[INDISCERNIBLE] COLLEGE STUDENT.
BEFORE I TRANSFERRED TO UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND GOT MY FOOT IN [INDISCERNIBLE] I GOT A BETTER EXPERIENCE THERE THAN WHEN I TRANSFERRED.
I LOVE U.N.T. BUT I GOT A FIRM START AT BROOKHAVEN COLLEGE.
I'M A PRODUCT OF THE [INDISCERNIBLE] AND WORK AND EXPERIENCES THEY GET THERE IS JUST LIKE THE REAL WORLD.

I, BEFORE I SET OFF WITH MY STUDENTS [INDISCERNIBLE] PEOPLE SAY ONGRATULATIONS TO ME.
IT'S THE STUDENTS WHO LISTEN AND
[00:05:02]
PUT THE LECTURES AND [INDISCERNIBLE] PRACTICE.I BROUGHT UP ME BEING [INDISCERNIBLE] I GOT AN AWARD.
THIS YEAR IS THE FIRST TIME AND SAY, I GOT AN AWARD.
>> I RECEIVED THE TIPPA CHARLES MEMORIAL ADVISOR OF THE YEAR AWARD IN CORPUS CHRISTI, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.
AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION.
TRULY, IT'S ABOUT THE NEWS AND COMMUNITY BUT THE AWARDS HELP DRIVE US AND KEEP US PASSIONATE.
WE GOT A TOTAL OF 34 AWARDS IN BROOKHAVEN, IF YOU DON'T COUNT THIS ONE.
WE GOT 18 PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AWARDS, FOUR I'M GOING TO COME BACK FOR INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE.
AND 12 LIVE AWARDS, COMPETING WITH FOUR YEAR SCHOOLS.
WE HAVE GOTTEN SIX AND SEVEN LIVE, 12 LIVE AWARDS IS A BIG DEAL.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS, BROKEN DOWN BY DIVISION ONE AND TWO, FOUR YEAR AND TWO-YEAR SCHOOLS.
BROOKHAVEN BROUGHT HOME [INDISCERNIBLE] AND DESIGNER OF THE YEAR.
[INDISCERNIBLE] HE'S ONE OF THE BEST STUDENTS COME THROUGH THAT CAMPUS.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS BY LINE.
HE GOT EDITOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR.
JACOB GOT REPORTER OF THE YEAR.
HE'S WRITTEN [INDISCERNIBLE] EVERY WEEK INTEREST THE OBS OBSERVER.
JACQUELINE AIR DAWN DOUGH COULDN'T BE HERE.
SHE WENT FROM BROOKHAVEN TO A FULL-TIME JOB.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR FLORES, CHANCELLOR MAY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I'M THE EDITOR AND CHIEF OF THE COURIER.
SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF [INDISCERNIBLE] I DIDN'T KNOW.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT JOINING JOURNALISM UNTIL I TOOK ONE OF THE CLASSES.
AS EDITOR I GET RECOGNITION FOR A LOT OF WORK WE DO AND I DID GET TO EDITOR OF THE JEER [INDISCERNIBLE] TIPPA.
BUT IT'S NOT -- IT'S EVEN THOUGH I GOT RECOGNIZED OTHERS ABLE TO GET THOSE AWARDS BECAUSE OF [INDISCERNIBLE] STAFF, EDITORS [INDISCERNIBLE].
IT'S ALL OF OUR STAFF WORKING TOGETHER THAT IT TAKES FOR US TO WIN AWARDS.
BECAUSE OF THEM I'M ABLE TO STAND HERE TODAY.
I ALSO ANT TO SAY WHY I'M CONSIDERING THIS IMPORTANT.
WORKING IN THE CITY NEWS ROOM IS TO LIKE WORKING IN THE [INDISCERNIBLE] PROFESSIONAL NEWS ROOM.
WE HAVE TO WORK IN TEAMS, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, WE DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS.
WE HAVE TO DEVELOP QUICK PROBLEM SOLVING AND SOMETIMES OUR COMPUTERS GO DOWN OR [INDISCERNIBLE] OR ONE OF SOURCES IS NOT GETTING BACK TO US AND WE'RE ON A DEADLINE.
BUT THAT -- THOSE ARE A FEW OF THE THINGS.
THE DOESN'T INCLUDE THE REPORTING AND JOURNALISM SKILLS IN ORDER TO DO OUR JOBS.
[INDISCERNIBLE] THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.
THE MEANS A LOT TO ALL OUR STUDENTS, ALL OUR EDITORS AND WRITERS THAT WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE DISTRICT AND OUR FACULTY AND ADVISORS.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO
[00:10:03]
BE THIELER FROM EASTFIELD.>> DR. MAY, WE HAVE SHELDON WHO IS OUR STUDENT MANAGER AT EASTFIELD AND SHE'S GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR STUDENTS FOR EASTFIELD.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING US OF COURSE.
AS YOU MIGHT KNOW EASTFIELD IS CELEBRATING THEIR 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
OUR NEWS IS CELEBRATING ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY.
WE'RE PROUD OF THE FACT WE'RE ESTABLISHED THE SAME YEAR AS THE COLLEGE AND WE HAVE A STRONG LEGACY OF JOURNALISM.
IT'S A NEW CROP OF STUDENTS CARRYING THE LEGACY ON.
WE APPRECIATE THE TIME TO -- EACH [INDISCERNIBLE] EASTFIELD CAME OUT WITH 36 AWARDS.
THREE OF THOSE WERE THE LIVE CONTEST, WHICH AS MENTIONED, COMPETITIONS AT THE CONVENTION AGAINST BOTH TWO AND FOUR-YEAR SCHOOLS.
ANYTIME WE GET TO EAT THE BIG DOGS WE'RE EXCITED BOUT HAT.
LET ME INTRODUCE SOME OF THEM.
AND I'LL BRING HERE UP JUST A MOMENT.
SHE WON A SCHOLARSHIP FOR TWO YEAR STUDENTS, HE $500 SCHOLARSHIP.
HEARTLY IS THE LIFE AND ARTS EDITOR.
HE CAME HOME WITH FIVE PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED FIRST PLACE AWARDS, INCLUDING WORK HE DID COVERING OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAM AT THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
HE CAME HOME WITH ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT AWARDS, ALL RELATED TO VOLLEYBALL COVERAGE.
HE GOT A FIRST PLACE IN A DOUBLE BY-LINE DURING A CRITICAL REVIEW OF LOCAL BEERS IN V.F.W. BECAUSE WE ARE A COLLEGE NEWSPAPER.
NEXT TO HIM IS ANTHONY LOZON, OUR WEB EDITOR, GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND TYPICALLY THE EDITORIAL CARTOONIST.
AND ANDREW, EDITOR, HE TOOK HOME FIRST PLACE IN COPY EDITING, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT.
AND EXCITED WHEN HE SWEPT EVERYONE.
AND SECOND PLACE IN HEAD LINE WRITING, IT'S A SCIENCE AND ART AT THE SAME TIME.
WE'RE PROUD OF HIM FOR TAKING SECOND PLACE.
THIRD PLACE WAS ONE OF OUR OTHER EDITORS.
WE HAVE A FEW THAT COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY DUE TO OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES OUTSIDE OF THE NEWSPAPER.
A FEW OTHER AWARDS I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT BEFORE ARIA COMES UP AND SPEAKS, OUT OF THE 36 AWARDS, 15 WERE FIRST-PLACE AWARDS.
TWO WERE LITERARY AND FINE ARTS, THE ALTERNATIVE.
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS.
ONE OF OUR FIRST PLACE AWARDS WAS OVERALL EXCELLENCE FOR THE WEBSITE.
WE COME OUT WITH A PAPER AVENUE TWO WEEKS, MAINTAINED BY STUDENT STAFF.
AS JOURNALISM EVOLVES AND NEWS EVOLVES WE GET NEWS ON OUR PHONE AND LAPTOPS, TWITTER AND FACEBOOK.
SO HAVING THAT ACKNOWLEDGED AS WE CHANGE OUR MINDSET IN THE NEWS ROOM TO BE DIGITAL FIRST AND MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY GET THE NEWS, GETTING THE AWARD WAS PRETTY XCITING.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THE OSCARS.
I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON THE AWARDS THEY RECEIVED AND THE HARD WORK THEY PUT IN.
I WILL LET ARIA SAY A FEW WORDS BEFORE I GO.
I REALLY WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT GOING TO TIPPA IS LIKE.
WHEN I STARTED WORKING FOR THE NEWSPAPER I HAD NO IDEA THEY COMPETED.
I LIKED TELLING PEOPLE STORIES.
WHEN WE GO WE LEARN FROM PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD WHO CAN TELL US THINGS WE CAN DO BETTER OR GIVE US IDEAS THAT WE CAN BRING BACK AND SHARE WITH OTHERS IN THE NEWS ROOM.
IT'S GREAT TO GO AND PARTICIPATE AND COMPETE WITH OTHER COLLEGES.
[00:15:01]
THAT WE'RE KIND OF DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.BUT ALL OF JOURNALIST THAT WORK SO HARD IN THE NEWS ROOM, THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THEY ARE NOT DOING IT JUST FOR THE AWARDS OR ANYTHING.
IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOVE TELLING STORIES.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THIS HONOR FROM TIPPA.
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
BEING PART OF THE JOURNALISM PROGRAM HAS MADE ME A BETTER LEADER, DEFINITELY MADE ME A BETTER LEARNER AND ABSOLUTELY A BETTER COMMUNICATOR.
>> GOOD EVENING, ON BEHALF OF NORTH LAKE I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE [INDISCERNIBLE] KATHLEEN STOCK MORE AND OUR VIDEO TECHNOLOGY [INDISCERNIBLE] BECAUSE WE COMPETE IN VIDEO TECHNOLOGY.
>> THANK OU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY JOURNALISM PROGRAM AT NORTH LAKE COLLEGE.
I SAY MINE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THIS OWNERSHIP OF THE PROGRAM BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH IT BACK IN THE '80S.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW PROUD I AM WHEN THEY BRING HOME AWARDS.
I KNOW THEY ARE LEARNING AND WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE REAL WORLD LIKE I DID.
I RAN A NEWSPAPER AND WORKED FOR VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS IN THE DALLAS-FORTH WORTH AREA AND GOT IN TELEVISION.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO OUR EDITOR, CHERYL.
SHE'S BEEN WITH US FOR QUITE A WHILE.
THIS IS HER NEW POSITION AS EDITOR AND CHIEF, AND SHE'S GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE] JOURNALIST SINCE I WAS IN THE FOURTH GRADE.
WHEN KATHLEEN OFFERED THIS POSITION [INDISCERNIBLE] BLEW MY MIND.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE IN CHARGE OF AN ENTIRE NEWSPAPER.
WE BROUGHT HOME 12 AWARDS FROM TIPPA THIS YEAR.
ONLY EDITOR WHO HAVE TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS AND A DESIGNER IN OUR PRODUCTION STARVE.
WE WORKED HARD EVERY DAY AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THEM.
THIS IS DEFINITELY BEEN THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE.
AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOU GUYS FOR PROVIDING THE STAFF FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR.
AND ENJOY [INDISCERNIBLE] ON MY WEB SKILLS.
I'M GOING TO GRADUATE NEXT YEAR AND GO ONTO BETTER THINGS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
IT'S Y PLEASURE THIS AFTERNOON TO INTRODUCE ERICA EDWARDS, THE FACULTY PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR JOURNALISM AND STUDENT MEDIA AT [INDISCERNIBLE] COLLEGE.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR FLORES, TRUSTEES, CHANCELLOR MAY; OCTOR EGGLESTON, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU TODAY.
I WANT TO SINCE SEARLY THANK YOU FOR HONORING OUR STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE DISTRICT THIS AFTERNOON.
I BELIEVE STRONGLY THE ROLE OF JOURNALISM IN A REPRESENTED REPUBLIC IS [INDISCERNIBLE] AS OUR WORLD BECOMES MORE COMPLEX, CERTAINLY NOT ANY LESS.
WE ASK OUR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE THEIR CRAFT, THEIR SKILL SET IN A VERY, VERY PUBLIC ARENA.
FRANKLY, THAT IS RISKY, BECAUSE
[00:20:01]
THAT MEANS WHEN THE INEVITABLE MISTAKE HAPPENS, AND THIS IS A LEARNING NEWSPAPER, WHEN THOSE MISTAKES HAPPEN, IT'S RIGHT OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO SEE.AND COURAGE AND COMMITMENT WITH WHICH THEY PRACTICE THEIR CRAFT AND HONE SKILLS IS A GREAT CAUSE OF PRIDE FOR ME AS ONE OF THEIR ADVISORS AND CERTAINLY INSPIRATIONAL.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SHINING A POSITIVE LIGHT OF RECOGNITION ON SOME VERY DESERVING STUDENTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS WHO WORK WITH ME IN THE PROGRAM.
IT IS NOT ONE PERSON, IT IS A WHOLE HANDFUL.
TODAY JOINING ME ARE MARGARET FULL WITH, OUR LEARNING SPECIALIST.
ALSO LARRY RAT LIF, A WRITING COACH AND SELL ADS ADVISOR.
WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN TO THE STUDENTS WHO LEAD THE CHARGE IN THE NEWS ROOM AND RECEIVED AWARDS AT THE TIPPA CONFERENCE.

BOTH AIDIAN AND KATY WERE VITAL PLAYERS IN THE TIPPA STUDENT TEAM.

DANIEL RECEIVED THIRD PLACE HONORS FOR SPORTS ACTION PHOTO IN THE PREVIOUS COMPETITION AS WELL.

HONORABLE MENTION IN THE ON SITE EDITORIAL WRITING COMPETITION.
ONE OF OUR ECENT GRAND JURIES, ARMSTRONG WHO RECEIVED FIRST PLACE WAS NOTABLY TO JOIN US.
THE TEAM RECEIVED FIRST PLACE FOR RADIO DVERTISING, PRINT AD DESIGN, GENERAL MULTIMEDIA, SO YOU CAN SEE WE'RE COVERING A WIDE NUMBER OF BASES.
OUR DESIGN EDITOR IS LICE ON DRA, THEY RECEIVED A SECOND PLACE AWARD IN THE GENERAL NEWS STORY.
I'M GOING TO BRAG ON HER ONE MORE POINT.
SHE RECEIVED A NATIONAL AD DESIGN FROM THE ASSOCIATE COLLEGIATE PRESS.
IN TOTAL 17 AWARDS, CRITICAL REVIEW, BREAKING NEWS PHOTO, IN DEPTH MULTIMEDIA IN COMPETITION WITH TOP STUDENT JOURNALIST WITH TWO I FOUR YEAR PROGRAMS. THAT'S PROBABLY ENOUGH OF A PROUD ADVISOR BRAGGING ON HER STUDENTS.
I KNOW YOU ARE EAGER TO HERE AS TO THE VALUE AND EXPERIENCE.
FOR THAT I'M PROUD TO TURN THE FLOOR TO OUR MANAGING EDITOR.
>> CHAIR FLORES, TRUSTEES, CHANCELLOR MAY, DR. EGGLESTON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OOD AFTERNOON.
IT'S A PRIVILEGE FOR ME TO BE PRESENTING THE AWARDS FROM CONICAL HERE TO DAY.
I SEEN THE CHRONICICAL GROW ON AS ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNITY.
UNDER THE [INDISCERNIBLE] OF OUR ADVISORS AND PROFESSORS, TIM JONES, LARRY RATCLIFFE, WE HAVE LEARNED THE [INDISCERNIBLE] OF JOURNALISM.
WE THINK WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE INTO THE WORK WE PUT OUT WEEKLY.
BEYOND RICHLAND, OUR QUARTERS HAVE GONE TO THE REAL WORLD [INDISCERNIBLE] AS A NEWS ANCHOR AT [INDISCERNIBLE] TV TELEVISION STATION.
ALIC SANDRA RODRIGUEZ, [INDISCERNIBLE] CALEB BRADLEY INTERNING THE RYAN SEA CREST
[00:25:05]
STUDIOS [INDISCERNIBLE] THESE ARE PRIME EXAMPLES OF THE [INDISCERNIBLE] I HAVE [INDISCERNIBLE] OVER THE PAST YEARS.I BELIEVE IT'S SAFE TO SAY [INDISCERNIBLE] TODAY.
THE UTMOST FEAR [INDISCERNIBLE] IN CREATIVE ENDEAVORS.
[INDISCERNIBLE] ALWAYS FASTER WAY TO IMPROVE.
COMPETING FOR AWARDS AT THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL HAS MADE US DELIBERATE AND METICULOUS IN OUR PRODUCTION.
THE QUALITY OF OUR REPORTING AND COMPARABLE TO [INDISCERNIBLE] ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE QUALITY JOURNALISM AND I'M PROVIDE TO SAY MY COLLEAGUES FROM RICHLAND ARE AN INDICATION THAT THE FUTURE IS N GOOD HANDS.
>> I HAVE A REQUEST FROM DANIEL.

YOU ALL DO SUCH A FINE JOB OF TAKING CARE OF OUR KIDS AND THE COMMUNITY.
I'M A PRODUCT OF DCCCD I WENT TO CEDAR HILL WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WENT TO EL CENTRO WHEN I WAS NOT YOUNG.
SO THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU ALL HAVE DONE.
[00:35:01]
SPECIAL THANKS TO DR. [INDISCERNIBLE] FOR ALL OF [INDISCERNIBLE] DR. COMPTON, WHO IS ALSO ON [INDISCERNIBLE] FLORES, TRUSTEE FLORES.WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY COMING TO TAKE ABOUT IS A HAPPY PERSON IN THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO ALK ABOUT THE DALLAS COMMUNITY PROMISE AT MEGA CHURCHES, CHURCHES [INDISCERNIBLE], [CHUCKLING]
>> I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IN DALLAS UNDERSTANDS, THIS IS THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN.
AND I REALIZE THAT LAST YEAR WAS OUR FIRST YEAR GETTING STARTED.
I SAY OURS BECAUSE I'M AN ALUM I, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
[INDISCERNIBLE] THE MAINLY CONCERN I HAVE IS [INDISCERNIBLE] BE A PART OF NOT JUST GETTING OUR KIDS TO STAY HERE IN A LOCAL SCHOOL BUT TO GET THEM TO GO TO SCHOOL AND FINISH.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE BRING THE COMMUNITY AND CHURCHES, THE COMPANIES TOGETHER.
TOGETHER WE CAN WORK ON ONE THING, HELPING OUR KIDS TO BE EMPLOYABLE AND THAT STARTS WITH AN EDUCATION, A CREDENTIAL FOR TRAINING AND WORK, ET CETERA. YOU CAN GET THAT AT THE LOCAL COLLEGE.
ONE OF THINGS SOME OF YOU [INDISCERNIBLE] TALK ABOUT THE STATISTICS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO MY KIDS AND I HAVE GRANDKIDS.
ALL OF MY KIDS HAVE TO BE IN THE BAY AREA.
I WAS NOT IN THE [INDISCERNIBLE].
ALL OF MY KIDS HAVE TO GO THROUGH [INDISCERNIBLE] THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE STATISTICALLY IF YOU ARE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE OR LATINO Y YOUR ODDS OF FINISHING ARE ASTRONOMICAL COMPARED TO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW.
[INDISCERNIBLE] IN PARTICULAR, AND WE CAN DO A LOT BETTER.
DR. BAN AND I WILLIAM AND I TALKED ABOUT THINGS AND I [INDISCERNIBLE] I WAS NOT THAT COLLEGE-READY KID.
I WAS THAT KID THAT WAS YOUNG, [INDISCERNIBLE] IN WEST DALLAS [INDISCERNIBLE] THEY PUT OUT OF SCHOOL THE FIRST YEAR.
OVER IME I GOT BETTER, I GOT IN SCHOOL.
AND WITH THE [INDISCERNIBLE] AND SO FORTH.
TO SAY NOT ONLY DID I FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, ET CETERA. SO I'M SIMPLY SAYING I LEARNED SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY AND I SHARED THIS WITH TODD AND DR. [INDISCERNIBLE] WHEN A KID IS DOING SOMETHING THEY LOVE, THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
IF A KID HAS BEEN IN BAND FOURTH, FIFTH GRADE, GO THROUGH THE SECTIONALS, THAT KID HAS THE DISCIPLINE AND THE CAPACITY TO LEARN THAT IS BEING DEVELOPED.
AND EVERYONE OF THOSE KIDS EVERY YEAR HERE IN DALLAS, WHEN THEY ARE IN THE BAND OR CHOIR OR DRILL TEAM OR TRACK TEAM, EVERY YEAR THOSE KIDS GET ON THE STARTING LINE, AS SOON AS, [INDISCERNIBLE] A MASS EXODOUS, [INDISCERNIBLE] THERE ARE NO TRACK TEAMS IN DCCCD.
THERE ARE NO [INDISCERNIBLE] SOUTHERN SIDE OF TOWN, THERE ARE NO GOSPEL CHOIRS IN DCCCD.
IF EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR $1.02 BILLION FOR EVERYBODY TO PASS THAT, BUT OUR KIDS ARE BEING PASSED BY.
TRUSTEE FLORES, WE'RE NOT TO CEDAR HILL AND THEY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TRACK PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY, YET STILL NO TRACK TEAM NEXT DOOR.
ONE OF THE BEST BANDS, NO BANDS.
WE'LL BUS THE KIDS BUT WE WON'T DEAL WITH THE ONES WHO GIVE US A BETTER CHANCE TO RADUATE.
[A. Announcements from the Chancellor]
[00:40:07]
CHANCELLOR AND BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS, CHANCELLOR.
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: LET ME ONE, START AGAIN BY JUST THANKING OURCHIEVEMENTS OUR JOURNALLALLISM STUDENTS.
AND WE SHARE THAT PRIDE AS WELL.
A FEW THINGS I WANT TO MENTION.
IT'S ONCE AGAIN TIME FOR ADVISE.
IT IS AFFILIATED WITH EL CENTRO'S CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 40 YEARS.
THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE ONCE AGAIN AT THE DALLAS ARBORETUM.
[INDISCERNIBLE] TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM WITH THE FOOD IT'S AMAZING AND I ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO JOIN US FOR THIS YEAR EVENTS, COMING UP ON APRIL 14TH.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE YOU THERE.
ALSO, APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH, APRIL THE 2ND AS WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN REALLY KIND OF FOCUSED ON THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, MAKING SURE WE RECOGNIZE AND SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE IT EFFECTS ONE IN 59 CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
AND IT'S ALSO THE BLUE IS DESIGNATED THE DESIGNATED COLOR FOR AUTISM TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT, THE LIGHTED UP BLUE AND RAISE AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE.
YOU WILL SEE SOME OF US WEARING BLUE TIES IN SUPPORT OF THAT TODAY.
AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT CHIEF HILL IS WEARING A BLUE RIBBON THAT IS THERE.
IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE ONE, SHE BROUGHT SOME WITH HER HAT SHE'S WILLING TO HARE.
AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THEM.
I WANT TO GIVE A BRIEF LEGISLATIVE UPDATE AS WELL.
I HAD TO SAY, I HAVE SEEN GOOD YEARS, I HAVE SEEN NOT SO GOOD YEARS.
I WOULD SAY OVERALL THIS HAS BEEN A POSITIVE SESSION FOR EDUCATION IN GENERALFELT AND THINK IT'S BEEN VERY POSITIVE FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
MOST OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE VERSIONS INCLUDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR TWO-YEAR COLLEGES.
THE SENATE VERSION COLLECTIVELY ABOUT $31 MILLION ADDITIONAL THERS TO THE HOUSE VERSION, WHICH IS 75 M 75 MILL.
IN BOTH CASES THEY WOULD GO TO SUPPORT [INDISCERNIBLE] SO WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE AREAS THAT MATTER.
AS IT RELATES TO THE DISCUSSION OF TAXES SENATE BILL 2 INCLUDES A 2.5% RATE.
IN OTHER WORDS, THAT WOULD CAP THE DOLLARS WE BRING WHILE THE HOUSE VERSION EXEMPTS COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO BE AWARE.
CERTAINLY, WE MONITOR THIS ONE CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT FFECTS A LOT OF WHAT WE DO AND HAVE A DRAMATIC IMPACT ON THE BUDGET.
WE HAVE SOME OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE POSITIVE, SENATOR WEST HAS BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS ON THE TRANSFER ISSUE.
BUT I WOULD SAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM MORE FOCUSED THAN THIS SESSION.
SENATE BILL 25, HE GOT IT IN, HE'S ENGAGED COMMUNITY COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES TO DEAL WITH SOME OF CHALLENGES STUDENTS FACE ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH TRANSFER.
ALSO, JUST AN UPDATE ON THE MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH.
WE CONTINUE THAT PROCESS AND NEXT STEP WILL BE TO HOST THE MOUNTAIN VIEW FINALIST FOR THAT.
WE INVITED FOUR INDIVIDUALS TO THE CAMPUS.
AND THEN WE'LL BE INVITING THE INTERNAL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE EXTERNAL COMMUNITY TO BE A PART OF THAT.
AS WE ALSO IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE BUT IT'S TIME TO THINK ABOUT COMMENTSMENTS.
AS THEY ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
AND AGAIN, IT'S ONE OF THE FEW OPPORTUNITIES WE GET TO DO WHAT WE DID TODAY AND CELEBRATE THE ISSUES OF OUR STUDENTS TO DO SO ALONG WITH THEIR PARENTS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
THAT'S WHY WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THIS.
AND I KNOW THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SIGNED UP, AND THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THAT PROCESS.
[B. Announcements from the Board Chair and/or Trustees]
WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.>> I HAVE A BRIEF COMMENT TO MAKE TOO.
AS PART OF OUR CITIZENSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY ON MAY THE 4TH O PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTORAL
[00:45:02]
PROCESS.THE TURN OUT ON MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IS REALLY EMBARRASSINGLY LOW AS COMPARED TO NOVEMBER, WHICH IS LOW.
WE HAVE A VESTED INTEREST AS A DISTRICT IN THIS PARTICULAR ELECTION BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ITEM ON THERE.
IT'S AT THE END OF THE BALLOT, DON'T QUIT VOTING EARLY.
I THINK EARLY VOTING BEGINS ON THE 22ND OF APRIL.
ANYWHERE IN DALLAS COUNTY YOU CAN VOTE NTIL ELECTION DAY SO PLEASE VOTE.
[6. Consent Agenda]
COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.>> CHANCELLOR MAY: AGENDA SIX IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CONSIDER CONSEND AGENDA 6A AND B AS A UNIT?
[A. Talent Items]
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, "AYE." OPPOSED? INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. WE HAVE ITEM 7A AND B, ITEMS 8A THOSE ARE THE END OF THE ITEMS WE HAVE.A SEASONED VETERAN SPEAKS IN YOUR EAR.
IT'S 7A1 AND THE FIRST [INDISCERNIBLE] 8, PERFORMANCE REVIEW, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, THE ONLY CHANGE SINCE I AM THE CHAIR, IS A DATE CHANGE.
A HOUSEKEEPING ITEM MORE THAN ANYTHING.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS 7 AND 8 TOGETHER OR DO YOU WANT TO SEPARATED THOSE? [INDISCERNIBLE] ON 7A1 AND 8A.
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: ANYONE ELSE?
>> LET'S VOTE ON 7A1, WHICH I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO.
[B. Talent Item (Informative Only - No Action Required)]
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, "AYE." OPPOSED? TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN.>> D. ZIMMERMANN: 7B1 RESIGNATION, RETIREMENTS.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO SEE [INDISCERNIBLE] OFF THE POST OFFICERS PART-TIME GOING AWAY.
THAT LOOKS AS IF WE LOST THREE PART-TIME OFFICERS.
KNOWING WHAT IT IS TO KEEP OFFICERS, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO SEE WE WOULD LOSE THREE.
I UNDERSTAND IT WAS A POLICY CHANGE.
BUT I DON'T KNOW, PART-TIME MIGHT NOT BE SUCH A BAD IDEA IF WE NEED HELP.
ALSO, FOR THE RETIREMENTS, IT IS 142 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE THIS PAGE OF RETIREMENTS.
I'M DISAPPOINTED TO LOSE THIS MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
BUT I HOPE INDEED THEY ENJOY THE REST OF THEIR HAPPY AND CREATIVE LIVES.
[8. Policy Items - First Reading]
>> VICE CHAIR W. JAMESON: YOU ALSO HAVE A COMMENT ON 8A?
>> D. ZIMMERMANN: YES, ON 8A I WAS TAKING ON THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO POLICY CONCERNING PERFORMANCE REVIEW.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE LOCAL FOR THIS [INDISCERNIBLE] THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER EVALUATION.
DO WE HAVE A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER?
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: THAT WOULD BE ME.
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CHANCELLOR'S REVIEW.
SO CEO IS THE PROPER TITLE? JUST KIND OF CHECKING ON THAT ONE.
THE STATUTE CHAPTER 130 OF THE EDUCATION CODE SPEAKS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF A CHANCELLOR OR CHIEF AND/OR CHIEF EXECUTIVE
[00:50:02]
OFFICER OF A DISTRICT.THEY ARE USING THE [INDISCERNIBLE] WHEN IT COMES TO CHANCELLOR, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: IN TERMS OF THOSE TERMS.
YOU HAVE A CHANCELLOR OR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PERFORMANCE REVIEW.
[INDISCERNIBLE] SUBMIT WE NEED TO B BE CONSISTENT.
CHANCELLOR AND CEO, IT HAS TWO MEANINGS TO SOME PEOPLE.
[INDISCERNIBLE] WHICH IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STRUCTURE.
AND CHANCELLOR WAS EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS.
AND THAT IS THE TITLE THAT WE HAVE AND WHAT WE HAVE IS A CHANCELLOR SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSISTENT IN TERMINOLOGY WE USE.
>> I HINK TRUSTEE COMPTON MAKES A GOOD POINT TO BE CONSISTENT.
IT ALSO REFERS TO PRESIDENT OF THE SAME CAPACITY AS CHANCELLOR.
IT GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'RE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT OUR POLICY.
[9. Informative Reports]
>> VICE CHAIR W. JAMESON: I NEED A MOTION.
>> VICE CHAIR W. JAMESON: FIRST READING.
THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS INFORMATIVE AND COMMITTEE REPORTS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE COMMENTS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE REGARDING ANY OF THESE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA?
>> C. COMPTON: I HAVE A QUESTION ON TRYING TO FIND [INDISCERNIBLE] [INDISCERNIBLE] IT'S VERY POSITIVE [INDISCERNIBLE] WE'RE STARTING DOWN THE ROAD F [INDISCERNIBLE] STRATEGIC PLAN.
ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORKFORCE DEMOGRAPHICS, IT SHOWS THAT IT DOESN'T TRACK NECESSARILY WITH DALLAS COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICS AND THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE ONLY STANDARD WE USE.
FOR EXAMPLE ON THE AFRICAN AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIVE, 32%, WHILE IN THE COMMON POPULATION IT'S 22%.
BUT IT'S BEEN -- I DON'T KNOW THAT MANY AFR AFRICAN AMERICANS WHERE THERE IS A HIGHER ADMINISTRATIVE LEVELS.
SO IF WE CAN HAVE A REPORT N TERMS OF THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS THE PERCENTAGE OF [INDISCERNIBLE] I THINK IS HELPFUL.
AGAIN, AS WE AGAIN TO GO DOWN THE PATH OF STRATEGIC PLAN FOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, KIND OF GIVE US A BETTER PICTURE OF THAT.
>> VICE CHAIR W. JAMESON: I THINK WE HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ULL THAT TOGETHER.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT WOULD BE THE FOR FACULTY, PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD BUT THE STAFF AS WELL.
AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION RELATED TO THIS.
THINKING ABOUT IT I MIGHT NEED TO MAKE IT AN AGENDA ITEM BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF [INDISCERNIBLE] THE DEMOG DEMOGRAPHICS.
>> VICE CHAIR W. JAMESON: ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENTS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE? I'LL CONSIDER A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT.
>> SECOND.
