25 Nutall Will you please provide me the number of monitors at Skyline High School? 9/16/2013 Complete
In the most recent packet of info about district performance, we got some data indicating that
teacher vacancies were 337 on 8/26, and are slightly lower now. However, when I go to the
district’s job postings, I count somewhere in the ballpark of 504 current openings. One thing I
noticed in that list of openings is that it includes positions that aren’t really classroom teachers.
I saw a few Clerk positions, Parking Lot Attendant, etc. I’m guessing the analysis factored that
26 Morath 9/16/2013 Complete
out. I also saw Instructional Coach positions, which aren’t really classroom teachers either. So,
within the web site’s “Teaching Openings for the 2013‐2014 School Year” section, are there
200+ non‐teaching positions listed? Are some of the listed positions actually for our permanent
substitute pool, but just aren’t listed that way? Or did the data set run before have a filter that
missed some counts?
27 Nutall Please provide me an update on the Lincoln High School Culinary Program. 9/17/2013 Complete
I was at Sanger last week, and the Principal indicated that the school was in need of more space,
preferably a wing. My guess was that a new wing was probably not feasible at this time. He then
28 Micciche 9/17/2013 Complete
asked about whether a few more portables might be available. I told him that I would pass this
information along to you. Please advise. Thank you.
I’m trying to find data in my files, and can’t seem to find it. The data point in particular: how
many teachers left the district in a given school year (this past year, say: July 1, 2012‐ June 30,
29 Morath 9/17/2013 Complete
2013, and the year prior for comparison; and if available, departures since July 1, 2013). Do you
have that readily available?

A teacher in DISD for 31 years and have been a substitute teacher since retiring in 2003. I don't
often have the required 25 substitute days by April 1 each year due to other commitments, so I
have had to go through the whole process of re‐applying to be a substitute and the substitute
"training" several times. This year I had to complete an on‐line form (which states it will take 30‐
60 min. to complete) that anyone and everyone applying for a job in DISD must fill out. I turned
32 Micciche 9/19/2013 Complete
in that application on July 30 at 11:56 am. I received an email from that office stating I would be
contacted when my application was accepted. I have not had any contact from the sub office
since and have had to turn down 5 sub jobs, because at this time I am not employed by DISD. I
am a bit baffled by this delay, especially when the district needs good subs. Do you know what
the hold‐up is?
A parent called in to say her twins plus 15 or more other Gaston Middle School students no
33 Micciche longer have bus service. The students have been carpooling with parents, walking, and running 9/19/2013 Complete
across a freeway to get to school.
Stonewall Jackson Elementary is being considered as a finalist for a solar panel grant from the
Green Mountain Energy Sun Club. Our proposal is to use solar energy to provide heated water
34 Morath and electricity to our science lab portable. Due to the fact that the value of this grant exceeds 9/25/2013 complete
$10,000 in equipment and installation, we are requesting that this proposal be placed on the
October agenda for consideration and vote.
Mr. Micciche – Last Thursday, you forwarded an email from a teacher (Diane Birdwell) who
needed access to one of our databases. I wanted to follow up with you to let you know that it is
35 Micciche my understanding that the teacher now has the access needed. The Eduphoria service is from 9/26/2013 Complete
the Region 10 Education Service Center and our staff works through them to add staff members
who need access.
36 Nutall I am requesting an update on Burleson E.S. 9/30/2013 Complete
After a recent leveling meeting, Stonewall Jackson Elementary learned that its two teacher
assistants (marked as ESL and Special Needs) are being pulled. If this happens, then Stonewall
will be left with only one duty‐free assistant. We need your help to ensure these positions are
37 Morath 10/1/2013 Open
not taken away from our school. These assistants currently provide safety for our students in
the lunchroom, halls and playground. These assistants help with instruction in the classroom. In

Over the last several weeks, I have received different requests from a variety of sources
regarding looking at various boundary issues. A brief summary of the different issues that have
been raised is described below. I realize that you are already actively looking into these issues
and working with ED Anita Hardwick (thank you), but wanted to make sure that we have a way
39 Jones 10/7/2013 Open
to collectively communicate what is being done and proposed. It would be great if these items
can formally be added to this year's Boundary committee work for review and evaluation, and
also if I can be briefed on each situation so that I may be able to directly respond to the
questions posed from constituents and also to the public officials for those jurisdictions.
Please provide me projected and actual enrollment for all District 9 schools (elementary, middle
40 Nutall 10/8/2013 Complete
and high school) for 2012‐2013 and 2013‐2014.
41 Nutall Please provide me a copy of the current 2013‐2014 District Improvement Plan. 10/8/2013 Complete
Wanda, would you please advise on this? Thanks. Dan,
I emailed you early on after school started this year about the pick up and drop off of school
42 Micciche kids by contracted drivers that takes place in front of private residences. Parents/kids walk dog, 10/10/2013 complete
allow it on lawns, kids sometimes in yards, etc. I know you referred that to a lady at DISD to
handle but it has not been done. I live at 2611 Millmar.
Burleson ‐ IMike, I wanted to follow up on my phone call to you this morning. As I indicated,
there appears to be significant racial tension brewing regarding matters at the Burleson
elementary campus. I have received numerous calls from concerned parents, teachers and
community members about the situation.I understand that there have been some allegations
lodged by one demographic of the school’s community against the current principal. I also
understand Mr. Martinez, acting as one of the community’s representatives, desires to ensure
that the interests of his community are properly addressed. As Mr. Martinez has articulated to
me, he will continue to utilize his access to the administration to advocate for his community,
and that is perfectly understandable. However, other community members believe that their
concerns are not being properly addressed and that they are not being given the same level of
access. In essence, they believe that the ability to have a fair and consistent process is not
43 Nutall 10/10/2013 complete
possible. Of particular concern is the revelation in previous emails by Mr. Martinez to the
administration, that appear to indicate that he has issues with principals that work with African
Americans, or “AA” as noted in the correspondence. They take this to mean that he would also
have issues with African American principals in general. That’s not my call to make. However, as
Trustee for Burleson elementary, I do want to make sure that every demographic of our
communities, and the entire district, is granted equal and fair access to the administration and
that the administration is responsive to all concerns of all communities. I want to be sure that
you understand that this isn’t about the pet term patronage, but rather about a system that
doesn’t appear to be fair and consistent. Considering that you have already reached out to
Trustee Blackburn regarding this matter, I am requesting a meeting between Dr. Blackburn, you
and myself to occur as quickly as possible.
44 Micciche Would you please send me a blank copy of the standard climate survey or surveys. 10/10/2013 Complete
I am requesting a copy of all concerns and issues presented by community members, parents,
45 Blackburn teachers, staff, and others concerning Burleson ES. Let me know when I can expect to receive 10/11/2013 Open
this information.
Thank you for informing me of the incident. However, I have a couple of questions. When and
where did the “relations” occur? Did the “relations” happen doing instructional hours? What
46 Nutall process was followed to notify parents/guardian of the “relations” and arrest? Has the 10/11/2013 Complete
“relations” been removed from YouTube? If the arrest happen doing the school day, what
procedures, policies, and processes were used to remove the students from class and school?
I have received several calls from parents and community members regarding two incidents at
Billy E. Dade Middle School in the last two days (mace used on a student and drug use resulting
in two young boys taken to Children’s Medical Center).
47 Nutall 10/17/2013 Complete
Also, I am very concern, about the lack of communication, regarding such serious matters.
Please provide details and updates on the students’ well‐being surrounding these two very
serious incidents.
Please add complete email to tracker.

In our board packet this week, we received a letter from the Tarrant County Judge that included
a rate comparison between P3’s new rate and DISD’s new rate. I have attached it to this email
for your reference.
I’ve made the assumption that the letter quoted a gross rate, exclusive of fees, and not a net
rate factoring everything that is paid. I’m wondering if you have a more detailed analysis that
49 Morath 10/21/2013 Complete
includes all the other fees, so we have an apples‐to‐apples picture of whether our private
procurement under‐ or over‐performed the P3 option. If you have, would you mind distributing
it to the Trustees. If you have not, would you be willing to compile that and transmit it to
Trustees when it’s completed? Assuming Dallas ISD’s net rate, based on your analysis factoring
all costs, is actually higher than P3’s, I think it would also be wise to explore our options here,
too
