Jan 20, 2026 Board Workshop

[00:00:02]

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING.

[1. Discussion regarding Budget and Sustainability Plan]

WE HAVE SIX TRUSTEES PRESENT. OVER TO [INAUDIBLE].

>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

TONIGHT, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, THE IDEA HERE IS TO HIT THIS SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THREE TIMES A YEAR.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT BACK IN OCTOBER.

THIS IS OUR MID YEAR CHECK IN AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER CHECK IN TOWARDS THE END OF THE SPRING SEMESTER.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FROM THAT INTO OUR FIRST BUDGET WORKSHOP OF THE YEAR.

I'LL PAUSE IN BETWEEN THE TWO IF YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

BUT AS A REMINDER, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE FALL.

WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER WHAT I'M CALLING A COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THAT IS GOING TO SERVE AS OUR OPERATIONAL ROADMAP TO GUIDE US THROUGH THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING AND EXPECTING TO EXPERIENCE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.

THE IDEA HERE IS TO HELP US IN A VERY SMART AND STRATEGIC WAY, STAIR STEP OURSELVES DOWN THROUGH THIS LOSS OF FUNDING AS ENROLLMENT DECLINES IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS US TO REMAIN SUSTAINABLE AND REMAIN DOING ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING.

THERE ARE FIVE KEY COMPONENTS TO OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

THERE'S A FACILITY PLANNING STRATEGY, AND ACADEMIC AND PROGRAM STRATEGY, FINANCIAL STRATEGY, WORKFORCE STRATEGY.

THEN ENCOMPASSING ALL OF THOSE FOUR IS A COMMUNICATION STRATEGY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BEING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT THIS PROCESS, THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

LIKE I JUST MENTIONED, WE'RE PUTTING THIS INFORMATION ON OUR PUBLIC FACING WEBSITE SO THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN REVIEW IT.

IT'S LIKE A BLOG STYLE ON OUR WEBSITE RIGHT NOW SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH AND SEE THE DIFFERENT TOUCHPOINTS THAT WE HAVE.

THEN AS WE GET DEEPER AND START HAVING TO MAKE SOME MAYBE TOUGHER DECISIONS BASED ON THIS PLAN, WE WILL HAVE A WHOLE COMMUNICATION STRATEGY AROUND THAT.

WE'VE GOT FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE USE TO DEVELOP THIS PLAN.

THESE AREN'T REALLY ANYTHING NEW, BUT IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT.

WE'RE STARTING TO THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE A BUSINESS IN TERMS OF REVENUE GENERATION AND COMPETITION, BUT OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO SERVE STUDENTS FIRST. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

WE'RE KEEPING THAT IN MIND.

LISTEN TO STAKEHOLDERS.

NO IDEA IS A BAD IDEA THAT CAN'T BE AT LEAST LOOKED INTO. INNOVATE AND ADAPT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CHANGING WITH THE TIMES AND DOING IT IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY AND THEN BEING TRANSPARENT AND RESPONSIBLE WITH THE WAY THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING FUNDS TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAIN, WE CAN GET OURSELVES FROM WHERE WE ARE NOW DOWN TO MAYBE 53,000 STUDENTS.

I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A TON OF NEW INFORMATION IN THE FACILITY PROGRAM PIECE, BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO DROP OUT OF YOUR MIND.

WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK THROUGH THE EXACT SAME STUFF THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE FALL.

AS A REMINDER, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A LONG RANGE APPROACH TO OUR FACILITY PLANNING, WE'RE LOOKING AT A FEW THINGS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT BEING EFFICIENT WITH OUR RESOURCES, FILLING UP CAPACITIES AT THE CAMPUSES THAT WE HAVE, MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY FACILITIES AND EXPERIENCES ACROSS THE DISTRICT, AND THEN BEING ABLE TO USE OUR FACILITIES TO SUPPORT THE CHANGING ACADEMIC MODEL, CHANGING PLANS THAT WE HAVE GOING FORWARD.

AS A REMINDER, HERE'S WHAT OUR ENROLLMENT IS CURRENTLY DOING.

YOU CAN SEE WE HAD THE STEEP CLIMB.

WE'VE BEEN DECLINING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 62,755 STUDENTS.

WE ARE EXPECTING TO LOSE ABOUT 1,500 STUDENTS ISH PER YEAR FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS SUSTAINABILITY PLAN IS SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF PLATEAUING IN ENROLLMENT LIKE MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS DID AS THEY WENT THROUGH THEIR GROWTH CYCLE.

A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU'RE MOVING OUT THROUGH THE SUBURBS, YOU'LL SEE A SCHOOL DISTRICT'S ENROLLMENT PEAK STABILIZE FOR A DECADE OR SO AND THEN START TO DECLINE AS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MOVE OUT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT LUXURY.

WE PEAKED AND WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO DROP AND SO THIS PLAN JUST BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT TO WORK US THROUGH THAT EXPECTED DECLINE.

[00:05:01]

FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE ACTUALLY HARDLY GAINED ANY STUDENTS BETWEEN OCTOBER AND JANUARY.

THIS YEAR, WE GAINED ALMOST 200 STUDENTS BETWEEN OCTOBER AND [INAUDIBLE].

WHO KNOWS IF THAT REALLY MEANS ANYTHING? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THE DATA.

BUT I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE BIT HOPEFUL THAT THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE AT LEAST NOT GOING TO BE LOSING STUDENTS FASTER THAN WE'RE NOW CURRENTLY PROJECTING, WHICH IS WHAT'S HAPPENED FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN PROJECTING AN ENROLLMENT DECLINE AND WE'VE COME IN EVEN LOWER THAN THAT.

>> ANY UNDERSTANDINGS, ON THE UNEXPECTED?

>> SOME OF IT'S ACCESS FRISCO, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 82 OF THE 200 ISH STUDENTS THAT WE'VE ADDED ARE COMING FROM OUT OF DISTRICT AND ENROLLED MID YEAR THROUGH ACCESS FRISCO.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A REASON. DO YOU HAVE A REASON? PEOPLE STILL MOVING IN. BUT IT'S SOMETHING TO WATCH.

IT'S A SPREADSHEET THAT SCOTT THREW TOGETHER FOR US AND WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD TO WATCH FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS THAT ENROLLMENT CHANGE BETWEEN FALL AND SPRING.

IT IS GOOD NEWS THAT WE'RE NOT CONTINUING TO DECLINE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

WE DEVELOPED AS PART OF THIS PLAN, CAPACITY OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK.

THE IDEA HERE, IF YOU REMEMBER, IS THAT WE DIVIDED THE DISTRICT INTO SECTORS, AND WE HAVE ELEMENTARY SECTORS, MIDDLE SCHOOL SECTORS, HIGH SCHOOL SECTORS.

IT'S BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND TOTAL POPULATION IN THAT AREA.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE ARE MONITORING CAMPUS UTILIZATION IN EACH OF THOSE SECTORS AS A WHOLE.

WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY SINGLE OUT INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES IN TERMS OF CAPACITY, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK AT REGIONS OF THE DISTRICT TO SEE WHERE SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES ARE MORE UNDER UTILIZED THAN OTHERS.

WE'VE SET THESE TARGETS.

WE SET 80% AT OUR OPTIMAL RANGE, AND THEN LESS THAN 80% IN THE WATCH RANGE.

AS A SECTOR IS IN THE WATCH RANGE, THAT'S WHEN WE START LOOKING AT SOME TARGETED EFFORTS TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN THOSE SECTORS.

IF IT STAYS IN THE WATCH RANGE FOR A FEW YEARS, THAT'S WHEN WE MAY NEED TO START LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY CLOSING A CAMPUS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE.

HERE'S A REFRESHER OF THE MAPS.

THESE HAVE NOT CHANGED REALLY SINCE WE LOOKED AT THEM IN THE FALL.

WE DID GO AHEAD AND UPDATE CURRENT NUMBERS AS OF JANUARY, SO THE PERCENTAGES MAY HAVE CHANGED A TINY BIT.

BUT OVERALL, THESE ARE THE SAME MAPS THAT YOU SAW IN THE FALL.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL SECTORS, YOU CAN SEE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ON WATCH RIGHT NOW IS IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THAT AREA IS STILL DEVELOPING UP NEAR THE FIELDS AREA.

ALL OF THE OTHERS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE OPTIMAL RANGE. MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AGAIN, THE ONLY ONE THAT'S IN THE WATCH IS THE NORTHWEST SIDE.

YOU GUYS MADE THE DECISION EARLIER THIS YEAR TO CLOSE STALEY FOR NEXT YEAR.

ONCE STALEY COMES OFF, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT THREE YEAR PROJECTION THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SQUARE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT UTILIZATION JUMPS ABOVE 80%.

NEXT YEAR, THAT SECTOR 1 WILL BE IN THE OPTIMAL RANGE ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL SECTORS. THEN ELEMENTARY.

SECTOR 4 IS PROJECTED IN THREE YEARS TO GO JUST BELOW 80%, SO IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON.

AGAIN, THAT'S THREE YEARS OUT. WE'LL KEEP UPDATING THESE.

BUT WE'RE PUTTING THE THREE YEAR PROJECTION ON THERE SO THAT WE KNOW WHERE WE MIGHT NEED TO START KEEPING AN EYE ON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

THREE YEARS IS A LOT.

ELEMENTARY, YOU CAN SEE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS SECTOR 7 TITLE. I'LL FIX THAT.

THE ONLY ELEMENTARY SECTOR THAT IS OPTIMAL RIGHT NOW IS SECTOR 7.

THE OTHERS ARE ALL IN THE WATCH RANGE.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY FALL.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS TELLS US IS THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY CLOSELY MONITORING ELEMENTARY ENROLLMENT.

[00:10:06]

WE HAVE COME UP WITH THESE FIVE FACILITY PLANNING TENANTS THAT WE WILL CONSIDER WHEN A SECTOR FALLS IN THAT WATCH RANGE AND EVEN FARTHER DOWN INTO THE WATCH RANGE TO WHERE WE NEED TO START MAKING SOME DECISIONS.

WE WILL LOOK AT ALL KINDS OF THINGS OUTSIDE OF JUST ENROLLMENT BY SCHOOL, INCLUDING POTENTIAL FEEDER PATTERN COHERENCE, THE CAMPUS AGE, POTENTIAL FUTURE MAINTENANCE COSTS, PROXIMITY TO OTHER SCHOOLS, WALKABILITY, ANY PROGRAM CONTINUITY NEEDS.

WE WANT TO TAKE A HOLISTIC VIEW OF THAT PARTICULAR SECTOR THAT WE'RE LOOKING BEFORE WE SINGLE OUT ANY CAMPUSES.

>> WOULD WE ALSO LOOK AT PLACEMENT OF A CAMPUS WITHIN THE DISTRICT BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO BACK AND YOU LOOK AT THE MAP SOME CAMPUSES ARE LITERALLY AT THE EDGE OF THE DISTRICT, SO THEIR ABILITY TO ATTRACT STUDENTS IN THAT GEOGRAPHIC AREA IS LAND LOCKED IN SOME CASES.

IS THAT ONE OF THE OTHER TENANTS THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT OR IS THAT INCLUDED IN PROXIMITY?

>> I THINK IT'S INCLUDED IN PROXIMITY, BUT THAT IS DEFINITELY ITERATION THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.

DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON FACILITY PLANNING? AGAIN, NOTHING NEW, BUT WE JUST DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO FORGET ABOUT IT.

A QUICK CAPITAL PLAN UPDATE.

AGAIN, WE SHOWED YOU THIS BACK IN THE FALL.

THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE REMAINING TO FINANCE OUR CURRENT CAPITAL PLAN.

IF YOU REMEMBER AFTER THE 24 BOND PROGRAM FAILED, WE WENT THROUGH AND TOOK ALL OF THE CASH THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE FROM THE 2018 BOND PROGRAM FROM TIRZ FROM SOME OTHER THINGS, AND WE REPRIORITIZED IT TO HELP GET US THROUGH UNTIL WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER BOND PROGRAM.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, THIS IS INTENDED TO TAKE US THROUGH 2027.

THIS IS JUST THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS REMAINING TO SATISFY THOSE PROJECTS.

IN MAY, WHEN WE COME BACK AND DO YOUR NEXT UPDATE ON THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT TOOK PLACE DURING THE YEAR AND THE PLAN FOR THE SUMMER.

FOR NOW, WE JUST WANT YOU TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE LEFT BEFORE WE'RE GOING TO NEED ANOTHER BOND PROGRAM.

AS A REMINDER, IN THE 2018 BOND PROGRAM, THERE WERE FUNDS SET ASIDE FOR ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ALSO A NEW TRANSPORTATION FACILITY.

WE PAUSED OR CANCELED ESSENTIALLY BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS TO REALLOCATE TOWARDS THIS CAPITAL PLAN.

>> ARE WE ON TASK FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS RIGHT NOW?

>> YES. WE ARE ON TRACK.

AGAIN, THIS THIS PLAN IS INTENDED TO GET US THROUGH 2027.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? GO AHEAD.

>> WE WOULD HAVE MORE PROJECTS ON OUR SUMMER SCOPE THIS SUMMER.

WE DEFINITELY HAVE ABOUT $10 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS THIS SUMMER THAT WE'RE AWARE OF NOW.

BUT I DO WANT TO BE CAREFUL THOUGH THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE STARTED TO REALLY SCALE BACK ON THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT WE COULD BE DOING HAD WE PASSED THE LAST BOND PROGRAM REALLY STARTING NEXT YEAR.

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I'M GLAD YOU THREW THAT IN.

OUR GOAL REALLY IS NOT TO DEFER MAJOR MAINTENANCE ON A BUILDING.

BUT THINGS THAT WE POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE DONE.

ONE EXAMPLE IS WE WERE TALKING THIS MORNING ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY REFRESH.

WE'RE TRYING NOW TO MAKE DEVICES LAST A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THEY WOULD HAVE IF WE WERE ABLE TO PASS THAT TECHNOLOGY BOND IN 2020.

PART OF THE REVISED PLAN IS STRETCHING THINGS AS LONG AS WE CAN WITHOUT DEFERRING MAJOR MAINTENANCE ON BUILDINGS.

>> QUICK, WHAT'S THE MINIMUM? I SEE THAT'S THE REMAINING FUNDS TO 2026.

BUT WHAT'S THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU NEED? WE SAY THROUGH 27, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> I KNOW WE HAVEN'T SET LIKE THIS IS HOW MUCH WE NEED, AND THIS IS HOW MUCH WE HAVE.

[00:15:02]

THAT'S WHAT SCOTT WAS TALKING ABOUT, THAT WE'VE SCALED BACK ON SOME PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE DONE HAD WE PASSED THE BOND PROGRAM.

WE'RE JUST WORKING WITH THE AVAILABLE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE.

THE WAY THAT YOU READ THIS IS ESSENTIALLY, I'LL JUST GO JUMP TO THE BOTTOM.

WE HAVE $4.3 MILLION LEFT FOR PAVING AND LANDSCAPE REPAIRS.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT LAST THROUGH 2027.

>> EXCUSE ME. IT ANSWERS THE QUESTION.

BUT THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON SO SINCE STALEY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, THE 20 MEAL FOR STALEY, WHAT ARE WE PLAN ON DOING WITH IT?

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT DECIDED WHAT TO DO WITH THAT BUILDING, WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS SCHOOL YEAR, AND THEN A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT BUILDING AFTER WE COMPLETE THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

THEN ONCE THAT DETERMINATION IS MADE, THEN WE CAN COME BACK TO THIS MONEY THAT'S BEEN EARMARKED AND REALLOCATE IT AS NEEDED.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO REALLOCATE MONEY PREMATURELY BEFORE A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT BUILDING LONG TERM.

>> ANY OTHER CATEGORIES OUTSIDE OF THESE CAPITAL PLAN REASON BECAUSE OF THE SIZE, THE UNKNOWN, I THINK IS EVERYTHING.

>> THIS IS ALL OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

THERE ARE MINOR PROJECTS THAT ROLL UP INTO THESE LINE ITEMS, YES.

BUT THIS IS EVERYTHING.

>> I THINK, A GOOD POINT THERE THOUGH, IS WHILE THIS IS OUR PLAN, WE JUST HAD A PROJECT THAT IS COMPLETING AT STAFFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THAT WAS A THREE MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT WAS NOT PART OF THIS PLAN.

SO WHILE WE HAVE THIS MONEY EARMARKED, WE HAD TO TAKE THAT THREE MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT, AND IT'S COMING OUT OF OUR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE FUND HERE.

SO WHILE WE SAY WE HAVE 15.2, THERE COULD BE SOMETHING THAT OCCURS IN THE NEXT 12-18 MONTHS THAT IS A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT STARTS TO EAT INTO THAT THAT WE WEREN'T PLANNING.

>> I WANT TO ASK THE OBVIOUS QUESTION, WHY WEREN'T WE PLANNING FOR IT?

>> ACTUALLY, [NOISE] IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH STAFFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND YOU GO TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND TRACK? THERE'S ABOUT A 25, 30 FOOT SLOPE THAT GOES DOWN INTO A RETENTION POND? WELL, THAT ENTIRE SLOPE STARTED TO FAIL.

THE REALITY IS WE HAD TO GO IN AND PUT IN A MAJOR WALL SYSTEM TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING, HAD WE NOT THE ENTIRE NORTH SIDE OF THAT TRACK AND FOOTBALL FIELD WOULD HAVE STARTED TO FALL INTO THAT RAVINE WE HAD PLANNED.

>> THANK YOU. THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE CAPITAL PLAN? THAT'S OUR FACILITY PLANNING STRATEGY.

JUST A QUICK REMINDER ON OUR ACADEMIC STRATEGY.

THERE'S NOTHING REALLY TO UPDATE HERE OTHER THAN JUST REMINDING YOU WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

WE ARE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE FOR ACCESS FRISCO EXPANSION.

YOU GUYS GOT AN UPDATE ON THAT BACK IN THE FALL.

TUITION BASED PR-K, THAT'S BEEN OPENED UP FOR AVAILABLE SPACE.

FRISCO FLEX THAT'S OUR VIRTUAL AND HYBRID PROGRAM.

THAT'S BEEN OPENED UP STATEWIDE, I THINK, APPLICATIONS OPENED THIS WEEK.

AND THEN SUMMER CAMP.

WE ARE WORKING ON PLANS FOR A SUMMER CAMP OPTION FOR OUR ELEMENTARY AGE STUDENT OR THIS SUMMER.

MORE INFORMATION ON THOSE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN HOME BASE AS THINGS KIND OF FIRM UP AND AS WE GET NUMBERS.

BUT THAT'S JUST MINDER OF WHAT'S IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW.

>> SUMMER CAMP, IS IT TOO MINE BENDER OR IS IT.

>> IT'S IN ADDITION TOO. YES.

>> THANK YOU.

>> DOES ANYBODY WANT TO EXPAND ON SUMMER CAMP OR DO WE JUST WANT TO HAVE EXPANSION ON SUMMER CAMP? [LAUGHTER] NO.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE FALL A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A WEEK LONG CAMPS FOR THE DURATION OF THE SUMMER FOR ELEMENTARY AGE STUDENTS.

DID I SAY THAT CORRECTLY? KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PHASE WHERE WE'RE DEVELOPING THOSE PROGRAMS AND WE WILL HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR YOU WHEN IT'S READY.

>> SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER DISTRICTS.

YOU'LL HEAR ME? THERE WE GO.

[00:20:02]

THE WAY THAT WE HAVE CAUGHT ABOUT. THERE WE GO.

THIS IS TEACHER-DRIVEN.

IF A TEACHER HAS AN IDEA THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT FOR A SUMMER CAMP THEY HAVE A PATHWAY TO SUBMIT THOSE PROPOSALS TO US.

THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY WHILE THE DISTRICT IS PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, IT IS NOT NECESSARILY DISTRICT DRIVEN.

IT IS BASED OFF OF A TEACHER'S INTEREST.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND US THAT OFFER SUMMER CAMPS IS WE ASKED AND INCLUDED OUR SPED TEACHERS AS WELL SO THAT THERE IS A PATH FOR OUR STUDENTS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THESE CAMPS.

THE GOAL IS TO GO LIVE PUBLICLY WITH OUR CAMPS BEFORE SPRING BREAK.

WE'LL HAVE NUMBERS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE TO YOU GUYS AS FAR AS HOW MANY CAMPS END UP GOING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE PROCESS BY MID.

>> SO THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE CAMP, DIFFERENT.

AND I'M NOT SURE A ANSWER THE QUESTION AT THE TIME, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL ON THE STAR EXAM.

DO THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP SOME OF THOSE HOURS THAT THEY HAVE PER TEST? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SEPARATE.

>> THAT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETELY SEPARATE.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE SEPARATE OF ESY AND SUMMER SCHOOL.

THIS IS TOTALLY OPTIONAL.

PARENTS WILL SIGN UP FOR IT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY'LL PAY FOR, THAT TYPE OF THING.

>> ON THE SUMMER CAMP, I DON'T KNOW IT'S STILL EARLY.

BUT IF IT'S TEACHERS-DRIVEN, THEIR INTENTION MORE THAN ONE IN ORIGINAL OR IS THERE ANY AT THIS POINT?

>> SO IT IS COMPLETELY BASED OFF OF THEIR INTEREST.

SO WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF TEACHERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT HAVE SOMEBODY CAMP.

IT'S CURRENTLY GONE THROUGH TWO PHASES.

SO FIRST WAS THE INITIAL PHASE THAT WE PUT OUT AND SAID, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WORKING A CAMP, OR ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEADING? WE HAD OVER 101ST SUBMISSIONS FOR LEADING A CAMP.

NOW, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL 130 OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO LEAD A CAMP AND HERE'S MY IDEA FOR MY PROPOSAL ARE GOING TO EVEN GO INTO THE SECOND PHASE.

WE'VE SENT OUT A FORM FOR THEM.

THEY'VE GOT TO GIVE US DETAIL AS TO WHAT THEIR CAMP TRULY ENTAILS, INCLUDING WHAT SUPPLIES THEY NEED SO THAT APPLY COSTS.

FIRST FED CAMPS AND ADDITIONAL CAMP HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE NEED TO HAVE IN THAT CLASSROOM? IT IS PURELY TEACHER-DRIVEN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT'S SOMETHING THEY WANT TO DO DURING THEIR SUMMER SINCE TECH THEY ARE OFF CONTRACT.

IT'S GOING TO BE AT ONE LOCATION.

HOPEFULLY CENTRALLY AMANDA CAMPBELL IS PART OF MY COMMITTEE, HELPING LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THE CAMPS.

SO WE'VE GOT A REALLY COOL CAMP THAT WILL POTENTIALLY PUT US OVER INTO A MIDDLE SCHOOL INSTEAD OF BEING IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. VERY COOL.

IT'LL BE DEPENDENT ON THE SPACE THAT WE NEED AND THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS FOR PARENTS TOO.

WE'RE ALSO HOPING TO PROVIDE EXTENDED DAYCARE AS WELL.

WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY PARENT-FRIENDLY, FAMILY-FRIENDLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

SO GO TO WORK.

AS A PARENT MYSELF, DROPPING OFF A KID AT 9:00 AM IS NOT EXACTLY GREAT.

SO IF YOU CAN HAVE A 7:30 DROP OFF AND THEN A LATE PICK UP LASTING ABOUT TILL SIX AND HAVE STAFF WHO SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO HELP PORT US WITH THOSE.

THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GIVE YOUR FAMILY.

>> RIGHT NOW, I THINK WE WERE PLANNING ONLY THE ELEMENTARY.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS THAT UP TO SIXTH GRADE OR SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THE PLAN?

>> I'M SORRY.

>> WHAT'S THE PLAN. IT'S ONLY FOR ELEMENTARY KIDS OR SUMMER CAMP.

>> THEY CAN. SOME INDIVIDUALS ARE SUBMITTING THROUGH SIXTH GRADE AND THAT IS FINE.

WE ALSO PUT IN THE INITIAL APPLICATION HIGH SCHOOL STUDY SKILLS PROGRAMS TO SEE IF ANYONE OR LIKE

[00:25:01]

WE HAVE HAD INTEREST IN THE INITIAL INPUT FORM, BUT THEY HAVE NOT COME THROUGH ON THE SECONDARY.

>> THE REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION IS, SUMMER CAMPS ARE MORE POPULAR FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, AND THE HIGH SCHOOLERS, I KNOW, NOT THE ACADEMIC-WISE, BUT SOMETHING IN THE CODING CAMPS ARE MAYBE SCIENCE PROGRAMS. SO THEY ALWAYS LOOK AT LEAST SIXTH GRADE END UP.

SO NOT UNDER, ESPECIALLY THOSE CAMPS.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHETHER WE ARE PLANNING ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

>> SO AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL TEACHER-DRIVEN.

SO IN THE INITIAL FORM AND IN THE SECONDARY FORM, THE TEACHER WHO IS SUBMITTING THE POZAL STATES WHICH GRADE LEVELS THE CAMP WOULD BE BEST SUITED FOR.

>> YOU WERE SAYING LIKE IT'S NOT JUST THE ELEMENTARY AGAIN?

>> IT IS SIXTH GRADE. YOU ARE CORRECT.

>> OKAY.

>> IT'S K6.

>> RISING SIXTH GRADERS OR RISING SEVENTH GRADERS.

>> RISING SIX GRADERS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> BUT IS THE EXPECTATION THAT COST OF THE CAMP WOULD COVER ALL EXPENSES AND COVER ALL THE ADMIN IS GOING TO HELP PUT IT ON.

>> YES. KIM'S TEAM HAS DEVELOPED A MODEL FOR US TO UTILIZE IN TERMS OF WHAT THE COST PER PER CHILD FOR EACH CAMP WOULD BE.

THAT WAY THAT ALL EXPENSES ARE PAID, STAFF SUPPLIES, FACILITY AGE, ALL OF THE THINGS.

THAT WAY, IT WILL VARY.

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT SUMMER CAMPS, WHAT YOU ACTUALLY MAKE OFF A SUMMER CAMPS IS VERY, VERY MINIMAL.

THE HOPE IS TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT.

THAT'S THE GOAL, BUT ALSO PROVIDE CURRICULAR FUN OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

>> I THINK IT COULD ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN UP FRISCO IST FOLKS WHO MAYBE ARE NOT PART OF FRISCO IST ALREADY.

I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER WAY TO MARKET.

I'M SURE WE COULD FLAG THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY ENROLLED.

>> CHERYL'S TEAM HAS HELPED US.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FLAG THEM, UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE IT'S OPEN, WE CAN'T REQUIRE A STUDENT ID THAT WOULD BE A WHOLE OTHER LAYER.

BUT IF THEY GIVE US SOME INTEREST, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND THAT, BUT IT IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

>> RETENTION PIECE-DRIVEN, PART OF THE INTEREST IS TO [INAUDIBLE] YEAR ROUND, MAYBE.

IS THERE A PIECE OF THAT.

>> IT WAS NOT A PART OF WHAT WAS INITIALLY PLANNING, BUT HR MIGHT HAVE SOME THOUGHT PROCESSES AROUND THAT.

[LAUGHTER]

>> SOMETHING I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH [INAUDIBLE] LATER. I JUST WAS CURIOUS.

IT SOUNDED TO ME LIKE IT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING THAT TEACHERS WERE INTERESTED IN SUMMER.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS IS I WAS IDEA AROUND WITH IST LAST YEAR IS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT THAT ARE LOOKING FOR SUMMER EMPLOYMENT TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PARENTS THAT I'M WATCHING SOCIAL MEDIA THAT SAY, WHERE ARE COST FRIENDLY SUMMER CAMPS THAT WE CAN SEND OUR KIDS TO.

WE'RE HOPING THAT WITH THIS NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER, WE'RE ABLE TO HELP TEACHERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR SECOND JOBS DURING THE LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY AND PARENTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE SUMMER CAMP OPTIONS FOR THE CAMP.

>> I THINK IT'S PERFECT. THAT'S THE POINT I WAS [INAUDIBLE].

>> WHAT'S YOUR PROGRAM FIGURE INTO THIS?

>> ONE OF THE STAGES THAT WE ARE NOT IN YET SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAMPUS, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION IS THAT TYPE OF PLANNING.

WE'LL BRING IN JOHN BODIE AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO NEEDS TO BE A PART OF THAT.

THANKFULLY, WE HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION ALREADY GATHERED.

BUT AS FAR AS THE MARSHALL PROGRAM, I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, HAVE THEM AT CAMP,

[00:30:01]

SOMETHING WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO.

>> OKAY.

>> I DIDN'T MEAN FOR US TO GET OFF ON SUMMER CAMP, BUT THAT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION.

THANKS, MANDY. [LAUGHTER]

>> THE NEXT COMPONENT OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN IS FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY.

I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO ROLL INTO OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP HERE IN A MINUTE.

JUST AS A REMINDER, OUR GOAL WITH FINANCIALS IS TO ALIGN OUR RESOURCES TO MATCH DECLINING ENROLLMENT, BE AS EFFICIENT AS WE CAN WITH OUR SPENDING, AND THEN DIVERSIFY OUR REVENUE AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN OUTSIDE OF THE STATE FUNDING FORMULA, AND YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A LITTLE BIT THAT THAT IS A LOT EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO DIVERSIFY REVENUE, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME OPTIONS THAT WE'LL GO OVER WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

THE NEXT PIECE IS TALENT AND WORKFORCE STRATEGY.

WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON THIS ONE.

IN OCTOBER, WHEN WE WENT OVER THIS, WE GAVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF RETENTION INFORMATION THAT PAMS TEAM PUT TOGETHER OVER THE SUMMER.

IN THIS JANUARY UPDATE, OUR GOAL EVERY JANUARY IS TO GIVE YOU SOME STATEWIDE AND REGIONAL BENCHMARK DATA THAT COMES THROUGH THE TAPER IN TERMS OF TEACHER TURNOVER.

IN THE FALL, WE FOCUSED MORE ON JUST GENERAL ATTRITION FOR ALL TYPES OF EMPLOYEES, AND THEN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES ARE GOING TO FOCUS MORE ON THE TEACHER PIECE AS IT RELATES TO BENCHMARKS ACROSS THE STATE. TURN IT OVER, PAM.

>> LIKE THAT. I HEAR SELF. THAT'S WEIRD.

BUT IN THE FALL, I PROVIDED YOU WITH SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR HIRES, AS WELL AS RIGHT BEFORE THE BREAK, SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR ATTRITIONS MENTIONED TO YOU THAT THE GOAL IS TO TRANS START TO MOVE TO LOOKING AT TEACHER TURNOVER BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE STATE COLLECTS THAT EVERY YEAR FOR EVERY DISTRICT.

IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR US TO HAVE SOME COMPARISONS.

IT PROVIDES US WITH SOME CONTEXT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MARKET AS WE LOOK AT STATE DATA.

IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO LOOK AT OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY CONSISTENT.

WHEN THE STATE IS CALCULATING TURNOVER FOR TEACHERS, THEY'RE LOOKING AT PIM SNAPSHOT DATE OF ONE YEAR TO PIM SNAPSHOT DATE OF ANOTHER YEAR.

THEY SIMPLY LOOK AT WHO'S IN THE CLASSROOM, WHO IS IN THE CLASSROOM, FROM ONE FALL, WHO'S IN THE CLASSROOM, THE NEXT FALL.

KNOW THAT IN THESE NUMBERS, THAT TURNOVER ALSO INCLUDES THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER IN THE CLASSROOM, BUT WHO MAY STILL BE WITH OUR DISTRICT.

A TEACHER WHO BECOMES AN INSTRUCTIONAL COACH OR WHO BECOMES AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARE CONSIDERED TURNOVER BECAUSE THE STATE IS LOOKING AT CLASSROOM TEACHERS.

TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME INFORMATION, OUR GOAL IS TO BE IN THE LOWEST QUARTILE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DISTRICTS AGAINST WHOM WE BENCHMARK.

THERE ARE ABOUT 20 OF US, WHICH OUT PRETTY CLEANLY.

THERE ARE ABOUT 20 OF US.

AS YOU CAN SEE, BOTH IN 24 AND 25, WE ARE STILL IN THAT LOWEST QUARTILE.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE COMPARISON TO THE REGION, TO THE STATE, THE AVERAGE FOR ALL OF OUR 19 OTHER PEERS, AND THEN YOU SEE OURS.

A POINT OF CELEBRATION IS THE FACT THAT OUR TURNOVER RATE DECREASED BY 1%.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THAT IS SIGNIFICANT IS, AS YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE GETTING SMALLER, WE HAVE FEWER TEACHERS.

THAT MEANS THAT DENOMINATOR IS GETTING SMALLER.

EVEN IF WE LOST THE SAME NUMBER OF TEACHERS AS WE DID THE PREVIOUS YEAR, OUR TURNOVER RATE IS GOING TO BE HIGHER BECAUSE THE DENOMINATOR IS SMALLER.

AS WE START TO LOSE POSITIONS, AND WE DON'T WANT TO SAY LOSE OUR TEACHERS BECAUSE WE HOPE THAT WE CAN KEEP ALL OF OUR GREAT TEACHERS THROUGH ATTRITION.

[00:35:02]

OF COURSE, OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO KEEP AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, BUT JUST KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY SEE.

>> BASED ON THE THING THAT THE FIRST THING YOU SHARED WITH THE TURNOVER AS IT RELATES TO THE STATE AND HOW HOW THEY CALCULATED, DO WE HAVE A MECHANISM WITHIN ISD THAT CAN SHARE GROUP TURNOVER RATING? FEATURES THAT HAVE LEFT VERSUS THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN.

>> GREAT QUESTION. THAT'S THE INFORMATION I'LL SHARE WITH YOU WHEN I SHARE THE ATTRITION RATE.

I WILL TELL YOU WE HAVE A MECHANISM FOR CALCULATING IT.

IT IS QUITE COMPLICATED FOR US JUST WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT TOTAL NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT CLASSROOM TEACHERS.

WHAT THE STATE DOES, LET'S SAY IF YOU'VE GOT A SECONDARY IC WHO TEACHES PART TIME IN THE CLASSROOM AND PART TIME, THEY'RE WORKING WITH OTHER TEACHERS.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT THOSE FRACTIONS OF PEOPLE.

THEIR CALCULATION IS DEFINITELY VERY DIFFERENT.

BUT THAT'S WHY I ALSO PROVIDE FOR YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE'RE LOSING IN GENERAL AS OPPOSED TO THE WAY THE STATE CALCULATES IT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE LOOK, ONE OF OUR CELEBRATIONS, AND THIS IS NOT WITH TEACHERS, BUT ONE OF OUR CELEBRATIONS IS THAT THIS YEAR, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PRINCIPALS WE HIRED THIS YEAR? OR HOW MANY NEW PRINCIPLES WE HAVE OUT OF 77? TWO.

THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF SUPPORT FROM A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I DID NOT FORGET TO SHOUT OUT OUR MDS OF SCHOOLS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT PART OF IT IS THAT ON THE GROUND SUPPORT, AND I DON'T KNOW ANY DISTRICT THAT OUT OF 77 PRINCIPALS REPLACED TWO.

ONE WAS INTERNAL.

ONE HAD BEEN WITH US BEFORE.

YOU'LL ALSO SEE HERE, AS I MENTIONED, OUR TEACHER TURNOVER RATE DECREASED BY 1%,.

AGAIN, SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE OUR DENOMINATOR GOT SMALLER, AND THAT MEANS THAT OUR FOLKS ARE STILL STAYING WITH US, AND THAT'S A GREAT THING.

THE SECOND ONE, YOU SEE FALLS BELOW THE STATE REGION AND OUR BENCHMARK DISTRICTS AND THAT LOWER QUARTILE.

OUR FORECAST, AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE LEARNED FROM OUR FOLKS THROUGH RESIGNATION SURVEYS, THROUGH THE INSIDE SURVEYS THAT WE GIVE EACH YEAR, JUST IN TALKING WITH PEOPLE AS THEY LEAVE, OF THOSE WHO RESIGNED, 93% WOULD RECOMMEND FISD AS A PLACE TO WORK.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY ORGANIZATION WHERE WHEN PEOPLE ARE LEAVING, OVER NINE OUT OF 10 OF THEM WOULD STILL RECOMMEND IT AS A PLACE TO WORK.

WE HAD NINE NEW SCHOOLS THAT OPENED IN THE AREA.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT COMPETITION FOR TALENT, AND WE HAVE WONDERFUL STAFF, AND THEY ARE IN HIGH DEMAND.

THERE WERE NINE CAMPUSES THAT OPENED IN OUR AREA LAST YEAR, 70% OF OUR PROFESSIONALS WHO LEFT DID SO FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT OR CLOSER TO HOME, WHICH WE SEE QUITE A BIT.

WE DID, OF COURSE, SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME FOCUS AREAS.

WE LOOKED AT STAFF THAT WE LOST AND WE LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS AROUND US AND WHY PEOPLE LEFT AND WHAT WAS GOING ON.

ONE, WE NOTICED IN AREAS LIKE SPECIAL ED, THERE WERE SEVERAL DISTRICTS WHO ADDED INCENTIVES.

NOW I WILL NOT STAND HERE AND BE A COMMERCIAL FOR THOSE OTHER DISTRICTS.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL, BUT THERE WERE THINGS THAT THEY DID THAT WE AT THIS TIME WEREN'T ABLE TO DO.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WHAT ARE SOME WAYS THAT WE CAN BE MORE COMPETITIVE AND PERHAPS LOOK AT GRANT FUNDS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO THAT WE CAN BE COMPETITIVE IN THAT AREA.

SECOND, CONTINUING TO BENCHMARK OUR BENEFITS AND PROACTIVELY COMMUNICATING THOSE THAT ARE UNDER UTILIZED.

WE'VE TRIED WITHIN THE LAST THREE TO FOUR YEARS TO HAVE BENEFITS FAIRS, BECAUSE OFTEN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM JUST FOR BEING EMPLOYEES IN THE DISTRICT, SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT THINGS FOR WHICH THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY.

>> I HAVE QUESTIONS.

>> OKAY.

>> FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS SAYING TO THE PUBLIC AND US HOW THIS INFORMATION INCLUDES THOSE WHO LEAVE AND GO TO OTHER POSITIONS.

BECAUSE AS MUCH AS I FOLLOWED THE DISTRICT FOR SO MANY YEARS, I DIDN'T LEARN THAT UNTIL VERY LATE WHEN I WAS VOLUNTEERING FOR FISCO WOMEN'S LEAGUE AND I WAS AN EVENT AND I SAW ONE OF MY OWN DAUGHTERS TEACHERS COMING TO NEW TEACHER HI HER.

I'M LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? THAT'S WHEN I LEARNED THAT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. WHAT I WANT TO ASK IS,

[00:40:03]

>> THANK YOU.

>> ON THE 93%, IS THAT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE RESIGNING OR THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY RESPONDED TO WHATEVER YOU WERE ASKING?

>> THOSE WOULD BE OF THOSE WHO RESPONDED, BUT JUST KNOW ANYTIME SOMEONE RESIGNS, THERE IS A RESIGNATION QUESTIONNAIRE SO EVERYBODY GETS IT.

>> OKAY.

>> EVERYBODY GETS IT. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD RETURN RATE BECAUSE EVERYBODY GETS IT.

>> THEN I FORGOT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE NINE SCHOOLS.

I DON'T REMEMBER. HOPEFULLY IT'LL COME BACK TO ME. THANKS.

>> WHEN IT DOES, LET ME KNOW.

>> PAM?

>> YES. BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER SLIDE? LET'S GO AHEAD AND FINISH THIS FIRST? THAT ONE.

FIRST OF ALL. THIS IS GOOD.

THE 1% AGREE THAT'S SIGNIFICANT, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

I TOO LIKE SHERRI, I STRUGGLE WITH THE FACT THAT WE COUNT PEOPLE WHO GO TO DIFFERENT POSITIONS AS TURNOVER BECAUSE IN MY WORLD, THAT'S CALLED SOMETHING ELSE.

IT'S TRACKED SEPARATELY, AND IT'S MEASURED SEPARATELY.

MY QUESTION IS THIS IF YOU HAD TO GUESS OR DO WE TRACK, BY THE WAY, DO WE TRACK PEOPLE WHO MOVED TO ANOTHER POSITION? COULD WE FIGURE THAT OUT?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO NOT JUST LET THE BOARD KNOW, BUT ALSO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW BECAUSE I'M NOT SAYING GO AHEAD AND CALCULATE ALL THE NUMBERS.

BUT IF WE KNEW THAT 500 TEACHERS ARE WHO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE TURNOVER, BUT 120 OF THEM WE'RE NOT TECHNICALLY, IT'S TURNOVER IN THE WAY THAT IT'S DEFINED HERE, BUT THEY ACTUALLY ARE STILL WITH THE DISTRICT, I THINK THAT CONTEXT IS USEFUL AND HELPFUL.

NOT JUST FOR THE BOARD, BUT ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND ALSO FOR THE STAFF, QUITE FRANKLY, SO THEY CAN SEE THAT.

IT DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT THEY DO IT THIS WAY, BUT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT.

I THINK THAT ADDITIONAL CONTEXT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND IMPORTANT BECAUSE I THINK IT HELPS FRAME WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. GREAT POINT.

YOU GUYS MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT IN THE FALL WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT OUR NEW HIRES, WE TALK ABOUT GROWING OUR OWN AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENT TEACHERS WHO BECOME TEACHERS, TEACHERS WHO BECOME PRINCIPALS.

THAT'S INFORMATION THAT I GIVE TO YOU IN THE FALL, BUT I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT.

I SO APPRECIATE YOUR GRATITUDE AND FOR RECOGNIZING THE HARD WORK, BUT IT TOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WHEN I SAY OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR TEACHERS WHO SUPPORT TEACHERS, OUR CUSTODIANS, IT TOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET THERE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT RECOGNITION.

THEN THE VERY LAST THING THAT IS GOING TO BE SO IMPORTANT FOR US.

WE KNOW THAT DURING TIMES WHEN WE'RE GETTING READY TO RETURN THIS, WE'LL HAVE NEW LEADERSHIP.

WE KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DECLINING ENROLLMENT.

IT IS GOING TO BE SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMIND PEOPLE OF HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE IN FRISCO ISD.

IT STILL IS REALLY GREAT TO BE HERE, BECAUSE IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY, PEOPLE START TO SOMETIMES GET ANTSY, SO WE'LL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROACTIVELY COMMUNICATING THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT OUR DISTRICT AND THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON BECAUSE IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC PLACE TO BE. THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKFORCE PLANNING.

JUST AS A REMINDER, OUR GOAL IS TO REPORT THIS TO YOU GUYS AND AN UPDATE TO YOU GUYS THREE TIMES A YEAR. WE DID THE FALL ONE.

THE FALL ONE WILL BE THE BIG UPDATE, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES.

WE'LL FOCUS A LOT MORE ON OUR FACILITIES PLAN IN THE FALL.

JANUARY IS JUST A PROGRESS MONITORING UPDATE SO WE CAN NOT LOSE TRACK OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.

THEN IN APRIL, WE'RE GOING TO I TALKED ABOUT GIVING YOU THE UPDATE OF THE CAPITAL PLAN, WHAT WE'VE SPENT, THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO IN THE SUMMER, AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT ALIGNING THIS WITH THE BUDGET SO THE FINANCIAL PLAN, THAT THREE YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN THAT WE DO, WHAT'S NEXT? THAT'S THE PLAN. THAT NEXT WORKSHOP WILL BE IN APRIL OR MAY, JUST DEPENDING ON TIMING.

>> WILL THE SPRING MEETING BE DONE IN A WAY THAT WE CAN INCLUDE THE RESULTS FROM OUR ANNUAL SURVEY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TIE IN THE RESULTS NOT ONLY FROM STAFF AND TEACHER FEEDBACK, BUT ALSO PARENT FEEDBACK AND STUDENT

[00:45:02]

>> YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S A GOOD POINT. WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP THAT WE WILL HAVE IN THE SPRING WHEN WE START TO TALK ABOUT GOALS FOR NEXT YEAR, WE'LL GO OVER THAT IN DEPTH.

BUT PERHAPS WE CAN EITHER COMBINE THOSE TWO OR DO THEM REALLY CLOSE TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN REFERENCE SOME OF THOSE BECAUSE THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

WE'LL KEEP THAT MINE ONE WEEK SCHEDULE.

THAT IS THE UPDATE ON THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.

ANY LAST QUESTIONS ON THAT BEFORE WE MOVE TO BUDGET?

>> I DO. I HAVE ONE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE RISK [INAUDIBLE] I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE RECEIVED A LIST OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED.

I KNOW WE HAD THAT AT THE VERY TOP OF THIS.

YOU GAVE US HOW MUCH WE HAVE REMAINING, WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS YOU CAN WORK ON WITH THAT AMOUNT.

POSSIBLE BEFORE WE MEET AGAIN THAT WE RECEIVE A LIST, LIKE A HIERARCHY.

THIS IS GOING TO FALL APART IF WE DON'T FIX IT.

THIS WILL BE GOOD UNTIL 2027.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?

>> DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT YOU WANT. I MEAN, YES.

>> LET ME GO BACK TO THIS. DON'T GET ME WRONG.

I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE ABLE, THAT WE DO HAVE SOME FUNDING TO FIX SOME OF THE THINGS AND MAKE THE UPDATES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE BUT FOR ME, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANY ONE OF SEVEN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD HELP ME TO ADVOCATE AND HELP THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY POTENTIALLY NEED A BOND BEFORE WE ACTUALLY NEED.

>> YES, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. HERE'S WHAT I CAN SAY.

SCOTT AND I CAN PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND WORK ON SOME A SPREADSHEET FOR YOU THAT IS NOT QUITE AS GRANULAR AS THE SPREADSHEET OUR FACILITIES PEOPLE USE, BUT ALSO MAYBE A LITTLE MORE GRANULAR THAN THIS.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND LINE, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT CYCLES FOR BUILDINGS, THAT'S EVERY PIECE OF HVAC EQUIPMENT FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF BUILDING.

THERE'S A WHOLE GRANULAR LIST OF PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPAIRED REPLACED. YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

I GET THAT. WE'LL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND SEE IF WE CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE DETAIL THAN THIS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT ROLLS UP.

>> THANK YOU. I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, DONETT.

BASICALLY, BECAUSE THAT BOND DIDN'T PASS, THERE'S SOME PAIN IN YOUR INITIATIVE ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED WITH OUR ASSETS AND THINGS.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE MAYBE THE COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE RECEPTIVE.

I'M JUST SPEAKING CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, DONNET, I MAYBE THEY SAW THE BIGGER PICTURE VERSUS WHAT ALL ALREADY KNOW WHICH IS REAL.

>> WOULD IT BE HELPFUL?

>> AM I RIGHT?

>> WOULD IT BE HELPFUL IF WE KEEP A RUNNING LIST OF SCOTT TALKED ABOUT HOW WE HAVE MAYBE CHANGED THE SCOPE OF SOME PROJECTS OR HELD OFF ON SOME PROJECTS, IF WE KEPT A RUNNING LIST OF THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT WE HAD PLANNED, THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE OR THAT WE'VE CHANGED WE'VE NARROWED THE SCOPE ON TO GET US THROUGH. WOULD THAT HELP?

>> I'M OFF THE MIND BECAUSE WE KNOW HERE AT THIS TABLE WHAT IT'S TAKING FOR US TO SCRAPE TOGETHER TO GET THINGS DONE.

BUT I THINK BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING THINGS DONE, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE'RE HAVING TO PULL RESOURCES TOGETHER.

HOW MANY ROOFS NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED?

>> THE GOOD NEWS THERE IS ZERO [LAUGHTER]

>> I MEAN THAT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE, BUT I MEAN, WHAT WE.

>> THANKS TO OUR MAJOR HAILSTORM THAT WE HAD BACK IN 2022, WHERE WE'VE REPLACED JUST ABOUT EVERY ROOF FROM THAT.

BUT YES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING SO WE'LL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND PUT SOMETHING MORE DETAILED TOGETHER FOR YOU.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY WE DEFINITELY CAN DO THIS AND NEED TO DO THIS FOR YOU ALL. LIKE A GREAT EXAMPLE.

RENEE AND I WENT TO BRIGHT THE OTHER DAY AND THE CAFETERIA FLOORS LOOK HORRIBLE.

THEY'RE GETTING REPLACED THIS SUMMER.

THEN WE WENT TO SPARKS AND THE CAFETERIA FLOORS LOOK ALMOST HORRIBLE.

THEY'RE NOT GETTING REPLACED THIS SUMMER.

IF YOU WERE AT SPARKS, YOU WOULD THINK, MY CAFETERIA FLOORS NEED TO BE REPLACED THIS SUMMER.

UNLESS YOU WENT TO BRIGHT, AND THEN YOU WOULD SAY, OH, NOW I SEE WHY BRIGHTS NEED TO BE AHEAD OF MINE.

BUT WE CAN PRODUCE SOMETHING I THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR YOU GUYS.

>> TO THAT POINT, JUST MENTIONED THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE THIS.

[00:50:01]

>> WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THAT IN.

>> IT SOUNDS SOMETHING SHOULD ALREADY BE OUT THERE IF YOU ALREADY KNOW.

>> WE JUST PLAN TO GO OVER IT WITH YOU GUYS.

WE COULD PUT IT IN HOME BATES AHEAD OF TIME, BUT WE PLAN TO GO OVER IT WITH YOU GUYS THEN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OR COMMENTS FOR ME? LET'S JUMP INTO THE BUDGET.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS IN THREE DIFFERENT PARTS.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.

BEFORE I GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS THESE PROJECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'RE IN, THEY CHANGE ALMOST DAILY, DEPENDING ON THE DATA THAT WE PUT IN AND THE PROJECTIONS THAT WE DO.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY AND WHERE WE'RE EXPECTING TO END THE YEAR AND WALK YOU THROUGH THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE SINCE THE BUDGET WAS ADOPTED.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO TALKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE REVENUE THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO APPROPRIATE, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR STARTING POINT, AND THEN SOME PRELIMINARY CHANGES THAT WE'RE MAKING TO STAFFING AS A RESULT OF ENROLLMENT DECLINE.

THEN WE WILL TALK ABOUT SOME REVENUE OPTIONS.

THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS TODAY'S BUDGET WORKSHOP IS GOING TO BE ON A DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL ABOUT REVENUE GENERATING OPTIONS.

WHEN WE COME BACK AT THE NEXT BUDGET WORKSHOP, WE'LL DIVE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL BUDGET CUTS, BEYOND JUST THE TEACHING ALLOCATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER TONIGHT.

LET'S FIRST START WITH THIS YEAR'S BUDGET AND HOW WE'RE TRENDING FOR THIS YEAR.

REALLY FOCUS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

THAT'S YOUR HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF WHAT'S HAPPENED.

WE STARTED OUT THE YEAR.

YOU GUYS ADOPTED A $9 MILLION SURPLUS BUDGET.

SINCE THEN, ENROLLMENT DECLINED BY MORE THAN WE EXPECTED IT TO.

WE ACTUALLY BUDGETED FOR 1,400 STUDENTS MORE THAN WE ACTUALLY GOT.

THAT TOOK $12.5 MILLION OF REVENUE OFF THE TOP.

WE ALSO MADE SOME ADDITIONAL FORMULA ADJUSTMENTS.

IF YOU REMEMBER, THE STATE MADE SOME FAIRLY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE STATE FUNDING FORMULA.

WE ESTIMATED THOSE CHANGES AS BEST WE COULD THROUGH THAT BUDGET CYCLE, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO FIRM SOME OF THEM UP OVER THE FALL.

I ALSO MADE SOME CHANGES TO ATTENDANCE ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON LAST YEAR'S FINAL FULL YEAR ATTENDANCE RATES ACROSS ALL GRADE LEVELS.

THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT PROJECTIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

THIS IS SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WE TYPICALLY DO.

TYPICALLY THIS POINT IN THE YEAR, I'M STILL GIVING YOU BUDGET AND I'M STILL GIVING YOU MORE OF A WORST CASE SCENARIO.

I TRY TO BE A LITTLE MORE REALISTIC WITH YOU THIS TIME.

JUST KNOW, THESE ARE TRUE PROJECTIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL SPENDING.

THIS IS NOT BUFFERED REALLY, IN ANY WAY, THIS IS MY ACTUAL PRODUCTION SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE I THINK WE'RE TRENDING.

I'M NOT GIVING YOU NECESSARILY WORST CASE SCENARIO ANYMORE.

WE'RE EXPECTING, AS OF RIGHT NOW, OTHER LOCAL REVENUE, THIS IS INVESTMENT INCOME, MOSTLY INVESTMENT INCOME, AND SOME USE OF TIRZ FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS JUST BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES THAT HAVE COME IN.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT $3 MILLION LOWER THAN WE BUDGETED.

YOU GUYS HAVE ADOPTED ALMOST $8 MILLION WORTH OF BUDGET AMENDMENTS SO FAR THIS YEAR.

NOT ALL OF THOSE ARE RECURRING.

SOME OF THEM WERE ONE TIME THINGS, BUT THAT STILL FACTORS IN HERE.

THEN IF I GO IN AND PROJECT ACTUAL EXPENSES TO THE END OF THE YEAR, IT LOOKS LIKE IF WE TREND THE SAME WAY WE TRENDED THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'LL SAVE ABOUT 3.5% ON THE BUDGET, WHICH WORKS OUT TO BE JUST ABOUT $26 MILLION.

ASSUMING WE DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WE'LL END THE YEAR WITH A SURPLUS OF ABOUT $6 MILLION. QUESTIONS ON THAT.

IT'S NOT TODAY. NOW, IF WE DON'T SAVE ALL THAT MONEY, AGAIN, THAT'S BASED ON HISTORICAL SPENDING PATTERNS.

THINGS COULD HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT SEMESTER WHERE WE SPEND MORE THAN WE HAVE HISTORICALLY, AND THAT SAVINGS COMES DOWN.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IN THE BUDGET [LAUGHTER] IT'S BUDGETED FOR A REASON.

BUT ASSUMING EVERYTHING TRENDS AS NORMAL, THIS IS WHERE WE'LL END. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

[00:55:01]

>> I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THE TIRZ NUMBER BECAUSE I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE THAT.

WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE THAT HAS MADE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT AND YOU LOOK AT OUR BUDGETED SURPLUS AND OUR PROJECTED SURPLUS, THAT REALLY HAS ADDED REVENUE.

I JUST WANT TO CALL THAT OUT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THAT VERY LONG.

I KNOW IT WAS A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO THE PLACE.

I KNOW FOR SCOTT AND YOU, THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK TO GET US TO THE POINT WHERE WE COULD USE THOSE FUNDS.

JUST WANTED TO PAUSE AND REMARK ON THAT.

MY QUESTION ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, IS THAT NUMBER, DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A STABLE NUMBER YEAR TO YEAR OR IS THAT NUMBER GOING TO BOUNCE AROUND BASED ON THE PAST FACTORS?

>> I WOULD SAY IT WILL PROBABLY FLUCTUATE WITHIN ABOUT $5 MILLION A YEAR.

IT'S A STABLE NUMBER AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE THE SAME EXPENSES EVERY YEAR, AND WE'RE ESSENTIALLY JUST MATCHING WHATEVER THE ACTUAL EXPENSES TO THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE PULLING.

THOSE EXPENSES THOUGH ARE UTILITIES, PROPERTY INSURANCE, THINGS THAT DO CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

UTILITIES HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN BUDGETED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

IF WE HAVE 100 DAYS OF 100 DEGREES, UTILITIES COULD GO UP AND WE PULL MORE TIRZ MONEY.

IF WE HAVE A MORE MILD YEAR, WE DON'T SPEND AS MUCH IN UTILITIES AND WE DON'T PULL AS MUCH TIRZ MONEY.

I WOULD SAY IT'S STABLE, BUT IT WILL FLUCTUATE A LITTLE BIT FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

>> MY OTHER QUESTION ABOUT TIRZ IS, ARE THERE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD BE SPENDING IT ON THAT WE ARE NOT, THAT MAYBE WE STILL HAVE SOME MORE PROCESS TO GO THROUGH, OR WE JUST HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT YET?

>> BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TAX LAWS, WE'RE PULLING EVERYTHING THAT WE THINK WE CAN.

I THINK I RE ASK THAT QUESTION ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO, JUST MAYBE HOPING SOMETHING CHANGES.

IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE DONE LOOKING, BUT JUST BASED ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RULES, WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE GRAY AREA.

WE'D LIKE TO STAY IN THE BLACK AND WHITE.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND ANY OTHER TYPES OF EXPENSES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LOOKING JUST IN CASE.

>> ONE LAST QUESTION THAT I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER TO, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, WHEN THE TOYOTA STADIUM RENOVATIONS ARE DONE, I KNOW THAT EXTENDS OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE TIRZ, BUT DOES IT HAVE ANY IMPACT AT ALL ON THE AMOUNT OF TIRZ FUNDS THAT WE CAN RECEIVE?

>> WE WILL BE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT RENOVATION.

OUR PORTION, IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION A YEAR FROM THE TIRZ.

THAT CONTRIBUTION WILL HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, UNTIL THAT DEBT IS FULLY PAID OFF.

IT DOES NOT IMPACT HOW MUCH WE CAN PULL FOR OPERATIONS BECAUSE WE GENERATE MORE REVENUE THROUGH THE TIRZ THAN WE ARE ABLE TO PULL FOR OPERATIONS.

THE DELTA THERE GOES TO HELP FUND THAT CAPITAL PLAN.

OR IN THE FUTURE, COULD HELP PAY DOWN DEBT.

NO, IT WON'T IMPACT HOW MUCH WE CAN PULL FOR OPERATIONS.

AS SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE PART OF THE TIRZ THAT JOINT DEBT IS PAID OFF, IT WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT WE GET BACK, BUT IT WON'T NECESSARILY INCREASE THE AMOUNT WE CAN USE FOR OPERATIONS IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

AGAIN, MAYBE THEY'LL CHANGE THE RULES.

WHO KNOWS? WORTH CHECKING.

>> WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LOOKING AND TRYING TO BE AS CREATIVE AS POSSIBLE WHILE STILL STAYING WITHIN THEM.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRENDING THIS YEAR.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.

I WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE YOU GUYS.

I'LL GIVE YOU THIS SLIDE BASICALLY AT EACH OF OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW WE'RE TRENDING THIS YEAR.

AGAIN, THESE PROJECTIONS CHANGE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND AS WE HAVE MORE MONTHS WORTH OF SPENDING UNDER OUR BELTS, THEN THAT ESTIMATED BUDGET SAVINGS WILL FLUCTUATE.

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF WE COME BACK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THAT $6 MILLION SURPLUS HAS GONE UP OR DOWN JUST BASED ON ACTUAL SPENDING. IT MAY GO UP.

IF IT WAS A NEGATIVE NUMBER IN PARENTHESES, IT WOULD BE A DEFICIT. IT IS A SURPLUS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL PLAN FOR 26-27.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHIFT YOUR BRAIN A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE YOU GO TO CUT THE ONE YEAR OFF AND START THE NEXT YEAR.

BUT ONE THING I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER IS, WE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ENROLLMENT DECLINE,

[01:00:04]

WHEN WE MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THIS YEAR, THOSE NEED TO CARRY FORWARD INTO FUTURE YEARS BECAUSE THAT ENROLLMENT DECLINE IS FOREVER, NOT JUST ONE YEAR REVENUE HIT.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT COME UP IN THE FINANCIAL PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR. HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU CAN TAKE AWAY FROM THIS SLIDE.

THIS IS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT BUCKETS OF REVENUE IN OUR GENERAL FUND.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU CAN TAKE AWAY FROM THIS IS, WE'RE BUDGETING PRELIMINARILY THE SAME AS WE DID LAST YEAR FOR ALL OF THOSE BUCKETS EXCEPT FORMULA FUNDING.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING A $36 MILLION DECLINE IN FORMULA FUNDING FROM THE 25-26 ADOPTED BUDGET.

AGAIN, NOT WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY BUT ADOPTED BUDGET TO THE 26-27 BUDGET.

THAT $36 MILLION, I BROKE IT OUT FOR YOU OVER HERE.

WE HAVE ABOUT $13 MILLION FOR THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE FROM THIS YEAR.

REMEMBER I SAID WE BUDGETED 1,400 STUDENTS MORE THAN WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED.

THAT'S ABOUT $13 MILLION, AND THEN WE'RE PROJECTING AN ADDITIONAL DECLINE IN ENROLLMENT OF ABOUT 1,400 STUDENTS SO $13 MILLION FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE IT COMPOUNDS GIVES YOU 26.

THE FAST GROWTH ALLOTMENT WILL OFFICIALLY BE GONE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE ARE NO LONGER FAST GROWTH.

THAT'S BEEN STAIR STEPPING DOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW SO THE ELIMINATION OF THE FAST GROWTH ALLOTMENT.

THEN THAT FORMULA REFINEMENT THAT I TALKED ABOUT FOR 25-26 THAT HAS TO CARRY FORWARD.

YOU ADD THOSE UP AND WE'RE EXPECTING $36 MILLION LESS IN REVENUE TO START NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET THAN WE BUDGETED THIS YEAR.

THAT MAKES SENSE TO EVERYONE. IMPORTANT NOTE.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANTICIPATED REVENUE FROM NEW STUDENTS ENROLLING THROUGH ACCESS FRISCO.

THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW AS THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED, AND THEN WE SEND THE ENROLLMENT INFORMATION TO THOSE PARENTS.

ONCE THEY ENROLL, THEN WE WILL START TO COUNT THEM IN REVENUE.

LATER ON IN THE SPRING, YOU'LL SEE SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE COME INTO THIS BUDGET PLAN FOR ACCESS FIRST GO ENROLLMENT, THAT'LL HELP OFFSET SOME OF THAT ENROLLMENT DECLINE.

IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY FORMULA CHANGES FOR SPED FUNDING.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE LEGISLATURE DID IN THE LAST SESSION WAS THEY DIRECTED TEA TO COME UP WITH A NEW SPEND FUNDING FORMULA BASED ON INTENSITY OF SERVICES RATHER THAN THE INSTRUCTIONAL SETTING, WHICH IS HOW IT'S FUNDED NOW.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT FORMULA FUNDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

WE EXPECT THAT WE WILL GAIN SOME REVENUE FROM IT.

HONESTLY, WE COULD LOSE REVENUE FROM IT. WE JUST DON'T KNOW.

WE NEED TEA TO CREATE THAT FORMULA AND TELL US WHAT IT IS.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SO IT'S NOT FACTORED IN RIGHT NOW.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE ACCESS KIDS THAT WE MAY TAKE IN.

IS IT FAIR TO ASSUME THEY'LL DRAW THE SAME FUNDING AS A NON ACCESS STUDENT? BECAUSE THE REASON I'M ASKING IS TO COVER THIS, THAT MEANS WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IN 2,800 ACCESS KIDS TO COVER JUST THE ENROLLMENT LOSS, WHICH ISN'T REALISTIC.

THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I CAN COMPARE THOSE APPLES TO APPLES FOR WHENEVER YOU DO GIVE US THOSE NUMBERS. THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S OUR REVENUE OUTLOOK.

NOW OUR BASELINE BUDGET,SO WE JUST ROLL IT FORWARD.

WE ROLL THE 25-26 ADOPTED BUDGET FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR AND THAT'S OUR STARTING POINT AND THEN WE START TO PEEL IT BACK FROM THERE.

TO GET TO OUR STARTING POINT, WE ADOPTED A $762.7 MILLION BUDGET FOR 25-26.

YOU TAKE OFF THOSE FLOW THROUGH ITEMS. REMEMBER THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THE STATE GIVES US MONEY FOR AND THEN TAKES IT RIGHT BACK.

WE DON'T CONSIDER THAT REVENUE AVAILABLE FOR APPROPRIATION.

YOU TAKE THAT OFF, AND THEN YOU ADD IN THE RECURRING BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ADOPTED.

REMEMBER I SAID YOU'VE ADOPTED ABOUT $8 MILLION WORTH OF BUDGET AMENDMENTS SO FAR, 1.7 OF THOSE WERE RECURRING EXPENSES FOR SCHOOL MARSHALS AND COMMUNICATIONS AND ADVERTISING.

ADD THAT UP, YOU GET A STARTING POINT OR A BASELINE BUDGET OF 667.6 MILLION.

THAT MAKES SENSE TO EVERYBODY.

THERE'S OUR STARTING POINT.

TOTAL REVENUE AVAILABLE FOR APPROPRIATION, BASELINE BUDGET GIVES US A STARTING POINT OF A $28.6 MILLION DEFICIT THAT WE NOW HAVE TO START PEELING BACK AND GETTING AS CLOSE TO ZERO AS POSSIBLE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME COST SAVINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED.

YOU GUYS VOTED TO CLOSE DAILY.

[01:05:01]

THAT INCLUDES PERSONNEL THAT AREN'T.

WHEN I SAY PERSONNEL, I WANT TO FTES.

PERSONNEL UNITS, NOT NECESSARILY PEOPLE.

WE HOPE TO KEEP AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE THROUGH ATTRITION [LAUGHTER] BUT PERSONNEL UNITS, WE WILL TRANSFER SOME PERSONNEL UNITS TO THE RECEIVING CAMPUSES OF THOSE STALEY STUDENTS, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.

THE NET SAVINGS IS ABOUT $2.4 MILLION IN THE GENERAL FUND.

THEN FACILITY COST SAVINGS, THESE ARE THINGS LIKE THE COSTS THAT WE BUDGET FOR UTILITIES AT THAT CAMPUS, CUSTODIAL SUPPLIES AT THAT CAMPUS, JUST THE MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL FUND BUDGET ITEMS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TAGGED FOR STALEY.

IT'S ABOUT ANOTHER $400,000.

THE NEXT ONE IS REDUCTION OF TEACHING PERSONNEL UNITS FOR ENROLLMENT LEVELING.

TO MATCH THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE, WHEN WE HAVE FEWER STUDENTS, WE ESSENTIALLY NEED FEWER TEACHERS.

STARTING WITH ELEMENTARY, WE'RE PROJECTING 98 FEWER TEACHING FTES.

THIS INCLUDES TWO PIECES.

THERE WERE 37 TEACHING FTES AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL THAT WE'RE BUDGETED FOR, BUT WE DID NOT FILL, BECAUSE REMEMBER, OUR ENROLLMENT CAME IN LOWER THAN WHAT WE PLANNED.

WE HELD THOSE BACK, WE DIDN'T FILL THEM.

NOW WE NEED TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BUDGET.

THEN ANOTHER 61 PLANNED TEACHING FTES TO BE REDUCED FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET BASED ON OUR ANTICIPATED ENROLLMENT DECLINE.

WE MAY COME BACK LATER AND NEED TO ADD A COUPLE OF FTES FOR ACCESS FRISCO ENROLLMENT.

WE'RE KEEPING THESE THINGS SEPARATE UNTIL WE HAVE THE ACCESS FRISCO ENROLLMENT, WE'RE NOT HEDGING, ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL FTES.

MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE'RE LOOKING AT 30 MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHING FTES, AND THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE LOSS AT STALEY, THE LOSS FROM CLOSING STALEY, AND THEN 43 HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING FTES.

TOTAL THERE 12.7 MILLION.

THEN LASTLY.

>> HOLD ON JUST A SECOND BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.

CAN WE JUST PUT IT OUT IN THE UNIVERSE THAT THESE ARE POSITIONS THAT WERE NEVER FILLED THAT WE'RE DECIDING NOT TO FILL.

LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR FOR THE PUBLIC.

>> ALL OF THIS WILL BE DONE THROUGH ATTRITION. THANK YOU.

WE WANT TO KEEP ALL OF OUR GREAT TEACHERS AND THERE WILL BE PLACES FOR THEM.

THIS WILL ALL BE DONE THROUGH NATURAL ATTRITION.

>> DO I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN, NATURAL ATTRITION [LAUGHTER] LASTLY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE INDIVIDUAL BUDGET MEETINGS THAT WE ALL HAD, AND YOU'VE ALSO GOTTEN SOME UPDATES IN HOME BASE IS THE CHANGE IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING MODEL.

WE ARE MOVING MIDDLE SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES FROM TWO POSITIONS TO ONE NEXT YEAR.

THAT'S 18 TOTAL POSITION UNITS FOR A SAVINGS OF $1.4 MILLION.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE RUNNING TOTAL.

WE STARTED WITH A $28.6 MILLION DEFICIT AND NOW WE'RE DOWN TO AN $11.7 MILLION DEFICIT JUST WITH THESE THREE PIECES.

NOW, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO OVER THE COURSE OF THE I MAY HAVE THIS. THERE WE GO.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IS WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME OF THAT SAVINGS, THAT 3.5% BUDGET SAVINGS THAT WE ANTICIPATE SAVING.

IF IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE REALLY SAVING THAT, WE'RE GOING TO START TO PULL BACK ON SOME OF THAT BUDGET AND TRY NOT TO SAVE AS MUCH NEXT YEAR, ESSENTIALLY.

WE'RE GOING TO START TO PULL DOWN SOME OF THAT CUSHION.

THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE NOT YET CONSIDERED RAISES OR OTHER COMPENSATION CHANGES.

EVEN IF WE CAN GET CLOSE TO ZERO BY LOOKING AT WHAT THOSE LINE ITEMS THAT WE HISTORICALLY SAVE IN AND JUST ELIMINATING THAT BUDGET, WE STILL HAVE TO CONSIDER POTENTIAL COMPENSATION CHANGES ON TOP OF THAT.

NOW, REMEMBER, AND THIS IS AGAIN IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL TALKED ABOUT IN OUR INDIVIDUAL BUDGET MEETINGS.

WE DID END LAST YEAR WITH A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SURPLUS THAT WE CAN USE TO HELP US BALANCE OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO.

WE WOULDN'T WANT TO USE ALL OF IT AT ONCE, BUT WE DO HAVE THAT AS A TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL TO HELP US GET THROUGH, ESPECIALLY IF TEA IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE GAME TO TELL US THE CHANGES IN THAT SPED FUNDING FORMULA AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

IF FOR TIMING PURPOSES, WE NEED TO USE SOME OF THAT FUND BALANCE, SOME OF THAT SURPLUS THAT WE GENERATED LAST YEAR TO HELP GET US THROUGH.

[01:10:03]

QUESTIONS ON COST SAVINGS.

I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT REVENUE GENERATING OPTIONS NOW.

NOW, BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE NOTE UNDER THE TITLE.

THIS IS FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY.

THE LIST IS IN ORDER FROM LARGEST AMOUNT OF REVENUE TO SMALLEST AMOUNT OF REVENUE.

THESE ARE ALL OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE AS A TEAM AND THAT IN TALKS WITH YOU GUYS DURING OUR INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS, HAVE COME UP WITH AS POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL REVENUE IN OUR GENERAL FUND.

NOW, UNDERSTAND ON A $770 MILLION BUDGET, SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE SMALL AMOUNTS, BUT EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GO THROUGH THESE JUST AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL, OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION FROM YOU ALL.

THEN ANY OF THE ONES THAT WE DECIDE TO PUT INTO PLACE FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL GO THROUGH AND PUT TOGETHER A MORE COMPREHENSIVE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WITH DETAILED REVENUE FIGURES AND GIVE THAT TO YOU IN HOME BASIN AT THE NEXT WORKSHOP.

BUT WE WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THESE OPTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.

OF COURSE, THE OPTION THAT GENERATES THE MOST REVENUE WOULD BE A VADER.

WE HAVE ABOUT 3.5 CENTS AVAILABLE TO US ON THE TAX RATE REQUIRES AN ELECTION, WOULD GENERATE ABOUT $10 MILLION.

ANOTHER OPTION THAT WOULD GENERATE ABOUT $1.5 MILLION IS THE ATHLETICS OPERATIONS FEE THAT WE HAD BACK IN 2017.

BACK THEN, WE CHARGED MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES AN OPERATIONS FEE THAT FOR PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS TO HELP COVER SOME OF OUR COSTS, BECAUSE AS YOU GUYS KNOW, OUR COSTS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF OUR STUDENT OPPORTUNITY.

>> KIM, IS THAT EVERY ATHLETIC PROGRAM?

>> THAT'S ALL ATHLETICS.

>> OKAY.

>> INCLUDING.

>> NO, JUST ATHLETICS, NOT EXTRACURRICULARS.

BAND WOULD BE FINE ARTS SO AS SPORTS, THIS IS SPORTS.

>> CAN YOU PEOPLE JUMPING IN ALREADY TRYING TO DEFEND THE BAND? [LAUGHTER] WHAT'S THE FEE AMOUNT?

>> THE FEE GOING.

THAT GENERATED IN 2017, THAT GENERATED ABOUT $1.5 MILLION.

THAT'S WHERE THAT TOTAL FIGURE COMES FROM.

THERE'S NOT A PROPOSAL FOR AN OPERATIONS FEE FOR FINE ARTS, JUST FOR ATHLETICS.

>> I BE TO JUMP IN MINIMUM FOR A BAND SEASON FOR TWO OF THE 12 SCHOOLS I'VE BEEN A PART OF.

I HAD ONE THAT PAID WELL OVER 1,200 PER YEAR FOR UNIFORMS, ACCESSORIES, THING ON THE OTHER END, IT WAS MORE DISCOUNT FOR WE ALREADY PAY.

>> IT'S OUT OF POCKET. KEEP IN MIND TOO, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE, NONE OF THESE ARE OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS AT THIS POINT.

THESE ARE ALL OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER IN DISCUSSION.

IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OF THESE, IT CAN BEAKED CHANGED.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXACTLY LIKE WE DID IT IN THE PAST.

IT'S JUST THESE ARE ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION. GO AHEAD.

>> MORE DISCUSSION. A REVENUE STANDPOINT.

HOW DOES THE ATHLETIC GENERATE AND HOW MUCH IN ART?

>> CURRENTLY THIS YEAR, WE DON'T GENERATE ANY REVENUE FROM ATHLETICS OR FINE ARTS STUDENTS.

FINE ART STUDENTS AND SOME ATHLETIC STUDENTS HAVE COSTS.

FAMILIES DO HAVE COSTS OUT OF POCKET FOR PARTICIPATING IN THOSE ACTIVITIES.

THE DISTRICT DOESN'T GENERATE ANY REVENUE FROM EITHER OF THOSE GROUPS.

FROM GAMES [LAUGHTER]

>> NO, BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW. THEY'RE GOING TO ASK THEM.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I WASN'T THINKING GAMES.

I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT WE CAN GET IT.

[01:15:03]

>> I CAN CHIME IN WHEN PEOPLE COME TO BAND COMPETITION, THEY DON'T PAY THE DISTRICT.

THEY PAY WHATEVER ENTITY IS HOSTING.

WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHARGE A TICKETED PRICE FOR YOU TO COME SEE THE BAND.

YOU PAY $5, YOU PAY $16 FOR TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS BUT SOMETIMES A PASS FOR $42, BUT FRISCO ISD DOESN'T SEE THAT.

>> THEN THERE'S A WHOLE CHOIR, THEATER, CHEERLEADING THAT LIKE IS A CONVERSATION AND A LINE ITEM FOR ANOTHER MEETING THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF TIME.

BECAUSE WE DID CHOIR IN THEATER, BUT THEN IN 2017, I PAID THE FEE BECAUSE THEY WERE ON ATHLETICS, SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REALLY GET INTO ON.

>> I CAN GIVE YOU THE TOTAL REVENUE THAT ATHLETIC GAMES BRINGS IN DISTRICT ANNUALLY.

I JUST DON'T HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I CAN GET IT FOR YOU.

>> AS WE'RE BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS BALL TEAM HAS.

I UNDERSTAND THE BAND IS NOT UP THERE, BUT DO YOU THINK I'M THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S ASKING WHERE'S THE BAND? THAT'S THE PARKING REVENUE.

THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT IS OUT THERE, WE HAVE THE ATHLETIC AND THERE'S THE BAND.

>> YOU'RE ASKING A QUESTION OF REVENUE.

I'LL REPEAT MY STATEMENT, THE BAND DOESN'T DRAW REVENUE FROM TICKET SALE.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT FOR A BAND COMPETITION THAT COMES TO FRISCO ISD, THERE WOULD BE NO COST SAVINGS. THERE WOULD BE NO.

IN FACT, PARENTS PAY FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENTS THAT THEY GO TO AND IT DOESN'T COME THROUGH FRISCO ISD.

>> THE ARGUMENT THAT YOU'RE MAKING ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, LARGE FEE, BUT WE KNOW THEY GENERATE REVENUE.

THEN PAYS A FEE BUT DOESN'T SHOW UP REVENUE.

>> I'M NOT MAKING AN ARGUMENT.

I WANT WHATEVER'S BEST FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE COACHES AND THE TEACHERS.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT BAND IS NOT UP THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T GENERATE ANYTHING.

BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT BAND, WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT ATHLETICS.

>> WHY WOULDN'T WE TALK ABOUT THE BAND?

>> BECAUSE THERE IS NO.

>> YOU GUYS WANT TO STAY ON THIS ONE [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, WHAT I SEE IS THAT WE'RE SHIFTING IN ALMOST ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES, COSTS TO THE COMMUNITY.

TAXES, INCREASED FEES ON FAMILIES, INCREASED FEES ON COMMUNITY GROUPS, EXCEPT FOR THE CELL TOWER, WE'RE SHIFTING THE COS.

I THINK THAT IS GOING TO COST SOME CONCERNS.

I THINK THE QUESTION MIGHT BE, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU DOING TO DO THESE THINGS BESIDES SHIFTING THE COSTS TO THE COMMUNITY WHO'S ALREADY SENSITIVE ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TAXES THAT THEY PAY THAT GO UP EVERY YEAR REGARDLESS OF HOW OFTEN THEY LOWER THE TAX RATE.

I REALIZE THERE'S A TBD ON THAT BOTTOM ONE AND THOSE BOTTOM TWO ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT DON'T DO THAT.

I JUST FEEL THEY NEED TO CALL THAT OUT BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT BEING A CONCERN.

THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN, SPEAKING AS MYSELF.

>> A HOP IN HERE. THE FAIR BUSING IS ACTUALLY JUST PROVIDING A SERVICE TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T GET IT.

YOU'RE NOT GIVING A FEE TO ANYONE THERE UNLESS THEY'RE GETTING SOMETHING.

>> THAT'S OPTIONAL THEN.

>> THAT'S OPTIONAL.

>> OKAY.

>> THEN INCREASE IN FACILITY RENTAL PRICING, THAT'S ONLY TO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE RENTING FACILITIES, AND IT'S TO BE WITH MORE OF A MARKET AVERAGE.

THAT'S TO THE GENERAL COMMUNITY EITHER.

THEN YOU'VE GOT THE CELL TOWERS AND THEN THE ADVERTISING.

>> LET ME GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THESE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THEM.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ATHLETICS. THAT'S WE'RE ON IT.

>> GO AHEAD.

>> IT WAS IN 2017.

I REMEMBER WHEN I PAID FOR THAT, BUT DIDN'T WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T PAY AND WHY DID WE STOP THE PROGRAM?

>> WE DID WAIVE THE FEE FOR STUDENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH.

I BELIEVE EVERYBODY WHO WAS REQUIRED TO PAY THE FEE AND DIDN'T HAVE IT WAIVED,

[01:20:04]

WE GENERATED AS MUCH MONEY AS WE EXPECTED TO GENERATE.

WE HAD THAT FEE IN PLACE IN 2017, AND THEN IN 2018, WE PASSED VEDA AND WE RAISED THE TAX RATE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID IF WHEN THAT TAX RATE INCREASE PASSED WAS WE ELIMINATED THAT FEE.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE ALL OF THIS DECIDED BECAUSE I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT SEVERAL OF THESE.

WE'LL BE GETTING INTO THAT TONIGHT BECAUSE IF WE ARE, I JUST NEED TO KNOW, BUT IF NOT.

>> THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT IS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

THE ONES THAT WE ARE HEARING, WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MORE CONCRETE PLANS AND PROJECTIONS, THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO THOSE IN FUTURE MEETINGS.

YES. BUT WE DO NEED TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS ON THESE.

LET ME GO THROUGH THE OTHER ONES REAL QUICK. WE'LL COME BACK FOR QUESTIONS.

FARE-BASED BUSING IS ESSENTIALLY RIGHT NOW, WE ONLY BUS STUDENTS WHO LIVE TWO MILES OR FARTHER AWAY FROM THEIR HOME CAMPUS.

WE DO HAVE SOME EMPTY SEATS ON BUSES THAT WE COULD ALLOW FAMILIES WHO LIVE WITHIN THAT TWO MILE RADIUS AND DON'T QUALIFY FOR BUSING TO PAY A FEE TO BE ABLE TO RIDE THE BUS.

THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE AREA THAT CURRENTLY DO THIS.

BASED ON WHAT THOSE DISTRICTS CHARGE PER STUDENT, EVEN IF WE FILLED UP SAY HALF OF THE SEATS THAT WE MAY HAVE AVAILABLE, WE FEEL LIKE WE COULD GENERATE ABOUT $1 MILLION.

AGAIN, LIKE TODD SAID, THIS WOULD BE A SERVICE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING, IT'S OPTIONAL.

IT'S FOR STUDENTS WHO DON'T CURRENTLY QUALIFY FOR BUSING.

FOR EXAMPLE, MY HOUSE IS TWO HOUSES AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR A BUS TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THIS WOULD BE FOR SOMEBODY LIKE ME WHO A BUS COMES TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I LIVE JUST TOO CLOSE TO BE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR A BUS.

IF WE DID THIS, I COULD PAY A FEE MONTHLY FEE TO ALLOW MY KID TO RIDE THE BUS IF THERE WAS AN EMPTY SEAT ON THAT BUS.

THAT'S WHAT FAIR-BASED BUSING IS.

STUDENT CHROMEBOOK FEES.

THIS WOULD BE AN ANNUAL FEE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

I BELIEVE IT'S $10 OR $25 A YEAR, JUST REALLY TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF BREAKAGE AND REPAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

I'LL SAY IT INTO THE MICROPHONE JUST FOR THE CAMERA.

CURRENTLY, WE CHARGE NINTH GRADERS ONCE BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING A NEW CHROMEBOOK FOR THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.

WE'RE CHARGING NINTH GRADERS.

THIS WOULD BE AN ANNUAL FEE, BUT IT WOULD DEFINITELY HELP IT WOULD COVER THE COST OF CHROMEBOOK REPAIRS AND BREAKAGE THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY INCURRING IN THE GENERAL FUND.

INCREASING FACILITY RENTAL PRICING.

TODD ALREADY MENTIONED, THIS IS JUST MORE ALIGNING WITH THE MARKET RATE FOR RENTING FACILITIES.

THIS WOULD BE RENTING TO COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT WANT TO USE OUR FACILITIES AFTER HOURS OR WEEKENDS.

ADDITIONAL CELL TOWER LEASES.

IT'S ABOUT $45,000 PER YEAR PER CELL TOWER.

THIS $300,000 IS ASSUMING WE PUT UP SIX ADDITIONAL CELL TOWERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

THOSE COULD BE PUT ON LIGHT POLES, ON FOOTBALL FIELDS, AT HIGH SCHOOLS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE IT OR JUST ON DISTRICT CENTRAL OFFICE TYPE BUILDINGS AND NOT ON CAMPUSES.

THERE'S LOTS OF OPTIONS. THAT'S FOR SIX.

IF WE WANTED TO GET INTO THAT WORLD, WE COULD EXPAND IT AND GENERATE MORE.

THEN ASHLEY SIGN IS HERE TO GO THROUGH A MENU WITH YOU GUYS FOR ADVERTISING ON DISTRICT OWNED ASSETS AND SOME OPPORTUNITIES THERE.

BUT BEFORE SHE DOES THAT, I WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS OR MAKE COMMENTS ON THE OTHER PIECES.

>> SORRY, KEITH.

>> GO AHEAD.

>> ON THE FARE-BASED BUSING UNDER TWO MILES, ARE WE GOING TO BE INCLUDING OUR HAZARDOUS FAMILIES IN THAT DECISION? WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO INTO REMOVING PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED UNDER THE EXCEPTION RULES?

>> NO, IF YOU QUALIFY FOR BUSING, YOU CONTINUE TO QUALIFY.

THIS WOULD JUST BE ALLOWING PEOPLE WHO DON'T QUALIFY FOR BUSING TO GET A SEAT ON A BUS.

TO PAY FOR A SEAT ON A BUS.

>> BUT YOU ARE SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO [INAUDIBLE] ANYONE WHO CURRENTLY FALLS UNDER THE EXCEPTION RULES?

>> NO.

>> I JUST WANT TO [INAUDIBLE].

>> THEN, OF COURSE, I DO THINK THE ATHLETIC CONVERSATION NEEDS TO BE [INAUDIBLE] GREATLY.

THEN ON THE STUDENT CHROMEBOOK FEES, I JUST WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BRING THEIR OWN ITEM,

[01:25:05]

I WONDER ABOUT THE KICKBACK ON THAT, BUT I KNOW IT'S ALSO NECESSARY BECAUSE I'VE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH CHERYL ABOUT HOW THESE THINGS ARE TREATED, AND SO I TOTALLY GET IT.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY [INAUDIBLE].

>> THANKS.

>> WAIT, THE RENTAL FACILITIES, I THINK THAT'S A NECESSITY BECAUSE OUR ASSETS ARE CONSTANTLY WANTED AND IN DEMAND.

>> CAN I CLARIFY SOMETHING? I THINK IT WAS SHERRIE THAT YOU SAID THIS; IT WAS ABOUT THE FAIR-BASED BUSING.

I THINK YOU SAID, CAN WE GUARANTEE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE AWAY BUSING FROM STUDENTS WHO HAVE CURRENT EXCEPTIONS? DO NOT WANT TO GUARANTEE THAT RIGHT NOW.

PART OF WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS IN ISD AND FUTURE MEETINGS WITH BUDGET SAVING OPPORTUNITIES IS WE HAVE MULTIPLE EXCEPTIONS.

SOME OF THOSE HAVE GONE BACK 10 YEARS.

WE ALSO HAVE OTHERS THAT WE HAVE CREATED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO WHEN WE DO CLOSE CAMPUSES AND WE OVERFLOW.

WE ARE LOOKING TO GET RID OF THOSE EXCEPTIONS AS WE START PUSHING KIDS BACK TO DIFFERENT CAMPUSES.

>> I HAD A FIGURE THAT WAS THE CASE BECAUSE ACTUALLY I KNOW THERE ARE AREAS THAT COULD BE REVISITED AND SHOULD BE REVISITED BECAUSE OF SOME AREAS.

>> [BACKGROUND] IT'S NOT PART OF THIS.

>> THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS. WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU IN APRIL, YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE COST SAVINGS AS WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS AND ISD THEN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AS THE BOARD.

>> I'M NOT OPPOSED TO AUDITING THAT AREA.

ACTUALLY, I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING THAT. THANK YOU, SCOTT.

BUT WHAT I WANT TO BE VOCAL ABOUT IS THAT THE ACTUAL HAZARDOUS AREAS THAT FALL UNDER THE HAZARDOUS RULES WHICH THE STATE SUPPORTS.

I WANT TO PUT IT OUT THERE THAT I'M GOING TO BE [OVERLAPPING].

>> THOSE WE WILL NOT TOUCH.

>> THE HAZARDOUS PIECE, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

WAS JUST THE HAZARDOUS ONES.

>> THANKS, SCOTT.

>> BUT I'M GLAD YOU DID COME BACK AND SAY THAT BECAUSE I LIKE TO HAVE IT SAID RIGHT AS FAR AS [INAUDIBLE].

>> YES.

>> I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE STUDENT CHROMEBOOK FEES AS A PARENT, AND THERE'S A LOT OF PARENTS, WHY SHOULD I PAY IF I ALREADY HAVE A DEVICE AT HOME? AND I KNOW IT'S HARD TO MANAGE, VERY HARD TO MANAGE.

A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS TO PROVIDE SECURITY FOR STUDENTS, BUT I CAN SEE A LOT OF PUSHBACK ON THAT.

>> CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW STUDENTS TO BRING THEIR [INAUDIBLE].

SO THE NEW LAW THAT WAS PASSED IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, STUDENTS CAN'T BRING THEIR OWN DEVICE.

WE CAN'T ALLOW THAT.

THERE'S NO BRINGING YOUR OWN CHROMEBOOK ANYWHERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

>> WHAT IS THE CHROMEBOOK FEE?

>> THE ESTIMATED FEE HERE, THIS IS BASED ON $10 A YEAR FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT AND $20 PER YEAR FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

>> SORRY, I MEANT THE CURRENT FEE THAT THE NINTH GRADER PARENTS ARE PAYING.

>> THE CURRENT FEE, IT'S $20 FOR NINTH GRADERS, $20 FOR NINTH GRADERS ONCE.

>> [BACKGROUND] ONE TIME?

>> ONE TIME. IN THEIR NINTH GRADE YEAR.

>> ARE THERE CONSIDERATIONS FOR STUDENTS [INAUDIBLE] AND WHAT ARE THOSE CONSIDERATIONS?

>> MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE ARE SAYING NO, THE $10 IS WAIVED, AND THEN FOR HIGH SCHOOL WOULD BE HALF; $10, INSTEAD OF 20.

THEN THEY CAN PAY IT OUT. WE HAVE A WAY TO DO PAYMENT PLANS SO THAT THEY CAN PAY IT OUT AS LONG AS THEY [INAUDIBLE].

WHEN WE FIRST STARTED ONE TO ONE PROGRAM, WHICH WAS ONLY LIKE SIX YEARS AGO, WE STARTED IT AS PAYING EVERY YEAR, AND THEN WE DROPPED OFF OF THAT BECAUSE WE WEREN'T GETTING THE MONEY.

ONCE THEY GOT THE DEVICE, THEY WEREN'T WANTING TO PAY FROM YEAR TO YEAR TO YEAR.

NOW WE HAVE A WAY THAT WE CAN MACHINE SO THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT [INAUDIBLE].

>> WITH HIGH SCHOOL, NINTH GRADE THAT IS THE [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE DURATION?

>> CURRENTLY, YES.

>> THEY PAY $20 AND THE ONE-TIME FEE?

>> THE ONE-TIME FEE. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE WOULD PAY EVERY YEAR.

>> WE EAT UP ALL OF THE MONEY CURRENTLY BETWEEN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL; MIDDLE SCHOOL DOES NOT PAY.

THEN THIS WOULD KEEP US FROM DIPPING INTO M&O.

ALSO WITH THE BOND MONEY THAT WE HAVE LEFT, WE'RE BUYING DEVICES FROM THAT.

WE'RE BUYING IT, AND THEN IF THEY BREAK, WE'RE USING BOND MONEY CURRENTLY TO BUY AGAIN.

SOMETIMES OF THOSE BREAKAGE, WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE MACHINE; IT'S SO DAMAGED.

>> I THINK KOPPERL ISD, I KNOW MY NIECE GOES THERE, MY NEPHEW.

[01:30:01]

I BELIEVE THEY CHARGE ABOUT $100 OR SOMETHING, NOT AS A CHROMEBOOK FEE, THEY'RE CHARGING AS INSURANCE OR SOMETHING.

SO THAT'S HOW THEY'RE TACKLING, BUT THEY'RE CHARGING IT UP FRONT.

SO TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT NUMBER.

>> ESSENTIALLY, IT'S OUR OWN INSURANCE BECAUSE WE FIX IN-HOUSE.

YEAH. BUT THE FIRST TIME IT'S BROKEN, THEY DON'T GET CHARGED.

AND SOME OF THOSE FIRST-TIME BROKEN COST WAY MORE THAN $20.

WE'RE REPLACING A MOTHER BOARD, REPLACING A TOUCHSCREEN.

SO ONE BREAK WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT $20 FEE IMMEDIATELY.

>> AN OPTION IS THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT CHARGING.

>> SOME OF OUR PARENTS, IT'LL END UP COSTING THEM MORE MONEY IF WE CHARGE BY BREAKAGE BECAUSE SOME STUDENTS ARE REPEAT OFFENDERS.

AND NOT ONLY DO THEY BREAK THE FIRST TIME, BUT THEN SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK WITH A SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH BREAK.

AND THE FIRST TIME IS FREE, AND IT COULD BE THE WHOLE MACHINE IS SO DAMAGED, THEY GET ANOTHER NEW ONE OR THEY GET ANOTHER ONE INSTEAD BECAUSE WE CAN'T FIX IT.

>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S A $300 FIX. $350 FIX.

>> COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS. A BUS FEE TO TRANSPORT THE [INAUDIBLE].

>> THE TRANSPORT LIKE [OVERLAPPING].

>> CENTENNIAL PLAYS, REEDY, THEY GO OUT TO PLAY AT THE FORD CENTER.

>> THAT'S PART OF OUR GENERAL FUND ATHLETICS BUDGET.

>> THAT'S PART OF THE GENERAL FUND?

>> YES.

>> THAT'S NOT CHARGED TO THE KIDS?

>> NO.

>> WITH THE BAND?

>> IF THE BAND IS GOING TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME AND THEY'RE TAKING THE BUS, THAT'S COVERED IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET.

DID I SAY THAT RIGHT, CORY?

>> YEAH.

>> FOOTBALL TEAM TAKES UP WHAT? TWO BUSES, ONE BUS?

>> I HAVE NO [INAUDIBLE].

>> AND THE BAND TAKES UP?

>> FORTY BUSES? SO IS THERE ANY OTHER STUDENT ATHLETIC EVENT, OR STUDENT RELATED EVENT THAT IS NOT UP HERE, THAT'S NOT COVERED? THE BAND IS NOT UP HERE, FINE ARTS IS NOT UP HERE.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

>> THERE'S NO RECOMMENDATION UP HERE FOR ADDITIONAL FEES FOR FINE ARTS.

>> THERE ARE NO FEES FOR FINE ARTS? ARE THERE ARE NO FEES FOR FINE ARTS? WHAT ARE THEY? ARE THEY FINE ARTS, ARE THEY CHEERS ARE THEY ATHLETICS [OVERLAPPING] I DON'T KNOW WHAT TERMINOLOGY IS USED, SO WHAT DO WE CALL THEM?

>> WE SAY PEOPLE ARE ASKING ME.

THEY'RE SENDING ME TEXTS AND QUESTIONS LIKE WHAT IS THIS?

>> NOBODY ASKED ME THAT, BUT I SAY IT SOUNDS GOOD.

SO I'M JUST SAYING ANYWAY.

SERIOUS, FOLLOW ME ALONG THIS.

THE BAND, FINE ARTS GET OFF THE TABLE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT ELSE IS NOT INCLUDED.

>> ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS THAT WE GO ON.

ON KNOWLEDGE, WE DON'T CHARGE FEES FOR ACADEMIC COMPETITION.

THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS IN 2017, I KNOW. ADDING THAT FEE.

>> BUT I BELIEVE FIRST THAT DECA IS THE ONE EXAMPLE.

WHEN THEY DECA STATE, I BELIEVE WE'RE CHARGING SOMETHING, BECAUSE I REMEMBER I USED TO PAY FOR MY SON DECA COMPETITIONS [OVERLAPPING].

OVERALL FEE THOUGH, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S FOR TRANSPORTATION, BUT IT'S OVERALL FEE.

FOR THE STATE, IT'S A ERVING CONVENTION CENTER TRANSPORTATION.

I DID NOT SAY TRANSPORTATION, BUT I PAID SOME RECENTLY LAST MONTH.

>> I THINK I CAN HELP WITH THIS.

YOU PAY AN AMOUNT, YOUR DIRECTOR WORKS TO COMPILE A LIST OF COMPETITIONS THAT YOU'RE IN SIMILAR TO BAND, THEY COMPILE A LIST OF COMPETITIONS, THEY TALLY HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE, WHAT THE REGISTRATION COSTS ARE GOING TO BE, AND THEN THEY DIVIDE IT UP PER STUDENT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE PAYING.

>> THAT MAY NOT BE THE TRANSPORTATION.

MAYBE THE LUNCH THEY'RE PROVIDING OR SNACK, WHATEVER.

>> PART OF THE DISCONNECT HERE, KEITH, IS OUR FOOTBALL TEAM.

THE WAY THEY COMPETE FOR THEIR FINAL DESTINATION, WHICH IS THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, IS EVERY SINGLE FOOTBALL GAME THAT THEY PLAY ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT OR WHATEVER.

WHEREAS OUR BANDS, THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT AT THE FOOTBALL GAME.

[01:35:01]

THEY HAVE TO GO IN A DIFFERENT ROUTE, WHICH IS WHAT DYNETTE JUST DESCRIBED.

THEY HAVE TO PAY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ROUTE TO COMPETE.

THEY HAVE TO PAY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ROUTE AND OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY PRACTICE, WHICH WOULD BE BANS OF AMERICA.

THE THEATER HAS TO DO THE SAME THING, THE CHEERLEADERS HAVE TO DO SOME OF THE SAME THING.

I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND IT'S A VERY VALID, REAL GOOD QUESTION.

YOU'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THIS ASK OF A FEE FAIRLY TO ALL EXTRACURRICULARS.

>> YOU SAID THAT, BUT I DIDN'T.

>> HEAR ME OUT THOUGH, I'M NOT ASKING FOR IT TO BE EQUITABLE AND EVERYBODY [INAUDIBLE] HUNDRED DOLLAR FEE.

WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONSIDER AND WE NEED STREAMS OF REVENUE GRANTED, ARE THERE THINGS THAT WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY SAYING ARE OFF THE TABLE? IF SO, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY WHY? WHY IS THE BAND OFF THE TABLE? WHY IS FINE ARTS OFF THE TABLE? WHY SWIMMING, VOLLEYBALL, BASEBALL? WE KNOW THEY DON'T GENERATE MONEY.

>> PLEASE, HEAR ME AS I'M NOT MAKING THE ARGUMENT RIGHT NOW FOR THIS.

I'M JUST TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS MULTI LEVEL.

BECAUSE THE BAND PARENTS FOR WAKELAND, I THINK THEY WRITE SOME CHECK FOR 1,500 OR TWO GRAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. IT'S CRAZY.

>> BUT DON'T YOU THINK THE ATHLETICS AT FRISCO WRITE A CHECK FOR SUMMER CAMP AND FOR EXTRA PAYS AND FOR GATORADE AND FOR OTHER THINGS.

>> BUT THEY'RE NOT WRITING A $1,500 CHECK TO PLAY ON. LONESTAR [OVERLAPPING].

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHECK IS FOR.

>> I DON'T THINK SO. CORY?

>> FOOTBALL CAMP IS EXPENSIVE.

>>A LONESTAR FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO WENT TO STATE BECAUSE WE WENT. IT WAS A GREAT GAME.

ACTUALLY, THEY DID SO GOOD. I'M SO PROUD OF THEM.

THEY DIDN'T WRITE THE SAME CHECK.

>> BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE [INAUDIBLE] AND LET ME JUST BE [INAUDIBLE] I DID IN THAT POSITION.

>> I AGREE.

>> WE ARE LOOKING FOR REVENUE.

WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE ASKING THE QUESTION, I CAN'T HELP IF I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT PLAYS VOLLEYBALL AND A SON THAT PLAYS BASEBALL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE [INAUDIBLE] THEN, I HAVE FOUR KIDS IN THE BAND, AND YOU SHOULD SUBSIDIZE THE BAND FEE [INAUDIBLE].

>> LET ME ADD.

>> THAT'S WHAT THEY HERE BECAUSE THEY SAID YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE CHROMEBOOK, YOU ARE GOING [OVERLAPPING].

>> YOU GOT TO REMEMBER, WE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS AND I [INAUDIBLE] SPECIFICALLY, BUT IN 2017 IS EXACT SAME THING.

HERE'S THE CONVERSATIONS, THE REASON WE WENT IN 2017 [INAUDIBLE] ARTS., CHEER SEEMED TO HAVE PAID A HIGHER LEVEL [INAUDIBLE] THAN ATHLETICS.

MY DAUGHTER PLAYED IN SOFTBALL.

I PAID EXTRA MONEY EVERY YEAR FOR HER TO PLAYING SOFTBALL.

COULD I ARGUE THAT AGAINST FINE ARTS? PROBABLY SO, BUT WE FELT THAT THE FEE WAS LOWER MOST OF THE TIME IN MOST OF OUR SPORTS.

THAT'S WHY IN 2017, WE KEPT IT ATHLETICALLY ONLY, NOT GO DOWN THE FINE ARTS TRAIL OR THE CHEER TRAIL AT EXPENSE [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S WHY WAS A DECISION WAS MADE.

WHY IT'S ONLY UP THERE RIGHT NOW FOR ATHLETICS.

NOT SAYING WE GO THAT ROUTE, BUT THAT'S WHY IT WAS DONE, THAT'S WHY WE ROLLED IT OUT THERE.

>> LAST POINT I'LL MAKE ABOUT [INAUDIBLE].

>> IT WOULD NOT. REVENUE SIDE, THEY WOULD NOT COME INTO PLAY ON THIS.

>> WE WILL BE ABLE TO RENT THE FINE ARTS FACILITY AT SOME POINT TO COMMUNITY AND GENERATE SOME REVENUE THROUGH FACILITY RENTALS.

THAT'S NOT BUDGETED IN HERE YET.

THE FACILITY HAS TO OPEN FIRST.

WE WILL GENERATE SOME FACILITY RENTAL REVENUE.

>> I'M JUST LAUGHING BECAUSE THE ATHLETES WILL PROBABLY SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'VE BUILT A BRAND NEW CENTER AND THEY'RE NOT GENERATING ANY INCOME? THAT CENTER WILL GENERATE INCOME FROM FACILITY RENTAL.

IT'S JUST THAT'S NOT IN HERE.

THAT'S NOT IN HERE YET.

>> NO, WE DON'T GENERATE INCOME FROM THE STAR OR [INAUDIBLE].

>> I MEAN, THAT FACILITY RENTAL IS 0.3 MILLION, THAT'S JUST ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT FACILITIES, NOT INCLUDING THE VISUAL ART CENTER.

THE ONE UPCOMING. WE CAN INCREASE THE REVENUE ON THAT PART, ACTUALLY.

I'LL COME UP WITH SOME PLAN FOR THE FACILITY RENTAL, WHICH IS, I'M MORE INTERESTED IN THAT SINCE BEGINNING, I TOLD TO MARK MANY TIMES.

WE'RE NOT UTILIZING AT FULL CAPACITY OUR FACILITY RENTAL, SO IF YOU CAN, [OVERLAPPING] POTENTIAL THERE.

>> THAT'S WHERE THAT $300,000 THERE IS INCREASING THE COST TO RENT OUR CURRENT FACILITY?

>> NOT INCREASING THE RENT, BUT UTILIZING MORE FACILITIES.

WE'RE NOT UTILIZING 100%,

[01:40:02]

>> WHAT THINGS [INAUDIBLE] IS ALSO MENTIONING IS THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THAT OVER POINT.

>> POTENTIALLY, YES. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK SCOTT KNOWS THOSE PLANS.

>> I WANT TO [INAUDIBLE] THE ATHLETICS OPERATION [INAUDIBLE] A BROADER [INAUDIBLE] PRECEDENT.

IS THERE ANY CONTEXT WITH RESPECT TO HANDLE ATHLETICS VERSUS [INAUDIBLE], SO WHAT DOES IT TELL US?

>> RIGHT NOW, CHRIS [INAUDIBLE] LOOK AS WE WERE EXPLORING THIS OPTION AGAIN.

WE DON'T KNOW IF ANY DISTRICTS THAT ARE CLOSE AROUND US THAT ARE HAVING [INAUDIBLE], I MEAN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO THAT WAY, BUT IT [INAUDIBLE] OUTSIDE THE BOX THAT THEY'RE DOING, I DON'T [INAUDIBLE], BUT WE CAN EXPLORE THAT, BUT THE ATHLETIC FEE IS NOT ONE OF THEM [INAUDIBLE].

>> IMPORTANT TOO. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE BRING THINGS LIKE THIS TO YOU GUYS, YOU'RE USED TO, THIS IS STAFF RECOMMENDATION, THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS.

THIS WAS US BRAINSTORMING AND WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD BRING TO YOU GUYS THE THINGS THAT WE WERE BRAINSTORMING.

>> YOU SEE HOW MUCH CONVERSATION ONE ITEM LIKE THIS WILL HAVE ON THE ATHLETIC SIDE JUST WITH THE GROUP OF [OVERLAPPING].

>> THE SAME IS TRUE OVER HERE FOR US.

WE'RE JUST BRAINSTORMING WITH YOU RIGHT NOW.

HONESTLY, THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.

>> HENCE THE NOTE THAT I'LL POINT OUT AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY.

BUT I DO WANT TO SAY, THESE ARE ALL IDEAS THAT HAVE COME UP AT SOME POINT FROM SOMEONE, EITHER FROM ONE OF YOU OR SOMEONE IN OUR COMMUNITY OR SOMEBODY ON STAFF, SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE AT LEAST OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE EXPLORED AND THAT ARE POTENTIALLY ON THE TABLE.

GO AHEAD, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING.

>> THIS IS MORE [INAUDIBLE] WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE ASKING THAT IT NOT JUST BE ATHLETIC, THAT IT BE ACROSS THE BOARD? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING.

>> OH, NO, ABSOLUTELY. I GET YOU.

NO, WHAT I WAS PROPOSING OR SUGGESTING, CAN WE LOOK INTO OTHER REVENUE STREAMS? NOW, GRANTED, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE HAS TO BE EQUAL AMOUNT EVERY KID NO MATTER WHAT YOU PLAY PAYS $250.

THERE'S SOMEONE WE CAN COME UP WITH A METHODOLOGY, LOOKING AT ECONOMIES OF SCALE [INAUDIBLE] OR WHAT WE'RE DOING.

BUT EVERYONE MAY BE IN A POSITION, BY HAVING EVERYONE CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING, CAN POSSIBLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT THAT A SMALL PORTION OF GROUP IS ASKED TO PAY AND EVEN IF IT DOESN'T, PEOPLE TEND TO FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT EVERYONE HAS SKIN IN THE GAME.

IF WE ISOLATE AND DON'T HAVE ACROSS THE BOARD PARTICIPATION, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME HARD FEELINGS, NO MATTER WHAT.

EVEN FROM THE FACT FROM THE CHROMEBOOKS, FACILITY RENTALS, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH, BUT THE FAIR BASE BUS IN UNDER 2 MILES, EVERYONE WILL FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE BEING SINGLED OUT.

BUT IF WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THERE'S SOME TYPE OF METHODOLOGY, SOME TYPE OF FORMULA WHERE EVEN IT'S ONLY $10, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE FEELING.

IT'S A FEELING AS IF WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER, WE'RE ALL FISCO ISD, IT'S NOT A ATHLETIC IS CARRYING A BURDEN OR THE BAND IS CARRYING A BURDEN OR SOME OTHER GROUP, A CHESS TEAM SUFFERS EVERY TIME [INAUDIBLE] $500.

THAT'S WHY I WAS GOING WITH THAT IS THAT, CAN WE DEVELOP A METHODOLOGY? IS THERE A WAY TO FIGURE OUT SMALL BASE FEE OR SOMETHING, CONTRIBUTION FEE? WHATEVER, YOU CAN CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT TO.

IF IT'S POSSIBLE, YES, IF NOT THEN WE'LL SAVE A LOT OF PAINS BECAUSE THERE ARE GOING TO BE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE WAY WHAT I'M HEARING TODAY JUST [INAUDIBLE] A LITTLE IS THE CHROMEBOOKS.

YOU'RE RIGHT NOW ASKING $5 A YEAR.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING, $5 A YEAR FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS TO TAKE CARE OF A TECHNOLOGY DEVICE THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY.

I'M ASKING YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY.

[01:45:04]

>> ARE YOU SAYING RAISE THE CHROMEBOOK FEE BY $5? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

>> I'M JUST STATING WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING AND THAT IS FRESHMAN HIGH SCHOOLERS ARE PAYING $5 A YEAR, $20 FOR FOUR YEARS TO HAVE A CHROMEBOOK.

TECHNICAL DEVICE THAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP IN GOOD CONDITION FOR FOUR YEARS AND THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.

WE'RE DOING IN HOUSE, AM I STATING IT CORRECTLY? [OVERLAPPING].

>> ARE YOU PROPOSING A REPAIR FEE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, A REPAIR FEE?

>> I'M SAYING IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE.

I'M NOT PROPOSING ANY AMOUNT.

I'M JUST SAYING IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

>> IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> INCREASE THAT NUMBER TO 30 OR 40 AND THEN THAT DECREASES THE REQUIREMENT FOR ATHLETIC FEE BUDGET.

>> WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.

>> I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

>> YOU ALL HAVE TURNED AND MADE ME THE ATHLETIC CHAMPION THAT I AM TRYING TO SAY ATHLETICS AND MAKE EVERYBODY ELSE PAY THE PAIN.

ATHLETIC IS AN OPTION, THE CHROMEBOOKS ARE MANDATORY.

>> I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT'S ALSO LIKE RENEE SAID, IT IS A TECHNOLOGY ITEM THAT IS REQUIRED.

I GET ALL OF THE ARGUMENT.

NOBODY WANTS TO BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, KEITH, ABOUT THE LINE ITEM.

I WAS THROWING IT OUT THERE BECAUSE I WAS [INAUDIBLE] WITH WHAT RENEE WAS SAYING, SEEMS LOW AND I THINK OUR PUBLIC COULD STOMACH HEARING, I GOT TO PAY AN EXTRA $10 AS A NINTH GRADER OR EVEN ALL FOUR YEARS, WHATEVER, STRUCTURE IT HOWEVER, TO GET ACROSS THE BOARD VERSUS THE ATHLETIC FEE.

I DON'T KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT, THAT'S ALL I WAS [INAUDIBLE] THERE.

>> WHAT I'M HEARING SO FAR, YOU GUYS CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

WHAT I'M HEARING SO FAR IS THERE'S NO APPETITE TO HAVE INVADER RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S SOME CONSTERNATION OVER THE ATHLETICS OPERATIONS FEE AS WE HAD IT IN 2017, WHICH IS WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT COMES FROM.

THE FAIR BASED SPACING IS TRULY JUST A SERVICE THAT PEOPLE CAN ELECT TO PAY FOR, SO I DON'T HEAR A LOT OF CONSTERNATION OVER THAT IDEA.

THAT'S JUST PURELY AN OPPORTUNITY TO GENERATE REVENUE FOR A SERVICE THAT CURRENTLY ISN'T PROVIDED.

THE CHROMEBOOK FEES, I'M HEARING, MAYBE WE GET BACK TO YOU WITH A CONCRETE, THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD CHARGE, THIS IS HOW MANY FEES WE WOULD COLLECT THAT THING, WE COULD PUT THAT IN HOME BASE FOR YOU.

THE FACILITY RENTALS, I'M HEARING, YES, WE SHOULD BE MORE COMPETITIVE AND MAYBE WE SHOULD EVEN TAKE IT BEYOND THE 300,000.

CELL TOWER LEASES, I HAVEN'T HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THAT.

ARE THERE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT ONE?

>> I WAS GOING TO ADD ON THAT ONE.

I THOUGHT THAT EACH TOWER WOULD GENERATE A LITTLE MORE REVENUE, 5,000 A YEAR, BUT I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT, I KNOW THAT WAS CONTROVERSIAL AT ONE TIME, I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT.

I'M JUST GOING TO GO BACK TO THE CHROMEBOOKS FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE I DO HAVE A NINTH GRADER AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE FEE, THAT'S WHY I HAD TO ASK HOW MUCH I PAID BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER.

I WILL, NOW THAT YOU TOLD ME IT WAS $20, THAT DOES SEEM VERY LOW, SO I GET IT.

I THINK THE THING I WOULD ALSO SAY THOUGH IS IF MY CHILD BREAKS THE CHROMEBOOK, I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN JUST THE $20.

WHETHER THAT'S INSURANCE OR MAYBE IT'S A DEPOSIT RIGHT THAT YOU PAY AND THEN IF YOU DAMAGE THE CHROMEBOOK, YOU DON'T GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THESE ARE KIDS AND I KNOW THEY BREAK THINGS, BUT I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MY STUDENT WITH WHATEVER SHE DAMAGES OR BREAKS, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, SO FOR NOT DOING THAT, I UNDERSTAND MAYBE MAKING SOME EXCEPTIONS FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH FAMILIES, BUT IF MY CHILD BREAKS HER CHROMEBOOK, I WOULD JUST ASSUME THAT I WAS EXPECTED TO REPLACE THAT FOR THE DISTRICT.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S MANDATORY, BUT $20 IS LOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS. OR HOW MUCH IT PAID.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE CELL TOWER, INSTALL IT, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

>> YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW CELL TOWER [INAUDIBLE]

>> ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE CELLPHONE TOWERS?

>> ON A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE CELLPHONE TOWERS?

TYPICALLY, WHEN YOU GO INTO A CELL TOWER LEASE, IT'S A 30 YEAR LEASE, SO ONE OF THE DOWNSIDES FOR US AS A DISTRICT IS YOU'RE LOOKING AT A 30 YEAR COMMITMENT WITH THIS GROUP.

THE OTHER DOWNSIDE I WILL TELL YOU IS THESE [INAUDIBLE] AND COMPANIES WHO [INAUDIBLE] OR SEE THEM, SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO KEEP UP WITH WHO OUR POINT OF CONTACT IS WHEN WE HAVE [INAUDIBLE] ISSUES ON SITE.

TYPICALLY, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A 36-45 THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR INITIAL PAYMENT AND THEN EVERY FIVE YEARS, YOU GET ABOUT A 10% ESCALATION FEE OVER THE COURSE OF THE TERM OF THAT CONTRACT.

THEY CAN ALSO CO-LOCATE, MEANING AT&T WANTS A TOWER AT LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD, THEY CAN THEN SELL RIGHTS TO TWO OR THREE OTHER COMPANIES.

THEY PUT ADDITIONAL TOWERS ON THAT SITE AND WE GET ADDITIONAL REVENUE FROM THAT SITE AS WELL.

BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE HISTORY AND YOU GO BACK TO A COBB MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHICH WAS THE FIRST ONE AND THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE PLACED ON A CAMPUS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMIND PEOPLE TODAY, CELL TOWERS ARE A LOT DIFFERENT AND IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY WATER TOWER IN THE CITY OF FRISCO THAT ARE SITTING RIGHT OUTSIDE OF NEIGHBORHOODS, RIGHT BY OUR SCHOOLS, THERE ARE CELL TOWERS ON EVERY WATER TOWER WRAPPED ALL THE WAY AROUND THEM.

THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH DR FAUCI, MYSELF.

WE KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF ZONES WITHIN THE CITY OF FRISCO WHERE CELL COVERAGE IS LACKING, THEY WOULD LOVE FOR US TO OFFER SOME SOLUTIONS TO HELP THEM IN THIS.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT NUMBER, I THINK KIM SAID SIX CELL TOWERS, I'M NOT SITTING HERE SAYING WE COULD PUT A CELL TOWER ON ALL 77 [INAUDIBLE] THE CELL TOWER COMPANIES DON'T NEED THEM AT ALL [INAUDIBLE] I THINK WE COULD EASILY HIT 10-15 SITES PRETTY QUICKLY WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO, WAY MORE THAN THAT SIX THAT SHE'S SAYING, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO WHEN WE GO CELL TOWER LEASE IS WE'RE COMMITTING 30 YEARS AND THEY PRETTY MUCH HAVE ALL RIGHTS TO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO WITH THAT PROPERTY [INAUDIBLE] CELL TOWER SITS ON.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW CELL COVERAGE IS IN THIS TOWN, I FEEL WE HOLD A LOT OF CARDS IN THIS SITUATION [INAUDIBLE].

I WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT CONTRACT TO BE IN OUR FAVOR, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE CAN'T GET IN CONTACT WITH WHOEVER, THEN YOU'VE HAD SO MANY DAYS BEFORE YOUR CONTRACT IS DONE, OR I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY NOT MY THING, BUT ALSO I KNOW BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED, THEY WERE THE ONES IN CHARGE BECAUSE WE WERE SO DESPERATE TO HAVE COVERAGE.

BUT ALSO, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ABIDE BY ALL THE RULES AND THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO US, NOT VICE VERSA, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

I DON'T KNOW, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT OR IS IT REALLY ONCE WE SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE, THEY GET FREE FOR ALL WITH OUR ASSET?

>> WELL, ONCE WE SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE, IT'S THEIR ASSET.

THEY'RE THE ONES, THE CELL TOWER COMPANY IS COMING IN AND PUTTING UP HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FINANCE AND PUT THAT CELL TOWER, GET IT OPERATIONAL.

NO COSTS THAT WE INCUR, WE JUST GET ROYALTIES PRETTY MUCH OFF OF THAT.

WHEN I SAY THE DIFFICULTY WITH THEM IS, IF WE KNOW THE CONTACT, WE WORK WITH THEM VERY WELL.

IT'S JUST WHEN THAT CONTACT CHANGES, SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS [INAUDIBLE] HUNT AND [INAUDIBLE] REALLY WORK TO FIGURE THAT.

FOR EXAMPLE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A CELL TOWER THAT WE HAVE THAT HAS NOT MADE PAYMENT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WE ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO TALK TO, SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENT OR WE'RE ABOUT TO CUT POWER TO YOUR CELL TOWER.

IT'S JUST NOT AS EASY IF IT WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS LOCAL [INAUDIBLE].

ONE OF THE THINGS, THREE, FOUR, FIVE YEARS AGO, BEFORE WE WENT OUT OF THE CELL TOWER BUSINESS, THERE ARE COMPANIES OUT THERE WHO WILL COME IN AND MANAGE THIS WHOLE THING FOR US.

OF COURSE, THEY'RE GOING TO GET A CUT OF THAT REVENUE, BUT OPERATIONALLY, THERE WOULD BE SOME VALUE IF WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO DIG INTO THIS AT A LARGER SCALE, TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE COMPANIES SUPPORT US IN THAT, BUT THAT'S CONVERSATIONS WE CAN HAVE WITH YOU MOVING FORWARD.

>> WE WILL PUT TOGETHER MORE DETAILED INFORMATION FOR YOU ALL ON THE CHROMEBOOK FEES, THE FARE-BASE BUSING, THE FACILITY RENTALS AND THE CELL TOWERS.

I WANT TO SPEND THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES LETTING

[01:55:01]

JUST ONE THING THAT WE WANT YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS THERE HAVE BEEN I THINK IN ALMOST ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS THAT I HAD WITH YOU GUYS ON THE BUDGET, THE IDEA OF ADVERTISING ON DISTRICT ASSETS CAME UP.

ASHLEY'S GROUP HAS PUT TOGETHER A MENU OF THINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY ADVERTISE ON OR SELL ADVERTISING RIGHTS TO VERSUS THINGS THAT WE COULD DO.

BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE ALSO COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASING OUR ABILITY TO SELL ADVERTISING SPACE ON DISTRICT ASSETS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING.

IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OF THESE, WE'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER SOME OF THE TRADE OFFS.

>> THANKS. YOU WILL HAVE THE PAPER IN FRONT OF YOU.

THE HIGHLIGHTED COLORS MEAN TWO THINGS.

YELLOW IS WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING.

WE'RE SELLING THE NEWSLETTER ADS.

PARENT ENGAGEMENT IS OUR NEWEST NEWSLETTER.

THAT'S OFF TO A SLOW START.

ANYTIME YOU START ADVERTISING SOMETHING, IT'S A SLOW START AND THEN IT TICKS UP THE SECOND OR THIRD YEAR.

WE ALSO DO THE ATHLETIC NEWSLETTER AND THE COMMUNITY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU SEE REGULARLY.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE DO ALREADY IS THE VIDEO BOARD, THE KIRKENDALL VIDEO BOARD SCOREBOARD.

THAT'S PRETTY REGULAR.

THOSE ARE BRINGING IN ABOUT 133,000 A YEAR.

WE DO WORK WITH THOSE ADVERTISERS.

PARK PLACE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.

THE STARS, ECU, PLACES LIKE THAT, WE THROW IN A NEWSLETTER AD OR SOMETHING HERE AND THERE WITH THOSE SCOREBOARD ADS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTS, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT OUR CURRENT FULL TIME EMPLOYEE COULD ADD RIGHT NOW.

THE BIGGEST ONE ON THERE IS BUS ADVERTISING.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GOING AHEAD AND STARTING THIS.

IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT LOOK, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT.

THIS YEAR, IT WOULD TAKE TIME TO ESTABLISH BUS ADVERTISING.

WE THINK WE COULD GET A FEW ADS IN THERE.

WE'VE ALREADY TALKED TO OUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR JARED.

THERE ARE WAYS TO DO PREMIUM BUS ADS, THE CTE BUSES, FOR EXAMPLE, WHICH ARE RUNNING ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

THOSE WOULD BE OUR FIRST TARGETS, AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER ONES THAT WE WOULD THINK ABOUT FIELD TRIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE TALKED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING MORE INTERNAL FOR ACCESS FRISCO, FRISCO FLEX, ESPECIALLY ON BUSES THAT GO ON FIELD TRIPS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD NOW ARE THE KIRKENDALL CONCESSION STAND SPONSORSHIPS.

THEY'RE MOSTLY JUST BANNERS THAT STAND RIGHT THAT LIVE RIGHT BY THE CONCESSION STANDS.

THEY ARE PRETTY EASY. THE OTHER ONE IS THE KIRKENDALL ENTRANCE ADVERTISING.

WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING BANNERS UP ON THE FENCE LINE RIGHT THERE.

BUT WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETING WITH ATHLETICS TO GO OVER ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAD IN MIND, THEY POINTED OUT THAT BANNERS WON'T LIVE VERY LONG.

WE WERE ALREADY LOOKING AT THESE A FRAME TENTS THAT SIT ON THE FIELD.

THEY'RE ABOUT FIVE FEET LONG OR SO, JUST DEPENDS ON THE SIZE WE GET.

THOSE ARE ABOUT $600 EACH AND WE COULD TAKE THOSE TO DIFFERENT PLACES.

IT DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE AT KIRKENDALL ENTRANCE, IT COULD ALSO BE AT THE NATTORIUM ENTRANCE.

IT COULD ALSO BE AT A HIGH SCHOOL GYM ENTRANCE IF WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM SOME MORE ADVERTISING.

THOSE ARE ALL THE THINGS WE THINK WE CAN DO WITH OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES SET UP.

THE REST OF THE LIST IS THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN EXTRA FULL TIME EMPLOYEE, AN EXTRA FT. WE DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT.

I WILL ALSO SAY THIS, THE BEST ADVERTISING WILL ONLY GO SO FAR WITH THAT ONE EMPLOYEE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT HER FULL TIME JOB, IT IS PART OF HER JOB.

KEEP THAT IN MIND.

I THINK WE COULD TAKE OFF WITH BUS ADS IF THAT IS SOMETHING OUR COMMUNITY ENDED UP REALLY LIKING.

WE WOULD HAVE TO LIMIT OUR POTENTIAL THERE.

YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH THE REST OF IT ON THE LIST? THERE ARE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH ONE.

WE MENTIONED THE COSTS OUT TO THE SIDE OF THE THINGS WE'D LIKE TO START NOW.

THE REST OF IT, WE DO HAVE SOME COST IN MIND.

SOME OF THE LOW HANGING FRUIT IS LIKE HOMETOWN TICKETING, THINGS THAT WE COULD GET IN WITH ATHLETICS RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL OF OUR FINE ARTS OPPORTUNITIES ARE GOING TO BE WITH THE VISUAL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER OPENING.

A COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHERE YOU MAKE THE BIG MONEY, THOSE ARE NAMING RIGHTS.

WE WOULD NEED TO GET A TEAM TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT NAMING RIGHTS.

TTE CENTER CAME UP, VISUAL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER CAME UP.

YOU CAN NAME THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

THE STADIUM IS ALREADY NAMED, BUT YOU COULD LOOK AT THE FIELD.

YOU CAN START LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW FAR YOU WANT TO GO.

WHAT IS IT? FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY?

>> I JUST WANT TO ADD REALLY QUICK TO THIS AND THEN I'LL LET ASHLEY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.

AGAIN, ADVERTISING IS SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP IN ALMOST ALL OF OUR INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS.

IT COMES UP QUITE OFTEN.

[02:00:01]

WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR GENERATING $30,000 A YEAR ON ONE MENU ITEM, BUT IT'S GOING TO COST MANPOWER AND THAT KIND OF THING, IS THAT REALLY WHERE WE NEED TO BE PUTTING OUR RESOURCES? BUT WE DIDN'T WANT YOU GUYS TO THINK THAT WE HADN'T EXPLORED WHAT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE.

AGAIN, UP FOR DISCUSSION, BUT RIGHT NOW, THE ONES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED ARE WHERE WE COULD EXPAND WITH THE CURRENT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS OFFICE.

>> ONE MORE THING BEFORE I OPEN TO QUESTIONS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM UNDER CONSIDERATIONS, THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT COME WITH ADVERTISING, ALL THE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE.

WE HAVE TO MANAGE THOSE ASSETS, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE POLICING THEM TO A POINT.

DIFFERENT IMPACTS. THINK ABOUT OUR BOOSTER CLUBS.

THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO FUND RAISE PTA, FEF.

ALL OF THOSE IMPACTS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

THEY MIGHT SEE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE ON A BUS, FOR EXAMPLE, INSTEAD OF WITH THE BOOSTER CLUB, AND THEY ONLY HAVE SO MANY ADVERTISING DOLLARS.

REMEMBER, THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY ADVERTISING DOLLARS OUT THERE.

MAYBE WE FIND SOME MORE.

WE IDENTIFY MORE OPPORTUNITY.

YES. BUT IN A WAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT CANNIBALIZING. KEITH, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

>> QUICK QUESTION. CAN WE CONSIDER POSSIBILITY AND FOLLOW ME HERE.

IF WE HAD A VOLUNTEER PROFESSIONAL, WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE AREA THAT DO MARKETING ALL THE TIME, THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO BE ON A MARKETING TEAM, AND THEN HIRE AN ACTUAL EMPLOYEE TO IMPLEMENT THE SUGGESTIONS THAT THEY MAY COME UP WITH.

THE EMPLOYEE, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE EMPLOYEE, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FULL TIME HIGHER LEVEL MARKETING PERSON.

THEIR JOB IS JUST BLESS YOU IS TO IMPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS THAT MIGHT COME FROM A VOLUNTEER GROUP, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE AREA THAT HAVE MARKETING EXPERTISE.

THEY HAVE KEYS IN THE AREA, PROBABLY WOULD LOVE TO BE ON THE TEAM.

WE WOULDN'T BE ASKING THEM TO DO SOMETHING FULL TIME.

JUST GET TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH VARIOUS PORTFOLIOS OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO HELP OUT.

>> I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING JUST TO COME UP WITH THE IDEA AND THEN THE EMPLOYEES EXECUTE.

THERE IS A LOT OF MANAGEMENT THAT GOES ON WITH ADVERTISING, SO ESPECIALLY WITH THE BUS ADS.

WE WERE LOOKING AT CIFAR IST, THAT WAS A GOOD MODEL THAT WE LOOKED INTO.

THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE.

IT'S THE CONSTANT UPKEEP.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BUS ADS WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG ON THE BUS? WE'VE GOT TO REPLACE IT.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BUS IS DOWN AND SOMEONE'S GOT TO CONTACT OUR DONOR.

IT'S THE DAILY AND THE WEEKLY MANAGEMENT OF EACH ONE THAT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE MORE TIME AND REQUIRE AN FT.

I SEE WHERE YOU'RE SAYING AND THEY HAVE IDEAS, LET US KNOW.

>> YOU NEED ONE FTE YOU'RE SAYING?

>> WE WOULD NEED ONE IF TO IMPLEMENT EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED.

NOW, IT COULD BE ONE OF THOSE MAKE IT A BUSINESS, SEE HOW IT DOES AND KEEP GOING.

BUT AGAIN, YOU'RE NOW PAYING AN EXPENSE FOR AN EMPLOYEE.

>> MARKUP BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR IS ROUGHLY $300,000, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT FT COSTS FOR US A YEAR.

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT, SORRY, STEPHANIE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR MARKET IS HUNGRY FOR.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO WORK AND MAYBE WE DECIDE THAT WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON BUS ADS BECAUSE THAT WORKED OR MAYBE THOSE AREN'T WORKING AT ALL, AND WE NEED TO GO THIS WAY.

WE WOULD NEED SOME FLEXIBILITY TO CONSIDER ALL THAT, STEPHANIE.

>> I THINK THAT THE APPROACH TO PHASE IS A WISE ONE BECAUSE I KNOW WE DO SOME OF THIS ALREADY, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GO 0-60.

TODAY I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GET INTO THE MERITS OF THE REGULAR ONE AND WHICH ONES WE SHOULD DO AND WHICH ONES WE SHOULDN'T.

MAYBE IT'S WHAT YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED.

MAYBE THERE ARE SOME CHANGES OR SUBSTITUTIONS TO MAKE, BUT I DO THINK WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND MAYBE WE PHASE IT IN AND EVENTUALLY AS WE SEE HOW THINGS GO, MAYBE WE WOULD SEE THE PROGRAM DOES MERIT IN FTE.

I THINK ALSO BENCHMARKING AGAINST OTHER DISTRICTS, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE DONE TO SOME DEGREE, BUT I WOULD CONTINUE TO DO TO SEE BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, IT WOULD BE HARD TO PULL BACK.

I ALSO DON'T WANT US TO GO FROM JUST DOING A FEW THINGS TO 100 THINGS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S ALSO

[02:05:01]

I DO THINK THAT THAT APPROACH IS WISE, THOUGH WE CAN MAYBE REVISIT THIS AND COME BACK WITH SOMETHING CONCRETE, BUT I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH IT.

>> I ALSO AGREE AS TO THE PHASED APPROACH BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOUR POINT ABOUT THE CANNIBALIZATION ETA OR FEF.

I THINK COULD BE REAL CONSIDERING OUR SIZE, PHASE AND FEF IT HAS MAYBE A PHASED APPROACH CAN HELP US TO THE IMPACT, IF ANY, ON THAT WITH HURTING IN THAT WAY.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS TO, THIS JUST REITERATES ASHLEY'S POINT, BUT WITH ANY NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING RIGHT NOW, WE ARE BEING VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL STAFF BEFORE WE SEE THAT THE PROGRAM IS GENERATING REVENUE.

I THINK WE WOULD ALL RECOMMEND THAT WE TAKE A SIMILAR APPROACH.

HERE'S YOUR THAT WE CAN START EXPLORING AND WE CAN BABY STEP THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE SAY, LET'S DO ALL THE THINGS AND HIRE A PERSON THAT I THINK MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF OURSELVES.

>>HELLO. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.

YOU DID MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF HIRING SOMEONE.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS BEFORE THAT IS DONE, WE'RE GOING TO.

>> I'M SAYING WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING HIRING A PERSON AND GOING FULL BORE WITH THIS WHOLE MENU RIGHT OUT THE GATE.

WE HAVE THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED ONES ARE THE ONES THAT THEY'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH NOW AND HAVE THE CAPACITY TO START DOING.

WE WOULD RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THOSE, AND THEN IF WE SEE THAT THERE'S SOME CAPACITY EITHER WITH ASHLEY'S TEAM OR JUST IN THE DISTRICT TO TAKE ON ONE OR TWO MORE OF THESE THINGS OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, THEN WE DO THOSE AND WE SEE IF THE REVENUE IS THERE AND WE BABY STEP IT BEFORE WE CONSIDER HIRING ANOTHER PERSON JUST TO SELL AD SPACE.

>> WITH THE CURRENT STAFF THAT WE HAVE, I UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED ITEMS. BASED ON THEIR FEEDBACK, WE'RE GOING TO BUILD UP TO IT.

BUT I REALLY LIKE THE POINT THAT KEITH MADE WITH BRINGING IN A VOLUNTEER BASE.

CAN WE DO THAT WITH OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES AND SEE IF WE CAN BUILD FROM THERE?

>> WHY DON'T YOU LET US TALK ABOUT THAT IDEA A LITTLE BIT? I THINK WE NEED TO FLESH OUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

YOU DEFINITELY CAN HAVE VOLUNTEERS GENERATING IDEAS, BUT LIKE I MENTIONED, WHEN IT COMES TO ACTUALLY MANAGING IT, THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOMEBODY THAT MANAGES IT ONCE IT'S SOLD, SO WE MIGHT NEED TO TALK THAT THROUGH.

BUT WE CAN GET BACK TO YOU GUYS ON THAT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THE LAST THING THAT I HAVE BEFORE WE LEAVE IS JUST THE BUDGET ADOPTION CALENDAR.

WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND PUT TOGETHER SOME MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THOSE REVENUE GENERATING OPTIONS THAT YOU GUYS DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF HEART BURN OVER.

WE'LL PUT THOSE IN HOME BASE AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER THEM AGAIN PUBLICLY AT THE NEXT WORKSHOP.

WE STARTED THIS IN DECEMBER WITH OUR INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS.

WE'VE GIVEN YOU NOW THE PRELIMINARY PERSONNEL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING TEACHING POSITIONS BASED ON ENROLLMENT DECLINE, AND THEN WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE REVENUE GENERATING OPTIONS.

I'M NOT PLANNING TO HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP IN FEBRUARY BECAUSE WE WILL BE REVIEWING CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENT BUDGETS AND LOOKING AT CHANGES THAT WE CAN MAKE THERE AND ADDITIONAL BUDGET SAVINGS OPTIONS THROUGH DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IN MARCH, I EXPECT TO HAVE OUR SECOND BUDGET WORKSHOP WHERE WE'LL GO OVER ADDITIONAL COST SAVINGS IDEAS.

WE'LL ALSO REVISIT OUR DEBT STRATEGY BECAUSE REMEMBER YOU GUYS HAVE TO ADOPT THE DEBT SERVICE BUDGET AS WELL.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR DEBT STRATEGY THEN.

IN APRIL, THAT'S REALLY BUSIEST MONTH WITH BUDGET PLANNING.

WE GET PEER BENCHMARKING USUALLY IN APRIL UNLESS THE STATE RELEASES IT LATE.

BUT USUALLY WE GET THAT IN APRIL.

WE'LL DO COMPENSATION REVIEW IN APRIL, WE'LL GET PRELIMINARY CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES IN APRIL, SO THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION.

WE'LL HAVE THE THIRD BUDGET WORKSHOP TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL OR FIRST WEEK OF MAY TO COVER ALL OF THAT INFORMATION.

[02:10:01]

WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE BUDGET WORKSHOP, MID MAY, IF WE NEED TO, WE MAY NOT NEED TO.

LAST YEAR, I THINK WE ENDED UP JUST PUTTING THE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS IN HOME BASE FOR YOU ALL BECAUSE THERE WASN'T REALLY MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT IN PERSON.

THEN IN JUNE, WE'LL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE REGULAR JUNE BOARD MEETING, AND THEN WE'LL SCHEDULE A SPECIAL MEETING FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO ADOPT THE FINAL BUDGET, AND THEN WE'LL PUBLISH ALL OF OUR STUFF.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ON THE TIMELINE? THIS IS OUR TYPICAL TIMELINE, BUT I THINK LAST YEAR'S BUDGET DIDN'T FOLLOW THE TYPICAL TIMELINE, SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ALL KNEW WHERE WE WERE HEADED.

>> CAN YOU GO BACK TO WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS THAT WERE LISTED IN MORE DETAIL?

>> WE WILL PUT THOSE FOR YOU GUYS IN HOME BASE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT WE'LL DISCUSS THEM PUBLICLY AT THE MARCH BUDGET WORKSHOP.

PROBABLY BE AFTER SPRING BREAK.

IT'LL PROBABLY BE LATE MARCH.

ANY QUESTIONS? THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

>> 7:13, WE ADJOURN.
