WEBVTT

00:00:04.108 --> 00:00:05.249
<v Donna>Members, we'll go ahead.</v>

00:00:05.249 --> 00:00:06.082
Oh.

00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:09.690
There might be some, a cell phone close

00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:10.710
to one of these

00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:13.870
things, and that's why it might be ringing.

00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:14.920
Not sure.

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.160
I'm going to go ahead and start our meeting today.

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.930
And we've got a student performance.

00:00:18.930 --> 00:00:20.290
Sue Melton-Malone

00:00:20.290 --> 00:00:23.190
is going to introduce Dr. Gary Gibbs

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:25.990
the Executive Director for Texas Commission on the Arts.

00:00:27.477 --> 00:00:28.910
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] Thank You Madam Chair.</v>

00:00:28.910 --> 00:00:31.540
It is my great pleasure and honor

00:00:31.540 --> 00:00:34.170
to introduce to you Dr. Gary Gibbs.

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.270
Dr. Gibbs has been the Executive Director

for more than 10 years.

00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:41.900
In his role there,

00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:45.320

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.080

00:00:49.461 --> 00:00:51.340
who supports and promotes

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:54.640
the creative industries throughout Texas.

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.370
Prior to joining the Texas Commission on the Arts,

00:00:57.370 --> 00:01:01.163
Dr. Gibbs served as Director of Education and Outreach

00:01:01.163 --> 00:01:05.240
at Houston Grand Opera for 16 years.

00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:07.210
He currently serves on the board

00:01:07.210 --> 00:01:08.860

00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:14.320
and the Mid-America Arts Alliance

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:15.730
and has formally served

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:18.470
on numerous local and national panels

00:01:18.470 --> 00:01:21.503
including the National Endowment for the Arts.

00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.490
We are so glad to welcome him today

00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:28.200
to introduce us to the Poetry Out Loud program

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.240
and to this outstanding student performer.

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:33.822
Please make welcome Dr. Gary Gibbs.

00:01:33.822 --> 00:01:36.072
(applause)

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:38.363
<v ->Thank you.</v>

00:01:38.363 --> 00:01:40.210
I'm delighted to be with you today.

00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:42.973
And I'm proud to introduce Ariel Lynne Moran.

00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:44.930
Texas

00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:47.210
2018

00:01:47.210 --> 00:01:50.220
Poetry Out Loud Champion.

00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:53.020
Poetry Out Loud is a national project

00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:56.100
of the National Endowment for the Arts

00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:58.480
and the Poetry Foundation.

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.600
It is a recitation contest

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:02.400
for high school students

00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.800
who compete for scholarships

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:07.410
and money for their schools.

00:02:07.410 --> 00:02:10.210
Students select three published

00:02:10.210 --> 00:02:12.160
and cherished poems

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.500
from a provided anthology.

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:16.240
They memorize them

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.603
and they recite them.

00:02:18.670 --> 00:02:21.030
These recitations are judged

00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:24.020
on several rigorous criteria

00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:26.670
including physical presence,

00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:29.130
voice and articulation,

00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:31.570
dramatic appropriateness,

00:02:31.570 --> 00:02:33.970
evidence of understanding,

00:02:33.970 --> 00:02:37.830
overall performance and accuracy.

00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:41.630
In the current school year, 2017-18

00:02:41.630 --> 00:02:45.200
over 2,800 Texas high school students

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:47.010
all across our state

00:02:47.010 --> 00:02:50.611
competed in the Poetry Out Loud Program.

00:02:50.611 --> 00:02:53.049
At the February state finals

00:02:53.049 --> 00:02:54.050
hosted by

00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:58.500
the Bullock Texas State History Museum

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.140
here in Austin,

00:03:00.140 --> 00:03:02.630
Ariel emerged victorious

00:03:02.630 --> 00:03:04.283
as our state champion.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.850
Ariel is a sophomore

00:03:06.850 --> 00:03:09.240
at Harmon High School in Lewisville,

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.070
and she will represent our state

00:03:12.070 --> 00:03:14.040
at the national finals

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:19.040
in Washington D.C. on April the 24th and 25th.

00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:23.370
While there, she'll be competing for a grand prize

00:03:23.370 --> 00:03:26.697
of 20,000 dollars in scholarship funds

00:03:26.697 --> 00:03:30.470
and we will be there to cheer her on.

00:03:30.470 --> 00:03:34.110
Would you welcome Ariel Lynne Warren.

00:03:34.110 --> 00:03:36.360
(applause)

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:07.030
<v ->Domestic Situation</v>

00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:08.793
by Ernest Hilbert.

00:04:11.220 --> 00:04:13.993
Maybe you've heard about this.

00:04:15.890 --> 00:04:16.963
Maybe not.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.770
A man came home

00:04:20.770 --> 00:04:23.820
and chucked his girlfriend's cat

00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:27.483
in the wood chipper.

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.403
This really happened.

00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:35.200
Dinner wasn't ready on time.

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:37.853
A lot of other little things went wrong.

00:04:39.650 --> 00:04:42.190
He spat on her father,

00:04:42.190 --> 00:04:46.260
who came out when he learned about it.

00:04:46.260 --> 00:04:47.980
He also

00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:50.050
broke her pinky,

00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:52.113
stole her checks,

00:04:53.049 --> 00:04:54.080
and got

00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:56.010
her sister

00:04:56.010 --> 00:04:57.033
pregnant.

00:04:58.460 --> 00:04:59.680
But

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.900
she stood by him,

00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:02.410
stood strong, through it all.

00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:04.040
Because

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.083
she loved him.

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:07.720
She loved him, you see.

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.383
She actually said that,

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:14.360
and then she went

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.493
and married him.

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.050
She felt some

00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:20.003
unique call.

00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:25.250
Don't try to understand

00:05:25.250 --> 00:05:28.453
what another person means by love.

00:05:30.200 --> 00:05:31.660
Don't

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:32.493
even

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:34.353
bother.

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:40.110
(applause)

00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:49.890
A Celebration of Charis:

00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:50.723
One.

00:05:50.723 --> 00:05:52.150
His Excuse for Loving

00:05:52.150 --> 00:05:53.413
by Ben Johnson.

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.110
Let it not

00:05:58.110 --> 00:05:59.840
your wonder move,

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.950
less your laughter,

00:06:01.950 --> 00:06:03.470
that I love.

00:06:03.470 --> 00:06:04.303
Though

00:06:04.303 --> 00:06:06.050
I now write

00:06:06.050 --> 00:06:08.530
fifty years,

00:06:08.530 --> 00:06:10.010
I have had,

00:06:10.010 --> 00:06:11.600
and have,

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.100
my peers; poets,

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:15.020
though divine,

00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:16.420
are men,

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:19.550
some have loved as old again.

00:06:19.550 --> 00:06:22.140
And it is not always face,

00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:24.930
clothes, or fortune, gives the grace'

00:06:24.930 --> 00:06:27.040
or the feature,

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.640
or the youth.

00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:31.260
But the language

00:06:31.260 --> 00:06:32.830
and the truth,

00:06:32.830 --> 00:06:35.690
with the ardor and the passion,

00:06:35.690 --> 00:06:36.850
gives the lover weight

00:06:36.850 --> 00:06:39.220
and fashion.

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:42.480
If you then will read the story

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.910
first

00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:46.320
prepare you to be sorry

00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:48.630
that you never knew till now

00:06:48.630 --> 00:06:50.770
either whom to love

00:06:50.770 --> 00:06:52.423
or how;

00:06:53.690 --> 00:06:56.690
but be glad, as soon with me,

00:06:56.690 --> 00:06:59.250
when you know that this

00:06:59.250 --> 00:07:00.180
is she

00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:02.373
of whose beauty it was sung;

00:07:03.340 --> 00:07:06.673
she shall make the old man young,

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.190
keep the middle age at stay,

00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:12.833
and let nothing high decay,

00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:16.480
till she be the reason why

00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:20.913
all the world for love may die.

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:25.790
(applause)

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:34.050
What You Have to Get Over

00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:35.283
by Dick Allen.

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.063
Stumps.

00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:41.923
Railroad tracks.

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:44.750
Early sicknesses,

00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:46.660
the blue one, especially.

00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:48.130
Your first love

00:07:48.130 --> 00:07:50.360
rounding a corner,

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.943
that snowy minefield.

00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:57.550
Whether you step lightly or heavily,

00:07:57.550 --> 00:08:00.650
you have to get over to that tree line

00:08:00.650 --> 00:08:03.630
a hundred yards in the distance

00:08:03.630 --> 00:08:05.460
before evening falls,

00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:08.163
letting no one see you wend your way,

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.760
that wonderful, old-fashioned word,

00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:13.593
wend,

00:08:13.593 --> 00:08:14.426
meaning

00:08:14.426 --> 00:08:16.390
to proceed, to journey,

00:08:16.390 --> 00:08:19.310
to travel from one place to another,

00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:22.010
as from bed to breakfast,

00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:23.923
breakfast to imbecile work.

00:08:25.130 --> 00:08:28.416
You have to get over

00:08:28.416 --> 00:08:29.249
your resentments,

00:08:30.090 --> 00:08:31.960
the sun in the morning

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.400
and the moon at night,

00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:34.880
all those shadows of yourself

00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:36.500
you left behind

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:39.003
on odd little tables.

00:08:40.140 --> 00:08:41.500
Tote that barge!

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.400
Lift that bale!

00:08:42.400 --> 00:08:44.640
You have to cross that river,

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:46.030
jump that hedge,

00:08:46.030 --> 00:08:47.720
surmount that slogan,

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.370
crawl over this ego

00:08:49.370 --> 00:08:50.610
or that eros,

00:08:50.610 --> 00:08:52.500
and then hoist yourself up

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:54.983
onto that yonder mountain.

00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:59.240
Another old-fashioned word,

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:00.880
yonder, meaning

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.040
that indicated place,

00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:04.060
somewhere generally seen

00:09:04.060 --> 00:09:06.053
or just beyond sight.

00:09:07.570 --> 00:09:10.250
If you would recover,

00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:12.000
you have to get over

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.483
to that tree line.

00:09:16.330 --> 00:09:19.230
To that shattered autos in the backwoods lot.

00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:22.220
To that bridge in the darkness

00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:24.640
where the sentinels stand

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:25.870
guarding the border

00:09:25.870 --> 00:09:28.460
with their half-slung rifles,

00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:31.153
warned of the likes of you.

00:09:35.048 --> 00:09:37.298
(applause)

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.363
<v ->How about that?</v>

00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:06.540
I could sit and listen to her all day

00:10:06.540 --> 00:10:07.976
and I can claim her, she's mine.

00:10:07.976 --> 00:10:10.900
(laughter)

00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:13.640
Ariel, we have a special recognition certificate

00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:15.360
for you today.

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.750
The State Board of Education

00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:17.990
special recognition

00:10:17.990 --> 00:10:20.020
presented to Ariel Warren,

00:10:20.020 --> 00:10:22.770
state-wide winner Poetry Out Loud,

<v ->Thank you.</v>

00:10:47.510 --> 00:10:49.330
<v ->We're gonna be watching this young lady</v>

00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:51.920
and whenever she wins in D.C.

00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:54.100
We will have her back here

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:56.780
to do some more poetry for us.

00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:58.261
So,

00:10:58.261 --> 00:11:00.060
thank you Dr. Gibbs

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:01.745

<v ->Thank you.</v>

00:11:02.578 --> 00:11:03.411
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] Very much.</v>

00:11:03.411 --> 00:11:04.473
Is this somebody you know?

00:11:04.473 --> 00:11:06.723
(laughter)

00:11:29.745 --> 00:11:31.262
Let's give her one more round of applause.

00:11:31.262 --> 00:11:33.512
(applause)

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.573
<v ->Well, I don't know about you</v>

00:11:44.573 --> 00:11:46.840
but I had goosebumps

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.170
during that entire thing,

00:11:49.170 --> 00:11:51.760
so I was completely mesmerized.

00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:53.260
And the presence to me

00:11:53.260 --> 00:11:54.810
was just so powerful.

00:11:54.810 --> 00:11:56.833
And congratulations, young lady.

00:11:56.833 --> 00:11:59.150
I really wish you the best in the national competition.

00:11:59.150 --> 00:11:59.983
That's wonderful.

00:11:59.983 --> 00:12:01.193
We're very proud of you.

00:12:02.170 --> 00:12:03.080

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.250
I will have our Invocation

00:12:05.250 --> 00:12:06.150

by Miss Perez-Diaz.

00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:17.570
<v ->Good morning, fellow board members.</v>

00:12:17.570 --> 00:12:18.960

wonderful board meeting

00:12:23.110 --> 00:12:23.943

some wonderful decisions

00:12:25.076 --> 00:12:27.740
for our children in Texas.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:29.090
So, if you'll pray with me.

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.550
Lord, God.

00:12:31.550 --> 00:12:33.720
Thank you so much convening this body

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.553

00:12:34.553 --> 00:12:35.800
For allowing us to come together

00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:36.633
to make

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:38.520
positive decisions

00:12:38.520 --> 00:12:40.310
and positive choices for

00:12:40.310 --> 00:12:43.550
the millions of Texas school children.

00:12:43.550 --> 00:12:44.820
We

00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:46.350
ask that you guide us.

00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:47.760
That you provide us wisdom.

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:48.780
The knowledge to know

00:12:48.780 --> 00:12:50.510
that the work that we're doing here

00:12:50.510 --> 00:12:53.280
will trickle down to our districts,

00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:54.290
down to our schools;

00:12:54.290 --> 00:12:55.630
down to the students and the families

00:12:55.630 --> 00:12:57.860
that we serve each and every day.

00:12:57.860 --> 00:12:59.692
We allow you

00:12:59.692 --> 00:13:01.560
the option,

00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:02.393

00:13:02.393 --> 00:13:03.360
to be here with us

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.750
to help guide us in those decisions.

00:13:06.750 --> 00:13:07.780
I ask that you

00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:09.150
keep our minds open.

00:13:09.150 --> 00:13:11.020
You keep our hearts open.

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:12.740
And remember that

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:14.405
we are here to serve;

00:13:14.405 --> 00:13:17.410
that we are here for the children in Texas.

00:13:17.410 --> 00:13:19.410
That we are here for the families,

00:13:19.410 --> 00:13:21.680
and that we continue to work together

00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:22.730
in a positive way

00:13:22.730 --> 00:13:23.900
to make positive changes

00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:27.170
for the future of our great State and our Nation.

00:13:27.170 --> 00:13:28.420
In your name Lord God, Amen.

00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:29.253
<v Board>Amen.</v>

00:13:32.936 --> 00:13:34.293

And we have a couple of invited guests today.

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.220
Very excited to here from.

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:53.580
So, I'd like to call right now

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:54.730

to introduce the Texas Superintendent of the Year,

00:14:58.170 --> 00:15:00.023
LaTonya Goffney.

00:15:05.262 --> 00:15:06.095
And then if Tom,

00:15:06.095 --> 00:15:08.590
if you'll be ready when the next person,

00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:10.023
introduce our next guest.

00:15:17.990 --> 00:15:20.160
<v ->The National Superintendent of the Year Program</v>

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:22.410
is now in its 32nd year.

00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:25.050

and is nationally sponsored

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.620
by the American Association of School Administrators.

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:33.390
The program is designed to recognize

00:15:33.390 --> 00:15:34.530
the outstanding leadership

00:15:34.530 --> 00:15:36.930
of active frontline superintendents.

00:15:36.930 --> 00:15:40.330
Dr. Goffney was the 2018 Texas nomination

00:15:40.330 --> 00:15:42.500

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.740

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:47.567
She was also named the 2017 Superintendent of the Year

00:15:47.567 --> 00:15:50.620
by the Texas Association of School Boards.

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:52.530
Some background on her.

00:15:52.530 --> 00:15:54.670
Dr. LaTonya Goffney was named the Lufkin ISD

00:15:54.670 --> 00:15:57.280
Superintendent in 2013.

00:15:57.280 --> 00:15:58.340
A native of Coldspring,

00:15:58.340 --> 00:16:00.470
Dr. Goffney began her career

00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:04.530
as a language arts teacher in the Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD.

00:16:04.530 --> 00:16:07.500
Additionally, she served as superintendent at Coldspring

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:08.950
for five years.

00:16:08.950 --> 00:16:11.310
Dr. Goffney earned a Masters in Education Degree

00:16:11.310 --> 00:16:12.330
in Administration

00:16:12.330 --> 00:16:15.200
and a Doctor of Education Degree in Educational Leadership

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.290
from Sam Houston University.

00:16:17.290 --> 00:16:18.640
Dr. Goffney was a recipient

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:21.300
of the 2013 Distinguished Administrator of the Year Award,

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:22.850
selected by the faculty

00:16:22.850 --> 00:16:27.090
of Sam Houston State University College of Education.

00:16:27.090 --> 00:16:28.680
In October of 2017,

00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:31.017
Dr. Goffney was named the Texas Superintendent of the Year

00:16:31.017 --> 00:16:33.520
becoming the first African American female

00:16:33.520 --> 00:16:36.140
to ever receive this prestigious award.

00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:38.170
She was recently named the Texas nominee

00:16:38.170 --> 00:16:39.980
for National Superintendent of the Year

00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:42.930
by Texas Association of School Administrators.

00:16:42.930 --> 00:16:44.643
Dr. Goffney is married to Joseph Goffney.

00:16:44.643 --> 00:16:47.670
They have two special children, Joseph Junior,

00:16:47.670 --> 00:16:50.760
who's 18, and Joceilyn, who's 14.

00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:53.210
Dr. Goffney and her husband Joseph

00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:54.730
have co-authored a book titled

00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:55.830
All is Well.

00:16:55.830 --> 00:16:57.860
It's a tribute to their special needs son

00:16:57.860 --> 00:17:01.970
and that story has been featured in several local magazines.

00:17:01.970 --> 00:17:03.740
So that is a formal bio.

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.710
But let me tell you little bit

00:17:04.710 --> 00:17:07.020
about the person behind the bio.

00:17:07.020 --> 00:17:09.750
LaTonya is a one in a million personality

00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:12.230
and a one in a kind person.

00:17:12.230 --> 00:17:15.340
She has a leadership ability unlike I have ever seen

00:17:15.340 --> 00:17:16.830
in any other.

00:17:16.830 --> 00:17:19.720
I was privileged to serve on the board of Lufkin ISD

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.358
that hired her in 2013.

00:17:22.358 --> 00:17:24.009
And as we were going through that process

00:17:24.009 --> 00:17:25.660
we were talking with a gentleman

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:27.290
that was familiar with our candidates

00:17:27.290 --> 00:17:28.750
and he was sharing his thoughts

00:17:28.750 --> 00:17:30.260
on each one.

00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:31.670
And when he got to Dr. Goffney

00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:34.250
he started to say that she's from Coldspring,

00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:35.870
and then he stopped.

00:17:35.870 --> 00:17:36.703
He said

00:17:36.703 --> 00:17:37.536
"I'm just gonna stop right there".

00:17:37.536 --> 00:17:38.369
He said

00:17:38.369 --> 00:17:39.657
"I don't want to steal her thunder

00:17:39.657 --> 00:17:41.607
"Of her powerful story.

00:17:41.607 --> 00:17:43.540
"I want you to hear it from her."

00:17:43.540 --> 00:17:45.820
So now, I'm gonna do the same thing.

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:47.570
I'm gonna stop right here

00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:50.310
and let you hear her powerful story from her.

00:17:50.310 --> 00:17:51.720
I bring to you the 2018

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:52.590
Superintendent of the Year

00:17:52.590 --> 00:17:55.041
and my friend, Dr. LaTonya Goffney.

00:17:55.041 --> 00:17:57.291
(applause)

00:18:01.798 --> 00:18:02.798
<v ->Thank you.</v>

00:18:04.499 --> 00:18:05.332
Whoa!

00:18:05.332 --> 00:18:06.165
(laughter)

00:18:06.165 --> 00:18:07.230
Y'all didn't tell me I was gonna have to follow

00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:09.283
that exceptional student, Miss Warren.

00:18:09.283 --> 00:18:10.810
(laughter)

00:18:10.810 --> 00:18:12.538
But I'm honored to be here, Madam Bahorich,

00:18:12.538 --> 00:18:14.937
and to all the members of the State Board of Education,

00:18:14.937 --> 00:18:17.713
and to my favorite member, Dr. Ellis,

00:18:17.713 --> 00:18:20.490
who served as the president of our school board.

00:18:20.490 --> 00:18:22.520
Dr. Ellis, thank you for your service

00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:24.869
and thank you for remaining a champion for children

00:18:24.869 --> 00:18:27.570
as you've served on the State Board of Education.

00:18:27.570 --> 00:18:28.560
I'm honored to be here.

00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:31.018
And I remember when I was selected.

00:18:31.018 --> 00:18:34.145
My mentor, she sent me a text says,

00:18:34.145 --> 00:18:35.110
Dr. Susan Simpson-Hull.

00:18:35.110 --> 00:18:39.039
And she'd been honored as Texas Superintendent of the Year.

00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.872
She said

00:18:39.872 --> 00:18:41.867
"Take this opportunity to speak up

00:18:41.867 --> 00:18:42.987
"And to speak out

00:18:42.987 --> 00:18:44.550
"On things that matter".

00:18:44.550 --> 00:18:46.140
So when it was brought to my attention

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:47.890
that I would have this opportunity,

00:18:48.924 --> 00:18:51.110
there are a lot of things that I could have spoken up

00:18:51.110 --> 00:18:52.470
and spoken out about

00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:56.080
that I thought the one thing that everyone needs to know

00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:59.990
is the fact that there is power in education.

00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:01.870
Because he read that lovely bio

00:19:01.870 --> 00:19:03.680
and I appreciate you

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.030
allowing me to tell my story

00:19:05.030 --> 00:19:08.240
because only through public education

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.860
is my story even possible.

00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:14.060
And so I wanted to put a face to the reality

00:19:14.060 --> 00:19:15.570
of what our teachers do.

00:19:15.570 --> 00:19:17.590
And you're gonna hear from our Teacher of the Year later.

00:19:17.590 --> 00:19:19.719
But what our teachers do, how it matters.

00:19:19.719 --> 00:19:21.572
Because see,

00:19:21.572 --> 00:19:23.190
there was nothing,

00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:25.390
nothing about my past that would have predicted

00:19:25.390 --> 00:19:27.240
that I would be Superintendent,

00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:29.524
that I would receive the state recognition.

00:19:29.524 --> 00:19:32.264
Because, my mother was 15 when she had me

00:19:32.264 --> 00:19:34.970
and I never knew my father.

00:19:34.970 --> 00:19:37.410
And it was recently when I realized, Dr. Ellis,

00:19:37.410 --> 00:19:38.850
my daughter is 14.

00:19:38.850 --> 00:19:41.737
My mother was actually 14 when she got pregnant with me.

00:19:41.737 --> 00:19:42.910
And I tell you this story

00:19:42.910 --> 00:19:45.140
because this is a story of so many of our children.

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.294
They come from homes

00:19:46.294 --> 00:19:49.504
and they are born into situations that they didn't ask for.

00:19:49.504 --> 00:19:53.514
I could describe my background in graphic detail

00:19:53.514 --> 00:19:54.383
but I'll save you that

00:19:54.383 --> 00:19:56.280
because that's not the point.

00:19:56.280 --> 00:19:57.980
But I do want you to know that,

00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:00.350
during the time when I lived with my mother,

00:20:00.350 --> 00:20:02.500
we lived in homes all across the state,

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:05.120
and there were homes without running water,

00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:06.230
no plumbing.

00:20:06.230 --> 00:20:08.772
So as a child, I had to carry water buckets

00:20:08.772 --> 00:20:11.550
and carry big buckets of water

00:20:11.550 --> 00:20:12.990
so we could have water in the home

00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.850
to the various tasks that were at hand.

00:20:15.850 --> 00:20:18.650
In addition, she waited faithfully

00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:20.450
for any type of assistance

00:20:20.450 --> 00:20:22.110
that she could get.

00:20:22.110 --> 00:20:24.700
She connected with someone

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:27.200
who wasn't the very best father figure,

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.980
and consequently I got to experience

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:32.610
and I got to see things that a child shouldn't see.

00:20:32.610 --> 00:20:34.210
I got to see addiction.

00:20:34.210 --> 00:20:37.960
I got to see all kinds of bad things.

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.870
Bad things that were going on.

00:20:39.870 --> 00:20:41.270
I saw my mother abused.

00:20:41.270 --> 00:20:42.860
They didn't know if she was gonna live through the night

00:20:42.860 --> 00:20:44.860
after a terrible fight.

00:20:44.860 --> 00:20:47.250
I saw them addicted to all kinds of different drugs

00:20:47.250 --> 00:20:49.390
and different things, and I tell you, though,

00:20:49.390 --> 00:20:51.120
but how many know there is a God?

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:52.620
And how many of you know that there's a God

00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:53.580
through public education?

00:20:53.580 --> 00:20:55.620
And both of those saved me.

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:57.880
My grandmother, she took custody of me

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:59.500
and I tell you,

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.780
we still lived in poverty

00:21:00.780 --> 00:21:02.420
but there was so much love

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:04.160
that I was able to overcome

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.960
some of those challenges that I experienced.

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.730
'Cause my grandmother, she taught me the value of hard work.

00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:11.110
She worked as a,

00:21:11.110 --> 00:21:12.540
basically as a maid

00:21:12.540 --> 00:21:13.960
for one of the local families.

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:15.860
She worked hard for minimum wage.

00:21:15.860 --> 00:21:17.200
But she was there early

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.033
and she left late.

00:21:18.033 --> 00:21:19.300
And she did it with dignity

00:21:19.300 --> 00:21:20.640
and she provided for us.

00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.110
And we lived a standard that was beyond and above

00:21:24.110 --> 00:21:26.151
that I had known up until that time.

00:21:26.151 --> 00:21:27.960
But what made the biggest difference

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.047
in addition to the love of my grandmother

00:21:30.047 --> 00:21:33.275
was my experience at school.

00:21:33.275 --> 00:21:34.950
See, when I went to school

00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:37.468
it didn't matter that I was African American.

00:21:37.468 --> 00:21:39.580
Didn't matter that I didn't have a mother

00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:40.710
who was present.

00:21:40.710 --> 00:21:42.570
It didn't matter that I was

00:21:43.602 --> 00:21:44.435
in an area

00:21:44.435 --> 00:21:47.820
that wasn't seen as an exemplary school, or whatever.

00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:49.970
What mattered was that I had teachers who loved me

00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:51.740
and who spoke life into me.

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:54.800
What mattered was that I had principals who believed in me.

00:21:54.800 --> 00:21:56.710
I didn't know what smart was.

00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:58.850
Few people had graduated from high school.

00:21:58.850 --> 00:22:01.050
My grandmother had a 5th grade education.

00:22:01.050 --> 00:22:02.480
But when I went to school

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.110
and I sat by the other boys and girls in class,

00:22:05.110 --> 00:22:06.770
I was told that I was smart.

00:22:06.770 --> 00:22:08.680
I was expected to act smart.

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.917
And then I started to read

00:22:09.917 --> 00:22:12.550
and this whole world opened up to me

00:22:12.550 --> 00:22:14.680
because of the things that had happened

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.930
through my educational experience.

00:22:16.930 --> 00:22:18.187
And so as I went on

00:22:18.187 --> 00:22:19.620
and I was going through school;

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:21.070
I was encouraged to do leadership.

00:22:21.070 --> 00:22:22.820
I was encouraged to do oral reading

00:22:22.820 --> 00:22:24.260
and different things of that nature

00:22:24.260 --> 00:22:25.930
because of teachers.

00:22:25.930 --> 00:22:28.140
Teachers who worked hard,

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:31.760
who added value to every child.

00:22:31.760 --> 00:22:34.910
And so, I was able to become the first person

00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:38.090
in my family to graduate from college.

00:22:38.090 --> 00:22:41.470
And then I reconnected with my high school sweetheart,

00:22:41.470 --> 00:22:44.000
and he's an educator as well.

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.640
And been on this mission

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.560
to touch every child.

00:22:48.560 --> 00:22:49.950
I'm excited about

00:22:49.950 --> 00:22:51.900
the fact that I've been able to serve

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:53.510
in different positions.

00:22:53.510 --> 00:22:54.940
But I'm more excited

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:57.920
about the power of education.

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.360
I know your jobs are tough.

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:01.060
I know sometimes they're tiring

00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:03.366
and I know sometimes you may not even see the reward.

00:23:03.366 --> 00:23:05.610
But what I want to assure you of

00:23:05.610 --> 00:23:08.390
is that public education works.

00:23:08.390 --> 00:23:09.223
You see, my school,

00:23:09.223 --> 00:23:12.280
it never got recognized as a national blue-ribbon school.

00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:15.530
It probably never had a huge banner that said exemplary.

00:23:15.530 --> 00:23:16.680
But I tell you,

00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.400
my story is possible

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.610
because of our local public schools.

00:23:21.610 --> 00:23:24.385
And in every school in which I've served.

00:23:24.385 --> 00:23:26.590
I could talk about A through F forever.

00:23:26.590 --> 00:23:27.423
But what I tell our teachers,

00:23:27.423 --> 00:23:29.000
and what I tell our people

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.620
and what I tell our staff:

00:23:30.620 --> 00:23:33.760
we're not responsible for how kids come to us;

00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:36.210
we're responsible for how they leave us.

00:23:36.210 --> 00:23:37.360
And I'm so proud

00:23:38.230 --> 00:23:39.378
as Superintendent of Lufkin

00:23:39.378 --> 00:23:41.860
I couldn't care less about that A through F

00:23:41.860 --> 00:23:43.841
but the one index that I do appreciate

00:23:43.841 --> 00:23:45.610
is student progress.

00:23:45.610 --> 00:23:48.150
Our teachers have taken that by the horns.

00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:50.970
And our kids may come from some though situations

00:23:50.970 --> 00:23:54.400
but we recognize that the key to success is education

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:55.933
and we earn an A

00:23:55.933 --> 00:23:57.720
for student progress, Dr. Ellis,

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:59.150
and I'm proud of that,

00:23:59.150 --> 00:24:00.610
but I'm even more proud

00:24:00.610 --> 00:24:02.190
that our kids are graduating,

00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:04.450
not just with a high school diploma,

00:24:04.450 --> 00:24:06.100
but they're graduating with choices

00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:07.360
and with opportunities.

00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:10.320
So, I just want to encourage you.

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:12.030
Encourage each of you

00:24:12.030 --> 00:24:14.170
to keep up the good fight of faith.

00:24:14.170 --> 00:24:16.430
Don't let politics, don't let anything

00:24:16.430 --> 00:24:18.090
get in the way of your belief

00:24:18.090 --> 00:24:19.410
in the power of education,

00:24:19.410 --> 00:24:22.220
in the power that exists in our public schools.

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.727
Because without them,

00:24:23.727 --> 00:24:26.260
not only is my story not possible,

00:24:26.260 --> 00:24:28.210
but your story may not be possible.

00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:29.640
And I'm gonna leave you with this quote,

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:30.760
which is one of my favorites,

00:24:30.760 --> 00:24:32.920
and you've probably heard me say it before.

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.160
I know there are some tough times.

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.100
You guys have regular jobs

00:24:36.100 --> 00:24:37.310
and then you take your additional time

00:24:37.310 --> 00:24:39.830
to come together and make decisions on behalf

00:24:39.830 --> 00:24:42.300
of all of the children in Texas.

00:24:42.300 --> 00:24:45.600
But I want you to know that on the worst time,

00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:46.790
on your worst day,

00:24:46.790 --> 00:24:48.050
that you're having a meeting

00:24:48.050 --> 00:24:49.450
and people aren't getting along.

00:24:49.450 --> 00:24:50.793
On your worst day,

00:24:52.730 --> 00:24:54.160
in your positions as members

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.460
of the State Board of Education.

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:57.060
On your worst day,

00:24:57.060 --> 00:24:59.040
you're still some child's best hope.

00:24:59.040 --> 00:25:00.982
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.

00:25:00.982 --> 00:25:03.232
(applause)

00:25:20.501 --> 00:25:22.223
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay, now you got the Chair crying.</v>

00:25:22.223 --> 00:25:24.473
(laughter)

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.107
<v Mr. Maynard>Madam Chairman, pull yourself together.</v>

00:25:28.107 --> 00:25:28.940
(laughter)

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.773
<v Miss Bahorich>Sorry.</v>

00:25:31.730 --> 00:25:32.563
<v Mr. Maynard>Well, members.</v>

00:25:32.563 --> 00:25:34.960
It is my honor,

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:39.363
to introduce, to you, the 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year

00:25:41.010 --> 00:25:43.106
to address you,

00:25:43.106 --> 00:25:46.270
and before I tell you a little bit about her,

00:25:46.270 --> 00:25:48.750
let me just tell you a little bit about the program.

00:25:48.750 --> 00:25:49.683
Each year,

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:52.033
TASA,

00:25:52.033 --> 00:25:53.730
Texas Association of School Administrators

00:25:53.730 --> 00:25:55.260
selects a Teacher of the Year.

00:25:55.260 --> 00:25:59.550
But, in order for a teacher to be considered

00:25:59.550 --> 00:26:03.453
they must first be recognized as a campus Teacher of the Year,

00:26:03.453 --> 00:26:05.410
a district Teacher of the Year,

00:26:05.410 --> 00:26:08.120
and each of the regions

00:26:08.120 --> 00:26:09.720
selects two,

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:12.190
a secondary and an elementary,

00:26:12.190 --> 00:26:13.540
and from this pool of forty,

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.780
there are our six finalists selected.

00:26:17.780 --> 00:26:20.720
And then there's a very rigorous interview process.

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.970
And, by the way, I have served on that committee before,

00:26:23.970 --> 00:26:26.300
and it is an amazing experience

00:26:27.800 --> 00:26:28.890
to have the opportunity

00:26:28.890 --> 00:26:30.900
to visit with these outstanding educators,

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:33.170
these passionate educators.

00:26:33.170 --> 00:26:36.950
It certainly restores your hope

00:26:36.950 --> 00:26:38.370
because it just let's you know

00:26:38.370 --> 00:26:43.370
that there are some outstanding and passionate,

00:26:43.690 --> 00:26:47.930
dedicated, diligent educators out there in our classrooms.

00:26:47.930 --> 00:26:50.930
This year, TASA named Tara Bordeaux,

00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:52.160
the Media Arts teacher

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.140
at Lanier High School here in Austin ISD,

00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:57.930
as the 2018 secondary Teacher of the Year,

00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:01.023
and selected her to represent Texas at the National level.

00:27:02.020 --> 00:27:04.280
Miss Bordeaux has an unusual story

00:27:05.270 --> 00:27:09.513
because she herself is he product of a passionate teacher.

00:27:11.190 --> 00:27:13.450
As she goes about and tells her story,

00:27:13.450 --> 00:27:15.200
it just resonates with a lot of folks

00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.750
because she was a high school drop out one time.

00:27:17.750 --> 00:27:19.600
When she was a junior in high school,

00:27:20.760 --> 00:27:22.240
she lost hope

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.740
and she dropped out of high school,

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:26.820
and a chemistry teacher named Miss Canon

00:27:26.820 --> 00:27:29.730
came to her place of employment at McDonald's

00:27:31.247 --> 00:27:35.120
to talk to her about coming back

00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:37.920
and coming back and reengaging as a student.

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.170
Miss Canon did a lot more than that.

00:27:40.170 --> 00:27:43.133
She actually pulled her back from the brink of suicide.

00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:46.663
A teacher saved her life.

00:27:47.730 --> 00:27:50.300
And I will tell you that this happens

00:27:50.300 --> 00:27:52.400
over and over and over again

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.290
in our schools because Miss Bordeaux,

00:27:56.290 --> 00:27:58.060
like a lot of our teachers,

00:27:58.060 --> 00:27:59.500
doesn't just teach content,

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:01.140
she's teaching students,

00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:02.423
mentoring students.

00:28:03.978 --> 00:28:05.580
And I'm gonna let her tell her story.

00:28:05.580 --> 00:28:08.640
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hand together

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.440
and welcome to this podium,

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.783
the 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year.

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:17.990
(applause)

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:25.300
<v ->Well, if I wasn't nervous then,</v>

00:28:25.300 --> 00:28:26.133
I am now.

00:28:26.133 --> 00:28:27.890
(laughter)

00:28:27.890 --> 00:28:29.170
Thank you for having me.

00:28:29.170 --> 00:28:30.003
Forgive me,

00:28:30.003 --> 00:28:31.750
I'm a little choked up too after hearing

00:28:31.750 --> 00:28:32.760
such a wonderful story,

00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:34.920
and then, you can't even say the name Miss Canon to me

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:36.070
without me getting choked up.

00:28:36.070 --> 00:28:37.370
And anybody who knows me knows

00:28:37.370 --> 00:28:39.130
that you can say that name

00:28:39.130 --> 00:28:40.210
then

00:28:40.210 --> 00:28:41.063
I'm just washed.

00:28:42.750 --> 00:28:44.260
I came today

00:28:44.260 --> 00:28:45.720
in the hopes of speaking on

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.880
how we can bring highly qualified teachers,

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:50.790
more of us, into the profession.

00:28:50.790 --> 00:28:52.960
And I had all these wonderful teachers on my campus

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.970
who are so more advanced than me in education.

00:28:56.970 --> 00:28:57.920
This is only my fifth year.

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.120
I'm still learning to be a teacher.

00:28:59.120 --> 00:29:00.780
I'm a filmmaker at heart,

00:29:00.780 --> 00:29:03.550
and I'm a teacher who's learning to be a teacher, still,

00:29:03.550 --> 00:29:05.230
five years later.

00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:08.800
And I have mentors and teachers on my campus

00:29:08.800 --> 00:29:09.633
who

00:29:10.870 --> 00:29:12.543
I can't say enough about.

00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:14.850
It's those teachers,

00:29:14.850 --> 00:29:16.140
and the teachers like Miss Canon,

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:19.060
that I want to stand up here for today.

00:29:19.060 --> 00:29:20.520
Because we need more of them in the world.

00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:22.260
And it's not just about Texas.

00:29:22.260 --> 00:29:23.620
It's across our nation.

00:29:23.620 --> 00:29:25.300
We need teachers to come into the classroom.

00:29:25.300 --> 00:29:27.580
It's not just about the content, as he mentioned,

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:29.893
it's not about just how much rigor

00:29:29.893 --> 00:29:31.700
can we throw at these kids.

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:33.300
As teachers who are passionate of our subject,

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:35.420
of course, whether you're teaching film or math,

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:36.430
you want to get into the classroom and

00:29:36.430 --> 00:29:38.200
you want those kids to walk out

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.160
statisticians or filmmakers or veterinarians

00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.520
or whatever you're passionate about.

00:29:42.520 --> 00:29:44.580
You want to pass that passion on.

00:29:44.580 --> 00:29:46.010
But what happens if you walk into the classroom

00:29:46.010 --> 00:29:47.620
with no passion.

00:29:47.620 --> 00:29:48.870
If you go into the classroom

00:29:48.870 --> 00:29:50.130
and you think you have passion,

00:29:50.130 --> 00:29:52.380
but after your first month or two at teaching,

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:56.480
you aren't really shown exactly how to teach

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.500
because there's no textbook, cookie-cutter way

00:29:58.500 --> 00:30:00.750
to make a teacher teach

00:30:02.290 --> 00:30:03.283
in my opinion.

00:30:05.210 --> 00:30:07.160
And when I think of Miss Canon

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:09.093
and what she did to save my life.

00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:12.290
It was the same week that I was gonna take my life

00:30:12.290 --> 00:30:13.670
that a teacher-

00:30:13.670 --> 00:30:16.050
I can't tell you anything that I learned in chemistry year;

00:30:16.050 --> 00:30:17.197
please don't tell her that.

00:30:17.197 --> 00:30:18.030
(laughter)

00:30:18.030 --> 00:30:19.320
I don't think in 25 years I've told her that.

00:30:19.320 --> 00:30:22.270
I can't remember anything about chemistry.

00:30:22.270 --> 00:30:24.400
But I know what it feels like now

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.560
to love another person,

00:30:25.560 --> 00:30:27.360
to care about another human being,

00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:29.750
even if I don't understand their full story,

00:30:29.750 --> 00:30:31.360
I hear their story.

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:32.470
And we have to make sure

00:30:32.470 --> 00:30:35.180
that we're bringing in teachers who can do that.

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:38.270
Who can come into a classroom and love the kids.

00:30:38.270 --> 00:30:39.650
It is about loving these kids.

00:30:39.650 --> 00:30:40.990
It is about loving every kid.

00:30:40.990 --> 00:30:42.060
There is no

00:30:42.060 --> 00:30:44.590
this kid who makes A's and B's deserves the love,

00:30:44.590 --> 00:30:45.423
or this school.

00:30:45.423 --> 00:30:46.650
It's not about school versus school

00:30:46.650 --> 00:30:47.700
and district versus district

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.280
and teacher versus teacher.

00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:51.240
It's about the students, first and foremost,

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:53.440
so the teachers that we bring in

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:55.881
have to be teachers that love.

00:30:55.881 --> 00:30:57.810
And I'm not sure how you teach that.

00:30:57.810 --> 00:31:00.090
I'm not even sure how you rate that

00:31:00.090 --> 00:31:01.910
or you can rank that.

00:31:01.910 --> 00:31:03.160
But you have to.

00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.100
You have to love the kids.

00:31:05.100 --> 00:31:06.601
And so, the teachers that I spoke to on my campus

00:31:06.601 --> 00:31:08.367
and I asked them who've been teaching for five years,

00:31:08.367 --> 00:31:10.560
and 10 years, and 20, and 30 years.

00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:11.970
What could Texas do?

00:31:11.970 --> 00:31:15.380
What can we do to help teachers come into the field

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:17.040
want to become teachers?

00:31:17.040 --> 00:31:20.050
And I got answers that resulted in, let's grow our own.

00:31:20.050 --> 00:31:21.680
Let's start our Read, Set, Teach programs,

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.240
and let's teach kids from the ground up

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:25.270
how to become teachers and give them that experience.

00:31:25.270 --> 00:31:27.440
And we have amazing teachers that do that.

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:28.900
We have other teachers who said,

00:31:28.900 --> 00:31:30.090
of course, across the board,

00:31:30.090 --> 00:31:32.870
30 teachers, out of the 30 that I surveyed,

00:31:32.870 --> 00:31:34.280
increase the pay.

00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:36.400
But it's not just about pay.

00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.940
It's about what that pay does for their livelihood

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:41.163
outside of the classroom.

00:31:41.163 --> 00:31:43.420
Because if a teacher is stressed

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:45.272
over money, over bills,

00:31:45.272 --> 00:31:47.310
over how their gonna put food on their own table

00:31:47.310 --> 00:31:48.420
while they're still trying to put food

00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:49.960
on their students desk

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:51.410
to make sure their students are eating.

00:31:51.410 --> 00:31:53.670
How do they stay in those high-need schools?

00:31:53.670 --> 00:31:54.740
How do they do that?

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:56.740
Because many of us, like here in Austin,

00:31:58.490 --> 00:31:59.710
we know there are some issues

00:31:59.710 --> 00:32:01.138
with recapture and things like that.

00:32:01.138 --> 00:32:01.971
And I could get political,

00:32:01.971 --> 00:32:02.804
and I could go into those things,

00:32:02.804 --> 00:32:04.340
but at the very core of it,

00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:06.593
it comes down to teacher's stories

00:32:06.593 --> 00:32:08.460
and what they're going through.

00:32:08.460 --> 00:32:10.043
And making sure that they are,

00:32:12.272 --> 00:32:13.450
I don't want to use mentally capable,

00:32:13.450 --> 00:32:14.480
because they're very capable.

00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.300
It's to make sure that they have

00:32:16.300 --> 00:32:17.650
the social and emotional needs met

00:32:17.650 --> 00:32:19.850
just as much as we're meeting them for our students.

00:32:19.850 --> 00:32:22.720
Because just as we differentiate for our kids,

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.900
we have to do that for teachers to.

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:26.100
Because our teachers

00:32:27.430 --> 00:32:30.250
are at the heart of everything in the classroom right now.

00:32:30.250 --> 00:32:31.500
And I'm not talking about just myself.

00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:33.260
I'm talking about these teachers who are teaching

00:32:33.260 --> 00:32:34.510
to core content,

00:32:34.510 --> 00:32:35.420
to test areas

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:37.190
where they don't get the creative,

00:32:37.190 --> 00:32:38.023
they have restrictions on them

00:32:38.023 --> 00:32:41.290
that I don't have necessarily in a CTE class.

00:32:41.290 --> 00:32:42.610
My restrictions aren't to a test

00:32:42.610 --> 00:32:44.860
so I can do different things.

00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:46.820
But then you also come into those CTE teachers

00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:48.070
who say

00:32:48.070 --> 00:32:49.490
we may not have a test

00:32:49.490 --> 00:32:51.470
but we're running small businesses out of our classroom.

00:32:51.470 --> 00:32:52.970
Our kids are entrepreneurs.

00:32:52.970 --> 00:32:54.150
They're making money.

00:32:54.150 --> 00:32:56.020
These kids are working sometimes seven in the morning

00:32:56.020 --> 00:32:58.725
till seven o'clock at night in Ag programs

00:32:58.725 --> 00:33:00.713
to become veterinarians,

00:33:01.750 --> 00:33:02.600
to become,

00:33:03.970 --> 00:33:04.890
in cosmetology.

00:33:04.890 --> 00:33:05.880
All these different things

00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.600
where they're running small businesses.

00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:09.299
And CTE teachers are doing

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:10.640
inventory

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.420
and getting scholarships for our kids

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:15.040
and we're connecting them with industry partnerships.

00:33:15.040 --> 00:33:16.550
How do we help advance all that?

00:33:16.550 --> 00:33:19.600
How do we continue to look at those teachers who feel

00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:20.600
that they might be doing more

00:33:20.600 --> 00:33:22.650
than this teacher over here

00:33:22.650 --> 00:33:23.910
in a core class.

00:33:23.910 --> 00:33:26.564
But this core teacher might think that this teacher in CTE

00:33:26.564 --> 00:33:28.382
doesn't teach to a test.

00:33:28.382 --> 00:33:31.130
How do we get those two to see each other's sides?

00:33:31.130 --> 00:33:32.000
Because if we could stop

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.140
putting the competition amongst teachers

00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:35.390
and actually get teachers

00:33:36.623 --> 00:33:39.070
and leaders like yourself to work together,

00:33:39.070 --> 00:33:41.020
I think that we can actually

00:33:41.020 --> 00:33:42.890
get people who want to become teachers.

00:33:42.890 --> 00:33:44.000
But we want people to become

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.950
to want to become teachers

00:33:44.950 --> 00:33:46.850
we have to respect this as a profession

00:33:46.850 --> 00:33:48.150
and not a job.

00:33:48.150 --> 00:33:50.034
And that's what

00:33:50.034 --> 00:33:52.170
all 30 people said

00:33:52.170 --> 00:33:55.260
was how do we make that happen?

00:33:55.260 --> 00:33:56.820
And so I asked you that question

00:33:56.820 --> 00:33:57.660
because I don't have that answer.

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:59.970
I'm still only a five-year teacher

00:33:59.970 --> 00:34:01.210
and I can tell you that

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:03.590
I love kids,

00:34:03.590 --> 00:34:05.160
teachers have to love their kids

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.320
they have to be passionate,

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:08.450
it's not just about content.

00:34:08.450 --> 00:34:10.260
But when I get them in the door

00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:11.660
then we have to stop teachers

00:34:11.660 --> 00:34:12.720
from walking out of it.

00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:14.730
Because if all they see are teachers leaving the profession

00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:16.070
because it's too hard,

00:34:16.070 --> 00:34:18.660
because they're not trained properly to handle

00:34:18.660 --> 00:34:20.270
certain situations

00:34:20.270 --> 00:34:22.350
how can we ever tell someone how amazing it is

00:34:22.350 --> 00:34:23.980
to be what I am

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:24.863
and do what I do.

00:34:27.255 --> 00:34:28.400
That's a lot.

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:29.490
I threw it at you.

00:34:29.490 --> 00:34:30.690
(laughter)

00:34:30.690 --> 00:34:31.523
Now go and fix it;

00:34:31.523 --> 00:34:32.525
no, I'm just kidding.

00:34:32.525 --> 00:34:33.990
I'm just kidding.

00:34:33.990 --> 00:34:35.780
But I did want to leave it in case anyone had answers

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:37.510
because I can share stats;

00:34:37.510 --> 00:34:39.060
and we all know statistics.

00:34:39.060 --> 00:34:41.056
But if I could share one small story

00:34:41.056 --> 00:34:44.500
that a teacher shared with me last night.

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:47.807
As we think about going forward with teachers

00:34:47.807 --> 00:34:49.343
and we talk about pay,

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:51.970
this is something that,

00:34:51.970 --> 00:34:53.530
it hit me.

00:34:53.530 --> 00:34:55.840
On December 25th, 2016,

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.150
my wife, Marilyn, and I woke up in our beautiful new home.

00:34:59.150 --> 00:35:02.150
We had saved diligently for six years to buy this house.

00:35:02.150 --> 00:35:03.170
We had saved the most money

00:35:03.170 --> 00:35:04.310
we've ever saved in our lives,

00:35:04.310 --> 00:35:06.380
and it was one of our proudest moments as a couple

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:08.220
when we closed on our home.

00:35:08.220 --> 00:35:09.520
Now, just one year later

00:35:09.520 --> 00:35:10.353
we're already concerned

00:35:10.353 --> 00:35:12.070
about the affordability of our mortgage.

00:35:12.070 --> 00:35:13.290
In the first year of our new home

00:35:13.290 --> 00:35:15.720
we saw our property taxes go up 25%.

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:18.760
This increased our mortgage by 200 dollars a month.

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:20.260
Now I'm faced with two options.

00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:21.680
The first is to lose our home

00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:23.460
and continue serving the children in the community

00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:25.070
I care so deeply for;

00:35:25.070 --> 00:35:27.480
or leave the job I love in search of another job

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.350
that will allow us to save our dream home.

00:35:29.350 --> 00:35:30.940
And as for growing our family,

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:32.550
well that isn't even an option right now

00:35:32.550 --> 00:35:34.690
because it'll probably bankrupt us.

00:35:34.690 --> 00:35:37.013
My name is Miguel Briones and I'm a teacher.

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:40.420
We talked last night after a meeting.

00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:41.400
Those are the types of things

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.570
that teachers are fearing right now.

00:35:43.570 --> 00:35:45.340
How can they pay their bills

00:35:45.340 --> 00:35:47.940
and also take care of what's happening in the class room?

00:35:47.940 --> 00:35:50.360
And if they're stressed, the students feel it.

00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:51.810
So, that I think is how,

00:35:51.810 --> 00:35:52.700
that's the main question.

00:35:52.700 --> 00:35:55.700
How can we truly help teachers have that balance

00:35:55.700 --> 00:35:57.400
between their personal life

00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:58.360
and their professional life.

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.670
Because for us teaching is personal.

00:36:00.670 --> 00:36:02.420
And so you're asking us

00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:05.010
to sometimes sacrifice between ourselves

00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:05.970
and our kids

00:36:05.970 --> 00:36:07.942
and how do we fix that?

00:36:07.942 --> 00:36:09.107
That's what I have to say today.

00:36:09.107 --> 00:36:11.357
(applause)

00:36:22.490 --> 00:36:24.370
<v Mr. Maynard>Tara, just on,</v>

00:36:24.370 --> 00:36:28.020
proud to call you a colleague and a constituent.

00:36:28.020 --> 00:36:29.610
On behalf of the State Board of Education

00:36:29.610 --> 00:36:30.930
we'd like to present you

00:36:30.930 --> 00:36:33.276
with this certificate of recognition.

00:36:33.276 --> 00:36:35.254
<v Tara>Thank you very much.</v>

00:36:35.254 --> 00:36:36.087
Thank you.

00:36:36.087 --> 00:36:36.920
No problem.

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.170
(applause)

00:36:42.310 --> 00:36:43.870
<v Miss Bahorich>Both of you were just phenomenal</v>

00:36:43.870 --> 00:36:45.220
and we're so honored

00:36:45.220 --> 00:36:47.210
that you were both here.

00:36:47.210 --> 00:36:49.570
Very inspiring.

00:36:49.570 --> 00:36:50.990
Thank you so much.

00:36:50.990 --> 00:36:52.170
And we really thank you

00:36:52.170 --> 00:36:53.950
for all the work you continue to do

00:36:53.950 --> 00:36:58.130
to support all the children that you see and touch everyday.

00:36:58.130 --> 00:37:00.510
So, we're grateful for both of you.

00:37:00.510 --> 00:37:03.083
And you are Texas treasures for sure.

00:37:05.190 --> 00:37:07.417
I want to go ahead and get started with our meeting

00:37:07.417 --> 00:37:09.203
and the approval of the minutes.

00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:13.910
Is there any change to the minutes

00:37:13.910 --> 00:37:17.773
from February 2nd, 2018 meeting?

00:37:18.730 --> 00:37:21.133
Hearing none, minutes are adopted.

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:25.160
And next item on our agenda

00:37:25.160 --> 00:37:27.320
is the approval of the Consent Agenda.

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:29.270
And I'll just read each of these out

00:37:29.270 --> 00:37:32.546
to make sure that all the members know

00:37:32.546 --> 00:37:34.413
what's on the Consent Agenda.

00:37:35.540 --> 00:37:37.210

00:38:05.823 --> 00:38:08.393
Decision on real estate investments.

00:38:09.570 --> 00:38:10.820
Mrs. Miller.

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:12.100
Makes sure it's noted Mrs. Miller

00:38:12.100 --> 00:38:14.050
would like to recuse herself from that.

00:38:14.900 --> 00:38:15.860
Number five.

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:19.460
Approval of an extension of the standard contract

00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:21.920

00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.500
and authorization for contract execution

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:26.423
by the Commissioner of Education.

00:38:27.290 --> 00:38:28.670
Number six.

00:38:28.670 --> 00:38:32.050
Review of the Permanent School Fund benchmarks.

00:38:47.860 --> 00:38:48.900
And number nine,

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:51.390

on evaluating student academic performance

00:38:54.010 --> 00:38:57.523
for the months of February through April 2018.

00:39:00.540 --> 00:39:04.647
All those in favor of adopting the Consent Agenda say aye.

00:39:04.647 --> 00:39:05.480
<v Board>Aye.</v>

00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:07.040
<v ->All those opposed, say no.</v>

00:39:07.040 --> 00:39:10.420
Consent Agenda has been approved.

00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:11.253
Alright.

00:39:11.253 --> 00:39:13.200
I believe, Mr. Rowley, you are up

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:15.450
with the Committee of the Full Board items.

00:39:15.450 --> 00:39:16.283
<v Mr. Rowley>Okay.</v>

00:39:16.283 --> 00:39:17.680
So, if you'll take your minutes

00:39:17.680 --> 00:39:19.633
from the Committee of the Full Board.

00:39:20.730 --> 00:39:21.563
For the most part

00:39:21.563 --> 00:39:22.740
we're gonna follow those minutes.

00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:24.940
I'll tell you where we deviate

00:39:24.940 --> 00:39:26.900
and we can go from there.

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:29.120
So the first item

00:39:29.120 --> 00:39:30.860
is Board Agenda

00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:34.380
item number two.

00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:38.020
That's on I-1, page I-1.

00:39:38.020 --> 00:39:39.710
It's Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills

00:39:39.710 --> 00:39:41.703
for Mexican-American Studies.

00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:43.733
Madam Chair, I recommend

00:39:43.733 --> 00:39:46.870
that the State Board of Education instruct staff

00:39:46.870 --> 00:39:48.380
to prepare rule text

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:50.290
based on the currently approved

00:39:50.290 --> 00:39:51.720
Mexican-American studies

00:39:51.720 --> 00:39:55.319
innovative course submitted by Houston ISD

00:39:55.319 --> 00:39:57.760
and to present the item for first reading

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.500
and filing authorization

00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:02.210
at the June 2018 meeting

00:40:02.210 --> 00:40:03.380
and to name the course

00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:05.010
Ethnic Studies, an Overview

00:40:05.010 --> 00:40:07.103
of Americans of Mexican Descent.

00:40:11.455 --> 00:40:12.500
Alright members.

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.030
You've heard the motion before you.

00:40:14.030 --> 00:40:16.380
All those in favor say aye.

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.733
<v Board>Aye.</v>

00:40:17.733 --> 00:40:18.933
<v ->Oh, I'm sorry.</v>

00:40:20.140 --> 00:40:20.973
Yes.

00:40:21.993 --> 00:40:22.950
Mr. Cortez.

00:40:22.950 --> 00:40:23.783
<v Mr. Cortez>What is the</v>

00:40:23.783 --> 00:40:26.050
name of the actual innovative course

00:40:26.050 --> 00:40:27.290
that Houston has?

00:40:27.290 --> 00:40:28.260
What's that name?

00:40:28.260 --> 00:40:29.093
Can somebody give me?

00:40:29.093 --> 00:40:30.637
I don't know what that is.

00:40:32.610 --> 00:40:35.800
I know we've been talking about Mexican-American studies

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:40.090
but I want to know what the name innovative course is.

00:40:40.090 --> 00:40:42.190
<v Miss Bahorich>It is Mexican-American Studies.</v>

00:40:42.190 --> 00:40:43.023
<v ->Okay.</v>

00:40:43.023 --> 00:40:44.710
Somebody told me it was Mexican-American History

00:40:44.710 --> 00:40:46.820
or something like that.

00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:48.964
<v Miss Bahorich>Mexican-American Studies.</v>

00:40:48.964 --> 00:40:49.797
<v ->Okay.</v>

00:40:52.229 --> 00:40:54.510
I would urge the board,

00:40:54.510 --> 00:40:56.090
I guess one last time that

00:40:57.180 --> 00:40:58.350
this name...

00:41:00.050 --> 00:41:02.793
The name that was given for this course,

00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:05.990
I don't know if some of you have already read

00:41:05.990 --> 00:41:08.370
some of these papers, but

00:41:08.370 --> 00:41:10.180
a lot of people are just deeply offended

00:41:10.180 --> 00:41:14.440
that the board has gone in this direction,

00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.900
and I would urge you guys to consider just

00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:19.010
keeping the name,

00:41:19.010 --> 00:41:21.713
with the name that the Houston innovative course has.

00:41:23.860 --> 00:41:26.500
I don't know if this is an appropriate time

00:41:26.500 --> 00:41:28.230
maybe to ask for

00:41:30.210 --> 00:41:31.043
an amendment

00:41:31.043 --> 00:41:32.980
to make that change

00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:36.850
or do we have to approve the main motion

00:41:36.850 --> 00:41:38.483
that Mr. Rowley is making.

00:41:39.870 --> 00:41:42.980
But, I would urge all of you

00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:44.683
to please reconsider.

00:41:46.210 --> 00:41:47.893
So, is this the time?

00:41:47.893 --> 00:41:48.726
<v Woman>Yes.</v>

00:41:48.726 --> 00:41:49.850
<v ->Okay.</v>

00:41:49.850 --> 00:41:53.300
So, I would move to amend the name

00:41:53.300 --> 00:41:55.120
and keep it

00:41:55.120 --> 00:41:55.953
in line

00:41:55.953 --> 00:41:58.660
with what the Houston Innovative Course name is.

00:41:58.660 --> 00:42:01.850
Whatever Houston ISD named it,

00:42:01.850 --> 00:42:04.290
that's what I would recommend

00:42:04.290 --> 00:42:06.113
that we move forward with.

00:42:14.307 --> 00:42:15.140
Okay.

00:42:21.914 --> 00:42:24.630
<v Mr. Rowley>Madam Chair.</v>

00:42:24.630 --> 00:42:25.570
Of course, Member Cortez

00:42:25.570 --> 00:42:26.960
can explain what he wants to do

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.100
but I think, mechanically,

00:42:29.100 --> 00:42:33.100
what he's talking about is to strike the motion

00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:35.200
beginning with "to name the course

00:42:35.200 --> 00:42:36.033
"Ethic Studies;

00:42:36.033 --> 00:42:38.190
"an Overview of Americans of Mexican descent."

00:42:38.190 --> 00:42:39.177
To strike that

00:42:39.177 --> 00:42:40.210
and to insert

00:42:40.210 --> 00:42:42.623
"and to name the course Mexican-American studies."

00:42:43.490 --> 00:42:44.981
That right?

00:42:44.981 --> 00:42:45.814
<v Miss Bahorich>I don't even think we need to do anything</v>

00:42:45.814 --> 00:42:48.338
<v Mr. Cortez>To stay the name of that Houston.</v>

00:42:48.338 --> 00:42:50.566
Whatever the name of the Houston course was,

00:42:50.566 --> 00:42:51.460
that's the name--

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:52.960
<v Miss Bahorich>If we just delete the name</v>

00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:56.670
it would default to as it was before.

00:42:56.670 --> 00:42:59.400
I don't think we need to substitute anything.

00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:01.490
We would just need to delete that end part

00:43:01.490 --> 00:43:02.550
if that's the motion.

00:43:02.550 --> 00:43:03.390
<v Mr. Cortez>Is that correct?</v>

00:43:03.390 --> 00:43:05.740
Well then I would move to strike that language.

00:43:07.380 --> 00:43:08.213
<v ->Is there second?</v>

00:43:08.213 --> 00:43:09.046
Okay.

00:43:09.046 --> 00:43:10.990
<v Mr. Cortez>And again, my rationale is that,</v>

00:43:10.990 --> 00:43:12.720
I think if the Houston ISD course

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:14.120
was already named something.

00:43:16.925 --> 00:43:18.250
If the intent is to do that,

00:43:18.250 --> 00:43:22.760
and then we had separate motion that came in after that.

00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:23.970
And I will say that

00:43:26.824 --> 00:43:28.410
I'm very proud that the board

00:43:28.410 --> 00:43:29.760
took that bold step

00:43:31.436 --> 00:43:33.750
and approved the other courses

00:43:33.750 --> 00:43:37.120
based of off any potential incoming

00:43:38.050 --> 00:43:39.250
innovative courses

00:43:39.250 --> 00:43:41.770
that may come in.

00:43:41.770 --> 00:43:43.380
And I can't find it, but--

00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:45.245
<v Miss Bahorich>Yeah, it was Native American studies.</v>

00:43:45.245 --> 00:43:46.078
<v ->Right.</v>

00:43:46.078 --> 00:43:46.911
<v Miss Bahorich>Latino studies; African American studies.</v>

00:43:46.911 --> 00:43:51.911
<v ->But on none of those votes did I hear the board say,</v>

00:43:52.080 --> 00:43:54.110
yeah we're gonna approve them but

00:43:54.110 --> 00:43:59.110
it'll be called Americans of African Descent, An Overview.

00:44:00.220 --> 00:44:02.880
On none of those did I hear you all say that.

00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:05.470
But, yet on this one, that one was pulled out

00:44:05.470 --> 00:44:06.433
and called out.

00:44:07.293 --> 00:44:09.610
And I'm not sure why but please.

00:44:09.610 --> 00:44:11.750
I would urge you to support the motion.

00:44:11.750 --> 00:44:12.583
Just keep it the way

00:44:12.583 --> 00:44:15.830
that Houston Independent School District introduced it

00:44:15.830 --> 00:44:16.770
and named it.

00:44:16.770 --> 00:44:19.530
And let's just go back to what we had before.

00:44:19.530 --> 00:44:20.998
Miss Perez-Diaz.

00:44:20.998 --> 00:44:22.350
Thank you Madam Chair.

00:44:22.350 --> 00:44:25.553
I just want to reiterate that the...

00:44:27.210 --> 00:44:29.240
Without trying to be redundant

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:30.540
I am

00:44:31.450 --> 00:44:33.140
in support of the amendment

00:44:34.250 --> 00:44:36.620
to keep the course named Mexican-American studies

00:44:36.620 --> 00:44:40.210
because it seems to be the only course that was singled out

00:44:40.210 --> 00:44:42.507
for the name change.

00:44:42.507 --> 00:44:45.840
Again speaking to Member Cortez's point

00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:46.820
on the second motion.

00:44:46.820 --> 00:44:49.533
And I think that if we're going to,

00:44:50.660 --> 00:44:52.060
if we're going to be genuine about looking

00:44:52.060 --> 00:44:53.210
at these ethnic studies courses,

00:44:53.210 --> 00:44:54.120
then I think keeping with the name

00:44:54.120 --> 00:44:55.410
of Mexican-American Studies

00:44:55.410 --> 00:44:57.530
is the most appropriate thing to do.

00:44:57.530 --> 00:45:00.110
Especially as we listened to,

00:45:00.110 --> 00:45:03.321
over the last several years, multiple experts in the field

00:45:03.321 --> 00:45:06.103
on what this course should look like.

00:45:07.410 --> 00:45:09.320
So I stand in favor of the amendment,

00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.370
or I stand in favor of the amended motion

00:45:13.080 --> 00:45:14.563
and support it.

00:45:15.910 --> 00:45:17.100
<v Miss Bahorich>Mr. Allen</v>

00:45:17.100 --> 00:45:19.370
<v Mr. Allen>I wanted to just</v>

00:45:19.370 --> 00:45:22.090
take a look at the amendment in terms of timing,

00:45:22.090 --> 00:45:24.557
because I've not heard as much as I want to hear.

00:45:24.557 --> 00:45:27.070
And I really would like for this information to get out

00:45:27.070 --> 00:45:30.027
amongst the constituents so I can begin to hear.

00:45:30.027 --> 00:45:31.430
And I think I'm moving a little quick.

00:45:31.430 --> 00:45:33.500
Even though I do agree with the amendment,

00:45:33.500 --> 00:45:36.850
everything I saw in the news looks like we were in a success

00:45:36.850 --> 00:45:39.530
and things were moving in the right direction

00:45:39.530 --> 00:45:42.700
with the exception of this name change.

00:45:42.700 --> 00:45:46.000
And I've not yet delved into others who

00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:47.970
would probably want to speak to me

00:45:47.970 --> 00:45:50.110
about this one way or the other.

00:45:50.110 --> 00:45:51.960
And so, I'm really wanting to know

00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.910
if we did not take this vote today,

00:45:54.910 --> 00:45:59.220
would we have an opportunity to view it an another time

00:45:59.220 --> 00:46:01.600
after others have weighed in this situation?

00:46:01.600 --> 00:46:03.830
I don't know if that's possible or not.

00:46:03.830 --> 00:46:05.660
<v Miss Bahorich>Yeah, we certainly would.</v>

00:46:05.660 --> 00:46:08.022
We haven't even gotten the first reading, so.

00:46:08.022 --> 00:46:09.730
<v Mr. Allen>Okay.</v>

00:46:09.730 --> 00:46:13.050
Even though I'm asking for a little time on this decision

00:46:13.050 --> 00:46:15.000
so I can hear from others after

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.113
it really gets out in there in the public.

00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.170
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, Mr. Rowley.</v>

00:46:22.170 --> 00:46:26.570
<v ->I would echo the sentiment of Member Allen in that regard.</v>

00:46:26.570 --> 00:46:27.840
I,

00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:29.380
honestly I don't feel that strongly

00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:30.880
about what we name the course.

00:46:31.750 --> 00:46:34.290
I'm glad we passed

00:46:34.290 --> 00:46:38.490
the motion to initiate the course.

00:46:38.490 --> 00:46:39.680
If we leave it in

00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:42.890
and it is an issue with people,

00:46:42.890 --> 00:46:44.100
I'm sure we'll hear about it

00:46:44.100 --> 00:46:46.060
between now and first reading

00:46:47.545 --> 00:46:48.770
and apparently it was important

00:46:48.770 --> 00:46:50.840
to a number of other members.

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.486
So we had that discussion on Wednesday.

00:46:53.486 --> 00:46:56.730
So I'm just going on record I guess at this point

00:46:56.730 --> 00:46:59.650
that I'm fine with the motion as stated

00:46:59.650 --> 00:47:01.000
without the amendment.

00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:03.170
But that I'm certainly open to input

00:47:03.170 --> 00:47:05.070
from my constituencies

00:47:05.070 --> 00:47:07.420
and others as to whether we should make that change

00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:09.220
by the time we get to first reading.

00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:12.990
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, Miss Beltran.</v>

00:47:12.990 --> 00:47:14.240
<v Miss Beltran>Thank you Madam Chair.</v>

00:47:14.240 --> 00:47:17.640
I just want to speak in support of Mr Cortez's motion.

00:47:17.640 --> 00:47:18.473
I think

00:47:21.504 --> 00:47:23.270
the conversation we've had

00:47:23.270 --> 00:47:24.480
for the past several years

00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:26.240
has been specifically about

00:47:26.240 --> 00:47:28.853
a course entitled Mexican-American Studies.

00:47:30.410 --> 00:47:33.380
I'm surprised at some other commentary

00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:36.731
that was made in the conversations about

00:47:36.731 --> 00:47:37.900
divisiveness.

00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:39.030
I actually,

00:47:39.030 --> 00:47:40.650
I think that what may happen

00:47:40.650 --> 00:47:42.200
if we change,

00:47:42.200 --> 00:47:46.020
if we go with this proposed new title,

00:47:46.020 --> 00:47:47.540
I think actually think that's gonna promote

00:47:47.540 --> 00:47:51.750
more divisiveness than we have had already.

00:47:51.750 --> 00:47:55.050
And in some of the conversations that I've heard

00:47:55.050 --> 00:47:58.435
and had between Wednesday and now,

00:47:58.435 --> 00:48:00.110
that's kind of the sentiment.

00:48:00.110 --> 00:48:02.232
I think there's a real concern

00:48:02.232 --> 00:48:04.590
in shifting away from the original title

00:48:04.590 --> 00:48:06.390
and intent of the course.

00:48:06.390 --> 00:48:09.440
And so I urge us

00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.040
as leaders in this state

00:48:12.040 --> 00:48:13.620
to do the right thing

00:48:13.620 --> 00:48:16.360
and to call it Mexican-American Studies

00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:18.020
and to honor and respect

00:48:18.020 --> 00:48:19.330
the title of the course.

00:48:19.330 --> 00:48:21.920
Because it's not just the title of a course,

00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.690
it's also the title of an identity

00:48:24.690 --> 00:48:27.890
that many individuals in this country have embraced.

00:48:27.890 --> 00:48:30.270
Not because it's at the exclusion

00:48:30.270 --> 00:48:32.490
of wanting to be American

00:48:32.490 --> 00:48:34.300
by any means,

00:48:34.300 --> 00:48:36.210
but because it's different.

00:48:36.210 --> 00:48:37.770
I also think it's important to clarify

00:48:37.770 --> 00:48:39.230
the difference between nationality

00:48:39.230 --> 00:48:40.293
and ethnicity.

00:48:41.370 --> 00:48:43.040
Nationality, like we are

00:48:43.040 --> 00:48:44.750
all Americans.

00:48:44.750 --> 00:48:45.840
Ethnic-wise,

00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:48.780
the United States is comprised of multiple ethnicities

00:48:48.780 --> 00:48:50.060
and that's what makes it amazing

00:48:50.060 --> 00:48:50.893
and beautiful

00:48:50.893 --> 00:48:52.040
and inclusive.

00:48:52.040 --> 00:48:54.730
And I think our responsibility

00:48:54.730 --> 00:48:56.480
as members of this body

00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:59.780
is to acknowledge people's differences

00:48:59.780 --> 00:49:00.630
and honor that

00:49:00.630 --> 00:49:01.840
and respect that.

00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:04.720
And that includes naming

00:49:04.720 --> 00:49:06.600
a course like this

00:49:06.600 --> 00:49:07.620
it's original name,

00:49:07.620 --> 00:49:08.810
Mexican-American Studies.

00:49:08.810 --> 00:49:10.460
So I would urge us to

00:49:10.460 --> 00:49:11.920
take a lead in this conversation

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:13.380
as a state and set a tone

00:49:13.380 --> 00:49:16.323
for inclusiveness and responsibility

00:49:16.323 --> 00:49:19.000
and doing the right thing.

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:19.833
Thank you.

00:49:19.833 --> 00:49:21.670
<v Miss Bahorich>Miss Cargill, then Miss Perez-Diaz.</v>

00:49:21.670 --> 00:49:24.130
<v Miss Cargill>I just wanted to clarify for the record</v>

00:49:24.130 --> 00:49:26.740
that I don't think this course was singled out.

00:49:26.740 --> 00:49:28.300
Other courses don't exist.

00:49:28.300 --> 00:49:30.030
And so that's why we haven't

00:49:30.030 --> 00:49:32.390
had a discussion of titles or names,

00:49:32.390 --> 00:49:33.500
so I wanted to clarify that.

00:49:33.500 --> 00:49:34.660
This was not a singling out.

00:49:34.660 --> 00:49:37.950
This was the only course that does exist for ethnic studies.

00:49:37.950 --> 00:49:40.123
So, just to clarify that.

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:47.290
<v Miss Pere-Diaz>Thank you Madam Chair.</v>

00:49:47.290 --> 00:49:49.450
One of the things that I might suggest is,

00:49:49.450 --> 00:49:51.620
Member Rowley you mentioned that you don't really

00:49:51.620 --> 00:49:53.235
care what we call this course.

00:49:53.235 --> 00:49:56.568
<v Mr. Rowley>No, that's a paraphrase.</v>

00:49:57.940 --> 00:49:58.773
<v ->It doesn't,</v>

00:49:58.773 --> 00:49:59.606
frankly it doesn't really matter

00:49:59.606 --> 00:50:00.970
what we name the course right now.

00:50:00.970 --> 00:50:02.970
As long as we have something in place.

00:50:02.970 --> 00:50:04.450
But what I would say to that is

00:50:04.450 --> 00:50:06.620
if that's the mindset,

00:50:06.620 --> 00:50:09.005
I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge

00:50:09.005 --> 00:50:10.650
that this course is necessary.

00:50:10.650 --> 00:50:12.340
And I think that the board has all decided

00:50:12.340 --> 00:50:14.240
that this is a direction we want to go in.

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:16.520
So what I would suggest is perhaps going in

00:50:16.520 --> 00:50:17.580
to first reading

00:50:17.580 --> 00:50:19.400
with a Mexican-American Studies title

00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.870
and then see what the community says about that.

00:50:21.870 --> 00:50:23.700
Because that was the original intent

00:50:23.700 --> 00:50:26.235
of what we were working toward.

00:50:26.235 --> 00:50:29.440
So, there's still a conversation about title

00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:30.980
moving into first reading

00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:33.250
but why don't we stick to the original name?

00:50:33.250 --> 00:50:34.910
And that way, if it doesn't really matter

00:50:34.910 --> 00:50:36.500
what we name this course

00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:39.590
we start off with the original title of the course

00:50:39.590 --> 00:50:41.490
and then it's open for discussion.

00:50:41.490 --> 00:50:42.870
I think that that's appropriate,

00:50:42.870 --> 00:50:45.830
and I don't see why that would be a point of contention

00:50:45.830 --> 00:50:49.170
if the will of the board is to really support

00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.903
and meet the needs of communities that we serve.

00:50:55.980 --> 00:50:58.133
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, Mr. Rowley.</v>

00:50:59.284 --> 00:51:00.900
<v ->It's always dangerous</v>

00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:03.850
when we attempt to paraphrase what other people are saying.

00:51:06.250 --> 00:51:10.270
At the risk of perhaps being misunderstood,

00:51:10.270 --> 00:51:12.440
let me clarify what I said.

00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:13.930
It apparently was important,

00:51:13.930 --> 00:51:15.790
by a nine to four vote,

00:51:15.790 --> 00:51:16.930
it apparently was important

00:51:16.930 --> 00:51:19.770
to a number of the members of the board

00:51:19.770 --> 00:51:24.040
that the original motion be amended to add that name,

00:51:24.040 --> 00:51:26.070
and so because of that,

00:51:26.070 --> 00:51:29.430
I'm in opposition to Mr. Cortez's amendment today

00:51:29.430 --> 00:51:31.190
because what I would like to do

00:51:31.190 --> 00:51:35.210
is to include it as was passed by the board

00:51:36.260 --> 00:51:39.760
and then see what responses we get in the meantime.

00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:42.460
So to say that it didn't matter to me

00:51:42.460 --> 00:51:43.430
what the name

00:51:44.688 --> 00:51:46.330
of the course is

00:51:46.330 --> 00:51:47.803
is not entirely accurate.

00:51:48.710 --> 00:51:51.470
I was bowing to the,

00:51:51.470 --> 00:51:54.030
or yielding to the will of the majority of board

00:51:54.030 --> 00:51:57.053
and opposing the amendment today.

00:51:58.310 --> 00:52:00.450
Any other comments before we take this vote.

00:52:00.450 --> 00:52:02.260
Yes Mr. Cortez, one more time.

00:52:02.260 --> 00:52:03.166
<v Mr. Cortez>I just have one more,</v>

00:52:03.166 --> 00:52:05.610
and then I would also ask for a record vote.

00:52:05.610 --> 00:52:06.443
But...

00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:14.630
I think the majority of the board

00:52:15.530 --> 00:52:16.740
doesn't want

00:52:18.060 --> 00:52:19.080
another

00:52:20.250 --> 00:52:21.083
meeting

00:52:21.083 --> 00:52:22.570
where we have,

00:52:22.570 --> 00:52:23.490
what's next?

00:52:23.490 --> 00:52:24.323
June.

00:52:24.323 --> 00:52:25.740
Where we have

00:52:25.740 --> 00:52:27.980
another 100 people coming

00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:29.680
and signing up

00:52:29.680 --> 00:52:30.840
for public comment

00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:32.960
just for a name change.

00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:34.160
'Cause that's what's gonna happen.

00:52:34.160 --> 00:52:35.570
It's gonna happen in June.

00:52:35.570 --> 00:52:37.790
It's gonna happen in September.

00:52:37.790 --> 00:52:38.623
I mean,

00:52:40.730 --> 00:52:43.020
there were some people who

00:52:44.720 --> 00:52:46.220
just I've spoken with

00:52:46.220 --> 00:52:50.110
over the last 30 hours or so.

00:52:50.110 --> 00:52:51.740
34, 36 hours.

00:52:51.740 --> 00:52:54.262
However how long it's been since we voted,

00:52:54.262 --> 00:52:59.262
and I'm already hearing these types of conversations.

00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:02.503
We can save ourselves a whole lot of time,

00:53:04.340 --> 00:53:05.420
a whole lot of time

00:53:05.420 --> 00:53:07.970
if you guys just vote for this amendment.

00:53:07.970 --> 00:53:09.660
But it's entirely up to you,

00:53:09.660 --> 00:53:12.653
everybody has the right to their individual vote.

00:53:15.120 --> 00:53:17.370
Don't say I didn't tell you in advance.

00:53:17.370 --> 00:53:18.560
That we could've saved

00:53:18.560 --> 00:53:21.670
a whole lot of time at our June and September meeting.

00:53:21.670 --> 00:53:23.970
But I will ask for a record vote, Madam Chair.

00:53:25.180 --> 00:53:26.310
<v Miss Bahorich>Yeah, all the record,</v>

00:53:26.310 --> 00:53:27.710
all the votes I think we take today

00:53:27.710 --> 00:53:28.543
are record votes

00:53:28.543 --> 00:53:30.960
because we have to approve everything, right?

00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:31.793
And put it on the--

00:53:31.793 --> 00:53:33.380
<v Woman>The record vote will actually have names.</v>

00:53:33.380 --> 00:53:34.900
<v ->Oh, we'll go around names.</v>

00:53:34.900 --> 00:53:35.733
Okay.

00:53:35.733 --> 00:53:36.752
Not just hold our hands up.

00:53:36.752 --> 00:53:37.585
<v Woman>Right.</v>

00:53:37.585 --> 00:53:38.635
<v ->I gotcha. I gotcha.</v>

00:53:40.660 --> 00:53:42.230
Okay.

00:53:42.230 --> 00:53:43.428
Alright,

00:53:43.428 --> 00:53:44.333
any other comments?

00:53:46.496 --> 00:53:50.720
All those in favor of the amendment.

00:53:50.720 --> 00:53:53.007
Or, let me read the motion to you

00:53:53.007 --> 00:53:56.510
as presented at this time.

00:53:56.510 --> 00:53:58.320
To recommend the State Board of Education

00:53:58.320 --> 00:53:59.933
instruct staff to prepare.

00:54:01.110 --> 00:54:02.410
That's what I'm gonna say.

00:54:03.820 --> 00:54:05.630
Yeah, but I'm gonna read the motion.

00:54:05.630 --> 00:54:06.500
<v Woman>Okay.</v>

00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:08.400
<v ->And then read, and then say</v>

00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:09.510
and to strike.

00:54:09.510 --> 00:54:11.110
That's what I was planning on doing.

00:54:11.110 --> 00:54:12.420
So the motion before us

00:54:12.420 --> 00:54:14.020
is to recommend the State Board of Education

00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:15.740
instruct staff to prepare rule text

00:54:15.740 --> 00:54:18.720
based on the currently approved Mexican-American Studies

00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:19.553
innovative course

00:54:19.553 --> 00:54:21.497
submitted by Houston ISD

00:54:21.497 --> 00:54:22.670
and to present the item

00:54:22.670 --> 00:54:24.690
for first reading and filing authorization

00:54:24.690 --> 00:54:27.083
at the June 2018 meeting,

00:54:27.083 --> 00:54:29.040
and then to strike

00:54:29.040 --> 00:54:30.490
"and to name the course

00:54:30.490 --> 00:54:33.823
"Ethnic Studies, an Overview of Americans of Mexican Descent."

00:54:35.196 --> 00:54:37.040
And then we will now take a record vote.

00:54:38.163 --> 00:54:38.996
Monica.

00:54:41.380 --> 00:54:42.892
<v Woman>Mr. Allen.</v>

00:54:42.892 --> 00:54:44.900
<v Mr. Allen>Yes.</v>

00:54:44.900 --> 00:54:46.482
<v Woman>Mrs. Bahorich.</v>

00:54:46.482 --> 00:54:49.049
<v Miss Bahorich>Abstain.</v>

00:54:49.049 --> 00:54:50.390
<v Woman>Miss Beltran</v>

00:54:50.390 --> 00:54:51.440
<v Miss Beltran>Yes.</v>

00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:53.350
<v Woman>Mr. Bradley.</v>

00:54:53.350 --> 00:54:54.880
<v Mr. Bradley>No.</v>

00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:56.066

00:54:56.066 --> 00:54:57.700
<v Miss Cargill>No.</v>

00:54:57.700 --> 00:54:58.763

00:54:58.763 --> 00:55:00.040
<v Mr. Cortez>Yes.</v>

00:55:00.040 --> 00:55:01.144
<v Woman>Dr Ellis.</v>

00:55:01.144 --> 00:55:02.800
<v Dr. Ellis>No.</v>

00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:03.633

<v Woman>Mr. Maynard</v>

<v Mr. Maynard>No.</v>

00:55:07.450 --> 00:55:08.397
<v Woman>Miss Melton-Malone</v>

00:55:08.397 --> 00:55:11.540
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] No.</v>

00:55:11.540 --> 00:55:12.762
<v Woman>Mrs. Miller</v>

00:55:12.762 --> 00:55:14.460
<v Mrs. Miller>No.</v>

00:55:14.460 --> 00:55:15.543
<v Woman>Miss Perez.</v>

00:55:15.543 --> 00:55:17.540
<v Miss Perez>Yes.</v>

00:55:17.540 --> 00:55:18.402
<v Woman>Miss Perez-Diaz</v>

00:55:18.402 --> 00:55:19.470
<v Miss Perez-Diaz>Yes.</v>

00:55:19.470 --> 00:55:20.601
<v Woman>And Mr. Rawley.</v>

00:55:20.601 --> 00:55:23.250
<v Mr. Rowley>No.</v>

00:55:23.250 --> 00:55:24.150
<v Miss Bahorich>The motion is defeated.</v>

00:55:24.150 --> 00:55:26.025
So now we're back to the same.

00:55:26.025 --> 00:55:27.067
What?

00:55:27.067 --> 00:55:27.900
<v Man>Correct.</v>

00:55:27.900 --> 00:55:29.920
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay, now we're back to the same</v>

00:55:30.900 --> 00:55:33.120
motion that's before us in our minutes

00:55:33.120 --> 00:55:34.790
to recommend the State Board of Education

00:55:34.790 --> 00:55:36.233

and to present the item for first reading

All those in favor say aye.

00:55:51.736 --> 00:55:52.569
<v Board>Aye.</v>

00:55:52.569 --> 00:55:54.360

00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:56.023
The motion is adopted.

Go ahead, Mr. Rowley.

00:55:58.283 --> 00:55:59.116
<v ->Okay Madam Chair.</v>

00:55:59.116 --> 00:56:00.180
The committee recommends

00:56:00.180 --> 00:56:02.610
that the State Board of Education instruct staff

00:56:02.610 --> 00:56:04.821
to present ethnic studies courses

00:56:04.821 --> 00:56:06.150
that have been approved

00:56:06.150 --> 00:56:09.070
through the Commissioner's innovative course process

00:56:09.070 --> 00:56:10.810
for discussion and consideration

00:56:10.810 --> 00:56:11.663
for inclusion.

00:56:12.770 --> 00:56:14.190
Staff shall bring forward

00:56:14.190 --> 00:56:16.397
only comprehensive ethnic studies courses

culture and science and technology.

00:56:31.769 --> 00:56:35.060
The Chair of the Committee on Instruction,

00:56:35.060 --> 00:56:36.940
in accordance with the State Board of Education

00:56:36.940 --> 00:56:39.570
operating rule 2.5B,

00:56:39.570 --> 00:56:41.640
shall collaborate with the board Chair

00:56:41.640 --> 00:56:43.840
to place the item on the next available Committee

00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:45.520
on Instruction agenda

00:56:45.520 --> 00:56:46.891
following Commissioner approval

00:56:46.891 --> 00:56:48.333
of the innovative course.

00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:54.500
<v Miss Bahorich>Any discussion on this item?</v>

00:56:54.500 --> 00:56:55.730
All those in favor say aye.

00:56:55.730 --> 00:56:57.170
<v Board>Aye.</v>

00:56:57.170 --> 00:56:58.823
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

00:56:58.823 --> 00:57:00.880
The motion is adopted.

00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:02.480
Members,

00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:03.780
I'm just gonna take a moment.

00:57:03.780 --> 00:57:05.890
A personal privilege at this time.

00:57:05.890 --> 00:57:09.010
I just want to read you something

00:57:09.010 --> 00:57:10.050
I've written out

00:57:10.050 --> 00:57:13.990
and something that I really feel is important to say.

00:57:13.990 --> 00:57:17.110
I want to take a cue from Superintendent Goffney

00:57:17.110 --> 00:57:21.870
and Tara Bordeaux to speak up about things that matter.

00:57:21.870 --> 00:57:23.590
At numerous board meetings today,

00:57:23.590 --> 00:57:25.070
we've heard from testifiers,

00:57:25.070 --> 00:57:27.180
often with great passion

00:57:27.180 --> 00:57:28.720
as we did this week,

00:57:28.720 --> 00:57:30.410
for the need for an elective course

00:57:30.410 --> 00:57:32.030
approved by the State Board of Education

00:57:32.030 --> 00:57:33.200
that dives deeper

00:57:33.200 --> 00:57:36.570
and focuses more on the Mexican-American experience

00:57:36.570 --> 00:57:39.920
within the tapestry that is our American story.

00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:41.330
The Mexican-American experience

00:57:41.330 --> 00:57:42.940
has been one of great struggle

00:57:42.940 --> 00:57:44.530
and great triumphs.

00:57:44.530 --> 00:57:48.480
As clearly set out in the HISD innovative course proposed,

00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:49.710
it's my sincere hope,

00:57:49.710 --> 00:57:52.366
and I believe I'm speaking for the entire board,

00:57:52.366 --> 00:57:54.090
that by encouraging the study

00:57:54.090 --> 00:57:55.862
of this beautiful and strong branch

00:57:55.862 --> 00:57:57.960
of our American family

00:57:57.960 --> 00:57:59.330
in a deeper way,

00:57:59.330 --> 00:58:00.889
we'll engage and connect more

00:58:00.889 --> 00:58:02.959
of our Mexican-American students

00:58:02.959 --> 00:58:06.187
in a way that's important for the future of the country.

00:58:06.187 --> 00:58:08.427
America is and always has been

00:58:08.427 --> 00:58:10.830
a land of dreams and hopes

00:58:10.830 --> 00:58:13.530
where everyone has a vital part to play.

00:58:13.530 --> 00:58:15.783
Where we can be both proud of our own story,

00:58:15.783 --> 00:58:17.740
culture and heritage,

00:58:17.740 --> 00:58:19.660
and yet, hold close to our hearts

00:58:19.660 --> 00:58:22.930
what it means to be deeply proud Americans.

00:58:22.930 --> 00:58:24.550
Because the struggle is real,

00:58:24.550 --> 00:58:27.107
with achieving the high ideals we want to live

00:58:27.107 --> 00:58:28.760
as individuals

00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:31.140
and even more so as a country,

00:58:31.140 --> 00:58:34.113
does not make these ideals less valuable,

00:58:34.113 --> 00:58:36.400
but instead, should make our efforts

00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.650
toward achieving those ideals more intentional

00:58:39.650 --> 00:58:41.730
and more vigorous.

00:58:41.730 --> 00:58:42.776
E Pluribus Unum.

00:58:42.776 --> 00:58:44.600
Out of many, one.

00:58:44.600 --> 00:58:46.830
The E Pluribus part

00:58:46.830 --> 00:58:47.990
and the Unum part

00:58:47.990 --> 00:58:48.823
both matter.

00:58:50.025 --> 00:58:52.200
Out of many, one.

00:58:52.200 --> 00:58:54.620
This is always a delicate balance

00:58:54.620 --> 00:58:56.910
but what a rare and precious gift

00:58:56.910 --> 00:58:58.093
to us all.

00:58:58.970 --> 00:59:00.662
The board is always seeking for ways

00:59:00.662 --> 00:59:03.320
to better support our students.

00:59:03.320 --> 00:59:05.360
We want to send out love

00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:07.860
to all our students today.

00:59:07.860 --> 00:59:09.870
But particularly in this moment

00:59:09.870 --> 00:59:11.500
to our American students.

00:59:11.500 --> 00:59:12.423
Thank you so much.

00:59:13.290 --> 00:59:14.840
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, I'm sorry.</v>

00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:16.530
Yes, go ahead, Miss Perez-Diaz.

00:59:19.620 --> 00:59:20.453
<v Miss Perez-Diaz>I'm really trying</v>

00:59:20.453 --> 00:59:21.460
my best to keep it together

00:59:21.460 --> 00:59:23.410
but I really need to say this out loud.

00:59:26.060 --> 00:59:27.470
I'm gonna share a Mexican proverb

00:59:27.470 --> 00:59:28.970
because it's really important.

00:59:31.188 --> 00:59:34.855
(speaking Spanish)

00:59:40.230 --> 00:59:41.470
"We're all made of the same clay

00:59:41.470 --> 00:59:43.093
"but not the same mold."

00:59:44.830 --> 00:59:46.370
I appreciate your words

00:59:47.340 --> 00:59:51.830
but our actions today didn't ring true that

00:59:51.830 --> 00:59:53.520
because today what happened

00:59:54.410 --> 00:59:58.410
was my colleagues around this board room

00:59:58.410 --> 01:00:00.133
identified me.

01:00:01.610 --> 01:00:03.200
My identity is my own

01:00:03.200 --> 01:00:06.420
and I am to identify myself.

01:00:06.420 --> 01:00:08.453
That did not happen today.

01:00:09.390 --> 01:00:12.370
We identified thousands of children

01:00:12.370 --> 01:00:14.310
across Texas today

01:00:14.310 --> 01:00:16.883
and took that power from them.

01:00:19.060 --> 01:00:21.160
If we're going to be a representative body

01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.250
we need to acknowledge that and be honest with ourselves.

01:00:26.870 --> 01:00:29.910
I hope that you listen to me.

01:00:29.910 --> 01:00:33.450
I hope that these tears aren't seen as tears of weakness.

01:00:33.450 --> 01:00:35.570
They're tears of anger and of hurt

01:00:36.450 --> 01:00:39.453
by people I consider colleagues.

01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:43.393
And I see rolling eyes across the table.

01:00:44.670 --> 01:00:47.223
And it's telling.

01:00:49.160 --> 01:00:50.760
I just had to say that out loud.

01:00:53.210 --> 01:00:54.723
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay, members.</v>

01:00:55.770 --> 01:00:56.720
Let's move on.

01:00:56.720 --> 01:00:58.293
<v Mr. Rowley>Next agenda item.</v>

01:00:59.500 --> 01:01:03.740
It's Board Agenda item number three.

01:01:03.740 --> 01:01:06.313
On page I-5.

01:01:08.850 --> 01:01:10.970
It's recommended that the State Board of Education

01:01:10.970 --> 01:01:12.140
approve for second reading

01:01:12.140 --> 01:01:14.090
and final adoption proposed amendments

01:01:14.090 --> 01:01:17.940
to 19 TAC Chapter 74, Curriculum Requirements,

01:01:17.940 --> 01:01:20.660
Subchapter B, Graduation Requirements,

01:01:20.660 --> 01:01:23.352
with an effective date of August 27, 2018

01:01:23.352 --> 01:01:26.043
as amended by the Committee of the Full Board.

01:01:28.530 --> 01:01:29.610
<v Woman>Madam Chair.</v>

01:01:29.610 --> 01:01:30.443
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes.</v>

01:01:30.443 --> 01:01:31.276
<v Woman>Over here.</v>

01:01:31.276 --> 01:01:32.523
<v Miss Bahorich>Oh sorry.</v>

01:01:34.278 --> 01:01:37.463
<v Woman>During the Wednesday...</v>

01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:41.270
I take it back.

01:01:41.270 --> 01:01:43.383
I'm on the wrong Chapter 74 item.

01:01:46.027 --> 01:01:47.130
Just to avoid confusion,

01:01:47.130 --> 01:01:48.500
we did need to make an amendment

01:01:48.500 --> 01:01:50.050
for the other Chapter 74 item.

01:01:50.050 --> 01:01:52.390
That's what's being distributed now.

01:01:52.390 --> 01:01:53.840
But I do think that there is

01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:56.683
an amendment related to this particular item.

01:01:59.175 --> 01:02:00.590
<v Man>It's Lawrence's.</v>

01:02:00.590 --> 01:02:02.200
<v ->So the one with the highlight</v>

01:02:02.200 --> 01:02:04.683
is for the next Chapter 74 item.

01:02:06.710 --> 01:02:07.543
<v Miss Bahorich>So I should go ahead</v>

01:02:07.543 --> 01:02:08.970
and read this amendment,

01:02:08.970 --> 01:02:11.720
or have Mr. Allen read it.

01:02:11.720 --> 01:02:13.530
I always want to call you Dr. Allen

01:02:13.530 --> 01:02:14.590
because of your...

01:02:15.554 --> 01:02:16.992
(laugher)

01:02:16.992 --> 01:02:18.090
<v Miss Bahorich>Are you close?</v>

01:02:18.090 --> 01:02:18.923
I didn't realize that.

01:02:18.923 --> 01:02:20.620
That's awesome.

01:02:20.620 --> 01:02:21.685
Congratulations on that.

01:02:21.685 --> 01:02:22.518
Okay.

01:02:27.113 --> 01:02:29.163
<v Mr. Allen>Amendment, very simple one.</v>

01:02:30.260 --> 01:02:33.350
I'm amending the recommended prerequisites

01:02:33.350 --> 01:02:37.587
and by moving to strike Computer Science 1

01:02:37.587 --> 01:02:39.740
and Algebra 2.

01:02:39.740 --> 01:02:40.680
<v Woman>Madam Chair.</v>

01:02:40.680 --> 01:02:42.380
I apologize.

01:02:42.380 --> 01:02:43.930
We've really confused things.

01:02:43.930 --> 01:02:46.110
This is actually not the right item either.

01:02:46.110 --> 01:02:48.503
So these are your graduation requirements.

01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:51.170
The amendment needs to be made

01:02:51.170 --> 01:02:53.860
to the Chapter 112 item.

01:02:53.860 --> 01:02:54.730
<v Mr. Allen>Very good.</v>

01:02:54.730 --> 01:02:56.084
<v ->My apologies.</v>

01:02:56.084 --> 01:02:58.334
(laughter)

01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:03.330
I think this item is actually--

01:03:03.330 --> 01:03:04.163
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:03:04.163 --> 01:03:05.260
<v ->Where it needs to be now.</v>

01:03:07.330 --> 01:03:08.830
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay, alright members.</v>

01:03:08.830 --> 01:03:11.170
We're to the main motion here

01:03:12.040 --> 01:03:13.490
that we're considering

01:03:13.490 --> 01:03:14.900
to approve for second reading

01:03:14.900 --> 01:03:16.760
and final adoption proposed amendments

01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:20.110

of August 27, 2018

01:03:26.070 --> 01:03:28.740
as amended by the Committee of the Full Board.

01:03:28.740 --> 01:03:30.734
All those in favor say aye.

01:03:30.734 --> 01:03:31.567
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:03:31.567 --> 01:03:33.100
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:03:33.100 --> 01:03:34.470
Motion is adopted.

01:03:35.430 --> 01:03:36.600
<v Mr. Rowley>Okay now,</v>

01:03:36.600 --> 01:03:38.570
I believe we are on

01:03:38.570 --> 01:03:41.220
Committee Agenda item number four

01:03:41.220 --> 01:03:44.750

with an effective date of August 27th, 2018.

01:04:20.680 --> 01:04:22.640
<v Miss Bahorich>Is this, are we okay here?</v>

01:04:22.640 --> 01:04:24.160
Okay.

01:04:24.160 --> 01:04:25.670
So all those in favor, say aye.

01:04:25.670 --> 01:04:26.850
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:04:26.850 --> 01:04:28.410
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:04:28.410 --> 01:04:29.513
Motion is adopted.

01:04:34.810 --> 01:04:35.643
<v ->Okay.</v>

01:04:35.643 --> 01:04:36.476
Now, we are on

01:04:37.330 --> 01:04:39.650
Committee Agenda item number five,

01:04:39.650 --> 01:04:42.250
page I-45

01:04:42.250 --> 01:04:43.433
of your board book.

01:04:44.770 --> 01:04:47.170
It's recommended that the State Board of Education

01:04:47.170 --> 01:04:49.230

01:05:04.110 --> 01:05:06.030
Other Social Studies Courses;

01:05:06.030 --> 01:05:07.216
Chapter 118,

01:05:07.216 --> 01:05:10.170
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Economics,

01:05:10.170 --> 01:05:12.260
with emphasis on the free enterprise system

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:13.500
and it's benefits,

01:05:13.500 --> 01:05:14.970
Subchapter B,

01:05:14.970 --> 01:05:16.720
Other Economics Courses;

01:05:16.720 --> 01:05:18.320
and Chapter 126,

01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:20.210
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills

01:05:20.210 --> 01:05:21.880
for Technology Application,

01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:23.270
Subchapter D,

01:05:23.270 --> 01:05:25.803
Other Technology Applications Courses,

01:05:26.940 --> 01:05:29.773
with an effective date of August 27th, 2018.

01:05:33.347 --> 01:05:36.000
<v Miss Bahorich>Is this one, keep going?</v>

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:37.930
<v Woman>This is where Mr. Allen has--</v>

01:05:37.930 --> 01:05:38.763
<v Miss Bahorich>Oh, okay.</v>

01:05:38.763 --> 01:05:40.338
<v M>This is where you come in.</v>

01:05:40.338 --> 01:05:42.100
<v Mr. Allen>This is where Mr. Allen is offering amendment</v>

01:05:42.100 --> 01:05:42.933
for the--

01:05:42.933 --> 01:05:43.873
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:05:43.873 --> 01:05:45.130
<v Mr. Allen>Applications course 126</v>

01:05:45.130 --> 01:05:45.963
while we move to strike--

01:05:45.963 --> 01:05:46.810
<v Miss Bahorich>Is your microphone on?</v>

01:05:46.810 --> 01:05:48.700
<v Mr. Allen>Yes ma'am, it's on.</v>

01:05:48.700 --> 01:05:51.670
While we're moving to strike Computer Science 1

01:05:51.670 --> 01:05:55.253
and Algebra 2 as prerequisites for the course.

01:05:59.902 --> 01:06:01.763
I think it's on I-59, isn't it?

01:06:01.763 --> 01:06:03.223
Help me with that, Monica.

01:06:14.130 --> 01:06:16.173
<v Woman>I believe it's on roman numeral 1-57.</v>

01:06:17.286 --> 01:06:18.703
<v Mr. Allen>57?</v>

01:06:27.620 --> 01:06:29.249
When we get there, if you want me.

01:06:29.249 --> 01:06:31.500
The reason why if you're asking me to is

01:06:32.555 --> 01:06:35.250
to create a situation where everything is aligned,

01:06:35.250 --> 01:06:37.500
especially with this course with the College Board,

01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:39.483
so that we don't get any confusion.

01:06:40.420 --> 01:06:42.820
Often parents are looking through these courses

01:06:42.820 --> 01:06:43.710
through the College Board,

01:06:43.710 --> 01:06:45.370
and sometimes when it's different,

01:06:45.370 --> 01:06:47.211
we make mistakes in the school system

01:06:47.211 --> 01:06:48.520
when we select courses.

01:06:48.520 --> 01:06:50.430
So we just want to make it aligned

01:06:50.430 --> 01:06:53.310
with the prerequisite as through the College Board.

01:06:53.310 --> 01:06:54.920
<v Woman>Madam Chair.</v>

01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:56.680
Just as additional clarification,

01:06:56.680 --> 01:06:59.720
this was something that Shelly did point out to you,

01:06:59.720 --> 01:07:03.090
during discussion Wednesday, that

01:07:03.090 --> 01:07:04.865
the College Board had indicated

01:07:04.865 --> 01:07:06.570
that there was a difference

01:07:06.570 --> 01:07:08.570
in the prerequisites.

01:07:08.570 --> 01:07:09.980
At that time there wasn't

01:07:10.830 --> 01:07:13.500
a motion to make the amendment,

01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:14.333
and so

01:07:15.427 --> 01:07:19.040
we weren't clear on intent,

01:07:19.040 --> 01:07:21.450
but this was part of the discussion on Wednesday.

01:07:21.450 --> 01:07:22.393
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:26.610
Ah yes, second.

01:07:26.610 --> 01:07:27.980
Okay.

01:07:27.980 --> 01:07:30.100
Okay, members.

01:07:30.100 --> 01:07:31.280
This is,

01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:34.060
instead of Chapter 74 at the top there,

01:07:34.060 --> 01:07:36.430
it should say 112, is that correct?

01:07:36.430 --> 01:07:38.930
At the top of that sheet that we're looking at?

01:07:38.930 --> 01:07:39.853
Is that correct.

01:07:41.300 --> 01:07:42.307
<v Woman>It's actually Chapter 126.</v>

01:07:42.307 --> 01:07:43.700
<v ->Oh, sorry.</v>

01:07:43.700 --> 01:07:45.060
I put down the wrong one.

01:07:45.060 --> 01:07:46.423
Okay, Chapter 126.

01:07:48.200 --> 01:07:49.033
Okay.

01:07:49.033 --> 01:07:50.157
Oh, I see.

01:07:50.157 --> 01:07:50.990
'Cause it says that below.

01:07:50.990 --> 01:07:52.050
Alright.

01:07:52.050 --> 01:07:55.270
Okay, so the amendment before us is to,

01:07:55.270 --> 01:07:57.980
before we get to the main motion,

01:07:57.980 --> 01:07:59.060
is to amend the list

01:07:59.060 --> 01:08:01.790
of recommended prerequisites to 19 TAC

01:08:01.790 --> 01:08:03.470
Chapter 126,

01:08:03.470 --> 01:08:05.700
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills

01:08:05.700 --> 01:08:07.280
for Technology Application,

01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:08.240
Subchapter D,

01:08:08.240 --> 01:08:10.527
Other Technology Applications Courses,

01:08:10.527 --> 01:08:12.460
126.62,

01:08:12.460 --> 01:08:13.880
Advance Placement,

01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:17.650
Computer Science A,

01:08:17.650 --> 01:08:18.483
little A,

01:08:18.483 --> 01:08:19.360
General Requirements.

01:08:19.360 --> 01:08:21.780
Students shall be rewarded two credits

01:08:21.780 --> 01:08:26.220
for successful completion of this course.

01:08:26.220 --> 01:08:29.220
Recommended prerequisites Algebra 1,

01:08:29.220 --> 01:08:31.863
or strike, Computer Science 1.

01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:35.890
Okay, should I say the strikes?

01:08:35.890 --> 01:08:38.213
Or should I just read it without the strikes?

01:08:41.670 --> 01:08:42.560
<v Woman>We've got it, so--</v>

01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:43.970
<v ->Okay, I just want to make sure.</v>

01:08:43.970 --> 01:08:45.820
Okay, I'm gonna read it without the strikes

01:08:45.820 --> 01:08:47.110
if that's alright with everybody.

01:08:47.110 --> 01:08:48.860
Recommended prerequisites,

01:08:48.860 --> 01:08:50.080
Algebra 1,

01:08:50.080 --> 01:08:53.200
or students should be comfortable with functions

01:08:53.200 --> 01:08:55.100
and the concepts found

01:08:55.100 --> 01:08:56.507
in the uses of functional notation

01:08:56.507 --> 01:08:59.953
such as that formula right there.

01:09:03.310 --> 01:09:04.320
Okay.

01:09:04.320 --> 01:09:05.980
All those in favor say aye.

01:09:05.980 --> 01:09:07.160
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:09:07.160 --> 01:09:09.040
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:09:09.040 --> 01:09:09.910
Motion is adopted.

01:09:09.910 --> 01:09:11.920
Now we're back to the main motion.

01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:12.753
Correct?

01:09:12.753 --> 01:09:14.400
That's all that we had for that.

01:09:14.400 --> 01:09:15.233
Is that correct?

01:09:16.130 --> 01:09:16.963
Are we...

01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:20.070
<v Woman>We're just trying to double check some language</v>

01:09:20.070 --> 01:09:21.820
if you could give us just a moment.

01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:34.030
<v ->Madam Chair, I apologize.</v>

01:09:35.980 --> 01:09:37.860
If the intent is,

01:09:37.860 --> 01:09:40.830
we think the intent may be to replace Algebra 2

01:09:40.830 --> 01:09:42.610
with Algebra 1.

01:09:42.610 --> 01:09:44.810
Algebra 1 is not currently listed

01:09:44.810 --> 01:09:46.963
in the rule text as a prerequisite.

01:09:50.920 --> 01:09:53.388
If the intent is that Algebra 1 be included--

01:09:53.388 --> 01:09:54.221
<v Miss Bahorich>Be added?</v>

01:09:54.221 --> 01:09:55.600
<v ->It would need to be added.</v>

01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:56.433
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:09:56.433 --> 01:09:58.060
So does everybody understand?

01:09:58.060 --> 01:09:59.594
Is there any objection to correcting that.

01:09:59.594 --> 01:10:01.520
That Algebra 1 that I read out to you

01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.770
would be an add to the current.

01:10:03.770 --> 01:10:04.920
Yes, Miss Beltran.

01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:06.096
<v Miss Beltran>I just have a question.</v>

01:10:06.096 --> 01:10:08.164
I don't see the additional text.

01:10:08.164 --> 01:10:10.100
This would be an addition as well?

01:10:10.100 --> 01:10:11.708
The actual equation.

01:10:11.708 --> 01:10:12.775
Is that correct?

01:10:12.775 --> 01:10:13.608
Or is that in the original--

01:10:13.608 --> 01:10:15.300
<v Woman>The equation is in there.</v>

01:10:15.300 --> 01:10:17.830
So I believe what would happen,

01:10:19.190 --> 01:10:20.840
on I-57,

01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:22.180
is that

01:10:23.070 --> 01:10:25.690
you would strike Computer Science 1

01:10:25.690 --> 01:10:27.430
and strike Algebra 2

01:10:27.430 --> 01:10:29.343
and add Algebra 1.

01:10:30.580 --> 01:10:32.403
And the rest would remain the same.

01:10:34.552 --> 01:10:37.717
<v Man>That's on 126.6, 2A.</v>

01:10:37.717 --> 01:10:39.220
<v Woman>126.6, 2A,</v>

01:10:39.220 --> 01:10:40.053
Yes, sir.

01:10:40.053 --> 01:10:43.270
<v Miss Bahorich>So this is written exactly correct.</v>

01:10:43.270 --> 01:10:44.430
Nothing needs to be done here.

01:10:44.430 --> 01:10:45.640
It's just that we have to add that.

01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:47.554
<v Woman>I don't have that right in front of me</v>

01:10:47.554 --> 01:10:50.310
so I can't answer that question.

01:10:50.310 --> 01:10:51.143
<v Miss Bahorich>I just want to make sure</v>

01:10:51.143 --> 01:10:51.976
that what's in front of us

01:10:51.976 --> 01:10:55.690
is clear and everybody knows what we're voting on.

01:10:55.690 --> 01:10:57.643
If it's all correct, we're good.

01:10:59.470 --> 01:11:00.303
<v Woman>Yes.</v>

01:11:00.303 --> 01:11:01.860
<v ->Okay.</v>

01:11:01.860 --> 01:11:02.693
Okay members.

01:11:02.693 --> 01:11:05.096
<v Man>The Algebra 1 should be on</v>

01:11:05.096 --> 01:11:06.070
'cause it's new.

01:11:06.070 --> 01:11:06.903
<v ->Okay.</v>

01:11:06.903 --> 01:11:07.736
So, yes.

01:11:07.736 --> 01:11:09.620
What was left off is the Algebra 1 there

01:11:09.620 --> 01:11:10.580
ought to have had

01:11:10.580 --> 01:11:11.890
an underline under it

01:11:11.890 --> 01:11:13.840
so that you would know that it would be added.

01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:15.459
So if you just wanted to do that on your,

01:11:15.459 --> 01:11:17.413
if you keep copies of these things.

01:11:18.720 --> 01:11:20.260
Okay.

01:11:20.260 --> 01:11:21.826
So I think, I hope everybody is clear

01:11:21.826 --> 01:11:23.290
on what we're voting on.

01:11:23.290 --> 01:11:24.954
All those in favor, say aye.

01:11:24.954 --> 01:11:25.787
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:11:25.787 --> 01:11:27.913
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:11:27.913 --> 01:11:29.361
Alright, now we're back.

01:11:29.361 --> 01:11:31.780
And that's all for this Chapter, right?

01:11:31.780 --> 01:11:32.613
Miss Martinez?

01:11:32.613 --> 01:11:33.446
Okay.

01:11:33.446 --> 01:11:35.630
So now we're back to the main motion

01:11:35.630 --> 01:11:37.060
as amended

01:11:37.060 --> 01:11:40.390
with an effective date of August 29th, 2018.

01:11:40.390 --> 01:11:41.853
27th, sorry.

01:11:43.690 --> 01:11:44.523
So now,

01:11:44.523 --> 01:11:45.356
if you want

01:11:45.356 --> 01:11:46.850
you read that one more time, Mr. Rowley

01:11:46.850 --> 01:11:48.270
just because, yeah.

01:11:48.270 --> 01:11:50.250
It's recommended that the State Board of Education

01:11:50.250 --> 01:11:52.120
approve for second reading and final adoption

01:11:52.120 --> 01:11:54.620
propose revisions to 19 TAC

01:11:54.620 --> 01:11:55.640

for Economics,

01:12:10.920 --> 01:12:12.463
with emphasis on the free enterprise system

01:12:12.463 --> 01:12:13.836

as amended.

01:12:30.630 --> 01:12:32.418
All those in favor say aye.

01:12:32.418 --> 01:12:33.251
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:12:33.251 --> 01:12:34.780
All those opposed say no.

01:12:34.780 --> 01:12:36.460

01:12:36.460 --> 01:12:37.293
<v Mr. Rowley>Okay.</v>

01:12:37.293 --> 01:12:38.126
So the next item

01:12:38.126 --> 01:12:40.610
is Committee Agenda item number six.

01:12:40.610 --> 01:12:43.883
It's on Board Agenda page I-59.

01:12:47.400 --> 01:12:48.350
And it's recommended

01:12:48.350 --> 01:12:49.850
that the State Board of Education

01:12:49.850 --> 01:12:51.842
approve for first reading and filing authorization,

01:12:51.842 --> 01:12:55.924
propose new 19 TAC Chapter 74

01:12:55.924 --> 01:12:57.460
Curriculum Requirements,

01:12:57.460 --> 01:12:58.560

01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.030
Other Provisions,

01:13:00.030 --> 01:13:03.229
Section 74.39, Requirements for Instruction

01:13:03.229 --> 01:13:05.993
on Proper Interaction with Peace Officers.

01:13:08.420 --> 01:13:09.377
<v Miss Bahorich>Nothing here, right?</v>

01:13:09.377 --> 01:13:10.210
<v Woman>No; yes.</v>

01:13:10.210 --> 01:13:12.340
This is where we've got the amendment.

01:13:12.340 --> 01:13:13.537
<v Miss Bahorich>Oh, we do have amendment.</v>

01:13:13.537 --> 01:13:14.800
<v ->So, there was a question</v>

01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:17.180
about whether this instruction

01:13:17.180 --> 01:13:21.480
has to occur in a high school course.

01:13:21.480 --> 01:13:24.694
And when we had that discussion,

01:13:24.694 --> 01:13:27.850
we did determine that it was most appropriate

01:13:27.850 --> 01:13:29.370
to add some language.

01:13:29.370 --> 01:13:30.970
We didn't have the language at the time

01:13:30.970 --> 01:13:33.530
but that's what was distributed to you that says

01:13:33.530 --> 01:13:36.900
Chapter 74, Subchapter C at the top.

01:13:36.900 --> 01:13:39.650
74.39, the highlighted language

01:13:39.650 --> 01:13:42.640
is what we would recommend that you add

01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:44.450
to clarify that requirement.

01:13:44.450 --> 01:13:45.610
<v Mr. Maynard>Madam Chair.</v>

01:13:45.610 --> 01:13:46.878
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, Mr. Maynard.</v>

01:13:46.878 --> 01:13:49.019
<v Mr. Maynard>I believe we</v>

01:13:49.019 --> 01:13:49.852
amend the motion

01:13:49.852 --> 01:13:51.713
by adding the recommended language.

01:13:54.020 --> 01:13:56.130
<v Miss Bahorich>Any other discussion on that?</v>

01:13:56.130 --> 01:13:57.230
All those in favor

01:13:57.230 --> 01:13:59.250
of amending with this additional language

01:13:59.250 --> 01:14:00.250

01:14:00.250 --> 01:14:02.850

01:19:47.160 --> 01:19:49.240
for a period of five years,

01:19:49.240 --> 01:19:51.543
and the course is Innovative Thinking.

01:19:53.300 --> 01:19:55.100
<v Miss Bahorich>Any discussion?</v>

01:19:55.100 --> 01:19:56.470
All those in favor say aye.

01:19:56.470 --> 01:19:57.560
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:19:57.560 --> 01:19:59.380
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:19:59.380 --> 01:20:01.080
Motion is adopted.

01:20:01.080 --> 01:20:01.913
Is that it?

01:20:01.913 --> 01:20:02.746
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] I have one more.</v>

01:20:02.746 --> 01:20:04.258
<v ->One more.</v>

01:20:04.258 --> 01:20:05.670
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] Number five.</v>

01:20:05.670 --> 01:20:07.230
It is in your Board Agenda book

01:20:07.230 --> 01:20:08.743
on roman numeral 2-25.

01:20:10.510 --> 01:20:12.480
On behalf of the Committee on Instruction,

01:20:12.480 --> 01:20:13.313
I recommend--

01:20:13.313 --> 01:20:14.770
<v Woman>Madam Chair.</v>

01:20:14.770 --> 01:20:15.603
Apologies.

01:20:15.603 --> 01:20:16.470
That was on the consent.

01:20:16.470 --> 01:20:17.303
<v ->Oh, I'm sorry.</v>

01:20:17.303 --> 01:20:18.260
It was, wasn't it?

01:20:18.260 --> 01:20:20.160
<v Miss Bahorich>Thank you.</v>

01:20:20.160 --> 01:20:21.599
Oh, I'm missing something.

01:20:21.599 --> 01:20:22.540
Okay.

01:20:22.540 --> 01:20:23.617
That was moved to this consent.

01:20:23.617 --> 01:20:24.953
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] Yes.</v>

01:20:24.953 --> 01:20:25.786
<v ->Okay, great.</v>

01:20:25.786 --> 01:20:26.900
<v ->[Miss Melton-Malone] That concludes our report.</v>

01:20:26.900 --> 01:20:27.733
<v ->Okay.</v>

01:20:27.733 --> 01:20:29.630
Thank you very much Miss Melton Malone.

01:20:29.630 --> 01:20:31.130
Now Committee on School Finance

01:20:31.130 --> 01:20:32.140
and Permanent School Fund.

01:20:32.140 --> 01:20:32.973
Mr. Bradley.

01:20:37.340 --> 01:20:40.250
<v ->We had no school finance agenda items</v>

01:20:40.250 --> 01:20:41.860
for discussion or action.

01:20:41.860 --> 01:20:43.510
These are all Permanent School Fund.

01:20:43.510 --> 01:20:45.210
I have two items.

01:20:45.210 --> 01:20:46.620
One is proposed amendment

01:20:46.620 --> 01:20:48.720
to 19 TAC Chapter 33,

01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:50.280
Statement of Investment Objectives,

01:20:50.280 --> 01:20:51.410

State Board of Education Rules, 33.5, Code of Ethics.

01:20:57.880 --> 01:20:59.807
And we recommend that the State Board of Education

01:20:59.807 --> 01:21:02.550
approve for second reading and final adoption

01:21:02.550 --> 01:21:05.620
the proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 33,

01:21:05.620 --> 01:21:08.080
Statement of Investment Objectives, Policies, Guidelines of

01:21:08.080 --> 01:21:09.450

01:21:13.570 --> 01:21:16.940
and adoption with an effective date of 20 days

01:21:16.940 --> 01:21:20.270
after filing as adopted with the Texas register.

01:21:20.270 --> 01:21:21.103
Madam Chair

01:21:21.103 --> 01:21:22.370
we need a two-thirds vote

01:21:22.370 --> 01:21:24.370
for the soon as possible effective date.

01:21:26.500 --> 01:21:28.333
<v ->Any discussion on this item?</v>

01:21:29.250 --> 01:21:32.293
All those in favor, please raise your hands.

01:21:41.610 --> 01:21:42.730
Okay, terrific.

01:21:42.730 --> 01:21:44.530
All those opposed, raise your hands.

01:21:45.586 --> 01:21:46.419
The motion is adopted

01:21:46.419 --> 01:21:48.500
and did receive the two-thirds vote.

01:21:49.348 --> 01:21:50.260
<v Mr. Bradley>Alright.</v>

01:21:50.260 --> 01:21:51.410
Next agenda item

01:21:51.410 --> 01:21:54.960
was with for 19 TAC Chapter 33 also.

01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:56.790
I'll read the motion.

01:21:56.790 --> 01:21:58.780
We recommend that the State Board of Education

01:21:58.780 --> 01:22:00.537
approve for second reading and final adoption

01:22:00.537 --> 01:22:02.840
the proposed amendments to 19 TAC

01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:04.936
Chapter 33, Statement of Investment Objectives,

01:22:04.936 --> 01:22:07.310
Policies and Guidelines

01:22:07.310 --> 01:22:08.720
of the Texas Permanent School Fund,

01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:09.630
Subchapter A,

01:22:09.630 --> 01:22:13.790
State Board of Education Rules, 33.15, Objectives,

01:22:13.790 --> 01:22:17.950
and 33.20, Responsible Parties and Their Duties,

01:22:17.950 --> 01:22:21.660
with an effective date of September 1st, 2018.

01:22:21.660 --> 01:22:23.940
Madam Chair, the committee requests

01:22:23.940 --> 01:22:25.320
a two-third

01:22:25.320 --> 01:22:26.283
show of hands.

01:22:27.670 --> 01:22:30.380
<v ->Again, they're wanting that early adoption, right?</v>

01:22:30.380 --> 01:22:32.120
<v Mr. Bradley>Yes ma'am.</v>

01:22:32.120 --> 01:22:33.670
Any discussion?

01:22:33.670 --> 01:22:36.083
All those in favor please raise your hands.

01:22:39.050 --> 01:22:41.140
All those opposed please raise your hand.

01:22:41.140 --> 01:22:42.588
Did you get?

01:22:42.588 --> 01:22:43.421
You got...

01:22:43.421 --> 01:22:45.370
All those opposed please raise your hands.

01:22:45.370 --> 01:22:46.440
Motion is adopted

01:22:46.440 --> 01:22:48.190
and did receive the two-thirds vote.

01:22:48.190 --> 01:22:50.220
<v Mr. Bradley>Madam Chair, that concludes my report,</v>

01:22:50.220 --> 01:22:51.580
but I would like to

01:22:52.730 --> 01:22:55.610
extend an offer to our Vice Chair

01:22:55.610 --> 01:22:57.370
for a report.

01:22:57.370 --> 01:22:59.743
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes. Mr. Maynard.</v>

01:22:59.743 --> 01:23:01.590
<v Mr. Maynard>Thank you Mr. Chair.</v>

01:23:01.590 --> 01:23:02.423
Madam Chair.

01:23:03.540 --> 01:23:05.840
Staff, did you already pass out that,

01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:07.220
Debbie, did you already pass that out?

01:23:07.220 --> 01:23:09.270
Okay, we're gonna do that.

01:23:09.270 --> 01:23:13.123
You should be getting a front and back document.

01:23:14.530 --> 01:23:16.870
So, the discussion within the committee

01:23:16.870 --> 01:23:17.970
has to do with

01:23:18.903 --> 01:23:20.040
really,

01:23:20.040 --> 01:23:21.603
it's a branding discussion.

01:23:22.663 --> 01:23:23.790
And I think that,

01:23:24.780 --> 01:23:25.880
at least anecdotally,

01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:26.940
we can establish

01:23:26.940 --> 01:23:28.440
that the Permanent School Fund,

01:23:29.380 --> 01:23:31.280
when you think about

01:23:31.280 --> 01:23:32.937
the impact that it has on education

01:23:32.937 --> 01:23:34.451
and the billions of dollars

01:23:34.451 --> 01:23:38.657
that is contributed to schools

01:23:38.657 --> 01:23:39.945
and the billions of dollars

01:23:39.945 --> 01:23:41.940
that have been contributed to

01:23:43.336 --> 01:23:45.210
Texas students over the course

01:23:45.210 --> 01:23:46.570
of the life of the fund.

01:23:46.570 --> 01:23:48.510
If you take it back to 1854

01:23:48.510 --> 01:23:52.243
and then, the next iteration of that, in 1875,

01:23:53.840 --> 01:23:55.600
and what it does in terms

01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:57.268
of facilitating the construction

01:23:57.268 --> 01:24:02.268
of new facilities through our bond guarantee program,

01:24:02.690 --> 01:24:05.850
in terms of what it contributes to the available school fund

01:24:05.850 --> 01:24:08.310
but I will tell you that people don't really

01:24:08.310 --> 01:24:11.190
have a great awareness of the fund.

01:24:11.190 --> 01:24:13.360
The fund doesn't really have a strong identity

01:24:13.360 --> 01:24:15.300
and most people look at you

01:24:15.300 --> 01:24:16.540
like you got a horn growing out

01:24:16.540 --> 01:24:17.390
the middle of your forehead

01:24:17.390 --> 01:24:18.673
when you begin to tell them about that.

01:24:18.673 --> 01:24:21.427
It says that they have no idea what that is.

01:24:21.427 --> 01:24:23.200
And I think part of that issue is,

01:24:23.200 --> 01:24:25.200
is that we need to,

01:24:25.200 --> 01:24:26.990
well, there's no visual.

01:24:26.990 --> 01:24:29.190
Anytime that we put something out

01:24:29.190 --> 01:24:30.310
on social media

01:24:30.310 --> 01:24:33.370
and anything that there is no design

01:24:33.370 --> 01:24:34.950
or anything like that

01:24:34.950 --> 01:24:37.560
that is a identifying mark

01:24:38.410 --> 01:24:41.150
that is the Permanent School Fund.

01:24:41.150 --> 01:24:42.450
Unfortunately when that happens,

01:24:42.450 --> 01:24:44.020
is when something like that doesn't have

01:24:44.020 --> 01:24:45.260
a strong identity

01:24:45.260 --> 01:24:47.360
I think what you find out is that sometimes

01:24:47.360 --> 01:24:48.440
is that

01:24:48.440 --> 01:24:51.140
the identity gets hijacked by the politicians in this town.

01:24:51.140 --> 01:24:53.774
I don't if some of you have noticed that,

01:24:53.774 --> 01:24:54.607
that happens.

01:24:54.607 --> 01:24:57.178
(laughter)

01:24:57.178 --> 01:24:59.750
And so, my thought process was

01:24:59.750 --> 01:25:02.140
and I had some early discussions

01:25:02.140 --> 01:25:03.670
with some friends of mine

01:25:03.670 --> 01:25:06.090
who work in this field

01:25:06.090 --> 01:25:09.600
about maybe designing some sort of seal or logo.

01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:11.020
But then it occurred to me

01:25:11.020 --> 01:25:12.190
that we have

01:25:12.190 --> 01:25:13.510
all these young people,

01:25:13.510 --> 01:25:15.650
all these young aspiring artists

01:25:15.650 --> 01:25:17.350
who are in our art curriculum

01:25:17.350 --> 01:25:20.333
and who are in current technical education,

01:25:22.340 --> 01:25:23.940
who are doing graphic design,

01:25:23.940 --> 01:25:26.530
and why not have a student competition,

01:25:26.530 --> 01:25:28.330
and approach this in a way

01:25:28.330 --> 01:25:30.570
that is consistent with the mission

01:25:30.570 --> 01:25:31.950
of this board.

01:25:31.950 --> 01:25:35.510
And allow the students to compete

01:25:35.510 --> 01:25:40.510
and to submit to the board and to the committee

01:25:40.740 --> 01:25:43.330
a proposed logo and a design

01:25:43.330 --> 01:25:44.350
that would identify

01:25:44.350 --> 01:25:46.300
the Permanent School Fund.

01:25:46.300 --> 01:25:48.990
And so what the proposal then is,

01:25:48.990 --> 01:25:53.237
is that we would put out materials.

01:25:53.237 --> 01:25:55.400
And one thing this would do,

01:25:55.400 --> 01:25:59.190
I discovered in 17 years of running the FFA,

01:25:59.190 --> 01:26:01.860
if I wanted teachers to know something,

01:26:01.860 --> 01:26:04.010
if I put that in the context of something

01:26:04.010 --> 01:26:05.850
like a competition or something like that,

01:26:05.850 --> 01:26:07.317
well, they would have to teach it to the students

01:26:07.317 --> 01:26:09.080
and all of a sudden,

01:26:09.080 --> 01:26:11.130
the teachers themselves would have a great awareness.

01:26:11.130 --> 01:26:11.963
And I will tell you

01:26:11.963 --> 01:26:14.210
that as the years that I spent in the classroom,

01:26:14.210 --> 01:26:15.043
if you would have asked me

01:26:15.043 --> 01:26:16.620
what the Permanent School Fund was

01:26:16.620 --> 01:26:18.170
I could not have told you that.

01:26:19.270 --> 01:26:20.440
And so,

01:26:20.440 --> 01:26:22.210
this would also involve

01:26:22.210 --> 01:26:23.880
creating some collateral materials,

01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:24.820
some lesson plans

01:26:24.820 --> 01:26:26.387
and things like that

01:26:26.387 --> 01:26:28.110
to allow students to teach that

01:26:28.110 --> 01:26:28.943
to their students,

01:26:28.943 --> 01:26:30.960
so students could create art work

01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:32.460
that would reflect the mission

01:26:33.606 --> 01:26:35.073
and the history of the fund.

01:26:36.230 --> 01:26:38.610
The other thing that that would do then is that,

01:26:38.610 --> 01:26:40.160
well, what we're also proposing

01:26:43.027 --> 01:26:45.018
is a modest scholarship.

01:26:45.018 --> 01:26:47.220
That is something that we're gonna have to work on

01:26:47.220 --> 01:26:49.940
in terms of where that money would come from.

01:26:49.940 --> 01:26:52.290
I would tell you that it's been my experience

01:26:52.290 --> 01:26:53.790
is that anytime that

01:26:53.790 --> 01:26:56.550
you put scholarship money as an incentive out there,

01:26:56.550 --> 01:26:58.330
you always get the attention of teachers.

01:26:58.330 --> 01:27:00.037
Because teachers are really passionate about that.

01:27:00.037 --> 01:27:01.820
And you can raise money.

01:27:01.820 --> 01:27:03.850
It's one of the easiest things to raise money for,

01:27:03.850 --> 01:27:06.780
but it also gets people's attention

01:27:06.780 --> 01:27:08.600
when you start talking about an opportunity

01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:10.480
for a student to earn a scholarship

01:27:10.480 --> 01:27:12.323
to continue their education.

01:27:13.410 --> 01:27:15.680
So, what the proposal is

01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:20.680
and what the committee has approved is a design competition

01:27:21.870 --> 01:27:26.700
that would culminate in this board approving a logo,

01:27:26.700 --> 01:27:28.430
a design of some kind,

01:27:28.430 --> 01:27:30.070
for the Permanent School Fund

01:27:30.070 --> 01:27:31.980
in November of this year

01:27:31.980 --> 01:27:36.373
and, hopefully, with an unveiling in January of 2019.

01:27:37.310 --> 01:27:38.844
And that the winning student

01:27:38.844 --> 01:27:42.610
would not only have their work recognized

01:27:42.610 --> 01:27:43.850
into perpetuity,

01:27:43.850 --> 01:27:45.680
but then also, we would award

01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:47.833
a three thousand dollar scholarship.

01:27:51.550 --> 01:27:52.550
Miss Chair.

01:27:52.550 --> 01:27:54.170
<v Miss Bahorich>Yeah, I am</v>

01:27:55.204 --> 01:27:59.430
incredibly proud of Mr. Maynard and the committee.

01:27:59.430 --> 01:28:01.023
Mr. Maynard bringing this board

01:28:01.023 --> 01:28:03.337
and the committee recommend this to us.

01:28:03.337 --> 01:28:04.890
And I think this is a very

01:28:04.890 --> 01:28:06.510
important thing that the board has done.

01:28:06.510 --> 01:28:07.820
We've, just frankly,

01:28:07.820 --> 01:28:09.780
we complain about people not understanding

01:28:09.780 --> 01:28:11.370
this important constitutional duty

01:28:11.370 --> 01:28:12.680
that state board has.

01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:15.563
But we don't do much to promote that we do this work.

01:28:16.774 --> 01:28:18.470
And so we're looking for creative ways

01:28:18.470 --> 01:28:21.770
to promote how important this is

01:28:21.770 --> 01:28:23.580
to the state of Texas

01:28:23.580 --> 01:28:24.440
going forward.

01:28:24.440 --> 01:28:26.020
And I think this is the beginning

01:28:26.020 --> 01:28:28.700
of what is a very important move

01:28:28.700 --> 01:28:29.700
that the board needs to do.

01:28:29.700 --> 01:28:32.870
Because this fund is vital to our art students.

01:28:32.870 --> 01:28:34.990
And we don't

01:28:34.990 --> 01:28:35.823
just kind of

01:28:37.740 --> 01:28:38.670
not promoting it.

01:28:38.670 --> 01:28:40.550
Not understanding what it is.

01:28:40.550 --> 01:28:44.307
Not putting that forward in the public's mind

01:28:44.307 --> 01:28:46.450
so that there is great value placed

01:28:46.450 --> 01:28:48.190
behind the Permanent School Fund

01:28:48.190 --> 01:28:49.530
is remiss on our part.

01:28:49.530 --> 01:28:51.740
So I want to thank Member Maynard

01:28:51.740 --> 01:28:53.670
for thinking of this

01:28:53.670 --> 01:28:54.900
and really pursuing it

01:28:54.900 --> 01:28:56.010
and getting it to this forum.

01:28:56.010 --> 01:28:56.843
Thank you very much.

01:28:56.843 --> 01:28:58.470
Yes, Miss Hardy.

01:28:58.470 --> 01:29:00.050
<v Miss Hardy>I would just like to make a brief comment.</v>

01:29:00.050 --> 01:29:01.610
I want to thank my colleague

01:29:01.610 --> 01:29:02.780
for coming up with the idea.

01:29:02.780 --> 01:29:03.750
It's very clever

01:29:03.750 --> 01:29:07.070
and he's executed it quite well.

01:29:07.070 --> 01:29:08.303
But it's something in all the years

01:29:08.303 --> 01:29:12.010
I've never even thought about how significant that could be.

01:29:12.010 --> 01:29:15.240
Even to the people on the PSF staff

01:29:15.240 --> 01:29:17.020
on creating a letterhead

01:29:17.020 --> 01:29:18.100
and things like that,

01:29:18.100 --> 01:29:21.250
that it would be adventageous for them to have that.

01:29:21.250 --> 01:29:25.760
But, maybe as we got the lecture yesterday on branding,

01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:28.550
maybe it is something we are remiss about

01:29:28.550 --> 01:29:30.633
in a lot of respects on the State Board of Education

01:29:30.633 --> 01:29:34.170
that this might go towards fixing one.

01:29:34.170 --> 01:29:36.290
<v Miss Bahorich>The thing that's so significant</v>

01:29:36.290 --> 01:29:39.040
at 44.5 billion dollars,

01:29:39.040 --> 01:29:41.560
which is what the Permanent School Fund is

01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:43.133
as of the August,

01:29:44.540 --> 01:29:47.230
I'm gonna make sure I've got that right Mr. Timmons,

01:29:47.230 --> 01:29:52.230
as of the August close of the fiscal year, right, in 2017.

01:29:57.200 --> 01:29:59.670
If you don't watch the financial traffic

01:29:59.670 --> 01:30:01.646
that happens in the news reports

01:30:01.646 --> 01:30:02.479
and that kind of thing,

01:30:02.479 --> 01:30:06.088
you don't realize how often this fund is discussed.

01:30:06.088 --> 01:30:07.500
And investments,

01:30:07.500 --> 01:30:11.190
and there's a lot of chatter and talk about this fund

01:30:11.190 --> 01:30:13.952
because it's such big educational endowment

01:30:13.952 --> 01:30:15.200
for our students.

01:30:15.200 --> 01:30:18.480
So I think this branding is well time overdue,

01:30:18.480 --> 01:30:20.270
and I'm so thankful that you remembered it.

01:30:20.270 --> 01:30:21.283
Yes, Mr. Cortez.

01:30:22.550 --> 01:30:24.660
<v Mr. Cortez>I think it's a pretty cool idea.</v>

01:30:24.660 --> 01:30:27.860
So, you're suggesting a three thousand dollar scholarship?

01:30:27.860 --> 01:30:28.820
<v Mr. Maynard>Yes, sir.</v>

01:30:28.820 --> 01:30:32.260
One of our challenges, Mr. Cortez, is that, of course,

01:30:32.260 --> 01:30:35.090
we can't use public money to do that.

01:30:35.090 --> 01:30:36.570
<v Mr. Cortez>Well, there's 15 of us.</v>

01:30:36.570 --> 01:30:38.020
I'm sure we each have a campaign account.

01:30:38.020 --> 01:30:40.979
I'd be happy to give 200 dollars.

01:30:40.979 --> 01:30:41.812
<v Miss Bahorich>You may have a campaign account.</v>

01:30:41.812 --> 01:30:42.645
(laughter)

01:30:42.645 --> 01:30:43.523
<v Mr. Cortez>200 times 15 is three thousand dollars.</v>

01:30:43.523 --> 01:30:46.117
I would be happy to donate my part.

01:30:46.117 --> 01:30:49.660
<v Mr. Maynard>And I'm in for 200 dollars as well.</v>

01:30:49.660 --> 01:30:50.493
<v ->I'm in.</v>

01:30:50.493 --> 01:30:52.460
I think this is a great idea.

01:30:52.460 --> 01:30:54.500
Let our kids in the state of Texas

01:30:54.500 --> 01:30:55.620
come up with designs,

01:30:55.620 --> 01:30:57.670
and then we can talk about the mechanics,

01:30:57.670 --> 01:30:59.300
maybe in June about

01:31:00.469 --> 01:31:01.820
a criteria, committee

01:31:01.820 --> 01:31:03.914
or anything about you--

01:31:03.914 --> 01:31:05.350
<v Mr. Maynard>It's on the punch list.</v>

01:31:05.350 --> 01:31:07.440
<v ->But I think this is a pretty cool idea.</v>

01:31:07.440 --> 01:31:09.150
<v Miss Bahorich>Yeah, very cool.</v>

01:31:09.150 --> 01:31:09.983
<v ->Alright.</v>

01:31:09.983 --> 01:31:11.060
Any other discussion on that?

01:31:11.060 --> 01:31:13.100
Again, thank you Member Maynard.

01:31:13.100 --> 01:31:14.170
We really appreciate it.

01:31:14.170 --> 01:31:15.003
Alright.

01:31:15.003 --> 01:31:16.520
Committee on School Initiatives?

01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:18.020
I believe that's Miss Cargill.

01:31:20.430 --> 01:31:21.263
<v ->Okay.</v>

01:31:21.263 --> 01:31:23.570
So in your handouts,

01:31:23.570 --> 01:31:24.637
on page two

01:31:24.637 --> 01:31:26.610
on the Committee on School Initiatives,

01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:29.060
the committee recommends

01:31:29.060 --> 01:31:30.566
that the State Board,

01:31:30.566 --> 01:31:31.930
oh sorry,

01:31:31.930 --> 01:31:33.370
this is on page 4-23

01:31:34.270 --> 01:31:35.103
of your notebook.

01:31:35.103 --> 01:31:37.513
Proposed amendment to TAC Chapter 61.

01:31:38.420 --> 01:31:40.347
It's on page one of the minutes,

01:31:40.347 --> 01:31:42.470
but the motion is on the back,

01:31:42.470 --> 01:31:43.700
on page two.

01:31:43.700 --> 01:31:45.330
So the Committee of School Initiatives

01:31:45.330 --> 01:31:47.400
recommends that the State Board of Education

01:31:47.400 --> 01:31:50.160
approve for second reading and final adoption

01:31:50.160 --> 01:31:53.460
proposed amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 61,

01:31:53.460 --> 01:31:54.780
School Districts,

01:31:54.780 --> 01:31:55.910
Subchapter A,

01:31:55.910 --> 01:31:57.500
Board of Trustees Relationships,

01:31:57.500 --> 01:31:59.780
Section 61.1,

01:31:59.780 --> 01:32:02.300
Continuing Education for School Board Members,

01:32:02.300 --> 01:32:04.691
as amended by the Committee on School Initiatives

01:32:04.691 --> 01:32:07.584
with an effective date 20 days after filing

01:32:07.584 --> 01:32:10.410
as adopted with the Texas Register.

01:32:10.410 --> 01:32:11.990
<v Miss Bahorich>And members, I will note</v>

01:32:11.990 --> 01:32:14.700
that the committee would like a two-thirds vote

01:32:14.700 --> 01:32:15.533
on this one.

01:32:15.533 --> 01:32:16.560
So we will raise our hands.

01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:18.710
All those in favor, please raise your hand.

01:32:20.330 --> 01:32:22.430
All those opposed, please raise your hand.

01:32:24.050 --> 01:32:24.883
Did you see?

01:32:27.220 --> 01:32:30.500
And the vote did receive a two-thirds vote

01:32:30.500 --> 01:32:31.910
so

01:32:31.910 --> 01:32:33.920
with an earliest effective,

01:32:33.920 --> 01:32:36.750
early as soon as possible effective date.

01:32:36.750 --> 01:32:38.380
So the motion is carried.

01:32:38.380 --> 01:32:40.040
<v Miss Cargill>Okay, so we're on page three</v>

01:32:40.040 --> 01:32:41.310
of the minutes.

01:32:41.310 --> 01:32:46.220
Action item five, which is page 4-35 of your notebook.

01:32:46.220 --> 01:32:48.210

take no action

01:32:52.510 --> 01:32:53.730

with an effective date of 20 days

after filing the adoption notice

01:33:12.240 --> 01:33:14.080
with the Texas Register.

01:33:14.080 --> 01:33:14.913
<v Miss Bahorich>And we don't need</v>

01:33:14.913 --> 01:33:16.430
a two-thirds vote on this one?

01:33:16.430 --> 01:33:17.697
<v Woman>That's correct.</v>

01:33:17.697 --> 01:33:19.030
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:33:19.030 --> 01:33:21.034

01:33:24.693 --> 01:33:25.526
Again, on page three--

01:33:25.526 --> 01:33:26.359
<v Miss Bahorich>The motion is adopted.</v>

01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:27.770

01:34:19.451 --> 01:34:21.412
The Committee on School Initiatives recommends

01:34:21.412 --> 01:34:24.100

01:34:24.100 --> 01:34:28.310

01:34:55.740 --> 01:34:56.890
<v Miss Cargill>Okay, last one</v>

01:34:56.890 --> 01:34:59.100
is on page four of the minutes as well.

01:34:59.100 --> 01:35:01.140
Agenda item eight.

01:35:01.140 --> 01:35:04.230
Board Agenda page 4-91.

01:35:04.230 --> 01:35:06.040
The Committee on School Initiatives

01:35:06.040 --> 01:35:09.120
recommends that the State Board of Education take no action

01:35:09.120 --> 01:35:13.620
on proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 235,

01:35:13.620 --> 01:35:16.737
Classroom Teacher Certification Standards,

01:35:16.737 --> 01:35:17.887
Subchapter B,

01:35:17.887 --> 01:35:22.595
Elementary School Certificate Standards,

01:35:22.595 --> 01:35:24.657
<v ->with an effective date.</v>

01:35:24.657 --> 01:35:27.132
<v Miss Cargill>I don't have that on my minutes.</v>

01:35:27.132 --> 01:35:28.494
<v ->Is that correct?</v>

01:35:28.494 --> 01:35:30.154
<v Woman>That is, I believe that that is--</v>

01:35:30.154 --> 01:35:31.209
<v ->I want to make sure.</v>

01:35:31.209 --> 01:35:33.792
Is that with an effective date?

01:35:37.078 --> 01:35:37.911
Correct?

01:35:38.984 --> 01:35:39.817
Okay.

01:35:39.817 --> 01:35:40.650
So, that motion.

01:35:40.650 --> 01:35:43.078
Let me read that whole motion again.

01:35:43.078 --> 01:35:45.624
Recommend State Board of Education take no action

01:35:45.624 --> 01:35:48.541
on proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 235,

01:35:49.573 --> 01:35:51.487
Classroom Teacher Certification Standard,

01:35:51.487 --> 01:35:52.337
Subchapter B,

01:35:52.337 --> 01:35:54.353
Elementary School Certificate Standards,

01:35:54.353 --> 01:35:56.180
with an effective date of 20 days

01:35:56.180 --> 01:35:59.182
after filing the adoption notice with the Texas Register.

01:35:59.182 --> 01:36:01.580
Any discussion on that item.

01:36:01.580 --> 01:36:02.730
All those in favor say aye.

01:36:02.730 --> 01:36:03.880
<v Board>Aye.</v>

01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:05.313
<v ->All those opposed say no.</v>

01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:07.393
Motion is adopted.

01:36:07.393 --> 01:36:08.940
<v Miss Cargill>And one last announcement</v>

01:36:08.940 --> 01:36:11.110
to point out to members, Madam Chair.

01:36:11.110 --> 01:36:12.277
<v Miss Bahorich>Yes, please.</v>

01:36:12.277 --> 01:36:14.040
<v ->You have a piece of paper on your desk</v>

01:36:14.040 --> 01:36:17.110
that gives the Charter School Interview

01:36:17.110 --> 01:36:18.270
a timeline.

01:36:18.270 --> 01:36:21.050
On May 21st and May 22nd.

01:36:21.050 --> 01:36:22.490
I don't think the order of the--

01:36:22.490 --> 01:36:23.770
<v Miss Bahorich>Does everybody have that?</v>

01:36:23.770 --> 01:36:24.857
I don't.

01:36:24.857 --> 01:36:26.593
<v ->It's on your desk.</v>

01:36:26.593 --> 01:36:27.920
<v Miss Bahorich>It's in the box.</v>

01:36:27.920 --> 01:36:29.050
Oh, we need.

01:36:29.050 --> 01:36:29.945
I forgot to check the box.

01:36:29.945 --> 01:36:32.080
I don't think the order of the finalists

01:36:32.080 --> 01:36:33.300
has been determined yet.

01:36:33.300 --> 01:36:34.550
But the time is there.

01:36:34.550 --> 01:36:36.360
9:00 to 3:30

01:36:36.360 --> 01:36:37.540
on May 21st

01:36:37.540 --> 01:36:39.210
and May 22nd.

01:36:39.210 --> 01:36:40.043
<v Miss Bahorich>Okay.</v>

01:36:40.043 --> 01:36:40.876
And we're always,

01:36:40.876 --> 01:36:41.709
as yo know, members,

01:36:41.709 --> 01:36:42.940
we're always encouraged

01:36:42.940 --> 01:36:44.319
to attend those.

01:36:44.319 --> 01:36:46.600
So you'll be getting a

01:36:46.600 --> 01:36:48.400
notice from staff about

01:36:48.400 --> 01:36:49.980
making hotel reservations

01:36:49.980 --> 01:36:51.300
and that kind of thing

01:36:51.300 --> 01:36:53.139
as it gets closer.

01:36:53.139 --> 01:36:54.010
And again,

01:36:54.010 --> 01:36:56.130
those dates for the interviews

01:36:56.130 --> 01:36:58.590
for perspective charter operators

01:36:58.590 --> 01:36:59.870
would be May 21st

01:36:59.870 --> 01:37:01.920
and May 22nd.

01:37:01.920 --> 01:37:04.070
With the award of the recommendations

01:37:04.070 --> 01:37:05.370
will be coming from the Commissioner,

01:37:05.370 --> 01:37:07.330
it looks like May 31st.

01:37:07.330 --> 01:37:09.970
And then on Friday, June 15th

01:37:09.970 --> 01:37:10.860
at the Full Board meeting,

01:37:10.860 --> 01:37:12.130
the State Board of Education

01:37:12.130 --> 01:37:14.360
will take action or no action

01:37:14.360 --> 01:37:17.440
in accordance with TEC 12.101

01:37:17.440 --> 01:37:18.360
on the Commissioner's

01:37:18.360 --> 01:37:20.623
Proposed Charter School Recommendations.

01:37:25.590 --> 01:37:26.730
And I believe that's all

01:37:26.730 --> 01:37:28.340
for our agenda for today.

01:37:28.340 --> 01:37:30.258
I know some of you had changed your flights

01:37:30.258 --> 01:37:33.013
'cause we thought we were gonna get out of here earlier.

01:37:33.013 --> 01:37:36.400
So I would like to announce

01:37:36.400 --> 01:37:37.360
that Marissa

01:37:38.610 --> 01:37:39.443
Perez-Diaz

01:37:40.370 --> 01:37:41.580
has been named

01:37:41.580 --> 01:37:43.470
one of the University of Texas

01:37:43.470 --> 01:37:45.350
at San Antonio's 2018

01:37:45.350 --> 01:37:48.824
Outstanding Alumni of the Year.

01:37:48.824 --> 01:37:49.657
(applause)

01:37:49.657 --> 01:37:50.927
And she will receive the award on May 19th.

01:37:50.927 --> 01:37:51.760
(applause)

01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:53.040
Congratulations.

01:37:53.040 --> 01:37:53.873
Absolutely.

01:37:55.630 --> 01:37:56.527
Members, and I believe that it.

01:37:56.527 --> 01:37:58.070
Any other personal news

01:37:58.070 --> 01:37:58.950
somebody would like to share.

01:37:58.950 --> 01:38:00.220
Yes, Miss Cargill.

01:38:00.220 --> 01:38:01.550
<v Miss Cargill>For all of us.</v>

01:38:01.550 --> 01:38:03.950
I hope everyone is enjoying,

01:38:03.950 --> 01:38:06.513
or did enjoy choosing your student hero.

01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:10.150
Mine was a really hard,

01:38:10.150 --> 01:38:11.540
well it's a really hard decision every year,

01:38:11.540 --> 01:38:13.250
but I hope you enjoy meeting that student

01:38:13.250 --> 01:38:14.760
and maybe going out to the school district

01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:15.593
and the school.

01:38:15.593 --> 01:38:17.960
I always take a big thing of balloons.

01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:19.751
So have fun with that.

01:38:19.751 --> 01:38:20.584
Yeah.

01:38:20.584 --> 01:38:21.557
<v Miss Bahorich>I do a surprise thing with mine</v>

01:38:21.557 --> 01:38:22.560
and get the school involved

01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:24.260
and you make it fun.

01:38:24.260 --> 01:38:26.220
Yeah, Mr Maynard.

01:38:26.220 --> 01:38:29.520
<v Mr. Maynard>Board, I'd like to introduce a intern,</v>

01:38:29.520 --> 01:38:30.760
Logan Ross,

01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:33.903
who is one of Miss Cargill's constituents.

01:38:34.910 --> 01:38:36.250
He is a student.

01:38:36.250 --> 01:38:38.510
He just this week turned 20

01:38:39.930 --> 01:38:41.780
but will graduate from Tarleton State

01:38:41.780 --> 01:38:44.480
with a 4.0 grade point average

01:38:44.480 --> 01:38:47.141
and has been admitted to grad school there.

01:38:47.141 --> 01:38:48.960
But one of his requirements

01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:50.810
is to attend a professional meeting,

01:38:50.810 --> 01:38:52.525
and he was hoping to get,

01:38:52.525 --> 01:38:54.710
he has an agenda book back there.

01:38:54.710 --> 01:38:57.200
He was hoping to get all of your autographs.

01:38:57.200 --> 01:38:58.986
<v Miss Bahorich>Don't leave without autographing</v>

01:38:58.986 --> 01:38:59.819
in his book.

01:38:59.819 --> 01:39:01.100
<v ->If you could autograph his book.</v>

01:39:01.100 --> 01:39:02.360
I would appreciate that.

01:39:02.360 --> 01:39:05.080
To provide him some valuable documentation

01:39:05.080 --> 01:39:08.543
and maybe take a social media picture.

01:39:08.543 --> 01:39:10.410
<v Miss Bahorich>Any other</v>

01:39:10.410 --> 01:39:14.362
personal news we need to be let in on.

01:39:14.362 --> 01:39:15.800
Alright members.

01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:16.633
Good meeting

01:39:16.633 --> 01:39:18.153
and we will see you in June.
