May 09, 2023 Facilities Committee Meeting

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]

[00:00:04]

YOU'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO THAT.

I KNOW. WE'RE ALL IN OUR PLACES.

WE KNOW.

GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S 3:03.

AND THIS IS THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES COMMITTEE MEETING FOR TUESDAY, MAY THE 9TH, 2023.

IT'S A 3 P.M.

MEETING. BEFORE WE START, CALL THE TO ORDER AND DETERMINE THERE IS A QUORUM.

I'M GOING TO LET OUR BOARD PRESIDENT, MR. JOHNSON, MAKE A COMMENT.

THANK YOU COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN BEACH.

I JUST WANTED TO FIRST START OFF BY THANKING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITIES OF GARLAND, ROWLETT AND SACHSE FOR SHOWING UP IN SUCH DROVES FOR THE 2023 BOND. I PROMISE YOU GUYS, THE COMMITMENT THAT THIS THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE MADE IN OUR DISTRICT IS GOING TO NOT ONLY CHANGE OUR DISTRICT, THE FACE OF OUR DISTRICT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE THE BEST SHOT IN THE ARM FOR OUR THREE CITIES THAT ANYTHING COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

AND SO I COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF OUR CITIES.

I COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF OUR STAFF, INCLUDING THE GREAT DR.

LOPEZ, FOR ALL THE EFFORTS THEY MADE.

I DON'T I CAN'T EVEN COUNT THE NUMBER OF TOWN HALLS THAT WERE HAD WITH RESPECT TO THIS.

BUT NO ONE CAN SAY THAT WE DID NOT HAVE AN INFORMED COMMUNITY COMING INTO THIS BOND.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR.

LOPEZ, FOR YOUR EFFORT.

I APPRECIATE IT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ISSUE OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO TRUSTEE DAPHNE STANLEY AND TRUSTEE JAMIE MILLER FOR THEIR REELECTIONS TO THE BOARD.

I PERSONALLY WAS EXTREMELY GLAD ON SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN ALL THE ELECTIONS WERE OVER.

I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL WERE TOO.

SO WITHOUT THAT, WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, I TURN IT BACK OVER TO CHAIRMAN BEACH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS MEETING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE WE OPEN UP THE MEETING? I'M GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT.

FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK STAFF.

I SAW YOU FOLKS AT THE POLLS.

YOUR WORKS AS FAR AS CALLING PEOPLE ON YOUR FACEBOOK, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAD A PART IN THIS BEING A SUCCESSFUL BOND PROGRAM.

AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE KIND OF TEAM AND THE EFFORT THAT WE HAVE IN GISD AND THE FAMILY THAT WE DO HAVE.

I'M VERY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SERVE AS A TRUSTEE WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE KIDS OF THIS DISTRICT.

IT REALLY WARMS MY HEART.

AND SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART PERSONALLY FOR WHAT ALL OF YOU DID THIS THIS PAST WEEK.

IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALSO, THE COMMITTEE, THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS.

AND IT WAS JUST A TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING OF LOVE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER AND WE'LL START WITH THE PUBLIC FORUM.

MICHELLE DO WE HAVE ANYTHING PUBLIC CARDS? NO, SIR. OKAY.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

WE'RE APPROACHING THE LAST CYCLE OF GRADING.

AND BEFORE WE KNOW IT, WE WILL BE THROUGH WITH SCHOOL.

I DO WANT TO SEND A HEARTFELT PRAYERS.

BECAUSE OF AT COX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THEY LOST TWO STUDENTS IN THE TRAGIC EVENT THAT HAPPENED AT THE ALLEN OUTLET MALLS.

ONE OF THEIR PARENTS IS STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

PLEASE SEND A LOT OF PRAYERS TO THE FAMILIES.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A GO FUND ME, WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT THIS.

THIS IS NEEDLESS AND I JUST CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW DISGUSTED I AM, BUT THAT SOMEONE WOULD EVEN THINK OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY TO INNOCENT BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN.

SO WE JUST WANT TO LET THE WILEY FAMILY KNOW WE'RE WITH THEM.

UM, I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY PERSONALLY AND THE BOARD AND EVERYBODY THAT HAD BEEN BEHIND THE BOND.

WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.

ALL THREE PROPOSITIONS PASSED, AND AS PROMISED, WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT, I WOULD SAY, ENDEAVORS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING ACTUALLY THIS SUMMER WITH A FEW OF THE PROJECTS.

THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT THE BOARD WILL YOU'LL BE SEEING DOING TO ALLOW US TO EXPEDITE SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS SO WE COULD START GETTING GETTING IN FRONT OF A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND AVOID INFLATION RATES.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO OUR CHAIRPERSON, BEACH.

THANK YOU, DR. LOPEZ.

WE'RE GOING TO THEN MOVE ON TO ITEM 4A, INFORMATION ITEMS.

[IV. A. Information Items]

MR. BOOKER. YES, SIR.

TO MR. BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TO DR.

LOPEZ. WE HAVE BEFORE YOU THE MAY CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT.

[00:05:03]

BEFORE YOU ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE MAY CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU, MR. BOOKER. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON THEN TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, REVIEW THE MARCH 2023 MONTHLY FINANCIALS.

MS. DAVENPORT. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN BEACH BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. LOPEZ, BEFORE YOU ARE THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN AS WELL AS SIR TWO AND ESSER 3RD MARCH FINANCIAL REPORT.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE YOU LOOK AT THAT.

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. MR. GRIFFIN. YES, ON THE ESSER FUNDS, WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT AND WE HAD APPROVED THOSE DOLLARS BEING SPENT FOR THOSE PARTICULAR CAUSES AND IT'S GONE UP THE CHANNEL TO BE APPROVED AT THE STATE LEVEL AND I'M NOTICING THAT WE WE HAVE A LOT OF LOOK LIKE ADDITIONAL I, I DON'T WANT TO SAY EXTRA BECAUSE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EXTRA MONEY.

EXTRA MONEY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T USED THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNTS FOR MANY OF THESE SPECIFIC ITEMS. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW THAT IS GOING TO COME BACK TO US FOR REALLOCATION OR DO YOU DO REALLOCATIONS? HOW IS THAT DONE? IS THE MONEY STILL THERE? BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO TO PURCHASE WHATEVER WAS AGREED ON THAT'S IN THIS APPROVED LIST.

JUST TELL ME WHERE WE ARE AND THEN REMIND ME OF WHEN THE ESSER TWO AND THREE MONEY EXPIRES.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE THERE'S TWO PAGES INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.

ONE OF THEM IS ESSER TWO AND THEN THE OTHER ONE ESSER THREE.

ESSER TWO DOES END ON SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2023 AND THEN ESSER THREE ENDS A YEAR LATER, SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2024.

SO OUR BIG FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS ON ESSER TWO ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE, THE INTERNET ITSELF, THE INITIAL ESSER TWO PLAN PLUS THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE MADE IN OCTOBER AFTER SOME DEPARTMENTS DETERMINED THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, JUST TO THE EXACT REASONS YOU SAY THEY COULDN'T SPEND THE MONEY OR MAYBE THERE HAD BEEN CHANGES IN PLANS.

SO WE ARE MEETING THIS WEEK ACTUALLY TO REVIEW ANY REMAINING DOLLARS.

WE WILL NOT THERE'S ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY IN THESE DOLLARS THAT WE WILL NOT LEAVE $1 UNSPENT, BUT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AWARDED IT, THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH EACH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS AND THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO SPEND THOSE MONIES.

AND IF THEY'RE NOT, THEN WE REALLOCATE THEM TO A DIFFERENT AREA.

AND HOW WILL THE REALLOCATION HAPPEN? WILL NEW DEPARTMENTS ENTER THAT OR WILL WE STAY WITHIN THOSE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND REASSIGN THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? THE ESSER THREE FUND DOES REQUIRE 20% OF THE MONEY AT A MINIMUM TO BE SPENT ON LEARNING LOSS.

AND SO THAT'S THAT IS ONE REQUIREMENT.

IN ADDITION, BOTH OF THEM DO ALLOW YOU TO SUPPLANT FUNDING.

AND SO NOT EVERYTHING SUPPLEMENTAL WE WILL WE HAD INITIALLY ALLOWED THE DEPARTMENTS TO REALLOCATE WITHIN THEMSELVES.

AND SO I THINK AT THIS POINT NOW WHERE IF DEPARTMENTS CANNOT SPEND THAT AND IT'S FEDERALLY COMPLIANT, WE WOULD THEN LOOK AND WE WILL REFER TO OUR CHIEFS AND OUR ROUNDTABLE FOR THE ULTIMATE APPROVAL ON THOSE ITEMS. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I THINK WE NEED TO LET THEM KNOW THE MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE USED.

WE PUT IN RETENTION STIPENDS FOR OUR TEACHERS AND THAT'S HOW THE IT WENT FROM 2000 TO 4200 TO DO THE RETENTION.

THAT'S HOW THE RETENTION STIPEND.

BUT THE RETENTION STIPEND IS ON THIS SHEET.

YEAH. SO, SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS PART OF HOW IT WENT UP WAS THE UNUSED MONEY AND WITHIN THE ESSER FOR THE FUTURE.

ONE FOR ESSER THREE ESSER THREE YES.

YEAH, YEAH. BUT IT'S RECORDED HERE.

SO THE RETENTION STIPENDS FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR, THE YEAR WE'RE FINISHING, WE'RE PAID OUT OF ESSER TWO AND THEN THE FIRST YEAR OF RETENTION STIPENDS AND THE LAST YEAR WILL BE PAID FROM OUR ESSER THREE FUND.

OKAY. AND IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE COUNTRY, DO WE HAVE NEW AREAS OF CONCERN THAT WE CAN ALLOCATE FUNDS OR PURCHASE SOMETHING FOR CRITICAL NEEDS THAT WAS NOT HERE AND NOT WAS NOT APPROVED INITIALLY? I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT TO THE MEETING.

YOU ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO.

YEAH, I CAN RESPOND TO THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MEET ON FRIDAY TO ADDRESS WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE WITH ESSER TWO, SINCE WE DO HAVE A TIGHT TIMELINE ON THE ENDING DATE FOR THAT AND ANY UNALLOCATED DOLLARS WILL

[00:10:05]

BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WE HAD MORE ESSER ASK THAN WE WERE ABLE TO ALLOCATE INITIALLY.

SO WE'RE SITTING WITH A PENDING LIST OF SOME SORT.

IS THAT TRUE OR FALSE? THAT'S CORRECT. WE STILL HAVE THAT PENDING LIST THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DRAW FROM AND PULL FROM.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO MEET TOGETHER AS A TEAM ON FRIDAY TO COME UP WITH THOSE ADDITIONAL ALLOCATIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU BOTH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. MILLER? I DO HAVE ONE. MS. DAVENPORT, I WANTED TO ASK YOU, WHEN WE LOOK AT FYI 23 BUDGET AND WE LOOK AT FYI 23 ACTUALS.

YOU'RE ON THIS..

I'M ON PAGE NINE.

OKAY. YES.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT AND I READ UP ABOVE THERE, THIS IS THE NINTH MONTH OF OUR FY 23 FISCAL YEAR.

OKAY. SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE THREE MORE YEARS IN THIS BUDGET WILL BE OVER THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED.

IF THEY DON'T COME, IF THE ACTUALS COME IN UNDER THAT, DOES IT GO BACK INTO THAT ACCOUNT NUMBER THERE FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR? WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE FUNDS? IT GOES INTO OUR FUND BALANCE.

AND SO THAT WILL YOU'LL SEE THAT EITHER AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN FUND BALANCE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

AND SO THEN THE BUDGET TEAM WOULD BRING YOU BACK ANY IF AMENDMENTS OR POSSIBLY IT STAYS THERE FOR A FUTURE PROJECT.

BUT IT WOULD JUST STAY IN FUND BALANCE UNTIL THE BOARD THEN APPROVES TO SPEND THAT MONEY ELSEWHERE.

OKAY. SO IT'S IT COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL IN SOME CASES BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT EVEN HITTING 70% ON ANYTHING HARDLY, EXCEPT FOR OUR TRANSFER OUT DOWN THERE. BUT YES, SO IT COULD BE I MEAN, DO WE LOOK DO WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HIT EACH ONE OF THOSE NUMBERS RIGHT ON THE ON THE MONEY, OR ARE WE GOING TO BE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE LESS OR WE ARE PROJECTING THAT WE WILL HIT ALL OF THOSE NUMBERS? IT'S HARD TO SAY. PAYROLL IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ACCOUNTS WE HAVE SPENDING CUT OFF FOR ACCOUNTS THAT ARE NON PAYROLL ACCOUNTS.

RIGHT. BECAUSE SO LIKE YOUR CONTRACTED SERVICES, YOUR SUPPLIES.

AND SO THOSE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT DEPENDENT ON THE SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT.

BUT WE DO. AND THEN THERE'S, OF COURSE, THE PAYROLL SAVES.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT, BUT WE WILL.

THE PROJECTED BUDGET IS A BETTER PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE THAN YEAH.

SO I CAN KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT.

SO ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS OUR FINANCIALS ARE THIS IS FOR MARCH 31ST.

AND SO WE HAVE BEEN MAKING CHANGES TO THE BUDGET THAT ARE GOING TO CATCH UP TO SOME OF THE THINGS AS WE LEARN, WE WILL BE MAKING, AS WE TYPICALLY DO IN JUNE, SOME FINAL BUDGET AMENDMENTS. SO AND THEN THE BUDGET IS BASED ON 100% OF FIELD POSITIONS.

AND AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT EVERY MONTH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME SUBSTANTIAL SAVES IN OUR PAYROLL DUE TO OUR HIGH LEVEL OF VACANCIES.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, WE ARE STILL PROJECTING WITH OUR I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE AT WE'RE SHOWING A DEFICIT OF $72 MILLION AFTER TRANSFERS OUT.

BUT WITH OUR SAVES, WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE CLOSER TO TO A $30 MILLION DEFICIT.

SO THOSE WILL ACCOUNT AND COVER FOR SOME OF THOSE DEFICITS THERE.

YES, WELL, I'VE BEEN KIND OF LOOKING IN MY LARRY GLICK CRYSTAL BALL TO SEE KIND OF WHERE THOSE WOULD FALL, BUT THAT'S FINE.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY.

MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE, REVIEW THE MARCH 2023 TAX REPORT.

CHRISTY COOPER. GOOD AFTERNOON MR. BEACH BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ. THE ITEM YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE MARCH 2023 COLLECTION REPORT REFLECTING 97.02% COLLECTED OF THE 2022 TAX YEAR.

AS OF TODAY, WE'RE AT 97.80.

YES. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY.

GREAT JOB. ANYBODY? QUESTIONS ON THAT.

SUPER JOB. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. ITEM NUMBER FOUR RECEIVE DEMOGRAPHICS UPDATE FOR SPRING OF 2023.

BRANDI MAYO. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.

LOPEZ. I AM HERE TO INTRODUCE MR. BRANT ALEXANDER, THE DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL DISTRICT STRATEGIES, WHO PUT TOGETHER THIS WORK AND IS GOING TO PRESENT THE DETAILS.

THANK YOU, RANDY. GOOD AFTERNOON, BOARD MEMBERS.

BOARD MEMBERS. DR. LOPEZ.

AS MISS MAYO SAID, I HAVE OUR UPDATE FOR THE SPRING 23 DEMOGRAPHICS REVIEW AND MUCH OF THE ITEMS YOU'LL SEE IN THE REPORTS ARE THINGS THAT YOU ASKED ME LAST FALL TO DIG DEEPER INTO.

SO THOSE ARE INCLUDED AS MANY AS I COULD GET FINISHED TO DATE.

AND SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, AS OF APRIL 11TH, THE DISTRICT'S TOTAL ENROLLMENT WAS 52,571.

[00:15:03]

YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A MINUTE THE BREAKDOWN BY GRADE ATTENDANCE LEVEL.

BUT I WANTED YOU TO FOCUS IN ON THAT FIVE YEAR GROWTH RATE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE LAST SEVERAL PRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT THAT THE DISTRICT HAS EXPERIENCED.

YOU CAN SEE THE FIVE YEAR NET BEING DOWN JUST UNDER 7%.

WHAT'S ENCOURAGING TO SEE THIS SPRING IS THAT, YES, IF YOU LOOK OVER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, WE WOULD EXPECT THE HIGH SCHOOL NUMBERS TO BE DOWN DUE TO EARLY GRADUATION IN MIDYEAR.

BUT WHAT'S ENCOURAGING TO SEE IS PRE-K, ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL NUMBERS ARE ALL WELL, EXCUSE ME, PRE-K AND ELEMENTARY ARE UP WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL HOLDING FLAT.

SO THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD SIGN THERE GOING FORWARD.

BUT THE FIRST ITEM THAT I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THAT YOU ALL ASKED ME TO DIG FURTHER INTO WAS LOOKING AT WHAT SOME OF THE COUNTY DATA HAS SHOWN OVER THE LAST TWO CENSUS REPORTS.

SO WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS TAKEN MAINLY THE NINE MOST POPULATED COUNTIES THAT MAKE UP THE DFW AREA.

AND I'VE SHOWN YOU THE TOP TABLE THERE HAS THE TOTAL POPULATION NUMBERS, AND THEN THE BOTTOM TWO TABLES ARE FOR 18 AND OVER AND UNDER AGE 18.

SO I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT DOES HIGHLIGHT ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THE DISTRICT HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH OVER THESE LAST FEW YEARS AS ENROLLMENT HAS DECLINED. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE AT THE TOP, DALLAS COUNTY HAS GROWN 10% FROM 2010 TO 2020.

IT RANKS THIRD NUMERICALLY, BUT LAST IN PERCENTAGE GROWTH AMONG THESE NINE COUNTIES.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 18 AND OVER NUMBERS, YOU CAN SEE LOOK AT THE LOOK AT HOW MUCH DALLAS COUNTY HAS GROWN SECOND MOST IN IN OVER 18.

BUT OVER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT LOSS OF JUST UNDER 13,000 RESIDENTS UNDER AGE 18, A 2%, THE ONLY COUNTY THAT EXPERIENCED A NEGATIVE GROWTH OVER THE TEN YEAR PERIOD.

SO, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY REFLECTIVE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN BEEN SEEING.

SO IT'S ALSO RELATED IN THIS BIRTH RATE DATA THAT THIS SPRING, THE TEXAS HEALTH DEPARTMENT DID RELEASE THE 2020 DATA. SO YOU CAN SEE THE 3920, THAT'S THE TOTAL ANNUAL BIRTHS FOR 2020 THERE ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE CHART.

SO THAT'S THE LOWEST THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE AREA IN THE LAST 14 YEARS.

SO ALL OF THESE THINGS PLAY INTO THE ENROLLMENT TRENDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THESE LAST SEVERAL REPORTS.

JUST MAKE NOTE THERE AT THE BOTTOM THAT AVERAGE SHOULD BE 3376, NOT 3676.

BUT GENERALLY WE'RE WE'RE EXPECTING KINDERGARTEN TO REMAIN FLAT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

NOW, THIS DATA, I THINK, IS VERY VALUABLE FOR YOU ALL BECAUSE I TOLD YOU THAT I COULD DO AN ANALYSIS OF STUDENT IDS LOOKING AT STUDENT IDS THAT WERE PRESENT IN K THROUGH 11.

AND THEN HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO THE FOLLOWING YEAR IN GRADES ONE THROUGH 12? SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE ARE THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THAT ANALYSIS.

BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN THE BLUE BARS, THOSE ARE THE STUDENT IDS THAT ARE NO LONGER PRESENT THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS PAST YEAR FROM 21, THE FALL OF 21 TO 22, THERE WERE 56 176 TOTAL IDS THAT DID NOT MOVE UP. AND THEN THERE WERE 54 100 PLUS IDS THAT WERE NEW.

SO THIS IS ESSENTIALLY YOUR NEWCOMERS AND LEAVERS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THERE'S BEEN A NET DECLINE THAT THAT'S SMALL NET DECLINE OF LESS THAN 300.

BUT THAT COVID YEAR YOU CAN SEE 19 TO 20 WAS A DROP OF JUST UNDER 700.

ONE OF THE THE MAIN THINGS HERE IS IT'S POINTING OUT THAT THE BLUE BARS ARE SHOWING THAT ABOUT 9 TO 10% OF.

YOUR ENROLLED STUDENTS ARE NOT CARRYING ON TO THE NEXT YEAR EVERY YEAR.

IT'S THAT KIND OF CHURN.

NOW THEY'RE BEING REPLACED, BUT THEY'RE NOT BEING REPLACED BY JUST A FRACTION BELOW WHAT'S LEAVING.

SO AND THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSED THAT SLOW DECLINE OVER THE LAST 4 OR 5 YEARS OR CONTRIBUTED TO IT AT LEAST.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE ASKED ME WHAT WITH THE NEWCOMERS, WHERE ARE THEY? ARE THEY COMING FROM INSIDE THE BOUNDARY? ARE THEY COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY? WELL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT 5404 COLUMN THERE ON THE RIGHT, 97% OF THOSE MOVED INSIDE THE BOUNDARY.

[00:20:03]

A LITTLE MORE THAN 97% ARE GOING OUT.

SO IT'S IT'S TURNOVER INSIDE THE BOUNDARY.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE CHANGES OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY, EVEN THOUGH YOU ALL ARE ADDING MORE THROUGH OPEN ENROLLMENT, AS YOU'LL SEE FROM THE GEOCODING HERE IN A MINUTE.

NOW, LOOKING DEEPER INTO THIS NEWCOMER AND LEVER DATA, I'VE PUT THIS SLIDE TOGETHER THAT SHOWS YOU A COMPARISON OF, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK THERE ON THE FAR RIGHT FROM 21 TO 22, YOU'VE GOT YOUR ELEMENTARY LOS IDS VERSUS ELEMENTARY STUDENTS OR IDS THAT MOVED IN.

SO YOU CAN SEE 26 60 THREE WERE LOST IN 24, 72 WERE GAINED.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPARISON IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL COMPARISON TO THE RIGHT.

WHAT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THESE LAST FIVE YEARS, IT'S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT.

ABOUT 2500 TO 2700 ELEMENTARY KIDS ARE TURNING OVER WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

YOU'RE REPLACING THEM WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT BELOW THAT NUMBER.

THE BIG HIT DID COME DURING THE THE PANDEMIC WHERE YOU LOST NEARLY 2400, BUT ONLY 16 60 CAME IN.

SO THAT THAT EFFECT STILL LINGERS TO THIS DAY.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE HIGH SCHOOL NUMBERS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN PRETTY GOOD OVER THESE LAST 4 OR 5 YEARS.

UH MR. BEACH. MR. GLICK. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THESE LAST TWO CHARTS.

YOU SAID AND AGAIN, THIS EXCLUDES AS THE KIDS GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, THAT'S IT'S 12TH GRADE.

SO IS THIS TYPICAL FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT YOU LOOK AT? IS THIS UNUSUAL? COULD YOU TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT? WELL, IT DEPENDS.

I MEAN, THE FAST GROWTH DISTRICTS, YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE THAT NEWCOMER CHART BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THE LEAVERS.

BUT IN A LOT OF THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE MATURING AND GETTING OLDER, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT THAT INVERSION OF WHERE MORE LEAVERS THAN THAN NEWCOMERS AND THAT THE KEY QUESTION IS WHERE IS EVERYONE GOING? YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL BEEN KIND OF ASKING THAT SINCE.

SO IT'S IT'S A VARIETY OF THINGS FOR DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE WATCHED IN COLLIN COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF THE DISTRICTS THAT HAVE LOST, THEY'RE LOSING BECAUSE THOSE KIDS, IN MANY WAYS, THEIR PARENTS ARE MOVING UP TO DISTRICTS TO THE NORTH.

SO AND THEY'RE NOT BEING REPLACED.

MAYBE THEY TAKE A HOUSEHOLD WITH 3 OR 4 KIDS AND REPLACE WITH TWO.

AND SO YOU HAVE A THAT LITTLE BIT OF A DROP.

BUT SO IT DEPENDS GEOGRAPHICALLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE THE LARGER URBAN DISTRICTS, WE'RE WE'RE SEEING MORE THE LEAVERS AND IT'S A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE.

YOU GUYS ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE CHALLENGES OR THE COMPETITION THAT YOU HAVE WITH NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS THAT HAVE OPEN ENROLLMENT AS WELL AS CHARTER SCHOOLS AND AS WELL AS MORE PARENTS HOMESCHOOLING.

AND AND THEN THE SOME THAT ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, GOING, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY MOVE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GO.

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, MOVE ON. YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE GEOCODING FOR APRIL, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT HAS CLIMBED A LITTLE BIT MORE HERE IN THE SPRING THAN IT WAS BACK IN THE FALL.

YOU ASKED ME WHAT THE BREAKDOWN WAS BY GRADE.

SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE PROVIDED THERE.

AND THAT THAT CALL OUT, YOU CAN SEE ABOUT 47% OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE TRANSFERRING IN ARE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.

NOW, THE ONE THING THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GIS DEPARTMENT, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET TO THAT NUMBER FOR HOW MANY ARE EMPLOYEES, KIDS WHEN WITHIN HERE. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WAY THOSE RECORDS ARE KEPT, THERE'S 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT TABLES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER.

AND SO I HOPE THAT BY THE NEXT REPORT WE'LL HAVE THAT ALL IRONED OUT AND BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT TO YOU ALL.

AND. BUT WHERE ARE THEY GOING? YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE TRANSFER REPORT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

THEY DID RELEASE A NEW SET OF NUMBERS IN MARCH FOR THE DISTRICT.

THEY SHOWED A LITTLE MORE THAN 4300 WERE TRANSFERRING OUT OF THE DISTRICT.

MEMBERS THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE DISTRICT OR ARE GOING TO ANOTHER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT OR PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE ONES LISTED, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY HARMONY AND ILT WITHIN THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY, YOU KNOW, ARE WHERE MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE NOT ENROLLED ARE THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN THOSE CAMPUSES.

BUT HERE'S A LIST, YOU KNOW, A HISTORICAL LIST OF WHERE THE OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS I THINK YOU ALL NEED TO LOOK AT.

[00:25:07]

SO THAT NUMBER HAS GROWN TO 268 THIS LAST YEAR.

THE HALLSVILLE NUMBER HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY.

REMEMBER, THAT IS A VIRTUAL ACADEMY.

SO THEY HAVE STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR THE VIRTUAL EDUCATION SETTING.

THE NUMBERS FOR RICHARDSON CONTINUE TO TO CLIMB AS WELL AS THERE IN WYLIE AS WELL.

THE NUMBERS FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS ACTUALLY HAVE HAVE LEVELED OFF FOR MOST AND GONE DOWN IN SOME CASES.

YOU CAN SEE ECI NUMBERS DOWN A LITTLE BIT, EVEN HARMONY DOWN AS WELL AS AT ILT.

SO THAT'S THAT'S AN ENCOURAGING THING TO SEE.

NOW LET'S SHIFT GEARS AND TALK ABOUT WHAT BEGINS TO HELP CHANGE THIS.

YOU KNOW, THE THE BOND PASSING IS WONDERFUL NEWS IN THE HOUSING MARKET.

YOU KNOW, IN THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE THREE CITIES IS DOING THEIR BEST TO HELP THE DISTRICT TURN THE TIDE OF OF THE LOSSES.

SO I'VE GOT SOME SLIDES IN HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE HOUSING MARKET IS DOING.

JUST OVERALL IN DFW.

YOU KNOW, THE FOURTH QUARTER WAS PRETTY WAS PRETTY SLOW.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE'VE SEEN EARLY IN 2023, MANY OF THE BUILDERS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A VERY GOOD START TO THE YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE SOME COMMENTS THERE.

JUST OVERALL, WE'RE DOWN ABOUT 28% IN STARTS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD TALKED IN THE PREVIOUS REPORTS ABOUT BEING DOWN 35, 40%.

HERE IN DFW, WE HAVE SEEN STARTS ONLY FALL ABOUT 30% IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.

THEY HAVE SLOWED A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THE ENCOURAGING NEWS IS PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING.

THE CLOSINGS ARE AT ALL TIME HIGHS.

SO I'LL SHOW YOU HERE IN A MINUTE THE DISTRICT NUMBERS.

BUT TO COMMENT ON THE RATES HERE IN APRIL, ABOUT 6.3 ON A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE THAT WITH WITH INCENTIVES BUILDERS ARE OFFERING THAT'S ABLE TO GET THAT RATE DOWN AND THAT'S HELPING PEOPLE GET INTO THE NEW HOUSES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

THE VERY POSITIVE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO BE REPORTED FROM THE TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION REGARDING JOB GROWTH.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS FOR THE STATE, ANOTHER OVER 600,000 NET NEW JOBS THROUGH THE END OF FEBRUARY HERE IN DFW. YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY STRONG NUMBERS, OVER 211,000 NET NEW JOBS ADDED THROUGH THE END OF FEBRUARY.

SO PEOPLE ARE STILL COMING INTO THE DFW AREA VERY RAPIDLY WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

DID SEE A LITTLE BIT SLOW, SLOW DOWN ON THE EXISTING HOME SALES.

YOU CAN SEE JUST UNDER 2600.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT, YOU KNOW, BASED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

BUT PRICES ON THE EXISTING SIDE ARE STILL AT RECORD HIGHS AT JUST UNDER 350,000.

BUT HERE'S THE THE NEW HOME DATA I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU ALL HAVE ACTUALLY MAINTAINED FOR MANY DISTRICTS THAT I WORK WITH THE THE THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER NUMBERS TOOK A PRETTY DEEP NOSEDIVE.

BUT THE BUILDERS OUT HERE IN THE DISTRICT, YES, THEY'RE OFF FROM THE 16 YEAR HIGH, SEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF 2021, BUT ONLY A 9% DECLINE IN STARTS YEAR OVER YEAR HERE IN THE DISTRICT.

SO 738 HOUSES WERE STARTED THROUGH THE END OF MARCH WITH ANOTHER 670 MOVED INTO.

YOU KNOW, YOU DID TALK WE DID TALK A LITTLE BIT BACK IN THE FALL ABOUT THE PAUSE IN SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS FOR THAT WERE OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S REFLECTIVE IN THAT LOT DELIVERY TOTAL SLOWING DOWN.

BUT YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE THAT THE THE DEVELOPERS ARE RAMPING BACK UP AGAIN HERE THIS YEAR.

BUT CLOSINGS, YOU KNOW, ONLY DOWN 10%.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE OVERALL MARKET SEEING THAT 30% DECLINE IN STARTS, THE DISTRICT'S ONLY DOWN ABOUT 10% AND STILL IN THE TOP 30, YOU KNOW, ABOUT 90 SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAKE UP THE AREA.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE MOST OF THE BUILDING IS BY SCHOOL DISTRICT TODAY ON THIS SLIDE.

WITHIN THE CITY OR EXCUSE ME, WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

THE THE CITY OF GARLAND CONTINUES TO SEE THE MOST ACTIVITY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ROWLETT IS NOW ROWLETT SEEING, NOW MORE THAN 200 HOMES BEING BUILT.

AND THE NUMBERS HAVE HAVE COME UP.

YOU CAN SEE THE CLOSINGS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN STRONG IN THE SACHSE AREA LED BY SUBDIVISIONS LIKE THE STATION, WHICH IS

[00:30:01]

SO YOU CAN SEE THE TOP PERFORMERS HERE RIVER SET.

NOTE THAT HOW THEY JUMP BACK UP OVER 101 HUNDRED STARTS, THEY GOT ANOTHER PHASE OF LOTS DELIVERED.

BUT THE ONE, YOU KNOW, I'VE TALKED TO YOU ALL ABOUT AND I'VE GOT A GOOD PICTURE OF IT COMING UP TOWARDS THE END IS THE FIRESIDE BY THE LAKE.

SO DEAR HORTON DOWN SOUTH OF I-30 IS REALLY GETTING AFTER IT.

THEY'VE STARTED 129 HOMES DOWN THERE.

AND UM, PRICE WISE, STILL SEEING NUMBERS.

YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE MEDIAN PRICE IS OUT THERE ARE STAYING PRETTY LEVEL FOR THE DISTRICT, ABOUT A LITTLE MORE THAN 450,000 COMPARED TO JUST UNDER 400,000 FOR FOR DFW AS A WHOLE.

BUT REALLY THE KEY POINT TO REMEMBER IS THERE'S ABOUT 7200 TOTAL LOTS IN THE PIPELINE TODAY.

700 PLUS HOMES ARE IN PRODUCTION AND NOT FINISHED YET WITH ABOUT 1300 THAT ARE FINISHED, LOTS AND READY FOR HOUSES TO BE STARTED.

AND THEN ANOTHER 900 OR SO ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND THEN PLUS ANOTHER 4300 PLUS THAT ARE PLANNED.

NOW, WHAT'S INTERESTING TO SEE IS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DATA THAT'S HAPPENING OR PLANNING AND ZONING HERE IN THE SPRING, I COUNTED A COUPLE MORE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE COMING.

THEY'RE MAINLY TOWNHOME SUBDIVISIONS, BUT IT WILL ADD ANOTHER NEARLY 200 TOWNHOMES THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ON THE NEWS, THE PARK HOUSE, GARLAND DEVELOPMENT BROKE GROUND.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT WE'VE HAD HERE.

YOU KNOW, IN OUR FORECAST, YOU KNOW, BREAKING GROUND A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN WHAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED.

BUT SO THESE NUMBERS ARE 72, 30 COMBINED IN THERE, AND WE'RE SEEING ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS BEING ADDED EACH QUARTER.

UM, I'LL MOVE ON TO AND WE'RE SEEING ADDITIONAL APARTMENTS BEING ADDED.

WE WE, WE SAW LAND SALE DOWN ON I-30 FOR THE LOFTS AT I-30, WHICH WILL ADD ANOTHER 340 UNITS DOWN THERE.

AND THEN A SECOND APARTMENT COMPLEX IS COMING INTO THE STATION AS WELL, AS WELL AS SENIOR LIVING ALL THROUGH THE AREA.

BUT JUST SOME PHOTOGRAPHS FROM FROM THE SPRING OVER IN ROWLETT, THE DOWNTOWN EAST APARTMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING ARE ARE WELL, VERTICAL.

AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE ARE PROGRESSING THERE.

IN MARCH, WE GOT SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS.

YOU KNOW, HERE'S RIVER SET AND SOME NEW APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW AS WELL IN THE PHOTOGRAPH.

OVER AT THE STATION. YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE DOWN TO THE FINAL PHASE THERE AND ADDITIONAL APARTMENTS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PICTURE AND THE ARIA SUBDIVISION TOWNHOMES ARE FINALLY UP AND GOING.

AND THEN UP IN THE WYLIE AREA, MORE LOTS UNDERWAY AT DOMINION, A PLEASANT VALLEY, THE TRAILS OF COTTONWOOD SUBDIVISION.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHERE DEVELOPMENT SLOWED FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT I BELIEVE THEY'RE BACK UP IN AND RUNNING OUT HERE.

AND THEN OVER IN THE CENTRAL PORTION, YOU GOT MORE ACTIVITY FILLING IN, YOU KNOW, AT THE MERRITT VILLAGE AND MAGNOLIA LANDING NORTH HAVEN AREA.

AND OVER IN ROWLETT, BEHIND THE TARGET, GRAYHAWK RANCH HAS STARTED MOVING DIRT.

SO A LITTLE SUBDIVISION THERE.

MOVE OVER THE ONES OVER BY THE LAKE.

LAKE PARK, YOU CAN SEE EAST OF THE GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE.

THAT ONE IS THOSE LOTS ARE FINISHED AND DELIVERED.

BAYSIDE CONTINUES TO TO MOVE INTO THE FUTURE PHASES.

YOU KNOW, DOWN OFF OF I-30.

HERE'S THE BRIDGEWATER SUBDIVISION.

AND THEN CANTERBURY COVE, YOU MOVE UP DOWN ROCK ROAD HERE YOU CAN SEE GRAND LAKE SHORE VILLAGE.

ANOTHER NICE COMMUNITY THAT'S THAT'S COMING ONLINE.

SAPPHIRE BAY.

YOU CAN SEE THE TOWNHOMES AND APARTMENTS DOWN THERE THAT ARE UNDERWAY, AND THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN GARLAND ISD.

AND THEN DOWN SOUTH, HERE'S LION'S CREST PHASE OF LOTS DOWN THERE.

AND THEN HERE'S THE FIRESIDE BY THE LAKE.

SO IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR FALL REPORT, THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH HERE.

AND NOW LOOK AT IT IN APRIL.

THEY'VE REALLY GOTTEN AFTER IT.

SO WE SHOULD BE SEEING CLOSINGS BEGIN HERE OVER THE SUMMER.

ALL RIGHT. SO THAT TAKES US TO WITH WHAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING THE YIELDS.

YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THE YIELD OVERALL BEING AT 0.49 FOR SINGLE FAMILY.

YOU ASKED ME TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BREAKDOWN.

SO I'VE DONE THAT HERE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

[00:35:03]

SO BASICALLY EVERY FIVE HOUSES YOU'RE GETTING AN ELEMENTARY STUDENT.

WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH PROPORTIONALLY THAT NUMBER, YOU KNOW, IT'S COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT WITH WITH YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WAS 0.54 IN 2020 AND 2021. AND YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THOSE SMALLER NUMBERS, ENROLLMENT WISE, YOU KNOW, THE THE OVERALL YIELD DID COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT PROPORTIONALLY, STILL MAJORITY OF THE YIELDS ARE IN THE ELEMENTARY GRADES.

I LOOKED AT SOME OF THE DATA FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS FOR THESE ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND AND JUST UNDER 50% OF THE THE CLOSINGS HAVE PRODUCED ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.

APARTMENT WISE, THE 0.44.

YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN, ALMOST THE SAME YIELD YOU'RE GETTING FROM AN APARTMENT AS A SINGLE FAMILY ON AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.

SO THE HOUSING FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE ABOUT 700 HOMES A YEAR.

WE'RE EXPECTING THAT TO BE, YOU KNOW, COULD BE 3500 HOMES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, POTENTIALLY 6900 TO TO 7000 OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

AND THEN THERE'S OVER 5300 APARTMENTS IN THE IN THE FORECAST.

SO THAT TRANSLATES INTO ABOUT 4400 TOTAL STUDENTS COMING INTO THE DISTRICT OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

BUT HERE'S WHERE WE MERGE IT ALL TOGETHER.

ALL OF THE LOSSES, ALL OF THE NEW.

AND WHEN YOU JUST LOOK AT SO JUST BACK UP A LITTLE BIT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT JUST MOVING EVERY STUDENT THAT'S ENROLLED TODAY FORWARD AND KEEPING KINDERGARTEN AT IN PRE-K AT 2500 AND KEEPING PRE-K LEVEL, YOU ALL ARE STILL ON A PATH TOWARDS 50,000 ENROLLMENT.

THAT'S HOW QUICKLY IN 3 TO 4 YEARS YOU COULD BE AT THAT LEVEL.

BUT WE THINK THAT THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BEGIN TO TURN THAT BACK.

IT'S THE SAME STORY THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL OF THIS RESIDENTIAL GROWTH IN ESPECIALLY GETTING ELEMENTARY KIDS.

AND THAT'S A GREAT SIGN.

THINK BACK TO THE VERY FIRST SLIDE WHERE YOU ALL ARE HOLDING AND UP IN ELEMENTARY HERE THIS SPRING.

THEN WE THINK THAT YOU ALL WILL SEE ENROLLMENT BEGIN TO TURN AND CLIMB BACK TOWARDS 5150 2000.

THE MOST. 5354 ON THE HIGH SCENARIO YOU SEE THERE.

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN WHAT I WHAT I'VE SHOWED YOU IN THE PAST.

BUT BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, HIGH PROBABILITY THAT YOU CAN AT LEAST SEE ENROLLMENT STAY LEVEL TO WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY OVER THESE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. 5 TO 10 YEARS OUT, THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW ALL OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS MATURE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A SUBDIVISION LIKE FIRESIDE HAVING LOW YIELDS INITIALLY, BUT AS THOSE FAMILIES MATURE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, COULD REALLY HELP PUSH THAT GROWTH BACK UP.

SO ALL THE THINGS LIKE THE BOND PASSING, ALL OF THESE RESIDENTIAL NUMBERS ARE VERY, VERY POSITIVE FOR YOU ALL.

I'LL ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME.

MR. MILLER. YEAH.

THANK YOU. AND AS YOU KNOW, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR REPORTS AND THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.

AND THERE IS A LOT.

JUST REAL QUICKLY, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE YIELDS, HOW DOES THE YIELDS IN THE GISD COMPARE TO OTHER AREAS AND WHAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE? I MEAN, IT SEEMS LOW TO ME, BUT WHAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THAT? YOUNG FAMILIES, OLD FAMILIES ARE JUST.

YES AND YES.

SINGLES. THEY'RE LOWER THAN WHAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY SEE.

OKAY. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR NEIGHBOR IN WYLIE, YOU KNOW, BEEN ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING DISTRICTS IN NORTH TEXAS.

THEY THEY'RE AVERAGING ABOUT A 0.75 YIELD.

BUT WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER DISTRICTS LIKE PROSPER SEEING YIELDS THAT ARE UP 0.8.

SO THE FAST DISTRICTS, THEIR AVERAGE IS IS IN THAT 0.82 TO 1.0.

WHAT THAT NUMBER SHOWS IS THAT IT'S A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT EMPTY NESTERS THAT ARE BUYING AS WELL.

YOU'VE GOT YOUNG FAMILIES THAT ARE BUYING THAT HAVE FEWER KIDS.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE BUYING THAT AREN'T ENROLLING.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS CONTRIBUTE TO THAT YIELD BEING LOWER.

[00:40:01]

IT'S THE HIGHER ONES WILL STAY IN CLOSER TO 0.6.

BUT A LOT OF THEM ARE PUSHING DOWN TO 0.5 AND 0.45 AS WE SEE MORE PEOPLE DOWNSIZE AS THEY'RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAD CHILDREN MAYBE IN ANOTHER AREA AND THEIR KIDS HAVE GRADUATED.

THEY MOVE TO A SMALLER HOME IN IN, FOR EXAMPLE, IN GARLAND.

AND THEN IT CONTRIBUTES TO SEEING A LOWER YIELD OVERALL FOR THIS SINGLE FAMILY YIELDS.

SO WHAT WOULD THE AGE OF OUR LIKE WE WE HAVE A PRETTY AGED HOUSING STOCK WITHIN OUR DISTRICT AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE ALL OF OUR CITIES. WE DO HAVE SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS, BUT WE HAVE A TON OF FOX AND JACOB JOYNER HOMES, 1200 TO 1800 SQUARE FOOT BUILT 50, 60, 7080S.

DO YOU HAVE A PROFILE FOR THE WHO'S MOVING IN AND OUT OF THOSE? AND IF THOSE ARE CONVERTING TO RENTALS VERSUS OWNED, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE YIELD OF A RENTAL VERSUS A HOME THAT'S OWNED? IT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT THERE I HAVEN'T SEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHETHER IT'S RENTED OR NEW.

THERE ARE EXAMPLES, I CAN TELL YOU IN RENTALS IN FORT WORTH SIDE WHERE THERE WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS WHERE THEY WERE REALLY HIGH AND THEN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, THE PEOPLE AFTER THEIR LEASE EXPIRED, THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN, THEY WENT DOWN.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF FLUCTUATION IN DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT DISTRICTS LIKE MESQUITE, DISTRICTS LIKE GARLAND, EVEN, YOU KNOW, DOWN IN SAN ANTONIO AREA WHERE YOU HAVE OLDER HOUSING STOCK, LIKE YOU'RE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, WE'RE SEEING THOSE AREAS AGE, OBVIOUSLY, AND THE YIELDS GO DOWN.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THE WAY I LIKE TO DESCRIBE IT IS JUST THESE WERE THESE WERE HOMES THAT TYPICALLY HAD LET'S JUST SAY THEY HAD THREE KIDS AND NOW THEY HAVE TWO.

AND THAT JUST THAT LITTLE FRACTION MULTIPLIED BY ALL THE DIFFERENT HOMES GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN WHAT WHAT YOU HAD IN THE PAST.

WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH HISTORY ON SOME OF THOSE THOSE AREAS AS WELL.

BUT. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPLORE HERE IN THE FALL IS WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE OF THE THE CENSUS DATA.

YOU KNOW, COMPARE THAT WITH WHAT THE COUNTY IS PRODUCING IN THEIR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS.

AND SO I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER ANSWER OF HOW GARLAND LOOKS IN ITS HOUSEHOLD PROFILE.

WELL, YEAH, AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG WHEN YOU DRIVE OUR DISTRICT, WHICH I'VE DONE SEVERAL TIMES, DRIVEN EVERY CAMPUS AND LOOKING AT THE HOUSING STOCK AND WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO BY A NUMBER OF CARS PARKED IN THE STREET, WE HAVE A TON OF PEOPLE, AT LEAST AT THE DRIVING AGE, LIVING IN THOSE HOUSES.

BUT THE NUMBERS WOULD TELL ME THAT THE YIELD HAS GONE DOWN EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE FULLY OCCUPIED.

THERE'S VERY FEW VACANCIES ACROSS TOWN AS I DRIVE AROUND AND LOOK.

SO ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE BACK EARLY IN YOUR SLIDES.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE POPULATION TRENDS AND YOU HAVE THE COUNTIES LISTED IN DALLAS COUNTY IS ONE OF THEM THAT SHOWS A 10.3 INCREASE. BUT THE CITY OF DALLAS IS A HUGE DRIVER OF THOSE NUMBERS.

DOES GARLAND COMPARE TO DALLAS OR IF WE TOOK DALLAS OUT OF THAT NUMBER, WHAT WOULD THE REST OF THE COUNTY LOOK LIKE? THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

BUT YOU YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, GARLAND IS ONLY A GEOGRAPHICALLY, YOU KNOW, A SMALL PORTION OF THE NORTHEAST OF THE COUNTY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD ATTEMPT TO TO LOOK AT AND SEE IF I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT BY USING CENSUS BLOCKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SURE. YOU KNOW, IN TARRANT COUNTY, YOU SEE THOSE NUMBERS ARE STILL REALLY STRONG.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN INDICATION, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE FORT WORTH, THERE ARE HUGE POCKETS OF FORT WORTH THAT HAVE SEEN TREMENDOUS RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AS OPPOSED TO DALLAS, NOT I MEAN, DALLAS IS STILL SEEING RESIDENTIAL GROWTH, BUT NOT NEAR ON THE LEVEL OF WHAT CITY OF FORT WORTH

[00:45:03]

SO WE COULD TRY TAKING A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS.

I THINK THE HOPEFULLY THAT THIS SUMMER THE THE CENSUS DATA IS SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED FOR AGE OF HOUSEHOLD AND ALL HOUSEHOLD TYPES. AND SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT FINALLY AFTER THREE YEARS.

GEOGRAPHICALLY, I THINK THAT WILL BE VERY TELLING.

SO ON MY PAGE 11 IS GISD STUDENT TRANSFERS OUT TO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS.

YOU HAD THOSE TWO SLIDES.

I REALLY APPRECIATE, I BELIEVE THAT'S ONE I HAD ASKED FOR BEFORE.

KIND OF ONE COMMENT, IF YOU AGREE WITH IT, ESPECIALLY WITH IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THIS NEW BOND ISSUE THAT'S GOING TO BUILD FOR NEW SCHOOLS AND PUT IN A TON OF NEW FACILITIES AND UPGRADE A BUNCH OF STUFF AND GET RID OF THE PORTABLES AND MAKE A TON OF IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR DISTRICT. I'M HOPEFUL THAT WILL ATTRACT AND KEEP KIDS FROM TRANSFERRING OUT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT NEWER STUFF THAN MAYBE SOME OF THE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THIS.

AND I HOPE MY HUNCH IS RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO THAT.

BUT DOWN IN THE CHARTER SCHOOLS, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FULL THESE ARE? I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE, IF SOMETHING LIKE VOUCHERS WERE TO HAVE PASSED, WHERE WOULD THE KIDS GO IF THESE SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY FULL? WELL, I BELIEVE THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, HARMONY AND ILT, AT LEAST HERE LOCALLY, THEY'RE FULL.

MOST OF THESE ON THIS LIST ARE FULL.

I DO THE WITH THESE CHARTER SCHOOLS THEY CAN OFTEN START K THROUGH SIX OR K THROUGH EIGHT AND THEN ADD A GRADE. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT DEPENDS ON THEIR LOCATION AND IF THEY TEND TO ADD A SECONDARY IF THEY DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, STRONG ENROLLMENT IN THOSE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS THAT THEY OPEN.

BUT I THINK MOST OF THE ONES THAT ARE HERE LOCALLY ARE ARE ARE FULL.

TO YOUR POINT THERE.

NOW, THE VOUCHER SITUATION, THAT THAT ONE IS STILL A LITTLE CONFUSING TO ME BECAUSE IT'S OFTEN FRAMED AS THAT'S A VOUCHER FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL.

I MEAN, ANYONE CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

YOU'RE CORRECT. THE CHARTER. GOES ARE ALREADY FREE.

SO. EXACTLY.

SO IT'S A LITTLE INTERESTING TO HEAR THAT BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW WHAT TUITION IS, A LOT OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT'S 20 OR 30,000 A YEAR, IT'S IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

IF IT WAS TO BE, YOU KNOW, IF IT PASSED.

YOU KNOW, SO I THINK AS LONG AS YOU ALL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF WHAT THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE ATTENDING CHARTER SCHOOLS, IT'S STAYED PRETTY LEVEL THESE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

YOU KNOW, IT IS 4300, BUT IT'S BEEN LEVEL.

AS YOU ALL BEGIN TO IMPROVE YOUR FACILITIES, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MARKET.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD OVER THE YEARS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PARENTS, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT OR WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS ANOTHER? WELL, YOU KNOW, OUR SCHOOL WAS 50, 60 YEARS OLD.

YOU KNOW, AND LOOK HOW THIS IS BRAND NEW.

AND AND IT'S SO EXCITING AND VARIOUS, YOU KNOW, ANECDOTAL STORIES LIKE THAT.

SO THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SCHOOLS THAT WILL BE BRAND NEW VERSUS OTHER PEOPLE THAT WILL BE 20, 25 YEARS OLD AT THAT POINT.

SO HOPEFULLY THIS WORM WILL TURN WITH THE PASSING OF THIS.

THIS BOND ISSUE IS ONE OF THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT I SEE THAT THE DISTRICT HAS UNDERTAKEN IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.

I MEAN, REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

YOU KNOW, I LIKE YOUR OPTIMISTIC TOTAL ENROLLMENT CURVE TURNING UP.

I SAW WHERE THE NEW LOT LIKE LOOKING AT YOUR MAP WHERE YOU SHOW ALL THE UNDERDEVELOPMENT LOTS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

I DIDN'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF LOTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.

HOW DOES THAT BODE FOR LIKE THREE AND FOUR YEARS OUT? WELL, JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS ARE DEALING WITH KIND OF A NEW SET OF CRITERIA FOR BORROWING, AND THAT'S PLAYING.

YOU MEAN RATES ARE HIGHER? YES. AND IT'S WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS IT CAN BE YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE A NATIONAL FIRM VERSUS A PRIVATE OR SMALLER CUSTOM,

[00:50:02]

SO IT CAN SLOW DOWN SOME OF THE PROGRESS THAT SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT WERE THINKING, HEY, WE WERE GOING TO PUT THESE LOTS ON THE GROUND IN 2024.

NOW THEY'RE HAVING TO WORK THROUGH HOW MANY LIKE, NUMBER ONE, CAN WE STILL DO THE PROJECT IF WE CAN? HOW MANY LOTS? AND THEN NOW WE'RE ALREADY PUSHING OUT 25 AND 26.

SO MOST STILL WANT TO DO THE PROJECT, STILL PLAN TO DO THE PROJECT IT, BUT THEY'RE HAVING TO WORK THROUGH A DIFFERENT SET OF BORROWING STANDARDS.

WELL, ANOTHER THING TO KEEP YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND ON REALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE INTEREST RATE AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THE OTHER FACTORS THAT WE TRADITIONALLY HAVE IS IF YOU'RE IN DALLAS FORT WORTH AND YOU'RE A BANK, YOU'VE GOT A FULL BUCKET OF REAL ESTATE LOANS RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEEN A VERY EASY THING TO DO.

AND A LOT OF BANKS ARE NOW LOOKING AT THOSE PORTFOLIOS AND SAYING WE'RE GOING TO PARE THAT DOWN.

SO THE THE AGGRESSIVE LENDING IN THIS ARENA HAS SUBSIDED AND A LOT OF BANKS ARE REALLY PULLING IN, TAPPING ON THE BRAKE.

SO THE MONEY MAY NOT BE AS EASY TO COME BY TO EVEN GO FINANCE, EVEN IF YOU CAN STOMACH THE INTEREST RATE, IT'S THERE'S NOT AS BIG A APPETITE FOR THAT PRODUCT TYPE AS THERE'S BEEN IN THE PAST.

AND SO TO ME, THAT'S A 2 TO 3 YEAR OUT KIND OF PHENOMENON THAT IT COULD, AGAIN, SLOW RATHER THAN THAN REMAIN LEVEL OR EVEN SPEED UP OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

IF THE BANKS DON'T HAVE THE CASH AVAILABLE TO LOAN, THEN THE DEVELOPERS CAN'T CAN'T BUILD IT.

WELL, IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WATCHING AND CONCERNED ABOUT IN THAT IN THE FORECAST.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY TELLING THIS SUMMER TO SEE, YOU KNOW, JUST WHAT GETS STARTED IN IN IN MOVING FORWARD SO IT CAN MEET THE TIMELINE TO, YOU KNOW, TO TO ON THE GROUND BY 25.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. GRIFFIN.

ANY. MEMBERS.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

ARE YOU SORRY? YES, THANK YOU.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF SO MUCH QUESTIONS.

IS IT JUST OBSERVATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THIS? FIRST, WITH RESPECT TO OPEN ENROLLMENT, I NOTICED THAT IN 2019 2020 WE HAD 194 KIDS THAT WE BROUGHT IN HERE.

PROBABLY ALMOST ALL OF THOSE WERE FACULTY, PARENT, FACULTY, CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN, I ASSUME.

BUT WE SEE A STEADY.

INCREASE FROM THAT POINT ON WHEN WE WHEN WE INITIATED IT TO 513, 596, 702 AND NOW 793.

SO CONGRATULATIONS ON GROWING OPEN ENROLLMENT ABOUT SIX TIMES WHAT IT WAS WHEN WE FIRST STARTED.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

THAT BEING SAID, IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE BY MY ACCOUNT, WE LOSE A TOTAL OF ABOUT 4338 KIDS TO EITHER OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS OR TO CHARTER SCHOOLS.

AND IF YOU FACTOR IN WHICH I THINK IS RELATIVELY CONSERVATIVE, $7,000 PER STUDENT ON WADA, THAT'S OVER $30 MILLION.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE NUMBER THAT MISS MAYO SAID WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HOLE FOR.

SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE EVEN AS AGGRESSIVE AS WE CAN IN MARKETING AND OPEN ENROLLMENT.

WE ARE SADLY IN A COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE TO SELL OUR SERVICES.

I THINK THE BOND IS GOING TO HELP.

I THINK THAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO CONSIDER SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RENOVATIONS TO SCHOOLS, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE THESE CHARTERS ARE.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE THESE KIDS ARE GOING.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THOSE AREAS, THOSE MAY BE THE ONES WE NEED TO CONSIDER OR ADDRESS.

IT JUST NEEDS TO BE PART OF SOMETHING WE THINK ABOUT IN THIS PROCESS BECAUSE 703 FROM 184 IS GOOD, BUT WE NEED IT TO BE ABOUT THREE TIMES THAT TO MAKE A DENT IN WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING TO US.

SO I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION, SIR.

THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. AND I AGREE WITH ONE THING YOU'RE SAYING THERE, TOO.

BUT ALSO LOOK AT IT THIS WAY.

I KNOW THAT I WAS STILL IN THE CLASSROOM WHENEVER THE CHARTERS WERE BEING BUILT, AND IT REALLY CAUGHT US WITH OUR WITH OUR BLINDERS ON, NOT REALIZING HOW IT WAS GOING TO IMPACT THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

BUT I THINK THAT SINCE THEN, AND WITH THE PASSING OF THIS BOND PROGRAM, I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE MOTIVATED ENOUGH NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO CAPTURE THOSE PEOPLE, A LOT OF THEM BACK, AND WE'RE GOING TO CAPTURE A LOT OF KIDS FROM OUTSIDE TO IN THE OPEN ENROLLMENT BECAUSE OF THE NEW FACILITIES, THE MULTI-PROGRAM FACILITIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT JUST THE NEW FACILITIES TOTALLY ARE GOING TO START BRINGING MORE PEOPLE IN, JUST LIKE DR.

[00:55:04]

AND I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

AND I KNOW YOUR NUMBERS ARE REALLY GOOD AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE AGGRESSIVE AS FAR AS OUR MARKETING IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE.

AND I THINK THAT WITH WHAT'S FIXING TO HAPPEN IN THE MOMENTUM THAT WE HAVE, I THINK EVERYBODY SITTING IN THIS ROOM IS READY TO GET OUT THERE AND BE BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND GET FOLKS BACK IN HERE AND SHOW THEM WHAT GISD IS ALL ABOUT.

SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

MR.. SELDERS.

YES. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AS WELL.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY WITH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP, SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS WHAT CHANGES WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXPECT WITH THE NEW BOND OR PASSAGE OF THE BOND.

I'M JUST CURIOUS, YOU MENTIONED THAT WILEY AND PLACES LIKE PROSPER WERE FAST GROWTH DISTRICT AND THEY HAD HIGHER YIELDS, BUT WITH PEOPLE TRANSITIONING FROM OTHER CITIES FOR OTHER REASONS, WHETHER THEY'RE MOVING IN FROM LIKE PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA AND PURCHASING PROPERTY THERE OR JUST MOVING BECAUSE OF ATTRIBUTES THAT THEY SEE IN CITIES. WHAT ATTRIBUTES ARE YOU SEEING IN THOSE FAST GROWTH CITIES ASIDE FROM JUST THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT ARE MAKING THEM MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR THOSE TYPES OF FAMILIES? WELL, MOST OF THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE SEEING HIGH YIELDS IN ARE YOUR A-RATED DISTRICTS.

SO, NUMBER ONE, YOU CAN START OFF WITH RATINGS.

AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NEWNESS TO A LOT OF THOSE AREAS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A LOT OF YOU KNOW, I LIVED IN PROSPER FOR EIGHT YEARS BEFORE WE MOVED BECAUSE OF THE RAPID GROWTH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SMALL, YOU KNOW, AND SO THERE'S THERE ARE CHARACTERISTICS THAT PEOPLE SEEK OUT.

YOU KNOW, DESTINATION FOR OTHERS ARE MOVING TO THESE AREAS.

IF YOU LOOK AT SO ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE FOR YOU IN THE FALL IS I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE THE DATA FOR EACH ENROLLMENT OR THE DISTRICT GROWTH OR THE THE 90 DISTRICTS.

WHAT WHERE ARE THE FASTEST GROWING DISTRICTS? WELL, A LOT OF THEM ARE IN COLLIN COUNTY NOW.

AND SO DISTRICTS LIKE COMMUNITY AND DISTRICTS LIKE MELISSA AND DISTRICTS LIKE CELINA AND ANNA, YOU KNOW, ARE EXPLODING RIGHT NOW.

AND WHAT IS WHAT'S ATTRACTIVE TO THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS? I MEAN, IT'S I GUESS THAT'S TO EACH HOUSEHOLD, YOU KNOW, THAT'S BUT THEY THEY'RE MOST OF THOSE AREAS HAVE THEIR NEWER YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE NEWER.

THEY'VE PASSED BONDS.

THEY'RE BUILDING NEW SCHOOLS.

THEY'VE GOT NEW NEIGHBORHOODS, NEW CONSTRUCTION.

PEOPLE ARE GOING FOR NEW HOUSES.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STARTING FAMILIES.

YOU KNOW, JUST THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE RATINGS FOR SCHOOL.

ALL ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE FACTORING IN WHERE YOU ALL CAN.

I CAN SEE YOU CAN YOU NEED TO TALK WITH THE SALES PEOPLE AT THESE COMMUNITIES.

YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR OPEN TRANSFER POLICY WITHIN THE DISTRICT OR YOUR SCHOOL CHOICE, HOW ALL THAT WORKS, YOU KNOW, HOW TO PEOPLE COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO WANT.

SO I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MOVE INTO AN AREA OF WYLIE AND THEY WANT THEY I FOUND A PERFECT HOUSE.

LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT I CAN'T GO TO THAT SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S FULL.

IS THAT PLAYING A ROLE IN WELL, MAYBE WE LOOK ELSEWHERE OR MAYBE I DON'T.

THESE ARE THINGS I JUST AM CURIOUS ABOUT THAT YOU ALL SHOULD I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU WOULD EXPLORE.

BUT DISTRICTS LIKE CROWLEY THAT I WORK WITH FOR A DECADE WE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM.

THEY'VE BEEN HAVE SO MUCH COMPETITION WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS.

AND THE NUMBER ONE THING THEY DID FIRST WAS BRING THE RATINGS UP AND SHOW EVERY HOMEBUYER THAT YOU CAN GO TO AT LEAST A B SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU CAN DO THAT AND HAVE A SCHOOLS AS WELL, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY FOR ATTRACTING PEOPLE THAT ARE FIRST THING THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS JUST WHAT ARE THE RATINGS.

BUT I DO THINK THAT YOU NEED TO TALK WITH LOCAL REALTORS.

YOU NEED TO TALK WITH THE NEW SALES PEOPLE, BECAUSE SALES PEOPLE IN THESE COMMUNITIES CAN DO A WONDERFUL JOB OF PROMOTING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE HAD REALTOR EVENTS TO PROMOTE ALL THE THINGS YOU'RE PLANNING.

SO THOSE ARE IDEAS TO TO HELP YOU SELL THE DISTRICT.

SO JUST TO THAT POINT, I MEAN, YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE NORTH.

YOU KNOW, AND I'VE HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND, YOU KNOW, THEY TALK ABOUT GARLAND IN DIFFERENT TERMS. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS BEEN THE POSITIVE OR HAVING A PERSPECTIVE OF THE CITIES THAT ARE COMPRISED IN OUR DISTRICT.

[01:00:06]

BUT THEN ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE SEEING, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR ROLE WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK IN OTHER AREAS THAT, YOU KNOW, CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND JUST AS LONG AS GARLAND AND DISTRICTS THAT HAVE BEEN ALONG JUST AS LONG AS US, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO SORT OF RE MESSAGE AND CREATE A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE TO ATTRACT PEOPLE.

WELL I THINK THAT THAT RE MESSAGE AND RE RE ALMOST REBRANDING YOURSELF TO ALL OF THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF DFW THAT ARE THE OLDEST AREAS, ALL HAVE THE HAVE SIMILAR CHALLENGES.

YOU ALL HAVE THE OLDER HOMES, OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS TO DEAL WITH.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A MORE INDUSTRIAL AREA.

YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE, BUT ALSO ARE, YOU KNOW, REASONS THAT SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE MAY FIND, YOU KNOW, A SMALLER ENVIRONMENT MORE ATTRACTIVE.

THOSE ARE JUST THINGS YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT.

AND AND I THINK IT GOES A LONG WAY.

WHAT'S YOUR YOU'RE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON IS REBUILDING AND REBRANDING A LOT OF THE AREA SCHOOLS AND BRINGING TAKING THAT MESSAGE BACK OUT TO ESPECIALLY TO THE THE REALTORS THAT ARE MEETING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING TO BUY AND THEY HAVE CHILDREN AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, BE COMFORTABLE IN IN BUY INTO BUYING A HOME IN GARLAND AND NOT ONLY BUYING THAT HOME, BUT ENROLLING THEIR CHILDREN IN THE DISTRICT. BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL HAVING TONS OF PEOPLE BY THE FIGHT IS TO GET THEM TO ENROLL.

MS STANLEY. SO I HAVE KIND OF A DIFFERENT QUESTION.

SO WATCHING PLANNING COMMISSIONS AND THE THREE CITIES, MOSTLY IN GARLAND, MORE SO THAN ROWLETT, WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THESE SMALLER FOOTPRINT APARTMENTS THAT THEY'RE DOING IN THE SMALLER FOOTPRINT TOWNHOMES AND THE SMALLER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY REALIZES, BUT THEY'RE CUTTING THEIR FOOTPRINTS IN THEIR APARTMENTS AND THEIR TOWNHOME HOMES IN THE CITY OF GARLAND ALMOST BY HALF, I MEAN THEY'RE MAKING VERY SMALL SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.

AND AND TO ME, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE SEEING THIS DOWNTREND IN THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN.

DO YOU GUYS LOOK AT ANY OF THAT AND TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION? YES, THE YIELDS.

AND ARE YOU SEEING THAT WHAT I'M SEEING AS WELL, I LOOK CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH LIKE WAY OUT AHEAD OF BUILDING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS THAT ARE TARGETING 20 YEAR OLDS BEING NEAR NEAR THE WORK WORK AREAS OF DFW.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

BUT THEY DON'T. SO THEY DON'T YIELD.

THEY'RE PROFITABLE FOR THOSE DEVELOPERS.

THEY'RE PROFITABLE FOR THE CITY, BUT THEY DON'T BRING KIDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE OFTEN GET ASKED IS HOW DO THOSE AGE? YOU KNOW, THAT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE DEAL.

BUT WHAT'S COMING THROUGH AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF.

DISTRICTS THAT ARE THE APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BASICALLY GONE.

I THINK I'VE TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE.

THEY'VE KIND OF GONE IN TWO DIRECTIONS.

ONE, IF YOU GET A TRADITIONAL GARDEN STYLE APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT.

SO THOSE ARE YOUR TWO, THREE STORIES THAT HAVE TWO AND THREE BEDROOM UNITS THAT WILL BRING FAMILIES.

THOSE TYPICALLY HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF TAX CREDIT OR SOME TO HELP THE DEVELOPER PUT THAT ON THE GROUND.

OTHERWISE, IT IS THE ULTRA LUXURY ENCLOSED MID-RISE APARTMENTS THAT ARE FOUR AND FIVE STORIES.

THE YIELDS ON THOSE ARE TYPICALLY 0.10.15.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU YOU SEE THAT HUGE APARTMENT NUMBER.

BUT WE'RE HAVING TO FACTOR IN A MUCH LOWER YIELD WHEN THAT YIELD ON A ON A GARDEN STYLE ONE WAS 0.3 OR 0.4.

AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IS THE CITIES ARE BY ON THE ONE HAND, THEY'RE ALLOWING SOMETHING TO BE BUILT THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY KIDS, BUT THEY MAY NOT.

SO DEPENDING ON WHO'S MY MY POINT WAS IS THAT WE YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MUCH STRONGER CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR CITIES BECAUSE THEY FOUND THAT SURPRISING.

WHEN I BEGAN SHARING THE INFORMATION THAT YOU WERE GIVING US AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY'RE YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD, BUT NOBODY'S HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITIES.

[01:05:02]

THEY'RE ALL LEASED.

THE 20 YEAR OLDS ARE HERE.

THAT'S WHY WE LOOK AT THAT DALLAS COUNTY DATA, 18 YEAR OLD AND UP, BOOM, THEY'RE ALL HERE.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NO VACANCIES.

BUT BY BUILDING THOSE TYPES OF UNITS, THEY DON'T ALLOW FOR I MEAN, YOU JUST DON'T HAVE FAMILIES IN THOSE. IT'S ALSO THOSE RETAIL ON THE BOTTOM AND APARTMENTS ON TOP.

THAT HAS BEEN A REAL WAVE IN THE LAST PROBABLY 5 TO 6 YEARS.

AND IT'S THE MULTI I FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE THAT FANCY NAME FOR.

THOSE AREN'T BRINGING KIDS EITHER.

YEAH THAT'S THE WHOLE LIKE LIVE WORK PLAY STUFF.

YEP. SO WE'RE DEALING WITH IT IN ALLEN RIGHT NOW ALL OF THE THE CHANGE YOU KNOW THE CITY'S APPROVED 14,000 APARTMENTS ALONG 121 BUT YOU KNOW FOR THEM IT'S THAT HEY YOU KNOW THE YIELDS ARE VERY LOW AND THERE'S SO MANY THEY'LL STILL GET GROWTH.

BUT IT'S WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN ALL THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS THE AS THE APARTMENT BUILDERS HAVE SHIFTED TO THIS NEW ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, IN EVERY ONE OF THOSE AREAS, THE YIELDS HAVE PLUMMETED.

MHM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. MR. BEACH.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, RECEIVE A STUDENT NUTRITION SERVICE QUARTERLY MANAGEMENT UPDATE.

JENNIFER MILLER.

YEAH. OKAY.

GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN BEACH, TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ. I'M HERE WITH YOUR QUARTERLY UPDATE.

SO. OKAY, SO OUR FIRST SLIDE TALKS ABOUT OUR PARTICIPATION OF THIS YEAR COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S.

AND WE'RE THRILLED TO SHOW YOU SEE THE NUMBERS IN THE RED THAT WE HAVE.

OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY? OKAY. SORRY.

OKAY. AGAIN, SO THIS SHOWS OUR PARTICIPATION DATA FOR YEARS, COMPARATIVE YEARS.

AND WE'RE THRILLED TO SHOW THAT WE'VE HAD A PARTICIPATION INCREASE THIS YEAR, EVEN THOUGH WE DID HAVE MEALS ALL FREE FOR LAST YEAR FOR EVERYONE.

SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DRILL INTO EACH DAY PART A LITTLE MORE.

SO BREAKFAST, WE'RE UP ABOUT 2%.

I THINK THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO WE ADDED NINE NEW BREAKFAST IN THE CLASSROOM ELEMENTARIES THIS YEAR.

THERE'S JUST A HUGE PARTICIPATION INCREASE WHEN YOU HAVE THE MEAL ACTUALLY IN THE CLASSROOM AS OPPOSED TO STUDENTS HAVING TO GO TO THE CAFETERIA BEFORE SCHOOL. AND THEN OUR FOR LUNCH, WE'RE, OUR PARTICIPATION IS UP THERE AS WELL, 3% OVERALL. SO WE'RE VERY ENCOURAGED BY THAT NUMBER.

AND EXPENSES OF REVENUE, I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT.

AND THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WILL WE START TO SEE IT NORMALIZE.

SO HERE IS WHERE YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO SEE THINGS BECOME MORE IN LINE.

YOU KNOW, OUR EXPENSES WERE WAY HIGH IN COVID AND THEN VERY LOW LAST YEAR BECAUSE WE HAD SO MUCH EXTRA FEDERAL MONEY THAT KIND OF OFFSET THAT.

SO WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE A NORMALIZATION.

MEAL DEBT THAT HAS REMAINED PRETTY STEADY SINCE JANUARY FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 38 AND 40.

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GO DOWN AS WE REACH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND PEOPLE ARE TRANSFERRING OUT OF SCHOOL OR GRADUATING OR MOVING ON.

SO THIS IS OUR PNL.

SO THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO OUR EXPENSES VERSUS REVENUE.

YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE NORMALIZATION HERE AS WELL.

AND COVID, WE LOST A LOT OF MONEY.

WE MADE QUITE A BIT OF MONEY LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR IS A LITTLE MORE NORMAL.

WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE JUST OVER $3 MILLION THIS YEAR.

SO WE TALK ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF OUR FUND BALANCE.

SO WE'LL BE ADDING THAT $3 MILLION TO THE FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY FOR JUST OVER $18 MILLION.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE MORE.

IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN I WAS HERE, GOODNESS, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO, OUR FUND BALANCE PLAN.

AND SO HERE IT IS JUST WITHOUT THE PICTURES.

THIS IS WHAT WE SUBMITTED TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, WHO OVERSEES OUR WHO OVERSEES US.

[01:10:07]

AND A LOT OF THIS WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT THESE ARE STARTING TO GO THROUGH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS.

SO YOU'LL SEE ME HERE FREQUENTLY FOR A BID APPROVALS, ETCETERA, IN THE COMING MONTHS.

SO WE ARE EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND I ALSO WANT TO TOUCH ON JUST OUR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.

I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS THAT OUR PARTICIPATION IS POSITIVE AND TRENDING UP IS WE REALLY DO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

SO WE DO FOCUS GROUPS WITH DIFFERENT STUDENTS EVERY YEAR.

SO THIS YEAR THOSE ARE THE SIX PROGRAMS THAT WERE CHOSEN AND WE DO NEW ONES EVERY YEAR.

AND CHEF KEVIN HAS REALLY BEEN WORKING A LOT WITH THE GRCTC CULINARY PROGRAM, SO THAT HAS BEEN FUN FOR HIM, HONESTLY AND FUN FOR THEM AS WELL. WE ALSO GO OUT INTO THE SCHOOLS AND TEST OUR NEW RECIPES AND PRODUCTS ON THE WHOLE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AND GET EVERYBODY'S FEEDBACK TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR MAC MEETINGS FOUR TIMES A YEAR THAT GIVE THAT WE ALWAYS INVITE STAKEHOLDERS TO AND GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY HAVE FEEDBACK WITH US, ASK QUESTIONS, LEARN LESSONS, TALK ABOUT THINGS.

YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS FEED THEM SO THEY LIKE THAT, BUT IT JUST GIVES A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE OPEN CONVERSATION.

AND IT WAS REALLY EXCITING.

OUR LAST MOST RECENT MAC MEETING WAS JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND WE HAD A REALLY A LOT OF NEW FACES, SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY GREAT.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA.

SO WE'RE VERY ACTIVE ON ALL THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS REALLY PROMOTING OUR DEPARTMENT AND THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING. BUT ALSO WE LIKE TO PAY ATTENTION TO SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL, IF THERE'S EVER ANY ISSUES SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES HEAD ON AND INVITE PEOPLE TO OUR MAC MEETINGS.

AND ANOTHER THING I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS WE TAKE THE WHOLE CONCEPT PILLAR OF THE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE REALLY SERIOUSLY IN MY DEPARTMENT.

SO WE HIRED A NEW PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUPERVISOR AND SHE'S ACTUALLY BEEN WITH US FOR 15 YEARS.

SHE WAS A FORMER MANAGER AT NAAMAN FOREST AND THEN A FIELD SUPERVISOR, AND SHE'S NOW IN CHARGE OF OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO WE'RE BEING REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT OUR TRAINING CHOICES, AND WE'VE REVAMPED OUR HIRING PROCESS AND REALLY WORKED ON THE ONBOARDING OF OUR NEW EMPLOYEES WITH THEIR TRAINING AND OUR MANAGER INTERN TRAINING.

SO THOSE ARE LIKE OUR MANAGER TRAINEES.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY BEEN A FOCUS FOR US THIS YEAR AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHERE THAT'S GOING TO GO NEXT YEAR, ALONG WITH THE S&S TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION, WHERE WE'RE REALLY WORKING WITH OUR EMPLOYEES TO GET TASN CERTIFIED, WHICH IS THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NUTRITION, SO THAT THEY WILL GAIN MORE SKILLS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT SO THAT THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE.

SO WE'RE GROWING OUR OWN.

AND THEN AS ALWAYS, PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER IS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE UP TO DATE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT.

SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, MS. MILLER, I'M GLAD THAT YOU DO TASTINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO WHERE YOU HAVE COMMUNITY PEOPLE COME IN, ADMINISTRATORS, WHATEVER, TEACHERS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, TO SAMPLE, TO MEET THE DIVERSITY IN OUR DISTRICT, TO CHANGE TO, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD MEET THOSE NEEDS.

SO I THINK THAT'S ONE REASON THAT YOU'RE SEEING THE DIFFERENCE AS FAR AS YOUR NUMBERS ARE CONCERNED, TOO, BECAUSE YOU'RE MEETING THE NEEDS.

AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT YOU'RE DOING THERE WITH YOUR STAFF AND YOUR TRAINING AND EVERYTHING AND TRYING DIFFERENT MENUS TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR FOR DOING THAT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MS. STANLEY. THIS IS MORE INFORMATIONAL, BUT WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE MEAL DEBT TREND? BECAUSE I BET YOU NOBODY UNDERSTANDS MEAL DEBT TREND.

OKAY, SO BACK IN 16-17 WAS WHEN IT FIRST GOT REALLY HIGH.

AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS STUDENTS THAT DON'T PAY FOR THEIR MEALS SO..

[01:15:07]

OKAY. WELL, I MEAN, I GUESS YOU COULD DEBATE WHY, BUT.

YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MS. MILLER. OKAY. THANK YOU.

MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL SANITARY SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT.

PHASE ONE. PAUL GONZALEZ.

GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN BEACH, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ. I JUST WANTED TO COME BACK AND I WANTED TO COME BACK AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON PHASE ONE OF THE HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM THAT WAS PRESENTED TO FINANCE AND FACILITIES IN THE PAST.

BUT BEFORE I GET STARTED, I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S SUPPORT IN THE 2023 BOND PROGRAM, JUST ECHOING OFF OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU ALL HAD AT THE OPENING.

IT'S VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE FORTHCOMING AND IT WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF THIS DISTRICT.

VERY, VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.

SO I CAME TO YOU ALL IN THE PAST AND BASICALLY SHARED WITH YOU THAT AT HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL WE HAD SANITARY SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM ISSUES.

WE HAD RAW SEWAGE BASICALLY RUNNING DOWN THE PARKING LOT.

AND WE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME MAJOR, MAJOR REPAIRS.

WHEN ME AND OUR WB, THE THE ENGINEERING FIRM THAT THAT PRESENTED THAT DAY, WE EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A VERY COMPLEX PROJECT AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK IT UP IN TWO PHASES BECAUSE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROJECT.

SO WE GOT STARTED AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE STARTED DOING SOME EXPLORATORY WORK FROM THE OUTSIDE AND KIND OF SEEING WHERE WHERE WE'RE HAVING THESE ISSUES, THE MAJOR ISSUES THAT WERE COMING THAT WE WERE THAT WE WERE FACING WERE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CAFETERIA AREA WHERE THE GREASE TRAPS WERE AT, GREASE TRAPS WERE OVERFLOWING AND THE PIPING WAS LEAKING.

AND THEN WE WERE GETTING IT ACROSS THE THE PARKING LOT.

SO PROJECTS GOT STARTED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS STARTED, YOU KNOW, EXCAVATING THE AREA, SAW CUTTING CONCRETE, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL THESE LINES WERE LOCATED AND AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE LINES.

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE PIPING LOOKS LIKE UNDER HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE SANITARY STEEL PIPING THAT'S DETERIORATED AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S LEAKING AND LEACHING OUT INTO THE SOILS. AND THEN THE ACTUAL THICKNESS OF THAT PIPE, IT'S DETERIORATED.

IT'S OUTLIVED HIS LIFE CYCLE.

SO WE KNEW WHEN WE UNCOVERED THIS THAT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE FACING THERE AT HUDSON.

AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE, ONCE WE DID SOME EXPLORATORY WORK, THEN THE REAL WORK STARTED.

I MEAN, WE STARTED EXCAVATING THAT WHOLE AREA.

IT WAS A MAJOR, MAJOR JOB WITH THE SMALL WE HAD A SMALL WINDOW, IF WE REMEMBER, WE DIDN'T WANT TO IMPACT THE STUDENTS THERE AT HUDSON.

SO WE HAD A VERY SMALL TIMELINE TO GET IT DONE.

WE HAD PROBABLY AROUND 16 DAYS TO GET THIS WORK DONE.

THE CONSTRUCTION CREW BROUGHT IN SOME SOME EXPERTS AND WE GOT IT DONE AND WE MET THE TIMELINES AND WE DIDN'T IMPACT STUDENTS THERE AT HUDSON.

AGAIN, HERE'S ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OR AN EXAMPLE OF THE PVC PIPING THAT REPLACED THAT THAT STEEL PIPING TO MEET ALL THE NEW CODE REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONAL MANHOLES WERE ADDED SO WE WE COULD ACTUALLY OBSERVE THE WATER, THE SEWAGE, THE DRAINAGE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY GOING THROUGH THE SEWER LINES.

SO WE HAVE SOME INSPECTION PORTS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GET IN AND ACTUALLY SEE, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS FLOWING LIKE IT SHOULD BE.

AND THEN THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS PRETTY MUCH WHEN WE COVERED EVERYTHING UP AND THEN WE COVERED UP THE THE CONCRETE, WE ENDED UP PATCHING THE CONCRETE AND EVERYTHING'S BACK TO NORMAL.

A MATTER OF FACT, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THEY LAID THE SOD AND WE'VE WRAPPED UP HUDSON PHASE ONE.

ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY QUESTIONS? MR. MILLER. YEAH. REAL QUICK, REMIND ME.

THE AGE OF THE HUDSON SCHOOL.

HAVE YOU MAY HAVE HERE.

YOU MAY HAVE TO HELP ME HERE.

BUT I BELIEVE HUDSON WAS BUILT IN THE 90S.

YOU DON'T HAVE THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS IN THE 90S.

25, 30, I THINK 93.

YEAH. SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY 30, 30, 30 PLUS YEARS.

YEAH. SO THAT'S ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE FOR THAT TYPE OF PIPE.

[01:20:01]

THAT WHOLE AREA OF SACHSE, THE SACHSE AREA AS MS. GRIFFIN SAID, IS WHEN THEY BUILT THOSE, THOSE CAMPUSES.

HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY SOIL MOVEMENT THERE? YES. SO AS I GO INTO THE PHASE TWO IN LATER PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT WE FOUND EXPOSED GOING INTO THE PHASE TWO AND THAT WILL BE LATER IN IN THE PRESENT.

LATER IN THE AGENDA, THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO AGENDA ITEMS, ONE FOR THE ACTUAL CONTRACT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PHASE TWO AND THEN COMING BACK FOR A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTMENT FROM FROM THE FROM THE BOARD TO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THAT PROJECT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. MOVING ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, PAUL. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN RECEIVE A PRESENTATION REGARDING JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT BIZTOWN SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.

JAVIER FERNANDEZ.

GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE CHAIR BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

LOPEZ.

WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU A INFORMATIONAL ITEM THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WORKING WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT TO CHANGE OUT ONE OF THE SPONSORS IN ONE OF THE AREAS.

SO I HAVE WITH ME MR. BRUMAN, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF OUR CTE PROGRAM.

I'M GOING TO ALLOW MR. BRUMAN TO START THE CONVERSATION FIRST TO TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM ITSELF, AND THEN I WILL SPEAK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTABILITY OF IT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN BEACH BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. LOPEZ. ONCE AGAIN, I'M COLEMAN BRUMAN, CT DIRECTOR FOR THE DISTRICT.

MR. FERNANDEZ INVITED ME HERE JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY ABOUT JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT.

WHAT WE DO AND THE CONTRACT THAT WE CARRY WITH THEM.

SO JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT IS THAT CAPSTONE PROJECT FOR ALL OF OUR FIFTH GRADERS THAT ARE IN MATH CLASSES.

THEY END UP AT THE CTC AND THEY SPEND THEIR FINAL LESSON OF 12 EXPERIENCING WHAT GOES ON IN A BUSINESS.

THEY GET A JOB, SOME KIDS BECOME MAYOR, THEY ALL PAY TAXES.

THEY ALL CRY A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN THEY ALL SPEND TIME.

YOU ALL SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE CHICK FIL A SPACE RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL LAST YEAR.

SO THE CONTRACT FOR THIS, IT'S AN INTERESTING CONTRACT.

IT WAS A TEN YEAR COMMITMENT FROM THE DISTRICT.

WE DO THREE YEAR RENEWALS, WHICH WE JUST DID ONE THIS SUMMER.

AND THEN WE ALWAYS ENGAGE WITH EACH OTHER EVERY YEAR JUST TO BRUSH UP ANY CHANGES.

ONE CHANGE, FOR EXAMPLE, LAST SUMMER WAS MOVING FROM SIXTH GRADE TO FIFTH GRADE.

AND ACTUALLY JUST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, SEEING IT IN THE BUILDING, AWESOME DECISION BECAUSE NOW KIDS ARE HYPED UP ABOUT SECONDARY.

USUALLY FIFTH GRADERS AREN'T LIKE, YAY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT NOW THEY REALLY ARE AND THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY CAN ENTER INTO.

SO WHAT'S CHANGING NOW IS THOSE BUSINESSES THAT HIRE JOBS AND GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SIMULATE LIFE.

THEY CHANGE ON THE FLY AS JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT RECRUITS NEW PEOPLE.

SO IN SHORT, AMERICAN AIRLINES HAS FALLEN OFF AS A PARTNER WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT, AND NOW SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS COMING ON.

AND THAT'S WHERE MR. FERNANDEZ WILL PICK UP WITH HOW THEY'RE CHANGING THE BUILDING.

THANK YOU, MR. BRUMAN.

SO THE AREA THAT WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT, THE BIZTOWN AREA, SO I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE FRONT AREA.

THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE AN EXISTING AMERICAN AIRLINES IN THE EXISTING AREA, THE AREA THAT'S IN GREEN THERE, LIGHT GREEN.

SO THE CONTRACT RENEWAL, MR. RUBIN HAS MENTIONED THAT HE'S MENTIONED THE PORTIONS ABOUT THE CAPSTONE PROJECT.

IT'S A THREE YEAR PROJECT.

EXCUSE ME. IT'S A TEN YEAR PROGRAM WITH THREE YEAR CONTRACTS.

SO WORKING WITH SOUTHWEST AIRLINES JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO REPLACE THE AMERICAN AIRLINES AREA FOR THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THERE'S NOT MUCH FOR US TO DO HERE BECAUSE SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AND JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF MOST OF THE OR ALL 95% OF THE WORK THAT YOU SEE THERE. A LOT OF THIS IS GRAPHICS THAT ARE CHANGING FROM THE AMERICAN AIRLINES AREA OVER TO THE SOUTHWEST AREA.

YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM PICTURE OF WHAT THE AREA WOULD LOOK LIKE ONCE SOUTHWEST TAKES OVER.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME MAINLY GRAPHICS.

[01:25:01]

SO THIS SPACE OVER HERE, YOU SEE THAT LIKE IT'S GOT A ROUNDED AREA THAT'S THAT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT WITH SOME AIRLINE SEATS WITHIN THAT SPACE. THOSE AIRLINE SEATS WILL BE REPLACED WITH SEATS THAT THAT MIMIC THE SOUTHWEST AIRLINE SEATS.

THE AREA WILL BE REPAINTED FOR SOUTHWEST LOGOS.

WE'LL HAVE THE SOUTHWEST LOGO THERE.

WE HAVE ONE WINDOW THAT FACES THE CORRIDOR IN THE CTC.

THAT WINDOW WILL HAVE A SOUTHWEST LOGO ON IT.

AND SO WORKING WITH THE GROUP, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES, CONCERNS WITH THE WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

SO BASICALLY THE COST IS GOING TO BE ON THEM ON THEIR TICKET.

THAT IS CORRECT.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT IS WORKING WITH SOUTHWEST TO DO THE CHANGES.

VERY GOOD. SO AS THESE COME ABOUT, JUST TO MENTION THE TERMS OF WHEN IT DOES CHANGE SINCE THEY'RE USING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT WAS BUILT FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES, THERE'S NO COST TO THE DISTRICT.

BUT IF WE DO ANOTHER PARTNERSHIP ALONG THE WAY, IT'S THEY CALL IT A WARM REFRESH.

SO A PAINT JOB MAYBE MOVING SOME POWER OUTLETS TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER DEVICES THEY NEED AND THEN THEY TAKE OVER FOR THE REST OF IT.

OKAY. YEAH, I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT.

AS I'VE TAKEN GROUPS ON TOURS THROUGH THE FACILITY OVER THE YEARS, SEVERAL THIS YEAR OF LOCAL BUSINESSMEN AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, RAISING THE PROFILE OF GISD AND DIFFERENT THINGS.

FIRST OF ALL, THE BUILDING AND THE FACT THAT JA IS RIGHT THERE, YOU GOT TO WALK PAST IT REALLY TO GET ANYWHERE.

AND IT'S JUST A VERY IMPRESSIVE ROOM.

AND JUST TO TELL YOU THAT I GET A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE TOURS.

IMPRESSED THAT WE HAVE SUCH A FACILITY THERE WITH SUCH A VARIETY OF BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT IT.

SO KUDOS TO JA FOR BEING INVOLVED WITH GISD IN THIS PROJECT.

AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ENCOURAGING AND THE WAY THAT YOU'VE DEVELOPED THE KIDS AND BRING THE KIDS IN AND GIVE THEM THE EXPERIENCES THAT THEY NEED.

TO ME, IT'S ONE OF THE THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE KIDS OVER AND ABOVE MATH, READING, WRITING AND THINGS IS GETTING THEM EXPOSED TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE REAL WORLD. AND REALLY, JA HAS GONE A LONG WAY TO HELP BRING OUR KIDS KIND OF INTO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

SO THANK YOU, MR. BRUMAN, FOR AND YOUR STAFF FOR WHAT YOU DO THERE.

IT'S REALLY GREAT.

THANK YOU.

DR. LOPEZ. MR. BRUMAN, COULD YOU JUST GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH JA BIZTOWN, HOW MUCH WE'RE EXPECTED TO PAY? BECAUSE WE DO THE CHARGING STRUCTURE, JUST SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, THERE IS ONE COST ON THE DISTRICT FOR THE CONTRACT.

IT'S FOR THE CURRICULUM FOR EVERY STUDENT THAT PARTICIPATES.

SO THERE IS A IT'S BETWEEN 65 AND $70,000 FOR THE CURRICULUM BASED ON ENROLLMENT FOR THAT FIFTH GRADE GROUP.

BUT THAT'S THE..

AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS THAT COME IN? HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO INTERFACE WITH JA AND THEY WOULD SCHEDULE IT WITH THE ON SITE COORDINATOR THAT'S GOT A LITTLE OFFICE INSIDE THE FACILITY.

THEY WOULD PAY JA FOR THAT AND THEN THEY WOULD COME TO OUR FACILITY.

BUT THERE'S NO COST INCURRED BY GISD FOR THAT.

AND WE WELCOME HARMONY AND ILT TO COME SO I CAN SEE OUR AWESOME FACILITY AND ENROLL HERE IN GARLAND ISD.

YOU GOT IT. WAY TO GO MR. GRIFFIN. YEAH. WE HAVE A QUESTION.

CLARITY? YES, MA'AM.

THAT $70,000 FIGURE.

SO OUR FIFTH GRADERS, OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING OVER AND NOT PAYING ARE THAT IS THE FEE THAT'S IN THERE.

SO THE STUDENTS DON'T INCUR ANYTHING..

NO, NO, NO. WHAT WE ARE PAYING PER STUDENT.

IS PAID TO JA FOR THE CURRICULUM.

AND THAT'S HOW MUCH PER STUDENT.

OH I WOULD HAVE TO DIVIDE IT OUT REAL FAST.

I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC PER STUDENT COST.

SO OUR COST IS THE CURRICULUM WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE STUDENTS.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE IMPACTED BY THAT? YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS? I WOULD SAY ROUGHLY 3500 IN A GRADE LEVEL.

PERFECT. YEAH. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GOOD JOB, MR.

[01:30:02]

MOVING ON TO NUMBER EIGHT, REVIEW THE ATHLETIC TRACK AND FIELD RENDERINGS.

JAVIER FERNANDEZ.

THANK YOU. COMMITTEE CHAIR BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

LOPEZ. WANTED TO PRESENT TO YOU.

THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM ON THE STATUS OF THE ATHLETIC TRACKS, GIVING YOU AN IDEA TO LOOK AT THE RENDERINGS THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FROM THE BOARD AND WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK WITH YOU.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THIS IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE THAT WE ARE DOING TURF REPLACEMENTS FOR OUR FIELDS, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THE PROPER BRANDING ON OUR FIELDS AS WELL.

AND SO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I CIRCLE BACK WITH YOU TO SHARE WITH YOU HOW THESE FIELDS ARE PROPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.

OKAY. THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE ARE WHAT YOU HAVE IS A COUPLE OF OPTIONS.

SO I'LL JUST START WITH WILLIAM STADIUM.

WILLIAM STADIUM HAS FOUR OPTIONS THAT I'M PRESENTING TO YOU NOW.

THESE AREN'T THE LET ME CLARIFY.

WE HAVE FOUR OPTIONS THAT I'M PRESENTING TO YOU, BUT SINCE THIS PRESENTATION, WE HAVE WHITTLED THAT DOWN WORKING WITH ATHLETICS.

AND I HAVE DR.

GRIFFIN HERE WITH ME WHO IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE FIELDS THEMSELVES AND THE GRAPHICS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT ON THESE FIELDS.

SO WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.

WILLIAM STADIUM, HBJ STADIUM.

WE WANTED TO CREATE BRANDING THAT LETS EVERYONE KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN GARLAND ISD, BUT ALSO THAT GARLAND ISD HAS MULTIPLE HIGH SCHOOLS.

AND SO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT THE LOGOS FROM THE EACH HIGH SCHOOL SO THAT EACH HIGH SCHOOL IS REPRESENTED AT THE STADIUMS AND THEN EACH HIGH SCHOOL WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN LOGOS AT THEIR SPECIFIC CAMPUSES.

SO THE FIELDS YOU SEE, IT'S A DIFFERENT SHADING.

IT'S A LIGHT, DARK SHADING OF COLORS FOR THE ACTUAL PLAY FIELD THAT HAS REALLY BECOME THE STANDARD NOW FOR MOST FIELDS THAT YOU SEE ANY NEW FIELDS OR ARE GOING WITH THE VARIATIONS IN COLOR FROM A LIGHT GREEN TO A DARK GREEN.

THE END ZONES WOULD BE A RED WITH GARLAND ISD ON BOTH SIDES.

AND THEN WE WANTED TO BRAND THE FIELD ITSELF BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO IS TO BRAND THE FIELD, LET PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT.

SO WILLIAM STADIUMS WOULD BE BRANDED ON THAT FIELD.

AND SO THESE ARE JUST SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED WITH ATHLETICS.

AND AS I STATED, WE HAVE WHITTLED THIS DOWN.

BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE VARIOUS OPTIONS THAT WE SHARED WITH ATHLETICS.

HOMER B JOHNSON STADIUM, IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRACK AROUND IT.

IT IS A BOWL.

AND BECAUSE IT'S A BOWL, IT THE, THE DIMENSIONS OF IT ARE MUCH MORE DIFFERENT THAN WILLIAM'S.

AND SO KEEPING KEEPING THE IDEA OF HAVING HIGH SCHOOL LOGOS ON EACH ONE WE HAD TO SPLIT THE LOGOS BETWEEN THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT SIDE TO ACCOMMODATE THE LOGOS FITTING THERE AT HBJ.

SO THIS IS AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR HBJ.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO THE OPTIONS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOLS, WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY SETTLED ON AN OPTION.

BUT WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT THIS WAS PRESENTED WITH MULTIPLE OPTIONS.

SACHSE HAVING THE NAME SACHSE, THE NAME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ON ONE SIDE AND THEN THE NAME OF THE MASCOT ON THE OTHER SIDE WANTED TO MAKE SURE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT WAS, YOU MAY KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING THERE AND YOU'RE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SEE AN EVENT.

BUT WE WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT THERE IN GARLAND ISD.

SO IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO AND TO HAVE THAT GARLAND ISD SYMBOL ON THE PLAYING FIELD SO PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN GARLAND ISD IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FIELDS TODAY, PLAYING GREEN, NO, EMBLEMS OR ANYTHING, IT'S JUST A GREEN FIELD.

SO AGAIN, WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK WITH YOU AND SHARE WITH YOU ALL OF THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT DOING AT AT THE FIELDS.

LAKEVIEW, CENTENNIAL, GOING MORE WITH THE BLUE AND THE BLUE BLACK GROUND WITH THE YELLOW LETTERING.

NAIMAN, NAIMAN IS VERY MUCH A FORCE GREEN COLOR FOR THE CAMPUS.

AND I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

WE LOOK AT NAIMAN AND YOU SAY, BOY, THAT'S A BIG ORANGE THERE.

[01:35:02]

SO THE OPTION TWO IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE THAT WE'VE SETTLED ON, BUT WANTED TO KEEP THAT IN THERE TO SHOW YOU THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE PRESENTED.

SO EACH ONE OF THESE HAS ROWLETT THE EAGLES THEMSELVES.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE CAMPUSES.

THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BRANDING THAT WE ARE DOING WITH THESE CAMPUSES.

AND THANKFULLY, TO ALL OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, EVERYONE WHO GOT OUT AND VOTED BECAUSE OF THE BOND, WE'RE NOW ABLE TO MOVE THIS BALL FORWARD.

THAT NOW WILL INCLUDE NORTH GARLAND AND SOUTH GARLAND ALONG WITH THOSE FIELDS AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM.

I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU GAVE US FOUR OPTIONS ON THIS VERY FIRST ONE ON WILLIAMS STADIUM.

AND TO ME, THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.

SO IT'S THE WAY IT SAYS WILLIAMS. OKAY. THE LETTERING ON WILLIAMS. OKAY. THE LETTERING ON WILLIAMS IS DIFFERENT.

OKAY. OKAY.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

WELL, MY QUESTION MY QUESTION IS THIS.

WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION ON THIS? INSTEAD OF PUTTING GARLAND ISD IN THE ENDZONE? I KNOW WE HAVE SEVEN MASCOTS, BUT LOOKING AT PUTTING 4 IN 1 END ZONE AND THREE IN THE OTHER TO IMPLEMENT BECAUSE THE REASON MY QUESTION GOES THERE IS BECAUSE WHERE YOU HAVE THOSE LISTED RIGHT NOW, EVERY TEAM THAT PLAYS EVEN OUR OWN SCHOOLS PUT UP THOSE TUNNELS AND THOSE ARE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE SEEN WHEN THEY PUT UP THOSE TUNNELS WHEN THEY RUN THROUGH BEFORE THE GAME.

DO YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YES, SIR, I DO.

IN THE MOCK UPS, MR BEACH.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT PUTTING THE MASCOT OR THE LOGOS IN THE END ZONES, IT JUST LOOKED REALLY BUSY.

YOU COULD, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO DECIPHER THE LOGOS WHEN THEY WERE ALL IN THE END ZONE BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING WITH A LITTLE BIT SMALLER OF AN AREA GOING ACROSS.

AND SO BASED ON THE DESIGN TEAM THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH, THAT WAS DEEMED NOT A GOOD OPTION BECAUSE OF THE VISIBILITY OF IT AND BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE LOGO WHEN IT'S ALL IN THE END ZONE LIKE THAT.

OKAY. BECAUSE I JUST YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THEY'RE GOING TO PUT UP THOSE TUNNELS, EVERYBODY THAT RUNS THROUGH THEM DOWN THERE ON THAT END ZONE.

AND I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS THEY'LL BE OUT OUT IN FRONT OF THE END ZONE THAT THEY'LL PUT THOSE UP INSTEAD OF BACK THERE WHERE THE LOGOS ARE.

BUT. RIGHT.

AND THEN THAT WOULD BE JUST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME WHEN AT HALFTIME WHEN THEY NORMALLY DO THAT.

AND SO THAT WOULD JUST BE FOR A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE ACTUAL GAME EVENT.

OKAY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT YOU'RE WANTING US TO LOOK AT HERE IS WHAT WE'LL BE VOTING ON WILL BE OUR DISCUSSING WILL BE ITEMS OPTION ONE, TWO, 3 OR 4.

HOW WE LIKE WILLIAMS STADIUM.

SO EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME.

YES, SIR. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY IS JUST THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM.

THERE'S NO VOTING TO TAKE PLACE HERE.

THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATIONAL TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE HOW THE FIELDS WERE GOING TO LOOK AND HOW WE'VE BEEN COLLABORATING WITH OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP A BRANDING, IF YOU WILL, FOR ALL OF OUR BOTH OUR STADIUMS AND OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD? OH, LOOK HERE. ALL RIGHT. MR GRIFFIN.

YOU GO FIRST. I KNOW IT'S INFORMATION TONIGHT, BUT ARE WE GOING TO BE EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THIS AT SOME LATER DATE? OKAY. IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

AND BECAUSE I MEAN.

YES. YES, VERY GOOD QUESTION.

AND THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.

SO IN PRIOR BOND PROGRAM, THE BOARD APPROVED THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT ALONG, APPROVED THE DESIGN TEAM ALONG WITH THE PROJECT ITSELF.

THE FOLLOW UP TO THAT IS TO ACTUALLY APPROVE THE WORK, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WORK, AND THAT'S A FOLLOW UP THAT WILL HAPPEN.

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING HERE.

THE WORK ITSELF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DELIVERY METHOD IS HOW WE'RE PROCURING THIS.

SO THE DELIVERY METHOD WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THROUGH A BUY BOARD COOPERATIVE.

THAT'S ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT PROCUREMENT METHOD THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND THAT IS A BUY BOARD COOPERATIVE UNDER A CONSTRUCTABILITY STANDPOINT. SO TYPICALLY WHEN YOU USE BUY BOARD, YOU BUY PRODUCT, YOU CAN BUY SUPPLIES AND UNIFORMS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THIS IS THIS IS A BUY BOARD CONSTRUCTION PIECE.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU, THE BOARD, AND PRESENT TO YOU A RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS US TO USE THAT DELIVERY METHOD.

[01:40:01]

NOW, I WANT TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TIMING, BECAUSE TIMING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS WE'VE GOT FIVE FIELDS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET DONE BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL. WE'D LIKE TO GET THESE DONE BY AUGUST THE 1ST.

SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, TIMING IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR US TO GET ALL OF THIS WORK DONE.

THAT BEING SAID, I MUST PART.

WHAT THE STATUTE REQUIRES ME TO DO IS TO PRESENT TO YOU A DELIVERY METHOD FIRST.

YOU THEN APPROVE THAT DELIVERY METHOD.

ONCE THAT IS DONE, THEN I'M ABLE TO SOLICIT FOR A COST PROPOSAL BECAUSE OF THE TIMING THAT EXISTS WITHIN THIS, OUR GOAL IS TO BRING YOU BACK A COST PROPOSAL TO APPROVE IN THE MAY BOARD MEETING.

OKAY. THAT'S IN TWO WEEKS.

THAT'S TO PRESENT TO YOU THE COST PROPOSAL.

I CAN'T DO THAT COST PROPOSAL UNTIL I DO A RESOLUTION.

YOU HAVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION.

SO I'VE GOT KIND OF A QUANDARY HERE THAT I'M WORKING THROUGH THE URGENCY TO GET THIS PROPOSAL OUT OR SOLICITATION OUT SO THAT I CAN GET A PROPOSAL BACK WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE OR SHOULD I SAY I'M ASKING THIS MAY NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING JUST TO DO THE RESOLUTION OF A OF A DELIVERY METHOD FOR THIS SO THAT I CAN THEN SOLICIT FOR A PROPOSAL TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT BACK TO YOU ON THE 24TH.

BECAUSE ONE OF ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO DO IS I REALLY NEED TO GET STARTED WITH THIS WORK AT THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING OF OF JUNE SO THAT I CAN GET ALL OF THIS WORK DONE.

HOW SOON CAN YOU GET THIS TOGETHER? WE WILL HAVE OUR CANVASING MEETING NEXT TUESDAY AND IT'S A SPECIAL MEETING WHERE THEY'LL BE BOARD ACTION.

SO YOU COULD ADD THIS TO THAT AGENDA IF YOU NEED.

WE COULD HAVE IT DONE BY NEXT TUESDAY BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING THE CANVASING MEETING.

YES. YES.

YOU'VE LEARNED SO WELL OVER THE YEARS.

I THINK THAT WOULD FIT PERFECTLY IF THE BOARD.

IF THE BOARD THINKS SO, WHAT'S THE DATE ON THAT? WELL, WE HAVE IT A WEEK FROM TODAY.

SO TODAY IS THE NINTH.

16TH. YES.

WHAT TIME IS THE CANVASING MEETING? WHENEVER THEY ARE AVAILABLE, WE CAN I WILL SEND AN EMAIL OUT HERE.

MAYBE WE COULD DO A WORKING LUNCH.

WE COULD DO DEFINITELY DO THAT.

TECHNICALLY, I ONLY NEED TWO FOR THAT, BUT I'LL NEED FOUR FOR THIS ACTION ITEM.

SO ANY FOUR OF YOU WHO WOULD BE HERE FOR LUNCH NEXT TUESDAY WOULD BE GREAT.

I'LL SEND AN EMAIL OUT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET ME KNOW RIGHT NOW.

BOARD. LOOKING TO THE LEFT.

TO THE RIGHT. YEAH, BECAUSE THERE'S THE RETIREMENT CELEBRATION IS THAT EVENING AT 630.

AT 530. WE WILL DO IT DURING THE DAY.

I PREFER THAT SINCE TECHNICALLY THAT TUESDAY IS MY NOT BOARD MEETING TUESDAY.

SO WE COULD DO IT AT LUNCH.

CAN WE GO AROUND THE ROOM TO SEE IF EVERYBODY IS AVAILABLE? MR. GLICK. WE WILL SEND AN EMAIL AND YOU CAN RESPOND TO MY EMAIL.

I'M JUST ASKING. I KNOW I'M ASKED ASK TOO, BUT I'M GONNA ASK OFFICIALLY IN THIS EMAIL AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU I'M GOING TO LET YOU WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOU JUST RESPOND FOR ME. YOU'RE SO KIND TO ME.

THANK YOU. I KNOW ANYTHING FOR YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THE PEN. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THE FIELD.

WE'RE VOTING ON THE PROCESS.

AND THEN WE VOTED ON.

THEN THE PROJECT. THE FINAL PROJECT? YES. MR. BEACH. MR MILLER.

MR. GRIFFIN.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

IT'S BEEN 100 YEARS SINCE I'VE PLAYED ON TURF AND I REMEMBER THE METHOD THAT WE USED WAS THE OLD ASTROTURF, AND EVERYWHERE THERE WAS A PAINTED NUMBER OR ANYTHING IT WAS SLICK.

WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN YOU GOT ALL THIS COLOR ON THE FIELD? IS IT A STAINED ASTROTURF THAT DOESN'T LOSE ITS TRACTION OR IS IT PAINTED? HOW DO THEY PUT THE COLOR ON THE TURF? WELL, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AS FAR AS BECAUSE I'VE INVESTIGATED A LOT OF STUFF.

I WAS READY FOR ALMOST ANY TURF QUESTION BUT THAT ONE.

SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN ON THESE FIELDS, WE'VE GONE AND DONE A LOT OF ON SITE VISITS TO DIFFERENT DISTRICTS, AND I'M NOT

[01:45:01]

IT IS NOT SLICK. IT'S NOT GOING TO CAUSE THE ATHLETES A PROBLEM.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? MR GLICK.

YEAH. WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THE PICTURES, I SAID, WELL, THIS IS JUST THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION, BUT I'M GATHERING NOW.

THERE ARE FOUR FINAL VERSIONS.

BUT THE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME AND THIS IS MORE THE WILLIAMS STADIUM IS THAT ON MANY OF THE GAMES WE HAVE, WE'LL HAVE GARLAND SCHOOLS COMPETING AGAINST GARLAND SCHOOLS.

RIGHT? AND I'VE BEEN TO ENOUGH STADIUMS WHERE I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED YOU HAD THE WILLIAMS STADIUM BOTH FACING THE HOME SIDE.

MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO TAKE ONE OF THEM AND FACE THE VISITOR'S SIDE.

NOW, WHEN YOU WHAT YOU DO ON THE GISD WITH THE MUSTANGS OR THERE'S ONLY ONE SET OF STANDS, THIS HAS TWO SET OF STANDS.

THAT WOULD BE MY CHANGE.

AND ALMOST I'M THINK I WENT BACK OVER MY MIND AFTER I SAW ALL THE STADIUMS I'VE BEEN TO.

THE OTHER SIDE DO FACE BOTH SIDES.

SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND A BIG OWL EMBLEM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STADIUM.

MR. SELDERS. YEAH, JUST REAL QUICK, DO WE HAVE LIKE A BOND? NOT A BOND, BUT A BRANDING PACKAGE THAT WE USE THROUGH THE DISTRICT THAT WILL MAKE SOME OF THESE DECISIONS A LITTLE BIT EASIER IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE DECIDING WITH THE FONT AND THE TEXT AND THE COLOR COMBINATIONS.

IT'S PRETTY THE FIELD DESIGNS ARE PRETTY STANDARD WHEN YOU LIKE WHEN YOU WORK WITH, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE GOING TO BE UTILIZING HELLAS TO TO IMPLEMENT AND INSTALL THE FIELDS. THEY'VE JUST GOT SOME PRETTY BASIC BASIC FONTS.

IT DOESN'T GET THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF OPTIONS LIKE 2 OR 3 OPTIONS.

AND THEN WE'LL GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE FIELDS AND SEE THAT.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A WHOLE LAUNDRY LIST OF OPTIONS THAT WE'RE CHOOSING FROM.

NO, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF WE HAD LIKE THROUGH OUR CPR DEPARTMENT, LIKE A BRANDING PACKAGE THAT WE USE FOR ALL COMMUNICATION.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. IN THIS PROCESS, WE'VE INVOLVED THE CAMPUS PRINCIPALS, THE COORDINATORS AND COACHES ON THE CAMPUS TO KIND OF GET SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THEIR DESIGN IDEAS AS IT RELATES TO COLORS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT AN OFFICIAL PROCESS.

. DR. RUSSELL CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT MR. GRIFFIN OKAY. YES, WE DO HAVE A STYLE GUIDE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE EXACT PANTONE COLOR, THE FONT LIKE WHAT THE STYLE IS FOR THE GISD, THE FONT FOR THAT, THE TORCH, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

WE DO HAVE THAT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO CONNECT THE DOTS.

YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I MEAN, THAT WOULD MAKE THIS DECISION A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND THAT MAKES IT MORE CONTINUOUS IN THE CONTINUITY A LOT BETTER.

THAT WAS JUST MY THOUGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. JOHNSON, HAVE WE SPOKEN TO THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AT EACH CAMPUS ABOUT WITH PARTICULAR WITH THE CAMPUS, THE CAMPUS FIELD DESIGNS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE MIGHT BE SOME VARIATION THEY WOULD WANT.

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, I'M LOOKING PARTICULARLY AT NEIMAN AND IT SAYS NEIMAN RANGERS.

AND I KNOW THAT THEY'VE SPENT A GOOD DEAL OF TIME BRANDING THEMSELVES AS THE FOREST.

SO IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD WANT THEIR END ZONES TO REFLECT THAT BRANDING.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

MR.. JOHNSON. AND WE HAVE THE PRINCIPALS AND THE COORDINATORS AT THE CAMPUS HAVE THE AUTONOMY TO DECIDE WHAT PARTICULAR BRANDING THEY WANT TO UTILIZE ON THEIR CAMPUS.

AND THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IS DECIDING WHAT WILL GO ON AT THE BIG STADIUMS. AND SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

THANK YOU. THAT AUTONOMY. GOOD QUESTION.

ANY OTHERS? ALL RIGHT.

SO WE'LL WAIT TO RECEIVE WORD FROM THE STATE, MISS MICHELLE HOGAN, ABOUT THE DATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO MEET AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

CORRECT. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

THIS IS EXCITING. THAT'S A GOOD BRANDING.

I LIKE THAT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM B DISCUSSION.

ITEM NUMBER ONE, DISCUSSION OF THE 2324 COMPENSATION.

[IV. B. Discussion Items]

DON'T THINK THIS IS GRADYNE BROWN SO WE'LL LET THE.

MR. WHITE.

CHAIRMAN BEACH, DR.

LOPEZ, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF DR.

GRADYNE BROWN. I'M ATTICUS WEISNER, DIRECTOR OF SECONDARY HR.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE THIS AFTERNOON.

AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU THE COMPENSATION PROPOSAL THAT I KNOW YOU GUYS VOTED ON IN PAST RECENTLY.

I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK OF EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD, BUT ALL THE PEOPLE IN HUMAN RESOURCES, ALL THE PEOPLE ACROSS THIS DISTRICT THAT HELP KIND OF ARTICULATE AND

[01:50:01]

AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD PLENTY WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS AND GIVE YOU ALL A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE ARE.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, MY DAD OPENED SELDERS MIDDLE SCHOOL IN 1972.

HE WAS A TEACHER AND A COACH THERE.

AND HE USED TO TELL ME, ATTICUS, YOU KNOW, I WAS A FULL TIME TEACHER.

I WAS A HEAD FOOTBALL COACH. I WAS A HEAD BASKETBALL COACH.

I ALMOST MADE $6,000 A YEAR.

I GO, WELL, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

AND SO I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT THAT.

AND TO SEE HOW FAR THAT WE'VE COME AND AND THE COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE MADE, YOU KNOW, COLLECTIVELY TOWARD NOT ONLY OUR TEACHERS, BUT OUR ENTIRE STAFF HERE IN GARLAND ISD MAKES ME FEEL VERY, VERY GOOD.

THIS OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OF TAKING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

AND I THINK THIS LATEST COMPENSATION PROPOSAL REPRESENTS A CONTINUATION OF THAT, THE SPIRIT OF THAT.

SO JUST REAL QUICKLY, I, I DO WANT TO PREFACE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE BUILT THIS COMPENSATION PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRICT, AT LEAST IN A VERY GENERAL SENSE.

SO I JUST WANT TO READ SOMETHING TO YOU ALL, BECAUSE REALLY THIS IS WHAT INFORMS HOW WE BUILD THIS OUT AND PROPOSE IT.

IT'S IT'S NOT A HAPHAZARD PROCESS AT ALL.

IT'S A VERY, VERY COMPLEX PROCESS THAT INVOLVES LOTS OF LOT OF VARIABLES AND A LOT OF RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS.

AND SO REALLY WHAT WE USE TO RECOMMEND AND INFORM THE GISD COMPENSATION STRUCTURE FOR 2324 AND INCLUDED A NUMBER OF THINGS AND INCLUDED THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS, THE TASB BENCHMARKS, OBVIOUSLY AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL AND IN SOME CASES EMERGING OR PENDING COMPENSATION DATA FROM SURROUNDING AND STATEWIDE ISDS, OUR OWN CURRENT AND OUR HISTORICAL COMPENSATION CONFIGURATION HERE IN GARLAND ISD, OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE BUDGET.

AND WE HAD AN OVERARCHING GOAL, I THINK, TO BEGIN DECOMPRESSION OF THE GISD TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE, WHICH I THINK IS THIS COMPENSATION PACKAGE REPRESENTS THE FIRST STEP IN WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE A NUMBER OF YEARS.

BUT I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND I'M VERY GLAD THAT OUR DISTRICT IS TAKING STEPS TO ADDRESS THAT PHENOMENON.

AND SO I WANT TO JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE OVERALL COMPENSATION PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE, MAKE SURE IT'S COMPREHENSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

AND IT'S REALLY BROKEN INTO FIVE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT I'LL TALK WITH YOU ALL ABOUT TONIGHT.

AND I WANT TO START WITH THE TEACHERS AND WHAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR OUR TEACHING STAFF.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TOOK THIS PROPOSAL AND WE PUSHED IT UPWARD, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ADDRESSED SOME KIND OF GRADUATED PROPOSAL FOR TEACHERS.

FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS.

A THERE'S OBVIOUSLY AN IMMEDIATE NEED AND AN IMMEDIATE HELP TO RAISE OUR TEACHER SALARIES, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE STARTED TO ADDRESS THE THE THE SALARY COMPRESSION PHENOMENON, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS GRADUATED PROPOSAL WAS ABLE TO DO.

AND SO FOR OUR TEACHERS, FOR 23, 24, WE HAVE CHANGED THE STARTING TEACHER SALARY TO $61,000.

AND THEN WE HAVE A GRADUATED RAISE PROPOSAL FOR OUR TEACHERS, TEACHERS WHO ARE IN YEARS 1 TO 7.

WE PROPOSED A 2% INCREASE.

TEACHERS THAT HAVE 8 TO 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IS A 3% INCREASE, AND TEACHERS WITH 15 MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ARE GOING TO GET A 4.5% INCREASE. ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, EVERYTHING I'VE LOOKED AT.

TO ME, THAT REPRESENTS AN EXTRAORDINARILY ROBUST COMPENSATION PROPOSAL FOR OUR TEACHERS.

I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR FOR OUR TEACHERS AND YOU ALSO CONSIDER WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR AND LOOK AT KIND OF HOLISTICALLY OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS, I WOULD SAY WE'RE AS AS AGGRESSIVE AS ANY DISTRICT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE BOND PASSING, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR OUR TEACHERS.

AND I THINK THAT THIS OUR SALARY COMPENSATION PROPOSAL KIND OF CONTINUES THE SPIRIT OF THAT.

THAT CONFIDENCE.

AND SO FOR ROMANIAN PROFESSIONAL STAFF OUTSIDE OF TEACHERS, THE PROPOSAL IS A 2% INCREASE FROM THE MIDPOINT OF THEIR SALARY.

THAT'S KIND OF THE SECOND CONCEPT OF THE COMPENSATION PROPOSAL IN TERMS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT STAFF AND AUXILIARY STAFF.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ON THIS WHEN WE INITIALLY SENT THAT INFORMATION OUT, AND WE HAVE SINCE ARTICULATED THAT TO PEOPLE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR, VERY CLEAR THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE VALUABLE.

EMPLOYEES THAT FALL INTO THESE CATEGORIES ARE GOING TO RECEIVE AT MINIMUM, A 2% RAISE.

OKAY. AND THE REASON I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION WITH THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE COMMUNICATED IT.

AND SO THE THINGS WE DID FOR THE OUR EMPLOYEES IN THOSE CATEGORIES, AS WE ARE THE MINIMUM STARTING SALARY ACROSS ANY OF THOSE JOB CATEGORIES HAS BEEN RAISED TO

[01:55:01]

THE EQUITY ADJUSTMENT THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NATURALLY WITHIN ALL OF THOSE PAY BANDS IS GOING TO BE A MINIMUM OF 1%.

OKAY? IN SOME CASES IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN 1%, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A MINIMUM OF 1%.

AND SO WITH THOSE THINGS, WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE AND THEN THERE'S A 1% RAISE ON TOP OF THAT.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE GET THE 2% FOR THOSE CATEGORIES.

SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OUR SUPPORT STAFF UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY WERE ALSO GETTING A 2% RAISE.

THE THIRD PART OF THE SALARY COMPENSATION PROPOSAL REALLY IS CENTERED AROUND RETENTION STIPENDS AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THAT, WHICH ARE ESSER FUNDED STIPENDS. AND THE PROPOSAL HAD $4,200 FOR ALL RETURNING TEACHERS, NURSES, LIBRARIANS AND COUNSELORS, AND THEN $2,000 FOR RETURNING FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND $1,000 FOR RETURNING PART TIME EMPLOYEES.

I THEY WORKED A MINIMUM OF 19 HOURS A WEEK.

SIR. 4200.

I'LL SAY IT ALL AGAIN, JOHNNY.

NO PROBLEM. $4,200 FOR ANY RETURNING TEACHER, NURSE, LIBRARIAN OR COUNSELOR.

OKAY. THAT'S THE RETENTION STIPEND THEY WILL RECEIVE.

ANYONE WHO IS A RETURNING FULL TIME EMPLOYEE OUTSIDE OF THOSE JOB CATEGORIES WOULD RECEIVE $2,000 IN ANY RETURNING PART TIME EMPLOYEE, MEANING THEY'VE WORKED A MINIMUM OF 19 HOURS A WEEK, WOULD RECEIVE A $1,000 RETENTION STIPEND.

AND THEN THE FINAL KIND OF PIECE OF THIS FIVE PIECE COMPENSATION PROPOSAL HAS TO DO WITH THE SIGN ON BONUS FOR PEOPLE THAT WILL BE NEW TO THE DISTRICT.

WE'LL BE GIVING A $1,000 SIGN ON BONUS TO EMPLOYEES THAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS EXEMPT EMPLOYEES AND A $500 SIGN ON BONUS TO EMPLOYEES THAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS NON EXEMPT EMPLOYEES.

AND ONCE AGAIN, I THINK THIS WAS INFORMED BY LOTS OF VARIABLES THAT I KIND OF PREFACED THIS PRESENTATION WITH.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT EVERYONE IN HUMAN RESOURCES AND IN MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS THAT KIND OF COLLABORATED WITH US, BRANDY'S OFFICE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

BUT WE FEEL IT'S I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS COMPENSATION PROPOSAL, AND I APPRECIATE THE BOARD APPROVING THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'LL HELP TREMENDOUSLY IN RECRUITING AND RETAINING EMPLOYEES HERE IN GARLAND ISD.

SO IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

AND IF I CAN'T ANSWER THEM, HOPEFULLY BRANDY OR ANNALISE CAN.

BUT IF I CAN ANSWER ANYTHING, PLEASE, PLEASE ASK ME.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? ANY QUESTION FROM THE BOARD? MR. GLICK. THANK YOU, SIR. I WAS VERY PROUD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO HAVE MADE THE MOTION.

I THOUGHT WE DID SOME GREAT THINGS IN THAT PACKAGE THAT YOU JUST REFERENCED.

ABSOLUTELY. BUT THEN WE STARTED GETTING EMAILS AND SEVERAL EMAILS, SOMETIMES VERY LENGTHY EMAILS FROM A LOT OF SENIOR PEOPLE ON OUR STAFF, DIAGNOSTICIANS AND SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS.

THING THAT I REMEMBER READING THINKING, WOW.

SEVERAL OF THEM REFERENCED CONVOCATION LAST YEAR WHEN DR.

LOPEZ TALKED ABOUT HIS FOUR PILLARS FOR THE DISTRICT.

AND ONE OF THOSE PILLARS WAS A WORLD CLASS SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.

AND I'M THINKING, WOW, I AGREED WITH THAT 100%.

AND THEN I READ WHAT THESE TWO DIFFERENT STAFF POSITIONS WERE TALKING ABOUT.

THEIR OVERLOAD, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE 50, THEY HAVE ALMOST 90.

HOW FAR WE'RE DOWN ON THEIR POSITIONS IN BOTH CASES, THE WORKLOAD, THE EXTRA DOCUMENTATION AND THE EXTRA EDUCATION THEY HAVE, THE CONTINUING EDUCATION, THE FEES THEY PAY.

AND IT JUST CONCERNS ME THAT WE'VE MISSED TWO GROUPS.

NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I'VE HEARD. I'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION WE'RE GOING TO OPEN A CAN OF WORMS. WELL, MAYBE WE HAVE TO OPEN A CAN OF WORMS, BECAUSE I THINK THESE TWO GROUPS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE OTHER GROUPS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT, FROM DR.

LOPEZ, FROM ADMINISTRATION TO LOOK AT THESE TWO GROUPS AND SAY, IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE TODAY.

I DON'T HAVE A SUGGESTION, BUT I THINK IF YOU READ EACH OF THE EMAILS, WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS WE'RE UNDERSTAFFED.

WE WORK MULTIPLE CAMPUSES.

WE KEEP LOSING PEOPLE.

AND IF WE WANT TO HAVE A WORLD CLASS SPECIAL ED DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THESE PEOPLE.

[02:00:03]

SO THAT'S MY THOUGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? MAY I RESPOND REAL QUICK? JUST JUST FOR CLARITY, MR GLICK.

WHEN WE GO THROUGH THESE THINGS, WE ALWAYS LOOK AT THE TASB STUDY.

AND I WANT TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT.

WHEN THESE INITIATIVES FIRST STARTED BY THE STATE, WHEN THE STATE FIRST STARTED THESE INITIATIVES, THE WHOLE THING WAS TO KEEP TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM AND NOT HAVE TO LEAVE THE CLASSROOM TO MAKE MORE MONEY, TO GO TO ADMINISTRATION, LEAVE THE INDUSTRY OR JUST LEAVE THE CLASSROOM ENTIRELY.

THE PREMISE WAS TO GET TEACHERS TO $100,000, AND EVERYBODY APPLAUDED THAT UNTIL THEY REALIZED THE REALITY THAT THEY'LL BE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THE ADMINISTRATORS. OKAY.

AND WHEN YOU MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ADMINISTRATORS, THEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WELL, WHY WOULD I BE AN ADMINISTRATOR WITH ALL THESE PRESSURES WHEN I COULD GO BACK AND BE A TEACHER? WELL, THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THEY DID THIS.

AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY THEY DECOMPRESS IT.

AND IF YOU START LOOKING AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS, THE LEGISLATURE, THE LEGISLATURE IS PUTTING ALL THIS MONEY INTO SPECIAL EDUCATION.

NOW, A LOT OF THE MONEY THAT WE PUT IN IS GOING TO BENEFIT SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES, WHICH WE'RE EXTREMELY SHORT ON.

WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME FILLING SPECIAL ED CLASSES AND AIDES.

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

I'M NOT DISCOUNTING THE WORK OF OUR DIAGNOSTICIANS AND OUR LSPS AND EVERYBODY ELSE, OKAY? THERE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE PAY SCALE.

THAT'S WHY THEY WERE NOT PART OF THIS.

SOME OF THE MISNOMERS WAS THAT COUNSELORS AND LIBRARIANS GET MASTER'S DEGREES.

THEY DON'T THEY DON'T GET THE STIPEND FOR MASTER'S DEGREES.

IF IT'S A REQUIREMENT, YOU YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

AND WE EVEN WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE LIST TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ANOMALIES THAT ARE HAPPENING.

I MEAN, WE SCRUBBED IT.

THE SECOND THING WE DID TO VALIDATE WAS THAT ARE THEY WITHIN MARKET? OKAY. SO WHEN WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS AND WE DID OUR ANALYSIS WITH TASB AND YOU LOOK AT YOU LOOK AT THESE JOB CATEGORIES, RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A CATEGORY. WELL, THEY ARE WITHIN MARKET.

THEY'RE EITHER AT 100% OR HIGHER.

AND SO WE WENT AHEAD AND SCRUBBED ALL THAT DOWN.

SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THESE CATEGORIES, THE ISSUE ISN'T THAT WE DISCOUNTED THEM OR FORGOT THEM.

THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE ON ADMINISTRATIVE PAY SCALE BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED ADMINISTRATORS.

WE GAVE ADMINISTRATORS A 2% PAY RAISE.

NEVER HAVE WE DIFFERENTIATED DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADMINISTRATION.

YOU KNOW, THEY ARE, SPECIAL ED IS A SHORTAGE.

THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN SPECIAL ED THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY.

OKAY. WE DO NEED THEM.

AND I JUST WANT TO GIVE A PICTURE THAT NOTHING WAS IGNORED.

WHEN WE LOOK AT MARKET ANALYSIS, OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ARE THE SAME WAY, THEY HAVE MASTER'S DEGREES.

THEY DON'T GET MASTER'S STIPENDS.

THEY HAVE UNBEARABLE CASELOADS.

THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T GET A DEVIATION.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS HOLISTICALLY, I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES THAT GO ON INTO THIS.

RIGHT? BUT BECAUSE AT ONE TIME THEY WERE SEPARATED FROM THE TEACHER PAY SCALE, WHICH WAS FINE UNTIL THE TEACHER STARTED MAKING A LOT OF MONEY.

RIGHT. AND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ALL THESE STIPENDS.

THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE STARTED SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS AND SAYING, WOW, I COULD BE A COACH, I CAN MAKE A TIA MONEY, I COULD BE MAKING TEACHER MONEY, GET A MASTER'S, AND IT ALL ADDS UP.

WELL, THE WHOLE INTENTION WAS JUST THAT WAS TO HOLD TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOMS. NOW, WHEN YOU SAID OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF TEACHERS OR PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE INDUSTRY THAT HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE, JUST MAYBE NOT IN SPECIAL ED, IT COULD BE IN BILINGUAL EDUCATION, IT COULD BE IN OTHER FACETS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT PAY SCALE AND THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME PAY SCALE AS THEY ARE IN.

OKAY? AND THEN ONCE YOU DO SOMETHING THERE AND THEY JUMP THE PAY SCALE AHEAD OF THEM, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, HOW COME THEY GET TO JUMP ME? THAT'S THE NUANCES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE HAVE TO BALANCE, RIGHT? NOW, I'M NOT HERE SAYING THEY DON'T.

EVERYBODY DESERVES MORE.

EVERYBODY'S WORKING HARD.

BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, I FELT BY THE COMMENTS MADE THAT IT WAS NOT LOOKED ON AND DELIBERATE, THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WERE NEGLECTED OUT THERE, NOT PART OF THE TEACHER PAY SCALE.

AND THE BOARD SPECIFICALLY SAID, WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS FOR TEACHERS.

AND WHEN WE DEVIATE A STANDARDIZED PAY RAISE FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, RIGHT.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AS SOON AS YOU DIFFERENTIATE.

IF WE WOULD HAVE DIFFERENTIATED FOR ANOTHER CLASS OF PEOPLE, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A SEPARATE CLASS SAYING HOW COME THEM AND NOT US? RIGHT. THE GOAL HERE WAS TO DECOMPRESS.

[02:05:03]

RIGHT. BUT WE WENT WITH THIS THIS STAGGERED APPROACH AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WAIT A MINUTE, IT DREW ATTENTION TO IT.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GETTING MORE PERCENTAGE? WHENEVER I HAVE HIGHER CASELOADS NOW, WE COULD LOOK AT STAFFING.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE COULD LOOK AT.

WE COULD LOOK AT ALL THESE THINGS BECAUSE CASELOADS DO LOOK DIFFERENT THAN THEY DID IN THE PAST.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE STARTING TO LOOK AT PAY STRUCTURES, JUST UNDERSTAND THAT WE DID LOOK INTO IT.

WE THEY ARE WITHIN MARKET OR HIGHER.

THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

WE DO WANT TO RETAIN THEM.

AND MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT WE COULD LOOK INTO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WE JUST TOTALLY IGNORED A PORTION OF AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR OF OUR WHOLE ORGANIZATION.

MS. GRIFFIN. I JUST WANT TO HAVE ONE ASK FOR ONE REQUEST.

YES, MA'AM. THE INFORMATION THAT YOU WERE GIVING US JUST THEN, I THINK THAT WAS CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IN SOME TYPE OF FLIER.

AND COULD WE EACH GET A COPY OF THAT? YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

I MEAN, YOU ALL CIRCULATE AND WE ARE NOT IN THAT CIRCULATION.

SO EVERYTHING YOU READ, I THINK I'VE SEEN IT BASICALLY SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT'S WHAT WE VOTED ON.

BUT FOR US TO ACTUALLY SEE THE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE COMMUNICATING THIS TO THE REST OF THE STAFF WOULD BE HELPFUL.

YES, MA'AM. I'LL SEND THAT TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

AND. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ELSE.

SO. I'M NOT QUITE SURE I'M FOLLOWING.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING.

SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SO DID THEY GET JUST SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE GETTING A 2% INCREASE AND WHAT THEY'RE MISSING IS THEY'RE GETTING THAT STAGGERED THE 7 TO 14, 15 TO PLUS.

THAT'S THE AND THE STIPENDS.

SO FROM FROM THE LETTERS WE GET, RIGHT.

THE COMMON THING IS TEACHERS GET THAT BULK RIGHT.

PLUS, THEY'RE THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR STIPENDS.

PLUS, THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.

LET'S JUST SAY THE PLUS THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR CURRICULUM WRITING.

SO WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT A TEACHER SALARY, THERE'S COULD BE HIGHER THAN THEM WHO HAD TO GET A MASTER'S, HAD TO GET CREDENTIALED, HAVE TO MAINTAIN THEIR CREDENTIALS.

AND THEY'RE SAYING, WHY WOULD I INVEST SO MUCH MONEY IN MYSELF WHEN NOW A TEACHER MAKES MORE MONEY THAN ME? THAT'S BASICALLY THE ARGUMENT.

AND THEN WHEN WE DID RETENTIONS, RIGHT, FOR CRITICAL NEED AREAS AND OTHER AREAS, THEY'RE SAYING, WHY WOULDN'T YOU INCLUDE THIS CLASS? BECAUSE THERE SHORTAGES THERE.

SO THEY'RE NOT DISCOUNTING THE NEED FOR TEACHERS TO MAKE MONEY, BUT THEY'RE SAYING WHAT YOU JUST DID, WHICH MRS ME TOO.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU AS A BOARD.

I'M PART OF THE TEAM OF EIGHT.

BUT WE JUST DID IS CREATE AN IMBALANCE WITH TEACHERS MAKING MORE MONEY THAN ADMINISTRATORS.

OKAY. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOVEMENT FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS TO START GETTING TEACHERS TO MAKE SO MUCH MONEY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE A GOOD LIVING. AND SO BY US DECOMPRESSING SO LAST YEAR WHEN WE MADE THE 60%, WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS DECOMPRESS THE VETERANS.

AND SO WHEN WE DID, WHEN WE DID THE STAGGERED RATE LIKE WE DID, OKAY, THEN WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS MAKING THEM ELIGIBLE TO BE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN A LOT OF ADMINISTRATORS, WHICH COULD BE MAKING MONEY AS THEIR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ON CAMPUS, WHICH WHICH IS KIND OF THE GOAL, RIGHT? SO WHEN YOU ADD TIA AND STATE INITIATIVES, THEY WANT TEACHERS TO STAY IN THE CLASSROOMS. THEY DON'T WANT TEACHERS TO SAY, MAN, I HAVE TO MAKE MORE MONEY.

I'M CAPPED OUT AS A TEACHER BECAUSE THE STEPS ARE SO SMALL, THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO FIND I HAVE TO GO INTO WHATEVER, OKAY.

AND OR LEAVE THE PROFESSION ENTIRELY.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW.

AND YOU'LL SEE A SHIFT IN THAT.

OKAY. BUT HOW DO WE SO.

WHY AREN'T WE? AND I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THAT WE'RE AT MARKET VALUE.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEY, I'M UNCOMFORTABLE THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SHORTAGES.

IF WE WERE IN A PERFECT WORLD AND THEY WEREN'T DEALING IN THE SHORTAGES, THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'D BE ONE THING.

BUT WE'RE PILING ON WORK AS WELL IN THAT PARTICULAR GROUP AT A VERY AT RISK.

THAT'S THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO TO DO SOMETHING.

THERE'S OTHER THINGS WE COULD PROBABLY LOOK INTO.

[02:10:01]

SO IT'S IT'S NOT LIKE WE THINK OF TEACHERS AS THE SAME PAY GRADE.

WE DIDN'T SAY ONLY MATH TEACHERS GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.

RIGHT? WE DIDN'T SAY ONLY HIGH HARD TO FILL POSITIONS GOT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY. WE DIDN'T DIFFERENTIATE LIKE THAT.

WHAT WE DO ON THOSE IS GIVE THEM STIPENDS, ADDITIONAL STIPEND WORK TO DO THAT.

THAT COULD BE ONE POSSIBILITY THAT WE LOOK AT.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY'RE NOT OUT OF KILTER WITH THE REST OF THEIR INDUSTRY.

THEY'RE IN THE SAME KILTER.

BUT WHAT MADE THEM LOOK WAS HOW A TEACHING ASSIGNMENT NOW IS HIGHER IN SOME CASES THAN THEIR ASSIGNMENT WITH THE ABILITY TO GET THE EXTRA MONEY ON THERE.

THEY ALSO FEEL IT ISN'T FAIR THAT I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE AND THEY MAKE MORE MONEY AND THE MARKET IS THE MARKET, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE TEACHING MARKET IS HIGH RIGHT NOW TO GRAB TEACHERS.

AND SO WE NEED TO DO THAT.

WE COULD LOOK AT STIPENDS, OKAY, FOR HIGH NEED TO FILL AREAS.

WE COULD DO THAT.

THAT WAY WOULD ONLY WOULDN'T APPLY TO THEM.

BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IF YOU DIFFERENTIATE ONE SECTION OF PAY, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE A WHOLE IMBALANCE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER SECTION OF PEOPLE COMING UP THAT SAYS, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, WE DO ALL THIS STUFF TOO.

AND YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT US.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE DIFFERENTIATION COMES RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE ONLY HEARING IT FROM THEM RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU START ATTACKING THINGS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IT FROM ANOTHER SECTION BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, HOW COME THAT'S HAPPENING? AND WE'RE OVERLOADED IN THIS PLACE, TOO.

RIGHT NOW, EDUCATION IS STRESSED AND EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO FILL EDUCATION RIGHT NOW.

SO. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO I NEED TO ASK A QUESTION HERE.

WHEN YOU WERE GIVING YOUR PRESENTATION A FEW MINUTES, FEW MINUTES AGO.

YES, SIR. ARE THEY DO THEY QUALIFY THE ONES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? DO THEY QUALIFY FOR THE 2% RAISE WITH A WITH EQUITY INVOLVED IN THAT? OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE..

THE DIAGNOSTICIANS.

SO, YES. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE CAPTURED IN THAT GROUP OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES THAT GETS A 2% RAISE AT NO EQUITY.

NO EQUITY ON THAT.

NO, JUST 2% TOTAL.

NO, THE EQUITY REFERENCE WAS TO OUR PARAPROFESSIONALS AUXILIARY STAFF.

AND BUT NOT ONLY ARE THEY GET THE 2%, THAT 2%, THEY ALSO FALL IN THE DO THEY DO THEY ALL FALL IN THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

I MEAN THE STIPENDS AT THE THE RETENTION STIPENDS? SO THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR A $2,000 RETENTION.

2000? YES, SIR.

OKAY. SO THAT 4200 STIPEND IS GOING TO BE PUSHED FOR TEACHERS.

VERY. THE GROUPS ARE TEACHERS, NURSES, LIBRARIANS AND COUNSELORS.

OKAY. I GOT THAT. THOSE FOR THE FULL TIME STAFF IS THE 2000, WHICH THEY WOULD BE 2% PLUS THAT $2,000? YES, SIR. OKAY. THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. IS THAT RIGHT? YES. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CLARIFY WHY WE DID THE WHY.

TEACHERS, NURSES, LIBRARIANS AND COUNSELORS.

WHY THEY'RE GETTING THE 4200.

GO AHEAD, BRANDI. YES.

SO IN HOUSE BILL THREE, BACK IN 2019, THEY THE LEGISLATURE DEFINED A TEACHER, TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, LIBRARIANS AND NURSES AS THE CORE FOUR PART OF THE GROUP.

SO WHEN HOUSE BILL THREE INCREASED THE BASIC ALLOTMENT, IT SET A STATUTE TO SAY THAT FROM YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASE DUE TO THAT INCREASE IN BASIC ALLOTMENT, IT IDENTIFIED THE CORE FOUR IN THAT GROUP.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR HISTORY AFTER HOUSE BILL THREE, WE IDENTIFIED THAT CORE FOUR.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE CRITICAL SHORTAGES FOR OUR RETENTION STIPENDS, WE LOOK AT THE CORE FOUR BECAUSE IT'S DEFINED IN STATE STATUTE.

AND THERE'S A BILL I GOT TO CHECK WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW.

BUT IF WE'RE SHORT A NURSE, IF WE'RE SHORT A LIBRARIAN AND IF WE'RE SHORT.

I FORGOT WHAT ELSE? COUNCILOR. A COUNCILOR.

WE HAVE TO PUBLICLY POST IT AND LET THE WHOLE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT ON CAMPUS FOR ALL THE KIDS THAT ARE SERVING THEM.

MR. GLICK. YEAH. THANK YOU.

I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE, POTENTIAL LOOK INTO ADDITIONAL STAFFING AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR FROM WHAT WE'VE READ THAT THOSE POSITIONS ARE CLEARLY UNDERSTAFFED.

[02:15:01]

IS THAT WHAT THE I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO? SO EVERYTHING IS DONE BY NUMBERS AND WE HAVE TO VERIFY THE NUMBERS.

OKAY. SO I WILL SAY THE CASELOADS THAT THEY HAVE, I DON'T WANT TO SAY THEY FLUCTUATE BECAUSE FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND THEN THEY HAVE TO GET OFFSET.

IF SOMEBODY LEAVES, THEY'RE PICKING UP OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES IN AND THEN THE TRANSITION ISN'T IMMEDIATE.

AND MOST OF OUR DIAGNOSTICIANS AND LSPS CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY JUST DROP THEM AND SAY, FORGET IT, YOU KNOW? SO THE CASELOADS ARE DIFFICULT, RIGHT? AND IT'S HARD TO FLUCTUATE.

WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT.

THE ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING BACK AT IS TO SEE WHERE THE STAFFING GOES WITH OUR STAFFING GUIDELINES FROM GIBSON.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO SEE IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THE CASELOADS ARE MANAGED RIGHT, OR HOW WE'RE ATTENDING TO THOSE CASELOADS PROPERLY.

MAYBE WE'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB AND PUTTING WORK THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING ON THEIR SHOULDERS RATHER THAN WITH THE TEACHER OR OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD BE DOING.

SO THERE'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT IT RIGHT FROM A FROM A SYSTEMS POINT OF VIEW.

THE SECOND THING IS WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT SHORTAGE AREAS TO PUT IN A STIPEND.

AND WE WERE WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MONEY TO DO THAT IS.

SO IT'S UNIVERSAL, RIGHT? SO IF YOU HAVE A SHORTAGE IN AREAS, YOU CAN APPLY THAT STIPEND UNIVERSALLY RATHER THAN CALLING IT OUT LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, LIKE WE'VE SAID, A MATH STIPEND OR A SCIENCE STIPEND, YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BE A CRITICALLY SHORTAGE STIPEND, RIGHT? AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT.

AND I THINK THAT.

SENDS A MESSAGE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION DOES UNDERSTAND, HAS READ WHAT'S BEING SAID.

UNDERSTANDS THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THOSE POSITIONS AND IS LOOKING TO DOING SOMETHING.

SO THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? THANK YOU, MR. WAGNER. YES, SIR. THANK YOU ALL.

OKAY. ITEM B NUMBER 2, DISCUSS THE DISTRICT 2023 PROPERTY VALUES.

RANDY MAYO. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ. SO THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE I BRING YOU INFORMATION REGARDING OUR TAXABLE VALUES FOR INDICATOR 20 OF OUR FIRST RATING.

THIS IS A AGENDA ITEM THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT EVERY YEAR ABOUT THIS TIME.

SO CREATED IN 2001 BY THE 77TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE, THE FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS IS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO IMPROVE THEIR MANAGEMENT OF FISCAL RESOURCE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM ALLOCATION POSSIBLE FOR DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES.

SO EVERY YEAR IN THE FALL, MISS DAVENPORT DOES BRING OUR FINAL FIRST RATINGS.

AND THIS IS A COMPONENT OF THAT COLLABORATIVE ENTIRE REPORT.

AND SO THE STATE DOES REQUIRE US TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO YOU WITHIN 120 DAYS BEFORE ADOPTING OUR BUDGET THERE.

IN THE PAST, IT HAS KIND OF CHANGED.

WE WERE REQUIRED TO TALK ABOUT ESSER LAST YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT TAXABLE VALUES IN YEARS PAST AND TO IS SOME CHANGING THE LANGUAGE.

SO NOW WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT TAXABLE VALUES AND EFFECTS TO OUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REVENUE.

SO JUST TO GET STARTED, THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE.

THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN OUR BUDGET WORKSHOPS AND OUR BUDGET PRESENTATIONS.

BUT JUST TO REMIND YOU THAT AS OUR STATE FUNDING OR LOCAL SHARE FOR GARLAND ISD INCREASES, OUR STATE SHARE DECREASES.

SO HOUSE BILL THREE WAS LEGISLATION BROUGHT FORTH IN 2019 THAT WAS TO BASICALLY KIND OF KEEP US FLAT AS LONG AS WE STAY WITH THE SIMILAR ENROLLMENT AND STAY WITH A SIMILAR TAX RATE.

IT OFFSETS EACH OTHER.

SO AS OUR LOCAL VALUES CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, OUR STATE SHARE HAS DECREASED.

AND SO WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN OUR LAST BUDGET PRESENTATION.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DETAILS, SOME OTHER ITEMS TO CONSIDER WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REVENUE FLUCTUATIONS AS WE GO THROUGH NEXT YEAR AND THE UPCOMING YEARS IS WHENEVER WE BUILD OUR BUDGET AND WE'VE SHARED THIS WITH YOU BEFORE, OUR CMR FIGURES AND OUR STATE COMPENSATORY EDUCATION, THERE IS NUMBERS ARE ONLY PROJECTED.

SO WE TAKE WHAT THE DATA THAT WE KNOW AND THEN WE TRY TO PROJECT IT OUT AND THEN WE COME BACK AND TYPICALLY AMEND THE BUDGET AROUND JANUARY, FEBRUARY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THOSE UPDATES ONCE WE GET THOSE FINAL FIGURES.

AS YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE ON CURRENT YEAR VALUES, OUR TAX RATES ARE UNKNOWN.

WE USE ESTIMATES BASED ON CURRENT DATA AND OUR TAXABLE VALUES ARE ESTIMATED WITH CURRENT LAW AND DATA.

[02:20:05]

BUT OUR CERTIFIED VALUES ARE NOT KNOWN UNTIL JULY.

WE DO KNOW NOW, BECAUSE IT'S A LEGISLATIVE YEAR, THAT OUR CURRENT FUNDING FORMULAS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, AND SO THAT COULD AFFECT OUR REVENUE ITEMS LIKE HOUSE BILL 100 WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HAS CHANGES TO OUR REVENUE CALCULATIONS, BASIC ALLOTMENT, OTHER FLUCTUATIONS TO OUR BUDGET COULD CONSIDER ESSER PROGRAMS, UPS AND DOWNS RELATED TO SHARES AND INTEREST INCOME VARIATIONS.

SO WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THOSE SPECIFIC ITEMS, BUT THOSE DO AFFECT OUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REVENUE.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS SLIDE A LOT AND WE'VE CERTAINLY BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PHENOMENON.

THIS IS A SLIDE THAT TIA IS SHARED WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE PROJECTING FOR ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS, THE FUND BALANCE ADS THAT WE SAW IN 21 AND 22 AND THEN 20.

21 AND 22 LAST YEAR AND THEN THE PRIOR YEAR.

THE STATE IS LOOKING AT THAT.

TO EXPECT US TO USE THOSE FUND BALANCE SAVES TO COVER ANY DEFICITS AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE YEARS AS ESSER BEGINS TO END.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS I MISSED AND MISS DAVENPORT MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT ESSER IS WE'RE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THOSE PROGRAMS, MONITOR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UTILIZING EVERY AVAILABLE DOLLAR AND THEN MAKING PLANS FOR THOSE FUNDS TO END IN THE COMING FUTURE.

SO JUST TO LOOK FORWARD, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I DISCUSSED HERE AS THE LINE OF INTEREST INCOME.

WE ARE PROJECTING ABOUT 8.2 IN THE AMENDED BUDGET, BUT I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU IN JUNE AND LIKELY INCREASE THAT.

WE'RE SEEING SOME MORE GAINS THAN WE THOUGHT THERE.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO REMAIN AT 8 MILLION FOR FY 24.

AND THEN WE ARE SEEING SOME INCREASE IN OUR SHORES REVENUE FROM 2 MILLION.

SO WE'LL BE BRINGING BACK THOSE INCREASES AND DISCUSSING THOSE A LITTLE MORE IN DEPTH AS WE COME INTO THE NEXT BUDGET UPDATE.

AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR ANNUAL REVIEW FOR INDICATOR 20.

ANY QUESTIONS? MR. MILLER? UM, YEAH, THANK YOU.

JUST REAL QUICK.

UM. IN THE GO BACK TO CHART.

ONE MORE THERE IN THE OUTLINE BOX YOU HAVE BY SAVING 50 MILLION IN GENERAL FUND BALANCE ACROSS THE TWO YEARS MENTIONED, WE CAN SMOOTH THAT EXPENDITURES OVER THE NEXT.

WHERE DID THE 50 MILLION COME FROM? THIS IS AN ESTIMATED THIS WAS A SLIDE THAT TIA DEVELOPED IN THEIR PRESENTATION FOR ESSER ESSER FOR FUTURE FINANCIAL CLIFFS AS ESSER MS. IT WAS AN ESTIMATION THAT TIA PUT TOGETHER BASED ON DATA THAT THEY'VE SEEN ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

SO THE 50 MILLION IS THAT MONEY THAT WENT THROUGH OUR INCOME STATEMENT.

SO THAT THAT'S THE MONEY THAT WE SO OUR BUDGET IS SET.

IT'S THE MONEY THAT WE SPENT LESS THAN OUR BUDGET.

SO OUR YES, SO OUR CASH FLOW STATEMENT, OUR NET INCOME STATEMENT AT THE END OF THE YEAR THAT'S REPORTED IN OUR CAFR OR OUR ACFR NOW.

THAT'S THE NET IMPACT TO FUND BALANCE AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE STATEMENT.

SO IT'S BASICALLY THE UNSPENT REVENUE.

SO REVENUE EXCEEDED EXPENDITURES.

CAN I SAY IT ANOTHER WAY? PLEASE? DOES IT REPRESENT EXPENSES THAT WERE PAID BY ESSER THAT WEREN'T BORNE BY OUR GENERAL, OUR COLLECTIONS, OUR NORMAL COLLECTIONS? NO, THIS WOULD ONLY REPRESENT OUR GENERAL FUND DOLLARS.

SO I THINK THE INTENT HERE IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A SUPPLANT RULE WITH ESSER, THAT WE THE INTENTION WAS TO SUPPLANT OUR GENERAL FUND DOLLARS AND PROGRAMS INTO ESSER SUPPORTS, WHICH IN TURN WOULD SAVE THE GENERAL FUND MONEY TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT ITSELF IN THE FUTURE YEARS.

OKAY, SO AS ESSER WINDS DOWN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT NEED TO TRANSITION OVER TO THE OPERATING BUDGET, CORRECT? IS IS THAT NUMBER APPROXIMATELY 50 MILLION OR IS THAT A NO, NO, NO.

SO WE WHEN THE INITIAL ATTEMPT THAT WE PRESENTED, WHEN WE INITIALLY BROUGHT FORTH THE BUDGETS FOR ESSER TWO AND ESSER THREE WAS TO DO PROGRAMS WITH A SHORT TERM INTENTION IN MIND.

AND SO THOUGH KNOWING THAT THOSE FUNDS WERE GOING TO EXPIRE AND KNOWING THE STATUS OF THE GENERAL FUND TO NOT FURTHER IMPACT THE GENERAL FUND IN THE FUTURE.

[02:25:06]

SO NOW WE'RE DOING THE WORK TO LOOK AT THOSE PROGRAMS, TO SEE WHAT PROGRAMS MAY NEED TO CONTINUE, WHAT PROGRAMS ARE ARE SUCCESSFUL. AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT WORK NOW TO DETERMINE WHAT THE IMPACT MIGHT BE TO THE FUTURE BASED ON THAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT THAT WE EXPECTED TO SEE.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT WORK WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE, ABSOLUTELY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. JOHNSON. THANK YOU.

MS.. MAYO. I WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS TO THE SLIDE THAT YOU HAVE UP, BECAUSE, ONE, THEY'RE SAYING AVOIDING THE FUNDING CLIFF.

IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY, THERE THEIR MEANS OF US AVOIDING THE FUNDING CLIFF IS EFFECTIVELY TO REDUCE OUR SPENDING.

TO UTILIZE OUR FUND BALANCE AND REDUCE OUR SPENDING AND REDUCE OUR SPENDING.

SO WHENEVER YOU LOSE FEDERAL FUNDS, THESE ESSER FUNDS, YOU USE YOUR FUND BALANCE UNTIL YOU BASICALLY CUT YOUR SPENDING, UNTIL YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT INTO YOUR FUND BALANCE ANYMORE EFFECTIVELY.

SO THEIR GLIDE PATH IS JUST COMPLETELY 100% ON US.

SO THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING AS ANY, THERE'S NO GLIDER HERE.

NO, NO, SIR. OKAY.

I JUST I JUST LOVE THE HELPFULNESS OF THE TEA WITH RESPECT TO THIS CHART.

I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THEY DON'T REFERENCE ESSER.

THEY REFERENCE ESSER TWO AND ESSER THREE FUNDS ON HERE.

THERE'S A TINY LITTLE BIT IN 2019 2020 FOR ESSER ONE FUNDS.

THERE'S ONLY A TINY LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THEY STOLE THE ESSER ONE FUNDS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REMINDED BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THE STATE DON'T KNOW THAT, THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE US ESSER ONE FUNDS TO COME TO US AND WE NEVER GOT IT. THEY STOLE IT STRAIGHT UP.

I MEAN, I'M NOT I'M TIRED OF THIS CRAP THAT I HEAR FROM AUSTIN ABOUT ALL THE TIME, ABOUT WE'RE FUNDING EDUCATION.

THEY'RE GETTING FUNDING. THEY LITERALLY STOLE MONEY THAT CONGRESS WAS SENT SENDING TO US AND THEY KEPT IT.

AND NOW THEY'RE SITTING THERE SAYING, WELL, WE DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A PENNY HERE OR A PENNY THERE.

WHY DON'T YOU START BY GIVING US THE MONEY THAT CONGRESS WANTED TO GIVE US IN THE FIRST PLACE? THAT WOULD JUST BE A START.

INSTEAD OF HANDING US THIS STUPID CHART SAYING, OH, HERE'S THE HERE'S THE THE CLEAR GLIDE PATH TO YOU, GETTING EVERYTHING BACK TO WHERE IT WAS.

AND WHAT I WOULD POINT OUT ALSO IS THE AMOUNT THAT THEY WANT US TO BE SPENDING IS EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS IN 2019 BEFORE WE HAD 8% INFLATION, BEFORE WE'VE HAD TO GIVE TEACHER RAISES TO KEEP PEOPLE IN THE PROFESSION BEFORE ANY OF IT.

SO THEY'RE NOT COUNTING FOR ANY OF THAT MONEY, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY IT SOMEHOW.

BUT YEAH, DON'T DON'T WORRY, WE'RE JUST GOING TO USE A TINY LITTLE SLIVER OF OUR FUND BALANCE UNTIL WE CUT EVERYTHING, APPARENTLY LAYING OFF HALF OUR TEACHING STAFF BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I COULD THINK OF WE COULD GET TO THIS.

I MEAN, I THINK WE NEED TO AND THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO WAKE UP AND START COMING UP WITH REAL SOLUTIONS FOR THIS, BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HE SAID IT BETTER THAN YOU. MILLER.

NO, I'M JUST KIDDING. ANY OTHERS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON.

AND I AM UP NEXT.

OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THAT CORRECT? EXCUSE ME.

[IV. C. Action Items]

IT'S NOT LETTING ME. COME ON, BABY.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS FOR 22-23 GENERAL FUND.

MISS MAYO. SO I AM BRINGING YOU THE BUDGET TRANSFERS.

I WAS THINKING OF WHAT MR. JOHNSON SAID AND THINKING THIS MAY BUDGET AMENDMENT KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE POINTS THAT WERE MADE THERE.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE SHOWING ABOUT A $77 MILLION DEFICIT AFTER TRANSFERS OUT HERE.

WE DO KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SAVINGS FROM PAYROLL AND SOME NON PAYROLL ITEMS AND THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO QUITE BE THERE AT 77.

BUT WE ARE NOT EXPECTING TO SEE A BALANCED BUDGET AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

SO WE WILL BE UTILIZING SOME OF THOSE FUND BALANCE SAVES TO COVER THIS.

THE CHANGES ON PAGE 139 THAT YOU'LL SEE HERE ARE THE NORMAL BUSINESS CROSS FUNCTION TRANSFERS.

THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR THAT WE START TO DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

THE SCHOOLS ARE GETTING ALL OF THEIR FUNCTIONS IN ALIGNMENT TO CARRY ON FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE ONE CHANGE REGARDING THE INFORMATION THAT MR.

[02:30:01]

THIS IS A BUDGET TRANSFER OUT FOR THE HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL SANITARY LINE REPLACEMENT PHASE TWO $753,291.

AND THERE IS A CONTRACT THAT'S GOING TO BE DETAILING THIS.

BUT WHEN I RESEARCHED THAT, IT ACTUALLY SAID IT'S BASED ON COMMON CORE AND I THOUGHT WE DIDN'T DO COMMON CORE MATH.

GOOD EVENING. I'M TOBY SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY MATH AND SCIENCE.

EUREKA MATH IS OUR STATE RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.

IT'S A HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM THAT WE'VE HAD THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

IS IT ALIGNED WITH THE COMMON CORE MATH THAT WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING? IT IS ALIGNED WITH OUR STATE STANDARDS.

OUR TEKS YES.

SO THEY ADVERTISE IT AS THAT IS ALIGNED WITH OUR TEKS AND COMMON CORE.

SO I'LL ASK IT AGAIN.

IS IT BASED IN ANY WAY WITH COMMON CORE MATH? IT IS ALIGNED WITH OUR STATE STANDARDS AS THE STATE HAS PROVIDED US A VARIETY OF WELL, 2 OR 3 CHOICES FOR STATE RECOMMENDED HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND ARE THOSE OTHER STATE RECOMMENDED AS ALIGNED WITH THE COMMON CORE AS EUREKA? I HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO THOSE.

IS THIS. GO AHEAD DR.

COME ON, KIM. GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES AND DR.

LOPEZ. YES. SO THEY ARE GOING TO PROVIDE US WITH A WAY TO HAVE SOME DATA DASHBOARDS THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT AND THOSE CALCULATIONS, STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

BUT ONE THING THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE THAT IS KIND OF MISSING IN OUR SUITE OF DATA ANALYSIS IS THE ABILITY TO RUN CALCULATIONS THAT ARE PREDICTIVE IN NATURE SO THAT WE CAN ANALYZE OUR PERFORMANCE DATA AT A MUCH MORE RICH AND DEEPER LEVEL AND THEN CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES IN OUR PROGRAMING BASED ON THAT ANALYSIS.

SO IT'S PREDICTIVE MODELING.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM F, CONTRACT 499-23-03.

THIS IS ONE WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT.

YES. FOR 1,000,005.

I MEAN, IS IT THAT MUCH WORK OUT THERE THAT ONLY ONE PERSON WOULD BE MR? MR GLICK? YES, SIR.

ANYTIME WE HAVE ONE RESPONSE, OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN FROM PROCUREMENT.

ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WHEN WE HAD THE BID OPENING, THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX PHASED PROJECT THAT INVOLVES SOME VERY EXTENSIVE TUNNELING UNDER THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. SEVERAL OF THE CONTRACTORS HAD DID NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE NOR WANTING TO TAKE THE RISK TO TAKE ON THAT CONTRACT.

SO IT WAS JUST THE PLANNING, THE PHASING AND THE EXTENSIVE USE OF TUNNELING UNDER THE BUILDING.

WE ESTIMATE THAT ADDITIONAL WORK WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 200,000, WHICH WOULD MAKE THE NEW NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $600,000.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM E, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN AMOUNT FOR HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL SANITARY SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A VOTE HERE ON THIS TONIGHT.

NO. THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT AND THIS IS JUST APPROVAL.

YES, SIR. THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FACILITATE THAT PROJECT.

I THINK MISS MAYO MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THERE WAS A BUDGET INCREASE TO FACILITATE THE HUDSON SEWER LINE.

THIS IS THAT.

YES. SO, YES, TRUSTEES, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL REQUEST THAT'S COMING BACK TO YOU.

ORIGINALLY, THE SCOPE OF WORK WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THE SEWER REPLACEMENT FOR PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO.

THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD WAS $1 MILLION.

AFTER PHASE ONE WAS COMPLETED AND THE DISCOVERY OF THE OF THE ROTTED PIPING UNDER THE BUILDING AND THE ADDITIONAL SCOPE THAT WAS GOING TO BE REQUIRED, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRENCH TUNNEL UNDER THE BUILDING ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 14FT UNDER THE BUILDING.

ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS IS MR MR MILLER, YOU WERE ASKING EARLIER ABOUT THE SOIL CONDITIONS.

WE HAVE REALLY BAD SOIL CONDITIONS.

THE PIPE CANNOT LAY BACK IN THE SOIL AGAIN.

IT WILL DETERIORATE AGAIN.

SO WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN IS ALL THE PIPING WILL BE SUSPENDED ON ON A HANGER SYSTEM UNDER THE BUILDING.

SO IT DOESN'T LAY ACTUALLY IN THE DIRT SO IT WON'T ROT OUT AGAIN.

SO THERE'LL BE A TUNNEL UNDER THE BUILDING.

THERE'LL BE A TUNNEL UNDER THE BUILDING.

THE TUNNEL WILL BE BACK.

IT WOULD BE FILLED BACK IN AFTER THE WORK IS DONE.

BUT THE PIPE WILL SIT SUSPENDED UNDER THE FOUNDATION, SO IT WON'T ACTUALLY BE IN THE SOILS BURIED IN THE SOILS ANYMORE, BECAUSE IF NOT, IT'LL DETERIORATE AGAIN. DO THEY HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THE DITCH FROM CAVING IN ON ITSELF? SO ANOTHER THING, THAT'S WHY THE COST HAS INCREASED.

WE HAD TO BRING IN A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND A CIVIL ENGINEER TO ASSIST WITH THE DESIGN.

[02:45:06]

PROJECT IS TO KICK OFF LATE, LATE, LATE FEBRUARY AND RUN ALL THE WAY THROUGH NEXT SUMMER.

SO IT'S A LOT OF PREPLANNING, ORDERING THE MATERIALS.

IT'S VERY COMPLEX.

THAT'S WHY THE THE SCOPE IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR.

AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, WE DID IDENTIFY THIS AS SOME OF THE SCOPE THAT WAS IN THE BOND PROGRAM.

SO WHEN WE DID THE ASSESSMENT, THE PIPING WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT THE ACTUAL BUDGETED COST WAS WAY UNDER THIS PRICE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT BAD.

SURE. ARE YOU GOING TO CRAWL UNDER THERE AND TAKE PICTURES FOR ME? I MAY GET UNDER THERE JUST JUST TO SEE HOW IT HOW IT FEELS TO BE UNDER THE BUILDING.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? MR. GLICK? NO MR. MISS DANLEY. SO JUST SO THE CONTRACT, 499-23-03 FOR THE 1.5 MILLION IS PART OF THIS PHASE TWO AS WELL.

JUST I'M CONFUSED.

OKAY. SO ORIGINALLY ON THE BACK, YOU'LL SEE.

YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE THE ACTUAL CONTRACT, THE WELL, IT WAS IN THE CONTRACT.

THE ORIGINAL THE ORIGINAL CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROJECT WAS NOT TO EXCEED $1 MILLION.

OKAY. PHASE ONE.

THE PHASE ONE COSTS.

YOU'LL HAVE A BUDGET.

YOU HAVE A BUDGET BREAKDOWN.

THE ORIGINAL PHASE ONE WAS ACTUALLY ONE CAME BACK AT $153,000, 759.

THAT WAS TO COMPLETE PHASE ONE.

PHASE TWO, WE PROPOSED THE ESTIMATE WAS $846,244, BUT THE PROPOSED BUDGET CAME BACK AT 1.52 355. THAT'S TO COMPLETE PHASE TWO.

YOU'RE SO CONFUSED.

OKAY. YES.

YES. NO.

SO TONIGHT YOU'RE APPROVING.

WELL, NOT TONIGHT AT THE BOARD MEETING.

YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE FOR PHASE TWO, 1.5 23055 TO THE RECOMMENDED MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR, UNITED MECHANICAL. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE FOR PHASE TWO.

BECAUSE THE BUDGET WAS SHORT.

I'M COMING BACK TO YOU TONIGHT TO INCREASE THE BUDGET BY 753,000.

THE LIGHT BULB JUST WENT OFF.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MR GLICK.

SO THE WHOLE PROJECT IS 3.2 MILLION? NO. OKAY. THE WHOLE PROJECT? NO. NO, SIR.

NO. THE WHOLE PROJECT WILL BE BASICALLY THE 153,000 THAT WE SPENT FOR PHASE ONE AND ONE.

AND IF YOU APPROVE AT THE BOARD MEETING, 1.5 TO 355 FOR PHASE TWO, THE TOTAL AMOUNT WOULD BE 1.75. YES, 1.75.

GOT IT. GOT IT.

OKAY. ANY OTHERS.

THANK YOU, PAUL. THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ITEM FIVE. EXECUTIVE SESSION.

DR. LOPEZ, WE HAVE ANY EXECUTIVE SESSION.

NO, SIR. SEEING NONE.

MOTION TO ADJOURN.

MOVE TO ADJOURN.

MR. GLICK, WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT TO START YOUR MEETING?
