Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a motion by Mr. Lacey, a second by Ms. Vann,

Unknown speaker not human verified

that the Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in items 7.1 through 7.8.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We will now proceed to vote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those in favor, please raise your right hand and say aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those opposed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Motion passes 7-0.

Items 8.1 - 8.3

Unknown speaker not human verified

Next, agenda item 8, information items.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias, Presidenta.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

y mucho de esto que me gustaría ver

Unknown speaker not human verified

suceder si no lo hacemos o mantener lo que estamos haciendo.

Unknown speaker not human verified

En referencia a las políticas y procedimientos del board,

Unknown speaker not human verified

fue recomendado que las políticas del board

Unknown speaker not human verified

sean revisadas en un ciclo de cuatro años.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Cada política es revisada, pero no hay cambios

Unknown speaker not human verified

o cambios son recomendados.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Y que el board de la escuela no debe

Unknown speaker not human verified

establecer estas políticas para que las personas fallen.

Unknown speaker not human verified

El board debe poner normas y protocolos

Unknown speaker not human verified

en la agenda para las reuniones abiertas

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

agenda and talk about controversial issues and to act as liaison for customer concerns.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Engagement matters because it's the law. ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act. Each law must

Unknown speaker not human verified

have title funding. Local requires parent engagement. ESSA is a written parent and family

Unknown speaker not human verified

engagement policy. Student achievement correlates to community engagement. Engaged families

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

El superintendente debe construir confianza con el board para que haya transparencia.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Para ayudar más en transparencia o en el engaño, debemos poner los itens de agenda propuestos en la lista para que el público vea, incluso los que no lo hacen en la agenda.

Unknown speaker not human verified

También podemos hacer una moción en público para que se haga algo en la agenda.

Unknown speaker not human verified

La excelencia en el clasro empieza con la excelencia en el board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

La performance académica de los 8 grados se relaciona con la confianza del board de la escuela.

Unknown speaker not human verified

¿Cómo impacta la confianza de la comunidad, las decisiones que hacemos, el decorum de la reunión, la ética y asegurarnos de que seguimos con los temas de agenda en las reuniones cerradas y abiertas?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Peter Block dijo que la liderazgo es la capacidad de lidiar con la incertidumbre de un nuevo futuro creando un sentido de pertenencia y una comunidad fuerte.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Y necesitamos preguntar a todos los miembros del board qué es lo que sucede y todos deberían de agregar.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias, señora Champagne.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias, señor presidente.

Unknown speaker not human verified

$2,000.

Bill Lacy not human verified

¿Tú sabes,

Bill Lacy not human verified

señor Gagorski?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Incluyendo todo,

Unknown speaker not human verified

¿sabes?

Unknown speaker not human verified

El avión.

Unknown speaker not human verified

No tengo la figura exacta

Unknown speaker not human verified

en frente de mí,

Unknown speaker not human verified

pero recuerdo

Unknown speaker not human verified

que los invoces

Unknown speaker not human verified

eran alrededor de $2,000,

Unknown speaker not human verified

tal vez $2,200,

Unknown speaker not human verified

$2,300,

Unknown speaker not human verified

justo en esa rama.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Perfecto.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Y no sé

Unknown speaker not human verified

si las clases

Unknown speaker not human verified

fueron ofrecidas localmente.

Unknown speaker not human verified

No.

Bill Lacy not human verified

No sé si lo han investigado

Bill Lacy not human verified

o no.

Bill Lacy not human verified

Siempre soy proponente

Bill Lacy not human verified

de la educación.

Unknown speaker not human verified

¿Qué es lo que

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Item 8.4

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

y el señor Lacey han demostrado en los más difíciles de los ambientes políticos locales

Unknown speaker not human verified

y en los tiempos, cuán precarios era el balance y sigue siendo.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Si incluso uno de ustedes se hubiera desbordado bajo la presión brutal e intimidante

Unknown speaker not human verified

fue un irracionalismo de la política, tirades de la media social, tantrums de la tempura

Unknown speaker not human verified

e incompetencia, incluso reportes jornalísticamente deshonestos,

Unknown speaker not human verified

el distrito se hubiera dañado gravemente.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

con el que tengo experiencia.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Lo que sea que suceda a Lance en su vida,

Unknown speaker not human verified

en el futuro,

Unknown speaker not human verified

él es uno de los dos,

Unknown speaker not human verified

uno de los dos

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendentes más corajosos, innovadores

Unknown speaker not human verified

y competentes que he observado.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Le pagó un precio terrible

Unknown speaker not human verified

por venir a casa.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Y el segundo voto más orgulloso

Unknown speaker not human verified

y el que tomé

Unknown speaker not human verified

fue unirme a ustedes,

Unknown speaker not human verified

a cada uno de ustedes,

Unknown speaker not human verified

y no ir a la extranjera para un proceso de investigación de superintendentes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Sería una política irracional y sería destructiva de la estabilidad de este distrito.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Señora Gassoff, soy 69, así que puedo decirle algo a usted porque no lo es.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Cuando observo a usted, también veo la misma fuerza, intelecto, independencia y coraje

Unknown speaker not human verified

que Anne y yo insteñamos en nuestras dos hijas adultas.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

puede tener practicantes mentirosos, decepcionados y condenados.

Unknown speaker not human verified

He pasado toda mi carrera no tomando un paso atrás cuando me enfrenté a estos tipos de gente.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Espero que, sin importar las diferencias en nuestro enfoque,

Unknown speaker not human verified

tu futuro de performance se arriesga a corresponder con tus intelectos genuinos, valores y objetivos claves que yo comparto.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Te respeto.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

más importante que nosotros como individuos.

Unknown speaker not human verified

En 1969, estoy en el pasado,

Unknown speaker not human verified

he aprendido esa lección.

Unknown speaker not human verified

KDISD debe enfocarse en el futuro.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gracias, señor Scott.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Y me gustaría dar este momento para agradecerle su servicio en nuestro board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ha sido muy apreciado su conocimiento y su intelecto.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Even in your most heated moments

Unknown speaker not human verified

I've appreciated your honesty

Unknown speaker not human verified

With all of us
