RELIEF, UM OF THE OVERFLOW DURING THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR, THEY WILL FEEL THAT RELIEF UM AND THE LONG TERM RELIEF WILL COME WITH OUR SELECTION IN THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR. UM THE STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL EXPERIENCE THE BENEFIT THAT
[01:25:02]
THE STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL EXPERIENCE BY WAKING THAT EXTRA YEAR UM, WILL REALLY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR THESE KIDS TO HAVE THAT LONG TERM RELIEF VERSUS IT, FEELING KIND OF TEMPORARY WANTED IT TO BE A LASTING, UM EFFORT. WE YOU COULD STILL ENJOY THAT COMMUNITY THAT YOU'RE USED TO, AND WE CHOSE TO RELY ALSO OR REFER BACK TO OUR SURVEY RESULTS, WHICH ON THE FIRST INITIAL ONE FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR, WE, UH WERE VERY YOU COULD, EVEN AS IN THE SURVEY . WE WERE VERY SPLIT IN OUR FIRST VOTES AS WELL AS A COMMITTEE. WE ARE SPLIT BETWEEN OPTIONS ONE AND THREE. REVISITING THE SURVEY BROUGHT US BACK TO OUR 24 25 26 SCHOOL YEAR WHERE WE SAW THAT OPTION ONE WAS THE MORE OF A LONG TERM. GOAL WHERE WE SAW MORE LEVELING AMONGST THE STUDENTS AMONGST ALL CAMPUSES AND FELT LIKE THAT WAS GONNA BE WORTH THE WAIT. THAT SEEING THAT, UM LOVELY OCCUR WAS GOING TO BE WORTH THAT WAIT, AND EVEN THE 2425 WILL STILL BE TIGHT. WE'LL STILL HAVE CAMPUSES THAT ARE PRETTY HIGH ON CAPACITY. WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT YOU GUYS WILL AGREE WITH US THAT THAT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT AND TO SEE THE RELIEF IN 2526. BOY.OK AND TRUSTEE IS MUCH LIKE OUR PREVIOUS ITEMS. QUESTIONS I'M SORRY. I JUST DECIDED I STARTED NOTICE. I STEP BACK TOO SOON. UH, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT THE COMMITTEE TALKED ABOUT REGARDING CUBAN ELEMENTARY BECAUSE CUBAN ACT HAS BEEN OVERCROWDED FOR THE LONGEST OF ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND I'VE GOTTEN AN EMAIL THERE'S BEEN SOME CHATTER THAT IF WE GO WITH THE OPTION THAT YOU ALL RECOMMEND. IT WON'T GIVE ENOUGH RELIEF TO CUBAN ELEMENTARY. SO WAS THERE. WAS THERE DISCUSSIONS OF THAT IN THE COMMITTEE? THERE WAS DO WE HAVE A SLIDE? THAT KIND OF PULLS UP OPTIONS 12 AND THREE NEXT TO EACH OTHER PREPARED? IT'S LIKE WHAT THEY WOULD SHOW. UM SO ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY ARE, UM, PRETTY HIGH FOR HER NECK. THEY WON'T SEE A TON OF RELIEF IN ALL OF THEM, UM , OPTION TWO. WHICH IS THE ONE WHERE THEY DID SEE SOME, UH, RELIEF THERE. IT WASN'T VERY LIKE PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T REALLY SUPPORT IT, UM FOR OPTIONS, ONE AS WELL AS OPTIONS. THREE. IT WAS A LITTLE IT WAS TIGHTER. FOR THE OPINIONS. BUT THE REPRESENTATIVES WE HAVE THERE FROM HOENE. WE HAD TO TAKE THEY THEY DID SHARE THEIR OPINIONS ON THAT. AND THEY EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE STILL GONNA STAY VERY HIGH TO BEING CAPPED.
THEY FELT LIKE IT WAS STILL LIKE THEY COULD DO IT LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANNA TEAR THEIR SCHOOL APART TOO MUCH. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THAT COMMUNITY THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM WAS KEEPING THAT COMMUNITY FEELING AND THEY DO. KUBAN DOES SEE SOME RELIEF IN OPTION ONE ACROSS.
IT'S JUST NOT GONNA REALLY BE FELT UNTIL THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR. FOR OPTION ONE. WHOEVER HIGHLIGHTED FOR ME. SO YOU ALL ARE RECOMMENDING OPTION ONE. WE ARE, UH, MICRO OPTION AND WHOEVER HAD MY LITTLE POINTER POINTED OPTION THREE SO AM I NOT SEEING SOMETHING? CORRECT UH, IF YOU IF YOU PLAY THAT OUT THROUGH THE YEARS, 2728 CUBAN IS STILL OVER 900 KIDS ALL THOSE YEARS IS THAT IS THAT YES, IT IS. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY DISCUSSED. UM BUT IT'S WHAT THEY WHAT THE COMMITTEE VOTED FOR. UM THE DISCUSSIONS THEY BROUGHT UP THEY STILL WANTED TO. THEY REALLY WANTED TO KEEP THEIR COMMUNITY TIGHT. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM, AND THE SURVEY RESULTS THAT WE WERE PRESENTED. WE WEREN'T PRESENTED SURVEY RESULTS BASED ON ZONED AREAS, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES FOR WE WEREN'T PRESENTED WITH THE RESULTS FOR JUST TINK. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESIDENTS OF HUMAN PREFERRED IF THEY PREFERRED OPTION TWO OR OPTION THREE THAT WAS UNDISCLOSED TO US , SO THE ONLY INFORMATION WE COULD GO ON WAS THE INFORMATION THAT WAS GIVEN TO US WITH. TOTAL NUMBER OF SURVEYS THAT WERE SENT OUT. SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SURVEYS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO ALL SCHOOLS UH, CAN YOU PULL THE SLIDE UP? THAT SHOWS THE, UH THE BREAKDOWN OF WHO RESPONDED TO THE SURVEYS, WHICH CAMPUSES GIVE ME A SECOND. OK SO WE HAD DID HAVE RESPONSES, BUT YOU CAN, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT SHOWS THAT 22% FROM ADOLPHUS 2937 FOR HEV NET.
I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THOSE 37% SAID IT WAS UNDISCLOSED TO US BECAUSE THEY WANTED IT TO BE, UM MORE OF AN OPEN REPRESENTATION OF HOW EVERYBODY WOULD FEEL. UM SO THE SURVEY RESULTS DIDN'T SHOW EVEN THOUGH THEY THEY HAD THE MOST RESPONSES. HO DID THEY HAVE 37% RESPONDING. THEIR SURVEY RESULTS DIDN'T SHOW THAT IT DIDN'T RELAY OVER. UM AND I DID GO THROUGH AND READ THE COMMENTS AND PEOPLE DID PUT ON THE BOTTOM AND WE WERE GIVEN ALL THOSE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. IT WAS PAGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PAGES IT WAS OF ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. IT WAS VERY, VERY LONG LIST AND EVEN READING THROUGH THOSE, UM, THE COMMITTEE TOGETHER DECIDED ON
[01:30:01]
OPTION ONE, WHICH PROVIDES SOME RELIEF TO HB NECK NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE OTHER OPTIONS DO, BUT THEY STILL FELT THAT THAT WAS GONNA BE A GOOD DECISION. UM, FOR US TO GO WITH NEXT FIVE YEARS. YEAH. CAN I JUST SAY I WAS LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND SO WITH OPTION ONE ADOLPHUS OPTION ONE AND OPTION THREE. THE OFFICE STAYS THE SAME. BENTLEY STAYS THE SAME HUGUET GAINS 200 STUDENTS IN THE FIRST YEAR. MICK NEO STILL GETS SOME RELIEF. UM THEY GET THEY GET A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIEF WITH OPTION ONE, BUT THEY STILL SEE RELIEF WITH OPTION THREE TALL STAYS THE SAME. AND UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 35 STAYS THE SAME. SO REALLY, IT'S HUMAN ACT IS GAINING 200 STUDENTS. IN THE FIRST YEAR, SO WE SERVE AS AN OVERFLOW CAMPUS. AND WHILE THAT NUMBER DOES SAY, LIKE 923 RIGHT NOW, AND IT SAYS 743 FOR NEXT YEAR, RIGHT NOW WE ARE ABOVE 900 . IF WE STAY THE OVERFLOW CAMPUS , WE'RE GOING TO STILL BE OVER 900. THIS DOES NOT SHOW THAT WE'RE THE OVERFLOW CAMPUS AND WE HAVE PEOPLE, UH, STUDENTS THAT ARE BUSSED IN FROM OTHER AREAS THAT COME TO ME. DO YOU KNOW WHAT AREAS THOSE ARE? WOULD THOSE BE SCHOOLS THAT ARE UNCAPPED? BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T WOULDN'T UM LINDSAY? YOUR MOM. WOULD ANY OF THEM GO TO SOME OF MARKS? YES IN OPTION. ONE HUMAN WILL CONTINUE TO STAY CAPPED. UM THEY HAVE ABOUT 100 AND 80 SOMETHING STUDENTS THAT CURRENTLY GO TO MCNEIL ELEMENTARY WOULD STAY THERE. UM THE TRIPLE C CAMPUS CAPACITY COMMITTEE HAS MET. UM AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS PROBABLY CHANGING THAT OVERFLOW CAMPUS FROM MCNEIL FOR NEXT YEAR AND BASICALLY STOPPING THE OVERFLOW FROM HUMAN ACT TO MAN AND FLOWING THEM IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. BUT, YES, OPTION ONE DOES KEEP CUBAN ACT EVEN THOUGH THOSE ADDITIONAL 200 STUDENTS ARE THERE IN THEIR ATTENDANCE ZONE. THOSE 200 STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER CAMPUS. IN OPTION ONE FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.AND THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THEY SAID WAS WELL. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE DID ASK ABOUT, AND THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT THAT'S KIND OF A SEPARATE COMMITTEE, SO THIS IS JUST DISCUSSING THE BOUNDARIES THEMSELVES. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S LIKE FUTURE PROJECTIONS FOR NEW CAMPUSES OPENING, UM AND CAUSE IT'S KINDA HARD CAUSE THIS WAS WE WERE ONLY THAT YOU CAN'T SEE EVERYTHING ON THESE NUMBERS. UM AND THE ONLY REASON THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY THAT MCNEIL HAS SUCH AN OVERFLOW . WE HAVE ALMOST 30 STUDENTS IN SOME OF OUR FIFTH GRADE CLASSES, AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'M THERE ON THE CAMPUS. I'M ALSO A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER THERE AT THE CAMPUS AND RIGHT NOW I'M SERVING AS A PERMANENT PRE K AID. SO I'M THERE WITH THESE KIDS A LOT AND I'VE SEEN HOW THE KIDS WE HAVE COMING OVER THAT ARE MOVED FROM OTHER CAMPUSES. FROM WHAT? THE ONES THAT I KNOW THEY'RE DOING REALLY WELL AT MCNEIL, AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY'RE DOING WELL AT MCNEIL AND I LIKE THAT. THEY'RE IT'S BECOMING HOME FOR THEM, UM AND I MAKE IT WAS I. I LOVE HER SCHOOL, AND I KNOW A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS IN LCISD ARE GONNA TAKE THESE KIDS AND GIVE THEM A HOME EVEN IF WHEN THEY NEED IT. UM I KNOW THAT THIS PROJECTION THAT WE HAVE SET UP WITH OPTION ONE DOES NOT GIVE THE RELIEF THAT EVERYBODY WISHES IT DOES. BUT THE SUPPORT SYSTEM OF LCIS D IS THERE TO HELP THESE STUDENTS THROUGH. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE CRAMMED IN LIKE SARDINES. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE NUMBERS ON THE SCREEN SHOW THAT YEAH, THERE'S A SUPPORT SYSTEM THERE FOR THEM. I FEEL AND IT'S WE DO HAVE THE LEGACY CLAUSE IN PLACE WHICH I TALK, WHICH THEY TALKED ABOUT AS WELL. SO I KNOW PERSONALLY 1/4 GRADER THAT IS A REZONE TO MCNEIL BECAUSE OF THEY'RE AN OVERFLOW FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL AND THEY'VE MADE THEIR HOME THERE AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR FIFTH GRADE YEAR THERE AS WELL. YOU MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES, ONE OF THE UM, COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE WAS THEY WANTED TO KEEP COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. WERE YOU MEANING NEIGHBORHOODS? DID SOME OF THIS? THEY SEE THAT SOME NEIGHBORHOODS WOULDN'T SO THEY DID FEEL LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOODS KIND OF NEEDED TO STAY A LITTLE BIT TOGETHER. SO FOR EXAMPLE, PARKWAY LAKES WAS A BIG DISCUSSED ONE IF YOU PULL UP THE BONE ZONE BOUNDARY AND FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA, IT'S AN AREA OVER BY SAM'S CLUB. UM THAT ONE WAS A VERY HEAVILY IMPACTED AREA, AND I LOVE THAT WE HAD A REP FROM THERE, AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW, UM, THE MOVING THE COMMUNITIES AROUND KIND OF, REALLY, UM, AFFECTS THE KIDS. THEY GET BOUNCED AROUND QUITE A BIT. AND THEN WITH THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BEING BUILT AGAIN, UH, COMING UP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 36 COMING UP IN THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR. THERE'S POSSIBILITIES OF THEM GETTING MOVED AGAIN. UM WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I KNOW HE'S THOUGHT VERY THOROUGHLY ON. AND THEY IN THAT COMMUNITY GOES NOW TO MCNEIL OR HUBICK. CURRENTLY THEY DO GO TO THE I HAVE TOO MANY. OK? SO THEY GO TO THE SECTION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE LOWER DISTRICT WEST DEPARTMENTS. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE CLUB ESTATES AT PARKWAY LAKES, THE MEADOWS AT PARKWAY LAKES AND THE GRAND MEADOWS AT PARKWAY LAKES. UM THAT SECTION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT. IT'S GRAND PARKWAY AS IT COMES DOWN, SO THAT'S THE ONE SECTION THAT WAS IF YOU LOOK AT OPTION THREE IS THE ONE THAT WE WERE LOOKING
[01:35:10]
AT, POSSIBLY MOVING OVER TO MCNEIL PERMANENTLY. WAS AN OPTION THREE. SO YOU LEAVE A OFFICE ATTENDANCE ON THE WAY IT WAS THAT SECTION EAST OF 99 WOULD STAY EAST OF 99. IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO ACROSS GRAND PARKWAY. AND BY DOING THAT. THAT'S HOW THE PROJECTIONS CHANGE. THAT'S HOW HUMAN ACT BECOMES UNCAPPED. AND THEN THE 891 SITS DOWN IN MCNEIL. AS YOU LOOK AT THAT, SO THAT'S WHY OPTION THREE CAME ABOUT WAS TO USE 99 GRAND PARKWAY AS OUR DIVIDING BOUNDARY AND KEEP THOSE FROM HAVING TO GO BACK AND FORTH, BUT IT WOULD BE MOVING THOSE SECTIONS OF GRAND THE GRAND PARKWAY. THAT WE LOOKED AT. IN OPTION THREE. THE PARKWAY LAKES SECTION, ALL THREE SECTIONS THAT NORTH AND SOUTH OF BEL AIR WOULD SHIFT INTO MCNEIL.SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT THAT QUITE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. AND THIS WAS ALSO TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THERE'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 37 WHICH ISN'T WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT ITS ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY, BUT WHEN IT OPENS, THERE WAS THEY WERE ADVISING US THAT THOSE PEOPLE IF WE MOVE THEM MIGHT MIGHT MOVE AGAIN. WHEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 37 OPENS UP AND YOU CAN KIND OF DO IT FOR THEM. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I THINK MR WELCH HAD WAS YES. HUMAN X BEEN CAPPED SINCE 21. AND THIS WOULD CONTINUE TO KEEP IT CAPPED. UM, ALL THE WAY THROUGH 25 WOULD BE THE FIRST YEAR SO IT'D BE FOUR YEARS CAPPED. AND THEY ARE STUDENTS WILL BE ATTENDING BOTH MCNEIL AND ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BECAUSE MCNEIL WON'T BE HANDLING THEIR OVERFLOW NEXT YEAR. ANOTHER CAMPUS WOULD HAVE TO HANDLE THAT OVERFLOW AS WELL. BUT BUT WHEN IT'S UNCAPPED, IT'S STILL GONNA BE OVER 900 STUDENTS, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE IS THAT RIGHT? SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT MCNEIL ON THIS ONE, IT DROPS BELOW CAPACITY, SO IN OPTION THREE, IT GETS BACK WITHIN THE BUILDING. OPTION ONE. NO, WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAY IN PORTABLES UNLESS SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. SO WE TAKE OPTION ONE THERE. THE ABC RECOMMENDATION. CUBAN IS UNCAPPED, BUT IT'S STILL OVERCAPACITY. AS FAR AS WHAT THE BUILDING IS BUILT FOR. YES, WELL TO BE CAPPED FOR 2425, UNCAPPED IN 2526 AND STILL IN PORTABLES. STILL I PORTABLES. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. NOT NOT NOT EVERYBODY. NOT ALL THE KIDS INSIDE THE PHYSICAL BUILDING.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY OVER. THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S NOT OVERCAPACITY AND FUNCTION WISE, BUT IT'S IT HAS THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. YES, SIR. AND ALL OPTIONS PRESENTED, AT LEAST TO SCHOOLS THAT STAY IN PORTABLES. YEAH. IT WOULDN'T IT WOULD BE THE OPENING OF THE FIRST SIX. IT KEEPS SO THE FALL OF 24 IS THE OPENING OF TERRELL. AND THEN THE NUMBERS FROM FALL OF 25 FALL 26 FALL. 27 IS THE OPENING OF 35, WHICH WOULD BE ON THE TOMAS HIGH SCHOOL SITE. BUT NO, SIR, WE DIDN'T HAVE OPTIONS FOR 37 THAT WOULD OPEN UP, POSSIBLY IN THE FALL OF 26 OR FALL, 27. AND I JUST KNOW AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD EVEN BEFORE THEN CUBAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN OVERCROWDED. HAS HAD TWO SCHOOLS IN IT. THEY THEY THEY MIRACULOUSLY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB . I MEAN, THE SCHOOL RUNS BEAUTIFULLY, BUT AT SOME POINT THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO. I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS EVERY TIME WE WOULD TRY TO OPEN ANOTHER SCHOOL. WE OPENED A OFFICE WE OPEN. IT STILL WAS SUPER CROWDED. WE JUST WE KEEP FINDING BANDAIDS FOR THAT SCHOOL AND JUST NOTHING EVER WORKS AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST THE AREA THEY'RE IN. OR IF WE'RE EVER GONNA JUST HAVE TO FINALLY GET MORE SCHOOLS BUILT OUT THAT WAY, WHICH WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO, AND THEN, HOPEFULLY 37 MIGHT. ALLEVIATE BUT SOMEHOW I JUST HUMAN ACT HAS BEEN THAT ONE SCHOOL THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR YEARS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BRING THE NUMBERS DOWN. AND EVERY TIME WE MOVE SOMEBODY, ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD OPENED. SO WITH THE SURVEY RESULTS, CAN WE SEE THOSE AGAIN? THE NUMBERS FOR ONE AND. SO IT WAS VERY CLOSE OPTION ONE AND THREE WERE BOTH CHOSEN. UH, OPTION ONE AND ONE IN THREE WERE CLOSE. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LONGER LIKE PEOPLE SAW THIS THE MASS FOR THE LONGER TERM AND 2425 THEY PREFERRED OPTION THREE. BUT THEN IN 2526, IT SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT TO OPTION ONE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCES OPTION.
THREE. THAT IS SO THE ONE THAT THEY ARE PREFERRED FOR OPTION ONE INCLUDED MOVING THOSE SECTIONS OVER THAT WAS THE HIGHEST RANK FROM FROM THE SURVEY RESULTS THAT GOT PUT OUT IS THEY WOULD RATHER THAT SHIFT OVER I. I I'M ASSUMING THE ONLY EFFECT THAT THEY HAD IS THEY
[01:40:01]
DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T PREFER THE ATTENDANCE ON A 35 AS MUCH IN OPTION THREE AS THEY DID DURING OPTION ONE. BUT THE SHIFTING OF PARKWAY LAKES IS PART OF THAT OPTION ONE THAT THE SURVEY PREFERRED MORE THAN OPTION THREE. AND LIKE YOU CAN SEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 37 IS RIGHT ON THAT BORDER, WHICH SHOULD RELIEVE SOME OF THOSE HOME NEXT STUDENTS ONCE IT OPENS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT PART OF OUR COMMITTEE. WHAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO MOVE THE STUDENTS AND THEN HAVE TO MOVE THEM AGAIN. I HAVE A QUESTION. UM I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER THAT AT SOME POINT BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT KINGDOM HEIGHTS TO BENTLEY. AND ON HERE, IT SHOWS BENTLEY GOING PRETTY FAR DOWN IN NUMBERS TO FIVE HUNDREDS, BUT DID WE RUN THE NUMBERS FOR KINGDOM HEIGHTS AND DECIDE THAT IF WE WERE TO SEND KINGDOM HEIGHTS TO BENTLEY, THE 35 WOULD OPEN CAPPED. SO CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW AT THE 716 THAT WOULD OPEN THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR. MORE THAN LIKELY BENTLEY WOULD BE CAPPED WHEN IT OPENED. UM THE THING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS YOU HAVE SORRENTO AND CANDELA SOUTH THAT IS IN THE BENTLEY NEIGHBORHOOD. UM AND THEY ARE REALLY PUTTING UP HOMES THERE IN A HURRY. UM AND THAT NUMBER MAY DROP TO 526. IT MAY STAY DOWN THERE OR IT MAY GO BACK. UH UM THERE'S JUST THOSE TWO MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS. THEY'RE JUST SOUTH OF BENTLEY THAT WERE WORRIED ABOUT FOR BOTH OF THEM. CAUSE THEY'RE REALLY WRAPPING UP RIGHT NOW. THERE'S ALSO ONE WEST OF BENTLEY AS WELL. THAT IS CORRECT . THAT'S THE ONE ON THE WEST SIDE. THAT'S SORENTO, WHICH IS THEIR HORTON AND THEY ARE JUST MAN DEAL. HORTON'S PUTTING UP HOMES RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER CANDELA SOUTH, THEY'VE ALREADY GOT ALL THE ROADS DONE. I HAVE ALL THE UTILITIES. UM, AND FROM WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH JOHNSON DEVELOPMENT THEY'RE PLANNING ON HAVING PAD MOUNTS IN HOUSES UP BEFORE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL. WHICH IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN THEY ORIGINALLY HAD TOLD US. AN ADOLPHUS STAYS PRETTY HIGH, TOO IN ALL OF THESE. YEAH, IT'S NUMBERS DON'T CHANGE ACTUALLY AT ALL. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE TURN. IT'S ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION WITH MR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. OK? BUT, YEAH, I DO. UM PIVOTING OFF OF MRS HARTZELL'S POINT. THIS IS FOR THE KINGDOM HEIGHTS FOLKS. THEY'RE PUTTING UP THE NEIGHBORHOODS LEFT AND RIGHT AND THEY'RE SELLING HOMES. WE ANTICIPATE ARE ARE THOSE NUMBERS THOSE ANTICIPATED NUMBERS NOT BUILT INTO YOUR PROJECTIONS HERE . THEY CURRENTLY ARE. THEY ARE, BUT THEY'RE BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN AND THE RATE AT WHICH THEY'RE PUTTING IN. SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM SAYING, HEY, WE PLAN ON CLOSING 100 HOMES A YEAR IN BUILDING THAT MANY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY RAMP UP AND THEY SAY, OH, HOMES ARE SELLING FASTER. WE'RE GOING TO 200 NOW. JUST BECAUSE WE CAN AND THEY'RE SELLING. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO MONITOR. WE MONITOR IT EVERY MONTH. EVERY MONTH. WE COME IN, AND WE LOOK AT IT AND SAY HEY, YOU SAID WE WERE GONNA BUILD 25 HOMES THIS MONTH. DID YOU BUILD 25 OR DID YOU BUILD 55? SO THE NUMBER OF PROJECTIONS ARE BUILT INTO THESE BUT AGAIN, THE DYNAMICS OF THE ECONOMY CONTINUALLY CHANGE. SO JUST BECAUSE THEY TELL US ONE THING, AND WE BUILD THOSE PROJECTIONS IN DOESN'T MEAN THAT DUE TO IN SOME AREAS, THEY MAY SLOW DOWN. AND THOSE NUMBERS SHRINK. BUT YES, THE PROJECTIONS ARE BUILT INTO IT. BUT THE PROJECTIONS ARE AGAIN THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM THEM. THEN WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE AND PHYSICALLY LOOK AT IT AND SAY REALITY SAYS THEY'RE DOING FASTER OR THEY'RE GOING SLOWER THAN WHAT THEY SAID. YEAH, I. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, UM BUT AGAIN, THERE'S YOU KNOW, THE FURTHER THOSE NUMBERS GO OUT, THE LESS RELIABLE THOSE NUMBERS. BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT ARE IN THERE MAKING SURE SO, YES, YOU COULD. MOVE KINGDOM HEIGHTS BUT THEN POSSIBLY BE CAPPED AND THEN ONCE IT DOES, AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS DO GET TO A CERTAIN POINT, THEN WE'RE REZONING AGAIN. BECAUSE BENTLEY'S FOOL SO WE WOULD JUST BE MOVING IT TO MOVE IT AGAIN. OR SOME OTHER AREAS DURING THAT TIME. AND I'M SORRY. WHAT WHEN DID YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY GET RE GET FILLED UP AGAIN, I. I MISSED WELL, SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS RIGHT NOW, THERE'S I BELIEVE THERE'S JUST OVER 300 STUDENTS CURRENTLY WITH COMING OUT OF KINGDOM HEIGHTS, UM I THINK IT'S LIKE 330 SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I HAD TO PULL THE ACTUAL NUMBERS. ONCE YOU LOOK AT THAT, PLUS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS WELL, KINGDOM HEIGHTS IS CONTINUE TO GROW AS WELL. SO WITH THAT GROWTH AND THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS GROWING YES, YOU WOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT IT, CAPTAIN 24, IT WOULD PROBABLY DIP DURING 25 BECOME UNCAPPED AND WOULD POSSIBLY BE CAPPED AGAIN ABOUT 2627. AND AT THAT TIME WE WOULD BE CAPPING AN OVERFLOWING THOSE AND THEN LOOKING AT WHERE WE NEED TO LEVEL AGAIN. THANK YOU. SO[01:45:04]
YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING IF WE SENT KINGDOM HEIGHTS TO BENTLEY CAN NEVER BE IN THE SAME SITUATION. WE'RE CURRENTLY IN WITH SYDNEY KINGDOM HEIGHTS TO FROST BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND BENTLEY ARE GONNA POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN GROWTH, AND WE HAVE A ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS BEING TRANSPORTED INTO BENTLEY THAT IT REALLY SHOULD BE GOING TO JACKSON BECAUSE IT'S TWO MILES AWAY. IS YES, SIR. WHAT? WHAT I'M SAYING IS, WE HAVE SOME UNDERUTILIZED CAMPUSES THAT ARE CLOSER TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAN THAN A CAMPUS THAT WE LOOK AT THAT WE SEE DEVELOPMENTS COMING AROUND. YES THESE ARE PROJECTIONS. UM, BUT AGAIN ONCE YOU PUT, UH, BECAUSE IT'S A LARGE COMMUNITY. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S 100 KIDS, 100 AND 50 STUDENTS. UM THAT'S A LARGE COMMUNITY THAT HAS CONTINUED TO GROW SO BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT.FACTOR INTO ALL THESE NUMBERS. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. OK, OK. OK? UM, IS THERE A MOTION WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO PUT FORTH OPTION THREE. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE ABC DID I FEEL LIKE CUBAN HAS NOT SEEN RELIEF IN MANY, MANY YEARS AND THAT ALL THE NUMBERS REMAIN.
THE SAME IN HUB GOES GOES, IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GOES UP BY 200 STUDENTS. UM I JUST FEEL LIKE THE OTHER WAY WITH WITH OPTION THREE. EVERYBODY SEES SOME SORT OF RELIEF. AND IN SOME SORT OF WAY, SO IS THERE A SECOND A SECOND, OK? ANY DISCUSSION. YEAH, I'M I'M I REALLY DON'T LIKE RULING AGAINST THE OR VOTING AGAINST THE ABC BECAUSE I REALLY RESPECT THE PUBLIC'S INPUT. UM BUT CUBAN ACT IS THE CUBAN ACT SEEMS TO BE PRESSING IN MY MIND STRONGER THAN THE OTHERS RIGHT NOW. SO, UM I I'M GONNA SUPPORT OPTION THREE ON THIS VOTE AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
WELL I ALSO THINK THE COMMUNITY DID SPEAK AS WELL AND IT WAS VERY, VERY CLOSE. UM SO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. UM, I'LL NOW CALL FOR THE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. UM AGAINST OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES. WE WILL NOW HAVE REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THE INFORMATION ITEMS. ALL RIGHT,
[11.A. Transportation Bus Rider Management System Update]
MADAM PRESIDENT, MR. BUCHANAN IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT AN UPDATE TO OUR, UH, BUS RIDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. GOOD EVENING BOARD OUR SEASON. DOCTOR EVANS. UM SO SOME CURRENT ISSUES. IF YOU REMEMBER BACK NOT NOT TOO LONG AGO AND IN AUGUST OF 23. THIS WAS ONE OF THE HEADLINES THAT WE HAD, UM, SOME FRUSTRATED PARENTS AS WE WENT TO OUR, UM FOUR TIER BELL SYSTEM, UM, FOR OUR TRANSPORTATION DURING OUR SCHOOL START TIMES. UM AND THIS IS OUR OUR TARDY BUS. SO WHAT A TARDY BUS IS A BUS THAT ARRIVES AT A CAMPUS AFTER THE FIRST BELL. SO IF YOU'LL LOOK DURING THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL, WE HAD 95 BUSES ARRIVING LATE, WHICH IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 18% OF ALL OF OUR BUSES WERE RUNNING TO THE CAMPUS AFTER THE FIRST BE UM, AS YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SEE AS AS THE WEEKS PROGRESSED, UM WE STARTED GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, AND WE'VE CONTINUED TO REFINE THAT WE'RE AVERAGING LESS THAN ONE TARDY BELL A WEEK RIGHT NOW FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. SO ONE THING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS THROUGH OUR OUR BUS RIDER. REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY OUR PRACTICE HAS BEEN THAT WE ROUTE EVERY STUDENT WHETHER THEY REQUEST TRANSPORTATION OR NOT, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RE A METHOD FOR PARENT TO SAY. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SEE BUS SERVICES OR WE DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE BUS SERVICES. SO BY DOING THAT WE HAVE TO ROUTE 4900 STUDENTS, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSPORT THAT MANY AS WELL. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE AVERAGING BETWEEN 41,000 STUDENTS PER DAY. SO AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE A BUS ROUTE THAT HAS 183 STUDENTS ASSIGNED TO IT. BUT ONLY 50 STUDENTS RIDE THAT BUS EVERY DAY. SO THERE MAY BE 20 STOPS ON THAT BUS ROUTE THAT WE START THE SCHOOL WITH BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHICH OF THE 183 WILL BE ROTTING. WELL IN ONLY 11 OF THOSE 20 R BUS STOPS HAVE STUDENTS AT IT. SO THAT CHART THAT WE SHOWED YOU HOW IT REFINE BETTER AND BETTER AS SO AS STUDENTS STOP RIDING BUSES OR NOT RIDING BUSES AT ALL. THEY GET REMOVED FROM THE BUS ROUTE. IF WE CONTINUE TO GO BY STOPS STOPS AFTER TODAY, AND THOSE STUDENTS ARE GETTING OFF. WE START REMOVING THOSE STOPS BECAUSE THOSE STUDENTS AREN'T THERE, SO IT TAKES THE TIME FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT.THROUGH THE SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT STUDENTS ARE ACTUALLY WRITING WHAT STUDENTS AREN'T UM, CURRENTLY OUR, UH, BUS RIDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. OUR CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE NOW IT ONLY ALLOWS US TO UPDATE ANY CHANGES THAT WE MAKE TO ANY BUS ROUTE TWICE A DAY. SO IT GETS MADE AT NOON AT 1 P.M. AND THEN IT GETS MADE AT 1159. SO IF A CAMPUS CALLS OR A PARENT CALLS AND
[01:50:04]
SAYS, I NEED BUS SERVICES, WE MAY UPDATE IT WITHIN THE ROUTING SYSTEM AT 2 P.M. BUT THE PARENT WON'T SEE IT UNTIL THEY GET UP THE NEXT MORNING OF HEY, WHERE'S MY BUS? STOP WHAT TIME AM I SUPPOSED TO GET UP NOW? I HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT IN THE MORNING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T UPDATE IT IN REAL TIME. SO THE OTHER THING IS OUR CURRENT SOLUTION AND OUR ROUTING SYSTEM, WHICH IS VERSA. TRANS THE INFORMATION DOESN'T FLOW BACK AND FORTH. IT FLOWS ONE WAY IN AND IT DOES NOT FLOW BACK. THE OTHER, UH, CONCURRENT SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE. YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH A WEB BROWSER TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE BUS OR TO BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS. IT DOES NOT HAVE A SMARTPHONE APP FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP AND BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT APP ON THE PHONE. NO MATTER WHAT BUS RIDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM YOU CURRENTLY HAVE. I MEAN, THERE'S TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED, SO THERE'S TABLETS AND THERE'S CARD READERS IN EVERY BUS. UM, IF YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT A TABLET AND A CARD READER WITHIN, UH, YOUR CARD WOULD BE LIKE, BUT IMAGINE DURING A SCHOOL BUS WHERE EVERY FOUR YEARS THAT'S THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THAT EQUIPMENT, SO EVERY FOUR YEARS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PULL ALL THOSE TABLETS AND CARD READERS OUT. UM, CURRENTLY WE ARE DUE TO REPLACE ALL THAT EQUIPMENT THIS COMING SUMMER. SO NOW WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK AT SOME SOME SOLUTIONS. UM, WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH WAS A BUS RIDER REGISTRATION FORM. UM THE REGISTRATION FORM WILL BE HOUSED IN INSIDE SCOURED, UM, IT WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO EVERY STUDENT MUCH LIKE ALL THE OTHER FORMS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOR PARENTS. THE FORMS WILL BE ATTACHED TO EACH YEAR, SO THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE FILLED OUT YEAR AFTER YEAR AS THINGS CHANGE. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ASKING JUST THREE QUESTIONS. UM, FOR OUR FORM FIRST WE YOUR STUDENT RIDE THE BUS DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS SMOOTHING OUT THOSE FIRST TWO WEEKS INSTEAD OF HAVING A LARGE HICCUP AS WE COME BACK, AND IT'LL BE SIMPLE. YES OR NO? UM, THE SECOND, UH, QUESTION THAT WE WOULD ASK IS WHAT IS YOUR STUDENTS MAIN FORM OF TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL, AND IT WOULD BE CAR RIDER, BIKE RIDER, DAYCARE OR BUS. AND THEN OUR THIRD QUESTION IS THE SAME QUESTION FOR THE AFTERNOON. UM THE REASON THAT WE ADDED THE TWO OTHER QUESTIONS ON THERE WAS, IT HELPS OUR CAMPUS STAFF. NO HOW MANY WALKERS BIKE RIDERS DO I HAVE? HOW MANY CAR PICKUPS HOW MANY DAYCARE HOW MANY BUSES SO THEY CAN BETTER PLAN FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL AND KNOW HOW MUCH STAFF THEY NEED TO ALLOCATE TO WHAT AREAS DEPENDING ON THE FLUCTUATION AND THE NUMBER SO THE COMMUNICATION PLAN , UH, THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED OUT AS WE'VE COMMUNICATED THIS TO OUR PRINCIPALS AND GOT FEEDBACK FROM THEM TODAY. UM, WE'RE COMMUNICATING TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THIS EVENING. UM, WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THIS PLAN TO THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ON THURSDAY. UM APRIL 1ST. THE FORM WILL GO LIVE AND SCOUR, UM AND WE'LL BE POSTING MESSAGES ON THE TRANSPORTATION WEBSITE ALONG WITH, UM PUTTING OUT MESSAGES ON SKY ALERT. SO IN APRIL AND MAY WE'LL SEND OUT ONE IN APRIL. 1 IN MAY FOR EVERY WE CAN SEND OUT SKY ALERTS POST PER BUS ROUTE SO WE CAN SEND THAT INFORMATION TO THE FORM, UM, INFORMING ALL THE PARENTS THAT CURRENT STUDENTS AT RODER BUS THAT THIS IS A FORM THAT YOU NEED TO FILL OUT FOR TRANSPORTATION. WE'LL DO THAT IN APRIL, AND MAY. WE'RE ALSO GONNA PUT BACKPACK FLYERS OUT IN APRIL AND MAY, UM, TO GET THAT WORD TO OUR PARENTS, AND THEN IN APRIL THROUGH SEPTEMBER, WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT IN OUR CAMPUS MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS. UM, SO EVERY LOSER THAT COMES OUT FROM THE CAMPUS ALONG WITH THE DISTRICT UM, NEWSLETTER. IT WILL BE PUT OUT THOSE, UM, INFORMATION WILL BE IN THERE AS WELL. UM THE COMMUNICATION PLAN THAT WE HAVE NOW IS ON JUNE THE 17TH JULY, THE 15TH AND AUGUST THE FIRST WE'LL SEND OUT A MESSAGE TO EVERY PARENT THAT HASN'T COMPLETED THE FORM. IT SAYS YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE FORM IF YOU DON'T COMPLETE THE FORM. YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION COME THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL. SO WE'LL SEND THAT OUT THREE SEPARATE TIMES ON AUGUST THE FIFTH, WE'LL SEND OUT A MESSAGE THAT SAYS YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR TRANSPORTATION? UM, HERE'S THE APP THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND MONITOR THE APP AS WE CONTINUE TO RUN THOSE IT ALLOWS US TO USE THE FIRST WEEK OF BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS TO FINALIZE ALL THE ROUTES. KNOW WHAT STUDENTS ARE THERE TO BE ABLE TO RUN THOSE ROUTES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS FOR OUR BUS DRIVERS TO KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT AND TO CHECK THE TIMING OF THEM. SO ANY COMPARED THAT COMPLETES THE FORM BY AUGUST, THE FOURTH WILL RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, WHICH IS AUGUST THE 12TH. ANY FORM THAT'S COMPLETED BETWEEN AUGUST THE FIFTH AND AUGUST. THE 21ST. WE'LL RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION BEGINNING AUGUST THE 26TH, WHICH IS THE THIRD WEEK OF SCHOOL. SO WHAT THIS WILL DO IS ALLOW US TO GET TO THE FIRST TWO WEEKS TO GET EVERYTHING SMOOTHED OUT. AND THEN ONCE THEY COMPLETE THAT TRANSPORTATION FORM DURING THAT PERIOD, THEN THE THIRD WEEK OF SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION WILL PICK UP FOR THOSE STUDENTS. SO ANY FORM THAT WOULD BE COMPLETED AFTER AUGUST. THE 22ND. WE'LL RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION WITHIN FIVE DAYS. UM, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET ON SOONER BECAUSE THERE MAY ALREADY BE STOPS THERE. SOME OF THEM IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE WE MAY HAVE TO REDEVELOP THE ROUTE OR SHIFT SOME, DEPENDING ON THE STUDENT LOAD. SO OUR CURRENT PRACTICE IS A PARENT FILLS OUT THIS FORM AFTER THE 22ND IF THEY NEED TO CHANGE THAT STATUS, THEY CONTACT THE CAMPUS TO SAY I'M NOT A CAR RIDER. I'M GOING TO DAYCARE, OR I'M GONNA BE, UM GOING ON THE[01:55:02]
BUS THAT WILL NOT CHANGE FOR OUR CAMPUSES. SO AGAIN. THAT PROCESS WILL STAY EXACTLY THE SAME. UM THE OTHER SYSTEM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT? IS LEAVING OUR CURRENT SYSTEM AND GOING TO TYLER DRIVE. UM TELLER DRIVE IS A, UM SOFTWARE, ANOTHER SOFTWARE PLATFORM. THAT'S THE SAME AS OUR ROUTING SYSTEM. SO WHAT IT DOES IS IT ALLOWS FOR COMMUNICATION TO BE INSTANTANEOUS. SO ANY CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN THE BUS SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY UPDATES WITHIN THEIR, UH THE TYLER DRIVE , WHICH IS THE PARENT APP THAT THEY'D BE ABLE TO LOOK AT. SO IF A CAMPUS CALLS AND SAYS I NEED TO ADD THIS STUDENT TO A STOP, THEY ADD IT TO THE STOP AS SOON AS THEY ADD IT, IT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATES ON THE PORTAL FOR THE CAMPUS, AND IT ALSO UPDATES ON THE PARROT ON THE APP. SO THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY TRACK ANYTHING AND SEE ANY OF THOSE CHANGES IN REAL TIME. THE OTHER THING IS BECAUSE IT'S INTEGRATED WITH OUR VERSA. TRAINS ROUTING SYSTEM INFORMATION FLOWS IN AND OUT OF THAT SYSTEM, SO IT'S NOT JUST LOCKED INTO INFORMATION GOING ONE DIRECTION. UM TYLER DRIVE DOES HAVE AN APP SO PARENTS WERE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP TO HAVE AN APP ON THEIR PHONE AND JUST PUSH THE APP INSTEAD OF HAVING TO LOG INTO A WEB BROWSER TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION.AGAIN WE WILL BE CHANGING OUT ALL THE EQUIPMENT. UM MAY THE 15TH TO JUNE THE 15TH. SO WE HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT 450 BUSES THAT WE'LL BE PULLING ALL THIS EQUIPMENT OUT AND REDOING THAT EQUIPMENT WITHIN A SMALL LITTLE WINDOW OF TIME. AND WE ARE PLANNING ON USING SUMMER SCHOOL AS OUR PILOT, UM SO WE'LL BE ROLLING THIS OUT IN THIS NEW WRITER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, UM, FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR FOR THEM TO MAKE ANY TWEAKS OR ADJUSTMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A FEW . SO WITH THE TYLER DRIVE WHAT YOU SAID AT THE BEGINNING ABOUT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY YES OR NO? IS THAT PART OF THAT TOO? OR IS THIS IN PLACE OF T? NO MA'AM. SO TYLER DRIVE IS THE ACTUAL BADGE WHERE YOU BADGE ON AND OFF, BUT YOU'RE STILL LOOKING AT DOING THE PROGRAM OF BECAUSE IF WE DON'T FILL OUT THAT FORM AND SAY YES OR NO, WE'LL END UP ROUTING. YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROJECTED TO HAVE 91,000 KIDS NEXT YEAR ARE ROUTING 46,000 KIDS AND NOT KNOWING WHICH ONE OF THE 21,000 WILL ACTUALLY BE ROTTING. AND WE'LL BE SENDING THIS BOTH IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH TO ALL THE PARENTS AND WHAT ABOUT NEW STUDENTS TO THE DISTRICT? SO IF THEY'RE REGISTERING AFTER AUGUST , 5TH, THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET TRANSPORTATION. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR REGISTRAR. OUR REGISTRATION OUR STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. WHAT THEY WILL DO IS AFTER APRIL 1ST ANY STUDENT THAT REGISTERS THIS IS PART OF THEIR REGISTRATION PACKET. NOW WHEN WE NORMALLY GO BACK, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR BACK TO SCHOOL FORMS THAT ARE THE WELL. THEY'RE HAPPENED BETWEEN AUGUST, THE FIFTH AND AUGUST THE 10TH. WELL THOSE DURING THAT TIME, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THE INFORMATION BACK FAST ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE ROUTES. SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS ONLY FOR OUR CURRENT STUDENTS. OUR SPED STUDENTS ARE SEPARATE. SO IT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR SPED STUDENTS. IT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR, UM, CAMPUS TO CAMPUS SHUTTLES FOR OUR STAFF HAS NOTHING TO DO TO AFFECT ANY OF THAT. THIS IS JUST OUR REGULAR ED STUDENTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE WITHIN THE SYSTEM. AND THERE'S THAT INFORMATION, GO BACK TO THE CAMPUSES, LETTING THEM KNOW WHICH STUDENTS ARE WRITING. WHICH BUSES DO THEY GET THAT INFORMATION? YES THEY'LL GET THAT THE FIRST WEEK, BUT WHAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO IS THEY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FOREMAN SKYWARD. THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL DOWN THAT DATE AND DESEGREGATE THAT DATA TO KNOW WHO FILLED IT OUT. WHO HASN'T FILLED IT OUT? UM AND ALSO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PULL THAT DATA DOWN TO SAY OK, HERE'S MY LIST OF CAR RIDERS. HERE'S MY LIST OF WALKERS. HERE'S MY LIST OF DAYCARE, UM SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PULL THAT DATA DOWN AT ANY POINT IN TIME. THEY WANT TO AND PRINCIPLES OVER THE SUMMER. CAN THEY PULL IT DOWN AND TRY TO CONTACT THOSE PARENTS THAT HAVE NOT YES, MA'AM. WELL WE'RE PLANNING ON THOSE. THOSE THREE DATES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOR COMMUNICATING TO THOSE. JUNE 17TH JULY, 15TH AND AUGUST 1ST. WE'RE PLANNING ON BOTH DOING AN EMAIL AND A CALL. TO PARENTS. AND I GUESS DURING THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL WHEN THEY HAVE THOSE BEFORE SCHOOL MEETINGS WITH THE PARENTS COME IN. THE TEACHER CAN SAY THIS. REMEMBER THIS IS WHAT YOU CHOSE JUST TO REMIND PARENTS WHAT THEY DECIDED TO DO BECAUSE THEY MIGHT CHANGE THEIR MIND. I SEE IT BETTER FOR YOU. I SEE SOME PROBLEMS THAT PARENTS MIGHT THINK WELL, BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET IT ON TIME. MY CHILD'S BEING PUNISHED NOT TO BE ABLE TO GET ON THE BUS. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT FOR THE DISTRICT WITH 45,000 KIDS. OK? SO THIS IS FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY? YES MA'AM. OK SO WHAT, IF, LIKE A HIGH SCHOOLER SHOWS UP AT THE BUS STOP I MEAN, IS THE BEST JOB GONNA BE LIKE, HEY, YOU'RE NOT ON MY LIST. YOU CAN'T GET ON THE BUS. I'M JUST ASKING BECAUSE I MEAN OR REALLY? THEY'RE LIKE, OH, MAN, I I'VE LOST MY MISSED MY RIDE TO SCHOOL, BUT I CAN STILL CATCH THE BUS AFTER SCHOOL. GO GET ON MY BACK AFTER SCHOOL WOULD BE A DIFFERENT UM, IN THE MORNING. I MEAN, WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE STUDENT SAFETY
[02:00:04]
INTO CONSIDERATION. IF THE STUDENTS HAD TO STOP. I'M JUST SAYING, BECAUSE SECONDARY STUDENTS WOULD DO THAT KIND OF THING. THEIR PARENTS AREN'T HOME. THEY MISSED THEIR RIDE.THEY'RE JUST GONNA GO CATCH THE BUS OR IF THEY'RE THERE IN THE MORNING. IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. WE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE STUDENTS WITHOUT YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IF THEY'RE AT A BUS STOP, WE WOULD PICK THEM UP AS LONG AS NOT 30 KIDS DOING IT ON ONE BUS. YES MA'AM, THAT THAT THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW WE WOULD HAVE TO START ADJUSTING AND LOOKING AT THAT.
BUT COMING HOME IS WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TO SAY. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE R BECAUSE, UM, THE AFTERNOON IS WHERE THE TRAFFIC IS REALLY HITTING US THE MOST. UM, BUT IF THEY'RE AT A CURRENT STOP, Y. YES, MA'AM. WE WON'T JUST I MEAN, BECAUSE WHEN HIGH SCHOOLERS GET ON BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE BEING LED TO THEIR BUS AND TRACKED AND OR MAYBE WHEN THEY BADGE ON, LIKE ANYBODY'S GOT A LINE AND THEY'RE LIKE, FOLLOW ME TO THE BUS. YOU KNOW, IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SO YES, MA'AM, BUT THE CARD LETS THEM KNOW SO THIS SYSTEM WHEN THEY CARD ON, IF THEY'RE NOT ON THE REGISTER FOR THE BUS, IT SENDS OUT A RED ALERT THAT SAYS YOU DON'T BELONG ON THIS BUS BECAUSE YOU MAY BELONG ON ANOTHER BUS OR YOU DON'T. YEAH SO IT LURKS HIM IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, FOR STUDENT SAFETY, WE WOULD WE WOULD DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL. THE TIMELINES THERE, UM, ON WHEN , UH PARENTS CAN REQUEST TRANSPORTATION, AND SO WE WE'RE DOING THIS NOW. YOU KNOW, FOR A REASON. OF COURSE, EVERYTHING IS STRATEGIC. UH, BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS IN MARCH. AND IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA GO INTO EFFECT IN AUGUST. AND SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA PUSH OUT A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE PHONE CALLS TO PARENTS. BUT WE KNOW WHEN THE DECISION IS MADE, AND WHEN IT HAPPENS, WE'RE GONNA GET THE EMAILS AND THE CALLS ABOUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT AND YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND SO WE'RE GONNA PUSH OUT AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE. UH VIA EMAIL VIA WEBSITE VIA PHONE CALLS, BUT I'M JUST I'M JUST SAYING IT NOW THAT WHEN IT COMES SAME THING. YOU KNOW, SAME THING ABOUT THE REZONING PIECE, RIGHT? WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT FOR SIX MONTHS, AND YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. SO WHEN IT COMES, I JUST WANT TO PRE PREPARE EVERYONE THAT WHEN IT COMES, WE'LL GET THE SAME. CONVERSATIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. AND SO WE'RE GONNA PUSH OUT AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE. UM AND SO WHEN, WHEN, WHEN MISS BUCHANAN AND, UH UH MR SLEETER CAN TOY WITH THE PLAN? UH IT SOUNDS GREAT. IT LOOKS GREAT. AND I'M I'M I'M APPROVING IT. BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE TO BE GOING EYES WIDE OPEN THAT WHEN YOU KNOW WHEN, WHEN? WHEN THEY MISSED THE TIMELINE THAT YOU KNOW WE'LL WE'LL GET SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT IT. UH, BUT WE'LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE PUSH OUT AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE AS FREQUENTLY AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION TO JUST MAYBE THINK WHAT SHE SAID WITH TRUSTY, B SAID, UM, SO IF A STUDENT IS NOT SIGNED UP IN THE MORNING, UM WILL THE SYSTEM LIKE AFTER THREE WEEKS? REROUTE THAT BUS, OK? YES THIS PERSON LIVES OVER HERE. THERE'S NO STOP THERE. IT'LL BE A SET ROUTE, NO MATTER WHAT. SO THAT BUS DRIVER HAS TO DRIVE THAT THAT ROUTE, EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SIGNED UP, THEY'LL JUST KEEP GOING. SO REMEMBER THE EXAMPLE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS IF I'M ON ELEMENTARY EIGHT TIER IF I DEVIATE FROM MY ROUTE AND ADD FIVE OR SIX MINUTES TO IT, IT'S GONNA JUST CONTINUE TO AND BY THE TIME I GET TO MY MIDDLE SCHOOL JUNIOR HIGH, I'M GONNA BE GETTING TO THE SCHOOL LIKE RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEVELOPING THOSE ROUTES KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT KIDS ARE THERE SO WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY AND KNOW WHAT STUDENTS ARE WRITING AND WHAT STUDENTS AREN'T AND THEN BE ABLE TO SLOWLY ADD THOSE STUDENTS ON BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE TAKING AN EDUCATED GUESS ON WHO'S GOING TO RIDE THE BUS WHERE THE STOPS NEED TO BE, AND IT TAKES US THE FIRST TWO OR THREE WEEKS OF SCHOOL TO FLUSH IT ALL OUT TO GET WHERE WE COULD BE USING THIS POSSIBLY WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. SO IF THIS IF THE SYSTEM SAYS OK COULD HAVE X AMOUNT OF PEOPLE'S WRITING. AND THEN AFTER IT FLUSHES OUT, AND THEN WE SAY THIS X NUMBER OVER HERE IS NOT HERE, BUT THE SYSTEM CAN FIGURE OUT A FASTER WAY TO GET THERE.
IT WON'T REMOVE THAT STOP. EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A POTENTIAL STUDENT THAT CAN GO THERE. JUST OK, THAT'S I THINK IT HELPS WITH HER QUESTION OF ABOUT LIKE IF A STUDENTS PERHAPS TO SHOW BUT IF THEY NEVER RIDE BECAUSE SOME STUDENTS SUSPECTED SECONDARY LEVEL THEY MAY GO A MILE TO THE WRONG STOP TO GET ON BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE WITH THEIR FRIENDS OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, BO, WE HAVE, UH, MISS, UH, MRS KATIE, MARTINA, TO COME GIVE US
[11.B. Instructional Update]
AN INSTRUCTIONAL UPDATE. GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT BRONZELL BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DOCTOR AND EVENTS.I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE THIS EVENING TO SHARE AN OVERVIEW OF OUR K 12 MATH PROGRAM WITH YOU ALL. UM YOU CAN SEE HERE AND A COMMITMENT STATEMENT FROM OUR LC IC MATH TEAM, LAMAR C IC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SUPERIOR MATHEMATICS EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO THAT AS GRADUATES THEY WILL HAVE MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE TO ENABLE THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. OUR MATHEMATICAL INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS IS OUTLINED IN OUR LC IC INSTRUCTIONAL HANDBOOK AND MORE SPECIFICALLY FOR ELEMENTARY DETAILS ARE OUTLINED IN THE GUIDE TO LC, ID ELEMENTARY, MATHEMATICS AND THROUGH CURRICULUM RESOURCES HOUSED IN THE CANVAS COURSES. OUR INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES. UM, FOR K FIVE EACH MATH. EACH STUDENT HAS
[02:05:07]
MATH FOR APPROXIMATELY 80 TO 90 MINUTES AND AT HIGH SCHOOL, EACH STUDENT HAS MATH FOR ONE CLASS PERIOD EACH DAY, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE. HOW ARE HOW THAT MATH BLOCK IS DIVIDED UP. EVERY STUDENT STARTS WITH A MATH, WARM UP DRAC, NUMERICAL FLUENCY AND NUMBER OF TALKS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND THEN AT SECONDARY, MORE DEEP PRACTICE AND, UM, MATHEMATICAL, WARM UP SKILL REVIEW, AND THEN THEY MOVE ON TO WHOLE CLASS INSTRUCTION. A MINI LESSON OF SORT. AND THEN SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION, WHICH COULDN'T BE MATH CONFERENCING, MATH WORKSHOP OR MATH ASSESSMENT , EACH GRADE LEVEL OR GRADE LEVEL IS DIVIDED OUT. AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, BASED ON THE LENGTH OF MINUTES THEY HAVE IN EACH CAMPUS CREATES THEIR OWN SCHEDULE. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT HOW OUR MATHEMATICAL INSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE STATE ADOPTED RESOURCES AT EACH LEVEL AT ELEMENTARY WE USE MIFFLIN HARCOURT, TEXAS GO MATH. AND AT SECONDARY IN SIX THROUGH EIGHT.WE HAVE MCGRAW HILL RESOURCES. GLENCOE MATH FOR SIX THROUGH EIGHT AND THEN PEARSON FOR MOST OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES, UM, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PRECALCULUS, WHERE WE HAVE A SUN GAUGE STATE ADOPTED RESOURCE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR OUR TEACHERS TO MEET THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS. YOU CAN SEE HERE A VARIETY OF THOSE RESOURCES BOTH AT ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY. THEY CONTINUE ON HERE TO THE NEXT SLIDE. IN ADDITION TO PURCHASE RESOURCES, WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DISTRICT CREATED CURRICULUM RESOURCES. AS WE DIG DEEPER INTO ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS. OUR ELEMENTARY MATH INSTRUCTION DAILY INSTRUCTION IS FOLLOWS THE GUIDED MATH FRAMEWORK FROM LAINIE SALMONS. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, TEACHERS STRIVE TO PROVIDE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS MATHEMATICAL THINKING AND MEETS THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE GUIDE AT MATH FRAMEWORK COMPONENTS THERE ON THE SLIDE. TEACHERS FOLLOW THE CONCRETE, REPRESENTATIONAL ABSTRACT MODEL. THEY USE THIS TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF MAMA MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS BY GRADUALLY TRANSITIONING FROM CONCRETE EXPERIENCES TO ABSTRACT REPRESENTATIONS. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT ELEMENTARY, DEVELOPING NUMBER, FLUENCY AND FACT FLUENCY. WE SPECIFICALLY HAVE AN LCISD FLUENCY PLAN THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP FLU FLUENCY AND AUTOMATICITY WITH THEIR BASIC BASIC MATH FACTS. IT'S ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A BALANCED APPROACH THAT FOCUSES ON CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING DURING DAILY INSTRUCTION. THE INSTRUCTION OF MATHEMATIC FACT STRATEGIES AND THE CONTINUED PRACTICE OF MASTERING AUTOMATICITY THROUGH DAILY WORK WITH GRADE LEVEL FLUENCY ACTIVITIES. YOU SEE HER ON THE SCREEN. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE KINDERGARTEN EFFECT FLUENCY STRATEGIES. EACH ROW IS A NINE WEEKS HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE FACT FLUENCY OVERVIEW FOR KINDERGARTEN AND IN THIS FACT FLUENCY PLAN. THE NUMERACY STRATEGIES FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL ARE ORGANIZED BY NINE WEEKS.
SKILLS BUILDING COMPLEXITY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND FROM GRADE LEVEL TO GRADE LEVEL, SO I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A BRIEF SNAPSHOT. THIS IS KINDERGARTEN. FIRST GRADE AND SECOND GRADE.
YOU CAN SEE WE'RE STARTING ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION IN 1ST AND 2ND GRADE. MOVING ON TO THIRD GRADE WHERE WE INTRODUCE MULTIPLICATION. AND THEN IN 4TH AND 5TH GRADE, OF COURSE, ADDITION SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION. A MATH FLUENCY STRATEGIES ARE TAUGHT THROUGH THE USE OF NUMBER TALKS DURING NUMBER TALK. STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXPLAIN AND JUSTIFY AND MAKE SENSE OF MATHEMATICS. TEACHERS ENGAGE IN NUMBER TALKS WITH STUDENTS DURING THE WARM UP PIECE OF INSTRUCTION AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH WEEK. WE HAVE A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON PROBLEM SOLVING IN ALL OF OUR MATHEMATICS CLASSROOMS ON THE SCREEN. YOU SEE THE MATHEMATICS PROBLEM SOLVING PLAN THAT LC IC FOLLOWS AS WE DIG DEEP, IT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AT ELEMENTARY THAN IT DOES AT SECONDARY AT ELEMENTARY. WE USE THE THREE REEDS PROTOCOL DEVELOPED BY DONNA BOUCHER. STUDENTS READ THE PROBLEM FIRST TO UNDERSTAND CONTEXT. THEY READ THE PROBLEM THAT SAME PROBLEM AGAIN TO UNDERSTAND THE QUANTITIES IN THE WORD PROBLEM, AND THEN WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO READ A THIRD TIME WHERE THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON THE QUESTION THAT THEY NEED TO ANSWER. IN SECONDARY TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP THEIR PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS. WE USE THE THINK ALONG PLAN WHERE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FOCUS IN ON THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK THROUGH THEIR WARM UP PROCESS.
ON MONDAY, THEY'RE DIGGING INTO THE TO THE STIMULUS OR THE TEXT INVOLVED IN THE QUESTION AND THE PICTURES THAT ARE INCLUDED, BUT THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE QUESTION ITSELF. THEN ON TUESDAY
[02:10:02]
, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY KNOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN THIS STORY. AND HOW WOULD THEY GET STARTED SOLVING ON WEDNESDAY THEY ACTUALLY SOLVE ON THURSDAY. THEY COMPARE THAT QUESTION THAT THEY'VE BEEN STUDYING TO ANOTHER QUESTION THAT IS VERY SIMILAR, AND THEN ON FRIDAY, THEY REFLECTING ON THEIR LEARNING AGAIN. THIS IS HE. THIS HELPS THEM DEVELOP A DEEPER PROCESS FOR ATTACKING PROBLEMS THAT THEY MAY COME ACROSS. MOVING INTO SECONDARY. WE HAVE, UM, A SPECIFIC COMPACTED CURRICULUM BEGINNING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS. WE OFFER TWO MATH PATHWAYS THAT ALLOW LEARNERS TO PURSUE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT BEST FIT THEIR MATHEMATICAL GOALS, EITHER ON LEVEL OR ADVANCED STUDENTS FOLLOWING THE ADVANCED MATH PATHWAY WOULD TAKE ALGEBRA ONE AS AN EIGHTH GRADER. JUST RECENTLY IN THE 20 IN THE 88TH LEGISLATURE, UM WE HAVE THE SENATE BILL 2124 THAT REQUIRES THE DISTRICT TO ENROLL STUDENTS OR PERFORM AT THE TOP 40% OF STAR FIFTH GRADE MATH INTO THAT ADVANCED MATH PATHWAY, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN AND WE HAVE TO LAY THAT OUT FOR PARENTS. PARENTS MAY OPT OUT OF THAT AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT. YOU CAN SEE HERE THE DIFFERENT COURSES AT EACH LEVEL DEPENDING ON THE ON LEVEL PATHWAY OR THE ADVANCED MATH PATHWAY AGAIN. THAT CHANGE HAPPENS IN MIDDLE JUNIOR HIGH WHERE THEY'RE COMPACTING CURRICULUM SO THEY CAN TAKE EIGHTH GRADE ALGEBRA ONE. GRADE SIX MATH PRE A P THAT ADVANCED MATH PATHWAY HAS ALL OF THE SIXTH GRADE TEAKS. IN ADDITION TO HALF OF THE SEVENTH GRADE, TIS OUR STUDENTS IN SIXTH GRADE PRE A P TAKE THE SIXTH GRADES TEST BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T MASTERED ALL THOSE SEVENTH GRADE TEAKS YET. IN SEVENTH GRADE. THEY'RE MASTERING THE OTHER HALF OF SEVENTH GRADE. TIS AND ALL OF THE EIGHTH GRADE TEKS. SO THEY'RE TESTED ON THE EIGHTH GRADE STAR ASSESSMENT. PROGRESS MONITORING THROUGHOUT. LOOKS VERY SIMILAR AS IT DID IN EL A IN OUR CONVERSATIONS EARLIER THIS YEAR. OUR KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS ADMINISTER THE TEXT.KIA ASSESSMENT IN BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END OF THE YEAR. IT HAS A MATHEMATICS COMPONENT. THE MATHEMATICS SUBTASK SPECIFICALLY FOCUSES ON MATH SKILLS RELATED TO NUMBERS AND COUNTING OPERATIONS PATTERNING IN MATH IN THE REAL WORLD. IN GRADES ONE ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH ALGEBRA TWO. WE USE THE MAP GROWTH ASSESSMENT AGAIN. THAT'S AN INTERIM ADAPTIVE ASSESSMENT, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE. ALL OF THE DIFFERENT MATHEMATICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE MAP GROWTH TEST. IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENTS, TEACHERS USE QUICK FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS AND SUMMATIVE CLASSROOM ASSESSMENTS TO MONITOR PROGRESS. WE GIVE A DISTRICT WIDE FALL BENCHMARK AND SPRING BENCHMARK FOR THOSE GRADE LEVELS THAT ARE TESTED WITH STAR AND THEN STAR IS OUR END OF YEAR ASSESSMENT. TEACHERS USE THE DATA THAT THEY'RE GATHERING THROUGH THAT ASSESSMENT PROCESS TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION AND ENRICHMENT AS NEEDED FOR STUDENTS AND THAT IN INTERVENTION ENRICHMENT TIME IS BUILT INTO CAMPUS DAILY SCHEDULE. TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT THIRD GRADE MATH STAR DATA AS A CHECKPOINT AS TO WHERE WE STAND JUST A REMINDER WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT STAR DATA WE HAVE LEVELS OF MASTERS MEETS APPROACHES AND DID NOT MEET GRADE LEVEL. APPROACHES GRADE LEVEL IS THE MINIMUM PASSING STANDARD FOR STAR. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR THIRD GRADE STAR DATA FROM 2023 83% OF OUR THIRD GRADE STUDENTS MET APPROACHES OR ABOVE. 55% OF OUR STUDENTS PERFORMED AT THE MEETS LEVEL OR ABOVE. AND 23% OF OUR STUDENTS PERFORMED AT THE MASTER'S LEVEL. OR ABOVE WELL OR THE MA AT THE MASTER'S LEVEL YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE BLUE BARS OR THE STATE COMPARISON AND THE REGIONAL COMPARISON FOR REGION FOUR, SO WE'RE ABOVE THE STATE AND REGION AT APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERED. TO ENSURE THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS. WE PROVIDE A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO TARGET NEED IS THE GUIDED MATH CADRE FOR TEACHERS IN GRADES K THROUGH THREE. PARTICIPATING TEACHERS ARE REPRESENTED BY A VERTICAL TEAM FROM THEIR CAMPUS. THEY ATTEND A WORKSHOP SERIES FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR, AND THEY DIG DEEP INTO GUIDED MATH. WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR DONNA BOUCHER, THE AUTHOR OF GUIDED MATH WORKSHOP AND GUIDED MATH WORKSTATIONS. YOU CAN SEE HERE, A FEW OF OUR TEACHERS PARTICIPATING IN THAT OPPORTUNITY. AFTER THE COLLATION OF THIS THIRD YEAR OF CADRE, WE WILL HAVE VERTICAL TEAMS FROM 27 OF OUR 30 ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED. WE ALSO HAVE SPECIFIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ADDRESS NEEDS IN SEVENTH GRADE MATHEMATICS. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR OF THE SEVENTH GRADE MASS SUMMIT, A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SERIES FOR TEACHERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THAT POST COVID DIP. DURING THE SEVENTH GRADE SUMMIT,
[02:15:01]
TEACHERS FOCUS IN ON THE TEAKS FOR SEVENTH GRADE, REALLY DEVELOPING A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTENT, THE STANDARDS AND THE CURRICULUM RESOURCES, UM TO USE WITH THEIR STUDENTS.TEACHERS LEAVE EACH SESSION WITH HANDS ON LESSONS AND ACTIVITIES THAT THEY CAN IMPLEMENT RIGHT AWAY. IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES, OUR CAMPUS INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES OUR DISTRICT LEVEL MATH CONTENT SPECIALISTS IN OUR DISTRICT LEVEL COORDINATORS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS IN COACHING , PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, MODELING IN THE CLASSROOM AND SUPPORT DURING THE PLC PROCESS. WE ALSO PROVIDE LOTS OF SPECIFIC MATH, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR AND IN SUMMER BASED ON OUR ASSESSMENT DATA AND THE NEEDS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SURE UM, OK. SO YOU SAID WE HAVE, UM, THE KE A ASSESSMENT. IS THAT AN A TEST? OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING THAT A TEACHER WORKS THROUGH AS THE STUDENTS ARE DOING THEIR WORK, AND THEN THEY LOOK AT THEIR WORK. ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT THAT? TEXT KIA ASSESSMENT? YEAH, MAYBE THAT'S IT. IS IT KE A IN KINDERGARTEN? SO TEX KIA IS AN ASSESSMENT THAT'S BEEN DEVELOPED AT THE STATE LEVEL. OK FOR KINDERGARTEN. UM, IT IS A ONE ON ONE ASSESSMENT, SO IT'S AN INTERVIEW PROCESS WHERE THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH SPECIFIC SKILLS WITH A STUDENT, AND THEY'RE DEVELOPING OR, UH, DEMONSTRATING MASTERY. AND THEN THE TEACHERS RECORDING THAT INFORMATION AND THAT INFORMATION IS SENT OFF TO THE STATE. OK AND AT WHAT GRADE DO THEY START? MAP MAP, MAPS, TESTING AND MAP IS GRADE ONE FIRST GRADE AND ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH TOO. UM AND THEN BENCHMARKS BENCHMARK IS STAR TESTED GRADE LEVELS SO IT STARTS IN THIRD GRADE AND WORKS UP FOR A MATHEMATICS THROUGH ALGEBRA ONE. SO THEY DO ALL THAT, ALONG WITH THE TESTING, REGULAR TESTING SIX WEEKS TESTING OR JUST LIKE THE BENCHMARK OR THE MAPS TEST COUNT AS A, YOU KNOW, A DAY, A DOUBLE GRADE LIKE A TEST. UM IT DEPENDS ON THE TEACHER HAS THAT AUTONOMY TO MAKE THAT DECISION. MP IS NOT USUALLY GRADED BECAUSE IT IS A ADAPTIVE ASSESSMENT, SO YOUR ASSESSMENT MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT THAN MY ASSESSMENT. BASED ON HOW WE'RE ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS. THAT TEST IS CHANGING, AND SO WE'RE NOT ASSESSED EQUALLY RIGHT , BUT THE FALL BENCHMARK IN THE SPRING BENCHMARK ARE GONNA TEST TAK. SO WE'VE ALREADY TALKED SO WE CAN ASSESS MASTERY USING THOSE TEAKS. AND THEN ONE LAST THING, THE MATH CADRE. UM SO WHEN THE TEACHERS GO AND THEY THEY LEARN THOSE THINGS THEY COME BACK. AND THEY SHARE THAT WITH THEIR MATH TEAM. HOW DO THEY DO THAT? LIKE WHEN DO THEY DO THAT? WHEN DO THEY HAVE THE TIME TO DO THAT KIND OF THING? SO IT'S A VERTICAL TEAM. IT'S ONE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER, ONE FIRST GRADE TEACHER, ONE SECOND GRADE TEACHER AND ONE THIRD GRADE TEACHER, AND THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THEY ARE GOING BACK TO THEIR PLANNING MEETINGS, THEIR PC CONVERSATIONS AND SHARING WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED. SO THEY'RE GOING BACK WITH RESOURCES. THEY'RE GOING BACK WITH EXAMPLES, AND THERE THE COACHES ALONG THERE WITH THEM TO HELP FACILITATE THAT CONVERSATION. WE DO THAT AGAIN NEXT YEAR AS WELL. UNTIL ALL THE SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN. THE PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO GET AS MANY COVERED AS POSSIBLE. YEAH, AS LONG AS THE NEED EXISTS. AWESOME. UM GREAT. THANK YOU. OH, SORRY. CAN YOU GO TO THE SCREEN ABOUT THE THIRD GRADE MATH SCORE? NO, THAT'S FINE. I. I WANNA ASK A QUESTION THAT I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS MIGHT BE ASKING. AND A LOT OF FOLKS WHO WOULD JUST BE LOOKING AT THIS FROM THE OUTSIDE. SO WE'RE WE ARE HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. UH, IN AS FAR AS THE MEATS CATEGORY, ALL OF THEM, ACTUALLY, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MEATS CATEGORY MEETS EXPECTATIONS. AM I SEEING THAT RIGHT? 45% ROUGHLY FOR THE STATE AND WE'RE 55% SO KEEP IN MIND THE NAMES ARE A BIT DECEIVING AND THAT THE APPROACHES IS ACTUALLY THE MINIMUM STANDARD.
OK SO THAT IS ACTUALLY PASSING THE TEST AND THEN THE MEAT SPRAY LEVEL. IS THE NEXT LEVEL AND THE MASTERS IS THE TOP LEVEL. SO APPROACHES PASSING. WE'RE AT 83% THE MEATS GRADE LEVEL AT 55% AND ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGE IN BOTH OF THOSE SO JUST A MINIMUM THAT WE EXPECT A THIRD GRADER TO KNOW IN MATH. 83% OF OUR THIRD GRADERS MEET THAT EXPECT THAT MINIMUM STANDARD. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. SO YOU HAVE 70% OF OUR STATE AVERAGE IS 73. THAT IS CORRECT. WHAT? WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET THAT TO 93? CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR KIDDOS ON GROWTH, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY WE'RE USING THE PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENTS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FIRST GRADE, SO SEEING WHERE GAPS ARE AND BEING REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORT THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT BEING GRADE LEVEL TO REALLY INCREASE THEIR GROWTH EXPONENTIALLY SO THEY CAN HIT THAT MARK IN THIRD GRADE. I IMAGINE THAT TAILS OFF FOR THOSE 17% THAT AREN'T MEETING THAT AND AS THEY GET FURTHER IN THEIR SCHOOLING CAREER THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE BUILDING BLOCKS TO CONTINUE ON RIGHT. THAT'S WHY THAT KEY THREE FOUNDATION IS SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO HIT THAT MARK WHEN THEY HIT THEIR GRADE.
[02:20:04]
IS THAT, LIKE GETTING A 70? YOU WERE TO PUT ON A GREAT SCALE IT IT VARIES YEAR TO YEAR AND GRADE LEVEL TO GRADE LEVEL. SO THE BAR CHANGES EVERY YEAR. BASED ON WHAT? HOW THE STATE SETS IT. SO TRUSTEES AS AS YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW THE AGENCY TAKES EDUCATION TAKES EDUCATION AGENCY. UH, THEY DELAYED OUR SCORES. AND SO IF YOU RECALL A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT, UH, HOW THE AGENCY IS CHA CHANGED THE SKILL SCORES AND THE MARKS AFTER THE FACT. AND SO, UH, YOU KNOW, AS OUR STUDENTS TAKE A TEST, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MARK IS. AND SO YOU KNOW, OUR OUR TEACHERS ARE DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB OF JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN THEY CAN. BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WHAT THE SCORES ARE EVEN FOR LAST YEAR'S DATA. AND SO THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT THAT, UH MOST A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE HAVING WITH THE AGENCY BECAUSE IT'S A MOVING TARGET. IT'S VERY HARD TO HIT A MOVING TARGET. AND SO, UH, THAT'S THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW. BUT ALSO TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION. MR WELCH, UH, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT SUMMER SLIDE, AND SO YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A DURING THE SUMMER WHERE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO READ. UH SAME THING IN MATTHEW. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE STEM CAMPS. WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS. WE LIKE PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO BRING THEIR STUDENTS UP OVER THE SUMMER TIME SO WE CAN ASSIST WITH THAT. UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS. I DON'T SAY A LOT OF STUDENTS. BUT WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS WHO, UM WHO MAY NOT CRACK OPEN A BOOK AT ALL DURING THE SUMMERTIME, YOU KNOW, AND WE HAVE SOME WHO WILL GO TRAVEL AND THEY'LL READ. THEY GO TO THE LIBRARY, AND SO, UH, WE TRY TO FILL IN THE GAP AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM TO OFFER A LOT OF SUMMER CAMPS IN THE SUMMERTIME ACTIVITIES SO WE CAN PREVENT THAT SUMMER SLIDE SO WE CAN CLOSE THAT GAP WHEN SO THE GAP WON'T BE AS WIDE WHEN SCHOOL STARTS IN AUGUST. SO DOES THE DISTRICT REACH OUT TO MAYBE THOSE STUDENTS THAT DON'T THE 17% AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE SUMMER. AND THESE ARE THE PROGRAMS. YEAH OK. ABSOLUTELY YEAH. SO THEY ARE TARGETED AUDIENCE FOR SURE. SO THEY'RE GETTING EXTRA COMMUNICATION. MANY OF THEM MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN, UM LIKE DOCTOR NAS MENTIONED A STEM CAMP A JUMP START CAMP. A LOT OF OUR CAMPUSES WILL BRING KIDDOS IN BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS AND DO JUMP START WORK WITH THEM PRIOR, UM GRADE LEVEL REVIEW AND THEN JUMP START INTO THE NEXT YEAR'S CURRICULUM AND THAT GROUP WHO DID NOT PASS AS THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR THAT WE WON'T GET OUR STAR DATA UNTIL AFTER THE SCHOOL. FINISHES SO IT'S THAT SUMMER WORK THAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO PREP FOR AUGUST. OK, THANK YOU. THAT WAS IT RIGHT. UM ARE THERE ANY ITEMS ON THE FUTURE[12. FUTURE CONSENT AGENDA]
CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS THAT TRUSTEES WOULD LIKE TO PULL FOR DISCUSSION AT THE APRIL BOARD MEETING? I GOT 112 K. DISCUSSION OF INSTRUCTION, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK A PRESENTATION WOULD BE, UH, GOOD. TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WENT THROUGH AND WHY THEY CHOSE CERTAIN MATERIALS OVER OTHER MATERIALS. I GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS, UM, FROM FOLKS WHO WANTED TO KNOW WHY WE CHOSE THIS OVER THAT, AND OK, ANY OTHERS? OK? IT IS NOW. 8:53 P.M. WE'RE A JOURNEY TO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT[13. CLOSED SESSION]
