Acceptable Use Guidelines Port Neches-Groves ISD (PNGISD) offers technological opportunities to students, staff, and administrators to promote educational excellence in the schools by facilitating safe and effective resource sharing, innovation, and communication through the Internet and other electronic information systems. The use of the information system is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in cancellation of the privilege. The system administrators (operating under the aegis of the Board of Trustees and District Administration) will decide what appropriate use is and may deny, revoke, or suspend specific user accounts at any time for any reason. The Port Neches-Groves ISD network has been established for a limited educational purpose. The term “educational purpose” denotes classroom activities. The use of accounts must be in support of educational and/or research and consistent with the educational objectives of PN-GISD. The following rules are representative (but not inclusive) of how the PNGISD network, including the Internet, is to be used by teachers, employees, and students. The Port Neches-Groves ISD Network has not been established as a public access service or a public forum. Port Neches-Groves ISD has the right to place reasonable restrictions on the material accessed or posted through the system. Users are expected and required to follow the rules set forth in either the PNGISD Student Code of Conduct, the PNGISD Employee Handbook, PNGISD Administrative Procedures, School Board Policy, or the law when using the PNGISD Network.

directions concerning use of any personal device in the classroom, including a request to shut down the device or close the screen.

Inappropriate Use The following uses of the Port Neches-Groves ISD Network are considered unacceptable: • Commercial activities are generally not acceptable • Political lobbying • Public “chat rooms” • Product advertisement • Transmission of any material in violation of any US or state regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not

limited to: copyrighted material, threatening or obscene material, or material protected by trade secret. (A guiding factor in defining what is obscene may be what is appropriate in a school library setting: libraries can provide further information and, the most commonsense policy is, “when in doubt, don’t”.)

• Sending of “Chain Letters” or “broadcast messages” (spamming) to lists or individuals, and any other types of use which would cause congestion of the networks or otherwise interfere with the work of others is prohibited.

Inappropriate use may result in cancellation of the privilege. Certain state, local, and federal statutes may apply to the electronic communications system and inappropriate uses may also be unlawful. Unlawful use of district electronic resources will be referred to proper authorities. District authorities may also initiate other disciplinary actions. Personal Safety--Students • Students will not post personal contact information about themselves or other people. Personal contact

information includes home address, telephone, cell phone number, school address, work address. The student must notify his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) and system administrator immediately if any individual is trying to contact him or her for illicit or suspicious activities.

• Students will not agree to meet with someone met online without written parent approval. • Students will promptly disclose to the teacher or other appropriate school employee any message received that

is inappropriate or that makes them feel uncomfortable. Inappropriate Access to Material • If a student mistakenly accesses inappropriate information or a site with information that does not have an

educational or research purpose, he or she is to exit from the site immediately and inform the teacher. • Parents should instruct their children if there is material that they think would be inappropriate for their children

to access. The district fully expects that all students will follow parents’ instructions in this matter. • If an employee mistakenly accesses inappropriate information or a site with information that does not have an

educational or research purpose, he or she is to exit from the site immediately and inform their immediate supervisor. This will protect you against a claim that you have intentionally violated this Policy.

System Security Security on any computer system is a high priority, especially when the system involves many users. If you or a student feels you can identify a security problem on the Internet, a building or system administrator must be notified. Do not permit the problem to be demonstrated to other users. The following is considered inappropriate use of the network:

• Do not share your user accounts or passwords with anyone. You are responsible for your individual accounts

and should take all reasonable precautions to prevent others from being able to use those individual accounts. • Do not leave an account open or unattended • Change passwords regularly to maintain security and confidentiality • Users will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the PNGISD network or to any other computer system

through the PNGISD network, or to go beyond authorized access. This includes attempting to log in through

23


another person’s account or to access another person’s files. These actions are illegal, even if done only for the purpose of “browsing”.

• Forgery or attempted forgery of email messages and/or data is prohibited. Do not attempt to read, delete, copy, or modify the email and/or data of another network user.

• Users will not make deliberate attempts to disrupt the computer system or to destroy data by spreading computer viruses or by any other means. These actions are illegal.

• Attempts to logon to the Internet as a system administrator or to perform system administrator tasks may result in cancellation of user privileges.

• Anyone illegally obtaining and using access to other computer systems may be the focus of state or federal investigation and prosecution. Applicable state statutes include Section 16.04 Unlawful Access to Stored Communications and Section 33.03 Breach of Computer Security.

• If unacceptable or illegal activities take place using a district account, then he or she will be held responsible, regardless of whether he or she personally took the actions, which may result in loss of access to the Internet or other disciplinary actions.

• Users must respect the privacy of others. Users shall not intentionally obtain copies of or modify files or data that belongs to anyone else without permission from the owner of the files/data. Users shall not distribute files or data that belongs to someone else without permission from the owner of the files/data.

Network and E-mail Etiquette You are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of network etiquette which include, but are not limited to: • Be polite—abusive or demeaning communications are prohibited. • Use appropriate language. Swearing, vulgarity, ethnic or racial slurs as well as other inflammatory language is

prohibited. • Viewing or transmitting obscene messages or pictures is prohibited. • Do not use the network in such a way as to disrupt the use of the network by other users. • Do not repost a message that was sent to you privately without permission of the person who sent it. • You will not post private information about another person. • Illegal activities are strictly forbidden. • Be polite and professional

Monitored Use: Electronic mail (e-mail) transmissions or other use of the electronic communications system by students and employees shall not be considered confidential and will be monitored by designated District staff to ensure appropriate use for educational or administrative purposes. This monitoring may include activity logging, virus scanning, and content scanning. The PNGISD network and Internet services are not private. Data and/or users may be monitored by the PNGISD Technology Department and/or PNGISD administrators at any time to ensure proper use. As required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the district maintains a filtering system that blocks access to information considered obscene, pornographic, inappropriate for students or harmful to minors as defined by the federal CIPA guidelines. Although Internet access is filtered, it is possible that users may run across areas of material that might be found objectionable. PNGISD makes every effort to educate and guide all PNGISD network users in the proper use of the Internet including education of educators and minors about appropriate online behavior including social networking websites, chat rooms, and cyberbullying through district-provided curriculum resources; however, it is impossible to control all materials on the global network. Therefore, it is imperative that he user be held accountable for the appropriate use of the technology. Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement • Do not plagiarize works that you find on the Internet. Plagiarism is taking the ideas or writings of others and

past due interest, and notice of the date of payment and the Special Record Date shall be sent by

United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, not later than 5 days prior to the Special Record

extent of the sums paid.

Amounts held by the Registrar which represent principal of, premium, if any, or interest on

the Bonds remaining unclaimed by the Owner after the expiration of three years from the date such

amounts have become due and payable shall be reported and disposed of by the Registrar in

accordance with the provisions of Texas law, including to the extent applicable, Title 6 of the Texas

reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration and

transfer of Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Order.

Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the

principal corporate trust office of the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by an

authorized to authenticate and deliver exchange Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this

Section 12. Each Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 12 shall be entitled to the benefits

and security of this Order to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such Bond is

delivered.

The District or the Registrar may require the Owner of any Bond to pay a sum sufficient to

cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or

exchange of such Bond. Any fee or charge of the Registrar for such transfer or exchange shall be

paid by the District.

13. Mutilated, Lost or Stolen Bonds. Upon the presentation and surrender to the

Registrar of a mutilated Bond, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a

replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not

District, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of notice or

knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall authorize and the

Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and

principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

74

wrongfully taken Bond, before any replacement Bond is issued, to:

(1) furnish to the District and the Registrar satisfactory evidence of the

ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Bond;

(2) furnish such security or indemnity as may be required by the Registrar and

the District to save them harmless;

limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or other governmental

charge that may be imposed; and

(4) meet any other reasonable requirements of the District and the

Registrar.

If, after the delivery of such replacement Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in lieu of

which such replacement Bond was issued presents for payment such original Bond, the District and

the Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Bond from the person to whom it was

delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to

recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or

expense incurred by the District or the Registrar in connection therewith.

If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has become or is

about to become due and payable, the District in its discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement

Bond, authorize the Registrar to pay such Bond.

Each replacement Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 13 shall be entitled to the

benefits and security of this Order to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such

replacement Bond is delivered.

14. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds paid in accordance with this Order, and all Bonds

in lieu of which exchange Bonds or replacement Bonds are authenticated and delivered in

accordance herewith, shall be cancelled and destroyed upon the making of proper records regarding

such payment, exchange or replacement. The Registrar shall furnish the District with appropriate

certificates of destruction of such Bonds.

as nominee of DTC, and except as otherwise provided in this Section, all of the outstanding Bonds

75

-11-

shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The definitive Bonds shall be

initially issued in the form of a single separate certificate for each of the maturities thereof. The

following provisions shall take effect with respect to the Bonds.

With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the

District and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any

person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting

the immediately preceding sentence, the District and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or

obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC

Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC

Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Bond, as shown on the Register, of any

notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any

DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Bond, as shown in the Register, of

any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding

any other provision of this Order to the contrary, the District and the Registrar shall be entitled to

treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Register as the absolute

Owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on

the Bonds, for the purpose of all matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering

transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Registrar shall pay

all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the

respective Owners, as shown in the Register as provided in this Order, or their respective attorneys

duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and

discharge the District's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and

interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner as

shown in the Register, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the District to

make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Order. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of

written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede

& Co., the word "Cede & Co." in this Order shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

In the event that the District or the Registrar determines that DTC is incapable of

discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Letter of Representations of the District

to DTC, and that it is in the best interest of the beneficial Owners of the Bonds that they be able to

obtain certificated Bonds, or if DTC Participants owning at least 50% of the Bonds outstanding

based on current records of the DTC determine that continuation of the system of book-entry

transfers through the DTC (or a successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of the

beneficial Owners of the Bonds, or in the event DTC discontinues the services described herein, the

District or the Registrar shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such

under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and notify DTC of

the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Bonds to

such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC Participants of the availability through DTC

of Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited to

their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the

Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the

successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names bondholders

transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

76

-12-

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Order to the contrary, so long as any Bonds are

registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal

of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and all notices with respect to the Bonds, shall be

made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations from the

District to DTC.

16. Optional and Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Current Interest Bonds. The District reserves the right to redeem those

Current Interest Bonds maturing on or after February 15, 2024 prior to maturity, in whole or from

time to time in part, on February 15, 2023, or on any date thereafter, at a price of par plus accrued

interest on the amount called for redemption to the date fixed for redemption. If less than all of the

Current Interest Bonds are redeemed, the particular maturities of the Current Interest Bonds or

portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by the District. If less than all of the Current

Interest Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the Registrar (or DTC while the Current Interest

Bonds are in book-entry-only form) shall determine by lot the Current Interest Bonds, or portions

thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed.

Principal amounts may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. If a Current

Interest Bond subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such

Current Interest Bond may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. Upon surrender

of any Current Interest Bond for redemption in part, the Registrar, in accordance with Section 12

hereof, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a Current Interest Bond or Current

Interest Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal to the

unredeemed portion of the Current Interest Bond so surrendered.

Notice of any redemption identifying the Current Interest Bonds to be redeemed in whole or

in part shall be given by the Registrar at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by

sending written notice by first class mail to the Owner of each Current Interest Bond to be

redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the Register. Such notice shall state the

redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which Current Interest Bonds are to be

surrendered for payment and, if less than all Current Interest Bonds outstanding are to be redeemed,

the number of the Current Interest Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. Any notice given as

provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the

Owner receives such notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due provisions shall be made with

the Registrar for payment of the redemption price of the Current Interest Bonds or portions thereof

to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. When Current Interest

Bonds have been called for redemption in whole or in part and due provision has been made to

redeem the same as herein provided, the Current Interest Bonds or portions thereof so redeemed

shall no longer be regarded as outstanding except for the purpose of receiving payment solely from

the funds so provided for redemption, and the rights of the Owners to collect interest which would

otherwise accrue after their redemption date on any Current Interest Bond or portion thereof called

for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for redemption.

77

-13-

(b) Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds. The Premium Capital Appreciation

Bonds will not be subject to redemption prior to maturity.

(c) Book-Entry-Only System. The Registrar and the District, so long as a Book-

Entry-Only System is used for the Bonds, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed

amendment to this Order or other notices with respect to the Bonds only to DTC. Any failure of

DTC to advise any DTC Participant, or of any DTC Participant to notify the beneficial owner, shall

not affect the validity of the redemption of the Bonds called for redemption or any other action

premised on such notice. Redemption of portions of the Bonds by the District will reduce the

outstanding principal amount of such Bonds held by DTC.

17. Forms.

(a) Current Interest Bonds. The Current Interest Bonds shall be in

substantially the form set forth below, including the form of Registrar's Certificate of

Authentication, the form of Assignment, the form of Registration Certificate of the Comptroller of

18. Legal Opinion; CUSIP. The approving opinion of Creighton, Fox, Johnson &

Mills, PLLC, Beaumont, Texas, Bond Counsel, and CUSIP Numbers may be printed on the Bonds,

but errors or omissions in the printing of either such opinion or such numbers shall have no effect

on the validity of the Bonds.

19. Debt Service Fund; Tax Levy. A special fund to be designated "Port Neches-

Groves Independent School District Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2014, Debt Service

Fund" is hereby created, and the proceeds from all taxes levied, assessed and collected for and on

account of the Bonds authorized by this Order shall be deposited, as collected, in such fund. While

the Bonds or any part of the principal or Maturity Amount thereof or interest thereon remain

outstanding and unpaid, there is hereby levied and there shall be annually assessed and collected in

due time, form and manner, and at the same time as other District taxes are assessed, levied and

collected, in each year, beginning with the current year, a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax,

without legal limitation as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property in the District, sufficient to

pay the interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due and to pay each installment of the principal

or Maturity Amount of the Bonds as the same matures, full allowance being made for delinquencies

and costs of collection, and said taxes are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the interest

on and principal of the Bonds and to no other purpose. To pay the interest and principal coming

due on the Bonds on February 15, 2014 and August 15, 2014, there is hereby appropriated from

current funds on hand, which are certified to be on hand and available for such purpose, an amount

sufficient to pay such interest, and such amount shall be used for no other purpose.

The District hereby covenants to deposit into the Debt Service Fund all instructional

facilities allotment (“Tier 3”) funds received by the District, as provided in and in accordance with

the requirements of Chapter 46 of the Texas Education Code. The District further covenants that it

shall take into account the resulting balance in the Debt Service Fund after making the deposit of

the Tier 3 Funds when the District sets the tax rate required to pay the debt service on the Bonds.

20. Further Proceedings. After the Bonds to be initially issued have been executed, it

shall be the duty of the President of the Board of the District to deliver the Bonds to be initially

issued and all pertinent records and proceedings to the Attorney General of the State of Texas, for

88

-24-

examination and approval by the Attorney General. After the Bonds to be initially issued have been

approved by the Attorney General, they shall be delivered to the Comptroller of Public Accounts of

the State of Texas for registration. Upon registration of the Bonds to be initially issued, the

Comptroller of Public Accounts (or the Comptroller's bond clerk or an assistant bond clerk lawfully

designated in writing to act for the Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration

Certificate prescribed herein and the seal of the Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in

facsimile, thereon.

Any one or more of the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees,

the Superintendent of Schools, and the Business Manager of the District, are hereby expressly

authorized, empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such

acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and on behalf of the District

all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents, whether mentioned herein or not, as

may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Order and the

issuance of the Bonds. In addition, prior to the initial delivery of the Bonds, the President, Vice

President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, the Superintendent of Schools, or the Business

Manager, or Bond Counsel to the District, are each hereby authorized and directed to approve

any technical changes or corrections to this Order or to any of the documents authorized and

approved by this Order: (i) in order to cure any technical ambiguity, formal defect, or omission in

the Order or such other document; or (ii) as requested by the Attorney General of the State of

Texas or his representative to obtain the approval of the Bonds by the Attorney General and if

such officer or counsel determines that such ministerial changes are consistent with the intent and

purpose of the Order, which determination shall be final. In the event that any officer of the

District whose signature shall appear on any document shall cease to be such officer before the

delivery of such document, such signature nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all

purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

21. Sale. The Bonds shall be sold and delivered to the Purchaser or Purchasers at a

price to be set forth in the Officer’s Pricing Certificate, plus accrued interest on the Current

Interest Bonds to the date of delivery, in accordance with the terms of either a negotiated bond

purchase contract or pursuant to competitive bidding, and the Pricing Officer is authorized to

determine whether to sell the bonds by a negotiated sale and bond purchase agreement or by

competitive bidding. If the bonds are sold by competitive bidding, then the terms of any Notice

of Sale and Official Bid Form may be determined and approved by the Pricing Officer. Each

Pricing Officer is hereby authorized and directed to execute any bond purchase agreement or

official bid form on behalf of the District, and each such Pricing Officer shall be authorized to do

so acting individually and without the necessity of the joinder or approval of the other Pricing

Officer, and the Superintendent, Business Manager and Board President and all other officers,

agents and representatives of the District are hereby authorized to do any and all things necessary

or desirable to satisfy the conditions set out therein and to provide for the issuance and delivery

of the Bonds.

(b) Bond Insurance or Permanent School Fund Guaranty. If the Officer’s Pricing

Certificate approves and authorizes municipal bond insurance, then the purchase of and payment of

the premium for the municipal bond insurance policy by the District, in accordance with the terms

89

-25-

of a commitment for such insurance presented to and approved by the Pricing Officer, is hereby

approved and authorized. Alternatively, if the Officer’s Pricing Certificate approves and

authorizes payment of the Bonds to be guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund Guaranty,

then such guaranty is hereby approved and authorized. All officials and representatives of the

District are authorized and directed to execute such documents and to do any and all things

necessary or desirable to obtain such insurance or Permanent School Fund Guaranty, and the

printing on the Bonds of an appropriate legend regarding such insurance or guaranty is hereby

approved, in the form approved by any Pricing Officer.

22. Tax Exemption. (a) General Tax Covenant. The District intends that the

interest on the Bonds shall be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income

taxation pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and the applicable Treasury

Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”). The District covenants and agrees not to take any action,

or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively,

would (i) cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income, as defined in Section

61 of the Code, of the holders thereof for purposes of federal income taxation or (ii) result in a

violation of or failure to satisfy any provision of Section 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code

and the applicable Regulations that are applicable to the Bonds. In particular, the District

covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section; provided, however, that

the District shall not be required to comply with any particular requirement of this Section if the

District has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel ("Counsel's Opinion") that

(i) such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal

income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or (ii0 that compliance with some other

requirement set forth in this Section will satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code, in

which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion shall

constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in this Section. The District

represents and warrants that the District shall realize present value debt service savings

(determined without regard to administrative expenses) in connection with issuance of the Bonds

to the extent that the proceeds thereof are used to refund the Refunded Obligations.

(b) No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing. The District shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent that based upon all facts and circumstances known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, that the proceeds of the Refunded Obligations have not been used, and that proceeds of the Refunded Obligations and the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the District covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Refunded Obligations and the Bonds including interest or other investment income derived from Bond proceeds, regulate the use of property financed, directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) No Federal Guaranty. The District covenants and agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder, except as permitted by Section

90

-26-

149(b)(3) of the Code and such Regulations.

(d) No-Arbitrage Covenant. The District shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the District will reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and applicable Regulations thereunder. Moreover, the District covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Bonds (including interest or other investment income derived therefrom), regulate investments of such proceeds and amounts, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and applicable Regulations thereunder.

(e) Arbitrage Rebate. If the District does not qualify for an exception to the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code relating to rebate to the United States, the District will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the District on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds (within the meaning of Section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the District will (i) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the District allocable to other bond issues of the District or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the District, (ii) calculate at such times as are required by applicable regulations, the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds which is required to be rebated to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Bonds, and within sixty days after the retirement of the Bonds, or on such other date as may be permitted under applicable regulations with respect to "gross proceeds" in the Escrow Fund, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further, the District will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into an investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm’s length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party.

(f) Information Reporting. The District covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Bonds are issued, an information statement concerning the Bonds, all under and in accordance with Section 149(e) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. (g) Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the District’s obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the Bonds for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes.

(h) Record Retention. The District will retain all pertinent and material

records relating to the use and expenditure of the proceeds of Refunded Obligations and the

Bonds until three years after the last Bond is redeemed, or such shorter period as authorized by

subsequent guidance issued by the Department of Treasury, if applicable. All records will be

kept in a manner that ensures their complete access throughout the retention period. For this

91

-27-

purpose, it is acceptable that such records are kept either as hardcopy books and records or in an

electronic storage and retrieval system, provided that such electronic system includes reasonable

controls and quality assurance programs that assure the ability of the District to retrieve and

reproduce such books and records in the event of an examination of the Bonds by the Internal

Revenue Service.

(i) Registration. The Bonds will be issued in registered form.

(j) Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The District hereby designates the

Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The

Bonds issued are not "private activity bonds" as defined by Section 141 of the Code. After the

Bonds are issued, the District and any governmental entities controlled by it will not have

designated more than $10,000,000.00 of obligations issued during calendar year 2014 as qualified

tax-exempt obligations and the District and any governmental entities controlled by it reasonably

anticipate that the total amount of tax-exempt obligations to be issued by the District during

calendar year 2014 will not exceed $10,000,000.00.

23. Application of Proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds shall, promptly

upon receipt by the District, be applied and used solely to (i) deposit with the Paying Agent for

the Refunded Obligations such amounts necessary to refund the Refunded Obligations, and, to

the extent not otherwise provided for, to pay all expenses arising in connection with the

refunding of the Refunded Obligations, and (ii) to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds, including

but not limited to, the premium for the Bond Insurance Policy if such policy is approved in the

Officer’s Pricing Certificate. Any proceeds from the Bonds remaining after making all such

deposits and payments set forth above shall constitute a rounding amount and shall be deposited

into the Interest and Sinking Fund.

In addition to the foregoing, accrued interest received on the date of Closing shall be

deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund and shall be used to pay interest on the Current

Interest Bonds on the first Interest Payment Date.

24. Transfer of Money in the Interest and Sinking Fund Maintained for Refunded Obligations. On the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, amounts contained in the Interest and Sinking Fund, if any, for the Refunded Obligations shall be transferred to the Interest and Sinking Fund for the Bonds and shall be applied as herein provided. 25. Redemption of Refunded Obligations. Contingent upon execution of the Officer’s

Pricing Certificate, the District hereby irrevocably calls for redemption prior to maturity the

Refunded Obligations designated by the Pricing Officer in the Pricing Certificate, on the date or

dates set forth in the Pricing Certificate and authorizes and directs notice of such redemption to

be given in such form or forms as approved by the Pricing Officer.

26. Escrow Agreement. The discharge and defeasance of the Refunded Obligations shall be effectuated pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Escrow Agreement to be entered into by and between the District and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as

92

-28-

Escrow Agent, which shall be substantially in the form presented to the District and its Board of Trustees, the terms and provisions of which are hereby approved, subject to such insertions, additions and modifications approved by any Pricing Officer and as shall be necessary (a) to carry out the refunding program designed for the District by USCA Municipal Advisors LLC and which shall be certified as to mathematical accuracy by Grant Thornton LLP, in the Report, (b) to maximize the District’s present value savings and/or to minimize the District's costs of refunding, (c) to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the refunding of the Refunded Obligations and (d) to carry out the other intents and purposes of this Order, and the President, Vice President, Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Business Manager or any other officer of the District is hereby authorized to execute and deliver such Escrow Agreement on behalf of the District in multiple counterparts and the Secretary is hereby authorized to attest thereto and affix the District’s seal.

27. Source of Funds Used in Refunding. No money of the District other than

proceeds of the Bonds and other than monies in the Debt Service Fund for the Refunded Obligations shall be used to refund the Refunded Obligations.

28. Purchase of Escrowed Securities. To assure the purchase of the Escrowed

Securities, if any, referred to in the Escrow Agreement and in the Report, the District’s President,

Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Business Manager or any other officer, and the Escrow

Agent are hereby authorized to subscribe for, agree to purchase, and purchase the Escrowed

Securities, in such amounts and maturities and bearing interest at such rates as may be provided

for in the Report, and to execute any and all subscriptions, purchase agreements, commitments,

letters of authorization and other documents necessary to effectuate the foregoing, and any

actions heretofore taken for such purpose are hereby ratified and approved. 29. Official Statement. The District hereby ratifies, authorizes and approves, in

connection with the sale of the Bonds, the preparation and distribution of any Notice of Sale and the Preliminary Official Statement, each dated as approved by any Pricing Officer. The appropriate officials of the District are hereby authorized to sign such Official Statement and/or to deliver a certificate pertaining to such Official Statement as prescribed therein, dated as of the date of payment for and delivery of the Bonds.

30. Permanent School Fund Guarantee. The Bonds may be sold with the principal of

and interest thereon being guaranteed by the “Permanent School Fund” created, established and

maintained pursuant to Article VII, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Texas. Any

Pricing Officer is hereby authorized to determine whether to make application to the

Commissioners of Education of the State of Texas (the “Commissioner”) for the Bonds to be,

subject to compliance with the Texas Education Agency’s rules and regulations, guaranteed by

the Permanent School Fund in accordance with the provisions of Subchapter E of Chapter 45,

V.T.C.A., Education Code, as amended. In the event any Pricing Officer makes application to,

and the District receives approval from, the Texas Education Agency that the Bonds as eligible

for such guarantee, the District hereby certifies, agrees, covenants and acknowledges that:

(i) Immediately following a determination of the District’s inability to pay

any principal payment or interest installment, on the Bonds, and in no event later than

five (5) days prior to a Stated Maturity or interest payment date, the Superintendent shall

notify the Commissioner, in the name of the District, of (a) the District’s inability to pay,

93

-29-

all or any portion, of the principal amount or interest installment of one or more Bonds,

(b) the total dollar amount of funds required by the District to pay in full the principal of

and interest on the Bonds which the District is unable to pay, (c) the name and address of

the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds, (d) the date when funds for the payment of the

Bonds or interest thereon shall be required by the District and deposited with the Paying

Agent/Registrar and (e) such other information as the Commissioner shall require.

(ii) Any notices to be given to the Holders hereunder shall additionally be

given to the Commissioner, when and as mailed to the Holders.

(iii) If the District fails to pay the principal of and interest on any Bond and the

payment thereof is provided with funds from the Permanent School Fund in accordance

with the guarantee, the provisions of Section 45.059(b) of the Texas Education Code shall

prevail, to the extent of conflict, over the provisions of Section 23 hereof, and such

amount or amounts paid with funds from the Permanent School Fund, plus interest on

such amount or amounts, shall be deducted from the first State money payable to the

District in the following order: first from the Foundation School Fund and then from the

Available School Fund until full reimbursement of such amount or amounts has been

made to the Permanent School Fund.

(iv) If two (2) or more payments from the Permanent School Fund are made

pursuant to the guarantee and the Commissioner determines the District is acting in bad

faith under the guarantee, the Attorney General of the State of Texas may institute

appropriate legal action to compel the District and its officers, agents and employees to

comply with the duties required by law in regard to the Bonds.

(v) Written notice advising of the defeasance of the Bonds by a refunding or

otherwise shall be given to the Division of State Finance of the Texas Education Agency

within ten (10) calendar days following the defeasance of the Bonds, and such defeasance

shall cause the guarantee of the Bonds by the Permanent School Fund to be removed in

its entirety and terminated in all respects.

31. Related Matters. To satisfy in a timely manner all of the District's obligations under

this Order, the President and the Secretary of the Board of the District and all other appropriate

Officer’s and agents of the District are hereby authorized and directed to do any and all things

necessary or convenient to carry out the terms and purposes of this Order, including the execution

and delivery of the Letter of Representations if required.

32. Registrar. The form of agreement setting forth the duties of the Registrar is hereby

approved, and the appropriate officials of the District are hereby authorized to execute such

agreement for and on behalf of the District.

The District covenants that at all times while any Bonds are outstanding, it will provide a

commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the State of Texas or other entity

duly qualified and legally authorized to act as Registrar for the Bonds. The District reserves the

94

-30-

right to replace the Registrar or its successor at any time and from time to time with respect to the

Bonds. If the Registrar is replaced by the District, the new Registrar shall accept the previous

Registrar's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Registrar. Any successor Registrar

shall be either a national or state banking institution or a corporation or association organized and

doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State authorized under such

laws to exercise trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State

authority. Promptly upon the appointment of any successor Registrar, the previous Registrar shall

deliver the Register or a copy thereof to the new Registrar, and the new Registrar shall notify each

Owner, by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, of such change and of the address of the

new Registrar. Each Registrar hereunder, by acting in that capacity, shall be deemed to have agreed

to the provisions of this Section.

33. Bond Counsel. The District hereby ratifies and approves of the engagement of

Creighton, Fox, Johnson & Mills, PLLC, Beaumont, Texas, to serve as bond counsel to the District

in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The form of agreement setting forth the duties of

Bond Counsel is hereby approved and the appropriate officials of the District are hereby authorized

to execute such agreement on behalf of the District.

34. No Personal Liability. No recourse shall be had for payment of the principal of or

interest on any Bonds or for any claim based thereon, or on this Order, against any Board member

or employee of the District or any person executing any Bonds.

35. Open Meeting. The Board of Trustees of the District hereby finds and determines

that the meeting at which this Order was adopted was open to the public, and public notice of the

time, place and purpose of said meeting was given, all as required by the Texas Government Code.

36. Additional Obligations. To the extent required by law, the District undertakes and

agrees for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds to provide directly, on or before six months after

the end of the District's fiscal year, which fiscal year presently ends on August 31,

a. to the Municipal Securities Rule Making Board (the “MSRB”) annual financial

information (which may be unaudited) and operating data regarding the District for

fiscal years ending on or after January 1, 2014 which annual financial information

and operating data shall be of the type included in the following listed sections

TAX DATA AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX C.

b. to MSRB audited financial statements for the District for fiscal years ending in or

after 2014, when available, if the District commissions an audit and it is completed

95

-31-

by the required time; provided that if audited statements are not commissioned or

are not available by the required time, the District will provide unaudited statements

when and if they become available.

c. in a timely manner (and not more than 10 business days after occurrence of the

event), to MSRB notice of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds, if

material within the meaning of the federal security laws to a decision to purchase or

sell Bonds:

i. Principal and interest payment delinquencies;

ii. Non-payment related defaults, if material;

iii. Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties;

iv. Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties;

v. Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;

vi. Adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of

proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701-TEB), or

other material notices of determinations with respect to the federal income tax status of the Bonds,

or other material events affecting the tax status of the bonds;

vii. Modifications to rights of Bond holders, if material;

viii. Bond calls, if material, and tender offers;

ix. Defeasances;

x. Release, substitution or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if

material;

xi. Rating changes;

xii. bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the District, which

shall occur as described below;

xiii. The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the

District or the sale or all or substantially all of its assets, other than in the ordinary course of

business, the entry into a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a

definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and

xiv. Appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a

true, if material.

96

-32-

For these purposes, any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph xii is considered to

occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar

officer for the District in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any other

proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed

jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the District, or if such jurisdiction has

been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but

subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of any order

confirming a plan or reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or governmental

authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the

District.

d. in a timely manner (and not more than 10 business days after occurrence of the

event), to MSRB notice of a failure of the District to provide required annual

financial information and operating data, on or before six months after the end of the

District's fiscal year.

These undertakings and agreements are subject to appropriation of necessary funds and to

applicable legal restrictions, if any.

The accounting principles pursuant to which the District's financial statements are currently

prepared are generally accepted accounting principles set out by the Government Accounting

Standards Board, and, subject to changes in applicable law or regulations, such principles will be

applied in the future.

If the District changes its fiscal year, it will notify MSRB of the change (and of the new

fiscal year end) prior to the next date by which the District otherwise would be required to provide

annual financial information.

The District's obligation to update information and to provide notices of material events

shall be limited to the agreements herein. The District shall not be obligated to provide other

information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results of

operations, condition, or prospects and shall not be obligated to update any information that is

provided, except as described herein. The District makes no representation or warranty concerning

such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future

date. THE DISTRICT DISCLAIMS ANY CONTRACTUAL OR TORT LIABILITY FOR

DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH, WHETHER

NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ITS CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY STATEMENT MADE PURSUANT TO ITS AGREEMENT.

HOLDERS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF BONDS MAY SEEK AS THEIR SOLE REMEDY

A WRIT OF MANDAMUS TO COMPEL THE DISTRICT TO COMPLY WITH THIS

AGREEMENT. No default by the District with respect to its continuing disclosure agreement shall

constitute a breach of or default under this Order for purposes of any other provision of this Order.

Nothing in this paragraph is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the duties of

97

-33-

the District under federal and state securities laws.

The District may amend its continuing disclosure obligations and agreement in this Section

to adapt to changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law,

or a change in the identity, nature, status or type of operations of the District if the agreement, as

amended, would have permitted the Purchaser to purchase or sell the Bonds in the original primary

offering in compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-12, taking into account any amendments or

interpretations of such Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances,

and either the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds consent

or any person unaffiliated with the District (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines

the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the holders and beneficial owners of the

Bonds. The District may also amend or repeal the obligations and agreement in this Section if the

SEC amends or repeals the applicable provisions of Rule 15c2-12 or a court of final jurisdiction

determines that such provisions are invalid, and the District may amend the agreement in its

discretion in any other circumstance or manner, but in either case only to the extent that its right to

do so would not prevent the Purchaser from lawfully purchasing or reselling the Bonds in the

primary offering of the Bonds in compliance with Rule 15c2-12. If the District amends its

agreement, it must include with the next financial information and operating data provided in

accordance with its agreement an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment

and of the impact of any change in the type of information and operating data so provided.

The District's continuing obligation to provide annual financial information and operating

data and notices of events will terminate if and when the District no longer remains an "obligated

person" (as such term is defined in SEC Rule 15c2-12) with respect to the Bonds.

37. Discharge by Deposit. The District may discharge its obligation to pay the

principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on all or any portion of the Bonds in any

manner now or hereafter provided by Texas law.

98

-34-

38. Amendments. The District may amend this Order without the consent of or notice

to any registered Owners in any manner not detrimental to the interests of the registered Owners,

including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein. In

addition, the District may, with the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate

principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any

of the provisions of the Order; except that, without the consent of the registered Owners of all of

the Bonds affected, no such amendment, addition, or rescission may (i) change the date specified

as the date on which the principal of or any installment of interest on any Bond is due and

payable, reduce the principal amount or maturity amount thereof, or the rate of interest thereon,

change the place or places at or the coin or currency in which any Bond or interest thereon is

payable, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the

Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate

principal amount of Bonds required for consent to any amendment, addition, or rescission.

Educator Evaluation & Support System pilot. o Dr. Duhon made a presentation to DEIC members that outlined components of the new teacher and

principal appraisal instruments. The majority of the information provided focused on the teacher evaluation instrument since that is the information that was provided to state superintendents and their pilot teams at recent kick-off training in Austin.

o Dr. Cavness announced that teachers who are supposed to be evaluated next year in the three-year rotation schedule will continue to be evaluated with the current appraisal instrument but that teachers will be asked to volunteer to be appraised with the new instrument. This will give those teachers a preview of the instrument and will help them prepare for 2015-2016 when it will be required. In addition, it will give our teachers a “voice” by providing feedback to the state regarding the instrument.

o Some DEIC members asked questions and answers were provided based upon limited information from TEA.

o Dr. Cavness reported that the district’s pilot participation will be shared with the board at the Monday, May 12, board meeting.

o Dr. Duhon will create a Google Doc so that DEIC committee members can make comments about the pilot.

Texas Educator Evaluation & SupportEvaluation & Support System

2014-2015 Pilot Districts

Background….

● The new appraisal system is a result of the USDE conditional waiver for specific provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001.

● 2014-2015 Pilot Year● 2015-2016 Full Implementation● 72 districts participating (PN-GISD and PAISD from

Region 5)

168

Two Instruments….

● Principal Evaluation Instrumentp● Teacher Evaluation Instrument

They represent a “growth” model rather than a “punitive” model. Both instruments are research-based, expert-, pdeveloped, and practioner-informed with multiple indicators of success, including a measure of student learning.

Expectations for Pilot...

● Feedback (and lots of it!)( )● Fidelity of implementation● Communication● Data to evaluate validity of the system

169

Objectives of the New System...

● Continual improvement of instruction● Provide clear, useful, and timely feedback that

drives professional development● Meaningful differentiated performance● Uses multiple valid measures

Evaluate teachers and principals on a regular basis● Evaluate teachers and principals on a regular basis● Place personnel in the best position to succeed.

PN-GISD Pilot Plan

● Teachers scheduled to be evaluated in 2014-2015 will be evaluated with the current evaluation instrument.

● Pilot evaluations will be on a voluntary basisbasis.

Tested Teachers (Value-Added)

● Uses a statistical cohort for the student based on his/her testing history.

● Takes into consideration external factors of the students.

● “On average, how well did your students exceed/fall below the expectation?p

● Teachers will be able to verify their rosters to allow for the time with the teacher (1 mo., 3 mo., all year, etc.)

● This is not the same as Index 2 cohort in state accountability system...but the concept is similar.

Non-Tested Teachers

● Portfolios● Student Learning Objectives● District Pre- and Post-Tests

District’s will determine these measuresDistrict’s will determine these measures.

Miscellaneous Advantages...

● Everything drives professional development.● Informs teachers of what they are doing well in addition

to what needs improvement.● It provides for ongoing dialogue, not a one-time dog-

and-pony show.● Don’t know the breakdown of how much observation vs.

student growth will count yet….teacher committees have recommended heavier weight on the observation piece and less on the student growth piece.

3 Parts to the Teacher Appraisal

1. Pre-Conference2. Lesson Observation (No set length

requirement but should observe beginning, middle, and end of an entire lesson )lesson.)

3. Post-Conference (The purpose is to give practical ways of going back into the classroom and help them be successful!)

Each marked-up (LOCAL) policy in this collection reflects an automated comparison of the updated policy with its precursor, as found in the TASB Policy Service records.

The comparison is generated by an automated process that shows changes as follows.

Deletions are shown in a red strike-through font: deleted text.

Additions are shown in a blue, bold font: new text.

Blocks of text that have been moved without alteration are shown in green, with double underline and double strike-through formatting to distinguish the text’s

destination from its origin: moved text becomes moved text.

Revision bars appear in the right margin, as above.

While the annotation software competently identifies simple changes, large or complicated changes—as in an extensive rewrite—may be more difficult to follow.

AGENDA ITEM: Consider Approval to Fund HVAC Gym Projects with Bond Funds at Port

Neches Elementary, Ridgewood Elementary, and Van Buren Elementary

Please find attached Jeff Bergeron’s plan for replacing gym gas package units at three elementary

campuses. Quotes are also included. Bond funds are available for these projects.

Recommendation: It is recommended the Board approve the recommendation to fund HVAC

gym projects with bond funds at Port Neches Elementary, Ridgewood

Elementary, and Van Buren Elementary.

Resource Personnel: Jeff Bergeron, Director of Facilities Management & Maintenance

GYM GAS PACKAGE UNITS

Locations: Port Neches Elementary Gym Ridgewood Elementary Gym Van Buren Elementary Gym The Maintenance HVAC Department has compiled information in regards to the above referenced campuses. The type of unit, cost and compatibility to the existing unit has been taken into consideration. Installing a compatible unit will help keep down unnecessary costs. These costs may include large slabs, considerably more fencing and duct work. Although some of these additions may be necessary, they can be held to a minimum using compatible equipment. The brands of units quoted are Rudd, ICP and Carrier. These are brands that currently exist on our campuses. All three of these units were part of the 1997 bond. That makes these units approximately 17 years old, which is well past life expectancy. The new units will not only be compatible but will be much more efficient. Prices quoted will include unit cost, shipping, duct work, fence work and slab installation. There will also be a cost for gas and electrical hook-ups. A 15 ton crane rental will be necessary for removing and setting equipment. Our cost will be compared to recent pricing received from Hunton Services. Hunton Services is presently a member of TCPN.

AGENDA ITEM: Consider Approval of New Administrative Positions for 2014-2015

School Year

The following positions are requested as new positions for the 2014-2015 school year:

Campus Gr./

Subject

Justification for Position

WGEC Program Support

Coordinator

With current demands of meeting general education students’ needs with the ultimate goal of increasing student achievement, we are in need of a general education Program Support Coordinator at Port Neches-Groves ISD. The three primary support programs for the general education student would include Section 504, dyslexia, and Response to Intervention (RtI). Increased referrals coupled with parental concern makes it beneficial for PN-GISD to have a dedicated staff person to oversee the daily implementation of the three programs.

Section 504: Section 504 students do not fall under the Special Education umbrella, but they can be identified by disabilities that substantially limit the student’s ability to function in the school setting. There are very specific rules and laws governing 504 including requirements for child-find, evaluations, procedural safeguards, and development of individualized accommodation plans for students determined to be eligible under 504. Assistance is needed for consistency across all campuses and direct oversight of the daily implementation of the Section 504 program.

Coordinator Section 504 Duties to Include:

Serve as district 504 coordinator

Streamline 504 paperwork and district processes

Oversee district compliance

Serve as resource person when questions or concerns arise on campuses

Dyslexia: Currently, our diagnosticians’ workload has increased because of a corresponding increase in the number of special education students. The increased special education work load has made it difficult for the diagnostician to keep up with dyslexia testing duties along with special education referrals, re-evaluations, and ARD meetings. On several occasions this year we have had to contract with outside sources for dyslexia testing and special education testing.

Coordinator Dyslexia Duties to Include:

Evaluate all potential dyslexia students

Review testing results with appropriate campus personnel/parents, as needed

Oversee dyslexia program

Provide support where needed

Response to Intervention (RtI): The district’s Response to Intervention program has come a long way, but there is a need for further refinement to streamline the process at all levels.

Coordinator RtI Duties to Include:

Streamline the RtI paperwork and district process

Facilitate campus meetings for RtI to Special Ed referrals

Implement appropriate interventions at all levels (especially secondary)

Utilize screening data to ensure students are being served in appropriate intervention programs

Provide ongoing support to campus personnel for students who are identified as slow learners through special ed assessment.

Provide support to campus principals and campus teams to increase student achievement of targeted students.

Campus Gr./

Subject

Justification for Position

High School Assistant Principal

The primary focus of the new Assistant Principal position will be on discipline in the following areas:

Drug and Gang Activity—The high school has seen a record number of incidents related to drug and gang activity. This person will provide support and coordination for these often lengthy types of investigations and due process discipline hearings, and will coordinate and manage the subsequent discipline plan.

Coordinate and manage the district drug testing program - This includes coordination with the drug testing company as well as scheduling tests and managing follow up process activities, including parent/school meetings and documentation.

CTE—Provide Assistant Principal dedicated to assist CTE teachers and serve as a parent liaison for CTE student discipline issues.

Special Education—Provide support and serve as parent liaison for special populations with regard to behavior management.

Another focus of the new Assistant Principal position will be to support organization and scheduling of assessments as follows:

EOC

HB 5 related assessments (certification and dual credit support)

SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement testing

Expand and manage Kuder testing

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve the above positions to begin

with the 2014-15 school year.

Resource Personnel: Dr. Mike Gonzales, Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services

Dr. Brenda Duhon, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction/Technology

STATE OF TEXAS §

COUNTY OF JEFFERSON §

On the 12th day of May, 2014, a public meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Port

Neches-Groves Independent School District was held. The meeting was duly posted in

accordance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act, Chapter 551, Texas

Government Code. At the meeting, the Board of Trustees took up and considered the

application of Air Liquide Large Industries U.S. LP (Air Liquide) for an Appraised Value

Limitation on Qualified Property, pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code. The Board

of Trustees solicited input into its deliberations on the Application from interested parties

within the District. After hearing presentations from the District’s administrative staff, and

from consultants retained by the District to advise the Board in this matter, the Board of

Trustees of the Port Neches-Groves Independent School District makes the following

findings with respect to the application of Air Liquide, and the economic impact of that

application:

On November 14, 2013, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts received an

Application from Air Liquide for an Appraised Value Limitation on Qualified Property,

pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code. A copy of the Application is attached as

Attachment A.

The Applicant, Air Liquide (Texas Taxpayer Id. 32035542425), is an entity subject to

Chapter 171, Texas Tax Code, and is certified to be in good standing with the Texas

Comptroller of Public Accounts. See Attachment B.

The Board of Trustees has acknowledged receipt of the Application, along with the

requisite application fee, as established pursuant to Texas Tax Code § 313.025(a)(1) and Local

District Policy.

245


May 12, 2014 Page 2 of 11

The Application was delivered to the Texas Comptroller’s Office for review pursuant

to Texas Tax Code § 313.025(d). A copy of the Application was delivered to the Jefferson

County Appraisal District for review pursuant to 34 Tex. Admin. Code § 9.1054.

The Application was reviewed by the Texas Comptroller’s Office pursuant to Texas

Tax Code § 313.026, and a favorable recommendation was issued on January 27, 2014. A

copy of the Comptroller’s letter is attached to the findings as Attachment C.

After receipt of the Application, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts caused to

be conducted an economic impact evaluation pursuant to Texas Tax Code § 313.026 and the

Board of Trustees has carefully considered such evaluation. A copy of the economic impact

evaluation is attached to these findings as Attachment D.

The Board of Trustees also directed that a specific financial analysis be conducted of

the impact of the proposed value limitation on the finances of the Port Neches-Groves

Independent School District. A copy of a report prepared by Moak, Casey & Associates, Inc.

is attached to these findings as Attachment E.

The Board of Trustees has confirmed that the taxable value of property in the Port

Neches-Groves Independent School District for the preceding tax year, as determined under

Subchapter M, Chapter 403, Government Code, is as stated in Attachment F.

After receipt of the Application, the District entered into negotiations with Air Liquide

over the specific language to be included in the Agreement for an Appraised Value Limitation

on Qualified Property, pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code, including appropriate

revenue protection provisions for the District. The proposed Agreement is attached to these

findings as Attachment G.

246


May 12, 2014 Page 3 of 11

After review of the Comptroller’s recommendation, and in consideration of its own economic

impact study the Board finds:

Board Finding Number 1.

There is a strong relationship between the Applicant's industry and the types of qualifying jobs to be created by the Applicant and the long-term economic growth plan of this State as described in the strategic plan for economic development (ED Plan) submitted by the Texas Strategic Economic Development Planning Commission under Section 481.033, Texas Government Code.

In support of Finding 1, the economic impact evaluation states:

The Texas Economic Development Plan focuses on attracting and developing

industries using technology. It also identifies opportunities for existing Texas

industries. The plan centers on promoting economic prosperity throughout

Texas and the skilled workers that the Air Liquide project requires appear to

be in line with the focus and themes of the plan. Texas identified

manufacturing as one of six target clusters in the Texas Cluster Initiative. The

plan stresses the importance of technology in all sectors of the manufacturing

industry.


The economic condition of Port Neches-Groves, Texas is in need of long-term improvement, based on the state’s analysis of Jefferson County data.

Based on information provided by the Comptroller’s Office that focused on the county level,

Jefferson County is the 20th largest county in the state in terms of population. Population

growth in Jefferson County is up; the population of Jefferson County grew by 0.2 percent

between 2009 and 2010, below the state average of 1.8 percent.

September 2011 employment for Jefferson County was up 0.6 percent from September 2010,

below the state’s 0.9 percent increase in total employment during the same period, based on

information provided by the Comptroller’s Office. Even with an increase in total

247


May 12, 2014 Page 4 of 11

employment, however, the unemployment rate in Jefferson County was 11.9 percent in

September 2011, higher than the state average of 8.5 percent.

Jefferson County has a slightly lower per capita personal income than the state as a whole. In

terms of per capita income, Jefferson County’s $37,139 in 2009 ranked 59th among the 254

counties in Texas, while the Texas average was $38,609 for the same period.

The below-average population growth and employment growth, along with the higher

unemployment rate reported in the analysis prepared by the Comptroller’s Office, indicate the

need for long-term economic growth in the area served by Port Neches-Groves ISD. The

local economy in Jefferson County will benefit from economic activity like that associated with

the Air Liquide project. Major capital investments like this project are beneficial to the

community on a number of fronts, including direct and indirect employment, expanded

opportunities for existing businesses and increased local tax bases.


The average salary level of qualifying jobs is expected to be at least $75,000 per year. The review of the application by the State Comptroller’s Office indicated that this amount—based on Texas Workforce Commission data—complies with the requirement that qualifying jobs must pay 110 percent of the regional average manufacturing wage. Air Liquide indicates that total employment will be approximately eight (8) new jobs, seven (7) of which will be qualifying jobs.


After construction, the project will create eight new jobs when fully

operational. Seven of the jobs will meet the criteria for qualifying jobs as

specified in Tax Code Section 313.021(3). According to the Texas Workforce

Commission (TWC), the regional manufacturing wage for the South East

Texas Council of Governments, where Jefferson County is located was

$61,118 in 2013. The annual average manufacturing wage for 2012-2013 for

Jefferson County is $91,338. That same year, the county annual average wage

for all industries was $50,505 In addition to an annual average salary of

$75,000 each qualifying position will receive benefits necessary to comply

248


May 12, 2014 Page 5 of 11

with the Affordable Care Act, a competitive 401(k) retirement savings plan,

vacation, sick leave and skills training.


The level of the applicant's average investment per qualifying job over the term of the Agreement is estimated to be approximately $16.7 million

on the basis of the goal of seven (7) new qualifying positions for the entire Air Liquide project.


The project’s total investment is $117 million, resulting in a relative level of

investment per qualifying job of $16.7 million..

Board Finding Number 5. Based upon the information provided to the District with regard to the industry standard for staffing ratios of similar projects in the State of Texas, the District has determined that if the job creation requirement set forth in Texas Tax Code § 313.021(2)(A)(iv)(b) was applied, for the size and scope of the project described in the Application, the required number of jobs meets or exceeds the industry standard for the number of employees reasonably necessary for the operation of the facility.


Subsequent economic effects on the local and regional tax bases will be significant. In addition, the impact of the added infrastructure will be significant to the region.


Table 1 depicts Air Liquide Large Industries US, LP’s estimated economic impact to

Texas. It depicts the direct, indirect and induced effects to employment and personal

income within the state. The Comptroller’s office calculated the economic impact

based on 16 years of annual investment and employment levels using software from

Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI). The impact includes the construction

period and the operating period of the project.

The revenue gains that will be realized by the school district if the Application is approved will be significant in the long-term, with special reference to revenues used for supporting school district debt.

In support of this finding, the analysis prepared by Moak, Casey & Associates projects that

the project would initially add $117 million to the tax base for debt service purposes at the

peak investment level for the 2016-17 school year, based on the schedule in the application.

The Air Liquide project remains fully taxable for debt services taxes, with Port Neches-Groves

ISD currently levying a $0.396 per $100 I&S rate. While the value of the Air Liquide project

is expected to depreciate over the life of the agreement and beyond, full access to the additional

value will add to the District’s tax base and assist it in meeting its debt service needs.


The effect of the applicant’s proposal, if approved, on the number or size of needed school district instructional facilities is not expected to increase the District’s facility needs, with current trends suggest little underlying enrollment growth based on the impact of the Air Liquide project.

The summary of financial impact prepared by Moak, Casey & Associates, Inc., indicates that

there will be little to no impact on school facilities created by the new manufacturing project.

This finding is confirmed by the TEA evaluation of this project’s impact on the number and

size of school facilities in Port Neches-Groves ISD as stated in Attachment D.


The ability of the applicant to locate the proposed facility in another state or another region of this state is substantial, as a result of the highly competitive marketplace for economic development.


According to Air Liquide Large Industries US, LP’s application, Air Liquide Large

Industries World Business Line has established its presence around the world through

its design and installation of more than 400 air separation units (ASUs), some 100

252


May 12, 2014 Page 9 of 11

hydrogen production plants (of which 38 are major units) and 18 cogeneration units.

This presence is strengthened by the Group’s vast pipeline network, which allows Air

Liquide to meet the air, gas and hydrogen requirements of major customers in some

of the world’s largest industrial basins, in the United States, Europe and Asia. This

project can be build and installed anywhere on the pipeline that runs from Corpus

Christi, TX to Lake Charles, LA.


During the past two years, six projects in the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission Region applied for value limitation agreements under Tax Code, Chapter 313.


The Board of Trustees hired consultants to review and verify the information in the Application from Air Liquide. Based upon the consultants’ review, the Board has determined that the information provided by the Applicant is true and correct.


The Board of Trustees has determined that the Tax Limitation Amount requested by Applicant is currently Thirty Million Dollars, which is consistent with the minimum values currently set out by Tax Code, §313.054(a).

According to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts’ School and Appraisal Districts'

Property Value Study 2013 Preliminary Findings made under Subchapter M, Chapter 403,

Government Code for the preceding tax year, Attachment F, the total 2013 industrial value

for Port Neches-Groves ISD is $1.89 billion. Port Neches-Groves ISD is categorized as

Subchapter C, which applies only to a school district that has territory in a strategic investment

area, as defined under Subchapter O, Chapter 171, Tax Code or in a county: (1) that has a

population of less than 50,000 and (2) in which, from 1990 to 2000, according to the federal

decennial census, the population: (A) remained the same; (B) decreased; or (C) increased, but

at a rate of not more than three percent per annum. Port Neches-Groves ISD is classified as

a “rural” district due to its placement in as strategic investment area. Given that the total

253


May 12, 2014 Page 10 of 11

taxable value of industrial property in Port Neches-Groves ISD is above $200 million, it is

classified as a Category I district which can offer a minimum value limitation of $30 million.


The Applicant (Taxpayer Id. 32035542425) is eligible for the limitation on appraised value of qualified property as specified in the Agreement based on its “good standing” certification as a franchise-tax paying entity.


The Agreement for an Appraised Value Limitation on Qualified Property, pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code, attached hereto as Attachment G, includes adequate and appropriate revenue protection provisions for the District.

In support of this finding, the report of Moak, Casey & Associates, Inc. shows that the District

will incur a revenue loss under current law in the first year that the value limitation is in effect

without the proposed Agreement under current law. However, with this Agreement, the

negative consequences of granting the value limitation are offset through the revenue

protection provisions agreed to by the Applicant and the District. Revenue protection

measures are in place for the duration of the Agreement.


Considering the purpose and effect of the law and the terms of the Agreement, that it is in the best interest of the District and the State to enter into the attached Agreement for Limitation on Appraised Value of Property for School District Maintenance and Operations Taxes.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Agreement attached hereto as Attachment G is approved

and herby authorized to be executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Port Neches-

Groves Independent School District. It is further ORDERED that these findings and the

Attachments referred to herein be attached to the Official Minutes of this meeting, and

maintained in the permanent records of the Board of Trustees of the Port Neches-Groves

Independent School District.

Section 3.1. INTENT OF THE PARTIES Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement (including Section 5.1), it is the

intent of the Parties that the District shall, in accordance with the provisions of Texas Tax Code §313.027(f)(1), be compensated by the Applicant for any loss that the District incurs in its Maintenance and Operations Revenue as a result of, or on account of, entering into this Agreement, after taking into account any payments to be made under this Agreement. Such payments shall be independent of, and in addition to, all such other payments as are set forth in Article IV. Subject only to the limitations contained in this Agreement (including Section 5.1), it is the intent of the Parties that the risk of any negative financial consequence to the District in making the decision to enter into this Agreement will be borne by the Applicant and not by the District, and paid by the Applicant to the District in addition to any and all payments due under Article IV.

Section 3.2. CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF LOSS OF REVENUES BY THE DISTRICT Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the amount to be paid by the Applicant

to compensate the District for loss of Maintenance and Operations Revenue resulting from, or on account of, this Agreement for each year during the term of this Agreement (the "M&O Amount") shall be determined in compliance with the Applicable School Finance Law in effect for such year and according to the following formula:

The M&O Amount owed by the Applicant to District means the Original M&O Revenue

minus the New M&O Revenue;

Where:

i. "Original M&O Revenue" means the total State and local Maintenance & Operations Revenue that the District would have received for the school year under the Applicable School Finance Law had this Agreement not been entered into by the Parties and the Qualified Property and/or Qualified Investment been subject to the ad valorem maintenance & operations tax at the tax rate actually adopted by the District for the applicable year.

ii. "New M&O Revenue" means the total State and local Maintenance

& Operations Revenue that the District actually received for such school year, after all adjustments have been made to Maintenance and Operations Revenue because of any portion of this agreement.

272


In making the calculations required by this Section 3.2:

i. The Taxable Value of property for each school year will be determined under the Applicable School Finance Law.

ii. For purposes of this calculation, the tax collection rate on the

Applicant’s Qualified Property and/or the Applicant’s Qualified Investment will be presumed to be one hundred percent (100%)

iii. If, for any year of this Agreement, the difference between the

Original M&O Revenue and the New M&O Revenue as calculated under this Section 3.2 results in a negative number, the negative number will be considered to be zero.

iv. All calculations made for years three (3) through ten (10) of this Agreement under Section 3.2, Subsection ii of this Agreement will reflect the Tax Limitation Amount for such year.

v. All calculations made under this Section 3.2 shall be made by a

methodology which isolates the full M & O revenue impact caused by this Agreement. The Applicant shall not be responsible to reimburse the District for other revenue losses created by other agreements, on account of any other factors not contained in this Agreement.

(a) it will abide by all of the terms of the Agreement;

(b) it will Maintain Viable Presence in the District through the Final Termination

Date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Applicant shall not be in breach of, and shall not be subject to any liability for failure to Maintain Viable Presence to the extent such failure is caused by Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined), provided the Applicant makes commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the cause of such Force Majeure; and,

313 throughout the value limitation and tax-credit settle-up periods. Section 7.4. CONSEQUENCES OF EARLY TERMINATION OR OTHER BREACH BY APPLICANT (a) In the event that the Applicant terminates this Agreement without the consent of the District, except as provided in Section 5.2, or in the event that the Applicant or its successor-in-interest fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Agreement or to meet any material obligation under this Agreement, after the notice and cure period provided by Section 7.8, then the District shall be entitled to the recapture of all ad valorem tax revenue lost as a result of this Agreement together with the payment of penalty and interest, as calculated in accordance with Section 7.5, on that recaptured ad valorem tax revenue. For purposes of this recapture calculation, the Applicant shall be entitled to a credit for all payments made to the District pursuant to Article III. The Applicant shall also be entitled to a credit for any amounts paid to the District pursuant to Article IV. (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a), in the event that the District determines that the Applicant has failed to Maintain Viable Presence and provides written notice of termination of the Agreement, then the Applicant shall pay to the District liquidated damages for such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of such termination notice. The sum of liquidated damages due and payable shall be the sum total of the District ad valorem taxes for all of the Tax Years for which a Tax Limitation was granted pursuant to this Agreement prior to the year in which the default occurs that otherwise would have been due and payable by the Applicant to the District without the benefit of this Agreement, including penalty and interest, as calculated in accordance with Section 7.5.

282


payment of such liquidated damages, the Applicant’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed fully satisfied, and such payment shall constitute the District’s sole remedy. Section 7.5.

The District shall calculate penalty or interest for each Tax Year during the term of this Agreement since the Commencement Date in accordance with the methodology set forth in Chapter 33 of the Texas Tax Code, as if the base amount calculated for such Tax Year less all credits under Section 7.4 had become due and payable on February 1 of the calendar year following such Tax Year. Penalties on said amounts shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in Texas Tax Code § 33.01(a), or its successor statute. Interest on said amounts shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in Texas Tax Code § 33.01(c), or its successor statute. Section 7.6 MATERIAL BREACH OF AGREEMENT

Voluntary donations made by the Applicant to the District after the date of execution of this Agreement, and not mandated by this Agreement or made in recognition of consideration for this Agreement for limitation on appraised value made pursuant to Chapter 313 are not barred by this provision.

(h) Applicant fails to comply with any other term of this Agreement, or the Applicant

fails to meet its obligations under the applicable Comptroller’s Rules, and under the Texas Economic Development Act.

Section 7.7 LIMITED STATUTORY CURE OF MATERIAL BREACH

In accordance with the provisions of Texas Tax Code § 313.0275, for any full tax year which commences after the project has become operational, the Applicant may cure the Material Breaches of this Agreement, defined in Sections 7.6(d) and 7.6(e) or 7.6(f), above, without the termination of the remaining term of this Agreement.

Section 7.8. DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL BREACH AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT Prior to making a determination that the Applicant has committed a material breach of this Agreement, such as making a misrepresentation in the Application, failing to Maintain Viable Presence in the District as required by Section 7.3 of this Agreement, failing to make any payment required under this Agreement when due, or has otherwise committed a material breach of this Agreement, the District shall provide the Applicant with a written notice of the facts which it believes have caused the material breach of this Agreement, and if cure is possible, the cure proposed by the District. After receipt of the notice, the Applicant shall be given ninety (90) days to present any facts or arguments to the Board of Trustees showing that it is not in material breach of its obligations under the Agreement, or that it has cured or undertaken to cure any such material breach. If the Board of Trustees is not satisfied with such response and/or that such breach has been cured, then the Board of Trustees shall, after reasonable notice to the Applicant, conduct a hearing called and held for the purpose of determining whether such breach has occurred and, if so, whether such breach has been cured. At any such hearing, the Applicant shall have the opportunity, together with their counsel, to be heard before the Board of Trustees. At the hearing, the Board of Trustees shall make findings as to whether or not a material breach of this

284


Agreement has occurred, the date such breach occurred, if any, and whether or not any such breach has been cured. In the event that the Board of Trustees determines that such a breach has occurred and has not been cured, it shall also terminate the Agreement and determine the amount of recaptured taxes under Section 7.4 (net of all credits under Section 7.4), and the amount of any penalty and/or interest under Section 7.5 that are owed to the District. After making its determination regarding any alleged breach, the Board of Trustees shall cause the Applicant to be notified in writing of its determination (a "Determination of Breach and Notice of Contract Termination."). Section 7.9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION After receipt of notice of the Board of Trustee’s Determination of Breach and Notice of Contract Termination under Section 7.8, the Applicant shall have ninety (90) days in which either to tender payment or evidence of its efforts to cure, or to initiate mediation of the dispute by written notice to the District, in which case the District and the Applicant shall be required to make a good faith effort to resolve, without resort to litigation and within ninety (90) days after the Applicant’s receipt of notice of the Board of Trustee’s determination of breach under Section 7.8, such dispute through mediation with a mutually agreeable mediator and at a mutually convenient time and place for the mediation. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator, a mediator shall be selected by the senior state district court judge then presiding in Jefferson County, Texas. The Parties agree to sign a document that provides the mediator and the mediation will be governed by the provisions of Chapter 154 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and such other rules as the mediator shall prescribe. With respect to such mediation, (i) the District shall bear one-half of such mediator’s fees and expenses and the Applicant shall bear one-half of such mediator’s fees and expenses, and (ii) otherwise each Party shall bear all of its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such mediation. In the event that any mediation is not successful in resolving the dispute or that payment is not received before the expiration of such ninety (90) days, the District shall have the remedies for the collection of the amounts determined under Section 7.8 as are set forth in Texas Tax Code Chapter 33, Subchapters B and C, for the collection of delinquent taxes. In the event that the District successfully prosecutes legal proceedings under this section, the Applicant shall also be responsible for the payment of attorney’s fees and a tax lien on the Applicant’s Qualified Property and the Applicant’s Qualified Investment pursuant to Texas Tax Code § 33.07 to the attorneys representing the District pursuant to Texas Tax Code § 6.30. In any event where a dispute between the District and the Applicant under this Agreement cannot be resolved by the Parties, after completing the procedures required above in this Section, either the District or the Applicant may seek a judicial declaration of their respective rights and duties under this Agreement or otherwise, in any judicial proceeding, assert any rights or defenses, or seek any remedy in law or in equity, against the other Party with

285


respect to any claim relating to any breach, default, or nonperformance of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by a Party pursuant to this Agreement. Section 7.10. LIMITATION OF OTHER DAMAGES Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of default or breach of this Agreement by the Applicant, the District's damages for such a default shall under no circumstances exceed the greater of either any amounts calculated under Sections 7.4 and 7.5 above, or the monetary sum of the difference between the payments and credits due and owing to the Applicant at the time of such default and the District taxes that would have been lawfully payable to the District had this Agreement not been executed. In addition, the District's sole right of equitable relief under this Agreement shall be its right to terminate this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the limitation of damages and remedies set forth in this Section 7.10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to the District, whether at law or under principles of equity. Section 7.11. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS In the event of a merger or consolidation of the District with another school district or other governmental authority, this Agreement shall be binding on the successor school district or other governmental authority.
