5:47 Unknown speaker not human verified

Welcome, we're so glad you're here. Didn't get a break in the summer, huh? Okay, at this time, we are very pleased to have our report from the robotics team. So our presenters this night are from Cinco Ranch High School, Morton Ranch High School, Seven Lakes High School, Taylor High School, and Tompkins High School. Mr. Mike Outlaw, Team 634, you're an adult member, adult mentor for this robotics team. We'd love to hear from you. Good evening.

6:29 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right.

6:32 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, well thank you board members, Madam President, and Mr. Gunnell for letting the robotics team come and discuss and actually brag and celebrate on the accomplishments of this year and also offer our thanks for the support we receive. I'm really proud to be here because we've had a tremendously successful year for KDISD Robotics. And we talk about it now in terms of the overall group of robotics teams that we have, with the five teams there. It's been a groundbreaking year for all of the robotics, with some major accomplishments. And you're going to hear about a lot of those from our students tonight. But I'd just like to point out a few of them myself. One is our first full year in the Robert Shaw Center for STEAM. and that's just been a fantastic experience for all of us and it's caught the attention of groups well beyond just just our teams and KDISD. We've had you know the five high schools that you mentioned representing FIRST Robotics working together at the RSC to bring about the the sharing and ideas of equipment learnings in the building of the robots that you see here here today and you can see that the students take very different approaches to accomplish the same tasks and that's what we really were looking for and we've got that and you see three very different designs here all geared around playing the same game and accomplishing the same same task. All the teams participated in competitions this year, multiple competitions for some we were in and we had teams to go to San Antonio, our team went to Huntsville, the team 624 went to Huntsville, Alabama and participated in one there and then we all attended the Lone Star. So it's really neat to have all five teams in the same regional playing against each other and with each other throughout the days there at the Lone Star regional played in downtown Houston. We continue to have tremendous sponsorship support with all the teams, self-funding the teams as you know and by bringing in a large cross-section of KD businesses and support as I think you've heard and recognized and we can talk about that and you can see that some of the sponsors own the robots themselves and then others we'd certainly like to share that with you. But it's not just a sponsorship it's been the student leadership that's brought together the ideas and the activities and the processes that have led to the robots you see here and the sponsorship and the mentor support that has come in to help train emphasize the real world world stem activities and put those tools in the students hands to accomplish and achieve what you see here this success has been will come out in detail in the following presentations from the students but it wouldn't but it hasn't ended yet we've gone through the the regionals and the championships, but now we're back into the building of what's going to happen for the remainder of the summer and through next year. We're going to carry on the learnings and bringing on the next classes of students into the STEAM world and into the robotics elements that we help use to demonstrate STEAM. The seniors now have moved on to their education and the universities they selected. I will say that for Cinco Ranch, Team 624, we had 100% of our seniors choose a technical field of some kind and pursue that in their college careers and the universities they head on to. The competition will go on. We just this past weekend had the Texas Robot Invitational at Strait Jesuit High School put on by Strait. And we had the teams you see here represented there. It was a fun time. We we placed all the way up through semifinals with some of our teams and and had a great one We're next up is a for team 64 specifically. We got invited back to the Indianapolis Regional so we're going back to Indianapolis Robotics Invitational in middle of July and then shortly after that at the end of July is the UIL sponsored Texas Robot Roundup in in Austin and we'll have teams and lots of volunteers, both from adult and alumni student volunteers helping out in Austin at that event. So that UIL umbrella which Robotics is coming under now, this will be the first time and the first event that will be underneath that umbrella. We're really excited about making that happen and watching the success and growth of that effort. And specifically we want to thank KISD for all of the support and recognition of the program. Our position is a growing program. It's recognized in the first organization and first has chosen Houston to be the location of the 2017 through 2020 World Championships for Robotics. So George R. Brown will have 30,000 screaming robotics fans and 400 robotics teams next April here in town. And one of the things they are looking for is support from the local teams. And with our presence in the area, they are certainly turning to us. It's also going to be a chance. I've already had several teams send in a request that they want tours and to see our STEAM Center as well. So we'll make a worldwide presence and a worldwide audience. what we have done what we're accomplishing here so really the words are going to be in the students i think that's where the words the students say will only in more discussion and really show you the support and so at this point i'd like to bring in john cigarro of the tompkins high school

12:25 Unknown speaker not human verified

Hi, I'm John Segura from Tompkins. I'm here to represent team 5427. This last year was our first birthday year and this is our second year building robots. We've accomplished first first place in one competition and in our last two competitions we did very well. At Lone Star Regional we placed top 20 out of 56 schools and in the last competition we were sixth place. So we've been doing pretty good for just starting out and it's a lot of work. One thing we were like really proud of is the RSC. It's something that we we really use a lot more than you know we thought we would because it's something that's massive. I mean it's there's a lot of money into it and we're there every day that we can using all of the equipment that you've provided us thank you very much for that it's been a huge help from going from a garage to this giant building that we're using that's really all I have to say is thank you for allowing us to have this privilege robotics is something that's important to me because it's it's got me interested in so many things like engineering wise that's about it anyway up next is seven lakes Arjuna I think I said that right

14:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right. Hey, I'm Arjun Palat representing team 4639 from Seven Lakes High School. This was our club's fourth year in existence and one of the greatest years we've ever had going up the ladder each year and not only in competition but also in outreach events. We've had three successful outreach events this year and one of them was hosting a large group of Girl Scouts in the STEM Center and another one was with elementary students at our Bay at the STEAM Center. We also had a Lego robotics night at Alexander Elementary giving them an experience to work with the robot and build versions of it with Lego. We had an open house event at the STEAM Center for junior high and high school students giving them a demonstration of how our club functions and how we we perform at the STEAM Center. And this has improved our, this has increased our club membership by 25%. And we have had an excellent set of active mentors that helped guide us technically throughout the year. We've had great success this year with the two big competitions at Alamo and Lone Star, making it to the quarterfinals both times. And we've had great success with what could not have been achieved without the STEAM Center. Thank you again for the STEAM Center and the space given to us gave us a lot of opportunity to work and collaborate with other teams and we would also like to thank our sponsors from Bechtel, GE, Nalco, and Texas Workforce. And next I would like to call upon Ms. Haidt from Martin Ranch.

16:26 Unknown speaker not human verified

I my student wasn't able to make it tonight so I have nothing written down to say I do want to say is that we don't have a lot of mentors who come in and help us at Morton and being able to go to the steam Center and having a group like Cinco Ranch with their mentors to help us has been amazing because it gives us that collaboration to where we're not stuck at our school and we are missing a part and I can go to Cinco and say can y'all help us and they're immediately there so I think it the STEAM Center is really helpful in seeing the schools collaborate and help each other and understand it's not all about beating the other schools but it's also about helping each other I think that's the best thing about it we appreciate it thank you and oops got today Jack Samson is now going to talk to you from Cinco Ranch High School

17:24 Unknown speaker not human verified

I was not expecting to be speaking with a swollen mouth due to complications from wisdom teeth surgery. So if you don't mind, I'll be keeping my remarks short. My name is Jack Sampson. I am the outgoing president of Team 624. This year, Team 624 attended three regionals. We started out with the Alamo Regional in San Antonio, where we made it to the finals. We then went to, as Mr. Outlaw mentioned, the Huntsville Rocket City Regional in Alabama, where we made it to the semifinals. and finally the Lone Star Regional here in Houston where we made it to the semifinals again. Now while we weren't able to make a trip to World Championships this year, 624 experienced a massive growth in student involvement and off-season activities this year. Seldom a weekend went by during the off-season where the RSC's conference rooms weren't filled with students learning about CAD programming, digital animation, basically anything that can be involved in robotics we had students there learning about it at the RSC pretty much any day of the week to put a number on it we had logged from our students this year over 15,000 hours of robotics which equates to about 620 days of robotics from our students this increased interest in science and technology can largely be attributed to Katie's Katie ISD's continued dedication to STEM education which is epitomized through the Robert Shaw STEAM Center I would have to say that based on those numbers that I gave you I would consider it my home away from home I'd like to thank each and every member of this board for your continued support without your help the amazing things that were accomplished this year would not be possible lastly first robotics in Texas will be moving towards a new model of organization called the district model in the coming years. This district model has been proven to increase the amount of involvement and we'll see a lot more teams popping up around the state. As a lot of these school districts look to have more robotics in their curriculum they'll be looking towards role models such as Katy ISD who already have such an established program and I'm definitely proud to call a district like Katy ISD that's so dedicated to STEM education my home. At this time I'd like to invite mr. Josh McDonald from a Creek High School well good evening and thank

19:58 Unknown speaker not human verified

you for your time tonight I would like to say thank you for the support of Katie ISD as May Creek May Creek High School will be the first or the newest robotics program here in Katie ISD we're actually getting started so I don't have a team team number to throw out there tonight, and I'm sorry for that. But we are working on getting ours. And really what I would just like to share is what we're seeing from our students in this startup process on the front end. It's really giving students who don't normally have a place to shine, a place to shine. We broadcast it out there. We had a student enrollment, or a student interest meeting right before the end of the school year. And we were able to get 40 students who were interested in things like website design, photography, video editing, programming, building. We have many different fields that students that normally are just kind of quiet and shy we saw come alive in that student meeting and they're very interested. We've been able to develop relationships with companies and professional mentors and we're excited to see, especially with the support of the other robotics programs here in KDISD, what the future holds for us. So thank you for your continued support of this and go Roborams.

21:08 Unknown speaker not human verified

Hi, I'm Steve Adams, the facility coordinator of the Robert Shaw Center. I feel a bit like an outsider, but I've been in KDSD education for 18 years now, and I'd like to start by saying thank you to the board for your support of the Shaw Center and by extension the robotics clubs. I mentioned that I've been in KDISD 18 years for the reason that I think from my perspective robotics is the embodiment of what true education should be and having been around the district a lot there are certain key phrases I've heard over the years that I think this is the perfect example of these phrases such as our Wi-Fi password one KDISD I mean these student these clubs are working in proximity and helping each other it's one Katie ISD may Creek is coming on board one Katie ISD another key phrase I've heard over the years is unparalleled learning experiences I mean I I was trying to think well how am I going to remember to describe that and I just my mind goes around the center I look I think of the back part where they're working on plasma cutters and these large mills I mean that's that's an unparalleled learning experience or in the bays where they're working on electronics manufacturing where you have mentors from these companies working directly with students that's unparalleled learning experiences and then back to the classroom I'm glad Jack mentioned this I mean to see that classroom just constantly filled with kids working on CAD with their programs or to look up on the wall that they can write on and see programming code written or one time to my shame I had to ask what what math is that and it was trig. They had trig all over here and they're trying to target their robots. So I mean just really unparalleled learning experiences. I think it represents the cornerstones we're familiar with like collaboration, communication. The one that kind of makes me chuckle is problem-solving. It seems like that's all they do. They always have some big problem with their robot, always. It's like and it's the day before competition but somehow they work it out. It's all about problem-solving and then lastly the way what I'd like to conclude with was a phrase to create the future I don't think I think that speaks for itself what you've heard tonight so thank you very much to the board for supporting the Shaw Center and the robotics program

23:38 Unknown speaker not human verified

thank you we're gonna see a presentation in just a minute let me have a few comments from board members anybody I'll lead us off then I thought I just wrote right here what all you incredible students were talking you just inspire me you inspire all of us and we're excited about the future because of you and I've been there and I've watched you work and I've seen the robots over the years and I saw where kryptonite how was where they called home before the Shaw center was in a strip mall next to a nail salon and now I see where you are and I see that wall of windows that was created in mind at the very beginning it was window so no someone might see you know we have to and then it became no we want them to see the collaboration that happens the creativity that happens by having windows and great big doors in a common area where you all come together because together we're better and I see you mentoring young clubs so excited to see made Creek joining can't wait till we have every high school represented I know that's the goal and we're excited about that we talk all the time about you know wow that was so cool to have the idea of the Shaw Center and we built it too small from the beginning but we had no idea we had no idea what you you would do. We talked about they're going to create things we haven't even imagined, and we just didn't realize how quickly it would happen. We just came back from a summer leadership institute, SLI, where school boards around Texas come together. Thousands of us come together, and we look for what's the new creative thing happening? What are the new laws governing? You know, we do workshops to figure out our roles as trustees. and everywhere we turned people talked about the Shaw Center. Be like, oh, you're from Katy. We came to see your Shaw Center. We came to see your STEAM Center. And so you guys are talked about around the state, right? The seven of us are all about opportunities for you guys, opportunities for students. What can we give them? Where can we give them a chance to collaborate, create, and communicate? communicate and then let you guys show us what that what you can do and this is one of those areas at the Shaw Center where we're just so stinking proud of you and Mr. Shaw many of you probably never met mr. Shaw he sat at this table with us for 15 years he volunteered his time as a trustee he worked in the engineering field and And he would have loved to see what you're doing. And so his creativity and his ideas and his foundation that he built that was all about student success is what caused us to name that, the Robert Shaw Center. And I just know he's smiling down and proud of what you've done. And we're grateful for you guys. Anybody else? I talked too long I said it all so we want to see so we've seen you do frisbees we've seen you do basketballs we saw you load those humongous crates last year so this year let's see what you got

27:39 Unknown speaker not human verified

We're all so incredibly proud of the mentors and the adults that you guys inspire them and you show them that they can do anything, right? They inspire you too. Thanks for being a part of that because I know you guys are volunteers and we appreciate

27:58 Unknown speaker not human verified

you

27:59 Unknown speaker not human verified

tell us before you forget I want mr. good now to talk about an award that the Shaw Center is about we've won several awards but he has something an update I

28:08 Unknown speaker not human verified

wanted him to share with you I do and we received from architectural firm notice recently and the architect firm is Stan tech and it says I am excited to share with you that the robert shaw center has been selected as a finalist for the association for learning environments mcconnell award which may not mean a lot to many of you but the association i talked about is also a short the short term is a school building association so it's an international award there are three finalists left the shaw center is one of those finalists and it's the pinnacle award for school buildings so thanks for animating that building and getting us the opportunity to come up with a a great uh great way to sell it to those who are new to it i think we'll know at the annual meeting in october

29:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

30:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

Shake it up.

30:30 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

31:22 Unknown speaker not human verified

I feel like the barrier is buried. I'm gonna check it out.

31:54 Unknown speaker not human verified

Switching the battery.

32:48 Unknown speaker not human verified

Can we get a picture with all the robotics members here?

32:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

33:58 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

34:36 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

34:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

I want to control it.

35:27 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

36:22 Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

36:27 Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, Board members, at this time I will draw your attention to the consent agenda, and the Board will entertain a motion.

36:36 Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President. Mr. DeBrell. I move that the Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in items 6.1 through 6.10.

36:47 Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a motion by Mr. DeBrell, a second by Ashley Vann that the Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in item 6.1 through 6.10. All in favor raise your right hand and say aye. Motion passes six to zero. Okay we do have one discussion action item this evening and it's the board approval or denial of a request for waiver of penalty and interest on property taxes. Mr. Smith is here if we need him. Mr. Scott do you have a question? No is he going to make a presentation first no I think we've what do you think do you have anything new to

37:25 Unknown speaker not human verified

present we have heard it I do not have anything really new I did do some investigation and I'll quote from from where property taxes is only allowed to be waived if an act or omission of an officer employee or agent of the taxing unit or the appraisal district in which the taxing unit participates also resulted in the taxpayers failure to pay the tax before delinquency and if the taxes paid not later than the 21st day after the day the taxpayer knows or should not know of the delinquency or should know of the delinquency I'm sorry and based on that and there there was no evidence that Waller County or Fort Bend tax office made an error of such and therefore according to way I read it it

38:14 Unknown speaker not human verified

should not be waived mr. Scott I know that the Board of Trustees deny the request of waiver of penalty and interest on property taxes of a motion

38:29 Unknown speaker not human verified

to mr. Scott a second by mr. deBrell that the Board of Trustees denies the request for waiver of penalty and interest on property taxes any

38:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

discussion mr. Scott the one I don't know if it's our position to do this but But my checking with probably the number one expert in the state of Texas, former chief appraiser Jim Robinson, suggested that that family might want to consider looking at the first mortgage company for recovery. I'm not giving legal advice. I'm just passing on what a very knowledgeable person in the property tax industry said. But clearly, I think this is the right decision.

39:12 Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay. No further discussion. We'll proceed to vote. All in favor, raise your right hand to say aye. Aye. Six to zero. My request has been approved six to zero. Okay. We'll move to item 8.1, discuss the naming of the student activity facility second stadium. We had this this as a discussion item at our work study last week and we began just some general ideas. And here is, as is usually the practice when we start talking about ideas, our fantastic administration gets right to work and brings us some, our CWO local policy talks about making specific guidelines when we're considering naming this facility and Mr. Gunnell, you've worked on that give us an update please be happy to first time we talked about

40:09 Unknown speaker not human verified

this was last week we talked about it in an open session and after that we went to work a little bit took a look at the CW local policy which says the for naming for a major donor the board shall consider naming a facility or portion facility in honor of a major donor specific this district guidelines shall be developed and what you have in front of you what i just passed out and it's fresh fresh off the presses as of 1710 or 510 this evening is a is a draft charter for for your review and your discussion tonight it's common that we have charters when we when we go into committees we certainly do them for the bond committee bond review committee many other things and the purpose that we have here and again this is a draft the purpose of the student activities center Second Stadium Naming Committee is to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives included but not limited to selling of naming rights consistent with board policy and to make a recommendation naming the facility. The organization as laid out here is comprised of 10 members including a senior administrator, pre-KDISD trustees appointed by the board president, the committee chairs appointed by the board president, and in addition to the trustees, one senior leader, community leader from the board. the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce, the Katy Area Economic Development Council, Partners in Education, Community Bond Committee, Katy ISD Namesake, and Council of PTAs. With an objective as laid out here of recommending a naming rights sponsor and or stadium name prior to November 2016. In CW Local, it also calls us to call out a couple things. One is the level of monetary donations as well as the appropriateness of sponsors you'll find that in the duties and responsibilities the duties and responsibilities come to the committee shall include exploring the options for selling naming stadium naming rights providing guns guidance to the administration and criteria relevant to the solicitation of a naming rights sponsor the level of a monetary donation should be at least comparable to similar other districts that have granted naming rights via sponsorships review of potential sponsor proposals for naming naming rights. Bringing forward the Board of Trustees naming recommendation and its sponsors must be appropriate for the venue and good corporate citizenship are required in keeping with district policies. As far as district support, the general manager for special events, reservations and marketing shall serve as the administration's liaison. That's Mr. Ben Rollins. And that's the general skeleton of the charter that I that I drafted over the last week and president mr. DeBrow mr. Gunnell if

43:00 Unknown speaker not human verified

we chose to go down the road of naming rights selling the naming rights who within the administration could we charge with the due to due diligence on that company their financial ability to be around for that period of time clear research of their business practices to make sure we don't have an Enron

43:23 Unknown speaker not human verified

situation pop up or something that that was one of my concerns as well you know we we've only been talking about this for for a week or so one of the reasons that you know we we would look at someone for example purchasing to help that any proposals that come in certainly if you have a long-term commitment you want to make sure they have the financial resources to do that so what the first thing we'd have to do is figure out you know what what are we looking for as far as the parts of the proposal to make sure that that it's somebody who's going to be with us a long time and somebody that really meets the flavor of of Katie ISD so we think those both things both those things are important we think they'll be hashed out in committee

44:14 Unknown speaker not human verified

MS.

44:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. DeBrell, I think part of the answer to your question is the people who are recommended here certainly have a lot of exposure to businesses and also the community values that our community has when you look at the, you know, committee members that are recommended from the EDC and the Chamber and business partnerships that we have within KDISD. We've got a lot of those people represented here that would have access to information.

44:43 Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, I mean, and I respect their input, but I think of the stadium in Denver, the Broncos place, Sports Authority Stadium. Sports Authority is in bankruptcy. Can they continue to pay that amount to the Broncos for the naming of that stadium? So I would hate for us to put ourselves in that type of situation. So I think we need to do complete due diligence in any company that would even consider put their name on our

45:09 Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr.. Scott

45:13 Unknown speaker not human verified

Is this committee its naming rights to explore naming rights? But if they decide not to go naming rights is it also to identify that individual that might the stadium might be named after By November 2016 it says

45:30 Unknown speaker not human verified

make a recommendation naming the facility if it's a person a name I don't

45:39 Unknown speaker not human verified

have any problem with the EDC being on something that's about naming rights given their business exposure I'm not sure why they would be on one if we're going for the naming of an individual citizen so I'm I think this is great you need this kind of committee if you're going after naming rights and monetary But I don't think the committee is expansive enough if it goes from naming rights to finding that right individual to pay honor to

46:07 Unknown speaker not human verified

Just my thought and I and I think we're looking at all options certainly, but I Think Someone from each of these areas would basically cover a lot all of our stakeholders within KDISD That's what I believe, that you have people who are longtime members of the community who also have this kind of exposure and their parents, faith-based people. I think you're going to have a broad net with these groups of people.

46:41 Unknown speaker not human verified

MR. And, Madam President, if I could offer, too, that there's a very well-described process for schools. It's a little different because it's a facility. So as far as the policy that the Board has, it gives you a little flexibility in what your process is going to be once you consider selling the naming rights.

47:04 Unknown speaker not human verified

MS.
