001Oh, there's [Laughter] everybody. There you go. Okay. [Music] Congratulations. Good job. Good job. [Applause] [Music] Luna. Oh, okay. Lots of metal. Okay, moving on to our next presentation on attendance award. Superintendent. Mr. Board President, the district continues to work on improving our attendance with the attendance report for March. We have Miss Kina Sanchez. Good evening, Miss Sanchez. Welcome. Good evening, board president, board of trustees, Superintendent Amidz, Southside community, and staff. This evening, we're recognizing the fifth six weeks attendance winners. Uh, but first, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of our campuses because every campus did exceptionally well this fifth six weeks. Each of our campuses managed to increase their attendance percentage by over 1% um for the fifth six weeks. So, great job. Um, I know that this is a testament to

002your hard work. Thank you very much. So, our first winner is Freedom Elementary School. Congratulations, Freedom. All right. I know. I made it a surprise. And our secondary winner is L Soya Middle School. Congratulations, Loya. [Applause] Wow, big improvements. Not strong enough for this guy. Sorry. What was the driver? Incentives. Okay. Stand up. Thank you. I'm sorry. Great job. Congratulations. [Applause] Okay. Uh, next item we'll move on to the an annual announcement of the continuing education for our board of trustees. So if you give me one second. All right. So for item C and under the state board of education rule completing required continuing education each year of service is a basic obligation and expectation of any sitting board member. As board president, I am required to announce the name of each member who one

003has completed the required continuing education or has exceeded the required continuing education and is deficient and or is deficient in meeting the required continuing education. There are eight training areas for board members continuing education. The first one is local district orientation. Second is orientation to the Texas education code. Number three is the post legislative update to the Texas education code. Uh the fourth is team building. The fifth is additional continuing education. Uh the sixth evaluating student academic performance is setting goals. And the seventh identifying and reporting abuse tracking and other maltreatment of children. And last but not least is school safety. So I'm happy to report uh that all trustees have completed all of their training hours. Uh no one is deficient and each board trustee has exceeded the required continuing education hours. Uh the

004number of CEC hours or continuing education hours for each trustee are for myself Jesse Hernandez 16.5 hours, Mrs. Faras 13.5, Mrs. Solivarees 9 hours. Mrs. Morales Garcia 8 hours. Mrs. Lisa O Salazar 10.5 hours. Mrs. Marie Silva 21.5 hours. And leading the pack, Mrs. Arroles at 66.5 hours. So, just want to take a minute of personal privilege and thank all my colleagues on the board. I know takes a lot of time, a lot of uh work and I know Miss Sanger has been very very busy. So, um, thank you for your service and appreciate everything y'all are doing. So, um, happy to to report, um, that we're all complete on our board training hours for the 2024 2025 school year. [Applause] All right. Um, so next, uh, we'll move on to item D, which is

005the review of financial statements for March 2025. Superintendent. So, board president, to give an update on the finances for March, we have Mr. Kales. Welcome again, Mr. Kales. Good evening. Again, quickly going through the financials for March. One thing I want to I want to go back over is is, you know, we we see from the first column there on the annual annual budget of $71 million on the revenue side. That's that 5,000 number. on that first column. We've we've already mentioned I keep stressing that we that's going to be a tough number to hit this year, especially with the fact, you know, we found out later, you know, the SHs was one thing where we expected SHs to come in there. There's all kinds of issues with the SHs funding. Um that that SHs

006funding will not come in. So, we we know it's going to be difficult to to hit that 71 based off what we budgeted versus what we know is going to be an actual. Um and and we've also adopted we moved to a deficit budget now by the additional $566,000 u due to the one time uh pay stipens we did and the repair of the track. I I think it's not surprising to run into a deficit. Um we had we were been cons very conservative for a few years. Um we added 3.2 million to the budget last year which kind of freed us up to actually spend some money in this year knowing where we had finished last year. So, it's not it's not that shocking to see it, you know, that actually take place for

007that for those reasons. Um, also because things were so tight, there's not a lot of money to move around to actually work within the budget, say, "Oh, well, maybe we can move here, move here." Everything is just very very restrictive right now due to the fact that we haven't seen an increase in funding. So, um, I just kind of want to remind everybody kind of that our our goal is still to try to stay as conservative as we can possibly be and stay whatever our revenue number comes in, that's where we're trying to keep our expenditures to. So if it's 69 million, if it's 70 million, um we're doing everything we can to be as conservative as we can with spending still. Um we started out the year um averaging a lot higher amount on

008an average basis, but that's that's expected because we have school starting up. Um we for for January, February, and March though we were able to a January we spent 5.2 million. um February 5.9 and then March was 5.1 million. So we're getting that number down and and that's intentional. So on a monthly basis we're trying to spend less and less money um if if and where possible um to get that number once again as low as possible and knowing that our budgeted revenue is is going to be very very difficult to reach. On the food service side, um, one thing I'll point out here is this time of year right now, we we have the 5.6 million in revenue on the actual side and the 5.3 million. Um, it it's very typical on a food

009service program to see higher revenues at this point, especially as we're getting closer and closer to the end of school year because payroll is such a large percentage of that budget. And so we we stop re generating revenue as we stop feeding during the summer or we don't generate quite as much revenue during the summer. Um so we will see our revenue numbers actually decrease on a monthly basis and we still have payroll because salaries are annualized. Everybody receives um a monthly amount consistently. So um exceeding that by a little bit right now about $300,000. So that's good. That's expected. Um, once again, if we do go over, that was planned due to the fact that we had such a high fund balance. And on debt service, our our revenues came in at $8.3 million

010so far. Right now, um, we have $6 million in bond payments this year. So, we we've have an additional $2 million generated revenue at this point. That was by design. If you remember, we adopted the resolution leaving the tax rate at 32 cents at at that amount with the $6 million we had in fund balance. And all this is very very preliminary, but we had $6 million in fund balance last year when we closed the year. And if we add $2 million, then with the resolution the board adopted, that will allow us to defeat or pay off approximately $8 million of debt on on the bond side, which which will be which will be a good thing. So we have some additional money. Um we we I mentioned started mentioning this in January. So we'll

011start working with the financial advisor slowly. But once we have a good number that we know how much we can actually defeat slashpay off early then that's at that point in time we'd bring that stuff that back to the board so we can we can u close out that debt no longer have it. And that's what I have for the budget report. Thank you Mr. Carales. Any questions on the budget overview? Okay. Thank you, sir. Okay. Moving on to new business. Our first item discuss and consider approval of executing an agreement with Viro World Sports Ltd for the purchase of athletic track refers resurfacing at the high school in the amount of $242,455 to include a contingency of $60,613.75 in the total amount of $33,68.75 as requested by the athletics department. Superintendent, Mr. Board President,

012Mr. Garz and coach log will present the recommendation for the track replacement. Good evening gentlemen. Thank you Mr. Hernandez and thank you board members and Mr. Rides and faculty uh staff and members of the community. Uh the purchasing department is requesting the authority to approve and execute an agreement with Viro World Sports Limited uh for the purchase of athletic tracks resurfacing at the high school in the amount of $242,455 to include a contingency as Mr. had stated of 60,613.75 in the comi com combined total amount of $33,68.75. The contingency is to address any unforeseen uh issues during the demolish de demolition of the track. Uh we did receive four proposals uh viro world sports, victory tracks, bayan sports surfaces and helisa construction. The evaluation team individually scored each proposal resulting in viro world sports as

013the highest ranked proposal and the lowest cost proposal as well. I have uh coach Luck here if you have additional questions. Thank you. Um Coach Locker, I do have a question. Um can you talk a little bit about the the scope of the work? Sir, can you talk a little bit about the scope of the work? Well, the to my not when they're going to get started and no what what is all going to get done? I couldn't. What is what what is everything that's going to get done in this job? Oh, it's going well. They have to come in and they have to demolish get rid of scrape up the foundation of the old track and the old surface and then they have to lay the uh the the base down and then come

014over with the cover the top part. Then they have to line it, stripe it, and uh do all the runways. And so you got long jump, triple jump, you got high jump, and uh pova that also is not inside the stadium, it's s it's outside the stadium. So that's part of it, too. So it's uh it's I I did some digging. I think this track is 28 years old uh in around that area. And I'm not sure I was here when that happened. Since I've been here, it's been [Music] patched three times and uh it's much needed. Uh this was a good uh uh as far as the price. This was way hands down the best price we could get for this track. And the quality of work looked really good on the the people

015that have it. Uh I think Panhandle uh High School has it. Laredo Nixon has it on their campus. Uh, Round Rock Junior High has it. There's a lot of people that have it, but the pictures and and what we saw of it and the people we've talked to, I talked to Benny who's the coordinator in Nixon. He was really happy with that track. Um, so it's, you know, I've had it for, I think, four years and he said it's really held up well and and u, but it's a process and it's uh, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's going to take like 30 30 21 days. 21 days from the time they start. I know it was less than 30, but it was so it's it's a it's a very good quick

016turnover when when they start and uh, it's a pretty simple process once they get in there. As far as the problems, I think you're talking about if the foundation, it shouldn't be a problem here because I don't think there's any cracks in the the the bottom foundation, you know, I just think it it just much needed to be relayered and started over for our kids and it's going to be a good thing. It's going to last a long time. So, we're we're excited about getting it and we have our trap meets again. You know, we we always run about four trap meets a year here. So, uh, it's good for our kids and our community to just to be have the v ability to have our own track meets and to stay close. So, uh,

017we're excited about that. So, it's the approximately 25% contingency. That's depend. That's to ensure that there's no foundation issues and that's what that would go towards. Yes, sir. Cuz you know, we say this, but when once you get down in there and start digging, you never know uh what you're going to find. But I I don't foresee a lot of problems. Uh but I think it's a smart move to, you know, do it this way because you never 100% know what's what's there until you dig it up and and scrape it. And if they do want to tap into the contingency, I'm assuming someone's going to go validate that that's necessary or Yeah. Okay. Um, the only other thing I I'm sure does need to be mentioned, but everything's going to be regulation size. I

018know there was a school district not too long ago that had a new track build and it wasn't quite regulation and so now they can't even run events. Our foundation is it's an eight lane track. Really, it's collegiate track, but it's high school collegiate. So, ours is ours is good to go. Just needs to be redone and resurfaced, but it's it's it's regulation size. It's not a seven lane, it's an eight lane. Okay. Then my my last question um in regards to maintenance of it, how is it going to be maintained by who and how do we ensure that we have it last as long as we need it to last? Well, we keep that, you know, we we uh when I first came here 11 years ago, the community used that track all the

019time to walk it. And then at some point it got at some point it got bad enough where we had to lock the gates and say we can walk the campus or walk Matthew or walk you know something else because this track was getting worn out and uh we we knew there was a lot of use on it because we two junior highs and a and a high school that's a lot of use especially during the spring. Uh but the maintenance of it uh keeping keeping people off of it except for student athletes, you know, and practices and keeping people from running over with the four-wheelers and things like laying uh mats down when you do cross, you know, and and doing those kinds of things will only help with the maintenance of this track.

020Okay. And we did negotiate a longer term warranty. Okay. Yes, sir. How how long is that warranty? It was sufficient four years, but I negotiated up to seven years. That's that's pretty that's really good. Seven years in this day. That's full turnkey all-incclusive. Great. Any other questions? I'm sorry. Go ahead. The maintenance people that are doing the maintenance on the football field, they will have a pad or something where they can go through. Yes, we do. We we uh we have uh well they go back under maintenance down but they were facilities were they're still there the one the main guy that has run the facilities and taken care of them. He's still within our school district. So he's been doing it and knows exactly what we're going to do and how we're going to

021do it and and u he does a good job with it. So, uh, we know we just got to get to facilities and take care of them, you know, and I know it's kind of hard to limit people that that to get on that, but you know, you got to take care of your your facilities, you know, and and I just think that's that's the right thing to do. Okay, Mr. Salazar. So, Coach Lock, why are why was this not brought to us back when we were doing the football fields? Why why why wasn't this part of that package as well? So, well, I thought it was it was mentioned uh the the the track at that time the track was not as bad as it in the last year. The T track has just

022deteriorated for some reason. It just got worse and worse and worse and and it got to the point we couldn't patch it anymore. But it was mentioned, but we we the the liability issue for the for the turf was a huge issue and uh you know, but uh it was you want to address that, Mr. Ramirez? No, I I want to hear from him, please. Ma'am, so I want to hear from you. From me? Mhm. Uh it was brought up. I mean, we talked about it, but uh we focused on the on that turf because it was so bad. it was head injuries and there's so many things that can happen uh in that regard liabilitywise. Uh but you're you you just said that the track was the same way as a turf. So I

023mean I I I just don't understand like the timing of it, right? So because to me it would have been easier for everybody just to do it as a whole and get it done. What is track? So in it, when was the last track meet you all held on our turf on our school? Two years. Ma'am, how long ago had last year? You had track meets last year. We had track We had four track three track meets last year. Not this in 2024. I thought it was three years. No, we had No, no, we had track meets on the trip. Yes, sir. Mr. So on on the expense part, it was intentional uh because of the large expense and because we were using our local funds to pay for it. So there it was my

024decision that uh it was brought to the board in in two separate phases. We didn't want the entire expense to to be in one. So because of that, I know that you know we had the football season that we had to contend with the track. we could find other places where the kids could practice and and run and so nobody would get hurt. So, so I it was brought to my attention that both needed uh to to to be redone. So, I figured to bring it to the board in two different phases. One with the football field first because of the football season and nobody getting hurt and then the tracks because local funds were going to be used for both expenses. Okay. Any other questions? No. Okay. Thank you. Okay. At this time, do

025I have a motion for uh item A on the new business? I'll make a motion to approve the execution of an agreement with Burba Voral Sports Ltd and the total amount of 303,000 uh 6875. I'll second it that. Okay. Two seconds. Okay. Miss Vas. Yes. Solivarees. Yes. Manales Garcia. Yes. Miss Salazar. I'm going to abstain. Thank you, Miss Silva. Yeah. Yes. Uh Mrs. Angles, yes. Yes. Motion carries. Okay. Okay. We're moving on to our our next item which is discuss and consider approval of the board quarterly evaluation. Okay. If our guest uh in attendance today and that those that may be watching online recall, it's been about um 3 months since we had our our last uh board evaluation. So, we have made a commitment to um do this on a quarterly basis. So, wanted

026to go through through that today uh with the board. Okay. Uh if we can go to the first one there. Thank you very much. Uh the first one is uh the first goal is on the board has adopted student outcomes. Uh which is a vision and get vision and goals one. uh back in January 15, 2025, which was the last time that we did that, uh we had a total of 12, which was meat focus. Um so if we go ahead and read that for for meat's focus, all board members and the superintendent agree that the student outcome goals would would challenge the organization, require adult behavior change, are influencable by the superintendent, and are the superintendent's first priority uh for resource allocation. And lastly, the board relied on a root cause analysis comprehensive student

027needs assessment or similar researchbased tool to inform the identification and prioritization of all student outcomes goals. So we had that um uh the last time to to move into uh master's focus the board master's focus if all prior conditions and the following are true. All board members and and the superintendent have committed uh the vision and student out have committed the vision and student outcome goals to memory. Um know the current status of each student outcome goal and last agree there is broad uh community ownership of the board's vision and student outcome goals through involvement and communication with student staff and community members. Any uh comments from my colleagues? Any thoughts on where we should be at, remain or move up or down? So, I will I will add that um over the last uh

028since the last quarter um there's been several community meetings and so um we myself and and colleagues on the board have have made a um I' I've asked superintendent to to add a board section to every community meeting. So the committee meeting will will have will have that uh and has had that for gosh the last four or five meetings or four meetings maybe. Yes sir. Uh where where a trustee leads that conversation at the community level. And so we'll continue to have that and and u it's an opportunity for the community to to engage with with ourselves with with us uh and have dialogue and for us to al also share from our perspective and our point of view of what's going on uh at the board level as well. So we'll continue to

029do that and we'll do a lot uh continue sharing with the with the community as well. Uh and then you might have noticed uh in the agendas as well uh we are now also covering the mission and the vision as part of of the the welcome and introduction and so that was uh per purposeful as well. Um so you you'll you might have noticed some of those changes as well. With that said, um, in regards to having committed the vision and student outcome goes to memory, what's that? I mean, we're seeing it. We're seeing it everywhere and it's out here in the community. I would that's there with that one. Anybody else? I don't think we all have memorized that. I think that's what the goal is is that you've seen enough to memorize it.

030I feel like we just implemented it. So, we need a little bit more time. Yeah. Okay. We're moving in the right direction. Yeah. So, so we'll we'll stay at at a 12. That we'll be there soon. And so, our we'll stay at a 12 there and then our next quarter target will be to get to that uh 15. Is that fair? Yes. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Moving on to vision and goals too. The board has adopted goal progress measures or GPMS aligned to each student outcome goal. Uh during the last evaluation, we were at a 12 which just to review that the board meets focus if all conditions and the following are true. All board members and the superintendent agree that the goal progress measures will challenge the organization require adult behavior change are

031influencable by the superintendent and are all predictive of their respective student outcome goals. Uh moving to masters uh for the 15 points the board masters focus if all prior conditions for the 12 are met and are true plus all board members and the superintendent agree there is broad community ownership of the growth progress measures through involvement and communication with students staff and community community members. So, um, for this one, um, I know I've been to a couple of the committee meeting meetings, and I know we we've, uh, we've, uh, uh, shared that in conversations that happened pretty thoroughly. So, I'm I'm pretty comfortable that we're we're there and that we've we've met that. I agree. Um, so I would like to move us to 15. Yes. Are we in agreement? Yes. Okay. Even in the

032code, y'all were out there presenting the goals. So it was very cold. All right. So our next quarter target will be to remain there at the top. Okay. Uh moving on to uh number three vision and goals three. The board has adopted uh constraints. Uh the last time we were at A9 which was meat focus and that is the board has adopted one to five board self- constraints. The board where appropriately relied on a root cause analysis, comprehensive student assessment or similar research tool to inform the identification and prioritization of the superintendent constraints. All board members and the superintendent agree that the constraints would challenge the organization to focus on the vision and uphold community values. Uh moving to focus or 10 points, the board master focus if all prior conditions and the following are

033true. The board in collaboration with the superintendent has adopted one or more theories of action to drive overall strategic direction. Uh all board members and the superintendent there is broad community ownership of the constraints through involvement and communication with students, staff and and community members. Okay. Thoughts on um number three? I think from our our last conversation, we still had some work to do on the theory of of u of action. Yeah. Yeah. We in agreement. So, we'll stay at a nine. Is that fair? Mhm. Yes. Okay. And our next target will be 10. Okay. Uh moving on to number four. Uh the board has adopted superintendent constraint progress measures or CPMs. Uh we were at a meets before uh where the board will challenge the organization to focus on the vision will challenge the

034organization to uphold community values are all predictive of their respective constraint and are influencable by the superintendent. uh to move to masters. Um we need to hold that plus all board members and superintendent agree there is broad community ownership of the superintendent um progress measures through involvement and communication with students, staff and community members. So again, this one I think uh very very similar to to the heavy community engagement. I think we've done that. I think we made a concerted effort to push that through. So I think we're at a point where we can move to five for masters. Agree. Agree there. Y good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Moving on to progress and accountability. Number one, the board invests at least half of its time to improving student outcomes. Uh so for for for meat's focus

03525% or more of the total quarter minutes in board authorized public meetings were invested by in improving student outcomes according to the time use tracker. Uh to move to the master's focus 50% or more of the total quarterly minutes in board authorized public meetings were invested in improving student outcomes according to the time use tracker. I don't know we we don't have the time use tracker yet. We're I think the last time I checked we're 30 something I think is what I had. So I think we still have a little bit of more more work to do there. So yes and then that one's straight data. So okay uh moving on to number two. Um the board evaluates but does not interfere with progress towards improving student outcomes. Uh the last time we were at

036a two which is approaches focus and for that the board performed self-eal evaluations using the low star governance integrity instrument perform a self- evaluation no more than 45 days prior to the most recent superintendent evaluation and evaluates the superintendent in part in the results and progress towards the student outcome goals and constraints using information within monitoring reports according to the monitoring calendar. to move to meet focus. The board receives at least annually report on the average cost of sta staff time spent on the governance using the staff use tracker. Uh one quarter ago the board performed a long story governance in evaluation using the integrity instrument and voted to approve the quarterly progress tracker. So um I think we're still we're still at a two I think four. So we we we were at a

037two we we did the um the evaluation we did that and we also did the quarterly progress tracker. Um did we we saw the staff use tracker time use tracker last quarter? It's annually and so the next one would be January of 2026. Janu Okay. Okay. So we'll stay at two then. Okay. So for this one we'll probably be at two for a while. That's right. Right, Mr. L until it until it changes. Okay. Uh, next item, systems and processes. The port operates in a way that allows the superintendent to accomplish division. Uh, we were at a 12 which was meat focus. Uh for that the board authorized public meetings in the last quarter uh did not exceed an average of four uh meetings per month, an average of three hours per meeting and an

038average of five um action items topics per meeting and the board has reviewed it existing local policies and only adopted local policies pertaining to board work. So we approve those in the last consent agenda. Mr. L, is that right? So we we're still there. If we want to move up to the M's level, uh the board authorized public meetings in the last quarter did not exceed an average of three meetings per month, an average of two hours per meeting, an average of three other topics per meeting. Uh board members receive the final materials to be voted on at least seven calendar days before the public meeting. uh and no edits to the board's regularly scheduled meeting agenda in the three days prior to or during the meeting unless a state of emergency was declared. I

039think we still have a little bit of work to do there um for for us to move to the 15. I agree. Are we in agreement? Okay. Okay. Uh next item is the advocacy and engagement that promote the board promotes the vision. Uh we were at a one which was preparing to focus. The board has a two-way communication system in place where the board members at least once per year listen for and discuss the vision and values of their students and listen for and discuss the vision and values of their staff and community members. Uh to move to approaches the board has provided time during the regular schedule board authorized public meetings to recognize the accomplishments of its students and staff regarding progress on student outcomes and goals. uh hosted a committee meeting to discuss

040progress or student outcomes and goals within each feeder pattern with low performing campuses during the previous 12 month. Um so that second uh bullet have we done every feeder pattern in in the community meetings Dina? I think we Yes, we did right. Yes. So the burger place so everybody gets invited. So yeah. Okay. Oh yeah. Okay. And so that would be for approaches and for meets displays and keeps update updated the status and targets of all student outcome goals and and uh growth progress measures permanently and probably in the room in which the board most frequently holds regular scheduled board meetings. has led or coed at least one training on lowar governments for its community during the previous six months. So have not done that. So I think we still have some work to do

041there. Say again. No three. Uh no three. Are we in agreement with three? Three. Salazar. Yeah that's Miss Silva. Are are you in agreement with three? So, so a question for for my colleagues on on the second bullet for for three, is that meant for for the board or or for for um staff question. So just me I I take it like uh you you we held the meeting at where the struggling campus is set. Uh but we do an invite for all the the administration are required to bring a rep a parent representative to the meeting. So, it's all encompassing. It's not just one meeting for one campus. Yeah. But we've been at every location. No. Understood. My my my uh question is should should the conversation be driven by staff or the board

042for us to get credit on this one? I think this one the board. Okay. So, have we done that? Not in a total period, right? So, I would say we stay at one. Okay. Is that fair? I agree. Okay. Just being a little self-critical there. So, um okay. Uh moving moving on to uh synergy and teamwork. The board works collaboratively and with the superintendent to lead the tour division. Uh we were at a 10 uh last time and so uh the board and the superintendent have completed the lowstone government's workshop which we've done. Agree that all board members have adhered to all adopted board constraints during the previous three months which we did. Uh agree that no board member has given operational advisor instructions to staff members during the previous three months. So I will

043ask each of y'all uh to to agree that you have not given operational advisor instruction to staff members during the previous three months. This is Monas Garcia. Yes or no? No. Wait, what?
