IT'S AMAZING AND ASHLEY FURNITURE AWARDED HIM A $10,000 SURPRISE, AND THAT WAS THAT'S ALWAYS GREAT FOR OUR TEACHERS. NEXT SLIDE IS JUST TO REALLY SHARE. WHAT WE HAVE WHAT WE WORKED WITH THIS SUMMER AS INSPECTION REVEALED NON AIRBORNE MOLD ON THE INSULATION AROUND THE CHILLED WATER PIPING AT BARRINGTON PLACE ELEMENTARY. WHILE IT DOESN'T PRESENT AN IMMEDIATE HEALTH HAZARD, WE TOOK A VERY PROACTIVE APPROACH AND I REALLY WANT TO STOP AND THANK ONE OR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT ARE CUSTODIANS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ON BOOTS ON THE GROUND WHO ARE HELPING WITH THESE DAYS DAY TO DAY. UM, IS ISSUES, BUT I REALLY WANT TO STOP AND THINK THAT BARRINGTON PLACE STAFF PRINCIPAL RUTH RIHANNA. AND HOST PRINCIPLES THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT IN JUST A MOMENT AS WELL. BUT THE BARRINGTON PLACE STAFF I MEAN, THIS IS NEVER SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO IS PACK UP YOUR CLASSROOM AND MOVED TO ANOTHER LOCATION AND WE MET WITH THEM LAST WEEK, AND THEY WERE VERY FLEXIBLE AND GRACIOUS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY MUCH OF AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION HOST CAMPUSES AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, EARLY CHILDHOOD, PRE K AND SPECIAL EDIT SUGAR MILL. AND KINDERGARTEN 1ST AND 2ND IT MEADOWS AND 3RD, 4TH AND 5TH GRADES AT LAKEVIEW. SO THANKS ALSO TO PRINCIPAL MCCLANAHAN AND PRINCIPAL GUYS FOR BEING SO GRACIOUS TO WORK WITH MS RIHANNA AND I WILL SAY THAT BARRINGTON PLACES HOSTED MANY OTHER SCHOOLS DURING REBUILD AND DURING VARIOUS ISSUES, AND SO IF ANYTHING THAT WE LEARN WE MAKE THE LEMONADE OUT OF THE LEMONS AS WE TEACH CHILDREN THAT KINDNESS AND WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.

[6. Public Comment]

VIRTUALLY YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MEETING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR ALLOTTED THREE MINUTES. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS BARBARA ROBERTSON. MR ROBERTSON, YOU

[00:10:16]

AND OVER THE YOU JUST SAW THE SUPERINTENDENT'S, BUT MANY OF THE KIDS HAVE BEEN DOING THEIR ANIMAL PROJECTS ALL SUMMER LONG AND AGRICULTURE BUILDINGS ARE FIGURES FULL OF SCHOOL STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES AND HAVE A DIVERSE REACH WITH ART STUDENTS. BAND KIDS, AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU SERVE, THERE IS A FAIR PARTICIPANT WITHIN YOUR DISTRICT WITHIN YOUR AREA. JUST KNOW THAT THIS YEAR OUR FARES COMMITTED TO $1.4 MILLION TO YOUTH ARE SCHOLARSHIPS AND OUR AUCTIONS. WE HAVE FOUR AUCTIONS. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU KNEW THAT OR NOT, BUT WE HAVE THE SCHOOL ART AUCTION THE GENERAL LIVESTOCK AUCTION. THE COMMERCIAL HYPER AUCTION AND OUR FREEZER CELL. IF YOU HAVE NOT INTENDED ARE FAIR. YOU'RE MISSING OUT. THERE'S THERE. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN STUDENTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS TO WITNESS AND SEE AND TO DO AND POSSIBLY A FUNNEL CAKE OR TO AGRICULTURE IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE UNITED STATES. HERE IN TEXAS AGRICULTURE EMPLOYEES ONE OUT OF EVERY SEVEN WORKING TEXAN, SO THINK ABOUT THAT. THIS YEAR. WE HAVE 12 LIVESTOCK SHOWS 600 LIVESTOCK ENTRIES AND HUNDREDS OF LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS WHO WILL BE TAKING PART IN THE FARES. 10 DAY RUN AND NO THIS THIS IS IMPORTANT. I'M NOT A MATHEMATICAL MATH PERSON, BUT HALF OF THOSE EXHIBITORS. UM JUST SHY OF THAT ARE IN YOUR DISTRICT. SO THAT'S A LOT OF KIDS FROM YOUR THAT'S MORE THAN A FOOTBALL TEAM AND A LOT MORE THAN ABOUT BASKETBALL TEAM, SO JUST KIND OF PUT THAT INTO NUMBERS FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, SOMEWHERE AS WE SPEAK, THERE'S A FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AND A LIVESTOCK BARN OF AN F F A STUDENT OR FOUR H STUDENTS AND THESE HOT SUMMER TOUCH TEMPERATURES. IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY AS A BOARD YOU HAVE COMMITTED TO THESE 20 SECONDS. BUDGETING AG BUILDINGS, ADDITIONAL AG TEACHERS AND SUPPORTING THE MUSIC AND ARTS PROGRAM. TODAY. ALL I WOULD LIKE IS TO REMIND REMINDERS BE SENT OUT THROUGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION FOR YOU TO BE THERE PERSONALLY, EACH OF YOU TO BE COME OUT TO THE PORTLAND COUNTY FAIR. BRING FRIENDS. BRING FAMILY HELP US. SPREAD THE WORD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR ROBERTSON. AND THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION. UM OUR NEXT SPEAKER.

IS MISS ELAINE BROOKS.

MISS BROOKS, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OCTOBER. 2017 MY DAUGHTER LISA WAS KILLED. IN A SCHOOL ZONE, WALKING YOUR SON TO SCHOOL AS SHE CROSSED A SIDE RESIDENTIAL STREET AND SUV MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS THE FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROAD. UH ACCELERATED AT A FAST SPEED INTO HER GRANDSON, WHO WAS WALKING HALFWAY, UM, A LITTLE BIT BEHIND HER WAS HIT BY THE BUMPER AND MY DAUGHTER WAS RUN OVER. UM LOGAN WAS IN A REAL CHAIR FOR THREE MONTHS. THE DRIVER INITIALLY LIED AT THE SCENE. POLICE KNEW IT WAS A LIE . FORTUNATELY A HOUSE HAD A CAMERA AIMED AT THE CROSSWALK, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT WATCHING THAT, BUT THE DRIVER NEVER TRIED TO HELP MY DAUGHTER OR ACKNOWLEDGE. ANYTHING. UM. ALL THE TIME. UM LISA WAS LOGAN WAS CRYING OUT. UM, PLEASE DON'T LET MY MOMMY DIE. UH IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS SUCH A HORRIBLE, SENSELESS DEATH. A FEW SHORT DAYS AFTER LISA WAS KILLED HER HUSBAND, MY DAUGHTER, GINA, AND

[00:15:01]

SO THAT THIS ISN'T HAPPENED TO OTHERS WHERE THEY THAT DROVE US TO SEEK JUSTICE FOR LISA AS A DRIVER BASICALLY ONLY GOT A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR NOT YIELDING RIGHT AWAY. BRIAN MILLER, BRIAN MILLER MILTON TAKING OFFICE. WE CONTACTED HIM 11. MONTHS AFTER OUR MEETING, WE SAT IN THE FAMILY WAITING ROOM IN THE D A'S OFFICE WAITING FOR THE GRAND JURY RESULTS. THE GRAND JURY TOOK OVER 45 MINUTES. USUALLY THE ONLY TAKE ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER 45 MINUTES, THE JURY DECIDED NOT TO INDICT. THE GRAND JURY FOUND, UM, THE NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE STATUTE TOO BROAD AND TOO DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE FOLLOWING JANUARY, UM, THE A MILITANT WAS STANDING AT THE STEPS OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE. ON THE OPENING DAY WITH HIS BILL IN HAND, AND HE WAS HE HAD SENATOR JOHN HOFFMAN AS A SPONSOR, AND REPRESENTATIVE RON REYNOLDS. BUT AFTER THE HOUSE PASSED THE BILL, I BELIEVE SENATOR HOFFMAN HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH GOVERNOR ABBOTT SIGNING EDDIE. SHE CONVINCED HIM ALTHOUGH I LIKE TO THINK THAT MY NINE YEAR OLD GRANDSON, LOGAN, WHO WROTE A PERSONAL LETTER TO GOVERNOR ABBOTT, ASKING HIM TO SIGN HIS MOMMY'S BILL THAT DID THE TRICK. I URGE YOU TO. AS WITH THE HANDOUTS, I HAVE GIVEN YOU TO SEE THE ENTIRE VIDEO OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE, 30 SECONDS, OKAY? UM. SO IN CLOSING BECAUSE OF LISA'S DEATH, A NEW LAW HAS BEEN PASSED. BY THE FOR THE WHOLE STATE OF TEXAS MIGHT, AND IT'S NOW A FELONY. TO KILL OR INJURE, CRITICALLY INJURED A PEDESTRIAN IN THE SIDEWALK OR CYCLISTS. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL FOR THE BOARD TO HONOR LISA'S LAW. AND HER DEATH BY NAMING A NEW SCHOOL AFTER HER IT'S MY HOPE THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 52 53, OR HIGH SCHOOL, 12 HAS THE HONOR TO BE NAMED AFTER MY DAUGHTER. THANK YOU. MISS BROOKS . I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING. HER NEXT SPEAKER IS SAM RUBIN CO. MR RUBIO, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND BOARD. THIS IS ABOUT INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT SEEM TO BE CONTINUING TO CREEP INTO OUR CLASSROOMS AS WELL AS WOMEN IN SPORTS. YOUNG LADIES IN SPORTS. MATTHEW CHAPTER 18 VERSE SIX, BUT WHO SO SHALL OFFEND ONE. OF THESE LITTLE ONES WHICH BELIEVE IN ME. IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILLSTONE WERE HANGED THE BUT HIS NECK AND THAT HE WERE DROWNED IN THE DEPTH OF THE SEA. THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD. I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THE AWFUL COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH TEXTBOOK. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS A PURPLE E VETTED AS AGED APPROPRIATE AND IT FEEDS INTO SEXUAL PROMISCUITY. THE TEXT REFERS TO PREGNANT PERSON'S GENDER IDENTITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTIVISM AND ADVISES THAT STUDENTS RESEARCH REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE E ABORTION. THE TEXT IS APPROVED BY THE TEXAS STATE BOARD, BUT IT IS NOT MANDATORY. NOR IS A HEALTH COURSE REQUIRED BY TEXAS LAW. THIS IS NOT A SPEECH AGAINST PURE HEALTH AND DIETING AND EXERCISE. IT'S A SPEECH AGAINST THE CONTENT BEING EXPOSED TO ALL WHEN ONLY IT MIGHT AFFECT A FEW. GRANTED, THERE WILL BE SOME EVEN CLOSE TO HALF OF THE STUDENTS WHO MIGHT ENGAGE IN SEXUAL ACTIVITY BEFORE THEY GRADUATE IN SOME STUDIES, BUT APPROVING THIS BOOK SAYS, GO AHEAD. IT'S THE NORM. NOW IT ROBS THE INNOCENT FROM HALF OF THESE STUDENTS BY EXPOSING THEM.

HAS ANYONE THOUGHT OF THAT SIDE OF THE COIN. IS THIS THE NORM THAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR 10 OR 11 OR EVEN 15 YEAR OLD MOM, I'M HOME FROM SCHOOL. I THINK I CONTRACTED SOMETHING. WELL I GOT CURIOUS AFTER READING THAT HEALTH TEXTBOOK. SO THIS GIRL AND I DECIDED TO EXPERIMENT. AND BESIDES AH, STATING THAT YOU ARE EDUCATING THEM IN ADVANCE, HAS NO DIRECT CORRELATION. IN THEM ACTUALLY USING THE DATA. LET ALONE UNDERSTANDING IT. IT'S A FALLACY TO THINK WHEN WE TEACH THAT THEY ALSO LEARN AND ACT ON IT. AND IF HALF THE STUDENTS AREN'T EVEN ON SUCH A PATH AND WON'T BE, THIS OPENS UP THEIR CURIOSITY AS MUCH AS ADAM AND EVE'S. THE SO CALLED HEALTH TEXTBOOK HAS BEEN REJECTED IN MANY PLACES, INCLUDING DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA AMIDST THE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS OF THE SEXUAL PROMISCUITY AND OFFENSIVE TEACHINGS AND OUR OWN LOCAL WALLER. I SD HAS REJECTED IT WITH 1/6 OH UNANIMOUS VOTE. TOMBALL I SD HAS ALSO REJECTED IT LOCALLY. UNDER THE SPORTS PART AS FAR AS SPORTS. WE DON'T WANT MALES AND GIRLS SPORTS AND GIRLS SPORTS OR GIRLS IN THEIR SPORTS OR IN THEIR BATHROOMS. THERE SHOWERS THEIR LOCKER ROOMS . OKLAHOMA RECENTLY PASSED SAVE THE WOMEN'S SPORTS ACT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. FEMALES NEED TO BE PROTECTED AND 12. OTHER STATES IN FLORIDA HAVE PASSED SIMILAR LAWS AS WELL. THE WORLD TRACK

[00:20:01]

AFTER THIS IF WE DO OPEN THE SCHOOL BACK IN 15 DAYS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAIL IN YOUR BALL DAY, AND WE DON'T REALLY STUDYING WHAT FAILED AND WHAT WE CAN PREVENT AND BASICALLY GOING OUT WITH STATUS SCHOOL. THAT MEANS WE HAVE FAILED. WE CANNOT FEEL THE LIFE OF A CHILD IS TOO AVAILABLE FOR US TO FAIL, ESPECIALLY FOR US THAT HAS THE MEANS AND ABILITY TO DO IT. SO I HERE REPRESENT A GROUP OF PARENTS. TALKING TO YOU ALL WHO I TO ME ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CHILDREN. LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. LET'S DO NOT OPEN THE SCHOOL, WHICH STATUS SCHOOL ON SAFETY. DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAGGOT. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MISS ALISON MORRIS. MISS MORRIS, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR WENT BACK AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MY NAME IS ALISON MORRIS AND I'M THE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN AND FOUR BEN DST . THIS EVENING. YOU ALL ARE VOTING ON IMPORTANT MATTERS THAT DIRECTLY AFFECT OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR LEARNING. WELL, I'M STILL PASSIONATE ABOUT DISCIPLINE AND SAFETY. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT MATTER AS A FORMER READING TEACHER, MAINLY TO AT RISK YOUTH. I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS YOU ALL IN REGARDS TO THE LOCAL BOOK POLICY THAT DEFINES HOW AND WHEN A BOOK CAN BE CHALLENGED. AND WHO SITS ON THE COMMITTEE. AFTER THAT CHALLENGES FORMALLY SUBMITTED. I WANT TO STAY FOR THE RECORD THAT I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF REMOVING ANY BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARIES. WELL, I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE BOOKS THAT I AS A PARENT MAY NOT WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO READ. IT IS NOT MY JOB TO IMPOSE MY PARENTAL CHOICES ON OTHERS. BOOKS PROVIDE SO MUCH TO OUR STUDENTS, AND WHEN WE BEGIN REMOVING THEM DUE TO SUBJECT MATTER THAT MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE. WE BEGIN TO SLIDE DOWN A SLIPPERY SLOPE. OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING RAISED IN A TIME OF COMMUNICATION THROUGH TEXT AND SNAPCHAT. OUR STUDENTS ARE POOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND TEND TO BELIEVE WHEN THEY ARE IN A HEALTHY ARGUMENT. THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED. PARENTS AND EDUCATORS ARE CHARGED WITH EDUCATING OUR YOUTH BEING ABLE TO ARTICULATE A VIEWPOINT WHILE OTHERS OPPOSE IS A LIFELONG SCALE. WE MUST PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE AND TO LEARN FROM THE POLICY ALLOWS ANYONE TO CHALLENGE A BOOK THROUGH WRITTEN FORM AND WALK AWAY. ANYONE CAN WRITE A REASON AND WALK AWAY IT. STATES DISTRICT EMPLOYEES MAY SIT ON THE COMMITTEE, WHICH IS UNDERSTOOD THAT IF A DISTRICT EMPLOYEE CHALLENGES A BOOK THEY ARE ON THE REVIEW COMMITTEE. HOWEVER IF A PARENT CHALLENGES A BOOK, THEY ARE NOT, IN THE WORDS

[00:25:05]

THIS IS ANOTHER DIFFICULT NAME, MR ALBERT. AH AH LIGER.

MR OLIVER, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BORDER ON THE SCHOOL SAFETY AND MAKE SURE THAT OF FORT BENNING. SD IS DOING THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN. TO MAKE OUR STUDENTS SAFE. THERE ARE TWO PROGRAMS UNDER THE LAW THAT CAME INTO EFFECT ON ONE SEPTEMBER ONE IS THE SCHOOL MARTIAL SYSTEM. WHICH I DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE THE FORT BEND COUNTY, TOO. PAY FOR THE FUNDS THAT SEND POLICE OFFICERS TO THAT, REALIZING THAT THEY MAY BE TRAINED AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN GENERAL, BUT THIS IS SPECIFIC TO SCHOOL SAFETY. THE BIG ONE I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE IS THE I S D SUPPORT THE SECOND PROGRAM, WHICH IS A SAFE SCHOOL GUARDIAN PROGRAM. IT IS WHERE TEACHERS ARE TRAINED, HIGHLY TRAINED TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS NOT ADD TO SCHOOL SECURITY, BUT PROTECT STUDENTS FIRST. AS YOU'VE HEARD , IT TAKES 3 TO 5 MINUTES AT BEST. FOR ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO RESPOND, AND THEN NOT MATTER OF DAMAGE AND AGGRESSIVE CAN DO WITHIN THAT. 3 TO 5 MINUTES. A TEACHER WHO IS ARMED. FIRST OF ALL, IN THIS TRAINING, THEY TEACH THEM HOW TO AVOID. CONTACT. DETAILS ON HOW TO DENY ACCESS TO THE STUDENTS BY THE AGGRESSOR AND IF THOSE TO FAIL WHAT A TEACHER CAN DO TO DEFEND.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOW. ALL THESE TEACHERS MUST BE LICENSED TO CARRY QUALIFIED. I AM A LICENSED TO CARRY INSTRUCTOR AND FOUR WEEKS AGO I WAS ONE OF THE 1ST 12 INSTRUCTORS. TO BE CERTIFIED BY THE STATE TO TEACH THE INSTANT THE GUARDIAN PROGRAM . IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR STUDENTS SAFETY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE BEST FASTEST PROTECTION AVAILABLE. A TEACHER TRAINED IN THOSE SKILLS. ARE TRAINED TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT WELL WITHIN THE FIVE MINUTES THAT AN AGGRESSOR CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE AND IF YOU ALL WOULD HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT ANY TIME, UH, I THINK MR HAMILTON'S KNOWS HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. BUT I DO ENCOURAGE FIRST OF ALL SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL MARSHAL PROGRAM. GETTING YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PAGE SECURITY WELL TRAINED IN SCHOOL SAFETY, IT IS TALL. IT IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN STANDARD PUBLIC SA OF SCHOOLS ARE DESIGNED FOR EASY ACCESS. 30 SECONDS, UH, ALSO TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW AND HOPEFULLY FUND ASK TEACHERS TO BECOME SAFE CERTIFIED FOR SCHOOL SAFETY GUARD GUIDANCE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MISS ALEXIS GEISLER. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ALEXIS GEISLER. AND I'VE HAD CHILDREN IN THIS DISTRICT FOR THE PAST NINE YEARS. I WANT TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU

[00:30:05]

THERE SHOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHECKLIST AND PROCEDURAL TRAINING FOR EACH CAMPUS DUE TO LIMITED TIME TO SPEAK TONIGHT. I'VE PRINTED A SUGGESTED LIST OF WHAT WE INCLUDED, AND I ALSO EMAILED ALL OF IT TO YOU AS WELL. THE SECOND ITEM THAT I FEEL IS MISSING IS SELF DEFENSE WAS EXPANDED UPON IN THE GLOSSARY, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE POINTS OF FEEDBACK. BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FURTHER. THIS WAS A KEY POINT. I HEARD FROM MANY PARENTS LAST YEAR. PARENTS AND KIDS ARE LEFT FEELING HELPLESS AGAINST AGGRESSORS UNLESS THEY'RE WILLING TO HAVE THEIR OWN KIDS PUNISHED, TOO. IT'S NOT RIGHT AND WE NEED TO FIX THIS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELF DEFENSE AND MUTUAL COMBAT SECONDS. MANY OF THE DISCIPLINE TECHNIQUES ARE NOT SEVERE ENOUGH. IN MY OPINION TO BE APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT AND SHOULD BE REVISITED. THE DOCUMENT ALSO LISTS THAT THE TEACHERS ARE THE ONES TO WORK WITH THE STUDENTS AND MANY OF THESE DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS. MISS SMITH WATSON DID EXPLAIN TO ME RIGHT BEFORE THIS, THAT THESE ARE GUIDELINES THAT TEACHERS WANT TO BE USED IF THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO THE DISCIPLINE THEMSELVES, BUT I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CLARIFIED BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PUTTING ALL OF THE DISCIPLINE ACTION ON OUR TEACHERS. THEY'RE THERE TO TEACH. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE UNDER THE GUN TIMING FOR THIS APPROVAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS GEISLER. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MR WILLIAM FERGUSON.

MR GOOD EVENING. SOME OF YOU KNOW ME. MY NAME IS WILLIAM FERGUSON. I'M A SUGAR LAND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER. I'M ALSO A POLICE OFFICER HERE IN FORT BEND COUNTY FOR 30 YEARS. I'M A DAD OF TWO. AND A HUSBAND TO A TEACHER. AND SO, MY, UH, ENCOURAGEMENT TO YOU TODAY IS THIS AS WE APPROACH THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. UM I WAS IN. YOU'VE ALDI TODAY'S AFTER THAT TRAGEDY. I'VE NEVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. STUDENTS IN FORT BEND COUNTY. THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES. ONE IS SAFETY. AND IT IS THE TOP PRIORITY YOU CAN TRY TO TEACH, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT SAFE YOU'RE MISSING THE MARK. SO SAFETY RESPECT, WE SHOULD RESPECT TO EVERYONE REGARDING REGARDLESS OF THEIR CLASS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME, REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING, WE SHOULD RESPECT EVERYONE AND THE THIRD IS OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH SAFETY. SO HERE'S MY CHALLENGE. EXCUSE MY EMOTION. GO TO YOUR BODY AND YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THERE WERE SOME. HMM JUST ASTRONOMICAL BLUNDERS THAT OCCURRED THAT COST THE LIVES OF 22 PEOPLE. IT WILL NEVER BE FOR IT. BEEN COUNTY. I KNOW YOUR POLICE. THEY'RE GREAT MEN AND WOMEN AND I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THESE CHILDREN. BUT AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, HERE'S WHAT I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A SINGLE SCHOOL IN THIS

[00:35:03]

MAKE ME CRY, TOO. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MR JACK KLIGER. HELLO MY NAME IS JACK KLIGER.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? UM, I CAME THIS BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION. TWO ITEMS THAT. YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF THAT ONE IS, UH A NEW REGULATION BEING HANDED DOWN BY THE ANY EXCUSE ME ANY A TITLE? NINE. I THINK IT'S CALLED. WHERE THERE IS A EXPLICIT AND GUIDELINES. FOR TEACHING AND PROVIDING SEXUAL IDENTITY. I REMIND YOU THAT. THAT'S A CODE WORD FOR SEXUAL CONFUSION. ALSO, THERE'S A I GUESS, A BOOK THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED. UH, I CAN'T. AND WHAT'S THE BOOK? HELP TEXT HEALTH TEXTBOOK. SPAIN CONSIDERED TO BE USED, WHICH ESSENTIALLY AGAIN IS TO TEACH SEXUAL IDENTITY. UH, OR SEXUAL CONFUSION TO THE STUDENTS. ANYWAYS. UH I OPPOSE THOSE. IT'S APPARENT RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH CHILDREN THOSE THINGS. THE ONLY THING I THINK THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE TEACHING WOULD BE ACTUALLY, UH. MEDICAL A NANAMI. AND BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE AND A BIOLOGICAL CLASS. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S THE PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITY. SO I WOULD.

ASKED THAT FORT BEND COUNTY I S D TELL THE ANY A. WE WILL NOT COMPLY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR KLINGER. OUR NEXT FINGER SPEAKER . EXCUSE ME, CONGRESSMAN WILSON. GOOD EVENING. IN TORA AGGIE FRIENDS. HOWDY IN FACT, THIS BOARD FOR TIME TO TALK ABOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NUMBER 55 ITS NAME. WITHOUT PARENTS AS JOHN DOE. THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. IS THAT AS GREAT AS IS TODAY, PARENTS ARE THE BEDROCK OF OUR PROSPERITY. WE HAVE 55 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW FORBID EYES D WE'VE HAD NONE. IN 63 YEARS NAMED AFTER A PARENT. THIS BOARD HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE HISTORY. TO FOLLOW, LAID. DAME ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 55 AFTER LISA TORREY SMITH. AS LATE MENTIONED.

LEAST WAS KILLED GOING TO SCHOOL WITH THEIR SON, LOGAN. WHAT OVER GOING TO JAN SHIFT ELEMENTARY

[00:40:02]

INCLUDING SUGGESTING THE USE OF STERILE NEEDLES FROM MEDICAID MEDICATIONS. DRUGS. AND TATTOOS.

AH ANOTHER IS RECEIVING S T GUYS STD TESTING. UH AFTER DISCUSSION WITH A TRUSTED ADULT, NOT A PARENT. UH UM, WHETHER PARENTS HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED IF A MINER'S TESTS POSITIVE, THE TEXT CLAIMS THAT PHYSICIANS MAY NOTIFY PARENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, GOING SCOOTING AROUND THE PARENT. WE DON'T WANT TO SCOOT AROUND. OUR PARENTS. GENDER I DIDN'T EAT IDENTITY IS AS A CORE COMPONENT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL COMBINED TO CREATE A NEW INDIVIDUAL. UH, ON PREGNANCY. OH WHERE THE CARRIER IS CALLED A PREGNANT PERSON. RATHER THAN A PREGNANT WOMAN. AH ANOTHER IS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE. THIS IS A TERM AH, IT'S A CODE WORD FOR ABORTION. AND STUDENTS ARE INSTRUCTED TO STAKE OUT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES. AND TO RESEARCH WHETHER PARENTAL NOTIFICATION IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THESE SERVICES. UM. AND THEN I WANT TO READ HERE ABOUT THE, UH, THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE. 30 SECONDS . THANK YOU, 26 008 B PROHIBITS A TEACHER FROM ENCOURAGING A CHILD TO KEEP ANYTHING FROM THEIR PARENTS. SINCE THE HEALTH TEXTBOOK REPEATEDLY CLAIMS THAT TEACHERS TELL THEIR CHILDREN THEY DON'T HAVE TO TELL THEIR PARENTS THAT THEY CAN TALK TO THEIR DOCTOR WITHOUT A PARENT WITHOUT A PARENT PRESENT THAT THEY CAN GO TO A FREE CLINIC FOR STDS. AND EVEN ON AND ON. ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON SAID THE TEXT OH, DID YOU SAY TIME?

[00:45:01]

[7A. Safety and Security Update]

[00:50:02]

BUT WE CAN'T FILL 54 POSITIONS. WE CAN'T DO IT. I'VE GOT POSITIONS THAT ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE POST FOR A POSITION TWO YEARS AGO, WE GOT 100 APPLICANTS FOR ONE POSITION. WE COULD DO THAT THEN. BUT WITH THE NEGATIVE SCRUTINY ON POLICE OFFICERS THESE DAYS AND THE WAY UM EVERY SINGLE ACTION IS PICKED APART. YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE PROFESSION. I CAN TELL YOU. WE HAD 18 APPLICANTS IN OUR LAST POSTING 18. SO IF THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WANNA DO SOME DO SOME WORK FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. THEN APPLY FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. OKAY, AND WE'LL TRAIN YOU. WE'LL TRAIN YOU ON WHAT TO DO. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BUT WE CAN'T GET APPLICANTS. AND IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT IN THIS COUNTY OR ACROSS THE STATE. BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU I TALKED TO MY COUNTERPARTS ALL OVER THE STATE , AND IT'S THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

EVERYBODY SHORTHANDED. OKAY SO 54 MORE OFFICERS SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA. BUT WE CAN'T FEEL THEM RIGHT NOW. OKAY? SO HAVING SAID THAT? UM, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS MORE THAN JUST THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO FILL YOU IN TONIGHT. I WANT TO TELL YOU WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO, AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE WOULD RESPOND. UM IN IN THAT TYPE OF SITUATION, UM WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY POLICE OFFICERS. WE HAVE OFFICERS AT EVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL AND EVERY HIGH SCHOOL. UM A FEW YEARS AGO, WE CAME TO THE BOARD AND WE ASKED FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PATROL OFFICERS. THAT WAS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ABOUT GETTING OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO ELEMENTARY PATTERNS. RIGHT SO WE HAVE ONE OFFICER. THAT'S A SIGN FOR EVERY HIGH SCHOOL FEEDER PATTERN, AND THEY DO NOTHING BUT PATROL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THEY PROVIDE THEY PROVIDE THAT, UM THAT THAT. PRESENTS. UM AND THAT SECURITY FOR THOSE ELEMENTARY'S UM. WE ALSO HAVE A 24 HOUR DISPATCH OPERATION AND WE DON'T HAVE A 24 HOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. IN THE AFTERNOON. WE DON'T HAVE ANY OFFICERS ON DUTY. UM, BECAUSE WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THE POSITIONS FOR IT. UM SO IF OUR OFFICERS ARE WORKING ON ATHLETIC EVENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THOSE ARE THE ONLY OFFICERS THAT ARE OUT IN THE EVENINGS. WE DON'T HAVE NIGHT PATROL. WE DON'T HAVE WEEKEND PATROL. OKAY UM, WE DO HAVE A 24 HOUR DISPATCHER ARE OUR DISPATCHERS ARE ON DUTY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK THERE THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION FOR THIS DISTRICT, SO THEY MONITOR ALL THE INTRUSION ALARMS, FIRE ALARMS, UM, CARD ACCESS SYSTEMS. CAMERAS ON THOSE KIND OF THINGS. UM WE HAVE A LIFE SAFETY DEPARTMENT WHERE WE HAVE 10 ALARM TEXT. UM THEY SERVICE AND MAINTAIN ALL OF OUR BURGLAR ALARMS, FIRE ALARMS, CARD ACCESS SYSTEMS, KITCHEN HOOD VENTS, FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ALL OVER THE DISTRICT. WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR. UM WE HAVE ONE IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR WHO DR WHITBECK JUST INTRODUCED AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM BART. HEARING A LITTLE BIT. UM AND, UM, HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT ON A SEPARATE SLIDE. UM BUT I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE FOLLOW 100 AND 70 BEST PRACTICES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT VOLUNTARILY. NOBODY TELLS US WE HAVE TO DO IT. WE CHOOSE TO DO IT, AND IT'S NOT EASY TO DO. BUT IN 2016, WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE A RECOGNIZED AGENCY. THERE ARE OVER 300 SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE ARE ONE OF ONLY FIVE TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION. AND THAT'S A FOUR YEAR PROCESS. AND SO EVERY FOUR YEARS YOU HAVE TO OPEN YOURSELF UP BACK TO BACK TO THAT SCRUTINY. OKAY TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING 100 AND 70 BEST PRACTICES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR US, RIGHT? SO WE WERE RE RECOGNIZED IN 2020. HERE'S WHAT THAT TELLS OUR COMMUNITY. HERE'S WHAT I HOPE IT TELLS OUR COMMUNITY. IS THAT WE ARE DEDICATED TO BEING THE ABSOLUTE BEST THAT WE CAN BE. OKAY THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED OUR OFFICERS WITH BODY CAMERAS. THAT'S THE BEST PRACTICE WITH BULLETPROOF VESTS. THAT'S THE

[00:55:01]

SUPERINTENDENT SIGNS OFF ON IT, AND WE REPORT THAT TO THE STATE TO THE TEXAS SCHOOL SAFETY CENTER. WE HAVE NOT FAILED TO REPORT THAT SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE , AND THAT'S ON A THREE YEAR CYCLE, AND I WILL SAY THAT WITH ONE PERSON DOING THOSE AUDITS, WE HAVE TO BREAK UP THE SCHOOLS AND THE THIRDS UM, AND SINCE COVID HAPPENED, WE CAN'T DO THE AUDITS WHEN THERE'S NO KIDS IN THE BUILDING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE. AND SO WE WERE ON A TIGHT TIMELINE THIS YEAR, AREN'T WE TO GET THE LAST SUPPOSEDLY THIRD OF OUR SCHOOLS DONE, BUT IT'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT. UM WE ALSO CREATED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT LAYS ON POSITION. WE WANTED TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR IN OUR DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AND HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT AT EACH SCHOOL THAT'S DEDICATED TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ON THEIR CAMPUS. AND SO WE'VE CREATED THE ML POSITION. AND THAT PERSON IS ABLE TO, UM GATHER INFORMATION FROM OUR E. M. C AND THEN WE FILTER THAT DOWN TO THE CAMPUSES INSTEAD OF BART. HAVING TO GO TO 82 CAMPUSES, HE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE 82 E. M. L S AND THEN THEY CAN TALK AT STAFF MEETINGS ABOUT TRAINING AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE NEED THEM TO TALK ABOUT. UM OKAY. OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY MASTER PLAN. WE DON'T HIDE ANYTHING. WE'RE PRETTY TRANSPARENT. OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY MASTER PLAN IS POSTED ON THE POLICE WEBSITE. ANYBODY CAN CLICK ON IT. UM I IMPLEMENTED THIS IN 2014. WE WERE COMING UP ON A BOND AND WE NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT DO WE NEED TO PUT IN THE BOND? WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO WE NEED TO DO TO SECURE FORTMAN HONESTY SCHOOLS? HMM ARE WHAT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, THOUGH, IS THERE IS NO SINGLE SECURITY INITIATIVE THAT'S GOING TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS. THERE'S NOT ONE WE HAVE TO LAYER OUR SECURITY INITIATIVES. RIGHT? AND HERE'S THE ILLUSTRATION THAT I USE A LOT. SAFETY AND SECURITY IS LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE. OKAY? ONE PIECE IS IMPORTANT, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE FULL PICTURE AND YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL THE PIECES IN THE RIGHT PLACE. BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN TO SEE THE FULL PICTURE. AND IF ONE PIECE IS MISSING, YOU DON'T HAVE THE FULL PICTURE. NOW NOT EVERY SAFETY AND SECURITY INITIATIVE WORKS FOR BEN, I S D. JUST LIKE NOT EVERY SAFETY AND SECURITY INITIATIVE OUT THERE WORKS FOR ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT. EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS DIFFERENT. THERE ARE 1220 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, ROUGHLY EVERY DISTRICT IS DIFFERENT. SO WHAT HAPPENS IN NEUTRALITY MAY NOT WORK FOR 14. I S D. WHAT WE DO HERE MAY NOT WORK FOR THEM, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO DECIDE AND THIS IS WHAT OUR JOB IS. WE HAVE

[01:00:06]

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A LAYERED SYSTEM. SO WE'VE GOT SECURITY VESTIBULES. WE KNOW THAT INSANE T HOOK. THE FRONT DOORS WERE LOCKED. AND WHEN THAT SHOOTER CAME UP AND I WON'T SAY HIS NAME AND I DON'T HOPE NOBODY ELSE WILL EVER SAY THEIR NAME. THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. WHEN THAT SHOOTER CAME UP TO THE DOOR AND THE DOOR WAS LOCKED. WE KNOW THE STEPPED OFF TO THE SIDE SHOT A HOLE THROUGH THE GLASS. THE WHOLE WINDOW FELL AND HE WALKED RIGHT IN. AND THERE WAS NO VESTIBULE, AND WE SAID WE CAN'T DO THAT IN FOR BEN. SO I GUESS WHAT WE DID. WE DECIDED TO PUT VEGETABLES IN EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. THAT WASN'T AN EASY TASK. AND WE PUT WINDOW FILM IN TO KEEP THE GLASS FROM FALLING AND WE PUT CARD ACCESS ON EVERY SINGLE EXTERIOR DOOR AND THE IN THE DISTRICT. IN ALL OF OUR CLASSROOM DOORS HAVE LOCKS ON THEM. AND THEN WE PUT RHINO WHERE FLOOR MOUNTED DOOR LOCKS ON EVERY CLASSROOM DOOR IN THE DISTRICT. AND THAT'S THE FIRST SAFETY INITIATIVE IN MY 32 YEARS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT WE'VE PUT ON SOMETHING AND PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME FOR MORE OF THEM. MOST OF THE TIME SAFETY INITIATIVES ARE NOT CONVENIENT.

RIGHT BUT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IF YOU LOCK THAT CLASSROOM DOOR, WHETHER THE DOOR KNOB IS UNLOCKED OR NOT, PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GET IN THAT ROOM. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED

[01:05:04]

THE GUY JUMPED THE FENCE. OKAY SO FENCES DON'T DO WHAT WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO ALL THE TIME. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT. UM, STUDENT ID'S. UM WE'RE ONE OF OUR SAFETY INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH SUPPLY CHAIN THAT'S PRETTY COMMON NOW WITH COVID. SO IT'S SETTING US BACK A LITTLE BIT. BUT THE FLOOR MOUNTED DOOR LOCKS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE'VE EVER PUT IN OUR SCHOOLS. THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR ANYBODY TO USE AND WHETHER YOU HAVE A SUBSTITUTE IN THE CLASSROOM THAT DOESN'T HAVE A KEY FOR THE DOOR. OR YOU HAVE A TENURED VETERAN TEACHER. OKAY? ANYBODY CAN OPERATE THE RANO WHERE FLOOR MOUNTED DOOR LOCK. AND ONCE YOU DO THAT DOOR IS SECURE. YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET INTO THAT DOOR. IT'S GOING TO TAKE AN AWFUL LOT TO GET THROUGH THAT DOOR. AND THAT IS TIME THAT WE'RE ON ON THE WAY AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE THEM. OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMS. ALRIGHT WE ALSO CREATED A THREAT ASSESSMENT PROCESS PROGRAM, SO WE HAVE CAMPUS THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAMS. WE'VE GOT A STANDARDIZED CAMPUS STARTED ASSESSMENT TEAM NOW. UM SEVERAL YEARS AGO, PART OF OUR GROWING PROCESS WAS TO CREATE A DISTRICT LEVEL THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM AND ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WAS GETTING ALL THE CAMPUSES ON THE SAME PAGE. SO WE GOT ALL THE CAMPUSES ON THE SAME PAGE TO DO A CAMPUS LEVEL THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM. SO IF A STUDENT MAKES A THREAT OKAY. THE CAMPUS LEVEL THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM ENGAGES THE STUDENT AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS. AND IF IT'S A TRANSIENT THREAT, MEANING IT'S IT WAS A JOKE. IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. UM IT WASN'T SERIOUS, THEN IT STAYS AT THE AT THAT LEVEL. BUT IF WE THINK IT'S A SUBSTANTIVE THREAT, LIKE THERE MAY BE SOMETHING TO IT, OR IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T CONSIDER A JOKE, RIGHT, LIKE SHOOTING UP A SCHOOL OR DOING HARM TO PEOPLE. THAT'S NOT A JOKE. AND WE DON'T TREAT IT AS A JOKE, AND WE'RE GONNA FALL CHARGES ON YOU FOR THAT THAT GOES TO THE DISTRICT LEVEL THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM. NOW THAT WE HAVE CONVENED, WE HAVE A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST ON STAFF. WE HAVE TWO LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS ON STAFF. WE HAVE A INTAKE SPECIALIST ON STAFF, AND WE HAVE TWO TRAINED OFFICERS WHO ARE CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINED ON STAFF. AND NOW WITH OUR NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE A SPACE FOR THEM TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM SO THEY CAN COLLABORATE ON THESE , UM, THREATS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS. IN OTHER WORDS, I KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT I DIDN'T TELL SO AND SO WELL, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER. THEY'RE IN THE SAME SPACE NOW. NOT EVERY THREAT. NEEDS A POLICE INVOLVEMENT, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THEY'RE THERE. IN CASE WE DO NEED IT WERE ALSO THERE TO BE A RESOURCE, RIGHT? A LOT OF THE KIDS THAT MAKE THREATS. THEY NEED OTHER RESOURCES THAN JUST A POLICE OFFICER. UM AND SO IT'S

[01:10:03]

AND SO IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT MAKES A THREAT, WE'RE FOLLOWING THEM ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEIR HOSPITAL CAREER. IT DOESN'T JUST STOP WITH THE POLICE REPORT OR COUNSELORS REPORT AND THAT'S IT . WE FOLLOW THEM ALL THE WAY THROUGH BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEM TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE NEGLECTED, OR WE DON'T CARE AS A DISTRICT AND SO THEN THEY DON'T HAVE, UM, THEY'RE NOT AS LIKELY TO HAVE THE URGE. THEY'RE GOING COMMIT SOME TYPE OF VIOLENCE, RIGHT? ALRIGHT. STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL. THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE PUT IN PLACE. UH IN 2016 STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL WAS, UM. STARTED BY JOHN MICHAEL KEYES, WHO HAD A DAUGHTER AND UM, HIGH SCHOOL IN COLORADO AND A DRIFTER WALKED IN AND TOOK CONTROL OF THE CLASSROOM. AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY HE LET MOST OF THE STUDENTS GO. UM AND THEY STARTED GETTING AGITATED, AND AS A SWAT TEAM DECIDED TO GO IN, HE SHOT AND KILLED, UM JOHN MICHAEL'S DAUGHTER. AS A SWAT TEAM CAME IN AND TOOK HIM OUT. OKAY SO, JOHN MICHAEL KEYES STARTED THIS. UM I LOVE YOU GUYS FOUNDATION WITH THE STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL. AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS DOES. IN YEARS PAST I'VE BEEN IN SCHOOL DISTRICT LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 25 YEARS. WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST, UM , CODE WORDS FOR DRILLS. MR SMITH IS IN THE BUILDING. UM CODE BLUE CODE GREEN OR WHAT DO THOSE MEAN? UNLESS YOU'RE FULL TIME ON STAFF. YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE MEAN. IF YOUR SUBSTITUTE TEACHER YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE MEAN. AND SO WHAT STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL DOES. HE GOES, CAN CONSISTENT, CLEAR, SHARED LANGUAGE AND ACTIONS FOR EVERYBODY TO DO THE SAME THING. AND SO SINCE 2016 WE'VE BEEN USING THAT WELL, SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED USING IT, THE GOVERNOR SAID. EVERYBODY SHOULD USE IT WELL. LUCKILY, WE WERE AHEAD OF THE GAME. BUT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL HERE, THIS MESSAGE THESE ACTIONS AND SO ANY SCENARIO THAT YOU CAN THINK OF WILL FALL UNDER ONE OF THESE FIVE WHOLE MEANS EVERYBODY STAYS PUT. RIGHT UM, SECURE IS LIKE A LOCKOUT. OKAY THAT HAS CHANGED FROM LOCKOUT TO SECURE LOCKDOWN. EVERYBODY IS IN A CLASSROOM BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR EVACUATE MEANS WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING COULD BE FIRE. SHELTER IN PLACE COULD BE FOR HAZMAT COULD BE FOR MEDICAL COULD BE FOR WEATHER. SO ANY SCENARIO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A WHOLE DIFFERENT LIST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRILLS THAT WE NEED TO DO. WE'VE GOT FIVE MESSAGES RIGHT HERE THAT WE CAN TRAIN OUR KIDS VERY QUICKLY AND OUR STAFF MEMBERS. AND THEY DO THAT, AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT. UM THIS IS ALSO IN THE PARENT STUDENT HANDBOOK. SO EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF IT. WE ALSO HAVE STAFF TRAINING ON THIS. AND THE AND THE CAMPUS IS COMPLETE THESE DRILLS EVERY SEMESTER. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE THAT WE HAVE, UM COMMON SHARED LANGUAGE. UM THAT HELPS US COMPLETE THESE DRILLS, UM SO THAT OUR KIDS CAN GET TO SAFE PLACES VERY QUICKLY. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO BART AND LET HIM TALK ABOUT DRILLS IN THE SCHOOLS. THANK YOU, CHIEF. UM IT'S GONNA BE HERE. THANK YOU. SO UH, WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR DRILL AND OUR DRILLS AND WHAT WE'VE DONE THIS YEAR IS LOOK AT THE WAY WE'VE DONE DRILLS, AND WE'VE CHANGED THE SCHEDULE OR THE TEMPO OF OUR DRILLS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE WITHIN THE 1ST 10 INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS. OUR CAMPUSES , ALL OF THEM WILL WILL HAVE CONDUCTED FOUR OF OUR MAJOR DRILLS AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS AS IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN ALREADY IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE DONE OUR DRILLS THAT WERE PREPARED AND OUR STUDENTS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE DRILLS. AND SO THAT IS A SWAT CHANGE THAT WE'VE MADE IN THE DISTRICT. AND SO THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD PRACTICE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DRILLS , AND SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A LOCKDOWN AND SECURE DRILL EVACUATION LIKE A FIRE DRILL. AH AND ALSO A SHELTER FOR HAZARDOUS WEATHER WITHIN THE 1ST 10 DAYS. EACH MONTH THAT THERE'S 10 DAYS . 10 INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS WILL ALWAYS DO OUR OUR FIRE EVACUATION DRILLS. BUT THEN IN THE SPRING AGAIN WHEN OUR STUDENTS RETURN AFTER BREAK, WE WILL ALSO DO A SERIES OF DRILLS EARLY IN THE SPRING SEMESTER, SO THAT WE'RE PREPARED FOR ANY TYPE INCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE. OKAY, ST FOR YOU TO KNOW HOW WE TRAIN. UM AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER AGENCIES

[01:15:05]

YOU CAN HAVE YOURS OVER THERE. WE DON'T DO THAT IN FORT BEND COUNTY. WE KNOW JUST LIKE, UH, JUST LIKE THE GENTLEMAN SPOKE BEFORE FROM SUGAR LAND. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE ARE COMMITTED. TO MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE SUGARLAND RESIDENTS ARE STUDENTS ARE MISSOURI CITY RESIDENTS ARE SHIRT. OUR STUDENTS, UM, ARE ARE FORMING COUNTY RESIDENTS. AND SO WE ALL HAVE A STAKE IN THIS. UM SO WE MEET REGULARLY. UM WE HAVE A SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE THAT'S REQUIRED BY LAW. WE HAVE FINALIZED THE, UM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS NOW AS WE'VE HAD SOME TURNOVER, AND WE GOT A MEETING SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK. UM THAT WILL BE WHERE WE CAN TALK TO TALK TO THE COMMITTEE. UM AND JUST SHARE SOME OF THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE, UM AND GET SOME FEEDBACK. WE ALSO DO CRAZY TRAINING THAT CIVILIAN RESPONSE TO ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENTS. UM THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF A LITTLE PLUG. BUT LIEUTENANT HALL AND I , UM ARE CRAZY INSTRUCTORS. WE WENT THROUGH SPECIALIZED TRAINING THROUGH THE TEXAS SCHOOL SAFETY CENTER TO BE CERTIFIED IN THAT AND I WILL TELL YOU THIS, UM, THIS TRAINING UM, TEACHERS YOU ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT. UM AND WHAT YOUR WHAT KIND OF EMOTIONS YOU'LL FEEL WHAT YOUR HEART RATE WILL DO FOR YOUR FINE MOTOR SKILLS WILL GO. UM AND THEN HOW TO OVERCOME THAT ? UM WE HAVE TAUGHT THIS TRAINING NOT ONLY FOR STAFF MEMBERS, UM, WE HAVE ACTUALLY GONE OUT TO DOCTOR'S OFFICES.

WE'VE GONE OUT TO OTHER, UM, BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY. A SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE GOING TO BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY TO TEACH THIS TO THEM DURING THEIR LUNCH BREAK, UM OR AFTER WORK.

UM AND WE DON'T CHARGE FOR THAT THIS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. SO IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO SCHEDULE SOME CRAZED TRAINING, WE ARE HAPPY TO DO THAT, UM SINCE I GOT HERE IN 2010. I REQUIRE EVERY SINGLE FORTMAN I SD OFFICER TO HAVE 80 HOURS OF T. COLTRANE NG TI COLA'S OUR LICENSING AGENCY. JUST TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE . T COLE REQUIRES EVERY OFFICER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO HAVE 40 HOURS OF TRAINING EVERY TWO YEARS EVERY TWO YEAR TRAINING CYCLE. REQUIRE 80 HOURS OF TRAINING EVERY SINGLE YEAR, SO WE QUADRUPLE THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF TRAINING HOURS THAT ARE LICENSING AGENCY SAYS. WE HAVE TO HAVE AGAIN. THAT'S A CHOICE FOR US TO BE THE BEST THAT WE CAN BE. UM WE HAVE MANDATORY SCHOOL BASED LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING. UM, I ACTUALLY TEACH SCHOOL BASED LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING FOR THE TEXAS SCHOOL SAFETY CENTER AS WELL. UM SO WE ARE HEAVILY INVESTED IN TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO BE SCHOOL BASED POLICE OFFICERS, UM, AND ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE TRAINING. I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW. THAT THIS SUMMER FOR BENIGN SD HOSTED FOUR ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING CLASSES. FOR ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING CLASSES. WE HAD 89 POLICE OFFICERS FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT AGENCIES GO THROUGH THAT TRAINING WITH US. IF THAT'S NOT COLLABORATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. 89 OFFICERS FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT AGENCIES GO THROUGH THAT TRAINING WITH US IN OUR SCHOOLS. NOW THAT TRAINING WAS NOT A RESULT OF YOU VALIDATE. THAT TRAINING WAS SCHEDULED IN NOVEMBER OF 2021. AND WE DO THAT TRAINING EVERY SINGLE SUMMER. AND IT'S A PAIN TO PUT THE TRAINING ON AND THEY'RE SHAKING THEIR HEADS. YES, BUT I REQUIRE IT. AND THERE'S A REASON I REQUIRED. FOR JUST SUCH EVENTS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA NEED THAT. THAT TYPE OF TRAINING WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON YOUR TRAINING, RIGHT? AND THIS IS WHY WE DO IT. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT WILL SAY, WELL, IT COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY. MOST AGENCIES WILL SAY WE GO THROUGH THAT TRAINING ABOUT ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS. WE DO IT EVERY SUMMER. IT'S IMPORTANT TO US. WE HAVE NEW MANDATES, AND I'M GONNA LET MARK TALK ABOUT THAT. RIGHT SO, UM, WE RECEIVED FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY IN THE STATE TO WORK ON SOME SECURITY THINGS OVER THE SUMMER. UM AND SO SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE THINGS IN THE MEDIA THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED, BUT WE RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM THE

[01:20:02]

WE TALKED ABOUT THE DRILL CHANGES. WE'RE MAKING HIM WHEN WE'RE DOING THEM. THE STATE IS REQUIRING US TO SCHEDULE THEM, UH, THIS SUMMER FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT ARE THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM TRAINING THAT IS CHIEF SPOKE ABOUT THREAT ASSESSMENT. AND SO WHAT THAT IS THE TEAMS AROUND THE CAMPUS IS ENSURING THAT ALL OF THEIR TRAINING IS DONE PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL, YOU'RE STARTING AND THEN ACCESS CONTROL PROCEDURES. SO WHAT THAT WOULD BE IS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR EXTRA DOORS, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT, BUT ALSO OUR VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, OUR MAIN PRIVATE ENTRANCES AND ALL THOSE THINGS FOR BEND IS ALREADY HAS A VERY STRONG PROGRAM. ON THE NEXT YEAR DOORS, THE VISITOR MANAGEMENT AND THOSE TYPE THINGS, SO WE ARE IN A VERY GOOD POSITION ON THAT. AND THEN CHIEF MENTIONED OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE MEETINGS. SO WE ARE HOLDING OUR MEETING NEXT WEEK AND WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR TEAM GOING THROUGH OUR MERCY OPERATION PLANS AND THINGS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW MANDATES, UH, FORCED ON US, UM AND IT'S AND IT'S OKAY. UM I THINK OUT OF THE 1200 SOME ODD DISTRICTS IN THE STATE. WE'RE IN A PRETTY GOOD POSITION. I CAN'T IMAGINE ALL THOSE MANDATES HAVING TO BE MET BY SOME OF THE DISTRICTS IN THE STATE THAT DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES THAT WE DO. WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE. MY LAST SLIDE. UH, I JUST WANT TO TALK TO THE PARENTS. HMM.

YOU KNOW IF YOU DON'T HEAR THE PASSION. YOU DON'T HEAR THE PASSION THAT WE HAVE. TO KEEP OUR PEOPLE SAFE. WE DON'T WANT TO. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE VALUE HERE EITHER. NOBODY DOES. NOBODY DOES. AND SO WE HAVE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT WE DO, RIGHT? WE DON'T HAVE UNLIMITED FUNDS THAT WE CAN DO EVERYTHING WITH, BUT I WANT THE PARENTS TO KNOW. WE HAVE A DEDICATED SD POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE'RE HIGHLY TRAINED. OR WELL EQUIPPED AND WE'RE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT MOVING THE ENTIRE DISTRICT COME ON. YOUR KIDS WILL BE SAFER. IF YOU TOOK YOUR KIDS OUT OF THE SCHOOLS BECAUSE YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY. I WOULDN'T. I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND A SAFER DISTRICT ANYWHERE AROUND. AND I MEAN THAT. WE COLLABORATE WITH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ON EVERY NEW BUILDING. WE HAVE A SAY SO AND HOW OUR BUILDINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED, HOW THEY'RE LAID OUT WHERE CARD ACCESS GOES, WHERE CAMERAS GO. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT DOES THAT. UM WE ARE INTO RELATIONAL POLICING. IT IS NOT ABOUT TICKETS AND ARRESTS FOR US. THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE. THAT'S NOT HOW WE SURVIVE. IF ALL YOU WANT OUR TICKETS AND ARREST, YOU CAN CONTRACT OUT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE. IT'S ALL ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. AND I TELL OUR OFFICERS THAT WE HAVE AN EDUCATOR FIRST MENTALITY. AND THAT KIND OF THROWS HIM OFF. SOMETIMES. IT'S LIKE, WELL, WAIT

[01:25:01]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART TO SERVE. THAT WE ALL KNOW. YOU MEAN EVERYTHING YOU SAY IN R, ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE MHM PEOPLE I'VE COME ACROSS WITH THE MR STRICT. AND I APPRECIATE HOW MUCH YOU'VE GIVEN TO US WHAT I'VE WITNESSED OVER THE LAST YEAR WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN THREATS IN VARIOUS THINGS. YOU WERE ON POINT AND YOU DON'T STOP. AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE. ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT SERVE ALONGSIDE YOU TO AND FOR PROTECTING OUR KIDS EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT MEANS A LOT. I'M GONNA SAVE SOME OF MY COMMENTS FOR NOW AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION FROM OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. MR HAMBLETON? YES THANK YOU. KRISTEN CHIEF WRITER. JUST WANT TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE AND FOR THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT, SO YOUR COMMENT EARLIER ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT SOME THINGS IN OUR SOCIETY ARE HAVING ON PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO GO INTO THE INTO THE PROFESSION . UM BUT I'M GLAD THAT A THAT I HALFWAY DECENT FOOTBALL COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER DECIDED TO BECOME A GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE CHIEF AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THOSE HALFWAY DECENT POLICE OFFICERS TODAY ARE LOOKING IN OTHER IN OTHER DIRECTIONS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THAT WE DO NOT SHOW APPRECIATION FOR OUR POLICE OFFICERS. AND SO I JUST WANT TO CORRECT THAT AS MUCH AS I CAN RIGHT HERE AND JUST SAY THANK YOU. UM, AND JUST AS I'VE BEEN APPOINTED THE SAFETY AND SECURITY LIAISON AND JUMPED INTO THESE ISSUES WITH YOU UM I DEFINITELY FEEL SAFER THAN IN MY OWN KIDS TO PORTMAN, HONESTY, SCHOOLS, AND YOU'RE AT THE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST. WHY? AND JUST WANT TO JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID THAT YOU KNOW THE WITH THAT WE ARE STRIVING TO BE THE SAFEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN TEXAS AND IN THE COUNTRY. AND JUST ONE OF ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THAT IS YOUR YOUR HUMILITY. THERE'S THERE SINCE YOU'VE ALREADY THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING, AND I THINK WE WELCOME THAT. WE WANT TO HEAR IDEAS. WE WANT TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS. HMM AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERY SUGGESTION IS GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED. BUT JUST YOUR COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT TO WHERE WE HAVE WHAT I THINK IS ARGUABLY THE 0.1 OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST. PROGRAMS. AND DESPITE THAT YOU'RE NOT SITTING BACK AND YOU KNOW TAKEN PAT YOURSELF ON THE ON THE BACK WITH THAT YOU'RE YOU'VE GOT A COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. AND ALWAYS BEING OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND UH, I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYONE JUST AS YOU SEE, NOT ONLY ARE ORGANIZED OFFICERS BUT OFFICERS IN GENERAL TELLING THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE NEVER GETS OLD AND SHOULD NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE, SO IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US TO REJUVENATE THAT PRACTICE THAT I THINK HAS LOST A LITTLE BIT OF ITS OF ITS FERVOR IN RECENT YEARS, SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM I WILL SAY, UM, THAT WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM. UM WE IT'S NOT ME. WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM. EVERYBODY HAS TO BE BOUGHT INTO IT. YOU KNOW HOW TEAMS WORK. UM AND EVERYBODY HAS TO KNOW THEIR JOB WHEN IT'S THEIR TIME. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I WILL SAY IS OUR TEAM EXTENDS TO OTHER AGENCIES. RIGHT UM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I'VE ASKED ALL THE OTHER CHIEFS. UM AND I TOLD THE PRINCIPLES OF

[01:30:02]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BUT TO MY RIGHT I HAVE AN OFFICER TO MY LEFT. I HAVE AN OFFICER AND, UH, AND I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND WITH FOUR BEEN ASD FOR ALL OF THOSE YEARS, AND, UM I JUST AS YOU'RE SPEAKING AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS. IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. NOW. THAT WE HAD TO STOP. AND I JUST I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE SUBSTITUTE TRAINING. THERE WERE THINGS THAT IN MY BRAIN I'M THINKING. OKAY SO WHAT ARE WE DOING? AND THEN YOU GAVE IT TO ME, AND YOU GAVE IT TO US. SO ONE THING ABOUT OUR POLICE OFFICERS. I JUST WANT TO SHARE AS A. AS AN EMPLOYEE OR FORMER EMPLOYEE THAT WHEN I WAS HERE, IT WAS ALWAYS A MATTER OF HAVING PRINCIPLES HAVE SUCH A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR OFFICERS. UM BUT IT GOES BEYOND THAT. IT'S WAY BEYOND THE ADMINISTRATORS. I SIT HERE AND I SEE DR. UM I DON'T WANT TO SAY DEIDRE, BUT I SEE DR DEIDRE OUT THERE AND YOU WERE STUDENT AT WOOLRIDGE AND OFFICER. TOO SHORT. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GONNA SAY TOO SHORT. EVERYONE KNOWS HIM IS TOO SHORT. SO IF YOU ALL DON'T KNOW, OFFICER TOO SHORT, AND HE'S VERY OKAY WITH BEING CALLED TO SHORT AND SO, UM BUT I DID MY FIRST CASE WITH YOU AND OF COURSE, OFFICER WRITER. YOU KNOW OUR OUR THREE DAY UM AFTER THREE YOU MET ME IN THREE DAYS LATER. YOU WERE TAKING CARE OF ME. HE JUST GETS JUST GOT INTO THE DISTRICT. SO I'M SAYING A LOT. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO IMPORTANT AND I KNOW THAT EVERY TIME I CALL THE POLICE OFFICER IN THIS DISTRICT, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY FOR ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOARD. IT'S JUST THAT I ALWAYS GET A RESPONSE. AND I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THAT WAS PRIOR TO ANYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING. SO I AND I DO WANT TO JUST SAY THIS WITH THE RELATION RELATIONAL POWER POLICING. THAT'S FOR SURE. THAT'S TRUE. IT'S RELATIONAL. IT IS. I HAVE SEEN ALL THREE OF THESE OFFICERS IN HERE JUST TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH STUDENTS TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS THAT GAMES TO IT, AND THEY TRULY WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF, AND I'VE SEEN IT UP FRONT AND CLOSE AND I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE PRESENTATION AND MR BOARD. I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T GET YOUR LAST NAME. YES MA'AM. IT'S ROSEBURG. OKAY I'M SORRY, BUT I THINK WHAT THANK YOU. AND WELCOME TO THE TEAM. UH, THE CHIEF WRITER. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR. YOUR COMMITMENT TO FORD BAND AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO HELPING US TO BE BETTER AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE POLICE. DEPARTMENT AND TWO CHILDREN. AND THE ONE THING THAT IS, IS ULTIMATE AS A CAMPUS LEADER IS SAFETY AND SECURITY IS ALWAYS FIRST, ALWAYS BEFORE ANYTHING BEFORE EVEN EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN. SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR THE THOUGHT THAT YOU PUT INTO THE PRESENTATION TODAY AND

[01:35:06]

I'VE NEVER HELD MY KIDS BACK. I'VE NEVER TOLD MY WIFE IT'S NOT SAFE TO GO TO SCHOOL. I'VE ALWAYS FELT SAFE AND SECURE. REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE DISCUSSIONS DURING 2018 BOND? AND SAFETY WAS A BIG ISSUE BACK THEN, AND WE MADE IT A PRIORITY AND FOR URBANIZED D STEPPED UP. AND ALL THE ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURES THAT THEY PUT IN PLACE. I FELT EVEN MORE SECURE. AND I REMEMBER GOING IN ONE DAY GOING INTO OAKLAND, AND I JUST I JUST COULDN'T WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. I WAS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM. I'M GARCIA. I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR OF OAKLAND. I CAN'T EVEN WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. I HAD TO PUSH A LITTLE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE TO GET IN AND THEN THE SECURITY VESTIBULES, THE SECURITY FILM ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING. AND MY HIGH SCHOOL HAD PERFECT ATTENDANCE LAST YEAR. YOU MISSED A DAY OF SCHOOLS. REGARDLESS OF, YOU KNOW , EVERY LITTLE OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY WOULD HAVE, UH, MISS LIBERTY WAS AMAZING WITH COMMUNICATION OVER IT. BOWIE SAME THING WITH BRIAN SCHELLENBERG AMAZING WITH COMMUNICATION AND IT SOMETIMES IT'S NOT AS FAST AS WE WOULD LIKE. FOR SOME PARENTS, THEY WANT IT RIGHT AWAY. BUT YOU JUST DON'T SAY UNTIL YOU KNOW SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVICE, AND I KNOW THAT IT'S ALWAYS A MOVING TARGET. AND FOR US. THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH IS WE NEED OFFICER TO RE SCHOOL.

AND I KNOW YOU'VE MENTIONED THAT THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. BUT I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. AND ONE OF THEM BEING WHAT WOULD IT COST TO EMPLOY AN OFFICER AT EVERY SINGLE OF OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES AND HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT AND YOU ALREADY ANSWERED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO BE COORDINATED PATROL WITH OTHER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

AND I ASSUME THAT YOU ALREADY DID THAT. BUT, UM, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU CONSIDER CONTRACT DEPUTIES ME BEING ON THE FORMERLY ON THE MUD AND ON THE H AWAY. WE CONTRACT WERE NOT IN RICHMOND. UH PROPER. SO WE DO CONTRACT OUR OWN. UH FULL TIME DEPUTY THROUGH A PRECINCT. THREE STRIKES OFFICE, AND I WONDERED IF YOU'D CONSIDERED IF WE'RE EVER IN A SHORTAGE SITUATION. WE HAVE MONEY. IN THE BUDGET. WE CAN'T OBVIOUSLY FILL UP 54 POSITIONS. BUT IF YOU CONSIDER SOMETHING LIKE DOING THAT, WITH WITH THE LOCAL CONSTABLE'S OFFICE. DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ON THE COST FIRST , SO IF WE WERE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 52 POLICE OFFICERS, THAT WOULD BE 1 54 FOR EACH CAMPUS, IT WOULD BE ABOUT 3.8 TO $4 MILLION. HOWEVER ONE THING I THINK WE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT CHIEF WOULD LIKELY ALSO NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE COMMAND STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THOSE OFFICERS. THERE WOULD BE THE EQUIPMENT COST, SO THIS IS JUST THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS, BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WOULD BE. IN ADDITION, THERE WOULD BE COSTS IN ADDITION TO THAT, BUT THAT WOULD BE JUST FOR THE 54 OFFICERS. WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SUPERVISORS FOR THOSE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO BREAK THAT, UP AND ALL THE WAY UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND THE CONTRACT, DEPUTY, LET ME UM UM.

YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, AS WHEN, WHEN YOU CONTRACT OUT. SOMEBODY STILL HAS TO PAY FOR THAT, UM, SO THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CONTRACT. DEPUTY UM , AND MY CONVERSATIONS WITH, UM , SOME OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOLKS THERE ABOUT 110 PEOPLE SHORT. MHM UM SO THEY'RE NOT AS BAD OFF AS WE ARE. I MEAN, THEY'RE WORSE OFF THAN WE ARE. WE'RE NOT AS BAD OFF AS THEY ARE. BUT THEY'RE ABOUT 100 AND 10 PEOPLE SHORT. UM AND SO AGAIN, EVERYBODY IS HAVING A HARD TIME FILL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT VACANCIES. UM WHAT? I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE'VE DONE.

UM WE'VE HAD CONTRACTS IN PLACE WITH SECURITY COMPANIES. PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES, UM, WHO HAVE

[01:40:02]

AND THE KIDS WERE SITTING AGAINST THE CABINET, AND, UM IT WAS ABOUT DARK AND THE TEACHER WAS VERY CALM. THE KIDS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. THAT'S ACTUALLY PART OF BREAK MY HEART.

BECAUSE THAT MEANS THEY ARE SO LIKE TRAINED. MAYBE MANY TIMES IT'S GOOD, BUT ALSO ITS BREAK MY HEART TO WATCH THAT THE TEACHER WAS VERY CALM. HE LOCKED THE DOOR AND HE SAID THERE AND THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL. SHE'S SAD. I AM SO SCARED. SO THE TEACHER TOOK A BOOK AND HE STARTED READING THE STORIES. UM I WAS IN TEARS. BUT I CAN'T SHOW THAT, OF COURSE. SO I JUST WANT TO SEE OUR TEACHERS. AND THE POLICE OFFICERS. I REALLY THERE FOR ALL THE CHILDREN, AND I WANTED TO THE PARENTS TO KNOW. TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION AND TO SHOW THE SUPPORT TO THE TEACHERS AND THE TEACHER. SO THE KIDS ARE ASKING THE QUESTION AND ONE QUESTION STUCK IN MY HEAD.

WHILE THE BOYS, HE SAID. OKAY IF THAT SHOOTER DON'T SAY US HERE, WHY? WHERE DO YOU THINK HE CAN GO? IS HE GOING TO SHOOT THE OTHER CLASSROOM BECAUSE IF HE THINKS WE ARE NOT IN THIS CLASSROOM SO ARE THEY GOING TO SHOW THAT THE OTHER CLASSROOM I CAN'T EXPRESS MY FEELINGS RIGHT ? IT'S SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS. BUT THE TEACHERS ARE THERE. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR KIDS. REALLY? BUT THAT MOMENT I CAN GUARANTEE HE'LL THAT TEACHER WILL USE HIS BODY TO SHIELD ALL THE STUDENTS. I WAS IN THAT ROOM, I WILL SHARE THEM. THE POLICE OFFICER. I AM VERY CONFIDENT THE POLICE OFFICER WILL DO THIS THE RIGHT THING, SO I WANTED TO SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE WITH ALL THE PARENTS AND WHOEVER IS LISTENING THAT BEING SAD. I WANTED TO ASK ALL THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS WHO IS WATCHING THIS MEETING, PLEASE BE MINDFUL. PLEASE DON'T SEND THOSE YOU KNOW, FORCE THREAT. ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA. JUST TREAT IT AS A GAME. IT'S NOT A GAME, YOU'RE CAUSING A LOT OF STRESS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU'RE CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE. SO I'M ASKING THE PARENTS TO TALK TO YOUR STUDENTS, AND I'M ASKING THE STUDENTS TO THINK TWICE THREE TIMES. IF YOU NEED HELP. THERE'S HELP AVAILABLE. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. SO THAT BEING SAID, I WANT I'M GOING TO ASK CHIEF WRITER I KNOW I SEND THIS QUESTION AND PLEASE, CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE? UM THE STEPS YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE WHEN YOU

[01:45:04]

[01:50:02]

WHAT WE FOUND WAS, UM, WE HAD CAMPUSES THAT WOULD CALL IN AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE IN A LOCKDOWN WHEN THEY REALLY MEANT THEY WERE IN A LOCKOUT. THE DIFFERENCE IS A LOCKOUT MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. MAYBE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SOMETHING GOING ON . MAYBE ANOTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT IS WORKING SOMETHING . UM THERE COULD BE AN ACCIDENT OUT THERE SOMETHING WHERE WE DON'T WANT THE KIDS OUTSIDE AND SO A LOCKOUT MEANS THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS AS NORMAL INSIDE THE BUILDING, BUT ALL THE EXTERIOR DOORS REMAINED LOCKED.

NOBODY GOES IN. NOBODY GOES OUT. BUT YOU CAN STILL FUNCTION NORMALLY INSIDE THE SCHOOL. A LOCKDOWN MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING INSIDE THE SCHOOL. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GET TO A SECURE PLACE, WHICH IN OUR CASE WOULD BE OUR CLASSROOMS WITH THE WITH THE RHINO WEARS ON THERE, AND THAT WOULD BE THE LOCKDOWN. WHAT WE WERE. WHAT WE WERE FINDING WAS CAMPUSES WOULD CALL US AND SAY, HEY, WE JUST WENT INTO A LOCKDOWN WHEN THEY REALLY MEAN THEY WENT INTO A LOCKOUT.

UM AND I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY COMMON ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT WAS EASY TO GET THOSE TWO MIXED UP SO STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL. THE I LOVE YOU GUYS FOUNDATION CHANGED LOCKOUT TO SECURE BASICALLY, YOU'RE JUST SECURING THE PERIMETER OF YOUR SCHOOL. UM, WE STILL SAY SECURE LOCK OUT. AND THAT WAY BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL ASSOCIATE THE LOCKOUT HOLD IS NEW. UM JUST LIKE BART TOLD THE PRINCIPAL THIS MORNING. YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN DOING HOLD ANYWAY. NOW THERE'S JUST A NAME AND A PURPLE ICON FOR IT. SO WE'VE ALREADY CONTACTED THE PRINT SHOP OR IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A QUOTE AND PRINTING UP NEW POSTERS FOR ALL THE SCHOOLS. IN FACT, WE WERE WORKING ON THAT AT 4 30 THIS AFTERNOON. UM SO THAT WE CAN GET WE CAN GET ALL THESE NEW NEW POSTERS OUT TO THE CAMPUSES. OKAY THANK YOU. AND MY OTHER QUESTION WAS ABOUT I THINK YOU PRONOUNCED THE ACRONYM CRAZE. CRAZY TRAINING. CIVILIAN RESPONSE TO ACTIVE SHOOTER, CAN YOU CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN? WHO IS IT THAT YOUR TRAINING? TO DO THAT IS IT IS IT JUST BASED ON REQUEST FROM STAKEHOLDERS OUTSIDE OF DISTRICT. HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT WE'LL TRAIN ANYBODY. ANYBODY THAT ASKED FOR IT? WE'LL GO TALK TO HIM, UM, WHETHER IT'S IN DISTRICT STAFF. ABSOLUTELY. AND WE DO. AND WE DO AND WE TRAINED IN THAT SOME OF THEM ARE , UM, THAT'S NOT A MANDATORY TRAINING. BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WE WILL BE ASKED BY STAFF TO COME TO A STAFF MEETING AND WE'LL DO THE CRAZE TRAINING FOR THEM AND, UM AS PART OF INSTRUCTORS FOR THAT WE HAVE TO LOG ALL THE TIMES THAT THAT WE TRAIN STAFF MEMBERS SO I'LL TELL YOU DURING COVID, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT DROPPED OFF WE DIDN'T HAVE. WE DIDN'T HAVE FOLKS IN THE BUILDING AS MUCH. AND UM, BUT NOW THAT WE'RE BACK , I THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR US TO KNOCK THE DUST OFF THE TRAINING MANUAL IN AND GET BACK AFTER IT. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. SO IF THERE ARE ANY STAFF MEMBERS, ANY ADMINISTRATORS OUT THERE THAT WANT US TO COME AND DO CRAZY TRAINING. WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. OR BUSINESSES. THANK YOU. AND SO I JUST WANNA ALSO I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY, BUT THE TRANSPARENT WAY THAT YOU EXPLAINED, UM THE DIFFICULTY AND ACTUALLY HIRING 54 ELEMENTARY. UM. RESOURCE OFFICERS. I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THAT, UMS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO, AND I JUST AS A REMINDER TO PEOPLE WATCHING, UM, FORT BEND IS FORTMAN ICED TEA IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN OUR COUNTY. AND I KNOW THAT THAT THAT YOU KNOW, IT'S CHALLENGING WITH TEACHER ATTRITION AND HIRING NEW TEACHERS AND BECAUSE THINGS GET HARDER AND HARDER, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, UM THAT THE IMPLICATION OF THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND OUR RESOURCE OFFICERS, UM HAVE, UM TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND STAFF YES. UH, AN ENORMOUS UM UM. BURDEN TO BEAR AND I KNOW THAT THEY DON'T THINK OF IT AS A BURDEN, BUT, UM IT'S A VERY LARGE RESPONSIBILITY. AND

[01:55:06]

EVERYWHERE. THE FIRST THE 2010 OKAY. MY COMMENTS ARE. I'M IMPRESSED. I'M NOT EASILY IMPRESSED, BUT I'M VERY IMPRESSED. AND I'M VERY THANKFUL . UH FOR YOUR PASSION, UM I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WOULD HAVE PARENT AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SUPPOSE YOU VALIDLY HAPPENED IMPORTANT THEN. AND I TOLD THIS PARENT I CAN PROMISE YOU FOR BEING THIS NOT THE COUNTY. YOU WANT TO TRY THAT IN? YOU MENTIONED HOW YOU WORK WITH THE CONSTABLES AND THE SHARES AND YOU ALL WANT TOGETHER. THAT WAS VERY GOOD TO HEAR. ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NO LONGER PRACTICING, JUST GO TO PRISON PIPELINE. THAT YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN TICKETING STUDENTS AND, UM, LOOKING AT FILM AS REVENUE SAID YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM AS STUDENTS, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. UM, HOWEVER, I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED, UM ABOUT THE LACK OF OFFICERS WE HAVE, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT COSTS MONEY. AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST, UM, BRINGING OFFICERS INTO THE DISTRICT JUST BECAUSE WE NEED BODIES. LASTLY I WANT TO SAY YOU HAVE AN OFFICER THAT COMES BY MY HOUSE. TO BRING ME MY BOY PACKAGE. MY GRANDSON WANTS TO BE A COP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GOT THIS FROM. BUT THIS LITTLE BOY WANTS TO BE A COP. SO YOUR OFFICER CAME TO MY DOOR IN MY GRANDSON RAN UNDER THE TABLE. IN YOUR OFFICER WAS JUST LIKE, HEY, LOOK, BELLA, COME OUT, COME OUT, AND THEN I'LL MY GRANDSON WOULDN'T COME OUT. SO HE WENT TO HIS CAR. ANY GAME, MY GRANDSON OF BAD AND A PENCIL, AND TO THIS DAY, MY GRANDSON. WE'RE NOT USED TO PENCIL. WE STILL HAVE THE BADGE ATTACHED TO THE PAPER. SO I CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT, UM YOU ARE THE DISTRICT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TRYING TO BE BETTER. SO I'M GRATEFUL AND I WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ENTHUSIASTIC, BUT I'M COMING UP WITH COVID. SO I HAVE NO ENERGY , VERY LITTLE ENERGY THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND I'LL TELL YOU I'VE GOT PLENTY MORE PENCILS WHERE THAT CAME FROM. SO IF YOU NEED ANOTHER PENCIL, YOU LET ME KNOW. AND WHEN YOUR GRANDSON IS READY TO APPLY YOU LET ME KNOW.

WILL DO WILL DO. THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS. OKAY, I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FIRST. UM THE FIRST QUESTION IS SPEAKING OF OFFICERS IS HOW MANY OFFICERS DOES FORT BEND? I S D EMPLOY.

GREAT QUESTION. WHEN I STARTED IN 2010. WE HAD 42 OFFICERS. WE NOW HAVE 75 ON THE BOOKS. I THINK WE'VE GOT ABOUT 70. UM THAT ARE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED RIGHT NOW, UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE, UM, INSIGHT WE RECOMMENDED TO FOR HIGHER THIS WEEK AND WE GOT TWO RESIGNATIONS THIS WEEK, SO TWO STEPS FORWARD ONE STEP BACK. UM, THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING OUT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ALTOGETHER, OR THEY'RE GOING TO OTHER DISTRICTS THAT MAY PAY MORE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PLACES. I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS AND IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE. UM BUT WE HAVE 75 OFFICER POSITIONS. UM AND SO WE'VE WE'VE ALMOST DOUBLED NOW WHEN WE ADD HIGH SCHOOL 12 THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TWO OFFICERS THAT THEY GO TO THAT WE SHOULD ADD ANOTHER OFFICER FOR PATROL FOR FEEDER PATTERN FOR THOSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, UM, SO WE COULD BE AT 78. AND IN A YEAR THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION AND ONE OTHER POINT OF CLARIFICATION. QUESTION IS ON THE EMERGES. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR YOU MENTIONED THAT. YOU SEND THE PLANS THE OPERATION PLANS ON A THREE YEAR CYCLE. SO THE

[02:00:02]

THANK YOU, SIR. I APPRECIATE THAT. SO I JUST KIND OF WOULDN'T SHARE MY THOUGHTS AS WELL AND JUST BELIEVE SAFETY. FIRST SAFETY COMES FIRST AND THEN LEARNING AND THAT SAFETY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT THAT IT IS VERY INTENTIONAL. IT TAKES FORWARD THINKING IT TAKES DISCIPLINE AND PLANNING. AND FOR THAT, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTENTIONAL FOCUS AND FOR THE DISTRICT'S INTENTIONAL FOR FOCUS , AND FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED, UM FROM THE STUDENTS ALL THE WAY, YOU KNOW TO THE TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ALL OF YOU IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR MAKING SAFETY MATTER AND OUR KIDS MATTER. I. SPEAKING OF THE KIDS IN THE INTENTIONAL FOCUS, THERE'S ONE THING I DIDN'T HEAR IN THE PRESENTATION THAT I THINK IT'S HUGE. UM. AND THAT IF YOU COULD JUST SPEAK ON IT, SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT IT DOES TAKE EVERYONE IN THEIR INTENTIONALITY AND WE HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED SEE SOMETHING.

SAY SOMETHING. WOULD YOU MIND SHARING ABOUT THAT? AS WELL. SURE ABSOLUTELY. SO SEE SOMETHING SHARE SOMETHING IS A MOBILE REPORTING APP. IT'S AN ANONYMOUS APP, UM, THAT WAS DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR 14. I S D BY A 14 HONESTY. PARENT UM AND, UM, IT THE Q R CODE IS ON THE BACK OF EVERYBODY'S ID CARDS. UM AND WE HAVE POSTERS UP AT THE AT THE SCHOOLS AS WELL.

UM WHAT IT'S SIMILAR TO LIKE A CRIME STOPPERS WHERE PEOPLE CAN REPORT THINGS ON THEIR PHONE DIRECTLY TO US. IF THEY WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. THEY CAN. IF THEY DON'T WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. THEY CAN TELL US WHO THEY ARE, AND WE CAN REACH BACK OUT TO HIM AND ASKED FOR UPDATED INFORMATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UM, THE PROGRAM, UM IS PRETTY VALUABLE IN THE FACT THAT UM, OUR KIDS ARE ALWAYS ON THE PHONE, RIGHT? I MEAN, I'VE SAID THAT MY KIDS WILL NEVER KNOW TECHNOLOGY WORSE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR HAND. RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE ALWAYS ON THE PHONE, AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE AN APP WHERE THEY CAN, UM, REPORT SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK IS EITHER SUSPICIOUS OR ALARMING. WITHOUT BEING ON THE PHONE SAYING, HEY, I SEE SOMETHING THAT'S SUSPICIOUS OR ALARMING. AND THEN EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT REPORTED IT. RIGHT UM , SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF THE IN A NUTSHELL. THAT'S THE ELEVATOR SPEECH FOR SEE SOMETHING SHARE SOMETHING. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND FOR EVERYONE WATCHING, LISTENING, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THAT. DOWNLOAD THE APP . HAVE YOUR CHILDREN DOWNLOAD, LOAD THE APP AND JUST KIND OF REVIEW THE PROCESS BECAUSE IF YOU DO SEE SOMETHING, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING OR SHARE SOMETHING. UO

[02:05:05]

BUT FAST FORWARD 20 SOMETHING YEARS LATER, AND I MET CHURCH WALKING INTO THE CHURCH, AND I SEE THE OFFICER AT RIVER POINT MANNING THE FRONT MY HUSBAND AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER. WE LOOK AT HIM. WE LOOK BACK AT EACH OTHER. WE'RE LIKE MARTINEZ. WE REMEMBERED HIM. WHY? BECAUSE IT CARED. I WASN'T A KID WHO GOT INTO TROUBLE AND ALL OF THAT, BUT HE KNEW WHO I WAS. HE KNEW EVERYONE AT THAT SCHOOL AND SO FOR YOU OFFICERS WHO TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE'S NAMES FOR YOU TEACHERS WHO MAKE SURE KIDS FEEL VALUED PRINCIPLES . YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND I KNOW THAT THE OFFICERS HELPED CURB DISCIPLINE ISSUES BACK IN THE DAY, AND I'M SURE THEY'RE DOING IT TODAY THEY HELPED CURB VIOLENCE. THEY HELPED CURB THREATS. YOU NAME IT. AND WE DON'T. WE DON'T TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED, AND WE KNOW THAT IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND THEN FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AND OFFICER TOO SHORT OVER THERE. SAME THING. I'VE WITNESSED IT ON COUNTLESS TIMES, ESPECIALLY WITH MY OWN LITTLE BOY. AND IT MEANS SO MUCH THAT THESE KIDS, MY KIDS , THEY WANT TO CALL HIM. HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK OFFICER TOO, SHORT SAYS. AND THEY LOOK TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE BECAUSE HE'S COMING BY WITH THE BOARD PACKET OR THEY'VE SEEN HIM AT A FOOTBALL GAME OR YOU NAME IT, AND I JUST KNOW THAT YOUR INTENTIONAL FOCUS ON RELATIONAL POLICING MAKES A DIFFERENCE. AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR CANDIDNESS, THE OPENNESS THE WILLING TO SHARE AND FOR PARENTS TO HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TO BE AWARE OF ALL OF THE DILIGENT, HARD WORK. TO PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILDREN SO THEY CAN LEARN AND THEN LASTLY, MR UM, RASPBERRY AND WELCOME TO ROSEBURG. OKAY THANK YOU.

WELCOME TO FORT BEND IEST E WE WELCOME YOU AND YOUR EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU BRING AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY ONE OF THE THINGS BEFORE I BEFORE I LEAVE THE MICROPHONE BECAUSE IT'S STILL GREEN AND I CAN TALK. MY THREE MINUTES ISN'T UP YET, UM ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS. OUR FOREMAN HONESTY GRADUATES. THINK ABOUT THAT. WE HIRE. OUR STUDENTS RIGHT WHO WANT TO BE COPS? AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME BECAUSE I GREW UP IN AUSTIN AND I WENT BACK TO WORK FOR AUSTIN AMNESTY FOR 12.5 YEARS AND GAVE BACK AND WE HIRE OFFICERS THAT GRADUATED FROM FROM OUR SCHOOLS, AND I THINK THAT EVEN GIVES A DEEPER SENSE OF OWNERSHIP INTO THE SAFETY OF OUR CAMPUSES AND OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE ARE THOSE THOSE ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE, RIGHT? BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO THE EXECUTIVE TEAM. I COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT THEIR HELP AND WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT AS A BOARD. UM WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM. WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM, BUT WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT. AND SO, UM, DR DUPRE WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL. UM AND SO I APPRECIATE HIM. I APPRECIATE DR WEBB BACK. I TOLD DR WEBB BACK WHEN SHE LEFT. UH ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO. I SAID, IF YOU EVER NEED A SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE CHIEF, I'LL COME WORK FOR YOU. THAT'S THE ONLY PERSON I'VE TOLD THAT TO AND SHE CAME BACK HERE. SO THAT WAS PERFECT. UM SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO MOVE, BUT I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. WE ALL APPRECIATE OUR TEAM APPRECIATES THE SUPPORT FROM THE BOARD FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT FROM THE EXECUTIVE TEAM. Y'ALL Y'ALL MAKE WHAT WE DO EASIER. SO THANK YOU ALL. WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, WE GENUINELY APPRECIATE IT.

UM, WE HAVE OUR NEXT INFORMATION ITEM, DOCTOR WHITBECK. WOULD YOU LIKE TO INTRODUCE THAT? WELL, I THINK THAT THEY HAVE A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW, BUT A LOT OF THE INFORMATION THEY'RE SHARING TONIGHT IS TIMELY BECAUSE AS A BOARD UM YOU KNOW, IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS YOU HAVE SOME VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS TO MAKE. DO YOU NEED A RECESS? IS THAT WHAT I'M SAYING? DO YOU SHOULD YOU TAKE? I'M SO SORRY. YOU WANT PRESIDENT MALONE? YEAH. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A FIVE

[02:10:09]

[7B. Information and Discussion about Possible Bond Election and Potential Voter Approved Tax Rate Election (VATRE)]

FORTUNATELY YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF THESE SLIDES BEFORE, THOUGH. AND SO THIS IS KIND OF AN OVERVIEW.

AND SO WE'LL GO AND GET TO IT. UM A LOT OF FACTORS IMPACTING OUR BUDGET. PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH, INFLATION, LOWER STUDENT GROWTH, WE ADOPTED A BUDGET THAT HAD $47 MILLION DEFICIT IF YOU'RE NOT COUNTING USING EXTRA FUNDS. SO THIS SLIDE SHOULD LOOK FAMILIAR. THIS IS A SLIDE THAT WE USE IN TERMS OF SHOWING WHAT OUR BUDGET WAS ADOPTED USING THE 90 DAYS AS OUR GOAL WITH 27 MILLION INVESTOR TO FILL THE GAP , BUT WE STILL HAVE A DEFICIT OF ALMOST 20 MILLION IN THAT CASE.

SO WHAT ARE THE CAUSES? WE HAD THE THERE WAS A DEFICIT IN THE PRIOR YEAR SUMMIT WAS OFFSET BY BY FUND BALANCE. ALSO WITH ESTHER. WE HAD A BIG CONVERSATION ADJUSTMENT. 21 22/30 MILLION. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE. ENROLLMENT A LOT OF THESE. A LOT OF THESE POINTS HERE HAVE ADDITIONAL SLIDES, SO IT JUST KIND OF GET GET TO IT. I DON'T HAVE A SEPARATE SLIDE ON INFLATION, BUT YOU KNOW ABOUT INFLATION. SO THIS IS, HOW ARE HOW ARE SURPLUSES AND DEFICITS HAVE BEEN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS? GREEN OR GREEN IS GOOD. WE DID HAVE A YEAR ACTUALLY IN A 14 15 WHERE, INSTEAD OF ADDING TO THE FUND BALANCE, WE PUT ALMOST OVER 20 MILLION INTO A TECHNOLOGY FUND. AND SO THAT'S THE BLUE, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW THINGS WENT. YOU GOT A COUPLE OF GRAY BARS THERE FROM INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AND FEMA AND HARVEY PROCEEDS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT HAVE HELPED US BUT BUT WE DID HAVE A BAD YEAR IN 21. A LOT OF THINGS LED LED UP TO THAT. UM, SO ANYWAY, THIS DEFICIT IS KIND OF YEARS IN THE MAKING. OUR TEACHER CONVERSATION . YOU KNOW, EVEN EVEN WITH THE DEFICIT, WE DID, UH, THE BOARD DID APPROVE A TEACHER PAY RAISE . UH YOU KNOW, UM AND SO WE ARE COMPETITIVE WITH THE DISTRICT AROUND US. HOUSTON EYES D. THEY DID KIND OF LAP, EVERYBODY WITH THE 11% THEY'RE OUT THERE, BUT THEY ALSO USED ONE TIME MONEY FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, SO HOW THEY'RE GOING TO HOW THEY'RE GOING TO CLOSE THAT GAP. I'M NOT QUITE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITH THIS DISTRICT. SO ANYWAY, UM, BUT WE ARE COMPETITIVE ON OUR CONVERSATION , BUT WE WANT TO STAY COMPETITIVE IN OUR COMPENSATION . AND SO WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IS WHAT ARE THE WAYS THAT WE CAN THAT. ENROLLMENTS DEFINITELY A BIG DEAL AND WE TOOK A HIT WITH THE WITH THE PANDEMIC. YOU CAN SEE OUR KIND OF OUR ACTUAL AND PROJECTED IT'S THE RED LINE. THE GRAY IS ABOVE THAT. THOSE ARE THE ONGOING POSSUM MODERATE PROJECTIONS. AND SO WE, WE TOOK A HIT NOW.

UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE BACK UP ABOVE OUR PRE PANDEMIC LEVEL. BUT THE ENROLLMENT WAS LOWER THAN EXPECTED. BUT WE STAFF AT THE HIGHER LEVELS AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU KNOW, ATTRIBUTING TO OUR DEFICIT. ESPECIALLY EDUCATION. YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS WE WERE 6.4% NOW WE'RE APPROACHING 13% OF OUR CHILDREN THAT ARE SPECIAL. ED WE DON'T GET FULL FUNDING. YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT? UM, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT GROWTH WON'T BE TOO TOO MUCH MORE THAN NATIONAL AVERAGES AT 13. SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THIS AND WE HAVE ADDED 27 MORE POSITIONS BECAUSE OF THIS AND THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE THESE KIDS. IF WE CAN FIND THESE TEACHERS, YOU KNOW WE HAVE 27 MORE SPOTS. WE'VE SEEN THIS.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THESE ARE ALL THE PROGRAMS OVER THE NOW ADDED THROUGH YEAR END 18 THROUGH 22. YOU HAD THEM ALL UP 41 LOT OF A LOT OF PROJECTS. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDED

[02:15:07]

AH BUT WHAT THE FORMULA DOES A FORMULA DETERMINES? YES HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO GET. BUT HOW MUCH ARE PROPERTY VALUE IS AND THE FORMULA DETERMINES HOW MUCH OF IT IS LOCAL VERSUS STATE FUNDING. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STATE. OKAY UH, THE CONTROLLER WAS ACTUALLY JUST IN A FORT BEND COUNTY JUST THIS PAST THURSDAY, GIVING A PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, AND THEY PUT OUT THE PRESS RELEASE EARLIER THAT THEY INCREASE THE STATE REVENUE ESTIMATE BY 14 BILLION. YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ADD THAT TO THE ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT THEY HAD ALREADY IN THE IN THE RAINY DAY FUND OF 13 MILLION THESE NUMBERS ARE UNPRECEDENTED FOR THE STATE AT THIS TIME, OKAY , SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING INTO A SESSION WITH WITH A LOT OF CASH. NOW AT THE SAME TIME, THOUGH, THERE'S A RECESSION. OKAY? I MEAN, SOME PEOPLE SAY IT HADN'T HAPPENED YET, OR WHATEVER ELSE I MEAN, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THERE'S GONNA BE SOME AMOUNT OF RECESSION. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE STATE IS PROBABLY WELL EQUIPPED MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER 50 TO WEATHER A RECESSION, SO THAT'S GOOD FOR US, BUT IT'S STILL POTENTIAL RECESSION. SO ANYWAY, THAT THAT IT IS GOOD NEWS AT THE STATE LEVEL. UM SO I TALKED ABOUT THE YOU KNOW WHERE IT KIND OF THE MONEY FROM COMES FROM, AND SO THIS GRAPH. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN A WHILE, BUT IT'S PART

[02:20:01]

THERE WILL BE TAX RATE COMPRESSION. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND SO WE SHOULD HAVE SOME FINAL. UH FINAL NUMBERS FOR THAT THE NEXT TIME WE SEE YOU AND PROBABLY INCLUDE THAT IN THE BOARD UPDATE, SO ANYWAY, WE KNOW THAT THAT'S THE PRIORITY. THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU SAID, AND SO WHERE OPTIMISTIC BUT CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC THAT THERE WILL BE A BASIC ALLOTMENT INCREASE. OKAY BUT WITH THE BASIC ALLOTMENT INCREASE DOES COME A MANDATED SALARY INCREASE SO THERE WILL DEPEND IT'LL. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH DISCRETIONARY FUNDING WE WOULD GET IN A BASIC ALLOTMENT INCREASE. WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO PUT SOME MORE IN SAFETY SECURITY AND PROBABLY SOMETHING ON THE MANDATED SIDE. CERTAINLY FOR TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, NURSES AND, UM AND LIKE AND LIBRARIANS.

SO WITH ALL THAT GOING ON. WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE DOING? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO ELIMINATE THE DEFICIT? THERE'S A MULTIPRONGED APPROACH. IT INVOLVES BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME DETAIL UP FOR THIS UNUSED. SECOND WE GOTTA SLIDE FOR THAT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO REVIEW ALL OF OUR POSITIONS THAT ARE VACATED THROUGH ATTRITION. WE TALKED ABOUT HIM EACH WEEK WITH THE TEAM. OKAY WE NEED TO DO STRATEGIC ABANDONMENT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE. WE SAW THAT LIST OF PROGRAMS. SOME ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN OTHERS.

OKAY SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THAT. THERE'S A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW OTHER DISTRICTS ABUSED. SO ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THAT. WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO WORK HARD TO ATTRACT KIDS BACK TO OUR SCHOOLS. OKAY CHARGERS HOMESCHOOLING OVER 5000 KIDS AS THE LAST OCTOBER THAT HAVE OUR ADDRESSES THAT ARE IN CHARGERS AND OUR ACADEMIC RESULTS ARE BETTER, AND WE JUST HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF GETTING OUR WORD OUT BECAUSE WE ARE OFFERING A BETTER PRODUCT AND GOODNESS GRACIOUS AFTER THAT BRIEFING, OUR KIDS ARE SAFER, OKAY. I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT. UM WE ALSO GOT TO CREATE A PLAN TO IMPROVE CAMPUS UTILIZATION. SO YOU KNOW WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND THE LOW UTILIZATION . THERE'S A THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. AND SO THE ONLY WAY YOU JUST FROM A MATH PERSPECTIVE TO INCREASE UTILIZATION IS TO GET MORE KIDS IN OR HAVE FEWER CAMPUSES. I'D MUCH RATHER GET MORE KIDS IN AND WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THAT. OKAY BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE TO BE THINKING ABOUT A PLAN IS TO IF WE HAVE CAMPUSES THAT ARE UTILIZED. HOW ARE WE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT? I TOLD YOU BEFORE, WHENEVER IT'S SAN ANTONIO. I SEE WE CLOSED SCHOOLS WHEN I WAS THERE. VERY DIFFICULT WORK TO DO, BUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS IF YOU HAVE A PLAN WHERE THERE'S SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT THE COMMUNITY SERIES THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF SOME KIND OF CONSOLIDATION OR WHETHER IT'S A NEW FACILITY OR BETTER PROGRAMMING, UNIQUE PROGRAMMING OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. WE HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME PLANNING FOR THAT AND DOING SOME WORK TOWARDS THAT. UM AND THEN ALSO THEN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT. REALLY FOR THE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE REST OF THIS PRESENTATION IS WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO CALL A VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE ELECTION FOR NOVEMBER EIGHT FOR NOVEMBER, 8TH SO WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING FROM A SAVINGS AND STRATEGIC ABANDONMENT PERSPECTIVE? WE HAVE SAY 15.4 MILLION. WE SHOWED WE SHOWED THIS SLIDE AS PART OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS. SO YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, AND SO WE'RE AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THIS SOME OF THE DETAIL ON POSITIONS THAT WE'VE SAVED. THIS IS THROUGH THE BUDGET ADOPTION IN JUNE, BUT WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN ADDING TO IT. WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS SERVICES POSITION. MISS ESSENBERG, WHO'S GOING TO BE THE CFO AT NEED VILLE? WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE FEELING HER POSITION. YOU KNOW, I'D LOVE TO FILL THAT POSITION THAT WOULD HAVE WOULD HAVE LESS RISK ON THE PROCUREMENT SIDE. BUT WE DO HAVE A TALENTED PROCUREMENT TEAM YOU'RE GONNA YOU MAY HEAR FROM THEM SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE LATER, BUT BUT, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY HAVE WE HAVE A SERIOUS DEFICIT, AND SO WE REALLY HAVE TO BE SERIOUS IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR POSITIONS. AND JUST SO WE CAN POINT OUT WE DO FOCUS OUR STAFFING AT CAMPUSES, BUT WE DO NEED TO GET BETTER AND WE WILL TRY TO GET BETTER ON ALL OF

[02:25:05]

WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING THROUGH THAT. YOU KNOW, IN THE I T SIDE. I THINK THAT'S 1.3. IS THERE IS THERE A WAY TO IMPROVE THAT WITH SOME BETTER SYSTEMS? WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA NEED TO ADD SOME STAFF THERE, THOUGH, BECAUSE IF WE MOVE TO THE 1 TO 1 BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DEVICES OUT THERE AND KIDS BREAK THEM IN THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT GOES. BUT YOU HAVE ALL THESE THINGS AND THIS IS HOW WE THIS IS HOW THESE ARE OUR PARTIES REFLECT BIG INVESTMENT SECURITY, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE BULK OF EVERYTHING IS AT THE CAMPUSES. SO I'M GONNA TURN THIS OVER TO BRIAN, AND THEN I'LL AND THEN I'LL WRAP UP. THANK YOU, STEVE. SO STEVE MENTIONED A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT ONE OF THE OPTIONS WE HAVE TO CLOSE THE DEFICIT IS THROUGH A VOTER APPROVED TAX RATIFICATION ELECTION AND THAT ELECTION WOULD BE TRIGGERED IF WE ADOPT A TAX RATE THAT THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION TAX RATE THAT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED BY STATE STATUTE. IF THAT OCCURS, THE ELECTION HAS TO BE CONDUCTED IN ORDER TO GAIN VOTER APPROVAL ON THE TAX RATE. AND FOR THE DISTRICT IF A TAX RATE THAT EXCEEDS A DOLLAR 15.46 IS ADOPTED, THAT WILL TRIGGER THE V A. T E R E AND SO THAT RATE IS LOWER THAN OUR CURRENT RATE OF A DOLLAR. 21 OH ONE, AND THAT DECLINE IS DUE TO TAX RATE COMPRESSION. WE'VE SHARED WITH YOU PREVIOUSLY THAT THE DISTRICT HAS 11 PENNIES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE BATTERY. THOSE PENNIES ARE WORTH $62.6 MILLION OF THOSE PENNIES TO OR GOLDEN PENNIES, AND THEY'RE WORTH $19.3 MILLION , OR ABOUT 9.6 MILLION EACH. THOSE PENNIES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO RECAPTURE, SO WE'LL RECEIVE THE FULL BENEFIT OF THOSE. THE REMAINING NINE PENNIES OR COPPER PENNIES, AND THEY'RE WORTH ABOUT 43.3 MILLION. THOSE PENNIES ARE SUBJECT TO RECAPTURE OF ABOUT 370,000 PER PENNY. AND THE $43 MILLION THAT YOU SEE REFLECTED HERE IS THE NET AMOUNT THAT THE DISTRICT RECEIVES AFTER RECAPTURE. THIS REPRESENTS THE VALUE OF EACH PENNY SO YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE WE GAIN PER PENNY AND WHAT THE CORRESPONDING TAX RATE WOULD BE . WE SHARED EARLIER THAT OUR TAX RATE IS A DOLLAR 21. OH ONE, AND SO IF WE WERE TO MAINTAIN OUR TAX RATE AT THE SAME DOLLAR 21 THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 5.5 ADDITIONAL PENNIES THAT WE WOULD ADD, OR ABOUT $35 MILLION IN NEW REVENUE. AND AGAIN IF WE WERE TO TAKE THE FULL 11 PENNIES FOR THE 62.6 MILLION THAT WOULD INCREASE OUR TAX RATE BY 5.64 CENTS ABOVE OUR CURRENT RATE TO A DOLLAR 26.5. WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER THREE SCENARIOS FOR DISCUSSION THIS EVENING. THE FIRST OF 5.5 CENTS KEEPS THE TAX RATE AT THE CURRENT RATE THAT I JUST MENTIONED. THE SECOND SCENARIO RAISES A TAX RATE TO 7.5 CENTS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD COMMIT TO LOWERING THE TAX RATE ON THE DEBT SERVICE SIDE BY TWO CENTS IN THE FUTURE TO OFFSET A PORTION OF THAT INCREASE. AND THEN THE FINAL SCENARIO WOULD BE TO TAKE ALL 11 PENNIES WITH A SIMILAR COMMITMENT THAT WE WOULD REDUCE THE DEBT RATE BY TWO CENTS IN THE FUTURE TO HELP OFFSET THAT INCREASE. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS THAT THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD THAT WE COULD IMPLEMENT THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REVENUE AND THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN OUR SCENARIOS. AND I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH OF THESE IN DETAIL HERE BECAUSE WE'VE DISCUSSED SOME OF THEM PREVIOUSLY, SUCH AS THE ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION THAT WE WOULD DO TO BRING OUR TEACHERS TO $60,000 AND AUXILIARY AND PARAPROFESSIONALS TO 5. WE ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL COSTS ON OUR HEALTH BENEFITS FUN THAT WOULD LIKELY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE DISTRICT, A LONGEVITY PROGRAM THAT I'LL DISCUSS MORE IN DETAIL IN MORE DETAIL IN JUST A MOMENT AND THEN ADDITIONAL PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS . THIS COULD BE TO AREAS LIKE GT AS WELL AS CT BILINGUAL PROGRAMMING, ETCETERA. ALSO ADDING ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION BECAUSE AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, WE'VE COVERED OUR PARAPROFESSIONALS AS WELL AS OUR AUXILIARY STAFF. BUT TEACH THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, PRINCIPALS AND OTHER CAMPUS STAFF ARE NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT ADDITIONAL 5% COMPENSATION. THE LONGEVITY PROGRAM THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE DEMOGRAPHIC DROUGHT THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST AND SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED AROUND RETAINING AS WELL AS RECRUITING EMPLOYEES TO THE DISTRICT AND ALL TEACHERS AND REGULAR BENEFITS. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES WOULD BE PAID THE LONGEVITY INSTEAD OF BASED ON THEIR YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE DISTRICT. AND SO THE CURRENT THOUGHT IS WE WOULD PAY $100 FOR EACH YEAR OF SERVICE. SO AN EMPLOYEE WITH FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE WOULD RECEIVE $500.10 YEARS $1000 ETCETERA AND TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM. WE WOULD UTILIZE THE V A TEARY WAS SUCCESSFUL. WE WOULD

[02:30:01]

WHAT IT DOES DO AS IT DOES IN EACH SCENARIO IS THAT YOU ALL ARE AWARE THAT WE HAVE THREE CAMPUSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THIS FACTORS IN THE OPENING OF THOSE CAMPUSES, SO THOSE FIXED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IT ALSO TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT WE HAVE POSITIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY FUNDED OUT OF S. ER, THAT WE WOULD BE BRINGING BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THAT INCLUDES POSITIONS LIKE THE INTERVENTIONIST MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS AND IT ANALYSTS. AND SO THIS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THOSE EXPENDITURES ON THE 5.5 CENTS SCENARIO ON THE 7.5 CENTS SCENARIO, THE REASON THAT WE'VE OUTLINED THAT ONE IS THAT ONE ACTUALLY BALANCES THE BUDGET AND THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR WITH THE USE OF ESTHER, AND THAT DOES GIVE US SOME CAPACITY FOR ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES, SUCH AS THE LONGEVITY PROGRAM I MENTIONED I'M SORRY FOR SUCH AS THE COMPENSATION THAT WE'VE PROMISED AS WELL AS COVERING THOSE ADDITIONAL HEALTH CARE COSTS. AND THEN THE FINAL SCENARIO IS THE 11 CENTS SCENARIO, WHICH BALANCES THE BUDGET AND CREATES CAPACITY FOR ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES AND THE FUTURE. AND SO THE THERE WOULD BE $13.8 MILLION OF ESSAR FUNDING THAT WOULD BE FREED UP WITH THIS TAX RATE SCENARIO THAT COULD BE DIRECTED BACK INTO LEARNING LOSS AS IT WAS ATTENDED BY THE CONGRESS WHEN THEY PASS THAT, AND AS A REMINDER THOSE FUNDS ARE SET TO EXPIRE IN SEPTEMBER. 2024 IS STEVE MENTIONED SO BASED ON THOSE TAX RATES SCENARIOS THAT WE'VE OUTLINED. WHAT WE'RE SHOWING IS THAT IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE LEFT HAND COLUMN, THERE THOSE THOSE NEW EXPENDITURES THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT POTENTIALLY RECOMMENDING WHAT THOSE COSTS ARE AND THEN WHAT IT DOES TO OUR FUND BALANCE , AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IN THE 5.5 CENTS SCENARIO, REALLY THE PROMISE PAY WE CAN WE CAN COVER THE HEALTH BENEFITS WE CAN COVER AND THE LONGEVITY PAY. WE CAN COVER IN YEAR ONE. HOWEVER WHEN WE GO INTO YEAR TWO EACH IF WE ASSUME THOSE EXPENDITURES CARRY FORWARD IN EACH OF THOSE CASES, WE WOULD BE BELOW OUR 90 DAY OPERATING RESERVE REQUIREMENT AND SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS SOMEWHERE ELSE. IN THE 7.5 CENTS SCENARIO, WE'RE ABLE TO CARRY OUT THE PROMISE PAY AS WELL AS THE HEALTH BENEFITS. BUT THE LONGEVITY PAY AND ENHANCEMENTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE IMPLEMENTED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CUTS. AND THEN FINALLY, IN THE 11 CENTS SCENARIO, ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING AND THE FINAL YEAR OF THAT SCENARIO, IF WE WERE TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE OUTLINED, WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS. AND SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT IT PROVIDES CAPACITY, BUT WE WILL HAVE TO PRIORITIZE THE EXPENDITURES THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE IN THE FUTURE TO ENSURE THAT WE STAY WITHIN OUR 90 DAY FUND BALANCE REQUIREMENT. SO AS I'VE TALKED THROUGH EACH OF THESE SCENARIOS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE NOT INDICATED AS HIS USE OF FUND BALANCE, AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH EACH OF THESE, BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT MOST PEOPLE ASSOCIATE ARE FUN BALANCE WITH CASH THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO JUST FREELY USED. IT'S LIKE A CHECKING ACCOUNT OR SAVINGS ACCOUNT IF YOU IF YOU WILL, AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. TYPICALLY IN OUR DISTRICT. WE USE THAT FOR CASH MANAGEMENT BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THE MAJORITY OF OUR TAX PAYMENTS IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY OF EACH YEAR. THE CASH THAT WE RECEIVE IN THAT TIME PERIOD HAS TO SUSTAIN US INTO THE FOLLOWING YEAR WHEN THOSE TAX PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED AGAIN. AND SO, YES, WE DO HAVE A FUN BALANCE, BUT IT'S USED FOR THAT PURPOSE AS WELL AS THOSE THAT YOU SEE HERE. THE OTHER IMPORTANT ONE. I THINK TO POINT OUT IS THAT YOU'VE HEARD US SAY IN THE PAST IS THAT RATING AGENCIES LOOK TO SEE IF WE HAVE A 90 DAY OPERATING RESERVE REQUIREMENT WHEN THEY SEE THAT THEY VIEW IT AS A COMMITMENT FROM THE GOVERNING BODY AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATION THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL STABILITY. AND SO THAT RESULTS IN A HIGHER BOND RATING FOR US. AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? LOWER INTEREST RATES ON OUR DISTRICT DEBTS? SO THE INVESTORS THAT MAKE THAT BUY OUR BONDS VIEW THAT AS A POSITIVE THING,

[02:35:06]

[02:40:05]

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STUFF THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2014. AND SO HERE WE ARE IN 2022 8 YEARS LATER. THAT'S A LONG TIME FOR THIS EQUIPMENT AND SO THAT THAT KIND OF THING IS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOMETHING FOR LAND THERE RIGHT NOW. AT 1.18 BILLION, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK ON THAT TO GET DOWN TO THE TO GET DOWN TO THE 1.1. SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN THIS PUBLIC MEETING. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING ON THE 15TH WHERE WE HOPE TO BRING A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ON THE T R E WHAT PENNIES AS WELL AS THE TAX RATE. AND THEN, UM, IN THE 22ND. THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE ELECTIONS FOR THE ELECTIONS TO BE ABLE TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER.

81 THING THAT'S HAPPENING IS WELL, WE'RE JUST SEEING THE RESULTS OF THE EFFICIENCY AUDIT AND THAT STUFF THAT WE CAN. WE CAN PRESENT IT IN AUGUST. WE CAN PRESENT IN SEPTEMBER. WE CAN PRESENT IN OCTOBER. YOU KNOW, SO WE HAD WE HAD THAT THE INFORMATION, BUT BUT OVERALL, THAT'S A IT'S A. IT'S A GOOD STORY IN COMPARISON TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE ELECTION DATE IN, UH, IN NOVEMBER. 8TH SO LOT OF SLIDES TRY TO GO QUICK. BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. YOU GUYS HAVE THANK YOU, MR BASSETT. AND THANK YOU, MR GWYN FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, UM, THE BOARD NOW WE'LL OPEN THIS UP FOR DISCUSSION. MR HAMBLETON. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO JUST TO KIND OF REITERATE DUE TO THE BUDGET SHORTAGE, AND THEN THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK REGARDING INCREASING TEACHER PAY. SO I WOULD SAY IT'S FAIR TO SAY WE CANNOT TACKLE THE BUDGET SHORTAGE AND TAKE CARE OF OUR TEACHERS. WITH PROBABLY LIKELY WITHOUT THE WITHOUT THE B A. T. R. E GREG THAT THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT. IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES WILL FALL BEHIND, BECAUSE EVEN IF THE BECAUSE OF THE STATE'S TRACK RECORD, ESPECIALLY WITH INFLATION AND WHATEVER ELSE WITH BASIC ALLOTMENT ADJUSTMENT THAT WE MIGHT GET THAT WILL BE FOR ALL DISTRICTS, AND SO WE WILL WILL WILL LOSE COMPETITIVENESS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO MORE, AND WE'RE USING THAT OTHER FLEXIBILITY TO JUST KEEP OUR BUDGET HOLE. YES AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS WITH WITH HOUSTON EYES D. I BELIEVE THE ANSWER FROM THE FUNDS WERE BOTH THERE WAS A PER STUDENT. DOLLAR AMOUNT

[02:45:01]

IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY BAIT ER E WITH GOLF FOR IT. WE CAN'T EVEN MAINTAIN AH, OUR CURRENT OPERATION. IS THAT TRUE STATEMENT? WELL, WE CAN MAINTAIN THE OPERATIONS, BUT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A 90 DAY FUND BALANCE. OKAY SO AND WE'RE GONNA WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE CUTS EVENTUALLY, OR ELSE WILL REALLY START PROBABLY RUNNING INTO CASH PROBLEMS IN THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO UM, I REMEMBER LAST TIME THE PRESENTATION LIKE IF WE KEEP THE PROGRAM WE HAVE. WE DON'T ADD ANY NEW ONES. BUT THE ONES WE HAVE. AND UH, I THINK VERY SOON WE'RE GOING TO BE LODGED 90 LIKE 60, SOMETHING ANOTHER VERY SOON BECAME 40 TO FUND BALANCE. SO BASICALLY IF WE IF I'M SEEING THIS PRESENTATION, THEN I UNDERSTAND IF WE DON'T DO IF WE DON'T PASS THE WAY TRED DONE. WE HAVE TO CUT THE PROGRAMS. FOURTH I MEAN, RIGHT IN ORDER FOR WE WOULD LOOK AT WE WOULD LOOK AT STRATEGIC ABANDONMENT OF PROGRAMS GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS, KEEPING WHAT'S DOING WHAT'S MAKING THE MOST DIFFERENCE FOR KIDS. OKAY LOOKING AT WHAT THE STATE REQUIRES? BECAUSE NOT EVERY DISTRICT DOES WHAT WE DO. OKAY SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SOME WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SOME HARD DECISIONS, DEPENDING ON UM, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE STATE? WHAT KIND OF YOU KNOW BASICALLY, I MEAN, WE GET FROM THEM, IF ANY SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SOME TOUGH DECISIONS, BUT WE'D BE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE BOARD CAN HELP US WOULD HELP US DECIDE ON. SO WHEN YOU PRESENT MAYBE NEXT TIME ARE YOU GONNA BRING US THE SCENARIO LIKE IF WE DON'T PASS? WAIT ER E. WHAT WHAT THE REALITY WE'RE FACING. CAN YOU? CAN YOU BRING THAT TO US? WELL YES, WE CAN. WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. BUT WHEN YOU JUST LIKE YOU ALLUDED TO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO CLICK THROUGH 40 SOMETHING SLIDES, BUT THE SLIDE THREE FROM YOUR FROM THE FROM THE PRESENTATION AGAIN . THIS IS THIS IS NOT ASSUMING SLIDE THREE IS WHAT WE SHOWED YOU DURING THE BUDGET PRESENTATION, BECAUSE YEAH, THAT GETS DOWN IN TWO YEARS THAT GETS DOWN TO A, UH DAYS OF 18 18 DAYS . 5% YOU KNOW, SO YOU GO A YEAR BEYOND THAT, THEN THEN WE WOULD BE BANKRUPT. BUT THIS ONE THIS ONE IS ONE MAINTAIN ALL THE PROGRAMS RIGHT? RIGHT. THIS ASSUMES THIS ASSUMES NOT GOING THROUGH THIS JUST KIND OF STAYING STATUS QUO. AND SO WE KNOW WE CAN'T BE STATUS QUO AND SO WE CAN YOU KNOW WE CAN DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT THAT. YES SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAN TELL ME. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE WANT TO MAINTAIN 90 DAYS FROM THE BALANCE WITHOUT THE T R E HOW MUCH WE NEED TO CUT. THANK YOU.

MISTAKE. THE SHORT ANSWER TO THAT IS IF WE WANT TO MAINTAIN 90 DAYS IN THE FUTURE, THE AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CUT AS $47 MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND THEN AS WE CONSIDER THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING COMPENSATION WISE. THAT NUMBER GROWS IN THE FUTURE TO ABOUT 53 MILLION THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND SO ON, SO WE ALREADY KNOW TODAY. THAT THAT NUMBER IS $47 MILLION THAT WE NEED TO REDUCE. IF THERE IS NO SORRY, THANK YOU. AND ALSO I

[02:50:01]

IT'S A DOLLAR 26 INSTEAD OF $1.32 WHATEVER. SO OKAY, THAT IS CORRECT. AND UM, THE AVERAGE TAX BILL. IMPACT. WHEN WE'RE SAYING AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE, AND WE'RE SAYING $291,000 IS THAT BASED ON LAST YEAR'S ASSESSMENTS WAS THAT BASED ON THIS YEAR'S ASSESSMENTS THAT'S BASED ON THE ASSESSMENTS THAT WENT OUT EARLIER THIS YEAR FROM THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT. SO THAT REPRESENTS CURRENT VALUES AS THEY WOULD BE TAXED, OKAY. AND THAT'S AWESOME. EVEN MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MR GARCIA. MS HANNAN. THANK YOU, MRS MALONE. THANK YOU, MR BASSETT AND MR GWEN. OH, I'M SORRY. I MY ECHOING THERE. NO, NO, YOU'RE GOOD. OKAY THANK YOU. I'M JUST GETTING FEEDBACK HERE. OKAY SO I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT IF WE EXPAND ALL 11 PENNIES IF WE GO TO THE A, T R E AND WE CHOOSE UM TO USE ALL 11 PENNIES. CAN IS THERE A WAY THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE US WITH? A GENERAL LIST OF COMPARISON DISTRICTS THAT HAVE UTILIZED ALL OF THEIR PENNIES BECAUSE YOU YOU DID MENTION IN THE ANSWER THAT LOST OF DISTRICTS HAVE BUT YES. WE JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD DO THAT. YES, MA'AM, WE WE'VE ASKED PURDUE BRANDON, OUR PROPERTY TAX ATTORNEYS TO HELP US WITH THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT INFORMATION MORE HANDY THAN WE DO. WE SHOULD AND WE SHOULD HAVE THAT SOON. OKAY BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO VOTERS AS WELL. SURE NOT JUST THE BOARD MEMBERS AND ALSO AND ALSO TONIGHT. I MEAN, KATY, I S T IS HAVING THE SAME DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE OKAY. OKAY I UNDERSTAND THAT PREDICAMENT WORK IN AND UM. AGAIN. MY WORRY IS. UH HOPEFULLY NO OTHER BOARD OR ADMINISTRATION WILL BE FACING THIS KIND OF DEFICIT. BUT IF THEY DO AND IT'S VERY MUCH WORRIES ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE. RECOURSE OF USING ANY PENNIES BECAUSE THEY'RE GONE. UE PRESENTED THIS, TOO? SHOULD THE BOARD BUT FAR IS THE TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM AND IMPROVEMENT TO GT PROGRAMMING CONTINGENT ON USING. YOU BROKE UP AT THE END THERE, CONTINGENT ON USING WHAT IS IT CONTINGENT ON USING ALL 11 PENNY. WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THE THINGS THAT WE OUTLINED IN TERMS OF THE PROMISES THAT WE MADE ALREADY IN THE IN THE BUDGET THAT WAS THE FIRST ITEM WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HEALTH FUND, OR ELSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ASK THE EMPLOYEES TO PAY MORE IN PREMIUMS, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A DECISION THAT WE CAN MAKE. UH AND THEN IF WE DO THE IMPLEMENT THE LONGEVITY PLAN, UH AND THEN THE ONGOING COST OF THAT'S ANOTHER 2.2 MILLION. WE

[02:55:05]

13,000. IT'S A LOT AND SO. I WOULD ASK, UM, OUR BOARD PRESIDENT, SUPERINTENDENT. IF THERE IS A WAY THAT THE BOARD CAN RESEARCH THAT TO CREATE, UM, RESOLUTION. THAT WE WOULD, UM, ENCOURAGE CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISN'T FUNDING ARE SPENT KIDS THE WAY THEY PROMISED WHEN THEY CREATE AN IDEA. AND THAT WOULD REALLY HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS. SO A LONG WAY WITH FINDING. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN, MR BASSETT AND STRUGGLING . YES MA'AM. THANK YOU, MISS HANNAH. AND I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT. UM AND JUST IN COMMENT THAT I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE REGARDING THE FUNDING AND THAT IT IS A PRIORITY OF THIS BOARD AND MYSELF AND THAT WE ARE ALREADY WE HAVE DISCUSSED TALKING ABOUT DEFINING THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE BOARD AND THAT BEING ONE OF THEM SO YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD IF YOU WILL. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. MM MISS WILLIAMS. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY, QUICK QUESTION FOR MR BASSETT. WHEN MR BASSETT STATED THAT WE'RE GOING TO SET ASIDE MONEY FOR STAFF, INCLUDING NURSES WE JUST GAVE NURSES A BONUS. AND PART OF THAT RESOLUTION, WHICH STATED IF WE RECEIVED A BONUS, YOU WOULDN'T BE, UM ALLOWED TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL AN ADDITIONAL BONUS. I NEEDED TO KNOW IF HE COULD

[03:00:05]

BUT OF COURSE, THAT QUESTION CAME INTO BEING KEPT FROM A TEACHER AND SHE WAS CONCERNED.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL RETENTION BONUS. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT.

YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT. OKAY AND COULD YOU TELL ME THE PROGRAM IS COMING FROM ONE MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT THE DAY PROGRAM? UM NO. YOU GAVE IT A NAME MEANS THE LONGEVITY PAY. OKAY IS THAT I THINK IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO MISS WILLIAMS? EXACTLY OKAY, SO THE LONGEVITY PAY IS JUST A IS A NEW CONCEPT. YOU KNOW THAT WE CAME UP WITH IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD WE DO THAT WOULD SHOW OUR EMPLOYEES THAT WE VALUE LOYALTY WE VALUE EXPERIENCE. WE WANT TO PUT A PREMIUM ON THOSE THINGS, AND WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING IN THIS DEMOGRAPHIC DROUGHT THAT WE HAVE TO HELP RETAIN EMPLOYEES AND KEEP THEM AROUND AND MAYBE EVEN BRING HIM BACK. UH AND SO THAT'S THE POINT OF THAT. AND SO THE INITIAL THE INITIAL PAY IF WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL ELECTION WOULD BE KIND OF A CATCH UP. AH UM AMOUNT WHERE? YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY COULD GET SOMETHING FOR $100 FOR EACH YEAR OF SERVICE. AND SO THAT'S WHY THAT ONE IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE ONGOING COSTS OF ABOUT 2.2 MILLION PER YEAR AS PEOPLE REACH THOSE MILESTONE YEARS OF 5 10 15 20, ETCETERA. GOT IT, OKAY. THANK YOU, STEVE. OKAY THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS, AND I HAVE JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS MYSELF AND COMMENTS AS WELL. UM. SO ONE OF THE THINGS ON PAGE 20 REFERS TO ATTRACTING STUDENTS BACK FROM CHARTRES AND HOME SCHOOL AND THERE WAS MENTIONED EARLIER OF 5000 KIDS THAT ARE IN CHARTER SCHOOLS. SO WHAT WOULD LET'S JUST SAY I HAD A GENIE IN A BOTTLE AND 5000 KIDS SHOULD BACK UP ON OUR DOORSTEPS ON AUGUST 10TH. WHAT WOULD THAT DO TO OUR BUDGET AS FAR AS REVENUE? THAT WOULD INCREASE REVENUE ABOUT 40 45 MILLION. YEAH SO MY GENIE WOULD BASICALLY FIX OUR DEFICIT . WELL, IT'D BE A BIG A BIG CHUNK, OF COURSE. SO WITH THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ADD MORE TEACHERS. OKAY YOU KNOW, SO WHEN YOU HAVE 5000 WITH THERE'S GOING TO BE CORRESPONDING EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, BUT THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY. IT WOULDN'T SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS, BUT IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY. OKAY? WELL, I GUESS I'D BETTER START PRAYING . BUT OKAY. I WHEN I LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS, SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS 5000 KIDS, PLUS YOU KNOW THE HOMESCHOOLING AND YOU KEEP ADDING RIGHT AND THEN YOU GO TO THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND WE HAD SOME MORE THERE. WHICH WE KNOW THAT JUST INCREASES THE REVENUE AND THEN THE THING THAT I WANT TO KNOW WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE MISTAKE AND ALSO MISHAN IN BOTH KIND OF POINTED TO THAT WERE I COULD JUST CALL IT COST CUTS. UM IS WHAT WOULD A 3% 5% AND 7% COST CUT LOOK LIKE IN FORT BEND DST, MEANING WHAT WOULD IT DO TO OUR BOTTOM LINE? AND THEN WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? NOT JUST MONETARILY WITH THE BOTTOM LINE, BUT HOW DOES THAT LOOK? WHEN IT HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE DISTRICT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT THE CLASSROOM? RIGHT OKAY, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT AND I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT PERHAPS IN THE NEXT MEETING UM, UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ANSWER ON WHAT A 35 AND 7% REDUCTION WOULD LOOK LIKE SO THE $47 MILLION EQUATES TO ABOUT 6.4% OF OUR CURRENT BUDGET JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, AND SO OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW WOULD BE DRASTIC REDUCTIONS AND SO WE CAN OBVIOUSLY GO BACKWARDS FROM THAT, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A

[03:05:03]

THAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF. OF NOT HAVING A VIA TERRY. AND WHAT THAT COULD REALLY MEAN TO THE DISTRICT IN A SENSE, MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER AND A CHART. BUT WHAT IT MEANS TO STUDENT RATIO. WHAT IT MEANS TO SUPPORT WITH PARIS WHAT IT MEANS AND LOOKS LIKE WITH TRANSPORTATION. YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE THE REAL IMPACT. ON HOW THEY WOULD FEEL IT. HOW DOES IT REALLY IMPACT THEM AND THEIR CHILD? YES, MA'AM. AND FOR THAT , ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IF YOU DON'T MIND. I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT TO THAT TO THAT REQUEST, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT SCENARIOS AND BELIEVE ME, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THOSE DAILY. BUT ONE THING I WOULD JUST CAUTION. THE BOARD IS THAT AS WE LOOK AT, UH, THIS SITUATION AND WE HAVE TO GO TO SIT AND THINK THROUGH. ALL RIGHT, HOW DO WE HOW DO WE CUT 15 MORE MILLION. HOW DO WE CUT 25 MILLION. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU? A LOT OF IT BECOMES CHOICE BECAUSE WE LOOK AT WHAT? WHERE CHILDREN GROWING WHAT, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE SAY OUR STAR RESULTS AND R E O C, THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS IS IT GIVES YOU GOOSE BUMPS TO SEE IN SOME OF OUR MOST CHALLENGING AND HIGH POVERTY CAMPUSES, THE LETTER GRADES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO RECEIVE ARE HIGH. THERE THAN THEY'VE EVER HAD BECAUSE OF STUDENT GROWTH BEING A FACTOR IN THE FORMULA. SO WE HAVE ALL THESE THINGS SO WE HAVE TO DO. IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED EXERCISE TO LOOK AT WHAT IS REALLY WORKING AND WHAT MAY NOT BE NEEDED. AND SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN JUST CREATE AN THIN AIR, AND IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE CHOICES. YOU KNOW THE PROGRAMS. THERE'S AMAZING PROGRAMS HERE. EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL P TECH ACADEMIES ARE NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE THOSE THINGS OR THEY MAY HAVE ONE PIECE OF IT, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ALL OF IT AND A CT EASTERNER. WE HAVE ALL OF IT SO WHICH IS SITTING AND BRING A PLAN FORWARD AND SAY, WELL, IF WE DON'T HAVE THIS, THEN WE'LL CUT A B OR C IS

[03:10:06]

[8A. Consider approval of a budget amendment between new technology projects.]

PLEASE VOTE. YES. YES. THE MOTION PASSES 70. NEXT ITEM ITEM BE CONSIDER

[8B. Consider approval of the TEA Qualitative Method of Compliance and Flexibility Level (L3) for Campus Capital Improvement Projects.]

[03:15:01]

[8C. Consider approval of the 2022-23 Student Code of Conduct.]

YEAH, THANK YOU. SO IT'S GOT. IT'S GOT PARENTHESES WITH WITH A FEW EXAMPLES, AND IT'S JUST NOT CLEAR THAT THOSE EXAMPLES ARE MANDATORY, I GUESS IS MY QUESTION. I GUESS I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T PHRASE THAT AS A QUESTION, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. STILL ON PAGE 29. ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE BULLETS? 28 SORRY. THERE'S NO OKAY UNDER RESPONDING TO ALLEGATIONS OF BULLYING IN CYBERBULLYING. SO WHICH PART OF IT ARE YOU? I THOUGHT YOU WERE REFERRING TO SOME BULLETS. I'M SORRY. I'M NOT CLEAR ON WHAT WOULD. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE NOT CLEAR ON. SO LET'S LET'S GET SOME CLARITY, RIGHT? NOT SURE, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. IT'S A SAYS, UH, THE PARENTS OF THE ALLEGED TARGETED STUDENT AND THE ALLEGED AGGRESSORS STUDENT. THE WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A NOTICE OF STUDENT PARENT RIGHTS AND DECIDE THE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE STUDENTS SAFETY. AND THEN IT'S GOT A LIST OF FOR EXAMPLES. OKAY SO I THINK THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SO INITIALLY, WHEN I WIN, AN ALLEGATION IS REPORTED, UM, THE ADMINISTRATOR IS GOING TO GIVE THE PARENTS THE NOTICE OF RIGHTS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, BASED ON WHAT WAS REPORTED THAT ADMINISTRATIVE HAS TO DECIDE

[03:20:01]

UM I HADN'T NOTICED. THERE'S A LOT OF SORT OF REDUNDANCIES IN THE ACTUAL CODE OF CONDUCT, WHICH WHICH WHICH IS FINE FOR CLARITY'S SAKE. IN THE VERY BEGINNING, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT IT DOES SAY THAT I APPRECIATE IS THE FACT THAT IT WE DEFER TO THE EXPERTISE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CLASSROOM AND THE ADMINISTRATORS AND ANOTHER THING THAT IT SAYS THAT IT BRINGS ATTENTION TO IS THAT THIS POLICY DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE ON RACE, CREED, RELIGION. SEX GENDER ANDE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS OF THE PLANETS WERE DEFERRING TO TEACHERS, AND WE'RE SAYING THAT WE TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT. WE'RE SAYING ADMINISTRATORS, WE TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT. THIS IS THE PLAN.

AND YOU IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. AND THIS THIS IS YOUR PROCEDURES ON WHAT TO DO. AND THEN THE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ARE JUST THAT THEIR STRATEGIES. AND I READ IT AS THESE ARE SUGGESTIONS, AND I SEE THE RESTORATIVE CHAD. RESTORATIVE CONFERENCES. AND TO ME.

RESTORATIVE DISCIPLINE HAS GOTTEN A VERY, VERY BAD RAP. I DON'T THINK THAT IT WORKS VERY WELL AT ALL, EXCEPT EXCEPT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM HMM. MAYBE COULD BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS

[03:25:01]

LEVEL ONE OFFENSES ARE GOING TO BE THE LOCAL CODES. THOSE ARE THE CODES THAT FORT BEND SSD AS A DISTRICT DEFINED CHEATING IS THAT LEVEL ONE CODE. WHERE YOU HAVE THE ROCK AND HARD PLACE IS A LEVEL ONE CODE IS NON PM'S REPORTABLE. SO WE DON'T REPORT TO THE STATE THE NUMBER OF CHEATS WE DON'T REPORT THE NUMBER OF TARDIS. THOSE ARE ALL LOCAL CODES AND BECAUSE THEIR LOCAL CODES YOU CANNOT USE TEAMS REPORTABLE ACTIONS. SO IF A STUDENT CHEATS YOU CANNOT ASSIGN I S S ALWAYS SAYS, OR D AP WHICH RPM'S REPORTABLE SO WHAT? WE WHAT WE DEFINE CHEATING. AS WE SAY. THAT'S A LOCAL CODE. AND THESE ARE THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS TO HANDLE THAT IF THERE'S REPEATING AND CHEATING IF IT BECOMES A REPEATED OFFENSE, THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL SEE THAT IN SKYWARD. THEY WILL SEE THAT IN THE TEACHER REFERRAL, AND THEN IT CAN ESCALATE TO WE CALL IT AN R ONE, WHICH IS REPEATED LEVEL ONE OFFENSES. THAT'S NOW LEVEL TO WHERE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE PM'S REPORTABLE ACTIONS. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, CHEATING IS A LEVEL ONE. THAT'S

[03:30:03]

BUT THERE ARE PRACTICAL SITUATIONS WHERE STUDENT CANNOT DO SATURDAY DETENTION. OR CANNOT STAY AFTER SCHOOL. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF HOME SITUATIONS. THAT'S WHEN WE TALK TO ADMINISTRATORS AND GIVE THEM ALTERNATIVES AND, UM, THE FAILURE TO COME FLY IS A LEVEL TWO OFFENSE. NOT ONLY BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THAT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SURE. UM AND, YEAH, NOT IN FORT BNDES TEASER. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. CAN WE GIVE THE PARENTS SATURDAY DETENTION? NO, THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. AND FOR YOUR MR GARCIA. THANK YOU, MR GARCIA.

MS HANAN. YES THANK YOU. I WANT TO START ACTUALLY, BY, UM, THANKING DR WHIPPED BACK FOR GETTING US THIS DOCUMENT. UM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WITH WITH ONLY ONE BOARD MEETING, UM, LIKE MR GARCIA SAID, THIS DOCUMENT HAS EXPANDED CONSIDERABLY. UM BUT I I'M REALLY, REALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU GAVE US EXTRA TIME TO LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT. UM I WANT TO THANK STUDENT AFFAIRS, AND I ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK UM AMANDA HARTLEY AND SONIA SMITH WATSON, UM, FOR THEIR PATIENTS, UM, WITH MY FEEDBACK, AND, UM, BEING VERY, UM, THOUGHTFUL LISTENERS AND EVEN TAKING A PHONE CALL FROM ME, UM I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I KNOW I GAVE A LOT OF FEEDBACK.

UM THE CHART THAT OUTLINES, UM. UM THE INFRACTION AND THEN THIS TEACHER, UM, MANAGEMENT, UM, STRATEGY AND THEN THE STUDENT OWNERSHIP OF LEARNING. I KNOW YOU WORKED REALLY HARD ON GETTING THAT SOME CLARITY. AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT, UM, I DO REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO, UM

[03:35:06]

YOU REALLY WORK TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM OUR STAKEHOLDERS, AND I JUST I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THAT AND GETTING FEEDBACK ON WHAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR. UM AND. I DID READ THIS FOUR TIMES. AND SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU I MISSED THE PART. ABOUT THE ATHLETIC WEAR. THAT REQUIRES A SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR. AND WHEN I READ IT, AND I THOUGHT, HOW DID I MISS THAT? BECAUSE I THOUGHT BACK TO THE YOUNG GIRL THAT WAS A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT IN NOVEMBER, AND SHE PRESENTED TO US, UM UM. YOU KNOW, SHE SHE WAS SHE WAS MODELING WHAT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE IN THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE. SHE STOOD THERE AND HAD A COURAGEOUS CONVERSATION, SAYING I HAD TO GO BUY A NEW SHIRTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHIRTS THAT WENT ALL THE WAY BELOW MY BOTTOM. AND SO WHEN I READ THIS, AND I THOUGHT AND I ASK YOU AND I SAID, SO. WHY NO OTHER FORM FITTING CLOTHING LIKE A SKIRT OR JEANS REQUIRE A SHIRT THAT GOES BELOW THE POSTERIOR.

AND THE ANSWER. YOU GAVE THEM. SO SORRY. THE ANSWER YOU GAVE WAS ABOUT SHEER NOUS. AND SO I'M GOING TO PROPOSE TO THE BOARD. UM THAT. WE STRIKE ON PAGE 16. WE STRIKE THE WORDS THAT SAY. UM AND IF YOU WANT ME TO READ IT IN FULL, I WILL. BUT IT'S ON PAGE 16 OF THE STUDENT DRESS CODE ABOVE THE IMAGE. IF YOU HAVE THE LITTLE IMAGE THERE. YES, MA'AM, I'M WITH YOU. ON ATHLETIC WEAR.

IF WE COULD SIMPLY STRIKE ARE WORN WITH A SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR. ON THAT BULLET, AND THE RATIONALE IS BECAUSE IF IT'S SHEER NOUS, IT ADDRESSES IT IN THIS ITEM, SAYING THAT THEY DO NOT REVEAL UNDERGARMENTS AND ON PAGE 16. OR NO, I'M SORRY ON PAGE 17. IT ALSO STATE NO REVEALING CLOTHING OF ANY TYPE. MAYBE WARD AND SO THAT IS, UM, I AGAIN. I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK AND I KNOW WORDSMITHING THINGS IN A BOARD MEETING. IT'S NOT IDEAL, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT CATCHING THAT ON THE FIRST THREE READS. BUT IF WE COULD STRIKE ARE WORN WITH THE SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR, UM. I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO OUR STUDENTS. YES, MA'AM, WILL DO. EXACTLY. SO I'M ALONE 16 PAGE 16 THE BULLET FOR ATHLETIC WEAR? YES SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF MR BRUSHES THERE. I CAN'T SEE WHO THE ATTORNEY IS, UM, I BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE MOTION. YES, FLOOR. SO ON PAGE 16 BULLET ITEM NUMBER THREE. WE WILL STRIKE THE WORDING. ARE WORN WITH A SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR WILL STRIKE AT THAT FROM THE BULLETED ITEM ON PAGE 16. IS THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED THAN IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND. THE PENDING MOTION. MHM YEAH, MISS HANNON. WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR MR BRUSH THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER MOTION WITH THAT AMENDMENT? DO YOU WANT TO WAIT TO DO THAT UNTIL WE HOW ABOUT WE WAIT UNTIL WE FINISH DISCUSSION WITH EVERYONE? ABSOLUTELY MAYBE MORE. WHO KNOWS? UH, DR GILLIAM. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? MY COMMENT IS THANK YOU. I REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHEN WE REVIEWED THAT THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT THERE WAS A LOT OF GOOD GOOD THINGS AND THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED. AND, UM I JUST APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING VERY PATIENT I'M GONNA SAY WITH WITH ALL OF US AND ASKING QUESTIONS.

BUT REALLY LISTENING AND GETTING TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS DOCUMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DR GILLIAM. MISS WILLIAMS. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? QUESTION ABOUT THE TARDIS BEING A LEVEL ONE. I

[03:40:07]

STUDENT IS 20 MINUTES ABSENT. THAT'S IT'S CONSIDERED WHAT. IT SAVED ME. A STUDENT MISSES MORE THAN 20 MINUTES OF CLASS. THEN THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ABSENT. RIGHT BUT IF IT'S LESS THAN THAT, IT'S JUST A PARTY. YES, MA'AM. RIGHT AND YOU KNOW MY HISTORY. YOU KNOW MY PAIN AND I APPRECIATE YOU. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. MISS HARVEY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE INTERESTED IN AFFAIRS. OKAY THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. THEY MISS DAY. HI THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS . THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PHONE CALL THIS AFTERNOON AND I KNOW WE WERE ON THE PHONE FOR QUITE A WHILE. UM SO FOR ME, THOUGH, UM I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK. I THINK I MENTIONED DURING THE PHONE CALL, AND I DO SEE THE BIG IMPROVEMENT WE HAVE THIS YEAR COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. AND THANK YOU TO DR WAY BACK, UM, AND THE TEAM PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, BUT I DO. I WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF MY CONCERNS THE FIRST CONCERN.

TO BE HONEST, I REALLY WISH WE HAVE TWO VERSIONS OF CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THE SECONDARIES SCHOOL STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY EXPECTATIONS, UM, ARE DIFFERENT . AND THEN, UM, I THINK CERTAIN THINGS THAT DISCIPLINE YOU KNOW HOW WAY APPROACH THE STUDENT UH, ALSO DIFFERENT. UH ONE CUP WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND THE SECONDARY STUDENTS. SO THAT BEING SAD. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON THE PHONE FOR A LONG TIME. UM THE REASON I THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME ARE THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BECAUSE I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM IS BEYOND THE CAMPUS IS BEYOND THE FOUR MEN S D BECAUSE HOW DO WE TEACH THE STUDENT? UM IT'S A FACT THE COMMUNITY AND THE SOCIETY BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY

[03:45:09]

I WANT TO ALSO BRING BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I CAN I CAN DISCUSS WITH THE BOARD SO CHEATING. I JUST USE THE CHEATING AS WELL AS MR GARCIA, BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL INTEGRITY IS VERY IMPORTANT THING FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND IT'S JUST LIKE DR EVEN DR WAY BACK FOR THE THIS YEAR AT THE GRADUATION IF YOU HAVE A BETTER WAY IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE GRADUATION DOCTOR REEBOK SPEECH, PLEASE DO SO. UM SO IT'S A GREAT SPEECH, AND IT'S EMPHASIZING INTEGRITY. SO FOR ME MY QUESTION IS THIS. SO YOU EXPLAINED JUST TO. AH MR GARCIA. THE CHEATING IS LEVEL ONE OFFENSE RIGHT SO AND WHEN THE STUDENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, I UNDERSTAND. FOR EXAMPLE, THE STUDENT HIGH SCHOOL I'M TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HAVE A CHEATING IN CHEMISTRY, SO THE TEACHER WILL PUT IT IN IN THE SKYWARD, RIGHT ? AND THEN THE STUDENTS. CHEATED AGAIN IN PHYSICS. THE PHYSICS TEACHER WILL SAY THAT IT'S ALREADY THERE, SO THAT'S REPEAT BEHAVIOR LIKE CHEATING BEHAVIOR . MY QUESTION WILL BE SO HOW MANY TIMES THE STUDENTS CHEATED . WE'LL MAKE THE OFFENSE FROM LEVEL ONE TO LEVEL TWO. SO I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO WHERE MR GARCIA POINTED OUT. WE LOOK AT THE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE TEACHER.

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IF I'M A MATH TEACHER AND A STUDENT HAS CHEATED IN MY CLASS. I COULD ENTER THAT INTO TWO SKYWARD AS A TEACHER REFERRAL. THEN HE GOES TO PHYSICS. HE CHEATED PHYSICS, THE PHYSICS TEACHER INTEREST THAT IN DISCOVERED AS A TEACHER REFERRAL. THOSE TWO REFERRALS GO TO ONE ADMINISTRATOR WHO CONVERTS THE CODES TO THE CHEATING CODE. SO IT WOULD BE THE ADMINISTRATOR THAT WOULD SEE THE PATTERN OF CHEATING. THEN IT WOULD BE THE ADMINISTRATOR THAT LOOKS AT THE MENU OF CHOICES TO SAY THIS IS HOW I CHOOSE TO, UH, PUT A CONSEQUENCE ON THAT STUDENT. THE SAME TOKEN, IF I'M THE MATH TEACHER AND I PUT IN THAT TEACHER REFERRAL, IT'S UP TO ME AS THE OWNER OF MY CLASSROOM TO DO SOME BEHAVIOR TECHNIQUES AND TO DISCUSS WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES MIGHT BE, SO LET'S TAKE IT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND LET'S MOVE IT DOWN TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER. AND A LITTLE FIRST GRADER LOOKS AT THE PAPER NEXT TO ME, AND WHEN WE'RE DOING A SPELLING LIST YOU KNOW. AM I GONNA WANNA GIVE THAT STUDENT S S GIVE THAT STUDENT ZERO SO WE ENABLE THE TEACHER AND EMPOWER THE TEACHER. YOU CAN HANDLE THAT IN YOUR CLASSROOM BY TALKING AND TEACHING THAT FIRST GRADER ABOUT APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AND THEN GIVING A CONSEQUENCE THAT YOU BELIEVE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THAT STUDENT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? HE DOES, ACTUALLY. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY UM I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE NOW WE CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE. WE'RE TREATING THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND ALSO THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RIGHT? THAT BEING SAID , THAT'S WHY IT BRING MY BRING BACK MY POINT. I WISH WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF THINGS GOING TO BE THE SAME, BUT I'M JUST SAYING, I IF I'M A PARENT

[03:50:04]

SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A VERY CLEAR GUIDELINE. MY THINKING IS. IF A STUDENT IN CLASSROOM A ON CAMPUS A DO SUCH A THING? AND THEN THE TEACHER DECIDED TO WRITE IT UP. AND THEN THE STUDENT BE ON CAMPUS B. THAT THE STUDENTS, YOU KNOW THIS? THIS IS THE SAME THING. BUT THE TEACHER DECIDED NOT TO WILL CREATE TWO DIFFERENT CULTURE AND TWO DIFFERENT CAMPUS. AND THEN THE PARENTS.

HMM I MEAN, IT'S MORE FULLY THAN THAN IN THIS SCENARIO I'M TALKING ABOUT. MAYBE IT'S MORE BULLIED THAN CHEATING, THEN WILL COST A LOT OF BULLY ON ONE COMPASS THAN THE OTHER BECAUSE WE TOLERATE MORE. SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT AS I SAID, OUR DEPARTMENT IS VERY FOCUSED ON EQUITY AND DISCIPLINE. AND WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING TEACHING CALIBRATION CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. CLASSROOM TO CLASSROOM TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE OF ONE CAMPUS THAT DOING IT LIKE THIS AND ONE CAMPUS DOING IT LIKE THAT. BUT WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND INDIVIDUAL BACKGROUNDS AND CONTEXT, THERE HAS TO BE SOME, UH MOLDING OF THE BOX. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS JUST SAY IT'S THIS AND THAT'S IT. IT'S THEREFORE IT'S THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK IN. THIS STATE PROVIDES US WITH SOME EXCUSE ME, CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE EVEN LISTED ON PAGE 41 THAT THAT ADMINISTRATORS HAVE TO HAVE WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THE DECISIONS FOR DISCIPLINE. SO I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING . AND I DO UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL FOR, UM YOU KNOW THAT THE DIFFERENCES THAT DISCREPANCIES IN THE CONSEQUENCES THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IS A CALIBRATION TOOL, WORKING WITH SCENARIOS AND TALKING WITH ADMINISTRATORS. BUT FOR US AN EMPHASIS MUST BE PLACED ON CONSIDERATION OF STUDENTS. THE HUMAN BEINGS STUDENT AND WHERE ONE STUDENT, I'LL TELL YOU AN EXAMPLE. SOME LITTLE FIRST GRADER IS STEALING FOOD AND THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, ROBBERY OR THEFT. BUT IF THAT'S A FOSTER STUDENT WHO HAS A HAS A HISTORY OF NOT GETTING FED? DO WE REALLY WANT TO PUNISH THAT STUDENT? OR DO WE WANT TO TALK TO THAT STUDENT PROVIDE COUNSELING, SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH INDIVIDUAL. UM STUDENT THE EXPECTATION OF BEHAVIOR. IS THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD, SO WE EXPECT ALL STUDENTS DO NOT STEAL . WE EXPECT ALL STUDENTS TO LIVE TO THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE. IF YOU FALL SHORT OF THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO THE BEHAVIOR THAT YOU CHOSE. THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT IS SCRIPTED AND WHAT IS PRESCRIPTIVE. TO THE STUDENTS SITUATION. I TOTALLY AGREE AND I SEE THE YOUR POINT. BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE FOR 30 STUDENTS, I KNOW A LOT OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THEY SOMETIMES THEY HAVE. THEY HAVE WORK EVEN BEFORE THEY NEED TO GO. THEY CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL. UM SO I TOTALLY SAY THAT PERSPECTIVE BUT ALSO, BUT THE MESSAGE I WANTED TO SET I MEAN, I WANTED TO ASK YOU BECAUSE I

[03:55:01]

ABSOLUTELY. THAT BEING SAID I WANTED TO KNOW. UM IF THERE'S WAYS WE CAN SEND THE CLEAR MESSAGE TO CAMPUS TO THE TEACHERS TO THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS SCENE, FOR EXAMPLE, SING THE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT 80 YEARS OR TWO IS A REFERENCE. IT'S NOT MANDATORY, OKAY, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY HAVE TO DO. THAT'S ONE THING UNDER THE CHEATING, BRING BACK TO CHILLING FOR CHEATING. IT'S SOMETHING WE FOR HIGH SCHOOL. I'M TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THEY ARE GOING TO FACE SOME KIND OF CONSEQUENCES. THEY ARE. IT'S NOT JUST SAYING, OKAY , YOU KNOW, WE TALKED TO YOU AND I WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER PROJECT . NO, WE NEED TO WAIT. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN ENFORCE THAT. OR HOW CAN YOU PASS DOWN THAT MESSAGE, BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO TELL THE TEACHER WOULD TRUST THEM AND THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING. I TRUST THEM. MOST OF OUR TEACHER WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY WILL PUT ALL THOSE SECURITY INDIVIDUAL SITUATION INTO CONSIDERATION. I HAVE I HAVE AVERAGE, YOU KNOW, TRUST ME. ALL THE TEACHERS ARE THERE. BUT I THE SAME TIME, THOUGH ANOTHER THING IS, I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD THIS REPORT RIGHT FROM EACH CAMPUS. I STILL REMEMBER. I ASKED SOME QUESTIONS . UM SO SOME CAMPUS, UM, PRINCIPLE. WHEN WHEN? WHEN MR GARCIA ATTACH ON THIS, TOO, WHEN THEY LOOK AT THEIR NUMBERS, THEIR LEVEL THREE LEVEL FOUR LEVEL TWO, YOU KNOW, NUMBERS GOING UP, AND THEN THEY START CONCERNING, RIGHT. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THEIR POSITION.

EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR CAMPUS TO BE A GOOD CAMPUS. AND THEN THEY WAS WHAT? WHAT? HOW CAN WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, NOT PUSHING BACK ON TEACHERS BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL PUT PRESSURE ON THE TEACHERS AND ASK THEM NOT TO PUT IT IN THE SYSTEM. THE SKYWARD ALL REMOVE IT, RIGHT. SO HOW CAN'T WE DO THAT TO HELP THE TEACHERS SO THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB? THIS DAY. I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD AFTER OUR PHONE CONVERSATION, AND OUR TEAM HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS. AND, UM, THIS IS HOW I CAN ANSWER YOU. SO AS I RESPONDED THE LAST BOARD MEETING WHEN YOU WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WE DON'T BELIEVE IN HIDING NUMBERS. OUR DEPARTMENT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HIDING NUMBERS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THERE ARE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT FEEL THE SAME WAY. AND WHEN WE SEE ESCALATING NUMBERS IT IS ABOUT PROVIDING THE TEACHER ADMINISTRATOR, THE CAMPUS THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED TO IMPROVE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT IN THE CLASSROOM. WE HAVE INVESTED QUITE A BIT OF TRAINING IN P B. I S WITH SOME PHENOMENAL TRAINERS AND A DEPARTMENT THAT IS WONDERFUL. WE'VE DEVELOPED BEHAVIOR FRAMEWORKS THAT WE HAVE LABELED AS TIGHT TIGHT SO WE STARTED THE YEAR TYPE AND WE END THE YEAR TYPE SO THAT THERE'S CONSISTENCY ALL AROUND. UM WE HAVE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS THAT WORK DIRECTLY WITH PRINCIPLES AT THE CAMPUS, LOOKING AT NUMBERS AND AGAIN WITH THE PERSPECTIVE OF PROVIDING SUPPORT. THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN ARE ABOUT, UM HELPING CAMPUSES SUPPORTING CAMPUSES AND IMPROVING THE DISCIPLINE TO IMPROVE THE INSTRUCTION AND IT GOES HAND IN HAND. UM DISCIPLINE WILL LESSEN WHEN INSTRUCTION AND IN STUDENT ENGAGEMENT INCREASES. IT GOES HAND IN HAND. ATTENDANCE WILL INCREASE WHEN LESSONS AND, UM CLASSROOMS ARE ENGAGING. SO IT ALL GOES HAND IN HAND, SO WE'VE INVESTED A LOT IN THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. THE TRAINING SYSTEM, PROVIDING TEACHERS WITH TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS, SO THEY'RE NOT LEFT ALONE. UM THEY ARE

YES YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING . SO I THINK I MADE MY MESSAGE. COULD LOUD AND CLEAR SO BACK IS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I LOVE HER, BUT I'M STILL HOLDING HER ACCOUNTABLE. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU JUST WANT TO SAY TO JUST THE POWER AND RELATIONSHIPS AND WE'VE HEARD THAT A LOT TONIGHT.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE PARENTS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ALL OF US AS A FORD BEEN DYNASTY FAMILY TO REALLY ADDRESS DISCIPLINE WE CAN HOLD. WE HAVE TIGHTENED. WE TALKED ABOUT IT THIS MORNING WITH PRINCIPLES WE EXPECT TO START EXTREMELY TIGHT AND FINISH THIS EXTREMELY TIGHT, BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS AND ALL OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS. TO REALLY, UH ENFORCES. THAT'S WHY WE CO CONSTRUCTED THIS DOCUMENT IN THE MANNER THAT WE DID SO THAT WE HAD SHARED OWNERSHIP AND SHARED UNDERSTANDING AND SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. SO I AM OUR PLAY TO THE PUBLIC IS, LET'S CONTINUE TO LOCK ARMS TOGETHER AND PROVIDE THE BEST SUPPORTS FOR OUR STUDENTS TOGETHER. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. TO BE HONEST, I HOPE WE HAVE A PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT. TO BE HONEST. MAYBE WE ARE STUDENT AFFAIRS. I KNOW RIGHT SO AGAIN. I KNOW JUDITH 100. YEAH. OKAY NO, I MEAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH, BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. I DO BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF EDUCATION STARTS FROM HOME. I JUST WANT TO THIS. USE THIS AS A REMINDER TO OTHER PARENTS ARE THERE PLEASE HELP US. THANK YOU . THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS DANE, AND I GUESS I WILL HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. BUT WE'VE HAD PRETTY LENGTHY DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY AND THEIR DISCUSSION AND FOR THE PARTICIPATION SO I HAVE ONE QUESTION, LORD, THAT WORD QUESTION. UM AND IT AND REALLY KIND OF MISS WATSON. YOU STARTED TO TOUCH ON EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT, WHICH IS THE PARENTS AND ALL WORKING TOGETHER. AND HERE'S MY QUESTION WHEN I HEAR THE LEVEL ONES AND THAT A KID MAY HAVE A LEVEL ONE AND SEVERAL CLASSES HOW DOES THAT WORK AND FORTMAN SD WITH ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE TO ME, I'M THINKING WE MAY HAVE A KID ACTING OUT OR WHO'S TROUBLED WHERE WE COULD INTERVENE EARLIER , SO IT DOESN'T BECOME LEVEL TWO LEVEL THREE, ETCETERA. SO WHAT KINDS OF PROCESSES DO WE HAVE IN PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT ADDRESS THAT CHILD? WHO'S JUST MAYBE TROUBLED RIGHT NOW OR WE DIDN'T SEE A PATTERN. COULD YOU GO INTO THAT? SO THAT'S EXACTLY , UM, A GREAT QUESTION. WHY WE PUT THE WORKED WITH THE SCL DEPARTMENT TO CREATE THOSE INTERVENTION STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE A PLEA FOR HELP AND KIND OF JUST CONSEQUENCES AND PUNITIVE MEASURES MAY NOT HELP. SO IF WE TRACK THE DATA, WHAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING THROUGH THE P B, I S TEAMS IS REALLY CALIBRATING AND PULLING THE DATA AND REALLY BEING GOOD STORY.

RATES OF SIFTING THROUGH THE DATA TO SEE TRENDS OF STUDENTS THAT MAY HAVE, YOU KNOW TWO OR THREE OFFENSES AND OBVIOUSLY, THAT CONSEQUENCE ISN'T WORKING. SO THEN LOOKING AT WORKING WITH THE COUNSELORS WORKING WITH THE PARENTS TO SEE ARE THEIR RESOURCES ARE THERE DO WE NEED TO MAKE A REFERRAL WITH THAT CRY FOR HELP THAT COULD HELP DETER SOME OF THAT MISCONDUCT, BUT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO US. REALLY SIFTING AND LOOKING AT THE DATE OF FIRST TO SEE WHICH KIDS ARE

[04:05:07]

MS HANNAN CLARIFY TRUSTEE. HENAN SHOULD MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND. IF SECONDED, THE BOARD WILL HAVE DISCUSSION TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BOARD WISHES TO DISCUSS THE MOTION TO AMEND. IF THE MOTION TO AMEND PASSES, THE BOARD WILL THEN PROCEED TO CONSIDER THE MOTION AS AMENDED, SO THERE WILL BE POTENTIALLY TWO VOTES, ONE TO AMEND ONE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE OF THE AMENDED MOTION. AND THE MOTION TO AMEND SHOULD MAKE SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THE PAGES AND WORD CHANGES FOR CLARITY. MS HANNAN. I ACTUALLY HAVE THE WORDS HERE IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH ME READING.

JUST GO RIGHT AHEAD. DR GILLIAM. OKAY ALRIGHTY WOULD BE FANTASTIC . MADAM CHAIRMAN, I MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED BY STRIKING OUT THE FOLLOWING WORDS IN THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT, AND THAT WOULD BE ARE WORN WITH A SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION TO AMEND THE MAIN MOTION BY STRIKING ARE WORN WITH A SHIRT THAT COVERS THE POSTERIOR. IN A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? MR GARCIA. SO ARE WE SAYING THAT GIRLS IF

[04:10:07]

AND EXPOSE THEIR BOTTOMS LIKE A SHORT, SHORTER SHORTENED THAT A SHIRT THAT COVERS THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING THAT THEY CAN WALK AROUND AND CLOSED LIKE THAT, AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. I THINK WE'RE SAYING THAT A GIRL COULD WEAR A PAIR OF YOUR FITTED YOGA PANTS. AND WHERE A T SHIRT OR A SHIRT THAT CAME TO MAYBE HER WAIST SO LONG AS THE YOGA PANTS WERE NOT SHEER IN ANY UNDERGARMENTS WERE VISIBLE. THANK YOU. I WILL SUPPORT WHATEVER THE BOARD ONCE , BUT I AM GOING TO JUST GIVE MY INPUT THAT HAVING BEEN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL , I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS AS SIMPLY DO NOT. I THINK IT'S GOING TO LEAD TO. UM IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HARD FOR THE PRINCIPLES WITH THE MEETING AT THE TOP OF THE PANT AND THE BOTTOM OF THE TOP AND AH, THEY'RE VERY TIGHT. UM BUT YOU KNOW IF THIS IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD THAN YOU KNOW, WE'LL CERTAINLY MONITOR IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND GIVE YOU FEEDBACK AS WE CONSIDER THE CODE OF CONDUCT NEXT YEAR, BUT BUT I'M JUST I DO. I AM JUST VERY CAUTIOUS OF THIS. AND I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, UM I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS. OKAY, UM. SINCE WE'RE HAVING DISCUSSION I ACTUALLY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM STUDENT AFFAIRS AND WHAT YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS ON THE SHIRT COVERING THE POSTERIOR. AND, UH , WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, ON ON THE GROUND WITH CAMPUSES, I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH DR WHITBECK BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES CAN BE A DISTRACTION. STUDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE SELF AWARE OF THEIR BODIES, SOMETIMES MORE HORMONAL AT A CERTAIN AGE AND AS WE'RE TEACHING APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR, SOMETIMES THAT IS DISRUPTIVE TO THE TO THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. WE GET TO THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING A LOT OF VIDEOS. AND STUDENT AFFAIRS OF MISCONDUCT, AND SOMETIMES IT COMES FROM INAPPROPRIATE TOUCH, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WHEN WE INVESTIGATED WELL, I LIKED WHAT I SAW, AND THEN IT LEADS TO MORE SEVERE ISSUES THAT COULD BECOME TITLE NINE, SO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT OFTENTIMES YOGA PANTS HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS AND SOMETIMES WHAT IS APPROPRIATE WHAT SOMEONE THINKS IS APPROPRIATE AT HOME MAY DIFFER FROM WHAT WE FEEL IS APPROPRIATE SCHOOL. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE ITEMS AND IT I THINK THAT IT WILL JUST IMPOSE MORE STRESS TO THE CAMPUS AND THE ADMINISTRATORS. OKAY. THAT'S FAIR, MR HAMBLETON. UM SO I THINK LEAVING THE LAST SECTION COVER SOME OF THAT CONCERN, BUT I, BUT I GUESS THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH IT BEING MORE SUBJECTIVE.

SO UH, SO OR ARE DISRUPTIVE TO THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. WOULD COVER THOSE CONCERNS. BUT THAT'S DISRUPTIVE TO THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. EASIER TO DISPUTE HARDER TO DEFEND, I GUESS, WHEREAS THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE STANDARD OF DOES IT COVER OR DOES IT NOT COVER YEAH. MISTAKE DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I JUST FEEL LIKE I'LL TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT. THANK YOU. MRS MALONE. I HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT, PLEASE. YES, MS HANAN, GO AHEAD. SO I WANT TO COMMENT AS SOMEONE WHO HAS A CHILD IN HIGH SCHOOL AND JUST AS AN OBSERVER. I UNDERSTAD THAT BUT I HAVE DROP MY KID OFF FOR TWO YEARS AND WATCHED KIDS GO IN THE BUILDING AND WHAT THEY WEAR. AND THE ISSUE I HAVE ON THIS IS IT LARGELY IMPACTS ARE FEMALE POPULATION. A CHILD COULD WEAR A CARE OF. SLACKS THAT ARE JUST AS TIGHT AS A PAIR OF YOGA PANTS WITH THEIR SHIRT TUCKED IN, AND THAT WOULD BE OKAY. UM OR JEANS OR A VERY TIGHT SKIRT AS LONG AS IT GOES DOWN TO MID THIGH, AND SO, UM, I THINK BACK IT WAS THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS BECAUSE I WORKED IN THE DISTRICT AND I REMEMBER A GIRL AT CLEMENTS HIGH SCHOOL WAS SUSPENDED BECAUSE SHE HAD PINK HAIR. AND SO I THINK THAT THIS IS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOU KNOW, THE LATE SIXTIES AND

[04:15:02]

AND CALL ME OLD FASHIONED, BUT IT'S JUST CERTAIN WAY A YOUNG LADY SHOULD LOOK COMING TO SCHOOL AND WHEN WE HAVE GIRLS THAT YOU SEE MORE OF THEIR THEIR BODY INSTEAD OF THEIR FACE WALKING IN THE BUILDING. IS A CONCERN. WE'VE HAD INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS, UM, MORE DISCIPLINED AND THEN YOU IF THAT PARTICULAR STUDENT HAS A MAIL ADMINISTRATOR , THEY CAN'T YOU KNOW, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. YOU HAVE TO FIND A FEMALE AND SO IT DOES TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND LIKE MENTIONED BEFORE THERE ARE SO MANY THERE'S DIFFERENT MATERIALS ON WHAT LEGGINGS AND JEGGINGS OR MAY FROM AND AS IT GETS WARMER. THEY GET THE MATERIAL GETS THINNER.

UM. THEY SAY. OKAY I DIDN'T GET CAUGHT THIS WEEK. AND NOW IS THE SHIRT MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. AND SO I JUST WANT TO CAUTION THAT IT JUST CAUSES A LOT. UM OF PROBLEMS WHEN, WHEN A TOO MUCH IS BEING EXPOSED TO A FEMALE STUDENT ON THE CAMPUS, AND I WAS A PRINCIPAL AT LIKE OLYMPIA FOR THREE YEARS, AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT DRESS CODE. UM AND SOME OF THOSE ISSUES OF STUDENTS BEING TEASED OR INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING WAS LED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WERE DRESSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. I ASK YOU TO THAT WAS I CAN ONLY SEE THE BACK OF PEOPLE'S HEADS WHO WORKS BACK TO HOLLOWAY. SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF STUDENT AFFAIRS. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. TO ADD SOMETHING IF I CAN. YES, MISS WILLIAMS. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE ON THE ONE HAND IT APPEARS WE ARE WEAPONIZING YOUNG GIRL'S BODY. AH, YOUNG GIRLS CAME NOT.

DETERMINE UM, I MEAN, A YOUNGER SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO CHOOSE HER WAY OF DRESS BECAUSE SOMEONE'S SON CANNOT CONTROL HIMSELF. IF THAT YOUNG GIRL, UH , WANTS TO WEAR A PAIR OF YOGA PANTS, SHE SHOULDN'T BE CRIMINALIZED. HER BODY SHOULDN'T BE WEAPONIZED. SHE SHOULDN'T BE SHAMED INTO COVERING UP HER BOTTOM BECAUSE SOMEONE'S SON CAN'T CONTROL HIMSELF. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PRINCIPLE IS SAYING. OUR YOUNG GIRLS TODAY HAVE BECOME OVERLY SEXUALIZED.

THEY'RE GOING TO INTENTIONALLY WHERE THE PANTS THAT YOU CAN SEE THEM. THEY'RE GOING TO INTENTIONALLY CALL HIM UP. WHERE THEY'RE SHOWING THE SHAPE OF THEIR CROTCH. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY WHAT I'M GONNA SAY SO I'M I'M CONFUSED. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO VOTE ON THIS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PRINCIPLES ARE SAYING. I SEE YOUNG GIRLS AND THEY ARE INTENTIONAL AND SEXUALIZING A PAIR OF YOGA PINK. THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. ST I WANT TO MAKE ONE POINT

[04:20:05]

AND I ALSO SEE IN COLLEGE HAVE MULTIPLE NIECES, NEPHEWS IN COLLEGE RIGHT NOW, AND THAT IS THE TREND TO WEAR YOGA PANTS TO CLASS. WITH THEIR FLIP FLOPS IN A HUGE OVERSIZED T SHIRT. SO I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES AND SO FORTH. BUT I DON'T REALLY SEE THAT AS AS TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT ALL THE KIDS ARE WEARING. AND I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT BULLET NUMBER THREE, REFERRING TO THE ATHLETIC WHERE IT'S NOT GENDER SPECIFIC, SO WE'RE ASKING THE SAME OF MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS. MALE STUDENT. IT'S NOT GONNA BE DRESS CODED BECAUSE IT SWEATS ARE TIGHT. THAT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN. GONNA HAPPEN. COME ON, GUYS. THIS IS MY LIFE. OKAY? I'M GONNA CALL FOR A VOTE. THANK YOU , OKAY. THE AMENDMENT. I'M GOING TO CALL FOR A VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT. PLEASE VOTE. YES.

YEAH. I'M CONFUSED. JUST GO. YES WE WERE VOTING ON THE AMENDMENT , WHICH OKAY, YES VOTE WOULD BE TO AMEND THE MOTION TO STRIKE THE LANGUAGE. YES. 245 AGAINST THE MOTION FAILS.

AND THAT MEANS THE ORIGINAL MOTION REMAINS PENDING FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION. YES. SO WE NOW NEED TO VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION. PLEASE VOTE. YES. YES.

OH, ME. I DID. THE MOTION PASSES SEVEN OH, OKAY. HIDE M D CONSIDER APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE

[8D. Consider approval to authorize the Superintendent, or her designee, to execute agreements with the authorized residential and day treatment service providers as needed for the 2022-23 school year.]

[04:25:05]

UM, ON THIS. ALL THESE FIVE WHERE WE HAVE FIVE OR SIX I BELIEVE SO, MA'AM, I GUESS NEXT TIME WE'LL DEFINITELY NOTE THAT AND PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO BOARD BOOK. OKAY AND THEN THE SECOND BEING. I SEE THAT WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH SHALLOW. DO WE HAVE THE PROPER? UM DISCLOSURES ON FILE FOR THE DOCTOR HILL AS IT RELATES TO THE SHALLOW TREATMENT CENTER.

WILLIAMS THIS IS ROB SCARE MARTO AND YES, WE DO. DR HILL HAS COMPLIED WITH THE DISTRICT POLICY ABOUT DISCLOSING THE CONFLICT, WHICH IS NOT A MONETARY CONFLICT IS JUST FAMILY RELATION. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE BOARD IS THAT MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ONLY PROVIDE ONE RESIDENTIAL DATE TREATMENT FACILITY AND BASICALLY SAY TO APPARENT THIS IS WHERE WHAT'S AVAILABLE. AND WE PROVIDE MORE THAN THIS MORE THAN ONE SO THAT PARENTS OFTEN CAN HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT WHERE THEY MIGHT WANT THEIR CHILD PLACED. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I'M I'M STILL NEEDING TO KNOW I LOOKED ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE. I DIDN'T ANY DISCLOSURES FOR SHALLOW FOR DR HILL. I'M CERTAIN THAT SHE'S NOT MAKING MONEY OFF OF THIS, BUT I WANT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. WE ARE DEALING WITH FEDERAL FUNDS. WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF HER DISCLOSURE? WAS, SHE STATED SHE HAD A RELATIONSHIP. WITH THE OWNER OF SHALLOW WE CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. RIGHT AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO PROVIDE IT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE, WHERE ALL OF OUR OTHER DISCLOSURES ARE SO THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THE TRENDS THAT WE'RE BEING TRANSPARENT, SHALLOW. MAYBE THE BEST ONE OUT THERE, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS WILLIAMS. MISSED A. UM I JUST WANT TO SAY I ACTUALLY ALSO WANT TO SEE THAT, UM SHOULD BE PROVIDED. IF THERE IS A DISCLOSE FORM. THAT'D BE GREAT. WE CAN DO THAT CERTAINLY PROVIDED TO THE ENTIRE BOARD. THANK YOU. AND I THINK I DON'T KNOW. MISTAKE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, EXACTLY IF YOU'RE JUST REFERRING TO SHILOH OR JUST IN GENERAL IN GENERAL, I THINK MR SMARTER WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS MOVING FORWARD. JUST IF THERE IS A DISCLOSURE ON FILE FOR A PARTICULAR ITEM. JUST BEING PROVIDED IN ADVANCE WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY REVIEWING THE MATERIAL. CERTAINLY WE CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.

THE AMOUNT THAT WE ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR IS $10,495,000. THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION. THAT'S ALSO WHAT IS REFLECTED ON THE AMOUNT THAT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AGENDA ITEM. AND SO THAT IS THE CORRECT AMOUNT THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE APPROVING. THE 23,495,000 IS NOT THE CORRECT AMOUNT. OKAY SO CAN WE STILL VOTE ON AS PRESENTED MR RUSH? RATHER THAN STATING AS PRESENTED .

UM I GUESS THIS IS JUST ONE. UM, BIG ASK FROM, UM DR WHITBECK AND HER STAFF, UM, KNOWING THAT BARRINGTON PLACE. UM STAFF HAS BEEN VERY FLEXIBLE OVER THE PAST. A COUPLE OF YEARS AND IN HOSTING OTHER SCHOOLS IN THEIR BUILDING WHILE WE HAD REBUILDS GOING ON, UM I JUST I JUST WANT US TO BE THINKING ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR SCHOOLS THAT ARE HOSTING BARRINGTON PLACE AND THE BARRINGTON PLACE STAFF THAT IS BEING UM, MOVED AND I KNOW I KNOW WHAT I'M VOTING ON HERE IS A MONEY ISSUE, BUT I JUST REALLY I DON'T KNOW. HOW HAS IT BEEN? JUST SAY, CAN WE GIVE THEM A LITTLE EXTRA LOVE THIS YEAR? UM, BECAUSE I REALLY THINK THAT, UMT WE'VE HAD PREVIOUSLY THIS. THIS ADDS SOME ADDITIONAL STRESS TO THESE TEACHERS AND TO THEIR ADMINISTRATORS AND THEIR CUSTODIAL STAFF. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE PROFESSIONALS. SO I WANT TO THANK THEM ALL.

BUT I ALSO HOPE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT THESE, UM STAFF MEMBERS ARE GOING TO NEED SOME EXTRA SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS HANNAH AND MR GARCIA. THANK YOU, MR MALONE. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. I'VE SPOKE TO A LOT OF TEACHERS OR A FEW TEACHERS THAT IN THE PAST THAT THAT GO TO BARRINGTON PLACE AND JUST THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL BARRINGTON PLACE. THEY LOVE THE SCHOOL THE IT'S A COMMUNITY SCHOOL WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER AND I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. I MEAN, I DO JUST FROM WITH MY KIDS, BUT, UM, THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL AND HEARING THE STORIES OF BARRINGTON PLACE BEING USED AS SWING SPACE FOR OTHER SCHOOLS GETTING BUILT OUT AND A LOT OF THE FOLKS IN THAT IN THAT AREA, FELT LIKE THEIR SCHOOL IS BEING A LITTLE BIT NEGLECTED, BUT, UM, THE COMMUNITY THERE THEY'VE REALLY COME TOGETHER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT POSITIVE THINGS FROM BARRINGTON PLACE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FUTURE. WHEN WE GET THESE REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS DONE, THAT SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. AND THE COMMUNITY AND I'M VERY HAPPY FOR THE TEACHERS.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP WITH THAT. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

PLEASE VOTE. YES. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN OH, ALL RIGHT. OUR LAST ITEM ITEM EIGHT I EIGHT.

[8I8. Consider approval for the purchase of concealed weapons detection systems.]

YES, MA'AM. SO UM IN 2018. WHEN THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS FORMED AND WE WERE ABOUT TO 2017 AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GO FOR A 2018 BOND. ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS WAS TO INSTALL METAL DETECTORS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AT SCHOOLS. AND THOSE WERE YOUR TRADITIONAL METAL DETECTORS WITH A FRAME KIND OF, UM, AND SO WE LOOKED AT THOSE AS A COMMITTEE AND REALIZED THAT IT TAKES 6 TO 10 SECONDS TO GET ONE PERSON THROUGH THEM. UM YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE PERSONNEL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE METAL DETECTOR TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ALL THE METAL OBJECTS OUT OF SOMEBODY'S POCKET. MOVE IT AROUND THE METAL DETECTOR AND THEN SOMEBODY ON THE OTHER SIDE TO STAND THERE AND USE THE WAND ON THEM AND HAND THEM BACK THEIR THEIR BELONGINGS. UM AND SO AND SPEAKING TO OSCAR AND HIS TEAM.

UM WE ALSO REALIZED THAT LET'S SAY IT, TRAVIS HIGH SQUAD USE THAT BECAUSE I REMEMBER THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. WE HAD 1800 KIDS ON 33 BUSSES GETTING DROPPED OFF AT A 15 MINUTE WINDOW. UM SO WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 8 TO 10 METAL DETECTORS ACROSS THE BACK OF TRAVIS HIGH SCHOOL. INSIDE THE SCHOOL. UM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL ELECTRICITY FOR THOSE WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR THE PERSONNEL UNITS TO RUN THOSE ASTRONOMICAL. UM AND SO WE DECIDED AT THE TIME TO NOT INVEST IN METAL DETECTORS. ALL RIGHT, SO FAST FORWARD TO 2022. AS WE CONTINUE TO EVALUATE OUR SECURITY PLAN AND LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE. WE'VE COME ACROSS SOME TECHNOLOGY THAT ARE BASICALLY METAL DETECTORS. IT'S A CONCEALED WEAPON DETECTION SYSTEM. UM BUT THEY'RE NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL A FRAME. THEY'RE PORTABLE. THERE'S A TRANSMITTER ON ONE SIDE, AND THERE'S A RECEIVER ON THE OTHER AND PEOPLE CAN WALK THROUGH IT. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AND IT WILL BE ABLE TO DETECT IF YOU HAVE A GUN OR PARTS OF A GUN OR A KNIFE. UH

[04:50:02]

UM SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EIGHT OF THESE UNITS. OH AND THE OTHER THING IS, THEY'RE THEY'RE TROUBLE AND THEY RUN ON BATTERIES. UM AND SO IT'S A STANDARD MILWAUKEE BATTERY THAT YOU CAN BUY AT HOME DEPOT THAT RUNS YOUR LEAF BLOWER OR WHATEVER. SO IT'S NOT PREPARATORY, PROPRIETARY OR ANYTHING. UM, BUT WE CAN MOVE THESE AROUND TO WHERE WE NEED THEM, AND THAT'S A HUGE BENEFIT . WE ALSO DON'T HAVE TO PLUG THEM IN TO HAVE THEM RUNNING.

WE'LL GET ABOUT 10 HOURS OF RUNTIME. THAT'S WHAT THE COMPANY IS TELLING US ON EACH SET. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EIGHT OF THESE, AND THAT MEANS THAT WE COULD PUT ONE AT EACH ENTRANCE TO MERCER STADIUM, AND THEN WE COULD DIVIDE THE OTHER FOUR BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT VENUES WHERE WE WOULD BE PLAYING VOLLEYBALL GAMES FOR THIS FALL. THANK YOU SO FOR THIS FALL. THIS ITEM, IF APPROVED BY THE BOARD WOULD CHANGE WOULD BE, I GUESS WHAT WOULD BE AT THE POINT OF ENTRY FOR FOOTBALL GAMES AT MERCER STADIUM? IN ADDITION, YOU ALSO HAVE A NUCLEAR BAG POLICY.

SUPPORTING SAFETY FOR OUR FAMILIES. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, SIR. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. PLEASE VOTE. YES. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN OH, WAIT. MISS WILLIAMS. I DIDN'T UH, DID YOU VOTE? THAT'S IT? YES. OKAY I THOUGHT SO. BUT THEN I WASN'T SURE IT LOOKED LIKE OKAY, GOOD. I'M GLAD WAS CORRECT . THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW CONVENE AND CLOSED CLOSED SESSION UNDER
