5.I. Proclamation 2024: Textbook Adoption
Description:
Proclamation 2024 identifies the subjects that will be adopted in the 2024-2025 school year. The subject Science, Technology Applications, K-8, CTE: See Proclamation, and Personal Financial Literacy and Economics. JISD is a closed district. This means publishers may not call principals and ask for time to meet with campus teachers during the school day. Publishers may send one copy of each sample to campuses for teachers to review. Samples will be distributed in print and digital formats. The Directors of Elementary and Secondary Education along with campus administration will select teachers to serve on the textbook selection committee. All committee members will be asked to sign a disclosure form stating they have not worked for a publisher submitting materials for this adoption nor will they accept gifts, including dinners. The committee will review and evaluate the instructional materials that numerous publishers have submitted to the State for review. The committee members will receive samples to review, be asked to attend four before/after school meetings, and an Instructional Materials Showcase to evaluate these materials. Teachers will use rubrics that check for TEKS alignment. At the Showcase, vendors will demonstrate the instructional materials they are offering in Proclamation 2024. At the final meeting teachers will use the rubrics and rank vote the materials they have evaluated. This meeting is usually only an hour in length. Attendance at all four meetings is critical. STRATEGIC GOAL: Goal 1: Every student will share ownership in their learning to achieve success and reach their full potential. Strategy 1.2 : Provide all students with foundational academic knowledge and skills by meeting their individual needs.Textbook Adoption Committee: Michelle West - 1st Grade Elizabeth Herrera - 1st Grade Lindsey Johnson - 3rd Grade Kimmie Kneen - 4th Grade Javier Castro- 4th Grade Keeryn Leudecking - 5th Grade Tiesha White 5th Grade Julie Johnson - Interventionist Dora Garcia - Science Lab Teacher Crystal Thompson - 6th Science Alexis Vaquera - 8th Science Michael Griffiths - Technology Bruce Bell - STEM Emma Hepner - Health Science Laura Ghinelli - Biology Lori Murr - Graphic Design Carla Clegg - Instructional Coach Diane Rising - Instructional Coach Madeline/Heather- Instructional Coach Shelly Hurley - Instructional Coach Kadie Tibbetts- Curriculum Coordination Margaret Eissler-Curriculum Coordination Kelly Blair - Director Maria Cuellar- Director Tiffany Weiss- Director |

7.A. Consideration and Possible Action to Approve the 2023 Bond Operations Center Schematic Design as presented by Sledge Enginering and Huckabee
Description:
The 2023 Bond includes the New Operations Center (Ops Center). This Operations Center is intended to move Transportation, Maintenance, and Shipping & Receiving to one complex for more efficient operations. The area vacated by Transportation will be used for JHS expansion including CTE expansion. The Ops Center will also relocate Maintenance and Shipping & Receiving from JMS. This move frees up space for remodel to JMS CTE and Pre-Ag classes or otherwise made available for the future needs at this campus.
The board designated the Operations Center site as the west side of the existing Jarrell High School at the regular board meeting on August 16, 2023. The new Operations Center needs to open in 2025 to accommodate the future High School expansion project. A committee was formed to provide input to the Design Team. The committee consisted of Administration, Custodial, Maintenance, Shipping & Receiving, and Transportation. A preliminary site plan and floorplans were developed as the result of the various meetings with JISD, Huckabee, and Sledge Engineering. An update was presented to the Board as communication item on September 6, 2023. The current Schematic Design packet includes final recommended site plan and floorplan. Construction cost is tracking within the $14.4 million budget. Schematic Design approval is required per Huckabee’s Agreement with the District. Schematic Design includes building size, building floorplan, and preliminary site layout. After Schematic Design is approved, the next phase is Design Development where details of site layout, building interior layout, and finishes will be developed. |
