THEY PROVIDE THEIR REQUIRED ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE TRUSTEES. THIS COMING SEPTEMBER, AND OUR NEXT MEETING OF THE BOC WILL BE IN OCTOBER. FOR THAT, THE SECOND COMMITTEE THAT I PARTICIPATED IN WAS OUR BOARD POLICY COMMITTEE. WE MET ON JULY 25TH, AND THE OTHER MEMBERS PRESENT THAT FORM UP. THAT SUBCOMMITTEE ARE CAROLYN BENAVIDES, ILEANA GARZA ROJAS, AND THEN MYSELF, WE MET WITH ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM TASB ON THE POLICY UPDATE NUMBER 123, WHICH IS ACTUALLY IN OUR CONSENT AGENDA, TONIGHT, AS ITEM H, I THINK I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID IT IF I DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT, SO THAT UPDATE THAT WE, REVIEWED AND DISCUSSED, INCLUDES, UPDATES TO 12 LOCAL POLICIES RELATED TO LOCAL GOVERNANCE, BUSINESS POLICIES, PERSONNEL POLICY, INSTRUCTION, POLICIES, STUDENT AND A COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, THERE WERE VERY VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS. SOME WERE RECOMMENDED FOR DELETION, BECAUSE THEY'RE INCORPORATED INTO OTHER POLICIES IN OUR MANUAL. ADDING SOME CROSS REFERENCES, AND THEN AS A NOTE, THE DISTRICT IS ALREADY OPERATING UNDER THE MAJORITY OF THESE RECOMMENDED CHANGES. HOWEVER, SOME CHANGES WILL REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES. AND THIS IS ALL DETAILED IN THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE WITH THE BOOK, WE ALSO REVIEWED POLICY DECK LOCAL ON COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS AND DETERMINED THAT A MINOR CHANGE IS NEEDED TO ALIGN THE POLICY WITH THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. SO NOTHING NEW, WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT IN THE HANDBOOK. WE JUST NEEDED TO ALIGN POLICY AND, IT'S MY EXPECTATION OR ASSUMPTION BASED ON SOME OTHER COMMENTS THAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO MEET LATER THIS MONTH, OR SOON. SO WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE. THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANK YOU. ARE THERE? THERE WE GO. I MET WITH THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. I DID MY RECENT ONBOARDING LAST WEEK, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING.

SO WE RESEARCHED NINE LOCAL DISTRICTS, SOME WERE VERY ENCOURAGING OF BOARD MEMBERS HAVING AS MUCH TRAINING AS POSSIBLE. OTHERS HAD NOTHING WRITTEN AT ALL.

TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, OUR CONSENT AGENDA. THE CONSENT AGENDA IS A TOOL THAT THE BOARD USES TO APPROVE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE ROUTINE ITEMS. WE DO THAT BY COMBINING THEM TOGETHER IN A SINGLE VOTE. IT'S. OKAY. WE ALSO DOING TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE USING A BRAND NEW SYSTEM THAT I ENCOURAGED US TO DO. AND I'M MESSING IT UP MORE THAN ANYBODY. OKAY, SO THE NON-ACTION ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION NUMBER FOUR, YEAH. SO FIRST ON THE LIST IS OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY UPDATE AND OUR RACHEL, WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU.OKAY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT SHACKMAN. DOCTOR ALDRIDGE AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. TONIGHT I WILL BE UPDATING YOU ON THE INTRUDER AUDITS CONDUCTED BY TIA VIA REGION TEN. AS YOU CAN SEE, 100% OF OUR CAMPUSES IN CFBISD RECEIVED AN INTRUDER AUDIT WITH NO FINDINGS. A FINDING IS A DEFICIENCY THAT REQUIRES A CORRECTIVE ACTION. WITH THE NUMBER OF CAMPUSES IN OUR DISTRICT, WE RECEIVE INTRUDER AUDITS EVERY MONTH. I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AND SECURITY STAFF FOR BEING VIGILANT WITH EXTERIOR DOOR SECURITY, AND I'M ACTUALLY MISSING THIS SLIDE. THIS IS NOT THE MOST RECENT PRESENTATION, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT NEW FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE TIA'S DISTRICT VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OR THE DVA. WE'VE BEEN PROMISED BY TIA THAT ALL DISTRICTS WILL RECEIVE A DVA THIS YEAR. WE'VE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED HOW MANY CAMPUSES WILL BE TOUCHED. HOWEVER, THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE WILL BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE BY TIA WHEN THE AUDITS WILL BE SCHEDULED AND NOT NEW TO OUR DISTRICT IS ONE OF OUR PART TIMERS, RODNEY CORSON. HE WAS A FULL TIME SECURITY OFFICER, THEN RETIRED AND HAS BEEN WORKING IN OUR DEPARTMENT PART TIME SINCE 2020 TO SUPPORT MARIA AND OUR PATROL DIVISION. WE'RE GOING TO REPURPOSE HIS POSITION AS A CAMPUS AUDITOR, AND THE GOAL IS THAT EVERY CAMPUS WILL BE AUDITED EVERY MONTH RANDOMLY. IF ALL EXTERIOR DOORS ARE SECURE, THE AUDITOR WILL TEST FRONT ENTRY DOOR BELL PROCEDURES. CAMPUS ADMINS WILL RECEIVE AN INFORMAL REPORT AFTER EACH AUDIT, AND THE GOAL IS TO KEEP CAMPUSES VIGILANT AFTER THEY RECEIVE THEIR REGION TEN AUDIT. LASTLY, OUR DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND ITS GRATITUDE TO THE BOARD FOR ALWAYS SUPPORTING OUR MISSION AND NEEDS. YOUR PROACTIVE ACTIONS AND INVESTMENTS IN SAFETY AND SECURITY INITIATIVES. DEMONSTRATE YOUR GENUINE CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE WELL-BEING OF EVERYONE IN OUR CFB FAMILY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS FREEMAN. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? YES, SANDRA. MISS FREEMAN, I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AMAZING SECURITY TEAM. AND CAMPUSES. WHILE I'M NOT SURPRISED, I KNOW THE EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES AND PROTOCOLS. I MEAN, I COULD, LIKE, MAKE A LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS YOU GUYS HAVE DONE, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
AND IT IS QUITE COMMENDABLE TO HAVE NO FINDINGS, NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS, AND 100%, THAT IS AMAZING. THANK YOU. AND I AM SO PROUD. AND I THINK OUR PARENTS SHOULD BE PROUD, AND OUR PARENTS SHOULD FEEL LIKE WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO CREATE A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. AND WE KNOW THAT IT STARTS WITH THAT. AND SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND PLEASE THANK YOUR TEAM, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT WORK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AMAZING. ANYBODY MISS FREEMAN? AGAIN, I ECHO WHAT MISS HATFIELD HAS SAID. AND SAFETY IS ALWAYS A MAJOR PRIORITY FOR US. AND YOU HELP US MAKE IT HAPPEN. AND SO PLEASE TELL ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT WE SAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD. AND NOW A CONSTRUCTION UPDATE. AND MR. BLACKBURN. GOOD EVENING, MR. SHACKMAN.
[00:30:08]
DOCTOR ALDRIDGE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I JUST HAVE A QUICK UPDATE ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON THIS SUMMER, JUST A REMINDER HERE OF THE OVERALL TIMELINE. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BOND WORK IN THREE MAJOR BUCKETS OF RENOVATIONS, REPLACEMENT CAMPUSES AND SAFETY AND SECURITY. AND WE'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS ON ALL OF THOSE, JUST AS A QUICK REMINDER, WE HAVE SPECIAL SERVICES SCOPE. THAT'S HAPPENING AT 24 OUT OF THE 34 SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THERE. WE'VE BEEN INVESTING A LOT OF TIME WITH THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, SARAH ROLAND, AND HER STAFF TO DEVELOP STANDARDS THAT WE ARE WORKING TO IMPLEMENT AT EACH OF OUR, CAMPUSES, WHETHER ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SENSORY SPACE, WHICH I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT. THIS IS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STANDARD THAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS. AND, DIFFERENT CAMPUSES THIS IS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STANDARD. THE GENERAL ARRANGEMENT OF SPACES AND THE ADJACENCIES. AND THIS IS THE HIGH SCHOOL STANDARD. SO THE SENSORY ROOMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT OCCUR AT THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES. AND THESE ARE A COUPLE OF RENDERINGS OF WHAT THESE SPACES WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN WE FINISH THOSE THAT WORK. YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT SPECIAL SERVICES STAFF HAVE SPECIFICALLY SELECTED TO HELP THEM WORK WITH THE STUDENTS. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING THESE, TO THESE CAMPUSES, WE REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'LL BE A REAL A REAL POSITIVE EFFECT FOR THEM, A GREAT TOOL FOR OUR TEACHERS. WE'VE ALSO WORKED AT SEVERAL CAMPUSES INSTALLING PLAYGROUNDS. THIS IS, FREEMAN ELEMENTARY. AND JUST AS AN ASIDE FOR ALL THE, CAMPUSES WHERE WE'RE INSTALLING NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, WE ARE INSTALLING A CANOPY TO GO ALONG WITH THAT PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, THIS IS FREEMAN. THIS IS LANDRY, WE'RE ALSO DOING A COUPLE OF ROOF REPLACEMENTS THIS SUMMER. THIS IS A ROOF REPLACEMENT AT FIELD MIDDLE SCHOOL. HERE IS THE PLAYGROUND AT STARK HERE. AND THEY'RE ALSO DOING A ROOF REPLACEMENT AT STARK, THIS IS MCLAUGHLIN. STRICKLAND AND A, AIR CONDITIONING UNIT REPLACEMENT AT MCLAUGHLIN. STRICKLAND AS WELL. WAS ONGOING THIS SUMMER. AND THE PLAYGROUND AT BLAIR, WE ARE EXPECTING TO GET THE REMAINDER OF THE CANOPIES TOMORROW, ACTUALLY. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THE CANOPIES INSTALLED BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL, SO WE'RE GLAD FOR THAT. WE'VE ALSO, JUST COMPLETED THEIR REPLACEMENT OF THE TURF AT STANDRIDGE. THE RESPRAY OF THE TRACK AT STANDRIDGE. SO ALL THE FALL ACTIVITIES THERE WILL HAVE THE BENEFIT OF REFRESHED FACILITIES THERE. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND THEN ALSO HAVE A QUICK UPDATE FOR THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE ON THE BOND FIBER, IMPROVEMENTS. IF YOU HAVE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS I'LL REFER THEM TO ROBIN, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE HIGH LEVEL, STUFF.SO HERE'S AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE NETWORK UPGRADES. YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE MAKING, THEY'RE PLANNING IT VERY CAREFULLY. AND WE'RE WE HAVE NOT STARTED CONSTRUCTION YET. THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE ENGINEERING, GETTING THE PERMITS SET UP, PLANNING OUT ALL THE WORK, TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. AND STILL IMPROVE OUR NETWORK OVERALL. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AND LET'S SEE. AND THAT WAS IT. SO ANY QUESTIONS? ILEANA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR UPDATE. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE CANOPY THING. IT WAS A HUGE QUESTION OF MINE. OUR PLAYGROUND NEEDS TO LAST FOREVER, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE DON'T EVER GET SO MUCH MONEY. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT SO QUICKLY. I APPRECIATE THAT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS, FOR THE LONGEVITY, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS SPENT OUTSIDE WITH THESE BABIES SO THEY DON'T BURN THEMSELVES ON THE PLASTIC, I APPRECIATE THAT.
SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WORK YOU'VE DONE OVER THE SUMMER. YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE SENSORY ROOMS. IS THAT AT ALL CAMPUSES WITH SPED STUDENTS, IT'S AT THE WE'RE AT. WELL, AS I POINTED OUT IN ONE OF THE SLIDES, WE'RE DOING SPECIAL SERVICES SCOPE AT 24 CAMPUSES. AND THE SENSORY ROOMS ONLY OCCUR AT ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES. THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. SO IF WE'RE DOING WORK AT THE CAMPUS AND IT'S AN ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE, IT SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THOSE ROOMS. THANK YOU. WHAT ELSE, MR. BLACKBURN? THANK YOU. IT'S EXCITING TIMES. GREAT
[00:35:01]
STUFF. THANK YOU. AND NOW WE WILL MOVE TO THE CONSENT AGENDA AGAIN. THE CONSENT AGENDA IS A TOOL THAT THE BOARD USES TO APPROVE A NUMBER OF ROUTINE ITEMS WHICH, TOGETHER WITH A SINGLE VOTE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT. THE PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THIS MEETING INCLUDES A LIST OF ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, AND THE BOARD HAS BEEN PROVIDED AMPLE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE ITEMS IN ADVANCE PRIOR TO ANY ACTION TAKEN ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, BOARD MEMBERS MAY REQUEST WITHDRAWAL OF INDIVIDUAL ITEMS FOR CLARIFICATION OR DISCUSSION. WE HAVE A LENGTHY CONSENT AGENDA IN THIS MEETING. BOARD MEMBERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY ITEMS THAT YOU WISH TO PULL FROM THE AGENDA? HEARING NONE. SEEING NONE. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. IS THERE A MOTION? CAN I MAKE A MOTION THAT THE. WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.THANK YOU. HAVE A MOTION ABOUT ITEM FIVE. IS THERE A SECOND? CASSANDRA HATFIELD HAS SECONDED THE MOTION. ANY DISCUSSION? NO. AND WE WILL ASK FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. ANY OPPOSED? AND NO ABSTENTIONS. SO BY A VOTE OF SEVEN IN FAVOR, ZERO AGAINST.
THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSES AS APPROVED. OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION OR
[6. Items for Discussion and/or Action]
ACTION WILL BE, NUMBER SIX. AND, THERE WERE NO ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO WE'LL SKIP ITEM SIX A AND GO TO SIX B, THE AMENDMENT FOR LOCKER ROOM RENOVATIONS AT THE NATATORIUM.DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THIS NIGHT? WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT WHEN.
OKAY. JUST AS A QUICK SUMMARY FOR WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS ITEM. WE HAD SOME INPUT FROM THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO TRY AND, TAKE CARE OF AT STANDARD STADIUM, ONE. SO THERE'S THREE MAIN COMPONENTS. ONE IS, IMPROVING THE LOCKER ROOM SPACE FOR NATATORIUM USE TO MAKE IT MORE SUITABLE FOR THE NATATORIUM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO DO THAT. SECOND PIECE IS, RENOVATING THE MAIN CONCOURSE HOME SIDE RESTROOMS IN THE STANDS, AND THE THIRD PIECE IS REFRESHING. THE STADIUM LIGHTING, IN PARTICULAR WITH THE STADIUM LIGHTING OR THE ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING. WHEN WE HAVE TRACK AND FIELD EVENTS, THE NORTH END IS VERY DARK AND WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY RENT PORTABLE LIGHTING TO BE ABLE TO HOST EVENTS THERE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT THAT WITH THIS MOTION. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU IF YOU REMEMBER, YOU FIRST RECEIVED SOME DETAIL ON THE WORK IN THE MAY, I THINK THE MAY 10TH BOARD MEMO. MY ONLY QUESTION WAS, AFTER THIS RENOVATION, HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN THE 2018? I DON'T NEED TO THE PENNY, BUT HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD BE LEFT AFTER 2000? IN THAT POT? LET ME CHECK MY NOTES HERE. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 26 MILLION UNENCUMBERED. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. I JUST, A BIT THAT, THIS WAS NOT THE REQUEST OF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT WERE ON THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION IN THE ORIGINAL, BOND 2018 BOND, THAT WE'RE ALWAYS PLAYING. WE JUST KNEW WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WAS GOING TO HAVE. AND THEN THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE TEAM AND THE BOND AND THE FUNDS THAT WERE MANAGED ACCORDINGLY THROUGH, THERE WAS MONEY LEFT OVER THAT WE COULD CIRCLE BACK AND DO THOSE, DO THOSE FOR IT. SO IT WAS AN EXTRA, YOU KNOW, AN EXTRA ASK. THESE WERE ALWAYS THE DESIRE TO BE INCLUDED FROM THE 2018 CITIZENS COMMITTEE. WE JUST
[00:40:02]
MAY NOT WE THEY HAD TO MANAGE IT ACCORDINGLY TO BE ABLE TO FIT IT AND FIT IT IN. OKAY. THANKS.THANK YOU. QUESTIONS BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE A MOTION WE WANT TO MAKE RELATED TO THIS ITEM? MR. BACHIK I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX B APPROVING THE GMP AMENDMENT FOR LOCKER ROOM RENOVATIONS FOR NATATORIUM USE, MAIN CONCOURSE RESTROOM RENOVATIONS AND ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING RENOVATION AND AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT OR HER DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE PURCHASES AND OR CONTRACTS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE DISTRICT. I HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND, MISS GARZA WAS SECONDED. ANY DISCUSSION? NO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. ANY OPPOSED? AND NO ABSTENTIONS.

EVERYBODY WHO IS A MEMBER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY OF SELECTING A DELEGATE TO ATTEND THAT PROGRAM AND AN ALTERNATE DELEGATE AS WELL. AND A NUMBER OF US HAVE FILLED THAT ROLE AT VARIOUS TIMES. IS THERE AN INTEREST IN WHAT ELSE CAN WE ANSWER TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND? IF NEEDED, INFORMATION ABOUT THE TASKS OF DELEGATES?

AND ABSOLUTELY, THERE WAS NO ONE THAT HAD SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. AND I MADE THE EXECUTIVE DECISION TO NOT SPECIFICALLY SPEND TIME WITH THAT, BUT PERHAPS WE WOULD DO IT DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME. I ALSO WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT AND ALSO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT OUR PROCESS FOR AUDIENCE FOR GUESTS IS NOW COMPLETELY ONLINE, SO YOU CAN'T SHOW UP TO A MEETING AND SPEAK. YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A FORM ONLINE. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT THE AGENDA HEARING NONE AND SEEING NONE THIS. WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF OUR AGENDA AND WE ARE ADJOURNED* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
