At this time, I'll turn the meeting back over to President Campy. >> Thank you, Mrs. Thomas. That was very, very quick and official.
004At this time, we will move on to item number four, a public hearing. Oh, I'm sorry. Item number three, citizens participation. Mrs. Garcia, I understand we have speakers signed up today. All right. Thank you very much. Citizens participation is the time that the board will hear public concerns or public comments from those who have properly signed up to address the board.

Miss Garcia, I have three in my hand. Is that correct? Very good. Then we have three speakers. The first speaker is Tamaya
006Lewis. Welcome. If you would approach the podium in the center of the room and again I ask that you not refer to an individual or uh employee, student or board member uh with crit criticism. >> Yes, sir. >> You'll be given three minutes to speak. >> Yes. >> When you hit the one minute mark, Mrs. Guy will alert and say one minute and then you'll continue. start by introducing yourself. >> Yes, my name is Tamaya Lewis. Uh thank you for letting me speak. Um I'm here today because uh my daughter goes to Lee High School. Uh she's in the ninth grade. Uh my son is here with my daughter myself. Uh my son was in the hospital for uh about 45 days. He had some brain problems. Uh my daughter had to miss school uh
007due to his problems in in uh in the hospital. So, uh, she missed quite a bit of school and she was behind on her work. So, while she was missing school, she was asking the counselor, was she behind uh uh on her credits? And so, as uh the school year went on, she was talking to the counselor and asking the counselor, "Hey, uh, am I going to need credit recovery?" And the counselor was like, uh, she told her, this is what she told her, uh, you're smart enough to know if you're passing or not. This is what she said. Now, I spoke to the principal. The principal said he was going to handle it. But I came here to let you all know what's going on at the school because to me, if you're the
008counselor and you're speaking to kids like that, that's not appropriate. A child should be able to go to a counselor and talk to them openly about whatever they need to talk to him about. So if you're talking to kids like that about their grades, what are you I mean are you speaking to them about other things inappropriate? So I wanted you all to know and not just the principal at the school because that's something concerning to me because these these are kids and the way the world is right now everybody has problems. Adults have problems, kids have problems, and that's what that counselor is there for. And when I called to talk to her, she told me that she's uh taking tests and she's um um substituting. I told her that's not what I'm calling
009you about. >> One minute. >> If you're doing that, how are you doing your job? So, right off the bat, I knew she wasn't doing what she was supposed to do by the conversation she had with me when we started our conversation. So, that's why I know I needed to come here and let you all know, what was said to me, what was done to my daughter, and what's going on. And I feel like someone needs to talk to the principal and talk to her about her actions and what happened with my daughter. That's it. >> Mr. Lewis, thank you so much for addressing the board. We do not have a two-way conversation, but but I do want to share with you that this district has policies and procedures in place that would support a
010grievance process. Um, and you can reach out to any administrator to find out more about that or on our website if you so choose to pursue it a little bit further as well. Thank you. >> So, thank you for coming to talk to us tonight. Our second speaker is Adriana Lopez. If you would come to the podium, state your name, the topic you're speaking on, and the same rules apply. You'll have three minutes from the time you begin speaking. And Mrs. Guy will let you know when you have one minute remaining. >> Yes, sir. >> My name is Adriana Lopez, former student of Roberty Lee High School. I'm here today to address ongoing concerns surrounding student safety, social treatment, and the way student experiences, including harassment and isolation, can go overlooked or handled insufficiently within
011school environments. Schools are intended to be places where students can learn, develop, and place trust in the adults responsible for their well-being. However, for some students, school may become an environment marked by social isolation, intimidation, and fear of speaking openly. Harmful behavior does not always occur publicly. In many cases, it takes place quietly through harassment, manipulation, or the perception that certain individuals are socially protected while others are disregarded. These situations become even more challenging when those responsible for harmful behavior appear respectful or influential in public settings while privately contributing to environments that leave others feeling isolated or unsafe. Because these individuals are are viewed as respectable, well-liked, or successful, their actions are overlooked, minimized, or dismissed entirely, making it even harder for students affected by said behavior to feel believed or supported. As a result,
012many students begin to believe that speaking up may worsen their circumstances. This concern becomes particularly serious when reports involving harassment or assault are not addressed in ways that make students feel acknowledged or protected. I speak not only from observation but from personal experience. My own experience came from Horseman Middle School my eighth grade year when a seventh grade student exposed himself inappropriately on a school bus after a UIL event. The situation was being investigated when a school officer asked if I really wanted to go through with making the situation a court matter detailing and emphasizing that I could ruin his life. This experience significantly affected my sense of safety, trust, and comfort within the school environment. Schools encourage students to speak up. Yet too many feel uncertain about whether their concerns will truly be handled
013with care and urgency. Many students are left feeling unheard, unsupported, or afraid to report at all. This is not about attacking our schools. It is about asking our district to do better with the students it is responsible for protecting. I ask the board to continue improving how reports of harassment and assault are handled by ensuring students have clear reporting options, properly trained staff, timely responses, and access to support throughout the process. A safe school environment is not just about policies written on a paper. It is about whether students feel protected when it matters the most. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Lopez, for coming to talk to us tonight. We do appreciate that. >> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Our third speaker is Brenda Lopez. Welcome to the podium, Brenda. Same rules apply. >> Start
014by stating your name, please. >> My name is Brenda Lopez. Good evening, everybody. >> So, the last meeting I spoke of all the things that had happened during the Robert Levy van trip. According to Mr. Brooks, things are being now implemented. So, hope it protects all the bad students and all the ones that are taking trips. U there is a few people in your staff that do protect um the staff. So they don't allow anything to get out of there. But there's a few that protected my child. So I want to say thank you to Mrs. Christy Smith who's the counselor and witnessed firsthand how that band teacher segregated my child. And she actually grabbed my daughter and said, "Are you okay? Are you comfortable being in this room?" And walked out with my daughter
015from that band class. I appreciate her. Kudos to her for having that audacity. To Dr. Steel and Dr. Binger who actually took the time to give me a call, showed great compassions and guided me through the process. Thank you. I do appreciate it. And yes, uh Mr. Joe did contact them to contact me. So, thank you, sir, for doing that. I greatly appreciate it. There's a lot that still needs to be done. The Bible says watch over his children and he command commands the adult because they are the weak ones to protect them. So, I pray for all of you that are here that say that you are teachers and delegate for our children. I pray that you are doing what God has commanded you to do. Proverbs 31 instructs believers to speak up for
016those who cannot speak for themselves, that is the children. So I pray that you are doing that. I admire my daughter strength who has gone through the bullying and through all this as a child and still so shows such strength and such compassion and the gentleness to actually forgive those who have attacked her and continue to be a resilient child. I admire the strength that extends beyond physical capacities and the compassion, profound emotional resilience, and the integrity to know and decipher the difference. The wisdom to see what is right and what is wrong and to make her own decisions. To my daughter, you will always be my hero. Keep fighting. You mean the world to me. God loves you and he will always guide and protect you. >> Thank you, Miss Lopez. That concludes our
017citizens participation. We'll move on to item number four, public hearing. Yes, Mr. President, uh board members and committee members, uh tonight we have a public hearing um to discuss the 2627 budget and proposed tax rate. Um Miss Bridget Clark is going to give us the information. As you may recall, uh, at the last at the last meeting that we had, uh, there was a request that we move this agenda item forward. So, we appreciate Mrs. Clark for giving us the information. Miss Clark. >> Yes, sir. Thank you. Uh, >> Miss Clark, before you get started, let me throw something out there. I want to advise the public, this is a public hearing as well. So, at the conclusion of Miss Clark's presentation, we'll open the podium up in the center of the room for public
018comment. Um, and that that is where the board will receive public comment for anyone that wishes to speak. So, at the conclusion, uh, feel free to get up and line up in front of the podium to make comments pertaining to this item and this item alone. Miss Clark, please proceed. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Dr. Rodriguez, board members. So, tonight is the grand finale of the budget. Uh, it's been [laughter] it's it's always a long slog from November even. So, um, thanks everyone for hanging in there with me. But, uh, tonight is, uh, shouldn't have any surprises to anyone. Uh, we have gone over these items multiple times. So, the public hearing is just a summary, uh, of that and it should go fairly quickly. All right. So just to recap the highlights uh from
019the budget itself, the whole entire budget um we are presenting balance budgets for the general fund and debt service fund. We are um presenting a spend down um deficit budget for the child nutrition fund and we'll get into that a little bit more whenever we get to that slide. Um it is by design and by tba uh Texas Department of Agriculture uh approves midnown plan for child nutrition services. We also are including in this budget a general pay increase of 2% for all employees. This is a repetitive slide as well. We got the tax the preliminary taxable values um in [clears throat] April and you can see we have a slight decrease um not anything major but again this is preliminary values only. So we'll get those certified values at the end of July and
020that's uh that'll be a precursor to us adopting our tax rate. Speaking of tax rates, we're not uh asking for any changes in the tax rate. It's going to remain at 745 for M, which is maintenance and operations, and it's going to remain at 325 for interest in sinking. And that gives us a total tax rate this year as well as last year of $1.7. This uh you will see in the action items following uh the superintendent report and this public hearing. Um this is just a detailed one-page summary of um the general fund, the school nutrition fund, and the debt service fund. These are all the legally adopted budgets. It also gives you a total there in that fourth column of all funds together. The second column you see there is child nutrition and
021you see that does have a deficit, a plan deficit of $5.361 million. Um if you take the 21 million in total expenditures, 21.4 4 million in the child nutrition fund column and you take uh 25% of that. That's what we're required to have in our fund balance. Now, they did change that to 6 months reserves right now, but it's not retroactive. So, if you were already on a TDA spending plan, Texas Department of Agriculture spending plan, um you're you're still going to have to go down to that three threemon mark, right? then you can build it up after that, but you have to hit that target first. So, just to just to let you know, that's how that works. Um, again, we're looking at uh you know, balanced budgets with general fund and balanced budget
022with debt service and just the 5.361 negative uh planned deficit with school nutrition. So, that'll be um what you are approving in the action items later in the meeting. So, as I just said, we're going to consider adoption of the budget and the action items. And that is a wrap. Questions? >> Thank you, Mrs. Clark. Set tight for just a few minutes. We're going to open up the podium now for public comment. As this is a public hearing, if anyone would like to come address the board on this item, please approach the podium now. Not yet, Miss Clark. We're going to get We're going to give it about a minute just in case. I'm seeing some heads nod out there. >> I would like to say uh this is the first time we present, you're
023presenting a balanced budget uh since I've been on the board. Remarkable work to you and everybody at Goose Creek. team effort for sure. >> Last call for public speakers on this hearing. Seeing none, this hearing is now closed. Mrs. Clark, thank you so much. >> Thank you, >> Mrs. Thomas. I'll turn it back over to you for recognitions and acknowledgements. >> All right.

We're going to move on to item number 10, discussion items, and that's superintendent reports. Dr. Rodriguez, I'll turn it over to you. >> Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. Tonight, we have two reports. The first one being career and technical education uh update and second one being the GCCISD school health advisory council
042which better known as the shack report. We are going to begin with our CTE update. Welcome. and the floor is yours when you're ready. >> All right. Good evening. Um I'm Leah Miller, the CTE director, and I have Jennifer Gillery, CTE specialist with me tonight, and we are going to discuss college and career uh military readiness and talk about CTE in particular. So, we are going to talk about our industrybased certifications and the new tier system that TEA did just roll out um this last summer. And so, they have divided this into three different tiers. Tier one is the highest tier. There's uh 23 IBC's in that tier. We do offer comp tia as an example. Um in tier one, tier 2 there are 349 IBC's. that's the majority uh within the tier is in
043tier 2 and an example is American Welding Society and then the third tier is uh 102 IBC's um and an example is NCCR core. Um so this does not go into effect until class of 2027 for the first uh 2028 accountability where we will have a 5% cap on tier three IBC's. The full tier implementation is looking at uh 2031 accountability where our differential waiting will come in. That has not yet been finalized by TEA, but that will be uh for our incoming 9th graders. That new accountabil account accountability system will come into play. So for this next slide, this is some data for our class of 2026 and it's broken down by our graduating class numbers and then our counseling department did pro provide our projected CCMR for the class. So we're still under
044our same accountability system and we're high 90s 100% at Stuart. And then the next column is our CTE pathway completers. So that's students who take three courses for at least four credits and that's the number of completers by campus where we have CTE programs of study. And then the last column is our pathway completers who have earned CCMR through one of those areas on the side. So not only industrybased certifications but also uh focused on dual credit level one level two college certificates or associate degrees. Uh we wanted to highlight that because ourmies do drive dual credit. Our pathways in technology early college high schools one of our measures is that our students graduate with 15 hours of dual credit. Um so we do know we have some work to target um within those areas
045and fill in the gaps. And so that's our goal moving forward with um with IBC's. So for targeting as we're moving forward um with our new 5x5 model, we are really hopeful that our students have more room in their schedule to take and finish um CTE pathways. Um we're going to utilize CareerCraft. Um that is going to be able to allow us to target and pinpoint students to see what they are enrolled in. Um track their dual credit, track their industry based certifications. And then we're also going to work with um strengthening our counselor advising, student pathway awareness, uh targeting our junior schools so that they're uh really learning about our pathways and making the right choices as they're coming into high school. All right. And I'll kind of wrap it up uh briefly with
046our [clears throat] plans as a department to prepare for this new accountability. So in this this summer we are currently working on adding industrybased certification vendors for uh new certifications that we plan to add going forward and then also purchasing curriculum resources and providing teacher professional development to support those new IBC's that we're moving um forward with and plan to offer in the future. And then as we come into the fall of 2026, this next fall, we um and throughout the school year, we will be piloting new IBC's. And within that, um we will also as a a level of support during our PLC time, our department's PLC days, we will work with our teachers to establish IBC attainment goals that are aligned to the new accountability targets for each campus. And then finally conduct
047nineweek CCMR progress checks in conjunction with our campus administrators and all of our counselors where we'll focus on reviewing our program of study um our data including our enrollment and our CTE courses, our IBC attainment progress, and then finally our dual credit completion. So that's kind of um how we're going to you know move from this point forward as we move into the new accountability. I will say for time purposes, we gave you extensive data um in the board packet for you to review and we can answer any questions on that, but it was just a lot of information. Um but we wanted to give you that. So we have all of our IBC's, our program of study, what tier they currently are on, what we are looking at moving forward to offer um and
048then enrollment data, IBC's earned um for all campuses. That's it. I >> have a question. I have a couple questions. Yes. >> So, I think my original question for this was how many of our kids are earning CCMR through only IBC's incompleters, the incompleters earning IBC's. And so, I see we have the data in the board packet. It doesn't tell me how many of these kids this is the only way they're earning it. >> Yes, ma'am. Um that is good. >> But I do see that compared to the number of students who are pathway completers, the numbers of those students earning IBC's is pretty low in some of those areas. Uh yes, ma'am. >> So well in a lot of them. So I guess can you speak to that a little bit? >> Is there
049a specific um um Well, let's see. We've got And I will say that we are paying for students to take IBC's now. Um, but it is a student choice. So just like AP, we don't force any of our kids if they don't feel like they're prepared, they do take the pre-EST. Um, but I will make that comment. But if you have a specific one, I can so I'm just looking at the first one. >> Okay. When I look at the health science academy, I see that we have 82 pathway completers and we have uh 27 that are IB that have earned IBC. Yes. So we have two pathways. Biomedical science is one pathway. We are adding the base biomed um science IBC for next school year. That's brand new. I think two years ago that
050certification was added. So our advisory board members have been really heavy on EKG, flambotomy. Um, and most of those kids also are going biology and premed. So our push has also been to get an associates degree for those students, but we are adding that IBC. It is a $200 IBC. So in the past, um, I think I think we were a little leerary on the cost for students, but now we are going to pay that that IBC. >> Weren't we reimbured by the state for IBC's >> for two? Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yes. So >> if they pass >> so then like and then I go down just a little bit the global business academy there are 54 stu completers and only seven have earned an IBC. >> Yes. And so when we move to
051Microsoft Office expert um our students are getting that specialist certification but they're having a hard time reaching that expert level. So we are adding the NOCI general business certification as another option. So we'll give them two options where they can do Microsoft Office or the NOCI exam. their in their practicum class their senior year. So, we're going to try to catch it that way. And then another push also within the global business academy is that dual credit core complete or their associates degree with that emphasis in business. And I understand that. I guess my question is why are our kids passing IBC's? That's my big question right there because we're putting all of our eggs in other baskets when we've we've put a lot of time and energy and money into the CTE programs and
052we're not they're not being successful here. That's my big question. our other teachers are held accountable when their kids are not passing tests. Right. Right. >> And so I feel like these teachers also need to be held accountable if their kids aren't passing tests. >> Yes, I agree. And so and that doesn't mean that we have even every single student taking the test. So we could go further with that data on who who actually tested and that pass rate too. >> So we are looking at that. Yes. And we set goals with our teachers um at our PLC's. Um so it is going to be heavily targeted. Okay, my next question is we offer very few tier one certifications. Um, I know there aren't as many tier one certifications available, but when I look at
053the list of ones that we're looking at adding next year, none of them are tier one. So, there is an American Welding Society that is a package. Um, we are actually looking for that and it'll fit for our a mechanics and welding. It is a tier one. >> Okay. I don't think that was on that list. >> It is. And this I have a sheet that has all the tier ones here. I can sorry I can send to you. >> Um are there any others that we could look at? So most tier three certifications. We have a lot of tier three certifications. >> We're going to explore but most of them are duplicated. So there might be five networking uh tier one certifications. So it's for the same program of study. So that's a challenge
054also is that there's not a big variety. But yes, we're going to explore. Uh there was three I think we were looking into. >> Okay. Is there a reason we're keeping so many tier three certifications? >> So anywhere we can add a tier two to that. Um I think it's also building those skills. So for example, NCCR core is a tier three. So they would take that their sophomore or junior year. And then the next one is carpentry. So that's the tier two. So we still value that tier three certification as a building block for the next level. So I think more than one certification is going to help a student's resume. >> So we are trying to have at least tier 2 or tier three options, >> but we're not getting so we're not
055getting reimbured by the for the tier for well like several different >> Right. So we are going to be very uh specific with students and pathways and making sure with those teachers, okay, which ones are they going to take? Which ones are we going to reimburse? Yes. so that we don't go over the two. >> Okay. And and then another concern like I voiced before is the 5x5. I feel like they're not going to have time to practice the skills needed for those certification exams. So I feel like our numbers could go down. So we have aligned most of those to practicum courses where they span the entire year. So, they're going to have that 80-minute block for the entire year to really focus on those um certifications for a lot of our our when
056you're talking about the skills building every year, they're not having as much practice building those skills every year. That's that's one concern. Um and then when you talk about you'll you'll strengthen the counselor advising piece, what does that look like? So we currently meet with counselors um but we've been working heavily with our uh new director and we are going to start doing more uh workshops throughout the year making sure that they understand especially new counselors coming in do they understand the pathways and then also looking at four-year plans. Um we're moving to edge of things and so we're hoping that that will also help um it's a it's a more userfriendly system for our counselors and we'll be able to track. Okay. Are they going to start meeting with families and students one-on-one to
057do four-year plans or >> I just put them in isn't really a thing but it's required. It is but it's not happening. So >> is it going to start happening I guess is my question because that's where you get kids to buy into programs of study. >> Yes, I agree. It needs to happen. Yes, it will start happening. Okay, that's all my questions. on the preparing for new accountability slide. >> Yes sir. >> Uh would you tell me what an industrybased certification vendor is? >> So all of these different certifications have different entities that we have to buy from. So we have to go through the whole purchasing department, get them to be a vendor, an approved vendor before we can actually buy vouchers to test our students. So, it's a whole process of working
058with our business department to get them set up. >> Okay. And then back several slides in the new accountability tier system, tier two and three say does not require curriculum and the second thing on the preparing for accountability is purchase curriculum. So, what's the discrepancy between? So that was one of the states um if they said that it requires the curriculum then they put it as a lower level. So like tier three where you have to buy a certain curriculum that's kind of where they rated those. So the ones that um like ICV for example for floral design or those we have to buy that curriculum in order to offer we already we already buy that. That's what's been adopted. going to be buying that we don't have >> and >> for this it's going
059to be more buying the IBC vouchers uh to test not curriculum. So it's going to be the vouchers. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. >> Any other questions or comments for this panel? >> That's okay. That's okay. >> Thank you'all very much. Thank you. >> All right. Next, uh we have our GCCISD school health advisory council or shack report. >> If one of y'all would grab that microphone from the podium too and bring it with you. Mr. Flub was already on it. Thank you, sir. All right, welcome. Uh, the only thing I ask is when you're speaking to please make sure you're speaking into the microphone so the people online will be able to hear us. The green light will mean it's on. >> Dr. Gears will be joining us, I believe, here momentarily.
060All right. Good evening, President Campey, members of the board, and Dr. Rodriguez. My name is Amanda Kennington, the coordinator of Healthy Community Schools. I serve as your SHAK facilitator. The SHAK chair and parent representative, Mr. David Reed, is out of town on business this evening. However, we have leads from the council subcommitteees with us tonight to summarize the annual progress and deliver highlights from the 2526 school health advisory council board report. And then uh we'll conclude with some goals for 2627 school year. Before we start our presentation, we'd like any school health advisory council members in attendance tonight to please stand or wave and be recognized. Believe Miss Canyon is here. There she is. Miss Cwell, there she is. And Dr. Times, thank you all for being here and your commitment toward um you achieving
061our policy goals and school health initiatives. Every independent school district is required by state law to establish local school health advisory council or a shack. A primary goal of the shack is to assist the district ensuring that the local community values are reflected in the district's health education instruction. The members act in an advisory capacity to the board of trustees regarding coordinated school health programming and its impact on student health and learning. The shack functions in compliance according to Texas Education Code 28.004. The GCCIC board of trustees approved the appointment of 47 members to the volunteer advisory council. An additional community organiz organization was recruited to bring the total composition of our shack to 25 parents, 20 district employees, and three community representatives. And we're happy to highlight that 25 members uh or 52% of
062the shack are returning members. Participating in the shack is a wonderful way to collaborate with the school district and community organizations or agencies to increase parental awareness of available community programs and services. This group of individuals provide invaluable advice to the district on methods to advance student academic performance by promoting, practicing, and coordinating school health, education, and services. GCCIC hosted SHA hosted four general meetings. Meeting minutes and audio recordings are posted on the shack's website as well as the wellness policy assessment and plan. The shack is divided into each of four standing subcommittees to address the health issues that we may see in our school-aged children along with some ad hoc committees. 12 subcommittee meetings were hosted this year to ensure that all members were engaged in the efforts. I'm going to turn it over
063now to Britney Co Pepper to introduce the newly formed Giant Care Collective which was established this year as a subcommittee of the shack. Hello, I'm Britney Co Pepper, Goose Creek CIC Coordinator Marketing and Giants Care Collective sponsor, a student led subcommittee of the school alpha 53 council. With me are Giants Care Collective members Isaac Silva and Shayla Ortiz. The Giants Care Collective was established in January and and included 18 members, juniors and seniors with representation from all five high schools. We held seven meetings with no sponsored by Airark. So, we appreciate them for that. The team's goal for spring semester was to name the youth advisory board because youth advisory board was kind of boring by itself. Define our mission and run our first health campaign to raise awareness of a health concern affecting teens
064so their peers. Student members decided on the name Giants Care Collective with the mission to elevate student voice and district health and wellness efforts by helping shape meaningful district policy, supporting SHAK initiatives, and leading campaigns that inspire peers to engage in healthier choices. So, the health campaign that the students chose to go after for this semester is the topic of energy drink over consumption. So, you're going to receive a flyer that was handed out. The health campaign ran for the month of April and included establishing the Giants.care Instagram account and creating all the content that came with that and created a campaign for social media. They distributed flyers at Lee College during the wellness walk that was actually coordinated by Isaac, so shout out to him. um distributing flyers and posters at all of the
065high schools. There was a student editorial record. We did a recording on a podcast. So, it was called podcast. There was one about energy drink specifically. That was this group. Um and they hosted a booth at Dia Delino with energy source game that helped ch children identify good and bad sources of energy. So, overall, I'm just incredibly proud of what the students were able to complete in just a semester, and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish next year with a full year to work together. Yes, we are excited about the opportunities to collaborate effort of the giant care collective and bring and look forward to sharing future projects to with you all measuring impacts with the board and the community. I'm going to pass over the mic to our shack secretary to highlight
066uh areas of focus and successes from [clears throat] the 2526 school year. >> Hi, my name is Ashley Cox and I have served as a parent representative on the shack for the past 5 years. I have witnessed how important it is that the home, school, and community collaborate to contribute to each child's success. The shock work focuses on the whole child by engaging stakeholders from various district departments, campus health advisory committees, students, and community partners to implement coordinated school health programming. Each year, we are seeing growth overall in meeting the board wellness goals collectively. As you witnessed earlier this evening, many of our schools were recognized for their whole child efforts locally. Our district has also been recognized on a national level with 13 of our schools earning a place on the America's Healthiest Schools
067list. As a school community, we pledged support of a healthier Texas and earned first in the state community challenge. The district successfully hosted the annual family wellness festival with over 1300 community members in attendance. The goal of the event is to provide free wellness resources and engage the community by promoting healthy habits. Now we will hear from a few of our subcommittees. Hi, good evening everyone. I'm Natalie Edwards. I'm d the director of nutrition services and I want to give a brief um summary of what we did this year with the nutrition services subcommittee. So um along with our recommended focus area to strengthen our coordinated school health efforts for the year, we also had the committee have the opportunity to visit three of our campuses and observe lunchtime routines and nutrition program practices. Um,
068nutrition promotion information can f be found on cafeteria walls, bulletin boards, through social media, marketing campaigns, at catch family nights, and via at home snacking challenges and contests. The photograph on this slide is of Babylon Micro Farms, which is a compact indoor hydroponic unit tailored for K12 students. It allows students to grow fresh produce year round while providing hands-on multidisciplinary lessons in plant biology, sustainability, and agriculture without requiring heavy maintenance. At the catch um family nights, parents had the opportunity to sample what students eat at school. Um at Lee High School, students had an opportunity to participate in our flavor frenzy. and it's a sampling event to give our dietitian and our menu planner um ideas of what the students want for the upcoming school year. We offer popup events, tasty Tuesday, limited time only
069options to encourage students to try new offerings. This year the Buffalo bacon waffleco was a hit. We also served over 190 meals at our family wellness event. Also, you know, with the upcoming regulations about food dyes, um, students had an opportunity, elementary students had an opportunity to transform everyday ingredients like turmeric and beets and habiscus to vibrant colors to dye some eggs. Um, we continue to identify new ingredients and develop tasty menu items in response to federal guidelines related to changes to sodium and sugar standards. So our goal is to keep strengthening our efforts to encourage our students to eat at school. Right now we are doing summer meals. So um all kids can eat free ages 1 to 18 at our open campuses or we partner with Baytown Parks and Rec. So we around
070several parks in the area and Santo Community Center in Highlands. Um and I would like to thank the shack volunteers for their import and continued support. You the health PE physical activity subcommittees they had some key accomplishments um including supporting health instruction prevention education physical activity opportunities and campus wellness events. In 20 26 2027 the committee recommends expanding staff resources for health instruction support movement before and after school across all campuses where feasible. We're looking at expanding opportunities for physical activity throughout the school day, increasing staff training on physical activity integration. The pictures uh on the slides kind of are just a handful of the photos to highlight highlight some innovative ways that schools are integrating comprehensive physical, emotional, nutrition, health education. Uh shade structures this year were installed at Clark and Desabala Elementary. Trees
071were planted at Asheville Smith in January as part of United Way day of service projects. An installation of a shade structure there should be complete within actually the coming week right now. So we should have our final one at the elementary at Asheville Smith, a sun shade. The schools have brought um but it's not necessarily captured. Equally important are the nutrition and character strong lessons, abstinence education, things like substance abuse prevention and more that are taught in the classrooms. The goal is to deliver a holistic engaging wellness program using existing instructional time efficiently. Uh the recess marking projects provides purposeful activity zones for healthy and engaging active play you see pictured um there. School gardens there's a I'm sorry for the uh active recess markings. So there's a hundreds chart there. So there is learning
072taking place also with that activity which is wonderful. School gardens create an inclusive outdoor learning environment where students of all abilities engage in hands-on gardening experiences. We're seeing these spaces supporting students emotional well-being. Time spent outdoors in nature is showing to reduce stress, improve mood, and help students reset. Um, walk to school. We had 10 walk to school events this year engaging families in active trans transportation and physical activity and more than 20 catch family engagement events were were reported including nutrition education and physical activity promotion. Photographed here are Highlands and Days of Color runs as well which both had large community attendance. Dr. Acres, director of employee wellness, served on our wellness plan subcommittee and she'll share a recommendation based off of the assessment and data review. The wellness plan subcommittee reviewed campus healthy
073school assessment data in April of 2026. The committee identified both strengths and opportunities for physical activity, nutrition, and policy implementation. Our data showed notable successes and program evaluation efforts as well as sustainable practices across departments. This crazy looking graph you see on the right. Um, so the there are many many data points within the healthy schools assessment. And so this is a really cool way to look at it. Um overview if you imagine that center point as being at 0% and then all around that circle is every question, every data point we had. So the further you are away from the center, the closer we are to being 100% for those data points. So that gives you an overall look and that was how we could begin to frame our conversations by looking at those
074areas that were closer to the center and knowing that's where we needed to focus. So the committee discovered key overlaps and opportunities to address the areas both to maximize the impact and efficiency of our work so that we're strengthening and not duplicating our current plan. One required board policy area includes a goal for physical activity, specifically goal number six in regards to access to physical activity facilities outside of school areas. The challenge in meeting this uh selected action is that overall as Baytown, we've lost the YMCA. We don't have the boys and girls club. So, we don't have a lot of community facilities supporting those extracurricular activities outside of schools. And so, what we want to do uh what our recommendation for the board um is to look at and develop a revi revised shared
075use policy to try to allow our community to have more access to our facilities uh during non-school hours. These guidelines would include addressing supervision, liability, and maintenance. Um, we want to partner with local organizations, specifically the parks and recreation department, um, to supervise and help us manage that use and continue to publicize our facility availability and schedules to our families and the broader community. Thank you. The proposed shack 202627 strategic prior priorities are to continue increasing the alignment between the district wellness goals and campus implementation strengthen the data collection and evaluation and pro promote sustainable wellness practices across departments. We're going to continue positioning GCCI as a leader in coordinated school health. The SHAK would like to invite individuals that are interested in participating in the 2026 2027 committee to complete an application by visiting
076the GCCSD shack website. Applications have also been sent via parent square. Paper copies are also available upon request. And thank you all for the opportunity to present the continuing progress of the shack and the commitment to healthy schools and healthy students. We appreciate the support of the board of trustees and district leadership as well. Together, GCCISD can continue advancing student wellness and academic success. We'd be happy to answer any questions at this time. >> Any comments or questions? >> Um, Dr. Acres, the policy, shared use policy you're recommending revising, is that a board policy or an administrative polic? Um, I believe that is a board. Okay, >> Miss Acres, would you repeat that in the microphone, please? >> I'm sorry. Yes, that is a board policy. Um, and it is um Do we have it
077on here? >> GKD, I believe it is. So, we're just looking at potentially this year expanding on that. Um, if there is an expand GK. >> Yes, sir. >> GK D. It's right there. >> I'm also excited to see what the shared use policy looks like and the potential that that could help uh our community uh with use of facilities. Um I I think it's remarkable when we have a committee that's built with a majority of parent and student volunteers, not employees. Um we know they do not get paid. they get paid as much as a trustee does. Uh, and they put a lot of work into this. So, thank you for that. Uh, and I just love seeing um the results when non-emp employees come to the table and really contribute to Goose Creek.
078>> That That was amazing. >> We need one for >> Yes. I think the topic was on point. It's amazing. Wonderful flyer. Thank you all for what y'all are doing. Uh and coming tonight to present. Are there any more questions from the panel? >> Thank you. >> One more. Wait. So I do have a question. Who is the lead for Shaq? Is that >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, if there's a request to have the board uh modify the policy, you and I are going to have to have a conversation because the board would need to take action. I just want to make sure everybody's aware that presenting and walking away doesn't mean that that is action has been taken. So, sometime next week if we can have a conversation be great. So, we can
079bring it back for an action item. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. Great enough, everybody. Well, since you graduated, you can charge. You ought to start charging now by the hour. >> Thank you. It is a great flyer. >> Great job. >> That concludes discussion. >> All right, that concludes superintendent reports and discussion items. We'll move on to item number 11, action items. Dr. Rodriguez, 11 A, please, sir. >> Yes, sir. 11 A, we have consider and take possible action on adoption of the 2026 27 proposed budgets for general fund, debt service fund, and child nutrition fund. What is the pleasure of the board? >> I move we approve the budget as presented. >> Second. >> I heard a motion by Mr. Clem to approve and a second by Miss
080Bratton. Is that correct? >> Correct. To approve as presented 11A. Any discussion on this item? Hearing none. All in favor, please signify by raising your hand. Seeing 740 against, the motion passes unanimously. >> I do want to thank um I do want to thank administration. Yes, I need a round of applause to administration is appropriate. Um, I do want to say this during the during the interview process, one of the things that we talked about collectively was that it was important to get away from planning a budget and to begin budgeting a plan. And I do want to highlight uh Mrs. Clark and her team cuz they ran with the concept and it's very difficult to have a balanced budget in today's educational world. So because of that I Mrs. Clark to delete. But I
081do also want to acknowledge that there are many administrators, principles included, that also understood that we are transitioning to budgeting a plan, which is a very different mindset. So yes, thank you to the board for uh requesting that this be moved up, Mr. Clan. Appreciate that. And I appreciate the board taking action on the item. And of course, more than anything, I appreciate the administrator. So, thank you very much. >> Good job. Now we will clap. >> Dr. Rodriguez, thank you for your leadership and of course, Miss Clark and everyone at Goose Creek that had a part in that. Uh to pass a balanced budget like Dr. Rodriguez said, in today's day and age, uh today is a day for Goose Creek to really be proud of where we've been and where we are now.
082So, Miss Clark, thank you to you and your team as well. All right, Dr. Rodriguez, we can move on to consent agenda 11B. >> Yes, sir.
