00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:07.830
Regan Molatore: All right, thank you. Now we can all have a little dab of what probably all of our teachers and students are experiencing right now. So, um,

28
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:20.130
Regan Molatore: Next up on our agenda is the time that we take community feedback and input and we've been doing that since we're meeting right by zoom via email.

29
00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:30.000
Regan Molatore: In advance of our meeting and today we did not receive any emails with feedback or input from our community. That being said,

30
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:52.500
Regan Molatore: You're always welcome to email the district or the board at any time you don't always have to just wait for public comment. During our board meetings, if you so choose. And we will now move on to our board and superintendent reports and Chelsea, would you like to start us off.

31
00:02:55.110 --> 00:03:07.050
Chelsea King: Yes, I would thank you first just welcome to all the people who are joining us this evening and our Long Range Planning Committee applicants. It's good to see you all. And

32
00:03:07.890 --> 00:03:15.480
Chelsea King: See your names to see your faces. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for applying and being willing to step up on behalf of your community.

33
00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:26.730
Chelsea King: And mostly what I want to say it's just, it's really nice to be back to school and it's totally different than what it was like a year ago. You don't need me to tell you that

34
00:03:27.750 --> 00:03:31.440
Chelsea King: But it's welcome all the same and

35
00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:36.540
Chelsea King: You know the my heart just really goes out to

36
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:58.650
Chelsea King: Our fellow school, school districts across the state, places like Phoenix talent and we're half of their student population, no longer has homes and neighboring communities like SDK. Dan Malloy Allah hoo. Matthew eight and so

37
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.250
Chelsea King: As as Topsy Turvy as things are for us here in Westland Wilson mill, we remain

38
00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:09.510
Chelsea King: To have a lot to be thankful for. And

39
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:25.770
Chelsea King: Yeah, and and this is this is a time. I think that shows us how important community is it's a time that we're being asked to really show our resilience and to come together for one another. So that's all I have to say this evening.

40
00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:32.580
Regan Molatore: Thank you Chelsea and ginger.

41
00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:42.690
Ginger Fitch: I don't have anything specific to report in terms of my actions. I've certainly thinking along the

42
00:04:44.940 --> 00:05:08.310
Ginger Fitch: Way as director King want to express concern for our staff members and families that are particularly staff members who have had to evacuate our be concerned about evacuating and make sure, Dr. Ludwig if there are things that as a community, we can do to support

43
00:05:09.750 --> 00:05:11.580
Ginger Fitch: Them as a group, or as individuals, you let us know.

44
00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:18.840
Ginger Fitch: And what a troubling time to have be a school leader and to be school leaders.

45
00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:34.020
Ginger Fitch: When there's uncertainty from day to day continuing and just how much we appreciate the communication that you're providing and your demonstration of resilience to our students as we continue to

46
00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:36.930
Ginger Fitch: Work through the school year.

47
00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:43.230
Regan Molatore: Thank you, Ginger and Dylan.

48
00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:46.530
Dylan Hydes: I know board report from you this week.

49
00:05:48.810 --> 00:05:50.700
Regan Molatore: Thanks, Dylan and Christy

50
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:04.740
Christy Thompson: Thank you. And I just want to start off by just thanking our administrators, our teachers and our staff, just for all of the learning and the work they've done.

51
00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:12.060
Christy Thompson: To get us to this point of starting comprehensive distance learning. So I just want to start

52
00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:21.810
Christy Thompson: Just knowing what it's like as a teacher to start a new year and then to put on top about all the learning they've done. So I just want to say how much I appreciate

53
00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:41.610
Christy Thompson: All of the extra hours and time and thought that they put in, and I did attend through webinar and a webinar that USDA did on August 19 titled board roles and responsibilities during kovats. So again, just trying to continue to be a learner.

54
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.330
Christy Thompson: Mostly for my home. And as I

55
00:06:47.310 --> 00:06:57.390
Christy Thompson: Listen to what always VA how they're directing us during this time and then also just continuing to read as I sure I'm sure many my colleagues are and just stay up to date on

56
00:06:57.810 --> 00:07:11.670
Christy Thompson: Schools and coven and and the like. And, and then the last thing I know that our kids are missing being in schools in our teachers are missing being with them. And I just want to say, I must been in the schools as well. I missed that opportunity to be they're

57
00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:14.550
Christy Thompson: Going to the welcome back barbecues and

58
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:24.120
Christy Thompson: And just through my presence make connections with our with our community members. So I look forward to when we get to do that again.

59
00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:42.690
Regan Molatore: All right, thank you. Christy and I'm for my board report, I just have a few different things to share with the board. One was that I had reached out to board members about

60
00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:48.240
Regan Molatore: Willingness to serve enrolls as a liaison both to

61
00:07:49.560 --> 00:08:03.090
Regan Molatore: Three Rivers charter school and to our Long Range Planning Committee and Dylan had agreed to continue on in his role as liaison to Three Rivers charter school and ginger has agreed to

62
00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:11.520
Regan Molatore: Step in where Chelsea has been for the last two years as a liaison to our Long Range Planning Committee.

63
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:26.310
Regan Molatore: I had the opportunity to, on behalf of the Board deliver a a welcome at the new teacher welcome event that happened virtually. And that was an event that I appeared virtually live

64
00:08:26.970 --> 00:08:36.750
Regan Molatore: In front of all the new teachers of our district and just share with them a warm welcome from our board and I had sent the board a copy of

65
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:48.660
Regan Molatore: my prepared statement for that as well as then I recorded a welcome or a for all staff, what we typically have are all staff. Welcome back. Breakfast. It was done.

66
00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.540
Regan Molatore: A little differently this year and so

67
00:08:52.710 --> 00:09:06.120
Regan Molatore: I had recorded a message that could be shared as school principals chose with our staff and I also sent the board just a copy of my written comments for that. And then, and

68
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:20.850
Regan Molatore: I've also, you may have been copied many times by the was the Wilson Ville arts, culture and heritage at task force. And so I sat in and joined and participated in

69
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:30.450
Regan Molatore: That task force last meeting and provided give some feedback on their proposed findings and then

70
00:09:31.410 --> 00:09:37.860
Regan Molatore: I also had the opportunity, along with Christy Thompson to attend the youth rights and justice gala

71
00:09:38.130 --> 00:09:46.440
Regan Molatore: Where we were able to support director Fitch in her work on behalf of that organization. It's that was come a fun opportunity to see ginger.

72
00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:53.220
Regan Molatore: And going to different a different realm outside of her her role as a school board member and then

73
00:09:54.030 --> 00:10:05.550
Regan Molatore: I have been working with Dr. Ludwig and Chelsea as well in continuing our work on the process behind our three board commitments this year.

74
00:10:06.060 --> 00:10:15.690
Regan Molatore: And I'm I will end up discussing those a little bit further. Later in the meeting. Originally I was going. It was my intent to update the board on

75
00:10:16.590 --> 00:10:24.630
Regan Molatore: A process for our as our program review and I'm as I was

76
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:34.710
Regan Molatore: Going through that today with both Dr. Ludwig and Chelsea and we kind of had a few more questions where we are seeking a little bit additional input from the board. And so I have

77
00:10:35.010 --> 00:10:41.880
Regan Molatore: Kind of added that rather than speaking about it totally in my board report, we're going to add it as an agenda item at the end.

78
00:10:42.270 --> 00:10:48.690
Regan Molatore: And so we will show you the process that we have put together. To date, and then we'll have a couple questions for you.

79
00:10:49.140 --> 00:11:02.400
Regan Molatore: In the interim, I have been responding to, you know, community questions around what our sorrow review may look like. And I just wanted to share that for with anyone who is listening.

80
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:12.570
Regan Molatore: And I essentially have been sharing kind of the message around that our school board undertook the review of our SRO program.

81
00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:29.160
Regan Molatore: Without being predisposed to a particular decision or outcome with the program, but that we as a board routinely find ourselves reviewing various programs within our schools, whether its curriculum safety high school renewals policies or the like.

82
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:44.880
Regan Molatore: And we believe that it was just a timely review of our SRO program and we as a board. One thing will want to be conscious about is making sure that we differentiate between this is a review of a program

83
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:51.420
Regan Molatore: And not the individuals or officers who are carrying out the program.

84
00:11:51.960 --> 00:12:09.780
Regan Molatore: And I kind of liken it to when we review our math curriculum. We don't review the teachers who are delivering the curriculum, we reviewed the program. And so we collectively just need to be thoughtful about how we approach this review going forward so that

85
00:12:10.890 --> 00:12:28.080
Regan Molatore: We are not many way attributing either program strengths or weaknesses to individual officers and and that our community could expect to hear a little bit more information about what that process will look like during tonight's meeting.

86
00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:29.340
Regan Molatore: So,

87
00:12:31.050 --> 00:12:35.940
Regan Molatore: That concludes my word report. And then Dr. Ludwig

88
00:12:39.150 --> 00:12:42.930
Kathy Ludwig: Thank you. Sure mala tour. I'm going to share my screen here.

89
00:12:48.510 --> 00:12:52.920
Kathy Ludwig: Okay, which we means we kind of shorten the gallery of all the faces, but

90
00:12:54.210 --> 00:13:01.890
Kathy Ludwig: Go through. So thank you so much. I'm just want to echo the sentiments that were shared earlier to around our thoughts.

91
00:13:02.670 --> 00:13:20.790
Kathy Ludwig: For fellow Oregonians at this time and they were well articulated at the beginning by director King and director Fitch and we certainly echo those and you've seen my messages as superintendent also giving updates and extending our care and concern.

92
00:13:21.990 --> 00:13:25.890
Kathy Ludwig: For all families who are impacted and we continue to hold people at our thoughts.

93
00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:40.590
Kathy Ludwig: So school is open between our last board meeting, and this one, giving you lots of updates about how we were going to open school. And then, of course, last week we opened and in the interim

94
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:56.970
Kathy Ludwig: Just watching our staff and teachers school leaders just magnanimously and very creatively working to make those connections and care for our students. We know this is a different start than ever before.

95
00:13:57.450 --> 00:14:14.400
Kathy Ludwig: And finding ways to do what we can. In person safely in terms of picking up supplies and making some face to face contact dropping off signs of appreciation to look forward to the year textbook and supply pickup.

96
00:14:15.810 --> 00:14:22.140
Kathy Ludwig: In addition to opportunities for kids to pick up their T shirts that have their school logo on it.

97
00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:26.850
Kathy Ludwig: Or meet their teacher through a drive by we're working really hard.

98
00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:43.260
Kathy Ludwig: To supplement those ways and make them three dimensional in terms of the two dimensional school that we have online with both comprehensive distance learning and our Western Wilson vocational online program so

99
00:14:44.280 --> 00:14:52.170
Kathy Ludwig: The first week of school teachers really focused on staff really focused on personalizing those connections. So while there was

100
00:14:52.680 --> 00:15:04.500
Kathy Ludwig: A group meeting often typically at the beginning. Most of the time was spent individually reaching out to families to make those connections to introduce themselves to children to see if there was still any

101
00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:23.130
Kathy Ludwig: barriers to access or learning, whether it's a Chromebook or a hotspot or confusion about a schedule and making sure we really start successfully by taking care and connection as we move into then academic content.

102
00:15:25.950 --> 00:15:26.970
Kathy Ludwig: We've watched this

103
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:45.900
Kathy Ludwig: Visual for months now. It feels like. But we're right in the middle of this now. And here we are getting up and going and our staff has completed hours of training to be more prepared for comprehensive distance learning and online learning.

104
00:15:47.190 --> 00:15:53.100
Kathy Ludwig: Getting Chromebooks and hotspots out to families was a key priority gearing up towards school

105
00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:05.760
Kathy Ludwig: And then additionally, want to thank our community partners faith organizations businesses Rotary's who reached out even individual families.

106
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:15.570
Kathy Ludwig: Looking for ways to provide donations for school supplies and learning kids as well as offering either their businesses or

107
00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:36.660
Kathy Ludwig: Church locations as places for Internet access safe places for kids to learn where they could come and have connectivity. So once again, our community just stepped up and so generous in terms of time and resource and support and I want to extend my thanks to them. We did.

108
00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:44.490
Kathy Ludwig: Start a task force that was able to collect these offers of resource and support.

109
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:54.330
Kathy Ludwig: And I want to thank the staff who have been coordinating those efforts. And you saw you in the picture is even going out to

110
00:16:55.500 --> 00:17:02.580
Kathy Ludwig: Housing areas and apartment complexes and neighborhoods with community partners to assist with families.

111
00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:14.310
Kathy Ludwig: So a lot of legwork. A lot of time and a lot of heart going into getting school up and going. So thank you to our whole community and thank you to all of our staff and teachers and school leaders.

112
00:17:16.290 --> 00:17:23.640
Kathy Ludwig: I do want to spend some time this right now with a huge thanks to our amazing technology department.

113
00:17:24.630 --> 00:17:40.050
Kathy Ludwig: Typically, for those of you tuning in, we do a monthly recognition of a community group might give them a plaque or some flowers, just a way to pause and thanks so many people for supporting our school district. And while this meeting, we didn't

114
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:53.730
Kathy Ludwig: Have a recognition that we were taking part in I thought I would go ahead on my own and supply one here and I just want to thank our amazing technology department. This is a very

115
00:17:54.510 --> 00:18:03.630
Kathy Ludwig: brief look at a very long list of what they have been working to accomplish. Because when a whole district decides to go online for learning.

116
00:18:04.470 --> 00:18:14.460
Kathy Ludwig: In the midst of the hardware, the software and the connectivity. It puts a lot of strain on a technology department and to do it so

117
00:18:15.030 --> 00:18:26.160
Kathy Ludwig: Thoroughly and thoughtfully with such detail and around the clock. I know staff members were answering phone calls on weekends and evenings, getting back to families.

118
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:35.130
Kathy Ludwig: Not only that, but this was the year we had already planned to start a whole new student information system. So parents, as you heard about

119
00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:54.870
Kathy Ludwig: Student view and parent view and we switched from school master to synergy. We just added that on to all the other layers of newness this year, which made for additional work and complexity because we were new to the system. We were integrating it into our, our district as well as

120
00:18:56.130 --> 00:19:08.400
Kathy Ludwig: Getting everyone online and we decided we would add a whole new phone system to all the schools and offices that added another layer of time and complexity complexity, but was just done.

121
00:19:09.450 --> 00:19:10.350
Kathy Ludwig: Seamlessly

122
00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:28.770
Kathy Ludwig: Our technology department has also been supporting our teachers and staff as they've been learning about digital curriculum and the systems for how to log in, they attended the trainings, they've been a help and support how those systems and integrate into synergy.

123
00:19:29.910 --> 00:19:39.750
Kathy Ludwig: Of course, we're doing a lot of video conferencing and we dipped our feet into zoom conferencing, but we've stepped it up a notch. We're doing much more of it with more licenses.

124
00:19:40.830 --> 00:19:46.710
Kathy Ludwig: More training for more staff. And again, this is the same team who has stepped up to do all of that.

125
00:19:47.550 --> 00:19:58.860
Kathy Ludwig: And then, of course, last but not least, just thousands of hours of help desk or trouble tickets that they are responding to at home.

126
00:19:59.430 --> 00:20:18.480
Kathy Ludwig: Online and whenever possible, because everybody's request is an urgent one and in this day and age, when you can't connect in a zoom meeting or accessing as a student roster or course, life gets suspended. And so this team has been magnanimous and deserves.

127
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:31.440
Kathy Ludwig: A trophy right here and rounds of applause. So I'd like to give a shout out to first of all our leader at the helm Curtis Nelson.

128
00:20:32.310 --> 00:20:43.170
Kathy Ludwig: And our assistant director condo wrong. And then these others amazing staff Isaac force Joe Wade Christina shod Sally Boyer David Benton

00:21:29.850 --> 00:21:39.150
Kathy Ludwig: As you know, last year we started with those continuous improvement plans that were new from the state. So we'll review ours again as a district. What were the goals that we set

133
00:21:39.690 --> 00:21:49.020
Kathy Ludwig: Because we did some heavy lift here in August and September recommitting to our district and board goals and now we want to see them in this continuum. This nested

136
00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:18.720
Kathy Ludwig: Their school development plans. So just want to get you prepared for that work sometimes what feels like just getting up and going is the most important work. But we have to remember that what drives this

137
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:28.020
Kathy Ludwig: Is a deep learning of our students and how we stay committed to those that vision and thinking about quality instruction and quality learning that's taking place.

Thank you.

167
00:24:22.560 --> 00:24:25.950
Regan Molatore: All right, board I wrote that down later on in our agenda, but

168
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:48.960
Regan Molatore: If somehow I would overlook it. Please call it to my attention. And now we get to move on to our Long Range Planning Committee positions and vacancies. And I just want to reiterate Chelsea's welcome and thank you. We have an

169
00:24:50.100 --> 00:25:01.560
Regan Molatore: A record number of applicants for this position, which is a wonderful, wonderful problem to have. And I can say from reading each and every application it

170
00:25:02.310 --> 00:25:18.840
Regan Molatore: We'd love to have all of you, you all bring something very special and unique to the table, regrettably, at the moment, we only have three open positions and that being said, I have told the story before, and this will be the very last time I tell it.

171
00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:31.440
Regan Molatore: That I had applied for both the Long Range Planning Committee and Budget Committee two different years in a row and never having had the opportunity to be selected or appointed to to either of those positions.

172
00:25:31.830 --> 00:25:48.900
Regan Molatore: I ultimately chose to run for school board. And that's where I am now, but I also say that in that this is my, my last year on the school board after eight years. So if any of you, whether you are appointed or just seeking further involvement.

173
00:25:49.860 --> 00:26:01.620
Regan Molatore: And our schools at a district level would be interested in hearing more about a school board position. I know any of our school board members would love to share with you about that. And I would

174
00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:25.590
Regan Molatore: Absolutely. Be willing to have a conversation and and encourage you, if that's the direction you're headed. So, and that being said, Thank you all so very much. And we had at one point I think roughly 25 applicants for this position, and we've had a couple of individuals.

175
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:38.220
Regan Molatore: who've had some things come up that caused them to withdraw. We had offered I had sent on and ask Kelly Douglas to send out an email on kind of behalf of the Board from me and

176
00:26:38.730 --> 00:26:50.850
Regan Molatore: Sharing that if anybody would like the opportunity to in addition to the application that they provided either provide something in writing to further help us know more about you or to share

177
00:26:51.870 --> 00:27:03.750
Regan Molatore: With us directly this evening and for roughly a minute and a half, you are invited to do so. And we did receive a couple of of applicants who

178
00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:19.110
Regan Molatore: Sent in something by email. I had Megan Parker Brooks and Jenny Cole submit something in writing. And then we had roughly 14 individuals who would love to share with us.

179
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:40.890
Regan Molatore: This evening as well. So I am going to go down the list and invite people to share something in roughly about a minute and a half with the board. I know it's a really short amount of time, but we'd love to hear from you. So the first person I have is Nancy Fowler.

180
00:27:44.790 --> 00:27:45.810
Nancy Fowler: Yep. Hi.

185
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:21.810
Nancy Fowler: I have worked in large districts and small districts and schools with varieties of income diversity and resources.

186
00:28:22.350 --> 00:28:27.870
Nancy Fowler: Through the budget cuts of measure five. That was a long time ago to the years are funding was abundant.

187
00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:33.540
Nancy Fowler: I have worked at the district level, at the classroom level and as a school leadership level.

188
00:28:34.170 --> 00:28:41.970
Nancy Fowler: Districts are very different place that they were a year ago and we are facing fudging down a budgeting downfalls due to covet 19

189
00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:55.800
Nancy Fowler: Priorities of schools have changed as the instruction has changed, but as lessons Wilson go school district continues to grow in size, we still need to prioritize an equitable learning experience for all students.

190
00:28:57.150 --> 00:29:09.330
Nancy Fowler: I would be honored to serve as a member of the Long Range Planning Committee and hope that you take my unique experiences as a bonus to help continue to drive the district into the future. Thank you so much.

191
00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:18.330
Regan Molatore: Thank you so much. Nancy and. Next I have mini Agha

192
00:29:27.300 --> 00:29:41.460
Mini Bhat: As you know, my name is Minnie and I have been part of the veselin Wilson Middle School District. As a parent, since the year 2013 my I have twin

193
00:29:42.630 --> 00:29:55.140
Mini Bhat: Daughters that are actually in grade seven at the dual language program at Harvard Medical School and I wanted to express my deep appreciation and happiness and

194
00:29:56.280 --> 00:30:03.690
Mini Bhat: And thankfulness for the fact that our school district has handled this pandemic problem and the fire issues so so very well and I

195
00:30:04.260 --> 00:30:14.130
Mini Bhat: And I'm very, very happy that we have such great leaders that have said good foresight and fact based approach to solving the problems.

196
00:30:14.670 --> 00:30:32.730
Mini Bhat: So, um, I have been a very active participant in the schools. Ever since my daughter's joined the school system being an active member of the PTA at both Lowry when they were at Lowry and now it is about Middle School. Unfortunately, the year was cut short because you know of the

197
00:30:33.870 --> 00:30:50.070
Mini Bhat: health issue. Um, one of my roles as an activity as a member was to manage the media so media and publication. So I would typically manage all the Facebook posts, the Instagram posts and sometimes help with the website.

198
00:30:52.020 --> 00:30:52.380
Mini Bhat: And

199
00:30:54.270 --> 00:30:55.110
Mini Bhat: I have

200
00:30:56.190 --> 00:31:12.090
Mini Bhat: I'm kind of kind of also appreciative of the fact that inclusive at our school district provides in and doesn't overlook, pretty much. I mean, all the other major issues that I've noticed with other school districts and I'm really grateful for that and

201
00:31:13.470 --> 00:31:20.610
Mini Bhat: I think I want to take this a step further, you know, this gratefulness that I feel and actually become even more active participant.

202
00:31:21.030 --> 00:31:28.590
Mini Bhat: In helping taking doing volunteering for our school district in you know any capacity that I can. I had applied for

203
00:31:29.340 --> 00:31:41.310
Mini Bhat: The long term Range Planning Committee earlier in 2019, of course, didn't get accepted and in fact in 2016 I did volunteer for the same committee, as well as the bonds committee and the board oversight committee.

204
00:31:42.330 --> 00:32:01.560
Mini Bhat: So a little bit about my background, I am a researcher, a scientist, basically, and I work in the department of Ophthalmology at ASU, and prior to doing my research here. I was actually teaching undergrad and graduate classes and university in India and mostly in the area of Animal Sciences

205
00:32:02.760 --> 00:32:19.110
Mini Bhat: All of my family is connected with educators directors of educators teachers in some way or the other. And of course, so I have a good understanding of being on both sides of the equation of being a daughter of a teacher, as well as being in being a student myself and then teaching myself.

206
00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:31.800
Mini Bhat: Of course, you know, given my background, I am I'm i three devices. I like to take fact based and evidence based approach to solving problems and

207
00:32:32.370 --> 00:32:41.430
Mini Bhat: My experience has shown me not to jump to any conclusions unless and actually follow the data where they're taking you and not have any preconceived notions on

208
00:32:42.330 --> 00:32:53.760
Mini Bhat: On my own inclinations. So, and also I think being from India and might bring up I might bring the virtue of added, you know, diversity and a fresh perspective to the committee.

209
00:32:54.570 --> 00:33:08.160
Mini Bhat: I like I already said, I've been very impressed with how our school district has navigated through this very, very challenging time that has been made, much, much more complicated by this fire situation I'm fortunate to be a part of the system and

210
00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.540
Mini Bhat: And

211
00:33:10.650 --> 00:33:22.230
Mini Bhat: And I really feel that we have a very well thought out system and offering so many different options for children to suit the needs of the families in every which way, whether they do the comprehensive distance learning or the online program.

212
00:33:24.570 --> 00:33:28.950
Mini Bhat: These have been unprecedented times and I mean we are learning as we go every single day.

213
00:33:29.490 --> 00:33:40.110
Mini Bhat: So we definitely need to come up with new strategies that are kind of almost a little bit out of the box to face these problems because nobody really knows what we're doing here. So, and I definitely support and

214
00:33:41.190 --> 00:33:51.900
Mini Bhat: Want to enhance the community learning the student learning the strategizing and optimizing the best learning practices that can generate uniformity in race and learning at the same time. Thank you.

215
00:33:53.250 --> 00:33:57.420
Regan Molatore: Thank you. Many and Courtney

216
00:33:59.970 --> 00:34:06.240

217
00:34:06.990 --> 00:34:17.160
Courtney Lackey: Three years. Now we have a third grader and that are actually a fourth grader now. Whoa. For us great in second grade doing the online program this year and I agree. I think that

218
00:34:18.030 --> 00:34:26.130
Courtney Lackey: The options that our school district put out for this time have been so challenging and just a huge applause to everybody working

219
00:34:26.520 --> 00:34:35.340
Courtney Lackey: So diligently over the summer when they're supposed to be having a little break and relaxing. This definitely wasn't the year for that. And so I just thank you for all that you guys brought to the table.

220
00:34:36.060 --> 00:34:55.020
Courtney Lackey: In solving some problems and giving us options so i i have a fourth grader and a second grader and in the district and my second grader son experiences a significant motor motor disability. He's a quadriplegic and has cerebral palsy. And so my background.

221
00:34:56.310 --> 00:35:01.500
Courtney Lackey: Has kind of evolved over time with that gift of having him as my child and

222
00:35:02.250 --> 00:35:11.070
Courtney Lackey: Professionally, I'm a speech language pathologist. I worked for early intervention in Northwest Regional for seven years prior to having my son, and then ended up

223
00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:25.320
Courtney Lackey: venturing out into private practice just to get some more flexibility and that was kind of a long term goal for me. So now I established my practice and Wilson. Well, Simon, a small business located here and working through the Kobe crisis and

224
00:35:26.430 --> 00:35:29.070
Courtney Lackey: Trying to support families as best as possible so

225
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:37.500
Courtney Lackey: I would be honored to be a part of the Long Range Planning Committee, I had so much fun being invited to the bond summit and participating at that

226
00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:56.970
Courtney Lackey: A few years ago, and just starting to really plant my roots with my young children in this district. And we are so committed to the philosophy and foundation that less than, less than 12 school district has to offer students and learning around Inclusion. Inclusion and inclusive community.

227
00:35:58.080 --> 00:36:05.220
Courtney Lackey: With education and beyond. And so I'm just very grateful that you know when I was doing my shopping of school districts, so to speak, that

228
00:36:06.570 --> 00:36:15.540
Courtney Lackey: I landed here in this district and I continue to be impressed by just the efforts of the community and the focus that the district has

229
00:36:16.560 --> 00:36:32.670
Courtney Lackey: My background. I was a part of the PSS team at Boone's very primary that was exciting. And I'm looking forward to opportunities to do that differently this year and with them. And I've been an educational advocate for families with children with disabilities for

230
00:36:33.930 --> 00:36:34.830
Courtney Lackey: Many years now.

231
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:46.770
Courtney Lackey: And like I said, I continue to be a community professional in educational sector. So I get to team up with some of the speech therapist and teachers than in the district and

232
00:36:47.130 --> 00:36:56.190
Courtney Lackey: It's going to be a unique opportunity this year and I look forward to supporting my clients and their students together making this work the best that we can for our students with disabilities.

Victor Thekkedom: And my kids are starting their education journey. If they're both entering kindergarten second grade at Beckman Creek.

250
00:38:47.070 --> 00:38:56.610

251
00:38:57.090 --> 00:39:09.900
Victor Thekkedom: You know, I can see I know that we public resources, especially we're continuing to be asked to do more with less. So every big decision has a lot of impact. Right. So I think being a part of that process and having a voice. There is important to me.

252
00:39:11.010 --> 00:39:17.730
Victor Thekkedom: So yeah, seeing the growth here and Wilson building to be able to be part of this process would be would be a great opportunity. So what about myself.

253
00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:27.930
Regan Molatore: Thank you so much for sharing the appreciate it and Megan vital.

254

Maegan Vidal: I'm Megan Vito. Can you hear me okay

256
00:39:37.590 --> 00:39:38.730
Regan Molatore: Yes, we can think

257
00:39:40.020 --> 00:39:50.400
Maegan Vidal: Alrighty. Well, thank you so much for this opportunity during this tumultuous time which several Board Members have mentioned this evening.

258
00:39:51.480 --> 00:40:01.110
Maegan Vidal: I am currently a physician outreach liaison at Randall Children's Hospital at legacy and manual in Portland, which means I connect

259
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:25.020
Maegan Vidal: Our pediatric specialists and hospital to pediatricians and other hospitals throughout the Pacific Northwest. My son is in the Lowery primary schools dual language program. So right now I also get to be an assistant second grade teacher, which is a stretch.

260
00:40:27.660 --> 00:40:42.420
Maegan Vidal: I received my entire kindergarten through 12th grade education here in Clackamas county through Oregon City public schools and I am uniquely qualified to serve in one of your

261
00:40:43.110 --> 00:40:57.570
Maegan Vidal: L RPC positions because of my communications expertise, I would provide the committee with guidance on how to clearly communicate to the public.

262
00:40:58.230 --> 00:41:22.260
Maegan Vidal: using traditional and new modalities about the property. The district owns the properties plans for the future and how that property will be used to better to provide a better educational environment to our kids in the future. So thank you so much and have a good evening.

263
00:41:25.170 --> 00:41:27.510
Regan Molatore: Thank you, Megan, very much.

264
00:41:28.770 --> 00:41:30.660
Regan Molatore: And then I have a

265
00:41:31.710 --> 00:41:34.560
Regan Molatore: CG share a Tory

266
00:41:36.210 --> 00:41:37.170
Seiji Shiratori: Yeah, hello. That's me.

267
00:41:37.890 --> 00:41:39.360
Regan Molatore: How do you pronounce that.

268
00:41:39.540 --> 00:41:48.300
Seiji Shiratori: Yeah. Can you hear me okay so yeah. My name is CG sure Tori. If it's easier to call me sage that that's fine too. I don't mind.

269
00:41:49.140 --> 00:41:57.690
Seiji Shiratori: So I tend to talk a lot. I'll probably burn through 90 seconds pretty quickly. I'll try to cut myself off if you end up having to cut me off. That's fine too.

270
00:41:57.990 --> 00:42:06.720
Seiji Shiratori: I just want to use a little bit of time to kind of give you a preview of who I am and why I care to be on the Long Range Planning Commission here is so

271
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:11.490
Seiji Shiratori: Some background, my wife and I lived here in the early 90s back and Wilson Middle

272
00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:17.670
Seiji Shiratori: When she and I both spent a couple of sessions with the Oregon State Legislature working in and around the

273
00:42:18.120 --> 00:42:29.910
Seiji Shiratori: The building there. And then we went off to Washington DC to buy our trade there. I ended up signing on with the US Department of State and spent 21 years where we moved around to a lot of places. So we

274
00:42:30.660 --> 00:42:40.740
Seiji Shiratori: lived and worked in several places and in most of these places. We were also raising children and being a part of the educational community there.

275
00:42:41.310 --> 00:42:50.310
Seiji Shiratori: In some way, shape, or form. We've lived in Pakistan, Portugal, Senegal Timor Leste Northern Virginia Bulgaria Florida Panhandle

276
00:42:50.730 --> 00:42:56.850
Seiji Shiratori: Bahrain and then I spent a fun year in Iraq, when my kids were here, going to school in Oregon. We came back here.

277
00:42:57.690 --> 00:43:08.340
Seiji Shiratori: after retirement and we specifically came back here to this school district, although my wife's got family and tiger at Oregon city in Hillsboro, we chose the school district for for a reason.

278
00:43:08.730 --> 00:43:15.090
Seiji Shiratori: And now I'm working with the Oregon Department of Revenue. I'm the government affairs manager for the property tax division.

279
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:24.690
Seiji Shiratori: My wife is doing policy analysis with the Oregon Department of Human Services. More importantly, we've got an older son who is a senior at Wilson bill High School.

280
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:35.850
Seiji Shiratori: We've got a younger son who just spent a year at enza would middle school and is now at the Three Rivers charter school and we've just been really relatively pretty impressed relatively pretty happy.

281
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:42.780
Seiji Shiratori: With the school experience here. And that's one of the reasons why I want to want to serve is to maintain that quality.

282
00:43:43.410 --> 00:43:48.750
Seiji Shiratori: In the couple decades we've been away, we've seen so much growth here, and I'm sure it's going to continue good or bad.

283
00:43:49.350 --> 00:43:59.550
Seiji Shiratori: What I want to make sure that we're able to handle that growth here as a community and keep up that quality that we've got here at the schools, a brief word on equity, which is another reason why I'm interested

284
00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:12.330
Seiji Shiratori: You know when I, when I think about it, my grandparents were born in Japan, Sweden and North Carolina, and I've got sons and a wife who are Jewish, and I converted to Judaism. It gives me a very

285
00:44:13.380 --> 00:44:19.800
Seiji Shiratori: Well thought out view of what it means to be an American and what it ought to mean to be an American. So just, you know,

286
00:44:20.160 --> 00:44:28.650
Seiji Shiratori: Let you know that's that that much about me. And then finally, I'll just say a couple of other things that are kind of important to me in this context is one is parent choice.

287
00:44:29.130 --> 00:44:35.160
Seiji Shiratori: The other is student opportunity I worry when I see those things competing against other each other. I think they're both important.

288
00:44:35.910 --> 00:44:43.080
Seiji Shiratori: You know, we of course we want parents voices and things, but as a parent, I've seen how my kids can be exposed to things, regardless of me.

289
00:44:43.830 --> 00:45:00.780
Seiji Shiratori: So, whether it be language immersion athletics art, music, or stammer, or what have you want to make sure that the both of those things parent choice and student opportunity are in the mix. So I'll stop there. Thank you so much and hope I get to talk with you more.

290
00:45:03.210 --> 00:45:05.910
Regan Molatore: Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

291
00:45:06.990 --> 00:45:09.810
Regan Molatore: And Kate Jasper's

292
00:45:12.510 --> 00:45:13.440
Kate Jaspers: Hi. That's me.

293
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:14.910
Kate Jaspers: My name is

294
00:45:15.390 --> 00:45:23.850
Kate Jaspers: Earl i'm i'm a community member of parents and an educator, my wife and I moved to Westland in 2017 from Portland.

295
00:45:24.540 --> 00:45:41.910
Kate Jaspers: In large part due to the quality of the schools here, I have three young kids. My oldest is went to Stanford for kindergarten last year and is currently enrolled in the online program and I previously worked in public schools as a school psychologist in both Oregon and Washington.

296
00:45:43.110 --> 00:45:48.090
Kate Jaspers: Before taking my current position as a graduate Educator at Lewis and Clark College just up the street.

297
00:45:49.860 --> 00:45:57.120
Kate Jaspers: I'm invested in the well being of our community students in schools of beyond the particular schools that my own children will attend or have attended

298
00:45:57.720 --> 00:46:03.150
Kate Jaspers: I hold a focus on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, particularly for students with disabilities.

299
00:46:03.720 --> 00:46:18.210
Kate Jaspers: And students have been historically marginalized in our schools. And I think that can start with our physical places and spaces and our facilities, I believe, school should be a place to reach each child in each family and that our school should work for all kids.

300
00:46:19.230 --> 00:46:25.050
Kate Jaspers: And I love the idea of working with a group that's considering the future of learning in our, in our area.

301
00:46:25.590 --> 00:46:32.790
Kate Jaspers: You know, we as a community need to continue to looking forward to what learning will look like in 20 plus years. And I like the idea of working

302
00:46:33.120 --> 00:46:41.520
Kate Jaspers: Kind of the shorter term. What's it going to be five years from now, but also that longer picture of, you know, we don't even it's fun to imagine what learning will be in 20 years

303
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:47.940
Kate Jaspers: I can bring to this group of perspective as both a parent and an educator and I work well in groups.

304
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:54.240
Kate Jaspers: I pride myself on being able to hold multiple perspectives and kind of understanding lots of different views.

305
00:46:54.930 --> 00:47:06.240
Kate Jaspers: And I'm excited about the idea of being part of the future vision of our district our districts places and spaces. I care deeply for this community. And I'd love the opportunity to serve. Thank you.

306
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:10.260
Regan Molatore: Thank you so much. Key

307
00:47:11.520 --> 00:47:14.010
Regan Molatore: And Julie stone Evans.

308
00:47:16.680 --> 00:47:24.690
Julie Stone Evans: Everyone. Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for having me. And I do want to start by saying two things. One is to thank

309
00:47:25.050 --> 00:47:43.020
Julie Stone Evans: All of you and the administrators and teachers for the extraordinary work that you have done to help us through now to crises and the work that you've done over the summer and the enormous trends transition you made to from in person school to Virtual School, it's just

310
00:47:44.910 --> 00:47:49.230
Julie Stone Evans: Very impressive work, and I'm very grateful for all the work that you do as a parent.

311
00:47:50.700 --> 00:48:03.510
Julie Stone Evans: And I also want to say how fantastic it is to meet all of you here. I feel like we've been so isolated and now it's a lot of these great people who live in in my community. It's just really, really nice to meet you all.

312
00:48:04.710 --> 00:48:06.960
Julie Stone Evans: So okay, so I am here.

313
00:48:09.030 --> 00:48:15.660
Julie Stone Evans: Because I am really deeply committed to community service and a professional level I've come from.

314
00:48:16.230 --> 00:48:22.230
Julie Stone Evans: I've worked in the fourth congressional Think Tank. It's called the Congressional Research Service. I worked in court for Congress.

315
00:48:22.710 --> 00:48:45.840
Julie Stone Evans: I worked for an academia at UC San Francisco. And I've worked in nonprofits and also at the state level in California and I have been in Oregon for three years I previously served on as a volunteer for an elected position for the Berkeley Berkeley School District.

316
00:48:47.100 --> 00:48:53.910
Julie Stone Evans: I have my whole professional career has been as a health policy researcher and

317
00:48:55.080 --> 00:48:56.100
Julie Stone Evans: Pop and

318
00:48:58.410 --> 00:49:08.610
Julie Stone Evans: Analyst, so I worked in in public policy and all of those different arenas and I'm really deeply committed to

319
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:22.740
Julie Stone Evans: Research to analysis based on facts and then to using that information to translate into public policy and from those multiple perspectives. I've worked at, you know, in federal the federal and state levels to do that.

320
00:49:24.270 --> 00:49:35.040
Julie Stone Evans: In my current role, I am a nonprofit in Oregon. And then, isn't it, nonprofit. And so in a kind of parallel well way we have been leading the way for

321
00:49:35.700 --> 00:49:51.240
Julie Stone Evans: Converting our community clinics across the nation to do the kind so to transition to virtual care and to use technology and innovative way and I work on their state and federal outreach strategies.

322
00:49:52.650 --> 00:50:03.900
Julie Stone Evans: So, you know, I think, I think one of the things that can really bring is this really deep understanding of how public policy works both in you know in health care and education.

323
00:50:04.470 --> 00:50:21.150
Julie Stone Evans: At this at the local and state and then federal levels. I am also deeply committed to encouraging our students having kids who graduate who are both leaders in their communities who are

324
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:33.780
Julie Stone Evans: Committed to community service who are open minded diverse and to diversity and inclusion and who are going to be strong analytic thinkers

325
00:50:34.560 --> 00:50:44.910
Julie Stone Evans: As have done a lot of work and behavioral health and from the policy perspective and my other deep commitment, especially under covered. But even before is

326
00:50:45.630 --> 00:50:51.510
Julie Stone Evans: To making sure that our children and families have access to the mental health services and supports that they need.

327
00:50:51.900 --> 00:51:01.860
Julie Stone Evans: And now it's more pressing than ever, but I mean it's has always been, but there's more attention to the topic now and I would love to look at our, you know, our school based clinics and see

328
00:51:03.030 --> 00:51:11.550
Julie Stone Evans: When what kind of capacity or or innovative things we can do to expand access for the kids and families with needs and I'm also

329
00:51:13.410 --> 00:51:26.880
Julie Stone Evans: Really, I think my son professionally trained now to us so similar to what one other woman said is really to look at us research and evidence to drive decision making.

330
00:51:28.260 --> 00:51:43.050
Julie Stone Evans: So it might finally I just want to say that. It's kind of exciting now in a way to serve because I suspect, and I don't I know you know a lot more about this than I. But I suspect there's a lot of very challenging.

331
00:51:44.130 --> 00:52:00.690
Julie Stone Evans: challenges that we're facing that the district's facing around the budget, and now the coven crisis and the state funds with the new use of technology with the mental health needs. And so looking at our capacity and infrastructure and how that might

332
00:52:01.770 --> 00:52:18.210
Julie Stone Evans: Need to be creatively used for to meet all the diverse needs of the school district. So I'm really happy to be here. I'm also I'm also a Jewish American. And so I heard one other person on that on here say that. So, my kids are Jewish being raised in this district.

333
00:52:19.260 --> 00:52:19.710
Julie Stone Evans: Thanks.

334
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.960
Regan Molatore: Thank you Julie very much and

335
00:52:26.490 --> 00:52:27.810
Regan Molatore: I channel me

336
00:52:31.530 --> 00:52:33.900
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Hi, can everyone hear me okay

337
00:52:34.950 --> 00:52:37.590
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Wonderful my Wi Fi has been a little spotty so

338
00:52:39.060 --> 00:52:46.770
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Hold on, with me here. Thanks again this evening for the opportunity to share for the record. My name is Paris a chance for me.

339
00:52:47.130 --> 00:53:08.550
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: I am actually new mom and will Seville, I became a mom about five months ago and my family and I were reflecting on how do we want to continue to give back locally, and it also happened that the Long Range Planning Committee had an opening available. And so it was very serendipitous.

340
00:53:09.900 --> 00:53:15.510
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: In my work outside of Wilson ville. A lot of it is concentrated at the state level.

341
00:53:16.290 --> 00:53:26.490
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: So before becoming the Legislative Director for the coalition of school administrators. I used to work at an organization called stand for children and

342
00:53:27.450 --> 00:53:36.150
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: We are in multiple states and I had the opportunity to work in both Washington state and in Oregon and in my role.

343
00:53:36.570 --> 00:53:50.610
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: With that nonprofit we focus on passing comprehensive state policies that focused on improving outcomes for students, particularly our black indigenous and students of color and

344
00:53:51.510 --> 00:54:01.830
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: What was so important to me about the work is not only who was around the table and how we crafted the policy.

345
00:54:02.250 --> 00:54:10.740
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: That whole process around crafting policy and bringing it to the legislature, but also what happens when the policy is passed.

346
00:54:11.220 --> 00:54:22.380
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And how does that get rolled out and implemented at the district and local level. And we've seen time and time again how culture can eat that policy up for breakfast.

347
00:54:23.040 --> 00:54:35.340
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And it's important for folks who have been involved with crafting the policy and passing it to really ensure that it's shepherded and supported all the way to the local level.

348
00:54:35.730 --> 00:54:45.690
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And I'll give you an example. So when I was with them for children in Oregon. I worked on a ballot measure 98 and I had the opportunity to help

349
00:54:47.310 --> 00:55:05.250
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Focus on helping pass the measure in the campaign mode in the campaign phase and then once it passed at the ballot box in 2016 we worked tirelessly to make sure that it was fully funded and it was eventually fully funded in 2019

350
00:55:06.750 --> 00:55:14.250
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And as we were working to secure funding for measure 98 we heard from districts all around the state, saying,

351
00:55:14.550 --> 00:55:24.210
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Okay, with these new investments and career technical education and drop all prevention and advanced learning opportunities. We need to make sure that we have

352
00:55:25.140 --> 00:55:30.540
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: The community and the facilities and the capacity to help deliver on all of these things.

353
00:55:31.080 --> 00:55:43.980
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And so after passing the policy and helping secure investments. A lot of my time was focused on helping folks with local bond campaigns. So consulting with local bond committees.

354
00:55:44.700 --> 00:55:51.030
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: Helping them with turnout with voter outreach with messaging and

355
00:55:51.480 --> 00:56:01.170
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: For me that was really exciting and to see that the Long Range Planning Committee is looking at how does our community grow over time.

356
00:56:01.410 --> 00:56:11.940
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: And how do we align investments with those goals and ensure that folks who are been a part of this community and who are new to this community are part of those efforts.

357
00:56:12.660 --> 00:56:26.550
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: That really excites me and I think my ability to learn and to collaborate and to work with others on both the policy campaign and planning and implementation side.

358
00:56:27.030 --> 00:56:39.480
Parasa Chanramy - she/her: I think making a really strong candidate for this committee. So with that, I want to say I really appreciate the opportunity to share and am available to help answer any questions.

359
00:56:43.260 --> 00:56:47.220
Regan Molatore: Thank you so much, and congratulations.

360
00:56:48.780 --> 00:56:50.010
Thank you so much.

361
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:56.370
Regan Molatore: And and Mary passenger

362
00:57:00.090 --> 00:57:10.500
Mary Pettenger: Hello and good evening. I just thinking about the the words that you spoke earlier on, and I i'm actually the parent of a child who just went through the quarantine class of 2020

363
00:57:11.160 --> 00:57:16.770
Mary Pettenger: And I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you did and I just taking her through graduation and having it be special and

364
00:57:17.130 --> 00:57:23.220
Mary Pettenger: Actually having her comment afterwards that it was something that she thinks that every student should be able to have that type of a graduation.

365
00:57:23.850 --> 00:57:34.710
Mary Pettenger: It really means a lot to me as a parent. So I want to thank you and also your support and I understand going living through this crisis and moving online and the tremendous demands it has on you.

366
00:57:35.070 --> 00:57:47.220
Mary Pettenger: Besides your work and your, your families and your friends. So when I got ready to speak tonight. I was thinking a little bit about thoughts that I have about the about why I'm applying for this position.

367
00:57:47.850 --> 00:57:53.850
Mary Pettenger: So these are kind of my my my thoughts on that. So I remember as a child excitement on that first day of school.

368
00:57:54.390 --> 00:58:01.410
Mary Pettenger: And seeing my friends again and reading the new teacher and walking into the school building seeing the pictures on the walls and then

369
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:13.740
Mary Pettenger: Later, and when I went to high school, the hallways of lockers, and it's really that feeling of excitement that stayed with me and I relive it each year each fall as a university professor taught for over 20 years

370
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:20.460
Mary Pettenger: And it's this same excitement that I really want to engender for all children who attend schools in our district.

371
00:58:21.060 --> 00:58:28.950
Mary Pettenger: So I've watched my children as they transition from primary school at wins ferry to middle school. It was middle school to well symbol High School.

372
00:58:29.700 --> 00:58:33.900
Mary Pettenger: And it's those facilities that have helped them to thrive. So that's the

373
00:58:34.290 --> 00:58:45.510
Mary Pettenger: Facility that help facilities that help with healthy living with sports and Physical Education and with music and arts and drama and I'm so excited to see the new auditorium and Wilson Middle High School going up in a few years.

Mary Pettenger: There was science fairs and allow students to interact with labs, full of equipment and as they run their experiments.

375
00:58:53.010 --> 00:59:04.230
Mary Pettenger: And and that's actually guided my daughter to pursue a biology degree in college, the computer labs that my son has sat in and enjoy. And now he's going to be a software engineer.

376
00:59:04.680 --> 00:59:17.400
Mary Pettenger: And the robotic space at the high school with gears and wheels. If you've ever walked in and you see cables and computers and things all spread out of the floor and the community events with hundreds of people coming to the high school to watch the competition.

377
00:59:18.570 --> 00:59:28.200
Mary Pettenger: So as a university professor and division chair. I know the value of and the need for quality learning spaces and I can bring this knowledge and expertise to the process.

378
00:59:28.530 --> 00:59:35.670
Mary Pettenger: Of determining capital improvements and facilities for our school district as the population grows and needs change over time.

01:06:13.980 --> 01:06:22.980
Joe Walters: I've had an opportunity to get to know everyone on the on the district level, Dr. Ludwig, and I have had conversations about

424
01:06:24.120 --> 01:06:35.160
Joe Walters: Why there are so few portable classrooms in the district. And the reason for that is the long range plan that the district has undertaken all these years.

425
01:06:36.600 --> 01:06:51.630
Joe Walters: Most schools will, you know, the schools. We moved from in California were half portable classrooms and and and the facilities were a mess. And it was, you know, it was a challenge for the teachers to do their work in these in these environments.

426
01:06:53.190 --> 01:06:58.890
Joe Walters: And in this district that is 100% the opposite. And so, you know,

427
01:07:00.030 --> 01:07:10.470
Joe Walters: I started volunteering, back in the day with music and arts partners. I've been involved with the Education Foundation. I was tapped for the safety committee.

431
01:07:40.470 --> 01:07:44.580
Joe Walters: And so, you know, I put my name in because I want to continue to give back.

432
01:07:45.630 --> 01:08:04.320
Joe Walters: But I also have to say that I am humbled and inspired by all of the people who have come before me. And so, you know, I think, as Fred says if there are other people out there who are more, you know, more suited for this role. Absolutely.

01:08:05.520 --> 01:08:16.290

441
01:08:55.770 --> 01:09:04.680

442
01:09:05.340 --> 01:09:09.330
Drew Hanson: The amount of interest there is in this Long Range Planning Committee, I think that is

443
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:20.280
Drew Hanson: Fantastic. So for the 20 or so individuals who won't end up making the cut. There are a ton of committees and other boards within Wilson building Westland

444
01:09:20.670 --> 01:09:29.550
Drew Hanson: Seek those positions out because you obviously care and your voice is needed in the community. So do that and even just from the the few that I've heard tonight.

445
01:09:30.030 --> 01:09:37.920
Drew Hanson: You know, the Long Range Planning Committee has your work cut out for yourselves on picking these individuals because there are some very qualified people here.

446
01:09:38.250 --> 01:09:51.360
Drew Hanson: And with that, I'm actually going to withdraw my application because I think that there are people were qualified to me to do this. So just, you know, keep on being engaged with the community and don't stop and good luck everybody

450
01:10:11.370 --> 01:10:17.820
Drew Hanson: Absolutely. I currently do serve as the Vice Chair of the economic development community for Wesley and so I have my hands full with that a little bit, but

451
01:10:18.090 --> 01:10:33.120
Drew Hanson: Education is very important to me because I have two very young children, and we're going to be within the school system for a decade or more. So I leave it up to you all to be making good thoughtful long range decisions for for the future of my children.

Regan Molatore: That concludes everyone that had reached out and asked for a moment or two, this evening to introduce themselves to us and I haven't seen anybody comment. Otherwise, so

456
01:10:57.270 --> 01:11:06.180
Regan Molatore: All right, I will kind of bring to a close this, this time of, I guess, learning more about

457
01:11:08.220 --> 01:11:09.930
Regan Molatore: Applicants and

458
01:11:10.950 --> 01:11:21.240
Regan Molatore: I'll move forward with the board trying to process and make appointments for applicants and we will conduct this process very similarly.

459
01:11:21.750 --> 01:11:40.440
Regan Molatore: similarly to what we've done in the past. However, I am going to ask board members to just give some thought and I'm going to have you write down the name of three or four applicants that you would like to see

460
01:11:42.210 --> 01:11:59.280
Regan Molatore: And then I will have you, you know, we will share those with each other and that way it kind of gives us a cursory look at what our peers, our fellow board members are thinking and contemplating and then

461
01:12:00.450 --> 01:12:13.470
Regan Molatore: Then we'll move forward with a nomination process for each position I do just want to mention just a couple of factual notes. And so our current long range planning.

462
01:12:14.100 --> 01:12:26.880
Regan Molatore: Committee has four members we have Sammy nada from Wilson Ville and Julie Miller from Westland, and their terms expired June 30 of 2022

463
01:12:27.420 --> 01:12:36.600
Regan Molatore: And then we have Grady Nelson of Wilson Ville and Kim Jordan of Westland, is that their term expires June 30 of

464
01:12:37.320 --> 01:12:52.410
Regan Molatore: 2020 so sometimes people ask you where from what sides of our community. Do we have long range planning members coming from and So currently we have two members from each side of the Westland and Wilson Phil community.

465
01:12:53.310 --> 01:12:59.970
Ginger Fitch: And you clarify chair. I think the last 220 21 is the end of their term.

466

Chelsea King: Many Agha

513
01:19:18.990 --> 01:19:20.940
Dylan Hydes: So, I mean, talk about being overwhelmed.

514
01:19:22.860 --> 01:19:28.590
Dylan Hydes: I really feel like we could draw for from a hat or three from a hat and be guaranteed a pretty good selection.

515
01:19:29.190 --> 01:19:37.110
Dylan Hydes: So just to give people an idea of kind of what I was looking for and selecting people was, you know, a background. Most importantly back. I know lend itself well to being a long term.

516
01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:48.840
Dylan Hydes: Long Range Planning Committee member, so like prior board Experience Project Management nonprofit work. I also looked at involved in the community and the schools.

517
01:19:50.670 --> 01:19:59.670
Dylan Hydes: The right kind of personality that will has the courage to kind of speak up and ask tough questions. Even if everybody else is going along, not afraid to be the kind of lone voice.

518
01:20:01.470 --> 01:20:05.430
Dylan Hydes: Someone who can be a good team member. And so, you know, in making tough decisions, I

519
01:20:06.480 --> 01:20:23.490
Dylan Hydes: Didn't matter to me that you were asked to speak for 90 seconds and those who stayed close to that I take that as a sign of respect and piercings in very long meetings, I appreciate that. So for those of you who honor that I gave extra points to. So with that said, My for people

520
01:20:24.540 --> 01:20:25.410
Dylan Hydes: To the right page.

521
01:20:28.230 --> 01:20:30.330

Dylan Hydes: Megan. The Dow and Sean O'Neill.

524
01:20:39.900 --> 01:20:40.710
Dylan Hydes: Those are my four

525
01:20:50.640 --> 01:21:05.580
Regan Molatore: Alright, so the benefit of us just sharing kind of top top four people that come to mind for you for wanting to be nominated allows us to kind of see where we are personally as board members.

526
01:21:07.230 --> 01:21:19.560
Regan Molatore: Saw the same characteristics and possibly we get to point out ones that somebody may have overlooked. So that being said, we have three positions to fill and we

527
01:21:20.730 --> 01:21:27.450
Regan Molatore: Are misplace a new for hearing from Me. I apologize. I'm so we're going to

528
01:21:30.090 --> 01:21:36.930
Regan Molatore: I'm going to start with nominations ways to work. So I'll stop. Start with nomination. So, board members for so for position one.

529
01:21:37.290 --> 01:21:50.760
Regan Molatore: I'll just ask for nominations and we'll just make as many nominations as you want for that one position and then we will just take those nominations in order and vote.

530
01:21:51.780 --> 01:21:52.920
Regan Molatore: For the individuals.

531
01:21:54.060 --> 01:22:01.170
Regan Molatore: Then we will move on to the next position, which would be positioned seven. And we'll start with position one then move to position seven

532
01:22:01.650 --> 01:22:15.390
Regan Molatore: And those are both the longer terms and they expire three years from now, in June of 2023 and then we have position for which we will do last which just so happens that it is a shorter term and because it is

533
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:24.900
Regan Molatore: An appointment to fill the remainder of that positions existing term, which then would end june of 2022

534
01:22:25.980 --> 01:22:28.980
Regan Molatore: Everyone have clarity around process.

535
01:22:30.780 --> 01:22:43.380
Regan Molatore: So then I will open the nominations for position one, and have board members want to just make nominations will write those down.

536
01:22:44.940 --> 01:22:49.920
Christy Thompson: I nominate. Okay. Sorry, I should have raised a hand I nominate married gettinger

537
01:22:55.710 --> 01:22:59.580

538
01:23:00.870 --> 01:23:09.690
Chelsea King: Give me just a second while I push the button. Okay, so I had the honor of working with mini Agha for many years and allowing PTA

539
01:23:10.200 --> 01:23:26.970
Chelsea King: And I also know that she's previously applied for the Long Range Planning Committee. And so I think her her years of dedication to our schools as well as her continued interest in the committee makes her a solid first appointment and so I'm nominating many Agha

540
01:23:36.180 --> 01:23:40.740
Regan Molatore: Gender Dylan anybody you'd like to appoint this for this particular position.

544
01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:58.440

546
01:24:14.820 --> 01:24:17.580
Regan Molatore: In a bond and local option campaign with our larger community.

547
01:24:22.080 --> 01:24:29.370

557
01:25:16.470 --> 01:25:19.020

01:25:28.530 --> 01:25:40.530
Dylan Hydes: Based on her bio. I think she's got a lot of time to devote to this position. And so between her background for commitment and availability. I thought she really rose to the top of the pack.

566
01:26:35.130 --> 01:26:40.140

635
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:28.260
Christy Thompson: And also, as a teacher, as well. But I loved her statement in her application where she said, I will bring a welcoming and energized personality to the Long Range Planning Committee dedicated to serve.

636
01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:36.510

Chelsea King: spoke to my heart. I love that he brought in the, the district goal and reference to that.

654
01:37:23.340 --> 01:37:44.700
Chelsea King: And just really spoke to equity and his professional background fact as kids in the district. And I also took to heart that he deferred the appointment to to somebody who identifies as black indigenous per person of color or female. And so I take his words that value and will act accordingly.

01:38:44.190 --> 01:38:52.830
Regan Molatore: And thank you, board members as well for taking the time to read these applications to read their letters and to listen to them this evening and be thoughtful about

665
01:38:53.490 --> 01:39:05.160
Regan Molatore: Who we weren't planning the future facility means for our district. I think we've made some incredible selections and we've met a lot of wonderful individuals through this process this evening.

666
01:39:07.020 --> 01:39:09.510
Regan Molatore: And with that we will

667
01:39:10.620 --> 01:39:12.570
Regan Molatore: Move on to the next.

668
01:39:13.710 --> 01:39:16.140
Chelsea King: We have the privilege of a recess, please.

669
01:39:16.740 --> 01:39:21.690
Regan Molatore: Yes, that would be awesome. Let's take five minutes.

670
01:39:23.730 --> 01:39:25.320
Regan Molatore: Be back at

671
01:39:27.120 --> 01:39:27.810
Regan Molatore: 747

672
01:39:32.700 --> 01:39:33.060
Regan Molatore: For

673
01:39:33.600 --> 01:39:44.610
Regan Molatore: Getting back into fashion and ginger had said she's had a question with regards to clarifications, what was your question gender.

674
01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:50.640
Ginger Fitch: So six a one as a report on the second quarter.

675
01:39:51.690 --> 01:39:59.190
Ginger Fitch: Bond six be as an update on the 2014 capital bond and then on 60 we return to the

676
01:40:00.210 --> 01:40:03.240
Ginger Fitch: Bond. I'm confused.

677
01:40:05.040 --> 01:40:14.820
Ginger Fitch: Because this is my first time through it, I think, why, why are we getting three reports, instead of too.

678
01:40:17.490 --> 01:40:21.780
Ginger Fitch: Late so I know that I'm listening for the right information and asking the right questions at the right time.

679
01:40:26.160 --> 01:40:29.370
Regan Molatore: To load big do you want me to try and answer. Do you want to share way.

680
01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:34.380
Kathy Ludwig: Yeah, I just have the two either 2014 and 2019

681
01:40:35.340 --> 01:40:35.700
Regan Molatore: So,

682
01:40:35.790 --> 01:40:37.950
Kathy Ludwig: I think I have the older version and not the new

683
01:40:39.120 --> 01:40:40.080
Kathy Ludwig: Board book Kelly.

684
01:40:40.230 --> 01:40:52.740
Regan Molatore: So what we have is the first one is the bond oversight committee update. So the bond oversight is about the you'll on the 2018 bond, what has been spent. You know what projects going how much

685
01:40:54.000 --> 01:41:03.480
Regan Molatore: How much we've contracted for person, how much we're obligated for how much total contracts for that we just get the financials of the bonds. The 2014

686
01:41:03.930 --> 01:41:15.900
Regan Molatore: I capital bond program is really at its conclusion. And so we're just going to hear about how the last those last monies are being spent and what projects have been utilized in wrapping up the 2014 bond.

687
01:41:16.290 --> 01:41:25.200
Regan Molatore: And then we come back and rather than talking about the finances in bond oversight. We're actually going to see the work I believe that took place under the

688
01:41:26.580 --> 01:41:43.620
Regan Molatore: On as well as work that's being contemplated here in the very near future. And I see remote shaking his head confirming that. So I think the first 2018 is more about the financials and the second one is about like the brick and mortar work that we can see happening.

689
01:41:48.480 --> 01:42:09.840
Regan Molatore: Alright. So with that, we're going to go to the bundle precinct committee for the second quarter for the bond and Sammy nada. Thank you so much for joining us, as well as being willing to deliver this report to us and it's information this evening, welcome.

690
01:42:10.050 --> 01:42:16.410
Samy Nada: Thank you. First, I'd like to thank everybody here the board to staff everybody full day was all

691
01:42:16.650 --> 01:42:17.130
Samy Nada: Of thought that

692
01:42:17.250 --> 01:42:18.780
Samy Nada: Went through since the start of this year.

693
01:42:19.020 --> 01:42:23.070
Samy Nada: Go ahead and then the fire and everything. What a father, the line school stopped.

694
01:42:23.910 --> 01:42:31.770
Samy Nada: For whatever. Yeah. Now we have a reason from the lens of school to stop them to take a break from it. So anyway, after thanking everybody. I'm just going to go through also to

695
01:42:32.700 --> 01:42:40.170
Samy Nada: To maybe clarify something to do as agenda was asking about. So this is about Oversight Committee. I'm just going to go through the Qt in the quarter report.

696
01:42:40.470 --> 01:42:45.240
Samy Nada: Which we should be presented recorder. This is my first time presenting it, it's going to be very brief.

697
01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:49.860
Samy Nada: And then a ream over from the staff, they're going to give the actual latest updates.

698
01:42:50.340 --> 01:43:01.350
Samy Nada: Up to date because what I'm just giving is in this presentation is the quarterly report for Q2, which ends on June 30 we we are almost at the end of the Q3.

699
01:43:01.860 --> 01:43:06.690
Samy Nada: So we this is like, let's not up to date, the one, the team is going to present

700
01:43:07.350 --> 01:43:25.920
Samy Nada: After me or is going to be more up to date on and on with more detail about the projects and everything on it. So just, this is just a brief of what has been done and for the further for the future for the 2019 bond. So if you can move to second slide please.

701
01:43:27.300 --> 01:43:39.240
Samy Nada: So I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with this form, man. But I think they've been using it for the 2014 as well to show how the bond work where we are the bond and and how much money we're spending.

702
01:43:39.540 --> 01:43:48.810
Samy Nada: Our stuff like this. So because we are this is still the very early phase or the blue, dark blue blue. This is my that is not uncommitted so money that we have not

703
01:43:49.200 --> 01:44:02.580
Samy Nada: It's in the barn, but we haven't gotten to spend, spend it. So, as we know, the bond got approved the 2019 share the one support adopted the resolution 2019 the five to six.

704
01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:09.900
Samy Nada: And we did the election and the bunker approved the bottles sold in February 12 2020

705
01:44:11.250 --> 01:44:19.500
Samy Nada: So factoring in all the interest earning at all the premium that happen because of the interest rate fluctuation in the recent few monsters.

706
01:44:20.850 --> 01:44:31.530
Samy Nada: I'm not gonna go through all you can you can look at the numbers here as you can see that this how much the wonders and how much interest and premium interest that we anticipate

707
01:44:32.130 --> 01:44:44.970
Samy Nada: Because of the all the investment that was playing to be done, and also the premium digital interest rate changes. So, so far. And this, again, this is for Q2 and June 30 Reagan was going to have more updates.

708
01:44:46.110 --> 01:44:56.070
Samy Nada: I'm not sure if he's gonna go through the same numbers here, but at least more updates more better than the Q2 which end of June 30 so pay today. There's a 2.5 million

709
01:44:57.120 --> 01:45:01.650
Samy Nada: This is amount of money to be paid 60 million is commit commit

710
01:45:02.880 --> 01:45:09.750
Samy Nada: commitment that we know we're going to pay this this ignore that to get going to be, but they haven't paid yet. And as you can see the rest of the bar is on

711
01:45:11.940 --> 01:45:18.180
Samy Nada: The all the consultants selection has been has been has been locked lottery completed and solid a project already underway.

712
01:45:19.410 --> 01:45:33.690
Samy Nada: Definitely one of the things that will end up spending all this are going to be spending a lot of money off is the whole technology thing. It was not anticipated to spend all this money in technology that early on the bond, but due to all the recent event.

713
01:45:34.710 --> 01:45:40.680
Samy Nada: This was planned as planned and factored in any way, but there's just the timing its timing and of course she can go in more detail.

714
01:45:41.010 --> 01:45:45.780
Samy Nada: About where the money was spent. And when it comes to technology. So it was elegant in technology.

715
01:45:46.050 --> 01:45:55.800
Samy Nada: Was not looking for something else. But it was spent announcement early on because all the older technology in terms of updating the networks and supplying the Chromebooks and all this kind of stuff.

716
01:45:56.400 --> 01:46:01.710
Samy Nada: That has been kind of rushed into for to deal with the carbon and what are all the recent events.

717
01:46:03.990 --> 01:46:11.730
Samy Nada: And one very important point that I'd like to make us even though it's all what eventually this year so far all the projects are all the planning.

718
01:46:12.180 --> 01:46:27.840
Samy Nada: Is almost according to the schedule. So which is which is great, which means that the staff was doing an excellent job of making sure that everything going to plan, regardless of all the interruption, that that would happen early this year. So, next slide please.

719
01:46:30.240 --> 01:46:40.200
Samy Nada: So one of the major things that the staff has been working on and the bond also oversight committee has been making sure assuring it's happening is communicating all the information and being

720
01:46:40.530 --> 01:46:48.660
Samy Nada: transparent as possible to every everybody everybody in the community to know that the money. Where's the money. Spend the projects, what's going on.

721
01:46:49.890 --> 01:46:56.070
Samy Nada: Of course district has its own way or methods of communications kind of information quarter. What is one of them.

722
01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:04.740
Samy Nada: But other ways of information by by the community meeting and such. But of course, because of carbon, everything changed. So we are now.

723
01:47:05.280 --> 01:47:09.420
Samy Nada: There's a lot of stuff this this district has been doing to make sure that the deliver the same information.

724
01:47:09.630 --> 01:47:18.060
Samy Nada: By Elaine means with our online or through a mailing list and some stuff like this to make sure that the community is aware of what's going on and how far we are

725
01:47:18.930 --> 01:47:25.200
Samy Nada: How much money was spent in the bond, how much we have and all the project, but it's planned for this month or next slide please.

726
01:47:28.710 --> 01:47:30.300
Samy Nada: Another very important

727
01:47:31.500 --> 01:47:34.560
Samy Nada: Topic here even though we are still in the very early stages of it.

728
01:47:34.980 --> 01:47:46.050
Samy Nada: Is. Yeah. So when I said that the consultant console, the consulting selection has been done, but we still have a lot. There's a lot of projects need to be done, but in this body. I've seen how much might still have

729
01:47:46.410 --> 01:47:55.650
Samy Nada: To spend so so the district and the staff has been doing an excellent job by by just going out and letting everybody in all the contractors

730
01:47:56.040 --> 01:48:06.630
Samy Nada: Everybody who can be we can reach trying that this was trying to reach out to live them aware of all the projects that we have. So the goal is to have as much as diverse as possible.

731
01:48:07.050 --> 01:48:14.790
Samy Nada: When it comes to the contractor selection List of like minority went more than fair and all this kind of stuff. So the goal is to reach out to as many

732
01:48:15.240 --> 01:48:24.690
Samy Nada: Contractors out there in the area to make sure that you know all that sort of projects so he can pick an apply for the the projects that he thinks he can accomplish.

733
01:48:24.990 --> 01:48:34.110
Samy Nada: So this is still in there very early Anastasia moment, but the staff is working really hard and making sure to communicate the message. So later on when the selection Carter.

734
01:48:35.370 --> 01:48:41.640
Samy Nada: You can select the contractor to do the job and remote can talk more about the selection criteria for contractors

735
01:48:43.140 --> 01:48:44.430
Samy Nada: Next slide please.

736
01:48:46.890 --> 01:48:48.630
Samy Nada: Next slide please.

737
01:48:53.790 --> 01:48:54.060
Okay.

738
01:48:55.140 --> 01:49:06.120
Samy Nada: So I'm not gonna go through this list. Again, this is the end of the Q2 June 30 it's been two and a half Moses's that date so

739
01:49:06.990 --> 01:49:13.710
Samy Nada: A lot of stuff more than what's listed here has already been done or stuff that maybe not listed here is in progress right now.

740
01:49:14.250 --> 01:49:26.700
Samy Nada: You can just go listen to this list all the stuff that dream is going to go through more details about the, the, all the projects that's in progress or project has already been completed.

741
01:49:27.720 --> 01:49:41.580
Samy Nada: So we can just go slowly. If you want us go through this list. And with this, this concludes my presentation. I hope it was informative definitely room was going to have more details and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me about what I presented

742
01:49:43.230 --> 01:49:43.530
Samy Nada: That's it.

743
01:49:45.210 --> 01:49:46.050
Remo Douglas: Thank you, Sammy.

744
01:49:47.970 --> 01:49:57.060
Remo Douglas: If the board has Question six point. Certainly this that you know there's an opportunity here, I just wanted to jump in and say, you know, THANK YOU TO, SAMMY who

745
01:49:57.870 --> 01:50:10.290
Remo Douglas: Jumped in at the end of of what's been a very busy third quarter as a board and the district as a whole is trying to grapple with how to get school reopened for counters been very busy and so

746
01:50:11.160 --> 01:50:12.360
Remo Douglas: You know, we've been

747
01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:26.400
Remo Douglas: Pushed back to this date and the quarter, obviously, moving forward, we would look to be closer to the end of the quarter when we're doing these presentations, given that time different site I offered to say me that I could just provide

748
01:50:27.540 --> 01:50:38.550
Remo Douglas: The more recent updates through today. So the boards aware of, you know, where the projects are sitting today, especially as they might interact with the potential opening of school in person. So

749
01:50:39.960 --> 01:50:44.850
Remo Douglas: With that unless unless I see any signals from board like I'll jump in there and

750
01:50:46.230 --> 01:50:48.060
Remo Douglas: Go ahead and take the next step with presentation.

751
01:50:50.820 --> 01:51:06.060
Regan Molatore: And so remember for you do. I'm not sure if there are any questions from the board with regards to the information that was shared by Sammy. And if you're able to use the raise your hand function. Now I'm able to monitor that.

752
01:51:09.060 --> 01:51:12.510
Regan Molatore: So just give me a second to see if board members raise their hands.

753
01:51:12.960 --> 01:51:14.550
Ginger Fitch: I'm I'm struggling tonight.

754
01:51:14.550 --> 01:51:16.800
Regan Molatore: Okay, well, you go for it. Just talk ginger.

755
01:51:19.260 --> 01:51:30.960
Ginger Fitch: So on this, on the one screen, it talks about approved budget changes. Am I to understand that to mean board approved budget changes. I just need clarification on what that means.

756
01:51:33.210 --> 01:51:35.340
Remo Douglas: So typically,

757
01:51:36.390 --> 01:51:42.720
Remo Douglas: That's that's simply meaning that bond funds were transferred from one bond component to another.

758
01:51:44.040 --> 01:51:51.060
Remo Douglas: Historically, the district and the board have treated all of the funds as approved for bond projects.

759
01:51:52.140 --> 01:51:57.750
Remo Douglas: And the board is not necessarily said only this specific value to this particular project.

760
01:51:58.890 --> 01:52:04.200
Remo Douglas: Inevitably, some projects will be under budget and others will be over budget.

761
01:52:05.580 --> 01:52:16.050
Remo Douglas: And that's a very deliberate part of why, when the official literature for the election goes out that we don't break out those monies. More specifically, they're simply the whole dollar value.

762
01:52:17.460 --> 01:52:30.660
Remo Douglas: But in terms of the particular budget change you're seeing that was done intentionally and that 7.192 million. That's one of those magic numbers that I've got memorized.

763
01:52:31.440 --> 01:52:52.260
Remo Douglas: That is for our awesome grant from the state and I wanted to be able to demonstrate clearly to the board in the community where that money went so rather than just start it in the appropriate project I held it in the program fun separately and then we immediately transferred it out.

764
01:52:53.550 --> 01:53:13.410
Remo Douglas: So you can see that the two and a half million went to the third option. High School, which is the renovation additional at Creek and then the four point nearly 7 million when it's a facility improvements which is for wood Middle School. Those are the two schools that we applied.

765
01:53:14.700 --> 01:53:17.100
Remo Douglas: To the state for awesome grant funds for

766
01:53:19.050 --> 01:53:20.280
Ginger Fitch: So it'd be helpful.

767
01:53:20.280 --> 01:53:22.710
Ginger Fitch: For me, that you just make those notes below.

768
01:53:25.320 --> 01:53:25.860
Remo Douglas: We can do

769
01:53:31.380 --> 01:53:31.830
Ginger Fitch: All right.

770
01:53:33.030 --> 01:53:38.340
Regan Molatore: And I see nothing further so remote. Please continue on.

771
01:53:42.210 --> 01:53:50.160
Remo Douglas: Alright, as was mentioned, we do have active work still going. And both bonds. I think I've got another 31 slide. So we're going to

772
01:53:51.570 --> 01:53:56.490
Remo Douglas: For the sake of the poor board members who've been going for three hours already from

773
01:53:57.870 --> 01:54:05.520
Remo Douglas: Executive Session, will kind of click through, feel free to jump in if there are particular questions that will kind of rattle them off.

774
01:54:06.570 --> 01:54:16.080
Remo Douglas: This is the, I guess my opportunity up front to say, despite covert and forest fires and everything else. We're not slowing down, lots of work is happening.

775
01:54:20.040 --> 01:54:24.420
Remo Douglas: Alright, so just for the 2014 capital bond.

776
01:54:25.890 --> 01:54:40.950
Remo Douglas: The bond management team expects after these projects, who will have some minor work in 2021 with a few remaining dollars there, but by and large, what you've seen the presentation tonight will be the last of what the bond will be able to do

777
01:54:45.780 --> 01:54:51.870
Remo Douglas: Alright, first on the list is the performing arts upgrades at Westlake high school or replacing

778
01:54:52.950 --> 01:55:11.610
Remo Douglas: And upgrading a number of the fixtures both the House lighting, as well as the theatrical lighting and then updating and modernizing the controls in the auditorium and the black box theater. This is an effort to do the raising of all ships as a district frequently refers to

779
01:55:12.780 --> 01:55:19.620
Remo Douglas: With the impending construction of a new auditorium for Wilson to high school. This will bring

780
01:55:20.610 --> 01:55:25.080
Remo Douglas: Westland high school up to that same standard that we're looking to set at Wilson bill.

781
01:55:25.920 --> 01:55:32.850
Remo Douglas: The next project is the power generators for cedar oak and Stafford, these are the only two schools in the district that don't have

782
01:55:33.600 --> 01:55:50.850
Remo Douglas: power generators. They currently operate with battery backup and as we learned last year. Sometimes the batteries aren't working as well anymore, given their age, we expect the installation and function of those to be complete sometime in October.

783
01:55:52.470 --> 01:55:54.060
Remo Douglas: Lastly, just a quick note.

784
01:55:55.620 --> 01:56:00.570
Remo Douglas: We were exploring the summer the possible need to have portable classroom buildings.

785
01:56:01.590 --> 01:56:08.940
Remo Douglas: At two of our schools in order to accommodate hybrid learning under the model that the state had at that time under those restrictions.

786
01:56:10.320 --> 01:56:20.310
Remo Douglas: Operations department took all the necessary steps to secure the buildings. The permits the utilities, the contractors necessary to install those on time for school to start in September.

787
01:56:21.240 --> 01:56:37.470
Remo Douglas: Or late August. At that point, and while ultimately changing requirements meant that we didn't end up needing those things. I just wanted to take the chance to offer particular thanks to the city, city of Wilson Ville, the city of Westland, the county for the electrical

788
01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:47.910
Remo Douglas: And our designers utility contractors and the contract and partners that all came around us work together to set that projects up to succeed.

789
01:56:48.750 --> 01:57:04.950
Remo Douglas: Again, it's, it's probably to the best that it ended up not being necessary but just wanted to note that, you know, that's one of those times where the operations departments working in the background, few are no people really ever hear about it. But if we needed it, it would have been ready

790
01:57:06.060 --> 01:57:13.530
Remo Douglas: And that was something that was possible under that bond program because it already contemplated the addition of temporary spaces.

791
01:57:14.610 --> 01:57:16.830
Remo Douglas: To deal with a variety of things.

792
01:57:19.050 --> 01:57:27.900
Remo Douglas: The last few projects on there. We're going to our next stage of interior signage improvements. So we have some conflicting room numbers and various places.

793
01:57:28.830 --> 01:57:40.440
Remo Douglas: A few years ago under this bond we establish a new numbering convention for the whole district and you may recall seeing little stickers up in classroom windows with room numbers and those sorts of things.

794
01:57:41.550 --> 01:57:55.290
Remo Douglas: Now that the bond is nearly complete and we have a little bit of money left, we're able to take that next step that we'd hope to and continue to realign numbers internally, which will help for both visitors and first responders who need to enter the building.

795
01:57:57.180 --> 01:57:58.620
Remo Douglas: We're also, in closing,

796
01:58:00.300 --> 01:58:07.440
Remo Douglas: A small amount of open office space at the district operation center. This will help us to accommodate the number of staff are currently there.

797
01:58:08.040 --> 01:58:20.610
Remo Douglas: Between the new bond as well as a growing operations department that's been restructured slightly this year. So it's very, very small project there there's recently awarded

798
01:58:21.600 --> 01:58:30.240
Remo Douglas: local contractor EISA a women owned business was the successful low bidder on that one. So we're pleased to be getting to know them.

799
01:58:30.780 --> 01:58:41.640
Remo Douglas: And introduce them to our processes here at the district. And then finally we're replacing the rest of the roof at Cedar Park, part of which had been damaged year before last.

800
01:58:42.960 --> 01:58:51.780
Remo Douglas: And in a storm. So we replace that part. Now that we know the bonds got the funds for it. We're replacing the rest so quick jump through 14 bond.

801
01:58:53.310 --> 01:59:00.960
Remo Douglas: Now on to the new projects. The 19 bonds ramping up full speed. We've launched a variety of projects of all sizes.

802
01:59:02.130 --> 01:59:10.470
Remo Douglas: And the slides here will quickly go through contemplate those improvements and our progress. Oh, I'm not clicking the right button.

803
01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:14.460
Remo Douglas: There we go around the auditorium. OK.

804
01:59:15.540 --> 01:59:25.680
Remo Douglas: So the auditorium edition and renovation at Wilson bill you all are familiar with the scope, there we are working with bar architects, which is a first for us.

805
01:59:26.310 --> 01:59:40.980
Remo Douglas: They're performing very well in design. We've got a wide group of stakeholders, including district and school staff art staff from across the district as well as community partners, and particularly in the

806
01:59:42.420 --> 01:59:43.680
Remo Douglas: Community arts partners group.

807
01:59:44.790 --> 01:59:50.430
Remo Douglas: And so we're looking forward to that design progressing, we will have more information.

808
01:59:51.510 --> 02:00:03.780
Remo Douglas: On the next quarterly report for that design, but I thought I'd just throw up a quick conceptual sketch that the designers have put together for the new entry there. Hopefully you're able to see that.

809
02:00:05.100 --> 02:00:09.090
Remo Douglas: So we'll look forward to next quarter presenting that design in more detail.

810
02:00:11.130 --> 02:00:19.380
Remo Douglas: For the new middle school at Dollar Street, the design continues as well as you know we've had three community meetings so far.

811
02:00:20.010 --> 02:00:30.990
Remo Douglas: To get feedback from the community to have a chance to revise design and go back. We do expect to do that twice more over the course of the fall as the designs continued to evolve.

812
02:00:31.590 --> 02:00:44.640
Remo Douglas: And again, this is a we're going to have one slide of a rendering from this project, but the the bulk of that presentation for the design will happen next quarter so jump in. So there's a

813
02:00:45.930 --> 02:00:53.880
Remo Douglas: Early rendering. Again, this is all conceptual but some idea of what a new at Creek library might look like.

814
02:00:58.110 --> 02:01:08.460
Remo Douglas: Right. The third option high school at the current at Creek site. This project includes the addition of a new office onto the front and secure entry.

815
02:01:08.910 --> 02:01:16.050
Remo Douglas: As well as renovation of some interior spaces to accommodate career and technical education design is progressing well

816
02:01:16.620 --> 02:01:33.750
Remo Douglas: We've got a great group working together to provide feedback we've got some focus group sessions coming shortly. We have a few slides here to present that design for you tonight before we head into land use shortly this fall.

817
02:01:35.670 --> 02:01:39.900
Remo Douglas: So you'll see I think you can see my cursor. If I bring it over here.

818
02:01:41.100 --> 02:01:44.760
Remo Douglas: You can see the addition onto the front of the building and dark gray there.

819
02:01:45.810 --> 02:01:50.520
Remo Douglas: We're going to redo the Plaza, and we'll get into the detail of that a bit more in a moment.

820
02:01:52.380 --> 02:02:06.060
Remo Douglas: But you'll see that with with the office edition out front of the existing commons were needing to reroute the bus traffic very slightly, but that won't impact the function there are any of the safety of the site circulation.

821
02:02:08.340 --> 02:02:13.380
Remo Douglas: The next slide, you'll see a 3D rendering of the new edition out front of the school.

822
02:02:14.820 --> 02:02:16.470
Remo Douglas: The goal is to both

823
02:02:17.550 --> 02:02:22.470
Remo Douglas: Tie in aesthetically to what the school was already doing. And yet, create something of a new

824
02:02:23.790 --> 02:02:32.130
Remo Douglas: You know exterior and aesthetic, you know, for the students who come here to not say, well, it's, it's just my middle school that I went to before.

825
02:02:33.630 --> 02:02:41.250
Remo Douglas: And so there's been a lot of great work on the design coming up with this new aesthetic and functionally how the spaces operate.

826
02:02:42.690 --> 02:02:50.370
Remo Douglas: You'll see now for the third option. High School. The addition out front, the office spaces here.

827
02:02:51.510 --> 02:02:57.150
Remo Douglas: And then the secure entry and vestibule system here, which has become standard in the district.

828
02:02:57.930 --> 02:03:04.080
Remo Douglas: And then we're actually pushing through a new corridor around the edge of what's currently the plaza there in front

829
02:03:04.950 --> 02:03:17.190
Remo Douglas: To allow you to gradually come into the school and either enter into the Commons or proceed on to the library or the new spaces, behind which we'll look at in just a moment.

830
02:03:18.390 --> 02:03:27.690
Remo Douglas: So here's a look at what that new entry corridor might look like in the top left, you're standing in the Commons looking towards the entry.

831
02:03:28.200 --> 02:03:37.500
Remo Douglas: So normally, where you're seeing that that would seating along the floor that's currently the exterior wall or the outdoor the windows outside are

832
02:03:37.890 --> 02:03:44.490
Remo Douglas: And so that new hallway is pushing beyond it in the lower right, you see the same two people standing there.

833
02:03:45.060 --> 02:03:59.910
Remo Douglas: And so, those people are in that new entry hallway. This would display case on the right is intended for arts and that sort of display and then it gradually opens up more fully and allows passing into the Commons.

834
02:04:01.020 --> 02:04:09.810
Remo Douglas: We envision that some students may elect to eat in and around this area. Take advantage of getting to see the artwork on display, and that sort of thing.

835
02:04:12.720 --> 02:04:25.650
Remo Douglas: In the existing office space. We've been working a long time in what to do with that space and how best to use it. There's a lot of talk about, you know, hybrid learning

836
02:04:26.730 --> 02:04:39.690
Remo Douglas: You know, continued online coursework opportunities through CTE and other programs to have student group work, and as well as you know having adequate support services.

837
02:04:40.860 --> 02:04:53.460
Remo Douglas: And we had a number of iterations of turning the existing office into classrooms and ultimately kind of took a turn there and said well we keep trying to make classrooms and offices out of a space that

838
02:04:54.150 --> 02:05:02.340
Remo Douglas: Already has offices, let's think about how do we renovate the existing Office make it feel new adjust some of the spaces.

839
02:05:03.330 --> 02:05:14.250
Remo Douglas: You know, remove the all the things in the front reception area and build new and make this into a Student Services Center and small group learning

840
02:05:15.000 --> 02:05:24.390
Remo Douglas: Hybrid learning set of spaces that students could flock to and would be one of the attractive you know kind of cool places that students could go to

841
02:05:25.050 --> 02:05:37.920
Remo Douglas: And so we've got the line of offices along the left hand wall and then we've opened up what's currently the workroom and reception area we're envisioning some dynamic furnishings and equipment.

842
02:05:38.580 --> 02:05:45.570
Remo Douglas: TV screens that could be wirelessly connected to with computers that are stationed there, one of the schools copy machines.

843
02:05:46.980 --> 02:05:57.270
Remo Douglas: And some opportunities through mobile fixtures that would help to subdivide the space. So different student groups could use it, there's a lot of excitement

844
02:05:59.070 --> 02:06:06.780
Remo Douglas: You know, talking with Aaron downs and others are working with the designers about what those spaces could be for the new high school

845
02:06:07.980 --> 02:06:12.180
Remo Douglas: And then for the more direct CTE classrooms.

846
02:06:13.440 --> 02:06:21.180
Remo Douglas: We realized as we're looking into the design that we actually have two spaces that are currently double classrooms with foldable partition walls.

847
02:06:21.990 --> 02:06:35.130
Remo Douglas: And, you know, quickly came to the conclusion. Why wouldn't we remove those foldable partitions and refurbish the spaces and turn them into the new CTE space. It's got the square footage we need

848
02:06:36.060 --> 02:06:45.450
Remo Douglas: It's got the opportunities and Jason CD utilities and things where, you know, it's really the right place for that to be. It's got a Jason seats outdoors.

849
02:06:46.470 --> 02:06:53.370
Remo Douglas: You know, at the moment, we're considering Health Sciences and business. Entrepreneurship programs there, but should a future program.

850
02:06:54.570 --> 02:07:04.860
Remo Douglas: Be more centered around, you know, the need for an exterior garage door and transfer of materials, the spaces have good access for a future driveway. Should that be appropriate in the future.

851
02:07:06.120 --> 02:07:12.150
Remo Douglas: And so it's really developed kind of the whole picture of you know what the renovation and the

852
02:07:13.260 --> 02:07:17.370
Remo Douglas: Building program for this third option high school will be

853
02:07:20.280 --> 02:07:24.270
Remo Douglas: Moving on to the stadium and parking at Westland High School.

854
02:07:25.620 --> 02:07:33.780
Remo Douglas: You're familiar with the scope of that project. The design is progressing well we've had three public meetings for this project.

855
02:07:34.830 --> 02:07:42.780
Remo Douglas: As we have with the new middle school and I'm catching up on my other screen here because I've got some numbers.

856
02:07:43.920 --> 02:07:56.640
Remo Douglas: But we're now looking at the overall site view you can see the tracings of the football field and stadium that exists today. You can see skyline going up on the right up the hill.

857
02:07:57.810 --> 02:08:12.000
Remo Douglas: In the upper right hand corner you can see the new parking lot. That would be up above skyline, and the stadium. You can see faintly outlined the various walking paths which we'll get to see closer in just a moment.

858
02:08:13.410 --> 02:08:17.460
Remo Douglas: Captioned in the lower left, you can see that there's also an optional.

859
02:08:18.540 --> 02:08:30.660
Remo Douglas: parking area in the south LA which historically has been referred to as the trip lot but in the south parking lot. We're also looking at an optional extra to add some additional parking there as well.

860
02:08:32.730 --> 02:08:38.370
Remo Douglas: These are two of the renderings that some of you may have seen in our presentations to the community.

861
02:08:39.750 --> 02:08:57.510
Remo Douglas: It is showing off the end of the football field between the football field and skyline. The new pedestrian ways that will allow access to the expanded Stadium, as well as the new parking, this will all include good you know wide and appropriate

862
02:08:59.040 --> 02:09:01.860
Remo Douglas: Ada pathways accessible routes.

863
02:09:03.120 --> 02:09:12.960
Remo Douglas: And really focusing on kind of the highest goal for those accessible routes, is that the accessible route really be logically the correct route to go for everyone.

864
02:09:13.530 --> 02:09:22.410
Remo Douglas: And so if you're a visitor coming from one of the existing lower parking lots, you would enter down at the corner where the shot put currently is.

865
02:09:22.830 --> 02:09:42.540
Remo Douglas: And you would come up this wide walkway and progress up to the stance using the same ramps, as everyone else. If you're coming from the parking lot up above and going to a game, you could approach from the ADA parking stalls here and utilize the ramp, which goes

866
02:09:43.560 --> 02:09:46.980
Remo Douglas: Takes the most direct route to the stadium seating.

867
02:09:48.120 --> 02:09:56.370
Remo Douglas: On the right hand. You can just see a little bit different angle. So you can appreciate the elevation of what's happening there. There's definitely a number of stairs ramps and walls.

868
02:09:57.450 --> 02:10:01.440
Remo Douglas: But we believe it's been designed in a tasteful way.

869
02:10:02.550 --> 02:10:07.920
Remo Douglas: That is both highly functional and cost efficient as well as aesthetically pleasing.

870
02:10:10.350 --> 02:10:16.470
Remo Douglas: And during the school day when students are coming from this new upper parking lot.

871
02:10:17.670 --> 02:10:24.150
Remo Douglas: We needed to make sure that there was a very direct way for them to get to the school so that they didn't feel they needed to create a career path.

872
02:10:24.930 --> 02:10:41.040
Remo Douglas: Somewhere through the landscaping. And so I've got the opportunity to come down the sweeping staircase and go down towards the school on that main walkway and proceed directly to the school if the, if it's a student headed in for the school day.

873
02:10:43.800 --> 02:10:56.880
Remo Douglas: This is a some 3D renderings of the expanded stadium seating. You can see the lighter gray on either end. That is the expanded seating capacity, the central darker gray is the existing

874
02:10:58.860 --> 02:11:05.760
Remo Douglas: You can see that the roof lines are slightly separate which was done deliberately for code purposes.

875
02:11:07.980 --> 02:11:22.590
Remo Douglas: Here is a top down view of the stadium seating. So the central blue area is the existing seating available today. The green areas on either side are additional seating.

876
02:11:23.910 --> 02:11:27.810
Remo Douglas: And you'll notice little cutouts of each of those sections.

877
02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:34.350
Remo Douglas: One noted here others here in here. Those are the accessible seats.

878
02:11:35.670 --> 02:11:53.580
Remo Douglas: You know, the modern standards for those seedings is that there be diverse opportunities there that those seats aren't all in one place and shoved in a corner, but that there's a variety of places and levels at which they, you know, someone would be able to view the activities from

879
02:11:54.810 --> 02:12:01.500
Remo Douglas: Up above in the back, we have in red new renovated and expanded restrooms.

880
02:12:02.760 --> 02:12:13.380
Remo Douglas: And we're also adding additional storage and electrical in order to help concessions and all those other activities to function more smoothly than they do now.

881
02:12:17.580 --> 02:12:35.250
Remo Douglas: Okay, so in terms of numbers, we are looking to increase the home side stands to a total capacity of 1700 30 which is the official capacity of the high school

882
02:12:36.270 --> 02:12:47.790
Remo Douglas: In order to do that, will need to add 67 stalls on to the north, that new North parking lot. We will also include in the bid in the hopes of

883
02:12:48.510 --> 02:13:03.720
Remo Douglas: Receiving favorable bids, which we generally have in the past will have some bid alternate options for additional visitor seating. A further 32 parking spaces in the new North lot as well as

884
02:13:04.860 --> 02:13:06.840
Remo Douglas: Additional stalls in the south lot

885
02:13:07.980 --> 02:13:20.790
Remo Douglas: And so we are looking at our early estimates, which are coming together and saying, you know, we need to have some opportunities to make some choices in order to make sure that the project is moving forward.

886
02:13:22.110 --> 02:13:25.950
Remo Douglas: But, you know, here's the ultimate goal of what we'd like to do

887
02:13:27.030 --> 02:13:31.110
Remo Douglas: And we'll put it out to the contracting community and and see where the pricing comes back.

888
02:13:35.580 --> 02:13:42.270
Remo Douglas: For the new primary school at frog pond. We're not currently designing the new school itself.

889
02:13:43.290 --> 02:13:57.960
Remo Douglas: But as a prerequisite to doing that, we need to build a new storage building at our Stafford river property, which is adjacent to the Stafford primary school. We've met with Stafford Hamlet once and we'll be going back to them shortly.

890
02:13:59.040 --> 02:14:05.520
Remo Douglas: With a revised plan and we plan to go to the county for conditional use permit sometime in October.

891
02:14:06.900 --> 02:14:15.210
Chelsea King: Remarks I may question about something you said just the previous topic. Is this something you want me to write down and ask at the end, or should I post it now.

892
02:14:15.660 --> 02:14:16.050
Remo Douglas: Go ahead.

893
02:14:17.700 --> 02:14:27.000
Chelsea King: I want to make sure I understand what you just said. Because what I think I heard is that you open that one round of bids with with one set of capacity.

894
02:14:27.420 --> 02:14:44.970
Chelsea King: With the parking spots in the seating and now you're you also opened up an additional second round of bids with more parking and seating to compare cost effectiveness of we would like this, but if we could have that will do it is that, am I understanding that correctly.

895
02:14:45.360 --> 02:14:50.670
Remo Douglas: I understand your question, and I apologize for for breezing through terminology there.

896
02:14:51.810 --> 02:14:56.820
Remo Douglas: What what we do in order to make sure that we do have a bid.

897
02:14:56.970 --> 02:15:07.620
Remo Douglas: That is within budget and yet we also have the opportunity to do additional work should bids come in favorably is we establish what we call a base bid.

898
02:15:08.160 --> 02:15:20.040
Remo Douglas: And so that base bid in this case would include the expanded covered home seating to bring up the seating capacity to the schools capacity of 1700 30

899
02:15:20.760 --> 02:15:34.500
Remo Douglas: It will also include 62 parking stall or sorry 67 parking stalls in that new North parking lot and so should bids not come in overly favorably.

900
02:15:35.040 --> 02:15:58.170
Remo Douglas: We know that you know that's the baseline of what the bond said it was going to do. We said that we would come in, we would expand seating. We wanted to make it so that the whole student body could sit under that cover for any variety of reasons assemblies safety drills sporting events.

901
02:15:59.430 --> 02:16:12.870
Remo Douglas: And of course the requisite parking spaces, then at the same time in the same process, the contractors also provide prices for several alternate alternative bids.

902
02:16:14.370 --> 02:16:21.900
Remo Douglas: Right on the same bid form that they submit. So they'll give us a price for 32 additional parking stalls and the Northland

903
02:16:22.650 --> 02:16:36.780
Remo Douglas: They will give us a price for 284 additional seats on the visitors bleachers and they will give us a price for 19 additional parking stalls in the south parking lot.

904
02:16:38.010 --> 02:16:43.260
Remo Douglas: And what the district is then able to do is we get all those numbers together and we say

905
02:16:44.790 --> 02:16:52.170
Remo Douglas: Given our budget and given the pricing that we've received for contractors. What is the best combination of these numbers to do, we're

906
02:16:53.160 --> 02:17:01.020
Remo Douglas: Hopefully we're definitely taking the base bid. We certainly expect to but also what which additional alternates. Are we going to accept.

907
02:17:01.710 --> 02:17:11.400
Remo Douglas: And which appears to be in the best interest of the district. So again, it's, it's all at one time. It's together. It's a process we use

908
02:17:12.270 --> 02:17:27.300
Remo Douglas: In nearly every single one of our large bids in order to ensure that we get a number that we can accept and that we provide the opportunity to get to choose which of the additional features were able to take

909
02:17:30.960 --> 02:17:31.530
Remo Douglas: Did that help

910
02:17:39.750 --> 02:17:42.180
Chelsea King: Remote. Can you see me give you a thumbs up. I don't even know.

911
02:17:42.270 --> 02:17:43.560
Remo Douglas: Oh, sorry.

912
02:17:43.650 --> 02:17:45.660
Chelsea King: You non verbally, yes, that helps.

913
02:17:45.690 --> 02:17:53.370
Remo Douglas: Okay, yeah, just, I'm not at at the opposite. I've got I'm down one monitor. So most of you guys are off the off the side of the screen.

914
02:17:53.610 --> 02:17:53.880
Remo Douglas: Okay.

915
02:17:54.030 --> 02:17:55.770
Chelsea King: I look like your office decorating.

916
02:17:56.070 --> 02:17:57.360
Remo Douglas: No, no, I

917
02:17:57.360 --> 02:18:00.930
Ginger Fitch: Saw your back ground and we were sure that your office.

918
02:18:01.140 --> 02:18:02.790
Remo Douglas: Yeah. Yep.

919
02:18:03.330 --> 02:18:10.020
Remo Douglas: The Home Office for we kind of saw this coming and that if you saw the wall. I'm facing it actually looks like an office.

920
02:18:10.830 --> 02:18:21.210
Remo Douglas: We've got that built on this year. Okay, well, we'll continue on with the marathon of upon projects. So again, the new frog pond primary school

921
02:18:22.110 --> 02:18:38.460
Remo Douglas: That design will launch sometime probably mid 2021 we're anticipating an opening in 2024 there's a considerable amount of time there, and also doesn't force, the district to try to open three schools at three different levels, all in the same year.

922
02:18:39.900 --> 02:18:49.410
Remo Douglas: So that that project was kind of on hold, but we keep putting out the information they're reminding folks it is coming. We haven't forgotten about it. It's just not time quite yet.

923
02:18:51.750 --> 02:18:57.690
Remo Douglas: All I would be wholly inadequate to try to describe all of the technology work that's happening.

924
02:18:58.800 --> 02:19:14.430
Remo Douglas: Other than to say we've been working closely with Kurt and his team to make sure that we're getting purchase orders turned around, so that he can get technology items purchased get them up to date and get them out to the users that need them.

925
02:19:15.720 --> 02:19:30.330
Remo Douglas: I expect to have a little more time to hopefully get to chat with Kurt about the details of that and have the next quarterly report be a little more specific. But I think everyone's acknowledged, they've been exceedingly busy this quarter.

926
02:19:33.870 --> 02:19:39.720
Remo Douglas: Alright, so getting down into the final category. Here we have our facility improvements.

927
02:19:40.410 --> 02:19:54.180
Remo Douglas: And this is worded a little differently than we have in the past. Sometimes it's been called deferred maintenance or district wide improvements and I made a deliberate move to adjust that language a little to facility improvements.

928
02:19:55.290 --> 02:20:03.390
Remo Douglas: You'll see in the main front page of the report, there's no safety component listed there.

929
02:20:04.620 --> 02:20:15.720
Remo Douglas: And even the technology components, a little smaller than, you know, you might remember the original numbers being and it's because in order to effectively.

930
02:20:16.680 --> 02:20:25.860
Remo Douglas: Package this work to get good pricing to not have redundancy and contractors are have summer after summer after summer work at the same school

931
02:20:27.000 --> 02:20:37.020
Remo Douglas: We're combining a lot of those efforts together and only makes sense to bring the budget into one place and allow us to manipulate those find parts in order to have effective projects.

932
02:20:37.650 --> 02:20:44.700
Remo Douglas: It's all facility improvements includes a wide gamut of things, you know, you can you can read the list there at the top of the slide.

933
02:20:47.760 --> 02:20:55.260
Remo Douglas: Alright, so we'll, we'll now walk through the various projects that are going this summer, and then we'll jump into next summer. And we'll let you go.

934
02:20:56.820 --> 02:21:04.500
Remo Douglas: Alright, so the first one under facility improvements is five schools that received security upgrades. This includes

935
02:21:06.030 --> 02:21:10.560
Remo Douglas: New office entries, the secure entry vestibule systems that we've been doing

936
02:21:11.910 --> 02:21:23.550
Remo Douglas: It includes intrusion limiting glass classroom lockdown hardware and classroom lockdown curtains and so the five schools. You see, they're all receiving those things this summer.

937
02:21:24.900 --> 02:21:36.210
Remo Douglas: We are expecting to be substantially complete in September, although the current weather may be goofing up there a little bit. The good news is, all of the schools are moved

938
02:21:37.290 --> 02:21:39.330
Remo Douglas: In an able to use their buildings.

939
02:21:40.500 --> 02:21:55.680
Remo Douglas: You know the minor bits of work that are still happening or not impeding that in any way. And so we'll work with our contractors to as quickly as possible. Get the work completed and send them on their way. But overall, the work is turning out great.

940
02:21:56.700 --> 02:21:59.850
Remo Douglas: On the left hand side there you see Rosemount ridge Middle School.

941
02:22:00.870 --> 02:22:04.080
Remo Douglas: That large we've been referring to it as the staple

942
02:22:05.100 --> 02:22:20.250
Remo Douglas: Architectural piece there is to allow that new interior vestibule wall to come into the core doorways and allow folks to enter the reception area directly from the vestibule

943
02:22:21.450 --> 02:22:36.420
Remo Douglas: And then on the right boons ferry primary school, you may not recognize we remove that full front office cluster that was there and reorganize the vestibule on that front entry area in order to accommodate the new entry.

944
02:22:37.620 --> 02:22:46.140
Remo Douglas: That's one of the ones I I went and looked at last week and I just went, man, this is, this is perfect. This is perfect. It just works.

945
02:22:47.250 --> 02:22:50.010
Remo Douglas: So that work will continue and close shortly.

946
02:22:51.300 --> 02:22:57.900
Remo Douglas: Early this summer, we were we replaced at creaks track surfacing. You can go out there today run on a brand new track.

947
02:22:58.950 --> 02:23:04.230
Remo Douglas: We also you can see the darker green grass there. We did quite a bit of work to address.

948
02:23:05.070 --> 02:23:11.790
Remo Douglas: Some drainage problems that the schools had for a long time, you know, if you're running in lane one you you could be in water for a while.

949
02:23:12.420 --> 02:23:21.540
Remo Douglas: As you try to make your way around the track. So we're glad we had the opportunity to address that with some re grading and new piping and all that good stuff.

950
02:23:23.460 --> 02:23:34.890
Remo Douglas: We also went through Stafford primary school and replaced a lot of the flooring classrooms receives new carpet and tile and other other spaces restrooms, in particular.

951
02:23:35.400 --> 02:23:45.240
Remo Douglas: The just the flooring, you just look at it. He said that that needs to go. We've been saying it for a few years and it's great to finally get to do that. That works complete classrooms are back together.

952
02:23:47.070 --> 02:23:57.450
Remo Douglas: And then we have three final one, so don't have any photos of them, but we've got sports field lining it Wilson bill and a couple of mechanical projects happen this summer.

953
02:23:58.560 --> 02:24:09.810
Remo Douglas: Kind of those unsung hero kind of projects that make things work. A lot of people don't necessarily notice a whole lot, but that work is largely complete as well.

954
02:24:12.990 --> 02:24:24.060
Remo Douglas: So now, of course, we can't sit on our laurels having gotten done with 2020 and so we're already well on our way to design completion for a number of projects for 2021

955
02:24:25.170 --> 02:24:33.240
Remo Douglas: The first of those is our four primary schools that don't have air conditioning, we will be air conditioning all the classrooms in those schools.

956
02:24:34.530 --> 02:24:38.790
Remo Douglas: And a variety of other improvements for accessibility security.

957
02:24:40.140 --> 02:24:44.280
Remo Douglas: Lighting energy efficiency upgrades mechanical equipment upgrades, all sorts of things.

958
02:24:45.300 --> 02:24:56.940
Remo Douglas: So that project is, you know, about halfway through design, we're starting to work with principles on some of the details, but above all else, looking forward to air conditioning in every classroom in the school district.

959
02:24:59.070 --> 02:25:09.030
Remo Douglas: The next project is another major one that one of the board to be able to see before we went out for conditional use permit and that's a pretty major renovation at would Middle School.

960
02:25:10.020 --> 02:25:16.230
Remo Douglas: So we'll have the security upgrades are doing throughout the district's classroom renovations mechanical, electrical, plumbing upgrades.

961
02:25:16.980 --> 02:25:29.700
Remo Douglas: A new outdoor concession and restroom, among other things. So we're going to do a couple slides through this one the first, you probably recognize as the entry from the Boone's very side of the school.

962
02:25:30.780 --> 02:25:43.350
Remo Douglas: What you may not notice on the left hand side is that that's actually a modeling of what our new front office will look like from the exterior and so keep this vision in mind as we click into a floor plan here.

963
02:25:45.990 --> 02:25:52.710
Remo Douglas: So here you've got a simple line drawing of the entry for the school and I believe you can see my mouse cursor.

964
02:25:53.760 --> 02:26:01.530
Remo Douglas: So we're going up from outdoors. The way we were reviewing a moment ago into the vestibule, the same as all the schools.

965
02:26:02.220 --> 02:26:18.120
Remo Douglas: The other doors will be locked down, such that visitors need to go into reception and then they can check in with reception get their badge and then move on to the rest of the school. So this area here where all of these new office spaces are going is currently three classrooms.

966
02:26:19.140 --> 02:26:23.430
Remo Douglas: And it's three of the 10 classrooms, which are from the original construction.

967
02:26:24.780 --> 02:26:30.630
Remo Douglas: And what we believe is a lot of the source of the perception issues with wood is a facility.

968
02:26:31.980 --> 02:26:36.090
Remo Douglas: These old classrooms, have a kind of movable wall system that never moved

969
02:26:37.350 --> 02:26:43.350
Remo Douglas: And is not aged particularly well. And so we're moving the office here to support the new

970
02:26:43.950 --> 02:26:56.010
Remo Douglas: Entry model as well as renovating the, the two classrooms remaining on this porch and the five on the opposite side, those classrooms receive totally new walls, mechanical, electrical, plumbing,

971
02:26:56.910 --> 02:27:08.850
Remo Douglas: New casework new ceilings new lights everything the carpets, only I think four years old, I put that in a few years ago, but other than the carpet, effectively, those will be brand new spaces for students.

972
02:27:09.900 --> 02:27:17.700
Remo Douglas: Which will be a great thing for that school the porches will also see a refresh some replace lighting painting ceilings.

973
02:27:18.720 --> 02:27:23.790
Remo Douglas: In order to, kind of, you know, draw folks into those new educational spaces.

974
02:27:25.770 --> 02:27:35.430
Remo Douglas: This is just above the image. We're looking at before, where you see maker spaces, the current reception and office area at the school.

975
02:27:36.060 --> 02:27:52.500
Remo Douglas: And so we'll be demolishing a large portion of that once the new offices in place the classrooms are functioning and will be creating this maker space with storage, which is the district model. Sorry, I'm, I'm probably off camera, I'm noticing.

976
02:27:54.810 --> 02:28:01.740
Remo Douglas: And we're also moving a lot of the mechanical equipment down from the attic, where it is currently down to the ground level.

977
02:28:02.370 --> 02:28:14.460
Remo Douglas: That's both very useful for functional reasons maintenance and access as well as getting rid of the the permanent vibration that's been happening for years and years.

978
02:28:15.090 --> 02:28:24.330
Remo Douglas: Barb and I have reminisced about how exciting is that that vibration will go away after this project with her remembering her years it would

979
02:28:26.160 --> 02:28:36.480
Remo Douglas: And then an opportunity for a future phase is is being created with how this was designed in that on the left hand side of the screen.

980
02:28:37.500 --> 02:28:42.060
Remo Douglas: Where I'm outlining here is the perfect footprint for two additional classrooms.

981
02:28:43.080 --> 02:28:54.030
Remo Douglas: At this point we're going to leave the office and work room spaces as they are, do some renovation in there, help them to be functional in a new way, given the new office.

982
02:28:55.170 --> 02:28:58.800
Remo Douglas: But we've got it in our back pocket for future enrollment growth.

983
02:28:59.820 --> 02:29:05.100
Remo Douglas: Where we already know exactly how we would design and build two additional classrooms here. Should it be needed.

984
02:29:07.980 --> 02:29:10.410
Remo Douglas: And I believe this will be my final slide.

985
02:29:11.850 --> 02:29:20.970
Remo Douglas: And in order to meet some of the goals of the bond and accommodate a number of issues that that's kind of plagued would for some years.

986
02:29:21.390 --> 02:29:30.570
Remo Douglas: We've got this new edition. And if you're if you're trying to orient yourself in the top left that larger volume on the right of that image is the gym.

987
02:29:31.920 --> 02:29:46.860
Remo Douglas: And on the left, the lower side is the music wing. And so we're coming in right on the corner of that and adding a new interior corridor a restroom cluster. And then on the outside, some concessions and storage.

988
02:29:48.660 --> 02:30:03.870
Remo Douglas: And what this will allow is for outdoor athletics, which currently have no access to restrooms in the building, we can actually secure the whole corridor doors inside and allow them access to just the restrooms.

989
02:30:04.920 --> 02:30:15.780
Remo Douglas: For events that are happening at the school and also for invents in the gym and Commons. This will allow for relatively quick access to a new set of restrooms.

990
02:30:17.520 --> 02:30:18.840
Remo Douglas: So with that,

991
02:30:20.130 --> 02:30:22.110
Remo Douglas: I'm finally out of slides.

992
02:30:25.170 --> 02:30:27.540
Remo Douglas: In just as a quick conclusion.

993
02:30:28.710 --> 02:30:37.200
Remo Douglas: I'll say that I'm, I'm really proud of the team that we have built over at DMC to manage all this work. There's a lot of new faces.

994
02:30:38.280 --> 02:30:42.270
Remo Douglas: As we had to grow the team considerably folks that we didn't know six months ago.

995
02:30:43.620 --> 02:30:56.190
Remo Douglas: And the team has just stepped in ended up and pursued their work, they're strong professionals. They understand construction. They understand public education.

996
02:30:57.900 --> 02:31:10.830
Remo Douglas: And you know how the facilities can lend themselves to educational opportunities. It's been great to see all of them getting to know district staff and administrators

997
02:31:11.580 --> 02:31:20.730
Remo Douglas: Have those interactions going learning how to work together to provide the best feedback and the best result for our designs. It's going very well.

998
02:31:22.050 --> 02:31:30.510
Remo Douglas: Despite everything tried to throw at us. The team is working well we're using our digital tools, wherever necessary.

999
02:31:31.980 --> 02:31:44.100
Remo Douglas: It's actually caused a bit of a leap forward than I'd hoped for, for a couple of years on some fronts with digital progress and documents, reducing paper. Use allowing more collaboration.

1000
02:31:45.180 --> 02:31:47.850
Remo Douglas: At a number of fronts throughout design and construction. So

1001
02:31:49.170 --> 02:32:06.750
Remo Douglas: You know, from my end things are going very well. We've seen minimal delay associated with coven and where it's occurred. We haven't overcome it. Come up with a process that allows things to proceed without too much interference for schools.

1002
02:32:08.220 --> 02:32:09.720
Remo Douglas: So with that, any

1003
02:32:10.740 --> 02:32:12.330
Remo Douglas: follow up questions the board might have

1004
02:32:13.680 --> 02:32:18.960
Regan Molatore: Thank you, remote and ginger Amos looks like you might have a question your hand was raised.

1005
02:32:21.750 --> 02:32:27.360
Ginger Fitch: Actually have lots of questions. So I wonder if I should ask them at another time.

1006
02:32:28.530 --> 02:32:30.900
Ginger Fitch: Because we're well into our meeting.

1007
02:32:33.120 --> 02:32:37.020
Ginger Fitch: Or I could ask them and get responses at another time.

1008
02:32:38.220 --> 02:32:45.450
Regan Molatore: Ginger. If it's not pressing i think that that probably would be favorable or even if you submitted them in writing and then that way we could

1009
02:32:46.560 --> 02:32:53.010
Regan Molatore: Do whatever suits you. But yeah, if it's not pressing and if you're okay waiting, that'd be great if you have something you'd like to address right now.

1010
02:32:53.400 --> 02:33:01.800
Ginger Fitch: Well, I just want to say thank you for these updates the visuals were helpful in terms of the work that you're doing.

1011
02:33:02.970 --> 02:33:16.920
Ginger Fitch: At the different facilities, what is helpful for me as a board member which you've highlighted or any hurdles or barriers or particular successes, you've had, like, the impact of covert or the not impact of Kobe it on your work.

1012
02:33:17.460 --> 02:33:27.150
Ginger Fitch: Maybe. The other thing that's important for me as a board member as we're moving forward in particular, what's the impact on students specific schools.

1013
02:33:29.670 --> 02:33:36.810
Ginger Fitch: In terms of their functioning and and the community as you're working on these projects will be another important piece for me going forward.

1014
02:33:42.840 --> 02:33:49.950
Remo Douglas: Appreciate that. And then, of course, any questions as as Jeremy said if we get them in writing. Happy to jump right on it.

1015
02:33:52.650 --> 02:33:55.230
Regan Molatore: And I also want to make sure I took the time to thank

1016
02:33:55.590 --> 02:34:07.770
Regan Molatore: Him for His presentation. We went straight from Sami directly into remote and I didn't get an opportunity to acknowledge the time that Sam. Sam, he spent here this evening with us during this meeting and helping us

1017
02:34:08.910 --> 02:34:12.180
Regan Molatore: catch us up to date on the second quarter bond financials.

1018
02:34:16.380 --> 02:34:16.680
Regan Molatore: Right.

1019
02:34:16.890 --> 02:34:18.900
Regan Molatore: I don't see any

1020
02:34:18.930 --> 02:34:20.610
Regan Molatore: Other questions at the moment.

1021
02:34:21.180 --> 02:34:24.300
Regan Molatore: So thank you, remote very much

1022
02:34:24.900 --> 02:34:26.340
Kathy Ludwig: Christie Christie has a question.

1023
02:34:26.430 --> 02:34:32.280
Regan Molatore: Oh, does she think you can't see her image at the moment she raised her hand. So yes, cookie.

1024
02:34:32.550 --> 02:34:33.480
Christy Thompson: Can you hear me.

1025
02:34:33.930 --> 02:34:43.620
Christy Thompson: Yes, sorry my district computer kicked me off. So I read out so remote. Can you just explain that bathroom to me.

1026
02:34:45.240 --> 02:34:46.980
Christy Thompson: That I see in the picture there.

1027
02:34:48.420 --> 02:34:52.470
Remo Douglas: Yes, I'm, I'm, uh, I'm moving you guys around the screen so I can see it.

1028
02:34:52.920 --> 02:34:56.130
Remo Douglas: Okay, so are you able to see my cursor.

1029
02:34:56.400 --> 02:34:57.120
Christy Thompson: Yes, I can.

1030
02:34:57.450 --> 02:34:57.780
Okay.

1031
02:34:58.980 --> 02:35:15.150
Remo Douglas: So this is a newer model of restroom, what we're referring to as single occupant restrooms, and so you will see that there are not two separate individualized sets of restrooms.

1032
02:35:16.530 --> 02:35:35.580
Remo Douglas: There are groups of sinks in common areas and there are restroom stalls. When I say stalls. I mean, a full on room with real insulated sheet rock walls full wood doors with real

1033
02:35:36.780 --> 02:35:42.390
Remo Douglas: You know, same lock sets that you use for a storage room or classroom.

1034
02:35:44.760 --> 02:35:50.820
Remo Douglas: And that really is the long and short of it. We've worked with

1035
02:35:52.440 --> 02:35:58.230
Remo Douglas: A number of designers and looked at the designs of a lot of schools in the area.

1036
02:35:59.460 --> 02:36:05.460
Remo Douglas: That are, you know, moving in this direction for restrooms, and how do you do it with

1037
02:36:06.540 --> 02:36:16.080
Remo Douglas: The maximum and appropriate privacy for every individual for everyone to feel secure and safe.

1038
02:36:17.130 --> 02:36:19.080
Remo Douglas: As they're making use of those facilities.

1039
02:36:20.430 --> 02:36:23.970
Remo Douglas: And we believe that we found the right path for doing that.

1040
02:36:25.830 --> 02:36:33.900
Christy Thompson: Can I ask, are they are those individual bathroom stars are the doors and the walls Florida ceiling all the way

1041
02:36:34.650 --> 02:36:37.200
Remo Douglas: Yeah, it's there literally rooms.

1042
02:36:37.530 --> 02:36:46.890
Remo Douglas: Okay so full walls with studs and sheet rock on both sides tile a full right just the same door we put on a classroom with no window.

1043
02:36:47.340 --> 02:36:47.730
Remo Douglas: And your

1044
02:36:48.120 --> 02:36:51.480
Christy Thompson: To the individual twice the individual stalls. Correct.

1045
02:36:51.690 --> 02:36:52.470
Remo Douglas: That is correct.

1046
02:36:52.680 --> 02:36:58.260
Christy Thompson: Just the ones that look, it looks like there's a couple fully contained bathrooms as well.

1047
02:36:58.590 --> 02:36:59.520
Remo Douglas: Right, so

1048
02:37:00.900 --> 02:37:07.140
Remo Douglas: ADA has requirements around what a certain percentage of the restrooms have

1049
02:37:08.580 --> 02:37:17.970
Remo Douglas: And so those restrooms those two in this case are fully functional, including a sink, as well as the changing table.

1050
02:37:19.110 --> 02:37:20.070
Remo Douglas: And so there's

1051
02:37:21.390 --> 02:37:21.720
Remo Douglas: You know,

1052
02:37:22.020 --> 02:37:23.910
Remo Douglas: Those restrooms are more complete

1053
02:37:26.010 --> 02:37:28.530
Remo Douglas: As a sort of independent units.

1054
02:37:29.640 --> 02:37:30.090
Christy Thompson: Thank you.

1055
02:37:32.730 --> 02:37:42.240
Chelsea King: So one question I hopefully will be quick and I'm, I'm very excited about all these projects and I appreciate what you said remote about

1056
02:37:42.990 --> 02:37:54.210
Chelsea King: Capitalizing on the changes that code forced and seeing the opportunity and in those and I am curious about particularly would because it's such an extensive renovation.

1057
02:37:55.410 --> 02:38:10.770
Chelsea King: The chances of it being complete I assume that you're diving in with the opportunity of no students being present with the timeline. Does it seem realistic that it could be completed before whatever day. That is the students return to school.

1058
02:38:11.430 --> 02:38:11.850
Sure.

1059
02:38:12.930 --> 02:38:20.850
Remo Douglas: So for clarity that project wouldn't start until next summer for construction that that would have been ambitious indeed.

1060
02:38:22.110 --> 02:38:22.800
Remo Douglas: To attempt

1061
02:38:24.060 --> 02:38:29.460
Remo Douglas: And part of our goal for all of these projects, you know, you never want to run into a school year, regardless of anything.

1062
02:38:31.110 --> 02:38:45.480
Remo Douglas: And a big part of that is making sure that you're getting your bidding done far enough in advance so that you have time to work with your contractor to get long lead items something, you know, equipment and materials that take a long time to get

1063
02:38:46.500 --> 02:38:55.560
Remo Douglas: You know, we get into specialty glass products that can take 14 to 16 weeks, which if you work out the math on the summer, you realize it's you know there's there's no way you can't do it.

1064
02:38:56.880 --> 02:39:05.490
Remo Douglas: And there's a number of items there like that. And so, you know, projects like this one for would, we would look to, you know, be bidding.

1065
02:39:05.970 --> 02:39:18.480
Remo Douglas: You know, starting into that bid process. The first of the year, or, you know, sometime early 2021 and have several months to work with a contractor to prepare for the project. It's also one that will need to be phased

1066
02:39:20.100 --> 02:39:35.340
Remo Douglas: You know, we've we've tried in recent years some very ambitious projects renovating a large amount of a school. And while we succeeded. It was much more getting your teeth, and I would prefer

1067
02:39:36.660 --> 02:39:54.600
Remo Douglas: And so we're going to be looking at would on how do we phase those improvements. How do we get the classrooms, ready to go. That first summer. How do we get the office, ready to go. That for summer and you know it. Is it a big deal if that new maker space isn't ready at the start of school.

1068
02:39:56.010 --> 02:40:02.010
Remo Douglas: If we're able to encapsulate it by itself have some work happening into the fall

1069
02:40:03.060 --> 02:40:10.320
Remo Douglas: You know, those are the kinds of options that we're going to be looking at for a lot of these larger renovations. How do we phase a project in a way that

1070
02:40:11.100 --> 02:40:19.800
Remo Douglas: We hit all the critical dates, we need to for education spaces and yet we can kind of shift around a massive one for that will be welcome to high school.

1071
02:40:20.760 --> 02:40:28.530
Remo Douglas: Will need to build the whole edition, you know, and it's something like 28,000 square feet. I mean it's it's a significant building we're attaching

1072
02:40:29.820 --> 02:40:37.200
Remo Douglas: And we won't be able to manipulate the existing theater and other spaces. At the same time, and we wouldn't have any

1073
02:40:38.460 --> 02:40:47.310
Remo Douglas: And so we're looking at how do we phase that project so that we can build the new edition, get some parking going get the utilities in place.

1074
02:40:48.090 --> 02:40:58.560
Remo Douglas: Open that new building and the same summer before we open the new building. We take apart the old get all that demolition and loud work done before students return

1075
02:40:59.130 --> 02:41:07.140
Remo Douglas: And then you build out those renovated spaces through the next school year, things like that. And it's pretty typical for us.

1076
02:41:07.890 --> 02:41:17.520
Remo Douglas: It's just a part of the design and construction process. We often get pretty far along in design and make sure we know exactly what we're doing.

1077
02:41:18.300 --> 02:41:25.590
Remo Douglas: You know, and then get a sense of, you know, how much time will this take, let's make sure we're breaking it out in the right ways to make sure we can ensure

1078
02:41:26.010 --> 02:41:30.840
Remo Douglas: Not only of course baseline safety for students but also a good educational experience.

1079
02:41:31.680 --> 02:41:46.230
Remo Douglas: You don't want to be chipping out the auditorium floor while you're trying to do choir across the hall. I just, I won't go well. So yeah, there's a lot of thought and effort that has to go into that to make these larger projects work in existing buildings.

1080
02:41:49.050 --> 02:41:50.130
All right.

1081
02:41:51.870 --> 02:41:55.200
Regan Molatore: And I'm not seeing anybody else raising their hand for questions.

1082
02:41:57.570 --> 02:42:03.960
Regan Molatore: Alright, so with that Rima thank you very much for these presentations and updates.

1083
02:42:05.550 --> 02:42:08.130
Remo Douglas: Oh, well, no one was asleep when I got done so.

1084
02:42:08.280 --> 02:42:13.110
Regan Molatore: Yeah, that was good. You did good. There's, there's a lot of content to cover. So you did.

1085
02:42:13.170 --> 02:42:13.650
did great.

1086
02:42:15.000 --> 02:42:21.840
Christy Thompson: Pictures. It's so nice to put pictures with what you're describing, so that was super exciting.

1087
02:42:23.580 --> 02:42:28.590
Remo Douglas: Yeah, a lot of good work from a lot of good folks looking forward to more. Thanks everybody. All right.

1088
02:42:28.770 --> 02:42:37.950
Regan Molatore: Thank you. And then with that we will move on to our general board business and the operational group with print for re entry.

1089
02:42:38.250 --> 02:42:43.800
Regan Molatore: Section zero to three and Dr. Spencer is, first of all, I know that Dylan has a

1090
02:42:44.340 --> 02:42:56.940
Regan Molatore: Sharp 10 O'clock deadline for tonight. So he will log off at that time. And Dr. Spencer is, I know that a tremendous amount of work has been put into the operational blueprint, but also zero through three

1091
02:42:57.540 --> 02:43:10.290
Regan Molatore: Something that we personally discussed July when we thought our schools were going to open. And then we had to kind of shift and do the later sections and now we're back to 033

1092
02:43:10.710 --> 02:43:23.730
Regan Molatore: But to the extent on for the sake of brevity, you're able to just kind of fill us in on some of the new information in zero through three versus recapturing we've already

1093
02:43:24.870 --> 02:43:29.220
Regan Molatore: Been kind of shown and work through would be wonderful at this later time this evening.

1094
02:43:30.720 --> 02:43:38.700
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Absolutely. Well, thank you so much. And just so the public knows all the board members have actually gotten lots of this information already

1095
02:43:39.360 --> 02:43:53.430
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: We actually recorded ourselves a zoom explaining every part of sections one two and three of the blueprints and so I'm not going to re explain those now just suffice it to say for our families.

1096
02:43:54.510 --> 02:44:04.770
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Our collaboration with our health department, our facilities, our technology, our communications folks are nurses

1097
02:44:05.190 --> 02:44:16.860
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Are building principals our association associations, we've all been working together on this. So we resubmitted those to you as board members to take a look at, you will see that

1098
02:44:17.760 --> 02:44:25.650
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: 90% of the blueprints are the same across all 16 schools. So the ways we are approaching things are very

1099
02:44:26.250 --> 02:44:36.840
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Cohesive incoherent. There are some differences. For example, if a where exactly the screening process would take place or where

1100
02:44:37.530 --> 02:44:44.400
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: That sort of thing might be is different school to school. But other than that, we have worked very hard and we're all on the same page and

1101
02:44:44.880 --> 02:44:51.000
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: You have received those. And so I'm just going to pause and see what questions you have, because we just

1102
02:44:51.900 --> 02:45:04.230
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Want to give you that opportunity and remind our public that these need to be filed, not only our board has to approve them, then they would need to go to the Clackamas County Public Health Department to our colleagues there.

1103
02:45:04.680 --> 02:45:12.090
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: And to the Oregon Department of Education and then they will become public documents that will live on our website and they will guide us

1104
02:45:12.720 --> 02:45:22.020
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: When we are able to have students back on our campus on any one of our campuses for any kinds of reasons, as we

1105
02:45:22.920 --> 02:45:35.370
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Continue to watch the metrics of virus in our community and are so hopeful for the opportunity to get some students back as soon as we can and we are not

1106
02:45:36.300 --> 02:45:47.310
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Predicting that date at the moment, but we know that we have to have these blueprints in place before anything can happen. So with that, I will pause and see if any one from the board has questions.

1107
02:45:51.840 --> 02:45:57.270
Regan Molatore: All right. You have a question and can use your raise your hand function that would help me.

1108
02:46:01.080 --> 02:46:14.010
Regan Molatore: And Jennifer. At this time, I'm not seeing any additional questions, but I also know we have the chance in yeah after you send out those videos, we asked a lot of questions. So you're right. I don't want our community to think that we're taking lightly of this

1109
02:46:15.240 --> 02:46:26.310
Regan Molatore: But that we've already done the work and that this last presentation is more three as part of a process that's been prescribed to us by the state at this point.

1110
02:46:28.950 --> 02:46:32.610
Regan Molatore: All right, I'm not seeing anything else. So thank you.

1111
02:46:33.270 --> 02:46:34.860
Regan Molatore: Very is a

1112
02:46:35.130 --> 02:46:48.390
Regan Molatore: Tremendous amount of work led up to this. This is not as simple as it is appearing on this evening, but I do want to acknowledge all the work that we've we've been doing our ministries have been doing your department has been doing since

1113
02:46:49.410 --> 02:46:51.600
Regan Molatore: The end of last school year to get ready.

1114
02:46:51.720 --> 02:46:56.220
Kathy Ludwig: It looks like Christy Thompson has a comment or question before we wrap this up.

1115
02:46:56.280 --> 02:46:57.600
Regan Molatore: Okay, Christy

1116
02:46:57.900 --> 02:47:08.460
Christy Thompson: Yeah, not, not a question but just a comment and just that, to me this is an exciting first step to getting our kids back to school. So thank you so much, Dr. James for being on top of it.

1117
02:47:08.940 --> 02:47:19.980
Christy Thompson: And putting us. I feel like you're putting us ahead of the game so that when those numbers are favorable for us we can do what we all want to do. And, you know, start putting our kids back in. So thank you so much.

1118
02:47:20.940 --> 02:47:21.690
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Thank you.

1119
02:47:22.710 --> 02:47:23.100
Jennifer Spencer-Iiams: Team.

1120
02:47:26.520 --> 02:47:36.180
Regan Molatore: Alright and then with that we will move on to our next agenda item, which is a doctor Hughes and our financial reports.

1121
02:47:39.810 --> 02:47:43.320
Son Le Hughes: Good evening, everyone. Can you hear me well.

02:47:44.850 --> 02:47:46.290
Chelsea King: Yes, I can hear you well.

1123
02:47:50.010 --> 02:47:51.330
Son Le Hughes: I think, Jennifer, I have

1124
02:47:51.330 --> 02:47:55.890
Son Le Hughes: To get out of a cell phone so I can share my screen.

1125
02:48:03.210 --> 02:48:04.680
Chelsea King: I wonder, Jennifer, notice that

1126
02:48:07.260 --> 02:48:09.090
Chelsea King: Are Curtis, maybe in

1127
02:48:09.150 --> 02:48:12.090
Curtis Nelson: Sunlight, you have share screen available to you.

1128
02:48:12.480 --> 02:48:14.670
Son Le Hughes: I guess I do have on my computer.

1129
02:48:14.910 --> 02:48:15.990
Curtis Nelson: Go ahead and hit a

1130
02:48:17.310 --> 02:48:18.180
Curtis Nelson: Bump or off.

1131
02:48:30.060 --> 02:48:30.630
Son Le Hughes: Okay.

1132
02:48:32.730 --> 02:48:33.030
Son Le Hughes: So,

1133
02:48:34.500 --> 02:48:43.320
Son Le Hughes: This update report that we have for us on August 31 they finance or report presented to

1134
02:48:43.380 --> 02:48:44.850
Regan Molatore: Us. I'm sorry. Oh.

1135
02:48:45.120 --> 02:48:47.310
Regan Molatore: There it is, it finally came through. So, okay.

1136
02:48:47.880 --> 02:48:52.230
Son Le Hughes: Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, good evening, everyone.

1137
02:48:53.520 --> 02:49:01.170
Son Le Hughes: IN FRONT OF US state of finance. So report that focus on 10 or on one capture up to August 31

1138
02:49:01.650 --> 02:49:15.060
Son Le Hughes: This finance or report present to you in the format of the income statement that how to section. The first session at revenue section and a second section is a senator section.

1139
02:49:15.750 --> 02:49:29.130
Son Le Hughes: So this finance or report update to a flat to the resolution to Euro. Euro dash for that board member has approve on August 27

1140
02:49:30.630 --> 02:49:47.940
Son Le Hughes: Under the revenue section, you can see that the business office has turned for 1.5 million from the land proceeds from 294 to generate one 100 what the action is increase

1141
02:49:49.290 --> 02:49:59.370
Son Le Hughes: The revenue in our general fund by 1.5 million. On the other hand, is the grease the land proceeds by 1.5 million

1142
02:50:01.290 --> 02:50:22.110
Son Le Hughes: Under the expenditure, the expenditure show 154,530 3,001.5 million on this add up equal 2.9 million and this 2.9 million result from the shofar and a student investment account.

1143
02:50:22.680 --> 02:50:37.440
Son Le Hughes: And that one time cost that we have with digital curriculum and the additional 5.8 at the age that we need to hire to support the online for the secondary school and

1144
02:50:39.390 --> 02:50:56.970
Son Le Hughes: The addition of 2.9 million one time expenditure. We also have a one time saving or now utility start in July and to the, the end of October, and the appropriation of about 400 house and

1145
02:50:58.320 --> 02:51:27.210
Son Le Hughes: So what's the revenue that we train for 1.5 million from the land process into our gender on fun efficient own cost that we have and the saving we end up having 2.5 million of an infant balance estimate that up by August 31 for this year 5.5 million is about 4.3% of their total revenue.

1146
02:51:28.680 --> 02:51:55.230
Son Le Hughes: So even though 5.5 million is same a lot in this economic but as still consider as a low reserve percentage compared to the GMO a recommendation at, you know, the chip away recommendation dat the school in Detroit. Whoa, have 6000 and Romans student and more short focus on five to

1147
02:51:55.230 --> 02:51:57.750
Son Le Hughes: 15% of the ending fun barrel and

1148
02:51:59.970 --> 02:52:16.860
Son Le Hughes: So with that, I also know that some of you have a question on was a dog. What is different between the adopted but chat working budget and GM protected so I would like to take a moment here to explain it to you. They adopted by

1149
02:52:18.150 --> 02:52:37.110
Son Le Hughes: The adapted, but just a plane up our addicted finance so operation constricting up an estimate approve revenue and expenditure for the upcoming years. Normally we present the adapted purchase to the poor annually in June.

1150
02:52:38.700 --> 02:52:52.650
Son Le Hughes: Now what can, but just on the other hand, is a work in progress. So in my position as well as the business office, we look at this information on a daily basis.

1151
02:52:53.400 --> 02:53:12.180
Son Le Hughes: We consult it what a leadership team would board member we follow it and we make an adjustment so a working but just a necessary from the time that the business office can see an idea and do an idea put into action.

1152
02:53:13.320 --> 02:53:24.180
Son Le Hughes: So in here, you can say that when we consult with board member and got a proof of the 1.5 million turned for foreign land proceed into general fun

1153
02:53:24.510 --> 02:53:39.930
Son Le Hughes: We put it under to adjust this so for adapters. We have nothing but trust that during the time that a poor approve 1.5 that give us the working budget of 145 million

1154
02:53:41.880 --> 02:53:44.040
Son Le Hughes: A year and is

1155
02:53:45.480 --> 02:54:01.710
Son Le Hughes: This a will. I look at that on a monthly basis, looking ahead for the next 10 to 11 months of the current year and compare that number to the last two to three year of the actor expenditure that we have

1156
02:54:02.520 --> 02:54:18.570
Son Le Hughes: In addition, I also take into account the past financial drain and a current financial joined the market condition possible chain and management operation that arrive at the future of finding so picture.

1157
02:54:19.530 --> 02:54:29.940
Son Le Hughes: So that the difference between adapted working energy and projected that different here say that it is the difference between working and protect it.

1158
02:54:30.510 --> 02:54:49.320
Son Le Hughes: So like for example in here. We for the working budget that we have 52.5 million on local and resources at up right now. What information that I have there is not changed nothing changed in this area. So, therefore, you see the different hero.

1159
02:54:50.520 --> 02:55:06.690
Son Le Hughes: Now, here in the expenditure, the work and buttress is 61.7 million, but then we have the shop for that I factor in formed a student investment account and the additional of

1160
02:55:08.880 --> 02:55:22.890
Son Le Hughes: To support the Allies secondary school. So my year and protection. A 62.5 million that give us a different up 154,000 and so on.

1161
02:55:24.720 --> 02:55:34.950
Son Le Hughes: So that's a very much. I have for you for this month. So if you help question, I am open for that.

1162
02:55:40.320 --> 02:55:43.770
Regan Molatore: All right, what do you see if there's any hands raised.

1163
02:55:45.870 --> 02:55:51.840
Regan Molatore: I'm not seeing any so thank you Dr. Hughes, I appreciate the presentation.

1164
02:55:52.920 --> 02:55:54.180
Son Le Hughes: Thank you everyone.

1165
02:55:56.340 --> 02:55:56.700
Thank you.

1166
02:55:59.130 --> 02:56:04.860
Regan Molatore: All right. So at this point we will revisit the

1167
02:56:06.780 --> 02:56:17.070
Regan Molatore: new hires that was pulled from the consent agenda and ginger to do have a question with regards to

1168
02:56:18.150 --> 02:56:18.420
Regan Molatore: That

1169
02:56:19.410 --> 02:56:30.060
Ginger Fitch: Thanks. So as director hides has said in the past. He had certain things that he came to the board, hoping to do

1170
02:56:31.140 --> 02:56:39.330
Ginger Fitch: Things that he had campaigned on and were important to him. And one of the ones that I'm concerned about and I believe

1171
02:56:40.170 --> 02:56:50.400
Ginger Fitch: The voters were paying attention to when I was elected, was that I not be a board member that rubber stamped district actions or decisions.

1172
02:56:51.210 --> 02:57:08.130
Ginger Fitch: And so in the past, we had an opportunity to ask questions about the board higher list because it was handled in Executive Session, now that it's been placed on the Consent Agenda without any opportunity for discussion. I feel like

1173
02:57:09.390 --> 02:57:25.710
Ginger Fitch: Especially as some of the important information that I was using on the board higher list is no longer on the board higher list. I have some concerns about it functioning on the consented, and in a rubber stamp manner that is not consistent with

1174
02:57:26.730 --> 02:57:34.890
Ginger Fitch: At least what I have come to the board to understand to be a workable and proper important role.

1175
02:57:36.240 --> 02:57:38.910
Ginger Fitch: And so I have some questions about why

1176
02:57:39.990 --> 02:57:47.400
Ginger Fitch: The board higher list information has changed and about how it

1177
02:57:48.420 --> 02:57:51.240
Ginger Fitch: Whether it's properly on the consent agenda.

1178
02:57:54.270 --> 02:57:57.210
Ginger Fitch: Now that we no longer talk about it in Executive Session.

1179
02:58:06.060 --> 02:58:07.740
Regan Molatore: So, ginger, I think you

1180
02:58:09.600 --> 02:58:14.280
Regan Molatore: Can you ask more specific question, you kind of generalized why you've brought it out and he said

1181
02:58:14.280 --> 02:58:20.520
Regan Molatore: And I have kind of broad questions but um if you can be in more in particular. I think that might help.

1182
02:58:21.870 --> 02:58:23.760
Regan Molatore: To address your concerns.

1183
02:58:24.600 --> 02:58:25.920
Ginger Fitch: So one of the

1184
02:58:25.950 --> 02:58:33.060
Ginger Fitch: Board roles that I think we play in reviewing the board higher list is does it match.

1185
02:58:34.560 --> 02:58:44.490
Ginger Fitch: The budget that we've approved in terms of being accountable to the budget and in terms of f t e and also

1186
02:58:46.410 --> 02:58:54.750
Ginger Fitch: We approve a budget before we know what the state's going to fund and we rely then on different

1187
02:58:56.250 --> 02:59:12.240
Ginger Fitch: Commitments that Dr. Ludwig makes in her budget message. And those are often around hires. And so the board higher list and those discussions were an opportunity to

1188
02:59:12.840 --> 02:59:22.020
Ginger Fitch: Check. Are we consistent with the board message the budget message that Dr. Ludwig delivered, both in Ft.

1189
02:59:22.890 --> 02:59:37.770
Ginger Fitch: And and the principles of where we'd be spending money that might be additional or if we were cutting that that's consistent with those commitments that she makes in the budget message. So one is

1190
02:59:38.460 --> 02:59:46.380
Ginger Fitch: We're not getting information on the board hire list about whether these are replacements, whether they are new hires.

1191
02:59:47.640 --> 02:59:51.000
Ginger Fitch: Which was helpful in fulfilling that role.

1192
02:59:52.230 --> 02:59:53.100
Ginger Fitch: And

1193
02:59:55.440 --> 03:00:10.740
Ginger Fitch: And I believe our questions often, we were able to look at the board hire list and ask questions, consistent with if Dr. Ludwig had made a board had made a budget commitment around

1194
03:00:12.060 --> 03:00:23.940
Ginger Fitch: If we have additional money. It's going to go to more counselors or it's going to be to this kind of f t. And so, to what extent

1195
03:00:25.290 --> 03:00:30.840
Ginger Fitch: Are we now being able to review and function.

1196
03:00:32.430 --> 03:00:34.170
Ginger Fitch: Without that information.

1197
03:00:39.150 --> 03:00:39.480
Ginger Fitch: Kind of

1198
03:00:39.570 --> 03:00:53.070
Ginger Fitch: Like is it specific. It's a very general question. What does it mean now, but we're no longer addressing this in Executive Session, and yet we're still acting it. We're still placing on consent agenda.

1199
03:00:54.840 --> 03:00:55.110
Ginger Fitch: Yeah.

1200
03:00:55.140 --> 03:00:56.370
Kathy Ludwig: So it sounds like

1201
03:00:56.400 --> 03:01:10.710
Kathy Ludwig: We need to explore. Where is the process for those questions because the the impetus for the change was that we were doing it in Executive Session. And we learned that that was not the venue for it.

1202
03:01:11.310 --> 03:01:28.620
Kathy Ludwig: That personnel. The only people discussed at executive session is the superintendent and not the hires of staff that the super tenant makes should not be discussed it Executive Session. Unless we're in

1203
03:01:30.060 --> 03:01:33.000
Kathy Ludwig: One of those very narrow topics around

1204
03:01:34.110 --> 03:01:36.450
Kathy Ludwig: An issue brought forward about an employee.

1205
03:01:37.590 --> 03:01:52.980
Kathy Ludwig: A complaint or an issue. So when we learned that we were not using Executive Session. According to policy and statute. We then

1206
03:01:54.660 --> 03:02:12.720
Kathy Ludwig: Researched with other school districts. Where do you place your personnel list and the consent agenda is still a place where you can view the hires knowing the superintendent makes these and then the board approves them.

1207
03:02:13.890 --> 03:02:26.490
Kathy Ludwig: But what I hear you saying is there are members of the board who want to have discussions about these employees. So where is the process and the best venue to do that publicly

1208
03:02:28.140 --> 03:02:29.610
Kathy Ludwig: And so I think

1209
03:02:29.880 --> 03:02:30.840
Regan Molatore: Either fire.

1210
03:02:32.190 --> 03:02:34.410
Regan Molatore: Sorry to cut you off. Dr. Ludwig, but I

1211
03:02:34.530 --> 03:02:50.130
Regan Molatore: One thing I'd like to have clear down is I'm not really certain that we, that the ask is necessarily to discuss individual employees or potential employees and their qualifications for the job. What I think the question is, is more

1212
03:02:51.150 --> 03:02:53.430
Regan Molatore: How does the addition of

1213
03:02:54.900 --> 03:03:01.620
Regan Molatore: An individual in this position, and it's not about the individual, but just this additional impact.

1214
03:03:03.090 --> 03:03:10.830
Regan Molatore: Our organization as a whole and just this fiduciary check on making sure that

1215
03:03:12.030 --> 03:03:14.910
Regan Molatore: Our budget accommodates the addition of

1216
03:03:15.060 --> 03:03:20.280
Regan Molatore: This individual or this individual replacing an employee more than

1217
03:03:21.570 --> 03:03:25.530
Regan Molatore: About the actual hiring is that I'm seeing ginger.

1218
03:03:25.740 --> 03:03:26.760
Regan Molatore: Her head okay

1219
03:03:26.820 --> 03:03:28.980
Kathy Ludwig: So I'm just thinking out loud.

1220
03:03:29.070 --> 03:03:39.030
Kathy Ludwig: Is this where we could actually add more to that memo where there could be an opening paragraph that just describes

1221
03:03:40.410 --> 03:03:57.390
Kathy Ludwig: You know, you will see 18 hires below these fit within the budget. They have not exceeded would would something like that be helpful if instead of just listing the names. There was actually more of. I've seen as a little bit of a nod.

1222
03:03:59.040 --> 03:04:08.850
Kathy Ludwig: Director Fitch. So maybe we're getting closer. That way you could have that verbiage, and let's work towards it being maybe closer to what you were missing.

1223
03:04:09.990 --> 03:04:10.410
Kathy Ludwig: Okay.

1224
03:04:11.340 --> 03:04:14.430
Regan Molatore: Because I think it's, I think the idea is you know

1225
03:04:14.910 --> 03:04:27.750
Regan Molatore: It's this balance of we're being asked to approve the contracts and we've seen the contract for each employee and there's not an objection to the contract, but we're just trying to figure out, how does this work with the grand scheme and our fiduciary duties to oversee

1226
03:04:29.940 --> 03:04:33.330
Regan Molatore: And not being able to talk about it because it's in a consent agenda.

1227
03:04:33.660 --> 03:04:48.330
Kathy Ludwig: Yeah, I want us to be careful because there were times did executive session where people asked about a specific employee where we saw the names and someone you know board member might have said, Tell me a little bit more about this one position.

1228
03:04:49.710 --> 03:05:00.330
Kathy Ludwig: Who are who are. Is there a reason. This was a replacement. So there was more liberty to do that. We were an executive session and we felt we could talk about

1229
03:05:00.780 --> 03:05:09.090
Kathy Ludwig: Again, not the merits of the employee but specific people were called out on this list, and there was sometimes a little bit of discussion.

1230
03:05:10.740 --> 03:05:14.790
Kathy Ludwig: So that's what we'll want to be careful of in terms of

1231
03:05:16.590 --> 03:05:19.410
Kathy Ludwig: Just watching that and I think we will be I think we'll be fine.

1232
03:05:20.340 --> 03:05:41.880
Ginger Fitch: So that is the other reason that it was helpful, or the other thing I'm looking for is in response to community complaints about a particular building and if we are able to say, or learn from you.

1233
03:05:44.250 --> 03:05:58.290
Ginger Fitch: These hires don't reflect a huge out flocks of retirement or people leaving a particular building. I guess that's the only other thing that I feel like

1234
03:05:59.880 --> 03:06:11.850
Ginger Fitch: We're called upon to check. Sometimes, or it helps us to be able to say we don't see any problems with a particular building requiring

1235
03:06:13.410 --> 03:06:23.790
Ginger Fitch: NEW HIRES because so many people left that and I don't know how we work around, but that's the other aspect of the board role that I think

1236
03:06:24.870 --> 03:06:45.300
Ginger Fitch: When I'm looking at a higher list is helpful for me to be able to know and to respond to the community. This is just normal retirement. Hey coven really hit us. We saw a lot more earlier ones than we expected that kind of general census, what I'm looking for.

1237
03:06:45.960 --> 03:06:46.380
Yeah.

1238
03:06:47.610 --> 03:06:53.220
Kathy Ludwig: I, I think we can do that. I mean, these are great questions. We've made a change. And now we're seeing

1239
03:06:53.460 --> 03:07:01.860
Kathy Ludwig: You know, what's the impact of that change. We were used to doing things a certain way, we've made a change to a line, but it's left a gap in some information. We were getting

1240
03:07:02.130 --> 03:07:11.190
Kathy Ludwig: So where do we now fill that gap. And that's where process wise, we need to make that determination. Is that something that in the financial update with Dr. Hughes.

1241
03:07:12.330 --> 03:07:25.170
Kathy Ludwig: You want us to add a section in there more about personnel, is it by adding this paragraph at the front of this. Maybe it's a combination of the two. Let's, let's work with it.

1242
03:07:25.920 --> 03:07:44.730
Kathy Ludwig: So if you we we can do that paragraph and resubmit this to next month, but I think Shiloh might if she was here, she would be kicking me under the table because I believe these people need a contract to work. So we've got to get them working. I can tell you that

1243
03:07:46.320 --> 03:07:49.260
Kathy Ludwig: Almost every single one of these is a replacement

1244
03:07:50.550 --> 03:08:09.270
Kathy Ludwig: That these are replacing people who have resigned retired taking a leave. We did get, you know, as our, our staff was adjusting to circumstances themselves as parents and family members requesting a one year leave. We did approve a few of those.

1245
03:08:10.770 --> 03:08:22.590
Kathy Ludwig: A number of them say temporary more than typical because we feel we need to be conservative about next year's budget and not over commit to permanent staff.

1246
03:08:23.460 --> 03:08:37.320
Kathy Ludwig: And so where we could make positions temporary we did folks still applied, they're hoping that you know they'll get rehired but it doesn't obligate us to that number of f t

1247
03:08:38.940 --> 03:08:49.080
Kathy Ludwig: As we get a clear picture of next year's budget. So we tried to be very prudent in terms of thinking about replacement staff but also thinking about the next biennium.

1248
03:08:51.150 --> 03:08:58.080
Kathy Ludwig: A lot. It looks like a lot because we asked principles also to hold as we were going through the summer and we weren't sure.

1249
03:08:58.980 --> 03:09:03.930
Kathy Ludwig: How our finances were going to work out. We got those grants that we got short on the SBA

1250
03:09:04.890 --> 03:09:13.080
Kathy Ludwig: But we felt we could have some savings and then there were just positions. We knew we needed to replace that were hard to you approve, remember the very beginning, the hard to

1251
03:09:14.070 --> 03:09:20.400
Kathy Ludwig: Recruit positions where we said, we've just got to move on these because these are hard to find their specialized

1252
03:09:20.790 --> 03:09:28.830
Kathy Ludwig: And then we waited on a lot more of the general education classroom positions that third grade teacher, a second grade teacher, where the pool is larger.

1253
03:09:29.190 --> 03:09:38.850
Kathy Ludwig: And we waited till later this summer. So principles were chomping at the bit to move on these especially with school starting up but got them in

1254
03:09:39.600 --> 03:09:51.240
Kathy Ludwig: at the 11th hour those couple of weeks before. So that's why there appears so many we asked them to wait and to really make sure that our budget was where it was in terms of

1255
03:09:52.680 --> 03:09:59.730
Kathy Ludwig: Us being able to secure those additional funds and and feel more confident going into the year

1256
03:10:02.910 --> 03:10:05.010
Ginger Fitch: Did you want a motion chair, then

1257
03:10:05.580 --> 03:10:06.390
Regan Molatore: Yes, please.

1258
03:10:07.140 --> 03:10:08.490
We approve.

1259
03:10:09.780 --> 03:10:11.790
Ginger Fitch: Agenda. How do you want me to

1260
03:10:11.850 --> 03:10:13.170
Regan Molatore: Say the new hire

1261
03:10:14.280 --> 03:10:16.140
Regan Molatore: Was in the consent agenda.

1262
03:10:16.680 --> 03:10:23.130
Ginger Fitch: I move that the Board approve the new hire list provided by honest Waldron.

1263
03:10:25.290 --> 03:10:26.040
Christy Thompson: All second

1264
03:10:26.640 --> 03:10:32.790
Regan Molatore: All right, because move by ginger seconded by Christy, I assume no further discussion.

1265
03:10:34.140 --> 03:10:35.940
Regan Molatore: All right, Kelly would you call for a vote, please.

1266
03:10:36.570 --> 03:10:37.320
Kelly Douglas: As the king.

1267
03:10:37.920 --> 03:10:39.480
Kelly Douglas: I'm in, Jeff.

1268
03:10:40.620 --> 03:10:40.860
Kelly Douglas: Hi.

1269
03:10:42.150 --> 03:10:42.990
Kelly Douglas: Mr. Thompson.

1270
03:10:43.680 --> 03:10:45.720
Kelly Douglas: high ranking military

1271
03:10:46.230 --> 03:10:48.000
Yes, thank you.

1272
03:10:49.980 --> 03:10:55.470
Regan Molatore: Thank you. All right. Two more, two more items team.

1273
03:10:57.120 --> 03:11:04.140
Regan Molatore: So I just want to real fast with probably the help of Dr. Ludwig and Chelsea revisit and chill.

1274
03:11:04.440 --> 03:11:06.360
Regan Molatore: Dr. Ludwig has an

1275
03:11:07.020 --> 03:11:17.700
Regan Molatore: With regards to kind of a proposed review and evaluation for the school resource officer program that I'm hoping she can post

1276
03:11:19.140 --> 03:11:22.020
Regan Molatore: On the screen and you will

1277
03:11:23.640 --> 03:11:29.730
Regan Molatore: Notice me give it just a quick second here to get a little bigger.

1278
03:11:31.320 --> 03:11:31.800
Regan Molatore: All right.

1279
03:11:33.720 --> 03:11:45.720
Regan Molatore: It is a kind of coming of five parts and will slowly scroll through them. But that first part of the review of the current program would

1280
03:11:46.320 --> 03:11:56.100
Regan Molatore: Take like the work to gather and provide that information would take place in September and October, and it is information that would be being provided to us.

1281
03:11:56.550 --> 03:12:10.140
Regan Molatore: By our or in conjunction with our school district and our local police departments, both in Westland and Wilson Ville, and this would be an opportunity for our police departments to share

1282
03:12:10.980 --> 03:12:33.990
Regan Molatore: Their information about their SRO program. You know what history. They've had with our district and the cost for those services student demographic data student referral data and recruit recruit meant training and also like when they

1283
03:12:35.910 --> 03:12:39.030
Regan Molatore: Notice that there's a job opening for an SRO

1284
03:12:39.060 --> 03:12:46.830
Regan Molatore: What does their sample job description for that look like as well as any additional reference material and

1285
03:12:48.060 --> 03:12:55.290
Regan Molatore: That would be an opportunity to for local police firms just kind of gather their information about

1286
03:12:57.000 --> 03:13:15.600
Regan Molatore: Their, their, their us our program and be able to share that with us, then we under section two would also be collecting feedback and input from our school community and that we would start to begin here.

1287
03:13:16.680 --> 03:13:28.590
Regan Molatore: Probably after the board reviews that this evening, and we would look to, you know, survey our larger community. We can survey, staff, students

1288
03:13:29.760 --> 03:13:33.210
Regan Molatore: Work around some focus groups of students and

1289
03:13:34.590 --> 03:13:42.060
Regan Molatore: Just getting a feel from our community about what their experiences are with the SRO program and their thoughts and impressions.

1290
03:13:43.230 --> 03:13:56.370
Regan Molatore: Then under the third one, it would be hi Marilee are district administration that would be charged with researching other models of school security programs.

1291
03:13:56.970 --> 03:14:17.760
Regan Molatore: And just kind of a wandering around, you know what, what else could be done to potentially serve the same purpose. Are there other models out there. How can we compare our model to what's happening elsewhere and differentiate and just get some ideas of potential ways we can

1292
03:14:19.350 --> 03:14:21.780
Regan Molatore: Do better or do more or

1293
03:14:22.920 --> 03:14:24.300
Regan Molatore: go in a different direction.

1294
03:14:25.530 --> 03:14:45.390
Regan Molatore: And then section four is then once it's taking that the survey and focus group feedback and having our district go through and compile that feedback and input and the also the other

1295
03:14:46.170 --> 03:14:53.820
Regan Molatore: Models of security programs as well as we had safety committees and they looked at our schools and and looked at

1296
03:14:55.110 --> 03:15:10.320
Regan Molatore: Evaluated for for safety and security and just revisiting also the comments from that examination of our school and compiling it and then the intent would be that our

1297
03:15:11.490 --> 03:15:18.690
Regan Molatore: October work session would be where we, we, as a board would receive review and discuss

1298
03:15:19.980 --> 03:15:35.640
Regan Molatore: All of this this work. So one through four and then we've also asked that as part of this work while it's a board commitment and it is our board operating procedure as well as defined by

1299
03:15:36.660 --> 03:16:00.030
Regan Molatore: Word policy that you know our board does not make decisions in the absence of receiving information and hearing a recommendation from our superintendent, so we could use our October work session to receive all this information review it ask our questions here. Our superintendents

1300
03:16:01.110 --> 03:16:10.980
Regan Molatore: Recommendation as well as have discussion amongst ourselves as to what decisions. We would like to make about that program and you will see that under

1301
03:16:12.420 --> 03:16:25.830
Regan Molatore: Bullet point Roman numeral six. So the reason I'm sharing this this evening is Chelsea, Dr. Ludwig, and I work to kind of compile this process. And I do believe

1302
03:16:27.090 --> 03:16:37.050
Regan Molatore: I've reached out to board members and they've shared with me kind of the information and data that they would be looking forward that would help them make their decisions and I do largely believe

1303
03:16:37.620 --> 03:16:47.190
Regan Molatore: We it's all encompassed in this process. And there may have been some larger asks, and questions that

1304
03:16:48.870 --> 03:17:01.560
Regan Molatore: We as a group that kind of, in essence, the discussion will have to make. But the wondering that Chelsea, Dr. Ludwig, and I had is, you know, since this is a board commitment to what extent on any

1305
03:17:02.880 --> 03:17:15.900
Regan Molatore: Any of these one through four. Do we want the board to take a more active role in or do we, you know, want to ask our administration to to do this work and gather this information.

1306
03:17:16.560 --> 03:17:27.480
Regan Molatore: For example, you would we want to potentially have a board liaison who between now and the end of October would work with the administration on

1307
03:17:28.320 --> 03:17:38.880
Regan Molatore: Potentially thinking about what would that Community Survey look like, do we just want to ask our administrators to put that survey together, or do we as a board. Want to appoint someone to to

1308
03:17:40.290 --> 03:17:43.500
Regan Molatore: Partner in that work and so

1309
03:17:44.820 --> 03:17:50.160
Regan Molatore: That was kind of some of our, our wanderings and so that's why it's it's being brought back to

1310
03:17:51.270 --> 03:17:52.080
Regan Molatore: US right now.

1311
03:17:53.100 --> 03:17:55.320
Regan Molatore: And I noticed Christy, you have your hand up.

1312
03:17:56.700 --> 03:18:09.030
Christy Thompson: Yeah, thanks. I just was wondering, can you explain student demographic data and student referral data, what exactly you mean I need a better understanding of what that refers

1313
03:18:09.750 --> 03:18:09.930
And

1314
03:18:11.100 --> 03:18:13.350
Christy Thompson: Oh, you ask that. And then asked my second question.

1315
03:18:14.010 --> 03:18:31.800
Regan Molatore: The student demographic data would be around those of incidents reported or activity happening, it would help differentiate on what is the demographic data of a student who is having interactions with our SRO and you could break it down by race and ethnicity.

1316
03:18:33.390 --> 03:18:36.900
Christy Thompson: Is that focused only on like when

1317
03:18:38.730 --> 03:18:47.880
Christy Thompson: There are, are you looking at the demographic data for students that, how would I say this, um,

1318
03:18:48.300 --> 03:18:54.270
Regan Molatore: It would be about all students and how they break down. So any student who has is

1319
03:18:57.810 --> 03:19:06.210
Regan Molatore: Has an incident in their demographic data is recorded, so if they are white, black, Hispanic, Asian

1320
03:19:07.410 --> 03:19:10.410
Regan Molatore: That's recorded, and yes, Dr. Ludwig

1321
03:19:10.800 --> 03:19:11.130
Oh, sorry.

1322
03:19:12.150 --> 03:19:15.360
Kathy Ludwig: No, I was gonna wait I was holding my hand, but I wanted you to finish.

1323
03:19:15.810 --> 03:19:18.270
Kathy Ludwig: I couldn't click the blue hand. So this is my

1324
03:19:18.360 --> 03:19:18.960
Pink and

1325
03:19:22.020 --> 03:19:23.580
Regan Molatore: Speaking of, I want to say.

1326
03:19:24.000 --> 03:19:30.540
Kathy Ludwig: They both go hand in hand, because the demographic data is going to remind us

1327
03:19:31.080 --> 03:19:42.930
Kathy Ludwig: And anyone who sees this report, what's the overall demographics of our district, so that when you then lay next to it, the referral data, you can see if there's any discrepancy

1328
03:19:43.440 --> 03:20:01.950
Kathy Ludwig: If there's any data that is disproportionate because if you only have the referral data, you'd say, Well, I don't even know how large the district is I don't even know how many students of color. There are so is this typical untypical is it out of the norm is a disproportionate.

1329
03:20:02.340 --> 03:20:11.400
Kathy Ludwig: single word we would provide the demographic data and this could certainly be, you know, a report that

1330
03:20:12.480 --> 03:20:25.200
Kathy Ludwig: The law enforcement agency should have available for transparency to anyone in the community. We want to share with you about our SRO program we happen to give this report also to the board who was doing a review.

1331
03:20:26.220 --> 03:20:30.360
Kathy Ludwig: This is what our program looks like. This is our history with the district.

1332
03:20:31.110 --> 03:20:43.410
Kathy Ludwig: This is the, this is the demographics of the district. We serve with this program. And now you can take a look at the referral data and the incidences and how we responded to calls and intervened.

1333
03:20:43.830 --> 03:20:59.850
Kathy Ludwig: And within that student referral data as share monitor mentioned there's additional demographic data. So it would be broken out gender, race, ethnicity, but you'd be able to compare it than to the overall demographic data.

1334
03:21:00.270 --> 03:21:15.060
Christy Thompson: Thank you. Okay. That was my question. So the demographic data just refers to what it, what are the demographics of our of our entire district regardless traction with SRO or not an SRO. Thank you. Okay.

1335
03:21:15.570 --> 03:21:22.470
Kathy Ludwig: It would be a shorter like we do with our report card with our district improvement plan they always say, well, first of all, described your district.

1336
03:21:22.800 --> 03:21:23.550
Christy Thompson: Okay, that makes

1337
03:21:24.060 --> 03:21:39.840
Christy Thompson: Yeah, thank you. And then I'm just out of curiosity, and maybe this is jumping ahead of the game, but just when we go to survey people and students and community and staff. I just would love like you know how, how do we make sure we get

1338
03:21:40.950 --> 03:21:53.340
Christy Thompson: A survey, you know, representing all of our different groups of students and staff and ethnicities and all that sort of stuff. I'm just curious kind of what the thought processes there. Yeah.

1339
03:21:53.370 --> 03:21:56.940
Kathy Ludwig: And we've done these kinds of surveys before, if you remember most recently.

1340
03:21:57.600 --> 03:22:08.160
Kathy Ludwig: Our student success act. Remember to get that si grant, we had to survey the community and we had to ask about various aspects of how would they like the money invested and in that

1341
03:22:08.670 --> 03:22:19.050
Kathy Ludwig: The very first question is, if you took that survey, where are you a parent. Are you a teacher or are you a student and then optional. You know, how do you identify yourself. And that's where we could have

1342
03:22:19.590 --> 03:22:29.340
Kathy Ludwig: A race, ethnicity, and those kinds of questions. And we've done that in some surveys. So you have that kind of data. Then, and then you lead in with

1343
03:22:30.150 --> 03:22:38.010
Kathy Ludwig: Now that you provide this information about who you are and how you're represented in our community. Now, here are some questions we'd like to ask you about the program.

1344
03:22:38.790 --> 03:22:49.800
Kathy Ludwig: And then that way. Just like with our essay grant and our student success at grant, we were able to then make sure that we had heard from historically underrepresented groups in our community.

1345
03:22:51.060 --> 03:22:55.980
Christy Thompson: And so when it says next to focus last survey of students, July, August, and sep tember how

1346
03:22:57.060 --> 03:22:59.130
Christy Thompson: Are we taking data that we've already gather

1347
03:23:00.240 --> 03:23:15.240
Kathy Ludwig: So if you recall initially staff was doing a review of yes or a program before the board got involved and we shared with you that we were going to do that and that we were over the summer going to query students through some focus groups.

1348
03:23:15.810 --> 03:23:24.240
Kathy Ludwig: And so we began that work in doing that, we, we got presented with some challenges. One, it was increasingly hard with coben

1349
03:23:24.990 --> 03:23:34.770
Kathy Ludwig: To reach some students who we were hoping to reach. We also discovered that some students prefer not to be in a focus group but wanted an individual phone call.

1350
03:23:35.370 --> 03:23:46.470
Kathy Ludwig: Just for more confidentiality in sharing their information and not in front of their peers, but maybe just one on one with a person who was phone calling or a family wanted to

1351
03:23:47.670 --> 03:24:00.060
Kathy Ludwig: Prefer that for their child so that slowed things down a little bit in terms of the two. And we thought, well, let's just continue those as we move into the fall because we're starting with comprehensive distance learning anyway.

1352
03:24:01.080 --> 03:24:13.950
Kathy Ludwig: Increasingly you as a board were getting more inquiries about the SRO program and you were asking questions of us. And so at your retreat you decided to take this on as one of your commitments.

1353
03:24:14.670 --> 03:24:22.020
Kathy Ludwig: So we will take the information. Some of what we already gathered this summer. And then we're going to extend it also into the fall

1354
03:24:22.560 --> 03:24:36.570
Kathy Ludwig: Will be able to reach a few more students that who are now back at school and include some more voices in that, but we don't want to discredit the voices of the students who already shared information with us in July and August.

1355
03:24:37.350 --> 03:24:45.270
Christy Thompson: Okay, thank you for that reminder that you guys had already started working on that before we made the board commitment that then that makes sense to me.

1356
03:24:49.380 --> 03:24:50.250
And ginger.

1357
03:24:53.520 --> 03:25:04.590
Ginger Fitch: Um, so you got me thinking when you included the safety committee recommendations. Now the board established

1358
03:25:06.270 --> 03:25:18.900
Ginger Fitch: To safety committees, one for secondaries, I believe, yeah. Secondary schools and one for primary schools. And I was wondering your impression. Dr. Ludwig if

1359
03:25:19.980 --> 03:25:23.790
Ginger Fitch: That's helpful division in this discussion.

1360
03:25:28.800 --> 03:25:36.630
Kathy Ludwig: Yeah, I think it certainly could be. We said keep those we could keep that those findings separated out

1361
03:25:38.550 --> 03:25:53.280
Kathy Ludwig: I, you know, frankly, it's been a little while since I've looked at it and we want to go back and with Andrew, Kelsey. Take a look at that again. And if it's helpful for you as a board to keep that separated. There's no reason why we couldn't

1362
03:25:53.850 --> 03:25:54.180
Kathy Ludwig: Well, I'm

1363
03:25:54.480 --> 03:26:02.490
Ginger Fitch: Wondering about how it applies to the overall discussion is any of the data going to be separated out. I mean, I can't

1364
03:26:03.810 --> 03:26:08.550
Ginger Fitch: Does it make any difference that we're looking at it.

1365
03:26:10.560 --> 03:26:13.020
Ginger Fitch: As primary level or secondary level. I don't know.

1366
03:26:13.020 --> 03:26:14.130
Ginger Fitch: The answer to that.

1367
03:26:17.850 --> 03:26:26.220
Kathy Ludwig: I don't know either. And I don't know if if on the front end. That's a decision. We want to pre make or do we just presented as part of our

1368
03:26:27.990 --> 03:26:43.980
Kathy Ludwig: Data to the board and say, if this is helpful in any way to reference the findings from the safety committees that the board set forward two years ago. Here it is again you'd like to reference it or take a look at it it's it's there for

1369
03:26:45.570 --> 03:26:46.800
Kathy Ludwig: Discussion and review.

1370
03:26:47.430 --> 03:26:57.660
Ginger Fitch: I'm just wondering if you are when you're doing surveys or staff. It's just all secondary or we're looking at all at the primary level.

1371
03:26:59.580 --> 03:27:01.890
Kathy Ludwig: Oh, so you're talking about the surveys now and not this

1372
03:27:02.070 --> 03:27:03.960
Ginger Fitch: Really mean the whole process.

1373
03:27:04.380 --> 03:27:04.770
Oh,

1374
03:27:08.460 --> 03:27:12.870
Kathy Ludwig: Well, I think when we ask. And again, this is where I think what

1375
03:27:14.100 --> 03:27:25.650
Kathy Ludwig: Chair mala tour and director King are suggesting to the board is how involved. This is now a commitment that you're taking on as a board so it's no longer a staff review or

1376
03:27:26.040 --> 03:27:44.850
Kathy Ludwig: Several months ago. This is a review staff was going to do. Now it's gotten larger, more involved and if the board is taking it on as a as a commitment to become involved. Do you want that kind of input into how the surveys are constructed

1377
03:27:46.740 --> 03:27:51.630
Kathy Ludwig: Do you want a liaison to provide that kind of input on behalf of the Board.

1378
03:27:52.650 --> 03:27:54.840
Kathy Ludwig: To make sure that surveys

1379
03:27:56.100 --> 03:28:03.900
Kathy Ludwig: Are constructed a certain way. I think, again, with those questions up front of how do you represent yourself before you take the survey.

1380
03:28:04.830 --> 03:28:13.950
Kathy Ludwig: It doesn't take much to add, you know, where do you have children in the school district. And what grade levels are they, because then we could filter and sort our data.

1381
03:28:14.460 --> 03:28:28.260
Kathy Ludwig: So the more parents are willing to offer up that kind of representative data. It allows us to filter and to do that kind of a, a breakout of

1382
03:28:28.920 --> 03:28:39.090
Kathy Ludwig: Which groups are giving us which kinds of information, but it is contingent on people actually filling that out because sometimes it listed as optional.

1383
03:28:39.690 --> 03:28:53.010
Kathy Ludwig: And we may not get some of that data. But what we found is, you know, most as long as the survey isn't overly cumbersome or long most survey takers will take the time to do that. It's got to be clickable and pretty easy.

1384
03:28:54.270 --> 03:28:55.830
Kathy Ludwig: And then they'll take the time to do it.

1385
03:28:57.780 --> 03:28:59.610
Ginger Fitch: And I was also thinking about

1386
03:29:01.740 --> 03:29:09.150
Ginger Fitch: youth in foster care and McKinney Vento Reese, you know, kids who are receiving McKinney Vento

1387
03:29:10.290 --> 03:29:10.770
Kathy Ludwig: Mm hmm.

1388
03:29:11.070 --> 03:29:18.780
Ginger Fitch: How I want to say benefit. Yeah. For protections and just so I think ELISA, it's a good idea.

1389
03:29:20.820 --> 03:29:21.270
Ginger Fitch: And

1390
03:29:23.070 --> 03:29:26.130
Ginger Fitch: I just think it'd be helpful to have some collaboration.

1391
03:29:26.820 --> 03:29:29.400
Kathy Ludwig: Sure. And I think if you recall

1392
03:29:31.170 --> 03:29:37.230
Kathy Ludwig: It sounding a lot like the setup for the survey is like what we did for the Student Success act of the SI K grant

1393
03:29:37.770 --> 03:29:46.410
Kathy Ludwig: There were some general surveys, we sent out. But then there were specific groups that we called upon to make sure they did the survey with us.

1394
03:29:47.070 --> 03:29:56.760
Kathy Ludwig: Because we weren't sure that either access or language would create a barrier. And so that's the beauty of these focus groups is we can make sure we also

1395
03:29:57.840 --> 03:30:02.280
Kathy Ludwig: Reach again often historically underrepresented groups.

1396
03:30:05.550 --> 03:30:07.830
Kathy Ludwig: So it sounds like a board liaison.

1397
03:30:08.850 --> 03:30:25.470
Kathy Ludwig: From which board members could direct some questions and that liaison could then bring them to regular meetings with the staff, we would be looking for someone who has time to meet pretty often because the timeline on here is tight.

1398
03:30:26.910 --> 03:30:28.740
Kathy Ludwig: We're already in the middle of September.

1399
03:30:31.140 --> 03:30:45.330
Kathy Ludwig: And one of our requests would be if the board would be so gracious, could we bump this work session to the last Monday in October, instead of the second to last Monday in October, that would give us another week.

1400
03:30:52.050 --> 03:30:57.660
Regan Molatore: So to help in the processing of this would board members like to, I mean,

1401
03:30:58.530 --> 03:31:05.460
Regan Molatore: I think that there's been this idea and I think Chelsea and I kind of arrived at as well today and Chelsea, if I'm misspeaking, let me know.

1402
03:31:05.940 --> 03:31:16.740
Regan Molatore: Of the idea of a board liaison would be good. We now need to figure out who would want to serve in that role. And we can also, I mean, you can have up to two board members.

1403
03:31:17.730 --> 03:31:34.140
Regan Molatore: Vault in that as well. So what, why don't I put a pin in that we don't have to decide who it is, but how about if I reach out to the board or if you're interested in serving in that role and let me know by the close of tomorrow. Would that be all right and then

1404
03:31:35.520 --> 03:31:38.610
Regan Molatore: We can figure that out. And I can just mail you unless you know

1405
03:31:39.450 --> 03:31:48.660
Kathy Ludwig: Could I just ask a clarifying by having two board members would we want them both present for every meeting or would they alternate

1406
03:31:49.410 --> 03:31:55.950
Kathy Ludwig: Again, it's a tight timeline and we want to recognize that all of our board members actually have full time jobs.

1407
03:31:56.340 --> 03:32:07.740
Kathy Ludwig: In addition to volunteering as board members. So it's not to restrict voices I think just had. How did the five voices, create a channel for input into the process.

1408
03:32:08.400 --> 03:32:20.460
Kathy Ludwig: So we can move move through it. That would just be a clarify or for me if so that we know whether we can hold a meeting or need to defer a meeting to wait for representation

1409
03:32:22.740 --> 03:32:22.980
Well,

1410
03:32:24.180 --> 03:32:27.180
Regan Molatore: Sorry, Chelsea. You go, I had a wondering, but go for it.

1411
03:32:28.830 --> 03:32:37.230
Chelsea King: Um, yeah, if do I okay I'll go ahead and then see if this moves the conversation forward in any way and

1412
03:32:37.740 --> 03:32:44.880
Chelsea King: I think what we have here is a situation where the administration began work. Some months ago. Prior to the board.

1413
03:32:45.180 --> 03:32:55.980
Chelsea King: Expressing interest and then the board made it very clear that we were interested in. So what's being proposed to us as a desire to collaborate, so that this to merge work that had been

1414
03:32:56.460 --> 03:33:04.740
Chelsea King: being conducted by the administration with work that the board is interested in doing. And so one strategy that we have at our disposal for

1415
03:33:05.070 --> 03:33:14.760
Chelsea King: Collaborating emerging those efforts is to have a board liaison, the extent to which that board liaison participates and all the meetings or all the details.

1416
03:33:15.210 --> 03:33:34.290
Chelsea King: Is is not necessarily, you know, is kind of to be determined by whomever that liaison is and I do hear a bit of an ask for simplicity matters, and it'd be one perhaps one person instead of two just for scheduling and the amount of communication that goes into it. So, whether that be

1417
03:33:35.730 --> 03:33:38.670
Chelsea King: You know, an additional liaison or the board.

1418
03:33:40.560 --> 03:33:50.070
Chelsea King: coming to an agreement that we sort of surrender that level of collaboration. If no individual wants to, you know, pop up.

1419
03:33:51.180 --> 03:33:56.820
Chelsea King: I think that that's also another option that's coming up, as you know, perhaps people are fatigued, either.

1420
03:33:57.480 --> 03:34:07.140
Chelsea King: By life in general. Right now, or just being the end of the night, and tomorrow morning, they'll have a breath of fresh air and send an email to the chair voluntary themselves.

1421
03:34:08.010 --> 03:34:21.810
Chelsea King: I will say, while I have a general sense of overwhelm by life in general, at this moment, adding an extensive additional responsibilities outside of being Vice Chair is not something I'm

1422
03:34:22.530 --> 03:34:30.780
Chelsea King: Jumping to. I do have particular interest in the point number three and just curiosity around what other models exist so

1423
03:34:31.170 --> 03:34:51.240
Chelsea King: I'm just letting you know chair Molotov somebody pops up and says they want to be a liaison I defer to them if nobody does. I do extend some input or efforts on behalf of point number three, but would not necessarily need to be involved with the data collections point one and two.

1424
03:34:53.640 --> 03:34:54.840
Regan Molatore: So this is my wondering

1425
03:34:56.880 --> 03:35:05.790
Regan Molatore: Because I don't the time the bandwidth to do this. But the one thing just knowing what i've i've heard what board members have shared with me about what they

1426
03:35:06.540 --> 03:35:21.300
Regan Molatore: What what information and data would be helpful for them in their decision making process is around the survey and community feedback. And so what I'm wondering is, like, if I were to volunteer to be a as a liaison if nobody else wants to, um,

1427
03:35:22.620 --> 03:35:37.410
Regan Molatore: I would love to be able to circulate a draft of what that sir what our proposed surveys and get feedback and adjust it you know based on feedback because I think that that's an area where

1428
03:35:38.970 --> 03:35:44.910
Regan Molatore: We can find ourselves having a discussion as a board and one of us would say well. Did anybody ask

1429
03:35:45.600 --> 03:35:53.340
Regan Molatore: And we'd be like, Oh, that was a brilliant question and had we thought of it, we would have asked, but no somehow we we didn't query that

1430
03:35:54.270 --> 03:36:02.880
Regan Molatore: And so that you know it'd be nice to take that work on. But somehow, you know, send that out and get a little bit of feedback. I'm

1431
03:36:03.540 --> 03:36:13.500
Regan Molatore: Just so that we don't find ourselves in a position of, oh, gee, it would have been nice to have asked, but we didn't at least all board members would have had a chance to to win.

1432
03:36:17.910 --> 03:36:18.600
Ginger Fitch: All comes

1433
03:36:21.240 --> 03:36:28.170
Ginger Fitch: And I think that's a great idea. Are you at all concerned that we would be violating public maybe mom.

1434
03:36:29.670 --> 03:36:30.240
Regan Molatore: So I was

1435
03:36:32.040 --> 03:36:45.150
Regan Molatore: We're, we're trying to elicit information from our community and we as a board are giving input on on how we elicit it's not we're not coming together to make a decision.

1436
03:36:45.840 --> 03:37:02.610
Regan Molatore: We're asking for data that ultimately will help us make a decision. So I'm not as concerned about that i would i would i would send it out, and I would want one on one feedback versus a group discussion, just because that's safer that way, but

1437
03:37:05.160 --> 03:37:05.550
Regan Molatore: That would

1438
03:37:11.400 --> 03:37:13.650
Regan Molatore: Say I'm seeing that that might be a viable.

1439
03:37:16.170 --> 03:37:28.110
Regan Molatore: Okay, so I'm gonna give everyone 24 hours to give some thought if they want to take on this and and and do it. If not, I'm happy to do it, but there is the idea is that, please.

1440
03:37:28.440 --> 03:37:37.110
Regan Molatore: There will come a time where you will get something and you know you'll have 24 hours, you have to get back to me sort of thing, because time is of the essence of that.

1441
03:37:40.230 --> 03:37:40.590
Regan Molatore: Okay.

1442
03:37:42.210 --> 03:37:48.210
Regan Molatore: All right, I think, I think we're doing, we're doing really good work. So thank you guys and I think

1443
03:37:49.050 --> 03:37:58.500
Regan Molatore: So there's one last thing on our board as we're looking at our important dates and I'm going to actually just end up circulating it by email. And if we have to revisit this

1444
03:37:58.890 --> 03:38:20.220
Regan Molatore: At our next work session board or board meeting, we can but Dr. Ludwig Chelsea and I kind of went through and drafted out what our work sessions may look like for the remainder of the year. And here's just a glance at it. I do want to, you will notice that the Monday, October 19

1445
03:38:21.570 --> 03:38:26.520
Regan Molatore: We're looking to potentially change that to the to give us an extra week for

1446
03:38:27.840 --> 03:38:33.780
Regan Molatore: collecting this information data and compiling it so I will have Kelsey

1447
03:38:36.060 --> 03:38:42.930
Regan Molatore: Kelly tomorrow just confirm that that move would be agreeable to board members.

1448
03:38:44.100 --> 03:38:47.490
Regan Molatore: But if not, then let us know immediately and we may have to

1449
03:38:49.950 --> 03:38:57.360
Regan Molatore: Be flexible. We might have to push some of this work till till November to so that we can ensure that we get the data we're looking for.

1450
03:39:00.780 --> 03:39:01.560
Regan Molatore: And

1451
03:39:04.620 --> 03:39:05.640
Regan Molatore: I'll just highlight

1452
03:39:06.660 --> 03:39:17.670
Regan Molatore: So in November. We're also thinking again about not having the work session, but instead we board members can visit the three to four schools and learn about school work plans.

1453
03:39:18.180 --> 03:39:32.040
Regan Molatore: And also in furtherance of our work around equity and on November 14 there was a keynote speaker as part of the OSB a convention is the same keynote as last year so board members could choose to do that.

1454
03:39:32.490 --> 03:39:46.170
Regan Molatore: And we were thinking about continuing our I'm sorry I skipped over the September 21 which is like next week. Is it next next week. Oh goodness I'm

1455
03:39:47.070 --> 03:40:02.370
Regan Molatore: Just a review of our policy BBA and about speaking when news reporters, call us and contact us and just so that we can all have a collective understanding of what we're supposed to do and how we're supposed to handle those situations because

1456
03:40:03.600 --> 03:40:14.220
Regan Molatore: I think we all have read it and we kind of go back and forth. And so let's let's have a meeting of the minds about what that means. And then let's clarify our policy if we need to, so that future board members understand the know

1457
03:40:15.270 --> 03:40:24.960
Regan Molatore: What's expected and then also we can start to work on our board commitment around the Long Range Planning Committee, and this would just be a short conversation.

1458
03:40:26.010 --> 03:40:30.330
Regan Molatore: I hope amongst our board members as to just kind of putting

1459
03:40:32.010 --> 03:40:40.800
Regan Molatore: Fingers in what that board commitment is and what it is that we're looking for from our Long Range Planning Committee as well as how we can make their work.

1460
03:40:41.790 --> 03:40:57.000
Regan Molatore: Worthwhile and engaging and. Okay, so then I'm skipping down to January 25th and that would then be when we could hopefully work on our third and final board commitment around

1461
03:40:58.110 --> 03:41:04.440
Regan Molatore: Figuring out what disrupt systems of racism really means to us and our work as a board.

1462
03:41:05.640 --> 03:41:14.970
Regan Molatore: Monday, February 22 is kind of blank and a filler because we always have something that comes up over the course of the year. So we've got room to handle that.

1463
03:41:15.600 --> 03:41:25.020
Regan Molatore: The idea in April, roughly, and maybe, maybe it's February after we work with the city of Wilson belt, but we did not have the opportunity to have our joint meeting with them last year.

1464
03:41:25.470 --> 03:41:36.780
Regan Molatore: Plus we were hoping to be kind of on an every other year schedule between one year with the city of Westland, and one year of the city of Wilson ville. And so this would allow us that opportunity.

1465
03:41:38.190 --> 03:41:46.350
Regan Molatore: And then once we roll into may then we get into our budget committee obligations and then June is our superintendent evaluation.

1466
03:41:47.460 --> 03:41:54.330
Regan Molatore: So if somebody thinks something was missed or there's something else that we should be covering or working on on our work sessions.

1467
03:41:55.770 --> 03:41:58.680
Regan Molatore: Please let us know and we can work to accommodate

1468
03:42:01.140 --> 03:42:01.800
Regan Molatore: All right.

1469
03:42:02.370 --> 03:42:06.870
Regan Molatore: Sorry, a lot right at the end. It's been a really long duck Ludwig

1470
03:42:07.500 --> 03:42:08.970
Kathy Ludwig: I'm so sorry I'm

1471
03:42:10.920 --> 03:42:16.080
Kathy Ludwig: Director fish, are you the liaison for the Long Range Planning Committee.

1472
03:42:17.910 --> 03:42:18.090
Ginger Fitch: For

1473
03:42:18.330 --> 03:42:28.740
Kathy Ludwig: This year, correct. Okay. And then, who, who, who is taking on kind of putting some initial talking points about what the board meant

1474
03:42:29.370 --> 03:42:41.400
Kathy Ludwig: When they drafted this Long Range Planning Committee board commitment, so that for because I'm just thinking about as Kelly and I work to help the board get prepared for Monday, what

1475
03:42:42.510 --> 03:42:52.290
Kathy Ludwig: Who are we working with in terms of gathering maybe a document or some initial talking points to begin this work, who would we be working with to

1476
03:42:52.500 --> 03:42:53.400
Kathy Ludwig: Gather that

1477
03:42:53.490 --> 03:42:57.720
Kathy Ludwig: Should we just work with future mala tour or work with you and director Fitch.

1478
03:42:59.220 --> 03:43:06.240
Regan Molatore: Why you. Why don't I be the main point of contact, knowing that will involve director Fitch in it as well. Like, it'll be both of us, but

1479
03:43:08.550 --> 03:43:10.050
Kathy Ludwig: OK, because it's already

1480
03:43:12.060 --> 03:43:14.100
Kathy Ludwig: You know, it's, it's already Monday.

1481
03:43:16.170 --> 03:43:19.290
Regan Molatore: Tomorrow, and then I will. I'll kind of

1482
03:43:20.430 --> 03:43:21.960
Regan Molatore: Share my thinking and my work.

1483
03:43:22.290 --> 03:43:25.950
Kathy Ludwig: I think if we can get a start, you know something, then obviously off to

1484
03:43:25.950 --> 03:43:34.860
Kathy Ludwig: Your colleagues, so that folks know what's expected in this work session Monday night, I think the first topic is pretty self explanatory. I'm going to look to you to maybe

1485
03:43:35.670 --> 03:43:40.320
Kathy Ludwig: Write that policy and what what's the purpose of what's the expected outcome.

1486
03:43:40.620 --> 03:43:53.850
Kathy Ludwig: Of that topic and discussion. And then what's the expected outcome of this one. I think the timing is great. Although, even though it's short because we've just elected three committee members three new committee members. We'd like to do an orientation.

1487
03:43:55.500 --> 03:44:09.840
Kathy Ludwig: onboarding with the group and for them to have some clarity, then going into their october november meetings. I think the first one is October with some clarity around what it is that the board expects of this committee could be really helpful.

1488
03:44:11.580 --> 03:44:11.850
Okay.

1489
03:44:14.040 --> 03:44:15.450
Regan Molatore: I'll set to work on that tomorrow.

1490
03:44:16.320 --> 03:44:18.690
Kathy Ludwig: Okay and Christy has I noticed she has her hand up.

1491
03:44:21.900 --> 03:44:33.060
Christy Thompson: Yeah, I just wanted to clarify and maybe I just glanced over it under the Monday, October 19 but change to 26 off to the right. It's talks about on October 9

1492
03:44:33.390 --> 03:44:42.300
Christy Thompson: The virtual training implicit bias and cultural competence from two to five. Is it that so are we all doing that together on that day from two to five.

1493
03:44:43.980 --> 03:44:48.240
Kathy Ludwig: You know, I, I just noted these I did this last year because people

1494
03:44:48.720 --> 03:44:58.020
Kathy Ludwig: We had cancelled some meetings and people were saying, what are the conferences out there, if I remember you made a commitment to each go out and learn something on your own.

1495
03:44:58.350 --> 03:45:03.480
Kathy Ludwig: The SD had some conferences OSB had some conferences. So I had just kind of listed them.

1496
03:45:03.960 --> 03:45:13.680
Kathy Ludwig: When I pulled up last year's document I noticed I had done that. So I thought, if you wanted to know what else is going on in October in terms of board learning

1497
03:45:14.430 --> 03:45:25.950
Kathy Ludwig: And your commitment to learning more continue to learn more about equity, they're having this training. It's actually free because it's virtual but you would need to sign up and Kelly could sign you up for that.

1498
03:45:26.640 --> 03:45:35.340
Kathy Ludwig: And then of course there's always the November OSPF convention and I just thought, rather than you looking it up. What's the date.

1499
03:45:36.090 --> 03:45:45.360
Kathy Ludwig: Who's the keynote speaker and just noting again that race and equity are the key topics. So it does fit with your board commitment.

1500
03:45:45.990 --> 03:46:00.000
Kathy Ludwig: That not only are you going to have an opportunity to collect and we have your own workshop that director king is working on, but you have these two other opportunities available through SBA

1501
03:46:01.320 --> 03:46:04.500
Kathy Ludwig: Should you know sometimes we hear about them too late. But, there they are.

1502
03:46:05.250 --> 03:46:16.530
Kathy Ludwig: Okay and work with Kelly to get signed up for those if you want this one I think is $50 which isn't much I think because it's virtual they save a lot of money on location and catering and those kinds of things. So

1503
03:46:17.130 --> 03:46:19.890
Christy Thompson: And he's the one we heard last year. Correct.

1504
03:46:20.130 --> 03:46:20.940
Kathy Ludwig: Yes, so we

1505
03:46:20.970 --> 03:46:35.160
Kathy Ludwig: brought him back almost like a part two, the feedback was that Dr. Marks resonated really well in terms of his message and his style to a very broad board group.

1506
03:46:36.150 --> 03:46:45.000
Kathy Ludwig: Board members out in rural areas, urban areas, who have different experiences around the equity work and maybe different places of understanding or readiness.

1507
03:46:45.780 --> 03:46:54.960
Kathy Ludwig: Felt that it hit the mark around whether it's early entry into the conversation or even for those who've been reading and discussing equity for a while now.

1508
03:46:55.620 --> 03:47:04.590
Kathy Ludwig: And so bringing back, someone who is effective to say how do you know help us go deeper in this work. I think was the thinking for over SBA

1509
03:47:05.160 --> 03:47:22.980
Kathy Ludwig: And I do believe that the keynote is going to be implicit bias in the age of Kobe 19. So what's happening today that's different than maybe even last year that, that begs us to look at equity again through a renewed lens. What, what is the landscape. This year, and how is it different.

1510
03:47:23.640 --> 03:47:30.330
Christy Thompson: And so he'll be the one doing the the conference that entire two to 5pm he'll be speaking for the

1511
03:47:30.390 --> 03:47:33.270
Kathy Ludwig: Result of doing. Yeah, he's also doing a workshop up here.

1512
03:47:33.270 --> 03:47:44.520
Kathy Ludwig: So he's going to be the keynote in November and then they've also hired him to do this trick training is to do two to five training in early October.

1513
03:47:44.970 --> 03:47:50.070
Kathy Ludwig: Thank you both, both aspects. Okay. Yeah.

1514
03:47:58.020 --> 03:47:58.590
Regan Molatore: All right.

1515
03:47:59.700 --> 03:48:00.450
Regan Molatore: And with that.

1516
03:48:01.800 --> 03:48:06.390
Regan Molatore: I'm going to call this meeting to an end. So thank you all very, very

1517
03:48:07.440 --> 03:48:12.870
Regan Molatore: Didn't want to postpone it, we had a lot to cover. So thank you all for hanging in there to the end.

1518
03:48:13.320 --> 03:48:17.400
Kathy Ludwig: And three new remarkable Long Range Planning Committee members. Well done.

1519
03:48:18.840 --> 03:48:19.920
Chelsea King: Goodbye, everybody.

1520
03:48:20.700 --> 03:48:21.750
Regan Molatore: All right. Good night.
