SOMETIMES THEY HAVE ATHLETIC SHOES, COATS, HATS, AND GLOVES, AND A FEW MORE THINGS.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOU DO.

I WILL SAY THEY SERVED 783 STUDENTS THIS YEAR, WHICH IS ALMOST 24,000 ITEMS. AWESOME. [APPLAUSE] WHERE ARE MY REFRESH FRIENDS? HELLO, THERE YOU GO. WAY DOWN THERE.

REFRESH FRISCO ACTUALLY PROVIDES HYGIENE ESSENTIALS FOR OUR STUDENTS, SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

ACTUALLY, THIS SCHOOL YEAR I THINK YOU SERVED A TOTAL OF 1,200 STUDENTS RIGHT AROUND THERE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 48,000 ITEMS. GOOD JOB. THAT'S AWESOME.

[APPLAUSE] WE WERE GOING OVER SOME OF THE ITEMS, AND SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, SOAP, TOOTHBRUSHES, DEODORANT, ALL OF THE NORMAL HYGIENE ITEMS YOU WOULD SUSPECT.

THEN WE HAVE FRISCO FASTPACS. WHERE IS THAT? THERE SHE IS. [APPLAUSE] HEATHER'S HERE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. FRISCO FASTPACS, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM.

THEY ENSURE THAT NO CHILD IN FRISCO HAS TO ENDURE HUNGER WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION.

EACH WEEK, THEY DELIVER PREPACKED MEALS FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO HAVE DURING THE WEEKEND.

THEY'RE DISTRICT WIDE, FEEDING MORE THAN 1,000 STUDENTS WEEKLY.

THIS SCHOOL YEAR, THEY DISTRIBUTED 35,840 ADDITIONAL MEALS FOR A TOTAL OF 139,972.

CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO RECOGNIZE LOVEPACS TONIGHT.

WE HAVE FRISCO FASTPACS, AND THAT'S THE WEEKEND MEALS. THEY SEND THOSE HOME.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE FOR A WONDERFUL SERVICE TO FRISCO ISD AND ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE [APPLAUSE] FOR ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS.

IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO CELEBRATE OUR KIDDOS HERE IN FRISCO, AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE ADMINISTRATORS LIKE YOU SHOW UP EVERY NIGHT AFTER A LONG DAY OF HIRING AND WHATEVER YOU'VE BEEN DOING TODAY, BUT HERE TO CELEBRATE WITH US, SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. COACH BURCH?

>> THAT WAS ACTUALLY SOME OF THE STUFF I WAS GOING TO SAY, [LAUGHTER] SO I'LL MAKE IT SHORTER.

GOOD EVENING, DR. WALDRIP AND DISTINGUISHED TRUSTEES.

TO BE A STATE MEDALIST AS A TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE, IS AN AMAZING FEAT.

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 495,000 BOYS AND 330,000 GIRLS THAT PARTICIPATE IN HIGH-SCHOOL SPORTS IN OUR GREAT STATE.

TONIGHT, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE THE BEST OF THE BEST IN OUR TENNIS PROGRAMS. THESE HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE COMPETED AND ADVANCED THROUGH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THE PLAYOFFS TO REACH THE UIL STATE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

WHAT AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO BE TAUGHT BY THE BEST TEACHERS AND COACHED BY THE FINEST COACHES IN TEXAS.

[6. Recognitions]

IF YOU ARE A PARENT OF ONE OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES, WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND TO BE RECOGNIZED? [APPLAUSE] ALSO JOINING US, I'M JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SAY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S ON MY SCRIPT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HURRY. DON'T DO ANYTHING TO THE OTHER LEG.

CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL.

HEAD COACH DOUG FAIR.

THERE YOU GO, THAT WAY WE KNOW WHO DOUG IS.

ASSISTANT COACH CARLOS AGUILAR.

THESE GUYS WERE THE DISTRICT 105A COACHING STAFF OF THE YEAR.

COACH FAIR IS THE TEXAS TENNIS COACHES ASSOCIATION AND THE TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL COACHES ASSOCIATION, 5A COACH OF THE YEAR.

[APPLAUSE] A QUICK STORY ABOUT OUR BOYS DOUBLES CHAMPION.

THERE ARE DOUBLES TEAMS THAT GET TO GO TO STATE.

WELL, THE BOYS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE BOYS DOUBLES WAS CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL VERSUS CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL.

[LAUGHTER] WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO WALK AWAY WITH A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, AND YET WE WERE SAD BECAUSE WE KNEW SOMEBODY HAD TO LOSE, AND NOT GET THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT THEY GOT SECOND.

THERE'S A HUGE TENNIS TOURNAMENT GOING ON THIS WEEK IN FRISCO, AND SO SEVERAL OF OUR TENNIS PLAYERS ARE IN THAT AND NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT ONE OF OUR STATE CHAMPION BOYS DOUBLES TEAM IS AKSHAY KOMMINENI.

HIS PARTNER IS EDUARDO CRUZ WHO COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT.

THE RUNNERS-UP FOR BOYS DOUBLES IS SHERIE DAGUMALI AND AARAV SANGANI. HOW DID I SAY THOSE? DID I DO THOSE RIGHT? [APPLAUSE] AWESOME.

OUR NEXT SCHOOL IS LEBANON TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL, HEAD COACH JARED DAWSON, AND ASSISTANT COACH JOHN LATHAM.

THE 2024 5A STATE MIXED DOUBLES CHAMPIONS, IS A TEAM CONSISTED OF ADDISON ROSSER [APPLAUSE] AND HER PARTNER IS, I THINK, PLAYING IN THAT TOURNAMENT AS WELL THIS EVENING, ADITH RAISHI.

THIS WAS ADDISON'S THIRD TRIP TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT, I BELIEVE, IS THAT RIGHT? SO CONGRATULATIONS, ADDISON.

[00:10:01]

SHE WAS THE DISTRICT COACH OF THE YEAR AND THE 2024 5A STATE GIRLS DOUBLES RUNNER-UP TEAM WAS ELLA WERTZ AND MARIELLA DAVIES.

A QUICK CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH KING ON HER RETIREMENT RECENTLY, AFTER SPENDING 35 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE STUDENTS OF TEXAS AND 14 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN FRISCO ISD.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. [APPLAUSE] DR. WALDRIP AND TRUSTEES, WE THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING FRISCO ISD ATHLETES AND COACHES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR WORK, DEDICATION, AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

WE BELIEVE THAT EDUCATIONAL ATHLETICS IS THE BEST AVENUE TO DEVELOP FUTURE READY STUDENTS, AND WE WORK TIRELESSLY TO MAINTAIN ELITE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THEM.

THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT, SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE EXPERIENCES A REALITY FOR OUR STUDENTS.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO KNOWING EVERY CHILD BY NAME AND NEED IS EVIDENT. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> BOARD, WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 6C, RECOGNITION OF STATE ACADEMIC UIL STUDENTS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MR. KRISHNA CHETTY, OUR COORDINATOR OF ADVANCED ACADEMICS TO THE PODIUM.

HE IS HERE TO RECOGNIZE OUR WINNERS OF THE STATE UIL ACADEMIC COMPETITION THAT TOOK PLACE IN MAY.

>> THANK YOU. I HAVE QUITE ALL THE SCRIPT THAT COACH BURTCH HAD, BUT GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR. WALDRIP.

IT'S HONOR TO PRESENT OUR WINNERS FOR THE STATE UIL ACADEMIC COMPETITION RECENTLY HELD IN MID-MAY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN.

THE UIL ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS ARE DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE STUDENTS TO THINK CRITICALLY AND DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN A VARIETY OF AREAS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPEAKING, WRITING, SCIENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE, AND MATHEMATICS.

TONIGHT WE WILL CELEBRATE 21 STUDENTS WHO EARNED 14 INDIVIDUAL TOP 10 MEDALS, MULTIPLE TEAM AWARDS, INCLUDING STUDENTS FROM LIBERTY AND LEBANON TRAIL, WHO CLAIMED STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THEIR TEAM EVENTS.

EVERYTHING COACH BURTCH SAID, ALL OF THAT APPLIES TO THESE YOUNG FOLKS AND COACHES HERE AS WELL.

FROM HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL, CHLOE SNEED WON A FIFTH PLACE INDIVIDUAL MEDAL IN PROSE INTERPRETATION AND WAS COACHED BY MICHELLE ROBINSON.

THE TEAM OF AGNIV SARKAR, SURGE KONERU, EVANISH MANTRA, AND SRI KRITHI SISTA, TOOK THIRD PLACE IN MATHEMATICS.

I BELIEVE SRI KRITHI IS HERE.

[APPLAUSE] THEY WERE COACHED BY MS. HOLI BOLDER, WHO'S RIGHT NEXT TO HIM AS WELL.

IN ADDITION TO WINNING THIRD ON THAT TEAM, AGNEV ALSO PLAYED SECOND INDIVIDUALLY, AS WELL AS PLACED SIXTH IN NUMBER SENSE AND EIGHTH IN CALCULATOR APPLICATIONS, BUT HE'S NOT HERE, HE'S CELEBRATING ALL THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

NEXT, WE HAVE LEBANON TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL.

THE TEAM OF ELLISON ZHU, ADAM ZHU, SAHASRAD CHIPPA AND KEDAR VERNEKAR TOOK THE TEAM STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, SO BACK TO BACK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE.

[APPLAUSE] THEY WERE COACHED BY KAREN LOVELACE, WHO'S UP THERE NEXT TO HIM.

IN ADDITION TO WINNING FIRST AS A TEAM, KEDAR PLACED SIXTH INDIVIDUALLY AND ADAM PLACED TENTH.

ELLISON AND SAHASRAD ACTUALLY TIED FOR THE INDIVIDUAL FIRST PLACE, MAKING THEM STATE CHAMPIONS AS WELL IN THAT.

SAHASRAD WAS NOT QUITE DONE.

HE ALSO PLACED THIRD IN SCIENCE OVERALL AND SECOND PLACE IN CHEMISTRY, AND HE WAS COACHED BY PAULA BROOKS FOR THOSE, AND HE'S NOT HERE THIS EVENING, BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.

[APPLAUSE] LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL, I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM ARE HERE, BUT THE TEAM OF JASON CHI, JENNY WANG, ADLER ZHU AND BRIAN ZHANG WON THE TEAM STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN SCIENCE, COACHED BY KRISTINE RITTENHOUSE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT TEAM VICTORY, JENNY WANG FINISHED SECOND OVERALL, FIRST IN CHEMISTRY, AND JASON PLACED FIRST OVERALL TO WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THERE.

NEXT WE HAVE FROM MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL.

WE HAVE SERENA MANLUR, WHO PLACED NINTH OVERALL IN CURRENT ISSUES AND EVENTS AND WAS COACHED BY JANET LECH LEITNER. MEMORIAL WAS FIRST.

I THINK FIRST STUDENT TO GO TO STATE UIL, SO THAT'S FANTASTIC.

FROM REEDY HIGH SCHOOL, ALSO NOT HERE, WE HAVE KRITI GODDAM WHO WON A FIRST PLACE INDIVIDUAL MEDAL ON THE BIOLOGY PORTION OF THE SCIENCE EXAM.

SHE WAS COACHED BY MAGGIE PARKER.

WAKELAND HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAD AVISHI PANDYA,

[00:15:01]

THE TEAM OF RYAN ROCHA, CAITLIN WANG, GLADYS MAINES AND ALEX HAN PLACE FIFTH AS A TEAM IN CURRENT ISSUES AND EVENTS.

THEY WERE COACHED BY JOANNA COHEN, WHO IS NOT HERE, BUT SHE IS ALSO RETIRING.

SO I THINK A BRIEF APPLAUSE FOR HER AS WELL WOULD BE GREAT.

[APPLAUSE] THEN IF WE HAVE ANY PARENTS OF THESE STUDENTS, PLEASE STAND, SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE YOU AS WELL.

[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. THANK ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU. BOARD WILL NOW MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 6, ITEMS 6D AND E, DR. FIORI.

>> THANK YOU. TO HELP CELEBRATE OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CTSOS.

YOU HEAR THAT ACRONYM QUITE A BIT.

THAT'S WHAT IT STANDS FOR.

ON THEIR SUCCESSES IN THEIR NATIONAL COMPETITIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OUR CTE COORDINATOR, DR. VICTOR JONES UP TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS AND THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OUR FISD STUDENTS.

>> THANK YOU, DR. FORD. GOOD EVENING TO DR. WALDRIP, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I HAVE THE HONOR TO RECOGNIZE TWO OF OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR RESULTS ON THEIR NATIONAL COMPETITIONS.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE DECA AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ALL THE DECA STUDENTS AND ADVISORS THAT ARE PRESENT THIS EVENING TO COME TO THE STAGE.

NOW, AS THEY'RE COMING UP, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THAT FOR FISD, WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 230 STUDENTS COMPETING IN EVENTS, AND OF THOSE, 49 STUDENTS EITHER RANKED AS A FINALIST OR IN THE TOP THREE OF THEIR CATEGORIES, BRINGING HOME DECA GLASS.

I THINK THAT IT DESERVES AN APPLAUSE.

[APPLAUSE] SO THE COUNTLESS TIME AND HOURS THAT HAS GONE INTO THESE CTSOS, BECAUSE I HAD A OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT THE DECA NATIONAL COMPETITION WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS AND THESE SPONSORS, I WANT TO SAY FIRST IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS FOR YOUR TIME AND DEDICATION TO GIVING UP TIME AND YOUR PERSONAL LIFE TO SPEND TIME, COACH THESE STUDENTS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND ON TASK WHILE THEY'RE AT THESE COMPETITIONS.

SO TO YOU BOTH GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU, DRANO.

THANK YOU, TOMMY, FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE STUDENTS AND FOR THE DISTRICT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT AND INTRODUCE TO YOU THE NEWLY APPOINTED NATIONAL PRESIDENT FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION OF DECA, OUR VERY OWN WAKELAND STUDENT, SARAH SONNY.

[APPLAUSE] OBTAINING THIS EXECUTIVE OFFICE TITLE WITHIN DECA IS THE FIRST FOR FRISCO ISD AND ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS.

HISTORICALLY, I THINK WE'VE ONLY HAD TWO, AND YOU'RE ONE OF TWO.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.

SHE'S ALSO BEEN ACCEPTED TO FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY, WHERE SHE WILL BE PURSUING A NEUROLOGICAL PASS AND ACCELERATED MD PROGRAM WITH A GUARANTEED ACCEPTANCE TO POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOL.

SARAH, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[APPLAUSE] AT THIS TIME, IF THERE ARE ANY PARENTS OF ANY OF THE STUDENTS ON THE STAGE, WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND TO BE RECOGNIZED.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU ALL.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.

>> NOW, AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ANY BPA STUDENTS AND SPONSORS TO THE STAGE.

BPA STANDS FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS OF AMERICA.

YOU PROBABLY HEAR THAT ACRONYM BPA, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT ACTUALLY STANDS FOR.

[LAUGHTER]

>> COME ON UP. I KNOW IT'S SUMMER, AND A LOT OF THE KIDS ARE ALREADY OUT, BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE A COUPLE OF CELEBRATIONS FOR OUR BPA, AND THEN I WANT TO CELEBRATE ONE SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL THAT'S ON THE STAGE RIGHT NOW.

FOR BPA NATIONAL CONFERENCE, WE SENT APPROXIMATELY 125 STUDENTS TO COMPETE FROM 11 OF OUR FISD HIGH SCHOOLS.

OF THESE STUDENTS, FRISCO HAD 24 WINNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, SIX PLACING AND SECOND IN THE NATION, EIGHT PLACING AND THIRD IN THE NATION, AND 93 PLACING IN THE TOP 10 FOR THE NATION OUT OF OUR 125 THAT WE SENT.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN THAT CELEBRATION.

[APPLAUSE] I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE OUR VERY OWN TEACHER FROM REEDY HIGH SCHOOL,

[00:20:02]

PRIOR TO RECEIVING THIS AWARD, MISS MONROE SERVED AS AREA 1 REGION 3 COADVISOR AS WELL AS CLASSROOM EDUCATOR ADVISORY CHAIR.

I WAS ALSO ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE BPA CONFERENCE TO SUPPORT HER AND THE STUDENTS THERE.

WHEN I TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A ROCK STAR, SHE WAS THE GO TO PERSON FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND FOR ALL OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

I FELT JUST HONORED JUST WORKING WITH HER.

I JUST STOOD BY HER AND THEY WOULD ASK ME QUESTIONS JUST TO ASK HER.

I WAS THE MAN NEXT TO THE WOMAN.

GOOD JOB FOR ALL YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, FOR BPA, AND FOR YOUR CAMPUS.

MISS KELLY MONROE, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. BOARD, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT ALONG TO AGENDA ITEM 7, WHICH IS INVOCATION. MR. HILL?

>> PLEASE BOW YOUR HEADS. HEAVILY, FATHER, WE ASK THAT YOU ALLOW US TO BE A SOURCE OF HOPE IN THE COMMUNITY.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR WISDOM AND PATIENCE AS WE MAKE DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, EDUCATORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THIS GREAT DISTRICT.

WE THANK YOU FOR THE DAILY BLESSINGS GIVEN TO EACH OF US.

WE THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING KEITH AND SHERRY TO JOIN US IN SERVING THIS EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNITY.

WE PRAY THAT YOU KEEP OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF ALL SAFE.

WE ALSO PRAY FOR THE SAFETY FOR ALL THOSE THAT PROTECT AND SERVE OUR SCHOOLS EVERY DAY.

HELP US TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE ARE A COMMUNITY OF NEIGHBORS, FAMILIES, AND FRIENDS, AND MAY EACH OF US FULFILL OUR RESPONSIBILITIES WITH CARE, EMPATHY, AND GRATITUDE.

WE ASK THESE THINGS IN YOUR NAME. AMEN.

>> THANK YOU, MR. HILL. BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 8, WHICH IS BOARD REPORT.

ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING? MR. HILL?

>> WELL, THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IS GRADUATIONS.

HAD THE LUXURY OF ATTENDING EIGHT OR NINE OUT OF THE 12 GRADUATIONS. I WISH I COULD HAVE MADE THEM ALL.

I WILL GIVE MAJOR KUDOS TO PRESIDENT DAVIS AND SUPERINTENDENT WALDROP, WHO, I BELIEVE ATTENDED EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

KUDOS TO ALL OF OUR EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS.

I'VE HAD A LOT OF GOOD EXPERIENCES IN MY ONE YEAR ON THIS DISTRICT, AND THAT'S PRETTY TOUGH TO BE, AND IT WAS JUST GREAT SEEING THE JOY IN THEIR EYES AND JUST THE EXPERIENCE IS JUST ONE THAT IS HARD TO FORGET.

IT MAKES A LOT OF THIS WORTH IT, A LOT OF THE ADMINISTRATION ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CAMPUS PRINCIPALS AND EDUCATORS AND PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THAT, AND I THANK YOU.

I THINK YOU ALL DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

>> OUR SROS AS WELL.

>> OUR SROS AS WELL, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

I THINK YOU ALL DID A WONDERFUL JOB AT THE GRADUATIONS AND CONGRATS TO ALL THE KIDDOS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] JUST BECAUSE HE ALMOST FORGOT YOU, MR. SRO, HE OWES YOU PIZZA.

BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 9, DISCUSSION REGARDING AN INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY. MR. GROVER.

>> I ALWAYS HAVE TO MOVE THE MICROPHONE DOWN.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITY FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.

THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING TO THE PLAN.

WE COMPLETED TWO AUDITS, THIS QUARTER, WHICH ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT AND ALSO PIEMS. TWO AUDITS IN PROGRESS, OUR HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL WHICH WE HAVE A DRAFT REPORT OUT RIGHT NOW ON THAT ONE, AND FACILITY RENTAL, WHICH WE ARE GETTING INTO THE FIELDWORK STAGE AS WE SPEAK.

YOU ALSO HAVE COPIES OF THE TWO AUDITS WE COMPLETED IN YOUR MATERIALS THIS EVENING AND YOU RECEIVED IT DURING THE QUARTER.

RECOMMENDATION TRACKING.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS HOW WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON RECOMMENDATIONS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE HIGH PERCENTAGES THERE, SO THAT'S A GOOD INDICATION THAT THEY'RE ACCEPTING OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND IMPLEMENTING THOSE.

THIS NEXT SLIDE JUST SHOWS A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHICH AUDITS ARE RELATED TO WHICH OUTSTANDING RECOMMENDATIONS.

LIGHTHOUSE ACTIVITY, WE HAD 14 ITEMS COME THROUGH, TWO SUBSTANTIATED, SEVEN UNSUBSTANTIATED, AND FIVE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.

[00:25:02]

I DO HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT.

THE STANDARDS IN OUR CFC LOCAL REQUIRE THAT THE CHIEF AUDIT EXECUTIVE MUST CONFIRM TO THE BOARD AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE ORGANIZATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITY.

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

YOU HAVE A LETTER IN YOUR MATERIALS TONIGHT FROM ME, CONFIRMING THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR '24, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO, WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH ANYBODY FROM ADMINISTRATION OR ANYBODY FROM ANYWHERE DETERMINING OUR SCOPES OR PERFORMING WORK OR COMMUNICATING RESULTS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BOARD, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? MRS. [INAUDIBLE]

>> I HAVE A COMMENT, ANOTHER QUESTION.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, ANDREW AND ALSO DANA FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK THIS YEAR.

THIS IS MY SECOND YEAR ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, AND I WAS CHAIR THIS YEAR, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR NOT ONLY THE BOARD TO HAVE A REMINDER,

[7. Invocation]

I TALKED TO TRUSTEES, ESPECIALLY THIS PAST YEAR, I HAD QUITE A NUMBER OF TRUSTEES REACH OUT TO ME ASKING ABOUT OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE AND HOW IT WORKS AND OUR AUDITORS AND HOW THAT WORKS, AND WHEN YOU'RE A DISTRICT THAT DOESN'T HAVE AUDITORS, IT'S HARDER TO LOOK INTO THINGS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BOARD VOTE TO DO A SPECIFIC AUDIT AT A SPECIFIC TIME FOR THAT SPECIFIC THING.

THE WAY THAT WE DO IT HERE JUST FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T AWARE IS THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOU TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT THINGS ARE AUDITED IN ADDITION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE ISD, THEY'LL BRING STUFF AS WELL.

I THINK IT JUST REALLY HELPS US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT TRANSPARENCY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR WORK, BUT ALSO JUST REMIND EVERYONE HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE THAT WE HAVE THIS FUNCTION HERE IN THIS DISTRICT BECAUSE IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> YES, IT DOES. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU.

[8. Board Report]

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 10, COMMUNICATION 2 AND FROM THE BOARD, INCLUDING PUBLIC COMMENTS. MR. PENANGI?

>> WE NOW MOVE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION OF OUR AGENDA.

THE BOARD WELCOMES COMMENTS REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE COMPLETED PUBLIC COMMENT FORMS THIS EVENING, WHICH ARE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THE OPEN MEETING AND ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE TO OTHER SPEAKERS.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE INFORMATION SHARED IN PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE INFORMATION SHARED BY THE PRESENTER AND SOLELY PROVIDES THE OPINION OF THE INDIVIDUAL SPEAKER, NOT THE DISTRICT.

DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, COMMENTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ONLY, NOT OTHER ATTENDEES AND ONLY MADE ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED UPON TO SPEAK.

TO ENSURE THAT ALL SPEAKERS ARE TREATED EQUALLY AND HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, THE PODIUM MICROPHONE WILL BE TURNED OFF AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE TIME OFF FOR EVERY SPEAKER.

PLEASE KEEP ALL PUBLIC COMMENTS RELATED TO DISTRICT BUSINESS AND GOVERNANCE.

IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC CONCERN RELATED TO AN EMPLOYEE OF THE DISTRICT OR A SPECIFIC STUDENT ISSUE, YOU SHOULD UTILIZE THE DISTRICT'S GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES PROVIDED IN THE DISTRICT AND BOARD POLICIES, DGBA LOCAL, F&G LOCAL, AND GF LOCAL.

EACH GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE ALLOWS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO REDRESS GRIEVANCES WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

ADDITIONALLY, IF THERE ARE

[9. Discussion regarding update on Internal Audit Department Activity]

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE BOARD MAY NOT DISCUSS OR ACT UPON ANY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT PROPERLY POSTED ON THE AGENDA.

IF YOU WISH TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON AN ITEM NOT ON THE MEETING'S AGENDA, PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE NEXT COMMUNITY INPUT MEETING, WHICH IS ON SEPTEMBER 30TH AT 6:30 PM.

THE FIRST PORTION OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION IS STAKEHOLDER TESTIMONY, WHEN THE BOARD WILL HEAR FROM PARENTS OF FRISCO ISD STUDENTS, FRISCO ISD EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS, AND OTHER FRISCO ISD RESIDENTS.

ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A FULL NAME AND HOME ADDRESS WHEN SIGNING UP TO SPEAK.

IF WE WERE UNABLE TO VERIFY AN INDIVIDUAL STATUS AS STAKEHOLDER, BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE CALLED UPON TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY.

EACH STAKEHOLDER SHALL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS

[00:30:03]

STAKEHOLDERS WILL BE CALLED IN THE ORDER IN WHICH EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

TODAY, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS WHO ARE NOT FROM THE FRISCO ISD.

>> THANK YOU. MR. PENANGI AND BOARD, WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER THAT IS A NON-PARENT RESIDENT OF FRISCO ISD, AND SO IF WE CAN HAVE MR. PAUL JASON, COME DOWN.

>> READINGS TO THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT, THE SROS. QUITE A DAY.

I'M FOCUSING ON A PHRASE THAT WAS USED THIS AFTERNOON ON EQUITABLE SUPPORT.

IT IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING AND RESPONSIBILITY THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE RUNNING A DISTRICT THIS LARGE AND EVERY ONCE A WHILE THINGS CAN FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT TERM THAT I HEARD THIS AFTERNOON IN THE MEETING BECAUSE OF THE SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM THAT PRESENTED THEMSELVES HERE, AND WHAT HAPPENED? WE QUALIFIED FOR STATE, BUT THERE WAS NO MONEY FOR IT.

I THOUGHT, WOW, EQUITABLE SUPPORT.

I'M HAPPY FOR THEM BECAUSE THAT MEANS THESE SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT PEOPLE THAT GOT LEFT OUT THIS LAST YEAR ARE GOING TO GET EQUITABLE ATTENTION, JUST LIKE THE TENNIS PEOPLE AND THE OTHER PEOPLE.

AS THEY DO THEIR HARD WORK IN THE SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAMS, THEY TOO WILL NOW BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD AND BRING MORE OF THE GLORY TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM THE SKILLS THAT THEY HAVE.

THEN THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO COMMENT ON WAS THE, WHAT WAS MY OTHER COMMENT? I CAN'T REMEMBER.

I'M JUST HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE THE EQUITABLE THING AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD, I KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

WHEN I DID JUDGING AT SOME OF THOSE SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS THAT WERE HELD HERE IN FRISCO, WHERE ARE THE FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? NOW I'M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THAT I THINK THEY FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD THIS YEAR TO SEEING THE HAPPY FACES OF THESE SPEECH AND DEBATE PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO DO THAT, STAND ON THIS STAGE, AND GIVE GLORY TO THE DISTRICT.

>> THANK YOU. BOARD, WE'RE NOW GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 11B, WHERE WE'LL CONSIDER AN ACT ON APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 INTERNATIONAL AUDIT PLAN.

I'LL LOOK FOR YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION. MR. GROVER.

[10. Communication to and from the Board including public comments]

>> CFC LOCAL REQUIRES THAT AN ANNUAL RISK ASSESSMENT BE CONDUCTED UTILIZING RISK-BASED METHODOLOGY TO IDENTIFY AUDIBLE AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

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

WE'VE DONE THAT WORK AND WE'VE MET WITH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE LAST MONTH TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS ON THAT AND DEVELOP A PROPOSED AUDIT PLAN, THAT IS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL TONIGHT.

I WANT TO SHOW THIS SLIDE HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR HOW WE STARTED OFF AND TO BASICALLY THE RISK ASSESSMENT AUDIT PLAN CYCLE.

WE START OFF WITH REVIEWING AUDIT AREAS OF THE DISTRICT AND REVIEW RISK RATINGS, SOLICIT INPUT FROM IST.

WE PROPOSE A AUDIT PLAN.

THEN LAST MONTH, WE PRESENTED THAT TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

THEY WERE GOOD WITH OUR PROPOSAL, AND WITH THAT, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TO THIS BEING A FULL BOARD APPROVAL.

WE'RE AT THE GOLD DOT, AND THAT'S APPROVED, AND WE'RE OFTEN RUNNING WITH OUR FISCAL YEAR 2025 INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN.

WITH THAT, I GIVE IT TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BOARD, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> I MOVE TO ACT ON APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN.

>> MOTION BY MS. SALAS, SECOND BY MR. PONANGI.

[00:35:03]

BY THE WAY, THANK YOU, MR. GROVER, FOR BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE MAY 13TH REGULAR MEETING.

>> MOTION BY MR. LOWE, SECOND BY MR. HILL.

BOARD, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? IF THERE ARE NONE, I'LL LOOK FOR A VOTE.

MOTION PASSES 7, 0.

BOARD, WE'RE MOVING TO ACTION ITEM 11C.

CONSIDER AN ACT ON THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE OFFICER POSITIONS.

AFTER DELIBERATION, THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION WILL BE NECESSARY PRIOR TO VOTING ON NOMINATIONS FOR PARLIAMENTARIAN ROLE.

WE WILL DO SO DURING OUR AUGUST MEETING AS A RESULT IN THE FURTHER DELIBERATION.

AGAIN, WE WILL ENSURE THAT WE VOTE FOR OUR PARLIAMENTARIAN IN THE AUGUST MEETING.

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL ENTERTAIN NOMINATIONS FOR THE BOARD OFFICER POSITIONS OF PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, AND SECRETARY UNDER BOARD AGENDA ITEM C. I'LL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT.

SECOND BY MR. MADDOX. ALL IN FAVOR? DID YOU VOTE FOR YOURSELF? MOTION PASSES 7,0.

MR. CONGRATULATIONS, MR. HILL.

[APPLAUSE] I THINK I NEED TO GO BACK AND RECONSIDER THE ACTION ITEM 11A BECAUSE THE MOTION ONLY INCLUDED MAY 13TH MINUTES.

I THOUGHT I SAID THE SPECIAL MEETINGS, BUT JUST IN CASE, I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE MAY 13TH REGULAR MEETING, MAY 15TH SPECIAL MEETING, AND MAY 28TH SPECIAL MEETING, LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> PERSON WHO MADE THE MOTION THE FIRST TIME SKIPPED SOME STUFF.

BEFORE WE CONSIDER THIS ACT, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON MRS. SMITH.

>> THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE TWO WORKSHOPS THAT WE HAD TO DEVELOP YOUR BOARD PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

FOR THE COMMUNITIES KNOWLEDGE, THE BOARD HAD A WORKSHOP ON MAY 28TH WHERE WE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS GOING THROUGH COMMUNITY AND STAFF FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE GATHERED OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR, LOOKING AT AREAS WHERE WE HAD OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT.

THEN FROM THAT DISCUSSION, WE'VE PROPOSED THREE PRIORITY STATEMENTS THAT WILL HELP GUIDE THE WORK OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

THEY'RE ON THE SCREEN.

WELL, I GUESS YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN.

THEY ARE DISTRICT STAFF IN THE COMMUNITY UNITE TO CHAMPION FRISCO ISD AS THE PREMIER DESTINATION FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND STAFF.

FRISCO ISD PROMOTES A COMMUNITY-WIDE CULTURE OF RESPECT THAT ENSURES POSITIVE INTERACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS WITHIN THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

FRISCO ISD FOSTERS EXCELLENCE AND STUDENT GROWTH THROUGH DIFFERENTIATED RELEVANT LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND VARIED STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES.

THESE PRIORITIES WILL SERVE AS GUIDING STATEMENTS FOR OUR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR THE '24, '25 SCHOOL YEAR, AND WE WILL REPORT OUT ON THOSE OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
