004the board. Uh it's uh Christmas in September now. Tonight, uh, as you know, periodically we have excess proceeds from tax sales that, uh, get divided among the taxing entities. Uh, and tonight I bring four checks to the school district. Um, these are four properties that have sold and in in excess of the taxes due and no timely applications were made by the prior owners. So, these monies uh are divided among the taxing entities. Uh, as always, these are non-budgetary items, so the school district can use these funds as you see fit. They're not earmarked for anything in particular. And tonight, I bring four checks totaling $8,800. $8,81321. >> Thank you, Ryan. All right, the next thing is Dr. Katy. >> Good evening. Glad to be here. Resident Farmer Superintendent Hound, members of the board. It's
005my pleasure to be here. My name is Eddie Coulson. I live in college session and over the course of the past school year, the 2425 school year, I worked within CSISD to uh build a strategic plan alongside people in the district and I'm really proud of the work that the district has done and the work that has come from that. Um as we as I talk about the strategic plan know that the work that has gone into this has been uh as I have come into the district not for me to be able to say this is what you need to do. It is to listen, to uh ask good questions, and to put together what people in Forsakan ISD said, "This is what we need to work on." And those people included teachers, um
006students, parents, family members, business uh the business community, a wide variety of people. I was telling uh Dr. How before the meeting time, I will never forget I I had the good fortune of doing this across the state in a lot of places. And so I have forgotten some meetings, I'll be honest with you. But I will never forget the meeting I had at Corsa County High School with the Corsa County High School students. It was um delightful in the sense that they were just so on target and alert and such amazing communicators of the needs of the high school. But beyond that, most of them had experienced the district throughout their career, beyond just the high school for the district. They were kind but straightforward, right? They they this is what we need. And
007I I said to uh the group when I finished with them, I said, uh you know, if you have something that you weren't able to spill your bucket with, there are a lot of people in here. We have a limited amount of time. So if you got something to say to me and you weren't able to say it, I'm going to be over here when y'all break up when you come talk to me. And a number of students did and again they were kind, respectful, nice. They love Corsacan ISD. That's what I would say is the the my my takeaway from all of this is people love Corsacan ISD and teachers here. So many of them went to school here. That's unusual, right? I in a group of uh teachers, how many of you guys
008went I it just dawned on me as they were all talking. Well, when I was in school and how many of you guys went to school here, it's like half the room hands went up. So, people love this district. They um they want good things for it and I think they're willing to work for it. The strategic plan is really about identifying things to work on. It honestly, it's just words on a piece of paper. That's all it is. It's words on a piece of paper until somebody takes it and does some good work with it. The idea of a strategic plan is to think about and to identify things to work on and then the leadership including students, teachers, administrators, not just a person but the district leadership really says okay this is what
009we're going to do and we work toward it. So a strategic plan gives a target and then the strategy and the wisdom and the leadership is let's align our efforts toward what we said is important, right? Let's align our efforts. Let's make sure our budget reflects it. Let's make sure our professional development reflects it. Let's make sure our casual conversations reflect the direction that we have identified. And so it's really my pleasure to present this. I'm not going to present every word. I know you've seen it, but I want to give some highlights to it. And that is that very first and and this is I think representative of the comments that I made first is that people love the district. They want to honor the past, but if you just honor the past, it
010can be an anchor to moving forward. All right. So I think there's a real desire to say we have done some good work and of course NIST has a lot of history and we love this community and we love what it has stood for over the years but we got to move forward like we're we're focusing on the future. What was fine but what can be is even greater. And so what can be for our students, for the staff, for the parents, for the community, I think the sky's is the limit. And so I think the the big issue here is let's focus on the future. Let's focus on preparing our kids for work and for college and university and to be good and successful citizens. Not just when they graduate on the course uh
011when they're students like that. We need them to be good citizens all the time. Not just when they graduate throughout the course of their school career. So uh the vision is just that. Let's focus on the future. and that our mission, the mission is to develop graduates who are ready for work in college, value hard work and determination, and are good citizens in schools and in the community. And really, that should be the mission of every school district in the state. They're crafted differently. They might be worded a little differently, but for for school districts, it is to develop smart kids who are hard workers who are ready to go to work, ready to go to college or ready to go, right? Let's not get them to that point and they don't have a skill
012to work, where they don't have the desire to make a difference, where they don't know what their next step is, right? You can't ask every 18-year-old to know what they're going to do for the rest of their life, right? But they can have a plan. And so I think this is representative of that. Let's focus on the future and let's build students who work hard, are determined, and are good citizens while they're in school and then wherever they choose to live. And the likelihood is based on what I've learned is they're going to move back here. They might go somewhere, but they're going to move back here. We certainly want them to be good uh citizens in this community. Core beliefs. Uh I always say you know we work as you work on beliefs if
013you believe everything and you really believe nothing and and I know that doesn't make a lot of sense but you can be so focused on a list of 20 things this is what we believe that it gets watered down and so I really challenge the the folks that I talk to to really talk about what is it that we believe that will help us be successful and one of the key points is what do we believe about the adults, right? What do we believe about the adults in the schools that we have and and not just the adults but the students? What is it that are core to who we are? Core core beliefs. And one of them was that discipline and order are important in the world we live in today. I know I
014said I'm not going to go over every bullet point, and I'm really not, but I'm going to hit on this one. In the world we live in today, it is really hard to have a disciplined and orderly environment unless the system does it. We are focused on being fair, which we should be. We are focused on being equitable, which we should be. We are focused on second chances, which we should be. And if you only do that, the likelihood of having an undisiplined environment is pretty great. And so you have to balance those things with systems and structures that bring order and discipline. And if you do it across the system where this school is doing what this school is doing that is doing what this school is doing obviously with adjustments based on the
015age of the children and the and the the grade level. But that creates an opportunity for order and discipline that you don't have when you're just relying on an individual teacher to keep order in the classroom or an individual school. And so I really the discipline and order are important and it's not just in this classroom. It is across the district. And so I know uh Dr. How and others are are pushing forward to let's establish a a a system and structures that really allow us to do those things. Be fair, be equitable, give second chances, and also have a disciplined environment. And any system you build has to not just focus on behavior but also on students wellbeing. their character, their socialu emotional health. And so anything that you build has to focus on
016those things as well. We believe that the real world learning drives success, right? Let's have engaging and exciting classrooms. Relationships fuel achievement and risktaking fuels innovation. Let's not have everybody do the same thing in the same way every day. And again, while structure is important, we also want each teacher to have an opportunity to create and innovate with their students. And so with those core beliefs in mind, we really talked about uh discipline management or behavior management and to establish a framework for behavior and social emotional needs for that to be a consistent across all grade levels and to view parents as partners, right? Because you can't have a disciplined and orderly school if parents are there and we're here, right? They have to be viewed as partners. And when we think about them, we
017think about them as partners with the district. It's not us versus them. It's us moving in the same direction. So priority area one was man uh discipline management or behavior management. And it was number one for a reason. Whenever you do this, you look for themes. It was a consistent theme among students. You ask students what they want. They want discipline and order. Whether they're in middle school or high school, I didn't talk to a lot of elementary kids, but they want discipline and order. It's what they want because they want to be able to learn at deep level. So, they don't want a few kids taking away that opportunity for them to learn at deep level. So, teachers want it, parents want it, discipline. So, it's number one for a reason. Number two is
018engaging and relevant experiences for students and that is we want to foster deeper understanding of the content. Uh sometimes in Texas we have so many standards that you you run the risk of teaching at a surface level rather than at a deep level. And there's a real art and skill to finding the balance, right? You have to prepare students for what they're going to be tested on. You have to prepare students in a manner consistent with what the state wants with the number of standards they have. But you also have to create experiences for students to work and learn and teach. And so I think this is a challenge not just for but for districts across the state is how do you do that in a way where you take care of what the state
019needs but you also take care of making sure that students learn at a at a deeper level. So it has to do with professional development. It has to do with allowing teachers some ownership with what they do. It has to do with the type of assessments that you give. It has to do with the structures that you have in your classroom. And so I think this is really uh important not only can but across the state but course can identified it. It was loud and clear. This is what we need to do. So and one of the things that we said is just real world experiences, real world exper uh learning on a daily basis. So puts pressure on everybody. It's not occasional that it happens. It happens on a daily basis. Community engagement is
020clearly important that we want to uh bring value that that Corsacan ISD brings tremendous value to this community. We want to make sure that we communicate that uh across the city and beyond that Corsican ISD serve as a point of pride for the community that it produces work ready graduates so they can walk across the stage and walk in to a skilled job that they need they can make a living wage and so uh the just the continued involvement and and uh work with the community continues to be important. engaging parents as partners. Again, I think that piece has come out loud and clear a variety of places. And then to clearly communicate what is expected. Go back to the vision and the mission. This is what we want to do, right? And sometimes we
021get lost in all of the standards and forget that really we're producing hardworking, determined, communityminded students. And if that is your filter, right, the way you plan a lesson or the way you work or the professional development that you provide is a little different. So community engagement continues to be important. And then the professional learning teachers have to be learners, right? And they are of course at when I met with a I met with a number of different teacher groups and they were passionate and excited about the work that they had in front of them. And with you get enough teachers in a room, there's also a little frustration, not because of course Canada, but the state has a pretty heavy hand, right, in terms of curriculum, instruction, the testing. And so part of the
022wisdom of Dr. How and and staff is to is to figure out how do we empower our teachers to do the things that they want to do. At the heart of every teacher should be someone who's creative and innovative and able to come up with good ideas to work with students. So I go back to the professional uh the classroom expectations, right? We want kids to be engaged in class. We want kids to be engaged in class. We have to have teachers who who design engaging lessons. And at the core of every teacher, I think is someone who wants to be creative and innovative in the work that they do. And so along with that provide choices for teachers in terms of their professional development that they go to. Nobody wants to go to an
023hourlong meeting that doesn't apply to them. All right? If it doesn't apply to them, they don't want to be there. They could be doing something else. Professional development that focuses on student engage engagement and learning experiences. And then to the extent that you can to protect teacher time. What do teachers want? More time. What do we have in limited supply of time, right? And so we want the clear theme is give us time to plan to think to work and and as as we do that then the expectation is that that teachers create and innovate on behalf of students. And then the the last piece was and again I think this is really important and uh true across the state is how to recruit and retain the best teachers, right? Um it's a challenge, right,
024to find the the right expertise at the right time who are have and and in the right spots that you have. And so recruiting and retaining teachers uh is critically important and and when you have enough teachers when you have filled the spots it really makes a difference in the culture and climate of the school where teacher A is not having to cover for teacher B because teacher B doesn't exist at that school or you know so teachers if a full load of teachers really helps the district foster a positive environment and then providing support for teachers. Going back to what we just said, if we expect teachers to to develop and create and innovate uh engaging lessons that are about the real world, then they have to have the time to do that. The
025expectation has to be there and the professional development has to be there. And so these five areas become the target if you will for corana ISD from behavior management to um engaging in relevant lessons to community engagement to professional learning and then to recruiting and retaining teachers becomes the target and then how you do that becomes uh superintendent how and others to really talk with people gather input and determine how do we move forward to uh to align with what he said that we would do and and the the last piece is just I want to come back and say focus on the future, honor the past, but focus on the future. You have many wonderful things that have happened here. But more importantly than that, you have a lot of work to do to
026prepare students so that they when they walk across the stage, they're ready to go to school. They're ready to go into the military. They're ready to go to work. Um, and as you do that, as you push forward with that, I think that will be the mark of success for CISD. And I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have. I know Superintendent How has on the board on the agenda for approval. And so, if you have questions for me, I'd certainly be happy to answer those. And thank you for the opportunity, not just to be here, but to do uh the work and to be in the district. I learned a lot and made a lot of great connections. So, thank you for that. Any questions? >> I'll make the motion to approve
027the strategic plan. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second to approve the strategic plan as presented. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those say no. Motion passes. Approve. Strategic plan is presented. Thank you. Appreciate you. Thank you. >> The next thing is design. Good evening. Hi, good to see everyone again. Um, yeah, I'm Mary O'Brien. I'm one of the partners at excited to be back for some more bond development um, as we look to the future. So, this is definitely that. Um, so as we're going through this presentation, you will see some of the images from last time just as a quick refresh or if we need to discuss anything, we have those as a reference. Uh again recapping on the scope of where all the projects are
028happening in the district. I'm going to move kind of quickly through these because you have seen these ones before. Uh okay. So again CTE Oh, I'm going too fast. Um so CTE edition at the high school. Again, the plan has not changed since you saw it last, but being able to look at the first floor as well as the second floor, but today you're going to see some interior images of what potentially it's going to start looking like. Again, these are all preliminary. We're trying to just paint the picture so people can get an understanding of the potential. Um, but of course, we're still going to go through the full design process. uh second floor. So the shop spaces are that large twotory volume. So we have a corridor on the second floor with windows
029that can look down into those spaces. So you have a learning on display and students can start seeing in real time the work that's being done by by the district. Okay. Um, again, I've been seeing the posters around, so we're using some of these images, which is really exciting. I hope there's been some good feedback. Um, bird views as we start moving inside. Okay, so this is an image of potentially one of the corridors. Um, so because this is a shop space, we were thinking of using polished concrete and some of those more industrial heavy duty durable materials. Um, but still trying to bring in the course of a can of glue and signage and the mascot and everything to really have a sense of pride um, as you walk through these spaces. Oh, the
030wrong way. Um, in that new CTE area, we are exploring the idea of a learning stair or an additional space for a large group gathering. It can be formal. Teachers could have a class here or it can be informal during lunch periods or things like that um or students uh to participate in on the upstairs area. So, this is looking we could incorporate a large LED screen. So, we have the technology in place, speakers, all of all of the bells and whistles we would definitely want. Um, but as far as materials, we are trying to soften it up with some wood um which also honors the past of the existing building. There is a lot of wood in the in the building already. So trying to really blend those spaces together so it feels connected
031and it's not just you're going from one wing into the next. It's it's trying to integrate everything. Um this is an image looking into the cafeteria. So we're exploring the idea of um trying to bring in lots of natural daylight into that space because it is pretty cut off. Um, as well as the expansion into the existing old gym, there are some structural columns that we'll have to work with and everything, but it really does open up that space. And even on that side of the cafeteria, um, we're fortunate it is a steel structure, so you can leave those columns in place and really expand and have large windows. Again, bringing all that natural light. um bringing that same wood feature wall into this space with the technology. Um so we're trying to paint enough
032of a picture but still keep it fairly white boxed. So there's still a lot of development and design that we exploring um for CTE. So we've been looking at this floor plan. This is the existing floor plan and just starting to figure out some of the programming that can go into those renovated spaces. And after going through a couple options, this was the one we settled on. Um, and it's moving culinary into where the automotive shop is. We'll bring in Hback. I know it's not air conditioned right now. So, yeah. Um, but it it really does expand that space. We'll still have the beastro. We can have deliveries, all of all of those things for culinary. Um, we're exploring um where the existing wood shop is. We're just labeling it a lab right now. So,
033as you start talking through curriculum or programs you want to bring in, that space is there. So, it's not really exactly program today. So there's a lot of room um for development as well as the yellow areas. So um and then what's in blue kind of the teal blue is the audio visual the podcasting that program. So that also expands quite a bit. And then maintaining three computer labs, but they are getting larger because I know there's credit remediation and things um for those kiddos. Any questions on that? Um, as we're looking, so quick refresh on the early childhood. Um, where where we've been exploring the site location is off drain road south of the middle school, the existing middle school. Um, so we're we're really exploring queuing lanes and parent drop off and bus
034drop off and all those things and that'll continue to develop further. Um, but again just probably trying to keep like the playgrounds to the back of the building so it's more secure and private than off kind of a main road which I'm sure drain will eventually become a leader. Um, so the bird's eye view which you've seen. So, this is a glimpse at what the front of the building is starting to look like. Um, we are exploring some design aesthetics such as Texas modern and bringing some of the existing brick colors that you see at the other campuses, but incorporating maybe some stone and again those wood elements to soften it. Um, a large entry so it's clear where the front door is. you know exactly where you're going. Um, and then this space to
035the right with the large windows is the library. So again, lighting on display, lots of light coming into that space as well as the Crommont canopy um for weather days. So this is another view of that same shot. So if you have a preference and approve these images, um we can talk through which ones to start publishing or or hold back. So that's up to you. Um so looking into that library space, we we want to bring in the blue and gold. Um, and in the back of this library, we have an idea of creating almost like a tiny town that there's, um, in my neighborhood, uh, this place called Museum Museum Street, and it's for little kids around that age, and it has or Play Street. Play Street. Okay, there it is. I have
036older kids now. I haven't been there in a bit, but but I remember taking my kids there and they have the little grocery store or the little bank or, you know, all these little areas. But you can start incorporating like lessons on how to use money and go into the bank and you're spending your money or the grocery store is buying and selling everything. So as you start thinking through curriculum, this is a space that can really just bring teaching and learning fun and playful. So it doesn't even feel like, you know, they're at school necessarily. Um, okay. So looking at the transportation uh facility. So this is near the ECC, kind of in between the new ECC and the middle school. Um, we we have enough bus parking spaces for your fleet and then
037some extras as well as just regular parking for suburbans or plans or things like that. Um, and then in this corner would be staffed parking. Um, all of our curves and radi make it very easy for a large bus. Um, we have three shop bays to pull into as well as a wash bay. So, just trying to make it as easy to maneuver as possible in that. So, this is a bird's eye view of that space and potentially a look at the building. Um, this is one of those buildings a lot of times you see pre-engineered metal building construction versus conventional. So, as we explore that and look at pricing, we that may determine one way or the other and then things that might potentially change are like for architecture maybe more slope or things
038like that. So, but as of today, some of the conventional pricing is equal to green engineering. So it it kind of goes with the market. Um that's really it. So we are currently working on a as well, but we we haven't had a chance to meet with that program yet. So we wanted to really listen to what their thoughts are and everything and make sure our design matches what they're seeing. question or anything there because it seemed it to me it's like hey this is the entrance to the school instead of what we have >> it could be a potential like I was thinking it could be a drop off maybe ninth grade we could maybe split it if we wanted to but they will >> I think Mary wasn't there offices in that area
039>> yes we do have offices Um, we have four offices planned, a break room and a conference room as well as in the blue. >> Oh, CT. I'm sorry. >> CT. I'm sorry. >> Sorry. >> That because it looks, you know, if I'm a parent, I'm like, well, there's the office. So, >> we're going to make sure that they know this is the main entrance and this will be the like the entrance page for n drop off so that we can split it to help the traffic going. We can definitely explore if we need more of a reception area to that particular part of the building and if it wants to be in the center or on the ends. That's another conversation because the center one we were thinking that could be an outdoor build
040space >> and so you may not want to be weaving through projects or something. But yes, all of that's part of design process. It's an art transportation department. >> Oh, wow. >> Exactly. That's fantastic. >> I can tell they be really happy with this. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. We appreciate it. >> Next is the district plan for Dr. Farmer. >> All right. Good evening, President Farmer, Miss Hal, and members of the board. You just heard our strategic plan, and so now you're going to get to hear our district improvement plan. Um, a lot of the strategies in here, you'll notice, are modeled off of the strategic plan. We try to keep it all aligned as much as possible. Um, there's a lot in this document. I'm going to start on page nine, and
041I'm going to review the goals, the performance performance objectives, and the strategies for each one just very briefly. So, if you have a question, just stop me from going too fast. Just tell me to slow down. Um, okay. So, the first goal is around student achievement. The main three goals are the same as they were last year. all of the things underneath that we've made adjustments to. And the first performance objective, we will maintain a high quality prek through 12 curriculum and instructional practices that adhere to the state standards and maximize student performance. And the strategies underneath that performance objective include sustaining a consistent K through2 RTI program. So, I'm just going to summarize each of these. Um, implement and refine our professional learning communities across all campuses. And so I do want to emphasize
042the consistent K12 RTI program and then the PLC's are across all campuses. Um and then teachers will internalize and design lessons that embed researchbased instructional strategies. Strategy four would be implementing our high quality instructional material blue bonnet with fidelity. And then we will close gaps in foundational this sorry I'm strategy five. will close gaps in foundational literacy skills by implementing the foundational skills portion of blue bonnet in all of our K2 K2 classrooms as well as um the supplemental foundational skills pieces in our third and fourth grade intervention classroom. So they'll getting foundational skills as well. Um, and then we'll support accelerated instruction, which would be our STAR failures through the addition of an EOCC class at our high school, as well as after school tutoring and summer school programs. We'll continue to implement and
043refine our data analysis protocol. And then we will provide ongoing instructional coaching and feedback cycles to support teachers with implementing the researchbased instructional strategies. And that is actually work that we've been doing through um Texas instructional leadership with region 12. Um performance objective two is to continue implementation and refinement of a system to provide for our evolving digital needs. Those strategies include um providing digital learning. Our digital learning coach will pro continue to provide um professional development for our teachers especially as we go to uh strategy two as we transition transition to Google which will be Google workspace and Google craft classroom which we believe will also help enhance our collaboration among our teachers. The next three performance objectives 3, four and five are house bill three goals which are centered around third grade reading
044and math. Um there and then CCMR And then goal two, which is promote and develop positive relationships through communication, involvement, and partnerships with all stakeholders. So our first performance objective here, you will notice, aligns very closely with the strategic plan where CIC will strengthen community engagement by clearly communicating its mission and vision, promoting district value, and fostering partnerships with parents, businesses, and citizens to support students success and community pride. And those strategies include community involvement, parent involvement, and then also establishing that task, those task forces of citizens that can be ambassadors for ISTD. The next performance objective is the district the district will increase student attendance through targeted interventions, family engagement, and support plans for atrisisk students. So our strategies there will be to continue utilizing school status to track attendance and communicate with parents.
045And then um the second one, leverage county resources to support district attendance efforts by collaborating with the local court system to file truency cases when appropriate. So it's my understanding that they have agreed to begin filing truency again. So that will help us out tremendously. Um and then performance objective three would be staff recruitment and retention. Those strategies include the targeted professional development for our new teachers, continuing with job fairs, promoting staff health and wellness to improve job satisfaction and reduce stress, um expanding the grow your own program which will include supporting career professionals to complete degrees and certification requirements. We will sustain and continuously improve our teacher incentive aotment plan to ensure it's effective, transparent, and impactful. and then implementing an assistant principal academy to build leadership capacity. And then performance objective four course
046Canada will educate the whole child by addressing their social emotional needs. So those strategies include um providing the alongside to our students in grades 5 through 12. We have hope squad which was originally our middle school. We've expanded that to our um intermediate and our high school and that is just a cohort of kids that help with social emotional and friendship and anti-bullying and things like that. And then our counselors will conduct monthly guidance lessons using our CK curriculum.
