IN ADDITION, SHE WAS ALSO THE CHAMPION FOR OUR DISTRICT IN THE CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP.
TONIGHT, HEAD CROSS-COUNTRY COACH, JEFFERY BIGHAM JOINS US TO RECOGNIZE HIS STUDENT ATHLETE.

AS A SOPHOMORE, SHE WAS ALL DISTRICT IN CROSS-COUNTRY AND ALL DISTRICT IN TWO RACES IN TRACK.
SHE WAS ALSO SECOND TEAM ALL DISTRICT IN SOCCER AND IS A STARTER ON OUR DISTRICT LEADING UNDEFEATED SOCCER TEAM AT THIS POINT.

[1.H.2. All-State Choir]
WE ARE RECOGNIZING OUR CHOIR ALL-STATE QUALIFIERS.CONGRATULATIONS TO THREE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR STUDENTS FOR THEIR RECENT SELECTION TO THE TEXAS MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION ALL-STATE CHOIR.
THE TEXAS ALL-STATE IS CONSIDERED THE HIGHEST HONOR A TEXAS MUSIC STUDENT CAN RECEIVE.
ACROSS THE STATE, NEARLY 2,000 STUDENTS ARE SELECTED THROUGH A PROCESS THAT BEGINS WITH OVER 70,000 STUDENTS FROM AROUND THE STATE FIGHTING FOR THIS HONOR TO PERFORM ONE OF 18 ENSEMBLES.
ONLY THE TOP 2.6 PERCENT OF MUSICIANS WHO INITIALLY AUDITIONED BECOME ALL-STATE MUSICIANS.
THESE THREE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS JUST PERFORMED WITH THE ALL-STATE CHOIR ON FEBRUARY 11TH IN SAN ANTONIO.
FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR DIRECTOR, AMY MOSS, IS HERE TO HELP US RECOGNIZE THESE STUDENTS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECOGNIZING OUR STUDENT MUSICIANS.
THEY'RE WONDERFUL LEADERS IN CLASS AND INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THEY DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
[00:05:01]
BUT THEY ALSO MADE TIME TO BE OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS.I FEEL LIKE THE MUSIC THIS YEAR WAS MUCH HARDER AND THEY JUST WENT THROUGH A LOT.
THEY DID FOUR INTENSE ROUNDS OF AUDITIONS THAT START AS EARLY AS SEPTEMBER AND THEN GO ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH JANUARY.
THAT INCLUDES CITE READING MUSIC THAT THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND THEN PREPARING COLLEGIATE LEVEL PIECES, I THINK IT WAS 10-12 THIS YEAR, TO A HIGH CALIBER.
THAT JUST TAKES A LOAD OF DEDICATION.
OF NOTE, ALL THREE ARE MADE FOR ALL-STATE CHOIR AS FRESHMEN AND THEN WE HAVE TWO THAT ARE RETURN ALL-STATERS AND THAT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE.
I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ABBY MILLS, SOPRANO 2.
THIS IS HER SECOND TIME MAKING ALL-STATE CHOIR.
[APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE] THIS IS HER THIRD TIME MAKING ALL-STATE CHOIR.
[APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE] THIS IS HIS FIRST YEAR MAKING ALL-STATE CHOIR AS A FRESHMAN.
[APPLAUSE] DO WE HAVE TIME TO GET FAMILIES [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].
>> CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> [BACKGROUND] YOU'RE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD?
>> WELL, I'M NOT. I'M SITTING IN THE WRONG CHAIR.
>> YOU REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO STAND BACK HERE, BUT WE WANTED YOU TO IN CASE YOU WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE BECAUSE WE FIGURED YOU HAD TO SEE THEIR FACES. [LAUGHTER]
[1.H.3. All-State Band]
WE HAVE BAND ALL-STATE QUALIFIERS.CONGRATULATIONS TO SEVERAL FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL BAND STUDENTS WHO ARE RECENTLY SELECTED FOR THE TEXAS ALL-STATE MUSIC ENSEMBLE.
STARTING OUT WITH MORE THAN 70,000 STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS, LESS THAN 2,000 STUDENTS ARE SELECTED FOR THIS DISTINCTION.
THIS IS THE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL HONOR FOR HIGH SCHOOL MUSICIAN AND ONLY THE TOP 2.6 PERCENT OF MUSICIANS WHO INITIALLY AUDITIONED BECOME ALL-STATE MUSICIANS.
THESE MUSICIANS JUST RECENTLY PERFORMED AT THE TEXAS ALL-STATE ENSEMBLE IN SAN ANTONIO.
FRENSHIP BAND DIRECTOR, DR. RYAN SMITH IS HERE TONIGHT TO TELL US ALL ABOUT THEIR PERFORMANCE AND TO RECOGNIZE THESE STUDENTS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO RECOGNIZE OUR STUDENTS.
THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR THEM.
FIRST OF ALL, HERE ON MY LEFT IS RYDER DAY.
HE'S A PICCOLO PLAYER, AND HE'S A SOPHOMORE.
THIS IS HIS SECOND TIME MAKING TO ALL-STATE GROUP AND PERFORMED WITH THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AT TMEA.
RYDER KEEPS GOING STRONG AND MAKING THE ALL-STATE GROUP ONCE IS VERY DIFFICULT ENOUGH, BUT TO ACCOMPLISH IT TWICE AND EVERY TIME THAT HE'S AUDITIONED IS EXTREMELY SPECIAL.
RYDER DAY. [APPLAUSE] NEXT TO MY LEFT IS DIEGO STEVENS.
DIEGO MADE IT ON THE TROMBONE. HE'S A SENIOR.
THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME MAKING THE ALL-STATE GROUP WHO PERFORMED WITH THE CONCERT BAND.
DIEGO HAS BEEN A VERY STEADY ROCK FOR US IN THE LOW BRASS SECTION.
WE'RE GOING TO REALLY MISS HIM NEXT YEAR. DIEGO STEVENS.
[APPLAUSE] TO MY RIGHT IS NOAH LUNA.
HE MADE IT ON PERCUSSION AND HE'S A JUNIOR.
THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME MAKING THE ALL-STATE GROUP AND PERFORMED WITH THE CONCERT BAND.
ONE OTHER AWESOME NEWS ABOUT NOAH IS HE'S AN EXTREMELY ACCOMPLISHED JAZZ DRUM SET PLAYER AS WELL, AND PLACED 11TH OVERALL OUT OF 60 THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS.
THIS IS THE HIGHEST PLACEMENT A STUDENT AT FRENSHIP HAS EVER MADE IN THE JAZZ AUDITIONS.
[00:10:03]
SUPER EXCITED TO SEE HOW WELL HE EVEN DOES NEXT YEAR. NOAH LUNA.LASTLY, TO MY RIGHT IS HALLEY SEVERS.
SHE'S A SENIOR CLARINET PLAYER AND THIS IS HER FIRST TIME MAKING ON ALL-STATE GROUP.
TRULY THOUGH, I DO THINK SHE WOULD HAVE MADE IT LAST YEAR, BUT IT WAS UNFORTUNATE WITHIN UNFORTUNATE TIME OF SICKNESS, BUT HALLEY IS BY FAR THE BEST HIGH-SCHOOL MUSICIAN I'VE EVER TAUGHT.
SHE'S PLAYED SOME MAJOR SOLOS WITH THE MARCHING BAND, THE CONCERT BANDS, HAS BEEN DRUM MAJOR IN THESE PAST FEW YEARS.
I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT HALLEY'S FUTURE WHEREVER SHE CHOOSES TO PURSUE AS WELL. HALLEY SEVERS. [APPLAUSE]
>> HOLD YOUR CERTIFICATES UP. THERE YOU GO.
1, 2, 3. CONGRATS. [APPLAUSE] [OVERLAPPING]
[1.H.4. Seniors from Superintendent's Student Advisory Board]
>> [BACKGROUND] FOR OUR LAST RECOGNITION THIS EVENING, FRENSHIP ISD WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AND SAY THANK YOU TO FIVE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO CURRENTLY SERVE ON DR. MCCORD, SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY BOARD.
THESE STUDENTS WERE SELECTED AS MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT ADVISORY BOARD DURING THE END OF THEIR EIGHTH GRADE YEAR.
DR. MCCORD RELIES ON THESE STUDENTS FOR THEIR VALUABLE INSIGHT, ASSISTANCE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS, AND SERVING AS STUDENTS AMBASSADORS DURING THE COMMUNITY BUSINESS TOURS OF FRENSHIP FACILITIES.
THESE STUDENTS SERVE AS VALUABLE LIAISONS TO FHS AND PROVIDE VALUABLE FEEDBACK REGARDING ONGOING CAMPUS PROJECTS, EVALUATIONS, AND IDEAS.
THEY PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD BACKPACKS ALONGSIDE THE ROTARY CLUB, AND CREATING BLANKETS FOR CANCER PATIENTS AT EMC.
TONIGHT, FRENSHIP SUPERINTENDENT DR. MICHELLE MCCORD WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THESE GREAT STUDENTS FOR THEIR SERVANT LEADERSHIP IN OUR DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY.
YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD THAT THEY'VE DONE A LOT, THEY CAN DO A LOT IN ACROSS THE FOUR-YEAR SPAN.
I'M SO GRATEFUL REALLY FOR THIS PART OF MY JOB THAT ALLOWS ME TO GET TO BE AROUND THESE WONDERFUL LEARNERS THAT WE HAVE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MY JOB TAKES ME AWAY FROM, THERE'S WONDERS AROUND MORE ADULTS THAN ANYONE ELSE.
BUT THESE STUDENTS ARE AMAZING AND THEY REALLY ARE THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE.
IF YOU GET DOWN AND OUT TO LIKE WE WERE EARLIER, WE WERE IN A BUDGET WORKSHOP.
IT WAS REALLY OKAY, BUT IT'S ALL OF THEM.
WE'RE IN A LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND IT CAN GET POLITICAL AND DIVISIVE AND JUST IT'S EASY TO BECOME CYNICAL AFTER A WHILE, BUT WHEN YOU ARE AROUND YOUNG PEOPLE AND THESE ARE JUST REPRESENTATIVES OF THOUSANDS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN FRENSHIP, YOU DO HAVE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
IT HAS BEEN TRULY MY PRIVILEGE.
PARENTS, THANK YOU FOR ENTRUSTING THEIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO US, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR ME,
[00:15:01]
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH THEM THAN I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE OTHER STUDENTS.THEY ARE EACH AMAZING AND DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAYS.
ACADEMICALLY TALENTED, OF COURSE, HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE.
THEY SHOULD ALL BE WEARING SUNGLASSES BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH A BRIGHT FUTURE.
[LAUGHTER] BUT THEY ARE JUST REMARKABLE HUMANS.
IT IS NOT JUST THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT DRAWS ME NEAR TO THEM AND IT GIVES ME HOPE.
IT'S THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE.
THEY ARE PEOPLE OF CHARACTER AND PEOPLE OF PASSION.
PEOPLE, THEY HAVE A HEART FOR SERVICE.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT AND FOR EACH ONE OF THEM AND I'M GOING TO MISS THEM.
THE FOUR YEARS, DID IT GO BY AS FAST FOR YOU AS IT DID FOR ME? SO MORGAN ALTMAN, [APPLAUSE] DAVID DE LA GARZA [APPLAUSE] YES.
[APPLAUSE] [OVERLAPPING] WE'LL LESSEN THE PICTURE [BACKGROUND] HOW ARE YOU DOING, MAN? IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MR. MILLER AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES, EACH ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY AND HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE.
I DID JUST HAVE THAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU NOT FROM THE OTHERS, BUT THAT MR. DAVID WINGER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY.
I THINK HIS TOP CHOICE IS THE NAVAL ACADEMY, SO HE'S STILL HOLDING OUT TO [INAUDIBLE] BUT IF HE DOESN'T, HE'S GOING TO [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY.
THE OTHERS HAVE REMARKABLE STORIES AS WELL, BUT THAT I'M SURE WILL HAVE CEREMONIES AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS FOR DAVID.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH US.
OUR NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESSES IS TO HEAR A REPORT ON MY TAR PERFORMANCE REPORT.
[2.A. Public hearing on the annual report including the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR)]
WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY OPENING THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ANNUAL REPORT, WHICH INCLUDES A TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT.MS. AMISH GROUP HAS PREPARED A PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU, MR. BILL [INAUDIBLE] AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, I'M HERE TO REPORT ON THE DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT.
THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE REQUIRES US TO HAVE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT.
WITHIN YOUR 717-PAGE DOCUMENT, YOU WILL NOTICE THERE ARE EIGHT SECTIONS.
THE FIRST SECTION THAT IS IN YOUR REPORT IS THE TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT, WHICH IS A COMPILATION OF THE PEIMS AND STUDENT ASSESSMENT DATA.
WITHIN THE TYPE OF REPORT, YOU WILL SEE A COVER PAGE.
ON THE COVER PAGE THERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATING, AND THE DISTRICT DID RECEIVE AN A FOR THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY RATING THIS YEAR.
YOU WILL SEE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION DETERMINATION STATUS AND WE MET REQUIREMENTS ON THAT.
YOU WILL NOT NOTICE THE ARMED SERVICE VOCATIONAL APTITUDE BATTERY TEST BECAUSE IT'S UNDER-REPORTED IF DISTRICTS DO NOT OFFER THAT AND WE DO.
YOU WILL NOTICE THE DISTINCTION DESIGNATION ON THE REPORT WHERE THE DISTRICT DID RECEIVE THE DISTINCTION OF POST-SECONDARY READINESS.
THE TYPE OF REPORT DOES HAVE A PLETHORA OF INFORMATION.
[00:20:03]
IT STARTS WITH STAR PERFORMANCE FOR EACH ASSESSMENT AND ALL GRADES AND ALL SUBJECT.IT ALSO SHOWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ACADEMIC GROWTH AFFORDED BY GRADE AND SUBJECT.
IT ALSO INCLUDES THE STAR PERFORMANCE OF OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS.
IT HAS OUR STAR PARTICIPATION RATE.
IT ALSO INCLUDES ATTENDANCE, GRADUATION, AND DROPOUT RATES IN OUR GRADUATION PROFILE FOR THE 2020 AND 21 GRADUATES.
THERE'S ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS AND RELATED INDICATORS AND OTHER POST-SECONDARY INDICATORS WITHIN THE REPORT.
AT THE END OF THE TAPR THERE IS STUDENT INFORMATION, STAFF AND PROGRAM INFORMATION AS WELL.
SECTION 2 OF THE REPORT INCLUDES THE PEIMS FINANCIAL STANDARD REPORT, WHICH IS INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
IT ALSO HAS IN SECTION 3 IS THE DISTRICT ACCREDITATION STATUS.
DUE TO THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE PAST YEARS, THE COMMISSIONER HAS DECIDED NOT TO ASSIGN ACCREDITATION STATUS UNTIL YOU WILL SEE THAT COMING UP ON NEXT YEAR'S REPORT.
SECTION 4 IS EACH CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN ALONG WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES.
IT IS THE UPDATED CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR THE 21, 22 SCHOOL YEARS AND THEIR PROGRESS THAT THEY HAVE MET TOWARDS EACH PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE.
IN SECTION 5 IT REQUIRES US TO REPORT ON VIOLENT OR CRIMINAL INCIDENCES THAT OCCUR ON EACH CAMPUS AND ALSO WITHIN THE REPORT AS REQUIRED BY TEA.
THE DISTRICT HAS TAKEN ACTION STARTING THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR ON ALL SAFETY AND SECURITY AUDITS REQUIRED BY TEA.
IN SECTION 6 YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT REPORTS ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS DURING THEIR FIRST YEAR ENROLLED AFTER GRADUATION FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS INFORMATION IS LAGGING IN DATA, SO THE MOST CURRENT REPORT IS OUR 2018/19 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
IN SECTION 7, YOU WILL SEE THE PROGRESS THAT EACH DISTRICT IN EACH CAMPUS HAS MADE TOWARDS MEETING THE BOARD ADOPTED HOUSE BILL THREE GOALS.
IN SECTION 8 IS THE TAPR GLOSSARY WHICH PROVIDES DEFINITIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH DATA POINT WITHIN THE TAPR.
THE TAPR WILL BE POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE SOON AFTER THIS MEETING AND I HAVE PUT MY CONTACT INFORMATION IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS OR MORE INFORMATION.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME?
>> I'M OUT OF QUESTIONS, AMI, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU.
IS THIS IS YOUR FIRST YEAR IN THIS ROLE?
>> IT'S YOUR FIRST YEAR IN THIS ROLE.
SHE'S FORMERLY A PRINCIPAL AT NORTH RIDGE.
HER NEW ROLE IS DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
AGAIN, I APPRECIATE HER TAKING 717 PAGES, AND SUMMARIZING THAT INTO 18 SLIDES.
I THINK THERE'S A MISCONCEPTION THAT THE DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY, IT'S REALLY ALL JUST ABOUT THE ACADEMIC PIECE WHICH IS THE STATE ASSESSMENT.
BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE MEASURES AND ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS BY WHICH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF ARE RATED IF YOU WILL, AND SO THANK YOU FOR MEMORIZING ALL OF THAT AND THANK YOU AND [INAUDIBLE] AMI IS VERY GOOD.
SHE WAS GOOD AT WHAT SHE DID BEFORE.
SHE'S A VERY LINEAR, ANALYTICAL THINKER, AND IS ABLE TO DIGEST A LOT OF THESE THINGS.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT WE HAVE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW TEST THIS YEAR.
IN THE MIDST OF THIS, WE HAVE STAR AND THEY ARE ALSO CHANGING AT THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES IN THE PROFESSION,
[00:25:01]
OF TEACHING AND THIS ASSESSMENT PIECE, THIS NEW ACCOUNTABILITY AND ALL OF THAT, IT'S JUST ANOTHER CHALLENGE THAT, NO DOUBT, OUR STAFF WILL MEET AND FACE AND DO WELL AS OUR LEARNERS.WE'RE GOING TO DO GREAT BUT IT'S A MOVING TARGET ALL THE TIME.
THANK YOU AMI FOR DIVING IN AND DOING THIS FOR US.
>> IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK, THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OVER.
NEXT, WE HAVE UNDER ACTION ITEMS CONSIDERED TO APPROVE
[3.A.1. Consideration to approve the 2023-2024 school calendar]
THE 2023/2024 SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR, MS. [INAUDIBLE]>> GOOD EVENING MR. MILLER AND SCHOOL BOARD.
I JUST WANT TO TAKE JUST A SECOND TO REVIEW SOME OF THE SPECIFICS WITH OUR CALENDAR COMMITTEE AND THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE WORKED THROUGH THIS SPRING.
JUST A REMINDER ABOUT THE CALENDAR REQUIREMENTS.
THE STATE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 75,600 INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES FOR STUDENTS, 187 DAYS FOR TEACHERS, AND THEN TWO BAD WEATHER DAYS.
IT WAS ON THIS COMMITTEE, AND HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET? IT WAS A GROUP OF 30 PLUS.
THERE WERE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES, ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE WAS DISTRICT STAFF FROM EACH DEPARTMENT HERE AT CASEY COMMUNICATIONS, C&I STUDENT SERVICES, PEIMS, BUSINESS OFFICE, AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
THERE WAS ALSO PARENTS INCLUDED ON THE COMMITTEE WITH CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL.
WE STARTED BY LOOKING AT BASICALLY TWO CALENDAR DRAFTS.
YOU CAN SEE ON THE NEXT TWO SLIDES BASICALLY JUST A RUNDOWN OF THE START DAY OR THE STAFF START DAY, WHEN THE STUDENTS START, WHEN THE WINTER BREAK WOULD BE, AND THEN JUST SOME BUILT-IN HOLIDAYS IN THE SPRING.
THIS CALENDAR WE START ON THE 7TH AND THEN STUDENTS START ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16TH AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WINTER BREAK.
ON THIS CALENDAR OPTION IT STARTS DECEMBER 21ST, STAFF RETURNS THE 4TH, AND STUDENTS RETURN ON JANUARY 8TH AND THEN THERE'S A STAFF AND STUDENT HOLIDAY ON THE 19TH AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT ON THE 26TH.
THEN WE ALSO TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT CALENDAR DRAFT B.
CALENDAR DRAFT B ALSO HAD AN AUGUST 7TH START DATE FOR STAFF, A WEDNESDAY START DATE FOR STUDENTS, AND THEN WINTER BREAK WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
YOU CAN SEE ON THIS DRAFT WE START WINTER BREAK DECEMBER 22ND, STAFF RETURN ON JANUARY 8TH, AND THEN STUDENTS RETURN ON JANUARY 10TH, BUT YOU CAN SEE THOSE TWO STAFF DAYS ON JANUARY 8TH AND 9TH.
THEN FEBRUARY 19TH IS A STAFF DEVELOPMENT STUDENT HOLIDAY.
THE SURVEY OPENED ON JANUARY 12TH AND IT CLOSED JANUARY 18TH.
EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT WAS SURVEYED AND WE ALSO PUSHED IT OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND TO OUR PARENTS ON ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS.
WE UTILIZED ALL OF THOSE COMMUNICATION METHODS.
ADDITIONAL BREAKDOWN FROM WHAT YOU SAW LAST TIME IS JUST, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PARENTS, COMMUNITY, AND THEN EMPLOYEES ANSWERED THE SURVEY? YOU CAN SEE FROM THE BAR GRAPH, WE HAD A LOT OF OUR PARENTS THAT RESPONDED, SEVERAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND THEN OF COURSE SEVERAL EMPLOYEES AS WELL.
WHAT WAS THE PREFERENCE? WHAT DID THIS SURVEY SAY? OF COURSE, EVERYONE FAVORED DRAFT B: 556 PARENTS, 448 STAFF, AND THEN 117 COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR A TOTAL OF 1,857.
SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, JUST TO REVIEW FROM LAST TIME.
MANY COMMENTS WERE IN FAVOR OF DRAFT B BECAUSE IT ALIGNED WITH LUBBOCK ISD'S CURRENT DRAFT.
OF COURSE, MOST OF THE CALENDAR, MOST OF THE COMMENTS CENTERED AROUND THAT WINTER BREAK, AND HOW MUCH TIME WILL WE HAVE DURING THAT HOLIDAY BREAK.
SOME VOTED FOR B BECAUSE MORE TIME IN JANUARY, OTHERS FOR A BECAUSE STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL EARLIER [NOISE].
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? PERFECT. YES. THE FRENSHIP ISD CALENDAR COMMITTEE AND ADMINISTRATION RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF THE ATTACHED CALENDAR B OPTION OF THE 2023/24 ACADEMIC YEAR AS PRESENTED BY STAFF.
[00:30:03]
>> WE HAVE A MOTION, WE HAVE A SECOND.
MR. ANDREW MACAQUES, THE MOTION WAS MADE BY MS. JAMIE PHILLIPS. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
>> OPPOSE SAY SIDE. MOTION CARRIED. YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
>> NEXT ITEM IS A CONSENT AGENDA.
[3.B. Consent Agenda]
WE'LL NEED A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT ITEM GO ALL THE WAY FROM ITEM NUMBER 1 DOWN TO ITEM NUMBER 11 ON THE LAST PAGE.>> [INAUDIBLE] APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. CARL ROGERS FOR APPROVAL.
>> WE'VE GOT A SECOND FROM, WAS THAT?
MOTION CARRIES. NOW BEFORE BUSINESS,
[4.Tentative Agendas for Upcoming Meetings]
WE HAVE A TENTATIVE AGENDA.THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL BE ON A THURSDAY, MARCH THE 23RD.
WE'LL DO IT ON A THURSDAY BECAUSE WE HADN'T DONE IT ON A THURSDAY IN A LONG TIME.
>> IT ALSO HELPS US TO GET OUR DOCUMENTS AND EVERYTHING PREPARED AFTER BREAK OR ACTUALLY THE THIRD MONDAY IS THE WEEK WE COME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK, BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GET ALL OF THAT. THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US HAVE IT ON A THURSDAY AND THANK YOU BOARD FOR JUST YOUR SERVICE AND COMING TO THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
>> THANK YOU ALL. MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
>> THANK YOU.
