Item 1

Unknown speaker not human verified

Noting that a quorum is present, I hereby call this regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Katy ISD, Katy Independent School District, to order.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Today is Monday, November the 18th, 2019, and the time is 5.31 p.m.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dr. Gorgorski, will you verify that we are in compliance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act with regard to the notice of this meeting?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Lacey, I do confirm we are in compliance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act for this meeting this evening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, we're going to start with the open forum session. Item number two, at this

Item 2

Unknown speaker not human verified

time the Board of Trustees will give members of the public an opportunity to

Unknown speaker not human verified

speak. A meeting that is in the open to the public under the Texas Open Meetings

Unknown speaker not human verified

Act is one that the public is permitted to attend. A governmental body

Unknown speaker not human verified

may give members of the public an equal opportunity to speak in a public meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

which KDISD Board Policy BED Local does allow. As defined by this Board Policy,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the first 20 speakers who signed up at least 15 minutes before this meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

began and have provided their first and last name will be allowed to speak. A

Unknown speaker not human verified

maximum of 30 minutes has been allotted with the time divided equally amongst

Unknown speaker not human verified

those who have signed up. However, the maximum amount of time for any one

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

problem matter administratively through proper channels as stated in board

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board policy, the presiding officer's designee shall advise the speaker to seek resolution

Unknown speaker not human verified

through the appropriate policy. Board policy BED legal states that it is a criminal offense for a

Unknown speaker not human verified

person with intent to prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting to subsequently obstruct or interfere

Unknown speaker not human verified

with the ordinary conduct of a meeting by physical action or verbal utterance and thereby curtail

Unknown speaker not human verified

the exercise of others' First Amendment rights.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board policy BED local provides with the removal of any member of the audience

Unknown speaker not human verified

after at least one warning who disrupts the meeting by his or her words or actions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Finally, pursuant to the Texas Government Code Sections 551.074 and 551.0821,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Board will not permit the presentation of personally identifiable information regarding a student

Unknown speaker not human verified

and will not discuss the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment,

Unknown speaker not human verified

duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee, or to hear a

Unknown speaker not human verified

complaint or charge against an officer or employee. Should a speaker wish to

Unknown speaker not human verified

address one of these issues, they must do so by going through the appropriate

Unknown speaker not human verified

local grievance policies, FNG local, DGBA local, or GF local. As I

Unknown speaker not human verified

When I announce your name, please come forward and state your first and last name for the record.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And our first speaker of the evening is Lee Lau.

Unknown speaker not human verified

L-I-L-U-O. Lee Lau.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You're fine.

Lee Lau not human verified

Good evening. Thank you for your time, Board Members. I would like to talk about one of the guidelines for exiting AP course, which is from the KDISD Secondary Grading and Reporting Handbook.

Lee Lau not human verified

So all the items that in that section is basically talk about when it comes for students to exit AP or AP courses, the guidelines that will be used in this situation.

Lee Lau not human verified

and one of the item one of the items says that student who earned an F at the end of a grading

Lee Lau not human verified

period will be removed from the class unless otherwise recommended by teacher and an

Lee Lau not human verified

administrator. So I think like because of the, let me refer to another item from

Lee Lau not human verified

the KDISD student right and responsibilities education code 26.

Lee Lau not human verified

Parents are partners with educators and administrators and the board in their

Lee Lau not human verified

children's education. So when it comes for remove students from the AP course, I

Lee Lau not human verified

think the parents decision should be considered as well. It's not just when

Lee Lau not human verified

students have a failed score at one grading period, they will

Lee Lau not human verified

will just be removed from the AP course.

Lee Lau not human verified

And especially when the exit regulations actually

Lee Lau not human verified

develop to encourage the students

Lee Lau not human verified

to persist in the courses, not to discourage them.

Lee Lau not human verified

So this is the thing that I recently

Lee Lau not human verified

came to my attention in the KDISD secondary grading

Lee Lau not human verified

and reporting handbook.

Lee Lau not human verified

I would like to have some discussion,

Lee Lau not human verified

like for maybe change a little bit like to involve parents in this whenever

Lee Lau not human verified

there's a failed score at just at one grading period so if the parent insists

Lee Lau not human verified

to have the students stay in the course and they should be allowed to that's

Lee Lau not human verified

basically what I'm trying to say this evening thank you so much thank you very

Unknown speaker not human verified

much next is Georgia Stripland good evening you guys I'm Georgia Strickland

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katie council president for all the PTAs thanks again for letting us speak I have

Unknown speaker not human verified

some awesome things that the PTAs are doing and I wanted to brag on them

Unknown speaker not human verified

Morton ranch is having a wreath making contest PTA will supply all the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the materials to the organizations that want to participate.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They'll get to make a wreath, it will be judged,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and whoever wins could win a pizza party

Unknown speaker not human verified

for their whole organization.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And the wreaths will be displayed around the campus

Unknown speaker not human verified

during the holidays.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Cardiff Junior High PTA hosted a game night in October

Unknown speaker not human verified

where students got to win books as prizes,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and it went very well.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They'll also be hosting a 5K holiday runner walk

Unknown speaker not human verified

in December to help benefit Santa Cops.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we're really excited about that one, joining forces there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Nottingham Country PTA purchased two brand new big soccer goals for the field to use for PE and recess.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They also purchased some clay and tools for their art class, and they are now getting ready for their holiday shop and breakfast with Santa.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Taylor High School PTSA, mind you, they're a brand new PTA to us,

Unknown speaker not human verified

has started a college support program to help team up seniors needing to help

Unknown speaker not human verified

needing help with their college application process with volunteers who

Unknown speaker not human verified

are willing to help them and as you saw Tye's junior high PTSA and their campus

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the Texans hosted an excuse me an official Houston Texans huddle last week

Unknown speaker not human verified

they made activity books for children's hospitals dog toys for cap and much much

Unknown speaker not human verified

more and we're extremely proud of all our PTAs. I know many of them are still

Unknown speaker not human verified

doing stuff they just don't want to brag about themselves and then my favorite

Unknown speaker not human verified

part of last week is Mark Teed and Ted Verling came to speak to my PTA

Unknown speaker not human verified

presidents. I hope they'll come back in future years. There was a lot of

Unknown speaker not human verified

questions, a lot of dialogue. The PTAs got to hear about fire codes and kind of

Unknown speaker not human verified

understand what they can and cannot do and building modification which is a big

Unknown speaker not human verified

one trying to understand why the process is a bit and I think they really enjoy

Unknown speaker not human verified

that opportunity and they there was a lot of questions as I appreciate both of

Unknown speaker not human verified

those gentlemen for coming out and giving them some time to hear that and

Unknown speaker not human verified

then my favorite part is we are now as of today thirty one thousand five

Unknown speaker not human verified

hundred and ninety one members strong so thank you so much and y'all enjoy your

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thanksgiving break Thank You Georgia

Unknown speaker not human verified

Our next speaker is James Strickland.

James Strickland not human verified

Good evening guys, James Strickland here, Men on Campus Update. So our district is in full force

James Strickland not human verified

with most of the campuses launched and running a successful watchdogs or male engagement program.

James Strickland not human verified

Just to reiterate, we are dedicated to the success of all the schools in KDISD and want to provide

James Strickland not human verified

the necessary tools to help them accomplish that. The biggest thing is we

James Strickland not human verified

have got a new website or new updated website features on menoncampus.com

James Strickland not human verified

and this allows the volunteers and the staff of the school who are actually

James Strickland not human verified

letting the volunteers come in to register the calendar for the dads to

James Strickland not human verified

actually see all this online so it takes a lot of the task and the burden off of

James Strickland not human verified

the schools. Scheduling, notifications, there's reminders, event RSVPs,

James Strickland not human verified

announcements and surveys. The reason I mentioned that is a lot of the schools

James Strickland not human verified

have five or six different websites that they're using either sign up genius or

James Strickland not human verified

surveys or just all sorts of different things and since this is all free and I

James Strickland not human verified

do this for a living I just built it all into one website so I wanted to put that

James Strickland not human verified

out there so if you know anybody that's known any schools that are using all

James Strickland not human verified

these different websites and they're kind of cumbersome and they're having to

James Strickland not human verified

pass it on to the next you know volunteers ten years from now it's a lot

James Strickland not human verified

of stuff to hold on to. But that's kind of it for men on campus. Definitely, you

James Strickland not human verified

know, seeking out new schools to launch. There's a few that are going to be like

James Strickland not human verified

Donuts with Dads, things like that here before the end of the year and in the

James Strickland not human verified

first of the new year. But with that said, Thanksgiving's right around the corner. I

James Strickland not human verified

want to thank each and every one of our district's volunteers and that of course

James Strickland not human verified

includes you guys. So I really appreciate you and Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you so

Unknown speaker not human verified

much this concludes the open portion of our meeting the board will now convene

Item 7.1

Unknown speaker not human verified

Item 7.1, Dr. Allison Matney, Executive Director of Research Assessment and Accountability,

Unknown speaker not human verified

will give a brief presentation on the TEA required targeted improvement plans.

Unknown speaker not human verified

afterward the Board of Trustees will receive public input regarding this

Unknown speaker not human verified

topic

Susan Gesoff not human verified

good evening vice president Lacey dr. Gorg or ski members of the board I'm here

Susan Gesoff not human verified

this evening to present this in the public hearing format our to campus

Susan Gesoff not human verified

targeted improvement plans as required by the Texas Education Agency the public

Susan Gesoff not human verified

hearing requirements this evening look to Texas Education Code 39A.057 for

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the guidance. We are here to notify the public of any insufficient performance,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

improvements in performance that are expected, interventions and sanctions

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that will happen if performance doesn't include improve, and then to solicit

Susan Gesoff not human verified

public comment on the two improvement plans. There's a range of accountability

Susan Gesoff not human verified

intervention at the state level and at the federal level and this evening we're

Susan Gesoff not human verified

talking about the two items that are highlighted in yellow a campus with a D

Susan Gesoff not human verified

in a domain and a campus in comprehensive support the perfor

Susan Gesoff not human verified

insufficient performance of Bear Creek Elementary we're looking at a domain D

Susan Gesoff not human verified

in domain one Bear Creek Elementary was assigned the letter grade of a D the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The reason is in Domain 1, as you know from previous presentations, we look at approaches plus meets plus masters grade level performance.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And the average of those three, the component score of 40 was scaled to a 69, giving us a D in Domain 1 for Bear Creek Elementary.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The target is a C.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

For Raines High School, we're looking at comprehensive support for a federal four-year graduation rate.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The target is 67%. In 2018 we were at a 58.3 and in 2019 66.3. Exit

Susan Gesoff not human verified

requirements for each campus are outlined in this slide. The exit

Susan Gesoff not human verified

requirements for Bear Creek Elementary is an improvement of a letter grade from

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that D to a 70 which is a C or better and for comprehensive support exiting

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the campus must have a four-year federal graduation rate of that 67% for two

Susan Gesoff not human verified

consecutive years. Any continued interventions that are needed? If

Susan Gesoff not human verified

performance does not improve in this current school year, we will continue

Susan Gesoff not human verified

with the current interventions for each

Susan Gesoff not human verified

of the campuses, which is the creation of a targeted improvement plan and approval of

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the plans by the Board of Trustees.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Targeted improvement plans are based on TEA's effective schools framework.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

They're created with the campus leadership and a campus intervention team.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Feedback is gathered from the campus community on what goes into those plans.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and their identified targets, barriers, milestones, and evidence in each of the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

targeted improvement plans. The effective schools framework has

Susan Gesoff not human verified

five prioritized levers. We focus on strong school leadership and planning,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

effective well-supported teachers, positive school culture, high quality

Susan Gesoff not human verified

curriculum, and effective instruction. The identified areas for each of these

Susan Gesoff not human verified

campuses was this the same 4.1 curriculum and assessments aligned to

Susan Gesoff not human verified

teaks with a with a year-long scope and sequence also focusing on 5.1 objective

Susan Gesoff not human verified

driven daily lesson plans with formative assessments and finally data-driven

Susan Gesoff not human verified

instruction

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board members, are there any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

7.2, receive public input regarding the TEA regarding required targeting,

Unknown speaker not human verified

targeted improvement plans.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have no people speaking.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So this is the end of the public hearing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you for your participation in the hearing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

the board appreciates your comments item 8.1 discuss and consider board approval of the

Item 8.1

Unknown speaker not human verified

tea required targeted improvement plans that's you as well absolutely good evening again vice

Susan Gesoff not human verified

president lacey members of the board dr grigorski this item is actually where we will present the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

plans and request your approval of these two plans as required by the Texas Education Agency.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Our targeted improvement plans include accountability interventions, effective schools framework,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

requirements and KD processes, the design of the targeted improvement plan, and then

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the Bear Creek and Rains High School detail.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

I'll go into a little bit more detail here than with the public hearing portion of the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

presentation.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Again, the range of accountability interventions are listed here.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Our two campuses highlighted in yellow.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The effective schools framework, TEA outlines the purpose is to provide a common language

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that connects the state's vision for effective practices and the continuous improvement cycle.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

There's also a portion of this process which requires districts to state what our commitments

Susan Gesoff not human verified

are to ensure the improvement of campuses.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and then specific actions that are essential to seeing campuses improve. So

Susan Gesoff not human verified

these campus leadership teams were charged with identifying needs of campus

Susan Gesoff not human verified

practices, creating a plan, so narrowing the focus to a few high leverage items,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and then they are charged with implementing the plan for each cycle and

Susan Gesoff not human verified

monitoring it along the way throughout the school year. The six essential

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Essential actions are listed here.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Develop campus instructional leaders with clear roles and responsibilities.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Recruit, select, assign, induct, and retain a staff of highly qualified educators.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Compelling and aligned vision, mission, goals, and values focused on a safe environment and

Susan Gesoff not human verified

high expectations.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And then curriculum and assessments aligned to TEKS with a year-long scope and sequence.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

objective driven daily lesson plans with formative assessments, and data driven instruction.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So as teams go through and identify what their high leverage practices are to focus on,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

we looked at data on student achievement from the past few years.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

There's an evidence collection process where TEA outlines specific actions to see,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and the campuses collected evidence of those items on their campus, and then identified

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and narrowed down two to three focus areas from those six essential actions that we stated

Susan Gesoff not human verified

earlier.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And then there's also a barrier analysis, which is unique to this effective schools

Susan Gesoff not human verified

framework, where campuses had to identify mindsets, behaviors, resources that would

Susan Gesoff not human verified

be a barrier to moving along this improvement process.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And then the output is the targeted improvement plan where campuses reviewed the needs assessment,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

set a vision for the year, and then identified 90-day outcome chunks.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Then they created a plan with milestones, specific items for improvement, and metrics

Susan Gesoff not human verified

for each 90-day cycle.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So again, the plan is based on the ESF framework.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

It's created with the campus team.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

there was feedback loop with the campus communities individual campus communities

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and then each of the pieces for the targeted improvement plan is listed below so the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

requirements on the left hand side you see the things that we have already checked off the ESF

Susan Gesoff not human verified

training of campus leaders public meetings held at each campus for for input the improvement plans

Susan Gesoff not human verified

were developed by campus leadership teams and then there was an edit and

Susan Gesoff not human verified

review process for each of the improvement plans. We're here this

Susan Gesoff not human verified

evening requesting approval of these plans. Then there will be implementation

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and monitoring of the plans. The first cycle ends actually on this Friday so

Susan Gesoff not human verified

campuses are already working on what has happened during this cycle, the successes

Susan Gesoff not human verified

they've had in following their plans. So there will be reviews in November,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

February and May and then at the end of the year we'll set a plan for cycle 4

Susan Gesoff not human verified

which actually gets us into the into next school year so we'll start with

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Bear Creek Elementary again D in a domain the reason overall D is listed

Susan Gesoff not human verified

there is only because the interventions are the same for for each of these

Susan Gesoff not human verified

designations but Bear Creek received a DNA in domain one again the same slide

Susan Gesoff not human verified

from the previous presentation the 69 the target being a 70 so the focus is to

Susan Gesoff not human verified

make sure that that domain one works up to a 70 the exit requirements are the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

letter grade must improve to a 70 or higher and then the targeted improvement

Susan Gesoff not human verified

areas that the principal at Bear Creek and her staff identified through this

Susan Gesoff not human verified

process and through this worker listed there and were stated earlier the

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the curriculum and assessments with really an emphasis on those aligned assessments to

Susan Gesoff not human verified

our current curriculum.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Aligned to the TEKS with the scope and sequence.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Objective driven daily lesson plans with formative assessments and really having a strong focus

Susan Gesoff not human verified

on data driven instruction.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So here are a few samples of the milestones, the actual activities that are outlined for

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Bear Creek Elementary, professional development for test creation, English

Susan Gesoff not human verified

learner supports, planning instruction and content knowledge. Planning will

Susan Gesoff not human verified

include data related to upcoming unit to allow for adjustments in instruction,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

individual teacher lesson plans submitted and specific feedback given by

Susan Gesoff not human verified

campus administrators, cross grade level classroom observations on the campus and

Susan Gesoff not human verified

on other campuses to expand teachers knowledge of vertical alignment, and

Susan Gesoff not human verified

small group instruction will be based on data reviews and planned using TEK. So

Susan Gesoff not human verified

very very focused milestones set to achieve each of the 90-day milestones.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

For Raines High School, again there is a comprehensive support campus. The federal

Susan Gesoff not human verified

four-year graduation rate is the target, 67 percent and you can see the history

Susan Gesoff not human verified

we've been going in the right direction. So we anticipate continuing to raise

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that to 67 and further and the exit requirements again is achieving that 67

Susan Gesoff not human verified

percent for two consecutive years I included on this slide to be able to

Susan Gesoff not human verified

speak to the implication for Raines High School as a program as you know Raines

Susan Gesoff not human verified

High School is in its first year as a program of choice rather than a

Susan Gesoff not human verified

standalone alternative ed campus and the implications from the Texas Education

Susan Gesoff not human verified

agency side are that we still will provide data to the agency so that we

Susan Gesoff not human verified

can monitor that this four-year graduation rate does exceed the 67%. As

Susan Gesoff not human verified

a dropout recovery campus, as a former dropout recovery campus, and of course

Susan Gesoff not human verified

the vision and mission of RAINS being recovering credits for students who are

Susan Gesoff not human verified

behind, a four-year graduation rate is a lofty goal because many of these

Susan Gesoff not human verified

students are there to recover credits and they're not on track for a four-year,

Susan Gesoff not human verified

But their five and six year is where they're achieving.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So we're excited to continue to see some good things that are happening at RAINS in order

Susan Gesoff not human verified

to align what their mission is and then what our data looks like as well.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So the identified focus areas for RAINS are the same as Bear Creek as stated in the previous

Susan Gesoff not human verified

presentation.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The assessments align to TEKS, objective driven daily lesson plans and data driven instruction.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

instruction.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

A few milestone samples from Raines High School professional development for lesson cycle

Susan Gesoff not human verified

planning and implementation.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

The process of six steps of effective feedback giving very specific feedback to teachers

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and increasing that conversation.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Implement structured professional learning communities that include data analysis.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Feedback walkthroughs every three weeks using that six steps feedback protocol after those

Susan Gesoff not human verified

walkthroughs and three-week learning cycle assessment data used to inform

Susan Gesoff not human verified

classroom content so the next step includes implementation and monitoring

Susan Gesoff not human verified

of these plans again every cycle we have continued school improvement meetings at

Susan Gesoff not human verified

both of those campuses to work through this plan and to ensure that there are

Susan Gesoff not human verified

supports from the district level to help these campuses achieve their plan goals

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and again the reviews at cycle 1 November February in May ensuring that

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that the submissions are complete

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and that campuses are on track.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

We'll continue monitoring that.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And then planning for cycle four once the graduation data

Susan Gesoff not human verified

and the star data comes in in the summer.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

At this point, I'd love to respond

Susan Gesoff not human verified

to any questions you may have.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gessoff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Seems stressful.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It seems very stressful.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Reading through all of that,

Unknown speaker not human verified

just putting on my teacher hat you know it looks like you know walkthroughs and

Unknown speaker not human verified

feedback can you tell me a little bit more especially at Bear Creek what staff

Unknown speaker not human verified

was involved in making the decisions about what they would focus on was it

Unknown speaker not human verified

you know how many educators how did that really happen so we actually have both

Susan Gesoff not human verified

principals here this evening and and we really couldn't have done this without

Susan Gesoff not human verified

either of the assistant superintendents as well being involved in this process

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And that campus leadership team was key for both of these campuses.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So really having a cross section of the instructional coaches, the administrators looking at, we

Susan Gesoff not human verified

had some special education staff involved here this evening.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

So really getting the input.

Susan Gesoff not human verified

And then some of that back and forth conversation of how will this be measured, working with

Susan Gesoff not human verified

Dr. Washington and Dr. Zertucci and I being able to ask that question of what

Susan Gesoff not human verified

does this look like, how is this monitored, and being able to achieve

Susan Gesoff not human verified

those goals. So some great staff input. So were there classroom teachers involved? Some classroom teachers also.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, good. And it's all things that we're already doing, right? We just targeted

Susan Gesoff not human verified

these areas for improvement. Targeted these areas, absolutely. And I think

Susan Gesoff not human verified

just the idea of being able to have that conversation constantly that it's on

Susan Gesoff not human verified

that radar and just making sure that there aren't any other supports that we

Susan Gesoff not human verified

can help provide any of that professional learning the supports for

Susan Gesoff not human verified

those classroom teachers to make sure that they're equipped with everything

Unknown speaker not human verified

that they need to be successful yeah I appreciate all of the support from the

Unknown speaker not human verified

central organization thank you for answering my question it's gonna be

Unknown speaker not human verified

be great anyone else yeah I would like to interject I'm very pleased with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

welcomeness that y'all are gonna be working on this I know that our

Unknown speaker not human verified

standards are high and I appreciate the things that y'all are doing for the kids

Unknown speaker not human verified

at y'all's respective schools and without those you know without those

Unknown speaker not human verified

schools you know there's a lot of kids that may not get the education that that

Unknown speaker not human verified

we expect and demand here in Katy ISD so thank you all so much for doing the job that y'all doing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dr. Matney, thank you.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Vice President. This is Van. I move the Board of Trustees approves the TEA required targeted

Ashley Vann not human verified

improvement plans as recommended by administration. Second. Okay so now I'm going to do this the right

Item 8.2

Unknown speaker not human verified

item 8.2 discuss and consider a board approval of the annual course additions for the 2020 and 2021

Unknown speaker not human verified

21 school year dr. Cozelda steel executive director of secondary

Unknown speaker not human verified

curriculum and instructive instruction hard to believe we're talking about 20

Unknown speaker not human verified

and 21 yes sir good evening vice president Lacey board members and dr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gorg or ski I'm here this evening to present new courses for the 2020 2021

Unknown speaker not human verified

school year each year the division of teaching and learning facilitates the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the process of course review, including soliciting input from Central and campus staff regarding

Unknown speaker not human verified

course additions and deletions for the following year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As request or receive, the Division assesses the content of the course, availability of

Unknown speaker not human verified

curriculum, highly qualified staff, student interest, alignment to the TEKS, and relevance

Unknown speaker not human verified

to the District Strategic Plan.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This year, we also have taken into account new state expectations on the development

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the new programs of study that have been created for career and technology

Unknown speaker not human verified

as well as additional revenue for courses designated as CTE courses at the

Unknown speaker not human verified

junior high level. Based on this review the administration recommends the

Unknown speaker not human verified

addition of 13 new courses, three secondary CNI electives, eight CTE, one

Unknown speaker not human verified

junior high fine art, and one course from the office of other languages. The eight

Unknown speaker not human verified

new CTE courses fall in line with strategic design 1.8 CTE course expansion.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The first two courses included in the secondary CNI list are social studies

Unknown speaker not human verified

electives that students can take after the completion of US history, the history

Unknown speaker not human verified

and legacy of World War II, and engines of change through history. We are also

Unknown speaker not human verified

adding student leadership as a half credit to be paired with PALS and

Unknown speaker not human verified

and Leadworthy, formerly known as Teen Leadership.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The state changed the amount of credit awarded

Unknown speaker not human verified

for these courses in July, and we are responding

Unknown speaker not human verified

by adding a leadership component.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We are also asking that this course

Unknown speaker not human verified

be approved for implementation in the spring of 2020.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are eight courses listed in the board docs for CTE.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Two of the courses have a certification attached to them,

Unknown speaker not human verified

which helps students meet their college career military

Unknown speaker not human verified

readiness accountability AG equipment design and fabrication and graphic

Unknown speaker not human verified

design and illustration one there is one new course being added at the junior

Unknown speaker not human verified

high and high school level that is called Elda English language development

Unknown speaker not human verified

and acquisition this course is taken only by newcomer students students will

Unknown speaker not human verified

receive one high school credit when this course is completed successfully lastly

Unknown speaker not human verified

Lastly, we are asking to implement junior high dance at the eighth grade level.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This year we conducted a public review of all of the courses submitted for consideration.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Principals are in agreement that these 13 new courses should move forward and be added

Unknown speaker not human verified

to the course catalog for 2020-2021.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I would be happy to respond to any questions that you may have at this time.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Ms. Vice President?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Vann?

Ashley Vann not human verified

I'm super excited about these additions. The increase of CTE is, I mean, it's always amazing, but the changes to the options in social studies is great.

Ashley Vann not human verified

You know, instead of the out-of-the-box courses, it's awesome.

Ashley Vann not human verified

And I have to tell you that I'm mostly excited about dance in middle school.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Being a longtime dance mom, dance is expensive. I mean, and it's not something that everyone can be exposed to.

Ashley Vann not human verified

And so being that it's an option, so my question is, will it be a fine art or will it be a

Ashley Vann not human verified

PE in middle school?

Unknown speaker not human verified

At junior high it is going to be a PE credit.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It will count as their third PE credit because they'll be taking this course in the eighth

Unknown speaker not human verified

grade.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Oh, it's just eighth grade?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Just eighth grade.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Okay.

Ashley Vann not human verified

That was my next question.

Ashley Vann not human verified

So thank you for answering that.

Ashley Vann not human verified

And then will the, so it'll be instructed by a coach?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay. For the very onset of those courses, this coming up school year, first of all, it only makes if there is enough to make a course, to make a class.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right. And the teachers that we are looking forward to teaching those courses are the current dance teachers at their neighboring junior highs.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay. All right, and they will be doing that at some time of the day that there's going to have to be lots of

Unknown speaker not human verified

principal communication

Unknown speaker not human verified

Amongst the junior high in the high school to make that happen. I could see when it's a campus

Ashley Vann not human verified

But like a Beckendorf that's kind of an offshoot or a back. That's an offshoot from it. Well, I can tell you that

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Ouellette has been talking a lot with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dance teachers at the high school and they're very excited to see how we can move this forward

Unknown speaker not human verified

So they wanted to put it forward so we can see how we can make it grow over the next few years

Ashley Vann not human verified

I believe there are some junior highs that have dance clubs. So this will be it absolutely during school hours opportunity. Yes

Ashley Vann not human verified

Would that with a dance teacher coming over from the high school get a stipend for this or is it just part?

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's just part of their day. Yes, ma'am. They already receive a stipend at the high school and again, mr

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ouellette has spoken to them and they are extremely excited about this particular opportunity. I am too. Thank you

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Vice President?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Dr. Steele, could you speak a little more about the career investigation class?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Yes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we are changing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We currently do a career course.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're changing it to career investigations so that it's more of a survey course of all

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the CTE courses and this is going to be offered at the junior high level.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. That's great.

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's exciting thank you I can say I want to go take the history and legacy

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the Second World War I'm excited about that all right this is van I move

Ashley Vann not human verified

the Board of Trustees approves the course additions for the 2020 2021

Ashley Vann not human verified

school year as recommended by administration mr. Keller Duke Keller

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

so the Board of Trustees we are voting on the approval of the course edition

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the 2020 and 2021 school year is recommended by the administration as was

Cascadia Independent School District's votes for the fork Bendis central

Unknown speaker not human verified

appraisal district board of directors mr. Christopher Smith our CFO good

Unknown speaker not human verified

evening vice president Lacey and superintendent Gorgoski and board state

Unknown speaker not human verified

State Property Tax Code requires that each entity that's a member of appraisal district

Unknown speaker not human verified

cast votes for the directors or the board of directors for the appraisal district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think the deadline to do so is December the 16th,

Unknown speaker not human verified

in which action by this board tonight would meet that deadline.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katy Independent School District, from Fort Bend County's perspective,

Unknown speaker not human verified

is entitled to 595 votes for the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I will say that there is a election ballot in there that shows the five candidates for the five open positions, three vacant positions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And there also is a resolution that you have that has a typo in it that I just spotted that shows that it says 370 votes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We actually have 595 votes for that position.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I would ask that we would say $595 on that item in the resolution.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I need a motion.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gussoff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're voting on 8.3, right?

Unknown speaker not human verified

8.3, yes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

A second.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Say aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those opposed, passes 5-0.

Item 8.4

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Smith.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Moving on.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Harris County, a little different.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Based on our levy in Fort Bend County, Harris County is one vote per school district for one.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We only had one vote, whereas the last item we had 595 votes based on the size of our levy.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This one, it doesn't matter our size.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's one vote, no matter how big or small the district is.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are four candidates that have been nominated for this position to be elected in a two-year term beginning January 1, 2020.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Again, we have one vote.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Vann.

Ashley Vann not human verified

I move the Board of Trustees adopts the resolution casting the district's vote for Martina Lemond-Dixon for the Harris County Appraisal District's Board of Directors.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Do I have a second?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gesshoff?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I have a motion by Mrs. Vann, a second by Mrs. Gussoff, that the Board of Trustees

Unknown speaker not human verified

adopts a resolution casting the district's vote for Martina Lemon-Dixon for the Harris

Unknown speaker not human verified

County Appraisal District's Board of Directors.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those in favor, raise your right hand.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Say aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those opposed?

Unknown speaker not human verified

It passes 5-0.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Smith.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, and finally, our third appraisal district is the Waller County Appraisal District, and we have 946 votes based on the size of our levy for appraisal districts.

Item 8.5

Unknown speaker not human verified

There were only four candidates of the five director positions that are open for this election process, so they're going to fill that according to Section 6.031, that vacancy.

Unknown speaker not human verified

but the other vacancies are before you, and as is the resolution for our votes.

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Vann.

Ashley Vann not human verified

I move the Board of Trustees adopts a resolution casting the district's allotted votes

Ashley Vann not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think it was Lance.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, we'll give it to Mr. Redman.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any discussion?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Ashley Vann made the motion.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Lance Redmond seconded that the Board of Trustees adopt a resolution

Unknown speaker not human verified

casting the district's law to vote for Mr. Roosevelt Alexander

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the Waller County Appraisal District's Board of Directors.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We shall now proceed to vote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those in favor?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those opposed?

Unknown speaker not human verified

There we go.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Item 8.6.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm sorry, it passes 5-0.

Item 8.6

Unknown speaker not human verified

uh discuss and consider the board approval of september 2019 financial reports

Unknown speaker not human verified

this is ann feitinger did i pronounce that correctly thank you

Unknown speaker not human verified

good evening vice president um lacey dr grigorski on board item 8.6 is to consider approval of

Unknown speaker not human verified

district september 2019 financial reports um there are really four reports in separating

Unknown speaker not human verified

into five sections um the financial statement is the first two sections which presents our

Unknown speaker not human verified

revenues and expenditures for our budgeted funds, which is our general fund, our food

Unknown speaker not human verified

service fund, and debt service fund.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Expenditures are further broken down in the second report by function and high level object.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So you can see the operations for one month of operations for the month of September.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The second report is our construction report, which presents a project cost for September

Unknown speaker not human verified

projects funded through the 2017 capital projects authorization, 2014 authorization, construction

Unknown speaker not human verified

construction related E-rate and those funds from TURS are returned after required bond

Unknown speaker not human verified

payments are made by the KDA.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The third report is our tax report which summarizes our property tax revenues received through

Unknown speaker not human verified

September, which right now is just delinquent taxes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Tax statements were mailed earlier this month, so we should see our current taxes start to

Unknown speaker not human verified

come in in November.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And then the final report is our check register which indicates our vendor payments made in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the month of September. So those are our financial reports for September. Any

Unknown speaker not human verified

questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Vice President Lacey? I move that the Board of Trustees approves the District

Unknown speaker not human verified

September 2019 financial rules. Second. So I have a movement, a moved by first by Mr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Redmond, seconded by Ms. Vann that the Board of Trustees approves the District

Unknown speaker not human verified

September 2019 February reports all those in favor aye all those opposed

Unknown speaker not human verified

passes 5 to 0 thank you yeah 8.7 discuss and consider the board approval of the

Item 8.7

Unknown speaker not human verified

November 2019 budget amendments sherry Butterfield director of budget and

Unknown speaker not human verified

Treasury Thank You vice president Lacey trustees and superintendent Gorg or ski

Unknown speaker not human verified

tonight we have several budget amendments to mention one one amendment

Unknown speaker not human verified

that is recognizing additional revenue as well as creating the offsetting

Unknown speaker not human verified

expenditure budget related to Centerpoint rebates for forty eight

Unknown speaker not human verified

thousand and seventeen dollars and we have a two hundred and forty six

Unknown speaker not human verified

thousand dollar amendment related to Harris County mandatory requirement for

Unknown speaker not human verified

for fire and smoke damper inspections district-wide.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have two timing amendments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Again, this is where product did not get delivered

Unknown speaker not human verified

by the deadline of 831 for the fiscal year cutoff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The funds were budgeted last year,

Unknown speaker not human verified

so we're just simply bringing the accounting

Unknown speaker not human verified

into a line with receiving those items after 831.

Unknown speaker not human verified

These are related to the chiller at Cardiff Junior High

Unknown speaker not human verified

for $111,293 and also $29,354 related to full-day pre-K furniture and supplies.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Finally, we have turf replacement at Taylor High School and Morton Ranch High School

Unknown speaker not human verified

for a little over $44,000 and foundation repairs at Maid Creek Elementary

Unknown speaker not human verified

in junior high for $60,088.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have construction fund expenditures amended tonight, $432,000 to increase budget for copier purchase and replacement cycles.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This will be funded from the 2014 bond project savings.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gessle.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Butterfield, the $247,000 for the inspection

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the sprinklers, do we expect that, or was that not expected?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Is that something we do every year?

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm going to defer to Mark.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I was just wondering if that was something that

Unknown speaker not human verified

kind of came out of the blue.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I don't expect it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

He said it was not expected.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It was not expected.

Unknown speaker not human verified

OK.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay. Okay. Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any other questions?

Ashley Vann not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Vann.

Ashley Vann not human verified

I move the Board of Trustees approves the District's November 2019 budget amendments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Keller seconded. Any discussion?

Unknown speaker not human verified

No.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, so Mrs. Vann moved.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Keller seconded that the Board of Trustees approves the district's November 2019 budget amendments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We shall proceed to vote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those in favor, raise your right hand.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All those opposed, passes 5-0.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Butterfield, you're here for discuss and consider board approval of the annual review of investment practices,

Item 8.8

Unknown speaker not human verified

excuse me, policies and strategies.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is an annual review, and it's a requirement of the Public Fund Investment Act that the Board of Trustees review this annually.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I'll try and be as quick as possible with it and touch all of the major factors that are required by law for us to address.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are three investment officers in the district, myself, Chris, and Ann Feitinger.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And so this update is brought to you on behalf of the three of us.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have four objectives to accomplish in this review, and that is that the board review the investment strategies by fund type, that we approve a list of approved brokers, a list of approved investment pools, and a list of approved training resources.

Unknown speaker not human verified

resources. So although CDA Legal describes all PFIA authorized investments, our CDA Local is a little more specific and refines that list for us down to government bills, notes, and bonds, government agency bonds, CDs, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, no load money market mutual funds, and investment pools. And our quarterly reports that you see once a quarter meet all

Unknown speaker not human verified

compliance issues related to policy. So we're in good shape on that standpoint.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So our first objective is probably the longest one to address, and that's strategies by fund type.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And just know that we have four different fund types, the general operating funds,

Unknown speaker not human verified

special revenues and agency funds, debt service fund, and then our capital projects fund.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All of these are governed by a three-year maximum maturity, and we're talking about investments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So if we invest with one of these funds, then the maximum not-to-exceed maturity is three years.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But all of them are also required to have sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So cash flow for most of these would be on an annual basis, but on the general operating fund, we extend cash flow to be a 24-month period.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Policies need to be edited just a little bit.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It is our recommendation that we edit the policy related to commercial paper to be more in alignment with House Bill 2706,

Unknown speaker not human verified

which was passed in the 86th legislature.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and this just speaks to the maturity of commercial paper extending its life from

Unknown speaker not human verified

270 days to 365 days so all we're gonna do here is edit the wording to make it

Unknown speaker not human verified

in in compliance with the code quoting the code rather than stating a specific

Unknown speaker not human verified

number of days and that should keep us in good shape for quite a while later

Unknown speaker not human verified

Later with the update 114 tonight, there'll be some edits recommended by TASB,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and these are also very minor and inconsequential.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The next list that you have in that PDF is the 11 brokers that are authorized to provide us with information

Unknown speaker not human verified

that we are authorized to would be authorized to invest through and all

Unknown speaker not human verified

brokers go through a clearing process as described by law they sign a

Unknown speaker not human verified

certification that they've read our policies and that they agree to them

Unknown speaker not human verified

they give us demographic information on themselves and their experience in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

industry and basically if you're in good standing and you have a FINRA report

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's clean and you have an interest in doing business with KDI KDI SD you're on

Unknown speaker not human verified

this list so those are are presented we have the same for investment pools that

Unknown speaker not human verified

we've had for quite some time so there's no change there and also no change to

Unknown speaker not human verified

our recommended training resources this is just a requirement of law that you

Unknown speaker not human verified

are in agreement with the approved training resources there's plenty of

Unknown speaker not human verified

them here for us to be able to get our mandatory eight hours every two years

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that just keeps us refreshed in what's happening in terms of public fund

Unknown speaker not human verified

investment act those are the elements of the investment strategy and policy review

Unknown speaker not human verified

you and be happy to answer any questions any questions

Ashley Vann not human verified

mr vice president yes ma'am mrs van move the board of trustees approves the

Ashley Vann not human verified

district's investment policies and strategies

Ashley Vann not human verified

as recommended by administration second

Ashley Vann not human verified

Second.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we have a motion by Mrs. Vann, a second by Mrs. Gussoff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any discussion?

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, so we will now proceed to vote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

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

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Those opposed?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Passes 5-0.

Thank you, Mrs. Butterfield.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Item 8.9, discuss and consider board approval to utilize 2017 bond savings

Item 8.9

Unknown speaker not human verified

for a minor construction project at Cinco Ranch High School.

Unknown speaker not human verified

excuse me at Cinco Ranch, Morton Ranch and Seven Lakes High Schools baseball and softball fields.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Mr. Mark Teed. Good evening Vice President Lacey, board members and Dr. Gagorski. It's recommended

Lance Redmon not human verified

that the board of trustees approves the use of 2017 bond savings for the minor construction

Lance Redmon not human verified

project that entails replacement of fencing, safety netting and field lighting at Cinco Ranch,

Lance Redmon not human verified

Morton Ranch, and Seven Lakes High Schools baseball and softball fields. The method

Lance Redmon not human verified

of procurement for the project is the job order contract through cooperative

Lance Redmon not human verified

purchasing. In order to meet the tight construction timeline for the outfield

Lance Redmon not human verified

fence portion of the project, it is also recommended that the Board of Trustees

Lance Redmon not human verified

approves the award of the contract to Brown and Root utilizing the National

Lance Redmon not human verified

IPA contract number R160402 in the amount of $3,011,500 and the total project cost not to exceed $3,104,845.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The baseball outfield fencing, backstop, wall, and safety netting at Cinco Ranch, Morton

Lance Redmon not human verified

Ranch, and Seven Lakes High Schools have all reached their useful lifespan and require

Lance Redmon not human verified

replacement.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The replacement fencing will be built to the current district standards and design.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The safety netting at these three campus softball fields will also be replaced and upgraded

Lance Redmon not human verified

as part of this work scope to meet the district standard.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The field lighting at Morton Ranch and Seven Lakes High Schools will be upgraded to the current district standard using LED fixtures.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The Cinco Ranch campus field lighting was previously upgraded during a campus renovation project.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Maintenance and Operations Department staff will work with Athletics Department staff and PBK Sports to develop a schedule that will allow for the projects to be completed around campus activities.

Lance Redmon not human verified

activities. Estimated substantial completion for the outfield fencing portion will be prior to the

Lance Redmon not human verified

first scheduled home game at each campus. The remainder of the work will begin following the

Lance Redmon not human verified

2019-2020 baseball-softball season and will be completed prior to August 1, 2020. Again, the

Lance Redmon not human verified

project funding source is 2017 bond savings. Cinco Ranch High School project estimated cost

Lance Redmon not human verified

cost $629,000.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Morton Ranch High School project estimated cost $1,196,000.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Seven Lakes High School project estimated cost $1,186,500.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Estimated engineering cost $93,345.

Lance Redmon not human verified

$3,104,845.

Lance Redmon not human verified

Total project not to exceed cost of $3,104,845.

Lance Redmon not human verified

The contracts have been reviewed by District Legal Counsel and approved as to form.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Vice President?

Unknown speaker not human verified

No, sorry.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Pardon me?

Unknown speaker not human verified

No, I don't have any questions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I was just going to read this long thing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gessop, take off.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Vice President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I move that the Board of Trustees approves the use of 2017 bond savings for the minor construction projects that entails replacement of fencing, safety netting, and field lighting at Cinco Ranch, Wharton Ranch, and Seven Lakes High School's baseball and softball fields, and that the Board of Trustees awards the contracts to Brown and Root, utilizing the National IPA Contract Number R160402 in the amount of $3,011,500,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the total project cost, not to exceed, $3,104,845.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I have a motion by Mrs. Gussoff, a second by Mrs. Vann.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any discussion?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So let's see.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Gussoff, I've got to go through the whole thing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I know.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thanks a lot.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You're welcome.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So Mrs. Gussoff moved.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Vann seconded.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the minor construction project that entails replacement of fencing,

with PBK Sports to develop the project scope. Work is scheduled to start January the 20th, 2020,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any questions mr.. Vice president you know I always have a question. I'm sorry yes, ma'am

Unknown speaker not human verified

This states that turf replacement at Road Stadium is utilizing the project savings from the 2017 Bond Component Artificial Turf Replacement Project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

How did we save $800,000?

Lance Redmon not human verified

We piggybacked the projects together, so we saved on some shipping and mobilization fees by doing two per year.

Lance Redmon not human verified

plus we when we initially bid this one we would get got in a very good time

Lance Redmon not human verified

frame as far as the bidding process went and we beat the cost increase that that

Lance Redmon not human verified

came out so we were able to come in under our projected budgets initially

Lance Redmon not human verified

when we put the bond program together mark I'm gonna jump in on that as well

Unknown speaker not human verified

just to remind the board that part of that 2017 bond we had six total fields

Unknown speaker not human verified

Is that correct mark and this these are the final two of that six?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So the first four there were savings on the first two the next two and these last two

Unknown speaker not human verified

So over six field savings plus what market shared there on some of the competitive pricing was enough to go ahead and get that last

Unknown speaker not human verified

Field done. Yeah, that's wonderful. Thank you. Yes me other questions. I actually have a question

Unknown speaker not human verified

The May Creek High School Seven Lakes High School. How old are those fields? Those were put in in 2009

Unknown speaker not human verified

2009. Wow. So 10 years in Rhodes Stadium was about the same time as I recall. It was the next year

Lance Redmon not human verified

it went in in 2010. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Vice President. Yes, Mr. Gessler. I move that the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board of Trustees approves the proposal for the replacement of the synthetic athletic field turf

Unknown speaker not human verified

at Maid Creek High School, Seven Lakes High School, and Rhodes Stadium to Hellas Construction

Unknown speaker not human verified

Incorporated in the amount of $2,418,971 with the total cost not to exceed the amount of $2,514,111

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

Passes 5-0.

Item 9

Unknown speaker not human verified

9.1, discuss and consider future board adoption of policy update 113.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Sherry Ashmore, did I pronounce that correctly? That's correct. Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Shars Discipline Administrator.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Trustees. Yes ma'am. Sir. Yeah, it's mine's on. Hello. Can you guys hear me? Yes sir. We're gonna hear, it says 9.1 and 9.2 but we're gonna present these just as one item. Perfect.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Wonderful. Vice President Lacey, Dr. Rogorski, members of the Board, as General Counsel Graham explained, we have two policy updates that are being presented in accordance with Board Policy BF.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This will be the first reading of these policies for discussion that will be presented for adoption at a subsequent or future meeting.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The first update for review is Update 113.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The legal changes that are included for your review are mainly just changes to Commissioner of Education rulings and updated revisions to administrative rules.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are 10 local policies for adoption that primarily include revisions to match these local policies and some reorganization.

Unknown speaker not human verified

One local change that will be recommended by the administration to update change, update

Unknown speaker not human verified

policy 113 is the removal of TASB's recommended change to board policy BDD local.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that will not be moving forward for adoption.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Policy update 113 as I said is going to be presented at a subsequent meeting for your

Unknown speaker not human verified

consideration to adopt those local policies that are presented.

Unknown speaker not human verified

presented. Update 114 is primarily a reflection to all of those changes from the 86th legislative

Unknown speaker not human verified

session, so you'll see there's a lot there. In addition to the legal changes, there are

Unknown speaker not human verified

17 local changes that are presented with the TASB update. Also, the administration is recommending

Unknown speaker not human verified

four district recommended changes that are included with Update 114. The first one, as

Unknown speaker not human verified

as Ms. Butterfield mentioned earlier, is CDA local,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that's going to address

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district's commercial paper statement.

Unknown speaker not human verified

A minor change at DGBA local,

Unknown speaker not human verified

which is the employee grievance policy,

Unknown speaker not human verified

is just simply a name change.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And FDA and FDB local are our transfer policies,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and those provide clarification that transfers are available

Unknown speaker not human verified

for kindergarten through 12th grade,

Unknown speaker not human verified

as well as additional information

Unknown speaker not human verified

that seniors who move out of the zone whenever they want to apply for a transfer, they have to do so annually,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and a clarification regarding siblings who wish to transfer to a campus where another sibling attends.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So those four local changes are recommended by district administration.

Unknown speaker not human verified

These changes will also be presented with update 113 in a subsequent meeting,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we're happy to answer any questions you may have.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. President. Yes, sir. Mr. Vice President. I don't know if you guys can hear me from this, Mike. Yes. You have both of these policy updates. We'll present them both next month as our BF local policy requires us to have two readings and less in case of an emergency.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I did receive some questions from some trustees about some of the stylistic changes in the policy.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You will see there are certain areas where maybe at the beginning of a sentence,

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent is scratched out and then the word superintendent is there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And so we're saying why was this change made?

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's just to note a formatting change at the beginning of the paragraph when you see those.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I do think that there were also a couple of a trustee or two that had asked about

Unknown speaker not human verified

Certain sections of policy that were scratched out in one area and then re-added at the end again

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think TASB took a really holistic approach here and tried to make it to where they read better

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that members of the general public and those people in charge of implementing policy administrators, etc

Unknown speaker not human verified

Would have an easier read and I think that may answer questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any other questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Graham, thank you for the clarifications.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Ashhorn, thank you so much.

Unknown speaker not human verified
