Roxanne Arcos, Strong Foundations grant manager, summarized the framework's vision: \"to maximize literacy development within an equitable learning environment, empowering students to become resilient thinkers, confident readers, effective writers, and skilled communicators equipped to achieve their future college and career goals.\" She told trustees the framework organizes expectations for curriculum, instructional strategies and assessment and is grounded in research-based instructional strategies known internally as the RBs.

Arcos said the district convened two committees—including district leaders, curriculum specialists, campus administrators and teachers—to develop the framework during the fall semester. The framework comprises four belief statements corresponding to the RBs: (1) explicit and systematic foundational skills instruction; (2) grade-level complex texts for all students; (3) knowledge and vocabulary development through diverse texts; and (4) evidence-based listening, reading, writing and speaking across texts.

District staff reported that teachers and administrators have already received training in RBs 1 and 2, with RBs 3 and 4 scheduled for spring. The district plans a communication and rollout strategy that will include parent information nights and short, targeted trainings so families understand classroom expectations and can support learning at home. Miss Casey, the district's assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said the next curriculum framework to be developed under the Strong Foundations grant will be math and that work is planned for the coming school year.

Trustees asked about family engagement and whether the framework adds new requirements for teachers. Presenters said the framework is meant to clarify and align existing expectations rather than add extra instructional tasks; they emphasized training, cross-curricular application and supporting families with brief, practical guidance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Information Services's Personal Meeting Room","oneSentenceSummary","District staff presented the Strong Foundations literacy instructional framework, which Harlandale submitted to the Texas Education Agency in December.

District leaders said the savings, combined with funds freed by repurposing a planned Career and Technical Education building, created capacity to move forward with construction of a multipurpose arena to replace the Shea Center. Staff reported an estimated construction cost of $18,300,000 for the arena; available savings from repurposing the CTE funding were reported at about $15,000,000.

Trustees were shown that the lighting, ROTC and CTE projects were completed or near completion and that most final costs were below original estimates. The district noted a short permitting delay on the lighting project but said the campuses are using the completed work. Project mobilization at the Shea Center—construction fencing and trailers—was visible on site, and staff said demolition was anticipated to begin by the end of the month or in early February.

On costs and risk, staff told trustees the current arena construction contract includes a $500,000 contingency and several allowances to address outstanding city requirements such as permitting, traffic lane changes and potential fire-suppression adjustments. District officials said the construction budget is contractually set and that any material changes to the contract or budget would be returned to the board for approval. Trustees asked about price escalation and contingency; staff said architects and the general contractor monitor costs and that any required contract adjustments will appear before the board.

Staff also noted forthcoming items for board consideration related to Bond 2022, including final payments to design and construction consultants and material-observation agreements for upcoming athletic-field and track projects. No formal board votes on new Bond 2022 expenditures were recorded during the update; staff said specific contract awards and final payments will be on the agenda for the next board meeting.","District staff told trustees several Bond 2022 projects finished under budget with combined savings of about $2.4 million; repurposed funds freed $15 million that will help pay an estimated $18.3 million multipurpose arena.

The coaches described a landscape analysis using classroom observations and district data, a performance-management structure and short, five-minute classroom walks focused on math and reading. Dr. Chris Galloway said the effort emphasizes systems thinking: \"everything that happens in the boardroom will trickle down to the classroom.\" He also told trustees the pilot is grant-funded: \"It's a grant. So there is no cost.\"

The nut of the TSL approach, the coaches said, is to move beyond a one-off strategic plan toward continuous implementation across six research-based levers, including planning and performance management, instructional experience, integrated student supports, instructional capacity, talent systems and finance and operations. The coaches said the pilot will pair Harlandale's existing strategic plan with a targeted operational plan and executive coaching over the pilot period.

Practically, Region 20 will conduct a landscape analysis that includes 5-minute, non-evaluative classroom walks; coaches stressed the walks will focus on the student experience, not teacher evaluation, and teachers will be notified in advance. Dr. Jeff Price described the walk protocol as short, grade- and subject-specific snapshots that generate district-level trend data rather than immediate teacher feedback.

Trustees were told the timeline begins in the spring, with a superintendent performance-management committee (a steering group of district leaders and goal champions) and the possibility of classroom walks before the end of the month. The coaches said the pilot is currently scheduled for two years; they noted a legislative funding decision in March could extend the program beyond that period.

Board and staff members asked about costs, scope and whether TSL would create extra work for teachers. The presenters said the work is intended to clarify and align existing initiatives rather than add redundant requirements. Region 20 representatives said participating districts typically receive consulting services that would cost roughly $60,000 to $80,000 if purchased on the open market; Harlandale is participating in the pilot at no charge.

The presentation closed with next steps: convene the superintendent performance-management committee, finalize the landscape analysis approach and schedule the initial classroom walks and coaching sessions.","Region 20 coaches presented a two-year Texas Strategic Leadership (TSL) pilot to the Harlandale ISD board, describing a data-driven landscape analysis, five-minute classroom walks focused on math and reading, executive coaching and a performance-management committee.
