Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to the Texas, one state, under God, one and invisible.
Hey folks, this is Ms. Jordan Holly.

She's a with Dr. Anne Lilleen as the principal there.
And she's a proud daughter of Ms. Dara Holly, she's here.
And she has a, she has some sisters, Max and Billy Ray.

She seems excited about that.
All right.
Jordan likes to draw, she likes to sing,
and she likes to help people.
Her favorite subjects are math and science.
And this is what Mrs. Cruz says about you, Jordan.
Ready for this?
One could not ask for a better student than Jordan.
She strives for excellence daily and positively
follows wherever she goes.
It is evident by her actions that she
cares deeply for others.
She is currently a member of our safety patrol
role and is an amazing role model for our kinder buddies. Whether she is setting an
example for others or cheering a friend up who is down, Jordan definitely has the power
to touch the lives and hearts of all that she encounters. I have no doubt that she will
continue to do great things both now and in the future. And Mrs. B. Yorkman says this,
well, Jordan is a bright student. She is dedicated to every subject and she never gives up.
Jordan, Holly, welcome, glad to see you.

Good evening, Mr. President, Board Members, and Superintendent Fraley.
For our first recognition this evening, we have a very special guest with us, KDISD namesake
Mr. Gerald D. Young.
Young was recently selected as one of only six individuals nationwide for the 2014 National
Association of Agricultural Educators Lifetime Achievement Award. Throughout
his career in Texas agricultural education, Young was instrumental in
providing professional development opportunities and resources to
instructors to keep Texas agricultural education programs on the cutting edge
and meet the demands of employers, colleges, and students. At this time
please join me in congratulating Mr. Gerald D. Young.
All of the KDISD FFA chapters would also like to present Mr. Young with a gift at this time.
When I came in, I've never been accused of being the sharpest pencil in the box.
But when I came in, I saw the ag teachers, and I clipped their hands, and I saw the ag students.
I said, oh, good.
I'm going to be recognized, and they're going to be recognized because of the shows this week.
And then after I get in here, they said, you realize these young people and the teachers are here for you.
So I just want to let you know I've had a lot of proud moments,
but this is the most proud I've ever been, being a teacher.
Mr. President.
Ms. Fox.
Excuse me, please.
Mr. Young, thank you so much for your gift to our district
and the legacy that you have left,
represented by the many, many students around this room
wearing those jackets and the creation they made for you,
that I would like to put my name in for one of those but many many of our
buildings around our district carry names of people who have lived lives of
integrity and honor and service without regard for personal gain and it's an
honor sir to have your name on our on our building associated with KDSD thank
you for your service
The Ford Leadership Scholar Program is a result of the Texas FFA Foundation, Ford Division,
and Texas Ford Dealers Partnership to enhance the leadership opportunities of Texas FFA
members.
Each year, the Ford Leadership Scholar Program selects 10 students from across the state
to participate in the program.
And last year, Katy High School's Caleb Dautrich was selected as a scholar.
As part of the program, Dostrick attended a week of special leadership training in Austin this past summer,
met regularly with a mentor, and was asked to complete a community service project. For his project,
Dostrick acquired a $20,000 donation from Centerpoint Energy and received approval from the City Council to build an arboretum in one of the city's
community parks this spring. In
addition to enhancing his leadership skills, Dostrick will also receive a $1,000 scholarship from Texas Ford Dealers by participating in this program.
Please join me in congratulating Caleb Dostrick.
Congratulations on your achievement.

an honor to be able to introduce you to our all state dance team members tonight I'd like to
recognize those who served that purpose in representing the school in the 2015
TDEA or Dance Educators Association Conference. These students have competed
against students from across the state and showed themselves week in and week out

over 64,000 students in the competitions and the 36 will present to you tonight
will be representing those who represented Katy ISD just this past
weekend they were involved in concerts just on Saturday we were thankful that
we had Monday as a holiday I like to give the board a little bit of tidbits
about the group that you're going to meet and one of the board members even
said they look forward to this part of it each year. For those of you that are
in the audience, we do have some data for you. For SAT data, the perfect score is
2400 with all three tests combined. The national average SAT test scores are
1497. The Texas average test scores, all state scores, is a 1432. Those students
Students who participated and earned positions in the Texas All-State groups, band, orchestra,
choir and jazz band.
Average test score was 1844, which is 347 points above the national average and 412
points above the Texas state average.
It seems to me that apparently that practice and work thing must hook up somewhere with
the music, so we do appreciate that.
I do have some more information to you that I will give to you at another time.
We had fewer students this year that actually done the SAT from Katie
So I didn't want to give you skewed data on it
But I will tell you and we promised the parents and the student but one of our all-staters had a perfect score on the ACT
test
So that's quite an accomplishment
board members in the package that you received also there's three articles that I thought that you might like to have and share because I know
You could ask my questions for many people and those are just for your information
And so we hope that you take the time to read those

The maximum amount of time allowed for any one speaker is five minutes
Individuals who have written comments to present to the border and curse to provide the statements to the assistant superintendent for school and community engagement
Dr. Andrea grooms who is seated to your right?
These written statements will be shared with the board due to posting requirements of the open meetings act
The board is only able to respond to a presentation that is directly related to a posted agenda item
For clarification purposes, the open forum is not a dispute resolution forum.
The Board is not trying to prevent any patron from speaking.
The intent is to redirect patrons to the proper grievance process so that action can be taken as appropriate.
Employees or members of the public who wish to express complaints about a student matter or district personnel
are reminded that they must follow and exhaust all administrative remedies prior to presenting complaints to the Board.

Item 8
Okay, we do have one
Discussion action item on the agenda, but I believe we will only be discussing tonight. Is that correct? That's correct. Okay
Welcome mrs. Stevenson
Good evening. President Mohoski, board members, Superintendent Fraley, we are bringing one contract forward for you to review this evening, and that is the proposal for network and wireless electronics.
This is the hardware that goes with the e-rate services and the other contracts that we brought forward to you at the last meeting.
This hardware will be installed throughout the district.
The determination of the hardware that was needed was based on the contracts for the services that we presented to you at the last meeting.
Because of the complex nature of the network and the equipment thereof,
we engage the services of education partner solution to provide the
specifications based on the infrastructure design and review the
proposals that were submitted and after reviewing both of the proposals that
were submitted the recommendation is to award to Presidio both of the suppliers
that bid were Cisco qualified providers and integrators and however Presidio
offered the best overall pricing and also should be noted that the pricing
that we're presenting includes the SmartNet, which is the product support services. There's also
contingency allowance built in for any unanticipated needs that we may run into as this
equipment is installed. The installation will begin after July 1st, 2015, which is the effective date
of all E-rate contracts that we have awarded this year and will be completed by September 1st of
2016 the total cost is six million nine hundred seventy five thousand seven
hundred and seventy seven dollars and 58 cents and it is included in the 2014
bond fund however the district will seek a right funding for any qualified
hardware that we install thank you Stevenson there any questions mr.
president mr. Griffin I just like to make a quick statement about the
internet service that we provide our students really quickly i just worked a trip this weekend
with a young man that students went to st louis and we were talking about some of the things that
we have available to us here at katie and uh they do no internet work at the school that his child
went to he pulled his child or two children out of public school to go to a private school and
And based upon the discussions that we had, they're moving their family from St. Louis to Houston to take advantage of the systems that we're talking about here.
So we're talking about why do we get 3,000 kids moving in here?
It's these programs that we provide our students.
And his first comment was, wow, so your kids are prepared to go out into the world.
I said, yes, we are.
Nice.
Okay.
Am I correct?
That this will actually be an action item at the work-study meeting next month. That is correct
That's correct. So that needs to be awarded because of the e-rate deadlines of the e-rate deadline
So we were having the discussion tonight and then it will come back and I guess we all have a discussion action item on the
In the work-study on March 16. Okay, so mr. President Sparks. I appreciate very much the
administration especially superintendent Fraley's
Up to us in this area when he brings us
ideas and let's us give gives us time to work on them all over them ask our
questions make sure we've we are comfortable with all the data before
being asked to vote and so while this is a little bit out of what we normally do
it's in keeping with exactly the way that mr. Fraley brings us items to
consider for votes all the time and so I appreciate that much president Mahalski
this will be a consent item on the next agenda item on the next okay instead of
an action item okay thank you very much
okay trustees I will point you to the information item portion of our agenda
Items 9 & 10
which has the donated items to Katy Independent School District report and
at this time I'm also going to recognize mrs. Fox who has I guess a donation to
to talk about.
MS.
I do.
Thank you very much, Mr. President.
So our Board is continually pursuing excellence in being a Board member.
And by doing so, we go to lots and lots of trainings that people know nothing about.
And that's good because we keep up on the latest educational issues that face us in
the state and in the nation.
And so we do those several times a year where we travel to do them, and then we do them
around the region and so we attend one that's called the Gulf Coast Area
Association Association of School Boards meeting it's not easy to do it's lots of
ugly traffic and it's late nights but we do that and we keep abreast of things
that are happening and so that happened last Wednesday night and so we're in the
room with other trustees and superintendents and educational leaders
from around region 4. Something else I think is very interesting is region 4 is responsible for
20 percent, one-fifth of the state's population of students, which is about a million students
from our area, a million plus students from Texas was represented in that room every month.
And they give out scholarships just randomly with the drawing and happy to report KDSD
about $500 as a scholarship to contribute to our fund.
And I'm happy to present that.
And it rarely happens.
We go for the training, and we came out
with something good for KDSD.
And so I know we'll put this to good use for students.
And I just wanted to recognize that, and also
for the thanks for the support of this board.
Because we go, and while all of us can't go every time,
we continually go.
and I like to see that this board is so focused on being the most informed and
Very involved trustees, and I think it shows them the excellence we give our kids and I appreciate mr.
Adams stepping up and giving his leadership to the state board a secretary. He's very respected and we're thankful that you're there
Thank You mrs. Fox and could I get the check to mr. Smith, okay
It's not eight million
It's not eight million dollars, but for refunding
Wow if you have a check for mr.. Smith he will fall over for it
Good to know
Okay
Our future board meetings we will have our
March board work-study meeting on Monday March 16th and our regular board meeting on Monday March 30th
So there's a week in between this time
2015 and there being no further business. We are adjourned at 736 up 737 p.m.
