GOOD EVENING. IT IS 5 P.M. AND TONIGHT IS A REGULARLY CALLED MEETING OF THE GARLAND ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

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

MISS GRIFFIN WOULD WANT US 100% TO MOVE ON WITH THIS MEETING AND ALL MEETINGS.

BECAUSE WHAT WAS HER LIFE ABOUT? ALWAYS BENEFITING CHILDREN? ABC AND IF YOU KNEW HER FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THOSE THREE LETTERS.

AND SO SHE'D WANT US TO CONTINUE DOING THAT TONIGHT AND EVERY NIGHT MOVING FORWARD.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO DO. BUT WE ARE GOING TO START BY ACKNOWLEDGING HER LOSS WITH A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

THANK YOU. I'M ALSO GOING TO ANNOUNCE THAT TOMORROW'S MEETING OF THE TEAM OF 8 TRAINING HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO THAT UNFORESEEN EVENT, AND WE'LL RESCHEDULE IT AT A CONVENIENT TIME THAT WE CAN DO IT UNDER THE LAW.

AND PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT. OKAY.

BUT AGAIN, WHILE THAT HAPPENED, THE 1ST PERSON WHO HAD BEEN IN THIS ROOM AND SAID, OKAY, IT'S TIME TO GET ON WITH THE MEETING AND CELEBRATE THESE KIDS IS MRS. LINDA GRIFFIN. SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

AND OUR 1ST KID THAT WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE IS FROM ARMSTRONG ELEMENTARY, AND HE'S GOING TO COME UP AND GIVE US THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A QUORUM, AND I DO CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AT 5:00 P.M..

HAD TO JUMP IN TO THAT, BUT WILL COME ON UP AND LET'S GET THIS THING STARTED.

EVERYONE, PLEASE RISE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. U.S.

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.

TEXAS FLAG. HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE.

TEXAS ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.

[APPLAUSE] OKAY. I'VE KNOWN THEIR FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME. GREAT KIDS, GREAT PARENTS, AND A VERY PROUD PRINCIPAL IS JOLIE SCOTT OVER THERE FROM ARKANSAS ELEMENTARY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WILL. GREAT JOB. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT ITEM WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM.

[III. Public Forum]

ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU GUYS, I THINK YOU KNOW THE DRILL GENERALLY THERE'S 3 MINUTES OF TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LUCERO CAZARES RODRIGUEZ.

GOOD EVENING MA'AM. YOU, I KNOW, KNOW THE RULES.

SO 3 MINUTES. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. BOARD OF TRUSTEES PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR LOPEZ.

MY NAME IS LUCERO CAZARES RODRIGUEZ. I LIVE AT 8314 MEADOWVIEW STREET, ROWLETT, TEXAS.

I HAVE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT FOR 22 YEARS. AND TONIGHT I'M HERE AS GARLAND EDUCATION ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MY CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF TRUSTEE LINDA GRIFFIN.

TO ALL STUDENTS, STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE GARLAND ISD COMMUNITY.

MISS GRIFFIN WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN. I KNEW HER PERSONALLY THROUGH THE ASSOCIATION AND SHE WAS ALWAYS A GREAT ALLY AND SUPPORTER TO OUR CAUSE. TO HELP FURTHER GARLAND ISD TO HELP ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF SUCCEED IN REFLECTING FOR PREPARATION FOR TONIGHT, I LOOKED UP OUR HISTORY WITH TRUSTEE GRIFFIN.

GARLAND EDUCATION ASSOCIATION SUPPORTED LINDA EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE RAN AS TRUSTEE GARLAND EDUCATION ASSOCIATION HELPED MS. GRIFFIN WHEN SHE WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO RUN AND GET ELECTED AS A BOARD OF THIS A BOARD MEMBER.

HER LOSS WILL BE GREATLY FELT THROUGHOUT OUR WHOLE DISTRICT.

2ND, I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND BRING UP A PROPOSAL TO THIS BOARD.

I WOULD LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO EXPLORE CREATING A FUND OR A BUCKET FOR EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO DONATE A DAY FOR OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO ARE GOING THROUGH A HEALTH CRISIS. WE ARE A FAMILY AND MOST OF THE TIME WE WANT TO HELP EACH OTHER THROUGHOUT OUR CAMPUSES.

I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER DISTRICTS IN OUR AREA AND AROUND THE STATE WHO HAVE MADE A POLICY CHANGE WHERE THEY HAVE BOTH A, A SUPPLEMENTAL DAYS AND A BUCKET THAT EMPLOYEES CAN DONATE TO.

THIS MAY NOT BE A POLICY CHANGE THAT WOULD WORK FOR OUR DISTRICT.

I WOULD LIKE FOR THE IDEA TO BE EXPLORED. I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE FOR US, BUT WE ARE A FAMILY AND WE ALL LIKE TO HELP EACH OTHER WHENEVER WE'RE IN TROUBLE, AND THIS WOULD JUST BE A WAY TO BE ABLE TO HELP A STRUGGLING STAFF MEMBER.

THIS AUDIT HELPS US IDENTIFY HOW CAMPUSES CAN IMPROVE SAFETY FOR STUDENTS, AND PROVIDES US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAFER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. 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 SAFETY AND SECURITY AUDIT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE. GARLAND ISD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

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

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

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

[00:40:03]

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 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. QUINN. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM IS 5.A. TRUSTEES REPORT.

[V.A. Trustees' Report]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT JOHNSON. IN LIEU OF TIME, I WILL GO QUICKLY.

1 WE HAD A SAFETY AND SECURITY MEETING THAT MR. QUINN, THAT I'M ON THAT PARTICULAR COMMITTEE.

LET THE PATRONS KNOW THAT WE ARE DEFINITELY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AS FAR AS SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AND I'M THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE MARK QUINN AT THE HELM. THANK YOU MARK.

NEXT, I WENT TO THE COACHES LUNCHEON FOR ALL THE COACHES IN THE GISD, AND IT WAS A GREAT LUNCHEON.

GOOD SPEAKERS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE SCHOOLS THAT WON TROPHIES OR WHATNOT FOR THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR.

ALSO WENT TO THE RIBBON CUT FOR THE NAAMAN FOREST MULTI ACTIVITY CENTER AND HAD A GREAT TURNOUT FROM THE COMMUNITY.

AND EVERYBODY WAS IN AWE THAT WAS THERE TO SEE THOSE.

AND THE SCHOOLS ARE REALLY ENJOYING THAT. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL OF THEM TO COME ONLINE.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING REAL SOON. ANOTHER ONE WE DID HAVE THE TYRESE MAXEY BASKETBALL CAMP AT SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE MR. MAXEY GAVE A FREE CAMP FOR OVER 200 STUDENTS OR OF OUR CHILDREN.

IT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT AND WE NAMED THE GYM AFTER TYRESE THAT DAY, GAVE HIM A COUPLE OF TEXAS COWBOY HATS AND HE WAS VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF THAT.

THE YOUNG MAN GIVES BACK TO THIS COMMUNITY NOT ONLY THROUGH THIS CAMP, BUT ALSO THROUGH THE EXCHANGE CLUB AT CHRISTMAS.

SO HATS OFF TO TYRESE MAXEY. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WAS HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING THE GRADUATION FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.

AND WE HAD ABOUT 50 STUDENTS. AND IT WAS REALLY A GOOD TURNOUT AND IT WENT VERY SMOOTHLY.

AND WE'RE SO PROUD OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT CAME BACK AND GOT THEIR GRADUATION CERTIFICATES, SO THEIR DIPLOMAS. SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. THANK YOU, MR. MILLER.

YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE THE NAME AND MAC WAS QUITE AN AWESOME THING.

AND FOR ANYBODY WHO HADN'T HAD A CHANCE, THERE'S STILL TWO MORE CHANCES TO TOUR SOME OF OUR NEW INDOOR ACTIVITY CENTERS THAT ARE SHARED BY SO MANY OF OUR STUDENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN ROWLETT AND AT SACHSE HERE SOON.

I'LL LET SOMEBODY ELSE GIVE YOU THE EXACT DATE SO I DON'T MESS IT UP.

BUT THESE ACTIVITY CENTERS ARE. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE KIDS AND THE STUDENTS EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN A LONG TIME.

THESE ARE FINALLY FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE A SECOND CHAIR TO NO ONE, WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF THE TOOLS THAT THESE KIDS NOW GET TO USE.

SO VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. AND THEN LAST MONTH, I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE BLOCK PARTY, THE BACK TO SCHOOL BLOCK PARTY THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY KAT BEARDEN, WHO'S A SPECIAL ED TEACHER AT SELDERS.

AND I GAVE HER A SHOUT OUT. SO SHOUT OUT AGAIN TO HER.

BUT I ALSO INVITED HER TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN THE GERS COMMUNITY IMPACT PODCAST, WHICH WE RECORDED LAST WEEK.

IT'LL BE PUT OUT SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER. AND ANYBODY SURROUNDING EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY WITH SPECIAL ED, THIS WILL BE A REAL SPECIAL ONE TO WATCH IF YOU GET A CHANCE WHEN IT COMES OUT.

SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR THAT. THANK YOU. MS. STANLEY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO A YOUNG LADY, MAYA GARCIA FROM ARMSTRONG, WHO CAME IN NUMBER3 IN THEIR SUMMER READING PROGRAM.

SHE WAS VERY UPSET TO ONLY BE NUMBER THREE. AND SHE'S ONLY A SECOND GRADER AND SHE HAS SUCH AN AVID THIRST FOR READING.

SO GOOD JOB, MAYA. AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT FRIENDSHIP AVENUE.

I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS. IT'S FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN WHO MIGHT HAVE TROUBLES CREATING SOME FRIENDSHIPS AND SOME BONDS.

THEY HAVE THEIR AUGUST 29TH MEETING AND THE THEME IS GOING TO BE GLOW PARTY AND KARAOKE FUN.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE 29TH. THEY'RE ON THE FACEBOOK AND IT'S FRIENDSHIP AVENUE.

SO I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND, ANYONE WHO HAS THAT.

IT'S A WAY TO CREATE A COMMUNITY, SO REACH OUT AND GIVE IT A SHOT.

I DID GET TO PARTICIPATE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS, WAS OUR GISD SUMMER GRADUATION,

[00:45:01]

BUT JUST TO SEE THE, IF I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UNDERSTANDS THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO MAKING SURE THAT AS MANY KIDS AS POSSIBLE ARE CROSSING THE FINISH LINE AND THESE KIDS GRADUATED IN AUGUST, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO IT IN THE MAY GRADUATION, BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE UP. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEIR ADMINISTRATORS, THEIR TEACHERS, THEIR MENTORS, THEY DIDN'T GIVE UP EITHER, AND THEY JUST STAY ON IT.

AND IT'S JUST A REAL THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATES WITH THAT.

OH, GOODNESS. OH, I DID PARTICIPATE IN A TEXAS PTA LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY PRIORITIES VIRTUAL LISTENING TOUR THAT THEY WERE DOING.

AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT OF US TRUSTEES WERE ON THAT.

IT WAS INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE, JUST KIND OF SPITBALLING SOME OF THE STRUGGLES THAT WE'RE ALL HAVING.

IT'S VERY COMMON. AND YET SOME OF THEM ARE VERY DIFFERENT.

AND THEN I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO EVELYN AND HUNTER BECAUSE I GOT TO GO FINALLY SEE EVELYN IN HER HOUSE OF SHINE, WHICH IS IN GRAPEVINE. AND IT'S A WEEK LONG CAMP THEY GO TO.

AND THEN THESE KIDS GET ON STAGE AND THEY DO A COMEDY.

IT'S LIKE A 20 MINUTE SKIT. AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT IT'S FUNNY, WE LAUGH HYSTERICALLY BECAUSE THESE KIDS, IT'S REALLY TOUGH. IT'S. AND IT'S PART OF A LEADERSHIP BUILDING LEADERS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AND IT HELPS BUILD THEIR CONFIDENCE. SO GOOD JOB, EVELYN AND HUNTER.

I'M TRYING TO THINK I'M TRYING NOT TO GO OVER SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS.

OH, AND THEN I ATTENDED THE. SO THIS YEAR, GATSBY THE AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO THIS DISTRICT BECAUSE IT WAS STARTED BY JOHN WASHINGTON AND MISS GRAY, DEAN BROWN 25 YEARS AGO, AND THEY'RE CELEBRATING 25 YEARS. AND THEY WERE GIVEN A GRANT FROM HOMES FOR HEROES ORGANIZATION.

AND THEY HAVE STARTED A GRAY DEAN BROWN ENDOWMENT GRANT.

I THINK IT IS, ISN'T IT, MISS BROWN? YES. SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT'LL BE ABLE TO GO ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO IN THAT ORGANIZATION.

IT'S, IT'S THEY ARE BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN GETTING OUR KIDS ACROSS THOSE FINISH LINES, LET ME TELL YOU.

AND THEN I DID WANT TO JUST HAVE A CALL OUT FOR THE FFA OPEN BARN NIGHT.

I DIDN'T GET TO ATTEND. SO I SENT MY TRUSTEE HUSBAND BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK AND IT WAS AN AMAZING EVENT.

HE SAID. HE SAID IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MORE.

AND IT WAS JUST SHOWING PEOPLE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE HAVE THE ROBUST FFA PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AND THEN WAIT TIL WE HAVE OUR NEW CENTER TO. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO.

THANK YOU, MR. GLICK. MR. PRESIDENT, AS I INDICATED EARLIER, BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I'M GOING TO PASS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SELDERS. YES, THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT FELLOW TRUSTEES HAVE ATTENDED, I ALSO ATTENDED THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS IN ROWLETT. MAYOR WINGET GAVE A REMARKABLE PRESENTATION, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY HEARTFELT AND SINCERE, AND HE DIDN'T DODGE AWAY FROM ANY OF THE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE PAST.

AND SO HE WAS VERY OPEN AND UPFRONT ABOUT THE CHALLENGES, BUT THEN TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO GET THINGS UNDER AND MOVING IN A MUCH BETTER DIRECTION.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PRETTY GREAT ADDRESS THAT HE GAVE.

ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND TEA THEY HAD A NEW TRUSTEE SUMMIT IN WHERE THEY INVITED NEW TRUSTEES AND ALSO SOME VETERAN TRUSTEES TO KIND OF COME SHARE A FEW THOUGHTS AROUND TRUSTEE WORK AND WHAT I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IF I, WHEN I FIRST BECAME A TRUSTEE, I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

THEY ALSO TALKED ABOUT SOME FINANCIAL PIECES WITH SCHOOL FINANCE.

AND THAT WAS PRETTY WELL ATTENDED BY TRUSTEES ALL OVER THE STATE.

ALSO ATTENDED SUMMER GRADUATION, LIKE MISS DAPHNE.

STANLEY SAID, IT'S REALLY REMARKABLE THE WORK THAT THESE STUDENTS PUT IN AND THE STAFF AND TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS WORKING WITH THEM TO GET THEM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT HARD WORK, AND I KNOW THAT THEY APPRECIATE THAT AS WELL.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE GATSBY CELEBRATION. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY COOL TO SEE THEM CELEBRATING OR STARTING TO CELEBRATE THE 25TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

[00:50:01]

MISS GRIFFIN AND HER HUSBAND WERE ALSO FOUNDERS OF GATSBY, I THINK.

ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL MISS CAROL WASHINGTON. I THINK THAT'S MONTGOMERY.

I'M SORRY. CAROL MONTGOMERY WERE ALSO FOUNDERS OF GATSBY, SO I WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE THAT HOME HOMES FOR HEROES PRESENTATION AND THEN THAT BE THE SEEDING MONEY TO GO TOWARDS MISS OR DOCTOR DOCTOR BROWN.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S IN HERE. I SEE HER. THERE SHE GO.

DOCTOR GRADY BROWN'S ENDOWMENT. THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL.

AND THEN I ALSO ATTENDED THE TYRESE MAXEY PROCLAMATION PRESENTATION.

IT WAS A, A GREAT EVENT. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS REALLY COOL THAT WE WERE CELEBRATING TYRESE MAXEY AS A STUDENT ATHLETE HERE IN GARLAND.

I SAW THAT HIS MOM CAME UP AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW GREAT OF A STUDENT HE WAS.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY COOL. BUT WHEN HE HAD HIS WORDS, I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE THAT HE CELEBRATED AND ACKNOWLEDGED HIS TEAMMATES AND HE CALLED THEM HIS BROTHERS. AND SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT FULL CIRCLE MOMENT TO HAVE THEM BE A PART OF THAT RECOGNITION AND CELEBRATION.

AND SO ALSO JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SORT OF ECHO SOME OF YOUR REMARKS, MR. JOHNSON. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DIFFERENT MEETING FOR MANY OF US.

I THINK ON DIFFERENT LEVELS, WE'RE PROCESSING MISS GRIFFIN'S DEPARTURE.

AND THE FACT THAT SHE'S NOT SITTING HERE WITH US THAT'S REALLY, REALLY HEAVY.

BUT I THINK AS SAD IN THIS MOMENT THAT I AM AND JUST KIND OF GOING THROUGH A WAVE OF EMOTIONS FROM EXTREME SADNESS TO JUST VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE IN THIS ROLE AND LEARN FROM HER GROW IN THIS ROLE.

IT'S I'M JUST EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. LEAVES A HUGE VOID IN THE WORLD.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANY QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SHE CAN BE REPLACED.

THAT'S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE. IF YOU KNOW MISS GRIFFIN, YOU KNOW HOW SHE IS AND WHO SHE IS.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WITH I'M HOPING THAT WE AS A DISTRICT AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE IN A SPECIAL WAY. I'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST ASK YOU GUYS TO KEEP HER SON, RUBEN LIFTED IN PRAYER.

AS WELL AS HER ENTIRE FAMILY. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT THIS MOMENT FEELS FOR THEM.

AND JUST KEEP THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE IN PRAYER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE FACING, NOT ONLY HERE IN GARLAND ISD, BUT IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW MISS GRIFFIN WOULD WANT US TO CONTINUE TO GET THE WORK DONE.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF TIMES THAT I HEAR HER VOICE RINGING IN MY EAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND I'M LIKE, YES, MA'AM.

AND SO WITH THAT, I'LL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU, MISTER JOHNSON.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IT IS A DIFFERENT MEETING, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

AND TO ECHO MISTER SELDERS COMMENTS, WE ARE IN THE.

WE ARE PLANNING A MORE FORMAL CELEBRATION OF MISS GRIFFIN'S LIFE.

FROM A DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE, I KNOW THE FAMILY WILL DO SOMETHING ON THEIR OWN AS WELL, BUT SHE'S BEEN PART OF OUR FAMILY FOR THREE DECADES, AND SO WE WILL ALSO HOST SOMETHING WHERE THIS ALL JUST HAPPENED.

WE DON'T. MOST PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME, I KNOW THEY'RE ASKING DOCTOR LOPEZ NOTHING IS SET YET.

WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOGETHER.

BUT WE WILL. WE WILL AND IT WILL BE, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL BE SOMETHING BEFITTING OF THE PERSONALITY.

THAT WAS LINDA GRIFFIN, WHICH WAS TOO BIG TO CONTAIN IN THIS ROOM, I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE BIGGEST THING THAT SHE OFFERED ME WHENEVER I CAME ON IS I WALKED THROUGH THOSE DOORS RIGHT OVER THERE.

AND SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO MEET ME AFTER I WAS THERE ON THAT NIGHT.

AND THE FIRST THING SHE DID WAS SHE GRABBED MY KIDS BECAUSE THEY CAME HERE FOR MY SWEARING IN AND SHE TOOK THEM IN TO FEED HIM. THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING SHE DID, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT SHE WAS. SHE WAS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT KIDS.

AND THEN SHE ASKED ME, SHE WAS LIKE, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS? AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, YES, MA'AM. AND SHE WAS LIKE, WELL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A FEW MONTHS AND SEE IF YOU STILL DO.

BUT SHE WAS JOKING. SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE. AND WHENEVER I DID MY FIRST TENURE AS BOARD PRESIDENT, SHE WAS MY VICE PRESIDENT. AND YOU CAN ASK DOCTOR LOPEZ, SHE, SHE CORRECTED ME AND, AND CAUGHT ME IN ERRORS MULTIPLE TIMES AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO

[00:55:03]

28 YEARS, I USED TO JOKE THAT BILL CLINTON WAS THE PRESIDENT WHEN SHE BECAME ON THE BOARD, AND SHE WAS LIKE, YEAH. BUT YEAH, SO YOU CAN'T DO THE JOB AS LONG AS SHE DID IT WITHOUT HAVING KIDS. SO CENTRAL TO YOUR HEART, AND THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS HERE FOR ALL THE TIME.

AND SO ALL OF US, WE'VE ALL REFLECTED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND REFLECT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, BUT WE'RE ALL BETTER OFF FOR HAVING KNOWN HER.

WE'RE ALL BETTER. THE DISTRICT IS BETTER OFF FOR HAVING HAD HER HERE.

AND LIKE I SAID, AND HER LEGACY IS GOING TO BE ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BUT HER LEGACY IS IN ALL THE KIDS I FACTORED IT IN. I DID SOME ROUGH MATH IN MY HEAD. SHE IS OVERSEEING GRADUATION SINCE 1998.

THAT'S ANYWHERE FROM 6 AND 6 HIGH SCHOOLS IN 1998 TO 7.

AND THEN WE ADDED AN 8TH GRADUATION SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.

I FIGURED SHE'S PROBABLY SEEN 300 GRADUATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF TIME, AVERAGING ROUGHLY ABOUT 550 KIDS PER GRADUATION.

YOU CAN START TO THINK HOW MANY STUDENTS SHE SAW WALK THROUGH THOSE DOORS AT MOODY COLISEUM AND THEN AT THE CULWELL CENTER.

GOING ON OFF TO LIFE. AND SHE PLAYED A ROLE IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF KIDS THAT CAME THROUGH.

AND THAT'S A LEGACY THAT'S GOING TO LAST AS LONG AS THERE IS A GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE ALL GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING SHE DID.

AND AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE A CELEBRATION OF THAT LIFE AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME.

DOCTOR LOPEZ, DO YOU HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT?

[V.B. Superintendent's Report]

KIDS ARE OFTEN LEARNING. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE STRONGEST STARTS WE'VE HAD.

WE, WE HAVE A LOT OF SYSTEMS. THE CULTURE IS FOCUSED ON STUDENTS.

WE'RE NEVER CLAIMING TO BE PERFECT, BUT THE DIFFERENCES, WE'RE STRIVING FOR PERFECTION.

WE'RE NOT JUST STRIVING FOR MEDIOCRITY. WE ARE SO ECSTATIC ABOUT BEING PRETTY MUCH THE 4TH BEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN DALLAS COUNTY AND THE NUMBER 1 HIGH POVERTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.

BUT WE WANT THAT, NUMBER ONE, MARK. AND WE KNOW THAT BRILLIANCE ISN'T DEFINED BY ZIP CODE.

SO WE DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE 0 ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS IN YOUR DISTRICT.

WE'RE COMING AND FEEL THIS COMING. WHAT'S PRETTY COOL? WE JUST GOT RECENTLY NOTIFIED THAT NETFLIX IS GOING TO COME IN AND FILM OUR THURSDAY NIGHT GAME HERE AT WILLIAMS STADIUM.

NAAMAN WILL BE PLAYING THAT GAME. THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING THE FOOTAGE FOR SOME B ROLL WHENEVER THEY DO NFL GAMES.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO INCORPORATE SOME HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHENEVER THEY'RE DOING THEIR NEXT NETFLIX NFL, I GUESS. AND THEY CHOSE NAAMAN TO DO IT OUT OF ALL THESE SCHOOLS IN TEXAS, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OTHER SCHOOLS, BUT ON THURSDAY THEY WILL BE THERE. SO IF YOU WANT A CHANCE TO BE ON CAMERA, YOU CAN'T BE ON CAMERA IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE GAME.

SO, YOU KNOW EXERCISE YOUR CHOICE TO BE THERE AND CHEER WEAR GREEN.

WE'RE PLAYING A TEAM FROM OUT OF OUT OF OUR AREA.

SO IT'LL BE A NICE FIRST GAME. ALSO, WE'RE GOING TO BE OPENING 2 NEW MACS AS MENTIONED EARLIER MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

MONDAY 31ST IS GOING TO BE ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT ONE LOOKS VERY CLOSE. IT'S ALMOST THERE.

MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT IT'LL BE THERE BECAUSE WE JUST PUT THAT DEADLINE AND WE SAID, MAKE IT HAPPEN, LIKE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN MAGICALLY. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS STILL NEEDED TO BE DONE.

WE'RE HOPING THEY'LL BE DONE AND WE NEED BIGGER PRAYERS FOR SACHSE.

THERE'S A LOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR SACHSE TO BE DONE ON THAT TUESDAY.

BEING TOTALLY UP FRONT YOU ALL, BUT WE NEED THOSE KIDS IN THOSE FACILITIES.

IT'S FOR THEM, AND WE'RE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE PROTECTED FROM THIS RELENTLESS HEAT THAT WE HAVE IN NORTH TEXAS.

I DO WANT TO GIVE TO TALK ABOUT 2 LINDA'S IN MY LIFE.

THE 1ST ONE IS MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, LINDA. WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY.

SO WHILE I'M HERE [APPLAUSE] JUST TO LET HER KNOW THAT I JUST WANT TO LET HER KNOW I LOVE HER.

I'M THINKING OF HER, AND HAPPY 25TH. BUT THE OTHER LINDA.

LINDA GRIFFIN SHE WAS ON BOARD. THE BOARD THAT BROUGHT ME IN IN 2018.

AND I, I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYBODY HAS STORIES TO TALK ABOUT HER IMPACT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS I MARVELED ABOUT AND I'M GOING TO MISS ABOUT IS I ALWAYS VIEWED HER AS, AS A TYPE OF HISTORIAN. SHE COULD CAPTIVATE THE HISTORY OF NOT ONLY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT THE STATE OF TEXAS, WHERE WE'RE AT, WHERE WE'RE HEADING, AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO AND NOT TO DO TO FALL BACKWARDS,

[01:00:01]

BUT IF YOU REALLY KNEW HER, SHE BROUGHT IN ALL PERSPECTIVES TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD WAS LEARNING IN OUR DISTRICT AND THAT WE WOULD BE THAT EXEMPLAR, THAT WE WOULD BE THAT LIGHTHOUSE AND. WHILE SHE WOULD ALWAYS GIVE HER INSIGHTS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVED IS WE COULD HAVE A 2 WAY CONVERSATION AND REALLY GET DEEP WITHOUT WHAT I FELT WITH WITHOUT JUDGMENT. AND WHEN THAT WOULD HAPPEN, I HONESTLY FELT THAT THERE WAS A PARTNERSHIP THERE.

THERE WAS A TRUE, GENUINE RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER THAT WE COULD GET TO SOME DEEP, DEEP ISSUES AND REALIZE WE'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE ALL WORLD'S PROBLEMS IN ONE NIGHT.

BUT THE MORE WE HAVE THESE DEEP CONVERSATIONS, THE MORE THAT WE WE ATTACK IT, THE BETTER OUR DISTRICT WILL BE.

WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE AT DISTRICT OF THE YEAR.

A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE ALL ALL 7 OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE HAVE UNIFIED.

AND THAT INCLUDES LINDA GRIFFIN. AND SO WE ARE GOING TO BE HONORING HER LEGACY TO GIVE YOURSELF SO MUCH.

I MEAN, YOU ALL YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE BOARD MEMBERS GIVE YOU.

EVERYBODY JUST SEES THEM AND THINKS IT'S LIKE A GLORIOUS THING TO DO AND TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S WORK. THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

YOU ALL ARE ABSOLUTELY UNDER. CORRECT. WE'RE UNDER FIRE LEFT AND RIGHT CONSTANTLY.

AND AND THE THING IS, IF EVERYBODY KNEW THE BIGGER PICTURE AND HOW WE'RE HANDLING THINGS, THEY WOULD MARVEL ON HOW THIS TEAM COMES TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL BOARD. AND 1 OF THE THINGS I WANT TO REITERATE IS WHEN YOU GIVE 30 YEARS OF THE BOARD CLOSE TO THAT MAN, THAT'S REMARKABLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY WANTING TO DO IT, IT'S YOU GOT TO GET ELECTED TO GO BACK INTO THAT CHAIR TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

RIGHT. AND THE LONGER YOU'RE IN, THE HARDER IT IS BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WELL, WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS ISSUE? AND WHERE ARE YOU ON THAT ISSUE? AND, AND, AND THEY ALREADY KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

AND SO, SO YOUR HISTORY HELPS, BUT IT ALSO CAN HURT.

AND SHE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, AND I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT SHE COULD HAVE RUN FOR 20 MORE TERMS AND SHE WOULD HAVE DONE IT.

I AM A PERSON OF FAITH. I AM A BELIEVER. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T GRIEVE.

AND SO ALL OF US WILL BE GRIEVING IN OUR OWN WAY AND JUST UNDERSTAND, JUST HAVE PATIENCE WITH US.

ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT. MR. SELDERS, LET'S PRAY. PRAY FOR THE FAMILY.

LET'S PRAY FOR THE DISTRICT. ALWAYS PRAY FOR THE DISTRICT, AND LET'S ENSURE THAT WE STAY UNIFIED AND FOCUSED ON STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET'S MOVE ON TO.

MISS DIANA KASPER. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

TRUSTEES AND DOCTOR LOPEZ. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, PARTS AND REPAIR SERVICES.

NUMBER 345- 27-02. THIS AWARD CONSOLIDATES 2 PREVIOUSLY SEPARATE CONTRACTS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT PURCHASES, INSTRUMENT CLEANING, MAINTENANCE PARTS AND REPAIR SERVICES INTO A SINGLE CONTRACT WITH THE DISTRICT'S EXISTING VENDOR.

THE TABLE BELOW PROVIDES A HISTORY OF THE CONTRACTS AND SHOWS HOW THEY HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED.

THE $2.7 MILLION NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE MAXIMUM CONTRACT AUTHORITY AND DOES NOT REFLECT A NEW OR ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURE OF THAT AMOUNT.

FINE ARTS PLANNED ANNUAL EXPENDITURES REMAIN APPROXIMATELY $2.1 MILLION AND ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH EXISTING APPROVED BUDGETS, INCLUDING THE BOARD APPROVED 10 YEAR INSTRUMENT REPLACEMENT PLAN.

THE ADDITIONAL CONTRACT CAPACITY PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR CAMPUS FUNDED PURCHASES, CLEANING AND REPAIRS, AND UNEXPECTED COST INCREASES WITHOUT REQUIRING THE DISTRICT TO RETURN TO THE BOARD SOLELY TO INCREASE CONTRACT AUTHORITY.

ALL EXPENDITURES REMAIN SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE APPROVED BUDGETS.

A BREAKDOWN OF THE ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURES INCLUDED WITHIN THIS CONTRACT IS SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING TABLE.

THIS IS A NEW AWARD REPLACEMENT YIELDING FROM A COOPERATIVE PURCHASE CONTRACT WITH A CONTRACT TERM OF 1 YEAR AND 3 ANNUAL RENEWAL OPTIONS.

FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE IS NOT TO EXCEED $2.7 MILLION FROM GENERAL FUND 199.

WE'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. BOARD.

ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OH, MISS STANLEY.

AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THIS, BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION.

SO DO I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO REPAIR THEM JUST FROM REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR? BUT DO WE EVER HAVE INSTANCES WHERE THEY'RE MISUSED? AND DO WE HOLD ANYBODY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT AS FAR AS OUR STUDENTS? SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO WITH OUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES? ABSOLUTELY. YES. AND EVERYBODY SIGNS A CONTRACT, YOU KNOW, AND SO THE STUDENTS ARE HELD TO A HIGH DEGREE TO MAKE SURE THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR INSTRUMENT. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, 90 99.9% OF IT.

IF IF THERE'S ANY DAMAGE, IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WEAR AND TEAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS AN ISSUE ALL THE ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THESE CHARTS ARE SOMETHING THAT HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATED IN THE BUDGET. SO IT'S WITHIN THE BUDGET BUDGETED ITEMS, CORRECT? RIGHT. THAT'S REALLY MORE FOR HIM. YES, SIR. OH SORRY ABOUT THAT.

YES. OKAY. ALRIGHT THEN. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING? MR. MILLER? YEAH, I WAS I DIDN'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION. THAT'S WHAT I'M CALLING ON YOU.

THANK YOU. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE INCREASE IN CONTRACT.

345-27-02. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, PARTS AND REPAIR SERVICES AS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD TONIGHT.

SECOND. ON A MOTION BY MR. MILLER AND A SECOND BY MR. GLICK. I'LL OPEN THE VOTE ON THIS MATTER. CLOSE THE VOTE.
