[APPLAUSE] BACK TO THE BUSINESS OF THE DISTRICT.

WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO ITEM K, DISCUSSION REGARDING THE 2021/2022 BUDGET. MRS. SMITH.

[3.H. Consider and act on the reorganization of the Board of Trustees]

>> [NOISE] THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

TONIGHT IS OUR OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2021/2022 BUDGET.

MOST OF THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE BUDGET YOU WERE GIVEN AT YOUR WORKSHOP ON MAY 25TH.

I DO WANT TO BRIEFLY GO OVER A FEW CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THAT TIME BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE OR PUBLIC COMMENT.

BETWEEN MAY 25TH AND TODAY, THE LEGISLATURE CONCLUDED THEIR 87TH SESSION, AND ONE SURPRISE CAME OUT OF HOUSE BILL 1525 IN A CHANGE TO THE FAST GROWTH ALLOTMENT.

THIS HAPPENED ON THE VERY LAST DAY OF SESSION.

THE ALLOTMENT CHANGE WE WERE EXPECTING, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IT GAVE THE DISTRICT WE WERE NOT EXPECTING.

WE DID END UP WITH ABOUT $10 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE PROJECTED FOR NEXT YEAR OUT OF THAT CHANGE TO THE FAST GROWTH ALLOTMENT.

SINCE FRISCO IS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE, I THINK, FASTEST GROWING DISTRICTS IN THE STATE STOCK.

I'VE GIVEN YOU SOME VERBIAGE RIGHT THERE, JUST SO YOU KNOW HOW IT HAS CHANGED.

BUT THAT WAS THE BULK OF THE REVISED REVENUE PROJECTION THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU.

THE BILL ALSO REINSTATED THE G/T ALLOTMENT, WHICH IF YOU REMEMBER BACK IN THE IN THE PREVIOUS SESSION, THEY DIDN'T ELIMINATE THE G/T ALLOTMENT, BUT THEY ROLLED IT INTO THE BASIC ALLOTMENT.

WELL NOW, THEY'VE REINSTATED IT IN ADDITION TO THE MONEY THAT THEY ROLLED INTO THE BASIC ALLOTMENT.

THAT'S GIVING US A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY AS WELL.

WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT $10.8 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WE WEREN'T PROJECTING WHEN WE HAD OUR MAY 25TH MEETING, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR FRISCO.

WHAT WE DID NOT WANT TO DO WAS GO IN AT THE 11TH HOUR AND ALLOCATE ALL OF IT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REALLY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT WE DO WITH THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE GOING FORWARD, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR IT LONG-TERM IN A WAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR OUR NEEDS.

WE ARE GOING TO, HOWEVER, RECOMMEND A FEW CHANGES.

I'VE INCLUDED THOSE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

THE FIRST ONE IS AN ONSITE EMPLOYEE HEALTH CLINIC.

THIS IS ONE OF THE ITEMS ON THE LIST THAT DID NOT MAKE THE CUT IN THE FIRST ROUND.

[3.K. Discussion regarding 2021-2022 budget]

AS YOU ALL KNOW, HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE GOING UP AGAIN NEXT YEAR FOR THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE TRS-ACTIVECARE PLANS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS OR SO AND WORKING, WE HAVE GOT A PARTNERSHIP NOW WITH CHILDREN'S AND UT SOUTHWESTERN THAT WE'RE WORKING ON TO PROVIDE AN ONSITE EMPLOYEE HEALTH CLINIC THAT CAN PROVIDE FREE OR LOW COST HEALTH CARE; ACUTE URGENT CARE TYPE THINGS TO OUR EMPLOYEES.

THAT COST HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET FOR YOU.

WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT INCREASING THE TEACHER RAISE BY $300.

IN THE PREVIOUS VERSION, IT WAS 1,850 FOR A TEACHER RAISE, NOW IT'S 2,150, WHICH BRINGS THE AVERAGE TEACHER RAISE PERCENT UP TO ABOUT 3.5 PERCENT.

THE REST OF THE ALL STAFF WILL STILL GET THAT THREE PERCENT RAISE.

THIS ALLOWS US TO INCREASE OUR BEGINNING TEACHER SALARY FROM 56,200 WHICH IS WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD IN OUR COMPENSATION PLAN DRAFT TO 56,500,

[01:30:04]

WHICH WE THINK WILL BRING UP THAT LOWER END, OUR BEGINNING OF 0, 1, 2 YEAR TEACHERS CLOSER TO THE MARKET MEDIAN.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE BEFORE I MOVE ON? THE OTHER COMPENSATION PIECE THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING CHANGING, IS WE'RE RECOMMENDING ONE ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME PAYMENT TO STAFF.

REMEMBER LAST SUMMER, WE PAID OUT WHAT WE CALL THE CARES PAYMENT.

THAT WAS THE CORONAVIRUS APPRECIATION AND RECOGNITION [LAUGHTER] OF EFFORT STIPEND IS WHAT CARES STANDS FOR.

THAT WE PAID OUT LAST SUMMER FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT WORKED WITH US THROUGH THE BEGINNING, THROUGH THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC AND PIVOTED ON A DIME AND SHIFTED EVERYONE TO VIRTUAL AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE STUCK WITH US THROUGH THIS PAST YEAR AND DONE ALL THIS GREAT WORK THAT WE'VE DONE.

THIS PAYMENT WOULD BE ONE-TIME PAID OUT IN SEPTEMBER, AND IT WOULD BE FOR EMPLOYEES WHO WERE EMPLOYED ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2020 AND REMAIN EMPLOYED THROUGH THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR AND UNTIL AUGUST 30TH, 2021.

WE WILL MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RETIRING FROM EDUCATION FROM MAY OVER THE SUMMER.

THE PAYMENT WOULD BE EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF ONE PERCENT OF EMPLOYEES BASED WAGES OR $250.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT PIECE? AGAIN, THIS IS A ONE-TIME PAYMENT THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING SO THAT REVENUE WILL BE USED THIS YEAR FOR THAT, BUT THEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN OUR FINANCIAL PLAN GOING FORWARD TO ALLOCATE TO OTHER THINGS.

[NOISE] THEN THE LAST CHANGE THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS A SMALL INCREASE IN THE SUBSTITUTE BUDGET TO HELP US PAY FOR SOME SUBSTITUTES FOR SPECIALIZED POSITIONS, THINGS LIKE DIAGNOSTICIANS AND THEN SOME CLERICAL POSITIONS TOO THAT WE DON'T CURRENTLY CONTRACT WITH ESS FOR.

[NOISE] TO SUMMARIZE THE CHANGES, I HAVE GIVEN YOU THREE COLUMNS IN THIS TABLE.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE WERE WITH THE MAY WORKSHOP, THE CHANGES THAT I JUST DESCRIBED TO YOU, AND WHERE WE ARE IN THIS NEAR FINAL PROPOSAL.

WE DO STILL HAVE ABOUT A WEEK LEFT THAT WE CAN MAKE CHANGES TO THIS.

WE DON'T ANTICIPATE RECOMMENDING ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES, SO ANY CHANGES WOULD COME FROM RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE BOARD.

LIKE I MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL REVENUE AVAILABLE TO US.

WE WILL THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTS THAT MAYBE DIDN'T MAKE THE LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS THIS YEAR THAT WE FEEL LIKE AS WE GET INTO THE FALL ARE REALLY NEEDED, AND WE MAY BRING THOSE TO YOU AS AMENDMENTS IN THE FALL.

ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT ANY SURPLUS THAT WE GENERATE NEXT YEAR, SINCE WE ARE ADOPTING A SURPLUS BUDGET, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, DURING OUR BUDGET WORKSHOPS NEXT YEAR, HOW TO ALLOCATE THAT TO FUTURE COMPENSATION, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO START LOOKING AT ADDING ON, EXTENDING SOME OF THOSE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES, AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR.

HERE IS JUST YOUR TOTAL NEAR FINAL PROPOSED BUDGET BY FUND.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ADOPT THE BUDGET FOR ALL THREE FUNDS.

HERE'S YOUR BREAKDOWN BY FUNCTION FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AS IS NORMAL FOR US, THE MAJORITY OF OUR MONEY GOES TOWARDS INSTRUCTION, JUST OVER 64 PERCENT WITH THE NEXT LARGEST CATEGORY BEING INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT.

WE TALKED IN OUR MAY WORKSHOP ABOUT BENCHMARKING AND ABOUT HOW WE STACK UP TO PEER DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF THESE FUNCTIONAL AREAS, SO THIS IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHERE WE WOULD EXPECT OUR BUDGET BREAK DOWN TO BE.

THEN AGAIN, JUST LOOKING AT THOSE ANOTHER WAY, THIS IS SPENDING PER STUDENT.

YOU CAN SEE THE DARK BLUE IS THE 2021 ADOPTED BUDGET.

THE PURPLE IS THE PROJECTED ACTUAL FOR THIS YEAR, AND THEN THE LIGHT BLUE IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION LINK THAT I SENT YOU, YOU GUYS HAVE THESE DOCUMENTS.

THESE ARE ALL HOTLINKED IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND PULL UP ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS.

YOU'VE GOT A COMPENSATION PLAN DRAFT, WHICH IS PART OF WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED TO VOTE ON AT THE BUDGET ADOPTION MEETING IN ADDITION TO OUR UPDATED MULTI-YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN AND DETAILED BUDGET.

[NOISE] THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING,

[01:35:01]

SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE COMMENTS ON THE BUDGET.

>> OKAY TO GO? JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS YOU GAVE US DURING THE WORKSHOP AS WELL AS THESE UPDATES.

JUST FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN DIGGING A LITTLE BIT DEEPER, BUT DON'T WANT TO READ HUNDREDS OF PAGES, YOU GUYS [LAUGHTER] ARE GOING TO PUBLISH THE POPULAR BUDGET REPORT AGAIN AFTER WE ADOPT LATER THIS MONTH?

>> BUT WE WILL BE PUBLISHING THE BUDGET BOOK WHICH WILL HAVE A BUDGET IN BRIEF SECTION, THIS YEAR.

>> FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO READ ALL OF IT, THERE WILL BE A SMALL SECTION AT THE BEGINNING, JUST AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.

>> PERFECT. JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE. THANKS, CAMILLE.

>> FORWARD, DO YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM L, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE 2021-2022 BUDGET.

WE DO HAVE FOUR [NOISE] FOLKS WHO HAVE JOINED US TO SPEAK ON THE BUDGET THIS EVENING.

WE'LL START WITH THESE FOUR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THEN WE WILL TAKE COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SPEAK ON REGARDING THE 2021-2022 BUDGET, WE'LL INVITE YOU TO THE PODIUM ONCE THESE FOUR HAVE ALREADY GONE.

THE FIRST SPEAKER IS LISA SHAFFER, FOLLOWED BY BERTHA GRAY.

WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM, IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

[NOISE]

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LISA SHAFFER.

I LIVE AT 7809 VIRGINIA DRIVE HERE IN FRISCO.

I AM A SPECIAL NEEDS BUS DRIVER.

I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED WITH FRISCO ISD FOR 12 YEARS, STARTING MY 13TH YEAR HERE THIS NEXT SEASON.

SIX YEARS, I WAS A MONITOR.

I THINK MONITORS DON'T GET ENOUGH RECOGNITION.

THEY ARE SIDEKICKS.

THEY ARE RIGHT-HAND MEN.

THEY HAVE MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES.

THE [NOISE] HIRING RATE FOR THE MONITORS IS CURRENTLY 1181.

THAT HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS.

YOU CAN GET A JOB AT A FAST-FOOD PLACE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THAT WITH LESS RESPONSIBILITY.

I DON'T WANT TO GO OVER EVERYTHING.

I'M GOING TO EMAIL YOU GUYS THE LIST OF WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES THEY HAVE, BUT THEIR JOB IS REALLY OVERLOOKED.

I DON'T THINK THAT THEY GET ENOUGH INCREASES FOR WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.

THEY PUT UP WITH A LOT.

WITHOUT THEM, WE COULDN'T DO OUR JOBS.

WE WORK WITH THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS; THERE ARE KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS, THERE'S KIDS IN SAFETY VESTS, THERE'S KIDS THAT NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION DUE TO TRACHS, FEEDING TUBES, ETC.

WE'RE KIND OF NURSES.

WE COVER EVERYTHING.

BUT IN A NUTSHELL, OUR JOB IS A PART-TIME JOB WITH A FULL-TIME RESPONSIBILITY.

WE'RE ONLY GUARANTEED FIVE HOURS.

THEY'RE ONLY GUARANTEED FIVE HOURS.

WE HAVE TO BUDGET OUR MONEY BUT WE LOVE WHAT WE DO, SO WE COME BACK EVERY YEAR.

I JUST WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION, THEY REALLY NEED A BUMP IN PAY. THEY REALLY DO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME [APPLAUSE].

[3.L. Public Hearing regarding 2021-2022 Budget]

>> THANK YOU. UP NEXT IS BERTHA GRAY, FOLLOWED BY SHERRY DANIELS.

>> HI. I'M BERTHA GRAY.

I'M A RESERVED WANDERER AT FRISCO ISD.

DO I GIVE MY ADDRESS? [LAUGHTER] IT'S 1422 BERKELEY ROAD ISLAND, TEXAS.

I'M STANDING UP ON BEHALF OF THE MONITORS AT FRISCO ISD, ASKING FOR MORE PAY.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 15 YEARS AND I MAKE LESS THAN $13 AN HOUR.

I HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK.

I WORK MY EIGHT HOURS AND I'M ALSO DRIVING, AND DOING DLT LIKE THE DRIVERS DO.

BUT IN OUR DRIVE, THE SUV AND THE REGULAR MONITORS GET PAID, PROBABLY MORE OR LIKE ME.

I'M ASKING FOR MORE MONEY AND PAY.

[APPLAUSE].

>> THANK YOU, MS. GRAY. UP NEXT IS SHERRY DANIELS FOLLOWED BY WANDER STRONGFIELD.

>> MY NAME IS SHERRY DANIELS.

I LIVE AT 4140 LEGENDARY DRIVE FRISCO TEXAS.

I'VE BEEN WITH FRISCO FOR 15 YEARS.

[01:40:02]

I'M A RESERVED DRIVER FOR 11 YEARS.

FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, I'VE BEEN EITHER MONITORING OR RESERVED DRIVING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T KEEP MONITORS ON STAFF BECAUSE THE PAY IS SO SMALL.

THEY GO OTHER PLACES, SO YOU'RE PAYING ME MORE MONEY TO BE A MONITOR THAN YOU COULD PAY TWO PEOPLE TO BE A MONITOR.

I'M HERE JUST SO THEY CAN GET MORE MONEY BECAUSE THEY DO A LOT OF WORK.

THEY HAVE TO KNOW ALL THINGS FROM FEEDING TUBES TO TRACTS, HOW TO REPLACE A TRACT, HOW TO A [INAUDIBLE] OXYGEN, HOW TO TRANSPORT WHEELCHAIRS, SAFETY, HOW TO PUT IN CAR SEATS FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS.

THERE'S A LOT INTO TRANSPORTING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL ON A SPECIAL NEEDS BUS AND SAFE BACK AND FORTH.

THEY GOT TO BE LIKE THEY'RE JUST THERE AND THEY'RE ALL LOVING AND CARING PEOPLE.

THEY JUST NEED TO GET PAID MORE MONEY.

I'M HERE JUST TO SUPPORT THAT SO WE COULD GIVE THEM MORE MONEY. THANK YOU.[APPLAUSE]

>> THANK YOU. MS. DANIEL'S, UP NEXT IS WANDA STRONGFIELD, AND THEN WE WILL OPEN COMMENTS UP TO THE FLOOR.

>> HEY, I'M WANDA STRINGFIELD AND I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1970, [INAUDIBLE] 5872 SHELLEY LANE.

I HAVE WORKED FOR THE FRISCO ISD GOING ON 12 YEARS AND I STILL DON'T EVEN MAKE 15 BUCKS AN HOUR.

I HAVE BEEN HIT, I'VE HAD MY ARM PULLED OUT, HAD TO HAVE SURGERY, BEEN THROWN TO THE BACK OF THE BUS, GOT MY HEAD BUSTED OPEN.

WE DO A LOT OF WORK, AND YOU STILL COME BACK FOR IT.

IT'S NOT THE PAY, IT'S THE KIDS THAT KEEP US HERE AND THAT WE LIKE OUR JOB.

BUT IT'S GETTING HARD WHEN YOU GO TO MCDONALD'S AND GET 15 BUCKS AN HOUR AND NOT HAD TO PUT UP WITH ANY KIND OF KIDS OR ANYTHING.

AM A RESERVED MONITOR.

I WORK AT ALL OF THREE PLACES: MIDWEST, STADIUM, AND ROLLATOR.

WHEN I GOT THE DEAL FOR RESERVED DRIVER, I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY MORE MONEY.

THEY GIVE DRIVERS, THEY GIVE CROSSING GUARDS MORE MONEY FOR BEING RESERVED.

THEY DO NOT FOR THE MONITORS.

IT'S LIKE THEY JUST OVERLOOK THEM THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY DON'T DO ANY WORK, AND THEY DO A LOT OF WORK.

>> A LOT?

>> [LAUGHTER] YES, QUITE A BIT.

YOU CLEAN UP THE STUFF ON A BUS, THE KIDS GETTING SICK, AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

YOU'RE ALMOST LIKE A TEACHER, YOU'RE THE FIRST ONES THAT THEY SEE IN THE MORNING THAT YOU GET THEM STARTED OUT ON THE RIGHT FOOT.

I HOPE YOU'VE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT IT'S TIME TO GIVE THE MONITORS A RAISE AND MAYBE EVEN THOSE THAT ARE RESERVED, YOU GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY BEING RESERVED.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE].

NOW WE'LL OPEN UP COMMENT FROM THE FLOOR.

IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS ON THE 2021, 2022 BUDGET, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM.

EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES.

PLEASE, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> OF COURSE, MY NAME IS LINNEA HARTONIAN.

MY ADDRESS IS 11043 RUIDOSA LANE, AND IT'S FRISCO, TEXAS.

FIRST OF ALL, I CAME HERE FROM CALIFORNIA TWO YEARS AGO AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TEXAS HAD REMAINED TEXAS, AND WHAT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAD NOT PERMEATED INTO TEXAS.

I'M GETTING TO THE POINT OF THE BUDGET.

IT'S ABOUT THE CURRICULUM.

SO, NOW I'M HERE WITH MY FOUR KIDS AFTER TRAVELING HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND TO FIND THAT I'M BACK IN CALIFORNIA.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH A NEW HIRE ACTUALLY, I THINK SHE WAS HIRED BACK IN NOVEMBER AND SHE'S THE EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SPECIALIST. IS THAT TRUE?

>> I'M SORRY. WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS ON THE 2021, 2022 BUDGET.

>> WELL, I'M GOING TO GO ON TO THIS DIVERSITY, THE EQUITY, AND INCLUSION SPECIALIST.

>> THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS BUDGET CYCLE.

>> SHE'S NOT IN THIS BUDGET?

>> IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS COMING BEFORE THE BOARD FOR THIS BUDGET CYCLE.

>> OKAY. WELL, THEN I'LL TALK LATER ON CURRICULUM.

[01:45:03]

>> IF THERE ARE NO MORE COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM L OR ITEM M, EXCUSE ME, DISCUSSION REGARDING SO3 SPENDING PLAN, MRS. SMITH.

>> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> WHILE WE'RE GETTING READY TO DO THAT, DR. WALDROP, WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT JUST TO ASK TO GET SOME REPORT ON THE MONITOR BUS PAY BEFORE WE MEET TO ADOPT THE BUDGET NEXT WEEK?

>> YES.

>> WOULD YOU MS. SMITH, TO SPEAK.

>> I ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO ADDRESS THAT SUPER-QUICK IF I CAN.

>> GO AHEAD.

>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE INCLUDED IN THOSE MARKET ADJUSTMENTS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THERE FOR MONITORS.

WE ARE ABOVE MARKET IN OUR PAY MINIMUM AND IN OUR MIDPOINT FOR THAT GROUP.

HOWEVER, AFTER A PAY GRADE REVIEW, WE WERE RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE.

I DON'T HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

I CAN EMAIL THAT TO YOU GUYS.

BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THERE FOR BUS MONITORS.

>> GOOD. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HEARD IT BEFORE THEY GOT TO LEAVE, OH THEY'RE RIGHT THERE [LAUGHTER].

>> OH, THERE YOU ARE.

>> PLEASE SHARE THAT WITH YOUR FRIENDS THAT LEFT JUST A MINUTE AGO. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE].

>> I'LL MAKE SURE TO SHARE THAT WITH TRANSPORTATION AS WELL.

OUR SO3 SPENDING DISCUSSION, SHIFTING GEARS JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I MENTIONED TO YOU GUYS AT YOUR BUDGET WORKSHOP THAT WE ARE APPLYING FOR THE THIRD ROUND OF ESSER MONEY, WHICH IS STIMULUS MONEY.

ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PARTICULAR GRANT WAS FOR US TO SEEK PUBLIC INPUT AND THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH OUR SPENDING PLAN IN A PUBLIC MEETING, SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

ESSER STANDS FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL EMERGENCY RELIEF GRANT PROGRAMS. THIS, LIKE I MENTIONED, IS THE THIRD ROUND.

THE FIRST ROUND WAS AUTHORIZED BACK IN MARCH OF 2020.

THAT WAS THE INITIAL STIMULUS PIECE.

TEA USED THAT MONEY TO SUPPLANT OUR FISCAL 2020 STATE A.

THEY USE THAT FOR THE HOLD HARMLESS FOR THAT SPRING SEMESTER.

FOR US, THAT WAS JUST UNDER $600,000 THAT THEY USED TOWARDS OUR HOLD HARMLESS FOR LAST YEAR.

ESSER II WAS AUTHORIZED IN DECEMBER OF 2020.

IT COVERS COSTS ALL THE WAY BACK TO MARCH 13TH, 2020 WHEN THE INITIAL DISASTER DECLARATION WAS MADE.

THE MONEY EXTENDS ALL THE WAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2023.

HOWEVER, TEA ALSO USE THAT MONEY TO SUPPLANT STATE AID FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL 2021 FOR THE HOLD HARMLESS THAT THEY GAVE US FOR ENROLLMENT.

THAT WAS ABOUT 2.7 MILLION FOR US.

NEITHER OF THOSE FIRST TWO ROUNDS OF ESSER RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE COULD SPEND USING OUR DISCRETION.

ESSER III, HOWEVER, IS ADDITIONAL DISCRETIONARY MONEY.

[3.M. Discussion regarding ESSER III Spending Plan]

WE DO HAVE TO APPLY FOR IT AND TELL TEA WHO THEN WILL TELL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHAT OUR SPENDING PLAN IS.

BUT WE CAN USE THAT MONEY TO COVER ANY COSTS THAT WE'VE INCURRED FROM MARCH 13TH, 2020 TO NOW, AND GOING FORWARD THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2024.

FOR FRISCO, THIS IS ABOUT $6.1 MILLION.

THE STATE HAS ALLOCATED THE ESSER MONEY ACROSS THE STATE TO ALL THE DISTRICTS BASED ON OUR TITLE 1 PERCENTAGE.

SINCE WE HAVE A VERY LOW TITLE 1 PERCENTAGE IN FRISCO ISD, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING US GET $6 MILLION AND DISTRICTS LIKE FORT WORTH GETTING $260 MILLION.

LIKE I MENTIONED, FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.

TWENTY PERCENT OF OUR $6 MILLION ENTITLEMENT MUST BE SPENT ON EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS LEARNING LOSS.

THE OTHER 80 PERCENT CAN BE SPENT ON WHATEVER THE NEEDS OF OUR DISTRICT ARE IN ADDITION TO LEARNING LOSS.

LIKE I MENTIONED, THIS SPENDING PLAN THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU IS FULFILLING ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

AS PART OF THE PUBLIC INPUT REQUIREMENT, THESE ARE THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO REACH OUT TO.

THERE'S AN ATTESTATION ON THE APPLICATION THAT WE INCLUDED SOMEONE FROM EACH OF THESE GROUPS.

SOME OF THEM MAY SEEM A LITTLE STRANGE, LIKE CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT'S NOT A GROUP THAT WE TYPICALLY CALL OUT WHEN WE'RE ASKING FOR INPUT, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE REQUIRED GROUPS THAT WE SOUGHT INPUT FROM.

WE MADE SURE ON OUR SURVEY THAT WE CHECKED THAT BOX.

WE INITIALLY USED THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE TO DISPERSE THIS SURVEY.

WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE EQUAL REPRESENTATION FROM ALL OF THESE GROUPS ON THAT COMMITTEE.

BUT THEN WE DID ALSO ALLOW THEM TO EMAIL THE SURVEY THROUGHOUT THEIR NETWORK AND WE DID PUT IT IN A FIRST-CLASS E-NEWSLETTER AS WELL.

WE OVERALL GOT ABOUT 336 RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY.

I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH REAL QUICK WHAT THE RESPONSES SAID AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO

[01:50:02]

DR CUNNINGHAM TO TALK THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF OUR SPENDING PLAN.

WE ASKED WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STAKEHOLDER GROUPS DO YOU REPRESENT.

YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

THEY WERE ALLOWED TO SELECT MORE THAN ONE OPTION.

IF THEY WERE A STAFF AND PARENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBER, THEY COULD SELECT ALL THREE.

FIFTY-THREE PERCENT OF DISTRICT EMPLOYEES WHO RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY ARE ALSO PARENTS WITHIN FRISCO ISD.

THEN ONE OUT OF SEVEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO RESPONDED DO NOT IDENTIFY AS PARENT, STUDENT OR STAFF.

WHEN WE'RE DISAGGREGATING THE DATA, WHAT WE DID TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS COULD SEE THE RESPONSES FROM EACH GROUP INDIVIDUALLY, WE DISAGGREGATED IT FOR REPORTING BASED ON THIS FOUR CATEGORIES.

YOU HAVE STAFF ONLY, PARENTS ONLY, PARENTS WHO ARE ALSO STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO DON'T IDENTIFY WITH ANY ONE OF THOSE GROUPS.

WE ASKED ON THE SURVEY, FOR RESPONDENTS TO CHECK THE BOX FOR POSSIBLE USES OF ESSER FUNDS.

BASICALLY, TEA PUT OUT A LIST OF RECOMMENDED THINGS THAT YOU COULD SPEND MONEY ON.

WE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO INFLUENCE THE SURVEY BY PUTTING OUT WHAT WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON.

WE WANTED TO JUST LEAVE IT OPEN AND SAY, OF THIS LIST THAT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON? WE MADE SURE TO PUT IT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER SO THERE WASN'T ANY BIAS AS TO WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS.

THEN WE INCLUDED ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WERE ON TEA'S LIST.

THEY FELL INTO THESE SIX CATEGORIES RIGHT HERE.

SEVENTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVED THAT WE SHOULD SPEND SOME OF THE MONEY ON EXTENDED INSTRUCTIONAL TIME.

YOU CAN SEE TUTORING WAS THE FAVORITE METHOD THERE.

FIFTY-ONE PERCENT OF TOTAL RESPONDENTS CHOSE TUTORING, FOLLOWED BY BEFORE AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. KEEP IN MIND THAT RESPONDENTS COULD SELECT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY THOUGHT WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CHOOSE THEIR FAVORITE OF THESE.

SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVED THAT WE SHOULD SPEND SOME OF THE MONEY ON FACILITIES UPGRADES, BUT THERE WAS NO OVERWHELMING MAJORITY ON WHAT THOSE FACILITIES UPGRADES SHOULD BE.

HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN FOR YOU.

THIS WAS THE BIG WINNER.

NINETY-TWO PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD SPEND ESSER MONEY ON MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS.

I WILL SAY TOO, THERE WERE TWO OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS ON THE SURVEY, WHICH YOU WERE ALL GIVEN A COPY OF ALL OF THOSE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS JUST FOR YOUR READING.

THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF RESPONSES TO BOTH OF THOSE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH.

COUNSELING SERVICES RECEIVED THE HIGHEST MARK IN THIS CATEGORY.

SIXTY PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS SELECTED THAT WE SHOULD INVEST MONEY IN ADDITIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES.

ALSO, INTERESTINGLY, A MAJORITY OF STAFF SAW A NEED FOR SOCIAL WORKERS OR AT-RISK COORDINATORS.

IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, 77 PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVE WE SHOULD INVEST MONEY IN THIS AREA.

BUT AGAIN, LIKE THE FACILITIES PIECE, THERE WAS NO OVERWHELMING MAJORITY ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN ON THAT PIECE BY GROUP.

NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVE WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON STAFFING.

SIXTY-TWO PERCENT BELIEVE WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT INITIATIVES SO THINGS LIKE BONUS PAY.

I WILL TELL YOU WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING BONUS PAY WITH THIS MONEY BECAUSE WITH $6 MILLION, THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO COVER THE ENTIRE DISTRICT.

BUT LIKE I MENTIONED IN THE BUDGET PRESENTATION, WE ARE ALLOCATING SOME MONEY THAT CARES TO [INAUDIBLE] PAYMENT OVER THE SUMMER.

FIFTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS WANTED US TO INVEST MONEY TO REDUCE CLASS SIZES AND THEN ANOTHER 57 PERCENT FOR SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION [NOISE] THEN TECHNOLOGY, 70 PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVED WE SHOULD SPEND MONEY ON TECHNOLOGY.

AGAIN, NO OVERWHELMING MAJORITY AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY WE SHOULD INVEST IN.

I HAVE INCLUDED AS LINKS TO THIS PRESENTATION OUR DETAILED SPENDING PLAN.

WES AND AARON ARE GOING TO GO OVER THIS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES, AT A HIGH LEVEL, THE DETAIL IS THERE FOR YOU TO CLICK ON AND FOLLOW ALONG WITH IF YOU WANT TO.

I ALSO INCLUDED THE INFORMATION FROM TEA ON THIS GRANT JUST IN CASE YOU REALLY ARE INTERESTED IN READING ABOUT IT.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU WES.

>> THANK YOU, KIM. BOARD, AS YOU'VE HEARD, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME SPECIFIC GOALS RELATED TO USING THESE FUNDS TO SUPPORT STUDENT LEARNING.

[01:55:03]

WE ARE COMMITTED TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY OUR MOST VULNERABLE LEARNERS.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO OFFERING A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS AND SUPPORT TO ENSURE WE ASSIST OUR STUDENTS GROWTH ACADEMICALLY AND NON-ACADEMICALLY.

OUR PLAN INCLUDES A COORDINATED EFFORT TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS.

TO ADDRESS OUR STUDENTS INSTRUCTIONAL NEEDS.

THESE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS ARE ANCHORED IN ESSENTIAL LEARNING STANDARDS, AND THEY EXPLICITLY ADDRESS UNFINISHED LEARNING WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF GRADE-LEVEL CONTENT, RIGOR AND ACCELERATION.

OUR EFFORTS ARE GROUNDED IN TIER 1 INSTRUCTION THAT REFLECT THE DISTRICT'S VISION AND BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING.

WHAT YOU'VE SEEN ON THIS SLIDE ARE PLANS TO PROVIDE COMPENSATORY SERVICES TO IEP ENTITLED STUDENTS.

THESE PLANS CAN RANGE FROM ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO THERAPY AND OTHER ALIGN SERVICES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR IEP ENTITLED STUDENTS.

YOU WILL ALSO SEE A VARIETY OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO OCCUR DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, DURING THE SCHOOL DAY, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS, OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, BOTH IN-PERSON AND THROUGH ONLINE ENVIRONMENTS.

ALL OF THESE ARE PLANNED TO MEET THE VARYING NEEDS OF OUR LEARNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

THE BULK OF OUR EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED ON PROVIDING SUPPORT IN THE CLASSROOM AND DURING THE SCHOOL DAY, SINCE WE KNOW THAT IS BY FAR THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF INSTRUCTION SUPPORT.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS MILLER FOR THE NEXT SECTION.

>> THANK YOU. WE WERE VERY THANKFUL THAT OUR COMMUNITY PRIORITIZED MENTAL HEALTH AND STUDENT BEHAVIORAL NEEDS AS WELL, BECAUSE THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT WE SEE.

OUR GOAL IS TO PROPOSE SUPPORT SPECIFIC TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL NEEDS THAT HAD BEEN AFFECTED BY THE EFFECTS OF ISOLATION AND STRESS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

SPECIFICALLY, CONTRACTED SERVICES COULD SUPPORT COUNSELING SERVICES FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

MENTORING PROGRAMS AT ALL SECONDARY CAMPUSES AND SERVICES THEIR COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AT CAMPUSES IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF SOCIAL WORK TYPE SUPPORTS.

WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TWO TRANSITION SPECIALISTS TO ASSIST OUR CAMPUSES WITH 504 STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED OR OTHERWISE AFFECTED WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

WE'RE PRESENTING A MENTORING COORDINATOR TO ASSIST WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AND ASSIST OUR STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICE COORDINATORS IN DEVELOPING AN INTERNAL MENTORING PROGRAM.

FURTHERMORE, WE'VE PROVIDED RESTORATIVE PRACTICES TRAINING THROUGH NATIONAL EDUCATORS FOR RESTORATIVE PRACTICES OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD TO ENSURE STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS TO STUDENTS.

WE'LL ALSO CONTINUE THE TRUANCY TRIBUNALS, WHICH I'LL DISCUSS MORE IN MY IST UPDATE, AND TO ADDRESS UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.

LASTLY, WE'RE PROPOSING SUPPLEMENTAL PAY FOR COUNSELORS TO MONITOR OUR RELAY SYSTEM AFTER HOURS.

THIS SYSTEM ALERT SAYS IF ANY SELF-HARM LANGUAGE IS DETECTED THROUGH THE USE OF STUDENTS' GOOGLE ACCOUNTS.

WE EXPERIENCED A HIGH RATE OF ALERTS THIS YEAR, AND ON AVERAGE TOOK ACTION ON TWO AFTER HOURS ALERTS PER WEEK.

OUR HOPE IS WE'LL SEE A DECLINE IN THOSE ALERTS.

WE ALL KNOW THAT MENTAL HEALTH OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS HAS SUFFERED OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, AND IT'S OUR GOAL TO PUT PROGRAMS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS SO THAT STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. THANK YOU.

>> HOUSE BILL 1525, WHICH IS THE SAME BILL THAT I MENTIONED DURING THE BUDGET PRESENTATION THAT GAVE US THE EXTRA $10 MILLION, ALSO PROVIDES SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR NO OR LOW ESSER DISTRICTS, WHICH WE ARE ONE OF.

THE FORMULA THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BILL SHOWS THE POSSIBILITY OF UP TO $44 MILLION ADDITIONAL FOR FRISCO ISD OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY GUIDANCE YET ON HOW THE MONEY MUST BE SPENT, WHEN IT WILL BE PROVIDED, WHAT REQUIREMENTS WILL BE IN PLACE.

BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION TO YOU THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE MONITORING.

WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT HOW THESE PLANS THAT WE'VE JUST GONE OVER CAN BE EXPANDED TO USE SOME OF THAT MONEY.

THEN IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS BEYOND THAT, AFTER WE'VE EXPANDED THESE PLANS AND PROGRAMS, WE WILL LOOK AT OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO.

WE'RE JUST WAITING ON SOME MORE GUIDANCE ON THAT PIECE. THAT'S ALL.

JUST IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS, THE APPLICATION IS DUE TO TEA, I BELIEVE, JULY 27TH.

WE WILL TAKE THE SPENDING PLAN AND INCORPORATED INTO THE APPLICATION THAT WE SUBMIT.

THERE'S NO OTHER ACTION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BY THE BOARD.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OR AARON OR WES?

>> NO. JUST GLAD TO SEE THOSE PRIORITIES LINE UP FROM THE COMMITTEE THAT YOU GUYS USED OFF THE CUFF FIGURED OUT TO BE WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED.

>> BOARD, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM IN DISCUSSION REGARDING MAY 2021 BOND SALE.

[02:00:06]

MRS. SMITH, YOU'RE BACK AT IT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED UP HERE.

>> [INAUDIBLE].

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO YOU CAN SAY THERE IF YOU WANT.

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS PRESENTATION.

I'M GOING TO INVITE BRIAN GRABS, WHO IS OUR DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR UP TO THE PODIUM TO GIVE YOU GUYS THIS PRESENTATION.

NORMALLY, BRIAN WOULD GIVE THIS PRESENTATION WHEN WE ADOPT A BOND ORDER, BUT BECAUSE WE DID IT QUICKLY THIS YEAR SO THAT WE CAN GET INTO THE MARKET AND GET THOSE BONDS SOLD, I ASKED HIM TO COME AFTER THE BOND SALE TO GIVE YOU THE PRESENTATION, SO I WILL INVITE BRIAN UP.

TYPICALLY WE'RE TALKING IN PREVIEW AND A BOND SALE.

>> THANK YOU [NOISE].

KIMBERLY MENTIONED.

I GET THE LUCKY TODAY TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOU NOT ONLY RESULTS FROM OUR LAST BOND SALE, BUT JUST GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AS TO WHERE YOU'RE AT ON THE BOND PROGRAM ITSELF.

THIS IS THE LOOK AT THE DISTRICT'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS DEBT SERVICE PROFILE.

I'LL POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.

YOU CURRENTLY GOT AN OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE AFTER OUR MOST RECENT SALE OF $2.2 BILLION.

WHAT WE DO SHOW HERE EVERY TIME WE SHOW YOU THIS CHART IS IN RED, THE OUTSTANDING DEBT SERVICE TO THE TAX-BASED RATIO.

EVERY TIME YOU GO BEFORE A BOND SALE LEADING UP TO THAT, WE TAKE YOUR DISTRICT WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATION THROUGH THE RATING SERVICE PROCESS.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STATISTIC THAT THEY LOOK AT IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL BALANCE YOU HAVE AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TAXABLE VALUE.

PROBABLY 6 TO 7 YEARS AGO, THIS STATISTIC WAS MUCH HIGHER IN TERMS OF THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE FOR THE SIZE OF THE TAX BASE BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT AS YOU HAVE GROWN, THE STATISTIC ANNUALLY HAS COME DOWN EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

JUST PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT 4.77 PERCENT IN REALITY IS ACTUALLY EVEN LOWER BECAUSE WE'RE USING THE 2021 CERTIFIED VALUE.

THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS, THE APPRAISAL DISTRICTS CURRENTLY OF CERTIFYING THE '21 TO '22, WHICH WOULD BRING THAT DOWN EVEN MORE.

AS PART OF THE PROCESS, AGAIN, LEADING INTO EACH OF THE BOND SALES THAT WE TAKE INTO THE MARKET, THIS IS THE RATING PROCESS WHERE EVERY BOND THAT YOU SELL IS TRIPLE RATING.

THAT'S THE HIGHEST CREDIT QUALITY RATING YOU CAN ACHIEVE BUT AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, BOTH RATING SERVICES HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH

[3.N. Discussion regarding May 2021 bond sale]

THE ADMINISTRATION TO LOOK AT WHERE YOU'RE AT ANNUALLY LEADING UP TO EACH SALE.

FRISCO ISD BY STANDARD AND POOR'S AND MOODY'S INVESTOR SERVICES, WHICH ARE THE TWO RATING FIRMS, HAS THE HIGHEST AA, CREDIT QUALITY RATING AREAS.

THEY ONLY JUMP FROM WHERE YOU'RE IS A AAA RATED DISTRICT.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IN A MOMENT HOW MANY DISTRICTS ARE AT THAT LEVEL BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SEVEN OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT HAVE A BOND RATING THAT'S HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE.

THE WORDS AND WHAT THE ANALYST SIDE HERE IN RED IS THEIR TERMS BASED ON THEIR REVIEW OF YOUR FINANCES, THE TAX BASE, LOOKING AT THE DEBT, HOW YOU'RE MANAGING THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.

WE STAND THE HIGHEST CREDIT QUALITY AA RATINGS.

TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, WE'VE GOT A CHART HERE SHOWING THE OUTSTANDING TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICT RATINGS BY MOODY'S ON THE LEFT AND STANDARD AND POOR'S ON THE RIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE MOODY'S, WHICH HAS FRISCO AT AA1, HAS ONLY SEVEN OTHER TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE A HIGHER RATING.

THOSE ARE FLIPPED NOTED THERE AT THE BOTTOM AND INCLUDE AUSTIN GARLAND ISD, HIGHLAND PARK ISD, HOUSTON PARK ISD REGISTERED IN ROUND ROCK.

IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT AT STANDARD AND POOR'S, THEY DO NOT HAVE A TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT'S IN THE AAA RATED CATEGORY.

WHERE YOU SIT IS YOU'RE ONE OF 27 THAT'S READY TO AA1 BY MOODY'S AND ONE OF 23 THAT'S RATED AA+ BY STANDARD AND POOR'S.

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU SELL BONDS, YOU'RE SELLING TO NATIONAL INVESTORS AND THEY SEE THE AAA RATING, BUT THEY ALSO SEE THE VERY STRONG UNDERLYING CREDIT RATING.

THAT DOES NOTHING BUT LEND ITSELF TO ALLOWING YOU TO BORROW AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST.

MOVING ON [OVERLAPPING] THAT LAST PAGE, I THINK THAT YOU MENTIONED THIS BEFORE.

THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE IN US AND THESE OTHER DISTRICTS IS THEIR GROWTH IS NOT WHERE WE ARE.

THAT'S WHAT'S LIMITING US TO JUMP TO THAT HIGHEST LEVEL.

JUST MORE ANTICIPATED GROWTH FROM THE DEBT WERE STILL SERVE.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

IF YOU NOTICE A LOT OF THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, LAND WISE, YOU STILL HAVE A LOT MORE GROWING, A LOT MORE BONDS TO SELL.

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE GROWING, SOME OF THESE LIKE PLANO IS AN EXAMPLE WHERE THEY'RE NOT GROWING AND ADDING AS NEARLY AS MANY SCHOOLS AS YOU ARE ANNUALLY.

WHAT THEY'RE HAVING TO DO NOW IS RENOVATE EXISTING IS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NOT GROWING AS FAST.

IT'S A GOOD POINT. THANK YOU.

THE NEXT SLIDE IS A LOOK AT YOUR TAXABLE VALUE HISTORY AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

[02:05:05]

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CHART THAT WE TRACK EACH AND EVERY YEAR AS WELL KNOW THAT YOU DO AS WELL.

BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS IF YOU LOOK AT COLUMN 2, THIS IS THE TAX BASE ITSELF BEFORE THE FREEZE ADJUSTMENT, AND THEN COLUMN 3 REPRESENTS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IN GROWTH WITH COLUMN 4 BEING THE PERCENTAGE GROWTH.

WHEN WE DID THE [INAUDIBLE] THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS OF 2014 AND THE 2018 ELECTIONS, WE WERE NEEDING THE TAX BASE WHEN WE WERE RUNNING THOSE PRE-ELECTION BOND MODELS TO GROW SOMEWHERE AROUND $1.5 TO $2 BILLION AND TAX-BASED A YEAR.

IF YOU LOOK AT COLUMN 3, WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE 2014, YOU'VE EXCEEDED THAT IN EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS DONE NOTHING MORE THAN ALLOW YOU TO SELL THE BONDS, AND DO SO AT THE INS TAX RATE THAT YOU PROMISED THE DISTRICT, AS WELL AS HAVE FULL FLEXIBILITY TO ADD OR SUBTRACT BONDS WITH EACH SALE DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF EACH YEAR PROJECTS.

IN RED '21,'22 IS A LOOK AT AGAIN, THIS IS MY NUMBER.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO TRACK ANYTHING THAT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN FROM A BUDGET STANDPOINT.

THIS IS SIMPLY BASED ON WHAT COLLIN AND DENTON COUNTY PROVIDED THE DISTRICT BEFORE THE FREEZE ADJUSTMENT.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT OVER $50 BILLION AND CERTIFIED VALUE THIS YEAR.

AGAIN, THE STATISTIC THAT WE LOOKED AT, THAT 4.7 PERCENT AND DEBT TO TAX BASE, THAT 4.77 PERCENT WAS RUN ON LAST YEAR'S VALUE OF 46.

THIS IS A LOOK AT OUR INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU'VE SEEN FROM ME A NUMBER OF TIMES.

THIS IS A NATIONAL INDEX THAT UPDATES EACH AND EVERY FRIDAY THAT I SHOW YOU TO ILLUSTRATE THE TREND AND INTEREST RATES GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO, IN THIS CASE, OCTOBER 2008, WHERE THIS INDEX HIT A HIGH OF 6.01 PERCENT.

LAST FRIDAY, THIS INDEX UPDATED TO THE FAR RIGHT.

WHAT I'VE DONE TODAY WITH THIS CHAR IS EVERY POINT ILLUSTRATED THERE IN YELLOW IS A POINT IN TIME WHERE FIRST GO HAS SOLD BONDS.

IF YOU LOOK TO THE FAR RIGHT OF THIS CHART, YOUR LAST FOUR BONDS CELLS HAD BEEN IN A MARKET THAT HAS BEEN AT RECORD LOW LEVELS.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK MORE IN DETAIL AND SHOW YOU THE EXACT BORROWING COSTS BUT THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA BECAUSE NOT ONLY IF WE'VE BEEN SELLING BONDS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION AND THE PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERTAKE THERE BUT WE'VE ALSO REFINANCE TO CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BONDS TO SAVE THE DISTRICT INTEREST COST OVER THE BONDS THAT WERE SOLD IN HIGHER INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENTS BACK IN 2008,2009.

[NOISE] THIS SLIDE IS A LOOK AT THE BOND REFINANCING HISTORY.

AS YOU WELL KNOW, YOUR BONDS CAN BE REFINANCED SIMILAR TO HOW HOMEOWNERS CAN REFINANCE A MORTGAGE.

THEY LOCK IN AN INTEREST RATE AT A HIGH LEVEL, INTEREST RATES COME DOWN AND YOU CAN REFINANCE THOSE AND SAVE MONEY IN DOING SO.

THIS CHART ONLY GOES BACK TO 2012, IF I WERE TO TAKE THIS BACK TO THE 2007, YOU WOULD SEE EVEN MORE DEBT SERVICE SAVINGS.

THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT SINCE 2012, THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REFINANCED ALMOST $2 BILLION OF OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL, REPLACED IT WITH LOWER INTEREST RATE DEBT SERVICE.

THAT HAS GENERATED OVER $321 MILLION OF INTEREST COST SAVINGS JUST IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

AGAIN, IF I WERE TO GO BACK EVEN FURTHER, IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE.

NOW, WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE IS THE ALSO THE STATISTICS TO THE FAR RIGHT.

WE'VE ACTUALLY COMPLETED THREE TAXABLE REFINANCINGS SINCE 2020, WHERE WE HAVE SET A VERY AGGRESSIVE STATISTIC [NOISE] THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SAVINGS AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE PRINCIPAL THAT WE'RE TAKING OUT MAKES IT WORTH OUR WHILE TO COMPLETE IT.

THREE OF OUR LAST FOUR SALES, WE'VE ACHIEVED DEBT SERVICE SAVINGS AS A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT WE'RE TAKING OUT.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST 25-30 PERCENT, THAT'S UNHEARD OF.

TYPICALLY WE PUT TOGETHER FINANCINGS AS WE CAN ACHIEVE 5% STATISTIC THAN THIS AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 20-30.

WITHOUT OUTSTANDING RESULTS AND BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VERY LOW INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT.

THEN OUR LAST SLIDE IS A LOOK AT YOUR BONDS THAT HAD BEEN SOLD OUT OF YOUR LAST TWO BOND ELECTIONS ON A SERIES BY SERIES BASIS.

IF YOU LOOKED AT THAT THIRD COLUMN, THIS IS THE 2014 ELECTION WHERE YOU STARTED WITH 775 MILLION.

YOU ARE DOWN TO HAVING A BALANCE OF 26 BILLION THAT CAN BE SOLD AT AN ELECTION TO THE FAR RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT TO 2018 SERIES OR YOU STARTED WITH 691 MILLION AND YOU HAVE JUST UNDER 314 MILLION LEFT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE INTEREST RATE COLUMN, WHEN WE BUILD THOSE BONDS MODELS IN 2014 AND 2018, WE WERE ASSUMING THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TIME WE'D BE SELLING AT INTEREST RATES THAT RANGE BETWEEN 4.5 AN 5 PERCENT.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE SERIES OF BONDS HAS BEEN LESS THAN FOUR PERCENT.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR LAST TWO BOND SALES, YOU'VE LOCKED IN INTEREST RATES OF LESS THAN TWO PERCENT ON 30 YEAR FIXED DEBT.

[02:10:01]

VERY LOW AND VERY GOOD RESULTS, THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT GOING INTO NOT ONLY COMPLETING THE AUTHORIZATIONS OUT OF THESE TWO WITH ANY FUTURE DEBT ISSUANCES, THE REFINANCING, THE LOW BORROWING COSTS HAS PUT YOU IN THE POSITION THAT YOU'RE IN TO CONTINUE TO SET THE INS TAX RATE WELL BELOW WHAT YOU PROJECTED IN EITHER ONE OF THOSE ELECTIONS TO THE VOTERS.

WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR ME THIS EVENING.

[NOISE]

>> BRIAN, JUST APPRECIATE THE GOOD WORK THAT YOU GUYS CONTINUE TO DO FOR US YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

MY QUESTION REALLY ISN'T FOR YOU, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT MRS. SMITH, WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, BUT WORTH REPEATING AGAIN.

LAST TIME THAT WE WENT OUT TO THE VOTERS AND GOT APPROVAL TO CONTINUE TO FUND THAT GROWTH OF THE DISTRICT, WE HAD PROMISED AT THE TIME THAT WE FELT CONFIDENT THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THE INS RATE FOR HOW MANY YEARS?

>> AT THE TIME WE SAID TWO TO FIVE YEARS.

>> WE FELT LIKE IT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THREE, WAS THE MAXIMUM WE ARE GOING INTO YEAR 4.

>> THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD STEADY ON THAT.

>> CORRECT.

>> [NOISE] DROP THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2018?

>> YES.

BASED ON OUR TAXABLE VALUE PRODUCTIONS TODAY, WE THINK WE'LL PROBABLY HIT FIVE AS WELL.

[NOISE]

>> IT'S GREAT NEWS. IT ALLOWS US TO SAVE THE TAXPAYERS OF FRISCO ISD A TON OF MONEY, AND IT'S HARD WORK THAT DOES THAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US THE ADVICE THAT YOU HAVE, APPRECIATE IT.

>> I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND APPRECIATE DR. [INAUDIBLE] TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU ALL.

>> THANK YOU, BRIAN. WERE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM O, DISCUSSION REGARDING THE MULTI-TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT FRAMEWORK. DR. CUNNINGHAM.

>> GOING TO TURN THE PODIUM OVER TO DR. ANGELA ROMNEY, OUR MAIN DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC SERVICES.

>> THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE ON FRISCO ISD'S MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT OR MTSS.

TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO ADD AN MTSS COORDINATOR POSITION AND IN THAT ROLE, [INAUDIBLE] HAS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY TO FORMALIZE AND DEVELOP OUR DISTRICTS MTSS FRAMEWORK THAT PROVIDES GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT FOR CAMPUSES AS THEY IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC NEEDS, SUCH AS SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND BEHAVIORAL NEEDS.

WHILE WE'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED STRUGGLING STUDENTS, THE MTSS FRAMEWORK PROVIDES US WITH ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON HOW TEACHERS, COUNSELORS AND ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF CAN COLLABORATIVELY SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONS.

ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL BE UTILIZING A NEW SOFTWARE SYSTEM FRONT LINE TO DOCUMENT A MONITOR STUDENT'S GROWTH AND RESPONSE TO INTERVENTIONS.

[INAUDIBLE] HAS STARTED PROVIDING TRAINING AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE TRAINING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR DISTRICT AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS.

I'M PLEASED TO HAVE NEWLY GERHARD HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE A FEW MORE DETAILS INTO THE MTSS WORK.

>> THANK YOU, DR. ROMNEY, BOARD, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT TO SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

FRISCO ISD HAVE TRANSITIONED INTO A PARADIGM SHIFT IN SETTING HIGH EXPECTATIONS THROUGH INTENTIONAL REDESIGN OF INTERGRATED, TIERED SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR ALL STUDENTS.

A MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT IS A FRAMEWORK THAT ENCOMPASSES SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE CHILD THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ACADEMICS, BEHAVIOR, AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS.

IN 2019, FRISCO ISD ESTABLISHED THE MTSS DISTRICT COMMITTEE TO BEGIN THE TASK OF BUILDING A MULTI-TIERED FRAMEWORK TO ASSIST AND SUPPORT SCHOOLS PROACTIVELY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THE STRENGTHS AND NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS BY OPTIMIZING DATA-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING, PROGRESS MONITORING AND THE USE OF EVIDENCE BASED SUPPORTS AND STRATEGIES WITH INCREASING INTENSITY TO SUSTAIN STUDENT GROWTH.

THIS YEAR, THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE HAS IDENTIFY TRENDS AND ASSESS NEEDS, COLLABORATE IT WITH VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, TO ENSURE A COMMON LANGUAGE AND UNDERSTANDING.

[3.O. Discussion regarding the Multi-Tier Systems of Support (MTSS) Framework]

ANALYZE INTERVENTION SUPPORTS DATA, AND DETERMINE ITS EFFECTIVENESS.

FACILITATED CONTINUOUS DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT RELATED TO TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT, AND COORDINATED DISTRICT-WIDE INITIATIVES.

WE'VE REVIEWED AND ANALYZED CURRENT PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT, AND ADDRESS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NEEDS, AS IT RELATES TO MTSS.

AS WE CONTINUE, THE PARADIGM SHIFT REALLY ENCOMPASSES THE STRUCTURES AND SUPPORTS,

[02:15:01]

AND PROCEDURES THAT OFFER TARGETED SUPPORT SO THAT EVERY STUDENT CAN ACHIEVE IN FRISCO ISD.

THE MTSS FRAMEWORK IS PREVENTATIVE IN NATURE AND PROACTIVE AND BY PROVIDING ALL STUDENTS WITH ENRICHMENT AND INTERVENTION SUPPORT TO ADDRESS THE WHOLE CHILD.

INCLUDING STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SERVICES THROUGH 504, BILINGUAL, ADVANCED ACADEMICS, AND SPECIAL EDUCATION.

AS A RESULT, THE FOCUS OF MTSS IS TO ENSURE A STRONG TIERED SYSTEM TO SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS AT ANYTIME, WHENEVER THEY NEED IT, WHEN THEY NEED IT, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE SUPPORTS FOR THEM.

FINALLY, THE GOAL OF MTSS IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS BY NAME AND NEED, WILL LEARN AT HIGH LEVELS BY MAINTAINING A SYSTEMATIC DISTRICT SUPPORT, THROUGH ONGOING COLLABORATION INVOLVING ALL STAKE HOLDERS.

THAT MEAN WE TOGETHER TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND ALL STAFF, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WILL ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS RECEIVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED WITHIN A MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU TODAY, AND I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US? FOR ANY QUESTION?

>> WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM P, DISCUSSION REGARDING UPDATE ON INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY, MR. GRUBER.

>> [NOISE] GOOD EVENING. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR 2021.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AS WE USUALLY START OFF WITH HERE, HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH THE AUDIT PLAN, WE COMPLETED AND FINALIZED TWO AUDITS DURING THE QUARTER, WHICH WERE SPECIAL EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES, YOU RECEIVE THOSE REPORTS DURING THE QUARTER AND YOU HAVE THOSE IN YOUR MATERIALS AS WELL TONIGHT.

TWO AUDITS ARE IN PROGRESS.

BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN FIELDWORK STAGE, THOSE ARE FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ALSO LOOKING AT IN OUR FLEET OPERATIONS.

MOVING ONTO RECOMMENDATION TRACKING, FISCAL YEAR '19, WE'VE MADE SOME GOOD PROGRESS THERE, WE'RE 91 PERCENT.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THOSE ARE GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY MOVED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON THOSE.

FISCAL YEAR '20, WE ARE ABOUT 59 PERCENT, SO WE'VE ALSO MOVED A LITTLE ON THAT, AS WELL.

I THINK UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE WENT THROUGH PREVIOUSLY WE'RE REALLY MOVED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS A LITTLE FURTHER DETAIL ABOUT WHICH AUDITS HAVE OUTSTANDING RECOMMENDATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, AND YOU ALSO HAVE SOME DETAIL IN YOUR MATERIALS ABOUT THE STATUS OF THOSE.

LIGHTHOUSE ACTIVITY, WHICH IS OUR FRAUD ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE HOT-LINE.

FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, WE HAD 12 INCIDENT REPORTS THAT CAME THROUGH.

THREE WERE SUBSTANTIATED AND 9 WERE UNSUBSTANTIATED.

THAT'S TYPICAL FOR A HOT-LINE.

YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO GET A 100 PERCENT THAT ARE SUBSTANTIATED.

THAT'S THE LIGHTHOUSE.

THE LAST TIME I HAVE FOR THE UPDATE IS THE ORGANIZATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT.

G VOD EXECUTIVE, WHICH MUST CONFIRM TO THE BOARD AT LEAST ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE AUDIT ACTIVITY.

ORGANIZATIONAL INDEPENDENCE IS EFFECTIVELY ACHIEVED WHEN THE CHIEF AUDIT EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONALLY REPORTS TO THE BOARD, AND I DEFINITELY DO THAT.

YOU APPROVE MY PAY, YOU APPROVE MY BUDGET, YOU APPROVE THE AUDIT PLAN AND HAVE AUDIT COMMITTEE ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

THE INTERNAL AUDIT AUDIT ACTIVITY ALSO MUST BE FREE FROM INTERFERENCE, IN DETERMINING SCOPE OF INTERNAL AUDITING, PERFORMING WORK, AND COMMUNICATION RESULTS.

[3.P. Discussion regarding update on Internal Audit Department activity]

YOU HAVE A LETTER IN YOUR MATERIALS THAT CONFIRMS THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INTERFERENCE FROM ADMINISTRATORS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, RELATED TO SCOPES FOR WARMING WORK OR COMMUNICATING RESULTS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE.

>> FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

>> NO, ANDREW. JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN COMMITTEE THIS YEAR. IT WAS GOOD OUT OF YOU.

>> THANKS.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. MOVE TO ITEM Q DISCUSSION REGARDING DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, DR. WITTON.

>> THANK YOU. THE DISTRICT OF INNOVATION COMMITTEE MET TWICE THIS YEAR TO CONSIDER PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO OUR CURRENT LOCAL INNOVATION PLAN.

THOSE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WERE DEVELOPED BASED ON STAFF INPUT, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE ALLOWANCES THAT WE HAVE WITHIN STATE GUIDELINES.

THE COMMITTEE HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE PROPOSALS,

[02:20:02]

AND TONIGHT WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES WHO WILL PRESENT TO YOU WHAT THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE, AND PROVIDE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WE HAVE DR. TIJUANA KINDLE, [INAUDIBLE] NICK NICK WHO ARE CO FACILITATORS OF THE DISTRICT INNOVATION COMMITTEE, AND MS. CHARS HUNT, WHO WORKED WITH OUR ADMINISTRATORS TO DISCUSS ONE OF THE PROPOSALS THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU.

>> WHICH ONE HERE [LAUGHTER].

>> WE'VE GOT SIGNED OUT.

>> THIS IS MY DAILY EXPERIENCE WITH GOOGLE DOCS. [LAUGHTER]

>> [INAUDIBLE].

>> YEAH.

DID YOU PUT IT ON THERE? OF COURSE, WE'RE ALL LOOKING THROUGH. OH THERE IT IS.

>> THAT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER.

[LAUGHTER]

>> THANKS, MELISSA. HI, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US BE HERE TONIGHT.

AS YOU ALL KNOW HOUSE BILL 1842, WHICH PASSED IN 2015 ALLOW DISTRICTS TO ASK FOR CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND, OF COURSE, LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.

THE DOI AMENDMENT PROCESS, BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS PEOPLE COME TO THE DOI FACILITATORS, JOANNA AND MYSELF, AND TO DISTRICT LEADERSHIP AND OFFER SUGGESTIONS FOR PROPOSALS AND VOTES.

THE SECOND STEP, WE LOOK AT THOSE.

THEN WE PLACE THOSE PROPOSALS BEFORE OUR COMMITTEE, THE DOI COMMITTEE, AND THEN ONCE THEY REVIEW THOSE AND VOTE ON THOSE, WE PUT THEM ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE FOR 30 DAYS.

THEY HAVE BEEN ON THERE FOR 30 DAYS.

THEN WE PROPOSE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BOARD AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU CONSIDER THOSE AND THEN VOTE ON THE APPROVAL.

[3.Q. Discussion regarding District of Innovation (DOI) proposed amendments.]

CURRENTLY WE HAVE NINE EXEMPTIONS ALREADY SINCE 2016, SINCE THE INDUCTION OF THE HOUSE BILL 1872 AND THOSE ARE OUR CURRENT EXEMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE PRESENT.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOANNA KENDALL.

AS A PART OF OUR PROCESS THIS YEAR, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OF OUR WORDING.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THIS INITIAL SLIDE.

CURRENTLY, IN 2019, THIS PARTICULAR MOTION WAS APPROVED AND IT SAID FOREIGN LANGUAGE.

OUR REQUEST IS TO ALIGN IT WITH TA WORDING AND TO TRANSITION FROM FOREIGN LANGUAGE AS THE STATEMENT TO WORLD LANGUAGES, WHICH REFLECTS THE WAY THAT TA IS CURRENTLY WORDING WHEN IT REFERS TO ANY LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH.

THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST REQUEST IN JUST LOOKING AT THAT WORDING.

THAT ACTUALLY DOESN'T REQUIRE A VOTE BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A CHANGE TO THE AMENDMENT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT AS A DISTRICT, WE WERE BEING CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT.

THAT INFORMATION WAS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE AS A REQUEST TO CHANGE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, LOOKING AT OUR NEXT ONE, THIS AMENDMENT WAS ALSO APPROVED IN 2019.

IT'S IN REGARD TO PROBATIONARY CONTRACTS.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY LOOKING THIS AS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN MAYBE THE ORDER THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY CHANGES THAT HAVE TO BE VOTED ON, BUT THEY DO NEED TO BE CLARIFIED.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO PROBATIONARY CONTRACTS.

IN OUR 2019 VOTE, IT STATED THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE ALL NEW TEACHERS.

ACCORDING TO THE LANGUAGE ENCODE, WHEN WE REFER TO TEACHERS, IT IS BROADER THAN JUST THOSE THAT ARE IN THE CLASSROOM.

BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS ALSO VERY CLEAR TO EVERYONE AS THEY READ THAT.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE CHANGE PROVIDE ALL NEW TEACHERS TO PROVIDE ALL RETURNING AND NEW EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CONTRACT.

IT IS CLEAR THAT IT IS BEYOND JUST THE CLASSROOM TEACHER THAT THIS WOULD APPLY TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CONTRACT WITH THE DISTRICT AFTER THEIR FIRST YEAR.

WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE A PROPOSED AMENDMENT THAT IS NEW THIS YEAR, AND [INAUDIBLE] IS GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT.

>> THANK YOU, JOANNA.

I'LL BE VERY QUICK BECAUSE THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR WHICH YOU PROBABLY BE VERY FAMILIAR.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING NOW IS LESS THAN ANNUAL APPRAISALS FOR CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS.

THAT WOULD INCLUDE ANY GROUP OF ADMINISTRATORS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, PRINCIPALS, FORWARD.

I BELIEVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALREADY REVIEW THIS PROPOSAL,

[02:25:05]

SO I WON'T READ IT TO YOU.

I CANNOT GO BACKWARDS.

THE FIRST ONE, CONSIDERATION NUMBER 1, IS FOR LESS THAN ANNUAL APPRAISALS OF CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS.

THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT MAYBE AN ADMINISTRATOR THAT ARE NOT A PRINCIPLE.

THE SECOND PAGE IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS.

>> THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH AS MS. [INAUDIBLE] SHARED TO THE COMMITTEE AND THEN BROUGHT FORTH TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.

WE WOULD ASK THAT AT A FUTURE MEETING, YOU WOULD CONSIDER A VOTE ON THESE ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? [OVERLAPPING]

>> I ACTUALLY JUST HAVE ONE.

WITH ALL OF THE DOI AMENDMENTS, ONCE THEY'RE ADOPTED, WHAT IS THE PROCESS, FOR THE APPRAISALS ESPECIALLY, IF YOU DECIDE THAT THAT'S NOT WORKING FOR CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS, WHAT IS OUR RECOURSE WITH THAT?

>> WITH ANY DOI, WE HAVE THE OPTION TO COME BACK AND REVISIT THAT AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGE AS NEEDED.

WE HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE IT GO ON FOR FIVE YEARS OR UNTIL THE END OF THIS ONE, WHICH IS 2022 ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY UNDER OUR FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.

BUT IF WE CHOSE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR CHANGE, WE COULD DO THAT AT ANYTIME.

>> WE'RE NOT RESTRICTED TO A FIVE-YEAR WINDOW?

>> NO. THE AMENDMENT ACTUALLY GOES INTO EFFECT AS SOON AS THE BOARD VOTES.

AFTER YOU GUYS VOTE AND MAKE WHATEVER DECISIONS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO, THEN WE HAVE TO NOTIFY TA THAT THE BOARD VOTE HAS BEEN TAKEN.

THEN THEY JUST PUT THAT WITH THE REST OF OUR INFORMATION AS A DISTRICT.

>> AWESOME. BOARD, DO YOU ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE CLARIFICATION IF THAT'S OKAY.

WITH THE CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS, THE STATE DOES NOT DEFINE WHO CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS ARE SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS EXEMPTION FOR ALL CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE UNDER CONTRACT.

THAT WOULD INCLUDE THOSE WHO ARE IN CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION, WHICH MAY INCLUDE SOME OF OUR FACILITATORS OUR DIAGNOSTICIANS.

IT WOULD ENCOMPASS THAT GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS CLEAR BECAUSE WHEN WE THINK OF ADMINISTRATORS, WE HAVE A CERTAIN THING IN OUR MIND.

WHEREAS IN THIS CASE IT'S A LITTLE BIT BROADER.

BOARD WILL MOVE TO ITEM R CONSIDER AN ACT ON BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS FOR THE 2020/2021 BUDGET, MRS. SMITH.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME EVERY YEAR, YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT WE ADD WHAT WE CALL A FINAL BUDGET AMENDMENT JUST TO ENSURE THAT OVER THE SUMMER AS WE'RE CLOSING THE BOOKS, WE DON'T ACCIDENTALLY GO OVER THE BUDGET IN ANY GIVEN FUNCTION DURING A TIME WHEN YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

IN THIS AMENDMENT, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE PUT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN AND THROUGHOUT VARIOUS FUNCTIONS JUST TO GIVE US SOME CAUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CLOSE OUR BOOKS WITHOUT NEEDING TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

THERE ARE ALSO TWO OTHER SMALLER AMENDMENTS IN THIS REPORT, THERE'S A $12,634 AMENDMENT FOR THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, 86 SESSION, STATE PASSED THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, WHERE LOCAL DISTRICTS CAN CREATE A DESIGNATION SYSTEM TO PROVIDE TEACHERS WITH A STIPEND THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE FOR THOSE TEACHERS THAT ARE IN THAT DESIGNATION.

FRISCO ISD DOES NOT HAVE A DESIGNATION SYSTEM IN PLACE YET.

WE ARE IN THE PLANNING PHASES OF CREATING ONE.

HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE TEACHERS COMING TO US FROM OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ALREADY HAVE DESIGNATION SYSTEMS OR THAT HAVE A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION WHICH AUTOMATICALLY GIVES YOU THAT STIPEND.

THIS MONEY COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE AND IT'S PAID TO THE TEACHERS, BUT WE'RE REQUIRED TO ADOPT IT INTO OUR BUDGET BEFORE WE PAY IT OUT.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S FOR, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AGAIN HAPPENING EVERY YEAR ABOUT THIS TIME FOR THE GROUP OF TEACHERS THAT TEA SENDS US THE LIST OF, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS AN INCREASE OF ABOUT $300,000 FOR SRO SERVICES.

THIS IS JUST TO FINISH OUT OUR ANNUAL PAYMENT TO THE CITY OF FRISCO, WHICH YOU GUYS KNOW WE SHARE THE COST OF OUR SROS WITH THE CITY, AND A COUPLE OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE YEAR.

ONE, WE DID NOT PLAN FOR AS MUCH OF AN INCREASE AS WE NEEDED TO IN TERMS OF JUST THE SALARY INCREASES FOR THE SROS, AND ALSO WE'VE JUST USED MORE SERVICES THIS YEAR.

THERE IS A RECURRING PIECE OF THAT ABOUT $268,000 IS CONSIDERED RECURRING THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO YOU IN THE BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE.

THIS PIECE IS JUST TO GET US THROUGH THE END OF THIS YEAR.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS?

[02:30:02]

[NOISE] FORWARD ANY QUESTIONS.

IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> MOVE TO APPROVE THE BUDGET TRANSFERS FOR THE GENERAL FUND AS PRESENTED.

[3.R. Consider and act on budget transfers and amendments for the 2020-2021 budget]

>> I SECOND.

>> MOTION BY MR. CRASEY AND SECOND BY MISS.

GILLESPIE. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> I.

>> MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM S. CONSIDER AN ACT ON A RESOLUTION REGARDING SO3 AND POLICIES CB LOCAL, MRS. SMITH.

ANOTHER NEW REQUIREMENT THAT CAME OUT OF THIS STIMULUS GRANTS IS THAT WE NEED TO BRING TO THE BOARD OUR PLAN TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL GRANTS, NOT JUST THE SO3 GRANT.

THIS IS THE FIRST ONE IN LINE, BUT ALL FEDERAL GRANTS GOING FORWARD THAT WE PLAN TO APPLY FOR.

WHAT THIS RESOLUTION DOES IS IT ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT WE ARE GOING TO GOING FORWARD ANY FEDERAL GRANT THAT WE APPLY FOR.

TITLE 1, CARL PERKINS, IDEA, ETC, OR ANOTHER ROUND OF STIMULUS IF THERE IS ONE, WE WILL BRING A COPY OF THAT APPLICATION TO YOU AS AN INFORMATION ITEM AT A PUBLIC BOARD MEETING AND THEN YOU GIVE THE SUPERINTENDENT THE AUTHORITY TO SUBMIT THAT APPLICATION TO TEA ON OUR BEHALF.

THIS WILL BE ADOPTED INTO POLICY CB LOCAL AFTER THIS RESOLUTION.

>> MY ONLY QUESTION IS DOES MRS. ARSHIMBO NEED TO READ THIS RESOLUTION JUST AS A RITE OF PASSAGE? [NOISE]

>> I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE TO.

[LAUGHTER]

>> HALF A PAGE THAT ONE DOES NOT COUNT.

>> IT'S AN EASY ONE. I MEAN, AS FAR AS INITIATIONS GO.

>> I DID NOT WRITE THIS ONE, SO THAT'S WHY IT'S ONLY HALF A PAGE.

[LAUGHTER]

>> ALL RIGHT. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

>> MOTION MADE BY MR. CRASEY, SECOND BY MISS.

GILLESPIE. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> I.

>> MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO.

I'LL READ IT IN A DRAMATIC FASHION DURING THE NEXT MEETING.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM T. CONSIDER AN ACT ON APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 10.6, 31 ACRES OF UNIMPROVED PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS, SITUATED IN THE WH BATES SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 83 IN THE FIELDS MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY, THAT FELT LIKE A RESOLUTION, WHAT I JUST READ.

>> YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS NOW, DON'T YOU. [OVERLAPPING]

>> I DO, EXACTLY. DR. PHIL.

>> THIS IS THE SAME, Y'ALL ACTUALLY APPROVE THIS SALE LAST MONTH, BUT THERE'S SOME EXTRA DETAILS IN HERE NOW AND THE ABILITY FOR ME TO GO SIGN ON THE DISTRICT'S BEHALF AT CLOSING.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE APPROVING THIS MONTH.

>> FORWARD ANY QUESTIONS. IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> YOU WANT IT, HERE WE GO.

>> I'LL LOOK AT YOU TO READ THAT ONE, GO AHEAD.

>> I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 10.631 ACRES OF UNIMPROVED PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF FRISCO,

[3.S. Consider and act on a resolution regarding ESSER III and Policy CB(LOCAL)]

DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS, SITUATED IN THE WH BATES SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 83 IN THE FIELDS MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY.

>> MOTION BY MR. CRASEY, SECOND BY MR. GILLESPIE.

ALL IN FAVOR?

>> I.

>> MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO.

WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM U, CONSIDER AN ACT ON APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 INTERNAL AUDIT PLANS, IT'S WRONG IN THERE. MR. GRUBER.

>> RIGHT THERE.

CFC LOCAL REQUIRES THAT AN ANNUAL RISK ASSESSMENT BE CONDUCTED UTILIZING A RISK-BASED METHODOLOGY.

WE DO THAT TO IDENTIFY AUDITABLE AREAS OF THE DISTRICT.

IT ALSO REQUIRES THAT THE ANNUAL INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN BE DEVELOPED BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THAT RISK ASSESSMENT.

THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, JUST WANT TO SHOW AGAIN HOW WE GET FROM THE STARTING POINT TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

ONE ITEM THERE I GUESS THE FOURTH BULLET OVER, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MET IN MAY AND WE DISCUSSED THE DETAILS OF WHICH YOU ALSO HAVE IN YOUR MATERIALS TONIGHT OF THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR '22 AUDIT PLAN, AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THAT AND WITH THAT REQUEST, APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR '22 AUDIT PLAN.

>> BOARD, ANY QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE FRISCO YEAR 2022 INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN.
