[00:30:06]

[4. NON-ACTION ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION]

OKAY. GOOD EVENING. UM THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE INFORMATION ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE HERE AND C F B I S D. PLEASE KNOW THAT THE DATA WILL BE REVIEWING TONIGHT WAS RECENTLY RELEASED BY THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY LAST MONTH. ON DECEMBER THE 15TH WHILE THE INFORMATION ON STAR IS FROM THE 2021 22 ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR, OUR FINANCIAL RATINGS AND THE COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS FACTORS ARE FROM THE 2020 21 SCHOOL YEAR IN WHICH THE MAJORITY OF OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN REMOTE INSTRUCTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

TEXAS EDUCATION CODE REQUIRES THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO PUBLISH AN ANNUAL DISTRICT PERFORMANCE REPORT AND HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON INFORMATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT. OTHERWISE KNOWN AS TAPER. THIS YEAR KILLED IN FARMERS BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL HOLD THEIR PUBLIC HEARING VIRTUALLY BEGINNING AT FIVE P.M. ON MONDAY , JANUARY 23RD DURING THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL MEETING.

TONIGHT WE SHARE WITH. THE BOARD AND THOSE IN ATTENDANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS ANNUAL REPORT, AS WELL AS AN UPDATE ON CHANGES TO THIS YEAR, STATE TESTING AND STATE ACCOUNTABILITY RATING PROCESS. EACH YEAR. SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE ASSIGNED TO RATINGS. ONE ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. AND ANOTHER BASED ON PUBLIC SCHOOL FINANCE, KNOWN AS FIRST LAST YEAR. C F B I S D EARNED AN OVERALL ACCOUNTABILITY RATING OF AN 88 A HIGH B WITH SEVEN CAMPUSES, EARNING AN A RATING AND 25 CAMPUSES, EARNING A B THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL RATING WAS

[00:35:04]

LAST YEAR, WE ENROLLED NEARLY 25,000 STUDENTS AND EMPLOYED OVER 3500 PERSONNEL OF WHICH 68% WERE PROFESSIONAL STAFF. AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY IN CFB IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN $3500 ABOVE THE STATE'S AVERAGE. FULL TIME TEACHERS COMPRISED 52% OF OUR FULL TIME STAFF LAST YEAR. AND AS THIS BAR GRAPH SHOWS A MAJORITY OF OUR TEACHERS, 56% HAD OVER FIVE YEARS OF CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE. THE DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION SHOWN HERE HAS REMAINED RELATIVELY UNCHANGED FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND ARE HISPANIC POPULATION RATE IS VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO THE STATE. REGARDING STUDENT ENROLLMENT BY PROGRAM TYPE. WE SAW A SLIGHT DECREASE IN ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS FROM 67.6% IN 2021 TO 63.6% IN 2022.

SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM ROSE FROM 13.6% TO 13.9% AND EMERGENT BILINGUAL FORMERLY KNOWN AS ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS INCREASED FROM 33.4% TO 35.1. ONE THING TO NOTE ABOUT THE PERCENT OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS SHOWN HERE IS THAT LAST YEAR WE WERE STILL UNDER THE FEDERAL COVID GUIDELINES THAT ALLOWED ANY STUDENT TO RECEIVE A FREE LUNCH IF NEEDED. LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT PROJECTIONS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WE'RE ON TRACK TO HAVE AN ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED SCHOOL ENROLLMENT OF ABOUT 66.4. TURNING OUR ATTENTION TO STATE TESTING RESULTS. THE PRELIMINARY SCORES FROM 2022 WERE INITIALLY SHARED DURING OUR SEPTEMBER 1ST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. THOSE RESULTS INCLUDED ALL STUDENTS WHO TESTED DURING THE SPRING SEMESTER AND THE SPRING ADMINISTRATION OF STAR THREE THROUGH EIGHT AND THEN, OF COURSE EXAMS. THE SCORE SHOWN HERE WERE RECENTLY RELEASED BY TAPER AND THEY INCLUDE ALL VERSIONS OF THE STAR TEST FROM THREE THROUGH EIGHT END OF COURSE TESTS AS WELL AS THE INTERCOURSE TESTS THAT WERE TAKEN BY STUDENTS DURING THE DECEMBER REALLY ADMINISTRATION AS WELL AS THE SUMMER ADMINISTRATION. ALSO INCLUDED ARE STAR ALTERNATE TO TEST SCORES. ADDITIONALLY THESE SCORES ONLY INCLUDE STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED IN CFB ON THE SNAPSHOT DATE, WHICH IS THE LAST DATE AND LAST FRIDAY OF OCTOBER. NOW OUR TAPER REPORT THAT WAS RELEASED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS INCLUDES TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF STAR DATA, HOWEVER, TONIGHT FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES WE'RE REPORTING THE PREVIOUS LAST YEAR'S DATA THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT AS WELL. THE TABLE ON THE LEFT SHOWS THREE YEAR COMPARISON OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE AT THE APPROACHES GRADE LEVEL OR ABOVE PASSING STANDARD. THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS STUDENT PERFORMANCE AT THE HIGHER MEETS GRADE LEVEL OR ABOVE STANDARD.

LOOKING AT ALL SUBJECTS COMBINED FOR APPROACHES GRADE LEVEL 71% OF STUDENTS WERE AT OR ABOVE THE PASSING STANDARD. SUBSTANTIAL GAINS HAVE BEEN MADE IN COMPARISON TO 2021. WE'RE ONLY 5% POINTS AWAY FROM THE 2019 SCORES. MOST NOTABLY, WE CAN SEE HERE THAT ARE READING SCORES MATCHED PRE COVID RATE OF 71% OF THE APPROACHES GRADE LEVEL OR ABOVE AND IT ACTUALLY ROSE ABOVE THE PRE COVID SCORES IN THE MEATS GRADE LEVEL OR ABOVE. ANOTHER REQUIREMENT OF THE DISTRICT'S ANNUAL REPORT IS PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR HOUSE BILL, THREE BOARD GOALS. THIS INFORMATION ON GRADE THREE READING WAS PREVIOUSLY SHARED DURING OUR JUNE 2ND SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. IT SHOWS A YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISONS OF THE PROJECTED PROFICIENCY AT THE MEATS GRADE LEVEL SCORE ON GRADE THREE READING STAR TEST. IN GRADE THREE. READING OUR SCORES INCREASED 12% POINTS FROM 36. IN 2021 TO 48% IN 2022, SURPASSING THE HOUSE BILL. THREE BOARD GOALS SET AT 39. SIMILARLY IN GRADE THREE MATHEMATICS SCORES INCREASED 20% POINTS FROM 25% TO

[00:40:09]

[00:45:06]

AND THE END, OF COURSE, EXAMS WILL BE FINALIZED AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. AND COINCIDING WITH THE STAR REDESIGN. IS AN 80 THROUGH F RATING SYSTEM REFRESH. FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING A RELATIVELY SIMILAR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WITH THE SAME PERFORMANCE MEASURES. AND WHILE THIS INCLUDED THAT WHILE THIS, YOU KNOW INCLUDED AND ALLOWED FOR A BETTER YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISON. SOME OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES WERE HALTED. SUCH AS NOT ASSIGNING LETTER GRADES FOR 2020 AND 2021 DUE TO THE INTERRUPTED INSTRUCTION CAUSED BY THE COVID PANDEMIC. WE CAN SEE HER LOOKING AT TODAY'S PROPOSED TIMELINE FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY REFRESH. WE'RE CURRENTLY AT THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE TRANSITION PROCESS.

THROUGH MARCH. ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM STAKEHOLDERS WILL BE GATHERED. AND A FINAL DRAFT OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY MANUAL WILL BE PUBLISHED DURING THE SUMMER. FOLLOWED BY THE RELEASE OF DISTRICT AND CAMPUS RATINGS. IN MID SOME IN MID SEPTEMBER. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THESE CHANGES ARE FIRST THIS YEAR'S RATING WILL BE BASED ON THE NEW STAR TEST. THE SPRING. STAR THREE THROUGH EIGHT TEST SCORES WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL AUGUST. THE FINAL UPDATES FOR OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IS GOING TO OCCUR OVER THE SUMMER. AND OR A THROUGH F RATINGS WILL ALSO BE DELIGHTED THIS YEAR. THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE FROM THE TAPER REPORT RELEASED BY TA IN DECEMBER, AND I'M ALSO GOING TO SHARE A QUICK REMINDER. THAT CFB WILL BE HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING VIRTUALLY BEGINNING AT FIVE P.M. ON MONDAY, JANUARY 23RD DURING THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL MEETING. THANK YOU. POOR MEMBERS. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR PARKER? MR ERIC, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION. I JUST HAVE A FEW COMMENTS. THANK YOU, DR PARKER FOR YOUR PRESENTATION JUST FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT THE TAPER, WHICH IS AN ANNUAL REPORT. THE BOARD WAS PROVIDED INFORMATION EARLIER IN THE FALL AND INDIVIDUALLY BY YOUR TEAM TO HELP US KIND OF BREAK DOWN THE DATA FROM THE START TESTING EVEN MORE. THEN WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN YOUR PRESENTATION, AND I WANT TO APPLAUD THE TEAM THAT ALLOWED THE HEAD TRANSPARENCY IN THAT PROCESS BECAUSE IT GAVE THE BOARD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND REALLY DIG INTO SOME OF THE DATA AND WHERE WE WERE SEEING GAPS.

UM, AND READING SCORES, MATH SCORES, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE WORK BEGAN LONG AGO ON ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE GAPS. AND I ALSO THINK THAT THAT JUST ALSO SPEAKS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MAP TESTING THAT THE BOARD APPROVES EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THE MAP TESTING GIVES US MUCH MORE FREQUENT SNAPSHOTS IN TIME OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING SO THAT WE'RE NOT JUST WAITING UNTIL A STAR TEST ONCE A YEAR TO FIND OUT WHERE WE'RE AT. WE'RE ACTUALLY TRACKING IT. LIKE YOU SAID. YOU CAN PROJECT AND SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHAT WE THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA ALREADY BECAUSE WE HAVE MAPPED DATA. TO SHOW US WHAT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR SCHOOLS, SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND FOR THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE PAPER REPORTS JUST A LOT OF NUMBERS ALL AT ONCE. BUT THE BOARD SPRING PROVIDED A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THE BACKGROUND ABOUT YOUR TEAM. UM IN PREPARATION FOR THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT, SO THANK YOU. MS BENAVIDEZ. THANK YOU, DOCTOR. I WANTED TO FIND OUT OR ASK YOU WHAT IMPACT? UM CHANGES TO THE STAR TEST AND ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM HAVE ON OUR BOARD GOALS. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. ONE OF THINGS IS WITH REGARD TO THE ONLINE TESTING OUR STUDENTS OF TESTING ONLINE. THEY TEST ON THE MATH TEST THEY LARGE MAJORITY OF TESTED ONLINE. WE'VE ALSO BEGAN THAT TRANSITION TO BIG STUDENTS BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW QUESTION TYPES FIRST WITH OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING CONTINENTALLY DIRECTORS AND THE TRAINING THAT THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR TRAINING THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THEIR TEACHERS THROUGH OPTIMIZING OUTCOMES. AND THEN WE'VE BEEN EMBEDDING SOME OF THOSE NEW QUESTION TYPES WHERE APPROPRIATE DURING THEIR UNITS AND SCOPE AND SEQUENCE SO WITH REGARD TO THE REDESIGN WERE OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF ARE WELL PREPARED. BUT WITH REGARD TO THE

[00:50:04]

YOU CAN NEVER GUESS EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE GOING TO, UH, REPORT ALL THEIR GOALS. BUT WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS THAT WITH THE NEW ITEM TYPES, WITH STUDENTS HAVING TO TYPE THEIR ANSWERS AND DO SHORT ANSWER RESPONSES, WHICH IS SOMETHING NEW THEY'VE NEVER HAD TO DO BEFORE GOTTEN TO DO BEFORE . WHATEVER YOU WANT THE VERB TO BE. WE HAVE PURCHASED THINGS LIKE TYPING CLUB TO HELP STUDENTS TO BEGIN TO LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE A KEYBOARD TO ADEQUATELY BE ABLE TO PUT THEIR THOUGHTS IN PAPER. IN ADDITION, THROUGH OUR UNITS OF STUDY, WE HAVE WRITING UNITS. THAT PARTICULARLY ASK STUDENTS TO RESPOND TO PROMPTS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH PASSAGES THAT THEY HAVE JUST READ. SO IT IS NO LONGER TAKING A WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FRIEND AND TELL ABOUT THE TIME THAT YOU WERE WITH THEM. INSTEAD THEY HAVE TO TAKE A READING PASSAGE. AND THEN THERE WILL BE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT, WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO CITE TEXT EVIDENCE. THAT SUPPORTS WHATEVER THEIR THESIS IS. AND YES, WE USE THE WORD THESIS IN THIRD GRADE, SO WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH UNITS OF STUDY OVER THE YEARS BEING, UM, PREPARING STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY THEIR ANSWERS. BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITTEN FORM. WE HAVE ALSO WERE. WHILE IT DOESN'T SOUND GREAT WITH THESE NEW ATOM TYPES SOMETIMES WITH SOME OF THE TYPES WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT'S MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT STUDENTS CAN DO. IT'S NOT JUST ONE ANSWER ALL THE TIME . YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO MANIPULATE SOMETHING AND PUT IT IN ORDER FOR THE FOR THE WHETHER CYCLE FOR EXAMPLE, SO IT GIVES US THE STUDENTS REALLY SOME CHANCES IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THEIR LEARNING. SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT NOT ONLY IN A TEST FORMAT, BUT ALSO IN REAL LIFE THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO EVERYDAY IN THE CLASSROOM WITHOUT HAVING TO DO TEST PREP, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. UM AND THEN FINALLY, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT JUST A CHANGE THAT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT IN THAT OUR SPECIALISTS, STUDENTS SOMETIMES TAKE A AND INSTEAD OF AN ONLINE TEST, THEY'VE BEEN TAKING A PAPER PENCIL TEST. WELL THEY HAVE JUST RELEASED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO . WHAT THE PAPER TEST WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND WITH THE NEW ITEM TYPES THEY'RE HORRIBLE. THEY THEY ARE NOT CLEAR. IT IS HARDER TO UNDERSTAND, AND YOU'RE AFRAID THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY IN USING THE PAPER PENCIL TEST, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO NARROW DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. STUDENTS THAT TAKE THE PAPER PENCIL TEST, LOOKING AT WHAT ACCOMMODATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS WE CAN MAKE TO THAT TESTING TO BE ABLE TO HELP STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD WILL START WITH MISS BRADY. UM MR PARKER AND MS SMITH THAT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS YEAR FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THAT ARE UNDER AN I E D.

BUT THEY WILL HAVE AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF ALLOWABLE ACCOMMODATION. ARE YOU FINDING THAT TO BE TRUE? I HAVE NOT SEEN ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SPECIFIC NUMBERS.

BUT THERE ARE ACCOMMODATIONS SUCH AS TRACY SMITH JUST SUCH A SPEECH TO TEXT TEXT TO SPEECH THAT THOSE ARE THE COMPONENTS ON THE TEST AS WELL AS, UM, SOME AREAS THAT ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO, UM TAKE A LOOK AND THEY HOVER OVER WORD AND IT SPEAKS TO IT OR PROVIDES A PICTURE REPRESENT REPRESENTATION OF IT OR DEFINITION OVER IT. WHAT ARE THE KEY ONES THAT THEY TYPICALLY DO IS WHEN YOU SEE THE WORD SAND SAND COULD BE SOMETHING YOU FEEL IN A IN A BUCKET THAT BY THE OCEAN, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH WOOD. SO THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE IN PART PART OF IT, BUT WITH REGARD TO WHAT PERCENT OF STUDENTS HOW WE HAVE FOR EACH OF THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS, THOSE ARE ACTUALLY STILL BEING GATHERED.

BECAUSE TO GET THEM INTO THE DATA, THEY'RE STILL BEING GATHERED AND STILL BEING A PART OF IT. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ADDED THAT MANY MORE THIS YEAR.

BUT IN YEARS PAST THEY HAVE AND THEY CONTINUE TO ADD THINGS TO IT THAT ARE VERY BENEFICIAL. THE BEST PART IS THIS THAT WE HAVE SAMPLES THAT WE CAN GO IN AND WE CAN ACTUALLY PLAY WITH IT OURSELVES. THEN THAT WAY WE CAN HELP OUR STUDENTS WHO ALSO NEED THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS TO PLAY WITH IT AS WELL SO THAT IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME. THAT THEY UTILIZE IT OR SEE IT. THE OTHER THING THAT'S REALLY GREAT IS THE ACCOMMODATIONS. THE STATUS, GIVING. MANY OF THE COMPANIES WHO ARE DOING ONLINE PROGRAMS ARE ADDING THOSE TO WHAT THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS. SO THAT WAY,

[00:55:06]

I WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO SLIDE FIVE ABOUT THE STAFF PROFILE, AND I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. NOT TODAY, BUT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE MENTOR PROGRAM. I KNOW WE WERE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THAT. AND SO WITH 44% OF OUR TEACHERS BEGINNING OR 1 TO 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD GET SOME FOLLOW UP INFORMATION ON HOW WE'RE ADJUSTING OUR MENTOR PROGRAM TO SUPPORT NEW TEACHERS. WOULD THAT BE? YES. THAT INFORMATION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM MORE MEMORIES. GARCIA ROJAS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TONIGHT. I CAN BARELY REACH THIS. WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO WE ATTRIBUTE THE INCREASE IN OVERALL INCIDENTS TO AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ADDRESS THEM? SO WITH REGARD TO SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO DISCIPLINE, I MEAN, WE RECOGNIZE THAT YOU KNOW A NUMBER OF THE INCIDENTS HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM DEAL WITH SUBSTANCE USE, AND WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN TO ADDRESS THAT RECOGNIZING IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, AS AS AS A PART OF LAST YEAR AS WELL. OKAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IS WE HAVE, UH, INCREASED OUR DRUG AWARENESS COUNSELORS AND THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING THE TWO COUNCILS THAT WE HAVE ON THE CAMPUSES, AND MOST RECENTLY WE'VE HAD TO FAMILY NIGHT PRESENTATIONS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE ISSUES, BUT TO TALK MORE ABOUT THOSE SPECIFIC DETAILS. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DR LANCE HAMLIN, THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT HERE FOR OUR SUPPORT SERVICES.

OH YEAH, I WON'T SAY THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF 58 INCIDENTS. WE HAVE 40 TO THEM.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. ALSO I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT IN 2000 PRIOR TO 2018 THC, WHICH IS REALLY 90% OF THE 40 THE NUMBER 42 THAT YOU SEE ON THIS 90% OF THE TEAM.

TESTING PRIOR TO 2018 WAS CONSIDERED A MISDEMEANOR. SO THEY WOULD NOT EVEN BE ON THIS.
