001June 15th, regular meeting of the Daily Honor AST Board of Trustees. Josh Bainham and Caleb Nowlin are absent and coming. There is a quorum. [snorts] Uh >> We do not have flags in here. >> Don't have what? >> Flags. >> Okay. Uh Chairman, you want to give us some information? >> Let us pray. Dear heavenly Father, we gather tonight to do what's best for kids, best for our community. We hope you help us with our decisions to guide us in the right directions. Um that is safe, effective, and meaningful. We hope you will let everybody have a safe travel home after their training this afternoon, this evening. And we do all this in your name. Amen. >> Uh Do we want to fly the school flag? >> [snorts] >> Just give it to me tonight.
002Put the new flags Uh I'm going to say no citizen participation. Uh previous minutes. >> The minutes The minutes are in your packet. Um the um We're right on target with our revenue and our budget. Uh the tax collections uh The latest revenue is $72,220.29 collected since the last board meeting getting less every every time, but that's good because people in this community normally pay their taxes and we're very we'll be very close to to 100% by the end of the year. >> [snorts] >> Okay. Any discussion? Questions? >> I'm sorry. I guess we're looking for a motion. >> I make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll second. >> Motion by Terrell, second by Cass to approve this consent agenda. All four. Passes 5-0. Uh campus reports, Chuck, are you giving campus
003reports or you just >> I Mine's already been submitted last night. >> Okay. >> I I actually gave the principals off tonight since we were having training right after this. Um I I will I did put in your at your place the the scores. I wanted to draw your attention to that, that the the scores were there. Uh they're they're really really really good >> [snorts] >> across the board, especially our high school. I think they're the best scores we've had at high school. Um I think uh we had about four or five kids fail each one of the tests, no more than that, except for his uh history and nobody failed. Uh interesting enough that only two of the students who were in there scored below at expectation, you know, meet meeting uh approaching
004is passing. And so 100% passed. Only two kids were way on grade level. And so uh they're the scores are really really really good. Uh The uh I know that you'll probably go a little bit when you will look at the seventh grade math scores, and I'll just tell you there's a reason for that, because this is the first year that they've skimmed off or we skimmed off the top and the kids the high kids had the opportunity to take advanced math. Those advanced math scores count in that 98% passing rate in eighth grade uh math. So, those kids that there weren't very many of them and those are the kids that weren't eligible to take advanced math. So, they're the struggling students. Um so, I think I think we'll figure that out better, but
005it but they're still good scores. They're and it was a small group, so it didn't have very many kids Um our um our third grade scores are not normal for the Lois campus. Uh the third grade teachers were distraught, but if you will recall at practically every board meeting we've had all year long, Lois talked about this was a very small group and a very big percentage of kids with special needs in that group. And so, um I I we I still tell you we have really great teachers there that are doing an outstanding job. So, I think those are the only things that um I will point out here, but if you will notice eighth grade uh reading scores were 100% approaches, which is wonderful. I think where our biggest gains were where we
006had more kids actually on grade level and and on mastery level, which is really really good. I peeked at some of the scores that were posted. Only high school scores were posted over the weekend for the state and I peeked at a few of them. Um we look really really good compared to the schools that I looked at. And so, um I'm very pleased and we have much to celebrate. We have a lot [snorts] to celebrate with the caliber of teaching that's going on across the and learning caliber of learning that's going on across the district. >> We have five testing tomorrow for the algebra re-take, and then the three for English one on Wednesday. >> So they did they did it here in summer school. >> So that's that's how many you know that
007in a little school with not very many kids, five kids can make a huge difference. So we had good turn out for summer school. Kids were very serious, and I think the those those results will be good. Unfortunately, only the math school gets their test >> for it. [snorts] >> Anyway, I I think that we just have lots and lots and lots to celebrate there. So I'm not looking at my watch, so Vicky Hayhurst >> I just sent her a message. I'm logging on now. She said she's ready when you >> Um Vicky Hayhurst with Arp Hill is going to remotely talk to us about the Arp Hill program. And check his >> Download it. >> Yeah. >> This Do we have the number of students tested for sixth and up? >> I did They
008They didn't send that to me. Cali When Cali did her report, she just did it. But it's a probably about the same. >> So what they test is >> Except for seventh grade, that was not very many. It's like maybe less than 20. Yeah. It It's a because the others went up to eighth grade testing for it, and they took the eighth grade test. >> Okay. >> And did well on it. So um but I was especially proud of our biology. We had a huge [snorts] number that were on or above grade level in biology. And in the past we have we've been approaches really well. He really focused this year. He really focused Yeah. He really focused on it. And they're wonderful scores. We have one more year of star and then we'll have
009I'm not sure what they call the new one. It's something with S, [snorts] isn't it? Success. >> Miss Vicky, can you hear me okay? Okay. No, I can I can see her. There we go. I'm going to turn this up. Okay, I got you up as high as you can go here. Can y'all hear her okay? All right, Miss Vicky's on the computer and these computer speakers are as loud as they will go. We're ready for you, Miss Vicky. >> Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me tonight. I'm so sorry I wasn't there in person, but I am in Round Rock waiting to present for a conference tomorrow. So, hopefully everything will work just fine like it's supposed to, you know, how technology is. So, I'll make this pretty short and sweet.
010This is just a requirement of the art path is to present information at least twice a year to the school board. So, I'm just going to go over a few things. We'll have more information again in in the fall to give more updates, but I just wanted to let you know how things are going. So, these are what we'll be talking about is CCR C updates, finance, data, and looking ahead. So, this right here is our goals that were set by the CCRC. We have till 2028 to reach these goals. If we reach them before that, then we'll adjust them and make create some more. So, this is just where our goals are 80% of students in shared pathways earning an IBC and completing a dual credit course. And this includes all the students that
011are part of our path that come from Gustine and Julia Ann. So, for 70% of graduates in post-secondary education training or career placement, so we want to make sure that our graduates are uh have a good clear path in that post-secondary after graduation. Um the next one is provide 100% of students with advising and career support. So, we want to make sure that all of our students are having that advantage of having someone advising them and what their opportunities are and and providing that support to make sure that they reach their goals that they have set. Um the next one is engage all K-12 students annually in career exploration. So, we want to make sure that we're outreaching to all of our students because it is building a pathway to get to what we what
012our goals are in high school. Um we want to make sure that the culture is there and that students are are aware of what all kinds of fantastic jobs are out there as they're growing as they're growing up and coming through. And also, you know, why are they learning math? Why are they learning English and writing and all those things and how will that work? Um and then the last one is ensure that 75% of juniors and seniors participate in a work-based learning opportunity. That is huge for our students. Um they need to be uh getting out and around, you know, in the industry and and the pathways and all so that they understand, uh, what those opportunities are and start deciding if they like it or they don't like it. You know, this is
013really what this is about. It's not about, uh, putting kids in a pathway and they're stuck in there for the rest of their life. It's really about making sure that they know what their options are and, you know, start start looking at what they like and what they don't like. So, So, that that is the goals for the CCRC. Um, some of our wins for this year was, uh, we felt like we had a successful year just getting it off the ground. You know, that's the first year is just trying to get some things off the ground. There's a lot of working pieces in our path and trying to help with those transitions and and moving forward. Um, we established some baseline metrics that we're going to be working, uh, through in the next couple
014of years. And we had, uh, partner engagement growth. So, as we add on higher ed partners, industry partners, all of those things, then that's going to help support the work that we're doing through the CCRC. Some of our challenges are always, you know, trying to figure out the best way to gather data so that we can show what's happening, uh, uh, in the program and whether we have some, uh, challenges there or we're making headway. So, we're always trying to figure out the best way to share out data. Um, resource account allocation is about, you know, making sure that all of our resources are being utilized, um, for our AR path program and making sure that we're [clears throat] reaching its full potential. And then timeline adjustments. So, always having to adjust, you know, sometimes
015we can put things out there and think that that's going to work really well, but then, you know, something happens, life happens, and we have to make those adjustments as well. So, in year two, our biggest focus is really about scaling success success of the programs. We have the nursing science program, and then we have we're implementing the information technology support services. We adjusted adjusted that program from we had computer programming as the original first um pathway, but as we got to doing more research and looking at what opportunities students would have with that, and especially in this region, we have an influx of AI centers, data centers coming in as well. So, we wanted to make sure that our students had a larger opportunity to work within the networking system. So, that was one
016reason for that adjustment. Um also we're going to be targeting student support, making sure that they're they have everything that they need to be successful, making sure that we have everything in place for that success, and so that'll be one of our focuses. And then also just always expanding the opportunities for business partnerships. You know, we want to grow that as much as we can, and make sure that we have partners for the future. Here. Okay. Um This is just a a pathway this was the pathway update that I was talking about with the information technology support services program and replacing it replacing the computer programming and software. That one was a little more limited even though there's great skills in that one and they are usable in you know in a lot of jobs
017but the networking is really what we were trying to work more around and to be able to give us more services in that and we're hoping with that program we'll be able to have students actually working with business partners and learning how different network systems work and then also kind of sharing some of that between the districts as well. And then Dilley on has been talking with Dilley on a little bit you know we had the TRCN grant where we were able to put in a starting construction program of study and so we're really looking at hopefully maybe being able to expand that one out and that be another our head program that can be shared with Gustine as well. Gustine has the beginning of one as well but it's that level three and four
018that we're looking at for Dilley on so that we can have students be able to have some work based learning experiences, internships and those type of things. So we'll be working on that for this next year. And then the finances this is something these are just estimations right now but on the summary of finance this is the first year to actually have a line item that reflects what the our head funding can look like for each district and so right now this these actuals were in April once we get all of the final uh team submissions pretty on and everything, we'll be able to see the final amount in September for this past year. It takes a full year to generate our PEP funding. So, this is what we'll be seeing coming from this past
019this first year that we just went through. We'll see this amount in the fall. So, this is just kind of giving an idea of what it looks like at the moment. >> [clears throat] >> And we were really pleased with the numbers because the projected amount >> [clears throat] >> we were at least halfway there and a little bit more for at the middle of the year. So, this was good. Does anybody have any questions about that? >> Not that I know of. >> Okay. All right, moving on. Let's see. This is just another funding source just to kind of give you an idea of some of those estimations that we're looking at. Because Gustine and Dilley are part of the Perkins SSA, there is funding that is supporting some programs that are also supporting
020the CCRC. So, that's the that's the amount that you're seeing right there that's being funneled in the direction of Gustine and Dilley. And the good thing is it's not just for those programs, it's actually for the whole the whole high school program as far as our CTE courses and all. So, it's just one of those benefits that the CCRC also gets from that. Um we wrote a grant the Moody Impact Grant and we were awarded. We found out in June. Trying to remember. It was the first week in June when we received the announcement that we had received the award. And in that grant, we had written in expansion for the CCRC. So, you see $300,000 there. Uh it's a 3-year grant, so that's going to be spread over that 3-year period. Um and so,
021this can help move that construction program or And if uh Erskine has another program that they would like to build to share with uh DeLeon, this will be that opportunity to be able to do that. Um this is just the ARPA allotments. Um 80% of that um the way the ARPA money works, um the full allotment amounts, um 80% of that goes back into the ARPA. 20% of that of final amount goes back into the district's general fund. So, depending on, you know, what DeLeon um generates uh as ARPA funding, uh that from that total amount, 20% of that will go back into the general fund. So, um that is one uh incentive of the ARPA allotments. And then, we have CTE, which that's generated that was generated all through the year last year. That's
022just your regular CTE funding. Uh one of the things that they look at in the ARPA is uh if the ARPA funding is not enough to cover expenses, then some of the CTE funding that's generated by those specific programs may be used to help support um the the ARPA program. So, um but this is just showing what y'all's estimated uh CTE allotment for those uh courses will be uh for those Arched students. And then uh we have some updates. Uh one of our partners is the Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas. Uh they play a big piece in the CCRC uh in supporting the Arched. Uh they have their career education that they share and this is really big where this is for those middle school students in learning about uh different uh the exploration
023career exploration through a virtual learning. Uh they learn about employability skills. Uh Uh and this does say 6th through 12th. She does go up into the high school grades as well, but the main focus is really in that middle school piece. And then they also provide the Career Ed program, which is those uh is the Success Career Advisor that uh is really utilized in the high school for those seniors. And their her her responsi- their responsibility is to help every senior have a plan for when they leave high school. And so that's been a very critical uh piece of the program and that's now going to be covered up into the Arched umbrella so that cost will be uh also uh provided through the Arched, through the CCRC. Um and then we have the work-based
024learning. This is another piece uh that the workforce does and that's really helping um connect uh the CCRC students with industry uh and that can include industry tours, job shadowing, uh teacher externships, internships for the students, and you know, we're always trying to build um they've been really working hard in trying to build some apprenticeship programs and opportunities as well. Um so, I see that growing um in the future as we move forward. So, this is just um okay, this is going to talk about in September, we will have an an advisory board meeting, and this is where we're really going to uh really sit down and talk about how the limber what the budget's going to look like for this next year, um how the funding is going to flow through um with the
025districts and all, and so we're working on that currently with the superintendents and the CFOs um to really uh talk about what that's going to look like. So, just wanted you to be aware uh that that is in the process. This first year, we were very fortunate that we had a lot of extra grant money and things that covered a lot of those expenses uh as far as the CCRC goes, and then also your regular CTE funding is what, you know, was covering your costs and your programs as well. Okay. This is just a report from uh the workforce, and this is the work they uh work Um the Leon seniors have had an average of three one-to-one meetings with their career success advisors, so that means they're meeting with the success advisor uh at
026least three times in the year on a one-to-one basis. This is not in a group setting, it's a very uh, face-to-face setting, um, and it's really they're really there to help those students with college applications and FASFA or job look searching for jobs, all of that. So, that's part of their job. And Dilley had nine students participating in construction day and eight students participated in manufacturing day. So, these students actually got to go on site, um, to these locations and learn more about that, uh, pathway uh, and what type of jobs and careers are within in those pathways. Uh, Dilley had 11 health care interns, um, and then they also had 37 students receive virtual reality over construction in the trades. Um, and then you can see Gustine also had seniors that have an average
027of, uh, 12 to one-to-one meetings with their first, uh, success advisor. A lot smaller group over on that side, um, but I just want to let you know those students in Dilley on, they can meet with those success advisors as many times as they need to. So, if they're searching for, um, support, all they have to do is let them know and they'll set those up. This is pretty much whenever they're talking about, um, having the three meetings that it's just those are three scheduled meetings that they have, but they're, uh, they can meet with them even in between as well. Um, St. Augustine had 118 students receive demand occupation and employability skills presentations. So, they just, um, pulled a lot of their, um, and some of these could have been repeat students as well,
028uh, as they're tracking, um, the numbers, uh, whenever they're offering these, uh, presentations. Um, Gustine had 68 students receive virtual reality over construction in the trades. so that could have been middle school and high school all together that were able to participate in that. And then they'll be conducting some student surveys. They did conduct some student surveys and so we'll have those results in a report later this summer. And talking about a report, we have an annual report that we're going to be that we're working on right now, putting the information together and that will be ready by the fall to share out with the district and the school boards and all so that you can share with your community and shows the work that's being done through the CCRC, so it'll look very professional
029and very it'll be it'll be uh probably several pages report, but it'll look really good and something that you can share with the community as well. So looking ahead, what we're really looking at for next year is planning for student recruitment and family engagement, having that even more precision and how we do that and how can we better streamline some of those engagements, you know, even with like P-Tech recruitment, FASFA, all of those things and so that parents aren't having to come to the schools several nights instead can we make this something that's more comprehensive and having parents come and learn more about all these different programs. Also partner district students completing programs with IB all of our students be able to have the IB opportunities for IBCs, but we also want to make sure
030that if there's level one opportunity certificate opportunities, all of those things then we want to make sure that they're having that opportunity. So, um starting a new program, information technology support and services. So, that's one of our new initiatives for this next uh coming up here. And then on our performance goals, we're meeting performance measures and goals for the upcoming cycle. So, in that report, the annual report, we'll have a lot of that data in that report, so you can see all of those final numbers as well. And then on industry partnerships, you know, we're always, like I said, always focusing there's a lot of there's several partners that we would still like to bring on board to give uh support to these programs as well. And then with work-based learning, um more opportunities for
031students. We want to make sure every student is having the opportunity and they're having multiple opportunities, not just a one-time hit, but, you know, uh being able to uh experience uh and explore a lot of other things as well. Hey, that is all that I have um for um for this time. And like I said, I'll be coming I'll be sharing more information again uh in later fall of this next school year and then also be looking for the annual report that we'll be sharing out as well. Um are there any questions? >> So, No, ma'am. >> Okay. All right. Well, thank you for my time. Thank you for your time. >> [laughter] >> Thank you, Vicky. >> Okay, and I'll see you in person next month. >> Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. >> All
032right. Thank you. >> Okay. >> What are we doing next? >> I'm just saying her 10 minutes and I >> I'll get on through. >> All right. We're nearly through, Allen. >> No problem. Moving on to the summer projects. >> We're just doing all the summer projects that they're going on >> [clears throat] >> and the safety audit that we have a meeting Tuesday tomorrow. Probably to talk about our big safety audit that's coming, but we're in really good shape on that. >> Board training will follow the meeting. Uh okay. Moving on to the action items. >> Okay, we have some gifts to the district. Delilah Rodeo Association for that Class of 1978 gave $1,000. Delilah Rodeo Association 750. James Perkins Scholarship 1250. Earl Smith 250. Delilah students 600. Carson Markward 1500. Delilah Lions Club
0331200. Delilah Study Club 200. Chamber of Commerce 1000. Uh the A&M Club 750. Enrollment Dairy 1000. And that's a new one that we had not gotten before, so I'd say that that they plan to keep doing that. And I would ask for you to accept these. We live in a very generous community. >> I'll make a motion for 7.1. >> Second. >> Motion by MJ, second by Derek to approve donations to the district. All four. Passes 6 to 0. Uh approve of the vision for the calendar. >> And I know you just approved it a couple months ago, but Granger changed their mind on their spring break. And so we try to have our same our same spring break as Granger. And so we're asking you to move our spring break back a week. That's
034the only change. >> A week? >> And and that's really typical of when the Granger just had theirs earlier originally a a week and with dual credit we really need to have the same March. So. >> I'll make a motion to accept the change calendar. >> I'll second. >> Motion by Derek, second by Andrew to approve the revision to the calendar [clears throat] for the school calendar. All for? Passes 6 to 0. Uh approval for policy update 127. >> Yeah, they've been in the week. Notes are included. You'll notice my my notes are here where I What I do is I go through and read it and I have the big stack the big big notebook sitting beside me so I can make sure I'm understanding what it is. I share it with my administrators
035[snorts] during a meeting, but I give you what I give them. Most of these are legal and we really have no alternative but to accept them. There are a few few local things in here, but not big changes. Uh I would ask that you approve these changes so that you can get them in the book [snorts] and keep going with them. A lot of it is just moving things from one place to the other, deleting things that are no longer I'll make a motion to approve the policy update 127. >> I'll second. Motion by Terrell, second by Cass to approve the policy update 127. Call for Passes 6-0. Uh approval of the resolution or the resolution of identifying business holidays. >> Okay, so you recall we did this last year. This is a new piece
036of legislation that we have to designate when our business days are because people who send in open records requests uh or can can hold us to to think that we can produce. So, our attorney drew this up, it sent it to us. So, these are the days that we have chosen. And luckily we changed our spring break because she had to send our spring break with that week. So. >> I'll second. >> Yeah. >> I'll make a motion to approve. Second by Terrell. >> I'll second. Go ahead and vote. >> [laughter] >> Which one? >> I'm going to write Terrell. >> Okay. >> Just because I can find over it. Uh motion by Cass, second by Terrell to approve the resolution of business holidays. Call for. Passes 6-0. Uh personnel professional contracts for >> There's
037two things that that I put my formative evaluation at your place. >> I'll copy. I'll send it to >> there. You reported there. And uh then uh we have hired Yolanda Fosso to the seventh grade teaching seventh grade math in middle school. She sent for us last year and it was wonderful. >> [snorts] >> And she's bilingual and the kids I think will do well. Dawson Hearn and and Dawson Um somebody I cannot remember what he's going to teach. He's a coach. He's a He's a dual contract. They like him. We really did enjoy him. And then Mark Evans is going to teach fifth grade. And I didn't put this on the agenda, but there's a marine packet. This is I give this to you people every year but those of you who are new
038won't be familiar with it. It's for you to start thinking about budget. Mr. Thompson's already coming and we're working on it, but this is some background information so that you'll have a a better grasp on different things that we consider as we're doing the budget. That's That's just for information. Are we going to fully staff the football coach? Um Tell me what time it is. >> 6:39 >> Okay. [snorts]
