001We'll go ahead and get started. >> Uh it's a regular board meeting of the board of trustees of the Interax District. Uh we're going to start with our pledges and then we'll start with a prayer. Uh so we'll start with the pledge of the United States. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for alliance to the one state. >> Please bow your heads. Dear father, we thank you for this day. Hey, we thank you for all these blessings, Lord. Uh we pray for this board meeting tonight, Lord. We thank you for all these students that are here and parents and families. Uh we're so proud of them. Uh we thank you for all that
002they do. Uh please give us wisdom as administrators and as board members uh for and guidance. And we pray for the beginning of the year, Lord God. Pray for safety for our kids and for all our teachers and all the other staff at Anakist in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Okay. So, we have a we're going to start with a public hearing on the 2025 2026 proposed budget and tax rate. >> Okay. So, I passed out to you. If you'll look at the fund 199, this is going to be our actual budget that we adopt or that you're going to consider for adoption. If you see we have um if you look at the 25 26 as compared to the 2425 original budget almost every line item is increased and a lot of that is due
003to the salary study that we did and the increases that were made for the teacher a lot retention aotment. So you'll see that all throughout the different areas. The only area that came down just a little bit was in function 36, which is our extracurriculars, and that one is only down by 50,000. But all the our increases are um mostly due to salary and our revenues. Even though the state, you know, projected that we were getting all this extra money, most of that has been earmarked. It's kind of been in and out. So, we really didn't receive a whole lot of extra money. So the income that we're getting is um 20 thou 20,438,000 but our total expenditures as we're estimating for this next year are going to be 21. So we're looking at a
0041.4 deficit as compared to this year that we're just wrapping up. Um, I think it was predicted that it would be a a point an $800,000 deficit at one point. At first he thought it was a $1.2 million deficit. Then it went down to 800 um million or $800,000 deficit. So this number will this would be the worst case scenario. So, we're predicting that by maybe by being frugal on any expenses that we make out of this year's or this coming year's budget, we're able to cut that number down just like we did this past year. So, worst case scenario, we're looking at a $1.4 million deficit. And some of the reasons behind it, other than the salary study that we did, was also the we hired 15 additional new staff members. all the um
005extras that were needed on all the campuses and then um with our maintenance staff. So, we've added 15 total. We still have the tennis courts that are going to be replenished. They couldn't get them the work done in time to put it on the budget for last year. So, we have to wait till September 1st, so we rolled it forward. So, it's going to go on this year. The same with the sound system. And then we also have the um band is in dire need of new instruments due to the rising number of students wanting to participate. And as you'll see, you know, they're performing very well and they're drawing people or they're drawing the kids in. We have to be able to help put instruments in their hands. And unfortunately, the instruments that the
006parents aren't purchasing are those that are over $5,000. Like there two of those are close to $10,000 each. need a couple of those new drum lines, new sound equipment. So, that's going to be another additional $100,000. And then, like I said, the um salary study and then having to maintain this campus now that it's open, it's also added to our maint. So, that's why you see all these increases. Rosie came and met with me today and she wasn't alarmed. In fact, she she said it was fine because our phone balance has grown to the point where if we don't do something to whittle dwindle it down just a little bit, then the state's going to come looking at us because it keeps we keep growing it. And our goal is to break even, not make
007a profit every year. And our fund balance is now at we could operate probably for about a whole year without having to close our doors. any additional funds that we're only supposed to keep up to six months. So, we are well um well prepared for anything happening and um we we'll be okay even if we do have to do a 1.4. Do you have any questions about this? >> Any questions for the board? any comments from >> uh we're very proud of Tammy. This is a big deal. I mean, this is her first time to do this and uh it's a she's doing a great job. We all knew that she's highly intelligent. I mean, she's a math teacher, you know, so uh she's great with numbers, but this is this is a big deal.
008And a lot of it's a moving target. I mean, a lot of it's conjecture. We don't know what interest rates will be. We don't know what the enrollment will be. there's a lot of factors that we don't control, but as she pointed out, because I did go in a couple of times u and and and kind of just to fill the room a little bit as she and Rosie worked on that and um and Rosie who's, you know, did this a long time successfully and you know, she squeaks when she walks, she was not at all uh concerned about this deficit because of uh what Tammy said. I mean, literally, you could operate with a deficit just like this. Not that this district will because we'll immediately go to work on reducing it, but you
009could do this for about I think uh Ros said about seven years in a row if not that anybody would do that, but just to let you know uh you know I guess there are some organizations that could be on a financial cliff with you know when they say they're running a deficit. Well, this organization is far from that. In fact, it's the the wisdom of this board uh and y'all being so frugal and Rosie and Mount Tammy that this this uh school district is in great financial shape as far as being able to uh fund the needs of the students. And Kim said something right before the meeting and and and Tammy already alluded to it. This is not a for-profit deal. You're not supposed to be adding money to that. What you're supposed
010to be doing is you're supposed to be um you got these little ones sitting out here and the money that's being the revenue that's being raised because the taxpayers are paying their taxes. They expect that money to go to these little ones. They don't expect these little ones to be graduated and then three years later you say, "Well, we got, you know, this $3 million line here. Let's see what we can do with it because it doesn't help those children any." So, I really appreciate what Tammyy's doing. We appreciate all the support that y'all give her and our whole administrative team. And then if you'll look at the fund 240, that is our cafeteria fund. That's on the second page that I gave you. That one is the goal for this one is this is
011the food service program that Tiana runs. And our goal is to basically break even the same as with our 199 budget, but she's predicted to um spend about $1.3 million. and she's her estimated revenue that she's going to bring in is probably going to be close to 1.5. That's provided she doesn't have any equipment failures along the way or some big expense happens. But um all of our kids eat free and so any local money that she gets is if they go to the snack bar, they buy um extra lunches or whatever. The state money that she gets is from food commodities. And then um the the food program is basically run by the federal government. And then 599, this is our bond fund. And so um we're predicted to bring in 4.7 million and
012then we're just going to turn around and pay that on our bond debt. So this is our amount that you're seeing there. >> We did we mentioned enrollment. The enrollment is almost to the child the exact same as it was last year. for this time of year. I do believe it's 1541. I think that sound right 42 >> and um you know kids are not students are not money but there is a business side to the district and I think you're looking at for round numbers you look at roughly 10,000 per student although some students you know generate more revenue than others and um you know potentially we'll still add students during the course of the year. Now, if the interest rates do drop, which they're talking about doing that, then you'll see some homes
013uh right now. I haven't seen any homes being framed up, you know, but I think they've always been ready to frame up some more and and sell some more homes if the interest rates will Mr. Banker if the interest rates will get better, right? Is that kind of how that works? >> Exactly. >> Yes, sir. And so, um, she's giving you conservative figures or trying to because it is a crystal ball situation, but she's trying to give you conservative figures. That's without any enrollment growth. And um you may recall that poor math, you know, he had his hands full last year because he was trying to figure it's it's a very very difficult thing. At one point we thought it might be $1.5 million deficit. Then finally, I think he settled on about 800. It
014ended up being about a $350,000 deficit now. >> Okay. >> And some of that too is because of the money that we have balancing. It is also drawing interest and those rates are higher right now. And so we're getting almost um a million dollars this past year in interest that helped to offset deficits that we had. >> All right. So this is uh not something we vote on. We just yeah move on to the next topic uh with this recognition. >> Mr. President, I do believe we have some special guests here tonight. I know Mr. Conferris and uh Mr. Kier is this y'all's part of the show here. >> Can I talk about the band? >> Well, sure. Please do. >> Introduce them and they can introduce their kids. So, >> yes, ma'am. >> The
015the middle school band last year for remember those of you who went to University of Houston and watched their performance. Once we were able to find where they were performing, it was very hard to find the bill they were performing and went in and heard their performance. It was wonderful. Mr. came to me and said, "Hey, we're going to send these performances off, these recordings off and see if we can make the this national selection." He said, "Ah, we're just going to send them. It's just going to be I said, "Yeah, yeah, just go for it. Go for it." Well, they chose 12 bands out of the nation of all sizes. Not just, you know, 2A would get selected, 5A get, 12 out of the nation. And Anak was one of the 12 competing all
016sizes. So that's awesome. They were selected. I said, "Of course you were selected. You didn't think you'd be good." Yeah. It just keeps getting better and better and keep meeting all those standards of the kids and practicing hard classroom and it's just there's not in this moment where they're not doing what they need to be doing to get there. I'm just so proud of you. But um all three of you I mean you >> Indianapolis she already basically said if we send in it's not like It's not like a three round system like the other competition. Uh we they didn't tell us how many bands, but again, bands from like the Houston area, Kat Cypress Bear Banks, Leander, any of the Dallas suburbs, the ones that have all the uh resources to have really, really
017good bands. We went up against that size, those size bands across the entire nation. what she said only 12 bands were selected and my friend he went through the entire list and he realized that we were the only small school our size I got for this recognition so it's not a competition we didn't win it we won our opportunity to perform at this very very prestigious event so there's that one talk about the other one >> there was a second there was a second >> there was a second competition. I'm so sorry. Um, so we've won this competition in the past. We've only won the concert portion twice. Um, our school hasn't never there's a march portion where you play a march and then you and then there's also a concert portion of this contest.
018And we've never won the march. That was my goal. I've never won the march before. So for me, I wanted to win the march. Um, but they ended up winning the march. This is against schools our size across the state. And so the kids won the march portion and they also won the concert portion. So never been done before by our school. So they they did they did really really good. [Applause] honors man last year. Come on. >> How to get them all together, but >> yeah, maybe the front row. >> Can I get my top people in the very very back, please? Two rows and not you. >> Let's do it. that way. >> Thank you. Please >> call. Oh, we don't. >> Yes, we do. >> Yes, I will be as we are.
019>> Young lady in the purple. We can't see you. Good job. Yes sir. >> So obviously with that success leads to a lot of pressure for myself because Mr. Contrarus now has the expectation that when those students come up to high school, they uh not only have the same experience but continue that experience. And so last year being my first year just trying to figure out head above water, figure all the things out about leading a program for the first time and doing all that stuff well. We competed well and did all of that. We went to the same uh recording venue with the high school students. They performed at the same concert together and so we used the same uh recordings for the competitions as well and uh they advanced also to the outstanding
020performance series uh contest that Mr. Contreras referenced and they had two concert pieces that advanced to the state final. So give them a round of applause for that. And so like we talked about that those are the pieces that compete against each other. So they won the region round, went to the area round, won two out of the three area placements that you could win for that and then went on to the the state round for that. And then also uh the middle school was not eligible for this contest this year because uh they won it last year. So you have to wait a year. Um but we were able to compete in what's called the honor band process, which a lot of you are probably familiar with. And so, uh, the high school band
021and their recordings, um, made, uh, the state finals, uh, for the first time in 3A. And the last time they did, uh, was when, uh, back in 2016, I believe, where they placed 12th. And before that, the highest placement they uh, received was sixth as a 2A school. And so for the first time in school history, the highest placement that the high school wind ensemble uh placed was fifth in the overall TMEA honor band process. So give them a round of applause. So come on up and get get recognized, get your picture. >> So these guys I want to just say a little something. These guys have worked all summer in the heat and every well what every evening they have some kind of rehearsal. >> Yes. >> And I haven't heard any of them
022complain about it. And I don't know if you've heard our band lately, but they are pretty phenomenal. >> And um not all of y'all were together at convocation. It wasn't the whole band or was the whole band? >> It was the whole band. So Mr. Salazar, assistant principal, is coming from a sixth grade school district and he said they sound better and louder than his fans at the other school. That's incredible guys. Y'all are hard workers and it is showing and paying off. Good job. >> Say thank you. >> Thank you. >> And while Mr. is getting us set up. Both programs are still uh in the running for the foundation of music education award. That's a uh citation of excellence and um we should hear back from that within the next couple of weeks
023whether we're uh awarded those awards or not. ready. >> Thank you. [Applause] staff. >> Who's the next contestant? Do we have um so so um Kim the other principles? They don't have any students. No more students that I know of. Just stand. >> Okay, just stand. >> I will go first. How y'all doing this evening? Look, this is the uh hardest part of my job, talking in front of people. I I hate it. I hate it. But um so far, uh this school year, unless I'm naive, I think it's off to a a really good start, and I have u my teammates to thank for that. So, um, Miss I'll start with Miss Burns, like because you know, curriculum and education, that's what our students are here for. Miss Burns, she got all our curriculum
024stuff together, um, this summer. She had our teachers come up for uh, training so that they can look over the curriculum and start their planning process. And, um, it takes a big deal of work to do that. And she took time out of her summer to come up and do that. And I I really appreciate that. And the teachers appreciate that. Um, again, when I came in, it's like, oh my gosh, what all do I have to do and I didn't really have to know it all cuz my people, they knew what I needed to get done and they make uh make sure it happened. So, Miss Burns, thank you for all that you did to get us ready. Um, Miss Jordan, our master schedule, I hear it's a pretty tough task, but when I
025got here, it was already done. I mean, she had to plug in some holes here and there, um, you know, once we got started to see where everything was, but she took time to make sure that that was that was ready to go. And again, she scheduled our paras where they were supposed to be. So, Miss Jordan, I appreciate you getting that ready for us. >> Thank you. >> All right, Miss Rich. Miss Rich, when we were getting ready for um meet the meet the teacher and all those things, like all the forms that we needed, all the documentation that we needed to give out to the parents so that they can have that. Miss Rich, she was um very instrumental in getting all of that stuff taken care of. I tell, you know, my
026I told everybody that I'm not creative at all, but this is one one of my creative people on the campus. So, um Miss Rich, thank you for all you did to get us going. Miss Richards. I'm a little upset with her right now. >> Maybe a lot of upset with her, but she got us together before she decided to change spots on us. Sorry. >> But um >> no, no, she uh she got every everything ordered for us that we needed. Um, again, she just she just did it and I was like, "Oh, we needed that." Okay. >> So, thank you for all you did to get us up and going. >> Miss All Country right here. Um, car rider tag. She went, plugged in and found all the students and um got all of
027that stuff together. um you know she got some help a couple of days but she she got it all done so that when you know our parents showed up they were able to get all of that. So thank you Miss Allwell and just thank you all for all y'all do every day and all y'all did to get us ready to start a good school year. Thank y'all. [Applause] I'm not short. Okay, >> short, especially with mine. >> Well, we feel like we're off to a great start also over at the elementary. Um, and I wanted to recognize tonight some of the some of the faces behind everything that goes on there. They don't always get the recognition, but they're always the first ones to step up to help. You'll see them at E the Teacher,
028working tables. Anytime we need something, we go to them and ask. They're always willing to help. So, um, English, she's our 504 coordinator. She also teaches dyslexia. She's also picked up this year because we had a need some resource classes. um Melissa Deppy, she's our RTI reading interventionist and Callie Yarro, she's our math RTI interventionist. So, um these are true leaders for our campus. They they are always ready to step in wherever they're needed, supporting our teachers, answering questions for parents, and lending me their help without hesitation. Much of what they do happens quietly behind the scenes without any recognition. These ladies are our priceless treasure for AES and not only to the students that they serve, but to the teachers and staff who count on them every day. Thank you for all you do.
029Your dedication makes AES a better place for all of us. [Applause] >> Yes. I'm back. So, we have a a team that uh leads our PDIS, positive behavior um supports. And these five people have put in a lot of work um over the past couple years. And this is a task that can be challenging because you are really trying to focus on those things that build kids up and not always just hammering on the the negative, but trying to put uh behaviors and expectations across the campus and catch kids doing what's right. And so these people um people I'll call your names in a minute. These uh put their heads together a lot, met during the summer, okay, where are we going to how are we going to focus this year? you know, what kind
030of things are kids going to want to do? What what things are we looking for to try to build the the campus as a community to look for those things? So, they put a lot of time and effort into um just positive behaviors. Miss Hosyen, Miss Black, and Miss Cley need to come up. And then we have Coach Bas and Coach Cox that couldn't be here tonight. appreciate everything that you do because they they we have a system of an app that's called um live school. So when you catch a kid doing something right like I'm always so like you met your AR goal, we're going to give you points. No tardies, you're going to get points. Perfect attendance, you're going to get points. Helping somebody out, you're going to get points. Um just self-control,
031points. You're being kind, you're going to get points. um honest. You're not wrong. You're honest. Give you some points for that. Now, you're going to have consequence for that other, but just give you some points for being honest. But it's time to build um a culture of doing what's right. And so, when you accumulate so many points, you get to cash those in for something. Maybe it's a popcorn party during home run to six weeks. Maybe it's a popsicle. Maybe it's um a croc that you want for your crops. Just something to have them working towards a small [Applause] Thank you. Thank you. >> So, we're off to a start. Also a good start. Um, but as you all are aware, there's been a lot of new things, new people at the high school in
032the office. Um, and there's a lot to get ready for the new school year. We have new graduation requirements that we have to look at, dual credit, and then just getting the new school year up and going for our kiddos. Um, and then there have been two people very instrumental in making this year happen so smoothly as it has, Miss Up. [Applause] Miss Janice has helped me and Miss Dagel meet with pretty much every individual child to make sure that they're getting what they need for their CTE pathway and graduation requirements. She gave up her off time to do this with our kiddos and I'm just so appreciative of you and everything that you do. If you want to know somebody who loves our kids, it's her. >> Absolutely. And then Miss Majors. Well, basically,
033you know, she runs the campus, right? That's the rule the role. The campus principal secretary runs the campus. And I don't know what we would do without you, Miss Majors. Today, she was out for for an appointment. And I'm telling you, it wasn't the same. So much so, your card is different because I don't know where the cards are if you didn't give me one for you. >> But Miss Major, >> I know. But Miss Major has been our guiding light. She tells us how things have worked in the past and then whenever we bounce ideas off of her well could it work better this way she'll say maybe or think about this. Um she just is thank you in her words. Thank you. [Applause] Okay. Is that all the recognition? >> All right. Uh
034y'all are free to go, so to speak. If you want to go, that's just fine. Um so, thank you all for coming. We appreciate y'all. Uh we would also like to say for those of me, it's fine, too. So, We have no public comments. Uh so that will take us to I'm going to kind of bear with me for a moment here. I'm going to kind of move around just a little bit. Uh I'm going to move to item on discussion items at the very end uh to uh Senate Bill 413 recording of meetings. And I understand you're going to explain that to us. Is that correct? >> Yes, sir. So, um, basically I think we just need a audio recording of meetings starting September 1st. So, this is kind of a test to see
035if what I've set up will work. And it's only audio. Uh, this webcam is just cuz it has a better uh microphone than this one on this Chromebook. And we may end up having to go to a better one. That's another that's why we're testing to see what we need to get to have clear audio. Um, so people that want to listen can listen and actually hear what's going on. Um, but so we're just kind of playing it instead of an there's an image on like a recording, but it's just like a static image that tells people what the meeting the date and stuff. So when they're watching it, even though it's just audio, they could tell which one they're watching. And then um when we go into executive session, we'll kill the audio because
036we just we don't even want to record this the general public for that, however long that is. and there it'll change and show a new graphic so they know that's that's why there's no audio. We just turned it off. And then when y'all come back, we'll just click a button and it'll come back on and go back like to normal. So, u that's pretty much it. Um just kind of testing it out today. It's not really required, but I wanted to see how it went and uh get ready for the the mandatory recording that we need to do. >> Okay. Well, thank you. Any questions about that uh from the board? >> Do we get to vote on who who has to sit by it? >> Well, it seems about you. >> It's looking like
037me. >> hear hear you clearly. >> Very nice. >> It could be like the opening show >> and so it may not pick them up. I don't know. >> Mr. President, I was thinking if the graphic ever goes down, could we just turn the camera on Mikey and just during the meeting? >> Yeah, that would be perfect. That'd be great. >> Sorry. >> Everybody will see him do that the whole time. And while we're there, we're we've already they've discussed the uh the the possible van trips. Um and so they discussed that actually there. So, okay. So, that's going to move us now to monthly reports. I'm going to move down to bond update because we have Holly with us. And so, Holly, if uh if you can go ahead and go, please. >> I
038don't really have a lot to say, but I didn't want you to forget who I was. Um, but we're wrapping things up. They've got the commissioning mount completed here at this building. And I think the middle school has the concession for the park has arrived. So, we've got them set up. I think midepptember was the first action that you said. Um, so we got them all ready for all the activity over there. Um, I was brought out um this last week to take a look at the gate next to the middle school um that was had a run in with the bus or vice versa. And um we're looking at getting that fixed right away and we got an estimate from Duratech to do that work. the their um fencing guy and the gate guy
039that did the operation center fencing is going to um repair that gate and our estimate was >> about 20,000 to get that gate fixed. We don't have an exact number. I just asked them for a ball park and so >> Holly we're going from a swinging gate the only swinging gate in the district which was actually swinging into traffic to a slider like all the rest. >> Correct. I was just getting there. So now we're going to have a sliding gate that will function well for a long long time and and it costs a little more than replacing it with a swing gate, but I think that was um is probably the right decision to so that that will never be an issue because we had thought about swinging it the other direction, but if
040you ever had traffic coming from the other way, it' be the same song second verse. So, um, so we'll get firm numbers for that if if, um, that's where y'all want to go. There's plenty of money left in the elementary, middle school, and high school renovation budget to cover that repair. Um, and so we can take care of that and not have y'all have to work up. >> Paul, this may not be the time to mention it, but that box, we need to make sure that doesn't disappear because it's probably a high dollar item, >> right? And I don't know what we're going to do with it, but we just need to make sure it doesn't disappear or end up in somebody's ranch or something because if anything, if we liquidate it, it needs to
041be the money goes back to the school or whatever. I don't know what do they may have some idea of somewhere other place we could use it or something. I don't know. >> And if you want them to salvage the gate, they're not going to reuse it. Obviously, >> we could give it to the department, let them straighten it out. And of course, Tammy would have to make sure it's legal, but maybe we could let them straighten it and we could find a legally way to sell it or whatever. >> Or they could repurpose this metal or whatever. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Recycle it. Um so we have that on the on the um in the works. Um the other thing is um I got a call concerning um the admin building. It is still
042the only building that doesn't have a secure entry. And so I was looking at some options for us to be able to provide that security for that building and that which would could be easily part of the bond because that security those security measures were part of the bond. Um and so we're looking at creating a a vestibule in the front and um we're just beginning on that process so I can come back next month with some um some visuals so you can see what what it is that we're looking at. We're just starting to to look at options um on creating that residue which will fix things in the short term, long term. Um there was some discussion of maybe moving admin um over to unused portion of the elementary school and we're looking
043at that. Um and what other options might be in the district and nothing is is settled yet. And so those options I can bring next month as well um to term stuff because it's um probably going to be pretty pricey to do, but it would be something that we can start a discussion about of what the bids the future is going to look for. One of my concerns at the elementary school moving them over there is those spaces will need to be elementary school spaces at some point in the not too distant future. that we hate to mess them up too much. Um, and then have to move everybody again. But we're looking at it and it might be there is a great place for an entrance for admin over there. Um, and it it
044could work out really well if um, depending on what the long-term goal is. So, we can bring all those options either to a workshop or back to the board meeting, whatever you all decide to do, just let them know. So, that's what we've been working on. >> Ice machine. of the ice machine in the um operations center is is loud and is disruptive during um training I understand. So we're looking at um finding a quieter one. Um or they also make one that has the condenser that's on the top which is where the noise comes from that's remote you hear on the roof. And so we're looking at options. Um I really don't want to put a penetration through the roof if we don't have to. >> Um but um But we'll find a solution
045and fix that. And then we'll find a new home for the the one that's there. So we have a spot in the admin work. >> So anyway, so that's all I have. >> Um but I I guess I'll come back next week and next month. I mean, if y'all are ready for me, just let me know and or if we're going to do a workshop and go through all the if >> and her sidekick, Jerry, very quickly suggested that we consider one of these beam doorbells on the front of the admin building. So, we did that. It's been kind of a running joke. Bought the best one that Home Depot had $229. You know, the one that's got a battery in it, not the one you wire. And um it's uh it's been a little
046bit difficult. I've never messed with those ones and I haven't messed with this one. Everybody else almost at this table has had to jack with it try to make it work with some assistance from maintenance. But um anyway, right now you can't generally speaking you can't just walk into the admin. That was a great suggestion by Jerry that we that we do that because the door's locked right now while she's running the traps and we can come back to re, you know, recommendations um or she can. And we did have a good um a good meeting, you know, so we're exchanging a lot of ideas trying to do some, you know, do some homework so that your job won't be quite as hard when comes time for the decision making. >> Yeah. And we can
047come with facts next time and then y'all can just >> We appreciate you allowing us bounce all kinds of different ideas and how you think out of the box, but not just that, but keeping like the uh you know the integrity of the buildings in terms of the facades and things like that. >> My pleasure. >> All right. Well, thanks again. I guess I get to come back again. >> Yeah. Thank you again. >> Thank you. >> Be careful. >> All right. >> I got to tell y'all real quick when she was at that meeting, we all thought that she had a bruise on her face. She had chocolate on her face. She didn't realize it till she got out to the car and she said, "Dad, tell me they could have told me I
048had chocolate over there." >> I was talking to my daughter on the phone and I was putting this on and I went, "Oh my god, I ate a to be honest. It was in a candy bar. I thought you just stole one of Cody's pieces. >> Glad you're okay. Can you be wiped off? >> Thank you. >> All righty. >> Uh, okay. So, now we're going to go back to the top of monthly reports and item A, superintendent report. >> Thanks, Mr. President. So, um, you know, y'all are always, uh, commending employees and students, and I I wanted to commend y'all, um, you know, as a interim, someone here who's here temporarily, although I'm sure for y'all it's starting to seem like eternity or whatever, but, you know, it's pretty cool to see y'all um,
049so enthusiastically recognizing staff members because that takes, you know, that takes some time at the beginning of each meeting. And the value of that is so obvious because like when Rebecca was talking about the ladies and how much she appreciated them and precisely why she appreciated them, we learn and you learn specific things that you would not know otherwise. So it's really a good investment in in time and it's a good show of respect for your uh your teachers and your or your employees rather and your students and not all districts do that because it is a big time commitment for y'all. And um I'm not going to give this to you now because I learned that trick a long time ago as a teacher. You don't hand hand do the handouts, but then when
050you have more stuff to say, the uh the folks are rifling through it. But um this is really cool. Um I want to brag on Nikki Schneider, who's our PE lady. Last year was a fiasco, right guys? When you went to take the picture, you stood in line for like 45 minutes or something crazy, right Tiana? >> Tiana, we got a new cell phone rule. You're not supposed to be having yourself a hard time. >> No, I know you're busy. Trust me, >> it's outside of the instruction. >> Yeah. Hey, Tiana. But we had to wait a long time to get these pictures last year, right? Remember that? >> So, anyway, this year, Nikki did a great job of making sure those people brought what was it? Two or three photographers this time? Two. >>
051Two and told them they were on the chopping block. >> She told them. Yeah. So, let me tell you, they were doing a good job this year. But these pictures are beautiful. their camera is I don't know if this uh it's yeah the quality of these pictures is is wonderful and I want you to have one of these because really it could be argued obviously the students are the most important thing but as far as y'all are concerned and even us administrators are concerned the only way we really get to impact students positively is through these people and so this may be the most uh important document that I could ever hand to you is the you know pictures of these people that they're serving our students and I know y'all love them so much
052and um because of the way you treat them and so I want to give you that in just a second. Um I'm going to talk about two or three things and then Daniel's going to do the superintendence report. He's going to talk about some really technical things. Uh uh I did want to say we I think everybody enjoyed that TSL um training with Morgan and one of the things y'all busted me on. Thank goodness rightly so. >> Tell what TSL is. >> Okay. Texas strategic leadership initiative that we're doing and um Daniel is going to give a comprehensive report. Dr. Redmond uh wants us to be sure that every month we give a meaningful and not just a check the box report on TSL. He sees it uh as we all do. He sees it
053as a means of us adding some much needed structure and uh discipline and um uh what is it? Intentionality, if that's even a word, where we're very intentional about improving and we need some systems and we're bringing in other systems as well, but that's kind of the the biggest one that we're bringing in. So, um, when we had that training with Morgan, one of the things that came up was the steering committee and the fact that Cody, I don't have any explanation for this, did not put lead teachers on the steering committee. And it was in the interest of uh, it's not a good excuse, but it was in the interest of, you know, making it something to where, you know, it was streamlined and wasn't too intrusive and interrupting everything. But in all honesty,
054my very first impulse when we started talking about it, and Daniel and I talked about it, I'm sure, uh, was to get the ownership of the teachers. So Mikey and others pointed out, hey, it's kind of hard to do that when they're not on it. So, thank y'all so much for caring enough to challenge us, and y'all were absolutely right. So, we have um, we asked the principles to each give us three lead teachers. And I probably said this to more than one principal, and I I was thinking it. I don't remember if I said it or not, but yeah, I want somebody who's an outstanding teacher and effective in the classroom, but it also needs to be a positive and charismatic person as well. Uh because we we really uh we need to all
055get behind this. We need to be pulling together, right? And so Daniel will probably share the names. I think I text those to you earlier, Daniel. >> Yes, sir. The names of those 12 teachers and um because they're outstanding teachers. So, he's going to give you detail on TSL and do us a full report on that. In the meantime, on my little goal report, I did want to say that as we've discussed, we have asked the principles and they're on board and I've asked Tammy to make sure she puts the money in the budget, which she's on board and she has done it. attendance. Rosie was, you know, working with uh Tammy today and she mentioned to me, Cody, if you want to affect this deficit, you can improve the attendance in this district. And
056I said, well, it was pretty actually pretty decent last year at 95%. She said, yeah, but it needs to be 96 point something. I said, no, no, no. You're right. But honestly, relative to some districts, 95 is not bad. You know what I'm saying? It's just good and it needs to be better. And so, uh, y'all may recall that we brought in Rhonda Smith and we visited with her, uh, with the counselors about, um, improving the attendance. And of course, the main reason you're proving attend attendance is for the well-being of the child academically and socially and emotionally. This is the safest, best place they could be, you know, and um, so then you also, it's a financial thing as well. Uh, so so anyway, we're going to work on that. And I guess what
057I was trying to say is Tammy is going to pay for these principles to go back to in uh attendance incentives. Now, some of them were already kind of doing that, but they were probably doing it on on the cheap a little bit more than they wanted to. And so Tammy, she's not going to let me down. I know even though she's talking about that deficit stuff, she's going to make sure she funds that uh real well. So that's going to be big. The second thing, and we can talk about a lot of things, but the second thing I wanted to mention was with accelerated reader. We've all been there. We've all seen people set goals too high. We've all seen it used in an abusive, oppressive way. No one on our team wants to
058ever see it used that way. And these principles are on guard. If you ever have kind of a rogue teacher who goes off and starts setting these unreasonable goals and hitting the kids over the head with accelerated reader, that's not what we want to do. We have the bank has raised 30 some odd thousand dollars to help us purchase books. We want to push independent reading. We want to push literacy across the district. So once again, these principles are going to revive just like in the good old days when there was by and they're already do they've been doing a lot of this. Let me tell you something. I was kind of selling them short. I think I have told y'all flat out that I was a little bit disappointed and I probably didn't use
059the word disappointed, but that I really I really wanted to see it blow up more with the excitement and everything behind it, but then I understood it was the first year we were bringing it back. So, it was okay. But really, when I sat down with Dana and others and found out what they did to incentivize accelerator this year, they actually did a lot more than even I knew. So, they're they're doing some uh great things, but they're they're doing it with limited resources. So once again, Tammyy's going to help them with that. And you know, part of this is putting the putting pressure on them and their parents. You know, competition is great. Like this morning, I get on my little bicycle in my little driveway headed over to the bus barn. It's pitch
060black and those children, I can see them in the the foyer is lit up over there at the middle school. And I'm assuming, I don't know, Lena, they're volleyball girls. I don't know. I couldn't tell if they're boys or girls. I just saw these bodies moving in that foyer and I was like, "Wow." And it's 6:00 a.m. and those parents are dropping those kids off. Why are they doing that? They're doing that because isn't it a beautiful thing for them to be involved in competition and to to work work, you know, it's not even work is not bad when you're doing something you're passionate about and when you are working as a team to achieve a goal. And so we need we need to continue to have that spirit. uh academics, you know, uh continue
061to uh be competitive. You know, technically we're not competing with these chambers, but dead gummit, let's pretend we are. It's fun. Uh and if if we have some scores that are higher than theirs, you know, here and there, then we offer to help them. We we visit with them. If they have scores that are higher than we do, we we ask them, hey, can we come visit you? That's what Dana was talking about doing, going over to visit uh East Chambers because some of their scores are really good and they've worked really hard just as our teachers have. But um anyway, just kind of wanted to talk about that and also to mention the third thing and this is the last thing I'll talk about is the after school programs and some of the passion
062coming back to that because there was a time when uh the buses the the tutorial buses some people call them tutorial buses but anyway um tutorial buses were a lot more full than they are now and um and our after school programs were a lot more robust. And so what the principles and I have talked about and this applies largely to Erica, Dana, and Lena, much more so than it does with Rebecca's crew because that's kind of a different type of tutorial usually with them. You know, that's where you have the algebra teacher who just has the heart of gold and she stays after and works with her algebra students, etc., etc. I'm talking about the time when you may be tutoring kids that at the at uh Lennena's campus in theory might not even
063be your student during the day, you know, and you're making a wage. I think it's $35 an hour because, you know, last time I checked, Mikey, when they ask y'all to work over out there at the plant, you don't say, "Well, I love this place so much I'm going to do it for free, right?" I mean, we're all trying to make a living here and feed our families. And so, we appreciate the fact that y'all compensate our teachers for extra work, you know, when it makes sense. Uh but they all understand that salary employees the teachers are that you know they're not looking like union eyes like they're getting want to get paid for every second but you know fair is fair and so we appreciate the fact that y'all appropriate that. So I probably
064rambled enough about those things but to me the thing that those three things have in common is just to to fight and to compete and to bring that energy back in. And we're trying to do Tammy has stepped up uh you know uh as business manager and said yes I will provide funding for that. So, we're excited about that. >> I mean, and it really is a lot of the things that we have been talking about for a while, they do fall right in line with those things. I mean, you know, it's it's one of those things we've been talking about uh TSL for so long now. It's nice to actually be doing something with it. And so, we did have that first meeting. We had it right here and Morgan came over from Regional
0655 and Katie. So, they got to use the projector and everything. So, that was nice. Of course, they just raved on how nice this building was. Um, but it um, so the people that made up that initial meeting were our campus administrators. Um, and also we had Mrs. Burns here. Uh, we had Miss Troder, Miss Cunningham, basically our district leadership team. Um, and then the teachers that will be joining us here in a couple of weeks for our next meeting at the primary, Mrs. Nelson, Hargus, and Brent. Uh, the elementary the ones that were here getting recognized. Heni Yarborough and Deppy and then at the middle school another getting recognized Hoy Brandon and Paige and then at the high school Mrs. Vaughn, Mrs. Jenise and Miss Lewis. So, you know, those are some solid names
066that you hear a lot of tenur experienced teachers. Um, and so, uh, that's what the principles were looking for, you know, tenured and and lots of different experiences. And so we'll be jumping back into that in a couple of weeks. Uh right now what we are doing is uh we are collecting blank assignments from each grade level. uh our reading, language arts, and math. And we will submit those to our region five team, and they will begin to evaluate those um and evaluate them versus the TE's and what we're supposed to be teaching and when to make sure the pacing, the scoping sequence, and all of that is alive uh to make sure that we're doing what we're supposed to be doing to help our kids, you know, be where they need to be. So,
067that's a great first step. And so, they call those our artifacts. So, uh, the next step will be digging in a little bit more. And so, uh, that's where we are right now on that. And again, in a couple of weeks, we'll have another steering committee with everybody, the committee, and then the teachers coming in to join us. Um, we also have something else we've been talking about. Uh, Mr. Wink, John Wink, uh, is going to be joining us on the 4th. So, that's next week. He's going to be here all day, uh, meeting with our district, uh, administrative team. uh going through his trainings on uh digging in down not just to the TES but like to the different standards uh those readiness supporting standards uh so that we can really drill down to
068make sure that we are maximizing and emphasizing what we need to uh into the classrooms uh and also shout out to the education foundation for that because they are the ones that we are partnering with to bring in uh Mr. And so we're very thankful for them uh and what they're doing. >> That's 10,000. >> Yeah, it's a it's a substantial amount of money and um we got a little bit of a plan. Um we've already talked about maybe next year if they're fortunate enough to get another donation looking at ways to uh beef up our PLC's. And so these things are kind of lining up. Uh another thing we've got coming is u I think it's on Wednesday. Yeah, the 27th we have our training for our initial NWA map growth testing. Uh all
069of the teachers that are going to be leading out on that will be trained. Um and then our first testing window for that starts in midepptember. So we'll be able to start getting a lot of uh active and up-to-date data. So again, we know exactly when we need to be uh reaching out to help our kids. And so that's mid to uh late September there. Another thing that I was thinking about u you know as Tammy was going through the the update of course you know when you see anytime you see a deficit budget we're all thinking okay what can we do well one thing um that I met with Mrs. Cunningham today. Uh she's our new director of federal and special programs as we are being a lot more active in seeking out grants.
070Uh one grant uh that it's it's through region five, but it's al also part of the lasso grant. Uh there's been three or four cycles of that which kind of combines uh curriculum and just overall leadership, but it's uh it's dealing with a uh a robust mentorship program. Uh which this can also lead to a grow your own type program. Uh and so that uh grant is going to be due I believe December 1st, but Miss Cunningham uh is really digging into that. And when we were looking at that position going through the spring, you know, with Miss Bertrram retiring and it's one of those things we we tried to evaluate the position to see, okay, is there any way that we can maybe serve our staff and students better? Well, taking some of the
071testing responsibilities off of that position. Our goal is to uh is is for Miss Cunningham to help us with those grants, both federal and state. So, she's already really digging in uh because it's there's a lot of money out there, but it's really meticulous. You got to know where to look and you got to know exactly the the right forms. And so, she's really digging into that for about all my throat. >> Okay. All right. Any questions from the board for superintendent? >> Okay. Thank you. So if I may, Mr. President, I'll go ahead and pass it down. >> Now that I didn't want to do it while Danny was talking either because it was like, okay, if you don't want to do it while you're talking while >> I will say, Doc, that with
072those grants, I do know there it would have been nice having somebody who's watching that because you got to follow those to a tea and if you don't do the steps exactly right, they'll a potential for them to want their money back and you got to honor the way the grants are structured. I mean, that's >> you know how those work. >> Yeah. It's short windows, but you can apply. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, good point. >> Okay. Report on district enrollment. I guess you kind of already mentioned that, I think. >> Yeah, that's right. I guess we from this. Okay. And then we have monthly principal monthly reports. Uh, anything to add to those or you'll have it in there. Okay. Thank you. And now uh back to you Tammy with our financial reports.
073>> Um on this page that handed to you where we highlighted this is your uh the budget that was adopted last year. And if you look in the very first column or actually third column on here talks about the revised budget for 24.5. If you see um last year your revenue was predicted to come in at 17.9 million for what we actually received was 18.3. So um and then the expenditures were 8.9 and so the predicted deficit at that point looked to be almost a million but we were able to you look in the second column or beside that you see that the revenue jumped up to 18.3 and then the expenditures have only been at 18.7. So um the total deficit for this year that we're about to close up is looking at between
074300 000 to 500,000. And that's because we have some encumbered amounts here that um we have we need to make sure they've either already been paid and just weren't closed out properly or that they still need to get paid. And so we'll have to clear those out. But the ones that we highlighted are areas where we need to there wasn't enough money allocated to that particular function. And so need to make some um transfers to be able to uh clean those budgets up completely. and that was in instructional leadership, um health services, that's our nurse, student transportation, our extracurricular um general ad administration, and then in those areas where it's a little bit short and so we need to um just do some budget transfers. When y'all look at making the motion, what we're doing
075is There's still money in there from the budget, but we just need to take a some of the funds that they were allocated to and put them in the short. And then on the next page is 240. This is Tiana's food service budget. The um we need to increase the expense amount and because she had very few bills left to pay and so she does, this one does have a a deficit balance. So last year spent more than she actually collected by about almost $70,000. But from previous years, she had built up a fund balance that she's able to do that without actually digging into our 199 budget. She still has it and we need to just go ahead and um clear up her budget to make her starting as well for this next year.
076And then on the next page is our 599 budget. This is our debt service. The amount that was um predicted that we would collect was 4.7 million, but we actually collected 5.1. And so we just need to increase the revenue that was collected to reflect that. >> Okay. >> All right. No other line item. Okay. We talked about a bond update. We'll now move on to action items. Uh item eight, consent agenda. >> I'll move to approve the consent agenda. >> Okay, we have a motion to approve. Second. Uh any questions or discussion? Seeing none, all in favor say I. >> Say nay. Motion carries. Um item B consider final 20 24 2025 amend the budget. Any more to comment on that? I know about the budget a couple times now. >> But that was
077the one that we talked about here just approving those transfers. >> Transfer. Okay. I'll move to approve final 2024 2025. >> Okay. We have a first >> a second. >> Okay. Any further questions? Seeing none. All in favor say I. I. >> Say nay. Motion carries. Item C, consider adopting 2025 2026 budget. >> That question. >> We talked about it. >> I'll move to adopt the 2025 to 2026 budget as presented. >> Okay. First, we have a second from Stacy M. Thank you. Uh, any further questions? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Again, say nay. Okay. Motion carries. Item B, consider and approve to accept the certified and supplemental appraisal world for tax year 2025 for the NASD. >> Um, that is in your packet. It's on page 35 and
078on page 40. And the difference is our official appraisal values were the million, but because of the homestead exemptions being raised and then the um amount being raised for senior citizens, the actual certified values that were going to come in is the 873 and that was just due to um legislature that took effect September 1. I move to accept certified supplemental appraisal for tax year 2025 analy from the member. Thank you. Any further discussion? All in favor say I. I. Yes. Say nay. Motion carries. Item E, consider and approve to accept the no new revenue tax year. I mean tax rate and voter approval tax rate for tax year 2025 for NY. >> That is on the tax calculation pages page 47. And basically just our taxes are going to stay the same. We're not
079raising taxes for district. Everything will stay as it was last year according to So we're going to keep the M at the 6769 and then ours is going to stay at move to accept revenue tax rate tax. >> I'll second. >> Okay. First and second. Uh any questions or further comments? Seeing none, all in favor say I. >> I. Against say nay. Motion carries. >> Item F, consider resolution to adopt local tax rate. >> Basically, what you're doing is you're going to adopt that rate for >> I'll move to approve the resolution and set tax rate on $100 valuation at 1 for the purpose of maintenance and operation M&A and 050 for the purpose of interest in syncing IMS claim to service bonded this year's proposed tax rate does not exceed the new tax no
080new revenue tax rate thank you Davis so we have a motion a second uh Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those favor say I. I. >> I. Say nay. Motion carries. Item G considering delegate assembly delegate and alternate. So this is our uh has be kind of a midyear meeting. I'm not quite sure. Uh I think you went last year, right? Meinda in San Antonio. >> So it is in Houston this year. >> Um it's on a Saturday the 13th. >> Any interest? >> That was a joke. >> Good. This is just a trial. >> No, but your voice >> do you have any comments about what you did last year or thoughts or >> It was just like the one we do in the summer get up a lot of I did it two
081years ago too which was after legislative session. So it's starting to clear mud is what they were doing. >> Yeah, that's probably right. >> And implementing. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's probably right. They've got a little time to process now. >> Good. >> We're not gonna do that. >> We don't have to go. >> I'll go. Who's going to be moing it? >> The Stacy. No, this is >> Yeah, I'm gonna be out of the country actually. So, >> yeah, I guess I'll make a motion that I'll move to nominate Stacy Meadows as delegate member. >> I can do this. alternate trainer as >> thank you all. Uh so we have a motion to have a second. Okay. Thank you. Uh all in favor say I. >> I can say nay. >> All right. Thank y'all
082for for stepping up. It's pretty convenient in Houston. So far >> since you were stuck in that one meeting the whole time that I saw you'll get to be back around. >> Yeah, that's a good point. >> Yeah. You'll get to get >> you didn't get to go out with them. >> You went to the new member staff. >> Yeah. So that that's a good point. And she does bring up a good point that you know they will have more legislative understanding. Maybe you say >> maybe. All right. Item eight. consider purchase of a 2026 Thomas Safety Liner C2 school bus. >> We um didn't purchase a bus last year and um because there wasn't really any readily available by the time we put one in. It would be this time of the year before
083we got it. So, we just waited and did one for this year. Um we are with one out of commission right now and then another one happened to it. We're actually short. We're having to have a charter bus for the game that goes to Hitchcock. Um, so we really need another bus in our fleet. >> Do you know what the bus was? >> Um, it's one, >> huh? >> I don't know. I thought it was close. Anyway, it's definitely 90 something. We we don't really have those on for help necessarily. >> Well, I I was just curious because uh I mean I'm all for us getting bus schools, how to get them educated, but there's a program that the state does think you can I think the last round it had to be a 2007
084bus. So we have that >> I think we have two that could fit that. Um, we just have to have something to replace it with. >> Um, >> demolish it. >> I think that's part of the program. >> Yeah. >> Once you get the bus, then you scrap the old bus. Or at least that's how I do. >> It's like dollar for dollar. >> You get a pretty good you build up. build up to where they get sweet enough to pull the trigger eventually. >> Yeah, we have that one's a seven. We have 80 something,000 and that one's just sitting. >> Yeah, we may not have one that meets their criteria just yet. something. >> Well, I'll uh I'll move to approve the purchase of a 2026 Thomas safety liner C2 school bus in the
085amount of not to exceed 154,000 with funding from general operating. >> Okay, we have a first >> a second from Melinda. Any further discussion about the bus? All those in favor say I. >> I. Say nay. Motion carries. >> Mr. President, may I say something real quick? Yes. Um uh this was just I found this interesting and I I don't remember if it was Willis who told me this or Tammy or who it was, but you know 154,000 like whoa. That's that's way bigger number we've ever seen on the school board. But we're not surprised because that's what everything is turning into. But it was explained to me that they're now the reason that one's so expensive is now they're now putting a third air conditioner in the center of that thing. So the bus
086can actually be actually cool in the hottest of hot. Even though the thermometer doesn't look like it's hotter, it feels hotter or something. I don't know if it's a humidity or water. Maybe we're getting older. But anyway, so then if you have one of the AC units go down, you still have two pulling. And I think we talked about this. By far at this point, the most labor intensive, whatever hardest thing about running a fleet of buses is those air conditioners. Uh because they're not really all that well designed. They really uh I mean, they work pretty good when they're working, but they're not really all that um what do you call it? Dependable, reliable, you know, over after a couple of years. So anyway, we thought that was interesting. The other thing is that
087um you know Willis and I we have we both agree that if we could find uh good clean relatively low mileage uh buses especially now that he has an inside guy he was sharing with me today out on the bus lane that and I don't remember who it was that came out yesterday but like scare I think he was saying is selling lots of buses and now because I guess Willis was inquisitive and talked to this guy I can't take any of the credit for it. He's got an inside line where he can call this guy and then they can call the mechanics over there and they can say, "Tell us about bus 83. What's the deal on it? Is that a good bus?" They're like, "No, stay away from that thing. That thing eats
088turbos. We never have been able to figure out why that thing, you know, or they may they say, "Oh, that's a pretty solid bus." You know, that that that would be a good one because um man, you couldn't buy these things for pennies on the dollar if you know if um in some instances and if you have an inside uh line on it. So, you know, you're not buying a pig and a poke or whatever. That might be a little strategy now that they're $154,000. It might be because you can buy a pretty clean bus for 20 $25,000 or even less. So, we may experiment around with it just a little bit. Not in a large enough scope to where it's like, oh my gosh, Cody, what did y'all do? I spent all this money
089and these buses are all laying down on us. It wouldn't be anything like that, but maybe just experiment around with one or two and see if that might moving forward that might be a good strategy to use in this small district where you could still kind of um put the the buses with more mileage on your shorter routes and stuff. >> Yeah. Because the old bus I drive, I don't ever get literally I don't think I ever get over like 25 miles an hour because I'm just in town just driving around. So it doesn't take really all that strong of a bus to do that. It's safe. The brakes and everything are safe on it. So just not going to win any war. All right. Uh we have item I consider revisions to EF local
090instructional resources library materials. >> Mr. Can you speak? Would you speak to this, please? >> Yeah, we had Tazby look at it and we had Cy look at it as well. Some of these things already existed in our current policy, but this has to do with that um suitable that Senate Bill 13 and parents rights to challenge. One of the choices we were allowed to make was whether we wanted to have a school library advisory council and we decided not to because it would be better for us that that Cody could select the teachers that actually have that kind of knowledge and that was just that's basically choice. >> You want to go full boore on this, you could turn it into something that become really controversial and you could lose control of it and
091we we'd rather control it. You know, >> Kim, is this something we take a a vote on? Do we vote on this or is it >> No, I didn't put you in action. Yes, you did. >> Okay, that's what I I noticed I didn't have an action, but I we can make an action. >> Yes, make an action. >> Uh so revisions. Okay. So, is need a motion to approve uh local? >> Okay. >> I I'll make a motion to approve the revisions uh to >> EFB local uh to in order to stay in compliance with Senate Bill 13. Uh and we will select the superintendent to delegate a advisory committee. Okay. All right, we have a second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. All any other further discussion being none. All in
092favor say I. >> I say nay. >> Okay, motion carries. Uh we've done both discussion items. So that takes us to close session at 7:24. And this is a discussion evaluation of personnel Texas government code 551.074 074 consultation with war attorney regarding all matters as authorized by law code section 551.071. Thank you. And we're live. Okay, we're going to come out of close session >> at 9:12. >> 912. All right. Thank you. Um and so we need to um consider additional personnel positions. Do I have a motion, please? I move to add an educational aid position at the primary school. >> Okay. So, we have first from Michael, we have a second from Stacy Davis. >> Sorry. >> You know, I didn't look and I I thought I >> Oh, man. I was an old
093book Stacy, but that's what happens. >> That's very true. >> We have a first from Michael and a second from Stacy. Uh, any further discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion carries. Uh, now we need a motion to adjourn. >> So move. >> Okay. We have a Michael. >> Okay. And now Okay. Okay. Med. >> Thank y'all so much for all you do. >> Thank you, sir. >> And that's 9:15. >> Somebody else clean. >> 7:24 or whatever. Were you doing
