001a pledge aliance to the Texas one State under God one and indivisible thank you okay uh so we got a couple of groups to recognize uh this month uh we'll probably recognize several groups as we go through the rest of the year a lot of success here at the school over the last month and a half or so so we're going to first uh recognize our cheerleading squad for for their girls you just want to walk all the way across and then Shake gra and may have to make two rows [Music] turn around this way turn okay I know coach B in here there's coach ballach on the side so coach I'll turn it over you we're so much closer to y'all than normal can can take a step back or two we're very excited
002to see you guys thank you guys so much for recognizing us uh behind me is the 2024 2025 log of vistage year program um they had a very successful season they are a yearr program so no rest for them we actually started this process this time last year they're actually leaving from here directly going to the gym and uh changing clothes and going back to work we're selecting our team for next year literally tonight um so they are one of the few student groups that does go a full year and supports other student groups along the way while making time for their own season they're often the first ones in the parking lot last ones to leave um this is an extremely gritty group of girls I'm super super proud of them as far as
003like how mentally tough they are they show up they do the hard work they don't complain um this is not an easy sport and uh when you have had as much success as they have had the pressure can become overwhelming it becomes just this this kind of being of its own and at their age being able to handle that kind of pressure and expectation that we set for them just never ceases to amaze me they're the reason I keep coming back year after year after year and just like keep wanting to do this job um just because of these young women right here um we had an extremely successful comp season they won uh multiple Regional titles through um our qualifier events leaving up leading up um at the U state championship they were the
004top uh performers in the prelim category they had the highest score going into finals they won I believe our sixth fight song title that day I believe that's our 13th uh category title overall for the program and uh came home with silver medals around their necks as the state runner up we're super super proud of them uh UIL has only been hosting hting a cheerleading state competition for 10 years and this was their eighth medal for the program uh seventh consecutive so we're very very proud of this group in their achievements they also were able to represent logo Vista on the national stage and be just one of the absolute top contenders in the division again um again can't say enough good things about them their hard work and what they were able to accomplish
005this season I want to show hate this but my uh Coach K where are you I want to recognize Les CA she um we are a two women band here she not only helps me with the high school is our assistant runs our JB program she single-handedly runs our middle school program which has moved up into being a competitive program and just has really improved what um is coming into our program she does a tremendous job and doesn't get enough credit for it um so want to recognize her today and Coach tell me if I'm right or wrong but we're tied for the most state championships in uio we're uhhuh uh Randle won their six this year we have five we're you we're we are the top uh we have the most category wins which
006in the prelims they give out B fight song crowd leading those are incredibly tough to win we do have the most of way more all classifications yes it is we're super proud of certainly a lot of tradition here in girls always fun to watch I know y'all put put a lot of work in like Co ball said and so we we thank you for representing logo and the way that you do not only at the state level but at the national level so so thank you'all for that so awesome job much and that's a cheer shirt I don't have I'm just saying okay turn for a pict your face that way please quickly they never okay this way like three seconds thank you girl great job problem okay next we've got girl basketball so Coach
007K and Coach will come up with their girls [Music] uh waiting on a few that do a couple extra things they do that cheer stuff too so back they're coming back through for round two cuz why uh all right this is our lady biking basketball team from this season uh this is the team that we took to the playoffs um they went 21 and 10 this season 12 and0 and District district Champs um I challenged them at the beginning of the year knowing that our our district wouldn't be that big of a challenge um and put a bunch of teams in front of them that to put it nicely were hard okay um they kind of kind of gave us a little bit of a wake up call and allowed for us to have a
008lot of success come District time um even in some some of those tight games we were able to pull back from all those um early tough games to be able to um Prevail in some of those and and become District chance no matter what district you're in you win them all um and you're undefeated it should it counts for something and and should definitely be recognized um individual accolades with this team okay um as I said they dominated the district so in the All District Individual stuff Awards just a few of the things that the these young ladies were able to accomplish you can wave when I say your name okay honorable mention Olivia PA second Team all district Piper Olen U First Team all district Scott Stamos Mia kinslo Eliana hton and Sydney moer
009um co-defensive player of the year are lone senior uh mattye castle and District MVP um sailor Stamos she is Al sailor was also recognized by TABC as part of the 4A Region 4 All Region team as well so um like I said one senior out of this group so expecting a lot out of him in next season um and hopefully uh the lessons that they learn on the court that they can take them off the floor as well so thank you all for having us good job job oh I forgot coach HTH is here this is my assant coach coach the year I'm just glad you're hear thank you appreciate have all righty we have one person signed up to speak Mr Harris yes yeah this is nothing as I was explaining to Holly this
010is nothing in reference to anything on the agenda it's just in regards to a conversation that came up in the last city council meeting um they're looking at doing a study of speed limits in town and looking at some streets that maybe are a little funky and maybe they can make some consistency on the speed limits that are in place prime example lman forward um if you include when the speeds uh when the school zone is in effect lman Ford changes speed limits seven times I guess between by the time you come off of 1431 to until you hit the county line or the city limits there seven times and so one of the suggestions was just in reference to lman Ford leave the 35 alone cuz that's kind of a busy business district and
011it was floated to change the rest of it just make it a flat 45 through the whole thing and that would wouldn't be such a big break if you're doing 50 or faster and then all of a sudden you have to go to 35 for the school zone and 45 mph is halfway between 40 50 it's really not going to have a huge impact on anybody's travel time slower speeds um equal less fatalities injuries in the event of a crash I'm a retired police officer so I'm familiar with that um and 45 mph is it's not like there's if you're really in a hurry and you get stopped you're even going to be later so why not just go 45 and the difference between 45 and 50 might be what I don't know 30 seconds
012a minute to get to 1431 so anyways I just thought I would throw that out there to let y'all know that's something that's going on in the event that the school might want to send a letter to the school to the city council saying whatever or maybe do nothing it just uh make you aware so thank you um School Board appreciate it so much I appreciate that you all righty there's nobody else signed up so we are going to enter 611 into public hearing okay you got m here and we're going each year we have to provide a um hearing on the Texas Academic performance report called the tyer report and so uh I want to thank m p for putting the PowerPoint together and so I'll turn it over to and get started all
013right um our yearly um tpr hearing um we have some visitors this time so that's nice um because it is a public hearing and public is here so that's great um I do um I have created a uh brief slideshow to cover the um annual report and the required details uh but I would like to remind everyone that the complete annual report which looks like this printed out um is available at our log of us to ISD website as well as um you can ask for a paper copy from District or campus offices um the the report is lengthy and much of this report we cover earlier in the year uh with the board going over our star data so um I'm going to kind of call that piece because it's been something that we
014have already covered but I do have a few balcony level views of that that I'll share with you these are the components of the report that we will be sharing today our accreditation status the pe's financial report the tap campus performance objectives uh report out on violent we don't have this in our packet right we have the full report in our packet but not the not not okay I just want to make sure I wasn't miss this okay than and then postsecondary performance so part one accreditation uh we are accredited that's good news um uh and and really it's just you are or you aren't um and then our First Financial rating is a superior rating achievement um thanks to the hard work of Mr Stoner over here uh again we have not had new
015accountability ratings released for a couple of years now um those are still hung up in the courts um so we have nothing new to report out there um and our spe special education accreditation status meets requirements so again I'm of students that meet or hire approaches is that basic level of passing meets is really where we want to see most of our students because it's not just meeting the bare minimum um that is what makes us competitive to have more students in the meets and then Master's categories so you can see Year bye state is blue Region 13 is gray and our district is yellow we have year-over-year outperformed overall in our star performance for meets which is not just that basic level but the meets level year after year um so and you can
016notice kind of some natural uh progressions along the way kind of following the trend then if we look at reading we can see that again logo vist is that first set of bars and year over-ear from left to right most recent on the left we have been stable um as much of the region and the state have been in their performance um and have been outperforming by 5 to 10 points uh um year after year math we we know the story for math looks a little different we've had these conversations um every year like what are we doing how are we improving what trends are we noticing but I do think sometimes we um miss the mark in looking at not just that approaches or not just that Master's level but meets meets is is
017kind of the standard for where we want most of our students to be right um and we are stable right we saw a small dip last year have been working on some specific grade level targeted um supports for teachers um and students to bring that bar up as we approach this coming year our pe's financial report like I said A+ Superior rating for us this um is just one data point taken from the team's financial report that I think tells a great story and that story is per student we are spending less than the state average if I have that wrong Mr Stoner please interject um I think out we are fiscally responsible we do a good job of of of Meeting those student needs this specifically looks at um really our staffing and so
018as we're thinking and looking at districts across around us and across the state that are cutting staff um we are already spending Less in that area compared to other districts so as we make tough decisions about Staffing I want to bring this forward and remind you of that we are already doing a great job of of not being fluffy there right question yes that seems counterintuitive so you're saying we spend less than the state average is that correct is that was a statement yes this may be an 8 minute question but how is that good like shouldn't we be spending as much as we can based on what we're allocated yeah we spend as much as we can we have $950 so we we stretch as far as we can possibly go so you're saying
019we get we're not there's no overig is that correct okay so we're hitting right at that threshold and probably a little over our sche scho deficit budget okay thank you for that question okay uh campus performance objectives um at the beginning of the year we uh approved the district and campus Improvement plans um I wanted to remind you of what our uh District Improvement plans are regarding House Bill 3 and provide you a quick update on where we are in that that respect uh again our campus and District Improvement plans are posted online uh for the public to to um access House Bill 3 ear early literacy this is our district goal the percentage of third grade students that will meet grade level standards or above on the star reading assessments will increase to at
020least 85% or higher on this year star with an increase of 3% for each group evaluated under closing the gaps domain um and we have Baseline data this is a required performance objective but I wanted to point out that this year we have introduced a new um nationally normed assessment for K through 12 um our reading and math um that has really helped us hone in on um monitoring student progress um looking at student growth one by one and what this early data is showing us from our projected proficiency report for third grade star reading we are currently above that 85% projected to um achieve 93% um and so that hard work and the attention to the details is paying off we similarly have an early numeracy goal um that states that um we will
021increase to at least 80% or higher um with an increase in of 3% for each of the subpopulations and currently uh third grade is performing at 81% so again we are on track to meet or exceed that goal and the great thing about that map growth data is we can look grade level by grade level I know um in talking about math particularly it's been on our radar and it's given us a lot of insight and teachers administrators a lot more timely information about student progress our ccmr goals are here to provide ongoing structures in quarterly per this is always going to be lagging data um also to increase the percentage of students earning college credit through on-ramps dual credit dual enrollment dual credit and advanced placement exams by 3% um first bullet is harder
022to track at this point in the year but I can report to you that our counselors have ongoing meetings and supports to meet that goal the second bullet I'd like to point out that one of our ships this year was to offer um US history in u the format of onramps rather than advanced placement we found that many of our students were taking the a AP US History exam and it is one of the if not the most challenging uh AP tests so we made a shift this year here to on-ramps for US history and already uh not only have the numbers of students enrolled in the course um grown significantly but we can see from their first semester results that we already have so many more students receiving credit for this course and they
023will have second semester as well in order to earn more college credits our final bullet here is to increase the percentage of students completing coherent course sequences and earning aligned industry-based certific C certifications by 5% um this is uh work not only done by our counselors and our administrators to guide these students but also uh we are very lucky to have an amazing uh Team of CTE teachers who also um lead that charge motivate our students and prepare them for the industry based certifications violent or criminal incident report um so I pulled this directly took a snippet from the tea website and I apologize that it's difficult to read um you'll see for um the reported offenses which um which are listed here uh there are several that say like 9.99 and only two that
024have reported data the two that have reported data are um violating the student code of conduct and we had 95 incidents of those um those um disciplinary actions last year and we had 18 across the district incidents of fighting mutual combat um that could be a simple as you know a scuffle or it might even be um it's not isolated to high school so it could be kindergartener you know acting out uh with another kindergartener but these are not um considered violent offenses by Nature we would be looking more assault so we have zero to report when it comes to um incidents of violence how should we read the negative 999 oh I'm sorry the negative 999 um that is usually going to be like uh only like one or two and because of fura
025fed U um the protection of of students records educational records and their privacy we don't report um they they don't show up so that it can't be identifiable so this is a good news so based on what we were hearing last year vaping was a big deal and we had less than two in an entire school year last year we had a small amount we if it's a999 it's two last year was that was the year that dap and I actually last so it made a huge difference did that's great yeah yeah I pulled it up earlier and it was in the double digits last year they masked the data if it's small for small districts so that that person identify deducted disclosure no I get the reason why but like is it you know
026we don't know if it's one two or five not sure very small number all right otherwise it would be registered [Music] so your community the roughly five or less vacant incidents this year is that correct last year last year last is that a correct statement that this is 2020 three and four I think she said proba 20 23 24 days 23 24 it's pulling coded I just lost one um so it would have to be coded with that incident code in our in the discipline system it just seems a huge drop in your point also if that's the case it just seems like a very very huge drop yeah I mean it was a very huge drop I will say that made a difference in a lot of schools by by the mandatory dap so
027it really made a huge difference so that is good especially at the middle school I know it made a big difference do you know how we compared those two data points across similar districts like us so um I can point out exactly where to get this and you can like it is all there you can you can be really inquisitive crazy report yeah if you want the link get super detailed okay thank you yes all right uh post secondary Readiness these reports are pulled from The Higher Education Coordinating Board um and the first one shows the average or the uh GPA bands for our students who uh venture out from logo Vista High School and enter the top row is fouryear universities and um 2-year universities you notice that um off to the right are
028the higher gpas and and that kind of like middle to the right is is where we want our students to land um we did have you know less than 10 probably per um 4 year and 2year University that had below uh 2.5 qpa based on that um from my experience parenting being a counselor and being an administrator I think that's pretty darn good um once they leave us there's only so much we can do but the rest of that story shows that our students entering those universities are are entering them prepared and well equipped to be successful this is just State University and state this is this is only inate yes it's not counting out State yes these are public inate universe so probably if they went to that washing be knock found we have
029several kids that go to Arkansas kids that's where Olivia was first accepted right and then this is uh based on our graduates of 2022 where they enrolled in the following school year um number a large number in ACC followed by Texas State Texas and um that year we did not have as many Longhorns but um again this is not the most recent I think um it's always fun to see at the end of the year whether you know they're orange or or uh maroon or wherever they're going um and those Trends change from year to year all right so um this ends our tpr um presentation um for many years this was Dr Lin gig so uh either he or I are here to answer your questions if you have any this is a public
030hearing so if you have any questions from the audience y this is your time to ask I if I understood correctly um a violent incident assault doesn't fall into that category did I hear that right or wrong so I'm sorry and I can show you because it's easier to see fighting mutual combat does not fall under violent assault wood yeah there was a separate there was a separate line item for us yes yeah it is because there is assault there is um terroristic threat uh criminal mischief um I understand it's not your category so that but I I understand but um having been an administrator and and um um identifying you know um fighting mutual combat and looking at the the various like um extremities of what that could look like could be very could
031be well usually it's not because otherwise it would have escalated into assault yeah our definition in the student code of conduct of assault is the same as the penal code so normally that would require police action for something coded as assault yeah otherwise it's coded at the lower mutual combat or fighting I can see where mutual combat wouldn't necessarily be considered an assault but to say it's not a violent incident that just makes me scratch my head yeah I don't necessarily disagree but you know it istics and it is nuanced um any other questions if we can can we go back to the star scores I just want to better understand and that are we saying that if I understand it was like the percentag in 40s and 50s those what met standards or okay
032so again with star and um I'll clarify that so passing is what we would call approaches and our um and that's going to be a much higher number that that that just passing standard is called approaches okay it's a little confusing meets is is a level higher right it's a more U rigorous uh or you know um a student who has outperformed just um beyond the basic so so are the stats for PA in there were all report yes yes where we at there this percentage wise so it's going to look pretty similar um but really if we're going for students achieving at higher levels which is what we want we want to be looking at Meats uh we shouldn't be satisfied with just right I'm just curious are we you know are we 80
03390% or meeting the standard or I'm kind of curious what that is how we we will follow the trend what you'll see is when you look at that we'll follow the trend of of District stra State and region um and sometimes it's you know a little bit higher or lower but um depending on we were above at or above State and I think Regional level 22 out of the 24 tested subjects if you include the you know the lower standard so yeah to when you were talking about the literacy versus numy I believe it was there was a little bit of a not as high I guess uh just out of curiosity do you all have tools uh to identify uh what what is causing that discrepancy in terms of you're great here I mean
034you're great but then you know what is missing I just I'm just curious and um I mentioned that we introduced a new districtwide National normed assessment this year and that was one of the purposes to dig a little bit deeper and look um year-over-year at um it allows us to look at the a student level like from year to year what's going on in each classroom each grade level and it breaks it down into specific skill areas where we need to close gaps and so um because we had seen uh some Str in math in the past this was one of the responses um was to to bring in more information so that we can um be more proactive in in um in closing those gaps and getting that number as high as the reading
035and on the literacy there's a lot more alignment you know in terms of like from year to year what that looks like you'll see in in mathematics like the what whatever the area of focus is for a particular grade level can shift especially as they start getting into third and fourth and then in Middle School um and you'll see even on star that like the passing standard on the sixth grade test is 31% right so that's what they hope a kid reaches is 31% um and so a lot of those variables really help us lean into the map because it is nationally normed and provides us a little bit more of a longitudinal view of student progress and growth and we can identify you know a lot more simply like oh measurement right seems to
036be area of you know need and um it used to be estimation before Co now they're really good at visualizing 3 and six ft I will tell you that um and so uh it really does help us kind of get a a bigger picture of District needs and then grade level and then even down to the individual student so I I appreciate your question and everyone does a fantastic job but our Gap at a school level is on the back of social science and reading and not on the back of science and math and i' would love us to continue the maps and all the work you're doing to continue to dig into how to make our kids more successful on the science and math because the data is very very clear that is why
037we're better than the state average and one can argue is that a good thing or bad thing yeah right great you're you're faster than the slowest person running from the bear yeah um we've got a lot of work to do in science and math and I I continue to applaud you and your effort there thank you any other questions any questions from y'all 6:35 close public portion of that hearing thanks Mr pass all right than we got discussion in possible approval of intermediate renovation program partner yes so uh talk about this for a couple of months now uh you know we're talking about renovating our intermediate uh school not only getting rid of portable but and bringing in a module building that will host um eight classrooms and we've got another uh portal that we'll
038bring in that will also uh house our dap uh kids and then we're also looking to go inside the current intermediate uh school and and try to refurbish some of those areas uh tis floor tiles paint partitions just a very uh a lot of things uh Furniture as well uh really trying to you know uh update the the intermediate school and with all this going on I would like to uh ask the board to approve uh us using um Sledge a Region 13 and uh Casey Sledge for a program program partner uh this is not as a big a project is what we've had in the 22 Bond or the 20 Bond uh you know the the monitor building will probably be the uh you know the heaviest load as far as getting it set
039uh the rest of it will be things that will uh you know be done during the summer it's a two-month project we're looking at and so uh I would like to recommend uh Sledge Region 13 to provide that service for us uh Casey and and Region 13 has been a a great partner with us during the 22 Bond and uh has really been a big help getting us started uh moving forward with that so I'll certainly take any questions we have Jennifer here from uh Sledge uh she can answer any questions uh if you were like Casey was going to be here had uh emergency come up and so he called me this late this afternoon said jennif will be here to help answer any questions uh you know the cost to do all this
040is uh is a I think a very low cost at $48,000 and uh um and so it's my recommendation to approve this if that's the direction of the board I'll take any questions that you may have is there any reason why Sledge isn't on the agreement it just says Region 13 because the agreement is with region Region 13 Sledge is there but it doesn't need to Showcase that in the document no if not the documentation is going through Region 13 okay Sledge one what I'm if I'm correct because I wanted to go after that but Sledge was awarded through an RFQ process and once they're awarded their RFQ process to be the preferred rev for Region 13 documentation all res with Region 13 okay do you request approval for Region 13 yeah yeah yeah so
041I mean we have discussion after the motion I just move that we accept your recommendation to move forward with the agreement as presented with Region 13 I second Kevin made the motion e seconded discussion I I notic there's several things that are different than our last project you don't have any problem with the things that are excluded you still think the intentions and I I did talk with Casey about that and he said if if he needs to get it done he'll get it done so if something does come up and it's not in what's excluded he will make sure it's taken care of so okay um I guess my my one question how is it procured through the I mean just through an RFQ is that is that how you procured the services I
042mean I yeah technically we wouldn't have to procure the services with that with it it's done right meaning with their RFQ being them being awarded we're we're taking care of on our purchasing side yes because we're going through their Co-op right all right right then we're good Jennifer you want to add anything to that okay uh no I don't think so you've kind of covered all of the contractual stuff but I do want to reiterate exactly what um Darren said which is no matter what you guys need we're here pick up the phone we're always helping um and this one one of the reasons project partner fits so well is because it's not your big full-blown project plus we're very familiar with working with ISD staff with Darren and Jason and Adam so we have
043kind of boots on the ground so we can really work it out better and keep that price down any additional questions or comments we have a motion in a second all those in favor say I I I opposed motion carries so uh discussion and possible approval of utilities and modifications to the modular class from buildings at the intermediate campus okay actually we got Jennifer here uh she will explain some of what's what's going on what we want to recommend I think you had a rationale that that Casey did provide to you thank you which I think was very uh uh self-explanatory uh this is just the first part we really need to get uh the the electricity part uh taken care of and and of course we also uh did some building modifications on the
044smaller portal building uh when we were looking at it we we're dividing up the uh sped offices and the d uh the DAP will be kind of a u a separate uh classroom it will not be connected to any of the offices or anything like that we have a uh totally separate uh entrance uh door on on the back side and so to make those modifications on the smaller uh portal uh you know that that some of the cost uh we're going to be adding three offices to that area for our sped Department as well as Reception Area uh part of the the original hallway is going to be converted to storage uh we also had to relocate the the bathroom for the daap to make it uh in the in the classroom itself and
045not uh down the hallway or anything so we had to make some modifications to that and that's part of the 36,000 that you're seeing uh and of course the electrical part is uh is is the biggest biggest point so uh Schultz and J prob let you kind of take over but uh uh we we talked to Schultz uh house moving uh they perform these in-house Services all the time and so Jenifer I'll let you kind of take it from there uh yeah so in regards to the uh modifications I think that's pretty clear those are being done for change of use from when you purchase the building so you have your dap separated from your sped so that's all worked out that way it's pretty straightforward number um both casy and myself have reviewed it
046compared to other modifications that we've seen done and it's it's it's actually a little bit lower than what we're used to seeing but I think it's because they do so much in house right so they can they have their own staff and they can take care of that they've done great great work so that one's a no-brainer to me um the electrical there's several components what this electrical does not include is the PC Transformer which will come in June so this is all the electrical from the buildings to the um equipment the PC will connect to and all the underground conduits and we're not running anything overhead um this will get it ready so when PC comes in June we're ready for them to go ahead and tie power it so that's what all these
047electrical electrical components that you see listed out are for um and then of course you have the larger building we're not making um any wall moving or anything on that one so um they still intend to have that ready to be here in June I believe um because they will get it to your yard they'll start doing a lot of applications I'll have it ready for June as well as PC getting in here and we'll get um get that going I if they have any questions are they bringing is it are they bringing in the three-phase power is that what you know I believe it is yes I would think it has to be for running both both buildings as Standalone right do you have to prepay I'm sorry do you have to prepay PC
048to get on their schedule we will have to uh yes once they get us the price we will need to get them to get in the cube we learned that from the last project yes commercial PEC does the work not the design that we have to do the work for okay say that again one more time on commercial is it different than residential because normally PC will design it and the contractor has to do the work so yes that's exactly correct so PC is they do their design for their Transformer and their connection from their Transformer to our rack what this includes is the contractor installing the rack that PC will tie into it everything else that goes to the building so it's the I think that's exactly what you were saying so this is
049that I mean how tight are we on budget Mr Stoner because I would encourage increasing that contingency by another 50% based on what I've seen come back from PC on the residential side I think 20 is pretty light if if we're tight on budget well you're but but this this does include the PE Seaside right there's a contingency for PC of 20,000 in this so that's if they come up with some design that we need to do something different but our Schultz's electricians have met on site with PEC twice now so we feel pretty confident that big changes PC would ask for 20,000 is not a lot I understand that yeah because it's not that much right yeah right especially when you talk electrical GE understand are they having you put conduit out to the
050Hoffman box then conduit it out to some meat Point installing a rack which is where all the the PC will set a Transformer right um where they said I haven't been on the site but they'll set a Transformer PC will run cables from that Transformer to our rack the rack we install and then we take the power from there we don't mess with their Transformer but we'll have the conduit underground and all of that going to they just pull through it which is correct a huge cost savings they're just pulling it through exist absolutely yep a motion so moved Greg made the motion to approve the utilities and modifications to the modular classroom building at the intermediate campus second I will second made the second any additional questions or comments all those in favor say
051I I I oppos 6 thank you okay thank you Jennifer thank you discussion possible approval of Vikings daycare tuition based prekas uh certainly let Jason and Susie answer any questions but uh they have reviewed the the numbers uh for for this year and next year uh looking at the enrollment and with the current pricing that uh that we're using uh we feel like we can uh recommend the the race to say the same uh as this current year for the year 25 26 school year uh and I'll certainly let Jason or Susie talk more about that or if there's any questions we'll we'll take those on and I think uh I think how you put that in the packet so you can see the current break have Baby Bo so that help pretty nice in
052a world where everything's Rising that we actually get to keep something the same that's what we said but you know this year we had a pretty low infant number that's obviously our you know kind of our money maker yeah it is it's our money maker we only have room for four infants for about half year we only had one we're actually up to four now that's been super recent but we already have a waiting list for next year and that's if we're if we're full and infants we're in great shape how many teachers are using the how many teachers are using the program or employees employees sorry um okay like this would be a super General number um I'd say um I mean we're probably 60% staff kids maybe higher you oh you yeah he's
053the number guy um I do see all them I can tell on their faces if like oh I know who your mom is um but yeah we and we have a waiting list of Staff kids for next year so that's good news awesome and I've had a kid in the daycare for seven years now so just to confirmed staff doesn't get a discount they just advertise over 12 versus 10 correct it's all pretty discounted but in terms of budgeting you know our ability to know what we need to be full based on no matter where the student whether it's a community kid or a staff kid you we run on pretty tight margins by Design um and so um it's about as discounted we you know regularly check uh Community rates to make sure we're
054the best game in town and we for the other couple other private schools out here definitely added there's 16 kids that are employes kids there's 14 employees thank you Jason you're you're comfortable with the rates and being able to yes cash flow make the payments on this okay all right I move that we approve little Vikings daycare and tuition based pre- rates as presented second Greg made the motion e seconded any additional questions comments all those in favor say I I opposed 60 uh school calendar okay everyone's favorite topic yeah not a lot of changes uh you know our staff has really enjoyed the the current calendar for a few years now uh and so you know we we always uh you know if if if there's not a lot of complaints you know we
055kind of stick with it uh there's really only two minor changes uh it really doesn't affect the uh uh this the students other than one day they're going to actually get an extra day off the two changes are uh staff will be off on MLK day and then we're also adding an extra day off in May right after the start testing uh the one thing that our staff has said from April until the end of school is a long run and you know not to have any days off and uh and so by looking at the calendar you can see that uh STAR testing will be over like on the uh or the the the window will be over on May 1 and so we decided let's take that Monday off to kind of give
056everybody just a day to relax and kind of catch their breath and then we can finish up the last two and a half three weeks uh from uh from the Ford so but if you look at it that's a pretty good pretty good haul from uh from May or April 6th till the end of school so so uh that one day I think we'll make a big difference um and we get into the to the month of May just to confirm that the color coding was missing gray is student yeah I'll add all the pretty stuff but yes no I know you gray no sorry gray is all and blue is Staff St okay the staff will be here on the blue Days Blue and Gray will be students holidays got it right the light
057blue is STAR testing the window um Easter and Good Friday are about two weeks earlier uh next year as opposed to this year so it really did make a very long run from uh April 7th through May 21st so um we had had the day um this does build in three days and 34 I think 3.46 days um and so it's probably 3 days and too late starts um and we have this year yes and um we've had pretty pretty solid feedback from parents and staff part of the feedback is just liking the consistency of like knowing like we're always going to have week off in November we're always going to have good Friday and Easter Monday like the more consistency we can offer that's really been helpful for parents and staff members and kind
058of planning out their year nothing to do with Star Wars on May the 4th it just happened to be a good day all right a motion I move we approve the calendars presented David Scott made a motion second is that you Kevin y Kevin seconded any additional comments questions all those in favor say I I opposed 60 uh discussion possible action on the student code of conduct and Education Code chapter 37 okay so just wanted to kind to make y'all aware of of things as far as when you know we all know that we had a couple of threats uh a few weeks ago uh maybe month and a half ago uh at sorry so uh so I just wanted to kind of talk to you about you know the student code of conduct uh
059you know what we're we are required to do by uh state law in chapter 37 and not going to get too deep into it but did want to just provide some uh some general thoughts and comments about this and so uh you know there's basically two types of dap placements uh the first one is a discretionary uh placement and you should have this uh in the packet and and guys I didn't put um all the different uh types of the fences cuz it's it's a lot uh I think I did send you the handbook code of conduct in yes you got the whole code of conduct in there and so uh types of discretionary placements uh possessing or using a lookalike weapon uh using an air gun or a BB gun having a razor or
060a box cutter pocket knife of some type that the blade is less than 5 1/2 in uh fighting or scuffling uh as it's called and and then of course uh inappropriate exposure body parts is a discretionary dap improper use possession of being under the influence of prescription drugs all these are are mandated by chapter 37 which is the state uh the second type of uh placement is mandatory and these uh engages in conduct relating to false report uh false alarm or report including a bomb threat or a terroristic threat involving a public school which that's what we had uh also commits the following offenses on school property or within 300 ft of school property uh or while attending school sponsored or related activity owner off uh school property so anything that uh can be punished
061as a felony uh if someone sells gives or delivers to another person or possess uses or is under the influence of controlled substance or A Dangerous Drug in any amount not constituting a felony uh anybody that sells gives and delivers to another person or possess or uses or is under the influence of marijuana or THC um you know uh giving or selling someone uh alcoholic beverage or possesses or under the influence of alcohol and then also talks about ecigarettes and these are just a few uh and you can certainly go into the code of uh conduct and look at all these so these are just some of the uh the I guess offenses that are mandatory and so when a a student uh happens to do one of these offenses it is mandatory no no
062matter how bad the parents you know complain or you know what the issue is we have to put them in Dap uh in some type of placement and and so you know the main topic here is is what kind constitutes a school threat specific such as naming a particular person or group or it may be more General and vague so uh whenever that happens and we find out who who made those threats or uh you know made the drawings or or you know wrote in a notebook or whatever then the principles have to call a uh de the hearing uh that happens within 3 days of the of the offense uh there they normally put out of school uh suspension for 3 days and then within that 3 days they will uh schedule a hearing
063and to to talk about the offense now in deciding whether to place a student and dap uh regardless whether the action is mandatory or discretion the principal or campus Behavior coordinators shall take these things into consideration one was it self-defense if there was some type of assault or or fight or whatever was there intent or the lack of intent at the time the student engaged in the conduct uh have to look at the students disciplinary history a disability that could impair the students cap uh capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of the student conduct so uh that is something that if a if a student is in uh special education then there has to be an R meeting to determine did that disability calls that action and so uh so you have to do that or
064is a student in uh in uh some type of conservatorship of the uh Department of Family and protective services and then if a student is coded as homeless under the mckin vento homeless assens act that has to be taken into consideration so there are some factors that as as the principles go into the the AP meetings that they they do look at uh they do look at the intent they do look at the history uh and you know when someone makes a uh you know a thread of some type you know whether they're a good kid or not they have to go to DAP and and a lot of times the parents will say he's a great kid and they and sometimes they are good kids they just make dumb comments uh you know bad
065judgments and but they do have to go to DAP uh for for extended period of time they they they look at previous history and different things for as far as the placement the length of the placement and then there's also a review after so many days to see you know what does that look is that student cooperating he or she been been to school every day and then at that review they they possibly could get out you know a few days early if they're if they've been doing everything been asked to do I have a quick question um so as it pertains specifically to people either joking making threats like they're going to shoot up the school or shoot somebody we have to De we have to call the police and have them come on
066site and we've gone through this three times at the middle school or in the second or third time second for sure yeah where we've had to call the police out and um get them involved and interrupt their day of fighting actual crime um we're not trying to get let those people off I mean how they're going to DAP right straight to and then the police also have issues with them because they've been called to basically it's a false report and and then it's up to the police that they take it to the uh the da or not at that point right and then I do want to point out that uh I wasn't able to attend but that y'all did do those assembly meetings at the middle school to explain to students that this would
067be the punishment that it's basically akin to saying as a joke I have a bomb in my bag when you're going through U the airport I mean that St very seriously I think the the the assembly was well intended I don't know Miss Vincent if the articulation of what the punishment is when you choose to do this was actually made it was more of a Greg you were there it's more of a kind of I come to Jesus meeting I don't know I don't know what the right expression was but it wasn't a I think it was more an emotional plea for stop misbehaving than it was was a clearly articulated view of here's what happens when you do this and this is why it's serious yeah I think if we've had such success with
068explaining to students that if you get caught vaping you're going straight to Da then maybe we need to use that same message with this I I will say I've visited with um I visited with the uh with Taylor city manager and and chief we since Taylor has come on at board as the interim we're starting to meet uh once a month month and just at our last meeting we talked about doing a a city school district joint uh evening meeting for all parents and students and and the chief and myself or principales will talk about basically what Kevin was just talking about you know the importance of knowing what you shouldn't say whether you're joking or not and then what the consequences are upon saying that and being caught this is what would happen and
069so we're just now starting to talk about that make it CommunityWide uh invite all the parents and and their students if if they want to come and and do it at the pack and then that way uh you know parents they want to come after school and listen to it and bring their kids that way maybe to bring drive home a point we're going to work to do that so but to your point we can certainly continue to remind them of of the consequences well not only the consequences here but the potential legal consequences as well um and also that you know the joking around and all that I know I read about one shooting not necessarily in a school but there were some kids that had seen that this that this other kid was
070going to do but they thought he was joking he been joking all the time so I mean that's why I just want to express uh did we send an email out to the parents communicating this information no I think it would be beneficial official if we put this in an email with this is what has Chang what to stay the same so that everyone is aware aware a shortterm solution right longterm get it but even then there may not be a lot of participation in that right yeah I think I think you're right I think first I know I think there's hopefully some concerned parents watching because this was a function of feedback we got from the community as to why it's on tonight's agenda Darren I'm not sure if everyone understands what da is
071can you just quickly overview like what is that so people understands what that is and then I got a couple quick questions is is a is a alternative education placement it's where they are not in with the general public they're uh there may be two or three other students in there for for different offenses uh but they are separated from the the general population for that that number of days whether it be 60 days 45 days 30 days whatever the case may be uh and and basically if they're in in some in some type of special education service then uh they are still serviced uh those SP teachers will come out and and work with them to make sure they'll get their hours uh but their education is continuing it's just in a different type
072of setting and so uh they have no interaction with students at all come at a different time leave at a different time they come late uh come ear or leave early and uh they don't have any um any u i look interaction with uh with any of the students during the school day they're also not allowed to come on school grounds for like any type of uh athletic event or during that placement time as a spectator or an athlete right or participant or participant yeah they're they're pretty much articulated and and like I said if you if you go to the handbook it all a bunch of them like that I just posted a few but it is articulated even in chapter 37 the terroristic threat is a mandatory de discretionary expulsion so you it's
073the decision to expel a student for that is is a discretionary move but the decision to place in Dap is is not but the time in Dap is that articulated as well no so we have because we have to consider the that list of of things one of them being a very important would be like the manifestation deter termination so is this a manifestation of a disability um and then you know their ability to understand the wrongfulness of the decision um and those are you know so the length of the placement is more where we disc length is yeah that's what I was getting at the length is discretionary be mandatory not there's no length of time that's that's outlined in statute okay great um my last comment is I'm th% with EA I think
074an articulation on the back of everything that's going on clearly articulating the parents the seriousness of like we don't have a choice no matter how much you give to the booster club or how good your kid is or whatever how good grades they have if they do something that you know because I I get the handbook it's 54 pages long so um I know everyone I know some everyone signes that they read it they really read it right if they read it they may out internal ized the impact or remember or remembered it I think um one it would give some parents that are concerned a reassurance that we're taking this seriously because I know you all are yeah um okay but also remind those that may not be aware or may not be up
075to speed on all the stuff that's going on that pull your kid aside you know you stuff in that airsoft gun in your bag to go your friends have after school actually probably not a good idea not a good idea cuz you're going to get pulled aside mandatory right right well but yeah so this might be a point of contention but can we make it mandatory for exposion meaning can we up the penalty for this type of incident I don't know if I mean can we as a district mandate expulsion whatever it may be whatever the whatever it may be I wouldn't do it without talking to our policy service but ours it doesn't exclude it from happening I mean I mean anything so like there's anything's discretionary right so it would it would still
076be our discretion what's mandated is by Statute so um the it comes directly from chapter 37 like it's specifically listed in statute like what must be an expulsion um so the district would be choosing a to mandated discretionary expulsion so it would still be discretionary in terms of like the law but if you said if you said just to everybody's point it succinctly said that there's a zero tolerance policy on any threats they'll all be treated seriously the minimum for doing it is deap and up to and including expulsion what it says now and a mandatory uh referral to the local police that's what it says now I think what you're asking is do we put policy local policy that is stricter than legal policy to get um more black and white should a student
077make a threat instead of having a mandatory dap it's mandatory expulsion y i you can answer that in a second I'd like the voice of my opinion I that's my initial thought when I had to you know deal with the emails and hearing I I rather defer the administration to apply logic because what I found as a kid goes and excuse me I'm going to kick your ass is that a threat that deserves exposion like I think that line is hard to put in place versus allowing the administration to apply the full force of the legal policy to do what right I agree and I think in this instance what I'm talking about is more terroristic threats right yeah I'll kick your ass yes it may be seen as a terroristic threat yeah that's the
078thing is a terrorist or not I I agree I think it is something that admin should weigh in on and make the decision but for me I know we're living in this time unfortunately and I just think that we should be harder on this to make sure that we we minimize it as much as possible okay sir did you have a question or comment just just one comment or caution with that is I think if you make it mandatory it ties your hands and then there could also be public perception as you look at the things you have to consider so now the public perception may be that you're giving that you're giving favoritism to somebody when really you're just enforcing the law to say hey this kid there's something me there's something wrong with
079him or her from a from a medical standpoint I just I think it might tie your hands uh and and create that perception so I I agree have the discretion to just treat each case individually it's probably what I'll what I'll say is probably not I can certainly still find out I mean expulsions are governed by chapter 37 so my guess in terms of our ability to put any kind of legal spin local spin on that um I think probably not but I I mean that's a good question we certainly could lean on the administration to be a little more heavy-handed in the yeah uh the place thank you I was going to say sentencing again the placement instead of a day three days becomes the normal instead of three five whatever the nor that's
080a good point number of days right so these kids know okay I don't get a break I'm actually putting a really bad situation for a long period of time it's actually a very Val good point and I think we should taking direction if it is a egregious terroristic threat that we should utilize we can the terroristic threat under is one of the things in expulsion it says if you involve in terroristic threat you are expelled I have a question so in our last one of our discussions offline or whatever we talked about is there a committee on the campus that has to meet to write up there's a write up when something like that happens we do through assessment but then that is that we have to keep that for a long time right so
081you're 24 so that would be something if we communicate to parents that would be a key thing is it's like your kid can make a mistake that unknowingly is going to follow them until they're 24 so if they get in trouble if they do this in middle school and they get in trouble in high school this is going to be relevant information like well this kid did this four years ago or he could be in college and it follows them so I mean I just would say that and I don't I don't know what institutes when that has to happen but if we're going to communicate with parents I think that's a good message to go this is not something that just gets swept under they go to DAP for3 they done it's not on
082their record yeah well besides the behavioral threat assessment it is reported to the police and I mean Travis County generally speaking speaking has just has taken a fairly Stern stance on terroristic threat I mean they did a press conference earlier in the school year remember back in the fall some of the bigger schools they were having this issue other schools in the beginning of the year M times big schools came out together and and the da said that you know things like this will not be tolerated yeah so uh very good discussion just to make sure uh get an email out to parents talking about the consequences of making the threat what that looks like if the kid makes that talk about the behavioral uh threat assessment how that relates to to the threat is
083kind of what you guys are looking for am I correct on this communicated the buttons yeah behavioral threat yeah I would definitely on the side of scary yeah right I mean yeah I think we need as we are able to make it this isn't to make anybody who's parenting hard like but between the hours of X and Y they defer the parenting to you all and so I'd ask that you make your jobs Easier by letting us do it at home at night and on the weekends and explain to our kids a clear articulation of the ramifications of bad bad decisions and hopefully that brings the those decisions down as far as we know were you suggesting that that information should be more clearly communicated by students as well absolutely y okay so that it's
084this concise and clear message between the parent the student they understand the results and maybe even I see the signature of the code of conduct but something in there that they I mean I get it it just doesn't seem severe enough so should it ever happen you'll never be accused of didn't know right right exactly yes I'm sorry yes ma'am I'm going to um I if it's all right I want I want to relay a story with my grandson just so yall are aware okay um I mean and most of the time this is not what you guys are dealing with all right but my grandson had been to basketball practice and they were practicing free throw shooting all right and so in the very very next class he was talking to his classmate at
085basketball and saying I'm going to be the best free throw shooter in the school one of the other children hit picked up on shooter not free throw so he immediately the whole thing that y'all said went into play and he was terrified um and so didn't know what he did Etc and uh his uh mom I you know uh my son has passed away and so he didn't his dad was not there but um and they went ahead and alerted me uh to help them out but I just wanted you to know in that kind of a case uh potentially just let you know we are doing what we have to do to follow protocol that was very important the repercussions of him missing three days of school and no way to get his assignments
086or anything also occurred and so it was excused absence because he was talking about basketball so again that that is not the norm of what you are doing with and I don't want to what you doing is very important but just to know that that is there and potentially um look at there's something the process is to go ahead and and weed out what is serious and what is not yes I think that they just more to your point because that is a good point um they do do that kind of level of Investigation first to determine whether or not it was something along going down this pathway of so if that's our first line in our uh behavioral threat assessment is is this in any way something that might be credible because on occasion
087it is one of those situations or a kindergarten on the playground who doesn't quite understand what they're saying or you know like so there are those instances um and yes it they are children too so you know there are times when that's crazy things like that well I mean and you're describing what happens quite a bit in you know the the middle agents um you know where they don't necessarily know what they heard but they're going to tell 10 other people what they think they might have heard think they might then by the end of the day it's GI that is a very good point that was good okay um so we basically just explain what y um review and possible approval of investment policy okay so each year we have to review the Pol
088our investment policy that's just something that ta requires us to do uh you should have had that in your packet um I you know bus with Mr Stoner uh don't see us changing our investment uh strategies anytime soon Jason I'll let you speak to that if there's any anything else you want to add to that but we have no money to invest investment strategy other than making sure we stay above water keep what we have is becoming an issue and I'll talk about that in a little bit but uh rolling things into Investments where we don't have liquidity to go grab that immediately is becoming more of a growing concern for school districts across Texas and we do hold off on all payment till the last couple days just to try to keep as much
089money on in as possible so just to let you know that but we uh we'll need to have U have a motion to uh keep the investment policy as presented unless there's any changes that need to be made or want to be made need a motion I move we approve the investment policies present second motion uh richy seconded any addition I just have a question Darren are you still the chief in are you the invest I'm I'm Jason and myself we still do the training and all that get additional questions or comments all those in favor say I I I opposed motion carries 6 budget update okay Mr St is going to provide a a quick budget update and uh should have got that um believe your packet as well so Mr yeah uh Mr
090web and I have been tracking this for a couple months now just in terms of what was budgeted and what was what our performance looks like uh everything pretty much is is leaning toward us uh still Landing in a deficit but not the a deficit that we budgeted U projecting about $500,000 deficit at this point uh when we adopted a budget about 950,000 so we've outperformed our budget about 430,000 at this point now we're we're sort of uh kind of guessing a little bit on what the expenses are going to be in the last six months of the year usually in in June and July and August your expenses less recapture are a little bit uh mitigated because the kids aren't in the building but this is sort of just a rough estimate of what
091uh what we're projecting at this point some things to note uh our budgeted recapture budget would be captured about $8.4 million and based on uh our our water our weighted average daily attendance in our enrollment our recaptures come to about 8.2 so we got about $200,000 savings there uh Ada is hurting a little bit the month of February cost us about $65,000 with uh attendance dropping yeah I saw that on every campus report the attendance Dro a lot pretty heavy uh just as a point of reference our our 88 budget was 1748 that's when we built the budget our first nine weeks our our Ada was at 1753 so we were thinking that that was pretty good in the fourth nine weeks our Ada was 1678 so uh that that that hurt quite quite a
092bit but we hopefully we rally here in the next couple months to see if we can cut away on that recapture a little bit more usually it clears up after spring break we're in three days for Monday for and daylight savings Monday so you know yeah I was shocked the numbers when I was just looking at them uh payroll is looking like we're this could be a little bit misleading on the payroll side it looks like there's about $180,000 of budgeted money that doesn't look like it will be expensed on paper however with chars going away and the policies that that that are in place with our chars reimbursements uh faculty and staff that was 199 and then would be able to be reimbursed to the shs program is no longer there we've moved those
093folks to to idea B but our idea B allotment will be expensed in its entirety so toward the end of the year we're going to have to reclass some employees back to 199 so that 180 180,000 above the budget that really sort of earmarked for those I employees that that we won't have the federal funds to pay those those folks with so but it's it's tracking to be pretty solid uh at this point we spent 50.4% of our of our budget and went 50% through that through the year so we're looking to probably a deficit about $500,000 at this point with what we know uh to answer go back to answer EA's question a bit about should we be spending more or could we be spending more uh water V is unique and your late
094traviz and your e SI or your Alo height SI or your Highland Parks pretty homogeneous group of kids really for the most part it's not a whole lot of special populations that generate additional funding through their allotment so we we spend everything that we possibly can the the amount of personnel that we have is appropriate there's no fluff in that so when school districts like our neighbors are looking to reduce cost that's the first place that they go to is is what positions can we don't have those so our our issues have become evident strictly through inflationary costs over the last six years we can't keep up with inflation with the allotments that we're getting so pigy back on that a little bit the very bottom box is the allotments that the state says that
095they're providing us with special education the allotment that they say they're going to provide us is about 2.4 million we projected to spend about over 3ish million in special ed so that allotment doesn't cover you know $600,000 of what we spend on special ed and same goes for security uh they give us 77,000 but we're going to be spending about 357,000 and if they would just fund those two things you know appropriate this problem sort of goes away for us but but those two things are popular items in today's legislative sessions that we hope to see some some positive stuff from but the special education allotment bill that's been proposed is is not going to be enough so I know we hadn't had an increase in allotment I would assume is General allotment different than
096special education lot it's all in the same thing it's all in the same thing so that goes back to what 3 years years ago since had an increase is that correct 2019 2019 and that was only $50 when that happened yeah they're they're projecting it's going from one of the the laws is it goes from 6160 to 6380 but and that sounds great like that's that sounds like oh they got something but they're tying mandatory raises to to that which is great want to give teachers as much and staff as much as you possibly can but if you say this money is automatically ear marked for for salaries it doesn't help the inflation cost thank you for our well just something else I I talk to nor this morning and you know we're talking about
097Transportation cost I'll give you a figure 2122 our cost was $692,000 and some change we got reimbursed $123,000 in 23 24 our cost was 769 th000 and we got reimbursed 26,000 so for service that we aren't required to provide right we get $1 per mile for a regular school bus we get a $1.08 per sped mile then any type of CTE like if want our CNA uh students go into Cedar Park we keep up with that mileage and they give us $22.68 which they don't you know they don't go in every day but when you're only getting a dollar a mile and that had increase since B early 2012 so it's been 12 years do they give you that money or we're all giving the money and they're just saying you can keep this amount
098of it or is this totally different in a yeah we have out we report all the mileage of the different types of mileage sped and like gold star keeps up with all those and we fill out a report and then they they I guess send us the money back and you said AUST when we go out for Grant hunting are most of the things that we find grants for kind of for additional things that would normally be outside our budget I'm thinking about the the sped bus we got or or are there grants available for things that we would otherwise have to spend usually that's one of the big requirements for a grant is supplement not supplant okay so there's a so Esser was sort of the exception to that rule for a while is
099that you were allowed to supp so it was like sweet we can actually pay stuff you get what I'm getting at right like cuz I know you all are too busy like is there an opportunity to fund someone that's tasked with going after it sounds like the answer is no because it's supplement yeah so it doesn't help us with offsetting expense don't you get into an issue too A lot of them I can't remember when this came up with us um being chapter whatever 49 49 sorry chapter 49 District considered a wealthy District they don't need grant money because they have all this money even though we send so much back our student population is normally so normally they're looking for a threshold of 40% free reduced lunch or hire which we are not so
100a lot of things that you might be able to uh supplant but even those are generally supplemental services like you know counseling and and things like that we just we don't qualify yeah I can't remember when that came up but we were looking at something and Mr was illustrating some inflationary cost issues that that we had the number that he gave on Transportation went from 600 something to 700 something within a year just to kind of get another challenge our our property in casual insurance in 2019 2020 was $78,000 our Property and Casualty this current year is $540,000 we haven't seen an increase in in funding from 2019 so that extra $450,000 cominging from say is coming from the same formula we gave us that we were able to pay for 20192 so we're and
101next year and next year after the California fires next year we're going to see it's going to be brutal yeah Kevin you mentioned I think last meeting uh kind of extrapolating out cash flow know fun our our financial reports will continue to be pretty solid for the next few years because we do things I think right but it comes to a point where November when your tax collection hasn't come in you're still living on February of the prior year kind of extrapolated this out in November of 27 is sort of the Crux year for us in terms of cash flow and how how can we make payroll in November 27 Susie and I have talked about this internally about what shells can we play with pay this later but November 27 becomes a which means
102August of 27 we pay that recapture bill of things don't change being a bit of a f and that's when we have to start making hard decisions that correct before yeah be the year before that that's what happened last and some schools are are some of them are there now so Mr Sher um do you recall just off the top of your head roughly how much we have in fund balance from the for land and real estate not steeping from this land money allocated through 2022 is 4.5 million 4.5 and then last but not least do we Daren know rough like what our local state representatives land on the priority that education sits where where do they say that again like trucks like the the state that our we share our shared constituents that have
103like you know where they are on the prior because I'm assuming you well talked to their staff or have a couple of times and didn't go well but uh they're all about the voucher system yeah and you know and you know I I did ask uh one of the uh the groups you know what are your school districts say and they said well we have to look at the 220,000 constituents that we have that asking for school vouchers and I tell them I didn't believe it I didn't believe that and so they're they'll tell you they're for school public schools and they're doing everything they can do to give us the money but they're still voting for for school vouchers and and we know that's going to be the the the death of public schools
104at some point so so is this a a fair summary right like for anyone that pays their Travis County property taxes has lvic listed on it and follow over sideways when they see how big that number is know that we are sending over $8 million of that Collective funds back to Austin for those same representatives to then say that that money shouldn't be returned to education we collect about 25% yeah on behalf of the state that bill exactly $10,000 well 2500 is we collect on behalf of the state that we I know I've dug in beat this so we can move on in a second has one last question for you smart guy love your math on on the finances is there anything that you foresee that this board could be doing differently to put
105us in a better or more advantageous financial position man that's a difficult question there'll be a time where the board may have to make some difficult decisions on programs I think that's that's that's two years yeah so I I just don't like the dance around this for anybody that's caring to pay attention to the community we're foreshadowing if things don't change largely at the state funding level because that's where where it come from like we're tied like we can't produce money we can't have a bake sale every week out front um if things don't change programs will be cut period there's two other Alternatives as well uh in 2728 Lo v i has the ability to drop their low heat their low C option home that reduces people's property bill by 20% be popular not
106very popular at all and secondly there are nine com pennies that we can go out for elction for yeah but 70% of that gets recaptured get I I'm I'm I'm slow so it sounds like we can either raise taxes for our community or they can go push on our state representatives to get a fair share back to the district or Force this or reduce programs okay the only one seems pretty clear to me the best option for it it's worth noting that $1 billion dollar in the state budget equals approximately $100 on the basic allotment so when you see legislation for a $3 billion program for dementia research right that was just passed through the Senate $3 billion is $300 for for 5.5 million students across the state of Texas so it is just like
107$1 billion for the buyin ium which means $2 billion for the next bium for a an educational savings or vouchers program that's $200 on the basic allotment for 5.5 million students and we're talking about going from 61 to 63 and we're throwing so that we need at least $1,300 on the basic allotment to return school districts to 2019 spending because of Property and Casualty and transportation costs and and and there is a required threshold on any basic allotment increase that certain percentage I think it's currently 30 and projected to be 40% that has to go to compensation which certainly we want but um it's just good to know that $1 billion on the state budget is about $100 $100 on the basic allotment for every student Texas that $300 times our students would would just
108cover that $500,000 short say that one it would cover the $500,000 shortfall of our budget except it would be used for additional right we'll still be short with that with that increase on the basic allotment we'll still, short a smaller deficit but a deficit we'll also see another challenge most likely next year the homestead exemption most likely will go from1 to $140,000 uh that impacts our gold and penu ratio right we're not going to be we wouldn't collect it otherwise that money would be going back to the state uh but we do miss it on the golden ven that the voters said you guys can keep they they are taking $440,000 away from from that so on on each house uh so we're are we're losing money that that uh that we would that we've
109already said we can spend it uh and then on our side as well another challenge will be in front of us next year with that $140,000 thank you I have some phone numbers if anybody wants them okay um consent agenda need a motion to approve I moov we approve the consent agenda Rich made the motion I'll second Greg seconded all those in favor say I I opposed motion carries uh superintendent okay just uh two things I just want to let you know that we have completed our door audit for the 20425 school year our intermediate was checked um sometime middle of February and uh they didn't have any findings so now all four campuses uh have have passed those uh those um tests and and and um checkpoints and so uh excited for that uh
110kid teachers and kit do a good job trying to keep the doors locked and closed Adam's always working on make sure that they're they're closing properly and things like that so uh they typically do you know one audit per per campus and um and so we we'll complete with that also just want to let you know I need to inform you that Region 13 Board elections uh coming up but uh due to uh Tom Bowman and Dennis Hill running unopposed they will represent they will be part of the Region 13 board members for Place three be Tom Bowman and Dennis Hill be Place six they've been on the uh read the 13 board now for a number of years until they ran unopposed so you guys don't have to place uh place your ballots this
