Jul 17, 2023 Board Meeting

[00:00:08]

OKAY. IT'S BEEN DETERMINED THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT AND THIS MEETING HAS BEEN DULY CALLED TO NOTICE.

THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTED IN A TIMELY MANNER AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

THEREFORE, AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND I CALL THIS MEETING OF TRUSTEES TO ORDER.

WE JUST ENTERED OUR WORKSHOP, MS. LIBRE, I BELIEVE IT WAS AT 6:45, SO WE'RE NOW RECONVENING INTO OPEN SESSION FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

[1.D. Reconvene from Closed Session]

[1.E. Invocation]

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE BUSHY TAILED TODAY.

ALL RIGHT, FATHER.

GOD, THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY, LORD.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND CELEBRATE THIS DISTRICT.

THE STUDENTS OF THIS DISTRICT AND THE PEOPLE THAT HELP SUPPORT THESE KIDS.

LORD, INCLUDING THIS BOARD.

GOD, WE JUST ASK THAT THE DECISIONS MADE IN THIS ROOM ARE MADE FOR THE BEST AVENUE FOR OUR KIDS AND THE SUCCESS FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.

LORD, WE JUST ASK FOR YOUR GUIDANCE AND YOUR SUPPORT AS WE GO THROUGH THESE THINGS.

THIS IN YOUR NAME, I PRAY. AMEN.

AMEN. Y'ALL PLEASE STAND AND JOIN ME IN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.

[1.F. Pledge of Allegiance]

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD OF A CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.

[2.A. Construction Update]

MR. DRAPER. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR, SIR.

MEMBERS. TODAY'S PRESENTATION WILL BE ON THE 2020 BOND CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.

WE'LL DO THIS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE IN THREE PORTIONS.

I'LL BASICALLY GIVE YOU AN OVERHEAD VIEW OF THE FACILITY AND TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING WHERE AND FOLLOWED BY SOME PICTURES.

AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE DAMAGE.

[INAUDIBLE]. SO KIND OF MOVING FROM THERE.

LET'S START WITH THE NEW ELEMENTARY WITH THE EXTERIOR BLOCK WALLS, APPROXIMATELY 90% COMPLETE.

THE ROOF JOISTS ARE NOW HANGING ACROSS AREAS A THE GYMNASIUM IN AREA C IN 75% OF THE CLASSROOMS IN AREA B.

METAL DECKING IS INSTALLED COVERING APPROXIMATELY 60% OF AREA A AND HVAC CURVES ARE BEING LAID OUT AND ARE ALMOST READY TO INSTALL.

FORMS ARE BEING SET IN PREPARATION TO POUR FLOORS IN AREA A ALONG WITH SIDEWALKS SURROUNDING THE SCHOOL OUT BY THE STREET.

THE ELECTRICIANS HAVE 75% OF THEIR REVENUES BURIED UNDERGROUND, WHILE THE PLUMBERS ARE DOWN TO FINAL ADJUSTMENTS AND SHOULD BE COMPLETE WITH THEIR ROUGH DRAFT BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS PROJECT IS COVERING A LOT OF GROUND QUICK AND SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK TO BE OPEN IN THE FALL OF 2024.

SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE, WE HAVE AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE SCHOOL.

THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE IS PROBABLY ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF OLD, BUT YOU CAN SEE OVER ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE, THAT'S A CLASSROOM, LITTLE ROCK CLASSROOM ADDITION.

YOU HAVE YOUR JOIST SET.

DECKING IS GOING ON ABOVE THAT.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THAT'S YOUR GYMNASIUM AREA, JOIST RESET.

AND THEN OVER ON THE LEFT HAND, LOWER SIDE, THAT'S YOUR STORM SHELTER.

AND ACTUALLY JOISTS ARE SET ON THERE.

NOW, LIKE I SAID, THIS THIS IS ABOUT A WEEK OLD.

AND THEN ABOVE THAT, YOU HAVE THE CLASSROOM PORTION WITH THE WRAPPING UP THE BLOCK.

THIS IS ACTUALLY UNDER SECTION A, THIS WOULD BE THE SOUTHEAST SIDE.

IT'S A CLASSROOM ADDITION.

BUT YOU SEE THE DECKING IS IN, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PORTION OF THE BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO GET A CONCRETE FLOOR POURED PROBABLY THIS WEEK OR NEXT OR POURING IT UP RIGHT NOW.

SO MAKING GOOD TIME THERE.

THIS IS AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SCHOOL WITH ALL THE BLOCK UP KIND OF STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A SCHOOL.

SEE, THE GROUNDS ARE CLEAN.

AND THIS IS THE SIDEWALK THAT I WAS REFERRING TO POURED OUT BY THE STREET.

SO THIS IS A THE JOIST SET IN THE STORM SHELTER.

AND TAKE NOTE HOW THICK THE STEEL BEAMS ARE ON TOP OF THAT FACILITY.

THEY'RE PROBABLY 18IN THICK.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS THIS ACTUALLY GETS A CONCRETE CAP.

THIS IS THE STORM SHELTER AREA.

SO IT IS IT IS SERIOUSLY REINFORCED.

THAT'S A LOT OF STEEL. THIS IS AN EXTERIOR WALL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE FACILITY.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A CLUE OF WHAT THE COLORS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

IT'S KIND OF AN ACID WASH, SO IT'S A LITTLE ROUGH.

BUT IF YOU NOTICE, YOU HAVE YOUR YOUR REDS AND YOUR GRAYS IN THE CENTER PORTION AND THE PROTRUDING AREAS OF THE BUILDING, YOU'LL HAVE THAT LIGHT BROWN RIBBON AROUND THERE.

IT GIVES SOME CONTRAST.

SO IT'S A GOOD LOOKING DESIGN.

[00:05:04]

THE REASON WHY I INCLUDED THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST BLOCK STORM SHELTERS THE DISTRICT HAS BUILT.

AND SO WHAT HAPPENS IS IS THEY THEY BUILD A BLOCK WALL.

THEY FILL EVERY CORNER WITH CONCRETE REINFORCED STEEL.

THE TOP THEY BRING THE REINFORCEMENT UP AND THEY TURN IT BACK TO 90 WHERE THE ROOF IS.

SO ON TOP OF THAT JOIST, THEY'LL LAY DOWN THEIR STEEL DECKING, THE CONCRETE REINFORCING.

AND THEN WHAT'LL HAPPEN IS THAT THAT REINFORCEMENT WILL TIE BACK TO THE STEEL 90 REINFORCEMENTS.

SO IT BASICALLY BUILDS A CONCRETE SHELL, THUS THE STORM SHELTER.

IT'S AN INTERESTING PROCESS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION CENTERS FOR THE ELECTRICAL.

SO OUT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FACILITY, THEY SAID A TRANSFORMER ABOUT A WEEK, WEEK AND A HALF AGO THAT'S POPPED INTO THIS AREA.

THIS AREA WILL HAVE A MAIN SWITCHGEAR, WHICH IS THEN PIPE TO SUB PANELS, WHICH PROVIDES ELECTRICITY FOR DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING, DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT AROUND THE BUILDING. SO MOVING RIGHT ALONG BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL, JUST NOTE THAT THIS BUILDING DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY HAIL DAMAGE.

ALL WE HAVE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IS JUST CONCRETE AND STEEL.

NOT A LOT OF DAMAGE DONE AUTOMATICALLY.

MOVING ON TO THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL, AS THE LAST OF THE WALLS PANELS WERE STOOD UP IN AREA.

Q THE ROOF JOISTS HAVE NOW BEEN SET IN AREA C AND P AND ARE WRAPPING UP OVER AREA Q.

STEEL BEAMS AND FLOOR JOISTS ARE BEING SET IN AREA S AND STEEL CREWS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BACK TO AREA C, Q AND P AND START DECKING WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. NO LONGER NEEDED CASTING BEDS ARE BEING DEMOLISHED ACROSS THE SITE TO MAKE ROOM FOR BLOCK LAYERS, ANOTHER STEEL FRAMING.

WHILE DART CREWS HAVE STARTED EXCAVATING AREAS A AND B AND OTHER STEEL FRAMING, WHILE THE DART CREWS HAVE STARTED EXCAVATING AREAS A AND B AROUND THE COMPETITION PIT, CONCRETE CREWS ARE DIGGING AND POURING FOOTINGS IN AREAS J.

AND H, ALONG WITH MECHANICAL CREWS WHICH ARE WORKING ON THEIR RUBBINGS IN PREPARATION FOR BLOCK LAYERS WITH OVER 10,000 YARDS OF CONCRETE ALREADY POURED, THIS PROJECT APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK AND MOVING ALONG NICELY.

THIS IS AN OVERALL RENDERING OF THE HOSPITAL AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE OVER TO YOUR LEFT HAND SIDE.

WE HAVE OUR COMPETITION PIT NEXT TO IT.

TO THE RIGHT, YOU HAVE YOUR PRACTICE GYMS TO THE RIGHT OF THAT.

YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN ENTRY.

NEXT TO THAT IS ADMINISTRATION AND OF COURSE, YOUR AUDITORIUM ON THE END.

SO THE FACILITY IS NOT ONLY DESIGNED TO BE VERY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NOT ALSO SO.

OKAY. THESE ARE THE LAST OF THE WALL PANELS.

THIS PICTURE IS ABOUT PROBABLY A WEEK AND A HALF OLD, BUT THERE WAS THREE MAIN PORTIONS OF THIS.

THIS PROJECT HAD TILT WALL PANELS ON IT.

IT WAS OUR PRACTICE GYMS, OUR AUDITORIUM AREA AND THE FINE ARTS AREA.

AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE LAST PANELS BEING STOOD UP THERE, ACTUALLY STOOD UP.

NOW, LIKE I SAID, THIS PICTURE IS ABOUT A WEEK OR A WEEK AND A HALF OLD.

AND HERE WE ARE WITH KIND OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

SO THIS IS A STEEL FRAME STRUCTURE.

IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE NORTH EAST CORNER OF THE FACILITY.

THIS IS A CLASSROOM PORTAL.

IF YOU LOOK IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT, THAT'S THE STRUCTURE WE WERE SEEING JUST BEING BUILT ON AN ARTS AREA.

TO THE LEFT OF THAT, YOU HAVE YOUR YOUR AUDITORIUM.

AND THEN IF YOU KIND OF LOOK BEHIND THE STEEL STRUCTURE, YOU'LL SEE OUR OUR PRACTICE AREAS.

THE TWO STORM SHELTERS ON THE AREA ARE THE PRACTICE GYM AREA, WHICH IS BEHIND THAT STEEL STRUCTURE.

AND THEN ONE IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT OF THAT STEEL STRUCTURE, WHICH IS YOUR.

AND THIS KIND OF EXCITEMENT.

THIS IS THE COMPETITION PIT.

SO THEY'VE GOT IT ALL ACTUALLY EXCAVATED OUT NOW.

AND THE KIND OF SET FORMS GET READY FOR WHERE THE BLEACHERS WILL GO.

UNDERGROUND ROOMS, DRESSING AND SO FORTH AND SO ON.

SO MOVING ALONG.

MAKING GOOD TIME. A FEW WEEKS AGO, OR ACTUALLY A MONTH OR SO AGO, DURING THE PRESENTATION I SPOKE OF, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO LONGER GOT THEIR HAND FINISHED IN CONCRETE ANYMORE. THEY HAVE THESE MACHINES THAT DO IT NOW THAT MAKE, YOU KNOW, A LOT FASTER, BETTER, STRONGER AND SO FORTH.

AND I JUST THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A NEAT LITTLE PICTURE OF THE BUMPER BUGGIES OUT THERE CRUISING AROUND.

SO. OKAY.

AND THEN KIND OF BEFORE WE JUMP ON TO THE ALCOVE TRAILS, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE HAIL DAMAGE.

AND THERE WASN'T ANY ON THIS FACILITY EITHER, CONCRETE AND STEEL.

SO EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY SOLID.

OKAY. ON THE ALCOVE TRAILS MIDDLE SCHOOL AS THE FINAL COATS OF PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, THE ROOFING CREWS WERE BUSY LAYING DOWN NEW BASE AND CAP SHEETS AND SPRAYING GRAVEL.

THE FINAL PIECES OF GLASS AND WINDOW FRAMING ARE BEING DELIVERED, ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED AROUND THE CLEAR STORY IN AREA D, WHILE THE PARKING LOTS ARE GOING DOWN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING. CLEANING CREWS ARE POLISHING UP IN AREAS E, F AND G, AND CLASSROOM FURNITURE IS EXPECTED TO BE DELIVERED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF

[00:10:02]

CEILINGS ARE HUNG AND THE CAFETORIUM WALL PROTECTION IS GONE ON THE WALLS AND THE STAGE EQUIPMENT IS SCHEDULED TO GO ON FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

IN AREA A, THE ATHLETIC AREA RUBBER FLOOR IS INSTALLED IN THE MATTE ROOM.

WALLS ARE BEING PAINTED AND THE SCHEDULE TO BE DELIVERED BY THE END OF THE MONTH WITH EVERYTHING HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE ON TRACK TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED AND READY FOR SCHOOL TO START NOW ON THE HAIL DAMAGE ON THIS SCHOOL BEFORE [INAUDIBLE].

BUT I'LL KIND OF DO IT HERE.

WE DID RECEIVE A LITTLE HAIL DAMAGE ON THE ROOF AND ON SOME EXPANSION SHEET.

THE ROOFING WAS APPROXIMATELY ON THE VERY LEFT HAND SIDE OF AREA C, AND WE SEE ABOUT FOUR CLASSROOMS THERE.

WE HAD THE BASE SHEET ON THAT THAT TOOK ON SOME DAMAGE AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF THE AREA AT THE TOP OF AREA A AND THEN SOME EXPANSION JOINTS SCATTERED AROUND.

SO WE'VE MET WITH THE MANUFACTURERS AND REMEDY BACK ON BACK ON TRACK REALLY SUCCESS TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T HURT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENVELOPE NOR DID IT [INAUDIBLE] THAT WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT FACTOR.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE DAMAGE THAT WE RECEIVED ON THAT.

SO KIND OF MOVING ON FROM THERE.

THIS IS ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE FACILITY.

SEE THE BRICKS FINISHED, CAPS ON DOORS ARE IN, WINDOWS ARE IN RICHMOND, WASH.

CONCRETE IS DOWN AND COMING RIGHT ALONG.

THIS IS THE OFFICE AREA UNTIL THE MAIN COUNTER HAS BEEN STAINED.

TOPS DOWN PAINTER THIS MORNING WAS ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE TEACHER SLOTS WALLS PAINTED THE CEILING IN AND IT SHOULDN'T BE LONG.

WE SHOULD GET A PRINCIPAL SECRETARY IN THERE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS A PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE HERE.

BUT YOU SEE, ALL FURNITURE IS ASSEMBLED.

GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WORK OVER HERE ON THE WALL.

THAT'S NOT REALLY SHOWING, BUT THEY'RE WRAPPING IT UP AS WE SPEAK.

IT SHOULDN'T BE LONG BEFORE WE GET HER IN THE BUILDING.

THIS IS THE MAIN CORRIDOR THAT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE.

IT ACTUALLY IT'S THE FRONT ENTRANCE ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK TO THE ATHLETIC AREA.

AND SO THE OFFICE WOULD ACTUALLY BE IMMEDIATELY TO MY LEFT.

I JUST WALKED IN THE DOOR.

CLASSROOMS ARE ALL ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE TO THE LEFT.

FURTHER DOWN THE HALL, YOU'D HAVE FINE ARTS AND THEN ATHLETICS, WHICH YOU CAN SEE FOUR FLOORS DOWN.

CEILINGS ARE IN, WALL PROTECTION IS UP AND KIND OF KNOW WITH THAT WALL PROTECTION ON THE LEFT CORNER RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S GOOD. WE CAN WALK AWAY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT.

OF COURSE, THE LIBRARY.

YOU SEE THE BOOKSHELVES ARE INSTALLED.

CARPETS DOWN WINDOWS IN RICHMOND, ACID WASH PAINTS ON THE WALL.

AND CHECK OUT THOSE LIGHTS, GUYS.

AND LOTS OF COOL ART THAT I HADN'T SEEN BEFORE.

THAT'S A NEW ONE ON ME.

I'M STILL WOWED BY THE CARPET.

WE DID SEE CARPETS DOWN.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MDF CLOSETS FROM THE MDF CLOSETS OR COMPUTER CLOSETS, AS A LOT OF US KNOW.

SO OUR INTERNET PROVIDER, THEY RAN HIS NAME.

THEY CALL IT BLACK FIBER.

JUMP ON THE JOKE. THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

IS THE BUILDING AND THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER HERE.

AND THEN IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY MADE A FINAL CONNECTIONS, THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF THAT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS THE MAPLE GYM FLOOR.

I BELIEVE IT'S ON THE SECOND COAT.

SO THEY COME IN AND ACCLIMATIZE IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THEN THEY LAY IT, SAND IT.

THEY PUT A COAT OF A SEALER ON IT, PAINT THE LINES, PUT THE SECOND COAT ON, AND THEN THEY'LL GET ONE MORE COAT BEFORE IT'S OVER.

I BELIEVE THE BLEACHERS ARE SCHEDULED TO COME IN AT THE END OF THIS WEEK OR BEGINNING OF NEXT.

THEY'LL PUT A PLUG COVERS ON THE WALL AND SOME BASKETBALL.

THIS IS ONE OF THE TYPICAL CLASSROOMS, FINISHED CLASSROOMS, SMART BOARDS UP [INAUDIBLE], GOT A NICE SHINE ON THE FLOOR.

WALLS ARE PAINTED, LIGHT BOARDS ARE UP AND THAT BABY IS READY TO TEACH YOU.

THIS IS ONE OF THE SCIENCE LAB CABIN STAIN AGAIN.

NICE SHINE ON THE FLOOR. LIGHTS BURNING.

THAT ONE IS LOOKING GOOD COMING ALONG.

CAFETORIUM CEILINGS.

YOU SEE THE LEFT HAND SIDE? OUR STAGE RIGGING CREW IS IN THE STAGE.

EQUIPMENT ON FLOOR EQUIPMENT, FLOOR FLOORING, I BELIEVE, IS THURSDAY OR FRIDAY OR MONDAY.

IT'S GETTING REAL CLOSE.

AND SO THIS PART OF THE BUILD IS WRAPPING UP.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MR. COCKELL, I THINK YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD JOB. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANKS FOR ALL YOU ALL DO.

OKAY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA BOARD IS ROUTINE DISTRICT OPERATIONS.

[3.A. Consent Agenda]

EACH OF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT FOR APPROVAL.

[00:15:02]

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE AN ACTION ITEM.

[3.B.1. Consider and take possible action on Student Health Advisory Council's recommendation to not provide human sexuality instruction]

THIS WAS YOUR FIRST WEEK BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED THIS LAST WEEK AND START THE SECOND.

YES, SIR. GREAT TO BE HERE.

GLAD YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU.

THAT TABLE CAN GET YOU IN A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE.

YEAH, JUST SAY IT.

ONE OF PINSTRIPING AND THE OTHER ONE WILL GIGGLE AT YOU.

OKAY. THE AGENDA ITEM, I BELIEVE, IS A CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE STUDENT HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL'S RECOMMENDATION TO PROVIDE HUMAN SEXUALITY INSTRUCTION.

YES. NOT TO NOT.

THANK YOU. YES.

TO NOT. IT'S TOO HOT.

MY BRAIN. BIG DIFFERENCE.

BIG, BIG DIFFERENCE.

BOARD IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK BACKGROUND AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO SOME MORE SPECIFICS.

SO THE STUDENT HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, WHICH IS ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE SAC, IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARENTS, CAMPUS STAFF AND DISTRICT STAFF, AND THEY WORK TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH A COORDINATED HEALTH PROGRAM.

SO IN COORDINATES WITH BOARD POLICY AND LEGISLATION, THIS COMMITTEE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION.

WE HELD TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS WE DEVELOPED AND WE'LL PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION FOR FOR HUMAN SEXUALITY CURRICULUM.

SO, SBOE AND TEA THIS LEGISLATION REQUIRES THE BOARD OR THE SHAC TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD ABOUT THE INSTRUCTION OF HUMAN SEXUALITY.

THE SBOE AND TEA DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY GUIDANCE OR ANY CURRICULUM ON THAT.

AND SO IN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE SHAC, WITH OUR PARENTS, OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, OUR STAFF, THE SHAC HAS MADE IT HAS A RECOMMENDATION TO NOT PROVIDE INSTRUCTION.

BUT WE'RE BEFORE WE MAKE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD, WE WOULD ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE OR ANY COMMENTS YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAKE.

MAY I HAVE A COMMENT TO MAKE? AND SO, AS RICHARD ALLUDED TO, THE SBOE, WHICH IS THE TEXAS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, AND STILL CURRENTLY . THEIR ROLE IS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS TAUGHT IN COURSES TO DETERMINE THE TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, THE TEKS, AND THEN TO DETERMINE THE MATERIAL THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE TEXTBOOK AND THE TEXTBOOK ADOPTED MATERIALS.

AND THEN THEY WORK IN TANDEM WITH THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, WITH PUBLISHERS.

AND SO THEY WORKING TOGETHER, THEY TELL EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT, HERE'S A LIST OF TEXTBOOKS OR MATERIALS.

YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TEXTBOOKS ANYMORE BUT YOU THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM.

AND THEN WE CHOOSE FROM THAT LIST.

AND SO IN 2021, THE HEALTH TEXTBOOK AND CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS OR CURRICULUM RESOURCES WERE UP FOR ADOPTION FOR RENEWAL, JUST LIKE SOCIAL STUDIES, ALGEBRA, ALL OF THOSE.

WELL, IT GOT REALLY POLITICAL BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT BECAUSE YOU HAD THE MORE LIBERAL VIEWPOINT AND THE MORE CONSERVATIVE VIEWPOINT.

AND SO IT'S LIKE SOME WERE AFRAID.

WE'VE NOT EVER TAUGHT GENDER IDENTITY, NON-BINARY LGBTQIA QUESTION MARK.

WE'VE NOT TAUGHT THAT EVER.

BUT IT WAS HUMAN SEXUALITY WAS TYPICALLY TAUGHT IN HEALTH.

AND SO BECAUSE THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION COULD NOT COME TO CONSENSUS AND TO BE BOLD, DO THEIR JOB, THEY MADE A LAW IN 2021 AND THAT LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND DUMPED IT IN YOUR LAP.

THERE IS NO OTHER SUBJECT OR ANYTHING THAT YOU OR AS A BOARD OR SHAC IS REQUIRED TO COME UP WITH THE CURRICULUM. THAT'S THE JOB OF THE STATE.

AND THEY DIDN'T DO IT.

AND SO THEY DUMPED IT OFF ON THE SHAC.

[00:20:01]

SO WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SO OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS, WE ALREADY KNOW HOW SATURATED THEIR SCHEDULES ARE.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO SET TIME ASIDE AND OUR CURRICULUM PEOPLE TO VET MATERIALS AND DETERMINE WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND SO WHILE I HAVE MY OWN OPINIONS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT, WHAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE TAUGHT.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT MY OPINION.

BASICALLY, WE FELT LIKE THAT IF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STATUTORILY REQUIRED AND THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, THEY'RE ELECTED OFFICIALS, IF THEY CAN'T COME TO CONSENSUS, I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THAT.

THAT'S JUST AND OUR SHAC DIDN'T EITHER.

SO I THINK I'M KIND OF GIVING AWAY WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO BE.

BUT THAT'S BASICALLY HOW DID WE GET TO HERE? HOW IS THIS BROUGHT? SO YOU CAN SEE IN YOUR BOARD DOCUMENT THAT ALSO ANOTHER THING THAT THE LEGISLATURE DID IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE TRANSPARENT IN WHAT WE DID.

THEY MADE SHAC MEETINGS, WHICH WERE ALWAYS THEY WERE NEVER PRIVATE MEETINGS.

BUT NOW A SHAC MEETING HAS TO HAVE THE AGENDA POSTED 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

IT HAS TO BE A PUBLIC MEETING.

THEY CHANGED THE LEGISLATION, DUMPED THESE SORT OF CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES AT THE STATE AND THE LOCAL CONTROL AND THEN SAID, HEY, AND LET'S MAKE IT A PUBLIC MEETING. BY THE WAY, JUST SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS TO COME.

AND SO THE SHAC MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE TO THE BOARD AND WE'RE PRESENTING ON THEIR BEHALF.

AND THE BOARD CAN EITHER ACCEPT OR REJECT THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

IF WE REJECT THE RECOMMENDATION, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE SHAC AND, YOU KNOW, SAY THE BOARD DISAGREES WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION AND WE WILL TRY TO FIND A CURRICULUM TO TEACH HUMAN SEXUALITY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HAS A RECOMMENDATION.

LOVE TO HEAR IT. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION THAT FRENSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE HUMAN SEXUALITY INSTRUCTION FOR APPROVAL. A MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY MR. DAVID MILLER. SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND. WAS CHELSEA SALAZAR? SHE'S BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU.

SORRY. HE DOES HAVE GLASSES ON RIGHT NOW.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY.

ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHTY.

REPEAT HERE. WE CAN GET A THIRD UP HERE.

MR. THOMPSON.

COME ON UP. CRAIG THOMPSON, OUR DIRECTOR.

COUNSELOR. WHAT ARE YOU? DIRECTOR OR HUMAN? THAT'S WHAT, THAT I COULDN'T REMEMBER.

ALL OF A SUDDEN IF YOU WERE A COORDINATOR OR A DIRECTOR.

SO INTERESTING INJURY.

WELL, YOU DID, AND YOU ALREADY APPROVED IT.

JUST SO.

OKAY, SO ACTION ITEM NUMBER TWO.

[3.B.2. Consider and take possible action on Student Health Advisory Council's recommendation to approve age-appropriate curriculum materials for abuse prevention instruction including: child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking]

CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON STUDENT HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AGE APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM MATERIALS FOR ABUSE PREVENTION INSTRUCTION, INCLUDING CHILD ABUSE, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE AND SEX TRAFFICKING.

MR. DEAN OR WHOEVER THE SPOKESPERSON IS.

OH, THIS COMMITTEE SPOKE.

THIS COMMITTEE ONCE AGAIN FELT WITH ALL THOSE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, FOLLOW THE SAME PROTOCOL AS THEY DID WITH THE HUMAN SEXUALITY.

WE, I HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN HERE.

WE HAVE THE RECONCILIATION.

YES. NOT RECONCILIATION.

WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION.

THAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR.

WE HAD OUR TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS AND THEN WE CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CHILD ABUSE, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE AND SEX TRAFFICKING, FOCUSING ON RECOMMENDING EVEN THE GRADE LEVELS AND THAT THEY WOULD BE TAUGHT.

SO IN THIS ONE, DURING THIS INSTRUCTION, THIS IS AN OPT IN INSTRUCTION PIECE.

SO THE PARENTS HAVE TO OPT IN, ALLOW THEIR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, TEA DOES HAVE A PARTNERSHIP IN THIS.

AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LUBBOCK CAC, CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER, WHO HAS A PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES THESE TOPICS.

[00:25:06]

WE HAVE TO PROVIDE AN OPT IN LETTER TO THE PARENTS 14 DAYS PRIOR TO INSTRUCTION, AND IF IT'S NOT RETURNED, THEN THE STUDENT CANNOT PARTICIPATE.

SO IF THE PARENTS DON'T RETURN IT, FORGET TO RETURN IT, THEN THE STUDENTS WILL NOT PARTICIPATE.

MR. THOMPSON IS HERE TO SHOW US A QUICK SAMPLE OF WHAT ONE OF THE VIDEOS FROM WILL LOOK LIKE.

YES, AND WITH THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER, THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR TRAINED PRESENTERS COME ON TO THE CAMPUS AND THEY WOULD PRESENT THIS PLAY IT SAFE CURRICULUM TO THE STUDENTS AGAIN, ON AN OPT IN BASIS.

AND WE DO HAVE A MINUTE VIDEO HERE TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

MY TEACHER SAID TO DO A PRESENTATION ON CHILD SAFETY.

SOME KIDS HEARD SAFETY, I HEARD PRESENTATION.

AND THAT COULD ONLY MEAN ONE THING A FILM.

BUT NOT JUST ANY FILM.

AN EDUCATIONAL EPIC TALE LIKE DRINKING FROM A FIRE HOSE OF KNOWLEDGE WHILE RIDING A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS PROPELLED BY MIND BLOWING SPECIAL EFFECTS AND A TEAR JERKING MUSICAL SCORE.

HELLO, I'M BENTLEY ROCKFORD, AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU SOME IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

THERE ARE THREE KINDS OF TOUCH.

DID YOU KNOW? IT'S TRUE.

SAFE TOUCH. UNSAFE TOUCH AND CONFUSING TOUCH.

IF ANYONE HAS EVER GIVEN YOU AN UNSAFE OR CONFUSING TOUCH, YOU NEED TO KNOW IT'S NOT.

IT'S YOUR UPSIDE DOWN.

OH, SORRY.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT.

SO THAT'S JUST A QUICK OF COURSE, THAT VIDEO GOES ON AND ON AND THEN IT'S FACILITATED BY THE CAC FACILITATOR.

SO IT'S NOT JUST THE END OF THAT, BUT IT'S A PROGRAM CALLED PLAY IT SAFE.

IT'S AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR PARENTS TO LOOK AT REVIEW DURING THE PROCESS WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO OPT IN.

SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS SECRET OR ANYTHING.

IT'S OUT THERE. PLAY IT SAFE IS WHAT IT'S CALLED.

AND IT'S AGAIN, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LUBBOCK CAC.

AND CAC IS A STATE COLLABORATIVE AGENCY WITH TEA, AND TEA APPROVES THEIR PROGRAM AS CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER.

YES, SIR. OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION.

THE OPT IN COMPONENT, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN OPT IN ELECTRONICALLY? LIKE CAN FOR THOSE OF US THAT CHILDREN DON'T HAVE FOLDERS AND AREN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO BRING THE STUFF HOME? IT'S GOING TO BE A PIECE OF PAPER GOING HOME.

IT'LL HAVE TO BE EVEN.

THERE'S NOT A SKYWARD.

SO REALLY APPROVAL ONCE AGAIN, NO, IT CANNOT BE DONE IN SKYWARD.

IT CANNOT BE DONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WHEN PARENTS ARE LIKE FILLING OUT THE PAPERS AND COMING TO THE SCHOOL.

AND SO IN A WAY, AGAIN, IT'S FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THEY THEY BEING THIS TIME THE LEGISLATORS CAME UP WITH THIS NOT IN THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION, BUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE NOT PROVIDED THE INSTRUCTION, BUT IT HAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED THIS SCHOOL YEAR IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

AND SO, AGAIN, I TOTALLY GET PARENTS SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF WHAT THEIR KIDS SEE AND DON'T SEE.

BUT THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY GUIDANCE EXCEPT BASICALLY SOME HURDLES AND STUMBLING BLOCKS FOR TO PROVIDE THE INSTRUCTION. SO, YOU KNOW, MANY PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, AND I'M JUST SAYING.

BUT IF I WERE DOING SOMETHING, MAYBE I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO, AND SOME THINGS WERE MAYBE NOT GOING WELL AT MY HOUSEHOLD, I'M GOING TO SAY NO TO THAT INSTRUCTION.

AND ALSO MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS MAYBE PROACTIVE.

A LOT OF PARENTS, JUST THEIR CHILD DOESN'T BRING HOME THE PIECE OF PAPER.

THEIR PARENTS WORK TWO JOBS.

THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO RETURN THE PIECES OF PAPER.

MY CONCERN IS THAT SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST SO IN ELEMENTARY WE DID IT WAS NOT THIS, BUT IN ELEMENTARY WE DID A WAS IN FIFTH GRADE THAT WE DID THE IT WAS LIKE THE BOYS WENT TO A ROOM.

THE GIRLS WENT TO A ROOM.

YOU GOT THE MENSTRUATION TALK IN THE GIRLS ROOM AND THE BOYS ROOMS LIKE, HEY, YOUR BODY IS CHANGING.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER DEODORANT, THAT KIND OF THING.

AND IF YOU DIDN'T WANT YOUR CHILD TO GET THAT, SO WE SEND IT HOME.

[00:30:01]

BY THE WAY, A PARENT CAN REFUSE ANY KIND OF LESSON OR SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT THEIR CHILD TO PARTICIPATE IN.

WELL, NOW THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THIS UP TO YOU, BUT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THESE DETAILS ON IT SO THAT WHAT I KNOW FROM RESEARCH AND I FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY IT IS THAT THIS THESE STATISTICS HAVEN'T REALLY CHANGED A WHOLE LOT IN THE PAST 20 YEARS.

BUT 1 IN 4 GIRLS WILL BE SEXUALLY ABUSED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO BE RAPED, BUT IT MEANS THAT THEY WILL HAVE A BAD TOUCH.

OR MAYBE RAPE 1 IN 4 BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE YEAR 18 YEARS OF AGE.

SO 1 IN 4.

SO IN A FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM OF 22 KIDS, THAT'S FIVE OF THOSE IF IT'S ALL GIRLS, WHICH IT'S NO TO DO THAT EITHER. BUT AND THEN FOR BOYS, IT'S ABOUT 1 IN 6 BY THE TIME THEY'RE AT THAT NUMBER HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS.

IT USED TO BE MORE LIKE 1 IN 8.

NOW IT'S 1 IN 6.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CHILD ABUSE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL ABUSE.

SO I, THE SHAC FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO TEACH IT, PROVIDE INSTRUCTION ON IT.

AND WHEN I SAY INSTRUCTION ON IT, IT'S NOT A CLASS LIKE THAT WE OFFER EVERY DAY OR EVERY WEEK.

IT'S LIKE AN ASSEMBLY KIND OF THING WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO COME ONCE AND DISCUSS IT.

AND SO WE THE SHAC FELT LIKE.

WE TOTALLY AGREED THAT WE REALLY WOULDN'T BE DOING OUR JOB IF WE DIDN'T AT LEAST BRING THAT TO THE BOARD TO CONSIDER.

AND SO AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS THAT SO NOT CRAIG'S KIDS, NOT CINDY'S KIDS, NOT LANE'S KIDS, WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE OKAY AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

THE KIDS THAT NEED US THE MOST AND MAYBE THEIR PARENTS ARE JUST OVERWHELMED BY LIFE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET TO HEAR ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING, BUT YOU'RE TRYING TO PREVENT SOMETHING BAD FROM HAPPENING.

SO I DON'T KNOW.

I GOT A LITTLE HOT UNDER THE COLLAR ON THAT ONE.

GOT A LITTLE WENT DOWN, SPIRALED LITTLE.

SO THAT'S MY TED TALK.

DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION? ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION TO PARTNER WITH THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF LUBBOCK AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE PLAY IT SAFE CURRICULUM FOR INSTRUCTIONS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH 12 RELATED TO THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DATING, VIOLENCE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

OKAY, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION BY ADMINISTRATION AT THIS TIME.

I'LL TAKE ANY MOTIONS.

I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THAT.

THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY MS. JAMEY PHILLIPS FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND. SECOND BY MR. ANDREW COX. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL.

[4.A. 2023-2024 Student Handbook Changes]

WE HAVE THE 2023-2024 STUDENT HANDBOOK CHANGES.

MR. BROOKS? SIR, AS NOTED IN YOUR BOARD, DOC, THIS IS A REVIEW ITEM NOT TO BE VOTED UPON, BUT WE ALWAYS LIKE TO INCLUDE SOME OF THOSE RELEVANT CHANGES IN THERE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT AND OF COURSE ASK SOME QUESTIONS.

I'M SURE YOU ALL NOTED QUICKLY THAT THERE'S A PROHIBITION ON TIKTOK ON ANY DISTRICT DEVICE.

NOTEWORTHY. I DON'T HAVE TIKTOK, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS, BUT APPARENTLY SOMEBODY THOUGHT THERE WAS.

YEAH. OFF THE TIKTOK.

WE'VE BEEN OFF TIKTOK FOR A LONG TIME.

OH, OKAY. WE'RE BEING.

WE'RE OFF IT. YEAH.

GOOD JOB, JOE.

IT'S BLOCKED. YEAH, HE DODGED IT.

WE RAN OVER THAT ONE FOR A LEGISLATIVE YEAR.

NOT. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF REAL MEATY THINGS IN THERE, TRUTHFULLY.

BUT WE DON'T WANT TO LECTURE ANY ISSUES OR QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS WITH THOSE CHANGES.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BROOKS? BELIEVE YOU CAN GO TO THE BACK ROW AND OPEN UP SOMETHING OTHER THAN TIKTOK.

OKAY. SO JUST LIKE MR. BROOKS SAID, THIS IS ARE YOU READY FOR ME? YOU DO IT. SHE CAN READ, YOU KNOW.

SHE CAN. SHE GOT THE LOOK.

SHE GOT IT.

[4.B. 2023-2024 Employee Handbook Changes]

THIS IS WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR BOARD DOCS.

AND IT'S FOR REVIEW ONLY, AS WELL AS THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK.

AND WE GO THROUGH AND REVIEW THE TESTING MODEL EVERY YEAR JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UPDATED ON ANY LAWS OR CURRENT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE PUT IN THERE.

SO THAT HAS BEEN DONE.

WE'VE ALIGNED IT WITH THE MODEL HANDBOOK AND NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES WERE MADE FOR 23-24.

AWESOME. THANK YOU.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE.

OKAY. WE ALSO HAVE TENTATIVE AGENDAS FOR UPCOMING MEETINGS.

[4.C. Tentative Agendas for Upcoming Meetings]

FOLLOWING UP FROM THAT, WE ALSO HAVE THE BACK TO SCHOOL CONVOCATION SLATED FOR AUGUST 11TH AND 2023 BE HELD AT THE TIGER PIT.

WE ALSO HAVE THE FRENSHIP FOUNDATION 20TH ANNIVERSARY.

THEY HAVE AN EVENT IN AUGUST 12TH, 2023 AT THE PRIMA VISTA EVENT CENTER.

THEN WE HAVE THE TASB CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 29TH THROUGH OCTOBER 1ST, 2023.

THOSE OF YOU THAT DREW THE LUCKY STRAW ON THAT ONE, HAVE YOU ALL TOLD COBB HE DOESN'T BELIEVE ME WHEN HE TOLD ME.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN TOLD THAT IT WASN'T WRONG.

[00:40:01]

BE GLAD IT ISN'T HOUSTON.

I ALREADY SAID THAT, COACH.

HE VOLUNTEERED. OH, ABSOLUTELY.

FROM THE BEACH. FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.

IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED AT THIS TIME? THAT BEING SAID, MEETING STANDS ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.
