THIS IS A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING BEING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024.WE HAVE A QUORUM WITH ALL MEMBERS PRESENT.
AT THIS TIME, WE WILL HAVE REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THE FUTURE ACTION ITEMS.
[3. FUTURE ACTION ITEMS]
DOCTOR NIMITZ. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I HAVE DOCTOR WAITZ COMING TO THE PODIUM.DOCTOR EVANS. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF REVISIONS TO INNOVATION.
NUMBER ONE, TEACHER CERTIFICATION OF THE LAMAR ISD INNOVATION DOI PLAN REGARDING PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING KICK START KITS. SO HERE'S A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE WHEN IT COMES TO KICK START AND THE DOI PROCESS.
REMEMBER, WE VOTED TO APPROVE KICK START FOR THE 20 2223 SCHOOL YEAR AND UP TO 200 PARTICIPANTS CAN HAPPEN PER CAMPUS, AND KICKSTART KIDS DELIVERS A HIGH QUALITY MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION PROMOTING COMMUNITY AND OTHER CHARACTER TRAITS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
REMEMBER THAT FOR SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS RIGHT NOW, KICKSTART IS ONLY AN ELECTIVE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MEETING THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE KICKSTART INSTRUCTOR TO BE CERTIFIED. HERE'S THEIR ENROLLMENT IN LCISD.
AND WE ARE SHORT 76 STUDENTS FROM LAST YEAR, AND OUT OF THE FOUR CAMPUSES, LAMAR JUNIOR HIGH HAS BEEN ADDED FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND WE ARE AT 76 STUDENTS LESS THAN LAST YEAR.
SO HERE'S THE DOHA AMENDMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS.
AND THE RESULTS ARE IN AND 71 OF THE DSSC MEMBERS VOTED FOR REVISIONS TO BE MADE TO THE INNOVATION NUMBER ONE TEACHER CERTIFICATION PHYSICAL EDUCATION, FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING KICK START KIDS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THE RECOMMENDED DOI AMENDMENT AND THEN POST FOR UP TO 30 DAYS.
SO THE FIRST EDIT OF THE PAGE OF PAGE TWO OF THE DOI PLAN IS IN RED.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE NOTING THE AMENDMENT TIMING.
AND THE SECOND EDIT OF PAGE SIX.
IN THE MIDDLE WILL BE THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION ADDED TO INNOVATION ONE.
INNOVATION ONE WILL STATE TEACHER CERTIFICATION OF THE LAMAR ISD INNOVATION PLAN WAS AMENDED BY THE DSIC ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2024 AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON OCTOBER 15TH, 2024, AND THE SECOND EDIT WILL BE INCLUDED IN INNOVATION NUMBER ONE PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING KICKSTART KIDS.
DOCTOR WEEKS, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE SAYING FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING.
YES, SIR. BECAUSE IF WE JUST ALLOW PHYSICAL EDUCATION, JUST TALKING ABOUT P.E.
TEACHERS. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ONLY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS.
I VOTED TO SAY FOR THAT SOLE PURPOSE ONLY.
THIS IS WHY WE'RE MAKING THAT AMENDMENT.
AND THE NUMBER OF ELECTIVES TO BE AVAILABLE.
JUST TO JUST SOME QUICK RECAP.
SO AUGUST 27TH WE INITIATED THE DOI PROCESS.
SEPTEMBER 3RD, WE HAD THE DCC MEETING AND THE VOTING OCCURRED WHICH THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
SEPTEMBER 10TH, WHICH IS TODAY, WHICH IS PRESENTING THE RECOMMENDED DOI AMENDMENT.
THE TRUSTEES WILL VOTE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT.
AND HERE'S THE PROCESS WHEN IT COMES TO THE FLOWCHART FOR THE DOI PROCESS.
AND OCTOBER 15TH IS THE VOTE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT.
QUESTION AND DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME.
[00:05:05]
I'VE RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY FROM SOMEONE ASKING, CAN WE MAKE THAT A MORE BROAD TO BRING IN SOME OTHER SUBJECTS? AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT, AND WE HAVE A PROCESS ON DOING THAT.BUT RIGHT NOW THIS IS ONLY FOR KICKSTART.
AND SO IF WE WANT TO MAKE ANYTHING MORE BROAD, WE HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
AND SO IF ANYONE IS OUT THERE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN, THEN THEY CAN ALWAYS GO TO THE TEACHER, CAN GO TO THEIR DSSC REPRESENTATIVE ON THEIR CAMPUS, HAVE A CONVERSATION, ASK THE DSSC MEMBER TO BRING IT TO THE DSSC COMMITTEE, AND THEN THE CONVERSATION CAN START THAT WAY.
AND SO JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING IT NOW DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T DO IT LATER.
BUT WE HAVE A PROCESS THAT WE WANT TO FOLLOW WITH FIDELITY.
ALL RIGHT. AND SO TRUSTEE IS THE REASON WHY IT'S A FUTURE ACTION ITEM TONIGHT IS BECAUSE IT WILL BE, AS YOU HEARD DOCTOR WHITE SAY, IT'LL BE AN ACTION ITEM NEXT MONTH, NEXT MONTH TO A BOARD MEETING.
BUT WE'LL START THIS WEEK MOVING STUDENTS AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT ELECTIVES ARE AVAILABLE AND LET THE CANVASES LET THE CAMPUSES BACKFILL THOSE STUDENTS BACK INTO KICKSTART FOR THE PE REQUIREMENT LATER ON AND THEN ALSO CHOOSE ANOTHER ELECTIVE.
SO THAT'S A PROCESS WE'RE GOING TO START.
YES, SIR. AND WHEN WE MEET BACK ON OCTOBER 16TH, CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE OF HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN PLACED BACK INTO THE PROGRAM AT THAT TIME? YES, MA'AM.
ABSOLUTELY. SO WILL THIS JUST BE OFFERED TO STUDENTS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY SIGNED UP? OKAY. YES YES, YES.
THAT WAY WE CAN LIMIT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE NEW STUDENTS COMING IN.
WE MAY NOT HAVE SPACE IN OTHER ELECTIVES.
RIGHT. OKAY. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE DCIS FOR FOLLOWING THE PROCESS, BECAUSE PER TIA, WE COULD HAVE AS A BOARD JUST SIGNED IT IN RIGHT AWAY SAYING WE WANT TO MAKE THE AMENDMENT TO THE DOI PLAN.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WE COULD HAVE SAID WE WERE GOING TO DO.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND HIS TEAM AND THE DS, IT WAS LIKE, WE WANT TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS.
WE WANT TO. THIS IS WE SAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS.
WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO.
SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS DISCUSSION.
