[00:00:02]

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LAMAR CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT IS CALLED TO ORDER AT 5:30 P.M..

THIS IS A SPECIAL CALLED WORKSHOP BEING HELD ON MARCH 24TH AT 2025.

WE HAVE A QUORUM WITH SIX MEMBERS PRESENT. TRUSTEE BRUNZELL IS ABSENT.

[3.A Establishment of Mission and Vision for District's Strategic Plan]

TONIGHT. WE HAVE DOCTOR KENT SCRIBNER, WHO IS HERE WITH JD CONSULTING, WHO'S GOING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS, OUR PRIORITIES AND OUR CORE VALUES. AND THEN HE WANTS WE'RE GOING TO LEAD THE BOARD INTO A CONVERSATION ABOUT MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS.

AND SO BY THE END OF THE EVENING, WE'D LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE A FINAL MISSION AND VISION STATEMENT THAT WILL HAVE FINAL APPROVAL TO THE ENTIRE BOARD.

AT THE MAY 5TH MEETING WHEN WE APPROVED THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO, DOCTOR SCRIBNER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DOCTOR THANK YOU, BOARD, FOR FOR HAVING US BACK.

I'M VERY EAGER TO TO GET STARTED ON THIS IMPORTANT WORK.

WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS TOGETHER, AND HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS MEETING HAVE A AGREED UPON VISION STATEMENT AND MISSION STATEMENT TO GO WITH ALL OF THE OTHER WORK THAT'S THAT'S BEEN TAKING PLACE ACROSS YOUR COMMUNITY.

WITH REGARD TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE GREAT WORK THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN DOING.

SO JUST A QUICK REMINDER. I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.

I'M MY NAME IS KENT SCRIBNER, AND I SERVED AS A TEACHER AND COUNSELOR AND PRINCIPAL AND SEVERAL CENTRAL OFFICE POSITIONS, AND THEN 20 YEARS AS A SUPERINTENDENT. OVER THREE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON YOUR VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT.

SO HERE'S THE PLAN. WE WILL GO THROUGH AN INTRODUCTION BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU BRIEFLY.

IT'LL BE PAINLESS, I PROMISE. THE. THEN WE'LL DIG INTO THE THE REAL WORK, WHICH IS REVIEWING THE CORE VALUES THAT YOU ARE COMMITTEE HAS, HAS IDENTIFIED AND COME UP WITH, AS WELL AS SOME PRIORITIES.

TONIGHT, AGAIN, WE WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE VISION AND MISSION OF LAMAR CONSOLIDATED AND THEN TALK ABOUT SOME NEXT STEPS.

DOCTOR NEVES TALKED ABOUT FORMALLY APPROVING THIS PROCESS AT YOUR MAY 5TH MEETING.

MY JOB IS TO LISTEN IS TO FACILITATE AND TO HELP YOU COME TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS THE BEST FOR LAMAR CONSOLIDATED. SO TONIGHT'S OUTCOME, AS I SAID, IS A AGREED UPON VISION AND MISSION KIND OF CONTEXT, THE WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR FOR OUR ORGANIZATION, VISION AND MISSION ARE CRUCIAL FOR ANY ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE DIRECTION, PURPOSE AND A SENSE OF IDENTITY. WE MAKE, HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF DECISIONS ACROSS A DAY OR WEEK OR MONTH IN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AS YOU DO. AND THIS IS KIND OF A A NORTH STAR THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON.

SOME WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. HIGH PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS, AS I SAID EARLIER, DO A FEW THINGS WELL.

TONIGHT WE WILL WORK ON THE TOP PART OF THIS PYRAMID, THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES.

BASICALLY WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION.

THAT WORK WAS WAS COMPLETED LAST WEEK WITH THE COMMITTEE.

AND AND SONIA HELPED HELPED PUT THAT TOGETHER, AS WAS THE FOUNDATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID.

THE FOUNDATION BASED ON VALUES, YOUR CORE VALUES.

WHAT WE WILL DO TONIGHT AGAIN, VISION AND MISSION.

MOVING FORWARD, THE SUPERINTENDENT AND TEAM WILL FOCUS ON GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND ACTION PLAN WITH KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.

KPIS. HOW ARE WE MEASURING OUR SUCCESS? WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE? HOW DO WE DEFINE THAT HERE IN LAMAR CONSOLIDATED AND WE WILL WE WILL REVISIT BOTH YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND YOUR VALUES HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

IN FACT, LET'S DO THAT NOW. WHY VALUES MATTER.

AGAIN, YOU HAVE WONDERFUL PARTICIPATION ON YOUR COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO YOUR CORE VALUES OF TRUST, OF ETHICS, OF RELIABILITY, RELATIONSHIP MORALS AND ETHICS AND GOALS.

THESE MATTER BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR OUR BEHAVIOR AND DECISION MAKING.

FOSTERING POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE CULTURE AND ALIGN THE THINGS THAT WE DO AND TRUST ORGANIZATIONS.

THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL CAPACITIES, ORGANIZATIONS MOVE AT THE SPEED OF TRUST.

AND SO WE HAVE TO BUILD THAT BOTH AT THIS TABLE AND MODEL THAT FOR THE REST OF THE ORGANIZATIONS.

AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID IN MY KIND OF LEADERSHIP JOURNEY THAT TRUST REALLY HAS FOUR DIMENSIONS.

[00:05:02]

IS, IS THIS PERSON HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS? WHY ARE WHY ARE WE DOING THIS WORK? WHY ARE YOU ON THIS BOARD? THEN? WE HAVE TO TRUST COMPETENCE. DOES THIS PERSON KNOW? KNOW WHAT HE OR SHE IS DOING? ARE THEY CAPABLE OF GETTING THINGS DONE? TRUSTING DEPENDABILITY. WILL THAT PERSON BE THERE ON TIME? SHOW UP WHEN NEEDED? AND FINALLY, WE NEED TO TRUST COLLEGIALITY.

DO DO WE PLAY NICE WITH OTHERS? THAT IS SO IMPORTANT, PARTICULARLY IN THE BUSINESS OF SCHOOLING WHERE WE ARE IN THE PEOPLE BUSINESS.

SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS AREA OF OF VALUES.

AS I SAID LAST WEEK, THE FINISHING TOUCHES WERE PUT ON YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, AND I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE SLOWLY.

I PROMISE YOU WILL. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO TO TALK HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT I WANT TO WANT TO KIND OF SET THE STAGE OF WHAT WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE.

THERE ARE FIVE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES THAT THE LAMAR CONSOLIDATED ISD HAS COME, COME UP, COME ARRIVED AT.

THE FIRST PRIORITY IS ENHANCED STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND NOT ONLY ACADEMICALLY, BUT HAVE LIFE SKILLS THROUGH INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT CENTERED EXPERIENCES.

ENHANCED STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCES. PRIORITY TWO SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, SAFE LEARNING AND WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT WE ENSURE SAFETY AND BELONGING FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF BY ADDRESSING PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND MENTAL WELL-BEING.

PRIORITY NUMBER THREE THAT WE HAVE QUALITY STAFF AND SUPPORT.

LAMAR CISD ATTRACTS AND RETAINS THE BEST STAFF THROUGH COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION, COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENTS. THE LAST TWO PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED BY YOUR COMMITTEE HERE AND HERE IN OUR IN OUR COMMUNITY, OUR HOME AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. LAMAR CISD CULTIVATES LASTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT WELL-ROUNDED STUDENT DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS. AND FINALLY, THE FIFTH PRIORITY IS ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS THAT WE DRIVE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT THROUGH SERVANT LEADERSHIP, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY AT AT ALL LEVELS.

SO THOSE ARE OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED BY YOUR COMMITTEE.

VALUES ALSO WERE AGREED UPON LAST WEEK. THEY WERE FINALIZED LAST WEEK.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A GREAT PARALLEL BETWEEN THE PRIORITIES AND THE VALUES.

FIRST, VALUE THAT YOUR COMMUNITY BELIEVES THAT THAT IS IMPORTANT, THAT YOU SHOULD EXUDE AND WE AS AN ORGANIZATION SHOULD FOCUS ON.

THE FIRST IS ACCOUNTABILITY THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE ADULTS DOING THE WORK OF OF EDUCATING CHILDREN THAT WE'RE BIG THINKING, THAT WE SHINE, THAT WE'RE NOT, THAT WE'RE NOT AFRAID TO TO TO TO BE A BIG THINKER AND DON'T BE SMALL THAT WE'RE COMPASSIONATE, THAT WE CARE ABOUT OTHERS BACK TO THAT TRUST AND TRUSTING COLLEGIALITY.

THAT EXCELLENCE IS A VALUE THAT ALL STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE AT THEIR AT THE OPTIMUM, OPTIMAL GOD GIVEN TALENT, GOD GIVEN ABILITY INTEGRITY THAT THAT WE, WE ARE HAVE MORALS AND ETHICS AND WE FOLLOW A COMPASS AND JOY THAT WE LIKE BEING HERE, THAT WE LIKE EACH OTHER, THAT WE ENJOY THE WORK THAT WE DO BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

OKAY. SO NOW THE WORK FOR TONIGHT. VISION. WHAT IS VISION? VISION REPRESENTS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION ASPIRES TO BE IN THE FUTURE.

LONG TERM GOALS AND DREAMS. WE INSPIRE OUR. IT WILL INSPIRE OUR EMPLOYEES.

IT WILL ATTRACT OUR FAMILIES, ATTRACT OUR CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE A ROADMAP.

IT WILL ALIGN OUR TEAM AS WELL, BOTH INTERNAL COMMUNITY AND AND EXTERNAL COMMUNITY.

AND LET'S REMEMBER WHY IT MATTERS AGAIN. DIRECTION.

PURPOSE. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION AND REALLY ACT AS THE GUIDING STAR TO HELP US NAVIGATE THROUGH THOSE DIFFICULT MOMENTS IN THE WORK OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP. ABOUT 10%. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE BLACK AND WHITE WORLD WHERE THINGS ARE VERY, VERY CLEAR. THERE'S 10% ON EACH ON EACH END OF THE CONTINUUM.

80% OF THE DECISIONS WE MAKE ARE IN THE GRAY AREA.

AND IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE VISION STATEMENTS AND VISION BELIEFS THAT PROVIDE US THAT THAT ROADMAP.

SOME QUICK EXAMPLES BEFORE WE DIVE INTO LAMAR'S VISION WORK.

VISION STATEMENT EXAMPLES PATAGONIA, THE CLOTHING COMPANY TO BUILD THE BEST PRODUCT TO CAUSE NO UNNECESSARY HARM AND USE BUSINESS TO INSPIRE AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS.

TEACH FOR AMERICA. THEIR VISION STATEMENT IS ALL CHILDREN WE INFLUENCE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTAIN AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION,

[00:10:04]

AND THEN HARVARD. WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING AND SUSTAINING THE CONDITIONS THAT ENABLE ALL STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE AN UNPARALLELED EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY THAT IS INTELLECTUALLY, SOCIALLY, AND PERSONALLY TRANSFORMATIVE.

SO THESE ARE EXAMPLES. THESE ARE THE KINDS OF KIND OF MODEL THAT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO, TO, TO KIND OF GUIDE OUR WORK AROUND. SO THERE ARE SOME NATIONAL GLOBAL EXAMPLES, IF YOU WILL.

NOW LET'S LOOK LOCALLY. WHAT DID YOUR COMMUNITY TELL YOU? WHAT DID YOUR COMMITTEE SAY? THE THEMES THAT EMERGED IN OUR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK PROCESS BOTH SURVEY AND IN PERSON THE VISION KIND OF FOCUS AREAS THAT YOUR COMMUNITY CARED ABOUT WAS AN INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, COMMITMENT TO CUTTING EDGE AND ADAPTIVE PRACTICES, COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE AN ISLAND IN THE COMMUNITY.

LAMAR CISD REALLY WHAT OUR COMMUNITY, OUR COMMITTEE WANTED US TO EMBRACE, EMBRACE THE COMMUNITY, BALANCING EXPANSION WITH STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTION.

WE TALKED ABOUT GROWTH WITH THE NEED TO TO TO MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION.

THE THIRD AREA THAT YOUR, THAT YOUR COMMITTEE CARED ABOUT WAS EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS, AIMING HIGH FOR STUDENTS, FOR STANDARDS IN EDUCATION AND IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES, AND FINALLY EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES ENSURING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY ACROSS THE DISTRICT IN EVERY CORNER OF OUR DISTRICT.

SO THERE'S EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION. SO THIS IS WHERE YOU GET TO WORK.

WE'VE COME UP WITH SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. IN FACT, IF I MAY COULD I COULD PERHAPS WE COULD DISTRIBUTE THESE.

WE HAVE THESE QUESTIONS ON ON A SHEET OF PAPER.

WE'RE GOING TO DO FIRST VISION. AND I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

I'VE TALKED FAR TOO MUCH ALREADY. SO IT'S TIME, TIME TO TO KIND OF FACILITATE A CONVERSATION.

THIS IS HOW WE CREATE A VISION STATEMENT BY USING DESCRIPTIVE WORDS THAT PAINT A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT YOUR DISTRICT'S POSITIVE FUTURE STATE WILL LOOK LIKE AND WILL BE LIKE. SO THESE ARE QUESTIONS I'D LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOUT FOR A FEW MINUTES.

AND THEN I WILL ASK YOU TO, TO HELP ME KIND OF GET SOME IDEAS UP ON THE CHART AND BEGIN TO CRAFT WHAT MAY WHAT WILL WILL BECOME OUR VISION STATEMENT.

THE FIRST, AS YOU SEE ON THAT SHEET OF PAPER THAT WE'VE JUST JUST DISTRIBUTED WHAT DO YOU HOPE LAMAR CISD WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN 1 TO 3 YEARS? WHAT PHRASES AND KEY WORDS DESCRIBE THE TYPE OF DISTRICT AND OUTCOME YOU WANT, AND WHAT CAN YOUR DISTRICT DISTRICT REALISTICALLY ACHIEVE WITH THIS? WE WANT THIS TO BE BE A REALISTIC VISION. WHAT PROBLEM DOES YOUR DISTRICT INTEND TO SOLVE AND HOW WILL THINGS BE DIFFERENT IF YOUR VISION, IF THIS VISION IS REALIZED? SO WHY DON'T YOU KIND OF CHEW ON THAT FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN WHEN I IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE READY TO, TO TO TALK. WE'LL, WE'LL BEGIN TO TO CRAFT OUR OWN VISION STATEMENT.

SURE. ONE MORE THOUGH. YEAH, THAT'LL BE HELPFUL. SO THIS IS WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHAT YOUR COMMITTEE THESE ARE THE THEMES THAT EMERGED FROM THEIR WORK.

[00:19:30]

[00:21:28]

OKAY, WHY DON'T WE WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED? AND I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE TO KIND OF GO THROUGH EVERY QUESTION AND HAVE YOU TELL ME WHAT YOUR ANSWER WAS TO EVERY QUESTION, AS OPPOSED TO KIND OF WHAT ARE THE MAJOR THEMES THAT HAVE EMERGED ON ON YOUR SHEET OF PAPER IN THE AREAS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS, IN THE AREAS OF DESCRIPTIVE WORDS? YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT CAN WE REALISTICALLY ACHIEVE? WHAT PROBLEMS ARE WE HERE TO SOLVE? HOW WOULD THIS PLACE LOOK DIFFERENT IF IF WE ACHIEVED ALL OF THOSE ALL OF THOSE CHALLENGES.

SO WHO WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF SHARE THEIR, THEIR OVERALL THOUGHTS, KEYWORDS, IDEAS? OKAY. SO I PUT SOME KEYWORDS. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT EXCELLENCE.

SO I WAS THINKING MAYBE WE COULD TERM CERTAIN THINGS LIKE GOLD, THE GOLD STANDARD.

I MEAN, JUST JUST THINGS THAT CAME TO MY MIND REMINDS ME OF EXCELLENCE.

ALSO AND WE TALK ABOUT INNOVATION A LOT. AND SO I THOUGHT WITH INNOVATION WE COULD CALL INSTEAD OF SAYING INNOVATIVE ALL THE TIME, MAYBE WE COULD SAY DISTINCT THAT OUR DISTRICT IS DISTINCT IN CERTAIN WAYS.

AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT OR TO KNOW THAT LCISD IS THE PLACE TO BE.

SO WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT WE'RE PROUD OF WHAT'S HERE AND WHAT WE OFFER OUR STUDENTS.

AND INSOFAR AS WHAT I THINK WE HOPE TO FOR ME, TO ME, A VISION IS, IS 1 TO 3 YEARS OR EVEN LONGER THAN THAT, LIKE TEN YEARS? LIKE WHAT? WHAT THE COMMUNITY SEES OUR KIDS KNOWING AND DOING IN TEN YEARS, BEING ABLE TO DO AND HOW WE SUPPORT THAT VISION AND AND GOALS BEING MORE SPECIFIC TO THAT.

FOR NUMBER ONE, I THOUGHT OF SOME THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BECOME UP AND COMING WITH THE CTE CENTER JUST AND BEING ABLE TO SEND INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATES WHO LEAVE LCISD SKILLED AND READY TO WORK.

OR AND ALSO IN LINE WITH THAT, INCREASING THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE WITH ASSOCIATE'S DEGREES.

BECAUSE I KNOW RIGHT NOW IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT MANY STUDENTS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

AND PARDON WHAT POINT ARE YOU MAKING? KIND OF ALONG WITH THE CTE.

PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATES GRADUATING WITH ASSOCIATE'S DEGREES INCREASING.

GOT IT. WHICH KIND OF IS IN LINE WITH THE FIRST POINT THAT I WAS SAYING, BUT.

WITH CERTIFICATES OR ASSOCIATE'S DEGREES, I JUST THINK THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. I MEAN, WE HAVE OPTIONS HERE, AND THEY'RE NOT BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

SO SO I HEARD YOU SAY THIS CONCEPT OF EXCELLENCE, THE VALUE OF EXCELLENCE, GOLD STANDARD, THAT WE'RE DISTINCT. ALSO HEARD YOU SAY, AND I JUST USE THE TERM COLLEGE AND CAREER READY, READY FOR SUCCESS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. WHAT? WHAT AM I MISSING?

[00:25:01]

YES. THAT'S RIGHT. ALLITERATION. THAT'S RIGHT.

OKAY. WHO'S NEXT? DO YOU WANT TO GO? I DON'T HAVE TO MATCH, BUT, I MEAN, THE OVERALL VIEW IS THAT WE WANT OUR DISTRICT TO BE THE ONE THAT EVERYONE LOOKS TO, TO SAY WE WANT TO BE LIKE THEM.

WE WANT TO BE ON THE CUTTING EDGE. WE WANT TO ESTABLISH GOALS AND SET PURPOSES FOR LEARNING SO THAT AND WE NEVER WANT TO SETTLE.

OUR GOALS NEED TO CONTINUE TO GROW AS OUR STUDENTS GROW.

SO OUR THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN OUR DISTRICT HAVE TO CONTINUE LOOKING FOR THOSE CHALLENGING CURRICULUM SO THAT OUR TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE THE POPULATION THAT WE KEEP GETTING IN OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE OUR DISTRICT CONTINUES TO ENLARGE ITSELF. SO, YOU KNOW, WE WE NEED TO WATCH AND MAKE SURE THAT AS OUR CHILDREN ARE MOVING FORWARD, WE MOVE FORWARD AND THEN WE CHALLENGE THEM EVEN MORE.

SO WE NEED TO BE THE DISTRICT THAT CHALLENGES OUR KIDS CONTINUOUSLY.

AND WHAT YOU JUST SHARED LINES UP NICELY WITH WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK WAS WITHIN THE AREA OF EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS.

COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH. YOU SAID YOU BOTH MEMBER BOX AND AND TALKED ABOUT DISTINCTION, KIND OF A DESTINATION SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO WANT TO BE PART OF.

RIGHT? OTHERS, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST DO ONE? JUST. YEAH, JUST KIND OF. I'M TRYING TO FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AMONG YOURSELVES AS WELL.

OKAY. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS A SENIOR GRADUATING AND HAS GONE THROUGH SEVERAL YEARS IN THE DISTRICT.

I KEEP GOING BACK TO, LIKE, LOOKING AT HER HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY AND BEING WELL ROUNDED AS A PERSON LIKE MAYBE WELL ROUNDED, BUT ALSO. HAVING INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER AND BEING SERVICE MINDED.

AND I KNOW THAT WAS IN HERE A LITTLE BIT BUT ALSO INVOLVED, LIKE, I WANT ALL OUR KIDS TO FIND SOMETHING TO BE INVOLVED IN.

ENGAGED. YEAH. OPPORTUNITIES. TO HAVE A DISCONNECT.

THEY DON'T CONTINUE TO LEARN, BUT IF THEY FEEL THEY HAVE A CONNECTION, THEY MOVE FORWARD.

RIGHT. TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF BEING WELL ROUNDED, BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ETHICAL STUFF THERE TOO. WELL, SO JUST THINKING OF THE THINGS SHE'S BEEN INVOLVED, INVOLVED IN, LIKE, SHE'S YOU KNOW, WE SET THE STANDARD FOR HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

AND SHE DOES THAT. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. BUT ALSO SHE'S IN EXTRACURRICULARS CHOIR.

SO PERFORMING ARTS SHE IS IN NHS AND VOLUNTEERS A LOT WITH THAT.

SO JUST HAVING EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT THINGS BEFORE SHE GRADUATES THAT, YOU KNOW, HELP WHEN YOU'RE BECOMING AN ADULT AND YOU ARE EXPECTED TO GO TO COLLEGE AND TAKE ON THE WORLD.

HER PREPARED FOR THAT. AND THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S JOB, BUT BUT KIND OF ACADEMIC IS OUR CORE MISSION.

BUT BEYOND THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF YOUNG HUMAN BEINGS.

YEAH. WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THAT IS THAT EVEN IF YOU'RE YOU'RE AN ATHLETE OR IF YOU'RE A BOOK PERSON, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WANT TO DO, WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN BE, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE KIDS THAT COME IN HERE AND DO ALL THESE DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS I'VE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. RIGHT? SO YEAH. WELL, THIS IS THE TIME THAT KIDS NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRY ON AND FIND THEMSELVES A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BECAUSE ONCE THEY MOVE FORWARD, IT'S HARD TO DO THAT.

SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HAVE SUCH A SMORGASBORD OF OPPORTUNITIES.

RIGHT? AND I FEEL LIKE IF YOU DON'T GET INVOLVED IN SOMETHING IN HIGH SCHOOL, BY THE TIME YOU'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL, THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING INVOLVED IN COLLEGE OR WHATEVER ARE PRETTY SLIM.

I MEAN, HER, HER PHILANTHROPY WORK, I'M SURE THAT'S OPENED UP HER EYES.

YEAH. OTHERS I PUT SO IN THINKING ABOUT DISTRICT AS A WHOLE THAT THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT IT'S THAT WE SET THE CULTURE, THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED FOR US TO PRODUCE STUDENTS THAT WILL BE READY FOR THE WORKFORCE

[00:30:01]

AND THAT OUR STUDENTS, WHEN THEY LEAVE US, ARE INTENTIONAL WITH THEIR ACTIONS AND CHOICES.

THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST SITTING AND WAITING, THAT THEY'RE GETTING OUT AND DOING SOMETHING AND STEPPING OUT.

SO MORE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WAS THE HEAVY THOUGHT ON MINE OF THAT.

IT'S JUST KIND OF THE THE WAY WE DO THINGS IS THAT WE DO THINGS WITH PARTNERS.

WE DON'T DO IT BY OURSELVES, AND WE CAN'T DO IT BY OURSELVES.

OKAY. INTEREST. I THINK THE TRUST WITH THOSE FAMILIES AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT THE.

HOW WILL THINGS BE DIFFERENT IF YOUR VISION IS REALIZED? MORE PRODUCTIVE INDIVIDUALS ENTERING THE WORKFORCE.

OKAY. THAT'S THE VISION. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WE GET GETTING TOO WORDY? YEAH. VISIONS ARE SHORT VISIONS. FUTURE MISSIONS ARE RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. OTHERS. THEY'VE SAID A LOT, AND I AGREE WITH IT ALL.

AND SOME OF THOSE THEMES I HAVE DOWN MYSELF. I THINK I THINK FROM WHAT I, ME UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE LAW SAYS THAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS, I THINK OUR THRUST SHOULD BE THE HIGHEST RATES IN REGION FOUR.

AND THAT'S ALL THOSE SOME OF THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT HAPPENS.

THE OTHER THING THAT I WILL MENTION IS THAT WHAT K JUST SAID IS A DEEPER LEVEL OF TRUST EARNED, GIVEN BY THE PUBLIC AND THE CAMPUS STAFF OF THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION WITHOUT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REALLY ACHIEVABLE OR NOT IN THIS WORLD WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT I THINK THAT WE COULD GET WE COULD ENHANCE THAT AS PART OF OUR VISION THAT WE'RE A TRUSTED ORGANIZATION.

AND SOME OF THE READING THAT I'VE DONE WITH REGARD TO, TO THAT TOPIC IS THE HIGHEST PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS WITH PRIVATE SECTOR.

ANYWAY, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT WE WANT FOLKS TO TRUST US, BUT THE FIRST GROUP THAT NEEDS TO TRUST US IS NOT OUR CLIENTS.

THE FIRST GROUP THAT NEEDS TO TRUST US IS OUR OWN EMPLOYEES.

HOW DO WE BUILD THAT TRUST INTERNALLY SO THAT THEN THAT THAT KIND OF YEAH.

AND AND I KNOW IT'S EARNED. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, THAT I WOULD EXPECT THE PUBLIC OR OUR CAMPUS STAFF TO GIVE US.

RIGHT. BLINDLY BY ANY MEANS. RIGHT. AND I DON'T AND I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT IT'S SINCERE.

YEAH. YEAH. AND I THINK THAT THEY DO HAVE A GOOD LEVEL RIGHT NOW.

I'M NOT IMPLYING THAT THERE'S NONE. I'M JUST SAYING WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE WANT TO GO.

IT'S LIKE JUST THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ALWAYS BEING GIVEN TO THE BOARD.

WHOEVER'S ON THIS BOARD AND THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, I THINK IS IS A GOOD GOAL.

IT'S ABOUT HEALTH. IT'S ABOUT THE OVERALL, YOU KNOW, KIND OF ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH. THAT'S EXCELLENT. OTHER IDEAS.

THIS WOULD BE A BYPRODUCT. AND THIS IS I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA THAT DOCTOR NIVENS SPOKE A WHILE AGO, AND I WAS GOING TO STEAL IT. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S PROPER TO DO IS TO THAT WE HAVE SUCH A GOOD REPUTATION THAT WE KIND OF HAVE, LIKE A CULT FOLLOWING PEOPLE HERE ABOUT LAMAR.

THEY LIKE. OH, YEAH, THEY KIND OF THINK LIKE THAT. OH, YEAH. Y'ALL LIKE THOSE CRAZY TEXAS A&M AGGIES, YOU KNOW? AND LIKE. OH YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. THERE'S SOME CAMARADERIE THERE AMONGST OUR GRADUATES AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, LOCAL BUSINESSES AND STUFF. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A SMALL TOWN FEEL IN A BIG DISTRICT.

YEAH BUT BUT THERE'S BUT BUT BUT IN THAT WHAT I'M.

YOU'RE RIGHT. KAY. I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU. BUT THE REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE MAYBE.

RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S SO THAT'S SO TRITE. I DON'T MEAN IT TO BE TRITE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS GOOD. GOOD FOR ME FOR COMING IN FROM THE OUTSIDE. BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS ALIGNING REALLY NICELY.

WHAT YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT IS BALANCING EXPANSION WITH STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN, MAINTAIN THAT EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS INNOVATION, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

YES, SIR. AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN SHARED.

THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT WITH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT.

WITH ME. WITH MY OTHER JOB WE DON'T NECESSARILY SET GOALS.

WE SET STRETCH, STRETCH GOALS. RIGHT. SO THIS IS WHAT'S ACHIEVABLE.

BUT THIS IS WHAT OUR GOAL IS. SO REALISTICALLY, YOU MAY NOT SEE HOW CLOSE YOU CAN GET TO THE GOAL.

NOT NECESSARILY ACHIEVING THE GOAL, BECAUSE AS AS YOU IMPROVE YOUR THE GOAL LINE IS GOING TO MOVE AS WELL.

[00:35:06]

I JUST THE ONE QUESTION WHAT PROBLEM DOES YOUR DISTRICT INTEND TO SOLVE? WERE WE WORKING OFF A LIST, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT CAME TO MIND INDIVIDUALLY THAT STUCK OUT? AND I THINK THAT MISS HARTZELL KIND OF SHARED THE SAME THING I WAS GOING TO SHARE IS ESPECIALLY THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS OFFERING THEM MORE OPPORTUNITY. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN GET INVOLVED IN THAT HAVE A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY. NOT JUST WITH MAYBE GOING TO GOING STRAIGHT TO A CAREER AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, BUT YOU KIND OF MENTIONED IT AS WELL WITH THE DUAL CREDIT AND THEM ACTUALLY ENTERING COLLEGE AS A SOPHOMORE, POSSIBLY. IF NOT MORE, BUT ALSO WITH JUST THE WELL, SO MY PARTICULAR CASE, MY DAUGHTER IS EXTREMELY INVOLVED IN FFA. THE WORLD THAT FFA OFFERS HER IS KIND OF OPEN ENDED.

I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT JUST BEING ONE EXAMPLE.

I DON'T THINK NOT THAT WE DO A BAD JOB. I'M NOT SAYING THAT.

I'M JUST WHAT I'M WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THERE'S MORE THAT WE COULD OFFER THEM IN WAYS OF PARTICIPATION IN COMPETITIONS THAT OPEN UP DOORS FOR ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE KIDS, THEY WANT TO EITHER GO STRAIGHT INTO A WORKFORCE OR.

TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF EDUCATION, BUT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE MEANS.

SO BY THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THESE ACTIVITIES AND CONTESTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, IT OFFERS UP A DOOR, OPENS A DOOR FOR THEM TO RECEIVE, TO ABLE TO RECEIVE.

YEAH. THINGS LIKE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT WOULD ASSIST THEM BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.

YEAH. I WOULD SAY TO YOUR EARLIER, TO YOUR FIRST POINT ABOUT KIND OF STRETCH GOALS, LET'S NOT JUST KIND OF SET GOALS THAT ARE THAT DON'T MAKE US STRIVE TO BE BETTER. THAT IN A LARGE DISTRICT LIKE LAMAR CISD, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ALL STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT EVERY STUDENT IS STARTING THE EDUCATIONAL RACE AT THE EDUCATIONAL STARTING LINE. SO, SO FROM FROM FROM OUR FROM OUR OUR PERSPECTIVE, THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME STUDENTS WHO ARE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY.

AND YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT AT HOME AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AND OTHERS.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF INVESTMENT FROM US IN ORDER TO, TO TO MAKE THAT A REALITY.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL, ALL, ALL STUDENTS.

SO THIS IS THIS IS A VERY, VERY GOOD START. AND AND REMEMBER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MEMBER BOX FOR ASKING TO TO PUT THE THEMES BACK UP THAT YOUR COMMUNITY CAME UP WITH INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, THOSE, THOSE PROGRAMS OUTSIDE OF CORE CURRICULUM.

ALLOW US TO, TO, TO BE MORE CUTTING EDGE. COMMUNITY CENTRIC.

EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS AND EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES ENSURING ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY.

SO, SO KIND OF SOME OF THE THEMES THAT THAT THAT I, THAT I SEE, THAT I KIND OF SEE HERE ARE SO I KIND OF IN MY CHICKEN SCRATCH HERE. THIS WHOLE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE, EXCUSE ME, THIS WHOLE CONCEPT OF EXCELLENCE, THE GOLD STANDARD. EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION.

A DESTINATION DISTRICT YOUR POINT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

SO THAT TO ME THAT'S A VALUE THAT WE THAT WE THAT WE TALK ABOUT.

AND IT ALIGNS THERE. THIS IS KIND OF WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE A PRODUCTIVE PRODUCTIVE, PRODUCTIVE INDIVIDUALS COLLEGE AND CAREER WORKFORCE READY GRADUATES SOMETHING SOMETHING AROUND AROUND THE KIND OF PRACTICAL REASONS THAT WE ARE HERE. THE CONCEPT THAT PRESIDENT LAMBERT TALKED ABOUT WITH KIND OF A CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT.

AND THEN WE TALKED HERE ABOUT BOTH INTERNAL ENGAGEMENT OR INTERNAL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OUR EXTERNAL COMMUNITY.

WE TALKED ABOUT I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN KIDS TRY TRY THINGS ON.

I HEARD THAT WE ARE THERE'S RISK INVOLVED WITH TRYING THINGS ON.

AND I HEARD THE CONCEPT OF COMPASSION. ONE OF THE VALUES THAT YOUR THAT YOUR COMMITTEE CAME ON, CAME UP WITH. SO SOMETHING AROUND SAFETY, YOU KNOW, OF, OF STUDENTS, NOT ONLY THEIR PHYSICAL SAFETY BUT THEIR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SAFETY TO BE INTENTIONAL WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND EARN THEIR TRUST.

[00:40:02]

SO? SO THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THEME THEMES THAT I'M THAT I'M SEEING.

SOMETHING AROUND AROUND EXCELLENCE. SOMETHING AROUND.

WELL, ACTUALLY, I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE, YOU KNOW EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

SOMETHING AROUND WORKFORCE READY? COLLEGE AND CAREER READY.

WE WANT TO WE WANT TO HAVE THE BEST NUMBERS IN OUR IN OUR REGION.

AND THEN THIS CULTURE OF OF COMPASSION, THIS CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT.

SO THAT'S THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THE THEMES THAT I AM SEEING.

AND THEY AND THEY KIND OF LINE UP HERE. WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF YOU? WHAT WOULD WHAT WHAT AM I MISSING? REGARDING REGARDING THE WORD EXCELLENCE.

ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL EXCELLENCE. AND SO, YEAH.

AND THEN FOR WHEN I THINK ABOUT COMMUNITY I THINK ABOUT WHO OUR CUSTOMERS ARE.

OUR CUSTOMERS ARE OUR STUDENTS, OUR PARENTS, OUR TEACHERS, THE COMMUNITY, OUR TAXPAYERS, OUR CUSTOMERS.

SO I THINK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY'RE HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES AND TREATMENT THEY RECEIVE.

OKAY. AND I KIND OF PUT IN THERE THAT WE AS WE GROW, WE HAVE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES ALL THROUGHOUT THE LCISD COMMUNITY.

SO WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THE DIFFERENCES AND MEET THE NEEDS OF WHERE.

THEY FALL BECAUSE WHAT'S GOING TO BE EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY IS UNDER ONE BIG UMBRELLA.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES. CORRECT? CORRECT.

RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S I PUT THAT AS ONE OF OUR PROBLEMS TO SOLVE.

TO BE ENGAGEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES, I GUESS.

SAY THAT AGAIN. LIKE ENGAGEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES.

INSTEAD OF COMMUNITY. YEAH. LET ME PUT THIS IN HERE.

SO TAKE A LOOK. SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE EXAMPLES OF WHAT OF WHAT? SOME VISION STATEMENTS LOOK LIKE.

YOU KNOW, AN INTERESTING THING TO TO TO GO BACK TO IN ADDITION TO THAT IS AGAIN, LISTENING TO YOUR COMMUNITY.

I'M SORRY. THERE IT IS. THEIR VALUES. YOU KNOW, THE THIS IDEA OF ACCOUNTABILITY, BIG THINKING, ACCOUNTABILITY, I THINK KIND OF LINES UP WITH, WITH, WITH TO ME LINES UP WITH EXCELLENCE.

COMPASSION LINES UP WITH, A CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT.

BIG THINKING LINES UP WITH THE FACT THAT WE ARE.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE LAMAR CISD COMMUNITY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES, MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES, MULTIPLE EXPECTATIONS. BIG THINKING, BOTH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR FOR FOR ALL OF US.

SO WHO WANTS TO TAKE A CRACK AT AT WHAT KIND OF WHAT WHAT THEMES WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE IN OUR STATEMENT.

THIS IS THE BIG PICTURE. SAY IT AGAIN. VISION IS THE YEAH YEAH, YEAH.

REMEMBER, VISION IS THE BIG PICTURE VISION. VISION KIND OF REPRESENTS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION ASPIRES TO BE IN THE FUTURE. IT'S A LONG TERM GOAL OR DREAM. STRONG VISION, INSPIRES EMPLOYEES, ATTRACTS CUSTOMERS, AND PROVIDES A ROADMAP FOR GROWTH AND SUCCESS.

IT ALSO HELPS IN ALIGNING THE TEAM AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH THE OVERALL ASPIRATIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION.

SO YOU KNOW, WHERE WHO DO WE WANT TO BE? AND MISSION IS HOW WE GET THERE.

[00:45:06]

WHAT DO YOU HOPE WE WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN 1 TO 3 YEARS? RECEIVING THAT A RATING AGAIN, AND CMR IS A BIG PART OF THAT.

BUT WHAT COMES TO MY MIND IS LIKE FUTURE READY LEADERS LIKE WE WANT.

WE WANT KIDS WHO ARE READY WHEN THEY GRADUATE.

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE THAT.

YEAH. SO CULTIVATE I LIKE FUTURE READY. YOU KNOW WE'VE YOU'VE HEARD THE BY NOW IT'S CLICHE THAT THAT KIDS WHO ARE ENTERING COLLEGE ARE THIS YEAR THIS FALL ARE GOING TO BE WORKING IN JOBS THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST WITH AI.

THAT'S LIKE TIMES 20, YOU KNOW, THAT JOBS DON'T.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW WORLD IN SIX MONTHS. AND AGAIN, ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE.

SO, SO SO I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF FUTURE FUTURE READY AS OPPOSED TO TO KIND OF COLLEGE AND CAREER.

BECAUSE ALSO FROM THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PERSPECTIVE TO IT IS ARE WE PREPARING KIDS TO BE EMPLOYEES, OR ARE WE PREPARING KIDS TO BE THINKING AND AT TIMES THEY HAVE AN EMPLOYEE, OR PERHAPS NOT AS AN EMPLOYEE? THEY HAVE TO LEARN THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE RISKS, AND EVEN IF THEY FAIL, THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEARN FROM THAT.

THAT WHEN WE SET THEM UP TOO HARSHLY, THAT IF THEY MAKE A MISTAKE, IT'S ALL OVER.

THAT STOPS THEIR EDUCATION PROCESS. FAIL FORWARD.

RIGHT. SO WE NEED TO. THAT'S SO SO SO THAT IS THAT'S WHY THAT'S KIND OF TO BE ABLE TO IT'S OKAY TO TAKE A RISK.

THE CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE KIND OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET THIS INTO A COUPLE SENTENCES OR RESILIENCE.

IS WHAT I MEAN. THAT'S THE WORD I THOUGHT OF WHEN KAY WAS TALKING.

YEAH. YEAH. THE BRAZILIANS.

WHY DON'T WE JUST DO THAT? WHY DON'T WE THROW OUT? THROW OUT SOME SOME WORDS, THROW OUT SOME VOCABULARY WORDS THAT YOU THINK REPRESENT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

YOU NEED MORE WALLS AROUND YOU. YOU PUT IT AT THE BOTTOM.

YEAH. I HAVE A I HAVE A I'LL TAKE A CRACK AT IT.

WHAT'S THAT? I'LL TAKE A CRACK AT IT. OKAY, SURE.

WE STRIVE TO BE A DISTRICT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE MINDSET, WORKING TOWARDS ROBUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AS OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST CCMA RATES IN REGION FOUR.

SAY THAT AGAIN. I'M NOT GOING TO. I'M JUST GOING TO GET GET THE GET THE WORDS THERE.

SO SO SAY IT AGAIN. WE STRIVE TO BE A DISTRICT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE MINDSET, WORKING TOWARD ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND ROBUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AS OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST C.C.M R SCORES. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

CUSTOMER. YEAH, I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR OTHER CHART THERE.

YEAH. AND YOU HAD ANOTHER ANOTHER CONCEPT, ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, CUSTOMER SERVICE.

AND THERE WAS ROBUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

NOT JUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. ROBUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. YES, THROW IN SOME ADJECTIVES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE UP OUR OUR WORLD HERE.

WHAT OTHER CONCEPTS DO WE CARE ABOUT? I THINK FOR ME, SOMETHING WE CARE ABOUT OR I CARE ABOUT PERSONALLY IS WHO MAKES UP OUR COMMUNITY. AND THE CAC IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF. AND I DON'T KNOW OF A GENERAL WORD TO SAY.

THE OVERARCHING COMMUNITY, THE TAXPAYERS. WHAT A PRETTY WORD WOULD BE FOR THAT THAT WE'RE HERE WITH LIKE A COMMON GOAL.

[00:50:08]

SURE. SURE. SO KIND OF INTERNAL COMMUNITY. EXTERNAL COMMUNITY.

EXTERNAL COMMUNITY IN THE BROADEST SENSE. STAKEHOLDERS.

STAKEHOLDERS CAN BE. I'M A STAKEHOLDER BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH HERE, I WANT TO KNOW THAT THE KIDS ARE GOING TO STOP AT THE RED LIGHTS.

RIGHT. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I MEAN, RIGHT. EVERY A A FUNCTIONING AND AND THE ADULTS WILL STOP AT THE RED LIGHTS, TOO. A FUNCTIONING KIND OF KIND OF SOCIETY. DO WE HAVE A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL EXCELLENCE? OKAY. LIKE COMMON GOAL THAT LIKE THIS IS ALL THESE MEMBERS MAKE UP THIS ONE COMMON GOAL.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT. THAT I LIKE THE FUTURE.

WOULD YOU SAY FUTURE? READY? COMMON. SO I MEAN TO BE FUTURE READY.

I MEAN, OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO HAVE DIPLOMAS. OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GO ON TO WHETHER THEY GO ON TO SOME HIGHER ED, OR THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE US WITH A TO GET THE CHEMICALS, THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE WITH THESE CERTIFICATIONS.

WITH OUR NEW CTE CENTER OPENING UP, THAT'S A THERE WILL BE SOME INVESTMENT.

YEAH. AND TIA MAY CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE IN TWO YEARS.

SO TO SAY CMR YOU KNOW RIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT IS EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING.

YEAH. AND I THINK WHEN WE GO IN THERE AND WE'LL DO IT RIGHT IT YOU KIND OF WRITE THINGS IN COMMUNITY LIKE COMMUNICATIONS TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.

SO MAYBE NOT ANOTHER BETTER WAY OF PUTTING CMR OR SOMETHING WHERE IT'S NOT THE AVERAGE PERSON IS NOT GOING TO RECOGNIZE, YOU KNOW, FUTURE READY BEGINS TO GET AT IT. YOU KNOW, COLLEGE CAREER WORKFORCE SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING AROUND THERE.

SO SO SO SO FAR WE HAVE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, THIS CONCEPT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMMUNITY AND THAT OUR THAT OUR PRODUCT, OUR GRADUATES ARE FUTURE READY. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT BEING A DESTINATION DISTRICT, A PLACE TO BE.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT. I THINK WE HAVE THAT MAYBE THAT MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT HERE.

WELL-ROUNDED STUDENTS. YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

I THINK LIKE, THE NOT NOT EVEN THIS A FUTURE READY.

BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE A CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW TO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS.

THE OTHER NIGHT, WE HAD A YOUNG LADY COME SPEAK TO THE BOARD.

AND SO SHE HAD THAT CONFIDENCE AND THE ABILITY TO COME SPEAK TO US IN THE MOMENT WHILE SHE'S A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SO OR MAYBE US CREATING ENVIRONMENTS WHERE STUDENTS CAN LEAD OUT WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, WHETHER THEY'RE IN KINDERGARTEN OR 12TH GRADE.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT? YES. YES. CAN A LITTLE JUST SOMETHING.

WHEN WE WERE AT A TASB CONFERENCE, WE JOHN AND I WENT TO A SOMEONE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT ABOUT DOING YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE PROCESS AND EVERYTHING. AND THEY TALKED ABOUT DOING A PROFILE OF SUCCESS.

SO WHILE YOU HAVE YOUR MISSION STATEMENT, YOUR VISION IS MORE OF A LIKE A PROFILE OF SUCCESS.

WHAT DOES OUR DISTRICT THINK IS SUCCESSFUL? SO WE'RE THROWING OUT, LIKE, A MILLION DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN WE COULD ACTUALLY PUT OUR VISION INTO A PROFILE OF SUCCESS, LIKE WHAT A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE LOOKS LIKE, WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL IT.

AND THEN WE HAVE ACADEMICALLY WHAT WE EXPECT SOCIALLY, WHAT WE EXPECT.

YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. LIKE BASICALLY IT'S A BRAND AND A PROMISE, A VISION, SO TO SPEAK. BUT IT'S IN LIKE THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE FORM INSTEAD OF LIKE ONE STATEMENT.

AND THEN WE HAVE A SEPARATE MISSION STATEMENT TO WRITE.

AND I AND I THINK I AGREE WITH THAT, THAT, THAT THAT'S ONE WAY, CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY ONE WAY OF DOING IT.

AND, AND I THINK THOUGH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PROFILE, THE ACADEMIC PROFILE, I SEE THAT FOLLOWING, YOU KNOW, WE WANT OUR STUDENTS. SOMETHING. ABOUT WHAT? OUR STUDENTS. SO THIS TO ME TALKS ABOUT THE STUDENTS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THIS KIND OF IDEA OF ENGAGEMENT TO ME TALKS ABOUT THE ADULTS, BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AS WELL AS STUDENTS.

TELL ME, TELL ME AGAIN THE CATEGORIES, THE PROFILE OF SUCCESS.

WELL, IT CAN BE ANY CATEGORIES THAT YOU WANT IT TO BE. RIGHT.

THE ONE THE EXAMPLE THEY GAVE IT SAYS THEY HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT ACADEMICS AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, FIVE SPECIFIC TOPICS THEY REALLY JUST TALK ABOUT, OKAY, WHAT DO WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO DO WHEN THEY LEAVE SCHOOL.

AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THEY SAID. ONE WAS ACADEMICALLY THINKING ONE WAS SOLUTIONS ORIENTED,

[00:55:03]

SO THEY HAVE THE PORTRAIT AND THEN THEY ELABORATE ON EACH ONE OF THOSE TOPICS.

AND THEN THEY HAVE THE MISSION OF LCISD, WHICH WOULD BE TO ME, SEEMS LIKE REALLY A LITTLE BIT MORE ELABORATE IN THE SENSE OF WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

WHAT IS OUR MISSION? WHAT IS OUR. I GUESS IT'S TO ME, I THINK MISSION AND VISION I THINK IS KIND OF LIKE THE SAME.

YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK MISSION IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE. THE VISION IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

SO, SO SO I'M HEARING ON THE VISION CONVERSATION IS, IS WE WANT WE WANT TO HAVE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE READY FOR THE FUTURE.

AND, AND WE WANT OUR EMPLOYEES. THERE ARE SOME SOMETHING AROUND TRUST.

EARN TRUST. SOMETHING AROUND HEALTHY CULTURE.

SOMETHING AROUND IDENTIFYING OUR STAKEHOLDERS, OUR TAXPAYERS, OUR PARENTS, OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

IN THIS KIND OF CUSTOMER PARADIGM, BECAUSE WE ARE SERVING THEM.

BUT WHO WHO IS OUR REAL, OUR REAL CUSTOMER. OUR REAL CUSTOMER WOULD BE THE CUSTOMER IS EVERYBODY.

I MEAN, IN MY VIEW, IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, I MEAN, IT'S IT'S IT'S EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE KIDS, IT'S THE PARENTS. IT'S THE IT'S THE I AGREE, I AGREE, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE BOARD IS HERE TO SERVE THE STUDENTS, WHICH IS WHAT I MEAN.

WE SERVE THE TAXPAYERS. WE SERVE THE NEIGHBORS.

WE SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE NEXT DOOR TO US.

OUR WHOLE EXISTENCE IS STUDENT OUTCOMES, IS ALL I'M SAYING, RIGHT? WHICH IS STUDENT BASED. EVERYBODY. WELL, I DON'T MEAN IGNORE EVERYBODY ELSE.

AND I'M SAYING OUR MAIN CUSTOMER IS OUR STUDENTS.

THAT'S WHY WE EXIST, RIGHT? RIGHT. AND ANYWAY.

RIGHT. AND I MEAN, THE STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE COME BACK AND LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND WORK IN OUR COMMUNITIES, WE HOPE. I MEAN, SOME OF THEM WILL. A LOT OF THEM WILL.

YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE BIGGEST EMPLOYER IN TOWN AND THERE'S AN EXPECTATION THAT WE ARE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY.

RIGHT. THAT WE. SO THERE'S A CONCEPT OF EXCELLENCE.

THERE'S A CONCEPT OF OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. THERE'S A CONCEPT OF EFFICIENCY.

YOU KNOW THOSE THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE BIG VALUES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. CHOICE WHERE WHERE WHERE WE ARE.

OUR OUR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS CHOOSE US. IN SOME SYSTEMS, THE THE THE SCHOOLS WANT TO CHOOSE THE KIDS WHO REALLY WANT THE KIDS TO CHOOSE THE SCHOOLS. I ALWAYS THINK OF VISION STATEMENT AS MORE OF OUR WISH LIST.

WHAT WE WISH. IT'S IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASILY ATTAINABLE.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH HOW WE CAN TRY TO MEET OUR WISH LIST.

AND A SIDE NOTE THOUGH, FOR EVERYONE WATCHING ALL DOZENS OF THEM.

RIGHT NOW OUR DISTRICT DOES NOT HAVE A VISION STATEMENT, SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE ONE. SO THE MISSION, WE HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT, BUT WE WILL.

YEAH. WE'RE CREATING THE VISION AS WE GO. SURE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH RIGHT NOW.

AND THOSE ARE THAT THAT THOSE ARE WISH LISTS THERE TOO.

WE STRIVE TO CREATE LOCAL OPPORTUNITY, GROWTH, IMPACT IN EVERY COUNTRY ACROSS THE WORLD, SAYS MICROSOFT.

TEACH FOR AMERICA. ALL CHILDREN WE INFLUENCE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTAIN AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION, AND NONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND THOSE KINDS OF THOUGHTS.

SO WE HAD WE HAD ONE, ONE, ONE ATTEMPT AT THE GET US STARTED.

WE STRIVE TO WAS KIND OF KIND OF HOW YOU FRAMED IT, RIGHT? IT WAS SO GOOD. I CAN'T REPEAT IT. IT WAS ONE AND DONE.

THAT'S IT. OTHERS. OTHERS. WELL, MAYBE TO TACK ON. SO JOHN SAID CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ROBUST COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

BUT MAYBE THAT'S JUST A COMMUNITY CENTERED MINDSET.

SO WE COULD SHORTEN ONE THING. UP. AND THEN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE THE VALUES THAT THE COMMITTEE CAME UP WITH OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND BIG THINKING, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY AND JOY. ARE WE WANTING TO PUT THOSE INTO THE VISION STATEMENT AT ALL? WE DON'T HAVE TO. WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT PUT THOSE WORDS IN THERE.

BUT I YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE WELL, I MEAN, IT COULD BE JUST A SIMPLE SENTENCE SUCH AS WE STRIVE TO INSTILL THE CORE VALUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY, BIG THINKING, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY AND JOY, EQUIPPING THEM FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS.

DO WE NOT WANT TO ELABORATE ON THAT? WELL, YOUR VISION, YOUR VISION IS YOUR BIG DREAM.

LIKE YOU ELABORATE IN HOW YOU DO IT IN THE MISSION.

AND I CAME UP WITH THE FIRST SENTENCE, BUT I DON'T LIKE THE WHOLE THING, BUT OUR VISION IS TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BE FUTURE READY WITH CONFIDENCE,

[01:00:07]

OKAY. HANG ON. I DON'T KNOW THAT I LOVE THAT, BUT SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A START.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD START. SO SO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BE FUTURE READY.

OKAY. WITH CONFIDENCE CRITICAL THINKING. I THINK THE CRITICAL THINKING IS THE ONE I DON'T LIKE.

THAT'S WHAT I SAY. AND A COMMUNITY CENTERED MINDSET EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BE FUTURE READY WITH CONFIDENCE.

CRITICAL THINKING. WHAT IF WE DO? WHAT IF WE TAKE OUT CRITICAL THINKING, SAY PROBLEM SOLVERS WITH CONFIDENCE? WELL, YOU'D HAVE TO CHANGE THE TENSE SOMEHOW OR OR TO BE CONFIDENT.

PROBLEM SOLVERS, PROBLEM SOLVERS. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH A COMMUNITY CENTERED MINDSET.

WE ALL WERE. WE WERE TRYING TO COMBINE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

THIS IS HARD. YEAH, THIS IS HARD. SO SO I WE HAVEN'T DEALT WITH THE EXCELLENT STUFF YET.

I DON'T THINK IN THERE. LET'S GO BACK TO THE LET'S GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT YOUR COMMUNITY TOLD YOU THEY CARED ABOUT RIGHT THERE.

SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS THIS IS A GOOD ONE. SO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BE CONFIDENT PROBLEM SOLVERS.

SOMETHING AROUND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND SOMETHING READY FOR THE FUTURE.

FUTURE. READY. AND THEN SOMETHING AROUND THIS COMMUNITY CENTERED.

I'M NOT SURE. MINDSET IS IS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING.

I HAVE SO IF WE CONCLUDE THAT LAMAR CISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING STUDENTS TO BE. SO I THINK THAT COMMON GOAL, LIKE YOU TAKE THAT COMMUNITY WITH A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING THAT RIGHT THERE. STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

OKAY. WERE YOU WARM ENOUGH HERE? THAT ARE HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES AND TREATMENT? OKAY, WELL, I KNOW THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT SO. SO BEFORE I START WRITING.

YEAH, KIND OF SAY WHAT YOU SAID AGAIN, LAMAR CISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

MAYBE WE JUST SAY IS A LAMAR CSC IS A COMMUNITY.

LAMAR CIC IS A COMMUNITY. AND WHAT IS OUR VISION? NOT NOT NOT WHO ARE WE? I MEAN, IT'S YOUR IT'S YOUR STATEMENT, BUT BUT I MEAN, I'M I DON'T SEE WHERE IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, MICROSOFT STRIVES TO. OH, MAYBE WE COULD.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE HAVE A MISSION, TOO. YEAH, RIGHT.

YEAH, RIGHT. WHAT WE WANT TO DO. SO THE VISION IS USUALLY.

AND ALL THE, THE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS I'VE LED AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU STATE YOUR BIG PICTURE, OVERARCHING GOAL OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. AND SO TO STATE YOUR OVERARCHING GOAL OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, YOU HAVE TO SAY WHO YOU ARE. GOOD. I LIKE IT.

AND SO TYPICALLY THAT'S HOW THAT SOME OF THAT WILL ROLL OUT.

OKAY. SO YOU GOT TO BECAUSE YOUR VISION IS LIKE THAT'S YOUR BIG THAT'S YOUR NORTH STAR.

BUT YOUR NORTH STAR IS TYPICALLY ONLY FOUR WORDS ALSO.

RIGHT. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE VISION MISSION AND THEN FIGURE OUT OUR NORTH STAR AFTER THAT.

SO LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF AND THIS IS JUST WHAT I HAVE.

YEAH. GOOD COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF THAT.

COMMON GOAL OF WHAT? EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO BE FUTURE READY.

CONFIDENT. PROBLEM SOLVERS. AND AN ACADEMIC IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

[01:05:03]

WE JUST WRITE COMMUNITY FOR NOW FOR EDIT SINCE HE'S WRITING.

YEAH. I'LL DO JUST THE JUST THE FIRST LETTER.

STUDENTS. WHAT STAFF, STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING OR YOU COULD DO PRODUCING OR EMPOWERING. YOU HAVE EMPOWER AND VISIONS.

I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE THOSE ACTIONS ABOUT EMPOWERMENT IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS. THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT IS, THOUGH. YEAH.

I'M SORRY. LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING CONFIDENT, PROBLEM SOLVING. FUTURE. READY.

LEADERS? I DON'T KNOW WITH WITHIN THE. ARE YOU GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE? COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING STUDENTS OR PRODUCING FUTURE READY LIKE THE FUTURE READY LEADERS, I LIKE THAT. I MEAN.

OKAY WITHIN A SYSTEM OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THAT'S.

YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S STATING THAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE THAT WE ARE THAT'S THAT'S A NON-NEGOTIABLE, THAT. SO THAT'S NOT SAYING WE AIM TO HAVE THAT.

WE'RE SAYING WE WE HAVE THAT THAT WE BELIEVE THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO DO FUTURE READY LEADERS OR FUTURE READY CITIZENS OR SOMETHING, I WORRY ABOUT USING THE WORD LEADERS BECAUSE NOT EVERY SO PART OF NO, NO, BUT WE THAT SHOULD BE A GOAL. AND SO ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT THERE WAS BIG THINKING.

AND SO WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO THINK BIG. WE WANT OUR STAFF TO THINK BIG.

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS PEOPLE TO. SO, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE FOR THE NEXT MAYORS, CONGRESSMEN, SENATORS, BUSINESS CEOS TO COME FROM LCISD. SO WHERE WE'RE KNOWN FOR PRODUCING THAT AND LEADERS ARE COMPETENT PROBLEM SOLVERS. THAT'S TRUE. FIRST YOU SAID SYSTEM AND THAT DOESN'T FEEL THAT DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T INSPIRE ME. AND WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THIS THIS CONCEPT OF, OF COMMUNITY THAT WE THAT THAT EMERGES OVER AND OVER AND OVER HERE. OR COULD YOU SAY OF STAFF STAKEHOLDERS CONTRIBUTING TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING. SO, SO AFTER STAKEHOLDERS, YOU PUT THE ACTION WORD OF CONTRIBUTING.

SO THAT ALL THOSE ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THAT INSTEAD OF PRODUCING, CAN WE USE SOME OTHER KIND OF A LET ME GET A THESAURUS.

WELL, I LIKE THAT. DO YOU SAY IT AGAIN? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE AND WE WORK TOGETHER WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY LEADERS WITHIN SOMETHING DEALING WITH ACADEMIC EXERCISES.

I RAN OUT OF STEAM UP HERE. AND THAT VISION, I MEAN, THAT'S A LONG FOR A VISION STATEMENT.

SO, I MEAN, WE CAN TIGHTEN IT UP. YOU YOU YOU CAN JUST SAY FUTURE READY LEADERS AND THEN THE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WILL COME INTO THE MISSION.

BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE'RE DOING. THAT'S HOW WE'RE PRODUCING THE FUTURE.

READY LEADERS IS THROUGH ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

BUT NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

SOMEONE SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THAT, NOT AT THE TOP SOMEHOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT EDUCATION TO GET THEM THERE. WE COULD. I MEAN, I KNOW ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IS IN THERE, BUT REALLY, YOU COULD JUST DROP ACADEMIC AND USE EXCELLENCE BECAUSE THAT WILL BRING IN THE SOCIAL, ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL AND THE FFA AND THE BASKETBALL AND THE AND

[01:10:03]

DOCTOR, HOW DO WE GET THE CONCEPT OF X? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE.

I LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT KIND OF IMPLIES THAT WE, EVEN IF WE'RE FAKING IT, THAT WE WORK TOGETHER.

WHICH WE'RE NOT. I MEAN, DOCTOR NIVENS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY LEADERS WHO CONTRIBUTE. WELL, SINCE YOU ASKED US, I PUT ON ACCOMPLISH FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE FOR LCISD TO BE RECOGNIZED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL FOR OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR PERFORMANCES FROM OUR STUDENTS.

WHAT WORDS OR KEY PHRASES I SAID ELITE, EXCEPTIONAL, DISTINCT CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS.

CAN THIS BE WHAT CAN BE THE DISTRICT REALISTICALLY ACHIEVED? I SAID WE SHOULD BE KNOWN FOR EMBRACING OUR NEW CORE VALUES, ESPECIALLY THE BIG THINKING PIECE.

I MEAN, WE HAVE TO REALLY THINK BIGGER THAN WHAT WE'RE THINKING. AND THEN WHAT PROBLEM DOES YOUR DISTRICT INTEND TO SOLVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US TACKLE THE THE. WE WANT TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD WITH GRIT.

RIGHT. AND A STRONG WORK ETHIC. IN SOCIETY, I THINK IF THEY HAVE GRIT THEY CAN DEAL WITH, THEY HAVE COPING SKILLS.

THEY CAN TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. THEY HAVE A STRONG WORK ETHIC.

THEN THAT WOULD THAT WOULD EQUIP THEM TO BE TREMENDOUS CITIZENS.

AND THEN HOW WOULD THINGS BE DIFFERENT IF YOUR VISION IS REALIZED? WELL, WE PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY GRADUATES WHO ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.

WHAT WERE YOUR WORDS AROUND EXCELLENCE? I SAID ELITE EXCEPTIONAL, DISTINCT CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S ASKING ME. I DIDN'T USE THE WORD EXCELLENCE BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF CLICHE ISH.

EVERYBODY KIND OF USES IT. I WANT TO USE SOMETHING LIKE EXCEPTIONAL.

DIFFERENT. INTERESTING, DISTINGUISHED. ANYWAY, JUST PRODUCING, PRODUCING STUDENTS THAT WILL GO OUT IN THE WORLD AND HAVE A STRONG WORK ETHIC AND HAVE SOME GRIT AND HAVE SOME.

AND THOSE ARE VALUES. YEAH. SO SO I JUST DROPPED IN IF I MEAN MY SUGGESTION, BUT VALUE DRIVEN LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY LEADERS.

BUT WE STILL NEED, NEED, NEED AND WE CAN GET RID OF THIS TO THE NO PRIDE OF AUTHORSHIP AT ALL.

WE I DO THINK WE NEED TO SPRINKLE SOMETHING IN HERE AROUND AROUND EXCEPTIONALISM.

EXCELLENCE. YOU KNOW THE WHAT? SO ELITE WILL BE MISINTERPRETED.

SO WE DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT. WHY IS THAT? I MEAN, BECAUSE ELITIST ELITISM.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR KIDS BEING ELITE? OKAY.

I MEAN, I HEAR THAT. I HEAR THAT A LOT. AND THAT'S MY THAT'S MY COMEBACK. IT'S LIKE, SO WHY WHY WOULDN'T OUR KIDS BE ELITE? WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT THEM TO BE ELITE? WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT THEM TO STEP OUT? AND PEOPLE SAY, OH, YOU'RE A LAMAR GRADUATE.

YOU'RE SEPARATE FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU'RE DISTINCT. YOU'RE ELITE FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM BEHIND THAT. I LIKE IT, MOXIE.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM BEHIND THAT. THAT VERY, VERY GOOD.

COUNCILMAN WHAT OTHERS THINK. HOW CAN WE PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN HERE? I KEEP TYPING. THEM TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE. THE ISD SAID THAT.

HEY, WE'VE HAD GOOD STUDENTS COME FROM THAT DISTRICT BEFORE.

GIVE ME SOME OF THOSE WORDS AGAIN. ELITE. EXCEPTIONAL.

ELITE. EXCEPTIONAL. DISTINCT. I SAID CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

DO THEY HAVE IT? BUT PIGGYBACKING OFF WHAT TRUSTEE.

WELSH SECRETARY WELSH SAID IS THAT WHOLE, THAT WHOLE A&M CULTURE IS THAT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, RIGHT? THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO YOUR MIND IS JUST THE CULTURE AND THE LOVE AND THE RESPECT AND THE REVERENCE THEY HAVE FOR THAT UNIVERSITY.

IT'S A YEAH. PRIDE. YEAH, YEAH. WOULD THEY SAY AGGIES HIRE AGGIES IS WHAT I'VE HEARD.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S THAT'S THE KIND OF CULTURE WE WANT LAMAR CISD IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE HEAR LAMAR CISD, THEY'RE LIKE, OH YEAH, DON'T DON'T WALK ON THE GRASS.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S THAT IT'S THAT I MEAN, IT'S CALLED THE AGGIE NETWORK.

[01:15:03]

AND YOU SAID IT ORIGINALLY DEFINING WHO WE ARE IN THE VISION STATEMENT.

I DON'T SEE THAT ON THE ON THE EXAMPLES YOU GAVE US ON THE SCREEN.

WELL, THOSE ARE JUST FOUR EXAMPLES. YEAH, YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S.

IT'S TOO CLUNKY. A LITTLE TOO, AS OPPOSED TO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'LL COME WE'LL COME UP IN THE MISSION HERE IN JUST A MOMENT, AS OPPOSED TO SAY, OH, WE'RE INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY, WE'RE THE STAKEHOLDERS.

AND THAT'S THAT'S ALONG THE WAY WHERE WE CAN DEFINE THAT IN THE MISSION.

WELL, BUT YOU DON'T DEFINE THAT IN THE MISSION. THE MISSION IS HOW YOU DO THINGS.

THIS IS OUR VISION IS THE MISSION IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AREN'T WE AREN'T WE DEFINING THE TERMS HERE NOW, OURSELVES AS A GROUP? I MEAN, BUT AND THERE'S NO THERE'S NO NECESSARILY.

EXACTLY. SO THERE IS THERE'S NO NECESSARILY WAY TO SAY WHAT THE VISION SHOULD BE OR WHAT THE MISSION SHOULD BE.

BUT IF WE'RE TRYING TO GET A SUCCINCT, CLEAR VISION FOR THE DISTRICT, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A BIT.

BUT FOR OUR FIRST ONE THAT WE AND WE DON'T HAVE.

YEAH, WE'LL JUST COME OUT OF THE GATE KICKING.

BUT SO TAKE NAMES OF EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY BECAUSE WE ARE EVERY OTHER DISTRICT IN REGION FOUR FIRST AND THEN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

YES, THEN THE WORLD. I FEEL LIKE WE WE'VE ADDRESSED THIS.

I FEEL LIKE IT ADDRESSES EXCELLENCE. I FEEL LIKE IT ADDRESSES COMMUNITY.

I'M A LITTLE UNCERTAIN HERE, BUT. BUT YOU COULD CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

SO FAR WE HAVE LCISD IS A. I GOT RID OF VALUES AND PUT THEM DOWN HERE.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY LEADERS COMMITTED TO THE VALUE OF EXCELLENCE, A VALUE OF EXCELLENCE.

COMMITTED TO A VALUE OF SOMETHING. COMMITTED TO WHAT? COMMITTED TO A VALUE OF EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT WE DO.

THAT'S JUST ME SAYING WHAT WE ARE. BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE.

IT'S WHAT WE WANT TO BE. WHAT OUR VISION OF WHAT WE WILL BE.

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S A VISION OF WHAT WE WILL BECOME IN THE COMING YEARS, RIGHT? NOT WHAT WE ARE. BEHIND YOU. RIGHT THERE. THAT PASSION FOR PEOPLE AND PLAN FOR SUCCESS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A MISSION STATEMENT, BUT IT IT DROVE WHAT WE WANTED US TO MOVE FORWARD IN DOING RIGHT.

AND THIS IS ALSO REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT WE HEARD. LIKE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS FOR BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THIS THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE WARD'S VISION IS I FIND THIS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT YOU WANT YOUR COMMUNITY SAID, BUT YOU ALL ARE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, OBVIOUSLY.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

I LIKE THAT THE CONCEPT IS WE ARE ALL ONE COMMUNITY, EVEN THOUGH WE COME FROM VERY, VERY DIFFERENT LENSES, PERSPECTIVES. AND THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS COMPLEX GROUP, STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, STAKEHOLDERS CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE READY LEADERS COMMITTED TO A VALUE OF EXCELLENCE.

COMMITTED TO. I'M. I'M. WHAT ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THIS? DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE WORD READY IN THERE? CAN WE JUST PUT FUTURE LEADERS? MAYBE THAT'S THE WORD THAT'S TRIPPING ME UP, I THINK SO, I MEAN, IT'S NOT PRODUCING FUTURE LEADERS.

IT JUST. I SEE A COUPLE A COUPLE HEAD NODS. JACKIE, I THINK YOU CAME UP WITH FUTURE READY? I'M NOT MARRIED TO IT, OKAY AT ALL. ARE YOU OKAY WITH FUTURE LEADERS, EVERYONE? ANYONE ANYONE THE DEAL BREAKER FOR ANYBODY. LET'S JUST SEE HOW IT READS.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF PRODUCING FUTURE LEADERS COMMITTED TO A VALUE OF EXCELLENCE. I THINK WE I MEAN, WE CAN TAKE THOSE.

WHAT IF WE TAKE OUT THE WORD FUTURE? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE PRODUCING LEADERS RIGHT NOW. SO JUST ON TUESDAY NIGHT, WE HAD A YOUNG LADY THAT CAME AND SPOKE UP.

AND SO SHE WAS BEING A LEADER IN THAT MOMENT.

WATCH THIS. WHAT IF WE DO THIS? WHOO! WHAT IF THIS DESCRIBES WHO WE ARE, RIGHT? AS YOU WERE SAYING. WHAT IF WE PUT THIS? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO A VALUE OF EXCELLENCE.

NO NO NO NO NO. IS STAKEHOLDERS. YEAH. NO, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.

[01:20:03]

NO, THIS WHOLE THIS WHOLE THING OF DEFINING OURSELVES IN THIS POSITION STATEMENT IS THROWING ME WAY OFF.

I JUST I'M PUTTING THAT OUT THERE AGAIN. I CAN'T I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A BROAD PICTURE WHERE WE WANT TO GO, NOT WHAT WE ARE NOW. YEAH, BUT IT'S PART OF OUR VISION, PART OF THE THING WE'VE SAID IT'S ON THERE MULTIPLE TIMES IS DEFINING WHO THE COMMUNITY IS AND DEFINING WE CAN STILL DO THAT IN A FUTURE STATEMENT.

WELL, BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS AMPLIFYING, EXPANDING THIS WORK.

THE WORD WE. AND SO WE WANT TO SAY WHO THE WE IS.

BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS DEFINING THAT WORD. AND SO LAMAR CISD IT'S NOT JUST THE PAID PEOPLE DOING IT.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT A FOR PROFIT COMPANY LIKE MICROSOFT, YOU GOT THE CEO AND YOU GOT ALL THE PAY PEOPLE DOING THAT.

I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF PART OF MICROSOFT. AND SO I'M NOT PART OF THE WE.

BUT BEING SOMEONE THAT LIVES ON GEORGINA DOWN THE STREET AND MY NEIGHBORS ARE ON.

I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, BUT I THINK HE JUST HAD A VERY VALID POINT. DOCTOR SCRIBNER.

WHAT'S THAT? THE WE. YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO.

AND THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN THE MOMENT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO DEFINE WHAT WE IS AS OPPOSED TO USING THE SIMPLE LETTERS.

BUT OUR PEOPLE DON'T. WE WANT. WE WANT OUR. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I'M TELLING YOU. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND YOU'VE SAID IT A COUPLE OF TIMES. I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW I DISAGREE THAT WE NEED TO DEFINE THAT HERE.

I THINK IT'S WORTH DEFINING. I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH DEFINING IN THE VISION STATEMENT, BUT I THINK IF THAT IS A PRIORITY OF OURS TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, WE'VE GOT TO TELL IN THE VISION THAT THEIR COMMUNITY THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE WE.

WELL, WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS? CAN I JACKIE, JOE, ANYBODY ELSE GOT SOME THOUGHTS ON CAN I TRY? LORD HAVE MERCY. LCAC IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS COMMITTED TO THE COMMITTED TO THE CORE VALUES OR VALUES OR CORE VALUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY, BIG THINKING, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY AND JOY. EQUIPPING THEM FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO LIKE EMBEDDING THE VALUES INTO THE STATEMENT, AND THEN THE MISSION STATEMENT IS HOW WE GET THERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW. HOW THE COMMISSION IS ALSO DEFINING WHAT IS IT, WHAT IS IT WE WANT TO DO? WE WANT TO EQUIP OUR STUDENTS WITH BLAH BLAH BLAH, BLAH BLAH.

SO SO LET'S JUMP ON THE MISSION HERE IN A MINUTE.

BUT, BUT BUT THE. SO SO WHAT? JACKIE, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS EMBED THE VALUES INTO THIS MISSION STATEMENT. CAN YOU SAY IT AGAIN INTO THE VISION? YEAH. LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS COMMITTED TO THE VALUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY, BIG THINKING, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, AND JOY, EQUIPPING THEM FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS.

OR NOW THAT I'M READING THAT WE COULD PUT BACK IN THE COMMUNITY PIECE, LIKE THE WELL, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON COMMUNITY CENTERED, BUT. I YOU KNOW THE YOUR CULTURE HERE OF COMMUNITY.

THIS GOT ME KIND OF EXCITED. THIS CONCEPT OF, YOU KNOW, CONTRIBUTING, THIS COMMON CONTRIBUTION, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT THAT THAT WHEN WE SAY LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMON GOALS, OR MAYBE IT'S COMMON VALUES OF OF THOSE THINGS.

OKAY. DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD LIST OUT THE VALUES? I DON'T KNOW. SO THEN NO VALUES. LOTS OF WORDS.

NO. YEAH. OKAY. I MEAN, THE VISION IS GOING TO BE SHORTER, RIGHT? AND THEN THE MISSION IS GOING TO BE MORE EXPLANATORY.

I WOULD ASSUME. WHAT WAS IT CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL OF? PRODUCING THAT FEATURE. WELL, WE WANT TO GET FUTURE READY LEADERS THAT ARE COMMITTED TO.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, AND STAKEHOLDERS CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL.

SAY IT AGAIN. CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL.

Y'ALL WANT TO KEEP THAT? OR NO, I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT JOHN SAID EARLIER BECAUSE I WAS TYPING.

JUST I SAID, YOU COULD SAY ALL THAT OR YOU COULD SAY WE BUT WE HAVE TO LET THE PEOPLE KNOW.

I SEE THAT, I SEE THAT, BUT BUT, BUT BUT I ALSO SEE THE VALUE OF OF SPELLING IT OUT, SPELLING IT OUT.

[01:25:01]

YEAH. ACTUALLY. YEAH. BECAUSE IF OUR 3 TO 5 YEAR GOAL IS TO HAVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN IT, THEY HAVE TO BE TOLD THAT THEY'RE PART OF IT.

IF YOU DO THIS RIGHT IN THREE YEARS, YOU CAN GO BACK. WE CAN GO BACK TO WE.

IF WE DO IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL SEE THEMSELVES.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL TO A OR THE TO A TO A.

WE NEED SOME OF OUR AP ENGLISH TEACHERS TO COME HELP US OUT.

YEAH, WE'RE YOU'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS TILL TILL MAY.

SO YOU GOT SOME TIME. MISS ROWE AT RANDALL HIGH SCHOOL.

I NEED MISS ROWE, WORDSMITH. DO Y'ALL LIKE PRODUCING LEADERS OR DEVELOPING LEADERS? DEVELOPING. I LIKE DEVELOPING. YEAH. OKAY. SO CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING LEADERS.

DEVELOPING? YEAH. YEAH. HEY, WE AGREED ON SOMETHING.

GO AHEAD. OKAY. GOAL OF DEVELOPING GOAL. GOAL OF DEVELOPING LEADERS.

THAT ARE COMMITTED. RIGHT? WELL. COMMITTED TO THE VALUES.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE HAD DOWN THERE. COULD YOU SAY THAT ARE COMMITTED TO THE VALUES WE SAY OR JUST COMMITTED REFERENCING VALUES OR TO LCI? I DON'T KNOW. THESE ARE THE VALUES OF THE. YEAH.

I MEAN I ALSO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT COMES IN A BIG LONG PDF AND EVERYTHING.

SO IF THE IF WE WANT TO HAVE LIKE A PART OF IT THAT JUST SAYS OUR, LIKE OUR CULTURE, OUR VALUES AND THEN HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY, BIG THINKING, COMPASSION LIKE IT DOESN'T ALL HAVE TO GO IN THE VISION.

YEAH. YEAH. I DON'T I DON'T THINK EXACTLY BECAUSE IF YOU SAID SHARE VALUES YOU CAN CLICK AND SEE WHAT THOSE SHARED VALUES ARE.

RIGHT? RIGHT. AND THOSE SIX SHARED VALUES. OR WE MAY VOTE ON DIFFERENT ONES IN MAY.

RIGHT. SO THOUGH WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE TO BE MARRIED TO THOSE, EVEN THOUGH YES, WE WANT TO EVALUATE THE COMMUNITY.

THEY MIGHT CHANGE OVER TIME. THEY MAY. YEAH. HAVE WE USED THE WORD? WE USED THE WORD COMMUNITY ALREADY. AND WE KEEP GOING BACK TO EXCELLENCE.

BUT EXCELLENCE ISN'T PART, WE. THAT IS PART. I APOLOGIZE.

PART OF THAT. WHAT DO YOU WANT OUR LEADERS COMMITTED ELTON CISD OR WE LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS CONTRIBUTING TO A COMMON GOAL.

THAT TOO MUCH CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING.

NO. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE WHAT WE DO, NOT WHAT OUR VISION IS.

BUT NO, WE ENVISION THIS OR WE COULD, WE CAN WE CAN CHANGE IT.

SAY WE ENVISION LCISD TO BE A COMMUNITY. BUT LIKE YOU, YOU PUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN YOUR VISION STATEMENT, LIKE WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. ARE WE THAT PARTS OF IT? I MEAN, THAT'S PRETTY BASIC TO ME. SO YEAH, BUT I THINK WE ARE.

I MEAN, DOES THE OWNER OF BIMS ACROSS THE STREET SEE HIM AS PART OF THIS? DOES HE IDENTIFY OR DOES THAT RESONATE WITH HIM? THIS IS TELLING HIM HE'S HE'S HE'S PART OF THE SOLUTION.

NO. WHATEVER DEVELOPING OUR FUTURE LEADERS.

JUST SERIOUSLY OUR VISION. YEAH. I MEAN, I A FUTURE LEADER HERE WHEN WE SAY CONTRIBUTING TO A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING LEADERS, I THINK. YEAH. YEAH. PERIOD. AND THEN JUST SAY COMING OVER HERE WITH A CORE PURPOSE AND TARGET AUDIENCE. I'M JUST SAYING, WOULDN'T WE SAY IF OUR VISION IS, WOULDN'T IT BE TO DEVELOP, TO DO, NOT DEVELOPING LIKE WE'RE SAYING, WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME.

I THINK YOU COULD TAKE OUT THE PHRASE CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMON GOAL THAT'S IMPLIED.

OKAY. YEAH. THROUGH THAT, I MEAN, WE LET YOU KNOW, LIKE KAY AND I LIKE CONTRIBUTING, BUT BUT BUT WE DON'T NEED IT.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? IF WE, IF WE WERE TO SAY COULD YOU JUST SAY WITH A COMMON GOAL.

WHAT IF WHAT IF WE WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO SAY HERE, WE WE USE IT AS AN ADJECTIVE BEFORE LEADERS.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING BLACK LEADERS WITHIN.

[01:30:07]

I MEAN, WE ARE A SYSTEM. WE ARE A CULTURE OF CULTURE, OF EXCELLENCE WITHIN A WITHIN A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? CULTURE OR LIKE CULTURE IS LIKE YOUR.

NO, I MEAN LIKE, TELL ME, WHAT IS YOUR CULTURE? WHAT IS THAT TO YOU? THAT IS A I MEAN WE SO IN SOCIETY YOU HAVE YOUR NORMS. YOU HAVE YOUR VALUES. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. SO OUR CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE IS THAT THAT IS WHAT WE EXPECT.

SO WHEN YOU SET YOUR CULTURE TO BE A STANDARD, TO BE A STANDARD.

SO IT'S A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. SO YOUR CULTURE.

SO THEN YOU HAVE ALL YOUR SUBCULTURES AND YOU HAVE WHAT WOULD WE SAY CULTURE. WHY WOULDN'T WE SAY A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE OR WELL, CULTURE KIND OF WORDSMITHING SAYS THAT YOU'RE A PART OF A SYSTEM AND A CULTURE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN SAY, THIS IS MY CULTURE. YOUR CULTURE IS HOW YOUR COMMUNITY FEELS OR HOW YOUR CUSTOMERS FEEL ABOUT IT.

SO IT'S WHAT'S IMPLIED. IT'S THE BYPRODUCT OF WHAT YOU SET IN PLACE.

REMEMBER EARLIER WE SAID GOLD STANDARD DISTINCTION? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH THE WITH THE COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING.

LEADERS. DOCTOR NIVENS, WHAT KIND OF LEADERS DO YOU WANT? LEADERS TO THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD SAY EARLY I WANT I WANT LEADERS THAT HAVE I MEAN, GRIT IS THE ONLY WORD THAT KEEPS COMING TO ME.

WHAT WORD? GRIT. YOU KNOW, TO ME. TO ME, GRIT MEANS IS THAT YOU, NO MATTER WHAT THE OBSTACLE IS, IS YOU'RE GOING TO OVERCOME IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL.

YOU HAVE THE GRIT. YOU HAVE THE STAMINA, YOU HAVE THE DESIRE.

YOU HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO OVERCOME THAT OBSTACLE.

AND SO. AND THAT'S WHAT OUR WORLD IS LACKING RIGHT NOW.

OUR WORLD. OUR WORLD IS LACKING. PEOPLE THAT HAVE GRIT, THAT HAVE THAT STAMINA UP.

WE SAID RESILIENT HERE. YEAH. RESILIENCE. YOU KNOW KIDS ARE RESILIENT ANYWAY.

SO YOU KNOW WE NEED TO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PRODUCED OR DEVELOPED.

AND THE EXCELLENCE MAY BE A LITTLE CLICHE, BUT WHAT IF I EMBED WHAT YOU JUST SAID THIS WAY? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STAFF, STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING RESILIENT LEADERS COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE. I LIKE SO. MANY. OTHERS.

WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY MEAN? COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, MEANING THAT THEY, THOSE STUDENTS OR THE STUDENTS WE WILL ACHIEVE FOR THE HIGHEST.

THAT WE WANT TO GET THEM READY TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST OF THEIR ABILITY AND AND CAPABILITIES.

SO I WANT ONE OF THEM TO BE A DOCTOR. THE POINT ABOUT THE ELITES.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING AND SUSTAINING CONDITIONS TO ENABLE ALL STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE UNPARALLELED EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY THAT IS INTELLECTUALLY, SOCIALLY, PERSONALLY TRANSFORMATIVE. AS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS WITH A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE RESILIENT LEADERS COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE.

BUT I'M NOT FEELING THE LOVE OR THE EXCITEMENT.

IT DOESN'T EVEN MENTION ACADEMICS. FOR INSTANCE, THAT'S THE IT'S THE MAIN.

YEAH, IT'S THE MAIN REASON WE'RE HERE.

AND THEN WE DID SAY THAT OUT OF THE OUT OF THE, OUT OF THE OUT OF THE CHUTE HERE.

SO WHAT IF WE MOVE THAT UP HERE THEN? LH6 COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH A COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING SOMETHING. RESILIENT LEADERS.

CITIZENS. YEAH. JACKIE, YOUR POINT ABOUT WHOLE.

[01:35:04]

SAY THAT AGAIN. AND THEY'RE STILL LEARNING. I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK IT'S VERY VAGUE IN THAT SENSE BY LEADERS.

I THINK I MEAN, I THINK I KNOW, I KNOW, I HEAR WHAT YOU SAY, BUT THE CMR ACRONYM.

I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THAT SOMEHOW. OKAY.

BECAUSE IF THAT WERE TO CHANGE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, LET'S JUST LET ME DEFEND THAT FOR A MOMENT.

IF THAT CHANGES BY THE T OR STATE LEGISLATURE, THIS BOARD COULD COME BACK AND REWRITE THAT ONE LITTLE PHRASE OF THE VISION STATEMENT AND THEN KEEP GOING WITH IT. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE FOCUS WHEN WE SAY LEADERS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GRADUATING KIDS WHO ARE IN COLLEGE AND CAREER OR MILITARY READY.

THAT IS THE GOAL OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHAT IF BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THE WORD DISTINCT.

I REALLY LIKE THE WORD DISTINCT. COULD WE SAY LCISD IS A DISTINCT COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, AND STAKEHOLDERS? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO Y'ALL? GROUP. TEAM. I LIKE THE SEAT. OR YOU COULD SAY VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

NO. OR I LIKE TO SING. I THINK IT'S STILL JUST ADDING MORE WORDS LIKE DISTINCT, DISTINCT.

ONE WORD AT LEAST. I MEAN, I LIKE THE WORD TOO, IF WE CAN.

ARE WE OKAY WITH COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AFTER THE LIST OF WHO WE ARE? LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH THE COMMON GOAL OF DEVELOPING A WELL-ROUNDED, RESILIENT. GRADUATES. LEADERS. I LIKE WHAT JOHN WAS SAYING. ABOUT CMR. I JUST DON'T KNOW. WOULD YOU SAY LIKE LEADERS WHO ARE READY FOR COLLEGE, CAREER OR MILITARY? COLLEGE AND CAREER READY LEADERS? YEAH. NO. ALSO, WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK ABOUT SAYING DIVERSE COMMUNITY? BECAUSE WE ARE A DIVERSE COMMUNITY. LIKE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF.

YEAH. DIVERSE. I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED AN ADJECTIVE THERE.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT A LOT OF WORDS. I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

I MEAN, THE THE ONLY THING IS, LIKE, IT'S A GIVEN.

WE ARE DIVERSE, SO, LIKE, IT'S MAYBE NOT. OUR VISION IS TO BE DIVERSE, BUT OUR VISION IS TO BE DISTINCT, AND OUR VISION IS TO BE. DIFFERENT. OR DO WE JUST SAY LCISD IS A DISTINCT COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO OR A DISTINCT DISTRICT? I DON'T KNOW.

LCISD IS A DISTINCT COMMUNITY. I MEAN, WHEN I LOOK AT THE THESAURUS, IT SAYS FOR DISTINCT, DEFINITE, NOTICEABLE, RECOGNIZABLE, SPECIFIC, UNMISTAKABLE.

SO THOSE ARE OTHER WORDS FOR DISTINCT AND I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH. SO IF I WERE TO IF I WERE TO TAKE AWAY DISTINCT AND I PUT THE WORD RECOGNIZABLE, HOW WOULD THAT WOULD THAT BE A VALUE ADD FOR THAT OR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY. BECAUSE WE COULD SAY THAT. AND THEN WE CAN ADD WE AIM TO CULTIVATE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT WILL SUCCEED THROUGH STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND ELITE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

SO YOU COULD USE THAT SUBSTITUTE THE CONCEPT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH THAT DESCRIPTION, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE. SO LIKE THE FIRST SENTENCE COULD BE THAT WHO WE ARE AND THAT IT'S SETTING THE TONE AND THE EXPECTATION.

AND PART OF OUR VISION IS THAT ALL THOSE PLAYERS ARE INVOLVED.

AND THE SECOND SENTENCE WOULD BE THAT WE ARE OR WE COULD TO BE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR ELITE ACADEMIC.

AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. SO OKAY, SO WE HAVE WE HAVE WHO WE ARE. WE HAVE COMMITTED RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. WE REALLY NEED MORE WALLS HERE.

[01:40:07]

WITH THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING WELL-ROUNDED. BUT BUT ARE WE OFF OF THAT NOW? I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE'RE OVERTHINKING THIS TOO MUCH.

SO HOW DO WE SIMPLIFY IT, THEN? REMEMBER THE CONCEPTS THAT WE THAT WE WANTED TO GET TO WERE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THIS CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY, WE HAVE THAT THERE.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. ONES WE SAID WE WERE USED TO LIKE FUTURITY, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT EMPOWERMENT. LCISD IS GOOD.

SO WHAT ABOUT IF YOU PUT IT PUT IT BACK ON WHAT THE COMMUNITY SAID. THOSE FOUR BUCKETS. SURE, SURE, SURE. I WONDER IF WE CAN TAKE THOSE.

AND WE CAN HAVE WORDS TO FILL IN THE GAP TO CONNECT ALL THOSE.

SO WE TALK ABOUT INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, EXCELLENCE, ACADEMICS, EXTRACURRICULARS, EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES, COMMUNITY CENTRIC. I WONDER IF WE CAN TAKE THOSE AND JUST HAVE WORDS THAT WILL FILL IN THOSE GAPS TO CONNECT ALL THOSE FOUR.

I MEAN, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

WITH THE COMMON GOAL. OF MAYBE NOT DEVELOPING IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.

CULTIVATING. CULTIVATING, PROVIDING. CULTIVATING INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS, COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

I LIKE. I LIKE, I LIKE THE WORD CULTIVATE BECAUSE THAT TAKES WORK.

YEAH. YEAH. AND THAT'S THAT GRIT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT GRIT OF THE SOIL.

RIGHT. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. THE PLANTS IN YOUR HOUSE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE'RE WRITING THIS WE'RE WRITING THIS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST US TO READ OR OUR. YEAH. THAT PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND.

THEY ALWAYS GET UPSET WITH US WHEN WE USE TOO MUCH JARGON.

THEY GET UPSET WITH US. WHEN I WENT TO ALL THOSE EVENING MEETINGS AND I PUT THIS UP AND I DIDN'T, I DON'T SEE IT AGAIN. I DON'T SEE IT AGAIN. RIGHT.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? WHY DID I DO ALL THAT WORK? RIGHT. SO BRING IN THEIR WORK INTO WHAT WE WANT.

I LIKE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT TOO HARD.

LCISD IS A IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

COMMITTED WHERE WAS CULTIVATING COMING IN ARE.

COMMITTED TO THE COMMITTED TO THE COMMON GOAL OF CULTIVATING A COMMITTED TO CULTIVATING.

COMMITTED TO CULTIVATING. WE OR I MEAN, WE CULTIVATE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, OR WE AIM TO CULTIVATE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT DOCTOR.

SCRIBNER. YEAH. COULD WE TAKE A BREAK? WE DID TAKE A LITTLE BREAK, BUT Y'ALL DO NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.

DO YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK? ARE YOU GOOD? DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK? ARE YOU GOOD? OKAY.

OKAY. NEVER MIND. LET'S GO ON. OKAY. WE'LL JUST TAKE TURNS.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

I LIKE FINISHING STRONG WITH THESE OVER HERE.

HOW DO WE GET FROM FROM WHO WE ARE TO THAT? WE CULTIVATE A CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THAT'S CUTTING EDGE OVER THERE.

CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. WE'RE CREATING EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS, CREATING EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULARS THROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITIES AND EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES.

SO WE USE THOSE WORDS IN IT. SO WE CREATE OR WE CULTIVATE CUTTING EDGE EDUCATION, CUTTING EDGE OPPORTUNITIES.

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE NOT COMMITTED TO DOING IT. WE'RE DOING WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. YEAH. SO LCISD IS IS A GROUP OF THESE PEOPLE WE THAT CULTIVATES INNOVATIVE EDUCATION. IS THAT WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS OR CUTTING EDGE? YOU LIKE CUTTING EDGE. WE'RE COMMITMENT. COMMITMENT.

[01:45:01]

SO WE CAN SAY INNOVATIVE I THINK THEY'D UNDERSTAND IT.

YEAH. AND THEY CAME UP WITH THESE. THEY CAME UP WITH.

YEAH. SO WE'LL SAY I MEAN CULTIVATES INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES, INNOVATIVE EDUCATION, EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND CURRICULUMS, COMMUNITY CENTER GROWTH AND EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES.

I THINK THAT WORKS. EITHER THAT OR I'M SO LOST.

SO I'M LOST. WELL, HE'S ABOUT RIGHT NOW. WHAT HE'S DOING IS WE CULTIVATE PART OF WHAT WE SAID.

BUT INNOVATIVE LEARNING. INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. WHERE OR. YEAH. INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WITH EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS. GREAT. GREAT. YEAH. THAT CREATES EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULARS THROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH AND EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES.

YEAH. OH WE WILL. NO, BUT I MEAN, YEAH, SEND IT TO US AND WE CAN WORK ON IT BECAUSE IT JUST GETS A LOT BETTER.

YOU SAID. OKAY. INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT DEVELOPS THE GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME A LEADER OF TOMORROW OR PARDON.

INNOVATIVE WHAT? INNOVATIVE EDUCATION? INNOVATIVE LEARNING? INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU SAID? AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT CREATES EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS. YEAH, THAT CREATES EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS THROUGH.

WELL THEN WOULD YOU SAY SUZANNE MISS BOX, WERE WE SAYING THE GRIT? I WAS JUST SAYING, AFTER YOU TALK ABOUT THE COMMITTED TO WHATEVER WORD WE ENDED UP USING, CULTIVATING DEVELOP THE GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME A LEADER OF TOMORROW.

AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

I DON'T I KNOW. BECAUSE I LIKE LEADERS OF TOMORROW KIND OF IN THE SENSE OF, OKAY, LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS THAT CULTIVATES. IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT CULTIVATES INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.

EXCELLENT EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS. EXTRACURRICULARS.

COMMUNITY CENTER GROWTH. I THINK THE WORD CREATE MAYBE INNOVATIVE EDUCATION ENVIRONMENTS. CREATING EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS.

DO WE WANT TO FINISH IT SHIT WITH THIS AND NOT EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES TO FINISH IT WITH ENSURING ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION.

YES. YEAH. YOU KNOW. OKAY. I'M NOT. I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH THAT.

CREATE INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THAT CREATE EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULAR.

BUT IT'S YOUR STATEMENT. YEAH. WE CAN. I'M NOT MARRIED TO THAT EITHER.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? I'M NOT. YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN WE CAN GET RID OF THAT.

THAT WAS. VERY NICE.

AND I DON'T MEAN WE HAVE WE HAVE EARLIER WHO THE COMMUNITY IS.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO INCLUDE THAT COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT.

WE ARE A COMMUNITY ALREADY. ALTHOUGH THEN WHAT? OR I MEAN I MEAN MAYBE, MAYBE, BUT THE CONCEPT IS BALANCING EXPANSION WITH STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.

SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THAT, GUYS AND GALS?

[01:50:04]

IF IF YOU'RE GOING TO IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT I'M GOING TO DO THIS, DO IT AGAIN, GUYS.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH, WHICH I LIKE, DROP THE BEGINNING AND SAY WE BECAUSE YOU HAVE COMMUNITY IN THERE.

AND THEN YOU CAN DEFINE WHO THE WE IS IN YOUR MISSION AND OTHER PLACES BECAUSE IT'S VERY WORDY.

IT'S KIND OF ON A POSTER. WELL, WE COULD HAVE VISION.

AND THEN RIGHT BELOW IT, THE MISSION, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU USUALLY SEE IN AN ORGANIZATION OR OFTEN SEE, IS IT ONCE UPON A TIME THEY MADE US ALL PUT OUR MISSION STATEMENTS BECAUSE WE USED TO HAVE MISSION STATEMENT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT. I THINK IT WAS REPLACED BY THIS.

WE HAD TO POST THEM IN OUR ROOMS. OH YEAH. AND THE WE.

OUR VALUES AND MISSION STATEMENTS ARE POSTED IN OUR CLASSROOMS. IF WE SAID WE CULTIVATE AN ELITE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

WE'RE INNOVATIVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHERE DID HE SAY HE GETS PUT DOWN WHEN HE USES? WHAT WORD DO YOU USUALLY GET TOLD NOT TO USE? ELITE. DOCTOR. GATES. YEAH, YEAH. SO? SO WHERE ARE WE ON? WHERE ARE WE? ON ON ON ON ON. DEFINING WHO WE ARE KIND OF BUILDING THAT THAT THAT BUY IN VERSUS SHORTENING THE STATEMENT.

WE'LL READ IT SHORTENED AND READ IT LONG AND LET US HEAR IT.

WE ARE. IT DOESN'T WORK. THAT'S IT. YOU'RE A DISTRICT.

WE ARE. I MEAN, WHAT WE WOULD SAY HERE WOULD BE WE CULTIVATE INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS, COMMUNITY CENTER GROWTH AND ENSURE ALL STUDENTS EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION.

WE ALMOST HAVE TO SAY WE AS A DISTRICT. WHAT DOES COMMUNITY CENTER GROWTH MEAN? IT MEANS BALANCING EXPANSION WITH STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.

BUT WHEN SOMEBODY IS READING THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BALANCE EXPANSION WITH STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.

I DON'T LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THE STUDENT IS GOING TO BE AFTER THEY GRADUATE.

OKAY. I LIKE THAT. BUT THIS IS NOT JUST THE STUDENT.

IT'S THE WHOLE DISTRICT. BUT THERE IS THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY, WHICH MAY BE.

AND MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THIS IS, RIGHT? WELL, CAN IT BE TWO SENTENCES? DO WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE SENTENCE AS A VISION? THAT'S I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE.

YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE'RE ONE STATEMENT.

LCISD IS A COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS.

IS IT A GROWING COMMUNITY? DO WE WANT TO SAY THAT? COULD WE JUST SAY LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE THROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRIC? WELL, WE CAN TAKE THAT PART OUT AND REWORD THAT.

BUT JUST I MEAN, JUST SAY THAT IS A COMMUNITY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ARE.

SO WE CAN TAKE OUT WE CAN TAKE OUT THE DEFINING WHO IT IS.

LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY THAT IS COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE THROUGH, WOULDN'T WE WANT TO SAY LIKE WHERE EVERY STUDENT BLAH, BLAH, BLAH? I MEAN, CAN I FINISH THAT? IT SAYS THROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH WHERE WE WORK THAT PART, WE FOSTER INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, ENSURE ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

SAY IT AGAIN. OH GOSH. THIS IS WHY IT'S A WORKSHOP, Y'ALL.

LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

THROUGH AND IF WE WANT TO REWORK THAT COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH OR THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.

BUT WE VALUE THE COMMUNITY'S PARTNERSHIPS. AND SO I THINK WE ARE A COMMUNITY.

WELL, YEAH. BUT BUT YEAH, BUT I MEAN, VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY TO ME THAT ENCOMPASSES PARTNERSHIPS.

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO SAY COMMITTED ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

IF WE'RE COMING BACK HERE AND SAYING WE CULTIVATE INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SHORTER. YEAH, YEAH. WELL, I MEAN, SO HERE LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

OH, YEAH. IS IT VALUE DRIVEN DISTRICT? JUST THAT'S WHY I SAID COMMITTED TO.

[01:55:05]

LET'S GO. BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET US BACK TO WE.

BUT. I THINK PART OF OUR VISION AND WHAT WE HEAR THROUGH THE OTHER WORKSHOPS IS TO BRING IN THAT.

I MEAN, THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T. WE'RE SO LARGE THAT WE'RE NOT SEEN, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, YOUR OPINION AND MY OPINION CAN Y'ALL CAN THE REST OF Y'ALL GIVE US YOUR OPINION ON THIS? JACKIE? JOE, YOU GOT ANYTHING TO ADD? BUT WE I JUST THINK WE'RE GETTING TOO MUCH IN THE WEEDS.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SAY TO ME, THE VISION IS WHAT WE SEE IS LIKE A SNAPSHOT, RIGHT? AND I THINK WE'RE WRITING THE WHOLE BOOK IN OUR, IN OUR COMMUNITY TOLD US WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY WHAT THE WHOLE MOVIE.

BUT. LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY THAT CULTIVATES INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULAR.

AND MAYBE WE GO. MAYBE THAT GOES FIRST. THAT CULTIVATES EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS.

INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND ENSURES ALL STUDENTS EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION.

OKAY. WORKS PERFECT. LET'S WRITE THAT UP AND SEND THAT OUT AND LET US WORK FROM IT.

I DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL. YEAH, IT KIND OF LOSES SOMETHING AT THE END, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T DOESN'T HAVE A PUNCH AT THE END. IT STARTS REAL GOOD AT THE BEGINNING.

IT STARTS STRONG AND THEN FADES. I THINK WE'RE TIRED.

IT'S TWO HOURS. FIVE MINUTES. LET'S DO FIVE MINUTES.

AND THEN. THEN I'LL JOT THIS DOWN ONE MORE TIME AND WE'LL TALK IT THROUGH.

SO IT 735. THANK YOU. DO I NEED TO SAY ANYTHING? YES. YES. ALL RIGHT. IT IS. 727. 728. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.

WE'LL BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES. IT IS 7:37 P.M.

AND WE ARE BACK IN THE WORKSHOP. OKAY, SO I TRIED TO INCORPORATE THE THEMES THAT THE LAMAR CISD COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THAT EMERGED THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND I THINK I WAS HUNG UP ON ON THE ORDER.

BUT WE I KIND OF TRIED TO MOVE THEM AROUND. AND I THINK WE GOT IT IN MOST OF YOUR POINTS, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER THINGS WE WANT TO ADD.

HERE'S HERE'S MY CRACK AT IT. LCISD IS A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY THAT ENSURES ALL STUDENTS ACCESS TO ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE THROUGH INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.

COME PICK IT APART. WHAT'S IT MISSING? A PUNCH? PUNCH? YEAH. IT DOESN'T HAVE A OKAY.

IT SOUNDS VERY GENERIC. OKAY. AS MR. HUBENAK SAID, I CAN SAY WHEN WHEN WE HAD THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING LAST WEEK, BIG THINKING AND JOY WERE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION.

THE CORE VALUES, BECAUSE THEY WERE DIFFERENT WORDS.

AND TYPICALLY YOU DON'T HEAR BIG THINKING IN CORE VALUES.

YOU DON'T HEAR THE WORD JOY AND CORE VALUES. AND THE COMMITTEE REALLY, REALLY LIKED IT AND APPRECIATED IT BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I LIKE THAT TOO. SO, SO BIG THINKING AND JOY EMERGED FROM THE COMMITTEE AS SOMETHING THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IN THIS, IN THIS. WELL, NOT NECESSARILY IN THIS, BUT I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CORE VALUES. WHY THEY CHOSE THOSE WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEY WEREN'T THEY DIDN'T SOUND LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S. RIGHT. AND MAYBE THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF GENERIC VALUE DRIVEN BECAUSE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT WHOSE VALUES? ARE WE A BIG THINKING COMMUNITY? WANNABE. WANNABE? I DON'T KNOW, I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT GRIT, ABOUT OVERCOMING CHALLENGES. SO. JOHN. JOHN.

[02:00:03]

WE COULD SEE WHERE EVERY STUDENT DEVELOPS THE GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

IF WE WANTED TO. BUT WE TOOK THAT OUT, THE LEADERS PART OUT.

SO.

MAYBE THAT GOES MAYBE ENSURES ALL STUDENTS ACCESS IS A SECOND PIECE.

AND THE FIRST PIECE IS UP HERE THAT PREPARES.

RESILIENT STUDENTS PREPARES. SO TO ME, THIS ISN'T THIS IS NOT A VISION STATEMENT. THIS IS MORE OF LIKE A STATEMENT.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S IT'S PRETTY LIKE, WHAT'S THE VISION? WELL, THE VISION IS THAT WE BECOME THAT THAT WE ARE THAT THAT WE CREATE THAT SPACE.

IT'S LIKE A STATEMENT OF WHO WE ARE, LIKE WHAT WE ARE, WHO WE HOPE WE ARE.

WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE ALL OF THOSE JUST NOW. I KNOW IT JUST SAYS WE ARE A, THIS, THIS AND.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE DOING A VISION STATEMENT, IT'S YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT SAYING WE WANT TO BE.

YOU'RE SAYING, NO, YOU ARE. WE'RE WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT TO DO? RIGHT. YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE PROJECTING IT FOR THE FUTURE, RIGHT? WE WILL BUILD, WE WILL PREPARE, WE WILL INFLUENCE, WE WILL COMMIT TO CREATING, WE WILL CREATE.

SO THROUGH COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION, MAYBE INSTEAD OF IS A WHAT WILL WE DO? OR THAT WILL ENSURE OUR MICROSOFT STRIVES TO BE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

WE STRIVE TO BE A DISTRICT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

STRIVE TO FINISH OUR VISION STATEMENT. SO DO WE NEED AN ACTION DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION? I KIND OF LIKE THAT. YOU.

KNOW, I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD SAY THAT WE STRIVE TO STRIVE TO BE RIGHT.

SO. SO GO BACK TO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT GRIT. AND AT THE BEGINNING, WE CAN I JUST SAID THAT WHERE EVERY STUDENT DEVELOPS THE GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

SO SAY THAT AGAIN. I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. EVERYWHERE EVERY STUDENT DEVELOPS THE GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

BUT WE ALSO HAD AT THE BEGINNING THAT WE WERE AN INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

WHERE EVERY STUDENT CULTIVATES INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WHERE EVERY STUDENT DEVELOPS GRIT TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

BECAUSE I THINK WE COULD GET AT THAT FIRST AND THEN COME BACK TO ENSURING ALL STUDENTS.

SO, SO IF WE IF WE SAID LCISD STRIVES TO. DO SOMETHING. PREPARE AND ENSURE. CAN WE PUT IN THERE LCSD STRIVES TO BE A DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION WHERE EVERY STUDENT WHAT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DO. I LIKE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ACTION.

THAT'S THE POINT. STRIVES STRIVES TO BE A DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION THAT ENSURES THAT STUDENT.

YEAH.

I MEAN, WE ALL AGREE THAT WE WANT THEM TO BE LEADERS. THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

WE ALSO WANT TO WE WOULDN'T WANT A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, WITHOUT UNLESS WE LIST OUT ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT WILL ENSURE OR ENSURES WE STRIVE TO ENSURE.

LCISD STRIVES TO BE A DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION THAT ENSURES ALL STUDENTS ACCESS TO ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE THROUGH INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. ALMONDS. CAN WE SAY OPPORTUNITIES INSTEAD OF EXCELLENCE? BECAUSE IT JUST ISN'T WHAT IT WOULD BE. WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT?

[02:05:09]

WHAT IS EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE? WHAT IS THAT LIKE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU ALL? EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE.

IT'S IT'S A FANCY WORD TO SAY. THEY'LL BE GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO.

YEAH, BUT IT JUST ISN'T. WHEN YOU READ WHEN THE AVERAGE PERSON LIKE ME READS THAT, I'M LIKE, WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? LIKE EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE.

YOU HAVE A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. I MEAN, LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I MEAN, IT IS KIND OF WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY SAID, THOUGH. THEY SAID EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS, AIMING FOR HIGH STANDARDS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEANT. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEANT BY IT BY, LIKE, I'M ASSUMING MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE.

NOT JUST IN SPORTS, NOT JUST IN THEATER, NOT JUST IN LIKE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT BUT SAYING SAYING IT IN A ONE WORD LINE TO ME DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH MEANING. SO. SO THERE'S A CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW ABOUT EXCELLENCE.

SO FAR I'M I'M FEELING LCISD STRIVES TO BE A DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION THAT ENSURES ALL STUDENTS ACCESS TO ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR.

SUGGESTIONS? Y'ALL ARE GOING TO KILL ME, BUT I'M JUST LOOKING AT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND HERE AND WHAT THEIR VISIONS ARE.

ONE IS OUR VISION. BE THE LEGACY. AND THE OTHER ONE IS THIS DISTRICT WILL GRADUATE STUDENTS WHO EXHIBIT THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE DISTRICT'S PROFILE OF A GRADUATE.

LIKE, I THINK WE'RE OVERTHINKING, AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO BE LIKE THEM AT ALL.

I JUST THINK IT CAN BE VERY SUCCINCT. IT CAN BE MORE DETAILED THAN OUR MISSION.

OR PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE. OR IT COULD BE COMBINED WITH OUR MISSION ENSURES ALL STUDENTS.

BECAUSE IF WE HAD A PORTRAIT, IT WOULD BE THE MISSION WOULD BE TO ACHIEVE THESE THINGS WITH ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

DO WE EVEN NEED? BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GETTING INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND CUTTING EDGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, THAT WOULD MEAN THEY'RE GETTING ACCESS THERE.

OH WELL, I DON'T KNOW. I JUST THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE HAVE TOO MANY WORDS. OUR VISION IS TO GROW A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS A STANDARD AND EVERY STUDENT HAS EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

SAY THAT AGAIN. OUR VISION IS TO GROW A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD AND EVERY STUDENT HAS EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

DID YOU WRITE THAT? MULTIPLE THOUGHTS PUT TOGETHER? YEAH, PARTS OF IT ARE I OR NOT GOING TO LIE. WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, JOE? I KNOW, I KNOW. I WAS JUST THINKING I GOT THAT TWO HOURS.

YEAH. AND AND THERE'S AN ARGUMENT THAT THE PROCESS IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE DOCUMENT.

YES. ARE YOU ALL WORKING TOGETHER? RIGHT. SO SAY IT AGAIN.

OUR VISION IS TO GROW A VALUE DRIVEN. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

SLOW DOWN. SO WE TOOK AWAY THE. WE'RE NOT SAYING WE.

WE'RE SAYING OUR. DO YOU, DO YOU LIKE R. THAT'S A COMPROMISE GUYS.

IT'S ALSO NOT THE COMMUNITY, THE STUDENTS AND THE THIS AND THE THAT AND THE.

BUT WHAT ABOUT JUST. WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

LET'S DO IT. SO WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.

WHERE? WELL, LET ME JUST SAY IT FIRST SO HE DOESN'T WRITE IT IF Y'ALL DON'T LIKE IT.

WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD AND EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

I LIKE IT. YOU GOT EVERYTHING. WE DON'T HAVE THE COMMUNITY CENTRIC GROWTH.

WE DON'T NEED YOU DON'T NEED THOSE WORDS. BUT BUT BUT BUT SOMETHING THAT.

SAY IT AGAIN. I'M SORRY. OKAY. WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD, AND EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

YOU VALUE COMMUNITY. VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY. INNOVATIVE EXCELLENCE.

AND EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS. YEAH, I LIKE THAT.

[02:10:01]

I GOT WE, YOU WIN, YOU WIN. JOHN. I CONTRIBUTED SOMETHING.

YES, THANKS. THANK YOU, MR. HUBERT. WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD.

AND EVERY STUDENT. HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION. NOW IS THAT IS THAT I, JACKIE, OR IS THAT YOU? THAT'S WHAT ZACH SAID, AND I SHORTENED IT. SO THAT WAS PART.

YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD AND EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

SO IF WE ADOPT THAT, THEN OUR MISSION STATEMENT HAS TO SAY HOW WE WILL BE THAT, HOW WE WILL GET THAT DONE.

YES. AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE ARE UP THERE WITH THEM AND THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM WHAT THE COMMUNITY. RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. IT SHOWED. IT SHOWED UP RIGHT HERE.

YOU GOT IT ALL. YOU GOT COMMUNITY. YOU GOT INNOVATION, YOU GOT EXCELLENCE. YOU GOT EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

OKAY, SO WHY DON'T WE GO WITH THIS TO START CREATING THE MISSION STATEMENT.

AND WE MAY EDIT, BUT YEAH. SO, SO, SO MISSION IS DEFINES OUR PURPOSE.

HOW DO WE GET IT'S HOW WE GET THIS DONE. PROVIDES CLARITY ON THE DAY TO DAY ACTIONS.

AND FOCUS ENSURES THAT OUR DECISIONS ALIGN. IT'S GETTING CLARITY ON DAY TO DAY FOCUS.

AND HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES TO BRING NIKE TO BRING INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION.

TO BRING INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION TO EVERY ATHLETE IN THE WORLD.

NIKE. SO IT FOCUSES ON ITS PURPOSE. IT FOCUSES ON TARGET AUDIENCE AND IT FOCUSES ON WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET DONE TO.

TO CONNECT WITH ACTIVE LIFESTYLES. SO GOOGLE TO ORGANIZE THE WORLD'S INFORMATION AND MAKE IT UNIVERSALLY, UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE AND USEFUL. GOOGLE'S MISSION STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS ITS CORE SERVICE.

WHAT IS OUR CORE SERVICE? WHO IS OUR TARGET AUDIENCE? WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL? AGAIN, MICROSOFT TO EMPOWER EVERY PERSON AND EVERY ORGANIZATION ON THE PLANET TO ACHIEVE MORE.

FOCUSES ON EMPOWERMENT, BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS CREATING TOOLS TO ACHIEVE THAT SUCCESS.

HERE'S WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY SAID. LAMAR CISD COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON MISSION HOLISTIC.

TO YOUR POINT, EARLIER HOLISTIC STUDENT DEVELOPMENT FOCUSING ON COMPREHENSIVE STUDENT WELL-BEING AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

SO BOTH THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND ACADEMIC SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, PRIORITIZING LONG TERM PLANNING AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND EDUCATION MAKES A LOT OF SENSE IN A FAST GROWING HYPERGROWTH DISTRICT.

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, ENHANCING EDUCATION THROUGH STRONG COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS, AND CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION. YOU'RE A VERY DIVERSE AND QUICKLY AND CONTINUALLY CHANGING COMMUNITY, SO ACTIVELY FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT REFLECTS AND RESPECTS THE VARIED BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCES OF ALL STUDENTS.

I HEARD JOE SAY THIS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE NOT ONE COMMUNITY.

SO HERE'S A HERE ARE THE HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU THAT YOU ANSWER, THAT YOU HAVE A SHEET OF PAPER.

WE CAN WE CAN MOVE FASTER ON THIS ONE. I THINK WE GET THE HANG OF IT.

THE FIRST IS WHAT IS OUR CORE PURPOSE? WHAT DO WE DO? WHY DO WE DO IT? WHO IS OUR TARGET AUDIENCE? AND ACTUALLY WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT IN THE FIRST VERSIONS OF THE VISION WHEN WE LISTED EVERYONE, THE WE WHAT SERVICES DO WE PROVIDE TO FULFILL OUR PURPOSES?

[02:15:03]

THIS IS TO TO YOUR POINT SUZANNE, ABOUT ABOUT SUCCINCT.

CONCISE. DIRECT. TO BRING INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION.

TO ORGANIZE AND TO EMPOWER.

YES, SIR. YES. YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

[02:20:43]

SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY WHAT I WROTE DOWN. I JUST SAID THE THE MISSION IS TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE. OBVIOUSLY OUR PRIMARY FOCUS ARE ACADEMICS, BUT THAT WE WANT TO INSTILL AND CULTIVATE OTHER QUALITIES BEYOND ACADEMICS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I WROTE DOWN, I'M SURE YOU ALL WOULD HAVE STUFF TO ADD. CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING.

COMMUNICATION. LEADERSHIP SKILLS. RESPECT. WHAT WAS YOUR WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST COMMENT? THE. TO EQUIP STUDENTS TO DO WHAT? WITH KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.

OKAY. TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS.

DOES THAT, DOES THAT DOES THAT GET THIS DONE? YEAH. I MEAN IT NEEDS DETAILS BUT YEAH. YEAH.

YEAH. AND THEN OUTSIDE OF ACADEMICS AS WELL OTHER QUALITIES.

THIS WILL BE MUCH THIS WILL BE MORE KIND OF CONCISE AND DIRECTED THAN THE VISUAL.

OKAY. OTHER SUGGESTIONS. I WOULD REALLY LOVE US TO US, TO USE THE PHRASE FROM THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, OF WHICH WE'RE ESTABLISHED BY A GENERAL DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE IS THE IS. THAT IS THE OPENING PHRASE OF ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION.

THAT'S THE REASON WE EXIST. A GENERAL DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE.

SO WHEN YOU SAY ON HERE, WHAT IS OUR CORE PURPOSE? IT'S A GENERAL DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE IN MY MIND.

WHAT SHOULD KIDS KNOW AND WHAT SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO DO? OTHERS. ALSO. BASICALLY, WE WANT A WELL ROUNDED EDUCATION EMBRACES THE WHOLE STUDENT, THEIR INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL GROWTH.

WE WANT TO EMBRACE. A WELL-ROUNDED STUDENT. SAY IT. SAY WHAT ELSE? WELL, A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION.

EDUCATION THAT EMBRACES THE WHOLE STUDENTS FOR INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL GROWTH.

OKAY. OTHERS. MISSION STATEMENT TWO. TO DO WHAT? THAT WILL ACHIEVE THIS VISION IN THE COMING YEARS.

PLEASE SAY TO BRING, TO ORGANIZE, TO EMPOWER SOME.

SO FAR TO EQUIP IS IS A ACTION WORD TO DIFFUSE.

ALTHOUGH THAT MAY BE A LITTLE CONFUSING TO SOME FOLKS.

TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD. I ALSO LOOKED UP PASSION FOR LEARNING.

HOW CAN WE GET SOMETHING IN THERE TO MAKE THEM? BECAUSE WE BRING THE WE BRING EVERYTHING TO THEM.

[02:25:02]

THAT'S THE PASSION. WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THIS ORGANIZATION? TO DO WHAT? THAT WILL RESULT IN EXCELLENCE.

AND. HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION. I THINK COMBINING ACADEMICS WITH LIKE CTE STUFF.

I MEAN, ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN ACADEMIC PIECE TO IT, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK.

CERTAIN THINGS THAT DON'T TO ME, DON'T SEEM ACADEMIC. LIKE CRITICAL THINKING IS NOT ACADEMIC.

IT'S A IT'S LIKE IT'S A LEARNED BASE. OH, WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

CRITICAL THINKING THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU THINK OF AS ACADEMIC TYPICALLY.

AND I MEAN, YOU KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IS KIND OF WHAT YOU SAID OVER HERE TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS SO THAT THEY MAY BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT ON THAT PYRAMID OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO LEARN CRITICAL THINKING IS ONE OF THOSE STEPS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE.

AND THEN IT'S TO GET TO WHERE THEY CAN EVALUATE, YOU KNOW, AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT IS SUPPORT, RIGHT? RIGHT. AND THEN THE SKILLS. THE KNOWLEDGE.

RIGHT. I THINK WHEN WE DO THE PROFILE OF A STUDENT, A CRITICAL THINKER CAN BE PART OF THAT.

JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO PUT THE GENERAL DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE IN THERE.

I. RIGHT NOW. NO BECAUSE I GOOD QUESTION. BUT I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO THE SAME EXERCISE WE DID FOR THE VISION WHICH IS GO THROUGH THESE THINGS RIGHT HERE. SO I'M KIND OF SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON WHAT'S OUR CORE PURPOSE IS OKAY.

OTHERS JUST. YEAH. JUST LIKE LAST TIME. I MEAN, YOU GUYS, YOU SHARE WITH ME THE GENERAL THEMES THAT HAVE EMERGED FROM THE PAGE.

I'M FEELING LIKE THERE IS SOME AGREEMENT ABOUT OUR TARGET AUDIENCE BEING OUR STUDENTS.

RIGHT? I THINK STUDENTS, BUT ALSO JUST CURRENT AND POTENTIAL STUDENTS AND STAFF AND FAMILIES, I MEAN, I THINK POTENTIAL ONES AS WELL. I ACTUALLY LISTED A FIVE AND I PUT STUDENTS LAST BECAUSE THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO READ THIS.

THEY DON'T CARE WHO THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ARE. THE TAXPAYERS FIRST AND FOREMOST.

SECOND, PEOPLE WHO CARE WERE INCORPORATED IN THAT ARE PARENTS, OF COURSE, BUT A LOT OF TAXPAYERS ARE NOT PARENTS.

MOST ARE NOT. YEAH. ANOTHER GROUP THAT CARES IS ARE IS OUR STAFF.

ANOTHER GROUP THAT CARES ARE THE BUSINESS OWNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE KIND OF LOOKING LIKE, WHAT'S THIS DISTRICT ALL ABOUT? HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS? AND THAT'S. I, I DON'T I DON'T SEE THE NEED TO WRITE A STATEMENT THAT ENCOURAGES OUR STUDENTS TO BUY INTO OUR MISSION STATEMENT. WELL, I THINK WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ASKING THEM TO BUY INTO IT.

WRONG PHRASE ON MY PART. I THINK I WAS COMMUNICATING.

WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY THOUGH, IS, IS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT.

LIKE DOCTOR NIVENS ALWAYS SAYS, THEY HAVE TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT.

OUR STUDENTS. SO, I MEAN, IT'S A ANYWAY. SO IF THIS IS THE PURPOSE, KIND OF THE GOAL OF OUR ORGANIZATION, THE MISSION STATEMENT SHOULD BE CLEAR, CONCISE AND FOCUSED ON GETTING US HERE.

BETTER. OUR MISSION IS TO EDUCATE THE STUDENTS.

BOTTOM LINE OR WE DON'T EXIST, RIGHT? SO IT'S WHAT DO WE WANT TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS WITH? DO YOU WANT TO SKILLS WITH CHARACTER? WITH PASSION? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EQUIP THE STUDENTS WITH? NOT JUST READING AND WRITING ARITHMETIC.

THEY NEED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH OTHER SKILLS THAT THEY CAN TRANSFER INTO OTHER AREAS AS THEY GROW AND MATURE. AND HOW DO WE SAY THAT IN A CONCISE AND CLEAR WAY? I MEAN, YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT. OUR FIRST STATEMENT, YOU KNOW, TO EQUIP OUR STUDENTS WITH THE THE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, THE SUPPORT, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS THAT'LL PREPARE THEM FOR SUCCESS.

[02:30:05]

CAN YOU PLEASE GO TO THE SLIDE THAT HAS THE FOUR FROM OUR OUR TEAM.

THE WHAT. THE FOUR. THE FOUR FROM OUR. THERE WE GO.

THANK YOU. TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD THROUGH INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTION, SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND STRONG PARTNERSHIPS. OUR MISSION IS TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD THROUGH INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTION, SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.

WE HAVE TO ADD THAT FOURTH ONE. THE CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION. STRONG PARTNERSHIPS.

YEAH. SO WHEN YOU SEE, WHEN YOU HEAR. YEAH. SO SO I MEAN LIKE SO I THINK AGAIN AND MAYBE YOU CAN HELP THE THIS ONE TO ME TALKS MORE ABOUT THE FACILITIES AND RESOURCES.

NO OR NO. YEAH. IT IT HAS SOMEWHAT TO DO WITH THAT.

WHAT WHAT I SEE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES ALSO WOULD BE YOUR YOUR PROTOCOL, YOUR PROCEDURES, YOUR PRACTICES IN THE DISTRICT THAT NO MATTER WHO'S IN THE SEAT, THESE PRACTICES OR PROCEDURES, PROTOCOLS STILL REMAIN THE SAME.

THE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES. RIGHT. BUT THAT BUT IT INCLUDES THE BUILDING, THE HEART, YOU KNOW, THE HEART STRUCTURE, THE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS ALSO.

SO WHEN I SEE THAT, I SEE. SO WHAT DO WE WHAT WHAT WILL WE WHAT WILL WE DO IN OUR DISTRICT AS A PRACTICE THAT IS GOING TO LAST THROUGHOUT GENERATIONS, RIGHT. WHETHER WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE HERE OR NOT? YES. YES, SIR. TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD.

SOUNDS FUNNY. WHOLE CHILD. WHOLE STUDENT. I DON'T LIKE WHOLE CHILD.

EITHER. TO EDUCATE STUDENTS. TO EDUCATE EVERY STUDENT.

OKAY. EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS. WE SAY TO EQUIP. IT'S MORE THAN JUST ACADEMICS. IT'S THINGS OUTSIDE OF ACADEMICS. THEY NEED TO THRIVE OR BE SUCCESSFUL.

TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS. OKAY. WELL, WE ARE AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

EVERY STUDENT, EVERY STUDENT. I SAID WHOLE STUDENT.

I MEANT ALL PARTS OF THEM. YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT.

YEAH, I KNOW, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN GET TO EDUCATE EVERY STUDENT.

PERIOD. GOOD NIGHT. WE ARE. WE ARE SCHOOLS RIGHT THROUGH OR WITH SOMETHING? ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING? ARE WE GOING TO DO WELL TO EDUCATE EVERY STUDENT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD? EXCELLENCE IS A STANDARD. STANDARD. SO WE TALKED ABOUT WELL WE TALKED ABOUT INNOVATION EARLIER.

IS THAT IN THAT'S IN THERE. SO INNOVATION THE WE TALKED ABOUT AND I MEAN I THINK BEING CONCISE AND CLEAR.

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT TOO. I DON'T KNOW. I LIKE A QUIP BECAUSE WE'RE NOT JUST EDUCATING THEM TO JUST BE IN SCHOOL, WE'RE EQUIPPING THEM TO BE GO BEYOND. BEYOND ACADEMICS.

AND I MEAN, MAYBE THEY GO ON TO HIGHER ACADEMICS, BUT MAYBE THEY DON'T.

MAYBE THEY GO INTO THE COMMUNITY. MAYBE THEY GO TO A TRADE SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN WE WHEN WE DID THE LISTENING THING, I, THE ONE THAT I WAS AT, A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT, HEY, MY KIDS NOT GOING TO COLLEGE. MY KID. WHAT CAN THEY YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SCHOOL.

I MEAN, MY SON DIDN'T. ONE OF MY BOYS ISN'T IN COLLEGE, BUT TO EQUIP THEM WITH THE ABILITY TO GO TO COLLEGE, TO GO TO TRADE SCHOOL OR GO STRAIGHT INTO THE WORKFORCE.

YEAH. AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT IT TAKES TO DO THAT.

THERE'S FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES RIGHT HERE IN THIS ZIP CODE FOR FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE A SKILL.

SO IS THE MISSION STATEMENT SHOULD BE WHAT WE SEE THAT GRADUATING STUDENT HAVING AS THEY LEAVE OUR DISTRICT.

[02:35:02]

IT DEFINES ITS PURPOSE AND KEY OBJECTIVES THAT WE SEEK TO ACHIEVE.

A CLEAR MISSION HELPS GUIDE OUR DECISIONS, STRATEGIES, ACTIONS.

WITHOUT A MISSION, ORGANIZATION CAN EASILY LOSE FOCUS AND DRIFT AIMLESSLY.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE WHAT ARE WE FOCUSED ON? WOULD IT BE BENEFICIAL TO HEAR WHAT OUR CURRENT MISSION STATEMENT IS? YES. TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO A SUPERIOR EDUCATION THROUGH INSPIRED LEADERSHIP AMONG PARENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND STAFF. ALLOWING STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL TO PARTICIPATE IN FUTURE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY.

THAT'S THE LONGEST SENTENCE. REALLY LONG SENTENCE. SO TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO A SUPERIOR EDUCATION THROUGH INSPIRED LEADERSHIP AMONG PARENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND STAFF.

ALLOWING STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL TO PARTICIPATE IN FUTURE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, I THINK WE'LL ALL AGREE THAT WE'RE HERE TO EDUCATE AND EDUCATE KIDS, EDUCATE AND PREPARE THEM FOR WHATEVER'S NEXT.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD JUST ADOPT THAT STATEMENT AGAIN.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. I THINK IT'S SO LONG. THE ONE WE HAVE.

NO, IT'S IT'S TOO LONG. BUT THE SUBMISSION PROBABLY IS WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

YOU CAN PROBABLY PARE THAT DOWN TO SOMETHING THAT IS CLEAR AND CONCISE.

IT WAS PROBABLY THAT SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WERE SAYING, I WANT THIS, I WANT THAT.

THEY. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH, YEAH, I'LL TAKE A STAB AT IT.

IT'S CALLED EDITING BY COMMITTEE. ALL RIGHT. I'LL TAKE A STAB AT IT.

YOU REMEMBER IT? YEAH, SURE. YEAH, I CAN, I THINK I CAN.

OKAY. BECAUSE HE'S THE SAME. FIRST OPENING WORDS IS TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO SUPERIOR TO A SUPERIOR EDUCATION, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S A LOT LIKE OUR VISION STATEMENT, THOUGH. I MEAN, WE HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION. I WAS GETTING THAT.

I WAS GETTING THAT LIKE THE, YOU KNOW, CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES, RIGHT? WE WANT KIDS WHEN THEY LEAVE US TO HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES. SO I CAN GO TO DUKE UNIVERSITY OR I CAN GO TO WHARTON JUNIOR COLLEGE, OR I CAN BECOME I CAN GO TO JIFFY LUBE. LIKE, I HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

SO I'M PREPARED FOR THOSE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

BECAUSE THE MISSION IS TO PRODUCE HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

RIGHT. TO PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL AND AFTER. AFTER GRADUATION? YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE MISSION IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR END RESULT, IS IT NOT? YEAH. WHAT WE CAN SAY TO EDUCATE. JOE SAYS HE LIKES IT, BUT WHAT WAS THAT MR. HUBENAK ABOUT? YES. SO? SO SO HELP ME WITH THAT.

DRAFT THEIR SECOND. EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO SUPERIOR EDUCATION.

SO STUDENTS. CAN YOU SAY I SAY IT TWICE, RIGHT.

YEAH. ENSURING ENSURING ACCESS TO A SUPERIOR EDUCATION SO THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK HALF OF IT, BUT THE FIRST HALF WERE JUST REPEATING, YEAH, I'LL JUST I'LL JUST REPEAT THE FIRST THING YOU. COULD SAY WE COULD EDUCATE AND PREPARE OR EDUCATE AND EQUIP.

YEAH. OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS TO EDUCATE AND EQUIP STUDENTS TO HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION. YES.

TEAM. I THINK BECAUSE OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS ACADEMICS, BUT WE ALSO WANT THEM TO HAVE QUALITIES BEYOND ACADEMICS TO SUCCEED.

I WOULDN'T MIND SEE IT WRITTEN DOWN. I MEAN, SURE, IT'S IT'S ONE OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

IT'S EASIER TO. YEAH, YEAH. GRASP. CAN YOU SEE IT? I AGREE. WE ARE VISUAL LEARNERS. WE MUST BE.

SO WE HAVE EVERY STUDENT VERSUS ALL STUDENTS CONVERSATION A MINUTE AGO.

SO I'M GOING TO NEED SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE TEAM TO EDUCATE.

AND THEN THE KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT AND SKILLS IS ANOTHER THING TO TO EDUCATE ROOSEVELT.

YES, SIR. TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS. TO EDUCATE.

THIRD TIME. YES, SIR. TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS SO THEY WILL HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON

[02:40:01]

SO THEY WHAT? SO THEY WILL HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

YOU CAN SAY POST LCISD OR UPON GRADUATION. BUT WHEN THEY LEAVE LCISD THEY'LL HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE REAL WORLD.

SUCCESS IN THE REAL WORLD.

UPON GRADUATING. YES. GRADUATING FROM GRADUATION.

EITHER ONE, EITHER ONE. I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT THAT THAT ASSUMES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GRADUATE, RIGHT? GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES WHEN YOU GRADUATE, ONE GRADUATION, ONE GRADUATING DOESN'T MATTER.

SO TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS SO THEY WILL HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON.

CAN WE ELABORATE IN THERE SOMEWHERE? CAN WE SAY TO EDUCATE AND EQUIP WITH BLAH BLAH BLAH, OR TO EDUCATE AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS? YOUR POINT EARLIER WAS TO, TO PROVIDE OR TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT AND SKILLS OR ANYTHING. I MEAN, JUST EQUIP THEM WITH SKILLS OR I DON'T KNOW, WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

YOU KNOW, IN IN ONE OF THE PRIORITIES IT TALKED ABOUT NOT LIFE SKILLS.

WHAT WAS IT? ONE OF THE PRIORITIES. TALKED ABOUT EQUIPPING STUDENTS WITH SKILLS FOR LIFE OR SKILLS FOR LIVING. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I WONDER IF HE SAID SOMETHING.

I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COLLEGE CAREER IN LIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? YEAH. TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS OR TO EDUCATE ALL STUDENTS.

PREPARE. PREPARE WHATEVER. OKAY. PREPARE ALL STUDENTS.

NOT MY VISION STATEMENT. ALL STUDENTS SEEMS VERY BASIC.

NO, I JUST I'M LIKE, MR. HUBENAK OVER HERE, I LIKE IT.

IT'S TO THE POINT. I LIKE IT, IT'S TO THE POINT.

IT'S NOT TO. YEAH. AND THAT WAS TOO FLOWERY OR ANYTHING.

MISSION STATEMENT SHOULD BE CLEAR, CONCISE AND FOCUSED.

RIGHT. YOU SAY TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. SO THEY. SO THEY HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

NOT WILL HAVE BUT. NEEDED TO PURSUE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

TO. TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS. WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS SO THEY HAVE SO THEY MAY PURSUE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

UPON GRADUATION, PURSUE CHOICES. MEANINGFUL CHOICES.

THEY HAVE. HAVE CHOICES. HAVE CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

UPON GRADUATION AND CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.

SO ANOTHER WORD FOR CHOICE CONNECTION NOW, RIGHT? IT'S THINKING ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BAY AND CHOICES.

WHAT'S GOING TO BE FILLING THAT INSTEAD OF SAYING THEY WILL HAVE CHOICE AND OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT TO SAY WHAT. SO THEY HAVE. SO THEY I MEAN WE WANT THEM TO GO SOMEWHERE AFTER WE WANT SOME. WE WANT THEM TO GO SOMEWHERE AFTER GRADUATION.

WE WANT THEM TO DO SOMETHING SO THEY WILL HAVE CHOICES.

THEY HAVE A CHOICE TO SIT ON THEIR COUCH. BUT WE SO THEY WILL SO THAT THEY WILL PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND AND OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THEY PURSUE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE CHOICES.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHOICE. YOU CAN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE NAUGHTY OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE NOT NAUGHTY. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. YOU CAN. BUT WE WANT THEM TO MAKE CHOICES TO GO.

AND THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID. SO THEY WILL HAVE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

SO BECAUSE I MEAN WE WANT THOSE CHOICES TO BE MEANINGFUL OR.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE THE WORD HAVE. SO THEY PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING AFTER SOMETHING. THEY HAVE TO GO FOR THEM TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL, THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. SO THEY PURSUE, SO THEY PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

[02:45:05]

OKAY. TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN ORDER TO IN ORDER TO PURSUE? I THINK NOT, SO THEY JUST DOESN'T SEEM VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEM.

THERE YOU GO. SO PERSONAL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PURSUE CHOICES ON OPPORTUNITIES UPON PHONE GRADUATION.

SET FOR MEANINGFUL CHOICES OR CHOICES. MEANINGFUL CHOICES WITH MEANINGFUL CHOICES.

GANG. WHO'S NOT OKAY WITH IT? I'M NOT AGAINST IT.

I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON'S JIFFY LUBE.

I WANT TO MAKE A CAREER OF IT AS ANOTHER PERSON'S WASTED LIFE.

THAT'S THEIR MEANING. YEAH, YEAH. WRITE IT DOWN.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. OR CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES WE'RE GIVING.

AND IT'S UPON THEM TO MAKE THE MEANING. SO. BUT WRITE IT DOWN.

WRITE IT DOWN. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT. I'M JUST TRYING NOT TO BE BIG THINKING CHOICES.

MEANINGFUL CHOICES MEANS WE HAVE MORE THAT WE HAVE.

WE THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT, YOU KNOW, FOR FOR MY KIDS MEANINGFUL AT JIFFY LUBE? MAYBE THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD. AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, SO IT'S IT'S DEPENDS ON DEPENDS ON PERSPECTIVE.

NOTHING PREPARED OR EQUIPPED. TO PREPARE. I'M NOT PREPARING THEM.

PREPARE WITH KNOWLEDGE. EQUIP, PROVIDE. EQUIP WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

YOU DON'T PREPARE WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. I THINK IT'S CLEANER TO SAY TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS FOR THEM TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO PREPARE THEM FOR THEM TO PURSUE.

I WOULD PREPARE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN ORDER TO PURSUE A CAREER.

PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO PURSUE.

PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

THERE YOU GO. EQUIP AND PREPARE. SAY THAT AGAIN.

TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION AND ON A POSTER.

WE WOULD PUT THAT WITH THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE.

LIKE IF WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE WOULD HAVE THAT ON THERE WITH IT TO BE MORE EXPLANATORY.

I WOULD THINK, LIKE IF WE CREATED A PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, WE WOULD TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND PUT IT ON THERE, BUT WITH MORE VISUALS OF WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS.

MORE DETAILS. AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EVERYONE HEAR WHAT JOE SAID? YOU SAY IT AGAIN, PLEASE.

MY WIFE MUST BE WATCHING BECAUSE SHE JUST TEXTED ME.

YOU SAID TO EQUIP AND PREPARE. YES. GOOD. TELL HER I'M GONNA READ HERS AS WELL.

OKAY. TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION, OR TO PREPARE STUDENTS WITH A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION THAT ENSURES THEY ARE PREPARED FOR THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

YES. I LIKE I WAS JUST THINKING, OH, I THINK YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

THAT'S GOOD. OTHERS. LET ME TRY THAT ONE OUT.

ARE WE OKAY WITH EQUIP AND PREPARE? ANYONE NOT OKAY WITH THAT.

OKAY, SO. STAY ON THE PATH. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[02:50:06]

I'M NOT SURE I LIKE A VARIETY. YEAH, BUT WE CAN FIDDLE WITH THAT.

IT'S YOUR YOUR STATEMENT TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

WHAT DID YOU SAY, JOE? THE REST OF US NEEDED TO PURSUE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES UPON GRADUATION.

I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH VARIETY. YEAH. PURSUIT IS HERE TO PURSUE.

MEANINGFUL. MEANINGFUL OR LIMITLESS. MEANINGFUL OR LIMITLESS.

MEANINGFUL. SPINE. MEANINGFUL. WHAT? MEANINGFUL.

WHAT? CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES. MEANINGFUL. WHAT? TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO WITH CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES. YOU WANT SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S WHAT HE'S ASKING.

NO. GO WITH IT. OKAY. I. HE'S WAITING FOR US TO THINKING.

FIRST THING, WE NEED MORE AFTER GRADUATION. CAN YOU GRADUATE AFTER GRADUATION? AFTER GRADUATION? YES, BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO GET HIM TO THAT POINT AND PREPARE HIM FOR THE NEXT AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT.

OKAY. OKAY, SO OUR CURRENT DRAFT OF A MISSION IS TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION. GOOD. OUR CURRENT ONE CURRENT STATEMENT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT FULL POTENTIAL.

DO WE CARE ABOUT THAT? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED? BUT IF THEY'RE GETTING READY FOR MEANINGFUL, MEANINGFUL CHOICES, IT'S GOING TO BE THAT.

AND THAT'S THE SAME THING. YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK MEANINGFUL, MEANINGFUL GETS IT TO ME BECAUSE A STUDENT WHO HAS SOME CHALLENGES VERSUS A STUDENT WHO'S BORN ON THIRD BASE, MEANINGFUL, MEANINGFUL IS GOING TO MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS TO EACH SCENARIO.

GOOD. I SAY IT'S GOOD TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION. IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW.

WITH ONLY HALF THE WORDS. I TOLD HER TO TAKE THE OLD ONE AND PUT IT IN THE EYE AND SEE WHAT IT SPIT OUT.

SO A VISION OF WE ARE A VALUE DRIVEN COMMUNITY WHERE INNOVATION THRIVES.

EXCELLENCE IS THE STANDARD AND EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE? TO EQUIP, EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION.

AND SO BY DOING THAT, WE WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EMPLOYEES WANT TO WORK, WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO STAY HERE.

IS THAT IMPLIED? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF THE STRAT PLAN THAT WAS CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE MEETINGS, IS THAT EMPLOYEES AND CHOOSING TO WORK HERE? YEAH.

SO THAT WOULD BE A BYPRODUCT OF THAT. CAN I MAKE IT LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE INSPIRING? AND Y'ALL CAN TELL ME IF IT SUCKS. IT'S OKAY.

BUT TO EQUIP EVERY STUDENT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION SITUATION AND TO BOLDLY SHAPE FUTURES FILLED WITH PURPOSE, POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT. IT'S YOUR PIZZAZZ AT THE END.

THAT'S YOUR CATCH. THAT'S YOUR. I MEAN, THAT WORKS.

IT'S YOUR PIECE. YEAH. IT'S GOT IT'S THAT IT'S THAT POP THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT MORE SO THAN BE THE LEGACY OR SAY, THE LAST SENTENCE AND AFTER GRADUATION AND TO BOLDLY SHAPE FUTURES FILLED WITH PURPOSE, POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT.

I LIKE THE IMPACT. AND ARE. AND ARE YOU YOUR EVERY STUDENT? NOT AN ALL STUDENTS PERSON, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T MATTER.

DOESN'T MATTER. OKAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER. ME EITHER.

[02:55:02]

MAYBE WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL CHOICES AND OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION, AND TO BOLDLY SHAPED FUTURES FILLED WITH PURPOSE, POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT.

TO MY EAR, HEARING IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE. AND TO BOLDLY SHAPE FUTURES FILLED WITH PURPOSE.

POSSIBILITY. SORRY. SHAPE. FUTURES. FUTURES SHAPED FUTURES.

FUTURES. FILLED WITH PURPOSE. POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT.

SAYING THE SAME THING. MAYBE YOU COULD USE YOUR PART OF THE BOTTOM.

THE TOP. PURPOSE, POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT AND IMPACT.

IS IT THE SAME THING? I DON'T, I DON'T. WELL.

MORE OR LESS. TO EQUIP AND PREPARE ALL STUDENTS TO BOLDLY SHAPE FUTURES FILLED WITH PURPOSE, POSSIBILITY AND IMPACT. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FEEL LIKE.

I THINK THE FIRST PART IS REALLY BASIC, AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS REALLY NOT BASIC.

LIKE, LIKE. I KIND OF I KIND OF LIKE THIS THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE THE GRADUATION.

AND AFTER THEY GRADUATE BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

YOU HAVE A BEGINNING, A MIDDLE AND AN END.

I LIKE IT. WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN WHEN THEY CAME TO US.

YEAH. AND AND AND LIVE, LIVE A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE AFTER LEAVING HERE.

YES. AND THAT GOES BACK TO THAT. THAT GOES BACK TO THE WHOLE CHILD.

BECAUSE IF I'M JUST PROVIDING KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR BRAIN.

I'M NOT. I'M NOT PROVIDING THE DEVELOPMENT TO LIVE A PURPOSE FILLED LIFE.

THEY'RE NOT TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES. SOMEBODY IS TAKING CARE OF THEM.

LET'S FACE IT. THERE EITHER SOCIETY OR THEIR PARENTS THAT ARE PRESENT.

LAMBERT. I THINK WE GOT TWO GOOD STATEMENTS THAT WE CAN LET OUR AP TEACHERS.

TO GIVE TO YOUR ENGLISH TEACHERS. YEAH. SO IF IF WE CAN LIVE WITH THIS, THEN THE NEXT STEPS ARE TO APPROVE THIS ON MAY THE 5TH, TO APPROVE BOTH VISION AND MISSION AND THEN APPROVE THE THE OVERALL STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND THEN THE FINAL STEP IS TO IMPLEMENT THIS HIGH PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS.

THE BOARD THEN WILL, WILL WILL DEFINE AND ADOPT THEIR OWN GOALS.

THE BOARD'S GOALS WILL THEN DRIVE SUPERINTENDENT GOALS.

SUPERINTENDENT GOALS THEN DRIVE SCHOOL LEADER.

SCHOOL SITE AND SCHOOL LEADER GOALS THAT DRIVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TEACHER GOALS.

AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM? SO WHAT HAPPENS? YOU CAN'T HAVE A FUNCTIONAL CLASSROOM IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FUNCTIONAL BOARDROOM.

AND WE WANT OUR TEACHERS TO HAVE THEIR, THEIR LESSON PLANS.

WE WANT THEM TO HAVE GOALS THAT STARTS WITH YOU AND COMES ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT, THROUGH THE PRINCIPALS, THROUGH THE TEACHERS, TO THE KIDS. THAT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE OF 20 YEARS.

AND AND WATCHING OTHER FOLKS IN HIGH PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS.

QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? SUGGESTIONS. SO IF WE GIVE THIS TO SONIA, MAYBE SHE COULD TAKE THE SPIRIT OF IT AND MAKE LIKE A FEW OTHER.

YES SHE CAN. SHE CAN TAKE THIS AND MAKE AND MAKE SOME OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER.

SHE CAN TAKE THIS AND MAKE ONE OPTION SHE CAN DO.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN HER WORK. SHE CAN DO WHATEVER. OKAY. YEAH.

YEAH. SO THE DIRECTION OF THE BOARD. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT HER TO TAKE THESE TWO AND COME UP WITH MULTIPLE OPTIONS OF EACH ONE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AND, LIKE, VOTE ON ONE. OR DO YOU WANT HER TO HAVE ONE ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR THE MISSION? ONE ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR THE VISION IS BASICALLY JUST HOW THE BOARD WANTS IS WHAT WE CAN DO.

EVERY OPTION ON THE. STATEMENT HAS TO HAVE WE IN IT.

GOTCHA. AND JUST CLEAN IT UP AND MAKE IT TIGHTER.

SHE NEEDS TO WE KNOW SHE'S THERE MIGHT BE OTHER WORDS OUT THERE THAT WE DIDN'T USE THAT WOULD.

[03:00:07]

OKAY. AND DON'T GO TOO DEEP INTO IT. TOO MANY CHOICES.

YES, SIR. I GOT YOU. SO IS MAY 5TH FOR THE WHOLE BOARD.

MAY 5TH IS. THAT'S OUR. MAY 5TH IS THE. IS WHEN WE.

IS WHEN THE BOARD APPROVES THE ENTIRE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE MISSION, VISION, CORE VALUES, PRIORITIES, THE WHOLE PLAN. THEN AFTER THAT, IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT PYRAMID FOR.
