Can you hear me? >> I don't hear you very well. >> Can you Can you hear like pretty good or does it sound quiet to you? Make sure it's not in my Zoom client. >> Is it pretty quiet? >> Yeah, that's always the challenge with PCs. You can hear it relatively good on like iOS devices and Mac OS devices, but you still got to turn it up. That's the problem we're having. But if you can hear it, we should be okay. >> Okay. Can you hear me, though? You want to test it on the Do you have the YouTube stream going? I
002>> do. Sounds okay. >> Let me Let me go look at it. But this is enough audio to check it. There's nothing we can do to adjust it on the YouTube stream anyway. [snorts] And so, as long as we tested it, All right, welcome everybody to this meeting of the San Card of Trustees. Tonight is Monday, March 23rd, 2026. Welcome back from spring break and heading into the testing season and the finals 8 weeks. My children keep going back and forth about whether there's eight weeks left or seven weeks and whether we just had a short one. Anyway, um this is a meeting held in public, but not a meeting of the public. You're invited to observe and listen as the board conducts its business. During the public forum portion of the meeting, you are
003welcome to address the board per published guidelines. All items that will be discussed and voted on this evening have been posted as required by law. In compliance with the state government code on open meetings act, the proceeding is being recorded and will become part of the summer cistd permanent legal record. To ensure the recording accurately reflects the proceedings, please refrain from talking while others are speaking. In accordance with state law and district policy, disruptive conduct must be avoided so as not to interfere with the meeting. The board shall not tolerate disruption of the meeting by members of the public. This statement serves as the first warning from the presiding officer to the public, and if an individual decides to disrupt the meeting, assistance from law enforcement officials will be requested and have the individual removed
004from the meeting. Thank you for joining this us this evening. Uh at this time I'm declaring that we have a quorum. We have five board members, four board members present. Um and others I believe are joining us shortly. Um and I would like to invite Principal Reio up with her students from Daisal Elementary School to lead us in the pledges. Good evening, Dr. Gardona and board members that are here and everyone in spirit. I'd like to introduce our DZ leadership group here, some of our members. These students greet students every morning in carpool bus cafeteria. They help in all the ways that you can imagine as fifth graders do. and we are really proud of them. So, [music] all right, let's say our pledges. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of
005America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Texas. I pledge algiance to the Texas one state under [singing] God one and indivisible. >> Thanks so much y'all. The next item is public forum. We have two speakers this evening. Uh please come to the podium, state your name and address and you'll have three minutes to speak. The first speaker is Susie Carter. Um, my speech reflects the books that are in your schools and I believe they have content that is not suitable for children. So, if any of you parents would like to remove the children during this time, it might be advisable. Um, books that contain profane, undecent, or sexually explicit content are illegal in Texas public schools. And yet you and your superintendent
006cling to these pornographic books. And here's one of them that you're clinging to. It's called The Nowhere Girls. Um, the skinny lazy stoner loved to [ __ ] all night, was part of my herum for a couple of nights, ended up in the hospital for a few days with some kind of infection, but asked me to visit her. I [ __ ] her in the bathroom when she was high on painkiller. Is this the kind of uplifting literature that you all believe you should be buying with people's tax money? Do you want your children and grandchildren to read about stuff like this? I don't really think it is very pitiful. Um, but all of you who agree with me, please raise your hands. All the rest of you, I wonder if you're pedophiles are what? What is your problem
007that you want the children to read stuff that is filthy as can be? We must take action to protect our children from harmful content. They deserve the best literature, not filth. Following the law is a requirement, not a suggestion. San Marcus ISD is still not following the law. You are protecting and keeping on your shelves books that are worse than what I read about to you. There was also [music] one that was about gang rape about a young girl who was a nobody and she was she was thinking one young man one school boy was getting sweet on her and she kind of let herself get close to him. After a while he locked the door and had his friends rape her as well. This is the kind of stuff that you have in your
008school. There is no excuse for it. All you're doing is saying, "Well, the staff told us it's okay." The staff shouldn't be telling you what to do. If the staff says, "Jump off the cliff." Do you all do it? Are you a bunch of limmings that just do what the staff or the superintendent tells you? What is your purpose in being on the school board? You're not protecting the children. You are actually arming the children with these kinds of drugs. And it it really grieves me to have to come here. I have been a teacher for many years and I can't imagine that these books do any good for anyone. I think it grooms the children to think that sexual perversion is and drugs is normal. >> Thank you very much. Second speaker this evening
009is Reverend Jim Davis. Good evening. >> Yeah. Good evening. I'm Pastor Jim Davis of Grace Bible Church here in San Marcus. My congregation and I are deeply committed to raising our families according to God's word as the ultimate moral law. We are determined to pass on these timeless, ethical standards to ne the next generations of San Marcus and Hayes County. I come before you tonight respectfully, but with urgency and [music] conviction. Superintendent Cardona once assured me that the district had found a way to meet legal requirements while keeping certain materials. However, that position no longer holds. The US Supreme Court in Miller versus California clearly ruled that obscinity is not constitutionally protected. Obscene materials appeals to purant interest according to community standards describes sexual conduct in patently in offensive manner and lacks serious value. These
010are the very standards violated by materials in our school libraries. Materials that are profane and indecent and defined as defined under the Texas Senate Bill 13. Profane and indecent content is what cannot be broadcast on radio or television during family hours or depicted in theaters for minors. Yet such contactent has been present and even read aloud in public forums here. Jesus warned it would be better for a person if a male stone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. Hebrews says that marriage is to be held in honor among all and and and the marriage bed is to be on the file for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. These biblical standards and many others have been violated by
011exposing children to graphic sexual content. Texas Penal Code section 4324 prohibits the distribution or display of harmful material to minors material whose dominant theme appeals to purant interests of sex nudity or excretion is patently offensive and lacks redeeming value for minors you are in violation of this statute. Furthermore, recent changes such as those closing loopholes in SB14 eliminate any claim that sexually explicit material has educational [clears throat] value redeeming value. The old argument no longer applies. I've sent you excerpts from nowhere girls including lines like virgins count double. He says most of the guys laugh. Start with the freshman. They're the easiest. This book graphically describes sexual exploits, including the detailed gang rape of a 15-year-old by upper classman. This is not education. It's harmful exposure that plants dangerous ideas into adolescents [music] minds. Board
012members, you have a sacred duty to protect your children. Remove these materials immediately. Enforce Senate Bill 13 rigorously and align with community Sanders, state law, and moral truth. Our children deserve libraries free from content that causes them to stumble. There's [music] [bell] >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> The next item this evening is the superintendence report. Dr. Cardona. >> Madame President, members of the board, uh good evening. At this time, I'd like to introduce Dr. Twilo Guardo who has some wonderful announcements. Oh, CJ ODMS been given that task been volunttoled. All right, come on up. [clears throat] >> Good evening, Dr. Gardana, members of the board. I am proud to stand with Dr. Gardo, the principal at San Marus High School to welcome our members of our Taffy program. So, the program
013is teaching and training. So these are our future educators that go through our program and the association that they've become a part of is the Texas Association of Future Educators. So back in February, those [music] these students, we had 18 students that qualified for Taffy State, the state competition across 11 different events. And at the state competition, the San Marcus High School Taffy chapter was once again uh recognized as a state outstanding chapter under the guidance of their teacher Emily Buckine. And we had from that position five students that have now qualified for the national championships and they will be taking place this summer in Portland, Oregon. And so I'll call out what what there's there's one double so they get to go up there twice. Right. So in educators rising moment in that event.
014George Reio is qualified for NATIONALS in lesson planning and delivery. Eleanor Hiner has QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS. >> [applause] >> AND THE ETHICAL dilemma team of mabrizats, Georgia Reio, Juliet Risio, and Sam Somi have qualified for nationals. [applause] So, we just want to congratulate them and that entire chapter at Miss Buck Team for their continual outstanding work and we're just excited to know that we're [music] seeing these future educators come right through our school here at San Marcus High School. Thank you. >> Congratulations. He >> said, "I'll be happy to chaperone with y'all, Oregon." >> I'll [laughter] volunteer. >> And next, I'd like to bring up Lacy Mattowski, Miss Lacy Madowski, who has another celebration of our students. >> All right, we have our science fair winners and their teacher or admin come on up and
015hang over here. It's my honor to recognize an outstanding group of fourth grade students who have achieved the highest level of excellence at this year's Greater Austin Regional Science and Engineering Fair. These students earned blue ribbon first place awards representing not only their campuses, but the very best of our district's commitment to scientific inquiry, innovation, and academic rigor. Their success began at our district science fair, which was coordinated by our K12 science district curriculum specialist, Mrs. Lydia Inglehart. The top 14 student projects from each elementary campus were evaluated by a panel of Texas State University uh professors and students. They were super impressed with what our students put out. It was very hard to pick uh people to move on. At this level, the judging focused on the strength of the project's experimental design, your
016scientific thinking, and the written explanation of results. So, after advancing beyond the district level, these students went on to represent our district at the regional competition in August, where they presented their projects directly to [music] judges, responding to questions and defending their methodology and findings with confidence and clarity. And uh this again this this reflects not only their dedication but that of our science educators. [music] Our science teachers are pretty top-notch and they mentor, guide and inspire them through this whole long process, right? It was a big project. So at this time I'd like to recognize each of our first place winners. We have Aiden Castillo from Crockett Elementary. [applause] His science teacher is Miss Danny Lynn Grreveng good and his uh project was called mission clean water. This project explored possible filtration methods of
017water using using naturally sourced materials and Aiden is here with his assistant principal Megan O'Neal. >> Megan, [applause] >> we also want to recognize Athena Gomez from Mendes Elementary. [cheering] >> Stay right there. HER science teacher is Miss Samantha Rodriguez and she earned first place for her lemon energy project. It explored using lemons as a natural energy source to produce electricity. And Athena is also here with her principal Suzanne Perkins. [applause] And then finally we have Valerie Valeraniano from Hernandez Elementary. HER science teacher is Miss Gloria Torres. Her project was Towel Wars. The project explored the absorption of liquid by various brands of paper towels. And she's here with her assistant principal, Miss Shereice Hamp. [applause] So, we're really uh proud of these students for their dedication, their curiosity, your commitment to excellence, and their
018achievements reflect not only their individual hard work, but that again of our science educators and our district's commitment to science education. So, one more time, congratulations to you all. [applause] And big thanks to Miss Miss Englehart for organizing that. >> Great job, everybody. >> Nice job. Dinner time. Make your parents take you somewhere nice. [laughter] Madame President and members of the board, also before you, you have for for TASBY a couple of uh resumes of candidates for the region 13. Um there's an envelope for y'all to vote. And if you just put it in there and seal it and all your votes are anonymous, I'll take all of them and then we'll mail them off to region 13 uh for y'all. And then at this time, if I could get Mr. Fernandez up here to
019do a brief presentation on additional day school year. Good evening, board of trustees. There it is. Is it on y'all screen? >> Yes. >> So, additional day school year. uh at the superintendent call with TEA, they presented the addition, the ADSY, the ADSI is short for additional day school year. They presented it to our superintendent in February. So, he quickly tasked uh cabinet to look into it and we had a call with TEA uh the week before uh spring break. And so, that's a little background on how we came about uh learning about ATS. So at ASI is um would be able to add formula funding for up to 30 additional school days um here in San Marcus CISD. And so there's two pathways for this type of funding is to generate half-day formula funding
020for all 30 half days or add 25 to 30 full days. And so the way this works is there's three different options. Option one, voluntary summer learning. Option two, intercessional intercession calendar or option three, a full year redesign. And so how this works is you must have an academic calendar of 175 days. We as a school board, we passed our academic calendar in January for 169. So TEA said, "Hey, you're 6 days short to get this additional funding for something you already do." And so the way this would work was option one, summer learning. We offer it here in San Marcus CISD preK through 12. And so if we were to approve 175day calendar, we would be able to receive funding for our summer school. Right now, summer school is strictly paid out of our
021general fund. We pay teachers. We educate students in the summer. And if we were to bump up to 175 days, that would trigger the ATC formula funding for summer learning. what is ATS and you know a little bit of background on it. There's two columns on this particular page. We're just going to focus on the left side. Uh the right side it would we would have to bump up our instructional days to 200. And to do that by next school year is just a little too much. We want to make the transition a little easier. But here are the requirements to receive that additional funding. We would have to serve at least one grade level within grades preK through 8. And we would ask for this funding for preK through 8 at all of our
022uh elementary and middle schools. It must uh we must pass 175 full instructional day calendar and meet the 75,600 minutes which currently [clears throat] our academic calendar 169 days with 75,600 minutes. And we' be able to add 1 to 30 additional half days of instruction beyond the base 175. Again, this is just strictly focused on sum receiving funding for summer learning. Uh we would have to provide at least 2 hours of instruction from a certified teacher, which we do every summer. Uh we provide 4 hours of of instruction and it would have to it these days would be separate from our regular instructional [music] days. So again, think of 175 instructional days. We we receive funding, right? every time the last few few summers that we have summer learning that's all locally budgeted we don't
023receive funding when students come to school if we get this funding if we get our uh calendar it's 175 we can receive funding for summer school two benefits from ATS one student outcomes so this program was approved uh in 2019 school district started implementing it in the 2020 2021 academic gear. Um, a lot of school districts didn't know about this program. That's why they brought it up to superintendent in the February call. Two two things from the ATS schools that have participated since 2020. They've seen uh ATI campuses achievement growth was three points higher than the state in math and four points higher in reading. So obviously student outcomes have increased. The second, our board, y'all have tasked us with coming to you with a balanced budget. So, we we found that we found the
024ATS program. And this is just a sample of the funding scenario per student funding for additional 30 days. Again, it probably would not be 30 days for our summer learning. We're looking at about 20, which is what we traditionally do. We only provide summer learning in June. So, 30 days, looking at 30 $30 per half day is $900. You times that by 15 students which would bring in 12,825 roughly around 34 classrooms assuming we have around 525 students which is a rough estimate of what we have in summer learning in SMCISD. So that would bring in an additional $436,000. Obviously you got to pay for teachers to run summer school as we do already. Right? instead of that money coming out of our local budget, we're we're creating that revenue through the ATS program. And
025so now if we bring in an additional revenue of 436, 218 is dedicated to teacher salaries and the rest of the 218 can be additional revenue for the district. Again, just to summarize ATSE in in in a easy way, we have summer learning in SMCISD. If we update our academic calendar for next year and increase it by 6 days, that would meet the ATSIE requirement and trigger additional funding for summer learning. Plain and simple. I we put together the presentation, but in layman's terms, that's what it does. Um what we need from y'all at doesn't need to be approved. The only thing that needs to be approved and updated is the academic calendar. So that's our ask to the board. And obviously it's not going for approval tonight, but this is what our academic calendar
026currently looks like. So we're again we're sitting at 169 academic days proposed for 2627. What we need to do is find six days to turn from non-school days to regular school days next school year. If you look at the calendar, if you notice the professional learning, the light blue colors. So you'll see October 8th, December 18th, January 5th, and April 23rd. Those are currently designated as professional learning days for our staff. September 25th is a parent community day and February 12th is a parent community day. What we're asking the board to do is convert these following days into regular school days. we it would be a a little different model than what we've done in the past, but September 25th convert from a parent community day to a half school day and then a half
027parent community day in the afternoon. So, what this does is um it's it gives us an additional day. So, we only have to attend school for 4 hours to be considered a full day and get us to the 175. So, uh bullet point number one gets us a full day. October 8th, December 18th, January 5th, and April 23rd would convert from a professional learning day to a regular school day. And then again, September 25th and February 12th will convert from a parent community day to a half school day. And then the second half would be a parent community day. The ATI proposed calendar will look like the following. Again, with those six changes, it would get us to 175. And I do want to clarify a few things. The start date for next year wouldn't
028change. The end date would not change. And based on the survey results and even questions from the board the last time we presented, a big concern was too many days off before holidays and the lack of um parent um supervision at home during these days. So now that this addresses multiple issues while increasing our funding for summer learning, I know that's a lot of information in a short amount of time, but again, all the board would need to do is prove 175 academic calendar days and then next summer, summer of 2027, any uh we would receive funding for students participating in summer learning and we would submit that in our PE submission in August of 2027 and receive funding for those students that attend summer school. >> This I mean seems great. Um I do
029worry about us losing those professional learning days because I think we were intentionally trying to intersperse those throughout the year so that teachers have a chance to uh regroup and rework. >> Yes. And so as a cabinet we did speak on this and Dr. Sanderson >> before I just have a question about that. Um so I just want to make sure I understand. So, the state is telling us that we can have extra money to fund our summer school program if we add more days to the regular school year. Can we not just add like 10 optional days in June and have that count? >> So, the great thing about it is um bad weather days. So, you get up to five bad weather days. So, say we put a calendar 175 and we have
030bad weather days and we have up to 5 days that we can cancel school due to bad weather and not have to make them up and we would still get credit for adsy. Um, but as far as we can we can add those days anywhere. Um, as long as the academic calendar >> can't we add them at the end of the school year and just make them optional? Uh, >> no. It has to be >> like the lead in like the transition period to summer school. >> No, it can't be optional. It has to be in the academic calendar. >> Okay. So we have worked really hard to try our best to provide our teachers with that professional development time. One of our major initiatives is after every district common assessment, we want to make
031sure teachers have a time and space to be able to disagregate that data and create a plan for intervention as necessary. So, one of the things that we're looking at is how do we be more creative with our master schedule is one we're looking at how to streamline across elementary for example of having common planning time not only at one school but across all the schools and then being able to utilize such as Zoom so that we don't pull teachers from their building and we can conduct professional learning [music] using technology. That's something we actually did a couple weeks ago before spring break. We were able to pull our teachers here. Every fourth grade teacher got additional training because we knew that was an area of need. We also have PLC time built in and
032we don't want to take that time away from teachers too often. What we want to do is be able to bring in substitutes and we do this occasionally where we provide teachers with half-day planning so that they can really get ahead of the next unit coming in so that they're prepared well in advance of starting a new unit each 9 weeks. So, we would be very creative to ensure that our teachers still got adequate time to plan and prepare for lessons coming forward. >> I think it's a good idea. I really do. I think that if we're already almost there with just a few days, I don't see why we wouldn't take advantage and be able to get some extra income into the district. Was this discussed at all with uh the teachers administration? Has
033have they had an opportunity to see this potential thing happening? >> So currently they have not seen this model um of the additional school days as we learned about it before we left for spring break and we presented to you all. But we do have principles meeting coming up next week and so we'll definitely be talking to our principles and as always our expectation is when we're having those conversations with our principles they're taking that back to campus teachers to get feedback from them as well. >> So had this been going on for years and we just heard about it? >> It was one of those things where a lot of districts were not aware of it and so many districts were not aware that they uh made that part of the superintendent's call um
034before we got for spring break. So, as soon as Dr. Cardona um got off that call, he called us all in to make sure that we were aware and to get started researching it. >> Uh thank you, President Hollyy. I just want to echo the sentiments of my colleague, Trusty Cantou. I'm optimistic and intrigued by this idea and proposal. I guess my comments related to this are one, yes, I want to hear from the principles. Love our principles. Our principles are great. Um, but whatever outreach we do, I would really like to see that as quickly as possible pushed down to our teachers and parents a as well. I know we did significant outreach for this current calendar, but in addition to that, we did significant outreach for the 4-day proposal that was in front
035of this board about a year or so ago. So, as we transition in a totally different direction and talk about additional school days in the calendar, I want to make sure that our teachers and staff and parents are all on the same page. And then I would be curious, I understand by the the funding model that was included in the board book. I just want to know what that those potential implications could be for like food service, janitorial, facilities, things like that. because obviously those are additional days that we'd be asking those employees to come in, prepare food, etc. So, I just want to make sure that we take all of that in as we consider this proposal. But again, I'm intrigued and optimistic about what this could mean for the school district. >> Thank
036you. >> You President, that is the end of the superintendent reports. could have everybody back in the final eight to nine weeks we have left depending on what student you ask which family which side of the board you're on. >> Thank you very much. >> Uh then our next item is academics with the taper report. >> Dr. has the attendance. I apologize. >> We want to make sure we get our our staff out that are here to receive their uh ADA award. So, um, if we can get AP O'Neal up to the front, we actually have Crockett this time. They, >> uh, received the highest ADA for elementary campuses at 94.85 for the month of February. Congratulations. >> I was going to say we didn't even really get to have it for long. [laughter] >>
037Well, you still have a couple words. >> Perfect. Thank you. >> It goes back. >> Yeah. >> Oh, thank [laughter] you. picture in the car. Nice. >> And then uh for Miller, two months in a row, we have a P. And actually, Dr. Young is here, too. Come on up. Uh and they were at 93.24 for the month of February. >> Hold pose. Husband, hold. Wait, one more. >> Yeah, husband needs to take a pose. >> Dr. Dr. Valdez, thank you. I apologize. Good evening, Board of Trustees, President Holly, Dr. Cardona. I am Beth Nash, director of data and accountability, and I'm here to present the annual taper report. So, this is the 2425 annual report, including the taper, which is the Texas Academic Performance Report. Um, I know we're in March of 2026 and
038yes, the years are correct that says 2425, but there are several components of the annual report that are not released until late in December of 2025. And some of the components actually just were released in this spring. So, we've typically done the annual report in February, but this year we pushed it into March because some of the components were not going to be available for the board book if we had done this back in February. So a lot of these components, you've already seen the data presented, but it's been isolated in different presentations. So this annual report just simply brings all the data, puts it together into one presentation. Um the PDF all combined is 1,500 pages of information. So the actual presentation of it all printed out is not in your board books. If
039anyone wants a printed copy, I am happy to run off that for you to physically, but it is not in your books. Um they're not physically printed at the campuses but digitally they are available. It's already on our website. Um but once again the majority of this information has already been covered in previous presentations. These are the contents every year um per Texas education code. We have the 2425 taper reports financial reports from the 2324. We have the district accreditation status from 2324. A review of the campus performance objectives. Those are essentially just your campus um improvement plans. We have the report on violent or criminal incident on campuses. That is something that's new. We have our student performance and post-secondary institutions, progress towards your house bill 3 goals and your taper glossery. If anyone
040wants the direct link on where to locate all of this on our website, it is located right there, smcis.net/acountability. So, first and foremost is the taper section. Um it is compiled by TEA for every district. It was released right before we left for Christmas. We receive it for the district. It's about 35 pages at the district level. And this each campus has their own taper report as well. At the at the campus level, it's between 25 and 30 pages. Um, and it's compiled from the PES and through Texas assessment data. Um, and it's I mean, you can get as granular in the data as you want. So, if you really want to nerd out the data, by all means, knock yourself out. It has every single piece of data information comparing this year to last
041year or in some of those lagging indicators. It's the two prior years. The cover page this year does include accountability since ratings were finally released. It's just the letter grade though, so it's not the numeric. And it um does have that for the district and the campus level. It includes the special ed determination status at the district level. um if we didn't give the ASVAB test that would be notated but since we do give the ASVAB there's not it doesn't show that and then for each of the district and the campuses it shows the different distinction designations that were earned for the 2025 school year as a reminder eight of our 10 campuses that were eligible earned those. So we're very excited those are actually printed this year um with litigation previously those were not
042listed. um main sections of the taper. You can see here it is extremely detailed. Like I mentioned earlier, um we're not going to go in detail on all of these sections. We would be here for several hours if I did that. But some highlights to share. This is across all grades, all subjects, both STAR and EOC. Comparing last year, the 24 school year to the 25 school year. You can see as a district we are showing growth across all grades, all subjects at approaches and meets and masters. So we are certainly trending in the right direction. Looking specifically at bilingual education and English as a second language, they're also trending in the right direction. And a certain area to highlight if you look at math specifically for this group of students, they actually outperform the
043district. So ex there are extreme gains being made here. And these are our students in bilingual education. So it's not just our students who are our students from our Spanish speaking homes, but our English students who are in that dual language program. So there is monumental gains being made in that dual language program as well. So our our multilingual program is doing a lot of work with these students and it's really showing right now. Our attendance rate, while that 90.6 up to a 93.2 may not look like it's that much, for the course of a one-year improvement, that is a huge jump for [music] attendance. And then chronic absenteeism to have that much of a decline. That's another really solid win for the district. Looking at our CCMR, you have first the overall improvement of
044a 55.2 up to a 70.5. And then the next chart breaks it down between the college ready graduates versus career in military. So you can see really where did those improvements come from? And you can see overall the improvements are coming from the college ready graduates. So our our career in military are staying similar but still have improvements. So a lot of our improvements are coming from that college ready side that are they TSI ready through ACT through SAT through the dual credit through AP through their associates degrees. So once again I could go on and on about the data in the paper. I'm not going to but it is there. The next section is the PIN's financial standards reports. This is based on the 20 23 24 school year. Um this shows you the
045breakdown of how did the district spend money based um revenue expenditures, dispersements, tax rates and fund balance and then for each campus what were their expenditures by object function and program expenditures. So once again very detailed data from the financials. Mr. Alvarez, I'm sure can go in much more detail on this than I can, but the information is there. And then the accreditation status for the 23 24 school year. This is the most rec recent year that this information is available. You'll see there are four levels for which this information is available and we are accredited which is the highest level available. Campus performance objectives. This refers to the campus improvements plans that every year um academics brings to the board in either October or November for approval and then throughout the year campuses refer
046back to them to check in to see how they're doing. Um essentially just this is just a reminder of what goes into the campus improvement plans. So, as part of um the website, it has all of the completed campus improvement plans on the website showing what all happened throughout the year. So, this is just what happens with them after the fact. Report on violent or criminal incidents on campuses. This is something you have not seen this before. Um TEA does track a very specific list of violent and criminal incidents that have to be reported. There's a pretty extensive list of what we have to look at. I'm not going to read them all out to you, but there are some pretty eye-opening things that do happen unfortunately on campuses. Um, and if the number of
047students per incident type is less than five, the information is masked per fura. And as you will see, all of our information is masked due to furpa. So you can take away that it was less than five students and our only one that we have is felony controlled substance. So once again, I'd rather this be completely blank, but you know, as positive as they can be. Student performance in post-secary institutions. This is a report that's through the Texas higher ed coordinating board. And this is based on the 23 24 high school graduates tracking their first year in college, their fall, the spring, their summer, looking at their GPA, and it's looking at students who attended public four-year or two-year institutions in Texas only. This is an area where there's been a lot of questions over
048the past at the annual report because it doesn't track our kids that go straight to the workforce with their certifications through our our CTE pathways. This doesn't track our kids who go to public universities or who go out of state. This doesn't track our military kids. This doesn't track our kids who go to trade schools. Um, but looking at the students that we have, here's how San Marcus fared. Um, I did speak with the Gear Up coordinators and for the class of 23 24, we had 21 students who indicated they were going to go out of state. We had 12 students who said they were going to go to military [music] and another 31 students who had indicated they were planning to go to trade schools. in addition to the data data. So those would
049be students out of that 338 not found that would have come from that information. But overall the students who are found you can see how did they fare with their GPA across the different GPA spans progress towards House Bill 3 goals. So these were first adopted in June of 2020 and have not been adjusted since the initial adopting. This is something that we do need to adjust and there is going to be some work following the 2025 legislative session. But the initial goals you can see that were set that were June of 2024 was to get third grade reading at the meets level to 44% third grade math to 46% for meets and then CCMR up to 57% for August of 2024. Um so in June this past June academics presented the um office academics
0502030 strategic plan. Miss Madioski presented this plan and essentially for reading math and CCMR we have yearly targets and these are established by looking at where we were currently and looking at 2030. If we want to be an A district by 2030, where do we need to be? And setting goals that seemed reasonable, knowing that goals are not going to be achieved at a at a set rate every single year, but putting something out there that at a district seemed obtainable. So that's just what we looked at for this year to see are we on track to get to that A as a district for 2030. So for reading we're looking at that 45 for meats for math would be a 40 and CCMR would be a 70. So taking that into consideration you can
051see at third grade reading if the goal is a 45 third grade reading was at a 43 which isn't quite at the goal but it's a considerable jump from a 39 the two years prior. Keep in mind the reading does include the extended constructed response, the short constructed response, all those writing teaks that previously had not been. [snorts] And then in third grade math, you can see they had a considerable jump at the meats level going up nine points at meats. And so they are well above that 40% meets level. And for CCMR, you can see where they have landed. Once again, that's a lagging indicator that they are at that 70% improving from 55 from the year before. So that's where we are currently, but moving forward under the 2025 legislative session, um, new
052goals have to be established. And not just at the at the district level, but at each campus level. We have to establish goals for third grade reading and third grade math at the meets level. Now, we know across our seven elementaryaries, they're all at very different places. Y'all have heard me say that numerous times. So, as an academics team, we need to establish some goals that we we plan to bring to the board to figure out what do the goals need to be and these goals have to be approved annually. And every year the goals will be for 5 years out. So, we are never without goals moving forward. And this is something that under House Bill um 120 and House Bill 2 has established to go along with House Bill 3 now. Okay. So
053really the the new goals for House Bill are for third grade math and third grade reading. These are fairly easy. And then we also have to have goals specifically for the specific groups of domain 3, which is your all student groups. And then each campus is looked at their two lowest race and ethnicities. Um for most of our campuses, it's either Hispanic and white students at elementary or Hispanic and African-American students. And then the high focus group, it's that combination of students who fit into the different student groups of economically disadvantaged students who receive special ed services, our emergent bilingual students or highly mobile students. So those are students who in previous years were in separate student groups. Now under the new accountability system, those are students that go into this [music] one group and
054they don't duplicate across different categories. So they only count once in that for CCMR. However, instead of it just being one overall CCMR goal, we have to have one goal for each component of CCMR. So, we have to have a goal for what is our TSI goal, which includes ACT and SAT and TSI. What is our goal for AP and IB scores? What is our goal for associates degrees? What is our goal for industry based certifications? So there is a a a very big change around the CCMR goal and that one I feel like is obtainable because we have historical data so we know where we've been as a district but the bigger one is that now the state's also requiring goals around annual graduates at 1 3 and 5 years after graduation goals around
055these five areas enrollment rates in post-secary education institutes percentage of graduates who enroll in post-secary education institutes and do not require remedial coursework. The rate of persistence at this post-secary educational institute in each of the first two years. The rate of completion of a post-secary degree certification or other credentiing program and wages earned per statute from the 2025 legislative session. TEA will be providing this but yet we have not heard how that's going to happen. So if anything doesn't get brought before the board when we academics brings you the goals in August it will be this component right here around CCMR because if we don't have the data there is no way we can set goals but the other components um academics will plan to bring goal proposed goals to the board in August annually
056that we would propose for the board's approval and then each year at the annual report would be the the time for which we would provide you an update on how the district is doing for those um progress towards these goals. [snorts] So that is the biggest change for annual report this year. The taper glossery that is included every year. There are a lot of acronyms that are used. Um it tells you the different methodologies. It tells you the list sources for each data point. It's available in English and in Spanish. Um the full report is posted once again. Um it's all in folders. It's all very detailed so you can drill into exactly what you want to see. A paper copy is available upon request and for more information I am your point of contact.
057So please [music] let me know what questions you have. Are there any questions? I think it's a big >> I think it's a big expectation to do some of the futuristic numbers that they expect for us to be able to look at and approve >> especially wages. I mean how do you how do you determine that? I think >> TA is setting big expectations for the school districts. >> That's my personal opinion. >> Yes. Is there any So you said TEA is supposed to be uh giving us this data. Are we okay to say you didn't give us the data, therefore we can't set any goals. There's not going to be any repercussions to us. >> Since this just came out, this last legislative session went into effect in December. It would be for the
058upcoming. >> Okay. >> So we're okay. >> We have a whole Yes, we're and that's why we're we're okay. Yes. No worries. I would not be the school and common collected if we were not. So we will have something in in July and other district or sorry August other districts are in the exact same situation. So it's not just San Marcus and um through different conferences that we go to and um I'm a member of lead forward accountability connect. It's a pretty reoccurring conversation that [music] we have. So we definitely have some different resources to reach out to. >> So when you're saying that y'all are going to work on the goals and then y'all present it to the board and then we have to approve them and what's the deadline for approving them? We
059would bring them to you in the at the August board meeting. >> August. Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Miss Holy. >> Yes. Go ahead. >> If we could go back to the slide in which we talk about the ratings of the school district. I just want to share that although I want us to be realistic, saying that we're setting a goal of 2030 to be a rated school district is quite frankly insufficient for me as a board member. Um, I'm now on my ninth going on 10th year of being up here and that is true of some members of this administration. And so I would just like to emphasize like I'm getting impatient as as a board member and whatever resources we can bring to bear to support y'all's efforts to expedite that timeline. I'm
060very interested um in in supporting that effort and that energy and know that it cannot be a dollar amount or resource amount [music] that prevents us from from getting there. So >> just wanted to kind of share where I am on that slide. >> Thank you. I would also like to make sure that when we are doing the accountability with the CCMR that the numbers that you talked about about students that [music] are attending colleges out of state or um have joined the military, the numbers that we have from our internal reference that we are also incorporating that into this data. I would like us to send it to TA. I'm sure they will disregard it, but but I think that that's important and I think that we should also include that in the data
061that we present on our website. I can certainly add that and update what's posted on the website >> because I think that would change our score if that were counted by the state. >> Right. >> Well, this isn't factored into a score. The Texas Higher Ed coordinating board, >> but that we get a score and then ratings based on CCMR. Anyway, I just think it's important that we that we are telling as full picture as possible. I agree because this this graphic right here is extremely misleading. Yeah. >> And that's why I provided you guys with the verbal information, but I can certainly reframe this graphic that's presented on the website. So, anybody who goes in and sees [clears throat] it themselves will have the information that I shared about the straight >> I understand
062we can't change it in the taper database, [music] but >> correct. Yes. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. [snorts] Okay, the next item on our agenda is the approval of the consent agenda items. The approval of the minutes for the special board meeting on February 12th, 2026, the regular board meeting on February 23rd, 2026, and the special board meeting on March 2nd, 2026, and to consider the approval of budget amendments. Do we have any budget amendments? It's ripen. Yes, we do. There is one in the board book uh for the uh money for uh TASBY. Uh it was insurance recovery money for hell damage. >> Miss Hollyy, I'll make a motion that we approve the consent agenda as presented in our board. >> Motion made. Motion seconded. Any questions? Seeing none, all in favor
063of approval of the consent agenda items? That motion carries 5-0. And the action items this evening are discussion and possible action to initiate the appointment process to fill the existing vacant seat for single member district 2. Um this is something that we discussed extensively at the last meeting and then we discussed it again at our agenda prep. Uh, we have in our board books a proposal that I'm assuming came from Mr. Cruz's office. >> Yes, y'all had asked me to reach out. We reached out to a couple districts that are doing this and so I believe this is actually some of the paperwork comes from Medina Valley who went through this very similar process. >> Cool. >> And they have five single member and two at large as well. And so I think that um
064the application process um asks us to set up a timeline, asks people to complete a letter demonstrating their interest and then providing some short answers pertaining to their experience that's relevant and to why they are interested in serving in this capacity. Um, we had talked about determining whether or not the person would serve until November, which time we'd have a an election concurrent with the general election, or else we would hold for the whole year and do our regular schoolboard member uh elections in May. I'm not sure we have to decide that tonight, but I think um we should open the floor to see if there I will go ahead and make a motion that we approve the application process as recommended by the [music] administration. Second. >> Motion made and seconded by Miss Kaine.
065Um and then invite any questions or discussion or suggestions to um to improve this process if there is any. >> All of that was sent by legal counsel. So I think it's going to be a really easy plan to follow. Then I think if we uh go ahead and approve this this evening that we should talk about the timeline for people to submit an application and we are now on the 23rd of March. And we would like to have I think this appointment made in May when Miss Viao vacates her seat. Um, so it would seem appropriate to me to open it up for the month of April, but I'm open to other people's feelings on that if there are or if the monthly seems enough time. Yes, Mr. [music] Ardondo, >> I agree with
066you, President Holy. I don't know if it's realistic if we say like a month from today's board meeting to which time we would essentially have like 30 days to receive applications. I guess the expectation would be that those applications would be collated as they're received. We could receive them at our [music] April board meeting and then discuss at that point in time either interviews, follow-ups a timeline for that decision, seeing as how theoretically we would need to have somebody appointed by what is it May 18th, whatever that regular board meeting is where we would swear in Miss Vapondo successor. >> Yes. But I'm open to I guess just off the top of my head, that's kind of the foggy proposal I have. >> No, that makes sense. And I think um if we're going to
067approve the materials as presented, we could probably put the posting out on Wednesday, which if it went out on March 25th, um and then was open until April 13th, um or April 10th, because the 13th is the day that the board book gets put together for us. [music] Then we would have the materials in the board book. Those would all be publicly available with the posting of the board book and we could consider them at the next meeting. >> If I recall correctly, we had the there 18th is not a hard deadline [music] to appoint. We had from the time of the term the turnover of district 2's seat. uh there was a approximate I can't remember if it was 90 to 120 days that we had to a point. So I don't necessarily feel
068like we have to rush [music] that process if we can make it a month if we can make it 6 weeks um just to make sure that we have enough time but I don't think I don't I don't know that I'm comfortable designating the 18th as a hard deadline to make that um decision and have somebody sworn in at that time if we have the time to actually evaluate a little bit further. I don't think we need to rush it, but I think ideally it would be great to have that new board member come in when Mrs. Popondo exits and also be here in with enough time to uh participate in SLI. >> Um I think that [music] that updated training would be helpful for whomever it is. >> Absolutely. I agree. just want to
069make sure that it's not like I mean unfortunately the process is what the process is and it didn't draw a whole lot of [music] um interest and so I'm just wanting to make sure that if if it's I just don't want to rush the position if that's [music] not necessary I'm fine with that that time I just don't know that I'm ready to say oh yeah I want that to be the hard date [music] that it has to happen >> um I want to leave that little bit of breathing room in the event that there's you know we can't come to a a decision or there's extra questions. I just don't know that I'm ready to say that deadline has to be met. >> I I just don't know that it's >> depending on what
070goes in a hard deadline, >> but I agree with with President that we need to have that first go to SLI and that's going to be in June. I don't have a date on this whole thing. I'm >> getting the queue again. >> It's usually the second week in Juneish. So there's not between that and graduation and >> all of that. Mr. Arondo, you had a comment. >> Yeah, thank you, President Hollyy. I agree with uh Trusty Lopez. I guess conversely, my concern is, you know, we had this open since early January, right, for just regular filing and nobody filed and that was, [music] you know, several months, right? So I hope that same challenge doesn't occur as we look for a potential appointment. I assume it will not because I think the lack of
071an applicant to run and the lack of a district trustee for that single member district has created some conversation in the community. I would add I guess my suggestion was if if we post today or if we approve today and we post it for 30 days it gives us an opportunity to visit those applications at our next board meeting. But we very well could say at that time we want to leave it open for another 30 days. However, then I would then be concerned that leaving it open for 30 days and if there's two or three applicants and we say uh we're going to keep it open also gives a sign to those three applicants like we don't want them either, right? So, I guess for me it's if we set a date, hopefully we
072get some applicants and if they're great, they're great. If not, I guess we cross that bridge when we get there. But I agree with the sentiment. [music] It'd be nice to have them seated so that they can participate in all of the endofear transitional things that new board members participate in. But I'm cool with with whatever. Even again, if it's coming back in 30 days and saying, "Uh, let's keep it open." Um, I can do that, too. >> You're flexible. >> Yeah. >> And and that's and I think that that's all I'm asking for is that flexibility. So, I'm I'm I'm perfectly fine with that. >> That makes sense to me. Then, um, then I think by that token, what if we ask Miss Gunther to make the posting by on this Wednesday, which is
073March 25th? And, uh, the thing that's a little bit messed up is because we are having this meeting late in the month because of spring break. Yeah. Um, >> if we want to keep it open for a full at least 3 weeks before our meeting on the 20th of April, then I'd suggest that we make the deadline on April 15th, the initial deadline um for consideration, April 15th. And then the board just will need to be a little flexible in making in making time to be able to review those before the meeting on the 20th. and they will not be in the board book, but they could still be posted online with the public materials. >> Miss Hollyy. >> Yeah. >> I guess in that same vein, if we didn't set a hard deadline for
074application submissions, it could just be [music] like a job posting, right? Like the first review of interested applicants will be X date and then I'll judge you if you turned it in after that date that it's going to be in the board book. Right. So again, I guess we could leave it open. Yeah, it's our process. So, we can do what we want to, right? I just I would like at least a little time before the meeting to eval to be able to review the applications and >> and I guess my thought process there is >> if the first posted deadline is if you want to be reviewed by the April board meeting, you need to have it submitted to the district by X date >> because that's going to be the first batch of
075applicants that we review if there are any. So, >> that makes sense. And I think um our administration and communications team did a good job in in getting this into the newspaper so that it has been publicized and if we can get it into the newspaper again that the application is pro is open and put it up on social media then um hopefully we get some people who are interested and willing to take on the challenge. All right. Uh then is there uh we have a motion and a second. any other conversation, consideration, discussion >> just to the application, >> right? Yeah. >> To approve the application as presented and go ahead and post it from um March 25th through April 15th with the idea that we will review and take an initial review with
076an April meeting on the 20th. So the application as presented has TBD um serve until date and a place on the particular ballot. Can we leave those as TBD or do we need to vote on that piece tonight as well? >> I think we can leave it TBD. >> We could change it to future will serve until >> I think we should discuss it. I mean I think we should make a decision before the person is appointed. I think that's not fair to the person to not make that determination in April. >> Can we make that change in this then that says they will serve until I mean I'm happy to go ahead and do it tonight too. I don't >> I'm fine making that decision tonight. I think we've we've known about it. I
077said this before and I still feel pretty strongly I think that it's fair to put them in for a year and let them serve the full year and be up for the regular election cycle. It would seem odd to me to make an exception of one person who is coming in in this kind of capacity to put them into the November election when everybody else is in May. But >> I agree. I'm fine with a year. >> I agree. I understand. >> I'm cool. Change my mind. You have to address me. [laughter] Um, so we can all agree on May 2027. Is there interest for my colleagues to include a question asking if they're interested in running for the full term when they apply? >> Cuz I guess I would be interested if someone is
078like, I just want the year versus uh I plan on running for reelection [music] when that appointment is up. Right. I think it's a good part of your question. >> It's a good question to ask, but I think it also takes I think the expectation when wanting to serve and then actually getting behind this bench and doing it is is two very different things. And I think giving them that time to decide this is really something for [music] them. >> Could it be one of the open-ended questions at the end like 15 16 17 like if appointed >> would you >> do you have plans on running for the full term? If not, that's okay. Like, I guess I'm curious to understand where their thought process is because if we do interviews, I'm gonna ask
079them that question anyway. So, they're gonna be put on the spot regardless. But anyway, just curious if my colleagues >> I'm fine with it being an open-ended question at the end. But it's >> you get a year and then you can decide. >> I'm also fine with just [music] asking them that question >> in person. >> When the time comes, they'll have seen it on the application. We've said it out loud. >> Mr. Mclofflin, we are um we have a motion on the table to approve the um application materials for the appointed position as presented by the district except now we are discuss and we have agreed um up here that we are going to appoint the position for a year. So the person would be up for election next May. Um and we are
080trying to hopefully have this process uh come to a conclusion in May so that they can attend SLI in June and serve that full year. So we are talking about having the application process go from March 25th which is this Wednesday until uh April 15th which is 3 weeks from Wednesday and we will reconsider we consider the submissions at that point in the April meeting. Um, there's now been a question made about whether we can add a question to the application process. Um, asking for somebody to asking for the applicant to demonstrate whether or not they're interested in the longer term position. >> Thank you. I did listen on the stream on the way in. So, I'm pretty caught up. Even heard the taper and all this stuff. So, I'm ready to go and um
081vote on this motion when it's when you call for it. So it seems to me then that maybe we would just leave that question for the interview process unless >> Okay, that's cool. >> Please build strongly. Okay, any other questions, suggestions? If not, all in favor of the motion that's on the table, raise your hand. Opposed abstaining. Mondo, are you abstaining? You did. Oh, I'm sorry. That motion carries 70. Thank you. The next item is the consideration of possible action to accept the changes to the Slack challenge form. >> Miss Hollyy, I'll make a motion that we approve the proposed changes to the library materials challenge form. >> I'll second that. Motion made a motion seconded. Are there any questions for Miss Magowski? It's my understanding that this is just based on feedback from the
082parent committee that we appointed. >> I don't need like the full presentation. >> Correct. They just wanted a little bit more information in addition [music] to the uh kind of screen grabs that were attached. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And this information is also all publicly available on the website will be yes. Any other questions? Seeing none. All in favor of the motion, please raise your hand. Opposed. That motion also carries 70. The next item is item for operations. Consider approval of city of San Marcus's detention water quality inspection access easement at Owen Goodn Night Middle School. >> Miss Hollyy, I'll make a motion that we approve the city of San Marcus's detention water quality inspection access easement at Owen Goodn Night Middle School. >> Second. >> Motion made and seconded. Arerodondo and Miss Kane.
083Any questions? All in favor, please raise your hand. Opposed? None. That motion is 70. Next item is for procurement consideration and possible action regarding the approval of awarded contracts for safety and security services. >> Miss Halls, you'll make a motion that we approve the awarded contract for safety and security services as presented in our report book. I will second that motion. Motion made and seconded. Any questions? >> Yes. >> Go ahead. >> Give me one second to catch up. >> This is the same vendor as since 2022. Is that correct? >> Uh no sir. This is a uh the vendor that we are um putting forth is a is a different vendor than what we've worked with. >> Okay. I didn't see I just see the single page. Um did was the contract included in
084did has someone else seen that or we're just approving this based on the paragraph summary. >> So we we have not um put forward a contract with this vendor. This is just approval if we can um if you will allow the superintendent to allow us to execute a contract with this vendor. >> Okay. And what did we spend on this contract with the prior vendor in the last fiscal [music] year? >> Do you know that? >> Okay. Uh we don't have the that value um in front of us. >> I guess I mean I'm I'm okay like with some sort of cap. I just don't want some open-ended assignment. So, if we can approve it at at or below what we paid in the year prior, I'd be comfortable. But without knowing more, I can't
085just, you know, go off of this. >> What we did put in our bid package for them to submit were uh daily rates. And so, we looked at um the daily rates that that we have in place. Okay. >> Um and they they were the last contract we had was in 2022. So, we um we felt it was time to to kind of take a look and see if if there were any adjustments that needed to be made. And I believe there were several um vendors that submitted um that Mr. Cleveland had a committee review. I see >> and look at. So, um you know, we didn't put a cap on um we can pay up to X amount. It's more of just um we have this uh the security services mainly for our um
086athletic events, our extracurricular events, um board meetings, things of of those natures that we normally don't have um our school marshals or SRO's um during the school day. >> And does this revenue-wise does this come out of uh like gate receipts or does it come out of our budget? >> This will come out of of funds mainly from our school safety aotment. And how many people bid or companies? >> A number of >> 12. Oh, >> that's a lot. >> And where is this Syntax Safety [music] Solutions located primarily? >> Uh, Syntax Safety Solutions is based out of San Marcos, Texas. >> Oh, yeah. >> And and the district has the district done business with them before? >> Uh, no sir. We have not previously done businesses with them, but based on the parameters we
087set, they were the safety solution that met the needs of our district as far as ensuring security for our [music] events and our campuses as needed. >> Okay. Thanks for the answers. >> Yes, sir. >> Um I'm fine with what they've [music] as proposed >> rather than the amendment. >> Just Well, now that Mr. Mclofflin asked a couple of questions. I just want to clarify based on my understanding of and why I was supportive of this motion. This is like everything but the school marshals and SRO on our campuses, right? So when I go to like a football game or an extracurricular event or really like anything that is not K12 school day when we have security professionals that service this is any event that falls outside of the agreed on hours of our uh
088school resource officer contract in which we have a uh commissioned law enforcement officer present.
