I'd like to call this meeting to order

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,059

4
00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:17,100
pledge and remain standing for a moment

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:34,610
of silence

bus stops crossing streets and entering

and exiting buses

26
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,380
on Monday I shared a letter with our

27
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:42,180
school Community regarding steps that

28
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:44,040
we've taken to enhance school safety

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,020
measures already in place

30
00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:48,060
we are fortunate to have such strong

31
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:50,399
Partnerships with local law enforcement

32
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:52,140
agencies who've spent a great deal of

33
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:54,060
time this summer collaborating with us

34
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:56,460
as we keep student and staff safety a

35
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:57,420
priority

36
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:59,700
our Focus has been on steps that we can

37
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,520
take to lessen the chances of a violent

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,040
incident occurring on our campuses as

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,500
well as less in the impact should an

40
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,080
incident take place we remain committed

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,480
to safeguarding the students we serve

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,819
although some measures may seem

43
00:02:14,819 --> 00:02:16,620
inconvenient at times such as the

44
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:19,080
requirement to show identification at

45
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,900
buzzer entries to gain entry or clear

46
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,540
bag policies the safety of our students

47
00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:26,520
and staff must remain our priority and

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,800
we are optimistic that our visitors will

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,260
understand and recognize our need to be

50
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:33,480
as Vigilant as possible

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,120
we recently received State testing data

52
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,879
and are pleased with the results while

53
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,800
there is still work to do I'm extremely

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,599
proud of the efforts of our entire

55
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:44,000
School Community

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,860
we are fortunate that our teachers our

57
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:48,540
school leaders District staff have put

58
00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:49,739
in the work

59
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:51,900
coming out of the pandemic that our

60
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:55,560
students are in many cases at better

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
standing than they were prior to to the

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,819
covid pandemic

63
00:02:59,819 --> 00:03:03,180
um I want to recognize Dr Robert Lee Mr

64
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:05,700
tushette and Miss hippolyte who've led

65
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:07,739
the work from the district along with

66
00:03:07,739 --> 00:03:10,019
their Academic Teams worked right along

67
00:03:10,019 --> 00:03:12,659
our with our teachers and leaders in

68
00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:14,280
making certain that students moved

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,260
forward academically and at this time

70
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:18,780
I'd like Dr roblay to share just a few

71
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:21,540
highlights with the board and with the

72
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:28,030
public of some of our good test results

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,780
good afternoon board

74
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:33,000
so we are excited to talk about some of

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,739
the results that we got it's important

76
00:03:34,739 --> 00:03:36,420
to know that we've had results for high

77
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:38,280
school probably in June but recently we

78
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,319
got uh results from three through eight

79
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,299
testing data so a lot of what I'm going

80
00:03:42,299 --> 00:03:44,580
to share with you today is a state

81
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:46,560
comparison data of where we did how we

82
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,780
performed uh with regards to others in

83
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:51,720
the state so for Lafayette Parish we

84
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,879
were number one among largest districts

85
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,459
in Mastery for students that achieve

86
00:03:56,459 --> 00:04:00,060
Mastery or above and one year change of

87
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:02,220
those uh districts in the state so

88
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:04,140
basically if a kid wasn't at Mastery and

89
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:07,019
above we move more kids from Mastery and

90
00:04:07,019 --> 00:04:09,599
Mastery above than any of the large

91
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:11,580
districts in the state and when I say

92
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:14,159
large I mean 30 000 kids or plus we're

93
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,739
also number one in the region you can

94
00:04:16,739 --> 00:04:18,479
see here for four and five for that one

95
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:20,579
year change of moving kids to Mastery

96
00:04:20,579 --> 00:04:22,740
level and it's important to know what

97
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:24,919
we're most excited about probably

98
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:27,780
roughly 90 percent of our schools showed

99
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:30,300
growth of some sort that's an amazing

100
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:32,520
accomplish and a true Testament to the

101
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,500
principals teachers Educators in our

102
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,780
district for for so many of our schools

103
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:38,880
to make some some Treads and make some

104
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Headway that way

105
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,540
um some other things to to make note of

106
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:44,759
we were recently recognized in the state

107
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,860
as top 10 among all districts in

108
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:49,560
Louisiana for again having more students

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,960
move from below Mastery to Mastery or

110
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,340
above

111
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:55,440
um so proud of all of our subgroups that

112
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,300
virtually all subgroups in every grade

113
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,580
three through eight Grew From prior year

114
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:01,860
leap data so that includes students with

115
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:03,600
disabilities as well as English language

116
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Learners all grew in our schools as well

117
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440
as all tested subjects experience growth

118
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,900
from last year to this year Ela Math

119
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,180
Science Social Studies all experience

120
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:17,820
growth and then finally all grade levels

121
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:20,759
three through eight showed growth as

122
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:22,080
well as when we get into high school

123
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880
we'll look at that as well from last

124
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,699
year to this year

125
00:05:25,699 --> 00:05:28,500
special recognitions for two schools out

126
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,660
there Myrtle Place Elementary was number

127
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:33,780
one in the state of all schools for

128
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:36,120
showing the most Improvement in the

129
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,699
level of kids at the Mastery level and

130
00:05:38,699 --> 00:05:40,919
above they moved more kids into those

131
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:43,080
Mastery ranges and higher than any other

132
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,820
school in the state and they were

133
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:46,620
recognized as well and then of course

134
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:48,720
also recognize and special recognition

135
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,479
goes to ECA our Early College Academy as

136
00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:53,039
they continue to be a record-breaking

137
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:55,380
campus as a number one rated School in

138
00:05:55,380 --> 00:05:58,080
the entire state of Louisiana and again

139
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,180
a top 10 School in Louisiana for

140
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:02,340
percentage of students at Mastery level

141
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:06,360
are above for 2022. our sped Department

142
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,300
I can't go without saying special kudos

143
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,100
to miss ortego and our SED Department

144
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:13,979
who have been working tirelessly to do

145
00:06:13,979 --> 00:06:15,419
what's best for our students with

146
00:06:15,419 --> 00:06:17,819
disabilities so what you see here is our

147
00:06:17,819 --> 00:06:20,000
Improvement in rank amongst the state

148
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,380
for moving students with disabilities

149
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:25,080
into Mastery level ranges as well as the

150
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080
change in those levels so you can see in

151
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,500
2019 we were ranked 36 in and the total

152
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,440
percentage and 33rd in the movement of

153
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,500
change from below Mastery to above and

154
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,600
now you can see in 2022 we are number

155
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,639
six in the state for students with

156
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,860
disabilities overall Proficiency in

157
00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:46,620
Mastery or above as well as 13th in the

158
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,539
state for still moving kids that were

159
00:06:48,539 --> 00:06:51,240
below that Mastery level to now on it or

160
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,759
above Mastery level so huge kudos to

161
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:55,860
students with disability and all of our

162
00:06:55,860 --> 00:06:57,500
teachers for supporting that work

163
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,120
because it it has been truly a team

164
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,979
effort

165
00:07:01,979 --> 00:07:04,020
um so then the big question goes to how

166
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:05,759
do we stand right now compared to where

167
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,039
we were before covid right academically

168
00:07:08,039 --> 00:07:10,020
there was always the talk of

169
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:12,479
um the achievement Gap and making up for

170
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:13,620
this

171
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:15,120
um huge learning loss that would have

172
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,740
occurred during a pandemic and as you

173
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:19,080
can see for all grades uh three through

174
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,319
eight we actually overall have caught up

175
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:25,080
and exceeded where we were pre-covid at

176
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,060
38 and a half percent of our kids are at

177
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:29,099
Mastery or above compared to where we

178
00:07:29,099 --> 00:07:31,860
were at 32 and 36 prior to and then you

179
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:34,259
can see for high school we actually

180
00:07:34,259 --> 00:07:36,599
caught up and are slowly back onto that

181
00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:38,220
improvement from where we were last year

182
00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:41,520
at 37.6 percent proficient to 40.1

183
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,740
percent I do want to highlight too for

184
00:07:43,740 --> 00:07:46,620
high school because algebra one

185
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:50,400
experienced the biggest growth of any uh

186
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,340
algebra one uh tested subject in the

187
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:56,759
state 18.8 percentage Point increase

188
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:58,259
that is one of the highest in the state

189
00:07:58,259 --> 00:08:00,660
by far so our algebra one kids did an

190
00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:03,240
amazing job huge tested to miss Olson in

191
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,400
our math department for pushing algebra

192
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,740
one that's always a gatekeeper for

193
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:09,780
graduation and so that is that is very

194
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:12,000
promising results there

195
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,460
and then finally right here you can see

196
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:16,319
we continue to set trends for the most

197
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,780
graduates in lpss I'm proud to say that

198
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:22,259
this past year uh 2022 we graduated more

199
00:08:22,259 --> 00:08:23,940
seniors than we've ever graduated before

200
00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:25,979
in Lafayette Parish in the 20 years that

201
00:08:25,979 --> 00:08:28,440
we've been keeping the latest State

202
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,199
transcript records of graduates so we

203
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:32,640
hope to continue that Trend and we're

204
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,860
excited about that Trend but a lot of

205
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:36,120
kids that were able to get across the

206
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,459
stage and get uh get graduated so those

207
00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:39,539
are a few of the highlights from the

208
00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:41,459
testing data and things we're most proud

209
00:08:41,459 --> 00:08:44,219
of thank you for your time

210
00:08:44,219 --> 00:08:51,190

211
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,120
that concludes our comments this evening

212
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,200
thank you thank you very much I'd like

213
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,240
to spend just one minute kind of

214
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
following up on all that I guess it was

215
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920
about a week or 10 days ago as I was

216
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,260
reading the paper the other morning and

217
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:08,459
I read about

218
00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:11,339
what would an outstanding job our school

219
00:09:11,339 --> 00:09:14,040
system is done in as you mentioned in

220
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,860
some in some areas tops in the state but

221
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:18,540
overall at least in the top 10 percent

222
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:21,000
and I think that's just I think that's

223
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,399
phenomenal

224
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,680
achievement I do I do want to I just

225
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,420
want to take a minute to point out that

226
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:29,940
this this is a community effort

227
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:31,500
literally

228
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,480
and by that I mean

229
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,120
I want to thank everyone involved not

230
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,670
only the school system personnel

231
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:45,120
probably the most responsible but I want to mention that

232
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
our parents the parents of our students

233
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,440
are obviously

234
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,260
interested in obviously working with our

235
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:53,519
students

236
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,860
obviously our teachers

237
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:58,800
uh I want to thank our custodians you

238
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,560
know children don't learn very well in a

239
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,360
dirty environment

240
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880
and while I'm on that children don't

241
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,920
learn very well on an empty stomach

242
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,000
either

243
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,399
so I think that our cafeteria Personnel

244
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:14,339
deserve a lot of praise and credit for

245
00:10:14,339 --> 00:10:17,459
being a part of the overall growth of

246
00:10:17,459 --> 00:10:19,920
our system in Lafayette Parish

247
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,620
uh I want to thank our security officers

248
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:24,660
children don't learn if they don't feel

249
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:25,500
safe

250
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,839
and I think they do in Lafayette Parish

251
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:28,920
Schools

252
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,459
uh and in closing I want to say that one

253
00:10:32,459 --> 00:10:34,380
of the most important things that this

254
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:36,600
body does in my opinion in my humble

255
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,980
opinion

256
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:41,030
is

257
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,800
to hire a superintendent

258
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,839
and I'm here to say

259
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:47,940
but you trust me I think this board did

260
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:51,560

replacement of high school at Lafayette

401
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,880
and that project will this will give us

402
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,500
an opportunity to get started on the

403
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:00,900
project just like we have on most of our

404
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:04,460
other projects we will begin

405
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:07,039
non-destructive construction activities

406
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,440
and this will give the contractor

407
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,840
and the school staff an opportunity to

408
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,059
live on that campus together and learn

409
00:23:15,059 --> 00:23:16,860
how to

410
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:21,539
um survive without being chaotic what

411
00:23:21,539 --> 00:23:24,299
we're intending to do with this proposal

412
00:23:24,299 --> 00:23:26,580
is to

413
00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:27,179
um

414
00:23:27,179 --> 00:23:30,840
do parking enhancements for the students

415
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,140
on the corner of Marie Antoinette and

416
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:37,140
Susan Street I'm going to do some storm

417
00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:39,299
water improvements we're going to do

418
00:23:39,299 --> 00:23:41,179
some

419
00:23:41,179 --> 00:23:44,400
initial campus circulation modifications

420
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,220
to help improve the site circulation

421
00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:49,860
there and give the students and the

422
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:52,200
parents in the drop-off and the buses

423
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,140
improvements

424
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:56,400
um

425
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,120
that's basically what I have that we do

426
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,279
have the funds to cover that and I want

427
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,940
to introduce key players of the team

428
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:09,600
um the CM at risk contractor is Lemoyne

429
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,580
and there's been

430
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:14,940
and the architect is acsw fluger

431
00:24:14,940 --> 00:24:16,980
Architects and the representative here

432
00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:20,820
today is Stephen domain

433
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:23,520
are there any questions

434
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,179
yes sir could you have Mr domain Mr Sims

435
00:24:27,179 --> 00:24:30,179
uh describe in general what uh

436
00:24:30,179 --> 00:24:33,059
stormwater improvements are going to be

437
00:24:33,059 --> 00:24:34,500
made as part of this I know there's some

438
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:35,880
neighbors that live around the campus

439
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,400
that they're just interested in hearing

440
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,200
what we're going to do to mitigate given

441
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,220
the fact that we're going to start

442
00:24:41,220 --> 00:24:48,830
putting gravel and concrete on grass yes sure

443
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,520
all right

444
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,600
so the phase 1A project is predominantly

445
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,480
a parking lot a new parking lot and with

446
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,940
that you know code requires as well as

447
00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:01,559
the city requires that you address the

448
00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:02,600
storm water

449
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,279
runoff that would happen on top of that

450
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,020
surface so a hard surface obviously

451
00:25:07,020 --> 00:25:09,779
can't absorb the water and the current

452
00:25:09,779 --> 00:25:12,419
area that's going in is essentially

453
00:25:12,419 --> 00:25:14,880
primarily Turf and grass

454
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,380
so we have to adapt and provide a

455
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:21,240
meaningful area for which the storm

456
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,200
water runoff would collect on-site we're

457
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,299
improving the existing drainage that's

458
00:25:27,299 --> 00:25:29,220
along that area along the corner of

459
00:25:29,220 --> 00:25:31,799
Marie Antoinette and Susan and we're

460
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:32,820
also

461
00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:35,700
taking the opportunity to accommodate

462
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,679
for the future work that's about to

463
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:40,260
begin which will be the next phase in

464
00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:42,120
the project which is to start working on

465
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:44,820
the building pad itself in order to make

466
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:47,220
sure that we don't have flooding issues

467
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:50,760
or have rain water issues along that

468
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,740
area we're capturing the water that's

469
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:54,240
going to be adjacent to the new building

470
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,840
and we're diverting it to this new

471
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,700
retention area so that we can address

472
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,279
that before it becomes an issue later on

473
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:03,480
a project so we're taking the

474
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,400
opportunity to address that now before

475
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,559
we really get started with above ground

476
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:09,720
work on the building itself where on

477
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,580
campus is the retention area going to be

478
00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:13,620
so it is along

479
00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:16,080
um Marie Antoinette as it approaches

480
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,100
Susan

481
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,520
essentially Where the Sidewalk is along

482
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,440
the side of the baseball fields now so

483
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,000
like you're batting cages the batting

484
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,980
cages the pitching area all right thank

485
00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:29,510
you so much for those answers

486
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,070
are there any other questions

487
00:26:31,070 --> 00:26:34,490
[Music]

488
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:36,059
some room

489
00:26:36,059 --> 00:26:39,840
I'm looking at the photo from uh

490
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,100
possible

491
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:45,000
building did we ever decide where on

492
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
that lane where we are we going to

493
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,220
utilize only this baseball softball

494
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:53,580
field or the football field or what

495
00:26:53,580 --> 00:26:55,860
approximately where are we going to

496
00:26:55,860 --> 00:26:58,200
build this sure the footprint of the

497
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,760
building is going to be located

498
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,220
centrally in the property pretty much

499
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:03,620
the only green space that's available

500
00:27:03,620 --> 00:27:05,760
because we're going to construct School

501
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,200
concurrently with the educational

502
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,620
process and this is the logical place to

503
00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:13,679
do it slight demolition listen that's

504
00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:15,000
going to be required but we're getting

505
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,760
started on that as soon as possible as

506
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,520
far as the baseball and softball field

507
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,240
we're working on a collaborative effort

508
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,360
to utilize Parks and Recreations where

509
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,600
possible to enhance a couple of fields a

510
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,000
baseball field and a softball field for

511
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,240
us to have our game activities there in

512
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,059
practice and it would take the place of

513
00:27:39,059 --> 00:27:42,120
those that are being disrupted on the

514
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:49,549
campus that we're using for constructing

515
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:51,419
thank you very much

516
00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:54,179
I'm sorry Ms libu

517
00:27:54,179 --> 00:27:55,740
um I know it mentions in here the health

518
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:57,539
Academy

519
00:27:57,539 --> 00:28:00,000
relocation or demolition alternates is

520
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,220
that included or is that just it if

521
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:07,860
the project allows so we priced it both

522
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:09,779
ways we priced it as though it's

523
00:28:09,779 --> 00:28:13,020
included and we also priced it to see if

524
00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:15,419
we can have resources in-house that we

525
00:28:15,419 --> 00:28:17,760
can utilize to give us a better value so

526
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,740
that gives an opportunity to get the

527
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:40,730
most feasible approach okay thank you

528
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:44,039

know what we purchased the site there's

556
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,360

00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,200
Stage uh material are we what is the one

558
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,120
next to it are we doing some work on the property that's not fenced in I

00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,440
see the heavy equipment moving dirt around on the property

560
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360
that's not fenced in are we doing

561
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,820
anything with that or that's private I

562
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:10,919
believe that's the private property of

563
00:30:10,919 --> 00:30:13,440
Ash Industries uh I know Lemoine company

564
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
has worked an agreement with Ash

565
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,200
Industries to create a lay down yard and

566
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,020
a place to park their employees during

567
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:24,419
construction which is separate from the

568
00:30:24,419 --> 00:30:27,659
site that we purchased so

569
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,700
but that's that's something that uh

570
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:31,500
Lemoine worked out with the owners of

571
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:33,899
Ashley Industries but so so the property

572
00:30:33,899 --> 00:30:36,419
that's not fenced in has nothing to do

573
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:39,000
with the construction of what we've or

574
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,850
what we're doing

575
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:45,240
that's that's correct it doesn't have

576
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,260
anything to do with the actual

577
00:30:46,260 --> 00:30:47,880
construction of the project really just

578
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,980
for lay down of property so it didn't

579
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:51,600
have to be in the footprint of the

580
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,100
property where we're actually building

581
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:55,740
the uh the new building so we have a

582
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:57,779
lease agreement that we uh have signed

583
00:30:57,779 --> 00:31:00,299
with that ownership of the property and

584
00:31:00,299 --> 00:31:02,460
they're allowing us to use that property

585
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,799
also for storage of on-site dirt and

586
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:05,940
then we're going to take that dirt and

587
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:07,919
put it back on the site it's uh just

588
00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:10,200
there for storage temporarily okay yes

589
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,250

a bit and where are we with that

640
00:33:33,899 --> 00:33:37,140
contractors uh well tomorrow is a store

641
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:39,840
to school I don't have an exact

642
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,360
uh status on where he got but I know he

643
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,679
was trying to get all the posts

644
00:33:43,679 --> 00:33:45,840
installed at all four schools all four

645
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,299
sites before school started I'm not sure

646
00:33:48,299 --> 00:33:50,820
if he's accomplished that or not but uh

647
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:52,919
now that school has started he's going

648
00:33:52,919 --> 00:33:57,419
to shift his operations to either late evenings late afternoons or

649
00:33:57,419 --> 00:34:01,080
weekends so he can avoid the students so

650
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,940
once they get started about how long

651
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:06,120

652
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,220
about

653
00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:11,099

654
00:34:11,099 --> 00:34:12,960

10-15 minutes I mean the coach will have

670
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,160
to break away from the team we don't do

671
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,680

a second that we approve all items not

821
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,140
pool we will entertain you know comments

822
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:51,710

823
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,480
uh this is the yes you're welcome to

824
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,440
come but

825
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,420
this is not a question answers just

826
00:41:57,420 --> 00:42:07,190
about a comment session

827
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,079
Wayne Calvin uh I think before you

828
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:12,780
proceed with 410 you ought to think

829
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:14,579
twice about it there's a there's a lot

830
00:42:14,579 --> 00:42:16,260
of reservations I think you ought to put

831
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:18,180
on that you've given up a lot of

832
00:42:18,180 --> 00:42:21,180
responsibility board members to saying

833
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:23,339
dumping this responsibility on your

834
00:42:23,339 --> 00:42:25,920
purchasing and your superintendent and

835
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,200
when they come up with a project to say

836
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,079
hey here's a budget well but how do they

837
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:32,640
know what the budget is before they get

838
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,920
estimates before they get criteria

839
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,599
before you know what's in the

840
00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:38,819
description and all that and they want

841
00:42:38,819 --> 00:42:40,140
to prove it and then they're going to

842
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:42,720
work out the details later you're giving

843
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,180
up all that responsibilities because the

844
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:47,400
way it reads is once you give them that

845
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,500
budget they're free to do whatever they

846
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:51,240
want with it between the superintendent

847
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,040
as long as it doesn't exceed that amount

848
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,140
so you've given up that total

849
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:57,540
responsibility this is what we elect you

850
00:42:57,540 --> 00:43:00,240
to do is to overlook that now I know a

851
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:01,740
lot of times it's overwhelming because

852
00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:03,540
we're talking about all these schools

853
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:06,119
and facilities all over the parish so

854
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:09,300
what I expect you to do and I think

855
00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:11,339
would be very helpful and I've I've

856
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:12,960
asked the library to do this and it's

857
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,640
been very helpful each one of the

858
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,700
schools we have in in the system here

859
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:20,280
come up with a history a reference book

860
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,920
the age of the school the size of the

861
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,619
school who when it was built how many

862
00:43:25,619 --> 00:43:28,020
students we serve did we add any Wings

863
00:43:28,020 --> 00:43:30,480
have we done any Replacements any work

864
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,240
on that school such that all that is is

865
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:35,160
there and it's available for not only

866
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,440
for you but when your replacement comes

867
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,599
in because when your replacement comes

868
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:41,339
in they don't know what happened two

869
00:43:41,339 --> 00:43:43,319
years ago you know a lot of you have

870
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:45,480
been on here several years and kind of

871
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,119
remember a few years back but there's a

872
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:51,180
constant turnover plus you have all that

873
00:43:51,180 --> 00:43:54,000
information if you put a big investment

874
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,400
in the heating and cooling you know it

875
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,940
okay it was done in 2019 while we doing

876
00:43:59,940 --> 00:44:02,579
it in 2022 if we did it three years ago

877
00:44:02,579 --> 00:44:04,980
you know and we built stiff roof that we

878
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:07,020
build it out of asbestos or did we build

879
00:44:07,020 --> 00:44:09,660
it out of a steel metal thing if you

880
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:11,460
have all that history and you have it in

881
00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:13,859
a reference thing such that you don't

882
00:44:13,859 --> 00:44:15,540
own familiar with the schools in your

883
00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:17,280
District but you're familiar with the

884
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,800
schools that all across the area and

885
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,300
then when we come up with a big project

886
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:23,760
like this one for Truman over Lafayette

887
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,980
High on North side that we did earlier

888
00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:27,660
with the roofs you know we say okay

889
00:44:27,660 --> 00:44:30,060
we're replacing this asbestos roof with

890
00:44:30,060 --> 00:44:31,980
a metal roof because that thing is

891
00:44:31,980 --> 00:44:34,020
leaking in that metal and that asbestos

892
00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:37,020
roof was replaced on there 18 years ago

893
00:44:37,020 --> 00:44:40,020
you've got an idea of when it was done

894
00:44:40,020 --> 00:44:43,140
and to say okay or if it was a poor

895
00:44:43,140 --> 00:44:45,119
design not only that but you should list

896
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,819
the architect of these schools and the

897
00:44:47,819 --> 00:44:50,160
major contractor of these schools such

898
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,380
that you've got a history because if you

899
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:54,060
start seeing a problem that this

900
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:56,040
architect has designed these roofs such

901
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,319
that they leak or these walls they said

902
00:44:58,319 --> 00:45:00,960
they leak hey we've got a problem here

903
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,940
and we've got a history and you can all

904
00:45:02,940 --> 00:45:05,339
tie it back in and it takes some of the

905
00:45:05,339 --> 00:45:07,680
responsibility off the purchasing manner

906
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,319
because if he retired leaves or goes to

907
00:45:10,319 --> 00:45:13,560
somewhere else then you've lost all that

908
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,140
history you know and you you just it's

909
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:18,960
too hard for you to remember everything

910
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,240
that goes on the parish you're trying to

911
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:23,280
deal with many of the education issues

912
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,440
but a lot of these bucks look we're

913
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,780
spending what 30 million on Truman you

914
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:30,000
know we're spending what gobs on on

915
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,980
Lafayette High School not to say that

916
00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:34,079
they shouldn't be done but where's the

917
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:35,880
history for this thing just like we're

918
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,859
building a new Prairie Elementary you

919
00:45:37,859 --> 00:45:40,020
know okay what's what's going in there

920
00:45:40,020 --> 00:45:42,359
how are we making it better and are we

921
00:45:42,359 --> 00:45:44,579
designing the playground equipment such

922
00:45:44,579 --> 00:45:46,920
that maybe we could fence it off and it

923
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,440
could be designed for public use other

924
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,319
than like we have here at truman where

925
00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:55,140
it's in the middle and now you know

926
00:45:55,140 --> 00:45:57,060
you'd have to access the school to get

927
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:59,040
to the playground equipment but if you

928
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,560
had it fenced off some kind of way you

929
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,180
know such that you could have joint use

930
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:05,339
of it says these three months we just

931
00:46:05,339 --> 00:46:07,440
had off of school kids could use that

932
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,300
playground equipment we're just talking

933
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,119
about plant replacing playgrounds at

934
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:14,640
fault you know those kind of things look

935
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,740
ahead and have these things but if you

936
00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:19,319
have a reference menu that you could use

937
00:46:19,319 --> 00:46:22,380
and design all of that you you would

938
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:24,359
have a better idea and then when you

939
00:46:24,359 --> 00:46:26,040
come up with that project you'd have it

940
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,480
right there and then when the cost

941
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,400
estimates come in or change orders come

942
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,380
in you could reference that and just say

943
00:46:31,380 --> 00:46:34,020
okay here's a change order you know and

944
00:46:34,020 --> 00:46:35,940
just like this one at truman IX of

945
00:46:35,940 --> 00:46:37,920
thirty thousand it was a thirty thousand

946
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,420
what change order we're going to do the

947
00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:41,339
fence or the forty two thousand I'm

948
00:46:41,339 --> 00:46:42,599
gonna finish we're going to leave it up

949
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:45,060
to those two people you know maybe you

950
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:47,819
think hey you know maybe you got an idea

951
00:46:47,819 --> 00:46:49,859
maybe why not put a board fence because

952
00:46:49,859 --> 00:46:51,960
a hurricane comes in a big wide open

953
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,940
field it's going to slap down a board

954
00:46:53,940 --> 00:46:55,980
fence I don't care how new it is you

955
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:58,020
know if you hit the right the wrong

956
00:46:58,020 --> 00:47:01,859
ringtone okay but you get the point I

957
00:47:01,859 --> 00:47:03,359
think your relationships in too much

958
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:05,339
control you you've got to revisit this

959
00:47:05,339 --> 00:47:09,000
thing and just say hey I think you uh

960
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
you you really want to uh keep better

961
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,339
tabs maybe put a limit on there like

962
00:47:14,339 --> 00:47:17,880
okay up to 50 000 and after that

963
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,040
uh you know you've got to come back

964
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,630

three-way I don't know who's the board

979
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,839
president the uh uh School Board member

980
00:48:06,839 --> 00:48:12,230
for that that area maybe

981
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,420
so uh you know about the uh about our uh

982
00:48:15,420 --> 00:48:16,980
The Learning Center that we're opening

983
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:20,339
up in September on the end so what what

984
00:48:20,339 --> 00:48:22,319
we're trying to do uh instead of for the

985
00:48:22,319 --> 00:48:24,359
Truman's officer we can send them to our

986
00:48:24,359 --> 00:48:27,300
for our to our facility and we will

987
00:48:27,300 --> 00:48:30,359
teach them computers and all kinds of

988
00:48:30,359 --> 00:48:35,099
stuff in in in in our area and that's what that's what the Harvest The

989
00:48:35,099 --> 00:48:38,160
Learning Center is for our children is

990
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,020
that of them putting them in jail

991
00:48:40,020 --> 00:48:42,059
instead of them for others when they're

992
00:48:42,059 --> 00:48:43,800
out of school they come over to our

993
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,660
Learning Center but we cannot do this by

994
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:47,400
ourselves we do need help from the board

995
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:53,460
and we're asking uh I'll get with the uh the member that represent that

996
00:48:53,460 --> 00:48:55,319
area we do need help for the Learning

997
00:48:55,319 --> 00:48:57,839
Center and that's all I ask so we so we

998
00:48:57,839 --> 00:49:01,619
can keep our children in in that area uh

999
00:49:01,619 --> 00:49:03,059
because it the Learning Center is going

1000
00:49:03,059 --> 00:49:05,160
to be a very very important area for us

1001
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,400
the open uh but it takes money thank

1002
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:09,599
y'all very much

1003
00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:12,720

1006
00:49:19,079 --> 00:49:21,240
I just need to uh

1007
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:22,980
I don't know ask a question or make a

1008
00:49:22,980 --> 00:49:25,740
comment I know we'll just the leadership

1009
00:49:25,740 --> 00:49:32,520
and and the boys the turnover but it's he he smoked my curiosity as far as

1010
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,920
the history of the schools and all the

1011
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,260
buildings that we have and I'm certain

1012
00:49:37,260 --> 00:49:40,280
somewhere in the archive that we we keep

1013
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,740
adequate records as to what the school

1014
00:49:43,740 --> 00:49:46,800
was built with who built the school and

1015
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,599
when and where

1016
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:50,700
but I'm asking the question with the

1017
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:52,500
leadership they're sitting behind me or

1018
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:55,980
in front of me do we do anyone know for

1019
00:49:55,980 --> 00:49:58,319
certain that that's as part of our

1020
00:49:58,319 --> 00:50:02,940
policy or Mr Mr Bullock and can even uh

1021
00:50:02,940 --> 00:50:04,740
answer the question not you know what

1022
00:50:04,740 --> 00:50:07,440
just just just just say yes or no it's

1023
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,240
fine you know when I have to elaborate

1024
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:12,530
on

1025
00:50:12,540 --> 00:50:15,240
the gentleman raised a valid point as to

1026
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:18,300
the history and what we've done to any

1027
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:20,880
of the HVAC go out a couple of years

1028
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,640
from now and you will fortunately retire

1029
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,400
and and uh somebody else take your place

1030
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,220
so we know that we spend millions of

1031
00:50:29,220 --> 00:50:31,619
dollars to replace it and it has to it's

1032
00:50:31,619 --> 00:50:33,240
still going to work I'll try to be as

1033
00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:36,059
brief as possible in the last 25 years

1034
00:50:36,059 --> 00:50:38,300
I've collected a lot of information

1035
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:40,800
all that information is pretty much

1036
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,980
stored electronically we have a file

1037
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:46,619
electronic file system that's stored in

1038
00:50:46,619 --> 00:50:48,960
the cloud that is shared amongst

1039
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,319
everyone in my office and uh if I was to

information is there and it's pretty

1042
00:50:57,420 --> 00:50:59,839
