HE WAS THE ASSISTANT COACH FOR EIGHT YEARS.
PART OF TWO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AS A AN ASSISTANT, PART OF ONE AS A PLAYER AND ONE AS THE HEAD COACH.
I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM, RAUL HERRERA.
JUST LIKE TO THANK DR. EGGLESTON FOR HAVING US HERE AND HIRING ME. IT'S COME FULL CIRCLE FOR ME.
I'VE BEEN A COUPLE TIMES AS ASSISTANT UNDER SHAUN WHIRLY AND
[00:15:01]
HERE AS HEAD COACH. 2006, A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM IN 2006. I THINK IT WAS A DIFFERENT BUILDING. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE THE HEAD COACH. BUT IT'S ALL COMING TO ME NOW.AND REFLECTING ON THE HOW THE SOCCER PROGRAM, SCHOOL AND DISTRICT HAVE SET ME P FOR SUCCESS ON AND OFF THE FIELD, JUST LIKE THESE GUYS. I'M PRO PROUD TO BE PART OF THEM IN MULTIPLE WAYS. EXCUSE MY PUBLIC SPEAKING, I GOT A C AT RICHLAND. ONE THING I KNEW I NEEDED TO WORK ON WAS PUBLIC SPEAKING. I WOULD LIKE TO NTRODUCE THE GUYS. MELTING POT OF TEAMS. I THINK WE HAVE THE MOST DIVERSE CAMPUS.
I THINK OUR TEAM REPRESENTS OUR SCHOOL AND DISTRICT WELL.
A LOT OF WAYS, OUR COUNTRY. AND I'LL START OFF WITH TERRY SUSAMOA. RAISE YOUR HANDS GUYS.
YOSHI. IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THINGS FROM JAPAN, AFRICA, FRANCE, SPAIN, LATIN AMERICA, BECOMING FRIENDS WITH KIDS FROM GARLAND. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL -- TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE SEASON AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM AND DISTRICT HAS DONE. CRAZY SEASON.
I WAS HIRED BEFORE THE PRESEASON.
OBVIOUSLY, I THINK HE GROOMED ME WELL AND I WAS WELL-PREPARED.
WINNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ELEMENTS TO THE TEAM, I KNEW IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL.
WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD PLAYERS COMING BACK.
AND WE KNEW WE HAD A OOD TEAM WHEN THE SEASON STARTED.
AND WE PLAYED AGAINST FOUR UNIVERSITIES WITH DESCENT RESULTS. WE STARTED PLAYING WITH THE JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP COLLEGES. AND SHAUN WHIRLY CAME BACK O VISIT ABOUT A MONTH LATER. HE GETS A LITTLE EXCITED.
MAN, YOU HAVE A GOOD TEAM. YEAH, I THINK SO.
I THINK YOU YOU HAVE A CHANCE. YEAH, I THINK WE DO.
WE HAVE A SOLID TEAM. NO, I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND, LIKE YOU HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHEN HE SAID THAT, KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. 10 AND 0, SITTING PRETTY.
IT'S OKAY TO SAY IS IT. ONCE I TOLD THE GUYS, I TOLD THE GUYS, IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WINNING AND LOSING.
IT'S DOING WELL AND WINNING OFF THE FIELD.
IF YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED, ALL THE GREAT PLAYERS, THE ONES WE REMEMBER THE MOST IS HE ONES WHO REMEMBER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, THOSE PLAYERS ARE REMEMBEREDDED AND COACHES TALK ABOUT IT FOREVER.
THE GUYS KNEW BUT I CHALLENGED THEM.
IF YOU WANT TO SET YOURSELF APART, GO UNDEFEATED.
AND WE KEPT WINNING AND WINNING. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T LOSE OR THE SEASON IS OVER. WE ARE MADE IT TO NATIONALS.
IN 2006, I WAS IN NEW YORK AT HERKIMER.
I SEEN THE STORY BEFORE. AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE A MORE DRAMATIC GAME PLAYED.
IF YOU ARE SPORTS FAN, WE HAD SOMETHING TO A WALK OFF HOMER.
ONE-ONE, WE LITERALLY SCORED GOT A PK WITH ONE SECOND LEFT.
AND OUR GUYS GATEFOLD. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT THINK IT'S A PENALTY KICK BUT WE HAD THE COURAGE.
WE SCORED AND WE'RE NATIONAL CHAMPS.
AND THE GAME WAS OVER. THESE GUYS ARE CHAMPIONS AND
[00:20:01]
WINNERS ON THE FIELD. NOW THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THEM WINNERS OFF THE FIELD LIKE I WAS.GROWING UP IN RICHARDSON, I'M FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN.
I ALWAYS HAD THE NECESSARY THINGS.
I WAS A PRETTY GOOD PLAYER AND DESCENT STUDENT.
RICHLAND COLLEGE GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND AFFORDABLE EDUCATION.
GOT MY DEGREE. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO COME BACK TO HE COMMUNITY THEY GAVE ME SO MUCH BUT I AM. I'M TALKING ABOUT ME TO SPEAK ABOUT RICHLAND AND WAS THE PROGRAM IS ABOUT.
WE HAVE A GREAT ALUMNI. WE HAVE GEORGE MORALES HERE.
HE PLAYED WITH ME. HE'S A BACK TO BACK CHAMPION AND A LOCAL OFFICER IN TOWN. AND HE'S DOING WELL, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF RICHLAND COLLEGE. WE HAVE TELO SALAS, AND HE WAS A TEAMMATE OF MINE. IT STARTED HERE.
I WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE HOW MANY LIVES YOU EFFECT AND THE DISTRICT CAN SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS ON AND OFF THE FIELD.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE THESE BOARD MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS OF ATHLETICS, YOU IMPACT A LOT OF THE LIVES.
THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO RAISE YOUR KIDS OUR GRANDKIDS AND NEIGHBOR KIDS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THEM AND BE PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE THEY DESERVE ALL THE RECOGNITION THEY HAVE GOTTEN. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT ITHOUT YOU.

SO ISAAC FAZ AND I MET WITH THE TEXAS SENATE HIGHER EDUCATION CHAIR, BRANDON CREIGHTON IN HOUSTON TO TALK ABOUT THE INTERIM STUDIES AND THINGS ON OUR MINDS, AS WELL AS HOW WE CAN SUPPORT AND BE HELPFUL TO THEM GOING FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES. MENTIONED SOMETHING THAT I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, EASTFIELD, EDDIE KEELER HOSTED THE FIRST ANNUAL, THAT MEANS THERE WILL BE A SECOND, RIGHT? ANNUAL PRINCIPALS BREAKFAST ON NOVEMBER 15.
WHAT'S IMPRESSIVE IS 51 PARTICIPANTS AND EASTFIELD ENROLLS ABOUT 5,000 DUAL CREDIT ENROLLMENTS FOR THE CURRENT FALL, PARTNERING WITH 8 SCHOOL DISTRICTS, 30 HIGH SCHOOLS AND SIX EARLY COLLEGE H H HIGH SCHO, COLLEGIATE ACADEMICS AND P-TECH, APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIPS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLKS AT EASTFIELD.

THAT'S EXCITING. WE GET INTO THE SPRING WE HAVE FOLKS WORKING HARD HERE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT TO PROMOTE THE 2020 CENSUS COUNT AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE GETS COUNTED. AS YOU KNOW, FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, 1% UNDERCOUNT WILL COST THE STATE 300 MILLION A YEAR GOING FORWARD. CERTAINLY, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE AND TO BE COUNTED.
WE'RE VERY MUCH IN PHASE ONE, WHICH IS BUILDING AWARENESS.
WE'LL QUICKLY MOVE TO PHASE TWO, WHICH IS ENGAGEMENT.
AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, A STRATEGY WILL PUT OUT.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET KIOSKS, WE'LL PUT OUT COMPUTERS SO IT CAN BE HANDLED ON CAMPUSES AND PROVIDE SUPPORT.
CERTAINLY THAT WILL BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO BE A PART OF AND A MAJOR INITIATIVE THIS COMING SPRING.
ALSO, TODAY S GIVING TUESDAY, IF YOUR PHONE WAS LIKE MINE IT WAS BLOWING UP ALL DAY. ONE WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO SUPPORT IS THE DCCCD FOUNDATION EMERGENCY ID FUND.
THE IMPACT THAT IS HAVING WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS FOLLOWING THE TORNADO BUT IT IS ALL YEAR LONG WE HAVE STUDENTS STRUGGLING. SO WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE IF YOU RECEIVED ONE OF OURS, PUSH IT OUT TO FRIENDS IN YOUR NETWORK AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT.

>> I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE EARLY VOTING BY MAIL DATE LISTED ON THE ORDER. AND IT'S LISTED AS JANUARY 1.
[00:35:02]
THAT'S WHAT T'S BEEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS ELECTION YEARS AS WELL. IN ORDER TO VOTE BY MAIL, YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR A PLACE ON THE BALLOT, THE FIRST DAY IS JANUARY 1 OF 2020. SO APPLICATIONS ARE SENT AND THOSE BALLOTS ARE SENT BACK Y THE INDIVIDUALS.BUT STATUTE DOES NOT PRESCRIBE EARLY VOTING BY MAIL DATE AS IT DOES FOR EARLY VOTING BY PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
THEREFORE, TECHNICALLY IS THE DATE THE DATE IS SENT BY DALLAS
COUNTY TO THE INDIVIDUAL VOTER. >> C. COMPTON: THE JANUARY DATE
[8. Individual Items (Individual Agenda items may be approved by a single motion and vote or, alternatively, upon request of a Trustee(s); any listed item can be removed and considered individually.)]

SORRY. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: DO WE HAVE A
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: SO MOVED BY TRUSTEE WILLIAMS.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: DISCUSSION, TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN?
>> D. ZIMMERMANN: YES, I SEE THE REBRANDING IS GOING TO COST US 180,000. HOW MUCH ID IT COST US TO JUST
FINISH EASTFIELD? >> I'M SORRY.
I DON'T -- >> D. ZIMMERMANN: THE EASTFIELD HAS BEEN REBRANDED. THEY WENT TO THE B'S FROM THE HARVESTERS. THE BEES.
ARE WE GOING -- BEFORE HIS TIME. OKAY.
>> WE MAY HAVE TO GET BACK WITH YOU ON THAT.
>> THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME. >> D. ZIMMERMANN: IF WE GO TO A SINGLE WHATEVER IT IS, WE'RE STILL GOING TO NEED SOMETHING TO
DISTINGUISH CAMPUSES, YES? >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY AS SUCH. WHY DON'T YOU MAYBE TALK ABOUT
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M PATTY ARELLANO-TOLOTTA, THE CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER. WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO IS A ONE COLLEGE BRAND STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED IF IT'S DALLAS COUNTY, OR DALLAS COUNTY COLLEGE.
WE'RE CALLING IT ONE COLLEGE AT THIS POINT.
EACH CAMPUS WILL KEEP THEIR IDENTITY.
EASTFIELD AND THEN WE ARE PART OF THE PROPOSAL IS N AGENCY WHO HAS EXPERIENCE BUT TO HELP S THROUGH THE TRANSITION TO MAKE SURE WE'RE REFLECTING THE MASCOTS AND KEEPING THEM.
KEEPING THE IDENTITY ON CAMPUS BUT ALSO SO THE BEES, THERE IS NO TALK OF THAT GOING AWAY AT THIS POINT.
BUT MAKING SURE WE'RE DOING IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE TO THE PUBLIC. AND THEN WE CAN LAUNCH THE BRAND COHESIVELY. DOES THAT HELP?
>> AND THIS 180,000 ALSO INCLUDES THE MARKETING PLAN FOR
EL CENTRO'S CULINARY? >> CORRECT.
>> GIVE US AN IDEA HOW MUCH IS GOING TO GO TOWARD THAT?
>> WE DIDN'T BREAK IT OUT THAT WAY.
THE WAY WE DESIGNED IT BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE LAUNCHING THE CULINARY PROGRAM IN JANUARY SOFTLY WITH EVENTS, FOUNDATION EVENTS.
WE DECIDED TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE WE WANTED THAT TO ALSO NOT COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER AS WE'RE TRYING TO ROLL OUT THE COLLEGE BRAND AND COLONY PROGRAM, WE WANT A COHESIVE APPROACH SO IT MAKES SENSE TO THE PUBLIC.
WE WANT TO GET BOTH OF THOSE OUT LOUDLY TO THE PUBLIC SO THEY ARE AWARE. IT IS INCLUDED.
>> AND JUST AS A REMINDER ON THAT, THAT'S FOR THE LUCORDON BLUE SITE. THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR A
[A. Approval of Amendment to Policy Concerning Board Legal Status – BAA (LOCAL) Management of College District Funds]
