[7. Chancellor and Board Announcements]
I APPRECIATE THE BOARDS FOCUS ON THE BUDGET, THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF THE RECOMMENDATION.
AS I SAID EARLIER, THERE IS SOME TO BE PART OF THE BUDGET AND HOW THIS INSTITUTION IS INVESTED IN OUR STUDENTS, THE COMMUNITY AND EMPLOYERS.
SECOND OF ALL, I WANT TO MENTION, USE OR RECENTLY THE TRAGIC FIRES THAT OCCURRED WHERE 26 HOMES WERE DAMAGED.
I APPRECIATE DOCTOR TAYLOR AND DOCTOR JOSEPH AND OTHERS THAT REALLY BANDED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THAT COMMUNITY.
AND IT IS JUST A REFLECTION OF THE WORK DALLAS COLLEGE EMPLOYEES DO TO SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED WHEN THE TIME COMES.
I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS, I WILL PROBABLY EMBARRASSED BY MENTIONING THIS BUT, JUAN GARCIA, CHIEF OF STAFF, WHO HAS BEEN WITH US, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
[00:05:02]
WITH US NOW? HE WAS RECENTLY RECOGNIZED BY THE DALLAS BUSINESS AS 40 UNDER 40.[APPLAUSE] THEY LOOK THROUGH HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS AND NOMINATIONS AND SELECT PEOPLE THAT ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP AND IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND SERVE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT NORTH TEXAS.
CLEARLY HE GOT THAT RECOGNITION BUT ANYWAY, VERY PROUD OF HIM AND HIS ASSOCIATION WITH US.
AND THEN, ALSO, I WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE AN IMPENDING RETIREMENT RECURRING.
I WOULD ASK DOCTOR FLOYD TO COME UP AND ANNA MAE AS WELL.
ANNA IS LEAVING US AFTER A LONG CAREER THAT I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH HER AT CEDAR VALLEY.
AND IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ROLES SHE SERVED AS VICE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND SHE AND I WORKED TOGETHER WHEN SHE CAME DOWN AND TRANSITIONED TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE AT THE TIME.
AS MUCH AS WE TALK ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF DUAL CREDIT AND EARLY HIGH SCHOOL WHEN HE IS NOT ALWAYS BEEN EASY.
ANNA WOULD PLOW AHEAD, CHARGE THROUGH, WORKING INTERNALLY, WORKING AT ISD PARTNERS TO REALLY EXPAND THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR TH STUDENTS.
SO, ANNA, YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE MISSED.
>> THANK YOU CHANCELLOR CHAIR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
IT WAS REALLY HARD TO SORT OF PUT TOGETHER WORDS TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING ANNA HAS DONE FOR US, BEEN FOR US AND SO, I BORROWED SOME WORDS TODAY.
AND THEN I WROTE SOME WORDS TO HONOR.
AN EXCERPT FROM -- BY WALT WHITMAN.
BE NOT ASHAMED, WOMAN, YOUR PRIVILEGE AND CLOSES THE REST.
YOU ARE THE GATES OF THE BODY AND YOU ARE THE GATES OF THE SOUL.
THE FEMALE CONTAINS ALL QUALITIES AND TEMPERS THEM.
SHE IS IN HER PLACE AND MOVES WITH PERFECT BALANCE.
SHE IS ALL THINGS, SHE IS BOTH PASSIVE AND ACTIVE.
SHE IS TO CONCEIVE DAUGHTERS AS WELL AS SONS, AND SONS AS WELL AS DAUGHTERS.
THANK YOU, ANNA, FOR EMBODYING BALANCE.
THANK YOU FOR DEMONSTRATING DEDICATION AND HARD WORK.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FAITHFUL GUIDE TO SO MANY OF US, AS WE ENTERED INTO AND NAVIGATED DALLAS COLLEGE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING TEACHER, CONVENE OR, COLLABORATOR AND FRIEND.
WE WILL MISS YOU, I WILL MISS YOU! THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE] >> BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS REALLY COMING TO THANK THE BOARD, BUT I AM THINKING YOU FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AS WELL.
YOU HAVE BOTH BEEN WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH.
I HAVE WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AT CEDAR VALLEY FOR ALMOST 9 YEARS, 10 YEARS, AND THEN HERE SEVEN YEARS.
BEFORE THAT, CAME FROM SINCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHERE I WORKED OVER 25 YEARS AND I WANT TO SAY, I GOT A CHANCE TO COMPARE BOARDS AND THIS BOARD HAS REALLY BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND THE STUDENTS TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN MOST BOARDS ARE.
AND I THINK IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE PERSONALLY COMMITTED TO THE MISSION.
AND THAT MISSION HAS REALLY BEEN EMBODIED IN THE EXPANSION OF DUAL CREDIT.
WE'VE EXPANDED 133 PERCENT SINCE 2015.
AND NOW WE ARE AT OVER 29,000 STUDENTS PER YEAR, WHICH IS ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE STUDENT POPULATION AND I WAS REALLY PRIVILEGED TO WORK WITH YOU, TO THINK ABOUT HOW TO STRUCTURE THIS AND GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT FROM BOTH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR OWN PERSPECTIVE AND I REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I HOPE YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE AND THE 40 STAFF AND
[00:10:05]
ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE REALLY INVOLVED AND COMMITTED ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR STUDENTS.THE 2200 PROSPECTIVE GRADUATES RELY ON YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
[APPLAUSE] >> MAYBE BOARD MEMBERS -- COME BACK UP, PLEASE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN AND LEADER.
ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING I HAVE EVER MET.
AND I DIDN'T HAVE A FULL APPRECIATION FOR THIS UNTIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN DALLAS IN THE PROGRAMS IS ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE AND UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY, AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN THE FRONT MAN.
THE LEADERS, BUT WHAT I GOT OUT OF THAT PRESENTATION, YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES AND COUNTERPARTS ON DALLAS ISD, YOU LEAD A PRESENTATION AND IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA BUT IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF CHALLENGE TO IMPLEMENT IT.
-- AND LEAD AN ORGANIZATION LIKE YOU DID.
THIS COMMUNITY WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
YOU ARE THE GODMOTHER OF ALL OF THIS.
I WANT TO EXPRESS MY PERSONAL APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
MR. RITTER, YOU ALSO VERY SUPPORTIVE OF GUIDED PATHWAYS WILL BE INITIATED THAT.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT.
>> FINALLY, WE HAVE CONFERENCE DAY COMING UP IN AUGUST 19.
ALWAYS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US TO GET TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE AND KICK OFF THE ACADEMIC YEAR.
WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT SINCE 2019.
I WAS HOPEFUL THIS YEAR WE WOULD GET TO DO THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW, AS WE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE INCREASED NUMBER OF COVID CASES IN DALLAS COUNTY.
WE ARE NOW OFFERING A HYBRID OPPORTUNITY FOR EMPLOYEES, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TOGETHER OR FACE-TO-FACE AND WE WILL HAVE OTHERS THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE.
AS WE WERE TALKING EARLIER, AS WE TRIED TO BUILD DALLAS CULTURE AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY, THE PROVINCE WE HAVE EVERYONE TOGETHER, WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE TOGETHER, WE ARE TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND OFFERING THAT OPTION BUT I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY THAT IS PLANNING THAT DAY AND EXPECT IT WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY IN WHATEVER FORM OR FASHION THAT IT TURNS OUT TO CELEBRATE THE GREAT WORK AND KICK OFF TH ACADEMIC YEAR.
WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON CONFERENCE DAY REMINDS ME, I CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT YEAR IT WAS CERTAINLY, I CANNOT REMEMBER WE ASKED THE QUESTION BOTH CONFERENCE DAY WHEN THE ALARM IS GOING OFF IN THE HOTEL AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO EVACUATE OR NOT EVACUATE ETC. IT COULD HAVE PRESENTED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR US, ADVANCED TEAM NOW WE WORKED THOSE TYPE OF THINGS OUT.
>> GOOD QUESTION AND I WILL SAY, WE DO NOW IF WE HAVEN'T TO MAKE SURE WE ARE MORE PREPARED.
>> IT COULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS FOR US.
>> DO ANY TRUSTEES HAVE COMMENTS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS?
>> I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN THE YEARS I'VE SERVED ON THE BOARD.
IT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION SO THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT LIKE TO HEAR PERSONAL INFORMATION, OKAY.
MY EIGHT GREAT-GRANDCHILD WAS BORN TO MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY, MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
DANIELLE -- SEVEN POUNDS NINE OUNCES, 19.5 INCHES LONG.
I'M SUPER EXCITED! I WAS TEXTED AT 11:43 AM THIS MORNING BUT SINCE I WAS ON THE BOARDS I JUST SO THE TEXT 30 OR 45 MINUTES AGO.
ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SEE PICTURES, I HAVE THEM!
[APPLAUSE] >> ANY OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE COMMENTS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? I HAVE A FEW.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE WILL BE VOTING ON THE DALLAS COLLEGE BUDGET VERY SHORTLY.
I THINK I SPEAK FOR MYSELF AND HOPEFULLY, MY COUNTERPARTS IN SAYING THAT WE ARE DELIGHTED THAT WE CAN INCREASE THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, WE KNOW THAT TIMES HAVE BEEN TOUGH OVER THE LAST YEAR.
[00:15:03]
AND WE HOPE THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT OF OUR APPRECIATION FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY.I HOPE EVERYBODY IS READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.
AND EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE GREAT THINGS WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE DOING.
FOR THE BOARD, FROM THE REMINDER.
WE WILL BE BACK HERE IN AUGUST 16 FOR AN ALL DAY TRUSTEE TRAINING STARTING AT 9:00 AM, BRIGHT AND EARLY.
WE WILL BE COVERING THE TRUSTEE ROLLING GOVERNANCE AND PRESENTED BY A REPRESENTATIVE, WILL ALSO BE DOING DEI TRAINING.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ANNA FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND WE TALKED ABOUT JUST INCREASES IN OVERALL ENROLLMENT AND CREDENTIALS, YOU'VE PLAYED SUCH A PIVOTAL ROLE, I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SIX OTHERS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RETIRING FROM DALLAS COLLEGE.
LISA -- FOUR YEARS, COLLEGE AND WE HOPE YOU ALL WILL ENJOY THE RETIREMENT.
[APPLAUSE] NO ITEM 8, OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CHANCELLOR TO DECLARE CONFLICT OF INTERESTS SPECIFIC TO THIS AGENDA.
[8. Opportunity for Members of the Board and Chancellor to Declare Conflicts of Interest Specific to this Agenda]
>> OKAY WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT WHEN WE GET THERE.
WHICH I DO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL NEED, DO WE NEED TO PULL ANYTHING ON THEIR
[9. Consent Agenda]
CONSENT AGENDA? I KNOW TRUSTEE COMPTON, DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON NINE OR 10? 9.4 IS RICHMOND COLLEGIATE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO THIS PART OR THE BUDGET.>> 9.4? ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? OKAY I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS 9.1, 9.2 AND 9.3.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? ABSTENTIONS? OKAY.
>> 9.4 IT USED TO BE -- IT IS COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL.
I NOTICED AN ITEM IN THERE WHERE IT IS SAYING IT IS REPLACING THE SUPERINTENDENT
[9.4. Richland Collegiate High School Items a. Adoption of Resolution Approving Authorization of an Executive Director for Richland Collegiate High School]
WITH AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, I WAS WONDERING IT SAYS THAT IT IS PURSUANT TO THE CHARTER BUT IS IT THE CHARTER THAT WE HAVE, OR WHEN DID IT GET CHANGED?>> DURING THE PAST YEAR.[INAUDIBLE] THERE WAS A ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF RICHLAND COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS CONFIRMED WITH THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY THAT INSTEAD OF A SUPERINTENDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COULD REPLACE THIS POSITION.
AND THE POSITION WAS DEFINED AS A NEW POSITION TO LEAD THAT CHARTER.
CHARTERS DO NOT REQUIRE SUPERINTENDENTS, THEY REQUIRE AN ADMINISTRATOR, AND THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATOR POSITION.
>> I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THE CHARTER HAD TO BE CHANGED TOO.
THE WORDING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT IT DOESN'T.
>> KNOW THE CHARTER DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED, JUST THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS WE WOULD NEED TO REPORT IT WITH YOUR APPROVAL, TODAY, TO TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AS THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL FOR THE RICHLAND COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL.
>> I'VE GOT A QUESTION TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT.
BECAUSE THE CHARTER DOES STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
[00:20:01]
IT IS VERY CLEAR, WE DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE WORD IN THE CHARTER?>> WE HAVE TO REPORT THIS AS A CHANGE TO THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT POSITION.
>> BUT AGAIN, THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO CHANGE THE WORD SUPERINTENDENT IN THE CHARTER?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO BUT WE WILL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT.
>> I WOULD IMAGINE IF IT IS IN THE CHARTER YOU WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THAT TITLE.
>> WE WILL CHECK ON THAT WITH LEGAL.
>> I HAVE ENJOYED WORKING WITH YOU TOO.
WE WILL LOOK AT THAT BUT I BELIEVE IF MEMORY SERVES, THAT A CHANGE IS AFFECTED SO WE KNOTT AVENUE ACTION BY THE BOARD, BY FILING THIS IT WILL AFFECT THE CHANGE AND WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT OUR I'S AND CROSS T'S.
>> I'M VERY LITERAL IF I SEE A CHARTER THAT HAS SUPERINTENDENT AND THEN THERE IS A WEAVE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COULD BE GO AHEAD AND CHANGE IT?
>> WE MAY AS HOUSEKEEPING, DECIDE TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD WE FEEL APPROPRIATE TO DO SO.
BUT I KNOW WE'VE AFFECTED A CHANGE TO THE CHARTER IN THE PAST FOR THE COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL AND WE DID THAT BY FILING A DOCUMENT WITH THE TEA AND THAT EFFECTED A CHANGE TO THE CHARTER.
I BELIEVE YOU THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE TO DO SO.
WE WILL MOST CERTAINLY BRING IT BACK TO YOU!
