011have taught almost every level of math class from AP Calculus to regular geometry I speaking tonight purely as a voice for our students past present and future who deserve a class ranking system that is fair and Equitable I have been researching GPA and class ranking for many years in the past few years I have noticed a trend across Texas in school districts making major changes many have recognized the systemic inequities in their rankings and have adjusted accordingly in my research I had a very very difficult time locating a district that counts almost every single course towards class ranking GPA like ours does college admissions continue to get more competitive for example did you know that the University of Texas at Austin will only be Auto admitting the top 5% of graduating classes next year that's
012right 15 years ago when I was in high school the top 60 students at drhs were Auto admitted starting next year only the top 25 drhs students and the top five ecchs students will be Auto admitted to UT we need to think critically about what that difference between number 25 and number 26 will look like our very top graduates would be the first to admit the lengths they have had to go through to maintain their ranking to them excelling in the classroom was never going to be enough they had to load their schedules with GPA boosters giving up on CTE Pathways and extracurriculars that they were passionate about they will also admit the toll on their mental health GPA chasing has costed restricting class rank GPA to only use core area classes would give our
013students greater freedom in pursuing their interests while making a stronger college application believe it or not most competitive universities do not consider high school GPA in admissions many universities in Texas say they value students who have taken a rigorous academic path and completed challenging courses on the AP level Stanford encourages applicants to achieve at a high level across the core area subjects and Harvard states that there is no single academic path we expect all students to follow but the strongest applicants take the most rigorous Secondary School curricula available to them as we move forward we want a system to encourage students to for Forge their own path if a student is interested in culinary arts let them pursue the culinary pathway if a student wants to go into business then they absolutely should pursue the
014business pathway if they want to excel in band in Orchestra in Bells encourage them to continue taking those courses and all of these students would still have the opportunity to be ranked at the top of the class why because they would not be concerned about those courses bringing down their GPA it is impossible to compare Health Sciences to find Arts computer science to the trades the core areas provide a Level Playing Field if a student comes to their counselor their teacher their principal and asks how can I improve my GPA guess what we would be able to tell them get good grades no more of take this class or change to this pathway prove it in the classroom the proposed class ranking changes may not be perfect but we cannot let Perfection be the enemy
015of progress there are still many issues to be addressed and I have every confidence the district will do what is right issues such as a lack of dro deadlines or no published academic guide for parents explaining courses and their respective GPA weights or students being unaware of the effects of Middle School courses on high school GPA or the fact we have students currently earning college credit through the University of Texas and not getting the GPA boost they deserve I have witnessed High academic achieving students fall in rankings because they did not have The Insider knowledge on boosting their GPA it's definitely not fair and it is absolutely not right and we as Educators need to do what is right we should ask ourselves what does class rank intend to measure if we truly want to
016reflect academic Excellence we must ensure it rewards students who take on the most challenging cours work in core academic areas if you have any questions you can find me at drhs room 804 or at the robotics lab thank you thank [Applause] you okay next item on our agenda is a public hearing item six um a and the public hearing is the 2023 2024 Texas Academic performance report also known as taper arel will present the taper [Music] report good evening board president mea Dr Rios members of the board uh tonight I will be presenting our taper report in this public hearing um section or Texas Education Code section 39.3 306 requires us to hold a public hearing to discuss the taper report the Texas Academic performance report um once we uh present this tonight um within
017two weeks following tonight's meeting we will post um this report at our district website all campuses um in our district and then of course here at our central office now um a couple of things that we need to include here in our district report um and you can see here on our uh PowerPoint this evening um we have the glossery um and you will find that at section c of your binder section F will be the bulk of our report tonight so that will include the district accrediation status it'll include our tap report for the district also special education determination status progress towards meeting our board adopted uh House Bill three goals our pe's financial standard report and then our campus performance objectives will be um discussed this evening now you'll see that most of
018the reports will be in section F however sections G through T do include each campus's uh reports those uh specific reports will be their campus taper their accountability summary campus comparison groups Financial actual report and their student I'm sorry their school report card the other sections that we'll be discussing tonight will be section W and that will be a report on violent or criminal incidents and then section Z student performance and postsecondary institutions so the district report is our final report for our school district and so tonight we'll discuss 22 I'm sorry 2023 24 school year performance um again this is not anything new it's it's our final report for the year for 2324 and of course when we do publish it out to the public it it needs to be in the same format
019as the way uh tea has uh provided the same format and you can find the taper report at uh Tea's website um that is a public um report and then again like I mentioned within two weeks we will make sure it's published um on our disc distri website okay the the taper report does not have any a through F ratings or any distinction designations okay section c does include um the glery so section c um has terminology that that is included in the taper report so definitions um method methodologies sources and there's also a Spanish version available section F will include um the district accreditation status now tea usually assigns four accreditation statuses which is either accredited accredited warned accredited probation or not accredited revok now um they take several things into consideration when they
020give that accreditation status such as academic accountability ratings Financial accountability ratings data integrity and program area deficiencies identified through RDA now again for this school year um 2425 as well as last school year 23 24 um there has not been an issuance of a through f ratings um those are pending and um so as of right now we base it off the 23 20223 accreditation status and we were accredited at that time okay now we move on to the taper report and I do have a copy of our taper report if there's uh any questions in regards to um any of the sections there are 11 sections in the taper report rep I have included our goals that we've been monitoring um throughout the years um again the taper report does have 11 sections to
021it there's a star performance and you'll see um the performance um for 23 and then 24 as a comparison you'll also see that there there will be State data region 15 data and then our district data along with all the Sub sub poops special ed current special ed formal continuously enrolled economic economically disadvantaged sorry and then of course our EB um current and monitored so third through 5ifth is bilingual 6th through 12 is our ESL program okay um so there's star performance in Pages 3 through 11 we do have star progress Pages 12 through 13 we have our bilingual Star Performance 14 through 15 we have star participation rates attendance graduation and Dropout rates Pages 19 19 through 21 um ccmr information ccmr related indicators postsecondary indicators student info and staff info in this taper
022report um again I I'm only going to include a taper reading our um we went over um our goals and this is where we're at right now in increase our goal was to increase um from 31 to 62 by August 2025 so for grade 3 our Target is a 62 by 25 and um for our taper report this year the 24 it was uh 41% the next slide shows third grade math um again our our strategic goal that we set was an increase um from 32 to 61 by August 25 and you'll see our Target is a 61 and our our actual is a 32% again this is at the meets level so there's three right there's approaches there's actually four did not approach approaches meets and Masters so this is uh calculated at the
023meets level ccmr our goal is to move from 74 to 92 by August 2025 our Target is a 92 and our 2024 performance was an uh 82.9 our graduation rate you'll see a comparison um for district region and state there's a four-year uh longitudinal rate um for the class of 23 a fiveyear for a class of 2022 and the six year for class of 2021 the district was at a 91.9 for class of 23 and you'll see the comparison to region and state 2022 class of 2022 was at a 93.2 and class of 2021 was at a 91.5 we also um need to include our special education determination status which will you you will find on the uh cover page of the taper report and so this year we we met requirements um which was
024an improvement from last year um again it's on the cover page of the taper report section F will also include the progress of the district and each campus towards meeting their house bill three goals um that that's in early early literacy as well as math um those were the ones that we just reviewed here in uh a bit ago uh career college career and Military Readiness also um those were the goals you'll you'll find them in section F those are the goals that we reviewed just a bit [Music] ago section F will also include our Pam's Financial standard reports again um you'll see the district under Section F but each campus will have their own um in sections G through T yes sir I'm sorry ma'am can you go back to the graduation rate please
025yes sir okay was there a question or yes the fouryear longitudinal graduation rate for the district is 91.9 that's what you have up there okay uh accept that let me just double check something here you might just be clarifying my mistake you give me a second so for the district on page 19 yes but I want to compare that [Music] to it's just a there's a couple figures um and I just noticed it right now apologize for the delay but on page um one second here page okay on page 21 yes yes sir page 21 of 21 of [Music] 33 are you there I am okay um what is what is that percentage referring to because it's it's the heading says attendance graduation and dropout rate so it talks about the class of 2023 um
026and it's the district so I'm [Music] assuming it has a 94% so I believe these are the different um the different graduation um diploma types but I'd have to get an answer for you Dr r okay it's just U one it shows an improvement from 90.3% to 94.7% and it's uh it's 10 points above the state and it's well above the region as well so they're very favorable marks I just but it's just confusing because of different headings okay I'm sorry I I just I just notice that now okay I can definitely double check that Dr R sorry okay okay um section F will also include the pe's financial standard reports again you'll find our district report in section f um each of the campuses will have their um actual campus report um expenditures by
027a object by function and program expenditures of course our district had a financial rating of an a our campus performance objectives are tracked by our campus Improvement plans section 11.23 requires each campus to have a campus Improvement plan and uh those campus Improvement plans must include performance objectives Based on data analysis and a campus needs assessment um that's done yearly and then throughout the year they measure progress on those performance objectives um ensuring that they go into the campus Improvement plan to check progress throughout the year those uh cips are posted um on our district website under Federal programs um for our public to view section w also includes um the report on violent and criminal incidents um the annual report must include um the following which is the number rate and type of violent
028or criminal incidents that occurred on each Campus of course protected under fura descriptions of school violence prevention and violence intervention policies which you'll find under Section I believe it's y section Y no I'm sorry section X and of course uh findings from evaluations of any conducted under the safe and drug-free schools and communities act the district's report um again is is available at each campus and the District central office and section Z has student performance in postsecondary institutions uh section 5143 requires postsecondary institutions to report student performance um during their first enrollment After High School graduation um of course this needs to be included in our annual report our annual taper report um these data are sent to us by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and uh the most current information is for students
029that graduated 2223 um these are calculated by GPA earned while they're uh attending a a public fouryear school or 2-year institutions of higher education for the fiscal year 2024 so again um anyone that earned those credit hours fall 23 spring 24 summer 24 as well again availability of the report will be um we will post that report um two weeks to our district website paper copies will be available at uh central office and of course uh the taper report will be available at every campus and that is it that's all I have for tonight any questions I'll turn it over to board members wanted to make a couple of comments um it seems like thir grade math reading it's kind of average you get to fifth grade they did quite well you get to seventh
030grade eighth grade it really I mean it's low but then you look at the even third grade fourth grade fifth grade sixth grade bilingual ESL compared to the region they're low so that that's an area that and and then I make the correlation with attendance I know we're going to discuss attendance later on but there's a big correlation with attendance and the scores as well um notably Garfield um has the attendance is is low there compared to the other count campuses and then I look at the uh campus science science is low if I remember 54% and um science has been an area that I've been wanting to address you know having a science background whatever resources are needed in the classroom uh to make sure that these scores go up whether it's equipment whether
031it's unit study um 54 is is low um again seventh and eighth grade I don't know why something really needs to be revamped there they they do in the end of course uh exams they do quite well um sat act I mean they're right on there right on target graduation rate with Blended Academy although Blended Academy again their attendance is going down but um it does help out with late graduation but they still graduate um those those are some things that really stand out but I think again um something needs to be done in the area of science um again as I mentioned they do kind of average work third grade fourth grade fifth grade EX s and then they come to sixth grade they did it was over the region um average but then
032seventh and eighth grade it seemed like everything just bottom down everything just went down anyone else want to make a comment B would in addition to what Mr missa was referring to with uh the science uh the region on science it's 63% and we're 54% but also social studies and I know that we have addressed social studies in the past and not only social studies but our bilingual and Ela students however I know that our district and I you just saw how many teachers have excelled in what they do in the classroom and I know that our district is also looking at highly effective instruction and I know that your team is also working on plans to improve upon those deficiencies it's not just that we look at the scores if we look at Ela
033reading for example the state is at 67 the region at 63 and our district is at 53 so we're about 10% below the district um however like I said when you look at the end of course exam for example if you look at the end of course exam in US history um the state is at 96 our district is at 94 and the region is at 996 but when I look at the high school they're at 94 so we're very close at the end of course exams but we need to look at the overall uh just like Mr um M eluded to but thank you for what you're doing and I know that the principles are also here and they're going to be working on their CIP plan their campus performance uh objectives so that
034in itself I think will lead to uh us getting a better recognized uh status but thank you Miss y yes ma'am thank you I do have to acknowledge that there were some changes made and so for the betterment um in regard to personnel and things with some of the district that were scoring low the other area that I look at very carefully is the number of students at Master grade level and that's an area that we really would like to like to see the principls get those students to the master level yes sir as well anyone else any comments on the public then we'll close this public hearing thank you thank you okay next item on our agenda reports item 8 a discuss survey results for the 20 25 2026 S CISD school calendar Amy
035[Music] chers good evening president Mesa Dr Rios and members of the board this evening um I am reporting on the uh 2025 2026 school calendar option surveys that was uh put out with the help of the district planning decision-making committee um the we put together three calendar options that were sent out um all three calendars have these common components these are the holidays that we had discussed earlier the primary differences between the three options uh both plan a oh sorry option A and option b uh include five RTI dates and are have a total of 175 instructional days option C had four RTI days with a total of 176 instructional days we had a total of 616 responses to the survey that was uh put out it was uh administered and put out for two
036weeks and and based on the responses that we received option A received 352 votes or 57% of those who responded option b received 204 votes or 33% of those who responded and option C received 60 votes or 10% of those who responded this next slide shows of those 616 responses uh the type the classification of the employee type that voted for each of the options and again as you can see option A received the most votes So based on the information that we received from the survey responses um later on in the agenda we have an item where we will be Administration will be recommending the option a calendar for approval for the 2025 26 school year questions from board members Mr alindo Mr J uh first thank you'all for bringing this forward into the
037district planning committee um as far as the survey goes is that given to them with only these three options then they can put their comments on there yes so we we um each of the three options are are attached to to the survey along with uh the differences and the common and then there is an area that they can put a respon any notes or comments that they'd like and I those were shared with you also okay I guess my point is at what point do we take those into consideration because there's a lot of comments that we got on here and it's showing what they would wish and at the end of the day right it comes down to what we can work with our staff to do but it would have I mean
038just a thought would it be possible to do a survey beforehand to see what options they would like and present them with those options cuz some of these I mean there's a common consensus it's RTI days and then one was the spring break right but is it able to do something beforehand and say what would you like to see in this next calendar and then the committee puts it together says this is what we're commonly seeing that they want RTI days on Mondays Fridays before the break and then give some options on that and then they can vote on it because they're voting on the options that are given and not really able to they give their input but you know when is it taken into consideration not saying it's not but I want to
039know that process please so Mr the the way it should work is that the different committees that review the calendar should be represented by every campus uh for example the the uh side base committee and and there is where the campuses you know talk to the representatives and make those suggestions so that they can have some kind of representation okay now I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every campus you know had their their uh people even be aware of who the representative is to make it known uh but it has to happen before them because otherwise it would be too much data okay so you know we just need to encourage our um campuses to to remind teachers hey this is your representative and this is a person who's going to
040speak up for the Cal because to do it you know after the fact where the comments are coming in you're right it's it's almost pointless uh and really we're just giving them another chance to be upset because well I made this comment well you made the comment after we voted on it so we just probably have to go back and make sure that up front when when the committee is going to get together that every campus is reminded if you have any changes that you want from last year here's where you make your your um your voice heard and I understand and that's why you know we see the comments and we do read them and take them to consideration and want to try to to work with the staff as best but again like
041I said it's after the fact but we don't want anybody to think we're not looking at them and reading them we are that's why we want to bring it up if there's a better way um there's always room for improvement so is there a better way that we can make sure we're listening to our staff and adhere to to what works best for them cuz I mean some of the comments you know had information they would prefer Mondays compared to Fridays RTI days or things like that so just want to make sure they're being listened to so we can make a calendar that's feasible I know it can't please 100% but if we can just look at that closer as we get ready for this next year thank you thank you Mr gindo anyone else
042yes sir yeah Mr Overfelt um I as Mr gindo said we we read the comments I read the comments um and I'm U I'm smart enough and and manad enough to to know when I probably made a mistake and recommending that or or saying that hey let's move R to to Friday and stuff like that and I did it with good intentions of trying to ensure that students were going in and um not being deprived of educ their educ more so than than normal and and uh I I I particularly singled out ECS U because of of what their schedule looks like and and to to go in and not deny that I got popped in the mouth for um for for some of the comments on on that there uh I I completely under
043understand that um and you know I'm yeah I I probably I probably made a mistake in in going in and suggesting that that we move it to Fridays after looking through the stuff and and hearing back from the teachers that you know four or five days after a six weeks does make a a big difference to them you know and and I should have known better you know very early on I learned not to ever make fun of a bulletin board there and the the amount of work that goes into a bulletin board for elementary schools uh there because that's a very sore subject uh there if uh when you bring bulletin boards up um so the I admit that that was probably wrong for for me to go in and say that uh and
044and I I regret that I I I did that and caused angst amongst the the the teaching staff there that being said U the the initial survey was sent out on March 3r uh and then on March 12th it was sent out again a reminder was sent out again that was one day before uh the kiddos were out cuz we left the kiddos left on the 13th and then 14th was an RTI day I believe um or of in service day uh and and out of that we got out of 1500 employees 616 submitted a response that's a 41% response rate it's probably one of the lowest ones we've seen in a very very long time uh I think that um I I I I believe we probably pushed it too late to them because
045by the time we got into that week before spring break let's face it a lot of people are checking out just trying to hold it together uh to get to uh to to get to get to get to that that Thursday uh there um I don't know if there's a state mandated uh time frame that these have to be adopted by um at the risk of of putting my foot in my mouth again um maybe maybe we send it back uh and and give we send it back out with the the main things that they're asking for is putting those RTI days back to you know what was actually working for them and uh run the run the survey again um as far as spring break and why I got moved up Dr Rios you
046can answer to that as to why spring break why our spring break kind of changed um because of you know our partnership with one of the one of our learning groups there so I don't know that that's a thought uh again I acknowledge that I I I made a a mistake in in going in and saying let's let's move it to Friday so that kiddos certain kiddos aren't missing out on on instruction and that like I said that kind of set some people off I I apologize um if there was a way if there is a way to go back and and say send it back put everything to Monday bring it back to us in in in April and we'll be and go from there uh you know that would be good but I
047I do apologize to the I do apologize to the teachers and and staff for that suggestion I had good intentions in heart but um it it didn't I guess didn't go the way I I thought it would so thank you Mr Orel Dr r m children can you bring up the the survey results again between options a b and c okay um Mr overfill I understand uh your concern for for the the good intentions here's a an alternate solution the the option A was overwhelmingly the selected option okay how about if we take it to site base with the comments and have site base with Miss Adams uh review uh the comments and then they can make a recommendation and that way uh the board can approve it today with with the the um you
048provided that with the that there could be a change in the yes the days that the RTA fall on yes sir now the truth is is that the the way the budgets used to work um we needed to have the budget adopted by I'm sorry the um the calendar adopted uh correct me Miss Childers we do have some leeway uh now yes so we could put the survey out again U and have everybody vote on it again but again it's overwhelmingly option A another option would be to have site base um just work it out with the representatives and then they could tell their fellow teachers hey what is it that you want um and have them discuss it at the next meeting but again we could send it out loud again uh I'm just
049trying to to to move forward whatever Direction y'all would want itate Mr M Mr overfell okay and that was my concern from the last meeting that we had that we had low percentage of responses and so I was hoping it'd be over 50% but it wasn't so whatever the board decides yeah I am you know in looking at the responses here you know RTI RTI R RTI um the um vast majority of them about let me see if I can find a a good one um you know one of them that falls on a particular Friday uh feels unnecessary disrupts the flow of instruction leading into star um the you know big one in there's thank you for keeping the RTI day so that's that's good uh but the I think the big thing is
050from reading it teachers would rather it be like I said right there at the end of the six weeks so they can delve into the data and not 4 days later and than than what's being uh proposed and then of course the other big one was Spring Break um and spring break is because we we don't want uh to have a different from spring break than Texas State College because our kids participate on both so sense you know they have to coordinate between three districts so it's easier if we coordinate with them versus Eagle Pass come up with one Ral with one Deus everybody different it's easier if we coordinate with it the easiest thing would be to side base take it to side base but again if we have time we'll take it back
051to the teachers yeah um I'm I'm good with with site base based on the the the option a percentage there yes unfortunately we did 41 again it's again it's probably like I said right before spring break you know we're trying to hold it together uh mentally there because I know in my classes I was trying to keep everybody on task two um so um if if we if the board's cool with that there I'm I'm fine board fine with that yes take it to site base site base okay and and just for clarification so when it goes to site base when it goes to miss Ruby you'll be reaching out to each of the campus representatives and they will ask their they'll run a little kind of a mini survey amongst the campus and say
052hey do you want the RTI days back to the way it used to be or on the Fridays and then you'll bring us that information for addendum yes okay and of course the options you know again option A B or C whatever all right okay then thank you thank you so much that report Dr if it's okay Mr pres can we move up item 14 C just so that we can approve it right now that that it's pression our minds with the provision and I'll read the recommendation [Music] 14 okay um are all board members okay we move item 14 C Administration yes okay the item reads consideration to approve the 2025 2026 school year calendar with the recommendation Mr M of members of the board it is a recommendation of the administration that the
053Board of Trustees approve option a calendar for the 2526 school year with the provision that sbase will review teacher comments and make changes as appropriate to the RTI dates agrees with everyone okay there's a motion seconded by Miss web all those in favor motion carries then we'll do that thank you very much much thank you okay we go to the next report again item 8 B report of Middle School redesign Sandra hernandis on it's czy here good evening president Mesa Dr Rios and members of the board this evening I'll be presenting to you I believe I got the wrong slide here sorry here we go that's better today's presentation is to provide you with an update on our Middle School redesign process um last month we talked about parent notification of students uh being rezoned
054from the middle school and from Garfield Elementary since then as you see here um we have uh sent out letters all of our letters have been received by the parents um also new tech Academy um has uh sent out acceptance letters I believe they're still in the process of of sending out acceptance letters for all of the Middle School uh students um and this occurred during the week of March the 10th through the 14th the Garfield resoning letters were also delivered uh we completed that process so all of our elementary students at Garfield attending Garfield um have received their letters notifying them of the school that they will be attending um with this process what we've done is we've taken the rezoning uh map that was created by the demographer and we have updated our
055school locator and I'm going to show you our school locator this is on our school website it can be access through the A on the A through Z area and you'll find the school locator and any parent can actually go onto the website and they can locate this is aligned to the Google Maps and they could actually type in their street address and I'm going to for the sake of uh sharing this didn't show Sandra excuse me it didn't show okay let me try this just close a let me try closing no that's not where we want to go we want to go to the district website there we go so we want to go to the A through Z going through the A through Z we're going to find our school locator oh it's
056stuck on the Can You Escape and go directly to the website I I just tried that there we go so here is the School locator and they will access the maps and it's I like aligned to Google Maps so just for the sake of uh sharing I'm going to share my childhood address and you can type in parents can type in their Childhood address or their child's address and this will give you exactly where the house would be your residents will be and you will see the Zone schools so in this case um as a child that would be Zone to Lamar Elementary if I was an elementary student and Garfield uh middle school if I was a middle school student I would be zoned to these two schools so parents can actually go in
057there right now um of course they received their letter but they would already know if they have an elementary child who is a fourth grader moving on fifth grade and going on to middle school they want to know what school they're going to be attending they can already do this right now and this is actually uh live okay so we completed that one section so we are done with the parent notification process in the resoning uh process we've also uh have completed the Middle School Staffing process so for Middle School Staffing we looked at the student counts once that we determined the student counts by Millis schools we have been able to then align them with the course offerings the sections that they're going to need the VAC icies that they're going to have and
058this is where um our principles have now been able to determine the teaching assignment uh or reassignment so Middle School staff have received their notifications and they know what their current assignment is we are now working in the process of working with Garfield Staffing so now looking at uh all of our elementary principles who have received the list listing of students who are going to be rezoned to their campus they're now in the process of doing the same thing looking at their counts and determining the staffing needs at their campuses and they are in the process of finalizing that process and then lastly I want to uh share with you um the uh citizens committee the last citizens committee was able to take take a tour uh a spirit tour if you will um across
059uh campuses um they have gone to when a Vista Elementary they have gone to uh San Felipe Memorial Middle School and they have gone to freshman uh the campuses the elementary school Baba's the oldest elementary school and got to tour and uh you'll see that they got to see um just the know what the school looks like and some of the things that that are in comparison to some of the Elder elementary schools they got to take their notes they got to go to the Freshman Campus and got to see freshman campus is uh the oldest school um that hasn't had Renovations uh extensive renovation so they wanted to look at that um and got to see some of the needs that cour in that campuses all the way around and then at San Philipe
060and you can see here pictures um they enjoyed that tour I got to take a bus ride uh on one of our uh electric buses and got to see so the next step here is as they've written their notes they're going to come back and they're going to PRI uh find uh prioritize a list or give us a list of some of those areas in which they think we need to consider for Capital Improvements moving forward so moving on into April um as I mentioned to you earlier we'll be finalizing those Staffing plans for elementary schools due to the resoning and then the citizens committee will reconvene to review those projects um that may be recommended uh by the citizens committee uh for us to consider and making improvements uh any questions board members Mr
061maras um as far as Garfield Staffing I see uh rbe and ch e principles weren't involved in that um are we not sending teachers from Garfield to rbe or CH ask we're only sending teachers to the campuses that are taking students from Garfield if you'll notice later on in the meeting today tenisa Hills will have a whole lot of waivers because that enrollment keeps going up uh for two reasons one because it's just a growing part of town and two because because of the STEM Magnet uh so they'll they'll be at the same number as everybody else but if we send kids over there will'll be too high and then rbb we can't send kids our base yes that's why I sir okay and um when when do we anticipate that the uh Garfield staff
062will know where they're going um I'm gonna have to put Mr children on the line when when did we schedule the committee meeting with the principals for Miss children we'll be sending out them to give us their estimated counts and how many teachers they're going to be meting this week and then we'll something for next week the earliest would be the third week in April okay okay the latest would be the fourth week in April thank you anyone else sir sorry F just to follow up on that since uh and I'm sure we've we've already talked about it for those teachers that will be uh being dispersed to other other campuses uh the district will they can pack everything up and we will move it right to the campuses that they're going to so they
063don't have to Mr Overfield we sent out a letter to the teachers that were being reassigned and we shared with them a that the district would provide boxes for them and that we would move it for them and then we also offered them 8 hours of extra duty pay uh that they could use to to pack up and set their room up cool thank you anyone else done thank you very much thank you next report we have is item 8 C term for attendance and discipline report any questions from board members regarding attendance or discipline report who's in the packet Dr just a note Mr Messa the first and second and third term we had seen increases unfortunately during the fourth term we had some uh very cold days if you remember we didn't do
064a late start and even though we had better attendance than had we done a late start it still affected um our attendance terribly that entire week and then there was just a whole lot of illanes so unfortunately we did see a considerable drop for the fourth term when compared to last year but hopefully with the warmer days coming uh we'll we'll see a a trend up and to the right when compared to last year I noticed that that we dropped uh from the 90s to the 80s so I don't think we'll have any more freezing days I think we're out of it okay so I expect to see the next one he just jinxed us principles that OB be in the night is okay any questions from or um again uh for laa Sate anyone

068days 819 tickets were created 98% were completed 61 to 90 days 54 two tickets were created 99% completed transportation department 303 work uh tickets were created in the P previous 90 days 96% were completed on 0 to 15 days 84 tickets were created 96% completed 16 to 30 days 46 tickets were created 96% were completed 31 to 60 days 114 tickets were created 96% were completed 61 to 90 days 59 tickets were created 95% were completed questions questions board members Dr Rios um or Mr Chapa I I really don't see the need anymore for the acoustical work at Doo Middle School we have less students use that for something else Mr M the can you put that list back up there CH so that that particular list there Mr M says unfortunately all those are
069unfunded items right now except for the fences uh we're just uh aggregating uh the costs and and then they'll you know prioritize them for future projects but but unfortunately uh unless it's a fence um or unless our people are doing it locally like for example the lights at the student guidance and learning center uh they did the remodel but they never changed the lights so our people are doing that that's why there isn't a cost uh next to it uh but for the rest of these there there really isn't a budget we just want to prioritize so that we want the committee to tell us you know this is one we deem the most important second important third uh so that if if the board ever decides to use any excess funds they can but
070um I don't know what to tell you unfortunately none of those high- priced items would happen this year or this summer um except for uh possibly the work that our people are doing like the locker rooms at Garfield because we'll our people will do that work but those that have a price up there the acoustical treatment at Delio Middle School the interior Refresh on which in my opinion would be the number one project to do but just because we're not going to do anything with a bond uh with that if there is a bond uh but again U this just not going to happen the obviously the eight back needs possibly can because we've brought that to to you but yeah you mentioned that before Mr Mesa and and maybe we shouldn't even put this
071slide up there anymore because it's just not going to happen um so that's fine it's been done once but to no avail there was a number of students that so we're reducing the number of students so should make a big difference it'll give us at least it'll give us a year right to to see what effect it has yeah it's fine although having been there I think we know that whether it's 25 kids in the cafeteria or 500 kids in in the cafeteria it's just the it was poorly designed okay that's my only comment yeah all right anyone we done thank you so much thank you okay the next item is the consent agenda again one item will approve all items um one vote we'll approve all items on the consent agenda there are some

075those items so thank you for for working on that getting it done yes anyone else thank you [Music] sir anyone else with a question if not we consider the consent agenda motion to approve U Mr Orel made a motion to approve Mrs Webb seconded all those in favor motion carries unanimously go on to Administration again consideration to approve the first reading and final reading for CE local annual operating budget SRA nness good evening once again president Messa Dr Rios and members of the board the policy that we're presenting um on this particular policy CE local is the revision to reflect the change of the operation of the district's fiscal year from September the 1st and ending August 31st to beginning July 1st and ending June 30th and that's the current practice that we have questions
076um Andrew is always when you meet with principles and you get um any uh requests for larger items Dr Ros you know whatever it might be will that be considered will there be sufficient plans in regards to the requests Mr Messa we don't know what the state's going to do in terms of budget and we don't know what how much of our uh excess fund balance we're going to do so we'll take their um requests but again it'll be something that won't be determined until after the budget is adopted because we have to wait and see what the legislature is going to do are they going to be helpful or are they not so in all honesty we we really we have to wait till uh July or August then my follow-up question will be
077with some of the revenue that we might recoup from the appraisal district will that be incorporated into next year's budget it'll be incorporated into the excess fund balance for us to determine what we have to and we're going to start the budget process uh at least the the meetings uh next week of the board decides to hold the first meeting next week but the the biggest question for the Board of Trustees in my opinion y y'all could obviously feel different but the biggest question is after we decide what it looks like the state's going to give us what kind of raise are we going to be able to offer our employees and is that going to go into the excess fund balance that we have or not so until we we have those questions answered
078and then have the board respond to to the those questions then we'll determine how much money we have for those projects that's why all those projects that were up there that we were talking about um different things we can't commit to any of them until we hear from the state and then the board decides uh but I I know that it's waying heavily on the board that they weren't able to give a raise last year and at least if I remember correctly that was what y'all wanted to address first so yes then any updates on the transfer of Department of Education going to the state in regard to Federal money uh the only update that I have heard is that um the federal government intends to use other agencies as pass through for those funds
079and that they intend to continue to fund uh but nothing has been put in writing it's all rhetoric at this point any updates in regard to the only thing that I've heard is special ed will be going to Department of Health and Human Services any any other update that you know no sir Miss childis and I discussed it also we don't yeah that's a big concern for me if you know what I mean okay well keep us updated because again um there's two two things happening again we we'll make a visit to Austin on April 2nd and 3rd but um the state is one thing the budget for the state and then the transition from Department of Education which again might affect the Region Center and you know our trainers and so forth so if
080any anybody knows anything would you please let us know as soon as possible yes sir okay any any further questions for Sandra okay Sandra the recommendation please yes sir it is the recommendation of the administration that the Board of Trustees approve the first and final reading of board policy CE local annual operating budget at as presented got the recommendation there's a motion from shindo second from Amy Haynes all those in favor motion carries unanimous thank you very much Item B consideration to approve second reading of proposed revision to local policy EIC local academic achievement class ranking Sandra arandes thank you sir as you mentioned uh this is the second reading of policy uh draft e I local on class ranking uh during the board policy review committee meeting held last uh Wednesday March the 12th
081the committee members uh recommended additional edits from the original draft that was presented previously in the first reading and this particular uh draft establishes the criteria and it simplifies the language that will explain the calculation and you will see that you have a new copy uh in front of you it simplifies I the calculation shall include the semester grades from the four highest yearly averages earned in the highest weighted category for English mathematics and science and the semester grades from the three highest yearly averages earned in the highest weighted category for social studies in addition to that edit uh to that discussion uh with our principles ear high school and Early College High School principles the committee recommended that we include language that would limit the changes to course selection up to the fourth week
082of the first grading period of each semester so we included language in the policy that you'll see text that says the student shall not be permitted to drop or add a course after the fourth week of the first um grading period of each semester questions no questions board members no questions recommendation please yes sir it is a recommendation of the administration that the Board of Trustees approve the second reading of policy EIC local academic achievement class ranking as presented call for a motion motion made by Mr web seconded by Becki Chavez all those in favor motion carries thank you sir thank you very much item C consideration to approve first reading of tasby localized policy manual update 124 affecting policies daa local fiscal management D CDA local other revenues Investments Cy local intellectual property thank
083you again Mr Messa the policy Review Committee met again on Wednesday March the 12th to review this series of uh policy updates released by tasby The recommend recommended revisions excuse me to CAA local at Federal Awards uh disclosure are to align texts with the updated rules regarding federal grants found in the code of federal regulations and this guidance became effective October the 1st 20124 in CDA local the section on sellers of Investments is recommended for revision to specify that Representatives with the Distributors of investment pools uh must be registered with the Texas state Securities board and um that is included in the text in that policy um under Cy local that policy clarifies the circumstances uh under which the um the district's intellectual property may be used and where ownership of intellectual property uh Lies
084when material is created by District uh employee and we are this is only one part part one of a group of policy drafts that were released by taspy and these are all under uh the CAA which is the financial and fiscal management as well there was some discussion in regard to um uh let's see intellectual property which is it's when you read it you understand it that School logo and so forth that this is school generated you know it's personal property from the school district no one can you know make t-shirts and sell them because again it that belongs to us yes sir without permission by the district yeah and and so that's interesting to find out that you know during uh Co for example there were a lot of things that you know mask
085included that were being sold with the logo and so forth so we call it to their attention and they can't do that correct Andrew correct okay that's so way one understand so if a booster club wants to use the sfdr logo and the Ram or the queen they've got to get written permission from us to do that they're already affiliated with the school district aren't they to close that's correct and they're 100% of the profits go for our students so they're they're part of us so if Walmart wants to do T-shirts and sweaters like they've done in the past they they'd have to reach out to us for permission and they usually do and they give us a small percentage of of the The Profit okay cool okay yes no further questions recommendation yes sir

088Amy Haynes all those in favor motion carries unanimously thank you sir thank you next item we have is human resources item 14a discussion possible action to approve employee job descriptions and evaluation forms Amy children's Mr Messa yes we've been we will table until after close session both uh items a 14a and 14 B okay we'll take those items and we go on to item D consideration to approve the submission of the 2024 2025 requests for maximum class size waiver exception to Tea in chers good evening president Mesa Dr Rios and members of the board on February 25th 2025 a um a survey was uh excuse me a survey was done of our class sizes and we do have eight classes that we are needing to submit uh waivers for because they did exceed the class
089size [Music] limit so questions from board members so can you tell me a total of classroom that are over the class limit um for this waiver eight let me see here give me total I'm talking total I believe this is a fourth time that we do this third or fourth time [Music] 14 so I will have for I will have 22 total throughout the some throughout the year did fall back into the that we applied for earlier in the year did fall back into within the 22:1 ratio So currently as of the February 25th date I would have 22 classrooms that are over the the class ratios and there's no possible way of adding another teacher Dr re financially Mr Mesa yes uh however we have U vacancies and we have the fill uncertified teachers
090so unfortunately we would take students from a certified teacher and move them with an uncertified teacher if we added another one so our recommendation would be to forego that vacancy process and approve the class siiz waiver okay I have a question Mr orfeld um because I have some some info I just wanted to cross check there um for what what's the the max size again as defined by by tea so like um for ker through fourth grade it's it's what 22 22 to one okay and then um 6 through 8 is there nothing after that and then prek is there a Max on prek or a tea limit on prek is it 22 also it's governed by the federal government but at the prek level we are able to use the teacher and the aid
091and in that case I'm going to say 1 to 10 is a lot of Dantes here Dr Dantes is it 1 to 10 Dr Dantes yes oh yes I was right oh okay cuz I I'm just curious cuz Northside Northside ISD uh there was a story that came out this week about Northside ISD um and what they're facing for for next year and already starting to look at their budget and they were talking about in Kinder through fourth they're going to go from uh 23 to1 to 25 to one and in Pre prek 22:1 to 25:1 but we'll ignore prek so 23:1 to 25 to1 for Kinder through fourth if if they're doing that across the across ND is that something that they have to waiver every single classroom or is there like a blanket
092thing you can apply to tea for and say hey this is probably going to happen over the next year or two and we can just blank it the District of innovation process allows that as a matter of fact uh the commissioner uh himself encouraged classrooms um the a year and a half ago I believe that Mr Messa and I were at the um MBA conference and the commissioner spoke and when they challenged him on shortage of teachers and shortage of budgets he encouraged districts to use the District of innovation process to increase the classroom limits uh at the elementary levels uh so yes sir we could go through the District of innovation uh ask for uh to weigh the class siiz requirements and then set our own limits oh okay so that is a possibility
093um where's pandz yeah so she would if if we decided to go in that direction um we could we could definitely do that I just not ready to do yet yeah I was I was just curious how north side was doing it so I figured there would be an answer for that thank you yeah there are a couple of things Mr felt North Side their deficit budget is huge um they're losing a lot of uh enrollment to Charter Schools and so they're having to do something drastic um I wouldn't recommend for us in regard to again the effectiveness of teaching kind of goes you know um too many students and it's hard for the teach teachers to reach all students it's a difficult thing to decide on but okay any further questions for the children's
094okay then recommendation please yes sir it is the recommendation of the administration that the Board of Trustees approve the submission of the 2024 2025 request for maximum class siiz waiver exception to tea and compliance plan for the recommendation is there a motion for approval motion made by m gindo seconded by Bey Chavez all those in favor motion carries unanimously thank you okay the time is 7:57 p.m. we're going to go into close session pursuant to 551.074 and 55171 if any action needs to be taken it will be taken upon reconvening into Open Session we're now in closed session [Music] too fast was [Music] too e for e for e e e e e e okay the time is 9:30 p.m. we're now in Open Session no action was taken executive we're down to item we
