WEBVTT
00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:09.790
Right members, if
we can come together.
00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:19.080
All right, I wanna welcome everyone
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:22.400
to the November 19th, 2021 meeting
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.543
of the Texas State Board of Education.
00:00:24.543 --> 00:00:26.010
We have a beautiful day here.
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:28.820
We actually have a lot
of old friends in the room
00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:31.390
for a future item that we
have coming up on the agenda
00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:32.300
that we will get to.
00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:34.880
So it's great to see everybody here
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.960
and I wanna thank
everyone for their presence
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.960
and all the work that has
gotten us to this point this week.
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.330
First of all, what I'm gonna do
00:00:43.330 --> 00:00:46.630
is I'm gonna thank Ms. Hardy
00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:48.530
for bringing the student
performance to us.
00:00:48.530 --> 00:00:50.213
So at this point in time,
00:00:50.213 --> 00:00:52.420
I'm gonna call on
this Hardy to introduce
00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:53.733
our student performance.
00:01:04.882 --> 00:01:08.549
(man speaking indistinctly)
00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:11.720
Good morning.
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:16.720
It is my honor, and truly
an honor to be able to invite
00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:19.160
two high schools from my district.
00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:21.280
And they are in the same district.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.330
This is Grapevine-Colleyville
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:25.810
and then, right behind high school,
00:01:25.810 --> 00:01:27.830
then Colleyville Heritage High School.
00:01:27.830 --> 00:01:31.287
And I think it is wonderful
that two schools work together
00:01:31.287 --> 00:01:32.850
and their directors work together
00:01:32.850 --> 00:01:35.540
and that they each will be performing
00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.630
and then they will do
a joint performance.
00:01:38.630 --> 00:01:41.580
But one of the things that's
real important about this
00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:46.580
is that we've got a lot of
district and parental support.
00:01:46.940 --> 00:01:50.080
This is one of the
first times in two years
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:52.600
that we've had a live performance.
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:56.370
And nothing beats
hearing them in person.
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:57.950
But I think nothing for this group,
00:01:57.950 --> 00:02:00.910
beats seeing them in person
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:04.690
'cause they all look so
sharp in their black outfits.
00:02:04.690 --> 00:02:06.873
It's good to see everyone dressed up.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.080
I want to introduce to
you under leadership
00:02:13.161 --> 00:02:16.220
of Dr. Paul Sykes, is
the director of fine arts
00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:18.510
at Grapevine-Colleyville ISD.
00:02:18.510 --> 00:02:19.653
Dr. Sykes.
00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:21.363
Where is he?
00:02:21.363 --> 00:02:22.850
Okay, Dr. Sykes, we're glad
00:02:22.850 --> 00:02:25.690
you were able to
organize this whole thing.
00:02:25.690 --> 00:02:27.890
And the director, Pauline Sexton,
00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:31.130
who is the director of choirs
for Grapevine High School
00:02:31.130 --> 00:02:33.690
and Kimberly McConnell,
director of choirs
00:02:33.690 --> 00:02:35.570
for Colleyville Heritage High School.
00:02:35.570 --> 00:02:39.010
So, it's yours.
00:02:39.010 --> 00:02:39.843
Thank you.
00:02:41.105 --> 00:02:42.723
We're going to sing
the national anthem,
00:02:42.723 --> 00:02:44.390
if you want to rise.

Thank you so much for letting
us be here today to perform
00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:37.360
just some other amazing
songs we've been preparing
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.670
in the GCISD choir programs.
00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:41.630
We really hope that
these songs encourage you
00:04:41.630 --> 00:04:43.860
as these are about your important work.
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:45.900
My name is Kate
McDonald and I am president
00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:47.810
of the Grapevine High School Choir.
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.500
Our first song that we will sing today
00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:52.120
is Ad Astra by Jacob Narverud.
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.730
This song is in a Latin text
00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:56.220
and translated means to the stars.
00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:59.547
Look forward, look upward,
leave all cares behind.
00:05:05.005 --> 00:05:07.422

00:08:07.111 --> 00:08:09.361
(applause)
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:16.213
Hello.
00:08:16.213 --> 00:08:18.480

00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.810
at Grapevine High School.
00:08:19.810 --> 00:08:20.980
Over the past year and a half,
00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:24.280
the GCIC choir programs have
persevered in making music.
00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:26.730
Finally, having in-person
concerts face-to-face
00:08:26.730 --> 00:08:29.610
and not over a screen feels
like the dawning of a new age
00:08:29.610 --> 00:08:30.990
with the clearest of skies.
00:08:30.990 --> 00:08:33.540
And now, the song
that signifies those skies,
00:08:33.540 --> 00:08:37.730
those clear skies and
shows brighter days ahead.
00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:42.730
Here is The Storm Is Passing
Over by Charles Tindley
00:08:42.730 --> 00:08:44.030
arranged by Barbara Baker.

Well, good morning.
00:11:57.493 --> 00:11:59.000
My name is Ryan Barilla
and I'm the president
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.100
of the Colleyville
Heritage Panther Choirs.
00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:03.370
What a joy and a privilege it
is to share our performance
00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:04.790
with you this morning.
00:12:04.790 --> 00:12:07.240
Now, although our two schools
are Crosstown football rivals,
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.890
I love the fact that
we're able to join together
00:12:08.890 --> 00:12:10.440
on the stage as one.
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.675
The next part you'll see
00:12:11.675 --> 00:12:13.370
is the Colleyville
Heritage chamber choir,
00:12:13.370 --> 00:12:14.480
who will be performing Cantate Domino,
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.782
which is a joyful celebration of unity.
00:12:16.782 --> 00:12:17.615
Enjoy.
00:12:28.630 --> 00:12:31.547
("Cantate Domino")
00:12:36.111 --> 00:12:39.528

00:15:30.450 --> 00:15:33.400
Hello, my name is Lauren
Abel and I'm vice president

00:15:35.750 --> 00:15:38.210
This next song will be
performed by the Panther Corral
00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:39.720
from Colleyville Heritage.
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.320
We will be singing (indistinct).
00:15:42.178 --> 00:15:45.410
(indistinct) is a song that
represents the advent of hope.
00:15:45.410 --> 00:15:49.410
It involves that dormant
of peace coming to life
00:15:49.410 --> 00:15:50.813
and returning to peace.
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.252
(choir singing in foreign language)
00:21:23.620 --> 00:21:25.520
Hello, my
name is Alex Homer.
00:21:26.794 --> 00:21:28.610
And I am Autumn Hordy.
00:21:28.610 --> 00:21:29.980
We're the senior representatives
00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:32.810
of the Colleyville
Heritage Panther Choirs.
00:21:32.810 --> 00:21:34.950
The opportunity to come
down and sing for y'all
00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:36.870
here in Austin is truly an honor.
00:21:36.870 --> 00:21:38.790
And will definitely be a
highlight of our school year
00:21:38.790 --> 00:21:40.063
for both of our programs.
00:21:41.570 --> 00:21:44.420
It's such a great opportunity
to be able to come here
00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:47.210
and perform for y'all so we
thank you very much for that.
00:21:47.210 --> 00:21:50.060
After our limited time of
performance and travel,
00:21:50.060 --> 00:21:52.630
even just a charter bus
ride like we had yesterday
00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:55.463
can create some of the
best memories and moments.
00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:58.680
Our closing
song is Sisi ni moja
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.080
which is translated as We Are One.
00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:02.920
Together, the Grapevine High School
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:07.480
and CHHS choirs will sing in unison.
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.573
Here we stand.
00:22:12.510 --> 00:22:15.010
Now we stand here together
and let their hearts and song
00:22:15.010 --> 00:22:17.630
to the rhythm of this
moment in our lives.
00:22:17.630 --> 00:22:19.170
And moments do have rhythm.
00:22:19.170 --> 00:22:22.210
While we all breathe
the same and walk along
00:22:22.210 --> 00:22:23.773
the same path to our life.
00:22:24.890 --> 00:22:26.103

(applause)
00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:59.340
This was definitely
worth the two-year wait
00:26:59.340 --> 00:27:00.580
to hear someone in person.
00:27:00.580 --> 00:27:01.980
You were fantastic.
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.440
Thank you very much.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.630
We so appreciate that.
00:27:04.630 --> 00:27:08.220
I did not recognize
the people who are here
00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:09.750
from Grapevine Colleyville.
00:27:09.750 --> 00:27:12.560
We have Mr. Alex Fingers, the principal
00:27:12.560 --> 00:27:14.360
at Grapevine High School.
00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:16.397
Would you please stand wherever you are?
00:27:16.397 --> 00:27:17.980
I mentioned he's
in Colleyville (indistinct).
00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:18.813
Okay.
00:27:18.813 --> 00:27:20.863
What about Dave Denning?
00:27:23.290 --> 00:27:24.790
They're busy people.
00:27:24.790 --> 00:27:26.680
And we have Dr. Schnautz
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.710
who is the deputy superintendent.
00:27:28.710 --> 00:27:31.370
And Robin Ryan, who
is the superintendent.
00:27:31.370 --> 00:27:34.080
And those guys really
need to be recognized
00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:37.760
for this job because they
got all these kids down here.
00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:40.210
They're spent the night in a hotel.
00:27:40.210 --> 00:27:44.700
And today, after this
performance, which was fantastic,
00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:47.880
they are going to go
over to the Capitol rotunda
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.360
and sing in the rotunda.
00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:51.920
If we can get off, we might
go over there and listen to you
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.310
'cause can you imagine in the rotunda?
00:27:54.310 --> 00:27:57.870
But also for the fact that
they're gonna get to tour
00:27:57.870 --> 00:27:59.710
as a social studies teacher,
00:27:59.710 --> 00:28:01.540
they're getting to tour the Capitol.
00:28:01.540 --> 00:28:02.420
And raise your hand
00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:04.420
if you've never seen the Capitol before.
00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.580
Isn't this great?
00:28:06.580 --> 00:28:08.170
And it wouldn't have happened
00:28:08.170 --> 00:28:11.020
were it not for the
superintendent, Robin Ryan.
00:28:11.020 --> 00:28:13.440
So Dr. Ryan, we really do appreciate you
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.470
doing that and thinking of the kids
00:28:15.470 --> 00:28:17.110
as an overall experience.
00:28:17.110 --> 00:28:19.850
Because we know that
music brings them together
00:28:19.850 --> 00:28:21.760
and they've had a wonderful time,
00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:23.450
even though they haven't
been able to perform,
00:28:23.450 --> 00:28:25.360
but it's certainly nicer
to be able to perform
00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:26.890
and work together for a performance.
00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:29.286
So again, thank you.
00:28:29.286 --> 00:28:31.536
(applause)
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.020
I just thank you all so much
for the beautiful performance
00:28:38.020 --> 00:28:42.290
and the last song
really spoke to my heart
00:28:42.290 --> 00:28:44.210
and I appreciate the message
00:28:44.210 --> 00:28:47.560
that that last song
brought to this body.
00:28:47.560 --> 00:28:49.590
And I would be remiss
if I didn't acknowledge
00:28:49.590 --> 00:28:52.290
your former principal,
Dr. James Whitfield.
00:28:52.290 --> 00:28:55.300
Because he embodies what
that last message meant.
00:28:55.300 --> 00:28:56.133
Thank you.
00:28:57.732 --> 00:28:59.982
(applause)
00:29:07.050 --> 00:29:10.280
And we thank y'all very,
very much for everything.
00:29:11.743 --> 00:29:13.993
(applause)
00:29:42.329 --> 00:29:44.579
(chatter)
00:32:03.530 --> 00:32:04.640
Members, we'll
come back together.
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.600
I wanna say what an
incredible performance that was
00:32:07.600 --> 00:32:08.760
by the Grapevine-Colleyville,
00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:12.320
combined high school choir
from Grapevine Colleyville ISD.
00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:15.080
As was mentioned earlier about
some of the other presenters,
00:32:15.080 --> 00:32:18.890
it's been a long time since
we've had students in the room
00:32:18.890 --> 00:32:19.910
presenting to us.
00:32:19.910 --> 00:32:22.920
It's always, I think everyone,
I'll speak for everyone.
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.160
It's probably the highlight
of everyone's week
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:28.660
that we're able to have such
inspirational performances.
00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:31.470
And it truly reminds
us of why we're here.
00:32:31.470 --> 00:32:34.090
All the work we've done all
week is for those individuals
00:32:34.090 --> 00:32:35.770
that were just here with us today.
00:32:35.770 --> 00:32:37.070
So I know they've left the room already,
00:32:37.070 --> 00:32:40.690
but one more shout out
to the great that they did.
00:32:40.690 --> 00:32:46.480
At this point in time, I
believe it's Dr. Johnson.
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.330
And we were gonna have
Dr. Johnson bring the invocation
00:32:49.330 --> 00:32:50.863
and lead us in the pledges.
00:32:53.730 --> 00:32:54.563
Let us pray.
00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:57.607
Heavenly father, thank you for today
00:32:57.607 --> 00:33:00.373
and the many blessings
you give us every day.
00:33:01.360 --> 00:33:05.140
Thank you for the opportunity
to serve you in our state
00:33:05.140 --> 00:33:06.513
as members of this board.
00:33:07.470 --> 00:33:09.650
Give us wisdom and discernment
00:33:09.650 --> 00:33:13.160
as we discuss and make
decisions affecting the students
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.183
and educators of Texas.
00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:17.410
As you tell us in Luke,
00:33:17.410 --> 00:33:19.810
it would be better for
us to have a millstone
00:33:19.810 --> 00:33:23.340
hung around our neck
and be cast into the sea
00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:26.170
than to cause one of
these children to stumble.
00:33:26.170 --> 00:33:29.135
I pray that we make no
decisions that could cause
00:33:29.135 --> 00:33:30.260
any of these young lives
00:33:30.260 --> 00:33:33.463
you have entrusted us with to stumble.
00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:36.600
Thank you for the chance to serve
00:33:36.600 --> 00:33:38.333
and bless everything we do today.
00:33:39.610 --> 00:33:41.680
In Jesus Christ name, I pray.
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:42.513
Amen.
00:33:47.140 --> 00:33:49.620
I pledge
allegiance to the flag
00:33:49.620 --> 00:33:52.020
of the United States of America,
00:33:52.020 --> 00:33:54.910
and to the republic for which it stands,
00:33:54.910 --> 00:33:58.310
one nation under God, indivisible,
00:33:58.310 --> 00:34:00.563
with liberty and justice for all.
00:34:02.510 --> 00:34:04.740
Honor of the Texas flag.
00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:07.650
I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas,
00:34:07.650 --> 00:34:11.403
one state under God,
one and indivisible.
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.203
Thank you, Dr. Johnson.
00:34:17.100 --> 00:34:18.170
All right, at this point in time,
00:34:18.170 --> 00:34:19.770
I'll ask Steph to call the roll.
00:34:29.210 --> 00:34:30.260
Dr. Ellis.
Here.
00:34:31.140 --> 00:34:32.953
Ms. Perez.
Present.
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:36.550
Mr. Hickman.
Here.
00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:40.163
Dr. Robinson.
Here.
00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:43.343
Dr. Young.
Here.
00:34:44.220 --> 00:34:46.170
Mr. Maynard.
Here.
00:34:46.170 --> 00:34:47.533
Ms. Hardy.
Here.
00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:50.653
Ms. Davis.
Here.
00:34:52.650 --> 00:34:55.230
Mrs. Melton-Malone.
Here.
00:34:55.230 --> 00:34:57.693
Dr. Johnson.
Here.
00:34:58.750 --> 00:35:00.393
Mr. Cortez.
Here.
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:02.683
Mrs. Perez-Diaz.
00:35:07.318 --> 00:35:08.157
(man speaking indistinctly)
00:35:08.157 --> 00:35:10.350
Okay, she's here.
00:35:10.350 --> 00:35:12.073
Mr. Allen.
Present.
00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:15.300
Dr. Bell-Metereau.
00:35:17.759 --> 00:35:18.592
I think she's (indistinct).
00:35:19.990 --> 00:35:21.783
Mrs. Little.
Here.
00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:27.930
Thank you and Yolanda,
a quorum is present.
00:35:28.802 --> 00:35:29.890
The first business to be considered
00:35:29.890 --> 00:35:31.090
is the approval of the minutes
00:35:31.090 --> 00:35:32.410
of the State Board of Education meeting
00:35:32.410 --> 00:35:34.860
from September 3rd, 2021.
00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:37.460
Members, are there any
corrections to these minutes?
00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:40.680
Hearing none, there are no corrections
00:35:40.680 --> 00:35:42.130
and the minutes are approved.
00:35:43.060 --> 00:35:46.690
I need to make a special
announcement, members.
00:35:46.690 --> 00:35:49.440
Steph inadvertently left
proposed New 19 TAC
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.300
Chapter 112 Subchapter A, elementary
00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:54.625
and Subchapter B, middle school
00:35:54.625 --> 00:35:56.850
off the State Board of Education
agenda in the open meeting.
00:35:56.850 --> 00:35:57.920
Notice, consequently,
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:00.697
we're not posted to take
action on that item today.
00:36:00.697 --> 00:36:02.690
and we will need to
post for a special meeting
00:36:02.690 --> 00:36:05.060
to take final action on this item.
00:36:05.060 --> 00:36:06.330
Since the Committee of the Full Board
00:36:06.330 --> 00:36:07.780
did not complete consideration
00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:11.160
of all proposed amendments
to this item on Wednesday,
00:36:11.160 --> 00:36:12.410
I propose that we adjourn
00:36:12.410 --> 00:36:13.900
the State Board of Education meeting,
00:36:13.900 --> 00:36:16.400
following resolutions in presentations,
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:18.530
to convene as a committee
to the full board and dispose
00:36:18.530 --> 00:36:20.260
of any outstanding amendments.
00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:22.520
This would include all proposed
amendment staff received
00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:23.793
by noon yesterday.
00:36:25.560 --> 00:36:27.110
Is there any questions on that?
00:36:28.780 --> 00:36:29.613
Mr. Hickman?
00:36:30.450 --> 00:36:32.963
We will proceed with CTE
00:36:32.963 --> 00:36:34.530
and all the other items?
00:36:34.530 --> 00:36:35.583
This is only science?
00:36:37.610 --> 00:36:39.110
Correct.
Okay, thank you.
00:36:42.169 --> 00:36:43.413
Any other questions, members?
00:36:46.220 --> 00:36:47.370
The next business in order
00:36:47.370 --> 00:36:48.810
is a presentation of the resolutions.
00:36:48.810 --> 00:36:51.900
Ms. Perez, please
present the resolution.
00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:53.320
Good morning.
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:54.700
Today, we have one resolution.
00:36:54.700 --> 00:36:57.480
We'll be recognizing the
Presidential Awards for Excellence
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.780
in Mathematics and Science teachers.
00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:03.290
Whereas the Presidential
Awards for Excellence
00:37:03.290 --> 00:37:05.170
in Mathematics and
Science Teaching Program
00:37:05.170 --> 00:37:08.460
identifies outstanding
mathematics and science teachers
00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:11.320
in each state and the
four US jurisdictions.
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:14.170
And whereas the state
selection committees
00:37:14.170 --> 00:37:16.830
three mathematic finalists
and three science finalists
00:37:16.830 --> 00:37:20.120
were selected as Texas finalists.
00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:22.280
Whereas these teachers
have become candidates
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.870
for the Presidential
Awards for Excellence
00:37:23.870 --> 00:37:25.660
in Mathematics and Science teaching.
00:37:25.660 --> 00:37:27.800
Now, therefore it be resolved
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:28.990
that the State Board of Education
00:37:28.990 --> 00:37:31.360
does hereby extend its congratulations
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.660
to Amber Bialorucki of
Tomball Memorial High School,
00:37:34.660 --> 00:37:38.020

And be it further resolved
that this resolution be presented
00:38:35.210 --> 00:38:38.380

And that a copy of this be
included in the permanent records
00:38:49.150 --> 00:38:51.440
of the State Board of Education.
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:56.020
Witness our signatures, this
19th day of November, 2021.
00:38:56.020 --> 00:38:58.120
Dr. Keven Ellis, our chair
00:38:58.120 --> 00:39:00.640
and Georgina Perez, your secretary.
00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:01.993
Congratulations.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:16.080
Next, I would like to introduce
you all to Mr. Eric Hale.
00:39:16.080 --> 00:39:17.543
If you would join me please.
00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:28.940
Mr. Hale is our Elementary
Teacher of the Year.
00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:32.100
Not only is he our Elementary
Teacher of the Year,
00:39:32.100 --> 00:39:36.710
he is the first black man
to be a finalist in Texas
00:39:36.710 --> 00:39:37.750
for teacher of the year.
00:39:37.750 --> 00:39:40.110
And that makes him the first black male
00:39:40.110 --> 00:39:42.163
Texas Teacher of the Year.
00:39:43.041 --> 00:39:45.291
(applause)
00:39:48.520 --> 00:39:53.120
Additionally, Mr. Hale was just informed
00:39:53.120 --> 00:39:57.190
as the rest of us were
just informed this week,
00:39:57.190 --> 00:39:59.340
Mr. Hale has been selected as a finalist
00:39:59.340 --> 00:40:02.730
for the National
University Teacher Award.
00:40:02.730 --> 00:40:03.970
(applause)
00:40:03.970 --> 00:40:08.040
There are only five
teachers in the United States
00:40:08.040 --> 00:40:10.238
who have moved to the finals.
00:40:10.238 --> 00:40:11.460
He is one of five.
00:40:11.460 --> 00:40:14.638
And he's representing
the Southwest region.
00:40:14.638 --> 00:40:18.890
He is awarded $10,000
for making the finalist list.
00:40:18.890 --> 00:40:20.533
He now moves on.
00:40:21.970 --> 00:40:24.930
He now moves on to the national level
00:40:24.930 --> 00:40:26.140
where if he were to win,
00:40:26.140 --> 00:40:28.720
which of course he'll win
'cause he's from Texas.
00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:33.450
And if he were to win, he
will receive a $50,000 award.
00:40:33.450 --> 00:40:35.800
(applause)
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.633
Congratulations.
00:40:37.870 --> 00:40:39.620
Thank you so much.
00:40:42.910 --> 00:40:46.267
Mr. Hale, it is my honor
to present this to you
00:40:46.267 --> 00:40:48.870
and I am so proud that
you are from district 12,
00:40:48.870 --> 00:40:51.430
which is in North Texas.
00:40:51.430 --> 00:40:53.510
I also want you to know that he teaches
00:40:53.510 --> 00:40:56.110
first and second grade
00:40:56.110 --> 00:40:58.680
and you know how much
patience it takes to do that.
00:40:58.680 --> 00:41:02.800
So we are extremely honored
to have him here with us today.
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:05.890
And I am honored to present this to you.
00:41:05.890 --> 00:41:06.723
Thank you.
00:41:06.723 --> 00:41:07.556
(applause)
00:41:07.556 --> 00:41:08.657
And I wish we had more like you.
00:41:17.170 --> 00:41:19.500
First, I wanna say
thank you for your time
00:41:19.500 --> 00:41:21.400
and to be respectful.
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:24.750
I am the 2021 State Teacher of the Year.
00:41:24.750 --> 00:41:29.750
We have chosen a new winner for 2022,
00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:33.430
a wonderful gentleman that you'll meet,
00:41:33.430 --> 00:41:34.800
that's out of El Paso.
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.693
So respect to him and his moment.
00:41:39.170 --> 00:41:42.497
I am here representing Dallas ISD.
00:41:43.390 --> 00:41:45.410
I'm here most importantly,
00:41:45.410 --> 00:41:47.160
representing the school that I serve
00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:48.929
and I'm proud to serve at,
00:41:48.929 --> 00:41:50.780
which is David G.
Burnet Elementary School.
00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:54.950
The children I serve
come from dire straits.
00:41:54.950 --> 00:41:58.510
We are in the red light
district off of Harry Hines.
00:41:58.510 --> 00:42:02.630
We are 98% disadvantaged.
00:42:02.630 --> 00:42:04.730
Not only have they dealt with ice raids
00:42:04.730 --> 00:42:06.030
in the last five years,
00:42:06.030 --> 00:42:08.350
we went from ice raids to being affected
00:42:08.350 --> 00:42:11.080
by the F3 tornado that you
guys remember two years ago.
00:42:11.080 --> 00:42:12.830
That also hit our school.
00:42:12.830 --> 00:42:16.293
And so then from that, we
jumped right into a pandemic.
00:42:17.300 --> 00:42:22.170
And but before that, we
are a school in a community
00:42:22.170 --> 00:42:25.333
that has been
generationally underserved.
00:42:26.410 --> 00:42:30.720
And so I know that intimately
because of my childhood.
00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:33.730
And so I represent and
stand on the shoulders
00:42:33.730 --> 00:42:38.540
of great educators of all
color that took the time to fight
00:42:38.540 --> 00:42:40.980
for what I call the tribe of if.
00:42:40.980 --> 00:42:44.216
These are the children
that if they had more love
00:42:44.216 --> 00:42:45.049
or if they had more resources
00:42:45.049 --> 00:42:48.860
or if they came from two-parent
homes, what they could be?
00:42:48.860 --> 00:42:51.320
So I stand before you in this example
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:55.123
for you never to forget
children who are not your own.
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.140
The reason why we
cannot cure society's ills
00:43:00.140 --> 00:43:03.683
is because we refuse
to cultivate all the fields.
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:09.800
The children that I serve
have the cure for cancer.
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:11.850
They have the cure for AIDS.
00:43:11.850 --> 00:43:14.534
We are just not investing in their minds
00:43:14.534 --> 00:43:16.020
and in their talents.
00:43:16.020 --> 00:43:18.480
Not that every child will be a diamond
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:19.973
or will be a negative goal,
00:43:20.970 --> 00:43:24.113
but a Sapphire shines just as bright.
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:28.700
And so I challenge
you when you're up here
00:43:28.700 --> 00:43:32.020
making decisions that
affect all the children
00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:35.660
to think of the children
in the state of Texas
00:43:35.660 --> 00:43:40.260
is all or ours.
00:43:40.260 --> 00:43:42.190
Net them, that they.
00:43:42.190 --> 00:43:47.190
If there's ever an issue
that should not be politicized,
00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:49.530
it should be education.
00:43:50.950 --> 00:43:53.810
There are good people
on both sides of the aisle.
00:43:53.810 --> 00:43:56.210
And we need to keep the
main thing the main thing.
00:43:56.210 --> 00:43:59.290
And what your personal
why is to help the children
00:43:59.290 --> 00:44:00.923
of the great state of Texas.
00:44:02.600 --> 00:44:06.250
'Cause you don't know
who you are investing in.
00:44:06.250 --> 00:44:07.853
And I'm an example of that.
00:44:09.160 --> 00:44:13.323
I applaud the efforts that you do daily,
00:44:14.820 --> 00:44:19.333
but I am begging you on behalf
of teachers across the state.
00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:22.560
Continue to let us teach in truth.
00:44:26.090 --> 00:44:29.850
Now more than ever, a good educator
00:44:30.730 --> 00:44:32.543
needs to be fluid like water.
00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:36.617
Water can be soft as a
feather when it needs to be.
00:44:36.617 --> 00:44:39.940
And it could be as rigid
in his heart is a brick wall
00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:41.290
when it needs to be.
00:44:41.290 --> 00:44:45.440
And we need that flexibility
to reach and engage
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:48.113
all the minds of all the students.
00:44:49.160 --> 00:44:52.850
So I would like you to think
about these three things.
00:44:52.850 --> 00:44:55.960
One, use the power
that you have to advocate
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:57.083
for all students.
00:44:58.050 --> 00:45:00.860
Secondly, hold yourself
and the people around you
00:45:00.860 --> 00:45:04.910
accountable for the
success of all the students.
00:45:04.910 --> 00:45:09.093
And lastly, step out in
action for all the students.
00:45:11.680 --> 00:45:12.723
This is a blessing.
00:45:14.120 --> 00:45:15.720
I never thought I would be here.
00:45:16.720 --> 00:45:21.720
I'm the first of my kind to
win this prestigious award,
00:45:23.010 --> 00:45:26.640
but I'm not the first child
to be abused growing up.
00:45:26.640 --> 00:45:28.340
I'm not the first shout to live
00:45:28.340 --> 00:45:30.080
in battered women's shelters.
00:45:30.080 --> 00:45:31.980
I'm not the first child that was failed
00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:33.480
through an educational system.
00:45:35.470 --> 00:45:37.733
And sadly, I won't be the last.
00:45:38.570 --> 00:45:43.570
But you in this room have
the power to change the world
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:46.950
by changing public school education,
00:45:46.950 --> 00:45:49.803
by changing education
for the children of Texas.
00:45:52.060 --> 00:45:53.543
And I'm just frankly,
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:58.250
looking forward to
seeing what you guys do.
00:45:58.250 --> 00:46:00.580
And thank you so much for your time.
00:46:00.580 --> 00:46:04.450
And thank you for honoring
me and honoring the children
00:46:04.450 --> 00:46:07.360
that I represent and that I
will continue to represent
00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:09.830
until the day I die.
00:46:09.830 --> 00:46:10.820
I salute you.
00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:12.450
Thank you for your time.
00:46:12.450 --> 00:46:14.700
(applause)
00:46:28.430 --> 00:46:30.760
Mr. Hale, we thank you so
much for being here today.
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:32.960
You're such an outstanding
example of what all
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:34.440
of our students need in their lives,
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.320
and we appreciate you
so much for your time,
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.623
effort and dedication
to the students of Texas.
00:46:53.580 --> 00:46:55.940
So one more time,
congratulations to all of those.
00:46:55.940 --> 00:46:57.440
And I would ask all those in favor
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.648
of adopting the resolution, say, aye.
00:47:00.648 --> 00:47:01.630
Aye.
00:47:01.630 --> 00:47:03.393
The resolution is adopted.
00:47:04.420 --> 00:47:07.210
At this point in time. I'm
gonna call on Ms. Martinez
00:47:07.210 --> 00:47:08.520
for a special introduction.
00:47:08.520 --> 00:47:11.068
I think we'll have a little
break here in just a minute
00:47:11.068 --> 00:47:11.901
and board members, I wanna remind you,
00:47:11.901 --> 00:47:13.802
there's some additional information
00:47:13.802 --> 00:47:14.860
in your mailboxes in the break room.
00:47:14.860 --> 00:47:18.580
When we have a time to take
a break, make sure you get that.
00:47:18.580 --> 00:47:20.863
But at this point in time, Ms. Martinez.
00:47:21.850 --> 00:47:23.310
Thank you, Chairman.
00:47:23.310 --> 00:47:27.770
It is my distinct honor this morning,
00:47:27.770 --> 00:47:31.400
to be able to back into the room,
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:34.210
former Commissioner Michael Williams.
00:47:34.210 --> 00:47:37.380
I also just wanna take
a moment to welcome
00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:39.910
all of my friends and colleagues back.
00:47:39.910 --> 00:47:42.060
I will say on their behalf,
00:47:42.060 --> 00:47:44.730
you see all the folks that are
standing in that back corner,
00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:49.450
we were all very lucky to
have the opportunity to serve
00:47:49.450 --> 00:47:53.933
under Commissioner
Williams from 2012 to 2015,
00:47:55.490 --> 00:47:58.750
we are beyond excited that we finally
00:47:58.750 --> 00:48:01.420
get to add his portrait.
00:48:01.420 --> 00:48:04.070
It's been a long time incoming.
00:48:04.070 --> 00:48:05.760
We wanna thank Julie Kapuscinski,
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.770
who couldn't be here
today for making it happen.
00:48:09.770 --> 00:48:13.920
But we are really excited to
be able to share his portrait
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:15.740
with you this morning.
00:48:15.740 --> 00:48:17.310
Commissioner Williams,
I would invite you
00:48:17.310 --> 00:48:22.310
to step back and share
your portrait with the group.
00:48:52.340 --> 00:48:53.350
And whenever you're ready, sir,
00:48:53.350 --> 00:48:55.933
if you would come in
and say a few words.
00:49:08.830 --> 00:49:10.943
And my colleagues.
00:49:12.630 --> 00:49:14.563
I spent 16 years in this building.
00:49:15.450 --> 00:49:19.807
12 on the 12th floor as
Statewide elected member
00:49:19.807 --> 00:49:22.713
of the Railroad Commission
of Texas and four, TEA.
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:25.760
As a member Railroad
Commissioner of Texas,
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:30.430
it was our proud moment
that we realized that we serve
00:49:32.120 --> 00:49:34.140
the oldest regulatory
agency in this state
00:49:34.140 --> 00:49:36.380
and perhaps one of the most
powerful regulatory agencies
00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:37.720
in this country.
00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:42.480
We knew that we were in
charge of the largest segment
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:43.733
of the Texas economy.
00:49:45.210 --> 00:49:46.730
When I got to the TEA,
00:49:46.730 --> 00:49:51.470
recognize that no matter
how valuable that natural gas
00:49:51.470 --> 00:49:53.770
or crude oil or coal that sits
00:49:53.770 --> 00:49:56.090
beneath the ground is, Mr. Chairman,
00:49:56.090 --> 00:49:58.710
it's nowhere near as valuable
as the energy that stands
00:49:58.710 --> 00:49:59.780
on top of the ground.
00:49:59.780 --> 00:50:01.970
And those those 5.3 million young people
00:50:03.165 --> 00:50:04.680
in Texas public schools.
00:50:04.680 --> 00:50:06.580
It was indeed my honor and my pleasure
00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:09.530
to serve here for four years.
00:50:09.530 --> 00:50:11.163
And to be with you.
00:50:14.015 --> 00:50:15.940
And it's a pleasure to
see all of you come back.
00:50:15.940 --> 00:50:17.480
David, Mr. Chairman.
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.670
I'm gonna turn my back
to y'all to be no disrespect,
00:50:19.670 --> 00:50:22.270
but I wanna talk to some
friends, if you don't mind.
00:50:23.600 --> 00:50:25.360
Mr. Anderson David, thank you.
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.500
I think I've been
Commissioner maybe two hours
00:50:27.500 --> 00:50:29.350
when you walked into
my office and told me
00:50:29.350 --> 00:50:31.128
that I've been sued.
00:50:31.128 --> 00:50:32.810
(laughter)
00:50:32.810 --> 00:50:34.548
And that you were gonna accept service.
00:50:34.548 --> 00:50:39.548
But I appreciate the
comments in which you brought
00:50:39.550 --> 00:50:43.360
that information to me and the
truthfulness that you gave me
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.923
throughout my tenure at TEA.
00:50:47.642 --> 00:50:50.443
And LB, there's nobody
like Lisa Banfoss.
00:50:51.500 --> 00:50:55.995
Commissioner Fisher knows
more about public school finance
00:50:55.995 --> 00:50:56.970
than anybody in this country.
00:50:56.970 --> 00:50:59.920
And I thank you for teaching
me about those little pennies.
00:51:01.390 --> 00:51:06.310
Sally, I wrote my first commentary
in favor of school choice
00:51:06.310 --> 00:51:09.120
and charter schools in 1989.
00:51:09.120 --> 00:51:12.720
I gave my first speech
on the subsequent 1990.
00:51:12.720 --> 00:51:16.240
You and I and Kevin and
others have the opportunity
00:51:16.240 --> 00:51:19.010
to expand the opportunities for
moms and dads and grandmas
00:51:19.010 --> 00:51:23.510
and grandpas and aunties and others.
00:51:23.510 --> 00:51:27.050
So that kids could be
fit into schools that met
00:51:27.050 --> 00:51:29.343
and meet their needs and I think for it.
00:51:31.410 --> 00:51:35.070
Michelle, we remember
the time when folks
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:40.940
and teachers got their
reviews at the end of the year
00:51:40.940 --> 00:51:42.880
and they got a big on number.
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:44.217
Nobody knew what the heck it meant.
00:51:44.217 --> 00:51:48.920
But you changed that teaching
about program so that now,
00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:51.670
they get real actual
information about how to become
00:51:51.670 --> 00:51:54.380
better educators for our youngsters.
00:51:54.380 --> 00:51:58.690
Nor, thank you for making
sure that all of them dollars
00:51:58.690 --> 00:52:00.953
you would get from uncle
Sam, we didn't lose them.
00:52:01.830 --> 00:52:03.580
But then we took good care of them.
00:52:05.820 --> 00:52:08.270
I probably missed
somebody along the way.
00:52:08.270 --> 00:52:11.150
Commissioner, it's
gonna be in your house.
00:52:11.150 --> 00:52:11.983
It's all right.
00:52:13.100 --> 00:52:15.620
But I wanna say before I go,
00:52:15.620 --> 00:52:18.260
a special thanks to a couple of folks.
00:52:18.260 --> 00:52:23.260
Will, Jean, Ryan, hurricane.
00:52:26.450 --> 00:52:29.010
That personal staff of my faith.
00:52:29.010 --> 00:52:32.570
Where we've been together
for about 15 years, right?
00:52:32.570 --> 00:52:34.953
After you left that little
school across the street,
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:39.593
I thank you for your comments.
00:52:41.100 --> 00:52:45.070
Jean was a whole lot more
than the communications director.
00:52:45.070 --> 00:52:48.450
Jean, you sort of kept me from making
00:52:48.450 --> 00:52:51.270
a lot of big mistakes along the way.
00:52:51.270 --> 00:52:52.997
And I appreciate that.
00:52:54.350 --> 00:52:57.870
It's interesting, Commissioner.
00:52:57.870 --> 00:53:02.380
I will now be the second
person who has his portrait hung
00:53:02.380 --> 00:53:05.803
in two different
places in this building.
00:53:06.730 --> 00:53:11.730
Up on the 12th floor, my
portrait hangs on the east wall,
00:53:13.310 --> 00:53:15.583
looking west and on the west wall,
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.580
there's a portrait that of a man
00:53:19.580 --> 00:53:21.293
by the name of Earl B. Mayfield.
00:53:22.330 --> 00:53:25.170
I had the great opportunity
to be in the line of succession
00:53:25.170 --> 00:53:28.440
of some outstanding
railroad Commissioners.
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:31.280
Mac Wallace from Athens, Texas,
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.250
former judge, former prosecutor
00:53:34.250 --> 00:53:36.380
went to the National War College.
00:53:37.303 --> 00:53:39.753
Mack was a heck of a mentor to me.
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.730
Also in my line of succession,
00:53:42.730 --> 00:53:47.730
I lay in the line of my
mentor of 43 years now.
00:53:48.070 --> 00:53:52.530
Former Congressman,
former state Senator,
00:53:52.530 --> 00:53:54.820
former railroad Commissioner
00:53:54.820 --> 00:53:58.940
and former chancellor of the
Texas Tech System, Kent Hance.
00:53:58.940 --> 00:54:02.820
Kent, probably talked
to him once about politics
00:54:02.820 --> 00:54:06.270
and life is anybody around.
00:54:06.270 --> 00:54:11.270
I'm also directly the
succeeding of the incomparable,
00:54:12.292 --> 00:54:13.607
(indistinct) Carole Keeton Rylander.
00:54:16.127 --> 00:54:18.270
Carole was the railroad Commissioner
00:54:18.270 --> 00:54:19.440
immediately proceeded me.
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:21.630
I stand in a great line success.
00:54:21.630 --> 00:54:26.060
But also on that wall
is Mr. Earle B. Mayfield.
00:54:26.060 --> 00:54:28.350
Mr. Mayfield ran for the
Railroad Commission of Texas
00:54:28.350 --> 00:54:30.203
as a member of the KKK.
00:54:32.430 --> 00:54:35.960
In this day, maybe it's somewhat awkward
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.410
to talk about such things,
00:54:38.410 --> 00:54:41.631
but I'm gonna tell you
where I started (indistinct).
00:54:41.631 --> 00:54:43.460
We're gonna talk about
talking about some truth.
00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:46.670
You can't talk about the
beauty and the wonder
00:54:46.670 --> 00:54:48.210
of the Railroad Commission of Texas
00:54:48.210 --> 00:54:52.230
where it had myself and Ambassador Garza
00:54:52.230 --> 00:54:53.920
and Charles Matthews.
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:57.190
If you don't talk about
Earle Bradford Mayfield.
00:54:57.190 --> 00:54:59.080
You're gonna talk sometimes have to talk
00:54:59.080 --> 00:55:00.210
about the ugly truth.
00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:03.920
And so I realized Commissioner Martinez,
00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:08.530
as you guys start working on
those social studies standards,
00:55:08.530 --> 00:55:10.660
there re gonna be some awkward moments.
00:55:10.660 --> 00:55:12.380
I'm staying here just
like the young brother
00:55:12.380 --> 00:55:14.083
who just left, Mr. Hale.
00:55:16.700 --> 00:55:18.320
Tell the truth.
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:19.680
Just tell the truth.
00:55:19.680 --> 00:55:22.080
Just put the truth in the
standards, my friends,
00:55:22.930 --> 00:55:24.750
and we'll be just fine.
00:55:24.750 --> 00:55:26.800
Kids will be able to handle the truth.
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:28.550
Let's not hide the truth from them.
00:55:29.940 --> 00:55:32.038
I have a theory about events like this,
00:55:32.038 --> 00:55:34.490
that at the end of the
day in which they began.
00:55:34.490 --> 00:55:37.800
So I'm gonna sit down
and I'm gonna leave.
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:41.260
But I thank you for
the opportunity to serve
00:55:41.260 --> 00:55:42.640
the people of Texas.
00:55:42.640 --> 00:55:45.690
I thank you were working with me.
00:55:45.690 --> 00:55:48.473
I thank you for coming back today.
00:55:49.970 --> 00:55:52.200
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
00:55:52.200 --> 00:55:53.970
May God bless you.
00:55:53.970 --> 00:55:55.656
God bless Texas.
00:55:55.656 --> 00:55:57.906
(applause)
00:56:21.160 --> 00:56:23.140
Mr. Williams, it is
our greatest honor
00:56:23.140 --> 00:56:26.320
to be able to recognize you here today
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.300
among all the great accomplishments
00:56:28.300 --> 00:56:29.720
that have happened before and after you
00:56:29.720 --> 00:56:31.840
and all that you have done for us today.
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:33.260
What I'm gonna ask is that everyone,
00:56:33.260 --> 00:56:35.710
we will all move out to
the lobby for a few minutes.
00:56:35.710 --> 00:56:37.762
We have a little reception out there.
00:56:37.762 --> 00:56:39.030
So we're gonna stand at ease
00:56:39.030 --> 00:56:42.623
and we're gonna adjourn
and head to the lobby.
00:56:49.460 --> 00:56:53.150
All right, members, we're
going to now reconvene
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:55.970
the Committee of the Full Board.
00:56:55.970 --> 00:56:56.900
So it was announced earlier
00:56:56.900 --> 00:56:58.140
the Committee of the Full Board
00:56:58.140 --> 00:57:00.520
still has some business to consider.
00:57:00.520 --> 00:57:03.050
Therefore the State Board
of Education has recessed
00:57:03.050 --> 00:57:06.313
and we were convening as a
Committee of the Full Board.
00:57:09.640 --> 00:57:13.920
We will proceed to propose
new 19 TAC Chapter 112.
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:16.380
Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills for science,
00:57:16.380 --> 00:57:18.700
Subchapter A, elementary, 112.1 to 112.7
00:57:18.700 --> 00:57:21.140
Subchapter B, middle school.
00:57:21.140 --> 00:57:23.630
112.25 to 112.28.
00:57:23.630 --> 00:57:26.840
This is second reading
and final adoption.
00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:28.550
Because the committee has adopted
00:57:28.550 --> 00:57:29.610
a recommendation on this item,
00:57:29.610 --> 00:57:32.570
the item must be reconsidered.
00:57:32.570 --> 00:57:35.140
Parliamentarian has advised
me that when the same meaning
00:57:35.140 --> 00:57:36.340
extends over several days,
00:57:36.340 --> 00:57:39.450
the motion to reconsider may
be made either on the same day
00:57:39.450 --> 00:57:41.770
or the next business day of the meeting.
00:57:41.770 --> 00:57:45.440
Ms. Little, I believe you have
a motion to get us on track.
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:46.850
I do Mr. Chair.
00:57:46.850 --> 00:57:49.130
I move to reconsider the recommendation
00:57:49.130 --> 00:57:50.970
to the State Board of Education
00:57:50.970 --> 00:57:55.550
related to the proposed
new 19 TAC Chapter 112.
00:57:55.550 --> 00:57:58.470
Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills for Science.
00:57:58.470 --> 00:58:01.140
Subchapter A, elementary.
00:58:01.140 --> 00:58:05.990
Section 112.1 through 112.7.
00:58:05.990 --> 00:58:08.300
And Subchapter B, middle school.
00:58:08.300 --> 00:58:12.630
Section 112.25 through 112.28.
00:58:12.630 --> 00:58:14.537
I voted in favor of the motion.
00:58:16.460 --> 00:58:18.740
Do we have a second?
Second.
00:58:18.740 --> 00:58:21.520
We have a motion and a second.
00:58:21.520 --> 00:58:23.180
So it has been moved to
reconsider the recommendation
00:58:23.180 --> 00:58:25.170
of the State Board of
Education related to proposed
00:58:25.170 --> 00:58:26.850
new 19 TAC Chapter 112.
00:58:26.850 --> 00:58:29.100
Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills for science
00:58:29.100 --> 00:58:32.127
Subchapter A, elementary, 112.1 to 112.7
00:58:32.127 --> 00:58:35.663
and Subchapter B, middle
school, 112.25 to 112.28.
00:58:37.882 --> 00:58:39.213
Is there any debate on the motion?
00:58:41.944 --> 00:58:42.777
All right.
00:58:42.777 --> 00:58:44.760
I would ask all those
in favor of the motion
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:47.130
'Cause this is the motion to reconsider.
00:58:47.130 --> 00:58:49.270
Just to reconsider.
00:58:49.270 --> 00:58:52.270
I would ask all those in favor
to show by raising your hand.
00:58:57.151 --> 00:58:58.651
12, 13.
00:59:00.040 --> 00:59:00.873
Lower your hands, please.
00:59:00.873 --> 00:59:02.828
All those opposed by the same sign.
00:59:02.828 --> 00:59:05.803
There's 13 in favor and zero against.
00:59:06.708 --> 00:59:07.650
So there is a majority in favor
00:59:07.650 --> 00:59:11.280
and the recommendation
will be reconsidered.
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:13.020
So members, this puts
us at the same place
00:59:13.020 --> 00:59:14.970
that we were immediately before the vote
00:59:14.970 --> 00:59:16.930
to finally adopt the recommendation.
00:59:16.930 --> 00:59:19.270
All prior amendments
will remain in place.
00:59:19.270 --> 00:59:20.640
Ms. Kay, one question I have had,
00:59:20.640 --> 00:59:23.920
is it typically in this case on
Friday that any amendments
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:27.610
would have to have been
posted by noon on Thursday?
00:59:27.610 --> 00:59:29.550
Is that still the case?
00:59:29.550 --> 00:59:31.483
That would require 2/3 majority?
00:59:33.510 --> 00:59:34.660
Yes, sir.
00:59:34.660 --> 00:59:37.070
Thank you for asking, Mr. Chair.
00:59:37.070 --> 00:59:42.070
Your rules, rule 5.7 states
that are member wishing
00:59:42.330 --> 00:59:45.550
to amended TEKS being
considered by the board
00:59:45.550 --> 00:59:47.500
for second reading and final adoption
00:59:47.500 --> 00:59:49.930
shall submit the amendment in writing
00:59:49.930 --> 00:59:52.840
to the staff no later than 5 pm
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.090
or two hours following the adjournment
00:59:55.090 --> 00:59:56.490
of the Committee of the Full Board,
00:59:56.490 --> 00:59:59.800
whichever is later on the
day prior to the amendment
00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.090
being considered by the board.
01:00:02.090 --> 01:00:06.720
Therefore, since the board is
not gonna be considering this,
01:00:06.720 --> 01:00:10.693
5.7 does not come into
play for amendments today.
01:00:11.593 --> 01:00:13.570
So for clarification, members,
01:00:13.570 --> 01:00:16.430
there would not be a
requirement than an amendment
01:00:16.430 --> 01:00:18.680
that has taken up at this point in time
01:00:18.680 --> 01:00:21.950
in the meeting would have
been needed to be sent in
01:00:24.246 --> 01:00:26.650
by five o'clock or noon,
whatever time we had set
01:00:26.650 --> 01:00:29.480
and therefore it will be
just be the normal majority
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:30.943
that it would take.
01:00:30.943 --> 01:00:32.702
It would not take 2/3 majority
01:00:32.702 --> 01:00:34.296
to suspend the operating rules.
01:00:34.296 --> 01:00:35.304
I get that correct?
01:00:35.304 --> 01:00:36.137
Okay.
01:00:38.160 --> 01:00:38.993
All right.
01:00:38.993 --> 01:00:42.950
So members, we are, at the same place
01:00:42.950 --> 01:00:44.450
being able to take amendments,
01:00:45.330 --> 01:00:48.090
I guess our options are,
we can go around the circle.
01:00:48.090 --> 01:00:49.630
We can go back grade level again.
01:00:49.630 --> 01:00:51.890
I'm not sure exactly how many
amendments are out there.
01:00:51.890 --> 01:00:54.543
Would you rather go
grade by grade again?
01:00:55.820 --> 01:00:59.660
Chairman, before you
begin, Shelly is handing now
01:00:59.660 --> 01:01:04.660
the rule text that will
reflect all of the amendments
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:08.033
that were made by the
committee earlier this week.
01:01:09.170 --> 01:01:11.330
So you have that for reference
01:01:11.330 --> 01:01:13.627
for what has already been addressed.
01:01:15.180 --> 01:01:16.013
Thank you.
01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:20.757
You get that handed out.
01:01:42.229 --> 01:01:44.685
All right, members,
let's start kindergarten
01:01:44.685 --> 01:01:48.263
because we don't have any
amendments for kindergarten.
01:01:51.610 --> 01:01:53.610
Members, any amendments for first grade?
01:01:56.810 --> 01:01:59.223
Members, any amendments
for second grade?
01:02:04.980 --> 01:02:07.083
Members, any amendments for third grade?
01:02:12.700 --> 01:02:15.410
Members, any amendments
for fourth grade?
01:02:15.410 --> 01:02:16.243
Mr. Hickman.
01:02:17.948 --> 01:02:20.220
At 411B on the packet,
Shelley just handed out.
01:02:25.470 --> 01:02:26.793
I think it's on page 20.
01:02:28.380 --> 01:02:30.647
I could find it in the original one
01:02:30.647 --> 01:02:35.647
and I also handed out a
paper on your desk for 411B.
01:02:36.530 --> 01:02:41.530
The motion is to move
or strike "and modern life"
01:02:41.700 --> 01:02:44.307
and insert "to modern life".
01:02:48.790 --> 01:02:49.697
So it would read,
01:02:49.697 --> 01:02:53.630
"Explain the critical
role of energy resources
01:02:53.630 --> 01:02:54.847
to modern life."
01:02:59.200 --> 01:03:00.303
So it's moving.
01:03:05.600 --> 01:03:07.203
Oh, sorry, that's the motion.
01:03:08.070 --> 01:03:11.947
Moving "to modern life"
earlier in the sentence.
01:03:11.947 --> 01:03:14.168
We have a motion.
Second.
01:03:14.168 --> 01:03:16.270
Motion and second, you
wanna speak to your motion?
01:03:16.270 --> 01:03:17.326
Sure.
01:03:17.326 --> 01:03:18.159
I worked with Dr. Johnson.
01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:20.740
I think the idea of his
original amendment
01:03:20.740 --> 01:03:22.300
and correct me here,
01:03:22.300 --> 01:03:26.290
is putting the critical
role of energy together
01:03:27.393 --> 01:03:32.090
with the impact on modern
life and putting conservation
01:03:32.090 --> 01:03:33.590
together with the environment.
01:03:37.390 --> 01:03:39.498
So members
in this scenario,
01:03:39.498 --> 01:03:41.860
it's an expectation that's
already been amended.
01:03:41.860 --> 01:03:43.700
So is there any objection to making
01:03:43.700 --> 01:03:45.650
this additional amendment to this item?
01:03:46.900 --> 01:03:48.460
All right, I'm hearing none.
01:03:48.460 --> 01:03:51.880
Is there any further debate
or discussion on this item?
01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:53.030
Ready to take the vote.
01:03:54.164 --> 01:03:56.110
All in favor, say aye.
Aye.
01:03:56.110 --> 01:03:58.003
Any opposed, say no.
01:03:59.625 --> 01:04:00.553
The motion carries.
01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:05.173
Members, any others in grade four?
01:04:07.168 --> 01:04:08.001
Dr. Johnson.
01:04:09.284 --> 01:04:11.380
I'd like to add 4.11D.
01:04:11.380 --> 01:04:14.330
Determine the physical
properties of rocks
01:04:14.330 --> 01:04:17.633
that allow Earth's natural
resources to be stored there.
01:04:19.520 --> 01:04:20.863
We have a second?
Second.
01:04:23.008 --> 01:04:24.100
All right, Dr. Johnson,
01:04:24.100 --> 01:04:25.450
wanna speak to your motion?
01:04:27.830 --> 01:04:29.850
Well, I
think all geologists
01:04:29.850 --> 01:04:31.240
would have confirmed
01:04:31.240 --> 01:04:33.540
that there's lots of
different densities to rock,
01:04:33.540 --> 01:04:36.900
but there is a lot of
mineral contained in rock.
01:04:36.900 --> 01:04:41.070
So I just think it's another
thing that's important to Texas
01:04:41.070 --> 01:04:44.400
to know that a lot of our
oil and gas and minerals
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:47.540
such as that come from rock.
01:04:47.540 --> 01:04:49.600
They're stored in rock.
01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:50.960
I think your amendment
will remain the same
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:53.530
and it won't change,
but I don't see a 411 C.
01:04:53.530 --> 01:04:55.330
So I believe this might be an amendment
01:04:55.330 --> 01:04:56.630
to be placed at 411C.
01:05:00.570 --> 01:05:04.483
So your motion is to make
this to 411 C for clarification.
01:05:05.978 --> 01:05:08.310
Did we get a second?
Second.
01:05:08.310 --> 01:05:09.876
We have a second.
01:05:09.876 --> 01:05:11.032
And you've spoken to your members.
01:05:11.032 --> 01:05:13.250
Is there any further
discussion, Ms. Hardy?
01:05:13.250 --> 01:05:14.527
Yes, sir.
01:05:14.527 --> 01:05:17.500
I have talked to my person
01:05:17.500 --> 01:05:21.710
who is elementary teacher
and she's on science.
01:05:21.710 --> 01:05:25.420
And she said, our advisor on that.
01:05:25.420 --> 01:05:28.533
And she said that without this,
01:05:29.870 --> 01:05:32.120
they took out what they
used to have in there,
01:05:32.120 --> 01:05:34.930
which was how caves are formed.
01:05:34.930 --> 01:05:39.070
And she feels like that
would be a prerequisite to this.
01:05:39.070 --> 01:05:41.250
And so for that reason,
01:05:41.250 --> 01:05:44.630
I'm not gonna be supporting
my fellow board member
01:05:44.630 --> 01:05:46.000
on this particular amendment,
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:51.000
because I think that the
elementary teacher has spoken,
01:05:52.200 --> 01:05:55.550
elementary social, I mean,
science supervisor has spoken
01:05:55.550 --> 01:05:57.960
and discouraged this coming in
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:00.690
without the prerequisite
of understanding
01:06:00.690 --> 01:06:02.760
where caves come from.
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.520
So that's just my thoughts.
01:06:05.520 --> 01:06:06.983
Chairman?
Ms. Martinez.
01:06:08.120 --> 01:06:09.670
Just, if
the parliamentarian
01:06:09.670 --> 01:06:12.013
would please capitalize Earth.
01:06:13.934 --> 01:06:14.980
I would be
happily capitalize Earth.
01:06:14.980 --> 01:06:16.373
Thank you so much.
01:06:20.394 --> 01:06:23.044
Members, any other
discussion on this item?
01:06:24.570 --> 01:06:26.020
We're ready to take the vote.
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:28.550
Ms. Melton-Malone?
01:06:28.550 --> 01:06:29.920
I was
just gonna say, I mean,
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:32.189
it's been a while since
I've taught second grade
01:06:32.189 --> 01:06:34.020
and I respect what she said,
01:06:34.020 --> 01:06:36.633
but when I was teaching
science in second grade,
01:06:38.080 --> 01:06:39.500
we just talked about rocks.
01:06:39.500 --> 01:06:41.130
We didn't talk about any of the other,
01:06:41.130 --> 01:06:44.090
so I don't see where they
would need a prerequisite
01:06:44.090 --> 01:06:47.040
because we studied rocks and
fossils and everything anyway.
01:06:49.860 --> 01:06:52.020
Microphone placement, sorry.
01:06:52.020 --> 01:06:53.303
Good, okay.
01:06:55.726 --> 01:06:56.559
Any other discussion?
01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:57.543
Ms. Davis.
01:06:57.543 --> 01:06:59.620
So I'd like to echo
what Member Melton just said.
01:06:59.620 --> 01:07:02.280
Yeah, this is more
about physical properties
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:03.150
and things like that.
01:07:03.150 --> 01:07:07.250
So it doesn't really go deeply
into caves and stalagmites
01:07:07.250 --> 01:07:08.083
and all that stuff.
01:07:08.083 --> 01:07:10.470
So I think that would
be a great opportunity.
01:07:10.470 --> 01:07:12.010
Just like when we have the rock,
01:07:12.010 --> 01:07:14.720
we got to feel it and touch it
and it was pretty awesome.
01:07:14.720 --> 01:07:15.830
It made us think about it.
01:07:15.830 --> 01:07:18.110
So I think this would be a
good way to kind a get our kids
01:07:18.110 --> 01:07:20.623
engaged in learning
about physical properties.
01:07:22.520 --> 01:07:24.693
Members, any other
discussion on this item?
01:07:25.730 --> 01:07:27.870
So I would say if we're
ready to take the vote,
01:07:27.870 --> 01:07:32.243
all those in favor of new 411C,
show by raising your hand.
01:07:38.610 --> 01:07:39.443
13.
01:07:40.300 --> 01:07:41.133
Lower your hands, please.
01:07:41.133 --> 01:07:43.320
All those opposed, by the same sign,
01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:45.090
there's 13 and favor and one against.
01:07:45.090 --> 01:07:46.313
And the motion carries.
01:07:47.240 --> 01:07:51.050
Members, any other
amendments for fourth grade?
01:07:51.050 --> 01:07:52.260
Mr. Hickman?
01:07:52.260 --> 01:07:53.400
Sorry.
01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:56.383
We just got a suggestion
from staff in second grade.
01:07:57.390 --> 01:07:59.320
Shelly, I don't know if you want us,
01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:01.270
or if we're allowed to go back to that.
01:08:02.174 --> 01:08:04.350
Is there any objection
to going backwards
01:08:04.350 --> 01:08:07.350
to second grade, Michelle,
do you have some comments?
01:08:07.350 --> 01:08:08.183
Yes, sir.
01:08:08.183 --> 01:08:11.920
A staff did breakouts on some
of the student expectations
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:14.160
that were amended on Wednesday.
01:08:14.160 --> 01:08:19.160
We identified a need
to adjust grade two 9B
01:08:21.450 --> 01:08:24.580
so that we could make sure
that the breakouts were clear
01:08:24.580 --> 01:08:26.260
and teachers were more clear
01:08:26.260 --> 01:08:27.860
on what they should be teaching.
01:08:30.660 --> 01:08:35.660
So we would recommend
striking "and compare how."
01:08:43.790 --> 01:08:48.790
And striking "are more visible
and can appear different."
01:08:53.930 --> 01:08:58.190
And inserting that language
after the word telescope.
01:08:58.190 --> 01:09:00.990
So then it would insert
01:09:04.047 --> 01:09:09.047
"And compare how objects
in the sky are more visible
01:09:11.300 --> 01:09:14.717
and can appear
differently with the tool."
01:09:19.360 --> 01:09:20.960
Let me repeat it again.
01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:24.257
And compare how objects in the sky
01:09:33.540 --> 01:09:37.233
are more visible and can
appear differently with the tool.
01:09:47.990 --> 01:09:49.480
So really, that just restructured,
01:09:49.480 --> 01:09:50.700
it keeps the same content,
01:09:50.700 --> 01:09:53.000
it just restructures
the student expectation
01:09:53.910 --> 01:09:55.960
so that it makes a
little bit more sense.
01:09:58.750 --> 01:10:01.920
Does any member
like to make this motion?
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:04.040
So moved.
Do we have a second?
01:10:04.040 --> 01:10:05.140
Second.
Okay.
01:10:05.140 --> 01:10:06.420
I think staff has explained it.
01:10:06.420 --> 01:10:08.920
Is there any questions for staff
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:10.770
or any other discussion on this item?
01:10:12.192 --> 01:10:13.642
So we're gonna understand it.
01:10:17.030 --> 01:10:17.870
No other questions.
01:10:17.870 --> 01:10:19.020
Is there any objection?
01:10:20.060 --> 01:10:21.710
Hearing none, the motion carries.
01:10:23.860 --> 01:10:26.110
And that should take
us back to fourth grade.
01:10:26.970 --> 01:10:28.820
Any other amendments in fourth grade?
01:10:31.730 --> 01:10:35.453
Members, any amendments in fifth grade?
01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:42.470
Members, any amendments in sixth grade?
01:10:51.317 --> 01:10:56.317
Members, any amendments
in seventh grade?
01:11:00.382 --> 01:11:02.493
Members, are there any
amendments in eighth grade?
01:11:04.300 --> 01:11:06.363
Ms. Davis, Ms. Perez.
01:11:09.430 --> 01:11:13.443
So for 811C
that we deleted.
01:11:15.326 --> 01:11:16.908
We deleted that because we wanted to put
01:11:16.908 --> 01:11:17.741
some better language there.
01:11:17.741 --> 01:11:18.840
I'm trying to get to it.
01:11:21.630 --> 01:11:23.230
Because we had some concerns about it
01:11:23.230 --> 01:11:25.003
being too policy focused.
01:11:28.600 --> 01:11:31.943
So I wanted to try to get some language.
01:11:42.440 --> 01:11:43.440
Ms. Perez.
01:11:44.537 --> 01:11:46.101
Ask the mem,
01:11:46.101 --> 01:11:48.130
are you asking for
language recommendations
01:11:48.130 --> 01:11:50.380
or do you have language
you'd like to recommend?
01:11:50.380 --> 01:11:51.500
I have a language
I'd like to recommend.
01:11:51.500 --> 01:11:52.500
Thank you.
01:11:54.129 --> 01:11:54.962
This part.
01:11:54.962 --> 01:11:55.983
Are you ready?
Yes.
01:11:57.160 --> 01:12:00.710
I would like to
recommend, "Describe ways
01:12:03.650 --> 01:12:06.520
to address climate change."
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:07.500
Hold on, go slow.
01:12:07.500 --> 01:12:08.800
Let her go along with you.
01:12:09.860 --> 01:12:12.130
Describe ways to
address climate change.
01:12:12.130 --> 01:12:12.963
Yes.
01:12:14.320 --> 01:12:18.013
Through science and technology.
01:12:21.380 --> 01:12:22.360
Is that it?
Yes.
01:12:22.360 --> 01:12:24.585
So do we have a second?
Second.
01:12:24.585 --> 01:12:25.660
We have a
motion and a second.
01:12:25.660 --> 01:12:28.533
Very emphatic second. (laughs)
01:12:30.080 --> 01:12:31.270
Would you like to speak to your motion?
01:12:31.270 --> 01:12:32.890
Sure.
01:12:32.890 --> 01:12:35.560
We discussed that it was
good for our students to have
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:38.290
the opportunity to
have the conversation,
01:12:38.290 --> 01:12:40.050
but Member Hickman was concerned
01:12:40.050 --> 01:12:41.870
that it was too policy driven.
01:12:41.870 --> 01:12:43.910
So this way, they still
have the opportunity
01:12:43.910 --> 01:12:45.210
to have that conversation,
01:12:45.210 --> 01:12:47.480
but through the lens of
science and technology
01:12:47.480 --> 01:12:49.980
like what we intend for
this course in particular.
01:12:53.190 --> 01:12:54.190
Ms. Hardy.
01:12:57.700 --> 01:12:58.650
Microphone, please.
01:13:00.630 --> 01:13:02.923
I have a substitute.
01:13:04.550 --> 01:13:06.320
I shared it with her
because we've had a little bit
01:13:06.320 --> 01:13:08.160
of activity here this morning.
01:13:08.160 --> 01:13:13.160
But I would ask if you
would consider this
01:13:13.660 --> 01:13:15.730
as a substitute to yours.
01:13:15.730 --> 01:13:16.720
Kinda read it.
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:17.553
May I read it?
01:13:18.620 --> 01:13:19.453
Thank you.
01:13:19.453 --> 01:13:21.420
Compare and discuss
the differences in patterns,
01:13:21.420 --> 01:13:24.240
cycles, data, extremes, and changes
01:13:24.240 --> 01:13:27.600
observed in weather
and calculated climate
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:29.593
using historical weather records.
01:13:32.230 --> 01:13:35.700
So where we're at is
we have an amendment.
01:13:35.700 --> 01:13:37.410
Ms. Hardy in discussions
about something else.
01:13:37.410 --> 01:13:39.100
She hasn't made a secondary amendment.
01:13:39.100 --> 01:13:40.500
I think we can do some more.
01:13:43.320 --> 01:13:45.220
Make sure you get Ms.
Kay, the parliamentarian,
01:13:45.220 --> 01:13:47.640
a copy of that while
we continue to discuss.
01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:49.420
So we're not going to a
secondary amendment.
01:13:49.420 --> 01:13:51.673
We have some more
discussion on Ms. Davis's.
01:13:53.310 --> 01:13:58.060
I would supplement
what Ms. Davis has said
01:13:58.060 --> 01:14:02.780
with the observation that
the students that I teach
01:14:04.160 --> 01:14:07.950
are desperate for hope
about climate change,
01:14:07.950 --> 01:14:09.890
because they are afraid.
01:14:09.890 --> 01:14:13.630
And I think that that's
fairly simple and direct,
01:14:13.630 --> 01:14:16.040
like this would be appropriate.
01:14:16.040 --> 01:14:20.580
And I think that Ms.
Hardy, that her suggestion,
01:14:20.580 --> 01:14:25.180
if we go there, is a
little bit too complicated
01:14:25.180 --> 01:14:28.720
and doesn't achieve the
same goal of having students
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:32.283
address the issue, but
in a way that is neutral.
01:14:34.100 --> 01:14:35.870
Ms. Davis?
01:14:35.870 --> 01:14:37.810
I come and
respond to that yesterday.
01:14:37.810 --> 01:14:39.860
I was watching the news
as I was getting dressed.
01:14:39.860 --> 01:14:42.320
And there was a story
about General Motors.
01:14:42.320 --> 01:14:45.130
General Motors is about to
move to nearly all electric cars
01:14:45.130 --> 01:14:47.960
by 2035 because of climate change.
01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:51.650
And they have this huge
light statement about it.
01:14:51.650 --> 01:14:55.120
And also, that evening I was
watching about Madagascar.
01:14:55.120 --> 01:14:56.750
Madagascar is actually going through
01:14:56.750 --> 01:14:59.430
a climate change caused famine.
01:14:59.430 --> 01:15:02.170
And a lot of those citizens
there are dying by droves
01:15:02.170 --> 01:15:03.780
because of climate change.
01:15:03.780 --> 01:15:07.290
So I think if we have our
students talk about the reality
01:15:07.290 --> 01:15:09.460
of what's happening and how you can use
01:15:09.460 --> 01:15:11.810
science and technology to address these,
01:15:11.810 --> 01:15:14.360
you're hitting some college
and career readiness points.
01:15:14.360 --> 01:15:17.380
You're building that base
of science and you're getting
01:15:17.380 --> 01:15:18.973
our kids ready for the future.
01:15:22.370 --> 01:15:25.010
Yeah, I will
support this amendment.
01:15:25.010 --> 01:15:28.397
Because to me, just compare these two,
01:15:28.397 --> 01:15:31.963
address is a very different
word than mitigate first of all.
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:36.460
And then it also does
not include talking
01:15:36.460 --> 01:15:38.640
about reduction
greenhouse gas emissions.
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:41.180
That's not even in this amendment
01:15:41.180 --> 01:15:43.163
that member Davis is proposing.
01:15:44.860 --> 01:15:47.310
I mean, I think that we all
agree that climate change
01:15:47.310 --> 01:15:49.860
is occurring, there's a question,
01:15:49.860 --> 01:15:51.750
as I kind of point out the other day is,
01:15:51.750 --> 01:15:55.120
is greenhouse gas
emission's a significant factor
01:15:55.120 --> 01:15:57.140
or the significant factor.
01:15:57.140 --> 01:15:57.973
That to me, is unclear,
01:15:57.973 --> 01:16:00.570
but I think this sounds appropriate.
01:16:00.570 --> 01:16:05.313
And really, so I'll be supporting that.
01:16:08.200 --> 01:16:10.113
Is there
additional discussion?
01:16:11.270 --> 01:16:13.570
I think there's probably
two different options.
01:16:13.570 --> 01:16:15.520
If you wanna make a
secondary amendment to see
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:18.610
if you could get that
adopted by the board
01:16:18.610 --> 01:16:21.490
to replace the primary amendment,
that would be one option.
01:16:21.490 --> 01:16:25.160
The other would be to, if you
wanted that amendment to work,
01:16:25.160 --> 01:16:29.020
to vote this amendment down
and then propose your own.
01:16:29.020 --> 01:16:32.415
So those are your two
options at this point.
01:16:32.415 --> 01:16:35.220
(Hardy speaking indistinctly)
01:16:35.220 --> 01:16:36.053
I'm sorry?
01:16:36.053 --> 01:16:38.275
(Hardy speaking indistinctly)
01:16:38.275 --> 01:16:40.425
So Ms. Hardy now has
a secondary amendment.
01:16:42.440 --> 01:16:43.273
I'm sorry.
01:16:43.273 --> 01:16:44.350
I was close.
01:16:44.350 --> 01:16:45.693
Say substitute amendment.
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:48.793
I'm sorry, as a substitute amendment.
01:17:22.150 --> 01:17:24.670
We're waiting for the
parliamentarian to get it.
01:17:24.670 --> 01:17:29.010
So go ahead and state your motion, your.
01:17:29.010 --> 01:17:30.870
Oh, again?
01:17:30.870 --> 01:17:33.840
Replacing the suggested language
01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.390
with this suggested language, 11C,
01:17:36.390 --> 01:17:40.380
compare and discuss
the differences patterns,
01:17:40.380 --> 01:17:45.380
cycles, data extremes, and
changes observed in weather
01:17:45.790 --> 01:17:49.923
and calculated climate using
historical weather records.
01:17:50.860 --> 01:17:52.554
Do we have a second?
01:17:52.554 --> 01:17:54.640
I'll second.
A motion and a second.
01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:56.040
You'd like to speak to your?
01:17:57.440 --> 01:18:01.730
I just think it
might, I just prefer that one,
01:18:01.730 --> 01:18:03.550
but it's just a difference
01:18:03.550 --> 01:18:07.563
and basically says about the same thing.
01:18:10.230 --> 01:18:14.560
I just think that it has
taken the heavier language
01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:18.210
of mitigate out and put another,
01:18:18.210 --> 01:18:21.010
something that's easily
compare and discuss
01:18:21.010 --> 01:18:22.430
for the kids to do.
01:18:22.430 --> 01:18:23.430
Ms. Davis?
01:18:25.250 --> 01:18:27.850
I'd have to disagree
because this is talking
01:18:27.850 --> 01:18:30.880
about differences in
patterns and cycles.
01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.660
Whereas the amendment that I suggested
01:18:33.660 --> 01:18:35.490
would have the students
talking about ways
01:18:35.490 --> 01:18:37.100
to address climate change.
01:18:37.100 --> 01:18:40.480
So this comparing discusses
kinda looking at patterns,
01:18:40.480 --> 01:18:42.727
what I was hoping that they would do,
01:18:42.727 --> 01:18:43.580
would talk about the patterns
01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:45.210
that they've already
learned about and think
01:18:45.210 --> 01:18:49.770
about ways to make our
climate more sustainable.
01:18:49.770 --> 01:18:51.593
Any other
discussion on this one?
01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:54.280
We're ready to take the vote.
01:18:54.280 --> 01:18:58.050
So this is a substitute
amendment as noted on the screen.
01:18:58.050 --> 01:19:00.623
All those in favor show
by raising your hand.
01:19:01.690 --> 01:19:02.590
Actually, hold on.
01:19:04.254 --> 01:19:05.656
It's gonna get me back on track.
01:19:05.656 --> 01:19:07.007
It was about site.
01:19:07.007 --> 01:19:08.910
Mr. Chairman, let me
suggest that perhaps,
01:19:08.910 --> 01:19:10.630
the way that you want to frame this
01:19:10.630 --> 01:19:15.070
so everyone knows exactly
how their vote should be done.
01:19:15.070 --> 01:19:17.990
Is it, if you were in favor
of the substitute language
01:19:17.990 --> 01:19:21.690
highlighted in blue, then
you would vote in favor
01:19:21.690 --> 01:19:23.130
of the substitute.
01:19:23.130 --> 01:19:27.970
If you would prefer the
unhighlighted language above it,
01:19:27.970 --> 01:19:31.283
then you would vote against
the motion to substitute.
01:19:32.470 --> 01:19:34.180
What she said, yeah.
01:19:34.180 --> 01:19:35.260
(laughter)
01:19:35.260 --> 01:19:36.140
Mr. Hickman.
01:19:36.140 --> 01:19:37.880
Is this a
secondary amendment?
01:19:37.880 --> 01:19:40.333
And then we'll vote on
the main amendment?
01:19:42.193 --> 01:19:44.570
It is.
01:19:44.570 --> 01:19:48.800
So once you adopt, whichever
one of these comes out
01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:52.410
of this cage match of substitution
01:19:52.410 --> 01:19:55.980
that you're about to vote
on will then be voted on
01:19:55.980 --> 01:20:00.390
as the amendment or as
the language to be inserted.
01:20:00.390 --> 01:20:02.349
Okay, thank you.
01:20:02.349 --> 01:20:07.349
And another
substitute could be proposed
01:20:07.930 --> 01:20:11.360
after this one is considered
and they could, of course,
01:20:11.360 --> 01:20:14.363
both be defeated and
no change could be made.
01:20:15.210 --> 01:20:16.750
So let me get this clear.
01:20:16.750 --> 01:20:19.383
The second one is being voted first?
01:20:21.100 --> 01:20:22.430
No, no.
01:20:22.430 --> 01:20:24.570
The second one is being voted on first
01:20:24.570 --> 01:20:26.943
and the first one is
being voted on second?
01:20:29.420 --> 01:20:33.210
So, this is a
motion to substitute.
01:20:33.210 --> 01:20:34.160
So the question is,
01:20:34.160 --> 01:20:38.797
shall the language in blue
replaced the language in red?
01:20:40.910 --> 01:20:44.450
Which is currently the motion.
01:20:44.450 --> 01:20:48.260
So this is a secondary amendment,
01:20:48.260 --> 01:20:50.660
which is a motion to substitute,
01:20:50.660 --> 01:20:54.797
which is essentially
to strike out everything,
01:20:54.797 --> 01:20:57.390
"Describe ways to
address climate change"
01:20:57.390 --> 01:21:01.455
and insert, "Compare and
discuss the differences."
01:21:01.455 --> 01:21:04.860
So it's a motion to
strike out an insert.
01:21:04.860 --> 01:21:07.210
And when you're doing the whole thing,
01:21:07.210 --> 01:21:09.060
it's technically called a substitute.
01:21:10.240 --> 01:21:12.080
If you're in favor of
Ms. Hardy's amendment,
01:21:12.080 --> 01:21:12.913
you vote yes.
01:21:12.913 --> 01:21:15.863
If you wanna revert back
to Ms. Davis's, you vote no.
01:21:17.190 --> 01:21:18.023
Clear?
01:21:19.070 --> 01:21:20.720
We're ready to vote.
01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:23.120
So all those in favor
show by raising your hand.
01:21:28.677 --> 01:21:30.677
Seven, eight.
01:21:32.490 --> 01:21:33.630
Lower your
hands, all those opposed
01:21:33.630 --> 01:21:34.480
by the same sign.
01:21:36.403 --> 01:21:39.750
One, two,
three, four, five, six.
01:21:39.750 --> 01:21:42.790
There's eight in
favor and six against.
01:21:42.790 --> 01:21:47.150
So the substitute amendment carries.
01:21:47.150 --> 01:21:50.290
So that's the amendment
where we're at right now.
01:21:50.290 --> 01:21:53.090
Are there any other
amendments on this item?
01:21:53.090 --> 01:21:55.720
Ms. Perez.
Thank you.
01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:58.580
The document that I just
shared with you all is language
01:21:58.580 --> 01:22:03.440
that Mr. Hickman and
I believe might get us
01:22:03.440 --> 01:22:06.650
to where we all want to be
with compromising language
01:22:06.650 --> 01:22:10.940
that makes everyone
slightly less than happy.
01:22:10.940 --> 01:22:13.933
If you would all, please consider
the amendment before you.
01:22:17.710 --> 01:22:19.410
So please state
your amendment.
01:22:19.410 --> 01:22:21.390
That's it, yes,
you have it in your email.
01:22:21.390 --> 01:22:23.620
So state your
amendment, please.
01:22:23.620 --> 01:22:25.270
You have a parliamentary inquiry?
01:22:28.160 --> 01:22:31.093
Is this to be D?
01:22:33.160 --> 01:22:33.993
11D?
01:22:38.260 --> 01:22:39.910
So this would be a
substitute amendment
01:22:39.910 --> 01:22:42.083
to what we just adopted there in blue.
01:22:43.980 --> 01:22:45.250
So please state your amendment.
01:22:45.250 --> 01:22:46.870
Thank you.
01:22:46.870 --> 01:22:49.189
It is described the carbon cycle.
01:22:49.189 --> 01:22:50.196
Do we have a second?
01:22:50.196 --> 01:22:51.531
We have a motion and a second.
01:22:51.531 --> 01:22:53.123
You wanna speak to your
amendment any further?
01:22:56.440 --> 01:22:57.273
Mr. Hickman.
01:22:58.110 --> 01:23:00.700
Yeah, I
think this is the science
01:23:00.700 --> 01:23:02.680
we've been thinking
about and talking about,
01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:04.563
and working with my colleague here.
01:23:05.570 --> 01:23:08.070
If you just Google carbon cycle diagram,
01:23:08.070 --> 01:23:09.360
you'll get about a hundred pictures
01:23:09.360 --> 01:23:11.220
like the one you have on your desk.
01:23:11.220 --> 01:23:15.750
You can see the trees doing
photosynthesis taking in CO2.
01:23:15.750 --> 01:23:17.591
You can see underground, dead organisms,
01:23:17.591 --> 01:23:19.680
forming fossil fuels.
01:23:19.680 --> 01:23:23.100
You can see animals
giving off carbon dioxide.
01:23:23.100 --> 01:23:24.630
You can see the factories and cars
01:23:24.630 --> 01:23:26.620
giving off carbon dioxide.
01:23:26.620 --> 01:23:28.610
The trees actually
give off carbon dioxide
01:23:28.610 --> 01:23:30.680
in terms of respiration.
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.960
So this is kind of the science
that we're talking about.
01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:38.510
This is the simple science
we've also talked about.
01:23:38.510 --> 01:23:40.610
If I'm here, I'll be happy
to support something
01:23:40.610 --> 01:23:44.620
in social studies to talk
about the policy next year,
01:23:44.620 --> 01:23:45.900
but for eighth grade science,
01:23:45.900 --> 01:23:48.340
I think this is what we're looking for
01:23:48.340 --> 01:23:51.260
in terms of where carbon
dioxide comes from,
01:23:51.260 --> 01:23:53.010
where it goes and how to manage it.
01:23:54.060 --> 01:23:55.060
Ms. Hardy?
01:23:55.988 --> 01:24:00.988
I would ask maker of
the amendment to consider
01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:09.470
keeping the 11C and and
go ahead and adding the 11D
01:24:09.470 --> 01:24:12.001
as a wrap-up for getting to that point.
01:24:12.001 --> 01:24:15.300
Because they're really
two different things.
01:24:15.300 --> 01:24:20.300
What 11C says and what
this one D does, which is good.
01:24:21.780 --> 01:24:24.820
Are not exactly the same thing.
01:24:24.820 --> 01:24:26.963
And I would like to see this in there,
01:24:28.165 --> 01:24:29.643
but I would like to also keep 11C.
01:24:35.250 --> 01:24:40.100
I like this diagram
because it helps students
01:24:40.100 --> 01:24:43.139
understand the cycle.
01:24:43.139 --> 01:24:48.139
And I am still concerned
that it gives no hint
01:24:50.540 --> 01:24:54.890
at looking at how to solve
the problem that we face,
01:24:54.890 --> 01:24:57.910
regardless of what
people think is the cause
01:24:57.910 --> 01:25:01.950
for global warming, global
warming is the problem
01:25:01.950 --> 01:25:05.843
that students face and that we all face.
01:25:12.590 --> 01:25:14.270
I would vote in favor of this,
01:25:14.270 --> 01:25:19.270
but I would like to see
something additional
01:25:19.570 --> 01:25:24.240
that would give students
some glimmer of hope.
01:25:24.240 --> 01:25:27.830
Some idea that we could actually
01:25:27.830 --> 01:25:29.663
have an influence on this problem.
01:25:30.792 --> 01:25:34.140
Ms. Davis.
Thank you.
01:25:34.140 --> 01:25:36.650
I really would support
this as a substitution.
01:25:36.650 --> 01:25:39.740
The new C that we just
adopted is very, very packed.
01:25:39.740 --> 01:25:41.260
It is very, very packed.
01:25:41.260 --> 01:25:43.460
And I would like to know
how much additional
01:25:44.444 --> 01:25:46.810
instructional time that
one addition will cause.
01:25:46.810 --> 01:25:49.330
Cause there is a lot
that we are requiring
01:25:49.330 --> 01:25:51.610
in that new addition in 11C.
01:25:51.610 --> 01:25:55.750
So if anybody can
discuss about the estimate
01:25:55.750 --> 01:25:59.000
on how much
instructional time that'll take
01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:01.150
to go through each and
every one of those pieces
01:26:01.150 --> 01:26:04.140
that's in that C, I really
think this new substitute
01:26:04.140 --> 01:26:07.023
would be a lot more
effective for our teachers.
01:26:07.900 --> 01:26:11.186
Ms. Davis, staff
is looking at that right now.
01:26:11.186 --> 01:26:12.750
They would agree with you.
01:26:12.750 --> 01:26:15.610
They've they've already
said that this would add
01:26:15.610 --> 01:26:17.690
instructional time, but
they're trying to come up
01:26:17.690 --> 01:26:18.940
with an estimate for you.
01:26:23.850 --> 01:26:27.580
Even then, just
acknowledging that it would have
01:26:27.580 --> 01:26:29.473
a significant impact
on instructional time,
01:26:29.473 --> 01:26:33.330
that's why I really would
like to do this as a substitute
01:26:33.330 --> 01:26:35.753
rather than what we've just adopted.
01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:38.513
I'm sorry.
01:26:38.513 --> 01:26:40.510
So Dr. Ellis, I apologize
for interrupting.
01:26:40.510 --> 01:26:41.910
Staff just said it would add
01:26:42.754 --> 01:26:44.070
about a week's worth
of instructional time.
01:26:44.070 --> 01:26:44.903
One week.
01:26:48.150 --> 01:26:50.960
I would like
to agree with Ms. Davis
01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:54.660
that adding this as a
substitute would be better
01:26:54.660 --> 01:26:58.933
and it would not add a week's
worth of instructional time.
01:27:02.810 --> 01:27:05.677
Members, any other
thoughts or discussions
01:27:05.677 --> 01:27:06.740
on the item?
01:27:06.740 --> 01:27:08.200
Dr. Robinson.
01:27:08.200 --> 01:27:09.420
Yeah, we've heard,
01:27:09.420 --> 01:27:12.200
in the last few years, we've
gone through streamlining
01:27:12.200 --> 01:27:14.880
of the TEKS because
we've heard from teachers
01:27:16.659 --> 01:27:18.820
that's there's a mile wide,
inch deep, there's way too much.
01:27:18.820 --> 01:27:20.520
And so if we're adding a week,
01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:24.170
I don't think I see
why we should do that.
01:27:24.170 --> 01:27:26.490
I don't think that's
a good idea, really.
01:27:26.490 --> 01:27:27.490
Ms. Hardy.
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.980
With the fact that
that's a graded subject,
01:27:31.980 --> 01:27:34.510
I mean, a tested subject and considering
01:27:34.510 --> 01:27:38.257
the instructional time,
I'll withdrawal my C
01:27:39.620 --> 01:27:42.280
and so be in support of this C.
01:27:42.280 --> 01:27:44.720
So I think technically,
01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:49.113
the motion to substitute
would essentially do that.
01:27:50.263 --> 01:27:51.460
I'd like the
motions to substitute.
01:27:51.460 --> 01:27:53.373
That will get
you there from here.
01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:58.130
We're ready for the vote.
01:28:00.115 --> 01:28:03.460
All those in favor of the
substitute amendment to 811C.
01:28:03.460 --> 01:28:05.690
That would now read,
describe the carbon cycle,
01:28:05.690 --> 01:28:06.990
show by raising your hand.
01:28:14.579 --> 01:28:15.412
Lower your hands, please.
01:28:15.412 --> 01:28:17.143
All those opposed by the same sign.
01:28:18.650 --> 01:28:19.483
Motion carries.
01:28:19.483 --> 01:28:21.320
And we now have a bi-partisan 811C.
01:28:34.270 --> 01:28:37.343
Members, is there any other
amendments in grade eight?
01:28:40.130 --> 01:28:42.293
Members, are there any other amendments?
01:28:45.360 --> 01:28:47.570
Mr. Chairman.
Yes, ma'am.
01:28:47.570 --> 01:28:49.490
You have
adopted the substitute.
01:28:49.490 --> 01:28:52.690
Now your pending
amendment is to insert this.
01:28:52.690 --> 01:28:56.190
You just need another vote
on describing the carbon cycle,
01:28:56.190 --> 01:28:58.941
which is now your primary amendment.
01:28:58.941 --> 01:28:59.840
Okay.
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:01.497
Y'all catch that.
01:29:01.497 --> 01:29:03.530
So now describe the carbon cycle in 811C
01:29:03.530 --> 01:29:05.060
is now the primary amendment.
01:29:05.060 --> 01:29:07.487
So we need another vote to do that.
01:29:07.487 --> 01:29:09.112
So moved.
So it has been moved.
01:29:09.112 --> 01:29:09.945
Second.
Seconded.
01:29:09.945 --> 01:29:11.690
Is there any objection?
01:29:11.690 --> 01:29:13.633
Hearing none, motion carries.
01:29:14.659 --> 01:29:16.076
Thanks very much.
01:29:17.590 --> 01:29:19.001
Yes, sir.
01:29:19.001 --> 01:29:23.890
So there was an amendment
made on Wednesday in grade eight.
01:29:23.890 --> 01:29:27.360
And I can provide you more information.
01:29:27.360 --> 01:29:29.523
Sorry, I have a lot of
papers in front of me.
01:29:32.050 --> 01:29:35.870
It was new 6B on the rural
texts that we passed out,
01:29:35.870 --> 01:29:38.020
that would be on page 38.
01:29:38.020 --> 01:29:40.500
Describe the arrangement
of the periodic table,
01:29:40.500 --> 01:29:43.090
including groups and periods
to explain how properties
01:29:43.090 --> 01:29:44.981
are used to classify elements.
01:29:44.981 --> 01:29:47.830
And staff raised some
significant concern
01:29:47.830 --> 01:29:48.984
with that addition.
01:29:48.984 --> 01:29:53.984
Because one of the pieces
that has been eliminated
01:29:54.810 --> 01:29:58.810
from eighth grade and
your work groups agreed
01:29:58.810 --> 01:30:01.020
was more appropriate in high.
01:30:01.020 --> 01:30:02.690
I'm sorry, can you
tell me where we're at?
01:30:02.690 --> 01:30:05.580
Pace 38, 6B.
01:30:05.580 --> 01:30:06.533
Thank you.
01:30:08.635 --> 01:30:10.810
So the students
would need to have
01:30:10.810 --> 01:30:13.260
background knowledge in atomic structure
01:30:13.260 --> 01:30:18.150
to be able to be proficient
in this student expectation.
01:30:18.150 --> 01:30:21.670
And atomic structure has
been intentionally removed
01:30:21.670 --> 01:30:24.680
from middle school because
the work groups believed
01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:26.380
that it was more
developmentally appropriate
01:30:26.380 --> 01:30:27.940
for high school.
01:30:27.940 --> 01:30:31.815
So that created some
significant problems.
01:30:31.815 --> 01:30:36.320
We talked to the maker of this amendment
01:30:36.320 --> 01:30:38.910
and we've offered some
alternative language
01:30:38.910 --> 01:30:40.810
that would, I think, meet her concerns
01:30:40.810 --> 01:30:45.810
to make sure that students
are using the periodic table
01:30:45.830 --> 01:30:48.250
at sixth, seventh, and eighth grade.
01:30:48.250 --> 01:30:53.250
And so we have two proposal,
two proposed additions
01:30:55.300 --> 01:30:56.600
if the board were willing.
01:30:58.890 --> 01:31:01.510
Remind me, whose motion?
01:31:01.510 --> 01:31:03.293
Dr. Young.
Okay.
01:31:07.340 --> 01:31:11.840
So is there any objection
to what staff's, Mr. Cortez?
01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:12.840
Just have a question.
01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:17.840
And so the additions mean
on top of that new item,
01:31:18.590 --> 01:31:21.670
there's still more time
to add on top of that?
01:31:21.670 --> 01:31:22.503
No, sir.
01:31:22.503 --> 01:31:26.140
We think it would actually,
striking that amendment
01:31:26.140 --> 01:31:27.930
and adding to student expectations
01:31:27.930 --> 01:31:29.723
actually reduce the amount of time.
01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:32.439
So what
would it look like now?
01:31:32.439 --> 01:31:35.323
You're offering something,
what is the new offer?
01:31:37.740 --> 01:31:38.573
Can I share?
01:31:38.573 --> 01:31:43.210
So what the proposal
would be in seventh grade,
01:31:44.860 --> 01:31:46.313
to add a new 6B.
01:31:53.068 --> 01:31:56.885
Is that the
highlighted one?
01:31:56.885 --> 01:31:59.590
It would be in
addition to that, at sixth grade.
01:31:59.590 --> 01:32:04.590
So for sixth grade, we'll get
you a page number on that.
01:32:06.324 --> 01:32:07.526
33, thank you.
01:32:07.526 --> 01:32:09.048
So new 6B.
01:32:09.048 --> 01:32:11.733
(man speaking indistinctly)
01:32:11.733 --> 01:32:12.783
Sorry, seventh grade.
01:32:15.030 --> 01:32:16.223
New 6B.
01:32:17.490 --> 01:32:19.640
And Kay, this has changed very slightly.
01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:24.640
Use the periodic table
to identify the atoms
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:32.780
and the number of each kind
01:32:35.730 --> 01:32:38.363
within a chemical formula.
01:32:40.690 --> 01:32:43.810
So this would have students
studying the arrangement
01:32:43.810 --> 01:32:48.360
of the periodic table as
they're identifying the atoms
01:32:48.360 --> 01:32:51.440
and the number of each
kind within a chemical formula.
01:32:51.440 --> 01:32:54.653
So it's grade level
appropriate for seventh grade.
01:32:56.020 --> 01:32:58.930
And then in addition to
that, because Dr. Young
01:32:58.930 --> 01:33:01.090
wanted to make sure
that it was scaffolded
01:33:01.090 --> 01:33:02.740
across sixth, seventh, and eight.
01:33:04.210 --> 01:33:09.210
Then in eighth grade, staff
proposes striking 6B, 38
01:33:15.160 --> 01:33:20.160
and replacing it with
use the periodic table
01:33:22.270 --> 01:33:26.193
to identify the atoms
involved in chemical reactions.
01:33:35.370 --> 01:33:37.350
And to your question, Mr. Cortez,
01:33:37.350 --> 01:33:40.400
if we were to strike
this and replace it,
01:33:40.400 --> 01:33:43.160
it would actually
reduce instructional time
01:33:43.160 --> 01:33:47.070
because teachers wouldn't
have to go into atomic structure
01:33:47.070 --> 01:33:49.995
and they don't think it's
developmentally appropriate yet.
01:33:49.995 --> 01:33:53.120
So as opposed to
just deleting the entire thing,
01:33:53.120 --> 01:33:55.020
because it wasn't taught,
01:33:55.020 --> 01:33:58.820
you're saying by adding
six eighth grade language,
01:33:58.820 --> 01:34:00.398
it reduces time?
01:34:00.398 --> 01:34:01.693
'Cause it sounds like it adds time.
01:34:03.794 --> 01:34:06.294
It seems like it shouldn't
be there to begin with.
01:34:07.130 --> 01:34:09.440
If you were
to delete it entirely,
01:34:09.440 --> 01:34:12.963
yes, that would be the least
amount of instructional time.
01:34:14.450 --> 01:34:17.570
So this does add
some instructional time.
01:34:17.570 --> 01:34:19.430
But one of the things that
our science team has told me
01:34:19.430 --> 01:34:21.903
is these are concepts
that are already addressed,
01:34:22.883 --> 01:34:27.357
it's being clearer and
including it in the standards.
01:34:29.740 --> 01:34:32.446
Members, I need clarify
with the parliamentarian,
01:34:32.446 --> 01:34:33.300
we can do this in mass?
01:34:33.300 --> 01:34:36.720
All these changes in one process?
01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:37.553
Ms. Hardy.
01:34:39.140 --> 01:34:40.730
I would be in
agreement with this.
01:34:40.730 --> 01:34:42.910
I think the language is clearer
01:34:42.910 --> 01:34:45.160
and it has the scaffolding effect
01:34:45.160 --> 01:34:47.360
that the teachers were
concerned about not having
01:34:47.360 --> 01:34:51.030
going from sixth to 10th
grade without being introduced
01:34:51.030 --> 01:34:53.390
any more to the periodic tables.
01:34:53.390 --> 01:34:57.123
And this would help
alleviate that situation.
01:34:58.420 --> 01:35:00.253
Members, any
other discussion?
01:35:02.290 --> 01:35:04.360
So do we have the motion?
Yes.
01:35:05.310 --> 01:35:08.120
We have it seconded?
Second.
01:35:08.120 --> 01:35:09.170
We have a motion and a second.
01:35:09.170 --> 01:35:11.940
Is there any further
discussion on this item?
01:35:11.940 --> 01:35:12.773
Mr. Hickman.
01:35:13.690 --> 01:35:16.020
Shelly, I don't
know if you can answer this
01:35:16.020 --> 01:35:17.891
or if you need to phone a friend.
01:35:17.891 --> 01:35:19.810
So like the seventh grade, it would be,
01:35:19.810 --> 01:35:22.600
you'd get the formula CO2
and you'd look on the table
01:35:22.600 --> 01:35:24.990
and see C is carbon and O is oxygen.
01:35:24.990 --> 01:35:28.820
And then eighth grade, you'd
see the burning of methane
01:35:28.820 --> 01:35:31.120
and you'd see what methane was made of
01:35:31.120 --> 01:35:33.010
and the oxygen and so on.
01:35:33.010 --> 01:35:33.980
That's the idea?
01:35:33.980 --> 01:35:34.813
Yes, sir.
01:35:34.813 --> 01:35:36.520
And you've just expended my knowledge
01:35:36.520 --> 01:35:37.440
of chemistry right there,
01:35:37.440 --> 01:35:40.330
but yes, I knew enough
to know that that is correct.
01:35:40.330 --> 01:35:43.247
That's about mine too.
01:35:52.147 --> 01:35:53.686
Members, any others?
01:35:53.686 --> 01:35:54.742
Ms. Perez-Diaz?
01:35:54.742 --> 01:35:55.746
Thank you, Chair.
01:35:55.746 --> 01:35:56.902
So just for clarification.
01:35:56.902 --> 01:35:59.100
So I don't remember
how the motion was read,
01:35:59.100 --> 01:36:02.100
but we're taking up the new B
01:36:02.100 --> 01:36:05.720
and then the shifted C, D and
E altogether, is that correct?
01:36:05.720 --> 01:36:07.490
Everything that
was proposed by staff
01:36:07.490 --> 01:36:08.530
will be done in one notion.
01:36:08.530 --> 01:36:09.931
Perfect.
01:36:09.931 --> 01:36:11.264
Okay, thank you.
01:36:15.197 --> 01:36:17.103
All right, any
other discussion?
01:36:18.258 --> 01:36:19.408
Is there any objection?
01:36:20.970 --> 01:36:22.620
Hearing none, the motion carries.
01:36:32.170 --> 01:36:35.573
Any other amendments to
science grades K through eight?
01:36:37.890 --> 01:36:39.485
Mr. Chairman.
01:36:39.485 --> 01:36:44.040
I believe that Dr. Bell-Metereau
is intended to make one.
01:36:44.040 --> 01:36:46.497
And she she's trying to work to get it.
01:36:46.497 --> 01:36:48.460
But I think it's just
a small introduction
01:36:48.460 --> 01:36:50.963
in the minute to the introduction?
01:36:53.375 --> 01:36:58.220
I did send it
before noon, but Ms. Lenny
01:36:58.220 --> 01:37:00.253
is seeing if that's available.
01:37:02.780 --> 01:37:07.363
I apologize for not having
at all ready to distribute.
01:37:10.354 --> 01:37:12.360
Chairman,
if it would help at all,
01:37:12.360 --> 01:37:15.590
I believe what Dr. Bell-Metereau
is referring to is language
01:37:15.590 --> 01:37:17.303
that we did post online.
01:37:18.519 --> 01:37:22.230
So if you go to the TEA website,
01:37:23.460 --> 01:37:27.660
let's see if I can do this successfully.
01:37:27.660 --> 01:37:30.900
Under academics, you'll see
Texas Essential Knowledge
01:37:30.900 --> 01:37:32.953
and Skills review and revision.
01:37:35.630 --> 01:37:36.800
And then from there,
01:37:36.800 --> 01:37:41.773
you'll wanna scroll down until
you see Science TEKS Review.
01:37:44.120 --> 01:37:47.110
And then you'll see
two links on that page.
01:37:47.110 --> 01:37:49.930
One says additional amendments,
01:37:49.930 --> 01:37:52.970
and you can correct me if
I'm wrong, Dr. Bell-Metereau,
01:37:52.970 --> 01:37:54.620
but I think that's your language.
01:37:56.130 --> 01:37:57.580
Yes, it is.
01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:01.914
So clarifying.
01:38:01.914 --> 01:38:03.440
There's a lot of green, new language,
01:38:03.440 --> 01:38:07.716
red, deleted, but is this the
same thing in each grade?
01:38:07.716 --> 01:38:09.463
So we need to look at
at one time essentially?
01:38:11.610 --> 01:38:13.400
It is the
same in each grade.
01:38:13.400 --> 01:38:15.190
It's just, it's one change.
01:38:15.190 --> 01:38:20.190
It's a description of the
methods of investigation.
01:38:24.070 --> 01:38:29.070
And this was suggested by constituent
01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:32.830
and I am not a scientist,
but it looked to me
01:38:32.830 --> 01:38:36.463
like it was offering
valuable definitions.
01:38:38.997 --> 01:38:43.997
And I know that it's not
something that would be tested,
01:38:44.120 --> 01:38:46.570
but it would be useful
information in each,
01:38:46.570 --> 01:38:48.580
at each grade level.
01:38:48.580 --> 01:38:51.010
So Chairman,
I just wanna clarify,
01:38:51.010 --> 01:38:52.530
so that is true of language
01:38:52.530 --> 01:38:53.730
that would be in the introduction.
01:38:53.730 --> 01:38:56.810
But this document also shows amendments
01:38:56.810 --> 01:38:58.453
to student expectations.
01:38:59.500 --> 01:39:02.240
So I don't know if the
intent is only to look
01:39:02.240 --> 01:39:04.620
at the language and the
introductions or everything,
01:39:04.620 --> 01:39:06.880
but when you see, for
example, knowledge and skills,
01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:11.280
that's when you start getting
into student expectations.
01:39:11.280 --> 01:39:13.330
And
that would involve
01:39:13.330 --> 01:39:15.360
additional class time?
01:39:15.360 --> 01:39:16.490
Right, all of those things
01:39:16.490 --> 01:39:18.090
that we've been discussing, yes.
01:39:21.150 --> 01:39:26.040
Well, I am
an inexperienced member.
01:39:26.040 --> 01:39:27.140
I must confess.
01:39:27.140 --> 01:39:32.140
And so, I do not wanna
add additional class time.
01:39:32.410 --> 01:39:36.220
I don't know if there's any
way to include any of this
01:39:36.220 --> 01:39:41.220
in an introductory place
that is not requiring testing
01:39:41.730 --> 01:39:44.223
of these particular definitions.
01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:48.230
So my understanding
that it's your intent to offer
01:39:48.230 --> 01:39:50.200
and amendment strictly
to the introductions
01:39:50.200 --> 01:39:52.140
and not for any of the
knowledge and skills
01:39:52.140 --> 01:39:53.850
that's on this document?
01:39:53.850 --> 01:39:55.110
Yes.
01:39:55.110 --> 01:39:57.453
And I don't know if that's kosher.
01:39:58.330 --> 01:39:59.250
It's your amendment.
01:39:59.250 --> 01:40:00.963
So you get to decide.
01:40:03.870 --> 01:40:05.333
I can't find it.
01:40:12.990 --> 01:40:13.823
I'm not even.
01:40:17.480 --> 01:40:19.347
This is gonna take forever.
01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:34.690
Mr. Chairman?
Mr. Maynard.
01:40:34.690 --> 01:40:36.640
Would it be
permissible for the full board
01:40:36.640 --> 01:40:38.990
to just to stand at ease
to allow her to get that?
01:40:38.990 --> 01:40:41.740
If there's no objection,
we'll stand at ease.
01:41:35.373 --> 01:41:38.317
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
01:41:38.317 --> 01:41:41.650
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
01:42:24.417 --> 01:42:25.440
On the screen.
01:42:25.440 --> 01:42:30.040
So the amendment on the
screen and the introductions
01:42:30.040 --> 01:42:32.910
in section A and section
three is just confirming
01:42:32.910 --> 01:42:35.230
that that's your motion.
01:42:35.230 --> 01:42:36.410
Yes.
Okay.
01:42:36.410 --> 01:42:37.910
Do we have a second?
01:42:38.765 --> 01:42:40.466
We have a motion and a second.
01:42:40.466 --> 01:42:41.880
You wanna speak to your motion?
01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:43.561
You did a little bit,
01:42:43.561 --> 01:42:44.477
but is there anything
else you'd like to add?
01:42:46.990 --> 01:42:50.063
I would like
to add that I think the work
01:42:50.063 --> 01:42:54.420
that the teachers did in
the work groups is excellent.
01:42:54.420 --> 01:42:57.580
These revisions were recommended to me
01:42:57.580 --> 01:43:01.770
and I'm not a scientist,
but I am an English teacher.
01:43:01.770 --> 01:43:06.210
And I think that having
clear definitions is useful
01:43:06.210 --> 01:43:08.830
for everyone as a foundation.
01:43:08.830 --> 01:43:12.800
So this introduction gives
those clear definitions,
01:43:12.800 --> 01:43:16.590
wordsmith by both a scientist
and an English teacher.
01:43:16.590 --> 01:43:21.253
And so I believe that they
are legitimate additions
01:43:22.290 --> 01:43:25.010
that will not add extra teaching time,
01:43:25.010 --> 01:43:27.260
but will be useful to teachers.
01:43:27.260 --> 01:43:32.260
And therefore, I recommend
that we include these definitions
01:43:33.730 --> 01:43:38.730
and it is not at all, a political
or complicated addition,
01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:41.623
but I do believe it is valuable.
01:43:42.671 --> 01:43:44.460
I have a question
to either the maker
01:43:44.460 --> 01:43:45.610
of the motion or the staff,
01:43:45.610 --> 01:43:48.491
maybe either one that could chime in.
01:43:48.491 --> 01:43:51.660
Would this keep us vertically
aligned K through high school
01:43:51.660 --> 01:43:55.230
or that cause a misalignment?
01:43:55.230 --> 01:43:57.839
It would
create a misalignment
01:43:57.839 --> 01:44:00.930
with the introductions
that you've adopted
01:44:00.930 --> 01:44:03.853
for the nine high school courses.
01:44:06.150 --> 01:44:07.630
Could you explain
01:44:07.630 --> 01:44:10.140
how it would create misalignment?
01:44:10.140 --> 01:44:12.910
The features of this that
would create misalignment?
01:44:12.910 --> 01:44:14.570
The whole thing, or?
01:44:14.570 --> 01:44:17.280
All of the things
in green are not included
01:44:17.280 --> 01:44:19.890
in the introduction for the
nine high school courses
01:44:19.890 --> 01:44:22.140
that have already been
adopted by this board.
01:44:25.320 --> 01:44:30.210
And is there
ever any chance of making
01:44:30.210 --> 01:44:32.700
that kind of change in the high school?
01:44:32.700 --> 01:44:33.980
I realized that the high school
01:44:33.980 --> 01:44:36.650
is already completed and approved.
01:44:36.650 --> 01:44:41.650
But would it be possible
to return at some point
01:44:42.160 --> 01:44:46.770
to the high school curriculum
to help with alignment?
01:44:46.770 --> 01:44:48.850
Ms. Bev, Dr. Bell-Metereau,
there's no intention
01:44:48.850 --> 01:44:51.633
from the chair to reopen
high school science.
01:44:52.630 --> 01:44:55.180
Okay,
then I withdraw the motion.
01:44:56.056 --> 01:44:58.100
Is there any
objection to the withdrawal
01:44:58.100 --> 01:44:58.933
of the motion?
01:44:58.933 --> 01:44:59.940
I object.
You object.
01:44:59.940 --> 01:45:02.403
Mr. Hickman objection now.
01:45:02.403 --> 01:45:03.420
Is that on the withdrawal?
01:45:03.420 --> 01:45:04.253
Yeah.
Okay.
01:45:04.253 --> 01:45:08.510
So at this point in
time, we will take a vote.
01:45:08.510 --> 01:45:12.500
All those who are in favor
of allowing Dr. Bell-Metereau
01:45:12.500 --> 01:45:16.063
to withdraw our motion,
show by raising your hand.
01:45:17.930 --> 01:45:20.220
This is to allow Dr. Bell-Metereau
01:45:20.220 --> 01:45:22.043
to withdraw the objection.
01:45:24.271 --> 01:45:25.767
To withdraw the motion.
01:45:25.767 --> 01:45:30.600
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.
01:45:31.670 --> 01:45:33.690
Lower your hands, please.
01:45:33.690 --> 01:45:35.573
All those opposed by the same sign?
01:45:40.640 --> 01:45:43.780
Eight and favor and two against.
01:45:43.780 --> 01:45:46.170
So the motion from Dr. Bell-Metereau
01:45:46.170 --> 01:45:48.300
to withdraw her the motion carries.
01:45:48.300 --> 01:45:49.960
The withdrawal.
01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:54.073
Any other motions or I'm
sorry, any other amendments?
01:45:56.831 --> 01:45:58.131
I think it's out of order.
01:46:00.950 --> 01:46:03.430
(indistinct)
I would suggest
01:46:03.430 --> 01:46:07.334
that it is (indistinct).
01:46:07.334 --> 01:46:09.900
Parliamentarian said
since we didn't vote on it,
01:46:09.900 --> 01:46:12.030
it would not be out of order.
01:46:12.030 --> 01:46:12.863
It would be in order.
01:46:13.890 --> 01:46:15.740
I'll make the same motion.
Okay.
01:46:17.910 --> 01:46:19.874
Motion has been made.
01:46:19.874 --> 01:46:21.695
Do we have a second?
Second.
01:46:21.695 --> 01:46:22.790
We have a motion and a second.
01:46:22.790 --> 01:46:23.950
You'd like to speak to your motion?
01:46:23.950 --> 01:46:24.783
Sure.
01:46:24.783 --> 01:46:25.640
Just one quick change,
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:27.890
I think we need a
comma after correlative
01:46:27.890 --> 01:46:29.563
in the third line in A.
01:46:31.011 --> 01:46:36.011
But I think this is a valuable input
01:46:36.140 --> 01:46:37.700
from a scientific perspective.
01:46:37.700 --> 01:46:40.610
I have problems with the
vertical alignment issue
01:46:40.610 --> 01:46:43.090
because otherwise, we
can never change anything
01:46:43.090 --> 01:46:44.690
because it will always
be out of alignment
01:46:44.690 --> 01:46:45.890
when we make a change somewhere.
01:46:45.890 --> 01:46:47.743
It's not in alignment somewhere else.
01:46:49.160 --> 01:46:51.150
So I think the issue here
will be the middle school kids,
01:46:51.150 --> 01:46:53.730
although a little more
than the high school kids.
01:46:53.730 --> 01:46:55.780
But other than that, I
don't see it as an issue.
01:46:55.780 --> 01:46:57.530
And I am in favor of these changes.
01:47:01.930 --> 01:47:03.325
I would
like to comment--
01:47:03.325 --> 01:47:05.319
Is there a discussion,
Dr. Bell-Metereau?
01:47:05.319 --> 01:47:06.152
I would
like to comment on that.
01:47:06.152 --> 01:47:10.160
That is something that
has troubled me as well,
01:47:10.160 --> 01:47:15.140
because I have heard
from a number of scientists
01:47:15.140 --> 01:47:19.160
that they do see some issues
with the high school science.
01:47:20.620 --> 01:47:25.093
And I have been wondering
if we can ever seek to make
01:47:26.500 --> 01:47:30.053
some changes in high school science.
01:47:31.040 --> 01:47:36.040
Because I think that the
K through eight is actually
01:47:36.130 --> 01:47:39.500
a better curriculum having been given
01:47:39.500 --> 01:47:41.350
a little bit more time to work on it.
01:47:42.578 --> 01:47:43.411
No, I would say the fact
01:47:43.411 --> 01:47:44.244
that since I've got on the board,
01:47:44.244 --> 01:47:46.530
we did English language
arts for a two-year process.
01:47:46.530 --> 01:47:47.660
And after the completion of that,
01:47:47.660 --> 01:47:50.010
there were still those who
wanna make additional changes
01:47:50.010 --> 01:47:51.157
even after two years.
01:47:51.157 --> 01:47:54.070
And the same happens
in each of the subjects
01:47:54.070 --> 01:47:54.903
that we went through.
01:47:54.903 --> 01:47:59.460
I think there's always,
even after we spend years,
01:47:59.460 --> 01:48:01.240
if not sometimes two
years on the subject,
01:48:01.240 --> 01:48:03.050
there's always additional changes.
01:48:03.050 --> 01:48:07.570
Oftentimes, those changes
can require additional content,
01:48:07.570 --> 01:48:09.430
additional student expectations,
01:48:09.430 --> 01:48:12.368
which leads to additional
instruction material.
01:48:12.368 --> 01:48:14.590
So I'm not disagreeing in the fact
01:48:14.590 --> 01:48:16.280
that there may be a valid argument
01:48:16.280 --> 01:48:18.870
about adding additional content,
01:48:18.870 --> 01:48:20.420
but I think it's a slippery slope,
01:48:20.420 --> 01:48:23.720
not the case here because
it's in the introductions.
01:48:23.720 --> 01:48:26.560
But just generally about
reopening subjects.
01:48:26.560 --> 01:48:28.440
I know there's math,
people want math reopened,
01:48:28.440 --> 01:48:31.350
there's English people and
English reopened and so forth.
01:48:31.350 --> 01:48:32.852
So that's a concern.
01:48:32.852 --> 01:48:35.733
Not that I'm telling you
01:48:35.733 --> 01:48:38.037
that your assertions are
false or the needs to change it.
01:48:38.037 --> 01:48:40.140
And it's just more of the process.
01:48:40.140 --> 01:48:41.220
Mr. Hickman.
01:48:41.220 --> 01:48:42.250
And just to be clear,
01:48:42.250 --> 01:48:44.110
I'm not asking to reopen high school.
01:48:44.110 --> 01:48:46.600
I don't think we need
to, and it's not before us.
01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:48.370
What we have before
us is K through eight.
01:48:48.370 --> 01:48:50.870
And I think these amendments
make K through eight better.
01:48:50.870 --> 01:48:53.641
And in 10 years, we
can look at high school.
01:48:53.641 --> 01:48:55.790
Any other
discussion on this item?
01:48:55.790 --> 01:48:57.450
Dr. Ellis, just to clarify.
01:48:57.450 --> 01:48:59.210
My understanding of these amendments,
01:48:59.210 --> 01:49:00.983
they would only apply to K five?
01:49:09.050 --> 01:49:09.990
Further clarification
01:49:09.990 --> 01:49:12.240
is what you're seeing
on the screen as stated
01:49:13.106 --> 01:49:16.723
to be changes from
grades K through five.
01:49:17.790 --> 01:49:19.190
Any further discussion?
01:49:19.190 --> 01:49:20.023
Mr. Cortez.
01:49:21.110 --> 01:49:23.920
What is the intent
of the maker of the motion
01:49:23.920 --> 01:49:25.620
all the way through middle school?
01:49:28.470 --> 01:49:29.303
No, sorry.
01:49:29.303 --> 01:49:30.136
I misspoke.
01:49:30.136 --> 01:49:31.090
We have K through eight before us,
01:49:31.090 --> 01:49:32.940
but this amendment is K through five.
01:49:37.610 --> 01:49:40.803
Explanation again,
I'm lost in this whole thing.
01:49:42.763 --> 01:49:45.140
We had a testifier
01:49:45.140 --> 01:49:46.570
a few days ago talk about this.
01:49:46.570 --> 01:49:49.600
This is just adding correlative,
01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:52.840
which is comparing different
sets of data with each other,
01:49:52.840 --> 01:49:56.450
adding inferences, adding and comparing
01:49:56.450 --> 01:49:58.440
observations with inferences.
01:49:58.440 --> 01:50:00.893
So it's just more about
the scientific process.
01:50:02.390 --> 01:50:04.440
I don't know if Dr. Bell-Metereau,
01:50:04.440 --> 01:50:06.754
you have anything else to add.
01:50:06.754 --> 01:50:09.232
I think
that that states it well.
01:50:09.232 --> 01:50:12.290
And it also gives a one more definition
01:50:12.290 --> 01:50:15.380
that is mentioned actually.
01:50:15.380 --> 01:50:18.170
These words are mentioned
in the rest of the document.
01:50:18.170 --> 01:50:21.640
And so I think it lays out definitions
01:50:21.640 --> 01:50:26.563
a little bit more clearly of
those essential practices.
01:50:30.120 --> 01:50:31.770
All right, members.
01:50:31.770 --> 01:50:32.897
Any other discussion on this item?
01:50:34.310 --> 01:50:36.930
So I would ask all those in favor
of Mr. Hickman's amendment
01:50:36.930 --> 01:50:38.773
to show by raising your hand.
01:50:44.030 --> 01:50:45.780
Ms. Davis, is your hand up or down?
01:50:49.796 --> 01:50:53.280
11, 12.
01:50:53.280 --> 01:50:54.113
Please lower your hands.
01:50:54.113 --> 01:50:55.820
All those opposed by the same sign.
01:50:58.380 --> 01:51:01.070
We've got 12 in favor and two against.
01:51:01.070 --> 01:51:02.970
So the motion carries.
01:51:02.970 --> 01:51:03.870
Mr. Hickman.
01:51:03.870 --> 01:51:04.703
If I could comment,
01:51:04.703 --> 01:51:05.940
it's really Dr. Bell-Metereau.
01:51:05.940 --> 01:51:09.190
I just picked it up off the
trash and threw it back in.
01:51:12.416 --> 01:51:14.566
(laughs)
Thank you, Will.
01:51:15.990 --> 01:51:18.050
Any other amendments?
01:51:18.050 --> 01:51:19.000
I have a comment.
01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:22.103
So we just did, this
is just K five, right?
01:51:29.420 --> 01:51:33.523
Any other amendments
for grades K through eight?
01:51:34.410 --> 01:51:35.243
Ms. Perez.
01:51:38.160 --> 01:51:40.570
I do have one for grade six
01:51:40.570 --> 01:51:44.903
and I am sending it over
to our parliamentarian now.
01:51:57.930 --> 01:51:59.663
Is it long or short?
01:51:59.663 --> 01:52:02.277
Something you can
speak to or do you need?
01:52:02.277 --> 01:52:03.133
You can read it, or?
01:52:03.133 --> 01:52:04.596
I can read it, yes.
01:52:04.596 --> 01:52:05.459
Go ahead, (indistinct).
01:52:05.459 --> 01:52:08.913
it is grade six, 6C.
01:52:24.380 --> 01:52:25.503
If you would.
01:52:32.840 --> 01:52:33.840
Thank you.
01:52:33.840 --> 01:52:38.840
If we could strike, "classify
and replace" with "identify."
01:52:43.680 --> 01:52:48.087
Elements on the periodic
table, as metals, nonmetals,
01:52:48.087 --> 01:52:53.087
strike "and" after metalloids, comma,
01:52:55.050 --> 01:52:57.573
and rare earth elements based on,
01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:07.250
their physical properties.
01:53:07.250 --> 01:53:09.997
Add "and uses."
01:53:15.070 --> 01:53:17.073
Scratching everything in yellow.
01:53:21.950 --> 01:53:24.640
The rationale for this as it
maintains rare earth elements.
01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:25.473
Oh, I'm sorry.
01:53:25.473 --> 01:53:26.306
Thank you.
01:53:26.306 --> 01:53:27.440
We have a second?
01:53:27.440 --> 01:53:28.803
We have a motion and a second.
01:53:28.803 --> 01:53:29.779
Go ahead.
Thank you.
01:53:29.779 --> 01:53:34.030
It maintains rare earth
elements and somewhat reduces
01:53:34.030 --> 01:53:38.210
the estimated week
of instructional time,
01:53:38.210 --> 01:53:41.350
but I believe it gets you
to where you want to go,
01:53:41.350 --> 01:53:42.560
but no, it doesn't.
01:53:42.560 --> 01:53:43.530
Okay, fantastic.
01:53:43.530 --> 01:53:45.773
We'll all be less than happy once again.
01:53:47.330 --> 01:53:49.600
Ms. Hardy, would
you like to speak to this?
01:53:49.600 --> 01:53:52.960
I like the
term of modern life
01:53:52.960 --> 01:53:55.470
simply because rare earth elements
01:53:55.470 --> 01:54:00.050
have not been emphasized
in the past because people
01:54:00.050 --> 01:54:03.460
didn't realize how significant
they were and they become,
01:54:03.460 --> 01:54:06.540
if you talk about the
electric car, the battery,
01:54:06.540 --> 01:54:08.600
all the stuff, the
chips, all that stuff,
01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:10.720
that's what's made rare earth minerals
01:54:10.720 --> 01:54:12.500
have their place in the sun.
01:54:12.500 --> 01:54:14.440
And so I just liked
the word modern life.
01:54:14.440 --> 01:54:16.440
You could say everything you've said,
01:54:16.440 --> 01:54:18.843
but I liked the word
modern life in there.
01:54:22.220 --> 01:54:26.210
Ms. Kay, I misspoke
where I added and uses.
01:54:26.210 --> 01:54:31.210
I meant to say and
importance to modern life.
01:54:33.300 --> 01:54:34.600
Thank you.
01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:36.483
Thank you for catching my error.
01:54:41.910 --> 01:54:43.993
Any other discussion?
01:54:44.910 --> 01:54:47.710
Now that we fixed the
typographical error on the screen.
01:54:49.700 --> 01:54:51.270
Any other discussion?
01:54:51.270 --> 01:54:52.420
Is there any objection?
01:54:53.890 --> 01:54:55.453
Hearing none, the motion carries.
01:54:56.586 --> 01:54:58.624
Is there any other amendments?
01:54:58.624 --> 01:54:59.457
Ms. Little.
01:55:00.467 --> 01:55:03.120
I think I wanna
go back to what we did
01:55:03.120 --> 01:55:05.440
on the introduction on the K five.
01:55:05.440 --> 01:55:07.670
If vertical alignment is a concern,
01:55:07.670 --> 01:55:10.030
then I think we need to
add that same language
01:55:10.030 --> 01:55:12.610
to the introduction of six, eight.
01:55:12.610 --> 01:55:15.470
So I moved that we take the language
01:55:15.470 --> 01:55:17.240
for the introduction from K five
01:55:17.240 --> 01:55:20.964
and also add it to the
introduction of six, eight.
01:55:20.964 --> 01:55:22.381
Second.
01:55:23.535 --> 01:55:26.913
A motion and two seconds.
01:55:26.913 --> 01:55:30.007
One more emphatic than the other.
01:55:30.007 --> 01:55:30.840
I have a question.
01:55:30.840 --> 01:55:32.830
I mean, I think if we
have a lack of alignment,
01:55:32.830 --> 01:55:35.030
you have the same lack of alignment.
01:55:35.030 --> 01:55:36.400
It's just whether it
lacks gonna be K five
01:55:36.400 --> 01:55:37.500
and then sixth for high school
01:55:37.500 --> 01:55:40.220
or whether it's K through
eight and then high school.
01:55:40.220 --> 01:55:43.360
So I don't know if it
really solves the problem
01:55:43.360 --> 01:55:47.073
or that not the problem
solves the concern, but.
01:55:47.960 --> 01:55:50.480
Well, it may
not solve the concern
01:55:50.480 --> 01:55:53.330
with high school, but at
least we've got K eight aligned.
01:55:54.560 --> 01:55:55.563
That's my thinking.
01:56:00.290 --> 01:56:02.470
Okay, we did get,
I know we got seconds.
01:56:02.470 --> 01:56:04.370
I don't want to that one again.
01:56:04.370 --> 01:56:06.703
So any further discussion on this one?
01:56:08.220 --> 01:56:09.053
All right.
01:56:09.053 --> 01:56:11.900
All those in favor of
changing the introductions now
01:56:11.900 --> 01:56:14.803
in six through eight
show by raising your hand.
01:56:20.240 --> 01:56:21.822
12.
01:56:21.822 --> 01:56:22.655
Lower your hands, please.
01:56:22.655 --> 01:56:23.673
All those opposed by the same sign.
01:56:25.050 --> 01:56:27.710
12 in favor and zero
against, the motion carries.
01:56:27.710 --> 01:56:30.333
Is there any other amendments?
01:56:33.150 --> 01:56:34.120
All right.
01:56:34.120 --> 01:56:35.733
Seeing and hearing none.
01:56:37.032 --> 01:56:38.690
And hearing no further
debate on the motion
01:56:38.690 --> 01:56:41.100
that the Committee of
the Full Board recommend
01:56:41.100 --> 01:56:42.920
to the State Board of
Education that they approve

Is necessary in childhood effective date
01:58:21.120 --> 01:58:24.643
20 days after filing as
adopted in the Texas Register.
01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:27.220
You get that?
01:58:27.220 --> 01:58:28.053
All right.
01:58:28.053 --> 01:58:29.476
I hope you did.
01:58:29.476 --> 01:58:32.983
I would ask all those in favor
to please raise your hand.
01:58:38.780 --> 01:58:40.260
Lower your hands, please.
01:58:40.260 --> 01:58:42.540
All those opposed by same sign.
01:58:42.540 --> 01:58:44.300
There is 14 in favor, zero against.
01:58:44.300 --> 01:58:47.140
So there is 2/3 in favor
in their recommendation
01:58:47.140 --> 01:58:50.290
will be made to the
State Board of Education.
01:58:50.290 --> 01:58:52.220
Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Maynard.
01:58:52.220 --> 01:58:53.747
So, okay.
01:58:53.747 --> 01:58:54.900
What's the procedure
moving forward on this?
01:58:54.900 --> 01:58:55.733
So the procedures,
01:58:55.733 --> 01:58:59.510
I understand that the earliest
that could be accommodated
01:58:59.510 --> 01:59:01.140
through the Texas Open Meetings Act
01:59:01.140 --> 01:59:04.890
and the posting deadlines
was December 1st.
01:59:04.890 --> 01:59:06.150
So at that point in time,
01:59:06.150 --> 01:59:10.510
we can convene a meeting
that may take place virtually
01:59:10.510 --> 01:59:13.930
as long as the presiding
officer's in a public location.
01:59:13.930 --> 01:59:16.798
So I will work to make
sure that we have,
01:59:16.798 --> 01:59:17.850
the presiding officer
does not have to be me.
01:59:17.850 --> 01:59:19.060
It could be someone else.
01:59:19.060 --> 01:59:21.313
Mr. Maynard, could be you theoretically.
01:59:22.153 --> 01:59:23.310
(laughter)
01:59:23.310 --> 01:59:26.233
And yeah, this is it.
01:59:27.140 --> 01:59:28.920
And I'll show you
where I'll hide the candy
01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:29.810
in my desk over here.
01:59:29.810 --> 01:59:32.180
So at that point in time,
01:59:32.180 --> 01:59:34.530
we can convene a
meeting in which members
01:59:34.530 --> 01:59:36.800
could participate virtually.
01:59:36.800 --> 01:59:39.050
Members my age on the board or older,
01:59:39.050 --> 01:59:42.160
remember we did this
not too long ago in ELR?
01:59:42.160 --> 01:59:44.510
Where we, I think just
got to the end and staff
01:59:44.510 --> 01:59:46.810
need a little more time for some edits.
01:59:46.810 --> 01:59:50.200
And we actually had to
come back at that point in time
01:59:51.120 --> 01:59:54.390
under what we have
now for virtual meetings,
01:59:54.390 --> 01:59:56.340
we don't one person has to come back,
01:59:56.340 --> 01:59:57.740
but not the whole board.
01:59:57.740 --> 02:00:02.733
So probably December 1st,
if there's not any conflicts.
02:00:03.790 --> 02:00:05.117
At that point in time,
02:00:05.117 --> 02:00:08.740
I think all the amendments
were made that need to be made.
02:00:08.740 --> 02:00:12.750
This will sit in
storage until that date.
02:00:12.750 --> 02:00:17.750
And then we will convene
to do our committee,
02:00:17.750 --> 02:00:19.510
to do our State Board of Education vote
02:00:19.510 --> 02:00:21.950
on second reading and final adoption.
02:00:21.950 --> 02:00:22.783
Is that clear?
02:00:24.100 --> 02:00:25.200
Any questions on that?
02:00:26.280 --> 02:00:27.113
Okay.
02:00:28.060 --> 02:00:28.893
All right.
02:00:28.893 --> 02:00:30.100
So if there is no
further business to come
02:00:30.100 --> 02:00:31.820
before the Committee of the Full Board,
02:00:31.820 --> 02:00:33.600
we are adjourned as a
Committee of the Full Board
02:00:33.600 --> 02:00:36.300
and we will reconvene as
the State Board of Education.
02:00:37.620 --> 02:00:40.230
So as we reconvene as a
State Board of Education,
02:00:40.230 --> 02:00:42.900
we will move to the approval
of the Consent Agenda.
02:00:42.900 --> 02:00:45.020
So the next business
in order is the approval
02:00:45.020 --> 02:00:46.780
of the Consent Agenda.
02:00:46.780 --> 02:00:48.400
Oh, we do have testifiers.
02:00:48.400 --> 02:00:49.467
I always missed that.
02:00:49.467 --> 02:00:51.600
All right, Steph.
02:00:51.600 --> 02:00:53.403
Would you call the testifiers?
02:01:14.400 --> 02:01:17.500
Deborah Simmons, Kara bell,
02:01:17.500 --> 02:01:20.303
Sophia Lopez, Poly Plemmons.
02:01:29.650 --> 02:01:30.563
Deborah Simmons.
02:01:33.300 --> 02:01:35.500
Hello, my name is
Deborah Simmons.
02:01:35.500 --> 02:01:37.480
I spent 10 years in
the computer industry
02:01:37.480 --> 02:01:39.060
before starting a family.
02:01:39.060 --> 02:01:41.690
My work included technical
support and systems engineer
02:01:41.690 --> 02:01:43.190
for IBM Unix products,
02:01:43.190 --> 02:01:45.490
sales and consulting
for Anderson Consulting
02:01:45.490 --> 02:01:48.410
and manufacturing development
engineer for Hewlett-Packard.
02:01:48.410 --> 02:01:50.780
My enterprise systems
network technologies
02:01:50.780 --> 02:01:53.420
and supply chain skills became useful
02:01:53.420 --> 02:01:56.860
when I learned about the
pornographic and obscene content
02:01:56.860 --> 02:01:59.300
in school online resources.
02:01:59.300 --> 02:02:02.800
This content includes
graphic images, explicit texts,
02:02:02.800 --> 02:02:05.290
and hot links to pornographic materials.
02:02:05.290 --> 02:02:06.680
The majority of skills have,
02:02:06.680 --> 02:02:10.060
or schools have network
web content filters
02:02:10.060 --> 02:02:13.550
for inappropriate searches
and websites in compliance
02:02:13.550 --> 02:02:18.030
with Children's Internet
Protection Act also known as CIPA.
02:02:18.030 --> 02:02:21.670
However, once students pass
through a school network filter
02:02:21.670 --> 02:02:24.110
by accessing an allowed resource,
02:02:24.110 --> 02:02:26.120
the school network
filter stops filtering
02:02:26.120 --> 02:02:29.930
for inappropriate content
embedded in that resource.
02:02:29.930 --> 02:02:34.260
A year ago, the SBOE passed
the 87th legislature priorities
02:02:34.260 --> 02:02:38.220
including require vendors
for K through 12 Texas schools
02:02:38.220 --> 02:02:40.550
and libraries to filter
inappropriate content
02:02:40.550 --> 02:02:43.450
such as obscene and
pornographic images for minors.
02:02:43.450 --> 02:02:45.840
Representative Swanson
filed the legislation
02:02:45.840 --> 02:02:48.980
and appropriations writers
to require CIPA compliance
02:02:48.980 --> 02:02:51.090
for text quest online resources
02:02:51.090 --> 02:02:54.770
provided through the ESC20 and T slack.
02:02:54.770 --> 02:02:57.750
The legislature passed through
other appropriations writer
02:02:57.750 --> 02:02:59.970
to require the SBOE to ensure
02:02:59.970 --> 02:03:01.450
that any instructional materials
02:03:01.450 --> 02:03:04.130
and technology purchased
using funds dispersed
02:03:04.130 --> 02:03:06.820
from the state instructional
materials and technology fund,
02:03:06.820 --> 02:03:08.650
meet the requirements for CIPA.
02:03:08.650 --> 02:03:11.943
I'm here to follow up on that
and to answer any questions.
02:03:16.550 --> 02:03:17.550
Kara bell.
02:03:33.740 --> 02:03:36.490
Do we have any
other testifiers?
02:03:36.490 --> 02:03:37.533
Is Kara bell here?
02:03:41.000 --> 02:03:42.283
Sophia Lopez.
02:03:54.430 --> 02:03:55.610
Hello, can you hear me?
02:03:55.610 --> 02:03:57.490
Yes.
Okay, great, thank you.
02:03:57.490 --> 02:03:58.323
Good morning.
02:03:58.323 --> 02:03:59.350
My name is Sophia Lopez.
02:03:59.350 --> 02:04:01.540
I was born and raised here in Texas.
02:04:01.540 --> 02:04:05.050
And I'm a proud graduate
of Texas public schools.
02:04:05.050 --> 02:04:08.599
I drove here today to
speak to you all on behalf
02:04:08.599 --> 02:04:10.850
of Greenbrook tenants,
living in Brooklyn, New York.
02:04:10.850 --> 02:04:13.560
And I'm here to tell the
permanent school fund to divest
02:04:13.560 --> 02:04:16.580
from NWN and Greenbrook partners.
02:04:16.580 --> 02:04:19.860
I recently testified at a US
Senate committee hearing
02:04:19.860 --> 02:04:22.310
on private equity
investments in housing,
02:04:22.310 --> 02:04:24.610
and every single thing I've
heard about Greenbrook
02:04:24.610 --> 02:04:26.570
fits the classic profile.
02:04:26.570 --> 02:04:28.590
Huge rent increases, evictions
02:04:28.590 --> 02:04:31.320
and a devastating lack of maintenance.
02:04:31.320 --> 02:04:34.471
This isn't how we should
fund Texas schools.
02:04:34.471 --> 02:04:35.870
Now now, not ever.
02:04:35.870 --> 02:04:38.630
Since 2019, Greenbrook
partners has purchased
02:04:38.630 --> 02:04:41.020
at least 100 properties
in Brooklyn in part
02:04:41.020 --> 02:04:44.230
through an investment from the
Texas Permanent School Fund.
02:04:44.230 --> 02:04:46.800
And the vast majority were
purchased after COVID struck
02:04:46.800 --> 02:04:48.970
in March of 2020.
02:04:48.970 --> 02:04:51.450
Greenbrook model is
buying up multifamily housing
02:04:51.450 --> 02:04:54.520
and immediately sending
non-renewal letters to vacate
02:04:54.520 --> 02:04:57.420
during a pandemic
despite New York state's
02:04:57.420 --> 02:05:00.170
eviction moratorium in
an attempt to push out
02:05:00.170 --> 02:05:02.550
any and all tenants they feel they can,
02:05:02.550 --> 02:05:05.040
whether illegally or legally.
02:05:05.040 --> 02:05:07.050
Greenbrook does not
do basic fact finding
02:05:07.050 --> 02:05:10.080
to determine which
tenants are rent stabilized
02:05:10.080 --> 02:05:11.560
and counts on struggling and families,
02:05:11.560 --> 02:05:14.540
not having the resources
to take Greenbrook to court,
02:05:14.540 --> 02:05:17.830
to fight an eviction Even
if they have a right to stay.
02:05:17.830 --> 02:05:20.000
Their lack of due diligence
leaves Greenbrook
02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:22.400
open to costly lawsuits from tenants
02:05:22.400 --> 02:05:24.120
and the City of New York.
02:05:24.120 --> 02:05:25.770
Greenbrook is currently embroiled
02:05:25.770 --> 02:05:28.750
in multiple of these
lawsuits as we speak.
02:05:28.750 --> 02:05:31.330
For the tenants that don't
leave, Greenbrook raises rent
02:05:31.330 --> 02:05:35.030
by anywhere from 50% to 100% percent.
02:05:35.030 --> 02:05:39.240
Can you imagine paying
an additional $1,300 a month
02:05:39.240 --> 02:05:42.283
for you housing costs, but
your building only gets worse?
02:05:43.850 --> 02:05:46.360
I'm here just to ask you to
reconsider your investment
02:05:46.360 --> 02:05:48.030
with NWN and Greenbrook partners,
02:05:48.030 --> 02:05:49.980
and think of the people
who are being thrown
02:05:49.980 --> 02:05:51.890
out of their homes with your support.
02:05:51.890 --> 02:05:52.723
Thank you.
02:05:56.610 --> 02:05:57.860
Holly Plemmons.
02:06:03.040 --> 02:06:04.240
I'm Holly Plemmons.
02:06:04.240 --> 02:06:06.830
Mother of three children
in Fort Worth ISD.
02:06:06.830 --> 02:06:10.110
I'm here in Austin today
to share with you a practice
02:06:10.110 --> 02:06:12.840
that my children have
been forced to participate in
02:06:12.840 --> 02:06:15.470
without my knowledge or consent.
02:06:15.470 --> 02:06:19.050
Are you aware that Fort
Worth ISD is giving surveys
02:06:19.050 --> 02:06:22.810
most recently, an SEL survey
run on the Panorama app
02:06:22.810 --> 02:06:25.770
to students without
the parents' consent?
02:06:25.770 --> 02:06:27.470
Dr. Stacy Burrell,
02:06:27.470 --> 02:06:29.590
who is the director of Fort Worth ISD's
02:06:29.590 --> 02:06:31.950
Grant Compliance and
Monitoring Department
02:06:31.950 --> 02:06:35.580
informed me that Fort worth
ISD does not agree with me
02:06:35.580 --> 02:06:38.550
that this is a clear violation of PPRA.
02:06:38.550 --> 02:06:41.610
Because parents gave
consent to the surveys
02:06:41.610 --> 02:06:43.420
in the technology agreement.
02:06:43.420 --> 02:06:46.310
If we don't consent to
the technology agreement,
02:06:46.310 --> 02:06:48.710
then our children can't use technology.
02:06:48.710 --> 02:06:49.828
And for our older kids,
02:06:49.828 --> 02:06:53.160
that's where all of their
textbooks and work are.
02:06:53.160 --> 02:06:55.080
To deny the technology agreement
02:06:55.080 --> 02:06:58.640
would be a complete nightmare
for our teachers and students.
02:06:58.640 --> 02:07:00.880
We are forced to opt in to these surveys
02:07:02.166 --> 02:07:05.470
if we want our children
to attend and participate
02:07:05.470 --> 02:07:07.264
in public schools.
02:07:07.264 --> 02:07:08.870
Our parental rights and
the rights of our children
02:07:08.870 --> 02:07:10.450
are being trampled.
02:07:10.450 --> 02:07:12.450
They are collecting data on our children
02:07:13.469 --> 02:07:14.302
and are sharing this data with known
02:07:14.302 --> 02:07:18.560
CRT-based curriculum developers,
and who knows who else?
02:07:18.560 --> 02:07:21.060
While I would prefer the
surveys to completely stop,
02:07:21.060 --> 02:07:22.530
I can compromise.
02:07:22.530 --> 02:07:25.680
Today, I urge you to make
a policy that requires schools
02:07:25.680 --> 02:07:28.000
to make all surveys opt in.
02:07:28.000 --> 02:07:29.610
Let parents have a choice.
02:07:29.610 --> 02:07:32.410
Stop pushing parents out
of the education process
02:07:32.410 --> 02:07:33.330
of their children.
02:07:33.330 --> 02:07:34.530
Thank you for your time.
02:07:36.690 --> 02:07:39.210
Do we have
any other testifiers?
02:07:40.350 --> 02:07:41.393
Mary Lowe.
02:07:43.240 --> 02:07:45.003
Bella Munoz Hopkins,
02:07:55.650 --> 02:07:56.483
Mary Lowe.
02:07:57.680 --> 02:08:01.630
When the voice of those
you're spending money with
02:08:01.630 --> 02:08:04.140
is more important than the families
02:08:04.140 --> 02:08:06.823
and taxpayers you serve, you're corrupt.
02:08:07.776 --> 02:08:08.701
Galway Institute
02:08:08.701 --> 02:08:12.684
says schools are keeping
parents in the dark.
02:08:12.684 --> 02:08:15.424
Your approval of any of these IMs
02:08:15.424 --> 02:08:17.483
puts parents at a disadvantage because--
02:08:17.483 --> 02:08:19.108
Ma'am, hold on a second.
02:08:19.108 --> 02:08:21.790
We're only posted on
Friday to speak to items
02:08:21.790 --> 02:08:23.887
that were not previously on the agenda.
02:08:23.887 --> 02:08:27.410
So the only option you have
today is to talk about any item
02:08:27.410 --> 02:08:29.790
that was not previously
on the agenda this week
02:08:29.790 --> 02:08:31.770
if we had time for
other testimony for that.
02:08:31.770 --> 02:08:33.180
So this is only a time.
02:08:33.180 --> 02:08:36.450
The bulk of my testimony
is not about the IMs today.
02:08:36.450 --> 02:08:38.203
It's IMs in general.
02:08:38.203 --> 02:08:40.015
All of your testimony,
02:08:40.015 --> 02:08:42.730
your testimony cannot focus
on the instruction materials
02:08:42.730 --> 02:08:43.963
that are before us, has been before us.
02:08:46.828 --> 02:08:49.277
Please let me
remind you that PPRA
02:08:51.380 --> 02:08:54.700
is to protect the government
and government education
02:08:54.700 --> 02:08:57.850
from taking surveys,
that concern one or more
02:08:57.850 --> 02:09:00.610
of the following eight protected areas.
02:09:00.610 --> 02:09:03.290
Political affiliations or
beliefs of the student,
02:09:03.290 --> 02:09:05.110
or the student's parent.
02:09:05.110 --> 02:09:07.980
Mental or psychological
problems of the student
02:09:07.980 --> 02:09:09.150
or the student's family.
02:09:09.150 --> 02:09:11.060
Sex behavior or attitudes,
02:09:11.060 --> 02:09:15.610
illegal antisocial self-incriminating
or demeaning behavior,
02:09:15.610 --> 02:09:17.760
critical appraisals of other individuals
02:09:17.760 --> 02:09:21.130
with whom respondents
have close family relationships.
02:09:21.130 --> 02:09:23.370
Legally recognized, privileged,
02:09:23.370 --> 02:09:26.520
or analogous relationships
such as those of lawyers,
02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:27.910
physicians, and ministers.
02:09:27.910 --> 02:09:29.890
Religious practices, affiliations
02:09:29.890 --> 02:09:32.800
or beliefs of the student
or student's parent.
02:09:32.800 --> 02:09:36.690
Income or other required
by law to determine eligibility
02:09:36.690 --> 02:09:38.820
for participation in a program
02:09:38.820 --> 02:09:43.680
or for receiving financial
assistance under such program.
02:09:43.680 --> 02:09:47.290
I would like to hope that
this board would work
02:09:47.290 --> 02:09:50.580
with families and parents
to protect their rights.
02:09:50.580 --> 02:09:53.020
But today, we do not
see that that's the case.
02:09:53.020 --> 02:09:56.630
We are currently preparing
to ask for an opinion
02:09:56.630 --> 02:09:59.330
from Ken Paxton's office.
02:09:59.330 --> 02:10:01.530
And we will also bring
legal suit against you
02:10:01.530 --> 02:10:04.010
if you do not begin to
respect parents' rights.
02:10:04.010 --> 02:10:04.843
Thank you.
02:10:07.770 --> 02:10:09.270
Carla Munoz Hopkins.
02:10:11.090 --> 02:10:14.060
Good morning, everyone,
or good afternoon.
02:10:14.060 --> 02:10:18.203
The 87th Texas legislature
amended education code 1.004
02:10:19.750 --> 02:10:22.890
on the display of the national
motto and public schools
02:10:22.890 --> 02:10:25.120
and institutes of higher education.
02:10:25.120 --> 02:10:29.190
The new law reads a public
elementary or secondary school
02:10:29.190 --> 02:10:32.910
or an institution of higher
education must display
02:10:32.910 --> 02:10:35.650
in a conspicuous place in each building
02:10:35.650 --> 02:10:37.510
of the school or institution,
02:10:37.510 --> 02:10:39.610
a durable poster or fringed copy
02:10:39.610 --> 02:10:43.520
of the United States national
motto, In God We Trust.
02:10:43.520 --> 02:10:46.030
So I have some awesome news.
02:10:46.030 --> 02:10:49.700
We will have the first
school district display
02:10:49.700 --> 02:10:53.530
the national motto at Leander ISD,
02:10:53.530 --> 02:10:56.420
thanks to the National Motto Project.
02:10:56.420 --> 02:11:01.420
And we'd love for other
school districts to look up
02:11:02.040 --> 02:11:07.020
the US national motto
online and connect with me
02:11:07.020 --> 02:11:12.020
or contacts on the website to bring back
02:11:12.220 --> 02:11:17.220
our patriotism and
what America stands for.
02:11:18.810 --> 02:11:21.990
I'm very saddened to
hear from one of the parents
02:11:21.990 --> 02:11:23.173
that just testify.
02:11:25.470 --> 02:11:27.110
Her children's schools are not saying
02:11:27.110 --> 02:11:29.190
the Pledge of Allegiance anymore.
02:11:29.190 --> 02:11:30.970
And in Leander ISD,
02:11:30.970 --> 02:11:33.630
we have a substitute
teacher that just told me
02:11:33.630 --> 02:11:35.730
Tuesday evening that the children
02:11:35.730 --> 02:11:37.940
are saying the pledges to a bracket.
02:11:37.940 --> 02:11:39.590
The flags have been removed.
02:11:39.590 --> 02:11:42.490
Both the Texas and the American flag.
02:11:42.490 --> 02:11:44.600
The other thing that I'd
like to talk to you about
02:11:44.600 --> 02:11:48.570
is please aid the
Governor in his investigation
02:11:48.570 --> 02:11:51.720
of Leander ISD and the
pornographic materials.
02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:55.680
And most of all, the hate
crimes that I have come to you all
02:11:55.680 --> 02:12:00.680
and provided evidence and
materials to Counsel Maska.
02:12:00.750 --> 02:12:05.040
And to all of you, please
aid in those investigations.
02:12:05.040 --> 02:12:08.570
This is real life and it's
affecting not just the families
02:12:08.570 --> 02:12:11.713
of Leander ISD, but
all throughout the state.
02:12:12.990 --> 02:12:13.823
Thank you.
02:12:19.840 --> 02:12:22.503
We also have
three late registrations.
02:12:23.495 --> 02:12:27.053
Members, is there objection
to taking late registration?
02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:29.640
Hearing none.
02:12:31.040 --> 02:12:35.183
Christina Rosales,
Katie Goldstein, Paul Gotea,
02:12:45.230 --> 02:12:46.130
Christina Rosales.
02:12:49.540 --> 02:12:50.833
Katie Goldstein.
02:12:52.710 --> 02:12:53.543
Paul Gotea.
02:13:14.510 --> 02:13:18.323
Hi, my name is Paul GoTEA
and I live in Leander ISD.
02:13:20.000 --> 02:13:22.700
Have any of you heard of Hope Alliance?
02:13:22.700 --> 02:13:26.290
It's a shelter for abused
women and children.
02:13:26.290 --> 02:13:31.290
And I asked this just last
night to our ISD board members,
02:13:31.800 --> 02:13:36.100
and they don't know who they are.
02:13:36.100 --> 02:13:39.370
Which is surprising because
they know who they are.
02:13:39.370 --> 02:13:41.480
And in fact, they have
called several times
02:13:41.480 --> 02:13:46.010
about LISD's students
who are there trying to help,
02:13:46.010 --> 02:13:48.533
and they have not
returned one phone call.
02:13:49.690 --> 02:13:52.360
So our problem is a
lack of communication
02:13:52.360 --> 02:13:56.010
between Leander and
the people that they serve.
02:13:56.010 --> 02:13:59.793
Because when I was talking
with the director for that group,
02:14:01.250 --> 02:14:05.410
Hope Alliance, he said they
get 25 to 30 women and children
02:14:05.410 --> 02:14:09.073
from the LISD area every month.
02:14:09.950 --> 02:14:14.490
So much so, they decided to
build a shelter up near LISD.
02:14:14.490 --> 02:14:16.080
And for some strange reason,
02:14:16.080 --> 02:14:19.633
the city wouldn't give them
a permit for almost a year.
02:14:26.920 --> 02:14:31.480
When people are in trouble,
to have your school district
02:14:31.480 --> 02:14:36.480
not help you with, the director
said it was highly unusual
02:14:38.888 --> 02:14:40.480
that when they call a district
02:14:40.480 --> 02:14:41.750
'cause they wanna help the kids
02:14:41.750 --> 02:14:45.340
that they left off on Chapter
five, they get to Chapter six.
02:14:45.340 --> 02:14:46.560
They're very helpful.
02:14:46.560 --> 02:14:48.920
Leander has not been.
02:14:48.920 --> 02:14:52.650
And this has been a
systemic loss of communication
02:14:52.650 --> 02:14:54.810
and control that we have
seen over and over again,
02:14:54.810 --> 02:14:58.300
as Perla has talked about with the books
02:14:58.300 --> 02:14:59.370
that we are talking about.
02:14:59.370 --> 02:15:03.750
And those people at Hope
Alliance, I've noticed it,
02:15:03.750 --> 02:15:05.450
but they're kinda freaking out
02:15:05.450 --> 02:15:07.340
because of all this sexualization
02:15:07.340 --> 02:15:09.260
that's happening
within the school district
02:15:09.260 --> 02:15:11.730
of people they are trying to help.
02:15:11.730 --> 02:15:14.530
And the interesting part
was I said this last night
02:15:14.530 --> 02:15:15.610
at the school board meeting.
02:15:15.610 --> 02:15:20.380
Afterwards, I'm talking with
other people and several women
02:15:20.380 --> 02:15:23.617
came up to me and said,
"That same group helped me."
02:15:25.640 --> 02:15:26.473
I couldn't believe it.
02:15:26.473 --> 02:15:29.070
I was like, that's why I'm talking here.
02:15:29.070 --> 02:15:32.740
That's why I'm trying to help
because this communication
02:15:32.740 --> 02:15:35.673
or lack thereof from
Leander is shocking.
02:15:36.950 --> 02:15:38.087
Thank you.
02:15:39.533 --> 02:15:41.360
Any other testifiers?
02:15:41.360 --> 02:15:43.630
Members, at this point in
time on public testimony
02:15:43.630 --> 02:15:45.630
on Friday, of course, we
can't engage in discussion
02:15:45.630 --> 02:15:47.170
with the testifiers
because we're not posting
02:15:47.170 --> 02:15:48.708
for these items.
02:15:48.708 --> 02:15:49.541
We can ask if there's any other
02:15:49.541 --> 02:15:51.380
further clarification questions.
02:15:51.380 --> 02:15:53.230
Is there any clarification questions?
02:15:54.310 --> 02:15:55.143
I'm seeing none.
02:15:55.143 --> 02:15:56.993
So thank you very much
for being here today.
02:15:58.980 --> 02:16:03.080
So now we are on item number
two approval of Consent Agenda.
02:16:03.080 --> 02:16:04.940
So the next business
in order is the approval
02:16:04.940 --> 02:16:06.300
of the Consent Agenda.
02:16:06.300 --> 02:16:07.670
It's been distributed to each of you.
02:16:07.670 --> 02:16:10.880
Take a moment to review
items on the Consent Agenda.
02:16:10.880 --> 02:16:12.550
With note that the
committee on school initiatives
02:16:12.550 --> 02:16:14.330
took no action and
item number 12 approval
02:16:14.330 --> 02:16:17.870
of the applicability of state statute
02:16:17.870 --> 02:16:19.480
to a special purpose school district.
02:16:19.480 --> 02:16:21.930
And that item is removed
from the Consent Agenda.
02:16:27.690 --> 02:16:30.010
Members, are there
any items to be removed
02:16:30.010 --> 02:16:32.560
from the Consent Agenda
for separate consideration?
02:16:34.630 --> 02:16:35.463
Mr. Hickman.
02:16:36.690 --> 02:16:38.589
I have a
clarification question
02:16:38.589 --> 02:16:39.422
and one for staff.
02:16:39.422 --> 02:16:41.633
On the private schools
and the star testing,
02:16:42.597 --> 02:16:44.660
which or why would private
schools utilize star testing?
02:16:44.660 --> 02:16:46.301
Is that common?
02:16:46.301 --> 02:16:48.480
Can you talk 10 seconds about that?
02:16:48.480 --> 02:16:49.380
Sure.
02:16:49.380 --> 02:16:54.320
So, private schools can
choose to administer star
02:16:54.320 --> 02:16:55.558
to their students.
02:16:55.558 --> 02:16:58.644
I think that there are some schools
02:16:58.644 --> 02:17:02.330
that many private schools
in Texas, I should say,
02:17:02.330 --> 02:17:04.270
teach the Texas Essential
Knowledge and Skills,
02:17:04.270 --> 02:17:06.510
even though they're not required to.
02:17:06.510 --> 02:17:09.080
And so it is a logical
test to administer,
02:17:09.080 --> 02:17:11.120
to determine their students' proficiency
02:17:11.120 --> 02:17:13.020
in these essential knowledge and skills.
02:17:13.020 --> 02:17:14.730
So it's something that
is available to them
02:17:14.730 --> 02:17:18.380
that they can choose to
use if they would like to.
02:17:18.380 --> 02:17:19.530
There's no requirement,
02:17:19.530 --> 02:17:22.443
but we do have some
schools that do use that test.
02:17:29.000 --> 02:17:33.290
I believe that there
were 2,558 tested,
02:17:33.290 --> 02:17:37.660
administered to private
school students on that for 2021.
02:17:37.660 --> 02:17:40.010
But yeah, we've done
that for many, many years.
02:17:49.132 --> 02:17:51.382
Yes, it's relatively small.
02:17:53.210 --> 02:17:55.020
Members, are there
any items to be removed
02:17:55.020 --> 02:17:57.570
from the Consent Agenda
for separate consideration?
02:17:58.650 --> 02:18:01.193
Hearing none, the
Consent Agenda is adopted.
02:18:04.140 --> 02:18:06.510
This will get us to the
Committee of the Full Board.
02:18:06.510 --> 02:18:07.610
Item number three is a report
02:18:07.610 --> 02:18:09.020
from the Commission of Education
02:18:09.020 --> 02:18:11.720
regarding instructional
materials offered for adoption
02:18:11.720 --> 02:18:15.560
under proclamation 2022
to new agenda on page I-2.
02:18:15.560 --> 02:18:17.010
I'm gonna call on Ms. Little.
02:18:20.010 --> 02:18:21.990
Mr. Chair, the
Committee of the Full Board
02:18:21.990 --> 02:18:25.110
recommends that the
State Board of Education
02:18:25.110 --> 02:18:27.820
require that QuaverEd health education
02:18:27.820 --> 02:18:30.630
grades K through five
and physical education
02:18:30.630 --> 02:18:32.440
grades K through five,
02:18:32.440 --> 02:18:36.550
make corrections listed
in proclamation 2022.
02:18:36.550 --> 02:18:38.750
Report of required corrections,
02:18:38.750 --> 02:18:40.900
the report of new content
02:18:40.900 --> 02:18:43.910
and the report of editorial changes.
02:18:43.910 --> 02:18:46.612
Require that all instructional materials
02:18:46.612 --> 02:18:50.150
meet established manufacturing
standards and specifications.
02:18:50.150 --> 02:18:53.460
Require that all electronic
instructional materials comply
02:18:53.460 --> 02:18:58.237
with the web content
accessibility guidelines level 2.1 AA
02:19:00.350 --> 02:19:02.080
and the technical standards required
02:19:02.080 --> 02:19:05.876
by the Federal
rehabilitation Act, section 508.
02:19:05.876 --> 02:19:09.130
Approve changes and
corrections submitted in response
02:19:09.130 --> 02:19:12.110
to written comments
and public testimony,
02:19:12.110 --> 02:19:14.640
place instructional materials
submitted for adoption
02:19:14.640 --> 02:19:19.210
on the adopted list as indicated
on the proclamation 2022.
02:19:19.210 --> 02:19:22.343
List of instructional
materials eligible for adoption.
02:19:25.100 --> 02:19:27.633
Members, we're now
at any debate on item,
02:19:29.426 --> 02:19:32.610
I would point out that we
received documentation in email
02:19:32.610 --> 02:19:35.470
and probably also in print
also on some of the changes
02:19:35.470 --> 02:19:40.470
from QuaverEd that happened
during the process this week.
02:19:40.910 --> 02:19:42.930
One on the data mining.
02:19:42.930 --> 02:19:45.610
They stated they are completely
removing the health tracker
02:19:45.610 --> 02:19:46.780
and all related screens,
02:19:46.780 --> 02:19:49.990
including the emoji based
check-ins that were discussed.
02:19:49.990 --> 02:19:52.110
This addresses concerns
about data mining.
02:19:52.110 --> 02:19:55.850
Use of student information,
emotional assessments.
02:19:55.850 --> 02:19:57.260
They stated they adhere to FERPA,
02:19:57.260 --> 02:20:00.830
federal and state regulation
in regard to that is sharing.
02:20:00.830 --> 02:20:04.110
And the QuaverEd music
curriculum has always adhered
02:20:04.110 --> 02:20:06.020
very stringent, Texas
laws for student data
02:20:06.020 --> 02:20:07.640
for a number of years.
02:20:07.640 --> 02:20:09.260
That said, they are still removing
02:20:09.260 --> 02:20:11.190
that part of the resource.
02:20:11.190 --> 02:20:14.040
So they also have some
information about what they removed
02:20:14.040 --> 02:20:16.960
about suicide and self-harm
and some other notes
02:20:16.960 --> 02:20:18.623
that's in your documents.
02:20:19.800 --> 02:20:21.370
Mr. Hickman.
02:20:21.370 --> 02:20:23.710
I have a
clarification question for staff
02:20:23.710 --> 02:20:25.833
based on recent testimony we just heard.
02:20:26.670 --> 02:20:31.000
One was the filtering
content through a portal.
02:20:31.000 --> 02:20:34.487
Is that something that's
in our current contract
02:20:34.487 --> 02:20:35.990
for proclamations?
02:20:35.990 --> 02:20:39.550
Or is that something we
could add that any port,
02:20:39.550 --> 02:20:42.680
any access to the internet
through a publisher's portal
02:20:42.680 --> 02:20:44.380
would have a filter applied to it?
02:20:51.350 --> 02:20:53.180
I'm not exactly sure I
understand your question,
02:20:53.180 --> 02:20:55.390
but I believe that might apply more
02:20:55.390 --> 02:20:58.160
to the district's filter,
02:20:58.160 --> 02:21:01.160
security filters rather than filters
02:21:01.160 --> 02:21:03.640
in a publisher's content.
02:21:03.640 --> 02:21:06.880
My understanding of the
testimony was that you bypass
02:21:06.880 --> 02:21:09.350
the school filter and
you go to the publisher.
02:21:09.350 --> 02:21:12.190
And then once you're
in the publisher's servers,
02:21:12.190 --> 02:21:15.750
you can access the internet
without the district's filter.
02:21:15.750 --> 02:21:17.250
Is that something we could,
02:21:17.250 --> 02:21:18.150
it sounds like it's not
02:21:18.150 --> 02:21:20.290
in our current proclamation contract,
02:21:20.290 --> 02:21:21.410
but maybe it's something we could add
02:21:21.410 --> 02:21:22.730
to future proclamations.
02:21:22.730 --> 02:21:25.080
I'm finding a
legal friend over here.
02:21:30.793 --> 02:21:31.970
I think that's something
02:21:31.970 --> 02:21:33.423
we can definitely look into.
02:21:34.600 --> 02:21:36.260
I think there, it may be,
02:21:36.260 --> 02:21:38.715
but I'd like to do the research first
02:21:38.715 --> 02:21:39.548
before giving you an answer.
02:21:40.930 --> 02:21:42.890
Second question
while you're there.
02:21:42.890 --> 02:21:46.400
The other was another testifier
about opting into surveys.
02:21:46.400 --> 02:21:47.830
Is that something we could add?
02:21:47.830 --> 02:21:50.120
It sounds like it's not
in our current contract.
02:21:50.120 --> 02:21:52.740
Is that something we could add as well?
02:21:52.740 --> 02:21:54.840
It's something I could
definitely look into.
02:21:54.840 --> 02:21:55.997
Okay, thank you
02:22:00.787 --> 02:22:03.667
Members, any further
debate on this item?
02:22:03.667 --> 02:22:06.167
Any other questions for
staff or any other debate?
02:22:08.040 --> 02:22:11.183
We're ready to take the vote.
02:22:13.614 --> 02:22:16.690
This is Melton-Malone
and then Dr. Johnson.
02:22:16.690 --> 02:22:17.950
Just
a point of clarification.
02:22:17.950 --> 02:22:22.610
So this is whether or not to
add them to the approved list.
02:22:22.610 --> 02:22:24.720
Yes and for clarification,
this is just Quaver.
02:22:24.720 --> 02:22:27.190
In the reason that
QuaverEd before us right now,
02:22:27.190 --> 02:22:29.230
it was the only one of the four
02:22:29.230 --> 02:22:32.600
that were approved by the
Committee of the Full Board.
02:22:32.600 --> 02:22:37.030
There is an opportunity
that if there was one publisher
02:22:37.030 --> 02:22:40.610
or two or three that did not receive
02:22:40.610 --> 02:22:41.990
a recommendation from the full board,
02:22:41.990 --> 02:22:43.330
there could be a second motion,
02:22:43.330 --> 02:22:45.250
a different motion to bring those up.
02:22:45.250 --> 02:22:47.500
But since Quaver is the
only one who received
02:22:48.489 --> 02:22:51.450
a recommendation from the
Committee of the Full Board,
02:22:51.450 --> 02:22:52.800
that's where this is.
02:22:52.800 --> 02:22:53.633
Dr. Johnson.
02:22:54.800 --> 02:22:55.950
That answered it, okay.
02:22:57.561 --> 02:22:59.019
All right, Mr. Hickman.
02:22:59.019 --> 02:23:01.110
And I do have
motion for Goodheart
02:23:01.110 --> 02:23:03.413
if you'll tell me the
appropriate time to make that.
02:23:05.881 --> 02:23:06.714
All right.
02:23:06.714 --> 02:23:10.760
So I would ask all those in
favor of placing QuaverEd
02:23:10.760 --> 02:23:13.853
in the state board adopted
list, show by raising your hand.
02:23:20.457 --> 02:23:22.063
Lower your hands.
02:23:23.260 --> 02:23:24.323
We have six, correct?
02:23:25.160 --> 02:23:26.983
All those opposed by the same sign.
02:23:33.950 --> 02:23:36.367
It was six opposed, and six.
02:23:37.240 --> 02:23:40.403
Six in favor and six opposed,
the motion does not carry.
02:23:45.350 --> 02:23:46.183
Mr. Hickman.
02:23:48.060 --> 02:23:50.520
I have a motion to
make for Goodheart.
02:23:50.520 --> 02:23:51.353
Go ahead.
02:23:53.110 --> 02:23:56.130
Require the Goodheart-Willcox
Health Education grades six,
02:23:56.130 --> 02:23:59.150
seven through eight, one
comma two and physical education,
02:23:59.150 --> 02:24:01.340
lifetime fitness and wellness pursuits
02:24:01.340 --> 02:24:04.660
make corrections listed in
the proclamation 2022 report
02:24:04.660 --> 02:24:06.170
of the required corrections.
02:24:06.170 --> 02:24:07.720
The report of new content
02:24:07.720 --> 02:24:09.820
and the report of editorial changes
02:24:09.820 --> 02:24:11.560
require that all instructional materials
02:24:11.560 --> 02:24:14.830
meet established manufacturing
standards and specifications.
02:24:14.830 --> 02:24:17.710
Require that all electronic
instructional materials comply
02:24:17.710 --> 02:24:21.710
with the web content accessibility
guidelines level 2.1 AA.
02:24:23.380 --> 02:24:24.970
And the technical standards required
02:24:24.970 --> 02:24:28.710
by the Federal Rehabilitation
Act, Section 508.
02:24:28.710 --> 02:24:31.110
Approve changes and
corrections submitted in response
02:24:31.110 --> 02:24:33.260
to written comments
and public testimony,
02:24:33.260 --> 02:24:36.840
including those received
on November 18th, 2021.
02:24:36.840 --> 02:24:39.720
And place instructional
materials submitted for adoption
02:24:39.720 --> 02:24:40.750
on the adopted list,
02:24:40.750 --> 02:24:42.690
as indicated on the proclamation
02:24:42.690 --> 02:24:46.410
2022 list of instructional
materials eligible for adoption.
02:24:46.410 --> 02:24:47.880
Second.
02:24:47.880 --> 02:24:49.130
We have a motion to second.
02:24:49.130 --> 02:24:52.860
Members, we're having Ms.
Parliamentarian needs some work
02:24:52.860 --> 02:24:54.080
on being able to get this on the screen.
02:24:54.080 --> 02:24:55.800
So we're gonna stand at
ease for just a few minutes
02:24:55.800 --> 02:24:57.350
while we get that squared away.
02:25:11.800 --> 02:25:14.000
All right, members let's
come back together.
02:25:57.660 --> 02:25:59.870
Members, where did we leave off?
02:25:59.870 --> 02:26:01.677
We had the motion and a second?
02:26:02.710 --> 02:26:04.890
So now at this point, I'm
gonna allow Mr. Hickman
02:26:04.890 --> 02:26:07.193
to speak in favor of his motion.
02:26:08.700 --> 02:26:09.560
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
02:26:09.560 --> 02:26:11.170
This is a big decision.
02:26:11.170 --> 02:26:12.950
As the teacher of the year said,
02:26:12.950 --> 02:26:15.870
we're acting for all Texas students.
02:26:15.870 --> 02:26:17.940
It's been five years since
anyone cared as much
02:26:17.940 --> 02:26:20.320
about what I thought since
when I was across the street
02:26:20.320 --> 02:26:23.260
at the 2016 electoral college.
02:26:23.260 --> 02:26:25.470
We've received feedback
from many by emails,
02:26:25.470 --> 02:26:27.310
phone calls and public testimony.
02:26:27.310 --> 02:26:28.260
And I've heard you.
02:26:29.140 --> 02:26:30.300
Feel about Goldilocks.
02:26:30.300 --> 02:26:32.730
Some people want more,
some people want less,
02:26:32.730 --> 02:26:34.030
and here we are.
02:26:34.030 --> 02:26:36.800
So I think this board
has great integrity.
02:26:36.800 --> 02:26:40.440
Each of us represents our
districts the best way we think
02:26:40.440 --> 02:26:42.080
and votes what they do.
02:26:42.080 --> 02:26:44.630
Votes the way they do
that they think is best.
02:26:44.630 --> 02:26:46.520
I am making this motion and voting
02:26:46.520 --> 02:26:48.080
in favor of Goodheart-Willcox.
02:26:48.080 --> 02:26:50.120
And I'd like to explain why.
02:26:50.120 --> 02:26:52.780
This board worked
hard the past few years.
02:26:52.780 --> 02:26:55.660
I wasn't here, but I watched
a number of the meetings
02:26:55.660 --> 02:26:57.730
to develop the new health TEKS.
02:26:57.730 --> 02:26:59.610
I think they're good health TEKS.
02:26:59.610 --> 02:27:02.343
And this book satisfies 100% of those.
02:27:03.240 --> 02:27:05.480
Several of us in staff
have worked this week
02:27:05.480 --> 02:27:07.500
and organizations and others
02:27:07.500 --> 02:27:09.403
to make this material even better.
02:27:11.012 --> 02:27:14.890
Goodheart-Willcox has
removed the objectionable material
02:27:14.890 --> 02:27:16.770
that went beyond the TEKS.
02:27:16.770 --> 02:27:17.900
This is a good book.
02:27:17.900 --> 02:27:21.050
I feel it's suitable and
appropriate for the grade level.
02:27:21.050 --> 02:27:22.370
But let me make clear,
02:27:22.370 --> 02:27:23.940
our action today does not put
02:27:23.940 --> 02:27:26.150
this book in a single classroom.
02:27:26.150 --> 02:27:28.340
Each ISD, and each shack
02:27:28.340 --> 02:27:30.450
will review this material themselves
02:27:30.450 --> 02:27:34.283
and decide what's the best
material for that community.
02:27:35.350 --> 02:27:38.340
My concern is the vacuum
we spoke about last week.
02:27:38.340 --> 02:27:41.430
If we don't adopt anything,
it will be a wild west.
02:27:41.430 --> 02:27:43.440
And I talked to Taz B. about that.
02:27:43.440 --> 02:27:47.730
I think there's 1,400 school
districts across the state.
02:27:47.730 --> 02:27:51.930
All of them will be required
to satisfy 100% of the TEKS.
02:27:51.930 --> 02:27:56.380
And my concern is they'll
find books that are far worse.
02:27:56.380 --> 02:28:01.380
That are from other communities,
that don't satisfy our TEKS
02:28:01.750 --> 02:28:04.220
or include a lot of objectional material
02:28:04.220 --> 02:28:05.220
that we do not want.
02:28:07.740 --> 02:28:11.750
In terms of sex ed, just
addressing some of the concerns
02:28:11.750 --> 02:28:14.600
I've heard on phone calls and emails.
02:28:14.600 --> 02:28:16.410
Sex ed is now opt in.
02:28:16.410 --> 02:28:19.370
This publisher is able to
segregate these materials
02:28:19.370 --> 02:28:21.800
and only provide the ed materials
02:28:21.800 --> 02:28:23.300
to the kids who have opted in.
02:28:24.440 --> 02:28:26.590
I've heard about quarterly updates.
02:28:26.590 --> 02:28:29.800
Any substantive changes
to the online materials,
02:28:29.800 --> 02:28:31.943
we'll come back to
the SBOE for approval.
02:28:33.510 --> 02:28:34.750
In terms of surveys,
02:28:34.750 --> 02:28:37.520
data mining is illegal
under federal law,
02:28:37.520 --> 02:28:40.050
under FERPA and
protection of people rights.
02:28:40.050 --> 02:28:42.300
And parents can opt out of surveys.
02:28:42.300 --> 02:28:46.530
Like I'd mentioned with my
discussion with our council,
02:28:46.530 --> 02:28:49.330
I would like to put a opt in for surveys
02:28:49.330 --> 02:28:51.463
for future proclamations.
02:28:52.890 --> 02:28:55.530
We have rejected the other
materials earlier this week
02:28:55.530 --> 02:28:57.260
that are not aligned with the TEKS
02:28:57.260 --> 02:28:59.810
and have objectionable material.
02:28:59.810 --> 02:29:00.760
And last I would just like
02:29:00.760 --> 02:29:03.060
to emphasize again, local control.
02:29:03.060 --> 02:29:07.110
Each shack or ISD decides
what to do, what to use locally.
02:29:07.110 --> 02:29:10.300
I think this is a good
material for them to consider.
02:29:10.300 --> 02:29:12.040
But each shack or ISD can decide
02:29:12.040 --> 02:29:13.740
what's best for that community.
02:29:13.740 --> 02:29:14.573
Thank you.
02:29:15.910 --> 02:29:18.160
Ms. Hardy, and
then Ms. Perez Diaz.
02:29:20.303 --> 02:29:23.730
I would support my
colleagues position
02:29:23.730 --> 02:29:26.710
on Goodheart-Willcox.
02:29:26.710 --> 02:29:29.570
One of the things that we
heard over and over again
02:29:29.570 --> 02:29:33.780
was the lack of
putting the parents first
02:29:33.780 --> 02:29:35.560
in the lives of the kids.
02:29:35.560 --> 02:29:40.560
And it was kinda hit
and miss within that book.
02:29:41.300 --> 02:29:45.520
And I think that that's a
very important fact that parent
02:29:45.520 --> 02:29:48.520
are always the first to
go to, but having served
02:29:51.150 --> 02:29:52.670
as a trusted adult.
02:29:52.670 --> 02:29:55.520
And in many a situation in my 30 years
02:29:55.520 --> 02:29:57.260
of classroom teaching,
02:29:57.260 --> 02:30:00.030
I understand also the trusted adult.
02:30:00.030 --> 02:30:02.230
And I wanna give you
a quick little example
02:30:02.230 --> 02:30:05.800
of a trusted adult
situation that I had set up
02:30:05.800 --> 02:30:07.340
when I was in central office.
02:30:07.340 --> 02:30:11.540
And we had the counselor
and the health teacher,
02:30:11.540 --> 02:30:15.120
or not health teacher,
counselor and nurse
02:30:15.120 --> 02:30:18.630
do the sex education for sixth graders.
02:30:18.630 --> 02:30:22.510
And I was actually, it was a
program called Worth White.
02:30:22.510 --> 02:30:26.610
And I was reading in the
newspaper about a pedophile
02:30:26.610 --> 02:30:29.720
who had been arrested and they ended up
02:30:31.408 --> 02:30:36.408
tracing it back to about 15 or
16 young ladies, young girls.
02:30:37.780 --> 02:30:40.430
And what happened?
02:30:40.430 --> 02:30:43.510
Well, newspaper asked the young lady,
02:30:43.510 --> 02:30:46.490
how is it that you came
to report this person?
02:30:46.490 --> 02:30:48.040
And she said, well,
02:30:48.040 --> 02:30:53.040
I was in school and they did
a program on sex education
02:30:53.270 --> 02:30:54.730
in sixth grade.
02:30:54.730 --> 02:30:58.670
And we were able to talk to
the counselor and or the nurse.
02:30:58.670 --> 02:31:02.070
And I reported it because
things were being done to me
02:31:02.070 --> 02:31:04.490
that I didn't even know what that was.
02:31:04.490 --> 02:31:05.720
I didn't know what was happening.
02:31:05.720 --> 02:31:07.340
I didn't know it was wrong.
02:31:07.340 --> 02:31:11.510
And she said it was the
worst of the white curriculum
02:31:11.510 --> 02:31:14.240
that really got her to do that.
02:31:14.240 --> 02:31:17.780
So if you think about
it, and after that,
02:31:17.780 --> 02:31:21.130
I was speaking and I
heard district attorney say,
02:31:21.130 --> 02:31:23.420
assistant district
attorney say every year
02:31:23.420 --> 02:31:25.420
that when we taught that in school,
02:31:25.420 --> 02:31:29.900
we had kids who were saved
from pedophile situations
02:31:29.900 --> 02:31:32.550
because they were made aware
02:31:32.550 --> 02:31:36.260
and they had a trusted
adult to talk to about that.
02:31:36.260 --> 02:31:39.550
So I appreciate the fact
that Goodheart-Willcox
02:31:39.550 --> 02:31:44.550
has made an effort to support
the standards that we had set
02:31:45.070 --> 02:31:48.420
for sex education and for other things.
02:31:48.420 --> 02:31:50.317
And because of that,
02:31:50.317 --> 02:31:52.960
and the fact that they
have to do this opt in
02:31:52.960 --> 02:31:55.180
for the sex education,
02:31:55.180 --> 02:31:58.500
I am going to be also
supporting Goodheart-Willcox.
02:31:58.500 --> 02:31:59.333
Thank you.
02:32:02.090 --> 02:32:03.490
Thank you, Chair.
02:32:03.490 --> 02:32:06.320
I stand in support of Goodheart-Willcox
02:32:06.320 --> 02:32:07.850
but I have to be very honest.
02:32:07.850 --> 02:32:12.120
I am really confused about
where this body stands
02:32:12.120 --> 02:32:15.080
in terms of how we support our students.
02:32:15.080 --> 02:32:19.290
So to the maker of the motion,
02:32:19.290 --> 02:32:23.930
you mentioned talking about
how we voted down texts
02:32:23.930 --> 02:32:26.140
that didn't meet the standards.
02:32:26.140 --> 02:32:30.630
We as a body, literally
just voted down a text
02:32:30.630 --> 02:32:34.260
that met 100% of the TEKS.
02:32:34.260 --> 02:32:37.450
I don't understand what I am missing.
02:32:37.450 --> 02:32:40.920
Number two, it is my belief,
02:32:40.920 --> 02:32:42.820
and we can go back
and look at the video.
02:32:42.820 --> 02:32:47.010
But I think sir, that you supported
02:32:47.010 --> 02:32:50.560
that the text our vote on Wednesday,
02:32:50.560 --> 02:32:53.330
that the organization came
back and made changes
02:32:53.330 --> 02:32:55.630
that you personally requested.
02:32:55.630 --> 02:32:58.700
And now it's been voted down.
02:32:58.700 --> 02:33:01.540
Again, I don't know what I'm missing.
02:33:01.540 --> 02:33:05.440
Lastly, we just had an
anecdote about pedophilia
02:33:05.440 --> 02:33:08.840
and the importance of sex education
02:33:08.840 --> 02:33:11.740
in the middle school level
about how these young women
02:33:11.740 --> 02:33:14.763
were able to identify what
was happening to them.
02:33:16.410 --> 02:33:18.770
Before I got into public education,
02:33:18.770 --> 02:33:21.660
I was in child protective services.
02:33:21.660 --> 02:33:26.130
So many of my kids were
victims of abuse, neglect,
02:33:26.130 --> 02:33:28.800
and that includes sexual abuse.
02:33:28.800 --> 02:33:31.550
The average age of
sexual abuse for children
02:33:31.550 --> 02:33:33.450
in this state is nine.
02:33:33.450 --> 02:33:36.350
Are you a middle
schooler at the age of nine?
02:33:36.350 --> 02:33:37.510
You're not.
02:33:37.510 --> 02:33:39.750
Then how do we expect those young people
02:33:39.750 --> 02:33:41.420
to identify what's happening to them
02:33:41.420 --> 02:33:44.200
when the average age
is in elementary school?
02:33:44.200 --> 02:33:46.490
I am infuriated by the conversations
02:33:46.490 --> 02:33:49.020
that have been taking
place all week long regarding
02:33:49.020 --> 02:33:52.370
this suggestion that there's pedophilia
02:33:52.370 --> 02:33:55.170
and that there's
encouragement of sexual activity.
02:33:55.170 --> 02:33:57.710
No, it's not what that is.
02:33:57.710 --> 02:33:59.200
This is us acknowledging
02:33:59.200 --> 02:34:02.200
what's actually happening in
the real world and experiences
02:34:02.200 --> 02:34:03.880
outside of the classroom that our kids
02:34:03.880 --> 02:34:05.760
have to come to class with.
02:34:05.760 --> 02:34:07.170
Why don't we acknowledge that?
02:34:07.170 --> 02:34:10.490
Why don't we acknowledge
what's really happening
02:34:10.490 --> 02:34:12.760
and talk about what our kids need?
02:34:12.760 --> 02:34:15.670
The tools they need to
better prepare themselves
02:34:15.670 --> 02:34:17.410
for the outside world that they live in,
02:34:17.410 --> 02:34:18.600
away from the classroom.
02:34:18.600 --> 02:34:22.860
I'm tired of us making
decisions about the small bubble
02:34:22.860 --> 02:34:24.310
in the short period
of time that they have
02:34:24.310 --> 02:34:25.763
when they're in classes.
02:34:26.630 --> 02:34:29.300
What about what happens
to our kids away from school
02:34:29.300 --> 02:34:31.150
that they come to the classroom with?
02:34:32.800 --> 02:34:36.710
I can't speak anymore
to how frustrated I am
02:34:36.710 --> 02:34:38.990
with how everything
has gone down this week.
02:34:38.990 --> 02:34:40.270
I support this book.
02:34:40.270 --> 02:34:42.640
I supported Quaver and
it will support the other two
02:34:42.640 --> 02:34:45.140
'cause that is what we're
really trying to accomplish.
02:34:45.140 --> 02:34:48.280
It's not about pedophilia and
encouraging sexual activity.
02:34:48.280 --> 02:34:49.890
It's about preparing our students
02:34:49.890 --> 02:34:52.063
for what is in a real world every day.
02:34:54.210 --> 02:34:55.560
Dr. Bell-Metereau
02:34:56.550 --> 02:34:58.160
I want to concur
02:34:58.160 --> 02:35:01.840
with what Ms. Perez-Diaz has said.
02:35:01.840 --> 02:35:04.050
Our daughter was actually the voiceover
02:35:04.050 --> 02:35:07.540
for the Worth the Wait video
02:35:07.540 --> 02:35:09.990
that was distributed to schools.
02:35:09.990 --> 02:35:13.900
And my students in my
video production class
02:35:13.900 --> 02:35:16.720
did the interviews with the teen parents
02:35:16.720 --> 02:35:21.220
who talked about how they
ended up as teen parents.
02:35:21.220 --> 02:35:25.078
And it was so moving to see the courage
02:35:25.078 --> 02:35:27.240
of those young people
02:35:27.240 --> 02:35:31.470
who are in that video
and who made that video.
02:35:31.470 --> 02:35:35.030
And we emphasized the fact
02:35:35.030 --> 02:35:37.810
that it's hard to be a teen parent.
02:35:37.810 --> 02:35:42.380
And we emphasize the fact
that there were ways to avoid
02:35:42.380 --> 02:35:46.720
being a teen parent and
that it was worth the wait.
02:35:46.720 --> 02:35:51.720
But the idea that mentioning
anything to do with sex
02:35:51.750 --> 02:35:56.750
will harm our students
is simply not validated
02:35:57.580 --> 02:35:59.810
by scientific research.
02:35:59.810 --> 02:36:03.740
The more students
know about their bodies,
02:36:03.740 --> 02:36:07.030
the more likely they are
to make wise decisions
02:36:07.030 --> 02:36:09.170
about their bodies.
02:36:09.170 --> 02:36:12.640
Now, I understand that life has changed
02:36:12.640 --> 02:36:14.720
over the last few decades.
02:36:14.720 --> 02:36:18.740
So many of the people
who are making those calls,
02:36:18.740 --> 02:36:23.090
I take so many calls from
people about this issue.
02:36:23.090 --> 02:36:27.780
And I try to listen to most of
them and I try to answer them
02:36:27.780 --> 02:36:32.036
and say, we are now an opt in state.
02:36:32.036 --> 02:36:35.420
Your children will not
receive sex education
02:36:35.420 --> 02:36:37.612
unless you opt in.
02:36:37.612 --> 02:36:41.300
And yet, so many of them
wanna prevent other people
02:36:41.300 --> 02:36:45.220
who do want to have their
children have sex education.
02:36:45.220 --> 02:36:48.210
They want to prevent those
parents for half from having
02:36:48.210 --> 02:36:53.210
any materials or any access to
comprehensive sex education.
02:36:55.100 --> 02:36:57.780
And I believe in local control,
02:36:57.780 --> 02:37:00.870
I believe in parents
having the right to say
02:37:00.870 --> 02:37:04.510
what their children
will learn or won't learn.
02:37:04.510 --> 02:37:09.510
But I also know very
directly the implications
02:37:09.560 --> 02:37:12.640
of not learning anything about sex.
02:37:12.640 --> 02:37:14.190
And I just wanna mention,
02:37:14.190 --> 02:37:17.870
I am not suggesting that
Texas should try to do this,
02:37:17.870 --> 02:37:20.170
but the two countries in the world
02:37:20.170 --> 02:37:25.170
who have the lowest
unwanted pregnancies,
02:37:25.220 --> 02:37:30.220
who have people who are
young people who wait the longest
02:37:31.400 --> 02:37:36.400
to have sex, actually
begin sex education
02:37:36.420 --> 02:37:38.170
at the age of five.
02:37:38.170 --> 02:37:43.170
By teaching students the
proper terms for their body parts.
02:37:43.770 --> 02:37:45.710
And it's not something scary.
02:37:45.710 --> 02:37:49.010
And it's not something that
they have to be ashamed about
02:37:49.010 --> 02:37:50.720
or fearful about.
02:37:50.720 --> 02:37:52.670
They learn about it
just the way you learn
02:37:52.670 --> 02:37:55.424
about eating and drinking.
02:37:55.424 --> 02:38:00.424
And I would really like to
see us give all the parents,
02:38:00.660 --> 02:38:02.420
all the children in Texas,
02:38:02.420 --> 02:38:05.473
the right to learn what
they want to learn.
02:38:06.460 --> 02:38:09.170
And so I agree with Ms. Perez
02:38:09.170 --> 02:38:13.410
that it is really a shame
to deny these materials
02:38:13.410 --> 02:38:15.640
to those districts and those parents
02:38:15.640 --> 02:38:20.600
who want that information
based on a very small,
02:38:20.600 --> 02:38:24.690
but incredibly vocal
and organized group.
02:38:24.690 --> 02:38:27.850
And they are sending
out the same letters
02:38:27.850 --> 02:38:31.700
and telling the same stories
over and over and over again.
02:38:31.700 --> 02:38:34.200
And I wonder, how did this happen?
02:38:34.200 --> 02:38:36.930
How was this organization developed
02:38:36.930 --> 02:38:39.873
to be so systematic and energetic?
02:38:40.800 --> 02:38:45.630
But I do hope that we will
approve at least one text
02:38:47.017 --> 02:38:48.660
for teachers to be able to rely on.
02:38:48.660 --> 02:38:50.223
At least one.
02:38:52.068 --> 02:38:54.230
I just wanna remind members
that were discussing these
02:38:54.230 --> 02:38:56.600
to focus specifically on the
Goodheart-Willcox books
02:38:56.600 --> 02:38:58.062
in front of us.
02:38:58.062 --> 02:38:58.895
Mr. Allen.
02:38:58.895 --> 02:38:59.960
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
02:38:59.960 --> 02:39:03.500
And certainly I want to, as
my good friend, Kim Mercy
02:39:03.500 --> 02:39:05.960
used to say, rise in support
02:39:05.960 --> 02:39:09.890
of this Goodheart-Willcox.
02:39:09.890 --> 02:39:12.670
For several reasons that
have already been spoken
02:39:12.670 --> 02:39:15.840
in terms of providing a guide
02:39:15.840 --> 02:39:18.674
of a resource for our educators
02:39:18.674 --> 02:39:21.040
throughout the state
of Texas in this field.
02:39:21.040 --> 02:39:23.430
One of the things I'll always remember
02:39:23.430 --> 02:39:25.030
is that at some point,
02:39:25.030 --> 02:39:29.910
we can work our way out
of a job by not being vigilant
02:39:29.910 --> 02:39:32.810
in how we produce
things and approve things.
02:39:32.810 --> 02:39:36.190
'Cause you imagine if we walk
away from here this weekend
02:39:36.190 --> 02:39:38.090
and approve no materials.
02:39:38.090 --> 02:39:40.410
Then we send a message
out to the publishers
02:39:40.410 --> 02:39:43.740
that is is a total waste of
time to present your product
02:39:43.740 --> 02:39:45.727
to the State Board of Education
02:39:45.727 --> 02:39:49.040
because if it's exposed
to the public, it's torn down.
02:39:49.040 --> 02:39:49.960
And in this case,
02:39:49.960 --> 02:39:52.150
it's a great thing to be
able to have the testimony
02:39:52.150 --> 02:39:53.590
on what products come forward.
02:39:53.590 --> 02:39:56.010
So we appreciate this publisher
02:39:56.010 --> 02:39:58.100
for being willing to make changes.
02:39:58.100 --> 02:40:00.262
That's a part of the process.
02:40:00.262 --> 02:40:04.220
To listen to the citizens
or constituents out there
02:40:04.220 --> 02:40:05.170
and making changes.
02:40:05.170 --> 02:40:07.470
That's a part of the processes.
02:40:07.470 --> 02:40:09.980
So I'm appreciative to
this particular publishing.
02:40:09.980 --> 02:40:11.480
I hope we approve it.
02:40:11.480 --> 02:40:13.250
But I always look at
things through the lens
02:40:13.250 --> 02:40:14.640
I've been trained to look through to me.
02:40:14.640 --> 02:40:17.310
And over the years,
and this is my 18th year,
02:40:17.310 --> 02:40:19.520
my training says that
I should look at these
02:40:20.817 --> 02:40:23.981
and use my vote in a way
that I've been trained to use it.
02:40:23.981 --> 02:40:27.850
And if the product meets the
four correlates, if you would,
02:40:27.850 --> 02:40:30.020
then I should say it meets that.
02:40:30.020 --> 02:40:32.180
I'm not looking at all
of the other effects.
02:40:32.180 --> 02:40:37.040
If it meets the criteria,
then my vote is yes.
02:40:37.040 --> 02:40:38.750
I may not agree with everything.
02:40:38.750 --> 02:40:43.610
And remembering, I may
not support all of the old text,
02:40:43.610 --> 02:40:45.970
but if it meets that
particular criteria,
02:40:45.970 --> 02:40:46.940
so my answer is yes.
02:40:46.940 --> 02:40:50.240
So I voted for all the
products because in my view,
02:40:50.240 --> 02:40:52.290
they met those four corridors.
02:40:52.290 --> 02:40:54.060
And so that simple for me.
02:40:54.060 --> 02:40:58.250
Because I recognize I'm
not the total decision-maker.
02:40:58.250 --> 02:41:00.620
I want the products
to go out into the state.
02:41:00.620 --> 02:41:02.670
I want them to know that they met
02:41:02.670 --> 02:41:04.600
our stringent standard, if you will.
02:41:04.600 --> 02:41:08.270
But then I want every
district to make choices
02:41:08.270 --> 02:41:10.020
for what's best for their community.
02:41:10.020 --> 02:41:12.083
But to say we found nothing,
02:41:12.950 --> 02:41:17.000
it may not be the
best for us in the future
02:41:17.000 --> 02:41:18.670
and we can find ourselves here
02:41:18.670 --> 02:41:20.863
approving nothing in the future.
02:41:22.310 --> 02:41:23.310
Ms. Perez.
02:41:24.673 --> 02:41:28.045
My question is for
staff, I'd like to know
02:41:28.045 --> 02:41:31.760
in perhaps not so brief detail,
02:41:31.760 --> 02:41:35.170
what, if any additional
burdens will our ISD face
02:41:35.170 --> 02:41:39.063
if the SBOE approves
zero instructional materials?
02:41:42.830 --> 02:41:44.610
As member Hickman mentioned,
02:41:44.610 --> 02:41:46.910
districts do have to certify every year
02:41:46.910 --> 02:41:49.210
that they have instructional materials
02:41:49.210 --> 02:41:54.193
that meet 100% of the TEKS
for every course except PE.
02:41:55.190 --> 02:41:58.740
And they have to do that
before they're allowed to access
02:41:58.740 --> 02:42:01.590
their instructional
materials allotment funds.
02:42:01.590 --> 02:42:05.860
And so if there aren't
materials that have been vetted
02:42:05.860 --> 02:42:09.493
through this process to
meet 100% of the TEKS,
02:42:09.493 --> 02:42:12.670
then each district has to
have a process for vetting
02:42:12.670 --> 02:42:13.840
the instructional materials
02:42:13.840 --> 02:42:15.690
to determine the standards alignment.
02:42:16.700 --> 02:42:18.570
Additionally, there are some advantages
02:42:18.570 --> 02:42:21.180
to purchasing materials
from the SBEO list.
02:42:21.180 --> 02:42:24.980
Those include that
SBEO adopted publishers
02:42:24.980 --> 02:42:27.900
must have their digital materials
02:42:27.900 --> 02:42:30.480
audited by a third party to ensure
02:42:30.480 --> 02:42:33.050
they meet accessibility standards.
02:42:33.050 --> 02:42:38.050
The print materials are
produced in accessible formats
02:42:38.870 --> 02:42:42.870
procured by the agency in
braille, large print and audio.
02:42:42.870 --> 02:42:45.680
And given to the schools at no charge.
02:42:45.680 --> 02:42:50.008
And the price is
protected for eight years.
02:42:50.008 --> 02:42:52.500
So it cannot increase,
it can only decrease.
02:42:52.500 --> 02:42:54.650
In the event that a school purchases
02:42:54.650 --> 02:42:59.340
a non-SBOE adopted print
material and needs those materials
02:42:59.340 --> 02:43:02.170
in an accessible format for a student
02:43:02.170 --> 02:43:03.740
with a visual impairment,
02:43:03.740 --> 02:43:07.393
they have to pay to get
those materials mastered.
02:43:10.199 --> 02:43:11.720
So the master copy would be used
02:43:11.720 --> 02:43:13.010
to produce additional copies
02:43:13.010 --> 02:43:15.850
and then they have to pay
for the copies themselves.
02:43:15.850 --> 02:43:18.380
We did a bit of research
and the mastering.
02:43:18.380 --> 02:43:22.690
Can cost anywhere from 700 to $130,000.
02:43:22.690 --> 02:43:27.127
And the copies can cost
anywhere from 30 to over $5,000.
02:43:28.140 --> 02:43:31.030
The districts can pay
for those materials
02:43:31.030 --> 02:43:36.030
using IDEA B funds, their
allotment money or local funds.
02:43:39.520 --> 02:43:42.480
But if it were to
be an SBOE approved
02:43:42.480 --> 02:43:45.933
instructional material,
who pays for that?
02:43:47.890 --> 02:43:49.433
We do.
Thank you.
02:43:54.934 --> 02:43:57.550
Yeah, I wanna echo what
Member Bell-Metereau said.
02:43:57.550 --> 02:44:01.330
Remind everybody that
Texas is opt in state now.
02:44:01.330 --> 02:44:03.640
And so we've heard a
lot, I've received hundreds,
02:44:03.640 --> 02:44:05.920
if not thousands of
emails and phone calls
02:44:05.920 --> 02:44:09.180
over the last few weeks
about parental rights.
02:44:09.180 --> 02:44:11.309
So I would ask the members,
02:44:11.309 --> 02:44:14.360
what about the parental
rights of the parents
02:44:14.360 --> 02:44:17.690
that do want their children to have
02:44:17.690 --> 02:44:20.260
this exposure and this knowledge,
02:44:20.260 --> 02:44:23.193
this not coming from
their friends or the internet?
02:44:24.040 --> 02:44:28.100
And I wanna also mention
that I got an email this morning
02:44:28.100 --> 02:44:33.000
from a retired Methodist
minister in Rosenberg, Texas,
02:44:33.000 --> 02:44:38.000
who has, when he was working,
through the Methodist church,
02:44:38.520 --> 02:44:40.350
through his Methodist church,
02:44:40.350 --> 02:44:44.760
taught a sex ed class
for junior high age kids.
02:44:44.760 --> 02:44:47.080
And he was asking that we,
02:44:47.080 --> 02:44:50.750
he was asking me to
approve Goodheart-Willcox.
02:44:50.750 --> 02:44:53.060
And then also regarding the testimony
02:44:53.060 --> 02:44:55.540
we've had this week and then a year ago
02:44:56.480 --> 02:44:58.180
From Rory Kuykendall.
02:44:58.180 --> 02:45:01.990
She's a professional in this area.
02:45:01.990 --> 02:45:04.330
She's conservative, she's
a conservative Republican.
02:45:04.330 --> 02:45:06.846
So I would just remind people
02:45:06.846 --> 02:45:11.846
that we're not talking about
approving everything here.
02:45:11.930 --> 02:45:15.050
We're talking about
just Goodheart-Willcox,
02:45:15.050 --> 02:45:18.610
which a lot of people think
is more than reasonable.
02:45:18.610 --> 02:45:21.320
And again, if you don't
think it's reasonable,
02:45:21.320 --> 02:45:23.540
then you do not have,
02:45:23.540 --> 02:45:26.483
your child will not
be exposed to it at all.
02:45:30.290 --> 02:45:31.123
Yes.
02:45:31.123 --> 02:45:32.990
I have a couple of
followup questions for staff
02:45:33.830 --> 02:45:37.590
based on some things that
Member Perez was asking.
02:45:37.590 --> 02:45:39.390
The first question is,
02:45:39.390 --> 02:45:42.240
well, we talked about if we
don't adopt any materials,
02:45:42.240 --> 02:45:45.080
they can just have a school
nurse nurse just teach it,
02:45:45.080 --> 02:45:46.640
but do all schools in Texas,
02:45:46.640 --> 02:45:48.600
are they required to have school nurses?
02:45:48.600 --> 02:45:51.853
And so do all schools in Texas
have a school nurse there?
02:45:52.750 --> 02:45:53.980
Ms. Davis, I'll
go ahead and answer
02:45:53.980 --> 02:45:55.620
that question for you.
02:45:55.620 --> 02:46:00.620
Not every school has
a full-time school nurse.
02:46:00.710 --> 02:46:02.860
Okay, so we can't just
depend on a school nurse
02:46:02.860 --> 02:46:04.880
to be able to teach this.
02:46:04.880 --> 02:46:07.730
Well, there is not
a full-time school nurse
02:46:07.730 --> 02:46:08.713
on every campus.
02:46:09.550 --> 02:46:12.090
And my second question
is what is the certification
02:46:12.090 --> 02:46:13.983
requirements for a health teacher?
02:46:16.610 --> 02:46:19.422
We'll have to
look that up for you,
02:46:19.422 --> 02:46:20.255
if you can give me just a moment,
02:46:20.255 --> 02:46:21.117
I'll find that for you.
02:46:21.117 --> 02:46:23.670
And in particular, do you have,
02:46:23.670 --> 02:46:26.430
is there a particular
health certification
02:46:26.430 --> 02:46:28.700
that you would have to
have that health background
02:46:28.700 --> 02:46:30.880
and then take the health test
02:46:30.880 --> 02:46:33.850
or is that open for
teachers from different types
02:46:33.850 --> 02:46:36.260
of certifications to be able to teach?
02:46:36.260 --> 02:46:37.640
So I believe the certification
02:46:37.640 --> 02:46:41.904
is going to be very similar
to any other subject area.
02:46:41.904 --> 02:46:44.850
I think what you're
describing sounds to me
02:46:44.850 --> 02:46:48.557
a little bit like some of
the requirements for CTE.
02:46:50.020 --> 02:46:51.500
So for your CTE teachers,
02:46:51.500 --> 02:46:54.560
there are times that you
require work or a spec,
02:46:54.560 --> 02:46:56.107
and then with your support
02:46:57.320 --> 02:47:01.156
will require certain work approvals.
02:47:01.156 --> 02:47:02.980
But this, I think is treated like any,
02:47:02.980 --> 02:47:07.130
like math or reading would
be in terms of educator's
02:47:07.130 --> 02:47:10.700
need to be proficient in the
essential knowledge and skills
02:47:10.700 --> 02:47:12.190
for those certifications.
02:47:12.190 --> 02:47:13.860
And that's something that we work
02:47:13.860 --> 02:47:15.740
with the staff who support a spec,
02:47:15.740 --> 02:47:17.660
anytime you update your
standards to make sure
02:47:17.660 --> 02:47:20.632
that that is reflected in the tests,
02:47:20.632 --> 02:47:24.720
but I can get the specific
certifications in just a moment.
02:47:24.720 --> 02:47:25.553
Thank you.
02:47:25.553 --> 02:47:28.700
And I'm just asking because
we're depending on our teachers
02:47:28.700 --> 02:47:30.390
and nurses or whoever else
02:47:30.390 --> 02:47:32.530
to teach us without any resources,
02:47:32.530 --> 02:47:34.770
so how can we guarantee
they have the background,
02:47:34.770 --> 02:47:37.478
the knowledge and
everything to be able to do so
02:47:37.478 --> 02:47:39.193
without any type of
resources whatsoever?
02:47:42.780 --> 02:47:44.660
Yes, well, originally,
02:47:44.660 --> 02:47:47.830
I had voted no on
this Goodheart-Willcox.
02:47:47.830 --> 02:47:52.220
but this morning, I've gotten
several emails and phone calls
02:47:52.220 --> 02:47:56.810
after they've seen the
changes that have been made.
02:47:56.810 --> 02:47:58.783
And so I will be voting for this.
02:48:01.460 --> 02:48:02.460
Any other?
02:48:03.440 --> 02:48:04.463
Sorry, Dr. Johnson.
02:48:08.450 --> 02:48:12.090
Like Matt Robinson said,
I'm very thankful for the opt in.
02:48:12.090 --> 02:48:13.940
I think that's a great addition.
02:48:13.940 --> 02:48:17.543
And I don't think that the design there,
02:48:18.950 --> 02:48:23.950
any of our intention is
to prevent sex education.
02:48:23.950 --> 02:48:26.003
It reminds me a little bit of our,
02:48:26.840 --> 02:48:29.363
my dilemma on the charter school vote.
02:48:30.210 --> 02:48:33.960
I'm in favor of good charter schools
02:48:33.960 --> 02:48:36.580
and I'm in favor of good sex education.
02:48:36.580 --> 02:48:41.400
I just don't think I'm in
favor of okay sex education.
02:48:41.400 --> 02:48:45.850
We had a discussion about
the void that we might leave.
02:48:45.850 --> 02:48:48.710
And I've talked to quite
a few people about that.
02:48:48.710 --> 02:48:51.660
It doesn't seem like
that's as big an issue
02:48:51.660 --> 02:48:53.610
as I anticipated.
02:48:53.610 --> 02:48:56.040
My experience on the
local school board had been
02:48:56.040 --> 02:48:58.560
that we rarely adopted things,
02:48:58.560 --> 02:49:01.810
but I don't know that we never did.
02:49:01.810 --> 02:49:03.860
But I don't think that's something
02:49:03.860 --> 02:49:07.950
that we have to make
a line in the sand on.
02:49:07.950 --> 02:49:09.020
I think the important thing
02:49:09.020 --> 02:49:13.850
is that we give excellent material.
02:49:13.850 --> 02:49:17.243
And I think right now, we're
looking at okay material.
02:49:18.100 --> 02:49:19.303
I can't support this.
02:49:20.540 --> 02:49:21.810
I'm gonna
jump in if everyone's
02:49:21.810 --> 02:49:24.110
had their first time to speak
and we'll try to keep this
02:49:24.110 --> 02:49:27.703
to a strict enforcement
of two times each one.
02:49:27.703 --> 02:49:28.703
Mr. Maynard.
02:49:30.520 --> 02:49:31.353
Yeah.
02:49:33.680 --> 02:49:34.983
No one ever said that,
02:49:36.360 --> 02:49:39.250
sometimes, these decisions are not easy
02:49:39.250 --> 02:49:44.250
'cause you're trying to
balance things out a little bit.
02:49:44.400 --> 02:49:46.260
I just wanna kind of
make a couple of notes.
02:49:46.260 --> 02:49:49.400
First of all is that this proclamation
02:49:52.390 --> 02:49:54.000
is not about sex education.
02:49:54.000 --> 02:49:54.963
It never has been.
02:49:56.250 --> 02:49:59.680
I am greatly disappointed by
some of the headlines I've seen
02:49:59.680 --> 02:50:03.700
in some of the local media
that talks about sex education
02:50:03.700 --> 02:50:05.400
because the State Board of Education
02:50:05.400 --> 02:50:08.120
is not really authorized
for sex education.
02:50:08.120 --> 02:50:13.120
The law, 28.004 is
actually very clear about that
02:50:13.550 --> 02:50:15.760
is that, that is really the domain
02:50:15.760 --> 02:50:17.590
of a local board of trustees
02:50:17.590 --> 02:50:21.043
working alongside a school
health advisory council.
02:50:22.230 --> 02:50:24.600
And when this board put together,
02:50:24.600 --> 02:50:29.010
the health standards is that
we were very, very intentional
02:50:29.010 --> 02:50:30.980
about respecting the law and the intent,
02:50:30.980 --> 02:50:32.383
the spirit of that law.
02:50:33.380 --> 02:50:37.210
And that's why that a number
of us have been very concerned
02:50:37.210 --> 02:50:42.210
about materials that
seem to go beyond that,
02:50:43.090 --> 02:50:46.103
intended to just circumvent that intent.
02:50:47.288 --> 02:50:50.390
'Cause that's the law and
that's the intent of the law.
02:50:50.390 --> 02:50:54.750
And I spent some time
with the author of that statute
02:50:54.750 --> 02:50:56.817
and exactly what the intent of that was.
02:50:56.817 --> 02:50:58.090
And so that's the first thing.
02:50:58.090 --> 02:51:02.740
And again, and some
of the media sources,
02:51:02.740 --> 02:51:07.300
if you're listening is that
I just scratch my head
02:51:07.300 --> 02:51:10.740
and what editor let that get passed?
02:51:10.740 --> 02:51:13.210
And you guys get your facts straight.
02:51:13.210 --> 02:51:15.750
Secondly, is that
I've got a lot of emails
02:51:17.770 --> 02:51:21.580
written sort of this breathless pros.
02:51:25.200 --> 02:51:27.066
How dare you?
02:51:27.066 --> 02:51:28.810
How could the State Board of Education
02:51:28.810 --> 02:51:30.340
even consider something like this?
02:51:30.340 --> 02:51:32.880
Well, the answer is, is
that we have a process
02:51:32.880 --> 02:51:37.200
and whatever gets
submitted to us, we consider it.
02:51:37.200 --> 02:51:39.750
We don't have the
option to not consider it.
02:51:39.750 --> 02:51:41.753
We just don't arbitrarily do that.
02:51:43.110 --> 02:51:47.300
If any of you submitted a
book, we would consider it.
02:51:47.300 --> 02:51:49.780
And there'd be some people
like it and some people don't,
02:51:49.780 --> 02:51:51.190
but that's how the process goes.
02:51:51.190 --> 02:51:53.916
And by the way, that's
not the first time we've had
02:51:53.916 --> 02:51:57.340
that indignant comment made us.
02:51:57.340 --> 02:51:58.590
How could you?
02:51:58.590 --> 02:52:00.423
Well, because that's the process.
02:52:02.290 --> 02:52:03.740
I'm also getting a lot of emails.
02:52:03.740 --> 02:52:05.590
I say, well, vote them all down.
02:52:05.590 --> 02:52:07.900
Well, and by the way,
02:52:07.900 --> 02:52:11.333
none of those emails have
suggested an alternative.
02:52:14.910 --> 02:52:16.780
What would you suggest?
02:52:16.780 --> 02:52:18.250
Because the fact of the matter is,
02:52:18.250 --> 02:52:20.500
is that we have a process here
02:52:20.500 --> 02:52:23.140
that's very open and transparent.
02:52:23.140 --> 02:52:26.870
Every single text, every
piece of instructional material,
02:52:26.870 --> 02:52:29.070
every jot and tittle,
02:52:29.070 --> 02:52:31.113
if I can use some King James English,
02:52:31.970 --> 02:52:33.800
is available to the public.
02:52:33.800 --> 02:52:36.440
If you wanna sit up in front
of your computer screen
02:52:36.440 --> 02:52:38.030
in your pajamas, eating Cheetos
02:52:38.030 --> 02:52:40.120
at one o'clock in the morning,
and look at a textbook,
02:52:40.120 --> 02:52:41.960
we're looking at you can do it.
02:52:41.960 --> 02:52:43.060
Completely accessible.
02:52:44.250 --> 02:52:46.840
I will tell you the law does not require
02:52:46.840 --> 02:52:51.060
a local school district to
have a transparent process.
02:52:51.060 --> 02:52:52.470
Not required.
02:52:52.470 --> 02:52:53.393
They can.
02:52:54.290 --> 02:52:56.623
Local citizens should request that,
02:52:57.460 --> 02:52:59.260
but they're not required to do that.
02:53:00.380 --> 02:53:03.233
My issue is, is that if
we adopted nothing,
02:53:04.770 --> 02:53:08.520
is that the school districts
are going to buy something
02:53:10.093 --> 02:53:11.343
and through what process?
02:53:12.450 --> 02:53:14.610
Will the citizens have
access to that process?
02:53:14.610 --> 02:53:16.163
Well, in some cases, they will.
02:53:17.920 --> 02:53:21.040
Now, the whole sex education piece,
02:53:21.040 --> 02:53:22.200
that's at a different animal
02:53:22.200 --> 02:53:24.642
because that's not
what we're doing here.
02:53:24.642 --> 02:53:25.530
That's not what this proclamation.
02:53:25.530 --> 02:53:27.393
It is not sex education.
02:53:28.840 --> 02:53:30.800
And so a local school district
02:53:30.800 --> 02:53:35.600
will purchase health education
materials, which by the way,
02:53:35.600 --> 02:53:38.920
is inclusive of a lot of
material besides sex education.
02:53:38.920 --> 02:53:41.120
And I know that has
just sucked all the oxygen
02:53:41.120 --> 02:53:41.993
out of the room.
02:53:44.540 --> 02:53:47.830
But a local school
health advisory council
02:53:47.830 --> 02:53:51.000
will make a recommendation
related to sex education
02:53:51.000 --> 02:53:53.290
and the local school board of trustees,
02:53:53.290 --> 02:53:55.373
the board of trustees
will act upon that.
02:53:57.560 --> 02:53:59.710
I will tell you that the Governor's
office is very concerned
02:53:59.710 --> 02:54:02.653
about us adopting nothing.
02:54:04.010 --> 02:54:07.610
And then just leaving school districts
02:54:07.610 --> 02:54:08.960
to just find their own way.
02:54:12.016 --> 02:54:13.333
I do have some concerns,
02:54:14.708 --> 02:54:18.230
but sometimes, in these processes,
02:54:18.230 --> 02:54:20.440
we don't get to have everything we want.
02:54:20.440 --> 02:54:23.020
Sometimes you have to
make the best decision.
02:54:23.020 --> 02:54:26.143
It may not be ideal,
02:54:27.500 --> 02:54:28.870
but I think it was Benjamin Franklin
02:54:28.870 --> 02:54:31.370
that said the politics is
the art of the possible.
02:54:32.430 --> 02:54:35.282
And so in spite of the concerns,
02:54:35.282 --> 02:54:37.963
I think the prudent course of action,
02:54:39.280 --> 02:54:44.280
in spite of the clamors is
that to approve something,
02:54:44.930 --> 02:54:47.530
to give school districts
something to work with
02:54:47.530 --> 02:54:49.160
rather than nothing.
02:54:49.160 --> 02:54:49.993
Thank you.
02:54:54.340 --> 02:54:55.210
Simon right here,
02:54:55.210 --> 02:54:57.240
and kinda echo a
little bit and specifically
02:54:57.240 --> 02:54:59.510
about something Member Hickman
brought up about the vacuum
02:54:59.510 --> 02:55:00.840
and that's been talked about.
02:55:00.840 --> 02:55:02.650
The fact that if we adopt nothing
02:55:02.650 --> 02:55:04.510
doesn't mean that districts
don't have to teach us.
02:55:04.510 --> 02:55:06.786
We don't have to use
instruction material.
02:55:06.786 --> 02:55:08.020
They do have to find something else.
02:55:08.020 --> 02:55:10.610
I have not in all my
time, working with this,
02:55:10.610 --> 02:55:14.190
found any other book
that even comes close
02:55:14.190 --> 02:55:17.860
to aligning to the TEKS
that this body developed
02:55:17.860 --> 02:55:21.380
a year ago than this book
that we're developing right now.
02:55:21.380 --> 02:55:25.790
And there are other textbooks
out there that cover health
02:55:26.640 --> 02:55:28.910
from other states, California, New York.
02:55:28.910 --> 02:55:32.600
There are other books out
there that other states use
02:55:32.600 --> 02:55:34.670
that districts can go to.
02:55:34.670 --> 02:55:39.670
Or I think also that we can
give them the best opportunity
02:55:39.960 --> 02:55:44.780
we have to adopt the TEKS
that we have found that's best
02:55:44.780 --> 02:55:47.670
for the students of the state of Texas.
02:55:47.670 --> 02:55:48.800
We voted on Tuesday.
02:55:48.800 --> 02:55:50.950
There's been some changes
that have been alluded to,
02:55:50.950 --> 02:55:52.840
but I wanna bring out
some specific things
02:55:52.840 --> 02:55:56.870
that have changed since we
met and voted on this earlier,
02:55:56.870 --> 02:55:59.570
that the publisher of
Goodheart has made.
02:55:59.570 --> 02:56:02.550
They have specifically made
assurances that students
02:56:02.550 --> 02:56:04.980
are directed to speak with a
parent or other trusted adult
02:56:04.980 --> 02:56:08.220
to make sure that the parent
was brought into the discussion
02:56:08.220 --> 02:56:10.800
wherever that may
have been left out before.
02:56:10.800 --> 02:56:13.320
So that was throughout the text.
02:56:13.320 --> 02:56:17.600
We removed the discussion in
reference to the HIV treatment.
02:56:17.600 --> 02:56:20.310
Significantly revised content
about condom's relationship
02:56:20.310 --> 02:56:22.970
to sexually transmitted infections.
02:56:22.970 --> 02:56:25.610
Revised content that may
have suggested that condoms
02:56:25.610 --> 02:56:28.230
we as effective as abstinence.
02:56:28.230 --> 02:56:30.900
And specifically, we
talked about this one earlier.
02:56:30.900 --> 02:56:34.090
It previously stated, "Two
of the most effective methods
02:56:34.090 --> 02:56:37.079
for preventing STIs
include sexual abstinence
02:56:37.079 --> 02:56:37.912
and the use of condoms."
02:56:37.912 --> 02:56:40.487
The publisher now has
this sentence reading,
02:56:40.487 --> 02:56:42.310
"Sexual abstinence is
the most effective method
02:56:42.310 --> 02:56:43.970
for preventing STIs.
02:56:43.970 --> 02:56:46.480
The use of condoms
can also reduce risk."
02:56:46.480 --> 02:56:48.210
Deleted the phrase, "Assigned from birth
02:56:48.210 --> 02:56:50.500
from the definition of biological sex."
02:56:50.500 --> 02:56:52.210
Revising activity and
what's the students
02:56:52.210 --> 02:56:53.450
diagnosed mental illnesses.
02:56:53.450 --> 02:56:56.250
I had a lot of, my
communications with specifically,
02:56:56.250 --> 02:56:57.697
not just about the sex education,
02:56:57.697 --> 02:57:00.000
but also about mental illnesses.
02:57:00.000 --> 02:57:02.370
So this publisher revised activity
02:57:02.370 --> 02:57:04.282
and what students
diagnosed mental illness,
02:57:04.282 --> 02:57:05.410
or share information about
mental health with their peers
02:57:05.410 --> 02:57:07.450
to ensure students
have the right to privacy
02:57:07.450 --> 02:57:09.770
and are not acting as
health professionals.
02:57:09.770 --> 02:57:12.350
So wherever the book stood,
when we voted on Tuesday,
02:57:12.350 --> 02:57:16.010
I think there's even been a
more significant improvement
02:57:16.010 --> 02:57:21.010
that leaves us in a place to
provide the students of Texas
02:57:21.180 --> 02:57:25.850
in a course that is
required in certain grades
02:57:25.850 --> 02:57:27.750
that we're dealing with here.
02:57:27.750 --> 02:57:30.750
And provides them the best
instruction material we can
02:57:33.105 --> 02:57:35.690
to learn the TEKS
that we expect of them.
02:57:35.690 --> 02:57:39.270
So those are some additional
things I wanted to bring up.
02:57:39.270 --> 02:57:40.103
Ms. Perez-Diaz.
02:57:41.250 --> 02:57:42.530
This
question is for staff.
02:57:42.530 --> 02:57:47.510
So for clarification, Goodheart-Willcox,
02:57:47.510 --> 02:57:49.110
what grade levels do they cover?
02:57:53.400 --> 02:57:56.540
They have
materials for health grade six,
02:57:56.540 --> 02:57:59.892
health seven, eight,
and health one and two,
02:57:59.892 --> 02:58:02.224
as well as one high school PE course.
02:58:02.224 --> 02:58:03.057
Health one and two, okay.
02:58:03.057 --> 02:58:07.800
So I would argue that
while this is quality material
02:58:10.080 --> 02:58:11.880
in terms of alignment
with our standards,
02:58:11.880 --> 02:58:16.880
we just voted down an
elementary potential resource
02:58:17.550 --> 02:58:22.550
that also meets 100%
of the TEKS standards.
02:58:23.040 --> 02:58:25.460
So my question for staff
now is, we've been talking to.
02:58:25.460 --> 02:58:27.439
Ms. Perez-Diaz,
just wanna make sure
02:58:27.439 --> 02:58:28.619
that we stayed to the Goodheart-Willcox.
02:58:28.619 --> 02:58:29.452
Right.
02:58:29.452 --> 02:58:32.443
But I guess I have to know
this because moving forward,
02:58:32.443 --> 02:58:34.180
we need to be able to provide
guidance for our districts.
02:58:34.180 --> 02:58:37.650
What are elementary schools to do now
02:58:37.650 --> 02:58:41.760
because we don't have a
material like Goodheart-Willcox?
02:58:41.760 --> 02:58:44.260
Ms. Perez-Diaz, I don't
think that question is in order.
02:58:44.260 --> 02:58:45.910
We're not discussing anything
02:58:45.910 --> 02:58:47.670
other than the Goodheart book right now.
02:58:47.670 --> 02:58:49.680
Which doesn't cover those grades.
02:58:49.680 --> 02:58:52.190
Okay, well, I mean,
that's a great point.
02:58:52.190 --> 02:58:55.160
There's nothing that
covers those grades, so.
02:58:55.160 --> 02:58:57.987
You can work with staff
offline to answer that question.
02:58:57.987 --> 02:58:59.590
Any other questions from members?
02:58:59.590 --> 02:59:00.640
Any other discussion?
02:59:01.960 --> 02:59:03.460
You're ready to take the vote?
02:59:04.660 --> 02:59:09.660
So, I would ask all those in
favor of approving the motion,
02:59:09.760 --> 02:59:11.163
show by raising your hand.
02:59:12.310 --> 02:59:13.143
I'm sorry.
02:59:14.920 --> 02:59:18.173
All those in favor of the motion,
show by raising your hand.
02:59:21.100 --> 02:59:22.313
Please lower your hands.
02:59:23.530 --> 02:59:25.280
All those opposed by the same sign.
02:59:28.790 --> 02:59:31.483
There are 10 in favor and three opposed.
02:59:32.330 --> 02:59:33.720
The motion carries.
02:59:33.720 --> 02:59:34.753
Motion is adopted.
02:59:35.800 --> 02:59:37.180
Got that?
Thank you.
02:59:40.168 --> 02:59:42.168
Members, let me
get my script back up.
02:59:53.050 --> 02:59:53.883
Okay.
02:59:53.883 --> 02:59:55.880
I believe we are now
on item number four,
02:59:55.880 --> 02:59:58.210
which is the consideration of amendments
02:59:58.210 --> 02:59:59.960
to the Texas Certificate
02:59:59.960 --> 03:00:01.470
of High school Equivalency Contracts.
03:00:01.470 --> 03:00:04.523
It's an on your agenda
exhibit I-5, calling Ms. Little.
03:00:05.890 --> 03:00:07.750
Mr. Chair, the
Committee of the Full Board
03:00:07.750 --> 03:00:10.560
recommends that the State
Board of Education approve
03:00:10.560 --> 03:00:13.380
the GED testing services request
03:00:13.380 --> 03:00:16.520
for a contract amendment
to increase pricing
03:00:16.520 --> 03:00:19.183
for the GED ready practice test.
03:00:21.690 --> 03:00:23.221
Members, you've
heard the motion.
03:00:23.221 --> 03:00:24.221
Is there any debate?
03:00:26.100 --> 03:00:27.810
I just wanna point this out
from members of the public,
03:00:27.810 --> 03:00:29.523
they weren't here the other day,
03:00:29.523 --> 03:00:33.181
we're talking an increase of
99 cents to what it was before.
03:00:33.181 --> 03:00:35.350
$6 to $6.99.
03:00:35.350 --> 03:00:38.353
Any further debate on this
item, is there any objection?
03:00:39.750 --> 03:00:41.960
Hearing none, the motion carries.
03:00:41.960 --> 03:00:42.930
Actually let me restate that.
03:00:42.930 --> 03:00:44.230
There is majority in favor
03:00:45.081 --> 03:00:46.440
and the recommendation is adopted.
03:00:46.440 --> 03:00:51.440

and section 127.785 through 127.787
03:05:01.920 --> 03:05:04.700
is necessary and shall
have an effective date
03:05:04.700 --> 03:05:08.463
of 20 days after filing as
adopted with the Texas Register.
03:05:13.400 --> 03:05:14.763
Good job, Pam.
03:05:15.640 --> 03:05:16.473
All right.
03:05:16.473 --> 03:05:17.980
Do we have some amendments?
03:05:17.980 --> 03:05:18.813
Mr. Maynard.
03:05:20.880 --> 03:05:24.793
Mr. Chairman, the amendment
03:05:24.793 --> 03:05:26.530
that I'm presenting has to do
03:05:26.530 --> 03:05:31.530
with the prerequisites document.
03:05:31.960 --> 03:05:34.710
And that prerequisite document,
my understanding really
03:05:36.110 --> 03:05:38.160
was sort of a late addition
and really didn't have
03:05:38.160 --> 03:05:41.130
the opportunity to
get a full public vetting.
03:05:41.130 --> 03:05:44.990
And so we did run that
past some of our CTE folks
03:05:46.037 --> 03:05:47.430
and we do have a recommendation,
03:05:47.430 --> 03:05:48.950
but it's my understanding
03:05:48.950 --> 03:05:51.280
that we'll need to suspend the rules.
03:05:51.280 --> 03:05:54.240
And so Mr. Chairman,
03:05:54.240 --> 03:05:59.240
I move that we suspend rule
number 5.7 related to amendments
03:06:01.060 --> 03:06:03.740
on second reading and file an adoption.
03:06:03.740 --> 03:06:05.550
Is there any objections?
03:06:05.550 --> 03:06:07.267
Hearing none, so moved.
03:06:07.267 --> 03:06:12.160
Mr. Chairman, I've passed
this out and I move to amend
03:06:14.030 --> 03:06:19.030
the motion by inserting the
language that I passed here.
03:06:22.220 --> 03:06:26.307
Striking the language
that at least one credit,
03:06:26.307 --> 03:06:28.860
and this has to do with
forensic science, by the way.
03:06:28.860 --> 03:06:30.793
This is forensic science.
03:06:31.650 --> 03:06:33.640
In striking the language
that "At least one credit
03:06:33.640 --> 03:06:35.830
in level two or higher
from the law enforcement
03:06:35.830 --> 03:06:38.890
for law and public
safety career cluster"
03:06:38.890 --> 03:06:42.300
and inserting, "Integrated physics
03:06:42.300 --> 03:06:43.927
and chemistry or physics."
03:06:46.956 --> 03:06:48.060
Second.
03:06:48.060 --> 03:06:49.815
If I can
speak to the motion.
03:06:49.815 --> 03:06:51.296
We have a motion
and a second, go ahead.
03:06:51.296 --> 03:06:52.380
And my understanding
03:06:52.380 --> 03:06:55.980
is that, forensic science has typically
03:06:55.980 --> 03:06:59.820
been part of the program
of study in law enforcement.
03:06:59.820 --> 03:07:01.240
But as it turns out,
03:07:01.240 --> 03:07:03.410
a lot of school districts
use forensic science
03:07:03.410 --> 03:07:05.793
in other programs of study
03:07:05.793 --> 03:07:09.180
or they'll even use it
as a standalone science.
03:07:09.180 --> 03:07:14.180
And by limiting, by putting
it very restrictive prerequisite
03:07:16.700 --> 03:07:20.950
from that law and public
safety career cluster pathway,
03:07:22.790 --> 03:07:24.920
then it will keep some school districts
03:07:24.920 --> 03:07:26.460
from offering forensic science
03:07:26.460 --> 03:07:28.660
as a standalone or another applications.
03:07:28.660 --> 03:07:31.060
And so this will add some flexibility
03:07:31.060 --> 03:07:34.380
and actually, it's my understanding
03:07:34.380 --> 03:07:36.760
that the courses now
that we've named here
03:07:36.760 --> 03:07:40.340
will actually give enough
knowledge and skill for them
03:07:40.340 --> 03:07:42.763
to succeed in forensic science.
03:07:45.590 --> 03:07:47.740
Any other
further debate on that?
03:07:52.385 --> 03:07:55.300
All right, we're ready for the vote.
03:07:55.300 --> 03:07:57.570
All those in favor, say aye.
Aye.
03:07:57.570 --> 03:07:59.763
All those opposed, say no.
03:08:00.620 --> 03:08:01.593
Motion carries.
03:08:04.151 --> 03:08:06.488
We can just back to
the main motion, right?
03:08:06.488 --> 03:08:07.321
Do you have any other amendment?
03:08:07.321 --> 03:08:08.420
Ms. Davis, you have some?
03:08:10.370 --> 03:08:11.670
And I've passed mine now.
03:08:11.670 --> 03:08:15.370
I just have a few about the
education and training strand.
03:08:15.370 --> 03:08:17.650
Just to make sure that they're
aligned with best practices
03:08:17.650 --> 03:08:19.683
and TEA initiatives.
03:08:23.510 --> 03:08:26.933
The first one is with principles
of education and training.
03:08:27.970 --> 03:08:29.683
I propose a new 8D.
03:08:31.050 --> 03:08:34.070
Analyze positive behavior
intervention techniques,
03:08:34.070 --> 03:08:36.323
including restorative practices.
03:08:40.089 --> 03:08:43.203
Can we consider
all these as a package?
03:08:46.872 --> 03:08:49.122
I've got no
objection (indistinct).
03:08:53.380 --> 03:08:55.133
I turned it
yesterday on time.
03:08:56.184 --> 03:09:00.101
(woman speaking indistinctly)
03:09:03.440 --> 03:09:06.140
Would you like for me to
just go over all of them at once
03:09:06.140 --> 03:09:07.883
to make it clear, Member Hickman?
03:09:09.494 --> 03:09:10.560
Would that be okay?
03:09:10.560 --> 03:09:15.200
Okay, so for 8E, I actually
had the honor to write that one
03:09:16.447 --> 03:09:19.030
with excuse me, Dr. Young.
03:09:19.030 --> 03:09:21.890
And this is making sure that
our teachers know how to handle
03:09:21.890 --> 03:09:23.860
a classroom that will
have a lot of different types
03:09:23.860 --> 03:09:25.240
of learners in it.
03:09:25.240 --> 03:09:27.740
So develop a differentiated lesson plan
03:09:27.740 --> 03:09:30.860
that includes scaffolding
for all levels of learners.
03:09:30.860 --> 03:09:32.230
And we wanted to make sure our teachers
03:09:32.230 --> 03:09:33.860
had some sort of experience
03:09:33.860 --> 03:09:36.380
developing a lesson
plan where they really had
03:09:36.380 --> 03:09:39.280
to be intentional about their
students with special needs.
03:09:40.480 --> 03:09:43.940
4D, again, that's an agency initiative.
03:09:43.940 --> 03:09:47.440
The agency has Texas Project Restore
03:09:47.440 --> 03:09:49.180
about trauma-informed training,
03:09:49.180 --> 03:09:50.570
especially now with COVID,
03:09:50.570 --> 03:09:53.820
we want our future educators
to be able to handle students
03:09:53.820 --> 03:09:56.710
and whatever it is they
come into our classrooms with.
03:09:56.710 --> 03:10:01.100
So as identify and discuss
adverse childhood experiences
03:10:01.100 --> 03:10:02.870
and their potential impact.
03:10:02.870 --> 03:10:05.540
And the last one is just making sure
03:10:05.540 --> 03:10:10.183
that we include emphasis on
numeracy as well as literacy.
03:10:28.264 --> 03:10:29.901
I have my microphone off.
03:10:29.901 --> 03:10:31.503
(indistinct) asked if
there's any objection,
03:10:31.503 --> 03:10:32.820
there was none in the motion carried.
03:10:32.820 --> 03:10:34.370
Alright, hold on just a second.
03:10:38.560 --> 03:10:39.393
Okay.
03:10:40.310 --> 03:10:41.143
We are now.
03:10:42.992 --> 03:10:44.947
Dr.
Bell-Metereau (indistinct).
03:10:44.947 --> 03:10:47.035
Dr. Bell-Metereau
03:10:47.035 --> 03:10:48.453
I
would like to just ask
03:10:48.453 --> 03:10:50.423
the parliamentarian a question.
03:10:52.070 --> 03:10:53.923
Can you hear me?
Yes.
03:10:55.420 --> 03:11:00.040
Is there
any parliamentary means
03:11:00.040 --> 03:11:03.580
of returning to see if anyone
03:11:03.580 --> 03:11:07.623
might have changed
their mind about Quaver?
03:11:12.230 --> 03:11:15.230
So the chairman
has turned to me,
03:11:15.230 --> 03:11:16.940
which means that he, I believe
03:11:16.940 --> 03:11:19.080
would like for me to fill this one.
03:11:19.080 --> 03:11:21.940
The motion that could
be made at this point
03:11:21.940 --> 03:11:24.460
is the motion to reconsider.
03:11:24.460 --> 03:11:27.560
It must be made at the
same meeting or in meetings
03:11:27.560 --> 03:11:31.140
of more than one day, the next day.
03:11:31.140 --> 03:11:36.103
So it's got a fairly short
shelf life and to prevent abuse.
03:11:37.480 --> 03:11:40.790
Roberts requires that the
person who makes the motion
03:11:40.790 --> 03:11:45.340
to reconsider must've
voted on the prevailing side
03:11:45.340 --> 03:11:46.950
of the prior motion.
03:11:46.950 --> 03:11:51.950
And Roberts requires
that as a way of ensuring
03:11:52.900 --> 03:11:56.220
that there is a possibility
of a different outcome.
03:11:56.220 --> 03:12:00.430
So the motion to
reconsider could be made,
03:12:00.430 --> 03:12:04.080
but must be made by
someone who did not vote
03:12:04.920 --> 03:12:08.340
in favor of the original
adoption of Quaver.
03:12:08.340 --> 03:12:12.760
There is no other path
back to that at this meeting
03:12:12.760 --> 03:12:15.330
Chairman, I
don't think y'all finished
03:12:15.330 --> 03:12:16.943
the current item.
03:12:17.830 --> 03:12:21.410
So if we could just get that
final vote on Chapter 127,
03:12:21.410 --> 03:12:22.850
we'd appreciate it.
03:12:22.850 --> 03:12:26.120
So just to clarify,
we did the amendment.
03:12:26.120 --> 03:12:29.580
Now we need to as amended, okay.
03:12:29.580 --> 03:12:31.530
So on our current item,
03:12:31.530 --> 03:12:34.913
is there any objection to the
main motion as amended?
03:12:36.540 --> 03:12:39.183
Hearing none, the main
motion as amended is adopted.
03:12:40.330 --> 03:12:41.970
I was just wondering
if you could maybe restate
03:12:41.970 --> 03:12:43.683
the main motion for us.
03:12:43.683 --> 03:12:44.666
No.
I'm just kidding.
03:12:44.666 --> 03:12:45.499
(laughter)
03:12:45.499 --> 03:12:47.443
Not today. (laughs)
03:12:49.426 --> 03:12:52.450
(woman speaking indistinctly)
03:12:52.450 --> 03:12:54.320
All right, I believe now we're in items,
03:12:54.320 --> 03:12:55.900
okay, nope, actually.
03:12:55.900 --> 03:12:57.620
We were still just
having a discussion there.
03:12:57.620 --> 03:13:00.980
So you gave your clarification.
03:13:00.980 --> 03:13:03.680
The only scenario is if someone
made a motion to reconsider
03:13:03.680 --> 03:13:05.690
who was on the prevailing side.
03:13:05.690 --> 03:13:06.523
Okay?
03:13:08.910 --> 03:13:10.410
Any further questions on that?
03:13:11.510 --> 03:13:12.343
Ms. Davis.
03:13:13.241 --> 03:13:14.640
I have a clarifying question.
03:13:14.640 --> 03:13:18.510
So Goodheart was secondary
and Quaver was elementary, right?
03:13:18.510 --> 03:13:20.420
So right now, there is
nothing for elementary,
03:13:20.420 --> 03:13:22.760
but we have something
for secondary, right?
03:13:22.760 --> 03:13:24.160
Okay, I'm just making clear.
03:13:26.080 --> 03:13:27.180
Okay.
03:13:27.180 --> 03:13:29.350
Hearing nothing else, we'll
go on to item number six.
03:13:29.350 --> 03:13:31.690
Proposed appeal of 19 TAC Chapter 130.
03:13:31.690 --> 03:13:33.793
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
03:13:33.793 --> 03:13:35.354
for Career and Technical Education.
03:13:35.354 --> 03:13:36.750
Am I on the right one?
03:13:36.750 --> 03:13:37.770
Okay.
03:13:37.770 --> 03:13:41.490
Subchapter E, 130.161 to 130.66.
03:13:41.490 --> 03:13:44.250
Subchapter G, 130.201 to 130.211.
03:13:44.250 --> 03:13:47.550
Subchapter H, 130.221 to 234.
03:13:47.550 --> 03:13:50.190
Subchapter I, 130.251 to 263.
03:13:50.190 --> 03:13:53.770
Subchapter L, 133.31 to 133.43.
03:13:53.770 --> 03:13:57.120
Subchapter O, 134.1 to 134.35.
03:13:57.120 --> 03:13:59.310
And proposed new 19 the Chapter 127
03:13:59.310 --> 03:14:01.630
Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills for Career Development.
03:14:01.630 --> 03:14:06.630
Subchapter G, 127.309 to 127.314.
03:14:06.880 --> 03:14:10.600
Subchapter I, 127.402 to 127.415.
03:14:10.600 --> 03:14:13.970
Subchapter J, 127.468 to 127.480.
03:14:13.970 --> 03:14:16.790
Subchapter M, 127.625 to 648.
03:14:16.790 --> 03:14:21.403
And Subchapter O, 127.742 to 776.
03:14:21.403 --> 03:14:23.000
This is first reading and
following authorization.
03:14:23.000 --> 03:14:26.223
Some pages, I-189 in
your agenda, Ms. Little.
03:14:28.020 --> 03:14:29.810
Mr. Chair, the
Committee of the Full Board
03:14:29.810 --> 03:14:32.620
recommends that the
State Board of Education
03:14:32.620 --> 03:14:35.773
approve what you just said. (laughs)
03:14:36.700 --> 03:14:38.094
Can I do it that way?
03:14:38.094 --> 03:14:39.051
Yes, you can.
03:14:39.051 --> 03:14:39.960
There is no objection.
03:14:39.960 --> 03:14:40.793
You can do anything.
03:14:40.793 --> 03:14:42.450
As long as
everyone understands
03:14:42.450 --> 03:14:43.950
what the motion is before you.
03:14:43.950 --> 03:14:45.520
My motion is to approve
03:14:45.520 --> 03:14:48.297
what the chair just moved.
03:14:48.297 --> 03:14:50.547
(laughter)
03:14:54.480 --> 03:14:56.370
Any further discussion?
03:14:56.370 --> 03:14:57.912
Hearing none.
03:14:57.912 --> 03:14:59.070
Is there any objection?
03:14:59.070 --> 03:15:01.370
Hearing none, the motion carries.
03:15:01.370 --> 03:15:04.960
We are now on item number seven.
03:15:04.960 --> 03:15:07.180
Which is update on Texas
Essential Knowledge and Skills
03:15:07.180 --> 03:15:08.790
in TEKS review.
03:15:08.790 --> 03:15:11.490
The agenda exhibit I-213.
03:15:11.490 --> 03:15:12.930
Ms. Little.
03:15:12.930 --> 03:15:14.650
Mr. Chair, there
was no action taken
03:15:14.650 --> 03:15:17.063
by the Committee of the
Full Board on this item.
03:15:19.380 --> 03:15:21.250
Any other discussion
on this item?
03:15:21.250 --> 03:15:22.850
Anything from staff on this one?
03:15:28.250 --> 03:15:31.457
All right, we are on
item number eight now
03:15:31.457 --> 03:15:33.937
in Committee of Instruction.
Ms. Melton-Malone.
03:15:33.937 --> 03:15:34.770
Are you ready?
03:15:34.770 --> 03:15:36.995
We're on number item number eight.
03:15:36.995 --> 03:15:39.830
Proposed approval of
innovative courses on page 2-12
03:15:39.830 --> 03:15:41.320
of your agenda.
03:15:41.320 --> 03:15:42.550
The
Committee on Instruction
03:15:42.550 --> 03:15:44.420
has no recommendations for the board
03:15:44.420 --> 03:15:46.250
because there were no innovative courses
03:15:46.250 --> 03:15:49.613
that were turned in prior to
this meeting for us to vote on.
03:15:55.110 --> 03:15:55.943
Mr. Maynard,
03:15:55.943 --> 03:15:57.652
we're in the Committee
of the School Finance,
03:15:57.652 --> 03:15:58.900
permanent school fund.
03:15:58.900 --> 03:15:59.860
You think you got for us?
03:15:59.860 --> 03:16:01.240
Sure, we don't
have any extra items.
03:16:01.240 --> 03:16:04.550
Everything else was on
what was on the consent.
03:16:04.550 --> 03:16:08.883
I will tell you that, but just briefly.
03:16:13.180 --> 03:16:15.120
We did have a little bit
of a discussion related
03:16:15.120 --> 03:16:19.160
to the bond guarantee program
03:16:19.160 --> 03:16:21.470
is that when we are
going to run out of capacity
03:16:21.470 --> 03:16:22.700
and we think it's somewhere
03:16:22.700 --> 03:16:24.380
between two and two and a half years,
03:16:24.380 --> 03:16:26.009
and we're trying to work
03:16:26.009 --> 03:16:28.060
with the federal government to do that.
03:16:28.060 --> 03:16:31.160
Secondly is that just so
everybody understands
03:16:32.393 --> 03:16:37.393
is that with the passage of
the Certificate of Formation,
03:16:37.450 --> 03:16:40.880
hour hope that the corporation board
03:16:40.880 --> 03:16:44.130
will probably meet next
month, early next month.
03:16:44.130 --> 03:16:46.190
We did have a conversation
with the Governor's office
03:16:46.190 --> 03:16:48.830
in terms of their appointees.
03:16:48.830 --> 03:16:50.190
And hopefully that we get them online
03:16:50.190 --> 03:16:52.883
and we can move forward
with that corporation.
03:16:54.310 --> 03:16:56.610
Ms. Cruz, we might need
a parliamentarian, so.
03:16:57.673 --> 03:16:58.506
Okay.
03:16:59.592 --> 03:17:00.747
I'm available.
All right.
03:17:00.747 --> 03:17:02.197
But that's all, Mr. Chairman.
03:17:04.470 --> 03:17:05.303
Got it.
03:17:07.610 --> 03:17:10.600
Dr. Robinson, we are now in
the community school initiative.
03:17:10.600 --> 03:17:12.804
So I don't remember nine is approval
03:17:12.804 --> 03:17:14.280
of required school safety
training for district trustees
03:17:14.280 --> 03:17:16.533
and page 4-14 of our agenda.
03:17:18.260 --> 03:17:20.560
All right, Mr. Chair,
03:17:20.560 --> 03:17:22.570
the committee on school
initiatives recommends
03:17:22.570 --> 03:17:24.350
that the State Board of Education
03:17:24.350 --> 03:17:26.890
approve the school safety
training curriculum materials
03:17:26.890 --> 03:17:29.363
developed by the Texas
School Safety Center.
03:17:34.871 --> 03:17:38.950
Is there any further debate
or discussion on this one?
03:17:38.950 --> 03:17:40.980
Was there any, Ms. Davis?
03:17:40.980 --> 03:17:43.590
I just wanna take time to
thank the school Safety Center
03:17:43.590 --> 03:17:47.120
and Sergeant Sheldon Smith
from Dallas for coming together
03:17:47.120 --> 03:17:50.220
to make an awesome
training for our trustees.
03:17:50.220 --> 03:17:53.170
I'm excited that they'll
have access to this resource,
03:17:53.170 --> 03:17:54.510
especially with everything going on
03:17:54.510 --> 03:17:56.200
in keeping our kids safe.
03:17:56.200 --> 03:17:58.980
So I'm appreciative
for the whole process,
03:17:58.980 --> 03:18:01.250
but Sergeant Sheldon Smith,
03:18:01.250 --> 03:18:02.480
thank you so much for
the difference you've made
03:18:02.480 --> 03:18:04.683
in making sure our kids are safe.
03:18:08.610 --> 03:18:11.270
Mr. Chairman, during
our committee meeting,
03:18:11.270 --> 03:18:14.310
we also heard testimony about
maybe making some changes
03:18:14.310 --> 03:18:15.910
and I understand School Safety Center
03:18:15.910 --> 03:18:18.010
may be proposing some changes
03:18:18.010 --> 03:18:20.120
and I'm open to reviewing those.
03:18:20.120 --> 03:18:24.310
But for now, I'm voting
to approve them as is.
03:18:24.310 --> 03:18:25.670
And if and when changes come,
03:18:25.670 --> 03:18:27.813
we could consider
them at a future meeting.
03:18:31.240 --> 03:18:33.180
One of the recommendations
that I made directly
03:18:33.180 --> 03:18:34.370
to the School Safety Center
03:18:34.370 --> 03:18:37.660
was to make sure that
they include students
03:18:37.660 --> 03:18:41.950
who are mobility impaired
in their training as well.
03:18:41.950 --> 03:18:43.610
And to include those at the time,
03:18:43.610 --> 03:18:46.900
that was not part of
what they were designing.
03:18:46.900 --> 03:18:49.267
I would like to see, in the future
03:18:49.267 --> 03:18:52.470
once they have completed all of it,
03:18:52.470 --> 03:18:57.470
that they also include
school safety for students
03:18:57.960 --> 03:18:59.603
who have special needs.
03:19:05.404 --> 03:19:09.583
Just if I may
clarify, Dr. Young, are you,
03:19:11.050 --> 03:19:13.680
so Mr. Hickman indicated
in the next version
03:19:13.680 --> 03:19:15.920
of the training that he was willing,
03:19:15.920 --> 03:19:16.753
is that what you're
talking about as well?
03:19:16.753 --> 03:19:18.300
Okay.
03:19:18.300 --> 03:19:19.133
Yes ma'am.
03:19:19.133 --> 03:19:22.220
They hadn't previously
planned on that specificity
03:19:22.220 --> 03:19:24.470
in their training, but they did see
03:19:24.470 --> 03:19:26.260
that there's a need
for that in the future.
03:19:26.260 --> 03:19:28.560
And so I would like to
see that in the future.
03:19:31.040 --> 03:19:31.873
Good stuff.
03:19:34.320 --> 03:19:36.020
Any other discussion on this item?
03:19:37.070 --> 03:19:37.903
Any objection?
03:19:38.800 --> 03:19:40.563
Hearing none, the motion carries.
03:19:42.320 --> 03:19:45.943
Item number 10 is review
of proposed amendments
03:19:45.943 --> 03:19:47.200
in 19 TAC Chapter 229.
03:19:47.200 --> 03:19:50.070
Accountability system for
educator preparation programs.
03:19:50.070 --> 03:19:52.390
On your agenda 4-16.
03:19:52.390 --> 03:19:53.370
Dr. Robinson.
03:19:53.370 --> 03:19:54.832
Mr. Chair,
03:19:54.832 --> 03:19:56.130
the Committee on School
Initiatives recommends
03:19:56.130 --> 03:19:59.744
that the State Board of
Education take no action
03:19:59.744 --> 03:20:03.090
on the proposed amendments
in 19 TAC Chapter 229
03:20:03.090 --> 03:20:06.433
accountability system for
educator preparation programs.
03:20:09.810 --> 03:20:12.670
Is there any questions
or any further discussion
03:20:12.670 --> 03:20:13.877
on this item?
03:20:13.877 --> 03:20:15.660
Mr. Davis.
03:20:15.660 --> 03:20:18.480
Just a little bit about why
we chose to take no action.
03:20:18.480 --> 03:20:23.480
They were asking to have a
waiver of giving the ASVAB.
03:20:23.680 --> 03:20:26.340
But you do have to come
in person to take the star.
03:20:26.340 --> 03:20:28.060
And there are several
other tests you do have
03:20:28.060 --> 03:20:29.680
to come in person to take.
03:20:29.680 --> 03:20:31.440
So we couldn't figure out a reason
03:20:31.440 --> 03:20:34.250
why they would not want to
give ASVAB to their students.
03:20:34.250 --> 03:20:36.570
And we had a discussion
on whether or not the ASVAB
03:20:36.570 --> 03:20:39.090
would still be available
to those students
03:20:39.090 --> 03:20:40.816
if the school didn't give it.
03:20:40.816 --> 03:20:42.353
So that's why we
chose to take no action.
03:20:43.190 --> 03:20:45.373
Chairman.
Ms. Martinez.
03:20:45.373 --> 03:20:46.770
Just to clarify.
03:20:46.770 --> 03:20:51.085
What Ms. Davis was
referencing was the item
03:20:51.085 --> 03:20:54.548
on the applicability I think.
03:20:54.548 --> 03:20:55.634
And this one is the.
03:20:55.634 --> 03:20:56.538
(man speaking indistinctly)
03:20:56.538 --> 03:20:57.371
Yeah.
03:20:57.371 --> 03:20:58.702
Is that coming up or
did we already get past it?
03:20:58.702 --> 03:21:03.260
So that one was
actually a discussion.
03:21:03.260 --> 03:21:05.850
If the committee wanted
to bring that forward,
03:21:05.850 --> 03:21:08.960
we would bring a rule
item at a future meeting.
03:21:08.960 --> 03:21:11.730
But I think the majority of the members
03:21:11.730 --> 03:21:13.660
of the committee did not agree
03:21:13.660 --> 03:21:16.310
that that rule item
needed to come forward.
03:21:16.310 --> 03:21:18.410
I think that was the discussion
03:21:18.410 --> 03:21:23.203
of that particular item as
Ms. Davis just discussed.
03:21:25.810 --> 03:21:26.997
Okay.
03:21:26.997 --> 03:21:28.403
So any other discussion on that one?
03:21:32.097 --> 03:21:33.507
All right.
03:21:33.507 --> 03:21:35.740
Is there any objection?
03:21:35.740 --> 03:21:37.483
Hearing none, the motion carries,
03:21:38.350 --> 03:21:40.513
I believe that's the end of the agenda.
03:21:41.417 --> 03:21:42.630
Am I correct?
03:21:42.630 --> 03:21:43.463
All right, members.
03:21:43.463 --> 03:21:45.313
This has been a long week.
03:21:46.210 --> 03:21:49.400
This has been a lot
of work that was done.
03:21:49.400 --> 03:21:50.900
Just again, wanna thank everyone
03:21:50.900 --> 03:21:54.270
for their time and their
commitment for what they do here.
03:21:54.270 --> 03:21:58.560
This is a time when we
often just take a deep breath
03:21:58.560 --> 03:22:03.560
and get back to really
have maybe some thoughts
03:22:03.810 --> 03:22:05.960
and discussions about what we all are.
03:22:05.960 --> 03:22:07.810
Just regular people and human beings
03:22:07.810 --> 03:22:09.410
and who we have in our lives
03:22:09.410 --> 03:22:11.980
outside of the heavy weight
of the work that we do here.
03:22:11.980 --> 03:22:16.028
So we'll open this up
for any positive comments
03:22:16.028 --> 03:22:20.949
of what's going on in
your district and anything
03:22:20.949 --> 03:22:23.860
that's going on in your own families.
03:22:23.860 --> 03:22:24.693
Ms. Little.
03:22:25.640 --> 03:22:26.850
Well, next
time you see me,
03:22:26.850 --> 03:22:31.130
I will have had another
grand baby, a grand daughter.
03:22:31.130 --> 03:22:33.510
And even though it's
my fourth grandchild,
03:22:33.510 --> 03:22:35.490
it's my first granddaughter.
03:22:35.490 --> 03:22:36.790
So we are so excited.
03:22:36.790 --> 03:22:39.510
She's due Monday.
03:22:39.510 --> 03:22:41.060
And you can I'm tearing up.
03:22:41.060 --> 03:22:42.907
I can't wait to see her.
03:22:46.470 --> 03:22:47.327
Ms. Hardy.
03:22:49.623 --> 03:22:51.950
You know, we always wonder
03:22:51.950 --> 03:22:56.950
if the credibility of the staff,
the whole crew, you guys,
03:22:57.010 --> 03:23:00.802
but to have gotten this
notebook out to us today.
03:23:00.802 --> 03:23:02.090
(woman speaking indistinctly)
03:23:02.090 --> 03:23:02.923
Huh?
03:23:03.831 --> 03:23:05.510
I don't think
that came from them.
03:23:05.510 --> 03:23:06.580
Oh, how did it come?
03:23:06.580 --> 03:23:08.757
Well, they are quite
in credibility though.
03:23:08.757 --> 03:23:10.340
(laughter)
03:23:10.340 --> 03:23:12.293
It came from another person.
03:23:14.670 --> 03:23:16.970
But the staff is very incredible.
03:23:16.970 --> 03:23:18.300
I thought my goodness.
03:23:18.300 --> 03:23:20.510
Say you've almost
written a book out here
03:23:20.510 --> 03:23:22.275
and given it to us.
03:23:22.275 --> 03:23:23.733
They could've done it.
03:23:23.733 --> 03:23:24.691
They could've done it.
03:23:24.691 --> 03:23:28.028
I didn't doubt that you did it. (laughs)
03:23:28.028 --> 03:23:28.861
Ms. Perez.
03:23:30.187 --> 03:23:32.720
And thank you for
going first, Ms. Little,
03:23:32.720 --> 03:23:35.300
because it makes everybody
else's accomplishments
03:23:35.300 --> 03:23:38.243
so diminished. (laughs)
03:23:40.092 --> 03:23:44.683
Yours really is far better
than anything I'm going to say.
03:23:45.600 --> 03:23:47.410
I did want to let my colleagues know
03:23:47.410 --> 03:23:50.540
that because of your
support for my work here,
03:23:50.540 --> 03:23:51.550
I have two announcements.
03:23:51.550 --> 03:23:54.680
Number one, I have been selected to join
03:23:54.680 --> 03:23:57.230
the National Board of Directors
03:23:57.230 --> 03:23:59.630
of the Network for Public Education.
03:23:59.630 --> 03:24:03.650
And the National Association
for State Boards of Education
03:24:03.650 --> 03:24:05.840
has asked me to develop
their equity framework
03:24:05.840 --> 03:24:08.283
for all State Boards of Education.
03:24:09.466 --> 03:24:10.661
Thank you, all.
03:24:10.661 --> 03:24:11.494
(applause)
03:24:11.494 --> 03:24:12.327
Any others?
03:24:13.190 --> 03:24:14.430
Dr. Allen.
03:24:14.430 --> 03:24:17.410
District four will be
celebrating a holiday this week.
03:24:17.410 --> 03:24:19.362
I think we call it Thanksgiving.
03:24:19.362 --> 03:24:20.195
(laughter)
03:24:20.195 --> 03:24:21.800
And I think we wanna celebrate
03:24:21.800 --> 03:24:24.140
that a number of families
coming together for the first time
03:24:24.140 --> 03:24:25.593
in probably two years.
03:24:25.593 --> 03:24:27.560
So I just really wanted to wish each
03:24:27.560 --> 03:24:29.860
and every one of you
all a happy Thanksgiving.
03:24:31.410 --> 03:24:32.640
Anything else?
03:24:32.640 --> 03:24:33.783
Well, Ms. Little.
03:24:36.400 --> 03:24:39.830
I became a grandmother
on November 1st
03:24:39.830 --> 03:24:41.850
and this is our younger daughter
03:24:41.850 --> 03:24:46.202
who is a intensive care nurse.
03:24:46.202 --> 03:24:49.420
And she, toward the
end of her pregnancy,
03:24:49.420 --> 03:24:52.050
got COVID even though
she was fully vaccinated
03:24:52.050 --> 03:24:54.210
because of the clientele she works with,
03:24:54.210 --> 03:24:56.170
but she did not get a chance
03:24:56.170 --> 03:24:59.170
to get her sonogram at that point.
03:24:59.170 --> 03:25:01.250
And then when she
finally got her sonogram,
03:25:01.250 --> 03:25:02.130
the baby was breached,
03:25:02.130 --> 03:25:04.680
just sitting there in
the pelvis going, hmm.
03:25:04.680 --> 03:25:07.630
And so it was very nerve wracking
03:25:07.630 --> 03:25:10.150
when she was going into surgery
03:25:10.150 --> 03:25:12.961
because I was teaching my classes.
03:25:12.961 --> 03:25:15.090
And I kept thinking, okay,
she should be going in now.
03:25:15.090 --> 03:25:17.560
And I'd check in and
they'd say, no, it's delayed.
03:25:17.560 --> 03:25:18.660
Should be going in now.
03:25:18.660 --> 03:25:19.820
No, it's delayed.
03:25:19.820 --> 03:25:23.870
And finally right before my
graduate class of the evening,
03:25:23.870 --> 03:25:25.880
they were going into surgery.
03:25:25.880 --> 03:25:30.350
So I did not hear until
the very end of that day
03:25:30.350 --> 03:25:31.610
of that teaching day,
03:25:31.610 --> 03:25:35.090
that everything was okay
and they're in great shape.
03:25:35.090 --> 03:25:38.020
And we went to visit that baby.
03:25:38.020 --> 03:25:41.050
And as any grandparent knows,
03:25:41.050 --> 03:25:45.660
it's just the most
incredible experience.
03:25:45.660 --> 03:25:47.860
And I would probably
crying now if I hadn't cried
03:25:47.860 --> 03:25:49.518
all the way through the concert.
03:25:49.518 --> 03:25:50.537
(laughter)
03:25:50.537 --> 03:25:52.650
So luckily, I had a mask to cover it up.
03:25:52.650 --> 03:25:53.814
Thank you.
03:25:53.814 --> 03:25:54.699
Ms. Davis.
03:25:54.699 --> 03:25:58.930
I just wanna say
Dr. Bell-Metereau, Member Hickman,
03:25:58.930 --> 03:26:01.080
Dr. Young, it's been a year with y'all
03:26:01.080 --> 03:26:03.170
and it's been so
awesome serving with you.
03:26:03.170 --> 03:26:05.870
Each of you, we've talked offline
03:26:05.870 --> 03:26:07.770
and I've learned so
much from all of y'all.
03:26:07.770 --> 03:26:09.990
So I just wanna say
it's been a fantastic year
03:26:09.990 --> 03:26:12.760
with each of you and
welcome to the madness
03:26:12.760 --> 03:26:13.960
of the State Board of Education,
03:26:13.960 --> 03:26:15.930
but y'all have each done an amazing job.
03:26:15.930 --> 03:26:17.390
Oh, I'm sorry, Dr. Johnson.
03:26:17.390 --> 03:26:21.027
But you seem like
you're been here forever.
03:26:21.027 --> 03:26:21.860
She's gonna say
03:26:21.860 --> 03:26:23.210
a whole separate thing just for you.
03:26:23.210 --> 03:26:24.180
Yes, yes.
03:26:24.180 --> 03:26:27.110
So I appreciate getting to know y'all
03:26:27.110 --> 03:26:28.669
and working with y'all.
03:26:28.669 --> 03:26:31.713
(man speaking indistinctly)
03:26:31.713 --> 03:26:33.560
You would
have gotten appreciated
03:26:33.560 --> 03:26:34.893
if you weren't so mean.
03:26:35.828 --> 03:26:37.165
(laughs)
03:26:37.165 --> 03:26:38.123
I've been teasing him about that.
03:26:38.123 --> 03:26:39.530
Ms. David's might
go pick up your dry cleaner
03:26:39.530 --> 03:26:40.430
for you this week.
03:26:42.570 --> 03:26:43.523
Dr. Robinson.
03:26:44.550 --> 03:26:46.910
I wanna
commend and recognize
03:26:46.910 --> 03:26:48.990
our chair for doing in my opinion,
03:26:48.990 --> 03:26:52.390
exceptional job this week
and working over time
03:26:52.390 --> 03:26:54.390
and navigating the difficult issue
03:26:54.390 --> 03:26:56.170
of instructional materials, thank you.
03:26:56.170 --> 03:26:57.003
Thank you, Dr. Robinson.
03:26:57.003 --> 03:26:58.250
I appreciate that.
03:26:58.250 --> 03:26:59.880
Anybody else before I give mine?
03:26:59.880 --> 03:27:00.820
And last but not least,
03:27:00.820 --> 03:27:03.390
I wanna let my member
know that November the first
03:27:03.390 --> 03:27:05.400
is an excellent day to be born on
03:27:05.400 --> 03:27:08.163
because that's my birthday. (laughs)
03:27:11.130 --> 03:27:14.500
Well, and the next time
we convene will be January.
03:27:14.500 --> 03:27:16.123
So I guess Merry Christmas is.
03:27:16.996 --> 03:27:18.303
And a happy new year.
Happy new year.
03:27:18.303 --> 03:27:22.463
And all it is also Feliz
Navidad is in order.
03:27:23.370 --> 03:27:25.389
We're all together
in one place, at least.
03:27:25.389 --> 03:27:27.340
We might have a little
meeting to take care of that.
03:27:27.340 --> 03:27:28.610
Anybody else?
03:27:28.610 --> 03:27:31.680
So I am going to give
Dr. Bell-Metereau and Ms. Little
03:27:31.680 --> 03:27:33.592
a run for their money.
03:27:33.592 --> 03:27:34.712
I heard about that.
03:27:34.712 --> 03:27:35.545
Yes.
03:27:35.545 --> 03:27:39.330
Because my daughter
and my favorite son-in-law,
03:27:39.330 --> 03:27:43.570
my only son-in-law, Katie
and Jeff Rountree next June
03:27:43.570 --> 03:27:46.370
are gonna have Benjamin Ellis Rountree.
03:27:46.370 --> 03:27:49.450
And we were incredibly
excited for the first grandchild.
03:27:49.450 --> 03:27:51.920
First great-grandchild
on all sides of the family
03:27:51.920 --> 03:27:53.510
and really excited.
03:27:53.510 --> 03:27:57.210
So that's a big, exciting news for us.
03:27:57.210 --> 03:27:59.740
And as we wrap up,
again, it's been said,
03:27:59.740 --> 03:28:02.630
but incredible thanks to the staff.
03:28:02.630 --> 03:28:05.080
The overtime, the effort, the work.
03:28:05.080 --> 03:28:06.640
We can be here and do all the work,
03:28:06.640 --> 03:28:08.090
but we couldn't do our work without you.
03:28:08.090 --> 03:28:11.500
So I wanna give a big, huge
shout out as we always do,
03:28:11.500 --> 03:28:13.860
but it can't be said
enough for all the work
03:28:13.860 --> 03:28:15.240
that y'all do for us.
03:28:15.240 --> 03:28:16.910
So we appreciate that very much.
03:28:16.910 --> 03:28:18.907
That being said, we stand adjourned.
