[00:30:03]

[8.A. Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR)]

IT PROVIDES PERFORMANCE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION FOR EACH SCHOOL AND DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND PROVIDES EXTENSIVE DATA ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS STUDENT AND STAFF DEMOGRAPHICS. IT CAN BE ACCESSED EITHER ON THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY WEBSITE. THE LCISD WEBSITE AT THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY, PERFORMANCE REPORT AND LEGAL POSTINGS. ON REQUEST AT CAMPUS OFFICES AND AT THE LCISD RESEARCH ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE. I MENTION ABOUT ANNUAL RATINGS. DUE TO A COMBINATION OF CHANGING THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS ON THE STAR TEST. AND RETROACTIVELY INCREASING PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR CAREER COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS. HAD A DOWNWARD IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE RESULTS IN 2023 FOR MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AS A RESULT. A CONSORTIUM OF OVER 100 SCHOOL DISTRICTS FILED SUIT AGAINST THE COMMISSIONER TO BLOCK THE RELEASE OF THE DISTRICT RATINGS.

THE FINAL RELEASE OF THOSE RATINGS. WILL DEPEND ON EITHER UPCOMING JUDICIAL OR LEGISLATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER BASED ON THE DATA SETS RELEASED, UH BY TE, A TO LCISD. WE ARE ANTICIPATED TO HAVE EARNED A B RATING FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR. AREAS WE WILL REVIEW THIS EVENING INCLUDE STUDENT PERFORMANCE, UH, EARLY CHILDHOOD READINESS AND STAR PERFORMANCE. WILL GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND ENROLLMENT CHANGES. SERIOUS DISCIPLINARY INCIDENTS.

[00:35:01]

HOWEVER THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE STANDARDS AND A CHANGE IN THE DESIGN OF THE TEST. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WE REMAIN COMPETITIVE WITH THE STATE AND REGIONAL AVERAGES FOR STUDENTS.

THEY EXITING PRE K. AND THEN STUDENTS ENTERING THE NEXT YEAR. KINDERGARTEN FROM PRE K. WE REMAIN AHEAD OF BOTH THE STATE AND THE REGION ON THOSE, UH, ON THOSE TESTS AS WELL. HOWEVER THERE IS A LARGE DISTINCTION BETWEEN STUDENTS ENTERING KINDERGARTEN FROM PRE K AND THEN STUDENTS. THAT WERE ELIGIBLE FOR PRE K BUT DID NOT ATTEND. STUDENTS IN THAT CATEGORY DID ABOUT HALF AS WELL AS COUNTERPARTS THAT, UH, DID ATTEND PRE K SO PRE K DOES MAKE A LARGE DIFFERENCE. BUT NOTICE EVEN IT HERE WE ARE AHEAD OF STATE AND REGIONAL AVERAGES.

MOVING ON TO STAR UH, THIS SLIDE , UH, WAS PRESENTED TO YOU LAST MONTH. IT'S JUST A REMINDER STAR COMES WITH FOUR PERFORMANCE LEVELS. UH, MASTER'S STUDENTS MASTER OF THE TOPIC AND REALLY DON'T NEED ANY MORE. UH UH, INTERVENTION STUDENTS THAT ARE AT MEETS GRADE LEVEL WILL NEED SOME SOME STRUCTURED INTERVENTION THE NEXT YEAR AND APPROACHES GRADE LEVEL IS THE MINIMUM PASSING STANDARD. DID NOT MEET GRADE LEVEL IS NOT REPORTED, BUT IT'S CONSIDERED AS THE INVERSE OF APPROACHES. IT'S BASICALLY STUDENTS THAT FAILED THE TEST. LOOKING AT OUR LANGUAGE ARTS AND READING PERFORMANCE. OUR LANGUAGE ARTS DOES VERY WELL IN EVERY GRADE LEVEL. WE'RE HEAD OF BOTH THE STATE AND THE REGIONAL AVERAGES. WITH 80% OR BETTER. IN MATH. WE ARE AHEAD AT EVERY GRADE LEVEL. EXCEPT FOR WITH SEVENTH GRADE AND SEVENTH GRADE IS A BIT OF AN ANOMALY ACROSS THE STATE BECAUSE MANY STUDENTS IN SEVENTH GRADE ARE ACTUALLY TAKING THE EIGHTH GRADE TEST IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR, UM, EARLY INVOLVEMENT IN ALGEBRA ONE AND PREPARE THEM FOR THE ADVANCED MATHEMATICS, UH, SUCH AS PREC AND CALCULUS IN COLLEGE ALGEBRA. STAR SCIENCE.

OUR LOWEST PERFORMANCE AREA IS FIFTH GRADE WITH OUR HIGHEST AT THE, UH, GRADUATION TEST FOR BIOLOGY AND, OF COURSE, SOCIAL STUDIES. 70 PER CENT AT EIGHTH GRADE AND THEN 97% PRETTY MUCH COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. BUT NOTICE WE ARE AHEAD OF BOTH STATE AND REGIONAL AVERAGES FOR THOSE TESTS AS WELL. LOOKING AT ALL SUBJECTS. IN ALL GRADES. WHEN WE COMBINE THEM TOGETHER, OUR PERFORMANCE IS ABOVE 80% IN EVERY SUBJECT AREA AND IS ABOVE BOTH THE STATE AND THE REGIONAL AVERAGES FOR EACH SUBJECT AREA. WHEN WE LOOK AT DEMOGRAPHICS AND DISCIPLINE. WE LOOK BACK FIVE YEARS. AT THE CHANGE. AND BETWEEN, UH 1819 AND 2223. OUR ENROLLMENT GREW BY 21% WE ADDED 9000 STUDENTS TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. OUR ETHNIC AND RACIAL MAKEUP IS, UH, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO. UH, WE ARE A VERY DIVERSE SCHOOL DISTRICT. OUR PROGRAM.

ENROLLMENT IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. EXCEPT WE HAVE HAD, UH, PRETTY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OF 5.3% AND BILINGUAL ESL. ENROLLMENT UH, WE HAVE OVER 90 LANGUAGES THAT ARE SPOKEN IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE, UH, OUR SPECIAL ED HAS GROWN AS WELL BY ABOUT 3.8.

[00:40:12]

THIS MEANS THAT OUT OF THE OFFENSES THAT I SHOWED YOU ON THE LAST SLIDE 54% OF THOSE WERE ATTRIBUTED TO THAT ONE ISSUE. TE A DID NOT CORRECT THAT ERROR UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST OF THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR. SO STARTING WITH THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR, WE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT CATEGORY, UH, FOR VAPE AND THC. SO IF WE LOOK AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE AND WE EXCLUDE THOSE FROM THE DATA ANALYSIS ARE PER 1000 INCIDENTS GOES BACK TO 7.8, WHICH IS A LOT CLOSER TO THE TREND WE HAD SEEN COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC. AND OUT OF THE VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION HERE. AS FAR AS COLLEGE CAREER READINESS. OUR FOUR YEAR RATE IS A MISSION BEFORE FOR GRADUATION IS 94.1.

HOWEVER WITHIN FIVE YEARS OUR GRADUATION RATE GOES UP TO NEARLY 97. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS CHART. WE'RE VERY MUCH WELL AHEAD OF THE STATE AND LOCAL, UM , WHO HAVEN'T PEAKED IN THE FOUR YEAR AREA ABOVE 90% AT THIS POINT? WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR CCMR INDICATORS OVERALL. AND WE LOOK AT THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE WERE SLIGHTLY BELOW THE STATE AND REGIONAL COMING INTO THE PANDEMIC. WE HAD A SLIGHT DECREASE WITH THE CLASS THAT GRADUATED, UH, WHEN WE HAD VIRTUAL EDUCATION BUT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE AN UPSWING IN THE DATA FROM 22. IT WAS 64% AND OUR CAR PROJECTIONS FOR THE CLASS OF 23, OR 75% GRADUATED WITH, UH, COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS INDICATORS AND THE CURRENT CLASS OF 24 THEIR HARD WORK TRYING TO REACH 90% FOR THIS GRADUATING CLASS. SO THIS IS A VERY MUCH A SUCCESS STORY FOR US. ARE INDICATORS OUR INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION. 20% OF OUR STUDENTS GRADUATE WITHIN INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION, WHICH REMEMBER THIS WAS THE CLASS OF 22. THAT WAS LOWER THAN THE, UH, REGION AND STATE. HOWEVER IT WAS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT WE SAW TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THAT, SO THAT'S AN AREA OF CONSIDERABLE GROWTH. ARE DUAL CREDIT AND ON RAMPS IS, UH, ON PAR WITH THE STATE AND THE HEAD OF THE REGION. OUR STUDENTS THAT MEET A P CRITERIA IS ON PAR WITH THE REGION AND SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF THE STATE. AND OUR STUDENTS MEETING THE T SI CRITERIA, WHICH IS THE SUCCESS BENCHMARK. UH, THE HIGHER ED COORDINATING BOARD HAS FOR SATS AC T AND THE T SI A TWO TEST. WE ARE AHEAD OF BOTH THE STATE AND THE REGION THERE. WHEN WE LOOK AT STUDENTS GOING TO COLLEGE

[00:45:02]

UH, GRADUATES WITHOUT DEVELOPMENTAL COURSEWORK IN COLLEGE HAS NOT BEEN AN INDICATOR THAT'S BEEN PUBLISHED BY THE HIGHER ED COORDINATING BOARD SINCE 2019. SO THAT'S UNAVAILABLE DATA. AND LOOKING AT WHERE OUR STUDENTS GO. AFTER GRADUATING, UH, LOOKING AT THE CLASS OF 22 THE TOP, UH, COLLEGE THAT THEY ENROLLED IN WAS WARDEN COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE, FOLLOWED BY, UH, HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON, THE LONE STAR COLLEGE DISTRICT, TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY, TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE. UH, HERE IN ROSENBERG. BLEND UH AT THE BRYANT CAMPUS, SAM HOUSTON STATE, TEXAS A AND M AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO. QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION. YES MA'AM. DO YOU HAVE NUMBERS ON? UM STUDENTS? WHO LE? I MEAN, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THEM RIGHT NOW. MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM AT ANOTHER TIME OF STUDENTS WHO GO ON TO LIKE TECHNICAL SCHOOL INSTEAD OF COLLEGE. YES ACTUALLY, WE HAVE THEM LUMPED TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE OF THIS. OH, SO IT'S COLLEGE OR TECHNICAL, SCHOOL, COLLEGE OR TECHNICAL SCHOOL AND THEN ALSO BACK WHEN YOU WERE SHOWING THE SLIDES FOR THE STAR TESTING, UM SO WE WERE LOOKING AT OUR PERCENTAGE. THAT PERCENTAGE NUMBER IS PERCENTAGE OF WHAT WAS THAT MEETS EXPECTATIONS. THAT'S THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS PASSING THE TEST AT THE TOP THREE CATEGORIES, SO THAT INCLUDES APPROACHING THAT INCLUDES APPROACHES MEETS AND MASTER. OK, SO THEN IT REQUIRE YOU ALL TO BREAK THAT OUT. NO.

PINK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UM IT IT'S DID I READ THE STATS RIGHT THAT EVERYTHING IN ALL GRADE LEVELS AND IN ALL SUBJECTS, LAMAR IS KICKING BUTT COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE AREA. IS THAT ACCURATE? THAT IS THAT IS A ACCURATE STATEMENT. IN FACT, WE DO, UH, INTERNAL LIST WHERE WE TRY TO TRACK THAT, UH, WITH A LIST OF SCHOOL, LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SO WE DO VERY WELL. OUR ONLY POINT OF GROWTH IS REALLY SEVENTH GRADE MATH. AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF A LOT OF CRITICISM OF PUBLIC ED, SO I WOULD JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND TO ALL OF OUR TEACHERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND ALL THE PER AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT SUPPORTS. THE KIDS LEARNING BECAUSE TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S CRITICISM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, WE'RE DOING IT BETTER THAN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE AROUND US. UM THE OTHER THING I WAS GONNA ASK YOU IS THE FOUR YEAR GRADUATION RATE. UH, YOU HAD SAID, WE'RE AT 94. UH, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE OR OR IF YOU HAVE IT OFF HAND, WHAT IS WHAT IS THE OTHER COMPARISON OF THE OTHER. THE OTHER ONE IS THE FIVE YEAR RATE. UH WHICH, UH, WE'RE AT 96.7% THERE IS A ABOUT 3% OF OUR STUDENTS THAT IT TAKES THEM A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO GRADUATE, EITHER. THEY HAVE TO, UH, RECOVER SOME CREDITS OF CLASSES. THEY FAILED IN HIGH SCHOOL OR THEY NEED TO COME BACK AND PASS THE, UH THE ECS. AND THIS IS A GOOD THIS IS A GOOD THING. W. WHY WHY IS OUR RATE SO MUCH HIGHER? IS IT IS IT BECAUSE OF 1621, OR DO WE HAVE ANY REASON? UH, I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION OF 1621. AND WE MAKE A LOT OF EFFORT IN THIS DISTRICT TO GO BACK AND RECOVER STUDENTS. UH THAT THAT MAY NOT HAVE GRADUATED AND TRY TO BRING THEM IN. AND THE SOONER WE GET TO THEM, THE BETTER WE ARE. THANK YOU. I THINK FOR ME ALONG WITH MR WELCH IS TO GIVE A MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR TEAM TO LOOK AT THE STATS AND SEE THAT AND ALL SUBJECTS. UM WE'RE PERFORMING WAY ABOVE STATE IN REGIONAL SO THAN OUR GRADUATION RATES AS WELL. SO A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AND PARENTS AND EVERYONE ON THE CAMPUS LEVEL AND ALSO IN THE DISTRICT LEVEL, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FIGHTING FOR OUR KIDS TO GRADUATE. I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT CCMR, AND YOU WERE PREDICTING THE NEXT ONE. AND YOU HAD IT AT 75% I WAS JUST

[00:50:03]

[9. CONSENT AGENDA]

[9.L. Consider approval of renewal engagement of independent auditors for 2023-2024 fiscal year]

OH, NO. ANY DISCUSSION? SORRY THERE WE ARE. YEAH, I WE WERE IN THIS ROOM LAST YEAR WHEN WE HAVE . THIS IS A PROPOSAL BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO USE A FIRM CALLED WHITNEY P AS OUR INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AUDITORS. AND, UM I WAS SUGGESTING LAST YEAR THAT IS AT THAT POINT, I HAD BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR FOUR YEARS, AND WE HAD ALWAYS USED THEM, AND I THINK WE'VE USED THEM FOR A LONG TIME. AND I HAD RECOMMENDED THAT WE USE ANOTHER FIRM AT LEAST ONE OR TWO YEARS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING FRESH EYES ON OUR BOOKS. AND WE, THE ADMINISTRATION HAS COME BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME RECOMMENDATION FOR THE SAME COMPANY. SO I WAS HOPING YOU YOU COULD SPEAK TO AS TO WHY Y'ALL CHOSE WHITNEY PENNE AGAIN. UM LAST YEAR, WE DID AN RFP PROCESS. UM AS WE DO PERIODICALLY, UH, TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL FIRMS, AND IN THIS CASE, UH, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, UH, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF FIRMS THAT SUBMITTED PROPOSALS AND THE COMMITTEE EVENTUALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, DECIDED TO RECOMMEND WHITLEY PENN. WHICH UM, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD APPROVED LAST YEAR. UM THIS YEAR, UH, WE FELT LIKE, UM THEY DID A GREAT JOB AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST AND DECIDED TO RECOMMEND THEM AGAIN.

UH, WE DID NOT DO ANOTHER RFP PROCESS THIS YEAR, THOUGH. THIS FARM IS WELL KNOWN IN THE STATE.

UH, THEY PROVIDE, UH, TRAININGS TO MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND THEY DO, UM, HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICT CLIENTS. TO CLARIFY THAT PROCESS JUST TO WELL, WHEN I YOU KNOW, WHEN I CAME IN 2021 IN MY FIVE YEAR PLAN, I TOLD THE BOARD THAT WE WERE DOING BUSINESS WITH QUITE A FEW FIRMS FOR A LONG TIME. UM AND SO LAST YEAR WE PUT OUT THE WE DID THE RF QR QR FP PROCESS FOR WINEY, AND SO THEY'LL COME. THEY'LL COME BACK AGAIN IN ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. AND SO, UH, WE JUST WHERE R QR FP. ALL OF OUR MAJOR SERVICES. UM STRATEGICALLY EVERY YEAR, AND SO THEY HAD JUST GONE THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS THIS TIME LAST YEAR. AND SO LAST YEAR WAS THEIR FIRST, UM THE FIRST CONTRACT UNDER THE NEW RFQ. THAT MAKES SENSE. AND SO WE DID IT, AND SO WE DO IT ABOUT EVERY FIVE YEARS PERIOD JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE BEST, UH, BEST SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. MY I. I HAVE NO CRITICISM OF THE FIRM. I'VE MY INTERACTION WITH THEM. THEY SEEM EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL. UH, MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THERE'S JUST A FAMILIARITY WITH THE FIRM IN THE DISTRICT. PERSONNEL UH, SAME BOOKS, AND I'M JUST THINKING

[00:55:05]

[10.A. Review and discuss potential attendance zone for Tomas High School, Banks Junior High School and Bielstein Middle School]

LOOKING AT MAPS AND PROJECTIONS. WE DO HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF OUR ABC HERE THIS EVENING TO SHARE WITH YOU THEIR PERSPECTIVE. WE'VE GOT MR SHASHI KO AND MR PATRICK RAWS HERE THIS EVENING

[01:00:02]

UH, GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DR NIVENS LCASD COMMUNITY PERSON APOLOGIZE. I'VE BEEN THE ONE COUGHING, BUT IT'S NOT CONTAGIOUS. IT'S ALL ALLERGIES. UM, SORRY ABOUT THAT. UM SO THE COMMITTEE MET OVER TWO MEETINGS. WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS. I WANT TO COMMEND THE COMMITTEE FOR OR THE DISTRICT FOR GIVING US SO MUCH DATA. WE ALSO ASKED FOR SOME OTHER DATA AND THE DATA THAT WE FOUND TO BE THE MOST COMPELLING IS WE ASKED FOR PERCENTAGE OF BUILDING USAGE BASED ON EACH ZONE, AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE PERCENTAGE BASED ON EACH, UH EACH OPTION UM, WE FOUND SOME REALLY COMPELLING WAYS TO LOOK AT REZONING. SO, UH, TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ALL OF THE OPTIONS OPTION. ONE WAS, UM NOT CONSIDERED, OR WAS CONSIDERED. HOWEVER IT WAS NOT THE NUMBER ONE OPTION BASED ON THE COMMITTEE. WE FOUND THAT WHILE IT WAS RELIEVING SERRE HIGH SCHOOL, IT WOULD NOT RUN FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL AT AN OPTIMAL ENROLLMENT RUNNING FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL AFTER THE BUILDING HAS BEEN ADDED, OR 500 SEATS HAVE BEEN ADDED AND RUNNING THE BUILDING WITH 74% CAPACITY. IN OUR OPINION IS NOT A GOOD USE OF BUILDING CAPACITY. UM OPTION THREE WAS CONSIDERED. HOWEVER THERE WAS A NUMBER OF PARENTS WHO VOICED THEIR CONCERN ABOUT STUDENTS DRIVING FROM CROSS CREEK RANCH TO GO TO THE NEW SECONDARY COMPLEX WHEN THE PROXIMITY TOWARDS OR TO F WAS RIGHT THERE. THEY CITED CONCERNS WITH CONSTRUCTION AT 1093 AND JUST TRAFFIC IN THE MORNING. UM AS A RESULT, OPTION TWO WAS VOTED ON AS BEING THE NUMBER ONE OPTION. UH, WE FOUND THAT THAT WAS THE OPTION THAT UTILIZED CAMPUS ENROLLMENT OR MINIMIZED ENROLLMENT AT FULLS AND MAXIMIZED ENROLLMENT AT FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL TO ALLOW FOR A BETTER CAPACITY USAGE. YEAH, FIRST OFF, UH, GOOD EVENING BOARD OF TRUSTEE. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND REPRESENTING ALL THE PARENTS. UM I THINK THE TWO DAYS EXERCISE WHICH ALL ABC COMMITTEE AND PARENTS WENT THROUGH WAS PRETTY DETAILED. UH, I DO APPRECIATE THE OPTION WHERE FIRST SURVEYS WERE SENT. PARENTS WERE HEARD AND THEN THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM SCHOOL GOT TOGETHER. I THINK TWO THINGS CAME OUT VERY CLEARLY, PARENTS HAD INTENTION TO SOLVE THE CAPACITY PROBLEM AT SAME TIME. I THINK MOST OF THE PARENTS OR PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITIES ARE KEPT TOGETHER, RIGHT. UM, I, I HAVE MY OWN OPINION. WHY? SURVEY SAID OPTION ONE BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE WERE EMOTIONAL ABOUT SAYING, HEY, LET'S KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER. WHEN WE GOT TOGETHER. IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THAT WE GOT TO SOLVE THE CAPACITY PROBLEM AS WELL. WHILE OPTION ONE DIDN'T CLEARLY SOLVE THE CAPACITY PROBLEM. OPTION TWO AND THREE COULD HAVE TO AN EXTENT. BUT I THINK OPTION THREE GOES VERY WORST ON BREAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE OPTION THREE BECAME LEAST FAVORABLE AND OPTION TWO WAS PROBABLY A GREAT SETTLEMENT BETWEEN SOLVING BOTH THE ISSUES AND IT WAS VERY EVIDENT WHEN WE HAD A BOAT. ONE RESULT WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AGAIN AND SHARE OUR VIEWS. THERE WERE PEOPLE INFLUENCING AND HOW THE BOATS CHANGE EVENTUALLY, THAT'S EVIDENT AND WHY IT HAPPENED. RIGHT SO I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND ONE HUMBLE REQUEST PROBABLY FROM ABC COMMITTEE, AND, UH PARENTS WOULD APPRECIATE IT WOULD LISTEN TO THE PARENTS LISTEN TO THE COMMITTEE AND I THINK, CONSIDER THE OPTION RECOMMENDED OUT HERE. THANK YOU. YOU, GENTLEMEN. OK SO TRUSTEES THIS EVENING. THIS IS A FUTURE ACTION ITEM. SO NO ACTION IS REQUESTED OF YOU ALL TONIGHT. THE COMMITTEE ALSO HEARD INFORMATION REGARDING OUR LEGACY PROVISION. AND SO AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS NOW REZONING WILL BE OPTIONAL FOR THE THAT INCOMING SENIOR CLASS. THAT'S THE CLASS OF 2026. THOSE STUDENTS ARE OUR CURRENT SOPHOMORES. UM WHEN WE IMPLEMENT THE LEGACY PROVISION FOR THE NEW SECRETARY, COMPLEX SIBLINGS ARE NOT INCLUDED, AND TRANSPORTATION WILL NOT BE PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO ARE STAYING AT THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS TRUSTEE. YOU ALL MADE THE DECISION ABOUT HOW TO, UM, HOW MANY GRADE LEVELS WILL OPEN THE CAMPUS. WE TALKED ABOUT A UIL PROVISION. YOU'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT LATER THIS EVENING, UM FROM MY COLLEAGUES, UM, IN TERMS OF SENIORS, LETTING US KNOW WHICH CAMPUS THEY WANT TO ATTEND THAT YEAR. UM WE'RE GONNA COMMUNICATE THAT THEY NEED TO LET US KNOW BY OCTOBER OCTOBER 4TH I BELIEVE IS A DEADLINE AND THEN WE'LL CHECK EVERYTHING VERIFY. AND THEN WE'LL LET FAMILIES KNOW BY NOVEMBER WHETHER OR NOT UM THERE'S THEY MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE LEGACY. AND WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE NEED IN ORDER TO HAVE A SENIOR CLASS AT THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL. UM TRUSTY IS WHEN YOU DO, THOUGH. MAKE YOUR DECISION NEXT MONTH. WE WILL UPDATE THE ZONING PAGES

[01:05:02]

[01:10:03]

[11.A. Consider approval of instructional materials recommendations ]

SO THIS IS GONNA BE, UM 11 A AND B TOGETHER. NO. FIRST MOTION. OH, SO WE DO HAVE TO DO THAT ONE. OK, LET ME GO BACK HERE. UM I HAVE A MOTION FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS RECOMMENDATION BY THE DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ADOPTION COMMITTEE FOR USE IN K 12 SCIENCE OR CTE CLASSROOMS IN LAMAR CISD. MR HUB MAKES THE MOTION DO I HAVE A SECOND? OK? UM I NOW CALL FOR THE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OK, A POST NONE. MOTION CARRIES. AND THEN

[11.B. Consider approval of instructional materials allotment and TEKS certification]

[11.C. Consider approval of 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]

[01:15:03]

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT CAPACITY AT JACKSON. IF THE REST OF OPTION FOUR IS CONSIDERED. THAT IS CORRECT. IS IT OVER BY A LOT, OR IS IT PEEKING AT THE I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND RUN THE NUMBERS TO GIVE YOU AN ACTUAL NUMBER, BUT I BELIEVE WHEN WE RAN IT, IT WAS EITHER AT OR IT'S SOMEWHERE RIGHT AT CAPACITY OF THE CURRENT BUILDING WITH NO GROWTH. ALLOWED. NO GROWTH. CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS SHOW UP ABOUT THAT. BUT WE'VE HAD A FEW AND THEN I'VE GOTTEN SOME EMAILS ABOUT IT AS WELL. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'VE WE'VE TRIPLE CHECKED EVERYTHING EVERY POSSIBILITY. IN THE DECISION WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE HERE. IS ANYBODY ELSE IN THE BOARD CONCERNED? ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE, AN OPTION FOR WERE YOU AT THAT ABC MEETING THE ABC. DID YOU GO TO THESE ONES? YES I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER THE FIRST ONE.

EXCUSE ME. I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER. WE THEY TRIED EVERY SINGLE OPTION TO TRY TO KEEP RIVERSIDE TERRACE AT JACKSON AND JUST AT THE END OF THE DAY, COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. YES THE PROBLEM IS, AS WE START TO GRAB ALL THE KINGDOM HEIGHTS AND WE SHIFTED IT DOWN. WE NEEDED TO MOVE THOSE STUDENTS OUT OF JACKSON. AND THEN TRAVIS AGAIN WAS ONE OF THE CAMPS THAT IT WAS UNDERUTILIZED. UM THAT BEING ON THE WEST SIDE OF 723. THAT IS A BUS ZONE ANYWAY, UM, BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. WE DON'T WANT THOSE STUDENTS WALKING ACROSS, UM 723 INTERSECTION. SO ALL WE'RE DOING IS CHANGING THE BUS ROUTES FROM THERE TO TRAVIS. MS HART. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO THE SECOND OF THE TWO ABC S, BUT I DID GO TO THE FIRST ONE, SO THAT MUST HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED MORE AT THE SECOND. I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION OR I'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE THAT, UM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, UM AND AS WELL AS A LOT OF THE PARENTS FROM JACKSON DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE NOTIFIED, BUT SO I DID ASK DOCTOR NIVENS. TO RUN KIND OF A LITTLE IN AND THERE WAS A LOT OF NOTIFICATION THAT WAS THAT WAS GIVEN TO ALL STUDENTS. YES MA'AM . UM IN ADDITION, I THINK THE PARTICULAR PARENT THAT HAD THAT SENTIMENT, UM, FELT AS IF SHE WASN'T AWARE BECAUSE SOME OF THE OTHER PARENTS HAD BEEN ATTENDING BOARD MEETINGS. AND SO SHE JUST FELT LIKE THEY HAD MORE INFORMATION. NOT NECESSARILY THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ABC. BUT JUST IN ALL THE OTHER OPTIONS, BUT YES, WE CHECK WITH THE PRINCIPAL. IT WAS SENT IN NEWSLETTERS. IT WAS SENT VIA EMAIL AND STUDENTS RECEIVE THAT PACK FLYERS AS WELL. ABOUT THE, UM, SURVEY THAT WENT OUT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE ABC RECOMMENDATION. GO WITH OPTION FOUR. CAN I PAUSE YOU REAL QUICK, AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LIGHT BEFORE WE DO THAT? SECOND OH, OK, BECAUSE THERE'S A SECOND ARE OK. DISCUSSION. SORRY. THE LIGHT. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN REACHING OUT TO ELECTED OFFICIALS TEXT DOT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM TECH DOT SO CAN YOU JUST KIND OF UPDATE EVERYONE WHERE WE'RE AT? TODAY MATTER OF FACT, I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE FORTMAN COUNTY. UH, TRAFFIC ENGINEER. UM, JUST SAYING, HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME AN UPDATE BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING TONIGHT? UM, SOME DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD IS WHEN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT WAS PUT IN. THEY HAD A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE, JUST LIKE ALL IMPACTED. UH, NEIGHBORHOODS DO, UM, ACCORDING TO HIM, THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY SAID THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT INSTALLED. UH, WHY TECH START DIDN'T REQUIRE THAT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT THAT REASONING WAS BEHIND IT. UM WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO TECH STOCK TO SAY WHEN THE PART OF THE WIDENING OF 723 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT THAT INTERSECTION AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN FULL CLARIFICATION THAT EVEN WHEN IT WIDENS THAT THERE'LL BE A LIGHT INSTALLED SO THEY HAVEN'T EVEN TEXTILE HAS NOT VERIFIED US. A LIGHT WILL BE INSTALLED THERE EVER. UM AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A TIMELINE FROM THEM. WE DO KNOW THAT THE WIDENING OF 723, ACCORDING TO TEXTILE IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED IN APRIL OF 2029. UM AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT THE WEATHER LS OR ANYTHING ELSE KIND OF DELAYS IN THAT, SO BECAUSE OF THAT, I IF YOU FIGURE EVEN IF IT IS IN THERE, IT MAY BE THREE OR FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, BEFORE, UM, THAT LIGHT WOULD GET INSTALLED. UH, FOR THE PUBLIC'S INFORMATION , I HAVE PERSONALLY SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE JON'S OFFICE REPRESENTATIVE GATES OFFICE, AND THEN TODAY I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM UH SENATOR COKER'S OFFICE ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED IN TRYING TO HOW DO WE

[01:20:03]

GOOD EVENING TRUSTEES AND, UH, DOCTOR NIVENS. WE ARE AGAIN ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF OPTION FOUR FOR THE CENTRAL LAMAR LEVELING. THIS IS THE OPTION THE ABC HAS RECOMMENDED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. OK? SO UM, OPTION FOUR GIVES THE MAXIMUM RELIEF TO FROSTS. UM OPTION FOUR ALSO HAS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DISRUPTIONS TO THE CENTRAL LAMAR DIVISION.

IT ALSO KEEPS THE NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER. OPTION FOUR. ALSO BEST ALIGNS WITH THE LEVELING OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA. UM FOR INSTANCE, BETTER ALIGNING NEIGHBORHOODS TO SCHOOLS, UM, KEEPING THE NATURAL BOUNDARIES SUCH AS NOT CROSSING OVER A RAILROAD, UM, KEEPING, UM STUDENTS. CLOSER TO SCHOOLS VERSUS DRIVING 8.6, MILES VERSUS 2.8 MILES. IT ALSO AVOIDS A NEIGHBORHOOD FROM BEING REZONED THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REZONED. A COUPLE YEARS BACK. ALSO AUSTIN IS NOWHERE NEAR CAPACITY. AND UM WE AT RIVER'S EDGE WOULD LIKE TO STAY A PART OF AUSTIN TO HELP IT NOT BE FURTHER UNDERUTILIZED. UM WE ALSO JUST HEARD THE COMMENTS. WE WERE IN THE CENTRAL LAMAR ABC AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF RIVERSIDE TERRACE WOULD BE MOVED IN EVERY MAP THAT WAS PROVIDED FOR US. UM, BUT WE DID GO OVER THAT, UM, IN DETAIL AT THAT MEETING, IT WAS ABOUT 61 STUDENTS. 61 STUDENTS FROM THAT SCHOOL. UM, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE RELOCATED TO THE SCHOOL. OUT OF JACKSON TO THE SCHOOL CLOSER BACK. AND I THINK THAT'S ALRIGHT. OK? THANK YOU. OK SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. MHM. UM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. UH, A POST.

[01:25:07]

[12.A. Report on Board Member Training]

[12.B. Tomas High School Legacy Exemption Application ]

IT'S A LOT SMALLER NUMBER THAN A TEAM SPORT. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS IF YOU HAVE A CROSS COUNTRY STUDENT ATHLETE THAT PARTICIPATES AT THE VARSITY LEVEL IN THE DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY MEET, THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS EXEMPTION. A R EU IL ACTIVITY EXEMPTION FOR

[01:30:05]

THERE WAS REASONS FOR SOME OF THE CHANGE THE APPLICATION STANDARDS HAVE BEEN ENHANCED, AND THOSE ARE ENHANCED TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE HYPER GROWTH AND MAXIMIZE THE OPENING OF THOMAS BUT ALSO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE OF BOTH FOSTER AND FULL SCHER. WE'VE EXCLUDED THE SIBLING TRANSFER EXEMPTION TO ALIGN WITH THE FIFTH GRADE POLICY AND THE JUNIOR NON U L PARTICIPANT FAST POLICY, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SOPHOMORE FOSTER BAND STUDENT THAT HAD EARNED SIX POINTS PER THE SECONDARY STUDENT HANDBOOK, THEY COULD UTILIZE THE BAND EXEMPTION TO REMAIN AT FOSTER WHILE THEIR FRESHMAN SIBLING WHO IS NOT A VARSITY PARTICIPANT WOULD BE REZONED TO THE APPROPRIATE ATTENDANT ZONE. FOR THE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS. PARENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT ONLINE AS WELL AS INCLUDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE FOR THE LEGACY TRANSFER. ONCE GRANTED, THE STUDENT IS CONSIDERED A TRANSFER STUDENT. THEY WILL FALL UNDER THOSE GUIDELINES IN THE BOARD POLICY. IF THE STUDENTS GRADES, ATTENDANCE OR DISCIPLINE BECOME AN ISSUE, THE EXEMPTION COULD BE REVOKED THE EXCLUDED SIBLING TRANSFER ALIGNED WITH THE FIFTH GRADE POLICIES WELL, AND IT ALLOWS FOR THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL TO YOU LAST THOMAS FOR RELIEF. THE TRANSPORTATION TO REMAIN AT THE CAMPUS MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE FAMILY. THE TIMELINE FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO APPLICATION PROCESSES BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT TIMELINE WORKS WITH YOU. L IT'S THE FIRST APPLICATION WILL OCCUR AROUND FEBRUARY. IT WILL INCLUDE THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE BOTH NEXT YEAR AS FAR AS SCHOOL UP UNTIL FEBRUARY. AND THEN THAT WILL LEAD THROUGH THE WINTER EVENTS. THE SECOND APPLICATION WOULD BE FEBRUARY THROUGH SPRING. IT WOULD BE LATER IN THE SPRING TOUR REQUIRE THOSE LATE U L AND ACADEMICS AND BOTH BASEBALL SOFTBALL THINGS LIKE THAT END UP IN THE SPRING THAT WILL BE OCCURRING IT QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION. COME JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION OR SO OF A PARENT TAKES THE TIME AND DOES ALL THE WORK AND IT GETS DENIED. IS THERE A WAY FOR THEM TO APPEAL OR IS IT? EVERYTHING'S FINAL. YES, MA'AM. THERE WILL BE AN APPEAL PROCESS STILL GO THROUGH A GRIEVANCE PROCESS. OKAY, SO THANK YOU. BUT THAT THAT THAT APPEAL WON'T MAKE IT TO THE BOARD LEVEL SO THAT THAT THAT WILL STOP AT THE DESK OF THE PERFORMING ARTS DIRECTOR OR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THANK YOU. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS GOING. YES, YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT NEXT TRUSTEES, WE
