          ANNA ROZON AND MIKE HOOK, 
          [5. Action Item]
FOLLOWED BY ROBERT CHICALLI AND MARY ANNE HOSKINS ON DECK. 
          >> ANNA ROZON. FEW FLEXIBILITY HAS EFFECTIVELY LOWERED PEDAGOGICAL STANDARDS, ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO ENTER CLASSROOMS WITHOUT ADEQUATE PREPARATION, DISABILITY SUPPORT, BILINGUAL LITERACY DEVELOPMENT, AND TRAUMA AND FOREIGN PRACTICES. 
          THIS SHIFT HAS HAD MEASURABLE CONSEQUENCES FOR STUDENTS WHO RELY ON FEDERALLY MANDATED PROTECTIONS FOR EQUABLE ACCESS. 
          THE OUTCOMES WE ARE SEEING ARE NO ANOMALIES. 
          THEY ARE SYMPTOMS OF SYSTEMATIC ISSUES CREATED BY REDUCED PREPARATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. 
          THESE FAILURES REFLECT EXACTLY WHY TEACHER CERTIFICATION FRAMEWORKS WERE ESTABLISHED TO UPHOLD THE EDUCATIONAL INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONAL RIGOR OF ENSURING THAT STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES ARE SUPPORTED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, COMPETENCIES, AND EMOTIONAL READINESS. 
          DUI EXEMPTIONS UNDER MINE THOSE FUNDAMENTAL SAFEGUARDS. 
          MY OWN CHILD'S EXPERIENCE ILLUSTRATES THIS SYSTEMIC FAILURE. 
          A DISABILITY RELATED SELF REGULATION STRATEGY, COUNTING OUT LOUD WAS REFRAMED AS MISCONDUCT. 
          [00:05:01]
THIS MISINTERPRETATIONS DID NOT ARISE FROM STUDENT BEHAVIOR, OR AROSE FROM ADULT MISUNDERSTANDING, ROOTED IN INSUFFICIENT TRAINING. 
          THIS MISALIGNMENT BETWEEN STUDENT NEEDS AND ADULT CAPACITY IS PREDICTABLE AND ENTIRELY PREVENTABLE. ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE. 
          THESE ISSUES REVEALED ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL WEAKNESSES. 
          EXPLANATIONS SHIFTED DEPENDING ON WHO WAS PRESENT. 
          DOCUMENTATION WAS INCONSISTENT ACROSS MEETINGS, NARRATIVES CHANGED BETWEEN ADMINISTRATORS. 
          THESE PATTERNS DO NOT SIGNAL CONFUSION, THEY SIGNAL THE ABSENCE OF COHERENT PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS, A SYSTEM THAT CANNOT PRODUCE CONSISTENT DOCUMENTATION CANNOT PRODUCE EQUITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, OR COMPLIANCE. 
          THIS DISTRICT CULTURE CANNOT BE USED TO NORMALIZE SYSTEMIC FAILURE. 
          DUI MAY OFFER LOCAL FLEXIBILITY, BUT IT DOES NOT OVERRIDE FEDERAL LAW. 
          IDEA, SECTION 504 ADA AND OCR GUIDELINES ARE EXPLICIT. 
          STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES MUST BE SUPPORTED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, NOT BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAPPEN TO BE AVAILABLE. 
          RIGHT NOW, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, INCLUDING BILINGUAL, DYSLEXIC LEARNERS ARE BEING PLACED IN THE CARE OF ADULTS, WHO LACK THE PREPARATION, TRAINING, AND REGULATORY UNDERSTANDING NECESSARY TO MEET FEDERAL PROTECTED NEEDS. 
          IT IS NOT A STAFFING ISSUE. 
          IT IS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE. 
          OUR CHILDREN DESERVE STABILITY, COMPETENCE, LEGAL COMPLIANCE IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS. 
          UNDER THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION OF DUI, THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING ANY OF THESE. [FOREIGN] 
          >> THANK YOU. WILL THE NEXT TWO SPEAKERS PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE, MIKE HOOK AND ROBERT CHICALLI, FOLLOWED BY MARY ANNE HOSKINS AND DANIEL FOREST. 
          >> GET RID OF GAYLE E. PITMAN, A CHURCH FOR ALL. 
          TEACH THE THREE HOURS. 
          WE CITIZENS, BOTH DIM AND REP, MUST UNITE TO NOT ONLY CORRECT THE DISD GOVERNMENT, BUT ALL OF OUR GOVERNMENTS. 
          THOSE HERE THIS EVENING WHO HAVE TAKEN BRIBES, PUT THAT BEHIND YOU. 
          UNITE. ONE NEW TEXAS LEGISLATIVE POLICY SAYS BASICALLY THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T MEDDLE IN THE PARENTAL RIGHTS REALM UNLESS GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DO SO. 
          I READ IT IN BLACK AND WHITE, AND DISD STILL NEGLECTS TEACHING THE THREE HOURS. 
          THEY ALSO DON'T REPORT TO US FORTHRIGHTLY AT ALL THE GRADES. 
          THEY ORCHESTRATE OUR CHILDREN'S EXPERIENCE, AND THEY AND THE DIVISION AMONG US FACILITATES THAT. 
          TO MY BLACK FELLOW CHRISTIANS. 
          DOES ISAIAH 118 SAY, "COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER?" IT DOES READ DUSTLY. 
          OUR BIBLE DOES NOT DELINEATE BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 
          READING, WRITING, AND MATH SKILLS, SET THE STAGE FOR HAPPY ADULTS. 
          LET'S GOVERN OUR DISD GOVERNMENT THAT WE MIGHT BE TRULY FREE PEOPLE. 
          A HANDFUL OF US SHOW UP. 
          LET'S KEEP SHOWING UP. 
          TALK TO OTHER PARENTS WHO STAY INTIMIDATED BY DISD GOVERNMENT AGENTS. 
          LET'S START WITH TRUTH ABOUT 12TH GRADE EXIT SCORES. 
          ROBERT RECOUNTS DATA FROM CHILDREN AT RISK. 
          THE 23/24 DATA IS TELLING, NORTH TEXAS APPARENTLY HAS 974 HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS EIGHT COUNTIES. 
          IT SEEMS THERE'S MERIT IN ROBERT'S COMMENTARY. 
          SIXTEEN OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS RANKED BELOW 71% OF THE ENTIRE MASS. 
          THEY ARE IN THE BOTTOM 29%. 
          MY FELLOW GRAY HAIRS. 
          THE YOUNGER BELIEVE LIES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BEEN TAUGHT. 
          LET'S CHANGE THAT. 
          WHY BELIEVE THAT THE JUDICIARY DECIDES THE POWER OF OUR WHOLE GOVERNMENT? IS THAT NOT THE GOVERNMENT DECIDING ITS OWN POWER? DOES DISD EXHIBIT POWER USURPATION BULLYING? I THINK IT DOES. THIS LADY HERE, SHE SHOWS UP REGULARLY. 
          I SHOW UP REGULARLY. 
          THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP. 
          ROBERT, YOU'RE REGULARLY SHOWING UP. 
          ALL THESE SEATS SHOULD BE FILLED. 
          WHERE ARE THE TEACHERS? I SEE MAYBE TWO OR THREE HERE TONIGHT? WE NEED TO GET THIS GOVERNMENT BACK IN CHECK. 
          THIS GLAD HANDING THEY GIVE THEMSELVES AT THE BEGINNING? NO MERIT. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. HOOK. YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED. 
          ROBERT CHICALLI, AND MARIANNE HOSKINS, FOLLOWED BY DANIEL FOREST AND BRENDA GRUMORTI ON DECK. ROBERT CHICALLI. 
          >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. 
          THIS SCHOOL BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH AT ALL. 
          [00:10:04]
THE LAST THREE MONTHS, I'VE BEEN GOING OVER TO COLLEGE READINESS SCORES FOR CHILDREN AT RISK? REGULAR HIGH SCHOOLS. 
          THERE'S 14FS, 4DS, AND 4CS. 
          I WANT TO SEE THAT INFORMATION, MS. ELIZALDE. 
          I WANT TO COME BACK NEXT IN TWO WEEKS TO SPEAK AGAIN. 
          YOU'RE COVERING UP BIG TIME. 
          ALSO, CAMPUS PERFORMANCE MEANS HOW THE SCHOOLS ARE RATED WITH OTHER POVERTY LEVEL SCHOOLS, 15 FS. 
          WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME YOU'RE SO GOOD IN 2024, YOU GOT ALL THOSE FS? AM I TELLING THE TRUTH OR NOT, MS. ELIZALDE? YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP. YOU REALLY DO. 
          THAT WAS A BUNCH OF BS EARLIER WHAT I HEARD. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, I'VE BEEN SAYING FOUR TIMES ALREADY. 
          I WANT 2025 CHILDREN AT RISK, COLLEGE READINESS, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND CAMPUS PERFORMANCE. 
          WHY DID YOU RECOGNIZE HOW BAD YOU'RE DOING WITH THE REGULAR HIGH SCHOOLS? THOSE ARE THE FOND OF RESULTS. 
          NO SECOND GRADE, THIRD GRADE, FOURTH GRADE. 
          WHY ARE YOU COVERING UP WHAT THE REAL SCORES ARE? I WANT YOU TO PROVE IT TO ME, MS. ELIZALDE, THAT I'M WRONG. 
          YOU NEED TO OPEN AND SPEAK UP BECAUSE ALL OF YOU ARE NOT DOING THE TELLING THE TRUTH. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP ON SAYING THIS ALL THE TIME, PEOPLE? THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH AT ALL, AND COVERED UP BECAUSE I KEEP ON SAYING IT AND THEY'LL SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT. 
          NEXT TIME AT 52 WEEKS, YOU NEED TO COME BACK BECAUSE I NEED HELP. 
          THEY'RE BS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, HOW GOOD DSC REALLY IS. 
          MAYBE SECOND OR THIRD GRADE, BUT NOT HIGH SCHOOL. 
          TELL US HOW YOU'RE DOING IN HIGH SCHOOL. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS BECAUSE THOSE ARE FINAL RESULTS ONE THROUGH 12. 
          THEY'RE TERRIBLE. DO I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN? I'M GOING TO KEEP ON REPEATING AND REPEATING, MS. ELIZALDE, YOU HAVE MY E MAIL ADDRESS. 
          GIVE ME THE INFORMATION, 2025, COLLEGE READINESS, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND CAMPUS PERFORMANCE. CAN YOU DO THAT? I'M GOING TO SAY IT AND SAY IT. WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT? THESE PEOPLE ARE FRAUD, MAN. 
          A BIG TIME FRAUD. 
          I WILL BE BACK. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. WITH THE NEXT TWO SPEAKERS, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE. 
          MARY ANNE HOSKINS AND DANIEL FOREST, FOLLOWED BY BRENDA GRUMORTI AND RENA HONI ON DECK. 
          MARY ANNE HOSKINS, NOT PRESENT. 
          DANIEL FOREST. FOLLOWED BY BRENDA GRUMORTI. 
          >> HELLO. MY NAME IS DANIEL FOREST. 
          MY DAUGHTER'S RIGHT THERE. SHE GOES TO CLARA OLIVER. 
          IT'S IN OAK CLIFF. MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE VENDORS THAT ARE CHOSEN TO DO THE SCHOOL PICTURES. 
          THE CHEAPEST PICTURE THESE KIDS CAN GET IS $17. 
          NEXT UP IS 20, NEXT WAS 25, THEN 30, THEN 40 AND 50. 
          SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE HOMELESS. 
          SOME OF THESE KIDS, THEIR PARENTS ARE LIVING ON 12, $1,300 A MONTH. 
          SOME OF THESE KIDS, THEIR PARENTS ARE STRUGGLING WITH DRUG ADDICTION. 
          IT'S NOT OKAY THAT THAT'S PROFITEERING. 
          JUST FOR THESE KIDS IMAGES. 
          WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS THAT CANADA? THEY DON'T GET TO HAVE THEIR KIDS IMAGES? FOR THE 40 AND THE $50 PACKAGE, YOU COULD GET THE DIGITAL IMAGE AND A SAFETY CARD. 
          WHY IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT GIVING SAFETY CARDS TO ITS MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS? IF THIS ISN'T SQUARED AWAY IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER, I WILL CONTACT EVERY SINGLE INDEPENDENT OUTLET BETWEEN HERE IN PLANO, FIND SOMEBODY TO WRITE A STORY AND CIRCULATE IT. 
          THIS IS PROFITEERING AND IF THE PROBLEM IS THE VENDOR REGULATION, HOW YOU APPROVE VENDORS OR WHATEVER, THAT NEEDS TO GET SQUARED AWAY BECAUSE IT'S NOT SERVING THE NEEDS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. WITH THE FINAL TWO SPEAKERS, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE, BRENDA GRUMORTI AND RENA HONI. 
          >> HELLO. HI. MY NAME IS BRENDA GRUMORTI. 
          I'M WITH ALLIANCE AFT. 
          TALKING ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT I RAISED LAST MONTH, THE STUDENT SURVEY. 
          I DID FEEL COMPELLED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE RESEARCH ABOUT THE STUDENT SURVEY CIRCULATED BY THE DISTRICT 2 TRUSTEES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. 
          ALONG WITH THE TI COMMITTEE OF ALLIANCE AT, I'VE COMPILED A REPORT WITH DISTRICT RESEARCH AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL CONFLICTING STUDIES THAT CALL THE UTILITY OF PAYING US BASED ON SURVEYS INTO QUESTION. 
          I READ THROUGH THE DISTRICT SURVEYS OR THE DISTRICT RESEARCH THAT TAUGHT STUDENT SURVEYS AND I DID SEE THAT, IN FACT, STUDENT SURVEYS, WHEN COMBINED WITH OTHER METRICS CAN BE USED TO INCREASE THE RELIABILITY OF PREDICTING TEACHER VALUE ADDED, 
          [00:15:01]
BUT THAT IS ON AVERAGE. 
          HOWEVER, NO STUDY SAYS THAT SURVEYS SHOULD DETERMINE TEACHER PAY. 
          ALSO, THERE'S NO NUANCE THERE. 
          THERE'S NO BREAKDOWN BY GRADE LEVEL OR BY SUBJECT AREA AND THERE'S VERY LITTLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF POTENTIAL NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF SAID STUDENT SURVEYS, WHICH OUR REPORT DIVES INTO. 
          THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF PAPERS ABOUT THE DOWNSIDES OF USING STUDENT SURVEYS AT VARIOUS GRADE LEVELS. 
          THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH RESEARCH OUT THERE FOR THE DISTRICT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. 
          BESIDES, EVEN IF ON AVERAGE, THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN SURVEY RESULTS AND VALUE ADDED. 
          IF ANY TEACHERS AT ALL ARE BEING UNDULY DENIED PAY RAISES BECAUSE OF THESE STUDENT SURVEY SCORES, THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT THE DISTRICT CAN RECTIFY BY REMOVING THIS FROM THE FORMULA THAT DICTATES OUR PAY. 
          WHY FORCE INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS TO FILE GRIEVANCES RATHER THAN SIMPLY REMOVING THIS FROM THE PAY FORMULA? MOREOVER, LAST MONTH, MY FELLOW TEACHER RAISED THE ISSUE OF BIAS, CITED STUDENTS WHO SAID CHING CHONG AND GO BACK TO HIS COUNTRY. 
          I USED TO WORK AT UPLIFT, WHICH SERVICES A SIMILAR POPULATION, AND I HAD A COLLEAGUE WHO WAS BOTH EAST ASIAN AND GAY. 
          HE WAS BULLIED FOR BOTH OF THOSE THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN STUDENTS FOUND A PHOTO OF HIM IN A SKIRT. 
          WHETHER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT UPLIFT OR DISD, STUDENTS CARRY BIAS WITH THEM EVERYWHERE THEY GO, AND WHEN WE MET WITH THE HCM EARLIER IN THE YEAR, THE TI COMMITTEE, WE MENTIONED THIS ISSUE OF BIAS AND WERE IMMEDIATELY TOLD THAT NO BIAS EXISTS IN THE STUDENT SURVEY RESULTS. 
          I REMEMBER THAT SO VIVIDLY BECAUSE I FOUND IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE. 
          I LOVE ALL OUR STUDENTS, BUT I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT THEY ARE SO ENLIGHTENED AS TO BE BEYOND ANY IMPLICIT BIAS. 
          ALSO, WHAT IS THERE TO GUARANTEE THAT THERE IS NO BIAS ANY YEAR? A 2019 STUDY OF AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOUND THAT THE GENDER AND CULTURAL EFFECTS GENERALLY DO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE SCORES OF WOMEN AND TEACHERS OF NON ENGLISH SPEAKING BACKGROUNDS ACROSS ALMOST ALL FACULTIES AND SUBGROUPS. 
          I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE SIMILAR RESULTS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DISD. 
          OVERALL, I ASK THAT YOU READ THROUGH OUR REPORT AND THE STUDIES INCLUDED, AND THEN SIT DOWN WITH THE LIN AFT TO REACH A COMPROMISE THAT MAKES THE SURVEYS WORK BETTER FOR TEACHERS RATHER THAN SIMPLY BEING USED AS A PUNITIVE MEASURE. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. RENA HONI. 
          >> TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT NELLA ZALD COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          I'M MARINA HONEY, PRESIDENT OF ALLIANCE AFT. 
          I'D JUST LIKE TO BEGIN THIS EVENING BY CONGRATULATING DR. 
          BRIAN LUSK ON HIS CAREER ADVANCEMENT AND HIS MOVE. 
          BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, DEAR SIR. 
          TEACHER EVALUATIONS, FAIR, ACCURATE, AND SUPPORTIVE. 
          SINCE THE LAST BOARD MEETING, YOU'VE RECEIVED RESEARCH ON STUDENT SURVEYS FOR THESE EVALUATIONS, AND YOU'VE JUST HEARD SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TONIGHT. 
          TEI ALLOWS RAPID ADVANCEMENT OF SALARY INCREASES AS A DRAWING PIECE BUT THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS THAT RESTRICT TEACHERS FROM ADVANCING IN WAYS, THE RESEARCH DOESN'T SUPPORT THE STUDENT SURVEYS AND THE SCHOOL WIDE STAR BEING USED AS SCORED COMPONENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS. 
          I'D LIKE TO SHARE A REAL EXAMPLE WITH YOU. 
          A PROFICIENT ONE TEACHER EARNS 64 OUT OF 65 POINTS ON TEACHER PERFORMANCE, NEARLY A PERFECT SCORE. 
          THEY GET 10/10 ON THE STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE, SHOWING EXCEPTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND MEASURABLE GROWTH FOR THEIR STUDENTS. 
          YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD MOVE THEM UP TO PROFICIENT 2, BUT IT DIDN'T BECAUSE OF TWO FACTORS ENTIRELY OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL. 
          THE SCHOOL WIDE STAR SCORED 6 OUT OF 10. 
          THE TEACHER CAN'T CONTROL THE CAMPUS DEMOGRAPHICS, POVERTY LEVELS, OR STAFFING SHORTAGES. 
          WHY IS THIS ON THE SCORECARD IF THE BEST TEACHER ON EARTH AND A HIGHLY INEFFECTIVE TEACHER, BOTH EARN 6 OUT OF 10 POINTS MERELY BECAUSE OF THE CAMPUS THEY'RE SERVING AT? THE STUDENT SURVEYS 7 OUT OF 15 POINTS, A TOOL THAT RESEARCH REPEATEDLY WARNED SHOULD NOT BE USED IN HIGH STAKES DECISIONS LIKE SALARY OR CAREER ADVANCEMENT. 
          THE SURVEYS ARE DONE ONCE AT THE VERY END OF THE YEAR. 
          BY THE TIME THE TEACHERS SEE THE RESULTS, IT'S TOO LATE TO ADJUST THEIR INSTRUCTION OR TO ADDRESS THE STUDENT FEEDBACK. 
          WORSE, USING A SINGLE SNAPSHOT MAKES THE MEASURE UNSTABLE AND UNRELIABLE, EXACTLY WHAT THE RESEARCHERS SAY NOT TO DO. 
          THERE'S A REASON THAT MULTIPLE SPOT OBSERVATIONS ARE DONE EACH YEAR BECAUSE WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT ONE DATA POINT ISN'T ENOUGH, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE STUDENT SURVEYS. 
          WITH TEI, THE SINGLE LATE YEAR SURVEY CAN DETERMINE WHETHER A TEACHER MOVES TO A HIGHER EFFECTIVENESS LEVEL CATEGORY, OR WHETHER THEY STAY STUCK LIKE THE EXAMPLE, DESPITE EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE IN EVERY PART OF THE JOB THEY ACTUALLY CONTROL. 
          LET'S WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO IMPROVE TEI BY SITTING DOWN TOGETHER. 
          [00:20:04]
LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW TO USE THOSE POINTS IN A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY. 
          I APPRECIATE YOU. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO SERVING OUR STUDENTS, AS WELL AS OUR TEACHERS. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. MR. PRESIDENT, THIS CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC FORUM. 
          >> THANK YOU, SPEAKERS. TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 5 CLOSED SESSION.

          THE BOARD TOOK NO ACTION IN CLOSED SESSION. 
          TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 6 REPORTS. 
          SPECIFICALLY, WE'LL BEGIN WITH 6.01, THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. SUPERINTENDENT. 
          >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT CARRION, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          I'M GOING TO DO THIS IN TWO PARTS. 
          I'M GOING TO JUST DO A FEW HIGHLIGHTS VERY SHORT AND BRIEF AND THEN I'M GOING TO ASK CHIEF BRENT ALFRED OF OUR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE TRUSTEE MEETINGS THAT YOU ALL HAVE SIGNED UP FOR FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE WITH REGARD TO THE PROCESS OF OUR EXPLORATION OF A POSSIBLE BOND. 
          LET ME BEGIN FIRST WITH. 
          WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CELEBRATE AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK AND SO THIS WEEK, WHEN WE CELEBRATED, THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS FROM OUR SUPPORT AND CLERICAL TEAM MEMBERS TO BUS DRIVERS, TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS, AND STUDENT SERVICE WORKERS. 
          WE ARE ALL DEDICATED TO ENSURING THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL. 
          AMERICAN EDUCATION BEGAN BACK IN 1921, UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE NAA AND THE AMERICAN LEGION. 
          A YEAR LATER, THE US OFFICE OF EDUCATION JOINED THE EFFORT AS A CO SPONSOR AND THE NATIONAL PTA FOLLOWED IN 1938, EACH DAY DURING THE AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK CELEBRATES A DIFFERENT ROLE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, TOMORROW HAPPENS TO BE SUBSTITUTE EDUCATORS DAY. 
          I HEARD EARLIER FROM ONE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS AND THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. 
          NOVEMBER IS A NATIONAL HOMELESS YOUTH AWARENESS MONTH, EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 3,900 DALLASISD STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 
          NUMBER IS LIKELY MUCH HIGHER AS STUDENTS ARE SOMETIMES FEARFUL OF COMING FORWARD AND ASKING FOR HELP. 
          TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS, THE DALLASISD HOMELESS EDUCATION PROGRAM, TRAINS STAFF, CONNECTS FAMILIES TO RESOURCES, AND ENGAGES STUDENTS TO KEEP THEM ON THEIR ACADEMIC AND CAREER PATHS.

          ALSO, THIS WAS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE NOVEMBER MONTH AND IT IS A TIME TO HONOR THE HISTORIES, TRADITIONS, AND RESILIENCE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF NORTH AMERICA, THREE EVENTS SUCH AS A NATIVE COLLEGE FAIR. 
          THIS FAIR FOCUSES ON TOPICS INCLUDING FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND BUDGETING, AND FEATURES REPRESENTATIVES FROM COLLEGES WITH THRIVING NATIVE OF AMERICAN STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS. 
          I ALSO HEARD SOME NOT CURRENT INFORMATION WITH 
          [00:25:01]
REGARD TO DALLASISD STUDENT SCHOOL PERFORMANCE. 
          DALLASISD HAS THE BEST MIDDLEN HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE STATE ACCORDING TO THE LATEST 2025 CHILDREN AT RISK REPORT, A TAX EDUCATION NONPROFIT. 
          CHILDREN AT RISK MEASURE SCHOOLS BASED ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AS YOU HEARD FROM OUR PREVIOUS SPEAKER, GROWTH AND COLLEGE READINESS. 
          THE REPORT ALSO EMPHASIZED GOLD RIBBON SCHOOLS WHICH SERVE MOSTLY LOW INCOME POPULATIONS, BUT STILL ACHIEVE STRONG ACADEMIC OUTCOMES. 
          I BELIEVE SOUTH OAK CLIFF IS THE SCHOOL THAT OBTAINED THE GOLDEN RIBBON, THE GOLD RIBBON SCHOOL. 
          OLD WRITTEN CATEGORY NORTH TEXAS SCHOOLS ALSO CAME OUT ON TOP BOASTING THE TOP HIGH IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS. 
          DALLASISD EMERGES AS THE STAND OUT DISTRICT IN CHILDREN AT RISK RANKINGS. 
          ACCORDING TO A PRESS RELEASE FROM CHILDREN AT RISK, QUOTE, NOT MY QUOTE, THE CHILDREN AT RISK, "DALLASISD CONTINUES TO STAND OUT AS ONE OF TEXAS'S MOST STABLE AND IMPROVING URBAN SCHOOL SYSTEMS." AS GREAT AS THAT IS TO HERE, I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE IMPROVING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS. 
          DESPITE SERVING ONE OF THE STATE'S LARGEST AND MOST DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATIONS, THE DISTRICT HAS SUSTAINED STEADY PROGRESS, INCREASING ITS AVERAGE TOTAL SCORE BY 3.2 SINCE 2019. 
          DALLASISD DOES NOT SUCCEED DESPITE OUR STUDENTS. 
          WE ARE PROUD OF OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. 
          WE DO IT WITH OUR STUDENTS. 
          THE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THEY COME FROM, THE RACE OR ETHNICITY THEY BELONG TO. 
          THAT'S THEIR SUPERPOWER OR THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY SPEAK AT HOME. 
          DALLASISD SUCCEEDS BECAUSE OF WHO OUR STUDENTS ARE. 
          WE SUCCEED WITH THEM. 
          THERE ARE CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH TEACHING STUDENTS WHO COME HERE FROM ABROAD, MAYBE NOT SPEAKING IN ENGLISH, BUT DALLASISD EXCELS, OUR TEACHERS, OUR PRINCIPALS, OUR SUPPORT TEAMS THEY EXCEL AT UNLOCKING THAT STUDENT'S POTENTIAL AND ABILITIES, AND THOUSANDS MORE STUDENTS IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          TO PARAPHRASE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, WE DON'T TEACH THESE KIDDOS BECAUSE IT'S EASY WE DO IT, IN FACT, BECAUSE IT'S HARD AND AT DALLASISD, WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT BETTER AT DOING HARD. 
          TEACHING THE CHILDREN OF DALLAS IS WHAT WE DO FOR A LIVING, AND WE DO IT FOR THEM NOT IN SPITE OF THEM. 
          WE ARE PROUD TO GET UP EVERY DAY AND SAY, WE GET TO DO THIS WORK. 
          OTHERS CAN ONLY DREAM OF SERVING OUR STUDENTS. 
          WE ACTUALLY GET TO DO IT. 
          OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT A DEFICIT TO BE OVERCOME. 
          THEY ARE CHILDREN OF UNLIMITED POTENTIAL, AND NOW I HOPE I DON'T HURT MYSELF BY GETTING OFF THE SOAP OF COURSE. 
          CONGRATULATIONS TO JUDGE BAREFOOT SANDERS LAW MAG, MARVIN E ROBINSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT SCHOOL OF HEALTH PROFESSION, STREAMING GARZA EARLY COLLEGE AT MOUNTAIN VIEW, WHICH WERE TOP TEXAS HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE GOLD RIBBON CATEGORY AND CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE IN DALLASISD, WHO KNOWS THAT WE SUCCEED BECAUSE OF OUR STUDENTS. 
          I'M GOING TO GO TO THEN. WE DID HAVE PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR 25 YEARS, DALLASISD, PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY HAS BROUGHT FROM THE BOARD ROOM TO THE CLASSROOM AND SO WE HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE AND PROVIDE A GLIMPSE INTO THE REAL WORLD CARE. 
          THANK YOU TO CHIEF LIBBY DANIEL AND HER TEAM FOR ONCE AGAIN, PUTTING ON JUST AN AMAZING, AMAZING, FAIR. 
          IT WAS GREAT AN EVENT. 
          EVERYTHING FROM PRE-K TO STEM WORLD TO KIDS PARTICIPATING IN DOING FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS, PARTICIPATING IN ROBOTICS. 
          THEY JUST, I THINK, TRULY ENJOY THE EVENT. 
          IN FACT, AT ONE OF OUR, LAST CONFERENCES, WE HAD STUDENTS FROM DALLASISD SERVE ON A PANEL. 
          ONE OF THE STUDENTS SAID, COULD WE HAVE A DISTRICT WIDE CARNIVAL LIKE WE DO DISTRICT WIDE DISCOVERED DALLAS. 
          THIS IS A STUDENT WHO WAS AN AMBASSADOR FOR HIS SCHOOL, AND HE WAS SAYING HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED INTERACTING WITH STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR OWN DISTRICT. 
          JUST LISTENING TO OUR STUDENTS, I THINK WE CAN LEARN A LOT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          I AM NOT GOING TO SAY IT'S BITTER SWEET, BECAUSE WE ARE TRULY JUST EXCITED FOR OUR COLLEAGUE, DR. BRIAN LUSK. 
          IT'S OFTEN BEEN OBSERVED THAT IT'S A SHAME EULOGIES ARE GIVEN AFTER SOMEONE PASSES, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR NICE SPEECHES ABOUT YOUR SELF 
          [00:30:01]
WHILE YOU CAN STILL HEAR IT WHILE YOU WERE ALIVE. 
          WELL, DR. LUSK ISN'T DYING, AND THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A WHOLE SPEECH, BUT IT'S TIME TO GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN CHOSEN AS THE SOLE FINALIST TO BE THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT OF EL PASO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          [APPLAUSE] CURRENTLY DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS AND ACADEMICS AT DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MY FRIEND, BRIAN LUSK WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SHARE CREDIT FOR THE SUCCESS THAT STUDENTS ENJOY AT DALLASISD AS ANY GOOD LEADER WOULD WITH ALL OF HIS TEAM. 
          THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I KNOW THAT BRIAN WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THE SUPERINTENDENCY IS A TEAM EFFORT. 
          HE HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR TEAM AND WHILE WE WILL MISS HIM, WE ALSO KNOW HE IS GOING TO GO AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO A GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEY WILL GO ALSO AND IMPROVE ON THE GREAT WORK THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED THERE. 
          BUT I KNOW BETTER. I HAVE KNOWN HIM SINCE I THINK WE BOTH BECAME EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS TOGETHER. 
          ACTUALLY, I MET BRIAN IN 2011 WHEN I WAS A MATH DIRECTOR, AND BRIAN WAS OPENING NEW TECH HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE REALLY BECAME GOOD COLLEAGUES IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
          I WAS ABLE TO HIRE BRIAN AS MY DEPUTY CHIEF WHEN I WAS CHIEF OF SCHOOLS. 
          BRIAN, YOU GET ME SO I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL GET YOU WHEN YOU'RE IN EL PASOISD. 
          BRIAN HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER THIS FAR IN DALLASISD. 
          THIS, IN FACT, IS HIS 30TH YEAR AND HE'S ACTUALLY EARNED A 30 YEAR PIN. 
          WE'RE SENDING HIM OFF TO DO 30 MORE YEARS. 
          [LAUGHTER] BRIAN ALWAYS REMINDS US THAT THIS WORK IS A TEAM SPORT. 
          THANK YOU, BRIAN FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT LEADER, A GREAT FRIEND, NOT JUST A FRIEND TO ME, BUT A FRIEND TO OUR STUDENTS, REPRESENTING THEM AND ENSURING THAT THEIR NEEDS WERE MET AND ALWAYS CHALLENGING US TO MAKE SURE ALL OUR KIDS TRULY HAD OPTIONS FOR COLLEGE CAREER OR MILITARY READINESS. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN. THEN LASTLY, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT. 
          FINALLY, DALLASISD WILL BE CLOSED NEXT WEEK FOR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, HOW THANKFULLY L AM FOR THE TRUSTEES ON THIS IS. 
          >> ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE SITTING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS TABLE RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US. 
          THERE IS NOT A SUPERINTENDENT, NOT EVEN YOU, BRIAN, IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS THAT CAN COUNT ON A BOARD LIKE THIS BOARD OR A TEAM LIKE THE TEAM THAT I HAVE THAT GET TO CHAMPION KIDS EACH AND EVERY DAY. 
          THERE'S NOT A SUPERINTENDENT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT GETS TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY WITH THIS EXECUTIVE TEAM THAT I HAVE. 
          WE ALL GATHER IN THE ROOM TOGETHER TWICE A MONTH, AND WE'RE ALL FOCUSED ON OUR WORK. 
          RIGHT NOW, CAN I JUST TELL YOU HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT WE DO GET TO DO THIS WORK TOGETHER, IT IS TRULY A BLESSING. 
          THANK YOU. NOW, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO CHIEF ALFRED. 
          NOW, YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN TWO MINUTES. 
          >> TWO MINUTES, I'M ON THE CLOCK. 
          IF YOU COULD BRING UP THE POWERPOINT. 
          THANK YOU, DR. DALZARE, PRESIDENT CARRION, AND BOARD MEMBERS. 
          THIS IS THE TEMPLATE WE'VE MADE, SO WE'RE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT ALL OUR BOND TRUSTEE LED MEETINGS. 
          THIS SLIDE, WE'LL OPEN THIS UP YOU HAVE AN INTRODUCTION. 
          STAFF WILL BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU OR TALK TO ANY OR ALL OF THESE POINTS. 
          VERY FIRST SLIDE, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOL FUNDING, ONE ON ONE JUST TO EXPLAIN TO THE AUDIENCE THAT SCHOOL BONDS ARE MADE FOR TWO POINTS, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, INTEREST AND SINKING, COMMON CALLED M&O AND I&S. 
          WE'RE GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DISTRICTS DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, LIKE SALARIES, SUPPLIES AND UTILITIES ALL COME FROM OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION BUDGET, AND OUR INS PAYS DEBT FOR NEW SCHOOLS AND RENOVATIONS, AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES OF A BOND PROGRAM, HOW 100% OF THAT IT'S USED. 
          FOR DSD WITHIN OUR SCHOOL BOUNDS, AND WE TYPICALLY USE THOSE TO FUND THESE LARGE CAPITAL PROGRAMS. 
          [00:35:05]
THEN I SHARED THIS SLIDE WITH YOU IN THE LAST BRIEFING. 
          OVERVIEW OF THE DISTRICT, LOOKING AT WHERE WE WERE IN 2018, 2019, PREPARING FOR THE 2020 BOND. 
          OVERALL BUILDING SCORE WAS 44 OUT OF 100. 
          THEN WE WILL ZOOM IN TO YOUR PARTICULAR DISTRICT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT DISTRICT 1. 
          EACH ONE OF THESE SLIDES WILL BE CATERED TO YOUR PARTICULAR DISTRICT WHERE WE'RE PROJECTING TO BE IN AT THE END OF THE 2020 BOND. 
          WE CALL IN THIS OUR CURRENT STATE. 
          THEN WE'LL SLIDE OVER TO WHERE WE'RE PROJECTING TO BE IN 2036 IF WE DO APPROVE THE 2026 BOND. 
          WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MOVE EVERYTHING INTO THE LIGHT GREEN OR DARKER GREEN CATEGORIES. 
          THIS PAGE DID COME ON. 
          THIS ONE, I THINK WE HAVE A GLITCH. 
          THERE'D BE A ONE PAGE. 
          YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH ONE PAGE THAT TYPICALLY COME OUT WITH BONDS, HAVE A PICTURE OF THE SCHOOL. 
          IT HAS THE PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK, THE BUDGET, YOUR ESA NUMBER, AND YOUR FCI NUMBER. 
          I'LL JUST GOES TO MY NEXT SLIDE. 
          >> THE OTHER ONE JUST IS A LARGER VERSION OF WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE HERE. 
          >> CORRECT. 
          >> ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE HERE. 
          YOU'LL HAVE THAT FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR SCHOOLS INDIVIDUALLY. 
          IT'LL SHOW THE SCORES THAT BRENT IS TALKING ABOUT NOW. 
          >> YES. THANK YOU, DR. DALZARE. 
          I'LL PROVIDE THAT LINK TO EACH ONE OF YOUR SCHOOLS IN YOUR DISTRICT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE IN YOUR INBOX. 
          IT'LL GO TO EXAMPLE, LIKE DISTRICT 1, A LIST OF FOLDERS HAS THE ONE PAGE, THE SCOPE. 
          THE SEI SCORE FOR THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT, JUST TALKS ABOUT THE LIFECYCLE OF THE BUILDING COMPONENTS AND REPAIR NEEDS, WHERE ESA IS MORE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL ADEQUACY, REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE SUITABILITY OF THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE AND CAPTURES THOSE GAPS, WHETHER THAN JUST COMPONENT COSTS OF A BUILDING. 
          ONE GENERATES A CERTAIN DOLLAR FIGURE, AND WE COMBINE THOSE TO GET OUR OVERALL POST COSTS AND OUR OVERALL BUILDING SCORE. 
          THIS WILL BE THE HEART, WE WANT A LOT OF INTERACTION AT THESE MEETING. 
          AGAIN, I'M TRYING TO COLLECT JUST ONE MORE DATA POINT TO BRING TO YOU TO THE OVERALL BOND WORKSHOP WE'RE BUILDING UP TWO. 
          >> THIS ONE AT THE LAST MEETING, WE GAVE YOU A LIST OF 10 QUESTIONS FOR THE PARENT SURVEY. 
          THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SCAN THIS QR CODE, EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE AND ANSWER THOSE 10 QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE IN THE LAST BOND PACKAGE. 
          THEN WE'LL OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE, AND THE STAFF WILL BE THERE TO SUPPORT AND TALK TO ALL THESE POINTS. 
          AFTER Q&A, WILL SHOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES AFTER THE MEETING, THEY CAN ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS OR SEND IT OR FOLLOW US ONLINE. 
          THIS IS THE FLYER. 
          WE'VE ALSO SENT OUT FOR EACH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS. 
          I BELIEVE IT'S ALSO EMBEDDED IN THE INVITATION WE SENT OUT, BUT IT ALSO HAS THE QR CODE TO THAT SAME SURVEY FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T ABLE TO ATTEND AND THAT CONCLUDES THE REPORT. 
          >> TRUSTEE SANDERS. 
          >> JUST WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE FULL PACKAGE PER EACH TRUSTEE DISTRICT? 
          >> WE'RE UPLOADING THOSE RIGHT NOW. 
          I'M TRYING TO PUT IT IN YOUR LINK. 
          I PLAN ON HAVING IT OUT TOMORROW. 
          >> GREAT. THANK YOU. 
          >> ONE SECOND, TRUSTEE FOREMAN, I KNOW YOU'RE ONLINE. 
          FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEE MICCICHE. 
          >> THANK YOU. IN THAT PACKAGE THAT TRUSTEE SANDERS YOU'RE REFERRING TO, IS THAT WHAT OUR PROPOSAL WOULD BE CURRENTLY FOR ALL THE SCHOOLS, OR IS THAT THE CURRENT ESA AND THE FCI FOR THOSE SCHOOLS? 
          >> IT'S THE ASSESSMENT. 
          >> THAT BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THE PROCESS. 
          >> IT ALL THE PROCESS. YES, SIR. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. I THINK THIS IS A BRILLIANT WAY TO GET US IN FRONT OF FOLKS. 
          I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING SET UP HERE. 
          GIVEN THAT WE WILL BE THE ONES PRESENTING IT, I DO HAVE SOME THOUGHTS AND FEEDBACK. 
          THIS IS MAYBE MORE FOR THE BOARD TO SEE IF THIS IS THE DIRECTION THE BOARD WANTS TO GO. 
          NUMBER 1, IF YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE 3, THE ONE THAT TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN M&O AND I&S, I'M WONDERING IF IT MIGHT BE WORTH PUTTING IN RIGHT AFTER THIS A SLIDE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS WHAT OUR M&O AND I&S TAX RATES HAVE BEEN SINCE 2019, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THEY'VE BEEN. 
          WE KNOW WHAT THEY'VE BEEN, BUT THE PUBLIC WOULD REALLY BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO POINT TO THE DECREASING M&O TAX RATE OVER TIME, AND THE INS, WHICH HAS BEEN EXACTLY THE SAME, 
          [00:40:02]
THAT WE HAVEN'T RAISED IT DESPITE HAVING THESE BONDS, BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS CONFUSING. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD POINT THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO MAKE IN CERTAIN AREAS. THAT'S ONE SUGGESTION. 
          THE SECOND ONE IS ON THE PAGE THAT TALKED ABOUT THE ESAS AND THE FCI. 
          JUST WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD ONE SENTENCE ABOUT WHAT THE FCA IS AND WHAT THE ESA IS? FCA IS THE FACILITIES CONDITION, IGNORING SCHOOL USE, ESA IS HOW EFFECTIVE THIS IS AS A SCHOOL BILL. 
          >> CORRECT. 
          >> THEN THE LAST FEEDBACK, THIS IS, I THINK, GENERALLY FOR THE BOARD. 
          MY SENSE OF THIS PARENT SURVEY IS WE WOULD EXPECT PARENTS TO TAKE THE PHONE OUT, FINISH IT, FILL IT OUT, GIVE US THE FEEDBACK, WHICH IS AWESOME. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE THE GOAL SETTING PROCESS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IS BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY GOT FOLKS IN THE ROOM TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR THAT. 
          I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD ADD A QUESTION OR A POINT HERE. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL THAT EVEN IF IT'S JUST ONE QUESTION, GENERALLY, THE ONE THAT CAME OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, NOT TO SAY IT'S RIGHT, IS AS WE MOVE FORWARD CONSIDERING THE BOND, WHAT ARE THE ONE TO TWO THINGS YOU REALLY WANT US TO KEEP IN MIND AS WE GO FORWARD? WE CAN SET IT UP THE SAME WAY, HAVE THEM WORK IN SMALL GROUPS, TALK ABOUT THAT, WRITE STUFF DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER THAT WE CAN COLLECT AFTERWARDS, AND THEN HAVE A CONVERSATION WHERE FOLKS SHARE THAT OUT. 
          THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO HEAR WHAT'S TOP OF MIND FROM MY COMMUNITY SO WHEN I COME TO THE 18TH MEETING, I CAN SHARE THOSE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE, ETC. 
          BUT THAT WOULD GIVE PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY TALK WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THEN SHARE, THEN WE ASK THEM TO DO THE SURVEY, AND THEN WE HAVE AN OPEN Q&A. 
          THAT WOULD JUST BE ONE SUGGESTION FOR THE WIDER BOARD TO CONSIDER BUT I THINK THIS IS AWESOME. 
          I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK PUTTING IN ON THAT. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> IF I CAN REPLY JUST QUICKLY. 
          WE CAN DO THOSE TWO SLIDES ADJUSTMENTS THAT'S EASILY DONE. 
          WITH REGARD TO THE SETUP, THEY'RE YOUR LEAD MEETINGS. 
          IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL US, [INAUDIBLE] AS YOU JUST DID, AND WE WILL MAKE SURE. 
          I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA SO WE WILL DO IT THAT WAY. 
          >> I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WILL BE DIFFERENCES BASED ON HOW INDIVIDUALS GO, BUT MY ONLY HESITATION IS FOR US TO TALK ABOUT THIS AS A BOARD BECAUSE I WOULD HATE FOR FOLKS IN ONE MEETING TO BE LIKE WHY DID WE GET TO GIVE OUR FEEDBACK HERE? I THINK THEY'RE HAVING SOME STRUCTURE IS GOOD, WHICH IS WHY I RAISE IT TO THE BOARD. 
          >> WE DID ADD ONE OPEN ENDED QUESTION TO THE SURVEY JUST FOR THAT SO THEY COULD FILL IN THAT FLANK. 
          >> TRUSTEE WEINBERG. 
          >> THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT SET OF SLIDES. THANK YOU. 
          I KNOW A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THE BOND PLANNING SINCE WE FORMED THE COMMITTEE IN FEBRUARY. 
          DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO ADD A SUMMARY OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE, A TIMELINE, OR SOME SUCH JUST SO THAT WE CAN ELUCIDATE ALL THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO CREATING THE DATA AND INFORMATION WE ARE BRINGING TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THEY CAN WEIGH IN ON IT? 
          >> YES, WE'LL DO. 
          >> GREAT. THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEE CURRIE. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO ADD WE TALKED I THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AT THE BOARD BRIEFING THAT WE EXPECT THIS TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON MOVING THOSE BARS OVER TO THE LIGHT GREEN AND THE DARK GREEN, BEING ABLE TO VISUALIZE WHAT WE PROJECT THAT TO BE, I THINK WOULD BE POWERFUL EITHER HERE OR AT SOME OTHER POINT IN TIME IN THE PROCESS. 
          THIS IS AN INFORMATION GATHERING PORTION, BUT I DO THINK THAT WHATEVER NUMBER WE COME UP WITH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE CERTAINLY HAVEN'T REACHED A CONCLUSION ON THAT. 
          IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE SMALL, AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHY A NUMBER THAT'S GOING TO BE FAIRLY LARGE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE DISTRICT, AND SO SHOWING HOW IT'S NOT JUST WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST, BUT WHAT WE PROJECT IT TO BE, I THINK WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL, EITHER A SLIDE HERE OR I'LL TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT ON WHETHER THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THESE MEETINGS OR LATER MEETINGS. 
          THEN ALSO ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF WE HAD A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SIZE BOND IN 2020 AND WE HAD PROJECTED AN AMOUNT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS WITH THAT BOND. 
          WE THEN DID ADDRESS THAT BOND QUITE A BIT OF THAT BUT THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE NUMBER IS ALSO NOW AGAIN, VERY LARGE. 
          BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC, ONE, JUST THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS GOING TO CREATE A LARGER DEFERRED MAINTENANCE BURDEN PLUS INCREASED COSTS AND CONSTRUCTION AND OTHERS. 
          BUT I JUST THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE PUBLIC ABOUT, HEY, IF YOU JUST DID THE LARGEST BOND IN THE HISTORY OF TEXAS, WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER LARGE NUMBER, AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE REALLY WELL EQUIPPED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE PUBLIC. 
          >> NOTED. 
          >> TRUSTEE MICCICHE. 
          >> I'M WONDERING IF WE'RE GOING TO DO AN OVERALL SUMMARY OF WHAT THE BOND ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAS DONE TO THIS DATE, AND JUST A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS THAT THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING THE TOTAL COST OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE BOND AND SO FORTH. 
          [00:45:04]
          >> THAT WASN'T OUR PLAN. 
          LET ME BACK UP JUST FOR A SECOND. 
          THE PLAN WAS REALLY PUTTING IT OUT THERE TO JUST GET THEIR FEEDBACK AS ANOTHER POINT TO THEN BRING YOU, HERE'S WHAT THE COMMITTEE SAID. 
          HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING JUST ABOUT NEEDS BUT WE CAN. 
          THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT WOULD PRECLUDE US FROM DOING THAT. 
          WE WERE TRYING TO BRING YOU ALMOST INDIVIDUAL DATA POINTS AND THEN YOU WOULD BRING THEM TOGETHER AS OPPOSED TO GIVING THEM THAT INFORMATION. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. 
          >> UNDERSTOOD. I DO APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON GETTING THE INPUT. 
          IT'S JUST A HARD THING TO DO WHERE YOU HAVE THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AND THE HORSE BEFORE THE CART ON THIS IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE PRESENTING INFORMATION ABOUT EACH PARTICULAR SCHOOL, AND WILL THE INFORMATION WE PRESENT ABOUT EACH PARTICULAR SCHOOL HAVE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT? ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO SAY, WELL, WHAT'S THE WHOLE PACKAGE GOING TO COST AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO TAXPAYERS? I WANT TO THINK THROUGH IT A BIT AS WELL, BUT IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION WHEN YOU'RE PRESENTING, IN MY CASE, PLANS FOR 22 SCHOOLS WITH DOLLAR AMOUNTS. 
          SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE ASKING, WELL, WHAT'S THE WHOLE THING GOING TO COST? EVEN IF WE CONTINUE TO TRY TO STRESS THE INPUT SIDE OF IT, WE HAVE TO BE READY WITH AN ORGANIZED RESPONSE AND A CONSISTENT RESPONSE AS TO WHAT THE WHOLE THING AS RECOMMENDED WOULD COST AND WHAT OTHER DECISIONS NEED TO BE MADE AND JUST THINK ABOUT THAT. 
          I'LL BE THINKING ABOUT IT AS WELL. 
          THEN WITH RESPECT TO FCI AND ESA, MAYBE AN EXPLANATION IN THE PRESENTATION AS TO WHAT THOSE TWO THINGS ARE WITH EXAMPLES BECAUSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE KNOW WHAT FCI IS, THE ESA IS A VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT AS WELL, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY WHO JUST WALKS INTO A MEETING IS GOING TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD FEEL FOR. 
          MAYBE A VERY CONCISE CONSISTENT EXPLANATION OF THOSE TWO THINGS IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO WOULD BE GREAT. 
          THEN ONE LITTLE SMALL THING THERE ON THE CHART WITH THE NUMBER OF BUILDINGS AND THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY'RE IN, IF YOU WOULD LABEL THE ACCESS ESPECIALLY THE ONE ON THE VERTICAL ACCESS. 
          I WAS LOOKING AT THE CHART, AND I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BUILDINGS ON THAT THAT ACCESS. 
          BUT THAT WOULD JUST MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT THE CHART TO NOT HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT ACCESS IS BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PLAN. 
          I DO LIKE THE EMPHASIS ON THE INPUT. 
          I'M IMAGINING THE QUESTION, WELL, HOW MUCH IS THIS WHOLE THING GOING TO COST? AS TRUSTEE CURRIE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL PICTURE, I THINK, IS PRETTY IMPORTANT AS TO WHERE THIS BOND FITS INTO THE 2020 BOND, BECAUSE IN PAST BOND ELECTIONS AND MEETINGS ABOUT THEM, IT'S LIKE, WELL, HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU STILL HAVE LEFT AS IF THAT MONEY HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED AND SPENT AND SO FORTH. 
          THE MORE WE CAN ANTICIPATE THE QUESTIONS AND HAVE THEM CONCISELY INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION, I THINK THE MORE ORGANIZED AND EFFICIENT THE OVERALL MEETINGS WILL BE. THANKS. 
          >> ANYONE THOSE AROUND ONE? 
          >> YES. 
          >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN. 
          >> THANK YOU. JUST A FEW THINGS I WANT TO START OUT WITH. 
          WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT INVITING THE PARENTS. 
          THESE ARE TAXPAYERS. 
          >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN, CAN YOU TURN YOUR SCREEN ON, PLEASE? 
          >> MY SCREEN IS ON. IT'S ON ON THIS SIDE. YOU CAN'T SEE ME? 
          >> WE CAN SEE YOU. 
          >> WE CAN SEE SEE. 
          >> I CAN SEE YOU. 
          >> WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE PARENTS, BUT ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO BE INVITING THE COMMUNITY AND THE TAXPAYERS WHO ARE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS BOND. 
          [00:50:05]
WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AS WE TALK ABOUT WHO WE ARE INVITING TO THE MEETINGS BECAUSE I WILL BE INVITING COMMUNITY PEOPLE WHO WILL HAVE SOME STAKE IN THIS. 
          THE OTHER THING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT DAN WAS TALKING ABOUT. 
          I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING FROM PEOPLE IS YOU HAD A 2020 BOND AND YOU HAD A 2015 BOND. 
          WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THOSE MONIES? PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT US TO BE ABLE TO VERIFY WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THOSE DOLLARS AND WHAT SCHOOLS THEY WENT TO. 
          THEN ON THE 2020 BOND, IF THERE'S MONEY THAT HAS NOT BEEN ALLOCATED OR WORK THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT ALSO. 
          I THINK AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE HAVE TO THINK, LIKE THE TAXPAYERS ARE GOING TO BE ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY IN THESE TRYING TIMES. 
          WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR A BOND. 
          AT THE MEETINGS, I DON'T PLAN TO LEAVE MY PARTICULAR MEETING. 
          I THINK THE DISTRICT SHOULD LEAVE THE MEETING. 
          I PLAN TO BE THERE TO HELP FILL QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE, BUT I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A DISTRICT LED SITUATION BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN PUTTING TOGETHER THIS PARTICULAR BOND. 
          FOR ME, WE JUST HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND BE READY TO ANSWER SOME OF THOSE TOUGH QUESTIONS, AS SOME OF THE OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE SAID THAT THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ASKING. THANK YOU. 
          >> ANY OTHER ROUND 1, IF NOT, THEN TRUSTEE SANDERS? 
          >> BUILDING ON A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE MENTIONED, WE PROBABLY TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AT THE BOARD BRIEFING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. 
          BUT CHIEF AVID, IF WE COULD HAVE A SLIDE THAT CALLS OUT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE STATE OF THE BOND MEETING THAT WE HAD. 
          IT WAS SUCH A POWERFUL STATEMENT, QUITE FRANKLY ON WHAT THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER ON. 
          A SLIDE OF THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. 
          INCLUDING, I ALWAYS FORGET THE NUMBER, 53, 54, 53 SCHOOLS. 
          THAT'S SINCE 2015, THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION FOR US TO SHARE TOO. 
          ACTUALLY, I WAS GOING TO ASK IF THE SURVEY, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO JUST BE PARENTS, , CAN WE JUST CHANGE THE NAME? 
          >> WE'LL CHANGE YOUR NAME. IT ASK ON THE FIRST QUESTION, WHO ARE YOU PARENT SURVEY COMMUNITY MEMBER? 
          >> COOL. BECAUSE I WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO SAY EVERYBODY NEEDS TO DO IT. 
          I'M NOT WRONG ON THAT. GOOD DEAL. 
          I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE FOREMAN. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE, PARENTS, COMMUNITY, EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO OFFER THEIR INPUT. 
          I THINK THIS IS A REALLY STRONG DRAFT, AND A COUPLE OF THESE REVISIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S GOING TO HELP FACILITATE, I THINK A GOOD CONVERSATION, MAYBE EVEN GENERATE SOME EXCITEMENT. 
          >> TRUSTEE MACKEY. 
          >> THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK TO A POINT OF INFORMATION, TRUSTEE MICCICHE, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HEARD TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          BECAUSE I ALSO HEARD DR. ELIZALDE'S POINT. 
          WERE YOU REFERRING TO SHOWCASING THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS BOND TASK FORCE OF 100 PLUS PEOPLE THAT WE SAW IN THE LAST WHATEVER, AND KIND OF THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING, OR WERE YOU ASKING ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TASK FORCE TO BE IN HERE? 
          >> WELL, I THINK IT'S A BIT OF BOTH THAT WE WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THESE 22 SCHOOLS NEED THESE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WHAT DOES THE OVERALL PICTURE LOOK LIKE? MY POINT IS, HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT WE'VE GIVEN THEM A WHOLE BUNCH OF DETAIL WITHOUT GIVING THEM THE OVERALL PICTURE? 
          >> GOT YOU. THEN I AM CONFUSED. 
          GOING BACK TO WHAT I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, DO WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL AT THIS TIME? 
          >> WE HAVE AN ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE AS ONE DATA POINT, THE ONE PAGERS. 
          IT PROJECTED THE NEEDS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. 
          THAT'S WHY IT CAME UP WITH $1 [INAUDIBLE] AND IF IT MET THE ESA STANDARDS OR NOT. 
          >> GOT YOU. THAT'S THE CONDITION AND THE NEEDS AND WHAT WE WOULD HOPE TO DO WITH THIS, BUT WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL AND WHAT WE WOULD HOPE SPECIFICALLY DO BASED ON WHAT THAT COMMITTEE HAS SHARED, RIGHT? 
          [00:55:02]
          >> IT DOES NOT COVER SOME OF THE NEEDS, AS FAR AS YOU SIDED WITH OPTION BETWEEN, THE NEW SCHOOL. 
          WHAT SCHOOL SHOULD BE REPLACED OR THE [INAUDIBLE] AND THE TURF, SOME OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE. 
          >> AND I GET THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT PACKAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          THAT WAS THEIR JOB TO WORK ON THAT AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, WHICH WE STILL HAVEN'T SEEN YET AS TRUSTEES. 
          >> THAT'S RIGHT. THEY CAME UP WITH THEIR PRIORITIZATION, BUT WE HAVE NOT BROUGHT YOU THAT INFORMATION. 
          >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET HERE. 
          WHAT I'M HEARING, GOING BACK TO YOU, DAN, IF YOU GOT THOUGHTS HERE IS, I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF WE WERE PRESENTING WHAT THEY HAD SHARED THAT THEY WANT. 
          BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THAT. I DON'T THINK WE SEEN THAT UNTIL DECEMBER 18. 
          THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS. I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF WE WERE SHARING THAT. 
          I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, THOUGH, TO SAY, WE HAVE THESE 108 PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WORK OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THEY'VE MET A BUNCH OF TIMES. 
          THEY ARE GIVING THEIR SET OF FEEDBACK, AND WE ARE HERE TONIGHT ASKING YOU FOR YOURS AS A WAY TO FRAME IT. 
          THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME, AND I THINK WE ARE MISSING THAT. 
          TRUSTEE MICCICHE, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS AROUND WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO. 
          >> I THINK THAT'S A HELPFUL WAY TO THINK THROUGH IT, BUT TO DESCRIBE THE ASSESSMENTS AS ASSESSMENTS, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE ONCE YOU PUT OUT THOSE ASSESSMENTS, ARE WE IN EFFECT SAYING THAT THESE ARE THE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS WE NEED TO MAKE, OR THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED ALL OF THE ASSESSMENTS, AND ARE THEY RECOMMENDING A SMALLER UNIVERSE OF CHANGES THAN WHAT IS ON THE ASSESSMENTS? IF A PARTICULAR SCHOOL HAS ASSESSED NEEDS THAT TOTAL $6 MILLION, IS THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO $5 MILLION? 
          >> WE GAVE THE COMMITTEE OPTIONS A, B AND C, AS FAR AS ON THE RENOVATION SIDE, WHICH EACH ONE OF THESE ASSESSMENTS REFERRED TO. 
          THAT ESA COMPONENT WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS WITHIN IT THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO EXPAND, LIKE THE SIZE OF A CLASSROOM, AND WE COULD DO JUST ONLY FCI OR ONLY ESA. 
          THEY DID LOOK AT THOSE ITEMS AND VOTED ON IT. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO THINK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS ABOUT ONE OF THOSE ONE PAGES THAT SAYS, THIS SCHOOL NEEDS $6 MILLION WORTH OF WORK. 
          THEN GET A QUESTION, WELL IF WE DO THIS BOND, WILL ALL THAT WORK BE DONE? 
          >> I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT. MAYBE THERE'S SOME WAY WE JUST NORM ON FRAME IT. 
          MAYBE YOU ALL CAN HELP US WITH THIS. 
          IT'S LIKE, THIS IS THE NEED. 
          WE HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE SCOPE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, AND THAT'S WHY YOUR VOICE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO FILL OUT THIS SURVEY. 
          AGAIN, THE DANGER THAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID IS IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT FEELS LIKE, HEY, WE'VE GOT ALL THESE ASSESSMENTS, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND I'M IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SAYING, WE HAVEN'T MADE THAT DECISION YET. 
          THAT'S WHAT DECEMBER 18 IS FOR. THIS IS JUST THE NEEDS. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CRISP AND CLEAR ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. YOU CAN CONTINUE ON THE REST OF MY TIME. 
          >> DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT? 
          >> IT IS A RESPONSE TO THAT. 
          IS IT FAIR TO SAY AS WE DO THE PRESENTATION THAT THESE ARE THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE ASSESSED AT ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, AND WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A BOND THAT COVERS ALL OF THESE NEEDS. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR INPUT AS TO HOW MUCH OF THESE NEEDS WE SHOULD BE COVERING IN A BOND PROGRAM. 
          BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE TO SOLVE EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THESE ASSESSMENT LISTS. 
          >> I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT. 
          IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD, IF WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LESS SCOPE AND A LOWER BOND OR MORE SCOPE AND MORE BOND, WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER AS A VOTER AND A CONSTITUENT? I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY INTERESTING. 
          PICK WHICH WAY YOU'D LEAN ON THAT. 
          WE COULD GET MORE, BUT IT'D BE A LARGER BOND NUMBER OR LESS? THAT'D BE REALLY INTERESTING. 
          >> THERE ARE PRIORITY QUESTIONS IN THE SURVEY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO GATHER SO WE CAN BRING IT TO YOU, SAY, THESE WERE THE PRIORITIES TO HELP DRIVE THAT DECISION POINT. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION. 
          [01:00:01]
          >> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          >> GO AHEAD, TRUSTEE FOREMAN. 
          >> THANK YOU. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW FROM PREVIOUS BONDS IS THAT ON THE FACILITIES TASK FORCE, WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAD DIFFERENT EXPERTISE. 
          THAT WOULD BE FROM AN ARCHITECT OR CONSTRUCTION WORKER AND THOSE THINGS. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LIST OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT SERVED ON THIS TASK FORCE TO TRY TO GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXPERTISE WAS BOUGHT OTHER THAN THE DISTRICT'S EXPERTISE, SO WHEN I'M TALKING TO THE COMMUNITY, I CAN BE ABLE TO SAY THAT WE HAD OTHER INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF DISTRICT PEOPLE WHO HAD SOME EXPERTISE IN THESE SPECIFIC AREAS. 
          CAN I GET A LISTING OF EVERYBODY THAT SERVED, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THEIR EXPERTISE, COULD YOU PLEASE PUT THAT ON THERE ALSO? 
          >> WELL DO. 
          >> TRUSTEE CURRIE. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO THANK TRUSTEE MACKEY AND TRUSTEE MICCICHE FOR HELPING CLARIFY, BECAUSE I THINK I WAS SOMEWHAT CONFUSED AS WELL. 
          JUST TO SAY TO YOU CHIEF AVID, A LOT OF THE COMMENTS I WAS MAKING WAS ABOUT HOW WE GO AND EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO THE COMMUNITY AND HOW IT FITS INTO THE BROADER SENSE. 
          BUT AS BOTH TRUSTEE MACKEY AND TRUSTEE MICCICHE POINTED OUT, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO EXACTLY YET. 
          THAT'S WHAT THE WHOLE POINT OF DECEMBER 18 IS. 
          THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT FOR ME SO THAT I NORM THAT WHEN WE'RE USING YOUR TERMINOLOGY. 
          GO SPEAK TO THE COMMUNITY ON DECEMBER 1ST. 
          I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THEN THAT, I THINK MY REQUEST MAY BE IMPORTANT AT SOME POINT, BUT I LEAVE IT TO YOUR JUDGMENT AS TO WHETHER IT'S NECESSARY FOR THESE SETS OF MEETINGS. 
          >> YES, SIR. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO RESET AND REFRAME THE PURPOSE OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO, BECAUSE I THINK I WASN'T CLEAR IN HOW WE PRESENTED THIS EVENING. 
          THE PURPOSE IS WE HAVE DONE THESE ASSESSMENTS. 
          PROFESSIONALS HAVE DONE THE ASSESSMENT OF AN FCI. 
          HOW OLD IS THE ROOF? IS IT LEAKING? IS HVAC. 
          WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT FCI, I THINK ABOUT SQUARE FOOTAGE, I THINK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE EXTERIOR OF THE INTERIOR, SO AGE OF THE FACILITY, AGE OF EQUIPMENT. 
          WE'VE HAD PROFESSIONALS DO THAT, AND THEY'VE BEEN UPDATED. 
          THEN WE DID ESAS, WHICH IS RELATIVELY NEW. 
          THOSE ARE THE EDUCATIONAL SUITABILITY, WHICH IS, I'M GOING TO DO MY ANALOGY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A KITCHEN, BUT I'M GOING TO BE PART OF WHAT I DO IN MY HOME IS I LIKE TO ENTERTAIN. 
          I DON'T, BUT I LIKE TO ENTERTAIN. 
          I NEED A DOUBLE SINK. 
          I NEED A TRIANGULAR FORM, I NEED DOUBLE OVENS. 
          IT'S SUITABILITY TO WHAT THE PURPOSE IS. 
          AN ART ROOM NEEDS TO BE BUILT TO BE AN ART ROOM, NOT THIS IS THE READING ROOM THAT WE CONVERTED INTO THE SCIENCE LAB. 
          THEN WE NEED A SCIENCE LAB. 
          THAT'S THE ESAS, IF YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY, IS THE SUITABILITIES. 
          OUR INTENT HERE ON THESE ONE PAGERS, THEY WERE UP FOR A MOMENT. 
          THERE THEY ARE, WAS BACK TO, I THINK THE CLARIFICATION HERE IS, THIS IS WHAT THE BUILDINGS NEED. 
          AS OBJECTIVELY AS WE CAN TELL YOU, THIS IS WHAT EVERY BUILDING IN TERMS OF SCHOOLS NEEDS ARE. 
          NOW, WE HAVEN'T PRIORITIZED THEM, WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING THAT EVERY ONE OF THESE SAYS. 
          AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE PRESENTING THESE IS WE WOULD LIKE TO GET FROM YOU ALL, IF YOU HAD TO MAKE CHOICES, WHICH WE ALL HAVE TO DO IS WHAT FEEDBACK WOULD YOU GIVE US IN TERMS OF HOW WE START PRIORITIZING SO THAT THEN WE CAN GATHER THAT INFORMATION FROM EACH OF THE TRUSTEE DISTRICTS, AND THEN USE THAT AS ANOTHER DATA POINT ALONG WITH, WELL, HERE'S WHAT THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND THE LARGER COMMITTEE CAME BACK AND SAID, HERE'S HOW THEY WOULD PRIORITIZE IT. 
          HERE'S WHAT YOU HEARD FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS, TAXPAYERS, PARENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND HERE'S ANOTHER DATA POINT. 
          THAT WAS THE REASON WE WEREN'T SAYING THIS IS HOW MUCH WE THINK THE BOND WOULD BE WAS WE WERE TRYING TO SEPARATE. 
          I WASN'T CLEAR, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION HELPED ME, AND SO WE CAN FRAME IT ANY WAY YOU ALL WANT TO. 
          I KNOW WE CAN EASILY ADD AN ACTIVITY PORTION, AND WE'RE PREPARED TO LEAD THESE IN THE COMMUNITY, AS TRUSTEE FOREMAN MENTIONED. 
          NO, WE HAVEN'T PRESENTED ANY OF THIS, 
          [01:05:01]
SO WE'RE ABSOLUTELY PREPARED TO DO THAT, IN ANY WAY ANY OF THE TRUSTEES WANT US TO DO. 
          I THINK THAT WAS THE WAY WE WERE WORKING TO TRY TO DO THIS. 
          >> I HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT, PLEASE. 
          >> TRUSTEE YVONNE. 
          >> WHILE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE SCHOOL'S NEEDS. 
          BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN, LIKE IT AND THOSE THINGS. 
          OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          BUT I WANT US TO STAY AWARE OF THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT. 
          IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY BE A HEAVY IMPACT ALSO. 
          >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEES, ANYTHING ELSE? SINA, THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUPERINTENDENT, FOR THAT UPDATE. 
          TRUSTEES NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 6.02 COMMITTEE REPORTS. 
          ARE THERE ANY COMMITTEE REPORTS? 
          >> YES. 
          >> TRUSTEE WEINBERG. 
          >> THANK YOU. PRESIDENT CARREON. 
          WE HAVE AN AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT. 
          THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MET ON NOVEMBER 12, 2025. 
          ATTENDEES INCLUDED ED RAMOS, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, DISTRICT CHIEF TRUSTEE, SARAH WEINBERG, ME, DISTRICT 1 TRUSTEE, LANCE CURRY, DISTRICT 6 TRUSTEE, JOYCE FORMAN, AND OUR COMMUNITY ADVISORS, CHRIS LEWIS, LIVE AND IN PERSON, AND MANNY TORRES ATTENDED VIRTUALLY. 
          WE HAD A CLOSED SESSION WHERE NO ACTION WAS TAKEN, AFTER WHICH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RETURNED TO OPEN SESSION. 
          FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES PRESENTED THE REPORT ON THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL UPDATE. 
          THEN OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS, WHITLEY PENN THE PRESENTED THE REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 24-25 ERATE PROGRAM AUDIT. 
          THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AUDIT, AND THE RESULTS OF THEIR TESTS DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY INSTANCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE OR ANY OTHER MATTERS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED UNDER GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS. 
          THEN INTERNAL AUDIT REPORTED ON THE STATUS OF THE DISTRICT HOTLINE, THE AUDIT PLAN, AND THE SUFFICIENCY OF DEPARTMENT RESOURCES, AS WELL AS THE RESULTS OF THEIR INTERNAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT. 
          FOLLOWING THE REPORTS, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TOOK ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. FIRST, THE MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 10, 2025, AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING WERE APPROVED. 
          THEN OUR AUDIT FINANCIAL AUDITORS, WEAVER AND TIDWELL, PRESENTED THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025. 
          THE AUDITORS PROVIDED, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, AN UNMODIFIED AUDIT REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 
          THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES AND NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES TO NOTE. 
          THEY DID NOTE THAT THE REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE WILL BE FINALIZED WHEN THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET FINALIZES THE 2025 OMB COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT. 
          IT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN. 
          THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MOVED TO FORWARD THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR AND JUNE 30, 2025, TO THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR APPROVAL. 
          AFTER THAT, IT WAS A BIG MEETING. 
          THE AUDIT COMMITTEE ACCEPTED, MADE FINAL THREE INTERNAL AUDIT REPORTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD, WHICH INCLUDED A FACILITY'S ACCESS AUDIT, A FACILITY USE AGREEMENTS AUDIT, AND A CONTINUOUS AUDIT ON PAYROLL AND DISBURSEMENTS FOR JANUARY 1 OF 2025, THROUGH JUNE 30 OF 2025. 
          LASTLY, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE CONSIDERED AND TOOK ACTION TO EXTEND IMPLEMENTATION DATES FOR FOLLOW-UP RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. 
          >> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE. TRUSTEES, WITH THAT, WE'LL TURN TO 6.03 TRUSTEE REPORTS, BEGINNING WITH THE TRUSTEE FOR DISTRICT 1, TRUSTEE CURRIE. 
          >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT CARREON. I'M PROUD TO PROVIDE THE DISTRICT 1 REPORT. 
          NOW, IT'S NOT THE DYNAMIC D5 REPORT. 
          THERE SHOULD BE THE POWER 5. 
          I GOT THIS CONFUSED. IT'S NOT THE DYNAMIC D1 REPORT. 
          IT'S JUST THE DISTRICT 1 REPORT. 
          THE FIRST DISTRICT [LAUGHTER]. 
          DISTRICT 1. 
          FIRST, I WANT TO THANK OPERATION WARM AND FEDEX FOR GIFTING THE STUDENTS AT NATHAN ADAMS ELEMENTARY WITH NEW JACKETS. 
          THIS IS A MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIP THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE COMPASSION AND COLLABORATION THAT MAKE OUR DALLAS ISD COMMUNITY SO SPECIAL. 
          I AM INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE KINDNESS OF FEDEX AND FOR OPERATION WARM. 
          THEY HELPED ALMOST 400 STUDENTS STAY WARM AND CONFIDENT BY PROVIDING JACKETS TO THEM. 
          A HUGE THANK YOU TO THEM. 
          I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE OUTSTANDING THIRD-GRADE CHESS STUDENTS FROM PRESTONWOOD MONTESSORI FOR PROUDLY REPRESENTING THEIR CAMPUS AND TAKING HOME FIRST PLACE IN THE DISTRICT'S FALL CHESS TOURNAMENT. 
          UNDER THE DEDICATED LEADERSHIP OF MR MENIQUEZ, THESE YOUNG SCHOLARS DEMONSTRATED FOCUS, STRATEGY, AND REMARKABLE TEAMWORK. 
          [01:10:01]
THIS VICTORY IS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR HARD WORK, AND WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENT. 
          I ALSO WANT TO THANK ED WALKER MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR HOSTING THIS YEAR'S FIFTH-GRADE DEBATE WORKSHOP. 
          THE EVENT BROUGHT MORE THAN 355TH GRADERS FROM 58 DALLAS SISD SCHOOLS TOGETHER TO BUILD THEIR PUBLIC SPEAKING AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. 
          AS A FORMER DEBATER MYSELF, I AM VERY EXCITED WHENEVER I GET TO READ ABOUT DEBATE NEWS. 
          THIS INTERACTIVE EVENT GAVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE DEBATE, TO COLLABORATE WITH THEIR PEERS, AND TO PRACTICE SHARING THEIR IDEAS CONFIDENTLY. 
          BY THE END OF THE DAY, STUDENTS WERE DELIVERING FULL SPEECHES THAT INCLUDED CLAIMS, EVIDENCE, AND REASONING. 
          THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO AIDED IN THE MEANINGFUL STEPS IN BUILDING THEIR SKILLS AS YOUNG COMMUNICATORS. 
          ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL LIBERTY BELLS FOR EARNING A DIVISION 1 RATING AT THE TEXAS DANCE EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION'S FALL ASSESSMENT. 
          THEN I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THE LEADERSHIP CORPS OF CADETS AT MARSH MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR ONCE AGAIN OPENING THEIR SCHOOL, AND IN PARTICULAR, THE MUSEUM PUT ON BY THE MARSH MILITARY MUSEUM, PUT ON BY THE STUDENTS AT MARSH MIDDLE SCHOOL ON VETERANS DAY. 
          ON VETERANS DAY, YOU CAN GO INTO THAT BUILDING. 
          YOU WILL BE WALKED AROUND BY STUDENTS OF THE LEADERSHIP CORPS TO SHOW YOU DIFFERENT MEMORABILIA THAT THEY HAVE COLLECTED MILITARY ARTIFACTS. 
          IT'S A REALLY NEAT THING YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO. 
          I DID VERIFY BEFORE THE MEETING TODAY THAT IT HAPPENED TO BE THE MUSEUM WAS CREATED BY OUR VERY OWN CHIEF BATES A FEW YEARS BACK, WHO TAUGHT AT MARSH MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR 15 YEARS, 16 YEARS, SOMEWHERE IN THAT RANGE. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF BATES, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THERE. 
          YOUR LEGACY THAT YOU BUILT THERE IS STILL GOING EACH AND EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU. 
          THE DISTRICT 1 AND DISTRICT 2, BUT I'LL LET SARAH TALK ABOUT HER PART OF IT, AS WELL. 
          A BOND PRESENTATION WILL BE ON DECEMBER 1 AT CORE INSTITUTE NORTH. 
          WE'RE EXCITED AND THANK YOU, TRUSTY WEINBERG, FOR SHARING THAT PRESENTATION WITH ME, AND LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE BOND AND TO HEAR THEIR INPUT. 
          THEN, FINALLY, JUST HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE. THANK YOU. 
          I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR THE WONDERFUL BOARD, ALL EIGHT OF YOU, NINE OF US, THAT WE GET TO SERVE TOGETHER TO TRY TO HELP KIDS. 
          THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR WHAT YOU DO EVERY SINGLE DAY, WAKING UP TO TRY TO MAKE THE LIVES OF KIDS BETTER. 
          HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE. THAT ENDS MY REPORT. 
          >> TRUSTEE WEINBERG. 
          >> THANK YOU, DISTRICT NUMBER 1. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR MEETING TOGETHER, AND IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME YOU WERE A DEBATER. 
          I'M GLAD WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE TABLE [LAUGHTER]. 
          I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCIPAL GARRETT DEALEY, DRAGONS FOR WINNING THIS FALL DISTRICT 2 ATTENDANCE AWARD. 
          EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MICHAEL JACKSON AND I HAD FUN PRESENTING THE AWARD TO MISS MATILI'S CLASS. 
          THIS AWARD HIGHLIGHTS THE DEDICATION OF THE STUDENTS, THE TEACHERS, THE ADMINISTRATION, THE EVENT COORDINATORS, AND ALL THEY DO TO KEEP SHOWING UP. 
          ALSO, I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL'S ROCKET LEAGUE E SPORTS TEAM, WHO TOOK FIRST PLACE AT THE DISTRICT'S E-SPORTS TOURNAMENT.

          BOTH TEAMS WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE DALLAS COACHES ASSOCIATION FOR THEIR REMARKABLE PERFORMANCES. 
          IT WAS REALLY FUN TO WATCH THEM COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER. 
          THOSE ARE SOME FIERCE ATHLETES. 
          WE AND DISTRICT 2 ARE PROUD OF THEIR SKILL, DEDICATION, AND TEAMWORK. 
          MORE WOODROW NEWS, THEIR SHOW CHOIR DELIVERED AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AT THE STATLER HOTEL, REPRESENTING DALLAS ISD, IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE SUPERINTENDENTS ACROSS TEXAS, AND A SPECIAL RECOGNITION GOES TO CHOIR MEMBERS WHO ADVANCED TO ALL-REGION CHOIR AND PARTICIPATED IN THE ALL-STATE CLINIC AT DALLAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY.

          LASTLY, I WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO OUR DISTRICT 3 SCHOOLS THAT ARE STEPPING UP AS FOOD DISTRIBUTION SITES OVER THE THANKSGIVING BREAK.

          >> WHEN VISITING QUEER ELEMENTARY FOR A BOOK ON VINDING MACHINE VEILING. 
          THEY CAME UP WITH A SLOGAN FOR D4.

          OF COURSE, THEY WANTED TO HAVE A PARADE. 
          [01:20:02]
I LOVE PARADES. WE PARADED AROUND THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. 
          WE HAD THE BAND, THE DANCERS, EVERYONE, CHEERING AND CLAPPING FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT. 
          IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. 
          THEY ENJOYED THE TIME, AND A LOT OF CHEERING HAPPENED ALL OVER CAMPUS.

          IT'S A BIG DEAL. THIS INITIATIVE REMINDS US THAT IT DOESN'T JUST STOP AT THE CLASSROOM. 
          IT THRIVES WHEN FAMILIES HAVE THE TOOLS TO KEEP LEARNING AT HOME. 
          NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO PINKSTON HIGH SCHOOL AND HOW THEY'VE TAKEN CHARGE OF PICKLEBALL. 
          THAT'S RIGHT, PICKLEBALL.

          TALENTED AND GIFTED, MAGNET, WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE THE TRUSTEE DISTRICT CHAMPION AWARD. 
          IT WAS FOR THEIR ATTENDANCE FROM MARCH THROUGH MAY OF LAST YEAR, BUT I WAS EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND DELIVER THAT AWARD TO OUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS FOR THEIR CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUITY IN SHOWING UP. 
          MY SECOND TO LAST THING IS WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT CHILDREN AT RISK. 
          I WISH THE PEOPLE WHO CARE SO HARD ABOUT THAT LIST. 
          WE'RE STILL HERE WITH US TODAY.

          THE EVENT WAS ALL ABOUT BRINGING FAMILIES AND SCHOOL COMMUNITIES TOGETHER, AND IT DEFINITELY DID THAT. 
          I'D ALSO LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE SUNSET HIGH SCHOOL BISONETS DANCE TEAM FOR RECEIVING A UNANIMOUS DIVISION 1 RATING FROM THE JUDGES AT THE RECENT UIO PILOT ASSESSMENT. 
          THE TEAM WENT UP AGAINST 30 DIFFERENT TEAMS, AND THEIR OUTSTANDING RATING PROVES HOW MUCH SUNSET HIGH SCHOOL SHINES.

          TRUSTEES, THE FOLLOWING MINUTES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL. 
          SUPERINTENDENTS EVALUATION AT HOC COMMITTEE MEETING FROM DECEMBER FROM OCTOBER 9TH, 2025. 
          THE EMPLOYEE HEARING FROM OCTOBER 16, 2025, AND THE BOARD MEETING FROM OCTOBER 16, 2025, TRUSTEES DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE. 
          SECOND. 
          TRUSTEES IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. 
          TRUSTEES, IF THERE'S NO CORRECTIONS, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          FOREMAN VOTES AYE. 
          WOULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT YOUR VOTE, TRUSTEE FOREMAN? YES. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          THE MOTION PASSES 80. 
          TRUSTEES HAVE ADOPTED THE MOTION APPROVING THE MINUTES AS SUBMITTED. 
          TRUSTEES, WE'LL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 8.01; CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, CASTING ITS VOTE FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, DCAD, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          ACCORDING TO THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTING GUIDELINES, THE DISTRICT MAY CAST ALL OF ITS 472 VOTES FOR ONE CANDIDATE, OR DISTRIBUTE THEM AMONG THE CANDIDATES FOR ANY NUMBER OF DIRECTOR POSITIONS. 
          THERE ARE TWO OPEN DIRECTOR POSITIONS. 
          SO TRUSTEES, THE WAY WE'LL DO THIS, CAN BE A TWO STEP SITUATION. 
          THE PROCESS WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TRUSTEES TO HOW WE HANDLE NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD OFFICERS. 
          EACH MEMBER OF OUR BOARD MAY SUGGEST THE NAME TO BE CONSIDERED. 
          ONCE ALL THE NAMES HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED, WE WILL DEBATE THE SUGGESTIONS, AND THEN WE WILL VOTE ON EACH ONE IN ORDER. 
          SINCE THERE ARE ONLY TWO POSITIONS, THE FIRST TWO TO GET A MAJORITY OF THE VOTE, WILL BE THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE RESOLUTION. 
          ONCE WE HAVE DETERMINED THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE RESOLUTION, WE WILL THEN TAKE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THE POINTS. 
          AND FROM AS MANY TRUSTEES THAT WILL HAVE A SUGGESTION, AND THEN WE WILL VOTE ON THOSE IN ORDER ACCORDINGLY. 
          WITH THAT TRUSTEES, I'LL OPEN THE CONVERSATION. 
          DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT CASTING ITS VOTES FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DCAD AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE? SO MOVED. 
          SECOND. 
          OKAY. TRUSTEES, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          TRUSTEES, DO WE HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A CANDIDATE TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD? 
          [01:40:01]
YOU PROVIDE JUST ONE SUGGESTION AT A TIME. 
          DO WE HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR CANDIDATE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT? I SEE TRUSTEE MITCH KAY. YOUR LIGHT IS ON? YES, MR. PRESIDENT. THE FIRST SUGGESTION I HAVE IS FOR PAULINE MEDRANO.

          SUGGESTED TRUSTEES, ARE THERE FURTHER SUGGESTIONS? SEEING NO ONE ELSE, TRUSTEE, MR. GAG TO YOU AGAIN. 
          KEVIN CARBO. 
          KEVIN CARBO HAS BEEN SUGGESTED. 
          TRUSTEES, ARE THERE FURTHER SUGGESTIONS. 
          THEN SEEING NO FURTHER SUGGESTIONS AND SEEING ONLY TWO SUGGESTIONS, THOSE TWO NAMES ARE DEEMED INSERTED INTO THE RESOLUTION BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 
          THEN TRUSTEES, WE WILL NOW DETERMINE HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THE POINTS. 
          PAULINE MEDRANO, AND KEVIN CARBO HAVE EACH RECEIVED A VOTE AND WILL BE THE CANDIDATES NAMED IN THE RESOLUTION. 
          WE WAS NOW DETERMINE THE VOTES TO BE ALLOCATED TO EACH CANDIDATE.

          I SUGGEST THAT WE ALLOCATE 162 VOTES TO PAULINE MEDRANO, AND 310 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO. 
          I'LL EXPLAIN MY THINKING WHEN APPROPRIATE. 
          THAT WAS 162 VOTES TO PAULINE MEDRANO, AND SAY THAT SECOND NUMBER. 
          310. 310 TO KEVIN CARBO. 
          OKAY. TRUSTEES, DO I HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? I SUGGEST THAT WE DO IT JUST THE OPPOSITE. 
          300 TO PAULINE MEDRANO, AND 162 TO KEVIN CARBO. 
          UNDERSTOOD. I HEAR IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF REVERSE. 
          SO 310 TO PAULINE MEDRANO AND 162 TO KEVIN CARBO. 
          TRUSTEES, DO WE HAVE FURTHER SUGGESTIONS? TRUSTEE MACKEY? I DON'T THINK IT'S A POINT OF INFORMATION. 
          IS IT FEASIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING WHY? IT'S HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY I MIGHT MAKE A DIFFERENT SUGGESTION. 
          WE MAKE A SUGGESTION, BUT THEN WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION AFTER ALL SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN OR ON THE TABLE. 
          IS IT POSSIBLE TO AMEND OUR SUGGESTIONS AT THAT TIME? I MEAN, YES, I GUESS IT IS. 
          MISS FAY MATHEWS, GO AHEAD. 
          THEY'RE NOT AMENDABLE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME. 
          YOU CAN RECOMMEND MORE. 
          I THINK IT'S RECOMMENDED. IF YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION, YOU MAY RECOMMEND ONE AT THIS TIME. 
          YOU CAN RECOMMEND MORE AT THAT TIME, OR YOU HAVE TO RECOMMEND THEM ALL NOW. 
          YOU CAN RECOMMEND THEM AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT. 
          IF AFTER THE DISCUSSION, WE TAKE THE VOTE, IF THEY'RE NOT PASSED, THEN YOU CAN ADD MORE JUST LIKE IN A NOMINATION WHEN WE'RE DOING NOMINATIONS. 
          GOT YOU. 
          SO IF WE CAME UP WITH A DIFFERENT COMBINATION THROUGH DISCUSSION THAT WE LIKED MORE, WE COULD DECLINE THEM ALL AND THEN INSERT THE NEW ONE AT THAT TIME. 
          THAT WOULD BE CORRECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THERE ARE TWO SUGGESTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD? ARE THERE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, TRUSTEES? WE HAVE SUGGESTION ONE IS 162 POINTS FOR PAULINE MEDRANO, AND 310 POINTS FOR KEVIN CARBO, AND SUGGESTION TWO IS 310 POINTS FOR PAULINE MEDRANO, AND 162 POINTS FOR KEVIN CARBO. 
          SEEING NO OTHER SUGGESTIONS, TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE SUGGESTIONS? YES, MR. PRESIDENT. 
          TRUSTEE MITCH KAY. 
          YES. BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE SERVED ON THE DCAD BELT BOARD FOR A YEAR, AND I HAVE SERVED WITH THEM FOR A YEAR. I'VE OBSERVED THEM. 
          THEY'RE EMINENTLY QUALIFIED. 
          THE REASONING FOR THE ALLOCATION OF POINTS THAT I'VE RECOMMENDED HAS TO DO WITH TRYING TO ENSURE THAT WE GET BOTH OF THEM ELECTED. 
          PAULINE MEDRANO IS FROM THE DALLAS COUNTY. 
          DALLAS COUNTY HAS 218 VOTES. 
          KEVIN CARBO COMES FROM MESQUITE ISD, WHICH HAS 40 VOTES. 
          SO THIS IS KIND OF AN ART. 
          IT'S NOT A SCIENCE, BUT THE GOAL THAT I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE TRY TO ACHIEVE IS TO GET THEM BOTH ON THE BOARD. 
          [01:45:05]
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE STRONG ALLIES ON THE BOARD WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN TARRANT COUNTY. 
          IN TARRANT COUNTY, THE BOARD HAS REALLY, I THINK, IN MY OPINION, GONE OFF THE RAILS, AND THE BOARD HAS COME UP WITH APPRAISAL PLANS THAT DON'T ASSESS THAT FAIR MARKET VALUE. 
          IF A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PART OF AN APPRAISAL DISTRICT THAT DOES NOT ASSESS THAT FAIR MARKET VALUE, THE STATE PUNISHES THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          SO THERE ARE SEVERAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TARRANT COUNTY WHO ARE IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY WITH THE STATE BECAUSE THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL BOARD IS NOT ASSESSING AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. 
          ALL OF THAT IS A LONG WAY OF SAYING THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN TERMS OF THEIR POSITIONS ON THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. 
          BOTH OF THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE VERY RESPONSIBLE, AND THEY ARE EXCELLENT COLLEAGUES WHEN I SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY AS A BOARD MEMBER OF DCAD. 
          I THINK WE WANT THEM BOTH TO CONTINUE IN MY OPINION, AND THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ALL AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. 
          NOW, THE SPLIT OF THE VOTES IS NOT AN INDICATE THAT I'M RECOMMENDING IS NOT AN INDICATION THAT I LIKE ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER. 
          THE SPLIT OF THE VOTES IS INTENDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES WIN BY 500 VOTES, AND THE OTHER ONE LOSE BY 20 VOTES. 
          AN EQUAL ALLOCATION OF OUR VOTES WOULD NOT BE, I THINK, IN OUR BEST INTEREST. 
          AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF AN ART. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW HOW EVERYBODY ELSE IS GOING TO VOTE. 
          BUT I THINK WE CAN ASSUME REASONABLY THAT MISS MEDRANO WOULD START OUT WITH 218 VOTES FROM DALLAS COUNTY. 
          I THINK WE CAN REASONABLY ASSUME THAT MR. CARBO WOULD START OUT WITH 40 VOTES FROM MESQUITE. 
          WHEN YOU ADD OUR VOTES TO THAT, IF WE ADDED 162 VOTES TO THE 218 THAT MISS MEDRANO WOULD HAVE, SHE WOULD HAVE, 480 VOTES. 
          I'M SORRY, 380 VOTES, WHICH WOULD BE A PRETTY STRONG NUMBER THAT, I THINK WOULD HELP GET HER ELECTED WITHOUT WASTING OUR EXTRA VOTES. 
          WE ONLY NEED THEM TO GET ELECTED. 
          WE DON'T NEED THEM TO GET ELECTED BY 500 VOTES MORE THAN THEY NEED TO BE ELECTED. 
          THEN, IF WE LOOK AT WHAT KEVIN CARBO HAS, AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO MAKE ALL THESE ASSUMPTIONS. 
          BUT I'M TRYING TO THINK THIS THROUGH IN A WAY THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW WILL BE VOTING IN A WAY THAT WE THINK IS THE RIGHT WAY CAN GET THERE. 
          KEVIN CARBO FROM MESQUITE, CAN ASSUME HE'S GOING TO HAVE THE 40 VOTES FROM MESQUITE. 
          IF WE GIVE HIM 310 VOTES FROM DALLAS, HE'D HAVE 350 VOTES. 
          IT'D BE SOMEWHAT LESS THAN MISS MEDRANO, BUT IT WOULD STILL GET HIM UP, I THINK IN THE HIGH RANGE. 
          THAT'S MY THINKING. 
          THERE'S NO GUARANTEES, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WE REALLY WANT TO JUST GET ONE OF OUR ALLIES ON THAT BOARD. 
          WE WANT TO GET HIM BOTH ON. 
          AND THIS IS MY BEST RECOMMENDATION OF HOW WE CAN DO THAT. 
          FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES. 
          TRUSTEE FOREMAN. 
          SO THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS WHOLE VOTING SITUATION, I WAS VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY THINGS WENT DOWN BECAUSE WE HAD A PERSON THAT WAS A TRUSTEE, AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT SHE DID NOT GET ANY OF THE VOTES. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE QUALIFIED WOMEN WHO ARE SITTING AT THAT TABLE ALSO WHO CAN WORK WITH US. 
          I DON'T KNOW THE OTHER GENTLEMAN AT ALL, BUT I DO KNOW THE ABILITY OF MISS MEDRANO, AND I DO KNOW HER WORK, AND I KNOW HER WORK WELL. 
          JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT MEAN IT'S GOING TO ALWAYS GO THE WAY WE WANTED TO GO. 
          WE NEED SOMEBODY THERE FOR AN OVERALL PERSPECTIVE. 
          [01:50:01]
I DID SERVE ON A PART OF THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND SO I DO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE MECHANICS OF THAT. 
          I JUST DON'T WANT US TO CONTINUE TO GO DOWN A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE WHO WE ABSOLUTELY KNOW IS IN OUR FAVOR, AND WE'RE NOT DOING THE BEST THING TO TRY TO GET THEM OVER THE HUMP. THAT'S MY OPINION. 
          TRUSTEES FURTHER DISCUSSION. 
          I'LL JUST POINT OUT. 
          1 SECOND. IS THERE ANYONE'S FURTHER DISCUSSION AROUND ONE? OKAY. TRUSTEE MITCH KAY. 
          I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT IT'S NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE MR. CARBO IS ON A SCHOOL BOARD. 
          IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBSERVE HIM AND HIS VOTES AND HIS POSITIONS ARE COMPLETELY CONSISTENT WITH MINE AND WITH MISS MEDRANO. 
          SO IT'S JUST NOT A BLIND ASSUMPTION THAT ONLY BECAUSE HE'S ON A SCHOOL BOARD THAT HE'S BEING RECOMMENDED. 
          THANK YOU. TRUSTEE MACKEY. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT HOW WILD OF A SYSTEM THIS IS. 
          SECOND, I KNOW WE ALWAYS TALK AT OUR BRIEFING ABOUT IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE TO DO THE MATH TO ESTIMATE WHAT A THRESHOLD WOULD BE. 
          WERE WE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THAT, OR IS IT TRULY A BLACK BOX? AND LOOK AT YOU FAKE. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE RIGHT PART [LAUGHTER]. OKAY, NO. 
          I MEAN, LOOKING AT THE LIST OF POINTS, I THINK THE REASONING MAKES SENSE THAT YOU PUT FORTH, TRUSTEE MITCH KAY, ABOUT GETTING BOTH OF THESE FOLKS ON THERE. 
          THE FACT THAT I MEAN, DALLAS ISD AND IF I LOOK AT THE LIST HERE, BY FAR THE LARGEST. 
          >> DALLAS ISD CITY OF DALLAS, AND DALLAS COUNTY. 
          BELIEVING YOUR LOGIC THERE THAT DALLAS COUNTY'S VOTE SHOULD GO TO MISS MEDRANO WHO WILL BE EXCELLENT. 
          MY GUESS WOULD BE THE CITY OF DALLAS LIKELY JOINING US IN SOME ELEMENT THERE. 
          I THINK YOUR BREAKDOWN MAKES SENSE, AND WE CAN ALSO CONTINUE TO WATCH IT OVER TIME AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STRATEGY GIVEN WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          THE WAY I DO THE MATH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IF WE JUST ASSUME THAT BOTH OF THOSE CANDIDATES ARE EARNING THEIR FULL VOTES FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS. 
          IT WITH OUR VOTES IN YOUR ALLOCATION, WE'LL PUT PAULINE MEDRANO AT 380, AND KEVIN CARBO SOMEWHERE AROUND 340, MORE OR LESS, 350. 
          THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO ME. THANK YOU. 
          >> FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, ARE WE GOING TO VOTE BY HAND OR ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE BY COMPUTER? 
          >> WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THE FIRST ONE. 
          >> CORRECT. BUT ARE WE USING THE COMPUTER OR? 
          >> LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO IT BY HAND. 
          >> THEN TRUSTEES, WE'LL TAKE THEM IN THE ORDER. 
          THE SUGGESTIONS WERE RECEIVED. 
          THE FIRST ONE WAS TRUSTEES. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT CASTING ITS 162 VOTES FOR CANDIDATE PAULINE MEDRANO AND CASTING 310 VOTES FOR KEVIN CARBO AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          >> I VOTE NO. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> THEN ALL OPPOSED. 
          >> THE MOTION PASSES 7-0, 7-1 I'M SORRY. 
          SEVEN VOTING YES. 
          ONE VOTING NO. 
          >> TRUSTEES, YOU JUST ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, TO CAST ITS 162 VOTES FOR CANDIDATE PAULINE MEDRANO AND 310 VOTES FOR KEVIN CARBO AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT. 
          TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 8.02. 
          CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE PLAN TO DELAY TEACHER CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUNDATIONAL COURSES UNTIL THE START OF THE 2029/2030 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          NO FINANCIAL IMPACT TRUSTEES DO I HAVE A MOTION. 
          >> PRESIDENT, KARA, CAN WE BACK YOU UP JUST A MINUTE, JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR. 
          THAT LAST VOTE WAS FOR THE NUMBER OF VOTES. 
          NOW WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION CONTAINING THOSE, AND I KNOW YOU READ THEM TOGETHER, BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY SEPARATE. 
          >> YOU WANT ME TO DO IT AGAIN? 
          >> YES. IT'LL BE ONE MORE VOTE. 
          >> TRUSTEES. THEY WANT US TO VOTE AGAIN. 
          [01:55:01]
          >> THE 7-1 WAS FOR THE NUMBERS, AND NOW WE'RE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTION WITH THE NAME AND NUMBERS. 
          >> THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          BUT OKAY, I'LL DO IT. 
          [LAUGHTER] TRUSTEES. 
          WE JUST DID THE RESOLUTION. 
          WE READ THE NAMES AND THE NUMBERS TOGETHER, AND THE BOARD VOTED. BUT FAIR ENOUGH. 
          TRUSTEES, I'LL DO IT AGAIN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, CASTING ITS 162 VOTES FOR CANDIDATE 1, PAULINE MEDRANO, AND CASTING 310 VOTES FOR KEVIN CARBO, CANDIDATE 2, AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THAT IS SEVEN. 
          ALL THOSE OPPOSED. 
          >> I VOTE, NO. THANK YOU. 
          >> THE MOTION PASSES SEVEN VOTING YES. ONE VOTING NO. 
          >> YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO CAST ITS VOTES FOR 162 VOTES FOR PAULINE MEDRANO, AND 310 VOTES FOR KEVIN CARBO AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DCAT. 
          TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 8.02 TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE PLAN, TO DELAY TEACHER CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUNDATIONAL COURSES UNTIL THE START OF THE 2029, 2030 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          NO FINANCIAL IMPACT, TRUSTEES DO HAVE A MOTION. 
          >> MOVE TO APPROVE. 
          >> SECOND. 
          >> TRUSTEES HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. TRUSTEES IS THERE A DISCUSSION? 
          >> YES. 
          >> TRUSTEE FORM. 
          >> COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE ACTUALLY DELAYING THIS? 
          >> HELLO, TRUSTEE. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 
          I DO NOT HAVE A LIST OF OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPTION. 
          THE WINDOW JUST OPENED. 
          WE'RE TAKING THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT A RESOLUTION SO THAT WE CAN EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH OUR TEACHERS, THE IMPACT TO THEM AND THEIR FUTURE WITH DALLAS ISD. 
          BUT THAT WOULD BE A LARGE NUMBER THOUGH, YES, MA'AM. 
          >> HOW MANY ACTUAL TEACHERS DO WE HAVE IN THIS CATEGORY? 
          >> IT'S APPROXIMATELY 900. 
          >> APPROXIMATELY 900 AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF OUR TEACHERS ARE 9,000. 
          >> NINETY FOUR, 9,500 SOMEWHERE THERE. 
          >> SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA. 
          >> YES, MA'AM. 
          >> NONE OF THESE ARE CORE SUBJECTS? 
          >> NO. THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE CORE SUBJECTS. 
          THEY'RE NOT BILINGUAL OR SPECIAL ED OR ESLS WE DISCUSSED, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE CORE SUBJECTS. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO BE EITHER CORE SUBJECTS GENERALISTS IN ELEMENTARY, CORE SUBJECTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL OR CORE CONTENT OF SECONDARY MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, OR SOCIAL STUDIES IN HIGH SCHOOL. 
          >> YOU WANT TO DO THIS TO 2029? 
          >> YES, MA'AM. THAT WOULD BE OUR MAXIMUM TIMELINE? 
          >> WHICH IS THREE YEARS AWAY. 
          >> WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY MOVE TO GET OUR CERTIFICATION DONE QUICKER AND EARLIER. 
          THAT IS JUST THE MAXIMUM TIMELINE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SUBMIT TO THE STATES. 
          WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN SOURCE OUR CANDIDATES APPROPRIATELY. 
          >> SAY THAT AGAIN, THE MAXIMUM TIMELINE YOU WOULD GIVE TO THE STATE. 
          >> THAT WE WOULD APPLY TO THE STATE. 
          WE WOULD APPLY TO THE STATE TO GIVE US UNTIL 29, 30 TO GET OUR CERTIFICATION WAIVER, THE DOI PIECE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOR CERTIFICATION TO BE HAVE THAT REMOVED. 
          WE OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE A STEP DOWN PROCESS WHERE WE WOULD GO FROM ABOUT 10% TO ABOUT 7% TO 4% TO 2% TO ZERO. 
          OBVIOUSLY, WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO ACCELERATE FASTER THAN THAT. 
          BUT THAT WOULD BE THE BENCHMARKS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK ON AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING IN THIS GOAL. 
          >> THANK YOU. IT'S CRAZY. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE SANDERS. 
          >> A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING THINGS, CHIEF ABEL. 
          THE REASON WHY WE WANTED TO HAVE THIS EXTENDED TIMELINE, SO ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS ARE HAVING TO MEET THE STANDARDS THAT TEA HAS ISSUED. 
          OUR SIZE IS A BIG PART OF ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE WANTED TO GIVE OURSELF A LITTLE BIT MORE RUNWAY BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS THAT WE HAVE. 
          >> THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. EVEN THOUGH OUR NUMBER IS LARGER ON A NUMERICAL VALUE THAN DISTRICTS AROUND US, OUR PERCENTAGE OF DOI IS ACTUALLY CONSIDERABLY LESS. 
          WE'RE ALSO IN A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE OF VERSUS OTHER DISTRICTS BECAUSE WHEN WE IMPLEMENTED OUR DOI AT THE BEHEST OF THE BOARD, WE ADDED ADDITIONAL CRITERIA. 
          FOR A LOT OF DISTRICTS TO QUALIFY FOR A DOI. 
          ALL YOU NEEDED WAS A DEGREE. 
          BUT FOR DALLAS ISD, WE PUT IN ADDITIONAL TRAINING COMPONENTS. 
          WE ALSO ADDED IN ADDITIONAL HIGHER GPAS FOR OUR TEACHERS, SO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO QUALIFY TO GET INTO AN ALL CERT PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THEIR GPA AND THOSE HIGHER CRITERIA THAT WE PUT IN PLACE. 
          >> FOR US, YOU SHARED A LITTLE BIT OF THIS AT THE BOARD BRIEFING, BUT MAY FOR THE RECORD, 
          [02:00:02]
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE HAVE INTERNAL STANDARDS FOR WHAT A DOI TEACHER CAN STILL BE IN DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          >> YES, SIR, THAT IS CORRECT. 
          AGAIN, WE HAVE THE HIGHER ACADEMIC STANDARDS OFF OF THEIR COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS. 
          WE ALSO GO THROUGH A VERY STRONG MENTOR PROGRAM IN DALLAS ISD. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, ALL DOI TEACHERS IN DALLAS ISD EVERY YEAR THAT THEY'RE DOI, THEY HAVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL HOURS OF TRAINING. 
          I WANT TO SAY IT'S ABOUT 12 OR 14 HOURS AND YOU GO BACK AND SHIP ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER TRAINING THAT ALL TEACHERS GET. 
          THEY STILL GET ALL THE TRAINING THAT ALL TEACHERS GET, BUT WE DO ANNUAL TRAINING ON TOP OF THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM THE SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THAT THEY GROW GENERALLY AT THE SAME RATE AS WHAT A NOVICE TEACHER WAS FROM AN SRP PROGRAM, OR A UNIVERSITY-BASED PROGRAM. 
          THE TEACHERS THAT WE'RE ASKING TO EXTEND THE CERTIFICATION. 
          THESE ARE PROVEN DALLAS ISD TEACHERS WHO ARE IN OUR CLASSROOMS TODAY. 
          THEY WERE IN OUR CLASSROOMS LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE. 
          THEY'RE HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS. 
          THEY PRODUCE POSITIVE STUDENT OUTCOMES AS EVIDENCED BY SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE SHARED EARLIER ON SOME OF THE OUTCOMES OF OUR SCHOOLS. 
          THESE ARE GOOD HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS. 
          WITH THIS WAIVER, WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM EMPLOYED TO GIVE THEM TIME TO WORK THROUGH A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM, BECAUSE A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM, IT'S NOT AN OVERNIGHT THING WHERE YOU JUST COME IN ON MONDAY AND YOU GET IT DONE. 
          IT REALLY IS A LONG PROCESS. 
          YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SERIES OF HOURS OF TRAINING AND OBSERVATIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          THAT WILL HELP US KEEP GOOD, HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS IN FRONT OF OUR KIDS VERSUS CREATING VACANCIES AND BRINGING IN BRAND NEW NOVICE TEACHERS OR CREATING VACANCIES FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          >> I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WAS IMPORTANT THAT SHE SHARED LAST TIME WAS THAT BRINGING IN CERTIFIED TEACHERS IS IMPORTANT. 
          ALSO, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE EDUCATORS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE DALLAS ISD SYSTEM, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT HAS ITS OWN SET OF RIGOR THAT YOU JUST SHARED WITH US THERE. 
          I WANTED TO SAY ALL OF THAT BECAUSE I WANTED YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THE FULL COLOR OR THE CONTEXT BEHIND SOME OF WHY WE'RE DOING SOMETHING. 
          THAT IS, ROBUST, AND WE'RE PUTTING A BIT OF AN ASTERIX OUT THERE, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF THOUGHT BEHIND IT, SO APPRECIATE YOU SHANNON. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEES FURTHER DISCUSSION? 
          >> YES. 
          >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN. 
          >> I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AT HAND IN REGARDS TO THIS, BUT MY QUESTION STILL REMAINS SOMEWHAT THE SAME. 
          BECAUSE I THINK WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE WAS A LOT OF OUR DOI TEACHERS AND NON-CERTIFIED TEACHERS WERE DOI TEACHERS, IS THAT CORRECT? 
          >> YEAH. FOR US, WE WE USE THAT GENERALLY SYNONYMOUSLY, WHICH I PROBABLY SHOULD PROVIDE MORE GRANULAR PIECE. 
          FOR US, A DOI TEACHER IS GOING TO BE A TEACHER THAT DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A CERTIFICATION OR IS NOT CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM THAT HAS YIELDED A CERTIFICATION. 
          BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOSE 900 TEACHERS WHO WENT THROUGH AN CERT PROGRAM, AND WHEN THEY GOT HIRED WITH DALLAS ISD, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD HAVE SAID, I HAD THE JOB IN DALLAS ISD. 
          I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE THE CERTIFICATION RIGHT NOW. 
          WHAT THEY DO IS THERE'S USUALLY ANYWHERE 4.500-5,500 FEE THAT GOES INTO GETTING THAT AT SHIRT PROGRAM. 
          MANY OF THEM JUST MADE A BUSINESS DECISION, I THINK AT THE TIME THAT SAID, I'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE TESTING AND I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE TRAINING AND ALL THE HOURS AND THE OBSERVATION HOURS OF AN AT SHIRT PROGRAM. 
          BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PAY THAT EXTRA $5,000 ON AVERAGE FOR THAT PROGRAM. 
          A LOT OF WHAT WE CONSIDER WHAT WE CALL DOI OR UNCERTIFIED TEACHERS OR ALL CERT TEACHERS, THEY'RE COMING FROM CORPORATE AMERICA. 
          THEY'RE COMING FROM PRIVATE INDUSTRY. 
          A LOT OF THEM ARE ALREADY FACING A DECREASE SOMETIMES IN THEIR ANNUAL SALARY TO COME AND CHOOSE TO BE A TEACHER. 
          >> ROBERT. 
          >> YES MA'AM 
          >> THANK YOU. I'M JUST TRYING TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING LISTENING TO WHAT TRUSTEE SANDERS WAS SAYING IN REGARDS TO WHY WE SHOULD DO THIS. 
          THE DOI TEACHERS WERE NOT TEACHERS THAT TEACH CORE SUBJECTS, CORRECT? 
          >> NO, THEY DO TEACH CORE SUBJECTS. THEY DO NOT TEACH. 
          >> ENGLISH, MATH. 
          >> YES, MA'AM. SECONDARY ENGLISH, SECONDARY MATH, SECONDARY SCIENCE, SECONDARY SOCIAL STUDIES, AND THEN THE CORE CONTENT IN THE ELEMENTARY CLASSES AS WELL. 
          WHAT DOI TEACHERS DO NOT TEACH ARE ESL, SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND BILINGUAL. 
          THOSE ARE PROHIBITED THROUGH FEDERAL LAW. 
          >> IT'S PROHIBITED THROUGH FEDERAL LAW. 
          >> YES, MA'AM. 
          >> I'M GOING TO BE CLEAR. I DON'T SUPPORT THIS LONG EXTENSION, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEES FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, TRUSTEES, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          >> I VOTE, NO. 
          [02:05:02]
          >> THANK YOU. 
          TRUSTEES SANDERS, WERE YOU ABLE TO VOTE? I CAN VOTE FOR YOU. WHAT'S YOUR VOTE? THANK YOU. THE MOTION PASSES, SEVEN VOTING YES. 
          ONE VOTING NO. 
          >> TRUSTEES, YOU JUST ADOPTED ITEM 8.02. 
          TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO ITEM 8.03, CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE RESULTS OF THE 2024, 2025, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS EVALUATION INSTRUMENT, AND THE 2024, 2025, AND SENATE PLAN. 
          TRUSTEES, DO I HAVE A MOTION? 
          >> MOVE TO APPROVE. 
          >> SECOND. 
          >> TRUSTEE HAS BEEN MOVED IN A SECOND. TRUSTEES TO DISCUSSION. 
          SEEING NO DISCUSSION. 
          TRUSTEES, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          >> I ABSTAIN. 
          >> THANK YOU.
