Jun 16, 2026 Board Meetings

NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO COMMITTEE. UPDATES BY BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DO I HAVE ANY UPDATES? I JUST HAVE A QUICK ONE. I ATTENDED A MEETING.

[VII.A. Committee Updates by Board Trustees]

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCO.

THANK YOU. I ATTENDED A MEETING OF THE.

OF THE PUT TOGETHER BY THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION THIS PAST MONDAY. REALLY GREAT MEETING.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS THERE AND SO WAS THE THEIR PRESIDENT AND A FEW FOLKS FROM THE AIRPORT AND OTHER BUSINESSES AROUND AND THEY'RE STARTING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AROUND AROUND HOW WE CAN MORE FOLKS OR MORE STUDENTS ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AS THEY EITHER LOOK FOR JOBS AFTER THEY POTENTIALLY AFTER THEY GRADUATE. THAT'S GOT TO BE WORKED OUT STILL.

BUT ESPECIALLY DURING OUR FOR OUR CTE AND KIDS THAT ARE DOING INTERNSHIPS WHILE IN SCHOOL.

SO SHOUT OUT TO OUR EDUCATION FOUNDATION DOING GOOD STUFF.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER UPDATES? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE SIERRA.

YEAH, LAST TIME WE MET WE HAD PROPOSED THE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION PLAN AS HAVING A FALL SESSION. SOME LISTENING SESSIONS IN THE FALL, SOME LISTENING SESSIONS MID YEAR AND THEN A SURVEY END OF YEAR. I BELIEVE WE WERE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK FOR APPROVAL BY THE BOARD THIS MEETING.

DID WE HAVE IT ON THERE? YEAH, RIGHT. IT'S IN THERE.

THEY WERE IN THE PACKET.

IT IS. IT'S FURTHER DOWN AFTER THE CONSENT AGENDA. ANY OTHER UPDATES? OKAY. WITH THAT

[VIII. Consent Agenda]

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR IS THERE DO I SEE HERE A MOTION? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES SECRETARY WEGNER.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

SECRETARY MAKES THE MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? TRUSTEE PANTOJA MAKES A SECOND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT

[IX.A. Discuss, Consider and Possibly Act on Establishing a Maintenance and ]

ON OUR AGENDA IS TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND POSSIBLY ACT ON ESTABLISHING OPERATIONS COMMITTEE. AND I'M GOING TO HAND THIS OVER TO TRUSTEE FRANCO BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE THAT REQUESTED THIS. WE PUT ON THE AGENDA. TRUSTEE FRANCO MADE SOME NOTES IN MY.

IN MY NOTES APP. YEAH, THIS IS, THIS IS ESPECIALLY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, GOING TO. TO THE SLI

[00:15:02]

CONFERENCE AND LEARNING SOME MORE ABOUT COMMITTEES AND OPERATIONS AND ESPECIALLY FACILITIES AS WELL. SO DEL VALLE ISDS FACILITIES, LAND AND TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT BUILDINGS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC INVESTMENT THAT REQUIRES ONGOING PLANNING AND STEWARDSHIP AS TEA PLACES GREATER. AND I LEARNED THIS AT THE CONFERENCE AS TEA PLACES GREATER EMPHASIS ON FACILITY UTILIZATION THROUGH NEW REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, CAPACITY USAGE AND FACILITY DATA. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE BOARD HAS A STRUCTURED WAY TO REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION. THIS COMMITTEE WOULD PROVIDE A DEDICATED FORUM FOR DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, INFRASTRUCTURE, CAMPUS CAPACITY AND LONG RANGE PLANNING. THE COMMITTEE WOULD NOT MANAGE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS BUT WOULD HELP ENSURE THE BOARD REMAINS FOCUSED ABOUT WHAT THE CONDITION, UTILIZATION AND FUTURE NEEDS OF THE PHYSICAL ASSETS THAT WE CAN MAKE WELL INFORMED DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. LONG STORY SHORT, I THINK IT'S A LARGE PART OF OUR BUDGET AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST QUARTERLY, I WOULD SAY SOME INSIGHT AS A COMMITTEE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON SO WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO THE GROUP AND HAVE A MORE DETAILED AND MORE ROBUST CONVERSATION ON IT. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH A LARGE PORTION OF OUR BUDGET FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR TAXPAYERS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CALL FOR A MOTION. DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

TRUSTEE FRANCO MAKES THE MOTION TO APPROVE AN OPERATIONS COMMITTEE. DOES ANYBODY? DO I HAVE A SECOND? VICE PRESIDENT CISNERO MAKES A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSING? TWO, FIVE. AND ALL THOSE ABSTAINING. OKAY. MOTION FAILS. TWO, FOUR, FIVE AGAINST AND ONE ABSTAINING.

NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS

[IX.B. Discuss, Consider and Possibly Act on the LSG Committee]

TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND POSSIBLY ACT ON THE LSG COMMITTEE.

SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER. WE DON'T HAVE LSG, WE NEED TO DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE COMMITTEE OR DISSOLVE THE COMMITTEE. DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES SECRETARY WAGNER.

AT THIS TIME. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO DISSOLVE THE LSG COMMITTEE.

I DID ASK.

OKAY, A SECOND AND THEN IT'S OKAY.

DO I HAVE A SECOND TO DISSOLVE THE COMMITTEE? TRUSTEE WOODY MAKES A SECOND AND WE CAN OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

THANK YOU. SO WITH THIS BEING AN ACTION ITEM TO VOTE IF IT'S DISSOLVED, WHAT'S THE RESOLUTION? WHAT'S THE PLAN THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE FOR THAT? THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE UP TO THE BOARD AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT WORKING TOGETHER.

WE WOULD HAVE TO BE WORKING TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT WHAT'S THE PLAN THAT YOU'RE BRINGING FORWARD FOR THIS PROPOSAL TONIGHT? WE'RE NOT BRINGING A PLAN.

WE'VE GOT SOME PRESENTATIONS LATER ON HOW WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH GOVERNANCE.

THIS IS JUST WHETHER WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE COMMITTEE OR NOT.

THAT IS THE VOTE.

OKAY, SO WE DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION ON WHY WE'RE GOING TO DISSOLVE THE COMMITTEE TONIGHT OR CONTINUE.

THAT IS CORRECT. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCOIS.

I WOULD, GIVEN THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE WITH LSG LATER ON TODAY, THIS SEEMS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER TO DISSOLVE IT BEFORE WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION.

COULD WE MOVE THIS TO THAT.

CAN WE TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING AFTER.

I CAN TABLE IT AFTER WE HAVE THE GOVERNANCE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

CONVERSATION. SO YOU MIGHT HAVE MOTION TO TABLE IT UNTIL AFTER.

NO COMMENT.

I WOULD MOVE THAT WE TABLE IT UNTIL AFTER WE DISCUSS THE LSG.

WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE ALREADY, SO. IS THAT CORRECT, SARAH? SO WE ALREADY HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO DISSOLVE THE COMMITTEE.

THEY WANT. OKAY, SO I HAVE A

[00:20:08]

MOTION, I GUESS, TO CONSENT TO MOVE THE ACTION ITEM TILL.

OKAY, SO SECRETARY WAGNER, DO YOU CONSENT TO THAT MOTION? I WILL.

OKAY, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TABLE IT UNTIL AFTER WE'VE HAD THE GOVERNANCE PRESENTATIONS THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. AND NEXT WE HAVE. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE SIERRA.

DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO CONSIDER THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMITTEE BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING TO HAVE THESE LISTENING SESSIONS? I THINK THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT. I MEAN, IT'S ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. WE'VE ADOPTED THESE GUARDRAILS. RIGHT. AND COMMUNICATION. TWO WAY COMMUNICATION IS ALREADY ONE OF THE GUARDRAILS THAT WE ADOPTED.

SO WE WOULD STILL.

SO WE'RE SIGNED OFF ON THIS RECOMMENDATION? YES.

OKAY, GREAT. YES.

NICK, THE CHAIR. I'M SORRY, DR. BAILEY. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

THIS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR YOU. IF THE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION THAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED, IF THAT PASSES, ARE WE GOING TO BE CONSIDERING A WORKSHOP OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE DISCUSS WHEN WE PASS IT? WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THAT IN THE FUTURE, HOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THAT. ONCE WE HAVE A GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE, THEN WE'LL HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS. ALL RIGHT, DR.

[IX.C. Goals 2 and 3: Early Math - Goal Progress Monitoring ]

BAILEY, YOU'RE UP WITH GOALS TWO AND THREE, EARLY MATH GOAL PROGRESS MONITOR.

ALL RIGHTY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT GUADIAN, SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

GUTIERREZ, MEMBERS OF BOARD COMMUNITY GATHERED THIS EVENING. TONIGHT WE ARE REVIEWING OUR END OF THE YEAR PROGRESS GOALS FOR BOARD GOALS TWO AND THREE FOCUSING ON EARLY MATH AND SEVENTH GRADE MATHEMATICS. AS WE DIVE INTO THE DATA, OUR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY STUDENT OUTCOMES DON'T CHANGE UNTIL ADULT BEHAVIORS CHANGE.

OUR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY, EXCUSE ME, REMAINS AS STUDENT OUTCOMES DON'T CHANGE UNTIL ADULT BEHAVIORS CHANGE.

WE'RE LOOKING CLOSELY AT HOW OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK IMPACTS STUDENT GROWTH. AS A REMINDER, OUR LONG TERM TARGETS BY THE END OF 2030. BY AUGUST 2030. EXCUSE ME. WE AIM TO MOVE THIRD GRADE MATH PROFICIENCY FROM 27% TO 60% BY 2030 AND SEVENTH GRADE MATH PROFICIENCY FROM 6% TO 40% BY AUGUST OF 2030. LOOKING AT OUR THIRD GRADE NWEA MAP END OF THE YEAR DATA, THE DISTRICT FINISHED AT 29.8% PROFICIENCY, JUST 2.2% SHY OF OUR 32% ANNUAL TARGET. WE ARE EFFECTIVELY ON TRACK. FIVE OF OUR CAMPUSES, COLLINS, GILBERT, HILLCREST, SMITH AND POPHAM COMPLETELY EXCEEDED THEIR TARGET GROWTH. WE DO SEE SOME GAPS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES.

IN A BACKUP, WE DO GAPS IN PERFORMANCE AMONGST OUR STUDENTS GROUPS WITH OUR STUDENTS RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES BELOW THE TARGET. WE ALSO SEE GAPS IN OUR IN OUR CAMPUSES.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT BEATTY ELEMENTARY IN PARTICULAR, THEY FINISHED 24% BELOW THE ANNUAL TARGET FOR THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL YEAR.

AT THIRD GRADE MATHEMATICS, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES, KINDERGARTEN IS OUR CRITICAL SYSTEMIC GAP. WE FINISHED 11% BELOW THE TARGET, DROPPING 23.2 23.6% AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO 17.7% AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THIS DECLINE SIGNALS AN URGENT NEED TO REVAMP EARLY NUMBER SENSE AND FOUNDATIONAL ROUTINES.

FIRST GRADE IS NARROWING, NARROWING THE TRAIL. WE MISSED A TARGET BY JUST 1.9%, 16 STUDENTS AWAY FROM THE TARGET.

BUT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT WORK.

BUT WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO.

BUT WE'RE ON TRACK TO HIT THAT GOAL. AND THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR SECOND GRADE, SECOND GRADE IS A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT. COMPLETELY MEETING AND EXCEEDING TARGET BY 1.7%.

AND AGAIN, ALL OF OUR STUDENT GROUPS MOVING AND PROGRESSING TOWARDS THAT GOAL. ALTHOUGH WE DO STILL, AS YOU LOOK ACROSS BOTH KINDER FIRST AND SECOND GRADE AND THIRD GRADE, YOU DO SEE GAPS IN PERFORMANCE

[00:25:01]

AMONGST OUR STUDENTS. SO WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS? AS WE LOOK AT OUR EARLY MATHEMATICS DATA, SO THIRD AND FIRST GRADE ARE LESS THAN 3% FROM THE ANNUAL TARGETS.

AGAIN, WE HAVE SOME CAMPUSES THAT ARE EXCEEDING THE TARGET GROWTH. SECOND GRADE EXCEEDED THE YEAR'S TARGET GROWTH.

FIRST THROUGH THIRD GRADES GREW FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO END OF THE YEAR BY 3%. IF WE LOOK AT THEM AS A COMPREHENSIVE GROUP AND THEN AGAIN WE HAVE STRONG COMMITMENTS TO OUR LITERACY RESULTS.

CONTINUING. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT BULLET, SCRATCH THAT BULLET BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. SO AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR US CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A GOAL FOR KINDERGARTEN. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW IS THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON OUR EARLY NUMERACY ROUTINES AND FLUENCY AT THE KINDERGARTEN LEVEL. WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN CONSISTENCY AND INSTRUCTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION AND STUDENT GROWTH ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES. WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN OUR LEADERSHIP, OUR LEADERSHIP CAPACITY AND DATA DRIVEN INSTRUCTION AND PLC PRACTICES WITH CLEAR PROTOCOLS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY ON BUILDING THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND WE HAVE OUR MTSS COORDINATOR HERE IS ENSURING THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT INTERVENTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO REFINE AND CLARIFY DISTRICT CURRICULUM AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS AND OUR OUR CAMPUS, OUR COORDINATOR TEAMS HAVE BEEN WORKING FEVERISHLY TO UPDATE OUR CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS AND GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS GOING INTO THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT THE SUMMER WORK IS FOR US. WE'RE ESTABLISHING DISTRICT WIDE PROCESSES FOR INTERNALIZING HQIM AND THAT'S A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH BIG ROCK EDUCATION SERVICES. WE JUST HAD A MEETING WITH THEM TODAY TO STRENGTHEN OUR MATH INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK WHICH WILL HELP US SUPPORT THIS WORK. WE'RE ALSO STRENGTHENING TEACHERS AND STUDENTS CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF KEY MATH CONCEPTS. AND THEN LEVERAGING THE TEXAS MATHEMATIC ACADEMIES WHICH WILL LAUNCH IN THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE. MOVING ON TO SEVENTH GRADE MATHEMATICS.

SEVENTH GRADERS SUCCESSFULLY MET AND EXCEEDED THE ANNUAL TARGET OF 12% FINISHING AT 14.5% PROFICIENCY.

DEMOGRAPHICALLY, WE MET TARGETS ACROSS ALMOST ALL STUDENT GROUPS. THOUGH SPECIAL EDUCATION REMAINS AN AREA REQUIRING TARGETED INTERVENTION. DEL VALLE MIDDLE SCHOOL LED THE CHARGE, EXCEEDING THE TARGET BY 6.1%.

OJEDA MIDDLE SCHOOL ALSO MET THE TARGET. AND DALEY MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS RIGHT ON THE CUSP, NARROWLY MISSING THE TARGET BY 0.1%. AND AGAIN ONE STUDENT AND I THINK THAT THAT WAS A FLUKE. I THINK THAT ONE STUDENT ACTUALLY PROBABLY MET THE TARGET BUT GOING TO PRESENT THE DATA AS IT. AND SO THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT GOAL 3.1, LOOKING AT OUR PROGRESS OF OUR FOURTH GRADERS. SO FOURTH GRADE HAD A MASSIVE YEAR EXCEEDING THEIR TARGET BY A STAGGERING 15.7% AND AGAIN MAKING PROGRESS ACROSS ALL STUDENT GROUPS AGAIN. AND WE CONTINUE TO POINT TO SPECIAL EDUCATION AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE PRESENT DISAGGREGATED DATA THE WAY. SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S AN AREA OF GROWTH FOR US AS A DISTRICT. AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT FIFTH GRADE. FIFTH GRADE ALSO MET AND EXCEEDED THEIR ANNUAL TARGET BY 5%. AND AGAIN, AS WE DISAGGREGATE STUDENT GROUPS, WE STILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS WORK THAT WE MUST CONTINUE TO DO EVEN WHEN WE SEE OR DON'T SEE GROWTH. AND THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT SIXTH GRADE.

SIXTH GRADE. SIXTH GRADE DIDN'T QUITE HIT THE ANNUAL TARGET.

WE'RE ABOUT 3.8% BELOW THE ANNUAL TARGET. BUT THEY DID DEMONSTRATE STEADY GROWTH FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO END OF THE YEAR, MOVING FROM 12.5% TO 13.8%. EXCUSE ME. AND EFFECTIVELY ON TRACK TO HIT OUR 2030, 2028 GOAL TARGET. SO LOOKING AT OUR STRENGTH, 7TH GRADE MATH EXCEEDED THE YEAR'S TARGET GROWTH. 4TH GRADE MATH EXCEEDED THE YEAR'S TARGET GROWTH BY 15.7%. 5TH GRADE MATH EXCEEDED THE YEAR'S TARGET GROWTH, AND 6TH GRADE MATH INCREASED FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. SO WE'RE SEEING STEADY PROGRESS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE STRATEGIES THAT WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON.

WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR NEW MATH CURRICULUM THIS YEAR, WE'RE SEEING THE GROWTH IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION AND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. SO AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR US IS IMPROVE ADVANCED PROGRAMMING PLACEMENT TO ALIGN INSTRUCTION WITH READINESS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS RECOGNIZE IS ENSURING THAT WE ARE EFFECTIVELY IDENTIFYING THE STUDENTS WHO NEED TO BE IN ADVANCED ACADEMIC PROGRAMMING AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM AND ALSO WITH THEIR STUDENTS, BUT THEN ALSO WITH THE TEACHERS. MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE EFFECTIVELY NOT JUST SUPPORTING STUDENTS, BUT IDENTIFYING STUDENTS WHO SHOULD BE IN THAT PATHWAY. ESTABLISH A TARGETED CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK THAT ALIGNS INSTRUCTION WITH THE NEEDS OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING WITH OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEAM. AND SO AS I'VE SHARED WITH YOU AND AS MS. ROBERTS SHARED WITH YOU DURING THE SPECIAL EDUCATION

[00:30:01]

PRESENTATION, WE DON'T WORK IN SILOS. WE WORK AS A TEAM BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING MEANS THAT SPECIAL EDUCATION CAN'T BE AN ADD ON. IT NEEDS TO BE A PART OF OUR CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS.

AND SO THAT IS WORK THAT'S AGAIN HAPPENING OVER THE COURSE OF THIS SUMMER. SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THE CONSISTENCY OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION AND STUDENT GROWTH ACROSS CAMPUSES. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN LEADERSHIP CAPACITY. AS YOU SEE THAT IT'S CONTINUING THE WORK THAT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED.

BUILDING STRONGER SECONDARY MATH MTSS FRAMEWORK. ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE GOING INTO THIS UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE RECOGNIZE IS THAT WE COULD STRENGTHEN OUR INTERVENTION. SO WE'VE MADE A CHANGE TO THE ENRICHMENT BLOCK. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A 30 MINUTE STANDALONE BLOCK AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND ALSO AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT THAT WAS EFFECTIVELY MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. SO WE'VE MADE THOSE CHANGES GOING INTO THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

INCREASING OUR INSTRUCTIONAL BLOCKS BUT THEN ALSO PROVIDING MORE TARGETED FOCUS INTERVENTIONS FOR OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS.

NOT JUST IN MATH, BUT ALSO IN READING AS WELL TOO.

IMPLEMENT SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC SKILL GAPS.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO BUILD OUR TEACHERS ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO MEET OUR STUDENTS NEEDS WITHIN THE CLASSROOM THROUGH TARGETED SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION AND THEN CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH A PROCESS FOR INTERNALIZING HQIM. SO AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR TO ADDRESS THE GAPS THAT WE SAW DURING THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR SCHOOL YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON TWO MAIN SPECIFIC AREAS OF COURSE, CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND ALSO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'RE COMPLETELY REVISING OUR MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM GUIDES TO PROVIDE A MORE STRUCTURED FRAMEWORK FOR CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT, FLUENCY AND ALSO INTERVENTION.

AND THEN WE ARE BUILDING SPECIALIZED CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS TO EXPLICITLY ALIGN TO THE NEEDS AGAIN OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING GAPS IN PROGRESS. AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE TARGETED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE EFFECTIVELY ADDRESSING THE GAPS THAT WE'RE SEEING AT KINDERGARTEN WITH NUMERICAL FLUENCY. SO WE'RE LAUNCHING NUMERICAL FLUENCY CLINICS FOR OUR K THROUGH 2 TEACHERS TO HELP SUPPORT THEIR GROWTH AND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE EFFECTIVELY CLOSING THE GAPS THAT KINDER IN FIRST GRADE, IN OUR PRIMARY GRADES SO THAT WE CAN SEE THOSE GAPS CLOSE AT SEVENTH GRADE.

AND AS I'VE SHARED WITH YOU ALL BEFORE, PART OF WHY WE STRUGGLE AS A SYSTEM AND NOT JUST AS A SYSTEM AS A STATE AT SEVENTH GRADE MATH IS BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT NUMERICALLY FLUENT IN THEIR PRACTICES AND THEIR THINKING WHEN IT COMES TO MATHEMATICS BY THE TIME. SO BY THE TIME THEY LEAVE ELEMENTARY, ALL OF THE TRICKS AND TOOLS THAT THEY LEARNED IN ELEMENTARY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING, THEY SHOW UP AT THE SEVENTH GRADE LEVEL. SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK ON FIXING THAT IN K THROUGH 2 SO THAT IT DOESN'T CONTINUE TO SHOW UP AT THE SEVENTH GRADE LEVEL.

AND THEN OF COURSE WE'RE LAUNCHING A TEXT BASED MATHEMATICS ACADEMIES AGAIN THAT'S SIMILAR TO THE WHAT WE FOUND THE READING ACADEMIES.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE AS A, AS A DISTRICT AND ALSO AS A STATE, WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS THOSE PRE PANDEMIC LEVELS AND LITERACY. AND SO THE TEXAS MATH ACADEMIES ARE BEING LAUNCHED TO BE ABLE TO HELP US CLOSE THE GAP AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN MATHEMATICS AS WELL, TOO.

AND SO OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO SHIFT TEACHER CAPACITY FROM BUILDING DAILY MATERIALS AS WE WORK THROUGH SOME OF THIS WORK, TO REALLY INTERNALIZE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW IS THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS. BUT NOT ALL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS ARE CURRICULUM WRITERS, AND THEY DON'T DESIGN CURRICULUM. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T WANT OUR TEACHERS SPENDING ALL OF THEIR TIME ON IS TRYING TO FIND CURRICULUM TO TEACH OR DEVELOP A SCOPE AND SEQUENCE.

THAT'S THE WORK OF THE CURRICULUM COORDINATORS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S TURNKEY, THAT THEY CAN INTERNALIZE AND DEVELOP EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES IN THE CLASSROOM TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE INSTRUCTION. SO THAT'S WHAT OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. AND THEN AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO. WE'VE ALREADY LAUNCHED A WORK WITH BIG ROCK EDUCATION SERVICES. OUR PRINCIPALS ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT WORK AND THE SUPPORT THAT THEY'RE GETTING. WE BUILT A MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK THIS YEAR AS WE LAUNCHED A NEW CURRICULUM IN THIS SCHOOL YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING THAT BACK NOT JUST TO OUR CAMPUS LEADERS, BUT ALSO TO THE TEACHERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN THE BOARD FOR FEEDBACK AS WE CONTINUE TO REFINE OUR MATHEMATICS FRAMEWORK OVER THE COURSE OF THE THIS SCHOOL YEAR. AND THEN AGAIN, AS I'VE SHARED, WE'RE PROVIDING MORE CLEAR GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT TO OUR TEACHERS IN THE CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS SO THAT AGAIN, THEY DON'T BECOME SOMETHING CUMBERSOME THAT TEACHERS HAVE TO WORK THROUGH, BUT THAT THEY'RE VERY CLEAR AND EXPLICIT AS THEY ARE WORKING AND PLANNING FOR INSTRUCTION. AND I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME.

BOARD, ANY QUESTIONS. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE LEDESMA.

WOODY, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS. I NOTICED THAT WE HAVE A HIGH FOCUS ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, WHICH. COOL. TOTALLY GET THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS.

ARE WE ALSO LOOKING INTO THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT OUR STUDENTS CAN DO, LIKE

[00:35:01]

BREAKTHROUGH AND WHATNOT, TO HELP THEM ALSO CLOSE THAT GAP? THAT'S ONE QUESTION.

THE NEXT QUESTION IS, ARE WE LETTING PARENTS KNOW AND EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF MATH IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HOW IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IT IS IF YOU START, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS BEFORE YOU LEAVE 8TH GRADE TO HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN FROM HIGH SCHOOL YOU CAN GET COLLEGE CREDITS AND JUST SHOWING THEM THAT PATHWAY. ARE WE STARTING TO IMPLEMENT THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT OF CONCERNS FOR PARENTS.

LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW WE COULD DO THAT. I DIDN'T KNOW MY KID COULD DO THAT. AND I THINK THAT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT, HEY, IT STARTS SIXTH GRADE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT THEM TO START ELEMENTARY, BUT SIXTH GRADE IS WHERE YOU HAVE TO LOCK IN AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON YOUR GRADES AND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

ABSOLUTELY. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT. SO TO ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH BREAKTHROUGH AND MANY OF EUROPE AND MANY OF OUR OTHER COLLEGE ACCESS PARTNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ALIGNMENT THERE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SHARED BEFORE IS ENSURE THAT WE'RE EFFECTIVELY REACHING ALL OF THE STUDENTS. AND WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, ONE STUDENT ACCESSING BREAKTHROUGH AND GEAR UP AND ALL OF THE OTHER PROGRAMMING THAT WE CAN EXPAND IT. THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE HAVE MULTIPLE PARTNERS, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MULTIPLE STUDENTS. SO TO ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION, YES, BUILDING THE PATHWAYS AND MAKING SURE THAT PARENTS ARE INFORMED, I THINK THAT THAT CONTINUES TO BE AN AREA AND A SPACE THAT WE CAN GROW IN. OPPORTUNITY KNOWLEDGE IS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THE REASON. PART OF THE REASON WHY WE. WE WANT TO OR THAT WE ARE LAUNCHING AVID IS BECAUSE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY KNOWLEDGE GAP THAT WE KNOW THAT EXIST STARTING, YOU KNOW, FROM THE TIME THAT OUR STUDENTS ENTER, OUR PARENTS DON'T FEEL FULLY INFORMED. AND WE HEAR THAT. WE HEAR THAT FROM THE DEL VALLE COMMUNITY.

WE HEAR THAT IN THE SUPERINTENDENT COFFEES.

WE HEAR THAT IN ALL OF THE LISTENING SESSIONS.

THAT.

THAT CONTINUES TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR US. SO IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR US. WE DO. WE DID HAVE PARENT INFORMATION SESSIONS AS WE WERE LAUNCHING THE COURSE SELECTION SHEETS THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT PARENTS HAD ACCESS AND THAT THEY FELT FULLY INFORMED.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALSO TRAINING OUR COUNSELORS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COUNSEL ARE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS AS THEY'RE MAKING SCHEDULES. THE STUDENTS ENTER SIXTH GRADE AND OF COURSE, AS THEY TRANSITION ON TO NINTH GRADE. SO IT CONTINUES TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR US AND NOT JUST IN MATHEMATICS, BUT IN OTHER AREAS IN WHICH STUDENTS CAN GET. WE EXPANDED SPANISH CLASSES AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL GOING INTO THIS UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, TOO, SO THAT STUDENTS CAN ALSO START ON THAT PATHWAY AS WELL, TOO, SO THEY CAN START EARNING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS BECAUSE IT ALSO FREES UP THEIR SCHEDULE FOR OTHER THINGS. SO, YES, YOU'RE WELCOME.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE PANTOJA.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I WANT TO.

I'M GONNA MAKE A POSITIVE COMMENT FROM YOUR KINDERGARTEN DATA THAT YOU PRESENTED TO US, BECAUSE I HAVE A KINDERGARTNER AT HOME. I HELP AND I'VE SEEN THE TRANSITION FROM AUGUST TO TODAY. AND I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY, WITH MY PARENTS AND I HEARD MY NIECE SAY MY NUMBER AND MY NAME AND I GO IN SPANISH.

I GO, WHAT IS SHE DOING? SHE'S READING IT OFF THE PHONE.

A FIVE YEAR OLD READ IT IN SPANISH AND JUST SAID IT PERFECTLY IN SPANISH. I'M LIKE, THAT'S AMAZING. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU TO THE TEAM, TO THE STAFF AND TO THE TEACHERS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT. WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK BETTER. A LOT OF OUR TEAM IS HERE TODAY THAT HELPS US TO DEVELOP THESE FRAMEWORKS AND HELP US TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. AND THEY'RE NOT JUST BUILDING AND DOING THE WORK OVER THE SUMMER, BUT THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ALONGSIDE TEACHERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT DURING THE SCHOOL AS WELL TOO.

SO IT'S NOT JUST, OF COURSE, JUST, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT JUST ME, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY, IT'S A TEAM EFFORT. AND SO I JUST WANT TO ALSO GIVE KUDOS TO OUR HERE TODAY TOO.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THIS SIDE OF THE BIAS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

THANK YOU, DR. BAILEY. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CONCERNS AND SOME QUESTIONS.

SO THE FIRST CONCERN IS THAT WE DID NOT MEET OUR STUDENT OUTCOME GOAL TWO. AND MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT WE ACTUALLY DECREASED IN PERCENTAGE FROM THE START OF THE YEAR. SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THE INPUTS THAT DID NOT WORK AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL? I THINK INPUTS THAT ARE NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NECESSARILY NOT WORKING. I THINK THAT IT'S CONTINUING REFINEMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW, ESPECIALLY ANYTIME YOU'RE IMPLEMENTING SOMETHING NEW, THERE'S SOMETIMES AN IMPLEMENTATION DIP THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE THERE'S A LEARNING GAP THAT'S HAPPENING WITH EVERYBODY IN THE SYSTEM, NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST FOR THE STUDENTS, BUT ALSO FOR THE TEACHERS, THE EDUCATORS, AND ALL OF US.

THERE'S ALWAYS AN IMPLEMENTATION DIPLOMA THAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU START TO SEE ACCELERATION AND GROWTH.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S NECESSARILY THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE CAN GET BETTER AT AND STRONGER AT. IS DEFINITELY THE IN THE MOMENT COACHING WITH THE TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM. AND OF COURSE THAT TAKES DEDICATED TIME, ATTENTION AND FOCUS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. IT ALSO

[00:40:01]

TAKES A MINDSET SHIFT FOR OUR EDUCATORS TOO, BECAUSE IT'S A SHIFT FOR THEM TO HAVE SOMEONE DOING ON THE SPOT COACHING WITH YOU IN THE MOMENT. AND SO THAT'S PART OF THE WORK THAT WE'LL BE DOING WITH BIG ROCK. EDUCATION SERVICES. SO IT ISN'T AS MUCH INPUTS THAT AREN'T WORKING AS MUCH AS WE NEED TO REFINE GET TIGHTER AND STRONGER AS SOME OF THE INPUTS THAT WE DO HAVE. I THINK THAT LOOKING AT OUR THIRD GRADE MATH GOALS OR JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE GAPS THAT WE SEE AND REALLY THAT ARE KIND OF CAUSING SOME OF IT, IS REALLY WHERE WE'VE ALSO SEEN SOME OF OUR TRANSITIONS ALSO IN LEADERSHIP. AND WHEN ANYTIME WE HAVE INSTABILITY IN ANY LEADERSHIP POSITION, WHAT TURNAROUND WORK SAYS IS THAT YOU START BACK AT YEAR ONE. AND SO PART OF WHERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE GAPS AND IT'S NOT HITTING NECESSARILY THE GOALS AND IT'S AN ASSUMPTION. IT'S JUST MY OWN. IT'S MY OWN ASSUMPTION IS THAT AT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES THAT ARE NOT HITTING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR GOAL TWO, IT'S ALSO WHERE WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME TRANSITIONS IN LEADERSHIP. AND SO AS WE CONTINUE TO STABILIZE THAT AND WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR LEADERS, ESPECIALLY OUR FIRST YEAR PRINCIPALS AND OUR SECOND YEAR PRINCIPALS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT GROWTH START TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR CAMPUSES WHERE WE'VE HAD PRINCIPALS THERE FOR THREE, FOUR, FIVE YEARS OR MORE, YOU SEE THAT GROWTH HAPPENING.

AND THERE'S FOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT DID NOT MEET THAT GOAL AS WELL. SO WE HAVE HORNSBY, DEL VALLE ELEMENTARY, CREEDMOOR AND BEATTY. BEATTY CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES.

WHAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSES IMPACTING THIS, IMPACTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AT THIS CAMPUS? I THINK IT'S THE STUDENT MOBILITY. YOU KNOW, ALL STUDENTS GO IN. WE DON'T HIDE ANY STUDENTS FROM THE DATA. SO I THINK IT'S THE MOBILITY AT BEATTY. AS I SHARED IN OUR LITERACY DATA A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BEATTY HAS THE HIGHEST MOBILITY RATE OF ANY CAMPUS IN THE DISTRICT. AS TRUSTEE FRANKEL POINTED OUT, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, IT ALSO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE CAMPUS AS WELL TOO, THERE'S OVER 30 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN REALLY AT ANY CAMPUS IN OUR DISTRICT THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE TRUE, ESPECIALLY ALSO AT BEATTY.

THERE'S ALSO THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT, THE TRANSITION AND LEADERSHIP ALSO TRANSITION TEACHERS AT THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS AS WELL TOO. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT.

OKAY, AND WHAT IS THE ACCELERATION STRATEGY GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR FOR THAT PARTICULAR.

SO WE MADE SOME CHANGES IN STAFFING AT BEATTY. SO WHEREAS WE MAY HAVE DECREASED IN INTERVENTION STAFFING AT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET TO A BALANCED BUDGET, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE. SO WE DIDN'T MAKE THE SAME AND ACTUALLY ADDED BACK INPUTS AT BEATTY IN TERMS OF INTERVENTION AND ALSO IN TERMS OF ADMINISTRATION, SO WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL THERE AT THAT CAMPUS AS WELL TOO.

AND FOR GOAL NUMBER THREE, WE DID MEET. SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM, TO EVERYONE, TO ALL OF OUR STAFF STILL, YET DAILY STILL HAS THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE. SO WHAT ARE THE INPUTS THAT DID NOT WORK AT THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS THIS YEAR? I THINK IT'S STAFFING. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN CHALLENGED BY, BUT IT'S, IT'S MORE OF A REGIONAL AND A STATE ISSUE, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE SECONDARY MATH TEACHERS IN EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM, CERTIFIED SECONDARY MATH TEACHERS IN EVERY CLASSROOM, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHERS IN EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM. SO ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT I KNOW WE'VE HAD AT DALY IS THAT IS THE CHALLENGE, IS THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE CERTIFIED TEACHER IN THOSE CLASSROOMS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. AND THEY HAVE HAD A CHANGE IN A TURNOVER IN STAFFING IN PARTICULAR AT THE SEVENTH GRADE MATH LEVEL THAT I KNOW HAS IMPACTED THE DATA.

AND WHAT IS OUR ACCELERATION STRATEGY FOR THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR? THAT WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHER IN THOSE CLASSROOMS. AND THE THING THAT I SHARE AND THAT WE SHARE AS A TEAM IS THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE INPUTS THAT WE HAVE, THEY ONLY WORK. THE PLAN ONLY WORKS IF WE CAN WORK THE PLAN AND THERE ISN'T A PROGRAM OR A QUICK FIX. THE TEACHER IS THE PROGRAM. THAT'S THE FIRST LAYER. AND SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A TEACHER IN EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND TO GROW. AND, AND SO THE ACCELERATION STRATEGY, THE FIRST LAYER OF THAT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A TEACHER IN EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM. AND WHAT I CAN SAY IS, AS OF TODAY, BECAUSE WAS JUST CHECKING, OUR STAFFING AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS IS THAT WE DO.

WE'RE FULLY STAFFED IN MATH AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL GOING INTO NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

FOR NOW.

OKAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. THANK YOU.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCOIS DR. BAILEY.

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS DATA IS ALWAYS. IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S REALITY.

BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF, A LOT OF GLOWS, A LOT OF PROGRESS WE'VE MADE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[00:45:01]

FOR YOUR HARD WORK AS ALWAYS AND TO ALL THE STAFF FOR THEIR HARD WORK. I DO SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS AS TRUSTEE CISNEROS WITH DALEY, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION AND YOUR INSIGHT INTO WHAT YOU THINK COULD WORK THERE. I DO HAVE A CONCERN. I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN AND WHATNOT OVER AT BEATTY ESPECIALLY, BUT I NOTICED ON GOAL TWO, BEATTY AND CREEDMORE BOTH DROPPED BETWEEN BEGINNING OF YEAR AND END OF YEAR. AND THAT WAS A MATH GOAL. GOAL TWO FOR MATH. WHAT IS. WHAT ARE WE.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENT THERE? WHAT DO WE LEARN BETWEEN BEGINNING OF YEAR AND OF YEAR INPUTS, THINGS THAT WE CAN CHANGE? I THINK IT'S STABILITY. I THINK IT'S STABILITY. AND STAFFING. I THINK IT'S STABILITY, COACHING, SUPPORTING, ENSURING THAT OUR PRINCIPALS ARE WORKING, ESPECIALLY WHERE WE SEE. I THINK IT'S GREATER TRACKING ON OUR LEAD MEASURES. SO ONE OF THE LEAD MEASURES THAT WE HAVE IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR BENCHMARK DATA, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DATA, AND THAT WE'RE BEING RESPONSIVE TO IT. AND SO WHEN WE THINK THROUGH SOME OF THE ACCELERATION THAT WE SEE AT OTHER CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY SEEING AT THOSE CAMPUSES, ONE, AGAIN, BASELINE IS PEOPLE. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT PEOPLE, SYSTEMS, AND RESOURCES. WE HAVE THE SYSTEMS, WE HAVE THE RESOURCES. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE ARE THERE AND THAT THE PEOPLE ARE DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING TO HELP SUPPORT.

AND SO WE'RE ALSO FOLLOWING ON THOSE LEAD MEASURES. SO IF OUR CFAR COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DATA IS TELLING US THAT THERE'S A STRUGGLE IN A CLASSROOM OR WITH A TEACHER OR WITH STUDENTS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS.

AND I GUESS YOU STARTED OFF WITH SAYING STABILITY, ENSURING THAT THE PEOPLE STAY IN PLACE, HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE EFFECTIVE. AS ALWAYS, WHAT CAN THE BOARD DO TO SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF BEATTY AND CREEDMOOR AND POTENTIALLY BEATTY? I THINK CONTINUE TO STAY FOCUSED ON, I THINK, THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE. I THINK FOR US TO CONTINUE TO STAY ALIGNED WITH OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND WITH YOU ALL AS A TEAM. AND AGAIN, LIKE I'VE SHARED, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT OUR LITERACY DATA A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IS THIS GIVES US GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION. YOU KNOW, OUR TEAM IS HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE INPUT, WHAT THE QUESTIONS ARE, AND WHAT WE CAN ALSO DO BETTER TO HELP SUPPORT OUR CAMPUSES, OUR TEAMS, AND OUR STUDENTS.

AND NOT ONLY DO WE ASK, AND WE JUST MET WITH PRINCIPALS LAST WEEK, AND WE ASKED THEM, YOU KNOW, LIKE, HEY, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY AS A DISTRICT. CAUSE THEY GET TO SEE THIS DATA, TOO. DO THESE DISTRICT PRIORITIES SEEM LIKE THIS? DO THESE STILL FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT PRIORITIES? AND IF NOT, THEN WHAT DO WE CHANGE? DO THESE STILL FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONAL PRIORITIES? AND IF NOT, THEN WHAT DO WE CHANGE? WHAT DO WE REFINE AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO GET BETTER AT? BECAUSE THAT INPUT IS WHAT HELPS US. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR PRINCIPALS DID SHARE WITH US IS THAT THEY FELT LIKE WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

RIGHT. WHAT THEY DON'T WANT IS FOR US TO COME IN AND SAY, NOPE, HERE, LET'S THROW ALL OF THIS OUT AND CHANGE. THEY KNOW THAT THERE HAS TO BE REFINEMENT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SHARE WITH US IS THAT THEY DO FEEL LIKE WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT THINGS. AND SO I THINK FOR ALL OF US, IT'S JUST CONTINUING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FOCUS, BUT THEN THAT WE TAKE THE FEEDBACK AND THAT WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIVE TO IT AS MUCH AS WE ALSO WANT OUR CAMPUS LEADERS TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BAILEY.

APPRECIATE IT.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES SECRETARY WAGNER.

THANK YOU, DR. BAILEY. DR.

GUTIERREZ, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR THE PROGRESS WE MADE IN YOUR FIRST YEAR, FIRST FULL YEAR OF BEING HERE. SO IT, OF COURSE WE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER. BUT BRINGING THIS IS AMAZING BECAUSE I'M THE ONE THAT SAID I WANT 100%. AND WHILE WE'RE NOT THERE, WE'RE GETTING THERE, AND IT'S FORWARD MOVEMENT. AND I AM GRATEFUL. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK.

THANKS FOR THE TEAMS THAT ARE HERE.

THANKS FOR EVERYBODY. SO THANK YOU.

I WANT TO BUILD ON THAT TO CELEBRATE THE. THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE GROWTH, WHICH IS REALLY INCREDIBLE. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT SORT OF THE. HOW DIFFICULT THE SIXTH GRADE TRANSITION IS. I MEAN, IT JUST DISRUPTS EVERYTHING.

AND CURRENTLY OUR KIDS GO FROM MANY ELEMENTARIES TO DIFFERENT MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

YOU MENTIONED, I KNOW WE'RE DOING AVID THIS YEAR. YOU MENTIONED SPANISH IS GOING TO BE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

SO WE DO. YES. SO WE DO OFFER SPANISH. SO.

AND I WAS JUST NOTICING, I MEAN, THE, THE GROUP THAT'S LAGGING ASIDE FROM THE, THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN SIXTH GRADE IS THE ENGLISH EMERGENT BILINGUAL AND THE HISPANIC STUDENTS. AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, IS THERE ANYTHING WORTH THINKING ABOUT ABOUT THE SUPPORT FOR THE BILINGUAL EDUCATION SIXTH GRADE? BECAUSE I KNOW THE TESTING SWITCHES. EVERYTHING SWITCHES REALLY FAST. I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT.

ABSOLUTELY. SO IT'S, IT'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WORKING ON, OBVIOUSLY, LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY. RIGHT.

BECAUSE ONCE WE. IT'S NOT JUST LEARNING, LIKE, OKAY, I'M A.

[00:50:01]

I'M AN EMERGING BILINGUAL STUDENT. I NEED TO LEARN OR GET PROFICIENT AT ENGLISH, READING, WRITING, SPEAKING. THERE'S ALSO THE ACADEMIC LANGUAGE COMPONENT THAT HAS TO COME WITH THAT.

RIGHT. AND SO WHICH. ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ACADEMIC LANGUAGE LEARNERS AT THAT POINT. AND SO THAT TRANSITION FROM FIFTH TO SIXTH GRADE DOES BECOME A BIT OF A CHALLENGE BECAUSE THEY DO LOSE A LOT OF THE LANGUAGE SUPPORT WHEN THEY. WHEN THEY TRANSITION OR THEY MATRICULATE THROUGH SIXTH GRADE. BECAUSE STUDENTS THAT COULD TEST IN SPANISH IN FIFTH GRADE, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE KIND OF PULLED THAT OUT FROM UNDER. NOT US, BUT THE STATE OF TEXAS DOES.

YOU CAN NO LONGER HAVE A TEST IN YOUR HERITAGE LANGUAGE, EVEN IF THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED.

AND SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AS THEY MOVE UP.

AND SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARE BECOMING PROFICIENT, BUT THEN ALSO THAT WE'RE BUILDING THAT ACADEMIC LANGUAGE IN BOTH LANGUAGES. BUT THEN ALSO THE INTERVENTIONS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST FOR THE CONTENT AREAS, WE ALSO NEED TO BE THINKING AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR INTERVENTIONS ARE ALSO RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF OUR EMERGING BILINGUAL STUDENTS, TOO. AND SO IT IS GOING TO BE ALSO BUILDING TEACHER CAPACITY IN THAT WAY AS WELL, TOO.

BECAUSE WHAT WE CAN'T DO IS JUST SAY WE'RE GOING TO PUT OUR EMERGING BILINGUAL STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM AND JUST HOPE THAT THEY LEARN ENGLISH. THEY ALSO NEED TO BE IN OUR GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS AS WELL TO LEARNING ACADEMIC RIGOR AND PIECES ALONGSIDE THEIR PEERS.

AND SO IT'S ALL OF THE SAME THINGS, BUT IT'S ALSO BEING MORE GRANULAR AND TARGETED, ESPECIALLY AS KIDS ARE MOVING FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE ALSO BUILDING THEIR LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AT AN EARLY AGE.

BUT THEN ALSO THAT WE'RE RESPONSIVE TO THAT WHEN THEY ENTER THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AS WELL TOO, BECAUSE SOME OF OUR STUDENTS DO COME THEIR FIRST YEAR IN US SCHOOLS SOMETIMES IS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE WOODY.

I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP TO WHAT VICE PRESIDENT CISNERO WAS SAYING WAS ABOUT THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE KIND OF BEHIND. WILL THEY BE PROVIDING SOME INFORMATION IN THEIR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR US? OKAY, PERFECT. ABSOLUTELY.

TRUSTEES, ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE WRIGHT HEYWOOD.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I JUST HAD A STATEMENT AND I DO WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THIS INFORMATION. I APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS ALLOWED OUR COMMUNITY TO BE FULLY ENGAGED. Y' ALL HAVE GIVEN MANY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS. AND EVEN AS THE BOARD, LIKE, I'VE NEVER SEEN THE BOARD AS BEING AS ACTIVE AND BEING ABLE TO BE AS INVOLVED WITH THE GROWTH OF OUR DISTRICT. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I REALLY APPRECIATE DR.

G. HE HAS BEEN AWESOME IN BEING TRANSPARENT WITH US, THE LEADERSHIP TEAM, OUR STAFF.

I'VE HEARD REALLY POSITIVE THINGS, EVEN FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARENTS, EVEN IN MY AREA THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ABLE TO GO INTO THE SCHOOLS, ASK QUESTIONS. THEY'RE BEING SHOWN DATA. THEY'RE BEING SHOWN THINGS THAT. AND I KNOW THAT WE GET STUCK ON DATA A LOT. AND I MEAN, YES, IT MEANS A LOT. IT TELLS US A LOT, BUT WHEN OUR KIDS ARE ABLE TO WALK INTO BUILDINGS AND FEEL SAFE AND BE FED AND HAVE A SAFE HAVEN, THAT WAY THEY CAN. THAT SPEAKS OF VOLUMES. SO I APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF Y'.

ALL. YOU ARE AWESOME.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, BOARD OR COMMENTS.

THAT DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SECRETARY WICKNER MAKES A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? TRUSTEE PANTOJA MAKES A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE AGAINST? MOTION PASSES 8 TO NEXT, WE NEED TO CONSIDER AN

[IX.D. Consider and Act on Budgets for 2026-2027]

ACT ON BUDGETS FOR 2026, 2027.

MS. EDGAR, GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

WE JUST HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING EARLIER THIS EVENING. THIS AGENDA IS FOR THE BUDGET ADOPTION. SO THE THREE BUDGETS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE ARE THE GENERAL OPERATING FUND, THE CHILD NUTRITION FUND, AND THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. THE BUDGET FOR EACH FUND IS PRESENTED AT THE FUNCTIONAL LEVEL AND DISPLAYED HERE ON THIS SLIDE, TOTALING 222.6 MILLION. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THIS FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING FOR THE BUDGET ADOPTION.

DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE LIZ MOWOODY.

ONCE THIS IS VOTED ON AND IF APPROVED, TO GO OUT FOR THE VADER. WHAT IS THE STRATEGY PLAN TO INFORM OUR COMMUNITY THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A POTENTIAL TAX INCREASE,

[00:55:03]

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A MINIMAL ONE.

BUT IT'S BASICALLY UP TO THEM TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE GIVE THIS 5%, 3% RAISE TO OUR STAFF.

YES, MA'. AM. AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ENGAGE A MARKETING FIRM THAT WILL HELP US GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND GET ALL OUR MESSAGING. WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING THAT TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, BUT YOU'LL HAVE INFORMATION ON THAT PRIOR TO. YOU SHOULD HAVE INFORMATION ON THAT PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

I DID SEE THAT OUR TEACHERS UNION. AND IF THEY'RE IN THE AUDIENCE, THANK YOU FOR ALREADY KIND OF PREPPING THE COMMUNITY ON IT. HAVE ALSO BEEN KIND OF SHARING THAT INFORMATION.

WILL THEY ALSO BE INVOLVED IN HELPING SPREAD THAT? BECAUSE I CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL OF IT COMING FROM THEM.

AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE.

BOARD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WITH THAT? DO I HAVE.

OH, I HAVE A MOTION FOR MOTION TO APPROVE FROM TRUSTEE PATOJA. DO I HAVE A SECOND? TRUSTEE WOODY MAKES A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

REAL QUICK. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. THE BOARD IS NOT APPROVING THE TAX RATE. WE ARE SENDING IT OUT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO VOTE ON IT.

OKAY, THAT'S CORRECT. AND THIS IS ACTUALLY I HAVE TO MAKE SURE LIKE BECAUSE I, I'VE SEEN A, OH, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT ON FACEBOOK THAT THE BOARD IS GOING TO RAISE OUR TAXES AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER BUDGET HEARING FOR THE TAX RATE. THIS IS JUST FOR THE BUDGET. AND WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE BECAUSE WE ARE APPROVING THE LOWER BUDGET. THE NO VADER BUDGET.

THE VADER PASSES WILL AMEND THE BUDGET UP AND WE ALREADY HAVE THE BOARD APPROVAL AND THE

[IX.E. Proposed Board of Trustees Meeting Dates for the 2026-2027 School Year]

COMPENSATION MANUAL TO DO THOSE COMPENSATION INCREASES. SO THAT'S LOCKED IN.

THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE THE PROPOSED BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING DATES FOR 2026, 2027, SCHOOL YEAR AND DR. G.

GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT GUADIAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR.

GUTIERREZ, THIS EVENING WE BRING TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL TWO OPTIONS.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST AT OUR LAST MEETING. OUR CURRENT OPTION OR CURRENT STRUCTURE IS THE TWO MEETINGS A MONTH. SO THAT IS OPTION ONE.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE SCHEDULE OF DATES THERE. AND THEN OUR SECOND OPTION AS PRESENTED LAST TIME IS TO HAVE THE ONE MEETING A MONTH AND YOU'VE GOT THE SCHEDULE THERE.

SO WITH THAT I WON'T GO THROUGH THE FULL PRESENTATION SINCE WE HEARD IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. ASK FOR THE VOTE TODAY.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE PANTOJA.

DR. CANTU, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW THAT WHEN IT COMES TO PURCHASING, THE DISTRICT CAN PURCHASE UNDER 49,000 OR THE THRESHOLD.

SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT I, WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED ON THIS BOARD IS THAT'S WHERE'S MY COMPUTER.

BUT WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED ON THIS BOARD IS FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT WE'LL GET A 3 MILLION DOLLAR ITEM THAT PUT BEFORE, RIGHT BEFORE POSTING.

AND IT REALLY JUST COMES OUT OF A NEED OF SOME SORT. AND THEN WE'RE HAVING TO FIGURE OUT THOSE FIVE DAYS, OKAY, WHAT'S THE NEED? WHY DO WE GET INTO WHERE DID IT COME FROM? AND SO FORTH. AND I WAS ONE, I WAS A PROPONENT FOR THE TWO MEETINGS BECAUSE THAT KEPT HAPPENING A LOT. SO SHOULD WE GO WITH THE ONE DAY? WHAT'S THE PROCESS THAT THE DISTRICT WILL DO IF THERE'S A LAST MINUTE, LIKE IT'S THE MONDAY BEFORE POSTING. BUT WE SAW THAT WE NEED A POST FOR, I'M SORRY, THERE'S A NEED OF LIKE X AMOUNT OF MILLION DOLLARS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE PRACTICE THAT WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS YEAR, WHICH IS SEVEN DAYS BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING. WE WILL SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD, GIVE OR TAKE ON THE DAYS WHERE WE ARE MISSING SOME, MAYBE A QUOTE OR WHATNOT, IT'S A DAY, BUT WE WILL ALWAYS AIM FOR THAT SEVEN DAYS BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING. WE WILL ALSO NOW WRITE, THE LAW SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO POST 72 HOURS OR NOT 72 HOURS ANYMORE. IT'S THREE BUSINESS DAYS RIGHT BEFORE. SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN PRACTICE. WHAT WE WILL ALSO DO IS WORK WITH AS A TEAM TO NOT CATCH ANYBODY OFF GUARD AND TRY TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA THAT'S GOING TO FORCE YOU TO MAKE A DECISION THAT DAY WITHOUT HAVING TALKED ABOUT IT.

OR A PREVIEW OF IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A BIG DOLLAR ITEM. SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUR PRACTICE, DR. CANTU AND I.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAID THIS LAST TIME THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS TOPIC WAS THAT IF WE ANTICIPATE A BIG TICKET ITEM THAT'S GONNA COME IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO OR THREE, WE WANNA GIVE YOU INFORMATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

[01:00:02]

THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATION OR POSSIBLY A VIRTUAL MEETING, JUST AS WE'VE DONE. WE WANT TO BE AS PROACTIVE AS POSSIBLE AND NOT SURPRISE YOU WITH ANYTHING LAST MINUTE OR SOMETHING. GIVE YOU SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T SEEN UNTIL YOU RECEIVE A BOARD PACKET. BOARD AGENDA.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE WOODY.

I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPERATIVE THAT THE BOARD REVIEW OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. AND IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SPECIFIC TO US AS A WHOLE, I KNOW THAT FOR ME, I'VE ALWAYS HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE LAST MINUTE AND WHATNOT AND APPROVING BUDGET ITEMS. SO I, I PREFER THAT WE WOULD HAVE LIKE AT LEAST A FIRST READ THE MONTH BEFORE IN THESE BIG BUDGETED ITEMS. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ADOPT AND WE LOOK AT IN OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND WE WILL BE LOOKING AT BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES LATER.

DURING OUR LAST MEETING, ED PROPOSED THE POSSIBILITY OF SCHEDULING SPECIFIC WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS A SCENT AND AGREEMENT ON THAT. SO I HAD HOPED THAT THAT WOULD BE HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WASN'T A CLEAR ENOUGH PROPOSAL OR IF WE THINK IN ADDITION TO THIS WE'LL ADD THOSE.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST A FEW WORKSHOPS. I MEAN BUDGET DATA REVIEW, BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.

LIKE THOSE ARE THREE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE PLANNING AND THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION.

LIKE WE SHOULD BE PLANNING FOR THOSE EVERY YEAR. AND THOSE MEETINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDE IN THIS CALENDAR TO SAY, I DON'T KNOW, ONCE A QUARTER.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TWO MEETINGS THAT MONTH SO THAT WE HAVE SPACE FOR SOME OF THOSE LONGER DISCUSSIONS THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING THAT IS.

AND WE HAVE HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS HAD WORKSHOPS REGARDING ALL THOSE THINGS, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY CONTINUE THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCO.

YEAH, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO NECESSARILY GOING TO THE ONE MEETING A MONTH. I ECHO TRUSTEE SIERRA'S SENTIMENT THAT THERE ARE SOME BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT AND PERHAPS SCHEDULE THOSE WORKSHOPS AHEAD OF TIME. AND TO THE EXTENT WHERE THERE'S EVEN BIGGER TICKET ITEMS, HAVE A WORKSHOP ON THOSE THINGS, LIKE WE DID THAT ONE TIME WITH THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT AND WHATNOT, I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AS BOARD MEMBERS, AS IS EXPECTED AND REQUIRED OF US WHEN WE SUBMIT QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME, WHAT WOULD BE BEST PRACTICES FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE TO GET RESPONSES, THOSE QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FULLY INFORMED AND CAN START DIGESTING THE INFORMATION.

I THINK THERE, THERE'S THREE CHANNELS THAT WE DO HUB, SO CONTINUE TO USE THE BOARD HUB TO SUBMIT THE QUESTIONS.

THERE'S THE BOARD LIAISONS, SO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH EACH OF THE BOARD LIAISONS. AND THEN I THINK THE OTHER IS ANY ONE ON ONE MEETINGS THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND.

OR WITH THE PRESIDENT TO BRING THAT UP. AND SO I THINK THOSE THREE CHANNELS ARE STILL YOUR BEST, YOUR, YOUR BEST WAY. SO THE HUB, THE LIAISONS, AND THEN ANY ONE ON ONE CONVERSATION.

I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS MORE AROUND TIMING, WHEN WE COULD EXPECT RESPONSES SO WE CAN BE FULLY PREPARED AND START DIGESTING THE INFORMATION.

SO IF THERE'S A QUESTION, I MEAN, IT DEPENDS, RIGHT. SO IF IT'S SUBMITTED, THE BOARD HUB, WE ASK THAT YOU HAVE THAT WE HAVE UP TO 10 DAYS. I KNOW LIKE FOR THE LAST ONE THAT WAS SUBMITTED, THERE WAS AN AGENDA THAT'S COMING UP. AND SO WE TRIED TO ANSWER THAT ONE WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS IN THE ONE ON ONE MEETING. I MEAN, THAT'S. YOU CAN POSE IT THERE.

THE INFORMATION IS READILY AVAILABLE. IT'LL COME THAT TIME. AND THEN FOR THE, FOR THE LIAISONS, RIGHT.

IN THE CONVERSATION WITH THE LIAISON. TYPICALLY WHEN A LIAISON HAS A CONVERSATION, IF, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, I'M HAVING THE CONVERSATION WITH MS. LEDESMA WOODY AND IT'S A BUDGET CONVERSATION, I'LL SAY, I DON'T HAVE THAT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT LET ME RUN ACROSS THE HALLWAY AND LET ME, YOU KNOW, HAVE A PHONE CALL WITH DINA AND THEN I'LL CONNECT WITH DINA.

GOTCHA. I GUESS JUST ONE COMMENT ON THAT FOR THE BOARD PRESIDENT. IF I HEARD DR. CANTU CORRECTLY, THE BOARD HUB, THEY HAVE UP TO 10 DAYS TO RESPOND TO THOSE. BUT IF WE GET OUR QUESTIONS SEVEN DAYS AHEAD OF TIME, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THAT WOULD PUT US IN A MATHEMATICAL BIND FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE. SO WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THAT AS WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AS WELL.

WELL, WHEN IT'S USUALLY MY UNDERSTANDING, IF IT'S A QUESTION ON THE AGENDA THAT'S COMING UP, WE WOULD REACH OUT TO OUR BOARD LIAISONS. OKAY.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE PANTOJA.

MADAM PRESIDENT, TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE WITH TRUSTEE SIERRAS, COULD WE MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO ONE

[01:05:02]

OF THESE OPTIONS? LIKE, HOW DO I DO THAT? SO IF I WANTED TO GO WITH ONE MEETING A MONTH RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN'T SAY WORKSHOPS, BUT WITH AN AMENDMENT OF. WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT MAYBE A QUARTERLY WORKSHOP OR A WORKSHOP, AT LEAST SOMETHING OF SOME SORT.

OKAY. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE'LL.

YEAH, I THINK THAT THIS.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, THIS IS FOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETINGS.

AND THEN IF WE WANT TO HAVE A BOARD PART OF OUR BOARD CALENDAR, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A BOARD CALENDAR, WE CAN ADD THOSE WORKSHOPS TO OUR BOARD CALENDAR, AND I THINK THAT'S THE MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS. IS THAT OKAY WITH EVERYONE? I MEAN, I. WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE, SO THAT'S WORK.

WE CAN BRING THAT UP WHENEVER WE WANT TO BRING THAT UP, SO WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WHENEVER, RIGHT? YEAH. BECAUSE IF WE ADD THEM TO THE BOARD CALENDAR, AT LEAST EVERYBODY WILL KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THEM AND BE PREPARED AND READY. RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ONE OF THE OPTIONS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE OPTION, THE ONE MEET, ONE MEETING A MONTH OPTION.

OKAY. TRUSTEE FRANCO MAKES A MOTION FOR ONE MEETING A MONTH. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND THERE.

TRUSTEE WOODY BEING SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? GREAT.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. OKAY, THEN WHERE ARE WE AT? RIGHT HERE. OKAY, NEXT

[IX.F. Superintendent Guardrail Progress Measures]

UP, WE HAVE SUPERINTENDENT GUARDRAIL PROGRESS MEASURES.

DR. CANTU, YOU'RE STILL UP.

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WE ALSO BROUGHT THESE BEFORE THE BOARD FOR CONVERSATION AND INFORMATION.

TODAY WE ASK FOR YOU ALL TO APPROVE THE GUARDRAILS AS PRESENTED. YOU HAVE THE PRESENTATION WITH EACH OF THE OPMS TIED TO THE GUARDRAILS. AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE AN EXHIBIT THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER TO READ. IF YOU PREFER TO LOOK AT THE EXHIBIT. WE PRESENT THESE FOR YOU TODAY FOR ACTION AS PRESENTED.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON. LET'S SEE. THE OPM IS AT 1.1.

OPM 1.1.

YES. SO I'M SHOWING IN A SPAN OF FIVE YEARS, WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT A 1% INCREASE FROM 89 TO 90% IN A FIVE YEAR. I MEAN THIS OPM IS REGARDING STUDENTS FEELING SAFE, HAVING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

WOULDN'T WE WANT THAT AT 100%? I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO DO 100% IN A FIVE YEAR SPAN VERSUS 1%.

THIS CAME UP AT THE LAST MEETING. RIGHT.

ABOUT THOSE THAT WERE 90 OR 95%. RIGHT. SO WE SAID IF WE CAN HIT IN THE SURVEY 90% PLUS, WE FELT CONFIDENT THAT THAT WAS GOING TO CREATE A SELF INVITE A GOOD SECURE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT SOMEWHERE WHERE CHILDREN FEEL SAFE TO BE AT. THEY CAN RAISE THOSE CONCERNS IF THEY DON'T.

AND SO WHAT WE PROPOSED WAS FROM 89 TO 90%.

BUT DO WE WANT EVERY CHILD TO FEEL SAFE? THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE ALL BELIEVE IN.

NO, NO. YEAH. I JUST THINK 1% IN A SPAN OF FIVE YEARS, JUST NOT. WE'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO ENSURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE FEELING SAFE IN THEIR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHEN IT SHOULD BE AT 100%. THANK YOU.

AND IF I CAN JUST REAL QUICK, I THINK YOU ABSOLUTELY WANT TO AIM FOR 100, BUT CAN YOU IN REALITY, IS THAT AN ATTAINABLE GOAL? TO REACH 100%? I THINK WE CAN CONSIDER AN INCREMENTAL INCREASE. BUT TO MAINTAIN 90% IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AND A CELEBRATION. BUT MY CONCERN WOULD BE IF YOU PUT A GOAL OF 100% IS IN REALITY, CAN THAT BE MET? IF YOU HAVE ONE STUDENT IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT FEEL THAT WAY, WE'VE GOT TO ENSURE THAT EVERY STUDENT FEELS THAT WAY.

BUT IS THAT AN ATTAINABLE GOAL, THE 100%? I THINK GETTING AS CLOSE TO IT AS POSSIBLE IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT'S AGREEABLE.

AND I THINK LAST TIME WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT WE'LL VIEW THIS DATA IN DISAGGREGATED WAYS.

CORRECT. BECAUSE 90% AT EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS IS PROBABLY MORE CHALLENGING THAN 90% OVERALL. SO I THINK THAT THE WAY WE VIEW THIS DATA WILL

[01:10:02]

ALSO HOLD US TO A DIFFERENT BAR OF LIKE WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS AT EACH ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES AND TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

THE OTHER CHANGE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING QUARTERLY NOW.

RIGHT. RIGHT NOW THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE ONLY DONE AN END OF YEAR SURVEY. WE, WE WANT TO MOVE TO THAT QUARTERLY SURVEY SO THAT WE HAVE THAT PULSE CHECK A LOT SOONER. AND SO I THINK THAT'S ALSO WHY AIMING FOR 100% MAY BE A STRETCH. EVEN THOUGH THE BELIEF IS THAT EVERY CHILD NEEDS TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. SO WITH IT GOING FROM 89 TO 90% IN A FIVE YEAR SPAN, WHICH IS, IS JUST THAT 1%, I THINK IF WE MEET THAT IN ONE OR TWO YEARS, WE'LL REVIEW IT AGAIN. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION OUR SELF BOARD EVALUATION TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT QUARTERLY SO WE CAN ENSURE TO MAKE THAT CHANGE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE LES MAGI.

YEAH, I THINK THAT FOR THE FORT, FOR THE BOARD, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS TOGETHER IF THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE GOAL, AN ACCEPTABLE GUARDRAIL, AND AS A BOARD TOGETHER DECIDE IF WE WANT TO MOVE THAT MARKER BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES OR WHATNOT.

SO WHILE I AGREE THAT YES, WE WANT TO BE 100% SAFE AND EVERYBODY FEELS SAFE, WE DO NEED TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND SEEING IF WE ARE INCREMENTING PROPERLY OR DO WE NEED TO BUMP THAT UP BECAUSE OF WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES ARE HAPPENING AT THAT TIME.

YOU REMIND ME OF SOMETHING AS WELL THAT WE'VE HAD. WE'VE BEEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION ON THE GOAL SIDE AND THE GPMS. WE KNOW THAT ALREADY WE HAVE HIT SOME GPM. AND SO BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE ESTABLISHED THE BASELINE WITH THE OPM, I THINK WE TAKE A SIMILAR APPROACH LIKE WE DID WITH THE GPMS. RIGHT. WHEN WE, WHEN WE ADOPTED THE GPMS, WE SAID IT'S A BASELINE SETTING YEAR. LET'S GIVE OURSELVES A TWO YEAR TARGET. WE DIDN'T GIVE OURSELVES A TWO YEAR TARGET HERE FOR 2028.

BUT WHAT WE DO NEED TO COME BACK TO IS THAT CONVERSATION THAT MS. TRUSTEE WOODY POINTED OUT.

IS THAT AT ONE OF THE WORKSHOPS, RIGHT.

ESPECIALLY WE HAVE ONE ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR JULY, WHICH WE DO, DOING THAT GALLERY WALK AND SAYING IF WE ALREADY SURPASSED THAT GOAL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAY, OH WE CAN, IF WE ALREADY SURPASSED THAT GOAL, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO MAINTAIN OR MOVE OR MOVE FORWARD? AND SO I THINK THAT'S ALSO A CONVERSATION TO BRING TO THE, TO THE TABLE AS A DISCUSSION OF REASSURANCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS OPM IN THAT CASE, THAT GPM, BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY SURPASSED IT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE WRIGHT HAYWORTH.

JUST A STATEMENT IN AGREEMENT. WE WANT EVERY KID, EVERY TIME THAT WALK THROUGH OUR DOORS TO FEEL SAFE, OBVIOUSLY 100% ALONG WITH OUR STUDENTS. WE WANT OUR STAFF, FACULTY, WANT EVERYONE WALKING INTO OUR DISTRICT TO FEEL SAFE. AND NOT ONLY DOES THAT JUST FALL UNDER JUST THE SUPERINTENDENT BUT THAT FALLS UNDER EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS ACCESS TO OUR KIDS. SO WE AS ADULTS NEED TO BE LINED UP IN THAT AREA AND THAT BEYOND OUR HEAD. SO THAT'S PD THAT IS EVERY TEACHER, EVERY CLASSROOM, PARENTS, RESPONSIBILITY TO SPEAK WITH THEIR OWN KIDS AT HOME. I MEAN, THIS IS THIS. THERE'S A LOT THAT FALLS INTO THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS AND HAVING THINGS IN PLACE LIKE OPEN DOOR POLICY, BECAUSE WE CAN REACH OUT TO OTHER TEACHERS AND FACULTY AND THINGS THAT. I THINK WE'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB IN PUTTING THESE THINGS IN PLACE. AND AGAIN, 100% GREAT. AND WE WANT TO WORK TOWARDS THAT. AND LIKE YOU SAY, THIS IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REVIEW.

AND ONCE WE HIT A MILESTONE, WE CAN ALWAYS INCREASE THAT MILESTONE.

I APPRECIATE THAT. TRUSTEE WRIGHT HAYWOOD. ONE OF THE OTHER CONVERSATIONS THAT ACTUALLY ALREADY BEGAN LAST WEEK WITH OUR, ON THURSDAY WITH OUR PRINCIPALS IS THEY STARTED PREVIEWING THESE AND THEY'RE SITTING, THEY'RE HITTING THEIR. THESE GOALS BECOME THEN THEIR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT GOALS. AND THOSE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT GOALS, THAT IS THEIR SCORECARD. THAT IS HOW WE HOLD EACH CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, ACCOUNTABLE FOR EACH OF THE GRADES. THE SAME THING HAPPENS AT THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL. SO THIS CASCADES ALL THE WAY DOWN, RIGHT, FROM THE BOARD, FROM THE BOARDROOM TO THE CLASSROOM, SO THAT EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS FEELS THAT REALITY IN A POSITIVE WAY, RIGHT? AND THEN EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT FEELS THAT REALITY.

THEN WHAT ISN'T HERE TODAY IS THEN THAT'S WHEN WE GET TO WORK THE PLAN, RIGHT? SO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN THEN BECOMES

[01:15:04]

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO HIT THIS OPM? WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON EVERY SINGLE DAY THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION TO MAKE THIS A REALITY? AND SO THAT'S THE NEXT LAYER OF THE WORK.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCO.

DR. CANTU. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS INFORMATION FORWARD. I ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM EARLIER AS FAR AS, AS FAR AS THE, THE VERY, VERY SMALL INCREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO GET TO, TO MEET OUR, OUR GOALS HERE. THE SAME COULD BE SAID ABOUT GOAL NUMBER 4.3 GOING FROM 94.7 TO 95%, 0.3 INCREASE. THAT COULD BE STATISTICAL ERROR. AND I THINK I SAID SOME. WELL, I KNOW I SAID SOMETHING TO THIS EFFECT AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING THAT I WAS CONCERNED THAT, THAT PERHAPS IF IT IS, IF, IF IT'S SO SMALL OF A NUMBER WHERE IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY JUST STATISTICAL ERROR OR EVEN ROUNDING ERROR, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY ALREADY THERE. SO I COMMEND YOU ALL FOR ALREADY BEING THERE. SO FOR ME, I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS I JUST CAN'T GET BEHIND THIS, BECAUSE ARE THESE TWO THE RIGHT GOALS SHOULD WE BE FOCUSING ON SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAN MAKE A LARGER IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.

AND IN THAT ONE, THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD THEN WAS, THAT WAS ONE STUDENT, RIGHT? IN THAT. IN THAT GROUP. SO WE HAD 100% OF THE TEACHERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY WHO WERE PART OF THE DISTRICT ADVISORY GROUP AND 100% OF THE STAFF MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT SURVEY.

AND THEN FROM THE STUDENTS, THERE WAS ONE. AND SO THAT ONE STUDENT WAS WHAT KEPT US FROM GETTING TO THAT 100%. AND AGAIN, SO THAT WE DON'T RUN INTO THE SAME THING OF ONE STUDENT NOT FEELING THAT WAY, DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO CHANGE IT TO 100%? AND THEN WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO HIT THAT MARK. I THINK THE CONVERSATION IS, OKAY, SO IF THAT STUDENT DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? HOW DO WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND SAY, LIKE, HEY, YOU'RE A LEADER ON THIS CAMPUS, RIGHT? WE VALUE YOUR VOICE. SO WHEN WE HAVE THIS NEXT YEAR, WHICH WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP, WHAT ARE SOME BETTER WAYS THAT WE CAN SERVE YOU AS A STUDENT? AND WHAT ARE SOME BETTER WAYS THAT YOUR VOICE. THAT WE CAN PROVE THAT YOUR VOICE IS BEING HEARD AND THAT YOUR IDEAS THAT COME TO US ARE IMPLEMENTED. SO I THINK WE WORK IT THAT WAY.

INSTEAD, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE SECRETARY WAGNER.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE OPMS, THE GUARDRAIL PROGRESS MEASURES AS PRESENTED BY DR. GUTIERREZ AND HIS STAFF.

SECRETARY WAGNER MAKES A MOTION, TRUSTEE MAKES A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES, SEVEN TO TWO. NEXT, WE HAVE OUR

[IX.G. Superintendent Evaluation Instrument ]

SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION INSTRUMENT. AND DR. CANTU, WILL YOU PRESENT ON THAT? SO THIS EVENING I BRING TO YOU THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION INSTRUMENT. AGAIN, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS LAST TIME, I SHARED WITH THE. WITH THE BOARD THAT THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS THAT THE BOARD CAN TAKE. OPTION ONE IS THAT WE APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED APPRAISAL PROCESS THAT IS SET BY THE COMMISSIONER. OR OPTION TWO, THAT A DISTRICT MAY ADOPT ITS OWN EVALUATION INSTRUMENT IN CONSULTATION WITH THE BOARD, THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND LEGAL COUNSEL. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT THE INSTRUMENT IS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE BRINGING YOU TONIGHT. SO WE MET WITH THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTED OF THE BOARD OFFICERS. AND THE INSTRUMENT THAT IS BEING BROUGHT TO YOU TODAY IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WITH THE BOARD OFFICER, WHICH ALIGNS WITH THE LSG SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION INSTRUMENT. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. IS IT THE EXACT INSTRUMENT? IS VERY CLOSE TO THE EXACT INSTRUMENT. AND THERE'S BEEN SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THAT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE. WHAT I DO WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT IS THAT THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING IT THIS ALIGNMENT IS THAT AGAIN IT FOCUSES ON STUDENT OUTCOMES AND THE COMMUNITY VALUES THAT WE HEARD THROUGH THOSE GPMS AND THE OPMS. WE'RE NOT QUITE AT A PLACE WHERE WE CAN EVALUATE THOSE OPMS. AS WE JUST HEARD, WE'RE JUST ADOPTING THEM TODAY.

SO THIS WAS OUR BASELINE YEAR, BUT WE WANTED TO PUT THEM ON THE INSTRUMENT SO THAT IT MIRRORS VERY CLOSELY TO THAT.

THIS ALSO PROVIDES CLEAR FEEDBACK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL GROWTH IN THAT DIRECTION, NOT JUST. BUT THE REST OF THE TEAM. RIGHT, BECAUSE THE TEAM IS ON THAT'S IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN. AND OF COURSE WE WANT THIS TO BE A FAIR ASSESSMENT AND WE WANT THERE

[01:20:02]

TO BE A CLEAR PATH FORWARD. SO THIS IS WHAT THE INSTRUMENT LOOKS LIKE. YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE YOU'VE GOT OUR THREE, FOUR STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS.

AND THEN UNDERNEATH THOSE STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS, YOU HAVE EACH OF THE GPMS. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOCUMENT YOU HAVE THE GUARDRAILS. SO WE HAVE THE FOUR GUARDRAILS. THOSE GUARDRAILS ARE NOT MEASURABLE. BUT WHAT IS MEASURABLE ARE THEY THAT WERE JUST ADOPTED. AND SO WHAT WE PROPOSE IS THAT WE USE THIS CONVERSE OR THIS INSTRUMENT ALONG WITH A SUMMATIVE INSTRUMENT THAT WAS SHARED, THAT WAS SHARED WITH YOU ALL LAST WEEK AS THE INSTRUMENT THAT WE USED TO EVALUATE THE SUPERINTENDENT.

AND SO WITH THAT, I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION TO ADOPT THE SUPERINTENDENT TROUBLE EVALUATION. MR. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE LES1.

WOODY, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE DISTRICT DEVELOPED EVALUATION INSTRUMENT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

OPTION TWO.

NO, IT'S ONE.

OH, WAIT, NO, THAT'S THE COMMISSIONER. ONE.

YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S THIS ONE.

NO, WAIT, THIS IS NUMBER ONE.

THIS, THIS IS THE DISTRICT ADOPTED.

YEAH. NUMBER TWO. YEAH.

OKAY. TRUSTEE MAKES A MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECRETARY WAGNER MAKES A SECOND. DO I HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? YES.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE FRANCO.

YEAH. I SENT QUESTIONS LAST WEEK REGARDING THIS EVALUATION INSTRUMENT. I GOT THE ANSWERS BACK THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE OUR MEETING. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT THE THOSE QUESTIONS BE READ AND THE RESPONSES BE READ FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

WE DON'T ALLOW READING THAT.

AM I CORRECT? HE CAN ASK THE QUESTION BUT NOT READ IT COMPLETELY.

I. SO FOR CLARIFICATION, I SENT A LIST OF QUESTIONS TO STAFF LAST THURSDAY WHEN WE RECEIVED THE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IN OUR, IN OUR.

ON OUR AGENDA. AND I RECEIVED THE ANSWERS ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE THIS MEETING. I'M JUST ASKING. I DON'T KNOW THAT IF ALL OF, IF ALL OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAD THE, THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO READ THROUGH THOSE ANSWERS AND UNDERSTAND MY QUESTIONS. SO I'M ASKING IF WE COULD HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS READ AND THE. THE QUESTIONS READ AND THEIR ANSWERS FOR THE, FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD TO HAVE.

THAT'S 21 QUESTIONS.

THEN I MOVE, I, I MOVE THAT.

THAT MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BE. BE ADDED TO THE MINUTES OF THIS BOARD MEETING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA IN THE, IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING.

SECRETARY WAGNER HAS A COMMENT.

WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS. I DON'T THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO READ THEM IN THE RECORD OR KEEP THEM AS PART OF THE RECORD.

THEY WERE IN THE BOARD BOOK.

AGAIN, I DIDN'T HAVE THE QUESTIONS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO READ THEM INTO THE RECORD.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE WRIGHT-HAYWOOD.

I DID READ THE QUESTIONS AND I DID SEE THE ANSWERS AND I.

WELL, I SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. TO DR. CANTU'S POINT, IT IS NOT THE EXACT TOOL. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD OR THAT THE COMMITTEE HAD DISCUSSED AND THEY'RE BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD AS PRESENTED FOR THE SECOND TIME. SO I THINK FOR ME, WHETHER OR NOT THE ANSWERS WERE WHAT THE TRUSTEE WANTED TO HEAR OR NOT, THAT WOULD COME ON THEIR VOTE AND THEY CAN MAKE A VOTE WHETHER OR NOT THEY APPROVE IT.

BUT THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS NOT THE SAME AS THE LSG RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT IS OUR OWN BY.

DEVELOPED BY OUR DISTRICT.

DR. CANTU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT.

SO THE TARGETS THAT ARE HERE ARE OUR 2028 TARGETS, WHICH ARE OUR TWO YEAR TARGETS.

THE TARGETS THAT DR. BAILEY HAS PRESENTED ON HAVE OFTEN BEEN THE YEARLY TARGETS WHICH WE DIDN'T ADOPT AS A BOARD. SO WE CAN'T HOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT ACCOUNTABLE BUT. OR GIVE HIM CREDIT, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE MET, WE, WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE IN SOME WAY ON THIS WHEN WE HAVE MET THOSE YEARLY TARGETS BECAUSE WE MET A LOT OF THOSE YEARLY TARGET TARGETS, DR. BAILEY. AND IF WE DON'T SHOW THAT HERE WE DIDN'T MEET THE 2028 TARGETS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MEET A LOT

[01:25:01]

OF THOSE. I WOULDN'T EXPECT US TO. BUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE MET THOSE 2026 TARGETS ON HERE, I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THAT.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT NEEDS TO BE HERE OR THAT'S JUST IN DISCUSSION. NOTES.

DR. CANTU, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? SO I CAN. I'LL PROVIDE SOME INSIGHT TO WHAT WAS SHARED THEN. SO THE STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS.

SO GOAL ONE, GOAL TWO, GOAL THREE AND GOAL FOUR, THOSE WERE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD AND THOSE ARE YEARLY TARGETS.

THE ONES THAT TRUSTEE SIERRA BRINGS UP ARE THE GPMS. WHEN WE ADOPTED THE GPMS, OUR BOARD COACH SAID IT'S YOUR FIRST YEAR OF ADOPTING GPMS. SO WHEN YOU ADOPT THE GPMS, YOU DON'T KNOW. FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVEN'T USED THIS MEASURE.

RIGHT. IT WAS ITS MAP FOR THE, THAT WE USE FOR THE MATH AND THE READING.

SO GOAL ONE, GOAL TWO, GOAL THREE, YOU DON'T KNOW AS A SYSTEM HOW MUCH YOU CAN MOVE.

RIGHT. YOU DON'T KNOW. AS FOR MAP, IS IT A GOOD LEADING INDICATOR OR NOT? SO THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO ADOPT THE TWO YEAR TARGET FOR THE GPMS, WHICH IS WHAT THE BOARD ADOPTED IN OCTOBER 21ST OF 2025. THE TARGETS IN. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EVALUATION, THE TARGETS WILL SAY WHETHER WE MET THE GOAL OR THE TARGET, WHETHER WE MADE PROGRESS TOWARDS THAT 2028 GOAL OR IF WE DID NOT MEET THE GOAL OR THE TARGET. SO THAT'S THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS PUT OUT THERE. WHAT I DON'T WANT TO GET TO IS THOSE INDIVIDUAL TARGETS BECAUSE THEN I FEEL IT GOES INTO THE EVALUATION ITSELF.

CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

YES, THANK YOU. SO THE INTEGRITY INSTRUMENT THAT IS PROVIDED UP HERE ON THE SCREEN IS LONE STAR GOVERNANCE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION CREATED BY TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY. I WAS PART OF THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE.

WHEN I REVIEWED THIS DOCUMENT, IT WAS A BLANK DOCUMENT.

THEREFORE I APPROVED TO USE IT. NOW THAT WE HAVE DATA IN IT, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO USE THIS DOCUMENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FAIR TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FAIR TO THE DISTRICT TO EVALUATE HIM ON BASELINE INFORMATION ON WORK HE HAS YET TO BE. YET TO DO. YES, WE HAVE A PLAN, BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO EVALUATE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR FOR HIM. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE DISTRICT TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S ONE CONCERN THAT I HAVE THERE IS WITH THE OPMS. THE OTHER CONCERN IS JUST WITH THE DATA. AND IF THIS IS WITH THIS BEING A LONE STAR GOVERNANCE DOCUMENT FROM TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, IT NEEDS TO BE APPLIED THE WAY IT'S INTENDED TO BE USED. SO I WOULD ASK THAT AT OUR SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION WORKSHOP COMING UP THAT IT BE USED APPROPRIATELY. THERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TEA WEBSITE ON HOW TO USE THIS, THIS DOCUMENT. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS DOCUMENT, WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE USING IT APPROPRIATELY.

OR I WOULD SUGGEST A WHOLE NEW INTEGRITY INSTRUMENT ALTOGETHER THAT'S GOING TO BETTER FIT HIM AND THE EVALUATION TO WHERE IT'S FAIR TO NOT ONLY THE SUPERINTENDENT BUT TO THE DISTRICT. AND EVEN IF THAT MEANS GOING BACK TO SQUARE ONE, I WOULD REQUEST TO TABLE THE EVALUATION SO WE CAN FIND THE CORRECT INSTRUMENT THAT WOULD FIT HIM AND THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU.

I WILL DISAGREE BECAUSE IT IS.

WE ARE FORMING IT AND WE ARE KIND OF. WE ARE EVENTUALLY ACTUALLY CREATING OUR OWN INSTRUMENT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT TRUSTEE.

AND THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO TRUSTEE SIERRA'S QUESTION OR COMMENT. I MEAN WE CAN ALWAYS ADD A COMMENT AT THE END OF OUR EVALUATION OF. WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A TWO YEAR EVALUATION, WE ARE EXCITED OR NOT EXCITED ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS THAT WERE MET OR NOT MET. I THINK WE CAN DO AN OVERALL SUMMARY OF THAT AT THE END OF THE EVALUATION TO HELP ACCOMMODATE THAT.

AND THAT IS WHAT THE. THE BOOKLET HAS.

YES.

AND AGAIN, THE SPACES FOR THE COMMENTS.

THIS WAS. THIS WAS A TOOL THAT THE DISTRICT CREATED FOR US SPECIFICALLY. SO IT IS NOT LSG ALL THE WAY, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE USED AND THAT WE MODIFIED TO FIT US.

SO I DID WE MAKE A MOTION.

MADAM PRESIDENT, POINT OF INFORMATION.

I'D LIKE TO CALL THE QUESTION.

THERE'S A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

OKAY. THE QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED AND IT REQUIRES 2/3

[01:30:01]

OF THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF CALLING THE QUESTION AND GOING ON TO A VOTE, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. 1, 2, 3, 4, 05, 6, 7. THAT'S 2/3 OF THE VOTE. THE QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED. WE WILL GO ON FOR THE VOTE. THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO APPROVE THE EVALUATION INSTRUMENT ADOPTED BY CREATED BY THE DISTRICT AS PRESENTED BY TRUSTEE LEDESMA WOODY. THE SECOND CAME FROM VIA SECRETARY WAGNER. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES SEVEN TO TWO.

I'M SORRY, YOU NEVER CALLED FOR SOMEONE.

ABSTAIN.

ALL THOSE AGAINST? ALL THOSE AGAINST.

I'M SORRY.

YEAH, YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

MOTION PASSES SEVEN TO TWO.

[IX.H. Board Governance Support]

NEXT. WE HAVE OUR BOARD GOVERNANCE SUPPORT AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME PRESENTATIONS AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER, ACTUALLY TURN IT OVER TO DR.

GANTHU BECAUSE HE GOT HIM UP ON THIS. ALSO CAME UP IN CONVERSATION AT OUR LAST MEETING OF THE GOVERNANCE CONVERSATION. I KNOW THE BOARD IS EAGER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A GOVERNANCE MODEL. SO TODAY WHAT I SHARE WITH YOU ALL ARE THREE OPTIONS.

AGAIN, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO FOR TONIGHT IS TO REVIEW AND SELECT AN ORGANIZATIONAL GOVERNANCE MODEL FOR SUPPORT THAT THE BOARD WISHES TO FOLLOW. SO THIS GUIDES THE VISION TOWARDS THE EXCEPTIONAL GOVERNANCE WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN STARTED.

AND OF COURSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOARD, TONIGHT WE ARE ASKING FOR ACTION, AND THAT IS THAT AFTER THE DISCUSSION OF THE THREE PROPOSALS THAT YOU ADOPT, THE WAY FORWARD, AND THEN JUST SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS. EACH MODEL OFFERS A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO EITHER THE LEADERSHIP COACHING, THE SUPPORT OR THE MONITORING OF THE STUDENT OUTCOMES. BUT THEY'RE ALL STRONG GOVERNANCE MODELS. SO OPTION A IS A MODEL THAT YOU ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE WE'VE ENGAGED IN THE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK FOR THE LAST. SO AGAIN, THE CORE FOCUS, AS YOU'RE VERY WELL AWARE OF, IS THE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CENTERED ON THE STUDENT OUTCOME.

RIGHT? THAT'S WHY WE SEE THE GOALS, THAT'S WHY WE SEE THE GPMS. THAT'S WHY WE SEE THE OPMS. IT FOCUSES A LOT ON BOARD BEHAVIOR, AS DR.

BAILEY REMINDS US. RIGHT. OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES DON'T CHANGE UNTIL ADULT BEHAVIOR CHANGES.

AND THEN IT RELIES HEAVILY ON ACCOUNTABILITY. RIGHT.

BECAUSE WHAT'S MEASURED ARE THE GOALS, THE OPINION, THE GPMS, AND THEN WE, WE CASCADE DOWN THE ORGANIZATION. SO FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PLAN IS WE ESTABLISH A STRUCTURED SCOPE AND SEQUENCE. WE HAVE A DRAFT FROM OUR PREVIOUS LONE STAR GOVERNANCE COACH THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THAT GOES THROUGH NEXT SCHOOL YEAR THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR US FROM THE PREVIOUS COACH. AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HIRE AND WORK DIRECTLY WITH A CERTIFIED LONE STAR GOVERNOR. SO THIS IS BEST FIT FOR A HIGHLY STRUCTURED, A METRIC DRIVEN FRAMEWORK FOCUSED ON GOVERNANCE BEHAVIOR AND OF COURSE, THE MONITORING THAT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONE THAT IS MOST FAMILIAR.

IF TONIGHT THIS MODEL IS SELECTED, WE WILL REACH OUT TO TEA, WE WILL REACH OUT TO THE GOVERNANCE COACHES, AND THEN WE WILL SELECT THE BEST GOVERNANCE COACH TO GUIDE US THROUGH THIS WORK. SO THAT IS LONE STAR GOVERNANCE.

FOR OPTION A OR OPTION ONE, OPTION B, WE HAVE THE CASEY MODEL. SO THE CORE FOCUS HERE IS ON STRATEGIC, STRATEGIC VISION AND NEXT STEP TIED. THE NEXT STEPS TIED TO STUDENT OUTCOMES. WE'VE ALREADY ADOPTED THE STUDENT OUTCOMES, THE STUDENT GOALS AND THE GUARDRAILS. SO WE WORK OFF THE WORK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PLACE. WE PARTNER WITH CONSULTANTS FROM MOKC TO GUIDE US THROUGH THESE STRATEGIC CONVERSATIONS OVER THE NEXT YEAR. AND HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS? HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT? HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO BRING UPDATES TO THE BOARD USING THE MONITORING CALENDAR, THE UPDATES THAT WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, WE ALIGN THEN THE ORGANIZATIONAL DATA WITH THE STUDENT GOALS AND THE GUARDRAILS, RIGHT? SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, NOW THAT WE HAVE OUR OPINION, GMS, THOSE TASKS NOW FALL BACK ON US AS THE ADMINISTRATION.

THEY FALL BACK ON THE CAMPUSES. SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO MOVE THAT FORWARD? HOW DO WE KEEP A SCORECARD FOR EACH OF THOSE CAMPUSES, FOR EACH OF THE GOALS, FOR EACH OF THE OPMS, FOR EACH OF THE GPMS, AND THEN WE CASCADE DOWN THE FULL ORGANIZATION. SO

[01:35:02]

THE BEST FIT FOR THIS IS THAT IT'S A TAILORED MODEL WITH A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF BOARD ROLES SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND OUR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THERE IS SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND THE DATA DASHBOARDS WHERE THE SCORECARDS COMES INTO PLAY THAT MEETS THE DISTRICT'S UNIQUE NEEDS. WHEN WE ASKED FOR THIS PROPOSAL, DR.

GIBSON, WHO IS SITTING WITH US TODAY, ASKED IF HE COULD BE HERE TO PRESENT. I SAID, OF COURSE YOU CAN COME IN TO PRESENT. I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT UP TO BOARD PRESIDENT IF SHE WANTS, TAKE SOME TIME AFTER THIS TO HAVE HIM PRESENT. AND THEN OPTION THREE IS THE TASB WORKSHOP MODEL. SOME, SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE. YOU ALL HAVE USED TASB IN THE PAST. THERE IS A PROPOSAL. THERE'S AN EXHIBIT IN YOUR DOCUMENT. SO THIS IS FOCUSED ON CORE FOUNDATIONAL GOVERNANCE, ON BUILDING A COLLABORATIVE TEAM AND HAVING THAT FLEXIBLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT TASB. SO THE BOARD WOULD PARTICIPATE IN A SERIES OF TARGETED AND FACILITATED TRAINING SESSIONS.

THERE ARE THREE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WORK THAT THEN GUIDES OR LEADS THE REST OF THE WORK THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR.

IT UTILIZES THESE MODULAR WORKSHOPS THAT THEY, THAT THEY HAVE PROPOSED FOR US AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE, THEY'LL FOLLOW UP WITH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP COACHING AS NEEDED FROM TASB. AND SO THE BEST FIT IS FOR STRENGTHENING BOARD SUPERINTENDENT RELATIONSHIPS AND THE TEAM DYNAMICS OF FLEXIBLE AND SUPPORTIVE APPROACH. SO THOSE TWO EXHIBITS, THE ONE FROM CASEY IS IN YOUR PACKET AND THE TASB EXHIBIT IS ALSO IN THE, IN THE PACKET.

SO CAN WE HAVE MR. GIBSON, SINCE HE, HE CAME ALL THE WAY HERE TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT TO US TRUSTEE PANTOJA.

DR. CANTU, THANK YOU FOR THIS. CAN YOU SHARE THE COST TO BOTH? TO EITHER ONE? TO BOTH, ACTUALLY. CAN YOU SHARE THE COST TO EACH ONE? BECAUSE EARLIER WE JUST TALKED ABOUT SAVING DOLLARS AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS.

YES.

THERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE COST PROPOSAL OR THE PROPOSAL FOR EACH OF THEM, IT IS AT END. SO FOR THE MO CASEY MODEL, THERE IS A PRESENTATION AND THEN THERE'S A TWO OR THREE PAGE PROPOSAL AND IT IS AT THE END OF THAT. AND THE SAME THING FOR TASB, THERE'S A THREE OR FOUR PAGE DOCUMENT AT THE VERY END. THEY BREAK DOWN THE, THE COST OF THE MODEL.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL THREE PRETTY COMPARABLE. ABOUT.

ABOUT THE SAME. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

DO YOU HAVE THE COST? MY COMPUTER DIED AND I DON'T HAVE A BINDER. DO YOU HAVE THE COST FOR ALL THOSE THREE? SO I CAN MAKE NOTE OF THAT.

THE. THE COST FOR THE MO CASEY MODEL IS, I BELIEVE, 30,000.

EXACTLY THE COST. I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME.

THE COST. I DO. SORRY. THE COST FOR THE TASB MODEL IS 22,275.

AND THEN THE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE MODEL WOULD DEPEND ON THE COACH THAT WE HIRE. THE PREVIOUS COST FOR LONE STAR GOVERNANCE FOR THE YEAR WAS 30,000.

CAN WE CALL UP DR. GIBSON? OKAY.

TRUSTEE.

I DON'T. I GUESS MORE OF A COMMENT. I REALLY LIKE THAT WE HAVE A. WE HAVE MATRIX AND WE HAVE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE. THAT GAVE US A FRAMEWORK FOR US AS A BOARD TO GO BY. FOR ME, I REALLY WOULD LOVE FOR US TO FOCUS ON BOARD. WHAT IS IT? SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD RELATIONS, TEAM BUILDING, UNDERSTANDING THE FOUNDATION OF GOVERNANCE, AND FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN OUR BOARD. I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S CRUCIAL FOR US AS A BOARD TO WORK TOGETHER TO UNDERSTAND OUR ROLES AND THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK.

FOR ME, LIKE, WE ALREADY HAVE THAT IN PLACE. WE JUST AS A BOARD NEED TO LEARN TO IMPLEMENT IT AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE WE DRIVE THROUGH OUR GOALS.

I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT ANY GOVERNANCE MODEL OR FRAMEWORK OR COACH WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK WITH US TO TAILOR TO WHAT WE NEED. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS. YEAH.

TO SUPPORT TRUSTEE PANTOJA'S COMMENT HE MADE EARLIER WITH.

GIVEN OUR BUDGET AND THE THREE

[01:40:01]

PRICES THAT WE HAVE, TASB WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER.

AND I FEEL LIKE GOVERNANCE IS GOVERNANCE.

AND AS LONG AS WE'RE IN A PROGRAM, WE'RE LEARNING, WE'RE GROWING. I WOULD PREFER THE CHEAPER ROUTE ON THIS ONE. MY OPINION. THANK YOU.

CAN WE HAVE HIM PRESENT? SECRETARY WAGNER, I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND CONCLUDE THE PRESENTATION PRIOR TO ASKING QUESTIONS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD AND GO FROM THERE.

CAN WE ASK DR. GIBSON TO COME UP? GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO TALK FOR JUST. AND I MAINLY JUST WANTED TO PUT A FACE WITH A NAME BECAUSE I VIEW THIS WORK AS A RELATIONSHIP. AND SO IT'S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT, BUT IT'S ALSO BETWEEN THE COACH. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN I DIVE IN, I HAVE A TENDENCY TO DIVE ALL THE WAY IN AND GET REALLY ATTACHED TO THE TEAM THAT I'M WORKING WITH.

SO I WANTED YOU JUST TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME. TWO THINGS IN WAY OF INTRODUCTION. GREW UP A FOOTBALL COACH'S SON. WE MOVED AROUND A LOT. HE WON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT WE MOVED AROUND A LOT. MY MOM WAS MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER, AND THEN ALSO EVENTUALLY MY ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL. STRUGGLED IN SCHOOL. HAD MY LOWEST GPA IN COLLEGE MY FRESHMAN YEAR AND MY HIGHEST WITH 4.0 IN MY DOCTORAL PROGRAM A LONG TIME LATER. SO I WAS A VERY, VERY LATE BLOOMER.

BUT IN THE MIDST OF THAT, IT WAS A PRETTY UNIQUE SITUATION.

AT 24 YEARS OLD, I WAS THE PRINCIPAL AT GRAHAM HIGH SCHOOL, JUST THROUGH A WEIRD SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, BARELY GOT OUT OF COLLEGE. THREE YEARS LATER, I'M THE PRINCIPAL AT GRAHAM HIGH SCHOOL. AND SIX YEARS LATER, I WAS THE SUPERINTENDENT AT GRANDMA AT 32 YEARS OLD FOR SEVEN YEARS LATER. AND SO I. THE THING I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT IS THAT BOTH OF THOSE HAPPEN IN JUST KIND OF A WEIRD WAY. LIKE I WAS LITERALLY THE LAST MAN STANDING. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I PUT IN AND, YOU KNOW, MADE MY PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK THE BOARD JUST SAID, HEY, WE'VE ALREADY GOT GREG. HE'S HERE. HE CAN DO IT. LET'S NAME HIM THE SUPERINTENDENT. BUT WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ALL THAT? AND THIS IS KIND OF WEIRD, MY DAD HAD RETIRED AS A FOOTBALL COACH, AND HE DID WHAT A LOT OF FOOTBALL COACHES DID. HE WENT INTO THE INSURANCE BUSINESS.

SO IN THE NEAR, IN THE NEIGHBORING TOWN, HE WAS THE SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT NEXT TOWN OVER. SO I'M SUPERINTENDENT THAT. MY FATHER IS SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT NEXT TOWN OVER, AND HE OWNS SOME PROPERTY AND HE OWNS SOME COWS.

AND I THOUGHT HAVING THREE CHILDREN AND BEING A SUPERINTENDENT WOULD GET ME OUT OF SATURDAY CHORES, BUT TURNS OUT THAT THAT WAS A LIFETIME THING WITH MY DAD.

EVERY SATURDAY MORNING I WOULD GO OUT AND I WOULD MEET HIM FOR COFFEE, AND THEN WE WOULD BUILD FENCE OR, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER HE NEEDED TO DO.

BUT WHAT I REALIZED IS I HAD SOMETHING AS GOOD AS GOLD. I HAD A BOARD PRESIDENT TEACHING ME HOW TO BECOME A BRAND NEW SUPERINTENDENT FROM THE BOARD'S LENS. SO I KNOW NO DIFFERENT AS A SUPERINTENDENT THAN TO SEE THE WORK THROUGH THE BOARD'S LENS. AND WHEN I LOOK BACK AT MY 23 YEARS AS THE SUPERINTENDENT, THOSE FIRST 23 WEEKS WITH HIM MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD, YOU KNOW, AND HE WOULD SAY THINGS LIKE SON. WHICH THAT WASN'T A NICE THING WHEN HE CALLED YOU SON. BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS. BUT THAT WAS THE TERM HE USED SON. DON'T TELL THE BOARD ANYTHING IN JUNE THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT IN FEBRUARY. I MEAN, JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS. JUST LIKE THESE KINDS OF. SON, DON'T TELL THE BOARD TO STAY OUT OF THE WEEDS. IF YOU HADN'T CLARIFIED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WEEDS AND THE GRASS. SO I MEAN, LIKE LITERALLY. I JUST HAD A LITTLE NOTEPAD AND I JUST STARTED WRITING ALL THESE DOWN. AND SO I JUST, I WANT Y' ALL TO KNOW THAT ABOUT ME AS A SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE YOU, IF I'M A BOARD MEMBER, I MIGHT BE SAYING, WHAT DOES THE RETIRED SUPERINTENDENT HAVE TO OFFER US? I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THE GOOD GOVERNANCE CONCEPT. MY WIFE, EVERY BOARD MEETING NIGHT, AND I'LL CONCLUDE WITH THIS, BUT EVERY BOARD MEETING NIGHT, I WOULD RUN HOME. I FINISHED UP IN CHURCH CIVIL AT UNIVERSAL CITY. IT WAS A GREAT, GREAT DISTRICT FOR MY LAST 12 YEARS AS SUPERINTENDENT, AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. AND I LEARNED FROM THAT

[01:45:02]

BOARD. I LEARNED SO MUCH AND WE DID SO MUCH TOGETHER. AND WE ALWAYS TRIED TO, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE BOARD OF THE UP FOR BOARD OF THE YEAR TWO OR THREE TIMES DURING THAT 12 YEARS. AND WE WERE CONSTANTLY WORKING ON THAT. NEVER SATISFIED.

WANTED TO ALWAYS BE THE BEST.

AND I DO. I JUST REMEMBER I WOULD GO HOME. MY WIFE WORKED IN SAN ANTONIO IN ONE OF THE LARGER DISTRICTS IN SAN ANTONIO. AND SO ON BOARD MEETING NIGHTS, I'D RUN HOME AND I'D COOK DINNER FOR THE KIDS AND I'D COOK DINNER FOR HER BECAUSE I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF GET OUT, CLEAR MY HEAD A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING. AND THEN I WOULD HAVE DINNER READY AND KIDS, AND THEN I'M GOING TO THE BOARD MEETING. AND AS I LEFT FOR THE BOARD MEETING, EVERY NIGHT SHE WOULD SAY, DR.

GIBSON, WHICH SHE NEVER SAID.

SO I KNEW SOMETHING SMART ALECKY WAS COMING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

BUT SHE WOULD SAY, DON'T FORGET, IF YOU AND THE BOARD SNEEZE, THE DISTRICT GETS A COLD. SHE SAID IT 12 TIMES A YEAR FOR 12 YEARS. 144 TIMES. I HEARD HER SAY THAT. AND YOU KNOW, I TOOK IT TO HEART BECAUSE IT'S SO TRUE.

LIKE, WHATEVER.

LIKE WE'RE GOING TO SET THE CEILING OR WE'RE GOING TO SET THE FLOOR, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO COME FROM THIS TEAM OF EIGHT. SO THAT HAS DRIVEN ME, HER, MY FATHER. THE BOARDS THAT I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH HAVE JUST DRIVEN ME TO.

I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT RETIREMENT. OBVIOUSLY, HERE I AM. SARAH AND I'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE. WE BOTH, I'D SAY WE MUST HAVE STARTED OUR WORK AT 10 YEARS OLD BECAUSE WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER TOO LONG. BUT THIS WORK IS VERY, I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE ADESBAOU.

SINCE YOU'RE HERE, I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH ON COACH AND TRUSTEE RELATIONS? SO AT THE START, THERE'S A SLIDE IN YOUR SLIDE DECK THAT OUTLINES FOUR OR FIVE THINGS AND WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO IT, BUT IT OUTLINES FOUR OR FIVE KEY COMPONENTS. AND SO THE FIRST IS TEAM TRUST. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S TEAM TRUST AND THEN ESSENTIAL ROLES AND THEN CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND THEN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. SO TEAM, TEAM TRUST.

LET ME REPHRASE THAT. WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW INTERACTIVE A COACH IS WITH THEIR BOARD? I MEAN, I ONLY KNOW ONE WAY 24, 7, 365. I MEAN, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO AGREE AS A TEAM, WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE STRUCTURE? OKAY, I HAVE ABOUT 1200 BOARD MEMBERS, CELL PHONE NUMBERS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM.

TRUSTEE. TRUSTEE PANTOJA.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. HAVE YOU EVER WORKED WITH A NINE MEMBER, A NINE MEMBER BOARD? NO, I, I HAVE NOT. AND I MEAN, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, WHEN I WALKED IN, IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING FROM A SUPERINTENDENT FOR 23 YEARS TO LOOK UP AND SEE ALL THE CHAIR.

BUT IF IT'S NINE MEMBERS OR 90 MEMBERS, IT'S STILL GOOD GOVERNANCE.

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE NUMBER IS.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE BURTON.

YES, AND I THINK YOU HEARD IT OR WAS BROUGHT UP EARLIER THAT WE STARTED LSG AND SO I JUST.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IT MAY NOT FINISH. I'M NOT SURE OR NOT.

BUT WHAT DOES YOUR GOVERNANCE LOOK LIKE ON SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED? HOW EASY IS IT TO JUST KIND OF DIVE RIGHT IN, KIND OF WHERE WE LEFT OFF, LEFT OFF AND KIND OF KEEP US GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT QUESTION. I MEANT TO BRING THAT UP. I'VE FOLLOWED SEVERAL LSG BOARDS AND THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE BEFORE NOW IS JUST PHENOMENAL. I THINK I HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF IT TOUCHED ON, YOU KNOW, IT'S HOW DO WE PACKAGE IT NOW AND HOW DO WE PUT IT TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT IT'S FULLY OPERATIONAL TO ALL 10 OF US? AND SO THE WORK YOU'VE DONE IS PHENOMENAL. I'VE LOOKED AT IT. I THINK KUDOS TO YOU.

WE'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'LL USE THAT AS THE BASELINE FOR THE GOING FORWARD. AND THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.

AND I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT MAJORITY OF US FEEL, THAT WE DON'T WANT TO THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ON IT AND HAVE IT TAILORED TO WHAT TO OUR NEEDS.

ALL HIGH PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS EVALUATE THE INPUT, THE OUTPUT AND THE OUTCOME. WE CAN CALL IT 900 I CAN STAND HERE ALL NIGHT AND GIVE YOU ALL THE WORDS, BUT IT'S THE.

WHAT'S THE INPUT, WHAT'S THE OUTPUT, WHAT'S THE OUTCOME? AS LONG AS WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, AND I'M GOING TO INCLUDE THIS WHOLE CIRCLE, AS LONG AS THIS IS ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THE INPUT, THE OUTPUT, AND THE OUTCOME, AND WE HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF TEAM TRUST, WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES SECRETARY WAGNER.

THANK YOU. MY QUESTION IS TO STAFF. WHILE I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION,

[01:50:01]

WHAT WAS THE NUMBER BUDGETED SINCE WE JUST ADOPTED THE BUDGET? WHAT WAS THE NUMBER BUDGETED FOR THIS, FOR OUR GOVERNANCE WORK? 30,000, SINCE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. OKAY, PERFECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES MY WOODY.

OKAY. SO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND, I THINK WITH A LOT OF. A LOT OF TIMES NEW BOARD MEMBERS, THERE'S A LOT OF POLICY AND GOVERNANCE THINGS THAT JUST ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM. WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO TELLING A BOARD, HEY, THIS IS NOT THE NORM, OR THIS IS THE NORM, OR WHAT I DON'T WANT IS FOR US TO BE TOGETHER FOR. AND IT'S ARGUING AMONGST EACH OTHER WHEN THERE'S AN ACTUAL ANSWER THAT CAN BE RIGHT GIVEN.

YEAH. SO THERE. I MEAN, I'VE GOT LOTS OF ANSWERS. I'M NOT AFRAID TO TALK. THE ONE THING THAT I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW IS, AND WE BELIEVE IN STARTING WITH THE TEAM TRUST SELF ANALYSIS, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PAIN POINTS ARE. AND SO. AND WE. SO WE START WITH THAT AND THEN WE UNPACK.

YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF YOU, 70% OF YOU, DON'T THINK THAT ARE DEPENDABLE. I MEAN, I'M JUST MAKING. YEAH, OKAY, LET'S UNPACK THAT. WHY. SO UNTIL WE DO A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, WE ASK FIVE WHYS ON WHAT. AND THEN AT THAT MOMENT, MA', AM, I WILL START SHARING. COULD BE THIS.

YEAH, I GUESS COMMENT IS, I, I NEED A COACH AND NOT A FRIEND.

I NEED SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO COACH US AND GUIDE US PROPERLY AND NOT SOMEBODY THAT'S OUR FRIEND AND JUST WANTS TO TELL US WHAT WE WANT.

YOU GOT IT. I MEAN, I'M A RETIRED SUPERINTENDENT. I HAVEN'T HAD FRIENDS FOR 35 YEARS, SO I'M COMFORTABLE WITH NOT HAVING FRIENDS. A LOT OF COLLEAGUES, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COLLEGIAL RELATIONSHIP, BUT I HEAR AND ACCEPT THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH YOUR QUESTION IS BEING ASKED. I CAN SAY THE TOUGH THING IF IT NEEDS TO BE SAID.

WE HAVE. THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES TRUSTEE BURTON.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A VOTING QUESTION. I JUST, I KIND OF WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE, AND NO DISRESPECT, BUT I KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE STARTED LSG AND THEN WE, WE DIDN'T. AND IF, IF IT'S NOT VOTED FORWARD, THEN WE DON'T FINISH IT. AND I KIND OF DON'T LIKE THAT ASPECT OF IT. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID THOUGH, I DON'T WANT TO, I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE FOR THEM, I GUESS IN SECESSION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE. RIGHT. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE MOST VOTES GETS THE, THE CONTRACT.

BECAUSE I DON'T, I DON'T WANT TO NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THIS MODEL. IF I VOTE FOR LSG AND THEN ANOTHER MODEL WINS, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT VOTING WOULD HAVE TO TAKE PLACE. DID I VERBIAGE THAT CORRECTLY? CLARIFY WITH COUNSEL.

SO ALSO WITH THAT, IF YOU SAY YOU VOTE FOR ONE AND IT FAILS, YOU CAN STILL VOTE FOR THE OTHERS. YOU COULD STILL VOTE FOR THE OTHERS.

TRUSTEE, TO CLARIFY, WE ARE KEEPING THE FRAMEWORK FROM LSG, RIGHT? WE HAVE A FRAMEWORK ALREADY. IT'D BE UPON THE BOARD, DEPENDING ON WHICH VENDOR THAT WE CHOOSE TO TELL THIS VENDOR THAT WE HAVE A FRAMEWORK, WE WANT TO CONTINUE IT, WE JUST NEED HELP IN CERTAIN AREAS. DID I GET THAT CORRECT? YES. IT'S ULTIMATELY UP TO THE BOARD.

BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE PERSPECTIVE IS WE, WE HAVE OUR SUPERINTENDENT GOALS, GUARDRAILS, BOARD GUARDRAILS, GPMS AND OPMS. I THINK THAT WORK IS SOLID. I THINK WE BUILD FROM THIS AS A BOARD. YOU BUILD FROM THIS.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR TWO WAY COMMUNICATION ALREADY. THANK YOU, SECRETARY WAGNER.

SO IF I MAY, CHARLES, OUR TRUSTEE, BURTON. I APOLOGIZE. I KNOW, I'M SORRY. GET IT RIGHT.

WE'RE ON THE DICE. SO WITH YOURS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ONE AND INCLUDE THAT WE FINISH THE WORK OF LSG, SO BE IT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH. SO, AND THIS IS BACK TO I GUESS BOTH OF YOU WITH TRUSTEE LEDESMA WOODY. ALSO, I, I'M, I DON'T KNOW HOW PARTICULAR I AM TO MAKE SOMEBODY COME IN AND FINISH A MODEL THAT, THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY THEIRS.

I WANT SOMEBODY TO BE SET UP FOR SUCCESS. I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

BUT YES, I FEEL LIKE THE FOUNDATION AND GOALS, GUARDRAILS, TWO WAY COMMUNICATION, ALL THAT STUFF THAT'S MERGED INTO. AND

[01:55:01]

LIKE HE SAID, HE SAID HE'S CONTINUED ON AFTER LSG STUFF BEFORE. SO I'M PRETTY SURE HOPEFULLY THERE'S A MODEL OR SOME TYPE OF STRUCTURE THERE THAT WE COULD GET JUST FIT RIGHT INTO. SO I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT. AND YES, IT DOES ANSWER MY QUESTION.

SO, YEAH, SO I DID GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU GO THROUGH IT, IT DOES ALIGN VERY WELL WITH THAT.

TRUSTEE SIERRA, I WAS JUST GOING TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED THE FRAMEWORK INTO OUR POLICY ALSO. SO IT IS THERE AS WELL.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING. AND THIS IS MORE FOR DR. GIBSON. I THINK IT'S ALONG THESE LINES OF HOW CAN WE BALANCE WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE WITH LSG WITH WHAT MO CASEY DOES ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE IT'S ON, BUT ARTICULATE EXPECTED OUTCOMES IN AN ALIGNED SYSTEM. THERE'S A TABLE.

SO THESE ARE ALREADY QUASI PRE FILLED IN. NOT NECESSARILY THE GOALS, BUT IT DOES POINT OUT FOUR PRIORITIES. PRIORITY ONE, STUDENTS, WHICH I APPRECIATE. PRIORITY TWO, STAFF. LOVE IT. PRIORITY THREE, COMMUNITY. PRIORITY FOUR, THE WAY WE DID IT WITH LSG IS THAT WE WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, UNDERSTOOD WHAT THOSE PRIORITIES WERE. SO HOW MUCH OF THIS IS. IS THIS, IS THIS YOUR MODEL? AND IT'S SET THAT WAY.

THAT'S JUST IN THE ABSENCE OF A BETTER IDEA. START THERE.

BUT SEE, IF YOU'VE ALREADY GONE TO THE COMMUNITY AND YOU'VE ALREADY DONE WORK, THEN YOU CAN JUST IGNORE THAT SLIDE.

VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS, THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR FRAMEWORK AND THE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE? LIKE, WHAT WOULD WE.

WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL TOPICS THAT WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT? YEAH, THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

AND I, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ASK THAT.

SO I JOTTED THEM DOWN JUST A SECOND AGO WHEN I WAS SITTING BACK THERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I STAYED ON TRACK. THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP IN MY. BECAUSE CONSTRAINT MANAGEMENT. AND THEN THERE'S. BECAUSE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE IS BUILT NOT ONLY ON SCHOOL WORK, IT'S BUILT ON BOARD BEST PRACTICES. AND THAT MIGHT DIFFERENTIATE LONE STAR GOVERNANCE AND MOAT CASEY AND SOME OF THE OTHERS.

BECAUSE WE WILL LOOK AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL, WE WILL LOOK AT KAPLAN AND NORTON, WE WILL LOOK AT THE BALDRIGE FRAMEWORK. AND THAT'S WHY I FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN I LOOK AT LSG, BECAUSE I THINK AT THE ROOT IT'S FROM A SIMILAR BACKGROUND. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS.

SO.

YES AND NO. WHAT EXACTLY FROM THE LSG FRAMEWORK? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

WHAT EXACTLY IS DIFFERENT? LIKE WHAT TOPICS? LIKE, I KNOW TRUSTEE FRANCO MENTIONED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IS THAT A PIECE THAT YOU.

THAT YOU FEEL IS IMPORTANT, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH, IS THAT AN IMPORTANCE TO YOUR FRAMEWORK? YEAH, IT IS. BUT AGAIN, WE PRESENT THAT ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOT USED SOME MECHANISM TO GO SEEK INPUT ON THAT. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE.

YOU'VE DONE THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND YOU'VE DONE THAT.

SO WE'RE JUST SAYING IN THE ABSENCE OF HAVING GONE THROUGH THAT, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE FOUR S'S COVERED.

STUDENT, STAFF, STAKEHOLDER STEWARDSHIP. LIKE IN THE ABSENCE OF SOME OTHER PROCESS, FOUR S'S SHOULD BE COVERED.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRESS THE ALIGNMENT, SECRETARY WAGNER. OH, NO, I'M ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY.

YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. WITH THAT BOARD. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT ONE OF THEM? TRUSTEE VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

YES. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO CONTINUE WITH LONE STAR GOVERNANCE.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

EDELS MADE THE MOTION.

TRUSTEE FRANCO MAKES A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? FOUR IN FAVOR. ALL THOSE AGAINST? FIVE AGAINST. THE MOTION FAILS.

DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR ONE OF THE OTHER FRAMEWORKS? SECRETARY WAGNER, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT MO CASEY FOR OUR NEXT YEAR OF GOVERNANCE TRAINING.

SECRETARY WEGNER MAKES A MOTION FOR MO CASEY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? TRUSTEE BURTON MAKES A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX. SIX. THERE'S SIX IN FAVOR. ALL THOSE AGAINST? TWO AGAINST. ANY AB. WHO? ANYBODY? ABSTAINING.

ONE ABSTENTION. OKAY, SO THAT MOTION PASSES. SIX, TWO, ONE.

[02:00:04]

DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR TASK THREE? THAT'S IT.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE VOTED FOR MO CASEY.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR. GIBSON.

NEXT. NEXT. WE'RE COMING BACK TO THE LSG COMMITTEE. DO I HAVE A MOTION? THE MOTION WAS MADE BY SECRETARY POINT OF ORDER.

WHAT IS YOUR ORDER? THE DISSOLUTION OF THE LSG COMMITTEE IS. IS NOT ON THE AGENDA. THERE IS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR TWO YEAR TWO WAY COMMUNICATION IS. IS WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA. I'M FINE TO CONSIDER WHAT THAT MEANS. I WOULD PREFER THAT WE COME BACK WITH A REPLACEMENT OR SOME.

SOME IDEA OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO GUIDE THIS WORK, WHETHER THAT'S A GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OR NOT. BUT IT'S. THAT WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA AND I WAS STRUCK.

I WAS TAKEN OFF GUARD BY THAT EVEN BEING DISCUSSED.

SO I'M HAPPY TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I APOLOGIZE. THE ITEM READS DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND POSSIBLY ACT ON THE LSG COMMITTEE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S ITEM B OF 09, THE ACTION ITEM. SO 9B READS DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND POSSIBLY ACT ON THE COMMITTEE.

THE POINT OF ORDER IS THAT IT'S NOT ON THERE. AND I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I'M NOT GOING TO UPHOLD THAT BECAUSE IT IS ITEM B DISCUSSED CONSIDERING, POSSIBLE BACK ON THE LSG COMMITTEE.

AND ITEM IF YOU LOOK AT I WITHIN THE BOARD BOOK. THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. PAGE 90.

SARAH, YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS FOREIGN.

IT'S UNDER ACTION ITEM B DISCUSS, CONSIDERING, POSSIBLY ACT ON THE LSG COMMITTEE.

WHAT I WAS SAYING IS THAT WHAT IS IN THE BOOK ITSELF FOR THAT SECTION FOCUSES ON TWO WAY COMMUNICATION AND THAT'S WHERE I WAS TAKEN OFF WHAT THEY PUT IN THERE.

YEAH, I JUST. WE HAVE THE.

HOWEVER ANYBODY CHOOSES INTERPRET THAT TOPIC WHICH COULD BE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENDA EXPLANATION IS NOT PART OF THE AGENDA.

MOTION ON THE TABLE WAS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DISCUSSION IN A LITTLE BIT WAS TO DISSOLVE THE LSG COMMITTEE.

DO I HAVE. AND THE SECOND WAS MADE BY TRUSTEE WOODY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION.

SO MY COMMENT IS GOING TO BE NOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW STRATEGY OR A NEW VENDOR TO HELP US WITH THIS TO LOOK AT EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES OF OTHER WAYS TO COMMUNICATE FROM THE BOARD STANDPOINT ON OTHER OPTIONS. WE ALREADY HAVE THINGS GOING ON. I DO WANT TO CONTINUE WITH WHERE WE ARE WITH LONE STAR GOVERNANCE OR THAT THAT FRAMEWORK. AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE HINDERED WITH THE DISSOLUTION OF THE COMMITTEE. JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.

VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

SO TO TRUSTEE SIERRA'S STATEMENT THAT HE MADE ON THIS ON THE AGENDA. MY CONCERN IS AS. AS A BOARD OFFICER, I ATTEND MONTHLY AGENDA PLANNING MEETINGS. THIS WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA TO BE PRESENTED TODAY. AND I UNDERSTAND AT THE END OF THE DAY I DON'T HAVE A FINAL SAY BECAUSE I'M NOT THE PRESIDENT, BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE A COURTESY WHEN THE AGENDA CHANGES AFTER I LEAVE A MEETING. THANK YOU.

POINT TAKEN. ANY OTHER COMMENTS, TRUSTEE BURTON? YES, SO. AND SO WE'RE NOT WITH LSG ANYMORE WHICH, WHICH IS FINE. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I THOUGHT THE LSG COMMITTEE DID PHENOMENAL WORK.

I'M NOT. I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE WORK THAT THEY DID AND THE INPUT AND GIVING US OPTIONS AND RESOURCES TRULY APPRECIATE THEM

[02:05:02]

FOR THAT. I THINK WE HAVE TO VOTE IT IN SOME WAY. SO I DON'T JUST BECAUSE IT'S DISSOLVED AS I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAS NO BEARING ON THE ACTIONS OR RESPONSIBILITIES OR, OR THE PRODUCT THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THE COMMITTEE AND THE WORK THAT THEY DID BECAUSE IT WAS MUCH APPRECIATED AND NOT SAYING THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD ASSUME THAT ANOTHER COMMITTEE WOULD HAVE TO BE FORMED. MAYBE IT'S NOT CALLED LSG. I HAVE NO IDEA.

BUT.

BUT YEAH. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON THERE KNEW THAT FROM ME.

I THINK WE WOULD BE WORKING WITH OUR GOVERNANCE COACH TO TALK ABOUT ALL THAT AND SEE HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS. VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS.

YES.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT THE LSG FRAMEWORK IS IN OUR POLICY, SO IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO KEEP THE COMMITTEE TO AT LEAST CONTINUE DOING WORK DRIVING THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD, JUST TO KEEP US IN ALIGNMENT AND TIMELINE WITH WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE JUST IN GOVERNANCE IN A WHOLE. SO LET'S KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS BOARD POLICY.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE SIERRA.

AND I, I WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE TRUSTEE BURTON, WHAT YOU SAID.

I THINK THAT WE WORKED HARD, AND THE THING IS THAT MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OF US WORKED HARD.

DARLA, YOU, LOT OF THE FIRST WAVE OF THAT, AND THEN WE TRIED TO PUSH IT.

AND I DO REALIZE THAT SOME OF THE WAYS THAT FRAMEWORK AND THAT INTERACTION EVOLVED JUST BECAME NOT HELPFUL TO US, OUR COHERENCE AS A TEAM. AND SO I DON'T DENY THAT. I THINK MOVING TO A DIFFERENT GOVERNANCE COACH, RETAINING THE BEST OF THAT MODEL AND STARTING NEW IN WHATEVER WAY, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. SO IF WE NEED TO DISSOLVE THE COMMITTEE, I CAN BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. I DO THINK I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN MOMENTUM AND THAT WE HAVE WHATEVER MECHANISMS IN PLACE, WHETHER THAT'S THE BOARD OFFICERS OR ANOTHER GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE, TO PUT THAT FORWARD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO THAT.

I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE THE WHOLE BOARD INVOLVED.

ALL RIGHT, THE MOTION WAS MADE, BUT OKAY, YES. TRUSTEE WRIGHT HAYWOOD.

SO, YES, I ALSO AGREE THAT ORIGINALLY THE COMMITTEE WAS GREAT. WE DID GET SOME TRACTION. THINGS WERE HAPPENING. I FEEL LIKE THE BOARD AS A WHOLE WAS ON BOARD. I FEEL LIKE, TOO, IN ALL TRANSPARENCY, IT BEGAN TO CAUSE A LOT OF DISCORD.

WORK THAT WAS PUT IN AS A TEAM WITH TEAM BUILDING WAS FULLY DESTROYED. AND I PERSONALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR FOCUS BEING TURNED WITHIN OURSELVES AND NOT FOCUSED ON OUR STUDENTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE NECESSARILY NEED A COMMITTEE WHEN LSG IS A FRAMEWORK AND IT IS TO BE USED AS THE TOOL FOR IT TO PUSH US FORWARD FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES. AND THAT SHOULD ALWAYS, FROM POINT A TO Z, SHOULD BE OUR GOAL, NO MATTER WHAT. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE SITTING IN THE SEATS FOR THE SAME REASONS EVERY TIME WE STEP IN HERE. THESE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE ON THIS DAIS AFFECT OUR CHILDREN, OUR COMMITTEE, OUR NEIGHBORS, THOSE THAT POUR INTO OUR DISTRICT. AND SO WHAT THE COMMITTEE WAS ORIGINALLY DOING, WE AS A TEAM CAN DO TOGETHER.

SO I DON'T I DON'T TOO MUCH AGREE THAT IT SHOULD BE PUT OFF ON A COUPLE OF INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE WREAK HAVOC IN WHAT WE'VE STARTED TO BUILD.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO FOR A VOTE? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DISSOLVING THE LSG COMMITTEE? ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

THAT'S SIX. ALL THOSE AGAINST? THERE'S TWO AGAINST. ALL THOSE ABSTAINING? WE ABSTAIN. ONE.

THE MOTION PASSES. THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN DISSOLVED.

VICE PRESIDENT CISNEROS, THE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION THAT IS STILL ON THE AGENDA HERE, IS THAT NOW RELEVANT THAT WE DON'T HAVE A COMMITTEE TO PRESENT IT? NO, I MEAN WE CAN PRESENT THE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION WITH.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT.

SO LET'S. BECAUSE WE'RE STILL GOING TO DO TWO WAY COMMUNICATION.

[02:10:01]

NOBODY'S THROWING.

LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO AWAY WITH THAT.

ARE YOU GOING TO PRESENT THAT, TRUSTEE SIERRA? WE HAD SAID WE WERE GOING TO VOTE ON IT AT THIS SESSION.

I KNOW EVERYONE'S SAYING THAT WE'RE ON BOARD WITH IT.

BUT IF WE DO WANT TO HAVE A FORMAL VOTE TO SAY WE'LL HAVE THOSE BEGINNING OF MID, BEGINNING OF YEAR, MIDDLE OF YEAR LISTENING SESSIONS AND THEN A PERIOD OF ADDITIONAL DATA GATHERING.

SO A SURVEY OR SOME OTHER MECHANISM, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT A TWO WAY COMMUNICATION PRACTICE OF HAVING A BEGINNING OF YEAR LISTENING SESSIONS, MIDDLE OF YEAR LISTENING SESSIONS AND END OF YEAR SURVEY THIS YEAR, THIS COMING YEAR. OKAY.

TRUSTEE SIERRA MAKES A MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? VICE PRESIDENT C MAKES A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
