011to build capacity with our partnerships in the community. And I just want to tell you a little bit about what our Rotary Club does for Edelson. So since 1967 they have been providing academic scholarships for our students in Essosa. They assist in buying glasses for EI students. They provide school supplies to students in need. Provide uh uh Christmas gifts for kids who have special needs in our um in our district. They also provide snacks to students attending the state special ed Olympics. And they select a teacher from every campus to award a $100 gift card. They're always involved in doing some fundraising. Then the latest one that's coming up is going to be a 5K run. Please join us. And that money is going to go toward scholarships. So we just wanted to recognize our
012our partners in facilitating the need of our kids, the road. [Applause] [Music] I got her everywhere. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. right Ready? You want to say a few words? >> Yes. I want to thank the community for supporting us. As you can see, we are a pretty large group. We are 20. At the present moment, we're 26 members. Of the 26 members, more than 70% are very active, but we have contributed over all the years to the community assisting them. Uh we've been established since 1967. We are about to reach our 58th anniversary. So from those 58, I've been a member for 33 years and I've seen the growth in this in this community and in this club. So we just ask you that you continue your support and helping us in all our events
013because everything that we raise goes back to the children to the students. We have close relationship with the school district. We have given scholarships throughout the entire uh since the since since the club had been established and uh it wasn't too long ago that I calculated that we we've helped over 500 students from Telson by joining us at our 5K which will be on September the 20th or we're going to have a cheese and wine and cheese mixer at the house of Blossom. So that's going to be on the 11th of September. So you're all welcome. We all sell you tickets to sell you. Thank you. [Applause] Well, we we recently have money for a grant and uh from our district. Our district has already a a funds to continue that grant and it's only
014going to extend our ability to give more uh scholarships. Uh we're making it into an essay writing essay contest to the students which will be hopefully working with all the high schools and from every high school we'll be selecting several students for our scholarship. They're all $500 scholarship to help them with their college or post college and secondary. Hopefully that will become a success. [Applause] >> Thank you. Thanks guys. [Music] So, our last our last recognition um in our initiative to to recognize community partnerships is um our very own city of Elsa Chief of Police, Robert McGinness. Um the chief this summer um of the Dawn Times had a total of 86 students that participated in two separate uh sessions that included teen life skills programs for ages 14 to 18. Resume building teens engaged
015in in practical learning skills, finance skills, positive feedback from programs and presenters was incredible. and um he is working on curriculum improvements. Um Chief met with our counseling team and we're working on collaborating even further so that our counselors can work directly with the city of Elsa so that we can help more of our students. So thank you chief for um working with our district and our students and improving uh lives one day at a time. [Applause] Good to see you. Go ahead. Say a few words. No, I just want to thank the superintendent of the school district. This wouldn't have been possible without the school district. This was just a hand. We got some such uh we could not have done this. So, we're doing this with Z and we couldn't have done this
016without Thank you Jesus for [Applause] As we move forward, let's keep in mind that today was day one of the start of the 2025 2026 school year. I know all you guys are very tired, so we're just going to try to breeze right through this meeting. All right, we do one keep it to a >> Yes, sir. >> minimum, right? >> Of course. All right, first item on the agenda or is uh next item on the the agenda is transportation department. >> Oh, sorry. Is that right? Y superintendent report. >> Okay. Uh good evening everybody. Uh my name is Pedro Gonzalez. I'm uh consultant with the region one education service center. Uh I've been in the business of school transportation for the last 38 years. Recently retired in March 2024. Uh so my knowledge and
017everything that's going on with transportation is pretty pretty much intense. Okay. Uh I was actually called the end to come in to help out here at the transportation department here at your district you know because you know uh needing help for so far as state reporting need to be being taken care of and uh getting there within the two weeks right I you know I saw some things have been going on there right that actually needs to be hopefully addressed. Uh the first slide is here same so far as your TA funding efficient in uh efficient data collection right monthly bus counts uh state uh say states that at least two bus counts per type of year recommended at least six. So how many students are riding your your your uh your school buses. uh
018route discrimin also also need to be uh kept up in record also right you have your regular routes which your regular routes to pick up your regular students and of course you have your special needs also that you students that you pick up and of course your career technology CTE route service actually right now I think you have a couple buses going back and forth from your FFA and back and forth to high school so all that needs to be documented correctly and keep it in on file uh on the next slide here you also know I found out also that your your district map was was outdated since 2013. Uh having contacts with the individuals that I know, right? Okay. Because my years in transportation, right? Uh it's currently being updated. Uh your new
019subdivisions are popping up like you have one here off of Monte Cristo in the yellow jacket here. I believe you have one here behind uh the Walmart and some other areas. Uh you know, we keep that up, you know, put it in there, right? And of course once uh that's being put in place, right? Then you the the map can be also put up into your website if you all wish. Uh next one is your technology software. Notice that your none of your vehicles none of your vehicles neither of the school buses nor your wife have GPS on them at all. Okay. Uh this is something that it's really up to you all to do, but something I do strongly recommend is putting GPS on your school buses. Okay. So, you'll know where they're at
020at all times because you never know when they're out in the road, they might break down, whatever may be. Right. Okay. That's something at least your school buses is something that that you want to want to have. Uh GPS can provide live vehicle activities and start historical information such as the vehicle speeds, stops, location, durations. Uh on school bus, it it will it'll do everything mentioned above. bus also notice when the driver applies the park and brake when the bus is comes to a stop and when the driver actuate the red loading unloading lights. So basically what it is you know you know when the driver does his bus route in the mornings right or afternoon as soon as the driver stops put his park brake on it'll it'll trigger the uh a mechanism on
021you know in the GPS and also when it opens the door which that is good to know so that way if anything happens or things going okay you need you know where your buses are at and by the way this is also you know there's breadcrumbs with breadcrumbs has history that's placed there you know in the in the in the software Okay. Uh, next one, your field trip software. Uh, before I go any further, I just want to mention to all your transportation personnel you have there at your here, you know, which is Sonia and, uh, Javier and I give a lot of credit what they're doing. Uh, uh, there's they're so dedicated. You know, sometimes I see Sonia and the people there in the office, right, they're working there, right, when they receive these
022field trips. And recently that uh that I was been there for those two weeks and just just only two weeks right I've seen confusion going on supporting bus requests coming in double the request and I kind of get confused sometimes filterup software something also that you know again I'm suggesting that you all do get to streamline okay uh will enable the district to be to to be effectively efficient to manage field trip submissions assignments cost management and all district field trips and basically the way this works is that you Let's say we have a coach at at the at a the campus or a teacher going to what's on the field trip, right? Okay. So, level one, two, three and and four. Uh we have to have for invoicing uh and cost per per field
023trip and can do campus or department filter budgets. In other words, you could put your budget in say you give a budget to a campus that says $4,000, right? Okay. And of course, as soon as it goes in, right, it starts deducting and let the the campus know or department know, okay, you know what, you're already loaning funds. Okay. Uh, next one is your writing software. This is the main one. Okay. Your writing software already keeps record of all district school buses and routes and and various credentials. Uh, your daily mileage which is needed for your funding from the state. Uh, possible student ridership, route descriptions and route analyzing for efficiency and route planning. Route planning is something that for example you have a a new growth somewhere in the district, right? You'll they'll plan
024out what what's what's needed routes in in the future. Uh next one is uh detailed descriptions, right? Uh currently turnbyturn route description. This is something that I've really picked up here uh Dr. board members that right now you're having you're having two individuals actually go out there in a vehic one of your district vehicles go out there and do a term by term route description one of those those which I used to do back in my old days when I was first starting transportation takes about maybe about a couple hours depending on the route each you got 29 bus routes having this routing routing software right can help eliminate it where I'd say you probably get registration done maybe about 10 15 minutes with the GPS on the buses. Okay. So that the cost so
025far as you know labor and fuel and all that you could save money on that. Uh this is very costly because the district is is paying for two two uh for two people and using distribution fuel for about two hours per route. If >> if I can interrupt for a second just because I want clarification. What what exactly is a term by turn uh description. >> Okay, let me sure. Uh a term by term route description is something that the state requires for all school districts to do for the bus routes to get funding for uh I'm going to give an example. Let's say we have route number one, okay? And it's picking up say three schools. So what it does it leaves the park here that's actually done all that's actually what it is
026and that's actually what's being done right now Franklin >> and how often are turnby term descriptions needed? goals are done like right now schools are starting uh recommended to film say like midepptember at least get the purpose starting right and of course if there's any growth or the city uh do you cut down on the grocery is that uh that uh you know it has to be done I believe it all depends on your schools your district how many schools operation it is right I've seen switch up to 180 days I think the state report we did here was what? 177. >> 177. >> All right. So any whatever date changes if it's more than a week it had you had to do another route description. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> Any other questions?
027>> Okay. Thank you for your time. >> Mr. Mon, you had mentioned earlier that uh we currently do not have GPS on any of our buses. >> What would be the cost incurred for us to to get a GPS system? >> That will be something I think we need to discuss. I gave the information to Dr. Showa. Okay. Uh because there's different companies. >> Is that the biggest efficiency that you saw? >> Uh that and the field trips the field trip system, you know, uh the way the way it's, you know, it's being done. Uh it's confusing and sometimes you might send a bus out and then nobody shows you because of confusion. Right. >> And not cost effective. >> And not cost effect. Yes, sir. >> Thank you, Mr. Wilson. >> So, we we
028have an item already for your approval. Um we we we sought out different companies of course we worked in collaboration and I do want to thank Mr. Gonzalez and region one because they did facilitate uh the mandated report and then have continued to support us by doing an assessment of our um of our bus routes and the need that we have to basically get us into this century with how we track data. Another real good advantage about um having this uh software program is that we can actually track our students. So we can attract attendance right away uh as far as kids are not being picked up and that in turn can very quickly be given to the campuses and we don't run the risk of anybody that run that rides a bus that we
029don't know where to find them. It's right there in the GPS. >> Sure. >> Uh but it is in the packet um in the back item. >> Great. Uh just a just out of curiosity, are there any school districts using electric buses >> here in the valley that I know of? No. No. Uh me personally myself, not really recommended because so far as you know how long those buses last and then you need the infrastructure of getting your electrical grid, whatever it needs to be to charge it. Uh they're just barely coming out. Uh I know that Austin ISD had one, two, I believe. And you're talking back about 10 years ago. Okay. and they're still running. Okay. And so far they haven't any issues with them and but then again the cost they're they're
030pretty pricey. I can see that. Thank you. All right. >> Oh, sorry. Mr. Chairman and Dr. a truck. I mentioned maybe we look at the option of putting GPS's on all vehicles that are >> Yes, that that is one of the options that we placed in the agenda so that all vehicles that are used um in the district do have the GPS. >> Thank you, sir. >> Next item is child nutrition department. I hear this presentation is riveting. talking. >> Very excited about this wedding. >> We got a lot of questions. >> Hi there. Good evening, members of the board. Um, I just basically want to talk to you guys and let you know about the TDA programs that we're running in our district. We have the breakfast school lunch program. We have our national
031school lunch program. We do have our CACF at risk district uh wide for our after school for our Utrgv daycare and also for our CCPC program. We have our fresh fruit and vegetable program and our summer seamless program. Okay. Um along with these we are needing to address a couple of things which we need to make sure that we are next slide following some rules. So TDA allows us six blackout dates which those six dates are like Halloween, Easter, um Valentine's, all these days that we could give our kids anything that we like. Okay. >> Um >> cockies or anything's allowed. Okay. U those six days from there we have our fundraisers. Our fundraisers must follow all snack smart snack approved um rules that are done on campus. Okay. any food or drinks that are
032given to students by staff must follow the smart snack proof uh guidelines. Um, nobody could compete with our programs while we're having our lunch service, our dinner service, our breakfast service. Y'all cannot compete with our child nutrition program um in the cafeteria. >> What are the times um in the Well, it's actually from midnight till when we finish our supper program. I have a quick quick question because it says all fundraisers. Does this include Friday nights? Because I mean I get my my tacos and turkey. >> Really? That's what stuck out. >> So we have supper right now till 6:30. Uh we are going to look into adjusting that. As soon as we start school, we see how Ace is going. We see what time we feed our last kids. We'll go we'll be able
033to adjust it. But as of right now, our application says 6:30. So you all cannot sell till 7:00. Right. So, um, once we start school, we start seeing how the schedule goes. Let's say we feed all the kids by 5, 5:30, we could go ahead and reduce back the time, but we just need to see how it starts at the beginning of the school year. Okay. Any fundra items must be approved by us so we could see what you're selling. Um, we do have a list of the smart snack items, but I know you all want different things. So, we'll run it through the calculator and see if it's approved, but it will come to us first and then our business office. I did attach the smart snack calculator and just keep in mind that
034we are a peanut-free district district wide. Okay. Um last want to say thank you to the city of Elsa Parks and Regg, the city of Ed Couch, the pool, um St. Teresa Catholic Church, Megan Point, Casame Messa Athletic, the band, and the summer Ace. 2024 we served 54,000 meals >> in the summer. Wow. >> For 2025, we did 96,000 views. >> Nice. >> Any questions? We're good. Thank you, >> Mr. Torres. You don't have any questions? >> No, I'm just >> No, you're you're good. Everything you see any deficits in your cafeteria or anything like that that you feel we need to address? >> We stop. We're going to stop servicing them. We're going to start replacing them. >> Okay. Yes, we did have a lot of service repairs. So, we want we started last
035year. Last year, we replaced three. >> Okay. >> So, we're going to start replacing our >> our little mobile unit. I know we've had for a while. >> Uh, how is that holding up? >> You're talking about the truck or you're talking about the >> I'm talking about a little food truck. >> Food truck. We have the one the regular trainer and then we have the little >> Oh, they have too much already right now. >> Wow. >> Oh, yeah. I I didn't know we had so much uh >> So, we got a reverb, right? Is that what you want to talk about? >> No, I'm talking about the one that you use at your events, like the one that was there at this kind of needed that one. And also the refer the refer
036is >> can session stand >> are the co do the coaches know that they how how do they get their their smart list? Can they order by you? Can they >> they can always come to us and we can order for them and they get it at Costco with us or maybe they'll check this calculator and we gave everybody that link so they could go ahead and check themselves when they're out in the store buying >> but coaches know that they can order through you since it's cheaper. We had a meeting with >> Yeah, we had a meeting with all sponsors, anybody that sells anything or wants to sell anything and we emphasize the importance of compliance because we are federally funded and in we you have seven audits coming up and we can't afford
037obviously to lose our our nutrition uh program because it's so excellent. and so they're already aware. But again, uh we're monitoring what that's going to look like so that it does not the supper program so we don't lose the supper program because it's so g given our economically disadvantaged students, we don't want to stop doing that program, but at the same time, we want to be conscientious of how do we meet the community with the Friday night lights and um so we are looking at that, but everyone has already u been made aware of that and I want to thank Cynthia because she's been such a great supporter um and with cost-saving measures as far as instead ordering out. We're ordering and catering through um the cafeteria. Food's just as delicious even more so and
038um we're saving money. So, thank you for that. >> Doc, can I ask a question real quick before I don't know who to ask it to, but can we get that little trailer rewrapped? >> I mean, I don't know if it's okay. >> The money, you know what I'm saying? Are we going to roll? >> No, I just bail. But, you know, just that's for sure. But I'm just talking about a little rat. Yeah. So it could look aesthetically pleasing. >> Thank you. >> They decided to buy another one. I mean they use it often. >> Good afternoon is uh social media. >> Good afternoon. >> Good evening yourself sir. >> My fores exactly. So, you know, uh, coming into this meeting, I was like, man, we've got a lot of accounts, you know, and
039it was in a certain tone, but after seeing the check and thinking about the money, I'm thinking, man, we've got a lot we can actually use to go in there, right? So, here's our situation with our with our Facebook pages. We have 11 accounts at the district level that we actually control. We've got passwords, too. We we uh we access um the majority of these uh accounts, they're run by the principles or the department head um the school campuses and departments, but we also have 19 accounts that are extracurricular. And those accounts were created by coaches, by staff within departments. They're mostly extracurricular. And our situation with this is that we don't have access to these 19. >> And so this is what we're trying to we're trying to fix and we're trying to level
040up. So, what we're looking at is when you've got a non-compliant page, and when I say non-compliant, I basically mean myself, Mr. Vo, we don't have access to those pages. So, if something comes down and and they say, "Hey, we've got an issue with this page. Can we go in there and modify it?" At this point, for those 19, we can't. The 11 that that we run as a district, we can, but these 19. So, issues that can run into with non-compliance, some branded messaging inconsistency, um misinformation risk that we can go through there. And the example would be, you know, the check itself. You know, we're trying to put this out that, you know, we want people to like the page so we can go out and get those those uh that money that's
041out there. Security concerns. Um since we don't have the actual passwords to those extracurricular pages, um you know, that becomes an issue. You know, we do have staff that have access to it, but we need to have it at the district level as well. a lack of oversight. Uh meaning that at the district or there are 11 pages, we see that we can control that. But with those extracurricular accounts, um if a coach posts something on there, it is directly from the coach. We're not having an administrator look at it and say, "Hey, is this information correct?" Uh legal and compliance issues, making sure that the information that's being posted on there complies with all our policy procedures, our employee handbook, and of course, Furpa. We don't want to be placing um information out there
042that would violate any FUPA um rules. Last one is continuity problems. What happens if somebody moves? You know, that that's really the biggest issue there. So, if we have access to those pages, we can continue the process with those those uh with those uh uh pages that we don't have access to. So, what I'm proposing is that we do secure the 19 extra care accounts with district usernames and passwords. That's the easiest way of doing this. uh once we get access to it, put our username, put our password, they can continue using those pages, you know, like they have. It's just we need access to bottom line. >> Is somebody stopping you from getting that access? >> No, no, no. We had discussed it. They said, you know what? Let's take the board for or
043them to review it. And so that's what basically it is. We're we're presenting it to you >> because it's so many and and the the issue is FURPA really more than anything else. It's a FURPA issue insur because that's tied in again to federal monies. you get a complaint, you get an audit, it puts our our federal funds um at risk. So, um in looking at all of this, I just want to make sure everyone understands no one's accounts are going to be taken away. It's just to ensure that the technology department has the access in case there's anything that maybe is not in that is not inappropriate on our part. Somebody might post something inappropriate about a student. we have no control with those accounts. So, what we're we're looking to do with, you
044know, with the board recognizing and and supporting it is just getting those accounts so that if anything does happen, they can follow through and they can remove the content or block the content, just anything inappropriate and then making sure that whoever is posted that we have parental consent. >> And so, these accounts that we're talking about, these they are seasonal for the most part. It's like a a soccer uh Facebook page or a baseball page or a theater page. Um you know, it's those type of pages that aren't always constantly posting. It's just as their seasons come up, they post things on. So what we want to do is we want to make sure like we've got the fine arts director as an example that you know overlooks the band, the studentina, Maria theater or
045the athletics coordinator, you know, overlooking the football, soccer, basketball, tennis, and track. And that in a nutshell is what we would like to pursue. Joe, cyber security and and those accounts. I mean, people's accounts get hacked all the time. >> Absolutely. >> So, that that's scary possible liability for the district, >> right? What is >> in in situations like those, even if we do have accounts, we would have to contact Facebook and say, "Hey, look, this account's been hacked. It's been taken." It happens all the time. That happens all the time. These are free accounts. And so, let's say their their their computer has malware, some type of virus. it could happen. But ours is is just simply, you know, the day-to-day operations. Make sure that we're all speaking the same lingual. We're all, you
046know, putting out the same message. And uh if something goes wrong, superintendent calls me or calls Joe and say, "Hey, we need to take care of this." >> I wonder how many of these accounts are being run on district owned devices. I mean, that's just >> Yeah, you can. The accounts can pretty much be done on anything. You can be on a district one account. You can have a computer at home. It can be on a cell phone. It can be pretty much anywhere. >> And those are just Facebook accounts. What about Instagram? What about uh >> We can look at We can look at those as well. We don't have as many Instagram as we do have Facebook. >> You know, those are a lot. It's a lot. >> Mr. Mr. Chairman, I asked
047that maybe we can ask legal if legal can maybe review see if we can actually maybe I don't know create some type of document that tells people, hey, uh you're representing our school district and this has to be there has to be some rules that they need to follow. I mean, what stops John, Fedro, or Maria from starting another one tomorrow? >> Yes, exactly. you know, and all of a sudden here we are chasing these accounts every week. >> Admin are going to be >> Yeah. And and I think really the the only ones we have or we we have a right to to discuss it with our employees >> because I mean anybody from the outside just had a question. I mean we don't have a trademark on our you know and something that
048we have discussed in the past. >> We've discussed in the past I was saying we've discussed it in the past on copyright copyrighting something because there's just a lot of I mean >> but you're right. I guess it's a question for legal. I don't know. >> And be aware of that that anybody right now and I've seen some that say Ed Kachos nothing. >> It's an ex an ex studentent that really loves Ed Kachos and wants to call himself Edach. >> And I think maybe something that we can we should consider as far as brand consistency is maybe for every one of these pages to have maybe the same profile photo with a little spin. For example, the cheer uh the cheer one has a bee and it has a megaphone. you know, we can
049have the same for football, you know, the same image but with a football. So, you can have that consistency and I think also having maybe uh the link to the school district also for accountability purposes, maybe having the name of the person that runs the page on the page, >> you know, who they are, what their role is in the school district. >> So, this this is where we're at. We're just bringing it to you so that you're aware of it because you will get phone calls and like, hey, they're trying to do this. They're trying to take my username, my password. It is for our security. It's for consistency. It's for all these things that have this level. This is what we're trying to do. >> Have any of um has anybody cons? I'm
050new. So, nobody takes um the people running the accounts, nobody takes uh like a social media dos and don'ts course, a yearly course for those running the pages. >> Well, I think what happens and what's happened in the past and it's happening now is that they're just individuals that start a page. I mean, there's one eee jackets, you know, page. There's account Chelsea yellow jackets page. There's I mean it just and I don't we don't even know who's running them half the time. So to say that they even took a course. No, because we don't even know who's running them >> half the time. I mean there's some that you know who >> and I think if we're going to continue to entrust these individuals which we should um they need to take a course
051of some sort, you know, for accountability. >> So that's really what we need to do. We bring them all in. We we talk about furpa. We talk about what's in the employee handbook. There are statements in employment habit of what we can and cannot do with Facebook pages. Uh it's in our policy. So it's there and we also have a social media uh form that parents fill out whenever you know they register so that we can use their images online >> and I think it'll >> we do have lots in place. It's just like you said there's other people out there. >> When will this start? >> Well, we've got to as soon as you know tomorrow. >> Yeah. So so the next steps will be this. We'll contact every director, every administrator because we
052don't want to micromanage. But let's say for example, fine arts, you know, or or or or Rometo, coach Rometo. So let's say for example, he's got the football all the different sports. He will design, he will have a designate that'll be like, okay, you are the go-to, maybe the head coach, you're the go-to for the football, you're the go-to for the soccer, you're the go-to for the So if anything happens, we know who the go-to is. and then bring them in and discuss all the dos and the don'ts >> or who to blame if things go wrong. Is that the >> go who or who to praise when things go right? >> It's about the accountability and just making sure that again we're following the guidelines >> and these pages have a lot of following.
053So I mean I after seeing that presentation I really kind of like wow you know this is going to be good >> because we get to push it out. >> Yeah. The social media presence is very important for our district. We just want to make sure that we're managing it and and then we are we have the oversight and that no one ever gets any kind of ridicule or shamed, you know, of our students because we don't have the access to put a stop to that. >> Thank you, Joe. Yes, sir. >> Thank you. >> Next item is the CCC program. >> Well, good evening uh president, board members, uh superintendent, and members of the community. My name is Leroy Garcia and I'm the senior director for dropout prevention at region one. Um and on
054behalf of region 1 educational service center, I want to thank you for your commitment to the students of ed couch Elsa ISD and for your vision in partnering partnering with us through the house bill 1882 to establish the college and career center. This partnership represents more than just a program. It represents hope, opportunity, and transformation. By joining forces, we are ensure we are ensuring that every student has access to real tangible pathways that lead to college career and beyond. Most importantly, we are expanding this for students uh ages 18 to 26, giving them a second chance to finish strong and step directly into high demand fields. That second chance is not just an academic opportunity. It is a life it's life-changing for students and their families. Through our collaboration with South Texas College, the new
055HVAC, welding, and nursing pathways will soon take shape. These programs are designed to provide students with industry recognized certifications and hands-on training that prepare them for immediate employment in careers that are essential to the workforce uh needs in our region. Welding, HVAC, and nursing are not just courses. They are the gateways to independence, stability, and growth. By making these pathways accessible, this district is ensuring that students leave with more than a diploma. They leave with a future. The impact of these programs extends beyond the classrooms. These pathways give young adults the skills to support their families, contribute to the community, and meet critical workforce shortages that affect all of us. When a student leaves here as a certified welder, HVAC technician or nursing assistant, they are stepping directly into jobs that are in high demand
056today right here in our region. That is the kind of real world impact this board is making possible through its vision and leadership. It has also been a privilege to work alongside Miss Emlda Ramos here whose steady focus on student outcomes ensures that the college of career center remains student centered at every step. Her leadership reflects the dedication that makes this work meaningful. Region One is proud to stand shouldertosh shoulder with Ed Coucha ISD and building something that not that not only serves the community but also sets a model for the entire state of Texas. We often hear that partnerships are the key to success and this initiative proves it. When a district, an education service center, and a higher education partner come together with clear vision, the result is an are extraordinary opportunities for
057students who might otherwise be overlooked. This work is not about checking boxes or meeting requirements is about building pathways that give our students confident, confidence, direction, and hope for the future. and it is about showing our community that Ed Couch Elsa is leading the way in innovation, opportunity, and results. At this time, I would like to now pass it to Miss Ramos, who will present more details about the program and the progress being made. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Good evening, members of the board. Dr. Oawan. So, what makes our program different and really cool is it's not a GED program. So, we want to make sure that we're very clear about that. It's an actual full-blown high school diploma. And then on top of that, at the same time, the kids are able
058to simultaneously go ahead and work on the CT courses to finish these pathways. So, the three pathways that we have for this program at this time is our welding, our HVAC, and our CNA. So these are the course sequencing that the students will be enrolled in and then on top of that the students will also get support for to be college ready. So we have the kids who will be taking courses with TSI so that they can get uh properly ready for that exam. And then the kids will be taking the star EOC classes with their teachers those who still need to pass the star EOC for graduation. And then we do have a credit recovery lab which right now is Ingenuity um which after the board decides may change to Edenum and that will
059service the kids who are very behind in some of their credits because remember these are kids who for whatever reason in their life need a second opportunity because at the time that traditional high school uh just wasn't good for them at that time. So region one has been outstanding. Uh Leroy has been outstanding partner. I also have with me Manny Sanchez who is an expert with CTE courses and that's why I brought him here today in case you all had uh more specific questions on that. So they've been phenomenal, a phenomenal team. It's been a fantastic partnership. So I do want to thank region one. You've been amazing. You really have. Um and so what they did with one of our student orientations is they brought a team over to work with our team. So
060I've had Miss Lara, my lead counselor, and Miss Erica Tanguma also present at the orientations. And what we did was uh altogether we have the kids register already and do their FASA. So all the kids that came to our orientation left with a FASA ID and about 10 to 12 of those kids actually finished the whole process and got registered already for the CT courses. Okay. So this was an outstanding job by uh partnership like I said with my counselors and region one. They've also been instrumental in bringing professional development to our teachers, not only to give us best practices, but also they went really in depth with seal lessons for the teachers to help support these students who sometimes um have things like babies at home, they have jobs, so they're juggling juggling a
061lot. And so that was a real awesome training that they had. we all there work together and uh put pieces together of how to help the students uh socially and emotionally. And then I do want to highlight uh my team who's here today because they've been instrumental in the outreach recruitment. So team, if you could please stand. My CCC team, please stand. Don't be scared. Yes. And Herman's not punished. I know he's turned the corner, but he's not punished or anything. Um, but no, the team has been amazing. Uh, students who couldn't come in to do the application, we've gone to their homes, delivered applications, um, picked up applications. We've had numerous phone calls with the students. We have a group meeting that I went ahead and did for the students and my staff so
062that, you know, everything is tracked. But that's how we communicate. We developed a Facebook page, legal Facebook page with us, the school address and everything, okay? Everything's legit. I saw JJ looking at me with that sly eye. Everything's legit. Okay. Um, >> yes. Now, also we've gone to uh community events. So, I know we've gone to we went to San Carlos for that event. They had a a back to school bash also um in Lab Blanca. We went to Texas Best. I believe that's the store that just opened which we had a great turnout there giving out the information. Um, what I really want to do is I really want to also thank uh Virgil Gonzalez who had a great idea. Are you here, Virgil? Okay. Great idea. So, the mayor of Ed Couch was
063like, "Well, what if I can get a message on the water bills to all my families in Ed Couch, letting them know about your program." So, that was awesome. Once he said that, then I reached out to our great city manager, JJ, and asked him if he would allow us to do the same for the city of Elsa. And right away he goes, "Emalda, you got it. Talked to so and so and we got you." So he did. And then also Virgil reached out to Lavia for me. Um I don't know the person Lavia, so he was kind enough to reach out and they were on board. So everybody has been awesome in this partnership and everybody's been involved and um it's been amazing. I also want to recognize the executive director of the housing
064authority in Elsa. Wonderful man if you don't know him. Phenomenal, beautiful man. Okay. Yes. And so he also sent the flyers out to all the all the community there. Okay. >> His name is O L. Okay. Yes. No relation in the last name. I'm just kidding. But no, so he said it was real great. We posted a flyer there in the office and they've been real good about getting all that information out to all the residents there. So it's been honestly it's been a whole community effort. So we thank you for that. Okay. and you'll see all the pictures of all the hard work um that we've been doing and where everybody's been recruiting there. And then um of course the collaboration of course with Mayor Al Perez, the mayor of Elsa as well who's
065come on board. And so it's been a wonderful collaboration. And I do want to report that just today we we have 39 kids already enrolled, but just today already 25 showed up and the rest are coming tomorrow and our numbers are growing. Um, so thank you all to everyone because of everyone's vision here, especially Dr. AOA's support that we have come to these numbers and so we hope to keep growing the program and it's been amazing. Thank you for allowing me to sit here as a CCC director. Thank you. >> I think there's one person outside you didn't thank. I don't know. Thank just about everyone. >> Community for your efforts. We're going to have to open that door. >> Thank you. >> Um I do want to add one thing that uh through the
066support of region one we were able to secure transportation for the 18 to 26 and that is covered. So we will get reimbured for that transportation and for all of these students that attend we are getting increased ADA. So they they they they produce more ADA than um the other students. So thank you for the collaboration and thank you for all of your support. >> Thank you. >> And just for the record, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to recognize that Mrs. uh Tamvinho from the great school of Santiago Elementary is here. It's a great school. All the principles are here. >> I'm just surprised your board members didn't even mention their names. >> We're still Is it new year now? No, the new year just started. >> Next item is the A throughF accountability. >> I
067think it you guys are leaving. Dismissed. Dismissed. Everyone refreshments are now served. Yeah. Okay. >> All right. So, um, as part of our compliance, um, for for, uh, the state mandates, I'm going to present the overall rating for our schools. These, uh, ratings came out last week, and I'm proud to present to you all some significant gains. At Santiago Garcia, they went up two letter grades, putting us at a 13% Stay standing. Stay standing. >> Uh, at JFK Elementary, they went up a onelet grade with a 10%. That's right. Um, RCR Elementary went up two letter grade 17 with LBJ. I am proud to say that they were able to stay stable. >> I have to sit down. All right. >> What what is Carlo Than what it was last year? Um they went up
068one letter grade with a 6.2. David Ibara who is now through middle school but is David Ibara went up three levels. Um, our high school went up a onelet letter grade and our um, academy uh, did struggle a little bit, but they were still able to continue to keep um, a C. So, this is where we're at right now. We're working really hard with region one with our outstanding teachers, principles, and I just want to thank you for what I know is going to be an excellent year. >> Thank you. Thank you. Next item are the consent agenda items. A approval of board me uh meeting minutes. >> Move. >> Second. >> There's a motion and a second. All in favor sign by saying I. >> All against. Motion carries. And then next items on

What section is this? >> This is >> We're in B12, please. >> Approval to def defer streaming of all district events. >> Yes. >> What is your question? Uh what is the game plan as far as we're going to defer them and then how long is it going to take to present them to the public? >> Coach. >> Hello everyone. Hello board. Um the deferment of the game is really to um to allow more uh fans to come into their stadiums. This is one of our our goals. Um, and the deferment would be uh it's recommended. I spoke to one of the technicians and he recommends that if we go we can even either go
07030 minutes or right after the game and and that that would be it. It's still it would be a u the fans are still going to be able to catch the game, but it's just going to be a little bit delayed. So hopefully that would bring in more people to the state, more revenue to the district. >> Do we know what the delay will be right now? 30 minutes. It's recommended or right after the the game's over. >> So, whatever you decide would be uh ideal for for the district. >> I think if we go an hour, it would cost a little bit more. If we go next day, it would cost a little bit more because we would have to bring in people to work to to do that. But an hour. >> So,
071what's the recommendation? The recommendation. >> What is your recommendation, Cody? >> I think my recommendation would be >> 45 minutes right in a minute. No, >> 30 minutes I think would be great >> and that would keep and then if uh I mean we can always go back and change it, right? So if it doesn't that way people are uh I'm trying to meet people halfway. So it would be 30 minutes would be ideal for me. >> 30 minute wait. >> So what do we >> No, I mean uh >> Trusty Ba had a question. >> Oh, who >> was there anything else? >> Thank you, coach. >> Thank you. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. We're going to vote on all the items for B. >> You did use your motion for for all consent.

073board uh for potential grievance uh under DGBA and is it FNG >> FNG >> and FNG local. Uh if the board does approve that tonight, uh the initial grievances will be submitted to the board uh through the record and in writing, but it still allows for the board to request a hearing if it feels it needs more information. Uh districts across the real Grandandy Valley are starting to adopt uh those provisions kind of just for efficiency. Uh but the board redesigned uh >> okay I was just wondering what what it looked like before and what it's looking like now >> so that was no matter any type of that was submitted the board so sometimes action kind of immediately uh and if this is approved Okay.

Uh this change order number one was for the parking lot projects. in there. There are six items that that came up for cost on this project. Uh we did have a $10,000 contingency allowance that we anticipated some unknowns. Uh and those unknowns presented themselves with stuff that was underground as the peers for the for the lighting was was uh was being done. There were some uh unforeseen pressure highpress gas lines that uh once the uh utility contractor was called out and say, "Hey, help us locate these
078things. We don't want to break them." They said, "Hey, we they're pretty close. let's hand dig. So that that prompted a little bit more uh cost on that. That happened at several locations. Also for uh communication lines, uh it's very expensive to to uh to break a uh fiber optic line >> and we don't you don't want to break any fiber optic lines on there. So there was a lot more hand digging than the contractor had anticipated. Uh we also found water water water at a pretty high level that prompted us to uh increase uh a little bit more steel and foundation just to make sure these uh these poles were were going to be safely installed and so forth. >> Does this fall within the $10,000? >> Well, there was a total of 16,000
079for those six items. And so that the 10,000 was exhausted and the 6,000 now the change order is what the contractor >> $16,000 for extra manual labor. Well, well, that and not the only thing, the extra concrete and steel at the foundations that we had to put because we found the water table line. And there was another one proposal strength. We also increase the strength of the concrete cuz we thought we needed a there was a lot of water that we found. We have some pictures in there of some water. >> Are we completed? Is this a complete project? >> And this is a complete This is the last change order the contract has to ask. It says change order number one. I don't want number two, three, and four. That's right.
