[7. Work Session]
TRONGAARD. HI.THANK YOU, WILSON. TONIGHT WE HAVE A SPECIAL MR. JEFF ROBERT FROM HILLTOP SECURITIES.
HE HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE 1997 WITH MANSFIELD ISD.
HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT DEBT SERVICE SIDE AND ONE OF THE STRATEGIC MOVES HE DID WITH US AND MANSFIELD ISD WAS A SUCCESSFUL PART OF THE VATRE AND HELPING US STRATEGIZE WITH LOWERING THE 13 PENNIES AND BEING ABLE TO PAY THE DEBT SERVICE SIDE AND HOW WE COULD DO THAT.
PRESIDENT LACKEY WILSON, MEMBERS OF BOARD.
DR. CANTU JEFF ROBERT WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES.
AND IN TALKING WITH MS. TRONGAARD, SHE THOUGHT IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU MAYBE SOME HISTORICAL INFORMATION KIND OF WHERE WE ARE ON THE DEBT SERVICE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
IF YOU GO TO THE LEFT, THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1996.
AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GONE ALL THE WAY FROM 1.7 BILLION IN 1996.
NOW WE'RE AT 19.2, SO ALMOST 12 TIMES WHAT THE VALUE IS OR WAS BACK IN 96 AS I DROVE IN TODAY.
SO IT'S AMAZING TO SEE ALL THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT'S TAKEN PLACE OVER THE YEARS.
[00:05:04]
IN COLUMN THREE, THE ENROLLMENT HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT STARTED OUT AT 10,000 202 BACK IN 96, AND NOW WE'RE ABOUT 35,700.THE TURNOUT IN COLUMN SIX FOR EACH OF THOSE ELECTIONS, THE FOUR PERCENTAGE AND AGAINST PERCENTAGE IN COLUMN SEVEN AND THEN HOW THAT AUTHORIZATION WAS ISSUED OVER THOSE DIFFERENT YEARS, A TOTAL OF 1.294 BILLION.
AND THEN IN COLUMNS NINE, TEN AND 11 IS THE DISTRICT'S TAX RATE HISTORY.
AND MISS TRONGAARD WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I POINTED OUT THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM RIGHT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOUR CURRENT TOTAL TAX RATE IS THE LOWEST TAX RATE THAT THE DISTRICT HAD SINCE 1993.
SO, AGAIN, THE LOWEST TAX RATE SINCE 1993.
IT'S STRUCTURED TO BE PAID OFF EACH YEAR.
AND COLUMN THREE I BROKE OUT, IF YOU'LL RECALL, THE BOARD APPROVED A REDEMPTION ORDER THIS PAST SUMMER, SO WE'RE GOING TO PREPAY $9.745 MILLION HERE IN A WEEK ON 215 OF 23 THE INTEREST OUTSTANDING.
AND THEN IN COLUMN FIVE, THE INTEREST THAT'S BEING SAVED AS A RESULT OF REDEEMING THOSE BONDS EARLY.
SO THE DISTRICT TAXPAYERS ARE SAVING $1.2 MILLION.
AND THEN IN COLUMN SIX, YOUR ANNUAL TOTAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST OUTSTANDING.
AND YOU COULD SEE THAT THAT NUMBER DROPS A LITTLE BIT NEXT YEAR, WHICH CAN ALLOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSIDERING PAYING OFF MORE DEBT EARLY IF THE BOARD SO CHOOSES ON THE NEXT PAGE. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT'S OUTSTANDING BY ISSUE, IT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO SERIES 2002 ON THE LEFT AND THEN 2020 WAS THE LARGE REFUNDING THAT WE DID THAT HELPED ALLOW FOR THE REDUCTION IN THE IRS TAX RATE THAT ACCOMMODATED THE VAT.
BUT IT GIVES YOU THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THOSE ISSUANCES.
AND MS. TRONGAARD AND I WERE TALKING I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE READ ARTICLES OR SEEN THAT THE PERMIT SCHOOL FUND GUARANTEE IS RIGHT NOW AT CAPACITY, MEANING THAT UNLESS THEY INCREASE THE COVERAGE, MULTIPLE DISTRICTS CANNOT RECEIVE THE PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND GUARANTEE ON NEW BOND ISSUES AS OF NOW.
THINK THAT WILL BE RECTIFIED SOMETIME HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
BUT THAT PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND GUARANTEE GIVES YOU A TRIPLE-A RATING.
AND SO THE QUESTION IS, WELL, HOW DOES THAT AFFECT SCHOOL DISTRICTS? IT'S NOT GOOD FOR ANY DISTRICTS FOR THE PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND GUARANTEED TO NOT BE AVAILABLE.
SO WHEREAS A DISTRICT THAT MIGHT BE RATED IN THE A CATEGORY, IT MIGHT COST THEM A HALF A PERCENT TO THREE QUARTERS OF A PERCENT, IT WOULD PROBABLY COST YOU ABOUT 1/10 OF 1%. SO IT'S NOT A GREAT THING FOR ANYBODY.
A SLIDE I THINK THAT YOU'VE SEEN BUT WANTED TO SHOW IT AGAIN IS SINCE 2010 WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE REFINANCINGS WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITIES HAVE ARISENWITH PREVAILING INTEREST RATES AT THOSE TIMES AND THAT VERY LAST THAT TAXABLE SERIES 2020, WHERE THE DISTRICT SAVED ABOUT 55 MILLION, THAT WAS THE ISSUE THAT WAS WAS REALLY CRITICAL IN BUYING DOWN THAT INS TAX RATE.
YOU'VE PROBABLY READ ABOUT INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES HAVE REALLY GONE UP.
WHAT THIS IS A 20 YEAR BOND BUYER INDEX GRAPH.
IT COMES OUT WEEKLY EVERY THURSDAY.
WE GOT DOWN TO 2% ON THE 20 YEAR YIELD.
AND YES, RATES HAVE COME UP CONSIDERABLY FROM THOSE RATES.
[00:10:02]
THIS LAST WEEK THE BUY RATE WAS AT 3.39.AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE AVERAGES, WE'RE ACTUALLY BELOW THE TEN YEAR AVERAGE ON THIS.
SO WHILE RATES HAVE COME UP A LITTLE BIT, THEY CERTAINLY ARE STILL AT HISTORICALLY LOW.
THIS LAST YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, THEY HAD AN ELECTION TO INCREASE IT FROM 25000 TO 40000.
AND NOW WITHIN SENATE BILL ONE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT INCREASING IT FROM 40000 TO 70000.
AGAIN, THAT WOULD REQUIRE A VOTE, STATEWIDE VOTE.
NOW, YOU WOULD VERY LIKELY RECEIVE WHAT'S CALLED ASAHI MONEY, WHICH IS A JUST ADDITIONAL STATE AID FOR THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION INCREASE, WHICH IS A HOLD HARMLESS AMOUNT FOR YOUR EXISTING BONDS.
YOU WOULD LIKELY RECEIVE A HOLD HARMLESS ON YOUR SIDE AS WELL, BUT THAT WOULD IMPACT, YOU KNOW, FUTURE AUTHORIZATIONS THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER BECAUSE FUTURE AUTHORIZATIONS WOULD NOT RECEIVE THE HOLD HARMLESS AMOUNT.
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BOND ELECTION DATES.
THERE'S THE POTENTIAL GOVERNOR ABBOTT WANTS TO REQUIRE MAY ELECTIONS TO HAVE A SUPERMAJORITY VERSUS A SIMPLE MAJORITY, MEANING THAT THEY COULD LOOK AT A 60 OR 67% REQUIRED PASSAGE RATE.
IF THAT HAPPENS, THAT'S PROBABLY, IN ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES GOING TO DO AWAY WITH THE MAY DATE FOR MOST DISTRICTS, THEY'D PROBABLY WAIT TILL NOVEMBER SO THAT THEY COULD GO FOR THE SIMPLE MAJORITY TO PASS.
AND THEN THERE ALSO HAS BEEN DISCUSSION ABOUT LOWERING THE REVALUATION CAP CURRENTLY A HOMEOWNER'S TAXES OR EXCUSE ME, TAXABLE VALUE CAN'T GO MORE THAN 10% IN A YEAR.
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR LOWERING THAT TO FIVE OR 3%.
NOW, THE FIRST ITEM THAT YOU SAW THERE, THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION INCREASE IS IN SENATE BILL ONE.
THE OTHERS ARE JUST DISCUSSION ITEMS AT THIS POINT IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND THEN LASTLY, I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, A QUESTION I GET ALL THE TIME IS WHAT WHAT CAPACITY DO WE HAVE, WHAT CAPACITY WE HAVE? AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, IF YOU LOOKED AT A BOND ELECTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THE DISTRICT AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIABLES INVOLVED, INCLUDING WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DOES OR DOESN'T DO, BUT WITH THE RULES OF THE GAME AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, THE DISTRICT COULD DO SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF PROBABLY ABOUT A $400 MILLION BOND ELECTION WITH NO TAX RATE IMPACT.
AND AGAIN, THAT'S VERY PRELIMINARY.
BUT JUST IN DISCUSSIONS WITH MICHELLE, SHE JUST ASKED, HEY, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD WE DO IF WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING? SO THAT'S ABOUT THE NUMBER RIGHT NOW WHICH COULD CHANGE AGAIN WITH REGARD TO WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR TAX BASE, WHAT HAPPENS WITH INTEREST RATES, WHAT PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED, THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.
IF THERE'S ANY OTHER INFORMATION I CAN PROVIDE, I WILL CERTAINLY PROVIDE THAT TO MS. TRONGAARD TO DISTRIBUTE AS WELL.
BOARD MEMBERS WILL START ON THIS END.
DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? MR. ROBERT, HOW ABOUT OVER HERE? LOOK AT YOU WITH THE VERY EASY TO READ PRESENTATION.
OH, THERE'S THIS QUICK QUESTION.
YES. THE TWO WHERE IT SAYS CALL DAY TWO, 152023 AND THEN TWO, 1520 2025, ARE THOSE WHEN THOSE ARE GOING TO BE DUE? THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN CALL THEM THEM EARLY.
SO IN OTHER WORDS IF AND WHAT WE TRY TO DO, THE REASON WHY THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CALLABLE BONDS IN THE EARLY YEARS IS BECAUSE WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THOSE CALL DATES WHEN WE DID THAT LARGE REFUNDING.
BUT IN TERMS OF A STRAIGHT REDEMPTION, THAT'S WHEN WE CAN SAY, HEY, JUST ADD THAT TO OUR INVOICE.
WE'RE PAYING IT OFF, IS HOW THAT WORKS.
DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? NO, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 7.2.
[00:15:05]
WORK ON OUR WORKSHOP AND OUR SELF EVALUATION AND ALL OF THOSE ITEMS. SO BOARD MEMBERS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE LEAVE EVERYTHING HERE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO RETURN WHEN THE ACTIVITY IS OVER.AND I'M GOING TO WE DON'T HAVE TO RECONVENE BECAUSE WE JUST STEPPED OUTSIDE FOR AN ACTIVITY OR PART OF OUR TRAINING WITH MISS HOLLY TEAGUE, OUR TRAINER FOR THE EVENING.
AND AS PART OF OUR TEAM OF EIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE BOARD SELF EVALUATION AND I'LL ASK MS. MOYE, I BELIEVE YOU PRINTED OUT OUR SCORECARDS, IS THAT CORRECT? IF YOU WOULD EITHER HAND THEM OUT OR PASS THEM DOWN.
AND THEN ONCE EVERYBODY HAS THEM, I'M GOING TO ASK BIANCA AND DEZ MAYBE TO RUN THROUGH HOLLY IS HERE IN CASE, YOU KNOW, JUST HAVE A QUESTION.
I WANT TO RUN SOMETHING BY HER AND AS WELL AS OBVIOUSLY OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT IN CASE WE NEED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING FROM THE STAFF SIDE OF THINGS.
GO AHEAD. MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS ONE.
GO AHEAD. SO JUST JUST FOR ANYBODY THAT'S LISTENING IN, JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND.
AND IT'S GOING TO TRACK BASICALLY OUR ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND IT KIND OF GOES OVER EACH LITTLE THING THAT WE'RE REPORTING ON THAT MONTH.
AND SO WE CAN TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW OUR SCORECARD AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHAT WE WE THINK RIGHT NOW ON HOW WE'RE DOING. AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME THINGS THAT WE WANT TO ADJUST MAYBE FOR NEXT YEAR.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO ADJUST IT RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN FINISH OUT THE YEAR, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING REALLY, REALLY GOOD ON.
THERE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON.
SO IF WE WANT TO MS. MOYE PASSED OUT THE ACTUAL SCORECARD.
SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE EACH ONE, WE CAN KIND OF GO THROUGH THEM.
ARE YOU ALL OKAY WITH THAT? IS THAT KIND OF WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT WAY? I WOULD LIKE TO. OH, YOU WANT TO START WITH THE SCORECARD AND YEAH, WE'LL JUST START WITH THE SCORECARD.
I WOULD LIKE TO BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO ALSO MAKE FOR THOSE OF THOSE OF US THAT HAVE NOT WORKED OFF THE SCORECARD BEFORE, WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE OF IS, YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SET A GOAL TO WHERE YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD SOMETHING, RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT TO ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GOAL WHERE I DO THAT EVERY DAY.
AND I'M REFERRING TO THE BOARD ITEMS. OKAY. SO GO AHEAD.
AND WE DON'T REALLY REPORT ON THOSE BECAUSE DR.
SCOTT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, ALGEBRA, WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL IN WE'RE IN BLUE, RIGHT? SO AND THEN I THINK READING WE'RE IN GREEN, SO WE'RE MOVING ALONG REALLY WELL ON THAT.
AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE STATS ON LIFE READY OR CAREER READY.
IT MIGHT. AM I RIGHT? WE'VE NOT REPORTED ON THOSE YET, SO YOU MIGHT NOT FIND THOSE TWO ON.
I THINK ONCE WE GET BECAUSE IT'S STUDENTS.
IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
BUT THOSE YOU CAN IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THERE, I THINK.
I THINK THE LAST ALGEBRA ONE WAS REPORTED.
SO IF YOU'RE CURIOUS ON THOSE, YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THIS.
THIS DISTRICT'S ONE DOES DO YOU WANT TO BASELINE FOR.
READING OF THIRD GRADE BECAUSE OF THE INITIAL.
THE CHANGE IS THE INSTRUMENT, THE STATE MANDATED CHANGE.
THIS TREMENDOUS YEAR IS LAST YEAR AND IN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS GRADUATING LAST.
GRADUATING COLLEGE ENTERED CAREER READY TO GO FOR BASELINE NUMBERS.
[00:20:02]
SO WE HAVE THE PERCENTAGES WHICH ARE 74 FOR READING AND THEN 58 FOR A LIBRARY AND 45 FOR.COLLEGE AND CAREER, ACCORDING TO OUR STUDENT SCORECARD.
ACTOR BASED ON YEAR NINE, THE YEAR BEFORE, WITH A GOAL OF 80.
AND SO WE WERE AGREEING LAST YEAR.
OKAY, SO WE'LL JUST MOVE ON TO VISIONS AND GOALS.
SO THE FIRST ONE, IT'S OUR MONITORING BOARD.
FOCUS ON MONITORING BOARD DASHBOARD ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
THAT IS WHAT JULIE POSTS ON THE AGENDA EVERY MONTH AND OR MS. MOYE. SO SHE HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB OF MAKING SURE OUR DASHBOARD REPORT IS ON THERE AS LONG AS ALONG WITH OUR GRAPHS THAT MATCH UP THAT. SO SHE'S DONE A VERY GOOD JOB.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BLOW THAT ONE OUT OF THE WATER.
WE'RE ALREADY BLUE. AND IT'S ALSO TO POINT OUT THAT WE DON'T, WE DO NOT REPORT EVERY I DO HAVE IT ON AND IT DOES IT'S ALSO KIND OF IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT ESSENTIALLY WE DO NOT REPORT ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ITEMS EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
WE ROTATE THEM JUST LIKE WE GET THE WEEKLY OR MONTHLY REPORTS FROM DOCTOR CANTU, DR.
SCOTT'S TEAMS, BECAUSE WE'RE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE KEEPING TRACK OF THEM EVERY MONTH, WE TAKE A LONG TIME TO ACTUALLY HAVE THEM ON THERE BECAUSE WE DO GRAPHS WITH THEM EVERY SINGLE MONTH. WE ACTUALLY AND IT'S A LOT OF WORK BETWEEN DES AND MYSELF AND MISS MOYE.
SO, BUT, SO THANK YOU, MS. MOYE, FOR MAKING SURE.
WE'RE STAYING ON TRACK WITH THAT ONE.
SO. SO AGAIN, THAT ONE'S GOING TO BE WE'VE DONE FANTASTIC ON THAT.
DR. SCOTT, I'M GOING TO ASK YOUR INPUT ON THIS ONE, BECAUSE THIS WAS ONE THAT WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS ON AND WE HAD IT TO BE DETERMINED WHEN WE FIRST STARTED FIGURING OUT WHAT IT WAS.
AND I THINK THAT IS WHERE YOU CORRECT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE WE'RE REPORTING IT, BUT IN OCTOBER ON THE.
IS THAT IS THAT GOING TO COVER IN THE DOMAINS? THREE? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THAT ONE? SO THE MAP, WE WILL BE PRESENTING INFORMATION THAT IS DISAGGREGATED ON MAP, BUT THAT ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE STARR EOC EXAM.
THE RESULTS OF THAT IN THE FOR THE DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS POPULATIONS.
WE WILL BE REFERRING TO THE DISTRICT SCORECARD IS CORRECT.
JUST BRING THAT OVER. NOW, THE QUESTION I WOULD HAVE FOR THE BOARD IS ESTABLISHING A GOAL.
RIGHT? AND I WOULD AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT YOU DETERMINED, IS TO LOOK AT THIS YEAR AS A BASELINE BASED ON THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE DRASTICALLY WITH THE CHANGE IN THE TEST AND THE CHANGE IN THE CUTOFF FOR EACH POPULATION, THE CUT SCORES FOR EACH POPULATION.
YEAH, RIGHT AND THEN THEY ARE STILL MAKING CHANGES TO WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPORT ON.
SO. YEAH, WE GET THE RULE BOOK AFTER THE SEASON'S OVER.
SO, BASICALLY THAT ONE IS STILL IN THE WORKS.
WE PUT IT ON THERE BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO US, BUT IT'S STILL STILL IN THE WORKS, RIGHT? RIGHT. AND THE NEXT TWO.
CANTU WITH BEING TO BE VISIBLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND MORE VISIBLE ON OUR CAMPUSES.
AND I HAVE TO SAY, SHE IS ROCKING THAT GOAL.
SHE IS BLOWING THAT OUT OF THE WATER.
SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THAT AS SERIOUSLY AS WE WANTED YOU TO.
SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT IN THE COMMUNITY.
IT'S A 1015 TO 20 COMMUNITY EVENTS FOR THE YEAR I THINK SHE IS ALREADY AT.
[00:25:03]
OVER LIKE 52 EVENTS.SO SHE'S AGAIN BLOWN THAT OUT OF THE WATER.
AND THEN VISIBLE AT CAMPUSES, IT'S 24 PER SEMESTER.
AND SHE. EACH QUARTER WE KIND OF LOG THAT ONE EACH QUARTER IS HOW I MARK IT ON THE CHART.
IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THAT AND SHE DID 38 THE FIRST QUARTER, 46 THE LAST QUARTER.
SO SHE'S AGAIN BLOWING THAT WAY OUT OF THE WATER WITH THE SEMESTER.
SO THAT KIND OF FINISHES UP VISIONS AND GOALS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? BIANCA, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? I MEAN. I THINK WHAT WE WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS HAVE A HEAVY OVERALL.
I MEAN, THE NUMBER ONE IS OBVIOUSLY OUR VISION AS A DISTRICT.
AND THEN THE SECOND WAS MORE OF HOW CAN WE STREAMLINE IT BETWEEN SUPERINTENDENT AND DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT AND THEN IT GOES INTO NOW HOW DO WE EVEN GO MORE GRANULAR, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO NEXT FOR THE BOARD? OKAY. ALTHOUGH THE FIRST ONE IS SYSTEM REPORTS.
YES. SO SYSTEM REPORTS, THAT'S AGAIN, THAT IS DONE BY OUR DISTRICT.
AND WE RECEIVED A SYSTEM REPORT CALENDAR.
DR. SCOTT AND HIS TEAM PROVIDED THAT TO US.
SO IN SEPTEMBER IT WAS FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE.
G FEBRUARY SAFETY AND SECURITY.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY THESE WERE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE IMPORTANT AND WE WANTED TO HEAR A REPORT.
SO WE HAVE TWO THAT ARE STILL LEFT.
DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTION WILL REPORT AND THEN HUMAN RESOURCES AND AGAIN APRIL AND JUNE.
AND SO THAT'LL GET US RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
SO WE'RE DOING FANTASTIC ON THAT ONE TOO.
YEAH, I WAS THINKING WE ACTUALLY WENT EVEN A LITTLE BIT FARTHER.
I MEAN, MONTHLY NOW FOR US, SO THAT EVERYONE, MEANING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
OURSELVES, EVERYONE IS UPDATED WHETHER THERE'S A CHANGE OR NOT A CHANGE JUST TO GIVE INFORMATION.
YEAH, WE'VE SCHEDULED THEM OVER AND IT'S KIND OF WENT BACK TO WHAT WE WE DID YEARS AGO WHERE WE PROVIDE A SYSTEM REPORT AND I BELIEVE IT COMES IN THE ROTATION EVERY 3 TO 4 YEARS THAT.
THAT IT'S ON WHERE THEY FILL OUT THE BIG HEAVY DUTY REPORT FOR YOU AND THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL GET INSTRUCTIONAL PIECES EVERY MONTH WE'LL HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL PIECES IN THE BOARD MEETING, BUT THEY'LL JUST HAVE THAT ONE BIG OPERATIONAL REPORT IN THEIR SYSTEM REPORT.
SO YEAH, I THINK IT'S OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD AND THOSE ARE MR. BALL WILL BE DOING HIS AT THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING IN FEBRUARY.
YEAH. SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ON THAT.
AND THEN BOARD MEMBER REQUIRED TRAINING.
SO OUR BASELINE WAS 142 HOURS.
AGAIN, I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OVER ACHIEVERS.
WE HAVE 223.7 5 HOURS A MONTH.
SO LAST TIME WE CHECKED, THAT MIGHT HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT, BUT.
DES I WANT TO ASK YOU REAL QUICK IF YOU WOULD REMIND EVERYONE OR BIANCA, WHICH WHOEVER KNOWS OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD ON OUR GOAL SHEET, SINCE I KNOW NOT EVERYONE CAN SEE IT, WE HAVE A 12 OR MORE HOURS FOR EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS AND 25 OR MORE HOURS FOR MORE THAN 25 TRUSTEES.
MORE THAN 20. WHICH IS FIRST YEAR TRUSTEES.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT IS THE ACTUAL STANDARD AVERAGE FOR THE STATE LIKE IN GENERAL? AND YOU ALL REMEMBER WHAT THOSE NUMBERS.
HANG ON, JUST GIVE ME JUST A SECOND AND I WILL.
BECAUSE I'M PRETTY CERTAIN. HERE WE GO.
HANG ON. SO A NEW TRUSTEE IS 25 HOURS.
AND OUR GOAL WAS TO HAVE MORE THAN 25.
OKAY, THEN WHAT ABOUT AN EXISTING AND THEN AN EXISTING TRUSTEE IS 9 TO 16 HOURS AND WE SET IT AT 12.
OKAY. I THINK BUT WE THIS WAS A TOPIC OF HARD TO I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY IT'S REQUIRED OF A NEW BOARD MEMBER BUT AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US HAVE ACTUALLY GONE OVER THE TOPIC IS DO WE DO WE GO UP ON IT? I MEAN, LIKE WE I FEEL LIKE IN THIS DISTRICT WE TRY TO BE ON TOP OF EACH THING AS IT COMES UP, WHETHER IT BE TAD TO LEGAL TO, ETC..
SO THIS MIGHT BE ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MOVE UP ON.
WELL, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND.
[00:30:01]
SO IN MY OPINION, IF WE'RE OKAY, IF THE BASELINE STATEWIDE IS FOR A NEW TRUSTEE TO HAVE 25 HOURS AND WE'RE ASKING OUR NEW TRUSTEE TO GET A MINIMUM OR MORE THAN 25 HOURS, I FEEL LIKE EXISTING TRUSTEES SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN THE MINIMUM AS WELL.MHM. SO EXIST WOULD YOU SAY EXISTING IS 16 OR MORE.
YEAH. IF YOU SAID IT'S 9 TO 16 THEN I THINK THAT WE SHOULD GO WITH THE TOP NUMBER AND MAKE IT 16 OR MORE AND THEN THE NEW TRUSTEES IF WE'RE KEEPING THEM AND I'M NOT, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT NECESSARILY WITH PEOPLE GETTING THEIR FEET WET AND LEARNING BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE ASKING EXISTING TRUSTEES, SEASONED TRUSTEES TO GET LESS THAN HALF OF A BRAND NEW TRUSTEE WHO'S JUST COMING IN AND LEARNING EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE IT TO A MINIMUM OF 16.
YEAH. AND THEN, I MEAN, THERE IS REQUIRED THAT WE HAVE TO DO EVERY YEAR.
I MEAN, SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET.
SO DO WE HAVE IT? DO WE HAVE THE NUMBERS? LIKE, HAS EVERYONE MET THE MINIMUM? SO LET ME. YEAH.
NO. SO I JUST WANT TO LET OUR TRUSTEES KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THESE GOALS BY APRIL.
THEY DO GET REPORTED AT THE BOARD MEETING AND HOW MISS MOYE READS THAT OFF, IF SHE HAS TO READ, IF YOU ARE A BOARD MEMBER, IF YOU EXCEEDED YOUR HOURS, IF YOU MET YOUR HOURS, OR IF YOU WERE DEFICIENT IN YOUR HOURS.
SO WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK IS ALL THE TRUSTEES DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TASB HOURS.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, PLEASE CHECK IN WITH MS. MOYE, SEE WHERE YOU'RE AT AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE LEFT TO DO BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE DONE.
NOW, NOT EVERYBODY HAS MET THAT GOAL, BUT WE HAVE TILL APRIL.
SO AS EVERYTHING IS BUMPING IT TO 16 ISN'T GOING.
THAT'S JUST OUR GOAL, RIGHT? IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE STATE.
THAT MAKES SENSE. NO, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
SO I'M OKAY WITH BUMPING IT FOR OUR NEXT SCORECARD, BUT DOING IT RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE SOME THAT AREN'T THERE YET, SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN INDIVIDUALLY MAKE IT RIGHT NOW.
WELL, I'M JUST SAYING, HERE'S THE DEAL.
YOU ALL ARE SAYING THE SAME THING WHEN SHE REPORTS THIS OUT, SHE'S ONLY GOING TO SAY.
AND THAT CAN BE THERE'S THREE OF US FOR SURE.
MAYBE FOUR OF US, I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE THAT ARE CONSIDERED EXISTING.
REGARDLESS WHAT OUR PERSONAL SCORE SHEET IF IT SAYS 16.
YEAH SO AND THAT MAY BE SOMETHING TO REVISIT LATER I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO COMBINE OUR HOURS THAT MAY BE GIVING SOME TRUSTEES FALSE.
THE REPORT THAT WE DO IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRAPHIC, IT DOES TELL IT BREAKS IT UP.
IT BREAKS IT UP. AND IT AS LONG AS EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT.
SO YOU'RE NOT WAITING UNTIL LIKE MARCH.
AND THEN YOU FIND, OH, WAIT, I'M SHORT FOR HOURS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE CHECKING THAT WHEN THAT'S POSTED.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR BOARD DASHBOARD.
THAT JULIE JUST HANDED OUT, IT'S THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT IT'LL TELL YOU TRAINING HOURS ON THE SECOND PAGE IT TELLS YOU WHAT MONTH THAT WE'RE REPORTING THOSE.
OK. SO IF IT'S MARKED, THAT'S WHEN WE'RE REPORTING THEM.
SO THE CHART WILL BE ON THERE.
THAT'S THE LENGTH OF THE MEETING.
SO IT SHOULD SAY DECEMBER AND APRIL.
SO WE DID IT IN DECEMBER, AND THEN WE'LL WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM COMPLETED BY APRIL, SO.
AND IF YOU AT MINIMUM, PLUS A MINIMUM OF THREE EXTRA HOURS.
THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED ON 12 AS A BOARD, BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER BIANCA AND I HAD VERY AMBITIOUS TRAINING OUR GOALS, AND WE GOT KNOCKED DOWN OFF THAT CHAIR.
I JUST THINK THAT WE'VE REACHED THEM.
[00:35:02]
AND I THINK THAT WE LOOK AT TO MAKE IT TO A MINIMUM OF 16 FOR EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS, LIKE KNOWING MOVING FORWARD FROM RIGHT NOW.THEY CAN STILL EASILY MAKE THEIR NINE GOALS TO GET APPROVED BY THE STATE.
THAT'LL BE ANNOUNCED IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS.
BUT ARE YOU SAYING FOR THIS YEAR RIGHT NOW, CHANGE IT? INSTEAD OF GETTING 12 OR MORE, WE CHANGE IT TO BECAUSE HERE'S THE DEAL.
IF WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE TECHNICAL SCHOOL YEAR IS OVER, ARE WE GOING TO WAIT TO BUMP ANY OF OUR GOALS UP UNTIL THE END OF JUNE BECAUSE THE SCHOOL YEAR DIDN'T START UNTIL JULY ONE? OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS.
OKAY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I'M. WELL, I MEAN, SO THINK ABOUT WHERE I MEAN, IS THAT GOING TO BE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE.
IS THAT GOING TO BE THIS WILL BE AN ACHIEVABLE GOAL IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET THIS GOAL, I DO BELIEVE.
BUT IF WE BUMP IT UP AND CHANGE IT TO 16, IS THAT GOING TO BE ACHIEVABLE, BE ANYBODY THAT SHOULDN'T GET 16 HOURS? I MEAN, YOU CAN KNOCK DOWN HERE'S A DEAL.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT 4 HOURS LAST WEEK JUST DURING THE ICE AND HOW MANY OF OUR HOURS DO WE GET AS A TEAM ANYWAY? YEAH, LIKE IN A CONFERENCE.
WHAT WE JUST DID, WE GET THAT AS A TEAM.
SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET HALF OF WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING MY NEW GUYS TO GET, I THINK.
SO ARE THERE SOME THINGS LIKE THE CONFERENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO IN A FEW WEEKS? IS THAT KIND OF TRAINING? ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS ONLINE.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CONFERENCE.
NO, I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S WE HAVE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES, RIGHT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL I'M GOOD WITH IT.
GUYS, WE ALWAYS WAIT TILL THE END TO GET YOUR.
I THINK SETTING THE MINIMUM SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN WHERE WE HAVE IT NOW.
I MEAN, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE A DISTRICT THAT'S EXPECTING THAT OUT OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND SO FORTH, IF WE'RE A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, THEN WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT OF OURSELVES.
AND THAT WAS MY POINT IS IT'S OKAY TO NOT ALWAYS MAKE 100.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, BIANCA AND I WERE RIGHT THERE BACK IN AUGUST.
YEAH, I KNOW Y'ALL WERE. SO WE ALL SOLD YOU ON IT ANYWAY.
HELLO. AND I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THE 15.
YOU'RE GOOD WITH IT. I'M GOOD WITH MOVING UP TO THAT.
ALL RIGHT. SO WE WILL MAKE THAT.
WE HAVE 40% AND WE KIND OF DISCUSSED THIS.
WE JUST WE'RE SO CLOSE TO MAKING MEETING THAT 40% TIME INVESTED ON STUDENT OUTCOMES.
WE'VE KIND OF MISSED IT BY LIKE A POINT OR TWO EVERY MONTH.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAD AT ME AGAIN? WELL, I KNOW I'M SERIOUS.
RIGHT. BUT LET'S HAVE HOLLY, IF YOU COULD HELP US OUT WITH THIS.
BECAUSE, LIKE, WHAT MS. MOYE IS DOING, SHE'S DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.
SO I THINK BEFORE WE JUST JUMP IN 100% AND LIKE, OH, LET'S BUMP THIS UP TO 60%, LET'S JUST SEE WHAT GIVE HOLLY A MINUTE TO REVIEW WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND COME BACK.
I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION.
THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE WORK WE'RE DOING.
I AGREE. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
YEAH. JULIE, HAVE YOU ALREADY DONE THE LAST BOARD MEETING THE TIME? DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE HAVE THAT HANDY? I HAVE ONE COPY OF WHAT I DID, AND THEN I HAVE A BLANK COPY FOR YOU GUYS.
JUST TELL US WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS.
THAT'S ALL WE NEED. OKAY, IT'S 26%.
AND WE WHEN WE DECIDED WE WOULD KIND OF TRY TO FOLLOW THAT, WE KEPT THE WORDING THE SAME.
[00:40:06]
AND WE'RE NOT USING STUDENT FOCUS BECAUSE LIKE OUR TOYS FOR TOTS PRESENTATION, OBVIOUSLY THAT STUDENT FOCUSED.BUT WHAT THIS SAYS IS STUDENT OUTCOME REPORT, STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS, AND THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT.
WELL, IF YOU GO BACK TO WHEN WE FIRST HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH LONESTAR GOVERNANCE AND WE HAD WHAT WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE DID HAVE ALL THESE RECOGNITIONS FOR STUDENTS AND OUR BOARD MEETINGS AND THAT FIRST THEY WERE GOING THROUGH WITH THAT TRAINER, THIS COULD OR COULDN'T COUNT AGAINST YOU.
WE'VE GOT OUR KIDS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WE HAVE OUR BANDS, WE HAVE OUR CHEERLEADERS, OUR PERFORMERS, OUR DANCERS, OUR ORCHESTRAS.
SO THAT COULD HAVE BEEN COUNTED.
SO BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT IS SAY TAKING THE TAPER REPORT THAT I MOVED OVER TO, THAT'S DEFINITELY HAS TO DO WITH STUDENT OUTCOMES.
TOYS FOR TOTS, IT'S NOT A STUDENT OUTCOME, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING FOR FAMILIES.
SO DO WE WANT TO CHANGE THE WORDING, TO SAY STUDENT FOCUS? I MEAN, STUDENT NUTRITION IS STUDENT FOCUS.
RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S GOING TO KILL IT FOR US.
BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A TAPER REPORT, FOR INSTANCE.
SO THOSE ARE NOT MOMENTS I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST OUR GENERAL AGENDAS, YOU KNOW, AND THAT THOSE ARE THE ONES I THINK.
BIANCA AND BECAUSE YOU WERE MENTIONING THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AND I BROUGHT THIS UP, LIKE BIANCA SAID, WHEN YOU FIRST BROUGHT US ALL THIS REPORT CARD, I JUST WANT TO SET THE GOAL HIGH FOR US BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR MOST IMPORTANT THINGS AND THAT I DO FEEL THAT'S WHY EVERYONE IS HERE.
ALL THOSE THINGS PERTAIN TO THE STUDENTS.
EVEN THE TOYS FOR TOTS, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE ALL OUR KIDS HERE.
THEY'RE HELPING. WHAT'S MAKING IT HAPPEN? HOLLY, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP US? LIKE READINESS. IT'S ABOUT SO MY SUGGESTION IS HAVE HOLLY JUST PERUSE ONE OR TWO OF OUR MEETINGS, GIVE US AN IDEA, AND THEN SHE CAN GET WITH DR.
CANTU OR JULIE OR WHATEVER AND SAY, OKAY, MOVE THIS TO HERE AND GIVE JULIE A BETTER TRACKER.
AND THEN FOR OUR NEXT MEETING WE CAN JUST GO FORWARD WITH THAT.
AND THEN I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHAT JULIE MS. MOYE SAID, HAVING STUDENT FOCUS AND THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO CHANGE IT.
BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO MOVE IT TO MAKE IT WORK FOR US.
SO WE DID PULL OUT FROM CONSENT.
I'M A THIRD PARTY LOOKING AT IT WOULD BE A GOOD JUDGE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
O HOW MANSY AGENDA ITEMS? HOW MANY ITEMS YOU HAVE, THEIR AGENDA ITEMS THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO.
[INAUDIBLE] MIC] SO LIKE GIVE AN EXAMPLE, [INAUDBLE] I HAVE AGENDAS. YOU WANT TO SEE THEM? YEAH. ALWAYS KEEP THEM.
SO, HOLLY, WOULD THAT MEAN LIKE THAT TOYS FOR TOTS PRESENTATION? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULDN'T BE PRESENTED AT THE BOARD MEETING? THAT'S A PRESENTATION.
[00:45:13]
[INAUDIBLE] THESE ARE AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER ONE COMES ALONG.YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE, TOO.
I GOT THEM ALL. HERE'S ONE RIGHT HERE.
YOU SIT DOWN AND SPEND SOME TIME THERE.
YES. I GUESS JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT PUTTING STUFF ON THERE THAT REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY.
BUT I THINK THAT IF WHEN YOU DECIDE IF YOU FOR.
THAT MEANS SOMETHING. THAT'S MORE.
[INAUDIBLE] WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT LONESTAR GOVERNANCE HELPED US DO.
I JUST THINK 60% IS REALLY HIGH.
WE'VE REACHED IT BEFORE, THOUGH.
AND THIS IS. THIS IS A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED BOARD.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HITTING YOUR STRIDE, BUT IT'S STILL A FAIRLY NEW BOARD.
BACK IN THOSE DAYS WHEN WE WERE HITTING THAT 60%.
THERE WAS NOTHING EVER PULLED FROM CONSENT.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT RIGHT OR WRONG.
IF WE'VE DONE OUR HOMEWORK, WE'VE ASKED OUR QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOTTEN THE INFORMATION WE NEEDED, THEN WE WOULDN'T BE DOING SO MUCH OF THAT AND WE WOULD BE REALLY FOCUSED AND CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR OUR KIDS AND WHAT ARE OUR KIDS GETTING OUT OF THIS.
WE WERE ALSO EARLY IN EARLY IN THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER, SOME OF THOSE PRESENTATIONS WERE BECAUSE I WAS GIVING THEM WERE LONG, DETAILED ACCOUNTABILITY PRESENTATIONS THAT WE WERE GIVEN YOU.
AND SO AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JEFF BROGDEN AND SO MINE, THEY WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE TIME SO MUCH.
BUT JEFF, YOU'VE GOT FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES.
IT'S JUST FINDING THAT BALANCE TO MAKE IT A BOARD TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED AND WANT TO GET OUT OF THE BOARD MEETING IS NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO MEET OUR 60% IF I DON'T PULL THIS AND GET A QUESTION ANSWERED OR SOMETIMES WE PULL IT, AS WE SAID, JUST TO GET CLARIFICATION FOR THE COMMUNITY.
RIGHT. I KNOW. BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO MAKE A REACHABLE GOAL, RIGHT? THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS.
COURTNEY 60 IS GREAT BUT WE CAN'T I DIDN'T SAY 40.
AT LEAST 50. AT LEAST HALF OF OUR TIME COULD BE SPENT ON STUDENT.
WHAT ARE WE GOT? WHAT ARE WE AT 40? WE'RE AT 30, 40, WE'RE AT 30.
OUR GOAL IS 32, BUT WE'RE AT 38 AND WE'RE IN JANUARY.
REMEMBER, HOLLY IS GOING TO LOOK OVER THEM.
I JUST NEED TO DO. YEAH, BUT I AGREE.
IT NEEDS TO BE HIGHER. SO LET'S I THINK THE FIRST STEP IS HAVING AN INDEPENDENT PARTY.
LOOK AT IT. GRADE IT, SCORE TIME IT, SEE WHERE WE'RE AT, BECAUSE THE THING COULD COME BACK AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK YOU GUYS CAN HIT 50% EASY, RIGHT? YEAH, BECAUSE SHE'S LOOKING AT OUR AGENDAS.
YEAH, THEN WE CAN, BUT THEN WE CAN ADJUST IT.
I THINK US TRYING TO SET A PERCENTAGE RIGHT NOW IS JUST WE'RE JUST A NUMBER.
WE'RE JUST PULLING A NUMBER OUT OF THE WEEDS.
SO LET'S MAKE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY REACH FOR AND STRIVE FOR.
BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY REACHED WHAT IS OUR TIMELINE? ARE WE OKAY? ARE WE GOING TO COME UP WITH THIS BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY RAISED THIS GOAL? WELL, I'M HOPING MAYBE WE CAN DO IT IN THE NEXT LIKE FEBRUARY, MARCH.
I MEAN, IS THAT UNDER STUDENT FOCUS OR.
YEAH, BECAUSE TECHNICALLY, WE'RE ALREADY ALMOST THERE.
YES, IT WILL BE UNDER STUDENT FOCUS.
SO, I MEAN, HOLLY, IF, IF OUR CAN WE HAVE IT BY OUR FEBRUARY BOARD MEETING OR DO WE NEED TO PUSH IT TO MARCH TWO WEEKS? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO IT'S UNANIMOUS.
TWO WEEKS, WE'LL MAKE A DECISION.
OKAY. SO ARE YOU ALL GOOD WITH THAT AND THEN.
RIGHT? IF WE WERE AT 38%, OUR GOAL IS ONLY 40%.
[00:50:01]
AND LOOK AT WHAT WE COULD DO.RIGHT. CAN I SAY ONE THING, THOUGH, ABOUT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT VERSUS SUSTAINED LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE? SO LIKE, LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY AND THEIR GOAL OF SCHEDULED UP TIME AT 99.95% OR WHATEVER IT IS, THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO UP.
SO THAT ONE'S REALLY NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
THAT IS A SET METRIC FOR THEM.
AND IF THEY MISS IT, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE WHERE WE NEED IT.
WE NEED A REMEDIATION PLAN NOW.
AND IF THEY'RE UP ABOVE IT, WELL THEN WE NEED TO STUDY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO IT'S NOT LIKE OUR STUDENT SCORES WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO KIND OF A LONG TERM GOAL, THAT WE'RE GOING TO SET OURSELVES INTERMEDIATE TARGETS FOR.
SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS.
AND I THINK THE CONVERSATION THE BOARD IS HAVING RIGHT NOW IS WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT STANDARD? THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ONE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO.
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN GET YOU TO, IF THAT'S WHAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT. I JUST THINK THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE CONSEQUENCE THAT YOU DON'T HEAR SOME THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT. BECAUSE WE SAID A MARKET THAT.
I MEAN, THAT'S. I THINK WHY YOU HAVE THIS.
NOW I KNOW EVERYTHING IN DEATH ABOUT.
RIGHT. AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON THE SYSTEM REPORTS WENT AWAY THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO MEET THAT METRIC OF. AND A LOT OF GREAT THINGS CAME FROM THAT.
BUT NOW WE'VE CIRCLED BACK AROUND AND THE BOARD SAID, WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS STUFF.
OKAY. WELL, THEN THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IS THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
AND THAT'S WHY WE ADDED INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS.
SO GIVE HOLLY TIME TO RELOOK IT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING IN TWO WEEKS.
WHAT TIME LENGTH? A BOARD MEETING. NOW, THIS ONE HAS TO LAST THIS LONG JUST BECAUSE OF OUR CREDITS.
WE'VE DONE REALLY GREAT STAYING RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
OUR GOAL WAS TO KEEP IT THE LENGTH THAT TO 2 HOURS A MAX, TWO AND A HALF, AND WE'RE RIGHT IN THERE.
WE'RE LIKE TWO, 2 HOURS, 10 MINUTES, 2 HOURS, 20 MINUTES.
SO WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL WITH THAT.
WE'VE ALL BEEN AND I THINK EVEN SHY OF AN HOUR RIGHT THERE.
SO WE'VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD WITH THAT.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE LINKS OF OUR MEETINGS? I THINK WE'RE DOING AND I THINK THOSE ARE GOOD GOALS.
I THINK THEY'RE BECAUSE IT GIVES US A LITTLE LEEWAY.
BUT I THINK THIS SHOWS THAT WE COULD GO HIGHER ON OUR STUDENT FOCUSED AGENDA BECAUSE WE'RE MEETING THE TIME LIMITS AND PARAMETERS, EVEN PULLING THINGS, TALKING THROUGH THINGS, ETC..
SO I THINK IT'S IT'S LIKE A SHIFT IN, YOU KNOW, ACADEMIC, THE STAAR OR WHATEVER ELSE.
THERE'S A SHIFT IN WHERE YOU'RE FOCUSING AND HOW YOU'RE FOCUSING, RIGHT.
SO BOARD COMMITTEES, OUR GOAL WAS TO HAVE THREE, EACH ONE OF US BE ON A MINIMUM OF THREE OF THOSE COMMITTEES.
SO WE PUT IT TOGETHER IN AUGUST.
WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR NOVEMBER MEETING.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO KIND OF OUR BOARD MEETING IS IN TWO WEEKS.
WELL, IT SAYS WORK SESSION WORK SESSIONS.
SO, YEAH, WE DID WORK SESSIONS.
[00:55:06]
MAY. AND THE REASON WE CAME UP WITH THAT IS FOR OUR COMMITTEE IS JUST MORE OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EACH OF US ON OUR COMMITTEE.SO IF YOU'RE ON THE SAFETY COMMITTEE, JUST GIVE A LITTLE REPORT.
AND BIANCA'S ON EDUCATION FOUNDATION SO SHE COULD REPORT ON EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
SO I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING MORE TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
LEGAL POLICY. AND THAT'S OKAY.
IT IS UP TO YOU ALL. IT'S IT'S UP TO YOU.
I'VE TRIED TO KIND OF ROTATE IT SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO REPORT ON EACH COMMITTEE THAT YOU SERVE ON.
YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO I'LL SEND SOMETHING TO JULIE.
IF YOU ALL ARE OKAY WITH THAT.
AND YOU, IT'LL LIST OUT WHO'S REPORTING ON.
WHY. ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT ON THE DESK? DO YOU WANT ME? AND ON OUR SCORECARD, IT SAYS THREE.
IT'S A DIFFERENT ONE. YEAH, IT'S THREE.
WE CHANGED IT. SO AND I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF US ON FOR DOES IT.
I'M SORRY. I SENT JULIE THE OLDER ONE.
I HAVE IT CORRECTED. I'VE JUST GOT TO FIND THAT I SWITCHED HOME COMPUTERS, SO.
YEAH, THE CORRECTED ONE IS PROBABLY ON THERE.
DO YOU WANT TO IF YOU WANT TO REPORT ON SOMETHING, I CAN REPORT ON EDUCATION FOUNDATION AND THEN WE CAN REPORT ON OUR BOARD COMMITTEE FOR THIS REPORT SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY RECORD SOMETHING.
YEAH. AND I THINK WARREN AND CRAIG, THE BOYS.
SO THIS SIDE OF THE TABLE ARE THE OVERACHIEVERS.
THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. I THINK THE BOYS CAN REPORT IF THEY SO WANTED TO.
WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO REPORT TONIGHT? THEY HAVEN'T MADE UP CLUB.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THEM. OH, NO, THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
WHO'S EVER DOWN THERE AT THE END? I'LL GO FIRST.
OKAY, GOOD. SO REPORT ON ADVOCACY.
AND OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE JUST IN THE BEGINNING OF A LEGISLATIVE SESSION, SO THERE'S.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT COMING SOON ON ADVOCACY AND SO FORTH.
AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IS DR.
SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO US.
I KNOW THAT BOTH DES AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SO FORTH, EMAILS, YOU KNOW, TOUCHING BASE, SAYING, HEY, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, YOU KNOW, FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS AND SO FORTH AS THE SESSION CARRIES ON AND SO FORTH, HOPEFULLY SO THAT WE CAN PUSH FOR THOSE THINGS THAT WE AS A DISTRICT SEE ARE IMPORTANT.
THERE'S ALSO A GOOD AND THIS IS FOR US, BUT ALSO GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS A WEBSITE OUT THERE, IT'S WWW.LEGISCAN.COM COM AND YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN PUT IN YOUR STATE.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. IF YOU DON'T KNOW A BILL NUMBER, YOU CAN PUT IN LIKE A TEXT SEARCH, KEYWORD TYPE SEARCH TO BE ABLE TO LOOK UP CERTAIN BILLS AND SO FORTH AND SEE WHERE THEY STAND AND SEE HOW THEY READ AND WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT AND SO FORTH.
AND SO ANOTHER COOL THING ABOUT THAT IS YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHO FILED IT.
AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THAT REP.
YES, IF YOU HAVE INPUT ON IT'LL TELL WHICH REP FILED IT.
YEAH. CRAIG YOU WANT TO REPEAT WHAT SITE THAT WAS?
[01:00:02]
YES, IT'S LEGIS CAN ICANN DOT COM.THANKS. DES DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMITTEE YOU WANTED TO CALL THEM BORN OR ARE YOU? I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I'M JUST STARTING DOWN THERE AT THE END.
OKAY. SO THIS IS FROM THE TARRANT APPRAISAL DISTRICT SUBGROUP.
THE NEXT MEETING NOTICE IS GOING TO BE ACTUALLY THIS FRIDAY THE 10TH.
THE ADDRESS, PHYSICAL ADDRESS IS 2500 HANLEY ROAD AND FORT WORTH.
FACEBOOK.COM, FORT TARRANT, A D.
YEAH, RIGHT. SO IN THE PAST, IT'S ONLY BEEN OFFERED TO BE A VIDEO.
I'M SORRY, I'M BEING AN AUDIO, WHICH OFTENTIMES HAS COME ACROSS PRETTY CHOPPY.
SO NOW, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE WATCH FACEBOOK LIVE.
ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING.
BUT THIS MONTH, REMEMBER, THE BIG VOTE WOULD BE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME.
SO LATER IN THE SESSION THIS YEAR, THE LAST REPORT FROM THE CHIEF APPRAISER.
KIND OF SOMETHING THAT STOOD OUT THERE.
THEY EXPRESSED SOME CONCERN THAT THE PROPERTY TAX WOULD BE MORE THAN LIKELY TO INCREASE.
SO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS.
AND WE'RE ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THAT TRICKLE OUT ALREADY.
AND SO THAT'S THE BIG THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THE REPORT FROM THE.
THE COMMITTEE BASED OFF THE LAST ACTIVITY AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.
WITH THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN MEETING AS OFTEN AS THEY HAD IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN MAKING A LOT OF SHIFTS, LOTS OF SECRETARY, ETC.. SO WE JUST MET AND BASICALLY WE GAVE AN AWARD, YOU KNOW, AN IMPACT AWARD TO THE HOPE SQUAD, THE SUICIDE PREVENTION, WHICH HAS ACTUALLY GONE PRETTY NATIONAL.
I MEAN, THE LEADER, CASEY, HAS BEEN SPEAKING AT QUITE A FEW ENGAGEMENTS.
SO WE ARE NOW PRETTY MUCH THE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD.
SHE HAS ACTUALLY BECOME A TRAINER NOW, SO SHE GOES AND TRAINS AT OTHER SCHOOLS ALL OVER.
IF THERE'S WE'RE HAVING AN EVENT AT THE VOLT VERY SOON.
IT'S FEBRUARY 26TH, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THAT.
ABOUT 100 PEOPLE ONLY, BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY AN EVENT.
AND IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO JUST REACH OUT TO ME AND WE'LL SEE WHERE OUR HEADCOUNT IS AT THE MOMENT, WE WILL HAVE THE GOLF OUTING AGAIN, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE JUNE 5TH.
AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO GIVE SOME GOLF AUCTION ITEMS, WE WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE YOU TO.
AND WE FOR LYNN, YOU KNOW, SHE HISTORICALLY WAS SOME CITY, SOME ACTUAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
SO SHE'S ACTUALLY PUT IN GOALS FOR HERSELF.
NOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER THEY'VE HAD GOALS ON THE BOARD.
SO IT'S CONTAGIOUS AROUND HERE.
SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE UPDATE FOR NOW.
YEAH. SO I'LL GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON POLICY.
I THINK THE MOST RECENT UPDATE FOR POLICY WAS BACK IN DECEMBER.
IT WAS HAD TO DO WITH SOME MEDICAL THINGS.
WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ANY POLICY UPDATES OR REVIEWING ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.
AND THEN I HAD OUR BOARD SCORECARDS.
THAT FULL REPORT, THOUGH, WAS SHARED AT A BOARD MEETING.
SO ALL OF THAT INFORMATION HAS ALREADY BEEN PUBLICLY SHARED.
UNLESS YOU'D LIKE FOR ME TO REHASH THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SO GOING FORWARD, WE CAN KEEP ALL THOSE THE SAME.
SO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHAT TOPIC YOU'RE REPORTING ON, IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE.
AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT IN MAY.
ARE YOU ALL GOOD WITH THAT? RIGHT. OK. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON.
SO WE DID KIND OF PERUSE THEM IN OCTOBER.
WE HAD A FEW THINGS, BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY GET TO IT IN APRIL.
OF ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT THAT WE AS A COMMITTEE.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT, MICHELE? BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
[01:05:02]
I KNOW WE'RE OR NO, THAT'S COURTNEY'S COMMITTEE.ARE YOU NOT ON THAT? I'M SORRY.
OKAY. WHO ELSE IS ON THAT? FOR? MORNING, MICHELLE.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE BOARD PROCEDURES BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE AND THEN GIVE ANY IDEAS OR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO. WE'LL START WITH DES, BUT THEN WE DON'T REALLY DO HEADS OF OUR COMMITTEES, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY EITHER.
AND IF IT'S A SITUATION WHERE, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP IN MIND OF HOW MANY TRUSTEES YOU SPEAK TO.
SO IF YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH JULIE, THAT'S FINE.
YEAH, SHE SEND THEM TO YOU AND SEND YOUR IDEAS AND YOUR CONCERNS TO JULIE, AND THEN SHE CAN MAKE A LIST AND I CAN GET IT OUT TO DEZ AND THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE SO THEN THEY CAN MEET WITH YOU AND SEE IF IT'S ANYTHING WORTH, YOU KNOW, ADDRESSING.
OKAY. SO ANYTHING ELSE ON THOSE BOARD COMMITTEES OR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES? NEXT, ADVOCACY AND ENGAGEMENT, COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS.
WE'RE MOVING ALONG WITH THOSE. OUR GOAL WAS A MINIMUM OF NINE.
I THINK WE'VE DONE FOUR SO FAR.
FIVE. HAVE WE DONE FIVE? AND THEN WE HAVE A FEW MORE SCHEDULED FOR THIS MONTH.
AND SO WE'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG ON TRACK WITH THAT.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? BIANCA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO IT? NO. OKAY. ANY OTHER.
THIS WAS THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING ONE.
BOARD MEMBERS VISIBLE AT SCHOOL EVENTS.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT WE WANTED LIKE 75% ATTENDANCE AT KEY EVENTS.
IF YOU ALL REMEMBER WHAT ON THIS THING, IT SAYS 90, AND THIS ONE SAYS 75.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M LOOKING AT THE RIGHT NUMBER.
SO THAT'S LIKE FOUR OF US AT KEY EVENTS.
AND WE KIND OF HAVE PULLED SOME OUT.
LIKE, GRADUATION WOULD BE ONE.
I'M TRYING TO FIND MY CHART HERE, LIKE BACK TO SCHOOL BARS, SCHOOL BAND, TOYS FOR TOTS.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD TAKE ANY OUT EVENTS LIKE WE'RE NOT THERE YET BECAUSE I'M THINKING WE'LL TALK ABOUT A FOOTBALL GAME, A BAND COMPETITION AND FFA STOCK SHOW.
ANYWAY, SO THAT ONE WAS, IT WAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE CALL KEY EVENTS WHERE WE IT'S WE WANT TO MAKE IT LIKE MANDATORY THAT I THINK ANYTHING SO I WOULD SAY ANYTHING THAT CONSISTS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
SO IF THAT'S A COMPETITION FOR OUR BAND KIDS IF IT'S A COMPETITION FOR OUR CHEERLEADERS, IF IT'S A DANCE TEAM COMPETITION, IF IT'S THE CULINARY KIDS WITH, YOU KNOW, AND WELL, THEY DID A BARBECUE LAST WEEK, RIGHT? WELL, WHAT WAS GREAT, WHAT WE AGREED ON IS THE BASELINE WAS GRADUATION CONVOCATION, CHAMBER LUNCHES AS A IF YOU WANT PLAYOFF GAMES, RETIREMENT PARTIES, DEDICATIONS, TEACHER OF THE YEAR, BREAKFAST, TOP SCHOLARS, EVENTS, SIGNING DAYS, WHETHER IT'S ATHLETIC OR WHILE SUMMER MUSICALS AND FINE ARTS.
IF YOU WENT TO ANY OF THESE IT WASN'T A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAD THAT THESE WERE TOYS FOR TOTS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YEAH, SOME TIME I JUST MET, THESE ARE THE ONES WE AGREED ON.
SO SOME THAT THIS IS KIND OF WHAT I'VE KIND OF PULLED TOGETHER.
YOU ALL TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
BUT LIKE, I GROUPED ATHLETIC EVENTS TOGETHER, SO THAT COULD BE.
[01:10:02]
WELL, THAT'S HOW I HAD THEM LISTED ON THE SPREADSHEET.BASICALLY, ANYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL WAS ONE LINE.
ANYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH COMMUNITY WAS ON ANOTHER.
SO TO GET THEM ON THE TRACK, I CAN'T PUT ALL OF THESE ON THE CHART.
SO WHAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO WHEN WE ARE REPORTING ON THEM IS KIND OF WHAT ARE THE KEY EVENTS FOR AUGUST? WHAT ARE THE KEY EVENTS FOR SEPTEMBER? RIGHT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BACK TO SCHOOL BASH AND THAT'S FAIR, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND CONVOCATION.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW HOW MANY SCHOOL EVENTS THERE ARE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? NO.
WE CAN REPORT THAT EVERY MONTH.
AND THEN I HAVE CAMPUS EVENTS.
SO IF A CAMPUS INVITES US TO GO TO THEIR TRUNK OR TREAT, THEN THAT WOULD BE TELLING HOW MANY WERE THERE THAT MONTH AND DO WE HAVE FOUR OR SEVEN OR WHATEVER THAT ATTENDED THOSE CAMPUS EVENTS? RIGHT. SO THOSE WOULD STAY ON THAT REPORT.
IT'S JUST THIS WAS REALLY CHALLENGING TO TRY TO BREAK IT UP, TO GET THINGS TO SHOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AT OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE I CAN ONLY GET SO MANY THINGS TO FIT ON A PAGE AND THIS IS SO AM I HEARING YOU SAY SORRY? AM I HEARING YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE WANTING X AMOUNT OF PARTICIPATION AT EACH EVENT OR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS OVERALL, RIGHT.
BECAUSE I MEAN, BESIDES GRADUATION, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT IT'S KIND OF MANDATORY.
I MEAN, NOT EVERYBODY COULD BE, LET'S SAY, TOYS FOR TOTS, BUT IS THERE FOUR OF US THERE? AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
WE'RE LOOKING ONLY ON CERTAIN ONES.
SO ARE WE STICKING WITH THIS BASELINE EVENTS? RIGHT. OKAY. RIGHT. BUT WE CAN JUST TRY TO MAKE CLARIFICATION FOR EVERYONE.
LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, LIKE SCHOOL EVENTS.
APPARENTLY WHAT I'M WHAT I LOOK AT IS LIKE, WHAT DO WE FIND? WE'VE BEEN ATTENDING A BIG VARIETY OF ATHLETIC EVENTS.
SO I THINK THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN PROBABLY ALL SEVEN OF US HAVE ATTENDED, LIKE ATHLETIC EVENTS.
SO WE CAN PUT THAT ON THERE AND THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST 75% ATTENDANCE AT ATHLETIC EVENTS.
RIGHT. SO THAT OVERALL AND SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE INDIVIDUAL.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND THEN AT UI ARE FINE ARTS EVENTS.
WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THERE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT WE'RE SO I THINK WE CAN DO THAT TO KIND OF SHOW THE PUBLIC WHERE WE'RE SPENDING OUR TIME AND CROSS.
I HAVE A SUGGESTION ANY ANYTHING.
IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING TO POINT TO.
IN FACT, ONE CAN POINT TO AND YOU HAVE THE FIRST ONE.
STRICTLY DESIGNATED KEY, AND THEN 5% OR MORE YOU DESIGNATE THE AGREED THAT LIST IS DONE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY ATTITUDE.
AND THEN IF WE TAKE THE SECOND.
PART OF THAT JUST. A NUMBER OF SMALL GUYS DID.
IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT I THINK THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE VERY IMPRESSED.
RIGHT. OKAY. I THOUGHT WE HAD THAT LISTED A AND B, IT WAS AN A AND B, IT'S LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR BOTH OF US TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU WANT THE KEY MINUTES IF IT WAS FOR AN EARLIER.
AND THEN HOWEVER MANY ELSE WE ATTEND.
I THINK THAT'S HOW WE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S HOW WE REPORT IT TO JULIE.
LIKE, WE'LL JUST SAY I WAS AT SEVEN EVENTS THIS MONTH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I WILL LIST OUT THE EVENTS OR WHATEVER, BUT IT'S JUST I LIST THEM ALL OUT OVERALL BECAUSE, I MEAN, SOMETIMES SHE'LL GET INVITED TO A SCHOOL THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OR VICE VERSA.
SO IT'S JUST THAT I AGREE WITH THAT.
WE JUST LUMP THE WILL BE THE ONES THAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT, A PERCENTAGE OF THE ONES THAT WE HAVE.
I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND THEN THEY WOULD BE THE NUMBER OF JUST SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES.
HOW MANY BAND COMPETITIONS IF YOU WENT AND VISITED THE SCHOOL? IT'S LIKE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT A COMMUNITY.
THE COMMUNITY IS NOT INVITED, I GUESS, FOR GAMES.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S A SCHOOL.
WE SAY WHATEVER WE WANT YOU TO TO AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK PER WEEK.
SO THAT'S FOUR TIMES SEVEN NEXT.
YEAH. BECAUSE SOME MONTHS YOU CAN.
I MEAN, YOU CAN GET A LOT. WAS ALREADY PROVEN THAT THAT COULD BE.
YEAH. NOT JUST THE NUMBER TICKET.
[01:15:01]
YEAH I AGREE.YEAH. SO WE'LL DO A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING.
I JUST GET TOGETHER WITH THE COMMITTEE AND KIND OF ADJUST THAT, SO.
THAT ONE HAS BEEN JUST A CHALLENGE, SO.
FOR ACCOUNTABILITY WE WHEN WE ATTEND THESE EVENTS, MAKE SURE YOU'RE SENDING THEM TO JULIE.
I THINK THAT WE NEED IT. MAYBE HAVE IT IN BY A CERTAIN DAY BEFORE THE MEETING.
SO IS IT THURSDAY? FRIDAY. WHAT IS USUALLY SENDS OUT.
AND THEN I KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE REPORTING ON.
SO SHE'S SENDING OUT A GOOD TIME, YOUR TONE.
AND THEN I NEED TIME TO PUT THOSE THAT DATA INTO A CHART TO GET IT ON THERE.
SO IF YOU'RE WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE, I CAN'T GET THE ACCURATE DATA INTO THE CHART TO JULIE IN TIME FOR HER TO POST ON THE AGENDA FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE IT. SO AS A BOARD, OUR ACCOUNTABILITY IS MAKE SURE WHEN YOU'RE GOING MAYBE REPORT IN WEEKLY WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD JUST PICK A DAY THAT YOU SEND SOMETHING TO JULIE AND SAY, I ATTENDED SO MANY EVENTS THIS WEEK OR WHATEVER THAT SHOULD WE PUT A DATE? I MEAN, LIKE A DAY THAT I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS MY THOUGHT IS WE DON'T REPORT ON THIS EVERY MONTH.
I MEAN, MEANING IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE SCORECARD.
BUT. WELL, THIS ONE DOES THIS ONE DOES SHOW UP EVERY MONTH.
OKAY. WELL, THIS ONE IS ON IT'S ON THE DASHBOARD EVERY MONTH.
AND THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY, TOO, IS JUST TO JUST, YOU KNOW, HOW I AM RIGHT NOW.
BUT JUST TO BE FAIR, LIKE, YOU KNOW, LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.
DON'T BLUFF YOUR NUMBERS TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BETTER.
BOTH IF TWO OF OUR TEAMS ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER AND THE PLAYOFF GAMES, THAT'S ONE FOOTBALL GAME.
DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S THE JAGS AND THE BRONCOS, IT'S ONE FOOTBALL GAME, NOT TWO.
IT'S THE EVENT THAT YOU'RE ATTENDING.
YES. YEAH. THE COUNTING, THE EVENTS.
YEAH. SO JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL COUNTING THAT CORRECTLY IN THE SAME WAY.
OKAY. SO ARE WE GOOD WITH THAT? OK AND CRAIG, JUST ON THE NEXT ONE, THIS IS A CONTACTING OUR STATE OFFICIALS FOR OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
AND CRAIG JUST REPORTED ON THAT.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT'S OUR PERCENTAGE ON THAT? WHAT ARE WE WHERE ARE WE AT ON THAT? YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE I GOT THE 35%.
I'VE DONE A GOOD JOB THAT I CAN TELL.
SO I WOULD WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT NUMBER.
YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET ME. HANG ON, HANG ON. LET ME READ.
WHERE I WAS. AND IS THIS IS THAT NUMBER JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU AND CRAIG ARE REPORTING OR IF WE'RE CONTACTING? SO LOCAL OFFICIALS, LIKE IF I HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY, DO YOU WANT ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M LIKE, HEY, WHAT? YES. YOU SHOULD ADVOCATE.
YES. BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN REPORTING THAT.
I THINK WE PUT 100% LEGISLATORS INFORMED.
SO I THINK THAT MEANS OURS IN OUR AREA.
SO IT'S LIKE OUR COUNTY AND A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THOSE SEVEN OTHER AREAS THAT KIND OF ENCOMPASS OUR CITIES, YOU KNOW, SO A LITTLE BIT OF ANYBODY THAT'S THERE.
SO IF YOU'RE REACHING OUT TO AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, JUST LET JULIE KNOW.
AND THEN THAT WOULD WOULD HIT.
I THINK WE'VE HIT MOST. I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD.
I KNOW WE DEFINITELY HAVE HIT OUR GOAL OF OUR BASELINE OF 45.
AND I THINK ONCE ALL THESE OTHER SIDE CONVERSATIONS OR PUT IN.
YES, I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY YEAH.
SO I THINK WE'RE DOING WE'RE DEFINITELY I LIKE THAT ONE THAT WE PUT ON THERE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY CHALLENGED US TO JUST REALLY BE RESPONSIBLE AS A BOARD REACHING OUT, WHICH I AND THE REALITY IS I FEEL LIKE OUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS LIKE HEARING FROM US, LIKE THEY I AGREE THEY IF YOU HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, THEY'RE LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT DO YOU ALL I MEAN, THEY WANT OUR INPUT, YOU KNOW, OTHERWISE THEY'RE JUST HEARING FROM ALL THEIR OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH.
I MEAN, I'VE GOTTEN REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THEM WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THEM.
YEAH. SO IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN GOOD.
OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THAT?
[01:20:04]
THEN WE'RE DOWN TO OUR TEAM OF EIGHT PROGRESS MEETINGS.WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THOSE ONCE A QUARTER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE MISSED THE ONE IN NOVEMBER.
AND THEN WE'RE MEETING NOW, AND THEN WE HAVE MAY.
SO WE'RE I MEAN, DO WE WANT TO SQUEEZE ONE IN OR WE JUST SAY WE JUST DIDN'T HIT 100%.
I LIKE B 75 6.1 TEAM OF EIGHT PROGRESS MEETING.
BUT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO ONE A QUARTER.
SO TECHNICALLY, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MORE SCHEDULE THAT WE MISSED IN NOVEMBER.
I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. I THINK THAT WAS JUST I THINK THAT'S OKAY.
YEAH, I THINK WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT IF YOU ALL ARE OKAY.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS WE PUT THAT IN THERE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR PARTNERSHIP BUDDY KIND OF THING.
I DON'T KNOW ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT.
THAT WAS TO PUT US TRY TO GET US TO COMMUNICATE AND DO THINGS TOGETHER.
I THINK ORIGINALLY IT WAS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE YOUR MENTOR PER SE, BUT I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS BECAUSE WE'RE ON COMMITTEES OR WE'RE ON, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND I THINK THAT WE STARTED TO SAY, IF WE'RE HAVING A LENGTHY CONVERSATION OR SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH THE TIME FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, BOARD, THEN THAT'S CONSIDERED.
SO, I MEAN, THAT'S I THINK WE SHOULD CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE ON HERE.
MAYBE YOU COULD SAY FOR ANYBODY HAS.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS. BE AWARE OF HOW YOU MAKE THAT CONVERSATION.
YOU KNOW, ALWAYS KEEPING IN MIND THAT YOU CAN ONLY MEET WITH OR DISCUSS A TOPIC, A TOPIC THAT HAS TO DO WITH MORE BUSINESS WITH NO MORE THAN TWO OTHER TRUSTEES. SO JUST ALWAYS KEEP THAT.
SO. AND I THINK I THINK THE WHOLE POINT WAS THIS IS TO GET US TOGETHER AND COMMUNICATING, BECAUSE IT'S WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO ONE SOMETHING TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH WITH SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD. SO I DON'T I KNOW IT KIND OF STARTED OUT AS DOING SOMETHING WITH YOUR MENTOR, BUT I THINK IT'S.
SO. SO IF, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY ENJOYS LIKE BIANCA AND I'VE ATTENDED SOME PLAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IF YOU KNOW THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT IS TO KIND OF GET US OUT OF JUST FOCUSING ON THE WORK AND DOING SOMETHING THAT WE FIND IN COMMON WITH ONE ANOTHER WHERE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.
AND IT'S JUST LIKE THE ACTIVITY THAT HOLLY HAD US DO.
IT WAS GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER WITHOUT THE WORK, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND SO WE CROSS OFF BUDDY AND JUST LEAVE IT BOARD MEMBER PARTNERSHIP.
AND THEN JUST, JUST FOR US ALL TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO A BASKETBALL GAME, PICK SOMEBODY.
YEAH, INVITE SOMEBODY IF LIKE, HEY, I DO A GOOD JOB OF THAT.
YES, YOU DO. BECAUSE I WANT SOME HELP.
AND I'M LIKE THAT, TOO. IT'S ALWAYS I ALWAYS ENJOY THINGS MORE IF I HAVE A BUDDY TO GO WITH.
SO EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO THE BASKETBALL GAME OR A VOLLEYBALL GAME OR ANY ANYTHING LIKE THAT, A BAND CONCERT OR WHATEVER, REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY AND JUST SAY, HEY, ARE YOU GOING TONIGHT? YOU WANT TO GO? BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL THAT WILL HELP BUILD OUR RELATIONSHIP IN AND JUST HELP US COMMUNICATE BETTER IS I THINK THAT WAS ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE VISION I HAD WHEN WE PUT THIS ON HERE.
IT'S JUST TO HELP US WORK BETTER TOGETHER BECAUSE WE ARE WE HAVE A FANTASTIC BOARD.
SO MUCH DOING SO MUCH OTHER CRAZY STUFF.
I APPRECIATE THAT. I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT EVERYBODY DOES.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY JUST ADD TO THAT? I JUST APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS, BIANCA, HAS PUT INTO MAKING THIS SCORECARD, BECAUSE YOU CAN SAY THAT.
IT'S AN EVER WORKING DOCUMENT.
RIGHT. AND JUST LIKE ANYTHING, WE WANT TO ALWAYS IMPROVE.
IF WE DIDN'T REACH SOMETHING OR WE MADE SOME CHANGES, YOU KNOW, TO ACCOMMODATE EVEN OUR STAFF WHEN WE HAD OUR ORIGINAL SCORECARD MANY YEARS AGO, THEY EVEN DISCUSSED HOW AT SOME POINT WHAT THINGS DROP OFF, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S JUST IT'S A GIVEN NOW, WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE 100% OR WHATEVER THAT IS.
SO I THINK I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT AND WORKING SO WELL ON IT.
