Can you share the facts about this claim? Or perhaps show the math in a simple arithmetic problem?]]> 2023-10-11 23:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742568751 https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742569419 How might bond passage and social-emotional aspects of learning correlate?

How many currently enrolled students in Joshua ISD students are approved in each CTE category? Non-approved? Level 1 and 2? Level 3 and 4? Can you explain how much funding Joshua ISD receives for each student that is enrolled in a non-approved and approved CTE program? I believe it is the Basic Allotment multiplied by the following:
1.1 for a NON-APPROVED program
1.2 for Level 1 and level 2 program 
1.47 for Level 3 and level 4 program 
Is this correct? Considering an ISD can receives up to 47% more funding per child enrolled in CTE why should the taxpayers ALSO need to pass a BOND with CTE stuff in it? Is it to entice children to enroll in CTE? Education Code Section 48.106 states that ONLY 55% of additional CTE funds must be used for CTE in grades 7-12. What amount does JISD spend and if not 100%, where does the remainder of the money go? ]]> 2023-10-11 23:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742579032 https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742579285 How many students have used their CTE training in the work force after high school graduation?

Should the districts tax base be concerned with the District being basically "house poor" insomuch as future teacher pay increases become impassable? What are the district's short term/long term plan to make sure Joshua has the capacity via property taxes to pay teachers competively?]]> 2023-10-12 00:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742597840 https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742599084 David Elder - To be clear the tax RATE isn’t going up but actually down from where we currently sit? If my overall tax BILL goes up it would be because of appraisal, upgrades and etc which the ISD has no control over, correct? So if my appraisal amount doesn’t change my tax BILL would be lower because the tax RATE is lower? ]]> 2023-10-12 00:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742599084 https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742609895 It has been mentioned that portables are an option if the bond fails. In the past few years safety requirements have changed for public education. Can you touch on the challenges, if any that would come with making a portable building up to date with the new safety requirements? ]]> 2023-10-12 00:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742609895 https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742611646 When discussing price of each portable, does that cost include plumbing, electric, etc?

Wouldn’t that leave empty rooms in the existing schools? What will happen to those empty rooms?]]> 2023-10-12 00:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hamptonj10/ytpcmmirq1p7emt7/wish/2742644338
