ITEM #9 – REQUEST TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 2013-2014 ALVIN ISD TAX RATE

A resolution was presented to the

Board of Trustees for consideration

of the 2013-2014 tax rate as follows:

Maintenance & Operations $1.040000

Interest & Sinking $0.289100

TOTAL: $1.329100

Trustee Harris made a motion to

approve the tax rate for 2013-2014

as presented. Trustee McCauley

seconded the motion.

Trustee Lansford made an

amendment to the motion proposing

the following tax rate:

Maintenance & Operations $1.010000

Interest & Sinking $0.289100

TOTAL: $1,289100

Trustee Stringer seconded the

motion.

Mr. Lansford noted that the Board

had voted to use 8.6 million of fund

balance for bond projects – further

noting he wanted to give back to the

tax payers by reducing the tax rate

by 3 cents.

President Wennerstrom noted that

the tax rate was agreed upon when

the budget was set and when the M

& O is reduced by 3 cents the State

then also takes funding away – thus

hurting the tax payer for the District

would not be getting the most for

the tax payers money.

Mr. King then alluded to the “golden

pennies” noting there is a different

yield – for when you reduce one it

doesn’t equate to an even

distribution. Mr. King further noted

that the District would be losing

much more than the taxpayers are

gaining -- in essence Alvin ISD

would be subsidizing the State.

A lengthy discussion ensued

regarding fund balance and the tax

rate.

President Wennerstrom then called

for a vote on the amended motion

which failed with Trustee’s Stringer

and Lansford voting for and

Trustee’s McCauley, Harris,

Wennerstrom, Metoyer and Tonini

voting against.

President Wennerstrom then called

for a vote to the original motion to

set the 2013-2014 tax rate at

$1.329100. Motion carried (5-2)

with Trustees Stringer and Lansford

voting against.

ITEM #10 – REQUEST TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CLASS SIZE WAIVER

A class-size waiver was needed to

enroll twenty-three students per

classroom for twelve elementary

schools due to the need to staff –

based on best practices to serve the

District’s most at risk students.


approve the class size waiver as

presented. Trustee Tonini seconded

the motion.

Trustee Stringer noted that she is

opposed to class size waivers as she

thinks this does a disservice to

students and teachers. She further

noted she would like to see the

District move toward smaller class

sizes.

President Wennerstrom stated that

this had been discussed during the

budget process – yet waivers can

only be submitted to TEA during

this time of year.

Discussion ensued regarding class

sizes, number of teachers that were

hired for this school year as well as

the interventionists that had been

hired.

Superintendent Brent stated that

Administration will look at staffing

allotments when the budget process

begins and explore with the Board

to find the optimal staffing ratio for

before the adoption process.

Trustee Metoyer concluded the

discussion by noting that everyone

would like lower teacher student

11


ratios but the waiver is the best

solution for the 46 classrooms that

are over now.

Motion carried (5-2) with Trustee’s

Lansford and Stringer voting against

the class size waiver

ITEM #11 – REQUEST TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF EMPLOYMENT AND RESIGNATIONS

As presented


approve all employments and

resignations as presented. Trustee

Stringer seconded the motion.

Trustee Stringer noted her desire to

hire those who teach math to have a

degree in math – rather than hiring

a generalist.

A brief discussion ensued regarding

the certification entitled “Generalist”

and what a generalist is certified to

teach. Dr. Veloz noted that many

times in the hiring process a

generalist (when hired to teach

math) is also given a math test by

the District’s Lead Math Teacher to

ensure knowledge of content.

Motion carried unanimously (7-0).

ITEM #12 – REQUEST TO CONSIDER APPROVALOF ADDITIONAL COUNSELOR STAFFING POSITION FOR ADAPT

The need for a full-time counselor at

ADAPT has become critical. The

students in an at-risk setting, such

as ADAPT, need a counselor to

assist in many areas, including

graduation plans, college and career

readiness, crisis counseling and

social skill development. Most of

the students are sent to ADAPT

because they have not been able to

develop a positive trusting

relationship with an adult. The

need for a full-time counselor with

whom the students can form a

positive relationship is vital.

The counselor will be instrumental

in implementing and supporting

social skills programs, advising

students academically and

empowering them to realize the

opportunities they have as 21st

century learners. The counselor will

also form counseling groups to

address the ranging issues students

face in their daily lives, such as

anger management, drug

prevention, responsible choices, and

others.

Trustee Stringer made a motion to

approve the additional counselor for

ADAPT. Trustee Tonini seconded

the motion. Motion carried

unanimously (7-0).

ITEM #13 – SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

Superintendent Brent gave an

overview of current activities in the

District.

ITEM #14 – FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS

Trustee Lansford requested the

following three topics be addressed:

1. Require all topics discussed in

Superintendent Report to be listed on the

agenda.

2. Look at Local Policy DFE where all contract

employees resignations require Board

approval

3. Presentation of the requirements and the

process of the school district becoming two

school districts

ITEM #15 – CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION

A closed session was not held

ITEM #16 – ADJOURNMENT

SUBJ: PROPOSAL #1311BUS

Bid Proposal #1309 for Charter Bus Services & Travel Agents/Tours and Events was extended and recently

approved by the board with seven qualified vendors having a Satisfactory or Good rating on charter bus services

meeting the terms and conditions outlined in our bidding process.

It was brought to our attention after the bid proposals were awarded, an additional vendor may be utilized by our

District called Green Light Group Tours. Currently, they meet our Satisfactory or Good Rating as outlined in the

bidding process. We extended another bid proposal to qualify them as an approved vendor under our terms and

conditions with their return response to the bid proposal. This bid proposal was extended through legal

advertisement and on our district wide website for any additional participation from outside vendors. We are

proposing Green Light Group Tours be added to the existing approved vendors list for district wide bus services and

travel agents/tours and events category.

Many of these charter bus service companies are utilized by area districts and may be completely booked or unable

to service our account upon request therefore a non-exclusive award is required. We will also be encourage

campuses and departments to shop the approved vendors and receive quotes to determine the best value to the

district based on availability, cost and service-ability.

Purchasing will also require final itineraries from campuses and departments utilizing the Travel Agents category to

check their charter bus service ratings through Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) prior to their

trip to ensure a Satisfactory or Good rating.

Purchasing is recommending award of Green Light Group Tours to be added to the approved vendor’s list for

Charter Bus Services and Travel Agents/Tours and Events under the #1311 BUS bid proposal.

The term of this contract is three years, as long as both entities agree to the terms of the contract and their ratings

stay at an Excellent or Good rating with FMCSA. Expiration of this contract will be November, 2016.

RE: AHS PO# 14000994, Coachcom, LLC, $22,837.00 and PO# 14001338, $128.00 (additional required cable)

Mr. King,

In July we were asked by the AYBC and Head Football Coach, Trey Hermann, to assist in the purchase of a new headset system (all inclusive) to be used by all AHS athletics when using Alvin Memorial

Stadium. This headset system is state of the art and after extensive research was determined to be the set AHS wanted purchased by the

AYBC. In order to receive the material prior to the 2013 Football the order

had to placed prior to 8/1/13. At that time the AYBC didn’t have the necessary funds and requested AHS to assist with the initial order and payment with the understanding they would be reimbursed by

the AYBC upon completion of the annual Sports Card fundraiser.

The order was received and is currently being used. We were reimbursed for the total amount of the purchase orders on 10/17/13. A donation form was completed and submitted to your office for

approval and deposit into various AHS accounts. The equipment will be donated to AHS by the AYBC. The remaining

payments will be made by the AYBC.

At this time we are requesting approval for payment. Sincerely,

Johnny Briseño AHS Principal

Request to Consider Approval of Backup Submitter for TEASE

Account

Category Operations/Action Item

Resource Personnel Fred Brent, Superintendent

Attachments Designating Backup Submitters for Processing TEASE Requests

Rationale As Primary Request Submitters, District Superintendents and

heads of other organizations provide the first line of approval for access to TEA applications. For large organizations, the

superintendent may wish to approve backup request submitters to ensure that staff requests are processed in a timely manner.

Dr. Brent would like to appoint the District’s Accountability and Assessment Director, Brent Shaw, as the backup submitter for

the District. The approval for backup submitters will be made on a calendar

year basis and the access will be terminated one calendar year from board approval date.

The superintendent is still fully liable for the actions of his/her backups.

District Goal(s) Academic Performance Teachers and Staff

Budget Implications

None


That the Board approve Brent Shaw as the backup submitter for the TEASE Account.

Designating Backup Submitters for Processing TEASE Requests

1

As Primary Request Submitters, District Superintendents and heads of other organizations provide the first line of approval for access to TEA applications. For especially large organizations, or for applications that many staff members need to access, the head may wish to approve backup request submitters to ensure that staff requests are processed in a timely manner.

Note that approval for backup submitters will be made on a calendar year basis and the access will be terminated one calendar year from board approval date (or sooner if a request to revoke a designee account is received in the interim). Please note that the superintendent is still fully liable for the actions of his/her backups.

There are two types of backup submitters:

o A Primary Request Submitter Designee provides backup support to the organization head for submitting requests for all applications for a single organization, such as a school district. Like the organization head, these submitters see all requests and current accounts for the organization’s TEASE users. Delegating this level of authority requires board approval. As approved board minutes are received, designees are provided with access to User Administration+, with a primary request submitter designee role.

o A Secondary Submitter provides backup support to the organization head for one application only, such as TREx or eGrants, for the organization. A Secondary Submitter can view all requests and current accounts for the specified application only.

To Set Up a Primary Request Submitter Designee

To request setup of a Primary Request Submitter Designee, the organization head sends an email message to [email protected] with the name of the individual(s) to be set up as designee(s) and evidence of board approval. Board approval may consist of board minutes noting approval/authorization of a specific list of individuals to review and “submit” district staff requests for TEA SE access to TEA (for approving applications containing confidential and non-confidential data). We will provide ample opportunity for districts to meet with their boards to obtain evidence of approval as noted.

Given that applications using TEA SE are subject to change, we suggest the following generic wording for board discussion: “We request that the Board authorize the following persons (person1, person2, person3, etc.) to act as superintendent designee for approving staff requests (also referred to as "submitting requests to TEA") for access to one or more TEA web applications accessed through the Texas Education Agency Secure Environment (TEA SE). This authorization is valid for the calendar year starting (start date) to (end date)”.

NOTE: Board minutes serve as documentation for board approval of primary submitter designees and should be forwarded to our office at [email protected] as an email attachment. Or, a paper copy can be sent to:

Austin, TX 78701

To Set Up a Secondary Request Submitter

To request setup of a Secondary Request Submitter, the organization head may log on to User Administration+ and submit the request using the automated request process. He or she will be asked to indicate for which application the Secondary Request Submitter will be submitting requests. The pick list contains the acronyms for these applications, which are spelled out on the TEASE Application Reference Page at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/webappaccess/AppRef.htm.

There are a few applications which still require the organization head to sign a paper form. In that case the Superintendent should send an email message to our office at [email protected] requesting that a staff member be designated Secondary Request Submitter. Please include the name of the staff member and the application.

Request to Consider Inter-local Agreement with Brazoria

County

Category Business


Services

Attachments Memo from Jeff Couvillion, Director of Building Programs

Rationale This inter-local agreement between Alvin ISD and Brazoria

County is part of the original construction budget already approved by the District for Elementary #15. The agreement

clarifies each entities responsibilities and cost for the improvements to for road along our property at County Road 59 & Kirby Drive intersection and the addition of a traffic

signal.


Budget Implications

None


That Board approve the inter-local agreement with the City of Pearland regarding Elementary #15.

98

Memo

Date: Nov 4, 2013

To: Tommy King, Deputy Superintendent

From: Jeffery Couvillion, Director of Building Programs

RE: Award of Inter-local Agreement with Brazoria County

Prior to the construction of Elem #15, AISD Building Programs began working with Brazoria County on the possibility of widening CR 59 between Hwy 288 and Kirby Drive. The widening of this section of CR 59 along with the build out of the intersection at Kirby Drive would greatly enhance the flow of traffic into and around the new Elem #15 campus. Signalization of the CR 59 and Kirby intersection along with an eastbound turn lane into the campus drive were additional improvements that were recommended in the Traffic Impact Analysis that was performed prior to the permitting of the project. Phase One of the project has been completed by Brazoria County to just west of the newly opened Business Center Drive. Phase Two of the project is scheduled to begin by the end of the 2013 and is set to include:

Widen CR59 to just west of Kirby Dr.

Construction of traffic signal and pedestrian crossing signals at intersection of CR 59 and Kirby Dr.

Addition of eastbound right turn lane into the campus drive on CR 59.

Addition of a sidewalk along the South side of Kirby Dr.

State law provides for the ability for Alvin ISD and Brazoria County to enter into an Interlocal Agreement in which resources are shared in order to accomplish mutually beneficial objectives such as those provided for in this project. By working with Brazoria County, the final negotiated Interlocal Agreement would allow Alvin ISD to share in the funding for:

Construction of traffic signal and pedestrian crossing signals at intersection of CR 59 and Kirby Dr.

Addition of eastbound right turn lane into the campus drive on CR 59.

Materials Testing

99

The Inter-local Agreement will set Alvin ISD’s portion of the funding for this project at an amount not to exceed $251,000. This amount is within the original budgeted dollars established for the Elem #15 project and approved by the Board earlier this year. Timing for the completion of the project is scheduled to take place in Aug/Sept of 2014. AISD Building Programs along with our General Contractor will be working very closely with Brazoria County to help minimize the impact of construction on the opening of the new Elementary #15 campus.

Alvin ISD Building Programs Dept is requesting approval for the Superintendent of Schools to execute the final negotiated Inter-Local Agreement with Brazoria County Commissioners Court.

Request to Consider Construction Manager at Risk Delivery

System for Alvin Junior High

Category Business


Services

Attachments Memo from Jeff Couvillion, Director of Building Programs

Rationale The Competitive Sealed Proposal is the District’s standard

method. The Board must approve the alternate delivery method, Construction Manager at Risk, when a project would

better serve the District. This type of delivery system is recommended for the Alvin Junior High because of the limited available construction time is better suited to the

flexibility provided with the Construction Manager at Risk.


Budget Implications

None

Recommendation or

Proposed Motion

That Board approve Construction Manager at Risk Delivery

System for Alvin Junior High.

101

Memo

Date: November 5, 2013

To: Tommy King, Deputy Superintendent

From: Jeffery Couvillion, Director of Building Programs

RE: Request Construction Manager @ Risk Procurement Method for

Alvin Junior High Expansion & Renovation

Utilization of the Construction Manager @ Risk contracting method best suits projects with challenges similar to the Alvin Junior High Expansion and Renovation project:

depend heavily on exploration of existing building or site during design

multiple phased projects

tight scheduling needs

ensure safety at occupied campuses/buildings

instructional continuity where it’s crucial that construction activities are not disruptive to student/staff activity

budget challenges of an expanding construction market

The CM@ Risk process is the best method for managing safety and coordination

of school activities with ongoing construction. The CM@ Risk contractor becomes responsible for phasing work to keep all programs operational, protecting our students, staff, and visitors, while staying within budget in an expanding market.

Building Programs Department hereby requests the Board approve the use of the

Construction Manager @ Risk procurement method for this project. Approval of the CM@ Risk contractor and final construction funding (Guaranteed

Maximum Price or GMP) shall be submitted for Board approval on a future agenda. The CM @ Risk contractor will advertise and solicit competitive bids from subcontractors in the presence of AISD staff who oversee and assure best value to the District.

Re: Growth positions – Special Education Paraprofessionals

At the start of the 2013-14 school year, I requested five growth positions for special education

paraprofessionals to accommodate the growth we are experiencing with our population of students

with significant disabilities. To date, all positions have been placed on campuses due to the

enrollment of new students who require considerable 1:1 support. Positions have been placed at York

Elementary (Fundamental Skills), Walt Disney Elementary (1:1 aide – newly enrolled student), Mark

Twain Elementary (Acquiring Social Development ), Nolan Ryan Junior High (Fundamental Skills),

and Manvel High School (District Behavior Class).

I am requesting that the board approve an additional 5 growth positions for special education

paraprofessional staff for the remainder of the 2013-14 school year. If approved, my department can

continue to respond quickly to program and student needs as we continue to see growth in our

programs.

Please let me know if you need any further information with respect to this request.
