(2/∞)

We are 9 minutes away. I’m here. That’s the important part. 😉

The Board left an empty seat in memoriam of Lori Twomey. #RIP

(To avoid any confusion, this was a joke. Twomey moved out of the state.)

Tonight’s #InspiringMoment is about @HumbleISD’s Personalized Student Counseling.

More information is available on their site @ humbleisd.net/Page/1046.

Dr. Fagen recognizing our partnership with Memorial Hermann, and announces that Memorial Hermann will be opening a health clinic at HHS and offering health services to students at no cost.

Parental consent required (opt-out available). Funded by NE Hospital Authority ($3.9MM).

Humble ISD provided land. Clinic will be managed by Memorial Hermann.

Dr. Fagen: 97.7% of our students grew in reading last year.

Dr. Schultz announcing elem teachers of the year!

One comment from the public tonight from Erick w/ Humble Cares. Speaking about transparency around the Pos. 6 appointment process. Says questions were sent to the Board and not answered. Are not suggesting an election, but are concerned about lack of transparency.

Would like transparency around applicants and what the Board is looking for in applicants. Says if a decision has already been made without transparency, he hopes the Board understands the mistrust that would cause.

Fagen: Bond Advisory Committee has started the prioritization process. Anybody can attend the meetings and be aware of what’s happening throughout the process.

More info available on the CBAC page @ humbleisd.net/cbac.

Scarfo: Finance Committee will bring a recommendation regarding health plans (staying with current plan or switching to TRS plan) in December’s meeting.

Kirchhoffer makes a motion to appoint Marques Holmes to Position 6.

Holmes ran for Position 4 in the last election. You can see our profile on him here: hisdparents.substack.com/p/holmes.

This was the results of that election. Kirchhoffer is the candidate that won that position.

The Board passes the motion 5-0 (Parker abstained) to appoint Mr. Holmes to Position 6.

This item just passed as part of the Consent agenda:

“To accommodate additional security and police needs for specific campus based support and added truancy pursuits, it is recommended that the Board authorize 4 additional positions (2 Security Guard and 2 Police Officer)...

… By approving this item, the Board authorizes the Superintendent to transfer all budget and funding needed for these additional positions, and delegates authority to the Superintendent to modify these positions in the event of changing conditions.”

Middle School #10 now has a name:

Autumn Ridge Middle School
Mascot: Alligators

Budget vs. Actual information

Scarfo: Wants Board to add motion in Dec mtg to cancel membership in National School Board Association and not attend their events/conferences because the NSBA doesn’t share our values. Unlike them, we encourage parents to be engaged and to participate.

Martina polls the Board to see if they want to consider:

Sitton: No.
Morrison: No.
Parker: Yes.
Kirchhoffer: No.
Lemond Dixon: No.

MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
