00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:03,500
Last night's Board meeting was filled with 
Promise and Purpose.

2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:08,400


3
00:00:08,410 --> 00:00:11,200
I love it when a Board meeting begins with 
wonderful students & teachers...

4
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:13,200
...being recognized for their hard work.

5
00:00:13,210 --> 00:00:17,020
Last night we were introduced to Lemm, Metzler 
& Ulrich honorees.

6
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:19,500
They represent such promise for our community.

7
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:25,700
The Board also recognized the aweseome TMEA 
All-State students and Klein High TMEA Honor 
Orchestra.

8
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:31,600
Associate Superintendent Curt Drouillard 
was recognized for his 37 years of service 
to Klein ISD.

9
00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:33,500
We wish him well in his retirement.

10
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:37,900
Jason Bailey, a Klein Forest HS graduate, 
was honored as the alumni of the month.

11
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:43,100
And Fujitsu was presented with this month's 
TASB Stand Up for Texas Public Schools award.

12
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:48,200
One of the highlights of this month's meeting 
was the long-awaited approval of the 2017-2018 
calendar.

13
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:52,600
As you know, two calendar options were developed 
around these priorities.

14
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:56,100
And in February, we presented these options 
for your input.

15
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:58,600
More than 4,000 responses were returned.

16
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:01,500
The results were within 100 votes of each 
other.

17
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:03,500
So almost split down the middle.

18
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:06,700
Ultimately, calendar "B" was chosen & approved 
by the Board...

19
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:10,990
...because it provides a great transition 
into the established priorities.

20
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:14,700
We're excited this calendar is a stronger 
one for student learning & professional development.

21
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:16,990
And thank you for your input.

22
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:21,500
We will be looking for ways to make the calendar 
even better next year with all the suggestions 
we received.

23
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:26,000
Finally, I had the pleasure of updating the 
Board on the strategic planning committee 
work.

24
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:29,800
More than 600 people applied to do this important 
work...

25
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:32,400
...and 70 dedicated folks were ultimately 
selected.

26
00:01:32,410 --> 00:01:35,300
We've completed two of the planned five sessions.

27
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:39,400
We want to make this process transparent, 
so we set up a new website...

28
00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:43,900
...where you can find information about our 
shared vision, strategic planning information 
and more.

29
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:47,200
I encourage you to follow our work as we 
develop a viable plan...

30
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:52,900
...to make our shared vision of every student 
entering with a promise & exiting with a 
purpose a reality.

31
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:54,900
That's Klein ISD in about 90 seconds.

32
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,200
See you next time.

33
00:01:56,210 --> 00:02:00,000
