Motion passes. We continue on to section 8, business operations and facilities, items C through D. Item 8 C, discussion to consider and take possible action on CSP 2607 for advertising and soliciting for district-wide parking lot striping project. Can I have a motion to approve item 8 C as presented? Oh, Mr. Money will present. Go ahead, >> Madame President, members of the board, superintendent of schools, Miss Gara. Uh we had discussed this with you all in one of the prior meetings. I know the plan was for us to take advantage of our of our summer break and
007uh when we had nobody at the campuses, but we were not able to find companies that were by board. the two companies here in the valley that started uh to get on the buy board list were not considered awarded vendors. So we were not able to to go with those two companies. So we did try we used those three weeks that we were off. Uh we reached out to companies in San Antonio, Houston, uh other other places around the state along with the valley. uh we were able to find one vendor but they were too busy so they were not able to knock out the 17 campuses until uh early December. So that's why uh we are coming to you and see if we can go out for bids uh for this project. >> Any
008questions? Do I have a motion? >> On that note, I'll move to pro to approve items she has presented. >> Second. Discussion. Real quickly, >> Mr. Lopez, out of curiosity, I know we want to stripe the the the roads and I think probably that's pretty important, but how many of these roads are in conditions to get striped? I know that some of them are pretty good, but I would imagine some are in bad shape. Do you think we need to fix those roads before we go out there and stripe them before? >> Okay. There's a two-part uh to this uh project. The first part is uh we will be sweeping uh we have a lot of issues with gravel. So the first part to the project will be sweeping picking up and disposing of the
009gravel then coming back and restriping uh every every uh line. >> What what's our project or how do we address potholes because there are a lot of potholes. Before we address potholes, we need to address uh our drainage situation at some of the campuses. So, we do have an engineer and we are looking at that already. We've we've done everything backwards in the past. We've fixed potholes, but we've never fixed the drainage problem. So, when we get rain, we go right back to how the problem was before fixing the pothole. So, we're going to address the drainage situation before we deal with the potholes. >> So, you're only asking permission to advertise, correct? >> Th This here is not potholes. This is just >> I'm just saying for the strike thing. You're asking permission to
010advertise. >> We're asking for permission to go out for bids. >> Okay. >> And Mr. Lopez, can you tell us how many years um has it been since we've done this type of work in our district? In talking to some of the maintenance employees, it's been over 20 years. >> So, it's pretty much needed. Okay. >> I I know that we had talked to uh our principles earlier in the year about, you know, uh striping and and and and uh doing some uh uh nice work there at your campuses. Uh, I'm sure that y'all know that Mar's been on it and he was on it throughout the summer and wasn't been able to get any company to do it, but I guarantee you that I'm going to be on him and and he'll get it
011done for you guys. Uh, that beautifification project is going to happen. Uh, once we get those bids in, once those bids get in, uh, you all will have that beautifification project happening at your campuses. >> Mr. M, I got a question. I know striping striping companies are really expensive. Uh, it's very costly to stripe a street or road. What what are you looking at striping? Is it parking lots, roads, streets, curbs, handicaps, or >> all of the above at the campuses? >> Would it be uh have you guys have had any cost estimate of how much it would cost the district to get that done in house and buy the machines? I know that there's machines for like5 to $10,000 depending on what you're looking for. >> Yeah, we did uh look at different options,
012but since we don't have any type of equipment, uh we went this route. The price was very reasonable. I I won't I don't want to say the price out in public if we're going out to bids, but the one company from San Antonio that did uh give a price, it it was very reasonable for 17 campuses. >> Could we get a cost estimate if we were do to do it inhouse, how much it would cost uh before we would do it? I >> I don't I don't have the equipment and I don't have the manpower. that we can find and uh kind of price it, you know, and find out where, you know, how much it costs and gets on that. >> Mr. No, I asked him the same thing. I asked Miss Garca, let's
013try to do it. We'd give our our own personnel some overtime during the summer and we could, you know, do it, you know, on our own and it'd be more costefficient. But I know that I think the answer they gave me was that we didn't have that machine that was used to clean up the is that what you all told me the clean up the roads and then the to do the stripes as well. I think we don't have that machine >> again. What we're shooting for is to try and get this project done. And again, until we come out with the specs here for the bids, I'm going to say something. I mean, don't don't, you know, hold me to it, but we're looking at start to finish 6 to 8 weeks. And and
014I'm being generous. We want it sooner than that, but I'm going to say 6 to 8 weeks. that company from San Antonio was giving me months, you know, 3 to four months. So, for us to get it done within 6 to 8 weeks, you're talking multiple sweepers, uh multiple crews that are doing uh these striping jobs. the vendors that I talked to here uh different ones from the valley again unfort unfortunately they were not uh a awarded vendors and by board but they were going to have multiple crews where they started at one area of the district another crew at another area and knock it out within what we're looking for in terms of our timeline. But right now as as we stand as a district, we don't have the personnel and we don't have
015the machinery to do it and probably they would have to be working at night because obviously during the day there's traffic. Uh so it would be very inconvenient for the for the district to take part in it. I imagine uh at the same time the overtime pay uh would would be wouldn't be cost effective and also I think that if a company comes in and does it at one time and get it done quickly as quickly as possible which is a good route to take. >> Mr. everything that you said is correct and I would also like to add that even if we did have the crews or the manpower we have so many issues at our campuses and the buildings here at the fort that also that we also need to take care of.
016So I think it's a very good idea to bring somebody from the outside to ensure that we take care of that pro not that problem but that um that item that we're able to do that in a timely manner so we can take care of all those other buildings that really need some care. I I just think that uh if we're trying to save money to look into all the factors and if that's what it is at the end that is what it is but I don't think that's been looked at. So that's just my opinion of it and the board can do whatever they want to at this point. >> Okay. Thank you Mr. Castile. Thank you Mr. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All those in favor raise your right hand. And all those
017opposed same sign. Motion passes. Item D A D consider and take possible action on the contract delivery method for districtwide intercom system. >> Madame President, um administration is recommending that we go out on an RFP and we seek your approval for this proposal. >> Madame Superintendent, let me just ask uh on this item, we don't have anybody on by boards that does this type of work that we could get three quotes to get it sooner out of curiosity. I think did I ask you that question Mrs. Robles for the intercom system if we had anyone on by board to be able to do that? >> Good evening. Um Mrs. Garza, I was not involved in the discussion with uh Mr. Elisondo. I don't know if he's here. >> Thank you, ma'am. Good evening, Madame President,
018members of the board. Miss Garca, I do believe that we have a couple of companies that are by board uh that we could see RFP's uh proposals. We have companies that have done networking equipment for us that they also do uh that type of installation projects. >> So, if they have byboards, like they were saying a little while ago, they check them out. They make sure they do well, they do a good job. So, how come we just can't get three quotes from the byboards and get the best quote if if the byboards, correct me wrong, they they they check everybody out before they approve on the byboard. So, they do good jobs, I would imagine. Correct. >> Correct. >> So, my my thing is why go through the process if you can just get
019three quotes and get would that be faster? Let me ask. >> I wouldn't know if it would be faster, but it's usually a process that we go out on RFP and trying to get any possible vendor uh to be able to bid out. Mr. Lopez >> and uh this is one of my departments also that that is under me and I've talked to Sam about this. Uh right now uh in in regards to intercoms uh the first thing that we are looking at is we're looking at a needs assessment. So I am trying to reach out to companies to come and do a free needs assessment. again uh no compromise, no you know that we're going to go with that company. So right now I think our starting point with this is that we want
020to go uh the route of a needs assessment and see what campuses are we good with, what campuses do we need an upgrade, what campuses do we need a replacement. So right now that's going to be our starting point. Uh then from there uh we'll look at the by board. We'll see uh references and uh and take it from there. >> Couldn't you get a a an assessment by those go to talk to those by boards and maybe they're willing to volunteer an assessment and not only an assessment an assessment and a price and that way you can more or less they're already they're already vetted. May maybe >> they won't give us a price, but they there are companies that are willing to do a free assessment and that's where we're at at this
021point. >> And members of the board, uh we do request that we go out for an RFP because it does take time by the time we bring it out to the board, by the time we put it out there. And if that is the case though, you do vote tonight that we go for an RFP, that is the case and there is someone on by board that we have the chance to be able to uh, you know, could communicate with and they're able to do that in a timely manner, then we'll definitely go with with the byboard, but we'll let you know, but we are requesting that we're able to go out for an RFP so that we do not prolong this. >> All right. At this time, could I have a motion to approve
022item 8 as presented? Thank you. >> And can I have a second? Second, >> Miss Py and all those in favor, raise your right hand. >> All those opposed, same sign. >> Abstainment. >> One abstension. Motion passes. We continue to section 8, curriculum and instruction action items E through X, item 8E, consider and take possible action on agile mind professional development services SY2 uh 2025 2026. >> Um good evening once again.

And this is to um support them with their implementation of uh the curriculum. All right. At this time, can I have a motion to approve item 8 as presented? >> So move. >> Second. Any discussion, questions? All those in favor,
023raise your right hand. Motion passes. Item 8F, consider and take possible action on PD for K5 reading and math teachers July through August. So, I'm seeking uh permission to have professional um learning services that were taking that are taking place at at this time uh for our kinder through fifth grade.

We're also going into a partnership with Avance which is going to require prek3 teachers to be there and so we need these materials to be able to train them and to make sure that every teacher has the proper curriculum set. You know uh there was also an um an addition to the Frog Street curriculum and so we want our teachers to have that curriculum as well. that addition is reading books, you know, so they can uh facilitate that with the students.

On this item u madam president house bill uh three requires that uh any new teacher that is going into kinder to third grade go through the readingmies. This is a requirement. They have to go through region one. Uh right now it's an estimate because uh principles are filling out vacancies. So right now I have about eight teachers that are going to be new into those grade levels, kinder through uh third grade. The number might go up. So that's why you have an estimate uh based on what we did last year which was about 20 teachers and last year we had 17. So it might be less like I said, but right now

And when I went out there, I we stumbled upon if not one classroom, two classrooms filled with obsolete material, material that we do not use. Uh we cannot store that material in those classrooms because they are needed. So I'm asking for your approval to um dispose of these materials. >> Very good. >> How old do you think that material is out of curiosity? Is it 5 years, 10 years, 15 years? I did not nec look at the exact years, but I did ask Miss Ayala who's in charge of all the textbooks and uh the materials that we have out there. Miss Yala, would you say how many years would
