001all right good good afternoon uh March 25th we're here for the public he first uh for the proposed progress ID plan to apply for the district Innovation Mr uh good afternoon Mr President members of the board community members uh I met with part of the committee that we're going to propose to you later on in the meeting to talk about the District of innovation and part of the plan will be two factors number one we want to start school earlier uh because right now we are starting the third week of August while idea and other schools are starting the second even the first week of August uh and the committee was very happy about that uh also once we do that we're going to be able to create the calendar vote on it uh and

002some of the options that we talked about had to do with having a fall break although some teachers were like especially the secondaries they didn't like the idea uh Elementary uh teachers said yes some parents said well but I work so what's going to happen with with my kid anyway so what I told them is that we're going to put it as part of the option then we're going to let everybody vote so the factor number one is going to be to start earlier and then the second one uh and I think everybody agreed had to do with CT since we're expanding our programs we would like to have uh the designation as part of the CTE in case we don't have a teacher that has specific certification but he or she has uh enough

003hours then that person can become a teacher uh so that's what we're going to present right now um once the committee decides to say yes any questions any questions I do have any questions from the community no comments all right at the time board I need a motion please no this would be just public I still need a motion to Jour the public a motion to adjourn motion toour Garcia Flores on motion passes at this time of March 2025th uh to regular board meeting at this time we can all please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance flag the flag of the United States of America to The Republic God indivisible with liberty Justice for All honor the Texas flag Texas State God we're yes sir Heavenly Father we want to thank you for giving us

004the opportunity to be here today today thank you very much for blessing our students who were part of the Livestock Show and also the soccer team that won yesterday we have a game today with softball and baseball so please uh bless all of our students in our community in the name of Jes Christ amen at the time we have public guard miss m okay who's the first one go ahead man hello good evening I'm sorry Sorry by board polic local each person who has signed up will have five minutes to speak on their topic I will be keeping time and will raise my hand when you have one minute remaining all Rules of Civility for and as a reminder the bo Board of Trustees will not respond thank you and your time good afternoon uh

005my name is Jasmine I'm here because uh I had a parent from the community reach out to me uh regarding um student within that comes here to the district with medical illness terminal medical illness so my question to you all is what is it that you all do for students that have terminal medical illness like cancer it's not the first parent that has reached out to me it's actually a second parent and I'm going to read their their message is um no but the social workers the school board or the school district should provide sort of device for his work any a teacher or Ed Special Ed I assume should gone to the house at least once a week just to make sure he was doing okay and if he needed any help with work

006we registered him and have never heard from the school Noel Friday before spring break Maya counselor because he needs to take the Del why are students not treated equally why are students not treated as they're supposed to be treated where their normal kids Special Aid kids or kids with special medical needs so that's my question to the word I know you're not gonna answer my question but it's something to be considered you all follow through with your nurses how many students do we have in the district who have terminal terminal medical illnesses y all treat them the same because what I see is that students are traded as a dollar sign and that's all my what I had to say for today thank you thank you we have Miss P the door is locked first

007of all um I have things I want to say since we already have the performs and the band going what about if we have the drill team now with girls or guys um other school districts they have drill team so that would be uh I think that would be pretty cool for progressa to have a drill team and my second topic of the day night is I would like to soccer players one of my coaches want to rep we want to give this to the board for all their help that they've giving us and the support for our kids for progress of fire and to top it off to have our banquet end of the banquet here at the cafeteria that was great e h and this is for uh Serio Coronado our superintendent I

008want to say that he has helped us with our projects throughout the season and he's very supportive for the community and thank you board you're welcome let's get please hey good afternoon [Music] um not so very positive but finally getting support out to our soccer team uh the cheerleaders were out there uh there was a lot of people in the community the posting and everything helped on social media so we on behalf of the soccer team and parents and coaches we wanted to thank y'all for for the support and hopefully um it continues um and that was one of them the other one's not so very positive um I myself we've came across teachers um that come up to our kids and either yell their lungs out at them or or address them I but

009I know that if our students were to address the teachers they would probably end up being in school suspension uh or Ry parents come and address a teacher the Poli will probably be called on us so um maybe you know really speak to your staff and and how to address it in a more manner at the the that were Bash one of the teachers came up to my daughter and started like asking her or telling her about that the adults around her were bashing the children well me as a parent I didn't like that that the teacher came up to her and started asking her and telling her about the which no one doubt was was bashing or making fun of the TR or none of that because one of the parents put that on

010social media and started all crazy and stuff I was just wanted to say that like thank you take care thank you anybody else all right to1 which is District repor once again good afternoon Mr President members of the board and Community um as we mentioned before soccer team won against idea and we're waiting to see we're going to be playing uh Marble Falls or leria they're playing today we have a b baseball game today here at home versus Raymondville and our softball team is playing today in Santa Rosa I created a small Compensation Plan SE actually a pay scale at the beginning of the of the pay scale analysis so you can see it as we prepare move into next fiscal year we going to have to make some uh decisions when it comes to

011budget and also obviously the pay scale especially with teachers so I'm going to start with with the teachers one first then the next meeting I'll so the first page reflects our progress pay scale and in that first one this is the one that uh we voted for back in August however if you remember we gave out a $2,000 raise for the teachers so in reality this one is the one that we have we did not change it because we felt that it was not going to be fair for new teachers to come in and to start making more than what our teachers were making uh but take that into consideration because if you want to add the $2,000 during the summer it's going to be uh up to you like if we get new teachers

012right now this is the scale that we are following however since we gave out those $2,000 if you turn the page that's the number that uh I use to compare with other districts and I tried to choose districts that had their their information on the website uh so we have uh progress YZ edcouch Elsa mon Alto laa ISD Santa Maria Santa Rosa so at first if you look at uh zero years of experience and those are teachers are here with us that started the year with us uh those teachers were making $448,000 versus Ed $52,000 montealto 51 laa 51 Santa Maria 45 Santa Rosa 50,000 so at first we look at it and we're thinking you know what uh we're behind about $2,000 for the teachers that we have right now however as the years

013progress if you look at year number five for instance we are at $5 51,3 51300 and then ow Chelsa 53725 montealto 535 48 laia 53 321 Santa Maria 47600 and Santa Rosa 52 so seems that we're catching up right and then if you go to year five if you look across we already passed Ed couch we passed uh lailla we passed Santa Maria and we passed Santa Rosa uh and the reason why is because when we had the tasby analysis about 10 years ago we followed the step protocol and I'm going to show it to you right now but if you look at year 20 for instance those teachers that we have that have 20 years of experience are making $63,000 versus the rest it's very very competitive so we try to take care of

014the teachers that have experience here with us you turn the page you're going to see the actual step structure the step is the amount of money that we give to them on a yearly basis based on their experience and and this is not counting the race this is just the step that we have on a on a yearly basis so if you look at Progresso year one two and three we have 400 200 600 but those teachers that have been W with us for four five six seven years get between a th000 and $2,000 on a yearly basis just because of the then we when we go to year 20 thanks to your decision last uh summer we were able to help those teachers that were stuck at year 20 because we have some that

015have 21 years of experience 22 23 24 and we said you know what those teachers we're going to give them $1,000 extra compared to the rest if you look at their step structure I think we have a very very good structure now just think about it what is it that you want to do during the summer if you want to change it if you want to add more um during the workshop that we're going to have for the budget it's going to be a good opportunity you have any questions no sir okay also we voted last time that we were going to move into the uh fingerprint structure we already got one quote the software is called TCP and with everything everything included including including also substitutes CU I think it's important for us to

016uh buy the whole product uh this one is at $68,000 Lupita is going to be meeting with two other companies on Thursday once we have all the information we'll bring it up to you and then you vote and again this is for the fingerprint system we had a meeting with the teacher incentive allotment committee and in April we are planning to apply to the expansion of the teacher incentive allotment program you look at page two right now we have uh the STAR testing and the eoc's and we do it through the vam and then we also have Kinder through second grade and we're using the star Renaissance growth measure that's what we have right now if you turn to the last page our plan is to expand this year to CTE prek and advanced placement

017so for CTE we would use the ISF as part of the assessment for prek we would use Circle and for the advanced placement the test that we have and the following year we're planning to expand it to uh reading uh to special ed and interventionist and the following year TSI NP and then phase four the electives now if this changes if we see for whatever reason that we can expand it uh sooner we'll present it to you any questions questions any ideas if you do slos you can expand it to every yes because the third year that we've done it and we've gotten it so the percentages of the teachers that get it should be increasing and I think we're stalled so maybe we should start considering other measurements that that is a very good

018point and actually let me tell you that we have nine teachers that are teachers in training but because they don't have a certification they that number is not part of the factor and it affects us so we already send the letter to those teachers if they don't pass by May they're not going to be able to um good point man thank you just consider that we want to give share the wealth with more teachers yeah definitely any other questions no I have um duties and responsibilities report this one is for you to take home this one has the summary of the duties and responsibilities at the the Schools central office it's a summary uh look it over very nice template that we use uh if you have any questions let us know this is just

019for your information because I know sometimes they like okay what is Mr Hernandez doing or what is uh Lupita doing so it it'll be here also I have the overtime and the attendance report I'm going to be giving out the overtime on a monthly basis I think it'll be easier for you to to see it and not get the whole list and then get scared like oh my God this a h list and the attendance we had talked about it I think back in December and I have a pen drive for each one of you with all the information with the punching in and out signing in and out the campus and for the district it was a lot of work but we achieved it and now I'm going to pass it on to uh

020Miss Audrey roacha she has more presentation on the cafeteria context good service f I'm so sorry I forgot we were andic basically our daily uh participation compared to our enrollment uh you can see everybody's pretty much where we need to be PHS is where we do strive to try to reach more and that's with things that we're trying to incorporate and purchase and change our menu kind of adapt to the uh I know that I tried to get as much information online as to what districts are on a 3- we a two we a four we and then there's even other but progressors there with us I tried looking at local districts and then bigger districts so we are on a 3-we cycle which means our many but we do offer choices three choices at

021our High School uh two days a week three choices at R dtms and then choices for elementary and um we were trying to do it last year at the PEC we were just running into issues with time it's very timec consuming with this couple of our requirements for breakfast and lunch we do meet all the components all the grains for breakfast it's three components for lunch it's five so every day children have more than these options but this is the minimum requirement and here is just a chart that you'll see there in your packet as to our sodium limits our added sugar limits in 2627 we slowly have to face in they're going to be reducing the sodium limits reducing added sugar and increasing the whole grains throughout the menu so if you're seeing changes

022that may be taking away certain foods it's because we're having to adapt to them they are available online all menus are breakfast lunch are after school snack program our fresh fruit and vegetable program which is only offered to the elementaries those are all available can start incorporating them I know they have the on a month basis we can see if we can dou and include the menu with us well milk being expired the dates we get milk on a daily basis so I I don't know if they meant okay oh okay because we we check all the dates and the dates we don't accept them um we have a very they have to sign off on each single crate and we get milk on a daily basis so I do apologize that was overlooked but

023that's something I can dress with and make sure I dress it with an entirely different program entirely different menu and has a couple more restrictions at it that in 26 27 we're slowly going to have to phase in to reducing the added sugars and cereals uh the milk offerings and our biggest hurdle is going to be the sodium on breakfast and in lunch but you will be seeing those changes and some foods may have to be removed because of these changes but we have up until July 1st 2027 to to finalize then we did have a student food tasting which we started last year it worked really really nice we brought in a bunch of different foods that were available to us through our vendor and we just had all the kids from each campus

024I think it was about 15 to 20 kids from each campus come to the high school taste everything uh we had a list there and they could say the things they didn't like the things they did like and then on one activity it was create your own menu for the week so we took all that into consideration we looked over it these are the few items that were added to this year's menu that the students chose us uh hopefully already spoke about this from the board to move forward with the purchase uh these are combination ovens commercial state-ofthe-art these are what restaurants have a couple school districts St incl incorporate them larger ones we were able with the excess funds we had to use it to uh get this large purchase we're going to have

025one at each cafeteria and it's going to hopefully increase the food quality because I do know our ovens are commercial but at the same time we we performer we do have batch cooking cook right before each lunch period but this is going to this can smoke uh air fry it's a smokeless smoker so let's say we have a hamburger you can put it in a smoke function and it gets that Earth uh we it's just going to increase food quality the efficiency for the staff and the time it's going to reduce the cooking time as but we'll be able to get it out warmer faster Ander and this should be hopefully on site at the end of May training's going to go to the staff in June and then everything's going to be input on

026the back of the house which in the computer system because all it is is a button and it's going to cook itself the L all they're going to see is a hamburger patty I put in the time I put in how long it's going to cook everything so they can't change anything everything at every cus out the same same temperature uh same cook time same a lot of our foods from laat do come ready ready we do do a lot of scratch yeah but that's why we have the sodium limit we have grain limit I'm so everything we have is limited there's nothing that we can just say I just want to give everything is evaluated by not only then through laat and then through region one and whatever is allowed and improved that's what

027we purchase we don't just get to go out and purchase all the foods are looked at and each single item that we do deserve has uh a nutritional label and it has to so our scratch cooking our lasagna's homemade our anas are our breakfast tacos our um so our are uh we have let me look at my have our Frito pie all our meat is homemade um our rolls item um pretty much other than that it is it is purchased items um of of course the hamburger meat is purchased and it's more so done that way with the chicken and the meat just to avoid cross-contamination to avoid undercooking to avoid issues with children where they're um you we have a very strong hup but we do most districts do purchase and the scratch cooking

028is throughout the menu so we try to we have P Papas um you know we have sometimes we'll do a chicken T things of that sort so we try to incorporate them but at the end of the day the student and I will tell you this from firsthand the most popular items are your pizza and those are the things they ask and sometimes when we do Padia with papas it all stays in yes has a a meal modification for with the because as soon as I get a meal modification when you bring it from the doctor it goes to the nurse and then it goes to me oh no because it's supposed to you're supposed to anytime they have meal it goes to the nurse the doctor's obviously going to say this that that form

029is supposed to okay because then he has to have a specific menu because my special diets each child whom I have in the district has their own men so that's what I'm saying if I didn't get that prescription no because yes and I do apologize because as soon as we got that I was probably working with but the meal modifications are followed we have to follow it by law whatever the doctor says that's what we have to se and I have I have a menu on file and I work with the nurses for each student at each campus whether it's something as small as Latos or an anaphylactic allergy sometimes those we even remove the item completely from that campus just so there's no cross contamin so um if I'll follow with you after the

030meeting or we can go over uh any questions no no any questions thank you thank you very much ma'am we are starting a pre-registration this year we want to start early because obviously we're fighting with other school districts especially idea and West Loco uh and we're going to try to do the online for the first time April 8th uh we'll send you the invitation planning to have whoever wants to come in person we'll have it at the auditorium and speaking about the auditorium I'm going to finish with uh Mr Hernandez who's going to present to you the insurance settlement that we had at the auditorium and the expenditures uh out of that settlement Mr an in regards to the fin art insurance settlement and subcontractor report we received 620,000 but we were rewarded uh 620,000

035think it was a summary yes it was a good one yes okay um so the recommendation is to declare the listing items of surplus and proceed with the plan to dispose these items question so when you say it's a surplus and they've been stored over there like you have a process right where you check that it's no longer usable that no other campus can use it what's the process can you explain yes we do have a that Mr Armando Lopez basically they get reported to him either either broken or no longer functional any any technology is also reported to Mr Pina he reviewed it make sure it's not working um and from there they submit that work order and he transfer those those items to Warehouse yeah I have to give it to Mr Lopez

036he has his he has his deal going on if you ask for something he has serial numbers he has basically everything he has already and check yeah they stay there we do an auction yes they the board declares the items or Surplus because we cannot just throw it away of right yeah okay this time make a motion to approve the the clear property Surplus as presented by Mr hernandz motion by Mr gcia second D4 Auction Services are we using the same people yes sir part of the plan is to contract actionary company recommending alindo auctions provide the auction this time make a motion to approve the AC Services as presented by Mr Hernandez motion at this time out there to go bids for bus cameras yes sir we have some fums available through the title

0374 Um this can be used for well-rounded education safety and career uh polishing career however there's some requirements for these funds um it can be something that we already purchased or is required by the state so what we're recommending is to uh install bus cameras and so the authoriz the recommendation is to authorize to solicit bits for bus cameras good idea any questions for the bus camers all right I need a motion all right at this time make a motion to authorize to solicit bids for bus cameras ased by Mr hernandz motion by motion pass time we discussion an action to approve a fee Report with lawen Law Firm for legal representation related property damage claims hi hello everyone my name is and I'm here on behalf of the law law firm I'm sure to

038explain a little bit uh what is it that we do how can we assist you in the near future uh we do property claim process uh we have assisted many uh government entities in the past we've been pretty successful in bringing thousands uh to these government entities so we would love to assist you in any near future uh property claims that you may have I heard uh right now that guys spoke about something about insurance uh on our law firm uh we've been successful bringing not just the buildings but there's more than that there's actually um a structural uh things that you can claim against insurance company but now nowadays this spol racek is being pretty hard with uh government entities so they putting endorsements uh just not to claim that you have you guys

039have to be aware of that and we're pretty good on it we can uh check that and make sure that if we can claim it under any uh storm whe whether very related report uh we can do that and not just that any accident that can happen on on this field we can CL against that uh uh po race that you may guys have and um uh that's about it you guys who actually uh try to get us in the new field being pretty good at it getting that out of those risk so it's basically same same thing that char did back in 2021 2 oh they went to contractors oh this is the insurance this uh we got to the insurance pretty different but I heard something about that some like I they just

040claim one property I'm like there's more than that that you guys can claim and actually get this property get back to a prel loss condition a good standing position that is going to be better for the ISD of course for the students what experience do you have right now are you working with any school districts uh yes uh we have done a couple of them back then uh we have work with the Rio Rio granded San Antonio as well and uh a couple of um housing authorities and of course we represent about 56% of the hotel industry in Texas as well and um we have bring Millions here to the B as well I'm assuming there's no charge like for the assessment and things uh no of course I mean there's a contingency agreement that

041means that uh if we get any amount we charge a percentage out of it but to begin with everything we don't charge anything unless that's the way work so we don't have to pay a cent beginning unless you guys win that is correct and that's the best side of it uh you guys have no risk and that risk is on our side if we put x amount into any um work that we need to do and if we lost the case it's on our side not on you guys side so that's the best out of it that there's no risk for you at all part of that experience District that you're working on are you focusing on like a storm that hit the roof of a school and then you guys go or how does

042it work uh basically I mean it has to be under any policy any po risk policy we have to be under any uh weather related it has to be under any any other any storm or it has to be that something that happened just on the school like fire or somebody crash into the school something like that we can assess you on it we we'll make sure that you get paid what you guys are entitled and how far can you go how far back uh good question actually policy has been changing lately now they're giving us a hard time uh back then it was two years now he changed to one year and now it's giv up to six months back so it depends so I have to check the policy I to make sure

043how long we have to go back and um it all depends yeah basically the same thing that we just presented with the jollies they did the assessment for us but they went with the contractor not the insurance and we didn't pay and we still gain what 194,000 able to check for so it's a win-win situation I actually fought that one because they wanted to I remember too yeah so it's a win-win so what's your success rate whenever you have a what's your success rate like if you go up success rate well this is what I can tell you my success rate is that uh I will never sign I will never represent somebody if I'm gonna lose the case if I'm gonna represent you I'm gonna win the case I'm not gonna invest x amount

044of anything without me knowing that I'm gonna win the case if I know I'm gonna lose the case of course I'll let you right away there's no case on it right but if I see that is a possible case on it I will definitely get my whole team in board and represent you guys how many people do you have uh we have about 28 people more or less and on that we have I'm G to say one of the best engineers in the company uh that they help inage uh government building and it's a hotel uh that we uh represent so we've been pretty successful any other questions that you may have what on on this usually I know with the jolies when we did it it took a long time on the assessments and

045all that kind of deal how long do you think uh time wise yes we get an answer it's not something that's gonna happen from one day to another it's GNA take time insur company they're not on the business to pay out they're in the business to defend themselves and get the most out of it based on that uh it's going to take up to a year uh to get it back has to go to litigation re inspection getting Engineers on board they're gonna get the same thing of course we have to get better Engineers than what they have so so just to make sure that we're gonna win the case so it it takes time it's not something gonna happen but at the end of it uh the result of it the result of that

046is gonna be that you guys are what you guys are what would be the assessment if the board decides okay let's try it what next week you guys come andu the insurance what would be the well let me tell something um yeah we're in this industry so in a couple of days we're going to have some bad weather we're GNA have some strong weathers uh probably it's going to be on Thursday Friday and Saturday so let's say we have this hard thunderstorm and we have some wind damage hell damage on the property of course the S is going to be not just the structure that uh building but to see more than uh what the insurance companies can see let's I'm going to give an example see we have those windows there and we have

047some seals on it they will never check that I would check that why is that because now you're going to have broken seals AC is going to go out now you're going to have your light PS going to go up of course if that part of that uh storm damage I'm going to claim it on a on on my side to make sure that you get paid for whatever you entitled to it like said uh I heard that fenes fenes get damaged as well uh on my opinion uh they if they get damaged I will put it in my estimate and I'll will make sure that you get paid for that so for the school to have a better fence better building uh for the I hope you don't get offended it's question so we
