Enrique, camera, cameraman. I really am very lost for words when uh I was watching was being sweated the meeting and when I was hearing about the meeting my only question is why and all my questions are why was a 16-year-old child being led to give a testimony without uh parenting or uh legal council. Uh Mike Mell who was a presiding I think it's a judge but he
002was saying he was not a judge uh because he took judgment on 16 of our young gentlemen that uh worked super hard to get to where they were at and by him taking everything out every single paper document testimony given without then and he only took the testimony of a child at 16 years old when he without counsel or his parent present saying that he had family problems and that he came back. My only question is why was he led to be giving testimony without council or his parents present? Uh like the lady said right now we as a community are devastated because of what inspired gr men because a little people were not given taking away from the hard work of all these young men but they're only stopping or what's going to happen
003because these kids have a bright future in soccer and they will be back for the next 5 10 years they will be back but Why is my question? Why was that child not protected? And I just hold it up on your Why did you not protect you know our children at that moment when we need? Hello, sir. to enforce and protect every child not the ones he likes. That is wrong in a sense coach was not notified. He knew since 3:00 he got the ticker before everybody else. He did not notify the soccer team. And what they did to the kid embarrassed everyone here we're not united we're not united. We're not number one rank in the state.

He didn't care about the community looking good. He cared about himself looking good. K down down with no remorse looking in the eyes got have a dark you no we we have response but we can't respond we cannot respond Mhm. Thank Good evening community of progress. Good evening, school board. As everyone knows in this town I am very committed to soccer and this does hurt being a coach myself a youth
005coach I've had some of these children play soccer with me and it is heartbroking heartbroken and heartbroken soccer players number one progress I mean, you know, applause to them and school, do what you got to do. Progress state with promising events. We do n't be known how we are right now. Let's bring this program again and please work together with the community. And I'm just speechless right now. I do n't know what to say anything anymore. Just putting your hands and God's hands. Thank you. How odd. President. I am here as a concerned parent of a student athlete of Progresso high school soccer team regarding the deeply unfortunate events that occurred on Friday April 4th, 2025 and San Antonio. As you are aware, the Progressive Soccer team was disqualified from the state semi-finals due to
006a procedural issue involving the PAPF form. I am seeking clarity and for the soccer uh the school district to back up our soccer team boys from the humiliation that they endured. According to the audio of the UL meeting, an anonymous email questioning a player's eligibility received by the UL the morning of the semifinal game. This player had been on the official roster for 30 games throughout the season. So it is deeply concerning that his eligibility was only challenged at a critical moment. Is it not the responsibility of the intrum athletic director to verify that all eligibility documentation particularly for transfer students, is complete and submitted in a timely manner? Why was this not flagged earlier in the season? Furthermore, the timing and source of this anonymously pleased complaint raised serious concerns. Was this information considered
007public? And if so, did anyone formally request this particular student's information prior to the game? How was this internal documentation shared with the UIL on the day of such an important match for the team? The result of this situation was devastating, not only for the individual involved, but for the entire team and community, which they had worked tirelessly throughout an undefeated 30 and no season. Their hopes and dreams of becoming state champions were taken from them, not by their own actions, but by the failure of adults entrusted with their oversight. I respectfully urge this board to investigate how this breakdown occurred and to hold the appropriate individual accountable or student athletes deserve better transparency fairness and assured that it will not happen next year or happen ever again for coach Magayán and coach Sánchez. Thank
008you so much for all your dedication. for all the effort they made for our boys to get us to the state. That was always the goal. I speak for myself, and for several of the dads who are super proud. I really don't know how this person who spoke out, who knew what was happening, can sleep at night, affecting not only our youth, but the community, and once again tarnishing the name of progress . This has to stop, there has to be a change. If everyone here, especially the board and the athletic director, truly cares about our children and the youth of progress, then there needs to be a change. Thank you for doing. Good evening school board members and superintendent. Today I'm here to speak on behalf of our community. I know we went through
009on an unexpected experience this Friday that I do not wish on any other team ever, but I come before you all today to express the gratitude and respect we all have for the soccer staff and team. Although they have only been here for two years, they have been very impactful coaches to these young men. Not only have they helped improve our players on the field, but also taught them to become mature, respectful young men. We know that they haven't had the most welcoming environment since they joined our district, but they never felt to keep the focus on the team. Unfortunately, they didn't achieve their goal this year as a team, but we hope that next year under their coaching, we are able to make history and become state chance. In closing, I'm positive. The decision
010that you are about to resolve the issue in front of you is not an easy one. However, I trust that you will leave politics, compadismo and power struggle and stick to progress Id mission of positively promoting the efforts of the students to serve and advocate for the students. This is the opportunity to show the entire student body that you hold the seat for the right reason. I know most of you on the board are parents or uncles. Um, and I just hope that you guys keep that in mind when making this decision. I know the decision lies on you guys. Thank you for scandals. Good afternoon, progress unit, board of directors, the superintendent. It's quite something what's happened with the students, and I say that because I was a soccer coach for the kids' league
011with Alicia, and yes, I mean, I always went the extra mile for the kids, and if I had to go 5 extra miles, I did it. Precisely for that reason, because of the emotional state that the students of the soccer team have gone through, my company RGB Bom Express is giving them a donation of passes for Cerbon. Ah, either they can do it as a script or the parents can agree and bring everyone. Here they are. I give them to the Gracias, no thim. Claudia, Mrs. Claudia, well, first I apologize. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Uh, thank you so much for giving us this time. I apologize beforehand because if I'm going to cry, it's part of my personality. First of all , I want to thank the children and tell them that we are very
012proud of everything they have experienced, of everything the coaches have made us experience by guiding them to where they are, keeping them cool with everything they are going through, and my question to the superintendent who was always behind us supporting the mothers, the community, I mean, I have no words to tell so many people who were behind this odyssey and this great step in their lives. And that's precisely why I'm upset, that's why I have stage fright standing here in front of so many people . So, the fact that I'm here is amazing. It's about thanking them and explaining why we've reached this point, why the image of those children, and emphasizing the progress of whoever runs the page, I don't know who it is, emphasizing the defeated. The children arrived with 30, sorry. undefeated
013with 30 games without losing, without scoring, so that they would mark that image of defeat. And I say this for my son in particular; the fact that he is seen in that position is not to my liking. He is strong, he is docile, he has an impressive presence, so it's not right that they're presenting him in this way. I feel that it was very poorly handled to get to that point. There were friends who went there on a transfer . All those expenses, all that euphoria of reaching a game, a semi-final, a state final, is impressive. And I thank the children, each and every one of them, the one who carried the camera, everyone, for always being there with all their heart. And my question is this: what's going to happen next year? How do
014we leave those children, those coaches who give their all in every game, feeling encouraged? How can they keep kicking that ball with the desire to keep doing it the same way if in the end they're going down? Because? I don't know. I mean, it was a lack of organization of some kind, but it was paperwork, it was something that I don't even know at what point in the situation it happened, but the children gave it their all and I think we have to welcome them back and give them back in the same and exact currency, and next year is still to come, what's going to happen? How are they going to kick? How are they going to play? How can we, with our hearts in our hands, be giving them our full support? From the
015world to those children, how are we going to do it? This is my question for all of us, for all of you, and for the children who saw it all and now we are here fighting for them when they did it on the field, we lost off the field and that is not valid for a footballer, it is not valid for a footballer's mother. That's all I wanted to say and thank you, coach, from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for everything. Thank you. And hopefully next year there will be different progress, and there will be revived and restored progress. If we learned from last year not to fight, not to, and there's Tyson out there, not to, not to, not to resolve things with fighting and words, and we learned. What are we going
016to learn from here? It is what we have left, and what should remain for each and every one of us. But they did their part and we have to applaud them tremendously because they gave their all on the field, they lost off the field and that's not fair and it feels humiliating. And the pictures are the only thing I ask for, those pictures are not of the progress team, they are not of my champion son, that's not fair, that's all. Oh, sorry. Alejandro Reyes. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. On this occasion I want to express my disagreement with the feelings not only of myself, but I believe of many people who are here, due to the evident lack of support from both the athletic or sports director and the main director. These children, against all odds,
017have taught them—and if you had n't noticed, let me tell you—they have taught them what it means to work as a team. They have taught us adults how to do our work in the field. They demonstrated this through their actions, through a lack of support, especially when the stadium renovation began. Originally it was established that the track should be made solely and exclusively when a stadium benefits many more sports lines or sports than can be given on the tartan, on the tartan track. I'm telling you this because I saw it as a second point, the lack of staff who see the boys' injuries on the field. How is it possible that in 30 games I only saw that person I mentioned in the last two? Who is it? That's not the person. Boys don't just
018get hurt in the finals or semi-finals. Quantity, quantity of games in which the athletes ended up with second- degree sprains. And where were the people who were supposed to be there ? The boys were on the field when they needed to be. The boys scored the goals when they had to score them. They did their job, and as for the others, how is it possible that the community of progress, sponsors, and people outside their second home supported them more than their second home itself? Not being able to have a field to train on, a field to play on, being subject to the arrangements and schedules of another field because my second home couldn't get it for me. Ah, but they did produce results and brought tournaments and championships. And do you know who did it?
019The team with their coaches. I repeat, against all odds, they delivered results. There they are. 30 undefeated games, zero draws, zero losses. The least they need is the support of their second home. Clearly the problem is not the team, the team made up of players and coaches. If change has to happen, it has to happen at the levels where it needs to happen, where the results weren't achieved , because the game was lost at the table. That's not up to the boys. The games that are lost at the table are the responsibility of the administrators, the directors, and all the staff behind a team who don't play on the field. I reiterate my sincere thanks to the coaches and players because you did your job. You are champions. yar. Good afternoon. I just want to
020let you know, because it has been circulating that I, Lis's mother, who, well, I am proud, I am not Lis's mother, was being paid money by the coaches for services, for the rental house that the boys have and more, which is not true. I don't know if that person or those people have proof of what they are talking about, because I do have proof of what I am saying, that every month I send their parents what is the rent, the electricity. They already know the rent, but they send the electricity and water bills on time every month. So that person or people who are talking about that, it's not true. I only have gratitude for the coaches for treating and taking good care of my boys, our boys. So, that's the only thing I want
021to clarify, and thank you very much. Thank you and good afternoon to all. First, I want to thank you for the opportunity we have been given to be present here at this meeting and to participate, so that we can say that the decision that was made to disqualify the boys from our team was unfair. Why was it unfair? Because they left it until the last minute, and as we've been hearing, this was already known beforehand, and they should have done something that wasn't so humiliating for these boys. But I know that mistakes happen, we all make mistakes and errors, but I hope that this mistake that was made was not done on purpose. That's what would resonate with all of us the most. that behind this disqualification there was because they did it with some
022other purpose. I also want to tell the guys and the coaches that we are very proud of the great job they did. As we have already heard, 30 inactive matches. This is not seen very, very often. We know this takes time, it takes a lot of effort, and these guys here, the coaches, did a great job, and that's why we want to continue supporting them. We know that what happened is something that affects everyone emotionally, especially the boys. But we know that there are falls for some reason, but one has to be willing to get up, keep their head held high, because what they did they did very well. Back in the 80s, I was a great athlete in Mexico, in Tamaulipas. I became a boxer, I became a coach for boxers, I was also
023a referee and I know that it is also a great commitment, I know that it is a great commitment for coaches or for someone like me as a referee . And so once again I emphasize, much gratitude to all and have a good afternoon. Thank you. Luc Alvarez. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I just want to thank the coaches. I speak on behalf of the entire team. We only want to ask one thing of the board of directors. We want to ask you to leave them alone. Because? Because without them we wouldn't have achieved what we achieved this year. What did we achieve? a perfect score that was snatched away from us and so much effort shouldn't have been made, so many falls, so much for nothing. I also want to tell you that
024all the news, everything affects us both emotionally and physically. And I want to thank the coaches for everything they do for us, so much effort, so much of everything, and I want to ask them again, what for? Much Juan Carlos. Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. I only have two points. First, I want to thank the team, the guys, my kids, the coaches, and so on. The work they did was amazing. I think we all agree on that. And the next thing is, I think it's already been mentioned two or three times, the lack of support that the boys had at the beginning and during the 26-28 days they played. Hey, here's an anecdote, you can't deny it , in some matches there were four or five of us cheering them on, supporting them. This isn't
025to say we were at every game, but I do feel that they lacked a lot of support. It wasn't seen from your side. I'm referring to you because you're the ones in charge and you should send someone to be with you, an athletic director or a trainer, I do n't know, I'm unaware of the procedures. My son got hurt, he was one of those who were injured, he was out for a month, a month and a half, it wasn't to receive support and not because I asked for it, but just because of the feeling of how the child was, if something serious happened to him or not. That did bother me. It bothered me that she didn't have the support she needed. The only ones who were concerned were the coaches, with calls, wanting to
026know what happened to him, how he was. Even that night they didn't let me go until 1 a.m. when we left the hospital. So, I feel that something is missing and I know that we have to correct it right now . We know that on the sporting side we're doing well, the kids, the coaches, and someone else, an assistant they had there , I don't remember the name, but I feel that the work was done and if there's anything to do administratively, I think it should be done. We cannot live with the uncertainty, with the doubt that something similar will happen to us again next year. And if we're going to be like this , I feel that we can't be in a place where we're not wanted. Yes, my children, it might hurt me
027a lot, but if we're not going to be in a place where we are wanted, we can't be here. I think that's all. Thank you. From 6:37 and we're going to go to executive session. Okay.
