[1.G.1. Speech & Debate State Congress Qualifiers]

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH OUR SPEECH AND DEBATE STUDENTS TO COME UP.

AND PARENTS, IF YOU ALL WANT TO GO IN THE BACK TO TAKE PICTURES, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GO BACK THERE.

OKAY. OKAY.

SO WE WANT TO START BY CONGRATULATING THESE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH AND DEBATE STUDENTS.

THESE STUDENTS RECENTLY COMPETED IN A COMPETITION AND PLACED IN THE TOP THREE, LEAVING THEM A SPOT AT THE UIL STATE CONGRESS CONTEST.

ALL STATE CONGRESS IS A MOCK SESSION OF CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE, WHERE THE STUDENTS ACT AS REPRESENTATIVES AND DEBATE DEBATE OVER BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS THAT THE STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN THEMSELVES.

NOW, THIS GROUP WILL TRAVEL TO AUSTIN THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY TO COMPETE AT THE STATE COMPETITION.

AND TONIGHT, WE HAVE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH AND DEBATE SPONSOR HEATHER BYERS TO HELP US RECOGNIZE HER STUDENTS.

HEATHER. THANK YOU.

YES, I KNOW IT REALLY IS JUST INCREDIBLE THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THEY DO.

THEY GET A DOCKET OF 30 PIECES OF LEGISLATION AND THEY ARE ABLE TO ARGUE AND CONVERSE OVER ALL OF THOSE AND THE ROUNDS.

AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE DURING THAT ROUND.

SO THE AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE SKILL THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE TO ARGUE, BOTH SIDES ASK QUESTIONS, ANSWER QUESTIONS AFTER GIVING SPEECHES IS REALLY JUST PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

AND IT'S A PRETTY AWESOME THING TO WATCH.

AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO TAKE THEM TO STATE AGAIN THIS YEAR.

SO OUR THREE THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMPETING AT STATE ARE THE SELMA [INAUDIBLE], CORAL LUNA AND TATUM CAMERON, AND WE ALSO QUALIFIED TWO AS ALTERNATES TO STATE AND THEY WILL GO AND THEN SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN IN A SPOT OPEN UP THEY MIGHT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE AS WELL.

AND THAT IS MS JILLIAN JONES AND [INAUDIBLE] HERNANDEZ.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

VERY PROUD OF YOU. WHAT A GREAT SKILL.

THE GREAT SKILL. TIFFANY, I APOLOGIZE.

PROFESSIONAL. SHE WAS SELECTED BY THE CHAMBER.

YES. SELECTED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AND SHE WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 20 YOUNG AND UPCOMING LEADERS IN LUBBOCK.

SO I'M WAITING FOR THE 50 UNDER 60.

SO MAYBE I CAN SNEAK IN.

YEAH. CONGRATULATIONS.

[00:05:03]

[1.G.2. National Spanish Spelling Bee Qualifier]

AND [INAUDIBLE] IF YOU WANT TO.

OKAY. SO TONIGHT WE'RE RECOGNIZING WE'LL HAVE IN FIFTH GRADERS CEASAR GUZMAN.

HE'S HEADED TO THE NATIONAL SPANISH SPELLING BEE COMPETITION THIS SUMMER.

SO CEASAR IS THE FIFTH STUDENT IN FRENSHIP'S HISTORY TO ADVANCE TO THE NATIONAL COMPETITION.

AND HIS WIN MARKS THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR THAT WE'VE HAD A WILLOW BEND STUDENT QUALIFY FOR THE NATIONAL SPANISH SPELLING BEE.

I THINK I RECENTLY WON FIRST PLACE IN THE AREA, SPANISH SPELLING BEE HOSTED BY TEXAS TECH, ALLOWING HIM TO MOVE ON TO THE NATIONAL COMPETITION.

AND THIS IS WHAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

NOT ONLY DID HE COMPETE AGAINST OTHER ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ACROSS LUBBOCK, BUT HE ALSO WENT UP AGAINST MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND WELL AS WELL, AND TOOK HOME THE FIRST PLACE PRIZE. AND SO.

[APPLAUSE]. WE HAVE FRENSHIP ISD BILINGUAL AND ESL COORDINATOR SINAN CRUZE AND WILLOW BEND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SKYLAR RODDY TO HELP US RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS.

THIS IS FOR YOU. SINCE I WORKED SO HARD, IT WAS A VERY INTENSE COMPETITION THIS YEAR.

I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM AND HOW HE HANDLED WINNING.

HE'S BEEN IN A LOT OF HARD WORK THIS YEAR.

WE'RE SUPER PROUD OF HIM. YES.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK.

HELLO. OKAY.

[1.G.4. Twirling State Solo and Ensemble Contest Qualifiers]

OUT OF THE SEVEN FRENSHIP TWIRLERS WHO COMPETED IN THE COMPETITION THIS LAST MONTH, FIVE ARE IN DIVISION ONE SUPERIOR RATINGS AND WILL ADVANCE TO THE STATE CONTEST.

NOW, THESE SAME FIVE TWIRLERS ALSO COMPETED AS A GROUP FOR THE ENSEMBLE CONTEST, WHERE THEY AGAIN EARNED A SUPERIOR RATING, EARNING A SPOT AT THE STATE EARNING SPOT EARNING A SPOT AT STATE ALSO FOR ENSEMBLE.

FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL, A DIRECTOR OF BANDS, DR.

RYAN SMITH AND TWIRLING COACH AMANDA TULLY ARE HERE TONIGHT TO HELP US RECOGNIZE THE STUDENTS.

I THINK THESE LADIES ARE MORE NERVOUS RIGHT NOW STANDING HERE INSTEAD OF NOT HAVING TO THROW ANYTHING OR [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE AND RECOGNIZE OUR MULTI TALENTED STUDENTS.

ALL FIVE OF THESE STUDENTS HERE ARE NOT ONLY SKILLED AT BATON TWIRLING, BUT ALL THESE STUDENTS ARE ALSO VERY TALENTED MUSICIANS IN THE CONCERT BANDS.

AND THESE STUDENTS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE MARCHING THE STATE MARCHING CONTEST WITH THE MARCHING BAND.

THESE STUDENTS PRACTICE HOURS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SKILLED ON THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL INSTRUMENTS, MAKING SURE THEIR GRADES ARE OF HIGH MARKS, AND FINDING TIME TO PRACTICE THEIR INDIVIDUAL ROUTINES AND THEIR ENSEMBLE ROUTINE.

SO FIRST OF ALL, THOUGH, PLEASE HELP ME THANK THEIR TWIRLING COACH WHO CHOREOGRAPHS AND INSTRUCTS THE VARSITY LINE.

MISS AMANDA TULLY.

THE SUCCESS OF THESE STUDENTS ARE LARGELY DUE TO HER DEDICATION IN WEEKLY INSTRUCTION.

SO ALL FIVE OF THESE STUDENTS, AS TIFFANY JUST TALKED ABOUT, PREPARED A SOLO AND THEY RECEIVED A DIVISION ONE SUPERIOR RATING, AND THEY COLLECTIVELY PERFORMED AN ENSEMBLE WHERE THEY ALSO RECEIVED A DIVISION ONE SUPERIOR RATING.

THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE AT THE STATE SOLO AND ENSEMBLE ON MAY 27.

SO ON THE VARSITY LINE, WE HAVE KIARA BLAKE, WE HAVE RACHEL [INAUDIBLE], EMMA CARTER, [INAUDIBLE] JOSLIN, AND EMORY FARR.

[APPLAUSE] PERFECT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU, MR. DRAPER. THAT WRAPS UP OUR STUDENT RECOGNITIONS FOR TONIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE SPOKE AND SURELY MADE A POINT OF WHICH HE HAS A PRESENTATION TO MAKE.

[INAUDIBLE]. WOULD YOU COME BACK UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE PENDING BOARD APPROVALS HERE IN A MOMENT, ONE OF THOSE.

WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON ANYTHING YET, BUT WITH THE BOARD'S APPROVAL, WHEN WE GET TO THE ROUTINE DISTRICT OPERATIONS IN WHICH THEY TAKE A VOTE ON RESIGNATIONS AND HIRES.

MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT SHE WAS INTRODUCED A MOMENT AGO AS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT WILLOW BEND.

AND AS YOU ALL RECALL, I THINK IT WAS WAS IT LAST MONTH THAT WE BROUGHT JENNIFER PEARCE BEFORE YOU.

SHE IS NOW BEEN SERVING, GOSH, ALMOST TWO OR THREE WEEKS AS THE SPECIAL ED DIRECTOR.

AND SINCE JENNIFER DEPARTED CAME OVER HERE, SCHUYLER HAS BEEN SERVING IN THE ROLE AS PRINCIPAL.

AND IN MY OPINION, SHE'S READY TO BE.

AND SO THIS AFTERNOON, YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS STAFF TO HEAR BEFORE IT GETS BROADCAST TO ANYONE ELSE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE FRONT LINES WITH YOU EVERY DAY.

[00:15:04]

WHEN I TOLD THE STAFF THAT I WOULD BE RECOMMENDING SCHUYLER THIS EVENING.

SO, SKYLER, DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM? SHE HAS A LOT OF REALLY WISE THINGS TO SAY SO.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WORDS OF WISDOM.

I'M JUST REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I'VE LOVED ALL OF MY TIME AT FRENSHIP SO FAR.

AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE SERVING.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LET ME THROW THIS OUT THERE, DR.

MCCORD AND I WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS LATTER PART OF LAST WEEK AND AGAIN TODAY.

IT IS DR.

MCCORD'S FULL POWER AND RECOMMENDATIONS SHE CAN APPOINT WHOEVER SHE DEEMS IS QUALIFIED TO BE THE PRINCIPAL.

HOWEVER, SHE DOES GO A STEP FURTHER AND GIVES AN HONORARY FOR THE BOARD TO VOTE UPON.

SO CONGRATULATIONS AND WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] YES, IT IS.

YES.

SO, GREG ROBINSON, IF YOU'LL COME TO THE PODIUM, WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS ON VIDEO.

[1.G.5. Board Member Service Award]

ONE OF THEM DOESN'T LOOK FAMILIAR AT ALL.

I DON'T THINK I'VE MET THE GRANDCHILD.

SO ANYWAY, BUT I SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES AND, OH, MY GOODNESS, THIS IS RILEY AND MATTHEW AND ANGELA.

AND I ALSO DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER MET YOU, LEXIE.

YES. AND SO GREG TALKED TO ME THIS SUMMER ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE OUR THE WEEK BEFORE WE GET ON THE MAT.

WHEN YOU'RE ON THE MAT, YOU'RE ON THE CAMERA.

BUT IT WAS, I THINK, JULY OR AUGUST, AND WE HAD OUR ONE ON ONE MEETINGS.

SO I MEET INDIVIDUALLY WITH EACH BOARD MEMBER THE WEEK PRIOR TO OUR BOARD MEETING, SO WE CAN JUST TALK ABOUT THE BOARD AGENDA, DISCUSS ANY HOT TOPICS, THAT KIND OF THING.

AND SO HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS THINKING ABOUT ROLLING OFF THE BOARD.

AND SO AND GREG WAS ONE OF THE FIVE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE STILL HERE WHO SERVE.

THAT TOOK A CHANCE ON ME IN MAY OF 2015 WHEN THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT LEFT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT EASY WORK THAT THAT I DO OR ANY OF THE THEY CALL THEMSELVES EDUCATORS.

IF YOU GET A PAYCHECK FROM HERE, THEN YOU'RE AN EDUCATOR.

IT'S NOT EASY WORK, BUT IT'S OUR CAREER.

IT'S THE WAY WE MAKE OUR LIVING.

BUT THESE SIX THAT ARE UP HERE AND THIS ONE STANDING HERE, THEY VOLUNTEER.

I BROUGHT KLEENEX. I LEFT THEM OVER HERE.

BUT THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT.

THEY SACRIFICE TIME WITH THEIR OWN KIDS, THEIR OWN FAMILIES FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

AND ALL OF THEM DO THAT.

BUT WORDS REALLY, THAT I WOULD JUST I COULD STAND HERE A LONG TIME AND CRY A LOT.

BUT THE WORDS THAT I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE GREG ARE HIS WILLINGNESS.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T WILLING ANYMORE TO STAND UP AND SERVE IN A ROLE THAT'S NOT ONLY VOLUNTEER, BUT YOU DON'T GET TO SIT IN THE CHEAP SEATS AND THROW STONES AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THE HARD DECISIONS.

YOU'RE SITTING UP THERE IN THE ARENA AND YOU'RE TRYING TO TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THE MOST, BUT THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS POPULAR.

AND SO GREG HAS GOTTEN TO BE MY FRIEND OVER THE YEARS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS FOR FRIENDSHIP, THE GROWTH OPENING OF NEW SCHOOLS.

AND THE STUDENTS HAVE WON SO MANY AWARDS AND THE STAFF HAS WON AWARDS.

BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, BUT IT'S FOR ME, IT'S NOT IN THE MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCES THAT YOU REALLY GET TO KNOW SOMEONE.

[00:20:06]

AND WE WENT THROUGH A PANDEMIC AND THROUGH THE LOTS OF LOSSES.

GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES, A LOT OF EMAILS, A LOT OF PHONE CALLS.

LIKE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS.

BUT BUT THEY DO BELIEVE IT.

AND THEY'RE LIKE, TEASE ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEY KNOW THAT I'M NOT EVER CALLING TO JUST TELL THEM WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY'RE DOING.

THANKS FOR THEIR SERVICE.

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE.

BUT ANYWAY, AND GREG IS WILLING GREG IS A SERVANT LEADER.

HE REALLY GETS THAT PART RIGHT WHERE HE CAME AND IS ON THIS EARTH TO SERVE, NOT BE SERVED.

AND HE IS A REALLY GREAT LISTENER.

AND WHEN HE TALKS, YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE'S SAYING BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO OFFER JUST ANY RANDOM SOMETHING LIKE I WOULD AND JUST BLABBER, KIND OF LIKE I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.

AND HE HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY.

AND HE HE ALSO KNOWS WHO HE IS.

HE KNOWS WHO HE IS.

HE KNOWS WHAT HE STANDS FOR.

AND HE'S WILLING TO TAKE A STAND AND TO STAND HIS GROUND.

AND SO WE HAVE THIS FOR YOU.

SO I'LL TURN IT THIS WAY AND THEN I'LL TURN IT BACK THE OTHER WAY.

AND SO WHAT YOU SEE IS, GREG, ONE OF THE VERY FEW THINGS YOU GET TO DO THAT'S WORTHWHILE AS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IS YOU GET TO HAND THE DIPLOMA TO YOUR CHILDREN.

AND SO WE HAVE HIM GIVING HIS DIPLOMA TO MATTHEW AND THEN RILEY.

AND THEN JUST IT SAYS YOUR INFLUENCE WILL NEVER BE ERASED.

FRENSHIP ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2013 TO 2022.

AND THEN THAT'S WHY YOUR NAMEPLATE.

WE DIDN'T JUST THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE.

[INAUDIBLE] BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU JUST GET BY THIS EASY.

THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO DR.

MCCORD'S WORDS, AND THEY RANG SO TRUE IN THE LAST 17 TO 18 YEARS THAT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW GREG.

GREG IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST MEN THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY.

HE'S A MAN OF FAITH.

HE NOT ONLY SAYS IT, HE LIVES IT.

HE DOES IT BY EXAMPLE.

HE'S DONE IT BY ACTUALLY HAVING THE SERVANT'S HEART.

INTEGRITY IS THERE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN GREG ROBINSON RUN FROM A PROBLEM.

AND I THINK I WANT TO TELL THE ROBINSON FAMILY, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE HIM FOR AS LONG AS WE DID.

HE'S GOING TO BE AN EXTREMELY HARD MEMBER TO REPLACE.

AND I WISH YOU AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS A BUSINESS OWNER AND GOING FURTHER DOWN THAT ROAD, AND YOU'RE DOING IT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE THERE IF WE NEED YOU.

I APPRECIATE IT, GREG. THANK YOU.

LOTS OF COMMITTEES COMING YOUR WAY.

WAS PROBABLY LIKE, REALLY TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE KNOW THIS IS WAY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE TO BE UP HERE AND, YOU KNOW, ABOVE AND BEYOND AND ALL THE NICE THINGS.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL DO ALL THE WORK.

I WAS A SMALL PART, AND I HOPE THAT I MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT, POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION.

AND I JUST WANT TO THANK MY FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY FOR LETTING ME SERVE.

AND I THINK ALL OF YOU ARE DEAR FRIENDS OF MINE.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANKS. GREG, I JUST WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE THAT'S GOING TO SIT IN THAT CHAIR, BUT

[00:25:06]

AND I'M SURE THERE'LL BE A THEY'LL BE GREAT.

I'M SURE APPRECIATE THAT THOUGH.

[2.A. Proposed middle school attendance zones (revised) presentation]

THIS IS A REVISED PRESENTATION AFTER PUBLIC INPUT.

YES, SIR. SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MS. DRAPER BOARD. JUST TO REMIND YOU, WE HAD THREE TOWN HALL MEETINGS CONCERNING BOUNDARIES FOR THE FOURTH MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WE ALSO HAD AN EMAIL AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO EMAIL CONCERNS OR COMMENTS.

THESE COMMENTS AND EMAILS HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH YOU GUYS PREVIOUSLY.

WE REVIEWED THE COMMENTS, WORKED WITH OUR DEMOGRAPHER AND REVISE OUR BOUNDARIES.

THESE COMMENTS AND THE FUTURE GROWTH AND OPENING OF ADDITIONAL ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL.

ALL OF THAT KEPT IN MIND.

HERE ARE THE PROPOSED BOUNDARIES THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED.

THIS IS THE CURRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL BOUNDARIES.

IF YOU REMEMBER BACK, THE FIRST ORIGINAL SCENARIO WAS THIS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS IN FRONT OF YOU.

THE REVISED SCENARIO WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.

[INAUDIBLE] SO WE MOVED FROM ALCOVE OVER TO 179.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THAT, BUT THAT IS PLANNING UNIT 3C WILL BE A PART OF TERRA VISTA NOW.

THEN IT COMES DOWN ACROSS 34TH DOWN MILWAUKEE AND THEN CUTS BACK MARCIA SHARP ACROSS 82ND UP RESEARCH BOULEVARD AND THEN ACROSS 66, AND THEN COMES DOWN HERE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DOWN LIKE THAT.

THAT IS SCENARIO A.

SO THIS WOULD BE HERITAGE IN THIS AREA.

THIS WOULD BE MIDDLE SCHOOL NUMBER FOUR.

ALL OF THIS HERE, THIS WOULD ALL BE FRENSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEN TERRA VISTA WOULD BE UP HERE.

SO THAT'S SCENARIO A AND AGAIN, WITH KNOWING WE'RE GOING TO OPEN ANOTHER ELEMENTARY AND ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL.

THE NUMBERS ON THIS ONE PLAY OUT PRETTY GOOD.

THEY START OFF THE FIRST FIRST YEAR, EVERYBODY PRETTY EVEN MIDDLE SCHOOL NUMBER FOUR OBVIOUSLY LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE LAGGING BEHIND, BUT THEY'LL CATCH UP PRETTY QUICK.

WE GET OVER HERE TO 29, 30, 28, 29, 29, 30, AND FRENSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL STARTS FILLING UP PRETTY QUICKLY BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHERS REPORTS.

SO THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT ARE BASED ON THAT SCENARIO.

A REVISED.

SO SCENARIO B THE ORIGINAL.

THE BIGGEST CHANGE HERE WAS IT CAME DOWN MARCIA SHARP AND CUT AROUND [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT THERE AT RESURGENT AND BACK ACROSS 82ND.

WHEN WE MADE THE CHANGES IN THIS ONE WE PULLED THAT BACK, WENT BACK ACROSS 82ND UP RESEARCH AND ACROSS 66.

THIS LITTLE CORNER RIGHT HERE WAS PULLED INTO HERITAGE AND THEN 23 B WAS PULLED INTO HERITAGE.

3C IS ALSO LEFT INTO TERRA VISTA UP HERE AS WELL.

AND SO THAT MOVED FROM ALCOVE OVER AT 179.

AND SO LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS FOR THIS ONE, AGAIN, THEY START OUT WITH FRENSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE FOURTH MIDDLE SCHOOL, A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THE

[00:30:08]

AND IF YOU GO OUT TO 2031, WE ALL HAVE NUMBERS THAT ARE WORKABLE ON OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

SO GOING FORWARD FROM HERE, THE DECEMBER BOARD MEETING, WE RECOMMEND PROPOSED ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES ON THIS DISCUSSION ITEM AND PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT, WHICH WE'LL DO HERE IN A SECOND.

AND THEN JANUARY BOARD MEETING, WE'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

ADMINISTRATION WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND THE BOARD OF THE VOTE, THE BOARD WILL GET TO VOTE ON THAT.

AND THEN IN THE SPRING WE'LL CREATE THE GRANDFATHERING GUIDELINES AND SHARE THOSE WITH THE PUBLIC.

THESE REVISED BOUNDARIES WERE SHARED WITH.

THROUGH EMAIL, SCOUT OR E MAIL TO ALL THE PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT AND ALSO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER ITEMS LIKE THAT.

RIGHT. YEAH. RICHARD, I THINK YOU SAID THIS AT THE BEGINNING, BUT I WAS [INAUDIBLE] SO BUT I THINK YOU MENTIONED THIS, BUT ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE REVISIONS WAS BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM WE SEE WE SET UP A WE STOOD UP AN EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE YOU COULD SEND YOUR FEEDBACK.

WE DID THE THREE TOWN HALLS, WE RECORDED THE TOWN HALLS, POSTED THE TOWN HALL ON OUR WEBSITE, SO THAT IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GO AND YOU COULD WATCH THOSE.

AND SO IT WAS BASED ON.

AND THEN WE HAD A BOARD WORKSHOP AFTER THAT.

AND SO WE BROUGHT ALL OF THE INFORMATION TOGETHER AND THE FEEDBACK.

AND FROM THAT CAME A COUPLE OF REVISIONS, NOT NOT REVISIONS, BUT A FEW MINOR THINGS FOR OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD, THE TWO OPTIONS.

AND SO AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ITEM ON HERE FOR THE BOARD TO DISCUSS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO [INAUDIBLE] YOU STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT.

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED MIDDLE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ZONE.

[2.B. Public hearing on the proposed middle school attendance zones ]

[INAUDIBLE] IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

ITEM C IS PROPOSED MIDDLE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ZONES DISCUSSION.

[2.C. Proposed middle school attendance zones discussion]

SO IF THE BOARD HAS ANY COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSAL ZONES.

AND ALSO IF IT'S OK.

MR. DRAPER I HAVE ASKED RICHARD TO SHARE WHAT ADMINISTRATION SEES IS SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS FOR REVISED OPTION A AND SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS OF REVISED OPTION B.

OUT AHEAD OF THIS MEETING FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT VIA SKYWARD ASSUME AND THEN ON THE FACE TELL ME HOW THEY WERE SO THAT PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THE [INAUDIBLE].

SO I DON'T SCOURED EMAIL SO THE PRIMARY EMAIL ON ALL OF OUR SKYWARDS AND THEN IT WAS PLACED ON OUR FACEBOOK, IT WAS PLACED ON OUR WEBSITE.

IT WAS ALSO ON THE NEWS THIS AFTERNOON, THE NEWS AT NOON WITH THE NEW REVISED THAT WE WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

SO IT WAS PEOPLE WERE MADE AWARE.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PUBLICITY ABOUT IT AND.

OKAY. WE GOT WHAT WE GOT.

I UNDERSTAND. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS UNDERSTOOD.

WELL, THE BOARD ALSO HAD A WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS THESE BOUNDARIES AND AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM THE OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS ON THE ATTENDANCE ZONES.

I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST OR 2ND OF NOVEMBER.

I THINK THAT ALL THE EMAILS THAT WE GOT WERE SHARED AS WELL AND CONSIDERED IN THIS.

YES. SO IF YOU WOULD SHARE THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION'S OPINIONS.

AND I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM AT THIS TIME.

THIS IS MAINLY INFORMATIONAL.

[00:35:02]

THAT BEING FMS WOULD HAVE 49% LOW SES, TERRA VISTA WOULD HAVE 63% LOW SES HERITAGE WOULD HAVE 44% LOW SES AND NUMBER FOUR WOULD HAVE 53% LOW SES.

SOME OF THE CONS IT DIVIDES THREE ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES WILLOW BEND [INAUDIBLE] HAVE ALREADY BEING SPLIT.

IT WOULD ADD [INAUDIBLE] BEING SPLIT.

THE ELEMENTARY BOUNDARIES, THOUGH, ARE GOING TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN NEXT YEAR WHEN WE GO GET READY TO WORK ON NUMBER NINE.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

THERE ARE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DISPARITY IN THE POPULATION AMONG THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS BY THE TIME WE GET TO 2031 WITH OPTION A, WITH OPTION B, SOME OF THE PROS, AGAIN, THE DEMOGRAPHICS REMAIN SIMILAR ACROSS ALL CAMPUSES.

OPTION B SAYS 43% SERVICE TO REMAINS AT 63, HERITAGE REMAINS AT 44%, AND NUMBER FOUR MOVES UP TO 62%. THE POPULATIONS AT ALL FOUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE SIMILAR THROUGHOUT ARE THROUGH 2031, 2032, WITH LITTLE DISPARITY AT THE FIRST AND THEN SOME OF THE CONS THE FIRST YEAR.

AGAIN, THE POPULATIONS ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN FMS AND NUMBER FOUR THAN THE OTHER TWO AND IT DIVIDES FOUR ELEMENTARIES [INAUDIBLE] AND ARE CURRENTLY DIVIDED AND THEN UPLAND HEIGHTS AND BENNETT WOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED AS BEING SPLIT.

BUT AGAIN, THE ELEMENTARY BOUNDARIES ARE CHANGING NEXT YEAR AND THESE PROJECTIONS, HOWEVER, RIVAL THEIR PROJECTIONS.

AND SO THAT WE GET AWAY FROM TODAY, THE MORE CHANCE THERE ARE FOR ERRORS DEPENDING ON WHAT OCCURS IN THE FUTURE, WE MAY HAVE TO REVISIT THIS IF WE CONTINUE TO GROW IN CERTAIN AREAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING THIS THE WHOLE TIME, TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN BY WE'RE GOING TO SPLIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

SO ELEMENTARY BOUNDARIES ARE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS.

AND SO WHEN THEY GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, SOME OF THEM FROM THAT CAMPUS MAY HAVE TO GO TO THIS MIDDLE SCHOOL, SOME MAY HAVE TO GO TO THIS MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND SO WHEN WE SAY SPLIT THAT BASICALLY WHEN THEY GO FROM FIFTH GRADE TO SIXTH GRADE, THEY END UP GOING TO DIFFERENT MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

AND WE'RE STILL SCHEDULED TO OPEN ANOTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE FALL OF 24.

AN ELEMENTARY. ELEMENTARY, I'M SORRY, NOT ANOTHER MIDDLE WE'RE SCHEDULED TO OPEN ANOTHER ELEMENTARY IN THE FALL OF 24, WHICH MEANS ALL WE'LL HAVE A REDRAWING OF ELEMENTARY LINES AT THAT TIME AS WELL, I MEAN, IT'S IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS THOSE MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT WE'RE OPENING.

YES. AND I'M GLAD YOU CORRECTED THAT BECAUSE DEREK WAS STROKING [INAUDIBLE].

WELL, I JUST MAKE THE POINT THAT SO THAT THE ELEMENTARY LINES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY WILL BE ALL WILL BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY'LL BE A NEW ELEMENTARY IN THE MIX. WE'LL HAVE TO ADDRESS THOSE NEXT YEAR AS WE GET READY FOR THAT ELEMENTARY.

BUT WE'VE WORKED WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER AND, YOU KNOW, AND STUDIED IT, AS HAVE YOU ALL, IN TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT YEAR OVER YEAR TO FAMILIES.

BUT AND, RICHARD, I THINK YOU MENTIONED THIS, BUT JUST TO TO REITERATE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE CAMPUSES ELEMENTARY. SO WHERE YOU GO TO ELEMENTARY IS BASED ON YOUR ADDRESS.

AND WE DON'T HAVE WHAT WOULD BE CALLED A PURE FEEDER SYSTEM INTO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

NOW, WE COULDN'T BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTARY SEATING.

WE HAVE EIGHT ELEMENTARIES FEEDING INTO THREE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

AND SO BASICALLY, I THINK NOW WEST WIND IS ONE OF THE CAMPUSES THAT IS THEY DON'T ALL GO TO THE SAME MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SO SOME OF THEM GO TO TERRA VISTA AND SOME GO TO HERITAGE.

AND I BELIEVE WILLOW BEND IS ALSO SOME OF THEM GO TO FMS AND SOME GO TO TERRA VISTA.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S THE ONLY TWO.

OKAY. AND I THINK ADD TO THAT ANYBODY THAT DRIVES AROUND IN THIS DISTRICT, THERE'S NOT A PIECE OF LAND THAT IS NOT TURNED OVER AND BEING DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW.

SO THESE WE'RE RIGHT IN THE GROWTH PATH OF LUBBOCK AND WOOLWORTH IS FIXIN TO MINUTE UNITED

[00:40:04]

AND IT'S JUST IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT COMES WITH GROWTH.

SO I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE DISTRICT AND YOU LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT'S GROWN, IT'S GROWN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD.

BUT YET OUR KIDS ALWAYS STILL STRIVE AND RISE TO THE TOP.

SO I THINK AS LONG AS THE MINDSET IS STILL THAT WAY AND WE ARE GOOD STEWARDS WITH WHAT TAX BASE WE GET AND ABLE TO PUT THOSE IN THE RIGHT PLACES, I THINK OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO BE GREAT.

AND AGAIN, THIS [INAUDIBLE] JUST INFORMATION.

ABSOLUTELY. AND I'M GOING TO ASK THIS QUESTION AND YOU CAN THROW ROCKS AT ME LATER.

THANK YOU, RICHARD. YES.

ANY I'M GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THE MEETING INDICATION WHERE YOU MIGHT BRING THIS BACK AS AN ACTUAL CHANGE.

AND ALL OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE HAD FOLLOWED AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL FOREIGN POLICY.

AND IT WE'VE HAD THAT POLICY IN PLACE SINCE, I THINK, 2009, SO THAT THE BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION HAS SPECIFIC STEPS THAT THEY FOLLOW THAT INCLUDE STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK AND BOARD MEMBER INPUT SO THAT WE CAN GET SOME OPINIONS BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY MAY SEE SOMETHING.

AND IN FACT, THEY DID SEE SOME THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T SEE AND WHICH HELPED US COME TO THE DECISION THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE REVISIONS TO OUR OPTIONS.

SO, SO STAY TUNED.

IN JANUARY, IT WILL BE AN ACTION ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH BOARD POLICY.

AND ANOTHER EXCITING THING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN JANUARY IS IT WILL HAVE A NAME.

WELL, IT WON'T HAVE IT WILL HAVE A NAME AFTER Y'ALL, NAME IT.

SO I WILL BRING TO YOU RECOMMENDATIONS.

I WILL HAVE. YES, WE WILL GO OVER.

WE'VE HAD OVER 1500 SUGGESTIONS AND I CAN I'M NOT WANT TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY, BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONE THAT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.

AND THAT IS SCHOOLY MCSCHOOL FACE THE MIDDLE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE NAME OF THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE.

ANDREW COX IS STILL IN THE RUNNING.

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS.

YES. MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ALL RIGHT.

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS.

BUT ANYWAY, THAT HAS BEEN FUN.

AND TIFFANY HAS REALLY REFINED THAT PROCESS.

SHE'S AWARD WINNING. AND NOT ONLY IS SHE WON 20 UNDER 40, SOME OF YOU THAT MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT SHE CAN THROW THINGS AT ME LATER.

BUT SHE ALSO IS AN EMMY WINNER.

AND I DON'T MEAN PRETEND EMMYS.

I MEAN LIKE A REAL EMMY.

SHE SITS IN HER OFFICE AND SHE WON AN EDWARD R MURROW AWARD.

SO, YES.

YES. SO WE NEED TO HAVE YOU ARE WE JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS? NO, BUT BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE AN EMMY.

AND I SAID, CAN YOU BRING IT SO I CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? SHE'S LIKE, IT'S IN MY OFFICE.

YOU'VE SEEN. BUT IT'S JUST A TROPHY.

YEAH, A LITTLE COOLER THAN JUST A TROPHY.

WELL, YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE, BUT IT WASN'T BEHIND GLASS OR ANYTHING IN THERE.

YEAH. YES, BUT AT ONE POINT, TIFFANY WAS.

I'M JUST GOING TO GO ON AND ON.

I'M TRYING TO SPEED THIS ALONG, BUT I THINK IF I HELD A COOKIE PAN WITH MUFFINS IN IT, IT WOULD BE DONE BY THE TIME WE FINISH THIS MEETING.

OH, YEAH. IT'S KIND OF WARM.

BUT YEAH.

TIFFANY AT ONE POINT WAS EMBEDDED WITH THE AIR FORCE.

LIKE, AS AN ARMY? YES, AS A REPORTER EMBEDDED WITH THE MILITARY THAT USED TO GO ON IN WARTIME.

SO I KNOW WE CAN KEEP GOING.

[00:45:01]

THAT'S JANUARY.

SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO MOVE TO THE BOARD MEETING SO WE CAN ALL GO ATTEND THIS DINNER.

OH, MAN. NO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.

OKAY. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3.A. Consent Agenda]

[3.B.1. Auditor's Report]

MR. REEVES. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN EMMY.

DID GET A WARM, FUZZY AWARD IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ONCE.

I AM SO GLAD THIS IS THE LAST BOARD MEETING OF THIS YEAR [INAUDIBLE].

I DO HAVE GOOD NEWS TO BRING TO YOU THE AUDIT FROM THE 2021 I'M SORRY, 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR CFC LEGAL REQUIRES THAT WE BRING FORTH INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO COMPLETE AND COMPLETE FUNCTION OF THE AUDIT.

AND THAT WAS [INAUDIBLE] BAILEY.

AND OUR LEAD AUDITOR IS MR. JEREMY STEVENS.

AND FROM THAT WE HAVE 150 DAYS FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER ONE, TO REPORT TO THE STATE OF TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY ON OUR FINDINGS, I AM PROUD TO INFORM YOU THAT WE DID HAVE AN UNMODIFIED OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

ONCE AGAIN, THERE WERE NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR AUDITS.

THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES REFLECTED IN OUR AUDIT NOR REPORTED AND NO INSTANCES OF NONCOMPLIANCE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, IN YOUR PACKET YOU HAD A COPY OF THE FINANCIAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND WE ALSO HAD THE SAS 114 AUDITOR'S LETTER, WHICH IDENTIFIES WHAT THE AUDIT FOR EDUCATION LOOKS AT.

YES, SIR, I HAVE A HARD COPY IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT AS WELL, SO YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT HARD COPY DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU AS WELL.

SO ANY QUESTIONS OF ME? ANY QUESTIONS. PROCEED ON, MR. REEVES. WITH THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THE 2021-22 FRENSHIP IOC ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022.

WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION.

WE RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL.

WE GOT IT OUT THERE. I WAS LIKE, OKAY, SO WE HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION'S RECOMMENDATION IN FRONT OF YOU BOARD, AND AT THIS TIME I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS.

MOVE FOR APPROVAL. SECOND.

MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY MIKELLA NEWSOM AND A SECOND BY MS. JAMEY PHILLIPS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. OPPOSE. MOTION CARRIES, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. REEVES, AND GOOD LUCK ON THAT EMMY.

[INAUDIBLE] WOW.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE TWO ACTION ITEM.

[3.B.2. Consideration and possible action to fill the Place 4 trustee vacancy pursuant to Board Policy BBC]

MS. [INAUDIBLE]? YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. DRAPER. ACCORDING TO BOARD POLICY, BBC LEGAL IF A VACANCY OCCURS ON THE BOARD, THE REMAINING BOARD MEMBERS MAY FILL THE VACANCY BY APPOINTMENT UNTIL THE NEXT TRUSTEE ELECTION.

AFTER ACCEPTING MR. ROBINSON'S RESIGNATION AT THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING.

THE BOARD FOLLOWED THE PROCESS, ACCORDING TO THE BOARD'S OPERATING PROCEDURES, AND MET WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE POSITION.

AND SO WE ADMINISTRATION THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION FROM ADMINISTRATION.

IT'S PURELY FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE ACTION TO APPOINT SOMEONE TO FILL MR.

[00:50:03]

SO WE DID MEET WITH A COUPLE OF INDIVIDUALS AND QUERIED THEM EXTENSIVELY.

I THINK WE HAD TWO EXTREMELY GOOD CANDIDATES, AND THIS IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION AT THIS TIME.

SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING THAT WOULD LIKE TO OFFER AS FAR AS COMMENT AND OR A MOTION, IT WILL BE ENTERTAINED AT THIS TIME.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE FRENSHIP OR THE TRUSTEES APPOINT CHELSEA SALAZAR TO FULFILL THE UNEXPIRED TERM FOR THE POSITION OF TRUSTEE PLACE FOUR.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. DAVID MILLER AND A SECOND BY MR. KYLE ROGERS. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THAT BEING SAID, ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED. MS. SALAZAR THERE WILL BE A INVITATION EXTENDED TO MR. SALAZAR AND WE WILL GET BACK [INAUDIBLE] DR.

MCCORD GET BACK WITH BOARD MEMBERS.

I CAN'T. WITH THE RESULTS OF THAT.

AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD ACCORDINGLY.

YES, SIR, IT WILL.

IF IT'S ACCEPTED, WE WILL.

WE WILL TRY TO SET A TIME AND PLACE WHICH WE'LL HAVE A BOARD MEETING AND SEAT THAT PERSON.
