005if I can get the clicker to work. It's not working. Okay, thank you. All right. So, what it is is that the team um meets recognizes exemplary students on their achievements in visual arts through the state of Texas. Over 200 elementary schools are able to participate within our region and it is held virtually. Um 20 students from C were able to compete. 18 of those um receiving exemplary exemplary ratings. Seven received perfect scores of those students. One artist achieved what's called top team, which is the top 10% of all competing schools. So our students who received exemplary scores included Maha Anani, Amaly Cororum, Dylan and Gurak, Darren Evans, Jazielle Perez, Lucas Mitchell, Marcela Nelan, Rayan Guerrero, Laney Nichols, Savannah Kelso, Eley Rios, Sebastian Rivero, Matthew Shupe, Leandre Salis, Samantha Wickman, Jasmine Wright, and Shepherd Wigel.
006Um, these are just some of the art projects from the team competition this year that are in the case at CE um, represented in our main hall. And I have to say we get a lot of other students that are very interested in their artwork, which I really think speaks um, when students stop and look at it, it speaks to, oh, I could do that as well, and they want to try that. And that all goes back to Miss Freys and the the love of art that she's really instilled in the kiddos at CE. All right. So, top team for the region was a fifth grader, Mr. Tatsilu Pereira. If you can join us up here, okay? And he received a perfect score and was recognized as one of the top 10% of all participants
007across the region. And here you can see his artwork that he created. He is the only fifth grader or I'm sorry, this is the fifth year in a row that C has received students who receive top team.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share about and honor the students who competed at the Junior Visual Arts Scholastic event this year. Okay. So, the junior visual arts scholastic event or junior vase seeks to recognize student creativity and achievement in the visual arts. Students are provided with
009the opportunity to talk to art members or members of the art community, sorry, about their work, receive feedback from people other than their teachers and their like classmates, and then also show off their skills amongst the best young artists in the state. This contest primarily focuses on student creativity, their artwork originality, and artistic merit. This year, Lake Dallas had 35 students compete at the event with a total of 40 entries. >> Sorry. This competition requires a lot of the students who compete. Beyond creating their artwork, students must also provide their planning sketches, their process notes. They fill out a student entry form and ensure multiple permissions and release forms are signed before competition day even comes. At the competition, students interview one- on-one with a judge, talking through their creative process and their ideas. The
010student artwork and interview are scored and combined for their final rating of one which is developing, two which is good, three is great, and four is superior. Just read it. Okay, so of our 40 entries, we could not be more proud to announce that all students who submitted works received a rating of four superior, which is this is a small representation of the students. You can see their names on the screen. Um, many of them are up here with us tonight. So, I'll read through them really quickly so they can be recognized.

So huge representation from Lake Dallas. After all the artworks at the events are scored, there is an additional round of judging called platinum scoring. In this portion of the event, student works are compared against one another and judges select artworks to represent the top 10% in each division. Students who are selected in this second round of judging receive a medal known as a platinum honor. Six students from Lake Dallas Middle School received an additional platinum honor for their work. So, we wanted to share with you the artworks of the students who received platinum honors. Uh, so we'll start

Um, good evening, President Stacy, Dr. Brown, and the board. Um, I just Oh, wrong way. So, um, my name is again Denise Kennedy. I'm the director of student initiatives here. And on April 21st, the NAM, the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation, announced the 2026 Best Communities for Music Education recipients. I'm proud to share that Lake Dallas ISD has been recognized with this national award for the first time. This honor places our district among leading districts across the country
035for our commitment to music education. Why this matters? This recognition highlights districts that prioritize music as part of a well-rounded education and ensure access for all students. It reflects the collective efforts of our students, our teachers, administrators, and community by building and sustaining strong music programs across the district. The selection process is comprehensive and datadriven. Districts are evaluated on factors like instructional time, participation, facilities, and overall support. As part of the application process, the district provided detailed information across multiple areas, including student access and participation, staffing and teacher qualifications, curriculum and gradu graduation requirements, assessment practices, and our facilities resources and budget. This ensures the recognition is is based on a comprehensive view of the program. More importantly or importantly, all applications were independently reviewed and verified by Wolf Brown, a national research for firm,
036ensuring the integrity of the award. In 2026, more than 10,000 schools and districts across the country received this recognition, representing a wide range of communities. This includes both firsttime recipients like Lake Dallas ISD and districts with sustained recognition, highlighting the nationwide commitment to music education. Music education plays a critical role in supporting student creativity, collaboration, and engagement. It also delivers measurable academic and student engagement benefits. Students involved in music often perform better in math and literacy while also showing higher attendance and stronger connection to school. Music programs build critical skills like teamwork, discipline, and perseverance and help prepare students for college and future careers. Just as importantly, they provide equitable access to meaningful learning experiences and support overall cognitive development. This recognition reinforces our district's commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for students and strengthening our
037overall educational experience. And with that being said, we are honored to receive this recognition and appreciate the continued support of the board, the staff, and the community in advancing opportunities for our students throughout music education.

N he's probably went to his car over there in the back 40. There he is. All right. All right. It is 7:37. We are back in open session. Next item is public comment. And I've been advised we have nobody that has signed up to speak. So, we'll move on to our information items. And looks like we got the 2026 2027 budget report. We're going to hear from Anne Han. Hi, An. How's it going? Good. Glad you could be here. Is your blue blue light on? >> Yes, sir. >> There we go. >> Good evening, Dr. Brown, President Stacy, Board
044of Trustees. Tonight, we're going to start um have our initial meeting for our 2627 budget year. So, just a look at our timeline. Um, again, tonight's our first initial look at it. We'll dive a little deeper at our next workshop on June 1st. Um, where we'll really look at revenue projections for the 26 27 year and also um compensation. And then we'll have another update to bring back for June 22nd board meeting. And then at our July 20th meeting, we will bring an update for the three funds that you are required to adopt. General fund, food service, and debt service funds. We will receive our certified tax values by July 25th, hopefully sooner, but should be no later than July 25th. And then on August 17th, we'll be able to come back with a final
045budget update. And then our last meeting for the fiscal year, August 31st, we'll have our public hearing to adopt the budget and adopt the tax rate. So, just kind of starting off with um some budget priorities for the 26 27 year. It's always a priority to have a balanced budget. Um meaning your planned expenditures do not exceed your projected revenues. That's not always the case, but that's always what we have in mind when we go into planning the budget. Sometimes limited funding doesn't allow that to happen, but we do always try to keep that a priority. We also are aiming to maintain the integrity of our fund balance. Um, we want to ensure that reserves are used responsibly, transparently, and for the appropriate purposes that they're intended for. We're also going to focus on the
046resources on the greatest needs. We had very intentional budget meetings this year with every campus and department and thoroughly took the time to listen to their needs for their campus and departments. Um even asked them to come to us with a wish list just so we could really have a better understanding going into this budget year of what each campus and department really needs. And then we also want to provide tools for a successful learning environment. This is to keep the focus on positive learning environment and ensure that staff has the tools in order to do that. We'll also be offering some new programs. We're really excited um for the 26 27 year with the introduction of the Discovery, I'm sorry, the Falcon Discovery Academy at the elementary schools. Um I think that's going to
047just bring great things for the district. And so we're really excited for that. And then there'll also be some updates to CTE courses that are offered at the secondary. And then lastly, um, a priority is just to have competitive compensation plan. Being in the DFW area, even though we're a smaller district, we do feel that it's very important to, um, have a competitive compensation plan for our staff. So, just kind of a general overview of where we ended um, the 2425 year with our fund balance. We were about 13.6 6 million in fund balance which as you can see it's a little drop from the 23 24 year but that was due to um some one-time expenditures that you guys did approve. TEA recommends 25% or 90 days to maintain in fund balance. Having a
048um a good amount in fund balance is important just due to a cash management. Our bills, payroll bills are constant, but our cash flow, we don't get in the same amount every month. Our tax revenue, basically, we receive the majority of that in December and January. So, just from a cash management um standpoint, it's good to maintain a healthy fund balance in order to pay payroll and our bills. And then also just for ongoing support for our educational programs within the school district. Um so again, our health our fund balance looks good. Um again there's a slight decrease from the 2324 to the 2425 due to those onetime expenditures. So we will be entering the second year um of the bianium for the 25 to27 and just kind of wanted to go over there were
049several changes from a funding standpoint um that legislative introduced but kind of wanted to touch on the big ones that impacted um our district. One of the mains ones being the um teacher and support staff retention aotment. The teacher retention aotment. Since we are a district with under 5,000 um students enrolled, we were able to provide um teachers with three and four years experience an additional $4,000 in compensation and teachers um five years and over with an additional $8,000 in compensation. And then the support staff aotment um provided us with $45 per ADA and that's for all the additional staff that supports um our kiddos. There was also an increase in the basic aotment. It had been $6,160 for several years and they increased it $55 to 6,215. School safety allotment. Um they made some
050changes there as well. It was $10 per ADA and they increased it to $20. And then the campus aotment was $15,000 per campus and they increased that to $33,540 per campus. Another change um came in the early education aotment. And the big change there was it provided um second day funding for eligible pre-K4 students because previously we were only funded for half day for the preK4 students that were eligible. um funding that is going to be new and they're really just coming out with the specifics on that. But um our special education aotment they're going to be changing that to an intensity of services which basically um and the 26 27 year will actually be a transition year but within ne in next year um the state has provided additional funding to go from a
051model um that was a model that's based on intensity of the service versus just the placement of the students. So again, we're still kind of going through how that's all going to shake out for us, but that will be a change um in funding for the 26 27 year. Just kind of a look at where we're at um in revenue for the current year. You'll see what we had adopted a total of 44.7 million projecting to be an increase of $637,417. And that equates to an additional $150,000 in local revenue, mainly from our facility rentals. Um, from what we budgeted, we've seen an increase in that. So, we'll be able to add some money. And then our state funding, which is our foundation payment, is going to come from just an increase in enrollment. We
052projected um we did our enrollment not factoring in preK since preK was new this year. And so our enrollment numbers are higher and our weighted average daily attendance is higher. And so that is going to lead to us getting more funding um state funding. On the federal side, um I've talked to you guys before about our SHs and just how they've lowered ratio for reimbursement and so we're anticipating less funding from the SHs than we had budgeted. So decrease that um $160,000. Just kind of a look at enrollment over the years. Um you can see from the 22 23 year we decreased the following two years. And then this year with the introduction of prek we had a big jump um from 3,717 to 3,926 students enrolled um which is an increase of 209 students
053and that was at a snapshot date of May 5th. So that's been really exciting for us. So we are hoping to maintain that. But for now, just because we're still obviously enrolling kids um for that projected number for the 26 27 year, I did keep prek and kinder numbers flat, meaning just carried over where we were at at this point in time. So that put us at 3,883, but we do anticipate that to um increase hopefully meeting where we are now or even going above where we're currently at. Looking at 2627 projections, just some things to keep in mind. Um, as I just mentioned, revenue, we hope to see an increase in our WADA, our weighted average daily attendance, and also to maintain enrollment just to help keep that um, keep those numbers up there.
054Historically, we've had an increase in property values on average about 6%. So, hopefully we'll see an increase in property values when those certified values come out. And then we're also excited to be offering um additional day school year for the 26 27 year. And basically that's going to provide formula funding for the additional instructional days for prek through 8. It'll be at a minimum of half day funding up to three4 day funding and that will include summer school in summer of 2027. So, it's something we're already doing, but by switching to that additional days school year model, we will receive a fun receive funding for that. On the expend expenditure side, um obviously inflation just throughout the year, we've seen an increased cost in fuel, maintenance, and transportation supplies. So, we'll be anticipating that moving
055into the 26 27 year. And so, we'll be budgeting for that. Um property insurance typically increases to some degree. So there will probably be a slight increase in that and then just the overall continued increase in utilities in general um that we'll need to account for. Continuing what to expect in June. Um again we'll come to you with a more detailed general revenue look. Keep in mind that new revenue is tied to growth. And then we'll also have campus department campus budgets, department budgets, and then bring to you um a compensation plan for the 26 27 year. >> Any questions? >> Thanks, Adam. Any questions or comments from the board? >> Nope. We appreciate the update. It's always good to hear it. Thank you. All right. Our next item is a consent agenda. The consent
056agenda items are those items identified as routine, procedural,formational, or self-explanatory as presented in a single motion to be acted on at one time. Is there any question or comment regarding the consent agenda? If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> Motion to approve by Mr. Applebee. Do I have a second? >> Second by Mr. Tucker. Is there any further discussion? If not, all those in favor of approval, please indicate. And that passes unanimous. Thank you. move. Excuse me. Move on to our action items. The first of which is consider and take action to adopt an order authorizing the is insu in excuse me issuance thank you of uh Lake Dallas Independent School District unlimited tax refunding bonds in one or more series and for the purpose of achieving debt service savings. Dr. Brown, >> thank you
057sir. Um you have a very lengthy attachment um and the short version is by you all approving this you're authorizing me on your behalf to um work with the financial advisor and the bond council to refund our bonds which ultimately at the end of the refunding will save taxpayers dollars >> and we've had good good success with that over past years. Right. every year for the last several many years we've done this and several several and many yes and this is I mean it results in millions of dollars saved to taxpayers by refunding >> very good is there any questions or comments for Dr. Brown on this if not I'll entertain a motion >> motion to approve by Mr. Applebee. Do I have a second? >> The blue light wouldn't work. >> I'll second. >>
058He didn't even turn his own. >> Yeah, >> but he have a second by Mr. Bar. Is there any further discussion? >> If no, all those in favor of approval, please indicate. And that passes unanimous. All right, move on to our next item, which consideration approval of a request for purchase of Unified Comm Unified Communication Services Telephone Systems. We're going to hear from John Modica. Surprise, surprise. >> Good evening. Good evening, Dr. Brown, board. >> Uh, so yes, this June, our service agreement that we have for phones, f phone service, um, landlines for our fax machines and even our PA systems will be up for renewal. So, Mr. Hamilton and his team has worked over the past few months to put together a request for services proposal that went out. Um and that's what we're
059bringing tonight is the results of that and the consideration to move forward a for renewal of services for our our phone systems. Um in this bid we actually asked for onprim which is a hosted network um that we currently have in place. So think of you pick up the phone and it dials out. There is also no surprise as we upgrade technology systems you've seen a lot more systems moving off cloud or off- prim in this case and that's what we also asked for this bid is an off-print solution as well. The contractors could have provided both quotes or one or the other. Um but we are off-prim is um it's much easier to manage and it makes us less vulnerable as far as cyber security attacks. So it's any chance we get a chance
060to go off prim in the cloud I should say we're we're looking to do that. So the length of the service agreement will be a fiveyear uh it will renew every year that we can uh it'll automatically new unless either party wants to move on but it's a fiveyear that will renew every one year. same evaluation criteria that we use on our past bids. Price being a the largest weight, but the qualifications of the services they provide, their reputation and references, and then of course the extent that those services meet the needs of the district. We actually had 10 vendors uh respond to this bid or this RFP. So, you can see their scores here. We went and evaluated each of those. We formed a committee here in in house and had a rubric formed
061and evaluated each of these contractors. It's a score of zero to 100 based on those evaluation criteria that I just showed you. And our consideration tonight is to move forward with Delkcom group which the they have an off-prim solution or cloud hosted solution that we would consider best to fulfill our needs as a district. Um and I'm happy to take any questions that you may have on this. >> Thanks sir. Is there any questions or comments from the board? >> Nope. All right. Mr. Applebee doesn't have any questions. I bet the rest of us don't. All right. Since there's no questions, I'll entertain a motion. >> I move to approve. >> Motion to approve by Mr. Bear. Do I have a second? >> Who was that? Mr. Bartley. All right. Uh, any further discussion? If
062not, all those in favor of approval, please indicate. And that passes unanimous. Thank you. All right. We'll move on to our next item which is an understanding or consideration approval of me memorandum of understanding between Lake Dallas Independent School District, Lake Dallas Police Department and Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. We're hear from Chief Springer. Morning. >> Good morning. >> Uh President Stacy, Dr. Brown, members of the board. Um very excited to bring this to you tonight and I've phoned a friend uh to come up and help. And the reason why I did because I want to give recognition where it's due. Uh the first time I met Chief Rob, we were at the chamber lunchon and probably the second thing we talked about is he wanted to bring this program called Handle with Care uh
063to the Lake Dallas Lake Dallas ISD community. Uh he when he came from Richardson PD, he was uh working with this organization on on starting it there. Um and so he believed in it. uh he understood how important it would be for our students. And so that was like step number one when he got to the to Lake Dallas was let's work together to uh bring this to you. So wanted to make sure that he had an opportunity to speak to y'all from the Lake Dallas PD side. Uh but we'll go through and explain a little bit what uh what it is. So uh the purpose of this presentation is going to introduce uh the handle with care program. Um, it has nothing to do with handling people. It's not a control tactics. It's not
064any of those things. There was a program called that in the past. That's not what this is. Uh, this is all about the well-being of our students uh, mental health. Um, talk about the outline the collaboration between Lake Dallas PD, the future expansion uh, possibilities with Hickory Creek PD and Corinth PD. And then at the end, we'll be seeking your uh, approval on this memorandum of understanding. So, handle with care is a national initiative. Uh, it links law enforcement with schools. It alerts schools whenever a child experiences a trauma uh out. Usually, it's going to be outside of school. Uh there's no details that are shared. It's uh simply letting the district know that the kid was involved in a traumatic event and for them to be able to just, you know, handle with care.
065Uh, and it supports students well-being. um in their learning. So why does it matter? We know trauma affects uh students behavior. We know it affects their attendance. It affects their academics. Anytime children are exposed to adverse childhood experiences, uh it can rewire their brain and that leads to disciplinary issues, it leads to academic issues and it leads to attendance issues. Um and so having this program put in place uh will allow us to have that one step to be able to support our kids. If we can get early support, we feel like it would improve the outcomes of our of our students uh overall uh well-being. And it strengthens students uh school safety and student success by hopefully reducing some uh behavioral issues that we see in the classrooms that you know may be linked
066to something that they've experienced outside of the school building. So, the current partnership obviously uh with Lake Dallas PD um and I'll let him come up here and talk a little bit how that's going to happen with them, but there'll be an immediate notification following a qualifying event. That qualifying event will be uh established by Lake Dallas PD on what their officers will will notify and then our staff will be focused on their student uh uh center support. Your turn. >> Okay, my turn. Hey, good evening, Dr. Brown and board. Appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight talking to you about this program. U Chief Springer has been a a great resource for me and the partnership that we formed has uh been tremendous and I'm looking forward to to working together in the future.
067Uh so basically what happens with this program is we like Dallas Police Department will respond to a call that's going to involve a student in uh your district and if that incident is a trauma incident which can be anything from you know the the child has a parent who's arrested domestic violence any any of those things then what we do is we simply make a notification. We we give the district four pieces of actually not even the district. We we put in four pieces of information. Uh the school district, the name of the school, the child's name, and then the age of the child. And that will send a notification to uh the district and they will get that alert so that they'll have that uh in in the system. And really what they'll do
068is they'll just monitor that child and if they see any indication of behavior, something that's out of the norm, then the school will be able to react and take the necessary actions to make sure that the kid receives the support, the child receives the support, support that they need. Um, and that's really that's it. You don't know why we're there. You don't know why they got referred. Nothing. You just simply know that something happened. that came in contact with the Lake Dallas Police Department and were saying, "Hey, be mindful of of this child's needs." Which >> uh yeah, and again, we we talked a little bit about what this is. uh the Meadows Institute who we're partnering with or who you would be partnering with um you know they will do training for your team
069and so they know that they're not supposed to go to the child and say hey what happened we we know that the police came to your house they know they're not supposed to do that right it's strictly watching and then offering when services are necessary and again you can see focuses on safety stability and support >> this I'll go through. >> Yeah, I'll go through the process flowchart. This is kind of just gives you an idea of of how the process works. So, the child is exposed to traumatic event, police departments responding, they send out the uh handle with care uh notification. Uh it'll we as a school district get to determine who receives this notification and they simply are going to monitor if they start seeing the child is having some uh behavioral issues
070or are struggling with something or suicidal uh ideations or something of that nature then we can go into uh what they would already be doing. We're already partnered with TAT. This organization is partnered with TAT as well. So, the same steps that we've already been put into play are just going to be uh exemplified, I guess, because we're going to be able to uh help more uh when the need arises. Uh so, there's three different tiers. Um you know, if you get down to tier three, you have intensive uh intervention. uh these are going to be coming from outside resources, but we're going to be at that one step uh step one to be able to uh make sure that these kids get introduced to this uh the care that they need uh if it
071comes to it. So benefits to the students uh reduce hopefully reduce disciplinary issues uh improve attendance um which obviously helps the district as well. Not only do we get to the kids are there for that uh academic piece uh but it helps with our attendance um with the state as well. Increased emotional support and stronger connection with the schools. The kids feel seen. Uh they feel that their uh people are there for them and so they're going to have that stronger connection with our with our school. Uh benefits to the district proactive approach to student needs. uh taking that extra step, strengthen the safety initiatives. If we can reduce our uh any type of behavioral issues or something like that, it's going to make this school a safer environment. It it definitely enhances our partnerships
072with uh local law enforcement. Um they're they're aware of what our kids are are going through outside of school. Uh they're working with us very closely and it aligns with the trauma-informed practices. every teacher has to go through trauma-informed care uh uh training. Um this organization is going to come in and give it to the district and all of our staff members for free. All of our counselors will go through trauma-informed uh care training over a two-day period. And then our staff, all of our staff members get to have that trauma-informed care as well or training. So they understand what they're looking for. Uh so they know when it's time to make that referral and when it's not. uh future expansions. Uh we've we've already had conversations with Hickory Creek PD and Corinth PD. Uh
073they've shown some interest in it. So, we're wanting to get thisou u uh through y'all to y'all to uh Lake Dallas and then they can join on to the agreement at a later time. uh creates a regional approach the entire lake cities uh community looking out for our students and uh gives consistent support across all of our uh jurisdictions. So inside theou it defines the roles and responsibility it ensures confidentiality which we'll talk about here in just a few minutes uh the normal notification processes and then of course obviously the partnership. So, this is the one this is a big thing because I know it can be scary. Well, now the cops are, you know, telling the school when there's an issue at the people's at people's houses and stuff. Uh, this is completely FERPA
074compliant. It's there's no details information about what happened with that student. It's just that they were they were exposed to a traumatic event. Uh, and just to be be aware of it. So, there's no confident confidentiality issues. uh implementation plan. So, uh the Meadows Institute will come in, they'll do all of our training. Uh this will be implemented before the next school year. Uh Dr. O Sullivan has already been speaking with our counselors about this and uh and who will kind of take lead uh from the counseling side of things. Um communication procedures will be established on who will actually get the notifications. Will it be police officers just communication or counselors, administrators, things of that nature? And how will the referral process be be run through? And then uh a constant uh ongoing evaluation
075to make sure that the program is working best for our students. So with that, I will entertain any questions. >> Have any questions from the board? more of a comment at my department talking to a couple of co-workers at schools. This is they see the positive side of it coming in and everything else to where they've again monitor and have jumped in on the early side before the child went down a bad hill. Um, >> and the other part too is like mentioned not knowing all the deals. Some of the kids, they already know what their home life's like. So, not really surprised or you know, they already know some of the kids being exposed to the trauma. I feel like when the I feel like with the the district already being notified, let's say
076if a a student commits a crime and we we get that, but not having information that could be valuable when a uh a student is a victim or has been exposed to trauma, I think that's that's to me it's a it's just as valuable information. But I am curious is is what is what is the the notification procedure generally look like knowing that you know furpa and you know personal identifiable information could go across communication lines. What does that generally look like? >> So it's a secure uh communication network. So it'll it'll just go it'll give their as you said their name, their age, what school they go to, and that's pretty much it. >> So it's not it's not an email that goes to the district. Actually, region 11 is the one that that
077sets our account up. Um, the director of safety and security actually is one of the coordinators of this. And so, they'll set up the the communication network and all of our accounts. And so, it's it's it doesn't just go through email. It's through a secure environment. >> Okay. >> So, knowing that that's secure and that this is this is just a heads up correct >> type program. I like that. >> Any other questions or comments? Mr. Mayor, >> I've got a question. Uh, if if a kid triggers, whatever that might be, I assume they move it to the counselor's office and does the counselor then have the authority to approach the kid about that subject that we've kept quiet up until this point? So they're going to be trained on how to how to respond
078to it based on the best practices and and counseling. um which most of the times they're doing that now uh when they get a student referred to them uh they have the list of resources uh whether it's TAP whether it's an outside resource or whatever and they're going to work with not just the student but work with the parents on giving those parents the resources and things of that nature you know maybe in the midst of a conversation with that student this topic this idea I mean the uh the incident that led to this traumatic event could come up, but they're not going to they wouldn't say, "Hey, you know, we were we were told that you were exposed." I think it's just of a conversation piece. >> So, first off, I um I think
079this sounds like a great plan. So, I I appreciate the work that you and Chief Rob have uh put into this. Um I alongside some of these other questions you mentioned in the implementation plan that some of this hasn't been hashed out so there may not be a clear answer but um what are districts typically doing as far as once the notification's in our hands the visibility to the notification itself right is it only counseling services does it eventually reach a teacher of that child oftent times I mean it sounds like maybe different districts and departments do it differently. Um but and it's okay if you you don't have that hashed out yet. >> No. And we we do not uh we're still I know the counselors will get will get the notifications. Uh still
080in discussion is who else and at what point, >> right? >> Um you know cuz your assistant principles see these kids all the time. Uh your campus police officers see these kids all the time. uh them having a knowledge that there was some type of an event uh could be very beneficial. There's a lot of times when uh the municipal police departments if they invol if they respond to a a call that has a a child is involved in something like that where they're they're exposed to some kind of traumatic event. It's not out of the ordinary for them to call us already and say, "Hey, we just want to give you a heads up uh that this took place." So if this child seems to be struggling, there may be this may be why.
081Uh and it just kind of gives us that that knowledge that that kid may have experienced something. Um and you know, it kind of gives you the it gives you the the ability to kind of take a breath if you know if they're if they're having a becoming a behavioral issue to kind of take a step back and understand where it is they're coming from. And so then we we know kind of where to take it from there to give them the assistance they need. >> Right. Thank you. >> So I'm guessing that the PD you guys will get that notification too or at least you >> probably. So yes. Okay. Yeah. Chances are >> that's valuable information for us to be able to assist. >> Sure. I think that's it's common practice a lot.
082>> But it's not going to be like a a general message out to the whole Lake Dallas High School that this is what happened. It's it's going to be kept >> small. >> Obviously, the way police departments share information, there's lots of different ways to do it, but >> it still gets there. >> And the Meadow Institute when they were presenting this, they they said diffs do it different ways. Some districts, you know, they expand the communication more, some restrict it more. It really comes down to what the district decides. And uh Dr. Sullivan and myself and uh some of the counselors have been on some of the calls. So, they've got a very good understanding of it and so we'll continue to work together on the on the implementation part of it. >> Good.
083All right. I'm glad we can lean on Chief Rob for this, too. Right. >> Me, too. >> All right. Is any other questions? >> I don't have any questions. I just want to make a note that I don't have any questions. >> Okay. >> That all of y'all had questions. >> She She was >> But I do want to say it sounds like a great program. Thank you. >> Okay. Her words are limited. So, >> all right. Being as there are no more questions or comments, do I have a motion on this item? >> I move to approve memorandum understanding between the Lake Dallas ISD, Lake Dallas Police Department, and the Meadows Mental Health Institute to initiate the handle with care program as presented. >> Have a motion to approve by Mr. Smith. Do I
084have a second? >> A second by Miss Collier. Any further discussion? If not, all those in favor of approval, please indicate. And that passes unanimous. Thanks, Chief and Chief. >> Chiefs. All right. Our next item is consideration approval of option and ground lease agreement with Diamond Communications. And surprise, surprise, Mr. Monica, how you doing? >> I'm good. How are you doing, President Stacey? One more, at least for me. So, about a year ago, we brought you an opportunity. Um it was called connect ed. It's actually a partnership between Diamond Communications and TASBY. Uh truly what their goal is behind this organization is uh increasing connectivity on campuses specifically ISDs um just by improving their wireless wireless connections. Um they do this in two ways. Well really one way uh including or increasing your cellular bandwidth.
085Um, so they do that by building cell phone towers or if you remember back a year ago, uh, they'll use existing infrastructure. So we're excited to bring you an opportunity because Diamond Communications rebashed out to say that hey there is a interest in your area and so they are asking us to uh come together and do a real agreement to lease out a ground lease a portion of land to them and have a possible tenant so we could actually bring in some revenue to help out that budget. So I know the next question will be what does that look like? Um so if it's if this tower goes up and uh in this case they are projecting a tower not a we don't have an existing infrastructure to put it on. Uh we could potentially
086receive 30% of that revenue that they lease out and these are carriers like Verizon um AT&T T-Mobile. For the first two we get 30% of that revenue each month. If they get up to three or more we would get up to 40%. These are just projected numbers on average. They've done this across the state. This is typically what the ISDs can see in revenue each month. So roughly about 9,000 a year. Um then it increases obviously as you add more tenants to the tower. Where they are proposing to put this is behind our middle school. Um directly behind the bus barn actually uh just to the south of that storage set over there by the uh middle school track. Do I have any questions on this? But this is dealing with this uh agreement we
087put in place is we would be leasing this 50 by 50 square to this company for 10 years is the agreement. Um and then of course we can extend that uh I should say the the cost of the tower is at the lease not us. So Diamond Communications comes in and they actually build the tower. They put in perimeter fencing around it. >> All right. It's right there by the Greg Bartley Memorial Fieldhouse location. >> I was just saying I was going to say the old fieldhouse, but I didn't know. I didn't want to strike up any emotions. >> Former location of that. Nice. That's good. Any any questions or comments on this item? No, no, no, no. All right. If there's no questions or comments, I'll entertain a motion. >> I move to approve

He was thinking about it. >> All right. If there's no there's no further discussion, all those in favor of approval, please indicate. And that passes unanimous. We're not going to put your name on it though, Greg. >> But we will talk about it. All right.

All right, that concludes our action items. Move on to our uh calendar announcements and information, our upcoming meetings and events. Dr. Brown, >> thank you, sir. You have a page and a half of great opportunities. um the highlight of our year, all of the upcoming ceremonies where our kids move up grade levels and we graduate our high school seniors.
