[5. Discussion of Annual Report of Performance on Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) for 2022-2023]
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT, OR TAPER FOR THE YEAR 2022-2023.DOCTOR ELIZALDE. THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT MICCICHE.
SO THIS IS AN ANNUAL REPORT TEA PUTS OUT, AND OUR TEAM THEN, SYNTHESIZES IT AND SUMMARIZES IT.
IT'S ALSO YOU'LL HEAR IN THE PRESENTATION, IT'S AVAILABLE ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUS WEBSITES SO THAT INDIVIDUALS FROM OUR COMMUNITY CAN ALSO, SEE THIS PARTICULAR DATA SET.
AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR LEAR AND DOCTOR OAKLEY.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR ELIZALDE AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE AGAIN TO REPORT ON THE ANNUAL REPORT.
LEGAL REQUIREMENT, THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 39.306 AND AIB LEGAL REQUIRES US TO DO THIS ONCE.
THE TAPER REPORT, WHICH IS THE TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT, IS RELEASED.
[00:05:01]
IT WAS RELEASED DECEMBER 15TH.WE HAVE 90 DAYS TO PRESENT THIS AND WE ARE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME.
SPECIFICALLY TODAY, I'M GOING TO TRY TO CAPSULIZE WHAT'S GOING TO BE IN THIS REPORT AND WHERE TO FIND IT, SO BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE REPORTS ARE EXTENSIVE . THESE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE LISTED.
THEY'RE OUTLINED. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE IN THE NEXT THREE PAGES.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT LONG.
WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE ON THE FAR RIGHT IS THE SECTIONS THAT WILL BE ON THE WEBSITE.
SECTION TWO IS THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE THE AIB THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
SO NOW I'M GOING TO START WITH SECTION THREE.
SECTION THREE DESCRIBES PROVIDES A REPORT FROM TEA ON THE FINANCIAL ACTUAL DATA FOR 21-22.
IT'S ONLY A FIVE PAGE REPORT, FIVE PAGES, AND IT HAS SECTIONS SUCH AS REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, DISBURSEMENTS, TAX RATE AND FUND BALANCE. I HAVE POSTED HERE THAT THE TOTAL REVENUE FOR 21-22 WAS 1.6 BILLION.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE ACCREDITED.
AND SO WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT THAT.
SECTION FIVE IS ACTUALLY THE TAPER REPORT THAT WE TALK ABOUT.
AND THERE'S WE HAVE SEVERAL LINES HERE THAT WE REQUIRED.
AND SO IT'S ONE PLACE TO GET ANY OF THE CAMPUSES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW IN SECTION FIVE B.
NOW THE NEXT TWO ITEMS HERE ARE WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF A TAPER REPORT.
THEY USUALLY TALK ABOUT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION AND ADVENTURE STAGE.
IT HAS NOT BEEN PUBLICLY REPORTED, SO WE DO NOT HAVE THAT AT THIS TIME.
AND THEN WE ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE ARMED SERVICES VOCATIONAL APTITUDE BATTERY TEST.
SO RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOTHING IN THOSE TWO SECTIONS OTHER THAN THE MESSAGE THAT WE SEE HERE.
THE PART ON SECTION SEVEN IS PERFORMANCE CAMPUS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES.
AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT FOLLOWING OR TRYING TO MIMIC THE FIVE OUTCOME GOALS.
AND SO WE HAVE PROVIDED DATA BY CAMPUS OF THE FIVE GOALS AND WHERE EACH CAMPUS STANDS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THAT GOAL, AND THAT WE HAVE IT FOR THE PREVIOUS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THE SECTION EIGHT IS ABOUT A REPORT ON CRIMINAL INCIDENTS AND STUDENT SAFETY.
WE HAVE INFORMATION ON THE 22-23 VIOLENT AND CRIMINAL INCIDENTS, AND WE HAVE REPORTED THAT THERE WERE 38 INCIDENTS IN 2022-23, WHICH COMPARED TO 39 IN 21-22.
WE ALSO HAVE THE INFORMATION OF IN OUR POLICIES ABOUT STUDENT SAFETY.
FFF IS ABOUT STUDENT SAFETY AND WELFARE, AND POLICIES OF FFI ARE ABOUT FREEDOM FROM BULLYING.
SO WE'RE SHOWING THAT WE HAVE POLICIES AROUND THOSE AREAS.
NINE A PROVIDES SEVERAL REPORTS FROM THE THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD, WHICH SHOWS FOR THE CLASS OF 2020 WHERE THE KIDS ARE ON THEIR GPA AT THE DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS BY CAMPUS.
IT ALSO HAS THE FOR THE DISTRICT WHERE OUR KIDS ARE GOING INTO SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS AND NAMES IT.
AND FINALLY, IT HAS THAT BY CAMPUS WHERE OUR KIDS ARE GOING.
THE SECTION B IS OUR OWN INTERNAL ANNUAL REPORT THAT JUST A COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS, PULLING SOME OF THE DATA TOGETHER ABOUT OUR STUDENTS MEETING THE, YOU KNOW , SAT AND OTHER INFORMATION THERE, FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR.
[00:10:06]
THE LAST PAGE IS REALLY TO TELL YOU THAT.WE POSTED ABOUT THIS PUBLIC HEARING IN THE IN OUR DISD WEBSITE.
WE HAD PRESS RELEASES IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, AL DIA AND THE NORTH DALLAS GAZETTE.
WE ALSO WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC WE CAN PROVIDE HARD COPIES UPON REQUEST.
IT IS A PRETTY LONG REPORT, SO WE WILL HAVE THEM ONCE IF THEY CANNOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE.
AND THE LINK THAT IS POSTED IS PART OF THE DALLAS ISD UNDER EVALUATION ASSESSMENT.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
ARE THERE ANY.. THANK YOU, DOCTOR OAKLEY QUESTIONS ANYONE? YES. TRUSTEE FOREMAN.
SO, CECILIA, JUST A FEW QUESTIONS.
I NOTICED THAT YOU SAID THE SPECIAL EDUCATION REPORT WASN'T THERE AND WE WERE EXPECTING IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN WE WILL GET THE SPECIAL EDUCATION REPORT? WE DID RECEIVE IT IN OUR SECURE SITE, SO WE DO HAVE IT NOW.
IT'S NOT PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, BUT WE DO NOW HAVE IT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE IN THE TRACKER.
OKAY. IF YOU WOULD PROVIDE THAT FOR ME, AND I'M ONE OF THOSE THAT'S GOING TO NEED A HARD COPY.
SO IF I COULD HAVE A HARD COPY, PLEASE.
IS THERE A COMPARISON TO THE PREVIOUS YEARS? THERE'S FIVE YEARS OF DATA.
ANYONE ELSE? DOCTOR ELIZALDE, DO YOU? I JUST WANTED TO ADD, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN RECENT, MEDIA ATTENTION AROUND THE RELEASE OF CERTAIN RATINGS IN A DISTRICT NOT HERE.
AND THOSE ARE ACTUALLY, I'M TALKING ABOUT HOUSTON ISD, AND THOSE ARE SELF-REPORTED RATINGS.
THOSE ARE THE ESTIMATES THAT THAT DISTRICT IS PROVIDING.
THOSE ARE NOT PROVIDED BY TEA, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW TEA HAS BEEN PRECLUDED FROM RELEASING THOSE RATINGS, AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE THOUGHT WE HAD THOSE RATINGS AND THAT WE WEREN'T RELEASING THEM.
WE'RE ACTUALLY ALL, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE IN PART OF THE LAWSUIT, WANT TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE JUDGE'S RULING THAT NONE OF THOSE BE RELEASED? WE DO NOT HAVE THEM.
WE HAVE DATA, AND WE CAN DO OUR BEST TO EXTRAPOLATE SOME OF THAT.
BUT IF ANY MOMENT WE WERE TO RELEASE EVEN WHAT WE ESTIMATE THEM TO BE TO THE PUBLIC, THEN WE WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAWSUIT THAT WE, ARE A PART OF.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
SO, DOCTOR ELIZALDE, I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THAT.
YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE A THROUGH F ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS BECAUSE THE PUBLIC MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND.
YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
I'M REFERRING TO THE OFFICIAL STATE RATINGS THAT ARE A THROUGH F.
AND AGAIN, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN HOUSTON ISD IS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY, CERTAIN D'S AND F'S AND WE DO NOT AND NEITHER DO THEY HAVE THOSE RATINGS FROM THE STATE.
THOSE ARE ALL ESTIMATES THAT ARE BEING DONE INTERNALLY BY HOUSTON ISD.
OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE WHITE.
AS FAR AS THIS INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE, THIS IS GOING TO BE ON THE, [INAUDIBLE] ON THE HOME PAGE.
CORRECT. SO THAT WHEN THEY ACTUALLY CLICK THERE, IT'S GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY TAKE THEM TO THE PAGE? ARE YOU ASKING IF IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE HOME PAGE? YEAH, I NEED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S THERE ON THE HOME PAGE AS A THING.
BUT I LOOKED AT IT AND I NOTICED IT TODAY, SO I'LL MAKE SURE IT IS BY TOMORROW.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A GOOD THING IF WE DID PUT IT ON THE HOME PAGE, BECAUSE WE OCCASIONALLY WE DO STILL HAVE BROKEN LINKS THAT WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT, IT LEADS TO, NOWHERE.
SO THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF, WE DEFINITELY CAN DO THAT.
AND ALSO IS THERE BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE REPORTING THE TAPER.
THE TAPER REPORT IS ACTUALLY REPORTED TO TEA.
SO, BECAUSE I WAS JUST LOOKING AT ONE.
[00:15:01]
SO THAT'S THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WE'RE RECEIVING WITH, AND IT HAD LIKE FIVE YEARS OF DATA FOR..THE TAPER REPORT USUALLY HAS ONLY TWO YEARS.
TWO YEARS.. CURRENT AND THE PREVIOUS.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS MEETING.
THANK YOU ALL.
