00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:03,500
Some of the highlights from the November 
Board meeting...next!

00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:08,500


3
00:00:08,510 --> 00:00:11,100
Last night, the Board of Trustees held their 
monthly meeting.

4
00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:15,000
The night began with recognition of the veterans 
in the audience.

5
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:22,200
It was indeed an honor to recognize our veterans 
on the heels of the successful Veterans Day 
breakfast and Pass-In-Review last Friday.

6
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:27,000
If you weren't able to make it to this year's 
event, mark your calendar for 2017.

7
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:33,950
Students and teachers from Ehrhardt Elementary 
and Strack Intermediate were introduced by 
campus administrators and recognized by the 
Board.

8
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:40,950
I love seeing these young leaders at the 
Board meetings and having the opportunity 
to recognize our outstanding teachers!

9
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:44,700
This month's recipient of the TASB Stand 
Up for Texas Public Schools award...

10
00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:48,200
...went to the American Association of University 
Women of North Harris County.

11
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:53,400
This group faithfully supports Klein by funding 
programs and awarding campus grants.

12
00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:59,600
Since 1993, the AAUW has awarded more than 
$53,000 to our campuses.

13
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:02,000
We certainly appreciate their support of 
our students.

14
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:05,500
The Board approved the Klein legislative 
priorities last night.

15
00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:10,000
Each biennium, the district develops a comprehensive 
document in support of our students...

16
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:14,500
...to meet their teaching and learning needs 
and allow for efficient and effective operations.

17
00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:18,000
The 2016 Legislative Priorities are organized 
in 4 key areas...

18
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:22,400
...school finance, local control, assessment 
& accountability and anti-vouchers.

19
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:24,600
You can view this document on the district 
homepage.

20
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:29,100
Finally, join me in welcoming Cathy Arellano, 
our newly elected Board member.

21
00:01:29,110 --> 00:01:33,100
Ms. Arellano is a retired Klein ISD administrator 
and local business owner.

22
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:37,600
She will be sworn in at the December Board 
meeting and we look forward to adding her 
to the Board.

23
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:41,300
That's Klein ISD in 90 seconds. See you next 
time!

24
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:45,000
