[4. PUBLIC FORUM ]

THE AUDIENCE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO LEWD, FILTHY, VULGAR, OBSCENE OR EXPLICIT LANGUAGE FROM SPEAKERS AND THOSE THAT USE SUCH LANGUAGE WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND OR ESCORTED FROM THE MEETING IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE ADDRESS THE BOARD RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES AND REFRAIN FROM USING INDIVIDUALS NAMES, INCLUDING STUDENTS NAMES. THE DISTRICT HAS ADOPTED PROCEDURES TO HEAR AND ADDRESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS, AND IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE SPEAKERS AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE GRIEVANCE POLICY TO SEEK RELIEF VIA THOSE PROCEDURES. EACH PARTICIPANT IS LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT AND CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OR HER OWN STATEMENTS. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF YOUR TIME.

MISS FLORES, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE NAMES OF THE SPEAKERS? GOOD EVENING.

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE SPEAKERS THAT YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY FOR YOUR NAME. WILL THE FIRST TWO SPEAKERS PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONES? BILL BENTSEN AND ROBERT CECCARELLI. HOWDY. BILL BENTSEN, 15 YEAR RETIRED MIDDLE SCHOOL DISD TEACHER. AND IT'S AN HONOR TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU ALL.

YOU HAVE A HANDOUT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT HAS MY CARD ATTACHED TO IT.

AND YOU'LL SEE HANDWRITING A THING TO GRANDPA ON THE FIRST PAGE.

THAT BASICALLY IS THE DIRECTIONS THAT STUDENTS GIVE TO THEIR PARENTS FROM THE AGE OF THREE, ALL THE WAY THROUGH GRADUATION TO ASK FOR A LETTER.

AND THEY ASK FOR A VERY SIMPLE LETTER. GRANDPA, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR DREAMS FOR ME AND TELL ME A STORY FROM YOUR HISTORY THAT YOU WANT ME TO KNOW. WE'VE BEEN USING THIS PATTERN FOR ABOUT A DECADE IN DALLAS, AND IT HAS CONSISTENTLY MOTIVATED KIDS TO DO BETTER.

AND THEN IT WAS KILLED WITH COVID IN 2020. ALL LETTER WRITING STOPPED.

ALL SIX MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT HAD BEEN DOING IT STOPPED WRITING LETTERS.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM REVERTED BACK TO THEIR SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS INDICES SCORE THAT THEY HAD BEFORE THEY STARTED THE PROJECT. SOME OF THEM LOST AS MANY AS TEN POINTS ON THE SCI SCALE.

[00:05:06]

AND OF COURSE, MY SOURCE IS THE D ISD DATA PORTAL.

AND THAT ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS SCI MEASUREMENT THAT Y'ALL HAVE THAT I HAVE USED FOR OVER A DECADE.

IT'S VERY, VERY ACCURATE. I'M A STRONG BELIEVER IN IT.

SOUTH OAK CLIFF WAS THE REBIRTH OF THE PROJECT, AND IT STARTED IN 2023.

IN 2023, THEY HAD A SEVEN YEAR AVERAGE SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS INDICES SCORE THAT WAS BETTER THAN THREE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS. ANY OF Y'ALL WHO KNOW HOW MANY HIGH SCHOOLS WE HAVE, WE HAVE 39, IF I COUNT RIGHT.

SO THEY WEREN'T DOING TOO GOOD. WELL, BUT THEY HAD A PHENOMENAL PRINCIPAL WHO HAD BEEN CHANGING THE SCHOOLS AND LAYING A FOUNDATION.

WE STARTED DOING THE PROJECT IN 23-24. WE ROSE NINE POINTS.

WE DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR, AND THAT YEAR, 2025 SOC GOT THE HIGHEST SCI IN THE CITY, BETTER THAN ALL 39 OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS. HOWEVER, I'M STANDING HERE TO SAY YOU CANNOT FORCE A SCHOOL TO DO THIS.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS WATCH THE SCIS AND HOLD THE SCHOOLS TO THEIR SCIS.

THEY'VE GOT TO VOLUNTEER TO DO THIS. THIS PROJECT ONLY WORKS WHEN KIDS WANT TO DO IT, WHEN PARENTS WANT TO DO IT, AND WHEN SCHOOLS WANT TO DO IT. ABSENT THAT, JUST LET THE ROCKS CRUMBLE.

THANK YOU. WILL THE NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? ROBERT CECCARELLI.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. IS IT WORKING? OKAY. YEAH.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. WHAT I JUST HEARD ABOUT SCI.

I WISH I KNEW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. HOW CAN YOU BEAT SOC? BEAT ALL THE SCHOOLS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

HE SHOULD TELL US WHAT IT MEANS BEFORE HE BRAGS ABOUT SOC.

SO THAT WAY WE MIGHT SAY SOMETHING. BUT WHEN YOU SAY SOMETHING, YOU HAVE NO PROOF ABOUT IT.

AND YOU'RE BETTER THAN ALL THE MAGNET SCHOOLS. HE NEEDS TO CHECK HIMSELF.

THE PERSON WHO JUST TALKED. OKAY, NOW I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN AT RISK REAL QUICK.

THIS IS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO. THERE IS A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION THAT ISSUES INDEPENDENT ANNUAL RANKINGS AS A TOOL TO GIVE PARENTS AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE, PUSH FOR EDUCATION, EQUITY, AND LISTEN TO THIS REAL, PLEASE, REAL, IMPORTANT HOLD THE STATE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD.

I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN. HOLD THE STATE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD.

BECAUSE WHY I SAY THIS? BECAUSE I HAVE INFORMATION THAT TEA HAS WATERED DOWN ALL THEIR SCORES AND THE PARENTS NEED TO KNOW THIS.

EVERYONE'S KEEPING QUIET. I'VE HAD 3 OR 4 PEOPLE LIE TO ME ALREADY ABOUT THE 70% I'M ABOUT TO SAY KEEP.

QUIT LYING. YOU'RE NOT. YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT.

I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP ON SAYING, KEEP ON LOOKING DOWN.

BUT I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. NOW THE 70% IS A STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OR PROGRESS.

IF THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IS BAD, YOU THROW OUT THE PROGRESS.

YOU THROW OUT THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. WHY? THAT'S WHY YOU GET YOUR GRADES.

BECAUSE YOU THROW OUT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, WHICH SHOULD BE IN THERE NO MATTER WHAT.

THE TEA IS DOING THINGS FOR YOU TO LOOK GOOD, BUT YOU'RE NOT DOING IT.

I SEE THE SUPERINTENDENT ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN. THAT'S OKAY. NOW, ALSO WITH THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, 40% IS A STAR TEST. 40% IS EITHER COLLEGE READINESS.

CAREER READINESS OR MILITARY READINESS. AND 20% IS THE GRADUATION RATE.

DOES THAT MEAN IF YOU IF YOU GO TO MILITARY, DOES THAT MEAN YOU GET 40% JUST AS GOOD AS THE STAR TEST? I, WE NEED TO KNOW THAT. YOU NEED TO START EXPLAINING THINGS BECAUSE THE PARENTS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT.

THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

OKAY. AND PLUS THE GRADUATION RATE, YOU GOT THE WORST GRADUATION GRADUATION RATES IN THE WHOLE COUNTY.

YOU GOT THE WORST. THERE WAS AN OBSERVER IN 2025.

WHAT ELSE? TOM? ABOUT 30S. OKAY. OH, ONE MORE THING.

U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS TALK ABOUT THE FOUR MAGNET SCHOOLS THAT DID SO WELL.

BUT CHECK THIS OUT. CARTER AND SOUTH OAK CLIFF IS IN THAT LIST ALSO AS FAR AS COLLEGE READINESS.

THEY'RE WAY AT THE BOTTOM 6% AND 9%. LOOK IT UP AND COME BACK TO ME.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME, BUT EMAIL ME TO SHOW ME YOUR INTEREST ABOUT ABOUT THE CHILDREN AT RISK.

ALL THOSE F'S. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANYBODY. ALL THOSE FS, YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED.

IF NOT, YOU NEED TO GO BECAUSE YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT.

REALLY? THANK YOU. PARENTS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT. DO IT PLEASE. OUR PUBLIC FORUM.

[6. VISION/PROGRESS MONITORING]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT CARREÓN. AS OUR CALENDAR DICTATES, WE ARE BRINGING YOU AN UPDATE WITH REGARD TO CONSTRAINTS CPM 3.3 AND CHIEF ROBERT ABELE FROM HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT WILL WALK US THROUGH THIS UPDATE.

TRUSTEES, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU TODAY. WHEN WE LOOK AT CONSTRAINT 3.3 OUR TARGET WAS TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR D AND F, D, AND F RATED ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES WERE AT OR BELOW A STUDENT RATIO OF 19.8 TO 1.

AS YOU SEE BY OUR PROGRESS MONITORING HERE WE HAVE A GREEN LIGHT.

WE ARE ON TRACK TO MAKE SURE WE MEET THIS EXPECTATION.

CURRENTLY ALL OF OUR D AND F, D AND F RATED ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES ARE MEETING THAT THRESHOLD AND ARE BELOW THAT 19.8 RATIO.

OUR NEXT STEPS IS WE'LL CONTINUE MONITORING THE GUARDRAILS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR BY LOOKING AT WEEKLY ENROLLMENT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAINTAINING THAT 19.8 RATIO THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. WORKING WITH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP ON THIS CONSTRAINT AS WELL.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO CONCENTRATE THE SMALLEST CLASSES WITH THE HIGHEST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT TIER ONE INSTRUCTION IS THE BEST WE CAN PROVIDE AND PROVIDING ANY INTERVENTION SUPPORT AS NEEDED BY THOSE STUDENT NEEDS. AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE STUDENT PROGRESS WEEKLY AND QUARTERLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CLASS SIZE INVESTMENTS ARE TRANSLATING INTO MEASURABLE STUDENT OUTCOMES. THANK YOU TRUSTEES.

QUESTIONS. TRUSTEE SANDERS.

I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SAYING OUT LOUD, GRATEFUL FOR THE EFFORT ON THIS.

I KNOW IT IS. IT'S LIKE A RUBIK'S CUBE AT TIMES.

BUT ALSO I, I THINK IT'S CONSISTENTLY PROVEN THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS FOR US TO, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GETTING OFF THE LIST, IT'S ABOUT GETTING RESOURCES WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND TO THE STUDENTS WHO NEED THEM THE MOST.

SO GRATEFUL FOR THE EFFORT. AND I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT STRATEGY FOR US TO KEEP.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES. FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NO FURTHER. OH, TRUSTEE GARCIA. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I, I, I KNOW I HAVE TWO ON THE LIST. I WONDERED WHEN WE HAD THE CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS ABOUT THE, RATINGS. WAS THIS MENTIONED TO THE PARENTS AS FAR AS LIKE THE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS HAVING THE STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO.

YEAH. I MAY DEFER TO CHIEF HEWITT. I KNOW THAT THE CONVERSATION WAS, IS MAKING OR ENSURING THAT WE'RE HAVING SMALLER CLASS SIZES IN THOSE CAMPUSES,

[00:15:04]

AND I BELIEVE THEY ALSO MENTIONED THE PROGRESS MONITORING AND ENSURING WHERE THEY'RE DOING THE HAND SCHEDULING TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE HIGH, THE STUDENTS WITH THE HIGHEST NEED ARE WITH THE BEST TEACHERS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. WELL, THAT'S A, THAT'S ALREADY A GREAT ANSWER.

NO, I WONDERED BECAUSE YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, LIKE WHEN THEY HEAR OF THE RATING, THEY, THEY HAVE CONCERNS AS WELL.

AND THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND LIKE WHAT'S BEING DONE.

SO I JUST WONDERED IF THIS WAS PART OF THE BIGGER PUZZLE OR BIGGER PRESENTATION THAT WAS SHARED WITH THEM SO THAT THEY FEEL LIKE WE'RE ACTIVELY MONITORING THIS.

NOT EXPLICITLY, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN ADD IT IN FUTURE PRESENTATIONS.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE TURNER. YES.

AND COULD YOU ALSO ADD IN FUTURE PRESENTATIONS REGARDING OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS EMERGING BILINGUALS? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH DADE MIDDLE SCHOOL, I KNOW THAT THAT'S A CHALLENGE THAT, THAT THEY'RE HAVING. SO I'M DEFINITELY WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. YEAH. JUST ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM.

[8. MINUTES SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL]

SO TRUSTEES WE'LL TURN TO NOW POLICY UPDATES UNDER AGENDA ITEM NINE.

[9. POLICY UPDATES]

MR. PRESIDENT, I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT 9.A THE NAMING POLICY.

OKAY. AND I, I WANT TO ISOLATE A SPECIFIC ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IN RECENT YEARS, AND THAT IS USING THE THREE TRUSTEES CAN PUT ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA, INCLUDING A NAME CHANGE, WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE NAMING POLICY.

THIS CURRENT DRAFT STILL HAS THAT IN THERE. AND THAT MEANS, AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, OR THAT THERE'S NO POSITIVE PRESENTATION AT ALL REQUIRED BY THE THREE TRUSTEES WHO BRING THE NAME.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO MEET ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN THEY PUT THE REST OF THE BOARD, THE OTHER SIX, IN THE POSITION OF ASKING QUESTIONS THAT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE OPPOSING THE NAME, BECAUSE THE PROCESS HAS BEEN EVADED.

AND I REQUESTED THAT THIS POLICY SAY THAT THE THREE TRUSTEES CAN PUT ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA EXCEPT FOR THINGS LIKE NAMING. THERE'S NEVER THERE'S NEVER AN URGENCY WHERE THREE TRUSTEES HAVE TO GET A NAME ON THE AGENDA WITHOUT ANY VETTING WITHIN 60 DAYS. SO UNLESS THAT CHANGES, UNLESS WE AMEND THAT OUT, I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THE NAME CHANGE POLICY.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN. OKAY, I UNDERSTAND.

JUST FOR PURPOSES OF THE BOARD. CAN ANYONE TELL US BOARD SERVICES TEAM.

THE. THE DEADLINE FOR AMENDMENTS TO CW. TO SUBMIT FORMAL AMENDMENTS OR IS THAT WAS THAT PAST NOW ISN'T IT? IT HAS NOT PASSED. I'M WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GONNA GIVE IT TO ME. PRESIDENT CARREÓN WE, WE WILL LOOK IN THAT POLICY AND GET THAT TO YOU.

OKAY. BECAUSE TYPICALLY, LIKE THE TUESDAY BEFORE THE THURSDAY OR SOMETHING TO THIS EFFECT, RIGHT? TO HAVE IT TIMELY SUBMITTED AND THEN POTENTIALLY HEARD AT THE CORRECT.

BUT I WANT TO CONFIRM. OKAY, OKAY. WE'LL CIRCULATE LIKE THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE UNDER POLICY UPDATES? OKAY, THEN WE'LL ANYTHING UNDER TEN. THE PROPOSED NAMING OF FACILITIES.

[10. PROPOSED NAMING OF FACILITIES ]

SEEING NOTHING THEN TRUSTEES ANYTHING UNDER ACADEMICS AND TRANSFORMATION DIVISION, WHICH INCLUDES 15

[00:20:11]

[12. CHIEF OF STAFF DIVISION ]

YES. RIGHT. 13 A GO AHEAD. OKAY. CAN SOMEBODY TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES FOR PARTICULARLY BILL EIGHT. TRUSTEE ED TURNER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HEARING ON THIS ITEM ON OCTOBER 29TH.

HAPPY TO GO INTO IT. BUT THERE WILL BE A HEARING SO YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING. NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU. THANKS. YEAH.

OKAY. ANYTHING NOW? MOVING TO AGAIN. ACADEMIC AND TRANSFORMATION 15, 14 AND 15.

[14. ACADEMICS AND TRANSFORMATION DIVISION]

[16. SCHOOL LEADERSHIP DIVISION ]

[18. FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION]

[23. OPERATION SERVICES DIVISION]

AND THEN WHAT, CONSTRUCTION SERVICES DIVISION, WHICH INCLUDES 26 A THROUGH 26 H AND

[25. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES DIVISION]

SO THIS ONE IS ABOUT SAMUEL. AND FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK THE ADMINISTRATION FOR FOCUSING HEAVILY ON MAKING SURE THAT SAMUEL HAS A NEW BUILDING. I KNOW IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER DEMOLITION, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY ASKING WHAT THE TIMELINE IS LOOKING LIKE AND IF WE'RE STICKING TO IT. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE CLEAR ON THAT.

YES. TRUSTEE AND THANK YOU. WE'RE PUSHING SAMUEL FORWARD, BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING SOME DELAYS WITH ZONING.

WE. SO FAR WE'VE BEEN IMPACTED AT LEAST ONE MONTH.

OUR NEXT HEARING IS OCTOBER 22ND. NEXT THURSDAY TO GO BACK IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO SEEK APPROVAL FOR SAMUEL. CHIEF ALFRED, CAN YOU REMIND ME? I KNOW WE'VE MET ABOUT THIS.

SO BECAUSE TYPICALLY THEN I BELIEVE THAT'S CALLED THE, THE CPC, THE CITY PLANNING.

CITY PLANNING COMMISSION. AND THIS, IT WAS, IT'S BEEN, WE'RE DELAYED AT THIS POINT.

I CAN'T MOVE IT FORWARD, IF I RECALL. SO IT WAS DELAYED WHEN? OUR FIRST HEARING WAS, I BELIEVE, OCTOBER THE 8TH.

NO, IT WAS SEPTEMBER, LATE SEPTEMBER. IT WAS DELAYED.

AND THEN LAST WEEK IT WAS DELAYED AGAIN. SO WE'VE NOW HAD TWO DELAYS.

THAT IS CORRECT. AND WHAT IS YOUR APPROXIMATE EACH TIME IT'S DELAYED IT MEANS WE CAN'T TAKE IT OUT FOR BID, ETC.. CORRECT. YES. I'M TRACKING INFLATION AT 3.9% ANNUALLY.

AND ON A PROJECT THE SIZE OF SAMUEL, THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT 300 TO 500,000 PER MONTH.

AND SO WHO, WHO COULD WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH? IS THERE SOMEONE? WE WOULDN'T BE REACHING OUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT WOULD BE INCORRECT.

IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. THE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO REACH OUT TO WOULD BE THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER WHO'S OVERSEEING THE CASE WHICH IS ALICIA SERRATO. COMMISSIONER SERRATO. OKAY. DO WE HAVE HER CONTACT INFORMATION OR CAN THIS BE SHARED WITH ME SO I CAN PASS IT ON? IT SHOULD BE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. BUT IF NOT, I.

CAN. WE CAN GO. WE'LL GO TO THE WEBSITE AND WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE WHEN, WHEN WE MIGHT BE HAVING THE NEXT COMMUNITY MEETING.

BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY UPDATED ON THE TIME FRAME SO WE CAN SHARE THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE DELAYS ARE, BECAUSE WE CANNOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THAT APPROVAL.

DID WE GET A LIST OF WHAT WE WERE MISSING AS TO WHY IT WAS DELAYED?

[00:25:03]

WE HAVE REVIEWED IT WITH STAFF. STAFF HAS GIVEN US A LIST AND APPROVED IT AND MOVED IT FORWARD, RECOMMENDED IT FOR APPROVAL. BUT AT THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL, THEY HAVE DISCRETIONARY OVERSIGHT TO DETERMINE IF IT'S READY TO MOVE FORWARD. SO ONE MONTH DELAYED TOTAL.

SO. SO FAR. SO FAR. SO IT IT'S IT COULD BE UPWARDS OF 500 K.

CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU TELL ME ONE MORE TIME.

WHEN IS THE NEXT. WHEN IS OUR NEXT? IS THERE ANOTHER CPC MEETING? YES. OCTOBER 22ND AT 12:30 INTO PUBLIC MEETING WHERE THE COMMISSION WILL HERE AT CITY HALL.

OKAY, DOWNTOWN DALLAS. I APPRECIATE IT. I WILL BE SHARING THAT.

I KNOW THAT CONSTITUENTS AND ALUMNI AND EVEN CURRENT PARENTS ARE ARE THEY ARE WONDERING WHAT'S HAPPENING.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT IT IS SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE ON ON TOP OF, BUT THERE IS THAT DELAY HAPPENING.

TRUSTEE TURNER. YES SKYLINE HIGH SCHOOL I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO A DIFFERENT ITEM? YES. OKAY, THEN LET ME.

LET'S GO FIRST TO ANYONE ELSE FOR 26.H YEAH. YES.

OKAY, THEN I SEE SANDERS FIRST. GO AHEAD. TRUSTEE SANDERS.

CHIEF [INAUDIBLE] AND DOCTOR ELIZALDE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE CASE, BUT WE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF BUILDINGS THAT ARE COMING UP AND IS THERE HOW ARE WE MULTIPLY THIS TIMES 2030, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER MANY PROJECTS WE HAVE COMING UP THAT COULD BE SIGNIFICANT FOR US AS A DISTRICT DEALING WITH NOT ONLY THE OLD BOND, BUT THE NEW BOND.

WHAT, WHAT ARE THE, WHAT ARE SOME STRATEGIES THAT WE CAN DO THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HELP WITH US HELPING CPC KNOW WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE AND ALSO GETTING THEIR QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME TO, TO SEE WHAT, WHAT THINGS THEY MIGHT NEED TO KNOW SO WE CAN EQUIP THEM WITH WHATEVER THEY NEED.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT Y'ALL HAVEN'T DONE THAT, BUT LIKE, APPARENTLY THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AND AS TRUSTEES, IF WE CAN HELP. YEAH, WE'RE PROJECTING OVER THIS BOND OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE UP TO 58 DIFFERENT CASES.

SO WE ARE MEETING WITH CPC CITY STAFF AND THEY'VE INVITED US.

EXCUSE ME. NEXT WEEK AT 1030. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SESSION WITH THEM, TELLING THEM OUR WORKLOAD, THE VOLUME, AND HOPEFULLY COME TO SOME TYPE OF CONSENSUS ABOUT WHAT WOULD SUBMIT EACH TIME.

SO WE DO NOT HAVE THESE CONTINUED DELAYS. SO THAT IS THE GOAL.

OTHER THAN THAT AS I MENTIONED TO TRUSTEE GARCIA, CONTACTING YOUR CITY PLANNING COMMISSIONER WHEN IT'S AT THAT LEVEL, AND BECAUSE THE NEXT STEP, IT DOES GO TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND WHEN IT'S AT THAT STEP, YOU'RE WELCOME TO ALSO REACH OUT TO THOSE CONSTITUENTS.

FEEL FREE TO HELP FLAG WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE COMING UP IN THE PLACES THAT, YOU KNOW, WE REPRESENT.

AND I AND I WANT TO HELP HOWEVER POSSIBLE. SO THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. SO THIS IS JUST A QUICK TO TRUSTEE GARCIA AND THE SUPERINTENDENT.

YOU CAN ALSO REACH OUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL PERSON WHO APPOINTS THE CPC PERSON AND I BELIEVE ISN'T IT JAIME RESENDEZ? IT IS. OKAY. AND JAIME HAS SERVED ON THIS BOARD, SO I'M SURE HE UNDERSTANDS THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'RE MISSING BY DOING THAT. SO I WOULD JUST STRONGLY SUGGEST.

AND IF YOU NEED ME, I WILL REACH OUT TO HIM ALSO.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN. TRUSTEE CURRIE.

IS IT THIS ITEM? YES. TRUSTEE CURRIE. WELL, AND I, I APPRECIATE I WATCHED THE THE CPC MEETING THAT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 8TH.

AND THAT'S WHERE CHAIRMAN RUBIN TALKED ABOUT THIS MEETING AT 10:30 THAT HE WANTED TO HOLD.

HE WANTED TO TRY TO HAVE A MEETING IN WHICH THE ISD AND CPC CAN SIT DOWN TOGETHER AND TRY TO FIND A CONSENSUS ON WHAT A, WHAT A PACKAGE OF, OF WOULD, WOULD WORK. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE VOLUME THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.

[00:30:07]

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY HAVE A ROLE OF MAKING SURE, YOU KNOW, PROPERTIES FIT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. AND SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND GOOD COMPROMISE.

I WILL SAY THAT I, I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK AT CPC.

IT'S SOMETHING RELATED TO W.T. WHITE LAST YEAR.

AND I, I FELT WELCOMED THERE AND, AND I THINK IF WE AS TRUSTEES HAVE THE TIME, I KNOW WE'RE ALREADY VOLUNTEERING A LOT, BUT GOING DOWN WHEN THERE'S PARTICULAR IMPORTANT PROJECTS OR PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, NEXT WEEK WE'LL SEE WHAT THE RIGHT STRATEGY IS ON THAT.

TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WE, WE RECOGNIZE AND RESPECT THEIR ROLE, BUT ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

THEY MAY APPRECIATE HEARING FROM US. YOU KNOW, AND I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO, TO TELL THEM, YOU KNOW, WHILE WE RESPECT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW, A DELAY OF 300 TO $500,000 A MONTH.

I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S MONEY THAT'S NOT GOING TO KIDS, THAT'S GOING TO SOMEBODY ELSE. AND SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND THAT RIGHT BALANCE. AND I'M HOPEFUL THERE'S ENOUGH CPC MEMBERS THAT ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING THAT BALANCE SO THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH A SYSTEM THAT BEGINS TO ROLL THESE OUT IN A WAY THAT HONORS THEIR ROLE IN THE PROCESS, BUT ALSO DOES WHAT WE CAN TO PRESERVE AS MUCH FUNDS AS WE CAN FOR CPC.

I MEAN, FOR FOR OUR STUDENTS, SO AND FOR THESE BUILDINGS.

SO I'LL CERTAINLY BE REACHING OUT TO THE CPC MEMBER IN MY AREA.

AND YOU KNOW, SEEING WHAT I CAN DO TO, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW.

AND YOU KNOW, IF, IF PEOPLE THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA, I MIGHT ALSO SHOW UP NEXT WEEK AND TRY TO GRACIOUSLY ASK CPC TO, TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO WORK WITH US AS WE'RE ALL MOVING THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

OKAY. TRUSTEE GARCIA IS ROUND TWO ON THIS ITEM.

YEAH. OKAY. GO AHEAD. ROUND TWO. SO I WENT ON THE CITY WEBSITE AND THANK YOU, TRUSTEE FOREMAN FOR OFFERING AND ALL THE OTHER TRUSTEES THEIR ADVICE.

YOU KNOW, I'M PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT SAMUEL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OUR KIDS ARE ALREADY MAKING THE SACRIFICE.

I MEAN, THEY'RE THE COMMUNITY IS WATCHING THEIR SCHOOL GET DEMOLISHED AND THEY HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I KEEP SHARING THAT IT'S THERE'S A NEW SCHOOL COMING, AND SO I WANT TO KEEP IT VERY POSITIVE.

BUT WITH THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER SERRATOS EMAIL.

SO I THINK DOCTOR LEARY YOU HAVE THAT, SO CAN YOU SHARE SO THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN HAVE IT.

SO THEY CAN REACH OUT DIRECTLY. IT'S ALICIA.SERRATO SO AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE AS TRUSTEE GARCIA MENTIONED IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, AND I KNOW EVERY ONE OF THESE TRUSTS, ALL OF YOU TRUSTEES KNOW THIS HIGH SCHOOLS IN PARTICULAR ARE VERY DIFFICULT.

SO WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE IN A MIDDLE SCHOOL SETTING THAT WE RETROFITTED, AND THE STUDENTS, THE MAJORITY OF WHOM WILL NOT EVEN BENEFIT DIRECTLY FROM THIS $200 MILLION INVESTMENT.

AND SO I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES THAT EXIST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE YOU KNOW DOING WELL.

I JUST WANT EVERYONE CERTAINLY WE WOULD WANT OUR CPC TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY WERE INVOLVED IN BOTH THE VOTING OF THE BONDS AS WELL AS HELPING US DESIGN AS WE GET CLOSER TO ACTUALLY GETTING TO GO VERTICAL AT SOME POINT.

BUT EVERY SINGLE TIME WE DELAY, YES, IT'S MONEY, BUT IT'S ALSO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT OUR KIDS THEN CAN'T GET BACK INTO THEIR FACILITY.

AND IT WAS A VERY BIG STRUGGLE WITH SOUTH OAK CLIFF AS AN EXAMPLE, THAT WE HAD TO RELOCATE OVER TO OUR VILLAGE FAIR.

AND SO IT'S JUST, I KNOW IT BREAKS EVERYONE'S HEART UP HERE WHEN IT'S ALREADY THE DIFFICULT WAY TO DO IT BECAUSE WE COULD NOT KEEP THEM IN THE FACILITY. AND AGAIN, THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY OF A REPLACEMENT SCHOOL.

SO WE'RE NOT PUTTING UP SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WAS ALREADY THERE.

AND I HAVE SEEN OTHER PROJECTS GO BEFORE THE CPC.

I DID WATCH THE VIDEO. AND SO I JUST WOULD, WOULD LIKE OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. AND WE DO NEED ALL TRUSTEES TO HELP US.

[00:35:01]

ANYONE ELSE FOR 26.H? THE THE SAMUEL MATTER. IF NOT, THEN I THINK TRUSTEE TURNER YOU HAD 26.D YES.

26.D YES. SO BRENDA, IS THIS TWO POINT, $2 MILLION CHANGE ORDER.

IS IT GOING TO ADDRESS THE THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM, ALL THE RED TAGS THAT SKYLINE HAD AND THAT ISSUE? YES, SIR. THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT'S FOR.

OKAY. BECAUSE I KNOW LAST TIME WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING, IT WAS THE CONTRACTOR WAS BLAMING THE DISTRICT, THE DISTRICT BLAMING THE CONTRACTOR. AND NO ONE WANTED TO RESOLVE THIS.

SO ANY FUTURE ISSUES THAT HAPPEN WITH THESE FIRE ALARMS, WITH THIS CONTRACTOR, BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING IT? OR WOULD THAT BE THE DISTRICT'S JOB TO MAINTAIN IT? WELL, THIS WOULD BE A 100% BRAND NEW FIRE ALARM.

WE GET A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON LABOR AND PARTS, AND AFTER THAT IT TURNS BACK OVER TO THE DISTRICT.

BUT IT'S A BRAND NEW SYSTEM THAT WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY.

OKAY. FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. CORRECT. FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. TRUSTEES. ANYTHING ELSE? UNDER 26? OKAY, THEN BEFORE I GO TO 27, I THINK TRUSTEE MACKEY HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES GETTING ON TO THE MEETING. I THINK HE WANTED TO SPEAK TO 9.A TRUSTEE MACKEY.

YES, THANK YOU FOR THAT. SORRY FOR MY ISSUES WITH THAT.

AGAIN, I WISH I COULD BE WITH YOU IN PERSON TODAY, BUT THANKFULLY THEO IS ON THE MEND.

SO CW LOCAL AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE'S COMMENTS AT THE LAST MEETING AND AT THE LAST BRIEFING.

YOU WILL SEE TWO VERSIONS HERE. I'M NOT ONLY GOING TO SPEAK VERY BRIEFLY TO ONE OF THEM, I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY HAD QUITE A LONG MEETING HERE.

VERSION D IS ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN WRITTEN TO DATE.

AND THEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FEEDBACK FROM.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. TRUSTEE MICCICHE. TRUSTEE ED TURNER.

TRUSTEE GARCIA THAT WERE MENTIONED AT THE LAST BRIEFING.

BUT IN DOING AND LOOKING AT THAT, THAT ONE HAS BECOME SO MUCH BECAUSE WE'VE TRIED TO ADD AND ADJUST BASED ON EVERYBODY'S FEEDBACK OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.

SO ACTUALLY JUST GOING TO QUICKLY NOTE TO VERSION E, WHICH TRIES JUST SIMPLY TO SIMPLIFY AND ADD THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS THAT SO FAR HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM THE ENTIRE SET OF TRUSTEES TO AT LEAST STRENGTHEN OUR CURRENT POLICY WITHOUT ADDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF EXTRA HOOPS.

I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE FOUR ELEMENTS OF CW AND WELCOME, OF COURSE, ANY FEEDBACK AND ALSO WELCOME OTHER LANGUAGE OR AMENDMENTS, ETC. ON THIS. THE FIRST ONE IS SIMPLY ADDING A, IT'S EXACTLY OUR SAME EXISTING CW LOCAL POLICY.

IT ADDS ONE SENTENCE UNDER THE PROCESS FOR SELECTING A NAME THAT CLARIFIES THE PROPOSALS TO RENAME A FACILITY MAY MAY ORIGINATE FROM ANYWHERE. SO IT SAYS THAT IT EXPLICITLY NAMES THINGS LIKE THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, COMMUNITY MEMBERS OR TRUSTEE DISTRICT NAMING COMMITTEE, AS THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THE PAST, AND THAT THOSE ARE SUBMITTED TO THE PRINCIPAL FOR CLARITY. THEN THERE ARE TWO NEW SEGMENTS THAT ARE JUST CONSOLIDATIONS OF WHAT WE HAD BEFORE. NUMBER ONE, IT'S STARTING A NAMING PROCESS.

IF IT IS A SCHOOL, THE SBM SHOULD VOTE TO START THE NAMING PROCESS AS PART OF THAT, AND IT SPECIFIES EXACTLY THE BULLET POINTS THAT WERE IN THERE.

AND NOTES TO TRUSTEE GARCIA'S POINT LAST TIME THAT IF A SCHOOL OR FACILITY DOES NOT HAVE AN SBD, THIS PORTION IS MOOT. IT'S NOT REQUIRED. AND THEN, BECAUSE ESPECIALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD QUITE A BIT FROM THIS BOARD, I KNOW THIS BOARD AGREES IS AROUND COMMUNITIES HAVING A VOICE.

AND SO IT HAS INSTEAD OF A WHOLE SERIES OF LISTS OF THINGS AND DATES, ETC., IT JUST SIMPLY LISTS WHAT ARE THE COMMUNITY INPUT REQUIREMENTS TO CHANGE A NAME OR TO SUBMIT IT. NUMBER ONE, THERE MUST BE ONE PUBLICLY NOTICED COMMUNITY MEETING TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE AND ONE DISTRICT CENTRALIZED AND STANDARDIZED SURVEY THAT IS OPEN FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST TWO WEEKS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON THAT.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO REQUIREMENTS THAT THOSE TWO THINGS HAPPEN.

AND THEN THOSE THE RESULTS OF THOSE AND THE PAPERWORK LISTS OF EXACTLY THE THINGS BEING SUBMITTED ARE SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE PACKET TO ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE SURE THOSE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. IT ALSO NOTES THAT IF A TRUSTEE IS REPRESENTING A FACILITY AND THEY HAVE SOME OTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT, LIKE AN ALUMNI LETTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE TRUSTEE MAY FOR SURE HAVE THOSE SUBMITTED ALONG WITH THAT PACKET.

BUT WE DO MAKE IT A POINT HERE THAT, AND THIS WAS GREAT FEEDBACK FROM ADMINISTRATION AND SOME OTHER TRUSTEES LAST TIME, IS THAT IT'S THE BURDEN IS NOT ON ADMINISTRATION TO GO HUNT DOWN EVERY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND MAKE THEM WRITE A LETTER SO THEY HAVE THAT OPTION.

THE TRUSTEE CAN MAKE SURE IT'S INCLUDED, ETC..

SO IT JUST OUTLINES SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE ARE SOME STEPS OF COMMUNITY INPUT THAT SHOULD TAKE PLACE.

AND THEN IT GETS SUBMITTED. AND IT JUST NOTES THAT IF THERE'S A FACILITY, THIS IS, THIS IS A CHANGE FROM ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS ALSO,

[00:40:01]

SO I OFFER THIS AS A SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD AMENDMENT THAT KIND OF GETS TO SOME OF THE HEART OF WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT CLARIFYING SPECIFICALLY WHAT SHOULD BE PART OF IT AND WHAT IS OUT THERE WITHOUT PLACING ADDITIONAL BURDENS ON STAFF, ETC.. SO I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE BOARD AND WELCOME ANY FEEDBACK OR AMENDMENTS, ETC..

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ON ON THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT THEN.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEE MACKEY. THEN WE'LL TURN NOW TO 27 A OR B, ANYTHING UNDER 27 A OR B.

OKAY. SEEING NONE. THEN WE'LL TURN TO INTERNAL AUDIT DIVISION TRUSTEES.

[28. INTERNAL AUDIT DIVISION ]

ADJOURNMENT. THE TIME IS 8:38 P.M. AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
