Apr 28, 2026 Board of Trustees Meeting

[00:00:05]

GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THIS IS THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING,

[I. Call to Order and Determination of a Quorum]

I DO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER, AND WE DO DETERMINE THAT THERE IS A QUORUM PRESENT WITH MRS. GRIFFIN ALSO ON A ZOOM. WITH THAT, MRS. HOGAN, FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

WE HAVE NO NO STUDENTS TONIGHT. WE TOLD OUR STUDENTS TO STAY HOME TONIGHT FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SEE THEM IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT. SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE RISE WITH ME. LET'S DO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US. MRS. HOGAN, NUMBER III, ITEM, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC FORUM? GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BEACH. YOU ALL RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM ONE SUCH INDIVIDUAL WHO'S LISTED ON OUR AGENDA LATER.

YOU ALL HAVE THAT CORRESPONDENCE, AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO READ IT AT YOUR LEISURE. THANK YOU. OKAY. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THAT TO BE ABLE TO READ AT THEIR LEISURE.

THAT TAKES US INTO ITEM NUMBER IV. SPECIAL RECOGNITION.

[IV.A. Sydna Gordon Board Room Renaming Ceremony]

MR. WHEELER. PRESIDENT BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR. LOPEZ. ON DECEMBER 15TH, 2025, THE GARLAND ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE NAMING OF THE HARRIS HILL BOARD ROOM IN HONOR OF SYDNA GORDON. THIS DISTINGUISHED RECOGNITION REFLECTS MRS. GORDON'S LASTING LEGACY OF SERVICE, LEADERSHIP AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES OF GARLAND ISD.

I FEEL IT WILL BE FITTING TO READ WHAT IS ON THE PLAQUE THAT WILL ADORN THE BUILDING FOR YEARS TO COME.

I THINK VICE PRESIDENT JOHNSON, WERE YOU GOING TO READ THAT? OR DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THAT? OKAY.

MRS. SYDNA GORDON SERVED ON THE GISD SCHOOL BOARD FOR 15 YEARS, INCLUDING THREE TERMS AS BOARD PRESIDENT.

DURING HER TENURE, SHE USED HER SKILLS AND ACUMEN AS A PRACTICING ATTORNEY TO HELP GUIDE THE DISTRICT THROUGH THE SHIFTING SANDS OF THE SCHOOL, FINANCE, LITIGATION, AND CONSTANTLY CHANGING FUNDING MECHANISMS IN THE 1980S AND 90S.

SHE ALSO SAW THE END OF GARLAND'S PERIOD OF SKYROCKETING POPULATION GROWTH, AND HELPED POSITION THE DISTRICT TO SUCCEED WITH A NEW MODEL LESS DEPENDENT ON CONSISTENT STUDENT POPULATION INCREASES. WHILE SERVING ON THE BOARD, SYDNA HELPED ELEVATE GISD AT THE STATE AND REGIONAL LEVEL BY SERVING ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NORTH TEXAS AREA SCHOOL BOARDS FOR SIX YEARS AND AS A TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS TRUSTEE FOR SIX YEARS, INCLUDING STATEWIDE OFFICE AS SECRETARY TREASURER FOR THE 1997-1998 ACADEMIC YEAR.

SHE WAS TASKED BY THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY TO SERVE ON THE TEXAS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE IN THE 1991-1992 ACADEMIC YEAR.

SHE WAS ALSO SELECTED BY THE UNIVERSITY INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE TO SERVE ON THE UIL STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FROM 1996 THROUGH 1999.

PERHAPS EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN HER PERIOD OF SERVICE TO THE GISD AS A TRUSTEE IS MRS. GORDON'S CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO THE DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY AFTER SHE LEFT ELECTED OFFICE.

MRS. GORDON HAS CHAIRED OR SERVED ON DOZENS OF CITIZEN COMMITTEES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE KIWANIS CLUB OF GARLAND, PRESIDENT. MAIN STREET GARLAND EXECUTIVE WOMEN OF DALLAS, WHERE SHE ALSO SERVED AS PRESIDENT.

ROWLETT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DIRECTOR, GARLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DIRECTOR, GARLAND BUSINESS AND EDUCATION COALITION.

GARLAND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, WHERE SHE SERVED AS DIRECTOR. HOPE CLINIC AS A DIRECTOR, AND THE NEW BEGINNING CENTERS OF GARLAND AS A DIRECTOR.

SHE ALSO CONTINUED TO DIRECTLY SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF AT THE GISD THROUGH YEARS OF SERVICE ON THE GARLAND ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION, FORMERLY THE BEST EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WHERE SHE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SHE HAS ALSO SERVED THE GISD COMMUNITY BY BEING A COMMITTEE MEMBER ON ALL MAJOR BOARD PROPOSALS AND THE VOTE YES GARLAND ISD PACK IN SUPPORT OF THE RECENTLY PASSED PROPOSITION A. TIME AND WORK ETHIC ARE NOT THE ONLY CONTRIBUTIONS MRS. GORDON HAS MADE. BOTH SHE AND HER HUSBAND, DON, HAVE DONATED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BOTH THE GISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION AND HOPE CLINIC. SHE HAS BEEN HONORED AS A DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS OF HER ALMA MATER, EAST TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, WHERE SHE HAS ALSO THE HONOR OF SERVING AS DIRECTOR OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

BUT MRS. GORDON'S ULTIMATE PRIDE IS FOUND IN THE OUTSTANDING ALUMNUS AWARD RECEIVED FROM HER BELOVED GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL IN 2010.

FROM HER YEARS OF SERVICE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND HER UNPARALLELED COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP.

[00:05:05]

THE ADVICE THAT WE HAVE HERE FOR YOU TODAY, AND GOD BLESS YOU.

BEAUTIFUL. [APPLAUSE].

SYDNA, THE BOARD WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO GIVE A FEW WORDS TOO.

WELL, THIS IS SUCH AN HONOR, AND I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

I DON'T REMEMBER A TIME WHEN GARLAND ISD WAS NOT PART OF MY LIFE EITHER AS A STUDENT, A PARENT, A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, OR A SUPPORTER OF GARLAND ISD.

AND THIS BOARD, AS ALL THE BOARDS DO, I KNOW, HAVE YOUR CHALLENGES, BUT YOU DO SUCH GOOD WORK, AND I THANK YOU AND ALL OF THE STAFF, AS WELL AS THE TEACHERS, THE STUDENTS, THEIR PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY, WHICH ALWAYS STEPS UP AND PASSES THE BOND ELECTIONS.

AND NOT EVERY DISTRICT HAS THAT HAPPEN. AND THAT IS SO PRECIOUS FOR US.

AND I WILL STILL BE HERE AND SERVING IN WHATEVER CAPACITY I CAN TO BETTER THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE EDUCATION OF ALL THE CHILDREN. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE].

WE HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER.

AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW. MRS. GRIFFIN WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING FROM THE ZOOM.

SO, MRS. GRIFFIN, I'M GOING TO LET THE OPEN THE MIC FOR YOU.

LINDA, CAN YOU HEAR ME? UNMUTE. THERE YOU GO.

HELLO, MY FRIEND. IT'S AN HONOR TO NAME THE BOARD ROOM AFTER YOU. THERE'S NOTHING THAT THIS BOARD HAS ASKED YOU TO DO THAT YOU DID NOT STEP UP AND DO.

YOU LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GARLAND. WE LOVE YOU.

AND WE COULDN'T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO HONOR YOU THAN TO RENAME THE BOARD ROOM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE AND YOUR DEDICATION.

GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU, MRS. GRIFFIN. [APPLAUSE].

IF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND TAKE SOME PICTURES, PLEASE DO SO.

[APPLAUSE].

OKAY. SO AT THIS TIME, WE WILL ALLOW EVERYONE, IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK DOWN TO THE CAFETERIA, THEY MAY DO SO AT THIS TIME. OR YOU CAN STAY FOR THE BOARD MEETING, OR YOU CAN GO TO THE CAFETERIA.

BUT I THINK I WANT TO VISIT WITH MRS. GORDON.

[00:10:11]

[V.B. Introduction of District Administrators]

GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ.

I COME TO YOU THIS EVENING TO INTRODUCE YOU NOT A NEW MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, BUT SOMEONE WHO HAS MOVED INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION ON OUR TEAM. DIRECTOR OF IMPACT SYSTEMS AND PERFORMANCE IN THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, KENNETH PIERCE. KENNETH, WILL YOU COME FORWARD WHILE I READ YOUR BIO? KENNETH HAS SERVED IN GARLAND ISD IN MULTIPLE LEADERSHIP ROLES, INCLUDING CAMPUS ADMINISTRATOR, STUDENT SUCCESS ADMINISTRATOR, AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES.

PRIOR TO JOINING GARLAND ISD, HE HAS SERVED BOTH AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.

THROUGHOUT HIS TIME IN GARLAND ISD, HE HAS WORKED TO STRENGTHEN STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES THAT ALLOW EDUCATORS TO FOCUS ON STUDENTS. AS THE DIRECTOR OF IMPACT SYSTEMS AND PERFORMANCE.

HIS ROLE DRIVES DISTRICT SUCCESS BY ALIGNING EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS WITH INITIATIVES THAT FOSTER SAFE, HIGH QUALITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. FOCUSING ON THE IMPACT FRAMEWORK, KENNETH OVERSEES THE DESIGN AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF STRATEGIC COMPENSATION AND ENHANCED TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, ENSURING PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DIRECTLY TRANSLATE TO STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

BORN AND RAISED IN GARLAND, KENNETH CONSIDERS GARLAND HIS HOMETOWN AND REMAINS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SERVING IT WELL.

FAMILY IS CENTRAL TO KENNETH'S LIFE. HE AND HIS WIFE, ROBIN, ARE THE PROUD PARENTS OF FOUR CHILDREN WHO ATTEND TWO AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AND TWO AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.

I HEARD THAT AT AUSTIN. HIS WORK IN EDUCATION IS DEEPLY SHAPED BY HIS ROLE AS A FATHER, AND HIS CONVICTION THAT WHAT WE DO FOR STUDENTS EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM, SHAPING FAMILIES AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.

AS KENNETH SHARES WITH US, WHEN WE HELP A STUDENT SUCCEED, WE'RE INVESTING IN A FAMILY'S FUTURE, AND THAT IMPACT REACHES FAR BEYOND WHAT WE MAY EVER SEE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I INTRODUCE TO YOU MR. KENNETH PIERCE.

[APPLAUSE]. PRESIDENT BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ. I WANT TO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I STARTED DOWN THIS CAREER PATH 27 YEARS AGO, AND IT NEVER.

THE FEELING OF EXCITEMENT, ENTHUSIASM NEVER CHANGES.

MY KIDS ARE ALL IN COLLEGE, AND I HOPE THEY FIND A PROFESSION THAT REWARDS THEM AS MUCH AS I HAVE FOUND IN THIS PROFESSION.

MY WIFE IS HERE TONIGHT, SO I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE HER. ROBIN PIERCE AND I APPRECIATE HER BEING HERE. I WOULD SAY MY FIRST YEAR IN EDUCATION, I GOT SO EXCITED I WENT HOME AND CALLED ALL MY FAMILY.

THERE'S NOT MANY OF THOSE LEFT. SO I DON'T HAVE SO MANY PHONE CALLS LEFT TONIGHT. BUT I DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE FOR ME AND SUPPORTING ME.

SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I'M EXCITED TO DO THIS JOB AND WORK FOR GARLAND ISD.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. WHILE WE WERE SITTING HERE AT OUR BOARD TABLE TONIGHT, WE RECEIVED A PICTURE OF YOU, KENNETH, ON A CARD. SO I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU FOR YOUR AUTOGRAPH LIKE THE NFL DRAFT.

MAYBE IF YOU GET THE CARD, IT'LL BE WORTH SOMETHING.

THANK YOU, KENNETH. YEAH. COME ON, GET SOME PICTURES.

COME ON.

THANK YOU, KENNETH. [APPLAUSE]. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER C.

[V.C. Receive Intruder Detection Audit Report for April 2026]

MARK QUINN. WE HAVE ONE OF HIS COHORTS. OKAY.

GOOD EVENING, DR. LOPEZ, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I'M MIKE SMITH, I'M COORDINATOR OF SECURITY OPERATIONS.

[00:15:06]

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

THE TEA AND REGION 10 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 THE DISTRICT IDENTIFY.

HELP THE DISTRICT IDENTIFY HOW CAMPUSES CAN IMPROVE SAFETY FOR OUR STUDENTS, SUCH AS ENSURING EXTERIOR DOORS ARE LOCKED.

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

WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR DISTRICT'S 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 IN CONDUCTING THE INTRUDER 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 STUDENTS THAT WE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION TO THE BROADER PUBLIC AS IT COULD LEAD TO COMPROMISING IMPORTANT CAMPUS SAFETY AND 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, MR. SMITH. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER D.

[V.D. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 New Memorial Pathway Academy/Manuel & Maria Valle Student Services Center Program Update]

STUDENT SERVICES CENTER PROGRAM UPDATE. MR. FERNANDEZ.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

LOPEZ. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO CIRCLE BACK WITH THE BOARD.

WE PRESENTED THIS SCHEMATIC DESIGN SEVERAL MONTHS BACK.

WE ARE WELL INTO THE PROGRESS OF DESIGNING THIS FACILITY.

AND THE BOARD AT THE TIME HAD ASKED US TO COME BACK AND TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE MINOR MODIFICATIONS THAT WE HAVE DONE SINCE PROVIDING YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN. WE'VE INVITED GLENN PARTNERS, WHO IS THE DESIGN FIRM OF RECORD, TO COME HERE TONIGHT AND TO PRESENT TO YOU SOME OF THE FEATURE SETS THAT ARE GOING TO SERVE AS AN ENHANCEMENT TO THIS FACILITY.

SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO PATRICK GLENN, WHO IS THE PARTNER WITH GLENN PARTNERS.

THANK YOU, JAVIER. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

LOPEZ. THANKS FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IS TWO THINGS, REALLY.

SCHEDULE UPDATE AND COST UPDATE. DURING THE PROGRESSION OF DESIGN, WE'VE EXPERIENCED A FEW CHALLENGES AS IT RELATES TO CONSTRUCTION COSTS, AND WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH JAVIER AND NICK ON RECOMMENDING A SERIES OF REDUCTIONS TO GET THE COST ESTIMATE BACK DOWN TO A COMFORTABLE BUDGET. AND I'M GOING TO HAVE MY COLLEAGUE, DAN HOLT HERE ACTUALLY WALK YOU THROUGH THE SCHEDULE UPDATE AND THOSE SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS. AND THEN WE'LL OPEN UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO, DAN.

AS PATRICK SAID, I'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE SCHEDULE FIRST.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WRAPPING UP DESIGN. WE ISSUED FOR OUR SITE PERMIT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW WITH THE CITY, AND WE'RE EXPECTING TO ISSUE THE BUILDING PERMIT SET TO THE CITY IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS.

SO ALL THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE STILL KIND OF ON TRACK.

CONSTRUCTION SHOULD KICK OFF LATE SUMMER AND WE SHOULD WRAP UP CONSTRUCTION OR CORE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP AROUND DECEMBER OF 2027.

GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE COST UPDATES, AS PATRICK WAS SAYING, WE DID SOME SCOPE OPTIONS TO KIND OF HELP BRING DOWN THE BUDGET A LITTLE BIT.

SO THE FOUR BIG ITEMS WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS TODAY ARE LISTED HERE.

WE'VE REDUCED SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE MEMORIAL PATHWAY ACADEMY, AS WELL AS STUDENT SERVICES, AND MADE SOME SMALL BUILDING CHANGES WE'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH WITH YOU.

ALSO WENT OVER SOME SMALLER KIND OF MINOR UPDATES, BUT THOSE WERE MINOR IN NATURE THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T.

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE. IT WAS DISCUSSED TODAY. SO ALL IN ALL, THAT GOT US DOWN TO A COMFORTABLE NUMBER.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH WHAT SOME OF THOSE CHANGES LOOK LIKE.

FOR MEMORIAL PATHWAY, WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA TO REDUCE ONE CLASSROOM FROM THE NEWCOMER MIDDLE SCHOOL, NEWCOMER HIGH SCHOOL AND NONTRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. THEIR EXISTING BUILDING HAD 30 CLASSROOMS AND OUR PREVIOUS DESIGN HAD 31 TOTAL CLASSROOMS.

[00:20:02]

SIMILARLY, AT THE STUDENT SERVICES CENTER, WE LOOKED AT KIND OF HOW WE CAN TIGHTEN UP SOME OF THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT TO HELP REDUCE SOME OF THOSE COSTS.

AND ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WE HAD SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE FACE DEPARTMENT, WHICH WE KIND OF CREATED SOME PRIVATE OFFICES AND TRANSITIONED THOSE INTO OPEN CONCEPT OFFICES FOR CUBICLES.

AND ON THE SECOND LEVEL, WE TOOK A SIMILAR BEHAVIOR AND ATTENDANCE AND BEHAVIOR AREA AND TOOK SOME PRIVATE OFFICES AND ALSO MADE THOSE INTO OPEN CUBICLE OFFICES AS WELL.

SO OVERALL, THOSE TWO IDEAS GOT US TO ABOUT 5000FT² REDUCTION, WHICH KIND OF HELPED US GET US BACK INTO THE BALLPARK OF WHERE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN OR SHOULD BE. HERE IS ONE OF THE BUILDING ELEVATION CHANGES WE DID ALONG THE BACK SIDE WHERE THE BUS DROP OFF. WE HAD A FAIRLY LARGE CANOPY WITH KIND OF RUN THE BUS LANE.

AND SO WE KIND OF REDUCE THAT A LITTLE BIT TO HELP REDUCE COST.

AND THIS IS KIND OF THE BEFORE IMAGE. THIS IS THE AFTER IMAGE.

SO AS I SCROLL BACK AND FORTH, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW MUCH WE'VE REDUCED THAT CANOPY TO HELP SAVE SOME COST.

AND THE FINAL ITEM, OUR PREVIOUS DESIGN, WE HAD A PRETTY LARGE KIND OF THAT CENTRAL COURTYARD, WE CALL IT THE GATEWAY. SO HELP KIND OF REDUCE COSTS.

WE LOOKED AT WAYS TO REDUCE THAT AREA AND WIDTH.

SO WE REDUCED THAT COURTYARD BY ABOUT 11 FT. SO AGAIN, A LITTLE BEFORE IMAGE AND THE AFTER IMAGE.

SO NOT A WHOLE LOT. IT'S STILL ABOUT 60FT IN THERE.

WE'VE GOT SOME OPENINGS TO KEEP SOME DAYLIGHT IN THERE TO KEEP IT BREEZY OPEN SO IT DOESN'T FEEL TOO DARK.

SO WE FELT LIKE THIS WAS A GOOD COMPROMISE TO REDUCE COST AND STILL KEEP THE ESTHETIC OF THE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT WAS THE LAST SLIDE OF OUR PRESENTATION AND OUR SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON DAN'S EXPLANATION OF THE CUTTING OF THE THREE CLASSROOMS. YOU KNOW, AFTER WE'VE LOOKED AT THE ENROLLMENT AND THE CAPACITY AND EVEN THE UTILIZATION THAT WE'RE USING IN OUR PROGRAM, WE FEEL COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE WITH THE CAPACITY OF THE MEMORIAL PATHWAY ACADEMY, EVEN AFTER CUTTING THOSE THREE CLASSROOMS. AND THEN SOME OF THE REPLANTING EFFORTS THAT WE DID IN THE STUDENT SERVICES, WE'RE NOT SACRIFICING OR COMPROMISING ANY FUNCTIONALITY OF THAT BUILDING, JUST MAKING IT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT WITH SOME OF THOSE OPEN OFFICES.

YEAH. SO, QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? ANY QUESTIONS? MR. MILLER. YEAH, JUST REAL QUICK. BACK WHEN WE BEGAN, I REMEMBER THE SITE LOCATION RIGHT THERE, I THINK THE FRONT CORNER OF HBJ, CORRECT? AND WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT COMPETITION POTENTIALLY WITH GAME DAYS AND THINGS WHERE THE PARKING LOTS TEND TO BE CROWDED.

WILL THE FOOTBALL STADIUM PARKING FOR WHATEVER THE EVENT IS.

WILL IT HAVE PARKING? WILL IT INTERFERE WITH THE PARKING OF THIS FACILITY AT ALL, OR IS IT SEPARATE? IT IS SEPARATE. AND SO, YOU ENTER THIS OFF OF CENTERVILLE, IS THAT THE ONLY ENTRANCE AND EXIT? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONLY ENTRANCE AND EXIT OFF CENTERVILLE.

AND WE ARE ACTUALLY ADDING A LOOP TO HELP US LESSEN THE CONGESTION AFTER A FOOTBALL GAME AS YOU EXIT AND EGRESS THE SITE.

YEAH. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY NOT VERY OFTEN THAT YOU WOULD HAVE AN EVENT IN THE EVENINGS THAT WOULD CONFLICT WITH A FOOTBALL GAME TOO.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PATRONS OF THIS FACILITY DON'T HAVE TO COMPETE, IF YOU WILL, FOR PARKING WITH THOSE OF A FOOTBALL GAME OR SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON.

YEAH. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WILL BE THE CASE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION. VERY NICE JOB.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM E, ANNOUNCE THE BOARD MEMBER CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT HOURS.

[V.E. Announce Board Member Continuing Education Credit Hours]

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BEACH, DR. LOPEZ AND TRUSTEES.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE SCOTT IS CONTROLLING THIS BEFORE I START PUSHING BUTTONS.

OKAY.

GOOD EVENING. WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO KEEP DOING THAT?

[00:25:01]

IT'S WHERE I ANNOUNCE HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE AND HOW COMPLIANT YOU ARE.

WHICH MEANS I'VE DONE MY JOB AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT. SO, FOR THIS EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE MAY 2026 ELECTION YEAR TRAINING CYCLE, WHICH BEGAN MAY 1ST OF 2025 AND RUNS UNTIL TODAY.

I HAD A LOVELY TRUSTEE COMPLETE EXTRA HOURS AS LATE AS SUNDAY AND MONDAY TO ENSURE THAT THEY WERE WELL WITHIN THE COMPLIANCE ZONE.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHART BEFORE YOU, ALL THOSE RED CHECKS ARE NOW STATUTORILY REQUIRED TRAININGS THAT YOU EITHER HAVE TO DO ANNUALLY OR BI ANNUALLY.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF YOU HAVE A RED CHECK, WHICH MEANS YOU'VE DONE WONDERFULLY.

YOU'RE COMPLETED. THE ADDITIONAL HOURS THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED ARE ONLY FIVE.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, FIVE HOURS, YOU COULD PROBABLY BLINK AND GET.

AS YOU CAN SEE, EVERYONE THIS EVENING HAS MORE THAN EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF MINIMALLY REQUIRED HOURS IN ADDITION TO ALL THE STATUTORY HOURS.

IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE CHECKS, EACH HOUR OF THAT WILL EQUAL 13, IN ADDITION TO THE ONES YOU TOOK ABOVE AND BEYOND, THE FIVE MINIMUM, WHICH GETS YOU YOUR TOTAL HOURS.

MR. BEACH HAS A LIST OF HOURS. HE'LL READ THOSE TO YOU.

BUT I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU ALL FOR DOING EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD DO THIS YEAR.

ALL OF YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE. YOU'VE COMPLETED ALL YOUR REGULATORY HOURS, AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE HAD SOME EXTENSIVE ABSENCES DUE TO MEDICAL ISSUES AND OTHER DELAYS, BUT I HAVE HAD NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON NOT COMPLETE WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE COMPLETED THIS YEAR.

AND I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB. MR. BEACH, IF YOU'LL GO AHEAD AND READ WHAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO READ THIS EVENING, WE'LL HAVE THAT ON OUR RECORD THAT YOU ALL ARE IN COMPLIANCE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, NO ONE'S WELL BELOW THE FIVE.

THANK YOU, MRS. HOGAN. YOU'RE WELCOME. AS REQUIRED, I AM GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE TRUSTEE CONTINUING EDUCATION HOURS FOR REPORTING PERIOD MAY 2025 THROUGH APRIL 2026. ALL TRUSTEES MET OR EXCEEDED THE REQUIRED HOURS OF TRAINING FOR THE MAY OF 2026 TRAINING PERIOD.

THE RECORD FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION HOURS OBTAINED BY EACH TRUSTEE READS AS FOLLOWS.

TRUSTEE PLACE 1, LARRY GLICK, 44 HOURS. PLACE 2, TRUSTEE JOHNNY BEACH, 28 HOURS.

TRUSTEE PLACE 3, LINDA GRIFFIN, 23.5 HOURS. TRUSTEE 4, DAPHNE STANLEY, 22 HOURS.

TRUSTEE 5, JAMIE MILLER, 30 HOURS. TRUSTEE PLACE 6, ROBERT SELDERS, 46 HOURS.

AND TRUSTEE PLACE 7, WES JOHNSON, 23 HOURS. THANK YOU, TRUSTEES, FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT IN DOING YOUR EDUCATION.

ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY BOARD MEMBERS? SEEING NONE, WE WILL MOVE ON IN THE AGENDA.

AND NOW WE WILL GO TO ITEM NUMBER 1. TRUSTEE ATTENDANCE AT RECENT DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY EVENTS.

[VI.A. Trustees' Report]

03, RECOGNITION OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY DISTRICT STAFF AND STUDENTS.

04, RECOGNITION OF NEW PROGRAMS AND SPECIAL ACTIVITIES.

WE'RE GOING TO START TO MY RIGHT. MR. SELDERS.

THANK YOU, MR. BEACH. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL APPRECIATION LUNCHEON, AND I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF OUR APS FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT THEY DO EVERY DAY IN OUR SCHOOLS.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WEAR MANY HATS, AND SO YOUR IMPACT ON STAFF AND STUDENTS DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST SHARE HOW MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO AND CONTINUING WORK THAT YOU DO ON OUR CAMPUSES.

I ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE SACHSE GIRLS SOCCER STATE SEMI FINAL PLAYOFF.

THEY PLAYED A MATCH AGAINST KELLER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAME UP A LITTLE SHORT. BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM FOR THE FIGHT AND THE GRIT THAT THEY, ALONG WITH THE COACHES DISPLAYED.

I MEAN, THEY WERE DOWN ONE ZERO. THEY GOT THE MATCH TO EVEN.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO LEAVE AFTER REGULATION AND THEY.

WASN'T BECAUSE I LEFT THOUGH. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT. BUT I LOVE THE WAY THAT THEY SHOWED UP AND FOUGHT ALL THE WAY TO THE END AND REPRESENTED OUR DISTRICT.

SO I REALLY WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE SEEING THAT.

I ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND WITH MR. GLICK TO GO TO THE NORTH TEXAS AREA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARD'S APRIL MEETING IN LAKE DALLAS.

THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC WAS AROUND ALL KIDS CAN LEARN.

AND THE SUBTOPIC WAS HOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS EMPOWER STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO THRIVE.

AND SO WE HEARD FROM SEVERAL SCHOOL LEADERS IN REGION 10 AND REGION 11 WHO ALSO WERE PARENTS THEMSELVES OF SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ABOUT THE RAPID CHANGES AND SPED AND HOW WE AS BOARDS SHOULD LOOK AT THINGS FROM A DIFFERENT LENS.

AND THEY TALKED ABOUT IT FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT SPED IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT A SEPARATE SYSTEM.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. JUST KIND OF. THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD AND INTERACTING WITH TRUSTEES FROM ALL OVER REGION 10 AND REGION 11.

[00:30:06]

LAKE DALLAS DISD ALSO HAS A BARBECUE TEAM. WHAT? AND I MEAN, THEY WERE BRAGGING ABOUT IT AND I CHECKED OUT.

IS IT UIL? NO, BUT THERE'S A BARBECUE LEAGUE THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THEY COMPETE.

SO MR. BEACH AND I DID ATTEND THE ROWLETT CHAMBER LUNCHEON, AND THE GUEST SPEAKER WAS CHRIS WALLACE FROM THE NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION. BY THE END OF THIS DECADE, WE WILL BE THE THIRD LARGEST METROPLEX IN THE UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, AND DFW, SURPASSING CHICAGO, WHICH WILL MOVE TO FOURTH PLACE.

IF WE WERE A NATION, THE METROPLEX WOULD BE 23RD LARGEST GDP IN THE WORLD.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, MR. BEACH AND I, WE WERE JOINED BY CHRISTOPH BAUER, WHO'S THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER OF ROWLETT, TALKED TO MR. WALLACE ABOUT POTENTIAL LEGISLATION THAT COULD BE COMING UP NEXT YEAR WHEN THE LEGISLATURE MEETS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THE GOVERNOR HAS TALKED ABOUT IS HAVING A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY FOR TRES AND BONDS.

HE WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS. I HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH.

AND I WILL TELL YOU. I THINK MR. BEACH AGREED AND ALSO MR. BAUER AGREED. THE ALMOST IMPOSSIBILITY OF ANY CITIES OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS GETTING TO THAT NUMBER.

AND MR. WALLACE SAID, YOU'RE RIGHT. AND THEY KNOW IT.

THEY KNOW IT. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT FOR ANYTHING NEXT YEAR IN AUSTIN, WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

I MEAN, WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL WHEN WE GOT UP TO 64%, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE OTHER 2.67 WOULD COME FROM.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW. AND THAT WAS BONDS WITHOUT ANY OPPOSITION.

THERE'S JUST A CERTAIN POPULATION THAT VOTES NO.

WE KNOW THAT. WE KNOW THAT. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO WORK ON.

I DID ATTEND, ALONG WITH MR. BEACH, THE GISD SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU TO DR. GARRETT FOR PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA.

I'D ASKED THIS THE LAST MEETING. THIS IS THE PRESENTATION THAT JAVIER FERNANDEZ DID.

I ASKED HIM TO MAKE THAT PRESENTATION AND HE DID.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER IT. I'LL JUST GO OVER A COUPLE OF THINGS.

SO IF YOU REMEMBER IN UVALDE, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP THERE WAS KEYING.

THE PRINCIPAL HAD MULTIPLE KEYS. THAT SITUATION DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.

SECURITY FENCING, IF YOU KNOW, OUR DISTRICTS ARE ALMOST 70 CAMPUSES.

NO TWO FOOTPRINTS ARE THE SAME. WE'VE WORKED IT OUT.

AND THE SECURITY FENCING, WHICH IS VERY ATTRACTIVE, IS STARTING TO COME IN.

IT'S A DETERRENT. WE'VE MODERNIZED ALL OUR FIRE ALARMS AND MADE SURE THAT ALL PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE. SECURITY CAMERAS. I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CAMERAS.

BACK IN OUR 2014 BOND, WE PUT IN 4300 STATE OF THE ART CAMERAS.

THAT WAS IN 2015 AND 2016. STATE OF THE ART NOW, TEN YEARS LATER IS DIFFERENT.

SO THE CAMERAS WE'RE PUTTING IN NOW, BACK THEN WERE TWO MEGAPIXELS.

THE CAMERAS WERE PUTTING IN NOW UP TO EIGHT MEGAPIXELS.

AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CAMERAS, YOU KNOW THE QUALITY OF OUR NEW CAMERA SYSTEM AND THEY'RE ALL GOING IN.

THE OTHERS ARE PRETTY MUCH SELF-EXPLANATORY. TO ME, THE BIG CHANGE IS THE ENHANCEMENTS OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

THERE WAS A TIME IN CONSTRUCTION THAT THE OPEN CLASS CONCEPT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND WE HAVE 12 CAMPUSES NOW THAT MEET THOSE DEFINITIONS.

MR. FERNANDES SHOWED US THE CHANGES WE'RE MAKING, AND THEY'RE ALL GOING TO START BEING IMPLEMENTED THIS SUMMER.

AND ON FOURTH ENTRY RESISTANT FILM, I'LL JUST TELL YOU GO ONLINE, LOOK AT THE 3M ULTRA S 800.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE USING. 3M ULTRA S 800 FILM.

LOOK AT THE DEMONSTRATIONS ONLINE. YOU'LL BE SHOCKED AT HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS, NOT ONLY THE FRONT OF THE BUILDINGS, BUT THE SIDE. AND ALSO ALL OF OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE THE SAME THING.

I ATTENDED THE ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AGAINST WILEY.

THE BATTLE FOR FIRST PLACE AT BOTH ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AND WILEY EAST.

ROWLETT WON BOTH GAMES. [INAUDIBLE]. TOMORROW AND I BELIEVE THEY WERE AGAINST 40.

ROWLETT IN FIRST PLACE. THEY HAVE A GREAT BASEBALL TEAM THERE.

I HAPPEN TO MEET THE MOTHER OF THE CATCHER, AND HE'S ON A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO OHIO STATE.

PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. ROWLETT CHAMBER BOARD, ROWLETT CHAMBER FOUNDATION.

[00:35:04]

MR. BEACH WAS THERE. DAPHNE STANLEY WAS THERE.

I THINK, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I WAS CHAIRMAN OF ROWLETT'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SO MY NAME IS ON THE PLAT FOR ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.

BOTH OF MY CHILDREN GRADUATED FROM ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THERE WITH THE TEACHERS AND STAFF AND PRINCIPALS.

IT WAS GREAT TO SEE 30TH ANNIVERSARY. WE HAD THE ROWLETT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BANQUET AT THE HELLA TEMPLE IN GARLAND.

I GOT A CHANCE TO TALK TO THE LAKEVIEW HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ BAND, AND I WILL BE MAKING A PRESENTATION TO THEM ABOUT MY JAZZ HISTORY.

WE HAD THE GARLAND EDUCATION GOLF TOURNAMENT ON FRIDAY.

HOW COULD I PUT IT? WE DID WELL. WE FINISHED 4TH OUT OF 36 TEAMS. NOT BAD. I PARTICULARLY DID NOT PLAY VERY WELL.

I MADE SOME PUTTS. THAT WAS ABOUT IT. THE REST OF OUR TEAM.

AND THEY COULD TALK ABOUT IT. I THINK PLAYED MUCH BETTER THAN I DID.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOOD WE DIDN'T WIN, BECAUSE WHEN WE WON TWO YEARS AGO, WE GOT A LOT OF CRAP.

PUT IT LIKE THAT. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT WE WERE HEARING, SO.

AND FINALLY, LAST WEDNESDAY. YOU HAVE SOME OTHER SLIDES THAT YOU COULD GO THROUGH ON THE SAFETY? YEAH. SO THAT'S OUR SAFETY. THAT'S OUR DISPATCH CENTER.

VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE IF YOU GO TO SEE IT. AND FINALLY, ONE MORE SLIDE ON SAFETY.

WELL, THAT'S NOW A BRAND NEW THING. WE JUST SAW IT AT OUR COMMITTEE MEETING.

THIS IS OUR MOBILE DISPATCH CENTER THAT CAN GO TO EVERY SINGLE.

IF WE HAVE ANY EMERGENCIES. AND ALL THE SUPPLIES WILL BE IN THE TRUCK.

WE HAVE GREAT COOPERATION FROM OUR POLICE AND FIRE AT OUR THREE TRI-CITIES.

THIS WILL ALSO BE ON SITE. SO THEN, FINALLY, LAST WEDNESDAY WAS EARTH DAY.

I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE INVITED TO THE EARTH X CONVENTION, THE LARGEST OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD.

AND IT'S RUN BY A GENTLEMAN WHO YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT.

NAMED TRAMMELL CROW. LIKE TRAMMELL CROW AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

JUST DOESN'T GO. HE GAVE OUT THIS BOOK. I'M JUST GOING TO READ IT.

JUST A COUPLE OF LINES. WE MAPPED OUT A PATH TO SAVE THE WORLD'S OCEANS, FORESTS, AND CLIMATE WITHOUT SACRIFICING OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING. OUR PLANS BRING TOGETHER THE BEST IDEAS OF CONSERVATIVES AND PROGRESSIVES WITHOUT PANDERING TO THE PASSIONS OR INTERESTS OF EITHER. SO I WANT TO SHOW YOU JUST ONE PICTURE.

I THINK THIS IN MY MIND AND I'M A GREAT LOVER OF FORESTS, OBVIOUSLY, AND BIRDS.

AT THIS CONFERENCE, I MET THE CEOS OF AMERICAN FOREST AND THE CEO OF THE AUDUBON SOCIETY, TWO OF MY HEROES.

I WAS INVITED BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF TONGA TO VISIT HIS ISLAND NATION AND GO SNORKELING WITH HIM, WITH HUMPBACK WHALES. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.

IN THIS PICTURE IN THE TOP YOU SEE A GRAY WOOLY MONKEY.

IN THE BOTTOM YOU SEE A RED NOSED SOCKY MONKEY.

BOTH AT ONE TIME HAVE BEEN ON THE IUCN ENDANGERED LIST, CRITICALLY ENDANGERED.

THEY'RE BOTH ON IT RIGHT NOW. THE REASON THIS PICTURE TO ME IS SO SPECIAL IS THIS IS A FOREST IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE OVER FOUR HOURS FROM THE NEAREST AIRPORT. THIS IS A PROTECTED FOREST BY THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT WITH A FRENCH CONGLOMERATE THAT DOES FORESTING.

BUT EVERY TIME THEY TAKE OUT A TREE, THEY REPLACE MULTIPLE TREES.

SO THIS FOREST WILL EXIST FOREVER. THE WORD IS CALLED SUSTAINABILITY.

AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE OF OUR EARTH AND OUR PLANET AND OUR KIDS THAT WE TEACH, IF WE CAN SOMEHOW FIGURE OUT, AS TRAMMELL CROW SAID, AND HE SAID, IF TEXAS TURNS GREEN, THE NATION WILL TURN DARK GREEN, QUOTE UNQUOTE, FROM TRAMMELL CROW. THAT'S WHAT THIS PICTURE IS.

TWO ENDANGERED SPECIES BEING SAVED IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE.

AND I'VE SEEN CLEARCUTTING IN THE AMAZON, IN INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.

IF WE CAN SAVE OUR FORESTS, WE CAN SAVE THE PLANET.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. GLICK. MR. JOHNSON.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY SLIDES TO SHOW. SORRY, LARRY.

I'LL BRING SOME NEXT TIME FOR THE GROUP. NO. I HAD A GOOD TIME OF ATTENDING A FEW DIFFERENT BAND EVENTS. ONE WAS THE DISTRICT SOLO AND ENSEMBLE COMPETITION FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AT BRANDENBURG ELEMENTARY,

[00:40:02]

BRANDENBURG ALWAYS THROWS A REALLY GOOD COMPETITION, AND IT'S EXTREMELY WELL ORGANIZED, EXTREMELY WELL DONE.

SO MY HAT'S OFF TO MR. FIGARELLI AND HIS TEAM AND THE BRANDENBURG TEAM FOR ORGANIZING THAT EVENT.

THE KIDS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE A LITTLE STRESSED BY GOING TO THE COMPETITIONS, BY AND LARGE, SOME GOOD MUSIC COULD BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE HALLWAYS IN BRANDENBURG.

I ALSO HAD THE DISTINCT PLEASURE OF GOING TO SEE THE WYLIE EAST JAZZ FESTIVAL, WHERE WE HAD A COUPLE OF.

ACTUALLY THREE BANDS PARTICIPATING. WE HAD SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL'S JAZZ BAND THAT WAS THERE ALONG WITH AUSTIN ACADEMY AND HUDSON JAZZ, AND ALL OF THEM JUST DID TREMENDOUS. AND I WAS VERY PLEASED ABOUT LISTENING.

AND IT'S GREAT JAZZ PERFORMANCES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AT THAT PARTICULAR EVENT.

AND THEN LAST, I THINK IT'S INTERESTING, WE HAVE A PAMPHLET FOR EDUCATION IS FREEDOM.

AND IT WAS MY DISTINCT HONOR TO ACTUALLY ATTEND THE EDUCATION IS FREEDOM BANQUET LAST WEEK DOWN AT THE FRONTIERS OF FLIGHT MUSEUM.

ONE OF OUR OWN IS THE CEO OF THE ORGANIZATION, DR.

SUSANNA RUSSELL, WHO USED TO SERVE AS CHIEF LEADERSHIP OFFICER AT THIS DISTRICT NOT SO LONG AGO.

BUT SHE IS NOW DOING GREAT THINGS DOWN THERE.

EDUCATION IS FREEDOM IS A FANTASTIC ORGANIZATION THAT TAKES INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND THEN BASICALLY IDENTIFIES THEM BASED ON NOMINATIONS FROM FACULTY MEMBERS AS PEOPLE WHO HAVE POTENTIAL TO SHOW REAL GROWTH IN COLLEGE.

AND SO THEY GET THEM AND THEY COACH THEM UP ON COLLEGE SELECTION, HELP THEM WITH ESSAYS, HELP THEM WITH ALL THESE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT NOBODY TEACHES YOU GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL AND HOW TO BECOME A COLLEGE APPLICANT.

AND IT IS A MYRIAD OF THINGS YOU HAVE TO KNOW NOW.

IT IS NOT LIKE I JUST WROTE A ONE PAGE APPLICATION TO UT AND SENT IT IN LIKE YOU'RE IN.

I WAS LIKE, THAT WAS AWESOME. AND NOW IT'S THIS EIGHT MONTH SIEGE OF FORMS, ESSAYS, AND WORK THAT THESE STUDENTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH. WELL, EIF REALLY HELPS THEM OUT AND STREAMLINES THE PROCESS.

AND THEY DO THAT FOR STUDENTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX AREA, AND THEY WORK WITH SEVERAL DISTRICTS.

WE ARE PROUD TO BE A DISTRICT THAT WORKS WITH EIF, AND WE HAD A NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WERE EIF SCHOLARS THIS YEAR.

AND IT WAS A TREMENDOUS EVENING DOWN IN DALLAS.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE BEING DOWN THERE. AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO AND COMMIT PARTNERSHIP DOES FOR THE DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. MRS STANLEY. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BEACH.

I LEFT MY LIST AT HOME, SO I'M GOING TO JUST REALLY BRIEFLY.

I GOT TO GO DOWN TO AUSTIN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COUNCIL WITH TASB AND GOT TO DO MOCK TESTIFYING.

GOT TO LEARN HOW TO DO MOCK TESTIFYING. AND THEY EVEN SET UP SOME OF OUR LEGISLATORS TO BE THERE TO CRITIQUE US.

AND IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THAT.

IT TAKES A LOT TO GET UP THERE AND, AND OH, THAT'S THAT'S A LOT OF IFS, BUT THAT WAS AMAZING.

AND THEN IT FOLLOWED THE NEXT DAY WITH WORKING UP OUR GRASSROOTS AND MR. GLICK. IT'S NOT REALLY PART OF THE PRIORITY, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY DISCUSSED ALONG WITH SOME LEGISLATION THAT SHOULD WE LEAVE SOME BUILDINGS VACANT, THEY MAY DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH OUR BUILDINGS.

SO I FELT REALLY CONFIDENT THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR US, JUST BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION.

BUT THERE'S SOME INTERIM CHARGES ALREADY OUT.

I WILL SHARE WITH YOU GUYS THE ROUGH DRAFT OF ALL THE REGIONS THAT CAME TOGETHER.

WE WON'T GET THE FINAL DRAFT UNTIL WE GO TO SLI IN JUNE, I THINK IT IS.

BUT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT WHETHER YOU'RE A SMALL DISTRICT OR A BIG DISTRICT, THE PROBLEMS ARE VERY CONSISTENT. THEY MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S STILL THE SAME BASIC TOO MANY BOXES TO CHECK, WAY TOO MUCH. EVERYTHING THAT THEY GIVE US HAS SOME KIND OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE TASK TO IT.

AND THEN THEY WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE TOO ADMIN HEAVY.

BUT THEY FORCE US TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT. AND IT WAS JUST.

I ENJOY SPEAKING WITH THEM BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS GET PUT INTO SOME KIND OF A SMALL GROUP TO WORK THINGS WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE STATE OF TEXAS. AND SO IT'S REALLY A HUGE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

SO I JUST THANK THE BOARD FOR LETTING ME DO THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR.

AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO. I WAS GIVEN VERY STRICT INSTRUCTIONS.

NEXT WEDNESDAY, THE GARLAND NOON EXCHANGE. EVERY MONTH, THE GARLAND NOON EXCHANGE HONORS TWO KIDS WITH ESSAYS, AND THEY ALLOW THEM TO BRING THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR COUNSELORS TO OUR MEETING WHERE WE FEED THEM LUNCH AND THEY READ THEIR ESSAY.

[00:45:06]

LOPEZ ROUNDTABLE ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD WINNER FOR THEIR ACE STUDENT OF THE YEAR, WHICH IS. I'D TELL YOU WHAT THE ACE MEANS, BUT I CANNOT REMEMBER, SO BEAR WITH ME.

BUT THE WINNER OF THAT WILL GO ON TO OUR TEXAS DISTRICT CONVENTION.

AND WE'VE HAD THREE WIN AT THAT LEVEL AS WELL.

AND THEY ALL RIDE ON THE SAME TOPIC EVERY YEAR.

STUDENT SERVICES HELPS US TREMENDOUSLY IN WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS, THE HIGH SCHOOLS, TO GET THE STUDENTS TO DO THE ESSAY.

BUT PLEASE, NEXT WEDNESDAY AT NOON. AND THE BEST PART IS WE HAVE OUR CULINARY GROUP CATERS IT FOR US.

SO YOU GET TO EAT THE FOOD THAT THEY PREPARE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND THEY SERVE IT.

AND I LOVE SEEING OUR KIDS IN ACTION, BECAUSE IT JUST WILL REALLY.

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPENDING QUITE A BIT OF TIME IN THE COMMUNITY THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS AND GET ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I LOVE SHARING ABOUT OUR DISTRICT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING.

THEY ASK ABOUT THE SECURITY, THEY ASK ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND THIS BOARD WE'RE VERY WELL INFORMED AND I'M VERY.

THANK YOU. DR. LOPEZ BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EASY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A LOT OF I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON IT.

SO THANKS. YOU BET. MR. MILLER. YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'M ALWAYS IMPRESSED BY THIS BOARD AND THE AMOUNT OF THINGS THAT ARE ATTENDED.

AND AS I'VE SAID A MILLION TIMES, YOU CAN PRETEND TO CARE, BUT YOU CAN'T PRETEND TO SHOW UP.

AND THIS BOARD CONTINUES TO DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF SHOWING UP.

I KNOW I'M ALWAYS IMPRESSED. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

YOU'VE GOT THE PACKAGE TRANSITION LEARNING CENTER, THE ADULTS THAT ARE WORKING WITH THESE KIDS HELP THEM LEARN SKILLS. YOU CAN I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MORNINGS AT LATHAM BAKERY, WHERE 1 OR 2 WILL BE IN THERE OF THE STUDENTS AND THEY'LL BE LEARNING SERVICE SKILLS WHETHER IT'S CLEANING TABLES, ARRANGING THE TABLE SET UP SALT AND PEPPER, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. AND THE ADMINISTRATORS THAT WORK WITH THESE KIDS ARE VERY SPECIAL.

AND IT WAS REALLY, REALLY A GOOD THING TO WITNESS.

AND THESE PAMPHLETS, THESE STICKERS PAMPHLETS ARE MADE BY THEM, SO THEY DO A VERY GOOD JOB.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THAT EFFORT.

THE GOLF TOURNAMENT WAS GREAT. I KNOW LARRY TALKED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.

YOU KNOW, THE ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE A LOT BETTER IF WE GOT HIM SOME ORGANIC BALLS FOR WHEN HE KEEPS HITTING THEM IN THE CREEK.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, OTHER THAN THAT, HE'S RIGHT.

IT WAS A FUN GOLF TOURNAMENT. AND THE ONLY OTHER THING I'LL SAY IS, AS YOU KNOW, OR YOU MAY NOT KNOW I'M DOING A, I HAVE A PODCAST CALLED GRS COMMUNITY IMPACT.

AND THIS PAST WEEK WE RECORDED A’JA AND I FORGET HER LAST NAME.

NOW SOMEBODY HELP ME WITH A’JA, THE WEIGHTLIFTING.

BOSTIC. EXACTLY. I'M SORRY. AND WHAT A GREAT INTERVIEW THAT WAS.

AND ANTOINE HOBBS ATTENDED WITH HER. SHE'S SO MODEST THAT I HAD HIM COME IN THE ROOM, TOO, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO POINT OUT ALL OF HER GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

BUT YOU TALK ABOUT A MARVELOUS KID AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO HER RESPOND, AND HOW SHE GOES ABOUT PREPARING FOR HER COMPETITIONS WAS VERY INSPIRING.

SO LOOK FOR THAT NEXT MONTH. IT WILL BE POSTED HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

GRS COMMUNITY IMPACT. LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. I ALONG WITH WILL GO TO THE MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE LARRY'S SLIDE TODAY ON THE SAFETY AND SECURITY, BECAUSE ONE THING I DO AGREE ON, LARRY AND I. MR. BEACH DID YOU WANT TO GIVE MS. GRIFFIN A CHANCE TO. YEAH, I WILL, I WILL IN JUST A SECOND.

OKAY. LARRY AND I, WE ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

AND THAT'S I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS, THEY WANT TO HEAR THAT AND THEY WANT TO SEE THAT.

AND WE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD ANSWERS ON IT. I MEAN, THEY HAVE AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING. SO IT'S BEEN VERY GOOD. AND I THINK OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WE ARE IN EXCELLENT HANDS ON SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AND WE DID THAT TONIGHT. WE ELIMINATED THREE ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT TO KEEP THE KIDS HOME IN CASE THE WEATHER TURNED BAD.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH US. ALSO, I WANT TO I'VE DONE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY DONE, BUT I DO WANT TO COMPLIMENT OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT AND KEEPING OUR BUILDINGS UP.

I WENT TO A COOKOUT AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT WERE THERE.

JENNIFER GAVE ALL OF THEM DOOR PRIZES. A LOT OF THEM DOOR PRIZES.

AND THE MEN WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF HOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED IN WHAT THEY DO IN OUR BUILDINGS.

[00:50:05]

AND IT'S FOR THE KIDS. THEY'RE DOING IT FOR THE KIDS. SO THANK THEM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T PAY THAT MUCH.

BUT BOY, THEY'RE GETTING THE BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS. AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS COMING UP, IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S VERY TOUGH. AND ALSO COMMUNITY LOOK AROUND.

GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE DIRT IS FLYING. FREEMAN ELEMENTARY, I MEAN HILLSIDE ELEMENTARY, THE IT CENTER, THE AG BARN IS FIXING TO GO UP MEMORIAL PATHWAY AND STUDENTS ARE BUILDING IS TAKING PLACE FROM THE.

BE PROUD OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND JUMP ON BOARD WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S YOUR TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE MAKING THIS A REALITY.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT HERE TODAY AS WE WIND DOWN THE SCHOOL YEAR, I WANT TO COMPLIMENT AND CELEBRATE ALL OF OUR ATHLETES, GIRLS AND BOYS IN ALL OF OUR SPORTS AND WHAT THEY HAVE REPRESENTED FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR GISD FROM SACHSE ROWLETT AND GARLAND. IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING YEAR AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. YOU DON'T GO UNNOTICED AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALSO, TEACHERS. WE'RE ON A ROLLER COASTER ON THE WAY DOWN GRADUATION IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU. WE KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO FINISH STRONG. STUDENTS, JUMP IN THERE AND GET IT.

GET THAT CCMR. LET'S HAVE A GREAT GRADUATION.

LET'S BE MOTIVATED AND LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M GOING TO PASS IT TO MRS. GRIFFIN. WOULD YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? YES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I'M SO PROUD OF THE BOARD MEMBERS FOR BEING SO VISIBLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

AND LET'S FINISH THE YEAR WITH THE GISD WAY WE KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

LET'S FINISH STRONG. THANK YOU, MRS. GRIFFIN.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'LL PASS IT ON TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR HIS REPORT.

[VI.B. Superintendent's Report]

THANK YOU, MRS. GRIFFIN. YOU KNOW YOU HEARD HOW THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE JUST LIKE EXCITED AND THEY'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE INFORMED THEY'RE FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT.

WELL, THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT.

HEB IS FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT BEING TOP FIVE FINALISTS.

RIGHT. THIS SUNDAY, WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT TWO THINGS BOARD OF THE YEAR AND DISTRICT OF THE YEAR.

YOU KNOW WE ARE KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE MODEST.

ONE OF THE TWO, WE WOULD TAKE TWO OF THE TWO, BUT WE'D BE WE'RE NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR ZERO OF THE TWO.

BUT IF IT IS ZERO OF THE TWO, IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE'S BLESSING TO HAVE.

SO WE JUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORK IS REALLY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF, AND JUST ALL THE GOODNESS THAT COMES IS THROUGH THEM.

AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WELL, WHAT SEPARATES US FROM EVERYBODY ELSE? BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. SO SOMETIMES WE THINK WHAT IS HERE IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE.

AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT WITH TWO THINGS. THE FIRST THING IS WHAT THE BOARD DOES ELEVATES THE CLASSROOM.

THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

WE SHOULD BE ELEVATING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM FROM OUR PROFESSIONALS, RIGHT TO OUR STUDENTS.

AND THEN THE SECOND THING THAT'S HAPPENING IS WE TALKED ABOUT EDUCATION TRANSFORMS LIVES.

WE HAVE REDEFINED HOW KIDS ARE READY FOR LIFE.

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IS VERY RARE. AND IT'S NOT ONLY A LEADER IN THE STATE, BUT IT'S IN A LEADER IN THE NATION.

WHEN YOU HAVE 15% OF YOUR KIDS GRADUATING WITH AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE THAT'S UNHEARD OF.

OKAY. THAT IS BEING UP TO SCALE. AND SO THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE CERTIFICATIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING ON.

SO IT IS A GREAT HONOR. WE'RE GOING THERE TO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY.

WE'RE GOING IN THERE JUST KNOWING THAT IT'S ABOUT THE WORK.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE REWARD, BUT WE'RE ALSO THERE TO WIN AN AWARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A BALANCING ACT, RIGHT? SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THE BOARD BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOTICING ACROSS THE STATE.

AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLE IT'S EASY TO LOOK FOR WEEDS IN THE GRASS.

BUT WHEN YOU STEP BACK AND YOU REALLY SEE WHAT THE LANDSCAPE IS IN GARLAND.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE AND WE'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH WHERE WE'RE AT.

I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT WE'RE ENDING STRONG.

WITHIN A MONTH, WE'RE GOING TO ALREADY BE HAVING GRADUATIONS, AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL TIME, BUT IT'S ALSO A STRESSFUL TIME.

YOU KNOW, ANYBODY THAT HAS HAD KIDS GRADUATING THERE'S SO MANY ACTIVITIES GOING ON.

IT'S A WHIRLWIND. THEY'RE GETTING READY FOR COLLEGE.

THERE'S MIXED EMOTIONS. YOU GOT FAMILY COMING IN.

IT'S IT IS JUST A CRAZY TIME OF YEAR. SO PROCEED WITH PATIENCE.

PROCEED WITH LOVE, PEOPLE IT'S A STRESSFUL TIME OF YEAR, YOU KNOW YOU SEE PEOPLE JUST STRESSED GOING TO THE GAS PUMP THESE DAYS, RIGHT? SO, SO RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME WHERE WE'RE GOING TO USE KIND OF WHAT MR.

[00:55:04]

HE TALKED ABOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS CAN CHANGE THE NATION, BUT THE ATTITUDE OF GARLAND CAN ALSO CHANGE THE ENTIRE DFW AND IF WE PROCEED WITH KINDNESS, WE REMIND OURSELVES, YOU KNOW, HEY, IT'S STRESSFUL TIMES.

THEY MIGHT BE HAVING A BAD DAY. LET'S NOT ADD TO IT.

IT'S AMAZING HOW THAT RIPPLE EFFECT WILL TRANSCEND TO OTHER PEOPLE.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO MR. JOHNNY BEACH.

THANK YOU. DR. LOPEZ. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDER APPROVAL.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. BOARD OF TRUSTEES. PRESIDENT BEACH.

SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ, YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN MAROON FOLDERS.

YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN MAROON FOLDERS, A COPY OF THIS YEAR'S 26-27 SALARY SCHEDULES AND COMPENSATION INFORMATION AS TOLD TO YOU LAST MEETING IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETING, THE SALARY SCHEDULE WILL SHOW THE RATE.

CAN YOU MOVE IT UP? OKAY.

IT SHOWS THE INCREASES FOR TEACHER SALARIES FOR OUR PARAPROFESSIONAL AND AUXILIARY SALARIES, AS WELL AS FOR OUR CAMPUS STAFF AND PROFESSIONALS.

FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPUS STAFF, PROFESSIONAL AS WELL AS PARAPROFESSIONAL THERE'S A 4% INCREASE, AND FOR TEACHERS, THERE IS A STEP INCREASE OF 4%.

BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE, THERE IS A 4% INCREASE.

ALSO, OUR TEACHERS RECEIVE THE TEACHER RETENTION ALLOTMENT, WHICH DEPENDS UPON THE NUMBER OF YEARS SERVICE THEY HAVE.

THOSE WHO HAVE SERVICE UP TO THREE YEARS RECEIVE A $25 ANNUAL ALLOTMENT.

THOSE WHO HAVE FIVE YEARS AND OVER RECEIVE A $5,000 ALLOTMENT.

AND I THINK I STATED THAT WRONG. UP TO THREE AND FOUR YEARS IS THE $2,500 ALLOTMENT.

[01:00:03]

ON THERE IT'S $25.25, NOT $25.55. OH, I MISSTATED THAT.

THAT'S $0.30 DIFFERENCE. $25.25 THAT IS THE BEGINNING SALARY.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE WILL MOVE UP AS WELL.

BUT $25.25 IS OUR BEGINNING SALARY FOR OUR BUS DRIVERS.

WE HAVE INCLUDED IN OUR COMPENSATION INFORMATION AS WELL, A LIST OF STIPENDS BASED UPON ADDITIONAL AND OR SUPPLEMENTAL ASSIGNMENTS OF STAFF MEMBERS.

ARE YOU. I'M GOING TO TABLE OF CONTENTS. I BELIEVE IT'S PAGE 36. THAT'S WHERE STIPENDS BEGIN. BUT WE HAVE REMOVED PRINCIPAL STIPENDS FOR SOME OF OUR TARGETED CAMPUSES. OTHERWISE, THERE ARE NO CHANGES.
