Second. All in favor? I. I. Anybody opposed? Those will be approved. Item number five, we will now recognize 2025 6A state basketball champions, Paul Bryant High School. Good evening, Mr. Chair, board members. Again, it's a pleasure to be in front of you because when when I come in front of you, we've always done some really good things in athletics here. So tonight we're here to recognize Paul W. Bryant Stampede, the boys 68 basketball team as Alabama
003High School Athletic Association state champions. I'm not going to speak long because I'll give Coach Peklo my time, but I really want to start out by thanking the board for all you do for athletics. um that is we are cutting edge on the things that we do in support of athletics and I'm so thankful for you all for all that you do to Mr. Hinds, your staff, faculty staff, all the teachers, everybody at Bryant for the way that you support athletics. That is truly important. And we thank you guys so much for your support. To our parents, who I always have to thank because they always give everything that they have in support of the student athletes to make sure that they have every opportunity to succeed. To coach Peeklove, his staff, and the team,
004we're so proud of you guys for the work that you put in. And I always have a couple of notes that I just want to talk about. This team lost nine seniors last year. And I know coach probably thought that he had the best chance to win the championship with nine seniors. And as we talked at the beginning of the year, he's like, "Coach, I'm young and expectations." And I said, "Coach, well, just coach and do what you do. You never know when it's going to come." And I know this team started out at four and five and some things clicked and turned around and as we know that they ended up being state champions. and to beat a team that has beaten you twice for the state championship. That's a testament to coach Plo
005and the the way that he's taught his team to be resilient and to be prepared. Last thing we talk about all the time that defense wins championships and offense sells tickets, but watching the the first half of that game and really the game, the way that this team play defense really is true to that adage that defense wins championships. So, at this time, I'm going to give Coach Plo chance to come up and introduce his staff and say what's on his heart. Dr. Daria board, um it's an honor to stand before you guys. Um I stood before you about eight years ago, um recognizing the same opportunity that we had. Um I want to say thank you, um to be here. there's an opportunity for us to um put our program on a on a
006state level and a national level. Um can't and it's done with a whole lot of people in the background. Um I want to take a moment to recognize a few people. Um our principal, Mr. Eric Hines, who came in and gave us everything that we needed and to move forward. Also, our parents um great in what we're doing. I thank you guys for entrusting us with your children. It's an honor and it's a privilege and we don't take that lightly. Um, and to you guys, the board members, thank you for your support and giving us everything we needed. If we called and asked for anything, you guys were on it. Uh, Mr. Herd, appreciate you. You supported us. We talked a lot through the season and over the years and this is something that we've
007talked about and it's great to be standing here before you to accept this or to be recognized. U, but I'd like to recognize a couple of people. Um, my coach, Coach B. I have a great coaching staff. Um, Coach Wack is not here. Um, also, um, I have a couple of my guys. Guys, if you come down, please. But these guys put in. [Applause] But um these guys put in a lot of work. Um y'all guys come around spread out. These guys put in a lot of work. Um we started last year probably about May and we worked up until we actually won this thing. These guys, they were committed. They were dedicated. Not only are they great athletes, but they're great students. Uh I was looking at some of the GPA here today and
008they're great students. So um I want to introduce a couple of well all of them. Um Tajian um Bird, he's a sophomore. He'll be back with us again. Uh Mr. Corin Barnes, he's a senior. Um Mr. KJ Samuels, a junior. Mr. Joshua Williams, a junior. Javon Williams, he's our senior. He's our 6A MVP. Um, small guy, small guy, but packed a big punch and um, very big in what we did. Um, Mr. Alfonso Morton here, he's a, um, junior. He'll be back with us. And Mr. Cameron Walton, he's a freshman. So, um, these are guys that put in the work. They deserve all the credit. We've just lucky enough to been a part of it and just to guide them. So, uh, thank you guys. We appreciate the recognition and um we look forward to
009doing it again. Well, I've known coach from Northing to Eastwood to Paul W. Bryan High School and even before then with University of Alabama and I can remember the days he said, "Mr. Lucas, well, why can't I be the head coach? Why can't I be the head coach? And it finally came through. And he always would say, "Miss Lucas, I don't know. I don't know if we're gonna win this thing." Miss Lucas, he said that the first Yeah, Mr. Hurry said that. But coach, what you do with the players, you don't just go out and win championships, but you change young men. And all the ones we've seen on Facebook have gone on past this school system and done other things. You've changed their life. You've changed the culture of them and their families. And
010we as a system greatly appreciate it. You know, that's why you are a dynamic coach because you don't just look at them playing ball, but you making sure you said they all got good grades. That's because they know you a they ain't going to play for you if they don't have good grades. So, you are part of that and you make that happen. Not taking anything away from the parents, but we really appreciate what you've done for them, coach. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. See you next year. Same place. Coach. Hey. Hey. Hey. You know she going to say something. Okay. Before you say anything, a couple people walk in. Okay. Um our my assistant coach, Coach Wat, very intricral part in what we do every day. Uh Mr.
011Rian Rionello Sullivan. Um he's a 10th grader. He missed most of this year, but we are looking forward to having him back next year. He's going to be a great play. Um since he's telling stories, I got to say, um I've been with Coach Pit a long time and we didn't bump heads like none other for good reasons cuz just what he said. He make make sure the children have their grades and and um he make sure they do right in and out of school. And he's like a father figure, a brother figure to so many when they celebrated the other day. All the boys that came, majority of them that came from that one in 2018, 2017, including my son, they made sure they was out there to see Coach Peek love and they
012just absolutely love you. So, what you do is, you know, is is awesome. I I can't I know I I know I probably be a nagging parent, but I appreciate all you docept when you throw the ball. Can't coach on the sideline. Look, we can't coach on the side. We can't coach on the sideline, but I appreciate you loving us parents and letting us do what we do as well. So, they Okay. Yeah, they're falling in. We had a little time change, but also uh Mr. William Jackson just walked in. Will step up. Will senior. He'll be graduating this year. And um Javvante Moss. Javvante is a sophomore, so he'll be back with us a couple of more years. So, of this team, um, of these 13 guys, we have four seniors. Um, Mr. McKinley
013Everett just walked in, another freshman. Um, he'll be back for another three years. So, um, like I said, of these 13 guys, four of them are seniors, and they'll be moving on to bigger and better things, but we have nine guys that are returning. Um, I think four sophomores, two freshman. So the future is real bright for us as long as we stay stay together and do the things we're supposed to do. And also planning a parade for them is so necessary. So I think that's underway. So make sure everybody that's YouTube and everybody in the room come out and celebrate them in a major way with that as well. Thank you. And coach, you you have put Bryant basketball on the map of one of the premier teams in this state year in and

And I want to thank Tuscaloosa City Schools for supporting the arts and education. Um, it lets me follow my passion and it lets these kids explore creative thinking and thinking outside of the box and they just do amazing work. So, I'm so proud of you. Great job. Great job, guys. Thank you.
020What? Okay. Item number seven, we will now receive and recognize 2025 National Board Certified Teachers during NBCT week. It's Dr. Maxi. No, not Dr. Maxi. So, I'm not Dr. Maxi. Um, I am Rachel Gogggins. I have the privilege of serving as the National Board Support Coach here in the Tuscaloosa City Schools. Um, and just excited to provide you guys a quick update and celebrate a few folks who are with us this evening. So just broadly, national board certification um is a nationally recognized certificate akin to a seal of excellence in the teaching profession. This is a voluntary and incredibly rigorous process for teachers deeply reflect on their practice. They have to demonstrate evidence of their impact on student learning um and demonstrate that they can meet really high uh rigorous standards of accomplished teaching practice.
021And they do this through portfolio entries and written commentaries and videos and forms. Um, all of these things that kind of culminate with a computer-based assessment just of their content knowledge. And so there's over a decade of research um that would confirm that students taught by MBCTS outperform um those taught by other teachers. And the evidence um estimates that that increase in learning can be about one to two months of instruction in a single school year um which can be elevated in high needs populations. And so with that research in mind, TCS has done an incredible job for a decade of making a commitment um to supporting teachers professional growth through board certification driveby. I am personally incredibly grateful for that. I'm a product of the supports. Um, there's definitely a before certification version of
022me and an after. Um, I like this version better and I wouldn't have made it here if it were not for the supports that this system has provided. And so, um, I love getting to support other candidates, um, and have seen the impact on their practice and their students. Um, and so due largely in part to the margin center grant that we've had the last couple of years, we've seen a significant increase in the number of active candidates that we have for board certification. Um, and we've seen an increase in the candidates that we've retained in the process that have kept going. Um, which we're really proud of and excited about. We ranked as the second highest district in the state of Alabama for number of active candidates in 2024. Um, and we could and
023expect to see that continue um, with numbers impacting our certification rates as well. So, we had eight teachers achieve certification in December of 2024 and could see as many as 25 or 30 um achieve in December of 2025. Um and might be worth noting that we also had nine of our current MVCTs successfully complete the maintenance of certification as well. So, continuing that professional growth. So, we have currently 60 National Board Certified Teachers here in TCS and we're going to celebrate those that were added to the ranks in December. So, I'm going to you if you are here with us, you can step down and we will recognize you um and pin you. So, Allison Mud at Central High School, certified in mathematics, adolescent, young adulthood. Hannah Reid of Northridge Middle School, certified in science,
024early adolescence. Candace Sparks of Rocky Elementary School, certified in literacy, reading, language arts. And Lauren Hapcock Campbell at Central Elementary, certified in exceptional needs specialist. again. Um, Emily Foster of Verer Elementary School, certified as an early childhood [Applause] generalist. Caitlyn Keading of Rock Corey Elementary School, certified in literacy, reading, language, Rhonda Lane of Northridge High School, certified in English language arts for adolescence and young adulthood. And Alicia Wear, also of Northridge High School, certified in mathematics, early adolescent, and young adult. You did hear two math teachers. Yes, you did. Um, seeing a bit of an uptick in our secondary teachers that are jumping into this process, which is super exciting. So, No. Would you like me to say something? Let's all look at Dr. Maxi as you can. I will say this as um a
025just a a closing. We appreciate you guys um and the efforts that you guys made to achieve certification, but we are of the mindset that this is just the beginning. um that this is the beginning of your commitment to accomplished teaching and impacting our students here in TCS. So, thank you and congratulations. Hey, Rachel. Real quick, um if I may say just a few words, Dr. Maxi and Rachel, you know, Dr. Maxi, you've been talking to this board and the prior board for many, many years about this, the importance of this, and we appreciate your efforts on this front especially. It's very important, Rachel. You're sort of a a new addition to this area of TCS, but this is an area that this board and the prior board was very passionate about and and as
026what you stated, it makes a huge difference. Um, but for you ladies, you're already working your butts off day in and day out. And for you to go above and beyond, we really appreciate that because it makes a huge difference u more so for TCS than it does for your careers actually. And so for you guys to be selfless and uh work that much harder to become better so that you can be better for this system and our students just says a lot about your character. So thank you for putting in the extra effort and we appreciate you. Thank you very much. Mr. Chair, Miss Rachel, can you repeat the stat that you given earlier about the second in the state? Yeah. So um the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards updates, records every year
027by state, number of active, all that stuff. Um and number of NBCTs. So this year we were actually second in the state of Alabama or sorry this previous year in the number of active candidates. So we reported six uh 56 active candidates last year. Um and that's um gone above to be 60 at least for this current year. Um and so it's the most that we've ever seen be active in the process. Um it's a process that teachers can engage in in a single year or they can spread it across three years. Um, but we have a lot of teachers in the pipeline that are demonstrating commitment to this. We're really excited about that. At now, I know I'll be hazed later for not being able to resist speaking. The the thing that uh Miss
028Scoggins mentioned but may have gone by quickly is that we anticipate we have scores from our candidates that suggest that we'll have between 25 and 30 certify this December. If sorry when that happens uh we have been assured by folks who've been doing this work even longer than us that no district in the state of Alabama has ever had that many certify in one year. So, we promise to have all of the news here a year from now and to really celebrate uh what both the commitment and I really appreciate the way you put that about teachers, but it comes right back to this board and the superintendent who say if you're going to work for us, we're going to invest in you and in your professional growth. And these are the kinds of people
029that prove out the worth of that investment. And and Dr. back to selfishly the stats that you're talking about. These are the things that we should be shouting from the rooftops and really celebrating because this shows the commitment systemwide that TCS has for their teachers but also for their students with the trickle down effect. So, thank you guys again for everything that y'all do. Much appreciated. All right. Item number eight, public comments on non-aggenda items. Excuse me. We have one speaker tonight. Ryan, would you like to come up? Good evening. Good evening. Um, I'm here. I present y'all a letter at the conference we're going to have in June the 25th through the 27th.

Item 12 B discuss approved 2025 2026 student teacher intern compensation. Yes, sir. Uh, as you know, we're always committed to attracting highquality educators to our system, and this is an innovative approach
034that we've used in the past. Uh, we're bringing it back. We want to use this approach for uh, student interns that intern with us through the city schools. We want to pay them during their internship. In return, we are asking that they commit to a year service with TCS. First priority is going to be given to Tesla City School System graduates. Um, we'll look at the interns that are in higher demand, the math, the science, um, the special education. But again, we want to look at those internships up to 10. We typically, we've done it up to 20 in the past. We don't get 20. 10 usually is a seems to be a good number for us. So, that's what we're looking for. If we have more than 10, we'll come back to the board
035and ask uh if we can uh get um add some additional ones, but we want to continue using those innovative approaches to attract high quality teachers to uh to TCS for our students. Okay. Thank you, Dr. Cameron. Board may have a motion to approve. Second. Any questions or discussion? All right. Any other questions or comments? I'll call for a vote. All in favor? I. I. Anybody opposed? Be approved. Thank you, Dr. Cameron. Okay. 12 12C. Discuss approve second reading of revision to policy 3.02. 2 budget for reserve. Dr. Daria. Yes, sir. Mr. Duke is going to approach the podium and uh we since we had the good discussion in our last in what first reading uh we've made some changes based on that discussion mostly moving the two numbers from having both a goal and
036a policy to just a singular number a policy number. Mr. D. That's right, Dr. Derry. And um thank you board. And and one thing I'd like to reiterate that we talked about last week is the calculation by the state of the official one-month reserve requirement is an annual calculation and that's on September 30th of each year. And so the TCS finance department and the superintendent and the executive staff team will continue to monitor that internally uh that reserve balance monthly in order to maintain that TCS now policy upon your approval of one and a half months. And we'll we'll monitor that on a monthly basis to maintain that one and a half month now policy each September 30th. All right. Thank you, Mr. Duke. Board may have a motion to approve. We have a second.
037Do we have questions? Do we have any discussion? We can ride with any other questions or discussion. Call for a vote. All in favor? I. I. Anybody opposed? Be approved. 12D. Discuss. Approve. 2025 to 2026 AT&T GPS and data agreement. Dr. Cameron. Yes, sir. So, we're looking at a new system for our GPS. with this system with the AT&T and GPS it's going to give us better service uh with what we have uh with our previous one it did not provide the services we are going to get now uh you look at these tablets so each bus driver will have a tablet they have a tablet now but it doesn't work the way we need it to work with this AT&T if we have a substitute bus driver they can get on with this tablet
038and they can they'll know the route exactly GPS will tell tell us where the route to go for this particular um group of students. So, it also it replaces our GPS platform. It saves us uh $8,000 annually and it will enable us to when we go into our Transfinder system that we approve, y'all approved a couple of months ago. It enables us to use that stopfinder app app for the parents to know when their bus is coming, if their bus is delayed, and if they're having a substitute bus driver. This just provides us with better service, which it entails provides our substitute bus drivers and our parents as well. So, we're asking for approval. All right. Thank you, Dr. Cameron. Board may have a motion to approve. Second. Do we have any questions or discussion
039for Dr. Cameron? I had a little glance at it. Looks pretty good. It looks very technological. Hey, it's also perfect. He'll take care of it. Transportation department has done a great job in this. Well, that may reduce some of the phone calls, too, because you know when when we get the parent part working, parents will be able to, oh, here the bus. This is what you know. So, that's going to be great. And it's real time so they'll be able to see it. And if a bus is late then they can see it as well. Would have helped us uh yesterday as uh stops and instances. This there is an app. Yeah. And we we're going to begin to push it out. I think we're going to try it in summer summer learning just to
040get our legs out from uh legs out under us and then push it on out for the August. Okay. Yes, sir. I know you had I know you had someone be calling You can call me anytime, but it'll be less about the bus. All right, I'll call for a vote. All in favor? I I. Anybody opposed? That'll be approved. Thank you, Dr. Cameron. 12E discuss approve position control assessment proposal by LeanFrog. So, Leanrog um is going to come in and do their comprehensive review uh between the HR departments, the finance departments, and the payroll departments for position position control. And what I mean by position control is they're going to look at our workforce and organize it by position rather than employee and be able to will we get a better understanding of what was
041budgeted versus the actual cost. They're going to come in and do an on-site review. Uh LeanFrog does this. They're one of the companies that we've used in the past. Um they'll look at mapping sessions and they'll be able to develop a clear documentation which will ensure for us that we hire budget and our structure is going to remain aligned through these three departments. So they're going to come out help us uh maybe can get it going uh later part of April, 1 of May. It should take five to six months and then we should have this product moving forward. All right. Board may have a motion to approve. So moved, second by Miss Williams. We have any questions or discussion for Dr. Cameron. Again, it's about being more cutting edge and efficient and being able
042to dial down. So thank you for this proposal. Um call for a vote. All in favor? I. Anybody opposed? Be approved.
