Board of Trustees consider approval of the 2026 2027 board meeting calendar. B academics.
007>> Can we hold up there for one second? U Miss Gunther spoke to me earlier this before the meeting and she would like to suggest that we think about u for the board meeting calendar for next year having the first part of the first basically the first semester have our uh agenda prep meetings at noon but then in the second semester when we move into the budget cycle that we would have the budget meetings at this time every night on the first Monday. So, typically we have the first Monday is the agenda prep meeting and we've been holding those at noon except as this spring has moved moving forward, we've moved that meeting like tonight to 6:00 more often. Um, so everybody just think about that and we can discuss it at the meeting. But
008that's what the [music] the proposed calendar that Miss Gunther is going to bring forward. >> Okay. Um B academics consider approval of SMCISD school health advisory council shack end of 2526 [music] reports and nominations for the schoolboard report and nominations for the schoolboard approval for shack membership 25 through 27 2-year term C operations consider approval of the interlocal agreement between San Marcus CISD and the city of San Marcus acting and by through the San Marcus Police Department for school resource officers SRO. We we're actually going to be moving that to a close session. >> Okay. Um then then D purchasing one discussion of possible action regarding the approval of bid RFP- KS-2026-07 for the districtwide landscaping services including possible delegation of authority to the superintendent or designate to finalize any [music] agreement. And that'll be
009presented by um Mr. Marcus Alvarez. And then two, consideration and possible action regarding approval of a vendor for the San Marcus High School kitchen cafeteria serving line, including possible delegation of authority to the superintendent or designate to negotiate and execute a contract. And that'll be >> Yeah. Well, I just want to clarify. We are going to pull that item, that second one. We're going to delay it until a further board meeting. >> Okay. >> Thank you. So item two [clears throat] and then E consideration and possible action to adopt the 2627 budget and then 14 is [music] ajourned. Okay, I think we I know there's a few things to add. Um, we had discussed that the board would like to receive 30 60 90day plans from cabinet. And so if we receive those this week
010via email, then I think um having a short presentation from each cabinet member during the superintendent's report would be good. And I think it can be just a quick quick introduction of the general plan. We don't need to go through bullet by bullet. Does that sound good to everybody? Yeah. Um, and then Clen, I think you had an item. Did you want to put that into the superintendent's report also? >> Yes. I would like >> Turn your mic. >> I would like for us to have some kind of a preliminary star score report since the parent portal opens June 10th. I think that it's appropriate for us to have scores before it's open to the public. So, I would like to see some kind of preliminary STAR results. I'm sure Miss Nash is already Ms.
011Nash is already working on it. >> So, do you want the board to receive a written report before June 10th and then a presentation at the meeting? >> Yes. >> And again, I think that we've got a lot in this meeting, so we can keep the presentation to the high points. >> Um, Mr. Ardondo. Uh, thank you, Madam Board President. I have three agenda item requests, but they're all interconnected. Um, one is during the reports and information item session of the agenda, and it would, and I will communicate this language [music] to Alicia after the meeting, a presentation regarding employee and family workforce housing opportunities in partnership with Upward Communities. And then, if I'm not mistaken, now that we have an executive session already on the agenda, this would be under item 13, I guess,
012item 132, um, [music] deliberation regarding potential real estate and workforce housing opportunities for district employees and families, including consultation with representatives of Upwork communities pursuant to Texas Government Code sections [music] 551.071 and 551.072. And then my third and final item, I promise, is item 14, which would be consideration and possible action regarding employee and family workforce housing opportunities, including authorization for the administration to explore, negotiate, and or [music] develop a partnership framework with upward communities. And uh now that I've said all of that, just as a primer, I know that this proposal came to the board and my colleagues and I discussed this in executive session in 2024, I believe. I know that there was a lot of unknowns, a lot of questions and now here two years later I think Alva Hayes Lockhart um
013several neighboring school districts have pursued entered into these agreements and I think Lockhart ISD has houses going to be ready for move in in August and September. So the framework is there. I think those questions the answers to our questions that we had two years ago probably have answers. And [music] so I'm going to ask that we invite them back to present to to us again. >> So I'm assuming you'll put that into writing. >> Yeah. But I just want to make sure that I understand that one the first item will be a public presentation. >> Yes. During reports and information and then two subsequent executive session items. One in executive session to meet with of work communities and then a potential action item after we adjourn from executive session. And like I said, I'll
014communicate the language that I've [music] said to Alicia and staff have that. >> All right. Does anybody else have anything that they would like to add to this agenda? >> Seeing nothing, we will then go ahead. >> Uh, Mr. Understandable. I'm assuming during either the I'm assuming in this month because we don't meet in July if I'm not mistaken. We're going to get like a timeline on Mendes Elementary School and kind of what that looks like and all the ins and outs. Okay. >> Yeah. So, you might not have your presentation when Alicia sends you all the board book because I want to try to put update information in there which I'll probably maybe email you something a couple of days before the the board meeting and then present you the presentation. >> Awesome. Well,
015we'll have an update on the high school project and then Mendes as well. >> And then will we have additional information or do you have a timeline on the supplemental bond projects? Like has have those funds started to be expended and >> we we did the PO for the buses. The buses are on order and um I've done one PO for the Bonham CDC move on a canopy that we're going to be installing and [clears throat] then I just got another bid today on the small playground that we're going to do. So that that's moving. >> Cool. >> Uh HVAC, we're still probably that's probably a next summer project. Yeah. >> The work on Hback. [music] So >> awesome. Thank you, Mr. Sandable. >> Okay. So, anything else for agenda prep? I just want to
016remind everybody we have a preliminary meeting scheduled. We don't typically have three meetings a month, but in June, we often do. Do we have a third meeting scheduled for the third Monday at 6:00 to uh do the tax rate? Set the tax rate. No. >> No. We're going to approve our budget. Uh we're going to present you the budget on the 15th. So if we approve it, then we don't need to do anything other. We just have to approve it before the 30th. >> Okay. So if we approve it, we don't have to. But we do potentially have to still have that meeting in order to finalize some hires that are in progress. Correct. >> Correct. We'll um potentially have two principal positions that we'll be bringing forward. The Rodriguez principal um and the San
017Marcus High [music] School principal. >> And how are we on those >> um those hiring plans? The the same that we've presented in close session. We've already indicated all of um the dates will um be going through each process. We've worked with um each campus to identify um those sitting in each round of interviews. And so those timelines, um, one will occur this Thursday and then in two weeks we'll do the high school interviews. All right. Um, anything else? If not, is there a motion to move into close session as authorized by section 551.129 and 551.074 of the Texas Government Code? >> So moved. >> I'll second. Motion made by Mr. Ardondo, seconded by Miss Cantu. All in favor, please raise your hand. Thank you very much. Okay, I'm calling us back into open session
018at 6:44. for before we move to the information item, I did have one more or the action item. I had one more information item. [music] Um, TASBY board region 13 position B is coming up for election and we have been notified that we are invited to nominate a trustee from our board for that position. The position is currently held by Steven Mackey from Blanco ISD and Mackey has indicated that he will be seeking reelection. So, if this is something that anybody's interested in running for, please let me know and we will put it onto the agenda for later this month. So, >> President Hoy, I also have one thing. >> Yes. >> Uh under items for action B, academics, the approval for the uh school health advisory council. We want to remove that whole uh
019action item. Uh everybody that's on that committee right now is serving a two-year term. So, they all expire in in another year. So, we'll bring this back to y'all. But, uh up under uh section 10 under reports, we we will be providing a a shock report or an update. >> And will that update include um whatever staff member is now leading the shack, an update on the leadership? >> We can. Yes, >> that would be great. >> All right. Before we move into action, anything else? Okay. Um, we are now item 7A, discussion, action to propose termination of the classroom teachers term contract for good cause and authorize the superintendent to send notice. Is there a [music] motion? >> Madam Board President, >> Mr. Ardano. >> Uh, thank you, Miss Hollyy. I move that the
020board approve the proposed termination of classroom teacher Renee Gomez term contract for good cause as discussed in close session and authorize the superintendent to send notice to Renee Gomez. I [snorts] will second that motion. Any questions, discussion? Seeing none, all in favor please raise your hand. Opposed that motion carries 6.
