THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OUR NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT PARTICULARLY TO THANK SO MANY INDIVIDUALS, STARTING WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO REGISTER STUDENTS ON OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

AND SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK IN THAT VEIN.

AND WE ALSO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COUNTRIES WHO WHO LITERALLY ARE HAVING WARS OVER THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

AND HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL QUALIFY CAN DO.

SO. SO I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND TO ENCOURAGE OUR EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT AND AUXILIARY STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN VOTING NOVEMBER 8TH, NOT THIS COMING TUESDAY, BUT THE TUESDAY AFTER THAT.

OUR SCHOOLS THAT ARE MANY OF WHICH ARE USED AS VOTING LOCATIONS, WE WILL NOT HAVE SCHOOL THAT DAY SO THAT OUR CITIZENS CAN CERTAINLY GO TO THE POLLS AS WELL AS ANY OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS.

RECENTLY WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED WHAT EVERYONE I THINK THERE'S GENERALLY QUITE A BIT OF CONVERSATION AROUND NAEP RESULTS UNTIL COVID AND THERE WAS A YEAR THAT WAS PUT ON PAUSE.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF DATA BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

THE TEST WAS ADMINISTERED TO THOSE DISTRICTS WHO PARTICIPATE AND DALLAS ISD IS A PARTICIPATING DISTRICT.

AND WHAT WE DO SEE IS THAT WE SEE THAT WE'VE HAD THE STEADY RESULTS FROM 2019 AND IT ESTABLISHES A BASELINE FOR GROWTH.

WHAT IT DOESN'T CAPTURE IS IT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE ACTUAL GROWTH THAT TOOK PLACE FROM THE SIGNIFICANT LOSS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

AND SO I KNOW THERE WILL BE MORE NEWS AND DATA THAT WILL BE PROVIDING IN OUR BOARD UPDATE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THIS COMING WEEKEND.

IT IS GREAT TO SEE HIS EFFORTS AND HIS COMMITMENT BEING RECOGNIZED AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.

ROBERT CECCARELLI.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? WE'RE WELCOME TO SUPERINTENDENT.

I'M SURE YOU'VE MET ME BEFORE.

I NEED TO SHUT OFF MY PHONE.

OKAY. I CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SCHOOL BOARD'S INTEREST IN EDUCATION.

THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE.

AND I'M BRINGING IT TO YOU, MS. SUPERINTENDENT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SOUTH DALLAS A LOT.

AND TODAY I WAS TALKING TO MRS. WILLIAMS OFFICE, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SOUTH DALLAS, AND ABOUT MAKING HIGH SCHOOL AND THE COLLEGE READINESS SCORES.

I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD HAVE THE INFORMATION.

I TALKED TO THE SECRETARY, BUT I GUESS YOU DON'T.

MS. SUPERINTENDENT.

MS., I CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME.

I WAS HOPING YOU SEE THEM AND GET THE TEST RESULTS TO DATA FOR LINCOLN AND TO 2020 COLLEGE READINESS.

I'M REALLY ASKING YOU TO DO THIS BECAUSE I'M BIG ON THIS EDUCATION IN SOUTH DALLAS AND WHAT I SAW IN MADISON IN 2015, IT WAS DISGUSTING.

VERY DISGUSTING.

WHAT I SAW WITH MIKE MILES AND WORRIED ABOUT.

MARY WILLOCK'S JOB AND NOT TALKING ABOUT TEST SCORES.

I HOPE YOU CHANGE THIS ATTITUDE IMMEDIATELY.

SOUTH DALLAS IS TOUGH.

THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO NOT DO ANYTHING.

IT'S LIKE UNTOUCHABLE.

BUT I'M ASKING YOU, YOU GOT TO HAVE THE GUTS.

IT'S TERRIBLE.

IT'S TERRIBLE. I'M TELLING WHAT I SAW.

YOU SHOULD BELIEVE. YOU SHOULD KNOW ME BY NOW.

ALSO, STAAR TESTS.

WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT TEACHER INSTRUCTION AND PRINCIPALS.

WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT TUTORING AT ALL.

NEVER. ESPECIALLY UNDER MIKE MILES.

ESPECIALLY UNDER MIKE MILES.

MIKE MCGRATH, WHO'S A BIG MIKE MILES SUPPORTER, TALKED ABOUT TUTORING WAS THE WAY IT WENT WITH THE STAAR TEST.

I WAS SURPRISED HE SAID THAT BECAUSE MILES NEVER TALKED ABOUT TUTORING.

ALSO WITH THE NAEP TESTS, THE PRESIDENT THERE SAID HIGH DOSES OF TUTORING IS NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE TEST SCORES.

YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS AROUND.

SUPER SCHOOL BOARD PERSON OVER TO MY LEFT.

SHE IS IN FAVOR OF TUTORING, TUTORING, TUTORING, TUTORING.

YOU NEED TO BRING IT UP LIKE YOU DO WITH THE TEACHERS, LIKE YOU DO WITH THE PRINCIPALS.

IF YOU DON'T, THE PARENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN IT.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? I MEAN IT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME RIGHT NOW? I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT YOU DON'T LISTEN.

YOU DON'T LISTEN AT ALL.

BUT NEXT MONTH, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOUTH DALLAS.

MADISON HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT IS A DISASTER.

A BIG DISASTER.

MA'AM, I WANT YOU TO LISTEN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

YOU CAN TALK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT IT, WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY, OK.

THANK YOU, MR. CICCARELLI.

YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED.

CHRIS GORSKI, FOLLOWED BY REBECCA KORNBLUM, WILLIAM HOPKINS AND JEREMY ZAHN ON DECK.

YES. MY NAME IS CHRIS GORSKI.

I'M A PARENT AND A VOLUNTEER AT STEVENS PARK ELEMENTARY.

THE TWO THINGS THAT I'VE REALLY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT MY TAXES JUST WENT UP.

SO. I MEAN, EVEN $100 MORE, WE LIVE IN A WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, SO I'M ALWAYS HEARING ABOUT THE TEACHERS NEEDING MORE MONEY. BUT YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT THE TAS, THE STAFF, WHICH IS YOUR CUSTODIANS, YOUR CAFETERIA PEOPLE, EVEN YOUR DISD POLICE.

IF A TEACHER IS WORKING AND THEY EVEN WORK A LITTLE EXTRA, THEY'RE MAKING AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, THAN A POLICE OFFICER DOES.

THE OFFICERS ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE.

AND I REALLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO GIVE ALL OF THEM MORE MONEY.

TA DOES EVERYTHING A TEACHER DOES, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE THE DEGREE.

BUT THE PROBLEM THERE IS THAT IF A TEACHER HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE, THEY TAKE OVER FOR THEM.

AND I REALLY THINK THEY NEED MORE MONEY.

THE SECOND THING WAS BEFORE COVID, WHEN DEPUTY CHIEF OFFICER RODRIGUEZ WAS STILL ON, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THEY WERE IN THE WORKS OF TRYING TO GET AN OFFICER FOR EVERY 500 STUDENTS.

RIGHT NOW IT IS FOR EVERY 1000.

THERE IS NOT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT IS UP THERE AT 1000.

[00:35:01]

AND I REALLY THINK WE NEED AN OFFICER ON DECK AT ALL TIMES.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY ALL I NEEDED TO SAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

REBECCA CORN BLOOM, FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM HOPKINS, JEREMY ZAHN AND DAVID GRIFFIN ON DECK.

HI, MY NAME IS BECCA KORNBLUM.

I'M HERE WITH THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT, WHERE A GROUP OF PEOPLE ADVOCATING FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I ALSO WORKED AT BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF GREATER DALLAS FOR MANY YEARS, AND I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT DISD STUDENTS AND EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I'M HERE TODAY TO ADVOCATE FOR FREE DART FOR K THROUGH 12 STUDENTS.

WE'VE WORKED WITH THE DART BOARD ALREADY AND WE'VE TALKED TO DALLAS CITY COUNCIL.

AND TODAY WE'RE HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN FREE DART FOR STUDENTS.

I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE RIDING PUBLIC TRANSIT AND WHY I BELIEVE THIS PROGRAM IS A NECESSARY INVESTMENT FOR DISD STUDENTS.

WHEN I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, I WAS INITIALLY UNABLE TO AFFORD A CAR.

FIRST I RODE MY BIKE EVERYWHERE, WHICH WAS FUN BUT SWEATY.

AND SO THEN I LEARNED TO COMBINE BIKING AND TRANSIT, AND IT OPENED UP THE CITY FOR ME.

I WROTE TO WORK ON THE BUS.

I COULD MEET FRIENDS AND FAMILY USING THE TRAIN, AND I WAS GENERALLY ABLE TO GET EVERYWHERE I NEEDED IN A WAY I COULD AFFORD.

WITH THAT EXPERIENCE, I AM NOW A CONFIDENT TRANSIT RIDER AND ADVOCATE.

I BELIEVE WE NEED TO INVEST IN FREE DART FOR STUDENTS FOR MANY REASONS.

FIRST, CAR OWNERSHIP IS A FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FOR FAMILIES.

THE CURRENT DART REDUCED FARE PROGRAM, WHERE STUDENTS CAN APPLY TO RECEIVE HALF OFF FARE, STILL COSTS $48 A MONTH PER STUDENT.

I THINK THAT IS TOO MUCH OF A BARRIER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SIBLINGS.

THAT'S BASICALLY THE COST OF A CAR WITH TWO, THREE, FOUR STUDENTS THAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR.

LAST SCHOOL YEAR, 85% OF DISD STUDENTS WERE REPORTED AS ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, WHICH I'M SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT NUMBER.

TRANSPORTATION IS ONE COST BURDEN THAT WE CAN TAKE OFF OF OUR FAMILIES.

SECOND, EXPERIENCE WITH TRANSIT AS AT A YOUNG AGE CAN HELP STUDENTS CONFIDENTLY RIDE TRANSIT AS ADULTS AND SUPPORT OUR CITY'S NECESSARY TRANSITION AWAY FROM PRIVATE VEHICLE USE.

I KNOW THIS PERSONALLY BECAUSE OF MY TRANSIT EXPERIENCE RIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL.

I'M TEACHING MY PARENTS HOW TO TAKE DART.

I TELL FRIENDS TO TAKE A DART TO THE AIRPORT IF THEY HAVE A FLIGHT.

IT'S SUPER EASY ON THE THE ORANGE LINE.

THE CITY OF DALLAS HAS A GOAL OF REDUCING SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLE TRIPS FOR BOTH POLLUTION AND CONGESTION ISSUES.

AND THIS INVESTMENT WITH OUR DISD STUDENTS WOULD SUPPORT THE CITY'S GOAL.

LASTLY, RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT FREE TRANSIT CAN HELP STUDENTS CAN HELP REDUCE STUDENT ABSENCES.

SINCE COVID STUDENTS HAVE LOST SO MUCH ACADEMIC PROGRESS THAT DISD HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY FOR A DECADE.

WE NEED TO REDUCE ALL BARRIERS TO EDUCATION.

WE HAVE THIS FUNDING.

I HAVE 5 SECONDS. I'M SORRY WE HAVE THIS FUNDING.

AND IT WOULD BE AN EASY YES IF DISD WOULD JOIN US IN THIS SUPPORT.

WILL YOU SUPPORT FREE DART FOR STUDENTS? WILLIAM HOPKINS NOT PRESENT.

FOLLOWED BY DAVID GRIFFIN.

GEORGE RANGEL AND SHEILA WALKER ON DECK.

THAT'S OKAY. I.

CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME? MY NAME IS JEREMY ZEN.

I'M FROM THE TUNICA BILOXI INDIAN RESERVATION.

ALSO MISSISSIPPI BAND OF CHOCTAW INDIANS.

[INAUDIBLE].

FOR THOSE WHO SPEAK CHOCTAW, I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE DALLAS INTER-TRIBAL CENTER, NOW KNOWN AS TEXAS NATIVE HEALTH.

I'M JOINED HERE TODAY BY MICHAEL TAKUMI IN THE BACK.

HE'S KIOWA, JESSICA JOHNSON, SEMINOLE, CHOCTAW AND CHICKASAW AND ALSO ALEJANDRO CABRERA.

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DALLAS INTER-TRIBAL CENTER.

WE'RE HERE TO ADVOCATE TODAY FOR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE ARE THE ONLY TITLE FIVE ORGANIZATION IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW, MEANING WE ARE THE SAFETY NET PROVIDER FOR ALL NATIVE AMERICANS AND ALASKA NATIVES IN TEXAS. WE PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES, CULTURAL HEALTH SERVICES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION.

RECENTLY, WE WERE AWARDED A GRANT THROUGH THE OFFICE OF INDIAN EDUCATION, THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, FOR A FIVE YEAR GRANT.

THIS ALLOWS US TO ASSIST NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH NOT JUST IN DALLAS BUT THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS.

[00:40:07]

WE'VE TRIED AND TRIED AND TRIED AND IT'S BEEN LIKE BARRIERS FOR YOU GUYS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

SO I FIGURED I'D COME HERE TODAY AND ASK IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE WILLING TO PARTNER WITH THIS.

THIS GRANT REQUIRES VERY LITTLE FROM THE DISTRICT.

IN FACT, IT ONLY REQUIRES THREE DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES.

I'VE GOT THE PAPERWORK HERE.

I'LL SEND IT TO YOU GUYS LATER.

THE FIRST OBJECTIVE WOULD BE WE'RE WILLING TO PROVIDE CULTURAL EDUCATION ACTIVITIES.

YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THAT.

THAT'S HOUSED IN OUR BUILDING.

THE SECOND WOULD BE ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE IN IT, BY THE WAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE NATIVE AMERICAN.

THE SECOND WOULD BE STEM ACTIVITIES.

THESE WOULD HAPPEN ON A QUARTERLY BASIS AND AN ANNUAL STEM CAMP.

AND THE THIRD WOULD BE BECAUSE WE KNOW, AS THE GENTLEMAN ADVOCATED EARLIER, THAT TUTORING IS AN ISSUE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THAT ON.

IF YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO PARTNER WITH THIS, ANY ANY STUDENT THAT'S DEEMED AT RISK BY YOU GUYS, YOU COULD REFER THEM TO US.

WE HAVE TEACHERS AND STAFF THAT ARE CAPABLE OF THAT.

WE'D BE ABLE TO ASSIST THAT STUDENT WITH CUSTOMIZED TUTORING AND SO FORTH.

THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING, IS TO PARTNER.

BY THE WAY, NOVEMBER IS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH.

I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE OUR PEOPLE THAN TO PARTNER UP WITH THE NUMBER ONE SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DAY FOR JUST EVEN LISTENING TO ME TODAY.

AND THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ICE.

THANK YOU.

DAVID GRIFFIN, FOLLOWED BY JORGE RANGEL, SHEILA WALKER.

AND YOU REACHED THE BYNUM ON DECK.

NOT PRESENT JORGE RANGEL, FOLLOWED BY SHEILA WALKER.

GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT HENRY TRUSTEE SUPERINTENDENT ELIZALDE.

MY NAME IS JORGE RANGEL.

THREE THREE FOURTHS INDUSTRY.

DALLAS, TEXAS 75208.

I'M THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ALLIANCE.

I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TONIGHT ABOUT TEACHER CONTRACTS.

WE CONTINUE TO FACE DIFFICULT TIMES IN RECRUITING AND RETAINING EMPLOYEES IN THE DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY TEACHERS.

AS YOU LOOKED AT THE STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS IN GPM, 2.1 AND 3.1, DURING THE BOARD BRIEFING, YOU SAW PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS HAVING EXPERIENCED TEACHERS, NOT A SUB, NOT A TEACHER ASSISTANT IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS.

WE NEED TEACHERS WHO KNOW THEIR CRAFT.

CURRENTLY WE ARE SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS ASSESSING AND REEVALUATING TEACHERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEEMED PROFICIENT, EXEMPLARY, OR DTF BASED ON THE TY SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE.

THE TIME AND ATTENTION BY QUALIFIED APPRAISER NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED TO SPEND QUALITY TIME MENTORING AND GROWING THE UNSATISFACTORY AND PROGRESSING RATED TEACHERS.

IMPLEMENT A ONE ON ONE PROGRAM FOR OUR NOVICE TEACHERS.

A NEW TEACHER HAS TO LEARN HOW TO BE EVALUATED.

A PACKET WAS PROVIDED TO YOU.

BEFORE THEY START TEACHING, BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SUBJECT OR SUBJECTS, THEY'RE TEACHING GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AND NUMEROUS FORMS THEY HAVE TO FILL OUT THAT ARE REQUIRED.

AND THERE'S MANY MORE TO LIST.

THIS IN ADDITION TO WHAT TEACHERS NEED TO DO TO PREPARE TO TEACH, THE STUDENT ALLIANCE IS ASKING YOU TO STEP BACK, REEVALUATE THE CURRENT TEACHER TEACHER RETENTION PRACTICES AT HAND.

CURRENTLY, DALLAS ISD ISSUES A ONE YEAR CONTRACT TO ALL TEACHERS ALLIANCE AFT IS PROPOSING THAT YOU CONSIDER ISSUING 2 TO 5 YEAR TIER CONTRACTS BASED ON THE TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS. EFFECTIVENESS RATING REDUCED THE NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS FOR PROFICIENT, EXEMPLARY AND ETR TEACHERS AND FOCUS ON THE MENTORING AND GROWING THE UNSATISFACTORY AND PROGRESSING TEACHERS.

IF THE GOAL IS TO RETAIN AND GROW OUR TEACHERS, WE NEED TO CHANGE WHAT WE'RE DOING.

UNLESS BOARD MEMBERS, YOUR FOCUS IS TO HAVE UNSATISFACTORY AND PROGRESSING TEACHERS TO JUSTIFY T.I TAKE THE TIME TO REFLECT AND CONSIDER TIER 2 TO 5 YEAR CONTRACTS TO GROW, MENTOR AND RETAIN OUR TEACHERS.

TRUST THEM. TO BE THE PROFESSIONALS THAT YOU HIRED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

THANK YOU. SHEILA WALKER, FOLLOWED BY YOU, RICHARD BYNUM, JUSTIN BYNUM AND CHET THORPE ON DECK.

GOOD EVENING. I'M SHEILA WALKER.

PRESIDENT OF BENNETT DALLAS, I WANT TO SAY HI TO.

SUPERINTENDENT SOLDI OUR BOARD TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT JUSTIN HENRY.

I'M COMING AGAIN THIS MONTH.

SPEAKING ABOUT THE LACK OF RESPECT AS SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OR BUS LOTS.

I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES OF DALLAS ISD UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE AND WE LEARN HOW TO RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.

[00:45:01]

MY WORD IS TOXIC LEADERS.

THE WORD TOXIC MEANS POISONOUS, VERY HARMFUL, UNPLEASANT, PERVASIVE, OR INDIGENOUS WAY OR OTHER WAYS OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS AND ENVIRONMENT.

I'VE HEARD FROM MANY MEMBERS COMPLAINING ABOUT TOXIC LEADERS ON THESE CAMPUSES AND BUS LOTS.

THE TOXIC PEOPLE I'M DESCRIBING ARE SOME OF OUR PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS AT THE BUS LOTS.

THEY ARE DIFFICULT AND CAUSES A LOT OF CONFLICT AT THE WORKSITE THAT CAUSES EMPLOYEES A LOT OF STRESS, UNPLEASANTNESS THAT CAN LEAD TO EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL PAIN. EMPLOYEES ARE USING MORE DAYS THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE.

THERE USED TO BE TIMES WHEN PEOPLE LOVE TO COME TO WORK, BUT I HEAR SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

SO MANY PEOPLE ARE WANTING TO TAKE ALMA OR JUST LEAVE EDUCATION ALTOGETHER.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, MANAGERS OF THE BUS LOTS MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN UNPRODUCTIVE AT ONE SITE.

I CALL IT TOXIC WHEN STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO MISTREAT EDUCATORS AND NOT BEING THAT AND WE'RE NOT BEING SUPPORTED BY OUR BOSSES.

STUDENTS ARE BEING DISRUPTIVE ON THE BUSSES AND IN CLASSROOMS AND ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO RIDE THE BUS WHEN IT'S REPORTED.

AND NO CONSEQUENCES OF BEING DONE.

AT ONE SCHOOL IN PARTICULAR, THE TEACHER WAS THREATENED BY THE STUDENT, THEN THE STUDENT WAS REMOVED, ACCORDING TO EDUCATION CODE, CHAPTER 37.

IF I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY, EDUCATION CODE CHAPTER 37 ADDRESSES SAFE SCHOOLS, STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT.

A STUDENT WHO ENGAGES IN CORRUPT BEHAVIOR.

WE NEED PRODUCTIVE LEADERS ON THESE CAMPUSES AND THE BUS LOTS, NOT JUST THE WARM BODY.

I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.

STOP. WE ARE LEADERS.

ALL OF US ARE LEADERS, EVEN IN THE MIDDLE, ON THE TOP OF WHEREVER.

AND WE BLEED DALLAS ISD.

IF WE ARE WILLING TO RISK OUR RESOURCES, OPPORTUNITIES AND SUCCESS, THEN WE SHOULD WIN THE RESPECT OF OUR LEADERS.

AND I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THE MAIN THOUGHT IS THINK ABOUT CHANGING THE WORD THE POLICY FOR SUPPORT EMPLOYEES AND GIVE US DUE PROCESS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THE ARETHA BYNUM NOT PRESENT.

I'M HERE. I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE OKAY. I'M ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT JUSTIN AND CHAD ARE NOT HERE EITHER.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

JUSTIN BYNUM NOT PRESENT.

CHET THORPE NOT PRESENT.

REENA JONI FOLLOWED BY HOPE, ENDEARING AND ON DECK.

MIKE HOOK.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT HENRY, TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT LASALLE DAY.

I'M RENA HONI, PRESIDENT OF ALLIANCE HFT, AND I LIVE IN DISTRICT SEVEN.

I'M SPEAKING TO A NON AGENDA ITEM SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SOME OF OUR SUPPORT EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAIR DAY.

THE ALLIANCE OFFICE CONTINUES TO RECEIVE CALLS WITH THE MESSAGE THAT SOME OF OUR MEMBERS AND YOUR EMPLOYEES DID NOT RECEIVE PAY FOR THEIR FAIR DAY OR THEY WERE DOCKED FOR TAKING THEIR FAIR DAY, OR THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR FAIR DAY AT ALL.

USING DOCUMENTATION FROM DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS TO THE EMPLOYEES, WE NOTIFIED THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE'S NOT BEEN FULL RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME.

THESE EMPLOYEES FEEL DISRESPECTED AND OF NO VALUE WHEN TREATED SO INAPPROPRIATELY.

THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY FIX FOR THE DISTRICT TO CORRECT.

THE EXPECTATION IS FOR THE DISTRICT TO ENSURE THAT ALL EMPLOYEES ARE MADE WHOLE.

DO THE RIGHT THING BY THESE IMPORTANT AND LOYAL WORKERS TO ENSURE THIS WRONG IS POSITIVELY RESOLVED FOR ALL OF THEM RENDERED THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU.

HOPE INDRANEE FOLLOWED BY MIKE HOOK.

HOPE INJURY NOT PRESENT.

OUR LAST SPEAKER IS MIKE HOOK.

FIRST, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO WENT TO AUSTIN TO AUSTIN AND TESTIFIED AGAINST THE PROPOSED CURRICULUM THAT SOUGHT TO REMOVE HISTORICAL FIGURES THAT INCLUDED LINCOLN, TWO ROOSEVELTS, KENNEDY, REAGAN, TRUMP, SAMUEL ADAMS, PAUL REVERE, JIM BAILEY, AND PATRICK

[00:50:03]

THIS APPEARS NOT TO BE THE HARD WORK OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT OF THE CONCERNED PARENTS WHO REFUSED TO ALLOW OUR HISTORY TO BE AIRBRUSHED AND ALTERED TO FIT A POLITICAL NARRATIVE.

THIS FIGHT ISN'T OVER, JUST ON PAUSE.

THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION GOES BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TO REASSESS AND REGROUP ON WHAT THEY THINK AMERICAN CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT.

TODAY, WE HAVE YET ANOTHER HIGHLY CONCERNING ISSUE SEX EDUCATION.

SOME PARENTS MIGHT WANT SCHOOLS TO DO THAT, BUT I ASSURE YOU MANY PARENTS DO NOT.

ANY SEX EDUCATION SHOULD BE OPT IN.

ONLY THIS OPT IN IS BY PARENTS ONLY.

OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT GOVERNMENT PROPERTY ANY SEX CHAT GROUPS THAT DISD.

SPEAKING OF CLEAN AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENTS, ANY SEX CHAT GROUPS THAT DISD IS HOSTING SHALL BE OPT IN ONLY. ANY QUICK ESCAPE BARS ON EVERY CHAT THAT, IF CLICKED, SWITCHES THE SCREEN TO THE GOOGLE HOME PAGE SO TEENS CAN HIDE THEIR PARTICIPATION FROM THEIR PARENTS IS DISALLOWED.

DALLAS IS NOW RANKED THE SECOND HIGHEST CITY FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE NATION, ACCORDING TO NEILL DAVIS LAW FIRM.

DALLAS IS RANKED IN THE TOP FIVE WORST CITIES.

THE DANGERS OF UNSUPERVISED INTERNET ACCESS AND PROGRAMS OF THIS NATURE, WHICH INVOLVE CHILDREN, WILL ONLY CONTRIBUTE TO POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS.

WE MUST ENSURE THAT THIS GARBAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO OUR DISD STUDENTS.

PROVIDE SAFE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR OUR KIDS.

I IMPLORE YOU TO ENSURE ALL SEX EDUCATION COURSES FOR STRAIGHT AND LGBTQ KIDS ARE OPT IN PROGRAMS WHICH PARENTS CHOOSE BY OPT IN.

ONLY PARENTS WILL NAVIGATE THEIR CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT.

NOT THE STATE, NOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, NOT THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS, NOT ANY NONPROFIT ENTITIES, JUST PARENTS. THE PARENT FROM LAST MEETING WHO MENTIONED ATROCIOUS TREATMENT TO HER LITTLE GIRL, DID SHE GET ADDRESSED? YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.

PRESIDENT HENRY, THIS CONCLUDES OUR SPEAKERS.

THANK YOU, MRS. JORDAN.
