THE TEA AND REGION 10 RECENTLY CONDUCTED AN INTRUDER DETECTION AUDIT AT ONE OR MORE OF OUR CAMPUSES.
THE AUDITS TEST WHETHER CAMPUS IS ACCESSIBLE TO AN UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL.
THE AUDIT PROVIDES US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAFER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF. WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR DISTRICT SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE TO ENSURE WE ARE TRAINING ALL OUR STAFF AND SECURING OUR DOORS FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERYONE ON OUR CAMPUSES.
WE KNOW THAT THIS WORK DOES NOT END AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S SUPPORT.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE VERY LIKELY 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.
GARLAND ISD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. QUINN. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, DISCUSSION ITEMS A, TRUSTEES REPORT.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL PASS IT TO MY RIGHT.
MR. SELDERS, WILL YOU START US OFF? SURE. THANK YOU, MR. BEACH HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE 9TH STREET GYM PROJECT CELEBRATION AT INTRINSIC BARBECUE.
THEY WERE CELEBRATING THE REGIONAL OR DALLAS REGIONAL GOLDEN GLOVE WINNERS MALE AND FEMALE.
WE HAD A NUMBER OF STUDENTS REPRESENTING GISD CAMPUSES THERE THAT HAD WON AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL.
WE HAD TWO STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY ALEX AND DAVID, WHO WENT ON TO THE TEXAS STATE GOLDEN GLOVES CHAMPIONSHIP OR COMPETITION. ALEX WON, SO HE'S GOING TO NATIONALS.
DAVID UNFORTUNATELY FELL A LITTLE SHORT, BUT WE CELEBRATE THEM ALL NONETHELESS.
THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB. AND 9TH STREET GYM PROJECT IS DOING AN AWESOME JOB WITH OUR YOUNG BOXERS AND OUR YOUNG STUDENTS ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE TASB GOVERNANCE CAMP IN GALVESTON.
A LOT OF CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR TRUSTEES. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THERE.
I THINK THAT HAPPENS FOR ALL OF GOVERNANCE CAMP CONFERENCES IS A HUGE STUDENT VOICE COMPONENT.
AND THEY WERE REALLY INSPIRING. ALSO ATTENDED THE TASB BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING IN AUSTIN.
AND A COUPLE OF THINGS HAPPENED THERE. WE HAD A VISITOR, THE TEA COMMISSIONER CAME AND TALKED TO US OVER LUNCH ABOUT A NUMBER OF ITEMS AND WE HEARD ABOUT LEGISLATE A LOCAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES MAP THAT TASB IS MAKING AVAILABLE FOR ALL DISTRICTS TO BE ABLE TO POST THEIR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SO THAT OTHER DISTRICTS COULD SEE AND MAYBE COLLABORATE WITH THEM ON THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO BRING FORWARD LEGISLATIVELY.
SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. SELDERS. MR. GLICK.
THANK YOU SIR. SO I WAS AT THE WE CALL IT NOW UNSTOPPABLE ATHLETICS.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. WE STARTED OFF WITH EIGHT FOOT NETS, WHICH I COULD DUNK ON.
I DIDN'T, BUT I COULD. IT'S NOT FUNNY. IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY.
[LAUGHTER] I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE IT.
[00:30:07]
AND SHE'S A FLOATER FOR THREE DAYS A WEEK. BUT SHE ALSO SAID FOR TWO DAYS A WEEK I GO WITH OUR KIDS TO DALLAS COLLEGE COPPELL.I SAID, DID YOU SAY COPPELL? I SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW WE SEND KIDS TO COPPELL.
WELL, APPARENTLY THE COPPELL DALLAS COLLEGE HAS AN INCREDIBLE MANUFACTURING FACILITY THERE TO TEACH AND OUR KIDS, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY GO. SO WHO KNEW? WHO KNEW? THE ROWLETT CHAMBER LUNCHEON WAS REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY HAD A LADY NAMED NOELLE LAVEAU, WHO'S THE CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER FOR THE WORLD CUP THAT'S COMING.
AND SHE SAYS, WELL, THAT'S A REALLY INTERESTING STORY.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE TELEVISED. WE'LL SEE.
AND OBVIOUSLY THE WORLD CUP STARTS IN JUNE HERE AT&T STADIUM, WHICH WILL BE CALLED DALLAS STADIUM, WILL HOST NINE GAMES MORE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE.
ALSO DID UNSTOPPABLE ATHLETICS. THE THREE ON THREE MR. BEACH AND AND DOCTOR LOPEZ WAS THERE. WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING OF THAT IS THIS WAS AT ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.
ALL OF THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WHO WERE HELPING CAME UP AND THANKED US FOR THE MAX.
THEY CAN'T WAIT TO BE IN THOSE MAX. THE SAME THING REALLY HAPPENED AT NAAMAN, FROM THOSE FOOTBALL PLAYERS COMING OVER AND SAYING, THANK YOU. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG HIT FOR EVERYBODY.
I ALSO HAD THE GREAT HONOR, ALONG WITH MR. JOHNSON OF BEING ASKED TO DO THE HEB PANEL.
WE HAD THE THREE MAYORS FROM OUR THREE CITIES WHO PUT ON A GREAT PRESENTATION.
MIGUEL SOLIS FROM THE COMMIT PARTNERSHIP WAS THERE.
HE'S A FORMER DALLAS ISD TRUSTEE. DALLAS ISD BOARD PRESIDENT.
AND WHAT I LIKE ABOUT COMMIT IS THEY'RE ALL IN THE NUMBERS.
AND HE TALKED TO THE JUDGES ABOUT HOW WELL WE'RE DOING THAT.
WE ARE THE LEADING DISTRICT IN DALLAS COUNTY.
I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHEN HE SAID THAT.
AND WE ALSO HAD OUR TEACHER OF THE YEAR THERE SEVERAL PRINCIPALS WERE THERE, STUDENTS WERE THERE.
IF ANYBODY COULD PUT ON A BETTER PROGRAM OR A BETTER, I DON'T KNOW HOW.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT COMES. WE'LL KNOW ON MAY 3RD IN HOUSTON.
SO I GUESS IT WAS STARTING IN 2012, OUR FAMILY STARTED HELPING TO SPONSOR SCHOOLS AND PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS GO TO GO DOWN TO SAN ANTONIO, TO MORGAN'S WONDERLAND, AND WHICH TIME MAGAZINE CALLED ONE OF THE TOP 100 PLACES IN THE WORLD.
WE'RE ALSO HELPING SPONSOR DORSEY, BUT IT'S REALLY EXCITING WITH BULLOCK BECAUSE THEY THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH FUNDRAISING, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HELP THEM WITH THAT. SO THAT'S REALLY COOL. ROWLETT CHAMBER BOARD, WE WELCOMED INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT CHRISTOPH BAUER. AND I THINK UNTIL ROWLETT GETS THEIR OFFICIAL CITY MANAGER, HE WILL DO A GREAT JOB.
THE ROWLETT CHAMBER FOUNDATION, EVERY YEAR, WE GIVE OUT FIVE, $1,000 SCHOLARSHIPS.
YOU NEED TO LIVE IN ROWLETT, BUT YOU COULD ATTEND ANY OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND SOME YEARS WE LITERALLY HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS BEING REPRESENTED.
SO COUNSELORS, THE APPLICATIONS ARE OUT. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS APPLY.
WE'LL BE DOING THE JUDGING IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS.
I HAD REGION 10 TRAINING AND THE LAST SESSION WAS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING I'VE EVER ATTENDED.
IT WAS JUST TRUSTEES TALKING. I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER ATTENDED ONE LIKE THAT.
THERE WAS A MODERATOR, BUT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT OUR DISTRICTS.
ALLEN WAS THERE. WE WERE THERE. THERE WAS A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DISTRICTS WITH 500 KIDS, BUT WE DON'T OFTEN GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUST TALK AMONG TRUSTEES.
WE MAY AT CONFERENCES, BUT NOT IN A FORMAL SETTING.
[00:35:04]
AND THIS WAS SO I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. WE'RE ALSO OUR FAMILY IS ALSO DOING THE T SHIRTS FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE TRACK AND FIELD.AND THEN LAST TUESDAY, I GOT TO SEE THE SACHSE GIRLS PLAY AGAINST DUNCANVILLE.
IT WAS AN AMAZING GAME. AND AGAIN, I'VE SEEN SOCCER LITERALLY ALL OVER THE WORLD.
IT DIDN'T. IT WENT INTO EXTRA TIME. TEN MINUTES AND TEN MINUTES.
NOBODY SCORED. AND THEN IT HAD PENALTY KICKS.
AND WHERE WHEN THE PROS DO PENALTY KICKS, ALL USUALLY 11 PEOPLE COME OUT 11 AND 11.
DUNCANVILLE CAME OUT THEY MISSED THE PENALTY KICK.
SACHSE CAME OUT THEY DID, I DON'T THE GIRLS DIDN'T REALIZE THEY HAD WON.
LIKE OH, REALLY? [LAUGHTER] AND THEN THE CELEBRATION STARTED.
SACHSE, THEIR COACH IS INCREDIBLE. I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO HER.
THEY MOVE THE BALL AS WELL AS MOST PRO TEAMS DO.
WE ARE UP ONE ZERO. OKAY. THEY'RE PLAYING GRAND OAKS IN FROM SPRING, TEXAS.
AND IF THEY WIN THIS GAME, THEY GO, I BELIEVE, TO THE STATE SEMIFINALS.
WE'VE WENT DOWN AS A GROUP BEFORE. SO WE'LL FIND OUT ABOUT THAT.
AND GOOD LUCK TO THEM. SO THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.
MR. GLICK. MR. JOHNSON. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
AS MY HONOR, I LET MR. GLICK SPEAK ABOUT THE HEB PANEL, BUT IT WAS MY HONOR TO BE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT WITH RESPECT TO IT. I ALSO AM HOPING THAT IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH.
I CAN'T SEE THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE ANY BETTER THAN WE DID. I SPENT THE PAST WEEKEND ACTUALLY THE BETTER PART OF LAST WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND, ATTENDING THE MUSIC FOR ALL FESTIVAL IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
AND I HAD THE HONOR OF WATCHING LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL'S WIND ENSEMBLE PERFORM IN ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS EVENTS THAT A HIGH SCHOOL BAND CAN BE ASKED TO PERFORM IN.
IN ADDITION TO LAKEVIEW GIVING A GREAT SHOW, THE HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL WIND SYMPHONY ALSO WAS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AND THEY DID AS WELL. AND I SAW BOTH OF THEIR PERFORMANCES AND THEY WERE OUTSTANDING.
COMPLETELY. MY HATS ARE OFF TO MR. JARED HUDLER, THE DIRECTOR OF BANDS AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, AND MS. HEATHER BECKER, THE HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR, AND ALL OF THEIR STAFF FOR JUST PUTTING TOGETHER AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
SO THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. AND GUYS, THIS IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE FUN.
THIS IS A FLIER FOR THE INAUGURAL. WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE NAME JOHNNY BEACH PUTT PUTT EXTRAVAGANZA.
IT'S BEING HELD BY THE NOON EXCHANGE CLUB WHO'S PUTTING IT TOGETHER FOLKS? THIS IS IF YOU WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN PUTT PUTTS THE WAY TO GO.
RIGHT. AND I MEAN I CAN MAYBE COMPETE IN THIS ONE.
SO I'M HOPING THAT I CAN DO REALLY WELL AT IT.
NOON EXCHANGE IS PUTTING IT ON. IT'S ONLY $25 TO PLAY FIVE HOLES AND IT'S ALL GOING TO GO TOWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS AND IN EXCHANGE, PUT TOGETHER THAT BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS. SO PLEASE COME OUT TO FIREWHEEL.
PAY THE 25 BUCKS PAID BY SOMEONE ELSE A THING.
GET IN THERE. BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, IT HELPS OUR KIDS.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS BRIDGES. BRIDGES.
YEAH. OKAY. MS. STANLEY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO.
I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT TOO MUCH. BUT I DO WANT TO CALL OUT ON OUR GOLDEN GLOVE WINNERS.
I'D JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT OF THE EIGHT, FIVE OF THEM ARE CURRENT GISD STUDENTS.
TWO WILL REMAIN UNNAMED BECAUSE THEY DON'T COME HERE.
AND THEN. BUT I ENCOURAGED THEM TO TRANSFER. AND THEN ALEX, OF COURSE, IS A GRAD FROM SOUTH GARLAND.
SO I JUST, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW OUR GISD KIDS BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM.
[00:40:07]
AND THEN ONE OF THE LITTLE COACHES AND I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME AND I APOLOGIZE TO HER RIGHT NOW, BUT SHE'S BEEN AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND SHE WAS AT THE DINNER AS WELL.AND I ASKED HER BECAUSE SHE GRADUATED AND SHE WENT IN TO BE ONE OF OUR GARLAND JAILERS AS A PROGRAM THAT THE NINTH STREET BOXING GYM DOES TO GET KIDS INTO GOING FORTH INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD JUST GOTTEN ACCEPTED AND SHE'S GOING TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER.
YEAH. SO IT'S JUST THIS THE WHAT THEY DO FOR THESE FAMILIES.
AND IT'S AND THEN AND SHE COACHES. SO SHE GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO THANK YOU FOR THEM. I ALSO GOT TO ATTEND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CHEER CLASSIC COMPETITION AT ROWLETT.
AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMERS WERE ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERS.
AND YOU KNOW, I WAS NEVER A CHEER MOM, BUT I LOVED, THESE ARE SOME ATHLETES AND THESE ARE DEDICATED, THEY WORK HARD AND IT'S A JOY TO WATCH THEM. AND IT'S KIND OF A PREP FOR THEM JUST GOING ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
AND THEN I DID I ACTUALLY GET TO SERVE ANOTHER TWO YEARS AS ON THE REGION 10 LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, COUNCIL. THANK YOU. AND SO I HAVE BEGUN MEETING WITH GROUPS DISCUSSING, I DID THAT WITH A CITIZENS GROUP TO DISCUSS PUBLIC ED AND RECENT LEGISLATION. JUST WORKING TO KIND OF SET STRAIGHT THE MYTH AND THE FACTS.
AND SO I'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. I GOT TO GO TO SOME GROUNDBREAKINGS WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND WYNN JOYCE AND THE BOB DAY TENNIS COMPLEX, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN OVER THERE TO THAT TUCKER FIELD.
THEY ALREADY HAVE 27 TOURNAMENTS LOGGED FOR THE YEAR.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU LOOKING INTO THAT.
AND THEN, MR. SELDERS AND I GOT TO PARTICIPATE WITH SOME DOCTOR LOPEZ WITH THE ELEMENTARY GOLDIE LOCKE EXCEL AWARDS WITH THE FIFTH GRADERS. AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE YOUR HEART WARMER THAN TO SEE THESE FIFTH GRADERS IN THEIR SUNDAY FINEST TAKING THESE AWARDS. AND THEIR FAMILIES, OH MY GOODNESS, YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD WON THE LOTTERY WITH THE WAY THAT THEY'RE CHEERING.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THE NAACP FOR DOING THAT.
I DID NOT GET TO MAKE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ONE, BUT I DID MAKE THE ELEMENTARY ONE.
I ALSO PARTICIPATED WITH AND WENT AND SAW FUTURE TEACHERS, TEXAS TEACHERS.
AND IT WAS HOSTED BY COMMIT AND D MAGAZINE. AND JUST TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN, THAT WAS, CAME OUT OF THE RECENT LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT WILL BE HELPING US WITH OUR PIPELINE OF TEACHERS AND TRYING TO GET ALL CERTIFIED TEACHERS IN ALL THE CLASSROOMS. AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THEY EVEN HAD A YOUNG MAN WHO HAS COME UP THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND HE'S GETTING READY TO TAKE HIS I THINK HE JUST PASSED AND HE'S GETTING READY TO TAKE A SIXTH GRADE CLASS NEXT YEAR. I THINK IT'S WITH DISD SO, YOU KNOW, I COULDN'T GET TOO EXCITED, BUT WE'LL GET OURS.
AND THEN I DID MAKE ONE OF THE AG SHOWS. I THINK MR. BEACH GOT TO, HE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF HIS EXCITEMENT THERE.
AND THEN THE ROWLETT GALA, WE GOT AWARDED AND I GOT TO BE THERE.
THE 2024 WORKFORCE BRIDGE BUILDING AWARD. OKAY.
WE ARE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE TO HAVE THE TRI CITIES THAT WE WORK IN.
THEY ARE AMAZING. EVERYBODY JUST WORKS SO COLLABORATIVE.
AND I'M JUST, I WAS SO PROUD TO DO THAT AND I'M GLAD THAT I GOT TO.
CORRECT. AND THESE ARE JUST CITIZENS LEARNING ABOUT OUR GREAT YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE THINGS THAT THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE KIND OF ICEBREAKER WAS WHEN YOU CAME INTO THIS PROGRAM, WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING AND WHAT DID YOU GET OUT OF IT? AND ALL OF THEM CAME IN TO SAY, WE'RE REALLY GOING TO FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU GUYS WERE DOING WRONG, BASICALLY. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CAME OUT OF IT SAYING HOW COLLABORATIVE WE ARE, HOW FOCUSED WE ARE, HOW INTENTIONAL WE ARE, HOW ALL OF OUR DECISIONS ARE SO CENTERED AND SO GEARED AROUND OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES AND HOW DIFFICULT THEY. A COUPLE OF THEM SAID THEY THOUGHT THAT PARENT ENGAGEMENT SHOULD BE SO SIMPLE, AND THEY REALIZED ALL THAT WE DO AND THE STRUGGLES THAT WE HAVE AND HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE, EVEN ON THE DAYS THAT WE'RE NOT SO SUCCESSFUL.
[00:45:01]
AND I JUST WANT TO CALL OUT TWO THINGS THAT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW, BECAUSE THIS ALL GOES BACK TO OUR TRI-CITIES.AT THE NORTH GARLAND CHICK-FIL-A TOMORROW, APRIL 1ST THE THREE MAYORS, MAYOR OF SACHSE, MAYOR OF ROWLETT, AND MAYOR OF GARLAND ARE GOING TO BE SERVING.

AND WE ARE GOING TO BE HOSTING AN INAUGURAL NEW SURF AND SWIM.
MOST PEOPLE, IF, YOU KNOW, SURF AND SWIM WAS COMPLETELY TORN DOWN AND REBUILT.
I THINK IT WAS, IT'S KIND OF A PROCESS, THE 2019 BOND AND I THINK THE ARPA MONIES.
AND SO IF YOU'LL GO TO OUR WEBSITE, THE GARLAND PARKS FOUNDATION, WE ARE OFFERING SOME VERY REASONABLE TICKETS, I THINK A FAMILY OF FIVE IS $45. THERE'LL BE TONS OF THINGS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN, BUT YOU WILL GET THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE SURF AND SWIM BEFORE IT OFFICIALLY OPENS.
SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MILLER.
THANK YOU, MR. BEACH. JUST QUICKLY, A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I, TOO, WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE FFA AG SHOW. THE COWS THAT WERE SHOWING THE HEIFERS.
AND IT WAS YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO SIT AND TALK TO SOME PEOPLE ABOUT ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT THE KIDS PUT IN TO RAISING THESE ANIMALS AND MAKING THEM SHOW QUALITY. AND I THINK THEY IT'S EXHIBITED IN THE QUALITY OF THE ANIMALS THEY WERE ABLE TO DISPLAY.
SO THANK YOU TO THEM AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THAT EVENT.
IT TAKES A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS AND IT WAS WELL DONE.
BUT I ALSO GOT TO GO TO AND I GO EVERY YEAR TO THE VISUAL AID VOLUNTEER STUDENT ART SHOW.
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE AND SOME OF THE ART PIECES WILL JUST BLOW YOUR MIND AS TO HOW GOOD AND CREATIVE THESE KIDS ARE, ESPECIALLY DEALING WITH AN IMPAIRMENT THAT THEY HAVE.
THEIR FAMILIES ARE SO SUPPORTIVE AND THE PEOPLE IN THAT AGENCY ARE JUST TOP NOTCH.
SO MY HAT'S OFF TO VISUAL AID VOLUNTEERS AND ALL THEY DO FOR OUR STUDENTS.
BECAUSE ONE, WE LOVE THE DISTRICT AND WE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY OF GARLAND, ROWLETT AND SACHSE.
ONE OF MY HATS OFF TO OUR GARLAND PTA. THE GARLAND COUNCIL ATTENDED ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS THIS LAST WEEK, AND OUR PTA'S ARE DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB. AND WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE REALLY GEARING UP WITH A PTA MEMBERSHIP DRIVES. I ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO GET INVOLVED IN YOUR SCHOOL.
I ALSO WENT TO A GALA, WENT TO THE FIVE LOAVES GALA AT THE AT THE ATRIUM.
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FIVE LOAVES MINISTRY IS ALL ABOUT, IT'S KIND OF LIKE A TRUSTED WORLD WHERE THEY HELP FAMILIES THAT ARE IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF INCOME OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
IT MIGHT BE FOOD, IT MAY BE CLOTHING WHATEVER THE CASE WITH HOW THIS MINISTRY HAS REALLY GROWN AND THEY'RE OUT OF BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY'RE OUT OF WYLIE. AND WHERE DID THEY COME TO HOLD THEIR EVENT? GARLAND, TEXAS. SO I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO BE THERE AND SUPPORT THAT.
I ALSO ATTENDED SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL AND I WENT TO THE UIL ONE ACT PLAY.
WHEN I WENT OUT THERE, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A DANCE COMPETITION AND STUFF AND I GOT THERE AND IT WASN'T, IT WAS ONE ACT PLAYS. SO I SIT THERE AND I WATCHED NORTH GARLAND GO THROUGH THEIR PLAY AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
AND MY HAT'S OFF TO EVERY ONE OF THOSE SCHOOLS INVOLVED IN THAT UIL COMPETITION, AND ESPECIALLY FOR NORTH GARLAND, AND A GOOD JOB THAT THEY DID. ALSO, THE GEF GARLAND EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WE HAD A BOARD MEETING THIS LAST WEEK.
HATS OFF TO LISA COX AND THIS BOARD, DOUG BURNSIDE AS PRESIDENT AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING FINANCIALLY AND HELPING WITH SCHOLARSHIPS TO TEACHERS AND TO HELPING IN THE CLASSROOM WHERE SOMETIMES IT MAY FALL SHORT A LITTLE BIT AND THEY NEED EXTRA MONEY. AND THE GEF IS STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND REALLY HELPING.
THE GOLF TOURNAMENT IS COMING UP APRIL THE 24TH AT FIREWHEEL GOLF PARK.
AND THEN OF COURSE, THE PUTTING CONTEST IS KIND OF A PREAMP TO IT.
IT'S ON THAT THURSDAY NIGHT FROM 5 TO 8 AT THE BRIDGES.
[00:50:03]
SO COME OUT AND JOIN THE FESTIVITIES THERE. ALSO, MY HAT'S OFF TO THE FFA SHOW.I WENT TO THE BUYER'S PROGRAM ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AND MY WIFE AND I WERE GIVEN SOME MONEY TO BID FOR SOMEONE, AND WE DID. AND IT WAS NICE TO HOLD UP THE PADDLE AND DO ALL THAT KIND OF THING, GET IN THE COMPETITION WITH OTHER FOLKS THAT WERE THERE.
HE WAS UP THERE AND HE WAS GETTING AFTER IT. AND I MEAN, DRINKING WATER, TRYING TO KEEP IT GOING. AND I MEAN, HE WAS REALLY DOING A GREAT JOB AND THE COMMITTEE WAS DOING REALLY GOOD IN MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE STUDENTS GOT THE LEAST MARKET PRICE FOR THEIR ANIMALS.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. WE REALLY AND THE ONE THING ABOUT IT.
IT'S A REALLY A GREAT PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY THE AUCTION TO COME OUT AND BID.
IT DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH TO DO THAT AND COME OUT.
AND I THINK YOU'LL BE VERY REWARDED BY SEEING THE SMILE YOU PUT ON THESE STUDENTS FACE.
AND DART IS VERY IMPORTANT, NOT ONLY FOR THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT FOR THE AREA.
EDISON, HIGHLAND PARK AND UNIVERSITY PARK ARE NOT INTERESTED OR THINKING ABOUT BOWING OUT.
IT'S VERY VIABLE FOR GARLAND BECAUSE IT ALSO IS A VENUE TO ROWLETT DOWNTOWN ROWLETT, BUT IT'S HELPED THE GROWTH THAT'S GOING ON IN THIS NORTH TEXAS REGION. AND THEY TALKED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AS MR. GLICK TALKED ABOUT THE SOCCER THAT IS FIXING TO TAKE PLACE HERE THIS SUMMER AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BUSSES FOR THAT.
THEY'RE EXPECTING OVER 100,000 PEOPLE TO HIT THIS METROPLEX AREA.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE. THE TRAFFIC, YOU THINK IT'S BAD NOW IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.
SO JUST BE PREPARED. SO I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT.
ALSO I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TELL THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOOK AT YOUR CALENDAR, PAGES 13 TO 17, ALL THE EVENTS THAT ARE THERE TO PUT THEM ON YOUR PHONE.
SO YOU HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE FOR YOURSELF. AND ALSO THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE THIS WEEK FOR GOOD FRIDAY, A THREE DAY WEEKEND FOR YOU THERE. BUT REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT EASTER.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD. WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT, MR. BEACH? BECAUSE IF THEY OPEN IT UP AND IT'S EMPTY, THAT'S WHAT THE TOMB IS ALSO. REMEMBER THAT. OKAY, SO ANYWAY, HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT EASTER.
AND SO GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL PASS THE WORD ON TO.
MS. GRIFFIN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OF THE FEMALES IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THEM TO SAY YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU MEAN A LOT TO US. AND THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. BEACH. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, MISS GRIFFIN.
[V.B. Superintendent's Report]
DOCTOR LOPEZ. WELL THANK YOU. THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THAT WE'RE VERY ENGAGED.AND RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK, IT'S JUST FAST AND FURIOUS.
A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON IN REAL TIME.
IT IS HALFTIME AND SACHSE IS STILL UP ONE ZERO.
KNOCK ON WOOD. I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE LAKE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER PROGRAM.
THEY MADE A HUGE RUN AS WELL. THEIRS JUST FELL A LITTLE SHORT, BUT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THEM.
AND FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO END, YOU KNOW, LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WE DID HAVE TWO HEB VISITS.
ONE WAS FOR THE BOARD OF THE YEAR AND ONE WAS FOR THE DISTRICT OF THE YEAR.
AND AS THEY WERE LEAVING AND I WAS REFLECTING ON EVERYTHING, I ALREADY FEEL WE'RE WINNERS.
YOU KNOW I KNOW A LOT OF THE JUDGES AND THEY, THEY WERE VERY COMPLIMENTARY ON BOTH DAYS ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT FROM THE BOARD, FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL, FROM THE CAMPUSES TO STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
[00:55:01]
AND, AND AS THEY LEFT I GOT TO SEE THE DIFFERENT PANELS OF PEOPLE THAT CAME IN AND ADVOCATED FOR US.AND SOME OF THEM YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SURPRISED ON.
AND, AS I REFLECT, THAT IS REALLY WHAT MATTERS.
IT'S WHAT OUR OWN COMMUNITY THINKS. IT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THINKS.
IT'S IT'S HOW THEY FEEL. THIS JUST VALIDATED EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE FEELING.
AND THAT VALIDATION TO ME WAS THE BIGGEST WIN OF ALL.
WHEN YOU HAND IT OVER TO JUDGES AND THEY GET TO SEE SNAPSHOTS OF THINGS.
YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY PICK? YOU KNOW SOMETIMES I WATCH THE BACHELOR.
I'M LIKE, WHY DID YOU PICK THAT ONE? BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S ALL IN THE JUDGES EYE, RIGHT? AND, SO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT TO THE JUDGES.
BUT I KNOW THAT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED AND OUR BOARD CAN ATTEST TO IT.
I MEAN, WE SHOWED THEM EVERYTHING AND WE LEFT WITH PRIDE.
WE LEFT WITH VALIDATION. WE LEFT WITH PURPOSE AND WE LEFT WITH IMPACT.
AND I REALLY FEEL THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES US. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY ASKED WAS, HOW CAN A DISTRICT SO BIG STILL FEEL LIKE A SMALL DISTRICT? A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT FEELS LIKE A COMMUNAL DISTRICT, LIKE IT'S STILL LIKE A ONE HORSE TOWN.
AND AS I WAS REFLECTING ON THE ANSWER, THE WORD THAT CAME OUT WAS OUR CHOICE PROGRAM.
YOU SEE, OUR KIDS CROSS POLLINATE ALL AROUND THE SCHOOLS AS THEY MOVE UP.
AND SO THOSE KIDS KNOW KIDS FROM ALL OVER THE CITY.
THEY DON'T SEE THEM AS RIVALS NECESSARILY. THEY SEE THEM AS RIVALS WHENEVER THEY'RE ON THE COURT, BUT THEY SEE THEM AS FRIENDS. AND THEN THEY GROW UP AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, I KNOW THIS KID FROM THIS HIGH SCHOOL AND THIS KID FROM THIS HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY ALL GREW UP IN THESE DIFFERENT AREAS. SO IT FEELS SMALL WHERE IF YOU GOT ANOTHER DISTRICT AS BIG AS OURS, YOU WOULD HAVE GROWN UP IN YOUR LITTLE POCKET NOT KNOWING THE REST OF THE WORLD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY OR EVEN HAVE A CONVERSATION THAT SHOWS COMMON GROUND, THAT YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IS LIKE.
AND THAT ISN'T THE CASE IN GISD. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES US.
AND IT'S ONE OF OUR MOST PROUD THINGS THAT THAT CAME OUT IN FULL FORCE.
AND I THINK THE WHOLE PANEL CAN AGREE THEY COULD NOT GRASP OUR CHOICE PROGRAM.
THEY LEFT THERE LIKE JUST BLOWN AWAY ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU, MR. BEACH.
THANK YOU. DOCTOR LOPEZ THAT TAKES US NOW TO ITEM NUMBER C, FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.
