003um we have several speakers tonight um first off we have fa Fabiola Escalon scon you will have two minutes we won't interrupt you there is a timer up on the screen and the time will start when you start speaking good evening today we Face troubling legislative proposals that threaten the very Foundation of our Public Schools one bill seeks to mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms another propos is replacing trained school counselors with untrained unsupervised religious chaplains additionally there is a bill aimed at Banning books particularly those authored by people of color and those featuring lgbtq characters book bands are a form of censorship this past January at Texas book band law was ruled unconstitutional by a conservative judge because it violated the First Amendment history has shown us the dangers of
004censorship and the suppression of ideas authoritarians have sought to limit the power of books their goal is to control knowledge and silence descent when a small group of people such as a Remnant Alliance or moms for Liberty dictates what books other people's children are allowed to read it infringes upon personal freedoms and the rights of other families every child deserves a chance to see themselves reflected in the books they read and to explore a wide range of experiences and viewpoints by the way most children today have cell phones with access to Limitless content yet there are no calls to censor the use in schools we must stand against these book Banning proposals our schools should not be platforms for the imposition of Naro ideologies from Christian nationalists by protecting the freedom to read we ensure
005that future Generations have the tools they need to think critically and engage with the world I will close with a quote from representative James Tor Rico there is nothing Christian about Christian nationalism it is a worship of power Social Power economic power and political power it is a the Christian national movement is a subversion of our democracy thank you thank you Mr scan uh next up we have Anna Sylvia Chow hello board members my name is Ania chow and I'm one of your students at one of the MC I high schools I myself am a reader and I've been reading since I was in elementary school about this proposal toand over 600 different books in our school library it's it's an moral action the reason that your students are reading these books is not because
006they are they are trying to become awful evil or immoral as the email that originally proposed that these books would turn your students into the reason that students read these books is the same reason that the Mallen Public Library runs out of pamphlets on sexual and reproductive health and mental health different types of mental health your students don't feel safe going to adults in their lives to learn about these kinds of things instead what they turn to is books and as I hope that everyone knows in this room books are knowledge and knowledge is a resource you are not taking away a students um you're not taking away a students you are taking away a student's right to resources and knowledge instead of having a safe space where they feel comfortable to learn about things
007that they cannot learn about at home or at schools they now feel that everything that they learn is immoral in one of the books proposed to be banned speak by Lori Anderson there is no sexual content that is not about this girl sexual assault it the author's real experience and while you are trying to ban books I can name about 10 students that are going through a very similar experience instead of being able to go to adults that they feel safe with they could turn to a book instead of feeling shame but instead of being able to do this all these books will now be banned in their school libraries I hope that you please reconsider that your actions have consequences on your students it does not just affect who they are mentally but their
008physical well-being thank [Applause] you next we have Adrian Vias Adrian Viagas is he in the hallway or anything where where the seats I can come back to Mr Viagas while you look for him next up [Music] Rodriguez hello I am a student at row high school I'm here to speak on the proposed list of 676 books to be removed from theen ISD libraries this was demanded by representatives of citizens defending Freedom a Christian nationalist organization founded in Florida and the remnant Alliance an organization from Oklahoma whose mission it is to lead America back to God's moral values listening to them goes against the values this country has had for hundreds of years that there should be a separation between church and education this is especially so in a school district with no religious affiliation and
009students from all walks of life including Muslim Jewish Buddhist and a large number of Catholic students like myself when we look at the list of books we see that most books contain ratings on a scale of 0 to 5 bookl looks. org's rate those it says on their website that they are a group as they call themselves concerned parents not teachers not Librarians and not people with any kind of education and literature their purpose is to help parents make informed decisions about what their kids read not for conservative groups from Florida and Oklahoma to restrict access to literature for thousands of students from any given School District in Texas book looks in the frequently asked questions section of their website admits that the rating system is very similar to the Miller test developed to determine
010whether or not a work can be deemed legally obscene the test is from in 1973 the time before either of my parents was born another thing that stands out glaringly is the inconsistency with which book book looks at ranks as books in the proposed list it is stated that books rated two to five should be targeted for remov from middle schools and those with ratings of 3 to five from high schools If This Were to be implemented Flowers in the Attic rated a two a book that contains among others things a sexually explicit rape scene incest poisoning of a child by their mother and other graphic scenes would be allowed in high high schools to all the boys I've Loved Before a young adult novel where the most explicit activity is kissing would not be
011as it is rated a three The Kite Runner a book that I and other classmates have read for English class also wouldn't be allowed as it was rated a four even though I would argue that it presents its themes in a much more digestible manner than Flowers in the Attic does a scary scary we're we're at time we're going to have to strictly keep time okay thank you thank you [Applause] um Eric Hogan didn't I come in just really want to make sure okay number six is Inc coming Ling Ling who she's not and then Ann Roland it starts with the Banning of books and it ends with the death of ideas it ends with libraries filled not with books but with empty shelves the American way the Constitutional way is not to ban books
012but to buy more books with different viewpoints and to add them not scrub the shelves of every book that doesn't fit a particular person's political or religious views censorship ship is censorship period and the Supreme Court has repeatedly cited against book Banning knowledge is our most important resource why would we keep that from our children do you know that onethird of all book Banning happens in Texas we are killing education in Texas we are killing the future of Texas this country was born out of an idea an idea that was then put on paper an idea that at its core is is about Freedom the Banning of books today because of curse words sexual content sexual orientation gender issues race politics history or any other topic goes against the ideals of America by not teaching
013diverse perspectives or educating our youth about all walks of life we are crippling our future the Banning of books and I brought Sandra sel's House on Mango Street because it is on the list the Banning of books and information paves a dangerous road towards theocracy so I'm speaking up not only to protect our country and our Democratic Values but also to protect the children and education itself thank you for your time thank you [Applause] Mr Natalie Vidal the groups demanding 676 books be removed from our shelves use a logical fallacy known as a hasty generalization to support their demand that these books be removed simply because they disagree with the ideas and content found within them removing books for this reason directly violates Library Patron's First Amendment rights which four days ago the fifth Circuit
014Court of Appeals upheld in the case of Lea green little versano County I have provided copies of the case for your review these groups desire to undermine our constitution by systematically threatening and intimidating school districts with litigation to satisfy their agendas the hypocrisy of imposing their beliefs regarding what students should or should not be allowed to read while simultaneously demanding that parents maintain the right to choose what their child reads should not be lost on any of us the contradiction in this logic should be highlighted as they attempt to restrict access to literature based solely on their personal beliefs make no mistake it's not about protecting children nor is it about the books what they seek is the establishment of a theocracy every book on the proposed list has an inalienable right to stay in
015our shelves because removing them directly violates our first amendment rights on June 7th the F the fifth Circuit Court of Appeal upheld settled law on this issue and confirmed that school boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books as a mother of two and an English teacher within the district I'm not scared of my children reading what I fear are disingenuous groups such as the hypocritically named citizens defending Freedom Who hide behind false pretens I fear people who admittedly take only 10 to 15 minutes to decide whether or not a book has value and then demand others not read it I fear people who think their beliefs should circumvent the United States Constitution in closing acquiescing to this book removal in any capacity will
016violate our first amendment rights I request the board replace the books that have been removed from our shelves prematurely including the graphic novel Mouse by Art spiegelman and take no further action that intentionally or otherwise violates settled law please look beyond the smoke and mirrors and shield us from those seeking to undermine our democracy thank you very much Blanca Gomez h in I gracias [Applause] Stacy Solis good evening uh I'm a Matt gallon resident of 32 years I'm a parent of a Mallen ISD student and an educator of teenagers for for 37 years I have been in education for 37 years um for the past few years I had been very relieved that all the book Banning Fiasco that was happening in the rest of Texas had not yet come to the Rio Grand Valley
017sadly that is no longer the case as you all know the list that they've all been talking about is what I'm here to to argue against there are numerous reasons cited by those attempting to ban books and I won't try to address the Myriad of reasons unless you want to grant me an hour they will use hysterical language um citing pornographic language or imagery or warn that our children are being indoctrinated through books they will take a few sentences or words from a 300 page book to try to make their point many high school students feel isolated and alone you heard from two of your Mallen high school students brave brave kids speaking many students including lgbtqa plus students are able to see themselves in books students who have been raped are able to see
018themselves in books students who have been victims of domestic abuse are able to see themselves in the books that are trying to be banned now as an apparent I would hope to say that well they don't need to read the books they can jump going off script they can just come to meet as a parent or they can go to their teacher we know teenagers if you've worked with teenagers you understand them it is not easy for them to go so they can see themselves in books typically those who want to see books want a very narrow view of Life they will site caring for our children but I want to assure you that this book Banning desire in the Rio Grand Valley is grandstanding it is actually an assault on public education it is
019not about book Banning most of the books aren't even being checked out of the macallum high school library it provides drama and theatrics to help plant seeds of doubt in public education that you all know is the target it is a frenzy these groups have also promoted vouchers and are also creating private schools to pull your kids thank you [Applause] m Juan Lopez good evening Madame President members of the the Board of Trustees and his distinguished Dr guz thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today I'm here to express my deep concern regarding the proposal to eliminate a planning period for our teachers firstly losing a planning period is a direct path to teacher burnout teachers already manage extensive responsibilities during their day without adequate planning time they will inevitably need to take
020more work home this added workload not only increases stress but also encroaches on personal and family time our teach teach many of whom have young children to to take care of will be forced to sacrifice Precious Moments with their families creating a work life imbalance that is neither sustainable nor fair furthermore this proposal will create a miserable work environment for our teachers the morale of our Educators is crucial for the overall success of our schools Happy Teachers Foster happy students if our teachers are overwhelmed and unhappy it will negatively impact the learning environment and student performances additionally this change creates an unfair Vision among our staff only 43% of our teachers will be required to teach seven periods while the rest particularly those focused on start testing will continue with six periods this disparity breeds
021resentment and division among colleagues undermining the collaborative Spirit essential for a thriving educational Community the primary justification for this proposal is to save money for the district however when we scrutinize the numbers they do not add up to the savings being showcased it's crucial to reevaluate their this approach as the cost to our teachers wellbeing and the potential to over far OD ways any Financial benefit moreover teachers losing their planning period will have less time for crucial activities such as collaborating with peers meeting with Administration conducting Arts grading papers and communicating with parents these tasks are essential for maintaining High educational standards and supporting Student Success it's imperative that we consider the broader implication of this proposal maintaining a positive teacher morale is essential to avoid High turnover rates which are costly and disruptive our
022teachers need to need adequate planning time to perform thank you for your your attention and consideration thank you lope niia Canales good afternoon uh I'm here in in behalf of the PTO from sigin elementary I'm the president of the PTO there and uh the parents there were very concerned about getting the interventions out because a lot of the parents do not speak English and they will not be able to help their child at home when these teachers were were there they were helping their kids including my grandson he was there and he was he they were able to get him up in the reading so I believe that they should have stayed there and you took who you should be taking out is all those jobs that you have in central office that some of
023us don't even know what they do some of these ladies um pardon the expression but what we call them parents we we call them the high heel shoe jobs that's what we call them I'm sorry but that's the way it is and another thing H at at at the elementary at sigin elementary we I went to the cafeteria the cafeteria the ceiling the ceiling is peeling a lot of that paint can fall on some of the food that our students eat and I already got in touch with Mr trino nothing was done some of the lights are literally Dr Gutierrez you should go check it out literally they're being held up with black electrical tape how long will that last what do those lights want on one of the of the of the workers or
024on one of our kids are you ready to pay for a lawsuit for one of our kids getting uh getting hurt and they and I called Dro he said he was going to I mean Mr T he said he was going to do something hasn't done anything yet and another thing the walls need painting they told them there was no money for paint and the walls are all warped because I almost tripped and fell there's no money for that either so where is the money going there's money for curriculum writing right so how come there's no money to fix you should go Dr Gutierrez go over there and and see the the the cafeteria the there I'm concerned about that my child my grandson goes there so I'm just expressing their concerns thank you very
025much thank you mes syia tanguma good evening president paa members of the board and Dr Gutierrez I am speaking on behalf of one of my members that was unable to make it so he would like you to know once again um he would like to address a deeply concerning proposal to remove a planning period from over 40% of our middle and high school teachers this move would force these teachers to teach an additional class seven out of eight periods in high schools each day without any compensation significantly increasing their work workload and diminishing their ability to effectively serve our students in comparison districts such as psjaisd and others in the region provide their teachers with a with both a planning and a conference period each day recognizing the importance of these periods for maintaining high
026quality instruction furthermore none of the districts specified in the presentation required teachers to teach more than six period today at the high school level by adding a seventh class at our high schools M and ISD would stand alone in imposing such an honorous schedule on its teachers this proposal from Mis the executive team being considered by the school board will result in each affected teacher taking on at least 25 additional students leading to an increased grading burden and a substantial reduction in the time available within the district's contract hours to complete all necessary tasks this is not only unfair but unsustainable teachers need adequate planning time to prepare lessons create assignments and engage with students and parents effectively on top of that the original proposal that was made in February of this year included a
027SL slide with a 45-minute lunch for high school teachers a much more recent slide from the May 29th board meeting had a revised slide that showed a reduced amount of lunch time down to 40 minutes this again shows how MISD is not taking its teachers well-being and mental health into consideration overburning them overburdening them their schedules with the planning period taken away and extra class added more grading to accomplish more planning to accomplish more mandatory trainings like 504 Ard sped to attend and less time to do so in a regular workday thank you very much Chris Aris good evening when I moved to macallen in 1983 straight out of college to work in Mallen ISD I learned many people considered teachers who worked in MISD lucky because the district had a strong reputation for valuing
028employees and team wasn't just for the athletic fields and courts we are well aware of the financial burden that has been placed on districts due to competition for students and no increase in state funding since 2019 despite inflation obviously both of those issues make balancing a budget increasingly complex however it does not change two important aspects of budgeting having complete and accurate information is critical when making decisions and positive staff morale must be considered in the equation following the last budget meeting I filed open records requests with districts in our region to ensure the information regarding student and staff schedules was current and accurate the response to those records clearly indicate that teachers teaching seven periods is far from the norm there are other things to consider before making a decision that will greatly impact
029the morale of secondary teachers in the district teachers who have remained loyal to MISD despite the district falling so far behind in salaries this impact will be in intensely felt when the work and planning schedules for two groups of teachers are completely different ask secondary teachers for a more comprehensive list of what they do during their conference and planning periods as the lists provided on recent Workshop slides are are missing critical tasks during the conference period attendance verification reports running off papers calling parents contacting counselors and nurses we're not included da da da I'm going to send this to you because two minutes isn't long enough I want to end with something I read last night and found perfect employee morale is the heartbeat of a successful organization cultivated with care and the entire team
030moves moves forward together thank you you [Applause] Laurel mcle good evening Madame President and members of the macallen school board my name is Laurel macleash and I am a resident of macallen and a member of the macallen library board some back background my mom taught English at Sher land high school for 42 years and when she retired the school board named the library that they were building after her also for many years a parent in the district tried to get her fired because of her reading list so my interest in Banning books goes back many many years and not Banning books Banning books is censorship students need to see themselves in the books that are in a library I recommend that you set up a committee of school staff including Librarians students parents and members
031of the community to review any book that is being requested to be removed when someone requests a book to be banned that person must provide a book report specify the reasons to remove the book and appear in front of the committee to discuss the reason for the Banning of that book I volunteer to be on such a committee and I know quite a few people in this room would also step up to the plate thank you for your time thank you m Jason marera good evening I hope we can all agree that the only reason to consider adding a seventh class is cost savings the numbers behind it and I think that's the exact thing that needs to be unpacked a little bit more the estimation of cost savings for adding an extra class for
032many or most teachers is certainly incorrect the on line formula used to create a figure of $2.9 million is simply being accepted without any evaluation and comprehensive vetting among many questionable factors the number of features used in the equation is inaccurate I welcome the opportunity to show you the questionable details in this formula because it is at best accidentally misleading and worse irresponsibly deceptive for example the number of teachers used uh in the slides provided at the last budget Workshop have a total of 197 teachers at mackai however in the exact same uh slideshow tasby used uh available teachers of 3 13 8.8 uh upon other investigation with the Master's schedule and uh staff directory online uh the number of teachers at maai appears to be 157 in addition to that which automatically reduces your
033cost savings uh by almost 50% uh the formula is essentially this you have a if you had 100 teachers teaching six classes that's 600 classes you divide the 600 by seven classes you now have 86 teachers but the formula is predicated on the exact same number of classes being divided among existing teachers however content specific teachers Like Music Theater dance Roc ASL French they can't pick up previously existing classes the only way for them to teach a seventh class is to create a seventh class if you increase the number of classes then you completely negate their their part in that cost savings the number divided by seven is increasing and I believe that this savings is somewhere around 36% of what is being estimated and I think we should re review it before we make
034such a detrimental Choice thank you Mr and I believe our last speaker is Frank Chavo we do need to go back to this good afternoon everybody uh good afternoon mam president school board members Dr Gutierrez and others in attendant today today I would like to provide a year review for maai mariachi o throughout the year the directors have continued to face many challenges on their journey to stay competitive with somebody groups in the state and provide the best music education experience for our students they have faced adversity with inadequate practice facilities with ACS that leak and cause instruments to get wet and damaged practice in a building that has a history of mold uh have had to lean on the community support to fund certain activities in spite of these adversities Moto continued to have

053same sign motion passes 60 10 C2 discussion and possible action to update board policy be local board meetings um Dr terce yes uh on May 30th 2024 a request was received to make a change to policy be local board president miss Sophia Peña has requested for regular meetings to be held on the 2 and fourth Tuesdays of each month instead of Mondays uh Dr Canalis will have any more information as requested we are recommending action on this item I do want to add that this would be helpful for the administration to if meetings could be held on Tuesday because it gives us Monday and then part of Tuesday to answer any questions the board the board may have prior to the meeting so the reason I requested the item to be placed was exactly that
054um I do believe that uh Mondays are hectic we get the uh final agenda packet on Fridays and if we have any questions or anything that we need uh staff really has to rush on Mondays to get it prepared and so this would give everybody uh ample opportunity to be prepared for A Tuesday meeting and so is there any other discussion or does anybody have any questions Madam president I did want to ask a question to see if it would work out for uh the community uh to be able to attend maybe 5:30 I know there's a lot of community members out there that want to attend we have a lot here today thank you all for being here uh so I don't know if if that's something that we can do 5:30 or if
055that is is a inconvenience to everyone here I've brought this up in the past as well um I believe that 5:00 pm for the community means if you want to be here in person to participate maybe public comments or even just to sit in and watch um you have to take time off to get here by 5 5:00 you get off work you come straight here you're more apt to be able to attend in person and participate so this is really uh intended for the community to be able to access our meetings and person um with enough time so that they don't disrupt their workday and I appreciate that suggestion TR any discussion does this okay so um this is an action item so I would need a motion Madame President I move that the
056Board of Trustees amend policy be local to provide for regular board meetings to be held on the 2D and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 5 30 second we have a motion by trusty Regal and a second by Trustin Rivera um all those in favor signify by saying I I I all those opposed same sign motion passes 60 so we'll be meeting on Tuesdays now at 5:30 uh item 10d business and operations items item 10 D1 report regarding intent to apply for the 2024 2025 safety and Facilities enhancement safe Grant cycle 2 Dr guz yes the 20 uh the 2024 2025 safety and Facilities enhancement uh safe Grant cycle two is a funding opportunity that will assist our U districts learning education agencies in meeting to the adopted school safety standards Miss Williams the director

059Dortha Brown Middle School uh Mr trino or Miss Garcia from our facilities and operations are available to answer any questions we are recommending action on this item and this is a three-part item uh to consider we have I I have a question on this um this is the contract the AIA contract that's oh sorry this is the AIA contract that's um listed as document a 2011-20 2017 Dr gues that's correct okay um I went through it and saw the draft and then the revisions and deletions however I don't see a venue in jurisdiction Clause is this the norm or does it need to be added on uh this is a standard uh AI AIA contract that we get right that that uh it's a standard contract that we as a district get and U negotiate
060with the with a contractor the vendor correct correct and this is we do submit this to uh Mr o' hamin's firm for review he prepares the AIA contract and then sends it back to us I I'm just concerned that there's not a venue jurisdiction clause and I don't know if there's a special provision for for school districts I I don't think there is but can take a look at that okay and and find out obviously it's better to have venue and jurisdiction in there if it's not um I think you would default back to the Civil practices of Remedies code that says venue and jurisdiction is where it's executed kind of thing so it's better to have it and have everybody agree to it but regardless because it's being executed in Hado County I think
061we're we're safe but in the future that's something I can certainly make sure that myself or Mr ohanlan has in there the subcontractor would be here is local well because we're executing it here as a party is what I'm saying okay and it is Trusty Thompson it is a local uh vendor that we have to complete the lighting project got it m Williams yes sorry um as far as our other middle schools what does this lighting how does this lighting compared to our other middle schools is this something that's standard at all the middle schools no ma'am this was through our cdbg grant uh so it is allowing for the grant funds to be able to um have the lighting project there at the brown track um there are a lot of different stipulations regarding
062the grant funds and so it's based upon the uh need demographics economics uh things of that nature okay thank you uhhuh the funding is going to cover this entire project or do are we leveraging any other funds no ma'am the grant will cover it m perfect okay so this is a um do we have any further discussion Madam chair I move to approve the ranking for selection of general contractor for competitive sealed proposal CSP number 2024-25 dorotha Brown Middle School sports lighting do I have a second second it has been uh motion has been made by um trusty deara Lopez second by by trusty Riva all those in favor signified by saying I I all those opposed same sign item passes 60 Madam president I move that the board approve that Administration begin with negotiations

065we have not had Middle School Spanish since the end of the 2021 school year and this um set of instructional materials is intended for Middle School Spanish which we no longer offer so it is sitting in our warehouse right now and we are asking to be able to sell the Surplus instructional materials so that we can use the um resources for the sale of this Surplus instructional materials to purchase more instructional materials as always um anytime we sell instructional materials that money has to go back into instructional materials only thank you I do have a comment or a question um so I understand that the bo the policy dictates that we can um sell the Surplus instructional materials but also um in some cases um electronic overage that I guess may be you know not
066usable any longer right so the policy is all encompassing but all we're asking for today is what is here on this uh list of items okay and it is just it is strictly consumables in our warehouse that are left over okay and these they have no use to us otherwise they're just taking up space and correct we're at least making some money back right okay any other I do have one question is it common for us to just use one vendor that shows interest or should these go through a process where other vendors might be not and maybe um you know show it you know they may not know but what appears here to me is that we have one vendor that's interested and do we open this up to others or how does that
067typically well uh there's that we're aware of there's only this company that that offers to buy the the um the the books um what we other disposal methods that we use is like we would put them up for auction um but we usually get no no no takers for something like that and if I could just follow up we have used this vendor in the past and this particular vendor is on our bid list thank you very much thank you any other questions yeah you have to come back to us for any other instructional instructional materials that are not on this list yes if it's paid with IMA funds uh which this is uh we would have to come back for approval okay and IMA funds are instructional material allotment okay so I'm real picky

072Independent School District June budget amendment for fiscal year beginning July 1st 20203 and ending June 30th 2024 um Dr we recommend approval of the June 2024 budget amendment for the 2023 2024 fiscal year Miss Lorena Garcia is available to answer any questions we are recommending action on this item and I believe this item was uh from the original uh time that we posted to now we had to do an amendment and you have the changes to that to that Amendment uh so just as an information item that is that we had to amend it and change it uh this morning and you have the they have the changes to this okay do we have any questions comment I can just uh I usually give a presentation go ahead go ahead than you okay so for
073the what you're looking at um is the amendment um for the fifth six weeks uh from the fourth six weeks we did see an increase in average da attendance and part of that has to do with the optional flexible School dat program uh there was an increase of 27 six um now since we just started with the program when you average it into the whole year uh it only bumps our our yearly uh average daily attendance to 37 but uh this is indication of what's to come next year when we will have full year uh data on that so that that did help our funding um some of the the major points in the that are uh covered in the amendment um first of all uh we uh did have uh an increase in revenue
074of 7842 42 and that is due to a recovery for uh from insurance uh for some uh wind damage storms um we we also did receive um into the the general fund fund 199 from the state we did receive 1.15 U million dollar uh uh a million 15,447 to be exact and that came from additional state aid um there it was a a legislative amendment in 2021 that people that filed uh paid their taxes but then later filed Homestead exemptions and if they received a refund then school districts were entitled to the equal amount in additional state aid so that that uh is a nice little gift from the legislature there in add addition to that uh another fund That Grew was our fund 173 for special education in the amount of 1.3 million and
075that has to do with uh additional Services being offered um so the more students being served the more funding that we get we also had to decrease uh shs uh school health uh related Services um by a million dollars as you know we had planned on a million dollars with our at the beginning our budget but because of the the changes that were made in the regulations we we are not able to recoup those funds we are disputing it but we do not have a resolution yet on that we did receive some covid tests from the federal government so we did book an increase uh about $1.1 Million worth of that and then that is expensed out in addition to to that um we uh uh also had the sale of uh South 17th Street
076property um and that closed on Friday uh 53284503 11 um two fund balance um $5.6 million out of the sr3 funds that we are reclassifying uh part of the 20 million that we were supposed to transfer into fund balance we've already we had already uh transferred a portion of that um 13 million and then the rest uh we we are doing it in phases this is fa phase two of that Function 11 we also did the same thing um uh let me see I believe it was fun function function 52 for security um and the reason we chose that it's 2.9 Million reason we chose that is because that does not affect our maintenance of effort calculation uh so um in order to stay below that and those are some of the the the highlights
077that we have on the budget amendment are there any specific questions Mrs Garcia just on page 221 it's under Debt Service um it shows local property taxes revenues under it 6.4 million the original budget and then the revised budget April 30 2024 13.9 million what's the reason for the increase of seven 7 million and maybe I'm just not understanding it on The Debt Service that's the portion that we removed that we'll have to bring back at uh the next board meeting so um the pack what you're looking at is the updated copy we're not including Debt Service in this amendment okay okay yeah we going need to correct that and bring it we're going to bring it back on the uh on the 18th to answer your question okay okay okay I'm needing some action
078on this I need a motion move to approve second second motion by trusty and a second by trusty Riva all those in favor signify by saying I I all those post same sign motion passes 60 we've already conducted business on td7 td8 discussion and possible action on 20123 2024 low attendance waivers Dr Gutierrez ta approved attendance waivers that allows District districts to drop any attendance day up to 4,200 operational minutes for the fourth and the fifth six we reporting period due to uh two weather days in January and the solar eclipse day in April during the fourth and fifth six weeks reporting period melen ISD qualifies for low attendance waiver days these waivers if approved by ta will substantially increase the district's funding Miss Garcia uh is available for any questions and we are recommending
079action on this item uh this is something to that uh all districts uh get W days when there's a bad weather or something occurs that decreases our attendance rate for that day drastically uh ta tea allows us to U submit a waiver and uh and they give us credit for our average daily attendance Madam president I move to approve the submission of low attendance day waivers to tea Texas Education ageny second just make it sure she do like motion by trusty Rivera second by trusty deara Lopez all those in favor signify by saying I I all those post same sign motion passes 60 item 10 D9 discussion and possible action on the third amendment to agreement number 202013 sper Commercial Glo Global Affiliates also known as the araga group Dr guz Administration and sper Commercial
080Global Affiliates uh the araga group are amending the agreement to extend the term through July 31st of 2025 uh Miss Garcia's Deputy superintendent for business and operations is available to answer questions and we're recommending action on this item since we have some real estate transactions in process right now so just for clarification my understanding is that we signed an agreement with this entity back in 2019 this is the third amendment to extend but we are extending just through the sale of botom Elementary correct um there's two properties listed how are the first property just closed on Friday so uh as we were you know posting this so that one's done and the second property is bonum elementary and uh what the amendment says is that uh uh uh the above property selling closed before the
081the July 31st 2025 deadline the term of this agreement will end on the date that the last of the property closes and title is transferred to the buyer so as soon as that transaction is done close this this contract is over we would have to go out for request for proposals for a new company at that point in time okay thank you madam chair I move to I'm sorry I have a question so if bonam does close by the end of the year and the buyer doesn't go through for some reason then this very commercial Global Affiliates would still have the contract um it it would be it would expire on July 31st 20 25th which would be whichever occurs first the sale or that date however um it's it's unlikely based on the the
082place that we're at in terms of the negotiations with the the the buyer on this property we already have a buyer uh they're just working on submitting some final paperwork um and I believe since it's a real estate transaction it's not something we can discuss in Open Session but you can receive um councel from our attorney in close session and they can give you the details so that uh you you'll see that it's it's a fairly quick uh we anticipate that this will will be resolved okay any other discussion I need a motion I move to approve second I have a motion by trusty deara Lopez and a second by trusty Riva all those in favor sign signifi by saying I I all those opposed same sign motion passes 60 items 10 e Board of
