Is there any discussion? Being none, we'll take a vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. The motion passes 7-0. With this discussion on personnel, I'd like to issue the following statement on behalf of the Katy ISD Board of Trustees. The district found itself in the middle of a national media storm last week. The board wants to present our response, something by law that we could not do until this official meeting. Viral videos, edited tape, false statements, and gotcha moments are a part of our modern news cycle and social media culture. Yet often, these frenzied attacks lack context and distort the truth. As trustees to our children and their parents, our responsibility is to act on behalf of our community and judge our superintendent based on the totality of his record. His 27 years of service to students and the community as a teacher and administrator, Not just on the claims of what a 14 year old boy is led to have done 40 years ago The board fully vetted dr. Lance hint before hiring him Before hiring him two years ago, and we continue to do so, his strong leadership and fulfillment of our vision since then has affirmed our decision. We stand united with Dr. Lance Hint. We understand the optics from last week made it seem like we are insensitive to allegations of bullying. However, that could not be further from the truth. Sometimes moments like this remind us of why why we became so passionate about public education. Even if the facts aren't exactly correct, our motives are unclear, it gave us a chance to look at what more we can do to continue to erase the bullying at Katy ISD. Prevention and intervention is not new to this district. In fact, continuing to find new solutions is part of our long-range strategic plan, plan, including our year-long development of a mobile app that will provide another way for our tech-savvy kids to report bullying incidents. KDIC has no tolerance for any action that may constitute bullying or cyberbullying. Each campus has in place a set of programs to protect our children. We constantly encourage students to report incidents, and we investigate and discipline those who engage in such activities. As a board, our resolve to be leaders in bullying prevention remains solid. So too is our support of Dr. Lance Hint.

Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Board. And if you don't mind, I'd like to comment. As indicated, I've spent 27 years dedicating my life, my passion, my commitment to my family, to my students, to staff, and to the communities that I have been privileged to serve. But folks, I recognize, I'm telling you, I recognize I am not a perfect person. I don't think anybody in here really is. is and I do recognize that while I understand the perception, please know my reaction this past monday night was one of shock. It wasn't one of disrespect or insensitivity. I was purely shocked, You know, to the hometown that raised me and where I now proudly serve, I regret the negative attention that's been brought to this community in the past week. weak. Ultimately, ultimately, I'll be judged by one person. Yes. Yes. And that is God, my Lord and Savior. That's who will judge me. Now moving forward, I pray and I ask everybody to pray. that our combined efforts will continue KDISD's commitment to providing, as I tell my staff all the time, providing a safe and secure learning environment for our 78,000 kids and our 11,000-plus employees, what I call our superstar staff. You know, serving this board and our community, I'm telling you, is the greatest personal and professional privilege of my life. Who gets to come home and do what I get to do? And for that, I am, I am telling you, I am thankful. And I would like to personally thank this board for your unwavering support. and I'd like to thank the community that's here to support me as well we've got a great school district folks we've got a great school district and I look forward to continuing to push this district forward so we can continue to be recognized as not only the best in the state the best in the country again thank you and let's move on

12:48 Unknown speaker not human verified

one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state, under God, one and indivisible. Hi, my name is Zoe. I'm a fourth grader at Bryan Elementary. I'm here tonight to tell you about Bryan. It is the best school I have ever attended. Let me tell you why. The principals are amazing and the teachers are phenomenal. The fact that Bryan is a two-story school is really cool because all the elementary schools I have ever attended only have one story. The namesakes Mr. and Mrs. Bryant are amazeballs. Every time I see them, they are giving students high fives and hugs, asking them how they are doing, or just talking to them. They are like everybody's extra set of grandparents. I think it is so cool that two such caring people are the namesakes of our awesome school. Because trombone players and their wives are the best. Right, Daddy? I am so glad to be representing Bryan Elementary. Thank you for having me this evening.

14:10 Unknown speaker not human verified

One's a certificate that says thank you, and the next one, which is my favorite, do you want to give it to your second or third? Second? Third? Okay. The lunch box. And only those brave enough to come speak to us get a lunch box. And since Dr. Hint got here, he said we could give three things. So the other one is a backpack to put all those books in that we don't have to bring anymore. But thank you very much. We appreciate you. Now we're going to get to take a picture, and the Bryants are going to get to come with us. Oh, yeah, get rid of all that stuff.

We'll now move on to our report section of the agenda, item 6.1, 2018-2019, budget update. Mr. Smith.

41:46 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right. Well, good evening, President Vann and Superintendent Hindt and trustees. I'm pleased to be here tonight to give you yet another update on how we're progressing with the budget. I want to start off with what you saw originally a couple of months ago in January. We're building this budget. We're building it on current law. That's not as relevant this year as it has been in the past since the legislature is not meeting this session, but we are developing under current law. We're looking at student enrollment growth of 2.9 percent. That's an increase of 2,248 students, a bigger increase than we projected to have last year. We're looking at property values, increases of 5%. Again, we've talked about it before. We've added, we've increased over 9% the last 10 years. We're being what we think is conservative at 5%. We hope it's conservative at 5%, but we just don't know. Nobody has that crystal ball. I don't but when I will give you an update in at the May board meeting where we will have that number Teacher growth looking at 149 new teachers as far as in 135 non teachers as part of the staffing plan that you Presumably will approve tonight or considering for approval tonight That's not as many as we had last year if you look at the column on the left remember last year we opened an elementary school and a high school and not just at one elementary school that we're opening next year we are having more growth but we are not opening two additional campuses oops we are currently using 2% or a total of 3% for salary increases I've spoken before about those rotten apples and how in public in Texas it's very difficult for inflationary things when it comes to the way that all school districts not just Katy ISD operate on so we are working diligently on trying to do that for our

43:56 Unknown speaker not human verified

people mr. Smith if I could quickly comment to that if you'll put the screen back there board if you recall last year we were able to approve that salary increase for all of our employees in the April meeting it is likely that we won't do that it will be likely that we bring it to you in May the 2% and the 1% that as listed right now we're waiting to see what our appraisal values come in we've got 5% right now of course if that comes in a little bit higher it may give us a little bit more flexibility but this is a starting point for us so with those

44:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

assumption using those assumptions we're looking at a tax revenue increase of 40 million dollars I'm sorry 20 million dollars excuse me 20 million dollars other local revenue at this point is the same state funding there is a shows a small increase remember this is the official budget that we adopted in August our enrollment has been stronger than we anticipated so as you'll as we move forward in the budget progress process and I start using the amended budget you're going to see a decrease from one year to the next when it comes to state funding even with a small increase in the Austin yield we are going to make less state funds even with the higher enrollment projection 15 million dollars worth of new enrollment numbers no additional state funds and likely as we move forward less state funds TRS contributions that's in blue I'm going to show you the expense that's going to add up to the total amount in in blue later on about four slides away. And in federal revenue is a very small percentage of our budget. From an expenditure standpoint, 88% of our budgets in salary and benefits, the staffing plan that you have, is largely the same ratios that we use based on our campus staffing ratios. Outside of salary and benefits, the purple slice is our second largest expenditure, or expenditure area. majority of that's in utilities at our at our campuses and then of course the green area that would be classroom supplies etc but even a large portion of that is on fuel for for buses and white fleet as far as where we spend our money not what it is on but where we spend it the far left is where we want to be that's what we're all about we we work real hard as administration and put all all the monies resources we can into the classroom and you can see that 45 445 point 9 million is in our official budget for the year we're in but again based on the plan that we're developing that materially will not change as far as all our funds that the majority of our funds being directly in classroom instruction I will point out that small gold piece because that was mentioned at length at the Finance Commission last week we have a very low administrative administrative cost ratio, we're under 4%, we're about 3.93, I believe it was, 3.94. You could double our administrative costs and probably still be within the limits that Schools First outlines. So we do have very thin, low administrative costs in the district. Again, this campus staffing plan that you have, it considers the new facility, the one one elementary school and the staffing associated with that in addition to teachers it has the ancillary positions such as bus drivers, food service workers, etc. And then also the campus staffing plan as I mentioned earlier does consider district-wide growth. From our expenditure standpoint the total current positions that column on the left you can see that column that's the first number on the right that's just bringing the total teacher pay group up to the next year starting out at 338.5 million dollars from current teacher paid positions. There are new positions tally of about 9.9 million and then you can see the salary increases that we put in there for the teachers paid range. As far as non teacher pay group again the same thing You can see the column on the right starts out with the bottom one on the left. That just brings those positions up. We'll fine-tune that as we move forward along through the budget process. That's really all we can do right now. But we're looking at $134.4 million in that. Oops, I will point out that the salary increases are there. and if anybody did the math it's 4.8 million dollars for every 1% salary increase 4.8 million dollars yes for every 1% 4.8 million looking at things that are also part of the salary and benefits budget but but are not on salaries like the last slide stipends of 8.9 million dollars are rounded 8.9 million dollars is one of the larger ones on here substitute teachers Obviously when a teacher is absent instruction doesn't stop. We bring substitutes in and we are labor-intensive because we do supervise 78,000 students and so we try to continue instruction and the supervision of those students so that's one of our higher ones. And then overtime and supplemental pay this would include our largest expenditure here would be summer school or Katie summer term is the largest one in that. As far as benefits go, if you you may notice that the right-hand column is a little less than the left-hand column that's a good thing. It appears as though we may have put a little too much money in the budget for health and medical last year which is good. So we've got some that that's helping helping manage this budget next year by creating just a little bit of savings but the number on the right we at this point is good based off the staffing plan that you're considering TRS 1.5 percent local contribution that is the tax that was added as part of the 2015 legislation I say tax I didn't nickname it the tape the payroll tax but it is our contribution as a district to fund the TRS for the teachers retirement system of Texas that was added in 2015 there There was not a revenue associated with that. That is just an expense to keep TRS solvent. TRS statutory minimum, I'll point out again, that's one of the ones that we pay. We're fortunate to pay above the teacher minimum salary schedule in the state of Texas. Because we pay more than that, we owe additional funds to contribute to TRS, and that's about $7.3 million. And then anybody that's new to TRS, the first 90 days of employment, the district picks up the entire portion. The state doesn't pick up. portion. We spend about $7.3 million there. So the subtotal payroll budget, you're looking at about $591 million. I'm going to start out with that number there on the right and talk about the blue section, and that's what I mentioned earlier. This is the state's contribution, the state's giving the cash to TRS on our behalf. That was shown in the revenue. We show it as both revenue and expense on our books, but the cash does come from the state. state of Texas and again that's based on our number of members that contribute to TRS all right non payroll campus allocations that's the big moving target with our 60-plus campuses there's not as much money there but that is the supplies and etc for a large part of what we do we've done that part the campuses are done by and large with that and we're working on the departments the departments you'll see a larger number that is because that's where the utilities are things like summer school campus-wide testing appraisal district fees etc come out of that so you're looking at about a 82.9 million dollars and what we're estimating right now in non payroll costs so next month and that's really other than letting you know what we're going to do next month next month Jeff Robert our financial or municipal advisors now not a municipal advisor not financial advisor any longer from first Southwest or Hilltop securities will be here to talk about our debt plan and our debt budget it'll be our first look at the debt budget we will also be while he's here we are also going to be asking for approval for parameters for our next bond sale or our first bond sale from the 2017 authorization that we have not made that first sale on that but we will be getting ready to do so sometime this summer and that begins next month in April and then in May I'll have a similar presentation that I'm doing tonight at that time it'll be a little bit more details and at that time as Dr. Hint mentioned we'll have our property values or an estimate of our property values a lot better estimate than what I'm able to provide you at this time and with that I thank you for your

time does it have any questions for mr. Smith mr. Halsky okay hey thank you mr.

53:16 Unknown speaker not human verified

Smith if you don't mind would you go back to the slide on the the revenue estimates for one moment and I appreciate the way that you explain those to us when you give us these updates certainly where we are still experiencing enrollment growth here every year as evidenced by the new schools that we keep building and opening and we're also experiencing a property tax growth at the same time actually outpacing the student enrollment by a little bit on a percentage basis but illustrating that all while that's happening our state funding is actually going down and you actually expect it to be down on a net level next year once the amended budgets come in or you're comparing us to minute buds this year that's a it's disappointing and but I do thank you for continuously pointing that out I think it's something we need to continue to talk about but you have one question off this page as well because we are seeing the the it's on the federal revenue line because we're seeing it cut almost a half next year I was just wondering if there are some programs that were discontinued or what what what is the

54:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

reason for that our largest our largest federal revenue is char's it's what we do on a daily basis for that Medicaid reimbursable there was some timing issues that we did that we've encountered and basically in the 1718 school year I anticipate recording two years worth of Shars revenue in the 17-18 school year so it was just a one-time blip And and we're gonna have to record it twice It's not gonna be any additional funds to the district, but it will be recorded twice in the 2017-18 school year

54:48 Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, so if what we're looking at here then on 2018-19 is becoming more normalized. It's more than norm. Yes, sir. Okay. Thank you very much

54:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr.. Scott

54:59 Unknown speaker not human verified

Same slide. Could you remind me how, when we did the swap between the INS tax rate and the M&O tax rate, we were going to capture some additional dollars. Have you calculated that into that state funding revenue picture yet?

55:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you, Mr. Scott, for pointing that out. That is not in either one of those numbers. That's the official adopted budget next year. I am peeling those numbers out for the 18-19 school year because they're one time and as the administration Works through and manages the budget We didn't want to make we wanted to make sure that the one-time Windfall if you will was not considered I thought a windfall by all means But the one-time source of money is not considered as we're building a budget that we need to live by year after year

55:46 Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, in the second observation the second question I think goes back to the enrollment projection our actual enrollment for this year is higher than the budget. We've actually hit right at $78,000, right?

56:02 Unknown speaker not human verified

Just a little bit under.

56:04 Unknown speaker not human verified

Just a little bit under. So will you adjust the student projection based on what you think we're actually going to grow and when that happens, could you just give us a crystal ball of what impact that will have on state revenue?

56:20 Unknown speaker not human verified

Sure. Sure. The amended budget that I will amend sometime during the summer, right now would still be an estimate because we're still having school. But in late June, we'll do our final PEIM submission for the year. And at that point, I'll know all the exact numbers that are used for state calculation numbers. I could guess right now, and it would be pretty close. But at that point is when I normally will amend the budget. And you'll see our state revenue that we budgeted over a year ago go up slightly because our enrollment has been a little bit Higher than we anticipated Again this time last year

56:54 Unknown speaker not human verified

But I think it's Brian said the net effect when they all that when all of its doesn't the state aid is still going to

56:59 Unknown speaker not human verified

Be less proportionate you will before the year before the yes, sir. You will see a decrease in state aid likely See a decrease from one year to the next in our state revenue budget And I will be able to show you that in July. Thank you

57:19 Unknown speaker not human verified

Anyone else

57:21 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, better president. Mr. Griffin move that the Board of Trustees approves a consent agenda is recommended in item 7.1 through 7.10 by a second

57:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Doyle. I move that the Board of Trustees names Elementary School number 41 Amy Campbell Elementary School. Second.

58:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

Is there any discussion? I think so. I'm sorry, I didn't repeat the motion. A motion has been made by Mrs. Doyle, a second by Mrs. Fox. So the Board of Trustees name Elementary 41 Amy Campbell Elementary School. Any discussion?

58:33 Unknown speaker not human verified

All right.

58:34 Unknown speaker not human verified

Being that none, we will now proceed to vote. All in favor, please raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. Motion passes 7-0.

59:07 Unknown speaker not human verified

And real quick, if we could, Ms. Campbell and Ms. Shipley, if you'll come up for a picture real quick. Is Ray still in the house? If not, we will just come on board. We'll do a selfie.

59:44 Unknown speaker not human verified

1:01:07 Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President.

1:01:09 Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Mohoski.

1:01:10 Unknown speaker not human verified

I move the Board of Trustees approves the changes to Board Policy FDA Local. Second.

1:01:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

And with that, before we take a vote, if it's okay, I do have a quick presentation of the survey results, and I think it would be important for our community to see that. So can we hold the vote until the survey? Okay. Thank you.

1:01:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

Hello, good evening Superintendent Hint, Madam President, members of the board. I'm pleased to be here. Thank you as always for having me. As Dr. Hint said, I'm just quickly going to walk you through the survey results. We did survey employees across the district on this policy change. So in the hopes that this information could inform your decision. Just a few details about that survey. It was open from March 7th through the 21st. We emailed links to every staff member in the district. There was also a public access link available to them. It was available in Spanish. We sent out reminders to those staff who had not yet taken the survey on the 13th and the 20th of March. This was not a random sample. We wanted every staff member in the district to have an opportunity to participate in the survey. So because of that, the responses in the survey are specific just to those who took the survey. and I'll talk I'll speak to that a little bit as we go through the data

1:02:32 Unknown speaker not human verified

Within the boundaries of the ISA thank you that is an important clarification

1:02:36 Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, those staff members who do not currently live within the bounds of the district and I'll show you some of those numbers as we Go through this Specifically those those numbers there you can see there was 26 or 2622 staff members who fall into that category who received invitations to take the survey We received responses from just over 1,100 of those, so 42%. The first thing you'll think of when you see that number is, well, what about the rest of them who did not take the survey? What implications or assumptions can be made about those? And the reality is none. You're not really sure what the rest of them would have said. If you asked me to guess, I would say that for a lot of them, this policy change would not impact them, so they opted not to take the survey. but it's certainly likely that there are some that did not take the survey who would be impacted by the policy change. So I'll speak to that a little bit more as we go through the survey results. But as Dr. Hindt said, those that do not currently live within the district received an invitation. When we look at the numbers by location, this is a lot of information we wanted to show you who, where we saw a lot of participation. You can see 72 staff members that work in the education support complex, Human Resources Annex took the survey. We also saw I say hide numbers were speaking relatively here. Cinco Ranch High School, you can see 25 from there, 40 staff members from Katy High School, 48 from Maid Creek High School. Just highlighting some that that had relatively high numbers of employees who took the survey, 19 from Pato High School. And I'll come back to this whenever we look at what the results look like. Again, this is just participation. Those staff members who were invited to take the survey, these are the responses we got by worksite. So when we asked that entire group how interested they would be in a modified policy, you can see that a far majority of them were very interested. 71% very interested, 13% somewhat interested, and 16% not at all interested. Those that said they were very or somewhat interested, we asked them if they have a school-age child or children who would be in school within the next five years. Almost 70% said that they would. And then we asked that group if they would bring their children to Katy ISD if they had that option. And you can see almost all of them said that they would. And I'll give you some hard numbers around that. But you can see the total number that responded to that question was 619 employees. employees. So quick math, just a little over 600 said that they would. From there, we started asking them a little bit about their children to get an idea of what the impact of that change would be on the schools. You can see that almost two-thirds of them are currently in school, most of them at the elementary school level, and there was another 38 percent that have school-age children, I'm sorry, children that are not yet of school age. From there, we started asking them how many children they have at each level. So you can see I'm going to show you by campus but if you see this the way this math works is we ask them how many children they had at each level so you can see the totals there in the far column. 367 current elementary school students, 129 current junior high students and I'm sorry when I say current we asked them about the the coming school year so it could be that they're in a transition year right now and 120 high school students. So So again, this isn't straight numbers of staff because a lot of them have multiple children. From there, we looked at their work site. Because remember, the policy or the question was if they had the option of bringing their children to a campus that was near their work site. So we cross-referenced this with where they said that they work and saw that there are some schools or areas of schools that would feel a little bit more impact than others. I've highlighted just some here. And you can barely see it up there, but I'll call them out. these were schools or work sites that had higher 10 or higher so elementary schools located near the ESC about 14 elementary students approximately based on these responses about 11 elementary school students for staff that work at Bear Creek Elementary you see in the Katy high school area there's 12 students at the elementary level so elementary schools that are located in proximity to Katy high school and then 11 at the high school specifically And then another list here, 23, which I think was the highest of all these, at the elementary school level on the Maid Creek High School worksite. So staff that work at Maid Creek who would bring their kids to elementary schools near that school. Ten at the Morton Ranch High School elementary schools. And then for Tompkins High School, there were 18 children approximately that would attend elementary schools near that high school. There's one more on this list and I've got another set to show you at the Seven Lakes High School. Staff that work there, there are about 11 elementary school students that would attend a school near that high school. Last list here. I'm not sure why it's not, there we go. All of these in the case are 11 students here, but these are all at elementary school level, but it was staff that work at McDonald junior high Taylor high school or at the transportation east department Now again, I'll just run through kind of a high-level overview here Remember there were 1,200 staff that didn't take the survey so we certainly can't assume How many of them have children or where they would attend? It's likely that a lot of those wouldn't be impacted by this change But you certainly shouldn't take these numbers and think they're exact This was meant to give you guys an idea of what that impact could look like So just a quick summary and then I'm happy to answer any questions. The work sites that were most represented by those who took the survey were the ESC, Human Resources Annex, Maid Creek High School, Katy High School, Seven Lakes High School, and Tompkins High School. That was just the highest numbers of staff members in those locations participated. participated. Overall, 84% of the full-time KDISD employees who responded to this survey and reside outside district boundaries said they would be very interested or somewhat interested in a modified policy. And if you remember, most of those, over 70%, were very interested. It's projected that this would add about 615 students to KDISD schools over the next five five years. Again, just looking at those survey responses from those who took the survey, 367 at the elementary, 128 at the junior high, and 120 at the high school level. The last bullet there, based on these survey responses, it looks like those elementary schools in proximity to Maid Creek and Tompkins would be impacted the most by the policy change, though the impact was, we say minimum, but less than 25 additional students. That sign is actually backwards it should be less than 25 students happy to answer any questions that you guys have about those survey results

1:09:41 Unknown speaker not human verified

madam president this policy kind of makes me happy in two ways number one dr. hint thank you for talking to your teachers getting feedback and bringing it to the board we always talk about taking care of our teachers but here's a policy directly impacting them but what really gives me the warm fuzzy is people talk about moving into their schools to bring their kids to the school so they moved here, but here we have teachers who are fortunate to work here and now not only do they work here, but they want to bring their kids. So when you tell me there's one slide that says if they had 97% they'd bring their kids here and then the other one says 84 says they want to, and that just tells me we're doing something right. Thank you.

1:10:28 Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, I have a question about the ESC number and the Katy High School number when you highlighted those yes wouldn't those go in the same pot because the ESC is in the Katy High School attendance zone so those numbers kind of go

1:10:43 Unknown speaker not human verified

together or is that wrong they could because they're physically located towards one another we just based this off of where they work so if they work in this building they're in the ESC annex Katy High School that's where they work so I think that's a logical conclusion because geographically they're close to one another but these numbers are based on where they work

1:11:01 Unknown speaker not human verified

That makes right and so my understanding madam president is that you will send your kids to the school closest to where you work or the feeder pattern at the school closest to where you work is how our Our policy reads now right right, so it wouldn't necessarily mean Katy elementary school It could be any elementary school that feeds to Katy high school or if they live near Katy high school, so right

1:11:25 Unknown speaker not human verified

Ken has buried himself in that policy in the last few weeks, so let me let Ken answer that for you.

1:11:30 Unknown speaker not human verified

And I'm just using Katy High School as an example. I'm not singling them out. I'm just asking a general question. Certainly.

1:11:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

Those are certainly good questions, and you could go through all the schools and kind of match them up. A similar issue might be over at Seven Lakes, where Seven Lakes High School and Junior High are on the same property, so you'd have to add those two together and look at elementaries in that area. The policy about bringing your child would be to the closest work location, not the feeder pattern. Now, once you're within the system, that's when your subsequent applications could go the pattern. So let me try and explain that. So let's say your closest work location is X elementary school, and you're there. Sooner or later, that elementary could go to two different junior highs. So at that point the employee would make a decision do I want to go to this junior high or this? Depending probably on those Friend groups that they made in those schools and where they're going so once you're in the system It gets a little more complex to just open it up to any school in any feeder pattern because when you look at it We've got some high schools that would have like five elementaries and then whether it be too much choice in there So once you're in the system at your closest work location as you progress through That's when you have to make some choices based on those friend groups or whatever you want to choose at those levels. Same thing goes when you're in the junior high. If it splits to two, you would have choice at that time between the two.

1:12:54 Unknown speaker not human verified

That answers my question. Thank you so much.

1:12:57 Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a question. You noted that there was 1,549 that are identified as not living in the district that didn't respond. And there's no, I guess there's really no algorithm or crystal ball, as Mr. Scott would say, to kind of, I guess, gauge.

1:13:13 Unknown speaker not human verified

Determine if they have kids?

1:13:15 Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, or just gauge a number at all. There isn't. Because it's a manageable number is what's projected right now, in my opinion. But that's for having almost 10,000 employees, over 1,500 not responding out of our overall amount of employees.

1:13:31 Unknown speaker not human verified

Right. Right. So based on traditional survey behavior, most of our non-responses are those that just don't have an interest in the topic that we're surveying on. So that's why it leads me to say the likelihood is that a lot of them just wouldn't be impacted by it. That's why they didn't take it. But that is absolutely an assumption.

1:13:48 Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, this is Doyle. I think this is a question geared for Mr. Gregorski. And it's my understanding that if that teacher is no longer employed in KDISD and they live outside of the district, their child will then be removed from the district if they are no longer employed. They won't continue to finish school here even though mom or dad do not work here anymore.

1:14:12 Unknown speaker not human verified

That would be correct. As long as you're employed by the district, you would be approved for that transfer as long as you're in good standing as well. There is some criteria to remain in the district. but as long as you're an employee so if you if you change work locations no longer working for Katy ISD then we would allow you to remain until the end of a break as in a semester or school year and then you would no longer qualify for that transfer to remain in Katy ISD.

1:14:39 Unknown speaker not human verified

Which the valid point is we're hoping this doesn't only help us with recruiting and retain but the retention of those teachers as well. Mr. Scott? Whomever. Could you just kind of go to the bottom line in terms of managing this financially and impact on campuses, elementary, junior and senior high? Is this something that you feel comfortable that we can do? Yes, I do and I'm going to let Chris who, Mr. Smith talked to it. The question was, Mr. Smith, the management of it financially You explained that to the board last time that it's not like for every kid we're going to hire another teacher or an FTE. We're going to be able to manage it with existing seats, and we actually believe that it's going to be a net plus to the district, even with the minimal amount of state aid that we receive.

1:15:31 Unknown speaker not human verified

Because now we have more real numbers to actually do the modeling.

1:15:35 Unknown speaker not human verified

Absolutely, and we've got some available space. If you noticed in the survey, I was pleasantly surprised with the Maid Creek area numbers. And this provides those folks in that area who work for the school district to bring their kids and to have them in our school settings.

1:16:02 Unknown speaker not human verified

Dr. Hindt did a great job answering the question. I don't know what more I can say. It's $5,140 is the basic allotment that we get that's adjusted for KDISD. So we get the adjusted basic allotment for each one of those students. And Dr. Henson very well said they're not going to all add in one spot. They're going to be spread out. And as they're spread out, perfect world. It's good financially. There are going to be some cases where it's going to add an FTE or two. but as the odds are in my opinion that it will we will come out ahead financially by far.

1:16:41 Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President what is KTE for the layman in layman's terms? Teaching position and I have one more question if I may. You say 615 over five years. Do you have

1:16:54 Unknown speaker not human verified

a concrete number for next year do not so the way it was asked it said do you have a school a school-aged child or children who will be attending within the next five years so

1:17:11 Unknown speaker not human verified

there's a motion on the floor a motion has been made by mr. Mahal see a second by Charles Griffin the Board of Trustees approves the changes to board policy FDA DA local. I believe we're all done with discussions so now we can proceed to vote. All in favor please raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. Motion passes seven to zero.

1:17:39 Unknown speaker not human verified

If it's okay I would like to now say to the past two years of teacher leadership form we no longer have to address that question on a monthly basis I'll draw your attention

1:17:54 Unknown speaker not human verified

to item 9.1 donated items to the Katy Independent School District and ten future meetings we'll have a board work-study meeting right here Monday April 16th 2018 followed by our regular board meeting Monday April 23rd 2018 there being no further business before the board this meeting is adjourned the The time is 7.54 p.m.
