Please guide our decisions today. May we be able to work as a team with integrity. May we respect each other's opinions and may our decisions be the best for our students. Amen. Amen. Thank you, ma'am. Do we have any public? Come on down, sir. All righty. And ladies and gentlemen of the board, ladies and gentlemen, I want to take this time to thank all veterans uh for everything that they've done to give us this opportunity to be free to speak our mind and with each other. Also, I wanted to ask a question to the board about the raises
002for teachers and uh pair professionals and hourly staff. I did come upon some salaries from West Leo that uh raises were 5,000 for five to five plus years. 2500. This is for teachers uh from three to four years of experience was 2500 and 2500 also for zero to two years experience and 4% for all other professionals par professionals and hourly staff and that was for Wesla and I came upon the one for Raymondville which is a smaller school and for PE uh teachers from one to two years had a $1,700 raise. uh from 3 to four years they had a $4,000 raise and from 5 years plus they had a 3 thou $ 8,000 I'm sorry $8,000 raise and for all auxiliary employees clerical par profofessionals administrative professional and employees and hourly employees they had
003a 3% increase also wanted ask our superintendent about the ban uniforms that we discussed last week. Uh is there any um updates? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sir, I I apologize. And also uh if we could come up with uh from the discussion that young lady had last week about the bullying, if we can come up with something for them to have a way of communicating uh we uh um without them knowing I I don't know how to say it, you know, for for them to be in a way that they feel comfortable to come forward to, you know, uh cry out for whatever reason they Also, there was a parent concerned about the insurance that you were speaking about last week that there was an incident. They didn't specify what there was an incident
004about the coverage for the insurance to look you know look after it and look over it and see what was the problem concerning the coverage for an insurance and um also about the the clock being that they were going to cost uh I think it's 65 to 65,000 to to put it on and I think it was an additional 17,000 yearly and what was the outcome of that to to see uh what was about done about that because $65,000 money for you know clocking in. Probably come up with something a lot you know inexpensive for for them because we're already all adults. We should know when to clock in and when not to clock in. And foremost, just want to thank you all for your time and uh that we as a community should be
005united for for what we're here for. And it's for the students, administration, uh everybody that's around the school. and we should be all grateful that we have the time and the freedom to come together because we owe it all to the veterans. And since it's going to be the 4th of July, just to give thanks to all them veterans that uh gave us that opportunity. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Com. Thank you. Anybody else? I'm sorry, Miss Pñ coming in. Good evening, ma'am. Good evening, board. Good evening, Proessel Texas. Okay. Um on the last meeting I I spoke out about soccer and uh I for and now that I read the agenda it says the UIL outcomes. So um I don't know if you're going to take with the board discuss what the board is
006going to do to that individual. And uh last week we were playing soccer with my little ones, the four and 5-year-olds, and we were winning. Of course, we have great soccer players. You can check out our page on Facebook. You can watch them there. And one of the coaches was saying, "Ah, Progresso, they cheat." And one of our parents, she he cocked. And then I saw her and I immediately went, "Okay, stop. We don't do that here. You know, I'll handle it." So, I spoke to the coach and I go, "Coach, they're little. Let's leave that out there. This is our time. This is their time. Let's not spoil it for them." So, with my conclusion is that we are labeled already as cheaters and like I have in our soccer league, I have zero
007tolerance on parents and players. No bullying. No, I can send it to you. I mean, I have a lot of rules. I don't give chances because that's who I am. And I am preparing them for the school for you guys so they can be a very um yes ma'am, no ma'am, that type of person. So, um I don't know what you guys are going to decide on that individual on the coach that did that because we're already labeled and uh we have a business. Well, my son has a business and he's from Progresso now. He lives in Mercedes and cuz and then they go cheaters. So, it's already having a ripple effect that we're cheaters and I'm very passionate about soccer as everybody knows that in Proesso. I am a huge advocate and uh I
008am doing my best with the community to bring those four year olds to the school district of Progresso. And I was this close this parent was bringing her child, two kids from IDEA to Progresso. And then I asked her, I so I am doing my part as a community to bring students back to Progresso with soccer and it's not working. They're going back to IDEA. So we're losing more children and that could hurt us. But I am very we are trying hard to keep them here in Proeso. So we need a clean image with our staff, our coaches so we could have uh prosper here in Proeso. Yeah, that's all I have to say. Thank you. Thank you, M. All right, at this time we go to item 84, uh the board minutes for June
00926, 2025, which is a regular board meeting. I need a motion. Yes, sir. I make a motion to approve the board minutes from June 26, 2025. Second. Motion by Miss Martina. Second by Mr. Cost say I sign. Motion passes. At this time, we go to district report. Good afternoon board members uh community. I had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Kamarena right now about the ban uniforms. We ordered the uniforms back in March. We are getting them uh the the last week of July. We spent close to $95,000. Uh I don't know if you remember that. As soon as we get them, we're gonna take pictures and we're gonna let the community know about uh the new band uniforms. And as you know, we have a very good band program this past year. Uh we
010made history. So, we're going to start pushing this year to make sure that that repeats uh again this year. We will be off uh the third and fourth week of July. We're coming back on August 4th. That is going to be a work day for the teachers. Everyone comes back on August 4th. Uh and we are planning to have our teachers and staff will come back on August 5th. We will be sending uh everyone an actual invitation. So you can join us for that Tuesday, August 5th. And also we're working with Driscoll to have a back to school fair. pass out the flyer. This will be for our community. It will take place at the high school on Monday, August 11 from 3 to 6. And as you can see, we're going to have different
011services for our community for our students. Um, right here it says that they're they're going to be giving out a thousand backpacks, but also we have our school supplies. So, uh, we've been doing this for the past five, six years. We're going to be giving our students a backpack and the supplies for this upcoming year, but again, Driscoll is going to be giving more backpacks for the community. We will have uh healthc care application assistance, uh, free immunization, vision exams. Uh, also, we're working to bring um haircut service for free for the community uh, and for our students. Again, this will take place on Monday, August 11. As soon as we get closer, we will let you know. Do Do we Do we do uh athlete physicals? Actually, we're we're adding it to this. Yeah.
012Great. I I believe we had one before the school end. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. But we we're going to put it as part of of the fair as well. Any questions? Um we have the strategic plan. I talked to Dr. ET. She has the week of August 15 through the 22nd available and also August 28th and 29th. So I'll be talking to you to see more or less what day would be perfect uh for Dr. to talk. The first meeting will be with the board and the superintendent. Uh we don't have to have everyone. So for whatever reason one or two are missing, we can continue uh with the presentation. However, for the team of eight training, we need every single board member and the superintendent. Uh once we come back in August, uh I'll
013talk to you to get a specific date. If for whatever reason you cannot make it from Monday through Friday, we also have Saturday available, but I need to talk to Mr. Ramirez if you have a Saturday so that way uh we can make arrangements with the presenter. And lastly, we have the Texas Edconerence that we have on a yearly basis. It'll take place in Houston from September 11 uh to the 14th. So look at your calendars. If you have it available, talk to Marisol so that way we can start. Um what are the dates? Uh September 11th through the 14th. The window opens in July 22nd. Uh it's a better we have the information. U they'll charge cheaper. We'll get the hotels. This will be again in Houston, Texas at con 2025. And that's all
014I have. Do you have any questions? Any questions? Does the discussion and possible action to amend the policy DC local improving practices bless you? President and Ronaldo. on this specific item. It's an item that relates to uh bringing in line your practices with your policies. Oftentimes you all or districts will tend to act a certain way even though the policy doesn't reflect that. And so the amendments, the proposed amendment to board policy DC is to make congruent the progresso practice with the policy. What is that practice that I'm referring to? It's the hiring of employees. Normally, Mr. Gronado has made it a practice to sometimes bring you uh who he's who he intends to hire specifically at will employees currently at will employees the way the policy reads it's completely delegated to Mr. Coronado he
015does not need to present that or bring that for the board for approval however in speaking with Mr. Coronado and kind of working on his practice. He's brought those in the past, shown them to you. And so what this is going to do, it's going to make it formal that the board will retain the hiring authority for also non-contractual employees. Currently, the board already retains the authority for contract employees, but now non-contractual employees will also be will also require final board approval before Mr. Coronado hire them for on boarding. And so that's what this specific amendment is. The amendment all it does is make the same language for contractual and non-contractual and that is that the board retains final authority for employment. Can you explain what the difference is between contractual and non-contractual? Yes sir.
016So under a contractual employee in a school district that's reserved for employees who generally hold a state board of education certification. Those are individuals who are usually in the classroom. uh governed by chapter 21 of the Texas Education Code that includes nurses, principals, teachers, counselors, some central office uh academic individuals if they are overseeing or evaluating anyone below them. So, it's a class of employees uh who usually get contracts. Then we have some non very common non-chapter 21 contracts. those are sometimes referred to uh or are reserved for maybe CFOs or that nature of high employee rankings. Um everyone else in the district would be considered an IWL employee and so currently the IWL employee is legally delegated by you to the superintendent. The superintendent wants to make sure that hiring practices are even for
017both contractual and non-contractual. And so non-contractual would mainly uh impact the working class of transportation, CNS, grounds, all maintenance, all those employees will all be coming to the board before approval. Now it is not uncommon for to onboard an employee before board approval, right? Subject to board approval. So for example, if in the summer Mr. Corn is trying to hire uh individuals and maybe we don't have a meeting coming up till August, he can still offer employment to them. So long as he discloses that their employment is still subject to board approval. And so if the board does not approve it, the employee knows they're not going to have a job. But in the meantime, between offering a job and approving it, they can be conditionally employed with the purpose of maybe not losing a
018good employee to another school district or for that matter. I I I believe that the recommendation will bring will bring more transparency to the process of hiring hourly employees or pair professionals. Uh number one, and number two, I think it's going to bring consistency as well. So that way every time we have a meeting and we hire someone, everyone is on the same page as to who's coming into the district. Any questions? Action items. So this would be this will go into effect immediately. Or whatever including these. That's correct. Yes, sir. I make a motion to approve B2. Discussion of possible action to amend board policy. Second. Motion by M. Martinez, second by Mr. Pettis. All in favor say I. I. We. Motion passes. At this discussion update on the matters related to the UIL
019soccer program hearing. Members of the board community, Mr. Board President, we we were we were hoping to have a better update for you at this meeting. At the last meeting, we spoke about waiting for UIL to send us the official notice to us about what they actually did. We have not received the official notice from UIL. Um, that being said, UIL did issue a press release that I think left us more questions than answers. And so, after hearing the last audio of the hearing and reading the press release, there's some inongruencies there. Mr. Coronado spoke to Mr. Ni, he was not aware that that press release had been issued out. But even though the press release was issued out, we progress have not received the official letter about what our actual status is from UIL.
020So, all we have is the hearing minutes from that day and um until we get the letter, I would like to hold off on a formal update. That way, we can make sure we inform the properly from what we actually received from UIL instead of speculating or giving any misinformation. Have you asked UI about how long it's going to take? How long how long? I emailed uh yesterday Mr. Dr. Harrison and I have not heard back from him. I will say that because of where we are in the year, July 4th week, I do know a lot of people are out. So, I'm going to wait till Monday, see if I get something. Hopefully, we have something that But as soon as we get that, this item will be carried over to the next meeting
021to give a proper update on that. Where was this press release? Where is it? Um, we got it online as a link. We It was not issued to anybody in particular. It's just like something that that that uh UIO puts out. We can forward it to the board if you all like to see it. Alex. Yes. Any other questions? All right, perfect. Thank you, Mr. Dominguez. At this time, we go uh from C1 with C6. It's all it's probably it's uh renewals, correct? Do you want to go one by one? Yes, that that's fine. Uh we'll go to C1, which is the calendar. Uh last week we talked about it. I think we got consensus. All I need is just to approve it. if for whatever reason we have to move the uh graduation date
022uh just give us the authorization to do that if it rains or or whatever. So I I don't want to bring it in May running like you know what uh we need to change it for whatever reason. Okay. Just make sure whoever does the motion make sure you put there that that we're going to give authorizations to change the graduation date. Uh then we go to C2. We have Chromebooks uh purchased for instructional use. I know that this is something that we've been talking about uh since the second semester started. We are planning to buy 200 for the high school, 150 for DTMS, 75 for elementary, and 75 for early childhood. And the reason why we're going 7575 is because last year we bought some for uh the elementaryaries through the after school program. So
023if you look at the um the C2 you guess if you look at at the actual C2 you have the three uh documents there. So the recommendation would be to go I'll give you the name right now which was the cheapest one with 154,240 with 92 cents southern computer warehouse. Does it I was going to ask a question on that one and the cheapest. Does it going to include the mouse the little mouse? It's their laptop. So they had they had they have it included because they have it on the as part of the Chromebook. Yes, it is their Chromebooks. Does this put us at Does every student will every student have a Chromebook now? Yes. Now the high school was the one that was a little behind. Uh so yes, that's why we're giving
024200 to the high school. Okay. How about the elementary and the early child? the elementaryaries we we have a combination of of Chromebooks and iPads as well. So, uh the lower grade levels are using the the iPads. So, we do have the one to one. Now, um as we go through the transitional period, some of the computers are very old, so we're trying to uh renew them. In fact, some of the teachers are asking for computers, and I think within this purchase, we're going to be able to help teachers as well. We'll have it before the school starts, right? Is there going to be a second purchase? Like I just want to make sure every student has a device even in the early childhood because you know how we're geared more towards technology. So by
025when is our plan to that that every student's going to have a device? I'll get you an update during the next board meeting. Our plan was to purchase more computers, but today we got an email that uh President Trump is freezing some of our federal funds. Um, as soon as we have a better picture of our budget, in fact, we need to finalize our budget next month. We'll let you know how much we need to uh make sure that we cover the one to one district wide. Are we also getting covers for the iPads? Cuz I know the I mean, yes, that's a great idea. The iPads are better for the little ones. Um, but maybe like are we going to purchase also covers cuz I didn't see it on here. Let let me talk
026to to uh the principles about it. This is the first time I hear about it. I'm I'm not sure if we need them, but if we do, we'll buy them. Yeah. Just to protect them. Another question on because I don't know how you do it here for each kid or student to get a Chromebook or iPad. Who's control of that? The librarian or the classroom teacher or how do they get distributed? So, so uh it depends on the on the campus. At the elementary levels, the teachers are the ones taking care of that because they have students that stay there. Uh at the secondary we have the librarian who has um all of the inventory um and and uh they give it to the teachers and then they they get it back. And also sir,
027do we have a plan to take care of these? Like as far as the tech turnaround like okay something's wrong with the computer, something's wrong with the Chromebook or whatnot. Um how long do the texts have to respond to that? That that's a good question. Let me let me uh bring a report during the next uh meeting. I'll meet with the principles to see more or less uh we might need to replace a position for uh a tech u once we open the position we we'll I think we had this conversation to try to have one per campus. Yes, I think yes and and and that that's the plan as we work uh through the budget process. If that is a priority that we need, obviously we're going to put it on top where we
028can have a schedule like they'll be at this campus this day, this campus this day, and if there's a major issue, then they can go to the whatever other campus needs it, but that way they're more accessible to the teachers, to the staff, cuz I know when I was on campus, that was a major issue for us. Definitely, man. Yes. So, first thing, you got you guys got three quotes, so that's good. Yes. No, no, no. and and and you know that's something that we try our best to to bring you. Is there any way that we can get uh reimbursement for returning all the old equipment that we have for for refurbishment or something? That's a good question. We have the technology here. I think we usually we we we get auction. We get
029we auction we auction. Yes. Yeah, we auction. Oh, auction. Okay. Yeah, we auction. Something's better than nothing, I guess. Yeah. Let me let me do me a favor, Mr. Gr. Let's go back to C1. Let me get a motion letting go. Yeah, let's go one by one as we present. Um, make sure we do the motion with give them the authorization for um for the graduation date. Graduation. Yeah. At this time, I make a motion to approve C1 Prod 2026 calendar with authorization to to move graduation date if needed. Motion by Martinez. Second by Mer say I. I. All I can say nay. Motion passes. Let's go to C2 for the Chromebooks. I need a motion. I make a motion to approve the Chromebooks purchase. Motion by Martinez. Second. Second by Mr. Perez. All in
030favor say I. I. All say nay. Motion passes. We go to C3. Yes. C3 is a renewal for the credit recovery program. Uh I met with the high school principal and recommendation is to renew the program for next year. Who oversees the the setup and of the are these like modules? They they are like modules. you go in in in the computer and our teachers oversee what modules each student needs to take based on whatever they're missing. Yes. And and and actually we do have a teacher that takes care of of of the actual monitoring, but the ones that have the responsibility are the counselors. Okay. So there's like a lab. I was wondering that when I was there's a lab and the kiddos that are falling behind on credits, they go to this lab
031and that's where they do like a credit recovery. Yes. That's what I understood. And we also have the program over here in DAP for those students that are staying behind. We provide the program for them to get the credits. How many students used it? So last year we had 189 licenses. So one student can take three four classes in in in one semester. Uh so it's a license per class. Could we use this like for students that dropped out? Like let's say we want to go around because this would be perfect. this would really increase our, you know, uh, our ratios, our dropout rate. This would help us overall if we could bring in kiddos that have dropped out. Could this work for them? Actually, this is the type of program that they use. Uh,
032I've been talking to region one. I think you and I had the conversation about the adult classes, and this is something that would benefit those students who struggled to graduate in the past, but but they get the credits that they need through this type of programs. That's awesome. Maybe we can work on like advertise this And maybe we could have like night classes. Yeah, that that would be great. I mean, at night would be great, too. Um, but we could have like recruiters. Like, we could look through the rosters. Who were the kiddos that have dropped out in the past, I don't know, 5 years. Maybe we can go knock on doors and bring them in. Yeah. And actually, that's what we're doing right now as part of the recruitment process. Uh, one of the
033things that we've noticed, uh, and I'll I'll stick it to the program. Yeah. The attorney's looking at me. Uh, one of the things that we've noticed is the some of the dropout students go to Mexico. So, it's hard to um get him. Uh, but that that is the plan. Bring him back and go through the edmentum program. That's awesome. Get the credits. So, they physically have to come to our one of our campuses and sit. Yes. At one point at one point we provided the computer to the student because of COVID and and they were doing it at home. uh that is something that we can do if we get to a point where an individual cannot come because they're working or but we analyze every individual situation. How successful is this? It is very
034successful. Yes. Yes. Um many of our students get to graduate because of this program. But we get like a number of how many kiddos like Mr. Bettis has I I can go back. So I got the 189 licenses that we use. Let me let me see how many students uh were the ones physically using it. Do we have a limit as to how many students can use it or so uh right now what we are proposing to you is to get 200 licenses. If we need more obviously I will come back to you and and amend the contract. So the each it's one license per student per subject per subject. But let's say that and then there's an unlimited number of students that can use that license. Yes. But right now we focus on the
035atrisisk students. Students that for whatever reason are struggling with attendance, students that are working, you know, again we analyze every specific situation. Is there a need to like have somebody specifically in charge of that like in that lab and recruiting parents? And do we have somebody specifically doing that? Is there a need for that? We we do but but as I mentioned right now the counselors are very involved uh through the process. Um, we hired the new football coach who's going to be helping us out over here in the AP and he he will also be part of this process to help us out. Um, the recruitment part, right, to go and see if the students are struggling or how or why they're not coming to school or But we have one counselor at the
036high school, right? We have two, one at early college and one at at the high school. Cuz I know they have a lot on their plate already. They do. As a counselor, I know I know it's a lot. So maybe we can look at the at the numbers and see if maybe they need help. We can have somebody help them. Definitely. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Any other questions? Is this a good price? You think? I think so. Yes. I I I think uh it is a good investment for those students who I mean the investment it's a good investment but the price though I mean because the the mod the program is is a is an investment but the cost of that investment actually last year I checked we paid $33,000 uh cuz we
037had more licenses but we didn't use them. So this year license yes I'm I'm being very conservative about it. Uh so we're saving money there. Any other questions? Welcome. That's a great program. Thank you, sir. Oh, no. Thank you. All right. Does this need a motion to approve it? I make a motion to approve C3. Motion by Martinez. Second say I motion passes. C4 mathematics. Paralyze math is the curriculum that we have for the lower grades uh at early childhood. It's been a very very good program, very structure. Uh the recommendation from administration is to pass it. It's a renewal. Any questions for Mr. Berno? How many how many classes will we have for prek and first grade? So the projection right now is we are planning to have two possibly three preK3s. Um three
038preK4s, three kinders hopefully. If we get to the numbers, four in first uh first grade and four and second grade. This is just for kinder and first grade, right? Yes. This is the actual curriculum that we use for for those grade levels. Any questions? I make a motion to approve C4 by Martinez. Second, I say motion passes. Sharon Wells. Sharon Wells is the curriculum that we have for uh second grade all the way to 8th grade. Um talked to the principles. Uh they like the results that we got. Uh so the recommendation is to renew it this year. again on the cost. I mean, is is this all we we've we've had? Yes. Yeah, we've been How long have we been using? Yeah, Sharon Wells has been here for about 10 years. Even before I
039got here, they already had Sharon Wells and and the teachers really like it because it's very structured, very very structured. So, uh um every year we've been renewing it. Now, one thing that I can tell you is we don't pay it out of our 199. We pay it out of uh some federal funds that we have which is IMA uh because they cover all of the TICS. So that that makes it easier for us to invest in programs like this and they have tried other ones but they prefer this one. Most districts use one summer they tried another one works for them. Any other questions? Can I make a motion to I do have there's two I I do have a question. There's two uh quotes. That's the total of 68, right? Yeah, I just
040saw that. Um I I think it's because they divided it by campuses. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Sorry about that. No, no problem. I make a motion to approve C5. Motion by Miss Martinez, second in favor say I. I say motion passes 66. Uh this one is a system that we have. We've been using it for the past seven, eight years. It comes from region one. and it is it's uh takes resources and the principles use it to uh structure the curriculum and it also has a lot of videos u the teachers use to model for them um good lessons. We go back to the investment $9,000 district why I think it's it's it's a good investment um and and the principles recommend to pass it. So basically just real quick um so the teachers do
041have input on all this and with the principles and they're involved. Yes ma'am. Yes. Okay. Work it works. Any other questions? I make a motion to approve C5 C6. Sorry. Motion by Martinez. Second by me. I I say name. Motion pass at this time. discussion and possible action to authorize superintendent uh to go out for bits with the athletic insurance services. As we mo mentioned last week, we were going back and forth. Um if you allow us to open it up, we should have it ready by next month during the meeting. Uh but but once we approve it, please end this recording out cuz I don't I don't want to run out of time. Remember, we have a we have a deadline. We needed to approve it today. No, that's what we're doing. on it

You start you start volleyball in two three two weeks. Yeah, you're still covered to the 31st. No, that's what I'm saying. It has to be published for two weeks. Correct.
