[00:05:01]

[Receive Presentation by the McKinney Independent School District regarding the Attendance Credit Election under Texas HB 3 (2019)]

BUSINESS. OPERATIONS ACCOUNTABILITY AND TECHNOLOGY FOR MCKINNEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE HAVE SOME ELECTIONS. EXCUSE ME. IF YOU WOULD TAKE JUST A MOMENT. AND READ THAT SLIDE CAREFULLY AS THERE'S GONNA BE A REALLY SHORT QUIZ. THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. OKAY? WE ARE GOING TO LOWER THE M I S T TAX RATE BY AT LEAST THREE CENTS.

EVERYBODY WITH ME. YEAH. THERE ARE FOUR BALLOT ITEMS. RIGHT, AND I WILL GO THROUGH THEM QUICKLY. OR BALLOT ISLANDS. VERY FIRST WHEN THE ATTENDANCE CREDIT ELECTION. AS EVERYONE HEARD OF THE TERM ROBIN HOOD. RECAPTURE. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T GIVE ME JUST ONE SECOND, AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF EXACTLY HOW THIS WORKS. LET'S TAKE A SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHERE THE COMMUNITY HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BUSINESS. TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BUSINESS PROPERTY. TREMENDOUS ABOUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE. OR A GIVEN TAX RATE AND A GIVEN NUMBER OF STUDENTS. DISTRICT COLLECTS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF

[00:25:06]

FOR FIRST SALARY AND BENEFITS. WHICH IS 80% OF THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION BUDGET, SALARY AND BENEFITS. WE ARE A PEOPLE INTENSIVE. SERVICE. THE NEXT 15% OF OUR BUDGET. UTILITIES.

CUSTODIAL. TRANSPORTATION. INSURANCE. SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS. ALL ITEMS THAT WERE NOT NECESSARILY IN CONTROL OF INFLATIONARY INCREASES OF THOSE EXPENSES. IF DIESEL GOES TO $4 A GALLON WE CAN'T JUST SHUT DOWN THE BUSSES. ONE OTHER EXPENDITURE THAT COMES OUT OF THIS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION BUCKET. IS RECAPTURE. RECAPTURE PAYMENT. NO. INSTEAD OF CALLING IT WRITE A CHECK. IT HAS BEEN CALLED SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDITS. IT IS WRITING A CHECK. NOW, LET'S GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY. PRIOR TO THE 11 12 SCHOOL YEAR. PRIOR TO 11 12 WHEN YOU BECAME DESIGNATED A PROPERTY WEALTHY SCHOOL DISTRICT. LEGISLATURE REQUIRED YOU TO GO TO YOUR VOTERS AND HOLD AND ATTENDANCE CREDIT ELECTION. ATTENDANCE CREDIT ELECTION. GAVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THE AUTHORITY TO WRITE A CHECK. FOR THEIR RECAPTURE PAYMENT. THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDITS. BEGINNING WITH THE 11 12 SCHOOL YEAR. LEGISLATURE DECIDED I'M NOT GONNA MAKE YOU DO IN ELECTION.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM YOU ANYWAY. IF YOU DON'T PAY US SO NO ELECTION WAS

[00:30:03]

EVERYBODY WITH ME SO FAR. OKAY? SO. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS. IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL ARE LET ME REPHRASE THAT WHEN WE ARE SUCCESSFUL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WRITE A CHECK TO PURCHASE ATTENDANCE CREDITS FROM THE STATE WITH LOCAL PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS. AND GO ON OUR MERRY WAY. CREATING A MORE EQUITABLE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE. IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL. D A. WILL D AND X PROPERTY. FROM THE MCKINNEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TAX BASE. UNTIL WE ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED PROPERTY. WEALTHY. MAKING OUR RECAPTURE PAYMENT ZERO. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW THAT AFFECTS THE INTEREST IN SINKING FUND SIDE OF THE HOUSE, THE I N S SIDE OF THE HOUSE. BUILDING LAND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO JUST WRITE A CHECK. IN ORDER TO BUY A HOUSE. SCHOOL DISTRICT'S ARE THE SAME.

AS AN INDIVIDUAL. I GO TAKE OUT A MORTGAGE FROM A BANK. AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE ISSUE BONDS. WE SELL BONDS. AND PAY BACK THAT OVER TIME. JUST LIKE A MORTGAGE. YOU WERE ALLOWED TO USE THE INTEREST IN SINKING FUND. BUDGET. OR BUILDINGS, LAND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. WE ALSO HAVE TO MAINTAIN OUR BUILDINGS WHERE WE DO A AS WELL GET TO HEAR IN A MOMENT. A 15 YEAR REFRESH CYCLE IN ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS. EVERY ONE OF OUR KIDS DESERVES EVERY SINGLE DAY TO BE IN A FIRST CLASS FACILITY. SO EVERY 15 YEARS WE GO INTO EVERY ONE OF OUR BUILDINGS. NEW AGE PSC NEW DUCTWORK, NEW CEILINGS, NEW LIGHT NEW WALLS. NEW BATHROOMS KNEW EVERYTHING. IF YOU SEE IT, IT IS REPLACED. IT IS A BRAND NEW BUILDING. SO THERE IS NEVER AN INCIDENTS WHERE YOU WALK INTO A BUILDING AND. ARE SHOCKED AT THE QUALITY OF IT.

YOU WILL DEFINITELY FIND THAT THROUGHOUT THE STATE. BUT NOT IN MCKINNEY. I ASTI WE ALSO.

HAVE OUR WONDER THE WORLD LAPTOP PROGRAM WHERE EVERY STUDENT PRE K THROUGH TWO IS ISSUED AN IPAD. AND EVERY THIRD GRADER THROUGH 12TH GRADE, IS ISSUED A MAC BOOK AIR. THAT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROGRAM. HOWEVER IT ABSOLUTELY LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL STUDENTS AND MCKINNEY, I STE. OF WHICH 34% ARE LOW SOCIAL ECONOMIC. HERE'S THE INTERESTING PIECE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S ARE ALLOWED TO USE UP TO 40 YEAR DEBT. SOME DUDE.

SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORS ACTUALLY DO. MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS HE USED 30 YEAR DEATH. MCKINNEY. I S T. USES 20 YEAR DEBT. OR BUILDINGS, LAND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. AND USES FIVE YEAR DEATH. ROD TECHNOLOGY. OUR LAPTOP PROGRAM. YOU GET A LAPTOP FOR FIVE YEARS AT THE END. WE TAKE THEM BACK UNLESS THE STUDENT WANTS TO BUY THEM. AND WE RE SELL THEM. THOSE LAPTOPS LAST FIVE YEARS, SO WE USE FIVE YEAR BONDS TO PURCHASE THOSE LAPTOPS. I'M HERE IN A MINUTE. THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO COME INTO. AH. DEMONSTRATE ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES MCKINNEY I S T HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS BECAUSE OF

[00:35:02]

HERE'S THE KICKER. THIS ELECTION. IS ONE SHOT ON LEE. AND LAST FOREVER. THERE IS NO OH, IT DIDN'T PASS WILL COME BACK OUT. TRY AGAIN. NO. IT IS ONE SHOT ON LEE AND IT LAST FOREVER. THIS WILL BE PERMANENT. 17% OF OUR LOCAL PROPERTY VALUE WILL BE PERMANENTLY DE ANNEXED TO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. NEVER TO COME BACK. THAT IS CATASTROPHIC. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CATASTROPHIC. I DO NOT USE THAT WORD LIGHTLY.

THERE WAS A BETTER WORD I WOULD USE IT. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE BALLOT LANGUAGE LOOKS LIKE, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE NOT ALREADY GONE TO VOTE I BELIEVE ARE DEVOTING STARTED YESTERDAY.

IT SAYS, ALLOW MCKINNEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO USE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS TO PURCHASE ATTENDANCE CREDITS FROM THE STATE. WE'RE NOT IN CHARGE OF THAT BALLOT LANGUAGE.

AND AS YOU SEE HERE IN A MOMENT WHEN WE GET TO OUR BOND ELECTIONS. THE BALLOT LANGUAGE IS QUITE ANTI PUBLIC ACT. SO IF YOU DID NOT YOU WERE NOT INFORMED. BUT WHAT THAT BALLOT WAS GOING TO SAY IT WOULD BE HARD TO KNOW. WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY VOTING FOR. RIGHT? QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE CREDIT ELECTION. ONE. PROPERTY THAT IN IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE, THE PROPERTY THAT'S DID NEXT. BE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY, ACCORDING TO MY CONVERSATION WITH THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, THEY WOULD START WITH THE LARGEST TAXPAYERS FIRST. UM THERE THERE IS NOTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THEIR PROCESS OR PROCEDURE. I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED THEY WOULD HAVE STARTED AT THE LARGEST TAXPAYERS FIRST, WHICH PROBABLY WOULD HAVE COME DOWN TO BEING STARTING WITH THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. SO, FOR INSTANCE OF A NON CORE WIRE COULD BE D ANNEXED FROM MCKINNEY. I STS. BACKSPACE YES, SIR, SENT TO ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT FOREVER AND ALWAYS IT'S GOING. THAT'S CORRECT. YES SIR. BRACEY ON ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, SIR. AND IF JUST GIVING EXAMPLE II. IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP 10 TAXPAYERS INSIDE MCKINNEY I STS BOUNDARIES. UM. THAT THAT DOESN'T COVER ANYWHERE. CLOSE.

THE 2.9 BILLION. NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE. THEY HAVE TO GO WAY DOWN THE LIST TO GET THERE. IT'S VIRTUALLY ALL REAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, AND MCKINNEY I SD WOULD BE D ANNEXED. MR BIRD. I APPRECIATE YOUR APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, THE EDUCATION THE, EXPLANATION OF IT ALL. UM AND THAT BEING SAID. UM, EARLY VOTING STARTED YESTERDAY. YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND, UM MY

[00:40:04]

PROBABLE BOX WHEN IT SOUNDS TO ME. THIS IS LIKE CARBON FOOTPRINT TAX. I MEAN, YOU'RE PAYING IT, REGARDLESS IF YOU WANT TO IT'S JUST THE WAY IN WHICH WE CAN LONG TERM PUT OUR ICE TEA IN THE BEST SITUATION. BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE DELAY IN WHICH THIS EDUCATION HAS EVEN GOT TO A PLACE WHERE. SOMEBODY I CAN SEND EVERYBODY TO GO. HEY GO CHECK OUT OUR 80 SEE PRESENTATION TO GET A REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THIS. WHERE IS THIS EDUCATION OUT TO THAT TODAY. WE CAN TRY TO HELP THE I IAN ANYWAY TO GO GO TO THIS YOUTUBE BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS FOR THE LONG TERM OF ICE TEA. I APPRECIATE THAT TREMENDOUSLY. I WILL TELL YOU THAT ON THE MCKINNEY I S T WEBSITE. WE HAVE VIDEOS PRODUCED BY DR MCDANIEL, OUR SUPERINTENDENT. WE HAVE EVERY THIS PRESENTATION IN ITS ENTIRETY. WE CERTAINLY HAVE NUMEROUS RESOURCE IS OUT THERE. I WILL TELL YOU. IT'S AN UPHILL BATTLE SIMPLY BECAUSE COVE IT HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT WITH THE LACK OF ABILITY TO HAVE LARGE PUBLIC GATHERINGS. LIKE IN 2016, WHEN WE HAD OUR LAST BOND PACKAGE, HIE STOOD UP IN FRONT OF AUDITORIUM'S FULL OF PARENTS. NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE TO OPEN, SO IT HAS BEEN VERY CHALLENGING. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING. WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS UM. WE HAVE EVERY RESOURCE KNOWN DEMAND. WE'VE CREATED A YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO YOUR POINT. AND, UH, WE'RE. WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER. I CERTAINLY AM READY TO TALK TO ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME. BECAUSE I'M JUST SAYING THE EDUCATION THAT YOU JUST GAVE ME IN THIS SHORT PRESENTATION REGARDS THE ROBIN HOOD. WAS DEFINITELY NOT MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW. WHAT THE ROBIN HOOD WAS ABOUT. FROM THE STANDPOINT I ALWAYS WAS UNDER THE SCENE WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF THE ROBIN HOOD SITUATION.

AND YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE NOT? YOU'RE JUST HOW THE WET ROBIN HOOD IS BEING PAID. LONG TERM IS THE KEY AT THIS PARTICULAR JUNCTURE. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I WILL TELL YOU TO DATE I'VE DONE SOMEWHERE AROUND 70 PRESENTATIONS. AND I WISH IT WAS 200. YES, SIR. MR BIRD OF A QUESTION AS FAR AS THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX. SURE THIS PROPOSITION FAIL AND THEY TRY TO, YOU KNOW, ZERO SUM GAME THE GET US DOWN TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. IS THAT A ONGOING ROLLING. THE ANNEXATION AS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS, OR IS THAT A ONE TIME D ANNEXATION TO GIVES. MEANING WITH THIS IMPACT OUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS GOING FORWARD WITH NEW SOURCES OF TAX THAT COME INTO EXISTENCE. FROM DEVELOPMENT, OR IS THIS A ONCE THEY GET DOWN TO HIS. ZERO THAT'S ALL THAT'S D ANNEX. FROM THAT POINT ON OR IS A YEAR AFTER YEAR, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DE ANNEX COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. MAINTAIN THAT ZERO IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH T E A ON THAT EXACT QUESTION. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF PROPERTY VALUES ROSE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. BUT ENROLLMENT DID NOT. THAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY WEALTH, ACCORDING TO THE VERY. COMPLICATED FORMULA THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS PUT IN PLACE, WHICH WOULD THEN BRING BACK RECAPTURE. IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH T E A. THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN, WE DON'T KNOW. DON'T LOSE. SO MY ASSUMPTION IS IT WILL BE AN ONGOING PROCESS. YES. OKAY, I WILL PROMISE YOU THIS. I WILL HAVE SOME POSITIVE NEWS HERE IN A MOMENT. BUT YOU GOTTA BEAR WITH ME JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER BEFORE WE GET THERE. OKAY? THE VERY NEXT. WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE THE NEXT ELECTION. VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE ELECTION THE V A. T R E I'M GONNA COME RIGHT BACK TO THIS SLIDE. V A. T. R E. ALLOWS US TO INCREASE THE TAX RATE ON

[00:45:09]

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION TAX RATE. IS COMPRESSED, LOWERED. WHERE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT PICK UP ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS. NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU HAVE 80% OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET IS IN SALARY AND BENEFITS. AND THE OTHER 15. OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET IN. CUSTODIAL UTILITIES TRANSPORTATION, INSURANCE SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS. WHICH. AT 15% THERE IS WE'RE NOT IN CONTROL OF ANY FLESH NERI INCREASES THAN THAT TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OUR PROPERTY INSURANCE BEFORE THE HAIL STORMS. WHAT'S $250,000 A YEAR WITH A $250,000 DEDUCTIBLE. PROPERTY INSURANCE.

TODAY IS 1.4 MILLION. WITH A $2.5 MILLION DEDUCTIBLE. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY TEACHERS THAT ISSE. OKAY, SO HOUSE BILL THREE, SAYS. YOU ARE CAPPED AT 2.5% PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH ANYTHING BEYOND THAT. YOUR TAX RATE IS COMPRESSED TOE WHERE THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL MONEY TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THE EXPERIENCE THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS COME TO EXPECT FROM US? HOW WILL YOU EVER GIVE UP A RAKES? THE ANSWER IS TEXAS PUBLIC AD. YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO GIVE A PAY RAISE. WHEN THE STATE INCREASES THEIR FUNDING INTO PUBLIC AT. SO THIS ALLOWS US TO INCREASE THE EMMA NO TAX RATE. TWO PENNIES. THAT IS ABOUT $3.1 MILLION. $3.1 MILLION. THAT IS A $240 MILLION BUCKET. 3.1 MILLION. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. A 2% PAY RAISE IS 3.2 MILLION. SO THOSE TWO PENNIES DON'T QUITE GET YOU A 2% POINT PAY RAISE. WANT OKAY? ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE VERY BEGINNING. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO THE OVERALL TAX RATE? LOWERING BY THREE CENTS. SO IF WE'RE ASKING YOU TO LET US RAISE THIS EMMA NO RATE BY TWO. THAT MEANS WE MUST BE LOWERING THE I N S TAX RATE BY FIVE. UP TO ON THE EMMA? NO WHICH IS TIGHTLY CONSTRAINED. BY THE LEGISLATURE. LOWERING THE I N S RAIDED MY FATHER. HEY NET EFFECT OF MINUS THREE CENTS.

NOW, HOW ARE WE ABLE TO LOWER THE I N S RATE BY FIVE CENTS. WELL WE TALKED ABOUT. WE USE 20 YEAR DEBT. WENT TO YOUR BONDS FOR ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS, ALL OF OUR RENOVATIONS, ALL OF OUR LAND PURCHASES. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCHOOL DISTRICT'S USE 30 YEARS. WE SAY 56% OF THE INTEREST EXPENSE BY USING 20 YEAR BONDS RIGHT HERE, 56. THAT HAS ALLOWED US. TO ESTABLISH A DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE. WE CAN LOWER THE I N S TAX RATE BY FIVE CENTS. RIGHT, GIVING BACK TO OUR TAXPAYERS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US AT EVERY TURN.

RIGHT? UP TO ON THE EMMA. NO. DOWN FIVE ON THE IRON DEATH, A DECLINE OF AT LEAST THREE CENTS. YOU TOLD. GONNA SKIP TWO. BOMB PROGRAM. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. LET'S GET TO THE GOOD STUFF. IN 2006. WHEN FACILITIES CAME MY WAY. WITH THE HELP OF MR GREGGS SUBTLE

[00:50:01]

THAT HAS IMPROVED QUALITY THAT HAS REDUCED COST DRAMATICALLY AND THAT HAS ALLOWED US TO DO MORK PROJECTS THAN THE 2016 BOND PROGRAM. HAVE A ROOM. WAS INTENDED TO DO. WE HAVE DELIVERED EVERYTHING IN THE 2016 BOND PROGRAM, PLUS NINE ADDITIONAL CAMPUS REFRESHES.

WHAT THAT HAS DONE IS THAT HAS ALLOWED US. TO PRESENT A 2021 BOND PROGRAM. WHEREBY IF WE.

ACHIEVE THESE CAMPUSES IN A REFRESH. WE ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL BE WELL ON OUR WAY ON THE 15 YEAR ACROSS THE DISTRICT. ELEMENTARY NUMBER 22. GOING TO SHOW YOU A SLIDE IN TWO MINUTES. IT'S GONNA SHOW OUR FUTURE HOUSING INSIDE. MCKINNEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AND THAT WILL SHOW YOU WHY WE'RE REQUESTING MONEY FOR ELEMENTARY 22. MCKINNEY BOY, THERE IS ONE LAST SPOT IN MCKINNEY BOY WHERE WE CAN ADD SOME EDITION STAMPS, ET AND FINE ARTS. SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF THAT IN A MOMENT. SCOTT JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ALL OF OUR OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS OR A 1500 CAPACITY WITH A FINE ARTS EXPANSION ALREADY INCLUDED. BASICALLY WHEN I SHOW YOU THIS LINE ON DEMOGRAPHICS, YOU'LL SEE THAT AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO MEET THIS WELL. HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY. DR MEADE DANIEL. IF HE WAS STANDING HERE TODAY WOULD TELL YOU HE ABSOLUTELY. HAS SAFETY AND SECURITY HAS HIS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY EACH AND EVERY DAY. STUDENTS AND STAFF. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE DOING TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND SECURITY. ATHLETICS AND FINE ARTS REFRESH. I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE PROUDEST THINGS WHEN I TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE WITH THE OTHER. ENCOUNTERS FROM THE OTHER DISTRICTS, AND I SEE. HOW WE HAVE LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD. FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. GET TO PARTICIPATE WITHOUT FEE IN ANYTHING THEY WANT TO. THAT TO ME IS JUST ABSOLUTELY THE BIGGEST DIVIDEND PAY, OR YOU CAN IMAGINE. 34% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE LOW SOCIOECONOMIC, AND THERE IS NOT ONE BARRIER TO ENTRY FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN HIS MANY ATHLETICS AND FINE ARTS AS THEY CHOOSE. INSTRUMENTS UNIFORMS, YOU NAME IT. LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. TECHNOLOGY REFRESH. UH THIS IS ALL THE STUFF YOU DON'T SEE.

ROUTERS, SWITCHES. SERVERS CABLING THINGS LIKE THAT. ALL THE STUFF YOU DON'T SEE IN ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS. TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE OUTSOURCED TRANSPORTATION IN ITS ENTIRETY FOUR YEARS TO DURHAM, AND THEY DO A FANTASTIC JOB FOR US. THE ISSUE IS, IS THAT THE RAMONES, THE BUSSES. WHICH MEANS WE'RE PAYING A CAPITAL EXPENSE. OUT OF THE EMMA. NO SIDE OF THE HOUSE. WHICH IS VERY TIGHTLY CONSTRAINED. THIS WILL ALLOW MCKINNEY I S T WHO BEGAN OWNING THE BUSSES. STILL OUTSOURCING ALL TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS TO DURHAM. BUT USING THE I N S SIDE OF THE HOUSE TO PURCHASE THE BUS'S, THEREBY. CREATING HOPEFULLY, SOME ROOM IN THE EMMA. NO SIDE OF THE HOUSE WHERE WE'RE SO TIGHTLY CONSTRAINED. ELEMENTARY PRAY, PLAYGROUND REFRESHED. UH, THE ELECTION COMMITTEE. WHEN WE WERE PRESENTING ALL OF THE DETAILS OF WALLACE'S INFORMATION BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT WE NEEDED TO CREATE SOME ADDITIONAL UPGRADES AND EQUITY IN OUR ELEMENTARY PLAYGROUNDS. THEY WERE RIGHT. SO WE HAVE PUT THAT IN THERE. THIS 245 MILLION REPRESENTS THE BUILDING BOND BALLOT. HOUSE BILL THREE. CAME TO FRUITION IN THE 1920 SCHOOL YEAR REQUIRES

[00:55:09]

SO THIS IS THE TECHNOLOGY. ON BALLOT ITEM. SHOW YOU SOME INTERESTING PIECES. HERE IS JUST A SHORT LIST. WHAT WE DO AND OUR REFRESHES FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS. IF YOU SEE IT IT GETS REPLACED. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE THE TOUR, ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE REFRESHED IN THIS THE 2016 BOND PROGRAM. YOU LET ME KNOW. AND I WILL TAKE YOU. THEY LOOK LIKE BRAND NEW BUILDINGS. C T. THIS IS A STAND IMMERSION LAB. THISTLES IN RICHARDSON. ONDAS USING SOME PRETTY INTERESTING TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT WHERE YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE THERE. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT AD INTO OUR BOY EXPANSION ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT COULD SEE THIS AND EXPERIENCE THIS. THREE D PRINTING LABS.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS ANOTHER. UP INCOMING TECHNOLOGY PIECE. COLLABORATIVE SPACE, OBVIOUSLY FOR STEM. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR ELEMENTARY NUMBER 22. THE EXPANSION OF SCOTT JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL. LET'S JUST SKIP TO THIS PIECE OF THE PIE RIGHT HERE. GOING FORWARD. 87% OF ALL NEW HOUSING INSIDE MCKINNEY IEST THESE BOUNDARIES. WE'LL BE IN THE PRESS AND SCOTT JOHNSON ZONES 87% NO. ONE OF THE INTERESTING PIECES I GET. ASKED ALL THE TIME IS YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD IT, NO MATTER WHAT. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. EVERYBODY'S SEEN THE KEVIN COSTNER MOVIE FIELD OF DREAMS. IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME. BEGINNING. I S D DOES NOT DO THAT. WE DO NOT BUILD IT UNTIL THEY HAVE ALREADY COME. WE DO NOT ISSUE THE BONDS. WE DO NOT BEGIN WORK UNTIL THE STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY COME. THE DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE TO SUPPORT IT. OTHERWISE IF YOU BUILD A BUILDING IN ADVANCE OF THE STUDENTS. COMING TO THE DISTRICT. YOU HAVE REALLY HEARD THE EMMA NO SIDE OF THE HOUSE. ELEMENTARY 22. THIS IS A. MAP HERE OF TRINITY FALLS NOW, OBVIOUSLY THE BOUNDARY FOR ELEMENTARY 22 WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER THAN JUST THE 2020 FALLS AREA, RIGHT? BUT THIS IS JUST TO GIVE SOME REPRESENTATION OF. WHERE THE WHERE THE BUILDING WILL BE. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS INSIDE TRINITY FALLS.

PRETTY DRAMATIC. ONE OF MY PRESENTATIONS THAT SCOTT JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL, ONE OF THE TEACHERS SAID, IS THIS REALLY WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BUILD THE BUILDING? YOU'RE REALLY GONNA PUT ELEMENTARY 22 RIGHT THERE. YES, MA'AM. SHE JUST SCREAMED OUT. FRIGHTEN ME. I WAS I SAID, WHAT? WHAT? WHAT'S THE ISSUE? SHE GOES. I LIVE RIGHT HERE. SHE WAS SO EXCITED.

I SAID, WELL, YOU CHOSE. WELL, THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE SCHOOL'S GOING. SAFETY AND SECURITY. I WILL POINT OUT WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T PUT THE KEY. RIGHT NEXT TO THE LOCKED DOWN BUTTON. RIGHT? TRANSPORTATION. WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUSSES. FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS. LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR EVERY KID, NO MATTER WHAT. CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY REFRESH. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY BOND BALLOT. LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING. LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. THESE ARE THE RECENT BOND ELECTIONS IN SOME OF OUR SURROUNDING DISTRICT'S.

[01:00:10]

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING. WE DON'T MEAN. IF WE'RE ON SUCCESSFUL I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD REMOVE. WE OBVIOUSLY WOULD COME RIGHT BACK OUT AT OUR FIRST AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY IF WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. BUT I CAN TELL YOU HAS THE BEAN COUNTER I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD REMOVE. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING OUR KIDS DO NOT NEED OBVIOUSLY. YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS, AND YOU CAN SAY WELL, WE DO THIS EVERY FIVE YEARS. WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE? WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE? THEY HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT APPROACH, WHICH IS NOT BAD, BUT THEY HAVE TAKEN THE LET'S GO OUT FOR 10 OR 12. YEARS. REASON MCKINNEY I SD COMES TO YOU EVERY FIVE YEARS IS NOT BECAUSE THIS IS FINE. BUT IT DOES CREATE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO DO MAURA THAN WHAT? WE TOLD YOU. WE WERE GOING TO DO AND IF WE DON'T WHEN WE COME BACK, YOU GUYS GET TO HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE. THAT'S TRANSPARENCY. ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY READ THIS CAREFULLY.

IF YOU WOULD. HOUSE BILL THREE. SAYS. ANY TIME THERE IS A BOND ELECTION, SO WE HAVE THE BUILDING BOND BALLOT AND THE TECHNOLOGY BOND BALLAD. REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE TAX RATE. THE LAST SENTENCE ON THE AGENDA ITEM. ON THE BALLOT ITEM MUST BE IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS. THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. CAN'T THINK OF MUCH.

MORE ANTI PUBLIC EDUCATION. IN THAT WHAT ARE WE DOING TO THE TAX RATE? LOWERING BY AT LEAST THREE CENTS. WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS, YOU WILL SEE THIS SENTENCE. REQUIRED BY LAW. IT'S THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY CAREER IN PUBLIC EDUCATION WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THE LEGISLATURE IS TILTED THE PLAYING FIELD AGAINST PUBLIC ACT. I WILL TELL YOU.

YESTERDAY. IF THAT DOESN'T IF THAT ONE DIDN'T GET YOU. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TA HERE SAYING THEY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN THE D ANNEXATION PROCESS. AND THEN IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL ON THE MAY 1ST ELECTION, THEN THEY WERE RESCIND THAT ORDER. OKAY? YEAH. IN SLEEP VERY GOOD. LAST NIGHT AFTER THAT. RIGHT? WE ARE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ALL RIGHT, LOWERING THE TAX RATE.

YOU'RE THE SCHOOLS. WHERE YOU CAN VOTE AT. OBVIOUSLY IN ADDITION TO THESE CAMPUSES. ALL OF THE TRADITIONAL. CITY OF MCKINNEY LOCATIONS ARE AVAILABLE AS WELL. BUT WE DID WANT TO LIST ALL OF THESE CAMPUSES ARE AVAILABLE FOR VOTING. AND EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION KNOWN TO MAN. IS AVAILABLE ON THE MCKINNEY I S T ELECTION PAGE. AND IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY. WE HAVE THE MCKINNEY I SD BUSINESS FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY WEB PAGE. TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ANY COMMENTS ANYTHING? MISSIONS.

YOU, SIR, UM. ONE REMARK MAY BE MULTIPLE REMARKS AND ONE IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE. I VOTED FOR ALL FOUR OF THESE YESTERDAY. SO APPRECIATE IT. MY KIDS ALL WENT THROUGH M I S D

[01:05:01]

REVEALING KIND OF WHAT WE SEE APPEAR ON THAT, BUT THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. YES, SIR. I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT. IS ANOTHER AND OBVIOUSLY THIS MEETINGS. RECORDED IN TELEVISED AND. QUESTION THAT CAME UP IS WHY IS THIS PRESENTATION BEING GIVEN TO THE. KENNY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND MY RESPONSE TO THAT WOULD BE. THAT YOU KNOW, JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE, BOTH SITTING ON THIS BOARD AND MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE ON CITY COUNCIL. WHEN WE MEET WITH COMPANIES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN COMING TO MCKINNEY. QUITE FRANKLY, COMING TO COLLIN COUNTY BACK WHEN. WE SAW THE INFLUX, EVEN IN PLANO, WITH CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT THERE. AND TOYOTA PEOPLE LOOKING FOR PLACES WHERE WE'RE GONNA LIVE. THE EXECUTIVES WITH TOYOTA. LOT OF THEM ARE LIVING HERE, KENNY.

YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT WORKING ON MCKINNEY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CONSTANTLY HEAR IS THAT THEY NOT ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE BUSINESS CLIMATE IS, BUT THEY WANT TO KNOW. WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS LIKE SO THAT THEY AND CHOOSE. WHETHER TO ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOL VERSUS PUBLIC SCHOOL IS SUPPOSED TO HAVING TO ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY FEEL THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS NOT UP TO PAR, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE ALWAYS WERE ABLE TO. IN MY PREVIOUS SERVICE TALENT THAT MAYA STEVE PROVIDED. SUPERIOR LEVEL OF EDUCATION FOR THE KIDS THAT. WOULD BE HERE WITH THEIR PARENTS THAT ARE GOING TOE WORK IN THOSE CORPORATIONS. AND SO YOU KNOW THE THING THAT. VIEW FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT. IS THAT WHERE WE DON'T OPERATE IN ASYLUM? YOU KNOW, WE. ATTRACT BUSINESS OR GOALS ATTRACT HIS BUSINESS SPRING COMMERCIAL TAX BASE TO THIS COMMUNITY AND PART OF THAT BRINGING COMMERCIAL TAX BASE INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFIT OF. WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO PUT THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOL WHERE THEY GOING TO HAVE? WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE THERE GONNA HAVE OUTSIDE OF WORK IF YOU DON'T WORK 24 HOURS A DAY, AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE DON'T. S O. I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY.

MY ONLY COMMENT IS TO EXPRESS WHY I FELT IT WAS WORTHWHILE TO HAVE THIS PRESENTATION HERE SO THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THERE IS, SAY INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. AND NOT JUST THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING TAX BASE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE ICE TEA TAX BASE IN THE CITY TAX BASE. AFFECTED DIFFERENTLY, BUT MORE THAT IN A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ABILITY TO DRAW IN MAJOR CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT MADE LIGHT AND DUST OR WHATEVER IT IS TIED TO. THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE IF THEY COME HERE, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JASON I JUST HAVE AH, OBSERVATION. I THINK YOU MADE THIS PRESENTATION ON THE ACE PORTION TO THE CHAMBER ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I SAW IT. I REALLY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN, AND. HEARING THE COMPLEX PRESENTATION AND WHILE YOU WERE TALKING OUT, WAS LOOKING AT THAT. ESTI WEBSITE TO TRY AND SEE THE INFORMATION. AND I GUESS ULTIMATELY WE'RE ALL POTENTIALLY INFLUENCERS OF PEOPLE WE KNOW. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT COULD SIMPLIFY IT TO THE BOTTOM LINE IN 30 WORDS AND MAYBE A FEW NUMBERS AS WELL AS ALL OF THE BALLOTS, BUT. UM, SPECIFICALLY THAT ONE. MAY, I THINK, EXPECTING PEOPLE TO TAKE 30 MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO VOTE ON ONE BALLOT ITEM IS NOT REALLY GOING TO BE SOMETHING I CAN. INFLUENCE PEOPLE IF YOU
