23:03 Unknown speaker not human verified

evening thank you mrs. Tepeda next we have our public hearing portion of our agenda item 6.1 presentation of the 2016-17 annual report to include the the Texas Academic Performance Report.

23:47 Unknown speaker not human verified

Squeaky chair.

23:50 Unknown speaker not human verified

You're good.

23:50 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right. Good evening, Dr. Hemp, President Vann, members of the board. I'm here to present the 2016-17 annual report in a public hearing format. The Texas Education Agency requires districts to present in a public hearing format various points of information, including district accreditation status. And as you can see up on the screen, our accreditation from the past year was accredited. the Texas academic performance report data in including our special education status where we meet our the requirement of the Texas Education Agency campus performance objectives a report on violent or criminal incidents on campuses and student performance in post-secondary institution information so we'll start with our district performance this is always the fun part when we talk about district performance in the upcoming slides we need to discuss our performance thresholds. So for this year, and they've been changing recently, we're going to talk about performance thresholds of approaches grade level and the definition of that from the Texas Education Agency is that some knowledge of course content but may be missing critical elements. The student needs additional support in the coming year. This is considered the lowest level of meeting standard on a state assessment is approaches grade level. The next level is meets grade level and according to the agency that is strong knowledge of course content the student is prepared to progress to the next grade that's the middle level of performance and the highest level of performance a student can achieve is masters grade level and at that level mastery of the course knowledge and skills is shown then the student is on track for college and career readiness so again all three are considered at the passing range even though there is some confusion with the term approaches grade level that does actually in according to the agency mean a minimum level of mastery. So in 2016-17 what our star scores reflect at the approaches grade level or above again that's passing we saw increases in math science and social studies over the previous year as you can see the black bar is the state percentage the red bar in the middle is region 4 and the tan hand bar on the right is KDISD. And for many years in a row that far right hand bar greatly surpasses what our state and region four peers are performing at. At that second level of passing, the meets grade level, again you can see our right hand tan bar is significantly higher than both the state and the region. And we saw increases there as well over the previous year and at the master's grade level the highest grade level at the highest performance again we're significantly higher than our state and region averages when we look at progress of students so students who meet or exceed progress expectations for showing growth from one year to the next you can see we also are higher than our state and region averages with growth in all subjects in math over last year as well. For our attendance and post-secondary readiness, our attendance rate is 97% and that is the same as the prior year. Our annual dropout rates are displayed here. We have decreases in dropout rates which is a good thing. We want decreases in dropout rates and so those numbers are going down over 14-15. Our dropout rate data is a year behind because we have to wait until the next year to see if students are coming back by the capture date the class of 2016 four-year longitudinal graduation rate you can see here we have Katie on the far right hand side outperforms our state and region data and when we look at students graduating we actually had an increase of 0.5% over the prior year. So our graduation rate even at 94% much higher than the state and region is increasing as well. Our class of 2016 college ready graduates. So that is the percent of graduates that meet or exceed that college ready criteria on SAT or ACT and we have about 76% of our students taking the SAT or ACT and so we have 74% in ELA achieving that college-ready graduate threshold 71% in math and 66% in both subjects and not only are both of those significantly higher than our state and region averages but we also grew by 12 points over the prior year for English language arts 10 points in math and 8 points in both subjects so we're definitely continuing to to go up we're not satisfied with with being high for 2015 16 the advanced course dual enrollment completion so this is the percent of students who complete and receive credit for at least one advanced course whether it's an AP course dual credit course there's a their criteria for which courses those are and we can see again KDISD outperforms the state in the the region in that area as well for our AP or IB results and in KD these are AP results our participation rates 33.4 percent of our students participating in 80.7 percent are greater than or equal to the criterion and that is exactly what we applauded miss Lindley up here for is looking at those pieces for our students in our eighth year on the AP honor roll. Our class of 2016 SAT and ACT results our participation rate continues to increase and are greater than or equal to the criterion for the state significantly is higher than our state and regional peers. Class of 2016 average SAT scores so again our score our students are greatly outperforming our state and regional averages for the average scores for both subjects for ELA writing and for math our class of 2016 average ACT scores we see the same trend which is certainly a great trend to have and our ACT scores are increasing as well our 2014-15 graduates that are in post-secondary institutions after they graduate. We have more students who are enrolled in an institution of higher education in Texas and we have a greater percentage of students completing one year without remediation over our state and our regional peers. When we look at our district profile these are demographics so you can see a geographic based on race ethnicity as well as program participation and our programs continue to grow in popularity Almost all of them increased over the prior year other than at risk and that had a very very slight decrease On the next slides we see retention rates by grade level Average class sizes for elementary and secondary Secondary? Percent of staff? Our campus performance objectives, you may remember in the fall approving the campus performance objectives and as a reminder these were still aligned to the former goals. We are continuing to work with our new goals and next year when I'm up here presenting then we will be able to see the campus performance objectives aligned to our new KDISD strategic design goals so for our violent and criminal incidents it is required that we report level five and level four offenses and so up here on the screen you can see our level five incidents our total student population and the percentages there are slight changes from year to year here but lots of positive changes from the previous year in our violent criminal incidents incidents. When we address our violent and criminal incidents, it's through our district improvement plan and our campus improvement plans. And goals include looking at safe facilities, addressing behavioral needs, safe school initiatives, and those are all addressed by campus and in the district improvement plan. So when we look at student performance in post-secondary institutions, this is looking at Texas post-secondary institutions. So when I get up here and talk about this, this is a reminder of students that go only to Texas institutions of higher education, not outside of Texas. So our students who are enrolling in Stanford and University of Oklahoma are not included in this. So public four-year university, our graduates who are attending four-year public, two-year public, independent, so private colleges and universities, and then our two data anomalies not trackable and not found are students where we have data mismatches and then our total graduates so in summary it's always fun to report that we are higher than the state and region in almost every single category that we discussed this evening and are continuing to see increases in many of those areas as well we'll continue our focus on increasing the academic achievement for students who are English language learners as well as students who receive special education services And that concludes the presentation portion of the public hearing.

33:49 Unknown speaker not human verified

Does the board have any questions about the report? Thank you for the thorough information. Okay, now we move to the public hearing on the 2006-2017 Texas Academic Performance Report. Those individuals requesting to speak regarding the 2016-2017 Texas Academic Performance Report signed up prior to the start of this meeting. 30 minutes have been a lot of this public hearing forum. The time allowed will be divided among equally minutes requested to speak but no presentation may exceed three minutes. And we had nobody sign up so this is the end of the public hearing. Agenda item 7 2018-19 budget update. Mr. Smith.

34:46 Unknown speaker not human verified

Well good evening Superintendent Hindt and Mr. President Vann. Each of you should have a copy of the presentation that I'm going to go over tonight. It's a little awkward to look behind me so I'm going to look at a paper copy as well as I try to try to do both flip through and flip pages. But this is this is the first official talk of the budget for the 18-19 school year. We did of course talk with it a couple of couple of months ago with when when PASA or population survey analysts presented their report on our enrollment projections. We use that information as kind of the springboard or the starting point for the budget process. And I'm going to spend the next five or eight minutes going over a little high level of what we'd like to do throughout the rest of this school year. So in January, the second slide that you have is where we are tonight, where we're going going to talk about the budget and budget parameters. February, we're going to give you a little, a very brief look of where we are at a very high level projection of where our general fund budget looks like based on our assumptions. In March, we're going to look at the budget and how the staffing plans will affect that budget. It's kind of the big part of, the largest part of our budget with our new staffing plan. And the first big piece that goes in it, it starts taking shape. In April, we'll have our representatives, our financial advisors from First Southwest here to talk about our debt plan and our long-range debt projections for the debt service budget, the interest in sinking budget. In May or June, we're going to look at a closer look at all our budgeted funds, food service, general fund, and debt service fund. And then in July, of course, we'll take another look at that and sharpen in our pencil a little bit more. And in in August we'll have the public hearing to approve the budget and tax rates. Of course, our objectives for the 18 19 budget of the framework that we're operating under is we're going to try to maintain a balanced budget. We're going to try to maintain competitive salaries. We're going to try to maintain our health care program. We're going to open elementary 41 or prepare from a budget perspective to open elementary 41 and opening to do additional schools in the 19-20 or the 2019-20 school year. We do that based on assumptions and the assumptions that we're currently working under and we'll talk about these on my last slide are taxable values, of course enrollment, the campus staffing plan that drives the enrollment, is driven from enrollment, salary increases, and the tax rates. So let's talk about the first one there on that list with our appraised values or appraisal values. We're currently working with about a thirty eight point five billion dollar worth of appraised values. That's a five point nine percent increase over the prior year. Below you on that screen on the next screen you can see a little bit a graphical look of what you see on the prior screen and those are percentage growth so you can see that we've averaged since the 2004-05 school year over the last 15 school years, we've averaged 9.6% growth of our taxable values. 5.9% last year followed by a 10.5% increase the year before. We're anticipating or using as a starting point 5%. The fact is we just don't know what that number will be. It It is an educated guess. It could be higher, to 6%, 7%. Could be lower, 3% or 4%. Every percentage change is $4 million to the bottom line. But we're using 5% as a starting point for the 18-19 values. Of course, you know that the largest portion of our budget is in salary and benefits. And again, that'll be derived from the staffing plan that we hope to be bringing HR hopes to be bringing you in March and it's based off the enrollment number we're fixing to talk about and then of course salary increases there's a little history of what we've been able to do or what you have the board has been able to do over the last several years from a salary increase perspective moving forward with the considerations of course in the the importance of property values, uh, the organic growth in those property values is slow or robust as it has been unknown impacts that we still are having from from the flood affected properties. Of course, we have a reappraisal happening for the values that we're using for the budget that we're already operating in. And then what impact, if any, will they have in our values in the 18 19 budget? Those are still yet to be be known. I will be attending a meeting tomorrow where I hope to gain a little bit better perspective on that. Um, but probably won't until we know those values and those won't be until April the 30th is when we'll hear the estimates from the three appraisal districts. Um, property value impact. Of course, you've seen the state funding formulas and the rotten apples that I talk about in the funding cliff. When you have a in this last year's case we had a 5.9% increase in our values. Our cliff's not as high. If it were a 10% increase in values that we had last year it would be higher cliff. But we still have the funding cliff and those funding formulas and rotten apples to deal with. Our enrollment growth and special population growth obviously continues to be something we focus on and are looking at daily. And our state funding formulas we don't expect to change this year. There's legislation if not in session but the Commission on School Finance begins tomorrow. It kicks off their first meeting. Official meeting is tomorrow in Austin. Of course there's a little high level snapshot of what our tax rates have looked like and this board has been able to maintain the same tax rate for the last four years, three three years prior to that it was one penny higher and then the board was able to drop that tax rate as you know by one cent in the 15-16 school year so from this budget perspective going back to that slide the starting point we're looking at five percent that would be it would be from a thirty eight point five billion dollar in value to forty point four billion our enrollment we're currently looking at a 2.9% increase from 77,233 budgeted enrollment to 79,481. Of course the campus staffing and growth will be off of that budget, off of that enrollment projection. Salary increases to be determined and then the tax rates going to go about building this budget at the same tax rate we're currently under and the same tax structure that we're currently under. The last slide and I'll just I'm not going to go into all the the details of that, but that gives you an idea of sort of the the milestones that administration will be working towards as we develop and take the next steps towards developing what we hope to be a successful budget journey this year. And with that, I'll be glad to answer any questions, but I appreciate your time very much.

42:18 Unknown speaker not human verified

I would like to comment again, Chris, thank you for presenting the information. If you guys remember, this is kind of a monthly process that we start working through and we start bringing additional data to you, staffing ratios, what the potential is for a salary increase with our staff, etc. So once a month you see those dates here, possibly twice a month, we'll be bringing information to you as we work towards adopting our 18-19 budget.
