WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.219
(gavel bangs)
00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:03.700
All right members,
we're gonna call to order,
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:06.650
I apologize for the delay, getting some
00:00:06.650 --> 00:00:08.173
last minute things squared away.
00:00:08.173 --> 00:00:09.673
Thank you.
00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.390
So I want to welcome everyone
to the September 11th, 2020
00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:16.350
meeting of the Texas
State Board of Education.
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:19.450
We are gonna have our
pledges and invocation,
00:00:19.450 --> 00:00:23.810
but I do want to make a
quick moment of silence here
00:00:23.810 --> 00:00:27.520
and this is September
11th, 19 years ago,
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:31.560
we had the tragedy, but
I want us to remember
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:34.100
that 19 years later, what
binds us together is stronger
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:35.990
than still what tries to tear us apart.
00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:37.990
So let's take a quick moment of silence.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.673
Thank you.
00:00:50.810 --> 00:00:55.440
I am gonna begin by
having Mr. Cortez introduce
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:57.370
our virtual school performance
00:00:58.410 --> 00:01:00.293
from wherever you're more comfortable.
00:01:07.210 --> 00:01:08.720
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:12.913
Good morning Board
and audience listening.
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:18.730
It's my distinct pleasure
to introduce my dear friend,
00:01:18.730 --> 00:01:22.050
Dr. Gonzalo Salazar from the Los Fresnos
00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:24.250
Consolidated
Independent School District,
00:01:24.250 --> 00:01:28.123
a district in Region 1
and in SBOE District 2,
00:01:29.590 --> 00:01:34.590
one that's earned TEA's
post-secondary readiness distinction
00:01:35.020 --> 00:01:39.640
each year, since TEA began
awarding that distinction.
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.883
One of only five districts
in the state of Texas.
00:01:47.098 --> 00:01:47.931
Los Fresnos CISD is a six-eight district
00:01:47.931 --> 00:01:49.810
serving nearly 11,000 students.
00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:51.940
It's located in the heart
of Cameron County,
00:01:51.940 --> 00:01:56.200
about nine miles North
of the border with Mexico
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.330
and 14 miles West of
South Padre Island, Texas.
00:02:00.330 --> 00:02:03.670
It consists of 14 campuses and serves
00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:08.670
a geographic area of 451 square miles.
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:13.820
The demographic of the
district is representative
00:02:14.124 --> 00:02:17.460
of one of the fastest growing
demographics in the state,
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:21.687
Hispanic 96%, low socio-economic, 78%,
00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:26.920
2% student population is Anglo
00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:29.940
and other nationalities
make up the difference.
00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:32.700
The community of Los Fresnos is proud
00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:35.240
of the achievements of its students.
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.112
Last year, the college board
recognized Los Fresno CISD
00:02:39.112 --> 00:02:42.820
as a mid-sized honor roll
school district of the year,
00:02:42.820 --> 00:02:45.860
a national recognition
given to Texas schools
00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:50.783
based on student performance
and advance placement exams.
00:02:51.727 --> 00:02:55.580
So I'd like for us to
listen to Dr. Salazar,
00:02:55.580 --> 00:03:00.457
as he introduces this
morning's student performances,
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.100
from Los Fresnos Elementary,
Los Fresnos Elementary
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:09.893
Conjunto and Los Fresnos
High School Jazz Band.
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:40.414
...performance for a
most special experience
00:03:40.414 --> 00:03:42.934
and the Los Fresnos
Elementary students take
00:03:42.934 --> 00:03:45.620
a joyful tune to "Count
on Me," from Bruno Mars.
00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:48.300
They are led by their
elementary music teacher,
00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.823
Santiago Castillo as
he plays the ukulele.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.790
We picked this video, not
because of the music prowess
00:03:54.790 --> 00:03:57.310
of our our students, but
because it captures the purity
00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.010
of heir hearts and it
reminds us to the incredible
00:04:00.010 --> 00:04:02.970
responsibility we assume
when we come into
00:04:02.970 --> 00:04:04.827
the field of education.
00:04:20.313 --> 00:04:23.146
(computer chimes)
00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:00.091

(applause)
00:07:05.689 --> 00:07:07.190
Did you enjoy that performance?
00:07:07.190 --> 00:07:08.410
Yeah, amazing!
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:10.050
The next pre-recorded
performance
00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:12.620
is by another group at
Los Fresnos Elementary.
00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:16.327
This is the Los Fresnos
Elementary Conjunto performing,
00:07:16.327 --> 00:07:19.450
"Come on Everybody, Say Sap, Sap, Sapo"
00:07:19.450 --> 00:07:22.230
by the Tejano sensation, La Sombra.
00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:25.090
They go under the
direction of, you guessed it,
00:07:25.090 --> 00:07:28.520
Mr. Castillo, who teaches
them to play string instruments,
00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:31.900
drums, and amazingly, the accordion.
00:07:31.900 --> 00:07:34.990
This is a prerecorded synchronous
experience that captures
00:07:34.990 --> 00:07:38.440
the importance of validating
the culture of our students.
00:07:38.440 --> 00:07:40.540
You see, we believe
students don't come to school
00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:43.390
with empty containers
that teachers must fill.
00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:46.290
Every student brings a
wealth of funds of knowledge
00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:49.200
and cultural capital
that we can build on.
00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:52.610
It is up to our staff, to draw
out their talent and build
00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:55.200
a self-assurance that will enable them
00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:56.860
to teach other content.
00:08:03.525 --> 00:08:08.108
(children performing enthusiastically)
00:10:49.551 --> 00:10:53.374
(music concludes brilliantly)
00:10:53.374 --> 00:10:55.387
(enthusiastic applause)
00:10:55.387 --> 00:10:57.103
The final performance is
the on-stage performance
00:10:57.103 --> 00:10:59.730
of the Los Fresnos
High School Jazz Band.
00:10:59.730 --> 00:11:02.672
The Jazz Band is under the
direction of Mr. David LeClerc
00:11:02.672 --> 00:11:05.960
Our students are
performing, "Moment's notice,"
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.174
by Coltrane and Baylock.
00:11:08.174 --> 00:11:09.909
This video is an
example of what the kids
00:11:09.909 --> 00:11:13.090
throughout this great state
can achieve when adults invest
00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:17.107
in them and instill the
love of music and the arts,
00:11:17.107 --> 00:11:19.940
we hope you enjoy the performance.
00:11:21.068 --> 00:11:25.735
(students performing "Moment's Notice")
00:15:13.633 --> 00:15:17.850
Dr. Ellis, members of the
Board, Commissioner Morath,
00:15:17.850 --> 00:15:20.400
thank you for the opportunity
to highlight our students.
00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:23.650
This evening, you experienced
the purity of their hearts,
00:15:23.650 --> 00:15:26.270
the importance of validating
the culture of our students,
00:15:26.270 --> 00:15:29.210
and what is possible
when adults invest in kids.
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:32.070
Today is actually the first
day of school in Los Fresnos.
00:15:32.070 --> 00:15:34.360
We made data driven
decisions and decided
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.700
we should delay the
start of the year to allow
00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:38.980
the mitigation measures
implemented at the state
00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:41.090
and local levels to take effect.
00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:43.518
This was not an easy
decision, but in the end
00:15:43.518 --> 00:15:47.560
we decided we should
start safe to finish strong.
00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:50.570
Our students are participating
in remote learning today,
00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:53.430
and our teachers are engaging
students in synchronous
00:15:53.430 --> 00:15:56.360
and asynchronous experiences
with an age appropriate
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.010
level of rigor that
communicates high expectations.
00:16:00.010 --> 00:16:02.510
On behalf of my colleagues at Region 1,
00:16:02.510 --> 00:16:04.965
thank you for trusting
us to make decisions
00:16:04.965 --> 00:16:07.765
that are in the best interest
of our students and staff.
00:16:09.050 --> 00:16:11.196
Please know, we
recognize that our teachers
00:16:11.196 --> 00:16:13.590
are the best resources students have,
00:16:13.590 --> 00:16:16.130
and that we understand
the obligation we have
00:16:16.130 --> 00:16:18.614
to deliver a quality
educational experience
00:16:18.614 --> 00:16:20.930
that every student deserves.
00:16:20.930 --> 00:16:22.510
We will work through the challenges
00:16:22.510 --> 00:16:25.490
to resolve and remove obstacles further.
00:16:25.490 --> 00:16:27.420
We pray for you as leaders in our state,
00:16:27.420 --> 00:16:30.523
and that the Lord will continue
to be a lamp onto your path.
00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.933
And have a wonderful meeting.
00:16:35.053 --> 00:16:35.970
Mr. Chair
00:16:37.864 --> 00:16:40.680
Mr. Chair Mr. Cortez.
00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:43.750
Yeah, you know, as usual
at this part of the performance,
00:16:43.750 --> 00:16:46.780
we issue the special recognition.
00:16:46.780 --> 00:16:51.320
I'll be doing those in the
district when I get back,
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.780
if they're having a meeting
or through a virtual meeting
00:16:54.780 --> 00:16:57.480
and then have them
delivered to the school district,
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.110
but I just wanted to highlight the fact
00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:04.330
that at least the first two
performances are a great example
00:17:04.330 --> 00:17:06.780
of what students are still
able to learn and keeping
00:17:06.780 --> 00:17:10.690
the arts alive through an
at-home school process.
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:12.860
And so it's exciting,
it's exciting to see.
00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:16.053
I know one of them was a
previous previous recording
00:17:16.053 --> 00:17:21.053
from a district performance,
but as we sit here
00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:25.450
and make decisions for,
the 5.4 million Texas children,
00:17:25.450 --> 00:17:27.190
you know, I hope that the Commissioner
00:17:27.190 --> 00:17:28.960
takes into consideration
some of the words
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.490
Dr. Gonzalo Salazar
just stated and rethinks
00:17:33.490 --> 00:17:37.040
his evaluation of
allowing children back into
00:17:37.040 --> 00:17:40.670
our Texas schools
until it's safe to do so.
00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:43.060
At least in those areas that
are really, really hotspots.
00:17:43.060 --> 00:17:46.290
I think the local control in that effort
00:17:46.290 --> 00:17:48.240
would be the best thing
to make sure that we keep
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.100
all children in this state safe,
00:17:50.100 --> 00:17:52.550
as well as every school employee.
00:17:52.550 --> 00:17:53.383
Thank you.
00:17:53.383 --> 00:17:55.010
Thank you, Mr. Cortez,
and I would ask you
00:17:55.010 --> 00:17:57.790
to take back a message
to the superintendent
00:17:57.790 --> 00:17:59.530
and the students of Los Fresnos.
00:17:59.530 --> 00:18:02.900
That was the best
moment of the week for me,
00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:05.095
those student performances, for sure.
00:18:05.095 --> 00:18:09.060
And just a quick note, I
want to thank Dr. Floyd
00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:14.060
from TMEA, between agency
and Los Fresnos there was an issue
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.780
with one of the songs and
copyrights, and they had to
00:18:16.780 --> 00:18:19.670
go through some
formalities to get that done.
00:18:19.670 --> 00:18:22.070
So TMEA worked very
closely with Los Fresnos
00:18:22.070 --> 00:18:27.070
and TEA and Los Fresnos
worked with TMEA to expedite
00:18:28.781 --> 00:18:31.970
the approval that normally
takes multiple weeks.
00:18:31.970 --> 00:18:35.100
They got it done in a few
days, otherwise we might not
00:18:35.100 --> 00:18:38.033
have had this performance
take place today.
00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:40.390
So thank you to them as well.
00:18:41.470 --> 00:18:45.040
All right, that will move
us to our invocation pledges.
00:18:45.040 --> 00:18:47.123
And I believe I'm calling on Mr. Mercer.
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.430
Thank you Mr. President,
Mr. Chairman,
00:18:55.430 --> 00:18:56.263
sorry, Mr. Chairman.
00:18:56.263 --> 00:18:57.096
Good morning.
00:18:59.750 --> 00:19:01.150
Threw me off there, sir!
00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:05.786
As Dr. Ellis shared recently,
we know that today is a...
00:19:05.786 --> 00:19:07.800
shouldn't say an anniversary
to say a special day,
00:19:07.800 --> 00:19:10.990
a memory that there were
3000 fellow Americans
00:19:10.990 --> 00:19:13.110
whose last night was just that,
00:19:13.110 --> 00:19:15.870
it was the last night
with their families.
00:19:15.870 --> 00:19:20.310
And we remember that and
I still remember the attacks,
00:19:20.310 --> 00:19:23.350
we stay at, and I remember
the, the ironic thing for us
00:19:23.350 --> 00:19:25.950
is that there's a picture
of there George Bush,
00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:28.180
President Juke Bush had a
"Reading is Fundamental,"
00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:31.860
RIF-program and he's actually
reading to elementary kids
00:19:31.860 --> 00:19:33.577
when they came and
whispered in his ear and said,
00:19:33.577 --> 00:19:36.437
"Mr. President, that first
plane was no accident."
00:19:36.437 --> 00:19:40.530
"There's been a second
plane, America's under attack."
00:19:40.530 --> 00:19:44.200
So I'll invite you quickly for
a second moment of silence,
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.640
just to think where
you were, just to reflect
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.197
where you were 19 years ago.
00:19:53.475 --> 00:19:55.660
And then with that, there there's a poem
00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:58.420
that became a prayer actually
and after it became a song,
00:19:58.420 --> 00:20:01.910
it talks about some of the
storm clouds in our country
00:20:01.910 --> 00:20:03.480
have gone around
and I think you'd agree,
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.235
we have storm clouds right now.
00:20:05.235 --> 00:20:07.690
And the song talked about
storm clouds like World War I,
00:20:07.690 --> 00:20:09.903
World War II, the Middle East.
00:20:10.830 --> 00:20:13.630
But it says that when
the storm clouds gather,
00:20:13.630 --> 00:20:16.880
whether at home or across the sea,
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.190
we're gonna do what we do today.
00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:19.950
And we're still gonna
pledge allegiance to the land
00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:22.260
that we believe that
there still must be a land
00:20:22.260 --> 00:20:24.853
that is now always and forever free.
00:20:26.390 --> 00:20:29.760
And the poem, the
prayer says that, uh (sings)
00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:33.482

00:20:33.482 --> 00:20:37.656

Stand for our pledge and the flag.
00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:45.276
The American flag, stand, salute!
00:21:45.276 --> 00:21:46.109
(members together)
00:21:46.109 --> 00:21:48.350
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
00:21:48.350 --> 00:21:50.830
of the United States of America
00:21:50.830 --> 00:21:53.560
and to the Republic for which it stands
00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:55.750
One Nation under God,
00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:59.283
Indivisible with Liberty

Stand, salute, honor, the Texas Flag!

Let me see where I'm at here.

So the next order of business
is to approve the minutes

Okay, I will call on Ms.
Perez for the presentations.
00:24:43.020 --> 00:24:45.420
So members, this is always
my favorite time of the year.
00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:47.417
However, that's always
a good time to spend time
00:24:47.417 --> 00:24:50.187
with my colleagues
and friends, but this year,
00:24:50.187 --> 00:24:54.190
or this time of year is when
we start to honor our students
00:24:54.190 --> 00:24:58.120
for being outstanding
young people who clearly
00:24:58.120 --> 00:25:00.540
are the future of our nation.
00:25:00.540 --> 00:25:03.620
But this year, especially
we have some students
00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:05.480
that we will be recognizing
that demonstrate
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:07.373
just how bright our future is.
00:25:08.810 --> 00:25:11.720
First, we have three
resolutions to present.
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.720
The first one is the PBS
News Hour Student Report.
00:25:17.030 --> 00:25:20.413
And this is our Journalist of the Year.
00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:23.980
Whereas the PBS News
Hour Student Reporting Lab

video journalism
curriculum and a network

mentors to develop digital media,

critical thinking and
communication skills
00:25:35.070 --> 00:25:37.050
while producing original news reports
00:25:37.050 --> 00:25:39.180

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:07.760
And whereas Caleb Velez is
known for his strong storytelling
00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:11.100
abilities and knack for
finding alternative angles
00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:14.118
to stories and whereas he has proven,
00:26:14.118 --> 00:26:18.590
he has a proven track record
of producing quality content.
00:26:18.590 --> 00:26:23.380
Now therefore be it
resolved that the Texas State
00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:26.874

hereby congratulate Caleb Velez

and I do not have any
envy for you all who have
00:27:06.470 --> 00:27:11.270
much smaller districts
than I get to see 40%
00:27:11.270 --> 00:27:15.263
of the state and believe
me, my district is the prettiest.
00:27:15.263 --> 00:27:16.350

All right. That's a
great idea, Ms. Cargill.
00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:09.630
Okay, we, I believe are
now on item number two,
00:38:09.630 --> 00:38:11.400
which is approval of the Consent Agenda.
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:12.310
The next business--
00:38:12.310 --> 00:38:13.493
Ah, Chairman--
I'm sorry.
00:38:13.493 --> 00:38:15.550
I'm Sorry.
So actually next
00:38:15.550 --> 00:38:18.158
should be public testimony--
I'm sorry.
00:38:18.158 --> 00:38:19.380
I've been
monitoring the Zoom.
00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:22.420
You did have one
registerant, but there is nobody
00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.650
in the Zoom waiting room.
00:38:23.650 --> 00:38:27.343
So we will assume that
that individual decided not to.
00:38:27.343 --> 00:38:29.160
Mr. Chair?
For clarification--
00:38:29.160 --> 00:38:30.060
Do we need a--
we have no one.
00:38:30.060 --> 00:38:32.350
We had one registered
for public testimony.
00:38:32.350 --> 00:38:33.400
They are not here today.
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:34.233
Mr. Cortez?
00:38:34.233 --> 00:38:35.879

I think we do.
Yeah.
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:38.940

Thank you, Mr. Cortez,
keeping me in line.
00:38:49.630 --> 00:38:53.210
All right, so we have public
testimony next on the agenda.
00:38:53.210 --> 00:38:54.550
No-one's here for public testimony.
00:38:54.550 --> 00:38:55.950
We'll move to the next item.
00:38:56.930 --> 00:38:57.763
All right.
00:38:57.763 --> 00:39:00.330

next business in order
00:39:00.330 --> 00:39:02.420
is the approval of the Consent Agenda.
00:39:02.420 --> 00:39:05.620

The items on your Consent Agenda.
00:39:13.011 --> 00:39:15.830
And I believe the only
item we have is decision
00:39:15.830 --> 00:39:18.850
on the percentage distribution
of the permanent school fund
00:39:18.850 --> 00:39:23.850
for fiscal year 2022 and 2023
and related fund transfers.
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.670
Is there any request to remove an item
00:39:30.670 --> 00:39:31.933
from the Consent Agenda?
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:35.833
Hearing none.
00:39:35.833 --> 00:39:37.533
The Consent Agenda is adopted.
00:39:39.010 --> 00:39:39.843
Okay.
00:39:39.843 --> 00:39:42.420
That will move us to item

has proposed new 19 TAC

00:39:52.050 --> 00:39:56.020
It's 1-12.41 through 1-12.45.
00:39:56.020 --> 00:39:59.537
And I'm gonna call on Ms,
it's on page 11 of your agenda
00:39:59.537 --> 00:40:00.680
and I'm gonna call on Mr. Rowley.
00:40:00.680 --> 00:40:01.513
Yep.
00:40:01.513 --> 00:40:02.346
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
00:40:02.346 --> 00:40:03.940
The committee, the full board recommends
00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:06.130
that the State Board
of Education approved
00:40:06.130 --> 00:40:08.700
for first reading and filing
authorization proposed
00:40:08.700 --> 00:40:12.570
new 19 TAC Chapter 1-12
Texas Essential Knowledge
00:40:12.570 --> 00:40:16.120
and Skills for Science
Subchapter C, High School section
00:40:16.120 --> 00:40:19.720
1-12.41 implementation of
Texas Essential Knowledge
00:40:19.720 --> 00:40:24.033
and Skills for Science High
School adopted 2020, 1-12.42,
00:40:25.470 --> 00:40:30.470
Biology, one credit, adopted
2020 12.43, Chemistry,
00:40:31.140 --> 00:40:36.140
one credit adopted 2020,
12.44 Integrated Physics
00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:40.430
and Chemistry, one credit
adopted 2020 and 1-12.45
00:40:41.490 --> 00:40:44.043
Physics, one credit adopted 2020.
00:40:45.770 --> 00:40:47.291
As amended.
00:40:47.291 --> 00:40:48.990
(scattered mirth)
00:40:48.990 --> 00:40:50.120
Got it.
00:40:50.120 --> 00:40:52.482
Alright, thank you, Mr. Rowley,
00:40:52.482 --> 00:40:55.970
Little voice.
Background voice.
00:40:55.970 --> 00:40:58.320
But, as amended.
That's right.
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.970
So we are ready
to move to the vote
00:41:00.970 --> 00:41:04.000
if members are ready and I will...
00:41:05.750 --> 00:41:07.837
Questions, Ms. Perez-Diaz?
00:41:07.837 --> 00:41:08.670
Yes, I am.
00:41:08.670 --> 00:41:10.561
I did have one amendment to propose--
00:41:10.561 --> 00:41:11.394
Okay?
00:41:11.394 --> 00:41:13.263
And was wondering if it
would be an order right now.
00:41:14.130 --> 00:41:15.559
It'd be an order now?
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:16.392
Yeah.
00:41:16.392 --> 00:41:17.225
Okay, go ahead.
00:41:17.225 --> 00:41:21.757
I'd like to propose an
amendment to Biology,
00:41:21.757 --> 00:41:26.757
13-D and as the language reads,
00:41:27.217 --> 00:41:30.320
"Explain how environmental
change affects biodiversity
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.640
and analyze how changes in biodiversity
00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:35.270
impact ecosystem stability."
00:41:35.270 --> 00:41:40.270
I'd like to add after change,
comma, including change
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:44.890
due to human activity,
comma, affects biodiversity,
00:41:44.890 --> 00:41:46.170
and so on.
00:41:46.170 --> 00:41:47.714
Second.
00:41:47.714 --> 00:41:49.774
We have a motion and a second,
00:41:49.774 --> 00:41:52.920
and I'm gonna hold a minute,
or do you have the ability
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:54.898
to put that on the
screen or no right now?
00:41:54.898 --> 00:41:59.898
Actually
not, (faintly speaking)
00:42:00.310 --> 00:42:03.880
Okay, let's give members
just a moment to pull
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:09.453
the rural text out and look at that.
00:42:14.120 --> 00:42:17.474
And Ms. Perez-Diaz again, the reference?
00:42:17.474 --> 00:42:20.940
It's a biology 13-D.
00:42:20.940 --> 00:42:23.323
13-D
D as in dog.
00:42:27.240 --> 00:42:29.530
And, again, the changes to add?
00:42:29.530 --> 00:42:33.670
Change is to add
after change comma,
00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:38.257
including change due to
human activity, comma and so on.
00:42:50.610 --> 00:42:52.950
And then may I speak to my motion?
00:42:52.950 --> 00:42:54.010
Yes, go ahead please do.
Yes
00:42:54.010 --> 00:42:54.843
Thank you.
00:42:54.843 --> 00:42:57.060
So at this way, I think it's
really important for students
00:42:57.060 --> 00:43:00.630
to learn about how human
activity really does have
00:43:00.630 --> 00:43:03.550
a meaningful impact on biodiversity
00:43:03.550 --> 00:43:06.020
and the stability of our ecosystem.
00:43:06.020 --> 00:43:09.380
And so, you know, I think
it's pretty evident again,
00:43:09.380 --> 00:43:12.040
I referenced earlier
this week, the fires
00:43:12.040 --> 00:43:14.720
that are taking place in
California, Oregon, Washington,
00:43:14.720 --> 00:43:19.070
it's I think it's really important
for youth to understand
00:43:19.070 --> 00:43:21.677
what they're seeing and
experiencing around them.
00:43:21.677 --> 00:43:23.940
So for that reasons, I'm asking
00:43:23.940 --> 00:43:27.023
that this amendment be adopted.
00:43:29.170 --> 00:43:30.003
All right--
00:43:30.003 --> 00:43:31.070
Could we
have a minute to digest,
00:43:31.070 --> 00:43:34.030
I think it's a new, is this all new?
00:43:34.030 --> 00:43:36.330
Then thanks to our
wonderful parliamentarian
00:43:36.330 --> 00:43:38.750
who was able to scramble
and get that together,
00:43:38.750 --> 00:43:40.440
it's on your screen now.
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:42.440
I'm guess
just, I'm not finding it.
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:43.550
On
your agenda book,
00:43:43.550 --> 00:43:48.450
it's Roman numeral one
1-19, the middle of the page.
00:43:48.450 --> 00:43:49.283
Ms. Perez Diaz.
00:43:49.283 --> 00:43:52.553
Can you confirm that Ms. Kay,
has it correct on the screen?
00:43:59.069 --> 00:44:00.910
I have
comma, including change
00:44:00.910 --> 00:44:02.523
due to human activity.
00:44:03.660 --> 00:44:04.630
Okay. I found it.
00:44:04.630 --> 00:44:07.973
Give us just a second, please,
if you don't mind, Mr. Chair.
00:44:09.043 --> 00:44:09.876
Okay.
00:44:10.730 --> 00:44:11.900
I just
had a quick question
00:44:11.900 --> 00:44:16.890
cause I thought we added
regarding climate change,
00:44:16.890 --> 00:44:19.983
but I don't remember
what that change was.
00:44:21.720 --> 00:44:23.180
Oh, it was this different course?
00:44:23.180 --> 00:44:24.140
Yeah, I
believe that was
00:44:24.140 --> 00:44:25.787
when we had a climate change--
00:44:25.787 --> 00:44:26.620
I gotcha. I gotcha.
00:44:26.620 --> 00:44:27.453
I gotcha. Okay.
00:44:27.453 --> 00:44:29.420
This isn't biology.
I gotcha, okay.
00:44:59.540 --> 00:45:01.000
While they're
looking at this, Ms. Perez-Diaz,
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.630
is this, you said the only
amendment you have?
00:45:11.870 --> 00:45:13.133
I
believe I did have a,
00:45:13.133 --> 00:45:16.102
I did want to refer back
to one of the amendments
00:45:16.102 --> 00:45:20.110
that member Cargill had made.
00:45:20.110 --> 00:45:24.628
I believe it was 90, I can
look at that one in a little bit.
00:45:24.628 --> 00:45:26.993
We'll stick
to this motion here.
00:45:30.830 --> 00:45:35.613
Members you let me know when
you've had time to digest this.
00:45:52.390 --> 00:45:53.810
Alright.
00:45:53.810 --> 00:45:55.690
Any other comments
members, did you still
00:45:55.690 --> 00:45:56.690
need some more time?
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:05.550
Alright.
00:46:05.550 --> 00:46:07.760
Going twice.
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:08.943
Any more comments?
00:46:10.300 --> 00:46:13.820
All right, so no further
discussion is what I'm hearing.
00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:17.300
The amendment that has
been seconded is to add
00:46:17.300 --> 00:46:20.070
including change due to human activity.
00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:22.047
Is there objection?
00:46:22.047 --> 00:46:23.770
Nope.
00:46:23.770 --> 00:46:24.930
I think that was a no,
00:46:24.930 --> 00:46:26.080
no, there was no objection.
00:46:26.080 --> 00:46:27.220
Correct.
00:46:27.220 --> 00:46:28.870
All right, the motion is adopted.
00:46:29.790 --> 00:46:30.623
Thank you members,
00:46:30.623 --> 00:46:33.173
and I just wanted to reference
that I wanted to make sure
00:46:33.173 --> 00:46:37.303
that I understood I'm looking at 9-B.
00:46:44.176 --> 00:46:46.051
(hums)
00:46:46.051 --> 00:46:47.525
Still in biology?
00:46:47.525 --> 00:46:48.560
Still in biology?
Still in biology.
00:46:48.560 --> 00:46:49.910
Still in biology, yes, sir.
00:46:54.390 --> 00:46:56.580
Mr. Chairman,
what I'm projecting
00:46:56.580 --> 00:47:01.220
are the changes that the
Committee of the Full board made.
00:47:01.220 --> 00:47:03.130
If you would give me a few minutes,
00:47:03.130 --> 00:47:06.630
I can pull up the current roll text now
00:47:06.630 --> 00:47:08.280
because I've received it, but I'd need
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:11.430
just a minute to make that change.
00:47:11.430 --> 00:47:12.263
Thank you.
00:47:55.188 --> 00:47:57.188
Okay.
00:47:58.910 --> 00:48:03.910
So I would ask the member Cargill,
00:48:05.370 --> 00:48:09.614
the maker of the motion Wednesday,
00:48:09.614 --> 00:48:14.614
if we can just add one,
one word in her language.
00:48:17.950 --> 00:48:20.907
So I believe she introduced,
00:48:20.907 --> 00:48:23.290
"Examined scientific
explanation for varying
00:48:23.290 --> 00:48:25.249
rates of change."
00:48:25.249 --> 00:48:29.130
And that I don't have
the other language,
00:48:29.130 --> 00:48:32.300
but I believe it said such
as abrupt appearance
00:48:32.300 --> 00:48:35.440
and stasis in their fossil record.
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:39.050
Chairman, if
the board members will open
00:48:39.050 --> 00:48:41.550
the minutes that I emailed last night,
00:48:41.550 --> 00:48:44.010
there is an attachment to those minutes.
00:48:44.010 --> 00:48:47.080
It's the only attachment
A, that is the rule text
00:48:47.080 --> 00:48:49.720
that reflects all of the changes
that you made this week.
00:48:49.720 --> 00:48:51.357
Oh, got it.
00:48:51.357 --> 00:48:55.710
And that's, that's what
Kay is, is projecting as well.
00:48:55.710 --> 00:48:57.423
Oh, got it.
Thank you.
00:49:02.150 --> 00:49:03.310
Okay,
that's that's good.
00:49:03.310 --> 00:49:05.430
I just needed some clarification
cause I wasn't quite sure,
00:49:05.430 --> 00:49:07.450
but no, I don't have any changes then.
00:49:07.450 --> 00:49:08.283
Thank you.
00:49:10.232 --> 00:49:11.330
So there are
no proposed changes
00:49:11.330 --> 00:49:14.643
from member Perez-Diaz?
No, sir.
00:49:19.653 --> 00:49:22.720
All right, so is there
any other discussion
00:49:22.720 --> 00:49:26.193
or amendments from members on this item?
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.253
Hearing none, we will move to the vote.
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:38.383
I will wait on Ms. Martinez to
let me know when she's ready.
00:49:39.520 --> 00:49:44.290
So all those in favor of
the motion as presented
00:49:44.290 --> 00:49:45.740
show by raising of your hand,
00:49:55.552 --> 00:49:58.302
and all opposed by the same sign?
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.193
So on a vote of 13 to
zero, the motion carries.
00:50:04.060 --> 00:50:05.480
Ms. Cargill?
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:06.946
Buried in our emails somewhere.
00:50:06.946 --> 00:50:11.220
Have we been set the updated roll text?
00:50:11.220 --> 00:50:12.500
Yes. Ma'am that's
what I just said.
00:50:12.500 --> 00:50:14.700
If you open your minutes from--
00:50:14.700 --> 00:50:15.780
Oh, it's in the minutes?
00:50:15.780 --> 00:50:20.163
The meeting of the
full board from the ninth,
00:50:21.650 --> 00:50:25.170
September 9th, go to
the end of that document,
00:50:25.170 --> 00:50:28.130
Attachment A is the science roll text?
00:50:28.130 --> 00:50:31.020
I will note that is the only
rule text we were able to get
00:50:31.020 --> 00:50:34.043
done for you, but you do have it.
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:37.447
You good, Ms. Cargill?
00:50:37.447 --> 00:50:39.340
Thank you
Okay.
00:50:39.340 --> 00:50:41.330
So we move, move to item number four,
00:50:41.330 --> 00:50:45.070
which is proposed new
19 TAC Chapter 1-16 Texas
00:50:45.070 --> 00:50:47.569
Essential Knowledge and
Skills for Physical Education,
00:50:47.569 --> 00:50:51.980
Subchapter A, Elementary,
1-16.1-11 to 1-16.17.
00:50:51.980 --> 00:50:56.330
Subchapter B Middle
School, 1-16.25 to 1-16.28.
00:50:56.330 --> 00:51:00.740
And Subchapter C High
School, 1-16.61 through 1-16.64.
00:51:02.070 --> 00:51:04.510
This is first reading
and filing authorization.
00:51:04.510 --> 00:51:07.670
It is on page I.32 of your agenda.
00:51:07.670 --> 00:51:09.270
And I'll turn it over to Mr. Rowley.
00:51:09.270 --> 00:51:10.670
Thank you, Mr. Chair,
the committee,
00:51:10.670 --> 00:51:13.170
the full board recommends
that the State Board of Education
00:51:13.170 --> 00:51:15.810
approved for first reading
and filing authorization
00:51:15.810 --> 00:51:19.930
proposed new 19 TAC
Chapter 1-16 Texas Essential
00:51:19.930 --> 00:51:23.370
Knowledge and Skills for
Physical Education Subchapter A,
00:51:23.370 --> 00:51:28.370
elementary section 1-16.11 dash 1-16.17.
00:51:28.530 --> 00:51:33.530
Subchapter B, middle-school
sections 1-16.25 dash 1-16.28
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:40.950
and subtext or C high
school sections 1-16.61
00:51:40.950 --> 00:51:43.553
dash 1-16.64 as amended.
00:51:45.630 --> 00:51:47.210
We have a motion and a second.
00:51:47.210 --> 00:51:49.019
Mr. Chair?
Yes, Ma'am.
00:51:49.019 --> 00:51:51.240
We received an email
yesterday from one
00:51:51.240 --> 00:51:55.223
of your content advisors
whose sharp eyes caught
00:51:55.223 --> 00:51:58.280
that we inadvertently left
out a student expectation
00:51:58.280 --> 00:51:59.817
that had been recommended.
00:51:59.817 --> 00:52:00.650
Okay.
00:52:00.650 --> 00:52:04.890
So if the board would
wish to consider adding
00:52:04.890 --> 00:52:07.183
that student expectation to grade four,
00:52:08.900 --> 00:52:13.470
it is supposed to be 9-B as in boy,
00:52:13.470 --> 00:52:17.330
and it reads, "Track
progress and analyze data for
00:52:17.330 --> 00:52:19.677
health-related fitness activities."
00:52:21.290 --> 00:52:22.284
We have a motion.
00:52:22.284 --> 00:52:23.610
Do we have a second?
00:52:23.610 --> 00:52:25.590
Motion and second, is
there any further discussion
00:52:25.590 --> 00:52:26.423
on the item?
00:52:27.740 --> 00:52:30.260
Is there any objection, hearing none.
00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:31.730
The motion passes.
00:52:31.730 --> 00:52:32.733
Thank you for that.
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.550
Alright, so we're back to
the main motion, correct?
00:52:41.100 --> 00:52:41.970
Members any other questions?
00:52:41.970 --> 00:52:43.743
Or are we ready to take the vote?
00:52:46.180 --> 00:52:48.540
All right, I would to
ask all those in favor,
00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:49.690
please raise your hand.
00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:01.053
All opposed, raise your hand.
00:53:02.100 --> 00:53:04.993
Motion carries by a vote of 13 to zero.
00:53:06.040 --> 00:53:08.530
So there is a majority in favor
00:53:08.530 --> 00:53:10.303
and the recommendation is adopted.
00:53:15.710 --> 00:53:18.300
Alright, next on the
agenda is item number five.
00:53:18.300 --> 00:53:21.880
Do I need to go ahead
and read the item title?
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:22.740
Okay.
00:53:22.740 --> 00:53:26.880
Item five this proposed new
19 TAC, 1-15 Texas Essential
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:28.470
Knowledge and Skills
for Health Education,
00:53:28.470 --> 00:53:33.423
Subchapter A elementary,
1-15.11 through 1-15.17,
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:38.430
Subchapter B middle
school, 1-1525 through 1-15.28
00:53:38.430 --> 00:53:43.100
and Subchapter C high
school, 1-15.37 to 1-15.39.
00:53:43.100 --> 00:53:45.500
It says first reading
and filing authorization.
00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:48.950
It's on page I.83, but
I'm gonna ask Mr. Rowley
00:53:48.950 --> 00:53:50.290
to make a motion.
00:53:50.290 --> 00:53:51.123
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
00:53:51.123 --> 00:53:53.010
I moved to postpone
further consideration
00:53:53.010 --> 00:53:57.493
of this item to the last
item on the agenda.
00:53:58.563 --> 00:53:59.930
A motion and a second.
00:53:59.930 --> 00:54:03.853
Is there any objection
hearing none, so moved.
00:54:07.449 --> 00:54:08.680
(coughs)
00:54:08.680 --> 00:54:10.440
All right, on the
Committee of Instruction,
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:12.490
there should be no recommendations made
00:54:12.490 --> 00:54:14.840
from the Committee of Instructions.
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:18.260
On the Committee on School
Finance, permanent school fund.
00:54:18.260 --> 00:54:20.670
There should be no
recommendations, that will move us
00:54:20.670 --> 00:54:24.130
to the Committee on School
Initiatives, which is item
00:54:24.130 --> 00:54:26.890
number six, a review of
proposed amendments
00:54:26.890 --> 00:54:31.310
to 19 TAC Chapter 2-27,
Provisions for Educator
00:54:31.310 --> 00:54:33.480
Preparation Candidate Subchapter A,
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:36.090
Admission to Educator Prep Programs.
00:54:36.090 --> 00:54:40.947
And it's on agenda four
dash one, Ms. Cargill.
00:54:43.100 --> 00:54:46.600
Yes, and you also in
the minutes that staff sent,
00:54:46.600 --> 00:54:49.320
there's a Committee on
School Initiatives document
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:51.010
that you can open to follow along.
00:54:51.010 --> 00:54:54.990
So all of these items
basically are bringing
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:02.380
what is in statute up
to bringing it updated.
00:55:02.380 --> 00:55:04.470
So bringing educator
prep programs, et cetera,
00:55:04.470 --> 00:55:06.160
up to date with what's in statute
00:55:06.160 --> 00:55:07.820
is what I'm trying to spit out.
00:55:07.820 --> 00:55:11.900
So, all right, the first one, it
was moved by the Committee
00:55:11.900 --> 00:55:15.161
on School Initiatives to that
the State Board of Education
00:55:15.161 --> 00:55:19.160
take no action on the proposed
amendments to 19 TAC
00:55:19.160 --> 00:55:23.720
Chapter 227 Provisions for
Educator Preparation Candidates,
00:55:23.720 --> 00:55:27.743
Subchapter, A, Admission to
Educator Preparation Programs.
00:55:29.330 --> 00:55:32.310
Okay, members,
are there any questions?
00:55:32.310 --> 00:55:34.233
Are there any objections?
00:55:35.630 --> 00:55:36.463
Hearing none.
00:55:36.463 --> 00:55:37.630
The motion carries.
00:55:37.630 --> 00:55:38.463
All right.
00:55:38.463 --> 00:55:42.750
The second motion that
we recommend to the State
00:55:42.750 --> 00:55:45.460
Board of Education is to take no action
00:55:45.460 --> 00:55:49.800
on proposed amendments
to 19 TAC Chapter two 28,
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:52.793
Requirements for Educator
Preparation Programs.
00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:58.853
Alright, and that is
on your agenda on 4-20.
00:56:03.204 --> 00:56:07.770
Is there any questions
on the side of Ms. Hardy.
00:56:07.770 --> 00:56:10.213
The
rationale for taking no action?
00:56:11.112 --> 00:56:16.112
Because this is
bringing the Chapter 2-28
00:56:17.410 --> 00:56:19.790
making it current with statute.
00:56:19.790 --> 00:56:20.623
Okay.
So.
00:56:23.720 --> 00:56:25.013
Any other questions?
00:56:25.890 --> 00:56:27.457
So we agree with what SBED did,
00:56:27.457 --> 00:56:29.590
basically by taking no action.
00:56:29.590 --> 00:56:30.423
Correct.
00:56:31.740 --> 00:56:33.783
Okay, members, is there any objection?
00:56:35.900 --> 00:56:36.733
Hearing none.
00:56:36.733 --> 00:56:39.463
The motion carries and the
recommendation is adopted.
00:56:40.374 --> 00:56:44.360
Okay. The next one is on
page 4-50 in your agenda
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:45.930
or page two of the minutes.
00:56:45.930 --> 00:56:49.289
It is moved that the State
Board of Education take no action
00:56:49.289 --> 00:56:53.380

00:56:53.380 --> 00:56:56.440
Requirements for Educator
Preparation Programs,
00:56:56.440 --> 00:56:59.153

00:57:01.443 --> 00:57:04.123

00:57:06.970 --> 00:57:08.563

00:59:01.820 --> 00:59:03.020
for the most part.
00:59:03.020 --> 00:59:04.692
