Right here in the front.
Start with me.
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.
Item 5
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.
All right.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
you
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
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
Thank you.
Shake it up.
Thank you.
I feel like the barrier is buried.
I'm gonna check it out.
Switching the battery.
Can we get a picture with all the robotics members here?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I want to control it.
Thank you.
Okay.
Consent Agenda
Okay, Board members, at this time I will draw your attention to the consent agenda, and
the Board will entertain a motion.
Madam President.
Mr. DeBrell.
I move that the Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in items
6.1 through 6.10.
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
Item 7
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
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
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
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
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.
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
Item 8
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
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
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
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
MS.
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.
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
Mr.. Scott
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
make a recommendation naming the facility if it's a person a name I don't
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
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.
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.
MS.
Madam President.
MS.
Mr. DeBrell.
MS.
Beyond just selling of the naming rights, if the committee chose to go in a different
direction a general name or something like that is there a vehicle that we
could put in place for community input I know we've used online surveys before
with great success I think it would be good to have some type of vehicle in
place for online input from the greater community because this is one of those
few facilities that the entire community is a stakeholder and I would suggest
that if the selling and naming rights is not imminent and you need to name it after a community
member or an event or a place or whatever it may be, then you would reach out for broader
representation or input.
Okay.
I appreciate that.
Okay.
So any other questions?
We'll move forward with giving the administration some go ahead and get started on this.
They have said prior to November, so it'll get going and keep moving along.
And the new superintendent will arrive in August and certainly be included in the part of all of this.
So thank you very much, Mr. Grinnell, for helping us with this and let us know if you need us to do anything.
Yes, ma'am.
As always board members if you have any additional feedback just submit it to Sharon Nowak and me, Mr. Gannell and we'll
Get your if you come up with questions later that you want addressed about this
Okay, please call your attention to the information items the donations which are always very generous to our schools
