001glad somebody When Mr. James takes his seat. >> All right. We'll call to order the regular board meeting for November the 18th, 2025. Let's observe a brief period of silence and we'll follow that by reciting the pledge of allegiance. Attention. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the stands one nation indivisibley and justice for all. All right. Good evening everyone. >> Good evening. >> Board may have a motion to to adopt the November 18th, 2025 regular board meeting agenda. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. This agenda will be adopted. Board may have a motion to approve the minutes of the November 4th, 2025 regular board meeting. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. Anybody opposed? Those minutes will be

002approved. Item number five, no one has signed up on public comments, which brings us to item six,formational reports. Item seven A, we will now receive discuss the TCS AI plan. Dr. Pope, >> good evening board. >> Good evening, Dr. Pope. >> I'm going ask Dr. Young to u join me as well. Um she is the lead of our AI um artificial intelligence um initiative here in Tulsa City Schools. So we're just going to briefly go over some um information with you where we are thus far. So um thinking about 50 years ago to the day where we are looking thinking about how things changed thinking um just a black and white picture for one keep thinking about um how computers were large then we got small computers laptops looking at the music where things were

003being taught um 30 years then we end up having iPads and um we the whole big picture here is technology is moving we don't want to be left behind So we want to continue embracing where we currently are. So why AI and why now? So in Tustin city schools, we're thinking about AI is reshaping where we live, how we work, how we operate. And our whole position statement was talking about we can't run away from it. We can't be shy of it. We got to prepare our students for real world. and want our kids to be able to grow and learn and how best to do it through an AI world. So, um our goal here, the three things here, for one, empower our teachers and how that looks is to um but how things

004to make sure they lean on AI as support, not necessarily as for substitute teaching, but support and they learn through personalize their learning for each one of their students. Also ways to um engage students. AI could be an opportunity for our students to be prepared for futurereated careers. They learn more. They end up um sparking their creativity through the AI tools and the with support with the families in this integration. Our goal is to ensure that we are building trust with our um parents and our families through transparency, letting them know exactly where we are, where um our communication is clear about AI in schools, what we're operating, and how we are actually um working with AI with our students in the schools. This this part is just basically if you you um scan our

005QR code you it'll take you to a land space in TCS currently we have um created um a chatbot um through Google Gemini and like Dr. Young and Chris says making sure um we use um Gemini because it's already has parameters. It's a safe place our kids can work in, our teachers can work in. And the first one said code 504. Well, that's a chatbot that is created um for our 504 process with one of our um things that with our kids is a process for students that may have a medical condition. They have a 504 plan. Well, we have a whole 504 plan. This um group has actually fed um the information from our 504 plan whereas a teacher can actually go in and ask questions like what I what where when do I

006supposed to schedule a meeting? How many meetings should I do? Where should I work on? What does it look like for a 5044 plan for this particular student when this case is going on? So, this is one of our current TCS chat box that's um with 504. The second one uh which I I'm crazy about with the middle schools and and Dr. Young u we talked about the other day the middle schools um kids. They're taking notes and they're taking notes on lessons like say history lessons. They're taking notes on what they're learning. Well, they can feed their notes into the chatbot and they can end up creating projects. They can um end up creating powerpoints. they may end up um using like asking themselves questions, asking the chatbot questions about that particular lesson or

007topic. So, it's used as a study guide, a more creative study guide. And the third one is the um resume support and that's used here with the kids um in TCPA where they um can actually enhance their resume, building a more um advanced u resume based on the skills and the trade that they're working on here in this building. and also our education component as well. So those are charting the way of when we say charting the way this is the direction we're going on creating our chat box that will be opportunities that our people our learners but also our staff that's also learning as well can use um AI. So when we look at this progress is already underway the board you already in May of 2024 you um approved the position statement and

008that's basically saying we're embracing it. We have um a safe space. We have opportunities our people feel like they're comfortable being able to use it, not misuse it, but use it. Um staff development. We're la um launching opportunities for AI literacy courses because a lot of people need to know more about what AI is and what it looks like, how it could be um user friendly and making sure as when we say AI, is it something that is um foreign to them? If it is, let's break it down in chunks, they understand more. And then the community input like transparenc Dr. D always say we want to make sure everything that we're putting in place that we are transparent in those u opportunities that we're putting in our schools and in front of our kids

009that our um families and this part we collected input from 250 families about um our next steps with AI and then planning and partnerships. This is underway with our counselors and um where we're going with Vector. We're going to talk more about vector and for our classified um employees as well. So when we talked to our educators, the educators were um this the top concerns they had which like most educators thinking like oh AI is going the kids can end up cheating. So what student misuse academic integrity those challenges um the other part it's going to potentially lose their they end up losing their own critical thinking skills because they rely so heavily on AI and then the insufficient training and preparation time that they may have on the use of it. But um what

010they want is to have practical classroom ready tools and resources, timesaving um strategies that reduce workload and hands-on professional development with ongoing support when we look at the family perspectives and the opportunities concerns they had. And I'm just going to look at this part. Opportunities the families seek future ready skills. The whole part is want to make sure they're ready, career oriented. They're thinking ahead. We're not waiting for the future to come. We're going to be and ahead of the game and getting our kids already um career ready and more engaging um learning experiences. The con concerns they had were too much reliance on tech privacy and data security. I know most people if you hadn't heard the um in New York they started the friend we had this this um talk the other day

011about the u friend gadget that's AI friend and it actually um is around their neck and they're actually listen to that person all day long and that's probably for a person that is like it's actually called friend. So the AI is collecting data from what that person is um is going through all day who they're talking to what they're doing and it ends up understanding their habits. the ends of understanding where they what they do and how they even speak. So with that part, we um looking at what families also um need clear guidance on classroom AI, regular implementation. So making sure we keep them um involved, but also let them have workshops. We have parent nights with literacy and math. Why not also have AI nights so parents can have the opportunity to see

012exactly what we're talking about? So those workshops will um give them resources and support for what they do at home. This is our um PD plan. Um the fall of 2025 we have AI literacy courses. Um it's launched in um schooly. So we had those for on demand learning. Dr. Young is leading all this work um which we've trained teacher leaders who develop um deliver hands-on PD with their teams. So we have those leaders turn around that training and then currently in progress counselor PD is in progress and then the vector platform that we use when we um things that we have those requirement trainings that we have in vector is also there and we're exploring opportunities for um classified training and we mentioned the training asynchronous um opportunities for beginner intermediate advanced um for

013our um staff members and I think the way she set it is asynchronous where they can just jump on at their own. It's like a class a learning on demand class that they can work on. They can choose and um based on their own understanding and their own level. And when we talk about our biggest thing is engaging students and our families. um the student learning opportunity with here um we have Zello and Common Sense Media, but with our students, they're learning those digital skills through those platforms with with family engagement part those opportun input sessions that create a two-way um dialogue for parents and they have like questions and concerns. They may ask ask questions then we can actually that part can be more engaging that is person that is on hand right now

014but they can be there to support those um families when they have those questions coming soon um this is something that um Dr. Young is um is um spearheading for January 29 um January 2026. It's basically an hour of AI for our families and it will be at the Tuscaloosa Public Library on January 29th from 6:00 to 7:00. And um this is just a way to pull our parents in, get them more involved. that workshop we were mentioning with each individual school. This is such a way we can have our parents come in as a whole, our community and share those things and give them more awareness of where we are with um AI. Well, for anything that we are starting, there are also things we have to navigate and those challenges may be things

015like of course money, budget constraints, um building confidence because um on the adult side and the kids side, we got to make sure as we embrace something new, a lot of times everyone don't want to start something new, they get a little afraid. So building the confidence in where they are and the training piece we want to make sure that in everything we're doing the uh it's called retooling and those new things and things we've been doing in the past how we can sustain the training and student misuse and I know just from u my colleagues in um K12 and also in um um higher um ed that whole conversation is like how the kids not misusing or how adults aren't misusing that. So, we got to embrace that piece and and talk about what

016the challenge is so we know you're not and we use the word cheating or you're not um doing things that you copying or plagiarizing based off of what you're putting in AI and then put in your paper. So, those are some challenges we have to uh work through and then clear communication. How can we be more um clear on where we are, what we're expecting, what it looks like, and what support um is needed from our families, from our students, and from our teachers. So moving forward I'm going move to the um the um immediate steps right now finalize the platform selection for the classified training is um prepare for upcoming AI family event and um our support we need continued leadership meetings um modeling sorry modeling from all levels making sure we have a

017commitment from all of our leaders in including our board members but everybody in TCS that everyone is um on board and that's the ongoing investment, not just financial, but that investment of what support looks like so the work can move forward. Anything on that? She did share with me something else with um she want say she want to talk so I have her here with me but um she did share she was at a school today just how much the um the teachers from the training opportunities that they're having they're already embracing it and she was at Weston I want to say it was West Lon and they were talking about what one of the teachers was sharing. You want to tell the story? >> Okay, I will tell that story. It makes me get

018it. Um, so at West, we demoed uh how to code with AI and this teacher has found a way to code using this tool called PAL TA and she has uh made a sorting activity where the students can balance chemical bonds in the eighth grade and they're sorting it and she was like they get it. And so that was just a blow for me because we figured way to engage students but keep the rigor in the learning. Um at Eastwood today they turned around their AI training and one of the things that came up we were coding. So this thing called v coding how it works you tell it what you want it to do and it codes it in HTML and produces a website. So social studies teacher said hey code this uh game

019for me ancient But I want you to make it an assimilation where the kids have to pick and choose how to make this civilization work and they have to have so many points to make the civilization work. And so they have to think critically about what resources do I need in this civilization, what language, how can I communicate with people, what food resources that we have. And so I said when she finish it, let me see it so I can showcase it to you guys so you can see incredible ways that we already are paving the way and kind of transforming how students learn and think and engage with these. >> That's our um update presentation and briefing on AI. You have any questions? >> Yes, sir. >> I think it's this is sound great.

020Um have we had any feedback from parents um on how they are getting mood in it? I know you said we're going to have parent workshops and stuff, but uh we when we see technology like this, the biggest fear of the parents, oh that's not going to help my child. So I think it's important what you're saying those workshops for the parents so the parents understand they're not just playing they building jobs for the future and that's what's so important about this. >> Yes. So from that survey from the parent survey some of the things that came from it was people are a little it's scary and From that we know that people want their students safe. They don't want their uh privacy infringed upon but a lot of the feedback suggests that parents just

021don't know how these tools work and how they will work in school. That's the purpose of the family AI event. So we can tell the parents how what our what what our stance on AI is, how we are protecting our users, but they get to play around with some of the tools to see how they work so that we can kind of mitigate that fear and try to clear up some of that understanding of misunderstanding. >> Just make sure we get an invitation and we can get there get a better understanding too. >> Thank you very much for your presentation. I have two maybe three questions. The first question being uh with AI technology this vast rabbit hole that we're going to uh go down and probably never come out of which is a good

022thing. Um where do we see the roles for instance when people say that we may even use AI technologies to to lecture a classroom and in a sense teach the classroom. Um have we looked at that yet? Is that something that we haven't even kind of got to that point yet, but that may be a possibility given the the um scope of education today when trying to um qualify teachers and individuals in the classrooms. Um some are looking to replace teachers with technology and and I'm just wondering if that's a concern or thought or something that we can touch on a little later on. The second question is um professional development we've seen in the future. I mean, we've seen in the past where sometimes our our teachers who've taught for years um have not

023embraced technologies, whether it's the the use of um cell phones in the classroom, the help teacher class, use of um the various type of boards to to help teach the classroom, the lecturing pens, etc. Some of the smaller technologies there uh we we in some areas of some classroom, we kind of missed the mark. getting those teachers uh developed to where they need to be and a lot of it was based on resistance. So, how do we handle uh getting everyone on on board with this with obviously there going to be some rebuttal, there's going to be some resistance, but how do we get them into the sheep hole and then the final thing is and I'll let you all speak is um um at work I use AI technology for is translation earpiece. Um

024my Hispanics, my my my non-English speaking employees uh communicate to me in real time with um with earbud with our non-speaking English students >> uh who were in our classrooms. Have we considered using tech AI technologies to help them during the lecture so they can understand real time what the teacher presented before them without having uh without having you know that that effect on them where it's where it's not going to push them further and further behind but help them to stay on top of the game so to speak. So >> I'm going answer the first one and Dr. Young's going to chime in as well. So the first one was about the um AI replacing um the um humans. So we want to make sure um that that highly skilled teacher in front of

025them is the most important thing we want to make we we have in front of our kids. So, um I don't see us in that direction, but is where it can support but not necessarily be the um main driver. And we're like I said, we're more in our planning. We're looking at things like most we had a um um actually two was um actually presented to us and we had to pull back because of data. So most of those um AI um um devices or they have other parties that we got to be very careful on that they're collecting data. So if they're in our classrooms and they're scoping or they listening what the third parties are. So um to make that that decision we have to like ensure that data governance is is there

026um but a a person in front of them is the most important. So we would still want that to be the driving force of um teaching and learning into city schools. So that's the first thing and of course in our plan we'll put those things in place and um uh collaborate with everyone of what those actions look like when >> I do so I don't think we are there yet. I don't know if you remember people were begging to come into school because you can't replace I mean, not not yet, but I do feel like quality teaching is still needed. Um, if we see that these tools, they always accurate and you still have to be the expert to make the judgement. Even if it generates great, you still have to be the expert to

027say even with the translation with your employees if they speak for language that is not from language that's not even Spanish, you still have to be expert. And so for that question about ESL, we work very closely with our state department and department because we don't want to the work that they don't want to openly translate things where they may not have that support and so we provide scaff supportation based on the guidance. And your third question was when we got feedback from the teachers, we were very strategic about how to find tools that translate to their day. We don't put we need to help save time. How can this make you be a better practitioner? how to make you think critically about how instruction of course they just don't but one of the first

028it came or your camera is alreadyed in a lot of already even. So our our charge is to show how to learn with the tool and so that they can not deliver that very softly but we start with teachers how the tools can help them. >> Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions? All right. Thank you, Dr. Young and Dr. Pope. Thank you. >> Item 6B, we'll now hear from our CSFO, Mr. Jay Duke, where we will receive financial reports. Good evening, sir. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman, board members, superintendent, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we have the financial statements u through year end September 30th. So the end of FY25. By far the most important financial statement of the year that we bring before you is our year-end summary. And this is it. Um financial

029dashboard. Uh this this compresses down a ton of information but I think sums it up as about as simple as you can get. At least in my eyes. Of course, our 100% of our budget would be through September 30th. And I simply put that target line there, that dotted line. And in summary, our revenues were up over what we thought they were going to be by 3%. Our expenditures were below what we thought by 3%. Both of those are good. We'll get into some detail and look at Chris will go on to the um to the tax reports. Our property tax was up from what we had budgeted. That's a good thing. And we're hearing that it may be the same for FY26 as property tax collections just started back in October. And so you'll

030see the year-end number there. Compare that to the previous year it's up and compare it to the budget it was up. So property tax to the good car tag tax up slightly. The numbers aren't as big here. A lot lesser scale but again up from the previous year slightly and up a little bit above what we had budgeted. I will move on now to sales tax. sales tax was up ever so slightly real close to what we had budgeted. Uh again, it's flattened off now for about two years. You'll see those numbers there on sales tax. I just I can't help but mention that SSU tax, we're not getting any of that. That's keeping those lines flat on sales tax to our general fund management report. Of course, our target here, I'll go to expenditures

031first. Our target here, so there in the middle of the page was 100% obviously, and then you'll see 97.29 is where we ended up. We um what helped us out a lot, there were several things. Number one, we started capturing those 50 or so reductions in force. We started capturing those by attrition back in about January and February when people started retiring or otherwise leaving our system. We tried not to replace those back. So that served us well and you see that in the numbers there. Uh capital projects, we had no big capital projects and so that that kept our capital outlay number down. That's where you see the star there. So that served us well. Uh we've got some things going on this year with the roof project at Woodland Forest Elementary and a

032track replacement at uh Central High School, but that'll be an FY26. So, a couple of the projects that we did have an FY25 came in significantly under budget. The fire alarm at Northridge High School budgeted around 1.2 1.1 million came in at $660,000. Another thing that helped us was uh moving away from Brewer Porch and putting that facility at Stars. That that's several hundred,000 uh there. So that that was a huge uh net benefit to the system. I will keep going. We certainly can pause or come back to any of these numbers. This is our comprehensive um financial statement. all sources of funds. General fund on the left that we just looked at in detail, but also you'll see here our special revenue column, which is most of our federal funds. Our debt service fund,

033we pay right around 8.6 million in debt this year, our capital projects funds. What's significant about that capital projects column there, the fourth one from the left, is is that those numbers aren't big for a system our size. We've got 21 schools, 23 or 24 sites, 11,000 students. We probably have $700 million in land and buildings and our capital projects was only 3,267,000. So, um, that that serves us well, Mr. Chairman. I'll certainly take any questions, but that concludes my report. >> Question. >> Can I just ask Jay, you said this in the numbers, but can you um state to the board again how we entered this fiscal year with the deficit and then where we ended it looking at the percentages you you showed us at the beginning. Would you mind just stating that

034for clarity sake? >> Sure. Um, for example, on the the um general fund, we we started off with about um numbers dollars wise about a $9 million budgeted deficit. We were to the good about four and a half million on revenues, to the good about four million or so on expenditures. Again, that 3% that you saw earlier on both sides. That that got us to about a break even. And what that does is that extends our runway. Y'all seen that chart before in some of our work sessions. what kind of show the our reserve balance and trying to land that plane out of the COVID high I'll call it that extends that runway for about another year. So um does that kind of address that superintendent? Yeah. >> And Jay, when is the last time

035we actually did not have a budget deficit? >> It's uh it's been a while. So, um, that this is a a welcome welcome sign here to see this actual come into play like this. And and the the the the huge driver for next year will be what the legislature does with advancement in technology money. So, let me say this, that was 11.7 million. So, if that ever they ever if the clock strikes 12 on that money, that's a game changer. But we're in a position now, we've got at least a year and a half, if not two years to plan for that. So >> Jay, excellent job by you and your staff. >> They do a great job to get us to this point. Um, >> you know, you spoke a little bit about capital

036projects and and how we're either blessed or lucky because we did have those big bonding issues that that gave us the these nice new buildings. They're not going to stay new for forever. What's the outlook for capital projects say you know five years because we don't we're not setting aside funds for big capital projects. Correct. >> That's correct. And and so I know what you mean by that. And it's not that we don't want to set money aside. We have 9 mill 8.6 million in debt payments. So we um we have to put a lot of resources into paying those debt payments. So, you know, we're and we're also trying to to we do I think we do a good job of keeping up our buildings, but at some point they are going to get

037age on them. And so, uh, in the I would say in the in the one to five year range, we don't see any major um adjustments in capital projects. Now, what we will have to track is where the students are at enrollment. So, are we having a higher demand at one campus that we might need to add on? Are we having a lower demand at another campus that we, you know, do we look at consolidating two schools? So, we'll track enrollment will drive some of that will be the answer to some of that question and and growth in the city or decline in the city. So, we'll have to continue to track that and match that up with the assets that we have as far as campuses. >> Thank you, Mr. D. Thank you. Other

038questions? >> Thank you, sir. Great job. >> Thank you. >> All right. Item seven is introduction of motions, resolutions for a first reading, of which there are none. It brings us to consent agenda. We have consent agenda items 8A and 8B. Board may have a motion to approve. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. Anybody opposed? Those will be approved. Item nine, regular agenda items for final adoption. Uh 9A approve superintendent recommendations regarding changes in personnel. Dr. Cameron, good evening, sir. >> Good evening. I've got the superintendent's recommendations regarding changes in personnel. I also have a supplemental list. I'll go through both lists with you all. Starting on page one, you have three resignations, one reassignment for part-time extended day tutors, one termination of a probationary certified employee pursuant to the

039students first act, 12526 Northward High School athletic supplement removal. One, 202526 athletic or contracted coach 3, 202526 Paul W. Bryant High School athletic supplement removal. One, 2526 fall semester academic incentive removal, two 202526 fall semester academic inh academic incentive and one return from a leave of absence. on the supplemental list. You have one resignation, three new certified personnel, one transfer of classified personnel, one transfer of certified personnel, one future teachers program director teacher supplement or stipen, I'm sorry, and four 2526 fall semester mentor supplement changes. >> All right. Thank you, Dr. Cameron. Board members, are there any set aides for a separate vote? Last call for set aides. Okay. Hearing none. Board may have a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendations. >> So move. >> Second. >> We have a motion. We have a second.

040Do we have any questions? by number only, please. Hearing nothing, I'll call for a vote. All in favor? >> I. Anybody opposed? Those be approved. Thank you, sir. >> Sir, >> item 9B, discuss approved human resources early notification. Dr. Cameron. >> Yes, sir. Uh, we have the early notification for those who are planning to retire for our certified classified. This excludes the superintendent. Uh these are employees who wish to retire uh and they can give notice by January 9th, 2026. Those eligible receive a $2,000 payment. Uh payments will go out July 31st. By July 31st, 2026. It's a first come, first serve basis with 50,000 total. So that means 25 employees are eligible for this early notification incentive. >> Okay. Board may have a motion to approve. >> Some move. >> Second. >> Questions or

041discussion for Dr. Cameron? Hearing none. Uh, call for a vote. All in favor? >> I. Anybody opposed? That'll be approved. Thank you, sir. Item 9 C, discuss approve Northridge High School soccer field change of facilities request. Mr. Smith, good evening, sir. >> Good evening, board. Tonight I'm presenting the request to change one of our practice baseball fields into two regulation soccer fields at Northridge. Uh the booster club will be paying for this recommended change. Uh it will be done in two phases. The recommended time is two phases. One is to reshape and measure and add sprinkling system. Uh that phase is an estimated $90,000 and phase two will be fencing and adding equipment and things of that nature that supports uh soccer. Uh the current funds that they've raised so far is about $50,000. Uh

042estimated start time will be uh spring and summer of 2026 and all work will be subject to Alabama bid law. >> All right. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Board may have a motion to approve. >> Second. >> And Mr. Smith, no no um system funds are being used for this project. Correct. >> That is correct. >> And they're stilling ing funds to have this done. >> That is correct. >> Any other questions? >> And this will still leave everything else at the you know the other athletes will still be able to have access to the prep areas and all that just the same. >> That is correct. Actually, it's going to help enhance things because they have so many programs. Yeah, it's actually going to help both football and soccer because I understand that they practice

043field. Is that correct? >> That is correct. Yes, sir. >> Any other questions? Call for a vote. All in favor? >> I. Anybody opposed? That'll be approved. Uh 9D discuss approved Woodland Forest roofing bid. Mr. Smith. >> Okay. The happy to present the re- roofing bid for Woodland Forest. Uh bids were open on November 4th 2 at 2 p.m. The lowest responsible bidder was Advanced Roofing Solutions with a bid of $99,000. Um this is $210,000 below our uh construction budget. Uh pending approval estimated start date would be July 15th and completion date will be April 10th. Um and the scope is as presented. >> All right. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Board, may I have a motion to approve? >> So move. >> Second. >> Questions, discussion? >> Any concern that the bid is I won't

044say significantly lower, but somewhat lower than the average. >> Are they local? >> No, I think this is pretty good.
