Justin do we have anybody waiting in the lobby I'm not aware of anybody outside
side okay okay miss McClellan is not here our next speaker is mr. Eric San
Miguel
thank you to the board for letting me speak today it's been it's been a little
while since we've all or since I've been here a little bit different
circumstances congratulations to Leah and Greg on on their appointments as
board of trustees I know you'll do a fantastic job to Bill Lacey you're a
friend you're a great man we've done some awesome things together and we're
still going to do some awesome things together in this district I couldn't
thank you more for your friendship your mentorship and you know for me this
isn't goodbyes is I'll talk to you a little bit later all right so thank you
so much for everything you've done for this district um a couple of positive things uh my
kids have had a great experience with with katie virtual academy they're still in katie virtual
academy uh we've made the decision to keep them there through the holidays we'll see and we'll
reevaluate afterwards and see if they're going to go back but um my third grade my son's third grade
teacher mrs price she's new to the district she's fantastic i don't know if i'm supposed to say
names but she's fantastic she deserves to be recognized so she's doing a great job um so are
my younger son's teachers as well but i i see my older son a little bit more regularly and uh and
i see his experience and he's enjoying enjoying it just so much uh the kyf turf bowl was this past
weekend uh went off uh without a hitch it was amazing uh thank you to everyone who was a part
of this uh the staff the security everybody there as a head coach it was it was awesome to to be a
part of it and to experience the whole thing so thank you so much for everyone
for allowing that to happen and we look forward to another appearance next year
the last thing I want to say is is a little bit more personal for me because
there's a student in this district that I that I really really I really like the
young man and I feel like he was uh I felt like he was wrongly singled out
about a year ago and I feel like even still today he's being treated in a way
that's not fair and not protective of our students in this district and as
kind of a exit to what I'm about to say please reinstate Bronson McClellan
immediately he has been cleared he deserves to play this isn't about
football this is about protecting our students and doing the right thing
please do the right thing thank you mr. San Miguel our next speaker is Jasmine
Fu
dear members of the board I'm Jasmine Fu and I'm a senior at
single-entry high school as a student in KDIC I have some concerns about the
safety of my teachers my classmates and their families many of the teachers have
have talked to are elderly or have small infants at home that are at risk for a COVID-19 infection.
These teachers are forced to teach at school where students may infect them and spread to
their relatives. This makes teachers have to choose between their career and the safety of
their families. I think this is a choice that no respect professional should be forced to pick.
A good compromise will be let the teacher teach at home if they are in a difficult circumstance.
The other concern I have is the environment at the classroom.
The drive COVID-19 is compounded because we have a closed AC unit that recycle the air
throughout the building.
Because COVID-19 is an airborne virus, it has the potential to spread extremely fast
in a school setting, even with the use of a mask.
Ask the board to consider providing the air diffuser for each classroom to help release
the air that might carry the virus. In conclusion, as the case in Fort Bend
County and individuals at Campus Rise, I want to make sure that safety of student
and staff remains the top priority. After that, if the safety standard cannot be
upheld, then we switch to online only program. Thank you for your time and I
wish you the best of luck in working out the best and the safest solution for all
the student staff and their families thank you thank you miss foo our next speaker is brenda
martin my name is brenda martin and i've been here a time or two but i'm here as a grandmother
and a substitute teacher. I've lived in Katy for almost 40 years. I recently
started back subbing and I wanted to give a huge shout out. I sub at Katy
Junior High and mostly Katy Elementary. Katy Elementary you know had the most
kids going back face to face. Miss Grimmett and her staff have been
phenomenal with I feel completely safe there and you know those kids are all
over mamaw it's wonderful and and dr. LeBlanc at Katy junior high things are
fantastic there so I wanted to give a shout out to them and I specifically
wanted to say thank you to Bill Lacey incredible man incredible board member
he's become a good friend of mine but he has really helped me with some passion
programs I've had in the district I first came to speak and I was terrified
and he said just look at me you'll be okay and he really really helped me with
milk for many a fantastic program that hopefully we can get back to doing um but you're going to
be greatly a lot a big loss but i know you're going to still have a passion for our kids and
the district and our community and i thank you for all your hard work thank you so much
Ms. Martin. Our next speaker is Peter Kolb.
Okay.
Madam President, that's the end of the speakers tonight. Yes. No, he asked me to
speak on his behalf. I'm sorry, we can't do that. Okay, well, thank you though. We
all signed up also. Mr. Graham. Your legal counsel and I told me. Madam President. Go ahead,
Mr. Graham. Madam President. You have the mic, Mr. Graham. Madam President,
This is an issue. This family has availed itself of the grievance process, which we encourage when you have issues related to your independent children at KDISD.
You have addressed this board in our previous meeting. We've heard your concerns there, and it is inappropriate now for you to speak to this board as we are in the middle of a grievance process.
As such, as such, I'm going to indicate that this is in the
administrative grievance process which you've availed yourself of, which we
encourage you to do. Yes, ma'am, you filed your grievance on behalf of your
children and so, Madam President, that's the end of speakers tonight. Thank you so
much, Mr. Graham. We're gonna move on with our meeting tonight. Ma'am, could you
you please take a seat. I'm sorry, ma'am. I really don't want to have to have you removed with your
children here. That's fine. But as Mr. Graham has stated, you have filed an administrative
grievance policy. And so we will proceed with that. Officers, thank you so much, ma'am.
We will give it just a few minutes and then we will proceed with our oaths of office.
My apologies for that. Let's proceed to agenda item 3.1.
Item 3.1
Administer the oath of office to the newly elected members of the Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees.
Ms. Michelle Ross, Secretary for Board Services and Notary Public, will administer the oath of office to the newly elected board members.

You'll raise your right hand and repeat after me.
I.

congratulations again mr schulte and miss wilson at this time
before we close i'm going to turn the mic over to mr bill lacy with some final remarks
In my time on the board, we have endured so many hardships while we have also accomplished
so many different things.
Harvey, the turmoil that surrounded our former superintendent, and then also naming Dr. Gagorski
as our new superintendent, and COVID.
We have dealt with a lot, but we have also accomplished quite a bit.
top local state and national awards for our FFA fine arts athletic and academic
programs all of these things come from superior leadership all these
accomplishments are because we never forget that we are here to provide an
educational opportunity for all of our children for all of you in this room and
to the people that are across the state of Texas watching they're watching every
decision you make. As trustees of one of the top districts in Texas,
you must boldly advocate for the funding of public education and for the
integrity of our public education system. You're called to lead the way. There are
others that want to see you fail, but the responsibility is on your shoulders. Our
children are the future of our community, our state, and our country, and the
The decisions will be incredibly difficult and will impact our community for years to
come.
With the leadership of Dr. Bogorski and his incredible team, I am sure that you will make
the right decisions for KDISD.
You must never forget that this board is oversight.
Stay above the line and don't forget where that line is.
To all the staff and teachers of KDISD, I admire you all.
I have been continually impressed by your dedication to the education of our children.
You make a difference.
The impact that you have on our children may or may not be realized in the classroom.
It may take years or even generations to see what seeds you have planted.
I can't look at you, Patty.
Thank you all for taking care of our future.
You are all my heroes, each and every one of you, and you always will be.
I will be your advocate to the day that I die.
I want to thank my family and especially my wife.
You have been understanding and so supportive.
and I appreciate the sacrifices and the support that you have given me. To all
the people who have supported me and to the people of KDISD community, you've
received my all. I feel that I'm leaving this board and KDISD in a better place
than when I was elected. My love for KDISD and our children will never
falter. Thank you for allowing me to be a trustee and putting your faith in my
decisions it has truly been an honor to serve on this board thank you
thank you bill I couldn't look at Patty during that either thank you for all
you've done I don't think the community knows just how many hours of service
you've put into this not just this school district but across the state in
your service of not only to kxd but your tasby role and um i've loved serving with you you will
be missed i'll miss your socks most of all um but thank you for everything you've done and we know
that you'll always be there to champion us and have our backs so thank you so much bill i uh
mr lacey i won't call you mr lacey ever again i'll just be bill from now on um i just want to
to say thank you i appreciate you uh for everything you've done for me and for this district um in
matthew 25 the master tells a servant well done a good faithful servant i hope and pray that you
feel that same thankfulness and appreciation uh absolutely have it for me but i hope you know
that from the district as well thank you madam president this uh guess so i'm gonna i'm gonna
to miss your viewpoint from the Louisiana Public Education. It always cracks me up. I wanted to
thank you too and I agree with Ashley, countless countless hours especially as you've taken on the
role of TASB Director and I know that that has really fed your soul and you've really enjoyed
being a part of that and trying to spread our influence across the entire state. So thank you
for your time for your service wait i made notes where's my other note i had a really good point
and and i i truly know that you have a heart for ktisd and so does patty i don't think any school
board has ever had a cheerleader but we have one and we're going to miss having you out there
cheering so you have to keep coming sorry anyway thank you so much
Mr. Adam President.
Mr. I have to call you Mr. Lacey now and call you Bill.
I appreciate having served with you, Bill, and I didn't know you very well before I came
on the board, but I've been amazed at your energy.
And everywhere I go, it seems you're there.
And I want to echo what Susan said.
I know you got down in the weeds in the TASB service, and I think KDISD benefited from that,
and I appreciate all your hard work, and we've become friends, which I appreciate,
and I know you'll be around, and I know you'll continue to support our district,
and I'm sure we'll be hearing from you in other things, and I wish you well, you and Patty as well,
and I won't bring up LSU football.
Madam President.
Ms. Champagne.
I would like to tell you I really appreciate the service that you've given all these last years and
also especially with what you've done with TASB because I know that that was a big part of what
you've done in the last year and I know that that took a lot of time and um and I know that the
people there really like you a lot and so I think that that is very beneficial to be on the good
side of people there and I know that they're going to miss you too.
Thank you, Ms. Champagne. Mr. Lacey, it's been a pleasure. I know we're going to walk out tonight
together and I know that we will remain friends for a lifetime. You have been strength and calm.
We have faced some pretty interesting things as you've served this past three years
and I agree with everything that all the board members have said.
Thank you for your time, your dedication.
Thank you to our cheerleader and for bringing her along.
She always brings a little spark with that red hair.
And so thank you for your service.
It's been very much appreciated.
And if I may.
Absolutely.
Bill, I appreciate it.
And you talked a little bit about what a board member does
and there's nothing more important than that board member-superintendent relationship.
and the thing i would share with that there are many things a board member does and they do it
for no pay and and they put in a lot of work and hard hours and everything you've done but i would
say the most important thing a board member can do if they want to serve this district is to have
that passion for those kids and you heard it tonight from a couple of the folks who spoke
about that there's there's no doubt in my mind and i think anyone in this community about your
passion for the kids in kdisd and what you've put forth of your time and efforts to help all these
these kids and I appreciate that so thank you thank you dr. Gorgorzky and
thank you again bill in closing first and foremost I would like to thank God
for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity I have learned so much
about leadership service sacrifice a little too much about school finance no
No offense, Chris.
And grace under pressure.
But I cannot walk away tonight without thanking just a few more people.
First and foremost, Stan and Patsy Stanley.
Stan believed in me when I didn't believe in myself
and taught me when all else fails, being kind is easiest and best.
Robert Willoughby, who contrary to rumor,
has never told me how to vote as I sat at this dais on any issue.
first and foremost because simply that's not who he is and second he always has
known that I am just stubborn enough I would have never listened to him anyway
thank you Robert for always protecting me like a father would protect a
daughter past and current board members and superintendents I have served with
you have pushed me challenged me supported me and for that I am grateful
for what I have learned from each of you. My dad, who taught me to think before you
speak. My mom, who showed me that it may not be the popular opinion, but if it's
the right one, always go and do the right thing. Scott and our six children, you
have loaned me to this school district for quite some time now and supported me
and I'm so thankful to have all of you as my rock and my support. In closing, I
leave this administration with this Matthew 514 says you are the light of
the world as stewards of this school district we have been entrusted to leave
Katie I see better than we found it I hope I am doing just that and I
encourage each of you to continue to be lights in this community the 85,000 plus
students are looking at you to light their path it has been my honor and
privilege to serve each of you and with that the board will now convene in

Good evening, President of the Board, Board members, and Superintendent Gagorski.
My name is Jacob Clark.
I have attended Franz Elementary since kindergarten.
This is my fifth year at Franz Elementary.
This year, my homeroom teacher is Mr. Smith.
My two switch teachers are Mr. Freeman and Ms. Lee.
I like the staff at Franz Elementary because they are respectful, lead by example,
and take pride in guiding and teaching.
I like having technology in the classroom for learning. The entire staff
has been working hard to maintain a safe learning environment for everyone during
these times. Last year I was on student council. While I was on student council
we prepared t-shirt designs to represent friends. We also made signs for our food
drive and cancer research programs. The programs are two to three weeks long. I
am grateful to have attended.
I did all five years at a great school.
A special thanks to the school board members for all they do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Jacob.
Mrs. Champagne has a gift for you.
Hi, I'm Mrs. Champagne, and I have a very special gift for you.

Item 8.2
Item 8.2, consider Board approval of the naming of the former L.D. Robinson Pavilion as recommended

Dr. Gagorski.
Thank you, Madam President.
So last month we came forward with a recommendation from the committee to name the former L.D.
Robinson and at that time we had presented that name as Martha Aki, ECI Project Tyke.
Since that meeting, Martha had reached out to me and asked if we would please include
her full name on that building and so I just want to bring that it to the
board's attention that we would be bringing forward Martha Lopez Aki ECI

Move on to the discussion part of our agenda.
Item 9.1, discuss and consider future board approval
of the naming of the Agricultural Sciences Project Center
as recommended by the Naming Advisory Committee.
Dr. Gagorski.
Yeah, thank you, Madam President.
If I could, I get so excited when we start naming things
that I jump ahead and then we recognize Dr. Bell in there.
One thing I had forgotten to do that I had here in my notes, I see Dr. Steele's out there, and she is retiring here, and that's whose Dr. Bell is going to fill her big shoes.
But I didn't want to forget to mention all the years of service Dr. Steele has been here as a principal and as a central office administrator.
And we have great respect for what she has done for this district for many years, appreciate her years of service, and envy her retirement in many ways.
But thank you, Dr. Steele.
all right so now 9.1 is the naming of the agricultural sciences project center
Item 9.1
so last month we talked a little bit about this we had talked about putting a committee together
to name the project center that the three buildings that are on that property to have
names the project center did not so we put a committee together and that committee has come
come back with a recommendation to name the project center after Mr. Gary Voss.
And let me tell you a little bit about Gary.
Mr. Voss began his teaching career with Katy ISD in 1981.
He taught at both Taylor and Maid Creek High Schools before spending his remaining 20 years
as an agricultural sciences teacher at Katy High School,
instrumental part of the continued success of the FFA chapters in Katy ISD.
He instilled the importance of responsibility, determination, leadership,
and accountability in all of his students, spent countless weekends
shuttling students around on buses to conventions and contests, laid the
foundation that has contributed to making KDISD one of the premier FFA
programs in the state. Under his leadership, the district saw state wins
among their leadership and career development teams and numerous champions
in the show ring. After 25 years of service to KDISD, Mr. Voss retired from
teaching in 2006. He and his wife Angela continue to support the students of KDISD
agricultural sciences programs. Mr. Voss received his bachelor of science degree in 1973 from Sam
Houston State University, master's of vocational education from Sam Houston in 1978. So I'm proud
to bring forward that recommendation to the board, open for discussion at this time. And you know,
our regular process as we go through this, that we will have a future meeting, a public meeting,
and then bring it back for final action in the future, should that name hold up through all the
process so that is what we bring forward tonight or do you have any questions or comments okay
we'll move on to 9.2 discuss and consider future board approval of the nomination

December yes ma'am okay good evening president van dr. Gabor scheme board
Item 10.1
item 10.1 is to consider approval of the district September 2020 financial
reports we have our standard for reports the first is our financial statements
which is in two parts which represents our revenues and expenditures for the
budgeted funds our general fund our food service fund and our debt service fund
Expenditures are further broken down by function and high level object for our first month of operations, which is September.
Being our first month, this represents just over 8% of our way through the year.
You're going to see that most of those percentages are falling right along 8% or just below it.
There are a few that are a little higher, and that would mainly be our yearly subscriptions that hit for most of our software.
So that shows as a higher percentage.
You'll also notice we have a small negative revenue showing in our debt service fund in
our local revenue.
We normally see a larger volume of tax refunds based on protests and lawsuits that occur
during the summer months.
This past summer with COVID, a lot of those hearings were being done online and that slowed
the process down.
So we're seeing some of those refunds hit in September and October.
In November, we'll start to see our statements will go out and we'll start to see that revenue
pick up again.
The second report is the construction report, which presents costs through September for our 2017-2014 authorization, our construction-related E-rate funding, and our TERS report.
The tax report summarizes our property tax revenues, and it does reflect those refunds that I spoke of just previously.
And the last report is our check register, which indicates our vendor payments made in the month of September.
So those are our financial reports for the month of September.
Board members, do we have any questions?
Madam President, Ms. Gassoff.
I move that the Board of Trustees approve the September 2020 financial reports.
Second.
The motion was made by Ms. Gassoff, seconded by Mr. Redman,
that the Board of Trustees approve the September 2020 financial reports.
We will now proceed to vote.
All those in favor, please raise your right hand and say aye.
Aye.
Motion passes 7-0.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
Item 10.2, discuss and consider Board approval of the November 2020 budget amendments.
Item 10.2
Ms. Butterfield.
Thank you, President Vann, Trustees, Dr. Grigorski.
We have tonight a general operating fund local revenue increase of $278,000,
along with equal and offsetting expenditures due to event security and dual credit teacher play.
Additional expenditures are amended by $348,000 to cover various timing amendments related to delay in shipments due to COVID,
and the remainder of the general operating fund expenditure amendments are direct offsets between different functions.
Approval of these amendments will result in a $348,301 decrease to the general operating fund fund balance.
Do we have any questions?
I'll entertain a motion.
Madam President.
Mr. Redmond.
I move that the Board of Trustees approves the district's November 2020 budget amendments.
Second.
Second.
A motion was made by Mr. Redman, a second by Ms. Gassoff.
The board approves the District November 2020 budget amendments.
We will now proceed to vote.
All those in favor, please raise your right hand and say aye.
Aye.
Motion passes 7-0.
Item 10.3
You're up for the next one.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Thank you.
Tonight I'm speaking on behalf of the District Investment Officers
as we touch the space and meet this compliance obligation.
Chris and Ann Feitinger and myself are all investment officers for the district,
and we bring you tonight the Public Funds Investment Act requirements
and our CDA local and legal policies.
We have four objectives to accomplish in this report
that will keep us in compliance with those requirements.
The first is for the board to review the investment strategies by fund type.
Second, to approve brokers.
Third, to approve investment pools.
And fourth, to approve investment training resources.
Although CDA Legal describes all of the Public Fund Investment Act authorized investments,
CDA local refines that list for ourselves for KDISD to include
US government bills notes and bonds as well as agency bonds
CDs commercial paper repurchase agreement no load investments and investment pools
Our quarterly reports meet all CDA policy requirements
Our first objective is the longest to explain
primarily our CDA local policy and strategies by fund types are all very similar, although they
are articulated separately. They are consistent with prudent, non-speculative investments focused
on safety, preservation of principle, and liquidity. We have four fund types. Of course,
the general operating fund, special revenue and agency funds are lumped together, and debt service
funds and capital projects funds. All four of these have a three-year not to exceed stated maturity.
However, all must plan for sufficient liquidity to meet cash flows and for the general operating fund,
that cash flow requirement is expanded for a 24-month horizon.
No changes are recommended this year with this report for investment strategies.
The rest of the report is fairly straightforward.
You'll see our list of investment brokers, brokers authorized to engage in transactions with the district.
Brokers have been provided copies of KDISD's CDA legal and local policies,
and their FINRA CDR reports have been pulled and reviewed to ensure that there are no outstanding issues with each of these brokers.
We still have four investment pools authorized by investment policy,
and we have a lengthy list of providers of Public Fund Investment Act training.
These are sufficient to meet the need of our required eight hours every two years of investment training.
That keeps us current in the market and with the current law.
So that's it.
This has met the requirement for PFIA and for CDA legal and local for the board's review of our policies and strategies.
of Chiefs.
Board members, are there any questions?
I will entertain a motion. Madam President,
I move that the Board of Trustees
approve the District's investment policies
and strategies.
Ms. Gessoff made a motion, seconded by
Mr. Keller, that the Board of Trustees approve
the District's investment policies and
strategies. We will now proceed to vote.
All those in favor, please raise your right hand and say
aye. Aye.
Motion passes 7-0. Thank you
very much mrs butterfield
item 10.4 discuss and consider board approval of the annual course editions
Item 10.4
for the 2021-2022 school year dr steele good evening board president van
board members and dr gregorski i'm here this evening to present new
courses for the 2021-2022 school year each year the division of teaching and
and learning facilitates the process of course review,
including soliciting input from central and campus staff
regarding course additions and deletions
for the following year.
As requested received, the division
assesses the content of the course, availability
of the curriculum, highly qualified staff, student
interest, alignment to the TEKS, and relevance
to the district's strategic plan.
Last year, we can, like last year,
we continue to take into account the state expectations on the development of programs of study for career and technology education.
Based on this review, the administration recommends the addition of ten new courses.
Three secondary CNI electives, three special education electives, and four CTE courses that will round out programs of study.
The first two courses included in the secondary CNI list are social studies electives that students can take during their last two years in high school.
Mexican American Studies and African American Studies.
The third course is an advanced academic math course titled Elements of Data Science Gap, which can be accessed by students after they complete statistics.
There are three courses listed in Board Docs for Special Education.
The first two courses I will highlight are Making Connections I and II.
These courses will provide time for Autism Support Intervention Program students to work
on transition, communication, and social skills development.
The third special education course is titled Student to Industry Connection and is a special
ed career and technology course and is meant to give special education students opportunities
opportunities to demonstrate skills in their chosen pathway of study.
Four Career and Technology Education courses are being added to increase the number of
courses and the programs of study and are titled in Board Docs.
This is the second year we conducted a public review of all of the courses submitted for
consideration.
Principals are in agreement that these ten new courses should move forward and be added
to the course catalog for 2021-2022 and be happy to respond to any questions that you may have at
this time thank you so much madam president i have a few questions dr steele first of all
congratulations oh thank you very happy for you when how many years 37 years in education
and 16 here in Katy wow that's amazing thank you for all those years of service thank you
So I have a couple questions.
One, how do we solicit feedback from the students?
You said it's kind of based on student interest.
Do we do a survey?
How do we collect that information?
The folks that collect all of this information are the teachers and the staff at high schools.
They're the ones in junior highs.
They're the ones that ask if we need any more courses, and they're the ones that look from
from the kinds of questions that counselors are getting,
the kinds of courses maybe that they hear about
from students that are already at college going,
I really miss, that's one of the reasons
why we've got the new math elective
that we're pushing forward,
is because there's a gap right there
and students are seeing that when they leave for college.
So that's really the way that we solicit.
And it's also to our curriculum staff here
at the administration building.
We're always in tune to looking at what is out there
for college to make sure that we're meeting the demands of students when
they go they're successful and is there a connection then to the to our
community partners as well kind of you know to industry and what they're seeing
absolutely because we work very closely with Houston Community College who is
currently our dual credit partner and we are also working a lot with the
University of Houston Katie campus now that's on 99 and with all of those
partnerships I am on some of those boards currently where we talk to
economic development and a lot of the other partners that they have so that we
are continually listening through industry what are the courses and the
workforce that is needed for the for our particular local area and then that is
why we continue to work and you keep seeing new courses added in the area of
career and technology and I just want to say I'm thrilled to see African
American and Mexican American studies, you know, to celebrate the rich history and the diversity
of the great state of Texas. And super excited because I'm a nerd to see the data science.
I'm really interested to dig in and see what the curriculum is because most of the data scientists
that I know are PhDs. So it'd be really interesting to see how we bring that down to the level of high
school and get kids excited about it. So thank you very much for your explanations. Thank you. I can
also tell you that the data science course is going to be piloted at Tompkins High School next
next year we had a teacher that brought that forward and he's extremely excited
about getting that course moving forward and getting a class of students and that
kind of thing none of our courses come to life if we don't have students that
want to take them so the teachers do a really good job of making sure our
courses are full especially these new ones it's hard to keep up because ten
years ago who knew what a data scientist was two years ago who knew what one was
thank you very much absolutely board members we have anyone else yes matter
I have a few questions.
Thank you very much for your presentation.
And I again also like Ms. Gasloff really jealous that you get to hire.
But anyway, that's awesome.
I want to know about the automated mode of basics because aren't we currently already
teaching something like that at the Miller Career Center?
Because I know that they do tire changes and things like that.
and how is this different from what they're already okay we are this is
going to be a one credit course that we are going to pair with the course that
we currently have so that we've so that we will have together automatic basics
will be paired with the two credit course that we have currently called
automotive technology one which is maintenance and light repair so that it
will round out a program of study okay and also the principles of hospitality
hospitality and tourism, I think that is awesome because a lot of kids really, I mean, that
sounds fun, but there's so many real life situations over at the Miller Career Center.
You know, you really have the auto shop, you really have the little place for the pets
and you have, you know, is there going to be some kind of simulation for the hospitality
Italian tourism like a mock, I don't know, hotel front counter or something like that that would be...
Okay, well I hear what you're saying. I can tell you that this particular one credit course is
also going to be taken. The one thing, the courses that I brought forward with CTE, when I say they're
rounding out a program of study, it means that there are going to be at least three courses
in that program of study because currently we may only have two and
sometimes only one and for it to be complete we need to have three and so
the four that we brought forward are going to help with that this is another
one of those this one is going to be concurrently taken with culinary arts
one okay and hospitality services one so that it also rounds out a program of
study and over the course of the next few years you're going to see that same
thing happening as we grow those programs of study which were brand new
from TEA last year. So we're going to be working on that for a few more years.
Okay. And then my last question about this is, I used to know this number sort of, but there has
to be so many kids who'd want to take a class for the class to be able to be made. Isn't that
correct? Yes, ma'am. And so will necessarily these courses, especially the first few, will be offered
at all of the campuses? Or like you said, one of them is just going to be offered at Tompkins?
No, so that's an interesting point. So all of the CTE courses that I've talked about today are more than most all of them. Isn't it, Dr. Martin, all of them are going to be taught at Miller Career? Am I right when I say that?
Yes.
Yes. Okay, so most of them are going to be there. So it's going to be, it'll affect students spending a little bit more time there. Okay, and learning more in depth about those particular industries when they're there at that particular place. But yes, the other courses that I talked about, they don't make unless there's the right number of students. And that just depends sometimes on the school of where they are, and the number of kids, you know, there's got to be a good number.
And sometimes we cheat a little bit because it's the first year, those kinds of things, but it really just depends on the quality of staff that they have.
If they've got someone that can teach it, you know, all of those.
It's a lot of different parameters that go into place before we can just offer it as well.
But we give students lots of choice.
Do you have any other questions?
Okay.
There's no more.
I would entertain a motion.
madam president i move i move that the board of trustees approves the course

Item 11.1
district and mr graham you have something to add uh yes ma'am uh trustees we normally
breeze right through this item but i think that there's something very important there to bring
to your attention. Normally we have items that vary in price on there. You'll see some are $10,
less than $10, some are up to $8,000, routine things from booster clubs, etc. We have something
in there that's unique, and I promised the foundation I'd bring it up to you. Alex Bregman,
I don't know if you know him. He's a pretty famous baseball player here in Houston. He has what's
called the Bregman Foundation. They actually reached out to us, to four of our campuses,
McRoberts, Leonard, Griffin, and Stevens, and through their autism awareness
program donated iPads and some money on those iPads to download autism
awareness programs. The total value of those donations which you'll see in
front of you is almost $20,000. So given the
Given the price on it, I felt like it was worth mentioning to this group here today, sort of a one-off thing.
We're very appreciative of that involvement, and I know those campuses are happy to get those resources.
Thank you very much.
