I'M AN INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER OF OLS.

I CAN'T WAIT TO COLLABORATE AND INNOVATE WITH THE TEACHING AND LEARNING TEAM.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME.

CONGRATULATIONS, ROBIN.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE BOARD, TO DR.

ROLLO, TO MY LUBBOCK ISD FAMILY.

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME IN THIS.

I, AS I'VE CONSIDERED WHAT I MIGHT SAY TO YOU TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE, I AM REMINDED OF A SERMON THAT MY PASTOR, DOUG HOLCOMB, SHARED WITH US.

I WILL NOT SHARE THE SERMON, BUT I BUT I WILL SHARE THE METAPHOR THAT HE USED.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE ON MISSION, THAT YOU CAN CONSIDER IT A ROAD TRIP, AND THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU GLANCE BACK IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND YOU CONSIDER LESSONS LEARNED.

YOU LOOK BACK WITH GRATITUDE, BUT OF COURSE, YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE JOURNEY AHEAD AND TO THE GOALS THAT ARE ON THE HORIZON.

SO, AS I LOOK BACK, I AM SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE FOR THE MEN AND THE WOMEN WHO HAVE INVESTED IN ME PROFESSIONALLY.

I WAS HIRED 32 YEARS AGO BY PRINCIPAL SUE BOUNDS TO TEACH AT MURFEE ELEMENTARY, FOLLOWED A FEW YEARS LATER BY DR.

ROLLO BEING MY PRINCIPAL AT MURFEE ELEMENTARY, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT I GOT TO SEE HER LIVE OUT THE CORE VALUES OF VALUING DATA, LOVING PEOPLE AND DEVELOPING LEADERS.

I THINK I STAND HERE AS A TESTAMENT TO THAT INVESTMENT SHE MADE IN ME YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME I'VE ALREADY SPENT AT CENTRAL OFFICE IN THE LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, SIX YEARS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF ANNA JACKSON, AND I HAD THE MOST PHENOMENAL TEAMMATES, MISTY RIVER AND MARTHA DODGE ALONGSIDE ME, TEACHING ME HOW TO INVEST IN ADULTS AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, INVESTING IN THE KIDS. SO, I'VE HAD WONDERFUL TUTELAGE ALONG THE WAY, AND I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO DR.

AMY STEVENS AND MR. JACK PURKEYPILE FOR HAVING THE VISION TO CREATE AN ACADEMIC DEAN POSITION, AND FOR SELECTING ME TO BE THE FIRST ACADEMIC DEAN AT MONTEREY AND IN THE DISTRICT.

TO THE STAFF AND FACULTY AT MONTEREY.

I LOVE THEM DEARLY.

I APPRECIATE THE WAY THEY INVITED ME IN.

WITH MY ELEMENTARY EXPERIENCE TRUSTING ME AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, AND TOGETHER WE BUILT AN AMAZING TEAM, AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AS I GLANCE BACK.

BUT AS I LOOK FORWARD AND I LOOK TO THE VISION AHEAD, I AM FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT.

I AM SO THANKFUL TO GET TO WORK WITH KIM CALLISON, WITH CHRIS LOPEZ, WITH THE WONDERFUL INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES AND SPECIALISTS IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING FIELD. I AM EXCITED TO GET TO CONTINUE MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH SECONDARY ADMINISTRATORS AND WITH SECONDARY ACADEMIC DEANS.

SO, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE SAME LEVEL OF COMMITMENT THAT I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE OTHER PARTS OF MY JOURNEY, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE IN THIS ROLE, AND I APPRECIATE THE TRUST.

I WANT TO INTRODUCE MY HUSBAND.

THIS IS RUSS FULBRIGHT.

WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 33 YEARS, AND WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WHO UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY, BUT BOTH ARE SUCCESS STORIES OF LUBBOCK ISD. MY DAUGHTER HOLLY WENT TO MURFEE ELEMENTARY, THEN TO HUTCHINSON MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND SHE GRADUATED IN 2015 AS A LUBBOCK HIGH WESTERNER.

SHE IS NOW A SECOND-YEAR LAW STUDENT WITH NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY.

NICE PLAYING, GOING TO SCOTLAND RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND FOR HER SO SHE CANNOT BE HERE TODAY.

MY SON WENT TO MURFEE WYATT.

HE WENT TO MURFEE ELEMENTARY.

HE WENT TO EVANS MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THEN HE WAS A PROUD GRADUATE OF MONTEREY IN 2020 AND HE'S CURRENTLY A SENIOR.

WE ARE HOPING FOR A GRADUATION IN MAY WITH A DEGREE IN MEDICAL HUMANITIES AND BIOLOGY.

SO, THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME IN THIS POSITION, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ONE DAY STANDING HERE AGAIN, BRINGING YOU SOME GOOD NEWS ABOUT ACHIEVEMENT AND GROWTH IN OUR SCHOOLS.

LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

BEFORE WE MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHARE THAT WE ARE SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE RESTRUCTURING OF OUR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT TO A

[00:30:08]

TEACHING AND LEARNING DEPARTMENT, AND YOU HEARD MR. LOPEZ SAY STREAMLINE, SAVE AND SUPPORT.

THESE TWO POSITIONS MAY LOOK LIKE WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING POSITIONS, BUT WE'RE NOT.

WE'VE ACTUALLY STREAMLINED THAT DEPARTMENT TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS OUR SIZE HAVE ALREADY DONE.

OUR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT WAS DESIGNED FOR WRITING CURRICULUM, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO ANYMORE.

WE HAVE CURRICULUM THAT IS ALIGNED TO THE STATE STANDARDS.

SO REALLY THESE ROLES ARE GOING TO BE MORE ABOUT FIDELITY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CURRICULUM.

AND SO WE'VE ACTUALLY STREAMLINED THAT DEPARTMENT BY ABOUT EIGHT POSITIONS.

SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A SAVINGS FOR THE DISTRICT, BUT BRINGING IN TWO INCREDIBLY TALENTED PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER WHO WILL HELP GUIDE OUR CAMPUS LEADERSHIP TEAMS AROUND FIDELITY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS.

SO, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT BOTH OF THESE FOLKS.

THEY'RE GOING TO DO A PHENOMENAL JOB.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

ROLLO. I WANT TO THANK KIM CARLSON AND MR. RIEBER FOR THEIR VISION AROUND THIS RESTRUCTURING AS WELL.

INNOVATIVE MINDS BEHIND THE STREAMLINING WHICH IS NECESSARY TODAY WITH THE FINANCIAL HURDLES THAT EVERY, EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS FACING.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

THE NEXT ITEM, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FURTHER ITEMS FROM THE EXECUTIVE CLOSED SESSION? YES, SIR. TRUSTEE, I MOVE THAT WE HIRE DR.

DWAYNE WILKINS AS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SO MOVED. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

PASTOR STUBBLEFIELD BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. ROLLO, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND TO JOIN THE LUBBOCK ISD FAMILY.

AND LISTEN TO THESE TWO SPEAK IS A TESTAMENT OF A WHY IT'S SO AWESOME TO JOIN THIS FAMILY IS BECAUSE THEIR EXCITEMENT IS WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE GREAT. AND WHEN I INTERVIEWED AND TALKED TO THE CABINET AND TALKED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE.

AND I KNEW IT FROM DAY ONE AND MY HEART FELT IT.

AND THE LOVE OF THE PEOPLE, THE LOVE OF THE STUDENTS.

AND IT'S RIGHT.

EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN IN THESE PEOPLE.

AND I'M EXCITED TO JOIN THAT AND BECOME A PART OF THIS AND PUSH FORWARD WITH THAT.

AND MISS JENNINGS, LEAVING SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL AND THE LEGACY THAT SHE HAS CREATED.

AND I HOPE THAT I CAN MEASURE UP TO WHAT YOU'VE CREATED ESTABLISHED HERE.

AND SO, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE I BROUGHT WITH ME.

I HAVE MY WIFE, KATIE.

I'D LIKE TO THANK HER FOR EVERYTHING SHE'S DONE.

SHE SUPPORTED ME.

I'VE BEEN IN ADMINISTRATION FOR MANY YEARS.

AND AS YOU ALL KNOW, THAT'S A TOUGH SPOT.

AND SHE'S BEEN THERE FOR ME.

MY DAUGHTER JANA, SHE'LL BE JOINING LUBBOCK HIGH AND MY SON GRAYSON, WHO'LL BE AT HUTCH MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SO, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I'M EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH YOU ALL.

THANK YOU. BEFORE WE MOVE TO A RECESS.

SO, IN ORDER FOR US TO TAKE PICTURES, I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND LET'S MOVE TO TRUSTEE.

[V. Trustee Comments]

COMMENTS I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME, SO I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP THE DAIS FOR ANY COMMENTS BASED ON RECOGNITIONS IN THE HIRINGS.

I'LL JUST START WITH I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT OUR REALIGNMENT IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING DEPARTMENT.

I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR US.

I LOVED YOUR METAPHOR, ROBIN, OF THE JOURNEY.

BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS.

SO, I THINK WE HAVE GREAT THINGS AHEAD AND IT'S REALLY ALIGNING US TO SUCCESS.

SO, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING TO THE TABLE AND TO OUR NEW CFO.

WELCOME. IT THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN SEASON FOR US.

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INVESTMENT.

HERE AT LUBBOCK ISD.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GREAT THINGS AHEAD TO THANK YOU.

WELCOME. I JUST WANT TO YOU GUYS SAW THE TESTAMENT WITH OUR STUDENTS COMING THROUGH AND ALL WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

THIS IS WHAT LISD HAS DONE.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE GROWN.

AND I'M SO VERY PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS, OUR STAFF, ADMINISTRATORS THAT HAVE HELPED THEM TO GROW TO COME WHERE WE'RE AT.

BUT CHRIS, AGAIN, I'VE SAID IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, YOU'RE PHENOMENAL.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. YOU'RE AN ASSET TO THE DISTRICT BIG TIME.

CONGRATULATIONS. WELCOME ON BOARD I APPRECIATE YOU.

AND YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU DO HAVE BIG SHOES TO FILL.

WE LOVE DEARLY.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE GREAT BECAUSE YOU WERE PICKED BY KATHY AND CABINET.

SO, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GET TO WORK.

SHEA, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE.

YOU'LL BE GREATLY MISSED. HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET TO SEE YOU.

BUT GOD BLESS YOU FOR SURE.

MY MISSING SOMEBODY.

GUYS. WHO ELSE? MRS. FULBRIGHT, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE YEARS.

[00:35:01]

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE HAD A GREAT MENTOR ALL ALONG IN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NOW CONTINUE TO MAKE OTHER FOLKS CLIMB THAT LADDER AS LADDER AS YOU HAVE TO.

SO MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

THANK YOU FOR STAYING ON BOARD.

KUDOS TO ALL THE KIDDOS THAT WE RECOGNIZED TODAY.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT SO MANY MISSED BECAUSE THEY HAD OTHER ACTIVITIES.

I THINK MANY OF OUR KIDS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GIVE CREDIT TO THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, BUT FOR A LOT OF KIDS, THAT'S WHAT KEEPS THEM ENGAGED AND KEEPS THEM GOING REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO LATER ON IN LIFE.

AND I THINK BEING PART OF TEAM SPORTS, THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU LEARN THAT CANNOT BE TAUGHT IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO, I LOVE THAT WE HONORED THOSE.

CHRIS, YOU WON THE PRESS CONFERENCE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

I MADE A COMMENT TO YOU, AND YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB, SO COULD NOT BE PROUDER OF WHAT YOU ALL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT YOU HAVE LAID OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST AND SO PUMPED THAT YOU'RE STAYING WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

ROBIN HAVING A SOMEWHAT OF A FRONT ROW SEAT TO TO WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED I KNOW THE DISTRICT WILL BENEFIT GREATLY.

AND SO I'M SURE JACK IS CRYING ON THE WAY HOME.

BUT EXCITED FOR WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

AND THEN DWAYNE, LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

MAN, WE'RE AT A CROSSROADS IN THIS DISTRICT FOR A MYRIAD OF REASONS.

AND SO YOU MAY REGRET HAVING APPLIED BUT, YOU KNOW, WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOU WORKING WITH SHAY AND HER TEAM AND TAKING OVER IN THE INTERIM.

SO. I WOULD START BY RECOGNIZING OUR STUDENTS.

THE ACADEMIC ALL-STATE IS SO IMPRESSIVE BECAUSE IT MEANS NOT ONLY ARE YOU WITH GIVING ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO THAT EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY, BUT YOU'RE ALSO EXCELLING AT ACADEMICS.

AND SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRIS AND ROBIN, I WOULD SAY THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT THAT COULD BE PAID TO YOU IS THE HOLE THAT IS BEING LEFT IN THE POSITION YOU'RE TRANSITIONING FROM.

AND THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY AND SUPERVISORS THAT ARE GENUINELY GOING TO MISS THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT EVERY DAY.

BUT WITHOUT GETTING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, YOU COULDN'T BE PUT INTO THIS GIVEN THIS NEW OPPORTUNITY.

SO, I'M SURE WE'LL FIND GREAT PEOPLE TO REPLACE YOU.

BUT JUST KNOW THAT YOUR PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN NOTED AND WE WISH YOU LUCK AND YOUR NEW ROLES.

AND, DR.

WILKINS, I WOULD SAY THAT ANYONE THAT HAS THE ENDORSEMENT OF DR.

GLENN TEAL COMES WITH A LOT OF HIGHER EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL OF US THAT HAVE GOTTEN TO WORK WITH HIM IN THE PAST.

SO AS MR. CURRY SAID, WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF FINANCIAL DECISIONS TO MAKE, AND WE'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE SHAY HELPING US MAKE THOSE DECISIONS FOR MANY YEARS AND BIG, BIG SHOES. BUT WE KNOW YOU'RE UP TO THE TASK, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU.

I'LL JUST CHIME IN REAL QUICK.

I HAD THE SAME THOUGHTS THAT CURRY HAD JUST WITH REGARD TO ALL THE STUDENTS THAT ARE BEING ACKNOWLEDGED AND SO MANY THAT COULDN'T BE HERE BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING OTHER THINGS.

I MEAN, IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, IN LIFE WE HAVE TO WEAR MULTIPLE HATS AND THESE KIDS ARE GETTING REALLY WELL TRAINED TO DO THAT.

AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY HAVE THE INITIATIVE TO DO IT.

JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, I THINK WE NEED TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PARENTS AND FACULTY BECAUSE THOSE KIDS, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, IT TAKES IT TAKES A LOT OF SUPPORT.

AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS JUST AT HOME.

IT'S AT SCHOOL. AND IT'S NOT JUST ALWAYS TEACHERS.

IT'S EVERYBODY THAT'S AT THE SCHOOL.

SO VERY PROUD TO HEAR ABOUT THAT.

TO THE APPOINTMENTS FOR CHRIS AND ROBIN.

CONGRATULATIONS. I KNOW IT COMES VERY WELL EARNED FROM YOU KNOW, FROM, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD AND WHAT I'VE SEEN I THINK KATHY AND HER TEAM SHOULD ALSO BE COMMENDED FOR WORKING IN A VERY STRATEGIC MANNER TO DO THINGS WITH A VERY THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL BEING STEWARDS TO THE SCHOOL AND THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS, YOU KNOW, IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER.

NOW COMES THE EXECUTION.

RIGHT? SO THAT'S THE BIGGEST PART IS THE EXECUTION.

AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU GUYS WILL DO THAT.

AND TO THE WILKINS FAMILY, WELCOME TO LUBBOCK.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG Y'ALL BEEN HERE.

BUT I'M GLAD THAT Y'ALL MADE IT.

YEAH. CAME IN HOT, RIGHT? CUP OF COFFEE? HOT.

BUT NO. ANYWAY, WELCOME.

AND I'M GLAD THAT YOUR STUDENTS WILL BE AT LUBBOCK HIGH AND HUTCH AND THEN, OF COURSE, SHAY.

I KNOW WE'LL HAVE A TIME TO DO IT LATER, BUT GOOD GRIEF, YOU'VE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB.

AND I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY TO KNOW.

AND I SUPPORT THE FACT THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A TRANSITION PERIOD WITH DWAYNE AND BE ABLE TO HAND THAT OFF, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY VERY BENEFICIAL FOR ALL OF US HERE AT LISD.

AND I'LL BE BRIEF, AND I'LL JUST PIGGYBACK ON WHAT PASTOR HOLCOMB SAID.

[00:40:01]

SOUNDS LIKE A VERY WISE MAN AND A DEAR FRIEND AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, THE DESTINATION.

OFTENTIMES WE PUT IT AS A PRIORITY, AND WE FORGET ABOUT THE JOURNEY IN AND OF ITSELF.

I ENJOY A ROAD TRIP PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I'M ON THE JOURNEY WITH.

YOU CAN BE IN A PLANE FOR FOUR HOURS OR ON THE ROAD FOR 6 OR 10, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE WITH YOU OR ON THE DRIVE OR TAKING THAT JOURNEY, IT GOES BY SO FAST.

AND THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH ALL OF THE ONES THAT HAVE THAT ARE LEAVING LEGACIES.

SAY, IT SEEMED LIKE JUST YESTERDAY THAT WE WERE ANNOUNCING YOU, YOU KNOW, AND WE ARE A BETTER DISTRICT BECAUSE OF YOU.

BUT WITH THE ENERGY THAT'S BEHIND YOU AND THE EXCITEMENT, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

SO, LET'S ENJOY THE JOURNEY BECAUSE WE'LL BLINK, AND IT'LL BE OVER AND ALL TOO SOON.

SO, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

AND THAT INCLUDES OUR STUDENTS AND OUR PARENTS THAT ARE ALONG FOR THIS RIDE.

IT IS AN AMAZING JOURNEY TO BE ON THIS TRIP THAT WE CALL PUBLIC EDUCATION.

THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT ARE PART OF THE JOURNEY.

WE APPRECIATE YOU, DR.

ROLLO. WE'RE JUST INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL THREE OF YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO STAND IN RECESS.

RECESS FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

HERE WE HAVE OUR ACADEMIC GROWTH COMPARISON TO THE STATE IN BOTH READING AND MATH, FOR ALL STUDENTS AND FOR OUR ACCELERATED LEARNERS WHO ARE STUDENTS THAT FAILED THE PREVIOUS YEAR. YOU CAN SEE THAT LISD OUTPERFORMED THE STATE IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR LOWEST PERFORMING STUDENTS.

AND HERE WE HAVE OUR 2023 ACADEMIC GROWTH COMPARED TO 2022.

2023 WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR ENGLISH ONE TO COUNT TOWARDS ACADEMIC GROWTH.

THE DISTRICT PAPER INCLUDES A BILINGUAL EDUCATION ESL SECTION.

THIS BAR GRAPH COMPARES ALL SUBJECT APPROACHES, PERFORMANCE LEVEL FOR THE STATE AND DISTRICT TO THE DISTRICT.

BILINGUAL AND ESL PROGRAMS. STUDENTS RECEIVING SERVICES OUTSCORED STUDENTS WITH PARENT DENIAL OF SERVICES.

AND SHOWN HERE IS A FOUR-YEAR COMPARISON BY PROGRAM.

THEY'RE DOING AWESOME.

BILINGUALS. GREAT.

NOW LET'S MOVE TO THE DISTRICT PROFILE SECTION OF TAPER.

OUR DISTRICT ENROLLMENT SINCE 2000 2001 SCHOOL YEAR HAS FLUCTUATED.

CURRENTLY, WE ARE IN A DOWNWARD TREND SINCE THE 20 1415 SCHOOL YEAR.

THIS IS THE ETHNICITY BREAKDOWN COMPARING THE DISTRICT TO THE STATE.

LISD HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC, AND AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS THAN THE STATE.

WHEN LOOKING AT THE DISTRICT ETHNICITY BREAKDOWN OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS, OUR ASIAN AMERICAN INDIAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN GROUPS HAVE HELD STEADY.

OUR HISPANIC STUDENT GROUP HAS INCREASED, AND WHITE STUDENT GROUP HAS DECREASED IN NUMBER.

THE TAPER REPORTS TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS BY GRADE AND THE AVERAGE CLASS SIZE COMPARED TO THE STATE.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KINDERGARTEN AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE, LUBBOCK ISD IS AT OR BELOW THE CLASS SIZE OF THE STATE.

LUBBOCK ISD. PERCENTAGE OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS INCREASED FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE.

WHEN COMPARING DISTRICT PROGRAMS TO THE STATE, BOTH IN 2014 AND 2023, THE PERCENTAGE OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION HAS INCREASED.

THE PERCENTAGE OF GT STUDENTS IS CLOSER ALIGNED TO THE STATE'S PERCENTAGE, AND BOTH THE DISTRICT AND STATE PERCENTAGES CONTINUE TO INCREASE FOR THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS BEING SERVED BY SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. WE'RE IN APPLES-TO-APPLES COMPARISON.

TOTAL STAFF BREAK BREAKDOWN WAS RECONFIGURED TO EXCLUDE AUXILIARY STAFF SINCE THOSE SERVICES ARE CONTRACTED OUT.

LUBBOCK ISD STAFF BREAKDOWN IS VERY CLOSE TO 2014 NUMBERS.

THE CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATION STAFF PERCENT IS LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE.

THE DISTRICT'S PROFESSIONAL STAFF, WHICH ARE CAMPUS ADMIN, PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT AND TEACHER, MAKE UP 76% OF TOTAL STAFF COMPARED TO THE STATE 63%.

WHEN LOOKING AT TEACHERS BY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, LUBBOCK ISD HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF TEACHERS THAN THE STATE WITH FIVE OR LESS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

THIS HAS INCREASED SINCE 2014.

62% OF LISD TEACHERS HAVE TEN OR LESS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, COMPARED TO THE STATE'S 57.

THIS CIRCLE GRAPH SHOWS THE 2021 2022 ACTUAL FINANCIAL DATA BREAKDOWN COMPARED TO 2012 2013.

OUR ACTUAL PER STUDENT REVENUE WAS $12,737, AN INCREASE OF $495 FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

[00:50:04]

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS INDICATORS FOR 2223.

SINCE THIS DATA REPRESENTS ANNUAL GRADUATES FOLLOWING INTO THE NEXT FALL, IT IS LAGGING DATA FROM THE 2021 2022 SCHOOL YEAR ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD.

LONGITUDINAL GRADUATION RATES FOLLOW A COHORT OF STUDENTS BEGINNING THEIR NINTH GRADE YEAR.

WHAT PERCENT GRADUATED IN FOUR, FIVE, OR SIX YEARS AND LOOK AT AT EACH CLASS BY THOSE WHO GRADUATED AND RECEIVED A TEXAS HIGH CERTIFICATE OF HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY, CONTINUED AND ENROLLED IN THE FALL AND DROPPED OUT OR DID NOT RETURN IN THE FALL.

WHEN LOOKING AT STUDENTS WHO GRADUATED IN FOUR, FIVE, OR SIX YEARS.

LISD GRADUATION PERCENTAGES WERE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN THE STATE.

THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS GRADUATING ON TIME IN FOUR YEARS DIPPED IN 2022.

THIS COMPARISON TO THE STATE SHOWS THE PERCENTAGE OF 2022 GRADUATES UNDER THE RECOMMENDED OR DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAMS, OR THE FOUNDATION HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM WITH AN ENDORSEMENT OR AT THE DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT.

LONGITUDINAL RATES ONLY INCLUDE THE COHORT OF STUDENTS BEGINNING THEIR NINTH GRADE YEAR IN 2019.

ANNUAL RATES INCLUDE ALL STUDENTS GRADUATING IN 2022.

THE COLLEGE AND CAREER OR MILITARY READY GRADUATE COMPONENT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF ANNUAL 2022 GRADUATES WHO MEET AT LEAST ONE OF THE NINE CRITERIA.

THIS COMPONENT IS DIVIDED UP INTO TWO AREAS COLLEGE READINESS, WHICH IS MEETING CRITERIA IN ONE OF THE FIVE INDICATORS, AND CAREER OR MILITARY READY.

MEETING CRITERIA ON ONE OF THE LAST FOUR INDICATORS, THE BLUE TABLE SHOWS THAT THE OVERALL NUMBER OF THE LUBBOCK ISD HAD 77.3% OF ITS 22 GRADUATES MEET AT LEAST ONE OF THE NINE CRITERIA.

AVERAGE ACT SCORES FOR THE DISTRICT 2022 GRADUATES WERE HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE.

AS A REMINDER, THE DISTRICT SAT RESULTS INCLUDE THE DISTRICT INITIATIVE OF TESTING ALL 11TH GRADE STUDENTS EACH YEAR.

THIS REPORT FROM THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD SHOWS WHERE 2021 GRADUATES ENROLLED FOLLOWING HIGH SCHOOL, ALONG WITH THEIR FIRST YEAR GPA.

STUDENTS ATTENDING PRIVATE OR OUT OF STATE UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT INCLUDED.

60% OF STUDENTS ENROLLING IN A 2- OR 4-YEAR UNIVERSITY HAD A C AVERAGE OR HIGHER AFTER THEIR FIRST YEAR 55% A, B OR HIGHER, AND 41% AN A AVERAGE.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT CAMPUS AND DISTRICT PROGRESS TOWARD OUR HOUSE BILL THREE GOALS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERACY, MATH PROFICIENCY, AND CMR. OUR FIRST GOAL IS FOR THIRD GRADE READING AND MATH.

43% OF CAMPUSES MET THE READING GOAL OF 52%, AND 57% OF CAMPUSES MET THE MATH GOAL OF 44%.

AS A DISTRICT, 54% OF STUDENTS PASSED THE READING ASSESSMENT AND 47% PASSED THE MATH ASSESSMENT, RESULTING IN THE DISTRICT MEETING BOTH MATH AND READING GOALS. OUR NEXT GOAL IS FOR EIGHTH GRADE.

WE HAD 44% OF THE CAMPUSES MEET THE READING GOAL OF 44%.

FOR MATH, WE HAD 44% OF THE CAMPUSES MEET THE GOAL OF 25%, WHICH IS A DOUBLE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AS A DISTRICT MEET, READING AND MATH SCORES WERE AT 50% AND 24%, RESPECTIVELY, RESULTING IN THE DISTRICT MEETING THE READING GOAL FOR EIGHTH GRADE.

FINALLY, WE HAVE OUR CMR GOAL WITH 50% OF CAMPUSES EXCEEDING THE 78% GOAL.

AS A DISTRICT, 77.3% OF LISD SENIORS EARN CCMR CREDIT, NOT MEETING THE DISTRICT CCMR GOAL.

THE DISTRICT IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE ON THEIR ANNUAL REPORT THE REPORT ON VIOLENT OR CRIMINAL INCIDENTS BY CAMPUS.

SHOWN HERE IS THE REPORT FROM 22-23 WITH A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS REPORTED BY CAMPUS.

IN CLOSING, HERE ARE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF LUBBOCK ISD.

THE DISTRICT APPROACHES SCORE FOR READING LANGUAGE ARTS SURPASSED THE STATE IN BOTH THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE.

THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH GRADE MATH APPROACHES.

SCORES OUTPERFORM THE STATE.

FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY APPROACHES.

SCORES OUTPERFORM THE STATE.

ALL SUBJECTS COMBINED APPROACHES AND MEETS PERFORMANCE LEVEL WERE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE BEEN IN AT LEAST THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

[00:55:04]

AND THE DISTRICT MET THREE OUT OF FIVE HOUSE BILL GOALS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WELL. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE.

I THINK THAT THIS IS HARD WORK.

NUMBERS ARE AWFUL, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I SEE THE PROGRESS.

WE HAVE BEEN FLUCTUATING AND I SEE THAT.

BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO, MIRANDA.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MIRANDA.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE THAT HAS REQUESTED TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK TO THE TAPER REPORT? WE DO NOT. YOU DO NOT.

SAYING THAT THERE ARE NO COMMENTS REGARDING THE TAPER.

WE NOW CLOSE THE CALL PUBLIC HEARING AND RECONVENE THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS CITIZENS.

[VII. Citizen Comments]

COMMENTS. BEFORE WE BEGIN, I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THE PROVISIONS OF BOARD POLICY GOVERNING THE PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AS REFLECTED IN BED LOCAL.

THE AUDIENCE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE MATTERS BEING CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD.

I WILL REMIND THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD THAT THE CITIZENS COMMENT SECTION OF OUR BOARD MEETING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LISTENING TO PATRONS, BUT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT OR DEBATE ON ISSUES THAT ARE NOT POSTED.

NO PRESENTATION SHALL EXCEED THREE MINUTES AND A TIMER WILL GO OFF AT THE COMPLETION OF THREE MINUTES.

I WOULD ASK THAT YOU CONCLUDE YOUR COMMENTS WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT ALLOWED AS I CALL YOUR NAME.

IF YOU WOULD COME UP TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO INVITE SAVANNAH GARCIA TO THE PODIUM.

I'M SAVANNAH GARCIA, AND I WAS WANTING TO KIND OF GET AN INSIGHT MORE ON Y'ALL'S APPROVAL OVER THE EMPLOYMENT AND VOLUNTEERS OF CHAPLAINS IN OUR SCHOOLS.

I KNOW THAT I SAW THAT THERE WAS THE APPROVAL FOR IT AND KIND OF WONDERING HOW.

THERE MIGHT BE A WAY TO ENSURE THAT THESE CHAPLAINS WON'T BE ATTEMPTING TO CONVERT CERTAIN STUDENTS TO WHATEVER DENOMINATION THAT THEY DO BELIEVE IN, BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE AS A PARENT.

AND I WANT TO MAKE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO, YOU KNOW, QUESTION CERTAIN THINGS, AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE LED TO FURTHER CONFUSION. YEAH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND JUST TO GIVE SOME CLARITY, MISS GARCIA, AS I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY ASKING, THIS IS CITIZENS COMMENTS.

SO, THE PURPOSE OF THIS PORTION OF THE BOARD AGENDA IS FOR YOU TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

SO, WE'RE INTERPRETING YOUR COMMENTS IN THE MANNER THAT YOU ARE BASICALLY NOT FOR THE CHAPLAINCY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE TAYLOR GORMAN TO THE PODIUM.

GOOD MORNING. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

PRESIDENT. PASTOR STUBBLEFIELD.

DR. ROLLO. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY DRESS CODE.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT I HAVE A SICK BABY IN THE ICU, AND SO I'VE BEEN SPENDING MAJORITY OF MY NIGHTS THERE, AND IT'S KIND OF AWKWARD GETTING DRESSED IN THE BATHROOM.

SO, I WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING THAT AS A PARENT, OUR NUMBER ONE JOB IS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOME THINGS JUST HAPPEN.

HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS? SO LAST WEEK WHEN IT SNOWED, ON LISD FACEBOOK PAGE, THERE WAS A PHOTO OF A MEME OF A SPONGEBOB AND HE WAS [INAUDIBLE] COMMUNICATION.

AT THE TOP.

AND I'LL ADMIT, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE PHOTO WAS FUNNY, BUT TO ME, I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE, AND IT WAS PRETTY UNPLEASANT TO THE POINT WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS YOU GUYS. REGARDING THE INCIDENT ON FEBRUARY 1ST DAD WENT TO PICK UP OUR SEVEN-YEAR-OLD FIRST GRADER FROM SCHOOL.

AT 325, HE WAS TOLD THAT OUR SON WAS NOT THERE AND THAT HE HAD BEEN PUT ON THE BUS.

THE PROBLEM IS MY SON HAS NOT RIDDEN THE BUS IN OVER 60 DAYS.

WE HAVE BEEN PICKING HIM UP.

I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT MY CHILD BEING MISPLACED UNTIL THE DAYCARE INSTRUCTOR CALLED TO ASK IF I KNEW THAT MY SON WAS THERE.

I CAN'T REACH DAD AS HE'S WORRIED IN THE OFFICE AND WHENEVER I CALL TO ASK WHERE MY SON IS, I'M TOLD THAT THERE IS A MISCOMMUNICATION.

MY SON WAS MISSING FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES.

FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS EVEN TWO MINUTES.

I HAD PROPERLY COMMUNICATED VIA EMAIL ON NOVEMBER 30TH, 2023, THAT MY SON WOULD NO LONGER BE RIDING THE BUS DUE TO BULLYING.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HYSTERICAL WE FELT TO NOT KNOW HOW OUR SON, WHO IS AUTISTIC, WAS FEELING DURING THAT TIME?

[01:00:03]

THANK GOD THAT DAYCARE INSTRUCTOR WAS AT THE BUILDING.

GOD FORBID HE DIDN'T DECIDE TO GET OFF OF THAT BUS.

WHENEVER HE ARRIVED HOME, HE WAS IN TEARS.

HE STATED, I TOLD THEM THAT MY MOM WAS PICKING ME UP AND THAT I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET ON THAT BUS ANYMORE.

THEY WEREN'T LISTENING TO ME.

I WAS REALLY SCARED.

CAN YOU IMAGINE? ALTHOUGH FACULTY.

FACULTY APOLOGIZED TO DAD, WE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER REGARDING THE INCIDENT.

I EVEN DROVE UP TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE INSTANTLY, QUICKER THAN IT TOOK TO RETRIEVE OUR SON.

ATTEMPTING TO FURTHER MY COMMUNICATION, I WAS TOLD THAT NOBODY WAS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO ME.

NOBODY AT ALL.

THANKFULLY, SERGEANT GREEN WAS KIND ENOUGH TO HEAR MY OUTCRY AND WITNESSED MY PAIN AS A MOTHER.

SERGEANT GREEN, IF YOU'RE LISTENING.

THANK YOU. RESPECTFULLY, I CAN'T HELP BUT TO THINK THAT IF ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN.

IF IT WERE ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN, THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A VEHICLE, LOST FOREVER.

BECAUSE I TRUSTED SOMEBODY TO PROTECT HIM.

I'M NOT HERE TO POINT FINGERS OR TO GET ANYBODY IN TROUBLE.

IN FACT, I'M CHOOSING FORGIVENESS AS I UNDERSTAND SOME THINGS JUST HAPPENED.

I WILL LEAVE THIS BUILDING WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUEST COMMUNICATE, ACKNOWLEDGE THE INCIDENT AND PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO THE NEXT CHILD.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

TAYLOR. AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO TAKE A LEAVE FROM THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD AND VICE PRESIDENT BRIDGES SHALL HAVE THE CHAIR AND CONDUCT THE REMAINDER OF THIS MEETING.

I'VE GOT TO CATCH A FLIGHT.

I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DAIS AND THE REST OF THE COLLEAGUES UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL BE VOTING IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AND SUPPORT OF THE RESOLUTION FOR OUR CHAPLAINS AS PRESENTED.

THANK YOU. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT STUBBLEFIELD.

SAFE TRAVELS TO YOUR DESTINATION, TO THE JOURNEY AHEAD.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO SECTION EIGHT OF OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS FINANCIALS.

[VIII. Financials]

BEFORE WE BEGIN, DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD REGARDING ANY OF THE BOARD AGENDA ITEMS POSTED? ALL RIGHT.

HEARING NONE.

WE WILL MOVE TO THE APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET SUMMARY.

FOR THE MONTH ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2023.

SHAY, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

GOOD MORNING. BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

ROLLO. YES.

I'LL JUST KIND OF HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR DECEMBER 31ST.

WE HAD THREE MAJOR AMENDMENTS FOR THE MONTH.

1.1 MILLION FUND BALANCE DESIGNATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF THREE ACTIVITY BUSSES.

THEN WE HAD $300,000 FUND BALANCE DESIGNATION FOR BEYOND DISTRICT.

WE BUDGET 100,000.

AND AS COMPETITIONS TAKE PLACE, WE GO IN AND RECOGNIZE THE OTHER 300.

SO, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 400 DESIGNATED FOR THE YEAR FOR BEYOND DISTRICT AND THEN 718,000 FOR HAIL DAMAGE.

SO, WE CAN PREPARE REPAIR ROOFS.

OTHER THAN THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

TRUSTEES, ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DECEMBER FINANCIALS AS PRESENTED? SO MOVED. THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

CONSENT AGENDA NEXT ON THE AGENDA.

[IX. Consent Agenda]

CONSIDER BOARD APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR THE SPECIAL CALL MEETING HELD JANUARY 16TH, 2024.

AND THE REGULAR MEETING AND WORKSHOP HELD JANUARY 25TH, 2024.

DO WE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS TO THE MINUTES FROM THE JANUARY MEETINGS OF THE BOARD AS PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED? HEARING NONE. THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED AS PRINTED.

SECTION TEN ACADEMIC ACTION ITEMS. APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION FOR EXTRACURRICULAR STATUS FOR EACH ORGANIZATION.

[X.A. Approval of Resolution for Extracurricular Status of 4H Organization]

SO, THIS IS AN ANNUAL ITEM THAT WE BRING TO YOU.

THE STATE FOR EACH ORGANIZATION REQUIRES THE BOARD TO PASS A RESOLUTION THAT FOR EACH IS AN APPROVED EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY.

AND WE DO HAVE SEVERAL STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN 4H.

IS THAT ELEMENTARY LEVEL? WHAT SECONDARY.

SECONDARY? OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, TRUSTEES.

ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE EXTRACURRICULAR STATUS OF THE LUBBOCK COUNTY 4H ORGANIZATION? SO MOVED. OKAY.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

OKAY. APPROVAL OF THE HEAD START CARRY OVER APPLICATION.

[X.B. Approval of Head Start Carryover Application]

SO, HEAD START REQUIRES THAT IF WE HAVE ANY CARRYOVER MONEY THAT THE BOARD APPROVES OUR PLAN FOR SPENDING THAT CARRYOVER MONEY, WE DO HAVE $62,000,

[01:05:04]

662, $681,000 IN CARRYOVER.

SO, YOU CAN SEE ON YOUR PACKET WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR SPENDING THAT MONEY.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SO, IS IT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT? MOSTLY. THE LARGEST PORTION OF THAT IS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE HEAD START TEACHERS AND TEACHING ASSISTANTS.

THERE IS SOME THAT IS ALLOTTED FOR CLASSROOM AND OFFICE SUPPLIES.

AND THEN WE'VE ALLOTTED SOME FOR PROMOTING ENROLLMENT FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION.

KATHY. CHAVEZ.

SO, CAN THAT MONEY BE USED FOR ANYTHING? I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.

DO YOU KNOW, MISTY? I BELIEVE YOU DO AN AMENDMENT TO THE GRANT.

AND IT THEY HAVE A LINE ITEM.

IT'S NOT USED FOR SALARIES OR FOR THAT TYPE OF MONEY.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE PUTTING IT IN SUPPLIES AND PROFESSIONAL.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE HEAD START CARRYOVER APPLICATION? SO MOVED. SECOND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL THOSE SORRY. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

AYE. OPPOSED WITH THE SAME SIGN.

THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

OKAY. ITEM C, APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING MOU WITH ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY FOR DUAL CREDIT PROGRAM.

[X.C. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with Angelo State University for Dual Credit Program]

YES. SO, IF YOU'LL RECALL, WE STARTED PARTNERING WITH ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY FOR DUAL CREDIT AT BOTH MONTEREY AND TALKINGTON.

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOU BECAUSE THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS APPROVED THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE CONSIDERED LOW SOCIOECONOMIC CAN NOW GET DUAL CREDIT FOR FREE.

SO, THIS IS AMENDING OUR CURRENT MOU TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT PROGRAM THAT CAME OUT OF THE CREDIT FOR WHAT KATHY DUAL CREDIT HOURS.

IN THE PAST, THEY'VE HAD TO PAY.

IT'S A SMALL FEE, BUT THEY'VE HAD TO PAY A FEE.

BUT NOW OUR STUDENTS CAN ACCESS THESE COURSES WITHOUT THE FEE.

OKAY, NICE.

OKAY. PROBABLY SHOULD KNOW THE QUESTION.

THE ANSWER TO THIS. BUT WHY? WHY DO SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS' PARTNER WITH CERTAIN HIGHER ED AND SOME DON'T LIKE THIS IS ONLY MONTEREY AND TALKINGTON.

WHY WOULDN'T IT BE AN OPTION FOR ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS? SO, WE PARTNERED WITH SOUTH PLAINS COLLEGE FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND ANGELO STATE APPROACHED US, APPROACHED US AND WANTED TO BE OUR PARTNER ON DUAL CREDIT.

SO, WE ACTUALLY ARE DOING IT BOTH.

SO SOUTH PLAINS IS COVERING THE OTHER SCHOOLS, BUT MONTEREY AND TALKINGTON WANTED TO TRY ANGELO STATE.

SO, IT'S A HIGH SCHOOL, JUST LIKE THE PRINCIPAL DECIDES IT IS.

BUT OUR CTE COURSES ARE ALSO THERE, ALL THROUGH SOUTH PLAINS FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT.

SO, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW COURSES THAT EVERYBODY DOES AT SOUTH PLAINS AND THEN SOME THAT WE'RE DOING AT ANGELO STATE.

SO, AND THEY HAD SOME ONLINE OPTIONS THAT WERE HELPFUL FOR SOME OF OUR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A TEACHER THAT WAS QUALIFIED WITH THE MASTER'S DEGREE TO TEACH DUAL CREDIT. SO, IT ALLOWED US TO STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE DUAL CREDIT COURSES.

AND I WILL SHARE THAT, THAT THE COMPETITION HAS ACTUALLY MADE BOTH ORGANIZATIONS MUCH BETTER.

SO IT'S BEEN A GOOD PRACTICE.

AND SOUTH PLAINS ALSO HONORS THE NEW FAST WHICH IS THE LEGISLATION WHERE YOU HAVE FREE ACCESS.

THEY JUST ARE NOT REQUIRING A NEW MOU TO MAKE THAT PART OF THE PROCESS.

BUT ALL OF OUR KIDS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR GET FREE ACCESS TO DUAL CREDIT IF YOU'RE ON FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH.

OKAY. AND HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE DONE THIS WITH ANGELO STATE? OH, IT'S BEEN OUR THIRD, THIRD YEAR.

SO HAS IMPROVED BOTH.

YES, YES.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES. ALL RIGHT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DUAL CREDIT PROGRAM AT MONTEREY HIGH SCHOOL AND TALKINGTON SCHOOL FOR YOUNG WOMEN LEADERS.

SO MOVED. SECOND. THANK YOU.

HAVE A MOTION. AND A SECOND.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. SECTION 11.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION ITEMS. APPROVAL OF ANNUAL REVIEW OF INVESTMENT POLICY.

MISS JENNINGS? YES.

THIS IS AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT OF THE BOARD.

IN YOUR PACKET, YOU HAVE THE INVESTMENT REPORT AS OF JUNE 30TH, 2023, AS WELL AS OUR CURRENT LIST OF QUALIFIED BROKERS.

OUR MAIN METHOD OF INVESTING RIGHT NOW IS IN OUR OVERNIGHT FUNDS, WITH OUR CHECKING ACCOUNT THROUGH PLAINSCAPITAL BANK AND OUR SEEDERS PROGRAM, WHICH IS WE PLAN TO CONTINUE THE 12-MONTH SEEDERS LADDER.

IT'S ALLOWED US TO CAPTURE A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN OUR OVERNIGHT FUNDS AND HAS HELPED US BOOST OUR RATE OF RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENTS TO AN AVERAGE OF 6.3%.

WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT RECOMMENDING ANY CHANGES TO THE INVESTMENT POLICY APPROVED BY THE BOARD LAST YEAR.

[01:10:03]

THE CURRENT VERSION, WHICH IS CDA LOCAL 114 HAS BEEN APPROVED BY OUR TASB REPRESENTATIVE AS WELL.

FINANCE COMMITTEE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE HAS REVIEWED IT AS WELL.

YES, I WAS GOING TO ADD FINANCE COMMITTEE DID LOOK AT THIS AND I DON'T THINK HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS OR REVISIONS EITHER.

SO, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I WOULD JUST SAY, SHAY, TO YOU AND TIM AND THE TEAM, I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE RETURNS THAT WE'RE GETTING AND TO OUR BANKING PARTNER, PLAINS CAPITAL. THE FACT THAT WE'RE GETTING THE RETURNS THAT WE'RE GETTING, BUT ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE MONEY, GOD FORBID WE NEED IT.

I WOULD ARGUE THAT WE'RE PROBABLY YIELDING BETTER THAN THE VAST MAJORITY OF DISTRICTS.

SO, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE POLICY AS PROPOSED, INCLUDING THE LISTING OF QUALIFIED BROKERS FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. THANK YOU. HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

[XI.B. Approval of Audit Agreement for External Auditor for the District]

AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU APPROVE THE AUDIT AGREEMENT FOR THE 2024 AUDIT.

THEY'RE PROPOSING AN AUDIT FEE OF $72,500.

AND THAT'S A NOT TO EXCEED NUMBER.

CORRECT. OKAY.

AND THIS WAS ALSO REVIEWED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

DISCUSSED IN FINANCE COMMITTEE AS WELL.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BOLLINGER, SEEGERS, GILBERT AND MOSS LLP AS A DISTRICT'S EXTERNAL AUDIT FIRM FOR THE 2023 2024 FISCAL YEAR.

SO MOVED. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. THANK YOU.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 2024 GENERAL ELECTION ITEMS.

I THINK YOU READ IT ALL.

THIS IS THE LAST OF OUR APPROVAL FOR THE ELECTION.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE A COLLECTIVE MOTION? BECAUSE I'M NOT REREADING THAT AGAIN.

TO APPROVE THE ADDITIONAL 2024 GENERAL ELECTION ITEMS AS PRESENTED.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AYE. CAN YOU READ ITEM THREE? ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

OKAY. APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE STATE AND LOCAL CYBERSECURITY GRANT PROGRAM.

[XI.D. Approval of Resolutions Regarding the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program Applications to the Office of the Governor]

APPLICATIONS TO THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.

SO, THIS IS A GRANT THAT WE ARE APPLYING FOR TO ADDRESS CYBER SECURITY.

AND IT REQUIRES BOARD APPROVAL BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SUBMIT THE APPLICATION.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES FOR THIS GRANT.

ONE IS GOVERNANCE AND PLANNING.

IT'S FUNDING TO SUPPORT INCIDENT AND RESPONSE PLANNING.

THE SECOND OBJECTIVE IS ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION, FUNDING TO TEST OUR TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR VULNERABILITIES AND PROVIDE AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF OUR SECURITY CAPABILITIES. AND THEN OBJECTIVE THREE IS MITIGATION.

THIS IS FUNDING TO PROVIDE END OF LIFE SUPPORT FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE DAMON ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, BUT BASICALLY, WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR PERMISSION FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR THIS GRANT

[01:15:05]

FOR CYBER SECURITY PROTECTION FUNDING.

ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT WOULD THE GRANT BE? DO YOU GUYS KNOW THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT MIGHT BE? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.

THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE 75,000 FOR OBJECTIVE ONE AND TWO AND 750,000 FOR OBJECTIVE THREE.

AND TIMING ON THIS AGAIN, AND IT MAY BE IN HERE.

I JUST DIDN'T MARCH 14TH, I BELIEVE, IS WHEN WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT THE, THE DEADLINE TO HAVE THAT SUBMITTED TO THE STATE.

THE GRANT. CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.

YOU'RE REFERRING TO. OKAY, COOL.

OKAY. DAMON, DO WE SUBMIT IT EVERY YEAR? NO. NO, SIR.

THIS THIS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SET ASIDE $1 BILLION EACH OF THE STATES DIVVY THAT UP.

GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S OFFICE IS RELEASING THIS TO THE PUBLIC ENTITIES IN TEXAS.

SO, THIS IS TEXAS'S PORTION.

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED.

THANKS TO YOU GUYS FOR GOING FOR IT.

YEAH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

WE NEED TO FIND GRANTS FOR OFFICERS, TOO, OKAY? YES, MA'AM. RIGHT.

CHIEF MENDOZA, WOULD YOU LIKE A DIFFERENT LANYARD? OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? TRUSTEES ON THIS GRANT.

SO MOVED. THANK YOU.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. THANK YOU.

ITEM E, APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION REGARDING VOLUNTEER CHAPLAINS UNDER SENATE BILL 763.

[XI.E. Approval of Resolution Regarding Volunteer Chaplains Under Senate Bill 763]

SO AS YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD, SENATE BILL 763 DID PASS OUT OF THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AND THIS REQUIRES EACH SCHOOL BOARD AND THE STATE OF TEXAS TO TAKE A RECORD VOTE BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 1ST AND MARCH 1ST.

SO, WE MUST TAKE A VOTE ON THIS BY MARCH 1ST.

AND AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU GUYS, WE DETERMINED THAT WE WOULD ALLOW VOLUNTEER CHAPLAINS TO COME INTO OUR SCHOOLS AND WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS, JUST AS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, VOLUNTEERS WHO COME IN THROUGH FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS.

BUT IT REQUIRES PARENTAL CONSENT.

AND WE ALSO WOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF ANY OF OUR CURRENT COUNSELORS OR ANY OTHER POSITIONS.

THERE IS NO FUNDING BEHIND THIS MOVEMENT AT THE STATE LEVEL.

AND SO WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS.

THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH EXTENSIVE TRAINING, HAVE MASTER'S DEGREES, AND HAVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE.

THE CHAPLAINCY PROGRAM IS A 40 HOUR ONLINE TRAINING TO BE A CERTIFIED CHAPLAIN.

WE WELCOME THEM IF THEY WANT TO VOLUNTEER IN OUR SCHOOLS, BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO FOLLOW OUR CURRENT VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO DO SO.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS AS WELL.

I HAVE A COMMENT WITH AND YOU'RE RIGHT, WE DID TALK ABOUT ALL THAT KATHY AND I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FELT.

AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT AT SEVERAL DEBATES THAT WE'VE THAT I'VE RECENTLY BEEN TO CURRENTLY, AS YOU SAID, THEY CAN ALREADY GO AND VOLUNTEER.

AND TO SOME OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS, I JUST WANT I DO WANT TO ADD SOMETHING IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO IN THERE AND THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PREACH.

THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

THEY WE ALREADY HAVE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT ARE KIDS ARE THE ONES THAT DEAL WITH ALL OF THAT, LIKE THE GOOD NEWS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE, THE TRUSTEES OR THE DISTRICT DEAL WITH IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM.

SO REST ASSURED THAT KIDS ARE SAFE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, AND I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

I WILL NOT SUPPORT THE CHAPLAINS AGAIN.

THEY'RE WELCOME TO COME IN CURRENTLY AND DO THAT, BUT I REFUSE TO PAY THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE AMAZING COUNSELORS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET RID OF THEM.

WE NEED THEM. WE HAVE TOO MUCH MENTAL ILLNESS.

WE JUST NEED THEM FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE THAT WE NEED THEM.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING UP AND SPEAK ABOUT THAT.

I WOULD JUST SAY ALONG THE LINES OF MISS CHAVEZ AS WELL.

AND SAVANNAH, TO YOUR WE CAN ADDRESS IT BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY AN ITEM.

NOTHING THAT'S IN THIS RESOLUTION IS CHANGING WHAT CAN BE DONE FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE, ANYONE CAN COME VOLUNTEER IN OUR SCHOOLS, ASSUMING THAT THEY GET APPROVED AND, YOU KNOW, ETC..

AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ALREADY DO A TON OF GREAT WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD, BUT, I MEAN, I WELCOME THAT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COME IN AND LOVE ON OUR KIDS, MAN, WE COULD USE MORE VOLUNTEERS.

IF WE HAD MORE VOLUNTEERS, WE'D HAVE LESS PROBLEMS. AND SO TO THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE CHAPLAINCY, YOU KNOW, I, I'VE BEEN OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF LOCAL CHURCHES HERE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN LUBBOCK.

[01:20:05]

AND, YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE FOR A CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN TO BE IN MY KID'S ROOM AND HELPING, YOU KNOW, TEACH THEM THE THE WORD OF GOD.

THAT'S NOT WHAT SCHOOL'S FOR.

AND I DON'T WANT A DAY WHERE A DIFFERENT RELIGION IS TEACHING MY KID.

AND I'M SURE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT A CHRISTIAN DOESN'T DOESN'T WANT A CHAPLAIN THAT I MAY APPROVE TEACHING THEIR KID.

AND SO I FIND IT COMICAL THAT THIS WAS USHERED OUT OF THE LEGISLATURE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, NOBODY.

YOU REALLY? WHEN THEY ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, NOBODY COULD REALLY ANSWER IT.

IT'S UNFUNDED, AND I THINK IT'S STRICTLY JUST A MECHANISM TO GET US ON ON THE RECORD FOR WHERE WE'RE AT ON, YOU KNOW, RELIGION AND SCHOOLS. AND SO YOU KNOW, MY PERSONAL BELIEFS, WHILE I WOULD LOVE YOU KNOW, FOR MY KIDS TO BE ABLE TO READ THE BIBLE IN SCHOOL AND THAT BE PART OF THEIR CURRICULUM, IT'S NOT AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.

AND SO I, I DON'T GET TO ALWAYS BRING MY PERSONAL BELIEF OR DECISIONS AND THE THINGS THAT WE DO ON THIS DAIS I ASSURE YOU.

BUT YOU KNOW, I WELCOME ANY AND ALL CHAPLAINS TO COME VOLUNTEER.

I THINK OUR COUNSELORS, I DON'T I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH AS IT IS.

AND I THINK THEY DO THINGS THEY THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO THINGS FOR A LOT OF VERY VARIOUS REASONS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH COUNSELING KIDS.

AND SO I WOULD RATHER OUR STATE FUND COUNSELING POSITIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO JUST BE COUNSELORS.

AND SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE FOLKS THAT THAT COUNCIL OUR KIDDOS ON A DAILY BASIS, AND I, I THINK THEY DO AS WELL AS THEY CAN.

AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, I AM A CHRISTIAN.

I AM A CATHOLIC. I'M A DEVOUT CATHOLIC.

SO BUT AGAIN, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE TRUSTEE, ALL MY TRUSTEES.

I THINK THAT WE ALL THINK THE SAME, WITH THE EXCEPTION I THINK WE HAD.

WAS IT BILL STUBBLEFIELD? THAT WAS IT. WAS HE FOR IT? AFFIRMATIVE. YEAH, YEAH.

HE'S SUPPORTING.

GOTCHA. OKAY.

YEAH. I WOULD ASK BOTH OF YOU DO ARE YOU AWARE, DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING AS CHAPLAINS IN ANY OF OUR I THINK SO I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE I HONESTLY AM NOT CERTAIN.

I KNOW WE HAVE GOOD NEWS CLUB.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THOSE FOLKS ARE ARE CHAPLAINS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE CERTIFIED.

THIS THIS IS A DIFFERENT CERTIFICATION.

THAT IS A SPECIALTY CERTIFICATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANYBODY THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THIS.

DO WE HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WORK IN GOOD NEWS CLUBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? OF COURSE. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR IF THEY'VE DONE THESE THINGS.

YEAH, THEY'VE PASSED OUR VOLUNTEER PROCESS THOUGH.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PASTORS OUT AT SLAYTON.

YEAH, WE HAVE A LOT OF FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF NOMINAL.

YEAH. FAITH BASED VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT UNCOMMON.

OUR CHURCH DOES THE SAME.

WE'RE VERY INVOLVED. THERE ARE KIDS FROM ALL KINDS OF THE LIKE LICENSE OR WHATEVER.

CHAPLAINS THAT ARE WELCOME TO VOLUNTEER.

RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T IN MY IN MY UNDERSTANDING, WE DON'T HAVE ANY.

IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT WE'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY SO MANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO.

WE NEED TO DO, WE NEED TO DO.

BUT WITHOUT DATA, WE CAN'T EVEN CONSIDER.

AND TO NOT HAVE ANYONE VOLUNTEERING IN THAT ROLE IS JUST IT'S IT'S DISAPPOINTING.

SO I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE VOLUNTEERS AND US CONTINUING IN THAT.

BUT THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON IT.

ANYTHING. YEAH.

I JUST, I LIKE THE, THE LANGUAGE IN THIS AND THAT.

IT IS CLEAR IN MY OPINION THAT IT IS A VOLUNTEER BASIS, AS WE DO OTHER VOLUNTEERS AND DOES NOT SUPPLANT ANY OTHER SALARIED POSITION AND WILL NOT SUPPLANT ANY OTHER SALARIED POSITION FOR MANY REASONS.

SO. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION REGARDING VOLUNTEER CHAPLAINS UNDER SENATE BILL 763 AS PRESENTED.
