THESE YOUNG STUDENTS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FROM THEIR CAMPUS BASED ON THE VIRTUES OF OUTSTANDING CHARACTER, CITIZENSHIP, FAIRNESS, HONESTY, KINDNESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY AND TRUSTWORTHINESS.

[00:10:02]
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE DAVID WRIGHT, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF STUDENT SERVICES AND SUPPORT, TO PRESENT OUR NEXT RECOGNITION.I WOULD LOVE TO INTRODUCE ANYBODY, BUT THEY'RE NOT HERE.
SO WE NEED TO LET THEM COME IN.
WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE IMPRESSED, THEN YOU'RE ASLEEP.
SO, I AM PROUD TO INTRODUCE TONIGHT THE FOURTH PLACE MANSFIELD TIGERS, WHO JUST WENT TO NATIONAL AT THE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DRILL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP.
WHICH IS THE COMPETITION FOR CADETS IN ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE AND MARINES.
THESE CADETS PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

[00:15:04]
SO AS A SIDE NOTE, MANSFIELD HAS GONE TO NATIONALS SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES, WITH THE EXCEPTION, I BELIEVE NOT LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF COVID, THEY HAVE FARED WELL.THIS TIME THEY FARED BETTER THAN THEY EVER HAVE, AND THAT IS WITH TWO UPPERCLASSMEN. SO THEY'VE GOT A VERY GOOD GROUP OF STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING UP THROUGH THE RANKS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARENTS OR LIKE TO GET PHOTOS AT THIS TIME, THIS WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE TIME.
THANK YOU PFC. [APPLAUSE] THAT'S QUITE THE ENTRANCE AND THE EXIT.
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD LEAD A CHEER OR SOMETHING.
I'M GOING TO START WITH THE JERRY KNIGHT'S STEM ACADEMY FACULTY AND STAFF.
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR STEM EDUCATION, ALSO KNOWN AS NISE, CERTIFIES TEACHERS, CAMPUSES AND DISTRICTS IN STEM TEACHING USING A COMPETENCY BASED COACH LED ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM.
EDUCATORS PRODUCE A PORTFOLIO OF WORK THAT DEMONSTRATES PROFICIENCY ACROSS 15 STEM TEACHER ACTIONS.
EVERY TEACHER, EVERY DESIGNER AND ADMINISTRATOR AT JERRY KNIGHT'S STEM ACADEMY ARE IN THEIR NISE'S TEACHER CERTIFICATION DURING THE 21-2O22 SCHOOL YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY, JERRY KNIGHT AS AN ACADEMY, EARNED A CAMPUS CERTIFICATION WHICH INVOLVES A COLLABORATION AND STRATEGICALLY IDENTIFYING AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND IMPLEMENTING A PLAN TO ACHIEVE THEIR CREATED VISION AND MISSION.
VERY FEW CAMPUSES HAVE ALL OF THEIR DESIGNERS CERTIFIED AND VERY FEW CAMPUSES HAVE ALL OF THEIR DESIGNERS CERTIFIED AS WELL AS BEING A CERTIFIED CAMPUS.
AND THEY DID ALL OF THIS DURING A PANDEMIC.
AND SO JERRY KNIGHT IS ONE OF TEN CAMPUSES IN THE IMMEDIATE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA TO HAVE THIS CERTIFICATION AND ONE OF ABOUT 50 NATIONWIDE. SO AT THIS TIME, IF YOU COULD GIVE THEM A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
[APPLAUSE] I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR STEM DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF STEM, VICKI WEBSTER, AND SHEA ATWOOD, THE PRINCIPAL AT JERRY KNIGHT'S STEM ACADEMY FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP DURING THIS PROCESS.
AND AGAIN, DESIGNERS, THANK YOU FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND EVEN DURING A PANDEMIC SEASON.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING WORK.
OKAY. NEXT, WE GET TO CELEBRATE ONE OF OUR PRINCIPALS.
ERICA GORRUSO , IF YOU COULD COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.
[00:20:04]
ERIKA WAS RECENTLY HONORED BY THE ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT AT THEIR ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY LAST MONTH.AND AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT HERE.
IF YOU GUYS WOULD COME UP AND STAND WITH ERICA.
[APPLAUSE] THE ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT RECOGNIZES EMPLOYEES ALONG WITH BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IN THEIR EFFORTS TO MAKE ARLINGTON BETTER.
TA HOWARD PRINCIPAL, ERICA GORRUSO WAS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2021 CITIZENS COMMUNITY AWARD.
MRS. GORRUSO WAS RECOGNIZED FOR HER EFFORTS IN BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CITY, WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL BUSINESSES TO STRENGTHEN THE TA HOWARD AND THE ARLINGTON COMMUNITIES. WHEN RECOGNIZING THE WINNERS, ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT CHAPLAIN RICK BURGIN STATED, WE'RE CELEBRATING TONIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL FOLLOWED THIS PATH OF SERVICE WITH NOBLE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY, CONSISTENTLY PUTTING OTHERS WELL BEFORE THEIR OWN SELVES.
WE APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DO FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND FOR OUR KIDS.
SO, ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO ERICA GORRUSO.

IT IS REMARKABLE THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS TWO STATE LEVEL RECOGNIZED TEACHERS, AND IT SPEAKS TO THE QUALITY OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DISTRICT. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TWO AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR KIDDOS.
[APPLAUSE] OK, THANK YOU, MS. YOUNG, FOR LEADING THOSE RECOGNITIONS.
SO TONIGHT IT'S MY HONOR TO RECOGNIZE OUR HUMAN RESOURCES TEAM.
WHICH IS EXCITING, RIGHT? I'M A LITTLE BIT BIASED, BUT IT'S SUPER EXCITING.
SO IF I CAN INVITE OUR TEAM UP, LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE COMING.
HERE THEY COME. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS HERE, TN PATTERSON, WHO'S OUR DIRECTOR OF DATA SERVICES, WHO YOU SEE PICTURED IN THE PHOTO THERE EXCEPT THIS AWARD ON OUR BEHALF. AND SHE'S REALLY BEEN THE TEAM LEAD FOR THIS.
AND WHAT THIS AWARD IS FOR IS INNOVATION IN OUR PROCESSES AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
REALLY A LOT OF AUTOMATION AND THINGS THAT WE DO ROUTINELY AND NOT ONLY AFFECTS OUR HR SIDE, BUT ALSO ON THE BUSINESS SIDE, A NUMBER OF THE AUTOMATION IS PUT IN PLACE FACILITATED BY TN AND BUT ALSO IMPLEMENTED BY OUR TEAM.
YOU'RE AMAZING AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.
[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, DR. STOECKER.
THIS BRINGS US TO THE FINAL RECOGNITION OF THE EVENING.
[00:25:03]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.IT'S BEEN FUN TO SHOW OFF THIS EVENING.
AND OUR FINAL RECOGNITION WILL CLOSE THAT OUT AND EXEMPLIFY THAT EVEN MORE.
THIS PAST FALL, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TEXAS TRUST CREDIT UNION, MANSFIELD ISD LAUNCHED THE TRUSTED HERO AWARD NOMINATED BY MANSFIELD ISD STAFF FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IN SUPPORT OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.
TWO TRUSTED HEROES ARE NAMED EACH SEMESTER.
I'VE ASKED IF THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT IT.
NO ONE WILL GIVE ME THE RIGHT ANSWER YET.
I'VE HEARD IT MIGHT BE DINNER TONIGHT.
SHE'S GOING TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS.
THANK YOU. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT.
I WISH I COULD HIRE YOUR KIDS.
I MEAN, THEY I MEAN, THAT'S OUTSTANDING.
BUT WE HERE AT TEXAS TRUST CREDIT UNION, WE BECAME A PARTNER WITH THE DISTRICT BACK IN 2011.
IT'S BEEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP.
WHEN WE STARTED THIS OUT, WE THOUGHT, WELL MAYBE WE'LL GIVE TEN, 15, $20,000 BACK TO MANSFIELD SCHOOLS, OUR MEMBERS, WHEN THEY SWIPE THEIR DEBIT CARD, A PORTION OF THAT GOES INTO GOES INTO A BUCKET OF MONEY THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT GETS.
AND WE THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL GET TO 100,000.
AND AS OF TODAY, WE'VE GIVEN OVER $500,000 BACK TO MANSFIELD SCHOOLS.
[APPLAUSE] SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY, REALLY GOOD PARTNERSHIP.
THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO JOIN OUR BOARD MEMBERS UP HERE.
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE THOSE SPRING 2022 TRUSTED HEROES UP.
JANA HANDSTROM, AID FROM THELMA JONES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND LISA EUBANKS, COUNSELOR FROM WILLIE BROWN ACADEMY OF YOUNG SCHOLARS.
BEING ABLE TO COME OUT AND CELEBRATE OUR EMPLOYEES IS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE JOB.
I'D LIKE TO DESCRIBE HER AS THE SUNSHINE OF OUR BUILDING.
SHE WILL BRIGHTEN UP ANYONE'S DAY.
SHE LITERALLY WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR AND SHE WILL SAY, WHERE DO YOU NEED ME TODAY? AND I JUST THINK THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO HER DESIRE TO SEE US BE SUCCESSFUL OVER HERE AT THELMA JONES, SHE'S JUST AS FIRM AS SHE NEEDS TO BE, BUT VERY LOVING WITH OUR STUDENTS. TOTALLY SURPRISE.
TOTALLY. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT DID NOMINATE ME AND I WASN'T EXPECTING IT.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND VERY THANKFUL.
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO'S WILLING TO GIVE ABOVE AND BEYOND THEIR NEEDS AND TO HELP US GET THROUGH WHATEVER WE'RE GOING THROUGH AT THE TIME. SHE'S ALWAYS INTERESTED IN GIVING THAT BALANCE SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TO OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND OUR PARENTS.
I'M THE BLESSED ONE TO BE ON SUCH A CAMPUS WHERE THEY'RE AMAZING GIVERS, AMAZING DOERS.
I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE I'M DESERVING OF IT BECAUSE I HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING STAFF.
SO IT IS AN HONOR TO BE PART OF THIS.
[00:30:05]
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, JANA AND LISA.AND LET'S GIVE ONE MORE ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL OF THOSE WE RECOGNIZE THIS EVENING.
AND THAT CONCLUDES THIS EVENING'S RECOGNITION.
I WANTED TO MAKE ONE MORE STATEMENT.
CAN YOU STAND UP, SIR? WE JUST WANT TO SAY THAT HE IS THE REASON WHY WE DO GREAT THINGS OUT THERE AND OUR MOTIVATION.
WE DO IT ALL IN YOUR HONOR, SIR.
I THINK THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO WHAT OUR COMMUNITY IS AND WHAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO.
AND SO I KNOW IT'S WITH GOOD REASON, RIGHT, SIR? BUT AT THIS TIME, WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR WE WANT TO DISCUSS IF THERE'S ANY STUDENTS OR PARENTS OR TEACHERS THAT MIGHT HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO DO THIS EVENING.
BECAUSE WE WERE DONE WITH OUR RECOGNITION PORTION OF OUR MEETING AS EVERYONE SLOWLY RISES.
IF YOU NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR HOMEWORK, CLEAN YOUR ROOM, WORK ON CHORES, DO A GOOD DEED FOR A NEIGHBOR OR A FRIEND, NOW IS YOUR TIME AND THIS IS YOU THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AND IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO HEAD THAT WAY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING AND JOINING US TONIGHT.
BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS TO ATTEND TO.
IF YOU COULD STEP OUTSIDE, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH OUR MEETING.
YOU MAY CONTINUE TO TAKE PICTURES, HAVE CONVERSATIONS, HUG YOUR NEIGHBORS IN THE LOBBY.
IF YOU GUYS COULD STEP OUTSIDE, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE MEETING.
THIS LEADS US TO AGENDA ITEM 7.1 INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS, DR.
[7. Instructional Focus ]
SCOTT. IT HAS BECOME A TRADITION FOR US HERE IN MISD TO KIND OF HAVE A PERFORMANCE, A LITTLE INSPIRATION FROM THE WINNER OF OUR LOCAL FOUR WAY TEST FROM OUR ROTARY CLUB.WE HAVE TWO GREAT ROTARY CLUBS IN MANSFIELD.
SO, MR. WRIGHT, WOULD YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE OUR SPEAKER FOR THIS EVENING? BE GLAD TO, AS YOU RILEY, IF YOU WOULD, GO AHEAD AND START COMING UP TO THE MICROPHONE.
AND I WILL INTRODUCE YOU AGAIN.
NEWSOM, INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT DR.
SCOTT, I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO RILEY ANTHONY.
SHE WAS THE WINNER OF THE SUNSHINE LOCAL ROTARY COMPETITION.
THE FOUR WAY TEST IS A CONTEST OF INCORPORATING FOUR BASIC TENETS THAT THE ROTARY CLUBS LIVE BY.
ONE IS THAT THE TRUTH? TWO, IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? THREE WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? AND FOUR, IS IT BENEFICIAL FOR ALL? AND THAT IS WHAT RILEY HAD TO INCORPORATE WITHIN THE TOPIC THAT SHE CHOSE FOR HER SPEECH.
AND SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO RILEY ANTHONY FROM LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL.
MY HAIR HAD LOOSE FLYWAYS SURROUNDING MY KINKY AND CURLY BUN WHILE THEIR HAIR WAS PERFECTLY SLICK AND STRAIGHT AND WHILE THEIR SKIN WAS PALE, PERFECTLY MATCHING THE COLOR OF OUR PEACH TIGHTS AND POINTE SHOES.
MY SKIN WAS BROWN, DEMANDING THAT EVERYONE IN THE ROOM SEE THAT I WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
[00:35:03]
AFTER THAT CLASS, I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND A WAY TO BELONG.I RESTRICTED MY EATING, COUNTED MY CALORIES, AND EXERCISED AND ATTEMPT TO LOSE WEIGHT.
I THOUGHT THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE WAS TO LOOK THE WAY THAT EVERYONE ELSE DID.
I WOULD NEVER LOOK LIKE THE BALLERINAS I WERE TOLD WERE THE BEST.
THERE ARE SOME PARTS OF MY BODY THAT WERE JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE, AND I HATED MYSELF FOR IT.
UNFORTUNATELY, MY EXPERIENCE ISN'T UNCOMMON.
TODAY I WILL BE USING THE ROTARY FOUR WAY TEST TO EXAMINE THROUGH PERSONAL NARRATIVE AND FACTUAL EVIDENCE THE COMMON BUT CALAMITOUS ISSUES IMPACTING THE BALLET WORLD. IS IT THE TRUTH? ACCORDING TO DATA USA, 66% OF BALLERINAS ARE WHITE, WHILE ONLY 2% ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN.
A STUDY ON BALLET DANCERS BY CLINICAL.GOV HIGHLIGHTS THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT, DANCERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO STRUGGLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES LIKE EATING DISORDERS, ANXIETY AND COMPULSIVE OBSESSIVE DISORDER.
THE DISMAYING TRUTH IS THE LACK OF RACIAL DIVERSITY AND THE UNHEALTHY BODY STANDARDS WITHIN THE BALLET WORLD ARE CAUSING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WITHIN DANCERS AND PREVENTING FURTHER ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
THE SECOND QUESTION TO EXAMINE IS, IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? THE MOST IMPACTFUL ARTISTS IN SOCIETY, INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL BALLET DANCERS, REACHED SUCCESS BECAUSE THEY STOOD OUT.
ART IS MEASURED BY INDIVIDUALITY.
THEREFORE, HOW FAIR IS IT TO EXCLUDE SOMEONE FOR NOT LOOKING LIKE THE MAJORITY? THEN NEVER TO HAVE EVERY DANCER LOOK A CERTAIN WAY IS NOT ONLY UNFAIR TO DANCERS OF COLOR AND THOSE OF LARGER BODY TYPES, BUT ALSO TO THOSE WHO FALL UNDER THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PERFECT BALLERINA.
THE AMERICAN BALLET THEATER WAS FOUNDED IN 1956.
MISTY COPELAND BECAME THE FIRST AND ONLY PRINCIPAL AFRICAN AMERICAN DANCER IN 2015 IN THE COMPANY'S 75TH YEAR OF HISTORY. OVER THE YEARS, DANCERS OF COLOR WERE STRIPPED OF OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, WHILE OTHERS DIDN'T RECEIVE A ROLE BECAUSE THEIR BODY DIDN'T FIT AN UNREALISTIC AND UNHEALTHY STANDARD.
THE UNIQUENESS OF THEIR IMAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE TOLD MAKES THEM UNFIT.
THEY DANCE KNOWING THEY ARE MISSING SOMETHING THEY HAVE NO WAY OF ATTAINING.
THE THIRD QUESTION TO REFLECT UPON IS WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HEALTHY COMPETITION PUSHING ONESELF TO BE JUST AS TALENTED AS THE PERSON BESIDE YOU.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND CHARACTER.
HOWEVER, WHEN DOES IT GO FROM HEALTHY TO OBSESSIVE? THE BODY EXPECTATIONS PUT ON DANCERS, OPEN THE DOORS TO UNHEALTHY COMPARISONS THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE RELATIONSHIPS THEY SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THIS FURTHER CHIPS AWAY AT THEIR ABILITY TO BUILD, BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER, AUTHENTIC FRIENDSHIPS.
I WAS STARTLED TO SEE A LITTLE GIRL WHO LOOK THE WAY THAT I DID.
BROWN SKIN AND CURLY HAIR PULLED INTO A MESSY BUN.
HER FACE WAS COVERED WITH LONGING AND CURIOSITY.
WHEN HER EYES MET MINE, SHE INSTANTLY LIT UP.
SHE EMBRACED ME INTO HER ARMS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING MY NAME.
SHE COMPLIMENTED MY HAIR, WHICH WAS IN THE SAME STYLE AS HERS.
ABELLAR AND I WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE CLASS.
IT WASN'T A COINCIDENCE THAT SHE GRAVITATED TOWARDS ME THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE SEMESTER BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT FOUR YEARS OLD, SHE SAW HERSELF WITHIN THE BALLET WORLD. SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BELONG, AND FOR HER, THAT WAY WAS ME.
IS IT BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERN? IT CAN BE INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL TO SEE WHO YOU ARE REPRESENTED AND WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO.
PROMOTING DIVERSITY WITHIN THE BALLET WORLD IS A SOLUTION THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED BECAUSE IT BROADENS THE SPECTRUM WITHIN ART AND CONSTRUCTS A CLEAR BELIEF SYSTEM WITHIN MINORITIES.
EQUALITY WILL BE DISPERSED, COLLABORATIONS WILL INCREASE, AND BONDS BETWEEN DANCERS WILL IMPROVE.
IF MORE PEOPLE LIKE ABELLAR ARE ABLE TO SEE AND THOSE THEY RELATE TO THAT THEY BELONG.
WITH IT COMES INDIVIDUALISTIC ART AND AN EXCEEDINGLY EMPATHETIC SOCIETY.
[00:40:20]
SO BOARD MEMBERS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS RILEY, YOU CAN DO SO AT THIS TIME.BOARD MEMBERS TO MY LEFT. WONDERFUL JOB.
I GOT TO HEAR YOU DO IT THE FIRST TIME.
AND IT WAS JUST AS GOOD THE SECOND TIME.
AMAZING JOB I'M REALLY PROUD OF.
THANK YOU, MR. CANEDY. THANK YOU, RILEY.
I AGREE. IT WAS JUST AS GOOD THIS TIME.
I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING A JUDGE AT THE FOUR WAY SPEECH CONTEST FOR PROBABLY 25 YEARS.
THEY GO TO A REGIONAL NEXT, AND THEN ULTIMATELY, IF THEY KEEP WINNING, THEY GO TO STATE.
AND FOUR YEARS AGO, WE HAD THE STATE CHAMPION HERE AT MANSFIELD INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I THINK, RILEY, YOU GOT A CHANCE TO DO IT.
BUT IT'S NOT ONLY THEIR SPEAKING SKILLS THAT WE TRY TO REALLY WORK WITH, IT'S TAKING THE TENETS OF THE FOUR WAY SPEECH CONTEST AND MAKING THEM LOOK AT LIFE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES WITH THOSE FAIRNESS, BENEFICIALITY TRUTH MEASURES.
AND WHEN WE ALL DO THAT, WE BECOME BETTER CITIZENS.
THANK YOU, RILEY, FOR YOUR GREAT WORK ON THIS SO MUCH.
THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] 7.2. MR. JOHNSON, WOULD YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND GIVE THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY AN UPDATE ON COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS? GOOD EVENING, DR. SCOTT.
PRESIDENT NEWSOM BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE AND FOLLOW THAT AMAZING ACT.
AT SOME POINT, THINGS WILL STALL AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING YOU FANTASTIC NEWS.
YOU HAVE AN EXHIBIT WHICH IS OUR CCMR MARCH PROJECTIONS THAT IS BASED BY CLASS, THE CLASS STARTING WITH THE CLASS OF 2022. AND SO CC MR COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS LAGS A YEAR BEHIND AND SO ON THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR ACCOUNTABILITY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CLASS OF 2021.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS YEAR'S CLASS 2021, THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THIS YEAR'S ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT A RAW SCORE OF 60, THAT EQUALS 60% OF THE STUDENTS HAVE MET CCMR CRITERIA, WHICH FOR US EQUALS AN A RATING.
AND OF COURSE 60 IS THE FLOOR BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO ALWAYS BE HIGHER THAN THAT.
SO I WANT TO START BY SHOWING YOU CCMR PERFORMANCE YEAR OVER YEAR.
AND AS YOU SEE THE WORK OF VISION 2020 AND THE PHENOMENAL VISION OF CHANGING ADULT BEHAVIOR AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, IT STARTED WELL BEFORE WE BEGAN TO GET RATED ON CCMR. AND SO WITH THE CLASS OF 2017, WE WERE AT 61.
WE BEGAN THE TREND UP AND WE WE PEAKED AT 69 AND THEN WE WERE AT 64, WE FINISHED AT 64 LAST YEAR.
THIS YEAR OUR CURRENT STATE IS AT 60.
NOW, REMEMBER, WE SPEND A YEAR CLEANING THIS DATA AND WE'RE NOT DONE CLEANING THE DATA.
AND SO THIS YEAR WE ARE AT 60.
AND SO WE'VE DEFINITELY GOT THAT AND WE WILL NOT GO LOWER.
WE WILL ONLY GO UP FROM THERE.
AND SO LAST YEAR I ALSO PROMISED YOU THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD BEGIN THE REPORT OUT IN FUTURE CLASSES.
AND SO TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME I GET TO DO THAT WITH THE CLASS OF 2022, WHICH IS OUR CURRENT YEAR SENIORS ARE SITTING AT A 51, AND I'M GOING TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOTH OF THESE PRESENTATIONS BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT TEA, THAT WE GET THE CHANCE TO DO IS WE GET A CHANCE TO ADAPT TO
[00:45:04]
TEA MOVING GOALPOSTS.AND SO AS A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, I THINK YOU CAN BE PROUD IN OUR COMMUNITY, CAN BE PROUD THAT WE AS A DISTRICT CONTINUE TO ADAPT AND EVERY TIME THEY CHANGE THE FORMULA, EVERY TIME THEY CHANGE THE GAME, WE RESPOND AND WE WIN.
IF THEY IF THERE WAS AN INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THAT PROGRAM, THEY COULD TAKE THE INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION AND THEY COULD GAIN A FULL POINT THERE. AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO A FULL POINT FOR MILITARY ENLISTMENT.
YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN 2019.
AND SO I WANT TO GO BACK BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU BEGIN TO SEE US RAMP UP.
SO A CLASS OF 2018, CLASS OF 2019, WE'RE AT OUR PEAK.
AND WE CAN WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
FOR THE CLASS OF 2021, THE FORMULA CONTINUES AS IT IS.
AND THEN I'LL TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.
WE HAD A HOUSE BILL 773, WHICH BROUGHT BACK A PROGRAM COMPLETED PROGRAM OF STUDY, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE COHERENT SEQUENCE, AND THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO CAPITALIZE AT A FULL POINT AND NOT A HALF POINT.
MILITARY ENLISTMENT WILL REMAIN NOT COUNTING BECAUSE THEY ARE, TEA IS WORKING WITH THE US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IN ORDER TO GET THOSE THAT DATA THAT WAS SELF REPORTED.
WE HAD TO WAIT FOR STUDENTS TO COME BACK AND TELL US WHETHER THEY ENLISTED IN THE MILITARY.
AND SO THEY'RE WORKING WITH DOD FOR THAT.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION.
SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THAT GOING BACK AND FORTH.
PERFORMANCE YEAR OVER YEAR, YOU SEE US TRENDING.
AND THEN WE HAD AN ACCOUNTABILITY FORMULA CHANGE.
NOW, REMEMBER, THIS CHANGE WAS AFTER THE FACT.
SO OUR KIDS HAD ALREADY GRADUATED.
AND SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WE DROPPED FROM 69 TO 64.
MANY OTHER DISTRICTS DROPPED FAR BELOW THAT.
AND SO WE WERE PROUD OF THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAD BUILT TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS WERE NOT JUST CAPITALIZING OFF OF ONE PARTICULAR AREA OF THE FORMULA, BUT ALL AREAS OF THE FORMULA. AND SO THEN WE LOOK AT THE CURRENT REPORT OF CLASS OF 2021, WHICH IS AT 60, AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW CHANGE, WHICH HOUSE BILL 773 WILL ADD THAT POINT BACK IN.
AND SO WE ARE AT A 51 RIGHT NOW.
AND SO IN COMPARISON, I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WE REPORTED FOR THE CLASS OF 2021 THAT THEY WERE AT A 48.
AND SO WHEN THEY WERE JUNIORS, THEY WERE AT A 48 OR SORRY, WHEN THEY WERE SENIORS IN PROGRESS TO GRADUATION, THEY WERE AT A 48 AND THIS YEAR'S CLASS IS A 51.
SO WE HAVE A 3% INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT ARE MEETING CCMR CRITERIA.
SO AGAIN, WE LOOK AT THE CLASS OF 2021 FACTORS.
I WANT TO BRING UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS A TSIA 2.0 SCORE.
THAT'S THE LATEST. AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PIECES OF THE FORMULA THAT TEA CHANGED ON US. SO THE TSIA TWO TEST WAS RELEASED IN JANUARY OF LAST YEAR, AND WHEN IT WAS RELEASED THAT STUDENTS BEGAN THE TRANSITION FROM THE ORIGINAL TSIA TEST.
AND SO AT ONE POINT WE HAD STUDENTS WHO WOULD MEET THE CRITERIA OF THE TSIA TWO TESTS, BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS A DIAGNOSTIC COMPONENT, THEY WOULD QUALIFY THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READY EXCEPT FOR TEA WOULD NOT GIVE US CREDIT BECAUSE THEY HADN'T YET WORKED THROUGH THE PROCESS OF WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC MEANT.
AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER FORMULA CHANGE THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP.
WE HAVE WE HAD A NEW CCMR FORMULA THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED.
WE IMPLEMENTED SAT INSIDE THE SCHOOL DAY, WE BECAME A TSIA TESTING SITE.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE STRONG NUMBERS IN AP AND DUAL CREDIT IN A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ENROLL IN DUAL CREDIT ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE ACTUAL CREDIT FOR THAT.
AND THEN WE EXPAND THE CERTIFICATION LIST.
AND SO DATA IS MY THING AND I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE DATA.
[00:50:06]
AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR SPREADSHEET ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, WE SEE OUR COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS INDICATORS.IN PARTICULAR, WE WANT TO WE WANT TO TRACK THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE MEETING EACH CRITERIA.
SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT VISION 2030 AND TAKING THINGS TO THE STUDENT'S SCORECARD AND GETTING STUDENTS ENGAGED IN IN THEIR OPPORTUNITIES, WE WANT STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE AS MANY INDICATORS AS POSSIBLE.
AND THIS IS HOW WE THIS IS HOW WE KNOW HOW WE'RE DOING.
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR RATE OF 51 FOR THE CLASS OF 2022 IS STILL IN PROGRESS BECAUSE STUDENTS ARE STILL TAKING DUAL CREDIT COURSES, THEY'RE STILL TAKING AP EXAMS AND STILL TAKING TSR EXAMS AS WELL.
SO THE CLASS OF 2022 FACTORS NOW TEA HAS COME BACK THIS YEAR AND SAID THAT THE TSAI TWO TEST WILL IF A STUDENT PASSES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY TAKE THE DIAGNOSTIC OR NOT, THEY WILL GET A POINT.
AND SO THAT'S PHENOMENAL FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT WORK REALLY HARD.
AND SO HB 77 THREE IN THE 87 LEGISLATURE WAS THE NEW FORMULA.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE SAT INSIDE THE SCHOOL DAY, BE A TESTING SITE, DUAL CREDIT.
AND ONE PARTICULAR THING I JUST WANT TO CALL OUT THAT OUR PRINCIPALS AND COUNSELORS HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB STARTING THIS YEAR, WAS WITH OUR FRESHMEN, AND THEY STARTED BY TARGETING OUR FRESHMEN AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AN INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION, MICROSOFT CERTIFICATION, BY TAKING BIM1. AND SO STUDENTS THAT DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN AN IBC AS A FRESHMAN NOW HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
AND WE'RE REALLY PROMOTING THAT FOR THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO TAKE THAT COURSE.
NOW LAST BOARD MEETING, YOU ASKED FOR DISAGGREGATED DATA AND IN DOMAIN.
I'VE BEEN SPENDING MY TIME TALKING ABOUT DOMAIN ONE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY.
IN DOMAIN THREE, THE FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY FORCES US TO LOOK AT OUR STUDENT GROUPS.
AND SO HERE'S THAT DATA BROKEN DOWN IN OUR STUDENT GROUPS.
SO MINIMUM SIZE CRITERIA IS TEN FOR ALL STUDENTS AND 25 FOR GROUPS.
AND SO THERE'S ALWAYS A SLIGHT DISCREPANCY THERE.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT A COUPLE MORE OF OUR INDICATORS ARE EL, ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS CURRENT AND MONITORED. THE THE FEDERAL TARGET IS 30% AND OUR STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING AT 65 SPECIAL EDUCATION CURRENT STUDENTS TARGET IS 27 AND WE'RE PERFORMING AT 70 AND THEN FOUR CONTINUOUSLY ENROLL STUDENTS.
AND SO WHEN WE KNOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS ARE STAY ENROLLED WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS, THAT THEY HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS THIS METRIC PROVES IT BECAUSE THE FEDERAL TARGET IS 50 AND WE ARE AT 68.
AND SO ALL IN ALL, THE WAY WE GET OUR POINTS FROM FROM THE FEDERAL SIDE OF THINGS AND DOMAIN THREE IS DID WE MEET 12 OUT OF 12 INDICATORS BASED OFF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAD? DID WE MEET EVERY INDICATOR THAT WE CAN MEET? AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
SO WE'RE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB, AND I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T JUST CALL OUT THE WORK OF OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, OUR PRINCIPALS, OUR COUNSELORS, OUR TEACHERS THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY PUSHING THIS WORK FORWARD.
AND I JUST KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO UP FROM FROM THERE.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
BUT YES, HOPEFULLY THEY GET THAT FIGURED OUT.
I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE ON THIS, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION JUST ABOUT IF A STUDENT IF ONE STUDENT MEETS SEVERAL CRITERIA, I'M THINKING LIKE OUR EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE GOING TO MEET SEVERAL JUST BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE PROGRAM THAT THEY'RE IN.
DO THEY COUNT AS ONE OR DO THEY COUNT AS MULTIPLE DATA POINTS? SO FOR THE STATE, THEY ONLY COUNT ONCE.
[00:55:04]
BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT BECAUSE YEAH, I MEAN, OUR KIDS DO HAVE OPTIONS AND IF THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE GREAT IF THEY COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MORE BECAUSE EVERYTHING THEY DO WILL HELP PREPARE THEM FOR THEIR NEXT STEP.IT'S OKAY. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NEXT STEPS ARE? I MEAN, WE'VE GOT OBVIOUSLY A LOT GOING ON, THE MOVING GOALPOSTS, KEEP YOU BUSY, YOU KNOW, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S NEXT.
WHAT DO YOU SEE NEXT FOR CCMR? SO I WON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT NUMBERS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO THROW A NUMBER OUT THERE THAT'S JUST NOT ATTAINABLE.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT WITH THE NEW FORMULA, WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT OUR KIDS ARE ACTUALLY MEETING, BECAUSE IF THEY ARE GOING THROUGH A PROGRAM OF STUDY THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION, THEY SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR IT.
AND SO GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THAT PIECE BACK IN AND SEE WHAT OUR OVERALL NUMBERS ARE, WE'RE FAR BEYOND THE 60 BY 30 BY 30 METRIC. AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO REALLY BE THE LEADER IN CCMR FROM A MIDSIZED DISTRICT STANDPOINT.
I MEAN I REMEMBER WORKING WITH OTHER SCHOOL BOARDS AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT, OH MY GOSH, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? AND THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.
AND SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE ALWAYS TRY TO STAY ONE STEP AHEAD AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE KIDS AND NOT REALLY WORKING TOWARDS THE TEST, BUT WORKING TOWARDS REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS FOR THESE KIDS AND HELPING THEM GET IT PREPARED.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND I APPRECIATE ALL THAT Y'ALL ARE DOING.
WE HAVEN'T CONCENTRATED SO MUCH ON THE STATE FORMULA, AS YOU SAID, KIND OF STUDYING FOR THE TEST, RIGHT? WE'VE STUDIED THOSE FACTORS.
WE STARTED FROM A PLACE OF SETTING THOSE FACTORS WHERE THEY SAID IF A KID MEETS THESE FOUR MEASURES, THEY'RE X PERCENTAGE MORE LIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN A CAREER AND IN COLLEGE, YOU KNOW, TO MATRICULATE THROUGH.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE ATTACKED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DESIGNED OUR SYSTEM.
AND I THINK THE DOMAIN THREE WORK REALLY SHOWS SOME PIECES.
WE ASKED FOR THE AUDIT. PRIOR TO THE AUDIT THOUGH, WE HAD ALREADY SIGNED THE CONTRACT FOR SAT IN THE SCHOOL DAY PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT TO THE AUDIT, WE HAD ALREADY STARTED ON THE TSI AND THAT REALLY BECOMING A TESTING SITE THAT REALLY OPENS UP DOORS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T KNOW WERE THERE BEFORE.
SO THAT'S A COUPLE OF THE THINGS.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT IF YOU LOOKED AT THE IF YOU'LL GO BACK TO THE GRAPHIC, MR. JOHNSON, WITH THE SPREADSHEET WITH ALL THE MEASURES ON IT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST YEAR THAT WE HAD, ONE MORE PLEASE SIR.
OKAY. OH, I FORGOT YOU GOT A FEW ANIMATIONS ON THERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST YEAR THAT THEY COUNTED.
COHERENT SEQUENCE AND MILITARY READINESS, THAT LAST YEAR WAS FOR COHERENT SEQUENCE WAS 5% OF OUR KIDS QUALIFIED UNDER THAT AND AGAIN THEY CHANGED THAT THEY CHANGE THAT RULE A FULL YEAR AFTER THOSE STUDENTS HAD GRADUATED.
OUR MILITARY READINESS WAS 4%.
AGAIN, THEY CHANGED THAT RULE.
BUT IF YOU GO TO THE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE BAR GRAPH, WE DON'T HAVE A 9% DROP.
OKAY. THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE OTHER CATEGORIES ARE GROWING AS WELL.
I JUST WANT TO BRING UP ONE MORE PIECE.
SO I WAS I WAS A LITTLE TOUGH ON TEA AND CHANGING THE FORMULA ON US.
AND SO I MUST MENTION THAT THEY DO REWARD US FOR, FOR DOING A GOOD JOB.
I HEARD TRONGAARD GET REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IS GREAT WORK.
[01:00:01]
AND LIKE I SAID, I JUST APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING SO COMMITTED TO OUR STUDENTS.AND IT'S NICE TO SEE IT REFLECTED IN THE NUMBERS TO.
QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT, MR. DAVIS. MR. JOHNSON, THANK YOU.
THIS IS AWFUL ENCOURAGING NEWS, RIGHT? WE'RE TRENDING ABSOLUTELY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS IT PERTAINS TO OPPORTUNITY GAPS.
AND AS WE LOOK THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS, THEY'RE NOT UNILATERAL, WHICH IS.
OKAY. RIGHT. I'M WONDERING, HAVE WE BEGUN TO STRATEGIZE WAYS TO BRING OTHER GROUPS UP TO THAT TREMENDOUS SUCCESS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING.
IS IT SIMPLY A MATTER OF MAYBE COMMUNICATION, MAYBE IT'S EDUCATION FOR THE PARENTS, HELPING COMMUNITIES TO UNDERSTAND? HAVE WE BEGUN THAT TYPE OF WORK? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE FOLKS ARE MISSING OUT ON A REALLY GOOD THING.
AND THAT'S OKAY. LIKE WE'RE PROMOTING THAT.
BUT WE'RE PURPOSELY SEEKING IT OUT.
I'M WONDERING IF FOLKS ARE MISSING OUT ON THAT OPPORTUNITY EITHER.
I DON'T BELIEVE BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE AND WE'RE NOT ADVERTISING.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO STRATEGIZE WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN CLOSE THAT GAP.
SO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE'VE SOUGHT TO CLOSE THE GAP.
FIRST, EVERY TIME WE BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT OUR COURSE OFFERINGS OVER A BIN BARBER IN THE IN THE COURSES THAT START THE INTRODUCTORY COURSES THAT HAVE STARTED AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS. THE NUMBER ONE THING WE TALK ABOUT AND WE SPEND HOURS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE PROMOTING IT AND HOW WE'RE COMMUNICATING IT TO OUR DISTRICT AND OUR IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO.
NUMBER ONE, DO THEY KNOW THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES EXIST? AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE INTENTIONAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT.
WE'RE TRACKING AND IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATIONS ARE AN AREA THAT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN VENDORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE CORNERED THE MARKET ON ENSURING STUDENT SUCCESS ON THOSE TESTS.
AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORK ON IS ENSURING THAT OUR KIDS ARE READY FOR THE TEST SO THAT THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY TAKING THE CLASS COINCIDES WITH THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL IN TAKING THAT CERTIFICATION.
AND SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON CLOSING THAT GAP.
AND THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT DURING OUR CADENCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS.
AND SO WHEN WE WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND WHEN WE LOOK AT TRACKING THE ACTUAL WORK THAT'S BEING DONE.
THOSE ARE TWO MAJOR WAYS IN WHICH WE'RE CLOSING IN CTE.
ANOTHER WAY THAT WE HAVE SOUGHT TO CLOSE THE GAP IS WE SOUGHT TO CREATE PREP OPPORTUNITIES.
FOR INSTANCE, ONE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS BROUGHT IN A TEST SAT TEST PREP COMPANY IN ORDER TO WORK WITH STUDENTS SO THAT THEY COULD PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN EXPAND THAT DISTRICT WIDE.
AND SO INNOVATION HAPPENS IN THOSE SMALL POCKETS WITH OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS.
AND SO WE APPLAUD THEM FOR THAT.
AND WE LEARN FROM IT AS A DISTRICT.
AND AGAIN, AS WE'RE VERY CLEAR, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
AND I BELIEVE WE'RE TRENDING IN THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SCOTT IS PICKING UP ON NEW TERM OPPORTUNITY GAP, RIGHT.
IF THERE ARE WAYS, THEN LET'S PURSUE THEM.
WELL, AND I THINK PART OF THE WAY WE DO THAT IS VISION 2030 IS AROUND TAKING OUR SYSTEMS, THE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT.
RIGHT. ABOUT TEACHING THEM THAT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CYCLE FOR THEMSELVES, ABOUT TEACHING THEM TO TRACK THEIR OWN DATA, SET THEIR OWN GOALS AND TALK ABOUT THEM. WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE OUT THERE? MR. JOHNSON AND MS. YOUNG AND DR. CANTU AND I HAVE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME THE LAST FEW DAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW TO RELAUNCH VISION 2030 SO THAT OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
OUR PRINCIPALS ARE READY TO SUPPORT IT.
SO WE WANT IT TO BE IN FULL EFFECT FOR HIM, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE A MUCH BIGGER EFFECT FOR MY FIRST GRADER WHO'S COMING HOME WHEN HE GETS FRUSTRATED AND TELLING ME, DADDY, I HAVE A CLOSED MINDSET RIGHT NOW.
I NEED TO HAVE YOU KNOW, I NEED TO HAVE A GROWTH MINDSET.
I NEED TO GO AND RETHINK ABOUT HOW I'M GOING TO ATTACK THIS PROBLEM.
[01:05:02]
AND THIS IS NOT THESE ARE NOT THIS IS NOT VERBIAGE A SEVEN YEAR OLD COMES UP WITH THEIR OWN OR QUITE FRANKLY, FOR ME, THIS IS THIS IS VERBIAGE THAT'S COMING FROM AND BEING TAUGHT DIRECTLY TO HIM BY DESIGN THROUGH HIS SEL AND VISION 2030 PROGRAMS. IT'S HAPPENING.AND THEN WE GET TO THINK ABOUT, OKAY, HOW DO WE TAKE THAT SYSTEMWIDE? HOW DO WE USE THAT TO HELP MORE AND MORE KIDS? SO WE ARE GOING TO GET BETTER.
IS OUR ONLY IS REALLY THE ONLY PROMISE THAT WE MAKE.
MR. SNEED. MR. JOHNSON, THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.
AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR REMINDING US THAT THIS IS A LAGGING ONE YEAR BEHIND, AND I MAY BE OFF ON THIS, BUT IF I AM, CORRECT ME, BUT I KNOW AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, IN YEARS PAST, HIGH SCHOOLS DID NOT RECEIVE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HIGH SCHOOLS DESIGNATED AS TITLE ONE HIGH SCHOOLS.
IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECT, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY AS ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL THAT IS DESIGNATED AS TITLE ONE.
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, HIGH SCHOOLS WEREN'T GETTING TITLE ONE FUNDS.
I MAY BE WRONG ON THAT, BUT I THINK I'M CORRECT.
BUT THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO RAISE IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OPPORTUNITY GAPS, THE THING THAT I'M LOOKING AT THAT THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE A FOCUS IS THE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
BECAUSE THAT HIT ALL, THAT HIT ALL OF THE GROUPS.
AND I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE IF YOU CAN MAKE PARENTS AWARE EARLY ON, PARTICULARLY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE INFORMATION NEEDS TO NEEDS TO REALLY BE FOCUSED ON WHEN THOSE KIDS ARE LEAVING MIDDLE SCHOOL, GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL, KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE PROGRAMS THAT CAN BENEFIT STUDENTS AND THAT DOES LEAD TO PERFORMANCE.
CCMR I'M PRETTY HOPEFUL THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL AND MORE OF OUR KIDS ARE NOW AT THE LEVEL WHERE THEY MAY ACTUALLY EARN THEIR ASSOCIATES DEGREE THAT'S GOING TO HELP.
I WOULD I WOULD SAY THAT IF WE CAN REALLY, I GUESS, COMMUNICATE TO OUR PARENTS THAT, AGAIN, THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE AND I GUESS DO A GREAT JOB OF TRACKING THEM, ENCOURAGING THEM TO TAKE THAT TSI, TO TAKE THE PSAT, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND THEN I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION.
AND SO, YES, WE ARE A TSI TESTING SITE AT EVERY CAMPUS.
AND PARTICULARLY I KNOW THAT CAMPUSES ARE TESTING MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE MONTH.
AND SO IF YOU DIDN'T GET IT THIS MONTH, YOU GOT AN OPPORTUNITY NEXT MONTH, TEACHERS TRYING TO REMEDIATE AND SUPPORT STUDENTS AND THEN THEY GET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT FOLLOWING MONTH. SO AS IT STANDS, IF A STUDENT WALKS UP TO THEIR COUNSELOR AND SAYS, I'M READY TO PASS THAT, I'M READY TO GO, WE CAN GET THAT KID SIGNED UP IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THEM TAKING THE TEST IN NO TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MS. BIRD. THANK YOU, SIR.
SO THE STUDENTS THAT ARE TAKING THE CERTIFICATION COURSES, DO WE KNOW A PERCENTAGE OR HOW MANY THAT GO THROUGH THE WHOLE COURSEWORK AND THEN ACTUALLY TEST TO GET A CERTIFICATION AT THE END? ARE WE SEEING A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY TESTING TO GET THAT CERTIFICATION OR WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? SO WE DO HAVE KIDS THAT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND DO NOT TEST.
AND THAT'S WE KIND OF HAVE THE SAME THING WITH AP.
I DON'T HAVE EXACT NUMBERS AND I CAN GET THOSE FOR YOU, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
[01:10:04]
LET'S GET TO THE FINISH LINE AND TAKE THAT CERTIFICATION SO THAT YOU CAN CAPITALIZE ON IT.WHERE ARE THOSE CERTIFICATIONS USUALLY TAKING THE TEST OR ARE THEY DONE AT THE SCHOOL OR ARE THEY DONE AT A SEPARATE TESTING SITE? OR IS IT KIND OF DEPEND ON THE CERTIFICATION? THAT PIECE.
THE MAJORITY OF THE TESTS ARE TAKEN AT BEN BARBER.
OKAY. THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE SKILLS BASED THAT THEY MAY DO ONSITE.
BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TESTING DOES OCCUR AT THE BEN BARBER CAMPUS.
AND SO THOSE THOSE HAPPEN THERE AT THE HOME CAMPUS.
MS. YOUNG IF I'M REMEMBERING RIGHT THE METRIC THAT WE USE IS THE IN THOSE TERMINAL CLASSES AND THOSE CERTIFICATION CLASSES IS THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS THAT GETS THE CERTIFICATION, NOT THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO ATTEMPT THE TEST.
CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. PRINCIPAL HUDGINS, SHE DOESN'T JUST TELL US THE PERCENTAGE OF KIDS THAT PASS THE TEST IF THEY HAVE 100 KIDS IN THE CLASS AND I'M NOT GOOD WITH NUMBERS, SO I JUST CAME UP WITH A MATH PROBLEM, AND I CAN'T EVEN PUT THE NUMBERS TOGETHER.
SORRY. YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO WORK FROM 100.
SHE MEASURES THEIR SUCCESS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF KIDS IN CLASS.
SO IF ONLY TEN KIDS TAKE THE TEST AND ALL TEN PASS IT, IT'S NOT 100%.
WE LOOK AT THE ROOT CAUSE OF WHY AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO ENCOURAGE THAT? ANOTHER THING THAT WE'VE DONE THIS YEAR WITH BIM, WHICH IS A BUSINESS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT CLASS AT THE HOME CAMPUS, WE BOUGHT 500 TEST LICENSE FOR EACH HOME CAMPUS. SO WE HAD SOME KIDS TEST NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AT THE END OF FIRST SEMESTER.
SO WE'RE GIVING THEM MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES IN SOME CASES.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. I THINK YOU'VE HEARD FROM US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM WITH THIS.
AND I DO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T DON'T FORGET TO MENTION THE TEACHERS THAT ARE IN THESE PROGRAMS. THESE CTE TEACHERS AND STUFF ARE JUST INCREDIBLE.
AND THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE TEACHERS TRYING TO TEACH SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO.
THESE ARE REALLY PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE THIS IN THE WORLD, REAL LIFE.
IT'S QUITE INCREDIBLE AND THEY'RE PRETTY POWERFUL MOTIVATORS AND TEACHERS.
SO, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THE DISTRICT DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB OF BRINGING THOSE FOLKS IN.
I GUESS WHAT YOU HEAR FROM US IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SHOUTING IT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP AND THAT PARENTS KNOW BECAUSE THEY'RE SOMETIMES THE ONES, TO MR. DAVIS'S POINT, TRYING TO ADVOCATE TO THEIR KIDS TO FIND THEIR WAY, AS WELL AS KIDS KIND OF BEING PERKED UP WITH A LITTLE INFORMATION AS WELL.
I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE THAT AND CLOSE OUT ON THAT ONE.
ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 8.1 PRESENTATION, DR.
SCOTT. WELL, YOU SEE ALL OF THE ROOFTOPS GOING UP ALL AROUND US.
[8. Presentation ]
SO MR. CASH IS HERE WITH HIS TEAM TO TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS FOR MANSFIELD ISD.DR. SCOTT, MS. NEWSOM BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
AS DR. SCOTT SAID, THERE ARE HOUSES GOING UP EVERYWHERE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED A COMPANY OR SOMEBODY THAT TRACKS THAT THOSE TRENDS.
AND SO WE HAVE SOMEBODY HERE TODAY TO PRESENT OUR DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT.
IT DOES SAY UP THERE, ZONDA EDUCATION.
THAT IS THE SAME TEMPLETON DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST.
AND SO DON'T THINK WE'VE GONE CRAZY WITH THE ZONDA EDUCATION, BUT IT IS THE SAME PEOPLE.
SO LET ME INTRODUCE TRENT SMITH.
HE IS WITH ZONDA AND HE'S GOING TO PROVIDE THE REPORT FOR YOU.
PRESIDENT NEWSOM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
DR. SCOTT, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.
I'M GOING TO REVIEW YOUR FOURTH QUARTER DEMOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HOUSING MARKET AND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE INSIDE THE DISTRICT.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT YOUR TEN YEAR FORECAST.
SO WE'LL GET STARTED WITH THAT.
SO OFF THE BAT, YOU CAN SEE THE HOUSING HAS CONTINUED TO RISE IN VALUE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.
AND SO A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE VALUES INSIDE THE DISTRICT.
[01:15:04]
SAME THING WITH YOUR EXISTING HOMES.YOU CAN SEE THAT TREND LINE AND THAT TREND LINE.
I EXPECT THAT TREND LINE TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE YOU STAND, KIND OF WHAT KIND OF GROWTH ARE YOU SEEING IN COMPARISON TO OTHER DISTRICTS INSIDE THE DFW MARKET? RIGHT NOW? YOU'RE ABOUT 17TH IN ANNUAL CLOSING.
SO THAT'S THAT FOURTH COLUMN THERE WHERE YOU SEE THE 932.
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE 932 NEW HOUSES THAT NEW FAMILIES ARE LIVING IN INSIDE THE DISTRICT.
AND SO JUST TO THE LEFT OF THAT, YOU HAD 151 STARTS.
AND SO WHEN THEY GO BY AND THEY SEE THAT THERE'S A FOUNDATION BEING LAID THAT COUNTS AS A START.
AND SO WE HAVE 1151 STARTS IN 2021.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO USE 2021 SINCE THIS IS FOURTH QUARTER DATA AND THEN YOUR INVENTORY, WHICH IS YOUR UNDER-CONSTRUCTION MODEL HOMES AND FINISHED VACANT HOMES IS ABOUT 854.
THAT IS A LOT THAT'S READY TO BUILD ON TODAY.
SO IT'S GOT STREETS, UTILITIES, EVERYTHING'S THERE READY TO GO.
AND SO THAT'S A VACANT DEVELOPED LOT RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAVE ALMOST TWO YEARS WORTH OF VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS, WHICH IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE SUPPLY WISE, TO CONTINUE THE TYPE OF GROWTH THAT YOU'RE SEEING AT THAT 1,000 TO 1200 HOMES A YEAR.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER 6500 FUTURES THAT WE KNOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
PLUS, YOU STILL HAVE SOME SOME VACANT LAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
SO YOU'VE STILL GOT SOME MORE ROOM TO GROW EVEN PAST THAT 6500.
BUT A FUTURE IS EITHER RAW LAND OR IT'S IN THE WORKS FROM RAW LAND INTO THOSE VACANT DEVELOP LOTS.
SO THAT'S A FUTURE LOT THAT HAS BEEN IN SOME KIND OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OR SOME KIND OF MASTER PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A NUMBER ABOUT HOW MANY LOTS ARE GOING TO BE IN THAT SPACE IN THE FUTURE.
AND SO THIS IS LOOKING AT THE DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.
THIS YEAR YOU HAVE RECORD NUMBER OF STARTS IN THE DISTRICT WITH OVER 150 STARTS INSIDE THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AND THEN YOU'VE GOT 932 CLOSES, WHICH WE KIND OF WENT OVER IN THAT LAST CHART.
AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE THIS MONTH, BUT IT'LL BE DIFFERENT NEXT MONTH.
IT'S A DIFFERENT THING EVERY MONTH.
AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE HEARING THAT THESE ENORMOUS AREAS, THEY'RE GOING DOWN LANE 300 LOTS, BUT THEY CAN'T GET THE LOTS APPROVED OR RELEASED BY THE CITY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS TO HAVE ELECTRICITY TO THESE LOTS.
SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
WE REALLY DON'T EXPECT THAT SUPPLY CHAIN TO BE HEALTHY FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR, PROBABLY INTO THE SUMMER OF 2023 IS WHAT WE'RE HEARING WHEN WE MIGHT GET BACK INTO A HEALTHY SUPPLY CHAIN PLACE.
AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE DISTRICT.
AND THIS IS A HEAT MAP SHOWING YOU WHERE THE MOST STARTS HAVE BEEN BY ELEMENTARY ZONE.
IF IT'S ORANGE, THAT'S 50 TO 100.
IF IT'S YELLOW, THAT MEANS LESS THAN 50.
YOU'VE ALSO HAD QUITE A FEW IN DALTON UP THERE.
AND THEN ON THE NORTH SIDE YOU'VE GOT ONE UP THERE AS WELL THAT'S BEEN OVER 50 THERE AS WELL.
SO AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE THE DOTS THAT ARE ON THERE BY SIZE, YOU KNOW, OVER 100 STARTS IN SUMMER.
SUMMERSET ADDITION, SOUTH POINT ALSO HAD OVER 100 STARTS INSIDE THAT ONE ADDITION.
AND SO THOSE ARE THE ONES DRIVING THOSE NUMBERS INSIDE NORWOOD AND THEN OVERALL THOUGH, YOU CAN SEE YOUR TOP TEN OVER THERE IN THE TABLE AND YOUR TOP TEN REPRESENTED ABOUT 80% OF YOUR OVERALL CLOSINGS IN THE LAST YEAR ARE REPRESENTED IN THOSE TEN SUBDIVISIONS INSIDE THE DISTRICT. AND LOOKING AT THE NEXT.
SO THAT WAS WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST YEAR.
NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S COMING IN THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS.
[01:20:02]
SO THIS IS YOUR VACANT DEVELOPED LOT INVENTORY.SO THAT'S WHERE YOUR VACANT DEVELOP LOTS ARE WITH M3 RANCH GETTING STARTED, YOU'VE GOT THE OAKS PRESERVE, THEY'RE BOTH IN PERRY AND YOU'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT FOUR DIFFERENT AREAS INSIDE NORWOOD.
AND SO THERE'S GOING TO BE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GROWTH CONTINUING IN THOSE TWO ELEMENTARY ZONES AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE SOME OF THE OTHER ONES ARE ACROSS THE DISTRICT, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING THE MAJORITY OF THE GROWTH INSIDE THE DISTRICT OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS.
SO YOU'VE GOT A VERY DISTINCT DISTRICT KIND OF EVOLUTION THAT'S HAPPENING.
AND SO BUT THEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE, YOU'RE STILL GROWING AT A TREMENDOUS RATE.
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT IT.
AND SO THIS IS AN OVERVIEW MAP SHOWING YOU WHERE THOSE ACTIVE SUBDIVISIONS ARE.
AND THEN THE YELLOW, THE ONES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ACTUALLY ARE YOUR FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS.
AND IF THEY ARE OUTLINED IN RED, THAT MEANS THEY'VE GOT GROUND WORK UNDERWAY.
AND SO THOSE SOME OF THOSE FUTURES ARE BEING TURNED INTO LOTS AS WE GO.
RIGHT NOW, THE DISTRICT HAS 47 ACTIVELY BUILDING SUBDIVISIONS INSIDE THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY.
YOU'VE GOT 22 FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS.
AND THEN YOU'VE ALSO GOT WHICH REPRESENT THAT 6500 LOTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
AND RIGHT NOW, YOUR OVERALL DISTRICT YIELD FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IS ABOUT 0.63.
AND SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU GET ABOUT 63 KIDS OUT OF EVERY 100 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
SO YOU'VE GOT M3 RANCHES, ABOUT 1700 TOTAL LOTS THERE.
STILL 1300 OF THOSE ARE STILL FUTURES, 314 VACANT DEVELOP LOTS.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY JUST NOW STARTING TO GET SOME OF THEIR RESIDENTS AND SO THEY'RE JUST NOW YOU KNOW HAVING KIDS BE INSIDE THAT INSIDE THE HOMES THERE.
PHASE TWO WITH TWO SECTIONS OF 490 TOTAL LOTS.
AND THEY, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE RIGHT IN PHASE AND WE'RE LOOKING THEY'LL LIKELY BUILD ABOUT 150 TO 200 HOMES A YEAR AS THEY CONTINUE TO GROW. AND YOU'VE GOT BIRDSONG, WHICH IS JUST TO THE SOUTH AT THE NORTH END OF NORWOOD ATTENDANCE ZONE.
731 TOTAL LOTS THERE WITH 616 STILL IN THE FUTURE STAGE.
FIRST 115 VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS SO THEY'RE JUST NOW GETTING STARTED ON CONSTRUCTION THERE.
SO THESE BOTH REALLY ARE BRAND NEW SUBDIVISIONS INSIDE THE DISTRICT.
AND SO THE WEST SECTION IS 193 LOTS.
AND YOU'VE GOT WILLOW BRANCH, ABOUT 287 ACRES THERE.
BUT WE DO EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
SO WE ALSO KEEP TRACK OF MULTIFAMILY.
AND SO RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE ABOUT 2400 NON-AGE RESTRICTED MULTIFAMILY UNITS INSIDE THE DISTRICT WITH ROUGHLY 1300 FUTURES THAT ARE ON THEIR WAY.
IN FACT, YOUR OVERALL YIELD INSIDE THE DISTRICT IS ABOUT 0.37.
[01:25:02]
MULTIFAMILY UNIT IT IS.SO I'M GOING TO LOOK AT I KIND OF WANT TO SHOW YOU THE YIELD SEPARATION THAT HAPPENS IN THESE MULTIFAMILY UNITS BASED ON WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED AND WHAT TYPE OF MULTIFAMILY UNIT THEY ARE. AND SO THESE THREE UNITS YOU CAN SEE HAVE A VERY HIGH YIELD.
SO RUSH CREEK APARTMENTS, ARTISAN AT RUSH CREEK AND PARKLAND POINTE ALL HAVE YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT 248 UNITS THERE AT RUSH CREEK WITH 292 CURRENT STUDENTS.
SO THEY'RE ABOVE ONE SO 1.17, 1.18.
SO VERY HIGH ALMOST 1.4 THERE AT AT ARTISAN.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT PARKLAND POINTE, WHICH 250 UNITS WITH 262 STUDENTS, 1.048 SO THESE ARE ALL VERY HIGH YIELDING UNITS INSIDE THE DISTRICT WHERE YOU HAVE YOU'VE GOT SOME SUBSIDIZED APARTMENTS INSIDE THESE.
SO THEY'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE KIND FOR THOSE WHO ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED.
AND SO IN THOSE APARTMENTS, YOU TEND TO HAVE A MUCH HIGHER YIELD OF NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO USUALLY BUILT WITH MORE BEDROOMS THAN MANY OF THE LIFESTYLE UNITS.
AND SO THAT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE KIDS IN THOSE APARTMENT UNITS AS WELL.
BUILT IN 2017, ONLY 55 STUDENTS IN THOSE 305 UNITS.
SO VERY MUCH LOWER YIELD AT 1.18 OR A 360.
700 UNITS THERE WITH 112 STUDENTS, AGAIN BELOW 0.2.
AND YOU'VE GOT [INAUDIBLE] WITH 275 UNITS AND ONLY 41 STUDENTS THERE.
SO NOW LOOKING AT OVERALL TEN YEAR FORECAST THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE THAT TOP SECTION IS YOUR LAST FIVE YEARS OF ENROLLMENT HISTORY.
SO THE WHITE SECTION ARE PREVIOUS YEARS.
THE ORANGE IS THIS YEAR'S ENROLLMENT.
AND THIS IS BASED ON SNAPSHOT DATA.
SO ALL OF THE PAST YEARS ARE ALL BASED ON SNAPSHOT DATA AS WELL AS THAT SECTION IN THE ORANGE.
AND SO WE WERE COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES.
SO ALL OF OUR FUTURE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON WHERE WE EXPECT YOU TO BE IN OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUR LARGEST CLASS OF THE DISTRICT EACH YEAR OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
THEN YOU'VE GOT THE GREEN, WHICH IS YOUR SECOND LARGEST CLASS OF THE DISTRICT.
NOW, WHY DO WE HAVE WHY IS THE FRESHMAN CLASS ALWAYS SO HIGH? WELL, IT'S A PHENOMENON THAT HAPPENS IN BASICALLY EVERY LARGE DISTRICT OR EVEN MEDIUM SIZED DISTRICT ACROSS THE STATE.
WHAT WE HAVE IN THERE ARE YOUR FRESHMORES.
AND SO THAT IS BASICALLY EVERY DISTRICT THAT I WORK WITH, THIS IS WHAT WE SEE.
AND SO LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR, THIS YEAR, YOU GREW 388 STUDENTS.
NEXT YEAR, I'M EXPECTING YOU TO GROW 375 STUDENTS THE FOLLOWING YEAR, ONLY 205.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE FROM THE SENIOR CLASS OF NEXT YEAR VERSUS THE SENIOR CLASS OF THAT YEAR OF 25, 23, 24. THERE'S A HUGE 160 STUDENTS SWING JUST IN THAT CLASS SIZE.
SO CLASS SIZES DO CHANGE AND THEY CREATE WAVES THROUGH THE DISTRICT.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S INTERESTING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOUR EIGHTH GRADE CLASS AT ALMOST 3,000 KIDS BECAUSE NEXT YEAR THEY'RE LIKELY GOING TO BE THE LARGEST FRESHMAN CLASS FOR THE DISTRICT YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
WE'RE EXPECTING TO BE 3,400 STUDENTS FOR YOUR FRESHMAN CLASS NEXT YEAR.
SO THIS YEAR YOU HAVE A PRETTY LARGE SENIOR CLASS AT 28, AT 28 19.
AND SO ALL OF THOSE FACTORS COME INTO PLAY.
[01:30:03]
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S HAPPENING, AND I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE IN YOUR HOUSING IS YOU HAVE THE NORTHERN SIDE OF YOUR DISTRICT THAT IS MUCH, MUCH CLOSER TO MATURITY WHERE THERE'S LESS DEVELOPMENT GOING ON.AND SO THEIR CHILDREN ARE STARTING TO GRADUATE AND THEY DON'T HAVE AS MANY KINDERGARTNERS COMING IN.
AND SO WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE ON THIS CHART IS THAT YOU CAN LOOK DOWN THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS AND SEE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE AS MANY KINDERGARTNERS COMING IN AS YOU DO GRADUATING SENIORS AT THE MOMENT.
AND A BIG AND THAT'S A BIG REASON WHY WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING 1000 HOMES A YEAR, WHY YOU'RE ONLY GETTING 3 TO 400 STUDENTS OF GROWTH BECAUSE YOU'RE SWIMMING UPSTREAM. YOU'RE HAVING TO AND RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NOT HAVING AS MANY KINDERGARTNERS AS YOU ARE GRADUATING.
AND SO THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
IN FACT, WHEN YOU LOOK AT 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 2300 KINDERGARTNERS AND ONLY 25 AND 2,500 12TH GRADERS. AND SO THAT'S A 200 STUDENT GAP JUST IN THAT DIFFERENCE.
AND SO IF YOU WERE TO ADD 200 MORE STUDENTS INTO THAT MIX, YOU'D BE UP OVER 400 STUDENTS OF GROWTH.
BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE SWIMMING UPHILL, IT APPEARS THAT YOU'RE NOT GROWING AS FAST AS YOU REALLY ARE.
AND SO THAT WILL HELP ALONG THE WAY AS WELL.
BUT REALLY, THAT'S WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF GROWTH THAT YOU'RE SEEING VERSUS THE AMOUNT OF HOUSING THAT YOU'RE SEEING, IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE NOT GROWING AT THE CORRECT RATE, BUT TRULY YOU'RE SWIMMING UPHILL AND YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU WERE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP WITH THAT NUMBER, YOU COULD SEE YOU COULD BE GROWING TO 5 600 STUDENTS IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT DIFFERENCE IN YOUR FRESH IN YOUR SENIOR CLASS VERSUS YOUR KINDERGARTEN CLASS.
SO NOW WE'LL LOOK AT IT BY CAMPUS.
AND OVERALL IN YOUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES, YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL AS FAR AS CAPACITY GOES.
REALLY, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THIS SLIDES, ALL OF THAT GROWTH IN PERRY AND NORWOOD IS GOING TO CONTINUE AND THOSE ARE EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET UP OVER CAPACITY, BUT NOT UNTIL OUT IN 26-27 OR 27-28 WHEN THEY STARTED HITTING, YOU KNOW, 800 TO 1000 KIDS IN THOSE TWO PARTICULAR SCHOOLS.
AND THEN LOOKING AT THE SECONDARY CAMPUSES AND THE INTERMEDIATE CAMPUSES, VERY SIMILAR PATTERN WHERE YOU'RE STARTING SOME OF THOSE NORTHERN SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE QUITE AS MUCH CAPACITY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE AGING OUT.
AND BUT WITH MARTINEZ BEING IN THAT PERRY NORWOOD AREA, THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW TO GET OUT, YOU KNOW, THE YEAR 30-31 WHERE IT'S GOING TO GET OVER 1200 STUDENTS THERE.
BUT THEN IT'S GOING TO START IT'S GOING TO START ACTUALLY DROPPING A LITTLE BIT.
AND SO THAT'S GOING TO LEVEL OUT A LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT'S GOING TO PICK BACK UP AS SOME OF THE SOME OF THOSE ELEMENTARIES AND THINGS GET SOME REGENERATION COMING THROUGH.
AND SO DOWN THE ROAD, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 2500 THERE.
THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT LAKE RIDGE, WHICH IS 2600, CONTINUING TO GROW UP OVER 3000, GETTING ALMOST TO 3200 AND THEN HITTING 3200 AROUND 2829 AND THEN STARTING TO FADE BACK DOWN TO 30 TO 3000.
AND THEN AT LEGACY, ALSO HITTING OVER 2,500 OUT IN 24-25, GETTING UP TO AS MUCH AS 2700 AND THEN KIND OF LEVELING OFF AT THAT 2650 NUMBER.
AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS TILL YOU GET OUT TO ABOUT 30, 29 OR 30 WHERE IT STARTS TO LEVEL OFF RIGHT AT ABOUT JUST OVER 4500. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT TIMBER VIEW, VERY SIMILAR TO THAT, IT'S STARTING ALSO AT AT THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF OF IT'S ALSO MATURING OUT.
AND SO YOU'VE GOT THAT AREA DWINDLING DOWN TO ABOUT 1500 BY THE TIME YOU GET TEN YEARS OUT.
ALL RIGHT. SO OVERALL, STILL CONTINUING TO GROW.
[01:35:06]
HOME CLOSINGS ARE LAGGING BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE LENGTHY BUILDING TIME AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS. YOU DO HAVE 47 ACTIVE BUILDING SUBDIVISION WITH 1900 LOTS VACANT DEVELOP LOTS AVAILABLE.SO THAT'S A NICE TWO YEAR SUPPLY.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY PRETTY WELL AHEAD OF A LOT OF THE AREAS THAT WE WORK WITH.
YOU GET 22 FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS, WHICH ADDS UP TO OVER 6400 FUTURE LOTS.
SO THAT CHAIN, THAT SUPPLY CHAIN IS CONTINUING TO GO AS FAR AS DELIVERING LOTS GOES.
SO I DO EXPECT YOU TO ENROLL OVER 37,000 STUDENTS BY THE TIME YOU GET TO 26, 27 AND OVER 38,500 BY THE TIME YOU GET OUT TO 31, 32. ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IN PARTICULARLY HOW IT IMPACTS YIELDS.
YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
WHAT DOES IT DO WHEN WE SEE COUPLED WITH RISING INTEREST RATES, WHICH ARE GOING TO INCREASE MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND GET MORE AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE? WHAT DOES IT DO TO THAT YIELD THAT WE LOOK AT? I MEAN, I HAVE TO THINK Y'ALL TAKE THAT KIND OF THING INTO CONSIDERATION, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT WE'RE IN NOW.
SO THOSE HOMES THAT ARE NOW AT 400,000 ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, A JUMP UP HOME.
THEY'RE MOVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
MY SECOND QUESTION WOULD BE ABOUT YOUR ABSORPTIONS.
I MEAN, THE NUMBERS THAT YOU PRESENT ON THIS LAST THING HERE.
BUT WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WE'RE APPROVING TOO MANY SUBDIVISIONS IN THIS TOWN RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT'S NOT A, THAT'S A QUESTION.
I KNOW THAT'S NOT YOU'RE POINT. MORE FOR YOUR CITY COUNCIL.
THE ABSORPTIONS WORRY ME A LITTLE BIT AND I MEAN, I JUST I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED YOUR OPINION.
IT'S REALLY NOT YOUR PLACE TO DO THAT.
SURE. I THINK THAT I THINK THAT RIGHT NOW THE ECONOMY IN DFW IS SO STRONG AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE MOVING IN FROM OUT OF STATE. THE MIGRATION LEVEL IS SO HIGH BECAUSE THESE CORPORATE COMPANIES ARE MOVING FROM CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, FLORIDA, ALL THESE DIFFERENT PLACES, AND THEY'RE PAYING CASH FOR THESE HOMES.
AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT ABSORPTION.
NO, TEXAS IS THE NUMBER ONE DESTINATION RIGHT NOW FOR MIGRATION.
AND IT HAS TO DO A LOT WITH THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS THAT ARE MOVING HERE AND AND MANUFACTURING.
IT'S NOT JUST CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.
IT'S ALSO MANUFACTURING FACILITIES.
IT TAKES US ALL THE WAY TO CHICAGO AND INTO CANADA.
SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE MAJOR FACTORS FOR THE DFW MARKET.
WE'RE ALSO A VERY DIVERSE ECONOMY, SO WE'RE NOT RELIANT ON ONE THING OR ANOTHER.
HOUSTON IS NOT AS LUCKY WITH THAT, BUT THEY'RE GROWING IN DIVERSITY.
BUT SO THE STATE OF TEXAS IS REALLY IN GREAT SHAPE.
AND EVEN IF YOU LOOK BACK INTO 2006 TO 2008 IN THE CRASH THAT HAPPENED THEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN MOST OF THE COUNTRY WAS HITTING THIS ENORMOUS HIGH AND THEN THEY CAME OFF A CLIFF AND REALLY JUST CAME TUMBLING DOWN.
OURS WAS MORE OF A HILL AND A MUCH SMALLER DROP.
[01:40:01]
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A SIMILAR I BELIEVE THAT'LL BE A SIMILAR CASE IN THE FUTURE FOR TEXAS.MR. SNEED. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF INITIAL THOUGHTS I HAD IN TAKING A LOOK AT THE DATA THAT YOU JUST PRESENTED.
ONE IS A CONCERN ABOUT OUR NORTHERN AREA AND POTENTIAL AGING OUT OF SOME OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND WHAT THAT MAY DO TO OUR DISTRICT AS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
AND THEN TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR PROJECTIONS AND THE NEXT TEN YEARS, IT APPEARS THAT SOME OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE ABOVE CAPACITY.
SO MY QUESTION REALLY IS FOR [INAUDIBLE] WHAT IS THE WHAT WHAT WAS THE BUILDING CAPACITY FOR EACH OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WHEN THEY WERE DESIGNED? SO THE PRACTICAL CAPACITY FOR EACH ONE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS IS 2500.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IS HOW BEN BARBER FACTORS INTO THAT.
SO OUR CAPACITY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IS 2,500.
AND YOU SEE THE ENROLLMENTS ARE HIGH.
BUT ONE THING IS THE KIDS ARE NOT ALWAYS THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN BARBER AT THAT TIME.
SO THE PRACTICAL CAPACITY IS 2500.
BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN BARBER, WE CAN RUN ABOVE THE CAPACITY OR THE DESIGN CAPACITY.
GOOD POINT. [INAUDIBLE] I WANT TO ARGUE THAT POINT.
BUT IF YOU YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU HAVE DISCUSSED POTENTIAL SITUATIONS WHERE IF OUR SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO GROW.
IN SOME AREAS AND STARTED TO LAG BEHIND IN SOME AREAS THAT THERE MAY HAVE TO BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
AND AGAIN, SO MY INITIAL THOUGHTS HAD TO DO WITH THE SCHOOLS AGING OUT.
AND USUALLY WHEN SCHOOLS AGE OUT, THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT AT AN ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE LEVEL TO MAINTAIN OR YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS SUCH AS ATTENDANCE ZONES, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND THEN WHAT MR. KENNEDY MENTIONED IS WHEN THE COST FOR HOUSING GOES UP OR HOMES GO UP, IT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUNG FAMILIES WHO MAY MOVE INTO MOVING TO THE AREA.
AND I THINK THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT AS A DISTRICT, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE FACT THAT, YES, PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THEY'RE KIDS THAT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY BE BUYING THOSE HOMES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? TO MY LEFT. MS. MARCUCCI. THIS ONE, I THINK, IS PROBABLY MORE FOR DR.
CANTU. CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW SCHOOLS OF CHOICE MAY AFFECT THESE NUMBERS, TOO, BECAUSE THIS IS BASED ON ZONING, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, IT STILL MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUDY, BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING THIS YEAR IS THAT WE DID HAVE MORE APPLICANTS THAN WE HAD SPOTS IN THESE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF CHOICE.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT ENROLLMENT REPORT THAT'S PROVIDED FOR US EVERY MONTH IS IMPORTANT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY LOOK AT AND SO TO SPEAK, TO MR. SNEED POINT AND I LOOK AT THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT FOR SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THE I MEAN, THEY'RE IN ARLINGTON, A LOT OF THEM ARE. THAT OPENS UP, I THINK, SOME MORE POSSIBILITIES OF SOME SCHOOLS OF CHOICE.
RIGHT. SO MAYBE SOME OF OUR KIDS WOULD WANT TO MOVE INTO THOSE AREAS AND ATTEND SCHOOL THERE.
THAT'S JUST ONE IDEA TO LOOK AT.
AND I'M SURE THAT YOU ALL WILL CONSIDER THAT MOVING FORWARD.
BUT I JUST I WANT TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING THROUGH THE LENS OF OPPORTUNITY.
YES. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS WE CAN.
RIGHT. AND WHAT THAT MEANS AND ALSO PUTTING THAT THROUGH THE LENS OF SCHOOL OF CHOICE.
[01:45:04]
PLACES FOR DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES? AND JUST OUT OF MY CURIOSITY, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN WE MIGHT PRESENT A RESPONSE TO THIS? I MEAN, WHEN THE BOARD MIGHT START TALKING ABOUT THOSE POSSIBILITIES AGAIN? BECAUSE I KNOW TYPICALLY YOU ALL WILL PRESENT DATA TO THE BOARD, HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATION AND ENGAGE AND REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DATA BECAUSE IT CAME FAST AND FURIOUS. I'M JUST LOOKING AT HIM, I SEE THAT.RIGHT, I WOULD SAY WE WANT TO GET THROUGH GRADUATION.
AND THEN I THINK. NO, I MEAN I MEAN, NO, JUST WRAPPING UP THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TIME TO DIVE INTO THE STATE AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SPEND A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TIME WITH IT THIS SUMMER WHILE WE'RE WORKING.
AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK WITH SOMETHING VERY SOON.
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF DATA PROVIDED TO US OVER THE YEARS.
THIS IS MY NINTH YEAR ON THE BOARD AND I FEEL LIKE Y'ALL HAVE DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU. AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT COULD CORROBORATE THAT.
I MEAN, JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF SOME OF THESE PROJECTIONS, THAT Y'ALL PUT TOGETHER, JUST LIKE DISTRICTS HAVE STRUGGLED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH COVID, IT'S BEEN OBVIOUSLY THROWN CURVEBALL AT EVERY DEMOGRAPHIC FIRM OR PERSON OF ANY LEVEL.
SO WHEN COVID HIT THE NEXT YEAR, WE LOST 122,000 KIDS OUT OF THE STATE PUBLIC EDUCATION.
IT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT WE'VE GONE NEGATIVE.
THIS YEAR, WE GREW BACK 55,000 STUDENTS, WHICH IS OUR NORMAL GROWTH.
SO WE'RE STILL MISSING 122,000 KIDS.
AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I FEEL A LITTLE LESS CONFIDENT IN EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
BUT I THINK THAT'S I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
I APPRECIATE THAT HONESTY, TOO, YOU KNOW, IN THEIR RESPONSE AS WELL.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH THAT CAN VARY FROM DIFFERENT PLACES.
CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE? SO LIKE IF I WANTED TO IF I WERE ON CITY COUNCIL AND WANTED TO BRING SOME MULTIFAMILY HOUSING TO A PARTICULAR AREA, THAT MAY BE PRETTY CROWDED RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS THE SCHOOLS ARE. BUT I WANTED TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AS MR. KENNEDY SUGGESTED.
WHAT KIND OF HOUSING UNIT WOULD I WANT TO BUILD? MULTIFAMILY HOUSING UNIT WOULD I BUILD SO THAT IT DOESN'T NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AS MUCH AS? SURE. SO OTHERS.
MOST MULTIFAMILY UNITS START OUT AS A CLASS A OR LUXURY APARTMENT, AND THAT'S USUALLY TARGETED TO A LIFESTYLE EITHER THAT'S EITHER 55 OR OLDER OR IT'S YOUNG ADULT, YOUNG PROFESSIONAL.
AND SO THOSE NORMALLY DO NOT HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF KIDS.
SO IF I WAS TRYING TO HELP THE DISTRICT, THEN THAT WOULD BE THE TYPE OF APARTMENT THAT I WOULD WANT TO BUILD AND BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE A MUCH LOWER IMPACT ON THE DISTRICT. AND MANY OF THOSE START OUT WITH LIKE 70 TO 75%, ONE BEDROOMS. AND SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY KIDS OUT OF THOSE ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS.
MOST APARTMENT COMPLEXES DON'T ALLOW THAT.
THAT WILL ALSO HELP YOU A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT TO EXPECT AS FAR AS NUMBER OF KIDS COMING OUT OF THERE.
HOW DOES AGE AFFECT THAT? BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, MOST APARTMENT COMPLEXES DON'T START OFF WITH GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW AGE AFFECTS THAT? SO NORMALLY WHAT WE'LL SEE IS IT TAKES ABOUT TEN OR 12 YEARS FOR IT TO START TO MOVE INTO A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION.
AND THEN IT ALSO THERE'S LOTS OF FACTORS.
BUT THE NUMBER OF ONE BEDROOM VERSUS TWO BEDROOM, THREE BEDROOM, THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE SAME.
[01:50:08]
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THOSE WERE JUST A FEW OF MY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD.THANK YOU. SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
BUT I DO KNOW THAT SOMETIMES NEW APARTMENT, MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS, THEY DO SUBSIDIZE AND MAKE PARTIAL SECTION EIGHT TO HELP KIND OF COVER COST AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO. IS THAT OLD INFORMATION OR IS THAT STILL ACCURATE INFORMATION, THAT NEW APARTMENTS CAN STILL DO THAT OUT OF THE BEGINNING RATHER THAN AT THE END? SURE. THEY DON'T DO IT.
AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF AN OPTION FOR THAT APARTMENT TO TRY TO GET, YOU KNOW, SEE HOW FULL THEY CAN GET RIGHT AS FAST AS THEY CAN. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, THE THE FULLER THEY ARE, THE MORE MONEY THEY'RE MAKING.
YOU'RE NOT SEEING AS MANY INCENTIVES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO.
THAT MAKES SENSE. MOVING TO THOSE MULTIFAMILY AREAS.
SO YOU'RE NOT SEEING AS MUCH OF THAT.
OKAY. AND I DO HAVE TO SAY, FROM BEING ON THE BOARD FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST EASY TO UNDERSTAND DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT WE'VE EVER HAD EVER IF YOU'VE EVER ENJOYED THOSE MEETINGS BEFORE.
THANK YOU. WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DRIVE AROUND IN MISD, YOU NOTICE THAT THE [INAUDIBLE] AREA IS STILL GREEN AND OPEN FIELDED.
WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THE SOUTH PART OF MANSFIELD, SO THAT'LL COME DOWN TO ZONING.
THERE'S A NEW BUILDING AREA ON DEBBIE LANE AND 360.
AND I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF HOUSING I THINK THAT IS.
IT'S NOT APARTMENTS, BUT IT'S.
AND I JUST WAS I DIDN'T SEE THAT IT WAS MARKED ON YOUR ON YOUR MAP.
TOWNHOMES. OKAY, MAYBE IT'S TOWNHOMES.
IT JUST WASN'T MARKED ON YOUR MAP.
WELL THANKS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW? HAVE A FLAT ON THAT? SO IT'S PROBABLY ON THIS MAP.
IF WE HAD A SLIDE ON IT. WELL, I JUST.
SO. WELL, WE HAVE THE INFORMATION ON IT BECAUSE I THINK I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
NO BIG DEAL. IN SUMMARY, THOUGH, IT'S THERE'S SO MANY VARIABLES.
AND I THINK WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION AND YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE IT. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. ALL RIGHTY.
MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 8.1 PRESENTATIONS.
THIS IS MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 9.1 DISCUSSIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THE BOARD MEMBER CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS [INAUDIBLE].
[9. Discussion ]
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION? SNEAK ATTACK.ALL MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS, AND WE DO THIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AT MEETINGS, AT CONVENTIONS.
[01:55:01]
WE CAN DO IT ONLINE, AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AND HAVE THIS SHARED OUT.I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT BOARD MEMBERS, YOU ALL NEED TO GO TO THE NTAASB MEETINGS, THE NORTH TEXAS AREA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST INEXPENSIVE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE'RE A PART OF.
AND IT'S REALLY GREAT NETWORKING.
AND YOU DO GET CONTINUING ED CREDIT FOR EVERY MEETING.
THEY HAVE FOUR MEETINGS A YEAR THAT ARE SOMEWHERE IN THE METROPLEX.
AND SO THAT'S MY PLUG FOR THAT ONE BECAUSE THAT'S SOME GOOD LOW COST QUALITY TRAINING.
SO I WILL WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO READ THE EXACT NUMBERS OR JUST THAT PEOPLE HAVE MET? JUST THE PEOPLE HAVE MET WITH YOU.
OKAY. THERE'S TOPIC ONE ARE COURSES THAT ARE REGULATED BY THE STATE.
THEY'RE JUST REQUIREMENTS AND ALL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MET THOSE.
MR. KENNEDY IS WORKING ON HIS LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.
AND MR. SNEED, HE SINCE HE WAS ALREADY A BOARD MEMBER, HE DID NOT HAVE TO RE-QUALIFY FOR SOME OF THOSE COURSES. TOPIC TWO IS OUR BOARD TEAM OF EIGHT TRAINING THAT ALL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MET THAT THIS YEAR. AND THE TOPIC THREE AND THESE ARE ALL DESIGNATED BY THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS AND ALL OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MET AND EXCEEDED.
I JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT DESIREE THOMAS HAS EARNED 56.5 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS AND KEZIAH FARRAR HAS EARNED 45 CREDITS AND KAREN MARCUCCI.
I'LL JUST READ THE TOP THREE AND HAD EARNED 28.75.
THEY ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO, AS A SEASONED BOARD MEMBER, TO EARN TEN CREDITS PER YEAR OF CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS AND KEZIAH BEING A FIRST YEAR BOARD MEMBER AND WARREN DAVIS, THEY WERE ONLY REQUIRED.
I'M SORRY I HAD THAT BACKWARDS.
FORGIVE ME. NEW BOARD MEMBERS HAVE TO EARN TEN CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS AND SEASONED BOARD MEMBERS ONLY NEED FIVE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY HAVE FAR EXCEEDED WHAT IS REQUIRED BY TEA AND THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS.
THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE]. I APPRECIATE IT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? WELL, WE WILL MOVE ON.
THIS MOVES US TO AGENDA ITEM 10.1 PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THE CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR ADDRESSING THE BOARD DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS IS AS FOLLOWS.
[10. Public Comments ]
EACH SPEAKER SHOULD ADDRESS THE BOARD FROM THE PODIUM MICROPHONE AND STATE HIS OR HER NAME BEFORE SPEAKING.COPIES OF THE PRESENTATION SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL TRUSTEES IN THE SUPERINTENDENT.
BOARD POLICY PROHIBITS THE DISCUSSION OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST DISTRICT EMPLOYEES DURING AN OPEN FORUM, WHILE SPEAKING INDIVIDUALS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE A THREE MINUTE TIMER IN FRONT OF THEM. WHEN THE TIMER REACHES 30 SECONDS, THE LIGHT WILL CHANGE YELLOW AND WHEN THE TIMER REACHES ZERO, THE LIGHT WILL BLINK RED AND WILL BEEP.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS [INAUDIBLE].
I WANTED TO INTRODUCE [INAUDIBLE] STUDENTS, [INAUDIBLE] STUDENTS WHO WANTED TO SHARE THE FINDINGS FROM THE PBL PROJECT WITH THE BOARD.
THEIR PROJECT ACTUALLY GOT RECOGNIZED AT GKSA JUST YESTERDAY, AND THEY WON SEVERAL AWARDS FOR ALL THE RESEARCH AND WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO PREPARE FOR THIS PBL PROJECT.
BUT BEFORE I TURN IT TO THEM, I JUST WANTED A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME.
I THINK THE PRESENTATION, WHICH REALLY IS A YOUNG LADY WHO WAS HERE A SECOND AGO DELIVERED, REALLY MADE ME THINK ABOUT FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY AND THAT ANYBODY WANTS TO BE TREATED EQUALLY.
[02:00:08]
THEY WANT TO BE TREATED AS ANY OTHER ISSUE WHICH THIS BOARD MAY ISSUE, WHICH MAY BE PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD.THEY WANT THE SAME RESPECT AND RECOGNITION AND DUE DILIGENCE FROM YOU AS THE BOARD MEMBERS.
THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING NEW.
THEY LITERALLY ARE ASKING TO CONTINUE SOMETHING THEY ARE ALREADY DOING.
THEY WANT TO ASK TO CONTINUE THE SPORT THAT THEY LOVE.
THEY ARE NOT ASKING FOR NEW RULES.
THEY MERELY ASKING FOR DISTRICTS TO ADOPT EXISTING RULES OR IN ONE CASE, TO ACTUALLY APPROPRIATELY APPLY A RULE WHICH WE BELIEVE RIGHT NOW DISTRICT DOESN'T EVEN COMPLY THIS.
THEY ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE DISTRICT TO JUST GIVE IT TO THEM.
THEY'RE ASKING TO HAVE TRYOUTS FOR THE UIL TEAMS THEY WANT.
RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY OUT.
THEY'RE NOT ASKING TO PUT THEM ON A TEAM.
THEY LITERALLY JUST ASKING FOR A CHANCE TO TRY OUT.
THEY WANT TO HELP THE DISTRICT TO SOLVE THOSE ISSUES.
THEY'RE OFFERING THEIR VIEWS, THEY RESEARCH TO HELP YOU SOLVE IT.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR A DIALOGUE.
THEY WANT TO HAVE AN AUDIENCE WITH YOU TO HELP YOU SOLVE IT.
YOU AREN'T THE MOST INNOVATIVE DISTRICT.
I LOVE THIS DISTRICT LIKE MY KIDS ARE IN THIS DISTRICT.
I MEAN, THIS DISTRICT IS MY FAMILY.
YOUR INNOVATIVE DISTRICT, YOUR PROGRESSIVE DISTRICT.
AND I REALLY WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT POLICIES WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FIVE YEARS AGO, TEN YEARS AGO, AND THINK ABOUT THE GROWTH WHICH THIS DISTRICT IS GOING THROUGH.
THINK ABOUT THE GROWTH AND POWER OF CHOICE SCHOOLS AND WHAT THOSE KIDS, THOSE NEXT GENERATION KIDS WILL REQUIRE IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS, NOT WHAT THEY NEEDED TEN YEARS AGO.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOUR TIME IS UP.
THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JACOB [INAUDIBLE].
COULD PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
AND HE SENT THIS LETTER, I THINK, TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO. AND LET'S BE HONEST, NO ONE READ IT.
HELLO AND GOOD EVENING MISD ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.
MY NAME IS CHRISTINE [INAUDIBLE] AND I'M A LEARNER AT [INAUDIBLE] STEM ACADEMY.
I'M SPEAKING IN REGARDS TO PLAYING SPORTS, IN MY CASE, TENNIS AT MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL.
WHILE A STUDENT IN FRONTIER HIGH SCHOOL.
PEOPLE SAY THAT THIS DISTRICT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF INNOVATION, A DESTINATION DISTRICT.
BUT WE HAVE BEEN DENIED TOO MANY TIMES TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS AT HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
WE SHOULDN'T ALL HAVE TO SUFFER FROM THIS.
I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING TENNIS FOR [INAUDIBLE].
I TAKE TENNIS LESSONS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.
I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING BASEBALL AND MAINTAINING GOOD GRADES IN MANDARIN ALGEBRA, BIOLOGY, ETC..
YOU SAY THAT WE ARE THE FUTURE.
I SAY THAT THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON CHOICES, CHOICES THAT CAN LEAD US TO GREAT LENGTHS AND BEYOND.
THANK YOU. CHRISTIAN [INAUDIBLE].
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS [INAUDIBLE].
MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] AND MINE'S SHORT AND SWEET.
I JUST WAS LOOKING AT THE ENROLLMENT THAT YOU ALL HAD ON YOUR BOARD AGENDAS, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS COMPARED, YOU'LL SEE THAT FRONTIERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DROP. AND SO WHEN I MET SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS AT ONE OF THE TOWN MEETINGS, TOWN CONVERSATION MEETINGS, IT WAS ASKED, YOU KNOW, IS SOMEBODY LOOKING AT WHY THERE'S A BIG SIGNIFICANT DROP IN THE ATTENDANCE AT FRONTIER? AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE ON THE SECOND CHART, YOU CAN SEE THAT NUMBER OF STUDENTS NOT RETURNING FROM NINTH GRADE TO 10TH GRADE AT ABOUT 30
[02:05:06]
TO ALMOST 40%.SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOU'VE GOT KIDS RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF YOU THAT WANT TO TELL YOU WHY THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL. AND SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO THEM.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BRANDON [INAUDIBLE].
OKAY. HELLO. I AM BRANDAN [INAUDIBLE].
I AM AN EIGHTH GRADER AT THE AMAZING SCHOOL [INAUDIBLE] STEM ACADEMY NEXT YEAR.
I REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE THE STEM PATH AND GO TO FRONTIER.
BUT THERE'S ONE SMALL OUTLYING ISSUE.
THE ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT MOST STUDENTS WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETICS BUT CANNOT.
THERE ARE NO ATHLETICS OFFERED FOR FRONTIER STUDENTS.
WE FOUND A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE, AND THAT IS BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE WITH THEIR HOME CAMPUSES, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE STUDENTS CAN'T LEAVE SCHOOL DURING THE DAY, BECAUSE IT HURTS STUDENTS AROUND THEM AND BECAUSE STUDENTS ARE ALREADY TAKEN TIME.
BUT THIS IS NOT REALLY A REASONABLE ARGUMENT, AS YOU WILL.
COMPETITIONS AS WELL AS CULINARY COMPETITIONS ALREADY TAKE PLACE AT FRONTIER.
SO WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE WHERE ATHLETICS CAN BE OFFERED TO THESE STUDENTS? WE'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT CAN BE OFFERED TO EVERYONE AND FOR ALL SPORTS.
COMPETITIVE ATHLETICS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS INHERENTLY OFFERED TO EVERYONE.
IT'S SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE BEING NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THIS POLICY.
WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE IT? WHY REVOKING THE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SPORTS THAT WE LOVE JUST BECAUSE NOT ALL STUDENTS CAN DO IT? WHAT IF ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS WERE TO BE ABLE TO GET AN ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP BUT NOW WON'T BECAUSE OF THIS POLICY? WHEN FRONTIER WAS OPENED, IT SAID NO CLUBS AND NO SPORTS.
BUT NOW WE HAVE CLUBS LIKE BOWLING, SORRY, CLUBS AND SPORTS LIKE BOWLING.
SO WHY CAN'T WE HAVE OTHER SPORTS OFFERED BY UIL? THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KENZIE [INAUDIBLE].
I'M GOING TO MESS THAT ONE UP REAL BAD.
HELLO, BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS KENZIE [INAUDIBLE].
I AM AN EIGHTH GRADER AT THE [INAUDIBLE] STEM ACADEMY AND NEXT YEAR I HOPE TO ATTEND FRONTIER.
THERE ARE ANY SPORTS OFFERED AND WHEN I LOOK INTO THE MSI ELIGIBILITY, IT SAID TO REFER TO THE UL PARENT HANDBOOK, BUT THAT STATED THAT IT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE TO HAVE A STUDENT REPRESENT THEIR MAGNET SCHOOL IN ONE DIVISION OF UL ACTIVITIES AND THEIR CAMPUS ZONE CAMPUS IN A DIVISION OF UL ACTIVITIES IF NOT OFFERED AT THE MAGNET SCHOOL.
AND MY MISD IS ALREADY OVERACHIEVING IN MANY AREAS, INVESTING SO MUCH INTO STUDENTS.
WHY ARE WE MAKING STUDENTS THROW AWAY THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER OVER A NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE FOR THINGS LIKE SPORTS? THESE STUDENTS HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND LOVE THIS DISTRICT AND THE PROGRAMS IN IT.
ULTIMATELY, IT'S NOT ONLY HURTING THE STUDENTS, BUT IT'S HURTING THE DISTRICT AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S REMOVING STUDENTS FROM OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS AND WE ARE TURNING AWAY SO MANY STUDENTS THAT MAY EXCEL IN CHOICE PROGRAMS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.
WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY HEARD FROM EVERYONE THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.
MOVING ON TO 11.1 HUMAN RESOURCES REPORT.
