Thank you. That brings it down to board committee reports. I'll start with the Finance Committee and ask them what happened in their meeting, in their most recent meeting.
Thank you. Any questions? Seeing none, I'll ask the Equity and Performance Committee what was discussed in their meeting, most recent meeting.
Thank you very much Trustee Schmidt. And that will bring us down to the information section of our agenda. I'll turn it over to Superintendent Parks for her superintendent update.
All right. Thank you very much, Superintendent Perks.
If there's no questions, that'll bring us down to 10.2, Fall 2026 Student Achievement Annual Report, M-STEP, PSAT 8, and SAT. And I'll turn it over to Superintendent Perks to introduce her team.
So I've been on this board for about three years now, and as everyone said, we haven't seen any real change. And I thank you all for all of the work that you've done and all the tracking that you're doing and all the changes you're trying to make. What I can say is that as a black boy in K-8, I did not, fully engaged in the learning process until I had teachers who poured into me, who connected with me, or unless I had material that related to me and that I could connect with. I don't know if we're doing anything on that level in this district at this time, but that's how I succeeded. And I…
We appreciate it. We appreciate your presentation. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much. I believe that brings us down to our first briefing for the CTE program lease agreement. I'll turn it over to Superintendent Parks.
Is this a house or a building in a trailer or is it?
When you say approved by the county, you mean approved by the WISD?
All right. Vice President Wilkes. Yeah, thank you.

Would anyone like to remove an item from the consent agenda? Do I have a motion?

Thank you. That brings us down to board action. Approve MASB voting delegates and alternates. Is there a motion?
Any item for agenda planning, trustees? Trustee Schmidt?
I'm interested. So I don't know what you mean by what's happening in that space.
So I guess the question is, take action on it, is what you're asking us to discuss?
They said it was a great program. They've got state recognition and all that kind of stuff, so I guess we have to get an update and see if we want to take any action on it.
Okay, anything else? Seeing none, I believe that brings us to items from the board. Do trustees have anything they would like to share? Sure.
Not a bad idea, but trust me, you're not leaving the district, are you? You'll still be around, right?
All right. If there's nothing further, that brings us down to adjournment. Do I have a motion to adjourn by voice vote? So moved. Moved by Vice President Wilkes. Is there support? Support. Support by Trustee Baskett. All in favor to adjourn, say aye.
It was moved and supported. Do I need to vote on that, I think, and then do it, or no? No, okay. All right. All in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, say nay. We are adjourned at 9.41 p.m.
