We appreciate your interest in the activities of our students and the business of SISD. All items that will be discussed at our meeting this evening have been posted as required by state law. Also, as you may be aware, our board meets a minimum of two times per month, and most, if not all, of the items on our agenda this evening have previously been discussed at our earlier pre-aggenda board workshop. As members of the SASD board of trustees,
002we are here to set goals, listen to reports from our superintendent, approve budgets, contracts, and personnel appointments, and to make policy for the district. Please keep in mind that our mean is a mean of the board of trustees held in public and not a mean of the public. However, we have a public comment item on every one of our meeting agendas that allows anyone present who wishes to speak to our board team on an item not on our action agenda or an action item on the agenda an opportunity to do so. Please provide your name and contact information and the specific topic you wish to address on a public comment form located at the back of the room. Should you want to speak on an issue um this evening, please listen carefully and comply with
003the following rules so that you can move through this part of the meeting efficiently. Each speaker will be given a total of three minutes. The district will provide an official timekeeper.

In order that the recording will adequately reflect the proceedings, I ask that you please refrain from talking while others are speaking. I also ask, as I remind my fellow board members, to please turn off or silence your cell phones. Again, thank you for being here and for your support of SISD. Sorry, checking my own phone. Um, with that, we're going to move forward with our invocation. CJ Lucky, the student leadership pastor at Paul Baptist Church
005is here this evening to assist us with that. Thank you for being here. Yes, sir. It's an honor. Thank you guys board. We greatly appreciate you guys and how you serve. Everybody, let's bow our heads and let's go to the Lord in prayer. Dear heavenly father, Lord, first and foremost, we just thank you for the honor, the privilege it is to approach your throne of grace. Thank you for the sacrifice of your son, Jesus Christ. Father, we have communication to you, Father. We just ask, Father, as we get ready to prepare for this this board meeting that's about to take place, Father, that you give us wisdom, Father, we just thank you for the board and how they serve, Father, and that you would grant them wisdom. You said in your word in James 1:5,
006Father, that if anyone lacks wisdom to ask you and you would give it generously and uh without finding fault that we would have it unto us. And Father, you also said in the book of Proverbs, Father, without wise counsel, plans fail, but in a multitude of advisers they succeed. So, Father, we pray for wisdom today. Father, we thank you for our community, our beautiful community of St. Angelo. Father, that you continue to wrap our community in your loving arms. We just thank you so much for the family oriented community we have here, Father, and that uh we love uh to serve uh students and educators, Father, and we do everything for the best interest of them, Father. So, we just thank you so much for what you're doing, not only in our community, but through
007our community, Father. And we truly believe the best is still yet to come, Father. We thank you and we cement this in your precious son, Jesus, holy name, I pray, the name above every single other name there is. Everybody say, "Amen." Amen. Thank you. So now we are lucky to have some elementary school students from Crockett Elementary. We have Crosby Huppard, Tuckerfield, Olivia Lopez, and Charlotte Arnison. And they're going to stand up and we're all going to join them. We're going to say the pledges. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it standy and justice for alliance to the Texas one indivisible. [Applause] All right, thank you all parents for getting your kids here and helping us with that this evening. Thank you kids from Crockett Elementary. Um,
008next we're going to move forward with some recognitions. And first, Shannon Schwarz is going to help us recognize our military students and appreciation to the men and women of Goodfellow Air Force Base. Okay, good afternoon. So, across our nation, April is designated as month of the military child. It's a time set aside to recognize a very special group of young people here in St. Angelo. Their stories are a part of the fabric of our community. They sit in our classrooms, play on our teams, and bring a sense of strength and resilience to St. Angelo that's truly inspiring. These students face challenges that many of their peers don't, including frequent moves, long separations from parents, and the constant adjustments that come with military life. And yet, they show up every day with courage, optimism, and a
009willingness to adapt. They remind us what it means to be strong in the face of change and adversity. St. Angelo ISD is proud to serve nearly 500 military connected students and we are equally proud that five of our schools, Belair Elementary, Glennmore Elementary, Glenn Middle School, Lonear Middle School, and Central High School have earned the Purple Star designation from the Texas Education Agency. This recognition speaks to our commitment to welcoming and supporting these students and their families. So now we just want to take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you to our military friends and families within Goodfellow Air Force Base. Your children inspire us and your presence strengthens our schools and our community. Your contributions to this community don't go unnoticed. This month and always we celebrate our military kids and we s
010stand beside them with gratitude and pride. Thank you, Shan. Um, next we're going to do recognition of the Lake View Boys and Girls powerlifting and coach Rodney Chance going to help us with that. He's right there in the middle. Thank you, Dr. Keeman, Dr. Moran, board of trustees. It's an honor to recognize um boys and girls state powerlifting qualifiers. Our uh third uh young man is on his way. He's at baseball practice and he's about a minute away. So hopefully um we're not done by the time he gets here. So um so first off, I want to recognize Malia Biones who is a senior. U Malia was the regional champion in the 181 weight class and was 10th at state this year. We also have Janiah Jefferson who is a junior. She was runner up
011at regionals in the 259 weight class. She holds the regional record for the deadlift at 425 lbs. She finished third place at state this year in the same weight class. She set a new state deadlift record on all three attempts going 410, 425, and then 440. So, um being a junior, uh she's going to blow that away next year. There's no doubt about that. So, um, next we have, um, and he's not here again, Ethan Packard. Um, Ether is is a junior. Um, he was the regional champion in the 132 weight class and he finished fourth at state this year. So, two of the three will be coming back. And so, um, we expect great things to happen. And the head coach for the Chiefs and Maiden Powerlifting team is Sergio Plat. So, if you
012wouldn't mind giving them a round of applause for an outstanding season. Come on in, Ethan. This is Ethan Packard and finished fourth at state this year in the 132 weight class. Ethan, you went to state last year, correct? Yes, sir. That's what I thought. And Jana, you went to state last year. And Bion is what? Oh, you broke your arm last year. Okay. If you're relatives of of one of these athletes, would you please stand and be recognized as well? We appreciate your support for them throughout the season. Thank you very much. Yeah. almost ready. All right, those people are strong. Um, so next we're going to do recognition of Sanel ISD difference maker day and Shannon is here to help us again. Okay. Hello again. Tonight, we're honored to recognize the incredible generosity of
013our community partners who joined us in celebrating the heart of St. Angel, our educators and our staff. Across the district, our team members impact nearly 13,000 students every single day. During our fourth annual SISD differencemaker day on March 7th, officially proclaimed by Mayor Gunter, 30 community partners stepped up in a really big way. They adopted campuses and departments across the district, delivering thoughtful treats and messages of appreciation to almost 2,000 team members. Several even supported multiple locations, ensuring our difference makers felt truly seen, uplifted, and valued. Their generosity reminds us of how powerful community can be in supporting the people who shape the future of our students in our community every day. We sincerely appreciate these amazing partners. So now if you would just look at the screen, these are some of the incredible partners
014that make what we do possible and really make an impact in the lives of our students and educators. So please join us as we thank these amazing partners and help support Differencemaker [Applause] Day. All right, next is item five, public comment. Shannon, do we have anyone signed up over there? No. All right, we'll move forward with information items and we're going to start with an update on Head Start programming considerations and Dr. Gomez is going to help us with that. Yeah, you gonna be there for a second. Yes. Dr. Kingman, Dr. Moran, and members of the board. This evening, we want to give an update as part of our district facility discussions specific with uh the district and the council of government for Head Start. As you all are aware, currently um COG, the council
015of government occupies two of the district facilities, Rio Vista and Day. So, as we've been reviewing all of the district's facilities, as you all are very well aware of our needs charts, and not only did we review our uh facilities occupied with students, but every facility that we maintain in the district. So, we know with both Rio Vista and Day, there's a lot of work for those particular campuses. Also, Dr. Brandon has previously shared age of these facilities as part of our overall district facility updates. So talking specifically with day and Rio Vista, looking at the age of those facilities and the year they were built and the number of years in age and the cost to continue to maintain even though we do have an agreement with COG, it is expensive on the district's
016end. Most important in everything we do, we know it's Dr. Marann's um belief as well. above all students first. So a facility is simply a facility. It's the academic connections that occur in those facilities that directly impact our student outcomes. While we have a great partnership with COG, we know from our district data, the earlier we can have students in any structured environment, the better for their school success. We've had numerous conversations about pre kindergarten students if they've had experiences or not and then entering our kindergarten classrooms. So while yes, age of facilities is one consideration, we really want to impact the academic consideration that goes alongside both the financial impact. So, it's not a new conversation about the number of students in SEISD that enter kindergarten well below grade level. It's important that we
017have strong partnerships with all agencies and especially in working with COG as they serve three and four year olds in the community as well. So, as a part of all of these considerations from our partnerships to analyzing the age of our facilities to recap prior conversations, we've already shared with all of you and most importantly with our staff moves that we know that are going to take place. So, it's not news, new news to you that Sam Houston, our special programs department, and I do want to clarify special programs because sometimes that's said just a special education where special education is one special program. Sam Houston also includes 504, dyslexia, multiple programs outside of just special education. So, those staff members are set to move to the former Oaks building and those moves will take
018place at the 1st of May. Um, we're very lucky to have great people. This is coordinated efforts between Mr. Henry's staff, between Mr. Kennedy's staff, between curriculum and instruction staff to make all of these things move. and most importantly that we don't stop services to students and families. So that's why the moves are very coordinated. And Sam Houston will first move in tears May 5th, May 7th, and May 9th. And they will occupy the upstairs portion of the former Oaks building. And also, it's not new information for you, but to recap. Additionally, going to those facilities, Carver will be housed in the annex portion of the Oaks facility. Carver will not be moved until after school is out. We do not want to interrupt the learning environment for students. Additionally, pays will be moved to
019the St. Oaks facility, but they will be located downstairs. Um, many of you are very familiar with the facility. So, when you first go onto the Oaks facility, there's the double main doors, but there's an entrance to the left to the left of the shade structures as a small set of stairs and a door. Pays would be located on that side of the lower section of the Oaks building on the of the newer side, the newer building, the Yes, correct. The side for Carver is the historical building, the annex. Yes, it too would have a separate entry point for students, Mr. Gagos. So what that does, it allows um Carver and Pays to be on one facility, but very important for DAP requirements, it allows the students that are at Carver to be separated from
020the other students on the facility because also as a reminder for everyone, our CTE double block classes for both Lake View and Central are in the back portion of the facility off of Magdalene. Okay. And it also allows we're very fortunate that Miss Bacera who is the principal of Carver and the coordinator of PAS is able to juggle multiple responsibilities but split locations has been a barrier where she could not be on site for both programs and now she will. So, going back to those financial efficiencies through this district facility review process, again, students always come first. But what this also does is it allows the district to make appropriate reduced staffing decisions. When you have more staff centrally located, it does eliminate the need for some additional positions. A great cost is the reduction
021for safety and security. Um, currently, for example, at the CTE double blocks, we don't have an officer on campus every day. This would have an officer on that facility for all the programs that are housed there. Carver pays and the CTE classrooms. Utility savings. Um, we know the increased costs we feel as private homeowners. you all review every month the district utility gas and water and sewer costs. So again, by eliminating all the multiple auxiliary facilities, there's a savings there. This is a big savings for Mr. Kennedy's department in the reduced facility maintenance which puts less of a strain on his department. And then last but certainly not least, there is the eventual property and casualty insurance save savings on those vacated properties. So really just want to go back because that was the big
022overview but wanted to start starting back to that partnership with COG. You'all already had all the information about Sam Houston pays Carver. You knew the district was in conversation with COG about what do we need to do for better uh conditions for your staff and students from day in Rio Vista and academic improvements for having students more aligned with SISD's preK and kindergarten programs. So, all of these multiple conversations have been ongoing and we continue to work with COG to make the move where we can put them on a better facility and not have to run both Rio and Day. Do you have general questions that I can answer? I just have a couple quick easy questions. So, this the special programs it's all staffing that's going to be upstairs. No students. Is that correct?
023Because Sam Houston's does not house any students. It it houses all the various staff members that work to support the services offered through special programs. Gotcha. And as what are the plans or we may not have any plans to do at the old facilities at this time like day and I'll comment on that. So our plan is when we vacate to go back and evaluate and then bring a recommendation to the board. But I think it's going to be a case by case depending on the the campus, the age, the condition. We have a decision to make on whether or not it's worth to repair the buildings, put new roofs, new HVACs, uh repair, you know, plumbing issues. If it's not worth it, then the recommendation would be to raise the building and then decide
024as a district what we want to do with that property. uh in the a good example Sam Houston I don't I don't think it's uh premature to already tell you I don't see that Sam Houston's got a bright future when we vacate that building we'll evaluate it but from the initial evaluation you know it it doesn't look like that would be a campus we would use to put kids in or programs in so uh then it just boils down to the cost of remediating and you know the asbestous and what's the cost of demoing the building. So that's a case by case. Excellent. Thank you. And Dr. Moran, just on that note, just as a board, you know, occasionally we get uh comments about an old elementary that the district no longer owns. Uh, and
025so I think making sure that we and for those neighborhoods that those buildings are in, we make sure that we're being conscientious about what we do with those properties so they don't just deteriorate among people's homes. And yeah, I mean, Travis Elementary is is an example of that. It's, you know, well-meaning, uh, good intentions, but it sits vacant and it really is an eyesore there for the community. I will make an additional comment about the whole Head Start conversation. uh because it started with um the West Texas Rehabilitation Center provides related services for those kids. Those kids are not enrolled in our district, by the way. Um there's more than 400 kids that are three and four years old that we don't touch. We don't know who they are, only if they come to us
026in kindergarten. Uh there was there was some billing issues there with West Texas Rehabilitation and Head Start and West Texas Rehab wasn't able to provide the services needed. So now for several months there's been a a disconnect there and we're looking that's where the conversation started. How can we re-engage for those kids that will ultimately hopefully be our kids? how can we get them involved in an academic classroom with our employees with related services being provided to them? And so there's been some really productive conversations between West Texas Rehab and the COG head start specifically. And I think there's really some opportunity here for this to be a winw win for the kids, for the COG, for West Texas Rehab, and for St. Angelo ISD. Okay. Well, let me comment. I know we had we
027had the head start up until two or three years ago, four years ago. Five or six. Five or six when we got away from it. And one of the reasons we got away from it is because we couldn't change. We had to teach their curriculum the the the what COG provides. Head Start. Yeah, the Head Start. We couldn't use our curriculum in there. So, how would we bypass it or how could we do something? Well, we're in discuss we can get those 400 kids ready to come into we're in discussion with them. It part of it's the grant and what and how they've operated their program, but they are absolutely on board with trying to make this work uh for their kids because what we think can help if you think about the staff and
028the teaching and the professional learning that goes on. If we provide support for them through that process as well and uh give them a better space to learn, we think that we can really move the needle and the curriculum has been been a point of conversation and that's not an impossible thing to achieve. Okay. It's just the way you write the grant or whatever you ask. Yeah. Because they they use one curriculum, we use a different one. Ours we hope would be prek through 12 so that those kids can begin that foundational build so that you know when we get them to second and third grade they really got a strong foundation. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. You bet. And Dr. Miranda to close on that really to to wrap that up. Um we are in
029continued conversations and we'll continue to update the board as we work with COG um not only on the curriculum that you asked about Mr. but also potential ADA impacts. More than anything though, the stress is how can we help support a structured environment for all children in SISD as early as possible. Thank you, Dr. Gomez. You're now up on summer programming for this summer of 2025. Okay. So, this next report is in alignment with the mission of St. Angelo ISD, which all of you are well aware. It's to engage all students in a relevant and inspiring education that produces future ready graduates and also the direct connection to the 2425 superintendent board goals that were adopted in September of 2024. The last regular board meeting we discussed the goal one under academics and at that
030time I told you we would be discussing goal two in this evening's regular board meeting. So goal two is St. Angel will increase the percentage excuse me I just said that backwards. I apologize for that. Goal one um was not discussed last month. We discussed goal two. So let me um correct my error there. So this evening we will discuss goal one. St. Angel's uh robust summer academic programming for elementary students identified as needing academic intervention in the summer of 2025. We do have additional summer programs beyond that elementary specific goal. But we'll begin first with elementary because um sometimes there's a misconception of summer programming just being summer school. We have multiple different summer programming supports for students and families. So that's why we want to clarify. So to begin in elementary, we will
031have summer school in the month of June, June 4th through the 26 held at both Glennmore and Golad Elementary. This support is specific to students entering second grade and students entering fifth grade. Sometimes we get questioned how did the district determine those grade levels. So we have multiple points of progress measuring with data points which we update the board knowing the importance of strong early literacy skills and looking at cohorts of students. We need to provide further support for this current cohort of students entering second grade. they will receive instruction in both reading and math, but a a great emphasis on reading specific in that grade. And then in fifth grade, there's a number of factors. Um I think Miss Duncan, we've had multiple conversations over this. There's a number of factors as students finish
032up elementary and then transition into secondary where they have shorter periods. So the fifth grade to provide additional support for students again in both the area of reading and math. Then under emergent bilingual, there are specific administrative codes for emergent bilingual students and one of those is offering a summer program if you meet certain criteria, which our district does. In um Texas administrative code, it specifies the grade levels for that program, and those are for students entering kindergarten and first grade. So that emergent bilingual program will be held at Golad Elementary for students and families in the emergent bilingual classification anywhere throughout St. Angelo ISD. Okay. So all of our elementary campuses if they meet that criteria and students are entering kindergarten or first grade that would be the program for support. Now it does
033require um parents to accept the invitation to participate in that program. So that's the difference there. Parents have to accept it. Then we have continued as part of the robust program summer programming support with a partnership with the YMCA. As you are all aware, the YMCA uses our SEISD facilities for child care. And so as a part of this program in July, the district and the YMCA will be working together to provide both the academic support and reading and math, but also if child care is a barrier for families, we have the YMCA partnership for the month of July that will be specific to those fifth graders again who need um very structured and specialized support in the areas of both reading and math. And then last, but certainly not least in elementary is a
034kindergarten jump start program. Not to be a broken record, but we know it's so important for students to have a smooth transition as they enter school and as they change levels. So, the kindergarten jump start programs offered. This is also important if you've never had to help kindergarteners hold a lunch tray or get in the routine of going to school and then a weekend comes and they're like, "What do you mean I have to go back to school on Monday?" All of those key transitions, them experiencing some of that before the first day of school is huge for their success as they transition. So that will be offered at four of our elementary sites, Buoie, Fannon, Glennmore, and Golad. It's also important that I note with the partnership with our child nutrition department, all of
035these campuses will be summer feeding sites to not only the students attending the programs but to the surrounding area if families want to come and take advantage of that summer feeding opportunity. Then moving it's okay to middle school. Again, the transition here is so important. um going from fifth t fifth grade it's okay fifth grade to sixth grade is a huge transition for students and families sometimes more so for the parents than the students the students usually um adjust to the transition but it is a time of a lot of questions for families so at all three of's middle schools we will host middle school uh jumpstart and the major goal of this program is that students experience the campus that they will be attending that they are familiar with the campus because in the
036spring semesters they go and do tour visits but that's with everybody from all the feeder campuses it's a very busy time. The jump start sessions offer a much more targeted focus on okay this is what you do when you come to school. This is how you find your classes. This is where you go to the office. this is where you go to the nurse. All those things that children and parents can have as potential concerns, but there is also an academic component. It's balancing those two. It's like Maslo's hierarchy of basic needs. So basic needs of how we do school and middle school, but while we're doing this, we're taking away knowledge and new learning through our academics. So there's your middle school support. And then high school we have multiple programs. First you see
037what is referred to as STEM. So that's um support in the areas of math and science classes. Uh as you all are very well aware of the state's end of course requirements. This is small groupoup direct instruction from certified teachers in the areas of math or science where students are still working on successfully completing an end of course. When it says there's session one and session two, what that means is the staff hired to work under those programs will provide that targeted small groupoup instruction at both high schools. So it's not a different set of teachers for each campus. It's okay. You're the STEM staff that's hired. First, you're serving math and science on this high school campus, and then the next session, you're transitioning over to the other campus. Humanities refers to English in
038the area of high school and social studies. So again, students needing small targeted instruction in those end of course areas. Then in the month of July, credit recovery support is offered at both of the campuses during the designated time periods for students that are still working to recover credits. Special education has a variety of supports and what's referred to as extended school year. Now, that doesn't mean, oh, we just have these students go to school longer. the the focus and the target for extended school year is defined by the AR committee. So the committee of stakeholders who are the decision makers for that students social, emotional and academic needs and that's very individualized from their individualized education plan. Um the secondary which means both middle school and high school will be held at Lake View
039and then elementary extended school year will be held at Lamar. There are regulations earlier I mentioned summer feeding. So there are federal regulations for a campus to meet that eligibility. Um, currently what our child nutrition department is being told is Lamar would not meet the eligibility to be a free summer feeding site. We do have the majority of our elementary aged materials for the specialized settings at Lamar. So, we definitely are not letting that be a barrier. We're having the instruction piece at Lamar and then providing busing to Golad, which does meet eligibility. So those students and families would still have free summer feeding opportunities. And then last you see inspire special education. I'm sorry because in education we have a lot of acronyms. Students that are arted and inspire need additional targeted behavior supports.
040We do offer those behavior supports for special education students meeting those requirements at all three levels, elementary, middle, and high school. The reason why it says to be determined is the ESY opportunities for those students is very individualized and very targeted. So for example, it could mean we have student A that needs two hours a day during the ESY time period. We could have a student that needs four hours a day. That's determined by the AR committee. What we want the board to know is those decisions are taking place um with recommendations from the art committees at this time and those services will be provided accordingly. So that's the general information about summer programming. The additional updates to provide the board in that area at the current time is the district has interviewed all qualified
041staff for the leadership positions and those positions were all announced and named prior to Easter. Currently, beginning today, um district teams are interviewing the teachers that have applied for those positions and they're doing that after school. All this is happening. We're right in the middle of 2025 state assessment. So, we don't want to interrupt classrooms. We don't pull teachers out. So, we interview where um schedules are not interrupted. Those began today, will run through about the 29th of April with all staff being notified by May 2nd if they have a position in the summer programming. Um it was important from the district to be aligned with the superintendent board goal of the robust program that we had certified staff and it wasn't an automatic guarantee because staff applied for the program that they would be
042given a position. Um, we need highly qualified educators at all times, but especially in very limited time frames to work with students who need targeted acceleration during the summer programming. So, the reason why you're seeing me instead of some of the other directors that are interviewing or that are working and supporting those programs is because they've been very busy working on interviews. So, any questions I can answer right now about summer programming? Yeah. Are y'all going to be providing the times, the start times and end times and all that? Yes, sir. And you're going to put because there are different hours for each program for staff and for teachers. So, what will happen, Mr. Gyos, is in the month of May. Um, specific information will go home to families. Like this week, there will be
043an announcement about summer programming, just the general information that I shared with you. Then as we're continuing to review end ofear data and as recommendations are made by teachers and campus leaders on students who need the additional targeted support, then registration forms go home to families. They give all of that information. For example, start time 8:00, end time 12:00, summer feeding until 1:00. All of those options go out with the registration paperwork. Okay. Thank you. Um, Farah, thank you for and all your people for organizing. That's a lot to pinpoint and get done. Um, I want to comment on the jump start for middle school and kindergarten that I really feel like jump start really touches those emotions and in today's world when there's high stress those kindergarteners and middle school kids being able to
044come and just walk through relieves a lot of anxiety that otherwise they would have. And then in high school we talk about the um math and science. Um so if I'm right, is that just biology and algebra? And with are they testing right after they are in there? And do the kids have to go to these classes? They don't have to go. They're highly encouraged. Absolutely. Okay. Now, um with retesting requirements, especially with those limitations, right, um if you haven't attended like a study session prior, that those are the conversations that take place of here's the testing date. This is what we're doing to support a retest. So, okay, good. I I love that. And same thing for um English one and two in US history. the test would be immediately afterwards and they would
045find out the results before school started. Yes. Yes. Okay. That also relieves a lot of anxiety and stress. So, thank you, Farah. Um I also had a comment about the middle school jump start. Um the kindergarten one was before happened after mine went to kindergarten. But middle school made such a huge difference for my middle schooler that um I encourage every year I encourage parents to plan your summer trips and gatherings around the middle school jump start. So do you know when those dates will be available yet? Yes, we can go back to that. Oh, sorry. I apologize for missing that. It's okay. Um, so Miss Miselle Flint, there are three different sessions that are offered. So session one is June 4th and 5th. Session two, June 9th and 10th, and session 3, June 11th
046and 12th. Perfect. Thank you. That it just made, like you said, it made such a big difference for not just the kids, but for the parents for you to send your kids to middle school and be like, "Oh, they are okay when I picked them up." And they actually did have fun and they made friends. So, so thank you for putting that together again this year. And then I just wanted to ask a quick question about the um the extended day uh the kids who go to Lamar for for extended day and you said they go to Golad for lunch. Why do they go to Golad and not a close we can't feed them as part of the summer feeding program due to the federal requirements. Lamar doesn't meet that threshold. Right. But there's not
047a closer campus that they could go to. No, not from because we're running them within the programs. Um, so again, it costs the district to open up a kitchen to operate out of the kitchen. So we're offering them at centrally located areas throughout the community. And another goal that all of those students have, many of them transportation are part of their services. So it also gives staff opportunity, students opportunities and again very important parents opportunities of okay and your student rides the bus, if your student has a bus monitor, if your student requires a wheelchair lift, all of the things, you also get to work through that in that shorter time period which helps with any anxieties or concerns as well. Perfect. Thank you so much. Yes. Um the families do not they if they
048don't wish to take up the free transportation they can still transport and they could go to any one of those programs but at this case at this time in the school year you would be looking at Golad or Lake View. So to keep just kind of the same age as other programs that's why Golad was selected. Any other questions for Dr. Gomez? Just a reminder. All those students will be identified before the end of school. Yes sir. And those that information will be given to parents and we will continue to um provide the opportunities for parents and children to take the to take up these resources. Um but that will all be given to them before the school year is out. Absolutely. All of that information, in fact, we have general communication going out to
049families this week and all the specific registration paperwork goes out in May. Thank you, Dr. Gomez. Just a quick question. So, some of these programs we we've already had, but some of these are are brand new. Is that right? Or um we've had uh the ESY, the emergent bilingual. Um some of the changes like we've had high school um I'll say end of course preparation, which is probably what most teachers are accustomed to. A big change in the way we're offering that support this year is um holding tight to the curriculum that's used with a very well-defined plan in the time period before the test with our restructuring of our instructional coaches throughout the district but especially for high school where prior to this year we did not have instructional coach support in a number
050of years since that had um gone away. the IC's have built that very structured curriculum plan because there are a limited number of days before the retest opportunity. So that's a difference with that program. Also this year you've heard us share updates on a program that was approved for additional supports for students who um needed I think it's important to clarify this support is for students needing additional support but also that need enrichment through the program. um that's a computerized program that students have an individual pathway. Now in this setting to allow teachers to have the small groups which we tend to think more of an elementary level where teachers can call back a group of students then we will have additional staff monitoring as students are working on the LL program. So that's a
051difference in that area. Dr. Mill's um credit recovery. There's not a change other than having the focus on that program in the month of July. It's important that the district offers those opportunities, but it's more important that we have structures during the regular school year for students to be successful and to take advantage of the supports during the regular school year and not think the only time to recover credits is through the summer months. we have to change that mindset of I'll just get that credit in the summer. No, we need to be working on a daily basis during the school year to get that credit. Um, in the area of elementary, the uh grade levels change depending on student needs. And then the addition in this area is specific to the robust partnership with
052the YMCA. The YMCA has used our facilities for as long as I've been in the district. The change though is we're saying you're on our facilities. There's no cost for you to be on our facilities. You offer child care to the entire community which does include students outside of SISD. So the district's ask is that we work in partnership so families don't have a barrier to child care and so that students coming to be served by our staff during the designated time frame can then have an opportunity for child care if families need them to stay due to work etc. Thank you Dr. Gomez. Do you need some water? Nope. All right. We're next we're going to do the teacher incentive aotment expansion. Previously we've had board updates on the teacher incentive aotment also referred
053to as TIA. This evening we want to give you an update and I'll start first with a little bit of an overview. This is information you've heard before but it's important that we just recap. So again we are very acronym rich in the field of education. When you see TIA what does that mean? That means there is a designation for districts to apply for for teachers to meet one of the following categories. The top 5% in the state. So please note that's the state of Texas. That's not to any one school district. That's all teachers across the state. exemplary and recognized. In the current system, if a teacher holds a national board certification, they automatically receive the res uh recognized designation. So, that's just the recap. Now, a district's local designation has to include two
054components. Doesn't matter what district you're in in the state of Texas. you have input on how you define those areas, but one must be on student growth and the other must be on the teacher evaluation. So to recap, where are we in the process? Last year, St. Angelo ISD submitted and received approval on our application. What that means is this year the 2425 school year was our first data capture year. So as a part of that process by data capture the designated grade levels in our plan for both the student growth and the teacher observation. We're collecting data to submit to Texas Tech University and then ultimately to TEA to determine if a teacher falls in one of those statewide categories from both the student growth and their test evaluations. Now, the process is not
055automatic. I know last month we even discussed this. So, while this year is our data capture year, and I'll review those levels in just a second, teachers that make designations, they don't receive those designations in the additional compensation until the spring of 2026. So, that's just our recap. We started slow in our initial roll out. So this year first year of implementation in our plan we have six, seventh and eighth grade math and reading English one, English 2 and algebra 1. So those are the teachers that we will be submitting at the the end of this school year to see if they meet meet designation in one of those defined areas. Now, once a district has an accepted application, your application's accepted. But if you want to make any changes to your application, you have
056to submit what is called an expansion application. So through this process, it was a very broad group that first determined this year's group of teachers. We took that to leaders, district and campus level leaders and to SEISD's community- based accountability system where we have over 100 stakeholders. So coming up for this year for expansion expansion applications for any district in the state that already had an approved application were due by April 15th. The district completed their application and submitted. As you all are aware, we took the information to our CBS committee as well for considerations for that expansion application. It's important to note that while we had in our original application, we had kind of a proposed five-year roll out. Year one, the teachers I just clarified, year two, we were initially considering adding third
057through fifth math and reading. So all year, while officially 6 through 8 math and reading, English one, English 2, and algebra 1 are official teachers under data capture, we've still been working and training elementary leaders to be fully prepared to start implementation for data capture with the 2526 school year. But then we're in a very active legislative session and there are two bills that brought needed further discussion around teacher incentive aotment. You may have read or heard about Senate Bill 26 or House Bill 2, which both of these proposed additional funding for teacher incentive aotment. The reason why this is so important, as I just reviewed in our recap, if you don't have designated teachers and grade levels in your plan, it's multiple years out before those teachers can receive designations and potential additional compensation.
058So, both of these plans propose to add additional funding to the state's TIA aotment because remember this additional compensation if a teacher meets one of those designated areas does not come from the local school district's general fund. This money comes from the state. Okay. So what these plans propose in the legislative session is the addition of a fourth tier went over the master exemplary recognized they propose an acknowledge tier. They propose expanding the TIA designations to including the top 50% of teachers in the state of Texas. So, what the district had to consider was when we submit our first expansion application or when we did, did we want to reconsider only adding third and fifth math and reading, did we want to look at potentially adding additional grade levels and content areas so our teachers
059would have the opportunity for additional compensation? Going through that process, the final decision was made to add the following to the plan, beginning with the 2526 school year. PreK reading, third through fifth grade math and reading. Okay, that was part of the plan all along. Um, fifth grade science, 8th grade science and biology, eighth grade social studies and US history. One of the bullets is not showing in the slideshow. I'm not sure why. Um, kinder and first grade reading. I don't know how it got caught cut off. So, in essence, what that does is from preK through high school, teachers have eligibility around the area of literacy. We know the importance of strong literacy for all of our students. Um the difference is the assessment tools in our current plan and our original proposed plan.
060The measure for the student growth was MAP for preK. Again, I don't know how many of you um have used or taught a preK student. We would love to have any of you come and serve lunches at the beginning of school. Just help them hold their trays, especially open ketchup or milk. But to have a pre-K student just test like the MAP test is given for older students on a computer is not the avenue the district wanted to take. So the assessment specified for preK was circle or CLI which our teachers currently administer. So our teachers are familiar and families that have had students go through the programs are familiar with that assessment. For kindergarten and first grade, the decision was not made to use MAP because again of the delivery of the assessment on
061the computer. So the decision for kinder and first grade was specific to MC class which you hear us report on the early literacy assessment. Again, teachers are familiar of the assessment. Now, one of the things as we've listened and taken feedback from campus principles and teachers is the amount of time it takes for the assessments to to assist and the earliest grades kinder and first with this addition will be the creation of a district assessment team. So, there's assistance for those teachers because of the way the administration of the assessments have to be given. And then starting in second grade, we would use MAP as our measure for reading. So I know that's a lot of real in the weed details, but when you expand your application, you have to specify the assessment. For all
062of the other areas, third through fifth grade math and reading, we have the MAP option. Fifth grade, 8th grade, and biology, we have MAP. We're already administering MAP. eighth grade social studies in US history, there is not an option for a map. So, we've been working for about a year now on looking at additional assessment options and the decision has been made to use the only um option that's not teacher created assessments which is called Exploros. And so, there's a pre and post test through this vendor that districts can use. Staff can't preview the assessments in advance, but they assign assessments so that a district has pre and post test information. And that's the last on TIA. Again, that was some real in theweed information in terms of assessments, but we really wanted the board
063to hear the potential compensation options for our teachers in core academic areas beginning in preK. So, and like Dr. Gomez said obviously the TIA funding is tied to uh so socioeconomic status of an elementary school or of a middle school. So it looks to help our our schools that are um at the lowest end of the socio economic help attract even better teachers and give those teachers that are master teachers, exemplary teachers the ability to uh get rewarded for their work they're doing on those campuses. Uh, and I think that's important to realize that we're doing as a district, we're trying to do everything we can to figure out how to make our teacher salaries as competitive as possible and give those teachers an opportunity to um get rewarded for being masters at their trade.
064Any other board comments or questions for Dr. Gomez? Well, yeah. Just and really my comments on your last presentation on the uh on the academic programs for the summer. We got a lot of stuff going on and that's exciting and that's good that we're providing a lot of things that most places can't provide and that's that's a good thing. And what we're I was going to ask Dr. Moran and maybe I don't know it's it's a good question to ask you right now but it's just um with what just passed you know the voucher program that just got passed. Okay. Will any of that affect this funding that we get for these summer programs and all that that we get? Well, there's an argument to be made that the billion dollars that's being used for
065vouchers could have gone to public schools. uh and that's why there was such a push against that from from rural uh Texas. So, you know, the the argument could be made from both sides, but that's the argument against the vouchers is that money could have been used and the projection is in the next bianium it could it could cost the state up to seven billion and that that's perpetual. So, um I think that you know the reality is there is a financial impact. Um and it just depends on how you want to split that uh and thread that needle. But that's my perspective. Well, like I said, that's all that stuff you were talking about, your summer programs from from kindergarten all the way to high school. That's there's a lot of things, a lot
066of resources these kids can use and and they can go take advantage of them. So, that's a good thing. And um thank you again, Farah. All right, next we're going to move on to an update on TEA accountability rating. So last week in the pre-aggenda, we provided some information and for several weeks now since the litigation ruling, we've been providing information. Um, I want to give credit where credit is due. So a few of these slides come straight from John Fessidin. If we've shared information from Mr. Fessidin in past presentations. Um, but to recap, Mr. Fessidin is an educational consultant that works with school districts, region service centers, and even the education agency itself on data analysis and specific to accountability. So, in our field, he's one of the leading contributors around understanding state and
067federal accountability. So this uh humorous slide is his creative genius on some of those images there. Again, that is not mine. So please note all credit there goes to m Mr. Fessin. It's important the recap on this is uh specific to A throughF ratings because the update is not about any data. The update is simply tied to the A throughF ratings from the state. So the overview here is understanding the A throughF ratings history. This began in 2017 through 2018 and with that first year districts only received ratings. So the individual campuses within those districts did not. Then in 2018 2019 you had both districts and campuses receive an A throughF rating. Then unfortunately we went through a very difficult time. Um and you had two years under COVID where no ratings were issued at
068all from the agency. In 2122 there were ratings of ABC or not rated because we were coming out of a period where a lot of students and families had gone through non-traditional educational experiences. Then that leads us to 2223 which are the ratings that are about to come out. Also important, I know you all are well aware, these ratings that are about to come out, the letter grades are coming out this week on Thursday during the time where every school district in the state of test of Texas is testing for the 2025 school year. So, there's been a lot of time lapsed. Um and so the reason why it's saying a refresh is there was a legislation over the ratings because in conjunction here you have this timeline but you had a change in the
069assessment itself. You all heard us give updates from yes it's called the star test but when they changed when the agency changed the test you heard it referred to as star 2.0. So, it's important to go through that history and knowing that since the 2223 school year, we have not had official ratings released. And this was the year where there were changes to cut points and methodologies as well. The 2324 ratings are still blocked. So, districts don't have those letter ratings. And again, here we are 2025 and we're currently testing. There are two key aspects under A throughF accountability from the calculation component and the scaling or the grading. So the reason why it's important that we're all reminded of this again is sometimes there are comparisons made to the last data subsets or the
070last letter grades released. But you have to understand the key aspects of the accountability system because you cannot always compare one year to the next and have what's in simplistic terms and apples to apples comparison. So you have both the calculation and the scaling that are used to determine a district and campuses A throughF letter grades. There are multiple measures and indicators. This gets way in the weeds here. I'm not going to um spend too much time on each one of these other than reviewing because sometimes people think it's just students achievement. There are multiple of factors achievement, academic growth and then post-secary readiness. So in 2223 in the area of star performance just how a student did there were no changes in the calculation. Again, this next line I want to give John Vessedin
071credit here because he used a little bit of humor and even the type of font and the size of font he used in the next area which is CCMR, college career military readiness. This is super important. So there were changes in the area of CCMR. These changes, that's why it says humongous there, led to many of the districts that engaged in the litigation with te the Texas Education Agency for secondary campuses and for district ratings. Those changes had potential large impacts on districts and those that engaged in the litigation said there was not a sufficient time given to districts and campuses to know those changes before the agency put them in place. Graduation rate um there were some changes in the grading but they weren't significant. They were just an increase on rigor. Now academic
072growth Dr. Dr. Kingman, a few minutes ago you mentioned our low soioeconomic campuses. This area for academic growth was a major part of the the changes in methodologies moving to that 23 24 school year. So campuses of high low socioeconomic status oftentimes don't meet the state's mark on the achievement portion of star performance alone because there are additional supports needed for students coming from poverty. But every educator can stand behind regardless of the needs a student enters in our school buildings. We should be growing students. So that component of academic growth is of major importance to your high or low soioeconomic campuses. Um and so just want to point out that was a completely new calculation again leading to um many of the district's dismay and use or reasoning for going engaging in litigation. Then
073relative performance very minor there um minor changes. And then lastly, domain three. This was in a major area. This is as we move forward, I'm going to show you um some more specific areas under domain three. So this next graphic is just a reminder for the board and for the public to understand. You can't simply look at 2022 to 2023 and think it's a light comparison. They are two different systems. If you do that, you would be comparing apples to oranges. So, it's not an equal comparison. So, what's new with the overruling of the litigation? What are what did districts receive last Thursday and what will be posted publicly for all stakeholders this Thursday is um the only change is the release of ratings themselves, the letter grades. So districts received in November of 23
074the data and have been using that data to make academic adjustments according to campus and district need. But they did not have official A throughF grades. That's what will come out this Thursday. It's not new, but it's just a recap that that's from the 22 23 school year. The 23 24 school year is still under litigation. 24 25 ratings are currently scheduled to be released this fall. Now previous slide I said domain 3 and I said domain 3 will be important. Okay. And so what I want to point out there is the emphasis on CCMR and its impact especially to high school campuses in the district rating in domain three. So you have all of this happening with a change in the methodologies and the cut points and then St. Angel had um a very
075unusual the only time this has happened in the district's history to any of our knowledge a data submission error that's specifically impacted a a reporting in domain three for CCMR for Lake View High School. So the district since we had the data made immediate action steps to put additional um measures in place and also had reached out to the agency on what are next steps. You could a district our campus could not move forward with next steps which through this process is called an appeal process until letter grades were released. So even though we're talking about 2223 data, we could not appeal the data until it comes out officially, which for schools that was last Thursday when it was released until so the district does plan to participate in the appeal process for both the
076late view rating and the district rating. That data submission uh error, it's a system error. uh it does plan to impact our campus rating of a full letter and the district rating of a full letter. So that's just general information. Um I can answer further specifics or take questions now in in that appeal. I mean, are we going to provide I mean, we have the actual numbers then, right? Mhm. That were missed on that on that data entry and so that'll be used and we appeal it so they can come out with they can it'll improve that once we provide that. It should not necessarily Mr. D. So um the agent can still Mhm. I what's most important for everyone to be informed of more than the letter grade is uh the data itself and
077the academic implications because when you receive state assessment data at the end of the year that's rearview mirror data right those students are gone to the next grade all of that has passed but you use that data to make informed decisions on your systems and processes. So what this did was during a time where there was a change in the methodology we had a very unusual situation which also further impacted it. However, immediate action steps were taken to the systems and processes not waiting for the agency to put out letter grades. And which which report was that going to? I'm sorry that data. Which report was that going to? So there is an electronic submission. Mhm. Somewhere in the electronic submission in June of that year, the data was dropped. Submitting to what? To PS
078or to Okay. Yes, sir. And then they use the PES report to come up with their taper report. Is that correct? To come up with your overall ratings. Yeah. Okay. All right. Other further board comments or questions? So only we know that in our 20 I'm going screw up the years. So this was 22 23. So we know in our 23 24 because we got our data in November from our 2023 24 that the system error had been corrected as far as being able to submit all data appropriately for the following year. I provide some further specification there. So, it's for the 2223 school year. In the June data submission, there was some data dropped. In October of 23, the district was able to identify that there was missing data. But in November of 24
079or excuse me, of 23 was when we got officially from till the data subsets. Okay. So that's where it gets a little blurry because you had the official release until but then additionally Dr. King which was I think what you might be asking that was for the 2223 school year for 2324 we don't have the official release on letter grades but we do have our data subsets released until and we already know from that data ratings would be very different that there was an unusual circumstance in that data submission. So although we were not part of the litigation that prevented our letter grade from coming and although we don't can't get we couldn't appeal till we till these letter grades are released on the 24th. We know that our the system error that was a
080part of the 22 23 situation is not going to be replicated because we already have our data our core data. Even though we don't have a letter grade for our 23 24 data, we know that those errors have not been replicated. That is correct. We also have initial planning data for the 2425 with those systems that were put into place immediately with the discovery in October of 23 to show that the district is tracking substantially higher. Any other do we have any idea when the 23 24 data will be released? That's still under litigation. I'll comment on that. We'll see if I get it right. But uh the 20 So I anticipate 2025 ratings will come out in September, which logically means that there should be a release of 24 data between now and and
081September. But that's logic and you never know. So, so as Dr. Brian said, that's logic. So, under litigation was the same appeal that the 15th Circuit overturned. So, I think logically we would have information, but all we can say is it's under litigation, but um the 2425 data is scheduled to be released in the fall. So are they planning to litigate the 2425 missing because they did already for all these other I would anticipate it would be yeah the most important thing litigation or not is the information that the data gives us on um what changes may be needed to systems and processes to best serve students. So the only addition is a letter grade. None of us are saying we don't have continued work and efforts that need to take place. What we are
082saying is there have been multiple changes to support students specifically in the area of academic growth. So regardless of economic status or what school they attend, students have the highest learning opportunities we can provide. I think what you said, Dr. is real important because you know it's our campus's job to support our students and then it's administration's job to support our campuses and it's our board's job to support our administration and when that's not happening that that's a failure up down the board and it's important to recognize that we've made a mistake and not having that data submitted correctly uh but that the systems are in place to make sure that that can't and won't happen again. So, um that's my take. Any other questions or comments regarding the TEA accountability rating that we will
083get on Thursday? Thursday. It'll be made public on Thursday. Yes. All right. Next is me, Dr. Gomez. You get to sit down. So, we have the annual required hours of continuing education for the school board members. And I have to say this publicly. So Mr. Royo is at 9.25 hours. Mr. Dindle 12.25. Mrs. Duncan 12.25. Mr. Gagos uh 15.25. I'm at 11.5. Mrs. Miso Flint is at 26.0 and Dr. Mills is at 13.25. Um we are required to get uh five additional CMEs a year. Um and then two hours of uh safety training um which were completed by all returning board members um or yes and everyone has met their number of hours. Any questions regarding that? All right. Next um we have consent items A through D. Um item A is donations, B is
084our minutes from our March 10th and March 24th meetings. Uh C is bid 20-014 which is was a one ad on our curriculum instruction materials. And D was superintendent's recommendations for the 2526 teacher and other professional contracts which was given to us um as a separate document last week. Any board comments or questions on consent items A through D? Do I have a motion to approve consent items A through D? Make a motion to approve consent items A through D. Motion from Mr. Ggo. Do I have a second? Second. And a second from Mrs. Aoyo. Any further board questions or comments? All in favor say I. I. All say the same. Motion passes 70. All right. Next, we have action items. We have our bills, accounts, and financial statements um for March 2025. Any questions
085or comments? We went through this obviously at our pre-aggenda um workshop. Any questions or comments regarding our bills, accounts, and financial statements? Dr. Dr. came in just a note to the public that all these reports were reviewed at our pre-agenda meeting last uh last Monday I believe and uh all these reports can be found online in their entirety. you go to SASD website, there's a bold tab called the district tab and there's a uh click on the district tab and under that there's a tab called financial transparency where you can find all the reports. And with that, I'd uh move that we uh approve the bills, accounts, and financial statements for the month of March 2025 as attached. Second. Have a motion for Mr. Dindle and a second from Mr. Gyos. Any other board comments
086or questions? All in favor say I. I. All against say the same. Motion passes 70. Next is considering uh presiding judges and alternates for the uh election on May 3rd. And Dr. Brandon's going to help us with that. Dr. Brand, Dr. Kingman, board of trustees. Uh you have the list of election judges and alternates uh in front of you. Each year the county elections administrator uh selects those individuals and provides the training. The school board does have an opportunity to review the list of judges. Um administration would make a recommendation to approve the list of judges and alternates as presented. Any further board questions or comments regarding the approval of the presiding judges and alternates for the election on May 3rd, 2025? I have a motion to approve. I'll make a motion to approve the
087presiding judges and alternates as presented by the Tom Crane County Elections Administration. So, a motion from Dr. Mills. Do I have a second? I'll second. Second from Mr. Dendle. Any further board comments or questions? All right. All in favor say I. I. All say the same. Motion passes 70. All right, Mr. Henry. Lake View Chiller replacement RFQ2-004. Thank you for having me here tonight. During the 2324 school year, the maintenance department encountered increasing issues with the chiller system at Lake View High School. This critical chiller provides cooling for a significant portion of the building of the main building including administrative offices, the dining hall, and over 40 classrooms. With the maintenance department successfully maintaining its operation throughout the school year, the system experienced irreparable freon links in July, necessitating a full replacement. Park Hill architects
088and engineers were engaged and assessed the situation and developed comprehensive plans for the chiller replacement. A request for qualifications was issued to identify qualified companies capable of executing this complex project. The district received seven total bids from five different companies. Following a thorough evaluation process based on predefined scoring criteria, Accurate Air Solutions of Abalene demonstrated the highest overall score and presented the most economically advant advantageous proposal with the lowest price. The administration recommends that St. Angelo Independent School District Board of Trustees approves the award of the Lake View Chiller replacement contract to Accurate Air Solutions of Abalene for a total contract price of $430,149.38. This amount includes a contingency of 50,000 to address any unforeseen issues that may arise during the project. Do y'all have any questions over this? M Cheney, I saw we got
089two bids. both are reputable and dealt with the district before. Yes, we Acura Air the last big project that they did for us was the replacement of all the HBAC units on Lincoln Middle School and they were the subcontractor under Schneider and they did an excellent job.
