[5. Reconvene]

OKAY. IT IS 8:00 AM AND WE ARE NOW RECONVENING FROM CLOSED SESSION.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS AND LET ME READ WHAT I HAVE TO.

[6. Public Comments]

THE CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR ADDRESSING THE BOARD DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS IS AS FOLLOWS.

EACH SPEAKER SHOULD ADDRESS THE BOARD FROM THE PODIUM MICROPHONE AND STATE HIS OR HER NAME BEFORE SPEAKING.

ALL SPEAKERS WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES TO MAKE COMMENTS REGARDING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA, UNLESS MODIFIED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT BASED ON BOARD POLICY BED LOCAL COPIES OF PRESENTATIONS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL TRUSTEES, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT .

BOARD POLICY PROHIBITS THE DISCUSSION OR COMPLAINTS AGAINST DISTRICT EMPLOYEES DURING AN OPEN FORUM.

I THINK I HAVE THREE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THIS IS ALL OF THEM, RIGHT, MR. WILLIAMS? SO OUR FIRST ONE IS RANCE HOFFMAN.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

YOU'RE FINE. HE'S ABOUT AS AWAKE AS I AM.

DR. CANTU SCHOOL BOARD.

GOOD MORNING. I HAVE A 2 MINUTE AND 59 SECOND COMMENT PREPARED, BUT I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY COFFEE, SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CONSOLIDATE IT.

I'M ACTUALLY HERE THIS MORNING JUST TO ASK FOR YOUR VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE BOND THAT YOU HEARD OF EARLIER THIS WEEK.

SO I KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT IT OVERNIGHT OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS HOW MANY TIMES IN OUR KIND OF HISTORY DO WE GET A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING THAT REALLY IMPACTS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? THIS IS ONE OF THOSE, WHETHER IT IS EARLY EDUCATION OR A BUS OR THE ATHLETIC FACILITIES, THIS BOND TOUCHES ALL OF THOSE. THERE'S VERY FEW NEGATIVES.

SO I HOPE THAT WE GET EVERYONE'S, VOTE FOR, YES OR A YES VOTE FOR THE BOND.

SO THAT'S ALL I GOT.

THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MARTY MELTON.

MARTY IS NOT HERE TODAY.

OKAY, WELL, HE'S A PRETTY BIG GUY.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT SEE HIM. LET'S SEE.

RENEE TRUSSELL.

GOOD MORNING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

CANTU. MY NAME IS RENEE TRUSSELL, AND I WAS ON THE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE, AND I AM HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR Y'ALL TO SUPPORT THE BOND ELECTION.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR MISD STUDENTS, AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS A PARENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBER.

[00:05:03]

I THINK EVERYTHING ON IT WILL BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS IN A GREAT WAY.

AND, THIS BOND HAS A GENERATIONAL IMPACT IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY.

AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO KEEP MISD A DESTINATION DISTRICT.

SO PLEASE CONSIDER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WELL, WITH THAT BEING THE END OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS, WE MOVE TO OUR BUSINESS ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

[7. Business Items Requiring Board Action]

I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION.

AND IF, THE TRUSTEE MAKING THE MOTION, WOULD PLEASE READ THE LANGUAGE.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO CONSIDER ALL MATTERS.

INCIDENT AND RELATED TO CALLING AND HOLDING A BOND ELECTION, INCLUDING THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDER PERTAINING THERETO.

ALL RIGHT. IS THERE A SECOND ON THE MOTION? OH, ACTUALLY, I SAW MISS NEWSOM FIRST.

I'M SORRY [INAUDIBLE]. SO WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY MISS FARRAR AND A SECOND MADE BY MISS NEWSOM.

WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR ANY STATEMENTS ANY TRUSTEES WOULD LIKE TO MAKE BEFORE VOTING? OKAY WITH THAT? I'LL ASK ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION MAY I PLEASE SEE A SHOW OF HANDS? AND THERE ARE NONE LEFT FOR THE OPPOSED.

SO THE MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

AND YES, I THINK SO.

AND SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO ADJOURN AT 8:04 A.M..
