[0:03] it's called the Charles City it mates

[0:06] with School District Board of Education

[0:09] meeting to order number two a little

[0:25] agendas do we have any changes additions

[0:27] Corrections and I also post their sign

[0:42] motion carries

[0:43] one of welcome visitors for public

[0:45] comment will see you in your process for

[0:54] really assessment survey we have Mr

[0:58] Jerry Gallagher here again to help us

[1:00] discuss this we're so excited we have

[1:03] these special guests so Jerry's here we

[1:05] have Jerry Mitchell operations director

[1:07] under group Communications Justin -

[1:10] boring than our high school principal

[1:11] Brian Jones just so we know it's Jerry

[1:14] Gallagher probably be here with the

[1:15] first half an hour so we have things

[1:17] targeted for Kenny one way to do that

[1:22] the discussion who had to the first item

[1:25] they would like to discuss

[1:34] weirdly here also the stage person yeah

[1:53] we all know that we have some facilities

[1:56] you know you go back to 2013 you know

[1:59] when the bill school project came about

[2:01] you know this one plugin called phase 2

[2:03] you know phase 2 what we want to do with

[2:05] some high school renovations and things

[2:07] like that and now you know for a variety

[2:11] of reasons there's a little bit of a lag

[2:13] and you know the next steps on that but

[2:15] you know we've been having a lot of

[2:16] internal discussions and now we're ready

[2:18] to start having some more external

[2:20] discussions as well and you know we're

[2:23] looking at really tiny Gummidge of when

[2:26] it would you know first of all the

[2:27] timing of when we might ask the

[2:29] community to support this but also what

[2:31] it could be as well and what those

[2:33] things are because it's not just ice

[2:34] where we have needs with our secure

[2:37] entrances of the elementary you know

[2:39] there's other things we need to look at

[2:40] there's some learning opportunities with

[2:42] as we talked about pathway learning as

[2:45] we talked about so the partnership we've

[2:47] had with some of our you know with

[2:49] Niagara we talked about you know career

[2:50] based learning and those same types of

[2:52] things so that be driven that way as

[2:53] well and then also talking about you

[2:57] know what makes it sustainable what

[2:59] makes it attractive Northeast Iowa and

[3:01] you know facilities are a piece of that

[3:02] as well so I think that just kind of

[3:04] drives the discussion what what to do we

[3:06] obviously the postcard that shows us

[3:08] where the survey results showed us where

[3:11] we are in terms of understanding and

[3:15] comprehension the community of some of

[3:16] these needs so I just looking for

[3:19] guidance stuff from the board of what

[3:20] next steps may be and what we want to do

[3:23] Jerry

[3:24] together you walked on I have been

[3:27] through lots of facilities across the

[3:29] state of Iowa I'm talking about

[3:32] Washington and Lincoln and those secure

[3:34] entrances is that a common thing that

[3:36] you see where the upgrade is necessary

[3:41] yes yes and it is a common selling point

[3:48] to help drive home to folks the for lack

[3:52] of a better way to say it it gets

[3:55] people's attention when you're talking

[3:57] about safety and security it's something

[4:00] that has broad reach and heel to your

[4:03] stakeholders and so typically when I

[4:06] talk to school districts about that I

[4:09] recommend putting ads front and center

[4:11] when you're we're having conversations

[4:13] with why I'm wondering if um I'm a part

[4:20] of that safety issue would we all know

[4:22] the circles at the high school because

[4:24] there are the night lights and things

[4:26] like that and so that would be a part of

[4:29] the whole safety thing right yeah did

[4:32] you also get your foot traffic and where

[4:35] do you get most people when you're

[4:37] building it's probably with high school

[4:39] all right

[4:39] argument over the video Elementary so I

[4:43] think that and what I was in there it's

[4:47] all bit when you're selling needs you

[4:51] want to think about what makes us unique

[4:55] compared to other buildings because you

[4:58] have to assume that there is going to be

[5:00] a segment of your population that has

[5:03] been in other buildings and they've been

[5:05] in other high schools and you're those

[5:08] sight lines with those circles are so

[5:10] unique that I up again that's another

[5:13] issue that put near the top to say okay

[5:15] this is something that it worked in the

[5:18] 1960s it is not feasible now it isn't it

[5:23] isn't just a safety issue

[5:26] it's a mobility issue it's a more

[5:30] comfortable 'ti issue but for saving it

[5:33] security absolutely that's a problem

[5:35] that is a problem and also like all the

[5:39] outside doors that we have the

[5:41] two entrances yeah I was walking through

[5:44] your classrooms it might be at another

[5:47] high school that I had been in recently

[5:50] and I've had a lot of tools and so I

[5:52] know what stands out and some of those

[5:55] exit ways and entryways and classrooms

[5:58] were very unusual I guess I don't

[6:01] understand focus when the building is

[6:03] constructed but again easing the access

[6:07] is not necessarily something that I

[6:08] would want to against your high school

[6:17] what about Jerry what about learning

[6:19] spaces you know as we as we talk about

[6:21] learning spaces and into circles and in

[6:24] some of the areas that you walked in the

[6:25] high school how do those compare in

[6:28] terms of facilities to other areas that

[6:30] you've walked in the state this like

[6:33] antiquated you know it just they did not

[6:36] give me that feel of not regulation

[6:42] you're really looking at it was a city

[6:45] get kind of a learning style is what I

[6:48] thought what I want we're developing

[6:49] that this is very traditional

[6:51] instead of there's so many classroom

[6:54] settings today that have flexible

[6:57] seating you walk in if you know this is

[7:00] going to be very easy for these kids to

[7:01] collaborate I talk about my kids all the

[7:03] time always they gonna learn and it's

[7:05] just through constant conversation and

[7:07] when I wanted to your classrooms I kind

[7:09] of help this is pretty traditional which

[7:12] is okay and that's what we want but did

[7:16] you know there has to be something so as

[7:20] you've gone through other districts do

[7:22] see more flexible use spaces or do you

[7:25] see what we've kind of determined here

[7:27] is to be a traditional setup more

[7:29] flexible spaces I've even seen older

[7:32] buildings be making what they can with

[7:36] the space to modernize a little more

[7:38] effectively the motion able to do so

[7:40] mark to form a spaces that you know

[7:45] teachers can set aside time to

[7:48] collaborate students can set aside time

[7:51] to work together and I just didn't make

[7:54] those spaces are there and I saw that in

[7:56] old school I thought though at my school

[7:59] when you walked around did you see did

[8:01] you see areas where students felt

[8:03] thinking they could come

[8:04] you know Tom work on projects or

[8:09] homework things like that in high school

[8:13] yeah

[8:16] nothing comes to mind off the top of my

[8:19] head adjusted my under pressure I don't

[8:21] remember seeing that I felt that here

[8:24] kind of industrial death area was very

[8:27] strong and that there were there were

[8:29] spaces back there there's a lot in that

[8:32] area but otherwise I didn't you know I

[8:35] didn't kiss I don't remember anything

[8:38] that I saw but a couple months ago in

[8:41] part because it's good the movement of

[8:43] those circles that when you walk in

[8:45] there it just takes your attention away

[8:47] from everything else and so is it just

[8:49] hard you know physically put anything in

[8:52] there or kids to mean bit because so

[8:54] many schools now have these common areas

[8:58] you know have these places set aside for

[9:02] kids to be a little more together I

[9:04] don't remember anything like that make

[9:07] it wrong I think there's a little bit I

[9:13] mean there's kids do go in there though

[9:17] she used to like her library right and

[9:19] then I wouldn't know the computer lab

[9:21] but now people I know those seniors they

[9:29] are the senior she had launched an error

[9:30] on this in years

[9:33] and other than that it's like the study

[9:35] Hagen witnesses or Meyer or it's like a

[9:39] conference it's all the time just one

[9:46] now I don't know they might be split I

[9:48] added pounds that you don't know I know

[9:50] my soul Meyers is on the one side right

[9:52] where the desk is and then during this

[9:55] study quality other side is like more

[9:57] free range and sometimes like I know I'm

[9:59] in mr. Pittman's classroom sometimes we

[10:02] like going and the big table but it's in

[10:07] split or was where seniors are on one

[10:10] side the other those periods whatever

[10:13] wait

[10:13] and the other side versus tables yeah I

[10:16] think one of the things that the high

[10:21] school philosophy for a long time has

[10:24] will just make do with what we have

[10:27] right and I think this is

[10:31] a time where borders saying do we need

[10:34] to change that maritime

[10:37] and Brian do you want to speak to our

[10:40] strategic goals in terms of teaching and

[10:43] learning have been equity student

[10:45] leadership student engagement and

[10:47] especially you think about student

[10:48] leader statements to engagement Brian

[10:50] you wanna talk about some the

[10:50] conversations you're having as a staff

[10:52] where in the possible future of the term

[10:55] of teaching learning a little bit really

[11:03] freaking hard right now to come up with

[11:05] kind of a new model for our ice wall

[11:07] that's really focused on engagement

[11:09] that's you know kind of main purpose of

[11:11] it is that we take very strong that our

[11:13] high school right what's our goal our

[11:15] goal to prepare kids for post high

[11:16] school right and that goes a bunch of

[11:18] different directions unfortunately when

[11:20] you have you know the more traditional

[11:22] model kind of like we pointed out but

[11:25] we're not always hitting everything so

[11:27] we're really working together and oh the

[11:29] community group yesterday of some

[11:30] business leaders just kind of going

[11:32] through like what kind of things as our

[11:33] community become our kids what we're

[11:36] starting to learn is it's a lot of you

[11:37] know surprise a lot of hands on a lot of

[11:40] you know work based career based things

[11:42] which all tie into that engagement all

[11:45] the time that equity thing that when you

[11:47] just have four walls in the classroom

[11:49] and it's a little tough you know so

[11:50] we're trying to kind of get creative you

[11:52] know it's that unfortunately no it's we

[11:54] can get creative with our space but it's

[11:56] a lot better experience it's a lot

[11:58] better situation and also we can start

[11:59] to have that flexibility or in those

[12:01] common areas or he brings up a really

[12:03] good point about that kind of commentary

[12:06] one of our biggest users of that mr.

[12:07] Pittman why because he just has a

[12:09] classroom he wants to build a lot and

[12:11] have larger groups work and work on

[12:12] individual projects and that's that's

[12:14] the art of engagement that's the order

[12:16] know if you don't even student

[12:17] leadership is pieces but so as we kind

[12:20] of ran the water we're starting to see

[12:21] more anticipation those are the two

[12:31] words that you really where we have two

[12:33] themes that you really drove around if

[12:35] you think about what a new high school

[12:37] space could be be a little over the two

[12:39] words is usually pushes a lot of

[12:41] flexibility you know that it needs to be

[12:43] a flexible space it needs to be

[12:45] something we can use but it also needs

[12:47] to be a good balance you know this it's

[12:49] how can we make it so we have classroom

[12:52] time but then we also have a balance of

[12:53] really those open those large group

[12:55] things those are kind of the two big

[12:56] things that I pushed on the staff with a

[12:58] flexible space and into the balance just

[13:01] to make sure they kind of have a good

[13:02] frame of mind going into it when we

[13:04] start talking about I would be cool to

[13:06] add this kind of stuff and that's what

[13:10] I've been really pleased about is you

[13:12] know I think to the public it feels like

[13:14] nothing's been happening but there's

[13:15] been a lot of internal discussions we

[13:17] knew that any good discussion around

[13:19] what what the needs of our students are

[13:22] you know for facilities starts with

[13:24] students and starts with teachers and so

[13:27] Brian and really proud of the work he's

[13:28] done the last you know year he spent is

[13:31] having lots of one-on-one discussions

[13:32] small group discussions what are the

[13:34] needs you know what's the what's the

[13:36] strengths what the weaknesses are you

[13:38] know and what we need to approach in a

[13:39] lot of discussions with kids you know

[13:41] they know because they're the ones that

[13:42] live it every day you know and I know

[13:44] that ultimately not the ones that make

[13:45] the final decision you know the

[13:47] community makes the final decision on

[13:48] that we have to communicate that but it

[13:49] starts with it starts with our kids and

[13:51] our staff on you know what

[13:54] when we believe in with our vision

[13:55] what's our mission and then try

[13:57] facilitated discussions around that so

[13:59] that's when we give him a lot of credit

[14:01] for the work he's led on that yeah it

[14:23] was crazy like the new middle school is

[14:26] just like like we've all been talking

[14:27] about just so much more water like the

[14:29] doors moved inside his eye but you could

[14:32] like I mean well and what we really did

[14:35] our intimate gear which I don't know if

[14:37] you guys remember we focused a lot of

[14:38] that courtyard from like the cemetery

[14:41] project and so we did a lot more of like

[14:45] collaborating within groups so like my

[14:48] group we were like we did stuff with the

[14:50] cemetery and we like we're on the radio

[14:53] so that was like our thing in other

[14:55] groups we did the chapel and like that

[14:57] was an ongoing project process outside

[14:59] of our eighth grade year so like a lot

[15:02] of what we did was different that and

[15:04] the only reason we were able to do that

[15:06] was because of the way that the facility

[15:08] was set up like I would have been way

[15:09] harder a viewer to trying to try to do

[15:11] it in the old middle school eighth grade

[15:13] year so I think that the way that the

[15:15] numinous was set up that a lot of a lot

[15:17] more like group discussions and like

[15:20] just of open classrooms the ability that

[15:23] they are able to like open up all those

[15:25] doors and like we we've just get half

[15:27] the day to just work on our projects so

[15:29] it was a lot easier then I think it

[15:31] would have

[15:40] and I want to commend her staff you know

[15:42] I time in the campuses every day seeing

[15:45] a middle school how to utilize that you

[15:46] know I watch the fifth grade we were one

[15:49] of their final projects before

[15:50] Thanksgiving was a it was a

[15:51] project-based learning type of scenario

[15:54] I'd make a pumpkin farm station all the

[15:56] way throughout it well you have a

[15:57] student leadership the student agent it

[15:59] was it was so cool for some reason a

[16:01] couple kids have taken their shoes off

[16:02] during instruction time and they put the

[16:05] shoes back on I remember one of the kids

[16:06] goes you need to go wash your hands you

[16:07] should touch your shoes I mean it's

[16:09] doing leadership and engagement and you

[16:11] know they were building mock cities in

[16:13] math but you know that's not as possible

[16:16] in a really structured just for wall

[16:18] space because as I go in there using the

[16:20] caves that are using the meadows they're

[16:22] using the open space you know I they're

[16:24] making a plot map in Marshall County so

[16:28] that Boyd County you know in eighth

[16:31] grade right now and they're using all

[16:32] those spaces and that interdisciplinary

[16:34] piece and the collaboration comes from

[16:36] it I want to really credit high school

[16:38] staff and they're still doing that it's

[16:39] just a lot more difficult you know Rob

[16:41] head has got to take and do a lousy it

[16:44] was like Hawaiian it was a Hawaiian he

[16:45] was doing like a War Chant

[16:47] one day he's in the cafeteria and you

[16:50] know things going on and or you know and

[16:53] it's fine we have to be really you know

[16:56] cautious of not disrupt any classes or

[16:58] kissers have enough sectionals in the

[16:59] common space you know the main

[17:01] intersection the high school you know

[17:03] comic a face print I wear these and the

[17:06] sad part is we have so much square

[17:08] footage out there but it's just not

[17:10] utilized appropriately because you can

[17:11] there PI their circles and we're not

[17:13] able to appropriately you know utilize

[17:15] them if you think about the flow between

[17:18] at five five hundred circle or you know

[17:20] with the study hall space and it's a

[17:22] doorway we're trying to eat grass during

[17:25] passing time in a four minute passing

[17:26] time you know

[17:27] five hundred kids through a doorway that

[17:29] wine so there's just some things that

[17:31] don't make sense that you know the

[17:38] jury's got about ten minutes left what

[17:40] other questions do we have for him so we

[17:42] can make sure he gets his daughter to

[17:45] school on time guess that's why he's got

[17:47] to do such a big man yeah one of the

[17:57] things that I would recommend doing if

[17:59] you noticed in terms of this

[18:01] conversation is that I think it might

[18:04] sound simple but it takes organizational

[18:06] work has to get more children's and I

[18:09] went to tours a couple of different ways

[18:12] I would do two words that are general

[18:15] open to the public you know different

[18:18] times whether they be Saturday mornings

[18:20] or 30 nights so you're able to get

[18:24] people with different schedules in but I

[18:25] would also do very targeted invitation

[18:28] all right tours and select business

[18:34] leaders from parent groups maybe senior

[18:42] citizens

[18:42] you know just people did you know that

[18:46] you want as a board and have a really

[18:50] good dialogue list and be able to answer

[18:52] their questions and you know that they

[18:55] could help you also spread the word

[18:56] another person and you would make them

[19:00] feel engaged and important as well I

[19:02] invited now I think it's important I

[19:04] would have loved loved loved student

[19:07] engagement here this morning and I would

[19:10] encourage you to have students help to

[19:14] lead those towards

[19:16] there's ones that are living everyday

[19:18] and what's different about them

[19:20] listening these groups listening to

[19:22] students or were teachers is that

[19:25] there's just that it was advice makers

[19:27] will have by those teachers talk about

[19:30] it because they feel that there's that

[19:32] direct financial gain and windfall for

[19:36] teachers with a new building whereas the

[19:38] students

[19:39] it's just the you're just advancing

[19:42] their education and so there is a

[19:44] difference in how they listen to

[19:45] students as opposed to teachers and so I

[19:48] we have a few trusted students you know

[19:50] can be or not you're not in any way

[19:54] she'd would dictate what the students

[19:56] say we just know that they won't handle

[19:58] it well answer questions and hopefully

[20:01] it's work and of course that's not to

[20:02] say that you don't have buildings

[20:07] maintenance folks they're you know can

[20:09] call other leadership that are available

[20:12] to answer questions by with offline over

[20:15] those tours another thing that I would

[20:17] do is I would make sure they have one

[20:20] page fact sheets available very soon and

[20:25] events and you know this isn't about

[20:28] saying here's the Bovington for this is

[20:33] what we're going to do necessarily

[20:33] companies I think that it's just about

[20:36] here's where we're at this is this is

[20:39] where we're at these are some of the

[20:40] things that you know is if we need that

[20:43] we that we don't have show a couple

[20:45] pictures and an anecdote give some data

[20:48] and put it on one page for folks have to

[20:51] have that you know next to a program

[20:55] that concert or basketball we probably

[20:58] start doing to show it over because it's

[21:01] very clear than our survey and then

[21:03] we've discussed this before

[21:05] afterwards in wide gap in knowledge and

[21:09] understanding their needs so so we've

[21:13] got to start doing that if you want to

[21:15] continue your advanced constellation

[21:18] Jerry before you go just one question

[21:22] we've had a lot of the residents here in

[21:24] town we've lived in in Floyd County and

[21:26] in the district for a long time and a

[21:28] lot of them have gone to school there

[21:30] some of them have gone to school there

[21:31] and they have some strong opinions about

[21:33] you know how that facility fit them when

[21:35] they went through in their early 1970s

[21:37] do you have any maybe suggestions on how

[21:41] we can help to change that public

[21:45] opinion of it was good enough for me

[21:47] it's good enough for my kids or

[21:50] grandkids or nephews or nieces or

[21:52] whoever you want to put them all the

[21:55] most powerful our communication pieces

[21:57] that I've been a part of in recent years

[22:00] was what they students a senior in high

[22:03] school who unprompted do like an

[22:07] interview about sodas leads said exactly

[22:09] what it is you said and laid it out

[22:13] there in a way that was very much

[22:16] concise but informative by saying

[22:19] something along the lines of you know I

[22:21] hear that to my parents my grandparents

[22:22] all the time that you know that this is this was good enough for them

[22:28] that she'd be for me here's why it's not

[22:31] here's why learning has changed I don't

[22:35] work and this is what I need to be able

[22:42] to I you know someday be the head of my

[22:47] field whatever it is that I want to do

[22:49] and you have an advocate at the table

[22:51] right now somebody that I think very

[22:54] strong because what you're already doing

[22:56] is saying I've been in a space that

[23:00] allowed me that gave me that flexibility

[23:02] of learning and maybe feel comfortable

[23:04] and I've already made that transition

[23:05] into the space I didn't you know what it

[23:08] wasn't it wasn't conducive to good

[23:10] learning and so I would I would really

[23:13] recommend having some of those trustees

[23:16] to the leaders again out of trying some

[23:19] of this mess today I'm sorry it doesn't

[23:22] walk in sir

[23:24] and with levels that have become

[23:39] sawed-off ppl experience you know

[23:42] because they well they were here

[23:44] downtown and they went there and then

[23:47] they went into the circles limits right

[23:49] there all three different and they did that cemetery thing which I

[23:54] think that the parents really appreciate

[23:56] yeah I mean the community really

[23:58] appreciated they were really into it and

[24:01] way behind you they won't donated a lot

[24:03] of money you know and if we could just

[24:06] use that you know to a certain extent -

[24:11] and I think helping just like that with

[24:15] the students doom leaders say yeah it

[24:18] was good enough for you but this again

[24:20] you need because the truth is if you

[24:22] look at history there's a huge boom in

[24:25] school construction 1970s in 1962 the

[24:29] why is that I used to work baby boomers

[24:31] so the great generation raised their

[24:33] taxes to accommodate the baby boomers

[24:36] the fact I'm doing the research the

[24:37] history on this so the same thing

[24:40] happens you know a generation is having

[24:42] the high variance am willing to step up

[24:44] and do the right thing to do that I

[24:46] think you know that is part of our

[24:48] dialogue too is it's an investment and

[24:50] you know one thing I've you know we

[24:53] think that are proud of a Kennedy has

[24:56] supported our has the support of law

[24:59] enforcement took care of the jail did

[25:02] you know what now it's time to

[25:03] security prison-- herself my to take

[25:05] care of kids yeah no I'm gonna come up

[25:07] some point keep em up yeah if we do our

[25:09] job right the jail should be empty

[25:12] that's a bit of dream beginning for

[25:15] worse you're trying that's a part of our

[25:16] mission statement so society make the

[25:39] world a better place and it's making

[25:42] kids regular facility around they still

[25:44] do it but I think I didn't kill the

[25:46] Thursday company's help facility one

[25:54] additional thing about facility tours

[25:58] and again you know I apologize this is

[26:00] redundant if you want to talk about this

[26:02] but think about facility tours as a mini

[26:05] focus group or survey and so when you

[26:09] have people coming in the door you know

[26:11] right away on Saturday morning

[26:13] collaborate with them before they come

[26:16] them anyway what do you think you're

[26:18] gonna see today

[26:19] give me some initial ones the last time

[26:21] you were here didn't get some feedback

[26:23] from them

[26:24] even before they walk in and make sure

[26:26] and get there before they eat and we'll

[26:30] go let's get some comments and record

[26:31] those things that is that that's great

[26:34] information to have our messaging it's

[26:37] great information to have these are

[26:38] these little contacts for you then you

[26:41] don't know what you're gonna say maybe

[26:43] they'll come out and say well then it

[26:44] wasn't as bad as I thought well that

[26:46] still feedback if you want all of it

[26:49] and so make sure that you're evaluating

[26:51] that's true

[26:59] for 2020 we have two dates possible

[27:04] realistically for a bond vote correct

[27:07] mark Kensington Market will ever in your

[27:14] opinion every ready for March Thank You

[27:17] passage I know you wanted to tell us I

[27:20] can tell on your face I don't believe

[27:24] the you are I'm working the four other

[27:27] school districts right now ahead of

[27:29] March in or all we're already way down

[27:33] the road on requesting and the

[27:39] informational the informational pieces

[27:41] are out there we're already doing some

[27:44] video work and you know that the public

[27:47] needs by an armed robbery that you have

[27:49] because of the holiday bridge so I I

[27:52] would say I think if you use the time

[27:55] between you know wants to get back to

[27:58] break to before school ends to be able

[28:00] to do that heavy so could I ask you a

[28:38] couple questions you take two years of

[28:40] high school with perspective you know

[28:43] the area actually it was per diem rate

[28:54] when you brought that up instead

[28:57] just ask them I will tell you the

[29:01] biggest thing I've seen personally is

[29:03] there's definitely that you know a lot

[29:06] of time to do a high school total

[29:07] Britain in the middle school you know

[29:09] and you get that kind of like two

[29:11] different worlds

[29:15] what am i we bring in a conference I

[29:17] haven't seen nice what we get together

[29:18] once a month and so I was just given one

[29:21] of them as quick walk through and we

[29:23] walked through those doors in the middle

[29:24] school and it was like where am i this

[29:27] doesn't feel the same you know cuz you

[29:29] see both sides of it you know especially

[29:31] that one entryway Olsen it goes from

[29:33] brand new and modern to learner in high

[29:36] school is not something we've ever been

[29:38] intentional about to give you a bunch of

[29:40] personal feedback that's just better

[29:41] than my little observations but

[29:43] definitely something that I would argue

[29:47] that it doesn't help us when we're

[29:48] hiring no booth you to or us anything

[29:50] you know and here's what helps with

[29:52] hiring and you go in and they even when

[29:55] buildings full of people and even though

[29:56] it's not a good shade it's still warm

[29:58] and inviting we have a great family

[30:00] culture those types of things but what

[30:02] it really stinks for us is like in

[30:03] summer we're doing summer hires it's

[30:05] just an empty skeleton of the building

[30:06] and they don't have that wanted I can

[30:09] tell you we had somebody that we were

[30:10] looking at trying to hire for position

[30:12] here last year I wanted his passion was

[30:14] training conditioning and we ended up he

[30:17] an offer that I'm pretty sure we had

[30:20] talked about got some feedback when he

[30:21] saw our waiting room that was I can't

[30:23] believe that they came over and he had

[30:25] an opportunity of Minnesota of a much

[30:27] better facility he loved her family with

[30:29] her cultures at first sight but like I

[30:31] can't build a really strong straight

[30:33] munition prog-rock its kind of going in

[30:49] the right direction if on these tours

[30:53] people could see the difference what has

[30:56] happened to make that facility I do I

[31:02] mean he's talking more about what like

[31:04] they did in the shop area with machinery

[31:08] I'm guessing because I mean like the

[31:10] structure of it hasn't changed at all I

[31:11] mean they're changing like misters

[31:13] Persians yeah God was still Umbreon and

[31:16] the kids and rest version and Jessie why

[31:19] are the things that they've done

[31:20] you know they've just done it with sheer

[31:22] willpower you know they're we got that

[31:24] grant from air gas and you know thank

[31:26] Jerry he helped out with operations

[31:28] budget at two but they built by

[31:30] themselves to be welding loose we

[31:31] repainted we took all that old a

[31:34] antiquate machinery out sold at an

[31:36] auction you know we're out in the Olson

[31:37] had his classroom now they're making mad

[31:39] to a new woodshop space and then the

[31:42] renovate a little shops takes in what we

[31:43] call makerspace it's going to have a

[31:44] flexible space where they can do a lot

[31:46] of different things and Jim and Brett

[31:49] and Jesse have been really clear they

[31:52] need talking with Jimmie Johnson to

[31:53] they're actually asking to not do a lot

[31:55] of renovations down their religious

[31:57] paint

[31:58] new doors the doors are all shot those

[32:00] types of things because they realize if

[32:02] they're innovative and elsewhere image

[32:03] they make huge amount of square footage

[32:05] down there and they also realize the

[32:07] shops because it does not be pretty

[32:08] yeah and so and then doing a lot of the

[32:10] work themselves but they they both are

[32:12] in classroom out there I mean that's how

[32:14] cools in the stuff that's I noticed

[32:15] we're doing dead in the big you know

[32:22] attracted stuff all that is that he's

[32:25] got places I think it looks kind of

[32:27] messy but there's a place over here for

[32:29] this to happen and it's a place that

[32:31] we're going to have to happen it I guess

[32:33] that makes it a flexible space right and

[32:39] I know like he has like obviously

[32:41] classes so I he has his own section in

[32:44] the corner actually reserved for class

[32:46] that the students have a place to sit

[32:48] and a desk it's a classroom setting in a

[32:52] shop yeah he will it's more than happy

[32:56] to are you around there because when I

[33:00] was running if something had ever been

[33:06] happenin

[33:07] this is what Justin I got coffee - again

[33:10] we thought the survey results would be

[33:11] higher on the understanding where we

[33:13] were and we also didn't waste people's

[33:14] time that having much Town Hall and

[33:16] meetings you know that had really been

[33:18] done back then you know 14 15 you're on

[33:20] the middle school phase - but something

[33:22] happened is that we we become a gym and

[33:25] all our foot traffic on the big events

[33:28] you know whether it's a huge concert a

[33:30] basketball game volleyball wrestling

[33:31] tournament are going there we don't host

[33:34] much annual high school thinking about

[33:36] that yeah and all the LR fine arts

[33:38] performing arts Kobe adores brands and

[33:40] that's helped us and people understand

[33:42] there's a need there for an auditorium

[33:44] but really our foot traffic in terms of

[33:47] visitor

[33:47] like that absolutely increase so that I

[33:49] think Justin I'm willing to talk with

[33:51] Jerry Gallagher has contributed to the

[33:53] loss of important people and loss of

[33:56] understanding of the knee of high school

[33:57] and when their kids aren't at that level

[33:59] they don't pay attention know it's three

[34:01] years their kids to it okay now they're

[34:04] nice well you can walk in to come a gym

[34:06] and go oh the whole five Tom campuses

[34:09] like this you know you don't realize it

[34:11] it's night and day when you cross that

[34:12] threshold right but I'm really excited

[34:19] to about and you know we're talking

[34:22] about in a career alignment and the work

[34:24] we're doing with with teaching and

[34:26] learning high school and I think this is

[34:28] gonna be product I walk to that the

[34:30] space will have to again being preceded

[34:32] do it who are we what we believe in and

[34:34] then doesn't facilities matter side

[34:36] because I can call my name but I can

[34:38] tell you a couple of facilities about

[34:39] the last 10 years that they're beautiful

[34:41] but it might as well up in 1965 again

[34:43] they've built what I call an Eisenhower

[34:45] school you know you know flat you know

[34:48] kind of wings and ponds and things like

[34:49] that and just straight classrooms right

[34:51] the bathrooms are here and Locker base

[34:52] and things like that like oh my gosh she

[34:54] knows so being innovative to figuring

[34:57] out what our kids need over the next 20

[34:59] 50 years that's part of the process but

[35:02] that's why we have kids and staff trying

[35:04] to visionary another your show some of

[35:07] those buildings in the fall of 13 yeah

[35:15] but then you see some that are red new

[35:17] and nice but they were built in 1960

[35:20] [Music]

[35:24] Washington is new you know because I

[35:26] didn't ornate a lot of things changed

[35:29] and they had an open classroom so that

[35:37] was kind of back then

[35:38] and then they wanted to put in a minute

[35:41] because it was just chaotic

[35:43] I guess the children you know happy here

[35:47] even if it's a big flat building it

[35:51] doesn't have to have and what's what's

[35:54] funny about Washington is in that Dennis

[35:57] one of the things and totally concept

[35:58] was so big and seventies I'm a history

[36:00] geek like what kind of history of it

[36:02] however you seen it each web back that

[36:05] way not all the way it like just free

[36:07] makes children like but but generations

[36:14] you know it is web back the other way

[36:17] you know it's not completed for range

[36:18] but it can't be classrooms any you know

[36:20] like with brian says flexible right

[36:22] that's the middle schools model that

[36:23] Washington really is too because even

[36:26] though there's classrooms there's a lot

[36:28] of open flexible space you know if you

[36:31] go through the early childhood centers

[36:32] there's two we called busy be rooms

[36:34] where kids can come in the middle and

[36:35] work and collaborate there's a lot of

[36:37] that space to do that and they use those

[36:39] you know really really well

[36:41] and so it's funny in Washington even

[36:43] though it you know kind of come back a

[36:44] little bit to the center it's still much

[36:46] more of an open concept you know the

[36:48] doctor just straight corridors hallways

[36:50] if people asked it's kind of odd you

[36:52] have to walk through the media center to

[36:54] get to the crash and you're like we

[36:55] thought about that's beautiful and you

[36:57] know you should have walk library take

[36:59] you to the classrooms I don't know if

[37:02] this

[37:03] to learn conversation but we had some

[37:07] friends over a couple nights culpable

[37:08] community leaders wanting to know a

[37:11] little bit more about the plans and the

[37:15] first thing he said was I couldn't get

[37:19] those test scores up we just had a

[37:23] meeting about that very thing that

[37:25] that's not the most importantly and then

[37:27] he also brought up wouldn't it be

[37:30] interesting to know where these kids are

[37:31] in five or ten years which we also

[37:33] talked about at that meeting and the

[37:37] school that where he grew up in is that

[37:38] a lot of things without reach to get

[37:41] successful people contributing in a big

[37:46] way and so that's that's a couple over

[37:51] then we're this will come to board you

[37:54] know we're looking at how can we engage

[37:57] our community to know if we're healthy

[37:59] and I didn't know thank you to a couple

[38:01] of board member set on a focus group for

[38:02] doing that we'll have fun at work but

[38:04] you know I know that's a conversation

[38:05] you know our facilities time to test

[38:08] scores if you know the types of things

[38:09] and what I would say is the on test

[38:12] scores it's time that we healthy but

[38:14] health is more than just test scores you

[38:15] know those types of things and if we do

[38:17] have some gaps tended to test scores we

[38:19] realize that we will work out of that

[38:20] too but that being said we know there's

[38:23] other majors and at the end of the day I

[38:25] wouldn't care as much about test scores

[38:27] if I know how a kids doing one five and

[38:29] ten years after high school and that's

[38:31] we're actually gonna go after that

[38:32] pretty hard to figure that out and as

[38:34] well and I know a lot of topic of this

[38:36] conversation but but that means said -

[38:38] we do know that you know that that type

[38:43] of learning is really

[38:49] well I'm sure it's really off topic in

[38:52] the fact that kind of a post together

[38:54] with what I improve those just worse we

[38:56] need to have facilities that are viable

[39:00] for the learning that kids need to have

[39:03] so then we call them out comes with one

[39:04] improve outcomes now my test scores but

[39:07] just the quality of life and maybe we

[39:09] want to make facilities that help

[39:11] nurture and grow that we may want to

[39:14] make them employable

[39:15] all right gets collaboration is what

[39:17] have that top things for high test

[39:20] scores are just one measure how

[39:22] successful we are imitation well I

[39:27] remember you know kids have chest aches

[39:29] I'd be like crazy anymore that was a

[39:31] long way adults Tolu depression did you

[39:34] know all of that right Jim I can't

[39:37] believe how many accommodation letters

[39:40] that I have to write well we know you

[39:42] think about that I don't know the single

[39:44] employer town on the resume or

[39:46] application is going to ask you for your

[39:47] standardized test scores at school right

[39:49] and that's why we come back to we're

[39:51] still new that's worth these essential

[39:52] competencies you know communication

[39:54] empathy critical thinking the learners

[39:58] mindset those types of things those are

[39:59] the things are plurally cuss words

[40:02] letting into that as well and our

[40:05] facilities you know allowing for those essential competencies you know as

[40:10] we think about that you know and where

[40:14] that goes so ya know it's all tied

[40:16] together for sure but that's why as a

[40:18] community we're figuring out what are

[40:19] the metrics that matter most our

[40:21] community on our school are healthy and

[40:23] we'll major success by that that she

[40:27] that he said we should have a one-page

[40:29] handout when people cut some of the

[40:32] things that like Jerry Mitchell talked

[40:34] about that I was totally not aware of I

[40:38] think definitely should be included they

[40:41] might not see ya yeah Jerry you want to

[40:48] talk about talk about one of the biggest

[40:49] needs you know in your of your mind

[40:51] especially just for the millions and

[40:52] nuts and bolts

[40:53] well biggest needs of course is HVAC all

[40:56] the air handlers on the north end of the

[40:58] building are all in the growth five out

[41:00] of six or operating one week to skip

[41:03] parts out of air conditioning finally

[41:06] got running in the library and stuff

[41:08] towards the end of the summer of it

[41:09] hopefully starts back up this next

[41:11] summer

[41:13] gotta your handlers in the 600 500

[41:15] circle everything is you know near an

[41:18] end alike so there's a lot of big

[41:20] decisions to me you know if we can pass

[41:23] a bond and hopefully go to a geothermal

[41:26] system or or if we stay with a pack or

[41:28] whatever we do were great if we don't go

[41:32] to that and of course we're gonna have a

[41:34] lot of HVAC electricals needs and things

[41:38] that need to be done also got a lot of

[41:42] underground conduit with electrical

[41:44] that's starting to collapse we've had

[41:47] runs just a surface mount electrical

[41:49] link some of the classrooms operable

[41:51] certain heavy 600 struggle right now

[41:55] we've had it in the gym for a while a

[41:58] lot of the outlets underneath the stage

[42:01] that's there are not impossible anymore

[42:04] and we're getting more and more

[42:07] now 34 classrooms go down and that's

[42:10] because one claps can't do it then it

[42:11] pops breakers try to trace it you can't

[42:14] pull the water back out because it can't

[42:15] do its collapse so those are the issues

[42:18] were running into I guess those are the

[42:21] biggest needs so anyway I don't mind we

[42:24] got we do have a session that we do an

[42:27] annual asbestos update all their floor

[42:30] tile and anything that's a 9x9 floor

[42:34] tile and you walk around there's always

[42:35] best system some of the the ceilings in

[42:40] the circles are asbestos so you're

[42:42] talking to health well-being and you see

[42:45] that some of the tiles starting to break

[42:47] up and we got to staff they're certified

[42:49] so we can do a certain amount of area

[42:51] that gets very big that we have to hire

[42:52] it down but things like talk about you

[42:55] know your security expert I know you

[42:57] have your certifications that's what's

[42:58] your what your take on security in terms

[43:01] of the facility be brutally honest yeah

[43:05] it's for me all right I could go in that

[43:08] building

[43:09] any place if I wanted to say I wanted to

[43:11] dress up in me and when I worked

[43:13] healthcare I got certified sent out to

[43:15] the Michigan to be certified to do

[43:17] things like that and you could get into

[43:20] that building many many ways and just go

[43:23] on a rampage if you wanted to windows

[43:26] being open because of the heat spring

[43:28] fall doors there proper doors open it

[43:33] stylish operators because you know the

[43:36] environment our main entrance yeah we

[43:40] got the vestibule where you come in out

[43:41] of the weather to do it but you see the

[43:44] distance from the front entrance to

[43:46] where the front receptionist sit once

[43:49] you bust them in there's no guarantee

[43:51] they're going to come to the that window

[43:53] they could just go right in the building

[43:54] and that's the same way in all three of

[43:56] the buildings we're talking about high

[43:58] school Lincoln and Washington middle

[44:01] school has a pic as a good sign except

[44:03] you can come into that vestibule you

[44:05] buzz them into the office then you can

[44:07] talk in the office before you go out

[44:08] into the learning areas so yes security fix is not good there could be

[44:16] many things and you know Jerry hit out a

[44:18] little bit too there's there's certain

[44:21] classrooms in the in the circles and the

[44:23] reason why you could have so many feet

[44:25] between emergency exits the only way you

[44:28] can do that in a circle you got to have

[44:30] an emergency exit through a classroom so

[44:33] one of them that's a big one is where

[44:37] the I guess what's the proper word for

[44:41] where we cook and everything else

[44:43] family consumer so there we go family

[44:45] consumer science I already I go back

[44:47] component that was in school so that

[44:49] sort of eat just been right there a

[44:51] family consumer science there's an

[44:53] emergency exit in that room

[44:57] thing they cook they have food in there

[44:59] and all that that door to hallway has to

[45:01] stay online 24/7 because you have to

[45:04] have an emergency exit through that room

[45:06] to go outside if there was a fire at the

[45:08] interests that are that circle you have

[45:11] to be able to get out those other exits

[45:13] so that's what those exits are for we

[45:15] have to have some feet between exits

[45:17] same thing as fire extinguisher and

[45:19] stuff like that and I also hear about

[45:21] security and safety and the circles you

[45:23] know didn't think much of it when I went

[45:26] to school there

[45:27] but now when you're walking around it

[45:28] you can see what 10 feet in front of you know you're not sure what's

[45:32] happening yeah there's there's many

[45:42] things it's definitely a building that's

[45:44] and served its purpose but it's also

[45:47] time that we need to do some things or

[45:50] do some of these to it we know how many

[45:53] times would you say yours best friends

[45:55] you know trying to track down pop

[45:58] breakers scavenge parts from other air

[46:01] handlers to fix one to make it work on the air-conditioning to get it

[46:05] going you know do routine maintenance

[46:08] that everything's renewer you could

[46:10] focus on other things let's put this way

[46:12] a brandy cakes we hired year and a half

[46:14] ago he said our HVAC specialist way and

[46:17] if we didn't have him I could say we'd

[46:20] probably be in more trouble it was a

[46:21] great hire the guy's a brain at this um

[46:24] he spends probably 90% of his time

[46:27] between the high school and sometimes up

[46:31] Washington more more just to try to keep

[46:33] those operating very little time in the

[46:36] middle school we shouldn't spend a lot

[46:38] of time we need to go or just ignore but

[46:40] still it's pushing that four to five

[46:42] year mark where you're going to have

[46:44] things but they're the things that

[46:46] happen there everything tells you right

[46:48] away what's wrong with it you don't have

[46:50] to go search for it breakers are on work

[46:52] in the high school we've had an ADD

[46:55] breakers and had electrical outlets and

[46:58] switches for lights you've got so many

[47:01] added devices that also million that

[47:05] sort of track and it just even find it

[47:07] so over the years that of course happens

[47:09] we just had to do I forgot about this -

[47:12] we just had this play a little over

[47:13] 10,000 down in the shop there because of

[47:16] an old breaker panel going down so we

[47:19] had to redo an ad for a new breaker

[47:21] panel

[47:22] typing overhead because there's no fix

[47:25] yet so you know those are the things are

[47:27] starting to happen 10,000 here doesn't

[47:29] sound like maybe that's not a lot you do

[47:31] 10,000 in that project a month later he

[47:34] might do it 10,000 and another project

[47:36] over the years that adds up so brandon

[47:40] spends a lot of time in fact he texted

[47:43] me about three times already just in

[47:44] this because we're having a couple of

[47:46] issues that he's working on right now

[47:47] he's constantly just working on issues

[47:51] instead of doing the PM's that we should

[47:53] do what you prevented maintenance and

[47:54] we're being on preventative maintenance

[47:56] program better but you know when you're

[47:58] spending your whole time preparing

[48:00] instead of doing that they're not being

[48:02] proactive or being reactive I don't want

[48:04] to let it be proactive how about is

[48:07] there a pretty frequent occurrence for

[48:09] you to tell you know teachers day well

[48:13] I'm sorry but this outlet or this way or

[48:15] this area isn't available for you

[48:17] because we can't we're working on

[48:19] tracking it down you know

[48:20] you maybe take a week or four days to

[48:22] figure out what issues before you can

[48:24] bring it back for them to us yeah that's

[48:26] got to be quite often other things that

[48:28] happen and this one was in the 600

[48:31] circle about a year ago with a

[48:33] condensate line come apart in a crawl

[48:37] space says probably about twice as wide

[48:39] as this table and it's about three foot

[48:42] tall Britain's laying on his back on a

[48:45] creeper that you know usually used for

[48:47] many vehicles and stuff and pushing this

[48:50] way probably about 300 feet to get back

[48:52] in there so we're hanging down on the

[48:54] tools and parts doing an event that's

[48:57] about six inches wide by about two foot

[48:59] longer so he's laying on the back down

[49:01] in there so also what is that is a

[49:03] confined space so you've got a lot of

[49:05] other things to do so to fix that

[49:07] project we have that area down for about

[49:09] a week week and a half and that's right

[49:12] in the middle of a classroom setting so

[49:14] those things are starting to happen more

[49:16] and more and help me discover that all

[49:17] some steam just starts rolling into that classroom and goes out into the

[49:23] circle so that's how you discovered

[49:25] because you have no other way to know

[49:27] that that's gonna happen so and that's

[49:29] something that you don't play on a

[49:31] creeper and go all the way around the

[49:32] insides of those circles on a regular

[49:34] basis just even see what the equipment

[49:35] looks like when you talk about getting

[49:37] parts the new scheme lines in a circle

[49:39] you need something like a 17 degree

[49:42] angle it will steam under what you have

[49:45] 90 degree or 35 degree angles and all

[49:47] sudden we're having to have custom parts

[49:49] made and this isn't challenging and

[49:51] that's that's what made that project

[49:52] take so long we actually thought we had

[49:54] fix one time we order some parts online

[49:57] through Grainger even bind them and it

[50:00] has to have a flexible fitting well you

[50:03] kind of circle in about every five feet

[50:06] is trying to turn and all that of course

[50:08] when you make it or handle it all along

[50:10] as you're putting it in on a circle with

[50:13] if you're trying to fix it

[50:14] it'll make those bends for you that need

[50:16] to be the exact degrees that we mean so

[50:19] fixed it once it wasn't ten minutes and

[50:22] it's back apart the rumors filling back

[50:23] up again we start all over so yeah

[50:26] that's the same thing with them okay

[50:28] thanks for that no not for a low

[50:33] pressure steam line they would notice

[50:36] this in Iowa but I've heard stories you

[50:38] know Brian is your top story to hear

[50:39] from some people in the back I'm circle

[50:41] to the bellman it was kind of new cool

[50:43] thing people came and visited and saw

[50:45] that and in every school like all this

[50:47] so neat which'll notices nobody else

[50:50] built them I can't find another set of

[50:52] circles in Iowa that never built and I

[50:55] think that just shows the limitations

[50:56] that they have you know that's that's

[50:58] the struggle we would have you wud right

[51:00] circle order yet to start fresh with the

[51:04] circles you know and I think that's part

[51:06] of the challenge but is he's kind of

[51:07] sharing you know the safety security

[51:08] issues on top of that but then just that

[51:11] constant maintain your life you have you

[51:13] talked to architects and we talked to

[51:15] Estes just big very because when you

[51:17] have to cut classrooms into pies the

[51:20] ineffective use of square footage you

[51:22] know if you if you look at if you were

[51:25] to look at our square footage per

[51:26] student versus some other school in this

[51:28] rings it's pretty high for the high

[51:29] school but I don't think you asked a lot

[51:32] of our staff they would say it's all

[51:33] about we feel like it's only two tons of

[51:35] space you know to talk about the cloud

[51:37] space it's because the space is being

[51:38] utilized in February it's won a

[51:40] challenge

[51:44] I wonder Jerry's time I know he's super

[51:46] busy you guys have anything also asked

[51:47] you know just a couple quick things you

[51:49] were just a little over six years so if

[51:55] I take the other side of the coin that I

[51:58] know will pop up why are we in such a

[52:07] tough shape now why isn't the district

[52:09] spend any money over the last 50 years

[52:11] to maintain that darn build-up Jerry we

[52:15] have because you know money absolutely

[52:17] and we have been um you know you can't

[52:21] get parts on equipment forever

[52:23] eventually eventually those two parts

[52:26] are obsolete you either have to retrofit

[52:28] which we started doing in things like

[52:31] that so the the sixth air handler that I

[52:35] was talking about on the roof of of the

[52:37] north end of the high school that one we

[52:41] tap off of the other five to fill in

[52:44] some areas so of course then instead of

[52:46] buying or trying to retrofit parts and

[52:48] when you retrofit it's not exactly the

[52:51] same of course as everyone knows you're

[52:52] trying to retrofit anything so then you

[52:54] take parts off the one you can take down

[52:56] and do it so in them it has been

[52:57] maintained

[52:58] I think there's been sort of processing

[53:01] put in place to keep maintaining before

[53:03] and after I've been here as you know

[53:07] it's not going to last forever you're

[53:09] not gonna be able to get the parts to

[53:10] make them last forever so in part of

[53:14] night

[53:15] some of those types of questions the

[53:18] district isn't unlike anybody or

[53:21] anything else we have X amount of funny

[53:25] weather no matter what Thunder comes

[53:28] from have all of Local Option Sales Tax

[53:31] etc etc we've spent almost all of our

[53:37] money that we've received over the last

[53:39] 20-30 years with those funds on repairs

[53:44] maintenance improvements additions to

[53:47] Lincoln geothermal to Washington the new

[53:51] dental school transportation center etc

[53:54] but again had been talking about for 30

[53:57] plus years where you work down to at

[53:59] before we put the dual enough but

[54:03] buildings are only only last X amount of

[54:09] time you let your row replace it needs

[54:11] to be replaced every so often

[54:14] een needs to be replaced that

[54:19] air-conditioning on top of the new

[54:22] addition 270 addition make the north

[54:24] the high school needs to be replaced and

[54:27] that we've spent the district over the

[54:30] years has spent everything on the loser

[54:34] there hasn't been enough money to

[54:36] completely can't buy new at the the high

[54:40] school even the newer to replace the air

[54:43] conditioning units of the north end of

[54:45] the - great yeah

[54:48] a perfect example of him Mike and Terry

[54:52] and I met yesterday we're going out five

[54:54] years so you've got to pick and choose

[54:56] it because you're exactly right you

[54:58] don't have unlimited funds that you can

[55:00] just do everything all at once you've

[55:02] got a pick each year and pick your

[55:04] product if you're anybody to do an

[55:07] example of when put them on top

[55:08] mother-in-law's had a furnace in her

[55:10] house for probably 20 years

[55:13] she just had put Brandon furnace and air

[55:15] conditioner because it's there so you

[55:18] can't fix them anymore you know and

[55:20] that's the point we do we've done what

[55:22] we can on the equipment that we have in

[55:24] the high school by maintaining it

[55:26] upgrading and things like that the

[55:30] middle school we can see everything of

[55:32] the operations the middle school and

[55:34] like I said earlier when something goes

[55:36] down at the middle school we know

[55:38] exactly where it's at what it is and all

[55:40] that because of all the technology that

[55:43] we have that we can track everything at

[55:45] the high school and something goes down

[55:46] there's not that technology there's

[55:48] those upgrades to that point then you

[55:51] have to go troubleshooting and and spend

[55:53] a lot of time to find it so yeah so

[55:56] there's there's a lot of a difference

[55:57] that's going to be cleared even

[55:58] internally our discussion has never been

[56:00] around building a new high school it's

[56:02] to renovate the car line right you know

[56:04] and so because there's not a lot of

[56:06] great things that happened the CP space

[56:07] you've got a lot of great things have

[56:09] happened you know for a lot walling for

[56:11] example you know the 2012 board and

[56:14] administration have the new science

[56:16] wings and then into being a part of plan

[56:18] would be to lay those let me touch their

[56:20] great shape they're the Cadillac science

[56:22] terms are beautiful the dilemma that

[56:25] this board will face the communal faces

[56:27] do you have eight circles you have the

[56:29] nicest circles in Iowa you know and I'd

[56:33] be curious with the communities just you

[56:34] know as I go around and you might want

[56:37] to what conversations which do you guys

[56:38] know like over 150 of those now I'm not

[56:40] heard anybody too sentimental about

[56:42] circles you know because they realized

[56:44] that just they come the end of life and

[56:46] so because of that that's what makes

[56:48] this renovation a possible renovation a

[56:49] little more tricky is that would be city

[56:51] construction - to replace that and hey

[56:53] somebody had a board you know here's

[56:55] going to sign out circles if they were

[56:56] squares you'd be able easier to renovate

[56:58] those types of things but I think you

[57:01] know what I really credit you know

[57:02] Jerry's you know office and his

[57:03] apartment because they do a masterful

[57:05] job there their idea preventive

[57:06] maintenance things on the middle school

[57:07] you know four or five years there's

[57:09] already things that we're doing but keep

[57:10] it good shape and keep it there and you

[57:13] know but there's a place where things

[57:15] just you know we can like you said you

[57:17] like yeah and then my point too is the

[57:21] end of life has come on a lot of stuff

[57:23] up at the high school even if we don't

[57:27] take the circles into account but that's

[57:29] going to take more money to replace and

[57:35] upgrade

[57:37] than what we the district has access to

[57:40] at the current point which is why we

[57:43] talk about upon the Amish you how old

[57:46] are the healing systems for them so

[57:50] they're from the early nineteen sixties

[57:51] correct so you know when we had our

[57:53] assessment they put together a

[57:56] construction cost to replace those for

[57:59] the domestic pipe in which I assume this

[58:01] part that steam it kind of talked about

[58:02] like Franklin was underneath the circles

[58:05] and then new HVAC system which has about

[58:08] a a ten point three million dollar costs

[58:11] associated with it what's your annual

[58:13] maintenance operating budget

[58:26] and Jerry spends all that no no what is it he gets about yes yes his

[58:41] annual budget is like so he'd have to

[58:48] save every dollar he was allocated for

[58:50] more than ten years to be able to find

[58:53] it to replace just those two items which

[58:55] means no roofs or anything everywhere

[58:57] God's good stuff not no painting and or

[59:01] an electrical nothing else we're done

[59:03] for ten years correct which is that

[59:05] pretty significant amount or we could

[59:08] borrow the money and nothing gets done

[59:09] for 30

[59:10] we're paying interest or for teachers so

[59:14] I mean these are these are big expenses

[59:15] that the district just doesn't have

[59:17] operating capital to the rare

[59:19] the only other you do is yeah and that's

[59:22] one point yeah that that's why we're at

[59:24] the point of potentially asking the

[59:29] public well I ain't even flipped it to

[59:32] you of that it's not that we don't take

[59:33] care of stuff is that we you know we

[59:36] really do I mean for example we're

[59:38] putting in new football filled legs as

[59:40] far as I can tell those are original to

[59:42] tie the football field so going back to

[59:43] I don't know I checked with Jeff says he

[59:45] could probably tell us exactly but I'm

[59:47] gonna assume probably at least the late

[59:48] sixties early seventies there's nobody

[59:50] able with polls and eight light

[59:51] standards anymore and we have made those

[59:53] work for all these years

[59:55] don't need Kevin that's why I'm assuming

[59:58] we've kept those in good repair we've

[1:00:00] done that you know it's just now that

[1:00:02] we're looking at going oh we should

[1:00:04] replace us because we have some issues

[1:00:05] with the pole being unsafe and then

[1:00:07] quite honestly were throwing lamps all

[1:00:08] the time so they've gotta go up on the

[1:00:10] cabinet or casanova scissor lift to

[1:00:13] replace them and then just you look at

[1:00:15] your arm line cost/benefit right this is

[1:00:17] not worth our time and effort to do that

[1:00:18] but i would tell you a lot of districts

[1:00:21] would replace those lights probably 20

[1:00:22] years ago so I would credit our

[1:00:25] community over a rise we were it's a

[1:00:29] it's been approval you know over the

[1:00:31] years the the boards here have been

[1:00:33] through ville and have gotten the

[1:00:34] money's worth I would credit you know

[1:00:36] another place where we've been frugal is

[1:00:38] we agent buses a lot

[1:00:42] we'd your buses a lot longer than a lot

[1:00:44] of districts because we invested the

[1:00:45] money in hiring and outs and kanuk and

[1:00:47] Carl our Kurt Kurt does I'm just this

[1:00:51] kids giving me her does an amazing job

[1:00:53] because we have some buses that we keep

[1:00:56] in good repair and we passed a state

[1:00:58] trooper inspection with the de here with

[1:00:59] flying colors with Boston Center

[1:01:01] sometimes pushing 20 years old we get

[1:01:03] our money's worth because we invested in

[1:01:05] preventive maintenance

[1:01:06] the right things I take a lot of pride

[1:01:08] in our staff really underlings are clear

[1:01:10] men doing the right thing so Jerry

[1:01:16] what's so life expectancy you that mean

[1:01:19] what's most appropriate of the new

[1:01:23] middle school what's its life expectancy

[1:01:25] for a tracking system just in general we

[1:01:29] get stuck to major pairs

[1:01:31] you know I the building in general I

[1:01:36] guess I'm not sure how you come up with

[1:01:38] really what if you preventive

[1:01:41] maintenance do all your peons and try

[1:01:42] keep everything up and running there's

[1:01:44] no reason we shouldn't have dirty that

[1:01:45] are plushy or some on everything that's

[1:01:48] the main workings of that facility you

[1:01:51] know you're gonna definitely have a lot

[1:01:53] of general upkeep for it and when you

[1:01:56] have a lot of windows and things like

[1:01:58] that

[1:01:58] there's probably increased upkeep just

[1:02:01] because of seven there's no reason that

[1:02:07] facility can get away without having

[1:02:10] some major things done to it for 30

[1:02:12] years

[1:02:17] I know this might not be like a security

[1:02:19] issue but like I know it's something

[1:02:21] that like there's just something so

[1:02:23] simple I just like the intercoms not

[1:02:24] working but like we can't even like the

[1:02:27] office can't convey a message did like

[1:02:29] the teachers and then hope like hope

[1:02:32] does not but like if we made your

[1:02:33] message was needed to be like announced

[1:02:36] it week it's muffled like I don't know

[1:02:39] if it's like the speakers or wider or

[1:02:41] that's the you know still on was like

[1:02:43] that we run into so for example what

[1:02:46] things I hate one of my pet peeves is

[1:02:48] steel bells I think it just tastes like

[1:02:50] the Ferris Bueller's Day Off you know

[1:02:51] there's no reasonably the 2000 that we

[1:02:53] can you know have a like Tron of bells

[1:02:55] which we do it all of our campuses

[1:02:57] except for high school and our high

[1:02:59] school is so old that it still has

[1:03:00] clocks at literally bugs right and

[1:03:03] that's the Bell which is this wow that's really there's still Bell Barrett

[1:03:06] we're in the middle school boys high

[1:03:08] school and we can't take that out

[1:03:10] because it's only belts down there now

[1:03:13] the problem is an engineer you can talk

[1:03:15] more about that stress to put into the

[1:03:16] whole system and we have struggling in

[1:03:18] asbestos and you want to start going to

[1:03:20] ceiling its and doing some of the things

[1:03:21] and then you know some of those repairs

[1:03:23] that they see it like a simple thing is

[1:03:25] way more complex I getting out it's to

[1:03:27] the attorney but you want to speak to

[1:03:29] that just like the high cost of some of

[1:03:30] those things that are just we don't

[1:03:32] realize right because you know speaker

[1:03:35] so we're doing a bail system in one in

[1:03:37] Washington Lincoln that's all through

[1:03:39] computer controlled and everything so

[1:03:41] it's more like what Mike's talking about

[1:03:43] modernizing it to do that at the high

[1:03:45] school at the Washington Lincoln let's

[1:03:47] back up with Washington Lincoln it's

[1:03:49] pretty easy to do because of

[1:03:51] the way their high school the speakers

[1:03:55] are all wearing out so to do that

[1:03:56] project there then you are gonna pull a

[1:03:59] new wire everywhere in your home what

[1:04:00] didn't I like so it's not just uh ten to fifteen thousand dollar project

[1:04:06] it's probably push more like a fifty

[1:04:08] sixty thousand pilot project to do all

[1:04:10] those workings inner workings of it so

[1:04:12] things like that multiply when you have

[1:04:15] quite a bit of asbestos in the ceiling

[1:04:18] and the circles have all of that if you

[1:04:20] want in this in this circles look at the

[1:04:23] ceilings it's all that really looks like

[1:04:24] spackling the stuff that's a spring on

[1:04:27] this bestest back from the sixteen so if

[1:04:29] you want to put it like new lighting you know they be lightly because because

[1:04:38] of that anytime even even Seward

[1:05:08] remember blinds column with all the

[1:05:10] pathogen bath the north bathrooms which

[1:05:13] are we call the north bathrooms that are

[1:05:15] just to the north of the five hundred

[1:05:17] circle we had those two bathrooms shut

[1:05:19] down last last week for probably almost

[1:05:22] the entire week we had backup and stuff

[1:05:26] coming in those bathrooms and worked and worked on trying to get them

[1:05:30] out and finally called in

[1:05:33] exterior contractor he came in and

[1:05:35] worked and worked worked and we find out

[1:05:37] that was working and not for any student

[1:05:39] misbehavior like when something got

[1:05:40] flushed out just normal wear and tear

[1:05:42] and usage and just it just catches up

[1:05:44] you know just think they clog after a

[1:05:46] while in the thing did you say well that

[1:05:49] happens anywhere the reason that is

[1:05:52] lying turn is because what they what

[1:05:55] they do now so and there were the old

[1:05:57] cast lines and everything else they're

[1:05:59] not PVC and larger and everything else

[1:06:01] for a larger facility so thank you for

[1:06:04] built different 60s than they are now

[1:06:07] and they can crack in a row we do have

[1:06:10] that literally yeah there's always a

[1:06:13] concern we've already added a tank out

[1:06:16] in that in the lawn from we did that

[1:06:19] about a half ago because of the way the

[1:06:22] clay traps were designed in the art art

[1:06:24] area we kind of constantly had clay

[1:06:27] clogging up the drains so we'd have two

[1:06:29] issues on the far north in finally ended

[1:06:31] up with a fifteen thousand dollar

[1:06:33] project about two years ago put a put a

[1:06:36] receptor trap out in the lawn was a big

[1:06:39] tank that we can pump out on a regular

[1:06:41] basis things like that even that wasn't

[1:06:43] made for what we use for art now we're

[1:06:47] ahead to retrofit it it's better not

[1:06:49] perfect but it's better

[1:06:58] kind of questions for Gerry

[1:07:06] for anybody else

[1:07:10] it was you're here in the community

[1:07:18] experiencing I'm hearing right now yes

[1:07:21] the between they would like to see

[1:07:30] facility planning a play about what what

[1:07:34] should happen with ice boner I think

[1:07:37] we're to the point now we we need to

[1:07:42] buckle down as or in the senior

[1:07:44] leadership and start to tell the story

[1:07:46] everything that Jerry has said of the

[1:07:50] safety concerns and saying this this is an authority we

[1:07:58] from the conversations today I think

[1:08:01] it's clear that we we have needs that we

[1:08:06] can't fix with the funding that we have

[1:08:11] and it's not because of we have we have

[1:08:18] diligently it is not the school that my

[1:08:25] parents grew up

[1:08:27] and so

[1:08:29] they think that's an that's an important

[1:08:31] message to to also convey

[1:08:35] the jobs that we're asking our students

[1:08:38] to do today are not the students

[1:08:42] are not the jobs that we ask students to

[1:08:44] do 50 years ago and so those messages

[1:08:49] need to come out I think it's time to

[1:08:52] say we're gonna start telling that story

[1:08:57] and see there's community support or to

[1:09:02] raise a community awareness which

[1:09:06] so is it appropriate at this time to

[1:09:10] like Justin would you be the one that

[1:09:14] worked on this one-page back sheet well

[1:09:16] honestly it will put multiple people so

[1:09:22] is it can we say Justin go ahead and do

[1:09:27] that well okay I'm just as fossil yeah

[1:09:32] well we can do whether the direction

[1:09:35] could be is if you please the board in

[1:09:38] the January meeting we can do actually

[1:09:40] today into action on in here

[1:09:41] but it please Lord I put a

[1:09:43] recommendation out that we initiate a

[1:09:46] communication plan on to the community

[1:09:49] and also and I'm we've been working on

[1:09:52] skeleton of one that I get out to you

[1:09:54] guys for review and for the community

[1:09:55] that we'd say you know you're going to

[1:09:57] town hall meetings let's let's open a

[1:09:59] community-wide dialogue a discussion

[1:10:00] where we feed the needs are getting

[1:10:02] tours lined up getting information

[1:10:04] campaign when people are in doubt

[1:10:07] they're going you know they other

[1:10:09] questions answer and get that feedback

[1:10:12] and answer questions that come up and

[1:10:14] engage your parents and do those types

[1:10:16] of things and we can do it really a nice

[1:10:18] aggressive I the wrong work but you know

[1:10:21] mortgage trip campaign again I'll

[1:10:23] reiterate we want to keep the focus on

[1:10:24] teaching learning focus on teaching

[1:10:26] learning but this is in the background

[1:10:27] going on at the same time and my

[1:10:29] recommendation would be sometime in may

[1:10:30] run the survey again see where we're at

[1:10:32] that can inform our next steps of where

[1:10:34] we're going what we need to do there

[1:10:36] there's no doubt we need to do something

[1:10:38] but we also know that we're all in this

[1:10:41] together the communities kind of

[1:10:42] supportive of what we need to do and it

[1:10:43] is a big investment but I also and I

[1:10:47] think this is a big piece for us too

[1:10:50] if we decide to go in this direction and

[1:10:52] wait and figure out the next steps I

[1:10:54] think that's really nice

[1:10:56] no one has listened to the community of

[1:10:59] the survey and be responsive to that you

[1:11:02] know the survey comes out we just

[1:11:03] decided to do something else you know I

[1:11:05] think there's there's a key talking

[1:11:07] point like hey community we hurt it

[1:11:08] you're not informed you're not ready we

[1:11:10] need to do a better job of that and get

[1:11:11] that information out and you know there

[1:11:14] are some some tax questions in the

[1:11:16] community and we're gonna take some more

[1:11:19] time and and answer those questions and

[1:11:21] listen to you and I think that's a huge

[1:11:23] David horse I'd like to suggest maybe we

[1:11:28] have a couple of more board meetings in

[1:11:32] the high school in the next six months

[1:11:35] or so maybe even short tours if we need

[1:11:42] additional depending upon the length of

[1:11:46] time that meanings end up going if we

[1:11:50] think that our board meetings are

[1:11:52] getting too long in the next six months

[1:11:56] with everything else we're doing maybe

[1:12:00] have the third Monday of the month as a

[1:12:02] workshop at 6:30 6:15 and just have it

[1:12:07] devoted to high school on communication

[1:12:13] whatever so that we can focus on this

[1:12:18] one topic we did that a lot in 2014

[1:12:22] we're dealing with the school project

[1:12:25] going forward I think for four months

[1:12:29] we've had every Monday night for four

[1:12:32] months the the regular meetings were

[1:12:36] regular business on the second fourth

[1:12:39] Monday and the first and the third were

[1:12:41] only on moving the middle school project

[1:12:45] forward so that you can stay focused on

[1:12:48] that one topic for a meeting so I'd just

[1:12:51] bring that up as a reminder we did that

[1:12:53] before maybe we need to look at that in

[1:12:56] the future again and I'm not I don't

[1:12:58] think we're to the point where we need

[1:13:00] every need to meet every Monday night

[1:13:01] but if we want to spend an hour on this

[1:13:04] topic once a month maybe it could mean

[1:13:08] the third Monday and we just lined up

[1:13:11] the high school people and do short

[1:13:14] tours or something it's just a

[1:13:17] suggestion another way to look at us

[1:13:21] handling and dealing with it given the

[1:13:24] public awareness out do we have to meet

[1:13:29] could it be a Saturday morning could be

[1:13:31] 70 parties yeah another time preferably

[1:13:46] not very many more things just because

[1:13:55] take away another night from you know

[1:13:58] being a family whatever i i i person's

[1:14:03] that's just well I might to not

[1:14:26] automatically this but a work session

[1:14:28] you know it's on your core you can

[1:14:30] proceed self-confidence come up you can

[1:14:32] still do that discussion especially a

[1:14:34] discussion is maybe those those were

[1:14:36] sessions because the tape on tours in

[1:14:37] high school to engage the community I'll

[1:14:40] tell you one thing we'll need to is help

[1:14:42] from the board as well engaging you know

[1:14:43] we we think between now and probably

[1:14:46] maybe we need to do probably 20

[1:14:47] different community meetings and I'm not

[1:14:49] saying like being informal town all time

[1:14:51] say the idea get the Dave's in the

[1:14:53] conical you know having people and and

[1:14:55] while that's powerful for me to do that

[1:14:57] I'll do a lot of those it's a powerful

[1:14:58] for board members for students and I'll

[1:15:00] tell you as I go I'm gonna take students

[1:15:01] with me we don't do because our focus on

[1:15:03] student leadership we don't want any

[1:15:04] we're about students because they it's

[1:15:06] their school we serve them they're our

[1:15:08] primary customer but what we'll need

[1:15:10] help with back to and we're telling the

[1:15:12] staff to you know make this the dialogue

[1:15:14] is you're sitting around the dinner

[1:15:16] table you talk about you know or you're

[1:15:17] talking with people your questions

[1:15:19] answer those questions and you know get

[1:15:21] needs to be just a we call see wat see

[1:15:23] MOT consistent message over time this

[1:15:26] needs to be a dialogue in the community

[1:15:28] so we can get more feedback where people

[1:15:29] thinking are they sensing or they see it

[1:15:31] when they carry to be more responsive to

[1:15:33] it those surveys one step you know and

[1:15:36] now or the next level of getting more

[1:15:37] deeply feedback to actually invite some

[1:15:44] of our local clubs and organizations to

[1:15:48] a meet send the president a letter and

[1:15:52] say

[1:15:55] whatever chapter we really like you to

[1:15:58] come to this meeting

[1:15:59] well we thought about - inviting some of

[1:16:02] those lunch groups to have lunch up at

[1:16:04] the high school you know we'll take out

[1:16:06] to work it will be just a good comment

[1:16:10] on that fan mail or something like that

[1:16:11] and you know invite rotary of my why is

[1:16:14] that become beating at our high school

[1:16:16] you know those types of things are

[1:16:18] powerful messages again we're not trying

[1:16:21] to sell people on something at this

[1:16:22] point we're really just trying to make

[1:16:23] them informed and combined with the

[1:16:27] chance to do this because because

[1:16:31] ultimately it's not this bond that makes

[1:16:35] the decision on it if we move forward

[1:16:36] our high schools the community and right

[1:16:38] all we're doing we asked the question

[1:16:41] but part of our job to ask that question

[1:16:43] is also make sure that people have the

[1:16:44] right information answer your questions

[1:16:46] and just being open invitation about

[1:16:47] them

[1:16:47] what I think I responsibilities to

[1:16:49] communicate what the gates out or how

[1:16:50] people understand how we're gonna go

[1:16:52] about that what we're going to do

[1:16:55] support us given that clarity how can I

[1:16:58] put every what our plan is you know the

[1:16:59] leadership I'm going to have this is

[1:17:01] what going forward would you support it

[1:17:06] and I think we talked about in our

[1:17:08] communications committee meeting having

[1:17:10] our board meetings

[1:17:18] super stack drop it throughout what

[1:17:21] people see going forward and a guy had

[1:17:25] made the comment they you know

[1:17:27] unfortunately a lot of public to come

[1:17:29] but maybe you're going to once this

[1:17:32] people will start from high school or

[1:17:47] even even our work sessions I don't know

[1:17:49] if there's if you had met someone in the

[1:17:51] morning would be proud I don't know

[1:17:52] where we couldn't have yeah someone make

[1:18:01] sure you get a lot of the people

[1:18:04] involved not just

[1:18:06] right maybe that's not a problem but it

[1:18:09] sometimes it is to me to engage oh

[1:18:14] thanks have question I didn't get an

[1:18:18] answer

[1:18:20] I think that's a great idea I think we

[1:18:22] should start out I want to make that

[1:18:27] happen

[1:18:29] we'll do in the library I think Jerry

[1:18:32] said feedback works there what I'm

[1:18:39] hearing is you guys would love to see

[1:18:41] plans moving forward from the

[1:18:43] administration leadership on

[1:18:45] communication and engagement and those

[1:18:47] different things and so you combine

[1:18:52] words including tours and then it's a

[1:18:55] lot would happen is I'll put a plan

[1:18:56] together they haven't reviewed with a

[1:18:59] committee at some point as well tall

[1:19:00] view and then in a first January meeting

[1:19:02] my recommendation would be to the board

[1:19:05] to direct means to initiate in

[1:19:06] communication with mr. Fisher just so

[1:19:09] making sure that that point is a whole

[1:19:11] plan to talk about how we're gonna do

[1:19:14] the days of 104 and what we're going to

[1:19:17] do

[1:19:18] if you're successful in moving this

[1:19:19] project forward our continued our

[1:19:22] teaching and learning facilities put

[1:19:25] people all of those things I mean a big

[1:19:28] part of the plan that's just

[1:19:29] specifically renovations yeah yeah the

[1:19:31] security we want you know make sure it's

[1:19:37] comprehensive and I'm confident you can

[1:19:38] do that absolutely well and right right

[1:19:42] no surprises well I'll tell you is that

[1:19:43] not playing a lot of lot of input from

[1:19:45] you folks I see a long footwear me to

[1:19:47] give me important feedback we'll get

[1:19:49] through community and good leadership as

[1:19:51] well and it'll be able to be breathing

[1:19:52] thing you know as we go into town hall

[1:19:54] meeting we get input and feedback you

[1:19:56] know they may just some of the things I

[1:19:57] would use time so no I haven't rarely

[1:19:59] the smartest guy who knows all Leon you

[1:20:01] guys to sometimes be looking for a draft

[1:20:14] of that you know or email my update and

[1:20:17] give me some feedback and input and

[1:20:19] we'll get some feedback from our

[1:20:20] leadership from our staff from our

[1:20:22] students on that communication plan and

[1:20:24] community as well I have one of my white

[1:20:30] work that I can't

[1:21:30] next couple days you'll see if you got

[1:21:35] it on the plate you're seeing sensing so

[1:21:37] that by the time we get before being at

[1:21:39] a credible plan to get community

[1:21:41] everything so living breathable absolute

[1:21:47] government well the end target hopefully

[1:21:50] is the same but how we get there always

[1:21:54] very well adjustments on yeah yeah

[1:21:57] [Music]

[1:22:03] oh yeah I just know see some press

[1:23:15] coming out in Mason City is asking to

[1:23:17] join the NAIC so I have super-predator

[1:23:19] meeting today right now my position on

[1:23:21] that I mean ask them thank you guys

[1:23:23] there's a consideration really talented

[1:23:26] Bryan as a senior leadership want

[1:23:28] puddling for the recommendation they

[1:23:29] have this is so new

[1:23:31] no basis either it's something on the

[1:23:34] back for several years so also you'll be

[1:23:37] seeing we had a nice conversation with

[1:23:39] press about our high scores in the state

[1:23:41] test I'm getting sourced to you where

[1:23:43] we're struggling with it's a new test

[1:23:45] this year and they had a dashboard where

[1:23:47] we pulled it down a bit of a mess

[1:23:49] and so we're having a hand calculate a

[1:23:51] lot of the scores on a spreadsheet we're

[1:23:53] actually engaging with a new company

[1:23:55] called performance matters and it's our

[1:23:56] own in-house data warehouse we're using

[1:23:58] but it's taking them tied because they

[1:24:00] had to do the scores from the state that
