Present.
00:19:10.471 --> 00:19:11.599
Dr. Robinson?
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:12.432
Here.
00:19:12.432 --> 00:19:13.282

Here.
00:19:14.433 --> 00:19:15.620
Chair Bahorich?
00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.870
Here.
00:19:32.520 --> 00:19:37.103
Members, I just wanted to make sure that there were no
00:19:37.996 --> 00:19:40.770
adjustments that needed to be made for the minutes
00:19:40.770 --> 00:19:42.937
from our November meeting.
00:19:45.288 --> 00:19:46.281
Hearing none.
00:19:46.281 --> 00:19:49.996
Minutes are approved as submitted to us.
00:19:49.996 --> 00:19:54.300
And now we have a bunch of terrific resolutions today
00:19:54.300 --> 00:19:58.347
and proclamations, presentations, so I believe Ms. Perez,
00:19:58.347 --> 00:19:59.536
you are on.
00:19:59.536 --> 00:20:00.999
Thank you.
00:20:00.999 --> 00:20:02.272
Our first resolution is
00:20:02.272 --> 00:20:04.907
for Employers for Education Excellence.
00:20:04.907 --> 00:20:09.574
So I will ask for the BLGY Architecture firm's President,
00:20:10.755 --> 00:20:13.755
Mr. Benny Hawkins, to please join us.
00:20:29.887 --> 00:20:30.720
You're gonna go--
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.381
It's kind of hard to get in at the circle,
00:20:32.381 --> 00:20:34.139
but we're gonna invite you in. (laughing)
00:20:34.139 --> 00:20:35.488
Stretch my legs.
00:20:35.488 --> 00:20:37.486
Yeah, that's a little bit more challenging
00:20:37.486 --> 00:20:39.653
than it looks there, okay.
00:20:42.438 --> 00:20:43.438
Thank you.
00:20:59.597 --> 00:21:02.570
Whereas parents and employers play a key role
00:21:02.570 --> 00:21:03.719
in supporting public schools,
00:21:03.719 --> 00:21:05.641
and whereas mentoring children can have
00:21:05.641 --> 00:21:08.783
a lifelong impact on students' lives,
00:21:08.783 --> 00:21:10.859
and whereas the Texas Legislature recognized
00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:13.701
this important school-parent business partnership
00:21:13.701 --> 00:21:16.393
when it created the Employers for Education Excellence
00:21:16.393 --> 00:21:18.384
Award in 2007,
00:21:18.384 --> 00:21:21.541
and whereas BLGY Architecture of Austin met
00:21:21.541 --> 00:21:23.671
and exceeded the requirements to be recognized
00:21:23.671 --> 00:21:25.888
at the highest level for this award,
00:21:25.888 --> 00:21:28.935
and whereas about 30% of the firm's employees participate
00:21:28.935 --> 00:21:32.095
in mentoring and other school-related volunteer activities
00:21:32.095 --> 00:21:34.977
in the Round Rock and Austin school districts
00:21:34.977 --> 00:21:37.323
and works with the Austin Community College,
00:21:37.323 --> 00:21:39.940
and whereas the firm has developed workshops
00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:42.455
that teach students about topics such as
00:21:42.455 --> 00:21:45.406
collaboration, punctuality, and respect,
00:21:45.406 --> 00:21:49.183
and whereas BLGY participated in a ground-breaking pilot
00:21:49.183 --> 00:21:52.739
project that taught students green building principles,
00:21:52.739 --> 00:21:55.833
and whereas the firm has hosted networking opportunities
00:21:55.833 --> 00:21:58.764
for students and offered externships for teachers,
00:21:58.764 --> 00:22:01.371
now, therefore, be it resolved that
00:22:01.371 --> 00:22:04.136
the State Board of Education urges Texas businesses
00:22:04.136 --> 00:22:08.035
to look upon BLGY Architecture and it's President,
00:22:08.035 --> 00:22:11.767
Mr. Benny Hawkins as role models for civic engagement.
00:22:11.767 --> 00:22:14.538
And be it further resolved that the State Board of Education
00:22:14.538 --> 00:22:18.500
today awards BLGY Architecture the Gold
00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:20.992
Employers for Education Excellence award
00:22:20.992 --> 00:22:23.902
for its generous and continuing support
00:22:23.902 --> 00:22:26.475
of Central Texas students and teachers.
00:22:26.475 --> 00:22:28.264
Witness our signatures this first day
00:22:28.264 --> 00:22:31.181
of February, 2019 in Austin, Texas.
00:22:32.018 --> 00:22:33.548
Chair Mrs. Donna Bahorich.
00:22:33.548 --> 00:22:35.795
Secretary Georgina Perez.
00:22:35.795 --> 00:22:36.628
Thank you.
00:22:37.646 --> 00:22:40.646
(Audience clapping)
00:22:45.014 --> 00:22:48.153
Of the best and can everyone hear me okay?
00:22:48.153 --> 00:22:49.903
No not yet.
00:22:52.959 --> 00:22:53.792
There you go.
00:22:53.792 --> 00:22:54.625
Okay, how's that?
00:22:54.625 --> 00:22:56.345
Good.
Better.
00:22:56.345 --> 00:22:59.812
Well certainly I would like to first of all thank you
00:22:59.812 --> 00:23:03.293
so much for all this recognition, and I'll like
00:23:03.293 --> 00:23:05.863
to make you aware of some other folks
00:23:05.863 --> 00:23:08.273
who have certainly made this possible.
00:23:08.273 --> 00:23:10.105
And since my wife and I have been married
00:23:10.105 --> 00:23:13.421
for a half century, I'd better recognize her for having me
00:23:13.421 --> 00:23:15.482
away from home working with students.
00:23:15.482 --> 00:23:18.774
So my wife, Beatrice Hawkins, would you please stand?
00:23:18.774 --> 00:23:21.774
(audience clapping)
00:23:23.831 --> 00:23:26.755
I have two wonderful partners who work very hard
00:23:26.755 --> 00:23:30.492
and put themselves right at ground level zero with students.
00:23:30.492 --> 00:23:34.381
We have Ms. Lakshiminaryan, my partner.
00:23:34.381 --> 00:23:37.294
And my other partner, Mark Brown.
00:23:37.294 --> 00:23:39.192
The three of us own the firm.
00:23:39.192 --> 00:23:43.018
And we personally participate in the activities.
00:23:43.018 --> 00:23:45.638
We don't just give it to our staff.
00:23:45.638 --> 00:23:49.439
I would just like to say that part of the drive
00:23:49.439 --> 00:23:53.522
that we have for this is because we actually know
00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:57.673
that teachers care an awful lot.
00:23:57.673 --> 00:23:59.892
We almost have to run 'em out the door when they come
00:23:59.892 --> 00:24:01.817
and stay with us.
00:24:01.817 --> 00:24:04.412
The students the same way.
00:24:04.412 --> 00:24:07.826
But they love what we do on campus, off campus.
00:24:07.826 --> 00:24:10.732
We know we need to help because we've already proven
00:24:10.732 --> 00:24:13.433
by a prior award received from the organization
00:24:13.433 --> 00:24:17.015
Recognize Good that it's the ethical thing to do
00:24:17.015 --> 00:24:18.510
to give money back to the community
00:24:18.510 --> 00:24:20.451
that enables you to make a living.
00:24:20.451 --> 00:24:22.615
And two years ago, we received that award,
00:24:22.615 --> 00:24:24.266
so we kind have to live up to that too.
00:24:24.266 --> 00:24:26.803
But we didn't know the award even existed
00:24:26.803 --> 00:24:28.270
for about 10 years just as we didn't know
00:24:28.270 --> 00:24:29.484
this award existed.
00:24:29.484 --> 00:24:31.295
So what we've done, we've actually stumbled
00:24:31.295 --> 00:24:33.591
in to these awards.
00:24:33.591 --> 00:24:35.841
We happen to know that the,
00:24:38.232 --> 00:24:41.649
I guess, the cornerstones of our society,
00:24:42.485 --> 00:24:44.452
education and equal opportunity.
00:24:44.452 --> 00:24:48.952
And the part about education, we want to do our share.
00:24:49.995 --> 00:24:53.412
I've been blessed to come from an origin
00:24:54.346 --> 00:24:58.263
of a segregated school that couldn't cross town
00:24:59.730 --> 00:25:03.921
to a half decade later, be spending time and money
00:25:03.921 --> 00:25:06.635
to the other side of town.
00:25:06.635 --> 00:25:10.867
And the 18 years of education from K-12 to higher ed,
00:25:10.867 --> 00:25:13.517
combined with equal opportunity where the firm I'm with,
00:25:13.517 --> 00:25:16.528
where I've been for 30 years has been gracious enough
00:25:16.528 --> 00:25:19.151
to let me come in and grow, and learn, and prosper,
00:25:19.151 --> 00:25:22.176
so I can share those returns
00:25:22.176 --> 00:25:24.986
that is the epitome of our society,
00:25:24.986 --> 00:25:27.190
education and equal opportunity.
00:25:27.190 --> 00:25:30.526
Thank you for providing the incentive for firms
00:25:30.526 --> 00:25:32.807
to receive this recognition.
00:25:32.807 --> 00:25:35.960
Yes, everyone needs a little love sometimes
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.528
(audience laughing) and we appreciate
00:25:37.528 --> 00:25:39.994
this plaque in addition to this love.
00:25:39.994 --> 00:25:41.730
And so my wife is gonna say, now shut up,
00:25:41.730 --> 00:25:42.590
you've said enough.
00:25:42.590 --> 00:25:43.423
(audience laughing)
00:25:43.423 --> 00:25:47.506
So with that, I will just hug this and cherish it
00:25:48.403 --> 00:25:51.308
and thank you again for having us with you today.
00:25:51.308 --> 00:25:52.141
(audience clapping)
00:25:52.141 --> 00:25:52.974
May I get that?
00:25:52.974 --> 00:25:53.807
Yes.
00:25:55.398 --> 00:25:56.873
Okay.
00:25:56.873 --> 00:25:58.332
Thank you sir.

00:28:42.295 --> 00:28:46.942
Ms. Brenda Williams of the Argyle Intermediate School
00:28:46.942 --> 00:28:50.335
of the Argyle Independent School District, Argyle, Texas
00:28:50.335 --> 00:28:52.876
for being named State Finalists in the Science category
00:28:52.876 --> 00:28:55.626
for the 2018 Presidential Awards.
00:28:56.823 --> 00:28:59.975
And be it further resolved that this resolution be presented
00:28:59.975 --> 00:29:02.995
to the aforementioned teachers for being identified
00:29:02.995 --> 00:29:05.835
as state and national finalists
00:29:05.835 --> 00:29:09.135
for the 2018 Presidential Awards for Excellence
00:29:09.135 --> 00:29:11.676
in Mathematics and Science Teaching Program.
00:29:11.676 --> 00:29:14.524
And that a copy be included in the permanent records
00:29:14.524 --> 00:29:17.163
of the State Board of Education.
00:29:17.163 --> 00:29:20.970
Witness our signatures this first day of February, 2019
00:29:20.970 --> 00:29:22.265
in Austin, Texas.
00:29:22.265 --> 00:29:23.887
Chair Mrs. Donna Bahorich.
00:29:23.887 --> 00:29:26.170
Secretary Georgina Perez.
00:29:26.170 --> 00:29:27.765
Thank you.
00:29:27.765 --> 00:29:30.765
(audience clapping)
00:30:32.899 --> 00:30:35.817
All those in favor of the resolution recognizing
00:30:35.817 --> 00:30:38.117
the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics
00:30:38.117 --> 00:30:40.000
and Science Teaching, say aye.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.548
Aye.
00:30:41.548 --> 00:30:44.107
Congratulations to all of our recipients.
00:30:44.107 --> 00:30:48.440
That's, what a service you provide for our children.
00:30:49.436 --> 00:30:54.269
Next resolution I believe in this case is Mr. Tom Maynard.
00:31:38.313 --> 00:31:43.079
Madame Chairman, the time has come for the reveal
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.768
of the winning Permanent School Fund.
00:31:45.768 --> 00:31:49.268
Not quite yet, but when the time has come.
00:31:51.127 --> 00:31:54.705
The winning Permanent School Fund logo, and recognize
00:31:54.705 --> 00:31:58.633
both of the students who emerged as the top two entrants
00:31:58.633 --> 00:32:00.216
in our competition.
00:32:01.273 --> 00:32:05.498
Now we began this journey earlier this year in an effort
00:32:05.498 --> 00:32:07.469
to cultivate greater brand awareness
00:32:07.469 --> 00:32:09.531
for Permanent School Fund.
00:32:09.531 --> 00:32:13.071
The Permanent School Fund is the nations largest
00:32:13.071 --> 00:32:17.738
educational endowment in it's history of its development
00:32:18.762 --> 00:32:22.285
is a story replete with stories of vision
00:32:22.285 --> 00:32:25.762
and passion encouraged as those who established
00:32:25.762 --> 00:32:29.762
this remarkable legacy for young Texans battled,
00:32:30.790 --> 00:32:35.470
and fought to establish the foundations of what we now enjoy
00:32:35.470 --> 00:32:37.062
with the Permanent School Fund.
00:32:37.062 --> 00:32:39.110
And there are also tales of financial, political,
00:32:39.110 --> 00:32:43.527
and judicial intrigue at the highest levels in places
00:32:44.548 --> 00:32:47.899
like the White House and the Supreme Court.
00:32:47.899 --> 00:32:49.731
It is quite a story.
00:32:49.731 --> 00:32:52.096
And it is quite a legacy.
00:32:52.096 --> 00:32:54.919
Yet, very few Texans know very much
00:32:54.919 --> 00:32:57.885
about the Permanent School Fund.
00:32:57.885 --> 00:33:00.350
One impediment to this brand awareness is the fact
00:33:00.350 --> 00:33:02.482
that Permanent School Fund really
00:33:02.482 --> 00:33:04.929
didn't have it's own identity.
00:33:04.929 --> 00:33:06.213
It didn't have it's own brand.
00:33:06.213 --> 00:33:08.238
It didn't have, and so when we would share things
00:33:08.238 --> 00:33:12.726
on social media, people weren't exactly sure what that was.
00:33:12.726 --> 00:33:16.106
And so we set about to remedy the situation,
00:33:16.106 --> 00:33:17.992
and while we could've solicited the services
00:33:17.992 --> 00:33:19.572
of professional graphic artists,
00:33:19.572 --> 00:33:21.322
and there are plenty of those,
00:33:21.322 --> 00:33:24.879
instead we looked to the students of Texas
00:33:24.879 --> 00:33:29.596
and launched the Brand the Fund Student Art Competition.
00:33:29.596 --> 00:33:31.908
And in doing so, we would just wanted to,
00:33:31.908 --> 00:33:35.321
also we'd be remiss if we did not recognize
00:33:35.321 --> 00:33:37.809
the efforts of the Texas Art Educators Association,
00:33:37.809 --> 00:33:39.494
Sarah Chapman is here.
00:33:39.494 --> 00:33:42.946
Also the Texas Career and Technical Association,
00:33:42.946 --> 00:33:46.418
the Texas Industrial Vocational Association,
00:33:46.418 --> 00:33:49.403
those are the CTE folks that do graphic design,
00:33:49.403 --> 00:33:52.317
our region service centers and each of the members
00:33:52.317 --> 00:33:54.998
of the State Board of Education who promoted that,
00:33:54.998 --> 00:33:56.844
who made phone calls, who sent out emails,
00:33:56.844 --> 00:33:58.609
thank you for that.
00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:01.973
In the end, we had 521 entries that came in
00:34:01.973 --> 00:34:03.530
from the state of,
00:34:03.530 --> 00:34:05.558
across the state of Texas.
00:34:05.558 --> 00:34:08.377
I know this board appointed Laurie Wieghat
00:34:08.377 --> 00:34:10.888
as our facilitating graphic artist, and her husband, Tyler,
00:34:10.888 --> 00:34:12.877
who is a computer programmer,
00:34:12.877 --> 00:34:15.986
designed an online platform to allow the committee
00:34:15.986 --> 00:34:19.820
to sift and sort through, view each of those entries,
00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:21.785
and to cast their votes.
00:34:21.785 --> 00:34:24.542
We also need to recognize Catherine Civiletto
00:34:24.542 --> 00:34:26.716
of the PSF staff.
00:34:26.716 --> 00:34:29.918
Ms. Molly Branch who is also a graphic artist.
00:34:29.918 --> 00:34:33.970
Sarah Tucker, Lisa Gouveia with TEA communications,
00:34:33.970 --> 00:34:38.224
and other graphic artists who were on the committee,
00:34:38.224 --> 00:34:41.450
who vetted all these out, and then sifted through them.
00:34:41.450 --> 00:34:44.528
Also we wanna recognize the Texas Leadership Center.
00:34:44.528 --> 00:34:47.866
We asked each of the members of the State Board of Education
00:34:47.866 --> 00:34:50.699
to chip in to create a cash award.
00:34:54.256 --> 00:34:58.834
These, no state funds, no public funds were used to do this.
00:34:58.834 --> 00:35:02.377
But all personal funds contributed by individual members
00:35:02.377 --> 00:35:04.431
of the State Board of Education.
00:35:04.431 --> 00:35:06.816
We always say, well we wanted to contribute a member,
00:35:06.816 --> 00:35:08.643
a part of our salary.
00:35:08.643 --> 00:35:09.476
(audience laughing)
00:35:09.476 --> 00:35:12.516
And so, for those of you don't know,
00:35:12.516 --> 00:35:16.256
that this is a volunteer position, so.
00:35:16.256 --> 00:35:18.175
So we are down to two.
00:35:18.175 --> 00:35:21.656
And we'd like to recognize first, from Vandergift High School
00:35:21.656 --> 00:35:25.156
in Leander ISD, Ms. Spandana Kamepelli is,
00:35:29.436 --> 00:35:31.518
if you'll raise your hand, and from Vandergift.
00:35:31.518 --> 00:35:33.426
She is one of the final two.
00:35:33.426 --> 00:35:36.759
And standing with her is Ms. Lori Quick.
00:35:40.916 --> 00:35:45.475
And Ms Wendy Sturdevant who's an Assistant Principal.
00:35:45.475 --> 00:35:48.517
And also then from Dripping Springs ISD,
00:35:48.517 --> 00:35:52.079
Ms. Melissa Richardson with her Art Teacher, Mr. Jay Bates.
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:56.083
And we would always, we always need to remember that
00:35:56.083 --> 00:35:58.208
when we recognize students is that
00:35:58.208 --> 00:36:00.683
there were professional educators, teachers,
00:36:00.683 --> 00:36:02.874
who mentored and help make that possible.
00:36:02.874 --> 00:36:05.886
So I think it's completely appropriate to do that.
00:36:05.886 --> 00:36:10.063
So at this time I've asked the Chair of the Board and
00:36:10.063 --> 00:36:12.780
the Vice-Chair of the Board who are standing on either side
00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:17.780
and we are going to reveal the new logo and so if I can
00:36:18.064 --> 00:36:20.776
get you to do that, ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:20.776 --> 00:36:25.276
we don't have a drum roll but you may reveal the logo,
00:36:27.727 --> 00:36:31.810
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:36:35.194 --> 00:36:36.427
They didn't know.
00:36:36.427 --> 00:36:37.385
The young ladies didn't know?
00:36:37.385 --> 00:36:38.218
No.
00:36:41.013 --> 00:36:45.549
It's worth noting that neither of the top two knew who
00:36:45.549 --> 00:36:49.966
the winner was and by the way, it's worth noting that
00:36:52.043 --> 00:36:56.799
the Board considered 10 and that the margin of victory
00:36:56.799 --> 00:36:58.303
was one vote.
00:36:58.303 --> 00:36:59.456
Yes.
00:36:59.456 --> 00:37:00.787
It was very close.
00:37:00.787 --> 00:37:03.906
And so Madam Chair, it's at this time that
00:37:03.906 --> 00:37:07.073
it's my honor to read this resolution.
00:37:08.893 --> 00:37:11.494
Whereas the Permanent School Fund origins and story
00:37:11.494 --> 00:37:13.768
is one interwoven into the rich Texas history,
00:37:13.768 --> 00:37:15.790
replete with Texans who fiercely believed
00:37:15.790 --> 00:37:18.271
in the vital importance of public education,
00:37:18.271 --> 00:37:20.655
beginning with those who declared their devotion
00:37:20.655 --> 00:37:23.057
in the 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence
00:37:23.057 --> 00:37:27.338
and in the 1845, in the Constitution of 1845,
00:37:27.338 --> 00:37:28.936
further demonstrated this commitment,
00:37:28.936 --> 00:37:31.754
establishing the state's first Constitution
00:37:31.754 --> 00:37:33.930
Perpetual Fund for the support of public,
00:37:33.930 --> 00:37:36.515
of the free public schools.
00:37:36.515 --> 00:37:39.066
And whereas Texans further proved their allegiance
00:37:39.066 --> 00:37:41.720
to public free schools through support of the fund,
00:37:41.720 --> 00:37:43.924
by committing two million dollars in US Bonds
00:37:43.924 --> 00:37:46.924
from the Compromise of 1850 in 1854,
00:37:48.367 --> 00:37:53.367
half of the state's 88 million acre public domain in 1873
00:37:53.635 --> 00:37:58.635
and the mineral estate of Texas' submerged lands in 1939.
00:37:58.796 --> 00:38:02.854
And whereas Texans successfully staved off attempts to seize
00:38:02.854 --> 00:38:05.568
and divert the Fund's legacy to future generations
00:38:05.568 --> 00:38:08.239
in political battles and litigation at the highest levels
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:09.663
of the United States government.
00:38:09.663 --> 00:38:11.799
And whereas the Permanent School Fund has, since 1855,
00:38:11.799 --> 00:38:15.269
made distributions to Texas schools and has for generations
00:38:15.269 --> 00:38:16.855
provided for free textbooks
00:38:16.855 --> 00:38:20.438
and now supports school district technology.
00:38:20.438 --> 00:38:23.149
And whereas since 1983, the Permanent School Fund
00:38:23.149 --> 00:38:25.396
has made possible for local schools,
00:38:25.396 --> 00:38:28.549
capital facility additions and improvements by guaranteeing
00:38:28.549 --> 00:38:30.357
of local bonds.
00:38:30.357 --> 00:38:32.488
And whereas through prudent stewardship,
00:38:32.488 --> 00:38:34.013
the Permanent School Fund has prospered
00:38:34.013 --> 00:38:38.138
and become the nation's largest educational endowment.
00:38:38.138 --> 00:38:40.103
And whereas given the fund's unique history
00:38:40.103 --> 00:38:43.735
and vital importance in the state's school finance system,
00:38:43.735 --> 00:38:46.229
the State Board of Education deemed it most appropriate
00:38:46.229 --> 00:38:47.757
for the Permanent School Fund to have
00:38:47.757 --> 00:38:49.683
it's own distinct brand identity.
00:38:49.683 --> 00:38:53.068
And whereas the State Board of Education looked
00:38:53.068 --> 00:38:56.149
to the state's students to create suitable artwork
00:38:56.149 --> 00:38:59.209
to represent the Fund and initiated the Brand the Fund
00:38:59.209 --> 00:39:01.522
Student Art Competition.
00:39:01.522 --> 00:39:04.310
And whereas 442 students representing independent school
00:39:04.310 --> 00:39:06.696
districts and charter schools from across the state
00:39:06.696 --> 00:39:08.964
submitted 521 unique entries.
00:39:08.964 --> 00:39:13.115
And whereas a judging panel comprised of professional
00:39:13.115 --> 00:39:15.384
graphic artists and representatives of the State Board
00:39:15.384 --> 00:39:17.698
of Education, Permanent School Fund,
00:39:17.698 --> 00:39:21.154
and Texas Education Agency carefully considered the merits
00:39:21.154 --> 00:39:23.511
of each entry and selected 10 finalists
00:39:23.511 --> 00:39:24.348
from the field of entries.
00:39:24.348 --> 00:39:27.347
And whereas the State Board of Education selected artwork
00:39:27.347 --> 00:39:29.422
submitted by Melissa Richardson,
00:39:29.422 --> 00:39:31.745
a sophomore student at Dripping Springs High School
00:39:31.745 --> 00:39:33.445
in Dripping Springs Independent School District
00:39:33.445 --> 00:39:35.487
as the winning entry.
00:39:35.487 --> 00:39:39.986
And the artwork submitted by Spandana Kamepelli,
00:39:39.986 --> 00:39:42.152
a junior student at Vandergift High School
00:39:42.152 --> 00:39:44.450
in the Leander ISD, as a contest runner up.
00:39:44.450 --> 00:39:46.882
Therefore, oh that was a mouthful wasn't it?
00:39:46.882 --> 00:39:47.965
It was.
00:39:47.965 --> 00:39:51.564
Be it resolved that the State Board of Education
00:39:51.564 --> 00:39:56.564
congratulates Spandana Kamepelli of Vandergift High School
00:39:56.949 --> 00:39:59.233
as the runner up of the Brand the Fund Student
00:39:59.233 --> 00:40:04.233
Art Competition and recognize her art instructor Lori Quick.
00:40:05.441 --> 00:40:06.982
I think I missed one right?
00:40:06.982 --> 00:40:08.453
That's actually hers.
00:40:08.453 --> 00:40:12.374
Be it resolved that the State Board of Education
00:40:12.374 --> 00:40:14.984
congratulates Melissa Richardson of Dripping Springs
00:40:14.984 --> 00:40:17.640
High School as the winner of the Brand the Fund

Student Art Competition and recognizes her art instructor,
00:40:21.461 --> 00:40:23.292
Mr. Jay Bates.
00:40:23.292 --> 00:40:25.252
Be it further resolved that the State Board of Education
00:40:25.252 --> 00:40:28.307
also recognizes Ben Meyer of Austin ISD,

00:40:45.110 --> 00:40:46.956
whose logos were among the 10 finalists
00:40:46.956 --> 00:40:48.366
in the Brand Fund Competition.
00:40:48.366 --> 00:40:51.555
And be it further resolved that the State Board of Education
00:40:51.555 --> 00:40:53.532
congratulates all contest entrants for their creative
00:40:53.532 --> 00:40:56.338

to promote the contest
00:41:00.188 --> 00:41:03.605
and facilitate the student participation.
00:41:04.878 --> 00:41:08.875
And be it further resolved that the State Board authorizes
00:41:08.875 --> 00:41:10.872
the Texas Education Staff to immediately begin using
00:41:10.872 --> 00:41:12.637
Melissa Richardson's winning logo on
00:41:12.637 --> 00:41:16.220
the Permanent School Fund Branded material.
00:41:17.581 --> 00:41:20.581
(audience clapping)
00:41:32.113 --> 00:41:33.738
That looks like a golf tournament.
00:41:38.498 --> 00:41:41.488
You can get closer if you need to.
00:41:41.488 --> 00:41:43.004
Can we get closer?
00:41:43.004 --> 00:41:43.837
Yeah.
00:41:43.837 --> 00:41:44.670
You can stand over here.
00:41:44.670 --> 00:41:48.503
(Georgina and woman mumbling)
00:41:56.771 --> 00:41:59.155
We're gonna put all these pictures online
00:41:59.155 --> 00:42:00.472
for you also.
00:42:00.472 --> 00:42:02.438
All these, they go online.
00:42:02.438 --> 00:42:03.938
Thank you.
00:42:08.543 --> 00:42:09.640
With their check?
00:42:09.640 --> 00:42:11.398
I can ask them if they can stand over here
00:42:11.398 --> 00:42:12.769
or into the lobby.
00:42:12.769 --> 00:42:13.944
Okay, okay.
00:42:13.944 --> 00:42:16.594
(audience chatting and picture taking)
00:42:16.594 --> 00:42:18.034
Is that an official photographer?
00:42:18.034 --> 00:42:20.359
Yes, he's our (mumbling).
00:42:20.359 --> 00:42:22.150
So if I ask him he should get--
00:42:22.150 --> 00:42:24.908
Oh yes, mm-hmm, he'll give it to you.
00:42:24.908 --> 00:42:27.367
I think he'll give it to you for free, I think.
00:42:27.367 --> 00:42:30.217
I know they go online so that they get to show,
00:42:30.217 --> 00:42:35.050
and they're live within 30 minutes, it'll be online, yeah.
00:42:36.482 --> 00:42:38.457
Yeah (giggling).
00:42:38.457 --> 00:42:41.374
(members chatting)
00:42:46.007 --> 00:42:48.691
Are you crying?
00:42:48.691 --> 00:42:49.941
Are you crying?
00:42:51.282 --> 00:42:52.890
Is that your daughter?
00:42:52.890 --> 00:42:55.015
Wow, well I'd be proud too.
00:42:55.015 --> 00:42:59.305
I mean the entire State of Texas, she's one girl, of what,
00:42:59.305 --> 00:43:01.842
I think there's like 2.3 million high school students.
00:43:01.842 --> 00:43:02.675
Something to be proud of.
00:43:02.675 --> 00:43:03.935
We're gonna keep her.
00:43:03.935 --> 00:43:05.490
You like her that much.
00:43:05.490 --> 00:43:06.323
It sounds good.
00:43:06.323 --> 00:43:10.323
(members and audience chatting)
00:43:25.182 --> 00:43:26.918
And members all those in favor
00:43:26.918 --> 00:43:27.751
of the resolution recognizing the Permanent School Fund
00:43:27.751 --> 00:43:30.168
logo contest winners say aye.
00:43:34.059 --> 00:43:36.000
Aye.
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.214
Alright congratulations.
00:43:37.214 --> 00:43:39.897
This is a really big deal.
00:43:39.897 --> 00:43:42.598
I don't even know what the latest figures are,
00:43:42.598 --> 00:43:44.722
but we saved Texas School Districts,
00:43:44.722 --> 00:43:46.760
because of the Permanent School Fund, millions
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.299
of dollars that otherwise would go
00:43:49.299 --> 00:43:50.796
towards interest payments.
00:43:50.796 --> 00:43:54.379
Because we backed school bonds that help to
00:43:58.487 --> 00:44:01.968
both remodel facilities and to build new facilities.
00:44:01.968 --> 00:44:05.916
So the Texas School Fund in addition to supporting all
00:44:05.916 --> 00:44:09.290
our instructional materials and textbooks in the classroom,
00:44:09.290 --> 00:44:13.377
and technology in the classroom also backs the school bonds.
00:44:13.377 --> 00:44:17.203
So it's a unique thing that's part of what Texas does.
00:44:17.203 --> 00:44:20.101
Or I don't even know if there are other states that have
00:44:20.101 --> 00:44:22.963
an educational endowment like Texas does,
00:44:22.963 --> 00:44:25.428
but it's incredibly important to our students
00:44:25.428 --> 00:44:30.235
and we gave over two billion dollars over the next biennium
00:44:30.235 --> 00:44:31.567
just this last year.
00:44:31.567 --> 00:44:35.827
Directly to, that will go directly for supporting schools.
00:44:35.827 --> 00:44:37.972
So the branding of the Fund is very important
00:44:37.972 --> 00:44:41.865
to the State Board and we're very excited about this.
00:44:41.865 --> 00:44:43.372
Alright, I think we have--
Madam Chair?
00:44:43.372 --> 00:44:44.865
Yes, Mr. Maynard.
00:44:44.865 --> 00:44:47.889
We have one more related to this,
00:44:47.889 --> 00:44:50.552
this particular project.
00:44:50.552 --> 00:44:51.802
Okay.
00:44:54.123 --> 00:44:57.623
And I failed to recognize Bruce Gearing,
00:44:58.755 --> 00:45:00.345
the Superintendent of Schools at Dripping Springs.
00:45:00.345 --> 00:45:01.545
Where is Bruce?
00:45:01.545 --> 00:45:04.051
Bruce, congratulations.
00:45:04.051 --> 00:45:07.144
Thank you for being here today.
00:45:07.144 --> 00:45:10.384
Members, I have one other resolution
00:45:10.384 --> 00:45:12.671
and one other presentation to make.
00:45:12.671 --> 00:45:16.514
And I will not read the entire text of the resolution
00:45:16.514 --> 00:45:18.652
'cause it's pretty much like the,
00:45:18.652 --> 00:45:20.254
let me just get to the resolve.
00:45:20.254 --> 00:45:22.729
And you heard all the thing about that,
00:45:22.729 --> 00:45:26.792
but whereas Laurie Wieghat of College Station-based
00:45:26.792 --> 00:45:29.497
Wieghat Graphics graciously offered her services
00:45:29.497 --> 00:45:31.964
as a volunteer providing technical assistance in drafting
00:45:31.964 --> 00:45:35.384
rules, selection criteria, identifying and engaging industry
00:45:35.384 --> 00:45:38.188
professionals to serve on the judging panel,
00:45:38.188 --> 00:45:40.857
coordinating selection committee conference calls,
00:45:40.857 --> 00:45:43.590
and making final edits to the winning designs.
00:45:43.590 --> 00:45:46.347
And whereas Tyler Wieghat of the same firm graciously
00:45:46.347 --> 00:45:49.041
lent to the process his programming skills
00:45:49.041 --> 00:45:52.466
in the development of an online platform through which
00:45:52.466 --> 00:45:55.154
judging panelists could quickly and easily review
00:45:55.154 --> 00:45:57.825
521 entries submitted from across the state
00:45:57.825 --> 00:45:59.665
and to make and submit their selections
00:45:59.665 --> 00:46:01.995
to be considered by the full panel.
00:46:01.995 --> 00:46:04.740
Whereas this first ever student competition launched
00:46:04.740 --> 00:46:06.901
and executed by the State Board of Education could not
00:46:06.901 --> 00:46:09.126
have operated as seamlessly and effectively
00:46:09.126 --> 00:46:13.252
without the selfless service of these two Texans.
00:46:13.252 --> 00:46:16.558
Now be it hereby resolved that the State Board of Education
00:46:16.558 --> 00:46:19.762

in excellence with the stature
00:46:37.851 --> 00:46:40.504

00:51:32.533 --> 00:51:35.099
a wonderful dinner last night that
00:51:35.099 --> 00:51:37.674
the students hosted for us.
00:51:37.674 --> 00:51:39.102
Believe it or not, and I don't know why
00:51:39.102 --> 00:51:40.926
because we're really nice people,
00:51:40.926 --> 00:51:42.707
we don't get invited to things.
00:51:42.707 --> 00:51:43.540
(audience laughing)
00:51:43.540 --> 00:51:47.033
And so this was, it's always an honor
00:51:47.033 --> 00:51:49.321
that our annual dinner that we get invited
00:51:49.321 --> 00:51:52.039
to with our Career and Technical education students.
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.798
And every year we go away with this,
00:51:55.798 --> 00:52:00.093
just excitement about knowing that the future
00:52:00.093 --> 00:52:02.759
is in great hands because of the kind of students
00:52:02.759 --> 00:52:04.738
that you see particularly involved
00:52:04.738 --> 00:52:08.564
in the Career and Technical education organizations.
00:52:08.564 --> 00:52:10.923
And it's always our honor and a blessing.
00:52:10.923 --> 00:52:12.416
And you always leave ready,
00:52:12.416 --> 00:52:15.037
ready to go when you meet with them for dinner,
00:52:15.037 --> 00:52:18.787

00:55:15.141 --> 00:55:15.974
Sorry.
00:55:15.974 --> 00:55:16.807

00:55:20.770 --> 00:55:21.921
Sorry before we moved on,
00:55:21.921 --> 00:55:23.285
I was just notified by staff
00:55:23.285 --> 00:55:24.643
and I'm sorry everybody's leaving,
00:55:24.643 --> 00:55:27.226
but I just had to say out loud.
00:55:28.306 --> 00:55:31.983
So Ms. Angelica Nino who was one of our Math finalists
00:55:31.983 --> 00:55:34.238
across the State was the very first person in history
00:55:34.238 --> 00:55:37.279
to ever submit her application in full Spanish.
00:55:37.279 --> 00:55:40.198
And so, it's really incredible and I thought
00:55:40.198 --> 00:55:42.381
it was worth noting, so thank you to staff
00:55:42.381 --> 00:55:44.015
for letting me know and I'm sorry I think
00:55:44.015 --> 00:55:44.848
she's already left the room,
00:55:44.848 --> 00:55:48.072
but I thought it was pretty incredible she's made history,
00:55:48.072 --> 00:55:49.826
so that's pretty great.
00:55:49.826 --> 00:55:52.334
It's always impressive when you make history, right?
00:55:52.334 --> 00:55:55.334
(audience clapping)
00:55:56.393 --> 00:55:58.509

00:58:41.804 --> 00:58:42.868
A quick personal privilege while

00:58:43.701 --> 00:58:44.745
Pardon me.
00:58:44.745 --> 00:58:45.920
I just wanted to announce and welcome,
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:49.616
we have from Texas State University from the Dr. Sandra West
00:58:49.616 --> 00:58:50.449
and Dr. Kenn Heydrick.
00:58:50.449 --> 00:58:53.715
We have five of our future scientists here today

and I want you all to please stand and thank you for
00:58:55.052 --> 00:58:56.695
being real interested in public education.
00:58:56.695 --> 00:58:58.294
This is your State Board, please stand.
00:58:58.294 --> 00:59:00.472
Thank you, Madam Chair.
00:59:00.472 --> 00:59:03.472
Thank you for being with us today.
00:59:11.341 --> 00:59:15.483
Okay and I believe Ms. Martinez has some things,
00:59:15.483 --> 00:59:18.358
we' were waiting to hear back from staff on this item.
00:59:18.358 --> 00:59:21.101
Yes ma'am, so during committee discussion,
00:59:21.101 --> 00:59:25.351
there was some question around the language related
00:59:26.788 --> 00:59:30.552
to the English III and English IV requirements
00:59:30.552 --> 00:59:33.494
as they relate to International Baccalaureate courses.
00:59:33.494 --> 00:59:37.936
We indicated that we would work on some clarifying language
00:59:37.936 --> 00:59:41.639
and bring that back to you today for consideration,
00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:44.230
and so if the Board would like to make
00:59:44.230 --> 00:59:47.154
these additional changes, then they would be reflected
00:59:47.154 --> 00:59:52.154
in the proposal for first reading and filing authorization.
00:59:52.437 --> 00:59:54.103
Yes, Mr. Rowley.
00:59:54.103 --> 00:59:56.768
I move that we accept the amendments
00:59:56.768 --> 01:00:00.683
that have been submitted by staff this morning.
01:00:00.683 --> 01:00:02.350
Second.
01:00:03.945 --> 01:00:06.028
Any further discussion?
01:00:07.385 --> 01:00:10.849
And this was the only recommendation?
01:00:10.849 --> 01:00:11.682
It's my understanding
01:00:11.682 --> 01:00:12.819
that was the only outstanding issue.
01:00:12.819 --> 01:00:13.652
Yes ma'am.
01:00:13.652 --> 01:00:14.509
The only outstanding issue.
01:00:14.509 --> 01:00:16.856
Was there, were there any other amendments or concerns
01:00:16.856 --> 01:00:19.356
that members had on this item?
01:00:22.187 --> 01:00:27.187
That being the case, so it's been moved to recommend
01:00:27.284 --> 01:00:31.284
to the State Board of Education and Amend 74.13,
01:00:33.485 --> 01:00:35.402
F1E, to read as follows.
01:00:37.064 --> 01:00:38.028
Oh, we've already.
01:00:38.028 --> 01:00:40.257
Whoops sorry, I'm not at the main motion.
01:00:40.257 --> 01:00:42.757
Let me get to the main motion.
01:00:44.134 --> 01:00:46.230
Mr. Rowley, I wanna make sure I'm looking at the right thing.
01:00:46.230 --> 01:00:49.026
Yeah, we haven't voted on the amendment yet.
01:00:49.026 --> 01:00:51.975
Okay let's go, yes, that's true.
01:00:51.975 --> 01:00:54.307
Let's go ahead and adopt that amendment.
01:00:54.307 --> 01:00:57.157
All those in favor of the amendments in front of you that
01:00:57.157 --> 01:01:00.511
staff just gave us with the yellow highlight.
01:01:00.511 --> 01:01:02.698

01:01:14.759 --> 01:01:17.524

01:03:19.269 --> 01:03:21.887
so I am going to since we are done with
01:03:21.887 --> 01:03:23.477
Committee of the Full Board Minutes.
01:03:23.477 --> 01:03:27.006
I'm gonna go ahead and have our testifiers speak
01:03:27.006 --> 01:03:27.890
at this time.
01:03:27.890 --> 01:03:32.084
And testifiers, it'll be a three minute testimony
01:03:32.084 --> 01:03:35.866
and you will hear a bell 30 seconds before the end
01:03:35.866 --> 01:03:38.568
of the three minutes to alert you that you need
01:03:38.568 --> 01:03:42.450
to start making sure that you wrap up your comments
01:03:42.450 --> 01:03:44.812
and then when you hear the second bell
01:03:44.812 --> 01:03:46.738
which will be actually two bells,
01:03:46.738 --> 01:03:49.931
you'll know that the time has run out.
01:03:49.931 --> 01:03:52.052
And so if you could literally finish your sentence
01:03:52.052 --> 01:03:54.286
and then members will ask any questions
01:03:54.286 --> 01:03:57.821
if they have some questions of the testifier.
01:03:57.821 --> 01:04:00.704
So let's go ahead and do our testifiers.
01:04:00.704 --> 01:04:03.037
Jeanette LaFevers.
01:04:12.315 --> 01:04:14.066
And just for the audiences,
01:04:14.066 --> 01:04:17.015
just for those tuned in, when we have testimony on
01:04:17.015 --> 01:04:21.097
Fridays, it can never be on the actual agenda items
01:04:21.097 --> 01:04:22.863
on the agenda.
01:04:22.863 --> 01:04:26.250
It has to be related to items not on our agenda.
01:04:26.250 --> 01:04:28.621
Things to know about.
01:04:28.621 --> 01:04:32.371
Or that folks want to bring to our attention.
01:04:37.453 --> 01:04:38.705
Go ahead Jeanette.
01:04:38.705 --> 01:04:39.800
Good morning again.
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:41.726
It's good to be here.
01:04:41.726 --> 01:04:45.519
I, we'll have Margaret will come up here in a few moments
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:49.331
and hopefully we can take questions at the end of that.
01:04:49.331 --> 01:04:51.575
I just want to thank you again for the actions
01:04:51.575 --> 01:04:55.589
that you've taken in regards to International Baccalaureate
01:04:55.589 --> 01:04:56.474
in the State of Texas.
01:04:56.474 --> 01:04:58.936
It seems like an awfully long journey.
01:04:58.936 --> 01:05:01.562
And it seems like we're getting very close to the end of it.
01:05:01.562 --> 01:05:02.757
So we appreciate that.
01:05:02.757 --> 01:05:05.060
I'm handing out to you the same packet that I gave you
01:05:05.060 --> 01:05:07.193
on Tuesday with the exception of
01:05:07.193 --> 01:05:10.809
a couple of additional items that I'll point out to you.
01:05:10.809 --> 01:05:14.231
On Tuesday, we talked about item one and two,
01:05:14.231 --> 01:05:18.247
and I want to make sure that we talk about sort of the one
01:05:18.247 --> 01:05:20.272
unresolved issue that hasn't been addressed
01:05:20.272 --> 01:05:23.997
and that's item three on this packet.
01:05:23.997 --> 01:05:26.461
And that has to do with the IB Arts,
01:05:26.461 --> 01:05:29.173
other than film, which you have dealt with this week.
01:05:29.173 --> 01:05:33.310
Chapter 117 has not been opened for these arts
01:05:33.310 --> 01:05:36.019
and they have not been addressed the way we did
01:05:36.019 --> 01:05:38.201
the other subject areas.
01:05:38.201 --> 01:05:40.672
So our concern is that these be opened
01:05:40.672 --> 01:05:44.857
in a timely manner so that for the next school year
01:05:44.857 --> 01:05:46.619
these changes can take effect.
01:05:46.619 --> 01:05:49.937
So we're asking that this be an agenda item
01:05:49.937 --> 01:05:51.951
for the April meeting.
01:05:51.951 --> 01:05:55.220
In addition, related to that, it bleeds a little bit into
01:05:55.220 --> 01:05:58.103
item two, the endorsements.
01:05:58.103 --> 01:06:01.074
Margaret is going to share with you some information
01:06:01.074 --> 01:06:04.741
we were able to gather about particular,
01:06:05.657 --> 01:06:07.580
particular endorsements that students,
01:06:07.580 --> 01:06:10.530
IB students are pursuing and in particular,
01:06:10.530 --> 01:06:13.803
I'm going to mention the Arts and Humanities
01:06:13.803 --> 01:06:15.808
because it's related to the IB Arts
01:06:15.808 --> 01:06:18.114
that we're talking about here.
01:06:18.114 --> 01:06:22.574
I gave you, if you'll look at the second page.
01:06:22.574 --> 01:06:25.609
I found a document on the TEA website that
01:06:25.609 --> 01:06:28.346
is called Graduation Toolkit--
01:06:28.346 --> 01:06:29.179
Madam Chair.
01:06:29.179 --> 01:06:30.012
Yes.
01:06:30.012 --> 01:06:31.966
The testimony needs to be limited
01:06:31.966 --> 01:06:34.580
to items that you have not already discussed
01:06:34.580 --> 01:06:37.485
so you received testimony and discussed
01:06:37.485 --> 01:06:40.309
the rules related to endorsements already,
01:06:40.309 --> 01:06:42.828
so we just need to be,
01:06:42.828 --> 01:06:45.725
today's testimony should be related only to items
01:06:45.725 --> 01:06:49.475
that have not been previously on this agenda.
01:06:52.826 --> 01:06:55.226
So Jeanette, can you go to that point
01:06:55.226 --> 01:06:57.013
in your thing that might,
01:06:57.013 --> 01:07:00.649
in your handout that might have not to do
01:07:00.649 --> 01:07:02.262
with the endorsements,
01:07:02.262 --> 01:07:06.236
because we already had that on our agenda this week.
01:07:06.236 --> 01:07:09.472
So we will just give you these two documents
01:07:09.472 --> 01:07:13.126
for your perusal, and hopefully we can,
01:07:13.126 --> 01:07:15.737
you can look at those before we have the next meeting
01:07:15.737 --> 01:07:17.904
where it is on the agenda.
01:07:18.806 --> 01:07:22.618
But I can tell you that what we are asking for at this point
01:07:22.618 --> 01:07:26.951
is that the IB Arts, other than Film, be on the agenda
01:07:28.140 --> 01:07:30.148
for consideration at the next meeting.
01:07:30.148 --> 01:07:31.398
Okay.
01:07:37.731 --> 01:07:38.564
Hello.
01:07:40.006 --> 01:07:41.351
Margaret Davis.
01:07:41.351 --> 01:07:42.780
Yes, thank you.
01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:47.263
It's great to be here, and as Jeannette said, we definitely
01:07:47.263 --> 01:07:52.263
want to thank you for all the wonderful work you have done
01:07:52.268 --> 01:07:55.713
for all of our students in Texas in particularly
01:07:55.713 --> 01:07:59.002
for the IB Students in making sure that there's equity
01:07:59.002 --> 01:08:03.454
and access for them in lots of different areas.
01:08:03.454 --> 01:08:07.787
So we've dealt with the film and we congratulate you
01:08:09.065 --> 01:08:10.841
on that component.
01:08:10.841 --> 01:08:13.596
I will tell you that you've opened a lot of doors
01:08:13.596 --> 01:08:17.353
for students in Texas just by the actions that you've taken
01:08:17.353 --> 01:08:20.691
to allow them to have the film.
01:08:20.691 --> 01:08:24.107
We look forward to discussing the credits
01:08:24.107 --> 01:08:27.991
for the other arts with you and we would also request
01:08:27.991 --> 01:08:30.682
that on your next agenda,
01:08:30.682 --> 01:08:34.099
that you include the new IB Math courses.
01:08:35.264 --> 01:08:39.328
We have submitted the course guides already or what we have
01:08:39.328 --> 01:08:42.078
at this point from the IB to TEA.
01:08:43.091 --> 01:08:47.424
These courses will begin implementation in September
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:49.433
for first teaching.
01:08:49.433 --> 01:08:52.534
So our Juniors will begin taking these courses
01:08:52.534 --> 01:08:55.886
in September which means we need to have those
01:08:55.886 --> 01:08:59.053
components in place for math students.
01:09:01.955 --> 01:09:05.787
In that context, those students often want to do,
01:09:05.787 --> 01:09:07.949
the students who are doing the math and science,
01:09:07.949 --> 01:09:12.643
are concerned or would want to also have available
01:09:12.643 --> 01:09:14.975
to them that STEM endorsement,
01:09:14.975 --> 01:09:19.975
so I would ask you to consider that in that context as well.
01:09:25.528 --> 01:09:28.778
Any question of these two testifiers?
01:09:29.650 --> 01:09:31.420
Alright, thank you so much.
01:09:31.420 --> 01:09:33.087
Thank you.
01:09:34.048 --> 01:09:37.798
Ian Wright, followed by Maz Wright.
01:09:57.765 --> 01:09:59.390
Good morning, everybody.
01:09:59.390 --> 01:10:00.223
Go ahead.
01:10:00.223 --> 01:10:01.056
Can you hear me okay?
01:10:01.056 --> 01:10:01.889
Yes, please go ahead.
01:10:01.889 --> 01:10:02.852
Okay good.
01:10:02.852 --> 01:10:03.942
My name is Ian Wright.
01:10:03.942 --> 01:10:06.403
I'm the Vice-President with TPS Publishing.
01:10:06.403 --> 01:10:10.162
TPS and its partners specialize in educator created
01:10:10.162 --> 01:10:12.639
STEM programs for all grade levels.
01:10:12.639 --> 01:10:13.836
As you may know the STEM approach,
01:10:13.836 --> 01:10:17.190
which integrates art and design with STEM disciplines,
01:10:17.190 --> 01:10:20.962
is proven to increase engagement and economic performance
01:10:20.962 --> 01:10:25.014
with socially and economically disadvantaged students.
01:10:25.014 --> 01:10:27.007
As you are aware the Board recently voted
01:10:27.007 --> 01:10:30.351
on TPS's 72 ELAR STEM program submissions
01:10:30.351 --> 01:10:32.587
in response to Proclamation 2019.
01:10:32.587 --> 01:10:37.108
All of which met 100% of the TEKS coverage.
01:10:37.108 --> 01:10:40.087
Data presented at the meeting was not comparable.
01:10:40.087 --> 01:10:44.034
The editorial comments on the TPS materials consisted
01:10:44.034 --> 01:10:47.780
mostly of minor punctuation and typographic issues.
01:10:47.780 --> 01:10:50.087
All of which were corrected by the time of the final
01:10:50.087 --> 01:10:51.708
vote by the Board.
01:10:51.708 --> 01:10:55.027
Also TPS were required to characterize entries related
01:10:55.027 --> 01:10:57.201
to incorrect punctuation and one word changes
01:10:57.201 --> 01:11:00.219
as errors rather than editorial changes
01:11:00.219 --> 01:11:02.845
which was not required of other publishers according
01:11:02.845 --> 01:11:04.178
to our research.
01:11:05.051 --> 01:11:09.083
TPS had 72 program submissions which was 42 submissions
01:11:09.083 --> 01:11:11.099
more than any other publisher,
01:11:11.099 --> 01:11:14.112
which in itself would explain why TPS had more total errors
01:11:14.112 --> 01:11:16.478
than any of it's competitors.
01:11:16.478 --> 01:11:17.836
At the November meeting,
01:11:17.836 --> 01:11:21.468
you were comparing number of edit pages of four,
01:11:21.468 --> 01:11:24.194
sorry four programs submissions by EduSpark
01:11:24.194 --> 01:11:27.337
to 72 program submissions for TPS.
01:11:27.337 --> 01:11:30.027
The average rate of edits is far lower for TPS
01:11:30.027 --> 01:11:32.433
even including the punctuation errors.
01:11:32.433 --> 01:11:35.708
Graph one which is been handed out in front of you
01:11:35.708 --> 01:11:37.182
illustrates the edits per submission,
01:11:37.182 --> 01:11:40.099
including all of TPS's punctuation,
01:11:41.067 --> 01:11:43.506
editorial lines as errors.
01:11:43.506 --> 01:11:46.492
Moreover because TPS's offering included
01:11:46.492 --> 01:11:49.244
the same program in several different formats,
01:11:49.244 --> 01:11:50.719
online, print,
01:11:50.719 --> 01:11:52.775
print with online teacher versions, et cetera,
01:11:52.775 --> 01:11:55.358
a single grade creative program student error
01:11:55.358 --> 01:11:57.861
was counted by this process twelve times.
01:11:57.861 --> 01:12:01.329
For example, an omitted comma in Grade 4 Student Version
01:12:01.329 --> 01:12:04.318
of our creative ELAR program will be replicated
01:12:04.318 --> 01:12:06.763
in your process 12 times.
01:12:06.763 --> 01:12:09.652
For us to make this edit, we change the file once
01:12:09.652 --> 01:12:13.665
which is why we were able to make the edit so quickly.
01:12:13.665 --> 01:12:16.140
This being the case, the vast majority of simple edits
01:12:16.140 --> 01:12:18.565
we reported a very small one time edit,
01:12:18.565 --> 01:12:22.050
but were replicated twelve times in the reporting
01:12:22.050 --> 01:12:24.260
in every instance.
01:12:24.260 --> 01:12:26.193
This is illustrated by graph two.
01:12:26.193 --> 01:12:28.954
You will see that unique edits for both programs
01:12:28.954 --> 01:12:31.523
run at four pages per program submission.
01:12:31.523 --> 01:12:32.923
Whereas due to this replication issue
01:12:32.923 --> 01:12:34.977
in reporting total errors,
01:12:34.977 --> 01:12:38.227
run at 37 pages per program submission.
01:12:39.139 --> 01:12:39.972
Thank you.
01:12:44.221 --> 01:12:47.888
Did anybody have questions for Mr. Wright?
01:12:49.857 --> 01:12:52.206
We're not allowed to ask questions.
01:12:52.206 --> 01:12:53.348
Or well.
01:12:53.348 --> 01:12:56.346
Clarifying statements.
01:12:56.346 --> 01:12:57.179
What?
01:12:57.179 --> 01:12:58.583
You can ask questions if you don't understand.
01:12:58.583 --> 01:13:00.010
We've always done that.
01:13:00.010 --> 01:13:00.843
Clarifying questions.
01:13:00.843 --> 01:13:01.734
Clarifying questions.
01:13:01.734 --> 01:13:02.875
Right.
(woman mumbles)
01:13:02.875 --> 01:13:03.958
Right, right.
01:13:05.766 --> 01:13:06.615
By the way--
01:13:06.615 --> 01:13:07.898
But did anybody have anybody,
01:13:07.898 --> 01:13:11.423
did anybody have anything that they wanted to?
01:13:11.423 --> 01:13:12.256
Thank you.
01:13:12.256 --> 01:13:13.089
Thank you, Mr. Wright.
01:13:13.089 --> 01:13:14.518
Thank you.
01:13:15.351 --> 01:13:19.184
(coughing) Excuse me.
01:13:21.306 --> 01:13:22.603
Well good morning.
01:13:22.603 --> 01:13:23.796
My name is Maz Wright.
01:13:23.796 --> 01:13:26.170
I am President of TPS.
01:13:26.170 --> 01:13:27.917
I spoke to you at the last meeting.
01:13:27.917 --> 01:13:32.764
We sent you a detailed Proclamation 2019 appeal letter,
01:13:32.764 --> 01:13:34.861
which was sent in December,
01:13:34.861 --> 01:13:37.471
which is much longer that we can speak for.
01:13:37.471 --> 01:13:41.317
And TPS writes specifically STEM programs
01:13:41.317 --> 01:13:45.299
for demographically diverse student populations,
01:13:45.299 --> 01:13:48.833
and it's been proven to raise test scores by some 5%,
01:13:48.833 --> 01:13:50.889
but more importantly, allow those students
01:13:50.889 --> 01:13:54.256
to live their lives and conquer the content
01:13:54.256 --> 01:13:57.512
of core subjects of English, Math, and Science.
01:13:57.512 --> 01:14:00.545
We are actually used in over 80 of your school districts
01:14:00.545 --> 01:14:04.730
including the very large Houston and Austin
01:14:04.730 --> 01:14:07.831
school districts, and so we are very capable
01:14:07.831 --> 01:14:09.869
of looking after these districts.
01:14:09.869 --> 01:14:13.048
We met all statutory requirements and we think,
01:14:13.048 --> 01:14:15.345
with respect, that your decision
01:14:15.345 --> 01:14:18.890
which was honestly taken trying to protect your students,
01:14:18.890 --> 01:14:20.528
which we fully understand,
01:14:20.528 --> 01:14:22.618
and we love those students by the way,
01:14:22.618 --> 01:14:25.196
was based upon wrong information.
01:14:25.196 --> 01:14:28.511
It wasn't representing comparable data
01:14:28.511 --> 01:14:30.747
as Ian just explained to you.
01:14:30.747 --> 01:14:33.714
The other part was that was that panelists report comments
01:14:33.714 --> 01:14:36.591
were read out, but there were 18 panelists.
01:14:36.591 --> 01:14:39.007
Only three have negative comments
01:14:39.007 --> 01:14:42.792
and across the two programs, those grade levels
01:14:42.792 --> 01:14:43.948
didn't concur.
01:14:43.948 --> 01:14:45.726
So although there was a negative comment
01:14:45.726 --> 01:14:47.430
on Grade 5 creative,
01:14:47.430 --> 01:14:49.312
there wasn't on the STEM.
01:14:49.312 --> 01:14:52.011
And you, nobody heard that the Grade 1 panelist said
01:14:52.011 --> 01:14:55.964
I really love how detailed and organized this material is.
01:14:55.964 --> 01:14:59.108
It's presented in a cohesive and sequential fashion.
01:14:59.108 --> 01:15:01.227
It's a great resource.
01:15:01.227 --> 01:15:04.677
There were no negative comments for K-4,
01:15:04.677 --> 01:15:07.662
and Grade 6 in either of our programs.
01:15:07.662 --> 01:15:11.070
So we have to ask why we've been deleted
01:15:11.070 --> 01:15:13.070
from the adoption list for all grades
01:15:13.070 --> 01:15:16.994
and not just those where there were negative comments
01:15:16.994 --> 01:15:19.962
if you were erring on the side of caution?
01:15:19.962 --> 01:15:24.022
We also have to ask why, September the 6th,
01:15:24.022 --> 01:15:26.344
if you look at the email, we've given you a copy of,
01:15:26.344 --> 01:15:27.685
at the back page,
01:15:27.685 --> 01:15:32.268
TEA staff asked us to move all of our punctuation edits
01:15:33.410 --> 01:15:35.343
which were in editorial reports, which
01:15:35.343 --> 01:15:37.068
is where all other publishers
01:15:37.068 --> 01:15:39.459
have theirs, to the errors report.
01:15:39.459 --> 01:15:42.707
It doubled the number of our edits.
01:15:42.707 --> 01:15:47.207
Even with those in, our rate is at 7.06 per submission
01:15:49.378 --> 01:15:52.628
versus EduSpark's 12.75 per submission.
01:15:54.041 --> 01:15:56.844
On November the 20, I've forgotten the date,
01:15:56.844 --> 01:15:58.727
one of the Board people said it was
01:15:58.727 --> 01:16:00.796
too much information too late.
01:16:00.796 --> 01:16:03.741
But that information was provided to your staff
01:16:03.741 --> 01:16:07.127
on the day of the meeting, but they did not give it to you.
01:16:07.127 --> 01:16:10.193
I know they were really busy, but we please ask you to have
01:16:10.193 --> 01:16:13.397
a motion to put our two programs at least
01:16:13.397 --> 01:16:15.475
for the grade levels without comment
01:16:15.475 --> 01:16:18.025
onto the State adoption list,
01:16:18.025 --> 01:16:19.694
because school districts are not looking at us
01:16:19.694 --> 01:16:22.288
because we're not on that list.
01:16:22.288 --> 01:16:23.788
Thank you so much.
01:16:26.077 --> 01:16:27.594
Yes Mr. Maynard.
01:16:27.594 --> 01:16:31.844
Madam Chair (audio cutting out),
01:16:32.769 --> 01:16:36.077
Mr. Maska or if someone could just explain that,
01:16:36.077 --> 01:16:38.534
after our process is complete,
01:16:38.534 --> 01:16:39.899
if somebody files a formal appeal,
01:16:39.899 --> 01:16:42.232
what is the process of that?
01:16:43.208 --> 01:16:47.256
And is there any chance that comes back to us,
01:16:47.256 --> 01:16:49.506
could someone explain that?
01:16:51.676 --> 01:16:54.426
(staff mumbling)
01:17:00.538 --> 01:17:02.134
Don't have the answer right now,
01:17:02.134 --> 01:17:03.742
but I fill find it out quickly.
01:17:03.742 --> 01:17:06.989
We don't believe that there is an appeal process,
01:17:06.989 --> 01:17:08.236
but we will confirm that and get back
01:17:08.236 --> 01:17:10.319
to you as soon as we can.
01:17:11.866 --> 01:17:15.363
And I guess just as a follow up, the testifier referenced
01:17:15.363 --> 01:17:19.928
a formal appeal filed in December, and that I was unfamiliar
01:17:19.928 --> 01:17:24.005
with that, and so I was just curious if that is something
01:17:24.005 --> 01:17:26.338
that is part of our process.
01:17:30.506 --> 01:17:33.282
I have not seen that, but I will get back
01:17:33.282 --> 01:17:35.277
to you as soon as I can on that issue.
01:17:35.277 --> 01:17:36.110
Okay.
01:17:36.110 --> 01:17:38.614
Any other questions or comments?
01:17:38.614 --> 01:17:39.447
Thank you.
01:17:44.174 --> 01:17:48.174
Okay, moving on to the Committee on Instruction.
01:17:50.187 --> 01:17:52.439
And I believe that's Ms. Melton-Malone.
01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:53.658
I'm over here.
01:17:53.658 --> 01:17:54.783
Oh, there you are.
01:17:54.783 --> 01:17:57.153
They moved me here (laughing).
01:17:57.153 --> 01:17:59.766
Alright, members if you'll get your copy of your minutes
01:17:59.766 --> 01:18:04.099

01:18:08.944 --> 01:18:11.858

vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board,
01:18:25.725 --> 01:18:28.005

Members, what we'll need to do is a hand vote on this,
01:18:51.418 --> 01:18:53.731
since we need a two-thirds in order to adopt.
01:18:53.731 --> 01:18:55.564

01:19:24.719 --> 01:19:27.636

It's the board agenda roman numeral two dash seven.

It's an official item, official agenda item number eight.

On behalf of the Committee on Instruction,
01:19:49.566 --> 01:19:52.468

Alright, members, is there any discussion on this item?
01:20:31.923 --> 01:20:32.978
All those in favor say aye.
01:20:32.978 --> 01:20:34.157
Aye.
01:20:34.157 --> 01:20:36.472
All those opposed say no.
01:20:36.472 --> 01:20:39.873
The ayes have it, and that motion is adopted.
01:20:39.873 --> 01:20:43.098
Alright our final motion is on that same page,
01:20:43.098 --> 01:20:45.983
page two, middle of the page, number four.
01:20:45.983 --> 01:20:50.808
It is in your Board Agenda, roman numeral two dash twelve,
01:20:50.808 --> 01:20:53.367
and Official Agenda item number nine.
01:20:53.367 --> 01:20:55.697
On behalf of the Committee of Instruction,
01:20:55.697 --> 01:20:57.955
I move that the State Board of Education approve
01:20:57.955 --> 01:21:00.983
the innovative courses that do not fall within any
01:21:00.983 --> 01:21:03.618
of the subject areas of the foundation
01:21:03.618 --> 01:21:06.088
or enrichment curriculum as follows:
01:21:06.088 --> 01:21:10.755
A one-year extension for AVID, one dash four, excuse me,
01:21:12.922 --> 01:21:16.158
dash IB, and a three year renewal for Navigating Life
01:21:16.158 --> 01:21:17.976
with Hearing Loss.
01:21:17.976 --> 01:21:20.241
Now, Madam Chair, if I could explain quickly.
01:21:20.241 --> 01:21:24.784
On this extension, AVID asked us for the extension.
01:21:24.784 --> 01:21:28.364
They are looking at their program and they're revising
01:21:28.364 --> 01:21:31.307
it, so they would like to have the one year extension
01:21:31.307 --> 01:21:34.974
to get it revised and then continue with it.
01:21:36.762 --> 01:21:38.012
Sounds great.
01:21:39.333 --> 01:21:41.849
Any discussion on this item?
01:21:41.849 --> 01:21:43.454
All those in favor say aye.
01:21:43.454 --> 01:21:44.287
Aye.
01:21:44.287 --> 01:21:46.113
All those opposed say no.
01:21:46.113 --> 01:21:48.274
Ayes have it and that motion is adopted.
01:21:48.274 --> 01:21:49.107
That's all we have
01:21:49.107 --> 01:21:50.329
from the Committee on Instruction.
01:21:50.329 --> 01:21:51.162
Thank you.
01:21:51.162 --> 01:21:53.961
Thank you Ms. Melton-Malone.
01:21:53.961 --> 01:21:58.711
Now we'll move on to the Committee on School Initiatives.
01:22:02.243 --> 01:22:03.076
(members mumbling)
01:22:08.377 --> 01:22:11.235
Alright so if you'll pull out your minutes.
01:22:11.235 --> 01:22:13.309
On page two of the minutes for
01:22:13.309 --> 01:22:17.001
the Committee on School Initiatives, we have agenda

Accountability System for Educator Preparation Programs,

Section 229.4, Determination of Accreditation Status.
01:22:33.401 --> 01:22:36.583
It was moved unanimously to recommend that
01:22:36.583 --> 01:22:39.154
the State Board of Education take no action
01:22:39.154 --> 01:22:42.789
on the proposed amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 229,
01:22:42.789 --> 01:22:46.004
Accountability System for Educator Preparation Programs,
01:22:46.004 --> 01:22:50.421
section 229.4, Determination of Accreditation Status.
01:22:51.870 --> 01:22:54.087
Any discussion on this item?
01:22:54.087 --> 01:22:55.298
Yes, Mr. Mercer.
01:22:55.298 --> 01:22:57.272
Madam Chair, when we take no action,
01:22:57.272 --> 01:23:00.225
it just becomes in effect, is that what--
01:23:00.225 --> 01:23:01.228
Yes.
01:23:01.228 --> 01:23:03.704
It's so many days, it becomes, I forget,
01:23:03.704 --> 01:23:05.439
what, what how many days is it?
01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:06.481
(mumbling)
01:23:06.481 --> 01:23:08.384
30 days? I don't remember.
01:23:08.384 --> 01:23:10.345
It means we agree with what they've done.
01:23:10.345 --> 01:23:12.608
We're taking no action to change what they've done, yeah.
01:23:12.608 --> 01:23:15.696
I think it's, of course this is coming from SBEC.
01:23:15.696 --> 01:23:16.529
Thank you.
01:23:16.529 --> 01:23:18.495
Yeah.
01:23:18.495 --> 01:23:19.700
Any other discussion?
01:23:19.700 --> 01:23:21.499
All those in favor say aye.
01:23:21.499 --> 01:23:22.332
Aye.
01:23:22.332 --> 01:23:23.913
All those opposed say no.
01:23:23.913 --> 01:23:25.200
Aye's have it.
01:23:25.200 --> 01:23:26.858
Okay, agenda item number five
01:23:26.858 --> 01:23:29.404
is on page four dash thirty four.
01:23:29.404 --> 01:23:32.659
And it was moved by the Committee and carried unanimously
01:23:32.659 --> 01:23:34.503
to recommend that the State Board of Education
01:23:34.503 --> 01:23:37.460
take no action on the proposed revisions
01:23:37.460 --> 01:23:39.909
to 19 TAC Chapter 235,
01:23:39.909 --> 01:23:43.153

01:23:43.153 --> 01:23:46.803
General Provisions, and Subchapter D,
01:23:46.803 --> 01:23:50.053

01:23:51.029 --> 01:23:54.303
Any discussion on this item?
01:23:54.303 --> 01:23:56.892
Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.
01:23:56.892 --> 01:23:57.989
Aye.
01:23:57.989 --> 01:24:00.635
All those opposed say no.
01:24:00.635 --> 01:24:01.480
Aye's have it.
01:24:01.480 --> 01:24:02.313
Madam Chair.
01:24:02.313 --> 01:24:03.249
Did you have any other?
01:24:03.249 --> 01:24:04.646
Yeah, just one more.
01:24:04.646 --> 01:24:06.899
We did have a discussion, agenda item two,
01:24:06.899 --> 01:24:07.736
was a discussion about
01:24:07.736 --> 01:24:11.104
the Open Enrollment Charter School Application
01:24:11.104 --> 01:24:14.771
Generation 24 and then the draft for Gen 25.
01:24:16.982 --> 01:24:21.134
And so there were a lot of really great points brought up
01:24:21.134 --> 01:24:24.655
about transparency which you know our Board has
01:24:24.655 --> 01:24:27.957
become known of advocating for transparency.
01:24:27.957 --> 01:24:30.986
And so I appreciate the committee for bringing many
01:24:30.986 --> 01:24:32.460
of these to light.
01:24:32.460 --> 01:24:36.581
And so the Chair and I had a discussion with Charter School
01:24:36.581 --> 01:24:40.930
staff and also with the Commissioner, and so this is
01:24:40.930 --> 01:24:44.393
what Heather Mauze, the Director of Charters,
01:24:44.393 --> 01:24:47.890
this is her statement, which is,
01:24:47.890 --> 01:24:49.955
'the Commissioner is contemplating the staff
01:24:49.955 --> 01:24:53.243
'and resources necessary to implement changes
01:24:53.243 --> 01:24:55.745
'to the Charter School webpage that would provide
01:24:55.745 --> 01:24:58.355
'additional transparency for those interested
01:24:58.355 --> 01:24:59.351
'in Charter schools.'
01:24:59.351 --> 01:25:03.175
And just to dive a little bit deeper in that,
01:25:03.175 --> 01:25:06.157
I guess I can tell you the wish list would be to have
01:25:06.157 --> 01:25:09.692
a link to every Charter school that would give information
01:25:09.692 --> 01:25:14.285
to the public about amendments that are either pending
01:25:14.285 --> 01:25:17.905
or in the process or have been approved.
01:25:17.905 --> 01:25:21.493
As well as other information for the public.
01:25:21.493 --> 01:25:23.598
There would also be a page that would be
01:25:23.598 --> 01:25:25.227
for Charter School applicants.
01:25:25.227 --> 01:25:28.094
That would be a place for them to house when they
01:25:28.094 --> 01:25:30.274
are going to have their public meetings.
01:25:30.274 --> 01:25:33.561
And so it would be kind of, there would be a list serve.
01:25:33.561 --> 01:25:36.082
I don't know if any of you get the list serve like
01:25:36.082 --> 01:25:39.327
for the Science announcements from the Science Department.
01:25:39.327 --> 01:25:41.403
And new members you can sign up for that.
01:25:41.403 --> 01:25:43.042
You can talk to staff about how to do that.
01:25:43.042 --> 01:25:46.002
There's a list serve for Social Studies announcements
01:25:46.002 --> 01:25:46.997
and et cetera.
01:25:46.997 --> 01:25:51.474
And so there would be a way for the public to sign up
01:25:51.474 --> 01:25:53.936
to get announcements for new things that have been added
01:25:53.936 --> 01:25:55.341
to this potential webpage.
01:25:55.341 --> 01:25:57.851
So the Commissioner was very much in support
01:25:57.851 --> 01:25:59.058
of doing things like this.
01:25:59.058 --> 01:26:00.900
He just needs to dig around a little bit
01:26:00.900 --> 01:26:02.946
and find the funding to do that.
01:26:02.946 --> 01:26:06.065
But we have great confidence in him that he'll be able to
01:26:06.065 --> 01:26:09.495
address these issues just to make this whole thing
01:26:09.495 --> 01:26:11.592
much more transparent.
01:26:11.592 --> 01:26:13.930
So we're all in agreement about that.
01:26:13.930 --> 01:26:15.670
Ms. Perez-Diaz.
01:26:15.670 --> 01:26:18.492
Madam Chair, and thank you, Chair Cargill.
01:26:18.492 --> 01:26:20.520
It was a real lively discussion.
01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:21.449
I think we have a lot of questions
01:26:21.449 --> 01:26:24.189
and I know that Board Members around the table during
01:26:24.189 --> 01:26:26.332
our committee meeting also had some recommendations
01:26:26.332 --> 01:26:31.332
regarding the application itself, and so I'm almost wondering,
01:26:31.518 --> 01:26:33.778
and I don't know whether or not the Commissioner
01:26:33.778 --> 01:26:36.602
would be open to this or if the Board Chair would be open,
01:26:36.602 --> 01:26:38.810
but I think that during our conversations,
01:26:38.810 --> 01:26:41.635
we discussed possibly asking that this be an agenda
01:26:41.635 --> 01:26:43.402
item for the upcoming meeting,
01:26:43.402 --> 01:26:45.069
so that we can review the application process.
01:26:45.069 --> 01:26:47.344
And I don't know if you all would be willing to do that?
01:26:47.344 --> 01:26:50.346
I am requesting that this be an agenda item
01:26:50.346 --> 01:26:52.429
for the upcoming meeting.
01:26:53.518 --> 01:26:56.134
Yeah, I'll talk to staff and kind of see where we are
01:26:56.134 --> 01:26:59.249
in the process of working on the application
01:26:59.249 --> 01:27:01.692
'cause I know they just finished the application.
01:27:01.692 --> 01:27:04.448
Or I mean they just had the, for this generation,
01:27:04.448 --> 01:27:07.078
that they've already been turned in.
01:27:07.078 --> 01:27:09.706
So I don't know where that process is or when
01:27:09.706 --> 01:27:12.527
that timing is of anything, but I'll talk to staff about it.
01:27:12.527 --> 01:27:14.689
And perhaps this is, so I'll clarify.
01:27:14.689 --> 01:27:17.739
This is for, specifically, for Gen 25 moving forward.
01:27:17.739 --> 01:27:19.124
Okay, I gotcha.
01:27:19.124 --> 01:27:19.957
I gotcha.
01:27:21.854 --> 01:27:23.513
Any other questions or comments?
01:27:23.513 --> 01:27:25.578
Yes, Ms. Perez.
01:27:25.578 --> 01:27:28.493
And I apologize because I believe that this was discussed
01:27:28.493 --> 01:27:30.720
in your committee meeting and I don't think I was there
01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:32.291
in time to hear this,
01:27:32.291 --> 01:27:34.180
so this may be redundant for some of you.
01:27:34.180 --> 01:27:36.413
But if you would please clarify,
01:27:36.413 --> 01:27:41.374
how does this affect the amendments that we made on,
01:27:41.374 --> 01:27:46.115
in our previous meeting this week as to the review
01:27:46.115 --> 01:27:50.615
of amendments specifically speaking on the expansions?
01:27:51.673 --> 01:27:53.391
Does this, is this part of that?
01:27:53.391 --> 01:27:55.277
Is this not part of, is this in addition to that?
01:27:55.277 --> 01:27:57.777
How do these things correlate?
01:28:00.265 --> 01:28:01.883
Ms. Cargill if you want it--
01:28:01.883 --> 01:28:03.391
Question, I think we're still trying
01:28:03.391 --> 01:28:05.149
to figure out how that would work,
01:28:05.149 --> 01:28:10.149
but of course, expansion requests and et cetera, in my mind,
01:28:10.527 --> 01:28:12.114
I don't know what Madam Chair took
01:28:12.114 --> 01:28:15.848
out of the meeting, would be on this webpage.
01:28:15.848 --> 01:28:16.943
Now are you asking how it would affect
01:28:16.943 --> 01:28:20.357
the Committee on School Initiatives meetings?
01:28:20.357 --> 01:28:23.796
Like yesterday we got a packet of updates of amendments.
01:28:23.796 --> 01:28:26.552
And so, I would think that, and that should be in your box,
01:28:26.552 --> 01:28:28.805
and so I think that we'll still be getting those,
01:28:28.805 --> 01:28:33.245
but also on this webpage would be amendments that have
01:28:33.245 --> 01:28:36.266
been requested that are still like pending.
01:28:36.266 --> 01:28:39.879
And then you could look at those and then send your input,
01:28:39.879 --> 01:28:42.095
or your thoughts, or your opinion, contact staff
01:28:42.095 --> 01:28:43.707
and let them know what your input is.
01:28:43.707 --> 01:28:44.957
I mean we have no authority,
01:28:44.957 --> 01:28:46.754
but I'm sure they would be very willing to listen
01:28:46.754 --> 01:28:48.273
to what your thoughts are, so.
01:28:48.273 --> 01:28:49.289
Yes, Mr. Cortez.
01:28:49.289 --> 01:28:52.501
Yeah and if I could just add, so I think
01:28:52.501 --> 01:28:55.708
what Member Perez-Diaz is talking about
01:28:55.708 --> 01:28:59.318
is the actual application for Generation 25.
01:28:59.318 --> 01:29:03.460
Which moving forward and on that, as you're aware,
01:29:03.460 --> 01:29:06.774
we only have veto authority over what he recommends.
01:29:06.774 --> 01:29:10.966
Like we will under Generation 24 current applicants
01:29:10.966 --> 01:29:13.859
that are gonna come up over the summer,
01:29:13.859 --> 01:29:18.859
but we had conversations about recommendations that we made
01:29:18.904 --> 01:29:21.334
for that application moving forward.
01:29:21.334 --> 01:29:24.445
What you're referring to is the new language that was
01:29:24.445 --> 01:29:29.445
added CSI Committee now will have, and it's unclear at this point
01:29:31.390 --> 01:29:36.389
what authority we'll have over amendments and revisions
01:29:36.389 --> 01:29:39.934
other than maybe being notified like we have.
01:29:39.934 --> 01:29:42.869
Y'all should have, in your box, all the expansions
01:29:42.869 --> 01:29:47.869
and amendments, and bylaw changes, and location changes,
01:29:47.905 --> 01:29:51.435
Charter shutdowns, and you'll have that.
01:29:51.435 --> 01:29:53.863
I don't know what other authority we'll have over that.
01:29:53.863 --> 01:29:57.496
That'll still work itself out over,
01:29:57.496 --> 01:29:59.117
between now and the next meeting, maybe we'll have
01:29:59.117 --> 01:30:02.320
some more clarity, or we can request an AG opinion
01:30:02.320 --> 01:30:07.320
if necessary to find out what's the difference under 12,
01:30:07.735 --> 01:30:10.142
Chapter 12, or Chapter 7, of our authority.
01:30:10.142 --> 01:30:13.638
Maybe we can take that next step if we don't have
01:30:13.638 --> 01:30:16.638
a clear resolution to that question.
01:30:17.734 --> 01:30:21.234
Any other comments or questions on that?
01:30:22.456 --> 01:30:24.422
Mr. Maynard.
01:30:24.422 --> 01:30:26.329
You had your light on that's why I thought.
01:30:26.329 --> 01:30:30.920
See I saw it right away (laughing).
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:33.942
I, I was just looking at the agenda. So are we gonna get
01:30:33.942 --> 01:30:37.588
to talk a little bit about things that are not action items?
01:30:37.588 --> 01:30:41.255
Yeah, at the end here, what I'd like to do
01:30:43.121 --> 01:30:45.922
is we usually just do at the close,
01:30:45.922 --> 01:30:47.854
if we're done with the business part,
01:30:47.854 --> 01:30:49.401
are we done with the business part?
01:30:49.401 --> 01:30:51.240
We usually just do personal stuff here at the end.
01:30:51.240 --> 01:30:52.561
I've got a response to Mr. Maynard's question.
01:30:52.561 --> 01:30:54.486
Oh Mr. Maynard, okay.
01:30:54.486 --> 01:30:57.617
Mr. Maynard, Mr. Maska has a response to the question
01:30:57.617 --> 01:31:01.007
that you asked about appeal or.
01:31:01.007 --> 01:31:02.848
And then, when he's done, I just have a,
01:31:02.848 --> 01:31:06.100
just a couple of PSF items that sort of thing,
01:31:06.100 --> 01:31:07.779
that are in our committee.
01:31:07.779 --> 01:31:09.279
Yes, that's right.
01:31:10.532 --> 01:31:14.804
Mr. Maynard, Monica and I quickly were scrambling,
01:31:14.804 --> 01:31:19.607
because we never had something request for an appeal before,
01:31:19.607 --> 01:31:21.740
and that's because neither the statute
01:31:21.740 --> 01:31:24.490
nor the rule allow for an appeal.
01:31:25.690 --> 01:31:28.824
Madam Chair, I think the other question that came up
01:31:28.824 --> 01:31:31.373
was related to information that had come in.
01:31:31.373 --> 01:31:35.314
The only thing that staff received from TPS was an email
01:31:35.314 --> 01:31:39.812
on November 15th that was sent to all Board Members,
01:31:39.812 --> 01:31:42.752
and staff was copied on that email,
01:31:42.752 --> 01:31:45.133
but we haven't received anything else separate
01:31:45.133 --> 01:31:48.300
from what sent directly to all of you.
01:31:51.542 --> 01:31:54.709
Okay, any other comments on the CSI,
01:31:57.026 --> 01:32:00.000
otherwise, Mr. Maynard why don't you bring us up to date
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:02.329
on PSF even though we don't have any items.
01:32:02.329 --> 01:32:03.162
Yeah we don't have any action items
01:32:03.162 --> 01:32:05.368
'cause there were some consent items,
01:32:05.368 --> 01:32:08.306
but certainly, members, that, one of the things
01:32:08.306 --> 01:32:09.973
I think that's really important,
01:32:09.973 --> 01:32:13.730
and as you go out and about speak in your district,
01:32:13.730 --> 01:32:15.455
I think it's important that you be equipped
01:32:15.455 --> 01:32:17.476
with some talking points and that sort of thing.
01:32:17.476 --> 01:32:20.110
And so I think sometimes our challenge
01:32:20.110 --> 01:32:22.734
is that if something happens in a committee
01:32:22.734 --> 01:32:23.621
and we're not on that committee,
01:32:23.621 --> 01:32:28.621
we may not have been obviously privy to that deliberation
01:32:28.762 --> 01:32:30.749
and that conversation so we're not quite
01:32:30.749 --> 01:32:31.694
as familiar with it.
01:32:31.694 --> 01:32:35.205
So just to bring you up to date on a few things.
01:32:35.205 --> 01:32:36.292
On just really three things.
01:32:36.292 --> 01:32:40.542
First, in the rule making, as you go out and about,
01:32:41.606 --> 01:32:43.144
and visit with these Superintendents,
01:32:43.144 --> 01:32:45.328
there are two rules that are up that
01:32:45.328 --> 01:32:47.100
are actually pretty significant.
01:32:47.100 --> 01:32:48.768
One of those has to do with
01:32:48.768 --> 01:32:50.077
the Attendance Accounting Handbook.
01:32:50.077 --> 01:32:53.786
And that actually falls under the purview of the School
01:32:53.786 --> 01:32:56.643
Finance piece of our committee.
01:32:56.643 --> 01:32:59.740
And the Attendance Accounting Handbook is
01:32:59.740 --> 01:33:00.830
if you're in the school business,
01:33:00.830 --> 01:33:02.307
that's kind of a big thing.
01:33:02.307 --> 01:33:05.265
Particularly as it relates to things like extracurricular,
01:33:05.265 --> 01:33:07.613
and how those students are accounted with,
01:33:07.613 --> 01:33:09.359
and not the counted, and if they're eligible to be counted
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:12.823
and are present if they're on a school trip
01:33:12.823 --> 01:33:14.042
and all those things.
01:33:14.042 --> 01:33:17.077
And there's a lot of minutia involved in that,
01:33:17.077 --> 01:33:19.288
and so when you're out talking to Superintendents,
01:33:19.288 --> 01:33:22.319
let them know that, if they have any concerns
01:33:22.319 --> 01:33:24.387
about the Attendance Accounting Handbook.
01:33:24.387 --> 01:33:26.657
Also the rule related to
01:33:26.657 --> 01:33:29.013
the Financial Accountability System.
01:33:29.013 --> 01:33:31.554
And Superintendents, that's a
really big thing to Superintendents
01:33:31.554 --> 01:33:34.492
that financial accountability, we hear through A through F,
01:33:34.492 --> 01:33:37.345
but in the world of School Administrators,
01:33:37.345 --> 01:33:38.824
the Financial Accountability System is actually
01:33:38.824 --> 01:33:40.597
really, really important.
01:33:40.597 --> 01:33:42.935
So that is gonna to be up for review.
01:33:42.935 --> 01:33:46.234
So as you visit with your school folks out there,
01:33:46.234 --> 01:33:49.616
let 'em know, because we like to hear from them.
01:33:49.616 --> 01:33:52.984
Second thing, just to, it was on the consent,
01:33:52.984 --> 01:33:55.285
but we picked up, we made commitments
01:33:55.285 --> 01:33:59.341
for 300 million dollars in new real estate investments.
01:33:59.341 --> 01:34:03.989
Now that is all part of the strategic allocation.
01:34:03.989 --> 01:34:07.253
We have a strategic allocation that we're trying to get to
01:34:07.253 --> 01:34:12.086
on the Permanent School Fund and so the PSF owns,
01:34:12.086 --> 01:34:15.941
literally owns or has interest in real estate literally
01:34:15.941 --> 01:34:16.986
around the globe.
01:34:16.986 --> 01:34:21.294
And we had a lot of investments in places like Asia,
01:34:21.294 --> 01:34:26.190
Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia,
01:34:26.190 --> 01:34:27.206
and places like that.
01:34:27.206 --> 01:34:31.528
And the last thing is, is that we did have a discussion,
01:34:31.528 --> 01:34:34.195
a big discussion on risk parity.
01:34:36.293 --> 01:34:40.190
And that, and I think that I don't know if we've drawn
01:34:40.190 --> 01:34:42.898
a conclusion from that, but when you look,
01:34:42.898 --> 01:34:44.525
when you get your report,
01:34:44.525 --> 01:34:47.653
that risk parity piece of our portfolio looks like
01:34:47.653 --> 01:34:49.486
its performing poorly.
01:34:51.590 --> 01:34:53.642
It doesn't mean that we're losing money on that,
01:34:53.642 --> 01:34:57.847
but I think that really maybe the fact that it is,
01:34:57.847 --> 01:35:01.267
number one, that is a strategy that is very difficult
01:35:01.267 --> 01:35:06.267
to benchmark, and when you compare it to a 60/40 equity
01:35:07.092 --> 01:35:09.592
versus bonds type of strategy,
01:35:11.170 --> 01:35:15.067
that's what it's being compared to largely.
01:35:15.067 --> 01:35:18.647
But that is, understand that the Permanent School Fund
01:35:18.647 --> 01:35:23.431
because we have to make distributions every biennium,
01:35:23.431 --> 01:35:26.201
it is really important that, in addition
01:35:26.201 --> 01:35:31.201
to having investments that increases, that gives us gains,
01:35:31.348 --> 01:35:34.920
we also have to have defensive strategies
01:35:34.920 --> 01:35:37.944
within that portfolio to protect us from downturns
01:35:37.944 --> 01:35:41.209
or to at least mitigate the effects of a downturn,
01:35:41.209 --> 01:35:44.846
because we still have to make distributions every biennium.
01:35:44.846 --> 01:35:47.079
And so that makes the nature of the fund
01:35:47.079 --> 01:35:48.777
a little bit different because we are committed
01:35:48.777 --> 01:35:52.201
to making those and we wanna do the best we can
01:35:52.201 --> 01:35:55.959
to make sure that we can have substantial distributions
01:35:55.959 --> 01:35:58.279
every single biennium.
01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:00.112
But there's gonna be a little bit more discussion
01:36:00.112 --> 01:36:03.195
about risk parity in the days to come
01:36:04.649 --> 01:36:05.923
and in our next meeting.
01:36:05.923 --> 01:36:07.481
And so that's really all that we have
01:36:07.481 --> 01:36:10.818
from School Finance and Permanent School Fund.
01:36:10.818 --> 01:36:13.850
Thank you and again good work Mr. Maynard,
01:36:13.850 --> 01:36:16.478
particularly you on that work with the logo
01:36:16.478 --> 01:36:18.154
for the Permanent School Fund.
01:36:18.154 --> 01:36:20.380
I know all the members are very appreciative of that,
01:36:20.380 --> 01:36:22.836
your spearheading that work and making sure
01:36:22.836 --> 01:36:25.728
the money came in, and to support our students,
01:36:25.728 --> 01:36:27.845
so we really, really appreciate that.
01:36:27.845 --> 01:36:30.331
That was a great initiative and we'll all benefit
01:36:30.331 --> 01:36:31.340
from that work,
01:36:31.340 --> 01:36:32.406
so thank you so much.
01:36:32.406 --> 01:36:34.808
And members thank you for your contributions,
01:36:34.808 --> 01:36:36.098
that sort of thing.
01:36:36.098 --> 01:36:39.398
We got it done, and I think that it,
01:36:39.398 --> 01:36:41.956
big impact and in that sort of thing,
01:36:41.956 --> 01:36:43.359
I think we might have opportunities.
01:36:43.359 --> 01:36:46.109
And one thing I didn't mention is that, by the way,
01:36:46.109 --> 01:36:49.875
is that in classrooms all across Texas,
01:36:49.875 --> 01:36:52.206
and by the way, when I was a teacher, if you had asked me
01:36:52.206 --> 01:36:53.039
about the Permanent School Fund,
01:36:53.039 --> 01:36:56.268
I would have looked at you like a deer in the headlights.
01:36:56.268 --> 01:36:59.546
And every time that we have an opportunity to tell
01:36:59.546 --> 01:37:02.758
that story with our educators, I think it's a great thing.
01:37:02.758 --> 01:37:05.415
And so that became a platform for us tell that story.
01:37:05.415 --> 01:37:08.142
And anytime we can create opportunities to do that,
01:37:08.142 --> 01:37:09.794
I think we should.
01:37:09.794 --> 01:37:11.251
Madam Chair please.
01:37:11.251 --> 01:37:12.912
Yes Ms. Hardy.
01:37:12.912 --> 01:37:16.518
Two things, one is thank you Tom for going
01:37:16.518 --> 01:37:19.858
to all the efforts that you went to to pull that together
01:37:19.858 --> 01:37:22.212
and pull that off because it wouldn't have happened
01:37:22.212 --> 01:37:26.022
had you not been the instigator of the whole shebang,
01:37:26.022 --> 01:37:27.913
so thank you very much for all your work.
01:37:27.913 --> 01:37:28.994
I know it was a lot of work.
01:37:28.994 --> 01:37:32.446
But I wanted to say also that the lady who was head
01:37:32.446 --> 01:37:36.674
of the Art, Fine Arts, she came up to a couple of us
01:37:36.674 --> 01:37:39.990
and said, one of the most touching things about this was
01:37:39.990 --> 01:37:44.157
that we gave our money to the prize winning money.
01:37:45.805 --> 01:37:48.319
She said, I am so touched that the State Board of Education
01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:51.135
people were the ones who donated that fund.
01:37:51.135 --> 01:37:54.047
She said, that has really meant a lot to all of us
01:37:54.047 --> 01:37:57.555
to think that y'all thought enough of us and the work
01:37:57.555 --> 01:37:59.581
and so forth to do that and she wanted me
01:37:59.581 --> 01:38:01.699
to share that with everybody on the Board.
01:38:01.699 --> 01:38:04.184
So I'm taking this opportunity to share that feeling.
01:38:04.184 --> 01:38:05.017
Thank you.
01:38:05.017 --> 01:38:06.016
Mr. Allen.
01:38:06.016 --> 01:38:08.634
I'm gonna ask Tom to make it available to me to purchase
01:38:08.634 --> 01:38:10.646
one of those logos for my office.
01:38:10.646 --> 01:38:11.479
I'd like to have one.
01:38:11.479 --> 01:38:12.812
That's a great idea actually.
01:38:12.812 --> 01:38:14.253
Just tell me where I can get one.
01:38:14.253 --> 01:38:17.247
Yeah, we can, you can do that
01:38:17.247 --> 01:38:19.044
through the Texas Correctional Industries.
01:38:19.044 --> 01:38:20.796
They're the ones that executed that.
01:38:20.796 --> 01:38:23.760
I've been told not to, they rendered that.
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:24.593
(Members and audience laughing and reacting)
01:38:24.593 --> 01:38:26.561
So I have been asked not to use those when we talk about
01:38:26.561 --> 01:38:27.902
the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
01:38:27.902 --> 01:38:30.449
not to use that word.
01:38:30.449 --> 01:38:34.668
But yes, they, if you talk to Mary Ann Plumley over at
01:38:34.668 --> 01:38:36.694
Texas Correctional Industries,
01:38:36.694 --> 01:38:38.720
she can make that happen for you.
01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:40.797
Are you still accepting funds?
01:38:40.797 --> 01:38:43.332
And I wanna make sure we're gonna have one here
01:38:43.332 --> 01:38:47.249
in the boardroom, 'cause we got our logo there.
01:38:49.076 --> 01:38:50.795
The big logo that was displayed on the easel?
01:38:50.795 --> 01:38:52.079
Yeah.
01:38:52.079 --> 01:38:53.628
The plan was to put that
01:38:53.628 --> 01:38:56.494
in the Permanent School Fund office,
01:38:56.494 --> 01:38:58.127
but we can certainly explore getting another copy
01:38:58.127 --> 01:38:59.747
to put in here.
01:38:59.747 --> 01:39:01.072
I mean I think we need one in here,
01:39:01.072 --> 01:39:04.548
and I also think we need one in our board office as well.
01:39:04.548 --> 01:39:06.174
How much are they?
01:39:06.174 --> 01:39:07.780
(laughing) How much are they?
01:39:07.780 --> 01:39:08.613
Depends on the size.
01:39:08.613 --> 01:39:13.613
We might need to collect some more. (laughing)
01:39:14.231 --> 01:39:15.956
Madam Chair, and just so you know,
01:39:15.956 --> 01:39:18.922
so the one that we're putting on the wall is actually,
01:39:18.922 --> 01:39:21.172
it's made of a molded foam.
01:39:22.527 --> 01:39:25.463
And the reason they do it that way, is so it's not so heavy.
01:39:25.463 --> 01:39:26.988
Yeah, it's very heavy.
01:39:26.988 --> 01:39:31.988
But the ones that we gave Ms. Wieghat and to the student,
01:39:32.423 --> 01:39:35.246
is actually made out of wood.
01:39:35.246 --> 01:39:37.035
And if you notice, that one was really pretty heavy.
01:39:37.035 --> 01:39:37.917
Oh yeah.
01:39:37.917 --> 01:39:39.776
But the idea of that is,
01:39:39.776 --> 01:39:42.866
is that if you make it out of that foam,
01:39:42.866 --> 01:39:44.316
it doesn't pull the sheetrock out off your walls.
01:39:44.316 --> 01:39:45.982
Right, right.
01:39:45.982 --> 01:39:50.631
But I will certainly get that information and I will pass
01:39:50.631 --> 01:39:52.587
that along to Debbie in that, even would like to have one.
01:39:52.587 --> 01:39:54.083
Yeah maybe we can figure out
01:39:54.083 --> 01:39:56.400
'cause individual members might want it too.
01:39:56.400 --> 01:39:57.908
Yeah, they can make 'em.
01:39:57.908 --> 01:39:59.505
Okay that would be terrific.
01:39:59.505 --> 01:40:00.843
Yes, Ms. Melton-Malone.
01:40:00.843 --> 01:40:03.597
Madam Chair, just the thought, just went through my head
01:40:03.597 --> 01:40:07.191
just now, what would be the cost of or the possibilities
01:40:07.191 --> 01:40:11.858
of maybe a lapel pin for Board Members to wear? Like when
01:40:13.296 --> 01:40:17.359
we go out into our districts and with the logo on it?
01:40:17.359 --> 01:40:18.232
Yeah.
01:40:18.232 --> 01:40:21.570
That's a really good question.
01:40:21.570 --> 01:40:25.407
I just know that whenever I was in ATPE, we had our pin
01:40:25.407 --> 01:40:27.929
and that immediately caught people's attention
01:40:27.929 --> 01:40:31.761
and we had an opportunity to talk to 'em then, so.
01:40:31.761 --> 01:40:32.620
We want T-shirts.
01:40:32.620 --> 01:40:34.843
We want T-shirts, hats (laughing)
01:40:34.843 --> 01:40:37.326
And perhaps we can even make
01:40:37.326 --> 01:40:39.594
a commemorative Christmas ornament, but.
01:40:39.594 --> 01:40:41.616
(Board and audience laughing)
01:40:41.616 --> 01:40:43.654
The shell was fifteen right?
01:40:43.654 --> 01:40:45.030
Oh, that's awesome.
01:40:45.030 --> 01:40:49.121
But actually, I can actually explore that for you.
01:40:49.121 --> 01:40:53.704
And I will do a little bit of research and circle back.
01:40:55.002 --> 01:40:58.102
And maybe a little bit of input about
01:40:58.102 --> 01:41:02.361
how big you think that lapel pin ought to be?
01:41:02.361 --> 01:41:06.944
Because those lapel pins kind of, that how they sort of
01:41:09.682 --> 01:41:12.837
kind of display themselves on women's attire versus men's
01:41:12.837 --> 01:41:14.213
is a little bit different.
01:41:14.213 --> 01:41:16.388
'Cause I'm a little bit sensitive to that
01:41:16.388 --> 01:41:18.768
and so maybe we need to think about that,
01:41:18.768 --> 01:41:21.681
but I can certainly explore that for you.
01:41:21.681 --> 01:41:22.514
Madam Chair?
01:41:22.514 --> 01:41:23.834
I might just shave my head
01:41:23.834 --> 01:41:25.210
and put the logo right here.
01:41:25.210 --> 01:41:26.831
(Board Members laughing)
01:41:26.831 --> 01:41:27.773
I'm just kidding.
01:41:27.773 --> 01:41:30.131
Related, I'd ask you for, I would argue probably a pin
01:41:30.131 --> 01:41:33.291
for the Committee, but the logo we have,
01:41:33.291 --> 01:41:36.689
why don't we have a pin like our meetings we had this week,
01:41:36.689 --> 01:41:39.222
certain members of the House and
Senate, they have an oversized,
01:41:39.222 --> 01:41:41.773
not as big as a quarter, but a little bigger than this.
01:41:41.773 --> 01:41:44.325
We have our symbol there which is kind of a dark color,
01:41:44.325 --> 01:41:45.665
I'd rather have a brighter color,
01:41:45.665 --> 01:41:47.007
State Board of Education pin.
01:41:47.007 --> 01:41:49.223
I always wondered for years why don't we have our own lapel
01:41:49.223 --> 01:41:51.490
pin when we go to the House or Senate meetings,
01:41:51.490 --> 01:41:54.079
they can quickly identify us as State Board of Education.
01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:55.609
That's the logo there,
01:41:55.609 --> 01:41:59.155
it's needs to be brighter and something done to it.
01:41:59.155 --> 01:42:01.250
But you see we already have a logo
01:42:01.250 --> 01:42:03.199
for the State Board of Education.
01:42:03.199 --> 01:42:05.287
We already have a pen out there, our letterhead,
01:42:05.287 --> 01:42:07.180
and I wonder why we couldn't have
a, what would it take for us
01:42:07.180 --> 01:42:09.682
to have a pin made for ourselves?
01:42:09.682 --> 01:42:11.370
Okay.
01:42:11.370 --> 01:42:12.250
Just wondering.
01:42:12.250 --> 01:42:14.802
Along the lines of that PSF fund pin too which is a great--
01:42:14.802 --> 01:42:16.218
I though this was our logo?
01:42:16.218 --> 01:42:17.621
I'm glad I got my logo.
01:42:17.621 --> 01:42:18.971
No the bronze by the flag there.
01:42:18.971 --> 01:42:20.359
The State Seal by the flag.
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:21.192
That's the seal.
01:42:21.192 --> 01:42:22.025
Over Monica's head.
01:42:22.025 --> 01:42:22.858
That's ours.
01:42:22.858 --> 01:42:23.691
Okay got it.
01:42:23.691 --> 01:42:24.524
But I think Ken's talking about that one.
01:42:24.524 --> 01:42:25.529
It just needs to be brightened up some.
01:42:25.529 --> 01:42:28.092
It's too dark, it's just.
01:42:28.092 --> 01:42:29.408
We can definitely explore it.
01:42:29.408 --> 01:42:32.003
I think the cost depends on the volume that you buy.
01:42:32.003 --> 01:42:32.836
Right, right.
01:42:32.836 --> 01:42:34.091
But it wouldn't be much.
01:42:34.091 --> 01:42:37.016
Okay, well, that'd be, we'd like to know.
01:42:37.016 --> 01:42:40.312
We gotta show our colors. (laughing)
01:42:40.312 --> 01:42:42.197
I think the new members would probably all chip in and
01:42:42.197 --> 01:42:43.073
buy each of us one, it'd be nice.
01:42:43.073 --> 01:42:45.676
(Members and audience laughing)
01:42:45.676 --> 01:42:46.550
That's right.
01:42:46.550 --> 01:42:47.424
That's right.
01:42:47.424 --> 01:42:49.537
You missed out on the donations for this,
01:42:49.537 --> 01:42:51.093
so you can (laughing).
01:42:51.093 --> 01:42:52.242
(Board Members mumbling)
01:42:52.242 --> 01:42:53.612
Yeah, exactly.
01:42:53.612 --> 01:42:58.574
Any other, any other, I wanna make sure that y'all
01:42:58.574 --> 01:43:00.697
catch up on each other's families and stuff.
01:43:00.697 --> 01:43:03.327
Oh, let's just adjourn the meeting or should we adjourn?
01:43:03.327 --> 01:43:06.469
I forget do I adjourn afterwards?
01:43:06.469 --> 01:43:09.265
Do I just adjourn and we kind of talk amongst ourselves?
01:43:09.265 --> 01:43:11.381
It's part of your agenda.
01:43:11.381 --> 01:43:12.757
It's part of our agenda, okay.
01:43:12.757 --> 01:43:16.428
So anything exciting happening in anyone's life.
01:43:16.428 --> 01:43:19.261
We like to keep up with marriages.
01:43:20.320 --> 01:43:22.446
We don't wanna hear if you got divorced, but (laughing).
01:43:22.446 --> 01:43:23.869
Why?
01:43:23.869 --> 01:43:25.340
That's not necessarily bad.
01:43:25.340 --> 01:43:26.661
(laughing)
01:43:26.661 --> 01:43:27.494
(Members chatting)
01:43:27.494 --> 01:43:29.929
Let's talk about your award.
01:43:29.929 --> 01:43:30.762
What?
01:43:30.762 --> 01:43:32.570
Your award too.
01:43:32.570 --> 01:43:34.928
I can talk about it next time.
01:43:34.928 --> 01:43:36.127
(laughing)
01:43:36.127 --> 01:43:37.960
I'll forget.
01:43:40.721 --> 01:43:41.888
Nothing, okay.
01:43:43.097 --> 01:43:43.930
(man mumbling)
01:43:43.930 --> 01:43:44.763
What?
01:43:44.763 --> 01:43:45.596
(man mumbling)
01:43:45.596 --> 01:43:48.896
He's (scofs), he's always having kids.
01:43:48.896 --> 01:43:50.067
Yeah.
01:43:50.067 --> 01:43:50.930
(members laughing)
01:43:50.930 --> 01:43:52.303
He raises goats.
01:43:52.303 --> 01:43:53.625
Just so you know.
01:43:53.625 --> 01:43:56.542
(members laughing)
01:43:59.911 --> 01:44:01.111
It's a typical dad joke talking.
01:44:01.111 --> 01:44:03.111
It's a dad joke, yeah.
01:44:04.383 --> 01:44:09.383
Well we are excited that our three new members were with us.
01:44:09.503 --> 01:44:12.338
Great job on your freshman meeting.
01:44:12.338 --> 01:44:13.171
(Members clapping)
01:44:13.171 --> 01:44:15.006
There you go.
01:44:15.006 --> 01:44:17.445
I think we should warn that this is an unusually,
01:44:17.445 --> 01:44:18.278
we have--
01:44:18.278 --> 01:44:19.996
This, okay, just since I've been on the Board,
01:44:19.996 --> 01:44:22.666
which is six years, we've never had a meeting this light.
01:44:22.666 --> 01:44:24.743
I'm just saying.
01:44:24.743 --> 01:44:25.826
I mean seriously.
01:44:25.826 --> 01:44:26.659
In six years.
01:44:26.659 --> 01:44:28.301
You should have waited, worked longer.
01:44:28.301 --> 01:44:29.134
Just so you know.
01:44:29.134 --> 01:44:31.607
So next meeting, it will be a different I imagine.
01:44:31.607 --> 01:44:34.240
I haven't seen the agenda or talked about it.
01:44:34.240 --> 01:44:35.519
Tell 'em they're not allowed to speak
01:44:35.519 --> 01:44:37.110
for the first year.
01:44:37.110 --> 01:44:38.944
(laughing)
01:44:38.944 --> 01:44:40.781
Oh that didn't work very well with Ms. Perez
01:44:40.781 --> 01:44:44.198
or Dr. Ellis. (laughing)
01:44:48.942 --> 01:44:51.750
Anyway, we welcome you and we're honored
01:44:51.750 --> 01:44:52.824
to have you guys here.
01:44:52.824 --> 01:44:55.418
I think you guys did a great job for your first meeting
01:44:55.418 --> 01:44:58.951
and we ease, we're easing you into on this first meeting.
01:44:58.951 --> 01:45:02.637
And I just wanna thank everybody for their help
01:45:02.637 --> 01:45:05.600
with the roundtable and being there and supportive
01:45:05.600 --> 01:45:07.741
and trying to get the word out to your districts
01:45:07.741 --> 01:45:10.782
and folks to come to the roundtable.
01:45:10.782 --> 01:45:14.011
I've heard already from several people that all the panels
01:45:14.011 --> 01:45:18.011
were just really terrific and great information.
01:45:19.377 --> 01:45:22.632
I think Dr. Hoover had so much information
01:45:22.632 --> 01:45:25.283
on all the resources for mental health for schools
01:45:25.283 --> 01:45:27.908
that she shared and gave us freely
01:45:27.908 --> 01:45:30.099
that are gonna benefit and I'm hoping,
01:45:30.099 --> 01:45:32.718
what we'll do once they're posted,
01:45:32.718 --> 01:45:34.715
all the videos are posted, all the power points,
01:45:34.715 --> 01:45:37.200
everything, any white papers or whatever was turned in,
01:45:37.200 --> 01:45:38.334
all of that will be posted.
01:45:38.334 --> 01:45:41.752
It'll be by panel, we send that information out to you
01:45:41.752 --> 01:45:44.144
to send to your districts to say if you couldn't make it
01:45:44.144 --> 01:45:47.898
to the roundtable, please check out
01:45:47.898 --> 01:45:52.463
these different panels and just packed with information.
01:45:52.463 --> 01:45:54.464
And so I hope you guys were pleased
01:45:54.464 --> 01:45:55.805
with the roundtable again.
01:45:55.805 --> 01:45:57.442
This was our fourth annual roundtable
01:45:57.442 --> 01:46:00.733
and every time we have one I always think,
01:46:00.733 --> 01:46:03.884
wow, we're doing some amazing things in the State of Texas.
01:46:03.884 --> 01:46:07.455
And I'm always so proud and excited to hear about the great
01:46:07.455 --> 01:46:08.607
work that's going on.
01:46:08.607 --> 01:46:11.395
And hopefully we can just expand all that great work
01:46:11.395 --> 01:46:12.285
in many areas.
01:46:12.285 --> 01:46:14.796
So again thank you for coming to the roundtable
01:46:14.796 --> 01:46:16.933
and supporting it and for letting your folks know about it
01:46:16.933 --> 01:46:18.585
and having people sign up.
01:46:18.585 --> 01:46:20.015
So appreciate that work.
01:46:20.015 --> 01:46:20.848
Donna.
01:46:20.848 --> 01:46:22.073
Yes, Ms. Hardy.
01:46:22.073 --> 01:46:24.364
Well would like to compliment you on the roundtable
01:46:24.364 --> 01:46:28.875
because you are the (members clapping) master of the ring,
01:46:28.875 --> 01:46:33.875
and so we appreciate all that you have spurred us on to do.
01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:38.535
Yeah well, I tell you staff carried 99.9% of the work
01:46:38.535 --> 01:46:42.029
on that thing as usual and so we so appreciate Staff,
01:46:42.029 --> 01:46:44.400
and Debbie and Lenny, et al.
01:46:44.400 --> 01:46:46.722
I don't even know who all helped you with many things,
01:46:46.722 --> 01:46:48.930
but thank you so much for both of you.
01:46:48.930 --> 01:46:52.340
And all those who helped us put it together
01:46:52.340 --> 01:46:54.697
and we just so appreciate all the speakers.
01:46:54.697 --> 01:46:56.697
They were just terrific.
01:46:57.710 --> 01:47:00.601
Very dynamic and very informative, so.
01:47:00.601 --> 01:47:01.919
With, there's nothing.
01:47:01.919 --> 01:47:03.069
Yes, Dr. Robinson.
01:47:03.069 --> 01:47:05.681
I'd just like to say this has been a really great
01:47:05.681 --> 01:47:09.214
week and I've been looking forward to this for a long time
01:47:09.214 --> 01:47:11.720
and it's been really,
01:47:11.720 --> 01:47:14.230
I really sense, I don't know all of y'all real well,
01:47:14.230 --> 01:47:17.198
but I really sense that all 15 of us are here
01:47:17.198 --> 01:47:19.733
for the right reasons and are here to make education better
01:47:19.733 --> 01:47:23.353
for all kids everywhere no matter what their zip code is.
01:47:23.353 --> 01:47:26.837
And I especially appreciate the mentoring I got
01:47:26.837 --> 01:47:29.074
from Member Perez this week.
01:47:29.074 --> 01:47:30.617
(members laughing)
01:47:30.617 --> 01:47:31.450
So, it's a--
01:47:31.450 --> 01:47:32.283
01:47:32.283 --> 01:47:33.250
Uh oh.
01:47:33.250 --> 01:47:34.812
(laughing)
01:47:34.812 --> 01:47:36.241
I see some purple on your hair there.
01:47:36.241 --> 01:47:37.683
(laughing)
01:47:37.683 --> 01:47:39.469
Well now, no it's we're all here for the right reasons,
01:47:39.469 --> 01:47:42.620
and so it's been a real joy and I'm looking forward to getting
01:47:42.620 --> 01:47:45.287
into even more next time around.
01:47:48.102 --> 01:47:48.935
Absolutely.
01:47:48.935 --> 01:47:52.840
Again, thank each one of you and the meeting is adjourned.
