But who\u2019s counting?<\/p>\n<p>The end of the year is fast approaching, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aisd.net\/district\/board\/\">好色先生TV Board of Trustees<\/a> held its final meeting of 2024 last night, Thursday, Dec. 12. There was a lot on the agenda, and here are a few of the highlights.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, thank you to Hannah Nyakenyanya, a fifth grader from Fitzgerald Elementary. She started our meeting by leading us in the pledge of allegiance, and she did a great job.<\/p>\n<p>And thanks to the Bowie High School Volunteer Voices for bringing some Christmas spirit to the meeting. The varsity a cappella group \u2013 conducted by Jermaine Lobaugh and Adam Thomas \u2013 performed &#8220;Little Saint Nick,&#8221; which was arranged by one of their own singers, Brandon Cole.<\/p>\n<p>The student of the month for December comes from Bowie, too. Congratulations to Taina Nieves, who is part of the P-TECH program. Nieves is involved in a lot of things, from soccer to AVID, and a whole lot more. Plus, she helps lead the Strather Peace Project on campus, volunteering her time during pep rallies and lunch to spread information about conflict resolution and the importance of keeping peace across the campus.\u00a0Her efforts are making a real difference. Thank you, Taina!<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, 好色先生TV has amazing students, and the board wants to make sure they all have the best possible educational experience. That\u2019s why the district conducted annual student surveys with all sixth, eighth, 10<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> grade students. The board received a report at the meeting about the survey that was conducted in the spring earlier this year. The board and administration can use the results and insight offered by the survey to help them better serve students.<\/p>\n<p>The trustees also received an update on planning for the academic calendar for the 2025-2026 school year. A 24-member committee is working to draft an academic-focused calendar that prioritizes and maximizes professional learning opportunities throughout the school year and prioritizes staff well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there was a financial report, too. 好色先生TV CFO Darla Moss gave a routine financial update with the current budget status, recent expenditures and updates on key financials. The board also approved the monthly financial report later in the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>One more quick update before this Board Brief concludes. The board approved Hilltop Securities to serve as the financial advisor for the next sale of bonds in the 2019 Bond program. And speaking of the bond, Batson Cook Construction was approved as the general contractor for renovations at Amos and Goodman elementary schools. Look for those projects to start in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Those are just a few of the highlights from this meeting.
