ALL RIGHT, AT THIS TIME I CALL NICHOLAS MAYNARD.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT DILKS, BOARD.

MY NAME IS NICHOLAS MAYNARD, AND I'M ASKING FOR THE MERCY OF THE BOARD TO NOT SUSPEND MY TEACHING LICENSE.

I'M NEW TO THIS DISTRICT AFTER TEACHING FOR NINE YEARS.

UPON MOVING TO THIS DISTRICT, I WAS PROMISED THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO INTERVIEW FOR MY TWO TEACHER ASSISTANTS.

I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO THIS.

THIS CAUSED A LOT OF STRAIN IN MY CLASSROOM.

IN MY CLASSROOM, I HAVE TWO VERY DIFFICULT STUDENTS, ONE THAT REQUIRED A FEMALE AIDE TO ASSIST HER WITH RESTROOM DUTIES.

[00:05:03]

OFTENTIMES, I WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE NURSE AND OFTENTIMES SHE WOULD BE LEFT IN THIS MESS FOR A WHILE.

THE OTHER HAD A BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN IN WHICH HE WOULD NEED SOMEBODY FROM THE SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT TO BE WITH HIM AT ALL TIMES.

THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO VOLUNTEER IN MY PLANNING PERIOD TO BE WITH HIM DURING RECESS.

OTHERWISE, HE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GO TO RECESS BECAUSE OF THOSE THREE WEEKS WITHOUT THE AIDES.

I WAS ALWAYS HAVING A GOOD RECESS WITH HIM AND VOLUNTEERING MY PLANNING PERIOD.

FOR THAT TIME, I REALLY NEEDED TO LEARN THE CURRICULUM.

I WAS VERY HONEST WITH THE DISTRICT AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND THAT I NEEDED THAT TIME TO FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH THE CURRICULUM THAT THEY HAD PUT IN PLACE.

THAT CAUSED A LOT OF STRAIN IN MY RELATIONSHIP AT HOME.

IT CAUSED A LOT OF STRESS IN A MASTER'S PROGRAM FOR DIAGNOSTICIAN, AND IT JUST BECAME AN OVERBEARING AMOUNT OF WORK FOR ME TO DO.

I DO TRULY FEEL TERRIBLE FOR THOSE STUDENTS.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I WANT FOR THEM.

I DID EXPRESS MY CONCERNS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION IN THAT THREE PERIODS I FELT LIKE A LOT OF MY NEEDS WERE NOT BEING MET.

AT THAT POINT, I DID START SEEKING OTHER EMPLOYMENT.

I WAS UNDER THE FALSE PRETENSE THAT GETTING A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING JOB WAS A PROMOTION.

I NOW KNOW THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

I TOOK THAT POSITION.

THEY EXPECTED ME TO START A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PUTTING IN MY RESIGNATION, BUT I SOON FOUND OUT THAT THAT WAS NOT A PROMOTION.

AFTER FINDING THIS OUT APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER, I RECONTACTED HR AND SUGGESTED THAT I POSSIBLY MOVE TO ANOTHER VACANCY IN THE DISTRICT OR PROVIDE LESSON PLANS FOR THAT CLASS CLASSROOM IN MY ABSENCE.

NEITHER OF THOSE WERE AN OPTION AT THAT POINT.

THE HR DEPARTMENT WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE POSSIBLE SUSPENSION.

I DO TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE KIDS.

I'M VERY SORRY TO BE TAKING YOUR TIME TODAY.

I AM A CHAMPION FOR MY STUDENTS.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SOMEBODY THAT STOOD UP FOR THEM AND I HAVE A HEART FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION , BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT AND HUMBLING EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND I PLEASE ASK FOR YOUR MERCY AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

NOW WE WILL MOVE TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON 2022 ANNUAL FIRST REPORTS.

[G. PUBLIC HEARING]

MR. DILKS. DR.

MISSY GLENN, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE, IS HERE TO DO THE UPDATE, ANNUAL UPDATE ON OUR SCHOOL'S FIRST RATING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT DILKS, DR.

STINSON, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

THIS IS OUR FIRST HEARING, OUR ANNUAL HEARING FOR A SCHOOL'S FIRST REPORT, STARTING WITH THE ACRONYM.

FIRST STANDS FOR THE FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS.

THIS WAS DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO SENATE BILL 875 AND AMENDED UNDER HOUSE BILL FIVE, AND OUR RATING CALCULATIONS FOR THIS YEAR FOR 2022 ARE BASED ON THE 20 2021 FISCAL YEAR DATA.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL FIRST IS TO HELP DISTRICTS TO ACHIEVE QUALITY PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF THOSE DISTRICT RESOURCES TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF THE MANAGEMENT IN TEXAS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS MEASURE AND REPORT THE EXTENT TO WHICH FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE ALLOCATED FOR THOSE DIRECT INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES.

EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF OUR FINANCIAL DECISIONS, AND THEN TO OPENLY REPORT THOSE RESULTS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

UNDER THE FIRST RATING SYSTEM, SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN EARN ONE OF FOUR RATINGS A, B, C, OR F, AND YOU'LL SEE THE SCORE CATEGORIES THERE, A BEING SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT BIRDVILLE ISD DID AGAIN RECEIVE AN A RATING OF SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT 98 OUT OF 100 POINTS.

THIS IS UP TWO POINTS FROM THE PRIOR SCORE OF 96.

BISD HAS RECEIVED THE TOP RATING EVERY YEAR SINCE THE INCEPTION OF SCHOOL FIRST.

BLESS YOU. WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS PUBLIC HEARING WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF OUR FINAL RATING.

WE DID POST THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER AS REQUIRED BY LAW ON OCTOBER 3RD.

WE ARE SCORED ON SCHOOL FIRST UNDER SEVERAL INDICATORS IN DETAIL.

REPORT OF THOSE INDICATORS WILL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE TOMORROW AT THE FOLLOWING LINK, AND THEN WE ADDITIONALLY HAVE FIVE DISCLOSURES THAT WE ALSO POST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW ASSOCIATED WITH SCHOOL.

FIRST, THOSE FIVE ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES ARE AS FOLLOWS THE SUPERINTENDENT'S EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, WHICH IS ALREADY ON THE WEBSITE.

ALL REIMBURSEMENTS RECEIVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 AND 21, OUTSIDE COMPENSATION AND OR FEES BY THE

[00:10:05]

ANY GIFTS RECEIVED BY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, BOARD MEMBERS IN THAT SAME YEAR, AND BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BOARD MEMBERS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? CONGRATULATIONS FOR MAKING IT AGAIN.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF THERE ARE NO.

OKAY, LET'S SEE HERE.

IF THERE ARE ANY PERSONS WHO ARE PRESENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING THE FIRST REPORT, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

I DECLARE THIS PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THE MEETING CLOSED.

IT DOES MAKE SENSE THAT THE FIRST REPORT IS KIND OF FIRST ON THE AGENDA.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, LET'S HEAR FROM THE TEXAS.

[H. 2022 TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS CONFERENCE RECAP]

THE ATTENDEES WILL PROVIDE A RECAP OF SOME OF THE SESSIONS THEY ATTENDED.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, AND I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND JUMP IN THERE.

IT WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THIS YEAR, SEPTEMBER 23RD THROUGH 25TH IN SAN ANTONIO FOR THE TASA/TASB CONFERENCE.

JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME PERSONALLY.

THE FIRST SESSION FEATURED JOHN GORDON AND MANY OF US KNOW HIM.

HE'S A BEST SELLING AUTHOR AND IT WAS ACTUALLY GREAT TO HEAR HIM SPEAK IN PERSON BECAUSE I'VE USED HIS WORKS IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAININGS FOR MANY YEARS, AND PARTICULARLY HIS BOOK OVER ON THE ENERGY BUS.

SO POWER OF POSITIVE LEADERSHIP, ETC..

SO IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR HIM AND REALLY KIND OF FOR ME PERSONALLY, HAD THE PLEASURE OF LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE DEFEND THE DREAM FOUNDATION THAT WAS CREATED BY MY FELLOW TEXAS LONGHORN AND FORMER KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ALL-PRO DERRICK JOHNSON.

HE FOUNDED THAT ORGANIZATION TO HELP IMPROVE LITERACY AND ACTUAL LIBRARY FUNCTIONING IN MANY INNER CITY SCHOOLS, PROVIDES NEW LIBRARY BOOKS AND ACTUALLY UPGRADES OF THOSE FACILITIES, AND THAT REALLY SPOKE TO ME AS AN EDUCATOR IN TERMS OF HOW IMPORTANT LEARNING SPACES ARE FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR AND THEIR LITERACY GAINS.

A HIGHLIGHT FOR BISD SPECIFICALLY AT THE CONFERENCE WAS SMITHFIELD ELEMENTARY AND HALTOM MIDDLE SCHOOL BEING SHOWCASED IN THE ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITS, AND THEY RECEIVED STATEWIDE RECOGNITION FOR INSTRUCTIONAL THOUGHTFULNESS AS WELL AS THE ARCHITECTURAL POTENTIAL THAT THEY SERVE.

SO I THINK TO WRAP IT UP, FOR ME, A VERY IMPORTANT TIME FOR SMALL GROUP CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE UPCOMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AND I ENJOYED THE OPPORTUNITY LEARNING WITH WITH MY BOARD.

SO IT WAS A GREAT IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.

OKAY, CHRIS, YOU WANT TO GO NOW? SO I HAD THE PRIVILEGE.

I THINK IT'S THE THIRD OR FOURTH TIME I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO THIS, AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIONAL, VERY GOOD.

I GOT TO GO TO BOTH THE GENERAL SESSIONS THAT DR.

STINSON ALREADY HAS KIND OF SUMMARIZED, WHICH WERE EXCELLENT.

I ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE DELEGATE TO THE ASSEMBLY THIS TIME, WHICH WAS ALSO VERY INFORMATIVE, VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT ALL WORKS, BUT A COUPLE OF THE SESSIONS I GOT TO GO TO, ONE OF THEM WAS ON TEACHER RETENTION, SPECIFICALLY ON HOW WE CAN RETAIN MORE FIRST YEAR TEACHERS OR TEACHERS THAT COME INTO OUR DISTRICT THROUGH LEADERSHIP COACHING IN A 101 CAPACITY, AS WELL AS ENCOURAGING SOME DISTRICT AND CAMPUS INITIATIVES TO HELP WITH ALTERNATE TEACHING CERTIFICATIONS.

I THINK WE DO PROBABLY QUITE A BIT OF THAT ALREADY.

SECOND ONE, I DID GET TO GO TO ONE THAT WAS CALLED HOW TO MOVE YOUR SCHOOL BOARD FROM OKAY TO EXCELLENT.

I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THIS ONE BECAUSE I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE AN EXCELLENT BOARD AND THEY GAVE PRETTY MUCH RECOMMENDATIONS.

WHAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING OVER-COMMUNICATE TO THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN BUILD TRUST AGAIN, OVER-COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER, SO WE CAN HAVE TRUST AMONG US HAVING A A VISION TOGETHER AND ALL OF US BEING ON THE SAME PAGE, WHICH I BELIEVE WE TEND TO BE.

BUT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, IT DID ENCOURAGE ME TO BE THE BEST BOARD MEMBER THAT I CAN BE.

IF EACH OF US WORKS TO BE THE VERY BEST BOARD MEMBER OR TEAM MEMBER THAT WE CAN BE, THAT OUR BOARD, OF COURSE, WILL BE ELEVATED TO EVEN A HIGHER DEGREE.

ONE INTERESTING IDEA ALSO WAS NEW BOARD MENTORSHIP.

SO IF WE HAVE A NEW BOARD MEMBER TO ACTUALLY ASSIGN ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER THAT'S BEEN THERE A LITTLE LONGER TO HELP MENTOR THEM ALONG, I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING AND MAYBE SOMETHING WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE IF WE HAVE ANY MORE NEW BOARD MEMBERS.

PROBABLY MY FAVORITE SESSION I WENT TO WAS ONE CALLED MEASURE WHAT MATTERS.

[00:15:02]

THEY HIGHLIGHTED VERY CLEARLY AND VERY EVIDENTLY HOW THE CURRENT GRADING SYSTEM IS BROKEN, THAT INSTEAD OF GRADING CAMPUSES ON HOW WELL THEY EDUCATE CHILDREN, WHAT IT'S GRADING IS OR WHAT IT'S REVEALING REALLY IS SIMPLY THE AT RISK LEVEL OF EACH SCHOOL RATHER THAN HOW GOOD THE CAMPUS IS DOING AT EDUCATING CHILDREN.

THEY POINTED OUT HOW THE SYSTEM WE HAVE IN PLACE NOW OVER EMPHASIZES THE STAAR.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS GREAT.

WE NEED ACCOUNTABILITY, BUT IS STAAR NECESSARILY AND HAVING THAT MUCH WEIGHT NECESSARILY THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT? ALSO, HOW IT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON CHILDREN.

I'VE SEEN THAT MYSELF.

ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS CAME HOME THIS MORNING OR FROM SCHOOL THIS AFTERNOON, I SHOULD SAY, CRYING BECAUSE SHE HAD DONE BAD ON A MATH TEST.

SO TESTS I KNOW ARE REALLY DO PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE STUDENTS.

THEY SAID AND I THINK THEY'RE RIGHT THAT IT EXCLUDES THE GRADING SYSTEM, EXCLUDES A LOT OF HIGH QUALITY INDICATORS THAT WE COULD USE, AND THEY DID GIVE SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS OR WAYS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ENCOURAGE THE LEGISLATURE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SYSTEM.

THOSE WERE I MEAN, REMOVING ALL THE HIGH STAKES CONSEQUENCES, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STAAR TO KIND OF COINCIDE WITH THE FEDERAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS, EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF A THROUGH F ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS TO INCLUDE FACTORS BEYOND JUST STAR FACTORS SUCH AS EXTRACURRICULARS, STEPS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN FOR TEACHER RETENTION, AS WELL AS JUST MANY OTHER INDICATORS.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO TO THE WEBSITE, I'M SURE, AND SEE IT THERE, BUT ALSO USING MAYBE GRADING MORE THAN JUST THE DISTRICT, BUT GRADING VARIOUS DOMAINS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, WITHIN EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL AS WELL.

SO A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS.

I DO THINK OUR SYSTEM IS BROKEN.

I'M NOT SURE IF THESE IDEAS WILL NECESSARILY FIX IT, BUT IT'S A GOOD WAY.

IF YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH RAISE YOUR HAND TEXAS.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO HELP ADVOCATE FOR SOME SOLUTIONS.

SO INTERESTING TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, RALPH, JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THREE SESSIONS ALL DAY FRIDAY, ALL DAY, SATURDAY, HALF DAY, SUNDAY IS WHAT I ATTENDED IN IN SAN ANTONIO, AND I GOT ZERO MEXICAN FOOD.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT.

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET ANY.

THE FIRST SESSION ON FRIDAY MORNING AT 7:30 WAS THE 88TH LEGISLATURE PREVIEW FROM THE TASA/TASB ATTORNEYS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE HEARING, BILLS THAT THEY ANTICIPATE GETTING FILED AND SO FORTH.

THE KEY TOPICS THAT THEY KIND OF FOCUSED ON WAS THE BUDGET SURPLUS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TAP INTO THAT SURPLUS.

HOW MUCH OF IT, IF ANY, IS PUBLIC EDUCATION GOING TO ENJOY? DON'T KNOW.

SCHOOL SAFETY? THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH SCHOOL SAFETY.

THERE MAY BE SOME BILLS.

REGARDING SCHOOL SAFETY AND IN PUTTING ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SAFETY PERSONNEL ON CAMPUSES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IF SO, HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE PAID FOR? THEY WERE ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

PROPERTY TAX RELIEF.

EVERYBODY'S HOPING FOR MORE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF, PERHAPS EVEN BUYING DOWN M&O TAXES WITH SOME OF THE SURPLUS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL, BUT SOMETHING THAT IS A WHAT IF THE TEACHER EDUCATION EDUCATOR SHORTAGE THE TEACHER VACANCY TASK FORCE ALL OF THAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME OF THAT IN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION WE'LL SEE SCHOOL VOUCHERS SCHOOL CHOICE THEY THEY GAVE THE TERM PARENTAL CHOICE IS KIND OF THE NEW TERM THAT THEY'RE USING BECAUSE IT'S MORE POSITIVE, I GUESS, PARENTAL CHOICE RATHER THAN THOSE VOUCHERS AND SCHOOL CHOICE THAT IS GOING TO HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

SO IT WAS JUST LOOKING AT THAT SESSION AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN THAT WE'LL ALL BE LOOKING FOR STARTING IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

THE SECOND SESSION I'LL TALK ABOUT WAS 7:30 A.M.

ON SATURDAY MORNING.

THIS WAS THE CHILD SEX ABUSE TRAINING CHILD ADVOCACY CENTERS.

I THINK SOME REPRESENTATIVES FROM THOSE WERE TALKING ABOUT CHILD SEX ABUSE, THE WORST TOPIC YOU CAN EVER HAVE EARLY ON A SATURDAY MORNING, STATISTICS THAT THEY SHARED WAS THAT 90% OF THOSE WHO ARE SEXUALLY ABUSED KNOW THEIR ABUSER.

THAT'S NOT A SURPRISE.

[00:20:01]

THEY SAID ONE OUT OF TEN OF TEXAS CHILDREN ARE SEXUALLY ABUSED BY AGE 18.

10% OF CHILDREN GET SEXUALLY ABUSED, AND I'M SURE THESE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE COUNSELORS AND OUR EDUCATORS DEAL WITH ON A DAY BY DAY BASIS OUT OF THE 250 TEXAS COUNTIES, MOST OF THEM, I THINK 206 OF THEM HAVE CHILD ADVOCACY CENTERS, AND I'M SURE THAT OUR PROFESSIONALS KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THOSE ARE IN TARRANT COUNTY.

OUR SCHOOLS DO PARTNER.

THERE ARE REQUIRED SIGNAGE ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES REGARDING TEXAS TECH, THE CHILD ABUSE HOTLINES, THE 800 NUMBERS, THE TRAFFICKING, ALL OF THAT AND THESE CHILD ADVOCACY CENTERS ARE REALLY, REALLY DOING GOD'S WORK.

THEIR GOAL IS TO END CHILD ABUSE IN TEXAS, AND WE NEED TO SHOULDER THEM ON THAT EFFORT, AND THEN THE LAST THING I'LL TALK ABOUT IS MIKE MCGRATH'S KIND OF LECTURE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY, HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT TEACHER AND EDUCATOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION AND HOW THE CHALLENGES ARE THERE WITH SO MANY DISTRICTS, AND SO MANY DISTRICTS ARE FOCUSING ON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TODAY, BEING THE EDUCATORS OF TOMORROW AND EVEN TRACKING THEM AND MENTORING THEM THROUGH THE FOUR OR FIVE YEARS BEFORE THEY COULD COME BACK TO YOU TO BE A TEACHER, AND WE'RE DOING THAT WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER PROGRAM. WHAT'S IT CALLED? YEAH, BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE A FOCUS OF ALL DISTRICTS, AND IT IS A LONG TERM ANSWER THAT THEY ARE THE EDUCATORS OF TOMORROW. A LOT OF TALK ABOUT LEARNING GAPS FROM COMMISSIONER MORATH AND HOW STRIDES ARE ATTEMPTING TO BE MADE, AND HE SAID THAT OVER 200 HIGH SCHOOLS IN TEXAS NOW STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL CAN GRADUATE WITH AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. WE, OF COURSE, HAVE OUR HIGH SCHOOL THAT HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A GROWING FAD IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.

IT'S A GROWING OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS ACROSS TEXAS THAT OVER 200 HIGH SCHOOLS NOW OFFER THAT.

AND THE LAST THING THAT HE TALKED ABOUT WAS THE NEW A THROUGH F DEFINITIONS THAT ARE COMING IN THE FALL THAT CHRIS TOUCHED ON THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING ON AS FAR AS WHEN THOSE GET PUBLISHED, BUT YES, IT WAS A GOOD TIME.

JOE. YEAH, AND FOR THOSE THAT KNOW NO, BUT ONE OF THE MOST TELLING THINGS WAS THE END OF [INAUDIBLE] LECTURE, WHATEVER YOU CALL THAT NOBODY EVEN BOTHERED ASKING A QUESTION THAT SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF THE INTEREST IN WHAT HE WAS SAYING. SO HE'S ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING REQUIREMENT THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO GO TO ON A POLITICAL SIDE ON THAT TOPIC, I REALLY WISH THAT THEY WOULD MAKE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR OUR STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE DOING THAT.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY THE BOARD HAS TO GO THROUGH THAT, BUT I DO SEE IT BEING A REQUIREMENT FOR THE PROPER STAFF.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY.

THAT'S JUST ONE MORE THING THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO.

THE HOT TOPICS IN HR, THERE WERE A LOT OF THOSE.

I'LL JUST HIT THE ONES THAT HIT ME.

ALL OUR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, WE SAY, HEY, IF THE IF THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO HAVE WORKERS AROUND STUDENTS, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO FINGERPRINT AND THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE FBI FOR THAT FINGERPRINT DATABASE, AND THE FBI TURNED THAT OFF.

CONTRACTORS CAN NO LONGER ACCESS THE FBI FINGERPRINT DATABASE ANYMORE.

SCHOOLS CAN, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE QUESTION WAS, CAN WE START FINGERPRINTING EMPLOYEES, SUBCONTRACTORS OF SUBCONTRACTORS, AND DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? AND THAT'S A MESS, AND THEN AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF SCHOOLS HAVE VIRTUAL TUTORS, AND NOW SO SOME PEOPLE HAVE SHUT DOWN THE VIRTUAL TUTORS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FINGERPRINT THEM EITHER BECAUSE THEY'RE AROUND THE COUNTRY.

SO IT'S A MESS.

NOBODY SAW THE FBI DOING IT.

I'M SURE THEY HAD SOME GOOD REASON FOR DOING THAT, BUT EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO NOW IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT WE DO NEED TO HAVE SOME ADEQUATE BACKGROUND SEARCHES ON SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO STUDENTS, AND THEN ONE GOOD WAY TO DO THAT HAS BEEN CUT OFF.

ALSO, I'M NOT SAYING YAY OR NAY.

IT'S JUST A HOT TOPIC.

THERE IS YOU CAN OPT-OUT OF TRS ACTIVE CARE NOW AS OF SEPTEMBER ONE THAT COMES INTO EFFECT.

[00:25:02]

THAT USED TO BE A TRAP SITUATION WHERE YOU COULDN'T GET OUT OF IT IF YOU WANTED TO.

AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT EMPLOYEE SURVEYS, OBVIOUSLY THE COVID PROBLEMS THAT CAME UP DURING THE SURVEYS BY AND LARGE, MANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS WERE ONES THAT COULDN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND HALF OF THE HR PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING RETENTION AND TURNOVER OBVIOUSLY IS KEY NOW.

THERE WAS SOME LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

NOW WITH COVID RESTRICTIONS BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE IN OUR REARVIEW MIRROR, THERE WERE SOME HOPE THAT SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WERE DISCUSSED MIGHT MIGHT BE FIXABLE.

NOW THAT WE'VE GOT SOME WAYS TO DO THAT WHERE WE'RE NOT UNDER THE COVID PROTOCOLS, LEGISLATION, I WENT TO THE SAME SESSION, BUT A DIFFERENT TIME THAN RALPH WENT TO. THE INTERIM HEARINGS ARE OUT THERE.

THEY'VE GOT TO ALL REPORT BY DECEMBER 31ST.

SO THE TEACHER TASK FORCE, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT, SCHOOL SAFETY, THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY ALL HAVE TO PUT IN THEIR INTERIM REPORTS BY DECEMBER 31ST AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME A LITTLE BIT BETTER IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.

ONE THING THAT JUST SHOCKED ME AND AGAIN, IS JUST DOES NOT MAKE THE NEWSPAPER RIGHT NOW, THE SCHOOL SAFETY ALLOTMENT PER CHILD IS LESS THAN $10 A STUDENT.

WE GET LESS THAN $10 A STUDENT FOR OUR SCHOOL SAFETY ALLOTMENT, AND I WISH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, AND I WAS SITTING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, AND SO THINGS LIKE UVALDE HAPPENED AND THEN YOU LOOK DOWN AND YOU GO, OH, WELL, THE STATE'S GIVEN US $9.72 FOR EVERY TWO STUDENTS IN THERE.

IF MONEY IS INDICATIVE OF WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT, IT'S $9.72 A STUDENT PER YEAR, FOR SCHOOL SAFETY.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

ALSO SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING ABOUT MORE AND MORE IN THE FUTURE.

I THINK IT'S NOT JUST ME, BUT BUT THEY WERE SAYING IS THE TEXAS SCHOOL SAFETY CENTER.

RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF AUTHORITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF REPORTS BEING TURNED INTO THEM, AND ACTUALLY SOME DISTRICTS, OVER 200 HAD NOT TURNED IN THEIR PLANS THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY TEETH OR ANY POWER AT THIS POINT, BUT THEY SUSPECT THAT AT THIS NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THEY WILL BE HIGHLY FUNDED.

THEY'LL EMPLOY QUITE A FEW NEW PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET SOME POWERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SOME THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION IN TEXAS THAT'S DEDICATED TOWARD SCHOOL SAFETY.

AGAIN, THEY TALKED ABOUT THEY THINK A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING TO START TRYING TO COME IN UNDER WHAT'S GOING TO BE CALLED A PARENTAL BILL OF RIGHTS.

SOME THINGS THAT YOU WOULD THINK OF, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, STUDENT DATA NOT BEING SOLD OFF TO OTHERS WITHOUT THE PARENT'S CONSENT AND OTHER THINGS THAT I WON'T GET INTO BECAUSE IT'D BE KIND OF POLITICAL MIGHT FALL UNDERNEATH THAT.

THERE'S ALSO SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT VIRTUAL EDUCATION AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE.

SCHOOLS GETTING THE VERY IMPORTANT WATER ALLOCATION FOR THEIR MONEY AND ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

ONE OF THE MOST I'M SORRY, WENT INTO WENT INTO ONE ON DEPRESSION AND THOSE TYPE OF ISSUES, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD IT'S HARD TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE STATS DURING COVID AND POST COVID FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT YOU GOT TO HEAR THEM.

HOPE SQUAD, WHICH WAS BORN RIGHT HERE IN OUR AREA.

IN FACT, THE ELIZABETH HARRIS FOUNDATION IS HAVING THEIR LUNCHEON ON THE 10TH OF NOVEMBER , AND SO THE HOPE SQUAD WAS STARTED RIGHT HERE.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE WAYS THEY WERE DOING IT.

THE LAST ONE, WHICH I HOPE TO SAY THIS IN A POSITIVE WAY, THERE WAS A TEAM OF REALLY SMART.

THEY ALL HAPPEN TO BE FEMALE PRESENTERS.

THEY WERE THEY WERE ALL SMART, VERY, VERY INTELLIGENT, SOMETIMES AT THESE THINGS YOU GET YOU GET A BIASED REPORT FROM THE FROM THE PRESENTERS THIS I THOUGHT THESE LADIES DID A NICE JOB OF TRYING TO COVER BOTH SIDES BUT I WILL TELL YOU THEY GOT, AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO SAY YES OR NO.

I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CROWD WAS A MIX OF ALL DIVERSE ACROSS ALL OF TEXAS FROM ALL SCHOOLS, BIG, SMALL, ALL ETHNICITIES.

THEY STARTED TALKING ABOUT TITLE NINE TRANS RIGHTS AS FAR AS SPORTS, AS FAR AS BATHROOMS, AS FAR AS THOSE THINGS THAT THE PRESENTERS ALMOST HAD TO SHUT THE HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN.

THE CROWD WAS YELLING.

THEY WERE UPSET. THEY WERE ANGRY AT SOME OF THE THINGS THEY THOUGHT WERE GOING TO START HAPPENING OR ARE HAPPENING.

ANYWAY. THEY SHUT IT DOWN, BUT IT WAS ANYWAY, THAT'S NOT A THAT'S NOT A TOPIC THAT PEOPLE HANDLE REAL WELL.

SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS THAT WAS THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I THINK I'VE EVER BEEN AT ONE WHERE I WAS KIND OF AFRAID FOR THE PRESENTERS TO WALK OUT.

SO ANYWAY, THANKS.

[00:30:01]

[I.1. Design Development Phase for the Shannon High School Renovations at the Denton Highway Property [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]

KATIE BOWMAN.

YES, SIR. WE HAVE IRENE [INAUDIBLE], OUR ARCHITECT.

SHE'S A LITTLE INJURED, BUT SHE IS HERE READY TO DO HER PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT DILKS, DR.

STINSON, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE NEW SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER AT THE DENTON HIGHWAY PROPERTY.

SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER THREE MAJOR COMPONENTS TONIGHT.

ONE IS THE NEW TEA SCHOOL FACILITY STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE GOING INTO EFFECT AND ARE GOING TO IMPACT YOUR BOND IF IT PASSES THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FOR SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER AND WHEN I DO THAT, I'M GOING TO REFLECT ON EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS AS WELL AS COMPLIANCE METHODOLOGY TO THE NUMBER ONE, AND THEN WE'LL OPEN IT FOR QUESTIONS.

SO THE TEA SCHOOL FACILITY STANDARDS WERE CREATED TO ENSURE THAT THERE WERE MINIMUM SPACE STANDARDS AND PROVISIONS FOR ALL TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

THEY INCLUDE INFORMATION TO REALLY LINK LEARNING TO AND PEDAGOGY TO FACILITIES SO THAT INSTRUCTION DRIVES THE CONSTRUCTION.

THEY APPLIED TO ALL NEW AND RENOVATED FACILITIES, AND THEY ARE UPDATED REGULARLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE RELEVANT AND THEY KEEP UP WITH THE CHANGES IN INSTRUCTION.

SO JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT WERE FIRST ISSUED AND SEPTEMBER 1ST OF 1992 AND THEY HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOUR TIMES AND THIS LAST UPDATE WENT INTO EFFECT ON NOVEMBER 1ST OF 2021.

SO IT AFFECTS YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CALL TRIGGER EVENTS, WHICH ARE THE REASONS WHY YOU WOULD HAVE TO ADJUST AND COMPLY WITH THESE, AND OBVIOUSLY ITEM B, WHICH IS YOU CALL THE BOND ELECTION WITH MORE THAN ONE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

SO THEREFORE THAT IS A TRIGGER EVENT THAT IS REQUIRING BIRDVILLE ISD TO COMPLY WITH THESE NEW STANDARDS.

BONDS THAT WERE PASSED IN NOVEMBER AND MAY OF LAST YEAR DID NOT HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THESE.

SO THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 2004, WHICH IS THE LAST UPDATE AND NOW INCLUDE FIRST LANGUAGE AND LONG RANGE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN, IT REQUIRES THAT YOU FORMULATE THAT, WHEREAS BEFORE IT WAS AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOU TO DO IT.

OBVIOUSLY, AS A DISTRICT, YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS, SO YOU'RE ALREADY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CHANGE.

THE SECOND ONE WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE CREATION OF EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS, AND THAT ONCE YOU HAVE THOSE THAT YOU UPDATE THOSE EVERY FIVE YEARS, YOU ALREADY IN THE 2018 BOND HAD CREATED ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS, AND FOR THIS 2022 BOND, YOU WOULD HAVE TO CREATE NEW ONES FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AS WELL AS GRADE SPECIALIZED ONES FOR A SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT SUCH AS SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK THOSE HAVE BEEN SHARED AND I KNOW THEY'RE IN HERE. WE CAN SHOW SOME IMAGES OF THOSE, IF THAT HELPS, BUT I THINK THOSE HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH YOU.

THE BIGGEST AND MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE ON THE TEA STANDARDS IS HOW DO YOU DETERMINE CLASSROOM CALCULATION AND MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE PER STUDENT.

IN 2004, THERE WERE PRESCRIPTIVE METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE SIZE OF CLASSROOMS. SO FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS UP TO FOURTH GRADE, IT HAS TO BE 800 SQUARE FEET, AND THEN FROM THAT POINT FORWARD OF 700 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM, AND THAT APPLIED TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS. NOW YOU HAVE TO SELECT A COMPLIANCE METHODOLOGY IN ORDER TO CALCULATE HOW MANY WHAT THE MINIMUM AGGREGATE SQUARE FOOTAGE PER STUDENT IS, AND THE TWO CALCULATION OPTIONS ARE NUMBER ONE, QUALITATIVE, AND THE QUALITATIVE COMPLIANCE APPLIES TO BUILDINGS OR FACILITIES THAT HAVE AN INNOVATIVE OR A DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY MODEL THAT MANAGES STUDENT CAPACITY DIFFERENTLY.

SO IT MIGHT ALLOW YOU TO FIT MORE STUDENTS OR LESS STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU'RE USING THE BUILDING, AND YOU HAVE AS A BOARD TO HAVE APPROVED THAT INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY MODEL IN ORDER TO ADOPT THIS METHODOLOGY.

THE SECOND ONE IS QUANTITATIVE, AND TO THAT IT JUST SAYS THAT YOU CAN YOU HAVE A MINIMUM AGGREGATE SQUARE FOOTAGE PER STUDENT AND YOU JUST COUNT ALL THE SPACES THAT THEY LIST IN THERE AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR CAPACITY, AND THAT TELLS YOU HOW MANY STUDENTS YOU CAN HAVE IN A BUILDING.

YOU ACTUALLY CAN SELECT ONE METHODOLOGY FOR ALL YOUR PROJECTS IN THE BOND AND TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO FOLLOW THIS WAY, OR YOU CAN DO IT ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS, AND I THINK AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND IN THE EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS, WE'VE INCLUDED THE RECOMMENDATION TO GO IN A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY OF TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE BUILDING.

[00:35:03]

THERE WERE NO CHANGES FROM 2004, AS WELL AS THE GYMNASIUM, AND JUST TO POINT IT OUT, AS A DISTRICT, YOU EXCEED THOSE MINIMUM FACILITY STANDARDS, AND AGAIN, I HAVE TO STRESS THERE ARE MINIMUM FACILITY STANDARDS, AND THEREFORE, YOU'VE DONE MORE IN THE PAST FOR THOSE SPACES.

SCIENCE LABS DID INCREASE AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL FROM 900 TO 1100 SQUARE FEET.

SO YOUR NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WOULD HAVE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THEIR SCIENCE LABS, AND THEN AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE SCIENCE LABS ALSO INCREASED FROM 1200 SQUARE FEET TO 1400 SQUARE FEET, BUT I HAVE TO POINT OUT, YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS CURRENTLY, LIKE HALTOM, RICHL AND NORTH RICHLAND MIDDLE, ALREADY EXCEED THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE PER STUDENT.

SPECIAL EDUCATION ALSO GREW FROM 40 SQUARE FEET PER STUDENT TO 45, AND AGAIN, ALL YOUR SPACES FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION EXCEED THAT AS IT IS.

SO THERE'S REALLY NO IMPACT OF THE DISTRICT ON THOSE CHANGES.

YOU'RE ALSO NOW REQUIRED TO INCLUDE SAFETY AND SECURITY INFORMATION AND YOUR EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS, AND AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, THAT'S NEW TOTALLY TO THE NEW STANDARDS.

SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MULTI HAZARD PLAN THAT ADDRESSES VISITOR MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATIONS FROM OBVIOUSLY FROM EVERY PART OF THE BUILDING BACK TO THE FRONT OFFICE SECURITY CAMERA LOCATIONS AS WELL AS DOOR DESIGNATION AND IDENTIFICATION, WHICH AGAIN, YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS.

SO EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS YOU'RE ALREADY DOING, YOU HAVE A MULTI HAZARD PLAN THAT YOU'VE ADOPTED.

SO AGAIN, YOU'RE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THIS AS IT IS.

SO FOR SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL, AS I MENTIONED, YOU HAVE TO APPROVE AS PART OF YOUR ACTION ITEM TODAY THE EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS AGENDA ITEM. NUMBER TWO, WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU APPROVE THE QUALITATIVE COMPLIANCE FOR SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOU HAVE THIS IS YOUR BLENDED LEARNING MODEL SCHOOL.

SO IT HAS AN INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY MODEL THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ALLOCATE CAPACITY DIFFERENTLY.

AS WE STARTED THIS DEVELOPMENT.

I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH A LOT OF THE STAFF AT THE CAMPUS AND CENTRAL DISTRICT STAFF, AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GARNER A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT MADE THE PROCESS A LOT EASIER FOR US SO THAT WE CAN REALLY CUSTOMIZE THE NEW DESIGN TO THE DISTRICT.

SO HERE IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE DENTON HIGHWAY PROPERTY, AND IF YOU SEE IT, YEAH, WE HAVE DENTON HIGHWAY ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE, AND THEN THE INTERSECTION WHERE THE LIGHT IS, IS HERE IS STANLEY KELLER ROAD.

WE'RE SHOWING RIGHT NOW THAT WE WOULD SEPARATE THE PARKING AREA FROM THE BUILDING BY CREATING A CONTINUOUS LOOP THAT COULD BE USED FOR FIRE, IT COULD BE USED FOR BUS DROP OFF, ETC. SO THAT AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES WITH CARS BACKING INTO THAT DRIVEWAY.

THE WHOLE TIME WE WOULD HAVE THE DROP OFF ENTRANCE FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS COMING IN HERE AT THE CENTER OF THE PARKING AREA, AND WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 421 PARKING SPACES ON SITE. SO IT'S MORE THAN WHAT THE CAMPUS IS NEED.

WE WOULD HAVE THIS AGAIN, CONTINUOUS BUS LUBE, FIRE LANE.

IT ALSO COULD BE USED FOR DELIVERIES GETTING TO THE KITCHEN BACK HERE.

SO THERE'S A CONTINUOUS CLEAR LOOP THAT ALLOWS US CARS TO DO THERE.

ALSO FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING, THAT ARE GOING NORTHBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT CAN COME AND ALSO ENTER THIS WAY AND ENTER THE PARKING HERE AS WELL AS THERE'S NOT THAT MANY BUSSES THAT SERVE SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL.

WE WANTED TO POINT OUT THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL WOULD BE IN THIS CORNER, WHICH IS IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BUILDING, THERE'S A FEW TOWERS ALREADY.

SO WE'RE USING THAT TOWER.

WE COULD USE THIS SECONDARY ENTRANCE FOR DROP OFF AND PICK UP FOR BUSSES.

THE SMALLER TOWER ON THE RIGHT OR WOULD BE USED FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER AND THEN THE ONE IN THE BACK WOULD BE ACCESSING THE CAMPUS' OMNI ROOM, WHICH IS THEIR MEETING ROOM FOR THEM TO USE.

WE HAVE SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ON SITE, LIKE WE'LL BE DOING AN OUTDOOR PLAY AREA AND GARDEN THAT WILL SERVE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER, AND THEN LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE A SERVICE AREA IN THE BACK FOR ACCESS TO THE KITCHEN.

MR. PRESIDENT, GOOD QUESTION.

YES, VERY QUICKLY. IF I'M A PARENT OF A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN CHILD THAT I HAVE MY VAN AND I PULL UP, HOW AM I GETTING HOW AM I GETTING MY CHILD IN ON A RAINY DAY WITHOUT GETTING RAINED ON? SO THERE'S TWO OPTIONS COMING IN HERE.

THIS THIS WHOLE THING THAT YOU SEE AROUND THE PERIMETER, THIS IS A COVERED AREA.

DO I GET TO COME IN THE FIRE LINE, BUS LOOP? YES, YOU CAN COME IN HERE.

THAT'S NOT JUST A BUS LOOP.

NO, EXACTLY. BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF BUSSES SERVING THIS.

SO, AGAIN, YOU WOULD BE COMING HERE, DROPPING OFF THE STUDENT EITHER HERE AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OR YOU HAVE A SECONDARY ENTRANCE OVER HERE SO THAT I'M USED TO LIKE SMITHVILLE

[00:40:07]

IT'S A DIFFERENT FACILITY.

IT'S NOT USED THE SAME BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF BUSSES, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO SEPARATE AND CREATE A LOOP THAT WAS CONTINUOUS, AGAIN, TO MOVE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH AND COORDINATE THAT. THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

OOPS. SO THIS IS THE OVERALL FLOOR PLAN AND I'LL DRILL DOWN AND SOME OF THE AREAS, BUT AGAIN, YOU COME IN THIS ENTRANCE , THIS WOULD BE THE MAIN ENTRY FOR SHANNON AT THE OTHER END OF THE BUILDING, YOU HAVE THE MAIN ENTRANCE FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER, AND THEN BACK HERE YOU WOULD HAVE THAT OMNI ROOM ENTRANCE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, THE CENTER PORTION IS THAT LARGE, TALL VOLUME, WHICH IS 65 FEET TALL.

SO THIS IS WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING DOING IS A TWO STORY CLASSROOM AREA, AS WELL AS PLACING THE GYM AND CAFETERIA SO WE CAN BENEFIT FROM THE HIGHER VOLUME.

GO INTO DETAIL.

OKAY, SO COMING INTO THE ENTRANCE SIDE, SHANNON, YOU WOULD COME INTO A SECURE INTERVENTION BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU ACCESS TO THE RECEPTION.

WE HAVE A CONFERENCE ROOM, A VISITOR RESTROOM, AS WELL AS THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY ACCESSIBLE FOR THAT RECEPTION.

SO THAT'S WHERE MOST PARENTS WILL BE COMING.

ONCE YOU'VE BEEN BUZZED INTO THE SCHOOL, THEN YOU GAIN ACCESS TO THE HALLWAY TO GO INTO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

WE HAVE A DOOR HERE THAT WILL BE SECURED ALL THE TIME, BUT THEN WE'VE ADDED A SECONDARY DOOR HERE SINCE THE CLINIC IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK.

THAT IS THE NEXT LOCATION THAT WE SEE PARENTS MAY BE NEEDING ACCESS TO THE BUILDING, SO WE WANTED TO SEPARATE THE REST OF THE OFFICES FROM THAT SO THAT THEY CAN'T GAIN ACCESS INTO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

THE CLINIC IS ALSO ACCESSIBLE FROM THE HALLWAY FOR STUDENTS COMING TO THE CLINIC, AND ATTENDANCE ALSO HAS A WINDOW SO STUDENTS CAN CHECK IN AND DO GO INTO ATTENDANCE WITHOUT HAVING TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE ADMINISTRATION AREA.

AS YOU CONTINUE DOWN THE HALLWAY, YOU HAVE THE PRINCIPAL AND THE DEAN OF STUDENTS.

YOU HAVE A CONFERENCE ROOM, AND THEN AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY, YOU HAVE A THE COUNSELOR SUITE, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY LOCATED ADJACENT TO ADMINISTRATION, AND THEN WE HAVE THE SRO OFFICE IN THE CORNER, WHICH IS ADJACENT WHERE MOST OF THE CLASSROOMS ARE.

SO THEY'RE THERE TO MONITOR THAT SPACE.

WE HAVE SOME A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CENTER FOR THE CAMPUS, AS WELL AS TESTING ROOMS FOR THE CAMPUS RIGHT HERE, BOYS AND GIRLS RESTROOMS. AND THEN WE HAVE THE MAIN ELECTIVES IN THE BACK, WHICH WOULD BE THREE CTE LABS, TWO OF THEM BEING DESIGNED MAINLY FOR TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEY'RE FLEXIBLE SO THEY CAN CHANGE AS NEEDED AND A MATERIALS LAB WHICH WILL HAVE WATER.

SO IT ALLOWS THEM TO DO HEALTH SCIENCES AND OTHER OFFERINGS AS WELL.

THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO AN OVERHEAD DOOR THAT LEADS TO AN OUTSIDE PATIO IF THEY NEED TO DO WELDING OR OTHER ACTIVITIES.

ART IS ADJACENT TO THAT AND AGAIN, ART WOULD BE DESIGNED SO THAT IT COULD IT COULD BE ART, IT COULD BE DRAMA, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE NEED IS AT THE CAMPUS AT THE TIME, AND THEY ALSO HAVE AN ART PATIO.

THERE'S THIS BACK CORNER OF THE BUILDING WE'RE CREATING THE OMNI ROOM FOR THE CAMPUS, AND IT'S ALSO IT HAS ITS OWN ENTRANCE FROM THE BACK SO THAT IF YOU NEEDED TO USE IT FOR ANY COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, YOU ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

THIS WOULD ALL HAVE ITS OWN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND BE TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF THE BUILDING, IN CASE YOU WANTED TO USE THAT SEPARATELY.

BACK IN THIS CORNER, WE HAVE A TEACHER'S WORKROOM.

THE CLASSROOMS ARE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT HERE, AND I'LL SHARE THAT IN A MINUTE WITH RESTROOMS, AND THEN WE HAVE LOCKER ROOMS WHICH SERVE THE GYMNASIUM, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE.

WE ALSO HAVE A RECEIVING AREA FOR CUSTODIAN IN THE BACK.

AGAIN, LOOKING AT THAT, THIS IS THAT AREA WHERE WHERE THESE ARE THOSE LOCKER ROOMS THAT SERVE THE GYMNASIUM.

THE GYMNASIUM SEATS 125.

IT ALSO WILL SERVE AS A STORM SHELTER FOR THE BUILDING.

SO THE TORNADO SHELTER.

SO IT HAS THEIR OWN SET OF RESTROOMS WITHIN IT AS A P.E.

OFFICE AS WELL AS A FITNESS ROOM, AND THEN RIGHT ABOVE THE FITNESS ROOM WILL BE THE MECHANICAL ROOM THAT SERVES THAT SHELTER, THE CAFETERIA IMMEDIATELY, IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT WITH THE STAGE. SO IT'S REALLY MORE OF A CAFETERIA WITH A FULL KITCHEN IN THE BACK.

FOR IF YOU HAVE ASSEMBLIES, YOU CAN FIT OVER 300 STUDENTS IN THAT SPACE, AND FOR NORMAL, EVERYDAY DINING WOULD BE ABOUT 170.

THE MAIN CLASSROOM AREA IS HERE IN THE FRONT AND WE WOULD HAVE DOORS THAT REMAIN LOCKED DURING THE DAY, BUT THEY WOULD OPEN DURING CHANGING CLASSES, BUT THOSE WOULD BE CARD READERS, A LIMITED ACCESS TO THEM, AND THEN ALL THE CLASSROOMS ARE ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THIS SPACE AS WELL AS THE LIBRARY AT THE END, AND THE LIBRARY HAS A MAKER SPACE THAT OPENS UP INTO THE MAIN SPACE AND WE HAVE A COLLABORATION SPACE IN THE MIDDLE AND WE HAVE A HUDDLE ROOMS AND OFFICES AND SPACES IN THE SPACE IN THE MIDDLE THAT CAN BE USED BY ADMINISTRATORS OR ITINERANT PROFESSIONALS OR EVEN THE STUDENTS AS THEY'RE COMING INTO THE CAMPUS.

[00:45:05]

IT'S ACTUALLY THE SPECIAL ED PROGRAM RIGHT NOW.

THE STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE TRANSITION ACADEMY SELL SNACKS AND SUPPLIES TO THE SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

SO THIS WILL BE THEIR SPACE TO STORE THEIR ITEMS AND STILL CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS PART OF THEIR TRAINING AND EDUCATION.

MOVING INTO THE EXCUSE ME, SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER.

AGAIN, YOU WOULD COME INTO THE RIGHT SECURE VESTIBULE THAT GAINS ACCESS TO RECEPTION IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE A CONFERENCE ROOM RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S OFFICES IMMEDIATELY LOOKING OUT TO THE PARKING AREA, AND THEN WE HAVE A LARGE BULLPEN AREA.

SO, AGAIN, AS YOU HAVE STAFF THAT COMES INTO THIS CAMPUS DURING THE DAY TO, YOU KNOW, DO DIFFERENT DUTIES, THEY HAVE A SPACE WHERE THEY CAN TOUCH DOWN AND DO THEIR WORK.

WE HAVE A RESOURCE ROOM WHICH COULD BE USED AS A LIBRARY OR ANY KIND OF ROOM FOR ANY OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OVER HERE, AND THE DARKER GREEN IS THE TRANSITION ACADEMY.

SO THIS INCLUDES THAT THEY HAVE CLASSROOM AND THE STRUCTURED EMPLOYMENT AND THE EMPLOYMENT LAB AS WELL AS THE SHOP WHICH THE STUDENTS RUN, AND THOSE THESE ARE THE STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE SELLING TO THE KIDS AT SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS SELLING TO THE EXTERIOR.

REACHING OUT TO THE BACK.

THEN YOU HAVE THE BEHAVIOR ACADEMY.

SO THESE ARE THE THREE TEAMS ROOMS, ONE ELEMENTARY, ONE MIDDLE, ONE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN THREE LOW INCIDENT BEHAVIOR ROOMS, THE SAME ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, TWO MOTOR LABS. AND THEN THIS IS THAT DOOR THAT ALSO GAINS ACCESS TO OUTSIDE FOR DROP OFF OR EVEN FOR THE PLAYGROUND AREA, WHICH IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE.

THE STUDENTS FROM THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER HAVE ACCESS TO THIS DOOR TO GO TO THE GYMNASIUM AND THROUGH THIS DOOR TO GO TO THE CAFETERIA AS WELL.

SO THEY THE GYM AND CAFETERIA ARE SHARED FACILITIES BETWEEN THE TWO.

THE SECOND FLOOR IS ALL CLASSROOMS. AGAIN, WE HAVE A SET OF DOORS THAT WE LOCK HERE AND A SET OF DOORS THAT LOCKS HERE TO KEEP THIS AREA SEPARATE DURING THE DAY.

WE HAVE THE TWO SCIENCE LABS ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND THE SCIENCE LAB HAS GLASS WINDOWS SO THAT IT CAN LOOK INTO THE COLLABORATION SPACE AS WELL, AND AGAIN, HUDDLE ROOMS AND OFFICES TO SUPPORT THE SPACE.

LOOKING AT THIS HERE. THIS IS WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE NOW, AND WE'RE PROPOSING CHANGING THE COLORING OF THE ROOF BY ADDING A METAL ROOF COATING SO THAT THAT WOULD EXTEND ALSO THE LIFE OF THE ROOF AND WOULD TONE IT DOWN.

THEN WE WOULD ALSO INTRODUCE SOME MASONRY UP TO 12 FEET ALONG THE BUILDING TO BRING IT TO MAKE IT TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO A SCHOOL FEEL WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE ROAD.

I THINK AS WE GET CLOSER, AS YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE MASONRY HERE, WE WOULD BE PAINTING OVER THE EXISTING STUCCO SO THAT WE WOULD TAKE AWAY THOSE COPPER BANDS THAT ARE EXISTING.

AND THEN THIS ALSO GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME BRANDING FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'VE ALSO INTRODUCED SOME NATURAL LIGHT INTO THOSE CLASSROOM AREAS.

THE LIBRARY IS DOWN HERE AND THEN THE CLASSROOMS AND COLLABORATION ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY MEANS OF NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE WHOLE BUILDING.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT INTO THE CLASSROOM AREAS.

AGAIN, THAT'S JUST A CLOSE UP OF THAT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE MASONRY AT 12 FEET AND THEN THE PAINTED STUCCO ABOVE.

THAT'S THE ENTRANCE TO SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT'S THE OMNI ROOM ENTRANCE IN THE BACK AND THE ENTRANCE TO THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER, AND THE OTHER END.

ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE THE BUILDING, THIS IS THE MAIN COLLABORATION AREA.

THIS IS THE AREA THAT LEADS TO THE CLASSROOM AREAS.

SO THIS GOES TO THE SECOND FLOOR, AND THE FIRST FLOOR RIGHT HERE IS THE TESTING ROOM, AND THE SRO IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE AT THIS CORNER.

AGAIN, JUST THE SAME LOOK, LOOKING BACK A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN WE'VE CREATED A LEARNING STAGE TO ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER HERE OR TO HAVE PRESENTATIONS WHERE YOU CAN BRING MORE STUDENTS TOGETHER.

SO IT WILL SERVE A LITTLE BIT AS A COMMONS FOR THE CAMPUS.

AS YOU COME UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR, THERE'S A COLLABORATION SPACE THAT IS OUTSIDE THOSE DOORS.

AGAIN, THAT CAN BE USED BY ANY CLASS MOVING OUT THERE AT ANY POINT TO WORK, AND THOSE ARE THE WINDOWS THAT NOW LOOK THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND THIS IS A SHOT OF THE INSIDE WHERE THOSE HUDDLE ROOMS AND OFFICES WILL BE LOCATED, AND YOU CAN SEE THE CLASSROOM, AND WE'RE LOOKING AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WORKING STILL ON SOME OF THE GRAPHICS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'VE LISTED SOME OF THE WORDS FROM YOUR GRADUATE PORTRAIT IN HERE, AND THEN WE'RE TRYING TO CARRY THE SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL COLORS.

SO TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF BRANDING.

THIS IS JUST LOOKING BACK TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

THERE'S THAT COLLABORATION.

THIS IS THE FRONT, AND THEN THIS IS, AGAIN, LOOKING BACK TOWARDS THE CLASSROOMS. WE ALSO HAVE A COMMON SPACE THERE IN THE TRANSITION ACADEMY AND THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTERS.

[00:50:03]

WE ARE UNDERWAY ON CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND ASSUMING A SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE OF THE BOND, WE WOULD RELEASE FOUR PROPOSALS EARLY DECEMBER SO THAT WE COULD BID THE PROJECT IN JANUARY AND BRING IT TO YOU IN FEBRUARY OF 2023 SO THAT CONSTRUCTION CAN START IMMEDIATELY AND BE COMPLETED BY JUNE 1ST OF 2024, ALLOWING YOU TWO MONTHS TO MOVE INTO THE CAMPUS.

THE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN THE BOND IS 22,000,050.

THIS IS JUST A CONSTRUCTION COST FOR THE CAMPUS.

WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

JOE, DO YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? I'LL GO FIRST, AND A GOOD PRESENTATION.

OBVIOUSLY. EXCITING DESIGN.

LOOKS GREAT. OKAY, MAYBE A QUICK QUESTION FOR OUR IT GUY.

DAVE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT I KNOW AT SOME POINT YOU'VE COME AND PRESENTED THAT WE HAVE REDUNDANT INTERNET COVERAGE FOR ALL OUR CAMPUSES.

ARE YOU GOOD WITH THIS LOCATION? YES, SIR. WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON A PLAN TO EXTEND OUR FIBER PATHWAY THERE, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH BOTH KATIE AND IRENE ON MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT COVERED IN THE BUDGET. OKAY, COOL, AND THEN AGAIN, THIS IS NOT MY SPECIALTY, SO I'M JUST ASKING.

ANY DESIRE OR THOUGHT ABOUT SOME MAYBE EVEN SOFT SEPARATION IN THE CAFETERIA BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE.

SO MOST OF THE MEALS FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER ARE GOING TO BE SERVED IN THE CLASSROOM.

GOTCHA. OKAY, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE MOST OF THE MEALS THERE, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY STILL HAD ACCESS TO THAT SPACE FOR FOR MEETINGS OR FOR LARGER EVENTS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE. OKAY, I SAW THE ENTRY FOR THE OMNI ROOM.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WE WERE GOING TO PERHAPS RENT OUT THE GYM IF POSSIBLE FOR SOME.

DO WE HAVE AN ENTRANCE INTO THE GYM? YEAH, THERE'S A REAR ENTRANCE INTO THE GYM, PARKING RIGHT ADJACENT.

SO AGAIN, YOU CAN USE THE GYM AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE SEPARATED THAT.

SO THERE'S A DOOR THERE SO THEY CAN USE THE BATHROOMS, THE LOCKER ROOMS, AND THEN THE GYMNASIUM.

SHOW ME WHERE THAT. SORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE MY VIDEO UP.

WHERE IS THE ENTRANCE FROM? THE OUTSIDE.

IT'S RIGHT HERE.

I SEE IT. OKAY, GOOD, AND THEN I KNOW EVERY ARCHITECT, AND I'M NOT BLAMING YOU, BUT EVERY ARCHITECT REALLY HATES COVERS FOR DROP OFF AND I'M SPEAKING AS A PARENT AND SOMEBODY WHO USES A SCHOOL.

IT'S LIKE ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE THINGS THAT I APPRECIATE THAT MY KID CAN BE UNDER, ESPECIALLY WITH SPECIAL ED STUDENTS AND PEOPLE TRYING TO GET THEIR KIDS IN AND OUT OF VEHICLES.

I'M REALLY HOPING THAT WE ALLOW SOME REALLY AMPLE COVERAGE SO THAT SEVERAL VANS OR MORE CAN CAN PULL UP UNDERNEATH THERE BE SHELTERED FROM THE RAIN AND BE ABLE TO WORK IN A DRY ATMOSPHERE TO GET THEIR KIDS.

RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING HAS A CANOPY.

OKAY, THAT'S A CANOPY.

IT'S ALL THE WAY AROUND.

SO WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THAT, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S AN AREA TO PULL RIGHT UP TO IT AND BE ABLE TO DROP OFF.

I MEAN, I'LL JUST BE BLUNT.

I THINK WITH MY I DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT TERM, BUT MY CHILDREN, IT'S FINE.

I THINK, FOR THEM TO RUN THE THREE FEET FROM THE CAR TO THE, BUT IF I HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, IF I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE VAN AND I HAVE TO GO TO THE SIDE DOOR, AND THEN I'M LETTING IT DOWN, LETTING THE WHEELCHAIR ELEVATOR DOWN OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THAT, THAT'S A LOT OF TIME OUTSIDE, AND I WOULD LIKE I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO BE, IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THAT AND ALSO IN A SHELTERED CONDITION.

YEAH, I'LL GET WITH TAMMY AND HER TEAM AND WE'LL LOOK AT REALLY PLAN THE LOCATIONS FOR DROP OFFS TO GIVE ALTERNATE.

SO AGAIN, YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE CAR AT ONE TIME DROPPING OFF CARS DIRECTLY UNDER COVERAGE.

I WOULD LOVE THAT, AND WE DO HAVE THE DRIVE UNDER SO ON THE END THE SHE SHE KIND OF SHOWED THAT, BUT WHEN AFTER SHE SHOWED IT AND AGAIN IT'S HARD FOR ME TO VISUALIZE IN MY HEAD JUST HOW MANY CARS I'M SORRY VANS COULD FIT UNDERNEATH THAT AT ONCE, BUT OBVIOUSLY, IF THAT WAS JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR ONE VAN AND I DON'T KNOW, LOOK, I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE DROP OFF SITUATION, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VANS HIT THERE AT ONE POINT, BUT I WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE THAN ONE.

OKAY, WELL, AND THIS WOULD BE A NEW DIFFERENT FACILITY BECAUSE THESE STUDENTS ARE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT AREAS NOW.

SO WE'LL GET WITH THAT AND WORK ON WHAT THE RIGHT NUMBER OF VANS AT A TIME AND WHAT THE ACCESS NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF THEM.

LOOKS EXCITING. GREAT WORK.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MATT, REAL QUICK, WITH REGARDS TO POTENTIAL RENTING OF THE GYM, DO YOU HAVE A WAY OF RESTRICTING ACCESS TO THE REST OF THE SCHOOL? SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE.

WE DO HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND EXIT OUT OF THE GYM.

SO WE HAVE HERE. SO WE COULD ALWAYS HAD A SECOND DOOR OR MAYBE MOVE THIS DOOR FURTHER DOWN AND SEPARATE THAT.

[00:55:02]

SO WE CAN ABSOLUTELY MOVE THE DOOR OVER HERE AND TOTALLY SEPARATE THIS BLUE AREA FROM THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

SO YEAH, THAT WOULD BE JUST IN RENTALS AT OTHER GYMS AND SCHOOLS.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE.

KIDS RUNNING AMOK WHEN STUFF IS IN THERE, LIKE INTO THE CAFETERIA, INTO THE KITCHEN FACILITY, INTO THE REST OF THE SCHOOL AND WHATNOT.

JUST BEING ABLE TO RESTRICT THAT ACCESS, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY RIGHT NOW AT DESIGNING THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE SHELTER.

SO AND RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCES WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS THIRD DOOR, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT RELOCATING THAT DOOR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO.

SO LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE MEETINGS WITH THEM TO DETERMINE EXACT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MECHANICAL SPACES AND GENERATOR, AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT, WE'LL REVISE THAT, MAINLY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY TRY TO TARGET RUNNING THAT OUT.

I'M SORRY, LET ME JUST PIGGYBACK ON THAT FOR A SECOND, AND I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY THOUGHT OF THIS, BUT THAT'LL PROBABLY BE USED ON WEEKENDS AND NIGHTS.

SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO OSCILLATE THE HVAC.

YEAH, I THINK AND I KNOW WE HAD OUR FIRST KICKOFF HVAC MEETING THE OTHER DAY, SO YEAH, THE OMNI ROOM AREA WOULD BE SEPARATE.

YOU KNOW, THE ADMINISTRATION AREA IS ALWAYS SEPARATE BECAUSE THOSE RUN LONGER AND YOU KNOW, DURING THE DAY AND EVEN IN THE SUMMER AND THEN THE GYM AND CAFETERIA ALSO WOULD HAVE SEPARATE UNITS SO THAT THEY CAN BE RUN AFTER HOURS.

RICHARD? YEAH.

ON YOUR TIMELINE SCHEDULE, WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MEETING OF USING CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FORMAT AS FAR AS IS THIS GOING TO BE A HARD BID OR IS IT GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK? HARD BID. RALPH.

CHRIS. BRENDA.

I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE OTHER THING ABOUT THE OMNI ROOM.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT NIGHT OVER THERE, LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, AND SO THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE THAT AND NOT AIR CONDITIONING THE WHOLE BUILDING AND HAVE THOSE PEOPLE WITH THEIR LANGUAGE CLASSES AND DIFFERENT CLASSES THAT ARE OFFERED OVER THERE WITHOUT ALL AIR CONDITIONING, THE WHOLE BUILDING.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, IRENE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK, AND THANK YOU FOR COMING AND TALKING TO US TONIGHT.
