THE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL TEAM WON FIRST PLACE OVERALL IN THE REGION ONE COMPETITION WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WINNING 42 INDIVIDUAL MEDALS AND FIVE STUDENTS PLACING IN THE TOP

[00:05:04]

AND THEN RECENTLY THEY COMPETED AT THE STATE LEVEL, COMING IN AT SEVENTH PLACE FOR LARGE SCHOOLS, AND THE ENTIRE TEAM WON A BRONZE MEDAL AT STATE FOUR SUPER QUIZ, AND THEN FOUR STUDENTS WON A TOTAL OF FIVE MEDALS FOR INDIVIDUAL AWARDS.

HERE TONIGHT TO HELP US RECOGNIZE THESE STUDENTS ARE THE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC SPONSORS KENDALL LOPEZ AND LAURA LEWIS.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING US TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE OUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT NINE OF THE MOST DEDICATED STUDENTS AT FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY DID A LOT OF HARD WORK THIS YEAR TO STUDY.

SO DECATHLON IS MADE UP OF THREE DIVISIONS.

WE HAVE HONOR, SCHOLASTIC AND VARSITY.

AND SO OUR THREE HONOR STUDENTS ARE [INAUDIBLE] SHE WAS OUR TOP HONOR STUDENT THIS YEAR.

JACOB RAMIREZ, TATUM CAMERON.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR SCHOLASTIC DIVISION STUDENTS.

OUR TOP STUDENT WAS SOPHIA KAHN, MADISON VASQUEZ, AND THEN CAROLINE SALMERON, WHO UNFORTUNATELY ISN'T HERE TONIGHT WITH US.

AND THEN OUR VARSITY STUDENTS.

OUR TOP WAS XAVIER [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN KAITLYN GABLE AND NICOLAS GARCIA.

AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THESE STUDENTS ARE SO WONDERFUL.

AND WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR DEDICATION TO OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] OKAY. SO NEXT UP, WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE SEVERAL FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO

[1.G.3. SkillsUSA State Qualifiers]

WE HAD STUDENTS IN OUR CTE PHOTOGRAPHY, AUTOMOTIVE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS THAT QUALIFIED FOR THE SKILLS USA STATE COMPETITION NEXT MONTH.

SO TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR SKILLS USA SPONSORS DANA VINSON WITH AUTO TECH, SAMUEL SOTO WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND AMY THOMAS WITH PHOTOGRAPHY TO RECOGNIZE THEIR STUDENTS.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO MENTION AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY INSTRUCTOR FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

GOING INTO THIS YEAR, WE WERE KIND OF WONDERING WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER MISSING OUT ON SKILLS FOR TWO YEARS STRAIGHT.

AND WE HAD A VERY YOUNG TEAM AND VERY INEXPERIENCED TEAM, AND I'M JUST.

OKAY, GUYS, I'VE GIVEN YOU THE TOOLS.

LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND PERSEVERE AND RISE TO THE OCCASION.

THEY DEFINITELY DID.

WE TOOK HOME GOLD AND OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT.

ALONG WITH THE SILVER AND OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT.

WE TOOK AWAY SILVER AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNOLOGY AND TOOK AWAY BRONZE IN THE QUIZ BOWL AND ALSO TOOK A SILVER IN RELATED TECHNICAL MATH FOR MATH GEEKS IN THE ROOM.

AND THAT IS A SERIOUS TEST.

I MEAN, WE PASS IT OUT TO SOME OF THE MATH TEACHERS AND THEY LOOKED AT IT.

YEAH, NO WAY.

SO, YEAH, I WAS VERY PROUD WITH EVERYTHING MY TEAM ACCOMPLISHED.

WITH ME TONIGHT, I HAVE KEEGAN [INAUDIBLE] KEEGAN ACTUALLY FINISHED A SECOND PLACE IN POWER EQUIPMENT, TECHNOLOGY AND FIFTH IN TWO LADIES.

HE QUALIFIED FOR STATE IN BOTH OF THEM.

AND THIS IS JASE [INAUDIBLE] STANDING HERE.

JASE BUILT AN ENGINE FOR A DISPLAY PROJECT, AND MANAGED TO GET A SUPERIOR RATING SO HIS ENGINE GETS TO ADVANCE THE STATE, TOO.

SO WE TOOK IN A TEAM OF FIVE GUYS AND ALL FIVE GUYS MADE IT TO STATE.

SO REAL PROUD.

[APPLAUSE] I'M SAMUEL SOTO, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT INSTRUCTOR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

[00:10:01]

BEING AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM FOR TWO YEARS WAS KIND OF TOUGH.

WE HAD A REALLY, REALLY GOOD PROGRAM.

WE'RE KNOWN FOR GOING TO STATE WITH OUR CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION TEAM.

IT WAS BIG SHOES TO FILL WHEN I TOOK OVER, AND LUCKILY WE'VE ACTUALLY KEPT THAT GOING NOW. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR IN A ROW FOR UNDER ME GOING TO STATE.

I THINK IT'S LIKE THE FIFTH OR SIXTH YEAR FRENSHIP SCHOOL'S TAKEN FIRST IN THE DISTRICT AND CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION.

WE TOOK SECOND PLACE IN FELONY TRAFFIC STOP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR STATE. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE A SWEEP OF IT NEXT YEAR.

SO I HAD SHAE MCNEIL QUALIFY FOR STATE.

SHE'S A SECOND YEAR QUALIFIER.

SUTTON KNIGHT AND WYATT COLSON, WHO ALL QUALIFY FOR STATE.

SO THANKS, THAT ALL I GOT.

[APPLAUSE] WELL, I'M AMY THOMAS, AND I AM THE NEW PHOTOGRAPHY TEACHER OVER AT FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.

AND UNLIKE THESE GUYS, I DID NOT STAY OUT OF SKILLS FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR TO DO IT. I ACTUALLY CAME FROM A MIDDLE SCHOOL SETTING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SETTING LAST YEAR AND KNEW NOTHING ABOUT SKILLS.

THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL LADIES OVER HERE CAME TO ME LAST YEAR AND SAID, I WANT TO START A PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB.

LET'S DO IT. I WAS LIKE, GREAT.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? FIGURE IT OUT? AND SKILLS WAS PRESENTED TO US.

THEY SAID, WHAT'S THE COMPETITION LOOK LIKE? I SAID, I HAVE NO IDEA.

LET'S GO FOR IT. AND THEY WERE GREAT.

SO THEY STEPPED IN. THEY ACTUALLY COMPETED IN TWO DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS.

THEY COMPETED IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION, WHICH IS PRETTY GRUELING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO IN AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW THE EQUIPMENT, THEY HAVE TO KNOW THE SETTINGS ON THEIR CAMERAS. THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF WHATEVER THE INSTRUCTOR ASKS AT THAT MOMENT, DOWNLOAD THEIR PICTURES AND BE ABLE TO EDIT ON THE SPOT.

AND BOTH OF THEM DID REALLY WELL.

KELLY TOOK THE SILVER AND ASHLEY TOOK THE BRONZE, SO KELLY QUALIFIED FOR STATE IN PHOTOGRAPHY. BUT THEN ON TOP OF THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M REALLY BIG ON IS I TOLD THEM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB, WE HAVE TO GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.

AND THEY LOOKED, ACTUALLY WE DID IT AS A CLUB.

THEY DID A PROJECT WHERE THEY WENT TO VILLA AT FORT WORTH AND THEY TOOK PICTURES OF THE RESIDENTS THERE.

PROFESSIONAL PICTURES, EDITED THEM.

WE PRINTED OUT FOUR FIVE BY SEVENS FOR EACH RESIDENT, GAVE THEM TO THEM RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS FOR THEM TO SEND TO THEIR FAMILIES.

SO IT WAS A REALLY FANTASTIC IDEA THAT THESE LADIES CAME UP WITH.

AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING THROUGH SKILLS AND IT FELL UNDER THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT, SO PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION IN A NOTEBOOK AND THEY PRESENTED IT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AND ARE BOTH GOING TO STATE FOR THAT.

SO WE'RE, I'M REALLY EXCITED AND REALLY PROUD OF THEM.

A LITTLE NERVOUS JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT WE'RE DOING IT.

SO THIS IS KELLEY AND THIS IS ASHTON.

[APPLAUSE] MIC] BUT NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE OUR FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR THE

[1.G.4. Business Professionals of America State and National Qualifiers]

AND SOME OF THESE STUDENTS, THEY ACTUALLY QUALIFIED FOR STATE AND MULTIPLE TEAMS. STATE WAS HELD EARLIER THIS MONTH AND TWO OF THESE STUDENTS QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS.

AND WE ALSO HAD TWO STUDENTS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS AS WELL.

SO TONIGHT WE HAVE BUSINESS TEACHER AND BPA SPONSOR DEANNA LUNA HERE TO RECOGNIZE HER STUDENTS. HOW IS EVERYBODY TODAY? THIS YEAR WAS A REALLY GOOD YEAR.

I HAD 14 THAT CAME OUT AND JOINED BPA THIS YEAR.

SO IT WAS A REALLY NICE TO HAVE THAT MANY KIDS.

EVERYBODY WHO WENT TO REGIONALS QUALIFIED FOR STATE AND FROM THERE WE HAD THE TWO TO QUALIFY FOR NATIONALS.

SO I HAVE SELMA [INAUDIBLE] DID I GET CLOSE?

[00:15:01]

BRODY ROBINSON DID LEGAL OFFICE PROCEDURES.

RACHEL RICHEY DID SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TEAM AND HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.

BRADFORD [INAUDIBLE] DID SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TEAM AND FUNDAMENTAL WORD PROCESSING.

ASHLEA EDWARDS DID PRESENTATION MANAGEMENT TEAM.

AND THEN THESE TWO ON THE END ARE MY NATIONAL QUALIFIERS.

MACIE HALLAM PARTICIPATED IN GRAPHIC DESIGN PROMOTION AND FOR FINANCIAL ANALYST TEAM AND GRAPHIC DESIGN PROMOTION IS THE ONE SHE WAS THE FIFTH PLACE NATIONAL QUALIFIER AND THEN [INAUDIBLE] DID A FINANCIAL ANALYST TEAM AND SHE IS QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS IN PERSONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT.

I HAVE KENDALL TURNBOW, GAVIN LATHAM, MONICA [INAUDIBLE], DANA [INAUDIBLE], I CAN'T SAY HER NAME EITHER AND MIA TRONCOSO.

AND THEN WHO IS THE SECOND ONE TO GET THIS? OH, MACIE WAS, SHE'S GOT A $500 SCHOLARSHIP.

[APPLAUSE] WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF SEATS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO AS YOU CAN TELL, THIS IS A VERY LARGE GROUP.

[1.G.5. DECA State and National Qualifiers]

THEY HAD OVER 30 STUDENTS WIN AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AND ADVANCED TO THE STATE FINALS.

TEXAS DECA IS THE LARGEST DECA ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD, WITH MORE THAN 4800 STUDENTS COMPETING AT THE STATE LEVEL.

AND THREE OF OUR FRENSHIP STUDENTS ACTUALLY WON THE TITLE OF DECA STATE CHAMPION, AND THEY WILL ADVANCE TO THE NATIONAL COMPETITION IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAD SIX ADDITIONAL STUDENTS WHO ARE NAMED NATIONAL ALTERNATES.

TONIGHT, WE HAVE DECA SPONSOR RACHEL [INAUDIBLE] I EVEN CHANGED IT ON HERE.

AND KELLI CLICK. THEY'RE HERE TO HELP US RECOGNIZE OUR STUDENTS.

YES, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU BOARD FOR RECOGNIZING OUR HARD WORK AND OUR KIDS HARD WORK.

LIKE SHE SAID, THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT IS HUGE FOR THESE KIDS.

TEXAS DECA IS THE LARGEST ASSOCIATION IN THE WORLD OF DECA, SO FOR THEM TO ADVANCE IS LIKE EARNING A NATIONAL TITLE FOR MOST DECA ORGANIZATIONS.

WE ARE SO PROUD OF WHAT OUR KIDS HAVE DONE.

A LOT OF THEM HAD STARTED AS TIMID FRESHMEN, AND NOW THEY'RE EMERGING AS CONFIDENT BUSINESS LEADERS READY FOR THE WORLD AND READY TO TAKE ON SOME OTHER LEADERSHIP ROLES.

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THEM.

I JUST WANTED TO SPECIFICALLY ANNOUNCE THE THREE COMPETING IN ATLANTA THIS APRIL, MATTHEW GILLUM, SALMA [INAUDIBLE], GREG PHILLIPS.

SO THE KIDS COMPETED IN REAL WORLD SITUATION ROLE PLAYS WHERE THEY GAVE A SOLUTION IN FRONT OF A JUDGE, AS WELL AS WRITING 20 PAGE INTEGRATED MARKETING PLANS.

AND THEY ALL HAD TO TAKE A AN INDUSTRY TEST.

SO I'M GOING TO CALL THEIR NAMES AND WE ARE ABOUT HALF OF US ARE HERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO ALSO RECOGNIZE THE OTHERS THAT AREN'T HERE THAT ALSO PUT IN THEIR HARD

[00:20:02]

[LAUGHING] I DIDN'T MENTION THIS EARLIER, BUT KELLIE WAS OR RACHEL WAS ALSO NAMED THE TOP ADVISOR DURING THE DISTRICT COMPETITION.

[APPLAUSE] YOU GOT RACHEL RICHIE'S HERE.

WELL DONE, [INAUDIBLE] ASHLEY EDWARDS.

TRINITY HARDY, KALEN KING, GRANT PHILLIPS, WHO'S OUR CHAPTER PRESIDENT.

GRANT.

DANIEL RAMIREZ, WHO IS OUR DISTRICT PRESIDENT.

AND WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANYTHING WITHOUT HIM.

LILLIE SESSLER, WILSON CARDENAS AND AINSLEY HUDGENS.

THESE GUYS ARE A GREAT TEAM.

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THEM.

THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING US TODAY.

[APPLAUSE] CAN I GET Y"ALL TO LINED UP IN FRONT? YES. SORRY. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET A GROUP PICTURE .

MIC] THAT WAS OUR LAST STUDENT GROUP THAT WE'RE RECOGNIZING TONIGHT.

BUT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF STAFF MEMBERS.

[1.G.6. RISE Award Recipient from Texas Association of School Business Officials]

SHE WAS SELECTED AS A 2022 RICE AWARD RECIPIENT FROM THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS.

THIS AWARD RECOGNIZES THAT EARLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS DISTINGUISH THEM AS A LEADER IN THE PROFESSION, AND THE GOAL OF THIS AWARD IS TO BRING LIGHT TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS LIKE LILA, WHO ARE ON THE RISE IN THE SCHOOL BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

SO HERE TO HELP US RECOGNIZE HER [INAUDIBLE] IT IS AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO GET THE WORK IN FRENSHIP AND ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH, AND THAT BUILDS OUR TEAM.

EDUCATORS COME IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS. YOU HAVE CLASSROOM EDUCATORS THAT WORK DIRECTLY FACE TO FACE WITH OUR STUDENTS, BUT WE'RE ALSO EDUCATORS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL PIECES OF THIS ORGANIZATION.

ONE OF THEM BEING OUR FINANCIAL OFFICES.

LELA IS OUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

YEAH, JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

SHE IS AN EDUCATOR.

SHE'S TAUGHT WHEN SHE AND I HAVE GOALS AND CONFERENCES TO TALK ABOUT HER DESIRE IN THE PAST TO WANT TO BE AN EDUCATOR AND THIS IS STILL HER WAY TO CONTRIBUTE AND WORK WITH STUDENTS AND MAKE AN IMPACT AND A GREAT IMPACT.

SHE DOES IT WITH HER STAFF.

SHE DOES IT WITH HER TEACHERS.

SHE WORKS WITH HER ADMINISTRATORS AND DOES A REMARKABLE JOB.

IT'S AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO HAVE HER RECOGNIZED AS THE STATE IN [INAUDIBLE] SEVEN PARTICIPANTS. AND SHE'S NOT ONLY A LEADER IN OUR BUILDING, SHE'S A LEADER AT HOME.

SHE'S TAKING ON SEVERAL CHALLENGES.

QUINN I'LL SEE YOU [INAUDIBLE] QUINN IS HER NEW ADDITION AND ADDED TO THE FAMILY.

[00:25:07]

COME ON. MY HUSBAND, RAFAEL, BABY GIRL, QUINN, MY OLDEST, NOBY VELA , MY SECOND SON, [INAUDIBLE] VELA.

AND MY THIRD SON, KELLEN.

ALL TIGERS. YES, ALL TIGERS.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF LELA AND HER FAMILY HAS BEEN AMAZING SUPPORT FOR HER AND JUST LOOK FOR GREAT THINGS TO HAVE THIS TOP LEADERSHIP AROUND US.

[INAUDIBLE] CONGRATULATIONS.

SO IF I CAN HAVE MY TEAM COME UP HERE NOW.

OH, YES. OH.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

YAY! SO GOOD FOR YOU.

SO WE ARE VERY PROUD.

[1.G.7. Texas School Public Relations Association State Awards]

THEY HAD A CONFERENCE IN FEBRUARY AND AT THAT CONFERENCE WORK IS RECOGNIZED AND AWARDS ARE GIVEN FOR OUTSTANDING WORK.

AND SO ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, EIGHT OR NINE, I DON'T HAVE A READER ON SO IT'S EITHER EIGHT OR NINE AWARDS THAT THEY GOT.

HOW MANY IS IT? WE WON NINE AWARDS AND I WON'T LIST ALL OF THESE OUT FOR YOU, BUT IT'S ALL KINDS OF CATEGORIES PRINT, VIDEO, NEWSLETTER, MARKETING AND JUST THE GAMUT.

AND ALSO YOUR TEAM.

WE'RE MISSING. SABEEN, REMEMBER THE LAST MEETING? [INAUDIBLE] HAD A BABY, AND SO SABEEN IS HOME WITH THE BABY, BUT WE HAVE OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM.

I'LL INTRODUCE THEM TO YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT THESE CATEGORIES OF AWARDS, THE VERY TOP CATEGORY OF AWARDS, IS THE CRYSTAL COMMENDATION AND FRENSHIP ISD RECEIVED TWO OF THOSE AND CRYSTAL COMMENDATION FINALIST FOR PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO AND THEN THE CRYSTAL COMMENDATION FOR THE BOND ELECTION.

AND AS YOU ALL REMEMBER, THAT BOND ELECTION, WE DELAYED IT SIX MONTHS WITH THE PANDEMIC.

SO WE DID A LOT OF BOND ELECTION AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.

AND A LARGE PART OF THAT IS THE COMMUNICATION.

SO I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THEM.

THEY'RE FEARLESS LEADER TIFFANY TAYLOR, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SABINE, WHO'S MARKETING COORDINATOR, IS NOT HERE WITH US AT HOME WITH THE BABY, ERIN GARCIA.

SHE'S STANDING BACK THERE.

WAVE FOR ERIN GARCIA, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER.

AND THEN ALSO BRITTANY JAMES, WHO IS COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST.

ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO, SEEMS LIKE A BLINK OF AN EYE.

SHE WAS ON THE SUPERINTENDENT'S ADVISORY BOARD, FRENSHIP GRADUATE, AND SO WE'RE PROUD OF THEM. IF YOU DON'T MIND IF Y'ALL STAND UP HERE AND TAKE YOUR PICTURE.

[APPLAUSE] PROBABLY NOT IN FOCUS.

[LAUGHING] YES.

AND SO THEIR GREAT, GREAT TEAM DID A GREAT JOB AND WE COULDN'T DO THIS JOB WITHOUT THEIR HELP. SO THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS.

I WORK WITH SOME AWESOME PEOPLE, BUT THAT'S ALL THE RECOGNITION FOR TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, MS. DAVIS.

[00:30:09]

NO BIGGIE. BUT I WAS GOING TO INTRODUCE THE CTE.

[LAUGHING] IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET HOME TO A BASKETBALL GAME.

I'VE COME HERE TO TELL WE'RE NO LONGER THE FRENSHIP TIGERS.

WE ARE THE TEXAS TECH TIGERS.

WELL, THANK YOU, MR. DRAPER. AND BOARD AND JOE.

I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THE ADMINISTRATION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR OUR NEXT CTE COORDINATOR.

HER NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] FLORES.

SEVERAL YEARS IN MULTIPLE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SHE'S BEEN A CTE TEACHER AND A CHEER COACH AND HAS SPENT THE LAST FIVE YEARS AS A CTE COORDINATOR, KNOWS THE WORK, PASSIONATE FOR THE WORK. AND I THINK WHAT STOOD OUT ABOUT EIRA? PASSIONATE FOR OUR KIDS AND FOR SUPPORTING TEACHERS.

SO WE THINK SHE'S THE RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD OUR CTE PROGRAMS INTO THE FUTURE.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE HER HERE AND I'LL LET HER INTRODUCE HER GUESTS AS WELL.

SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE MY HUSBAND, ALBERTO FLORES.

WE ALSO HAVE A SIX MONTH OLD BABY WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS TALKATIVE.

SHE LIKES TO TALK AND SAY ALL THE THINGS RIGHT NOW.

AND SO HER NAME IS MILA AND WE ARE JUST HAPPY TO HAVE HER.

A BABY TIGER BY THE WAY.

YES, A BABY TIGER FOR SURE.

AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS THE CTE COORDINATOR IN THE DISTRICT.

AND IT FILLED MY HEART TODAY, JUST SEEING ALL THOSE CT STUDENTS BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND THE WORK THAT TEACHERS DO WITH THOSE STUDENTS.

AND I'M JUST SUPER EXCITED ABOUT BECOMING A PART OF THE FRENSHIP ISD FAMILY, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AND PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

WE'RE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU.

AND THANK YOU, MR. FLORES, FOR SHARING HER WITH US.

AND THEN IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, WHEN WE DO THE CONSENT AGENDA, WE'LL MAKE IT OFFICIAL.

[LAUGHING] [INAUDIBLE] HAS TEXTED ME EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS SINCE THE OFFER WAS MADE TO HER JUST TO TELL ME HOW EXCITED SHE WAS.

I'M LIKE, I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU WERE COMING.

[INAUDIBLE] WELL, WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU.

AND IT'S THIS DAY AND AGE, PEOPLE ARE NOT NECESSARILY CLAMORING TO COME TO EDUCATION, NOR BE EXCITED ABOUT IT.

AND SO IT IS YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS.

SO, YES, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

AND THEN IN A MINUTE OR TWO, WE'LL DO A CONSENT AGENDA.

AND THAT'S WHERE IF THE BOARD APPROVES, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

JUST CALL KEITH ONE MORE TIME.

SO JOE'S GOING TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION PART OF THE ROOM.

GET THE GAS. LET'S GO.

OH, THAT'S A CAR PRESENTATION.

OH, THAT'S AWESOME. NEXT.

YES. BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND THE

[2.A. Effectiveness Report on Technology Program]

REALLY, I COULDN'T DO WHAT I DO EVERY DAY IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST GROUP OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR US. THE TEAM, ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNGER FOLKS WHO WANT TO COME TO WORK WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND THE SENSE OF PURPOSE BEGINS AT THE TOP.

AND DR. MCCORD IS REALLY SET IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE, YOU KNOW, SERVING STUDENTS IS OUR PURPOSE AND IT'S AN EVERYDAY THING, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY NORMAL IN I.T.

SUPPORT WORLD AT LARGE.

BUT IT MAKES THE CONVERSATIONS EASY AS WE HAVE DIFFICULT TIMES OR CONFLICT.

AND IF I WAS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL, MY ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, MICHELLE TAYLOR, IS WITH US TONIGHT. I WOULD ASK HER TO STAND UP, BUT IT REALLY MATTERS.

JOKES NORMALLY IN MY PRESENTATION KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE YEAR AND HOW

[00:35:04]

AND I THINK THAT REALLY MOLDS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS COMING UP WITH INNOVATIVE RESPONSES TO CHALLENGES.

YOU KNOW, ANYTIME YOU HAVE A GREAT NEED, THERE'S GREAT INNOVATION.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE THIS YEAR WAS A PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENER, IF YOU WILL, THAT AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO OUT AND YOU LOOK FOR NEW FOLKS, WE HAD SOME OPENINGS. YOU WANT TO GET THE BEST FEEL FOR THE CULTURE, THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR TEAM.

AND THIS ALLOWED US BEFORE HAVING FACE TO FACE DISCUSSIONS, TO TAKE A LOOK AT COGNITIVE ABILITIES AND PERSONALITY.

AND REALLY IT WAS VERY ACCURATE.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT ALONG WITH OUR FACE TO FACE INTERVIEWS, WE GOT SOME GREAT NEW MEMBERS IN OUR GROUP.

BUT AS FAR AS WHAT LESSONS WE LEARN, REALLY PERSONALIZED LEARNING AND 1 TO 1 MOBILITY AND COMMUNICATION WERE KEY.

AND IT'S REALLY A TEAM SPORT.

AND MANY PEOPLE IN HERE ASSISTED.

IN THE COURSE OF THE WEEK, WE HANDED OUT CLOSE TO 11,000 DEVICES.

THAT'S ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 2000 A DAY.

AND THAT COULDN'T BE DONE WITHOUT THE GROUP EFFORT EFFORTS BOTH AT THE CAMPUSES.

[INAUDIBLE] SHE'S ACTUALLY HOLDING AN IPAD.

[INAUDIBLE] BUT REALLY CONNECTIVITY AND CYBERSECURITY WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS THE SAME SAFE ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY HAVE AT SCHOOL WHEN THEY WENT HOME.

AS FAR AS COMMUNICATION, YOU KNOW, TEAMS WASN'T JUST FOR MEETINGS ANYMORE, IT WAS PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES.

WE DID SOME STREAMING OF LIVE EVENTS SO THAT GRANDPARENTS AND OTHER FOLKS COULD ATTEND.

WHETHER THAT WAS THE GRADUATION SPELLING BEE, WE HAD MANY EVENTS THROUGH THAT AND THEN INTEGRATED IT INTO OUR PHONE SYSTEM.

EVERYBODY LIKES THE TALK ABOUT BANDWIDTH AND WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE LEASES ON SOME DARK [INAUDIBLE] WHICH ALLOWS US TO TURN OUR BANDWIDTH UP AND DOWN AS THE NEEDS CHANGE.

BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, IN THE SUMMER IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME AS IT IS IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. SO AND THE STUDENTS WAS REALLY THE THE NEATEST PIECE OF IT.

WE WERE PREPARED TO ASSIST KIDS AT, ESPECIALLY THE LOWER GRADES.

WHAT WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR IS ASSISTING THE PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WHEN WE HANDED THEM OUT. AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF MY GROUP DURING THE CLOSURE WAS HERE IN PERSON WITH THE BLUE GLOVES ON AND THE MASKS AND KIND OF ON THE FRONT LINES IF YOU WERE.

AND I THINK IT WENT VERY SMOOTHLY, THERE'S ALWAYS THINGS THAT WE COULD DO BETTER.

AND OUR GOAL FOR NEXT YEAR IS WHEN WE GET READY FOR THEM, FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF DEVICES TO BASICALLY MAKE IT SIMILAR TO CHECKING OUT A BOOK IN THE LIBRARY.

THE WORK'S DONE ON THE FRONT END.

WE MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENT IS CORRECT AND THEN THEY GET THE DEVICE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE ROUNDUP AND REFRESH THIS SUMMER.

AND THE OTHER PIECE WE LEARNED WAS THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IS REAL.

WE HAVE A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE BROADBAND AT HOME, THEN DON'T HAVE A DEVICE.

AND THERE'S SOME STATE INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT LEVERAGING.

WE HAVE HOTSPOTS AVAILABLE.

BUT WHAT I CAN SAY FROM TWO YEARS AGO TO LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR, THERE WASN'T A NEED WHETHER IT WAS A STAFF OR A STUDENT THAT WASN'T MANNED, ANYBODY THAT NEEDED A DEVICE GOT A DEVICE. EVEN BEFORE WE WERE 1 TO 1, ANYBODY THAT NEEDED ACCESS AT HOME GOT ACCESS AT HOME. AND IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO 1 TO 1 AND MOST DISTRICTS DON'T DO IT IN ONE YEAR, PRE-K THROUGH 12, THEY PHASE IT IN.

THIS WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU HAD BESIDES YOUR LOCAL FUNDING, YOU HAD STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS THAT IN MANY CASES THE PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT WAS REALLY, REALLY LARGE.

AND SO IF THERE WAS A YEAR TO GO THAT DIRECTION, THIS WAS DEFINITELY IT.

[00:40:05]

WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE THE NEW FOOTPRINT FOR THE NEW SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS THE EXISTING SCHOOLS, WHICH WILL BE BASED AROUND MOBILITY, CONNECTIVITY, AND THE TEACHER NOT BEING TETHERED AT THE FRONT FOR A PRESENTATION, BUT ALLOWING THE STUDENTS TO EITHER WORK IN SMALL GROUPS OR ANYBODY IN THE CLASSROOM TO SHARE THEIR SCREEN.

ALSO, WE LAUNCHED LINKEDIN LEARNING THIS WEEK AFTER SOME PILOT STUDIES.

AND WHAT THAT ALLOWS IS OUR STAFF TO SHARPEN THE SAW, IF YOU WILL, AND LEARN ON DEMAND ON THEIR OWN TIME. AND IT GOES BEYOND TECHNOLOGY SKILLS TO INCLUDE THINGS SUCH AS SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, WELLNESS, COMMUNICATION.

AND THOSE WERE THE TOP TWO FROM THIS WEEK THAT WE REVIEWED.

IT'S NOT MANDATORY.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER TOOL THAT THEY HAVE ACCESSIBLE TO THEM.

THERE IS BUSINESS, OFFICE FUNCTION, HR, LEADERSHIP, TIME MANAGEMENT.

IT'S JUST PRETTY MUCH ALL THERE.

SO IF YOU HAVE A LINKEDIN PROFILE, YOU GET A CERTIFICATE AND ALSO LEARNED THAT WHEN YOU GET A CERTIFICATE, THERE'S A SPOT THAT SAYS MAKE IT PUBLIC OR NOT.

YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO CLICK THAT UNLESS YOU WANT IT PUBLIC, BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THE CYBERSECURITY OF WHAT I WAS TAKING, I JUST CLICKED OVER.

GO AHEAD. AND THEN SOME OF MY PEERS, WERE LIKE CONGRATULATIONS, WAY TO GO.

WHEN I WAS LIKE, I DON'T THINK I'LL BE CLICKING ANYMORE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY THINK I NEED SOME TIME MANAGEMENT OR SOMETHING.

SO AS WE LOOK FORWARD, WE'LL LEARN FROM THE PAST, APPLY WHAT HAS WORKED AND IMPROVE ON THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING IT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I WOULD JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ALL YOU DO EVERY DAY, ALL YOU'VE DONE.

EVERYBODY JUST REMINDS ME, LOOKING BACK AT THE [LAUGHING] HOW YOU PUT RHONDA INTO THE TECHNOLOGY PROCESS.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS FIELD THAT WON ALL THE AWARDS, SHE'S LIKE, YOU COULD PUT A LITTLE CLICK. THANKS FOR THE TIP, BUT THANK YOU, JOE.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEAM AS WE LOOK BACK.

AND THAT ROAD I LIKE THE ROAD BECAUSE IT'S NOT A STRAIGHT ROAD.

IT'S DOWNS, NO SIT DOWNS.

BUT YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AND GREAT AT INTERFACING AND CONNECTING.

AND WHEN I MEAN CONNECTING, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE VERB PERSON TO PERSON CONNECTING AS A VERB ACTION TERM WITH CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION TEACHERS WITH ALL THE 1 TO 1.

SO APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH.

AND [INAUDIBLE] MR. BARNETT, I WILL TELL YOU, AS SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN DOWN THE ROAD THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS SUMMER, YOUR POCKETBOOK WILL HEAL.

BACK TO BACK WEDDINGS. I KNOW, RIGHT? [INAUDIBLE] 2020 BOND CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.

[2.B. Construction Update]

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHICH WILL DUB AS THE TORNADO SHELTER.

THIS IS MORE SLAB, MORE FOUR FOOT CME WALL.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SLAB THAT'S POURED AND READY FOR THE GYM AREA.

THAT'S WHERE THAT BE LOCATED.

AND THEN THIS IS THE [INAUDIBLE] THAT IS READY FOR THE PARKING LOT THAT WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. SO THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE SCHOOL.

AND THAT IS A SEWER LINE THAT IS BEING INSTALLED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN MORE STRUCTURAL STEEL.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL STEEL BEING THERE.

THAT'S IMPORTANT PART OF THE PUZZLE.

SO WE'RE GLAD THAT'S HERE.

THE PROJECT IS PROGRESSING WELL, SO WE'RE FULL SPEED AHEAD ON THAT PROJECT.

BASEBALL, SOFTBALL, TURF.

WE ARE DONE WITH BOTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD.

[00:45:03]

WE DO STILL HAVE SOME PUNCH OUT OF THIS ITEMS THAT WE HAVE TO FIX ON THE CHAMPION WALL, THE FENCE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY OUT OF JACKSBORO AND THEIR SHOP GOT HIT THE TORNADO.

SO THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FIRST PART OF THIS WEEK.

BUT I ACTUALLY GOT A CALL WHILE I WAS IN HERE FROM [INAUDIBLE], SO I'M SURE THEY'LL BE HERE MAYBE TOMORROW, THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK TO FINISH THAT UP.

BUT THIS IS THE NEW FLOORING IN THE SOFTBALL DUGOUT.

THERE'S THE BASEBALL FIELD.

I JUST TOOK TWO VIDEOS FROM THEIR BASELINE.

FROM THE FIRST BASELINE.

THEY HAVE THE SAME FLOORING IN THAT DUGOUT AS WELL.

SO WE'RE READY TO PUT A BOW ON THAT THAT JOB I'M DANG GLAD TO DO IT.

THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM, HVAC PROJECT.

WE HAVE INSTALLED 17 UNITS OF WEST WIND THAT WILL COMPLETE US OVER THERE IN NORTHRIDGE IS ALSO COMPLETE.

UPCOMING EVENTS.

[4.B.Upcoming Events]

AH BUSINESS PARTNERS LUNCHEON.

WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THOSE IN PERSON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. SO WE ARE GOING TO RE IGNITE THOSE BUSINESS PARTNERS LUNCHEONS.

AND SO WE HAVE ONE UPCOMING ON APRIL 20TH AND THEN THE SECOND UPCOMING EVENT THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

AND WE'RE TAKING A LOOK BACK AND CELEBRATING STUDENTS WHO SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE PRE KINDERGARTEN.

AND SO THIS IS MY 12TH YEAR IN THE DISTRICT.

BUT THE YEAR BEFORE I ARRIVED IN THE DISTRICT, FRENSHIP HAD MADE THE DECISION TO ADD A TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM.

AND AT THAT TIME WE STARTED THAT PROGRAM WITH THE PRE KINDERGARTEN CLASS AND A

[00:50:05]

AND THEN EACH YEAR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ALLOWED THE RESOURCES TO ADD A GRADE LEVEL.

AND WE'VE DONE THAT EVERY YEAR UNTIL THIS YEAR.

THAT GROUP OF STUDENTS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE MOVED IN, BUT SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE PRE KINDERGARTEN, FOUR YEARS OLD, AND THEY MADE IT ALL THE WAY.

THEY WILL GRADUATE BILITERATE AND BILINGUAL AND WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL SEAL ON THEIR TRANSCRIPT AND DIPLOMA.

AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

THIS IS OUR FIRST EVER DUAL LANGUAGE SENIOR BANQUET.

YOU CAN SEE THE FRENSHIP FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT.

I'VE SPOKEN WITH ALL OF YOU ABOUT THAT.

BUT IF ANYBODY LISTENING OR JOINING US ONLINE WANTS TO KNOW THEY CAN CONTACT TIFFANY TAYLOR. THEN WE HAVE A FRIENDSHIP STAFF APPRECIATION BANQUET.

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE TEXAS TECH FRAZIER ALUMNI PAVILION THIS YEAR.

IT'S MAYBE 11TH AT SIX SPRING FOOTBALL GAME.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE BANQUET.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

TOP TEN STUDENTS IN THE SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASS ARE RECOGNIZED.

AND THEN THE TWO BIG ONES, REECE GRADUATION MAY 19, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE THURSDAY 6 P.M.

THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST GRADUATION IN TWO YEARS TO HAVE AT THE USA.

SO I BELIEVE OUR LAST GRADUATION WAS IN MAY OF 2019 AND SO WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK THERE AND WE LOVED HAVING IT AT PEOPLE'S BANK STADIUM ON THE FIELD, BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT THE WEATHER'S GOING TO DO. SO IN MAY 20TH IS A FRIDAY.
