Open Forum

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, at this time the Board of Trustees will hear from patrons who wish to speak.

Unknown speaker not human verified

By Board policy, a maximum of 30 minutes have been allotted for this forum.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The time allowed will be divided equally among those requesting to speak.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The maximum amount of time allowed for any one speaker is five minutes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Individuals who have written comments to present to the Board are encouraged to provide the statements to the Assistant Superintendent for School and Community Engagement, Dr. Andrea Grooms, who is seated over here on your right side of the room.

Unknown speaker not human verified

These written statements will be shared with the Board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Due to posting requirements of the OPENS Meetings Act, the Board is only able to respond to a presentation that is directly related to a posted agenda item.

Unknown speaker not human verified

For clarification purposes, the open forum is not a dispute resolution forum.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The Board is not trying to prevent any patron from speaking.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The intent is to redirect patrons to the proper grievance process so that action can be taken

Unknown speaker not human verified

as appropriate.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Employees or members of the public who wish to express complaints about a student matter

Unknown speaker not human verified

or district personnel are reminded that they must follow and exhaust all administrative

Unknown speaker not human verified

remedies prior to presenting complaints to the Board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As I announce your name, please come to the mic and state your name, tell the Board whether

Unknown speaker not human verified

or not you reside in KDISD and whether or not you have children presently enrolled in KDISD.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Tonight we have two speakers so each speaker will be allotted five minutes. When there is

Unknown speaker not human verified

approximately one minute remaining you will get a verbal indication by our Sergeant at Arms,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Courtney Dorr. Our first speaker tonight is Ms. Kim Belcher.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening. My name is Kimberly Belcher. I'm a taxpayer, voter, and parent in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katy Independent School District. I addressed the board tonight to voice my

Unknown speaker not human verified

disappointment in the performance of the board, of trustees, and the superintendent

Unknown speaker not human verified

of our schools. Many of us are still in dismay at the handling of the bond

Unknown speaker not human verified

election as it was a poor showing from what we expect of your leadership. It had

Unknown speaker not human verified

It had to be the worst possible message delivered to my children during their time in public

Unknown speaker not human verified

school.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Your intended roles are to lead us in academic excellence, not coerce the community to agree

Unknown speaker not human verified

with you on every issue.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In my opinion, you all have a greater duty than the average government public servant.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You've accepted responsibility for the education and preparation of our children for their

Unknown speaker not human verified

future roles in our society.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Instead of portraying that image of servitude, you have created a persona among you that

Unknown speaker not human verified

the community is here to follow and serve you as if you somehow know what is best for

Unknown speaker not human verified

everyone rather than representing our voices.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Over a week ago, I sent written communication to the Board regarding Alton Fraley's continued

Unknown speaker not human verified

derogatory comments toward people in the community that disagree with him.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I asked for a reprimand and for you to address your constituents regarding his despicable

Unknown speaker not human verified

behavior.

Unknown speaker not human verified

further I requested that you fully publicize the beam initiative and what it entails for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

students as well as the community I have not received a response to date a week ago today

Unknown speaker not human verified

I began contacting I began contacting mr. Fraley's office requesting a meeting to follow up to his

Unknown speaker not human verified

state of the district address particularly as it pertains to comments that he made about the beam

Unknown speaker not human verified

initiative I received a response from his secretary that she would put me in

Unknown speaker not human verified

touch with one of the senior staff members after the holidays I don't want

Unknown speaker not human verified

a senior staff member mr. Fraley made those comments and I would like for him

Unknown speaker not human verified

to address them personally in the interim I've gained support from other

Unknown speaker not human verified

parents in the district that would like to hear from him as well our children

Unknown speaker not human verified

have been subjected to psychological profiling through the Gallup survey that

Unknown speaker not human verified

is reportedly the initiation phase of the beam initiative parents were not notified nor were they

Unknown speaker not human verified

asked your permission nor would they ask their permission for their children to participate in

Unknown speaker not human verified

these questionnaires i've seen the questionnaires mr friday it is imperative that the district

Unknown speaker not human verified

immediately notify the parents that their children are taking part in these surveys

Unknown speaker not human verified

it is imperative that the district immediately cease and desist use of this survey and any other

Unknown speaker not human verified

portion of the program until parental permission is obtained and

Unknown speaker not human verified

notification is provided. We expect that you provide full disclosure regarding

Unknown speaker not human verified

the program to include the source of the curriculum or activities and the survey,

Unknown speaker not human verified

identify how the data is stored, identify how the data will be used, publish the

Unknown speaker not human verified

teaching materials and any related curriculum activities or information

Unknown speaker not human verified

pertaining to this program. The data is associated with student electronic IDs

Unknown speaker not human verified

so it's impossible for you to state to us that the results of those surveys are not linked to our children.

Unknown speaker not human verified

KISD has taken many liberties that are a gross misuse of its powers.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Failure to respond swiftly and promptly to these requests will ensure public attention that the district would surely rather avoid.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In order to avoid any further outcry from us, answers to all of these concerns should be provided to all parents before the district breaks for Thanksgiving.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The seats that you occupy, they belong to the people.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The government was intended to work for the people, not vice versa.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you fail to acknowledge that and act upon it accordingly,

Unknown speaker not human verified

we will assure you that you will be relieved of your duties

Unknown speaker not human verified

and our next possible opportunity to unseat you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you for your time.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Our next speaker this evening is Mr. Derek Alfonso.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board, and hello to parents and interested

Unknown speaker not human verified

parties.

Unknown speaker not human verified

My name is Derek Alfonso.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I've lived in Katy, Texas since 2006.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I have two children that have attended Wood Creek Elementary, currently attend Wood Creek

Unknown speaker not human verified

Elementary, Windbourne Elementary in the past, and Morton Ranch Junior High currently.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm a former Lieutenant Colonel of the United States Marine Corps in Signals Intelligence.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm a proud Watch Dogs dad, very cool program.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I served on the Memorial Mud Board, which is a municipal utility district in Katy, Texas

Unknown speaker not human verified

off of West Green as an elected official for eight years.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In that position I worked with Katy ISD and the Jeanette Hayes Elementary School PTA to

Unknown speaker not human verified

provide financing in excess of $100,000 for their playground.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I am extremely familiar with board operations and all that good stuff

Unknown speaker not human verified

No one here will be surprised I think

Unknown speaker not human verified

certainly the parents

Unknown speaker not human verified

More than I was and I think I think you guys will be surprised

Unknown speaker not human verified

That our children can be questioned while in the custody of a law enforcement official KDI SD police

Unknown speaker not human verified

Without the guardians being notified or without special allowance from a judge such as the appointment of a magistrate

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is known as the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The U.S. Constitution grants this right and quite simply it states, no person shall be

Unknown speaker not human verified

compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against him or herself.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ultimately that led to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1966 case of Miranda v. Arizona, which is

Unknown speaker not human verified

where Miranda writes that we've all heard, come from, you have the right to remain silent

Unknown speaker not human verified

and so on.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When police officers question a suspect in custody without first giving the Miranda warning,

Unknown speaker not human verified

any statement from that witness or that person can't be used in the court of law.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It gets thrown out.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I fully support school officials, the principals, counselors, vice principals, in questioning children.

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's part of their job.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They are not law enforcement officials.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They need to send them to in-school suspension.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They need to decide about suspensions, expulsions, whatever.

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's not a criminal case, but when it's a criminal case and you have a

Unknown speaker not human verified

KD ISD police officer who's wearing a taser or a gun and they're in a closed office

Unknown speaker not human verified

Questioning a child that's a different story

Unknown speaker not human verified

There was a case last week involving two KD ISD campuses where two 12 year old girls and a six year old sibling

Unknown speaker not human verified

Were questioned regarding an ongoing investigation in all three interviews

Unknown speaker not human verified

The child was placed in an office with a school official and a police officer and questioned without being Mirandized

Unknown speaker not human verified

and without parents being notified. As a matter of fact, the vice principal at one of the schools

Unknown speaker not human verified

is glad to come on the record and let everybody here know out loud that he was told to not call

Unknown speaker not human verified

the parents until the child had been taken off campus to KDISD in custody.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In March 23, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court heard JDB v. North Carolina, which led to the decision

Unknown speaker not human verified

that police must take a person's age into account when determining whether

Unknown speaker not human verified

the circumstances of a case merit Miranda notification. The case the court

Unknown speaker not human verified

ruled upon involved a 13 year old boy whom the police suspected of involvement

Unknown speaker not human verified

with two burglaries. A police officer went to his school, removed him from

Unknown speaker not human verified

class and placed him in a conference room with the door closed and two school

Unknown speaker not human verified

administrators present. Very similar to what happened last week on three

Unknown speaker not human verified

separate occasions. The officer did not give the boy a Miranda warning or inform

Unknown speaker not human verified

him that he could leave the room at any time prior to the beginning of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

questioning. After the boy admitted to the participation in the burglaries,

Unknown speaker not human verified

however, the officer then told the boy that he could refuse to answer questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

and leave whenever he wanted. The boy had stayed and provided further detail about

Unknown speaker not human verified

the crimes. The Supreme Court held that the trial judge improperly denied

Unknown speaker not human verified

the boy's request to throw out the statements he made to police because he

Unknown speaker not human verified

did not receive the proper Miranda notification. The court recognized the

Unknown speaker not human verified

fact because of their relative immaturity and lack of experience,

Unknown speaker not human verified

children quote cannot be viewed simply as miniature adults end quote. Here's

Unknown speaker not human verified

what it all really boils down to. It boils down to when is the child quote in

Unknown speaker not human verified

custody. Right? As an adult if a police officer walks up to you and asks you a

Unknown speaker not human verified

question your response is voluntary. You know better right? Against self

Unknown speaker not human verified

incrimination. But when the vice principal or the principal or counselor

Unknown speaker not human verified

counselor calls you down, you're inside their office, and a police officer walks in, you

Unknown speaker not human verified

don't have the reasonable expectation as a child that you can get up and walk away.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that a child is in custody when, quote, there is

Unknown speaker not human verified

no reasonable expectation from the child that they may leave uninhibited.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Many of us have been to the principal or vice principal's office at one time or another

Unknown speaker not human verified

in our lives maybe when we were growing up without a law enforcement official

Unknown speaker not human verified

without a law enforcement official in the office right i've never been in an office official

Unknown speaker not human verified

mr affonzo if you would give me those written remarks like all those police chief would

Unknown speaker not human verified

appreciate that i think that the parents would really appreciate it there's only two speakers

Unknown speaker not human verified

and you have 30 minutes allotted i can finish in about three or four minutes at the most if you

Unknown speaker not human verified

on mine. May I have your written comments please so I can review

Unknown speaker not human verified

them with my chief please? Thanks.

Board packet · 56 documents

The district's own backup material for this agenda, retrieved from BoardDocs. Each file was checked against the size BoardDocs states for it.

This speaker is named from the district’s own record of who was present and from the presiding officer naming them on the recording. The question mark means the block of speech may not be only theirs: the recording was divided by machine, and a long stretch can run two voices together.

If this is wrong, please tell us and it will be corrected on the record. Contact us.
