1
00:00:08.870 --> 00:00:10.360
Sukai Durosimi: But…

2
00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:28.649
Sukai Durosimi: The thing, too, she has to understand is that we can't just allow parents to speak at a board meeting, because they have to do the information on the… so I'm not sure. I'm just assuming, I'm not sure what's going on, who it is, or what they need. But Ms. Ida and Ms. Jofe went downstairs to figure it out.

3
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:38.880
Sukai Durosimi: So, back to the… Board policy, we have,

4
00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:58.129
Sukai Durosimi: The handbook outlines health and safety protocols, immunization requirements, medication guidelines, detailed Title IX sexual harassment procedures, anti-bullying policies, and the right to search lockers, which we don't really have lockers.

5
00:00:58.130 --> 00:01:08.290
Sukai Durosimi: Our kiddos have backpacks, but that can also translate into backpacks, that we have rights to search, backpacks, with no expectation of privacy.

6
00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:28.109
Sukai Durosimi: It delineates disciplinary jurisdiction. We have misconduct levels of 1, 2, and 3, including expulsion, if that's necessary, but we also have corresponding consequences for restorative practices, detention, suspension, in-house, things like that.

7
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:46.310
Sukai Durosimi: Also it addresses the parent, right to know, material and instruction, and then grievance… grievance procedures and processes. So, and that's one thing I think this year we made sure parents know, through our site-based meeting and room parents.

8
00:01:46.440 --> 00:02:03.929
Sukai Durosimi: With our room parents, they had the opportunity to vote on the math textbook. They're also aware of the textbook that we use, and our parents still have the right to come in and observe, at least giving us notice.

9
00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:06.869
Sukai Durosimi: To let us know that they're coming in.

10
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:14.970
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, okay. And that's what I have for the handbook.

11
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.710
Sukai Durosimi: And the person banging on the door is Ms. Osmond, on the window.

12
00:02:23.870 --> 00:02:26.209
Sukai Durosimi: And we lost Mr. Gardner.

13
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:30.650
Sukai Durosimi: It's a day.

14
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:31.430
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: doing it.

15
00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:36.930
Sukai Durosimi: I think his connection was kind of slow. Yeah, wherever he is, yeah.

16
00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:11.460
Sukai Durosimi: He's running.

17
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:13.240
Sukai Durosimi: But… Yeah.

18
00:03:13.510 --> 00:03:14.770
Sukai Durosimi: There he is.

19
00:03:28.450 --> 00:03:32.350
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: I'm sorry, I lost you, my phone just got too hot and it died.

20
00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:34.470
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Isn't that crazy?

21
00:03:34.850 --> 00:03:36.610
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, sir.

22
00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:39.400
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Oh, it may be time for a new phone.

23
00:03:40.630 --> 00:03:45.799
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: And I don't even have it on the charger, but anyway, you were talking, and it just cut off in the middle of you talking.

24
00:03:46.450 --> 00:03:56.299
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, well, I ended, giving a brief summary of the approval of student and parent handbook for East Fort Worth Montessori.

25
00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:57.730
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay.

26
00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:00.840
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome. Do we have any questions from the board?

27
00:04:01.940 --> 00:04:02.670
Sukai Durosimi: No.

28
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:09.109
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, no questions. Can I get a motion to approve the student handbook?

29
00:04:10.290 --> 00:04:13.110
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve the parent But…

30
00:04:15.220 --> 00:04:20.459
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you, and I heard a second. It has been moved improperly a second, so that vote is unanimous.

31
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:25.049
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: All right, and you have one more item, Ms. Durasemi? Was it Star Testing Calendar?

32
00:04:25.580 --> 00:04:29.519
Sukai Durosimi: And, yes, I think I have.

33
00:04:29.770 --> 00:04:35.660
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, the STAR testing calendar is the…

34
00:04:36.140 --> 00:04:40.960
Sukai Durosimi: So, I need to bring to the…

35
00:04:41.290 --> 00:05:01.839
Sukai Durosimi: table for the board to approve our assessment calendar, basically, and it covers our STAR and local. The reason why we do this is to make sure that we're able to kind of plan out instructional days, so there's not testing burnout for our kiddos and also for our teachers.

36
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:12.909
Sukai Durosimi: And we can kind of scaffold when they're going to do intervention, and when they're going to, when they're going to do, reteach, and also when they're going to do the assessments.

37
00:05:13.050 --> 00:05:18.770
Sukai Durosimi: Also, it's good for everyone to be on the same page.

38
00:05:18.950 --> 00:05:28.940
Sukai Durosimi: Especially when we have kids that have chronic absenteeism, to make sure that when they're out, we also have time to go back and teach some things.

39
00:05:28.940 --> 00:05:53.919
Sukai Durosimi: Also, we have to consider resource allocations. As far as logistics, we need to pay for, like, GT testing, ESL, there's some things that are coming up, which we found out that ESL funding is on the chopping block, so there's some things that we have to start thinking through now ahead of time. Another reason for the calendar is we want to make sure

40
00:05:53.920 --> 00:06:05.830
Sukai Durosimi: that we're comparing apples to apples. So, for example, when we take the MAP test, we can go back and look, okay, how did we end last year versus how did we end this year or three years ago?

41
00:06:05.830 --> 00:06:17.610
Sukai Durosimi: And so it puts everyone on the same page, and it's a guide for not only our teachers and our students, but also for parents that want to know when testing happens.

42
00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:24.980
Sukai Durosimi: And the testing calendar is in the board classroom.

43
00:06:28.330 --> 00:06:30.400
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome. Any questions from the board?

44
00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:35.210
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: No questions, that's… that absolutely should happen.

45
00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:37.160
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome.

46
00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:40.540
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alrighty, can I get a motion to approve the calendar?

47
00:06:41.450 --> 00:06:44.859
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve the testing calendar, start testing calendar.

48
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:46.890
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: And a second.

49
00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:48.470
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

50
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.209
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you. To move improperly second. That vote is unanimous.

51
00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:59.000
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alrighty, that's gonna be presented to June. Ms. Joe Fay.

52
00:06:59.580 --> 00:07:05.410
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Ms. Aguilar, you ready for the 26-27 pay scale?

53
00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:11.159
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, sir, we are, there are no changes on the pay scale?

54
00:07:11.770 --> 00:07:13.700
Sukai Durosimi: For this upcoming school year?

55
00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:26.689
Sukai Durosimi: So, we're just presenting that, but we are, committed to following all the TEA and TRA and support, staff retention allotments, the SSRA as well.

56
00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:30.280
Sukai Durosimi: Which is established by the 89th Legislature.

57
00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:34.600
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Nope.

58
00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:38.990
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: So, no change to the scale. Okay, do we have any questions for the board?

59
00:07:43.260 --> 00:07:44.449
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: You know, questions?

60
00:07:46.770 --> 00:07:51.099
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Can I get a motion? Well, you just presented, that doesn't require approval, is that correct?

61
00:07:52.150 --> 00:07:54.729
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, you have to approve, I'm sorry, yes.

62
00:07:56.550 --> 00:08:00.159
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, we didn't listen, okay. Can I get a motion to approve?

63
00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:02.769
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve the base sale.

64
00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:06.290
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you, can I get a second?

65
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.070
Sukai Durosimi: You have it.

66
00:08:08.070 --> 00:08:08.880
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Thank you.

67
00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:12.660
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: It's been moved and properly second. That vote is unanimous.

68
00:08:12.770 --> 00:08:17.450
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Alrighty, Ms. Aguilaro, let's talk about the health insurance, our contribution.

69
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:21.710
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, sir. So, the minimum state contribution is $225.

70
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:33.599
Sukai Durosimi: So we… that is what we did this past year, and we will continue that at the moment, until further changes in enrollment or current enrollment numbers.

71
00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:38.850
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome.

72
00:08:39.090 --> 00:08:40.770
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Any questions from the board?

73
00:08:42.760 --> 00:08:47.589
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: All right. There are no questions. Can I get a motion to approve the health insurance contributions?

74
00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:50.879
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: Motion to approve health insurance contributions.

75
00:08:51.470 --> 00:08:52.830
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, for sure, you can.

76
00:08:52.830 --> 00:08:53.830
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Awesome.

77
00:08:54.730 --> 00:08:55.850
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Can I get a second?

78
00:08:55.850 --> 00:08:57.960
Sukai Durosimi: You got it.

79
00:08:58.970 --> 00:08:59.690
Sukai Durosimi: Perfect.

80
00:08:59.690 --> 00:09:04.199
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: It has been moved and properly second. Alrighty, that is unanimous.

81
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.650
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Now we can get to the budget.

82
00:09:07.270 --> 00:09:08.230
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Ms. Durasemi?

83
00:09:08.830 --> 00:09:16.049
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, sir. Our student enrollment for April and,

84
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:27.820
Sukai Durosimi: for April has stayed the same. Actually, we lost one student. It was 106 in March, and we lost a student in April.

85
00:09:29.410 --> 00:09:41.419
Sukai Durosimi: And our average daily… ADA from April, from March to April, has kind of… Let me see…

86
00:09:42.100 --> 00:10:00.210
Sukai Durosimi: It dropped by a couple of hundred dollars, and that's because TA constantly adjusts every time, either if we have low attendance or if a student, drops. One of the drops that we're also considering right now, too, is

87
00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:09.679
Sukai Durosimi: a student that hasn't paid, tuition. I spoke to Miss, Keisha. She's working with the…

88
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:14.939
Sukai Durosimi: Parent, we might just let it ride out and let them pay,

89
00:10:15.260 --> 00:10:26.990
Sukai Durosimi: paid as long as they're returning, next year. It's not a lot, but I would say it's enough for us to say, yes,

90
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:30.659
Sukai Durosimi: your child may not come back in May, or…

91
00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:39.369
Sukai Durosimi: maybe we should think about… maybe also I'm thinking about maybe the child should just finish out, and maybe because it's not the child's fault, it's the parent's fault.

92
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:41.780
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Absolutely.

93
00:10:44.260 --> 00:10:57.269
Sukai Durosimi: Right now, our total revenues is $713. Our total expenditures is $750, giving us a loss or deficit of $37,268.

94
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:03.969
Sukai Durosimi: I'm talking to Ms. Samantha about the numbers in red, so the 21.

95
00:11:04.010 --> 00:11:09.550
Sukai Durosimi: 422. That's not a payroll, it's a non-payroll item that we paid off.

96
00:11:09.590 --> 00:11:14.289
Sukai Durosimi: Which is a good thing, but what it did was it,

97
00:11:14.310 --> 00:11:25.100
Sukai Durosimi: increased the amount, and there was not an allocated amount. So what we have to do now is look at which one of these funds, or which one of these functions.

98
00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:45.620
Sukai Durosimi: We're not going to overspend on and do a budget amendment in June. And the same with, parent engagement. We're over by 7,313, so with what… with what we currently have in the budget, we should be able to seamlessly make some budget amendments so that,

99
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:52.740
Sukai Durosimi: We're able to cover, 23 and cover function 61.

100
00:11:53.760 --> 00:12:01.320
Sukai Durosimi: With Ms. Ida's, not Ms. Ida, with the Child Nutrition, Fund 240.

101
00:12:01.470 --> 00:12:17.829
Sukai Durosimi: Which is… her total revenues are $104, expenditures at 49, so she's keeping it way under, which is great. Our EMAT is at $10,039. Our expenditures have been $5,227.

102
00:12:17.990 --> 00:12:22.589
Sukai Durosimi: We are going… we're adopting the Blue Bonnet curriculum.

103
00:12:22.890 --> 00:12:30.939
Sukai Durosimi: There is a… TEA should be… if we adopt Blue Bonnet, TEA should be giving…

104
00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:35.949
Sukai Durosimi: Something around $15 to $20 per student.

105
00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:53.130
Sukai Durosimi: It doesn't go into ADA, it goes into our textbook fund, which will help the school purchase the package deal for Bluebonnet, so it would mean all the resources, all the manipulatives that come with Bluebonnet will be able to purchase.

106
00:12:53.170 --> 00:13:05.639
Sukai Durosimi: Also, 3 teachers went today to Region 11 to kind of, hear about what the difference is between Eureka and Blue Bonnet, which there really isn't a difference.

107
00:13:05.780 --> 00:13:17.159
Sukai Durosimi: And also, they're also… we're getting ready to take on math academies, next school year, so all of that kind of works in tandem.

108
00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:31.590
Sukai Durosimi: So, for non-payroll, which is also part of 420, this is the $21,000 I was talking about. We paid off Gavin Dixon.

109
00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:50.509
Sukai Durosimi: which used to… he used to do our PEMs, but we paid him off. And then $520, is coming from secure… security monitoring. So, like I said, we will make an amendment to the budget in June. I'm working with Samantha and Ms. Ida to get that done before our next meeting.

110
00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:59.829
Sukai Durosimi: Another thing I wanted to bring up was the… Our grants.

111
00:14:00.370 --> 00:14:04.270
Sukai Durosimi: for… Pic codes, I'm sorry, not a grant, a PIC codes.

112
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:22.869
Sukai Durosimi: a program intent codes. So, right now, for gifted and talented and special education, it's projecting that we're going to fail, but we're not going to fail, because we spoke to Samantha, we had to make an adjustment to 21 to code a teacher to 21,

113
00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:25.240
Sukai Durosimi: who's covering some GT students.

114
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:32.069
Sukai Durosimi: And then our special education, we're going to pass, but currently, because we have not,

115
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:46.319
Sukai Durosimi: encumbered all of the money for the year yet. It still has us as failed, but it's guaranteed that we're going to pass, and then once we make the adjustment to code the teacher to pick Code 21,

116
00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:51.080
Sukai Durosimi: We are also going to pass for GT.

117
00:14:52.030 --> 00:14:56.530
Sukai Durosimi: And that's all I have for budgeting for finance.

118
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:01.069
Sukai Durosimi: Do you guys have any questions?

119
00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:02.130
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Any questions.

120
00:15:06.410 --> 00:15:07.520
Dr. Zandra A. Webb: No questions.

121
00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:13.160
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Right, so, thank you for that presentation on the budget.

122
00:15:13.780 --> 00:15:17.800
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Let's see, what's next? Campus Needs Assessment…

123
00:15:19.420 --> 00:15:21.540
Sukai Durosimi: It's gonna be in June, so…

124
00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:40.420
Sukai Durosimi: I'm going to be kind of moving forward, anything that has to do with academics, just so that we know that it's coming up. So, LSG is moving in a way where it's tracking, when academics… academic presentations will happen. So, next year.

125
00:15:40.420 --> 00:15:44.810
Sukai Durosimi: I need to get some clarity on whether they want to seed every month.

126
00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:54.280
Sukai Durosimi: or whether they want to see it on the agenda that it's coming up for the… for the following month, so I should know that in June.

127
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.699
Sukai Durosimi: Before we go on break.

128
00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:05.689
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Okay, well that's… that's everything. Like you said, it was a short meeting, but we do have a closed session.

129
00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:06.840
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, we do.

130
00:16:07.550 --> 00:16:09.289
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Oh, we're going to… you wanna…

131
00:16:11.640 --> 00:16:14.639
TROY GARDNER’s iPhone: Close it, stop the recording, and go into closed session.
