[6. VISION/PROGRESS MONITORING]
SIX VISION AND PROGRESS MONITORING BOARD.LOCAL AND LOCAL INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
DOCTOR LOZADA, YOUR TEAM HAVE THE FLOOR.
THIS IS AGAIN OUR TIME MONTHLY WHEN WE BRING YOU UPDATES ON SOME OF OUR STUDENT BASED OUTCOMES.
THE REAL REASON WHY WE ALL EXIST.
AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE DATA BEFORE, BUT YOU'VE SEEN THEM IN SEPARATE REPORTS.
SO AS IS REQUIRED IN OUR POLICY, LOCAL DOCTOR LUSK WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU THE SUMMARY OF THE ITEMS OUTLINED IN E LOCAL.
AND HE WILL THEN, OF COURSE, TAKE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CRITIQUES AFTER THE PRESENTATION.
SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT, BRIAN LUSK.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR ELIZALDE, AND GOOD AFTERNOON, TRUSTEES.
I WANT TO JUST FIRST START BY RECOGNIZING AND HIGHLIGHTING OUR STUDENTS HERE.
AS YOU SEE, STUDENTS IN THEIR PRACTICUM, ACTUALLY FROM CAREER INSTITUTE, SOUTH PRICE CAREER INSTITUTE THEY HAD THREE DAYS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO SHADOW A DOCTOR, WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING FOR EXPERIENCES.
[00:05:02]
WE ALSO I WOULD JUST WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY THIS PAST SATURDAY, WE HAD A GROUNDBREAKING FOR CAREER INSTITUTE SOUTH FOR THE WORK, THE BOND WORK THAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT. AND WE HAD ANOTHER NICE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE DOCTOR AND MISTER PRICE AT THAT EVENT.AS NOTED FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT, A FEW YEARS AGO, E LOCAL WAS WAS APPROVED BY THIS BOARD FOR THE PURPOSES OF REPORTING VARIOUS METRICS RELATED TO COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. AS SUCH, THOSE WILL BE REPORTED TODAY.
SO I WILL GET STARTED WITH THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION OF THE CONTENT KEY METRIC ONE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IS NOTED KEY METRIC ONE MEASURES COLLEGE READINESS VIA VIA ASSESSMENTS, WHETHER IT BE TSI, SAT OR ACT.
SO WE ARE LOOKING BACK AT GRADUATES.
THESE ARE LAGGED DATA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
AND SPECIFICALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CLASS OF 23.
BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE SAYING ESTIMATE BECAUSE THE STATE HAS TO BASICALLY VALIDATE THESE DATA.
BUT ULTIMATELY THESE DATA FOR 23 WILL SHOW UP ON THE 24 AND THE AUGUST 24TH STATE TAPER REPORT.
BUT I AM EXCITED TO TELL YOU THIS.
WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS THIS YEAR DUE TO THE STRATEGIES IN THE STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS WE MADE LAST YEAR AND ACTUALLY THIS YEAR, WHICH IS OFFERING COLLEGE PREP COURSE WHERE OUR STUDENTS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO ACTUALLY PREPARE AND TAKE A COURSE THAT GETS THEM READY FOR THE TSIA.
AND AS SUCH AS YOU SEE, WE WERE 24 TWO YEARS AGO, 26 WITH LAST YEAR'S GRADUATES.
CURRENTLY FOR OUR 24 STUDENTS WHO WILL GRADUATE IN FIVE WEEKS, WE ARE AT 32%.
SO WE ARE CURRENTLY UP SIX PERCENTAGE POINTS YEAR OVER YEAR.
SO WE'RE PROUD OF THE WORK THAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE DONE.
THEY'VE REALLY WORKED HARD TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS ARE PROGRESSING.
AND I THINK AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE STUDENT GROUPS MAKE PROGRESS.
INDUSTRY. INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATIONS EARNED BY SENIORS.
THAT BEING, THEY EARN ONE OR MORE IBCS THROUGHOUT THEIR FOUR YEARS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE STOPLIGHT IS GREEN.
HAS MADE TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS EARNING IBCS IN THE LEVEL OF COURSES THAT ARE REQUIRED.
WE GREW SIGNIFICANTLY YEAR OVER YEAR.
THE TARGET WAS 30. WE LANDED AT 63 WITH NEARLY EVERY STUDENT GROUP MAKING VERY STRONG PROGRESS.
AND I WOULD JUST SAY FOR THE GROUP THAT DID NOT MAKE PROGRESS, THE WHITE GROUP, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE WHITE GROUP REPRESENTS 4.6 OF OUR 4.6 PERCENTAGE POINTS OF OUR ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS.
SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE.
SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF POINT THAT OUT.
THE STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENT WE ARE MAKING HERE IS REALLY TWO MAIN THINGS.
BUT IN DOING THAT, WE'RE ACTUALLY ROLLING OUT WHAT WE CALL A PATHWAY MANAGER SO THAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE A TOOL TO ENSURE THAT THE RIGHT SEQUENCE, OF COURSE COURSES ARE AVAILABLE AND OFFERED TO THE STUDENTS IN A PARTICULAR PATHWAY IN THEIR GIVEN HIGH SCHOOL OR IN THE CAREER INSTITUTE AS WELL.
MOVING TO KEY METRIC THREE, KEY METRIC THREE MEASURES LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO CERTIFICATES.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE STOPLIGHT IS GREEN.
SO WHILE IT MATTERS, IT'S ALSO A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE CLASS.
SAW GOOD PROGRESS IN MOST CASES.
AND I WOULD KIND OF POINT OUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THIS DISCUSSION WE'VE HAD FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS WE'VE MOVED AWAY FROM THE APPLIED SCIENCES DEGREES, WHICH WERE STEEPED VERY HEAVILY IN SPECIFIC CONTENT COURSES AND JUST A FEW OF THE CORE CONTENT COURSES.
WE'VE ACTUALLY FLIPPED THAT MODEL DUE TO YOUR FEEDBACK AND FEEDBACK OF THE COMMUNITY.
[00:10:02]
SEQUENCE OF COURSES THAT LEAD COLLEGE COURSES, I SHOULD SAY THAT LEAD TO A CERTIFICATE, ARE TAKING THE RIGHT COURSES AND WE DON'T TRIP THEM UP BY SOMEHOW, SOME WAY PUTTING THEM, PUTTING THEM IN A COURSE THAT IS NOT TIED TO THAT CERTIFICATE OPPORTUNITY.AS WE TURN TO KEY METRIC NUMBER FOR FINANCIAL AID.
THAT'S BEEN QUITE A CHALLENGE FOR OUR STUDENTS.
WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS YEAR OVER YEAR FROM 89% COLLECTIVELY TO 96%.
THIS ONE DOES NOT, IF YOU MIGHT RECALL, BECAUSE THIS IS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
AND WE FELT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO ANYWAY.
WE EXPECT TO BE, YOU KNOW, AT A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE.
NONETHELESS, WE DID MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
SEVEN PERCENTAGE POINT OVERALL GAIN.
AND THE GREEN LIGHT, OF COURSE, IS GREEN.
STOPLIGHT IS GREEN, I SHOULD SAY.
AND THEN KEY METRIC NUMBER FIVE, JUST TURNING QUICKLY TO IT.
THIS IS TWO AND FOUR YEAR ENROLLMENT TO INSTITUTION OF HIGHER INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER ED.
IN THE FALL FOLLOWING YEAR OF GRADUATION.
WE WE MAINTAINED OR DROPPED A SLIGHT A POINT, I SHOULD SAY, FROM 48 TO 47 WITH A TARGET OF 59.
WE CLEARLY HAVE WORK TO DO HERE.
YOU'LL SEE SOME YELLOW ARROWS.
THOSE YELLOW ARROWS REPRESENT EITHER A LOSS OF ONE OR STAYING NO GAIN OR NO LOSS AT A ZERO.
I DO THINK SOME OF THESE STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS THAT YOU THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE, SUCH AS HAVING OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER ADVISORS BE HAVE TIME IN THE SUMMER TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WHERE WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY IN THE PAST.
SO THEY WILL HELP THEM WITH THAT SUMMER MELT THAT WE ALL KIND OF KNOW IS THERE.
IN ADDITION, THE TEAM IS SUPPORTING OUR TEAM IS SUPPORTING HIGH SCHOOLS AND HAVING REGISTRATION READY DRIVES AT EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL IN DALLAS ISD SO THAT STUDENTS CAN GET ENROLLED INTO DALLAS COLLEGE OR BE VERY COGNIZANT AND READY FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE WANT THEM.
AS WE TURN TO THE SUMMER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SLIDE.
I'LL JUST QUICKLY TALK TALK THROUGH THEM.
YOU'VE HEARD THE DATA ALREADY.
26% OF GRADUATES OF TSI MET, BUT WE'RE ALREADY AT 32 FOR A CURRENT CLASS.
63% OF GRADUATES HAVE EARNED IVC THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR, AND WE'RE ON A TRAJECTORY TO TOWARDS MEETING OUR TARGET OF 37 FOR THE NEXT YEAR WITH OUR CURRENT CLASS OF 24. WE DID MEET THE CERTIFICATE LEVEL ONE, LEVEL TWO CERTIFICATES.
THE GOAL FOR 40. WE ARRIVED AT 470.
FINANCIAL AID I TALKED ABOUT WITH 96%.
AND THEN FINALLY, COLLEGE ENROLLMENT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE WORKED TO DO, BUT IT LANDED AT 47%.
THIS IS CHIEF ABEL AT THE LETTER OF INTENT EVENT THAT WAS HELD A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR P-TECH AND EARLY COLLEGE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN EDUCATION PATHWAYS, THAT THEY WILL COME BACK TO US, AND THEY HAVE A LETTER TO SAY THAT WE WILL EMPLOY THEM SHOULD THEY DO THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
TRUSTEES. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. SO, BRIAN, I HAVE JUST A FEW QUESTIONS AND I'M GOING TO START ON SLIDE THREE.
AND A QUESTION THAT I HAVE, AND I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED IT BEFORE CHANGING THE WAY WE WERE DOING SOME OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, REIMAGINING HIGH SCHOOLS. WE TOOK A LOT OF THE CERTIFICATION TYPE PROGRAMS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
SO CAN STUDENTS STILL RECEIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CERTIFICATIONS FROM THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AND NOT BE GOING THROUGH THE CAREER INSTITUTE? YES, MA'AM. ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY. COULD YOU SHARE WITH ME? AND I'M SURE THE REST OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO KNOW TOO, AT EACH SCHOOL BY TRUSTEE DISTRICT WHAT THOSE CERTIFICATIONS ARE, SO THAT WE WILL HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING AS WE TRY TO GO OUT AND MARKET TO OUR COMMUNITY.
YES, MA'AM. I'LL BE GLAD TO DO THAT, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE.
PAGE THREE, THE PERCENTAGE OF SENIORS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE CAREER INSTITUTE. DO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THE PERCENTAGE OF SENIORS THAT AND I THINK SOUTH IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT I'M
[00:15:04]
THINKING ABOUT. SO DO WE HAVE THE NUMBER OF SENIORS THAT ARE CURRENTLY.AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
OKAY. BUT BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY APPRECIATE HAVING THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.
AND IF THEY'RE ON TRACK FOR CERTIFICATION AND WHAT'S THE ONE THAT'S GETTING THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK? OKAY. WE WILL GLADLY DO THAT.
YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS WITH THE NUMBER OF WHITES THAT ARE ARE SENIORS, IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT'S 473.
AND THAT'S BASED ON THE FAFSA AND TAXPAYER INFORMATION INPUT.
BUT WHEN I FLIP ANOTHER PAGE THEY SEEM TO BE THE ONES THAT'S GOING TO COLLEGE.
SO HOW DOES THAT CORRELATE? YEAH, WE DO HAVE A SMALL NUMBER OF WHITE STUDENTS.
AND I THINK I SAID EARLIER, ABOUT AROUND 4.6% ACROSS OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND YES, THERE'S THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDENTS GOING TO COLLEGE.
AND SO I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T ARGUE THAT POINT.
SO IF YOU JUST LOOK ON PAGE FIVE AND SIX IS WHAT I'M REFERRING TO, WE HAVE THEY HAVE A LARGE PERCENTAGE GOING TO COLLEGE, BUT A SMALLER PERCENTAGE FILLING OUT THE FAFSA AND FAFSA.
WELL, BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE I MEAN, FAST BUT NOT TAXABLE.
AND THAT'S JUST INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THOSE DYNAMICS WHEN I LOOK AT THIS WHOLE SITUATION.
AND THEN LASTLY, DO WE HAVE SPECIFIC GOALS FOR EACH CAREER INSTITUTE IN TERMS OF HOW MANY CERTIFICATIONS WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR? WE ACTUALLY EXPECT EVERY STUDENT WHO GRADUATES FROM, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH THE CAREER INSTITUTE TO HAVE ONE OR MORE CERTIFICATIONS, BECAUSE IN THE END, YOU KNOW, OUR COMMITMENT IS IF THE SCHOOLS WILL ALLOW US TO SUPPORT THEIR SERVE, THEIR STUDENTS, WE WILL SEND THEM BACK WITH CERTIFICATIONS, AT LEAST ONE OR MORE CERTIFICATIONS.
THANK YOU HAVE TRUSTEE WHITE FOLLOWED BY TRUSTEE MACKEY.
GOOD EVENING. I'M ON MATRIX KEY MATRIX NUMBER FIVE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THESE NUMBERS ARE AFTER THE STUDENTS HAVE LEFT OUR CARE AND HAVE GONE ON TO IT DEPENDS IF THEY ACQUIRED AN ASSOCIATES OR IF THEY ARE STILL ON TRACK.
I CAN UNDERSTAND WE MAY HAVE WE WE MAY HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES INTERESTED IN HOW OUR STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE COLLEGE READY AND NOT HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF REMEDIAL COURSES WHEN THEY HIT THEIR CAMPUS.
BUT EITHER WAY IT GO, THEY'RE HAPPY BECAUSE THEY'RE MAKING MONEY.
BUT WE DEFINITELY HOPE THAT WE HAVE THEM READY BEFORE THEY HIT.
HOW ARE WE KEEPING TRACK OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE LEFT OUR, OUR CARE BY GRADUATING? WELL, I THINK THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT COME TO MIND.
MICHAEL GAYNOR IS HERE, BUT HIS TEAM WORKS ON WHAT WE CALL ALUMNI TRACKING AND SUPPORT SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE CAN CONNECT WITH STUDENTS AND FIND OUT WHAT SUPPORTS THEY NEED THAT WE CAN CONNECT THEM TO SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THEY DON'T JUST GET TO THAT JOURNEY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY WORK TOWARDS FINISHING THAT JOURNEY.
AND AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT SOME OF THIS DATA THAT WE'RE WORKING IN ARREARS WITH BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE DATA REAL TIME BECAUSE ONCE THEY LEAVE, WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO STAY, IF THEY'RE TAKING A FULL LOAD OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW.
WE ARE PARTNERING WITH DALLAS COLLEGE, FORMERLY DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GOOD WIN FOR BOTH OF US TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED ON THIS END THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM BEFORE THEY GO.
THEY GO ON TO WHEREVER THEY'RE GOING BECAUSE THEY'RE ALSO TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF NUMBERS.
[00:20:01]
AND IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT JUST JUST AS IT IS.I FEEL FOR US, I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE HAVING THE SAME SITUATION HAPPEN BECAUSE ONCE A STUDENT GETS IN A TRACK, THE FAMILY MAY MOVE. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN THAT MAY CAUSE AND THEN WE MAY GET FAMILIES IN THAT, THAT JOIN OUR TRACK.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS PARTNERING WITH PARTNERING WITH THEM.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT CAN BE DONE.
I WAS KIND OF TRYING TO THINK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
BUT I HOPE THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY DO LOOK AT SINCE WE ARE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE ACTUALLY COLLEGE READY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
TRUSTEE, WANG TRUSTEE MACKEY AND TRUSTEE MICCICHE.
YEAH. FIRST, THANK YOU, BRIAN, TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM, DOCTOR ALLDAY.
REPORTING THIS EVERY TIME WE DO THIS.
I THINK IT'S SO GREAT TO LOOK AT US LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD THAN JUST GRADUATION DAY AND LOOKING AT STUDENTS WHO ARE ACTUALLY ACHIEVING CREDENTIALS AND CERTIFICATES, WHO ARE GOING OFF TO COLLEGE.
IT SENDS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MESSAGE THAN JUST LOOKING AT GRADUATION DAY.
AND WE'VE DONE OUR PART, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT MAKING SURE KIDS ARE BENEFITING FROM THAT.
SO I KNOW THAT'S A BIG SHIFT OVER THESE LAST FEW YEARS THAT YOU ALL HAVE REALLY LED.
THE FIRST ONE ON TSE I THINK THAT WAS NUMBER ONE.
YES. SO OBVIOUSLY THE TAPER REPORT LAGS IN THIS CASE, AND YOU ALL HAVE BEEN DOING A TON OF WORK.
I THINK THE STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE MADE, YOU'VE BEEN IMPLEMENTING OVER THE LAST EIGHT, NINE MONTHS AND ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH CLASS OF 2024, WHO IS STILL IN OUR SCHOOLS.
WHAT ARE WE SEEING PRELIMINARY DATA AS FAR AS OUR STUDENTS TODAY KNOWING FULL WELL IT'S NOT FINALIZED, WE CURRENTLY SEE THAT OUR THE CLASS OF 24, WE ARE AT ABOUT 32% OF OUR SENIORS THAT ARE TSE MET WITH THROUGH THE ASSESSMENTS.
I MEAN SO LIKE THIS LOOKS LIKE A MODEST GROWTH, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO A A TARGET OF 35.
AND I THAT'S REALLY EXCITING TO HEAR.
QUESTION JUMPING NOW TO FAFSA, FAFSA METRIC FOR WHEN I SEE THIS.
WE'VE OBVIOUSLY SEEN A MASSIVE INCREASE HERE FROM 67 TO 96.
THERE'S LAWS AROUND THIS, AND WE KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF NATIONAL ISSUES WITH FAFSA THIS YEAR.
ANYWAYS. HOW IS THIS TRANSLATED? BECAUSE THE GOAL HERE IS THAT STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE FAFSA, TESSA, ARE MORE LIKELY TO GO TO COLLEGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT BUCKET.
ARE WE SEEING THAT TREND FOR OUR DISTRICT, AND HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE IT'S NOT JUST A CHECKBOX, BUT INSTEAD IS ACTUALLY HOW ARE WE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH KIDS ABOUT WHAT POST-SECONDARY LOOKS LIKE? WELL, I THINK THE EXPANSION THAT THIS BOARD APPROVED, THAT WHAT, A YEAR OR TWO AGO WITH $11 MILLION TO SUPPORT THE WORK WE'RE DOING.
YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF LIKE OUR DATA.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LAG, RIGHT? YOU'RE GOING TO SEE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT SHOW UP SOON ENOUGH, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE HAVING STUDENTS WHO ARRIVE AT HIGH SCHOOL AND ALREADY HAVE NOT ONLY THEIR THEIR COUNSELOR HELP THEM, RIGHT, BUT A COLLEGE AND CAREER ADVISOR HELP THEM IN THE PROCESS.
SO I THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO HELP AID THE PROCESS.
RIGHT NOW, AS YOU SAW IN THE NEXT SLIDE COLLEGE ENROLLMENT IS IS HAS MAINTAINED, I THINK OVER TIME, I THINK OVER THIS NEXT FEW MONTHS AND THEN INTO NEXT YEAR, I THINK WE SHOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE DATA IMPROVE AS IT RELATES TO COLLEGE ENROLLMENT.
THANK YOU. JUMPING TO SLIDE SIX THEN, WHICH IS THE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE.
SO OBVIOUSLY 47% BASED ON THIS NUMBERS FROM 2223.
WHAT CLASS IS THAT? IS THAT CLASS OF 23.
DO WE KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT 40.
HOW MANY OF THOSE PERCENT, 47% OR FOUR YEAR VERSUS TWO YEAR.
SO 31% WERE FOUR YEAR AND 16% WERE TWO YEAR.
AND THEN HOW DOES IT COUNT FOR A STUDENT WHO ALREADY EARNED THEIR ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE? THEY'VE COMPLETED THE TWO YEAR WITH US AND SAY THEY GO INTO THE WORKFORCE.
HOW WOULD THEY COUNT ON THIS? MY UNDERSTANDING RECOLLECTION IS THAT THEY WOULD NOT COUNT ON THIS TOWARDS THIS ENROLLMENT BECAUSE IT'S CAPTURING STUDENTS POST HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.
BUT I'D BE CURIOUS TO KNOW THAT.
I WONDER IF WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE GRADUATES.
[00:25:01]
BECAUSE TO ME, IF 10% OF OUR GRADUATING CLASS WHO GOT ASSOCIATE'S DEGREES, LET'S ASSUME THEY ALL GO INTO THE WORKFORCE.WE SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR THEM ON THIS.
IF THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE THAT IT'S GETTING A DING THAT WE MIGHT ACTUALLY SEE THIS DECREASE IN WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY INCREASED BY A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF KIDS WHO EARN THEIR ASSOCIATES. MY LAST QUESTION HERE IS THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOW NUMBER.
THAT'S 16% ENROLLING IN DALLAS COLLEGE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE DEPTH OF OUR PARTNERSHIP.
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO TRY TO GET THESE OTHER 53% OF KIDS WHO ARE NOT ENROLLING IN ANYTHING INTO AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE PROGRAM AT DALLAS COLLEGE? THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS THAT I REFERENCED HERE AND I WANT.
ROOM KIND OF QUICK, SO FORGIVE ME, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE'RE HAVING WE'RE CALLING REGISTRATION READY DRIVES EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE THE TEAM WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH DALLAS COLLEGE WITH SUCCESS, COACHES FROM DALLAS COLLEGE, AND HELPING KIDS TO REGISTER SO THAT WE CAN GET MORE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GO THERE, REMOVE BARRIERS AND GET THEM THERE IS THE FALL QUICKLY APPROACHES.
WHEN WOULD WE SEE WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S WORKING IN THESE NUMBERS? WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY IN THE FALL THEY HAVE TO BE ENROLLED IN THE FALL FOR US TO SEE THAT.
BUT WE WILL HAVE A REPORT AROUND NOVEMBER 1ST.
GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.
APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORT AND HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS.
THE ONE NUMBER THAT REALLY STANDS OUT TO ME IS THE NUMBER 63 ON ON THE THIRD SLIDE.
AND THEN IT'S ALSO IN YOUR TAKEAWAY SLIDE AT THE END.
WE WERE AT 10 IN 22, WE'RE AT 29 IN 23.
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF OF 63%.
THAT'S JUST. ASTOUNDING GROWTH THAT WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR FOR THAT.
RIGHT? SO WHAT WE RECOGNIZED WAS THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WHO MIGHT BE IN A DIFFERENT PROGRAM TO ALSO, YOU KNOW, DO A LITTLE BIT OF STUDY AND GET SUPPORT FROM THE SCHOOL AND THEN TAKE A CERTIFICATION EXAM, BECAUSE THEN IT JUST ADDS TO ONE MORE CREDENTIAL THAT THEY COULD HAVE IN THEIR TOOL BELT AS THEY GRADUATE.
OKAY. WELL, THAT'S THAT'S TWICE WHAT OUR TARGET IS.
OVER. TWICE WHAT? OUR OUR TARGET IS.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY WORTHY OF WORTHY OF NOTE.
ON OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING, I'VE ALWAYS KIND OF YOU KNOW, LOOKED AT OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING AS BEING SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER TYPES OF INCENTIVES THAT THE STATE HAS.
THEY HAVE THERE'S INCENTIVES FOR PRE-K.
AND SO IF YOU DO IF YOU EXPAND PRE-K, THERE'S FUNDING THAT COMES IN AT THE SAME TIME.
RIGHT? THERE'S A THERE'S FUNDING FOR SUMMER SCHOOL IN CERTAIN CERTAIN CASES.
AND IF YOU DO THE SUMMER SCHOOL, THE FUNDING COMES COMES WITH IT.
AND THEN THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, IF YOU IF YOU HAVE THE THE RIGHT KIND OF PROGRAM IN PLACE, YOU GET FUNDING AT THE AT THE SAME TIME OR CLOSE IN TIME WITH OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING IT.
THERE'S A LAG, BUT IS THERE IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE DOING TO GET THAT OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING THAT WE WOULDN'T OTHERWISE DO? THERE IS AND I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT AND CHALLENGING ONE IS THE TSI.
AND SO AS YOU SAID, 63% OF OUR STUDENTS EARNED AN IBC LAST YEAR, RIGHT? WE ALSO ARE BEING VERY DILIGENT IN SAYING ANY STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN IN A LEVEL TWO COURSE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THEY, YOU KNOW, TAKE THAT TEST AND WORK TOWARDS BEING SUCCESSFUL ON THAT TEST BECAUSE THEN THAT WILL TRIGGER OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING.
AND WHAT WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF THE OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING IF WE IF WE HIT 63%, THAT'S A HARD THAT'S A HARD MATH PROBLEM.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT, TO BE HONEST.
[00:30:01]
DO WE KNOW WHAT 30% IS OR NOT OFFHAND, BECAUSE HERE'S HERE'S WHY.BECAUSE THE STATE FUNDS IT DIFFERENTLY FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, $5,000 FOR NON ECODYST STUDENTS, IT'S $3,000 FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, IT'S $2,000 ABOVE WHATEVER THEY STAND ON.
SO IT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER, BUT I APPRECIATE I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
THERE'S A LARGE OPPORTUNITY AHEAD OF US.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ORGANIZATION HAD POSTED SOME INFORMATION AND THEY, THEY HAD KIND OF HAD A, HAD A COLUMN FOR OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING MONEY LEFT ON THE TABLE.
AND I, I'M NOT SURE I AGREE WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION OF IT, BUT IT, BUT IT SHOWED ON A STATEWIDE BASIS, MOST DISTRICTS WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO MAXIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT, THAT THEY COULD GET FROM OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING.
YOU'VE SEEN ALL THAT DATA, RIGHT? YES, SIR. OKAY. AND AND I'M JUST WONDERING, IS, IS THERE A BIAS IN OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING TO, IN TERMS OF WHO GETS TO WHO QUALIFIES? I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF THE REWARD A DISTRICT GETS DEPENDING UPON WHETHER THE STUDENT IS ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED OR NOT. BUT I MEAN, IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO QUALIFY WHAT A DISTRICT THAT HAS NO ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT MAXIMIZING OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING AS COMPARED TO A DISTRICT LIKE OURS, WHICH HAS, YOU KNOW, 90% OF OUR KIDS AT ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED.
I JUST I'M WONDERING ABOUT THE POLICY AND HOW IT AFFECTS US.
I'LL LET DOCTOR LUSK NOT SWEAT RIGHT NOW.
SO IN ORDER TO GET OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING, YOU HAVE TO NOT.
SO THE CERTIFICATIONS ARE ONE QUALIFICATION.
THAT'S ONE AREA BUT ANOTHER AREA.
WHICH TO YOUR QUESTION ON ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED.
RIGHT. AND SO YOU HAVE TO FIRST HAVE COMPLETED NUMBER ONE.
IF YOU'RE HIGHLAND PARK, THIS NUMBER THAT TIES BETWEEN ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED AND OUTCOMES IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THIS NUMBER. AND THEN THE SECOND PART THAT STILL DOESN'T QUALIFY US FORGET ABOUT WHAT CATEGORIES OF WEIGHTS WE GET FIRST IS DO WE QUALIFY FOR ANY DOLLARS AT ALL.
AND THEY HAVE TO DO NUMBER FIVE, SO IT'S NOT EVEN ONE OR THE OTHER.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE SCORED AT THE TSAI MET AND THEY HAVE TO ENROLL.
AND THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ECONOMICS AND WHAT WE HAVE LISTED IN E LOCAL OF ITEMS ONE AND FIVE ARE MUCH HIGHER IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT SERVE VERY FEW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED KIDS.
DOES THAT ANSWER PART OF YOUR QUESTION? YEAH. IT DOES.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY I THINK WE SHOULD GO GO FOR THE OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING MONEY TO THE EXTENT WE POSSIBLY, POSSIBLY CAN, AS LONG AS IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WITH, WITH OUR WITH OUR GOALS.
BUT I WAS JUST, JUST WONDERING HOW IN TERMS OF EQUITY, WHETHER OUTCOMES BASED FUNDING WAS WAS MEETING OUR EQUITY ASPIRATIONS.
BUT WE'LL TAKE THE EXTRA FUNDING.
AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING MAKING SURE THERE ARE KIDS ARE ARE SUCCEEDING.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO.
QUESTION CAME FROM ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
THE ZINS WE I THINK, CAN'T SUPPORT THEM.
AND FOR YOU, IF YOU ACTUALLY GO INTO THE PROBLEM WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AND RIGHT AND PUT ONE IS THEY ARE FULLY PRICED AND I THINK THEY, I BELIEVE RESOURCED TO DO WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO TO HELP ITS KIDS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
THEY EVEN FEEL IT. AND SO THANK YOU SO.
[00:35:04]
THANK YOU. TRUSTEE TRUSTEE JOHNSON TRUSTEE CARREÓN.DOCTOR LUZ. THANK YOU FOR THE FOR THE REPORT.
JUST A COUPLE THINGS, I THINK.
CAN YOU PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH JUST, I GUESS, A COMPARISON TO OTHER URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TEXAS? I THINK. I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
ON SLIDE ON SLIDE THREE, METRIC NUMBER TWO.
I'M INTERESTED IN KIND OF AN, A BREAKDOWN OF THE CERTIFICATIONS OBTAINED.
SO CERTIFICATIONS IN, IN WHAT EXACTLY.
AND THEN IN ON SLIDE SIX KEY METRIC FIVE.
I KNOW WE GET THAT. WE GET THAT INFORMATION FROM FROM THE CLEARINGHOUSE.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE A BREAKDOWN OF OF THE PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATES ENROLLED IN COLLEGE BY HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS? YES, SIR. OKAY.
I WOULD APPRECIATE THOSE THREE THINGS.
ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[7. INFORMATION/REPORTS]
WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN OF THE AGENDA INFORMATION REPORTS AND ITEM SEVEN A THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE RESOLUTION UPDATE.AS WE DO ANNUALLY, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE BRING YOU THE LATEST INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO HOW WE ARE IMPROVING AND ENSURING THAT WE STAY INFORMED ABOUT THE FACT THAT ONE DAY WE WE DO LEAVE THIS EARTH, AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE UTILIZING OUR RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY, AND THAT WE ARE ALSO COGNIZANT OF THE WORLD AND THE EARTH IN WHICH WE LIVE IN.
AND SO I'M GOING TO TURN THAT OVER TO CHIEF BATES AND HIS TEAM DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT DEPUTY CHIEF MAJOR, A DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT NOW DINO HARRIS.
I'M HAPPY TO BRING TO YOU TODAY THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE RESOLUTION UPDATE FOR THE 2324 SCHOOL YEAR.
SO JUST TO KIND OF GROUND US IN THE WORK THE FEBRUARY 27TH, 2020, THIS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY PASSED THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE RESOLUTION KIND OF FORCING THE DISTRICT TO REALLY FOCUS ON REDUCING OUR CITY, THE CITY'S CARBON FOOTPRINT.
AND WITH THAT, WE FORMED A COMMITTEE AND CAME UP WITH GOALS THAT ANNUALLY WE REPORT TO THE BOARD.
SO WE'LL START WITH CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, THE GOALS THAT THEY HAD TO BE BUILD AND REMODEL ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS TO CHIPS AND LEED CERTIFICATION, THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND.
SO THAT'S WHY THEIR STOPLIGHT IS GREEN.
ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL, ONE ELEMENTARY AND ONE HIGH SCHOOL TO BE BUILT.
THIS ONE IS YELLOW. WE HAVE NOT BUILT A SCHOOL THAT IS NET ZERO.
SO IN THE FUTURE, IF A FUTURE BOND OR ANYTHING IF PRICES COME DOWN, WE CAN CONVERT EASILY.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT ONE IS YELLOW.
THE OTHER ONE IS ESTABLISHED PARTS PER BILLION LIMIT IN OUR WATER TESTING BY 2025.
SO IN 2020, WE IMPLEMENTED A GREAT PROCESS TO TEST ALL OF OUR FOUNTAINS CHANGE OUT OUR FOUNTAINS.
AND GOING NOW TOWARDS BOTTLE FILLERS.
[00:40:01]
IN ADDITION TO THAT, REPLACING TESTING THE WATER EACH SUMMER AND REPLACING THE WATER FOUNTAIN FILTERS AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.THE NEXT SLIDE IS FOOD AND CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES, A RECYCLING PROGRAM, 100% AND THEN 50% DIVERSION FROM OUR LANDFILLS BY 2025 AND 75 BY 2030 TO DATE, WE HAVE A RECYCLE BIN AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES.
AND MISTER SHAW WORKS WITH NOT ONLY THE TEACHERS, BUT STUDENTS AT THE CAMPUSES ON RECYCLING PROGRAMS. IT IS YELLOW BECAUSE OUR DIVERSION RATE TODAY IS 21.4, AND WE NEED TO GET TO 50% BY 2025.
100% OF COMPOST COMPOSTABLE PLATES, TRASH BAGS AND UTENSILS BY 2027.
WE IT DOESN'T MAKE FINANCIAL SENSE FOR US TO BUY THEM AT THIS TIME, BUT WE HAVE HAD SOME INITIATIVES IN 2024 OF NO PLASTIC LUNCHES, WHICH HAS BEEN A SUCCESS.
WE ACTUALLY DID IT IN NOVEMBER AS WELL.
WE HIT THIS ONE OUT OF THE PARK.
MISS SHAW GOT A GRANT FOR ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSSES, WHICH IS BOARD APPROVED THE RFP.
WE PURCHASED THEM AND THEY WILL BE HERE IN OCTOBER.
THE BOARD ALSO APPROVED THE RENOVATION OF OUR BUS BARNS.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, A CYCLE TWO GRANT FOR.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT ONE IS GREEN.
THE GROUNDS DEPARTMENT IS TO UTILIZE NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE PLANTS FOR LANDSCAPING PROJECTS BY 2030.
WE REPLACE THEM WITH THESE NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE TREES.
WE ALSO HAVE A 20% CANOPY COVERAGE.
BY THE YEAR 2030, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A HUGE SPIKE IN THIS.
WE HAVE A HOW WE CALCULATE THE CANOPY COVERAGE.
THERE'S A LOT OF OLDER TREES, MATURE TREES WITH THESE RENOVATIONS AND NEW BUILDS.
I FEEL LIKE WE'LL STAY AROUND 13 TO 15% FOR THE NEXT 4 OR 5, MAYBE SIX YEARS UNTIL THESE NEW TREES MATURE, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A GREAT SPIKE MOVE AWAY FROM GAS POWERED MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT AGAIN, THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT.
THE CITY WAS GOING TOWARDS THIS ACROSS THE CITY, BUT THAT THAT DID NOT PASS.
WE STILL ARE COMMITTED TO PILOTING THIS WITH ONE TRUCK, ONE TRAILER, ONE ELECTRIC TRACTOR, ONE ELECTRIC LEAF BLOWER, WEED EATER, SO ON AND SO FORTH. JUST TO SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK, HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO LAST.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 3485 ACRES TO CUT.
SO WE'RE STILL KIND OF IN THAT PILOT PHASE.
AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN THE NEXT SLIDES OVER TO MR. SHAW. THANK YOU CHIEF.
GOOD AFTERNOON, TRUSTEES DOCTOR ELIZALDE.
SO GOALS 20% LOWER WATER USE INTENSITY FOR EACH FACILITY BY JUNE 2030.
THIS IS PROBABLY OUR MOST CHALLENGING GOAL REGARDING UTILITIES TO DATE.
WE'VE DECREASED THAT WATER USE INTENSITY BY 9.5% FROM THE 2015 BASELINE CUSTODIAL CERTIFICATION FOR GREEN CLEANING.
WE HAVE TRAINED 943 CUSTODIANS TO DATE ON GREEN CLEANING PRACTICES.
AGAIN, THIS IS YELLOW BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT FULLY DEVELOPED THE POLICY.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE DONE SOME EXTRA TRAINING WITH CUSTODIAL SERVICES AND SPRAY AND SPRAY DISINFECTANT PROGRAM AND THE INTRODUCTION OF UVC LIGHTING DISINFECTANT.
WE'RE PROUD TO SAY IN TERMS OF ENERGY THAT WE CONTINUE TO STAND RIGHT AT AND HOVER ABOVE A
[00:45:03]
97% REDUCTION IN OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM ENERGY.THIS WE'VE MAINTAINED THIS SINCE 2020.
TOTAL SAVINGS SINCE MAY OF 2020 $19.8 MILLION AWARDS TOTALING $64,000 FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE SUMMER OF 2023 ALONE.
REDUCTION OF NATURAL GAS BY 50% BY 2030.
NATURAL GAS REDUCTION AT THIS POINT IS 27.5% BELOW THE BASELINE 2015 BASELINE, AND THAT IS A YELLOW STOPLIGHT. REDUCE ENERGY, USE INTENSITY AND ACHIEVE EPA ENERGY STAR BUILDING CERTIFICATIONS BY 2030.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON OUR EPA PORTFOLIO MANAGER, WHICH WOULD CONNECT US TO THE EPA ENERGY STAR BUILDING CERTIFICATION, BUT WE DO HAVE A 32.1% DECREASE IN ENERGY USE INTENSITY FROM THE BASELINE OF 2015.
AGAIN, WE TRY TO KEEP UP WITH OUR OUR OUR EMISSIONS AVOIDED EQUIVALENT EQUIVALENCIES FROM JUNE OF 2020 TO THE TO FEBRUARY OF 2024.
TO DATE, OR AS OF FEBRUARY, 166,000 GASOLINE POWERED VEHICLES NOT DRIVEN FOR ONE YEAR OVER THIS SPACE OF TIME, 770 MILLION POUNDS OF COAL NOT BURNED OVER THIS SPACE OF TIME, AND 11,558,000 TREE SEEDLINGS GROWN FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS OVER THIS SPACE OF TIME.
AND I BELIEVE WE'D OPEN FOR QUESTIONS.
YEP. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN. SO I JUST EXCUSE ME.
HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND IT'S ON THE SLIDE EIGHT ABOUT THE GAS POWERED VEHICLES NOT DRIVEN OR THOSE BUSSES OR THOSE CARS. THAT INCLUDES.
THAT INCLUDES CARS AND BUSSES.
YES, MA'AM. SO COULD WE GET A BREAKDOWN ON THE NUMBER OF BUSSES THAT ARE NOT BEING DRIVEN AS OPPOSED TO THE NUMBER OF CARS? THIS THIS IS AN EPA EQUIVALENCY.
SO WE CAN BREAK THAT DOWN BASED ON THE EPA ALGORITHMS. THE ONLY REASON I SAY THAT IS, IS THAT WE KNOW THE EMISSIONS FROM A BUS IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THE EMISSIONS FROM A CAR.
RIGHT. AND SO JUST GIVE ME GIVING ME THAT NUMBER DOESN'T REALLY SAY WHAT WE'RE REALLY SAYING.
THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS. EVERY YEAR IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THE PROGRESS.
IN FACT, THIS ENTIRE RESOLUTION CAME FROM DALLAS ISD STUDENTS, SO IT'S EXCITING TO DO THAT.
IN THAT VEIN, HAVE YOU ALL HAD ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS AROUND SOME OF THIS WORK, AND IF SO, WHAT'S THAT RESPONSE AND HOW ARE STUDENTS FILTERING INTO SUPPORTING THIS WORK AT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? THANK YOU, TRUSTEE, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT.
MR. SHAW DOES WORK WITH CLASSES ACROSS THE DISTRICT, BUT WHEN WE FORMED THE COMMITTEE, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE THAT WAS APPOINTED BY EACH TRUSTEE AND WE PUT THESE GOALS TOGETHER.
WE WERE JUST TALKING THE OTHER DAY.
WE FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME TO REVISIT THE GOALS, BUT MAYBE THROUGH A STUDENT LENS.
SO. YES, SIR, THAT'D BE AWESOME.
AND I THINK ALSO YOU HIGHLIGHTED IT IN IT KIND OF WAS BURIED IN THERE IN THE ENERGY, RENEWABLE ENERGY THAT THIS IS NOT WE'RE SPENDING A BUNCH OF MONEY THAT COULD OTHERWISE GO TO KIDS.
THIS IS ACTUALLY SAVING US MONEY IN JUST BEING MORE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT HOW WE DO THIS WORK.
AND SO I'M READING THIS SINCE MAY 2020.
THAT'S 20 NEARLY $20 MILLION THAT CAN GO BACK INTO STAFF ALLOCATIONS, READING INTERVENTIONISTS, ETC.
THAT WE AREN'T SPENDING ON AN ELECTRICAL BILL.
IS THAT ACCURATE? THAT IS ACCURATE. WE'RE SUPER PROUD OF THIS BECAUSE WE DID GO TO 100% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY CONTRACT, RIGHT? SO IF WE TOOK 2016 TO 2020, WHAT WE SPEND ON UTILITIES AND 2020 TO 2024, WE SAVE $19.8 MILLION WITH THIS CONTRACT.
AND IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT IF WE DECREASED OUR WATER USAGE? I THINK YOU SAID 9.5%.
[00:50:02]
I ASSUME OUR BILL WENT DOWN BY SOME AMOUNT, PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO 9.5%.YES. AND AND WE FEEL SO WHY? I LOVE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
THEY ARE USING A LOT OF WATER.
SO I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW, TOWARDS THE END OF THIS BOND THIS IS GOING TO DECREASE.
OH THAT THAT'S THAT EVEN GETS ONE OF MY OTHER QUESTIONS, WHICH IS LIKE DO WE ATTRIBUTE SOME OF THESE DECREASES LIKE THE 9.5% TO, YOU KNOW, NEWER, MORE WATER EFFICIENT THINGS, USAGE PATTERNS? SOUNDS LIKE CONSTRUCTION IS A BIG ONE.
CONSTRUCTION IS ESPECIALLY WITH OUR HVAC EQUIPMENT.
SEE, IF I MIGHT ADD THAT THAT IT'S ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE.
THOSE WERE LEAKING ALL THE TIME.
THAT'S BEING REPLACED UNDER THE NEW BOND.
EXCITED TO SEE THAT PILOT ROLL OUT.
ARE WE EXPLORING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES OR ARE THERE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO GET FUNDING OUT OF THE IRA? YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE A LOT OF TAX BENEFITS.
WE'RE A TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION.
I'M CURIOUS IF WE EXPLORED SOME OF THAT.
I MIGHT BE OFF ON THAT AS WELL.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, MR. SHAW IS WORKING WITH OUR CFO'S DEPARTMENT TO ESPECIALLY ON SOME OF THE REBATES AND THEN ADDITIONAL GRANTS LIKE THAT CYCLE TWO GRANT THE RELIANT RED PROGRAM THAT HE'S IN WHERE WE TURN DOWN IN THE SUMMERS AFTER 4:00 ON DAYS THAT ARE OVER SO MANY DEGREES WE SAVED, YOU KNOW, WE SAVED MONEY ON ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
LOOKING ACROSS THE I MEAN, WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE HERE IS OUTSTANDING.
AND I THINK IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE NATION, DALLAS IS ACTUALLY A LEADER IN THIS SPACE.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK.
TRUSTEE WHITE. I JUST HAVE A A QUESTION FROM COMING FROM SLIDE FOUR, WHICH WAS SPEAKING ABOUT I'M SORRY.
I KNOW WE, WE JUST GOT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BUSSES.
AND I THINK THAT SAME SOURCE IS GOING TO BE ALLOWING A SECOND ROUND.
WE ARE DOING FOR THAT SECOND ROUND.
AND AND I AM THANKFUL FOR FREE, BUT THERE'S WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO AS FAR AS GETTING READY? I KNOW I HEARD THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS THAT ARE BEING PUT IN AT LAWNVIEW.
AND I KNOW WE'RE WHICH I'M TOTALLY FOR AS FAR AS LEAVING AS SMALL OF A TO CHANGE OVER TO GREEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING WHEN IT COMES TO.
AND THIS MAY BE NEW BECAUSE IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN OUT ON THE MARKET THAT LONG.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY THINK TESLA IS THE FIRST ELECTRIC CAR? NO, IT REALLY WASN'T.
THERE WAS OTHERS, AND THEY STILL ARE.
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO COST US IN MAINTENANCE AS FAR AS BATTERIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT? ARE WE LOOKING AT. I MEAN, I DON'T NEED AN ANSWER RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING, ARE WE LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE? FOR WHAT? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.
AGAIN, IT IS NEW, IT'S ELECTRIC.
SO THAT HELPS US DECOMMISSION SOME OF OUR OLDEST DIESEL BUSSES.
BUT THERE'S NEW TECHNOLOGY WE NEED TO BE TRAINED ON IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.
SO THERE'S A BATTERY AND AN AXLE AND WHEELS, AND WE JUST CHARGE THE BATTERY.
SO THERE'S NO INTERNAL COMBUSTION.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR OIL AND GAS THERE.
NO OIL CHANGES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO IN TERMS OF A REDUCTION IN COST OF MAINTENANCE, THERE WILL BE.
[00:55:04]
OKAY. AND AND I HEARD YOU SAY, MR. BATES, THAT WE'RE BUILDING SCHOOLS SO THAT WHEN, LET'S SAY IT COSTS $100 TO BUILD, BUT IT'LL COST $200 FOR IF WE WANTED EVERYTHING AS FAR AS GREEN ENERGY AND SAVINGS.YOU. I HEARD YOU SAY WE'RE BUILDING IT SO THAT IT CAN BE EXPANDED UPON LATER.
HOW DOES THAT LOOK? SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST NOT COST EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OUR ENERGY CONTRACT IS SO BENEFICIAL TO THE DISTRICT.
SO IF WE'RE SAVING ON ANNUALLY, RIGHT ON OUR ELECTRIC CONTRACT, ABOUT $1.5 MILLION A YEAR TO BUILD THE SCHOOL NET ZERO, WE'D SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE CONSTRUCTION THAN IT WOULD HELP US, BY SAVING MONEY, BY GOING NET ZERO AND JUST KEEPING OUR ELECTRIC CONTRACT NOW BY 2030, IF IT'S NOT BENEFICIAL FOR US TO CONTINUE WITH THE RENEWABLE ENERGY OR ELECTRICITY, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE IT WILL BE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, MAKING THESE CAMPUSES NET ZERO READY WOULD BE A CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE.
HOW MANY DO WE TURN OVER TO BE NET ZERO? AND HOW WOULD THAT THEN EVEN OUT WHAT WE WERE SAVING ON OUR CONTRACT? AND HOW DOES IT LOOK BASICALLY TO TURN A CAMPUS TOTALLY TO NET ZERO AND AND NET ZERO.
THAT MEANS WE'RE NOT USING ANY COAL BASED ENERGY, WE'RE JUST USING ALL ELECTRIC OR HOW DOES AND AS FAR AS THE CONVERSION I MEAN, BECAUSE NORMALLY, LIKE IF YOU WERE IN WITHIN, LET'S SAY A HOME THAT HAS GAS, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO GO AND PUT IN, I THINK IT'S A 220 PLUG IN ORDER TO HAVE AN ELECTRIC WITH THE STOVE.
SO HOW WOULD THAT LOOK WITH OUR BUILDINGS? YEAH, I'M I'M NOT 100% YOU KNOW, SURE.
BUT I DO KNOW IT WOULD BE THE BUILDING ITSELF.
YEAH. AND SO SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF.
IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT REALLY ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO WE'RE PUTTING IN ADDITIONAL CONDUITS.
SO THE BUILDING WOULD HAVE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF AS MUCH ENERGY AS IT PUTS OUT.
IT ALSO HAS TO AFTER CONSUMES IT WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE.
SO SOMETHING LIKE SOLAR PANELS.
RIGHT. WE'LL SWITCH OUR ELECTRICAL OVER.
WE'LL PUT SOLAR PANELS AND THAT'S GOING TO THAT SAME SWITCHGEAR.
BUT YOU PUT AN INVERTER AND THEN ALL YOUR POWER WOULD.
THE FROM INSIDE OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY ONCOR.
MAKES SENSE. YES, YES, I CAN SEE IT.
TRUSTEE CARREÓN. THANK YOU FOR THIS UPDATE.
FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT TRUSTEE MACKEY MENTIONED, WE'RE BEING PLANET FRIENDLY.
SO JUST REALLY POSITIVE WORK ALL THE WAY AROUND.
I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS OR JUST, I THINK SOME POINTS WHERE I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION.
THE GOAL SURROUNDING JUST PARTS PER BILLION LIMIT ON LEAD AND WATER.
HELP ME UNDERSTAND, I GUESS THE UPDATE A LITTLE BIT, OR HAVE WE ALREADY COMPLETED REPLACING ALL UNITS WITH LEAD FREE FILTERS? ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF THAT OR ARE WE.
YES. AND THE ONES THAT WE SHUT BUBBLERS OFF, REPLACE WITH TRADITIONAL WATER FOUNTAIN.
WELL, NOT TRADITIONAL, BUT THE NEWER WATER FOUNTAINS WITH THE FILTERS.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO BOTTLE FILLERS, MORE BOTTLE FILLERS AT THE SCHOOL.
THEN WE THEN TEST THEM AND CHANGE OUT THE FILTERS.
OKAY. AND THIS IS JUST MAYBE NO ONE HERE KNOWS THIS QUESTION, BUT LET A LEAD FREE FILTER.
IS THAT A ZERO PARTS PER BILLION LEAD LEVEL OR IS IT IS THAT THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S GREAT.
SLIDE FIVE. I'M A BIG FAN OF OUR CANOPY.
[01:00:04]
GOAL! WE MIGHT HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP LAST TIME THIS UPDATE CAME THROUGH, BUT JUST I KNOW WE HAVE A I GUESS WE HAVE A GOAL, AND WE'RE REALLY TAKING SPECIFIC KIND OF INITIATIVES SURROUNDING INCREASING OUR CANOPY IN IN AREAS WHERE WE HAVE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ALSO IN AREAS WHERE WE HAVE MAJOR RENOVATIONS, WHICH IS, IN TRUTH, MOST OF OUR CAMPUSES.RIGHT. BUT I GUESS I, I WANT TO HEAR FROM, FROM THE TEAM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR PLAN AROUND INCREASING CANOPY COVER ON CAMPUSES THAT THAT ARE NOT NEW CONSTRUCTIONS OR DON'T HAVE MAJOR RENOVATIONS.
DO WE HAVE A A CANOPY PLAN FOR THOSE TYPE OF CAMPUSES? WE DO. SO AGAIN, THERE'S A CALCULATION THAT WE WE DO ON EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS.
RIGHT. AND WHEN THIS BOND IS OVER AND THESE TREES MATURE, IT'LL IT'LL BE 30%.
RIGHT. SO WE'LL, WE'LL BEAT THAT.
THE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE HAD CONSTRUCTION IN THE PAST 28 BOND OR 15 BOND AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
THEN WE LOOK AT THOSE, THOSE THAT ARE UNDER 20, WE'RE ABLE TO UTILIZE PARTNERSHIPS LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR PARTNERS THAT THAT COME IN TEXAS TREES FOUNDATION, YOU KNOW, THE MAVERICKS COOL SCHOOLS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AWESOME. IT'S GREAT TO HEAR. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THIS. YEAH, I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS ON SLIDE SIX AROUND THE WORK DONE TO DECREASE WATER USAGE IN IN PRACTICE ON A CAMPUS LEVEL.
WHAT WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE BIG THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ON CAMPUSES TO TO DECREASE THE USE OF WATER? YEAH. THIS ONE'S HARD BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND AND THEY DO USE A LOT, A LOT OF WATER.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO OUR IRRIGATION, LIKE THIS MONTH, MR. SHAW TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, LIKE THIS MONTH, ZERO ON OUR IRRIGATION.
JUST BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SO MUCH RAIN.
RIGHT? SO RIGHT NOW IT'S A VERY MOVING TARGET.
BUT WE HAVE THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GETTING PUT IN.
BUT WHILE THEY'RE PUTTING IT IN, IT'S NOT SO MUCH.
OKAY, OKAY. SO SO ONE, ONE ONE THING IS WE'RE CONSCIOUS OF THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL IN A GIVEN MONTH.
SO WE PULL BACK ON ON IRRIGATION IS BECAUSE THAT'S CLOSELY MONITORED.
FIXTURES. OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL.
NOTHING FURTHER. THANKS. THANK YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSCORE WELL, A COUPLE OF THINGS TRUSTEE MACKEY SAID.
FIRST, THANK YOU FOR FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THIS.
I WAS ALSO NOTICING THAT THE THE LEAD WAS BURIED, THAT IN TERMS OF WRITING THE MAKING THE PRESENTATION, THAT THE FACT THAT WE'VE SAVED THAT MUCH MONEY BY DOING THIS ENVIRONMENTAL RESOLUTION, I MEAN, HAS REALLY IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE, WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE.
AND I SORT OF LIKE THE TAKEAWAY SLIDE THAT WE HAD IN THE IN THE PRIOR PRESENTATION ON A LOCAL THAT AT THE VERY BOTTOM, YOU KNOW, IF WE, IF WE OR AT THE TOP JUST BE ABLE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE REDUCED OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT BY X, WE'VE SAVED THIS MUCH MONEY AND YOU KNOW, WHATEVER ELSE THE, THE, THE SORT OF BOTTOM LINE TAKEAWAYS ARE THAT WE CAN, WE CAN PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT DOING THINGS THAT ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE THREE TIMES THE COST OF WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF IF YOU DIDN'T TAKE THAT APPROACH.
SO SO I WOULD I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO IN A HUB STORY TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT WE ARE WE ARE SAVING MONEY AND WE ARE HELPING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT. ALL RIGHT.
ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS SEVEN B OF THE AGENDA.
2425. SO AS OUR CHIEFS OF FINANCIAL, AS OUR CHIEFS OF OUR FINANCIAL OFFICE AND OUR HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OFFICE COME UP TO THE TABLE.
I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD AGAIN FOR HELPING US AS WE HAD OUR SERIES OF FIVE COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSIONS ALONG WITH OUR BOARD WORK SESSION LAST WEEK.
AND SO NOW IS OUR RUN AT OUR FIRST DRAFT OF THE ACTUAL PROPOSED BUDGET.
AND SO I WILL TURN THAT OVER TO DOCTOR ALFRED STEVENS AND TO CHIEF ABEL.
[01:05:07]
AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH OUR 2024 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET.AND AS REQUIRED, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A SECOND IF YOU WILL, A SECOND READ.
IT'S A REQUIRED SECOND READ, AND THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST.
SO IT WILL ALSO BE AGAIN OPPORTUNITY STILL FOR US TO LISTEN TODAY SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN COME BACK AND MAY AGAIN THE PROPOSED BUDGET COMES FORWARD AGAIN.
DOCTOR ELIZALDE LET ME FIRST BEGIN BY SAYING THAT OR TO REITERATE WHAT DOCTOR ELIZALDE JUST MENTIONED AS IT RELATES TO THIS IS OUR FIRST PROPOSED DRAFT OF OUR 2425 BUDGET.
AND SO IT'S ANCHORED IN SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TO IMPROVE THOSE FIVE GOALS.
SOME OF THE ASSUMPTIONS I JUST WANT TO SHARE, JUST SOME SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE LAST TIME WE HAD THE DISCUSSION AT THE BOARD BUDGET WORKSHOP LAST WEEK.
AT THAT TIME, WE SHARED THAT OUR PROJECTED NO TAX RATE WAS JUST SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE NUMBER THAT YOU SEE THERE, WHICH IS 0.7552, MAKING OUR TOTAL PROJECTED TAX RATE JUST UNDER A DOLLAR AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, IT WAS LIKE $1 AND 0.01 CENTS.
AND SO AS WE CONTINUE TO GET NEW INFORMATION AND GET OUR CERTIFIED VALUES, WHICH COME IN LATER, THERE COULD BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS STILL BEING MADE UP UNTIL OF COURSE, WE PROPOSE A BUDGET. SO JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT THAT IS JUST A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE SLIDE DECK THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU ALL AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.
SO THOSE ARE OUR ASSUMPTIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE TAX RATES AND THE PROJECTED REVENUE.
SO THAT REMAINS UNCHANGED AS IT RELATES TO OUR PROJECTED REVENUE.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE 2324 CURRENT REVENUE PROJECTION IS YOU CAN SEE THAT ABOUT 86% OF THE REVENUE THAT WE GENERATE IS ON THE LOCAL SIDE, MEANING THE TAX RATE THAT WE LEVY AND THE STATE PROVIDES US ABOUT 10%.
AND SO AS WE'RE PREPARING FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THAT LOCAL HAS GONE DOWN SOME AGAIN AS A REFLECTION OF PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND TAX COMPRESSION.
AND THE STATE REVENUE HAS GONE UP SLIGHTLY.
SO YOU'LL SEE STILL THE WHAT I SAY IS THE CUP IS STILL THE CUP.
IT'S JUST BEEN SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN LOCAL AND STATE.
AND YOU CAN SEE ALSO THERE'S A SLIGHT DECLINE IN OUR PROJECTED FEDERAL REVENUE.
SO FROM AN OVERALL REVENUE PERSPECTIVE, YOU'LL SEE HERE THREE YEARS, THE FIRST YEAR, THE FAR LEFT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT OUR ACTUALS WERE WHEN WE CLOSED OUT THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR.
SO WE ENDED THE 23, 23, 22, 23 SCHOOL YEAR WITH REVENUE OF JUST ABOVE $1.8 BILLION.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE THE MAKEUP OF THAT REVENUE BETWEEN LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL.
AND AGAIN, THAT'S THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THE ADOPTED BUDGET THAT TOOK PLACE LAST JUNE.
THOSE ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE BEFORE WE PREPARE TO CLOSE OUT THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, AS WE'RE BUILDING OUR CURRENT BUDGET, YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT OUR PROJECTED REVENUE IS ABOUT 1.7 BILLION, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR LOCAL REVENUE IS PROJECTED TO BE DOWN ABOUT 12%.
AND OUR FEDERAL I'M SORRY, OUR STATE REVENUE IS PROJECTED TO BE UP SOME.
AND THEN OVERALL FEDERAL REVENUE PROJECTED TO BE DOWN AGAIN, ABOUT JUST OVER 12%.
SO OVERALL YOU'LL SEE THE NET IMPACT.
OF OUR REVENUE PROJECTION WHEN COMPARED TO OUR CURRENT REVENUE BEING ABOUT JUST UNDER 7%.
SO HOW DOES THAT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OUR REVENUE.
AND THEN LET ME TRANSITION NOW TO EXPENDITURES AND WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET.
YOU'VE HEARD US MENTION BEFORE THAT PAYROLL IS A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF OUR BUDGET.
AND IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET RIGHT NOW, JUST OVER 70% IS PAYROLL.
[01:10:06]
IT IS GOING TO BE LOWER THAN WHAT WE PROJECTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET YEAR.THAT CONTRACT WITH THE STATE IS CAPTURED THERE, AS WE'RE FORECASTING FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR.
ALSO, IF WE LOOK AT OUR PROJECTED BUDGET BY FUNCTION, AGAIN, YOU HAVE THREE YEARS HERE.
YOU'LL SEE FOR THE 2223 YEAR THAT FIRST COLUMN BY FUNCTION.
THAT'S WHAT WE ACTUALLY SPENT.
THOSE ARE OUR AUDITED FINANCIALS FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR.
BUT JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE, WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THOSE ARE OUR ACTUALS.
AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE COLUMN OR THE SECOND COLUMN, I SHOULD SAY YOU'LL SEE THE 2324 BUDGET AS IS CURRENTLY, WHICH IS JUST OVER $2 BILLION. AND YOU'LL SEE EACH OF THOSE BUDGET ITEMS BY FUNCTION.
PLEASE NOTE IF YOU GO DOWN TO FUNCTION 91 WHERE IT SAYS WATER PURCHASE, THAT'S ONE OF THE NUMBERS WE KNOW WE WILL BE MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT TO SHORTLY, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT OUR PROJECTED RECAPTURE PAYMENT IS NO LONGER $223 MILLION.
INITIALLY WE WERE FORECASTING ABOUT 75 FOR 2425, BUT OUR TAX RATE HAS GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
SO NOW WE'RE FORECASTING ABOUT 60 MILLION FOR OUR RECAPTURE PAYMENT IN THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR.
SO THAT'S A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT AS WELL.
IF YOU GO BACK UP I WANT TO START WITH FUNCTION 11 AND JUST HIGHLIGHT A FEW THINGS AND SHARE A FEW REMINDERS WHEN WE TALKED OR WHEN WE WHEN I PRESENTED INFORMATION AT OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP, WE BROUGHT FORTH SOME CONSIDERATIONS.
AND THOSE CONSIDERATIONS OF COURSE, WERE ACROSS FIVE DIFFERENT BUCKETS.
AND ONE OF THOSE BUCKETS WAS TIER ONE SUPPORT, OF COURSE.
AND IT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL WOULD INCLUDE COMPENSATION INCREASES.
SO THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ARE REFLECTIVE OF THE NET IMPACT OF REDUCTIONS THAT WE HAVE MADE, OR CHANGES THAT WE HAVE MADE, CUTS THAT WE HAVE MADE, IN ADDITION TO THE PROPOSED COMPENSATION INCREASES THAT CHIEF ABEL WILL SHARE IN A MOMENT, BUT IS ALSO REFLECTIVE OF THE ESSER PIECES THAT WE HAVE ALSO THAT WE ALSO WANT TO SUSTAIN.
THERE'S ABOUT $73 MILLION IN ESSER PROPOSED ACTIVITIES.
SO FUNCTION YOU'LL SEE FUNCTION 12.
JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THERE WE ARE BRINGING BACK LIBRARIANS.
THAT 38% IS REFLECTIVE OF ABOUT 87 FTES THAT ARE LIBRARIANS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT I'M JUST GOING TO NOTE A FEW BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND OF STICKING OUT.
IF YOU LOOK AT FUNCTION 31, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S A 351% INCREASE THERE.
AND IN FUNCTION 41, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ADDING OUR 44 MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS.
AND THEN IF YOU GO DOWN TO FUNCTION.
AND I WANT TO GO BACK UP TO ONE MORE, WHICH IS FUNCTION 31.
I'M SORRY, I DID FUNCTION 31 ALREADY.
I'M SORRY, FUNCTION 32, WHICH ALSO SHOWS AN INCREASE.
THAT TO NOTE, YOU SEE THE I STARTED WITH RECAPTURE AND YOU'LL SEE THE RECAPTURE REDUCTION THERE.
AND THEN ALSO OVERALL YOU'LL SEE THAT THE PROJECTED BUDGET THAT WE HAVE PREPARED AT THIS TIME REFLECTS A 7.1% DECREASE IN COMPARISON TO THIS CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LINE AS IT RELATES TO TOTAL EXPENDITURES, YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR 2425, WE ARE PROPOSING A BUDGET OF $1.8 BILLION. YOU'LL SEE THAT.
[01:15:02]
AND IN THE NEXT COLUMN, THE RED NUMBER, YOU'LL SEE $143,757,051.SO OVERALL, WHEN WE LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE FROM A PROJECTED REVENUE STANDPOINT IN COMPARISON TO OUR PROJECTED BUDGET, AGAIN, THIS NUMBER WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT AS WE MAKE A FINAL RECOMMENDATION FOR THE BUDGET UPDATE.
THERE ARE STILL SOME CENTRAL STAFF REDUCTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR.
WE WILL HAVE THAT IN OUR NEXT DRAFT OF THE PROPOSAL.
AND SO WE'VE NOW INCLUDED THOSE.
SO WE'VE SINCE MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE COMING OVER FROM ESSER.
ALSO, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BOARD HAS THREE BUDGETS THAT IT IS REQUIRED TO ADOPT.
THEN OF COURSE, THERE'S THE FOOD SERVICE FUND.
YOU'LL SEE THE PROPOSED BUDGET, AND THE FOOD SERVICE FUND IS JUST OVER 117 MILLION.
AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET MATCHES THE PROPOSED REVENUE.
SO IN ESSENCE IT IS A THE BUDGET IS BALANCED.
THERE IS NO FUND BALANCE USAGE OR NO DEFICIT.
IT'S A THEY ARE PROPOSING OR WE ARE PROPOSING A BALANCED BUDGET FOR FOOD SERVICE.
AND THEN ON THE DEBT SERVICE SIDE, AGAIN, THE THIRD BUDGET THAT THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO ADOPT THIS BUDGET IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT THAT WE LEVY ON OUR INS TAX RATE SIDE, AND IT IS ALSO BUILT SO THAT THE AMOUNT THAT IS GENERATED IS TO DIRECTLY PAY OUR PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON OUR BOND PAYMENTS. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THAT BUDGET REFLECTS.
SO THE REVENUE GOES DIRECTLY TO OUR BOND PAYMENTS.
SO THOSE ARE THE THREE BUDGETS.
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS IN A MOMENT.
I'LL LET CHIEF ABEL ADD THE COMPENSATION PIECE AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK FOR THE FIRST ROUND.
PERFECT. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORWARD TODAY.
YOU KNOW, AS WE MENTIONED YOU KNOW, WE ARE A PEOPLE BUSINESS.
SO PAYROLL DOES COME INTO ALL OF OUR BUDGET DISCUSSIONS.
OVERALL, DALLAS ISD KIND OF HAS A FOUR TIERED COMPONENT OR STRATEGY FOR OUR COMPENSATION MODELS.
THE FIRST IS MARKET COMPETITIVE SALARIES, AND THAT'S FOR ALL OF OUR POSITIONS.
THE SECOND ONE IS TO ADVANCE OUR EQUITY.
THAT'S OUR MINIMUM WAGE FOR DALLAS ISD.
WE CURRENTLY LEAD ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE AREA.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT FORWARD TO HELP TRY TO PROVIDE A LIVING WAGE.
WE'RE CURRENTLY AT $16 FOR OUR MINIMUM WAGE.
WE WANT TO PROPOSE MOVING THAT TO 1650.
THAT'S GOING TO DIRECTLY IMPACT AROUND 3700 OF OUR SUPPORT AND OPERATIONS STAFF.
AND A KEY POINT OF THAT, THAT IS THE THAT'S THE STARTING WAGE.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO LEAD THE MARKET IN THOSE POSITIONS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO LEAD THE MARKET IN THOSE AREAS.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER, LAST YEAR Y'ALL DID APPROVE AROUND $4 MILLION A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE 4.1 OR $4.2 MILLION FOR US TO EXPAND THAT HPC ELIGIBLE STIPEND TO TO PROFICIENT ONE, TO TRY TO INCENTIVIZE AND RETAIN PROFICIENT ONE TEACHERS THAT ARE HPC STIPEND.
WE WOULD LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE THAT EXPANSION FOR THAT STIPEND GOING FORWARD.
NEXT AT A HIGH LEVEL YOU CAN SEE HERE ARE THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PAY RAISES WOULD BE AROUND $34 MILLION.
AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ESTIMATES.
THINGS WILL CHANGE OBVIOUSLY, AS PEOPLE IN POSITIONS CHANGE AND MODIFY.
OVERALL FOR THE TEACHERS OF THAT, WITH ABOUT $19.5 MILLION WOULD BE FOR OUR TEACHERS.
AND THEN 4.1 MILLION WOULD BE FOR OUR PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS.
[01:20:03]
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESS THAT TO MAKE SURE WE STAY MARKET COMPETITIVE.WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THOSE RESOURCES AND THAT TALENT AND OUR LEADERSHIP PIPELINE.
WE MAKE SURE THAT ANY OF THESE INITIATIVES, WE DON'T WANT TO PUNISH THEM BY HAVING ONE OR THE OTHER.
SO IT WOULD BE 1650 OR COMPRESSION OR 2% OF THAT MIDPOINT, WHICHEVER ONE WOULD FAVOR THE EMPLOYEE.
AND THAT TOTAL COST IS AROUND $10.4 MILLION FOR A TOTAL COST OF $34 MILLION.
THESE ARE JUST SOME GENERAL SAMPLES.
OVERALL AVERAGES, ON AVERAGE, OUR TEACHERS WOULD GET ABOUT A 3.5% RAISE FROM THIS.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE DIFFERENT POSITIONS ARE LISTED THERE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, LIKE OUR FOOD SERVICE ASSISTANT WOULD BE AROUND TWO AND A HALF WITH OUR COOKS GETTING ABOUT 2.5%.
OVERALL AVERAGE RAISES CUSTODIANS WOULD BE ABOUT 2.8%.
AND AGAIN, THESE ARE A RESULT OF THAT COMPRESSION OF THE OF THE 1650 INITIATIVE.
YOU CAN SEE THOSE RAISES THERE AS WELL.
NEXT AT THE AT THE WORKSHOP, WE HAD ASKED TO PROVIDE THE ACTUAL SCALES.
TODAY. THIS IS OUR PROPOSED TI COMPENSATION SCALES GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.
AND THAT'S ALSO OUR NEW TEACHER HIRE SCALE.
WE'RE PROPOSING WE'D MOVE THE STARTING PAY FOR ZERO TEACHERS, ZERO YEAR TEACHERS COMING IN.
AND THEN THAT WAS I'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS.
TRUSTEE WHITE. I THIS IS FOR CHIEF ABLE.
CAN GOING BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER, I THINK IT'S 12.
YOU MENTIONED THAT OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ARE KIND OF BEHIND MARKET LEVEL.
CURRENTLY, WHAT IS THE CURRENT MARKET LEVEL AND HOW FAR ARE WE BEHIND? YEAH, I CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.
IT'S GOING TO BE EACH BY EACH LEVEL.
SO ELEMENTARY WOULD BE ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL WOULD BE SOMETHING SEPARATE.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, AGAIN, THAT WE WERE PAYING THEM THAT COMPETITIVE WAGE.
AND THAT'S PART OF OUR ANNUAL PROCESS.
OKAY. AND ALSO, DO THEY RECEIVE BONUSES AS WELL? WE THEY WOULD THEY WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE ESSER FUNDED RETENTION INCENTIVE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT GOING FORWARD.
THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE BASED PAID BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE.
THANK YOU. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS AND I'LL START ON PAGE FIVE.
AND THE FIRST I GUESS ASSUMPTION IS ON THE LOCAL REVENUE.
AND WHAT? MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND IF OUR TAX BASE HAS GROWN.
HOW WOULD WE BE AT A $190 MILLION DEFICIT? SO THE TAX BASE HAS GROWN, BUT THE TAX RATE HAS DECREASED.
SO IF YOU'RE REMEMBER, PRIOR TO PROPERTY TAX RELIEF, OUR NO TAX RATE ALONE WAS ABOUT $0.94.
THE REQUIRED LAW HAS NOW COMPRESSED THAT TAX RATE DOWN TO $0.76.
SO WE'RE GENERATING LESS EVEN THOUGH OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE INCREASING.
BUT THE RATE AT WHICH WE CAN TAX THOSE DOLLARS OR TAX THOSE VALUES IS DECREASING OR HAS DECREASED.
AND WHAT WAS IT FOR THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR? WHAT WAS THE TAX RATE.
FOR THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR, THE M AND O OR THE TOTAL TAX RATE, THE NO.
EXCUSE ME. AND NOW I'M ON PAGE SIX.
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND I'LL START WITH SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS.
NOW OUR STUDENT POPULATION HAS DECREASED, BUT OUR SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS COST HAS INCREASED.
[01:25:02]
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME? SO ONE OF THE DRIVERS FOR THE INCREASE IN SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS THE HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR THIS YEAR OR THE UPCOMING YEAR, I SHOULD SAY, IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 21 MILLION.THAT WAS ON THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE SHARED AT THE WORKSHOP.
AND SO PREVIOUSLY WE WERE USING WE WERE LEVERAGING ESSER DOLLARS TO HELP WITH THAT IMPLEMENTATION.
AND NOW THAT'S COMING OVER TO THE GENERAL OPERATING.
OKAY. IF YOU CAN THINK OF SOME OTHERS, I'D LIKE TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING WITH LESS STUDENTS.
MORE MONEY JUST DOESN'T JIVE VERY WELL.
BUT IF I COULD ADD, I WANT TO REITERATE, THERE ARE $263 MILLION THAT WERE BEING SPENT IN ESSER.
WE NOW HAD TO MAKE CHOICES OF THAT 263 TO COME IN HERE, AND SO THEY WILL FALL WITHIN THESE CATEGORIES. SO MAYBE WE CAN TAKE THOSE SHEETS THAT WE HAD BEFORE THAT HAVE THOSE THAT WE PRESENTED AT THE WORKSHOP OKAY.
SO WE CAN SHOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING.
SO WHY WOULD THAT INCREASE EXIST.
AND THEN I'M ON PAGE SEVEN AND I'LL START WITH, OF COURSE, THE INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES AND MEDIA SERVICES.
I DON'T SEE HOW THOSE TWO ARE LUMPED TOGETHER, BUT I'LL TAKE THEM AS THEY ARE.
THERE IS AN INCREASE OF $6 MILLION.
DO WE UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS TAKING PLACE? YES. SO FOR FUNCTION 12, INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES AND MEDIA, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE BRINGING LIBRARIANS BACK TO OUR CAMPUSES. AND SO THERE ARE ABOUT 87 FTES OR LIBRARIANS THAT WILL BE OR INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL BE SERVING AS LIBRARIANS FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE AN INCREASE TO FUNCTION 12, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE LIBRARIANS ARE CODED.
IS THAT TOTAL COST FOR LIBRARIANS? 6 MILLION.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW, JUST SAY YOU'LL GET IT TO ME.
IT DOES INCLUDE LIBRARIANS, BUT I WILL GET YOU THE THE TOTAL COST FOR WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED THERE.
THEN THE NEXT ITEM IS INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP.
YES. SO FOR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP, AS AN EXAMPLE, WE HAVE POSITIONS THAT SUPPORT OUR RESET CENTERS THAT WERE ONCE AN ESSER.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME TUTORING POSITIONS LIKE A DYSLEXIA SUPPORT POSITION.
SO THESE ARE AREAS THAT WERE ONCE IN ESSER THAT WE ARE WANTING TO SUSTAIN.
AND I CAN GET YOU THAT BREAKDOWN AS WELL SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S MAKING UP THAT TOTAL.
THERE'S ANOTHER AREA WHERE YOU SAID WE WERE ALSO SUPPORTING RESET CENTERS.
CORRECT. SO THE RESET CENTERS THEY CROSS MORE THAN ONE FUNCTION BECAUSE IF THERE'S A MANAGER THAT'S A SEPARATE FUNCTION IN COMPARISON TO A COORDINATOR.
OKAY. COULD YOU BREAK THAT DOWN FOR ME? YES, MA'AM. THEN ON GUIDANCE, COUNSELING AND EVALUATION, THERE'S A $14 MILLION INCREASE.
IS THAT ALL STAFF, OR IS THAT SOMETHING ELSE? THE 11.9 IS COMING FROM COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS THAT WAS UNDER ESSER, AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL 3 MILLION THAT ARE COMING FROM THE EXPANSION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS.
THAT'S THE TOTAL OF 14 MILLION.
OKAY. BEFORE WE HAD ESSER WHERE DID COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS? COME IN THE BUDGET.
WHERE WERE THEY? WELL, FIRST IT WAS A MUCH SMALLER AMOUNT.
IT WAS. WHAT WERE THEY IN THE BUDGET? THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED IN GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING AND EVALUATION.
DOCTOR LUSK, WAS THAT AROUND $10 MILLION ADDITIONAL WAS ADDED TO THAT AMOUNT? OKAY, I'M MISSING THE POINT.
10 MILLION ADDITIONAL WAS ADDED TO WHAT AMOUNT TO THE ORIGINAL COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ORIGINALLY IN THIS IN GENERAL OPERATING IN GENERAL OPERATING. SO THERE WAS 10 MILLION THAT WERE COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDER EXPANSION THAT HAVE ALWAYS COME OUT OF ESSER BECAUSE WHEN THE BOARD APPROVED, THE
[01:30:04]
EXPANSION WAS DURING COVID AND WE HAD ESSER DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THAT.OKAY, I REMEMBER COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS LONG BEFORE ESSER.
AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH.
SO IN 2019, 2020, HOW MUCH DID WE PAY FOR COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS? YEAH, WE CAN PROVIDE 18 2019 HOW MUCH DID WE PAY FOR COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS AND WHAT FUND WAS THAT COMING OUT OF.
SO I'LL GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING.
IT'S ALL TITLE FOUR. I'LL MAKE SURE I GET IT FOR YOU.
LET'S MOVE ON DOWN TO GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
AND YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS MORE THAN ONCE IS IS THAT WE'VE LOST STUDENTS.
BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE 2022, 2023 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION, IT WAS 57 MILLION.
AND NOW WE'RE SAYING THAT WE ALTHOUGH WE'VE LOST THESE STUDENTS, WE WANT GENERAL ADMINISTRATION TO BE 61 MILLION OR THOSE ALL POSITIONS. SO I'M SORRY.
I'M GONNA LET YOU GO. AND JUST SO I CAN ADD SOME CLARITY THERE.
SO FOR 2223, IN FUNCTION 41, THAT 57.3 MILLION IS REFLECTIVE OF ACTUAL EXPENDITURES.
BUT THE ACTUAL BUDGET FOR THAT FUNCTION WAS 68 MILLION.
SO WE UNDER SPENT THAT FUNCTION THAT GOOD.
YES. AND SO IN COMPARISON TO 20 2223 BUDGET AND THE PROPOSED 2425 BUDGET, THAT'S A $7 MILLION DECREASE OVER THOSE TWO YEARS THAT WE'VE DECREASED FUNCTION 41 YOU'RE A FINANCIAL PERSON.
SO YOU SEE IT AS WE DECREASE IT.
I'M SEEING AS THAT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY THE DOLLAR SHOULD BE ON THE CAMPUSES.
AND IF WE DIDN'T SPEND MONEY FOR ADMINISTRATION I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
AND I TALKED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ABOUT IT.
AND I WANT TO SEE US CUT AS DEEP AS WE CAN.
AND I DON'T WANT JUST FTES, BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE USED PLACEHOLDERS FOR YEARS.
IT'S NOT JUST THIS SUPERINTENDENT.
WE'VE USED PLACEHOLDERS FOR YEARS WITH FTES AND KEPT THAT MONEY IN THE BUDGET.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE DO BETTER.
I THE SECURITY AND MONITORING SERVICES, THAT'S 52.
SO FIRST, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T LET YOU ASK YOUR QUESTION.
I KNOW WE HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT, SUPERINTENDENT, DO WE BELIEVE THAT THE STATE IS GOING TO GIVE US ADDITIONAL DOLLARS REGARDING SECURITY AND MONITORING? I KNOW YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, SO WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER IT? TRUSTEE FOREMAN? NO. AND SO THAT I KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT THAT.
I'M ALSO GLAD IN 61 THAT WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT MORE MONEY INTO COMMUNITY SERVICE.
I HOPE THAT THAT MEANS, SUPERINTENDENT, THAT WE WILL BE DOING MORE OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY, TO GET MORE COMMUNITY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO IT BY OURSELVES.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT PIECE.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN WE'LL HAVE TO SAVE THE NEXT FOR ROUND TWO.
YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.
SO IF WE CAN GO TO, FIRST OF ALL, SLIDE SEVEN.
THIS IS SHARING THAT LAST YEAR.
AND THIS IS FIRST OF ALL THIS IS LOCAL BUDGET.
THIS IS NOT ESSER OR GRANT FUNDING.
THIS IS GENERAL OPERATING ESSER OPERATING.
SO WE ADOPTED A $2 BILLION GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET LAST YEAR.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE CUTS COME FROM THE EXPECTED DECREASE FOR WATER PURCHASES.
[01:35:03]
RECAPTURE. YES. RECAPTURE.AND IF I DO THAT MATH AND SUBTRACT, THAT REALLY MEANS IF YOU TAKE WATER OUT OF IT, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY ADDING $20 MILLION ON THE OTHER FUNCTION, ACROSS THE OTHER FUNCTIONS, ACROSS THE OTHER FUNCTIONS.
OKAY. SO NOW IF WE THINK ABOUT FORGET WATER, THAT WILL IMPACT US NEXT YEAR.
THAT GIVES US THAT NICE LITTLE WINDFALL.
WE'VE ADDED 20 MILLION TO ALL OF THE OTHER FUNCTIONS ROUGHLY.
LAST YEAR, I HEARD YOU SAY WE HAD 236 MILLION SPENT ON ESSER IN THIS CURRENT YEAR.
IS THAT ACCURATE? 263 MILLION.
AND SO 20 FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, THAT IS CORRECT.
THAT'S GOING TO GO AWAY BECAUSE ESSER EXPIRES.
YES. AND SO INSTEAD OF THE 263 MILLION COMING BACK AND US FUNDING EVERYTHING WE WERE FUNDING THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE'RE ONLY ESSENTIALLY ADDING 20 MILLION OF THAT IF BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE EXPENSES, BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE THE NET IMPACT OF THE REDUCTIONS THAT WE'VE MADE, NOT JUST WATER, BUT THE OTHER, I SHOULDN'T SAY WATER RECAPTURE, THE OTHER REDUCTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY THE ESSER PROJECTED ACTIVITIES ARE VALUED AT $73 MILLION ALONE, JUST THOSE WE'RE BRINGING $73 MILLION WORTH OF ESSER, BUT THEN WE'RE CUTTING OTHER THINGS.
YES, I GOT YOU. OKAY, BUT THAT 263 MILLION IS GONE.
AND THEN IF WE CAN GO TO SLIDE FIVE, WHICH IS THE REVENUE.
AND SUPPOSEDLY WHAT THE STATE TOLD US IS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE UP, MAKE US WHOLE.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I WOULD PRESUME WE SEE AN INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE.
SO I WANT TO YES, THAT'S WHY WE SEE AN INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE.
BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE US WHOLE.
CORRECT. WE'RE STILL A RECAPTURE DISTRICT.
YES. SO IT MADE US WHOLE UP TO OUR CUP.
IT DIDN'T ADD ANY MORE TO OUR CUP.
OKAY. SO THIS STILL LEAVES US THOUGH.
RIGHT. AND IT'S LOWER ALSO BECAUSE WE HAVE STUDENT ENROLLMENT DECLINE, STUDENT ENROLLMENT DECLINE.
AND SO THEN DOING THE MATH, IT COMES OUT TO THAT 186, $87 MILLION DEFICIT THAT WE'RE ADOPTING NOW TO TRUSTEE FOREMAN'S QUESTION, WHICH WAS, SUPERINTENDENT, DO WE EXPECT THE STATE TO FUND THE SECURITY MANDATES? I BELIEVE OUR ANSWER WAS OUR GUESS IS NO.
BUT I WANT TO THINK ABOUT IN FUTURE YEARS AS WE WILL.
YOU KNOW, AS I SAID BEFORE, I EXPECT US.
I THINK WE SHOULD SPEND THE FUND BALANCE.
IT IS WE HAVE WAY TOO BEYOND OUR THREE YEAR OR THREE MONTHS.
IF WE COME NEXT YEAR AND WE'RE SITTING CLOSE TO THAT THREE MONTH, ARE WE ANTICIPATING MAKING CUTS OF ANOTHER $186 MILLION NEXT YEAR TO BRING US TO A CLOSER TO BALANCED BUDGET AND MAINTAIN THAT THREE MONTHS IF THE STATE IF ASSUMING THE STATE DOES NOTHING IS THAT OUR PLAN.
SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SOME DIFFERENT DECISIONS AND MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BECAUSE LIKE YOU JUST STATED, WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THREE MONTHS BECAUSE THAT'S IN OUR BOARD POLICY. AND SO IF OUR PROJECTIONS PUT US BEYOND THOSE THREE MONTHS, YES, WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT WE AT AT ANY RATE, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE THREE MONTHS AT A MINIMUM.
YEAH, BUT THAT WOULD IF NOTHING CHANGES THOUGH, WE ARE LOOKING POTENTIALLY AT PRETTY BIG CUTS NEXT YEAR IF THE STATE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY FROM THIS CURRENT DEFICIT. WE'D HAVE TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
YES, SIR. IF OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT DOES NOT SUSTAIN ITSELF AS WELL.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER VARIABLE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
YEAH. AND SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE, LIKE I WANT US TO BE LOOKING AT THIS WITH REALITY GOGGLES ON THAT SAYS, LIKE, WE CAN HOPE AND PRAY THAT OUR ENROLLMENT GOES UP AND THE STATE GIVES US MORE FUNDING.
[01:40:04]
AND NOW WE'RE HAVING SOME REAL SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH FOUR MONTHS LEFT TO GO.SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE US, WE'VE ALREADY YOU ALL HAVE DONE A LOT OF THIS WORK.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO LOOK AT THIS AT A LONGER THAN ONE YEAR AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS, FOR US TO START TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS NOW, IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF THE STATE DOESN'T PASS ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND ENROLLMENT DOESN'T GO UP, WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL CUTS NEXT YEAR.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO START HAVING THAT CONVERSATION SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
IT'S TOO LARGE, AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS PRETTY CLEARLY NOW.
BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS. THANK YOU.
PRESIDENT HENRY, WE'RE ON ITEM SEVEN B, FIRST ROUND ON BUDGET DEVELOPMENT.
OH. FIRST ROUND. STILL ANYBODY ELSE ON FIRST ROUND? I JUST HAVE.
I'LL WAIT FOR A SECOND. IT'S FINE. OKAY, THANKS.
THE 25 YEAR IS THE IS THE BUDGET THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING AND THE POTENTIALLY DRASTIC CUTS THAT ARE ON THE HORIZON.
SO THAT WOULD BE A TWO YEARS OUT, CORRECT? YEAH. OKAY. OKAY.
AND THAT'S IN ACCORD WITH WHAT YOUR THINKING IS.
TRUSTEE CARREÓN JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS, MAYBE JUST TO GET ON THE RECORD AND TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE NOW AND THEN WHERE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. IF SO, CURRENTLY THE BASIC ALLOTMENT PER STUDENT IS $6,160. THAT RIGHT? YES. AND DO YOU HAVE DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW I THINK I THINK, I THINK I KNOW, BUT WHAT THE BASIC ALLOTMENT SHOULD BE TODAY.
IF THE LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST AND NOT JUST THE 2021 OR 2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS ADJUSTED THE BASIC ALLOTMENT FOR INFLATION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BASIC ALLOTMENT WOULD BE TODAY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT THERE? YEAH. WELL, YOU CAN PUT ME ON THE SPOT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SUPERINTENDENTS AND THE STATE JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE MET YESTERDAY.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECOMMENDED INCREASE OF AROUND $1,100.
OKAY. ADDED TO THE BASIC ALLOTMENT.
SO THE 6160, IF WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT KIND OF 1,920% INFLATION, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT OVER $7,000 LIKE 72 $7,300 WOULD HAVE MADE, IF YOU WILL, MADE US CLOSER TO WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REFLECTED OF, OF THE INFLATION RATES.
SO, SO TO TO RESTATE IT, IF THE LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE SIMPLY JUST ADJUSTED THE BASIC ALLOTMENT FOR INFLATION WE SHOULD HAVE WE SHOULD, WE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A BASIC ALLOTMENT PER STUDENT OF ABOUT $7,300.
YES. AND I KNOW YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS NEXT QUESTION.
WHAT? FOR THIS PROPOSED BUDGET, THE 2024, 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET WHAT WOULD THE BASIC ALLOTMENT NEEDED TO HAVE BEEN TO ENSURE THAT THIS BUDGET WAS BUDGET NEUTRAL OR IT WAS NOT A BUDGET DEFICIT? WELL, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO MAKE UP $186 MILLION, AND THAT $1,000 THAT WOULD HAVE GENERATED ABOUT $137,000.
SO A LITTLE A LITTLE OVER THE $1,000 LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT PRETTY CLOSE.
RIGHT. SO I GUESS AND THAT'S WHERE I'M WHERE I'M HEADING FOR THE THE PUBLIC TO RECOGNIZE IS THAT IF THE STATE LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE JUST ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION IN THE PAST TWO LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A BUDGET TODAY THAT WOULD HAVE.
WOULD NOT BE A BUDGET DEFICIT, BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN NEARLY BALANCED.
NEARLY BALANCED. YEAH. THAT'S IT.
TRUSTEE CARREÓN I HAVE TRUSTEE WHITE AND FOLLOWED BY TRUSTEE FOREMAN.
YES, I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
[01:45:01]
THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE AS FAR AS KEEPING THE CAMPUS SECURE.WILL THAT TEAM BE FUNDED THROUGH GENERAL FUNDS OR.
I MEAN, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE FUNDED THROUGH ESSER RIGHT NOW OR HOW THEY'RE FUNDED, BUT WILL THAT TEAM REMAIN INTACT SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO GET GOOD, GOOD RATINGS AS FAR AS SAFETY IS CONCERNED? SO THE ENTITY THAT DOES THE SECURITY EVALUATIONS ARE NOW AN OUTSIDE TEAM THAT COMES IN FROM THE SERVICE CENTER REGION TEN DOES THAT. AND THEN YOU ALL, I THINK, ALSO HAVE OUR INTERNAL AUDITOR, WHO I BELIEVE HAS A GROUP THAT RANDOMLY HAS GONE OUT TO DO SOME, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD LOCALLY.
IT'S NOW SOMETHING THAT THE STATE NOW REQUIRES BEING DONE OF OF THE SERVICE CENTER REGION TEN.
SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT INSTEAD OF WILL WE WILL THERE BE A COST FOR US TO HAVE THIS COMING FROM THE SERVICE CENTER? NO, MA'AM. SO THE SO THE SERVICE CENTER, THEY'RE SUPPLYING WORKERS, WHAT HAVE YOU TO COME AND DO? WHAT THIS TEAM WAS DOING FOR US AT NO COST.
WE'VE NEVER OUR TEAM HAVE BEEN CURRENT EMPLOYEES THAT HAD OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES.
RIGHT. SO THE THE PRINCIPAL, THE CUSTODIAN, OUR POLICE OFFICERS WERE THE ONES WHO WERE CHECKING THE.
IT'S NOT SO IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL COST.
OKAY. BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING AS FAR AS THAT, THERE WAS A BASICALLY A TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO BASICALLY DO JUST THIS, MAKE SURE AND REPAIR WHATEVER REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE DONE AS FAR AS DOORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT I IT IS GOOD TO HEAR THAT WE WILL BE GETTING A SERVICE PROVIDED FROM REGION TEN SERVICE CENTER FOR THAT FOR FREE.
AND I THINK THAT WAS I THINK THAT WAS MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION.
OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE DO FORECASTING APPROXIMATELY, WHAT, 3 TO 3, THREE YEARS IN ADVANCE, IS THAT CORRECT? FOUR YEARS, FOUR YEARS.
YOU HAVE A FOUR YEAR FORECAST.
SO WE KIND OF BASICALLY KNOW WHAT'S I MEAN, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN STONE.
SO WE DO BASICALLY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WE KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP THE ROAD.
SO YES, THERE IS A FORECAST THAT GENERATES OUR PROPOSALS AND DRIVES OUR ASSUMPTIONS.
AND WE MODEL THAT OUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND NOT BUDGET JUST ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
I GUESS MY OTHER QUESTION IS I DO UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY THREE MONTHS TO EIGHT MONTHS.
THE FUND BALANCE REQUIREMENT IS SIX IS 90 DAYS.
THREE MONTHS. YES. THAT'S THE BOARD POLICY AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE.
BUT I HEARD YOU SAY WE COULD AT LEAST IF WE, IF WE, IF WE HAD MORE IT COULD BE UP TO EIGHT MONTHS.
BUT THAT'LL JUST BE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE HAVE.
I DIDN'T SAY UP TO EIGHT MONTHS.
OKAY, I SAID, I JUST TODAY I SPOKE OF 90 DAYS.
YES, YOU SAID THE THREE MONTHS AND THE FUND.
OKAY, I THOUGHT I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING ELSE.
SO AND I, AND I FEEL THAT IF WE DO EXCEED, I FEEL WE SHOULD EXCEED THREE MONTHS.
THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION, BECAUSE WE DO NEED RESOURCES IN THE EVENT SOMETHING COMES UP, SUCH AS WE DECIDED TO GIVE THE 2% WAGES, WHICH WHICH I FEEL IS A GREAT THING.
THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN OKAY.
THANK YOU. DO WE PROJECT THE GRANTS AND OTHER FUNDING THAT WE THINK WE ANTICIPATE COMING IN FOR EACH SCHOOL YEAR? YES. OUR GRANT BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS FOLLOWS A VERY SIMILAR PROCESS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.
SO DO WE DO WE HAVE THE PROJECTED GRANT AND OTHER FUNDING FOR THE 2024, 2025
[01:50:04]
PROJECTED BUDGET? YES. WHAT WOULD THAT NUMBER BE? 140 MILLION.OKAY. AND THE SUPERINTENDENT MIGHT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS.
PRIOR TO THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR.
WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT THE DISTRICT ADOPTED A DEFICIT BUDGET? LAST YEAR.
I'M TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
PRIOR TO THAT, I CAN'T RECALL A TIME THAT WE HAVE HAD A DEFICIT BUDGET.
I CAN'T EITHER, AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT QUESTION.
IN REGARDS TO THE FUND BALANCE, I THINK THE POLICY SAYS THREE MONTHS.
AND I ALSO BELIEVE OF DOLLARS IN THE FUND BALANCE.
WE SHOULD NOT BE ROBBING THE SCHOOLS.
AND NOT USING THOSE DOLLARS TO GO TO THE SCHOOLS, BECAUSE THAT'S IN ESSENCE WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR.
AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET EVERY DOLLAR WE CAN TO THE CAMPUS.
ROBERT, I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT COMPENSATION.
I'M GONNA DO THIS REAL QUICK IN REGARDS TO THE INCREASES THAT WE'RE GIVING BASED ON STARTING WITH TEACHERS.
I THINK THAT TRUSTEE WHITE ASKED ABOUT, CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME REALLY QUICK BECAUSE THEY IF THEY DON'T CUT ANYBODY ELSE OFF HERE FOR TEN MINUTES, THEY'RE GOING TO CUT ME OFF SO QUICKLY, PLEASE.
YEAH. AND SO WOULD YOU REPHRASE YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS LIKE THE OVERALL STIPENDS, ANY STIPENDS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT THAT GOES TO TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, ANY STIPENDS? YEAH. THERE WILL BE A LOT AND WE CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE THAT.
I MEAN, THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE ONES THAT I THINK OF.
YEAH. AND I ASKED THAT QUESTION FOR THAT REASON.
I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF STIPENDS OUT THERE, BUT WHEN WE ADDRESS SALARY, WE DON'T ADDRESS STIPEND.
AND ALSO IF THERE ARE TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCES, COULD YOU ALSO ADDRESS THAT ALSO? BECAUSE TO ME, THAT'S A PART OF YOUR OVERALL COMPENSATION.
AND WE DON'T REALLY ADDRESS THAT.
YEAH. AND I CAN GET SOME INFORMATION TOGETHER FOR NEXT TIME.
I WILL TELL YOU OVERALL, THE GENERAL PROCESS, WE DO REVIEW OUR STIPENDS EVERY YEAR.
SOME STIPENDS ARE, ARE ADDED OR INCREASED.
WE LOOK AT THAT EFFECTIVENESS AND THAT ROI AND THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, A LOT OF THE TEACHER STIPENDS I MENTIONED THERE SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE SURE WE MAINTAIN THAT MARKET COMPETITIVE PIECE, THOUGH I GET THAT.
BUT I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL SHARE THOSE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.
THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN TRUSTEE MACKEY.
SORRY, THAT WAS STILL ON FROM THE LAST ROUND.
I WANT IS THAT YOU HAD TIME LEFT? TRUSTEE JOHNSON I'M JOKING.
SUPERINTENDENT, CAN YOU PLACE THAT IN THE TRACKER FOR US? THE INFORMATION THAT TRUSTEE FOREMAN WAS REQUESTING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STIPENDS, BECAUSE I'M INTERESTED IN THAT, AS WELL AS THE COACHING STIPENDS THAT OUR TEACHERS GET.
YES, SIR. SO I WANT THAT INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M NOT ASKING THE QUESTION, BECAUSE SHE ANSWERED A LOT OF THEM FOR ME.
ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL MAKE SURE WE PUT IT.
IT SHOULD BE OUR GENERAL PRACTICE, OUR TEAM, AS THEY'RE WRITING DOWN THE QUESTIONS THAT ALL OF THESE SHOULD BE PUT IN THE TRACKER SO THAT EVERYONE AT THE DAIS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THAT DATA.
SO I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE CONTINUE TO TO MEET THAT.
THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU, TRUSTEE FOREMAN, FOR BRINGING SOME THINGS UP.
JUST REAL QUICK TO FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT ON ON KIND OF THE TRUSTEE CARREÓN COMMENTS QUESTIONS.
SO INFLATION HAS SHORTED US ABOUT 1100 BUCKS THAT THE STATE HASN'T FUNDED.
RIGHT. AND THEN THIS YEAR IT'LL BE ANOTHER 5 TO 8% BECAUSE DALLAS DALLAS FORT WORTH IS ONE OF THE FIVE HIGHEST CITIES FOR INFLATION. SO THAT AFFECTS US AS WELL.
BUT THEN WE ALSO DIDN'T GET FULLY FUNDED FOR THE SECURITY.
[01:55:04]
WE GOT LIKE A THIRD, DIDN'T WE.YEAH, IN SOME INSTANCES EVEN LESS THAN A THIRD.
SO SO NOT ONLY ARE THEY SHORTING US ON INFLATION 1100 BUCKS PER KID ADA, BUT THEY'RE ALSO SHORTING US 75%, 80% OF THE COST OF THE ADDED SECURITY, WHICH IS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE.
AND THEN WE ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE THIS UNFUNDED MANDATE OF OF THE SECURITY.
I MEAN THAT'S GAS THAT'S, YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE MAINTENANCE.
IT'S EVERY SINGLE THING WE BUY THAT WE USE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT THAT IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS ONE.
BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER UNFUNDED PORTIONS OF THIS.
THE STATE JUST HASN'T YOU KNOW, RISEN UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
THANK YOU. AND SINCE YOU MENTIONED THAT, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET ME GOING.
AND IT ALSO DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT WE ARE STILL ONE OF ONLY SIX STATES WHO STILL FUND ON ATTENDANCE, NOT ON MEMBERSHIP.
AND ONCE AGAIN, ONE OF THE MOST INEQUITABLE PRACTICES, BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO HAVE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES COMING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED THE RESOURCES THE MOST AS THEY HAVE TO STAY HOME TO TAKE CARE OF YOU KNOW, IF A, IF A SIBLING GETS ILL, THEY MAY HAVE TO STAY HOME, AN OLDER SIBLING MAY HAVE TO STAY HOME TO TAKE CARE OF THAT CHILD SO THE PARENT CAN GO TO WORK.
SO THE VERY SCHOOLS WHO NEED THOSE RESOURCES ARE THE ONES WHO ARE BEING FUNDED IN AN INEQUITABLE MANNER, WHO NEED THOSE RESOURCES THE MOST.
SO WHEN YOU COMBINE WHAT YOU ALL HAVE JUST MENTIONED, WHETHER IT'S KEEPING UP WITH INFLATION, WHETHER IT'S UNFUNDED OR UNDERFUNDED MANDATES, WHETHER IT'S WE'RE BEING FUNDED ON ATTENDANCE, NOT ON ENROLLMENT, THOSE THREE THINGS ALONE HAVE A HUGE IMPACT.
AND THEN I WANT TO REITERATE, ESSENTIALLY, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE ONE SLIDE THAT SHOWS OUR DEFICIT PROJECTION FOR THIS YEAR FOR FOR THE PROJECTED YEAR, THIS ONE, IF WE HAD SIMPLY TAKEN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, THE THE ADOPTED BUDGET.
AND MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT JUST FOR RECAPTURE THAT DEFICIT WOULD HAVE IS GOING TO COME DOWN SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT MAYBE 30, $35 MILLION AS OPPOSED TO THE 186, RIGHT WHEN WE MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.
SO IF ALL I DID WAS SAY, LET'S COPY AND PASTE LAST YEAR'S BUDGET TO THIS YEAR.
WE WOULD HAVE TO ADD SOME THINGS, LIKE THE $34 MILLION IN SALARY INCREASES TO THAT BUDGET.
SO TAKE THE EXISTING 35 DEFICIT, ADD ANOTHER LETS FOR ROUNDING PURPOSES, 35 MILLION IN SALARY INCREASES, AND THEN ADD 263 MILLION OF SPENDING THAT WAS COMING THROUGH ESSER DOLLARS.
SO IF YOU SIMPLY JUST COPY PASTED, THAT WOULD BE 260 PLUS 70.
SO THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN US A TOTAL OF $350 MILLION.
IF WE WERE TO SAY, CAN WE DO THIS SCHOOL YEAR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR, A REPEAT OF LAST SCHOOL YEAR AND MADE NO ADJUSTMENTS WHATSOEVER. SO WHILE THE 187 MILLION LOOKS LARGE AND OF COURSE IT IS LARGE, WE DO HAVE FUND BALANCE SO THAT WE CAN STILL PROVIDE THOSE RAISES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR TEAM MEMBERS, AND WE STILL WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES FROM OUR ESSER DOLLARS INTO THIS.
SO WE ESSENTIALLY WENT FROM A $350 MILLION DEFICIT BACK OF THE NAPKIN CALCULATION TO 187.
AND THAT IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL.
BUT OVERALL, THAT IS HOW WE HAVE ENDED UP AT THE 187.
AND WE DO KNOW YOU ALL WANT AND SHOULD GET, AND WE WILL PROVIDE THAT THREE YEAR FORECAST TO EVERY TRUSTEE'S COMMENTS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN KEEP THIS UP FOR AT LEAST THIS YEAR AND TWO MORE YEARS, OUR LEGISLATIVE SESSION IF THEY HAVE NO SPECIAL SESSIONS, RIGHT, WILL WILL BEGIN JANUARY OF 25 AND WILL COMPLETE MAY OF 25.
SO IF WE GET ANY ADDITIONAL DOLLARS IT WILL COME UNTIL THAT YEAR IS COMPLETED AND WE WON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
SO WE KNOW ALL OF THESE ARE MOVING TARGETS, AND WE KNOW THESE ARE ALL VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS.
[02:00:04]
AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO REITERATE THAT.I TOO, WANT EVERY DOLLAR POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SERVICING OUR CAMPUSES AND OUR TEACHERS AND OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR STUDENTS, WHILE WE ENSURE THAT WE DO ALL OF THE OTHER PARTS THAT ARE REQUIRED.
THERE'S A LOT OF ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, WHICH IS ANOTHER UNFUNDED OR UNDERFUNDED MANDATE IN THE AREA OF NOW, EVERY STUDENT NEEDING TO BE SCREENED FOR DYSLEXIA AND NOW REQUIRING A FULL INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION, WHICH WAS NOT REQUIRED BEFORE.
SO OUR DIAGNOSTICIANS AND OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION SUPPORT TEAM IS WORKING.
EVEN THEY'VE ALREADY ALWAYS WORKED HARD.
SO I KNOW I COULD SIT HERE AND LIST ALL OF THE CHALLENGES THAT OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE FACED WITH.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? TRUSTEES. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP MOVING.
THE MINUTES THEY'LL BE POSTED IN THE BOARD DOCS PRIOR TO THE BOARD MEETING.
[9. MINUTES SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL]
WE HAVE AN ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT ON CONTINUING EDUCATION, MYSELF INCLUDED, AT OUR LAST REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BEFORE AN ELECTION OF TRUSTEES, WHICH WILL BE[10. STATUTORY ITEMS]
THIS MONTH, THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF EACH LOCAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS REQUIRED TO ANNOUNCE THE NAME OF EACH BOARD MEMBER WHO HAS COMPLETED THE REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION, WHO HAS EXCEEDED THE REQUIRED HOURS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND WHO IS DEFICIENT IN MEETING REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION AS OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE OF EACH BOARD MEMBERS ELECTION OR APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD.SO WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH THE AGENDA.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, STOP ME.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN A POINT OF INFORMATION, PLEASE.
IN REGARDS TO I, I NOTICED AND NOTICED THAT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT GO THROUGH THE POLICY COMMITTEE, BUT I'VE TRIED TO FIND TAPES WHERE THERE WERE POLICY COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
COULD SOMEBODY HELP ME? GO AHEAD. TRUSTEE JOHNSON WE TRUSTEE FOREMAN WE HAVE OUR MEETINGS VIA ONLINE.
AND SO THAT'S WE EITHER DO WE NORMALLY DO ZOOM.
WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR THAT DISCUSSION.
THIS A POINT OF INFORMATION, MA'AM.
AND I NEED CLARITY BECAUSE WE'VE GOT POLICIES IN FRONT OF US, AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES WHERE I THINK AFTER COVID, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO OF ITS THREE MEMBERS ON THE BOARD, SO AT LEAST TWO SHOULD BE IN PERSON.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN I HAVE OKAY, TRUSTEE FOREMAN YOUR QUESTIONS DULY NOTED.
YEAH, I DO NEED AN ANSWER I GOT YOU.
THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ON ANY POLICY UPDATES?
[11. POLICY UPDATES]
11 A B OR C B C D? OKAY. TRUSTEE MACKEY.YEAH, THIS SO THIS POLICY AMENDMENT IS WITH THE PURPOSE OF CODIFYING WHAT WE DO THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION COMMITTEE. IT'S BEEN FOR THE FIRST TWO READS.
SO WHAT YOU HAVE AT YOUR DESKS IS A PRINTOUT AND WE'LL SUBMIT IT SO IT CAN BE POSTED.
[02:05:02]
AND IT'S MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE MOVE AT THE NIGHT MEETING TO AMEND THE LANGUAGE THAT IS REPRESENTED HERE WITH WHAT I FEEL IS CLEANER LANGUAGE.PROGRESS MEASURES GPM'S 22% ALLOCATED TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE BOARD'S CONSTRAINTS AS MEASURED BY THE CONSTRAINT PROGRESS MEASURES CPMS 18% ALLOCATED TOWARDS STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND FUND BALANCE AS OUTLINED IN C LOCAL FUND BALANCE POLICY, WHICH, AS A NOTE, IS THE THREE MONTHS FUND BALANCE THAT WAS REFERRED TO BY TAMIKA EARLIER.
SO THAT ESSENTIALLY MATCHES THE SAME LANGUAGE HERE.
A PERFORMANCE LEVEL IS ASSIGNED AND THEY ARE 0 TO 49 POINTS IS UNSUCCESSFUL, 50 TO 69 POINTS IS SOMEWHAT SUCCESSFUL, 70 TO 89 POINTS IS FULLY SUCCESSFUL, AND 90 PLUS POINTS IS CLEARLY SUPERIOR.
ALL OF THIS IS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN OUR EVALUATION AND WE'VE HAD FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS.
SO NOTHING IS ACTUALLY CHANGING WITH THE INSTRUMENT.
IT IS JUST SIMPLY CODIFYING THE BIGGEST COMPONENTS OF THAT EVALUATION IN POLICY.
AND I WILL MOVE FOR THAT AS AN AMENDMENT AT THE NIGHT MEETING BASED ON IT.
THANK YOU. TRUSTEE MACKEY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON ANY OF THE POLICY UPDATES? BE OKAY.
SO IT IT SPEAKS TO DOING WEEKLY INSPECTIONS AT THE SCHOOLS WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF DOING THE WEEKLY INSPECTIONS.
AND WHERE WILL THAT REPOSITORY BE? IT IS LOCATED AT THE CAMPUS.
THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS DO THE WEEKLY INSPECTIONS OF THE DOORS.
AND THAT AND PREPARATION FOR I BELIEVE IT'S REGION TEN WHO SENDS THE AUDITORS OUT TO TO CHECK.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE GO TO CLOSED SESSION AND REPORT TO THE BOARD.
I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CAMPUS LEVEL.
CHIEF. WITH THIS PROCESS YOU JUST MENTIONED, IS THERE ANY OTHER COMPONENT THAT WE UTILIZE AS FAR AS ANY OF OUR STAFF OR TEAM MEMBERS THAT GO AROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE IN COMPLIANCE BEFORE REGION TEN COMES ONTO THE SITE AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL, IT'S USUALLY THE SAFETY COORDINATOR, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, PRINCIPAL.
I EVEN ASKED THE CUSTODIANS TO GO AROUND A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY THAN JUST ONCE A WEEK.
SO ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUS, WE HAVE SAFETY COORDINATORS THAT ARE ASSIGNED.
YES. AND THEY'RE BASICALLY A STAFF MEMBER THAT I GUESS THAT WOULD TAKE ON THAT ROLE.
SO DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S CONSIDERED A SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY RESCUE AND MONITOR TEAM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I DO HAVE A DEPARTMENT LED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARLON BROOKS, AND WE FORMED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.
PRESIDENT, AS IT RELATES TO THE POLICY, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE POLICY, NOT THE FUNCTION OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY? THANK YOU MA'AM. THANK YOU.
TRUSTEES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE POLICIES? 11 C 11 C TRUSTEE FOREMAN GO AHEAD PLEASE.
SO UNDER NUMBER THREE, IT SPEAKS TO REMOVE ACCESS TO FROM THE DISTRICT'S COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND DATABASES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH TRAINING REQUIREMENTS, AS APPROPRIATE.
[02:10:01]
YES. AND WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THAT? THERE'S ANNUAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING, CYBERSECURITY TRAINING.WHOSE REQUIREMENT IS IT? EVERY SINGLE PERSON.
IF I REMEMBER, THIS IS STILL PART OF ENSURING THAT ANYONE THAT HAS ACCESS TO DISTRICT DEVICES MUST HAVE COMPLETED THIS TRAINING.
AM I CORRECT OR AM I INCORRECT ON THAT? YOU'RE CORRECT. SO IS THIS E-RATE TRAINING OR CYBERSECURITY? THOSE ARE DIFFERENT.
YES, IT IS, BUT IT'S PART OF OUR IN ORDER TO GET REIMBURSEMENTS FROM E-RATE, PART OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS SAY THAT WE DO CYBERSECURITY TRAINING. OKAY.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE THAT WAY? YEAH, IT MAKES BETTER SENSE.
AND IF WE GET SOMEBODY NOTICES OUT, WE'LL CONTACT THEM AND SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO COMPLETE.
OUR GOAL IS TO GET EVERYONE TO COMPLETE IT, NOT TO TURN ANYBODY OFF.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY, AS YOU KNOW, I WILL.
WHY DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT? WAS YOUR MIC STILL ON? OH. I'M SORRY. NO WORRIES.
I DIDN'T KNOW TRUSTEE. NO, SHE WAS FINE.
SHE HAD HER MIC ON. WHAT WAS THE NEXT ONE YOU SAID? WAS IT 14, 14, 14 A?
[14. Special Services]
14 A FOYE TRUSTEE FOREMAN.SO THIS IS A THIS IS A, I GUESS A NEW TYPE CONTRACT.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN. IT IS A NEW CONTRACT.
SO HAVE WE EVER SERVICED STUDENTS IN THE BURN UNIT BEFORE? BECAUSE I KNOW WE DO AT PARKLAND AND AT CHILDREN'S.
AND WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS FROM WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO? I'M GOING TO ASK DEPUTY CHIEF CASAS TO COME UP, BUT CURRENTLY WE ARE AT CHILDREN'S AND PARKLAND NOW, HAS A NEW BURN UNIT.
I KNOW AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, BUT IF THEY'RE AT METHODIST OR UT SOUTHWESTERN, WE JUST DON'T HAVE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THEM RIGHT NOW FOR THAT WITH PARKLAND AT ALL, NOT FOR THE BURN UNIT, NOT FOR THE BURN THE BURN UNIT.
THEY JUST OPENED A NEW PEDIATRIC BURN UNIT THAT THIS ILA WILL ALLOW US NOW TO SERVICE STUDENTS.
SO WE DO HAVE AN ILA WITH CHILDREN'S TO PROVIDE SERVICES.
OKAY. SO FOR ME, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND IF THE ILA WAS PEDIATRIC BURN UNIT INSTEAD OF BURN UNIT. THAT MAKES SENSE.
YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CHIEF OF STAFF?
[15. Communication Services]
15. 15 A TRUSTEE FOREMAN.GO AHEAD. I'M NOT THROUGH YET.
JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN THE BINDER SHUTS.
HOW ARE WE MEASURING? WE'VE ROLLED OUT NEW MARKETING EFFORTS, AND I'M QUITE PLEASED.
SO CAN YOU KIND OF WALK THROUGH FOR ME HOW WE'RE MEASURING THIS?
[02:15:01]
AND AS YOU WALK THROUGH THAT I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE OVERSPENT THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAD.I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
AND SO HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY MEASURING AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING OUR ABSOLUTE BANG FOR OUR BUCK? GOOD AFTERNOON, TRUSTEE FOREMAN.
GOOD AFTERNOON, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DOCTOR ELIZALDE.
AND EACH YEAR WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT BETTER AT, AT MEASURING AS WE LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT OUR MARKET AND THE STRATEGIES THAT WE ARE ARE IMPLEMENTING.
WE DO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR THE, THE EXPENDITURES THAT WE PUT OUT FOR EACH CAMPAIGN AND TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY WHAT OUR, OUR REACH IS FOR EACH OF THOSE CAMPAIGNS, OUR IMPRESSIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE CAMPAIGNS, AND THEN HOW MANY PEOPLE OR HOW MANY STUDENTS WE ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO BRING IN, HOW MANY STUDENTS AND PARENTS WE WE ATTRACT TO THE VARIOUS EVENTS? EACH YEAR THAT HAS GROWN AND AND THEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT, AT AT THAT AND THEN BREAK IT DOWN AS TO HOW MANY NOT NOT ONLY HOW MANY PEOPLE WE, WE REACHED, BUT WHAT WAS THE, THE NON-DISTRICT STUDENTS THAT WE ATTRACTED? HOW MANY WE KNOW THAT ACTUALLY CAME AND HOW MANY ENROLLED.
SO WE DO KEEP UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS.
SO I THINK YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.
IT'S A POSITIVE. BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF IS THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS, NOT JUST THE ATTENDEES, BUT HOW MANY ACTUAL STUDENTS DO WE GET IN, WHETHER THEY BE SUPERINTENDENT, WHETHER THEY ARE STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE IN DALLAS ISD ANYWAY, OR STUDENTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF DALLAS ISD.
SO IT'S JUST A PERSONAL THING.
SO TAKE NOTHING FROM THIS, BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENTS WE'RE GETTING BACK, BECAUSE AS WE ROLL OUT THESE KINDS OF EFFORTS, THERE'S GOT TO BE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK.
AND THE BANG FOR THE BUCK IS TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL STUDENTS INTO THIS DISTRICT.
I LIKE GOING TO THEM, BUT I JUST WANT TO SEE US MEASURE IT MORE.
AND THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR ME IS MORE STUDENTS IN DALLAS ISD.
ABSOLUTELY. IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
LIBBY. OF COURSE, I WENT TO THE LAST EVENT THAT WAS HOSTED AT FAIR PARK.
AND IT WAS A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS.
I FOUND OUT AT ANOTHER EVENT THAT I WAS AT, I WAS GOING, OH, WOW.
AND SO YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT SAME POT AGAIN, BUT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR BUDGET FOR THAT TYPE OF MARKETING AGAIN? ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE BILLBOARDS THAT ARE ACROSS, YOU KNOW, MAINLY THE ONES THAT ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING A LOT OF THINGS, BUT THE ONES THAT ARE SAYING JOIN OUR HEAD START PRE-K REGISTRATION, THINGS LIKE THAT, THE ONES THAT WERE PROVIDED BY RELIANT.
RELIANT WAS ONE OF OUR SPONSORS TO HELP US WITH, WITH OUR CAMPAIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CAMPAIGN AND SOME OF OUR OTHER PIECES.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN FOR A YEAR ROUND BILLBOARD CAMPAIGN.
WE, WE SAVE MONEY IN OUR MARKETING BUDGET FOR THAT.
BUT AGAIN, WHEN WE GET SPONSORS WHO ARE WILLING TO STEP UP AND AND HELP OUT WITH SPECIFIC CAMPAIGNS, THEN WE CERTAINLY LEVERAGE THAT AS WELL. YES.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF OUR TV SPOTS ARE BEING SPONSORED, BUT I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THAT SOME OF THOSE WERE PRIME TIME NEWS TIME WHEN I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THE NEWS AS WELL.
AND I DEFINITELY THINK THAT MORE INFORMATION, A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION COULD BE INCLUDED.
[02:20:09]
DOING ALL THESE GREAT THINGS THAT WAS MENTIONED AT THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT.ABSOLUTELY. ANOTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THIS IS $14 MILLION OVER FIVE YEARS.
YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MATH IS ON THAT.
SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME, A LITTLE LESS.
SO I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS ITEM.
I'M ALSO GOING TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A SMALL BUT MIGHTY TEAM, SO THE TYPE OF MARKETING THAT YOU'RE DOING, THE BILLBOARDS, THE THE MEDIA, WHICH SOMETIMES IS UNPAID, IT'S JUST FROM THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT YOU COULD DO IT WITH THE STAFF YOU HAVE.
I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEVERAGE VARIOUS AVENUES TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE.
SO AGAIN, FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THAT AGENDA ITEM.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON.
[21. Financial Services]
IS FOR OUR EXTERNAL AUDITOR.OKAY. COULD YOU TELL ME WHO SERVED ON.
AND MAYBE YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN THE TRACKER WHO SERVED ON THE SELECTION PANEL FOR THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT? YES, I CAN PUT THAT IN THE TRACKER.
COULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME, PLEASE? AND COULD YOU TELL ME IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, HAVE WE HAD ANYONE OTHER THAN WEAVER TO BE OUR OUTSIDE AUDITOR? WEAVER HAS BEEN OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS.
OKAY, I'LL WAIT FOR THAT ANSWER IN THE TRACKER.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN 26 G 21 B 21 B.
I'M 26 G I'M SORRY, WHAT'S THE NUMBER? 21 B I'LL LET I'LL FOREGO THAT.
OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

I'M SORRY. ANYTHING BEFORE 25 G.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN YOU HAVE SOMETHING BEFORE 25G.
YOU GOTTA GIVE IT TIME. YEAH, 24 EIGHT.
BEN IS OVER HERE MESSING WITH ME.
YOU GOT TO MOVE. I'LL TRY TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD.
I CALLED, DID YOU SEND HIM TO DISTRACT ME? 24 EIGHT TRUSTEE FOREMAN.
GO AHEAD. I'LL COME BACK TO MINE.
[25. Construction Services]
CAN'T I'M SORRY.WOULD IT COME TO CONSTRUCTION? I KNOW IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE, SO KIND OF EXPAND.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITH THE WEST DALLAS MR? I KNOW DUSTY IS MOVING IN NOW.
BECAUSE I DO HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS.
WE WE'RE WRAPPING UP THE ROOF PROJECT WITH READER.
WE BID OUT THE REST OF THE PROJECT.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE TO FINISH OUT WEST DALLAS STEM.
ALSO, DEATHS IS BEING RELOCATED RE RELOCATED TO THE FORMER PINKSTON TO SHARE WITH WEST DALLAS STEM.
SO THAT PROGRAM AND THE DOLLARS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
WE'RE USING THAT TO TO RENOVATE THE FORMER PINKSTON.
RIGHT. WHAT'S THE TOTAL AMOUNT? I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IT. I'LL HAVE MY OTHER GLASSES ON ME.
I KNOW IT'S HERE. I JUST COULDN'T SEE IT RIGHT AWAY.
THAT TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING.
BECAUSE I KNOW ME AND TRUSTEE CARREÓN BEEN WORKING TOGETHER IN WEST DALLAS.
IS THAT ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE DEATHS OF BOND FUNDS OR.
[02:25:04]
YES, CONNECTED WITH DEATHS OF BOND FUNDS? CORRECT. OKAY.THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE.
AND THEN WHEN IS THE WITH THE RESOURCE CENTER? BECAUSE I'M. HOW IS THAT WORKING AND GOING ON OVER THERE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PART? IS THAT A PART OF THAT AS WELL? NO. THAT'S SEPARATE.
WE ALREADY HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THAT ONE.
THAT'S PHILLIPS MAY IS WORKING ON THE RESOURCE.
JUST BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE AGENDA ITEM.
WELL, I CAN ASK IS THIS IS THAT IS THAT IS THIS THE TOTAL? I'M TRYING TO SAY IF THE TOTAL WORK THAT'S GOING ON AT THE SCOPE OF THIS WORK IS SIMPLY FOR WHAT'S LISTED HERE.
OKAY. DOES NOT INCLUDE WHAT'S NOT LISTED HERE.
I GOTCHA. SO THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE BOND.
IT'S NOT A PART OF THIS PARTICULAR, BUT IT IS A PART OF THE BOND.
THE RESOURCE CENTER IS PART OF THE BOND.
OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT.
THIS IS BOND FUNDED, I GOTCHA, I GOTCHA.
YEAH I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT THE TOTAL.
SO THE TOTAL PRICE IS THE 57 MIL, RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY.
WHEN ARE WE LOOKING TO START THAT AND WHEN ARE WE LOOKING AT TO COMPLETE THAT? WHAT'S THE TIMELINE AND DEADLINE? IF WE APPROVE THIS IN APRIL, I THINK I CAN GET A CONTRACTOR STARTED SOMETIME IN JUNE.
THEY WOULD COMPLETE, AND I JUST GOT A NOTE ON THIS.
THEY WERE COMPLETE IN MARCH OF 2026.
OH, THIS WAS BID ALSO WITH WEST DALLAS JUNIOR HIGH.
THAT ONE WOULD COMPLETE OCTOBER OF 25, OCTOBER 25TH.
CORRECT. ABOUT A YEAR, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.
IS THAT WHERE PEABODY'S AT? CORRECT. OKAY. OKAY, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS HERE.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. CORRECT.
OKAY. I CAN TALK THE REST OFFLINE.
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS OVER THERE.
I'M READY. BEN'S NOT HERE, SO I CAN SPEAK.
EIGHT. YES. GO AHEAD. IS THAT YOU? 25. 25.
YEAH, 20. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
OKAY. SO THIS IS FOR A CORPORATE AGREEMENT FOR VENDOR TO PURCHASE AND DISTRIBUTE ANTENNA SYSTEMS TO SPECIFIC SCHOOLS OR IN SPECIFIC AREAS.
IS THAT CORRECT? WE IDENTIFIED SOUTH OAK CLIFF.
WE DID A SURVEY OF ALL THE SCHOOLS.
WE GOT A REPORT BACK WHERE THEY HAD NO GOOD CELL PHONE COVERAGE.
WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED AND WORKING WITH SECURITY TO IDENTIFY WHICH SCHOOL THAT WOULD BE.
SO IT'S MORE THAN ONE SCHOOL, BUT WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT TWO SCHOOLS.
YES, MA'AM. SO, SUPERINTENDENT, THAT'S WHEN THIS OLD SPENDTHRIFT OVER HERE SAYS, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT FOR ONE SCHOOL, WE NEED TO BE DOING IT FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT MIGHT BE STRUGGLING WITH CELL PHONES.
NOTHING NEGATIVE, BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT FOR ONE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY AND MAXI LOVE.
SOUTH OAK CLIFF IS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN THE THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE PURCHASING THAT WE'RE GOING TO OWN OR, OR WILL WE HAVE TO THE LENGTH OF TERM FOR THE CONTRACT, IS THERE ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT? WILL OWN IT, WILL OWN IT.
JUST LOOK CLOSELY AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS TOO, PLEASE.
YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
DON'T GO AWAY, TRUSTEE JOHNSON.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUSTEE FOREMAN IS SAYING, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I LOVE ALL MY SCHOOLS.
LET ME SAY THAT NOT JUST SOUTH OAK CLIFF HIGH SCHOOL.
WELL, WE DID THE SAME THING OVER AT PINKSTON HIGH SCHOOL.
CORRECT. BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE THEY DID THE BUILDING.
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED. SO YOU GUYS FIX THAT? IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE CONTRACT THAT YOU'RE DOING.
[02:30:01]
I THINK I SPOKE WITH YOU ABOUT WE HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT THAT'S NOT DISTRICT FIVE, CORRECT, THAT YOU WAS WORKING ON, BUT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THIS THING DONE AND COME BEFORE THE BOARD FOR ALL THE SCHOOLS, CORRECT? YEAH, CORRECT. I CAME TO THE BOARD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO TO DO A SURVEY FOR ALL OF THE SCHOOL.WE'VE CONDUCTED THAT SURVEY, AND SOUTH OAK CLIFF CAME UP AS ONE OF THE HIGH PRIORITIES.
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO IDENTIFY OTHER SCHOOLS THAT NEED TO BE ON THAT LIST, WHICH IS WHY I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SCHOOL ON HERE THAT I'M WORKING WITH SECURITY TO IDENTIFY WHAT'S THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. OKAY.
YES. AND THEN BASED ON THAT DATA, WE'RE GOING TO ROLL OUT A PLAN TO ADDRESS ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS.
OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUSTEE FOREMAN IS SAYING, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S KNOWN THAT ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN TALKING ON THAT AND THAT IT'S JUST NOT SERVICING JUST OUR SCHOOL, ROOSEVELT SOUTH OR BANKS.
IT'S ALL THE SCHOOLS. CORRECT.
RHODES LEARNING CENTER NOT TO EXCEED $6 MILLION IN BOND FUNDS.
SO THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THAT BUILDING IN THAT SCHOOL? THE UNIT VENTILATORS? NO, NO, NO.
WHAT PROGRAMS DO? MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT.
MAYBE THE SUPERINTENDENT CAN ANSWER BETTER.
WE HAVE OUR EARLY LEARNING, OUR PRE-K THREE AND FOUR YEAR OLDS THERE.
AND THEN THE RESOURCE CENTER FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS ALSO THERE.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME WE ACTUALLY BOUGHT A UNIT FOR THAT SCHOOL? I DO NOT HAVE THAT DATA.
CAN YOU GET THAT DATA FOR ME? AND. AND THE LAST TIME WE SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REPAIR DOLLARS WOULD ALSO BE IMPORTANT FOR ME.
WELL, NOT JUST FOR ME. FOR THE BOARD.
CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE EXTENSION DATE FOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2015 BOND PROGRAM AND OTHER PROJECTS MANAGED BY CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
SO, BRANT, THE THE I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAD IS WHAT'S THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE STILL HAVE IN THE 2015 BOND? DO WE KNOW? NO. I'D HAVE.
I CAN ENSURE THAT IN THE TRACKER.
YEAH. WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN THE TRACKER? BECAUSE I'M NOT AGAINST EXTENDING THEM.
BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW THE DOLLAR AMOUNT I SET ON THE BOND COMMITTEE FOR THE 2015 BOND.
SO IF YOU SHARE THAT, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER? YES. I TOLD YOU, I STAYED UP LATE.
[26. Real Property Management]
26 A CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH FOR ONE YEAR RENEWAL OPTIONS WITH THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION NORTH TEXAS HEALTH CARE SYSTEM FOR THE USE OF APPROXIMATELY 4.8 ACRES OF UNIMPROVED DISTRICT LAND FOR PARKING AND CONSTRUCTION.THAT THIS IS $210 AND $210,240 OF REVENUE OVER A ONE YEAR TERM.
TRUSTEE FOREMAN YOU HAVE THE FULL. THANK YOU, MAX.
I'M NOT STEPPING ON YOUR TOES, BUT THESE ARE SCHOOLS IN YOUR AREA.
IN REGARDS TO AROUND THE VETERANS HOSPITAL.
AND THE FIRST QUESTION THAT CAME TO MIND WHEN I WAS READING THIS IS HAVE YOU GOTTEN WITH THE SBMS AND THE SCHOOLS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE? A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU GO AROUND SCHOOLS AT THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL OR THE END OF SCHOOL, THE TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE.
AND IF YOU'VE GOT CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MOVING IN AND OUT, YOU KNOW THIS BETTER THAN I DO.
THIS IS YOUR THIS IS YOUR BAILIWICK.
BUT YOU HAVE ALL KINDS OF SITUATIONS.
AND BEFORE I COULD AGREE TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I WOULD WANT EACH ONE OF THOSE SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME INPUT AS TO WHAT IT IS THEY THINK IS NEEDED.
FOR INSTANCE HOLLAND IS A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY, BUT THOSE SCHOOLS, THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON
[02:35:03]
LANCASTER, AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF WE HAVE GOTTEN THOSE SCHOOLS TO BUY INTO THIS.YES, MA'AM. WE REACHED OUT TO BOTH SCHOOLS.
THIS THIS THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE FOR ONLY TWO SCHOOLS AND THE LISBON POOL.
SO HOLLAND IS NOT PART OF THIS.
I THOUGHT I READ THAT IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
IT'S THE HARRY STONE MONTESSORI.
IT'S THE LISBON POOL AND THE NEW TECH HIGH SCHOOL.
SO WHERE IS THE LISBON POOL? IT'S. IT'S ADJACENT TO HARRY STONE MONTESSORI.
OKAY. AND THEN NEW TECH AND NEW TECH.
CORRECT. SO THAT'S THREE SCHOOLS.
LISBON POOL IS AN ATHLETIC FACILITY.
IT'S A NATATORIUM. OKAY, OKAY.
SO HAVE YOU GOTTEN IN? IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM.
ARE THERE ANY REQUESTS THAT THEY HAVE? YES, I SPOKE WITH BOTH PRINCIPALS.
THE PRINCIPAL AT HARRISON DID MEET WITH HER SBMM, AND THEY DID HAVE SOME REQUESTS.
AND THOSE REQUESTS ARE BEING HONORED THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT AND BY THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION.
OKAY. CAN YOU SHOW ME IN THE AGREEMENT WHERE THEIR REQUESTS ARE BEING HONORED? WELL. SO THEY SO THEY WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THE VA'S SECURITY MAY PROVIDE SECURITY TO THESE, TO THESE LOTS.
AND THE VA DID AGREE TO DO THAT.
IS IT IN THE AGREEMENT? IT'S NOT IN THE IN THE AGREEMENT, BUT THEY DID AGREE TO PROVIDE SECURITY AS PART OF THE WE CAN ADD IT TO THE AGREEMENT, BUT THAT WASN'T PART OF THE, THE, THE THE NEGOTIATION FOR THE LAND LEASE.
THE ONLY REASON I ASK THOSE QUESTIONS, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AGREEMENTS, IF IT'S NOT IN WRITING, 90% OF THE TIME PEOPLE DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE IF WE'RE IF WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON ADMINISTRATION FOR THOSE SCHOOLS IS THAT THEIR REQUEST ARE IN WRITING IF IT'S REASONABLE, IF IT'S UNREASONABLE.
SUPERINTENDENT, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT IF IT'S A REASONABLE REQUEST SUCH AS SECURITY AND IT'S NOT IN THE AGREEMENT.
AND I'LL LET TRUSTEE JOHNSON TALK ABOUT HIS SCHOOLS.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT'S THAT'S AN ISSUE FOR ME.
WE GOT IT IN WRITING, BUT IT WAS JUST THROUGH EMAIL CONVERSATIONS.
BUT WE CAN ADD IT TO THE AGREEMENT IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.
OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? TRUSTEE. JOHNSON OKAY WITH THE INFORMATION.
WHEN YOU GUYS MET WITH THE SITE BASE, CAN YOU PLACE THAT IN THE TRACKER FOR ME AND EMAIL ME PERSONALLY ON MY DISTRICT EMAIL? YEAH. THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL MET WITH THEIR GROUP.
WE DIDN'T MEET WITH THE GROUP SPECIFICALLY.
OKAY. CAN YOU GET THE NOTES? SURE. AND I DON'T.
SORRY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUSTEE FOREMAN IS SAYING.
SO I TRUST THE ADMINISTRATION THAT YOU GUYS ARE HANDLING THE JOB.
BUT I DO UNDERSTAND HER CONCERN, BECAUSE IF IT IF IT'S NOT IN WRITING, NORMALLY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
AND SO I THINK WHATEVER DEAL YOU GUYS WORKED OUT FOR THE I GUESS THE SAFETY OR THE PEACE OF MIND FOR THE BOARD IF WE HAVE THAT IN THE CONTRACT, I THINK THAT'S FINE.
BUT I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING.
IT'S NOT MY JOB. IT'S YOUR JOB.
AND SO I THINK YOU'RE DOING THAT WELL.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. CERTAINLY I.
ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON ITEM 2026 B OR C? I WILL DIRECT OUR TEAM TO GO AND PUT THAT INTO THE AGREEMENT, SO THAT THEIR REMOVES ANY AMBIGUITY WITH REGARD TO WHAT THEY'VE COMMITTED TO.
309 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
