I WILL CALL FOUR SPEAKERS AT A TIME.

WILL THE FIRST TWO SPEAKERS PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? JANET MARIANI AND MIKE HOOK, FOLLOWED BY ROBERT CECCARELLI AND JORGE CASTRO ON DECK.

[00:05:13]

OKAY. THANK YOU.

AM I ON? HI.

I BELIEVE IN WE THE PEOPLE.

IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL.

WE'VE BEEN WATCHING OUR KIDS YEAR AFTER YEAR, NOT HAVE TOP RESULTS IN THEIR SCHOOL YEAR.

WE'VE FOUGHT COVID, LOCKDOWNS, TRANSGENDERISM, MASKING OUR YOUNG KIDS, PORNOGRAPHY IN THE SCHOOLS, TAKING GOD OUT OF THE CLASSROOMS AND HARDLY A CHILD UNDERSTANDS THEIR OWN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

HOW MANY COULD POSSIBLY NAME THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, OR EVEN KNOW WE ARE MEANT TO BE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AND WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY ONLY. AND THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

WHAT HAPPENED NOVEMBER 5TH WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

AND AS I SAID MANY TIMES, WHEN THE TRUTH FINALLY COMES OUT ABOUT WHAT THE LEFT HAS DONE TO OUR NATION WILL BE THE BIGGEST SHOCK TO THOSE THAT AREN'T AWAKE.

WE HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS THAT ONLY KNOW HOW ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR OWN INTERESTS AT HEART.

THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT US.

THEY SPEND MONEY BECAUSE THEY CAN PRINT IT AND TAX US.

WELL, THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN AND I WOULD SAY TO MOST OF CONGRESS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, PRESERVE YOUR DOCUMENTS AND LAWYER UP.

AND THEN OUR MANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING TO DALLAS.

WE HAVE TAKEN GOD OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS UNFORTUNATELY, WE WORK VERY HARD TO ELECT THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

AND CHANGE IS DEFINITELY COMING.

EVERYONE WILL BE LIFTED HIGHER.

OUR GROCERIES WILL NOT BE SKY HIGH PRICING, REDUCING GAS PRICING, OUR THREAT OF WORLD WAR THREE WILL CEASE AND STOP THESE ENDLESS HORRIBLE ROADS.

OUR FOOD SUPPLY WILL CHANGE FROM THOUSANDS OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS AND WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD.

MOST OF CONGRESS IS CORRUPTED AND THAT BLEEDS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOCAL LEVEL.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WE SHOULD NOT BE LIVING WITH INFLATION.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA'S CRIMINAL? AND IT'S ALL SOON TO BE EXPOSED, AND I'VE SAVED THE BEST PART.

CONSERVATIVE STUDENTS HAVE SAVED THIS ELECTION AND ARE NOW THE ONES RAGING AGAINST THE MACHINE.

AND WHAT MACHINE IS THAT? IT IS MARXIST ACADEMIC INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX THAT HAS INFILTRATED AND OVERTAKEN MOST OF OUR CAMPUSES TODAY.

I WELCOME OUR NEW SECRETARY OF EDUCATION, LINDA MCMAHON, A FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS, UNIVERSAL SCHOOL CHOICE, GIVING CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION, REGARDLESS OF ZIP CODES OR INCOME.

SHE WILL USE HER YEARS DECADES OF LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE AND DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH EDUCATION AND BUSINESS TO EMPOWER GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS, WORKERS AND MAKE AMERICA NUMBER ONE IN EDUCATION.

AND WE WILL SEND EDUCATION BACK TO THE STATES.

GOD OBVIOUSLY HEARD US.

THANK YOU. YOUR TIME HAS ENDED.

MIKE HOOK.

DISD STOP ENSLAVING CITIZENS, TEACHERS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES.

GET RID OF TEI, IMPROVE EMPLOYEES HEALTH CARE PLANS.

STOP YOUR TYRANNY OVER WHAT SHOULD BE EDUCATION.

THE FUNDAMENTAL REASON DISD EXISTS IS TURNING OUT LITERATE AMERICANS IN THE THREE R'S READING, WRITING AND ARITHMETIC PLUS CRITICAL THINKING. STOP YOUR DELIBERATE FAILURE.

ONE STUDENT RECENTLY TOLD ME HE BELIEVES DISD SHOULD FOCUS ON COLLEGE/WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS AS A PRIORITY OVER THE THREE R'S.

YOU HAVE MANY YOUNG PEOPLE BELIEVING DISD DOGMA.

STOP DELIBERATELY MISLEADING YOUNG PEOPLE.

THE THREE R'S ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR ALL PREPAREDNESS REPORT 12TH GRADE EXIT SCORES.

STOP PLAYING LAWYERS LEGALESE GAMES.

NUMBER TEN, DO NOT WASTE TIME ON POP MUSIC ARTIST COMMENTARY ON OCTOBER 24'S BOARD MEETING.

A SOLID, FULL BLOOD AMERICAN TEACHER STOOD AGAINST YOUR ASSAULT ON SOCIETY.

SHE EXHIBITED LEADERSHIP DURING A TIME OF DISEASE, FRAUD, SO-CALLED LISTENING MEETINGS PARENTS, TAXPAYERS, TEACHERS AND BUS DRIVERS.

LET'S STAND UP FOR REESTABLISHING THE THREE R'S.

[00:10:01]

YOUNGSTERS INNATELY SEEK AND NEED GUIDANCE.

DISD WILL NOT STOP UNTIL WE UNITE ALL OF US AND INSIST ON OUR TEACHER'S FREEDOM TO WRITE LESSON PLANS THAT ACCOMPLISH THE THREE R'S.

THE CURRENT DISD OPERATION IS EXACTLY WHY AMERICA WAS FOUNDED, WITH TRAPPING AND STOPPING MECHANISMS FOR TYRANNICAL BEHAVIOR.

FOLKS LIKE NUMBER FIVE LIKE TO MAJOR IN EVERYTHING BUT READING, WRITING, AND MATH, SUCH AS HOOKING UP HIS BUDDY WITH SIGNAGE OVER KENNEDY CURRY MIDDLE SCHOOL, TAX TEXAS UNIPARTY ESTABLISHMENT PEOPLE SUCH AS GREG ABBOTT, MIKE MORATH AND TODD WILLIAMS DO DATA HARVESTING, AI, PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS AND PROFILING OF CITIZENS THROUGH FALSE EDUCATION TECH BILLS.

PLEASE DO CALL THE SBOE THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO TO TEXAS BLUEBONNET.

THAT'S 512-463- 9007, 512-463-9007.

NUMBER TEN, WOULD YOU TELL THE PARENTS HOW SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING MESHES BEAUTIFULLY WITH THIS BIG TECH, BIG MONEY CYCLE? NUMBER FIVE IS MAXEY JOHNSON AND NUMBER TEN IS ELIZALDE.

WILL THE NEXT TWO SPEAKERS PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? ROBERT CECCARELLI, GEORGE CASTRO, CHADREA LEBOUVIER AND GEORGE RINGJEL ON DECK.

ROBERT CECCARELLI NOT PRESENT.

JORGE CASTRO NOT PRESENT.

I'M PRESENT. THIS IS CHADREA LEBOUVIER.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

I'M BACK AGAIN.

I ADDRESSED YOU ALL LAST MONTH, AND I'M HERE AGAIN BECAUSE THE DAY AFTER I ADDRESSED YOU, I WENT AND WALKED MY DOG.

AND I WALKED MY DOG AT NIGHT, AND A CAR CAME UP FROM BEHIND US AND IT ALMOST HIT ME.

AND IT HIT MY DOG AND BROKE HER PELVIS IN TWO PLACES.

IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN SEND YOU THOSE X-RAYS TO BENEFITS COMMITTEE.

I TOOK THE ADVICE OF YOUR COMMITTEE THAT WHEN I ASKED FOR ACCOMMODATIONS THAT YOU TREATED AS SUGGESTIONS, NOT RIGHTS, TO ARRIVE EARLY AND LEAVE LATER, I ALMOST GOT KILLED.

I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR.

SO I'M BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME REQUEST.

JUST A LITTLE BIT LOUDER.

I ASKED YOU ALL LAST TIME FOR A RELEASE FROM THE DISTRICT, A SEPARATION WITH SEVERANCE, AND I ASKED THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT I'VE BEEN TREATED, THE ADA ACCOMMODATIONS THAT I HAVE REQUESTED HAVE BEEN IGNORED.

AND BECAUSE I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO TEACH STUDENTS FOR CLASSES THAT I HAVE NEVER TAKEN BEFORE.

YOU ALL HAVE A COPY OF MY TRANSCRIPT.

THIS IS NOT NEWS, OKAY? IT IS UNFAIR TO ME AND IT IS UNFAIR TO THOSE KIDS.

I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH YOU ALL SINCE JULY THAT THOSE CHILDREN DESERVE AN ART TEACHER WITH AN ART BACKGROUND.

I'M AN ART HISTORIAN.

I AM MANY THINGS, BUT NOT STUDIO ART.

I CAN EVEN SEND YOU A COPY OF A BOOK THAT I'VE PUBLISHED, WHICH IS A MONOGRAPH OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT'S WORK, OF WHOM I AM AN EXPERT IN. I AM HERE AS A TEACHER BECAUSE DISD LAUNCHED ME INTO THE NATIONAL SPHERE AND LAUNCHED MY EDUCATION FROM CARTER.

I WENT TO WILLIAMS COLLEGE IN UCLA FOR MY GRADUATE WORK.

I AM NOT ABOVE WORKING WITH THESE STUDENTS, BUT I AM ABOVE THIS.

AND YOU KNOW THAT I AM UNQUALIFIED AND YOU DO IT TO THESE KIDS BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK, THEY ARE BROWN, THEY ARE UNDOCUMENTED AND THEY ARE POOR. AND YOU DO NOT THINK THAT ANYONE WILL CARE FOR YOU.

IT IS AN ART STUDIO CLASS THAT YOU ARE USING TO WAREHOUSE THESE KIDS.

FOR THEM, IT IS 15% OF THEIR GRADE THAT THEY MUST TAKE TO GRADUATE.

I DIDN'T MAKE UP THOSE RULES.

YOU DID. SO THESE KIDS IN A FEW WEEKS ARE GOING TO TAKE A TEST WITH A TEACHER THAT THEY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'VE BEEN UNQUALIFIED WITH THE ENTIRE TIME, AND IT DETERMINES IF THEY GET TO PASS OR FAIL.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

MY REQUEST IS THE SAME.

I HAVE ASKED PRIVATELY AND QUIETLY, THE NEXT TIME THAT I HAVE TO COME HERE, I WILL INVITE FRIENDS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY.

[00:15:02]

THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR THIS TO BE A PUBLIC CONVERSATION.

THANK YOU.

JORGE RANGEL.

FOLLOWED BY ELIZABETH FERRIS AND THOMAS SABO.

GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT CARRION, TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT ELIZALDE.

MY NAME IS JORGE RANGEL, 334 CENTER STREET, DALLAS, TEXAS, 75208.

I'M THE ALLIANCE AFT GRIEVANCE AND LEGAL CONSULTANT.

I AM HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT TEACHERS AND SUPPORT EMPLOYEES BEING PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

WE ASKED THE CHIEFS IN THE ISD WHY EMPLOYEES ARE NOT TOLD WHY THEY ARE PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE THIS.

IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE'S A TOTAL DISCONNECT FROM WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 9400 AND THE CAMPUSES.

I AM HERE TO INFORM YOU THAT TEACHERS AND SUPPORT EMPLOYEES ARE NOT BEING TOLD WHY THEY'RE BEING PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

I WILL GIVE YOU A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

A TEACHER IS ASKED TO GO TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE.

WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, HE WAS TOLD HE WAS BEING PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION, AND HE NEEDED TO REPORT TO 9400.

THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY AN ESCORT OF THREE POLICE OFFICERS, ARMED POLICE OFFICERS, NOT DISD.

I SENT THREE EMAILS, I SENT EMAILS TO THE EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEE RELATIONS DIRECTOR, HCM CHIEF AND EMPLOYEE RELATIONS DIRECTOR.

THE EXECUTIVE CHIEF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS DIRECTOR RESPONDED, STATING THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS HAD NOTIFIED HIM OF THE ALLEGATIONS, WHICH IN FACT IS UNTRUE, NOR DID SHE PROVIDE ME THE ALLEGATIONS.

I FOLLOWED UP WITH PHONE CALLS TO EMPLOYEE RELATIONS TO FIND OUT WHY OUR MEMBER WAS PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

I WAS GIVEN THE RUNAROUND UNTIL I STATED THAT I WOULD GO UP THE LADDER, STARTING WITH PAM LEAR.

FIVE MINUTES LATER, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM EMPLOYEE RELATIONS DIRECTOR STATING WHY THE TEACHER WAS PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

I ASKED AGAIN, WHY WASN'T THE TEACHER TOLD THE REASON FOR BEING PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE? SHE STATED HE WAS, WHICH IN FACT IS UNTRUE.

AFTER STATING TO HER THAT HE DID NOT HE WAS NOT TOLD SHE PROVIDED ME THE ALLEGATIONS.

IMAGINE IF THIS WAS YOU WORKING AND THEN CALLED TO THE OFFICE, THEN ESCORTED BY THREE POLICE OFFICERS AND NO ONE PROVIDED YOU A REASON.

JUST A PAPER STATING YOU ARE ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AFTER THREE MONTHS, MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS AND THE TEACHER'S REPUTATION, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT DID TO THE MENTAL STATE. THIS WAS, THIS CASE WAS UNSUBSTANTIATED AND CLOSED.

NOW IMAGINE HAVING TO GO BACK TO WORK AFTER THE STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF SAW YOU ESCORTED OFF CAMPUS BY THREE ARMED POLICE OFFICERS.

THE FACULTY AND STAFF NEED TO KNOW THIS TEACHER DID NOTHING WRONG.

THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

ALLIANCE AFT HAS BEEN ASKING ALL ALONG IN WRITING AND IN VERBAL CONVERSATIONS THAT EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE TOLD WHY THEY'RE BEING PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE WHEN THEY RECEIVE A LETTER AT 9400.

FOLKS, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU. ELIZABETH FARRIS, FOLLOWED BY THOMAS ASABO.

ELIZABETH FARRIS, NOT PRESENT.

THOMAS ASABO.

MY NAME IS THOMAS ASABO.

I'VE BEEN TEACHING AT SAMUEL FOR EIGHT YEARS.

MY SCHOOL IS EXPERIENCING A CRISIS OF ANTI-SOCIAL STUDENT BEHAVIOR.

FIGHTS ARE FREQUENT.

A STUDENT GOT A GUN PAST SECURITY AND INTO A CLASSROOM.

AT LAST MONTH'S MEETING, I HAD ASKED THAT MORE BE DONE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS MENTAL HEALTH.

TODAY I CAN SAY THAT SOME IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND MORE ARE IN PROGRESS.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN IS NO LONGER SPLIT BETWEEN TWO CAMPUSES.

I SUSPECT WE COULD STILL USE MORE THAN ONE TO ACCOMMODATE MORE STUDENTS, BUT THIS IS SOME PROGRESS.

EMERGENCY BUTTONS ARE BEING INSTALLED IN THE CLASSROOMS. AT PRESENT THERE ARE ONLY IN SOME ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS, BUT MY PRINCIPAL SAYS THERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE ONE IN EVERY CLASSROOM.

OUR ENTRY PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN UPDATED, AND I'M TOLD WE'RE GETTING MORE SECURITY CAMERAS AND KEY CARD READERS AND OTHER SECURITY UPGRADES.

I WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO MY PRINCIPAL, MR. GUERRA. HE SEEMS TO BE TAKING THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY, AND I HOPE THAT NEXT MONTH I CAN REPORT MORE POSITIVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

THERE ARE STILL SOME CHANGES I FEEL ARE NECESSARY, HOWEVER, WE NEED MORE HALL MONITORS TO SEE ALL PARTS OF THE SCHOOL AND PREVENT FIGHTS.

ALSO, BAG SEARCHES SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BY SECURITY PERSONNEL, NOT TEACHERS.

TEACHERS NEED TO CREATE A RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST WITH OUR STUDENTS, AND THAT IS DAMAGED WHEN WE GO THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS EVERY DAY AS A MATTER OF ROUTINE.

SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT, BUT IT SHOULD BE THE DUTY OF SECURITY OFFICERS.

TEACHERS HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH ALREADY.

DISCIPLINE SYSTEMS NEED TO BE INTEGRATED WITH RESET COUNSELORS AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

WE HAVE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE, HARD WORKING, SKILLED EXPERTS.

THEIR SKILLS NEED TO BE UTILIZED MORE EFFECTIVELY.

SYSTEMS SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION BETWEEN THESE DEPARTMENTS, TO GET EACH STUDENT THE SPECIFIC ATTENTION THEY NEED.

[00:20:01]

WITH THE MOST RECENT ELECTION, MANY STUDENTS ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT WHETHER THEY WILL BE SAFE AT SCHOOL OR IF THEY MAY BE IN DANGER OF BEING DEPORTED.

THIS DISTRICT MUST ANNOUNCE THAT ICE AGENTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ON CAMPUS.

OUR KIDS DESERVE TO KNOW IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THEY BELONG HERE AND THAT WE HAVE THEIR BACKS.

AT ONE TIME, WE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT DISTRICT POLICY WAS FOR CLASSROOM DOORS TO BE CLASS TIME.

THIS WAS IN THE WAKE OF THE UVALDE SHOOTING THIS YEAR.

WE WERE TOLD THAT DISTRICT POLICY IS FOR CLASSROOM DOORS TO BE OPEN.

I'M HEARING CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT IT.

IF POLICY. IF POLICY IS NO LONGER TO KEEP OUR DOORS CLOSED AND LOCKED, AND IT SHOULD BE CHANGED BACK FOR SAFETY.

IF THAT IS STILL THE CURRENT POLICY, THEN THAT NEEDS TO BE REITERATED IN A MASS EMAIL BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME MISCOMMUNICATION ON THE SUBJECT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS CONCLUDES THE SPEAKERS.

TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM SIX REPORTS.

[6. REPORTS]

SUPERINTENDENT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT CARREON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'D LIKE TO START OFF WITH NATIVE NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH.

THIS IS CELEBRATED EACH YEAR IN NOVEMBER.

IT IS A TIME TO CELEBRATE THE TRADITIONS, LANGUAGES, AND STORIES OF NATIVE AMERICANS.

ALSO, ALASKA NATIVES, NATIVE HAWAIIANS, AND AFFILIATED ISLAND COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THEIR RICH HISTORIES ARE PASSED DOWN TO EACH GENERATION. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THIS WEEK WAS DECLARED AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK BY PRESIDENT BIDEN TO HONOR THOSE WHO DEVOTE THEIR TALENTS AND ENERGY TO HELPING OUR CHILDREN REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, AND TO BUILDING SCHOOL COMMUNITIES WHERE ALL STUDENTS FEEL THEY BELONG. IN HIS PROCLAMATION, THE PRESIDENT WROTE THAT DURING AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, WE SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO THE EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL STAFF ACROSS OUR NATION? WHO ARE THE KITE STRINGS THAT KEEP OUR NATION AND OUR NATIONAL AMBITIONS ALOFT? AND TOGETHER WE WILL WORK TOGETHER, OUR NATION, TO ENSURE OUR NATION'S STUDENTS HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.

SO THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, FOR THIS LOVELY SENTIMENT.

AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DOES THIS WORK DAILY IN DALLAS ISD.

LAST WEEK, WE CELEBRATED VETERANS DAY TO THANK ALL THE VETERANS OF THE U.S.

ARMED FORCES.

WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR SACRIFICES.

WE ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEIR FAMILIES DURING THIS MONTH OF NOVEMBER, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS MILITARY FAMILY MONTH.

ON THIS OCCASION, I AM REMINDED OF THE WORDS OF THE BRITISH WRITER JAMES ALLEN, WHO SAID NO DUTY IS MORE URGENT THAN THAT OF RETURNING.

THANKS. SO ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE DALLAS ISD TEAM, IF YOU SERVED UNDER OUR FLAG OR IN A FAMILY WITH SOMEONE WHO CURRENTLY SERVES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.

NEXT, SEVERAL DALLAS FORT WORTH ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE CLASS IN THE U.S.

NEWS AND WORLD REPORTS THAT WERE JUST RELEASED FOR THE 2025 ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL RANKINGS.

WE HAVE SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO WILLIAM B TRAVIS ACADEMY VANGUARD FOR THE ACADEMICALLY TALENTED AND GIFTED, WHICH WAS RANKED AS THE SECOND BEST ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL IN TEXAS FOR 2025.

SUDIE WILLIAMS TALENTED AND GIFTED ACADEMY ALSO RANKED AMONG THE STATEWIDE TOP TEN, COMING IN AT NUMBER SIX, AND LAKEWOOD ELEMENTARY WAS RANKED 11TH AMONG TEXAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

FINALLY, CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER FOR THE SCHOOL FOR THE TALENTED AND GIFTED IN PLEASANT GROVE, WHICH NOW CALL, WHICH CAN NOW CALL ITSELF THE FOURTH HIGHEST RANKED MIDDLE SCHOOL IN TEXAS.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER AWARDS, BUT FOR THESE HIGH HONORS, MUCH CONGRATULATIONS.

WITH REGARD TO FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS, DALLAS ISD HAS RECEIVED AN A FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT, THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RATING FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, AS PART OF FINAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS FOR TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS, ALSO KNOWN AS.

FIRST, OF COURSE, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL OFFICE DEPARTMENT NOW LED UNDER OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, ED RAMOS, AND OF COURSE, TO HIS PREDECESSOR, TAMEKA ALFRED STEPHENS, AND THE ENTIRE TEAM.

THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THAT TEAM.

[00:25:04]

AND IT'S NOT JUST A TEXAS ISSUE.

ACCORDING TO THE LEARNING POLICY INSTITUTE, THE MOST RECENTLY AVAILABLE DATA SAY THERE ARE 41,920 KNOWN VACANT TEACHER POSITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.

BUT IN DALLAS ISD, WE'RE RECEIVING HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS FOR EVERY VACANCY.

IN FACT, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS CHART, IN NINE OF THE FIRST TEN MONTHS OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR, WE HAVE RECEIVED RECORD NUMBERS OF APPLICATIONS.

SO, I WISH TO THANK THIS BOARD FOR THE TYPE OF CULTURE AND CLIMATE THEY HAVE CREATED THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO WANT TO WORK IN DALLAS ISD.

SO NOW WHEN MY FELLOW SUPERINTENDENTS TRY TO COMMISERATE ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND GOOD TEACHERS, WELL, I SMILE AND NOD.

AND I THANK MY LUCKY STARS FOR CHIEF ABEL AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS THIS BOARD FOR HELPING LEAD THE WAY IN MAKING DALLAS ISD A DESTINATION DISTRICT FOR OUR TEACHERS AND FOR SUPPORT STAFF.

THIS PAST WEEK, OUR DISCOVER DALLAS ISD CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE NOT ONLY OUR LEGACY SCHOOLS THAT ARE ALWAYS OUR STUDENTS FIRST CHOICE, BUT ALSO THE MORE THAN 100 SPECIALTY SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

I THINK I HAD JUST MISSED TRUSTEE FOREMAN, WHO HAD BEEN THERE MOST OF THE DAY, AND I CAME IN FOLLOWING HER AT OUR EVENT NOVEMBER 9TH AT FAIR PARK.

IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS WITH OVER 2700 IN ATTENDANCE.

THE APPLICATION PERIOD FOR THE SPECIALTY SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS INTERNAL TRANSFERS TO OUR LEGACY SCHOOLS, BEGAN NOVEMBER 1ST AND AS OF NOVEMBER 17TH, WE HAVE ALREADY HAD 192 STUDENTS SUBMIT OVER 7100 APPLICATIONS.

WE CONTINUE TO OFFER PARENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS AND THE APPLICATION PROCESS THROUGH VIRTUAL VERSIONS OF DISCOVER DALLAS ISD.

ON DECEMBER 7TH AND JANUARY 18TH.

AND FINALLY, NEXT WEEK WE CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING.

I LEARNED THE OTHER DAY THAT THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL PARDON OF A TURKEY OCCURRED WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S SON URGED HIM TO SPARE A TURKEY THAT WAS INTENDED FOR THEIR DINNER.

WELL, OF COURSE, I'M NOT PRESIDENT LINCOLN, BUT I HEREBY PARDON ALL OF YOU FROM COMING TO WORK NEXT WEEK, EXCEPT FOR A FEW FOLKS THAT DO HAVE TO COME IN.

AND I REALLY DO HOPE YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO RECHARGE AND RE-ENERGIZE AND HAVE SOME RESTFUL TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES.

AND IF SOMEONE AT YOUR TABLE COMMITS THE UNPARDONABLE SIN OF EXPRESSING, LET'S SAY, INCORRECT OPINIONS ABOUT THE THINGS WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK AT THE DINNER TABLE LIKE POLITICS.

DO WHAT I DO TO STEER THE CONVERSATION SUBJECTS ON THINGS WE CAN ALL AGREE.

LIKE MAYBE HOW JERRY JONES SHOULD HAVE SIGNED DERRICK HENRY INSTEAD.

OR PERHAPS THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE CURTAINS AT AT&T STADIUM, NOT JUST TO KEEP THE SUN OUT OF THE RECEIVER'S EYES, BUT MAYBE FROM HIDING. HOW NOT SO GOOD OUR FAVORITE COWBOYS ARE DOING.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I WANT TO THANK THE JONES FAMILY AS THEY HAVE PROVIDED LOTS OF SUPPORT FOR DALLAS ISD AND OUR STUDENTS.

AT LEAST MAYBE WE CAN BE THANKFUL FOR THE LONGHORNS.

HOOK EM! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE! I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THEIR BREAST.

THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT.

MY NEXT QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WE GOING TO GET IN OUR SCHOOLS? ALWAYS EXCITING TO BE THERE.

BEEN THERE FROM DAY ONE, AND I'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE THOSE DISCOVERY DALLAS ISD'S.

[00:45:06]

THERE WERE ABOUT 43 PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATED ONLINE.

I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO TRINI GARZA EARLY COLLEGE FOR HOSTING ITS OWN OPEN HOUSE LAST NIGHT OR LAST NIGHT FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS.

THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL OF THE DISCOVER DALLAS ISD FAIRS, AND I KNOW A NUMBER OF OTHER SCHOOLS ARE ALSO DOING THAT, INVITING TOURS AND VISITORS, ETC.

AND I THINK ALL OF THIS WORK IS WHAT IS UNDERSCORED WHY DALLAS ISD SAW THE FIRST ENROLLMENT INCREASE IN A LONG TIME.

AND THEN FINALLY, I WANT TO SHOUT OUT AND GIVE A CONGRATULATIONS TO CELESTINO MAURICIO SOTO JUNIOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR BEING THE LATEST CAMPUS TO RECEIVE A BOOK VENDING MACHINE. AND THANK YOU TO THE DALLAS EDUCATION FOUNDATION FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO START OFF BY GIVING MAJOR KUDOS TO THE STUDENTS OF RUSK MIDDLE SCHOOL WHO HAD THE CHANCE TO ATTEND THE AVID LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE THAT TOOK PLACE AT CEDAR VALLEY COLLEGE. THESE SCHOLARS TOOK THE INITIATIVE IN PARTAKING IN THIS EXPERIENCE, AND I KNOW THEY GRASPED EVERY OUNCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS AVAILABLE TO THEM.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE CHESS TEAM OF MOUNT AUBURN STEAM ACADEMY, WHO WON THIRD PLACE AT OUR DISTRICT'S VERY COMPETITIVE CHESS TOURNAMENT.

I COULD NOT BE PROUDER OF THESE MUSTANGS.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE CAMPUS OF SOLAR PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS FOR HOSTING AND HOLDING A SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL STEM DAY EVENT AT THEIR CAMPUS.

AND ALSO, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME THE NEWEST PRINCIPAL TO DALLAS ISD DISTRICT EIGHT THAT IS PRINCIPAL ERIC MARTINEZ OF NEL SOLAR

[00:50:04]

I HAD THE CHANCE TO SIT DOWN WITH HIM RECENTLY WITH HIS EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND HIS WONDERFUL PERSONAL JOURNEY.

I THINK HE'S THE PERFECT FIT THERE FOR SOLAR PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR BOYS, AND I WELCOME HIM TO THE SOLAR COMMUNITY.

AND LASTLY, I SIMPLY WANT TO SAY TO EVERYONE, HAVE A SAFE AND WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING AND THANKSGIVING BREAK.

TRUSTEE TURNER.

YES, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT CARREON.

ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO CALLEJO ELEMENTARY FOR ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST FLUENCY RATE FLUENCY RATING WITHIN THEIR VERTICAL TEAM.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT BUBBLE PARTY.

AS A RESULT OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND CRITICAL THINKING TRAINING, THEY SCORED.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS EXPERIENCE HELPED TO BOOST INTELLECTUAL CONFIDENCE AND ADVANCE THE STUDENTS ANALYTICAL SKILLS.

A SPECIAL ACCLAMATION IS DUE TO EMMA RANGEL YOUNG WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP SCHOOL THEATER CLASS.

THEY RECENTLY COMPETED IN DALLAS ISD PRE UIL OPEN ACT PLAY CONTEST AND WON A DIVISION ONE SUPERIOR RANKING.

THE SCHOOL ALSO TOOK HOME SIX INDIVIDUAL ACT ACTING AND TECHNICAL THEATER AWARDS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE STAFF AND THE YOUNG WOMEN FOR THEIR INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY AND SUCCESS.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND EMMA RANGEL'S HOMECOMING.

YES, WE DO HAVE A HOMECOMING.

IT WAS REALLY COOL.

IT WAS THE SEVENTH GRADERS VERSUS THE EIGHTH GRADERS PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL.

AND SOME OF THESE GIRLS PLAY BETTER THAN BOYS.

JUST FYI, I ACTUALLY SAW A GIRL ROLL OUT A THROW LIKE A LIKE, GO TO GO OUT TEN, MAKE A LEFT AND HIT HER LIKE, RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

IT WAS CRAZY.

BUT ANYWAY WE'RE ALSO HONORED TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE MOST ENGAGING AND INTENTIONAL SCHOOL BASED COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN DALLAS ISD.

THE UNITED TO LEARN ORGANIZATION PARTNERED WITH GOLDMAN SACHS AND DALLAS ISD TO TRANSFORM THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE AT J.P.

STARKS MATH, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGICAL VANGUARD INTO A VIBRANT, WELCOMING SPACE FOR COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, CASTING ITS VOTE FOR A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, DCAD AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ACCORDING TO THE CENTRAL TO THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTING GUIDELINES.

THE DISTRICT MAY CAST ALL OF ITS 1175 VOTES FOR ONE CANDIDATE, OR DISTRIBUTE THEM AMONG THE CANDIDATES FOR ANY NUMBER OF POSITIONS.

THERE ARE FIVE DIRECTOR POSITIONS AVAILABLE, WHICH MEANS 1000 POINTS OR VOTES TOWARDS A CANDIDATE WILL SECURE THEM A POSITION ON THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT. TRUSTEES.

AT THE BOARD BRIEFING.

IN THE BOARD BRIEFING MATERIALS WERE PROVIDED THE APPLICATIONS AND THE RESUMES OF THE CANDIDATES FOLLOWING TONIGHT'S MEETING.

BOARD SERVICES WILL SUBMIT THE BOARD'S COMPLETED BALLOT TO THE CHIEF APPRAISER.

SO EXCUSE ME, MY LIGHT WAS ON TRUSTEE.

OKAY. TRUSTEE.

TRUSTEE TURNER. EXCUSE ME.

MY LIGHT WAS ON, SIR.

SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE. IT'S BEEN ON TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

DO YOU HAVE A POINT OF ORDER? YES, I HAVE A POINT OF ORDER.

MY LIGHTS BEEN ON.

I NEED YOU TO SAY POINT OF ORDER.

YES. A POINT OF ORDER.

MY LIGHT'S BEEN ON.

YOU NEED TO LOOK THIS WAY.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT OF ORDER? A QUESTION ABOUT THE WAY THIS IS FORMATTED.

YES. THE POINT OF ORDER IS, IS THAT IF I UNDERSTAND ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER CORRECTLY, THIS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERSON TO BE NAMED. SO WE DON'T GET TO.

WE ONLY GET ONE NAME.

OH, NO. THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT QUESTION.

TRUSTEE. SO YOU. ALWAYS GOOD.

SO YES, THIS CAN JUST BE REPEATED FOR A SECOND.

FOR A SECOND NAME, YOU CAN USE THIS JUST TO KIND OF A LANGUAGE THAT CAN BE USED FOR MULTIPLE NAMES.

YEAH. THAT'S NOT THE WAY THIS READS.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY. TRUSTEES.

TRUSTEES, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? YES, I HAVE A MOTION.

WHAT DO YOU RECOGNIZE, TRUSTEE TURNER? YES, I HAVE A MOTION.

OKAY, MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT CASTING ITS 1175 VOTES FOR TRUSTEE DAN MICCICHE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

DALLAS. SECOND.

OKAY, TRUSTEES. IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, CASTING 100 175 VOTES FOR DAN MITSCHKE. AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

TRUSTEES. IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES, I WANT TO OKAY.

TRUSTEE CURRY.

SO YOU JUST GOING TO KEEP DOING THAT? THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK UP HERE.

YOU CANNOT KEEP OVERLOOKING ME.

[01:00:02]

I'M JUST NOT GOING TO. I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT.

YOU CANNOT KEEP UP. TRUSTEE CURRIE'S LIGHT WAS ON.

MY LIGHT'S BEEN ON.

I'M SORRY TRUSTEE FOREMAN. TRUSTEE CURRIE, PLEASE.

AND THEN I'LL SHOW YOU TRUSTEE FOREMAN I PROMISE.

ONE I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SO THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE TWO CANDIDATES WHO BOTH HAVE SHOWN JUST DEMONSTRATED A CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO THE KIDS OF DALLAS ISD AND TO DOING, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY TO HELP PEOPLE.

I THINK BOTH TRUSTEE MICCICHE AND TRUSTEE WHITE BRING DIFFERENT SKILLS AND GIFTS.

I PERSONALLY SECONDED THIS MOTION PRIMARILY FOR TWO REASONS.

ONE, YOU KNOW, TRUSTEE MICCICHE IS A LONG SERVING SENIOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD, AND I THINK THAT CARRIES SOME WEIGHT IN MY MIND.

AND THEN HE'S ALSO AN EXPERIENCED TAX ATTORNEY AND HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER WORKING IN TAX LAW.

AND THAT SEEMS TO BE A SET OF SKILLS PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, GIVEN ITS ROLE IN OUR TAXING FUNCTION.

SO I WANTED TO SPEAK ON THAT BEHALF.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. I WANT TO BE CLEAR, MR. PRESIDENT. I'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU BEFORE, THE AFRICAN AMERICANS ON THIS BOARD, NONE OF THEM SERVE AS THE CHAIR OF ANY COMMITTEE.

NONE OF THEM WHICH WOULD INCLUDE ME.

NONE OF THEM SERVE AS THE CHAIR OF ANY COMMITTEE ON THIS BOARD.

AND I THINK THIS BOARD CONSISTENTLY TRIED TO TALK ABOUT EQUITY.

BUT WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN? IT'S NOT FAIR AND THE WAY THIS WAS DONE THAT WAS NOT FAIR EITHER.

SO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CAMILLE WHITE'S NAME AT LEAST GET THIS IS THE ONLY BOARD MEMBER THAT DOES NOT SERVE ON A COMMITTEE.

SHE IS THE ONLY BOARD MEMBER THAT DOES NOT SERVE ON A COMMITTEE.

IS THAT FAIR? NO, IT'S NOT FAIR.

AND THE WAY THIS WAS DONE IS NOT FAIR EITHER.

SO, I'M GOING TO MR. PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE CAMILLE WHITE.

I'M DONE. I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'M NOT THROUGH.

OKAY. TRUSTEES, FURTHER DISCUSSION.

TRUSTEE. TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

WELL, LET ME SAY THAT I THINK WHEN YOU DO THE MATH, THAT 1000 VOTES IS ENOUGH FOR DALLAS TO SECURE A POSITION FOR ONE OF ITS CANDIDATES, AND THAT THE 175, I THINK WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 1175 THAT THE 175 IS, IS LIKE EXTRA VOTES THAT WE COULD DISTRIBUTE TO ANOTHER CANDIDATE AND HELP THE, THE DALLAS ISD BOARD HAVE ALLIES ON THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL BOARD.

IN THE PAST, THIS WAS REALLY NOT A VERY SIGNIFICANT POSITION, BUT WE'VE SEEN THAT IN TARRANT COUNTY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN DISPUTES WHERE THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, I BELIEVE AT LEAST TEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE SUED THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT BECAUSE OF DECISIONS THAT THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICTS WAS MAKING ON A DIVIDED VOTE.

SO I THINK IT WOULD BE BEHOOVE US TO ONLY ALLOCATE 100, I MEAN, 1000 POINTS TO OUR NOMINEE, RESERVING THE 175 TO BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT, WHO WOULD BE POTENTIALLY ALIGNED WITH THE INTERESTS OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

SO I GUESS MY REQUEST WOULD BE FOR THE MOTION TO BE REVISED TO ALLOCATE A THOUSAND VOTES INSTEAD OF 1175 VOTES.

SO THE PROPER WAY TO DO THAT WOULD BE AN ACTUAL MOTION AND A SECOND.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL SAY.

[01:05:03]

AND I GUESS I CAN ADD TO THAT KEVIN CARBO OF MESQUITE ISD BEING THAT OTHER CANDIDATE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE JUST WE'RE AMENDING A CURRENT MOTION JUST ON THE FLOOR.

SO I THINK THE MOTION IS JUST WELL, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

I'LL SECOND. OKAY.

THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

AND THE MOTION NOW FOR OPEN FOR DISCUSSION IS TO AMEND THE CURRENT MOTION THAT'S ON THE FLOOR FROM THE POINT THE VOTES ALLOCATED INSTEAD OF 175 TO JUST 1000.

RIGHT. I THINK IS THE MOTION WE DID THE ONE.

THAT IS CORRECT. ONE CANDIDATE IN A VOTE A NUMBER OF VOTES.

TRUSTEES, THAT IS THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO CHANGE THE ALLOCATION OF VOTES TO THE IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YES. TRUSTEE WHITE.

I DO HAVE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.

I HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION, AND THEN I HAVE DISCUSSION ON THE REVISED MOTION.

OKAY. MY. SO CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE CURRENT MOTION RIGHT NOW? OH, OKAY.

SO I HAVE LOOKED OVER THIS LIST AND I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF MEN ALREADY ON THIS BOARD IS DOMINATED BY MEN.

OUR COUNTY JOHN AMES SITS ON THIS BOARD.

HE'S OUR COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR.

I CAN JUST GO ON DOWN.

WE HAVE A HOLDOVER THAT THAT IS ON THIS BOARD THAT IS A MALE THAT I WILL NOT DISCUSS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

THEREFORE, I AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF SUPPORTING A MALE FROM MESQUITE ISD FOR THIS POSITION.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF WOMEN CANDIDATES ON THIS BALLOT.

AND SINCE WE ARE GOING TO AND IT WAS NEVER WHAT IS THE RULE SAYING THAT IF WE DON'T GIVE OUR 175 VOTES TO ONE CANDIDATE ON DISD, ANOTHER CANDIDATE CAN HAVE THEM.

SO SINCE IT'S BEING SAID THAT I WILL NOT GET THE 175 75V BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT TO A MALE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

TRUSTEE. FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO AMEND THE 175 TO 1000 FOR VOTES FOR TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE AMENDED MOTION.

TRUSTEE MICCICHE, YOU ARE YOU SAYING THAT, MAXEY, I DON'T NEED YOU TALKING TO HIM, I NEED HIM TALKING TO ME.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY WHEN I'M UP.

TRUSTEE. TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

I DON'T NEED YOU TALKING.

I'M TRYING TO TALK.

DON'T DO THAT. I'M TRYING TO TALK.

DON'T DO THAT. SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AH TRUSTEE MICCICHE DO YOU KNOW THE INDIVIDUAL THAT YOU ARE SPEAKING OF? I DO. OKAY.

SO I'M SORRY. I THINK THE MOTION BEFORE THE FLOOR IS JUST REGARDING TO TRUSTEE MICCICHE AND AMENDING THE 175 1175 TO 1000 VOTES. NO.

AND HE ALSO ADDED A NAME THAT HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT WE SHOULD GIVE IT TO.

SO I'M ASKING, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? I'M ASKING A QUESTION REGARDING HIS AMENDED MOTION.

YEAH. THE AMENDED MOTION IS TO CHANGE THE NUMBER FROM 1175 TO 1000.

THE ISSUE THAT YOU'RE DISCUSSING WILL FOLLOW.

I THINK WE'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THAT FOLLOWING THIS MOTION.

YOU DID NOT MENTION THAT IN YOUR MOTION.

I DID, BUT WE BUT PRESIDENT CARREON CLARIFIED WHAT THE PROPER PROCEDURE WAS, AND I THINK WE REVISED MY MOTION SO THAT IT IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPER PROCEDURE.

OKAY. FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT, ON THAT ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED.

OKAY. SEEING NO DISCUSSION, TRUSTEES WERE VOTING ON WHETHER TO AMEND THEM, NOT ON THE MOTION, BUT WHETHER TO AMEND THE MOTION TO AWARD TRUSTEE MICCICHE 1000 VOTES.

OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THE ACTUAL MOTION WAS TO ALLOCATE 1000 VOTES FOR DAMAGE

[01:10:10]

OKAY. SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOTION WAS THAT THAT WAS YOUR EXPLANATION AS TO WHY, NOT THE ACTUAL MOTION.

SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE IT CLEAR FOR THE RECORD.

OKAY. SO TRUSTEE MICCICHE FOR THE RECORD, WHAT IS THE MOTION? THE MOTION IS TO CHANGE 1175 VOTES TO 1000 VOTES FOR DAN MICCICHE AND RESERVE THE 175 VOTES FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION IN THIS MEETING.

OKAY. SO OKAY, SO THAT'S THE MOTION TRUSTEES.

AND THAT'S WHAT I SECONDED.

OKAY. SO WE'RE RESERVING 175 VOTES FOR THIS DISCUSSION.

MISS MATTHEWS BRIDGES IS THAT CLEAR? YES, WE HAVE THAT.

THANK YOU. OKAY, TRUSTEES SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES ON WHETHER TO AMEND THE CURRENT MOTION ON THE TABLE TO THAT MOTION.

I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN BECAUSE I HAVEN'T UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE'RE GOING NOW, BUT WE'RE GOING TO THE 175.

ARE WE GOING TO THAT? THAT'S THAT A DISCUSSION WE'RE VOTING NOW? IS THAT A DISCUSSION FOR THE 175? NO. TRUSTEE WE'RE VOTING NOW ON THE MOTION.

SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO DISCUSSION AT THIS POINT.

I'M SUPPORTING YOU, BUT I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS OTHER STUFF.

MOTION PASSES SIX VOTING YES, TWO VOTING NO, WITH ONE ABSTENTION.

OKAY, TRUSTEES, NOW WE'RE BACK TO ACTUALLY CONSIDERING AND TAKING POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THE MOTION NOW IS TO AWARD 1000 VOTES TO TRUSTEE MICCICHE AND HOLDING 175 FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

TRUSTEES, DO WE HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? TRUSTEE, TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

I HAVE A DISCUSSION. GO AHEAD.

WITH THE 175, TO FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE'RE GOING TO SET THAT TO A SIDE TO DISCUSS OR VOTE ON IT.

GIVE ME I'M TRYING TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF THAT.

RIGHT. SO, TRUSTEE WHAT WE'RE TAKING A MOTION ON IF WITH IF THIS MOTION PASSES AND THERE'S 175 EXTRA VOTES STILL OUT THERE FOR US TO ALLOCATE, THEN THERE WAS WE COULD EITHER LEAVE THOSE VOTES ON THE TABLE AND NOT ALLOCATE THEM, OR I WILL ENTERTAIN A SECOND MOTION TO ALLOCATE THE 175 ADDITIONAL VOTES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. BUT THE MOTION BEFORE US NOW IS TO ALLOCATE THE 1000 VOTES TO TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

FURTHER DISCUSSION.

OKAY. SEEING NONE.

TRUSTEES, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES SEVEN YES, TWO NO.

OK Y, TRUSTEES, YOU HAVE JUST PASSED A MOTION APPROVING TRUSTEE MICCICHE TO THE TO AWARD TRUSTEE MICCICHE 1000 VOTES TO THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

TRUSTEES, THERE ARE STILL 175 VOTES WE COULD CAST.

POINT OF INFORMATION.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THIS WHICH I DID PUT THIS QUESTION IN THE TRACKER, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT MY QUESTION WAS BASICALLY WHICH I UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH THIS PROCESS.

I ALREADY KNEW THAT THIS PROCESS COULD HAPPEN AS FAR AS US LUMPING OUR VOTES TOGETHER.

BUT MY QUESTION IS AS FAR AS THE 175 VOTES GO, THEY COULD STAY WITH THIS BOARD AND WE COULD SEND FORTH TOO OR WE COULD GIVE THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS I'M LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT, LIKE I SAID, THE BOARD IS MALE DOMINATED.

[01:15:05]

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY I FEEL THAT MY, OUR VOTE SHOULD GO TOWARDS A FEMALE.

BUT CAN MY QUESTION BE ANSWERED AS FAR AS HOW OUR VOTES CAN BE DIVVIED UP? YES. TRUSTEE I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

I 100% CAN. AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

THERE ARE 175 VOTES YOU HAVE.

YOU RECEIVED EVERY TRUSTEE RECEIVED IN THEIR BOARD BRIEFING AND THEY'VE HAD NOW FOR WEEKS ALL THE NAMES OF THE CANDIDATES AND THEIR RESUMES.

WE CAN DECIDE AS A BOARD TO DISTRIBUTE THOSE 175 VOTES TO AS MANY OF THOSE CANDIDATES AS WE WANT, OR TO JUST ONE OR TO NONE.

WE COULD ALSO JUST NOT ALLOCATE THOSE 175 VOTES.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, IF THERE IF ANYONE'S INCLINED.

IF NOT THEN THERE ISN'T.

IT'S JUST A MOTION TO BEGIN ANY DISCUSSION.

OKAY. IS THERE? SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION? TRUSTEE MACKEY, TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

GO AHEAD. YES. MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT WE ALLOCATE 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO, A TRUSTEE AT MESQUITE ISD.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. SECOND.

OKAY. TRUSTEES, WE.

IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YOU SAID CASTING, YOU SAID CASTING THE REMAINING 175 VOTES? YES, SIR. TO KEVIN CARBO, AS A MEMBER OF THE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES.

TRUSTEE JOHNSON. TRUSTEE FOREMAN LIGHT WAS ON FIRST.

HE KEEPS NOT. IT'S NOT.

I MEAN, I'M JUST LOOKING TO GET YOU SOME GLASSES TO LOOK DOWN HERE BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE LIST AND IT'S TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

BUT DO YOU TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

THE QUESTION THAT I ASKED EARLIER IS WHY? WHY ARE WE CASTING VOTES FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL? SO IS THAT A POINT OF INFORMATION FOR TRUSTEE? NOT A POINT OF INFORMATION? THAT'S A QUESTION DIRECTLY TO WHO MADE THE MOTION.

KEVIN CARBO IS A TRUSTEE ON THE MESQUITE ISD BOARD.

HE SERVED ON THAT BOARD FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

HE'S SERVED ON THE TASB BOARD, AND I AM VERY CONFIDENT THAT KEVIN IS SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE VERY ALIGNED WITH OUR THINKING WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONTROVERSIAL TYPE TOPICS THAT HAVE ARISEN IN TARRANT COUNTY, WHERE, AS I SAID EARLIER THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT TEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TARRANT COUNTY WHO HAVE SUED THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL BOARD BECAUSE OF DECISIONS MADE AT THE TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL BOARD LEVEL.

SO, WE AS DALLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WANT TO BE ASSURED THAT THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT CONTEXT.

KEVIN CARBO IS A IS I KNOW HIM QUITE WELL.

I THINK HE WOULD BE STRONG, HE'S STRONG AND ALIGNED WITH US.

AND I KNOW THAT HE HAS BEEN GATHERING VOTES FROM OTHER DISTRICTS, INCLUDING DALLAS COLLEGE AND I THINK THREE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

SO THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION AND THAT THAT IS WHY I'M SUGGESTING KEVIN CARBO.

SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE QUESTIONS.

IS THERE NO ONE ELSE ON HERE THAT'S A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE ON THE TASB BOARD.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW HIM FROM BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN THERE ABOUT TEN YEARS.

BUT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE ON HERE THAT'S A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, DO WE KNOW? WELL, I CAN RESPOND TO THAT.

THERE IS A LIST OF BIOGRAPHIES THAT HAS BEEN CIRCULATED.

AND IT'S PROBABLY IT IS ON THE TRACK.

SO I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE BIOGRAPHIES.

I DON'T HAVE THEM IN FRONT OF ME.

SO YOU CAN CLICK YOU CAN CLICK ON.

TRUSTEE MICCICHE, TRUSTEE TRUSTEE FOREMAN IS ASKING THE QUESTION.

I'LL ANSWER THE QUESTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

SO THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ON THIS LIST THAT IS A TRUSTEE? DOES ANYONE KNOW? I BELIEVE BILL WHITE IS A TRUSTEE AND CARMEN MORGAN IS A TRUSTEE, BUT I THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT I RECOGNIZE BASED ON WHAT I REMEMBER READING.

[01:20:04]

BUT I THINK EVERYONE HAS THE LIST AT THEIR DAIS, DON'T THEY? LOOKING AT THE LIST SO SHE HAS THE ANSWER.

COULD YOU LET HER ANSWER, PLEASE? YES, PLEASE.

CARMEN MORGAN, CEDAR HILL ISD.

CASSANDRA PHILLIPS, DUNCANVILLE ISD.

AND KEVIN CARBO. COULD YOU REPEAT THOSE AGAIN? CARMEN MORGAN, CEDAR HILL ISD.

CASSANDRA PHILLIPS, DUNCANVILLE ISD.

OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

SO HAS THE FLOOR CLOSED ON MAKING A MOTION FOR SOMEONE? CAN THERE BE A SECOND MOTION? SO THERE'S A CURRENT MOTION YOU CAN MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION, BUT THERE'S A CURRENT MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO AWARD 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO. OKAY.

SO, I'LL LET MAXEY TALK, AND THEN I'LL COME BACK AND MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION.

SO THAT'S RIGHT.

TRUSTEE JOHNSON, GO AHEAD. SO MY QUESTION, I DON'T KNOW KEVIN CORBO.

I UNDERSTAND HE TRUSTEE MICCICHE KNOWS HIM.

I DON'T KNOW THE GUY.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN.

I THINK THIS IS WHAT TRUSTEE FOREMAN WAS GOING, THAT WE CAN SUBMIT ANOTHER NAME BEFORE WE VOTE? SURE. SO, AS ALWAYS, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR CURRENTLY.

YOU ARE ALWAYS.

SO WE CAN YOU CAN ALWAYS WELCOME TO MOTION TO AMEND THE MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION ALSO.

SO YES, THAT'S.

YES. YOU CAN ALWAYS MOTION TO AMEND OR MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION.

BUT THE CURRENT MOTION BEFORE THE BOARD IS 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO.

THANK YOU. FURTHER DISCUSSION.

TRUSTEE WHITE.

MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO ADD THE NAME OF CARMEN MORGAN TO THE LIST FOR A SELECTION PROCESS.

I ORIGINALLY THAT DOES THAT IS MY MOTION.

I'M JUST MAKING A STATEMENT AT THIS TIME.

BECAUSE I ORIGINALLY WANTED TO ADD THE OTHER ONE AS WELL, BUT I AM PRETTY MUCH ADAMANT ABOUT THE FACT THAT I FEEL THAT THERE DOES NEED TO BE WOMEN REPRESENTATION ON THAT BOARD.

AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS YOUR FRIEND AND YOU'VE SERVED WITH THEM, DON'T MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE WITH YOU.

AND IF THEY DON'T VOTE WITH YOU STILL OKAY? I MEAN, I SEE THAT ALL THE TIME.

I HAVE EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE UP HERE THAT DON'T VOTE WITH ME.

SO MY LIFE IS STILL, STILL GOOD AND I STILL SPEAK TO YOU.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET UPSET AND THROW A HISSY FIT.

I WILL. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT.

YOU, ARE HUMANS. YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT.

THAT IS MY AMENDMENT.

CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. SO TRUSTEE.

JUST SO I'M SURE. WHAT IS YOUR MOTION TO REPLACE KEVIN CARBO'S NAME? NO, I DID NOT. I DID NOT SAY REPLACE HIM.

I DID AN ADDITION AND I ADDED IN MISS CARMEN MORGAN OF CEDAR HILL ISD.

OKAY, SO UNDER THE CURRENT MOTION THERE, IF IT WERE TO PASS, THERE WOULD BE NO ADDITIONAL POINTS.

SO WOULD YOU AMEND THE CURRENT MOTION? NO, NO. NO, SIR. WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS THAT WE HAVE TWO NAMES IN THE HOPPER, AND WHOEVER GETS THE MOST VOTES IS THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT.

SO TRUSTEE MICCICHE HAS ALREADY BEEN AWARDED 1000 VOTES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE 1000 VOTES, SIR.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND EDITION OF THE 175.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ANYWAY.

SO THERE'S A CURRENT MOTION TO.

SO WE CAN DO LIKE TRUSTEE MICCICHE DID WHERE HE WE AMENDED THE NUMBER.

YOU CAN AMEND THE NAME, BUT THERE'S A CURRENT MOTION BEFORE THE BOARD WHERE IF YOU AMEND THE NUMBER, THEN OF COURSE THERE'S POINTS LEFT OVER AND YOU CAN HAVE AND THEN WE CAN ENTERTAIN ANOTHER PERSON OR YOU CAN AMEND THE NAME.

THERE'S MULTIPLE WAYS TO KIND OF DO THAT, BUT I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS.

KEY WORD IS MULTIPLE.

AND I DIDN'T, AND WHEN I ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION THE ONLY THING I HEARD YOU SAY WAS WHAT YOU SAID, THAT THERE IS MULTIPLE WAYS OF DOING IT.

SO IF WHAT I'M ASKING CANNOT BE DONE, WHICH I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH IT HAPPENING, BECAUSE IF EVEN IF WE DO A SHOW OF VOTES OR THEY DO IT, CALCULATE IT THIS WAY.

IF HE GETS IF CARBO GETS MORE VOTES, THEN WHAT MISS MORGAN DOES, THEN HE GOING FORTH WITH 175 VOTES.

AND TONIGHT POINT OF INFORMATION ME TO TRUSTEE.

MY LIGHTS ON FOR POINT OF INFORMATION, IT HAS BEEN.

[01:25:02]

REALLY QUICKLY CAN WE GO TO 10,000FT? AND I'M NOT SURE WHO CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION, BUT SO WE HAVE WE WANT SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATION IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUR, APPRAISALS ON TIME SO THAT THEY CORRESPOND WITH THE STATE.

RIGHT. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER WE GIVE THAT NEXT GROUP OF VOTES TO HAS ENOUGH 800 ISH OTHER VOTES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET ONTO THE BOARD IN AS A SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE TO NOT HAVE NON SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVES IF POSSIBLE, IN THE OTHER SEATS.

CORRECT. AM I SAYING THAT I DIDN'T SAY THAT VERY CLEARLY.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. DO WE WANT TO GIVE OUR 175 VOTES TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN GET THE OTHER 800 VOTES, SO THAT WE HAVE TWO SCHOOL BOARD PEOPLE OF THE FIVE? WELL, WHAT'S THE STRATEGY? SO THAT WOULD YOU WANT TO GET TO CLOSE TO A THOUSAND POINTS AS YOU CAN FOR WHICHEVER CANDIDATE, IF YOU ULTIMATELY DESIRE TO HAVE THAT PERSON ON THE DCAD AND AS A SCHOOL BOARD.

OUR AIM WOULD BE WE MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT AIMS, BUT OUR AIM COULD BE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE FEMALE REPRESENTATION ON THERE.

IT COULD AIM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO GET A SECOND SCHOOL BOARD PERSON ON THERE, INSTEAD OF A NON-SCHOOL BOARD MINDSET, RIGHT? THOSE ARE KIND OF THE TWO. OR WE COULD AIM TO SUPPORT THE CITY.

I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT WHAT'S OUR STRATEGY? WHAT ARE WE THINKING OF AS A BOARD THAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH? RIGHT. SO THAT'S SO THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE.

YOU CAN MAKE THAT AS A POINT OF INFORMATION TO THE PERSON THAT MADE THE MOTION.

THAT'S SO MY QUESTION IS FOR TRUSTEE MICCICHE AND FOR TRUSTEE WHITE SORT OF WHAT IS THE STRATEGY BEHIND THE ALLOCATION.

SO JUST ONE AT A TIME IF YOU COULD.

SO, IF YOU'RE MAKING SO AT THIS POINT, TRUSTEE AT THIS POINT, LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK HERE BECAUSE THERE IS THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR THAT I NEED TO CLARIFY FROM TRUSTEE WHITE.

AND MY POINT OF INFORMATION RELATES TO THE MECHANICS OF THE MOTION.

PLEASE. YES. SO JUST MECHANICALLY AND THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR YOU OR FOR FAY, CAN WE HAVE A MOTION? THAT IS, I MOVE TO ALLOCATE 175 VOTES TO EITHER ONE PERSON OR ANOTHER, AND WE ARE VOTING ON THOSE PEOPLE, OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE A YES OR NO VOTE THE WAY THE INITIAL MOTION WAS STRUCTURED? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MECHANICALLY WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO.

MATTHEWS BRIDGES, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT QUESTION? MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT TRUSTEE WHITE WOULD LIKE TO DO, AND I WANT TO SPEAK FOR TRUSTEE WHITE, BUT THAT SHE WOULD LIKE US TO VOTE FOR ONE NAME AND FOR ANOTHER AND TO SEE WHO GETS THE MOST VOTES.

THAT'S DIFFERENT STRUCTURALLY THAN THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

SO AS CHAIR, I MEAN, AGAIN, THERE'S A THOUSAND WAYS, RIGHT, WAYS TO DO IT.

AND, AND MADE THE DETERMINATION WHICH YOU KIND OF HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE SIMPLEST WAY SIMPLY IF YOU HAVE A PERSON IN MIND, YOU NOMINATE THE PERSON AND YOU NOMINATE HOW MANY POINTS YOU WANT TO ALLOCATE TO THAT PERSON.

RIGHT NOW WE'VE WE HAD WE'VE NOMINATED 1000 POINTS TO TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

THEY'RE NOW ON THE FLOOR.

THERE'S A MOTION TO NOMINATE THE REMAINING 175 OF VOTES, NOT POINTS VOTES TO MR. KEVIN CARBO, SR.

THAT MOTION CAN BE AMENDED.

I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE AMENDMENT.

RIGHT. SO THERE WAS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

A MOTION COULD BE MADE AND BE FAILED, GIVEN YOUR POINT.

IF TRUSTEE'S HERE, HERE, YOU CAN ULTIMATELY FAIL AND ANOTHER MOTION CAN BE MADE.

BUT THERE IS THAT MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

POINT OF INFORMATION MR. PRESIDENT? YES.

MR.. TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

TRUSTEE WEINBERG WAS STATING THAT THE 175 THAT WE HAVE WILL POSSIBLY GO TO A CANDIDATE THAT POSSIBLY HAS 800 VOTES, WHICH I GUESS OUR 175 WILL MAKE THAT 1000 VOTES OR JUST HYPOTHETICALLY, RIGHT.

SO IF THAT SO IF A PERSON DOES NOT HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VOTES GIVING THEM 175, WILL THAT BE NULL AND VOID? WOULD THAT BE A WASTE OF TIME IF THEY CAN'T GET IT? ULTIMATELY, THERE ARE FIVE DIRECTOR POSITIONS, AND WHEN YOU COUNT THE AMOUNT OF VOTES AND POINTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ACROSS THE TAXING UNITS IN THE DALLAS COUNTY, YOU NEED APPROXIMATELY 1000 VOTES TO BE GUARANTEED A SEAT ON THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

SO TO YOUR POINT THE EASY SHORT ANSWER IS YES.

IF YOU JUST HAVE 175 VOTES, 175 VOTES WILL LIKELY NOT BE ENOUGH TO WELL, NOT LIKELY.

IT'S VERY UNLIKELY.

THAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO EARN A SEAT AT THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

OKAY. POINT OF INFORMATION.

THERE IS NO WAY TO HYPOTHETICALLY SAY WHO'S GOING TO GET HOW MANY VOTES.

WE DON'T KNOW.

[01:30:01]

SO EVEN IF WE WANT, IF I WANT MY CANDIDATE TO GET THESE 175, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO PUT HER IN THE SEAT.

SO THIS IS A LOT OF HYPOTHETICAL INFORMATION THAT IS BEING TOSSED AROUND.

I'VE BEEN TOLD, HEY, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU.

AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO VOTE, THEY DON'T GET MY VOTE.

I DON'T GET THE VOTE. SO THIS IS THE SAME, SAME RIGHT HERE.

AND IT IS WHAT IT IS.

IT'S UP IN THE AIR. WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO GET THE VOTES.

OKAY. OKAY. SO TRUSTEES, WE NOW HAVE MOTION STILL ON THE FLOOR.

TRUSTEE TURNER, YOUR MICROPHONES ON, GO AHEAD.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION.

OKAY. THAT WE ALLOCATE 75 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO AND 100 VOTES TO CAMILLE WHITE.

OKAY. SECOND.

OKAY. TRUSTEES, WE HAVE A WE, THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

WE'RE NOW DISCUSSING THE MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION AWARDING 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO AND HAS BEEN AMENDED TO AWARD.

SAY IT AGAIN, TRUSTEE, SO, FOR THE RECORD.

75 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO AND 100 VOTES TO CAMILLE WHITE.

75 VOTES TO TRUSTEE CARBO, AND 100 VOTES TO TRUSTEE WHITE.

SECOND THAT MOTION.

THAT MOTION.

SO IT'S BEEN MOTION.

AND SECOND. SO IT'S DISCUSSION TIME.

SO, TRUSTEE. DO WE HAVE DISCUSSION? I HAVE A POINT OF INFORMATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK OVER TO MY LEFT TO GET CLARIFICATION.

OR IS IT TO MY REAR? DO I NEED TO RESEND MY MOTION OR BECAUSE ANOTHER MOTION HAS.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS AMENDED.

IT WAS A NEW MOTION, THE WAY I SEE IT.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO, TRUSTEE.

I'LL WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

I WANT MISS FAYE TO ANSWER.

I THINK MISS FAYE IS THE ONE. OKAY.

I'M SORRY. WE WERE JUST TRYING TO SEE IF YOU HAD A SECOND BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE YOU AS A SECOND.

SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE JUST TALKING.

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

CAN YOU REPEAT THAT A SECOND? IT DID GET SECOND.

OKAY, WE GOT A SECOND. YES IT DID.

YES IT DID. IT DID.

I'M TALKING ABOUT. AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION.

MY MOTION DID GET SECOND.

SO IF NOW, AT THIS POINT, I REALIZED THAT I CAN RESCIND MY MOTION OR HE CAN REDO HIS MOTION. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO AT THIS POINT.

IS THAT YES, I WILL RESCIND.

I WILL RESCIND MY MOTION.

OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO TRUSTEE RESCINDING HER MOTION? OKAY. I HEAR NO OBJECTIONS TO TRUSTEE WHITE RESCINDING HER MOTION.

WE MISS FAYE MATTHEWS, ARE WE NOW GOOD TO ENTERTAIN TRUSTEE TURNER'S MOTION.

AND IT'S BEEN SECONDED, IS THAT CORRECT? SO WE'RE NOW HAVING DISCUSSION ON TRUSTEE TURNER'S MOTION AGAIN, TRUSTEE TURNER FOR EVERYONE, THE MOTION WAS TO AWARD 75 VOTE TO.

KEVIN. TO KEVIN CARBO SENIOR AND 100 VOTES TO.

TRUSTEE WHITE.

OKAY. TRUSTEE CAMILLE WHITE.

OKAY, TRUSTEES, THAT IS THE MOTION.

THE MOTION TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION, WHICH WAS TO AWARD 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO, SENIOR.

TRUSTEES DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION, TRUSTEE AND GOING UNDER TRUSTEE TURNER'S YOUR LIGHT IS STILL ON.

TRUSTEE TURNER. OH, OKAY.

TRUSTEE CURRIE.

I THINK. SO, I AM GOING TO OPPOSE THE AMENDMENT TRUSTEE TURNER AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS SIMPLY STRATEGIC.

IT'S THE GOAL IS TO GET AS MANY ADVOCATES FOR SCHOOLS AS WE CAN.

I THINK TRUSTEE WHITE WOULD BE A FANTASTIC ADVOCATE, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS TRUSTEE MICCICHE SAID THAT RESONATES WITH ME IS THAT MR. CARBO HAS MULTIPLE OTHER DISTRICTS WHO HAVE ADVOCATED FOR HIM.

AND IF HE CAN CLARIFY THAT IF I MISHEARD HIM.

BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, HE'S MUCH CLOSER TO GETTING TO THE MAGIC NUMBER.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET TO THE MAGIC NUMBER.

AND SO WHILE I THINK TRUSTEE WHITE WOULD BE WONDERFUL ON THERE IF WE COULD GET HER AS WELL, I'M NOT I DON'T SEE ANY INFORMATION THAT TELLS ME THAT SHE'S CLOSE TO GETTING THE VOTES NECESSARY TO GET HER ON THE BOARD.

AND SO BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M DOING WHATEVER WE CAN TO GET ADVOCATES, THE PEOPLE ON THERE THAT ARE CLOSE TO GETTING THAT NUMBER.

I'M GOING TO OPPOSE THE MOTION, BUT NOT FOR A LACK OF BELIEF THAT TRUSTEE WHITE WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF SHE COULD GET THE VOTE.

TRUSTEE MACKEY. I WAS GOING TO SHARE MY THINKING AS WELL, BUT I'LL SIMPLY CONCUR WITH TRUSTEE CURRIE'S.

[01:35:04]

I ALSO BELIEVE OUT OF ALL THE TRUSTEES ON HERE, KEVIN CARBO'S DISTRICT IS THE LARGEST, WHICH WOULD IMPLY TO ME THAT IT HAS THE MOST VOTES.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A LIST OF HOW MANY VOTES MESQUITE ISD HAS IN THIS PROCESS, BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT IS LARGER THAN THE OTHER DISTRICTS IF WE KNOW THAT.

CAN SOMEONE SHARE THAT? OKAY, I DON'T THINK WE KNOW THAT, BUT GO AHEAD.

TRUSTEE MICCICHE. I BELIEVE MESQUITE HAS 95 VOTES.

OKAY. SO AND IF HE HAS GOT OTHER DISTRICTS TO ALSO SIGN ON TO THAT, AGAIN, THIS TO ME OUTLINES DIRECTLY WITH WHAT TRUSTEE CURRIE SAID. MY GOAL TO THE HIGHER LEVEL, THOUGHT THAT SARAH HAD PERSONALLY TO GET MORE ISD REPRESENTATIVES ON THERE.

AND SO IN MY OPINION, I WILL BE VOTING ALONG THE LINES OF TRYING TO GET THE MOST POINTS WE CAN TO THE PERSON WHO IS CLOSEST ACROSS THAT LINE TO ADVOCATE FOR ISDS ACROSS OUR COUNTY. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE TURNER. OKAY, I THOUGHT WE JUST DID IT.

ONCE WE HAD A THOUSAND, WE WAS GOOD.

WELL, MICCICHE IS ALREADY ON, RIGHT? SO. OKAY.

I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT NOW SO, SO THE BEST THING, I GUESS WHAT I WANT TO DO IS I HEAR TRUSTEE WHITE ON MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A FEMALE REPRESENTATION.

I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT'S JUST NOT ALL MEN.

AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE WAY MY THINKING WAS THAT IT WOULD WILL AT LEAST GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR KEVIN TO BE ON THE BOARD, AS WELL AS CAMILLE TO BE ABLE TO SERVE AS WELL.

WITH A WITH A HUNDRED 100 VOTES, 100 POINTS, WHATEVER Y'ALL CALL IT.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M ADVOCATING FOR THAT.

SO WHEN YOU SAY THE MAGIC NUMBER, WHAT'S THAT MAGIC NUMBER TRUSTEE CURRIE THAT YOU SPEAK OF.

BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE MAGIC NUMBER WAS A THOUSAND.

IT IS A THOUSAND AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF I CAN RESPOND TO THE QUESTION DIRECTLY ASKED ME, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU KNOW, MISTER CARBO HAS THE 95 FOR MESQUITE.

HE HAS OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE ALSO LINED UP TO SUPPORT HIM, PLUS OUR 175.

SO THAT'S A LOT CLOSER TO 1000 THAN ANYONE ELSE THAT I'M AWARE OF AT THIS POINT.

RIGHT. BUT WITH CAMILLE GETTING 100, THEN THAT GETS US A LITTLE CLOSER.

I MEAN, IF DAN ALREADY GOT 1000, THAT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER.

WE BASICALLY HAVE 175 VOTES TO SPARE, RIGHT? SO WITH 175 TO SPARE, WE CAN DIVVY IT OUT, WE CAN DIVVY IT OUT EQUALLY THROUGH EVERYBODY IF WE WANTED TO CORRECT, GIVING DAN MICCICHE A THOUSAND.

IS THAT POSSIBLE? THAT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.

BUT THE IDEA IS, IF I WANT MORE THAN JUST DAN, I WANT TO HAVE MULTIPLE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ON THERE THAN GIVING THE REMAINING NUMBER TO THE PERSON CLOSEST TO GETTING THERE THAT ALIGNS WITH THE VALUES THAT I'M SEEKING IS THE STRATEGIC STRATEGY THAT I AM EMPLOYING.

SO HOW DOES 175 VOTES GET THIS KEVIN PERSON CLOSER VERSUS GIVING THEM 75 VOTES? IT'S 100 MORE. I MEAN, YEAH, I MEAN, YEAH, MATH.

BUT I'M JUST SAYING LIKE, WHAT'S HIS MAGIC NUMBER? WELL, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THE OTHER NUMBERS.

I KNOW THE 95.

SO HE SO HIS MAGIC NUMBER IS 1000.

IT WOULD BE A THOUSAND. YES.

SO EVERYBODY GETS I GUESS EVERY ISD GETS A THOUSAND.

NO. OKAY.

NO. SO WE GET YOU GET BASED ON HOW BIG YOU ARE AS A TAXING UNIT.

RIGHT. SO WE GET A THOUSAND.

SMALLER ISDS GET SMALLER AMOUNTS WHICH TRUSTEE MICCICHE MENTIONED EARLIER WE BELIEVE MESQUITE GETS 95, HAS 95 VOTES OR SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT. SO YES, EVERY ISD GETS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT, WHICH SO THAT'S WHY.

WELL, I'M GONNA STICK TO MY MOTION 75 FOR KEVIN AND 100 FOR CAMILLE.

AND THAT'S MY FINAL ANSWER.

SO THAT'S THE SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE MOTION.

TRUSTEE IS THERE? TRUSTEE JOHNSON. NO, I THINK TRUSTEE TURNER SAID IT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEING SAID IN A NICE WAY.

THAT'S ME JUST TRYING TO BE NICE WITHOUT GOING THERE.

I DON'T KNOW THIS, I DON'T KNOW TRUSTEE CARBO, I DO KNOW TRUSTEE WHITE.

I UNDERSTAND I DO SUPPORT THE MOTION OF TRUSTEE TURNER.

AND NO ONE HAS GIVEN US A DEFINITE ANSWER CONCERNING THE VOTES OF TRUSTEE CARBO AND HOW FAR HE IS FROM THIS.

THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT OTHER DISTRICTS MAY SUPPORT.

IT'S NOT DEFINITE.

SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING TRUSTEE TURNER MOTION.

OKAY. FURTHER DISCUSSION TRUSTEES.

OKAY. THIS IS THE MOTION TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL MOTION THAT'S ON THAT WAS ON THE FLOOR TO AWARD 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO.

[01:40:02]

TRUSTEES, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

I HAVE ONE OLDER.

TRUSTEE MICCICHE, ARE YOU ABLE TO VOTE? NO, I DON'T HAVE IT. I VOTE NO.

OKAY. AND JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR FOR BOARD SERVICES, THE MOTION WAS TO AMEND THE MOTION.

MOTION FAILS.

FOUR VOTING YES, FIVE VOTING NO.

OKAY, TRUSTEES THE MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION HAS FAILED.

WE RETURN BACK TO OUR INITIAL MOTION TO AWARD 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO, SENIOR. TRUSTEES, DO WE HAVE DISCUSSION? YES. TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

IT IS CONCERNING TO ME WHEN Y'ALL WHEN WE HAVE THIS KIND OF SPLIT ON THIS BOARD.

THAT'S VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND I'VE LISTENED TO EVERYONE AND TRIED TO BE VERY POLITE, BUT I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE WHITE. WE DO NEED SOME DIVERSITY ON THE BOARD.

WE DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A FEMALE REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS BOARD, ON THAT BOARD.

AND I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT WHAT TRUSTEE TURNER WAS TRYING TO DO.

I RESPECT TRUSTEE WHITE'S CONCERN.

I'M A BIG ADVOCATE FOR EQUITY.

AND IF WE HAVE NO FEMALE AND I DON'T KNOW WHO'S ALL ON THE BOARD, BUT BASED OFF WHAT TRUSTEE WHITE IS SAYING THAT WE NEED MORE, WE NEED A FEMALE REPRESENTATIVE TO, IT'S TOO TOP HEAVY CONCERNING MEN.

AND SO THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME.

SO I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. SO OF COURSE I SUPPORTED TRUSTEE WHITE GETTING THE 100 VOTES. WHAT IS REAL CONCERNING AND I TRIED TO ALLUDE TO IT EARLIER, IS THE SPLIT ON THIS BOARD.

THE SPLIT BASED ON RACE.

BASED ON RACE.

I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD TEN YEARS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN IT LIKE THIS.

TEN YEARS.

AND I'VE NEVER SEEN IT LIKE THIS.

WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

WE CAN'T ADVOCATE TO THE CHILDREN AND TELL THE CHILDREN HOW TO ACT WHEN WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT.

AND IT'S NOT JUST DIVERSITY.

IT'S WOMEN.

WOMEN DON'T COUNT.

THEY DON'T MATTER.

PAULINE MEDRANO IS NOT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, BUT I WOULD TRUST HER ALMOST WITH MY LIFE.

BECAUSE I KNOW HER CHARACTER.

BUT THAT NEVER COMES INTO PLAY.

THIS BOARD IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME TO SOME REAL RECKONING ON WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW WE'RE DOING IT, AND THE LITTLE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED.

WE NEED PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

IT HAS GOT TO GET BETTER.

WE'VE GOT TO BE BETTER.

THIS HAS BEEN GUT WRENCHING FOR ME TO WATCH THIS GO ON.

I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT'S BEEN GUT WRENCHING.

TRUSTEE WHITE. I AM ALMOST AT A LOSS FOR WORDS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT STATED WE COULD DO NOTHING WITH THIS 175 VOTES AND WE COULD AND WE COULD JUST GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND GIVE THEM TO DAN, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO END UP

[01:45:06]

THIS IS NOTHING NEW.

I KNEW THIS GOING IN.

I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN COMING IN, I KNEW.

SO AT THIS POINT, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY WORKING MY LAST NERVE AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH LEFT.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT ALL 175 VOTES GO TO DAN MICCICHE.

OH, I'M NOT GOING TO GET A SECOND.

OKAY. DIES FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

TRUSTEE CURRIE. I WANT TO SAY THAT I DO RESPECT A GREAT DEAL THE YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE OF TRUSTEE FOREMAN AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I CANNOT APPROACH VOTES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF OTHERS.

I DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCES THAT OTHERS HAVE.

AND I KNOW THAT I DO JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST FIVE FOUR VOTE THAT I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF ON THE BOARD, SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CONSISTENTLY DIVIDING ALONG THE LINES FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HAVE A HEALTHY DIALOG WITH EVERY MEMBER OF THE BOARD, INCLUDING YOU, TRUSTEE FOREMAN, AND OTHERS.

AND WE MAY NOT ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE, BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU SHARING YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

TRUSTEES, AND FURTHER DISCUSSION.

DISCUSSION AROUND THIS IS ROUND TWO.

ROUND TWO. OKAY. TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

I HAVEN'T ALWAYS SAT ON THIS BOARD.

AND I'VE SEEN DIVISION RACIAL DIVISION IN THIS DISTRICT.

SO UNDERSTAND TRUSTEE LANCE, BUT I CAN'T SIT HERE AND BE QUIET AND ACT LIKE THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THIS IN THIS DISTRICT.

YEAH. WE CAME DOWN HERE PROTESTING.

BLACK KIDS CAME DOWN HERE TO PROTEST.

SO WE CAN'T ACT LIKE IT AIN'T BEEN NO DIVIDE.

I AGREE WITH WHAT TRUSTEE TURNER WAS TRYING TO DO, AND I TRIED TO BE HERE AND BE QUIET.

BUT I CAN'T BE QUIET WHEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE HISTORY HAS NOT BEEN HERE.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO.

AND IT IS A CONCERN.

I'M GETTING TEXTS. IT IS A CONCERN FOR MY COMMUNITY.

I'M GETTING TEXTS.

THAT THEY ARE SEEING THIS DIVIDE IN MY COMMUNITY.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL BLACK TRUSTEES VOTE.

IT IS CONCERNING THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

YOU MAY NOT THINK IT IS, BUT I'M TELLING YOU IT IS.

SO MY COMMUNITY IS LOOKING IN DISTRICT FIVE.

WE'RE LOOKING AND I'M NOT GOING TO ACT LIKE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DIVIDE.

HOWEVER, WE'VE BEEN BETTER FROM ME SITTING OUT THERE AND NOW ME SITTING UP HERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER ON THAT.

WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT GOING TO IGNORE THAT HISTORY.

BUT THIS IS KIND OF DIFFERENT FOR ME RIGHT NOW.

IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT FOR ME.

TRUSTEES. ROUND TWO.

OKAY. TRUSTEES. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

A POINT OF INFORMATION.

CAN THE ORIGINAL MOTION BE REPEATED, PLEASE? YEAH, THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO, SENIOR.

MOTION PASSES, SIX VOTING YES, THREE, NO.

OKAY, TRUSTEES, YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED THE MOTION APPROVING 175 VOTES TO KEVIN CARBO SENIOR AND 1000 VOTES TO DAN MICCICHE. SURE THERE ARE NO VOTES REMAINING.

TRUSTEES WILL NOW MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 8.02.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION REGARDING THE VITAL ROLE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND STAFF IN TEXAS.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION REGARDING THE VITAL ROLE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND STAFF IN TEXAS? MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. TRUSTEES HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION REGARDING THE VITAL ROLE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND STAFF IN TEXAS.

TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION? OKAY, TRUSTEES, I SEE, SEEING NO DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

[01:50:38]

TRUSTEES YOU JUST ADOPTED ITEM 8.02.

[01:55:04]

SECOND. TRUSTEE HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES. TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

I'LL TAKE THE QUESTION.

OKAY. SO ORIGINALLY, I BELIEVE IT WAS EIGHT.

YES, MA'AM. AND IT'S BEEN REDUCED TO.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIX.

THAT WAS OUR ERROR AS WE REVIEWED THE DOCUMENT AFTER YOUR QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THE NEXT QUESTION IS, IS THAT WHEN I LOOK AT THE EXPENDITURES AND MAYBE WE CAN GO BACK AND TRY TO GO THROUGH IT.

THOMPSON AND HARDEN HAS GOTTEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY BASED ON OUR EXPENDITURES YEAR OVER YEAR.

AND OTHER COMPANIES HAVEN'T GOTTEN A LOT MORE.

BUT THOMPSON AND HARDEN KEEPS GROWING IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE SPENDING.

SO FOR ME, I'D LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SPENDING OUR RESOURCES ON WITH THOMPSON AND HARDEN.

WHAT LEGAL ADVICE WHAT EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I THINK I'M LOOKING AT IT.

AND IT WAS LIKE $5 MILLION OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO. IT'S 5.728 OVER, I BELIEVE A FISCAL YEAR 2022, 2023 AND 2024. AND THE NEXT CLOSEST TO THAT IS RAMIREZ AND ASSOCIATES AT 1.6 MILLION. SO IT WOULD JUST BE INTERESTING TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT.

THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, TRUSTEES, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES SIX VOTING YES.

THREE NOT PRESENT.

TRUSTEES, YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED ITEM 10.01.

RECOMMENDED MEMBERS TO SERVE ON THE 2024-2025 DALLAS ISD SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.

NO FINANCIAL IMPACT CONSENT, ITEM 9.05 PULLED DUE TO REVISIONS.

TRUSTEES, DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. TRUSTEES HAS BEEN MOTIONED AND SECONDED.

MOVED AND SECONDED. TRUSTEE IS THERE OR IS THERE DISCUSSION? THIS WAS SIMPLY BROUGHT FORWARD BECAUSE WE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AFTER FEEDBACK FROM PRESIDENT CARREON AND TRUSTEE WHITE AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBER NAME WAS CHANGED TO PARENT SO THAT WE WOULD INCREASE THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF PARENTS THAT SPECIFICALLY CAN BE SELECTED FOR THE COMMITTEE.

SO THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THIS.

YEAH. AND JUST TO AND THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT, FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS MY CONCERN, BECAUSE IT WASN'T EMPHASIZED BEFORE THAT A PARENT WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE BOARD.

AND OF COURSE, I'M ALWAYS ADVOCATING FOR PARENTS TO PARTICIPATE.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS.

OKAY. TRUSTEE SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

MOTION PASSES EIGHT VOTING YES.

ONE NOT PRESENT.

TRUSTEE, YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED ITEM 10.02.

TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO ITEM 10.03.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO AUTHORIZE AN INCREASE TO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT WITH THE AWARDED VENDOR FOR VAN RENTAL AND SERVICES FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS NOT TO EXCEED 875,000 THROUGH AUGUST 31ST, 2025.

GENERAL OPERATING SPECIAL REVENUE AND BOND FUNDS.

CONSENT ITEM 9.06 PULLED BY TRUSTEES WHITE AND FOREMAN.

[02:00:04]

OKAY. TRUSTEES.

IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

TRUSTEES. IS THERE A DISCUSSION? YES. OH, SORRY.

THANK YOU. I DID SPEAK WITH DOCTOR LUSK CONCERNING THIS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DID PASS THIS, BUT IT'S KIND OF ODD TO ME BECAUSE WE NORMALLY DEAL WITH THINGS IN POOLS AND WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE VENDOR, BUT THIS IS ONLY ONE VENDOR.

SO I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE THIS IS COMING BACK UP AGAIN IN AUGUST 31ST, 2025.

AND MY QUESTION ALSO IS IN THE PAST, HAVE WE ALWAYS UTILIZED THIS ONE COMPANY BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER A NUMBER OF COMPANIES THAT I COULD JUST THINK OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT RENT VANS.

SO IN THE IN THE PAST, HAVE WE ONLY USED THIS ONE VENDOR AND IN THE FUTURE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE VENDOR TO SELECT FROM? SINCE 2021, WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED, WE'VE USED JUST THIS ONE VENDOR.

AND OBVIOUSLY GOING FORWARD WHEN THIS RFP GOES BACK OUT, WE'LL FOLLOW THE PROCESS.

AND THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION.

AND THE REASON THAT I AM, YOU KNOW, ASKING THIS IS BECAUSE, OF COURSE WE TRIED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE VENDOR TO GO TO, AND MAYBE EVEN IN THIS CASE, IF WE HAD MORE THAN ONE VENDOR, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK OUT FOR BID.

SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN I'M SUPPORTING IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DISCUSSION.

OKAY, TRUSTEES SEEING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

MOTION PASSES EIGHT VOTING YES.

ONE NOT PRESENT.

TRUSTEES, YOU JUST ADOPTED ITEM 10.03.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO RATIFY THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.

CONSENT ITEM 9.07 PULLED BY TRUSTEES, FOREMAN AND WHITE.

TRUSTEES, DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. TRUSTEES HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

TRUSTEES, IS THERE A DISCUSSION? TRUSTEE FOREMAN. YEAH, JUST REAL QUICKLY.

AND I'VE TALKED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ABOUT THIS ALSO.

THERE ARE SOME.

THANK YOU FOR MEETING WITH ME.

BUT THERE ARE THERE'S TERMINOLOGY ON HERE THAT I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH, AND SO I WILL WAIT FOR AN ANSWER LATER AND FOR THE RECORD, SO THAT IT'S ON WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. AND IS THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS WHERE WE CAN PUT EXPANSION OF DEFINING CATEGORIES SO THAT IT'S EASIER TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THOSE EXPENDITURES.

AND IN FACT, IT ALSO BENEFITS US BECAUSE IN ALTOGETHER, BECAUSE IN MANY INSTANCES TEA IS ALSO RECODING CERTAIN THINGS.

AND SO WHAT WE PUT UNDER IN OUR EXPENDITURES OR IN EVEN OUR FINANCIALS, UNDER A CERTAIN FUNCTION ONE YEAR IS NOW QUOTED UNDER A DIFFERENT FUNCTION. SO WHEN WE EVEN COMPARE YEAR TO YEAR OR MONTH TO MONTH, IT MAY LOOK LIKE SOMETHING HAD AN INCREASE OR A DECREASE, WHEN IN FACT SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH CODING.

SO WE'LL WORK ON SOME OF THAT SPECIFICITY.

AND I THINK IT WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US JUST LIKE IT DOES ON OUR REGULAR BUDGET.

LIKE WHERE IS OUR WHERE ARE OUR DOLLARS GOING? AND ARE SOME ARE THERE SOME PLACES WHERE WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT THAT WE CAN THEN SPEND MORE DOLLARS, AS WE ALL KNOW, AT THE CLASSROOM LEVEL.

THANK YOU.

CHIEF RAMOS WILL GET USED TO ME.

TRUSTEE WHITE. I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION.

I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, BUT IT DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, AS TRUSTEES RECEIVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN, AND ALSO WANTS TO JUST THANK CHIEF RAMOS FOR HIS SUPPORT AND HIS HARD WORK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. TRUSTEE SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

[02:05:13]

TRUSTEES, YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED ITEM 10.04.

TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO ITEM 10.05, CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING ENDED JUNE 30TH, 2024.

CONSENT ITEM 9.08 PULLED BY TRUSTEES FOREMAN AND WHITE.

TRUSTEES DO I HAVE A MOTION.

MOVED TO APPROVE.

SECOND. TRUSTEES HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

TRUSTEES, IS THERE A DISCUSSION? YES. TRUSTEE FOREMAN.

EXCUSE ME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SUPERINTENDENT THAT I ASKED ABOUT SPECIFICALLY ON THAT, THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LOT IS THE SITUATION THAT WE FOUND OURSELVES IN LAST YEAR AND HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE CAMPUSES TO GET FUNDS.

I BEEN TOLD THAT THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN THIS YEAR, HOPEFULLY IN THE BUDGET.

SO I'VE GOT FINGERS CROSSED.

WELL, I DO WANT TO BE CLEAR.

I'M NOT COMMITTING THAT.

I WON'T HAVE TO GO AND LOOK AT WHAT THE EXPENDITURES ARE.

WHAT I COMMITTED TO WAS ENSURING THAT ALL OF THE CAMPUSES HAVE AMPLE NOTIFICATION OF WHEN THE WINDOW FOR SUPPLIES ARE PURCHASED BECAUSE, AS WE DISCUSSED BEFORE, WHEN PURCHASES ARE BEING MADE BECAUSE THERE ARE DOLLARS AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL, AND THEN THE CAMPUSES START TO PURCHASE OVERAGES OF MATERIALS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PURCHASED EARLIER ON IN THE YEAR.

SO WE ARE ALSO GOING TO SUPPORT THEM BY MONITORING THAT, SO THAT WE DO GET THOSE PURCHASES MADE SO THAT OUR STUDENTS CAN UTILIZE THEM.

SO AND THAT WAS TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY AND TOTALLY A FAILURE ON MY PART WITH REGARD TO THE COMMUNICATION AND TO THAT I DO COMMIT THAT WE WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN.

SO HAVE WE STARTED TO COMMUNICATE TO THE CAMPUSES ALREADY IN REGARDS TO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS? SO THE CAMPUSES I SEE CHIEF HEWITT SHAKING HER HEAD.

YES. SO WE'VE COMMUNICATED TO THE CAMPUSES ALREADY.

YES, MA'AM. THERE'S A TIMELINE ALREADY THAT STARTS TO TELL THEM WHICH PURCHASES, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE'RE GOING TO START MAKING TECHNOLOGY PURCHASES.

WE DON'T GO INTO JANUARY AND FEBRUARY FOR PURCHASES OF LARGE ITEMS THAT WE KNOW KIDS NEEDED.

IF THE CAMPUS IS MAKING THOSE PURCHASES WITH REGARD TO MATERIALS.

THEY CAN PURCHASE THOSE KINDS, LIKE IF THEY NEED ADDITIONAL PAPER OR SUPPLIES FOR TEACHERS, THOSE CAN GO IN DEPENDING ON THE QUANTITY, INTO MARCH AND APRIL.

BUT AT THE END OF APRIL, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO RECONCILE, BECAUSE ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS YOU BRING TO OUR ATTENTION ARE OPENED POS WHEN WE AREN'T ABLE TO CLOSE THEM OUT.

SO IT'S A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD IF WE LET THEM PURCHASE WAY TOO FAR.

A, I QUESTION WHY DIDN'T WE BUY THOSE THINGS EARLIER? AND THEN SECONDLY, IT'S HARD TO RECONCILE.

SO I THINK IT'S A BOTH END.

AND WE ARE COMMUNICATING THOSE TIMELINES, AND WE'RE GIVING THEM REPORTS OF WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THEIR BUDGET HAS ALREADY BEEN SPENT.

AND ED SHOULD BE WORKING WITH THEIR PRINCIPALS ON, HEY, YOU'RE ONLY SPENDING THIS MUCH.

WE'RE AT THIS. CORRECT.

SO WE'VE IMPROVED OUR PROCESSES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DALLAS COLLEGE, RICHLAND, AND THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PROVIDE MEAL SERVICE TO STUDENTS OVER FIVE YEARS, INCLUDING RENEWAL OPTIONS.

NO FUNDING REQUIRED.

PROJECTED REVENUE AMOUNT $172,692.

CONSENT ITEM 9.17, PULLED BY TRUSTEES FOREMAN AND WHITE.

TRUSTEES, DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. TRUSTEE'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

AH TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES. TRUSTEE.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. SO.

ALL OF OUR STUDENTS GET FREE LUNCH.

CORRECT? IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

AND IF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS GET FREE LUNCH, THEN WHY ARE WE GOING TO PAY RICHLAND COLLEGE TO FEED OUR STUDENTS? WE'RE NOT PAYING THEM.

THIS IS US RECEIVING A REVENUE.

THE REVENUE IS COMING IN.

YES, MA'AM. SO WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THEY HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AT RICHLAND COLLEGE THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR EARLY COLLEGE.

HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS AT HILLCREST AND CONRAD ATTEND.

SO CHIEF BATES ALREADY HAS A TEAM THAT GOES OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS ARE BEING FED.

THEY HAVE ASKED TO CONTRACT WITH US, SINCE WE'RE ALREADY BRINGING FOOD AT A COST, WHERE WE WOULD END UP MAKING $172,000. SO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FEED THEIR KIDS BECAUSE THEY'RE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, BUT OUT OF COLLEGE CAMPUS AND THEY BELONG TO DALLAS COLLEGE.

SO SINCE WE WERE ALREADY THERE, WE ARE ASKING THE BOARD TO GIVE US PERMISSION SO WE CAN DRAW $172,000 AS REVENUE BY FEEDING OTHER STUDENTS. BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE WAY THIS READS, BUT THAT MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME.

IT DOESN'T SAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT REVENUE, BUT IT MAKES MORE SENSE.

YEAH. MY APOLOGIES.

WE PUT PROJECTED REVENUE AMOUNT AND I THOUGHT REVENUE WOULD, WOULD INDICATE THAT WE WERE RECEIVING THE MONEY.

BUT WE'LL WORK TO DESCRIBE IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING IT.

WE CAN'T DO THAT THOUGH WITHOUT YOUR WITHOUT THE BOARD'S PERMISSION.

I JUST IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.

SO THAT'S FINE.

THANK YOU.

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SBA 2012 12.

TC ASSETS LLC FOR A COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AT FRANKLIN STADIUM FOR FIVE YEAR TERM, WITH A FIVE YEAR RENEWAL OPTION.

$270,765.93 REVENUE OVER A FIVE YEAR TERM.

CONSENT ITEM 9.23 PULLED BY TRUSTEES FOREMAN AND WHITE.

TRUSTEES DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. OKAY.

TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN MOVED AND SECOND.

IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES.

TRUSTEE. FOREMAN. OKAY.

SO, I GUESS MY BIGGEST QUESTION, FIRST OF ALL, I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE US GETTING REVENUE.

SO THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE IS HOW DO WE ACTUALLY GO ABOUT CHOOSING THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY? WE DIDN'T CHOOSE THEM, THEY CHOSE US TRUSTEE FOREMAN THEY APPROACHED US ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEASE THE PROPERTY AT FRANKLIN STADIUM.

AND SO WE VETTED THEIR REQUEST AND WE BROUGHT IT TO THE BOARD ORIGINALLY BACK IN 2005 FOR APPROVAL.

SO I GUESS THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS IF THEY BOUGHT IT TO US, MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE COULD HAVE GIVEN US SOMETHING A BETTER DEAL POSSIBLY. THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.

BUT THIS IS THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THIS LEASE IS WAY OVER MARKET WHAT THEY WOULD NORMALLY PAY.

SO. I SEE WATER.

OH NO. NO, HE DRANK WATER.

AND WE DRINK WATER THE WRONG WAY.

DOWN THE WRONG WAY. YEAH. WE'RE DOWN THE WRONG WAY.

SO, SUPERINTENDENT, AGAIN, THIS KIND OF GOES BACK TO MY WHOLE ISSUE REGARDING OUR PROCESS OF PROCURING AND MAKING SURE A DEAL CAN LOOK SWEET, BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE THINGS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THE BEST DEAL FOR US.

AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE APPROACHES US DOESN'T MAKE IT THE BEST DEAL? I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS WRONG, BUT THIS IS A THIS IS A BIGGER PICTURE THING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT A LOT WHEN IT COMES TO PROCUREMENT.

YOU JUST HEARD THAT IT'S JUST A BIGGER, BIGGER ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE BEST DEAL.

AND IF SOMEONE APPROACHES US FOR A DEAL, THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS THE BEST POSSIBLE DEAL THAT THAT WE CAN GET.

I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING JUST BECAUSE THEY APPROACH US DON'T MEAN IT'S OUR BEST DEAL.

AND WE BRANT, YOU HEARD ME SING OVER AND OVER AND OVER THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE DEAL.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

TRUSTEE WHITE. YES.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON.

I JUST HEARD SINCE 2005.

WHAT PURPOSE? I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND IT'S AN ATHLETICS FIELD.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, LIKE, WHAT ARE THEY USING IT FOR? OR IS IT A, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING.

OUR REVENUE IS BEING GENERATED BY TELECOMMUNICATIONS HERE.

THIS IS A CELL TOWER.

SO AS A CELL TOWER HAPPENS TO BE AT THIS SITE.

AND SO AND I'M SO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2005 WHEN THE DISTRICT FIRST ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT? IT WAS A FIVE YEAR JUST LIKE IT IS NOW WITH A FIVE YEAR RENEWAL.

AND SO THEN TEN YEARS LATER BECAUSE THIS DEAL WAS CRAFTED IN 2004, IT WAS APPROVED IN 2005.

SO, TEN YEARS LATER, IN 2014, WE ONCE AGAIN BROUGHT TO THE BOARD A FIVE YEAR WITH A FIVE YEAR RENEWAL.

AND DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME, APPRAISALS WERE DONE TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE, AT LEAST WITH THE MARKET VALUE WAS.

SO NOW IT'S TEN YEARS LATER, IT'S 2024.

WE'RE BRINGING IT AGAIN AFTER OUR TEAM DID DO EVALUATION OF WHAT THE CURRENT MARKET IS FOR RENTING, FOR LEASING CELL TOWERS, AND THE TEAM IS BRINGING IT BECAUSE THEY DO THINK THIS IS A GOOD REVENUE STREAM AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON ENSURING THAT WE ENSURE THAT THESE ARE MARKET OR ABOVE MARKET VALUES.

SO BASICALLY THEY HAVE A TOWER ON OUR PROPERTY.

CORRECT? CORRECT. AND WE HAVE BEEN LEASING IT.

AND THEY BASICALLY I MEAN, BECAUSE I KNOW WITH CELL TOWERS, NORMALLY IF THEY WANT TO PUT IN MORE MICROWAVE DISH OR WHATEVER, THEY CAN JUST ADD IT TO THEIR EXISTING TOWER THAT THEY USUALLY HAVE. SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE ARE GENERATING REVENUE FROM THIS AND THAT THERE'S NO, YOU KNOW, SAFETY

[02:20:01]

AND BUT I JUST BASICALLY WANTED TO GET SOME MORE BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN.

ROUND TWO. OKAY. ROUND TWO.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. JUST REAL QUICKLY.

THIS DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T JUST HELP THE DISTRICT.

IT ALSO HELPS THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE COMMUNITY.

SO I'M WELL AWARE OF THE NEED FOR THIS, PARTICULARLY IN CERTAIN AREAS.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE BEST VALUE.

OKAY. TRUSTEES, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.

TRUSTEES, YOU JUST ADOPTED ITEM 10.09.

TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 14.

ADJOURNMENT. THE TIME IS 8:21 P.M.

AND THIS MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED.
