ITEM FIVE INFORMATION.

[V.D. Receive Intruder Detection Audit Report]

I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A BUSY DAY.

THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

HAPPY TO DO IT. GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR LOPEZ.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THE TOP PRIORITY OF GARLAND ISD AND THE STATE OF TEXAS IS KEEPING STUDENTS AND STAFF SAFE EVERY DAY.

THE TEA AND REGION TEN RECENTLY CONDUCTED AN INTRUDER DETECTION AUDIT AT ONE OR MORE OF OUR CAMPUSES.

THE AUDITS TEST WHETHER A CAMPUS IS ACCESSIBLE TO AN UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL.

THIS AUDIT SEEKS TO HELP PROTECT.

THIS AUDIT SEEKS TO HELP DISTRICTS IDENTIFY HOW CAMPUSES CAN IMPROVE SAFETY FOR STUDENTS, SUCH AS ENSURING EXTERIOR DOORS ARE LOCKED.

THE AUDIT PROVIDES US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAFER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR DISTRICT SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TRAINING ALL OUR STAFF AND SECURING OUR DOORS FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERYONE AT OUR CAMPUSES.

THE SUPPORT FROM THE STATE AND CONDUCTING THE INTRUDER AND DETECTION AUDIT IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING TO ENSURE OUR SCHOOLS ARE SAFE.

WE KNOW THAT THIS WORK DOES NOT END AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S SUPPORT.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE LIKELY VERY INTERESTED IN THE DETAILS OF THE AUDIT RESULTS.

HOWEVER, IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS THAT WE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION TO THE BROADER PUBLIC AS IT COULD LEAD TO COMPROMISING IMPORTANT CAMPUS SECURITY INFORMATION. SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE INTRUDER DETECTION AUDIT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE.

GARLAND ISD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ITEM SIX AND WE WILL MOVE TO B SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS WEATHER.

[VI.B. Superintendent's Report]

THUNDERSTORM QUICKLY TRANSPIRED INTO A TORNADO AND BIG PARTS OF OUR TRI CITY AREA.

OUR PRAYERS ARE GOING OUT TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY IT.

THOSE STILL WITHOUT POWER.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY IT, EITHER DEVASTATED BY THE HIGH WINDS.

NO ELECTRICITY OR NO TECHNOLOGY FOR THAT.

THAT'S WHY WE CANNOT HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE ALWAYS IN THE OPTIMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.

WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

PLEASE BE PATIENT.

WE KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE YEAR.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED.

WE DO ANTICIPATE NO PROBLEMS WITH GRADUATIONS.

THANKFULLY, THE CURTIS CULWELL CENTER WAS UNAFFECTED BY THIS STORM, AND SO TOMORROW THEY'RE GOING TO BE HAVING GRADUATIONS FOR ROCKWALL AND ROCKWALL, HEATH, THOSE ARE STILL A GO, AND WE HOPE THAT TONIGHT'S STORM WON'T HINDER ANY PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE FOR TODAY.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED FROM WHEN WE.

YES, WE HAD SOME CLEAN UP.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M ASKING.

OKAY. NOW'S THE TIME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO AT YOUR STATIONS, TRUSTEES, PLEASE OPEN YOUR FOLDER AS MISS RAY TAKES US THROUGH. THANK YOU, MISS RAY.

GOOD EVENING. BOARD PRESIDENT, MISS GRIFFIN, RESPECTED TRUSTEES.

DOCTOR LOPEZ AS MISS GRIFFIN REFERENCED IN YOUR MANILA FOLDER, IS THE CHANGE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED FROM OUR FIRST READ, AND IF YOU LOOK ON THAT FIRST PAGE UNDER CHANGE ORDERS, THAT WAS THE CHANGE THAT MR. JOHNSON HAD REFERENCED.

WHERE IT STARTS IN THIS POLICY IN THAT BLUE LANGUAGE HE HAD INDICATED IN THE BOARD AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE BEST REFLECTED BY SAYING MEANS ANY CHANGE TO THE CONTRACT SUM NOT TO EXCEED 10% OF THE CONTRACTED FOR CONSTRUCTION COST, CONTRACT TIME, OR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND SO I WANTED YOU TO HAVE THAT BEFORE YOU.

SO YOU KNOW, THAT CHANGE WAS IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS, YOU'LL ONLY SEE THE FINAL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT, AGAIN, THIS POLICY IS TO ALLOW ADMINISTRATION TO EFFICIENTLY UTILIZE CHANGE ORDERS AND CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY FUND, AND THIS IS FOR SECOND READ.

MR. BEACH.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS.

IF MAYBE I CAN DIRECT IT TO DOCTOR LOPEZ.

DID WE DECIDE OR DID WE VOTE ON A PARTICULAR PERCENTAGE AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND ON EACH PROJECT, OR WILL THEY BE DIFFERENT? EACH PROJECT HAS ITS OWN COST FOR CONTINGENCIES BECAUSE OF THE SIZE, THE SCOPE, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

SO EACH ONE MIGHT BE 3%, ONE MIGHT BE FIVE, ONE MIGHT BE TEN, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IS THAT CORRECT? IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT, BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE'S SOME MATERIAL ASPECTS THAT GO INTO IT, BUT WHAT THIS IS SAYING IS WHEN THESE MATERIAL COST COMES, IF IT'S WITHIN THE CONTINGENCY, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVE IT AND THEN YOU GUYS WILL BE NOTIFIED.

THAT'S IT. PERFECT. THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

THIS IS NOT A SECOND READ.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION TONIGHT.

THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL REVISIONS ALLOWED PAST THIS POINT.

IF YOU ALL CHOOSE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL REVISIONS YOU MUST PULL IT TONIGHT AND WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN JUNE.

THANK YOU, MISS HOGAN.

I WAS, YEAH, GETTING READY TO DO THAT.

OKAY, SO, TRUSTEES, THIS IS FOR APPROVAL TONIGHT.

WITH THE MODIFICATIONS THAT'S IN YOUR FOLDER, I WILL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

YES. OKAY. MADAM PRESIDENT, A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICY CV.

LOCAL.

CV(LOCAL). OKAY.

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU. THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

B IS TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF REVISIONS TO POLICY BOARD POLICY DBA(LOCAL).

[VIII.B. Consider Approval of Revisions to Board Policy DBA (LOCAL)]

YES. PRESIDENT GRIFFIN, TRUSTEES, AND DOCTOR LOPEZ, THIS POLICY, THERE WERE NO CHANGES FROM THE FIRST READ FROM LAST MONTH. AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION DESIRES TO ALIGN THIS POLICY WITH THE DISTRICT'S INNOVATION PLAN AND WITH THE CURRENT RECRUITMENT AND SCREENING PROCESSES. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MISS STANLEY. SORRY.

THANK YOU. I MOVE TO ACCEPT.

I LOST MY PAGE, I APOLOGIZE, I MOVE TO ACCEPT THE MOVE TO APPROVE THE DBA(LOCAL) AS PRINTED IN OUR BOARD BOOKS.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED BY MISS STANLEY.

SECOND BY MR. GLICK THAT WE ACCEPT THE REVISIONS OF BOARD POLICY DBA(LOCAL) AS PRINTED IN OUR BOARD BOOK.

ANY DISCUSSIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? WE'RE READY FOR THE VOTE.

IF YOU'D RAISE YOUR HANDS, WE'LL.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEES, THAT PASSES 7 TO 0.

MISS RAY, YOU'RE STILL UP TO CONSIDER.

MISS GRIFFIN. YES. JUST REAL QUICK.

YES. YOU SAID, ARE WE READY TO VOTE BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE THEIR HAND.

IT WAS JUST A VOTE. SO MAYBE.

OKAY, WELL, MAYBE I CAN GO BACK AND SAY.

JUST CLARIFY THAT WE VOTED TO APPROVE.

OKAY, I READ IT.

OKAY, SO I WILL START OVER.

THANK YOU. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF REVISION TO BOARD POLICY DBA(LOCAL).

WE HAD A MOTION BY MISS STANLEY, A SECOND BY MR. GLICK. ARE YOU READY TO VOTE? IF YOU ARE, WOULD YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS FOR APPROVAL? BUT IS IT APPROVAL IS IN THE LANGUAGE.

WHICH IS WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION DESIRES TO ALIGN THE POLICY WITH CURRENT RECRUITMENT AND SCREENING PROCESSES AND ALSO UPDATE THE PAY GRADES REFERENCED IN THE POLICY TO CURRENT PAY GRADES OUTLINED IN THE SALARY SCHEDULES.

THIS IS FOR APPROVAL, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES SINCE LAST MONTH.

OKAY. TRUSTEES.

ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU, MISS RAY.

THANK YOU. D CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2023-2024 SALARY SCHEDULE.

[VIII.D. Consider Approval of Recommendation for 2023-2024 Salary Schedule Addendum Summer School Staff Pay]

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT GRIFFIN BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ.

YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OUR SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM, PAYMENT FOR OUR ADMINISTRATORS, AND THIS WILL BE AN ADDENDUM TO OUR SALARY SCHEDULE.

THE PAYMENTS ARE FOR SUMMER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, AND IF YOU NOTE THERE'S AN ASTERISK BY SUMMER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, AND THAT ASTERISK REFERS TO THE FACT THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST SUMMER THAT WE PAY OUR SUMMER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, AND OR PRINCIPALS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO SUMMER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR DUTIES.

SO A HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL PAYMENT WILL BE $7,500.

[00:25:01]

MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL $5,000.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL $3,800.

ELEMENTARY SUMMER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL $5,000.

ELEMENTARY ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL $3,800.

EMERGENT BILINGUAL PRINCIPAL $6,100, AND THE POSITIONS OF SUMMER SCHOOL COUNSELOR, SUMMER SCHOOL NURSE, AND SUMMER SCHOOL LIBRARIAN AND TEACHERS WILL BE $40 PER HOUR.

IN ADDITION, OUR PARAPROFESSIONAL PAY WILL BE $15 PER HOUR.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? MR. BEACH? YES, SIR. MS. BROWN, SINCE THE FUNDING SOURCES ARE COMING FROM ESSER, IS TRS INVOLVED IN THAT PAYMENT OR IS THIS LIKE A STIPEND? THIS IS A STIPEND.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MISS STANLEY? JUST TO CLARIFY.

SO, HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN DOING THIS WHERE WE WERE GIVING THE PAY FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS? I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

I'VE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT SINCE 2001, AND EACH OF THOSE YEARS WE HAVE PROVIDED PAY TO THE SUMMER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.

SO HOW COME THE CHANGE? I JUST NEED TO HAVE ALL THESE OTHER FUNDS TO PAY OUT WITH.

NORMALLY, WHAT THEY DO IN OTHER DISTRICTS IS THEY DON'T PAY EXTRA, JUST BECOMES PART OF YOUR DUTIES TO RUN SUMMER SCHOOL SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR.

OKAY. SO IT'S ALREADY IN THE CONTRACT AND IT WILL BE IT WILL BE OKAY OKAY.

PART OF OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED.

THEY'RE PART OF THE CONTRACT DAYS THAT PERFECT, OKAY, THANK YOU.

OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2023-2024 SALARY SCHEDULE A DDENDUM FOR SUMMER SCHOOL STAFF? IS THERE A MOTION? MR. MILLER? THANK YOU, MISS GRIFFIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE 2024-2025 PAY RAISE RECOMMENDATIONS.

I'M SORRY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE APPROVE THE 2023-2024 SALARY SCHEDULE ADDENDUM FOR SUMMER SCHOOL PAY FOR STAFF.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED BY MR. MILLER. SECOND, BY MR. JOHNSON, THAT WE CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2023-2024 SALARY SCHEDULE ADDENDUM SUMMER SCHOOL STAFF PAY.

ANY QUESTION? ANY DISCUSSION? IF WE'RE READY TO VOTE FOR APPROVAL, WILL YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND? THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

TRUSTEES, I KIND OF JUST WANT TO, I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO SAY IT. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE TO ANYONE.

WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID THE WEATHER, OR THEREOF, FOR SAFETY, AND SO I WOULD ASK FOR US TO PAY ATTENTION CLOSELY TO EVERYTHING THAT'S BEING SAID AND LET'S KIND OF ASK THE QUESTIONS AND LET'S KIND OF KEEP IT MOVING UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET STUCK ON. SO I THINK WE CAN DO THAT, AND SO WITH THAT, MR. DODDS, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

[VIII.E. Action Item - Consider Approval of the 2024-2025 Pay Raise Recommendations for Garland ISD Employees]

TODAY WE'RE COMING TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROPOSED RAISES.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE STATED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL OPERATING ON 2019 REVENUE.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVEN'T HAD A RAISE IN FUNDING SINCE 2019, BUT AS WE KNOW, COST OF LIVING AND EVERYTHING ELSE FOR OUR TEACHERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE HAS GONE UP TREMENDOUSLY, AND SO AS WE WALK THROUGH THIS AND I'M GOING TO GO REALLY FAST THROUGH THE FIRST THREE FIRST SLIDES BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, AND SO THIS IS MORE OF OUR HISTORICAL DISTRICT RAISES AND THE DOLLAR IMPACT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS TO OUR BUDGET ROUGHLY AROUND $69.5 MILLION

[00:30:08]

ONE OF THE THINGS Y'ALL PROBABLY GOT MAD AT ME BECAUSE I SLOW PLAYED THIS A LITTLE BIT BUT BEING NEW TO THE AREA AND BEING NEW TO THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTED TO REALLY GO THROUGH WHAT WE FELT WE COULD DO, EVEN THOUGH AS A BUDGET MANAGER, IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING ADDING TO THE BUDGET AND INCREASING THE, THE BUDGET DEFICIT.

A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS OVER THAT, BUT THAT'S MY OWN PROBLEM, BUT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS UNDERSTANDING WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER DOESN'T ALWAYS LOOK GOOD TO OUR STAFF AND OUR COMMUNITY, AND SO TONIGHT YOU KNOW, AND AS WE APPROVE THESE, THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS MOVING FORWARD.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT RELENTLESSLY MOVING FORWARD THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP FROM THE LEGISLATURE AND HELP FROM OUR VOTERS AS WE LOOK AT A VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE ELECTION PROBABLY COMING UP IN NOVEMBER OF 25, BUT MOVING ON FROM THAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS MOVING OUR BEGINNING TEACHER FROM 61 TO 61.5, AND THEN ALL OTHER TEACHING POSITIONS WILL RECEIVE A 3% INCREASE, AND OUR OTHER CAMPUS STAFF INCLUDING UP TO PRINCIPALS, WOULD INCLUDE A 3% INCREASE.

AUXILIARY PAY WILL BEGIN AT 1550, AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT ALL AUXILIARY RECEIVES AT LEAST A 3% RAISE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THEY ARE COVERED ALSO, AND THEN ALL OTHER STAFF, WHICH WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY CENTRAL OFFICE DESIGNATED PERSONNEL WHICH WILL BE MORE OF THE DIRECTOR AND, AND UP POSITIONS WILL RECEIVE A 2% INCREASE.

NOW, THE 3% ALSO INCLUDES ALL OF OUR [INAUDIBLE] POSITIONS, OUR SPECIAL ED POSITIONS, THAT SPEECH PATH AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. ALSO INCLUDES OUR COUNSELORS NURSES LIBRARIANS ALSO.

SO THAT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION.

ALL RIGHT, TRUSTEES, LET'S SIT TALL.

LET'S TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

BREATHE IN.

BREATHE OUT, AND LET'S START WITH THE QUESTIONS.

SO I'M OPEN FOR WHO HAS QUESTIONS.

MR. JOHNSON, I SAW YOU.

YOU WERE LOOKING AT ME, SO I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION IF ANYONE ELSE IS READY.

OKAY, WELL, LET ME SEE IF WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSIONS.

MR. MILLER.

YEAH. THANK YOU, MR. DODDS, AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS, AND THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS VERY DISTRESSING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE LIKE YOU, WHO HAVE TO WRITE THE CHECKS.

WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT A BUDGET DEFICIT OF $80 MILLION.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE $88 MILLION BY THE TIME ALL THE DUST HAS SETTLED THAT'S NOT A VERY SUSTAINABLE THING FOR US TO DO.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S INVOLVED WITH THIS DISTRICT.

WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE TEACHERS.

HELP THEM WITH PAY.

THE PROBLEM IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO OF THE DOLLARS THAT EXIST IN PUBLIC ED UNDER OUR CONTROL.

THEY'RE ALL DOWN AT THE STATE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.

THE STATE HAS CHOSEN NOT TO INCREASE OUR FUNDING SINCE 2019.

WE'RE GIVING RAISES OUT OF OUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

BY MY MATH OR BY ANYBODY'S MATH, WE CAN WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

[00:35:02]

ANY EXCESS THAT WE HAD IN THE GENERAL FUND WILL BE SPENT.

86% ROUGHLY OF OUR BUDGETS GOING TO SALARIES.

THAT'S NOT A SUSTAINABLE NUMBER.

WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION MANY TIMES, AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S REAL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I THINK EVERYBODY'S COMFORTABLE WITH GIVING TEACHERS A RAISE.

EVERYBODY'S FOR IT.

IT'S JUST IF I DO THE MATH, IF 86% OF OUR BUDGET GOES TO SALARIES.

THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE CAN GO TO FIND THE SAVES THAT WE NEED TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO.

THIS TYPE OF SALARY INCREASE TO GO ALONG WITH THE BUDGET THAT WE ANTICIPATE GETTING BY JUNE.

YOU KNOW WE CAN DO ONE MORE YEAR, AND THE CUTS THAT WILL HAVE TO MAKE ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

I TRUST THAT YOU AND STAFF WILL START MAKING CUTS.

IF YOU WANT ME AS A BOARD MEMBER TO VOTE FOR THIS, AND VOTE FOR RAISES AND VOTE FOR AN 80 TO $90 MILLION DEFICIT.

THEN I NEED TO KNOW THAT STARTING TOMORROW, THAT WE'RE GOING TO START FIGURING OUT WAYS TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET, AND YOU MENTIONED THREE WAYS THAT ARE REALLY GOOD OR YOU MENTIONED TWO.

I'M GOING TO THROW IN A THIRD.

TWO OF THE WAYS WE HAVE TO DO A VOTER APPROVED TAX TAX RATE ELECTION. WE TRIED ONCE BEFORE.

IT DIDN'T WORK. WE'RE GOING TO TRY AGAIN.

WE HAVE TO. WE CAN'T BE IN A, QUOTE, PROPERTY POOR DISTRICT AND HAVE OUR SALARIES AND WAGES.

KEEP UP WITH EVERYBODY ELSE WHO ARE IN PROPERTY RICH DISTRICTS WHO, BY THE WAY, HAVE ALREADY APPROVED ALL OF THEIR PENNIES.

THEY'VE ALREADY GONE TO THE VOTERS AND GOT THEIR TAX RATES INCREASED.

WE HAVE NOT.

SO WE'RE STARTING WITH TWO HANDS BEHIND OUR BACK TO BEGIN WITH, AND THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO IS WE HAVE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET SOME FUNDING FROM THE STATE THAT'S NOT EARMARKED TO BE PASSED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE TO ACTUALLY HELP OUR BUDGET DEFICIT, AND THEN NUMBER THREE, AND I HOPE WE START THIS TOMORROW IS START WORKING ON OUR ADA, OUR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE NUMBER OF AVERAGE KIDS THAT WE HAVE ABSENT IN OUR DISTRICT NOW? ROUGHLY, WE ARE SITTING AT A 92% WHEN YOU HAVE 51,000 STUDENTS AND ONLY ABOUT 46,300 ARE SHOWING UP.

THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW MANY WE HAVE.

LET'S SAY 3 TO 4000 KIDS ARE ABSENT EVERY DAY.

WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE SICKNESSES AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT GO ON THAT CAN'T BE HELPED, BUT I THINK THERE'S A TON OF KIDS THAT AREN'T SHOWING UP.

IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP, THEN WE DON'T GET THEIR ALLOCATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T GET PAID AND THAT AFFECTS OUR REVENUE.

SO THERE'S THREE REVENUE WAYS THAT WE CAN INFLUENCE, BUT WE DON'T CONTROL ANY OF THEM.

SO I THINK I MEAN, A 3% RAISE ISN'T ENOUGH.

I DON'T THINK I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY ELSE AT THE TABLE, BUT AGAIN, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THIS.

I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO'S A TEACHER.

I'M FOR EVERYTHING WE CAN DO FOR OUR TEACHERS, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET.

WE CANNOT KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.

NOT ONE MORE DAY, AND WE NEED TO START TOMORROW, AND IF EVERYBODY NEEDS TO HEAR THAT FROM ME HERE FIRST TONIGHT.

OKAY, BUT I'M RELYING ON YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO BRING US A BUDGET NEXT YEAR THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT, BECAUSE I TOTALLY AM NOT FEELING REAL GOOD ABOUT IT.

$88 MILLION DEFICIT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. MR. GLICK. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ADMINISTRATION.

I KNOW THE LAST TWO WEEKS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.

TWO WEEKS AGO, I THREW OUT SOME NUMBERS.

PEOPLE ASKED, WHERE DO THEY GET THOSE NUMBERS FROM? AND I THINK YOU GOT VERY, VERY CLOSE TODAY TO APPROACHING THOSE NUMBERS.

SO I TRULY THANK YOU, NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR OUR STAFF MEMBERS, BECAUSE I THINK, I HOPE THEY WILL APPRECIATE HOW HARD THIS WAS FOR YOU TO DO AND GET TO THOSE NUMBERS TODAY.

SO THANK YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU. MR. GLICK.

ARE THERE ANY MORE? IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? I KNOW MR. JOHNSON IS READY WITH A MOTION.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME.

MADAM PRESIDENT, YES?

[00:40:01]

SECOND. MR. JOHNSON, CAN I GET YOU TO MODIFY THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT? CAN YOU PUT 20, 2024 AND 2025 IN THAT FOR ME, PLEASE? OF COURSE, MADAM PRESIDENT.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE WE APPROVE THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR WITH RESPECT TO RAISE SCENARIOS.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED AND SECOND, MOVED BY MR. JOHNSON. SECOND, BY MR. GLICK THAT WE ACCEPT THE APPROVAL OF THE 2024-2025 PAY RAISE RECOMMENDATION FOR GARLAND ISD EMPLOYEES. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME, I WOULD ASK YOU IF WE'RE READY TO VOTE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEES, THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. DODDS. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET ONE NIGHT.

GOOD SLEEP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND FOR THIS LAST YEAR, WE PERFORMED THIS SERVICE FOR ROWLETT, SACHSE, NAAMAN FOREST, H-E-B, NOT H-E-B, HBJ, AND WILLIAMS STADIUM.

THIS IS THE PART TWO PORTION OF THE TURF REPLACEMENT.

THERE WAS A DELAY FOR LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL AS WE WERE REVIEWING THE LOCATION OF THE OF THE FIELD AND ITS IMPACT AT THAT TIME AND HOW THE BOND, IF THE BOND WAS PASSED, HOW IT WOULD AFFECT THE FIELD, AND SO NOW THAT WE'VE COMPLETED THAT INVESTIGATION, WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH REPLACING THE TURF AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.

THIS IS NOT PART OF THE BOND.

THIS IS FUNDED OUT OF 651.

SO IT'S A DIFFERENT ONE, BUT IT DID HAVE AN IMPACT AS WE WERE WORKING ON THE BOND STUDY, AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ACTION ITEM? SEEING NONE.

OKAY. OKAY.

ALRIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION? MR. BEACH.
