[3. Administrative Reports]
WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AT THE PRE MEETING, AND SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS.DOCTOR ELDREDGE, DO YOU HAVE ANY REPORTS BY ADMINISTRATION? YES. SO OUR FIRST REPORT IS ITEM FIVE I AND IT IS THE RENEWAL OF A DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WAS STARTED IN 2020. SO I'VE ASKED CARLOS JUST TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THAT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. SO MISS SETTLE. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. NAV IS THE PARENT COMPANY FOR OUR LASERFICHE SOFTWARE. IT OPERATES BASICALLY ALL THE DIGITAL SPHERE OF OUR STUDENT RECORDS SYSTEM. THE MAIN FOCUS OF IT IS OUR STUDENT DOCUMENTS THAT WE REFER TO AS THE CUMULATIVE FOLDERS WITH RECORD LIKE REPORT CARDS, HEALTH FORMS AND THE DISCIPLINARY RECORDS.
IT ALSO IS HIGHLY INTEGRATED WITH ALL OF OUR OTHER SYSTEMS, LIKE THE T-REX SYSTEM WITH THE STATE AS WELL AS OUR FRONTLINE TEAMS. THIS INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SYSTEM OCCURRED IN 2020 AT ABOUT $600,000. AND SO WE HAVE AN ONGOING RENEWAL COST OF 171,000. WE RECENTLY FINISHED SCANNING ALL OF OUR STUDENT RECORDS, SO WE HAVE ACHIEVED DIGITAL STATUS. SO THIS IS A AN OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY THAT STARTED A LONG TIME AGO THAT WE FINALLY REALIZED A VERY EFFICIENT SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS EVERYTHING TO STAY VERY DIGITAL AND GET OUT OF PAPER. AWESOME.
THANK YOU, MISS SETTLE. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? YAY FOR DIGITALIZATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS SETTLE. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. SO SINCE THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2020, NEITHER YOU OR I WERE HERE. SO WE DON'T HAVE A LIST OF PROBABLY WHAT VENDORS WERE LOOKED AT AT THE TIME, RIGHT? NO. A PREVIOUS CFO IMPLEMENTED THE SYSTEM ALONG WITH WELL, YEAH, NEITHER YOU OR I. YEAH, VERY FEW PEOPLE WERE HERE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS SETTLE. SO THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM FIVE K APPROVE OR CONSIDER APPROVE PURCHASE OF CHROMEBOOKS. SO I'VE ASKED MISS DOCTOR STOUT SORRY TO GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF CHROMEBOOKS AND IN A TIMELINE. SO DOCTOR STOUT. THANK YOU. DOCTOR ELDRIDGE SOON TO BE DOCTOR HATFIELD AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. CLICK MY LITTLE PRESENT BUTTON DOWN HERE. THERE WE GO. SOME DATA REGARDING THE CHROMEBOOK PURCHASE. THERE WAS SOME SOME QUESTIONS ASKING ABOUT SOME DATA. SO WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT CYCLE FOR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR HARDWARE.
WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT CYCLE FOR TEACHER LAPTOPS. WE TRY NOT TO USE THEM BEYOND FIVE YEARS BECAUSE THEIR SERVICE DEGRADES. HOWEVER, GOOGLE HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS WITH THE LIFESPAN OF THE CHROMEBOOKS. IF YOU'LL NOTICE, THE COLUMN ON THE RIGHT, THE OH, THAT IS WHEN AUTOMATIC UPDATES END OR EXPIRE. AND SO THEY WILL RUN THE OS ON DEVICES FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS. AND SO THIS IS A AN EXAMPLE OF THE MODELS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN SERVICE. OUR PHILOSOPHY FOR OUR STUDENT CHROMEBOOKS IS IF IT STILL WORKS, WE'RE STILL USING IT AS LONG AS THEY'RE IN DECENT SHAPE. BECAUSE AGAIN, GOOGLE CONTINUES UPDATING THEM FOR SO LONG, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE MOST RECENT MODEL THAT WE HAVE BEEN PURCHASING OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS IS GOOD.
THROUGH 2033, WE PREDICT THAT IT WILL BE A HARDWARE FAILURE THAT MAKES US REPLACE THEM, RATHER THAN HAVING TO UPDATE SOFTWARE. THE LOWER TWO NUMBER, WELL, THE TWO THAT ARE BELOW
[00:05:07]
THE G9'S AND THE G8'S WERE LARGE PURCHASES THAT OCCURRED DURING COVID. AND THEN WE HAVE SOME OLDER MODELS THAT ARE STILL IN SERVICE. AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE SOME CHROMEBOOKS TO ROUND THOSE OLDER ONES UP, PARTICULARLY THE ONES ON THE BOTTOM ROW THAT WERE PURCHASED PRIOR TO 2018. THERE'S A HANDFUL OF THEM THAT WERE ROUNDING UP. WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT ISSUING A DEVICE THAT IS SET TO EXPIRE IN 2027, TO A SECONDARY STUDENT WHO MAY HAVE THAT DEVICE FOR YEARS. SO WE ALSO HAD A REQUEST FOR SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR REPAIR DATA. SO FAR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OVER 6000 TICKETS. OF THOSE TICKETS THAT WERE ENTERED SINCE AUGUST, WE HAVE PROVISIONED CLOSE TO 1200 DEVICES. AGAIN, THAT'S WHEN THE HARDWARE IS TO THE POINT WHERE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED ANY LONGER. THE FEES THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED FOR THOSE 6000 TICKETS, WE HAVE A SLIDING SCALE. AND SO ALL OF OUR FEES THAT WE CHARGE FOR THE DEVICES ARE AT OR BELOW OUR COST. THERE IS NO LABOR CHARGE ON THEM, AND THOSE FEES ARE CUT IN HALF FOR FREE AND REDUCED STUDENTS. THEY ARE COMPLETELY WAIVED FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE IN RECEIVING SPECIAL SERVICES WHERE THEY THEY HAVE AN IEP FOR THEIR DEVICE, AND OUR MCKINNEY-VENTO STUDENTS, THOSE ARE ZEROED OUT IF THEY'RE AND THEN ALSO THE CAMPUS WORKS WITH THE FAMILIES TO THEY EITHER DO PAYMENT PLANS OR THEY WILL WAIVE PARTS OF FEES OR LET STUDENTS DO COMMUNITY SERVICE TO TO WORK THEM OFF, AS OPPOSED TO COLLECTING MONEY. OUR TOTAL UNPAID BALANCE OF FEES RIGHT NOW IS JUST OVER $61,000. THAT GOES BACK TO 2023, AND WE DO A PUSH EVERY SPRING AND EVERY FALL TO GET THOSE FEES BACK.AND THEN FOR STUDENTS, THE SECONDARY STUDENTS THAT HAVE UNPAID FEES AFTER SUMMER SCHOOL IS OVER, WE DISABLE THEIR DEVICES FOR THE SUMMER BECAUSE THEY'RE NO LONGER USING THEM INSTRUCTIONALLY. AND THEN WE TURN THEM BACK ON AGAIN BEFORE THEY COME BACK TO SCHOOL. WE ALSO ARE SENDING REGULAR REMINDERS OF FAMILIES THAT HAVE OVERDUE FEES THROUGH PARENT SQUARE. THE NEXT SLIDE I WANTED TO DO SOME. I WANTED TO ADDRESS THE VERBIAGE THAT IS IN THE REQUEST. TYPICALLY, WE HAVE A SPECIFIC QUOTE AND SAY WE NEED TO ORDER X AMOUNT OF DEVICES AND WE WANT TO PAY THIS MUCH ACCORDING TO THAT QUOTE, THE ONE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR YOUR FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS ACTUALLY A DO NOT EXCEED. AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR DOING THE DNA. MICROSOFT COPILOT MADE ME THAT LITTLE CARTOON DEMONSTRATING THE SITUATION THAT'S HAPPENING. WE ARE FINDING VAST INCREASES IN MEMORY PRICES. IN SOME CASES, THEY'VE GONE UP BY 200% IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU MAY NOTICE ON THE NEWS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF A LOT MORE ADOPTION OF AI TOOLS. THAT IS VERY MEMORY HEAVY AND A LOT MORE LARGER NUMBER OF DATA CENTERS COMING ON BOARD ONLINE THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THEY USE THE SAME TYPE OF MEMORY THAT WE DO THAT, THAT GO INTO THESE STUDENT DEVICES, JUST OBVIOUSLY VASTLY LARGER QUANTITIES. AND SO ONE OF THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THAT IS THAT THE SMALLER CHIPS OR THE SMALLER MEMORY COMPONENTS ARE LIMITED BECAUSE THERE IS NOT AS MUCH OF A BENEFIT TO COMPANIES TO MAKE THE SMALLER ONES WITH A LOWER PROFIT MARGIN. WE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING A SHORTAGE IN THE INTEL PROCESSORS THAT WE INSTALL IN THE CHROMEBOOKS. GOT AN EMAIL TODAY THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT AT LEAST A 12 WEEK TURNAROUND. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE THE PRICES IN MEMORY ARE INCREASING SO MUCH, OUR QUOTE WINDOW WHEN WE GO OUT FOR QUOTES, WE ARE NOW GETTING A 7 TO 14 DAY QUOTE. SO IF YOU DON'T PUT YOUR POE ON, THEY CAN'T PROMISE THE PRICING. AND THEN THEY ALSO ARE QUOTES OFTEN HAVE A CONTINGENCY UP TO 20% BUILT INTO THEM LATELY. AND THEN I ALREADY ADDRESSED THE TURNAROUND TIMES. SO THOSE ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT WHAT HOW AI IS IMPACTING OUR OUR STUDENT
[00:10:01]
DEVICES. SO WE WILL GET A REFRESHED QUOTE IF THE THE AGENDA ITEM IS IS APPROVED TONIGHT, WE WILL DO A REFRESHED QUOTE. WE'RE HOPING TO GET 650 DEVICES AND ORDER THEM IMMEDIATELY. AND THEN THEY WILL BE IN IN TIME FOR SUMMER, WHERE WE OFTEN FIND SEVERAL HUNDRED DEVICES DURING SUMMER CLEANING THAT NEED REPAIR THAT WERE NOT REPORTED DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.AND SO THESE WILL HELP US. THESE NEW ONES WILL WILL HELP US BE ABLE TO ISSUE FRESH, CLEAN DEVICES TO THE KIDDOS IN THE FALL. SO, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT WAS A LOT OF NEW INFORMATION BOARD MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS? JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE IN THE REPLACEMENT CYCLE, BUT THEN ALSO USING THEM IF THEY STILL EXIST. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO RAISE THE COST FOR REPAIRS NEXT YEAR? DUE TO THE INCREASE IN COST OF DEVICES? WE'RE COLLECTING DATA RIGHT NOW.
ACTUALLY, OUR GIANCARLO ESPINAL, THE DIRECTOR OF CLIENT SERVICES, HAS ADDED IN OUR TICKETING SYSTEM WHERE THE TECHNICIANS ARE PUTTING IN THE TIME AND THE ACTUAL COST OF THE PARTS. AND BECAUSE WE'D LIKE TO CALCULATE AND SEE LABOR, SOMETIMES THESE REPAIRS TAKE UP TO AN HOUR AND A HALF AND SEE WHERE THE BREAK EVEN IS ON THE DEVICE. AND THEN WE ALSO PURCHASE ALL OF OUR REPAIR OR ALL OF OUR HARDWARE AND WHATNOT. WE ACTUALLY OUR TECHNICIANS, WE HAVE HP CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIANS. AND SO AS WE GATHER DATA, WE'LL MAKE OUR DECISIONS ON ON WHAT? BECAUSE WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO GOUGE OUR FAMILIES, MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE. GREAT. THANK YOU. THAT'S GREAT INFORMATION. DOCTOR ELDRIDGE, DOCTOR STOUT, THE NEW MACBOOK NEO CAME OUT TODAY, AND IT'S THE COMPETITION TO THE CHROMEBOOK, SO WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. KEEP MOVING ALONG. BUT I DO HAVE TO BRAG ON YOUR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT. I WAS AT A CAMPUS AND IT WAS AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THERE WAS A STUDENT, AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A CHROMEBOOK. AND I SAID, WELL, WHY ARE YOU NOT USING YOUR CHROMEBOOK? AND HE GOES, WELL, I GAVE MY LOGIN AWAY TO MY FRIENDS. SO I GOT LOCKED OUT. AND SO I LOVE THAT WE MONITOR ALL THINGS AND THAT WE KEEP TRACK OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING. SO I HAVE TO BRAG ON YOU ALL FOR KEEPING TRACK OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING. I KNOW, I MEAN, YES, HE'S HE TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY. SO ANYWAY, SO OUR NEXT REPORT IS FROM COREY BLACKBURN, ITEM FIVE M AND IT'S REGARDING THE FURNITURE AT R.L. TURNER HIGH SCHOOL. AND LOTS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT TURNER.
SO MR. BLACKBURN, THANK YOU. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT HATFIELD. DOCTOR ELDRIDGE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. IT'S GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. JUST A FEW NOTES ON THE FURNITURE PURCHASE BEING CONSIDERED TONIGHT. THIS SUPPORTS ABOUT 55 CLASSROOMS BEING RENOVATED, SOME TEACHER PLANNING SPACES, ATHLETIC SPACES, STUDENT COMMONS, THE CAFETERIA AND THE LIBRARY. SO QUITE A BIT OF FURNITURE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
AND TURNER IS GOING TO BE PRETTY AMAZING WHEN IT'S DONE. THEY FINALLY GOT MOST OF THE STEEL UP. IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE. WELL, YOU CAN'T SEE MUCH OF ANY OF IT FROM THE STREET, BUT IT'S COMING TOGETHER AND IT'S MOVING RIGHT ALONG. SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBERS. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FURNITURE MISS BRADY I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT'S 55 CLASSROOMS. I THINK IT WAS LISTED AS LIBRARY. AND I'M LIKE, WOW, THAT MUST BE SOME PHENOMENAL FURNITURE FOR THE LIBRARY. SO 55 CLASSROOMS IS A GOOD NUMBER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR ELDRIDGE, ANY ADDITIONAL REPORTS? I HAD ASKED MR. MORRIS JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE ELECTIONS REAL QUICK, BUT HE HAD AN EMERGENCY TODAY, SO I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE, BRIAN.
AND IF YOU WILL TALK ABOUT THE ELECTIONS, IT'S IT'S ITEM FIVE, G AND H, DOCTOR ELDRIDGE, PRESIDENT HATFIELD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I ALWAYS GET THE EXCITING TOPICS HERE, THE EXCITING AGENDA. SO I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SO I WANTED TO FLIP IT. I'M GOING TO START WITH QUESTIONS. AND I ANTICIPATED WHAT QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK. SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE QUESTIONS AND THEN ANSWER THEM AND SEE HOW CLOSE I GET. SO WHY DON'T WE HAVE A CONTRACT AND WE HAVE A CONTRACT SO WE CAN SPLIT THE WORK, DIVIDE IT UP SO THAT THE THE COUNTIES HAVE ALL THE OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES, BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH WORK FOR ANY ENTITY TO BE ABLE TO DO. AND NEXT QUESTION IS, IS ARE THESE CONTRACTS UNIQUE? NO, THEY ARE NOT UNIQUE. EXAMPLE IS DALLAS COUNTY HAS 44 POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE MAY 2ND ELECTION. AND THEY ALL HAVE THE EXACT SAME CONTRACT THAT YOU WILL BE CONSIDERING TONIGHT. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? WELL, WE DON'T KNOW. NOT YET. IT'S DETERMINED AT THE END. IT'S ALL AT THE END AND IT'S SETTLED UP.
[00:15:02]
AND IT'S INTERESTING. ON HOW THE COST IS DETERMINED. WE DO HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR DALLAS COUNTY 195,000. AND YOU MIGHT ASK, WELL, HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO PRIOR YEARS? AND IT'S CHALLENGING TO COMPARE BECAUSE THE WAY THE COST IS DETERMINED ON HOW MANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS ARE PARTICIPATING IN OUR ATTENDANCE ZONE OR OUR BOUNDARIES. AND THEN THAT IS DIVIDED BY HOW MANY REGISTERED VOTERS WE HAVE. SO THEN YOU HAVE A COST PER VOTER, AND THEN THAT'S AGAIN MULTIPLIED TO DETERMINE THE COST. ARE THERE ANY IMPORTANT DATES? APRIL 2ND IS THE LAST DATE TO REGISTER OR CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS. APRIL 20TH TO 28TH IS EARLY VOTING. MAY 2ND IS ELECTION DAY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COMMEND THE BOARD FOR YOUR INSIGHTFUL YET INTRIGUING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.THAT CONCLUDES ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS. NO, NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WILL BE PERMITTED.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I WAS GOING TO HAVE A QUICK. MR. MARSH. WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, MR. SHACKMAN. IN ADDITION TO YOUR QUALIFICATIONS FOR HUMOR, FIRST OF ALL, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET DENTON COUNTY TO GIVE US BREAKDOWN OF THE WAY THE VOTE GOES? DALLAS COUNTY GIVES US UNDERVOTES, AND DENTON HAS NEVER DONE IT, AND IT'S RIDICULOUS. SECONDLY, CAN WE GUARANTEE THAT THESE CONTRACTS ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE WE GET PROVIDED AN ACTUAL COPY OF WHAT THE BALLOT WILL BE PRIOR TO THE ELECTIONS, BECAUSE IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY. YES, SIR. SO THE RESPONSE TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION IS, IS YOU'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE, AND WE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND WE'VE CONTACTED DENTON COUNTY, AND THEY JUST TELL US IT'S BECAUSE OF THEIR SYSTEM, THEY'RE UNABLE TO DO THAT. I WILL REACH OUT TO THEM TO SEE IF THERE'S BEEN ANY CHANGE, OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO PROVIDE THAT BREAKDOWN. THEY ARE CURRENTLY USING THE SAME SYSTEM AS DALLAS COUNTY NOW, MAYBE A DIFFERENT VERSION, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE RESULTS AND THE REPORTING, IN THEORY THEY LOOK THE SAME. AND LET ME CORRECT WHAT I SAID. IT WASN'T THE SYSTEM. IT'S THE SOFTWARE OF THE SYSTEM ARE. AND YES, THE WE WILL HAVE COPIES OF THE BALLOTS AND THAT WILL OCCUR ON MARCH 13TH. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. MR. MARSH, WHEN YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO OCCUR ON MARCH 13TH, IS THAT THE BALLOT TESTING? YES. IS THAT FOR BOTH COUNTIES? THAT'S JUST FOR DALLAS. WE'RE STILL WAITING ON DENTON. WHEN WE GET THE DATES. CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE THAT TO THE BOARD? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF US HAVE GONE BEFORE TO WATCH IT IN ACTION AND TO ALSO TEST IT JUST BECAUSE OF CUMULATIVE VOTING. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT APPEARS THE WAY WE EXPECT IT TO APPEAR. SO ONCE WE GET THE DATES, WE TRY TO COORDINATE TO MAKE SOMEBODY MAKE SURE SOMEBODY CAN BE THERE. ALL RIGHT. APPARENTLY I DID NOT
[4. Briefing Session with Administrative Staff Regarding the Posted Agenda for the Regular Board Meeting Scheduled for 7:00 PM on March 5, 2026]
ANTICIPATE ENOUGH QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. MARSH. ALL RIGHT, BOARD MEMBERS, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS ITEM FOUR. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CONSENT AGENDA? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. HEARING NONE. WE'VE REACHED THE END OF OUR AGENDA,* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
