001It is 6:15. The quorum of the board is present. The meeting has been duly called and that notice of the meeting has been posted in accordance with Texas meetings act 551. Please stand well. Heavenly Father, be with us tonight. Uh guide our decisions, guide our discussion, guide our thoughts. We just thank you and praise you for this district. Thank you for the staff and the students here in the community that make us up. God, you be with us tonight. We love you. Thank you. It's in Jesus name. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic which stands one nation under God indivisible for all the Texas flagis discussion. All right. So, we've got here to consider the approval of the Maze meeting projection projected communications budget.
002We have uh an agreement with them. uh you do not have the contract. I'm sorry if you have that as well. Contract basically states that for September $6,000 October $6,000 $3,000 that's a total services for that piece as far as the contract's concerned. Um then additional pieces are is this budget which you do have before you. You can see all the items that listed there. Of course, this would require a vote of the board to approve this and it would be coming out of essentially our fund balance at this point. And so you can see the dollar amount there for 39,8. So, one of the things um virtually [Music] strategies that they've employed in districts Texas getting the specification, but we wanted to give an amount of also give the board time to ask questions.
003You found successful and what else? >> Well, all successful over I mean several billion dollars. [Music] We are in a situation where is different bond typically have a bond committee and you have the construction company or others that support doing some sort of community that's outside the district. Wouldn't have anything like that and then they also support media side of it for the district. Wouldn't have anything like that. So it's really more on the district in order to get a good message out to the voters so that they understand all of the aspects of what this is. Now what they're doing is this is all information to the voters about what they do. for the district. >> We feel like it's important to this communication. The way the election has to read is kind of
004conflicts what's really going to happen. >> So there's going to be confusion of that. So we had to do a great job of communicating that to our community. Like you were saying that language is basically written in such a way because that's required by law. But it sounds if you just read that probably not educated I read that not educated I would say it's One thing I thought was really helpful when we talk about a lot of churches or community events is that he has a strategy of um they're creating a four to five minute video. And so when you go to those um events, you're not simply like just speaking from all the facts, you know. You're introducing yourself and this video covers really all of the things that you need to get out
005in one consistent message and then you're just answering. And so this is this is our budget. So, we're looking at this price here plus their $15,000 total $54,880. Is there anything on here after meeting with them that y'all were like, I don't know if we need to do that or there was a one there was one charge that was on there, the popup banners, they had us down for actually seven schools. They have it down for five banners is basically because they would like for those to be like football games, your basketball so that you have multic. >> So that was the only thing that I asked him to tweak. >> So like the the three schools and like gym high school gets more traction. >> Quite honestly, the middle school put it up there
006that entrance that could entrance of the high school. The other question that I had was having four mailers seems like a lot, but at the same point when you're battling language on the ballot, it's got to be multiple times to understand otherwise. One of them was written specifically for what you were talking about to try to address that understanding what this is actually. seem very confident we spoke with back in June. >> I had to come in I believe during the summer so I think it was in July >> and then I've actually met with another group and they did more general communications type things to this type of thing. His company seems to really on how to help or so having those specific skills. So with this we would still probably put together a
007pack. [Music] So dark. [Music] >> Okay. That's my understanding, [Music] right? Make a motion to approve the projected communication budget. [Music] Questions in favor? It's 6:29. We are now out of closed session. Uh, I make a motion to approve the issuance of a school district teaching permit for the high school culinary arts teacher in accordance with Texas Education Code 21.055 second. Any further discussion? All right. All in favor? None opposed. >> What's that motion to second? Any discussion about said adjournment? Good. Pass. We're >> out. >> Too late. >> Motion to get >> was first.
