thank you next 6.1 2019 state accountability performance results dr matney

Item 6.1

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, President Doyle, Dr. Gagorski, members of the board. I am pleased to be here

Unknown speaker not human verified

this evening to present our 2019 State Accountability Performance Results Report.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Just as a review, we, through the strategic design process, developed a series of KDISD beliefs,

Unknown speaker not human verified

beliefs. And at the very end, we need to make sure that we remember that we believe effective

Unknown speaker not human verified

assessment is a continual process of giving and receiving meaningful feedback that advances

Unknown speaker not human verified

learning and supports a system of accountability. And that we believe that our success is not

Unknown speaker not human verified

determined by a single standardized assessment. So with that, I would like to report out a

Unknown speaker not human verified

predominantly standardized assessment based system an overview of our 2019

Unknown speaker not human verified

system it has three domains and I'll be walking through each of those three

Unknown speaker not human verified

we'll talk about our 2019 district and campus ratings as well as review

Unknown speaker not human verified

distinction designations that campuses receive so our 2019 system has three

Unknown speaker not human verified

performance domains for the district and each campus the student achievement

Unknown speaker not human verified

domain evaluates performance across all subjects for all students. It also

Unknown speaker not human verified

includes general and alternate assessments, college career military

Unknown speaker not human verified

readiness information, and graduation rates. The second domain is our school

Unknown speaker not human verified

progress domain and here we measure the number of students that grew at least

Unknown speaker not human verified

one year academically from last year to this year or from 2018 to 2019. It also

Unknown speaker not human verified

compares student achievement results relative to our economically

Unknown speaker not human verified

disadvantaged percentages among those with like levels elementary to elementary

Unknown speaker not human verified

junior high to junior high in high school to high school the final domain

Unknown speaker not human verified

is the closing the gaps domain in here we use disaggregated data to uncover

Unknown speaker not human verified

differences among student groups by race and race ethnicity and different

Unknown speaker not human verified

programs to align with both state and federal accountability requirements in

Unknown speaker not human verified

In 2019, it was the first time that campuses and districts

Unknown speaker not human verified

both received A through F letter grades.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Additionally, campuses and districts

Unknown speaker not human verified

can receive a not rated rating in a domain or overall.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Last year, a district received letter grades.

Unknown speaker not human verified

However, campuses did not.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But this is the first year that the system is aligned.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So overall, KDISD for the second year in a row is rated an A.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're very thrilled about that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and a hundred percent of our KDIC campuses received an overall rating of

Unknown speaker not human verified

an A, B, or C. That's equivalent to the Met Standard rating previously that

Unknown speaker not human verified

campuses had. So our district ratings overall we received a 92 which is an A.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Our student achievement domain an 89, school progress domain a 91, and the

Unknown speaker not human verified

closing the gaps comes in at a 95. There were 301 districts across the state

Unknown speaker not human verified

about a quarter that did earn an overall rating of an A. However, Katy is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

largest in the state of Texas. So to be as large as we are growing at the rate

Unknown speaker not human verified

that we're growing it's a pretty remarkable feat to come in with that

Unknown speaker not human verified

high mark. So very excited for all the campuses and staff. Pull all these up

Unknown speaker not human verified

together. I'm sorry. Okay so under the student achievement domain there are a

Unknown speaker not human verified

lot of moving parts so we're going to go through each of these components overall

Unknown speaker not human verified

the star component which is looking at all of the tests all of the students

Unknown speaker not human verified

together we saw an increase over last year that's what the green arrow denotes

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we had a 92 so when you look at that middle bar the middle graph we look at

Unknown speaker not human verified

approaches grade level meets grade level and masters grade level a student can

Unknown speaker not human verified

score any of those three on a test and we look at the percentages of students

Unknown speaker not human verified

achieving those three levels and we're up in all of those areas over last year

Unknown speaker not human verified

so lots of gains the state also saw gains but you can see that they are

Unknown speaker not human verified

significantly behind what Katie ISD's results show CCM are the college career

Unknown speaker not human verified

military ready for our high schools in our district that's the percent of

Unknown speaker not human verified

students achieving some sort of college career military ready indicator and

Unknown speaker not human verified

whether it's test scores or enlistment in the military and our CCM our result

Unknown speaker not human verified

was a 94 that is again up from last year 74% of our students met one of those

Unknown speaker not human verified

indicators the state is again behind the district in the CCM ours for our

Unknown speaker not human verified

graduation rate for this indicator we're looking at the state definition for

Unknown speaker not human verified

graduation rate we'll get into a little bit of the differences in a subsequent

Unknown speaker not human verified

slide but for our four-year graduation rate we're again up over last year five

Unknown speaker not human verified

five-year and six-year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You can see that the state is declining in one of those,

Unknown speaker not human verified

but we're up in all those areas.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So our graduation total of 90 is, again, up over 2018.

Unknown speaker not human verified

What's interesting is you'll see the four-year, five-year,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and six-year are all above 90%, but our indicator

Unknown speaker not human verified

is only a 90.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The state does a scaling.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It has been stated that graduation rates across Texas

Unknown speaker not human verified

are high.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and so the state actually scales down our graduation rate numbers. So we could be at a 99 graduation rate, but our scale would go down to about a 97. So I know, it's a little bit confusing, but our graduation rate is well above 90, and our four-year students graduating in four years is 94.8.

Unknown speaker not human verified

so in our school progress domain we're looking again at students who are growing one year from

Unknown speaker not human verified

2018 to 2019 so again all of our indicators for reading math and total are up over 29 to over

Unknown speaker not human verified

2018 where is the state's going down this is a big result of a push to really help students and

Unknown speaker not human verified

teachers understand where students are and where they need to be and want to be and so once that

Unknown speaker not human verified

awareness is there with teachers and students alike then they know where

Unknown speaker not human verified

they're going and and students are working really hard as well as teachers

Unknown speaker not human verified

to have that one year growth so again that scaling actually goes up our

Unknown speaker not human verified

closing the gaps domain is our third and final domain this is to meet the federal

Unknown speaker not human verified

requirements set out by the US Department of Education and so this is

Unknown speaker not human verified

where we're going to have a little bit of a different graduation conversation

Unknown speaker not human verified

There's two ways to configure graduation. One is the state definition and it

Unknown speaker not human verified

includes exclusions for students who are court-ordered GED who they don't include

Unknown speaker not human verified

students who've dropped out previously but come back and graduate. So there's

Unknown speaker not human verified

several sets of students that the state graduation rate does not include. The

Unknown speaker not human verified

federal includes everyone. So you are going to see some different numbers with

Unknown speaker not human verified

graduation rate. Closing the gaps domain uses the federal definition. We met all

Unknown speaker not human verified

of our indicators for academic achievement all of our targets for every

Unknown speaker not human verified

student group so that's that's that 100% across the top our graduation rate is

Unknown speaker not human verified

down at 44% and I'm going to get into that detail to understand that 44% a

Unknown speaker not human verified

little bit better because that is not our graduation rate that's the indicator

Unknown speaker not human verified

our EO proficiency we're at a hundred percent there for students growing one

Unknown speaker not human verified

year learning the English language and our school quality indicator is looking

Unknown speaker not human verified

looking at approaches, meets, and masters all combined in college career military readiness.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And we're at 100% for every student group there as well.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So our total for closing the gaps domain is a 95.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that 44% for the graduation rate indicator.

Unknown speaker not human verified

New for 2019, the target for

Unknown speaker not human verified

every student group is 90% graduation rate for the federal target.

Unknown speaker not human verified

However, the state added an additional clause in for this year,

Unknown speaker not human verified

saying that even if a student group was above 90% if they did not increase a

Unknown speaker not human verified

tenth of a point over the previous year they would include that as not meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

the indicator so that detail is in that slot in that chart down on the left so

Unknown speaker not human verified

you can see our all student group class of 2017 was 93.6 class of 2018 93.7 so

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we went up a tenth of a point, so that student group is included in the 44%.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are student groups that are well above the 90%.

Unknown speaker not human verified

For example, our Asian student population at 97.9, but because they fell to 97.5, they are not included in the percent of indicators met.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So it's just an additional clause that got thrown in there, and so we strive to be increasing that a tenth of a point every student group every year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The only situation where this does not apply is once you reach 100%.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you maintain the 100%, you don't have to go up to 100.1.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that's the only example.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So just as a reminder, we include those are our federal graduation rates and the state graduation rates are on the right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And that's really what we most commonly refer to as the KDISD graduation rates are the state ones on the right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

so campus ratings overall we had 54% of our elementaries are in an overall a 34%

Unknown speaker not human verified

B and 12% an overall C our junior highs are at 53% overall a 47% overall B high

Unknown speaker not human verified

schools at 44 a and 56% earning a B so for Katie is D you can see the 52% a's

Unknown speaker not human verified

40% B's and 8% C's overall.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Campus distinction designations have been around for many years.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There have been very few changes to this process.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Campuses have to receive an A, B, C or D rating to be eligible to receive them and all of

Unknown speaker not human verified

our campuses are.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Campuses are grouped with 40 light campuses based on a series of demographics into comparison

Unknown speaker not human verified

groups.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And they're ranked in the areas of reading ELA, math, science, social studies, looking

Unknown speaker not human verified

at that progress, are we growing students from one year to the next, and then what do

Unknown speaker not human verified

we look like in domain three with closing the gaps, what is that score in comparison

Unknown speaker not human verified

to those 40 light campuses, as well as post-secondary readiness.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is an example of a distinction designation report.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So they take all 40 campuses and they put us in quartiles.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And so this is an example of a campus that earned the ELA distinction and you

Unknown speaker not human verified

can see that they were in quartile one in all but two of their areas that

Unknown speaker not human verified

they're measured on. So every campus gets this page for every one of those

Unknown speaker not human verified

indicators. So in summary we are the largest school district in Texas with an

Unknown speaker not human verified

overall A. That is one small line on this slide but it's a huge huge feat and

Unknown speaker not human verified

in a very exciting statement to be able to make.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katy ISD campuses all received overall ratings of A, B, or C.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All secondary campuses received an overall A or B.

Unknown speaker not human verified

52% of Katy ISD campuses received an overall rating of A.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In the largest 25 districts in Texas, Katy is one of eight,

Unknown speaker not human verified

where 100% of campuses scored A, B, or C.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And in the 10 largest districts in Texas,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katie has the highest percent of campuses meeting all eligible distinctions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So not only are they hitting the mark, they're blowing all their peers out of the water.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In the 10 largest districts in Texas, Katie has the highest percent of total campus distinction designations met,

Unknown speaker not human verified

65 percent out of all those that are eligible.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So with that, I'll be happy to take any questions you have about the accountability system at this time.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you. Board members, does anybody have any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, I have a question. Dr. Matney, thank you for the presentation.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I do wonder why in the student domain did we get an overall rating of 89, yet on page 9 none of those numbers were below a 90?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, ma'am. One of the additional pieces of the accountability system is if any campus receives a D or an F for a domain,

Unknown speaker not human verified

domain the highest the district can receive is an 89 and we did have one

Unknown speaker not human verified

campus with a D in domain one okay otherwise we would have had a 92 all

Unknown speaker not human verified

right and then another one on page 12 the overall C for the elementary yes how

Unknown speaker not human verified

does this let me let me go back to page 12 do how does this compare to last year

Unknown speaker not human verified

So last year all campuses were met standard or improvement required. There were no letter grades for campuses last year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So the overall C of the 12% for the elementary, is there a way to compare that to last year, how well we did?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, we did model our data and so although it wasn't official, we did have three campuses that would have been in that box for last year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

three elementaries with an overall seat all right and then one last question the

Unknown speaker not human verified

four-year five-year six-year I understand that that's the state

Unknown speaker not human verified

definition but can you give me an example of a six-year graduation

Unknown speaker not human verified

absolutely so it's possible that students so students obviously we want

Unknown speaker not human verified

them on track to graduate in four years if they do not graduate by August 31st

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the year that they are intended to graduate then they come back as a

Unknown speaker not human verified

continuer and then they can graduate their fifth year if they graduate their

Unknown speaker not human verified

fifth year they're included in five year and a student who may come into the

Unknown speaker not human verified

country late in their high school career so they may be missing English credits

Unknown speaker not human verified

they may be missing social studies credits it may take them a little bit

Unknown speaker not human verified

longer to get through yes thank you dr. matinee and I'm really really proud of

Unknown speaker not human verified

KDIC for the great grades that we got.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Are there any other questions?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Gasol.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I just want to echo that and say I'm sure everybody wants to say it, but, you know,

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's just, those are incredible statistics and a testimony to the educators in this district

Unknown speaker not human verified

that show up every day, every day, and the administrators who support them and the paras

Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, Dr. Grigorski, board members,

Unknown speaker not human verified

my 4-year-old daughter is very excited to see me working at home with a pink folder.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And my 7-month-old son was just interested in trying to eat it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But I will tell you a really good piece of update is he said his first word and he's been saying it all day and that first word is da-da.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There you go.

Unknown speaker not human verified

What you had before you, trustees, are changes to three board policies.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I kind of want to walk you through them.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I know we have had this discussion, but I wanted to get on the record so that when members of the community see changes moving forward,

Unknown speaker not human verified

we can refer back to this to sort of help explain why we're doing business the way we're doing business moving forward.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The Texas legislature met earlier this year in the 86 legislature,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and part of that legislation, which I talked about briefly after a public comment one day,

Unknown speaker not human verified

was directly related to the Texas Open Meetings Act and created some changes in that law,

Unknown speaker not human verified

specifically House Bill 2840, revised the Texas Government Code Section 551.007.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It actually added it, and that's a section related specifically to public comment.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm going to go over those changes in a minute, but those changes will follow what is going to be a change,

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think, in your normal practice here.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Everybody remembers last month we had one meeting.

Unknown speaker not human verified

with one regular board meeting in July and after discussion after

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent's cabinet discussion and with staff and also discussion with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

board we found out that that one meeting actually worked pretty well it works

Unknown speaker not human verified

pretty well if the board will get a draft agenda ahead of time in order to

Unknown speaker not human verified

prepare their questions and then I think what what it will ultimately do is

Unknown speaker not human verified

sponsor a little bit maybe a little more questions maybe upfront at the meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

because you won't have an opportunity to then email administration and get answers to your questions between meetings.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I think that's actually going to be something that

Unknown speaker not human verified

may give the public a little more insight in some of the questions that you may have on agenda items moving forward.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But moving to one meeting per month in the future,

Unknown speaker not human verified

by doing that, by saying we're going to do that,

Unknown speaker not human verified

this board is really putting an emphasis on

Unknown speaker not human verified

being prepared for the meetings, which everyone, I can I can testify to, everyone is

Unknown speaker not human verified

well prepared for these meetings and making sure that your staff staff members also prepare it it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

going to move us uh back in our timeline about two weeks as the administration prepares for things

Unknown speaker not human verified

but it's really going to work well i think with our calendar moving forward especially when we

Unknown speaker not human verified

get to those months like november where we have a substantial break march where we have a substantial

Unknown speaker not human verified

break december and then everybody knows how hard it is to get everybody together during the summer

Unknown speaker not human verified

month so i think it's it's something that is going to be as we look at efficiencies for the district

Unknown speaker not human verified

moving forward. If you'll notice the change and I'm going to and I'm going to

Unknown speaker not human verified

go to the first change the very minor change that's in that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

your board policy i simply change that the regular meetings will be held at 5 30. now everybody knows

Unknown speaker not human verified

that we come out here at 5 30 and we open the meeting and we go to closed meeting at that point

Unknown speaker not human verified

in time so that's really not a change in the way that our practice has been it just clarifies the

Unknown speaker not human verified

rent-a-do it at 5 30. nothing in your policy is going to abrogate you if this board ever feels

Unknown speaker not human verified

like hey we do need to have a work study meeting or we need to have a special meeting that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

something you can always do so just because we're going to move forward with one month with with one

Unknown speaker not human verified

meeting per month that doesn't say hey maybe we get to march and we've got a ton of personnel

Unknown speaker not human verified

issues that we need to discuss because we're hiring administrators or we're looking at

Unknown speaker not human verified

baseball fields or whatever it may be that you feel like you need an additional meeting on that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

always going to be within your prerogative to do some so not nothing in your in your board policy

Unknown speaker not human verified

has changed to abrogate that um what we did do is you'll see there is a change in policy dc

Unknown speaker not human verified

local and that's regard in regards to employment practices so everybody's

Unknown speaker not human verified

saying okay we're gonna have one board meeting a month why would we need to

Unknown speaker not human verified

revise the way we do our employment practices well what you have done and I

Unknown speaker not human verified

want to remind you I want you to think back as a board think about what we do

Unknown speaker not human verified

during the summer time during the summer time your board policy says from June 1

Unknown speaker not human verified

to August 31 you give the superintendent authority to hire contractual personnel

Unknown speaker not human verified

so the way that the law works in the state of Texas is that the Board of

Unknown speaker not human verified

trustees has final authority on hiring contractual personnel. You can obviously

Unknown speaker not human verified

delegate that authority and you do so during the summertime the superintendent

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the reason you do so is because that's a really quick hiring period for

Unknown speaker not human verified

us right we have a lot of turnover during the summer that's when teachers

Unknown speaker not human verified

give us our notice we have some administrative changes and it allows a

Unknown speaker not human verified

district of our size to move in the direction that we need to with

Unknown speaker not human verified

professional staff. What you'll see in here is that by the adoption of this

Unknown speaker not human verified

policy you've also designated the superintendent that authority with contractual personnel

Unknown speaker not human verified

with those positions who are below a principal and i say below those i'm just thinking about on

Unknown speaker not human verified

our salary schedule not that anyone is below a principal but as i think about our salary schedule

Unknown speaker not human verified

and those equivalent positions and what that will allow us to do instead of you know every two weeks

Unknown speaker not human verified

now or every every uh every time we have a board meeting you see personnel action right and you

Unknown speaker not human verified

you guys get the personnel report and you come out here item 3.1 you approve

Unknown speaker not human verified

the personnel report what that will do is it will allow the superintendent and

Unknown speaker not human verified

his administrative staff some freedom to go ahead and hire teachers as they need

Unknown speaker not human verified

to hire teachers to fill those positions instead of having to wait if we're going

Unknown speaker not human verified

to only going to have one meeting a month instead of having to wait until

Unknown speaker not human verified

the end of the month to do so superintendent is going to have the

Unknown speaker not human verified

authority to do so throughout the year now of course you're going to get this

Unknown speaker not human verified

this information you're going to continue to be updated on it just like

Unknown speaker not human verified

you are during the summer so that's just a little procedural change and a little delegation of

Unknown speaker not human verified

authority but i think it makes a ton of sense especially in the district as large as kdisd with

Unknown speaker not human verified

as many employees and teachers as we have to hire so the last thing i want to talk about is kind of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the first thing i started with changes in the texas open meeting act related to public comment

Unknown speaker not human verified

you will see your bed local i've gone in that red line and tried to clarify some of the things we've

Unknown speaker not human verified

done. I want to reiterate to this board that I don't think anything in here with

Unknown speaker not human verified

the exception of having public, moving public comment up to the very beginning

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the meeting. So what we're going to do now is we're going to come out at 530,

Unknown speaker not human verified

we're going to open the meeting, then we're going to hear from members of our

Unknown speaker not human verified

public, and then we're going to adjourn to our closed meeting, and then we're

Unknown speaker not human verified

going to hold our meetings as we've regularly done. That is the only change

Unknown speaker not human verified

really operationally that I see in here. And let me tell you, and let me tell you

Unknown speaker not human verified

about that, okay? By doing so, members of your public are no longer going to have

Unknown speaker not human verified

to wait until the very end of the meeting to address the board they're not going to have to

Unknown speaker not human verified

wait and hear all of the business that we're doing they're going to be able to address that to you

Unknown speaker not human verified

ahead of time the law currently as amended requires that members of the public be allowed to comment

Unknown speaker not human verified

on agenda items so anything that's on your board agenda members of the public are going to be

Unknown speaker not human verified

allowed to come up here and talk to you about right um i saw the budgets but you know we adopted the

Unknown speaker not human verified

budget so if a member wants to come up here and say why was this in the budget i think you need

Unknown speaker not human verified

to consider xyz or the naming of jordan high school hey board members i think you need to

Unknown speaker not human verified

consider naming it an alternative or i do want to speak on that we have always allowed in this

Unknown speaker not human verified

district members of the public to speak about anything that's on the agenda that's not a change

Unknown speaker not human verified

in process we've always allowed that if there's something on the agenda we allow you to speak

Unknown speaker not human verified

about it what we're doing here by moving it to the beginning of the meeting is allowing you to

Unknown speaker not human verified

weigh in on it before an action is taken. So let's say for example tonight if we

Unknown speaker not human verified

have the public comment at the beginning of the meeting then anybody that wants

Unknown speaker not human verified

to speak about Jordan High School can do so before you actually vote. If it's at

Unknown speaker not human verified

the end of the meeting well you've already taken action on naming the high

Unknown speaker not human verified

school Jordan High School and so if a member wanted to speak on that topic it

Unknown speaker not human verified

may be considered a moot point. That's a change in the law and I think it's going

Unknown speaker not human verified

to be beneficial for you. And it's good I think it's going to be again as we look

Unknown speaker not human verified

at efficiencies in our meeting I think it's really going to hone us in on what

Unknown speaker not human verified

is on the agenda and what is it that members of the public can speak about.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Now you'll see in here one of the one of the areas that I that I think the

Unknown speaker not human verified

legislature did a very good job with is defining criticism and I will tell you

Unknown speaker not human verified

I've been with this board for the last three years and I know some of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

criticism that it is faced and I don't think that this board has ever shied

Unknown speaker not human verified

away from criticism of its actions, criticism of what it as a body decides

Unknown speaker not human verified

to do. In fact I think we welcomed it in certain areas certainly when we do a

Unknown speaker not human verified

rezoning you know we're looking at our attendance boundary modification

Unknown speaker not human verified

certainly that's an area where we really want public feedback and oftentimes it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

criticism because anytime you move people around. But what that law now says

Unknown speaker not human verified

551.007 of the Texas Government Code and I encourage anybody who has a question

Unknown speaker not human verified

about what is criticism to go look at that. What it does is it talks about

Unknown speaker not human verified

discussion can be of any district or board act, omission, policy, procedure,

Unknown speaker not human verified

program, service, or agenda item. But what it talks about is it being board

Unknown speaker not human verified

business and it being criticism of the governing body. So you as trustees are

Unknown speaker not human verified

the governing body not just one trustee you mr uh redmond you're not the governing body mr lacy you

Unknown speaker not human verified

by yourself not the governing body in fact if it's three if it's miss champaign mr redmond mr lacy you

Unknown speaker not human verified

still don't have the governing body until you have a quorum present at a duly called meeting where

Unknown speaker not human verified

action is being taken so when we talk about criticism we're really going to narrow it down to

Unknown speaker not human verified

criticism of the business that is before the board so criticism what we may consider what

Unknown speaker not human verified

what some may consider criticism of individuals,

Unknown speaker not human verified

is still not prohibited to be public.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You're still gonna have to go through

Unknown speaker not human verified

the appropriate grievance channels.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you have problems with an employee

Unknown speaker not human verified

or problems with a student issue,

Unknown speaker not human verified

you're still gonna have to be directed

Unknown speaker not human verified

to the appropriate administrative channels.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But what we're really gonna hone in on is,

Unknown speaker not human verified

hey, we allow criticism.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Hey, we want your feedback.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We wanna know if you think

Unknown speaker not human verified

that there's a viable alternative, tell us about it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But we're not gonna allow individual attacks

Unknown speaker not human verified

on employees, board members, trustees, or staff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's not going to happen.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And again, I do not think that this is a break from our current practice.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I really don't.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think that this is just a codification in the law of how we currently do things.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And again, I think it will be helpful because, again,

Unknown speaker not human verified

you're not going to get members of the public that have to come

Unknown speaker not human verified

and they have to sign up 15 minutes before the meeting.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, they have always had to wait until the end of the meeting,

Unknown speaker not human verified

is in at least in the three years that i've been here always have to had to wait until the end of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the meeting now they're going to be able to sign up it before 5 15 5 30 hits they're going to be

Unknown speaker not human verified

able to address the board and then the board will be able to consider their feedback as it takes

Unknown speaker not human verified

action on items moving forward throughout the meeting i feel like i may have i i'm trying to

Unknown speaker not human verified

merge the ideas of the fact that we are have that we are moving to one meeting because of efficiency

Unknown speaker not human verified

reasons along with the changes in public comment to sort of give what I say is a

Unknown speaker not human verified

foundational structure for our meetings moving forward which I really do not

Unknown speaker not human verified

think is a break in our current practice other than moving that public comment to

Unknown speaker not human verified

the beginning of the meeting having said that I'm prepared to take any questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

that this board may add I know you've already taken action to approve it but

Unknown speaker not human verified

if anybody has any questions or needs clarification I'm here for questions

Ashley Vann not human verified

Board members, does anybody have any questions for Mr. Graham?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Okay.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Thank you for explaining that.

Item 9.1

Ashley Vann not human verified

Next on our agenda is 9.1, donated items to Katy Independent School District.

Ashley Vann not human verified

The board has been provided a copy of the donated items.

Item 9.2

Ashley Vann not human verified

9.2, certification of anticipated tax collection rates for 2019-2020.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Again, the board has been notified of the anticipated 2019-2020 tax collection rate

Ashley Vann not human verified

for Fort Bend, Waller, and Harris County.

Ashley Vann not human verified

and 9.3 appraisal district budgets for 2020 the board was provided a copy of

Item 9.3

Ashley Vann not human verified

the appraisal district budgets as well our future meetings as you heard miss

Item 10

Ashley Vann not human verified

Graham mr. Graham sorry just explained that our next Board of Trustees meeting

Ashley Vann not human verified

will be on September 23rd it will be one meeting at our regular meeting September

Ashley Vann not human verified

23rd 2019 with that the board will now set up the room to hear a level 3

Items 11.2 & 13

Ashley Vann not human verified

grievance numbers FNG 18037 and 038. If at any point in time the subject matter deviates to

Ashley Vann not human verified

that which must be heard in closed session, such as complaints against staff, the Board will stop

Ashley Vann not human verified

the meeting and convene in closed meeting as authorized under Section 551.001 of the Texas

Ashley Vann not human verified

Government Code for the following purposes. Texas Government Code 551.071, 551.129, 551.0821,

Ashley Vann not human verified

and 551.074. Mr. Graham, can you briefly explain why this hearing may be held in open session?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes. Trustees, tonight we have, at least for the first time in my tenure, we have a grievance that

Unknown speaker not human verified

has been requested to be heard in an open meeting and is actually lawfully suited to do so.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When you have an issue that is related to a student matter, the government code allows the

Unknown speaker not human verified

board of trustees to convene to closed session to talk about that issue to hear

Unknown speaker not human verified

the grievance and what that is intended to do is that's intended to provide that

Unknown speaker not human verified

particular student and parent the privacy to address the board about

Unknown speaker not human verified

whatever sensitive issue may need to happen that right can unilaterally be

Unknown speaker not human verified

waived by the complainant can be waived by the parent or the student and that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

what we have here we have a parent that is bringing forward a transfer appeal

Unknown speaker not human verified

directly related to her student and has asked for this meeting to be held openly

Unknown speaker not human verified

so we're gonna hold this meeting in an open session but we're gonna ask again

Unknown speaker not human verified

that our rules of decorum be followed so at this point time we can have the

Unknown speaker not human verified

complainant come up to the right side and we can have our administration our

Unknown speaker not human verified

administrators come up to the left side I will tell you that even though that

Unknown speaker not human verified

this is that this is an issue about a transfer this is not an opportunity for

Unknown speaker not human verified

the airing of grievances against employees if at any point in time we move into a realm of

Unknown speaker not human verified

discussion or complaints or concerns against employees it is that employee's individual right

Unknown speaker not human verified

to have that heard in closed session so if we get in that gray area i'm going to go ahead and say

Unknown speaker not human verified

madam president i think we need to adjourn the closed meeting at which point we'll clear the room

Unknown speaker not human verified

and so having said that where's our complainant and then madam president i'll turn it back over

Ashley Vann not human verified

over for you to you thank you mr. Graham this proceeding will be recorded to

Ashley Vann not human verified

ensure that an accurate record is kept Daniel are we recording yes we are

Ashley Vann not human verified

welcome my name is Courtney Doyle and I'm the president of the board for the

Ashley Vann not human verified

record today is Monday August 26 2019 the time is 713 at this time members of

Ashley Vann not human verified

the board we will move to agenda item 11.2 which is to conduct a level 3 FNG

Ashley Vann not human verified

complaint brought forward by Ms. Jacinta Green, her parent, case number FNG18-37 and 038 combined.

Ashley Vann not human verified

At this time, I would like to instruct all participants to please avoid talking when

Ashley Vann not human verified

another person is speaking so that the recording will accurately reflect the proceedings.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Furthermore, please endeavor to make your oral statements as clear and complete as possible.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Remember that the recording will not reflect gestures or any other form of nonverbal communication.

Ashley Vann not human verified

This hearing will be conducted as an administrative presentation in accordance

Ashley Vann not human verified

with applicable policies and laws. It will be based on the record made from

Ashley Vann not human verified

the previous level. The board members have been supplied with a copy of this

Ashley Vann not human verified

record in advance of this hearing. No new evidence shall be presented. This record

Ashley Vann not human verified

includes student complaint forms at level 1, level 1 response, notice of

Ashley Vann not human verified

appeal at level 2, level 2 response, notice of appeal at level 3, audio

Ashley Vann not human verified

recordings of the level 1 and level 2 hearings. Now that we have reviewed the

Ashley Vann not human verified

procedures for the hearing, it is time to determine the qualifications of the board

Ashley Vann not human verified

members to hear and consider this matter.

Ashley Vann not human verified

At this time, I will poll the members of the board as to whether they can consider the

Ashley Vann not human verified

information presented at this hearing and make a decision in a fair and impartial manner.

Ashley Vann not human verified

If any member of the board feels that he or she cannot do so, the board member should

Ashley Vann not human verified

so state at this time and not participate in the hearing.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Lacey, can you make a fair and impartial decision on this matter?

Bill Lacy not human verified

Yes, ma'am, I can.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Vann, can you make a fair and impartial decision on this matter?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Yes, I can.

Ashley Vann not human verified

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Ashley Vann not human verified

The record reflect that all members of the board present have indicated that they can

Ashley Vann not human verified

consider this information presented at this hearing and make a fair and impartial decision

Ashley Vann not human verified

on this manner.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Members of the board, I'm going to ask that you hold your questions, if any, until the

Ashley Vann not human verified

conclusion of the presentation by both sides.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Green, you have 10 minutes to make your presentation to the board.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Do you wish to reserve a portion of your allotted time for any rebuttal?

Ashley Vann not human verified

And if so, you must indicate the specific number of whole minutes you want to reserve

Ashley Vann not human verified

at this time.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. I reserve three minutes for rebuttal.

Ashley Vann not human verified

3. Time will be kept on the monitors overhead.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Green, you may proceed with your presentation at this time.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So quickly, I want to address the fact that this session actually started off as a closed session.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And the first question I need answered is why was it a closed session

Unknown speaker not human verified

and why did it change to open session about five minutes before the scheduled time?

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's my first question.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second question. I've presented, well requested, this hearing in a very timely manner. Why, if students are the focus of KDISD, why would this hearing regarding what school my children are going to attend, why would it happen almost two weeks after school starts?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second question. The most important part of it is I was told that my students renewal transfer was denied because I was not an employee at the time of requesting the transfer, which is false.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I requested a transfer at the very beginning of April. I was sitting at my desk at single ranch high school at the time of requesting that transfer being renewed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

on April 23rd is when I received notice that both Jaheim Green and Raheem Green's renewal

Unknown speaker not human verified

transfer was denied because I am not an employee. On that very same day as well,

Unknown speaker not human verified

I was sitting at my desk at Single Ranch High School and I was working.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I also need to point out that on May 9th 2019 KTISD told the Department of Unemployment Benefits that

Unknown speaker not human verified

they are fighting my unemployment claim because I am still employed by the district so it's really

Unknown speaker not human verified

weird how at the beginning of April I can be not employed and then on May night I can be employed

Unknown speaker not human verified

it again i need to know what the real factual reason for the denial is and what supports your

Unknown speaker not human verified

reason for denying them also aside from the issue of whether or not i'm working for kdisd because i

Unknown speaker not human verified

worked for kdisd up until may 24th i was told in the meeting with dr robertson that there is a

Unknown speaker not human verified

clause that states that a student can apply to stay at their school for one year regardless

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the reason for the renewal transfer. And I specifically stated in that level two meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

that I wanted my children's transfer considered under that clause or whatever it was that

Unknown speaker not human verified

he brought up in the recorded meeting. So once again, my third question is what is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

The actual reason why they're renewal was denied.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Now, lastly, I want to address what was requested of me by email about five minutes before this meeting started.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When I was informed that instead of a closed session, I would have an open session,

Unknown speaker not human verified

I was also asked not to bring up anything about retaliation, discrimination, or racial comments in the past.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm wondering why I would not be able to bring that up when those things are

Unknown speaker not human verified

directly related to my children's transfer is being denied as I just presented all of the other information

Unknown speaker not human verified

It was not denied because I wasn't an employee because I was working for KDISD when I requested it

Unknown speaker not human verified

It was not denied for any other reason except for the fact that it was retaliation for my previous complaints

Unknown speaker not human verified

So why would I not be able to bring those up?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Before I close, these are my proposed remedies. After all this district has put me and my children

Unknown speaker not human verified

through, I believe we should be allowed to go to whatever school they want to go to. If I say I

Unknown speaker not human verified

want them to go to McDonald's, they should be able to go. If I say I want them to go to Morton Ranch,

Unknown speaker not human verified

they should be able to go. When I initially purchased my home in Katy, we were zoned for

Unknown speaker not human verified

Morton Ranch. But, you know, since Katy has built about 10 schools in the last two years, and there's

Unknown speaker not human verified

There's a lot of moving around going on, you know, I guess trying to keep the old money away from the new money.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Their school has changed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Their zoned school has changed every year since we moved here.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So my remedy, my proposal is that they be allowed to go to the school that I picked for them.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is my oldest one's last year in junior high.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Next year when he begins high school, he should not have to worry or have the threat of being put out of his school like he was this year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the same thing for my seventh grader when he starts high school.

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's my remedy.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Is that all, Ms. Green?

Ashley Vann not human verified

You have two minutes left.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, I know.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm trying to think if there's anything else that I want to.

Ashley Vann not human verified

I'll just let the time run down then to make sure that you have said everything you need to say.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Oh, that's fine.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I did want to add that there were some people on my Facebook page and some of them were

Unknown speaker not human verified

KDISD employees and they were there to suggest that maybe my children's renewal transfer

Unknown speaker not human verified

was denied because of space and other random things, but I do want to state that at all

Unknown speaker not human verified

levels when it was denied the first time by campus administration when it was

Unknown speaker not human verified

denied the second time by Miss Nicholas when is denied the third time by Dr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Robertson no one ever mentioned anything about space so it was really

Unknown speaker not human verified

inappropriate for the district to have their little peons to reply to my

Unknown speaker not human verified

protected activity which is my post on Facebook especially with erroneous

Unknown speaker not human verified

information because if it was about space that could have been stated the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the very first time they were denied.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And it would have made everything much easier.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But at every level, it was stated that they were denied because I am not an employee of

Unknown speaker not human verified

KDISD.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I was at every meeting.

Unknown speaker not human verified

One minute.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In the last 30 seconds, I'll add that as an educator and someone who's been in education

Unknown speaker not human verified

for a long time, I know some of the most important things about transfer students are grades

Unknown speaker not human verified

and behavior and attendance, and all of those were great for both of my sons.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So, like I said, I need to know the real, actual reason why their renewal transfer was denied,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and I need to see what evidence supports what you're going to say.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Thank you, Ms. Green.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Stocks, will you be making the presentation on behalf of the administration?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Stocks, you have 10 minutes to make the presentation.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Do you wish to reserve a portion of your allotted time for any rebuttal?

Ashley Vann not human verified

and if so, you must indicate the specific number of whole minutes you want to reserve at this time.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Time will be kept on the monitors overhead.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Stocks, you may proceed with your presentation at this time.

Unknown speaker not human verified

President Doyle, Dr. Gorski, board members,

Unknown speaker not human verified

in April of 2019, Ms. Green applied for student transfers for children.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Okay, Mr. Stocks, if you could start over, please.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Sure.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In April of last year, Ms. Green applied for student transfers for her children.

Unknown speaker not human verified

for her children, incoming kindergartner Imani, who is requesting Fielder, rising seventh-grader Rahim,

Unknown speaker not human verified

who is requesting Cinco Ranch Junior High, and rising eighth-grader Jaheim, requesting Cinco Ranch Junior High,

Unknown speaker not human verified

using the KDISD employee provision found in FDB Local.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This provision states that a full-time district employee may request a transfer for his or her child

Unknown speaker not human verified

to attend the school closest to the actual work site of the employee.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As an aside, Rahim and Jaheim attended Cinco Ranch Junior High last year with this transfer based on Mrs. Green's status as a district employee working at Cinco Ranch High School.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So in essence, she was seeking to renew that transfer.

Unknown speaker not human verified

However, her employment with the district was terminated on April 22nd.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So the transfer request was denied April 23rd because she would not be a full-time employee with the district for the 2019.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As required by the policy.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Green appealed this decision through FNG. Dr. Steve Robertson heard the level 1 FNG and ruled

Unknown speaker not human verified

that the denial of the transfer was appropriate because Ms. Green would not be an employee with

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district during the 2019-2020 school year. Dr. Robertson, however, did recognize that the

Unknown speaker not human verified

kindergartner, Imani, was eligible for a transfer to Fielder because an older sibling attended

Unknown speaker not human verified

fielder. Thus Imani's transfer was approved for this reason without Ms.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Green having to file a new request. Also the transfer fee was waived. Ms.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Green appealed the decision for Rahim and Jaheim. She asserted that the

Unknown speaker not human verified

transfer should have been approved since she was employed by the district at the

Unknown speaker not human verified

time of the request. She also asserted that the transfers were denied as

Unknown speaker not human verified

retaliation for racial complaints and other complaints she had made against

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district. As a level two hearing officer, I ruled that since she would not

Unknown speaker not human verified

be an employee for the 2019-2020 school year, then the employee provision was not

Unknown speaker not human verified

in effect. I found no evidence of retaliation. In fact, I found that Dr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Robertson acted in good faith by recognizing that Imani would be eligible

Unknown speaker not human verified

for a transfer for a reason other than that requested, and he ensured that

Unknown speaker not human verified

Imani's transfer was approved without the fee having to be paid. The ruling at

Unknown speaker not human verified

level 1 was upheld and the district transfer requests were

Unknown speaker not human verified

denied. In the written level 3 appeal, Ms. Green states that Dr. Robertson

Unknown speaker not human verified

mentioned a one-time option to finish at the school. FDB local provides a

Unknown speaker not human verified

one-time option to remain at the current campus for high school students only.

Unknown speaker not human verified

only. Junior high and elementary students have a provision to

Unknown speaker not human verified

allow them to remain at their current campus for the remainder

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the school year if they move out of the attendance zone

Unknown speaker not human verified

during the school year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Neither of these provisions applies in this case.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Since Miss Green is not a full time district employee, and

Unknown speaker not human verified

since no other provisions apply to her request for transfers,

Unknown speaker not human verified

we are asking that the board uphold the decision made at

Unknown speaker not human verified

level 2. I will also state because of a very important

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Green has brought this up a number of occasions about being an employee at the time of the transfer request.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The way I read the policy, the policy says a full-time district employee living within district boundaries

Unknown speaker not human verified

may request a transfer for his or her child to attend the school closest to or actual work site of the employee.

Unknown speaker not human verified

To me, the intent of this policy is to provide teachers and staff and the district with convenience of having employees' children in close proximity to their work site.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Since Ms. Green is no longer employed by the district, she has no work site, and thus the employee provision does not apply in this case.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Green, at this time, you have reserved three minutes for a rebuttal.

Ashley Vann not human verified

You may make your rebuttal presentation on behalf of the complainant.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I heard him mention about Imani.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not only is that issue not valid right now because I'm not here about Imani,

Unknown speaker not human verified

but also according up until yesterday when I got a call from the registrar at Leonard,

Unknown speaker not human verified

up until yesterday, Imani is registered for Leonard.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So apparently her transfer was not approved.

Unknown speaker not human verified

approved. As far as full-time district employee, the way all of the denials were worded, it

Unknown speaker not human verified

said nothing about full-time district employee the following year or the year that you're

Unknown speaker not human verified

requesting it for. All of the denials stated verbatim that they are denied because I am

Unknown speaker not human verified

now currently not an employee of the district and I was an employee of the district up until

Unknown speaker not human verified

until May 23rd. There's no way that you can say on April 22nd I was not an employee when,

Unknown speaker not human verified

like I said, I was sitting at my desk at Single Ranch High School and I was working. And in

Unknown speaker not human verified

May, KDISD told the Office of Unemployment that I'm still an employee. So how can I not

Unknown speaker not human verified

be an employee on April 22nd or April 23rd and then again be an employee on May 1st?

Unknown speaker not human verified

There is nothing written in anything that I have received that said that it is only for full-time employees who will be working with the district next year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Nothing was worded like that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As far as the one-time provision that is supposedly for high school students only, Dr. Robertson is the assistant superintendent of secondary schools.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I find it very hard to believe that he didn't know that that applies to junior high school students and that it only applied to high school students.

Unknown speaker not human verified

In the recorded meeting with him, he specifically said that there was a one-time provision for

Unknown speaker not human verified

them to return to that school.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So if he made an error, my children and I should not have to suffer for the error he

Unknown speaker not human verified

made.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Also, I heard him mention that the one-time provision for junior high students are for

Unknown speaker not human verified

students who have moved out of KDISD school zone.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So if I have a junior high student who is actually still in KDISD school zone and they

Unknown speaker not human verified

are trying to use the one-time provision, I do not see what is the problem there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And also if the provision was only for high school students, why was that not in the written

Unknown speaker not human verified

response that Dr. Robertson sent me when he denied their renewal transcript again.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The written response that Dr. Robertson sent me

Unknown speaker not human verified

to deny their level two request for renewal transfer stated, once again, that I am not an employee of the district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not that I won't be one next year, but that I am not.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And it said nothing about that provision only being for high school students.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If that's what it states, why was I not told that before now?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Thank you, Ms. Green.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Stocks, at this time you have reserved two minutes.

Ashley Vann not human verified

For our rebuttal, you may make your rebuttal presentation on behalf of the administration.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Just would like to reiterate that the administration's position on the employee provision is that the employee status applies to the time during the year that the transfer is in request, for which the year the transfer is requested.

Unknown speaker not human verified

requested. So for an employee to use, for someone to use the employee provision for this coming school year, they would need to be employed during the school year as it makes the most sense for the reason for that transfer. Also, we are unaware of the enrollment status of Imani. I looked at eSchool Plus today, which is our student information system.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and Imani shows to be in that system to be a student at Fielder and marked

Unknown speaker not human verified

unexcused for basically for this for the first days of the school year if

Unknown speaker not human verified

there's a problem with with her enrollment she is she has had that

Unknown speaker not human verified

transfer request granted and we can make that happen if if they don't show that

Unknown speaker not human verified

record correctly. I have nothing further. Madam President. There's still 30 seconds left and

Unknown speaker not human verified

there's a question that he didn't answer. I addressed it to him and to everyone else. If

Unknown speaker not human verified

students are supposed to be the focal point, why is this meeting being held two weeks after school

Unknown speaker not human verified

started? I did present my request in a very timely manner. This is Mr. Stocks. That's fine. He said

Unknown speaker not human verified

he was finished and I wanted to give him a chance to actually answer that question that I presented

Ashley Vann not human verified

during my time right thank you mr. stocks nobody answered members of the

Ashley Vann not human verified

board do you have any questions for either administration or miss green if

Ashley Vann not human verified

there are no questions from the board members this proceeding is concluded the

Ashley Vann not human verified

The Board may elect to make a decision during tonight's open meeting, August 26, 2019, or

Ashley Vann not human verified

may decide to take no action.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board members, at this time, if there's a motion pending, we can consider that motion

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ashley Vann not human verified
