I entered PME as a pre-K student and now I'm in fifth grade.
PME has so much to offer.
They taught me how to be a leader with student council, science council, safety patrol, and girls first.
Even my parents love being involved with my school.
They participate in junior achievement and teach students how to start a business.
The teachers at PME are awesome.
My math and science teacher, Ms. Shearer, is very passionate about teaching and her
love for science makes me want to learn even more.
She loves dinosaurs and she makes me smile walking into her class.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for me in junior high and high school and
KDISD.
Glad to have you.
Ileana, we're so happy to have you here to lead our pledges for our board meeting.
A lot of people here.
Yeah, it's a little bit scary, huh?
I know me too.
But you did so great.
So this is a certificate of recognition for you leading our pledges.
It really should say certificate of bravery for speaking in front of all these people.
This is for you from the school board and this is our gift to you.
It's a very special lunch box.
The only students who have this are people, are students who have led the pledge here.
And that's only about nine or so students every year.
So you are, you can borrow my title.
I call myself K-O-B-D, kind of a big deal, to my family.

mr. president miss Fox thank you very much for bringing this to our discussion
last week I think it's one of the best discussions we've had as a board and I
love the open honest transparent discussion and how we all came together
and I believe we're a stronger board because of it and I appreciate you
helping us get this onto the policy present mr. Mahalski likewise I agree
and appreciate the expediency with getting this policy kind of written and
in front of us so that we can now memorialize it and and we know that we
will uh how we will be going in the future thank you okay and i just got one quick thing i just uh
i know we as a board know this but i think it's important to get it out just exactly since this
is policy what tasby says about boards and passing policy which and this is pulled off their website
and it says what is the primary function of the board and its members governing the school
district is a primary role of a school board school board members are guardians of the public
trust and through the policies which we talked about tonight they make our
ultimate responsible for the success or failures of public local public
education these policies dictate the standards and philosophies by which
schools are run and their criteria used to judge whether they are being run well
and I'll point to our key roles and responsibilities the first one ensure
creation of a vision and goals of the district and evaluate district success
which this policy will help document for everybody to see and the second one adopt
policies that inform district actions so I'm so proud of the board by us taking
this action and hopefully we can continue to improve our policies or
create new ones that make us a stronger board any other discussion are those in
favor raise your right hand and say aye aye those opposed motion passes seven to
zero that moves us to a section 8 informational items donated items to the
Item 8
Katie independent school district I'll refer to the word Doc's for there and
8.2 board member activities updates miss Courtney Doyle you went to the KISD
Education Foundation marketing committee thank you thank you very much I'm sorry
I just seem to have a hard time with my PC tonight. I did the Katy ISD
Education Foundation meeting. We discussed most importantly our upcoming
event which is going to be lovingly named the groove. April 7th is when it's
going to be hosted. That is it was our former jazz fundraiser that the
Education Foundation did. They've named it groove this year. It's changing
So, we're changing locations, actually going to be at the Omni, which they're very excited
about because it's a bigger venue, so we're going to have more people there.
It's always a great event, and in that event, we get to see really the teacher grants and
how those are affecting the students and the teachers across the district.
They are looking for sponsorship, so I would encourage anyone that is able or has a business
that could sponsor that event to do so.
They recently just had reason to race teachers principals sister schools all had
Teams put together had loads of fun raised about twenty thousand dollars toward that event
And they are also considering and in the planning phase of a top golf event so lots coming up with the Education Foundation
Thank you very much. Absolutely. Mr. Adams. You went to the Gulf Coast Association Association of School Boards
yeah Gulf Coast Area Association school boards meeting on February the 10th which we were all
invited to and this is a meeting of the region for board of boards of region 4 which is about
55 districts the purpose of this meeting on this particular time was our grassroots meetings and
by that what we mean is is that they were there to decide about what is going to be our legislative
legislative advocacy for the upcoming year to work with our representatives.
We were very fortunate that night to have several representatives come and speak to us,
Dan Huberty, Mike Schofield, Gilbert Pena, and Ed Thompson,
as well as others that talked about the grassroots.
And it was a great opportunity for us to be able to hear the insight
and what they were talking about basically as finishing up from the previous legislative session.
There are 20 regions in the state of Texas and so these events, these grassroots meetings
happen all over the state of Texas during the spring and this was our turn to have it
on February 10th.
TASB sent representatives there and so we were able to visit and to come together and
talk about the LAC which stands for the Legislative Advocacy Council and to elect our members
of the Legislative Advocacy Council while we were there. Each region has
their own priorities and what happens is that those 20 regions then get together
and and kind of combine their thoughts process and comes up with a list of
priorities in which that we take to the legislature and and get them to act on
or try to get them to act on and we lobby for as as Region IV and then up
through TASB. There were several things that were identified as priorities that
that were considered in the meeting of the advocacy session that we had,
and I'll just list those for you quickly.
The adequacy of funding, school finance equity, the resources for at-risk students,
educationally-slash-economically disadvantaged students and English language learners,
active and retired teacher health programs, education reform legislation, unfunded mandates.
So that was our Region 4 priorities in which we will take up and we'll visit with the other
20, 19 regions around the area.
So we elected 10, we elected 10 representatives from the group that was there.
We had about 115 board members that were there and out of that group, 10 were elected and
they will meet later on with these other regions.
So it was my pleasure to be there representing KDISD and we had a great session and I look
forward to seeing what they turn up at the end as far as what the final recommendations
will be.
Thank you much for representing us.
Items 9 & 10
That brings us to Section 9, Future Meetings.
The Board Works Study Meeting is Monday, March 21, 2016 and the Reg Door Board meeting will
be Monday, March 28, 2016.
Having no further business...
Mr. President.
Mrs. Fox.
Because we have reports, may I ask Mr. Adams a question about the TASB grassroots meeting?
Yes, be careful with the OMA.
But it's a posted agenda item.
It's a posted agenda item.
We've had this discussion, and I've been warned that, yes, you can discuss it,
but you have to be careful with the topic that you ask because the potential is the meeting itself on the agenda.
Okay, so let me clarify, and I'll ask Mr. Adams, too, because of his experience.
So I'm not going to ask anything.
KDISD is going to take action on it.
Something about his role on the TASB board.
That should be fine.
MS.
MS.
Ms. Adams, thank you for your presentation.
I've been to that meeting a few times when they've done that.
So and you're a member of the TASB State Board?
MS.
Correct.
MS.
So my question for you is do you as a TASB board talk about maybe whittling down
that list?
Like I agree with every single thing on that list.
but I saw last year when we as a board adopted a resolution about one thing and
it was testing what an impact that made because we had one unified message
talking to our legislators have you all talked about as a group or maybe your
influence there could talk about when you have a list of 10 or 12 things or so
many things I just feel like it's so broad that legislators get overwhelmed
with things I worried that they'll just toss it on their desk and be like well
the house people are never happy so maybe i just wonder if y'all would talk about two or three
things maybe well uh the purpose of the grassroots is to uh have representation from everywhere from
all the way from west texas and small districts and to bring this on up and to take them all in
and they they do have a number of recommendations which may not be the same as what was recommended
by region 4 and by doing that they do whittle down but may not have 10 we had
10 but they may whittle them down to several but the Texas Association of
school boards certainly encourages districts on their own to talk to
legislators on special items that there may be of interest to them it may be
that adequacy and funding is more important to some districts and others
or it may be that economically disadvantaged students may be more important than others
as far as what their priorities are.
But yes, we have talked about that, and we try to whittle it down.
There are so many things that are out there that we have to rank them.
And then our governmental relations group, Grover Campbell, which you know,
they work very hard in trying to rank those,
and we do look at what we think we can make an influence about at the state level
and serving on that.
And so we have LAC members that serve on the TASB come in and present to us as well.
So, yes, thank you.
That's a very appropriate statement, and we do try to whittle it down.
I appreciate that, and I appreciate you serving on the State Board
and just wanted to give you that feedback to take to your meetings.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you.
And so just a clarification, that question is appropriate, right,
because it's not an action we'll take at this day.
It's a clarification.
Thank you.
Thank you. Any other? Having no further business before the board, this meeting is adjourned at 743.
