>> HI. GOOD EVENING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
I MET DAMIAN DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF THE COVID PANDEMIC VOLUNTEERING AT A PPE DISTRIBUTION AT OJEDA MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AT THE TIME, DAMIAN WAS A DEL VALLE ISD SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE, HAVING BEEN APPOINTED BY THE BOARD TO FILL A VACANT SEAT.
WHEN CAMPAIGN SEASON BEGAN, I WITNESSED HIM RUN A TRUE GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN AND WIN THAT SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION WITH THE SUPPORT AND VOTES FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY.
LEARNING ABOUT DAMIAN'S LIVED EXPERIENCE IN DEL VALLE, HIS PASSION FOR EQUITY, AND HIS VISION FOR MAKING DV A BETTER PLACE FOR STUDENTS THAN IT WAS FOR HIM WAS INSPIRING.
AFTER EARNING HIS SEAT, HE TIRELESSLY ADVOCATED FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF, NOT ONLY WHILE ON THE DAIS, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT HIS WORK, PERSONAL AND PHILANTHROPIC LIFE.
THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT DAMIAN HAS FOSTERED THROUGH HIS SERVANT LEADERSHIP HAS DIRECTLY IMPACTED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLABORATIONS AND RESOURCES TO BE INTRODUCED TO DEL VALLE ISD THAT POSITIVELY AFFECT STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC, DAMIAN HELPED TO GET OVER 10,000 MASKS DONATED TO THE DISTRICT.
HE HAS CONNECTED DV TO HALF HELEN SERVICES, HELPED PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF LAPTOPS TO STUDENTS.
HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CON MI MADRE HAS ALLOWED FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TO RECEIVE PROGRAMMING AND SCHOLARSHIPS.
DAMIAN WAS ELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY, IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEL VALLE ISD STUDENT BODY, AND CONSISTENTLY SHOWS UP AND SPEAKS OUT FOR THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THAT HE SERVES.
HIS ABILITY TO CONNECT DEL VALLE ISD TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND RESOURCES THAT ARE TRULY NEEDED FOR STUDENTS TO SUCCEED IS ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE.
I IMPLORE YOU TO APPOINT DAMIAN FOR TRUSTEE SMD 2 TONIGHT, AND ALLOW HIM TO CONTINUE SERVING THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES OF DEL VALLE.
THE STUDENTS NEED HIM, THE DISTRICT NEEDS HIM, AND THE COMMUNITY HAS CONTINUED TO SHOW THAT THEY WANT HIM TO BE THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE ASHER BROCKMAN SPEAKING ON SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICT 2.
>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I'M HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU ALL REGARDING SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICT 2.
IS IMPORTANT THAT THE DECISION REGARDING A POSSIBLE APPOINTMENT OF A BOARD MEMBER OF SMD 2 TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE OPINIONS OF THE RESIDENTS OF MONTOPOLIS AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
IN 2020, THE VOTERS OF SMD 2 ELECTED DAMIAN BECAUSE
[00:05:02]
OF HIS DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT TO THE STUDENTS OF HIS RESPECTIVE DISTRICT.THEREFORE, THE REINSTATEMENT OF DAMIAN'S POSITION WOULD SUFFICIENTLY REFLECT THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION AND BEST REPRESENT THE CONSTITUENTS OF SMD 2.
I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE INTEGRITY AND RESPECT THAT YOU ALL HAVE FOR THE ELECTORAL PROCESS AS EACH OF YOU WERE VOTED IN BY YOUR OWN CONSTITUENTS.
I ASK THAT EACH OF YOU, REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS, VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE 1,106 REGISTERED VOTERS THAT TOOK THEIR TIME TO VOTE FOR DAMIAN ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020 RATHER THAN APPOINTING AN INDIVIDUAL WHO I FEEL WON'T TRULY REFLECT THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND POLITICAL POSITIONS OF SMD 2.
SMD 2 SERVES A GREAT NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY IT'S IMPERATIVE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH AN APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WILL PERFORM THE DUTIES OF A BOARD MEMBER AND UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF DAMIAN PANTOJA FOR SMD 2.
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO THE SUCCESS OF DEL VALLE ISD.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE BOARD'S DECISION VERY SHORTLY. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] NEXT UP, WE HAVE CYNTHIA ALAN WILLIAMS SPEAKING ON SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICT 2 AS WELL.
>> GOOD EVENING, SCHOOL BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
MY NAME IS CYNTHIA ALAN WILLIAMS. I AM A MEMBER OF SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICT 2 AND I WAS ONE OF THE VOTING MEMBERS WHO ELECTED DAMIAN BACK IN 2020.
WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED THIS PAST YEAR, IT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS STRESS ON ME AND MY FAMILY NOT BEING REPRESENTED BY THE DISTRICT SINCE JUNE 20TH WHEN THE BOARD ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE SEAT WAS VACANT AS OF MARCH 14TH.
SINCE THEN MY DISTRICT HAS NOT HAD REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD.
VOTING THINGS THAT YOU HAVE VOTED FOR, WE DID NOT HAVE REPRESENTATION.
ACCORDING TO TAC, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE APPOINTED BY THE 180TH DAY OF VACANCY.
WE'RE AROUND DAY 300, 180 DAYS WAS IN SEPTEMBER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE TONIGHT, BUT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL TRUST IN THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM AND SELECT DAMIAN ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE VOTED FOR.
AS A REPRESENTATIVE, A PERSON WHO GREW UP IN SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICT 2, I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE GIVE US BACK OUR TRUSTEE WHO SPEAKS ON OUR BEHALF, WHO DONATES SUPPLIES TO STUDENTS THAT ARE IN OUR DISTRICT, WHO HELPS OUT.
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO'S INVOLVED IN THE DISTRICT, IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST AS A BOARD MEMBER, BUT BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER BEING A BOARD MEMBER WHO CONTINUES TO BE INVOLVED.
WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE WHO HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FROM THE DISTRICT IN THESE PAST THREE YEARS.
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO IS STILL BEEN INVOLVED AND WHO STILL HELPS OUR COMMUNITY.
ANY OTHER CHOICE WOULD BE GOING AGAINST THE VOTERS.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE AMINA, SPEAKING ON THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL.
>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS AND I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
I AM A SCHOOL COUNSELOR AT DVHS, AND I'M REPRESENTING MYSELF TODAY.
I AM HERE AS A SCHOOL COUNSELOR WITH ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN MENTAL HEALTH.
I WANT TO SPEAK REGARDING THE PROPOSED SILVER HIGH SCHOOL THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED TOMORROW.
SINCE IT WILL BE DISCUSSED MORE IN THE WORKSHOP TOMORROW, I WANTED TO SHARE SOME QUESTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL CLARITY AND SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE PLAN AND LOGISTICS OF THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL.
FIRST, I THINK TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE EXPERTISE OF OUR LCDS OR LICENSED CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY COUNSELORS AT THE DVHS AND THE OC WILL BE GREAT AS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO CONSULT AND COLLABORATE WITH.
THEY ALSO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH THEIR STUDENTS EVERY DAY AND HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS MOTIVATING AND SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE RECOVERY, AND AS WELL AS PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.
[00:10:01]
THEY ALSO HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN RECOVERY PROGRAMS OUTSIDE OF EDUCATION.THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, I THINK THE MORE EXPERTS WE HAVE THAT WE'RE COLLABORATING WITH, THE BETTER.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT EVIDENCE BASED INTERVENTION CURRICULUM WILL BE USED AND HOW WE WILL MEASURE ITS EFFICACY FOR OUR STUDENTS.
THEN ALSO HOW CAN WE PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE BOTH THE ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION AND THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION.
SOME OTHER THINGS, I HOPE WE CAN CONSIDER STAFFING THE HIGH SCHOOL, HOW WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SERVICES LIKE INCLUSION SUPPORT AND LANGUAGE SUPPORT FOR OUR SHELTERED AND NEWCOMER STUDENTS.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE WILL BE A LIMITED TARGETED CAPACITY FOR THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL AND A HIGH VOLUME OF STUDENTS THAT WOULD NEED THESE SERVICES AND THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO USE THESE SERVICES.
>> HOW WILL WE BE DETERMINING IN AN ETHICAL WAY, WHO WILL ENROLL AT THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL AND WHO WILL NOT ENROLL? FOR EXAMPLE, IS IT SEVERITY, IS IT THE TYPE OF DRUG, IS IT THE NUMBER OF OFFENSES, CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER? WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER AND TO COME FROM AN ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE? THEN WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME OF THE ENROLLMENT? HOW WILL WE DETERMINE THAT, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE OTHER STUDENTS WAITING.
CAN WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE TO REFER STUDENTS WHO NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AFTER THEIR TIME AT THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL? HOW CAN WE ALSO SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPAND OUR SERVICES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL CURRENTLY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE 3,500 OR SO STUDENTS ENROLLED THERE IN A PREVENTATIVE WAY AS WELL.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO ALSO EXPAND THOSE SERVICES SIMULTANEOUSLY? HOPEFULLY, WE CAN CONSIDER AND ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS [OVERLAPPING] AND COME UP THE PLAN.
>> THANK YOU. FINALLY, WE HAVE MS. CHRISTAL ROCHA WHO IS THANK YOU IN MOVING FORWARD.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. THAT MEANS LIKE HERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
SORRY. [LAUGHTER] IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
LET ME OPEN UP MY NOTES, GIVE ME A SECOND.
MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, STAFF AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS PRESENT, THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME AND ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
I HOPE EVERYONE HERE IS HERE WITH OPEN HEARTS AND OPEN MINDS.
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INDULGE ME WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION TODAY, A QUICK PARTICIPATION.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR KEYS, CAN YOU GET THOSE OUT? NO, I'M NOT STEALING YOUR CAR, I PROMISE.
IF YOU HAVE KEYS, ANY KEYS, YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR STUDENT, YOUR ID.
ANYBODY HAVE THEIR KEYS? IF YOU HAD TO RENDER YOUR CAR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? THANK YOU.
THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE YOUR KEYS AND THOSE OF YOU DON'T PRETEND THAT YOU DO, AND YOU HAVE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF KEYS ON YOUR KEYCHAIN, CORRECT? ONE OPENS YOUR HOUSE, ONE OPENS YOUR CAR, ONE OPENS THE RESTROOM TO YOUR STAFF BATHROOM.
ALL THE KEYS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR KEYCHAIN OPEN DIFFERENT THINGS.
THE REASON I SAID THAT I WANT YOU TO COME WITH OPEN MINDS AND OPEN HEARTS IS BECAUSE WHAT KEY ARE YOU GOING TO USE TO UNLOCK THE VOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO TONIGHT? I'M COMING TODAY AS MYSELF, AND I JUST HOPE THAT YOU OPEN THE RIGHT KEY, BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THE BEST.
OUR DISTRICT HAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE ARE PROUD OF RIGHT NOW, AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT TREND.
BUT I ALSO WANT YOU TO THINK, WHAT KEY ARE YOU GOING TO CREATE TO OPEN UP MORE OPPORTUNITIES, NOT JUST FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT FOR OUR STAFF.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT HOUSING FOR TEACHERS, FOR STAFF, WOW.
YOU OPENED THAT KEY FOR ME. I WAS VERY HAPPY AND VERY PROUD.
WITH THE SILVER HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WHO'S AND WHAT'S, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO CREATE THAT KEY, TO OPEN THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS THAT REALLY NEED IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL? I'M BREATHING INTO THE MIC, SORRY.
THE OTHER THING IS THAT I WANT YOU TO THINK IS IF I HAD A KEY THAT WOULD OPEN EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, WHETHER METAPHORICALLY OR [INAUDIBLE] WHAT WOULD YOU USE THAT KEY TO DO? I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IS THAT I WILL USE THAT KEY TO OPEN THAT CLOSET OF SUPPLIES, THAT CLOSET OF EXTRA TIME, THAT CLOSET OF HOPE AND UNDERSTANDING.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN A TIME WHERE EVERYBODY'S IN A TIME CRUNCH TO GET AT THINGS RIGHT BECAUSE STAR IS AROUND THE CORNER.
>> BUT THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE HERE DON'T IMPACT JUST STAR, DON'T IMPACT JUST TODAY, YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR OR YOU'RE GOING TO LOCK IT PERMANENTLY WITH THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE, AND I HOPE THAT MOVING FORWARD, WE KEEP THAT TRANSPARENCY THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING AND THAT WE KEEP IN MIND, WHY ARE WE HERE? I'M NOT HERE BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO LIKE ME OR REMEMBER ME.
OH, SHE'S THE ONE WITH THE KEYS.
I WANT YOU TO BE HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST FOR THE STUDENTS, BECAUSE THE STAFF WILL FOLLOW.
[00:15:01]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HEARING ME OUT. [APPLAUSE]>> THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENT.
