Good evening, board members. >> Good evening. >> We are I'm going to ask Dr. Williams and Dr. Jones to come to the podium. Uh we are fortunate in the Tuscaloosa City Schools that we have four students who are named National Merit Semiinalists. While this is not yet done, um being named even a merit semi-finalist is is definitely a big thing and it is something worthy of celebrating. So, I'm gonna ask Dr. Williams to introduce her students and then Dr. Jones will talk from from Central High School.

003Dr. Williams, >> good evening board. I I want to thank you for the opportunity to come before you tonight and celebrate some of our awesome students that we have. Uh I'm here with Nathan Lee and Sunonny Shin. We actually have three National Merit semi-finalists at Northridge High School this year. Zeke Fowler White could not be here with us this evening. He had a prior commitment. As you'll probably hear from some of these students, they're all very, very involved academically, but also in other extracurriculars, so they have very busy schedules. So, we appreciate them being here tonight as well. But, I'm going to let Nathan and Sunny tell you just a brief about themselves and maybe what their future plans are, even if they're not set in stone yet. I realize it's a little bit early,

004but I'd love for you to hear from them, too. >> Good evening, board. >> Good evening. >> It's an honor to be here, and I truly appreciate the invitation. My name is Nathan Lee. I'm a senior at Northridge High School. And in college, I'm interested in studying chemical and/or materials engineering. Some schools I inspired to uh study that at are Stanford, Georgia Tech, and UPUP. Thank you. >> Wow, that's great. >> Good evening, Miss Shan. >> It's nice to be here. It's especially nice to know that like schools like Northridge High School because obviously National Merit's like a national thing. It's nice to know that we have people that can compete with just about anybody in the nation. Um and that just goes to show for all the teachers and all the um support system

005that we have at the school and obviously at Central High School too and Brian. Um, but so I'm thinking of studying at the University of Alabama for chemistry and I already work in a research lab there. So, >> wow, great. I'll >> Good evening. >> Uh, Near Magnol wasn't able to make it tonight, but uh to the board members and uh Dr. As Superintendent Darier, it's our pleasure to talk about Ne McN from Central High School, who has been named a National Merit Semifest. This honor places Nemong the top 1% of students nationwide based on her outstanding performance on the PSAT. Her achievement reflects years of dedication, hard work, and academic excellence. We're extremely proud of her accomplishment and the way she represents Central High School in Tuscaloosa City. And on behalf of the faculty

006and staff at Central High School and my administrative team, back in the back, Miss Grayson, Miss Williams, and Miss Lasser, we are we are honored.

So, if the students, we can get a picture, but I, you know, we're very proud of you guys and um the administrators, thank you for being here this evening and, you know, cultivating the excellence that y'all do at your schools. But we expect to see you in front of the board when

007y'all are named National Merit finalists. And uh just keep on reaching for the star. Congratulations. Thank you guys. >> Thank you all. >> Okay. Item number six. We will now recognize Superintendent essay winners grades K through 12. Dr. Daria. >> Yes, sir. I'm actually Dr. Pope is going to present this, but board members, when you came in, you saw a handful of brilliant, beautiful, bright students and they are the recipients of the superintendent's essay contest. Dr. Pope is going to talk a little bit about that and then we're going to recognize these incredible young people. >> Good evening, board. >> Good evening. >> So, this is exciting for us. Um we always talk about our kids and what they're doing in classrooms. So last year we started the uh the superintendent um essay contest to

008stress more about how important writing is and communicating and it goes with our strategic plan as well. So um just give you a little background. For one, we wanted to stress what um our superintendent's importance of writing is in TCS, but our kids, we didn't make it something they had to do at home. It had to be done at school. All of our kids in grades kindergarten through 12th grade had to um write an essay. And I'm gonna talk about the what the prompts were in a few minutes, but every school participated. Every school had to um to select a winner from that grade level in grades K through 12. From that we end up the district um got those winners and we were selected one winner out of the district in K through 12th

009grades. So, these um students behind me are our district winners. So, before I even announce who they are, they deserve a round of applause. So this year, uh, the contest, y'all know how we started out the school year. Our school year, Dr. Derry chose making sure how much kindness meant in this world and how much we need to be kind in our world, in our community. So this year, um, the theme was based on kindness counts. All students in grades K through 12, they all wrote a a paper on kindness. So in grades K2, they were asked to reflect on a time they gave or received kindness. Grades 3 through eight wrote about a moment of kindness in their lives. And grades 9 through 12, they focus on the experiences where kindness had a meaningful

010longing um lasting impact. So today, tonight we are going to let you know who those winners are. So our district level winners for the Dr. Daria superintendent essay winners fall 2025 kindergarten winner is from Arcadia and it is Emily Archer. Let's give it up to Emily. And while we ask I want Emily's parents when I call the kids names up the kids going to wave at you. I want everybody to clap but I also want the parents to stand up and the principal uh and teachers of the school if you also do it. So we're going to start over. Everybody got the rules down? if I understand what I'm Okay, so um kindergarten winner for Tus City Schools fall 2025 superintendent essay contest, Arcadia Emily Archer. Emily, we going to keep it going. First grade,

011South View Elementary School, Jal Sauier. Our second grade winner is not here, but in second grade is Verer Elementary School, Elliot Chisum. Let's give it up for Elliot as well. We do have our third grade winner from MLK Junior Elementary School, Jay Hardy. And we also have our fourth grade winner is from MLK Junior Elementary School, Tavon Underwood. Here you go. Our fifth grade, Skyland Elementary School, Miguel Taylor. Sixth grade, Northridge Middle School, Lucy Krill. And y'all see the fifth grader. Our seventh grade, Tasper Somaya Smith right here. Step up. Eighth grade, Eastwood Middle School, Chrysland Woodard. Ninth grade, Bryant High School, Jace Dior Donald. Our 10th grade is not here, but from Bryant High School as well, Jiaria Robinson. Let's clap it up as well. Our 11th grade winner is from Bryant High School

012again, Tevin Bagby. Clamp it up. And our 12th grade winners for Central High School, Topazia Tazia Tugs. I'm getting it right. [cheering] So, we're going to do one thing uh quickly because not just are they writers and we want to stress how much communication means for all of us, but definitely what we do here in TCS. We have two people that's going to um talk about how this experience, Y'all listen closely because y'all know what the prompts are. So listen closely. How this experience and what this experience I'm change it up. What this experience meant to you. Our first person is from um Eastwood Middle School, Kristen Woodard. What writing this essay really meant to me is it's like showing how somebody helped me when I was down. How kindness help me. Doing kindness just

013shows you don't know what anybody could be going through. But just showing it can help them feel better. It's like somebody could be crying. You don't have to say anything. Don't act have to ask what's wrong. Just going there and being with them can make them feel just just right. And our next one is um from our senior from Central High School, Top Pasia Tub. >> Um what this essay meant to me, what I wrote about is a gift from the gas station. Um it was a time of need where my family needed help and a um stranger helped us at a gas station. And so I just kind of wrote about like you never know what anybody going through and it's okay to um lend a helping hand out to anybody that's in need.

014That's true. >> And before I turn it back um over back to the board, I do want to say um to the parents, to the teachers, and to all of our winners, not just the winners here that we are naming tonight, but all of our students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade that participated in this superintendent essay contest. Um congratulations to you. We really appreciate what you're talking about with kindness and kindness does mean a lot. We want to stress that and spread that as well. And I do want everybody in this place to give a standing ovation to these babies up here behind me for what they've done. Mr. List. >> Well, first I think we need to promote Dr. Pope to like head of cheer squad. >> [laughter] >> uh feel pumped up

015about academics and writing after listening to Dr. Pope. So, thank you for your enthusiasm, Dr. Pope, and what a wonderful, greatl looking group of students with huge smiles. And we're so proud of y'all. And thank y'all for sharing your experiences and being here tonight. Congratulations on your award. Thank you. >> Anybody else? Okay. >> I just Great job you all. Keep writing. Keep being creative. Putting your thoughts on paper can take you a long way in life. So great job. And stay kind >> of All right. Good. >> All right. Big smiles now. Big smiles. On the count of three, we're going to say kindness matters. You ready? >> Camera's ready. One, two, three. >> Kindness matters. She's so cute, man. [laughter] I'm talking about. Hey, pretty girl. >> Now to the Now to the

016boring part. That was exciting. I said now to Oh, here. Hey dog. >> Hi boo. Good to see you all. Thank you. >> Clean the room up. Hi. >> Thanks for coming. >> Byebye. Okay. Item number seven, public comments on non-aggenda items. No one has signed up to speak, which brings us to item eight,formational reports from the superintendent and the executive staff. 8A will now discuss 8A1, discuss summer learning data. Dr. Maxi, Dr. Pope, >> Mr. Mr. Chairman. >> Yes, sir. >> May I we we swapped those switched those a little bit on the agenda probably without letting you know, and I'm sorry for that. Is it okay if we do Midland Institute briefing first >> because you're worried about Kyle having to stay from Dr. Maxi Caul? >> Mr. Chairman, may I introduce this

017uh subject, please? >> All right. 82 discuss Midland Institute CEO program. [snorts] >> Uh board members, I'm going to just do a quick intro and then Mr. South and Miss Lasser are going to come forward. Um nothing is as exciting as what we just did in celebrating our students, but this announcement is exciting. This is a collaboration with um several partners. They're going to talk about it, but this is to bring a unique high quality experience to the Tuscaloosa City Schools next year. I'm going to turn it over to to our incredible partners with the chamber and Tuscaloosa Education Foundation to introduce it. Kyle, >> Dr. Daria, thank you uh board. Thank you for allowing us to be here tonight uh share a program that was introduced to us as a community through Innovate Alabama

018which is one of those partners [snorts] as well. Uh we have a couple of video clips that kind of best explain uh both the student experience as well as one of the initiatives that the students work through as a part of this class. So, we'll do that and then kind of give you a little bit of insight on how we came to this point today and what we should look forward to in the future. that even if you aren't starting your own business, it's necessary. A lot of that stuff isn't taught in school. If you want a job, you want to interview, well, you need to do it. >> I think it's a good thing to experience just cuz it's so different than what a lot of people have to do for normal school. And

019I think it really sets [music] you up to understand what sort of things are options at least. really getting up early and dressing up. You know, those are some of the biggest things that [music] a lot of the students are worried about, but really that's a small sacrifice for all the things that you're going to learn in CEO. You get a whole new perspective on how to hold yourself, how to introduce yourself to others, how to present yourself really, and really how to look at life. It changed my life. I started as a D and an F student and it's because it showed me that life is not all about the grades. [music] It's about the passion. It's about the enthusiasm with what you want to do. I'd not even call it like a business

020class. I'd say it's more of like learning how to be a good leader. And one of like the things that I've been taught so much by so many [music] people like you'll learn more from your failures than you will from when you succeed. I've gotten more out of CEO than I've gotten out of any, you know, economics class or any other class that I've taken in high school just because it's so real. Um, it exposes you to so much that you don't get exposed to in other high school classes. >> Through CEO, I really found what I wanted to do [music] for the rest of my life. You know, being a senior in high school, everyone kind of expects you to have things [music] figured out where you want to go, what you want to

021do, and that's stressful at this time in your life to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. I don't think I'd be able to, I guess, converse or be so friendly, open with adults, business owners, people that I tend to look up to without CEO. It's really brought me out of my shell. >> My time in CEO was really eye opening. It really showed me [music] how much I didn't know going in. I thought I knew a whole lot that really made me want to try a lot harder in my schooling [music] and for my future. Morning [music] everybody. >> So, as you can probably tell, we're doing something a little special today. So, you [music] know, we're doing a little competition. >> Do you think your students can take

022$1 and turn it into $100 or more in less than [music] 2 weeks? >> You're all confident, huh? >> If we're [music] going to do this and go all in, then we help drive the competition and make it fun for them. This could be a really monumental [music] week of their life. >> You guys ready to do this? >> Let the games begin. Let the games begin. Let's go. >> How will I earn more off a dollar? I don't really know yet. >> Well, what kind of scares me is >> I feel [music] like I'm going to procrastinate, but I'm going really fight that. >> Some might not make the $100 if they're not hungry enough. >> This is a real question. What are you going to do to get the numbers up? >> I

023think the deadline is like the biggest thing against me. >> Since we only have 7 days to make $100, that's what I'm most concerned about. >> How much were you able to get? 33 of a gallon. So, not a lot. >> So, there's there's like one thing I found for a dollar and it was like this little heart-shaped mirror like for a little girl. It was pretty hefty. >> In this economy, working up from a dollar is really hard. >> Would you guys be interested in the rose and the cupcake? >> Uh, no. >> I got shot down before I even got started. That's crazy. See if the dog wants a rose. >> I don't know, man. I'm about to give up. >> You really are the smartest generation. question is how do we capitalize

024on your talent? Well, we have to encourage you to believe that you have it. My mentors that do see potential in me. I don't see the potential within me, but that's for me to find out and for them to see. >> I do [music] think I have what it takes to win this competition. >> You've got to believe that you can do it more than anybody else. >> It's about having a goal I know I can hit, but it's still challenging. These kids aren't going to quit. They're going to persevere. >> I really want to be that tough guy. >> If we can change the lives of these students, then they're going to change the lives [music] of more like it's going to keep growing. We're all in this together. Like if one person [music]

025doesn't succeed, then we all don't succeed. A lot of times the biggest reward is in the biggest risk. I can make money from anything at any point whenever. >> CEO is something that really could change a whole generation. >> So again, a little bit of insight to one of the programs and initiatives within the CEO program. And just to give you a little insight on how this came to be uh here in our community, uh the Decatur Morgan uh Chamber of Commerce partnered with the Midland Institute to bring this to uh the Decator High School system. Um and through that innovate Alabama's attention and so over the last two years uh Innovate Alabama has decided to seed four of these programs throughout the state. Uh and because of the support of Senator Bobby Singleton, uh

026Tuscaloosa was chosen as one of those four sites. And in that, uh Innovate Alabama will seed the funding for the curriculum and the startup costs for year one of the program within the school system here at the city. And so we are challenged uh both Carolina and I um the chamber and TEF have partnered together to bring this and and to help fund it beyond year one. Uh part of that is a three-year commitment by business and industry which is where the classroom is. It is truly an opportunity for students to get out into the community and learn the real world issues as far as entrepreneurs face. Uh it it's a testament to entrepreneurship. And so um we have uh that campaign ongoing right now in commitments. What Midland asks for is a $1,200 a

027year commitment uh by business for a three-year commitment period. Uh they don't want one funding mechanism for this program so that it can be sustained. uh if you have, you know, if you got four people funding it, one leaves, uh the program kind of diminishes. And so their idea is to bring 35 investors to the table at $1,200 a piece so that that can be sustained going forward. And so uh we just wanted to say thank you uh for your willingness to be a partner in this. Um, it is giving kids opportunities here in our community that can grow that entrepreneurial spirit um and become business leaders in our community for generations to come. >> One thing I wanted to say really fast, I've put um a little info sheet at your desk um and

028then also show you what we're taking around and emailing to people. We're up 15 investors so far. um got to have the other 15 by the end of the month, which I think I'll have. Um and so this has been really well received by our community and a lot of people are excited about being able to welcome the kids into their businesses and help us put this program on. Also, um one other thing I wanted to say was just lost my train of thought. Um oh, we have a board of directors for the CEO program. So they will be They'll meet we meet monthly and there'll be an TF will be the physical sponsor of the program. The board will meet monthly and that board will also accept the applications for the students. So for

029this program you actually have to apply to get into it and we'll accept 10 to 20 students to start. So and all three high schools can apply through TCTA is where we're going to hold it per se but >> Okay. >> Any other questions? Well, number one, we we appreciate you guys being here tonight. We think this is an amazing program. When Dr. Daria first brought it to our attention, what a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago, >> uh we were all behind it. Um we all know from being in our professions that the best learning takes place in situations like this. And uh sort of what we were talking about at the meeting on Monday, it's uh sometimes you don't know what you want to do and sometimes the ABCs are not

030what's moving you in in high school. And uh it's opportunities like this where we can really shape and uh create great minds and great leaders. And uh this board would like to be the 16th um partner >> and so we will be submitting our investor pledge form and we will put our money where our mouth is because we believe in this program. So thank you. I I think it's again a great opportunity for the kids in our uh community to learn what entrepreneurship what uh leading a business of their own art or whether that's the path that they choose in life or not. Uh there are so many lessons that can be learned through that whether it's the soft skills or interviewing skills that they can take with them forever. So thank you guys for

031being uh willing partners and we look forward to uh to guiding and helping you guys usher kids through And personally, we we appreciate both of you guys continued love and commitment to this system and our kids in this system. Y'all go above and beyond and u we appreciate it. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> We thought all the crowd was here for us >> tonight quickly that that wasn't the case. >> I told Mike when I got here I was like you better tonight. I brought a $7,000 check. last time. >> Um, I want to say I wish I I wish we had this when I was in high school, >> right? >> And um, people donate. We can do all those sidebars, you know, that we want to, but children have to be at

032school. So, they will have to, you know, participate in this. I was going to ask, could I, if I was in high school, could I apply here? >> Well, if you were in high school, >> and and look, this is Can >> Can I Well, and in our eyes too, this is the first step down this path, right? This is the first initial class that we hope to grow beyond u just 20 kids a year. We we want to give everybody the opportunity to participate that that can. And so as we grow, our work doesn't finish this year. >> Awesome. Okay. Item 8 A1, the moment we've all been waiting for this evening. >> Dr. Maxi is in the house. Good evening, sir. >> Good evening. Thank you very much. Uh board, it's my pleasure

033to be here again this evening to share a report about summer of 2025. Um, I'm going to honor your retention of past information and not de labor many of the points. Here's what happened in summer of 25 as we had done for several years. We ran about we ran for 22 days. The number of students we served uh has settled down to 1,800 students. You'll see a comparison in a little bit. Uh we also reduced the number of programs and the number of sites as we projected doing. Uh we served uh a little almost 1,600 students on our largest day for a total you'll see of 1,800 individual students. Uh the one thing that we added this year was a program that we made available to parents uh to pay for when their school didn't

034have funds for their own program. Within that program, some of the students were eligible for the services that the state requires in the summer. Those students did not have to pay for the morning of this session. Some but we provided transportation at the at the middle of the day. Some of the students uh left after the half day and then others paid to stay uh for the remainder of the day. Uh we we can say because of this students on every at from every school in the district had access to a summer learning program even if they had to contribute to the cost of the program. Uh as we have in the past uh we collected quite a bit of data on the impact of summer learning and the academic success of our students. You'll

035remember that third grade is the key year at which retention kicks in. So at the end of May last year, there were 77 third graders who had not yet satisfied the requirements to be promoted. Of them 59 attended summer learning and then uh of that group 34 did benchmark on the assessment at the end of summer learning. Overall, 38 students were promoted through a good cause exemption. Three students were promoted because they completed the portfolio that is an option during summer learning, which leaves us with just 13 third graders that were retained last year. So, out of the entire third grade, that number of uh 77 came down to 13. Um, we we're not saying that summer learning was the thing that made that happen, but we are saying that summer learning was the final

036step in this year-long 11-month process of supporting students to success at the third grade. Uh, quite a busy slide you see in front of you. Here's what we're trying to say here is that we looked closely at the end of year data for students and the beginning of the year data. clearly shows that 61% of students in grades K through five made math gains from the end of last year to the beginning of this year and 29% of K through 2 grade students made gains in reading. In other words, as I've said already, summer learning is part of the puzzle of academic success for students in Tuscaloosa. Uh just wanted to touch briefly on the fact that uh we did scale back our summer learning for high school students. Both Northridge, excuse me, both Central

037and Bryant have 21st century grants that fund summer programming for them. Uh we did not have a dedicated funding source for students at Northridge, but they were able to provide the opportunity for credit recovery for their [clears throat] students. So again there was some opportunity even at schools which did not have the funding. By the way uh we had uh two additional schools that were not renewed for their grants for this coming summer and we'll share about that in just a minute. I'm just going to click through these slides. Please review them at your leisure. This is the fun part. The feedback from parents, students, and teachers. I'll give you a quick summary. Summer learning is awesome. That's basically what you see in these. Students love to attend. Teachers enjoy teaching in summer and parents

038are very continue to be very satisfied with the opportunity to send their students to the programs we provide. Uh Mr. Duke's favorite slide is this one where we provide a detailed breakdown of what we spent and where those fund sources came from. I want to point out a couple of things. Because this pie got smaller, the contribution from 21st century became a larger percentage of the total. Same thing is true with the elevate funds. The amount held steady but the share was larger because the total was smaller. Uh but we did contribute title one funds and special education specific funds uh this last year for the total amount that you see there down from a little more than three million the previous two or three years before this. um some conclusions for you to consider.

039We we've showed this several times. Our data holds true. In a nutshell, if you want a really simple way of saying this, if you come to summer learning, you lose less of your learning than your neighbor who doesn't come to summer learning. Summer learning shields you from learning loss. in regards to participation. We've shared this graph several times and you see a steady uptick for years and uh there's an event that I think I'm not allowed to call by name. I'm allowed to but I don't want to anyone to yell at me that happened between that 24 and 25 which resulted in uh reduction in funding for summer learning. Uh so the number of students served uh reduced by a commensurate amount. Um we have shared before the other things summer summer learning is about

040student learning but it does a whole lot for the district. Um you will see data books in a little bit. You'll see that all but one of our principles were hired from within. What you will not see in that book is that 20% of the principles working in this district have led a summer learning program over the last six years. It's a great place to learn to be a leader. Uh now we want to talk to you about our plans for summer of 26. Uh we will reduce slightly the number of days. Part of that is because we have found that starting in a half week or ending in a half week is really not beneficial. attendance is extremely low on those days. So, if we go the four full weeks of the month of

041June, that will be healthy for us. Um, we we do anticipate serving a little bit less a lower number of students this year. I did mention that there were two additional schools that do not have 21st century funding. That is Oakdale and Eastwood were did not have a renewed grant. So you see there a list of schools that have no 21st century funding. That doesn't mean they have no funds. That means we'll use some of our other fund source sources to provide services to them. Uh we at the elementary level we will be much more explicit this year about designating the morning for academics under the direction of our te our uh student literacy team and the afternoon will be enrichment across all program types. And then the other uh uh in uh fact to

042share is that uh senior leadership have approved a recommendation for um our budgeting superhero Lindsay Blevens to uh take lead for summer learning for the district and then uh several of our teaching and learning colleagues will be working with her as co-lead. I will be on the team. uh we are arguing about what I will be called in the context of summer learning. Um I think minion is a perfectly great word to use to describe my role moving forward. I do want to point out that we think the budget will be about the same as it's been as it was last year. Uh the gray and green that you see in front of you are fund sources that are confirmed at this time. There's a little more than $700,000 that is, don't hear us say

043it's missing. It's not confirmed. So, the ASAP grant is going to be released. In fact, we got the memo yesterday or today. Um, we still have special education money. We still have title funds.
