001For domain two, our goal is going to be to increase student relative performance growth to 90%. Because we're already at and we're five points away from getting the A. So, we're gonna we we sent the code and we said we need at least 90%. Uh, so that's for domain uh two. For domain three, closing the gaps. We also said we want at least 90% of all students uh to show progress in closing the academic gap, ensuring equitable support for special populations. Uh and so our goal is to maintain at least the B rating and if possible, we're only five points away from the A. So, we're going to we're going to we're working really hard and and something that has helped a lot is when it comes to, you know, attracting and and just retaining
002teachers. I just want to emphasize that at DTMS, we only lost one teacher last year. So, our retention is good, which helps a lot because we have systems in place. A lot of the the the systems that we have are working. So we don't want to change what is working. We just need to refine the areas where we see like for example social studies an area of need that we we need to improve. Uh but most of our teachers stayed and uh we also like Mr. Coronado mentioned we do have five teachers that were designated by TIA. So that's uh that's a plus because we do have those teachers that can go and support the new teachers or or teachers that just need support in instruction or in the delivery of instruction in analyzing data.
003So we have those five teachers that can really support the rest. When it comes to technology, uh I know Moronado mentioned about the goals that we have as a district and we're closely aligned to the district and I just want to inform you that we did purchase 150 Chromebooks and 150 headphones for this year to use in the classroom for the parent involvement and community. Uh we we feel that it is very important to get the parents involved. So at DTMS, last year we had a literacy night, a math night, a science night, and a social studies night. So this year, because the area of need is social studies, we're going to start in October. We're going to have a social studies night where we're going to involve it's a family night where we do
004like a make and take session for the parents and we share information with the parents about the star test the accountability system but at the same time how they can support their their children at home uh in this case with social studies. Um some of the the the initiatives that we have like I mentioned two of the areas that that I feel can get us the A is uh one is student uh relative performance or is student progress. So something that we've done year after year, we we track data very closely, but this year we're going to take it to the next level and and especially in the social studies and uh we're working very closely with the social studies teachers in reviewing weekly assessment, six weeks data and then we're going to be reviewing
005benchmark data so that we can uh work as a community and support the teachers and also the students because social studies has 96 takes and the students when they take the assessment there's only one one uh one uh student expectation they're tested with. So 96 out of the 96 ts uh they don't it's not like in reading where you might have three or four questions that address the same student expectation. In social studies is one. So either you know it or you don't. So that what that's what makes it really hard in social studies. So we're really going to be working with the teachers and then the other one like I mentioned student progress. So we're tracking the data very closely. And what we do is we have the students keep their own trackers in
006their journals so that they can see how they're doing and then they share that information with their parents. teachers will send the trackers home and parents can sign so they can see is the student really showing progress or they're just staying at the same level. And so when we have family lines, we also share data with the parents because we feel it's important for them to know. And uh so we do haveformational meetings where we share data. Uh something that we do also that we're going to be doing is or that we started doing already is uh for any especially for student progress any student that did not pass the STAR test we put them in an intervention class so that we can provide that additional support. So aside from their reading class they're going
007to have that extra support in reading or math. Uh we also have the new we we're utilizing Aspire dashboard and that's another program that we're using this year that we have before and that one is just to track data. And what I really like about that report or that program is that it can tell you right away if this if the teacher is uh has an A, a B, a C or a D. like it will tell you where the teacher stands and so that helps a lot for accountability and just to make sure that the students are getting the instruction that they that they need. Uh the other one that we're going to start for social studies because that is there we're going to start with uh social studies uh camps for students just
008to retach concepts that they did not master. That's a strategy that we used last year for Telpus. Uh we we had some uh somemies during the day. We regroup the students and and the students that needed help to help us. We had thosemies for the students with Dr. Drevinho. She came in and she did somemies and we got the results. We got the maximum points in the tapas. So we want to utilize the same strategy that we used last year for tapas. We want to use it in social studies where we're going to have student c camps so that we can just have the students practice and and just to review any concepts that they do not understand. So those are some of the the initiatives that we have. We don't have a lot because
009there's a lot that it's already working and I feel there's no need to change what is working. We just need to refine the areas where we still need to show progress. Do you have any questions? I just want to say on your campus >> I did look at the whole thing and I did see I didn't see it at the high school or nor I don't know I saw I could see it at the elementary we had a teaching fair yes that's awesome for JC kids because they need to start learning how to communicate and how to present I don't know that a high school maybe in the future I don't know if it can be a line or something we can look at for the GT kids because I know at a lower level,
010they're not challenged, you know, um we can use them as they go, you know. Um but I think that was awesome. And also another thing and just continue to um I did see on the attendance um how does that go? Let me ask. >> Okay, so for attendance right now, we're at 95%. And I told the teachers that are, you know, we talked about the attendance and everything because we looked at the at the distinction designation summary report from TEA and I and we're compared with 40 campuses. So I told the teachers in order to do better, we need to be at least at 95 like we can get more distinctions uh but and attendance helps to get the distinctions as well. So, uh, we need to get at least 95% and that's going to
011help us a lot. So, uh, I told the teachers that's going to be our number 95. So, for the first six weeks, we had 95%. It was 95.3. Uh, so we want to maintain it like that. We do incentives for attendance. We do attendance challenges for the, you know, for for attendance. uh but you know that's something that we're really focusing on. We monitor the we have trackers for everything for data for attendance so that we know >> measuring so how's the measuring how is that >> so for example if you have a student that really needs the support because you know it could be that the the student is struggling emotionally or with discipline or he doesn't have the support that he needs. uh then we assign mentors to help those students uh to
012see okay to identify the names of that student and provide that support >> the teachers the teachers will be the matchers yes >> but they're not from the they're from the same class or they're from >> the the teachers would it doesn't have to be like the teacher doesn't have to be the mentor for that student in that grade level it could be a mentor from another grade level like for example we have one Mr. in eighth grade has been a progress so for the longest time. So the students have a really good rapport with him. So it helps a lot like for him to be a mentor for those students that we have in seventh grade. So it doesn't have to be necessarily the teacher from that grade. It can be any teacher. >>
013Yeah, I was going to wait till the end, but um since I br up for the attendance for Mr. Ronaldo, do we have a district-wide attendance plan like to target the truency and the chronic absentism? I mean, I work with attendance. I know it works. So, the kid is not here. I mean, they're not going to learn and they're going to be the the goals and the results we're looking at. >> So, do we have a plan like district? >> Yes, definitely. We've been talking about attendances since the summer. One initiative that we want to bring to the district if you guys allow us to to buy a car for the high school uh students and raffle it at the end of the year. Uh that's something that we we'll talk about have to get
014certain uh protocols in place. But yes, the the the rewarding part uh to the students, to the parent is very important this year for attendance TCMS is at 95. They're always competing with elementary. In fact, this past week I talked to Miss Sunni and I said Sunni just be fair this year I'm not going to count prek as part of your percentage because usually prek isn't one that and then kinder first and second feel like oh my god we're never going to get it. So, uh, we're going to do that with them. And then high school, we we're pushing. I'm happy to say that right now the high school level we're more than 92% in attendance. So, we're pushing out the car if we I think some districts are doing it. need to talk to
015you obviously the liability but if that's something that board would say yes to >> you say >> there's also I think I'm just you conference like I visit visit some vendors softwares that can help with like a third party software and they do the calling they do the data and the lady they put up our professor data like their online applications but I I'll I won't mention the September. >> Can we um educate the parents since September is like the attendance awareness month like let them know the importance of the ADA? I know a lot of the times like yes, but to educate them what the money is going to be for resources. It's going to benefit your kids more programs more, you know, stuff that we can purchase. So just kind of like let
016the parents know how the ad ADA works >> and and uh some of the policy changed this year. In fact, if a student is absent, they go to the uh doctor, they bring the doctor for the excuse that day. >> So, yeah, just like the importance of bringing the excuses, pushing all things, but do we also have like um consequences for the truency? >> Yes, we do. uh and in fact uh when when I met with with the elementary principles, they wanted to count the parties as well as part of uh the absences because we're having problems with some parents uh bringing the student uh late. Uh so so we are excluding that if if they're partying three times and they they they don't get the word that's at the end of the system. >>
017It's something that we do they do get parents get the warning letter. So we do first warning letter, second warning letter, third warning letter. We have parent conferences, we do home visits. Uh so we, you know, we do anything we can to bring the students to school. That's something that we're consistent with. I will say that thank you and it seems working and the high school uh but I think besides Thanksgiving kids I think a mentoring program is really effective and if we do it across the district that would be awesome because um when you mentor a kid and and and you can give them gifts but I think when they feel like they there's someone that that wants them there or that it's not just the teacher but is happy that they're there. Um
018they're going to motivate themselves. So I mean that's something >> let me share this with you as uh there was something that I didn't I didn't think about it when we made the determination to uh bring the new turf to the district once we we finished it and now that we're analyzing numbers of people that come to watch our games uh it it brings the pride back to our community and students want to participate and be part of of of the sport. So, we're seeing that. In fact, I met with the athletic director last week because we're going to make certain changes hopefully next year basing the uh scheduling around sports because we're seeing that student want to be here. Students don't want to fight. Students don't want to get in trouble because if they
019do, then they're not going to play. Guess what? They're not going to be part of the experience there in the new stadium. So, uh that is something that I'm seeing and and thanks to your your support and we're seeing a lot of members showing up to the games. And I just want to share really quick that something that we do at DTMS uh whenever the the athletes uh win a game uh they have uh VIP seating during lunch. So we decorate the tables for them really nice and if we don't do it they remind us right away but we got to have VIP seating today. And so that's something just to like Mr. Coronado mentioned, you know, we want them to take pride in everything that they do and we want to recognize their work.
020So, I want to thank all of you for your support and and I think we're doing pretty good. We're doing good at at ETMS and we just want to do better. So, thank you so much. >> Thank you, Miss Marina. Uh, now that you mentioned Mr. on the GT is we added it here. It's part of 1.6 where and it's on the district improvement plan. So district wide we're going to have the uh GT fairs. >> And then I checked the elementary. So on his if you look at it he left the template the way it is but his changes are highlighted by uh strategy. If you look at it say 24 25. So he highlighted his changes. Uh so like 1.7 1.8 the ones that talk about CCMR in high school. uh he used
021it as part of the uh district improvement plan template but his changes are highlighted uh there >> and high school because they have the >> good evening board president uh committee members um I'm going to start off with the accountability uh this past year we received a B for the campus uh we had a score of 87 uh before that We had a score of 82. So we went up five points. Uh overall under student achievement we received the same we had received 75 points. Uh the prior year we had 71 points. Uh under school progress we went from an 80 to an 85. We're being improved there. And then for closing the gaps we went from an 87 to a 90 points. And that's where we received a distinction on those new galaxies last
022year. But going from there, I'm going to go ahead and talk about our improvements uh regarding our different domains. Sorry. Um, for domain one, our goal is to have at least 84% of our students performing at our coaches level, 55% at meets, and 22% at the masters on STAR. Um, as of today, uh, regarding last year's scores, we had a 78% approaches, 49% mates, 17% masters, and as of now, we're committed to closing these gaps through intentional instruction and targeted intervention through RTI. and 7 has been earning periods. Under domain 2, we are aiming for 80% growth year-over-year and student relative performance. This means every child, no matter their starting point, is making meaningful progress. So child that is not doing too well, they're going to show we're going to try to help them and
023grow them. And students that are already at the top, we're going to sustain and help them grow also. Under domain three, uh we will close achievement gaps by carefully monitoring the performance of all student groups in reading, math, star group and to help us progress. Our focus not only on passing rates but also ensuring that English learners and at risk students receive the support they need to exceed. Uh my overall goal is of course uh sustaining the game or even trying and shooting for that a uh but more importantly we are striving for a culture where achievement is expected and celebrated there in the campus. And then going back to our district goals attract develop and retain and foster high quality uh qualified educators. Uh this past year we did lose one teacher um as
024due to personal reasons but as of now we are retaining 95% of our staff members and most of our staff have they've been there for many years and we have about seven teachers that are TIA designated which helps with that retention under technology. Uh as of now um we're going to prepare students for college careers and beyond. Uh we must ensure that they're learning within with 21st century tools and as of now we are a onetoone device for our students here on campus. Uh we do have interactive smartboards in each classroom and I'm hope I'm hoping at least 90% of the teachers are going to improve their technology skills. That's my goal. And just to leave off on the technology, uh technology is not just an equipment. It's how we empower both teachers and students
025to engage with learning and innovative ways. Uh going back to our district uh planning uh promote parental and community engagement. Uh families and community members are vital partners in our student success and our school achievement. Our goal is to try to increase parent and community engagement by 15%. Uh just like Miss Molina said that during six weeks or progress reports we're going to invite them. We're going to have different workshops for them regarding math, reading, science. Um especially in science because I know that's one of the levels that's tested and it's it's new to fifth grade and that vocabulary is pretty difficult seeing that that information. But we're working with the parents and our teachers. Another achievement or another goal is facilities save and positive learning. Uh our students, our teachers, our staff are trained
026under the safe supportive protocols. Um I met with our police department, fire department. I also gave them the our standards as a district. So whenever we do have an emergency, they already know the language that we have as a district. Then um regarding closing that part uh together with the support of our teachers, families and district, we will continue building a school culture where every student is prepared, every teacher supported and every child practice. As Mr. said, I did include a couple strategies on our campus improvement plan that were highlighted. uh strategy 24 uh we ensure a wellorganized fully functional library that supports access to reading critiques at all times. So our library it's our literacy hub it's on our campus we ensure students have access to books visual resources and research materials aligned to
027our reading teams. Uh the library will be maintained as a welcoming engagement space that fosters a reading research and based learning. Uh strategy 25 uh purchase classroom and campus supplies and materials uh to support effective teaching and create a conducive learning environment that promotes student growth. So teachers will be provided with the instructional materials and supplies needed to deliver high quality lessons aligned to the teach. So all of our materials are qualified instructional purposes uh from reading to math to science. Uh this past year we got our new science group that includes new science kits, supplies, materials. Uh so all teachers and all all students have that interaction for the hands-on learning uh for science. Strategy 26 uh continue implementing campus incentive programs, activities and field trips to promote and support student achievement across all
028subjects. Um I know Mr. I said regarding charties. Um that's one of my main focus because I know we have students coming in around 8 8:00 which is already 30 minutes past uh instructional purposes. Uh regarding charities it's um in sense it very we uh on Fridays I'll providing nice popcorn uh some movie time at the end of the day on Fridays. Uh but those students that do get those three tardies during that week will not celebrate. Another thing is I am calling parents and meeting with them, bringing them in and uh sitting down with them showing them the student progress like this is your where your students at because of the attendance. I want that to uh go ahead and increase. We just have a just a commitment in your contract in place. Sorry,
029going back to the incentives, we do have reading challenges which is our AR. uh we have gonna start our math competitions rewarding students based on their a learning which used to be our ice station. So those students that are showing good improvement on a mirror learning math and reading will get a we'll get u I'm going to try to publish them on Facebook and get another certificate regarding their achievement on that program. Uh strategy 27 um providing equipment materials for trans supplies to ensure that the implementation of safety protocols and proper procedures for all students who serve. Uh making sure our nurse is equipped with the materials that she needs to properly ensure the safety of all students. Um going back to a need um monthly monitors, making sure we have plans. Uh the first
030aid, not the first aid, uh the lead, sorry, the kits, the stop the be kit, sorry. Making sure those are in the hallways. Um our coach, our heat coach has one, I have one in their office, the nurse has one. So making sure we reinforce the safety of the students just in case if anything does happen regarding uh our situation of our safety. Strategy 28. Uh we want to participate in esports and STEM events at re within region one. Uh these events uh help students develop critical thinking teamwork and strategic planning skills. I know last year we attended the GT um the GT a region one fair and now it's very exciting for our students. Uh it was only not only for GT we opened it up for um students that were interest regarding STEM.
031So we had teachers advocally asked teachers to bring those students in and we sent them to region one. Esports is a different initiative. Uh they do have competition regarding gaming. Uh that is usually on Saturdays and a couple months away regarding our first competition. So I'm trying hopefully we establish a team this school year and together these strategies uh 2014 through 28 strengthen our academic achievement support teacher effective effectiveness motivated students enhance safety and broadening opportunities through enrichment ensuring that progression means a campus of growth innovation and success. going to our our act my action time. Uh there are three target areas uh I want to focus on. One target area is our Spanish reading. They did improve from 45% to 53% but we want to continue uh to support the teachers within within our
032third grade Spanish reading uh through targeted instruction data driven interventions uh progress monitoring as many student u what affects us there is the ECR the extended response uh question where the students are to write and form at a specific level and that information is graded by computer or a person. So we are going to another initiative is for to help develop our writing system in place throughout the campus and follow that strategy uh not only in reading but also in math and science. Another target area is uh by May 2026 our campus will increase the percentage of students demonstrating academic growth in domain 2 part a um that is our math and reading. Um if you look at the data third grade did increase from 71 to 80% this past year. Fourth grade went up
033two uh two points from 77 to 79. Our fifth grade did have a slight decline from 88 to 82, but those same students that came in were coming in at 77%. So did as a grade level it did increase from year from fourth grade to fifth grade. And then our another initiative that our area or target area is our fifth grade science. Um as of now all teachers in fifth grade teach science and actually this year we're actually giving them a double dose of science. So, we have our their main home room teacher teaches science, but they also go to another teacher for another uh an hour to get that support that we need for the vocabulary and hands-on experience. >> Is every student every student in fifth grade? Any questions on the board? Yes.
034>> Maybe something to educate parents about reveals that we're having at the high school. >> As of now, we're supporting our Thursday CC markets. So, we're offering them the we're gonna have a a vendor through&m. They're selling the shirts for our campus and and early childhood at at third price. We're not making any uh fundraising. This that's going to be also for CCMR. It's going to go back to our reading our third grade and our math skills in third through fifth. uh because it's one of those indicators or predictors for CCMR success. Um if we're able to help with math skills, uh faculty problem solving um it's going to bring in their academic vocabulary and body literacy which supports our CCMR indicators SAT, ACT, TSI. Another one is we have career days. So we bring
035in guest teachers uh but different fields of study and they help um they introduce our students but we don't have their elementary uh from robotics to attorneys to engineers uh to uh scientists animal health. We bring these people in and they provide that experience for us >> uh in the second semester. Yes, ma'am. >> Another thing for um on both five under the facilities and the safe environment, Mr. Bon, I guess for us, will this include working on closing the pavilion to turn it into a gym. So like all campuses are now equal since like you know due to implement weather then those kids at elementary don't get the physical activity. >> Yeah. Actually when we started the the different phases of that specific canopy the plan was going to be different phases and eventually
036we want to close it. Obviously it if the board uh gives us a permission to assign specific a specific amount of money for that investment we'll move forward but yes the plan is to enclose it and have a gym because elementary is the only capital. >> Thank you. Congratulations. >> And now we have Miss from Early Childhood. >> Good evening. Good evening members of the board. Mr. President, um this year we've set the goals and initiatives that are aligned to our vision but as well as strategic planning just like the rest of the of the campuses. So our I know um question on the on the accountability for us is just readiness making sure that the kiddo that the students are ready with uh early reading skills and math skills. So our goal however to
037get um our feeding school which is the elementary our goal for sustaining growth and achieving academic um academic achievement is that at least 70% of our second graders will demonstrate mastery on end of the year benchmark start math assessments and this is like I know Miss Garcia mentioned this like kind of like our meeting star that they take at beginning middle and end of the year and also in our reading inventory. stories because if they are able to read, they are able to master academically. Um in addition this year our goal is also I know last year and I know Miss Elementary um we have been striving to get our second graders to test online assessments. Um last year we started a little bit they do test online the weekly assessments but when it came
038to benchmark um we were doing the paper and pencil and we have been uh working aligning with elementary Miss Garcia and Mr. Algarado um and at the end of the year we we uh administer an online assessment. We did see our scores um slightly different because our kiddos it was a full benchmark assessment but this year our goal is to ensure that increase start early on with our online benchmarking so that way they will be ready for third grade. Um, in our lower grades, again, this is a reading mastery. At least, our goal is for at least 75% of our first grade students, demonstrating mastery in word reading. Um, this year, well, last year was a pilot. We went from Ter and Dehaslay. We now we piloted um MC class. Um, and our teachers were
039very um open. They were very uh willing to test both exams uh or inventories. So we were able to pilot it last year and this year is we're full-blown align from uh kinder through third grade with MC class. So on in our lower grade levels which is kinder and prek uh prek um does um commissioner approved assessments we have the circle and we have in kinder we begin our M class but at there we want at least 75% of our students to master phmimic awareness components like letter navy fluency and letter knowledge in their reading inventory. So that one is those goals are aligned specifically to um readiness uh skills and reading and math. Uh some of the strategies that we're going to be utilizing for uh of course the main one um when it
040comes to um achieving this would be attendance. That is one of the one of the areas that we have been um struggling with. Yes. Um our prek we have two tracks when it comes to attendance. Our kinder through second is one of the tracks and then our preks are is a different one because of the funding because prek's only funded half day and then the district funds the um the other half. But to achieve that we have implemented um the tracking a tracking system contacting the parents of students who have uh continuous one to two days attendance. Sorry about that. Um and then also since last year we had been discussing about the the six weeks incentives when it come to attendance for our little ones they couldn't see we would still be struggling with
041attendance at the end of the six weeks we would try to give them a reward and they didn't see that connection because it was so far ahead. So since last year we have been talking to the teachers and we have been discussing we have to go to something that is more like um short period of time. So the we uh SBDM uh when we met at the beginning of the year, they agreed um we're doing the weekly attendance. The students are really excited because they have something to look forward to at the end of the week. And it can be something simple. Um and the little ones will tell you, I've been here all week like last Friday that we gave them extra uh p extra uh play time at the gym um or the
042outside. It was playground, but it rained on us. So they were at the gym and they were like very excited. and they were like, I was here all week, so I get to go. Yes. So, that has worked well. Of course, our prek still. So, we were that 95 96 with kinder and second prek coming in at like 93% because they're the little ones. Um, so that that we we uh we've started that implementing and it has worked um well. um the meetings with the parents and just to address the attendance concern, share the the data, um collaborate with them on their attendance, just making sure that they understand like Miss uh Miss Aosta mentioned that they understand the importance. We are putting attendance in every um newsletter. That's also another thing that we implemented
043our newsletter for the month and we are targeting an attendance uh section making sure the parents understand that if they miss out they're missing out on learning. We're also this coming the one coming out on October. We are targeting that that early leave or the late arrival because they're it's the same uh families, but we want to make sure that they understand that even if the students come in late or get picked up early, they're missing on learning time. Um when it comes to the reading and the the action the action steps we are we do um we do an a tier model where students get uh based on the data they get put into grouping like tier 2 would be a small group tier three is more like a onetoone so we are working
044now that they have done their beginning of the year assessment so now the students are tiered and we also have support from our dyslexia group So those students jump in our RTI block is embedded in the schedule. So there is not there's always uh every day the the group is comes to the teacher and they work on those skills that the students are needing. Um we still want to continue providing teacher training for um on reading strategies and explicit instruction with a focus on decoding, side word reading and fluency. this past f uh Friday that we had the planning we had our dyslexia teacher train the newer teachers that were not able to get trained with the Sunday RTI program that we're using. So our dyslexia teacher brought in the new teachers and trained the
045new staff on the program so they can utilize them. We are um sending home um fluency chs uh but we started in send Kinder. So Kinder already has their fluency book. They're sending at home. They're having the parents sign that they're reading with their child um at home as well. And then of course we host uh in second grade in during the summer I believe we met with our fourth grade team which was Miss Cruz and we our teachers got trained in the race strategy which is a strategy that um that the the elementary uses for the start. So our second grade group is utilizing the race strategy as well to ensure that students are are getting ready for the incoming third grade. When it comes to the math, um, we are we are implementing
046even though the Renaissance is a math screener for the beginning of the year, we are we do want to implement a a math screener for the atrisisk students, the ones that are not meeting that level. Um, just to make sure that we do the progress monitoring. I think we always focus on reading because reading is like un like un as mine as universal but reading is the main if you can do do reading then you can you will do well but we do want to implement that um math screener for the atrisisk students and continue enhancing our tier one instruction when it comes to math we do utilize the Sharon well we do utilize Sharon wells in second grade and up but then in the lower grades we we use pearlize which is similar getting
047them ready for that. Uh Sharon Wells, >> the kinder first is pearlized math. Pearl like Pearl Pearlize and then it leads into Sharon Wells and then um the the tier 2 I think a lot of times uh the teachers do focus a lot in the reading RTI block but we're trying to change that to where if the child is struggling in your math we'll find another even though it's not alternating days you can do reading you can do math right now they are very focused in the reading to make sure that the students are moving forward with the reading component. That would those that would be the action for the academic and um achievement and student sustaining growth. Um and in aligning with the strategic plan and our goals, we are um for the attracting
048attracting and retaining highly qualified educators. This year was the first year that I did lose several teachers and it was because personal reasons, moving out of Texas, changing careers. So, it was very um challenging for me at the beginning of the year, but we have started the mentorship programs with the new staff. We started doing um we started doing the the we started doing the professional development. Most of them were here for the beginning of the year professional development. I had two that came in towards the end ready to start of the year. So, they had to get started. Um, but we did start instructional rounds with the teachers last last week and the previous week and then we meet with them. So, that's going to continue the instructional rounds with the new teachers to
049go and observe the the the other the veteran teachers for sake. Um and then this year also um our end of the year data and going back to the TIA we are looking uh because of the expansion that happened we were able originally it was only second grade the one that was part of the TIA second grade and start testing but this year we were able to include kinder first and it does look like based on data we still haven't and miss Cornell is still finalizing but based on data we might have two or three teachers that will beed eligible for um for TIA, but it's still not finalized and we still need to submit for validation. When it comes to technology, um all our classrooms from preK through second, they have a smart board.
050We were able to provide new with those 75 devices, we're able to provide new Chromebooks to our second graders. So, we took the the the the Chromebooks that they had right now technology Mr. Bina and Mr. Gavasos are resetting them so we can provide those to kinder. So we will have a onetoone from K through 2nd. Our preks have their iPads and we were also able to purchase some um headphones with the mic because that's going to help us with delas which we did really well last year because of themies that Miss Molina talked about with Dr. But also our students were going to the labs to practice. Well, now they it's a day to daily. They can do their their summit uh program. We are able to provide those for them. >> You got
051the kinder kiddos are going to be using >> Yes, we are. Right now we are resetting them. Mr. Mr. Bina started last week um because they were they only had uh center like a set like a set of five Chromebooks and a set of five iPads and each teacher had a set. Uh but since we have already the ones we removed from second we're going to be equip we're going to be sending into the classrooms per student and the teachers are going to label and they're going to they're going to have them in their class. the thing that we are working on and that's what SBDM was uh when we met with SBDM they are um we are looking into purchasing charging carts where like house where they can have them something small they're asking
052for something small but I'm still looking at pricing because everyone like the teachers are asking per class maybe the ultimate goal would iPads for kids as well. I feel like I don't see them using >> Well, we haven't um last year they only had a set of Chromebooks. So, they would put it as a a computer set, but they also had their iPads. They have a set of iPads, a set of Chromebooks, and then their smartboard. Uh but what they also uh SVDM also put in the plan is uh mouse like a wireless mouse because of the path on the Chromebook. So that's some something they're also looking at for purchasing um the the mouse. >> I'm thinking like >> yeah with the with the with the pen. Um, as far as as far as
053parental and community, I know we focus on again the newsletter we implemented this year, we do focus on highlighting equity, collaboration and commitment with the parents and our students. So throughout the year, we try to do a lot of inclusion uh events throughout the year. We uh the teachers are really good about saying yes whenever we bring something on board. They're always willing to do it. We are um we are uh in the upcoming upcoming months we're promoting our most of our events are more like family project events. So we are in the next upcoming month again we have a Kinder Off fashion show. It turned out really well last year. We had a lot of participation where the and it also promotes uh literacy and then of course our annual pumpkin book character report
054and then those are just a few that are coming up but it always has to be with a project that the kiddos do at home and then we showcase it on campus and that brings our brings in our parents during that time. We do uh we uh provide strategies for them how to help the kiddos at home. Um, so those are a few of our of our events. We also will continue partnering with the Special Olympics Unified Champions and that is more later through the year. We already started uh getting ready. We already had that first meeting, but later through the year, usually it happens in April when we do our autism event. We do bring we bring in the um Special Olympics unified. We do our mini Special Olympics in our gym. So that
055has uh we've had it for two years already and that's just um getting all the parents involved. So that is also just um teaching the parents and our students. Any questions on that Monday? Well, not on that on the on the CCMR. Are you doing like any stuff or >> We are We are starting the CCMR Thursdays. But when we brought it up to SBDM, that was one of the things that they want to encourage. They want to encourage the counselor to go in and do the meetings with the students to promote like a college, military and uh uh career and also they also want to we haven't done um our career fairs like we used to but that was another another thing that the SBDM included. They want to bring back career or if
056not like the way we used to it they also want to do like visitors in the classroom. I think there's another there's uh some districts do it where you invite you invite someone and they visit like a grade level and they talk about it. So that was one of the things that they mentioned. The other one was um promoting like uh the colleges along because we do have we would have it by grade level prek was like STC Ker was&M um Utrgv and Longhorn but now we're going with the college career and military readiness. So we're promoting that. Um, as far as the safety, that one is aligned to the district. We are um our little ones, it has taken us a little bit to do our uh drills as far as like the fire
057drills because we have the three-year-olds, but we already send out the letters to the parents, just letting them know what is the what is the language of the child will be talking when he goes home and says we had a hold or or a lockdown. So, we send out that letter and with our November newsletter, we send out that information to the parents. >> Do do you all have any questions real quick on attendance? Um, I know that you're you're struggling with your business. Uh, and I saw that you're you're already going to a lot of initiatives. Um, I don't know if you've ever tried um maybe having a class competition and winning a a trophy and have a peers. Whoever has the most attendees get wins the trophy recognizing in six weeks something like
058that because I think that the kids would probably like something like that. I'm just throwing it out there just to help your counter do another initiative to maybe >> traveling trophy >> with a grade level. >> Yes, that's a district. >> Yes, that's a good idea. And we do have some um trophies. I think when we had the the campus all the way to fifth grade, we would have a traveling trophy. Um, and that that would be something that we can implement. >> Want to add something early childhood. Last week it was raining and I noticed that early childhood is the campus that the most help. We're gonna start the process of uh getting different quotes and I'll bring it to you. It was I'll pass on so you can explain. >> Um so we
059have been work well we have been um working with Mr. Coronado on the roof. We have I think because it's I I don't know. I think I think it has become more consistent where where there's leaks in the main hall, not in the classrooms, which is good, which is great because it doesn't affect instruction, but it does happen in the main hall. And last week it last week it was very um it's just it's kind of like boring. Um so we the custodians are awesome. like they'll as soon as they see it like they'll take off the tile so then they it drops so that way it's not it doesn't fall on anyone. Um but we have been working and he is he he he he has been u talking to Mr. uh about that
060because that has become a concern I believe and I think that's one of the things that that Mr. Fernandez also mentioned last year when the new AC units or units were placed, it left it left um it left an open hose or an open space. So that because before it didn't we didn't have that issue and it just has become more uh consistent. So yeah, but we're we're working on that. It was built 204 205. Yes, the 2005. >> Which warranty check? typically a year. >> Yes. >> And the the teachers are really um they're really good support like they they they understand again it's not affecting classroom instruction. None of that is happening in the classrooms, but it's just Yes. >> wanted to let you know so that way uh Thank you very much.
061Thank you. >> So that's all we have. We need to guess we have to we need a motion. >> Make a motion to approve the tax plan by Mr. by name consideration possible action to adopt the resolution Dr. to join Cy Mr. President, members of the board, during our last meeting, we tangled the item that had to do with Valley Energy. Uh, one of the reason was because we needed to have this resolution first. They're part of a co-op which is Mo Casey. We've been working with Mo Casey for the past 15 years, but when it comes to the budget, so they have a co-op where they have different services and we have the visit of the vice president. Can you come over and talk to us? >> Thank you very much. Thank you. >>
062You Mr. President, members of board, thank you. this consideration that you join our co-op right to provide these services have planning we have academics after the past five years of OKC has grown services uh one of the biggest ones that I charge into thank you >> thank you recommendation would be to pass it there's no cost to it obviously if we get their services for training or or uh staff development then I'll bring it to you so you can see but to be part of the call at no cost two >> and this is the item that was table last time because we a part of the co-op and we do have a representative of Valiant Energy and as uh you remember two months ago they were here presenting and one of the programs that
063we like had to do with the affinity program uh for the residents of progress board president members of of the board thank you for having us again um as mentioned in our previous presentation Dr. will pass out package again some of the great stuff that we have that are are free to the district. One of the things that I know today we're talking about with the AC's we have a great program through AP called the cold saver program and this is a tuneup for your HVAC units up to 25 tons. Um, we have a lot a little bit more funds now. I think we're almost we're in the last quarter. I think we do about 250 units right now. That's free of charge. That'll be roughly about $150,000 uh program for you guys. That's free
064of charge. We we say here's the funds. We can have you go out there and check the early childhood like it's it's already over a year old. That's one of the cavity a year old. They can do a tuneup. So they what they'll do essentially they'll clean the coil, change the filters, check for anything else and they'll come back and make the recommendations in case your your um the the contractor did it not under warranty. That's something we come back and and look for you guys as well. And like I said that's free of charge. The infinity program as superintendent mentioned that's the the lowest possible rate for the faculty and staff. And if you guys want to expand it to the citizens of ISD, I think it was coming back a little bit over
065seven a little bit over seven cents recently with some of the other members of La Hoya Sanito. I know they've had a lot of people joining it. And then u we have Mr. Castile right here sitting. He's a superintendent for a um he's on our staff too. We do a lot of work we do. We look for any outages. We look for any street lights that are out. We look for stuff that uh good building error and we come back and we get those funds for free. That's free of charge as well. And the only thing we'd ask for us is after your current contract expires, we're going to work hand in hand with superintendent Coronado and and approve a contract after this expire. >> Just for the record, our contract will expire until 2030.
066We still have >> any questions, concerns? >> So really the the benefit of you guys joining right now is for the community, >> right? around the beach, >> right? And like I said, and doing the the cool saver program with the Hbacks and also we have we also have a funding wing as well that's able to go ahead and help you guys with the roof max and all that great stuff. You come in bring on your do assessment that's tied into your electricity, right? So even though you have a gap, we would start building right now and then once you kick it with us, it' be a line item on electricity, but the funding would be available too there. Um it is there is administrative fee depending on the scope of the project. Sometimes it
067can be 3 4%. So see, but the the guarantee on this is that you don't have to go out and look for funds and bond. And if you do get a bond to pass this, we go there no prepaid penalty. You guys, it would be if you got get a bond that able to you start to kickstart the project, the bond comes in, you're going to pay it off and there's no there no charge for keeping and we can finance up to 96 months. I know the room for people anything infrastructure related questions. Yes. At this time I make a motion to approve divided services to work hand second motion by second on I guess >> we're going to start take a moment to thank you guys service also our platinum sponsor that go for
068the golf tournament thank you guys so much for your donation thank At this time we'll go to D3 high school turf payment application and track payment application board. >> We have uh Mr. Lasso here with us. By the way, I'm glad he's here because we need the check for >> Good evening everyone. What a pleasure to be here with you tonight. For the record, I'm George Lo with the program consulting services. And first of all, I want to start off and telling you that this was a pretty smooth u go and of course we were instrumental to look at auto payment estimates get out and of course when we had some changes direction to move forward but Mr. was critical in being there as our quarterback as we kept on going instruction and of course
069Mr. Hernandez and our coach uh coach Gonzalez but uh we are at the end of this project as you all know the project involved doing our track and putting in the turf. We worked with a great contractor, Hell's Construction, the project manager, Ty Valis. Uh he kept in contact with us almost every day as as long. We did have some uh temporary setback on the schedule because of unexpected rains despite being drought. But uh I'm glad to report tonight that the project is now complete. uh on your staff has gone through the necessary training please tell us uh we we did a walk through at the walkth through I was present Mr. Hernandez was present as well as the coach Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. out of this and uh the the project appeared to be
070in order and tonight I'm recommending that you all consider uh making that final payment to the contractor so we can go ahead and close it up by doing that. What does it do? It establishes that real important one-year construction warranty puts it in place uh in during the first year. Basically, anything that happens will be covered 100%. But there's also an extended 8-year warranty by manufacturer from from Ellis. So that if things happen, uh they all we have to do is of course uh get our superintendent or Mr. notify about the issue. They have a great history of cousins act and addressing those those concerns. But the most important thing is to continue with proper maintenance and of course your staff has been uh trained on that and the proper delivery was last when uh
071when when completion date on the contract >> the sub completion the way it's going to be set up is you all that's completion and commencement. of uh of the one-year warranty. >> Another question. >> So this is for both the family. >> Exactly. Both both are now complete. >> I'm okay with approving payment five on the turf and five and six retainage. I think we should do you guys need to structure always need and I'm sorry to say this is leverage >> and again you all are the policy you all are the policy makers and you know >> that's why I would pick your direction >> I mean at the end of the If with 30 days if nothing happens we can we can change large amount 180 for the world six00. Yeah, just to
072the total for the frack was around 636,000 and for the perk itself 1,386,000. Sizable projects that motion based on I make a motion to approve application payment five on the on the high school payment application and approve agreement six on the field payment application by Mr. next month where they're at the year start. >> Thank you very much. D5 for the petition. >> I'm sorry, Mr. to remind me that this is the actual uh approval of the certificate of completion establishing the one here and I know that uh do you have any in there already? Yes. >> Okay. So, it's already it's already included. I know that there was a little bit of delay that was because the project manager was having you know I think it was a coding dealing around but they returned
073it but that established warranty and everything else. >> Perfect. Any other questions? >> So this is August 28th for one month. >> We can we can make modifications to that. >> Make a motion to approve based on my features. >> Questions?
