Sukai Durosimi: Okay, alright, cool, thank you.

33
00:03:46.590 --> 00:03:49.870
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: We'll get started right at 6. I have my agenda up.

34
00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:51.460
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

35
00:04:44.530 --> 00:04:45.849
Sukai Durosimi: Hey, Miss Joffrey.

36
00:04:48.460 --> 00:04:49.890
Jofee' Tremain: Good evening. Hi.

37
00:04:50.910 --> 00:04:52.050

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:35.429
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Hey, Doctor!

53
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.580
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Hey, I'm getting on my camera in just a second.

54
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:54.589
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: You're fine. Good, good evening, everyone. The time is now 6.01. We will go ahead and call this meeting to order.

55
00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:01.319
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Do we have any recognition, any public comments, anyone to address the board?

56
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.200
Sukai Durosimi: No, sir.

57
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.490
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, alright.

58
00:09:04.660 --> 00:09:09.820
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: So, the minutes are posted on Google Classroom for March 11th.

59
00:09:11.030 --> 00:09:12.480
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay…

60
00:09:14.260 --> 00:09:21.889
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Ms. Durasemi, I'm going to turn it over to you to go ahead and approve, for the organization chart.

61
00:09:22.770 --> 00:09:23.470
Sukai Durosimi: Yes.

62
00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:27.170
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: School plans, summer school plans…

63
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:33.059
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: And the… yeah, you have a list of things. I'm just gonna turn it over to you.

64
00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:34.390
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

65
00:09:34.390 --> 00:09:39.340
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: And we'll come back and just, looks like for approval, we need…

66
00:09:39.880 --> 00:09:45.019
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: We'll just take them one by one, but go ahead and present. We'll put out each time you present it.

67
00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:48.080
Sukai Durosimi: Okie dokie.

68
00:09:48.310 --> 00:09:51.100
Sukai Durosimi: Alright, let me get to the goals.

69
00:09:52.810 --> 00:09:54.200
Sukai Durosimi: the org chart?

70
00:09:54.670 --> 00:09:55.340
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

71
00:09:56.060 --> 00:10:02.340
Sukai Durosimi: So each year… well, wrong one, sorry. Each year, the board has to approve the…

72
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:08.930
Sukai Durosimi: chart for the… for the following year. For the most part, nothing really changed.

73
00:10:09.010 --> 00:10:22.700
Sukai Durosimi: Other than Ms. Ida actually fixed it, so you can see the whole thing instead of half of the org chart. So, there are really no changes to it other than for it to be approved by the board.

74
00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:25.100
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

75
00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:26.220
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Any questions?

76
00:10:27.030 --> 00:10:27.730
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Go ahead.

77
00:10:27.970 --> 00:10:31.320
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, do you want me to keep going, or do you want to approve each one?

78
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.889
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I was just gonna go to each one, and that way we'll… we can approve it as you go.

79
00:10:36.510 --> 00:10:37.310
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, okay.

80
00:10:37.310 --> 00:10:41.420
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, any questions from the board on the EFWMA org chart?

81
00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:44.100
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: No questions!

82
00:10:44.180 --> 00:10:46.159
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Can I get a motion to approve?

83
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:47.960
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve.

84
00:10:48.470 --> 00:10:49.289
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Can I get a.

85
00:10:50.470 --> 00:10:51.040
Aida Aguilar: Oh.

86
00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:57.460
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you. It has been moved and properly seconded. It is unanimous. Motion has been approved.

87
00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:00.380
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Go ahead with your summer school plans, Mr. Sami.

88
00:11:00.380 --> 00:11:03.699
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, yes, summer school plans.

89
00:11:03.890 --> 00:11:07.390
Sukai Durosimi: Also, let me see…

90
00:11:13.790 --> 00:11:30.969
Sukai Durosimi: They're basically, the same as last year. The only difference is that this year, we are… it's the daily schedule, so this year, we have students making up attendance will leave at noon.

91
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:47.169
Sukai Durosimi: And then students attending for academic support will leave at 3 instead of 3.30. It gives teachers time to do some work and prep for the next day from at least 3 to 3.30, so we'll have,

92
00:11:47.260 --> 00:11:55.859
Sukai Durosimi: Enrichment people, dismiss the students, and then teachers… teachers that are staying till 3 can prep.

93
00:11:55.860 --> 00:12:13.370
Sukai Durosimi: Teachers that are not staying till 3 can leave at noon, so we're trying to make sure that teachers are… that are teaching for summer school also get a break without staying there the whole day. That's the only difference that, that changed.

94
00:12:13.370 --> 00:12:16.329
Sukai Durosimi: And the theme for this year is Nature Explorers.

95
00:12:18.910 --> 00:12:19.680
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Interest.

96
00:12:20.470 --> 00:12:23.720
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome, awesome, awesome. Any questions from the board?

97
00:12:23.910 --> 00:12:27.089
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: On the summer school plans.

98
00:12:27.970 --> 00:12:33.189
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: No questions. I like the attendance leaving at 12, that's a long day to sit.

99
00:12:35.050 --> 00:12:36.169
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: It is.

100
00:12:36.710 --> 00:12:37.660
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Variety.

101
00:12:37.760 --> 00:12:41.870
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: So, if no questions, can I get a motion to approve the summer school plans?

102
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.349
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve the summer school plans.

103
00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:45.840
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alright, can I get a second?

104
00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.430
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Second?

105
00:12:50.430 --> 00:12:52.719
Aida Aguilar: Miss Sandy, can you hear them?

106
00:12:54.140 --> 00:12:55.720
Aida Aguilar: Yes, I can hear you.

107
00:12:56.300 --> 00:13:00.030
Aida Aguilar: They're asking for a motion to… a second motion.

108
00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:01.220
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: A second.

109
00:13:01.270 --> 00:13:05.010
Aida Aguilar: Second that, I'm sorry, I thought my mute was on partnered.

110
00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:13.870
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you. It has been moved and probably second. That motion is approved. It is unanimous. Go ahead with your LSG goals, Mr. Same.

111
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:19.279
Sukai Durosimi: All right, the great thing is this year, it's a lot of repeats,

112
00:13:19.290 --> 00:13:30.939
Sukai Durosimi: The LSG goals are 5 years. They will expire in 2029, so each year I'll bring basically the same goals to the board.

113
00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:40.159
Sukai Durosimi: For this year, for 2025-2026, the goal for reading is 72%.

114
00:13:40.170 --> 00:13:59.510
Sukai Durosimi: That's where we want our kids to be, school-wide. Last year, the team did very well. We surpassed the 67, so we're looking to surpass the 72 as well. There were a couple of things that, at the end,

115
00:13:59.610 --> 00:14:19.069
Sukai Durosimi: After going through the training with the lady that trained us on the board, they wanted us to add some CCMR goals, which we did. Currently, the 4th and 5th graders are working on their Google portfolio. There's been some university campus visits.

116
00:14:19.070 --> 00:14:31.309
Sukai Durosimi: There's also been a career fair where we, Ms. Jofei invited some speakers to come speak to the kiddos. What else?

117
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:47.950
Sukai Durosimi: the flashcards and summarizing and mapping that's been going on. Kindergarten and first grade, they're working on. We have not started that, but we hope to implement that next year. There are some things

118
00:14:48.640 --> 00:15:06.290
Sukai Durosimi: that they, the teacher, to kind of get under control this year. Once that happened, I think that next year will be a good start, and then they'll be able to implement… we'll be able to phase this in. I'm not sure even if it will start right away.

119
00:15:06.290 --> 00:15:14.619
Sukai Durosimi: when school starts, but we'll be able to phase it in so that we can be compliant with what the LSG goals are. So…

120
00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:25.720
Sukai Durosimi: The same thing other than ensuring that the CCMR goals were added last year, and we've implemented most of them this year.

121
00:15:28.300 --> 00:15:29.100
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

122
00:15:29.420 --> 00:15:32.100
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome. Any questions from the board?

123
00:15:32.530 --> 00:15:34.879
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: on the LSU goals.

124
00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:37.260
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: No question.

125
00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:41.530
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Right, can I get a motion to approve LSG calls?

126
00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:43.979
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve LSG goals.

127
00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.569
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome, can I get a second?

128
00:15:47.660 --> 00:15:51.030
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you. It has been moved and properly seconded. It is unanimous.

129
00:15:51.170 --> 00:15:54.199
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alright, let's talk about this teacher incentive allotment.

130
00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.790
Sukai Durosimi: Yes.

131
00:15:56.070 --> 00:15:58.350
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, goodness.

132
00:15:58.910 --> 00:16:16.490
Sukai Durosimi: So, we had 3 teachers eligible, and 2 currently designated. One was approved, one was denied. So that teacher will try again next year.

133
00:16:16.570 --> 00:16:36.150
Sukai Durosimi: We've been in the program now for 7 years. So, I'm sure you guys know what teacher incentive allotment is. It is a program that TEA put in place for schools to recognize effective teachers across Texas.

134
00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:46.359
Sukai Durosimi: And also to provide some intentional incentives for teachers that are doing well, and to attract and retain good teachers.

135
00:16:46.710 --> 00:16:50.080
Sukai Durosimi: So, we built a system, basically.

136
00:16:50.150 --> 00:17:09.830
Sukai Durosimi: close to what TA is requiring. We didn't want to be far off, because that wouldn't be fair. We wanted at least our teachers to be able to meet those cutoff scores so that they could be designated. There are 3 designations that a teacher could have, which is master.

137
00:17:09.829 --> 00:17:17.960
Sukai Durosimi: exemplary and recognized, and right now, I believe we have a… Master Teacher.

138
00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:24.490
Sukai Durosimi: And the designation stipend is $23,291.

139
00:17:24.609 --> 00:17:28.100
Sukai Durosimi: And so, that person is Ms. Reza.

140
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:45.050
Sukai Durosimi: She will keep it for 3 years. Now, if her observation rating on t-tests is lower, and her projected measurable goals for her students are lower, she may lose the status and drop down 1,

141
00:17:45.050 --> 00:17:55.450
Sukai Durosimi: it's really up to the discretion of TA what they do, but for the most part, she will keep it for 3 years, and then after that, she'll restart all over again.

142
00:17:55.450 --> 00:18:10.570
Sukai Durosimi: She doesn't really get to keep that $23,000, but we'll talk about it a little later down in the presentation. This is our local designation system. Student growth measure is 60%.

143
00:18:10.570 --> 00:18:15.329
Sukai Durosimi: It's exactly what TEA is, and then,

144
00:18:15.330 --> 00:18:33.580
Sukai Durosimi: T-tests, which is the teacher observation, is 40%, with a focus on domains 2 and 3, which is instruction and classroom management, because you really need those two things for those kids to actually, learn and meet their growth measures.

145
00:18:33.750 --> 00:18:51.179
Sukai Durosimi: To reach the cutoff score for, student growth measure, I recognize you need 55% of your students meeting or exceeding growth. Exemplary is at 60%, and then mastery is at 70%.

146
00:18:51.610 --> 00:19:04.929
Sukai Durosimi: For t-tests, recognize the cutoff score is 3.7, that's the average, the exemplary is 3.9, and mastery is at 4.5.

147
00:19:04.930 --> 00:19:18.470
Sukai Durosimi: So, a teacher would need to meet those two cutoff scores, and there's a calculation that goes with it for them to be able to meet either recognized, exemplary, or mastery.

148
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:34.799
Sukai Durosimi: So, as the district, we are committed to doing the heavy lifting. Ms. Jofe has been doing all the observations and the t-test observations. Ms. Ida does the financial part of it.

149
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:52.199
Sukai Durosimi: And I do the calculation part of the cutoff scores, and then completing the application. There are times that I do work closely with Region 11, because I want to make sure that after a while, I think all three of us, we get tired of looking at a screen, so…

150
00:19:52.630 --> 00:20:04.949
Sukai Durosimi: One of us can even look at it and still miss something, so it's good to have, a neutral person that can look at it and say, yes, it's correct, or you need to tweak some things.

151
00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:21.839
Sukai Durosimi: So, we go through our annual t-tests, we went through our data collection and growth tracking, we submit our application, we just paid the fees, so that's another thing, too. Even though TEA gives us this money.

152
00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:36.590
Sukai Durosimi: It's not really… it's free for the teachers, but the school has to pay a fee to kind of be in the club, per se, so we just wrote… we just paid them more, $2,500.

153
00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:51.760
Sukai Durosimi: And so, that's the fee that we have to pay. We go through data reviews, so Ms. Joseph and I, we've done a Phase 1 meeting, which we were looking at

154
00:20:51.760 --> 00:21:00.470
Sukai Durosimi: If there are any trends, which one of the reasons we, this year, one of our,

155
00:21:00.470 --> 00:21:11.469
Sukai Durosimi: domains was rejected, and that was part of, a couple of things, and I'll get into that, actually, a little later. But we do… we did meet. We have a part two.

156
00:21:11.470 --> 00:21:22.989
Sukai Durosimi: for data review. And then, the sixth part will be stipends distribution. We have to make sure that all monies that have to be paid

157
00:21:22.990 --> 00:21:33.110
Sukai Durosimi: to any teacher with a designation should be paid out August 31st in one lump sum. And they get 90% of that amount.

158
00:21:33.800 --> 00:21:42.739
Sukai Durosimi: The, 10% goes to Region 11, so that we can have someone calibrate with us.

159
00:21:44.510 --> 00:21:57.980
Sukai Durosimi: One of the things that we learned with TIA is that sometimes, which we don't have that, but sometimes we have teachers that push back on observations, and to keep it, consistent.

160
00:21:57.980 --> 00:22:12.570
Sukai Durosimi: We have some people that calibrate with Ms. Jofei, so we had, Region Levin that did some calibrations with Ms. Jofei this year, and then also Ms. Jofei does her own walkthroughs, and,

161
00:22:13.010 --> 00:22:17.900
Sukai Durosimi: And she's able to complete the, observation and summatives.

162
00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:37.719
Sukai Durosimi: So, our overall score was 7.22 out of 45 possible points, and we failed one of our domains. And this is because we don't have a big pot of teachers. We have about, what, 9 teachers? And out of that.

163
00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:46.400
Sukai Durosimi: For last year, because last year was a data submission, only 3 were able to kind of

164
00:22:46.410 --> 00:23:05.660
Sukai Durosimi: make the cut, not meet the cutoff scores, but make the cut. And by that, I mean… so, like, we shifted some teachers that were instructional coaches to teachers. So if you missed about 10 days, you're off the running. You cannot be part of TIA.

165
00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:13.090
Sukai Durosimi: If you're a teacher and you are absent more than those 10 days, you are off from running.

166
00:23:13.190 --> 00:23:17.950
Sukai Durosimi: There is… there's, like, one more thing that if,

167
00:23:19.030 --> 00:23:24.529
Sukai Durosimi: If you're not part of that, I can't remember top of my head what it is.

168
00:23:24.780 --> 00:23:28.619
Sukai Durosimi: Maybe I'll remember now, and I'll be able to tell you guys.

169
00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:32.520
Sukai Durosimi: So, one of them, one of the teachers,

170
00:23:33.610 --> 00:23:40.199
Sukai Durosimi: Part of her issue, or the problem was, She had a good observation.

171
00:23:40.220 --> 00:23:52.900
Sukai Durosimi: But her students did not meet the… or her… I wouldn't say her students. Her growth measures, her student growth measures, did not meet the cutoff. And what TEA says is.

172
00:23:52.900 --> 00:24:07.119
Sukai Durosimi: it should align. If a teacher's doing well, then the teacher's growth, student growth measure should align. Which, right now, some schools are pushing back because

173
00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:19.139
Sukai Durosimi: Last year, that teacher had more than a handful of SPED students, and those SPED students are working at the level that they're supposed to be working on.

174
00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:32.290
Sukai Durosimi: And we can't expect that some SPED students should be working on grade level when they have IEP goals. So, as much as the teacher did not meet the student growth measure.

175
00:24:34.630 --> 00:24:47.009
Sukai Durosimi: the students at least made some growth, which, yes, campus-wide, we celebrate that, but TA does not. So that was one of our findings that we have to work through, and that's part of

176
00:24:47.010 --> 00:25:04.549
Sukai Durosimi: our meetings with Ms. Jofei. So, when you look at our verification checklist, we missed a lot of it because we don't have a pool big enough. We don't… we have 10 teachers, 3 of them made the cut, and one of them was designated.

177
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:12.159
Sukai Durosimi: What we're doing well. We have a strong observation score, which was good.

178
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:27.630
Sukai Durosimi: We have a moderate designation rating alignment, so as much as they were saying this one teacher did not do well, when they looked at all the other teachers that we submitted, they were able to see that there were… it wasn't that off.

179
00:25:27.760 --> 00:25:34.060
Sukai Durosimi: We don't have a pipeline yet for national board certification for teachers.

180
00:25:34.150 --> 00:25:51.049
Sukai Durosimi: Our student growth is near standards. The district does absorb all the administrative burden, so teachers can do what they do, and we have a transparent and fair-cut score system, which is aligned to TEAs.

181
00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:59.369
Sukai Durosimi: And this is our area for improvement, because we've looked at the root cause analysis through the,

182
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:09.919
Sukai Durosimi: It's like a district analysis assessment report that they send us. A negative correlation in the one area, we're working on that.

183
00:26:10.190 --> 00:26:27.010
Sukai Durosimi: Our observation scores is below state performance standards, and that's just based on the one teacher, and an insufficient sample size, which that's what I've been talking about, about the amount of teachers that were submitted and met the score.

184
00:26:27.580 --> 00:26:38.399
Sukai Durosimi: Our action plan is we're doing exactly that right now. We're meeting with… I'm meeting with Ms. Jofei. We have Phase 2 of that meeting coming.

185
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:55.529
Sukai Durosimi: We're going to go through the t-test observations that she had this year. We had calibrators that, neutrally worked with her. We're going to make sure that our growth measures align with the teacher's, observations.

186
00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:58.500
Sukai Durosimi: And then, hopefully.

187
00:26:58.810 --> 00:27:07.079
Sukai Durosimi: In the maybe near future, we'll have maybe some teachers that are interested in doing the national board certification.

188
00:27:08.690 --> 00:27:26.579
Sukai Durosimi: The way we, allocate dollars to teacher incentive allotment, it used to be that it was 80% going to the teachers, 20% going to, like, enrichment specialists, and then,

189
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:36.840
Sukai Durosimi: But now, it's 90% going to the teachers. It used to be 10% going to the campus pool, now it's 0%. And…

190
00:27:36.950 --> 00:27:52.140
Sukai Durosimi: It doesn't mean that those people don't get anything. We've… we have found… the campus has found different ways to compensate and give stipends to those people. And then, of course, the 10% has stayed the same for district operations.

191
00:27:52.150 --> 00:28:02.810
Sukai Durosimi: And the operation, basically, it goes to calibration fees. It doesn't even go for application fees, because it doesn't… it doesn't meet

192
00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:05.750
Sukai Durosimi: It doesn't meet up.

193
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:22.849
Sukai Durosimi: All right, so there are some questions I have at the end. It's not any questions you have to answer now, but you can if you choose to, or you can send me an email. And basically, what TEA asks for is that the board

194
00:28:22.850 --> 00:28:29.440
Sukai Durosimi: can give input. Teachers can give input as well. They're doing a…

195
00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:41.579
Sukai Durosimi: teacher sample report for me. I did it a little different this year for teacher incentives, so when they turn it in, we would have a hard copy, so in case,

196
00:28:41.780 --> 00:28:50.519
Sukai Durosimi: TA or TIA ever asked about, do you ask your stakeholders? We actually have a solid, concrete evidence

197
00:28:50.520 --> 00:29:02.350
Sukai Durosimi: That I can produce, and if the board chooses to, they can send something as well, either as a team or individually, and I'll have that concrete evidence as well.

198
00:29:04.810 --> 00:29:09.349
Sukai Durosimi: So, that ends my presentation for TIA.

199
00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:11.660
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

200
00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:19.540
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alright, so, so you have two items, that's TIA, that's… was that the validation presentation as well?

201
00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:22.230
Sukai Durosimi: Let me see…

202
00:29:22.230 --> 00:29:24.810
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: As well as the 10% of allotment Plan.

203
00:29:25.090 --> 00:29:31.629
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, so the TIA validation, yes, and then I have the district validation report that I have to present.

204
00:29:32.510 --> 00:29:34.730
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Can I ask some questions about TIA?

205
00:29:34.730 --> 00:29:36.190
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, ma'am.

206
00:29:36.190 --> 00:29:37.260
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay.

207
00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:47.100
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So, the 10% that the school can keep for the operations that are,

208
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:56.200
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Is there an alternative way to do these calibrations where you're not giving your money back to Region 11?

209
00:30:00.630 --> 00:30:03.650
Sukai Durosimi: Well… So…

210
00:30:04.290 --> 00:30:17.279
Sukai Durosimi: I can do the calibrations, but I try not to do them, because if something happens, then I have to be the next layer that the concern comes to.

211
00:30:17.810 --> 00:30:33.659
Sukai Durosimi: We, so when we had instructional coaches, if they were T-Test certified, then they can do it with Ms. Jofei, but because our instructional coaches, the one that we have now is in the classroom.

212
00:30:33.730 --> 00:30:42.690
Sukai Durosimi: she can't come out to do instructional coaches, because then she'll be missing instructional time. Right. And so…

213
00:30:42.950 --> 00:30:49.099
Sukai Durosimi: No… well, let me now say no, I don't… I don't have another idea.

214
00:30:49.250 --> 00:31:00.899
Sukai Durosimi: So Virgin Levin is who we have come in, and because they're already coming in for, HMH and, Eureka, that's part of…

215
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:09.959
Sukai Durosimi: We added that to, like, their contract to say they can do some calibrations with us, some observations with us, with Ms. Joe Fake.

216
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:22.520
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay, so that's not something… and you don't have to… because I just want you to think outside of the box. I mean, I'm TTES certified, I mean, if you need somebody to calibrate, but…

217
00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:24.040
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, please, come through.

218
00:31:24.040 --> 00:31:42.220
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Yeah, it's… yeah, we just have to coordinate my… if you coordinate my schedule in advance, I can come calibrate with you, and you don't have to be paying out that… you're… because I hate… see, I was the t-test for… I was the TIA personnel, Region 11, so that's why I'm looking like…

219
00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:47.759
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Why we're giving that money right back that the state is giving?

220
00:31:47.950 --> 00:32:03.629
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So if that's something that we can look at, or even just some, some people that will volunteer, that are, they could be retired, they could be, you know, just to get that expense off. That's just something to think out of the box going forward.

221
00:32:04.020 --> 00:32:10.890
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Then I thought about the National Board Certification Pathway. Now, if you do that.

222
00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:18.220
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: That requires a lot of support, because that's like doing a master's degree.

223
00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:33.759
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So, it's that rigorous to do. So, consider if that's a pathway you're gonna offer for your teacher, and you all already do a lot to try to take things off a teacher's plate, but if you put that… if a teacher takes that on.

224
00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:49.179
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: you're thinking about even more coming off of their plate, because that's really all-consuming. So, while it's great to have a teacher on your campus that's national board certified, just consider that there's a lot of… there's a lot that goes into that.

225
00:32:50.300 --> 00:32:51.160
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah.

226
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:58.259
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: And then my other question was, so they only keep it for 3 years, not 5, that designation?

227
00:32:58.890 --> 00:33:02.589
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, that's what they said. They said 3 years.

228
00:33:03.350 --> 00:33:15.750
Sukai Durosimi: So, I may have to check on that. The last time, it was 5. So, maybe, wait, maybe I think the reason why I'm saying 3 is because Ms. Reza's had it now for 2 years, so she has 3 remaining years left.

229
00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:16.659
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay, okay.

230
00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:18.770
Sukai Durosimi: Yes. Sorry about that, yes.

231
00:33:19.010 --> 00:33:25.539
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay, I was just… I was like, that changed? Because that's awful. Okay, so yeah, so they keep it 5 years, a designation. Okay.

232
00:33:26.170 --> 00:33:41.860
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay, and throughout going, leading up to… because I know that application stuff is really tricky, it really is, and it's a good thing that you're doing the office hours and different things, but reaching 11 to, like, to make sure that that's on point.

233
00:33:41.990 --> 00:33:50.640
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: But, leading up to… Getting, like, Are you…

234
00:33:51.450 --> 00:33:54.449
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: More on an interim basis, taking their…

235
00:33:54.450 --> 00:33:55.240
Sukai Durosimi: Fair enough.

236
00:33:56.110 --> 00:34:03.460
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Student growth, or their student… Growth and looking at it compared to how they're grading in class.

237
00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:08.380
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Because, like, for instance… I'm saying that… I'm saying this wrong.

238
00:34:08.710 --> 00:34:15.110
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Their student growth… Like, on their map scores and things like that.

239
00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:32.140
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: And comparing that to how they're grading, because a lot of times, there's a correlation there that has a whole lot that will disqualify someone. So, like, when I was taking a district through their process, I wanted to see, okay, did the students' grades

240
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:35.560
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Match what they're looking at, what they, like, they're testing.

241
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:49.519
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: And that… having those conversations with teachers, because then it becomes more pure, and then that student growth can… you can really, really map that student growth best. So, you don't have to necessarily answer that right now, but…

242
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.460
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: That's something to think about.

243
00:34:53.469 --> 00:35:08.989
Sukai Durosimi: Ms. Joffrey can answer it, because I believe that's what she's been doing. When I can say from… on my part, when I look at the growth measures, I'm looking at the pre- and post-maps, data, because that's part of our application.

244
00:35:11.550 --> 00:35:19.810
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So, what I… what I see where teachers don't make the mark with… with this is they'll have student grades inflated.

245
00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:26.399
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: and then are disappointed when they are not as successful on their STAR test.

246
00:35:26.550 --> 00:35:35.799
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So that is something, to me, just kind of enforcing that that can look like a ding on your t-test.

247
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:43.570
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: If your grades are not matching your mastery, but instead of Versus their responsibility.

248
00:35:43.870 --> 00:35:44.460
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: So…

249
00:35:45.000 --> 00:36:01.930
Sukai Durosimi: So, you know, actually, I can actually speak to that, too, because, there is a weekly exit ticket that happens, so we look at the exit tickets to see how many kids are mastering and what's the going back, but then,

250
00:36:01.930 --> 00:36:16.830
Sukai Durosimi: I also believe that Ms. Jofei does a spot check with grades to see what the grades are, and then, does it match what they say they're doing? So there are these random checks that were hap… that are happening, and…

251
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:26.879
Sukai Durosimi: their weekly or bi-weekly coaching. I'm sure there's a conversation, but I think she can… if she can jump in, that would be great.

252
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:33.689
Jofee' Tremain: So what we've done this year is every grading, marking period.

253
00:36:33.930 --> 00:36:42.720
Jofee' Tremain: We actually have a conversation regarding every student's grade to make sure that it actually does match the performance of what they are doing.

254
00:36:42.720 --> 00:37:01.769
Jofee' Tremain: So that is at the end of every grading cycle. We did not do it at the end of the third one, because that was around the same time as, MOI, so that MOI and grading cycle became one conversation. And so, Student Services, which is Ms. Debbie and Ms. Liz,

255
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:10.380
Jofee' Tremain: Dyslexia, ESL, and SPED. They were required to be a part of those conversations, so our next round is coming up here with EOI.

256
00:37:10.510 --> 00:37:33.950
Jofee' Tremain: And, Mr. Simi's correct, we have daily exit tickets, and then weekly summaries, and then those are brought to the table, starting with MOI, those deep conversations with the exit summaries and student evidence connected to strategies that were used to constantly have those conversations about whether or not student performance really does match.

257
00:37:33.950 --> 00:37:57.149
Jofee' Tremain: So when students are taking STAR right now, no one should be surprised if the student approaches, meets, or masters. So that's how we actually started the school year. Can parents actually look at the report card and really, truly believe what they see on the report card? Does that really match the performance of the student? So that's how we started the entire

258
00:37:57.270 --> 00:38:03.239
Jofee' Tremain: year, because star is a summary and is reactive.

259
00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:10.310
Jofee' Tremain: so we've been hitting Tier 1 conversation since we started.

260
00:38:10.850 --> 00:38:13.570
Jofee' Tremain: Perfect. Yes, ma'am. Perfect.

261
00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:14.530
Jofee' Tremain: Yep.

262
00:38:16.590 --> 00:38:21.059
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Nice, nice, nice. Any additional questions from the board?

263
00:38:26.410 --> 00:38:30.359
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alrighty, so, with that being said,

264
00:38:30.590 --> 00:38:37.219
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: So, the action… the ask that you're… that you're putting on the table, Ms. Durasemi, is…

265
00:38:37.560 --> 00:38:41.909
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: You're needing us to provide feedback on the TIA?

266
00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:44.090
Sukai Durosimi: Yes.

267
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:44.980
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

268
00:38:45.390 --> 00:38:49.590
Sukai Durosimi: And I believe it also… I don't know,

269
00:38:51.070 --> 00:38:59.059
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, you're just acknowledging the TIA report, but also you can provide feedback,

270
00:38:59.420 --> 00:39:04.780
Sukai Durosimi: on TIA. And you can do it, like I said, as a group or individually.

271
00:39:06.790 --> 00:39:08.030
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

272
00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:19.649
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Well, I definitely don't know enough about TIA, no more than what I've heard, and what I've seen on the, in the documents. I mean, of course, that's not an excuse.

273
00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:24.150
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: But we can definitely… I'm open, from the board, we can do it together as a group.

274
00:39:25.570 --> 00:39:30.030
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Dr. Webb seems to be very versed in that area.

275
00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:34.239
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Listening to the depthness of the conversation.

276
00:39:34.700 --> 00:39:43.739
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I was definitely listening. I know y'all, you know, I'm looking at work, but I'm listening at the same time, so we can, is there a deadline?

277
00:39:45.330 --> 00:39:48.989
Sukai Durosimi: By the end of April is fine, or beginning of May.

278
00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:52.959
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: And there's a particular form you'd like for us to fill out?

279
00:39:53.570 --> 00:40:03.069
Sukai Durosimi: No, so there's some questions here. You can choose to answer all of them, or just do a summary.

280
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:04.990
Sukai Durosimi: It's up to the board.

281
00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:05.480
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay.

282
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:11.380
Sukai Durosimi: These were just questions I kind of just thought about and took from their templates, so…

283
00:40:14.510 --> 00:40:15.120
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Okay.

284
00:40:15.970 --> 00:40:24.480
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay. Dr. Webb, how do you think the best way would be to approach this? Is this something you want to do separate, off the call, or…

285
00:40:26.200 --> 00:40:31.600
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Yeah, I can knock that out pretty quickly, so… I got…

286
00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:32.500
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Got it.

287
00:40:33.950 --> 00:40:36.340
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Perfect, okay, we'll make that happen.

288
00:40:36.550 --> 00:40:42.399
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alright, so… moving… there's nothing we need to vote on, right? So we're just looking at,

289
00:40:43.210 --> 00:40:47.820
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: what you just presented, and you need to get that information back to you. Is that what I'm hearing?

290
00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:50.279
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, sir.

291
00:40:50.590 --> 00:40:54.670
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, great. So let's move on to the…

292
00:40:55.090 --> 00:40:59.100
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Approval of the Region 11 Co-op Agreement. Is that…

293
00:40:59.100 --> 00:41:02.780
Sukai Durosimi: I… no, I have one more. I have the district.

294
00:41:02.780 --> 00:41:04.349
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Validation report. Oh, that's right.

295
00:41:04.350 --> 00:41:06.560
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, the safety one, yes.

296
00:41:10.610 --> 00:41:20.250
Sukai Durosimi: I'm sorry. Ms. Ida, can you do me a favor? Ms. Bay is looking for the link that I sent her. Can you please, help her out?

297
00:41:20.250 --> 00:41:21.170
Aida Aguilar: Yes, ma'am.

298
00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:22.370
Sukai Durosimi: Thank you.

299
00:41:23.060 --> 00:41:28.560
Sukai Durosimi: Alright, oh, that's the… Wrong one.

300
00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:35.320
Sukai Durosimi: Alright, yes.

301
00:41:36.040 --> 00:41:38.290
Sukai Durosimi: So,

302
00:41:38.910 --> 00:41:51.570
Sukai Durosimi: Oh my gosh, this… this thing is such a pain in the neck. So, the District Vulnerability Assessment Report, there are 10 categories… 10 categories that we were assessed in,

303
00:41:52.590 --> 00:42:05.530
Sukai Durosimi: 31 items pass, 32 require corrective action, which I'm not happy about. However, it's… it's doable, it's just very tedious.

304
00:42:05.600 --> 00:42:19.900
Sukai Durosimi: Let me see… So, our district vulnerability assessment looks at a couple of things, which is our multi-hazard plan, our annexes, any safety and security findings.

305
00:42:19.950 --> 00:42:34.090
Sukai Durosimi: Security committee information, threat assessment of facility standards, armed security or good cause, peace officer training requirement, or good cause.

306
00:42:34.090 --> 00:42:44.039
Sukai Durosimi: Training requirements, mental health training, notification regarding violent activity, and our grant funding requirements.

307
00:42:44.520 --> 00:42:49.829
Sukai Durosimi: So, what… I'm starting with what we're doing well.

308
00:42:49.990 --> 00:42:57.389
Sukai Durosimi: We have secured our perimeter, we have communication readiness, we have bleeding controls.

309
00:42:57.390 --> 00:43:12.250
Sukai Durosimi: Visitor access controls. We have a safety and security committee, which the board votes on and approves each year, and every quarter, we have a safety and security meeting, which also doubles up as our…

310
00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:14.069
Sukai Durosimi: Safe,

311
00:43:14.630 --> 00:43:29.079
Sukai Durosimi: site base, and our shack, and everything else, because we're small, and it doesn't require several meetings, so we do one big meeting. We have our emergency operation plans, our drills.

312
00:43:29.520 --> 00:43:37.709
Sukai Durosimi: And silent panic alert, campus maps, keys to access, and then door and window construction.

313
00:43:45.370 --> 00:43:50.490
Sukai Durosimi: So, why do we have so many findings? Because…

314
00:43:50.780 --> 00:44:03.730
Sukai Durosimi: TO has made some changes to their platforms, and they love 2.0, and when some things go 2.0, things change, things get moved.

315
00:44:03.850 --> 00:44:08.180
Sukai Durosimi: Things get deleted, and so,

316
00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:11.860
Sukai Durosimi: It means that now I need to resubmit.

317
00:44:11.970 --> 00:44:28.719
Sukai Durosimi: most of our forms over again. Some templates I have to redo, because there's a new template, even though we just went through the Texas Safety Center audit, and we passed that with flying colors. Great for us, but…

318
00:44:28.900 --> 00:44:41.340
Sukai Durosimi: Sentinel wants the new platform, so it means kind of starting all over again. Some of them, it means actually just looking at which parts were changed, and then

319
00:44:41.350 --> 00:44:53.110
Sukai Durosimi: cutting those and pasting those into the former templates. I plan to get that done. I've been pasting myself, just like I'm pacing myself with the…

320
00:44:53.270 --> 00:44:58.500
Sukai Durosimi: board policies, the school policies, and the student code of conduct.

321
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:03.609
Sukai Durosimi: And I hope to have most of them done by June.

322
00:45:03.730 --> 00:45:05.620
Sukai Durosimi: Because it's due in July.

323
00:45:06.430 --> 00:45:11.870
Sukai Durosimi: What is… what do we require for our corrective actions?

324
00:45:11.930 --> 00:45:31.030
Sukai Durosimi: breaching tools, which I've put in the purchase order. Funny enough, we had a meeting, we had Surgeon Owens come out for us to look at the breaching tools and the ballistic tools, because I didn't want to buy any of them without,

325
00:45:31.860 --> 00:45:51.460
Sukai Durosimi: kind of testing them out, what they felt like. I know that some ballistic tools take a lot of upper body strength and muscles, and there's no point in buying something that we're not going to be able to use. So they were able to come, a couple of us were able to try it out. At the same time, though, the other people couldn't do it because

326
00:45:51.500 --> 00:45:55.020
Sukai Durosimi: to help ESL, something with ESL was going on that day.

327
00:45:55.160 --> 00:46:06.129
Sukai Durosimi: So, we were also gonna go on-site to try using these tools and, like, ramming a few things to see if we can actually get the swing of things.

328
00:46:06.270 --> 00:46:14.359
Sukai Durosimi: But the surgeon went on vacation, and the other surgeon wasn't willing to host us, so…

329
00:46:14.630 --> 00:46:20.560
Sukai Durosimi: They gave us a contact, and we've chose some ballistic tools and shields.

330
00:46:20.590 --> 00:46:34.759
Sukai Durosimi: And we have put in the purchase order for it. We need to do some exterior door numbering, so the numbering on the patios, we need to add that. And actually, we're just going to change all the numbers, because

331
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:42.820
Sukai Durosimi: He wanted 5 inch, we decided to buy 6 inch, so they can all see it from the inside of the building and the outside of the building.

332
00:46:42.820 --> 00:46:55.459
Sukai Durosimi: Doors that do not auto-close, latch and lock, and those doors are the ones upstairs. So, none on the campus side, but some

333
00:46:55.460 --> 00:47:09.209
Sukai Durosimi: where we are. So we need to make sure that we're also safe and secure. Black Hawk did come out two weeks ago, and, two guys came out, they checked out, they measured some stuff.

334
00:47:09.210 --> 00:47:26.360
Sukai Durosimi: there's some things they need to check. I think I spoke to Ms. Ida last week to follow up with them, because they came out, measured, did all of that, told us what they need to buy. We've been talking about, like, there's a door, there are two doors, which are

335
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:43.570
Sukai Durosimi: They're inside the yard, but there are exit doors, and they keep sticking. Every time there's a shift in the foundation, it doesn't close properly, or something like that, and we don't really want that happening. Even though the gate is locked all day long.

336
00:47:43.570 --> 00:47:49.719
Sukai Durosimi: we just want to continue to prioritize safety. So,

337
00:47:49.730 --> 00:47:54.459
Sukai Durosimi: They said they were going to come in, change the outward,

338
00:47:54.560 --> 00:48:19.390
Sukai Durosimi: the little things that close, and put it inside the latch system. So we're hoping that they can just get it done, and they can stop taking other jobs and prioritize us. We've been waiting for a while for them to get it done. So Ms. Ida told me that this week, if she doesn't hear from them, I can send one of those superintendent emails that can make them kind of buck up a little bit, because then I would say, hey, look, this is part of our

339
00:48:19.390 --> 00:48:26.260
Sukai Durosimi: audit, and if y'all don't get it done, we're gonna get in trouble, and then usually a manager calls me, so…

340
00:48:26.530 --> 00:48:45.569
Sukai Durosimi: If they don't do that, then that's what I'll do. And also, this time, they want us to add peepholes. This I was kind of annoyed by, because we've gone through these audits before, and no one ever wanted peepholes in the door, but this guy wanted peepholes in the door. It makes no sense. We have, like.

341
00:48:46.180 --> 00:48:54.559
Sukai Durosimi: 5 big bay windows that we can look from to see who's by the door, but he wants us to put peepholes. But…

342
00:48:54.770 --> 00:48:57.770
Sukai Durosimi: It is their money, and I shall use it as such.

343
00:49:01.040 --> 00:49:24.049
Sukai Durosimi: The big thing is the corrective action documentation upload. Like I said, I'm working through that. I'm gonna get help from Region 11 as well. And the other thing too, though, even though some of those plans were already uploaded, there's a button that I didn't push for them to sit on their side, so now I know which button I need to push so that

344
00:49:24.140 --> 00:49:28.390
Sukai Durosimi: Sentinel people, auditors, can do that.

345
00:49:29.300 --> 00:49:38.959
Sukai Durosimi: What's the timeline? I mean, it's due in July, I'm going to work through it, because I don't want us to get in trouble, it will be done.

346
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:50.210
Sukai Durosimi: by the end of June, so that it's ready for them to check. The guy was like, we don't really check, I trust you'll do it. I was like, no, that's okay, we'll… we'll get it done, he'll be in there end of June.

347
00:49:50.710 --> 00:49:56.830
Sukai Durosimi: So, these are the findings.

348
00:49:57.930 --> 00:50:04.870
Sukai Durosimi: Like I said, 32 we passed. The 33 we didn't. Majority of them were the documentation.

349
00:50:04.990 --> 00:50:11.610
Sukai Durosimi: And the other ones were the peepholes, the ballistic tools, and the doors that were sticking.

350
00:50:12.240 --> 00:50:19.389
Sukai Durosimi: And again, there are some questions at the end for the board to…

351
00:50:19.510 --> 00:50:25.700
Sukai Durosimi: respond to. We do have a safety meeting every quarter. Like I said, we double up.

352
00:50:25.750 --> 00:50:39.639
Sukai Durosimi: We triple up, actually, site-based, student health advisory committee. It's all part one committee, and they're also doing the campus needs assessment as well, so… And it's made of

353
00:50:39.730 --> 00:50:48.130
Sukai Durosimi: It's made up of our room parents, so we actually get good feedback, so if the board can

354
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:58.329
Sukai Durosimi: go through just some of these questions, not all of them, and just kind of respond. That would be great. You can do it individually, or you can do it collectively.

355
00:50:58.790 --> 00:51:00.220
Sukai Durosimi: And I'll be fine.

356
00:51:00.950 --> 00:51:03.319
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Is that a form as well, Ms. Diracini?

357
00:51:03.660 --> 00:51:21.660
Sukai Durosimi: No, it's these questions right here, the ones that says your voice as stakeholders, board input and discussion, is so that we can have concrete evidence that, the board participated, and you can answer as few or as many as you please.

358
00:51:22.270 --> 00:51:25.840
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, yeah, send it… send me those questions, I'll take care of it.

359
00:51:26.180 --> 00:51:28.820
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: What's the deadline? What's the deadline to have it done?

360
00:51:28.970 --> 00:51:31.870
Sukai Durosimi: It's not due till end of June.

361
00:51:31.870 --> 00:51:33.109
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, I'll do it.

362
00:51:33.470 --> 00:51:34.100
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

363
00:51:35.410 --> 00:51:42.459
Sukai Durosimi: All right. Perfect. So, that is all that we have for the district vulnerability.

364
00:51:43.290 --> 00:51:44.330
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Nice.

365
00:51:44.550 --> 00:51:50.820
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Right, so, was… okay, no, the next approval is Ms. Ida, so…

366
00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:51.570
Sukai Durosimi: Yes.

367
00:51:51.950 --> 00:51:55.159
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Go ahead, Ms. Ida, and talk about the co-op agreement.

368
00:51:57.830 --> 00:52:04.519
Aida Aguilar: Yes, the Region 11 co-op Agreement is our agreement for our benefits.

369
00:52:04.660 --> 00:52:15.730
Aida Aguilar: Because we're a small district, we partner with Region 11 and other smaller districts to provide, competitive pricing for supplemental benefits.

370
00:52:15.810 --> 00:52:34.990
Aida Aguilar: Through them to be able to offer things like dental, life insurance, catastrophic, cancer, different insurances that, if we went out and bid for them individually, they would probably be a lot larger and non-affordable. So, it's a huge benefit for charter schools to use.

371
00:52:34.990 --> 00:52:51.579
Aida Aguilar: charter schools our sizes to use that with, Region 11. This is an annual thing that we do as an agreement with them that they've requested, so, that's what it is, and we're looking for approval to be able to keep this cooperative with them for benefits.

372
00:52:52.120 --> 00:52:55.239
Aida Aguilar: For future benefits for the 26-27 school year.

373
00:52:56.070 --> 00:52:56.620
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Huh?

374
00:52:57.160 --> 00:52:59.230
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Any questions from the board?

375
00:53:02.600 --> 00:53:05.000
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: All right, can I get a motion to approve?

376
00:53:05.570 --> 00:53:07.079
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve.

377
00:53:07.220 --> 00:53:08.889
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome, can I get a second?

378
00:53:13.910 --> 00:53:15.330
Aida Aguilar: Ms. Sandy, can you hear?

379
00:53:16.810 --> 00:53:20.980
Aida Aguilar: I got… Can you second?

380
00:53:26.380 --> 00:53:33.519
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you. It has been moved and promptly second. That motion has been approved. It is unanimous.

381
00:53:33.690 --> 00:53:37.199
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, let me get back to my agenda here.

382
00:53:38.350 --> 00:53:44.209
Sukai Durosimi: Mr. Garner, do you mind if Ms. Bay goes ahead? Absolutely.

383
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:44.960
Sukai Durosimi: Moffat?

384
00:53:44.970 --> 00:53:45.940
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: per person.

385
00:53:48.010 --> 00:53:50.289
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, Ms. Bay.

386
00:53:50.290 --> 00:53:50.929
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Hey, Miss Bank.

387
00:53:50.930 --> 00:53:51.820
Sukai Durosimi: can share.

388
00:53:51.820 --> 00:53:53.619
Gloria Bey: Hello, how you doing?

389
00:53:54.120 --> 00:53:57.989
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I'm good, I'm good. She the money lady. We like to hear from Ms. Bae.

390
00:53:58.640 --> 00:54:02.100
Gloria Bey: I don't know about that. I can just report what has occurred.

391
00:54:02.470 --> 00:54:03.220
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Right.

392
00:54:05.420 --> 00:54:07.280
Gloria Bey: I'll share my screen.

393
00:54:10.620 --> 00:54:11.680
Gloria Bey: Okay.

394
00:54:11.790 --> 00:54:15.720
Gloria Bey: This is a cash flow projection that we've been working with every month.

395
00:54:15.980 --> 00:54:21.030
Gloria Bey: I have the information through the month of February. Can you say it?

396
00:54:22.170 --> 00:54:25.920
Gloria Bey: Yes. Okay, okay. Yeah. So I have the information through…

397
00:54:26.270 --> 00:54:39.400
Gloria Bey: through the month of February. So basically what we do is we do the projection for the entire year. We just project out, based on, previous years, anything that we know that's going to happen during the year that might be different, and that's how we come in with the projection.

398
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:51.130
Gloria Bey: And so, once we have the projection, when we see the actuals come in, we go in and we change the projection to the actuals. That's where you see the green tabs. This is all the actuals that have occurred.

399
00:54:51.130 --> 00:54:56.999
Gloria Bey: from September through February, but it's still projected out because we haven't completed the mark as of yet.

400
00:54:58.120 --> 00:54:59.290
Gloria Bey: So…

401
00:54:59.470 --> 00:55:14.759
Gloria Bey: If you look at the month of February, which is the last month we've had, it looks like, we show in our available school fund, we received $4,900. Originally, we were projected to receive about $4,200.

402
00:55:14.860 --> 00:55:20.910
Gloria Bey: So, we're at 49 now, which is… which is good. So, that went up about $700.

403
00:55:21.210 --> 00:55:25.299
Gloria Bey: And then with our foundation school.

404
00:55:26.070 --> 00:55:43.890
Gloria Bey: In February, we received $98,000. Now, if you look at September, the reason why we have such a large amount in September is because there was a settle-up. And so that settle-up was about $32,000. So really, September probably was about $120,000, $119 in September.

405
00:55:43.910 --> 00:56:02.260
Gloria Bey: And so, as you see, it's gone down each month. In October, the foundation revenue went down to 103, then 104, then 112, then 102. Now, in February, it's down to 98. And so, remember, it's the average attendance, and it's the average enrollment.

406
00:56:02.260 --> 00:56:10.460
Gloria Bey: that affects this number. So as that goes down, this amount goes down. We projected about $103,000 every month.

407
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:17.420
Gloria Bey: But it looks like it's now dipping below the $100,000. In February is what we hit. It's below 100.

408
00:56:18.690 --> 00:56:35.420
Gloria Bey: If you look at the federal funds, we had thought that we might be getting about $9,000 or $10,000 a month for the federal funds, which we've… we've done pretty well with it. In February, it was $7,200, so it's down by probably about $2,000.

409
00:56:35.420 --> 00:56:47.149
Gloria Bey: And that was for the food service. So, food service is down about $2,000. It might have something to do also with how frequently Ms. Idle is requesting the reimbursements, or filing those claims.

410
00:56:47.460 --> 00:56:57.339
Gloria Bey: And then in our federal funds, this is a federal fund program, so like our federal grants, the Title I, Title II, all these grants in here.

411
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:13.589
Gloria Bey: We have projected about $10,000 every month, but just remember that when we get those grants, majority of the money, except for your indirect cost, is going to be spent. So we're spending it, getting it back, getting reimbursed, except for whatever you receive in your indirect cost.

412
00:57:13.590 --> 00:57:22.140
Gloria Bey: And so, that amount has gone down some, which was, like, $7,000 also in, February.

413
00:57:22.380 --> 00:57:26.499
Gloria Bey: And then we look at your tuition.

414
00:57:26.520 --> 00:57:51.349
Gloria Bey: We have a tuition that you all received, and we received the $2439.86. We projected it was about $4,000 every month, but we're not hitting $4,000 every month. So, in February, it was $2,400, in January it was $3,500, and in December, it was $4,800. So, we're not really hitting that, $4,000 every single month. One month might be higher, and I don't know if because maybe they were late or something.

415
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:54.100
Gloria Bey: And paid in the following month, vice versa.

416
00:57:54.490 --> 00:58:09.579
Gloria Bey: Also, we have the rentals, where you're renting your facilities out. We projected that to be about $1,600 a month, and we have not been receiving that. It looks like in September it was about $400. October, there was nothing.

417
00:58:09.660 --> 00:58:27.940
Gloria Bey: November zero, December zero, and so January we hit the $1,200, and February we had the $1,200. So we projected out $1,600, but the rentals have not been hitting the $1,600. So, for the month of February, we brought in about $121,379.

418
00:58:27.940 --> 00:58:28.950
Gloria Bey: for the month.

419
00:58:28.950 --> 00:58:48.590
Gloria Bey: And then in our expenses, the payroll, payroll is the largest expense that you have. And so the payroll was about $76,000 in February, and as you can see, if you go back to September, it started out at $105. It normally starts high at the beginning of the year, and then it went down a little to 100, then it went down to $83,

420
00:58:48.590 --> 00:59:04.460
Gloria Bey: And it seems to go up a little in December as well, and then it dipped back down. So we're normally probably around the $75,000, $78,000, $80,000, but we projected it was going to be $111,000, and it has come out to turn out to be a little lower than we had projected. So that's a good thing.

421
00:59:04.750 --> 00:59:21.019
Gloria Bey: Our expenditures, other than payroll, the other expenses that we have, we projected those to be about $54,000, and they've been doing very well. It has not been hitting the $54,000, but it's been less. So February was $39,000.

422
00:59:21.060 --> 00:59:32.540
Gloria Bey: As you can see, we had a $54,000 in the month of December, but since then, it has gone down from there, and they've been doing a very good job on managing the expenses.

423
00:59:32.730 --> 00:59:50.699
Gloria Bey: So our total expenses came out to about… be about $115,000, so that $121, then we had, the $115,000, which we had a change in cash, about $5,672, where we had more money coming in than what was actually spent, which is great news.

424
00:59:50.700 --> 00:59:56.230
Gloria Bey: So, and that was $5,600. I don't care if it's $5,600, I'll take that, as long as we're not in the negative.

425
00:59:56.230 --> 00:59:58.580
Gloria Bey: So, that was good for that month.

426
00:59:58.580 --> 01:00:17.309
Gloria Bey: And so, as you can see, the projections out. The projection shows that in March we might be in the negative, that we might spend more than we receive, which I'm kind of thinking it's not true, because our payroll has not been as high as we projected out, and we projected 111. I'm thinking payroll is probably about $80,000.

427
01:00:17.310 --> 01:00:19.359
Gloria Bey: 80 to 85,000, maybe.

428
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:23.800
Gloria Bey: Next month, and so that's going to change that number that we may be in the black still.

429
01:00:25.750 --> 01:00:27.960
Gloria Bey: Anyone have any questions on these?

430
01:00:33.910 --> 01:00:34.930
Gloria Bey: I'm hoping?

431
01:00:38.300 --> 01:00:41.460
Sukai Durosimi: Mr. Gardner, you're on mute. I'm also talking, and I'm on… I was on mute.

432
01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:55.160
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Mr. Bake couldn't even get a chance to hear it. I said, that's why she's the favorite. She made it so clear and so simple to understand. Very easy to.

433
01:00:55.160 --> 01:00:55.930
Gloria Bey: Okay.

434
01:00:56.620 --> 01:00:57.950
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Questions from the board?

435
01:01:01.140 --> 01:01:12.269
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: No questions from the boy, I don't see any heads nodding, okay. Great, great, great. And there… this doesn't require an approval, it's just informational, right?

436
01:01:13.620 --> 01:01:17.539
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Right. Okay, thank you, Ms. Bay, thank you so much.

437
01:01:17.540 --> 01:01:19.640
Gloria Bey: Thank you, appreciate it.

438
01:01:19.640 --> 01:01:21.090
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Absolutely.

439
01:01:21.710 --> 01:01:22.890
Gloria Bey: Have a great meeting.

440
01:01:22.890 --> 01:01:24.049
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: You do the same.

441
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:25.140
Gloria Bey: Thank you.

442
01:01:25.850 --> 01:01:31.700
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alrighty, miss. dear Sammy, you want to talk about Stuff yep.

443
01:01:32.120 --> 01:01:33.420
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Can't I count.

444
01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:38.739
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: For the plumbing, affecting the bathrooms.

445
01:01:39.900 --> 01:01:41.560
Sukai Durosimi: Okay. I'm sorry?

446
01:01:42.110 --> 01:02:00.789
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes. So we did, we went out for bids, and, we needed to get the bathroom fixed, the pipes fixed. It was affecting about 5 bathrooms in the school. We've tried to patch it many times, get it snaked, get some people to come out, and

447
01:02:00.790 --> 01:02:15.649
Sukai Durosimi: just naked and do certain things, but it just wasn't working, and it wasn't… it didn't help that our little ones had to walk all the way to the other bathroom. I mean, it's not that far, but still, the whole point of

448
01:02:15.650 --> 01:02:33.580
Sukai Durosimi: Creating the bathrooms at the back is so that we can isolate the pre-K, K, first grade students from second, third grade, and fourth grade students, so I'm happy that it's working now, and then it was also affecting some bathrooms in the gym.

449
01:02:33.580 --> 01:02:43.750
Sukai Durosimi: So we have that done. That's what the money in the carer account is for, so we're able to work with self-help to get us, the funds.

450
01:02:43.770 --> 01:03:01.350
Sukai Durosimi: It doesn't even go directly to us, it goes directly to the people that, we chose. So we're able to send them all three bids. The… they asked me some questions about why we chose the one we chose, because it was more comprehensive.

451
01:03:01.350 --> 01:03:22.859
Sukai Durosimi: It meant that they were able to go out and do not only all the bathrooms, change out the bathrooms, change some toilets, but also fix the pipes so that we didn't, we had those metal pipes because of the building being so old, so changing those pipes and making sure everything is being flushed out properly.

452
01:03:22.860 --> 01:03:26.639
Sukai Durosimi: And then working with those two gyms,

453
01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:31.420
Sukai Durosimi: Two bathrooms in the gym was a part of their,

454
01:03:31.670 --> 01:03:51.290
Sukai Durosimi: their bids, we chose… that's why we chose the one that we chose, and so we had to sign a lien waiver, with the company to make sure that they do everything correctly, and then after we sent it to Self Help, self-help was able to cut them a check.

455
01:03:52.170 --> 01:03:54.899
Sukai Durosimi: So, that's all I have.

456
01:03:55.020 --> 01:04:01.520
Sukai Durosimi: for CNP, Okay. And… Let's see…

457
01:04:02.430 --> 01:04:03.160
Aida Aguilar: Dang.

458
01:04:03.380 --> 01:04:10.520
Aida Aguilar: Hold on, miss… Miss… hold on, miss, ms. Sandy has a question.

459
01:04:12.690 --> 01:04:21.860
Aida Aguilar: I'm wondering, once all of this is finished now, the whole school will be the TV3, or do we still have some old piping anywhere?

460
01:04:23.180 --> 01:04:32.190
Sukai Durosimi: We do have some old piping in the… no, no, it was in the whole school. We still have some old piping in…

461
01:04:32.410 --> 01:04:34.830
Sukai Durosimi: The main school?

462
01:04:35.050 --> 01:04:40.210
Sukai Durosimi: But we always have that checked out. I think the…

463
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:55.040
Sukai Durosimi: those, the pipes are a little bigger, even though they're metals, they're… they're bigger. Now, that one, if anything happens, that's going to be a bigger job, because they're going to have to break a lot of concrete, including…

464
01:04:55.120 --> 01:05:02.169
Sukai Durosimi: the road, for dismissal. So, no, the one that we did was affecting…

465
01:05:02.170 --> 01:05:05.390
Aida Aguilar: out now. I can't know what anybody's saying.

466
01:05:05.670 --> 01:05:06.400
Sukai Durosimi: Oh.

467
01:05:06.870 --> 01:05:09.049
Aida Aguilar: I'll call back and ask later.

468
01:05:09.050 --> 01:05:13.609
Sukai Durosimi: Okay. Oh, Miss Sandy, I can actually just call you and tell you about it, too.

469
01:05:17.810 --> 01:05:19.390
Aida Aguilar: Did you hear her, Ms. Sandy?

470
01:05:20.170 --> 01:05:29.120
Aida Aguilar: No, she said she would call me, is that what she said? Yeah, she said she won't call you, and… Okay, because it started cutting out, everybody started cutting out all of a sudden.

471
01:05:29.970 --> 01:05:33.310
Aida Aguilar: y'all front meal was.

472
01:05:33.910 --> 01:05:41.850
Aida Aguilar: She's saying it's cutting in and out. She was hearing everybody, Ms. Dorsey, but I let her know that you'll call her. Okay, get back to Nia.

473
01:05:42.230 --> 01:05:44.949
Aida Aguilar: Yeah, that was the one question I had. Okay.

474
01:05:47.750 --> 01:05:57.540
Sukai Durosimi: I'll call her back. The budget report is really… Ms. Bay has done that. What I was looking for was the…

475
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:02.300
Sukai Durosimi: I was looking for the…

476
01:06:04.140 --> 01:06:19.959
Sukai Durosimi: title funds, but also Ms. Bay has presented that, and what I wanted to present to the board was where we are in meeting our, PIC codes to see if we're passing or failing, and we are passing most of our funding for

477
01:06:20.420 --> 01:06:40.349
Sukai Durosimi: Our, title funds go to either payroll or it goes to professional development. And we… we don't… we didn't bring in as much because of our enrollment, but, where we are is that we're projected to pass because we always calculate based on

478
01:06:40.380 --> 01:06:45.760
Sukai Durosimi: Whatever the percentage is that comes out on our…

479
01:06:46.880 --> 01:07:00.120
Sukai Durosimi: Summary of finance, summary of finance funds, and up front, when we start calculating the budget, we make sure that the percentage that we need, sometimes we even surpass the percentage.

480
01:07:00.120 --> 01:07:13.020
Sukai Durosimi: That's what we, allocate those funds to, and we always, remain in compliance as far as presenting that information to the board and to…

481
01:07:13.200 --> 01:07:26.060
Sukai Durosimi: our stakeholders. So during Festival of Lights, we do send, information out to our parents. So I do not have that information here at all. I thought we would, but I don't.

482
01:07:27.900 --> 01:07:28.540
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

483
01:07:30.370 --> 01:07:32.470
Aida Aguilar: My apologies, Mr. Simi.

484
01:07:32.950 --> 01:07:33.919
Sukai Durosimi: No, that's okay.

485
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:37.360
Aida Aguilar: I'll put it in the paper version, if you'd like for me to let them know.

486
01:07:38.160 --> 01:07:40.140
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, okay, if you… yeah, if, please.

487
01:07:40.460 --> 01:07:59.409
Aida Aguilar: Okay, so currently, right now, for PICCODES 24, which is State Comp Ed, we are passing, and will pass with that one. Projected to pass. 25 bilingual, we are actually over surpassed, as you were saying. We're already past it with 243%.

488
01:07:59.460 --> 01:08:14.400
Aida Aguilar: And 36 early education, we are also at pass for that, at 227%. The only two PIC codes left are 21 gifted and Talented, which, at the moment, it is…

489
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:18.819
Aida Aguilar: We're off 8.03%, but projected to pass.

490
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:27.249
Aida Aguilar: And then 23 Special Education, currently shows as failed, but we are also projected to pass with it as well.

491
01:08:32.740 --> 01:08:33.510
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: -

492
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:35.029
Aida Aguilar: Okay.

493
01:08:35.770 --> 01:08:37.590
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you, Ms. Ida.

494
01:08:38.220 --> 01:08:38.939
Aida Aguilar: Yes, sir.

495
01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:43.369
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Do you want to go ahead and do the child nutrition program?

496
01:08:47.649 --> 01:08:49.909
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I think that's the last item on the agenda.

497
01:08:50.689 --> 01:08:51.579
Aida Aguilar: Sure.

498
01:08:52.199 --> 01:09:10.699
Aida Aguilar: So, I have been in my, child nutrition audit. It is every 5 years. It's been a 4-6 month process with them. We started in October, and now we're, they've already come out, and now I'm at the process of

499
01:09:10.759 --> 01:09:18.829
Aida Aguilar: The CAD, which is the corrective actions. So there's two parts to my child nutrition. There is the procurement part.

500
01:09:19.099 --> 01:09:24.149
Aida Aguilar: I only had, thankfully, 3 findings on those.

501
01:09:24.419 --> 01:09:36.559
Aida Aguilar: And the first one was a purchase that was made at a restaurant depot for… where taxes were, unfortunately, I didn't catch it for $4.35 that were charged for us.

502
01:09:36.759 --> 01:09:43.179
Aida Aguilar: So, I had to show and prove that that was paid back to the Child Nutrition Department.

503
01:09:43.489 --> 01:09:51.569
Aida Aguilar: The second one is a contract with our Aramark Vestas that used to do our,

504
01:09:51.779 --> 01:09:54.589
Aida Aguilar: Towels and, aprons.

505
01:09:54.809 --> 01:10:10.159
Aida Aguilar: Washing in the, Child Nutrition Department. This was set up, before I became… I took over Child Nutrition, and so, they frown upon, contracts that are more than 5 years, and this was set up as a 5-year contract.

506
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:19.689
Aida Aguilar: And so, I did cancel it, way before 90 days to make sure that we would now be compliance from this, from going forward.

507
01:10:19.789 --> 01:10:32.159
Aida Aguilar: But, funnily, I found out today that, what I'm being, what I am being given a corrective action for has now been changed to where we can have

508
01:10:32.579 --> 01:10:34.999
Aida Aguilar: 3- and 5-year contracts.

509
01:10:35.169 --> 01:10:41.599
Aida Aguilar: So, even… because it's from last year that's being reviewed, 24-25, it still is a finding for me.

510
01:10:42.039 --> 01:10:47.399
Aida Aguilar: So, and then the third one was, invoices from our milk vendor.

511
01:10:47.429 --> 01:11:03.729
Aida Aguilar: They are… this one I am, appealing, because they're stating that I did not submit the invoices. I did submit it the same night that we had our TDA call. I have the proof in the invoices. They are claiming that it does not add up.

512
01:11:03.809 --> 01:11:06.749
Aida Aguilar: to the invoices that I stated,

513
01:11:07.379 --> 01:11:15.879
Aida Aguilar: And I verified that with my Region 11 person, so I have to nicely state that somehow they didn't add it up correctly.

514
01:11:16.379 --> 01:11:24.929
Aida Aguilar: So, I am, reissuing the invoices so they see it more clearer, I guess, so they can make sure they come up with the same balances.

515
01:11:25.069 --> 01:11:29.539
Aida Aguilar: Originally sent and originally posted that they requested, so…

516
01:11:29.799 --> 01:11:38.549
Aida Aguilar: That is the procurement. There was only 3 findings, and on the AR side, one finding was the civil rights training.

517
01:11:38.709 --> 01:11:42.309
Aida Aguilar: Now there is a new,

518
01:11:42.799 --> 01:11:46.609
Aida Aguilar: There's a new requirement, Mr. Osimi, as the hearing official.

519
01:11:46.679 --> 01:12:03.059
Aida Aguilar: Now must complete civil rights training before school starts. So, because it was done later in the year, that is a finding, so that will be corrected. I will give that to her at the end of this school year, so she can get it done before then.

520
01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:07.679
Aida Aguilar: She's my hearing official, since I'm the Director of Child Nutrition.

521
01:12:07.829 --> 01:12:21.689
Aida Aguilar: There was, I received 7 CADs on that one. The second one is the non-program foods revenue tool. It had changed, and, so I need to use their new tool now that they have.

522
01:12:21.839 --> 01:12:36.319
Aida Aguilar: and recalculate the revenue ratio for non-programmed foods. Some of the obstacles that I'm having is that I've had to raise the prices for, like, the ice cream. I pretty much sell ice cream and snacks.

523
01:12:36.349 --> 01:12:43.949
Aida Aguilar: The ice cream has gone up where I was not making any money, 2 cents for every ice cream, so I had to go from charging the kids a dollar to $2.

524
01:12:44.339 --> 01:12:49.719
Aida Aguilar: Which they did not like, and has unfortunately, made it very hard.

525
01:12:49.799 --> 01:13:00.199
Aida Aguilar: to sell ice cream now, because there's also minimums. So many ven… the vendor that we have that's approved, requires 10 cases minimum to be ordered, which is a lot.

526
01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:13.719
Aida Aguilar: So, unfortunately, there's a couple of things that, because we're a smaller school, it's starting to affect, my area of child nutrition in the sense of being able to buy more, or their minimums that they require.

527
01:13:13.829 --> 01:13:29.399
Aida Aguilar: The lunches were not priced appropriately for, the adults. I had raised the prices. I did not raise it enough. I had raised it to $425, and the price should have been $4.97, so I was off 37.

528
01:13:30.419 --> 01:13:37.339
Aida Aguilar: I was off, what, 50-some cents, so that was a finding. I have raised it for this year to $5.25 now.

529
01:13:37.819 --> 01:13:45.219
Aida Aguilar: Snack production records, snacks is 3 fourths cups, not a half a cup, so I miss that.

530
01:13:45.689 --> 01:13:49.609
Aida Aguilar: And the after school's next. They are,

531
01:13:49.749 --> 01:13:57.709
Aida Aguilar: They're giving me a finding because it says I didn't monitor it the first 4 weeks, but we don't do after-school snacks until clubs start in the fall.

532
01:13:57.909 --> 01:14:11.939
Aida Aguilar: So, I am going to appeal that and prove to them when the, when the after-school clubs actually started. We don't do it year-round, we only do it when the clubs are in session, which is what I'm supposed to do, and that's the only time I can.

533
01:14:12.249 --> 01:14:24.449
Aida Aguilar: And then the last one is a meal pattern with the vegetable group, where the production record did not show the right amount.

534
01:14:24.459 --> 01:14:39.149
Aida Aguilar: And it was a typo, because I over-copied on the production record wrong, so… but that's what was submitted, so, I did show them in that, but that's still considered a finding. So those were the findings. I will say 7 is a lot.

535
01:14:39.299 --> 01:14:46.179
Aida Aguilar: to me, but as compared to my last, CMP audit, I had 12 and 6.

536
01:14:46.579 --> 01:14:50.929
Aida Aguilar: finding, so I… it has been… it's much less, so…

537
01:14:51.069 --> 01:14:57.909
Aida Aguilar: I'm proud of that. My goal is to get it to zero, but that's pretty hard to do.

538
01:14:58.170 --> 01:14:59.580
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Yeah, impossible.

539
01:15:00.140 --> 01:15:01.390
Aida Aguilar: Not impossible.

540
01:15:01.390 --> 01:15:10.740
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: As an auditor, we always We're gonna find something. Hey, that's the job. You go in looking.

541
01:15:11.080 --> 01:15:12.319
Aida Aguilar: And sometimes… I know.

542
01:15:12.320 --> 01:15:17.150
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Rules, and you don't even know the rules been changed. It just, you know, that's just what happened.

543
01:15:18.080 --> 01:15:37.549
Aida Aguilar: Yeah. Well, Ms. Burney did have a perfect one many years ago, so, that's… that's a high standard to… to move towards, but being that I've only been in this job for, since 2020, 2021 school year, I'm pretty proud of, what we do with the… with two people in the Child Nutrition Department.

544
01:15:38.660 --> 01:15:44.049
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Absolutely. So we've made those, appeals and corrective actions, I'm assuming.

545
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:54.919
Aida Aguilar: No, they're due until the 21st, but I'm working on them, yes, right now. I'm working with Region 11 to make sure we submit the appropriate paperwork and everything that's needed, and the appeals.

546
01:15:55.360 --> 01:16:01.900
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, perfect. Just make sure we get back, because that's the key to the audit, just to make sure you make corrective action, so…

547
01:16:01.900 --> 01:16:03.469
Aida Aguilar: Of course. Yes, sir.

548
01:16:03.730 --> 01:16:05.259
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Questions from the board?

549
01:16:07.700 --> 01:16:12.210
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome, and we do not have a closed session, is that correct?

550
01:16:12.990 --> 01:16:13.890
Sukai Durosimi: We do.

551
01:16:14.390 --> 01:16:16.510
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: We do have a closed session, oh my.

552
01:16:16.510 --> 01:16:23.349
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, we do. It's just to talk about one teacher, and it's our designated teacher. It's not a bad thing.

553
01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:26.380
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, good. So, let's,

554
01:16:27.040 --> 01:16:34.310
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I guess we can't adjourn the meeting until we go into closed session, so let's go into closed session. It is 7.09. You want to stop the recording?

555
01:16:34.580 --> 01:16:38.639
Aida Aguilar: Mr. Simi, how do you want to do Ms. Sandy, because she's with me?

556
01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:47.930
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, you have to stay as HR. Okay, okay. The only person we're going to say goodbye to is Ms. Jofei. Bye, Ms. Jofei.

557
01:16:48.400 --> 01:16:50.220
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Enjoy your day, Miss Jofei.

558
01:16:51.430 --> 01:16:52.910
Jofee' Tremain: Good night, everyone. Bye.

559
01:16:53.130 --> 01:16:54.190
Sukai Durosimi: Goodbye.

560
01:16:54.190 --> 01:16:55.020
Aida Aguilar: Goodbye.

561
01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:01.209
Sukai Durosimi: Alright, this shouldn't be hard. I think,

562
01:17:01.450 --> 01:17:05.750
Sukai Durosimi: I stopped recording. I think I paused, actually.

563
01:17:06.390 --> 01:17:25.479
Sukai Durosimi: So, Ms. Reza's been with us for 5 years, and I am requesting from the board to see if we can, apply for an H1 visa for her. She's willing to make all the payments, necessary.

564
01:17:25.500 --> 01:17:33.789
Sukai Durosimi: She's a good teacher, I believe she'll stay loyal. The… it's expensive, but… so…

565
01:17:33.870 --> 01:17:51.009
Sukai Durosimi: The pro for us would be she's picking up the tab with all of that, the lawyer fees, all of that. There's not a con at all to this, but I think the, the other pro… well, I guess the con could be that, well,

566
01:17:51.220 --> 01:17:54.689
Sukai Durosimi: She's the one picking up everything.

567
01:17:54.810 --> 01:18:12.080
Sukai Durosimi: the pro on our side is that we have someone that will stay, but it will be a great help to her if we do that. Now, we did have a conversation, like, well, Ms. Reza, in this social climate that we're in, and, you know, the…

568
01:18:12.590 --> 01:18:16.810
Sukai Durosimi: People that be may not like it, but…

569
01:18:17.090 --> 01:18:29.010
Sukai Durosimi: I guess what we thought about that, it was worth a shot, to apply, and if it works out, great. If it doesn't, at least I think she would see that.

570
01:18:29.010 --> 01:18:52.940
Sukai Durosimi: the school did try to help her. She can work currently in the U.S, it's costing them a lot for both of them to do it, but if the school is able to apply for her and only her, it would, it works out for her. And I think, too, we should consider, maybe if we have other people to apply for them, as long as they're willing to pick up their,

571
01:18:52.940 --> 01:18:54.050
Sukai Durosimi: fees.

572
01:18:54.200 --> 01:19:10.219
Sukai Durosimi: they want to pay for their fees, I think we should consider it. I looked at Dallas. There are a couple of other charter schools that are doing this. I know Dallas and Fort Worth ISD are doing that. I know Mansfield and Arlington are on the way. So, I'm not saying filling…

573
01:19:10.220 --> 01:19:22.910
Sukai Durosimi: fill in the schools with that, but if we find some really great teachers, the good thing with filing an H1 is that you have loyal teachers that will stay, because then if they leave, they lose their H1 status.

574
01:19:24.510 --> 01:19:25.770
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I agree, I think.

575
01:19:25.770 --> 01:19:36.340
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: I'm all for it. I just was out of school in Mississippi, where their entire math department is from the Philippines, and they have paid…

576
01:19:36.340 --> 01:19:37.139
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, wow.

577
01:19:37.140 --> 01:19:43.190
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: And when I say those tissues are on fire, so yes. So, yes,

578
01:19:43.940 --> 01:19:58.230
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: I think it's a great thing, and the only other thing that you may… you may consider tying to that is that she give a certain amount of commitment for a certain amount of years.

579
01:19:58.230 --> 01:20:12.139
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: you know, say, we'll do this for you, but that means you're committing to us, I don't know, 3 years, 5 years, whatever, you know, whatever seems reasonable, but that could be something to attach to, but I say definitely do it.

580
01:20:12.940 --> 01:20:24.280
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, I think I told her 5 to 6 years. She'll say, oh, you have me forever, Mr. Asimi. I said, yeah, you say that now, and then that grandbaby comes, and then…

581
01:20:24.280 --> 01:20:29.199
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Right. So yeah, you might want to put that on paper. Yeah, yeah.

582
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:31.610
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Understood.

583
01:20:31.610 --> 01:20:32.500
Aida Aguilar: Mr. Simei.

584
01:20:32.500 --> 01:20:33.270
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I'll go…

585
01:20:33.270 --> 01:20:36.559
Aida Aguilar: Did you stop the recording? I show it's still recording.

586
01:20:37.280 --> 01:20:39.530
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, crap, I thought I did.

587
01:20:41.270 --> 01:20:43.430
Aida Aguilar: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, but…

588
01:20:43.430 --> 01:20:44.810
Sukai Durosimi: No, no, no.

589
01:20:44.810 --> 01:20:52.870
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Are we… Thank you. Recording started back. We are now returning back from closed session.

590
01:20:53.610 --> 01:20:58.959
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Do we need to vote on what we… we don't need to vote on anything, that's just a…

591
01:20:59.310 --> 01:21:06.010
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, it was just a discussion, that the board approved, that the board is on board with that.

592
01:21:07.160 --> 01:21:11.350
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Just making sure. Okay, great. So, can I get a motion to adjourn?

593
01:21:11.350 --> 01:21:11.949
Sukai Durosimi: That's good.

594
01:21:11.950 --> 01:21:13.760
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to adjourn!

595
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:20.529
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome. It is 7-16. We will adjourn our meeting. Have a great day. Thank you.

596
01:21:20.870 --> 01:21:21.880
Sukai Durosimi: Have a great day.

597
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:22.270
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: I remember…

598
01:21:22.270 --> 01:21:24.090
Sukai Durosimi: Bye-bye. Bye.
