ON MARCH 26TH THE BOARD APPROVED A PROGRAM CHANGE REDUCTION IN FORCE RESOLUTION TO ELIMINATE A CERTIFIED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANT POSITION.

THE APPROPRIATE TIMELINE FOR THE AFFECTED EMPLOYEE TO REQUEST A HEARING BY THE BOARD HAS EXPIRED. THEREFORE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

NOT THAT I CAN TELL BUT DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE BOARD TAKE ACTION TO NON RENEW THE TERM CONTRACT OF MS. MADELINE BATES THOMPSON DUE TO THE PROGRAM CHANGE REDUCTION IN FORCE DECLARED BY THE BOARD AT ITS MARCH 26, 2020 BOARD MEETING AND AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT OR HER DESIGNEE TO DELIVER NOTICE OF THE BOARD'S ACTION TO THE EMPLOYEE IN ACCORDANCE OF STATE LAW.

[A. Strategic Plan Update]

MS. CINDI COBB. HI EVERYBODY.

HEY. TONIGHT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE HAS BEEN PUT IN THE INFORMATION SECTION IN YOUR PACKET.

SO I'M REALLY JUST HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

[B. Tentative Agendas for Upcoming Meetings]

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TENTATIVE AGENDAS FOR UPCOMING MEETINGS.

[00:15:02]

YOU GETTING ANY INFORMATION AT THIS [INAUDIBLE].

THERE'S NOT MUCH OUT THERE.

I DIDN'T FIGURE IT WOULD BE. EVERYBODY IS WAITING ON THE GOVERNOR HERE.

OVER HERE YEAH [INAUDIBLE] EVERYBODY WILL RELAX A LITTLE BIT.

MR. DRAPER, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT BUDGET WORKSHOP IS JUST OUR OVERALL PLAN FOR SAFELY REOPENING THE DISTRICT IN THE FALL.

AND WE DO PLAN TO REOPEN IN THE FALL AND WELCOME KIDS IN AUGUST.

BUT WE DO FEEL LIKE THAT GIVEN THIS LONG TERM CLOSURE THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IN AND AROUND THE PANDEMIC THAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD OUR FRAMEWORK FOR THE MAJOR OPERATING SYSTEMS OF THE DISTRICT AND THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE PLAN TO MAKE IN ORDER TO SAFELY INVITE STUDENTS BACK.

AND SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR SINCE THIS IS BEING RECORDED, THAT WE ARE WELCOMING STUDENTS BACK IN AUGUST, BUT WE DO NEED TO MAKE SOME OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS JUST TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO WE WANT TO SHARE A BROAD OVERVIEW OF THAT WITH THE BOARD ALONG WITH A BUDGET UPDATE IN JUNE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24TH.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING AT SEVEN THIRTY.

SO WE'RE NOT DOING OUR REGULAR BOARD MEETING AT THE REGULAR DATES.

WE MOVE BACK TO A SPECIAL MEETING.

CORRECT, ON THAT. YES.

WE'RE GOING TO A SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER.

A SPECIAL DAY.

[LAUGHTER] A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

AWESOME.

THEN NEXT ITEM WE HAVE UPCOMING EVENTS.

[C. Upcoming Events]

WHICH IS MAY 21ST 7:30 P.M.

AT THE REESE CENTER.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ANYONE THAT CAN ATTEND AND ACCOMPANY US OUT THERE.

I'M SURE IT'LL BE A GOOD TIME. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SLATED FOR JUNE 5TH 2020 AT 7:30 P.M.

AT PEOPLE'S BANK STADIUM.

I'M SURE AS WE GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THAT, WE'LL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INSTRUCTION OF THOSE THAT ARE PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.

I'M SURE DR.

MCCORD YOU WILL HAVE INPUT ONWHERE YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO BE AND MEET.

YES. YES. AND SO IF I COULD, MR. DRAPER, FOR AND I THINK WE DISCUSSED THIS BRIEFLY IN OUR ONE ON ONE MEETINGS, BUT FOR THE REESE EDUCATION CENTER GRADUATION, IF YOU COULD ARRIVE ABOUT 7:15.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IT'LL BE IN THE BACK PARKING LOT OF REESE EDUCATION CENTER.

THE REASON THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE THIS GRADUATION PRIOR TO JUNE 1ST IS THAT THIS IS WHAT I WOULD CALL A I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A DRIVE IN MOVIE.

SO IT'S NOT VIRTUAL, BUT KIND OF CURBSIDE KIND OF DRIVE IN MOVIE.

EACH STUDENT, EACH GRADUATE.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE 14 OR 15 GRADUATES.

EACH GRADUATE IS ALLOWED TO HAVE GUESTS COME IN A CAR AND THEN THEY'LL REMAIN.

THE GUESTS WILL REMAIN IN THEIR CAR.

AND THE GRADUATE WILL EXIT THE VEHICLE, WALK UP ONTO A RISER AND HAVE NO CONTACT WITH ANYONE, PICK UP THEIR DIPLOMA SLEEVE AND THEN GO BACK TO THEIR CAR.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE FOR THE RECORDING THAT THIS IS A LEGAL GRADUATION TO HAVE BEFORE JUNE 1ST.

ONLY WAY WE COULD DO IT.

ONLY WAY WE WOULD DO IT.

SO IF YOU ALL WILL BE THERE AT 7:15 IN CASUAL DRESS THEN WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] CETERA.

MR. HERNANDEZ ISN'T HERE IS HE.

NO HE'S NOT BUT ALSO, AS YOU MENTIONED, WE WE WILL BE PROVIDING MORE COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE OUTDOOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, WHICH IS AN IN-PERSON GRADUATION THAT WILL ADHERE TO ALL THE STATE AND LOCAL GUIDELINES AND LOTS OF I JUST WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. THEY'VE BEEN DOING TONS OF WORK AND THE WORK ISN'T OVER.

GREG HERNANDEZ AND HIS TEAM IS DOING A LOT OF WORK AS WELL BECAUSE WE HAVE A GRADUATION EVERY YEAR, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS.

AND SO WE'RE MAKING LOTS OF PLANS.

BUT THE OTHER THING THAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE HAVE TO COMMUNICATE LOTS OF THINGS TO THE

[00:20:06]

WE HAVE LOTS OF DEADLINES AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING CLEARLY, ALL OF THE EXPECTATIONS.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE [INAUDIBLE] I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT? LAST THURSDAY, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HELP OVER AT THE 9TH GRADE CENTER, TO GIVE OUT SOME LUNCHES TO SOME FOLKS THAT CAME BY.

AND I KNOW EVERY ONE OF YOU FOLKS THAT ARE SITTING OUT THERE AND ALSO HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU.

I MEAN, THE RESPONSE THAT I SAW FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WERE RECEIVING THOSE MEALS WAS REALLY OVERWHELMING WITH THE GRATITUDE THAT THEY HAD.

AND I'M JUST GLAD THAT WE'VE GOT ARAMARK.

I MEAN, I HAD TO LEAVE A LITTLE BIT EARLY.

BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THEY GAVE OUT ABOUT 600 LUNCHES THAT DAY.

BUT THEIR HIGH MARK OVER THERE I THINK WAS OVER 900 AT ONE TIME ON THE LUNCHES THEY GAVE OUT THERE. SO THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING FOR THAT.

AND IT MAKES ME PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I'M ON THE FRENSHIP SCHOOL BOARD.

THANK YOU.

WELL SAID. MR. MILLER I'M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP, BECAUSE I MEANT TO SAY THIS AND I FORGOT. IS THAT IN YOUR IN THE CONSENT AGENDA WE ALSO HAD OUR REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS THAT WAS APPROVED BY YOU IN THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT. AND SO WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL GUESTS HERE TONIGHT, IF YOU WOULD RISE.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO, BUT JOYCE TREVINO AND JOHN.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING THESE MEALS HAPPEN.

AND THEN ALSO OUR FOOD SERVICE CONTRACT HAS BEEN RENEWED.

IT'S BEEN APPROVED. AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF Y'ALL GOT A CHANCE TO SEE, BUT WE SURPASSED THE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND.

200.000.

YES. SO ANYTHING YA'LL WANT TO SAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET US STAY HERE FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS.

I TOLD YOU A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IN ONE OF MY REPORTS THAT I GOT HERE AND NOW IT'S FAMILY TO ME. SO IT WOULD HAVE BROKEN MY HEART IF I HAD TO LEAVE.

SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING US STAY HERE.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT ELSE WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT DISTRICT TO BE IN.

WE'RE HONORED TO BE.

AND THESE TWO THEY WHETHER IT'S, HEY, LET'S FEED PEOPLE FOR, YOU KNOW, COVID AND HEY, LET'S DO IT FOR SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT JOYCE DOES SHE MAY BE MEAN TO YOU, JOHN.

BUT TO ME SHE JUST SAYS OK.

LET ME FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT.

AND SO SHE ALWAYS JUST SAYS, LET ME FIGURE OUT A WAY.

AND SHE FIGURES THAT WAY, DOESN'T SHE TIM? YEAH. I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

AND SERIOUS SHE IS THE BEST DIRECTOR IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HER.

[APPLAUSE] WELL, LET ME ADD TOO I DO APPRECIATE YOUR GRATITUDE AND TRYING TO THANK US FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. BUT LET ME SAY IT'S BEEN WELL EARNED.

SO THIS ISN'T A ONE WAY STREET, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN A GREAT MEMBER OF THE FRENSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY AND EMBRACING FOR THAT TO CONTINUE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND I ALSO KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEER, BUT I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER COMPANY ATMOS ENERGY HAS KIND OF WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND IN MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NOT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE.

SO IF YOU SEE ANYBODY FROM ATMOS OUT THERE LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU APPRECIATE THEM.

THEY'VE BEEN AMAZING. WE APPRECIATE THEM.

LIKE WE LOOK FORWARD AS SOON AS THEY WALK IN AND IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE STAND AROUND JOB.

I MEAN, IT'S THEY'RE NOT JOKING.

IT'S WORK. I WILL NEED TO REACH OUT TO KELLY AND GET THEM TO COME.

KELLY WORKS THE NORTH RIDGE.

WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO

[00:25:02]

SO UNLESS THERE'S NEW NEWS IF THERE'S NEW NEWS BECAUSE THERE ALWAYS IS.

SO WE ARE THINKING HAS IT BEEN EXTENDED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE AT THE TWO BUSIEST SITES, WHICH ARE 9TH GRADE CENTER AND WEST WIND. SO WE HAVE KIND OF ONE IN THE SOUTH, ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MEALS THROUGH.

IS IT WHAT DAY.

TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS NOW, BUT IT'LL STILL BE SEVEN DAY FEEDING.

ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER. OK.

THROUGH THE SUMMER. SO REALLY GREAT.

I'M SAD ABOUT THE REGULAR TIGER BITES, BUT I'M REALLY GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE CONTINUING AS WE ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A HABIT.

FOLKS ARE IN THE HABIT OF COMING TO THOSE TWO SITES.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE USUALLY IN PLACE THAT ARE WAIVED RIGHT NOW, LIKE GETTING TO TAKE MULTIPLE MEALS, KIDS NOT NECESSARILY HAVING TO BE IN THE CAR.

DURING TIGER BITES THE CHILDREN HAVE TO COME.

YOU DON'T GET MULTIPLE MEALS.

YOU GET ONE MEAL AND YOU HAVE TO EAT AT LEAST PART OF IT THERE ON THE SITE.

AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR PEOPLE.

YES. THANK YOU.

GOOD NEWS. THAT BEING SAID, AGAIN, THANK ALL OF YOU FOR SHOWING UP, IF IT WAS VOLUNTARILY. IF NOT YOU CAME OUT WITH DR.

MCCORD THANK YOU ANYWAYS. WE DO APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND THE JOB THAT YOU DO. AND WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU IN ANY WAY FORM OR FASHION.

SO THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
