times he was refused. The

argument broke out and Gates

relieved Arnold of his

[2:34]

[2:51]
>> Mary Lynn Parker, speaking
[2:53]
on behalf of the League Women
[2:54]
Voters to address the subject
[2:55]
of school for proclamations.
[2:58]
Want to be Policies that you'd
[3:01]
be dealing with this morning.
[3:03]
The legal issue to show our
[3:05]
support support proclamations
[3:05]
because proclamations advance
[3:06]
the education of the entire
[3:09]
community. The positive impact
[3:11]
of proclamations as Mookie
[3:12]
full and their reach goes
[3:13]
beyond their reading at
[3:15]
meetings. They're waiting
[3:16]
county citizens of getting to
[3:17]
the man happenings in the
[3:21]
district. Firstly, the board
[3:22]
can and should be proud of the
[3:25]
district's accomplishments
[3:27]
various areas, including
[3:27]
professional development and
[3:29]
the chief student success
[3:32]
academics, arts and sports
[3:33]
proclamations acknowledging
[3:34]
principles month Technical
[3:38]
Education Month. For example,
[3:39]
recognize the dedication and
[3:40]
countless hours work put into
[3:42]
the and students and show the
[3:44]
board's appreciation for the
[3:45]
efforts and a more formalized
[3:51]
manner purple shot the ds.
[3:52]
Secondly, for proclamations
[3:54]
can advance district policies
[3:56]
and promote community
[3:57]
engagement. For example, they
[3:58]
can create momentum for
[3:58]
policies that support students
[4:00]
such as protections against
[4:05]
being arrest. They can also
[4:06]
foster be long with taxpayers,
[4:07]
including who don't children
[4:09]
in the school system and
[4:09]
encourage community
[4:11]
participation and school
[4:14]
activities. Read with him. Red
[4:17]
ribbon. Fittingly, 30
[4:18]
proclamations from the sport
[4:22]
can raise awareness, promote,
[4:23]
understanding and support a
[4:25]
sense of belonging month,
[4:25]
faculty, staff and students,
[4:26]
thereby creating optimal
[4:29]
environment for learning.
[4:30]
Proclamations like Holocaust
[4:31]
history. We Black History
[4:35]
month. Acknowledge unique
[4:38]
experiences, struggles and
[4:39]
contributions and break down
[4:42]
barriers caused by parents.
[4:43]
Need to groups such as
[4:44]
students, employees with
[4:46]
disabilities can be publicly
[4:46]
recognized and supported by
[4:52]
Ford proclamations. Each of
[4:54]
these patients. Prop nations
[4:55]
inform the public about past
[4:56]
and current topics relevant to
[4:57]
the schools, which is fully in
[4:59]
keeping with the district's
[5:03]
purpose. One of education. The
[5:04]
league is resolutely opposed
[5:05]
to a requirement of unanimity
[5:08]
to approve proclamations. Such
[5:11]
a requirement be a stark
[5:13]
outlier and practices of
[5:15]
Representative democracy and
[5:15]
know what calls the local
[5:18]
state or federal level is
[5:19]
unanimity required, not even
[5:23]
for a declaration of war. The
[5:23]
league has that you consider
[5:24]
there's prop decisions that
[5:26]
you're discussing end. This
[5:26]
district's policy.
[5:30]
Additionally, thank you. Thank
[5:45]
>> Well, good morning.
[5:47]
Valentines Day team happy
[5:48]
life. I'm Doctor Gardere area
[5:51]
the chair of the Education
[5:52]
Committee on the naacp. And I
[5:53]
really love from the end
[5:58]
stick. I don't want to
[5:58]
reiterate everything. My
[6:01]
colleague, Doctor Harper said,
[6:03]
but the naacp wants to go on
[6:04]
the record in supporting all
[6:07]
the points that they MAY. And
[6:09]
in encouraging you to retain
[6:12]
the issue is a proclamations.
[6:15]
We proclamations are a
[6:17]
valuable tool, engaging the
[6:20]
community in the important
[6:21]
work that the school district
[6:24]
does related to statues. We
[6:26]
also think it's a way to
[6:28]
educate the community on
[6:31]
things going So we urge you to
[6:32]
keep proclamations as part of
[6:32]
the important work that this
[6:43]
board and
[6:44]
>> public comment for this
[6:49]
morning. We think does you
[6:50]
public comment will move to
[6:52]
item number one on the agenda
[6:56]
for the workshop. Is your view
[6:57]
of discussion discussion
[7:00]
regarding new an updated board
[7:02]
policies and I'm going to
[7:06]
given MR. Chapman, French up
[7:08]
and then make I doing only and
[7:14]
go down the line for each. Is
[7:15]
question.
[7:16]
>> Thank you, MR. Chair. We
[7:16]
are on Tuesday. I'm a port. We
[7:20]
are gets to make it easy with
[7:23]
an aggravation. Questions. So
[7:27]
we are underneath it. So.
[7:30]
>> Thank you, MR. Chaired
[7:30]
morning board as a reminder to
[7:37]
you and to the public. Going
[7:38]
through a review of board
[7:39]
policy. Some of these are new.
[7:42]
Some of these revised you as a
[7:45]
board approve the
[7:45]
advertisement of these
[7:48]
policies on FEBRUARY 11 Board
[7:50]
meeting, they'll be advertised
[7:50]
for public comment for the
[7:53]
next 28 days by statute and
[7:57]
they'll come up for a final
[7:59]
decision on the MARCH 11th
[8:02]
board meeting at a public
[8:04]
hearing and up to you all for
[8:07]
final approval. So this is the
[8:10]
workshop to work on policies
[8:13]
and make any as we go through.
[8:19]
So. There are 7 policy. So to
[8:21]
which are bored by law. So
[8:21]
we'll start with those. The
[8:26]
first one is sad by law, a 0,
[8:27]
1, 4, 3.1 residents areas.
[8:30]
This is a change due to an
[8:33]
updated Florida statute which
[8:37]
took out the number years
[8:42]
where we have to make
[8:43]
necessary changes boundaries
[8:46]
for board member residents
[8:47]
areas and added statutory
[8:48]
language. So you'll see that
[8:51]
in purple there is is the
[8:52]
statutory language put in
[8:53]
there and everything crossed
[8:55]
out. So that's by law. They're
[8:58]
if there's any, I issues there
[9:02]
speak on Okay. Next, my is 0,
[9:07]
1, 4, 9.1 public expressions
[9:10]
of members. You can see edits
[9:17]
were made there and this is
[9:20]
revision that you are making
[9:23]
as a school you'll see the
[9:26]
last revision on that page.
[9:27]
It's from the last board
[9:28]
meeting where that where you
[9:32]
all men did this. And and at
[9:34]
at that sentence there to this
[9:36]
policy. So pause there for any
[9:39]
it's or suggestions.
[9:41]
>> Yes, we do have one this
[9:45]
storm.
[9:47]
>> Good morning, everyone. So
[9:49]
I am opposed to making these
[9:54]
changes to this policy. As
[9:55]
both of the representative
[9:59]
from League of Women Voters in
[10:00]
the naacp presented. I fully
[10:01]
agree with everything they've
[10:03]
said. In addition, when you
[10:06]
look at the proclamations that
[10:09]
we have issued and MR. Tatum
[10:11]
brought up concerns about
[10:15]
getting political. We have not
[10:18]
issued any political
[10:19]
proclamations ever. Your
[10:20]
example was a I think
[10:22]
something about being in line
[10:26]
with Israel at the the county
[10:28]
commission. We've never done
[10:28]
that isn't related to
[10:32]
education. It has no permanent
[10:35]
In the school district. So I
[10:36]
don't see that that's ever
[10:39]
been a problem. Looking at,
[10:40]
for example, this month, what
[10:44]
is Black History Month? Even
[10:45]
our federal government are
[10:46]
current administration has
[10:47]
recognized that it is Black
[10:50]
History Month so something
[10:54]
like that is recognized
[10:55]
federally. I don't see why we
[10:59]
can't recognize that here
[11:00]
locally. In addition, as we
[11:01]
have at our last board
[11:03]
meeting, we had a wonderful
[11:06]
presentation from Tillman
[11:08]
Elementary School with their
[11:09]
video that they created in
[11:12]
recognition of MISTER Tillman,
[11:16]
who their school is named
[11:20]
after. And we the the
[11:21]
>> very large number of alumni
[11:25]
come and speak to us who had
[11:25]
MR. Tillman has their
[11:26]
administrator and their
[11:28]
memories of him. And we
[11:32]
recognize him. We have 7, 7
[11:35]
schools named after African
[11:37]
American Education persons in
[11:37]
our county her Los Hail,
[11:40]
Louise are Johnson, James
[11:42]
Tillman. For I'm able any.
[11:43]
Lucy Williams gd Roger's
[11:44]
gardens. And Barbara, a
[11:47]
Harvey. And as we have in the
[11:49]
last couple years, we
[11:50]
recognized one of each of
[11:52]
these men and women. During
[11:55]
Black History Month here
[11:59]
during the board meetings and
[12:00]
these are wonderful
[12:01]
opportunities to look at black
[12:04]
history in Manatee County to
[12:06]
recognize people here in our
[12:08]
own county who have made
[12:09]
wonderful contributions to
[12:11]
education. The same can be
[12:16]
said for any other. Of the
[12:18]
proclamations. When you look
[12:19]
at Hispanic Heritage Month, we
[12:20]
have a considerable Hispanic
[12:21]
population here in Manatee
[12:24]
County. They bring a lot to
[12:25]
our community. They are very
[12:25]
important members. Our
[12:29]
community. When I was teaching
[12:31]
at Southeast High School, for
[12:32]
example, more than 50% of the
[12:32]
population there is of
[12:36]
Hispanic descent. Need to
[12:37]
continue to recognize that
[12:39]
they exist and that they're
[12:41]
important parts of our
[12:43]
community. And then further,
[12:44]
when you look at Holocaust
[12:49]
remembrance. That was a
[12:49]
massive impact or not our
[12:53]
entire planet. I myself have
[12:57]
taught the book night I leave
[12:57]
the cell. And if you have not
[12:58]
read it, I highly recommend it
[13:01]
is a memoir written by
[13:02]
Holocaust survivor. He's a
[13:04]
winner of a Nobel Peace Prize.
[13:06]
He was 14 when he was taken
[13:10]
the outfits. Father were
[13:11]
separated from his sisters. He
[13:14]
survived. It's incredible and
[13:19]
moving. Text. We need to
[13:22]
continue perpetuate the
[13:23]
understanding of that in our
[13:24]
society there. So many people
[13:25]
out there that want to pretend
[13:29]
it never happened. By
[13:31]
recognizing that it did happen
[13:32]
by continuing to teach about
[13:33]
it, which is, again, part of
[13:35]
our Florida State standards,
[13:36]
as well as Black History
[13:37]
Month. We have
[13:38]
African-American history is
[13:39]
part of our Florida State
[13:42]
standards. This is education
[13:42]
based I myself brought in
[13:43]
Holocaust survivors to speak
[13:47]
to our students. These are
[13:49]
very important things to me.
[13:50]
And this is why I'm opposed to
[13:53]
not recognizing them. We need
[13:56]
to as a board recognize the
[13:57]
contributions of the men and
[14:00]
women here in Manatee County.
[14:01]
Who MAY not normally get
[14:05]
recognized. And that includes
[14:07]
2 meeting recognizing these
[14:09]
proclamations and putting them
[14:09]
out there for our public to
[14:13]
pay attention to so that our
[14:14]
people who mean normally be
[14:18]
not recognized our minority.
[14:20]
Students, staff citizens know
[14:23]
that we know they exist.
[14:30]
That's my comments. Thank you.
[14:32]
I just some thoughts and
[14:33]
>> So obviously this is our
[14:38]
first stabbing kind of. By
[14:39]
wall that we've established
[14:40]
anything to do with
[14:41]
proclamations. So before this,
[14:45]
there was no. Guidance or
[14:47]
anything like that. It was
[14:49]
just for the chair was in the
[14:50]
superintendent, decide where
[14:53]
they do a proclamation or not.
[14:54]
In my time there's been no
[14:58]
proclamation not done and but
[15:01]
I do believe that we need to
[15:04]
have some kind of policy on
[15:08]
proclamations, whether not
[15:11]
good all are doing whatever we
[15:12]
have to have something in
[15:13]
policy. I believe says this is
[15:19]
what we're doing. After our
[15:20]
last board after last workshop
[15:21]
where we discussed this for
[15:22]
little bit. I got to think
[15:27]
about. Obviously moving on to
[15:31]
the next meeting in FEBRUARY
[15:34]
and after discussion with with
[15:34]
the superintendent, I did
[15:35]
decide to do the Proclamation
[15:39]
for Black History Month for
[15:40]
some Number one, we didn't
[15:42]
have any policy or anything to
[15:43]
tell us we should or shouldn't
[15:44]
Excedrin. We are in the works
[15:46]
of that. This number one
[15:48]
number 2. We teach it and it's
[15:49]
in in our curriculum. It's a
[15:50]
Florida state statute. Federal
[15:56]
law said, right? And so I
[15:58]
think that, well, I do agree
[15:59]
with everything that MISTER
[16:02]
Tatum brought up concerning.
[16:03]
Let's not get this political
[16:06]
have these these. Politicize
[16:09]
different proclamations, etc.
[16:10]
I do believe we need to have
[16:11]
some kind of policy to do to
[16:15]
do populations. I don't know.
[16:15]
I don't think that it's
[16:18]
banning all of them. I think
[16:19]
that there is important ones
[16:20]
to do with education that we
[16:24]
should now. I'm not going I
[16:25]
disagree on some point. The
[16:30]
same proclamations. The way
[16:33]
that we show support. And
[16:34]
remember the
[16:36]
>> attribute and all the
[16:37]
contributions that I think
[16:38]
what it's all Black History
[16:42]
Month. Dating a teacher
[16:43]
appreciation we could do
[16:44]
presentations all day long. We
[16:45]
could have we could have
[16:50]
brought exactly what we did
[16:53]
and honor, MR. Children
[16:55]
without it having proclamation
[16:55]
behind, right? We can still
[16:57]
honor the people. Do those
[16:58]
things without having
[16:59]
important book proclamation.
[17:02]
So I don't think having him
[17:04]
having applause. This is no
[17:06]
proclamation. It's going
[17:07]
deviate, too. We don't
[17:10]
celebrate teachers and teacher
[17:10]
Appreciation Week ordered Farm
[17:11]
City week. We don't celebrate
[17:12]
the farmers and then think
[17:16]
that's it would go in my
[17:19]
personal opinion but I think
[17:21]
there's easy fix to
[17:22]
potentially this particular
[17:26]
year policy in the very first
[17:29]
line. If we added there.
[17:29]
Verbiage of something on the
[17:35]
lines that you know. Unless we
[17:39]
strictly abide by the Florida
[17:39]
State statute and
[17:40]
instructional standard
[17:48]
curriculum. We converted later
[17:48]
so we are setting ourselves up
[17:51]
for proclamation that pushed
[17:52]
political issues, whatever
[17:54]
they MAY be, there only saying
[17:58]
we're going to do educational
[17:59]
standards, proclamations, the
[18:01]
things we teach inside of our
[18:03]
schools that are in the
[18:04]
Florida State standards. I
[18:12]
think. Would be a pat. To kind
[18:13]
of get both things right kind
[18:14]
of keep it to where we want to
[18:15]
keep it in this road.
[18:17]
Guardrails. What we
[18:20]
preparations and it's only
[18:21]
toward educational standard.
[18:22]
You keep everything. We've
[18:22]
always kind of been doing
[18:26]
anyways. Kind of that little
[18:27]
route between either not doing
[18:29]
it at all, doing it all. This
[18:31]
is that middle ground. I
[18:33]
believe that if we can get
[18:34]
something in this language
[18:36]
that that speaks about. Got to
[18:37]
follow the Florida State
[18:39]
standards. Education. Of
[18:43]
course. I would be. I think
[18:48]
that's a a good middle ground.
[18:49]
Other that the rest of it. I
[18:54]
mean. If I do. I don't see
[18:56]
anything else in that policy,
[18:59]
but MR. Tatum or MR. Kitty, to
[19:03]
Ok, Yeah. I have the right
[19:04]
completely agree with
[19:06]
everything said and chatted.
[19:07]
>> I think you're hitting us
[19:08]
rather points too. And I'll
[19:09]
just make a suggestion that
[19:11]
make it start off. But I do
[19:15]
want to add one piece before
[19:15]
getting some suggested
[19:16]
language. And that's and I
[19:17]
said this on Tuesday. But I
[19:21]
think if we are going to move
[19:24]
to codifying this policy, we
[19:25]
should include that it only
[19:28]
require a board majority to
[19:29]
adopt the proclamation to talk
[19:31]
about a Super majority. I said
[19:33]
on Tuesday, we'll say it The
[19:36]
this board requires. Nothing
[19:38]
requires a unanimous vote very
[19:39]
few things require Super
[19:44]
Majority. So I think that's I
[19:44]
think it's very fair Chantal.
[19:47]
The point you just made, I
[19:48]
think that's very fair to keep
[19:52]
it relevant to. Florida
[19:52]
education standards in
[19:53]
Florida. Statute to the case
[19:54]
MAY be, but I would like to
[19:59]
see as the ad. Maybe not
[20:01]
include language that are
[20:03]
super a super majority or you
[20:08]
unanimous vote. But that
[20:09]
because I think MR. Tatum is
[20:10]
think where he's on the right
[20:13]
track is that you don't want
[20:14]
to create a situation where
[20:17]
one. You know, board member,
[20:20]
so to speak. Once the bringing
[20:20]
of Prince proclamations just
[20:22]
to get things in flames. And
[20:23]
so I think you're definitely
[20:24]
right about that. So
[20:28]
therefore, I majority of 3.
[20:29]
Should be enough to bring a
[20:34]
proclamation. You trying to
[20:38]
incorporate everybody's.
[20:39]
Feelings here. So it's kind of
[20:41]
going the same way you were to
[20:42]
suggest maybe the school
[20:46]
board, Manatee County. MAY
[20:47]
consider a or adopt
[20:51]
proclamations. Come a relevant
[20:52]
2, Florida education
[20:56]
standards. Meetings and
[20:57]
workshops supported by a board
[20:58]
majority, something along
[21:01]
those winds. And then also I
[21:03]
would strike the second line.
[21:04]
School board member MAY honor
[21:07]
or commemorate individuals. I
[21:07]
think that saying we already
[21:14]
know that we can do And then.
[21:15]
We can deliver anything later.
[21:15]
We can stick to proclamations
[21:18]
that for So that's occurred. A
[21:32]
state. We kind of regret.
[21:33]
We're going to this
[21:34]
conversation. But I was hoping
[21:36]
we wouldn't. Was hoping that
[21:39]
we could just understand that.
[21:43]
Some of these proclamations.
[21:48]
Our political issues. And we
[21:51]
shouldn't be doing. But we
[21:53]
want to have its own. Because
[21:54]
we'll have it all start up
[21:58]
with. A summary of a video
[21:59]
that's out there and you can
[22:00]
see it. It's about a minute
[22:01]
long on you, too.
[22:05]
>> By Morgan Freeman, Morgan
[22:05]
Freeman talking to Mike
[22:06]
Wallace during a cbs
[22:09]
interview. Morgan Freeman. For
[22:11]
those don't know or elderly,
[22:14]
black actor. Well, used to be
[22:20]
on. That's on 60 Minutes. And
[22:20]
the video to the video. Morgan
[22:23]
Freeman says. I don't want
[22:26]
Black History Month. And like
[22:31]
Wallace says. Why not order
[22:32]
prevents because black history
[22:33]
is American history. I don't
[22:37]
want just a month. For black
[22:37]
history that it's part of
[22:41]
American history. Which teach
[22:44]
it and our best standard. So
[22:45]
there's no chance that black
[22:49]
history is going to be. Not
[22:50]
caught or no one's not going
[22:51]
to know about it. Part of our
[22:57]
standards, we have to. So you
[22:57]
go on in that video. It's only
[23:00]
about a minute long and then.
[23:00]
Mike Wallace is what are we
[23:03]
going to do about racism? Not
[23:04]
acknowledging minority
[23:07]
students really. When I hear
[23:09]
language like we have to
[23:11]
acknowledge people for gender
[23:12]
or their race or where that
[23:13]
Hispanics are black, where
[23:17]
that's contrary, everything
[23:18]
United States America stands
[23:19]
for. And that's the point that
[23:20]
Morgan Freeman is making the
[23:22]
video and the answer Mike
[23:23]
Wallace Morgan Freeman gives
[23:26]
Stop talking about it. I'm
[23:28]
going to stop looking at you
[23:31]
as a white man and I
[23:32]
appreciate you stop looking at
[23:34]
me as a black man. Just going
[23:36]
to look at you as Mike. You're
[23:42]
look at me as Morgan. That
[23:43]
also goes along with what
[23:43]
Martin Luther King had to say,
[23:44]
that we're going to look at
[23:46]
people based on the content of
[23:46]
their character instead of the
[23:50]
color of their skin. And
[23:52]
whatever the origin was of
[23:54]
Hispanic Heritage Month or
[23:55]
Black Heritage Month and stuff
[23:55]
like that, it's become these
[23:59]
are not political issues. The
[24:00]
Department of Defense recently
[24:01]
just did away with all of that
[24:04]
kind of stuff. And the reason
[24:05]
is is because they want to go
[24:06]
along with what Martin Luther
[24:08]
King's that let's start
[24:09]
looking each other based on
[24:10]
the content of our character
[24:13]
than the color people's skin.
[24:15]
We can bring MR. Tillman up in
[24:18]
film and family recognize them
[24:21]
in APRIL MAY JUNE, JULY.
[24:21]
Number it, we don't have to
[24:25]
have Black Heritage Month. To
[24:26]
recognize and I enjoyed the
[24:27]
presentation. Great learn more
[24:35]
about county history. Black
[24:36]
history. Notice the people
[24:37]
that are here today supporting
[24:40]
walk to stream out. They are
[24:44]
overtly political left-wing
[24:44]
aligned organizations. The
[24:48]
League of Women Voters and the
[24:48]
naacp are the ones are pushing
[24:49]
this. I don't see anybody else
[24:52]
out there pushing it. We know
[24:56]
that in the sun 3 years ago
[24:57]
right now, the
[24:57]
African-American history Task
[24:58]
force that was being proposed
[25:01]
in this county was actually a
[25:01]
diversity equity inclusion
[25:06]
program. Disguised as an
[25:07]
African-American history
[25:09]
program. If you go back and
[25:11]
look at that drought, the
[25:12]
words, diversity, equity,
[25:19]
inclusion, word in that. Task
[25:19]
force over 24 times over 2
[25:22]
dozen times. That's what it
[25:23]
and it's become a political
[25:28]
issue. The day needs to calm
[25:30]
her in our country and our
[25:32]
county and our school system
[25:33]
where we are not highlighting
[25:35]
people based on the color of
[25:36]
their skin, we'll highlight
[25:37]
and then based on the content
[25:45]
of their character. You know,
[25:46]
the origin of the word slave
[25:48]
is. The origin of the word
[25:50]
slave actually comes from
[25:54]
Slavic people. There were.
[25:55]
Probably 2 to 3 times more
[25:59]
Slavic people. That were
[26:00]
enslaved by North African Arab
[26:04]
taken from Europe African
[26:06]
slaves then were brought to
[26:06]
the United States of America
[26:07]
black slaves that were brought
[26:13]
the United States America.
[26:15]
We're talking about
[26:16]
acknowledging people for
[26:16]
whatever reason and erase
[26:17]
their past gender, their skin
[26:19]
color, whatever. Because
[26:24]
treatment, because 2 to 3 more
[26:25]
time, more thoughts were taken
[26:26]
as slaves and black people are
[26:27]
brought to America. And that's
[26:29]
the origin of that. What if
[26:31]
Japanese people come to us and
[26:33]
say we want to proclamation
[26:34]
about the injustice that was
[26:38]
done through us. During World
[26:39]
War. 2, think means that we
[26:43]
were put in what a jury's
[26:44]
people come to us and say we
[26:45]
want proclamations not only
[26:47]
about the Holocaust, but just
[26:49]
about the oppression that
[26:49]
limit. There's group of people
[26:50]
that have been oppressed
[26:51]
throughout history. That's
[26:54]
definitely one of them. Mike
[26:55]
Wallace says in video because
[26:56]
I don't want to do is history
[26:57]
month either. We just want to
[26:59]
start looking at each other.
[26:59]
On the content of our
[27:05]
character you know, if you
[27:06]
think that I have some. And
[27:09]
then torts. People with
[27:10]
different skin color, actually
[27:14]
a 10 like church. On a regular
[27:15]
basis. I play drums that the
[27:17]
church, I'm friends with the
[27:19]
people there. And if they're
[27:20]
private organizations want to
[27:21]
have these Black History Month
[27:22]
to celebrate them. Great. I'm
[27:25]
all about that. You know, I'll
[27:26]
go to that church and
[27:28]
participate in that. I like to
[27:30]
remind us that the 14th
[27:32]
Amendment to the Constitution,
[27:32]
United States of America, says
[27:35]
that. We have equal protection
[27:39]
under the law. As a government
[27:40]
board up here highlighting
[27:41]
people based on race or gender
[27:44]
or ethnicity or whatever. It's
[27:45]
certainly in violation of the
[27:48]
spirit of that and the Civil
[27:50]
Rights Act of 1964. Also says
[27:51]
that the government will not
[27:52]
discriminate based on race or
[27:56]
gender or ethnicity. And so I
[28:00]
just believe that it's Based
[28:02]
on where we are right now.
[28:08]
It's time for us to stop. With
[28:09]
the race gender and ethnicity.
[28:10]
Type of proclamations were
[28:11]
essentially highlighting
[28:12]
people based on their
[28:13]
ethnicity or the color of
[28:14]
their skin, not on the content
[28:17]
of their character. Now we
[28:18]
want to do proclamations
[28:21]
about. I don't know, national
[28:24]
reading we or, you know, I'd
[28:26]
be ok with a policy that we
[28:28]
can do proclamations, but
[28:28]
we're not going to do any
[28:29]
based on race, gender,
[28:32]
ethnicity or religion. Not be
[28:33]
okay with that. One of those
[28:35]
kind of proclamations. But I
[28:38]
just strongly believe that
[28:42]
time to stop doing things
[28:43]
based upon rate rate this city
[28:44]
and gender are violating the
[28:46]
spirit of the Constitution.
[28:47]
We're certainly violating the
[28:48]
spirit what I would call the
[28:51]
Civil Rights And so I'd you to
[28:52]
join in doing what I would
[28:54]
call our moral duty, our
[28:54]
constitutional duty and our
[28:55]
legal duty. If we're not going
[28:59]
to. Ben proclamations
[29:03]
outright, which I'm not sure,
[29:05]
you know, knowledge reading
[29:05]
week that actually makes our
[29:09]
reading scores any better. It
[29:10]
just takes time up from the
[29:12]
staff to But that population
[29:14]
together. But if we wanted to
[29:15]
proclamations like on, but I
[29:19]
would suggest that we not
[29:19]
entertain them based on race,
[29:23]
gender, ethnicity or religion.
[29:24]
It's our constitutional duty.
[29:25]
It's our moral duty to look at
[29:26]
people based on the content of
[29:27]
our character and our legal
[29:28]
duty based on the Civil Rights
[29:34]
Act. You finish with a quote
[29:38]
from Antonin Scalia who is,
[29:39]
you know, the deceased Supreme
[29:44]
justice one of his. Opinions
[29:45]
that you wrote in a case about
[29:47]
race, he said basically that
[29:54]
for people who feel People
[29:56]
have violated violate the law
[29:57]
against based on their race or
[29:57]
gender. Whatever the courts
[30:00]
are available to them. But in
[30:01]
the eyes of the American
[30:02]
government, this is a quote in
[30:03]
the eyes of the American
[30:04]
government. There's only one
[30:05]
race. And that's the race of
[30:10]
the American people. So do to
[30:10]
entertain the policy we wanted
[30:14]
proclamations about. Reading
[30:15]
out quick or something like
[30:16]
that. I'm okay with that. But
[30:20]
that in our policy, we say
[30:21]
that we will not We're not
[30:23]
proclamation based on race,
[30:24]
gender this your religion. And
[30:29]
that. The things that we want
[30:29]
to education, we're still
[30:30]
going to get done because
[30:33]
there best standards. But we
[30:34]
as a government board to not
[30:36]
made a big knowledge people
[30:37]
based on their race, their
[30:38]
gender, their religion or
[30:39]
their ethnicity. Thank you for
[30:41]
letting me make my comments.
[30:50]
As My district is probably the
[30:51]
most diverse.
[30:55]
>> Well, this year. First of
[30:58]
all, I won't use the word ban.
[31:03]
Proclamation. Just like were
[31:06]
going through the whole cycle
[31:07]
books. I don't like the word a
[31:12]
man. It was more removed.
[31:18]
Follow the law I don't like
[31:27]
the term fanning proclamation.
[31:31]
I think that there. Is value
[31:33]
in and proclamations. But I
[31:35]
think there's Des you. And
[31:39]
them as well. Like I said at
[31:47]
the workshop. If you start.
[31:48]
With one, the next front comes
[31:48]
in. The next one comes in the
[31:52]
next one come. And I don't
[31:53]
want anyone in this room or in
[32:03]
district to take this comment.
[32:04]
The money, it's mostly a
[32:07]
minority group. Clock
[32:09]
proclamations are centered
[32:10]
around a minority group of
[32:15]
people. I never hear a
[32:16]
majority group of people come
[32:19]
and say I want a proclamation.
[32:19]
I want a proclamation the
[32:25]
mission. No women, no men's.
[32:29]
It's always a minority group
[32:39]
of people. I think that there
[32:43]
the federal government. Doing
[32:49]
a specific. Timeline like the
[32:52]
black history and I I know
[32:54]
exactly what. If you're
[32:59]
talking about, I watched that.
[33:00]
It could go do some research
[33:04]
and see. Doctor Ben Carson
[33:06]
basically saying the same
[33:10]
thing. However, there's a lot
[33:18]
of people. Want stay in that.
[33:23]
Category have to be recognize.
[33:25]
We have to be recognized.
[33:29]
Based on skin color. And I'm
[33:31]
more I would rather recognize
[33:31]
you for your calm, plush
[33:35]
months. And what you do just
[33:39]
for the community and yeah,
[33:40]
I've had conversations with
[33:46]
people that. Was my mind, man.
[33:51]
Not comment from sand because
[33:52]
I'm this color or because I
[33:59]
live here. I should get. And I
[34:02]
hate that mentality. Doesn't
[34:04]
matter. You're rich or poor or
[34:08]
the color your skin, you. Are
[34:09]
in control of your own
[34:14]
destiny. That's where I stand.
[34:16]
Stop. I don't think you need a
[34:17]
proclamation to determine your
[34:21]
destiny. I think that the
[34:27]
whole on. Climate. Have seen
[34:28]
it on, keep passing it to
[34:30]
generation, to generation, to
[34:33]
generation because I'm this
[34:34]
color or I'm poor. You could
[34:36]
do. They want. And come up
[34:40]
with the same thing. That's
[34:45]
why. I'm in my Situation Day
[34:46]
in my adult life is because I
[34:51]
can from up because of car. My
[34:52]
skin or because I came from a
[34:58]
family life. It doesn't take.
[35:03]
Skin color or a. Social.
[35:06]
Environment determine what you
[35:07]
how you can succeed in life.
[35:11]
Some. Want to stay in that
[35:17]
perpetual. Lifestyle. Some
[35:17]
want to get out up that
[35:21]
perpetual lifestyle. So I'm
[35:24]
kind of torn with how to do
[35:25]
this because our federal
[35:29]
government recognizes. So it's
[35:33]
got to start somewhere. I
[35:34]
don't know if this
[35:37]
necessarily. Up us to do that
[35:42]
or it has to be done on a
[35:43]
national level or county
[35:45]
level. Rather than just a
[35:47]
school board level. Not that
[35:56]
we're just. I agree with.
[35:59]
You're saying that we can
[35:59]
bring people in here and
[36:02]
recognize. I don't ever want
[36:07]
to get into naming. FEBRUARY
[36:13]
14th 2025. A proclamation for.
[36:16]
Everybody. Have a heart day. I
[36:18]
don't ever something like
[36:19]
that. I don't ever want to get
[36:25]
into that kind of scenario
[36:26]
proclamations for individuals
[36:28]
that contribute to our county.
[36:34]
Or a school district. I just
[36:35]
can name full court or
[36:36]
whatever all of them, but I
[36:37]
don't want to get into the
[36:39]
naming proclamations
[36:42]
individuals because too many
[36:43]
individuals. It's contributed
[36:47]
to our district. You'd almost
[36:48]
have to decide which one is
[36:49]
more deserving any other? Who
[36:54]
would that be? I'm not sure if
[36:55]
we can find the history of
[37:00]
when. Hispanic Cares. Heritage
[37:01]
Month came I don't know if we
[37:02]
have got enough federal
[37:08]
government. Degree. Thanks
[37:10]
only 46 that Florida State
[37:14]
right, teach right. So we
[37:15]
time. And I tell you the
[37:19]
answer to your question.
[37:20]
>> National Hispanic Heritage
[37:22]
Month began in 1968. Is a
[37:22]
weeklong celebration that was
[37:24]
extended to a month in 1988,
[37:31]
ok, thank you. Thank you. I
[37:35]
think there's The PRESIDENT
[37:36]
Versus our country is our
[37:41]
county is and our state. At
[37:45]
what point do you use? So are
[37:47]
separating all these groups
[37:53]
and to MISTER Taylor's point.
[37:54]
The Jewish, you know, Asians,
[37:59]
the
[38:00]
>> Minneapolis, a city to be
[38:04]
honest with you.
[38:05]
>> Some kind of toward this.
[38:09]
I'm more Our curriculum.
[38:15]
>> To teach. I think that
[38:16]
where it should stay is in the
[38:17]
curriculum. I don't
[38:21]
necessarily. Think that we hop
[38:23]
to have a proclamation. But
[38:25]
the federal government. Does
[38:30]
the proclamation. So I'm
[38:32]
really torn
[38:36]
>> You
[38:38]
>> the law came out and said
[38:40]
abolishing on, but we're going
[38:45]
to recognize mlk Day. Has that
[38:46]
trust me over the years people
[38:47]
have asked why do we have a
[38:54]
home on? One day isn't up. For
[38:55]
any celebration. Look at
[38:57]
veterans. We don't have a
[38:59]
Veterans History month. We
[39:02]
have one day. I wasn't saying
[39:05]
we have one day that we
[39:10]
recognize veterans how about
[39:11]
we do it every year? You know,
[39:14]
we do the memorial
[39:15]
celebrations for all those who
[39:17]
served and then we do the
[39:19]
Veterans Day later in the
[39:24]
year. I don't know if there's
[39:28]
going to be. I think there
[39:29]
should be additional language
[39:30]
under this policy about
[39:35]
recognizing. State. That
[39:37]
what's required. In our
[39:41]
curriculum. And nothing beyond
[39:46]
that. On that second line. I
[39:50]
don't. Yeah. And school board
[39:51]
meeting honor or commemorate
[39:54]
individual lower.
[39:56]
>> That is that goes without
[39:56]
saying we do that all the
[39:58]
time. What good news moments.
[40:00]
And if I recommended somebody,
[40:02]
I think that they need to calm
[40:05]
and share with our district.
[40:07]
The great things that they do.
[40:11]
For our students. I don't
[40:12]
think that's know. But need to
[40:18]
be put in writing that. I kind
[40:25]
of have to laying If it and
[40:26]
our curriculum. I think that
[40:33]
we need go with that. But I
[40:36]
promise side of I don't know
[40:37]
necessarily have have a month,
[40:38]
but it just states as we're
[40:41]
doing it. I think it's a
[40:43]
required thing. To MISTER
[40:43]
Tatum Point, we have to teach
[40:46]
it throughout history.
[40:56]
Throughout history. So I
[40:58]
tornadoes because I I buy
[40:59]
everywhere I go to school and
[41:00]
I have been to many schools
[41:04]
over past 2 years, whether its
[41:06]
out east out west or in my
[41:07]
district alone or any of your
[41:09]
districts really. I go and I
[41:12]
see students. I see children
[41:15]
learning. I don't look at the
[41:18]
color of their skin. I
[41:19]
seriously do not look at their
[41:22]
color, their skin. I look at
[41:24]
kids here excited to see you.
[41:28]
I kids that have been aren't
[41:30]
hears because something
[41:31]
happened that morning or that
[41:32]
need before they came to
[41:34]
school that day. I think he
[41:39]
chirs. I don't look at it.
[41:43]
Their skin. I look at their
[41:46]
classrooms and see how pretty
[41:47]
are, how dull and dry maybe
[41:50]
they are or how they interact
[41:51]
with students. But I don't
[41:56]
look at their skin color. We
[42:05]
have many people. That we
[42:05]
serve in this district were
[42:10]
customer service or not. I
[42:10]
know where some things there
[42:14]
are some things that could be
[42:15]
brought our attention. And I I
[42:15]
would totally just put my foot
[42:21]
down us a note. Not doing not.
[42:22]
But if the state and federal
[42:26]
government recognized specific
[42:28]
timelines for recognizing some
[42:29]
of the people that contributed
[42:33]
to our country. I don't know.
[42:34]
Now is the time to do that. I
[42:38]
can see that being. Later.
[42:38]
Come pick I mean, we just
[42:40]
that. Like history, I don't
[42:42]
think that we can. Taking
[42:50]
right? Think know you're So I
[42:51]
just I just want to say that
[42:58]
the board going around I know
[43:02]
couple key pond or something.
[43:06]
I just want to be. I think
[43:08]
there's going to be some
[43:08]
thoughts of their at where
[43:11]
they're at. And I don't think
[43:15]
this is a in my personal
[43:16]
opinion, a convincing. Well,
[43:16]
what about this? What about
[43:19]
that? A thing? I think that
[43:20]
there's gonna be board
[43:20]
members. So what I'm saying is
[43:22]
I'm not going to go around the
[43:23]
route back and forth.
[43:25]
17 million times right? Got.
[43:29]
To be honest with you.
[43:31]
Presentation later on for more
[43:32]
impactful. Important to spend
[43:33]
hours on you rather than this.
[43:37]
So I just I'm gonna go this
[43:39]
these I've said what I said. I
[43:41]
still stick with putting the
[43:42]
language I fit in there. Got
[43:43]
strictly live with the Florida
[43:45]
State standards. State.
[43:48]
Federal law. That's that's my
[43:53]
stance. I will go overtime
[43:54]
here again. I thought I didn't
[43:55]
I don't want to go back and
[43:57]
forth back and forth. We got a
[44:00]
long day so it felt right now.
[44:05]
>> I wanted to point out that.
[44:06]
Our proclamation, we don't
[44:08]
discuss anything that's dei.
[44:11]
We don't discuss slavery. The
[44:17]
one that we just had. Talk
[44:18]
about black Americans remain
[44:18]
in plant and Byron
[44:20]
contributions to history and
[44:22]
culture of state of Florida in
[44:22]
Manatee County, Black
[44:26]
educators. This is part of
[44:26]
where I was going like played
[44:27]
a prominent role in the
[44:28]
history, education, Manatee
[44:32]
County. We talk about required
[44:35]
by Florida statute. Isn't our
[44:36]
proclamation about teaching
[44:37]
history. So those things I
[44:40]
don't see as political we
[44:41]
don't we don't bring up any of
[44:42]
the things that you are
[44:47]
referring to. So that that
[44:48]
that was my response to that
[44:51]
comment. I agree with MR.
[44:51]
Kennedy with basically
[44:53]
everything he said. I agree
[44:55]
with a and what she was saying
[44:59]
about. But it is recognized by
[45:02]
the government that I know we
[45:03]
we don't generally, though we
[45:04]
haven't had a bunch of
[45:04]
different groups coming
[45:06]
demanding proclamations. It's
[45:10]
never come up before. So I
[45:10]
don't see that it's going to
[45:11]
suddenly start this week or
[45:19]
this year. With regards to
[45:20]
military appreciation, that is
[45:20]
actually the entire month of
[45:21]
MAY is military appreciation.
[45:23]
We just don't. I don't see why
[45:25]
we couldn't a proclamation
[45:27]
recognizing that we have a
[45:28]
number of veterans here. I
[45:29]
myself, the child of a veteran
[45:30]
and the grandchild of 2
[45:31]
veterans, one of whom who
[45:35]
served in Pearl Harbor. So
[45:35]
military history is very
[45:39]
important to me as well. But
[45:41]
MAY is actually military
[45:43]
military National Military
[45:45]
Appreciation Month, which
[45:46]
includes loyalty day on MAY.
[45:46]
First victory in Europe. Day
[45:48]
on MAY 8th military Spouses
[45:50]
Appreciation Day, which is the
[45:52]
freight for Mother's Day.
[45:54]
Armed Forces day on MAY 16th.
[45:55]
And of course, Memorial Day on
[45:56]
MAY 25th. In addition to
[46:00]
Veterans Day on NOVEMBER, 11th
[46:01]
and I don't know, absolutely
[46:02]
can have a proclamation
[46:03]
recognizing the contributions,
[46:07]
our military because they they
[46:07]
are the heart and soul of
[46:11]
keeping our country safe. So I
[46:11]
just wanted to let you know
[46:16]
that we do I no, that's okay.
[46:17]
I didn't. I didn't know if you
[46:17]
remember Duran so 5 minutes
[46:21]
and we don't have it. We make
[46:23]
but we do have that day and
[46:24]
then and I also what wanted to
[46:28]
bring up the fact that if you
[46:29]
want to look at in our history
[46:33]
here in Florida. Are schools
[46:35]
were not segregated. Until the
[46:39]
1970's. Here we have teachers
[46:41]
and staff who burst in who
[46:43]
currently work in our county
[46:46]
who are in segregated schools.
[46:49]
This is not long ago. It's not
[46:50]
like it's 200 years ago or 100
[46:54]
years ago. Nothing that
[46:55]
talking about proclamations
[47:00]
referred to slavery. But i
[47:01]
think this show that we have
[47:01]
we have come a long way. We
[47:06]
have gun from in my childhood
[47:07]
having a segregated school. I
[47:08]
wouldn't live in Florida. But
[47:08]
during my lifetime, we have
[47:12]
segregated schools in Florida.
[47:14]
In 1970, widespread
[47:15]
desegregation was achieved in
[47:18]
Florida schools. And in 1976,
[47:18]
a federal court in Tallahassee
[47:20]
approved a desegregation plan
[47:23]
1976, I was too. So in my
[47:27]
lifetime. This was this was
[47:27]
still an issue here in
[47:31]
Florida. So I think it's
[47:33]
important that we recognize
[47:36]
that and, you know, we don't
[47:38]
have everybody coming out and
[47:41]
asking for lots of different
[47:42]
proclamations, a lot of other
[47:43]
things. And I understand MR.
[47:45]
Tatum, you're not wanting to
[47:46]
focus on race, gender,
[47:48]
ethnicity, or religion. But
[47:51]
here in our board meetings we
[47:52]
have in vocations where we
[47:53]
have prayer, which is mostly
[47:59]
Christian. Where we are guest
[48:03]
invoke haters mention Jesus.
[48:05]
In addition to GOD and not
[48:06]
everybody believes that Jesus
[48:11]
is the Messiah. So, you know,
[48:12]
if we're going to eradicate
[48:12]
that been, are we going
[48:13]
eradicate implications as
[48:16]
well? So this is just is just
[48:18]
what my thought process is
[48:20]
going. So I do completely. I
[48:20]
understand where all of your
[48:24]
coming from. I do. And I say
[48:24]
that very respectfully. I
[48:28]
really mean that but I feel
[48:29]
like as asthma spray said
[48:30]
that, I don't think we can
[48:33]
just stop doing them. As the
[48:34]
federal government is
[48:35]
recognizing them. I feel that
[48:40]
we should as well. We thinks
[48:41]
MR. Kenny? Yeah, real quick. I
[48:46]
sort of respect policy.
[48:46]
>> Interesting and I certainly
[48:48]
would have a lot of this
[48:49]
debate on the specific
[48:50]
proclamation. But what's the
[48:53]
policy and Mr? Take a look at
[48:54]
just one road board members
[48:55]
should be able to bring.
[48:59]
Objectionable war to some
[49:00]
offensive proclamation. I also
[49:01]
think one or 2 board members
[49:02]
should be able to stop a
[49:03]
proclamation that the majority
[49:07]
supports. So I I hope. That we
[49:10]
can getting bored majority to
[49:12]
support. It would require a
[49:14]
board majority to morning or
[49:15]
stop a proclamation that my
[49:22]
Thanks that. Senate.
[49:23]
>> So this permit the point
[49:24]
that some of the federal and
[49:28]
state governments. There
[49:29]
statute or whatever, but that
[49:31]
would be bizarre that's true,
[49:32]
because on 31st of JANUARY
[49:35]
2025. Released from the
[49:36]
Department of Defense guidance
[49:39]
from the secretary of Defense
[49:39]
Identity Month that the
[49:43]
Department of Defense, our
[49:43]
unity and purpose are
[49:44]
instrumental to meeting the
[49:45]
department's warfighting
[49:48]
mission. With, but education
[49:50]
and their instead of war
[49:50]
fighting for a school district
[49:51]
or something that
[49:53]
educationally mind it efforts
[49:55]
to divide the 4th. But one
[49:56]
group ahead of another road,
[49:57]
camaraderie and threaten
[50:00]
mission execution going
[50:03]
forward. Dod components and
[50:04]
military departments will not
[50:05]
use official resources to
[50:07]
include man hours.
[50:07]
Celebrations or events related
[50:11]
to cultural awareness Month,
[50:11]
including national
[50:12]
African-American Black History
[50:16]
Month Women's History Month,
[50:17]
Asian, American and Pacific
[50:17]

[50:21]
Heritage Month National
[50:22]
Disability Employment
[50:23]
Awareness Month. The National
[50:26]
American. And Then Heritage
[50:28]
Month, certain members service
[50:29]
members and civilians remain
[50:30]
permitted to attend these
[50:31]
events in an official capacity
[50:34]
outside of duty hours.
[50:35]
Installations, unit and
[50:36]
officers are encouraged to
[50:36]
celebrate the valor and
[50:37]
success of military heroes of
[50:39]
all races, genders and
[50:40]
backgrounds. As we restore,
[50:43]
we're a culture. Indeed. Those
[50:44]
we are proud of our warriors
[50:48]
and their history might we are
[50:48]
proud of our educators and
[50:49]
history, but we will focus on
[50:51]
the character of their service
[50:53]
instead of their mutable
[50:53]
characteristics. This guidance
[50:59]
is effective immediately.
[51:00]
Federal government going down
[51:01]
that road. And the Department
[51:01]
of Defense, which is the
[51:03]
biggest federal department has
[51:08]
already made that change.
[51:09]
We're going to do
[51:10]
proclamations. I think we need
[51:12]
to decide who gets to decide
[51:15]
them. It just the CHAIRMAN?
[51:17]
Like to do a proclamation
[51:18]
We're going to proclamations
[51:19]
are a lot of things I like to
[51:23]
do. Proclamations on founding
[51:25]
This is this is the month of
[51:26]
the we celebrate the PRESIDENT
[51:28]
To birthdays of the PRESIDENT
[51:29]
Of the United States Pacific
[51:31]
leave Washington Lincoln. And
[51:33]
some of the other ones. So can
[51:34]
can I bring up a proclamation
[51:38]
for that? Founding fathers and
[51:39]
competitions that they've made
[51:40]
to, you know that I America,
[51:41]
America and their heroism. I
[51:45]
can tell you that Polk County,
[51:46]
their education Board of
[51:47]
Education, decided not to do
[51:47]
any more proclamations just
[51:52]
because of these reasons.
[51:53]
There the line exactly what
[51:53]
the Department of Defense is
[51:55]
saying. We're going to start
[51:56]
focusing on the content
[51:57]
people's character instead of
[51:59]
the color of their skin. But,
[52:00]
you know, who gets to decide
[52:01]
which one of these populations
[52:03]
come up? I can tell you that
[52:04]
tens of thousands of my voters
[52:05]
in my constituents want this
[52:08]
all be done with. That's how
[52:11]
they voted. That's what that's
[52:11]
why the Department of Defense
[52:13]
is doing what they're doing.
[52:16]
So, you and so if we're going
[52:16]
to, I don't think it's right
[52:17]
that the CHAIRMAN Of the board
[52:19]
and the superintendent to do
[52:19]
this. And so if we're going
[52:23]
to. You know how these
[52:24]
proclamations, I think should
[52:27]
be voted on. I think that do
[52:27]
you. You mentioned one part of
[52:31]
that should be voted on and
[52:32]
you know, if it's a divisive
[52:34]
subject like a 3 to 2 vote.
[52:35]
But to me tells me it's
[52:36]
something inherently
[52:37]
political. That shouldn't be
[52:38]
part of what we're doing. That
[52:41]
one board member wants to
[52:42]
simply acknowledge block their
[52:43]
apartment. There has been
[52:45]
Hispanic Heritage Month for
[52:47]
some reason. That's fine. But
[52:48]
a lot of my constituents want
[52:50]
this to be done with. That's
[52:51]
what they voted for the
[52:52]
national level. And that's to
[52:52]
degree what they voted for me
[52:56]
or so. I would say that we
[52:57]
should do this unanimously in
[52:58]
that one of the subjects of
[53:00]
these proclamations. Because
[53:01]
of their given political
[53:05]
nature that that shouldn't be
[53:05]
done. So we have to decide in
[53:06]
our policy who gets the bring
[53:08]
them up. I think they should
[53:10]
be to be done in a unanimously
[53:12]
with the Super majority. If
[53:16]
we're going to do that. It was
[53:20]
far as per goes. Is not is not
[53:25]
a. Proclamation. A sense of
[53:26]
what we do for proclamations.
[53:27]
And that's probably another
[53:27]
discussion for another day.
[53:33]
But Congress congressional
[53:34]
Congress has the chops That's
[53:35]
long established many court
[53:35]
cases that in my research on
[53:37]
that. But we will go there
[53:38]
today. So my point is that
[53:39]
we're going to do the I think
[53:43]
that should be unanimous. Or
[53:44]
at least a super majority and
[53:46]
that board member then can
[53:47]
bring up a proclamation
[53:51]
because it shouldn't be
[53:52]
available just to the CHAIRMAN
[53:54]
And to be superintendent site
[54:04]
so. Thank Michael
[54:05]
>> MISS Pressly Year. Look it
[54:07]
up the it's a real quick,
[54:09]
please do. The very first
[54:16]
2025. Trump acknowledges
[54:17]
proclamation night FEBRUARY
[54:17]
but So I know the Defense
[54:18]
Department did it absolutely
[54:20]
agree with that. But the
[54:22]
PRESIDENT United States. Did
[54:25]
the opposite tens of thousands
[54:26]
of supporters probably vote
[54:30]
for them did so. This is not
[54:33]
like black and white. You
[54:34]
know, political that you know
[54:36]
what it's inherently political
[54:36]
over disgusting.
[54:38]
Unfortunately, could read
[54:43]
>> First of all, as far as
[54:50]
>> segregation the 70's. You
[54:53]
know, I I recognize there was
[54:54]
all those across the country.
[54:55]
To be honest with you. Just
[54:57]
not here, but Riordan, 2025
[55:02]
now. We there learn for
[55:03]
history. Are we dwell on it?
[55:06]
And that's good. Term. I
[55:11]
think. I would rather learn
[55:12]
and not repeat history, then
[55:18]
dwell on it. And as far as and
[55:19]
GOD, all over our money. Just
[55:24]
look at GOD we trust. When say
[55:29]
the Pledge of Allegiance. I
[55:30]
always say one nation under
[55:35]
GOD. Because to me that. That
[55:36]
together, one nation under
[55:41]
GOD. I don't do the Probably
[55:42]
only one and a set of gear,
[55:55]
but the dod did did that. I
[55:56]
vaguely remember hearing a
[55:59]
little bit about thought. To
[56:03]
MISTER Show its point. The
[56:05]
PRESIDENT Did declare on
[56:09]
FEBRUARY 1st. If you look at
[56:12]
the history of the voting
[56:20]
record that came out for help.
[56:20]
Like I said, I don't know Now
[56:22]
is the time to do All right.
[56:24]
General of the proclamations.
[56:28]
Unilaterally. I think that
[56:30]
this is this something that we
[56:37]
need to put in policy. If it's
[56:39]
being federally. Then it
[56:46]
should be. Recognized.
[56:48]
>> She went to PRESIDENT,
[56:52]
>> saying get I I I'm not
[56:54]
saying ok, strike that. If
[57:00]
it's been. I just hate Cut it
[57:03]
off all at once. MR. Tatum. I
[57:04]
really I think that really
[57:06]
have done. Black History Month
[57:09]
has been. On the books for so
[57:13]
long. And 4. To just write
[57:16]
that down. I don't think
[57:19]
that's a good thing. Okay. But
[57:22]
I also think that we need to
[57:26]
consider. Stopping at at some
[57:27]
point. I just don't think
[57:32]
FEBRUARY is the time to do it.
[57:34]
Or they followed. Now we have
[57:36]
to.
[57:38]
>> I know, that feeling know.
[57:39]
Always bring out back to the
[57:43]
policies. Can always modify
[57:45]
Apollo Yeah, like it back to
[57:45]
policy and it looked like I
[57:47]
said, I'm not I'm not allow
[57:48]
>> to go because all go back
[57:50]
and forth and on and on. But
[57:51]
MISTER Taylor brings up the
[57:54]
point. We do have to. Figure
[58:00]
out something with the policy.
[58:01]
There's a majority. It seems
[58:02]
like that want to add
[58:03]
something to first line here
[58:07]
that states. We're allowed to
[58:07]
do them following the Florida
[58:11]
state statute miles. What's
[58:13]
what's in instructional
[58:14]
standards and abide by the
[58:17]
state and federal law. Yes,
[58:19]
now. How do we decide how it
[58:21]
who doesn't write? I am not
[58:22]
advocating that is the chair
[58:26]
and the superintendent. It
[58:26]
needs to those brought up. I
[58:28]
didn't think about it. It just
[58:32]
the population just. We're on
[58:33]
the agenda and never once did
[58:36]
I Dri from here. MISS Saunders
[58:39]
did you for the they were just
[58:40]
all right. So I get it, I
[58:42]
getting for chair to have it.
[58:43]
That's it should be. It should
[58:44]
be from the board standpoint,
[58:49]
and you know, my my thought
[58:50]
process that we can put
[58:52]
everything we want to hear.
[58:56]
That it would be review that
[58:57]
board briefings to save Want
[59:00]
you briefing or not? I think
[59:01]
you have to put in there to
[59:06]
say something to extent of. 30
[59:07]
days the population has to be
[59:09]
into the district no later
[59:13]
than 30 days.
[59:14]
>> Before the.
[59:16]
>> The proclamation is is
[59:17]
being asked to be done because
[59:20]
you've got to have time for
[59:20]
the board members to review
[59:24]
can be like heyday the
[59:25]
briefing. I want sit here as a
[59:26]
board member, something like
[59:27]
that, the last one. And then
[59:30]
we got to go back in. We can't
[59:31]
discuss it. So I think it's
[59:32]
got to be some kind of a
[59:33]
timeline moment. You know, I
[59:34]
don't think there's anybody. I
[59:37]
do. I do again, I don't know
[59:37]
the history of how these
[59:40]
things proclamations happen. I
[59:43]
don't think there's anybody
[59:44]
coming up saying we have to do
[59:45]
these proclamations. The want
[59:46]
to be currently do. I think we
[59:51]
chose to do that. And how we
[59:52]
chose seems to that that's
[59:53]
always been the
[59:56]
superintendent. And when they
[59:56]
create the agenda of the chair
[1:00:01]
that approve the agenda. But I
[1:00:02]
don't know that that out, but
[1:00:02]
I think we're good something
[1:00:03]
in the policy that says
[1:00:07]
obviously. Certainly a lot of
[1:00:09]
important things and are de
[1:00:11]
facto standard Florida federal
[1:00:16]
law in 30 days before. The
[1:00:18]
said Data proclamation and
[1:00:19]
approved by the majority of
[1:00:27]
the board and average.
[1:00:28]
Advertised. I mean, Bonita
[1:00:29]
advertised it would have to
[1:00:32]
over tonight with agenda to
[1:00:33]
but we could be on the agenda.
[1:00:35]
Yeah. The 7 days. Yeah. Yeah.
[1:00:37]
It's going to be put on the
[1:00:38]
agenda just like you normally
[1:00:41]
think right now for. I think
[1:00:43]
advertisers like right, ok,
[1:00:45]
got to know it would 30 days
[1:00:46]
on the operating under for
[1:00:47]
someone to summit.
[1:00:50]
>> Okay. Us. But the winds,
[1:00:52]
however, we would say this is
[1:00:52]
where proclamations are
[1:00:55]
submitted. If you want to
[1:00:57]
present a proclamation for
[1:00:59]
your example, you have to be
[1:01:03]
30 days before 17. It's the
[1:01:04]
present day, 30 day for a 17
[1:01:07]
to have to come to by you have
[1:01:09]
go through. Is does this work
[1:01:09]
or not? We want this
[1:01:17]
proclamation or not. With With
[1:01:19]
the majority vote with it
[1:01:22]
before one of 3 to 5, 0,
[1:01:23]
>> I v I get both sides get
[1:01:25]
that. We pass to go the time.
[1:01:27]
Not a majority, but I also get
[1:01:30]
the side of Howie to board
[1:01:35]
proclamation with. 2 members.
[1:01:36]
One member of the board
[1:01:36]
doesn't agree with the
[1:01:42]
proclamation. To be honest
[1:01:43]
with you. I think no
[1:01:45]
disrespect. I I do agree with
[1:01:46]
point. You brought up with
[1:01:49]
things. But I think we've we
[1:01:50]
spent an hour now on this that
[1:01:52]
we could have been well suited
[1:01:54]
for something that's far more
[1:01:56]
packages don't I don't think
[1:01:57]
you're ever at a time in our
[1:01:58]
proclamation so far that on
[1:02:00]
the board that any type of
[1:02:03]
controversial, major
[1:02:03]
controversial things we've
[1:02:06]
tackled controversial topics,
[1:02:08]
but never because of the
[1:02:13]
proclamation I think me that I
[1:02:15]
think that if think we're can
[1:02:15]
of worms for just opened the
[1:02:18]
Cannes and now they're out
[1:02:20]
everywhere. And so we've got
[1:02:21]
to try to put it back in or
[1:02:23]
fix it. And I do agree we got
[1:02:24]
off the so they visit was the
[1:02:27]
time to do it
[1:02:28]
>> MARCH air yeah. Is because
[1:02:29]
these are going to be
[1:02:32]
substantial changes to this
[1:02:33]
policy? This won't be this at
[1:02:34]
this point. This will not be
[1:02:38]
on the MARCH. 11th. We're
[1:02:40]
going to one recommendation is
[1:02:41]
I I can take what you all are
[1:02:43]
saying. Work on some language
[1:02:47]
work with council potentially
[1:02:48]
meet with each one of you and
[1:02:49]
we can kind of come up with a
[1:02:50]
something that we can bring
[1:02:52]
back in the next policy pack
[1:02:54]
it because at this point, even
[1:02:56]
if you came up with language
[1:02:58]
right now, we wouldn't be able
[1:02:58]
to because we've already
[1:03:01]
average right so so we can.
[1:03:05]
This was informative. Can
[1:03:05]
start working on this with
[1:03:09]
counsel and and you know,
[1:03:11]
bring it back or briefings or
[1:03:12]
whatever. And you know, and we
[1:03:14]
can try to.
[1:03:15]
>> Talk with us again as a
[1:03:17]
recommendation to the to the
[1:03:18]
chair.
[1:03:19]
>> I would definitely from
[1:03:19]
that. I think we have a
[1:03:20]
consensus on where we want to
[1:03:23]
land for majority of the
[1:03:24]
board. It feels like. But I do
[1:03:28]
think until we see. It on
[1:03:29]
paper and what it looks like
[1:03:29]
we're all talking like
[1:03:33]
apathetic language. We see it.
[1:03:33]
I don't think we can really
[1:03:34]
look at it and that just that
[1:03:36]
until yesterday to it. So I
[1:03:37]
would be fine with you coming
[1:03:40]
up with some. Different draft
[1:03:41]
and in meeting with
[1:03:42]
individually as well. Yeah, it
[1:03:42]
was to make sure that her
[1:03:43]
knees are good with whatever
[1:03:44]
draft you have be okay with
[1:03:48]
that.
[1:03:48]
>> took a process question
[1:03:51]
through this quickly. Promise
[1:03:52]
you said something. Not quite
[1:03:53]
sure. I understand or agree
[1:03:57]
with. Said that. Because we're
[1:03:59]
making changes to the policy.
[1:04:00]
We would not have to really
[1:04:02]
notice it. My understanding
[1:04:06]
and I could be wrong. We
[1:04:08]
started that 30 o'clock last
[1:04:09]
meeting. So that notifies the
[1:04:11]
public that a public changes
[1:04:14]
are coming to these policies.
[1:04:15]
Therefore, during this 30 days
[1:04:16]
we can make any change. We
[1:04:17]
want, including on on the
[1:04:21]
meeting that we. Vote to
[1:04:22]
approve the changes we've
[1:04:25]
made. That's what the public
[1:04:25]
hearings for public can come
[1:04:26]
up and talk about it. The
[1:04:28]
board can then talk about it
[1:04:29]
and we can make changes right
[1:04:30]
there that day. I'm wrong,
[1:04:33]
please correct me. But that's
[1:04:34]
my And I could been incorrect,
[1:04:37]
Ali, not my.
[1:04:38]
>> The law firm over Council
[1:04:39]
to weigh in on that MR.
[1:04:43]
Penalty, MR. Day.
[1:04:43]
>> And once the language is
[1:04:44]
advertised, if there are
[1:04:47]
substantial changes made
[1:04:49]
needing, they have to be re
[1:04:50]
advertise for 28 period,
[1:04:51]
person chapter one. 24
[1:04:53]
statute, one, 20. Thank you.
[1:04:59]
Okay. It's permit.
[1:05:02]
>> that goes to my point, you
[1:05:05]
can pull this particular
[1:05:07]
policy. Henry start by having
[1:05:07]
another right or have the
[1:05:10]
other ones. But right. Just
[1:05:12]
real quick. I want to say I
[1:05:14]
completely support what you
[1:05:15]
chair and that going forward.
[1:05:18]
I think that with that.
[1:05:21]
>> some the plane.
[1:05:24]
>> So look at table in this.
[1:05:24]
Then getting some language
[1:05:25]
that we've talked about
[1:05:27]
meeting with individuals
[1:05:29]
pulling this obviously from.
[1:05:34]
The next meeting. Moving on to
[1:05:38]
the next policies Chad, to be
[1:05:38]
put just the proclamation
[1:05:40]
piece of the language. Can my
[1:05:42]
letter had things
[1:05:43]
>> U.S. Letter that stay?
[1:05:46]
Yeah. I mean,
[1:05:49]
>> we did that. That's not
[1:05:49]
spent an hour and that had i
[1:05:53]
had go right after that. You
[1:05:53]
know I would just pull that
[1:05:56]
first front line. I also, by
[1:05:57]
the way, I have no other
[1:05:57]
comment on any of the other
[1:05:58]
policies and and that.
[1:06:01]
>> means many of them. I MAY
[1:06:03]
have to lean MR. Die again on
[1:06:03]
that because I think what
[1:06:04]
you're asking is can we get
[1:06:08]
rid of the? First first
[1:06:11]
sentence and still publish and
[1:06:12]
proof potentially this policy
[1:06:15]
with. Just the letterhead
[1:06:16]
added to this policy, I'd have
[1:06:18]
to lean on council that
[1:06:20]
because that might be
[1:06:21]
substantially.
[1:06:22]
>> It would be a substantial
[1:06:24]
change in tone. Your policy
[1:06:27]
adoption would not have. Gone
[1:06:29]
through the appropriate
[1:06:31]
advertising period for 28
[1:06:33]
days. So once you make a
[1:06:35]
change, too, what has been
[1:06:35]
advertised that has to come
[1:06:38]
back and be re advertised for
[1:06:42]
another. 28, the period So
[1:06:43]
this policy. But whatever the
[1:06:45]
was on, what we approved on
[1:06:47]
Tuesday. But you're not going
[1:06:50]
to taking up this policy.
[1:06:51]
>> You know, I think that that
[1:06:53]
all were taken home. See
[1:06:54]
section. Just whatever number
[1:06:55]
this is will not be on the
[1:06:58]
next voting agenda. A pair of
[1:06:59]
catch very no intent to amend
[1:07:05]
letter. Have one of these that
[1:07:05]
at the whole nother. Talk
[1:07:10]
about budget that note. Leave
[1:07:18]
it. Another 2 So thank I do. I
[1:07:19]
don't have any other questions
[1:07:20]
with the next policies either.
[1:07:24]
But go ahead and okay. All
[1:07:25]
joke to a woman. That's even
[1:07:26]
that's right. Thank. Thank
[1:07:28]
you. MISTER Chair to the next
[1:07:28]
policy is a new
[1:07:32]
>> Name image and likeness I l
[1:07:34]
as we've heard it and
[1:07:35]
athletics, this is a new
[1:07:36]
policy. It it.
[1:07:41]
>> It's almost word for word
[1:07:43]
>> coming straight from the
[1:07:43]
Florida High School Athletics
[1:07:46]
association's bylaws. So this
[1:07:47]
is a way to just give us like
[1:07:50]
it. You know, some some
[1:07:52]
guidelines when it comes to
[1:07:53]
eye out again, nearing almost
[1:07:56]
word for word what public
[1:07:57]
schools follow, which is the
[1:08:00]
Florida. High School Athletic
[1:08:02]
Association. So that's that.
[1:08:08]
Policy. There. Next one, it's
[1:08:10]
a revision to 443-0003,
[1:08:16]
sick-leave and that is the
[1:08:19]
strike section. That for a
[1:08:23]
section, see if that policy
[1:08:28]
and in sick leave policy. And
[1:08:35]
addition okay. Yeah. Read
[1:08:36]
that.
[1:08:37]
>> MR. Salmond. Is that where
[1:08:37]
a fine question conference of
[1:08:39]
feedback on this one to which
[1:08:43]
class employees does this?
[1:08:44]
Redaction apply? It's not a
[1:08:47]
blanket of all employees. It's
[1:08:48]
specific are right on that,
[1:08:49]
Leon. Either MR. Dyer, Dr
[1:08:51]
Weiss, an answer that
[1:08:52]
specifically. So I so that
[1:08:53]
it's correct in the in the
[1:08:58]
>> The two-year Ian, sir. So
[1:09:02]
this provision is policy. It's
[1:09:03]
a it's a strike from the
[1:09:06]
policy which means it would
[1:09:11]
apply to all employees unless.
[1:09:11]
There is additional language
[1:09:12]
in the collective bargaining
[1:09:16]
agreement. We have one.
[1:09:22]
Employee group. Where? There
[1:09:23]
is language similar to this in
[1:09:29]
that contract. And so. That
[1:09:30]
provision would survive this
[1:09:33]
change in board policy,
[1:09:34]
although that is one of the
[1:09:35]
issues that we are. It All
[1:09:42]
right. Thank you, Frank.
[1:09:43]
>> And vote.
[1:09:46]
>> I do have one one thing on
[1:09:54]
on this policy in that and if
[1:09:57]
I'm understanding this
[1:09:59]
correctly, this is as
[1:10:00]
professionals in our lean on
[1:10:03]
bargaining employees so who
[1:10:10]
all does that encompass? Is
[1:10:11]
that absolute everybody except
[1:10:16]
for bargaining units. So
[1:10:17]
principles. Correct? Okay. All
[1:10:21]
right. So unity. I want to
[1:10:23]
make sure I had it in my head
[1:10:25]
correctly. So my question is
[1:10:26]
this why when we talk about
[1:10:35]
family? It says, let's with
[1:10:35]
sharing sharing family. Take
[1:10:41]
see. Consumption, which line
[1:10:42]
I'm looking for here. This
[1:10:45]
just I think Section 3 is that
[1:10:45]
we're talking about and my is
[1:10:51]
that's safe you want screw
[1:10:52]
employee MAY authorize
[1:10:52]
transfer accrued sick leave to
[1:10:53]
his or her spouse, child
[1:10:54]
parent or sibling, who is also
[1:10:58]
a district employee what about
[1:11:02]
child in law?
[1:11:03]
>> Yeah, I don't know the
[1:11:07]
answer to I would think that
[1:11:08]
that should because it also
[1:11:08]
affects your child. I would
[1:11:09]
think that should also be
[1:11:09]
relevant.
[1:11:11]
>> And should be added
[1:11:12]
>> And maybe that's something
[1:11:15]
I can get back to you on one
[1:11:19]
site can confer with hr. The
[1:11:21]
is that we for it and I
[1:11:22]
understand what you're asking
[1:11:23]
because it says child and
[1:11:27]
you're asking for. Right
[1:11:27]
because it also affects the
[1:11:30]
child. You know, if it's your
[1:11:32]
your son in law, had a
[1:11:34]
terrible accident. And that's
[1:11:35]
going to affect your own
[1:11:38]
child. Yeah. Well, I did not
[1:11:39]
take things. Probably check
[1:11:42]
the the law with our council
[1:11:44]
and also to chief with hr.
[1:11:45]
Yes, I would like some
[1:11:47]
clarification on that.
[1:11:50]
Absolutely. So again, if we
[1:11:51]
change this now we'll have to
[1:11:55]
pull it and bring it back. No,
[1:12:00]
I think it's not necessary to
[1:12:02]
>> There's a dozen teams, the
[1:12:02]
stage probably answer to this
[1:12:06]
is felt his question. Just
[1:12:06]
don't.
[1:12:07]
>> Don't know because I would
[1:12:08]
like to see that incorporated.
[1:12:13]
Okay. I will circle back with
[1:12:15]
clear from there's occasion. I
[1:12:15]
think that would qualify
[1:12:16]
something that's just
[1:12:17]
clerical.
[1:12:19]
>> Okay. Clarification to
[1:12:21]
something. It's already been
[1:12:22]
advertised, not a substantial
[1:12:25]
material alteration in what's
[1:12:25]
advertised.
[1:12:26]
>> mean, don't know about the
[1:12:27]
rest of the board, but I would
[1:12:29]
like to see that included. I
[1:12:30]
see that as a significant
[1:12:33]
impacts to person's child. So
[1:12:37]
I feel like that should be.
[1:12:40]
>> I ok, I will get those
[1:12:41]
answers to it. And then see
[1:12:43]
where that takes us when it
[1:12:45]
comes to potentially adding
[1:12:46]
his boss or not. It is
[1:12:46]
possible maybe administrative
[1:12:49]
thing that We'll get back All
[1:12:50]
right. Appreciate that. Thank
[1:12:55]
you. That was it. It's still
[1:12:58]
more tax policy, MR. Chair. Is
[1:13:01]
75 40 107. Something that's
[1:13:03]
new word in all of our Guess a
[1:13:05]
new policy artificial
[1:13:08]
intelligence ai somewhat of a
[1:13:12]
simple policy for now until
[1:13:13]
technology keeps changing. You
[1:13:15]
know, we don't school
[1:13:19]
districts have up kind of a
[1:13:19]
roadmap guideline for this. So
[1:13:21]
this is kind of a simple road
[1:13:26]
map for both student and staff
[1:13:28]
work with with with what how
[1:13:29]
the technology world is
[1:13:33]
changing with a iso no
[1:13:37]
comment. Okay. All right.
[1:13:38]
Thank Next one is a 84 o
[1:13:39]
Five's something some you
[1:13:42]
know, we keep policy probably
[1:13:44]
up every time we do policy
[1:13:48]
revision. But that's okay. And
[1:13:49]
really this is a simple you'll
[1:13:52]
see it in Green, simple at its
[1:13:55]
adding some some dates is that
[1:13:55]
either the state Board of
[1:13:56]
Education or the legislature
[1:14:01]
changes man dates and dates.
[1:14:04]
Also the instrument that used
[1:14:09]
to. To do threat management
[1:14:10]
that name official name
[1:14:14]
change. So at the at the
[1:14:14]
official name, the Florida
[1:14:15]
harm Prevention threat
[1:14:18]
management very minor changes
[1:14:21]
to that policy. And then the
[1:14:27]
last one policy, 87 10 our own
[1:14:31]
revisions to make sure that
[1:14:32]
not only the director of risk
[1:14:34]
management, also the general
[1:14:35]
counsel can can settle can
[1:14:37]
make settlements and then made
[1:14:42]
sure we add Updated. The
[1:14:47]
dollar amounts that are also
[1:14:48]
neared in our purchasing
[1:14:49]
policy as well. So essentially
[1:14:55]
you're giving the same dollar
[1:14:57]
amount that are consistent in
[1:14:59]
the purchasing policy along
[1:15:01]
with the settlement policy. So
[1:15:05]
so those are consistent. Thank
[1:15:11]
you. So that's question Kevin,
[1:15:12]
the going to take you back one
[1:15:14]
policy up about the threat
[1:15:15]
assessment tool. If you could
[1:15:15]
look at the very end of that.
[1:15:21]
>> Block.
[1:15:22]
>> The
[1:15:23]
>> letter g is in Georgia
[1:15:25]
Office of Safe Schools
[1:15:26]
Reporting, right. And the last
[1:15:26]
highlights and says the
[1:15:27]
initial reporting period for
[1:15:29]
the Florida model instrument
[1:15:33]
from JANUARY one to MAY. 31.
[1:15:35]
Is the Florida model
[1:15:36]
instrument different than the
[1:15:37]
Florida harm prevention and
[1:15:38]
threat management instrument.
[1:15:41]
Now, that's a good that's a
[1:15:42]
good catch. All add the full
[1:15:43]
name to that. Okay. So that
[1:15:44]
it's says Florida harm.
[1:15:46]
Prevention of Threat
[1:15:48]
Management Inc.
[1:15:49]
>> think we were trying to
[1:15:51]
save space. But you're
[1:15:52]
technical reasons we should at
[1:16:00]
the fully the Thank you.
[1:16:01]
>> I don't see any other board
[1:16:02]
members of Thank you very
[1:16:04]
much. Happened on those
[1:16:08]
policies. We'll take a 5
[1:16:09]
minute recess. Get everybody

>> Yeah, I think does. Senate
[1:16:34]
committee will come by the
[1:16:36]
city committee hearing.
[1:16:42]
>> get a visual for yeah. This
[1:16:43]
where MR. Barton, when you
[1:16:44]
need him for a little take a
[1:16:47]
picture Facebook picture. All
[1:16:48]
right. We're going to hire
[1:16:50]
today in the agenda, which is
[1:16:52]
policy, 51, 20 dot o 2. We're
[1:16:55]
going to look at. Stewart is
[1:17:00]
report on it and review of the
[1:17:00]
attendance zones they got into
[1:17:01]
the sport of the process as we
[1:17:05]
go forward, why did this date
[1:17:05]
for someone start off. Thank
[1:17:06]
you all for put all this
[1:17:11]
together. Lot of stuff in here
[1:17:15]
so why All I'm going
[1:17:16]
>> Thank you, CHAIRMAN. And
[1:17:21]
good morning. We're Reverend
[1:17:22]
flight here. I definitely
[1:17:22]
unseen one and only MISTER
[1:17:25]
Clerk we'll see how long this
[1:17:30]
like First of CHAIRMAN, I want
[1:17:30]
to emphasize because this will
[1:17:33]
be a long presentation.
[1:17:36]
Nothing that we are talking
[1:17:40]
about today impacts the 2025
[1:17:41]
26 school year. And I just
[1:17:44]
want to make that clear for
[1:17:45]
the public.
[1:17:48]
>> we're not making or are
[1:17:49]
talking ability changes to
[1:17:51]
attendance zones that impact
[1:17:51]
the next school year. We're
[1:17:55]
getting a start. 4,
[1:17:59]
potentially 2026 27 because
[1:18:00]
this is obviously and issue
[1:18:02]
that is going to draw a lot of
[1:18:04]
attention sometimes a lot of
[1:18:06]
emotion. And so I just want to
[1:18:07]
make it clear that nothing
[1:18:09]
we're doing nothing. We're
[1:18:10]
talking about impacts this
[1:18:11]
coming AUGUST. We are starting
[1:18:16]
early. To really focus on what
[1:18:17]
our district looks like in in
[1:18:23]
AUGUST 2026. And so the
[1:18:24]
purpose is to present the
[1:18:27]
results of a periodic review.
[1:18:29]
That is required in board
[1:18:34]
policy. 5, 1, 2, 0, 0, 2,
[1:18:35]
again, board members. I know
[1:18:35]
that, you know this already,
[1:18:37]
but for the benefit of the
[1:18:40]
public, this is step one in
[1:18:42]
potentially a very long
[1:18:46]
process. No decisions are
[1:18:46]
getting made We're not we're
[1:18:49]
not asking for.
[1:18:54]
>> a ton of board discussion
[1:18:54]
on.
[1:18:56]
>> He decision points today.
[1:18:57]
We're presenting the results
[1:18:59]
of a review.
[1:19:00]
>> And I'm sharing a
[1:19:01]
recommendation that I'm going
[1:19:02]
to be bringing to the next
[1:19:05]
board meeting board members.
[1:19:08]
You have slides in front of
[1:19:10]
you along with Watson, lots of
[1:19:12]
data. We're going to take
[1:19:15]
questions slide by slide on
[1:19:15]
this presentation. And then
[1:19:16]
obviously we can do around of
[1:19:21]
questions at the end and
[1:19:21]
although board, we want to be
[1:19:23]
sure we answer all of your
[1:19:24]
questions. You MAY ask some
[1:19:25]
things that we're going to
[1:19:28]
cover at a later point in the
[1:19:32]
presentation. And so if we if
[1:19:33]
we defer a question until
[1:19:36]
later in the workshop that
[1:19:38]
that's not out of disrespect
[1:19:39]
to your question, it's just
[1:19:41]
that you need additional data
[1:19:42]
or information so that we can
[1:19:46]
fully answer that question. I
[1:19:47]
believe that as we go through
[1:19:52]
this presentation, you'll have
[1:19:52]
additional requests where will
[1:19:54]
all be taking notes to be sure
[1:19:55]
we get those right. I do think
[1:19:57]
that as we go through what
[1:20:00]
could be monthslong process,
[1:20:04]
there's always the risk of so
[1:20:08]
much so much data that we end
[1:20:10]
up kind of in analysis,
[1:20:13]
paralysis situations. So I
[1:20:14]
think what would be hopeful
[1:20:18]
for my team is as we go
[1:20:20]
through the workshop, you have
[1:20:21]
additional data you want to
[1:20:23]
let's be sure we ask it in
[1:20:26]
here for a future meetings or
[1:20:27]
workshops because I'm a little
[1:20:28]
concerned that as we go
[1:20:28]
through this process again,
[1:20:30]
one of our risks is that
[1:20:31]
individually, you MAY be you
[1:20:38]
MAY be asking for data that
[1:20:40]
collectively becomes too much
[1:20:41]
volume for this team to
[1:20:41]
handle. We're not hiring
[1:20:45]
additional staff to do this.
[1:20:45]
I'm not bringing in an
[1:20:46]
external consultant that
[1:20:48]
doesn't know our community.
[1:20:52]
We're going to take this on
[1:20:52]
ourselves. But, you know, but
[1:20:57]
we do have to kind of manage
[1:21:02]
workflows this slide deck was
[1:21:05]
posted online. Right now it's
[1:21:07]
under the board agenda We will
[1:21:10]
end up a likely putting it on
[1:21:13]
were on a on a more kind of.
[1:21:17]
Some truly publicly facing
[1:21:20]
page. It's obviously a very
[1:21:21]
heavy slide deck. And this is
[1:21:22]
a kind of a preview of the
[1:21:24]
approach that the team and I
[1:21:25]
are going to be using. We're
[1:21:27]
going to be as transparent as
[1:21:30]
possible. But we're also going
[1:21:31]
to be debated, drew than in
[1:21:32]
the recommendations that we
[1:21:34]
make in the decisions that we
[1:21:38]
ask you to meet and then, of
[1:21:39]
as we go through this process,
[1:21:41]
I think people will see there
[1:21:42]
will ample opportunity for
[1:21:45]
public input. And in fact, one
[1:21:45]
of the tools that we're going
[1:21:49]
to be using is going allow
[1:21:50]
members of the public to give
[1:21:55]
us input. 24 7 and so will
[1:21:56]
always have public comment at
[1:21:58]
board meetings and workshops
[1:21:59]
where we're going to need a
[1:22:00]
lot of public input to make
[1:22:02]
sure we get all of this right.
[1:22:07]
And so again, they'll be lots
[1:22:09]
of opportunity parents,
[1:22:10]
community members. I'm sure
[1:22:11]
we'll even hear firms from
[1:22:12]
some students You all know
[1:22:16]
that. I love that. So but
[1:22:19]
again, just to stress for
[1:22:19]
those that we're either
[1:22:21]
watching live. Watch us later.
[1:22:21]
Nothing that we're going to
[1:22:25]
ultimately ask for effects
[1:22:26]
boundaries or school
[1:22:29]
assignments for the 25 26
[1:22:29]
school year. We're. We're
[1:22:30]
locked in with our plans.
[1:22:34]
There. As you can see, you're
[1:22:36]
going to be hearing from a
[1:22:40]
total of 7 members of the
[1:22:44]
team. Will be in some ways the
[1:22:47]
core group that works on these
[1:22:48]
issues. But I also want to
[1:22:50]
stress board members there.
[1:22:50]
Lots of other people that are
[1:22:52]
going to be supporting this
[1:22:56]
work. So in advance. Thank you
[1:22:57]
to all the clerical support
[1:22:59]
for all of the people at this
[1:23:01]
panel because all of our
[1:23:02]
assistance or we're going to
[1:23:03]
be very busy with this
[1:23:04]
process. But there's lots of
[1:23:08]
other staff that helped to put
[1:23:09]
today's presentation together.
[1:23:10]
And then obviously that will
[1:23:11]
be involved in the process
[1:23:18]
moving forward. We're going to
[1:23:22]
cover these topics today and
[1:23:22]
obviously will we need to stop
[1:23:24]
with the chair is ready to
[1:23:25]
take a lunch break. We'll see
[1:23:30]
how far we get after topic for
[1:23:34]
If we can get that for is
[1:23:35]
probably a good natural break
[1:23:37]
in the process because topic
[1:23:39]
for his data heavy and then
[1:23:39]
topic 5 is data heavy. And so
[1:23:43]
that might be a good place for
[1:23:43]
you all to pause, but
[1:23:44]
certainly will will do
[1:23:48]
whatever the board wishes and
[1:23:49]
they'll be they'll be a
[1:23:51]
presenter on each of these
[1:23:52]
topics. The initials are
[1:23:55]
there. That's to help you in
[1:23:56]
case you, you know, have
[1:23:59]
follow up questions were need
[1:24:02]
to think back on this? And of
[1:24:04]
course, we're sitting as a
[1:24:05]
panel because we'll all jumped
[1:24:05]
in to answer your questions as
[1:24:14]
needed. Right? So we're going
[1:24:17]
to start with an overview of
[1:24:21]
policy. 5, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0,
[1:24:24]
shoe. As a reminder to the
[1:24:26]
public old word policies are
[1:24:28]
publicly available online. And
[1:24:31]
there is a Web link from this
[1:24:31]
presentation to the board docs
[1:24:33]
sight to see all current board
[1:24:38]
policies. 5, 1, 2, 0, 0, 2, is
[1:24:39]
a policy that will probably
[1:24:40]
will have memorized by the
[1:24:43]
time we're done with this
[1:24:44]
process. Is titled The
[1:24:45]
Rezoning of Designated
[1:24:49]
Residential Attendance Zones.
[1:24:53]
We last updated this policy in
[1:24:54]
OCTOBER of 2024 previously, it
[1:24:58]
was simply call policy 5, 1,
[1:25:00]
to 0. And it was it was a
[1:25:00]
lengthy policy, a little bit
[1:25:03]
cumbersome to navigate. And so
[1:25:08]
we broke it into 4 sub
[1:25:11]
policies dot '01, covers the
[1:25:12]
enrollment requirements of the
[1:25:18]
district for students entering
[1:25:22]
our public schools dot 0,
[1:25:27]
covers processes along with
[1:25:31]
some 3 and then the last
[1:25:35]
policy cover school choice
[1:25:40]
ultimately this policy.
[1:25:45]
Includes all of the processes
[1:25:46]
related to how attendance
[1:25:47]
zones are reviewed and then
[1:25:49]
the rules that are in play
[1:25:52]
when enter re zoning. This is
[1:25:55]
a different process. Then what
[1:25:55]
the school district to use
[1:25:57]
several years ago, the last
[1:26:00]
time there was a major
[1:26:02]
rezoning, the key to the
[1:26:03]
process is that we have this
[1:26:05]
report. And then if the board
[1:26:07]
authorizes the initiation of
[1:26:10]
the revision process. Then we
[1:26:11]
go through all of those
[1:26:14]
procedures. And so we're not
[1:26:14]
gonna go through the whole
[1:26:16]
policy today. Again, today is
[1:26:17]
step one. It's really the
[1:26:21]
report to the board. So
[1:26:26]
working from 5, 1, 2, 0, 0, 2,
[1:26:27]
in this light is taken
[1:26:30]
directly from the policy. The
[1:26:32]
policy says that the board MAY
[1:26:35]
consider revisions to
[1:26:35]
residential attendance zones
[1:26:39]
for for reasons. Reason. One
[1:26:41]
is if we have construction of
[1:26:42]
a new school or additional
[1:26:44]
capacity of the existing
[1:26:48]
school, we have many of those
[1:26:49]
projects under way and you're
[1:26:51]
going to be getting a
[1:26:52]
construction update for MISTER
[1:26:54]
Gough here. And if you missed
[1:26:57]
few minutes item, number 2, is
[1:26:58]
losing or suspension of
[1:27:01]
operations at an existing
[1:27:04]
school. That is not a topic
[1:27:08]
that this meaning the staff
[1:27:09]
has explored. But obviously as
[1:27:11]
we go through the process, if
[1:27:12]
the board wants to talk about
[1:27:15]
that based on the data, it cam
[1:27:18]
reason number 3 is
[1:27:19]
significant. Overcapacity or
[1:27:21]
under capacity individual
[1:27:22]
schools that cannot be
[1:27:23]
resolved through other
[1:27:27]
provisions of board policy we
[1:27:28]
do believe that we have both
[1:27:30]
significant over capacity and
[1:27:34]
some under capacity that
[1:27:35]
cannot be result through other
[1:27:38]
policies. And we'll talk about
[1:27:39]
that today. And then finally
[1:27:40]
in anticipated student
[1:27:45]
population growth or decline.
[1:27:47]
Certainly we are going to
[1:27:51]
population growth environment.
[1:27:52]
Both is a community. And as a
[1:27:53]
school district board members,
[1:27:54]
I sent you an article last
[1:27:55]
month, the analysis that was
[1:27:58]
done that shows that when you
[1:27:59]
look at overall public school
[1:28:02]
enrollment said district
[1:28:04]
operated and charter operated.
[1:28:05]
We are now the 70th largest
[1:28:08]
school district in the United
[1:28:11]
States. And among that 100
[1:28:13]
largest school districts about
[1:28:14]
3 quarters of them are in
[1:28:17]
declining enrollment
[1:28:19]
situations. But we are among
[1:28:22]
the smaller group of districts
[1:28:23]
where there's actually been
[1:28:26]
enrollment increases over the
[1:28:31]
last 5 years. We certainly
[1:28:33]
have not that kind of a 4th
[1:28:35]
reason for starting the
[1:28:37]
process. And so our policy
[1:28:40]
goes on to say that it my
[1:28:42]
responsibility in this team's
[1:28:43]
responsibility to periodically
[1:28:44]
review enrollment facility
[1:28:46]
utilization and projected
[1:28:51]
growth to ascertain whether
[1:28:52]
new attendance zones are
[1:28:56]
needed or or or revisions to
[1:28:57]
existing zones and that if the
[1:28:59]
results of that review
[1:29:03]
indicated need for revision or
[1:29:04]
for new zones, that it's my
[1:29:05]
responsibility to recommend to
[1:29:06]
the board. The initiation of
[1:29:09]
the revision process. And if I
[1:29:13]
bring that recommendation, it
[1:29:16]
must come with a timeline and
[1:29:16]
a communication So we'll talk
[1:29:19]
more about that at the end of
[1:29:19]
the presentation. But that's
[1:29:20]
the perimeters of today's
[1:29:27]
review. So if you're if there
[1:29:29]
are no questions I'm going to
[1:29:30]
turn it over to MISTER Jensen
[1:29:31]
and he's Could just give you
[1:29:32]
an update on current district
[1:29:38]
and One morning as Doctor
[1:29:40]
Weissman alluded many of the
[1:29:40]
slides in the presentation
[1:29:42]
contain a significant amount
[1:29:43]
of
[1:29:48]
>> And in order in order to
[1:29:49]
provide a clear portrait. We
[1:29:51]
really needed to identify a
[1:29:52]
point of time in which we're
[1:29:53]
going to capture data, right?
[1:29:54]
Because we gain and lose
[1:29:57]
enrollment on a daily basis.
[1:29:59]
And so we needed to identify a
[1:30:01]
specific date by which we're
[1:30:02]
going to construct construct
[1:30:03]
all of the data throughout
[1:30:04]
this presentation for you in
[1:30:06]
kind of anchor that. So this
[1:30:06]
slide shows you that the date
[1:30:10]
we selected was our survey to
[1:30:11]
submission that occurred a
[1:30:13]
knot on OCTOBER 10th. We
[1:30:14]
selected the state because
[1:30:15]
that's a critical point in
[1:30:18]
fall where we submit to the
[1:30:19]
state that has funding
[1:30:22]
implications for the district.
[1:30:23]
We could have considered
[1:30:24]
selecting the survey 3
[1:30:27]
submission, but we have yet to
[1:30:27]
receive the 3rd count from the
[1:30:30]
state on that every year it's
[1:30:31]
been getting later. And later
[1:30:32]
we received that count, as you
[1:30:35]
can see in 2023 receives on
[1:30:35]
JANUARY, 17th, the following
[1:30:39]
year in JANUARY, 23rd and as
[1:30:41]
of this week, we still have
[1:30:43]
not received 3rd cap that yet.
[1:30:46]
So we thought that the survey
[1:30:48]
to date was the perfect date
[1:30:49]
that would allow us to kind of
[1:30:50]
anchor all of this data for
[1:30:51]
you in pain, a consistent
[1:30:52]
portrait throughout the
[1:30:54]
presentation. So in the next
[1:30:58]
slide, you see we've broken
[1:30:59]
out at data for you. And this
[1:30:59]
is the set of numbers will be
[1:31:02]
operating from throughout the
[1:31:04]
presentation in the District
[1:31:06]
on a survey to we 10th out our
[1:31:09]
story. 41,700 55 students
[1:31:13]
spreading the up quantities
[1:31:14]
above that total number
[1:31:15]
throughout elementary, middle
[1:31:18]
high and our special centers.
[1:31:19]
A quick question. Real quick.
[1:31:21]
Yes, or of a different just I
[1:31:25]
just want visit, including
[1:31:26]
charter what that have been
[1:31:29]
just at a graph. I don't have
[1:31:30]
that exact number for you, but
[1:31:33]
it's going to be in the 55. 50
[1:31:35]
said yeah. 54 somewhere in
[1:31:36]
that range.
[1:31:37]
>> you're you're going to be a
[1:31:41]
you're going to be at.
[1:31:42]
>> 10 to 11,000 more for the
[1:31:42]
charters and then the
[1:31:45]
additional count is the
[1:31:48]
Florida power scholarships.
[1:31:49]
>> Oh, they MAY. They be to
[1:31:50]
prep school make that not
[1:31:51]
charged. But just in general,
[1:31:54]
okay. As I have feeling power
[1:31:58]
and sort, that's actually a
[1:31:58]
great segue into our next
[1:32:02]
slide because
[1:32:04]
>> The the annual kind of
[1:32:05]
budgetary process and
[1:32:06]
forecasting enrollment, you
[1:32:08]
know, really begins at this
[1:32:10]
point. The years week, get 3rd
[1:32:12]
count and then we start
[1:32:15]
selecting a state model our
[1:32:17]
enrollment projections for the
[1:32:20]
upcoming year and the the
[1:32:24]
challenge with forecasting our
[1:32:24]
enrollment on a year-on-year
[1:32:25]
basis right constructing a
[1:32:27]
budget staffing schools. Is
[1:32:31]
that? If we look at kind of
[1:32:31]
this prior year's forecast in
[1:32:36]
data. Our enrollment as we
[1:32:38]
captured and serve it to us.
[1:32:40]
41,755. But if you take kind
[1:32:41]
of the total number of
[1:32:43]
students in the district
[1:32:45]
right, and then you back out
[1:32:47]
with charter schools report.
[1:32:47]
Their enrollment is going to
[1:32:48]
be because that's a self
[1:32:49]
reported projection from the
[1:32:50]
charter schools. And then you
[1:32:54]
back out what the state
[1:32:55]
anticipates voucher program
[1:32:56]
participation is going to be
[1:32:59]
you end up with. In the case
[1:33:01]
of the prior year, a number
[1:33:05]
like 39,300. And 44, so if the
[1:33:05]
state over estimates about
[1:33:06]
your per space, you're the
[1:33:09]
charter schools over estimate
[1:33:09]
the number of students that
[1:33:12]
will be enrolled. Those sites.
[1:33:15]
We could end up with a
[1:33:16]
significantly lower district
[1:33:16]
projection. If we take those
[1:33:20]
numbers at face value. And so
[1:33:20]
we have to do our own own
[1:33:23]
projection make sure we staff
[1:33:25]
appropriately into what we
[1:33:26]
think the number of students
[1:33:27]
who are walking on the first
[1:33:30]
day of school are that's part
[1:33:34]
of the art and science of that
[1:33:34]
annual staffing and
[1:33:36]
forecasting model. So you can
[1:33:40]
see like in this prior year.
[1:33:40]
We staffed significantly
[1:33:43]
higher than that. 39,000
[1:33:44]
projection. And we even
[1:33:45]
exceeded that. And role by the
[1:33:49]
time we're it survey We do
[1:33:51]
have a question on the site.
[1:33:54]
>> Expect wrecked just quick.
[1:33:56]
A lot of numbers. Lot of gaps
[1:34:02]
in the numbers to you say that
[1:34:02]
41 at the very first line. 41
[1:34:10]
7.55 Exceeded net forecast. 39
[1:34:13]
3.44, so we forecasted and my
[1:34:14]
understanding.
[1:34:16]
>> Okay. We didn't forecast.
[1:34:18]
So if you if you look at the
[1:34:18]
Theresa Bullets. All right.
[1:34:26]
We're the first bullet. The
[1:34:27]
56,470 total students is from
[1:34:29]
the Legislature's conference
[1:34:33]
report. Last MARCH. Okay.
[1:34:35]
That's the that's the number
[1:34:39]
that there forecasting. We'll
[1:34:42]
be in our district schools.
[1:34:43]
Plus, charter schools. Plus
[1:34:48]
the voucher program. Okay. The
[1:34:50]
conference report also tells
[1:34:53]
us of that. 56 for 70, the
[1:34:54]
state's forecast of how many
[1:34:58]
vouchers will be issued. Each
[1:34:58]
charter school gives us their
[1:35:02]
projected enrollment. And so
[1:35:07]
the point is that. If all of
[1:35:09]
the charter schools make their
[1:35:12]
projected enrollment you use
[1:35:15]
the state's estimated now
[1:35:19]
numbers and you back then out,
[1:35:22]
we should have been at 39,344
[1:35:26]
students. Okay. But in our
[1:35:28]
district operated schools, the
[1:35:29]
actual number of students in
[1:35:34]
seats on OCTOBER was 41,755.
[1:35:35]
So there's a so there's a
[1:35:36]
pretty significant Delta there
[1:35:43]
right? The key is that at some
[1:35:44]
point we have to make a
[1:35:44]
decision about what we think
[1:35:46]
the number is going to be for
[1:35:48]
staffing. Wright and staffing
[1:35:52]
is our is our highest expense.
[1:35:53]
So what if we got our staffing
[1:35:55]
wrong? It has a significant
[1:35:57]
impact. And so we're we kind
[1:35:58]
of landed last year when it
[1:36:01]
was time to make staffing
[1:36:04]
decisions. Was we felt like
[1:36:07]
the 39 3.44 Was too low. So we
[1:36:08]
staffed or schools at 40,009
[1:36:15]
50, okay. Right. And then we
[1:36:17]
actually ended up by OCTOBER
[1:36:20]
10th that 41 7.55, and again,
[1:36:22]
we scheduled this presuming
[1:36:25]
that we would have that
[1:36:25]
calculation. 3 report back
[1:36:27]
from deo we by now as of this
[1:36:28]
morning, we still don't have
[1:36:32]
it. That calculation report is
[1:36:34]
important because that those
[1:36:35]
numbers square up our budget
[1:36:40]
from the fall. Oh, yeah. And
[1:36:43]
it's the first step in our
[1:36:43]
forecast for next year. And
[1:36:46]
then our forecast starts this
[1:36:48]
whole process. So it's it's
[1:36:51]
it's FEBRUARY 14th. And I
[1:36:51]
can't begin that process
[1:36:52]
without that calculation
[1:36:57]
report. So even today. We
[1:36:57]
can't square all of these
[1:37:02]
numbers up for you. But we can
[1:37:05]
tell you for purposes of a
[1:37:05]
rezoning analysis where we
[1:37:09]
were at on OCTOBER 10th. But
[1:37:10]
this is the reason why all of
[1:37:15]
this is important is. It is
[1:37:16]
it's all forecast, right?
[1:37:19]
Right. And so nothing we do is
[1:37:24]
ever going to be perfect. And
[1:37:26]
in a in as more school choice
[1:37:27]
options rollout is families
[1:37:28]
have more choices. Our
[1:37:31]
modeling gets no easier. And
[1:37:34]
so that we just have to go win
[1:37:36]
the as MR. Jensen said at some
[1:37:36]
point, you've got to pick a
[1:37:40]
date. Reuse the numbers and we
[1:37:41]
all know where schools
[1:37:43]
together every day that on
[1:37:46]
October 10th, there were 41
[1:37:47]
7.55 By OCTOBER 13. That
[1:37:50]
number has changed because we
[1:37:51]
have kids entering and
[1:37:52]
withdrawing every day for but
[1:37:53]
for purposes of this analysis,
[1:37:56]
that's the snapshot. But I
[1:37:56]
think all this other stuff is
[1:38:04]
just showing you that there is
[1:38:06]
a spore casting their analysis
[1:38:08]
and then it gets down to
[1:38:10]
confidence, in fact, data and
[1:38:12]
what adjustments you're going
[1:38:13]
to make. Because had we made a
[1:38:17]
decision to staff at 39 3.44,
[1:38:17]
or even sure we would have
[1:38:18]
huge class sizes, right?
[1:38:22]
Right. Right. But 40,009 50,
[1:38:24]
if we had been wrong and we
[1:38:27]
had come in at 39 3.44, we
[1:38:28]
would be deficit spending,
[1:38:32]
which is and that goes to. The
[1:38:32]
finance and the budget part.
[1:38:34]
That's why you have to have a
[1:38:35]
fund balance so that you have
[1:38:42]
cushion. For that variance.
[1:38:43]
And that was the reason I
[1:38:45]
asked the question.
[1:38:46]
>> I understand it to a
[1:38:52]
degree. But the public. You
[1:38:53]
know, understanding forecast
[1:38:58]
thing. We just got to kind go
[1:38:59]
on what data that you have in
[1:39:01]
front of you at the time. If
[1:39:04]
you don't have that to analyze
[1:39:08]
and dissect. And that's what
[1:39:10]
it is is basically dissecting
[1:39:14]
that how you're going to.
[1:39:16]
Project your your year. It all
[1:39:18]
comes down to what they give
[1:39:20]
us and what what we see in our
[1:39:24]
own communities. So perfect.
[1:39:25]
And that's going to be the
[1:39:26]
kind of where my questions are
[1:39:29]
going to go. I know a lot. But
[1:39:30]
I don't say don't take that
[1:39:32]
back. There's a lot. I don't
[1:39:35]
know. But there was a lot
[1:39:38]
more. The public doesn't know.
[1:39:41]
It's okay
[1:39:42]
>> So can you help me
[1:39:45]
understand? I assume that what
[1:39:47]
when we report data to the
[1:39:47]
Department of the year, we for
[1:39:48]
this calculation that they do
[1:39:51]
that information that we send
[1:39:53]
them. So why is it? There must
[1:39:57]
be some bureaucratic process
[1:39:59]
that we don't know what there
[1:39:59]
would be a minute. We sent
[1:40:01]
them the data when we come to
[1:40:02]
know what that is. But they
[1:40:06]
must do some magic up there
[1:40:08]
are some that. That's a great
[1:40:09]
question. And we we transmit
[1:40:16]
the data could be sent to us.
[1:40:16]
>> there
[1:40:17]
>> are a number of processes
[1:40:19]
that get run in rights,
[1:40:20]
including in some of this gets
[1:40:20]
into budget. And it's more
[1:40:24]
MISS Sellers will house but,
[1:40:25]
you every student has a
[1:40:28]
there's a program cost factor
[1:40:30]
based on what grade level
[1:40:30]
there in whether they're a
[1:40:31]
student with disabilities,
[1:40:35]
whether there are Speaker
[1:40:35]
Boehner languages. So they're
[1:40:37]
different program. Cost
[1:40:39]
factors and then the other
[1:40:41]
pieces that on fte in the
[1:40:44]
funding side he has
[1:40:46]
recalibrated. And so, for
[1:40:47]
example, if you're a high
[1:40:47]
school student, you take a
[1:40:50]
full set of classes with us.
[1:40:50]
But then you're taking an
[1:40:52]
extra class through Florida.
[1:40:55]
Virtual we're putting in our
[1:40:55]
funding, Florida, virtual
[1:40:58]
spitting in their funding.
[1:41:00]
That student gets recalibrated
[1:41:06]
back down to one fte. And so
[1:41:07]
in our minds, we're going to
[1:41:08]
get full funding for that
[1:41:10]
student. But actually, Florida
[1:41:11]
virtual staking a slice of
[1:41:14]
that pie right? So that's
[1:41:15]
another example. And then and
[1:41:17]
then another piece of this is
[1:41:19]
remember that the family
[1:41:20]
empowerment scholarships are
[1:41:25]
operating. Completely
[1:41:26]
completely separately. In
[1:41:27]
other words, to they don't
[1:41:28]
register with us that they go
[1:41:31]
through one of the scholarship
[1:41:32]
funding organizations. But
[1:41:35]
there can be multiple claims
[1:41:37]
on that student id number. And
[1:41:38]
so Tallahassee has to resolve
[1:41:40]
all of that. So yes, we we
[1:41:43]
send them what we think. And
[1:41:46]
then they send us back what
[1:41:47]
their database tells them.
[1:41:50]
Another example is in the in
[1:41:53]
the claim window in the full
[1:41:55]
you could have a student moved
[1:41:56]
from Sarasota County to
[1:41:58]
Manatee County right? And we
[1:42:00]
MAY both send that student's
[1:42:03]
id number. They're not going
[1:42:08]
to send one set of funding. To
[1:42:09]
one county, duplicate that
[1:42:12]
funding to another county,
[1:42:13]
right? So they double they
[1:42:13]
have to run all of that
[1:42:17]
through their systems to send
[1:42:18]
us back and say, ok, this is
[1:42:20]
how we result all of this. So
[1:42:23]
that's what we're waiting.
[1:42:26]
>> bullet number 2, so
[1:42:27]
district operator, Roland, a
[1:42:31]
as of MARCH. Take. This is
[1:42:32]
what we're operating on me to
[1:42:33]
buy up to today. Many students
[1:42:36]
are enrolled in our district
[1:42:39]
could button and say. I soon
[1:42:40]
as had a base for something,
[1:42:42]
how many it's So why are we
[1:42:44]
what? Why is it better to use
[1:42:46]
that of the 2 year-old and
[1:42:48]
just push the button today and
[1:42:56]
say they're actually 42,905
[1:42:56]
>> good question again, you
[1:42:59]
you have to pick a freeze
[1:43:02]
point we all we all use
[1:43:03]
different data pieces. But for
[1:43:06]
example, if we said run it
[1:43:07]
today, it's like we took a 10
[1:43:09]
minute recess and read
[1:43:11]
upstairs or in the report,
[1:43:13]
too. In the 10 minutes we're
[1:43:15]
running the report. Registrar
[1:43:16]
at a school MAY withdrawing
[1:43:20]
the trial right? A trial MAY
[1:43:21]
be moving between schools and
[1:43:24]
it depends on.
[1:43:28]
>> When that transaction hers,
[1:43:30]
the the other key behind the
[1:43:33]
freeze point if MISTER Reno,
[1:43:35]
the pulls data today for a
[1:43:37]
capacity analysis, MR. Jensen
[1:43:40]
pulls the data on Monday for a
[1:43:41]
staffing analysis. Now they're
[1:43:42]
coming to our meeting with 2
[1:43:46]
different data points. And so
[1:43:47]
that's why you want to kind of
[1:43:48]
pick one Friess point. And
[1:43:50]
keep in mind, we're making
[1:43:51]
this presentation today that
[1:43:52]
this team's been working on
[1:43:54]
this for months. So although
[1:43:55]
there's a different number
[1:44:00]
now, we've really been using
[1:44:01]
this 10, 10 24 data to put all
[1:44:03]
of this together. Doesn't make
[1:44:11]
sense it. Thank I the next
[1:44:14]
portion of the presentation
[1:44:14]
street office present a
[1:44:15]
construction update on active
[1:44:18]
projects.
[1:44:22]
>> Excuse me. Thank you, MR.
[1:44:23]
Jensen, Good Morning. Morning
[1:44:24]
opportunity to play give you
[1:44:25]
an opportunity speak about
[1:44:27]
what we're doing here.
[1:44:27]
>> Apartment construction
[1:44:31]
services. If you follow your
[1:44:32]
first light, I think this
[1:44:33]
barber, a Harvey, like to give
[1:44:33]
you an update where we are
[1:44:39]
with that one. The barber, a
[1:44:42]
Harvey new school construction
[1:44:43]
is a prototype up. Our Mona
[1:44:45]
Jane and I saw middle school
[1:44:47]
campuses. We have Harvard
[1:44:50]
Jolly who's the architect in
[1:44:51]
Smith was a construction
[1:44:52]
manager. Do an outstanding job
[1:44:53]
in this project. At the
[1:44:55]
moment. We currently have
[1:44:58]
about. 97% of the structure
[1:45:04]
completed. The site is 65%
[1:45:05]
complete. Our mechanical
[1:45:06]
electrical and plumbing
[1:45:07]
systems at a 50% completion
[1:45:10]
rate. We're getting ready to
[1:45:11]
go to permanent power in about
[1:45:14]
a week or so. And our 2 year
[1:45:15]
finishes right now about 35%
[1:45:17]
complete. So if I had to look
[1:45:19]
at the project holistically,
[1:45:21]
70% of the project is
[1:45:22]
currently complete. And we're
[1:45:23]
looking forward to meeting our
[1:45:27]
JULY 2025. Opening date. Very
[1:45:30]
excited about process of
[1:45:31]
construction is going on this
[1:45:32]
particular project. And it's
[1:45:33]
going to add another 1268
[1:45:38]
student stations. I for Don't
[1:45:38]
need to click Grande concert
[1:45:46]
coming to question.
[1:45:46]
>> You
[1:45:47]
>> can go ahead big tease.
[1:45:47]
Your boat people question.
[1:45:51]
Yeah, right. One thing that I
[1:46:01]
had the Dr about for Acreage
[1:46:03]
associated where these
[1:46:08]
projects. Like, for instance,
[1:46:12]
a slide. I don't know how many
[1:46:12]
acres.
[1:46:15]
>> This is a 30 acre site. Is
[1:46:17]
it on that I not on there, but
[1:46:20]
it's a 30 acre 38
[1:46:24]
>> And looking at the the
[1:46:25]
diagram, I see a lot of little
[1:46:28]
retention ponds and stuff like
[1:46:28]
that.
[1:46:29]
>> That's the traffic queuing
[1:46:30]
at traffic here. Is a
[1:46:38]
pedestrian traffic queuing?
[1:46:39]
Have other questions as go.
[1:46:41]
But that my biggest question.
[1:46:43]
How much?
[1:46:44]
>> And this is what wrote him.
[1:46:45]
I would like to know the
[1:46:46]
acreage associated with every
[1:46:50]
site. And what portion is not
[1:46:53]
being used in the design for
[1:46:53]
potential growth. I think
[1:46:57]
you'd be helpful with us with
[1:47:00]
future projects in the
[1:47:01]
district. Also ask about a
[1:47:03]
list of actual properties that
[1:47:05]
we currently own to include
[1:47:08]
bank lots or on utilized
[1:47:09]
portions again, I believe this
[1:47:09]
will be helpful information to
[1:47:13]
the board now.
[1:47:15]
>> can provide here on the
[1:47:16]
project here we identify
[1:47:17]
future growth for new building
[1:47:18]
and this particular
[1:47:19]
architectural design. We also
[1:47:21]
identified playing fields were
[1:47:23]
identified courts, basketball
[1:47:24]
and tennis. So we have a
[1:47:26]
pretty good overview of how
[1:47:27]
the acreage is being utilized
[1:47:29]
and we can make it necessary
[1:47:32]
adjustments if if necessary.
[1:47:33]
Identified pardon me how we're
[1:47:35]
going to use all of those 30
[1:47:39]
acres. Rick has site plan.
[1:47:40]
>> Wright restarted some of
[1:47:41]
project. The design. This one
[1:47:44]
started in 2022. And now we're
[1:47:48]
going to open probably. 25
[1:47:53]
you're saying
[1:47:53]
>> did we take in
[1:47:54]
consideration the massive
[1:47:57]
growth as we go on what I
[1:47:58]
worry about with all of there
[1:48:00]
were do just say there was
[1:48:03]
Remember, we have a pox. That
[1:48:08]
ready for the are right for
[1:48:10]
right Yeah. Got live with
[1:48:10]
that. Wasn't I get this when
[1:48:12]
we We've been dissipated.
[1:48:13]
Another two-story addition
[1:48:13]
which will be talking about
[1:48:15]
later in the
[1:48:19]
>> All I cement but should be
[1:48:21]
cleared. And that's exactly
[1:48:23]
what I was representing the
[1:48:24]
first like we will generate
[1:48:25]
whatever date of the board
[1:48:26]
once. I just want everybody to
[1:48:28]
be here so that we don't
[1:48:29]
>> have to do, you know,
[1:48:31]
fighter reach out to No that
[1:48:34]
soon. Vice you would like to
[1:48:37]
know on active in future
[1:48:39]
projects. How many acres we
[1:48:41]
have. And then I think I heard
[1:48:43]
you say how many acres are not
[1:48:47]
being year to last, right,
[1:48:48]
right. Keep keeping in mind. I
[1:48:48]
know you're saying that this
[1:48:51]
is a 30 acre acre lot.
[1:48:54]
>> So and you you're saying
[1:48:56]
that this site has a Bucs are
[1:48:58]
ready for future growth? Yes,
[1:49:04]
it Ok, so that does good. In
[1:49:07]
my We're worth thinking out of
[1:49:11]
the box even no pun intended
[1:49:12]
and investment. That's the
[1:49:13]
advantage of having the deputy
[1:49:15]
superintendent who's an
[1:49:16]
architect.
[1:49:18]
>> Having seen some of Mr, Run
[1:49:21]
all these pass projects even
[1:49:22]
before manatee. That's that's
[1:49:22]
what we support moving forward
[1:49:25]
is.
[1:49:29]
>> We MAY not need Now.
[1:49:31]
>> But what is the expansion
[1:49:32]
look like and got the right
[1:49:34]
kind of precip keys. Insisting
[1:49:38]
on that on these projects. Up
[1:49:38]
to.
[1:49:41]
>> 5 years beyond even I I 30
[1:49:45]
acre site. How much of that is
[1:49:47]
being used? Much is we're
[1:49:48]
going to have for future
[1:49:50]
growth other than I'm guessing
[1:49:53]
it was a 6 or a construction
[1:49:56]
for future. So it looks like
[1:49:59]
from this that we potential
[1:50:03]
even beyond that.
[1:50:05]
>> It exactly. But one of the
[1:50:07]
things you need to consider is
[1:50:08]
we are looking at additional
[1:50:12]
classroom space. But you're
[1:50:13]
kind of locked in one with
[1:50:15]
what we call that course.
[1:50:15]
Space dining. You don't want
[1:50:20]
to start. At 09:30am, in the
[1:50:23]
morning. If you get too large.
[1:50:24]
All right. From the standpoint
[1:50:26]
of safety and security, the
[1:50:26]
other common space or
[1:50:30]
corridors. And we want to make
[1:50:31]
sure that we don't have
[1:50:33]
congestion in the corridors as
[1:50:35]
well. Administration is
[1:50:38]
another point that we look at
[1:50:40]
just, you know, handling of
[1:50:41]
the guidance level in the
[1:50:43]
administration. So there are
[1:50:46]
some fix points, which are
[1:50:49]
those core components. But we
[1:50:50]
make sure when we're designing
[1:50:52]
and we're looking at growth
[1:50:54]
that we've increased the size
[1:50:58]
come we did moment. So
[1:50:59]
remember, we had that
[1:51:00]
conversation about what was
[1:51:04]
the core size been a So we go
[1:51:05]
through that process to make
[1:51:09]
sure that as we add capacity,
[1:51:10]
the core facilities can I can
[1:51:14]
handle the truck but traffic
[1:51:19]
>> you also asked for current
[1:51:21]
currently vacant parcels that
[1:51:24]
the district owns was that
[1:51:24]
your was at the center
[1:51:28]
Minutes, that do not have.
[1:51:31]
>> Get a good example. Right
[1:51:32]
front. I have no idea how
[1:51:35]
acres is there. And how much
[1:51:38]
do actually use for students?
[1:51:41]
That kind of I hope we have
[1:51:44]
property that. Like that.
[1:51:48]
That's a perfect example. And
[1:51:49]
what I know we have discussed
[1:51:50]
another workshop, the property
[1:51:52]
that we have down at psc. But
[1:51:56]
I don't know if there's other.
[1:51:58]
Parcels that we have that.
[1:52:00]
We're never gonna be able to
[1:52:01]
use this little section for
[1:52:04]
this reason or that reason the
[1:52:06]
8 or 2 acres, whatever. No,
[1:52:09]
I'm saying that that's kind of
[1:52:10]
like her. I was going on. What
[1:52:11]
do we actually don't want to
[1:52:13]
read? Don't use what can we
[1:52:18]
not use that kind of thing?
[1:52:19]
Yeah. I had asked if we could
[1:52:20]
at the acreage onto but I
[1:52:21]
understand that would probably
[1:52:24]
been a lot of work.
[1:52:25]
>> vice chair, the other
[1:52:26]
pieces when you talk about
[1:52:28]
unused acreage, keep keep in
[1:52:33]
mind to a principal right?
[1:52:35]
Green space. Those get you
[1:52:36]
straight there. So, yeah, and
[1:52:38]
we've got we've got a former
[1:52:39]
right pe teacher on the board.
[1:52:40]
You've got if you've got green
[1:52:43]
space available for kids to
[1:52:48]
enjoy, it gets understand,
[1:52:48]
that's Yeah. Now we just need
[1:52:50]
to work on the shape for
[1:52:54]
those.
[1:52:54]
>> record and some of the
[1:52:55]
other Yeah, real quick,
[1:52:56]
gentlemen, I have a question
[1:52:59]
about the picture. Is this I
[1:52:59]
want to get is this Fort Hamer
[1:53:02]
road that's picture here or is
[1:53:04]
that River Trail program a
[1:53:06]
message to for a We're hearing
[1:53:10]
out of the picture up North
[1:53:13]
right here. Yeah. Got tap yes
[1:53:14]
of time. Okay. By the way, I
[1:53:17]
like the new branding is
[1:53:17]
already here for harboring or
[1:53:18]
3 branches school. Nice touch.
[1:53:21]
Thank you very much.
[1:53:24]
>> On the next slide, I like
[1:53:28]
discuss Lake Manatee, Kate.
[1:53:29]
The on state road. 64 and
[1:53:33]
Academic drive. Designed by
[1:53:35]
hks in dc is the construction
[1:53:36]
manager. Again, this project
[1:53:39]
is going extremely well. We've
[1:53:42]
got 95% structure completed
[1:53:44]
another 75% of the site work
[1:53:46]
done. The man that mechanical
[1:53:47]
electrical and plumbing
[1:53:49]
systems. Got 45% that were
[1:53:50]
completed and be a tear
[1:53:51]
finishes is growing at a rate
[1:53:53]
of about 25%. This project is
[1:53:58]
well, I-70 as a whole is about
[1:54:01]
70% complete and it will be
[1:54:02]
ready JULY 2025. With the
[1:54:05]
elementary portion of the
[1:54:06]
school opening and the middle
[1:54:07]
school portion of the school
[1:54:08]
pursuing after that with
[1:54:09]
expected completion around
[1:54:13]
MARCH. It's just a technical
[1:54:14]
and that's 48 this a 40 acre
[1:54:17]
acres.
[1:54:24]
>> man I just want. Boredom.
[1:54:25]
Even the public to understand
[1:54:28]
when you're talking about.
[1:54:32]
Interior finishes, that does
[1:54:36]
furniture. No separate is not
[1:54:39]
being paid the from trend
[1:54:44]
where final touches to end.
[1:54:46]
And right and Things of that
[1:54:49]
nature. Make sure people who
[1:54:51]
in this project adding another
[1:54:54]
1620 students stations.
[1:54:57]
>> For same question.
[1:54:58]
>> What's the what's the
[1:55:00]
closest main intersection to
[1:55:01]
Lake Manatee?
[1:55:02]
>> it will be uline and
[1:55:07]
academic drive. You line runs.
[1:55:10]
64 runs East and West. You lie
[1:55:12]
runs North intersecting and
[1:55:13]
off of you. Running to the
[1:55:15]
east is academic drive new
[1:55:20]
drone.
[1:55:21]
>> You know that as a pilot
[1:55:22]
take off, you're going to play
[1:55:23]
the bass favorite choice of
[1:55:24]
this thing called an alternate
[1:55:26]
plan in case the weather is
[1:55:27]
bad. It they say you get a
[1:55:28]
base is so what's the
[1:55:32]
alternate plan? If like we get
[1:55:34]
3 hurricanes in JULY and
[1:55:35]
AUGUST. And that's all whole
[1:55:36]
plan that we put together. And
[1:55:37]
I'm not I'm just curious,
[1:55:39]
like, what would we do? It? We
[1:55:39]
couldn't open the schools in
[1:55:46]
the fall when more move.
[1:55:47]
Doctor Weiss on question mayor
[1:55:49]
would being with entire
[1:55:51]
leadership team is going suit
[1:55:57]
up and we're going to for
[1:55:58]
>> I don't like to it right.
[1:56:00]
High probability that I'll
[1:56:03]
have a workers comp claim, but
[1:56:04]
I would the room stuff to make
[1:56:06]
sure the schools get
[1:56:07]
Obviously, if if there was
[1:56:12]
something. Absolutely
[1:56:13]
catastrophic, we would just
[1:56:14]
simply have to survive another
[1:56:18]
year on the over capacity
[1:56:18]
sites. But we're operating
[1:56:22]
now.
[1:56:26]
>> Little board Well, you to
[1:56:28]
MISTER In all these earlier
[1:56:30]
point, you know, we reach the
[1:56:31]
point going. We had to close
[1:56:34]
to new enrollment, We could
[1:56:36]
have put more portables there.
[1:56:38]
But the principal was out of
[1:56:42]
space. She served lunch any
[1:56:47]
kind of reasonable time, And
[1:56:49]
Harvey, I think we were pretty
[1:56:50]
much an a green space for for
[1:56:55]
portable. So that core
[1:56:56]
facility and managing all of
[1:56:57]
that really is the key point.
[1:57:01]
But hypothetical, if there was
[1:57:01]
some kind of catastrophic
[1:57:05]
event. Because we didn't
[1:57:07]
actually shifting boundaries
[1:57:11]
to open these 2 schools niche
[1:57:13]
Ali, we would just revert to
[1:57:14]
what are doing this year. It
[1:57:17]
would be but that's MR. Gough
[1:57:20]
has high confidence that we're
[1:57:21]
on track.
[1:57:24]
>> in addition to that, really
[1:57:27]
this upcoming hurricane season
[1:57:30]
already be inside. So if
[1:57:33]
things were delayed, it MAY be
[1:57:33]
some striping of the parking
[1:57:38]
You know, maybe critical part
[1:57:41]
was when we have the storm's
[1:57:43]
that JUNE and JULY when we at
[1:57:44]
the foundation level and
[1:57:47]
trying to bring the walls up
[1:57:51]
and you bring the roof on.
[1:57:52]
Those were the critical
[1:57:55]
points. And I mean it it's a
[1:57:56]
great, really Will. Smith and
[1:57:59]
nbc did an absolutely great
[1:58:01]
job we could have major
[1:58:03]
setbacks as as a result of
[1:58:05]
that. So we're worried about
[1:58:07]
this hurricane season. Coming
[1:58:09]
up for the 2 new elementary
[1:58:09]
schools in as we try to get
[1:58:10]
out of the ground in a
[1:58:13]
seven-day shuns in get that
[1:58:16]
level of work done. Our
[1:58:17]
concern usually isn't at the
[1:58:18]
end, it's kind of in in the in
[1:58:19]
the middle and the beginning.
[1:58:23]
Was original pick say?
[1:58:23]
>> And to add to MISTER Of
[1:58:27]
these comments. In dc did a
[1:58:28]
tremendous job in spite of the
[1:58:32]
storm damage that we have had
[1:58:33]
on that project. They've done
[1:58:35]
a tremendous step and I'm very
[1:58:38]
excited about where we
[1:58:38]
confident, MR. Stated that
[1:58:39]
we're going to go to the
[1:58:41]
schools open on time.
[1:58:42]
>> I don't doubt that we will.
[1:58:44]
Just was curious, like what is
[1:58:51]
act of GOD that even it? And
[1:58:52]
he over or not I have full
[1:58:52]
confidence what you're saying.
[1:58:55]
I was just curious but what we
[1:58:56]
do in the event of acts of
[1:58:56]
governor. All right. That's
[1:59:00]
all have big.
[1:59:00]
>> Let's continue on. Think
[1:59:02]
the next slide is parents
[1:59:06]
community high school. We have
[1:59:08]
it addition being constructed
[1:59:09]
but company and shows was the
[1:59:12]
architect of record that
[1:59:15]
project right now is 95%
[1:59:17]
complete. So 23,000 Edition
[1:59:18]
with additional 16 clash looms
[1:59:21]
into engineering laps projects
[1:59:23]
gone extremely well. We're
[1:59:27]
getting ready to open and a
[1:59:27]
couple of weeks. As a matter
[1:59:29]
of fact, got some final
[1:59:30]
testing to doing punch list
[1:59:31]
and that this project is about
[1:59:35]
ready Finish up prepare for
[1:59:38]
the students. Talk about.
[1:59:40]
Again, we're adding an
[1:59:41]
additional 480 students
[1:59:42]
stations with this with this
[1:59:43]
construction. If had a
[1:59:45]
question, go ahead.
[1:59:46]
>> I was there this week.
[1:59:50]
They're very excited about
[1:59:51]
that opening around the
[1:59:52]
outside a little bit. Their
[1:59:57]
defense when when this opens
[1:59:58]
and neglected to ask the
[2:00:00]
principle time when this
[2:00:04]
opens, is it going to reduce?
[2:00:05]
>> Class sizes, currently
[2:00:06]
current class sizes as well
[2:00:07]
since that will be open during
[2:00:10]
the semester. Do you? You
[2:00:11]
know, if that's going to a way
[2:00:13]
to do that, or is it just?
[2:00:15]
They're going to be able to
[2:00:15]
take because I know they're
[2:00:18]
floating teachers right now,
[2:00:19]
right? So and then giving them
[2:00:22]
a place that.
[2:00:22]
>> You know, my discussions
[2:00:26]
with the principal, he does
[2:00:27]
have a number of floating
[2:00:29]
teachers that will finally
[2:00:30]
have a home, a permanent So
[2:00:34]
that was his priority. Thank
[2:00:39]
>> My question more about.
[2:00:40]
Forward thinking that's what
[2:00:40]
we're all doing. Your return,
[2:00:43]
forecast.
[2:00:48]
>> When of the school 7 years
[2:00:58]
ago. By 5 years you ok? Was
[2:00:59]
there discussion there's some
[2:00:59]
leading to MISTER Kennedy.
[2:01:03]
Hear about copping that. Boxed
[2:01:08]
in for future growth. Instead
[2:01:13]
because we didn't do out there
[2:01:14]
for about did We part of the
[2:01:15]
plan. Your future growth. Go
[2:01:20]
ahead and do the box.
[2:01:20]
>> Utility worst are about to
[2:01:22]
write the proposed location.
[2:01:25]
We actually had the facility
[2:01:27]
design already rough greeting
[2:01:30]
final grading was certain that
[2:01:31]
as well. And so it was just a
[2:01:32]
matter of starting pour
[2:01:34]
concrete and going 19 years
[2:01:34]
here. We've typically had
[2:01:38]
additional.
[2:01:38]
>> Designed for added
[2:01:42]
additions and for portables.
[2:01:43]
At the time. We didn't have
[2:01:45]
significant growth that we're
[2:01:46]
experiencing now. But all the
[2:01:48]
designs had room for
[2:01:49]
additional classroom space and
[2:01:55]
for Portables. I guess my
[2:01:55]
question.
[2:01:58]
>> Why didn't we just build it
[2:01:58]
done when things are way
[2:02:01]
cheaper than they are now?
[2:02:05]
>> Bridget and what what it
[2:02:06]
doesn't, what it does and what
[2:02:07]
We all here and say GOD, like
[2:02:11]
been 10.5 million in building,
[2:02:12]
right? So that's the hard
[2:02:14]
part. Still, prices cheaper.
[2:02:17]
Budgets were
[2:02:19]
>> I love those like. But if
[2:02:22]
it doesn't get cold.
[2:02:22]
>> getting nice. Going to say
[2:02:25]
to that point like that was
[2:02:26]
the bounce was that we've got
[2:02:28]
to keep. The budget under
[2:02:29]
control and the growth we're
[2:02:30]
having now was the same growth
[2:02:31]
we're having 6, 7 years ago.
[2:02:34]
So we knew. Just like we know
[2:02:36]
now we've got to create one
[2:02:37]
for expansion. And that's
[2:02:40]
that's the team perspective
[2:02:42]
from you being here during.
[2:02:48]
>> That Level growth now is
[2:02:49]
far greater than the level of
[2:02:54]
growth. That was projected in
[2:02:56]
5 years ago. I mean, I you
[2:02:57]
know, I don't have any data to
[2:03:00]
back this up. Feels to me very
[2:03:00]
similar.
[2:03:03]
>> you know, certainly during.
[2:03:04]
The aftermath of the initial
[2:03:05]
covid shutdowns, a lot of
[2:03:08]
people come Florida. So you
[2:03:08]
might have seen a little
[2:03:11]
bubble But again, no data. But
[2:03:12]
my feeling has been we were
[2:03:13]
seeing. Just as many people
[2:03:17]
coming. For 2020 as we're
[2:03:21]
seeing now after 2020. Because
[2:03:22]
it feels heavier to me that
[2:03:23]
we're seeing a lot more calm
[2:03:27]
can certainly feels heavier on
[2:03:27]
the roads.
[2:03:28]
>> So maybe that's what I
[2:03:31]
think. Just I think it's just
[2:03:32]
>> this constant growth we're
[2:03:33]
seeing kid was, I agree,
[2:03:35]
getting pretty constant. Yeah.
[2:03:37]
I mean, if you look at it, I
[2:03:38]
guess the way for the school
[2:03:40]
district. Look, this is like.
[2:03:40]
Let's look at year-over-year
[2:03:43]
over the past 10 years. That
[2:03:44]
would be like to me we're
[2:03:47]
getting every
[2:03:48]
>> And and we've done through
[2:03:53]
other things. So reports that
[2:03:54]
we see year-over-year the
[2:03:55]
projections of students go but
[2:03:58]
down. It's going and and to
[2:04:02]
spray that in. And most of
[2:04:04]
this is up here in the
[2:04:07]
district. So I can I can tell
[2:04:09]
you that it has been
[2:04:11]
consistent, the neighborhood
[2:04:12]
that we currently live in
[2:04:13]
wasn't there 15 years ago that
[2:04:16]
there were cows and now the
[2:04:16]
neighborhood that we're in is
[2:04:20]
now old. And there is get rid
[2:04:23]
her son and and others massive
[2:04:23]
growth all around us. And I
[2:04:24]
drive down road and go out
[2:04:27]
towards any of my schools out
[2:04:28]
there. And I'm like
[2:04:28]
neighborhood wasn't here last
[2:04:31]
week. But it's been like that.
[2:04:32]
It has been like that
[2:04:36]
consistently over the last 15,
[2:04:39]
10 to 15 years. Is. It is. And
[2:04:40]
it's funny because people
[2:04:42]
think there's nothing they
[2:04:43]
still if they've never been
[2:04:44]
out there. But you all, of
[2:04:46]
course, have they still think
[2:04:48]
there's nothing there, but but
[2:04:49]
no, we read the cows have gone
[2:04:52]
have a lot of other things.
[2:04:53]
And also to your point about
[2:04:57]
why didn't we build it before
[2:04:58]
it's been my experience. When
[2:04:59]
I was a journalist based cover
[2:05:00]
the Metropolitan Planning
[2:05:04]
Organization we were always
[2:05:05]
asking why don't you? Why
[2:05:09]
didn't I-75 now? Or why don't
[2:05:10]
you widens 64 now or things
[2:05:14]
like that? Because but they're
[2:05:14]
building out there. And that
[2:05:15]
was always the what we can't
[2:05:16]
do it now because what happens
[2:05:20]
growth doesn't come and and it
[2:05:21]
is. It's frustrating. It's
[2:05:22]
really frustrating,
[2:05:23]
particularly for those of us
[2:05:24]
out there who are now going
[2:05:28]
wise and 301, whiter, you
[2:05:29]
know, it is. But it is. It
[2:05:33]
comes down what happens or
[2:05:33]
doesn't happen and the money
[2:05:34]
and the money the money. And I
[2:05:37]
think.
[2:05:38]
>> No, sir, forget they cut
[2:05:42]
off. Next slide. I like to go
[2:05:48]
any Lucy Williams. We're
[2:05:50]
getting ready for to construct
[2:05:52]
a classroom addition there and
[2:05:54]
it currently and the gmp
[2:05:55]
getting ready to go to the
[2:05:58]
board when to sup 8
[2:05:59]
construction starting.
[2:05:59]
>> In 2025 and at the end of
[2:06:05]
the year. That's going to be
[2:06:06]
another 162 additional student
[2:06:07]
stations to that campus. And
[2:06:08]
look at that picture.
[2:06:12]
>> That is. Behind like when
[2:06:15]
you're on. For him or for him
[2:06:16]
use to hide it right right,
[2:06:21]
MR. China.
[2:06:24]
>> Is Williams is now
[2:06:26]
basically mean, beyond
[2:06:27]
capacity, going get back to
[2:06:33]
that city and So this question
[2:06:33]
is only relevant to me because
[2:06:34]
I happen to drive past
[2:06:36]
William's that this missile
[2:06:38]
yesterday
[2:06:40]
>> as I was looking at my gps
[2:06:41]
that are going try and read
[2:06:46]
Mark on the road Williams but
[2:06:47]
I'm curious, there some backed
[2:06:50]
up onto Fort Hamer for Hammer.
[2:06:54]
Excuse me, is in the is in the
[2:06:56]
construction plan. Any added
[2:07:00]
capacity for a car cueing.
[2:07:01]
>> Thank. You know, MISTER
[2:07:02]
Kennedy will have additional
[2:07:02]
funding for that in this
[2:07:05]
particular desire cut. We
[2:07:08]
bring even more come into
[2:07:10]
things. But that's that's
[2:07:12]
going to create a significant
[2:07:13]
traffic isn't as of right now,
[2:07:14]
a lot of space for either with
[2:07:16]
existing is 16 site rather
[2:07:19]
okay. Parts Britain.
[2:07:20]
>> Some of the some of the
[2:07:21]
anticipated growth there is
[2:07:26]
the. Developments that are
[2:07:28]
very immediately proximate to
[2:07:31]
the schools. So there MAY be
[2:07:33]
additional walkers as that
[2:07:35]
school continues to grow. But
[2:07:36]
again, we also need to be
[2:07:37]
looking at the attendance zone
[2:07:41]
for William course will get.
[2:07:42]
>> Okay. Is used to with the
[2:07:46]
walkers and stuff? I'm Amber.
[2:07:47]
When developed that maybe a
[2:07:51]
couple years ago, maybe before
[2:07:52]
Christ you were here. There
[2:07:55]
was there was a lot of e-mails
[2:07:56]
about.
[2:07:57]
>> The speed people walking
[2:08:00]
kids walking on Fort Hamer. So
[2:08:00]
you're looking at this picture
[2:08:03]
like I don't know exactly this
[2:08:04]
picture where development is
[2:08:07]
happening and what's not. Is.
[2:08:09]
But if there was to be
[2:08:09]
development bike directly
[2:08:12]
Roundup.
[2:08:14]
>> On on our line.
[2:08:17]
>> Can we do anything with
[2:08:17]
those developers, bill but to
[2:08:20]
do a walk-through? I got a
[2:08:27]
example at Stewart Elementary
[2:08:28]
right in the back there. A lot
[2:08:29]
of this more used to be a part
[2:08:30]
of a driveway or not drive a
[2:08:32]
bit of side wall with that to
[2:08:38]
the neighborhood. So something
[2:08:39]
like that means that the
[2:08:40]
majority talk, think, MR.
[2:08:42]
Pelly is that some type of
[2:08:43]
interface with that type of
[2:08:44]
the. So let me give you
[2:08:47]
cautionary tale.
[2:08:51]
>> And it goes back to. The
[2:08:52]
question the spray had and
[2:08:59]
I'll get answer your question.
[2:09:00]
Built go. Alum I've been here
[2:09:01]
a long time. We're starting
[2:09:06]
renovate schools. Know that
[2:09:07]
>> so we built elmentary based
[2:09:09]
on projected growth. Coming.
[2:09:10]
>> It was fast and furious
[2:09:14]
like it is today. 2008, my
[2:09:17]
flip. A light switch. The
[2:09:22]
growth stopped. So we ended up
[2:09:26]
with a a school that was 75%
[2:09:26]
complete. Sitting out in the
[2:09:29]
middle of a field. And there
[2:09:30]
are no houses being built
[2:09:33]
around the coast. Residential
[2:09:34]
growth stock. We had to make a
[2:09:38]
decision. Do we? Let it stay
[2:09:41]
like it is or do we a smart
[2:09:43]
move push to finish? So we did
[2:09:48]
and for the next. 5, 6 years
[2:09:51]
with the bus students over to
[2:09:52]
go there was no there, but
[2:09:56]
they're not so that's one
[2:09:58]
reason you don't want to get
[2:09:59]
ahead of yourself building. It
[2:10:05]
bans. When I look at it.
[2:10:08]
Williams here, there is a and
[2:10:11]
asphalt drive. Behind the
[2:10:15]
school. So it would be yeah.
[2:10:19]
Fort Hamer Road in front and
[2:10:20]
and asphalt drive in the back.
[2:10:24]
And there's a loop. And it was
[2:10:25]
to tie in with what was
[2:10:27]
originally developed as Cross
[2:10:28]
Creek, which was owned by
[2:10:34]
homes. During that same time.
[2:10:38]
Growth stopped. They got their
[2:10:40]
selves and financial problems
[2:10:44]
the plans were banned because
[2:10:44]
we have been coordinating
[2:10:46]
hand-in-hand with them, too,
[2:10:47]
to say we're going to build
[2:10:49]
this loop so that you can
[2:10:51]
bring your your parents and
[2:10:53]
from your neighborhood in them
[2:10:54]
back to the school so they
[2:10:56]
don't have to go in for road.
[2:10:57]
But again, then having to
[2:10:59]
abandon their plans. Another
[2:11:01]
developer bought it. That
[2:11:06]
wasn't what his plans until so
[2:11:06]
we have asphalt looped in the
[2:11:09]
back of the school that no
[2:11:13]
vehicle will ever connected.
[2:11:17]
Again. A cautionary tale of
[2:11:18]
getting too far ahead of
[2:11:20]
yourself. So lessons We are
[2:11:24]
working with the developer.
[2:11:25]
Get your question. And we're
[2:11:26]
working with the developer to
[2:11:30]
get the Destrehan access into
[2:11:32]
the back of the school. That
[2:11:33]
in itself can create issues
[2:11:35]
for school administration as
[2:11:36]
to how you know how they
[2:11:40]
monitor their campus. So
[2:11:42]
nothing is set in stone here.
[2:11:45]
We just had some but a lot
[2:11:46]
times, you know, you want that
[2:11:47]
single point of access. So
[2:11:50]
now, if you've got students
[2:11:51]
are parents coming in from the
[2:11:54]
back of the school yet extra
[2:11:56]
personnel extra safeguards in
[2:11:57]
place. But we are in
[2:11:58]
discussions. We've had
[2:12:04]
discussions on that
[2:12:04]
>> respect to that point. I
[2:12:13]
know that MISTER Tatum long.
[2:12:13]
About it. We're going to build
[2:12:14]
a school and then we have a
[2:12:15]
wall and you've got a house on
[2:12:18]
the other side of that wall.
[2:12:18]
>> And they go to that school.
[2:12:22]
But they got a goal 2 miles
[2:12:24]
this way, 2 miles that way, 2
[2:12:27]
miles that way just to get.
[2:12:28]
And when that just across the
[2:12:33]
pets. I know the single point
[2:12:36]
of access. What we're throwing
[2:12:39]
more traffic. Out there, too.
[2:12:44]
So at that. I got it. Drive my
[2:12:51]
child to school. Vs. Having
[2:12:53]
walk that or but the traffic
[2:12:53]
in the traffic flow that can
[2:12:57]
accommodate that. Additional
[2:12:59]
traffic. Then you've got to
[2:13:00]
kind of look at that, too. So
[2:13:01]
that's what I would they I
[2:13:05]
mean, you go out to. I went
[2:13:08]
the soccer match at like the
[2:13:09]
ranch. Congratulation to the
[2:13:15]
girls there's several
[2:13:17]
entrances there. 4 different
[2:13:18]
areas. So you never use some
[2:13:23]
time. We've got a look at that
[2:13:26]
marketing. I'm sure you do so.
[2:13:26]
>> Yeah, yeah. And I just want
[2:13:27]
to make an observation real
[2:13:30]
quick. Some of these issues
[2:13:34]
are. We're kind of at the
[2:13:36]
mercy, the county commission
[2:13:36]
so that I I don't that. Say
[2:13:41]
that negatively but in the you
[2:13:42]
know, we have we have to work
[2:13:42]
with what we have. So in the
[2:13:47]
case of the traffic example,
[2:13:47]
we're kind of stuck there with
[2:13:49]
a 2 lane road with that big
[2:13:50]
overcrowded school. And it's
[2:13:53]
going road and it's I think
[2:13:54]
you guys are the experts at
[2:13:56]
this. You can tell me it's
[2:13:58]
probably easier to build in
[2:13:58]
Lakewood Ranch, because in
[2:13:59]
Lakewood Ranch, when it's
[2:14:00]
developed her. But it was
[2:14:02]
developed. The infrastructure
[2:14:06]
was put in first parish in
[2:14:09]
North Palmetto thousands of
[2:14:11]
homes going first and 2 lanes
[2:14:12]
and then it took to the
[2:14:12]
taxpayers to catch up after
[2:14:15]
the fact. I didn't bring up
[2:14:16]
that concerned, but I do want
[2:14:18]
to recognize that we are kind
[2:14:24]
of handcuffed by. What you
[2:14:24]
know what's planned. And that
[2:14:28]
is good observation. Lakewood
[2:14:33]
Ranch. And I've been here a
[2:14:35]
long time. Was working with
[2:14:36]
Rex Jensen, went to work for
[2:14:38]
Manatee County back in the Mid
[2:14:41]
80's mid-nineties.
[2:14:42]
>> So I kind of knew what was
[2:14:45]
coming. And Lakewood Ranch.
[2:14:46]
The difference at Lakewood
[2:14:49]
Ranch has over other
[2:14:50]
developers as they own massive
[2:14:52]
amount land which they could
[2:14:55]
plan for where lot of other
[2:14:58]
developers they have. 200
[2:15:01]
acres, 400 Acres, Lakewood
[2:15:07]
Ranch. I think initially they
[2:15:08]
had like 28,000 and they've
[2:15:10]
added on to it so they can
[2:15:14]
master planned community of
[2:15:16]
whereas those smaller shunning
[2:15:17]
say small, though they're
[2:15:19]
still big developers, but they
[2:15:19]
just don't own the mask bill
[2:15:23]
to go in and master plan
[2:15:25]
entire area like Lakewood
[2:15:25]
Ranch did. Yes, Lakewood Ranch
[2:15:31]
much easier. Deal with schools
[2:15:32]
infrastructure. Then the
[2:15:34]
schools we fund and parish.
[2:15:34]
And I know you work closely
[2:15:38]
with the county. You can't
[2:15:39]
always planning contentious
[2:15:41]
issues, but and hopefully our
[2:15:45]
county commission will. You
[2:15:45]
know, they've already begun to
[2:15:46]
discuss growth pretty
[2:15:48]
seriously with which I know
[2:15:50]
we're gonna get to later in
[2:15:51]
and I wasn't Haitian. It's not
[2:15:57]
job. Next, but also recognize
[2:15:58]
that Harvard Jolly building
[2:15:59]
companies working with us on
[2:16:00]
the end. It was too project as
[2:16:01]
well.
[2:16:03]
>> Our next slide is on are
[2:16:04]
elementary school that are
[2:16:10]
some lakes. We currently have
[2:16:14]
Skanska usa Builders. Working
[2:16:14]
on this project as our
[2:16:15]
construction manager and they
[2:16:20]
are. Want to be constructing
[2:16:20]
the elementary school, the
[2:16:21]
Artisan Lakes and at Wright
[2:16:26]
Ranch. Currently design. It
[2:16:27]
started and we're getting
[2:16:31]
ready to go to g m p when the
[2:16:32]
design development stage.
[2:16:33]
Right now we like to start
[2:16:37]
construction around MARCH with
[2:16:37]
an anticipated completion
[2:16:39]
accuse me of JULY of 2026.
[2:16:43]
Both of these projects could
[2:16:43]
be a 2 story prototype.
[2:16:45]
Approximately 122,500 Square
[2:16:51]
Feet. It's have 969 students
[2:16:53]
stations. We're looking
[2:16:53]
forward to getting this
[2:16:57]
project started on time. And
[2:17:00]
if you look at the the layout,
[2:17:05]
we show an additional lay out
[2:17:09]
for were the additional school
[2:17:09]
is going to be in that
[2:17:14]
location.
[2:17:15]
>> you. That's a little box to
[2:17:16]
the bottom That's the box the
[2:17:19]
bottom that inside MR. Chote.
[2:17:21]
That's the that's the
[2:17:22]
footprint that we anticipate
[2:17:23]
for that two-storey to be
[2:17:30]
placed. Turn off again. Same
[2:17:31]
question. What's the nearest
[2:17:33]
intersection on coach?
[2:17:35]
Charlie, I think that's big
[2:17:40]
Ben, to Yeah, I think big.
[2:17:41]
Sorry. It's right. I wrote, as
[2:17:46]
you know, Kyra, book. Like
[2:17:48]
that use myself right near
[2:17:52]
where the counties do the
[2:17:53]
Veterans Park, that's right. I
[2:17:54]
wanted to drive around up
[2:17:55]
there, but I had no clue where
[2:17:58]
to look
[2:18:00]
>> so it is directly adjacent
[2:18:02]
to the county's proposed
[2:18:05]
veterans Memorial So you can
[2:18:09]
access the site from the south
[2:18:10]
off of Moxham Wall Road on
[2:18:13]
Artisan Lakes Parkway. There's
[2:18:16]
side road that comes off of I
[2:18:20]
I think it's called Madden.
[2:18:23]
Madden form way or something
[2:18:25]
like that or you can access it
[2:18:26]
from Buckeye Road. Either
[2:18:29]
roads on the north side of of
[2:18:31]
and make this is what 18 acre
[2:18:33]
site. This is actually
[2:18:37]
winners. But there are number
[2:18:41]
of the easement over the side
[2:18:44]
for Fpnl. A number of wetlands
[2:18:44]
on the site. So even though
[2:18:46]
it's a larger side, the normal
[2:18:47]
it's we don't have excess
[2:18:54]
property there. I can on the
[2:18:54]
map and Google were that this
[2:19:05]
is coming park down here.
[2:19:06]
>> Which section did you say
[2:19:06]
for potential growth would be
[2:19:08]
that gray box down here?
[2:19:14]
>> To the rarely left.
[2:19:17]
>> There's 20 record. Doubles
[2:19:17]
located.
[2:19:18]
>> Potential portables in the
[2:19:21]
back rows of the smaller. And
[2:19:26]
worked part
[2:19:27]
>> so that would be for how
[2:19:31]
many additional? Particular.
[2:19:33]
>> It's just a place holder.
[2:19:34]
We haven't put a design with
[2:19:35]
it or identified a number of
[2:19:37]
students station
[2:19:40]
>> Okay. Just to play. So
[2:19:40]
we're not.
[2:19:41]
>> But but I mean, could
[2:19:42]
easily be was going to be a 2
[2:19:45]
story, right? We could
[2:19:49]
probably yet classroom 16, 16
[2:19:51]
totals of 320 students
[2:19:56]
stations on okay All
[2:19:58]
>> The on with Dry ranch
[2:20:02]
coming front developer.
[2:20:03]
>> this property is being
[2:20:07]
purchased from. Suburban Land
[2:20:09]
Reserve. That's so are they're
[2:20:12]
based of Utah. They developed
[2:20:16]
a lot of Artisan Lakes, which
[2:20:18]
is the development that this
[2:20:18]
is located within again, been
[2:20:21]
here a long time I worked on
[2:20:25]
our Sun Lakes and later on,
[2:20:26]
keep this reference in mind,
[2:20:28]
this is important because we
[2:20:30]
talk about the progression of
[2:20:32]
development. I worked on our
[2:20:34]
Sun Lakes when I was with
[2:20:36]
Manatee County, it's still
[2:20:39]
developing. So it sat dormant
[2:20:40]
for
[2:20:40]
>> decade. And the exact that
[2:20:42]
I love that I would think not
[2:20:46]
so beautiful. Like bridge
[2:20:47]
entrance way like that. Was it
[2:20:52]
long time to develop? Jack?
[2:20:53]
>> Vice chair when you said is
[2:20:56]
that the same? It's it's
[2:20:57]
different. Property sellers.
[2:21:00]
It's the same cause.
[2:21:01]
Destruction manager.
[2:21:02]
>> For that that's teen. Yeah,
[2:21:08]
I just wanted to see getting
[2:21:09]
from. We the same developer
[2:21:13]
Iran says all You to. Without
[2:21:15]
who started that decades ago,
[2:21:20]
the I don't know who started
[2:21:24]
this. The question we're wire.
[2:21:26]
This land is from beast owner
[2:21:31]
and you top. So you we are
[2:21:32]
acquiring from owner in Utah.
[2:21:37]
This land was designated
[2:21:38]
>> the original development of
[2:21:39]
regional impact, which was
[2:21:42]
approved back in. Want to say
[2:21:47]
right around 1990, development
[2:21:49]
rejoin impact or large
[2:21:49]
developments. Take don't
[2:21:50]
recognize me more. But it was
[2:21:55]
a type of development that the
[2:21:57]
state recognized at the time
[2:21:57]
and they had to go through a
[2:22:01]
heightened level of review.
[2:22:03]
The ones that are there still
[2:22:04]
grandfathered in. But they
[2:22:05]
really don't have new ones
[2:22:10]
anymore. This particular site
[2:22:11]
and designated for a school
[2:22:17]
site for. What's yours I don't
[2:22:21]
realize not. Great history. I
[2:22:29]
did not know that. Okay.
[2:22:29]
>> And our final presentation
[2:22:30]
the elementary school. It
[2:22:33]
right ranch. Again. It's a
[2:22:34]
prototype of the Artisan
[2:22:39]
Lakes. Campus. It's going to
[2:22:41]
be 969 2 stations. Again, 100
[2:22:47]
and 22,555 Square Feet School.
[2:22:48]
And again, we're getting ready
[2:22:50]
start this in MARCH work on
[2:22:52]
the gnp as we speak with
[2:22:54]
skanska recall it being the
[2:22:55]
architect looking forward to
[2:22:59]
completing JUNE of 2026. I
[2:23:00]
think this is an 18 acre site
[2:23:01]
as well as spring.
[2:23:04]
>> And how many I'm sorry.
[2:23:06]
>> The Sun, 18 acre site that
[2:23:07]
can understand her my family
[2:23:07]
can get a little bit more
[2:23:10]
site. The site's much more
[2:23:14]
efficient, then. And took helm
[2:23:18]
entry site the coast. We when
[2:23:20]
we negotiated this contract,
[2:23:22]
which the board just approved
[2:23:22]
last Tuesday that forced him
[2:23:27]
not to the contract. We deal
[2:23:30]
with the developer were our
[2:23:31]
storm. Water would not be on
[2:23:32]
site. It would be in their
[2:23:35]
master retention system. So
[2:23:39]
storm water takes up. In
[2:23:42]
general, probably about 15 to
[2:23:43]
20% of your site. So you
[2:23:45]
notice here, there's no
[2:23:46]
stalled on right? We even
[2:23:51]
though we bought less land we
[2:23:53]
have for you is potential for
[2:23:54]
>> So on on the the map is
[2:23:58]
that the what kind of bubble
[2:24:00]
over on the left side of it is
[2:24:01]
that where their their storm
[2:24:05]
water is? Yes, ma'am, it ok.
[2:24:06]
>> And then one of the cross
[2:24:11]
streets Charlie Thank the gets
[2:24:15]
a legacy preserve is the the
[2:24:16]
one on the right side of the
[2:24:19]
design.
[2:24:20]
>> And the one on the north
[2:24:24]
side is well over Leaf
[2:24:28]
Cloverfield later, over
[2:24:29]
something over something I'm
[2:24:31]
looking for, but it's not even
[2:24:32]
at think we probably right
[2:24:35]
now. Think.
[2:24:39]
>> for me, again, what you
[2:24:40]
approved Tuesday was something
[2:24:45]
that we negotiated the seller.
[2:24:46]
>> They had a mask grating
[2:24:50]
permit approved, which is we
[2:24:50]
found to be very beneficial to
[2:24:55]
us because that they started
[2:24:58]
in good faith knowing that
[2:24:58]
this deal was coming in us
[2:25:01]
becoming blood brothers and
[2:25:03]
say, I promise we'll do They
[2:25:03]
started mass grading the site
[2:25:06]
and they are since we don't
[2:25:09]
have any retention, they are
[2:25:13]
providing the film material
[2:25:13]
and they're providing approx
[2:25:15]
145,000 cubic yards in grading
[2:25:16]
it and that is occurring
[2:25:19]
today. And when we close on
[2:25:22]
this property, which would be
[2:25:26]
by Mid-MARCH. They will have
[2:25:28]
building area mass graded to
[2:25:29]
the elevation that we need.
[2:25:30]
And then the remaining part of
[2:25:32]
the site, though, provide all
[2:25:33]
that Fillon grating within 90
[2:25:37]
days. So it was allowed us to
[2:25:39]
get a jump on the construction
[2:25:40]
schedule goes. That's going to
[2:25:44]
save us to 3 months of time.
[2:25:47]
Well, they've been amazing and
[2:25:47]
supporting us through this
[2:25:48]
taking the steps for us. We
[2:25:52]
don't want
[2:25:53]
>> that concludes my
[2:25:53]
presentation. Thank you very
[2:25:57]
much.
[2:25:58]
>> MISTER Gough. So if you
[2:26:03]
look at the price of the
[2:26:03]
Artisan Lakes school and then
[2:26:04]
the price of the bright red
[2:26:10]
school. So number student 32.
[2:26:11]
the day all the same. The
[2:26:12]
number students are the same
[2:26:15]
actually of it. This every but
[2:26:19]
less land. So why is that's
[2:26:19]
cool? Projected to be about
[2:26:20]
million dollars more expensive
[2:26:22]
than the and the other
[2:26:27]
elementary school.
[2:26:29]
>> You think here and want say
[2:26:33]
market technical. That bills
[2:26:34]
are.
[2:26:34]
>> Yes. So the prize for the
[2:26:40]
for start of the Lake schools.
[2:26:41]
67.2 million and right. But
[2:26:43]
this is prevent schools 7, 0,
[2:26:44]
I'm sorry to take them to
[2:26:44]
given that that's that's
[2:26:47]
that's not that's not
[2:26:47]
accurate.
[2:26:51]
>> And he's agree that should
[2:26:55]
be 65. Yes, was much. I'm
[2:27:06]
sorry. I just say it was
[2:27:07]
10 million dollars. My type
[2:27:10]
the law should have been. So
[2:27:12]
>> Actually going highlight it
[2:27:16]
well and great catch. That's a
[2:27:18]
huge correction. Thank you.
[2:27:23]
No, thank It's just the power
[2:27:24]
point. This is an so there's
[2:27:30]
little different.
[2:27:31]
>> Ok, Poppy, running up and
[2:27:32]
move just one after the line
[2:27:34]
okay with going at I guess my
[2:27:37]
question do you want to stop
[2:27:39]
in the middle of this
[2:27:41]
potentially and have lunch
[2:27:44]
board. Also giving. Talking to
[2:27:47]
you all as well or would you
[2:27:50]
rather do it now? So we have
[2:27:51]
this or get through this tax
[2:27:52]
act because the section you
[2:27:54]
want to get through bison
[2:27:56]
right take a lunch you like to
[2:27:57]
that.
[2:27:57]
>> I was originally thinking
[2:27:58]
that we try to get through
[2:28:02]
this before lunch, but board,
[2:28:04]
if you if if you're ready for
[2:28:05]
a we certainly do. And I don't
[2:28:06]
care about taking a break this
[2:28:08]
up, want to get you all. I
[2:28:12]
want thank the sectional too.
[2:28:16]
The looming question to go
[2:28:17]
That's all I ever think. I
[2:28:22]
it's 12, 30 one I. That's 30
[2:28:23]
minute break. So we'll come
[2:28:26]
back and won. You guys can all
[2:28:27]
go cut your b#
[2:28:27]
of it? That
[2:28:30]
I think we have food for
[2:28:30]
everybody, though. That
[2:28:35]
correct, MR. Chapman. Gun,
[2:28:36]
Yeah. I thought you do. Not
[2:28:56]
Good afternoon. And that's
[2:28:57]
going get back contract think
[2:29:01]
we are on Roman Numeral or
[2:29:06]
we'll the analysis.
[2:29:07]
>> Good afternoon going to do
[2:29:11]
quick run through of the
[2:29:12]
school capacity overview
[2:29:13]
couple of terms we want to
[2:29:16]
talk about first. The first is
[2:29:20]
fish capacity. And fish than
[2:29:21]
before Florida inventory of
[2:29:26]
school houses. And we'll use
[2:29:27]
that reference extensively
[2:29:28]
throughout his capacity
[2:29:33]
analysis fish is a method that
[2:29:39]
dot uses to categorize track.
[2:29:40]
And monitor the amount of
[2:29:41]
physical spaces that we have
[2:29:45]
on campus. And it's at the
[2:29:47]
campus level is that building
[2:29:49]
level and its actually at the
[2:29:50]
classroom or space level as
[2:29:55]
well. Fisher's actually first
[2:29:58]
established for campus during
[2:30:01]
the design phase. So we are
[2:30:03]
identifying the types of
[2:30:04]
classrooms. We identify all of
[2:30:08]
the sport spaces and then we
[2:30:08]
break it up into buildings.
[2:30:12]
And then we report. To the
[2:30:14]
Department of Education. That
[2:30:18]
data and from there we track.
[2:30:22]
For everything funding as well
[2:30:23]
as if we do any modifications
[2:30:26]
for the fa. So facilities,
[2:30:30]
then they track using the fish
[2:30:33]
as I say, it's a design code.
[2:30:37]
It does not fully align.
[2:30:38]
>> With the usage of the
[2:30:42]
facilities, though, because
[2:30:45]
it's identified so early in
[2:30:46]
the process by the time we've
[2:30:49]
occupied a new campus, we've
[2:30:51]
identified the enrollment.
[2:30:54]
Identified the programs. Then
[2:30:57]
at that point, fish is
[2:31:01]
probably about 80% correct.
[2:31:02]
And what drives it from not
[2:31:03]
being correct is, for
[2:31:07]
instance, classrooms. If I've
[2:31:07]
got to standard classroom,
[2:31:09]
that's a primary classroom
[2:31:12]
have 18 students stations. But
[2:31:15]
if we use that classroom for
[2:31:17]
any se program, it MAY only be
[2:31:20]
10 students stations. So
[2:31:22]
immediately, yeah, we've got
[2:31:23]
the fish capacity there. But
[2:31:25]
when it comes to the way we
[2:31:26]
utilize it, it does not align
[2:31:30]
and that that happens kind of
[2:31:31]
at every level at the middle
[2:31:33]
school and the high school
[2:31:36]
level. The oea does make an
[2:31:36]
adjustment in our show how
[2:31:40]
they do it in the charts. So
[2:31:41]
it's closer to our actual
[2:31:44]
usage at those 2 levels. But
[2:31:45]
at the elementary level is
[2:31:47]
where we always have a bit of
[2:31:50]
a challenge. So what we've
[2:31:52]
created is what's called
[2:31:54]
program capacity and what I'll
[2:31:56]
be doing over the next 3 weeks
[2:31:59]
is surveying the principles to
[2:32:02]
identify all of those spaces
[2:32:06]
on their campus and work. The
[2:32:07]
specific usage is so if we've
[2:32:09]
got a classroom, that's an
[2:32:10]
intermediate classroom for 22
[2:32:11]
children. But we're using it
[2:32:13]
for Pre-k then, you know, all
[2:32:14]
know that the 22 isn't a
[2:32:18]
portable. We'll have 10, 12
[2:32:20]
students in that Pre-k
[2:32:21]
classroom. So we'll work
[2:32:24]
through that to make sure that
[2:32:25]
we've got an understanding of
[2:32:28]
what the actual program usage,
[2:32:30]
but keep in mind, it's kind of
[2:32:33]
snapshot in time and it MAY
[2:32:35]
change over time, but it
[2:32:38]
leaves it's a better
[2:32:39]
representation of what the
[2:32:40]
campuses are actually in the
[2:32:42]
spaces are being used for.
[2:32:45]
Then the fish capacity any
[2:32:46]
questions on that. There's
[2:32:49]
real When you from us to look
[2:32:52]
at the beginning of this back.
[2:32:52]
>> we're projecting our
[2:32:54]
students and all of that in
[2:32:58]
any of those projections. Ever
[2:33:03]
consider what? I mean.
[2:33:08]
Students are 8 and s e. Do you
[2:33:08]
ever project what that
[2:33:10]
population will be when we're
[2:33:15]
doing this kinda analogy.
[2:33:17]
Because for instance, if
[2:33:21]
you've had 200 and I'm just
[2:33:22]
get doing numbers, not
[2:33:26]
factual. 200 second graders
[2:33:28]
and ese. You're probably going
[2:33:30]
to have 200 and 3rd grader
[2:33:35]
ese. So do you project that as
[2:33:36]
well? Yeah, it's it's included
[2:33:39]
in that projection.
[2:33:41]
>> Because you're you're going
[2:33:42]
up with that overall number.
[2:33:42]
And you're correct. Vice
[2:33:46]
chair, you're then you're
[2:33:46]
breaking it down by Reid
[2:33:47]
levels because, of course, how
[2:33:50]
you allocate elementary
[2:33:52]
staffing resources is
[2:33:52]
different from how you
[2:33:53]
allocate middle and then
[2:33:59]
separately. Our esc director,
[2:34:01]
our early learning director
[2:34:03]
and are sole director are at
[2:34:04]
the table telling us what
[2:34:07]
their staffing needs are based
[2:34:09]
on coach rolling those
[2:34:10]
students along with the
[2:34:12]
system. So yes,
[2:34:13]
>> that's part of the process.
[2:34:18]
So there's gap trying. This
[2:34:20]
capacity and program capacity.
[2:34:26]
And right. And or members to
[2:34:29]
talk to legislators could say
[2:34:33]
we need to fix this gap. So we
[2:34:38]
can better forecast. Property
[2:34:42]
uses are. And what are
[2:34:43]
population of these programs
[2:34:45]
are going to What would you
[2:34:49]
say if you? Prayer going to
[2:34:52]
Tallahassee next month? This
[2:34:55]
is what would be a good ask.
[2:34:56]
Good question to ask them
[2:35:01]
about this down. Think this is
[2:35:02]
like first would be the
[2:35:03]
wrecking recognition of the
[2:35:06]
Pre-k programs and the the
[2:35:06]
Pre-k programs because right
[2:35:10]
now.
[2:35:12]
>> In fish, is no Pre-k were
[2:35:14]
forced to use one of the other
[2:35:15]
designated classroom spaces
[2:35:19]
for that. We care. Think it's
[2:35:20]
and doing your poll.
[2:35:25]
>> And yeah. I'm going
[2:35:27]
>> So the main and the esc.
[2:35:28]
>> Right? You're right.
[2:35:32]
Because and again, I would
[2:35:34]
want to I would want to. Lot
[2:35:38]
of data for you so that you
[2:35:40]
didn't so that you had, you
[2:35:40]
know, the numbers to kind of
[2:35:44]
back this up. But generally
[2:35:46]
speaking, we were seeing
[2:35:47]
larger percentage of students
[2:35:49]
who are ending up in
[2:35:50]
specialized programs, right?
[2:35:52]
And so that changes room
[2:35:57]
utilization when your mistress
[2:35:58]
Rinaldi made the comment he's
[2:36:00]
going to collect all of this.
[2:36:04]
Food from principals and
[2:36:05]
again, we we trust our
[2:36:07]
principles to make those just
[2:36:07]
so we don't sit up here and
[2:36:08]
say you have to use this room
[2:36:11]
for this grade level. There
[2:36:11]
are some regulations and
[2:36:12]
within those regulations we
[2:36:15]
trust the principals to
[2:36:18]
allocate rooms to grade levels
[2:36:18]
everything else but will do
[2:36:22]
this collection of data. So
[2:36:23]
that we have more updated or
[2:36:27]
are more realistic numbers.
[2:36:29]
And MR. Hanson and his team
[2:36:32]
are actually working on a
[2:36:35]
longer term solution. So that
[2:36:37]
every time a principal makes a
[2:36:39]
room utilization change, we're
[2:36:40]
actually going to be able to
[2:36:42]
track that in real time
[2:36:45]
because even impacts, you
[2:36:46]
know, again, not not to get
[2:36:50]
too into the weeds, but as
[2:36:53]
we're watching school number
[2:36:53]
sometimes we'll peers a school
[2:36:55]
that for whatever reason has
[2:36:58]
added 15 0rd graders. We need
[2:37:02]
to send them in allocation. We
[2:37:02]
then have to call the
[2:37:03]
principal and say, do you have
[2:37:06]
a room to put that teacher We
[2:37:07]
want all of that data right in
[2:37:10]
front of us in real time. So
[2:37:11]
MISTER Hinson as actually
[2:37:12]
building an interface so that
[2:37:15]
principles. We'll be able to
[2:37:17]
do those updates as they
[2:37:20]
happen so that every year when
[2:37:22]
we run, not every year when we
[2:37:24]
run, this periodic analysis
[2:37:28]
will have the most current
[2:37:30]
data. I think once we
[2:37:31]
establish that baseline, we're
[2:37:34]
going to be able to do a
[2:37:35]
better job of really
[2:37:39]
understanding. What's the
[2:37:40]
Riccio between program
[2:37:42]
capacity and fish capacity at
[2:37:45]
elementary, middle high and
[2:37:48]
then it will also allow us to
[2:37:50]
identify outliers within
[2:37:51]
district. Right. So if you
[2:37:52]
have a school where that ratio
[2:37:53]
is much worse than all the
[2:37:56]
other schools, them, you know,
[2:37:59]
we might want to walk that
[2:38:01]
school and see how spaces
[2:38:01]
being utilized because maybe
[2:38:04]
there's an efficiency. You
[2:38:04]
know, that we can suggest to
[2:38:06]
the principles. So it's just I
[2:38:11]
think part of as our system
[2:38:13]
growth rate our school
[2:38:13]
district grows right, putting
[2:38:16]
some of the systems in place
[2:38:17]
so that we're, you know,
[2:38:17]
making good efficient
[2:38:20]
decisions.
[2:38:21]
>> So when you do pull that,
[2:38:27]
can you? Give me a percentage
[2:38:29]
our population unc students
[2:38:30]
are. And what percentage the
[2:38:33]
Pre-k?
[2:38:36]
>> Population us. Be very
[2:38:36]
beneficial.
[2:38:37]
>> What we can give you that
[2:38:39]
data. Now, keep in mind the
[2:38:42]
nuances that if you take your
[2:38:46]
for example, if you take your
[2:38:47]
students with disabilities
[2:38:48]
population, right? Not a a
[2:38:50]
percentage of those students
[2:38:53]
are fully included, right?
[2:38:54]
Meaning there. There's no
[2:38:55]
extra space being used other
[2:38:57]
than what you typically
[2:38:59]
allocate, right. But then your
[2:39:00]
it's really yourself contain
[2:39:02]
your resource classrooms,
[2:39:03]
right? That sometimes you end
[2:39:04]
up having to add more of those
[2:39:06]
at a school and then that's
[2:39:09]
where you have. Your gap
[2:39:11]
between fish capacity and
[2:39:12]
program capacity, right?
[2:39:13]
Because you're running so
[2:39:20]
contained. Autism Spectrum
[2:39:22]
disorder program in a
[2:39:22]
classroom that was designed as
[2:39:24]
a regular elementary
[2:39:28]
classroom. So on paper, it
[2:39:32]
supports 22 students, but its
[2:39:32]
actual usage. It smacks Tim.
[2:39:33]
And so that your Delta of 12
[2:39:37]
seats, right? But
[2:39:39]
>> and touring with you, I've
[2:39:40]
that exact analogy. If you
[2:39:44]
have a room. That's built for
[2:39:47]
22 students. But you do have.
[2:39:52]
15 hi special needs. You need
[2:39:54]
that space. Absolutely.
[2:39:58]
Because factors.
[2:40:00]
>> That are associated with
[2:40:01]
that particular So this would
[2:40:02]
be very interesting for me.
[2:40:05]
Just see. And it, you know, if
[2:40:06]
you could even put it on this
[2:40:10]
slide just a little thing just
[2:40:12]
from it give it to me would be
[2:40:13]
high.
[2:40:14]
>> And then once that's done,
[2:40:14]
you board members, you'll see
[2:40:16]
the program capacity because
[2:40:17]
will take the capacity charts
[2:40:19]
and will actually add. That is
[2:40:21]
Kyle So you'll have that for
[2:40:21]
every school.
[2:40:24]
>> That's perfect. I think,
[2:40:25]
>> again, knowing that that
[2:40:26]
number will change, We're
[2:40:27]
going to take one step shot.
[2:40:28]
We're going to go with that
[2:40:31]
for this exercise. And then in
[2:40:31]
the future, it will be easy to
[2:40:34]
see the updates once we are
[2:40:34]
done right.
[2:40:35]
>> But I mean, like you say,
[2:40:37]
you had to do it. Snapshot of
[2:40:39]
OCTOBER. When you got the
[2:40:44]
data, the second. Same thing.
[2:40:45]
If you do the same thing
[2:40:45]
without a second comment would
[2:40:51]
be. Unless they throw out the
[2:40:52]
3rd. Then all of a sudden that
[2:40:54]
changes. For this, it would
[2:40:59]
be. At workshop particular.
[2:41:04]
Timeline. MR. On a race point,
[2:41:08]
which is excellent about.
[2:41:08]
Bringing things to Tallahassee
[2:41:09]
because site will be there
[2:41:14]
with her so should be focused
[2:41:15]
more on the vpk and the south
[2:41:17]
contain.
[2:41:18]
>> what we should be looking
[2:41:21]
at in terms of.
[2:41:24]
>> Of those. The those are the
[2:41:25]
2 elements that Robert Lee
[2:41:26]
have, the biggest and they can
[2:41:27]
on vs Euro Graham Johnson,
[2:41:31]
thank you. And that To add on
[2:41:33]
to that.
[2:41:36]
>> Adding the bp It has been
[2:41:40]
on chopper legislative
[2:41:41]
platform for years. And it's
[2:41:45]
just. This might. Their
[2:41:55]
attention to this one
[2:41:56]
>> Okay. Before we get into
[2:41:57]
the charts, the big thing is
[2:41:59]
on the charts. We're using
[2:42:03]
fish capacity today will
[2:42:03]
eventually evolve to have a
[2:42:04]
column show program capacity
[2:42:05]
probably the next time we
[2:42:09]
meet. We've already kind of
[2:42:11]
touched on this. You know,
[2:42:13]
operating a school at 100%
[2:42:14]
official capacity or above
[2:42:16]
really impacts. This student
[2:42:22]
experience. Dining. We touched
[2:42:22]
on that a little bit. Our
[2:42:24]
corridors for safety and
[2:42:26]
security and one of the board
[2:42:27]
members brought up the queuing
[2:42:29]
of the parents as well. I
[2:42:32]
mean, as you go, the queuing
[2:42:34]
gets longer. So I mean that
[2:42:36]
there are elements why you
[2:42:40]
really don't want to be
[2:42:40]
significantly over that 100%
[2:42:45]
fish capacity. Typically, as I
[2:42:47]
stated the program capacity at
[2:42:49]
the elementary level will be
[2:42:51]
significantly below the oea
[2:42:51]
does a little manipulation of
[2:42:52]
the numbers that are show you
[2:42:56]
in the charts that that help
[2:42:57]
at the middle and high school
[2:42:59]
level. But typically they they
[2:43:00]
still are below no matter how
[2:43:02]
they've manipulated it. And
[2:43:03]
then from the standpoint of
[2:43:05]
the utilization of the
[2:43:11]
portables, can use portables
[2:43:13]
for capacity. Our average age
[2:43:16]
for the portables. I think we
[2:43:17]
say 35 plus I was generous and
[2:43:18]
went back to the deal. We've
[2:43:21]
found that it's 41 years at
[2:43:24]
this point. Right the average
[2:43:25]
age of a portable in Manatee
[2:43:28]
County schools. So I they're
[2:43:31]
they are kind of a maintenance
[2:43:33]
burden. In addition to that,
[2:43:34]
the utilization, if you have
[2:43:38]
any adverse weather. All you
[2:43:41]
know, circulation is exterior
[2:43:42]
at that point so that there
[2:43:46]
are a lot of reasons that.
[2:43:48]
It's a good temporary
[2:43:51]
resolution. However, from a
[2:43:51]
long-term standpoint, the
[2:43:52]
utilization of Portables
[2:43:55]
probably is not the best way
[2:43:56]
to address any capacity issues
[2:44:02]
that you I just say. A
[2:44:04]
teaching time the classroom
[2:44:05]
and ahead, portable for 2
[2:44:05]
years affect my favorite. But
[2:44:09]
that's just me.
[2:44:10]
>> you could feel only thing
[2:44:13]
from a lot of teachers love it
[2:44:13]
because it's a controlled
[2:44:14]
environment. I I've heard that
[2:44:16]
Medicaid of
[2:44:17]
>> I was just curious if we
[2:44:17]
had to buy a new one. You
[2:44:19]
know, the cost of a new one
[2:44:21]
appear to know. You don't
[2:44:26]
know.
[2:44:26]
>> you're probably right at
[2:44:30]
least 100 and easy 50 to
[2:44:37]
200,000 Medicaid, one portable
[2:44:37]
>> counting. Moving county
[2:44:41]
moving graphite were.
[2:44:42]
>> They bring elector to Libya
[2:44:46]
all plumbing.
[2:44:46]
>> Well, we could use the
[2:44:48]
example down doughtery of what
[2:44:49]
we did not enter at that was
[2:44:52]
expensive. One of one of them
[2:44:57]
was my classroom
[2:44:58]
>> thank you for me. He's
[2:45:00]
like, air-conditioning and I
[2:45:01]
didn't have to walk all the
[2:45:01]
way to the building. Thank
[2:45:06]
you. Work for there go.
[2:45:07]
>> Okay. So we'll go through
[2:45:12]
the first chart here and are
[2:45:13]
kind of go left to and go to
[2:45:17]
the different columns. Live
[2:45:18]
starting at the left. We've
[2:45:21]
got the school name. We've got
[2:45:23]
the year enrollment as 10th.
[2:45:25]
So that survey too enrollment
[2:45:27]
in for a nation. And then
[2:45:28]
you've got the dia. We
[2:45:31]
assigned to fish permanent
[2:45:32]
stations there. And you can
[2:45:35]
see for the take a look at
[2:45:39]
able it's 5.77 and then
[2:45:42]
permits to the capacity is
[2:45:43]
5.77 Again, the reason we show
[2:45:45]
it twice is if it was a middle
[2:45:46]
school, they would have
[2:45:49]
discounted it by 90%. If it's
[2:45:50]
a high school, they would have
[2:45:53]
discounted by 95%. And I don't
[2:45:55]
know where those numbers came
[2:45:58]
from, that is just been the
[2:45:59]
way that they kind of address
[2:46:02]
the program issues that those
[2:46:04]
2 levels and then the next
[2:46:05]
county column gives you
[2:46:09]
whether you're over or under
[2:46:10]
capacity and then the
[2:46:11]
percentage of food fish
[2:46:15]
capacity. And then the
[2:46:15]
enrollment we called the
[2:46:18]
capacity status. And we use
[2:46:21]
occurring system here. Red is
[2:46:25]
100 over 100% capacity. Orange
[2:46:28]
falling between 95 100. Yellow
[2:46:33]
is 90 to 95 light green and is
[2:46:35]
90 to 95 and then dark dark
[2:46:39]
green is 85 percent or below.
[2:46:42]
And then we turn that over
[2:46:44]
capacity approaching capacity
[2:46:47]
near capacity and then below
[2:46:48]
capacities. So that's kind of
[2:46:51]
the coloring methodology that
[2:46:52]
we've used here. And then we
[2:46:54]
translate that into the next
[2:46:56]
slide, which will be the
[2:46:57]
mapping to show the locations
[2:46:59]
of these campuses and what
[2:47:03]
their status is. And then the
[2:47:09]
blue section the numbers of
[2:47:10]
portable portables. The to
[2:47:12]
read sections are are campuses
[2:47:16]
that are under construction.
[2:47:17]
So we brought those portables.
[2:47:21]
And so they're just dedicated
[2:47:22]
for the construction project
[2:47:25]
as a swing space as we do
[2:47:26]
classroom buildings we move
[2:47:27]
passes into the portables and
[2:47:30]
out of the portables. You can
[2:47:32]
see at the elementary level
[2:47:39]
over wrong. At 85%. We've got
[2:47:41]
6 red campuses. Golan Harvey
[2:47:43]
go up being at 140%. Harvey
[2:47:48]
being at 157%. Mills. Is that
[2:47:50]
105 moody? Is that 105? So
[2:47:55]
both of those are red and then
[2:47:56]
Rodgers Garden and Williams at
[2:47:58]
one on one and 103%. So all of
[2:48:02]
those exceed that 100%. Been
[2:48:03]
oranges. Bay. Sure, there are
[2:48:07]
96% and then raw in palms. You
[2:48:09]
are yellow and they're right
[2:48:12]
around 91% as well. So you can
[2:48:15]
see the colors and you can see
[2:48:17]
that now couple things to
[2:48:18]
realize when you're looking at
[2:48:22]
campuses that are maybe at 96%
[2:48:29]
or 97% is the capacity. Entry.
[2:48:30]
Schools is right around 705
[2:48:34]
students stations. So just by
[2:48:35]
one classroom space, which
[2:48:39]
would be 21 to 22 students. On
[2:48:41]
average, you would have a 3%
[2:48:43]
swing. So even if you're
[2:48:43]
sitting at 97% thinking you're
[2:48:47]
in good shape, all of a sudden
[2:48:49]
you get, you know, classroom
[2:48:53]
of children that un role your
[2:48:54]
and your over the 100% market.
[2:48:56]
That point. So that that's
[2:48:57]
something to keep in mind that
[2:49:01]
you those that are kind of on
[2:49:02]
the verge. Ken, in couple
[2:49:03]
weeks time easily swing back
[2:49:08]
and forth. Any yes, we do.
[2:49:11]
Have we got a question expect?
[2:49:11]
>> I just wanted to clarify
[2:49:14]
your first yellow column. Per
[2:49:19]
student station right? Is the
[2:49:19]
number.
[2:49:20]
>> That is the that is the
[2:49:21]
fish number, correct? Second
[2:49:24]
is our program program pass?
[2:49:27]
No, no, no. The second is the
[2:49:28]
fish number. The way that the
[2:49:31]
or the fish capacity the way
[2:49:32]
dia Week, how to calculate
[2:49:34]
when to the middle and high,
[2:49:36]
you'll see that that number
[2:49:38]
changes. But for the
[2:49:39]
elementary school be always
[2:49:42]
says year fish. Past year.
[2:49:44]
Fish in your fish capacity are
[2:49:47]
both at 100%. So it's the same
[2:49:48]
number. And when we go to
[2:49:50]
middle and high, I'll show you
[2:49:51]
where that swings current.
[2:49:54]
Yeah, yeah, because I'm not
[2:49:56]
connecting are the reason for
[2:49:57]
the difference that you're
[2:49:57]
going to see it middle and
[2:50:01]
high schools because
[2:50:02]
>> and middle and high school
[2:50:04]
students change classes. So
[2:50:05]
there's efficiency where as in
[2:50:05]
elementary, pretty much in
[2:50:06]
that class time.
[2:50:13]
>> I'm more. I'm but don't let
[2:50:15]
title of that call. Per
[2:50:19]
student station. And then I
[2:50:21]
mean, both of them say student
[2:50:23]
station capacity so that the
[2:50:27]
only difference
[2:50:30]
>> Patients. You won't see a
[2:50:30]
different different at the
[2:50:32]
elementary when we get into
[2:50:33]
ok, why you all right at it
[2:50:37]
from I'm trying to because I'm
[2:50:41]
they
[2:50:41]
>> So from like, if I were
[2:50:42]
just looking at this, not
[2:50:46]
knowing. An outside
[2:50:46]
consultant, I just grabbed
[2:50:48]
this for the first time. I
[2:50:49]
don't much about the county. I
[2:50:50]
don't know much about the
[2:50:52]
traffic just kind of looking
[2:50:53]
at this big picture from
[2:50:55]
business standpoint. On that
[2:50:59]
on the call on the right side
[2:50:59]
and Roma versus capacities
[2:51:05]
yellow. Journey of school or
[2:51:09]
below capacity. And then if
[2:51:11]
and I made arbitrary number, I
[2:51:17]
just look, that 75%. 1, 2, 3,
[2:51:21]
4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 schools are
[2:51:23]
below 75%. And then on the
[2:51:26]
other side and the blue
[2:51:27]
percent of capacity, they're
[2:51:31]
actually 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and
[2:51:31]
of 12 schools that are
[2:51:33]
capacity. I would say. Why are
[2:51:35]
we building all these those
[2:51:38]
schools win win? The big
[2:51:40]
picture here is. We have a lot
[2:51:42]
of schools that are capacity
[2:51:44]
and you have Kenner which side
[2:51:48]
you looked at Senator close
[2:51:48]
schools that are actually
[2:51:50]
below 75%. So and no. Is this
[2:51:54]
a good time to? At least talk
[2:51:55]
about although later on the
[2:51:58]
conversation there. I saw some
[2:51:58]
flood about traffic and we
[2:52:00]
really can't move. Could the
[2:52:03]
around camp it MAY be around.
[2:52:06]
But just a big I'm just
[2:52:07]
curious. But I think that when
[2:52:09]
you think about a go to the
[2:52:10]
next slide, if you go to where
[2:52:13]
you begin to look to see.
[2:52:17]
>> That a lot of it is driven
[2:52:18]
by geography right now, which
[2:52:21]
is east of 75 is where we have
[2:52:23]
a reds like greens and yellows
[2:52:27]
that which is West is where we
[2:52:30]
have with the majority of the
[2:52:33]
darker greens. So I mean that
[2:52:33]
it's kind it's specific. We it
[2:52:40]
it isn't. Consistent across.
[2:52:42]
But when you begin to look at
[2:52:43]
it, geographically that that's
[2:52:47]
when you can see that you've
[2:52:48]
got pockets of development,
[2:52:49]
which will will talk about a
[2:52:50]
little later later on that are
[2:52:55]
driving the red that and are
[2:52:56]
not driving the dark greens
[2:52:58]
from the standpoint of growth.
[2:53:00]
>> Do we the border?
[2:53:03]
>> All of us want to open the
[2:53:06]
can of worms that about
[2:53:10]
closing speaking can work
[2:53:10]
about closings have on this
[2:53:14]
closing schools or not because
[2:53:15]
from nose, the reality I know
[2:53:17]
we did backflip Oso about what
[2:53:18]
my point is is that later on
[2:53:19]
are also going to see where
[2:53:22]
say, you after we.
[2:53:23]
>> There are 340 million
[2:53:25]
dollar cops. We're kind out of
[2:53:28]
borrowing capacity and, you
[2:53:30]
know, I just want everyone to
[2:53:31]
have it. We want to make those
[2:53:31]
painful that might be do we
[2:53:32]
want to make this part of that
[2:53:39]
conversation? Or
[2:53:41]
>> I you know, again, we
[2:53:42]
showed that is one of the
[2:53:46]
reasons why you attendance
[2:53:46]
changes. It is very
[2:53:47]
interesting because cheat, you
[2:53:50]
know, MR. Tatum. You've got.
[2:53:51]
Again, not from a program
[2:53:53]
capacity, right from a fish
[2:53:55]
capacity standpoint. You have
[2:53:58]
3400 open seats around the
[2:54:01]
district, but about 2200. Of
[2:54:03]
those 3400 are on just 8
[2:54:08]
campuses right? So. Two-thirds
[2:54:11]
of our open space is on
[2:54:12]
quarter of our campuses.
[2:54:13]
That's that's that's the
[2:54:18]
fundamental problem right? The
[2:54:19]
you when you talk about
[2:54:20]
schools, were your under
[2:54:25]
capacity? If you're really
[2:54:28]
talking about the operating
[2:54:28]
costs, right, word the word
[2:54:32]
that general fund costs.
[2:54:33]
Doesn't really impact cost of
[2:54:36]
construction so I think that's
[2:54:38]
always the struggle to to 2
[2:54:38]
different. You know, 2
[2:54:41]
different pots of money that
[2:54:44]
are impacting the budget as
[2:54:45]
whole, but the but if the
[2:54:46]
board wanted to talk about
[2:54:53]
that. This is the time not not
[2:54:55]
necessarily But if you want to
[2:54:55]
put that on the road map
[2:54:58]
because obviously that impacts
[2:54:58]
if we get to the point where
[2:55:00]
we start drawing in the
[2:55:04]
computer program right, the
[2:55:04]
boards direction, their
[2:55:08]
impacts. What we
[2:55:09]
>> So but it would be to the
[2:55:12]
right doctor was on the
[2:55:13]
operating side. Would save
[2:55:13]
some money by not having have
[2:55:16]
a principal uncertain of
[2:55:17]
spreading false utility that
[2:55:18]
stuff. But then on the capital
[2:55:20]
side to I mean, I don't again,
[2:55:22]
I don't know what the savings,
[2:55:22]
the millions or 10's of
[2:55:24]
millions, but you know, to
[2:55:29]
keep school open. Then
[2:55:29]
eventually you do have to
[2:55:30]
invest capital funds and
[2:55:34]
replace the hvac systems n and
[2:55:35]
we saw what was happening with
[2:55:35]
our underline water heating
[2:55:39]
systems. And so, you know,
[2:55:40]
that there is capital
[2:55:41]
expenditures that have to go
[2:55:42]
along with maintaining as open
[2:55:45]
and maintain them along some
[2:55:50]
minimal operating
[2:55:57]
>> 100%. I mean, 100% behind
[2:56:00]
the reality is there's no way
[2:56:00]
and I know we're not a
[2:56:01]
business, but we would never
[2:56:04]
run a business.
[2:56:05]
>> And have a restaurant or a
[2:56:06]
store in a location and really
[2:56:11]
getting 50%. Of our of our of
[2:56:12]
our sales and still haven't
[2:56:16]
fully staffed. Knocking down
[2:56:18]
and build a new I mean, it's
[2:56:20]
it just it's not it's it's
[2:56:25]
just. And this isn't y'all
[2:56:25]
city here. This has been
[2:56:27]
problem in this district for a
[2:56:31]
long time. Right? And I'll be
[2:56:32]
honest with you is the first
[2:56:34]
time to someone's head cut.
[2:56:34]
Does it appear do this
[2:56:35]
presentation right? They can
[2:56:36]
say we need to rezone. It's
[2:56:39]
got to happen instead of doing
[2:56:43]
something up. And so I this
[2:56:45]
has been an issue for a long
[2:56:46]
time and I get that the West
[2:56:49]
Side is we've talked about is
[2:56:50]
the issue from elementary,
[2:56:51]
middle and high school. Maybe
[2:56:55]
not want to do And at one
[2:56:56]
elementary duty. But most of
[2:56:58]
them, that is where the
[2:57:02]
population. Issue is and I
[2:57:05]
just I don't know the answer.
[2:57:06]
If the closed the shutdown,
[2:57:06]
whatever. Don't know that
[2:57:09]
theater right to consolidate
[2:57:13]
because you don't want ever
[2:57:16]
get rid who who said I don't
[2:57:17]
MR. Diamond Misspent. By the
[2:57:18]
same way, I want to get rid
[2:57:21]
of. The land and could. You
[2:57:24]
never know what happens right
[2:57:25]
but it's an interesting it's
[2:57:28]
interesting. Id. I think I
[2:57:31]
think it has to be. I think it
[2:57:35]
has to talked about. Yeah,
[2:57:35]
street today which won all
[2:57:37]
that kind of craziness and go.
[2:57:40]
Go bonkers here. But but I but
[2:57:40]
I think it has to be, in my
[2:57:43]
opinion. It has to be
[2:57:45]
something that look at and
[2:57:47]
just see is an option not
[2:57:50]
going do it. Because the
[2:57:53]
reality is. You would do it in
[2:57:57]
any other venture.
[2:58:00]
>> It's just not sustainable.
[2:58:01]
This you are bound forever.
[2:58:05]
You that. It's different.
[2:58:06]
>> And looking at can Yeah,
[2:58:08]
that's right. Thank you.
[2:58:13]
Looking at this chart. And of
[2:58:15]
course, going based on what
[2:58:17]
you say. 100% fish is is over
[2:58:19]
is basically with overcapacity
[2:58:19]
for us.
[2:58:23]
>> Because of allotments case
[2:58:23]
everything else. What would
[2:58:30]
be? Ideal? In terms of percent
[2:58:31]
fish capacity at our school.
[2:58:32]
What would you see as ideal?
[2:58:37]
Would you want to that? 85%,
[2:58:40]
80%, 90%. Do we have an idea
[2:58:41]
as to what would be ideal so
[2:58:43]
that we can still have new
[2:58:47]
students come in. To those
[2:58:47]
schools without overburdening
[2:58:53]
them.
[2:58:54]
>> In previous rezonings that
[2:58:58]
I've done, we tried to set the
[2:59:03]
goal at around 90%. And then
[2:59:05]
as we moved the lines, we if
[2:59:05]
we got under 90%, we were
[2:59:10]
happy. We went over recent. We
[2:59:14]
kind of re-evaluated again. At
[2:59:17]
90% is what we set the goal.
[2:59:20]
Now, what when we go through
[2:59:22]
this survey with the
[2:59:24]
principals to figure out where
[2:59:26]
the program capacity that at
[2:59:26]
that point we'll get a real
[2:59:30]
good snapshot of, you know,
[2:59:34]
who is we MAY see a lot of
[2:59:36]
yellow and orange schools turn
[2:59:37]
to red on because of the way
[2:59:39]
that they're being required to
[2:59:44]
utilize the facility. Just as
[2:59:45]
general rule of farm and
[2:59:48]
that's where it is. We're
[2:59:49]
trying to work around a little
[2:59:53]
bit under 90 around 90%.
[2:59:56]
>> And I think that's a good
[2:59:57]
benchmark. I think the other
[2:59:59]
challenge is that it's hard to
[3:00:03]
have a universal answer when
[3:00:07]
you have a or new growth
[3:00:09]
region and a hyper growth
[3:00:10]
reaching right. In other
[3:00:11]
words, if if when we see if we
[3:00:15]
sit down and we draw. The
[3:00:18]
right Ranch Elementary zone to
[3:00:21]
immediately be at 90%
[3:00:23]
capacity. We will be back 2
[3:00:23]
years right in fixing that
[3:00:25]
because we know it's hyper
[3:00:27]
growth. So I think when we're
[3:00:30]
growing, we're opening new
[3:00:30]
schools.
[3:00:33]
>> do.
[3:00:34]
>> You probably want to be on
[3:00:36]
the lower side of that. So
[3:00:37]
that growing with the
[3:00:38]
community as those schools
[3:00:42]
open. The other variable is
[3:00:46]
vpk from the perspective of we
[3:00:50]
we MAY want to set up our
[3:00:51]
schools to be able to
[3:00:54]
accommodate more Vpk n when
[3:00:55]
the time's right. We're going
[3:00:57]
to bring you both some
[3:01:00]
existing in some future
[3:01:02]
possibilities. But obviously
[3:01:02]
that will reduce that program
[3:01:07]
capacity. You know, if, for
[3:01:12]
example you know, if we
[3:01:13]
decided that we wanted vpk at
[3:01:16]
every available at every
[3:01:17]
elementary school at x number
[3:01:21]
of seats, right, that would
[3:01:27]
universally reduce our program
[3:01:29]
then when we going to look at
[3:01:30]
the 10 and soon revisions, we
[3:01:30]
would want all that factored
[3:01:34]
in when we draw those right?
[3:01:35]
>> But again, Mr, Rinaldi
[3:01:36]
said, if you start with that
[3:01:38]
assumption. Then you're
[3:01:43]
already bringing those. Pieces
[3:01:43]
down because, again, you're
[3:01:46]
probably using full elementary
[3:01:46]
classrooms and that are
[3:01:47]
carrying on on the first
[3:01:50]
floor, 18 seats. But you're
[3:01:52]
probably not putting a team.
[3:01:57]
Four-year-olds in those rooms.
[3:01:58]
And certainly in the e p k
[3:01:58]
units, you're definitely
[3:02:03]
putting the And so I think
[3:02:05]
that's part of it. Part of I
[3:02:06]
think our work together board
[3:02:08]
is you're going to give us
[3:02:11]
some point some parameters.
[3:02:15]
Some guardrails to. So that
[3:02:17]
when going to the maps program
[3:02:19]
and start figuring out what we
[3:02:22]
can do. We're not bringing you
[3:02:23]
back things that you already
[3:02:25]
know or acceptable. Right? So,
[3:02:26]
for example, if the board
[3:02:29]
wanted to say, hey, we want to
[3:02:30]
reserve 3 space is that every
[3:02:33]
elementary school for Vpk,
[3:02:34]
then we looked at it as a
[3:02:35]
perimeter upfronts right. Take
[3:02:38]
take 3 rooms out of the fish
[3:02:42]
peace. And obviously that's
[3:02:45]
going to at a school where you
[3:02:45]
already have lower capacity
[3:02:46]
based on the zone. It's not
[3:02:48]
going to change or a much
[3:02:50]
trying, but in our high growth
[3:02:53]
areas, if we set aside 3
[3:02:54]
classrooms, that zone sizes
[3:02:57]
going to have to shrink. To
[3:02:58]
make that vial right. So
[3:02:59]
that's some of the kind of
[3:03:00]
interplay that we'll have to
[3:03:05]
have in the coming months.
[3:03:07]
>> Good so then we're looking
[3:03:08]
at this For example, the 2 new
[3:03:09]
elementary schools coming
[3:03:12]
online in the year and a half.
[3:03:13]
We wouldn't want to put them
[3:03:15]
in 90%. We want we want them
[3:03:17]
to be at maybe 80%. So as
[3:03:19]
continue with their growth
[3:03:21]
because we know there's going
[3:03:21]
to be more houses concert
[3:03:25]
always more houses then that
[3:03:26]
we were already prepared for
[3:03:30]
that. When that happens night.
[3:03:31]
>> correct. And that's where
[3:03:33]
you know, again, you're trying
[3:03:34]
to forecast your future, where
[3:03:37]
you're going to be fight
[3:03:37]
because
[3:03:38]
>> if we go through this
[3:03:41]
process, we we don't want to.
[3:03:42]
We don't want to do this. Put
[3:03:44]
people through put our
[3:03:45]
community through this and
[3:03:48]
then be back here in 24 months
[3:03:48]
saying let's do it again
[3:03:49]
writing, ideally, whatever
[3:03:52]
decisions we make have some
[3:03:53]
staying power big And so, you
[3:03:58]
know. And again, that's where
[3:03:59]
the forecasting becomes
[3:04:01]
important, even though it's
[3:04:02]
very difficult.
[3:04:02]
>> Okay. So then when we then
[3:04:05]
look at the schools that are
[3:04:09]
below capacity
[3:04:09]
>> and MR. Tatum who brought
[3:04:11]
the point about possibly
[3:04:12]
closing. But then when we look
[3:04:15]
at, if you will you put them
[3:04:21]
at least on The un. Now, Anna
[3:04:22]
Maria is a very small schools
[3:04:24]
out there on the island. But
[3:04:25]
for we were to close that we
[3:04:26]
have to bust all of those
[3:04:30]
kids. In the town with 6 other
[3:04:34]
resources and time and traffic
[3:04:34]
and
[3:04:34]
>> all of those other things
[3:04:38]
as well. So yet this is this
[3:04:41]
is this fun.
[3:04:43]
>> But if you look at like
[3:04:45]
bayshore in Moody, you've got
[3:04:49]
red in orange there. But
[3:04:51]
you've got solid green
[3:04:54]
continual around So that.
[3:04:56]
>> sure you've got the ability
[3:04:59]
by adjusting those lines to
[3:05:03]
bring in moody down and
[3:05:04]
bringing others dark greens.
[3:05:05]
So that's part of the
[3:05:07]
manipulation that the map that
[3:05:09]
it for I think okay.
[3:05:12]
>> But to the original that
[3:05:14]
number, the better one. I
[3:05:21]
think you. What I have set
[3:05:23]
first, one of the things I
[3:05:23]
said when I first came on this
[3:05:25]
board. If you look at Manatee
[3:05:33]
l. O ne go. And Sam will set.
[3:05:34]
The distance from Manatee
[3:05:36]
Delta Saml set. Wright mileage
[3:05:41]
Wise. But then 5 miles. If if
[3:05:47]
I my math right? And 2. All 3
[3:05:49]
of those schools below
[3:05:50]
capacity. Alright,
[3:05:54]
significant. Significantly.
[3:06:01]
The manatee Capacities at 7.31
[3:06:04]
They're only 4.52 Cracked.
[3:06:05]
>> All 3 of those schools are
[3:06:08]
near the so 100 mark capacity
[3:06:11]
levels. But they're all he
[3:06:18]
there for 500. 5, 7, day 4, So
[3:06:21]
to your point. Dr my song,
[3:06:29]
then it becomes.
[3:06:29]
>> Basically maintain
[3:06:30]
facilities that just Nico
[3:06:34]
project. Did. Reallocated. I
[3:06:35]
don't remember how many
[3:06:41]
millions for. Manatee MISTER
[3:06:42]
James White, sometimes you get
[3:06:43]
a look at that kind of thing,
[3:06:48]
too. For the future. How much?
[3:06:52]
Capacity it's going drop. I
[3:06:52]
mean, we we all talk about how
[3:06:54]
much is going to go up. But do
[3:06:57]
we ever look at the potential
[3:06:58]
dropping capacity at some of
[3:07:04]
these? Right to drop it,
[3:07:05]
right? I'm sorry. Thank you.
[3:07:10]
Drop in enrollment at these
[3:07:14]
schools that are way the
[3:07:15]
interiors. But, are looking
[3:07:17]
because at that when you go to
[3:07:18]
the staffing level, right,
[3:07:19]
you're at an elementary
[3:07:20]
school, your 5th grade classes
[3:07:23]
leaving.
[3:07:24]
>> The school. But you have a
[3:07:25]
new group of kindergartners
[3:07:29]
coming in. That that's always
[3:07:30]
the unknown is your
[3:07:32]
kindergarten. You were.
[3:07:37]
Enrollment k and one meaning
[3:07:38]
future one 2 is always going
[3:07:40]
to be a better predictor. What
[3:07:43]
came might look like in your
[3:07:44]
5th grade leaving. So that is
[3:07:45]
one thing we're looking at
[3:07:46]
because keep in mind, staffing
[3:07:50]
is being adjusted. If the
[3:07:50]
school's enrollment declining.
[3:07:52]
First of all, from a
[3:07:53]
application of teacher
[3:07:56]
perspective, right? You're
[3:07:58]
making those adjustments. But
[3:07:59]
then our staffing model also
[3:08:03]
has some bands of that related
[3:08:04]
to school and how that
[3:08:07]
generates non instructional
[3:08:08]
support. Right? So how many
[3:08:10]
people are working in the
[3:08:13]
front office? How many reading
[3:08:14]
para professionals are there?
[3:08:16]
All of that formula driven. So
[3:08:18]
yes, that is getting looked at
[3:08:19]
on the operating side. You're
[3:08:21]
making those adjustments down.
[3:08:25]
When you see enrollment
[3:08:26]
declines. I do think MISTER
[3:08:27]
Tatum makes a good point about
[3:08:32]
regardless of capacity. You
[3:08:34]
have maintenance costs, for
[3:08:35]
the better good. They're going
[3:08:38]
into under enrolled campuses.
[3:08:40]
In. So that is the tradeoff.
[3:08:45]
>> at just like at Fowler.
[3:08:46]
Bowers enrollment right now as
[3:08:51]
that. Bring on the South end.
[3:08:57]
And Rodgers is overcapacity.
[3:08:59]
Am I this between those 2
[3:09:07]
schools mileage rises. Not
[3:09:10]
That's why we're doing this is
[3:09:10]
why we're all right. So as we
[3:09:11]
get deeper into this, that
[3:09:13]
will be the question is okay.
[3:09:15]
If you have that, if you have
[3:09:18]
to if you have to adjacent
[3:09:18]
attendance zone.
[3:09:19]
>> that right? And one is over
[3:09:23]
and the other is under. You
[3:09:24]
move that lowing the computer
[3:09:26]
will tell us what the impact
[3:09:27]
is of the line And the
[3:09:30]
question is, is that data? Do
[3:09:31]
you believe that data will
[3:09:32]
hold up 5 years from now? If
[3:09:35]
you move that line a little
[3:09:36]
bit.
[3:09:36]
>> And then there's some
[3:09:38]
change to the strip. In Lee's
[3:09:40]
point in home sales, home
[3:09:44]
values or whatever you could
[3:09:46]
make that change and just end
[3:09:48]
up slipping. The 2 schools
[3:09:49]
capacity numbers rebel 2 years
[3:09:52]
down the road because we don't
[3:09:54]
control where people live or
[3:09:54]
where they moved to were
[3:09:57]
already have that right. So so
[3:10:00]
that's why sometimes. If
[3:10:04]
you've got to adjacent schools
[3:10:05]
and they're not that apart
[3:10:05]
from each other, it MAY be
[3:10:07]
better leaving it alone.
[3:10:08]
Because trying to make it
[3:10:11]
perfect on paper. It's not
[3:10:13]
it's not it's ever going to be
[3:10:15]
perfect. That? So it's a
[3:10:15]
question really of going
[3:10:18]
through and figuring out. How
[3:10:21]
do you make it better? And one
[3:10:23]
of the things will look at is
[3:10:24]
making it better. How many
[3:10:28]
students are affected right?
[3:10:29]
Because we might be able on a
[3:10:32]
map to make it better. But you
[3:10:33]
might decide that that impacts
[3:10:36]
to many families. So that's
[3:10:37]
why we have to. That's why we
[3:10:39]
go through the process and and
[3:10:40]
>> and part of this line of
[3:10:42]
and my mind, pointing out some
[3:10:48]
of these. And capacity levels
[3:10:53]
is. To let families know
[3:10:55]
things are going to have to
[3:10:57]
change And it's just not out
[3:11:02]
it's an. Most districts are
[3:11:03]
going to have to have some
[3:11:05]
kind of a change. Some MAY be
[3:11:09]
a small little tweak. So maybe
[3:11:13]
a shock. But I just I just
[3:11:17]
want our families and
[3:11:20]
community communities to
[3:11:21]
understand that we have to
[3:11:21]
look at this a long-term
[3:11:25]
thing. That really got come up
[3:11:31]
with. Okay. That's What's
[3:11:34]
>> Your comments about like if
[3:11:36]
we make changes now and we
[3:11:37]
don't make good decisions and
[3:11:38]
the kind of get it wrong can
[3:11:38]
affect things obviously down
[3:11:41]
the road. But you do have the
[3:11:42]
capacity, right is the
[3:11:45]
superintendent, let's say made
[3:11:46]
a school zone change and it
[3:11:47]
didn't work out the way we
[3:11:48]
thought. I mean, kind of like
[3:11:50]
what you're doing with go live
[3:11:51]
in freedom and unit there,
[3:11:53]
ones these Tuesday's you can
[3:11:55]
the saws that later down the
[3:11:56]
road, he have to make the best
[3:11:57]
decisions with the information
[3:12:00]
we have now You know, if we
[3:12:02]
got it wrong here and there
[3:12:04]
you can. Saw that little bit
[3:12:06]
that not true, that authority.
[3:12:07]
Yes. And, you know, I mean, we
[3:12:08]
have other tools, right?
[3:12:11]
Scoots school choice is one
[3:12:14]
ultimately in the case of go
[3:12:15]
at Harvey this But we we had
[3:12:17]
to close to new enrollment.
[3:12:19]
You've given me that authority
[3:12:20]
and policy, although when I
[3:12:21]
arrived here, that authority
[3:12:24]
was not in policy, right, that
[3:12:24]
that was.
[3:12:25]
>> One the first things I did
[3:12:26]
was go say, ok, with how are
[3:12:29]
these 2 schools? And then we
[3:12:30]
have that discussion. I think
[3:12:32]
after my entry plan that there
[3:12:34]
were some things that maybe
[3:12:36]
we're missing and policy and
[3:12:36]
is a good thing that we put
[3:12:40]
that because I'm not sure what
[3:12:42]
we would have done without the
[3:12:43]
authority to close to new
[3:12:45]
enrollment. So, yes, I mean,
[3:12:47]
there are some things we we
[3:12:49]
can do. You know, at the
[3:12:49]
margins. But my point is
[3:12:53]
simply You know, again, that
[3:12:55]
step one in the process,
[3:12:58]
certainly one of our goals is
[3:13:02]
to do this, such that you
[3:13:04]
don't end up with a student
[3:13:05]
achievement student MAY have
[3:13:05]
to change schools as a result
[3:13:06]
of this process while they're
[3:13:09]
in elementary. We would
[3:13:10]
certainly hope they don't have
[3:13:13]
to do it twice right we'll see
[3:13:17]
what happens.
[3:13:18]
>> That's my only point is
[3:13:19]
obviously want to look at
[3:13:20]
unintended consequences. But
[3:13:25]
yet Do the best you can with
[3:13:26]
the information you have now
[3:13:29]
and then. Go to the future and
[3:13:31]
use your tools that you have a
[3:13:33]
future great things as you
[3:13:38]
like them. Think.
[3:13:40]
>> Okay. Now we've shown
[3:13:40]
graphically through through
[3:13:41]
the maps. The different
[3:13:46]
colors. A highlight for you
[3:13:47]
that the blue line that goes
[3:13:49]
down through the middle left
[3:13:51]
the county's future
[3:13:55]
development area boundary. So
[3:13:57]
that that's the line. I think
[3:14:00]
been discussion at the county
[3:14:00]
level recently, this kind of
[3:14:07]
shows. Green darker green is
[3:14:09]
less than 95. The light green
[3:14:14]
is 85 to 90. And then you get
[3:14:15]
into the yellows. But it
[3:14:16]
begins to show graphically
[3:14:18]
when we begin to look at the
[3:14:22]
rezoning. If we've got. Space
[3:14:27]
we've got red campuses, Amelia
[3:14:28]
up the green. That gives us
[3:14:30]
the opportunity to immediately
[3:14:31]
try to give some relief to
[3:14:33]
those that are overcapacity.
[3:14:35]
My adjusting lines. 2 of the
[3:14:37]
things that we've shown on
[3:14:39]
here is up at the very top.
[3:14:40]
That's the Harvey at North
[3:14:45]
River Ranch.
[3:14:45]
>> And
[3:14:49]
>> Below right below Lake
[3:14:49]
Manatee, we are for sure where
[3:14:51]
the Lake Manatee k 8 is going
[3:14:53]
to be as well. You can see
[3:14:55]
that both of those are well
[3:14:57]
ensconced in red
[3:14:58]
>> We know will be able to get
[3:15:01]
relieves that relief. There.
[3:15:02]
>> And you said the blue line
[3:15:05]
is the current deadline.
[3:15:07]
>> That's the future
[3:15:08]
development area. But with the
[3:15:09]
county's boundary?
[3:15:12]
>> Do we know what that also
[3:15:16]
the county commissions, was in
[3:15:17]
That is the.
[3:15:25]
>> This doing okay. You have
[3:15:26]
that real quick, I think the
[3:15:28]
previous commission basically
[3:15:29]
obliterated it. But didn't the
[3:15:30]
newest commission to bring it
[3:15:31]
back? Yeah, yeah. Doesn't seem
[3:15:35]
bizarre reason. Your request.
[3:15:36]
>> the future development area
[3:15:42]
boundary line or that was
[3:15:43]
established that establish and
[3:15:43]
the comprehensive plan concept
[3:15:46]
is. To hold growth west of
[3:15:53]
that line. Previous commission
[3:15:54]
allowed the comprehensive plan
[3:15:59]
amendment to go in. That said.
[3:15:59]
The developer could jump
[3:16:03]
across the line. If well,
[3:16:05]
under certain circumstances.
[3:16:06]
Number one, they provide all
[3:16:08]
the infrastructure necessary
[3:16:09]
for the development. Several
[3:16:12]
developers found that it's so
[3:16:14]
profitable to build
[3:16:16]
residential that it's worth
[3:16:16]
them, providing all the
[3:16:17]
infrastructure and extending
[3:16:23]
that. Of the one of the other
[3:16:24]
scenarios as had to be
[3:16:25]
contiguous to another
[3:16:27]
development already. So you
[3:16:30]
couldn't just go to the to the
[3:16:31]
line and say, ok, now, run
[3:16:32]
jump. There had to be a
[3:16:34]
development this side that
[3:16:40]
already had infrastructure and
[3:16:41]
prior commission was fairly
[3:16:43]
liberal with that and improve
[3:16:45]
the of developments that jump
[3:16:49]
that line. This. Setting
[3:16:49]
county commission seemed have
[3:16:51]
a different opinion on on how
[3:16:54]
growth will occur and probably
[3:16:55]
will not be allowing that as
[3:16:59]
much of already seen where
[3:17:02]
staff is pushing back.
[3:17:02]
Obviously under the direction
[3:17:03]
of the the county Commission
[3:17:05]
live pushed back on one
[3:17:05]
development that was passed
[3:17:12]
this line. Under those
[3:17:16]
conditions. Under the previous
[3:17:17]
commission, those approvals
[3:17:19]
that were given, those are not
[3:17:21]
being rescinded. Those are
[3:17:22]
still those approvals are
[3:17:23]
still in place. And my
[3:17:24]
understanding is they have not
[3:17:25]
responded in approval of this
[3:17:34]
time. Thanks. Thanks for that.
[3:17:34]
Ok, I'm done. I'm going jump
[3:17:37]
to the future map.
[3:17:43]
>> So with the future the
[3:17:43]
white areas are the new campus
[3:17:47]
is that we presently have in
[3:17:51]
the 5 year capital plan. We've
[3:17:53]
got the top is Artisan Lakes
[3:17:56]
and that's opening of 26 27.
[3:17:57]
And that will add additional
[3:18:02]
969. Student stations to the
[3:18:03]
mix.
[3:18:05]
>> Hari Elementary, North
[3:18:07]
River Ranch.
[3:18:08]
>> That's opening. 25 26. So
[3:18:10]
that's 4 through 5th grade is
[3:18:12]
what we're calculating there.
[3:18:15]
And that's 508 additional
[3:18:19]
student station. And then Lake
[3:18:22]
Now we will eventually have
[3:18:23]
716 k through 5 students
[3:18:28]
stations. And then the last
[3:18:29]
one is Robin Wright River
[3:18:32]
Ranch. That's the 9.69 So if
[3:18:36]
you look at like between
[3:18:36]
Harvey, Elementary Copper
[3:18:38]
spoon and real country at
[3:18:41]
North River Ranch. We have not
[3:18:45]
recalculated any enrollment
[3:18:48]
into North River Ranch side.
[3:18:52]
So there's deficit of 4.86,
[3:18:54]
but we're will eventually be
[3:18:56]
bringing 508 students stations
[3:18:59]
there. So you can see that we
[3:19:03]
have the capacity to take care
[3:19:04]
that deficit. And then with
[3:19:06]
the lake manatee that will
[3:19:09]
have approximately 7.16 k
[3:19:13]
students stations in that will
[3:19:16]
be giving relief to go. Who is
[3:19:17]
now exceeds by 369 and I
[3:19:26]
believe. The goal is for this
[3:19:27]
year the k 5, the lake Manatee
[3:19:28]
to be somewhere around 300
[3:19:31]
students. They things there.
[3:19:35]
Is that Rendered. So we have
[3:19:35]
will able to give immediate
[3:19:39]
relief soon. Is the elementary
[3:19:40]
section MR. Gardner about
[3:19:45]
opens up. Comes up there as
[3:19:46]
>> Something I think I'd like
[3:19:48]
to see on the board want to or
[3:19:49]
not. So when you look at this
[3:19:54]
at this site right here. And
[3:19:56]
in the map, you showed the
[3:19:57]
future tools. Pointed out to
[3:20:04]
me I think it be. So in late
[3:20:05]
credit, you're wrong. I don't
[3:20:08]
think that's all it. Another
[3:20:09]
student service areas that say
[3:20:10]
he break that down in about
[3:20:12]
what the future dwelling look
[3:20:15]
like if we could get instead
[3:20:17]
of this and they could be to
[3:20:21]
start right? But it's going to
[3:20:22]
be, you know, what could get
[3:20:24]
it in ssa like her that it's a
[3:20:25]
1, 2, 3, because and I think
[3:20:29]
what happens there is. It's
[3:20:31]
easier. Look at those numbers,
[3:20:32]
right to be like the schools
[3:20:33]
and fsa. I think what has to
[3:20:36]
save the life of the West
[3:20:37]
side, you really like you'll
[3:20:39]
be able to see the green, the
[3:20:41]
yellows, the reds and oranges,
[3:20:45]
all just as you do on the bat.
[3:20:46]
But though going to be yeah,
[3:20:47]
okay. Like the First 10 or
[3:20:50]
ssa, the next addresses to,
[3:20:51]
you know, in the district
[3:20:52]
because obviously you back to
[3:20:54]
day, we're going have keep go
[3:20:57]
set for Lakewood Ranch out to
[3:21:01]
form a price. Not about that.
[3:21:02]
I think visually be able to
[3:21:04]
see the number We can
[3:21:05]
definitely slice it that way.
[3:21:06]
One thing to keep in mind is
[3:21:08]
that your residential
[3:21:09]
attendance zones.
[3:21:11]
>> For a school MAY not fall
[3:21:15]
completely within one. Yeah,
[3:21:16]
they set off camera. So you so
[3:21:19]
we can tell you all the
[3:21:21]
schools that are within the
[3:21:24]
ssa. But each well-attended.
[3:21:26]
So Krause or absolutely. That
[3:21:28]
make sense. I just from a
[3:21:31]
geographical standpoint with
[3:21:33]
it being, you know, in in this
[3:21:34]
this, you know, very America
[3:21:36]
old cents instead of the the
[3:21:37]
graph. I think we're just to
[3:21:41]
have them clustered because
[3:21:42]
you look at like, oh, look,
[3:21:43]
Henry has got to be sick. You
[3:21:44]
want give the artisan lakes to
[3:21:46]
them while.
[3:21:47]
>> Because got numbers are
[3:21:47]
right there. You're not
[3:21:49]
looking at going on the bat,
[3:21:50]
even close each other unless
[3:21:56]
there by boat. You feel like
[3:21:57]
looking plus feel like I think
[3:21:58]
people would be a visual to
[3:22:01]
have a look at that. I agree.
[3:22:02]
>> can do that. And that
[3:22:05]
basically goes on that
[3:22:06]
basically goes to what I was
[3:22:10]
gonna because like my hand up
[3:22:17]
like go live. I didn't. We
[3:22:18]
don't know specifically what
[3:22:19]
really we're getting by
[3:22:21]
because they're all They're
[3:22:27]
So. Is going really. Okay. Let
[3:22:29]
me back up. And in my mind
[3:22:31]
that I raise what you like.
[3:22:34]
>> We're over.
[3:22:39]
>> 369 at goal. It. Like
[3:22:43]
manatees capacity as 7.16 So
[3:22:44]
if I look at this, we're
[3:22:47]
already populated. That
[3:22:52]
overcapacity from got going to
[3:22:53]
Lake Manatee by that 316. I
[3:22:54]
know that's not. This is just
[3:22:58]
an example. Right?
[3:22:58]
>> Well, I did that. I mean,
[3:23:03]
keep it. Keep in mind that.
[3:23:04]
Yes, ultimately all of this
[3:23:08]
will update. As as things, you
[3:23:12]
know, continue to happen Lake
[3:23:16]
Manatee is relieving goal that
[3:23:20]
right. But there's also a lot
[3:23:22]
of growth the end of the Ritz
[3:23:26]
This is why we put MR. On
[3:23:28]
assignment early right,
[3:23:29]
because we've got lots of new
[3:23:30]
families moving into even the
[3:23:35]
small pa League on. That. We
[3:23:40]
drew write to initially
[3:23:41]
populate manatee that carved
[3:23:42]
out a certain number of
[3:23:43]
students from going. There are
[3:23:44]
more families moving into
[3:23:46]
that. Polly gone now. Wright,
[3:23:48]
who are whose registrations
[3:23:51]
are already cued up. We also
[3:23:53]
have some families that we're
[3:23:57]
at a charter school that are
[3:23:59]
heading to the by virtue of
[3:24:00]
living in it that Polly gone
[3:24:05]
and so the exact number of
[3:24:07]
students who end up at Lake
[3:24:10]
Manatee and AUGUST of 25 is
[3:24:11]
unknown because houses
[3:24:12]
continue to sail to sell in
[3:24:17]
that area. It. And so again,
[3:24:19]
it's a little bit fluid, but
[3:24:23]
ultimately, when when we go
[3:24:26]
into the system should draw a
[3:24:26]
true residential attendance
[3:24:30]
zone. For Lee community.
[3:24:32]
That's really going to tell us
[3:24:35]
how many students. Are moving
[3:24:40]
from the gullet? In the later.
[3:24:42]
Right. Because it'll be larger
[3:24:43]
than just the polygon that we
[3:24:48]
drew. Right. And that.
[3:24:49]
>> Exactly. And why I was
[3:24:52]
looking at this. It's like,
[3:24:53]
okay. Yeah. For some looked at
[3:24:54]
this and said, oh, you're
[3:24:56]
overcapacity 3.69, you're
[3:24:56]
going to build the new school
[3:25:00]
repopulate yet. For the
[3:25:05]
public. They need to. It's
[3:25:06]
more. It's not removing 3 on.
[3:25:08]
I think students from one
[3:25:15]
school to another. Work in
[3:25:17]
progress, right, nor nor is
[3:25:19]
Lake Manatee.
[3:25:24]
>> The only way to relieve the
[3:25:27]
overcapacity. Goal it right,
[3:25:31]
because if you completely fill
[3:25:37]
a brand new school. With only
[3:25:38]
the relief from one attendance
[3:25:39]
zone. And then you're going to
[3:25:42]
need your next school faster.
[3:25:43]
And that's what said earlier.
[3:25:43]
We have to grow into these
[3:25:45]
schools right?
[3:25:48]
>> you multiple to help out,
[3:25:51]
correct?
[3:25:53]
>> Just real quick on the on
[3:25:56]
the this chart, the current
[3:25:57]
chart, we've got a hard
[3:25:59]
because person, Herbie, North
[3:26:00]
River Ranch capacity. And this
[3:26:04]
is for the 4th and 5th grade.
[3:26:05]
All right. Because we're not
[3:26:06]
there 6th grade will be on the
[3:26:10]
other turn. Middle Spokane. So
[3:26:11]
if we're looking at their
[3:26:12]
overcapacity right now for 46
[3:26:13]
and they have a capacity of
[3:26:16]
508 with that put the joint
[3:26:19]
Harvey at basically.
[3:26:22]
Approaching capacity. It, you
[3:26:23]
know, another very right,
[3:26:27]
right. The second, would it be
[3:26:27]
at approaching capacity based
[3:26:32]
on that numbers? Another
[3:26:38]
example what I talking You.
[3:26:39]
>> The
[3:26:40]
>> then that that probably
[3:26:43]
still going to have to to work
[3:26:46]
through the attendance law
[3:26:48]
make sure the a good spot for
[3:26:48]
only goes middle school the
[3:26:51]
full numbers. I mean, I MISS
[3:26:51]
The numbers have been lowered
[3:26:57]
in. That's because that's
[3:26:58]
where we think in the summer
[3:26:59]
remember that. That's the
[3:27:00]
genesis of this concept this
[3:27:02]
was originally set up.
[3:27:05]
>> Buffalo Creek was way
[3:27:07]
overcrowded. Yeah. So it made
[3:27:08]
sense to set up traditional
[3:27:10]
sick street relief. But
[3:27:14]
Buffalo creeks, not. Where it
[3:27:16]
was when this decision was
[3:27:18]
first made. That gives us the
[3:27:19]
flexibility with 4, 5, But
[3:27:22]
exactly what that. Exactly
[3:27:25]
what all those attendance
[3:27:25]
instead looking like is of
[3:27:28]
mind, the other part of and
[3:27:32]
this also impacts poll view is
[3:27:34]
when we go to draw these
[3:27:35]
zones, if you're if you're
[3:27:37]
really trying to do a true kh
[3:27:39]
ideally, you dry ones of that
[3:27:41]
applies to both levels, but
[3:27:42]
that there's some structural
[3:27:45]
problems with that. Yeah. And
[3:27:47]
again, we don't have all the
[3:27:50]
answers today.
[3:27:52]
>> we've got a lot of work to
[3:27:53]
do it. If that the board
[3:27:58]
authorize us moving forward
[3:28:00]
but that obviously if if if if
[3:28:02]
we draw the k zone that way,
[3:28:05]
it will be more narrow that
[3:28:06]
will have again, those
[3:28:06]
cascading impacts.
[3:28:10]
>> On the surroundings.
[3:28:11]
>> a 3rd of that point. Then
[3:28:12]
you because not only I mean,
[3:28:13]
it's not just going to be the
[3:28:14]
Harvey kids that are going to
[3:28:17]
be going to the upper school.
[3:28:22]
And we also have kids from
[3:28:24]
Williamson and knows who MAY
[3:28:26]
need to drift into the upper
[3:28:28]
don't because they don't each
[3:28:29]
have, of course, you know,
[3:28:30]
write it all depends on what
[3:28:31]
Mets end up looking like and
[3:28:37]
again, in MAY.
[3:28:38]
>> traffic constrained
[3:28:39]
community, right? Because
[3:28:39]
again.
[3:28:42]
>> To an earlier discussion,
[3:28:43]
there are a lot of tools in
[3:28:44]
the school choice toolbox.
[3:28:45]
They don't all work in this
[3:28:50]
community. Thinking quick
[3:28:52]
question Harvey. It looks
[3:28:58]
like. You look future between
[3:29:03]
the 45 Kay in 6 to 8, it's
[3:29:06]
1100 some odd around that
[3:29:06]
capacity. I mean, give it
[3:29:11]
right are we gonna have the
[3:29:11]
flexibility inside that
[3:29:14]
campus? To say, hey, we need
[3:29:16]
to take more 5th graders
[3:29:18]
because we have less 68 to be
[3:29:20]
able to say this week was
[3:29:21]
designed for 6, but now it's
[3:29:23]
going to be fit. We at that.
[3:29:26]
Capability.
[3:29:27]
>> Yeah, I mean, and working
[3:29:29]
with the architect really kind
[3:29:30]
of designed some flexibility
[3:29:33]
into it without knowing
[3:29:34]
exactly what the room was
[3:29:35]
going to be for the upper
[3:29:38]
grade level. And one of the
[3:29:42]
things I wanted to correct, I
[3:29:43]
sit in the 5 year plan. It's
[3:29:44]
really everything that we're
[3:29:45]
showing in the future is the
[3:29:48]
first 3 years of the 5 year
[3:29:49]
plan. We know doesn't even
[3:29:50]
Roman here. But when we get to
[3:29:51]
the highs, we don't show the
[3:29:55]
high school and in the
[3:30:00]
So looking at the middle and
[3:30:07]
high school. You can see at
[3:30:10]
the middle school level and
[3:30:11]
taking you across again spray
[3:30:16]
you can see 4 permit students
[3:30:17]
stations for Green River.
[3:30:23]
Middle says 1003. 44 and then
[3:30:26]
we discounted by 90% of as
[3:30:33]
1210. So that that's why
[3:30:33]
column look strange on the
[3:30:34]
elementary deprived applies to
[3:30:37]
both the middle school and
[3:30:39]
high school as well. Because
[3:30:39]
there's a different way that
[3:30:40]
they calculate capacity for
[3:30:43]
those 2 levels. Where you can
[3:30:45]
see at the middle school
[3:30:50]
level. We've got Jane Jane and
[3:30:52]
that are both in the yellow,
[3:30:56]
which is in excess of 90%, but
[3:30:58]
not quite coming up to 95%.
[3:31:01]
And then Buffalo Creek isn't
[3:31:04]
that 85 to 90% range as well.
[3:31:08]
They're nearing capacity. And
[3:31:10]
then at the high school level,
[3:31:13]
you can send us your question.
[3:31:14]
>> Do we know And that's about
[3:31:16]
the slide? You know, when the
[3:31:18]
last time district rezoned
[3:31:27]
was. MR. Look at you have get
[3:31:29]
I mean, the last time I
[3:31:30]
remember was parish community
[3:31:33]
highs. Yeah, yeah. That that
[3:31:34]
would believe that Wright to
[3:31:34]
go into the hole. We did, we
[3:31:36]
did some redistricting of
[3:31:38]
merman sales district got
[3:31:41]
changed because there's a lot
[3:31:43]
of kids being moved from. I
[3:31:44]
have the right me to some of
[3:31:46]
the high school get and maybe
[3:31:47]
maneuver. But yeah, little
[3:31:47]
here. And there like back
[3:31:52]
under Dr Green, close early as
[3:31:53]
a middle school every
[3:31:57]
district. But you did ever
[3:31:59]
listen. We we never took a
[3:32:00]
whole district. Yeah occur.
[3:32:02]
Even ss a wide look. Yeah.
[3:32:04]
Only say that because like
[3:32:08]
when you look at it, suddenly
[3:32:09]
these zones, I mean, it's like
[3:32:12]
Tetris your demeanor like
[3:32:13]
inside that. That's just
[3:32:16]
wonder like how long we let it
[3:32:17]
be Tetris. Yeah, that that
[3:32:21]
happened because most part.
[3:32:22]
>> was I wasn't hardly when it
[3:32:23]
closed a common. Our kids went
[3:32:25]
from there to. Over to again
[3:32:25]
King in public. We sent him
[3:32:30]
everywhere. When they left a
[3:32:31]
left us and put a pin in
[3:32:36]
parish area going on the age
[3:32:38]
of my children. I remembered
[3:32:39]
zoning going on because they
[3:32:41]
were looking at having
[3:32:43]
Harrison Ranch. Kids go to
[3:32:44]
Blackburn. So we drove past
[3:32:46]
Mills Elementary School to go
[3:32:50]
to Blackburn Elementary school
[3:32:52]
2 to balance that out. And
[3:33:00]
that would have been. 2005. To
[3:33:05]
2000 that the 7,007.
[3:33:07]
>> But holistically for whole
[3:33:09]
lot of that is I don't think
[3:33:09]
it's ever been done to this
[3:33:11]
level. I my career.
[3:33:11]
>> I've been here 28 years.
[3:33:15]
It's never been done right?
[3:33:16]
That I mean, redistricting
[3:33:17]
that has occurred was because
[3:33:22]
of addition of a school
[3:33:23]
significant overpopulation or
[3:33:24]
under population of the
[3:33:25]
school. And they just had to
[3:33:25]
make a change and that change
[3:33:28]
one or 2 boundaries.
[3:33:29]
>> And I mean, I just look at
[3:33:31]
by, you know, so does here
[3:33:32]
near capacity 95% to get that
[3:33:34]
loan idea you look at the Met.
[3:33:38]
I mean, there's a significant.
[3:33:39]
Amount students they could go
[3:33:41]
to either the case you needed.
[3:33:46]
So I just wondered how long
[3:33:47]
did and so does I think is
[3:33:50]
that need do
[3:33:52]
>> when we get further into
[3:33:53]
the process and this is why we
[3:33:54]
look at multiple maps, we we
[3:33:56]
MAY get to the point.
[3:34:00]
>> Where?
[3:34:02]
>> We're we're bored. You say
[3:34:03]
up gosh. Here's a version that
[3:34:07]
would clean up a lot of stuff.
[3:34:08]
But we just think it's too
[3:34:08]
many families changing
[3:34:12]
schools. So we have version
[3:34:12]
right?
[3:34:15]
>> And that's know, that's
[3:34:16]
where you're We could end up
[3:34:16]
with a process where there
[3:34:17]
were several zones that don't
[3:34:18]
change at all.
[3:34:21]
>> Even though we took a look
[3:34:25]
at them, I think I think I
[3:34:26]
think one of the keys today is
[3:34:27]
just to kind of illustrate we
[3:34:30]
don't just have east. We're a
[3:34:31]
north. We have some other
[3:34:33]
things that we really need to
[3:34:37]
address. Another example. You
[3:34:37]
something that we will be
[3:34:40]
taking a look at is, you know,
[3:34:42]
if you take home the u 6
[3:34:44]
through 8 enrollment sitting
[3:34:47]
just over 200. This is where
[3:34:49]
it's hard to have the same
[3:34:52]
fish target for every school.
[3:34:53]
There are some efficiencies
[3:34:55]
that occur.
[3:34:58]
>> with when you're at that
[3:34:59]
number.
[3:35:00]
>> For a bill So we might want
[3:35:02]
to look at that. So to try you
[3:35:05]
know, trying to make some
[3:35:07]
adjustments so that our
[3:35:07]
operating budget is more
[3:35:10]
efficient. They are.
[3:35:12]
>> So there's a lot of things
[3:35:12]
to even to. That's a point
[3:35:18]
like Lincoln. 45% capacity you
[3:35:19]
got a k through 8 and we did
[3:35:20]
that because there was a
[3:35:21]
different situation for 5.
[3:35:26]
Your mean So, yeah, I mean.
[3:35:32]
>> going after Like on this.
[3:35:34]
Particular one before this
[3:35:34]
one.
[3:35:38]
>> Parish community is. 110.
[3:35:41]
It's over capacity. But that
[3:35:44]
is that not counting our new
[3:35:45]
building?
[3:35:46]
>> serves thing. The next
[3:35:49]
slide. I and I include okay,
[3:35:52]
And the
[3:35:52]
>> We we did that
[3:35:53]
intentionally because we're
[3:35:54]
again, we're trying to be very
[3:35:57]
transparent about this is if
[3:35:57]
we're using Tim, Tim. 24,
[3:36:02]
let's use capacity from 10,
[3:36:03]
10. 25. Right. But we know
[3:36:03]
there's a little bit of relief
[3:36:11]
coming, right? Okay.
[3:36:12]
>> Okay. Then looking at the
[3:36:14]
maps, we've got the maps of
[3:36:17]
the the middle school. So
[3:36:19]
Jane, showing that they are in
[3:36:24]
92%. 95% respectively. We've
[3:36:25]
got a lot of green around
[3:36:26]
there that we can definitely
[3:36:28]
look Justin boundaries to to
[3:36:32]
help those 2 schools. And then
[3:36:33]
at the high school level, you
[3:36:36]
can see that you've got
[3:36:37]
community and Lakewood Ranch
[3:36:40]
are the. At this point right
[3:36:45]
now.
[3:36:46]
>> I have keep going of this,
[3:36:50]
at such didn't we just 3 bill.
[3:37:00]
That's cool. 95% near past
[3:37:06]
from a previous charge.
[3:37:08]
>> Both the project and I
[3:37:11]
believe Palmetto High School
[3:37:15]
project. We did not. And
[3:37:17]
additional students stations
[3:37:19]
her placement, they
[3:37:19]
replacement pretty close to
[3:37:20]
like for like for the number
[3:37:28]
those students there.
[3:37:29]
>> But for budgetary, I mean,
[3:37:31]
I'm just talking numbers here
[3:37:31]
budgetary standpoint, it's
[3:37:32]
easier to move kids school
[3:37:35]
like the a block move, a
[3:37:37]
block, a line in people. And
[3:37:39]
that's why. All right. You
[3:37:40]
what street same as they were.
[3:37:41]
The neighborhood knows when I
[3:37:42]
go there full, there's got to
[3:37:44]
be a line somewhere up. And
[3:37:46]
I'm not talking about the
[3:37:47]
emotional on the aspect of
[3:37:48]
where you're going walk about
[3:37:49]
budgetary. Just looking at
[3:37:51]
numbers, much cheaper to move
[3:37:52]
that line that kids go to
[3:37:55]
lead. That is the building of
[3:37:56]
the building. I know it's
[3:37:58]
right line 7, right? So I
[3:37:58]
mean, that's where we need to
[3:38:03]
be able make a fraction know.
[3:38:04]
>> So I just saw some of us.
[3:38:08]
Can you go back district? So
[3:38:09]
that little chunky yellow,
[3:38:09]
that's all by itself with
[3:38:12]
school does have too. Yeah.
[3:38:16]
So.
[3:38:17]
>> believe it. Little one.
[3:38:17]
That's by the river. Yeah,
[3:38:18]
believe that that's the part
[3:38:22]
that goes Lakewood Ranch.
[3:38:25]
Yeah, we've got the red for
[3:38:27]
Lakewood. Yeah, that's kind of
[3:38:27]
that's a little island in the
[3:38:30]
green that that's that's just
[3:38:33]
talking about for remember
[3:38:34]
that. And then on the high
[3:38:36]
school math that little island
[3:38:38]
of red is like correct. They
[3:38:39]
date that that neighborhood
[3:38:41]
goes out to the current. It
[3:38:42]
was to provide some diversity
[3:38:50]
to the student body. Okay.
[3:38:51]
>> Those are looking at high
[3:38:56]
schools here. What are y'all's
[3:38:56]
initial thoughts on building
[3:38:59]
the news? I thought it's
[3:39:00]
already in the eastern part of
[3:39:04]
the county and we. We
[3:39:05]
definitely needs another
[3:39:05]
school somewhere, right? Some
[3:39:09]
type of something too.
[3:39:10]
>> And I think mistreatment,
[3:39:12]
if you're waiting a few
[3:39:12]
minutes, we're going to the
[3:39:15]
future growth and then we've
[3:39:16]
got a slight about because I
[3:39:16]
think it's helpful to see the
[3:39:20]
future growth numbers with the
[3:39:22]
existing read right do with
[3:39:24]
other good we That's
[3:39:25]
definitely we're going to that
[3:39:30]
decision from the board.
[3:39:31]
>> So then this is the middle
[3:39:32]
school and high school of the
[3:39:35]
future. You can see Harvey.
[3:39:39]
Middle the 6, 8, From North
[3:39:41]
River Lake Manatee that their
[3:39:45]
6 a portion. We're not showing
[3:39:46]
them giving anyone relief
[3:39:50]
right now because we're still
[3:39:53]
working through. Obviously,
[3:39:54]
Harvey will open but it won't
[3:39:57]
have the 7th 8th in it. And
[3:39:58]
then the middle school doesn't
[3:40:01]
open till next Lake Manatee.
[3:40:05]
Middle School are the make
[3:40:05]
make Manatee Kate, the middle
[3:40:10]
school portion. And then you
[3:40:11]
can see pair of community put
[3:40:11]
that in wait because we did
[3:40:16]
add. The additional capacity
[3:40:19]
from a new classroom building
[3:40:20]
that that we're doing there.
[3:40:22]
And that brought that down
[3:40:27]
from down to 93% were was over
[3:40:30]
over 100% on the The middle
[3:40:33]
school is now standing at
[3:40:35]
around 65 overall. 65% in
[3:40:38]
regards to capacity. The high
[3:40:42]
school, it was up over 90% and
[3:40:44]
91% is reduced 89%. Just with
[3:40:51]
that one edition. A parish to
[3:40:52]
parish community high school.
[3:40:53]
Parents, as a result of that
[3:40:54]
edition, went from red to
[3:40:57]
being orange. But it's a it's
[3:40:59]
a kind of tentative orange.
[3:41:02]
It's midpoint of the 90's. So
[3:41:03]
could sneak into the red
[3:41:03]
pretty quickly with the
[3:41:11]
development going on there.
[3:41:15]
>> And on that, you know, and
[3:41:16]
I think right there when we
[3:41:17]
look at to the right that the
[3:41:18]
only school capacity,
[3:41:20]
including we look able is that
[3:41:22]
we believe so that school
[3:41:24]
capacity, including relook a
[3:41:24]
doubles, which I'm assuming is
[3:41:29]
affordable rate. Yeah. That
[3:41:36]
column we move down. Future.
[3:41:37]
We believe that. So that
[3:41:40]
number is that necessarily
[3:41:41]
what we believe or do you
[3:41:43]
believe it's going to be the
[3:41:45]
future number of enrollment.
[3:41:48]
So just like the first, you
[3:41:49]
know, just look, I'm looking
[3:41:51]
down more to high school. You
[3:41:52]
know, so they sure it says 21,
[3:41:56]
1, 7, Does that mean that's
[3:41:58]
the capacity or that's what we
[3:41:58]
believe going to happen in the
[3:42:02]
future. Is that they said, but
[3:42:06]
I'm asking.
[3:42:06]
>> know that. That's the
[3:42:07]
survey to are talking about
[3:42:10]
the enrollment has a
[3:42:11]
>> tan tan? Feel like the
[3:42:12]
enrollment as of 10, 10 like
[3:42:17]
Bayshore is there 88. Visions.
[3:42:19]
21 53 that goes 2020. 45
[3:42:20]
right? All right. You go all
[3:42:22]
the way over the right hand
[3:42:24]
column and the school capacity
[3:42:26]
that that you say 21, 1, 7,
[3:42:27]
that number just think that's
[3:42:30]
what the capacity is in Chile,
[3:42:31]
in the future, with the
[3:42:35]
portables, if we did with So
[3:42:36]
that's the max you could be
[3:42:38]
with. 21 once not, that's not
[3:42:39]
what we're saying to from a
[3:42:40]
futuristic standpoint. That's
[3:42:43]
what we believe is that Hap?
[3:42:45]
>> Current. Okay. That that's
[3:42:46]
just thing. That's just with
[3:42:47]
the current portables that are
[3:42:50]
there. What that number site,
[3:42:51]
because the the port of like
[3:42:52]
up is actually
[3:42:57]
>> Decrease a little bit for
[3:43:00]
21. 53 or should 2045?
[3:43:01]
Everybody thinks it's So it's
[3:43:04]
the 90% of the full fish
[3:43:05]
relocate a bill and that will
[3:43:09]
be another perimeter board is
[3:43:10]
with with the notion of of the
[3:43:15]
aging portables. When we go to
[3:43:17]
put parameters into the
[3:43:19]
computer, do you want us to
[3:43:21]
own with any 4 doubles in mind
[3:43:23]
at all or do we start, you
[3:43:25]
know, fresh with just the
[3:43:27]
numbers to the left because
[3:43:31]
obviously taking all the food,
[3:43:32]
the bombing, the portables are
[3:43:35]
how fighting right now at
[3:43:36]
well, it Harvey, some of the
[3:43:40]
other places. You know, when
[3:43:41]
we start playing with the
[3:43:44]
zoning, do we make an
[3:43:45]
assumption that there are more
[3:43:46]
or do you want us to put some
[3:43:48]
of those him? Those will be
[3:43:49]
some of the guardrails we talk
[3:43:53]
about.
[3:43:55]
>> I for one do a part
[3:43:57]
>> Probably didn't pick Got to
[3:44:03]
be better. Get. Okay. I think
[3:44:06]
we've probably talk through.
[3:44:07]
>> Pretty well. You know, on
[3:44:08]
the findings which are
[3:44:11]
Bayshore, though they're
[3:44:11]
approaching nearing capacity,
[3:44:13]
obviously we've got going
[3:44:15]
Harvey Mills and Moody
[3:44:19]
overcapacity. So these are all
[3:44:20]
and how those geographically
[3:44:21]
work with the contiguous
[3:44:21]
campuses that are different
[3:44:24]
levels of capacity will be
[3:44:27]
working through but taken as a
[3:44:29]
whole. It's it's it's not just
[3:44:32]
an isolated area. We're
[3:44:33]
looking at its its
[3:44:34]
districtwide geographically.
[3:44:38]
So as we go through. And they
[3:44:41]
all kind of have, as we say,
[3:44:43]
cascading effects as attempt
[3:44:44]
to resolve one that
[3:44:45]
overcapacity. It's going to
[3:44:48]
bring and one that's maybe
[3:44:49]
significantly under capacity
[3:44:50]
And it's going to be a matter
[3:44:55]
of balancing as we go through.
[3:44:56]
From from the middle school
[3:44:59]
side, Buffalo Creek is nearing
[3:45:01]
capacity Mona Jane. And so
[3:45:02]
both of those are yellow and
[3:45:03]
that capacity and then the
[3:45:05]
high schools, we kind of know,
[3:45:09]
we discussed that Lakewood
[3:45:10]
parish community are over
[3:45:14]
capacity in both Meadow and
[3:45:16]
Braden River coming close to
[3:45:18]
capacity as well. So even at
[3:45:22]
these 2 levels, it's
[3:45:24]
definitely going to be
[3:45:27]
snapshot geographic
[3:45:28]
district-wide, not going to be
[3:45:34]
isolated Finally use of
[3:45:35]
facilities at 100%. We talked
[3:45:36]
a little bit about the
[3:45:39]
challenges with that. We're
[3:45:40]
looking to maximize capacity
[3:45:45]
through the rezoning. Part of
[3:45:46]
the issue is also doing
[3:45:49]
in-depth traffic density
[3:45:51]
evaluation. Mean, it's not a
[3:45:54]
matter. It's not not just a
[3:45:55]
matter of saying even if
[3:45:55]
you're contiguous that you're
[3:45:57]
going to give released to
[3:46:00]
another school that is
[3:46:01]
approaching are near or over
[3:46:02]
capacity. We're going to be
[3:46:05]
taking a look at what. What
[3:46:06]
the challenges are rover, that
[3:46:07]
the traffic relative to
[3:46:11]
natural Barrett Rivers and a
[3:46:11]
barrier bridges and all that
[3:46:15]
and interstates. So. And one
[3:46:17]
of the challenges when we get
[3:46:18]
into the school choice program
[3:46:20]
is traffic negative impact on
[3:46:22]
that? If we were to, you know,
[3:46:26]
try to bring the student from
[3:46:29]
the far west to the far turns
[3:46:30]
into hour and a half drive
[3:46:33]
which doesn't work, which a
[3:46:35]
good student experience. In
[3:46:39]
addition to that. Looking
[3:46:39]
closely at our choice programs
[3:46:42]
as well. And making sure that
[3:46:45]
we keep the existing
[3:46:46]
transportation in place and if
[3:46:49]
not, are preferences to find
[3:46:51]
ways to enhance that as well
[3:46:52]
by the location some of those
[3:46:57]
traits programs. So before we
[3:46:58]
go next one. This can be
[3:47:01]
addressed in the next.
[3:47:12]
>> Let me know. I think with.
[3:47:15]
I'm the Westport, feels not
[3:47:15]
know if this have the
[3:47:16]
capability of this is and how
[3:47:20]
this works. But I I would
[3:47:26]
like. I would like to see.
[3:47:26]
Have my state is correctly
[3:47:30]
with school choice. I I think
[3:47:38]
interesting to see. If we were
[3:47:39]
allowed to like with school
[3:47:44]
choice, and you your eyes and
[3:47:48]
throat Apd said later. What's
[3:47:49]
the number of kids even school
[3:47:49]
choice to make students? What
[3:47:53]
are we to actually school
[3:47:54]
choice write? You know, and
[3:47:56]
it's in. And so that's the
[3:48:01]
number 2. Where students,
[3:48:04]
Joyce Eng to and from right.
[3:48:05]
And so the thought process is
[3:48:06]
and I know I'm gonna get a
[3:48:08]
little bit later. This is what
[3:48:10]
MR. Keita kind of idea
[3:48:11]
question was about the new
[3:48:11]
high school and different
[3:48:16]
things like that. And if if my
[3:48:17]
my my point in saying this is
[3:48:23]
for choice. And there's always
[3:48:26]
good a tune in. I get you
[3:48:27]
know, if your choice from one
[3:48:29]
school to another, you know,
[3:48:31]
you've got to have space there
[3:48:32]
to drop, but I know dri. So we
[3:48:33]
talk about this. You're not
[3:48:39]
personally is allowing. To
[3:48:40]
help us somewhat with capacity
[3:48:43]
choice. I know we're not
[3:48:45]
providing transportation
[3:48:46]
right, but if a student
[3:48:48]
especially high school,
[3:48:49]
driving parents want to take
[3:48:53]
them except drop and they want
[3:48:55]
a choice to other school for
[3:48:57]
whatever reason. I've got a
[3:48:59]
great orchestra. Student
[3:49:01]
childhood and the one that
[3:49:03]
another great orchestra
[3:49:04]
teacher. But this other one
[3:49:06]
doesn't want to drive them
[3:49:09]
across the bridge across town.
[3:49:09]
That's fine. Now Brady
[3:49:10]
connects school holed up at
[3:49:15]
the end it 110%. I get I would
[3:49:16]
I just want to make sure as
[3:49:17]
ever drawing as we're doing
[3:49:18]
these things, we're not giving
[3:49:22]
out school choice because I'm
[3:49:25]
just making a number 100 kids
[3:49:25]
from Lakewood Ranch. Wanted to
[3:49:29]
leave to go Palm Meadows out
[3:49:32]
these Bayshore manatee breaks
[3:49:32]
up where obviously is less
[3:49:35]
than they are. That's going
[3:49:37]
reduce full number right now.
[3:49:37]
That's not going to solve
[3:49:41]
everything. But and sometimes
[3:49:42]
you're not. If you're having
[3:49:42]
kids choice in full, the full
[3:49:44]
Acre Ranch fares. And that's
[3:49:45]
where things. So I get all
[3:49:48]
that. But I'd like to see like
[3:49:48]
how many kids we just finished
[3:49:50]
our choice application. How
[3:49:55]
many kids choosing to go to
[3:49:56]
school from a at capacity or
[3:50:00]
overcapacity school under vice
[3:50:01]
a versa. Get to see those
[3:50:01]
numbers, right? But yeah, this
[3:50:04]
not a good. You know, there's
[3:50:06]
so many people trying Joyce
[3:50:07]
the that it that's not going
[3:50:08]
to work, but that's not going
[3:50:10]
to solve any issues vice
[3:50:15]
versa. Whatever so just I'll
[3:50:16]
be that there be spread. I
[3:50:17]
just so for choice. I think
[3:50:18]
this is the discussion. The
[3:50:19]
hat and I don't want to say
[3:50:24]
recruit. I don't want to I
[3:50:29]
don't want to Recruiting
[3:50:30]
against each other inside of
[3:50:31]
our own schools, the district.
[3:50:34]
But the reality is is we have
[3:50:36]
programs in some schools that
[3:50:37]
you don't have another And
[3:50:40]
that's the reality. And so if
[3:50:41]
it from the educational
[3:50:44]
standpoint, anything. Thank
[3:50:47]
Want to make sure that that
[3:50:49]
we're taking into the account.
[3:50:50]
Number wise, what those word
[3:50:54]
do they even help So we
[3:50:55]
definitely can.
[3:50:57]
>> Pull that data together. I
[3:50:58]
know. Of course, MR. Chapman
[3:51:01]
and MR. Clarke or in the back
[3:51:03]
listening, we have more school
[3:51:04]
choice applications this year
[3:51:08]
than prior. So you know that
[3:51:09]
and again, that could be for a
[3:51:10]
number reasons. But it's, you
[3:51:13]
know, it's all good we we do
[3:51:17]
have church showing. Where
[3:51:18]
students are attending versus
[3:51:22]
where their zone and some of
[3:51:25]
that is to help our principles
[3:51:27]
understand how their schools
[3:51:29]
are changing, where their
[3:51:30]
students are coming from. We I
[3:51:31]
also want our principles to
[3:51:33]
know where they're losing.
[3:51:35]
Students because to your
[3:51:37]
point, CHAIRMAN, every school
[3:51:39]
is competing against every
[3:51:44]
other school.
[3:51:44]
>> we want our principles to
[3:51:45]
be aware, not just of their
[3:51:47]
feeder patterns, but where
[3:51:50]
they're attrition is
[3:51:51]
happening. Where with it. So
[3:51:52]
all of that is part of I think
[3:51:58]
just a smarter approach. You
[3:51:59]
know, too, to attracting
[3:52:01]
students. Definitely provide
[3:52:03]
the board with some of those
[3:52:04]
tables. Just to just to give
[3:52:06]
you an idea. You what that
[3:52:07]
looks like. Keeping in mind
[3:52:12]
that this year at the choice
[3:52:14]
fair, we did have all schools
[3:52:17]
even schools that are at or
[3:52:17]
above capacity just to be able
[3:52:22]
to answer community questions.
[3:52:23]
But again, as a result of the
[3:52:26]
work we MAY do over the next 6
[3:52:26]
months. There MAY be some
[3:52:27]
schools that haven't been
[3:52:30]
available to choice to become
[3:52:31]
available. And so, you know, I
[3:52:33]
I think it's important to have
[3:52:34]
all of our schools involved
[3:52:39]
there.
[3:52:41]
>> Through all of this summer,
[3:52:41]
like we said, this is
[3:52:44]
holistic. Do what we need to
[3:52:50]
do. Rezoning. That includes.
[3:52:51]
Yeah. Think about the
[3:52:56]
transportation side. The bus
[3:52:56]
and all of those things are
[3:52:59]
going change. We move through
[3:53:03]
this process. And to MISTER
[3:53:13]
Shoats Point. Student is
[3:53:13]
choice saying to manatee high
[3:53:19]
football. Okay or a student is
[3:53:19]
choice in the southeast
[3:53:23]
because I'd be. I don't know
[3:53:25]
what that doubt it. As at all.
[3:53:29]
So I do hope that this.
[3:53:30]
>> Well, we we can provide
[3:53:33]
data on the students moving
[3:53:35]
and we know with I b, for
[3:53:38]
example, we know who those
[3:53:40]
students are. We we do ask
[3:53:44]
families why. They make the
[3:53:45]
school choice pieces they do.
[3:53:46]
And we have to be very careful
[3:53:48]
with that wind picks because
[3:53:51]
we do not recruit. And there
[3:53:53]
are there are penalties for
[3:53:55]
coaches who are caught
[3:53:56]
recruiting Financial Civil
[3:53:59]
Penalities sorts wasn't in an
[3:54:02]
alley just make it really
[3:54:03]
clear since where Russians
[3:54:05]
were in the public domain But.
[3:54:08]
>> But yes, all of I mean, we
[3:54:11]
do have all of that data that
[3:54:13]
that we can take a look at to
[3:54:17]
your point about
[3:54:17]
transportation again, MR.
[3:54:19]
Clarke is the supervisor of
[3:54:22]
Transportation they will be at
[3:54:24]
the table with us because we
[3:54:26]
MAY make some suggestions that
[3:54:29]
look good on paper. And then
[3:54:31]
when they go production
[3:54:32]
filter, MR. Warrington MAY
[3:54:35]
say, ok, that looks great on
[3:54:35]
the map. And here's why.
[3:54:36]
That's not actually going to
[3:54:37]
work, right? And that will you
[3:54:41]
know that. That data data,
[3:54:44]
that's part of this process
[3:54:45]
of. Here's a way to do it.
[3:54:47]
That it's numerically perfect.
[3:54:48]
But if he can't get the kids
[3:54:50]
there it doesn't, it doesn't
[3:54:51]
actually work. So that's
[3:54:53]
that's another element to
[3:54:54]
this. And of course, a few
[3:54:56]
minutes we're going to talk
[3:54:58]
about school start time
[3:55:00]
changes that are running on a
[3:55:02]
parallel track to this
[3:55:03]
process. And that has huge
[3:55:05]
transportation implications.
[3:55:06]
So there's a lot of moving
[3:55:11]
parts to right. Just not.
[3:55:12]
Johnson. My right. That's 100%
[3:55:17]
choice.
[3:55:19]
>> No other questions for the
[3:55:22]
second. It's been an hour and
[3:55:22]
a Anybody need a 5 minute
[3:55:51]
MR. We'll turn it over to
[3:55:51]
MISTER Pendley of victims
[3:55:55]
through residential growth.
[3:55:55]
>> We can so. I anticipate
[3:55:59]
getting through this in about
[3:56:05]
5 minutes. This going to be
[3:56:07]
interesting. Rather scary.
[3:56:08]
When you look at on hold. Need
[3:56:11]
to talk through it. So let's
[3:56:16]
focus on that projected
[3:56:17]
residential growth that is
[3:56:17]
coming we're going to look at
[3:56:22]
it both county wide and on
[3:56:22]
quadrant area. And those
[3:56:26]
quadrants, I I think it was
[3:56:27]
MR. Community that referred to
[3:56:29]
them earlier, school service
[3:56:30]
areas and that's exactly what
[3:56:31]
they are. And we'll talk about
[3:56:36]
where they are. So I'm going
[3:56:38]
to present growth to you today
[3:56:39]
that we anticipate in the near
[3:56:45]
future. Manatee County is we
[3:56:46]
talked about earlier. We've
[3:56:47]
just an Preston. It
[3:56:48]
residential growth over the
[3:56:50]
last 4 or 5 years. There was
[3:56:56]
some discussion about. Is it
[3:56:57]
different than when you were
[3:56:59]
here before MR. Kennedy, I can
[3:57:03]
tell you about. Probably 5
[3:57:04]
years ago we were seeing about
[3:57:08]
30. Between 3604,000. Well,
[3:57:12]
onions a year that were
[3:57:15]
impacting our schools. Right
[3:57:19]
now we're seeing about 7,000
[3:57:19]
dwelling units per The impact
[3:57:20]
or schools and those are the
[3:57:22]
ones that are getting
[3:57:22]
certificates occupancy. We
[3:57:23]
tracked that offer impact
[3:57:27]
fees. So the growth is
[3:57:34]
definitely ramped up. And you
[3:57:34]
know, will continue at that
[3:57:36]
level. I don't know my my
[3:57:39]
crystal ball kind of gori
[3:57:40]
right There's been some
[3:57:40]
changes. Some of those
[3:57:43]
occurred in NOVEMBER, both on
[3:57:45]
the national level and the
[3:57:49]
local level you know, we have
[3:57:50]
a little bit of storm fatigue
[3:57:51]
here in the state from last
[3:57:53]
year. And we I don't know that
[3:57:54]
we've seen the impacts of that
[3:57:57]
yet. As to whether or not
[3:57:58]
people are still willing to
[3:58:01]
move here as much as they were
[3:58:02]
before on a national level.
[3:58:05]
Right now we're seeing tariffs
[3:58:06]
go in place. We don't know
[3:58:07]
what impact that will have on
[3:58:10]
on growth. We don't know what
[3:58:11]
interest rates will look like
[3:58:12]
in the near future and all
[3:58:18]
those things go into too. How
[3:58:20]
gross proceeds on a local
[3:58:20]
level. We had previous county
[3:58:22]
commission that was very
[3:58:25]
pro-growth. We talked about
[3:58:28]
allowing developers jump over
[3:58:29]
that future development area
[3:58:30]
boundary line. They did that
[3:58:32]
several different instances.
[3:58:35]
The current county commission
[3:58:39]
has certainly projected they
[3:58:40]
don't have much interest in
[3:58:41]
that that they want to curtail
[3:58:44]
growth. And or at least
[3:58:48]
control it and and have it the
[3:58:50]
more normal fashion and maybe
[3:58:51]
what we've seen past. So
[3:58:55]
again, I can't tell you that.
[3:58:56]
We will maintain that 7,000
[3:58:56]
units a year that are
[3:59:00]
impacting us right now. What I
[3:59:03]
can tell you, though, is that
[3:59:04]
you're going to see numbers
[3:59:04]
today. That seems
[3:59:10]
overwhelming. And but want
[3:59:10]
keep in mind that as we look
[3:59:15]
at culmination of these
[3:59:17]
projected residential units,
[3:59:18]
the market will only bear what
[3:59:21]
the market bears. So you can
[3:59:22]
have 100,000 units out there
[3:59:24]
that are ready to be built.
[3:59:28]
Market's not going to accept
[3:59:30]
it we're going to take what it
[3:59:31]
wants and to this point, it's
[3:59:32]
been taken about 7,000 units
[3:59:36]
year. We track this growth
[3:59:37]
through tool. That's cold
[3:59:43]
school concurrency. MR.
[3:59:43]
Kennedy's probably aware of
[3:59:44]
that. I think MR. Cho to where
[3:59:45]
the been around long enough to
[3:59:48]
probably heard us talk about
[3:59:49]
that before. And that's 8 both
[3:59:50]
the right foot or in a
[3:59:53]
planning tool. Arise by
[3:59:57]
Florida statute and it's been
[4:00:01]
in place for. Different
[4:00:03]
services for a number of
[4:00:04]
years. The the concept behind
[4:00:08]
school Concurrency is that
[4:00:09]
public services we'll be in
[4:00:10]
place to serve development as
[4:00:15]
it Kurt occurs. In. You know,
[4:00:16]
the services are everything
[4:00:18]
from roads and water and sewer
[4:00:20]
parks, other public services.
[4:00:23]
But for us, schools now, not
[4:00:24]
all school districts across
[4:00:26]
the state. You school
[4:00:29]
concurrency is something that
[4:00:30]
a lot of districts have opted
[4:00:31]
not to use, but we have used
[4:00:33]
it. And that's that allows us
[4:00:39]
to track the growth. We
[4:00:40]
interlocal agreement that was
[4:00:42]
developed under Florida
[4:00:45]
Statute. Chapter one 63 in
[4:00:48]
2008 and that Inter local
[4:00:49]
agreement involves knowing the
[4:00:50]
school district, but it
[4:00:51]
involves 5 local government
[4:00:55]
agencies and the school
[4:00:55]
concurrency management system
[4:00:57]
was adopted through that
[4:01:01]
through that agreement. So the
[4:01:05]
agreement when we look at
[4:01:05]
going back and say want to
[4:01:07]
look at school concurrency.
[4:01:08]
There's a number of factors
[4:01:08]
that go into it. We look at
[4:01:09]
call 50, which is. We're
[4:01:13]
required to use. And we look
[4:01:15]
at our student generation but
[4:01:17]
rate based on the number of
[4:01:19]
dwellings, they have been
[4:01:21]
improved. Our student
[4:01:23]
generation rate was updated
[4:01:24]
last year and her impact. The
[4:01:26]
study. The board adopted that
[4:01:28]
under resolution. That's 4
[4:01:29]
Manatee County that was
[4:01:30]
implemented last SEPTEMBER. So
[4:01:34]
new student generation rates
[4:01:35]
and what that says is on a
[4:01:37]
county wide bases. Typical
[4:01:41]
dwelling unit. Puts 0.1, 8, 7
[4:01:45]
students into our schools. And
[4:01:46]
these these are just the
[4:01:47]
traditional k 12 schools and
[4:01:48]
some talk about charter
[4:01:52]
schools. And then it breaks
[4:01:52]
down to an elementary and
[4:01:55]
middle high school. So we know
[4:01:56]
we can use that number to
[4:01:57]
project. And that's on the
[4:01:59]
most current localized data
[4:02:04]
that we have. So we've tracked
[4:02:06]
this growth by Forest Service
[4:02:07]
areas and those are shown on
[4:02:13]
the next slide. These service
[4:02:15]
Again, the redeveloped under
[4:02:18]
the interlocal Agreement,
[4:02:20]
school service area one or ssa
[4:02:20]
one is in the northeast
[4:02:24]
region. The county and the
[4:02:24]
dividing line on that is
[4:02:27]
basically the Manatee River as
[4:02:31]
well as U.S. 301. And it goes
[4:02:33]
down same road. So that
[4:02:35]
includes a will a major part
[4:02:39]
of felt a district and parish.
[4:02:42]
And we have that's the second
[4:02:43]
most highest growth school
[4:02:45]
service area that we have.
[4:02:50]
School service area, too. Is
[4:02:52]
in the eastern portion Manatee
[4:02:54]
County. And a lot of that is
[4:02:57]
on the east side of the future
[4:02:57]
development area boundary. So,
[4:03:01]
you know, it's a huge area.
[4:03:01]
Some there's not a lot of
[4:03:02]
growth out in the extreme
[4:03:06]
eastern portion of the county.
[4:03:09]
The line for that is U.S. 301
[4:03:10]
down to Fort Hamer road and
[4:03:11]
jumps over I-75 and runs to
[4:03:16]
down the University Parkway.
[4:03:17]
School service area. 3 is in
[4:03:20]
the south-central portion of
[4:03:22]
the county and the dividing
[4:03:26]
line on that I-75 and us. 41.
[4:03:30]
And school service area for is
[4:03:32]
in southwestern part of the
[4:03:32]
county. It goes from us. 41
[4:03:36]
over to the goal. So going to
[4:03:43]
look at. Residential projected
[4:03:44]
residential growth in each of
[4:03:45]
the service areas. Now we're
[4:03:50]
going to tell when the time so
[4:03:51]
already service area. 2 is one
[4:03:52]
where we have the most project
[4:03:55]
residential growth. Service
[4:03:55]
area. One has the second most
[4:03:58]
projected growth. So on each
[4:04:00]
of the slide, you're gonna see
[4:04:03]
a graphic on your right hand
[4:04:07]
side and its color the
[4:04:07]
developments or they're
[4:04:08]
they're coated by the size of
[4:04:10]
units that or approved. But
[4:04:14]
yet to be developed. And these
[4:04:17]
are based on reservations. So
[4:04:19]
let me explain what that
[4:04:20]
means. Reserve units the way
[4:04:24]
we track. It means that
[4:04:25]
development is going through a
[4:04:28]
number of development
[4:04:29]
approval. Okay. They they
[4:04:30]
might have a general
[4:04:31]
development plan. I actually
[4:04:32]
them I have a comprehensive
[4:04:33]
plan and then they get changed
[4:04:35]
in a result that they have the
[4:04:36]
general development plan. Then
[4:04:38]
they have a plenary site plan.
[4:04:40]
Then they have construction
[4:04:40]
final site plan. So there's
[4:04:44]
all the stages of development.
[4:04:46]
The ones that were talking
[4:04:48]
about have gone through that
[4:04:49]
approval process and reached a
[4:04:50]
point where they could apply
[4:04:53]
for building permits. Now.
[4:04:53]
Okay. So there through the
[4:04:58]
process. And and there at the
[4:05:00]
time they can Smith for
[4:05:02]
building permits. Most of
[4:05:03]
these larger developments.
[4:05:06]
Again, color coded here. So
[4:05:09]
the red blue and purple or the
[4:05:10]
ones that would have obviously
[4:05:13]
a more significant impact.
[4:05:16]
Most of those are faced. So
[4:05:17]
there maybe 8 or 10 phases and
[4:05:18]
some of these larger
[4:05:19]
developments takes years to do
[4:05:23]
that.
[4:05:24]
>> quick question by
[4:05:28]
Christmas. Not. On the left of
[4:05:30]
the write up this. Chart, the
[4:05:34]
dart. Black line that goes
[4:05:37]
down through the years. The
[4:05:38]
fdot, guessing. Yes, ma'am.
[4:05:39]
Okay. So certain school
[4:05:41]
service area one does not
[4:05:41]
touch the.
[4:05:43]
>> The gift area in the
[4:05:47]
corner, a coroner that yeah.
[4:05:49]
It's only school service area
[4:05:49]
to that's really impacted by
[4:05:52]
the future growth. Married.
[4:05:53]
Okay.
[4:05:56]
>> And then you're saying the
[4:05:59]
purple 3,000 plus. Do well in
[4:06:01]
units proved it is not this
[4:06:04]
big. MISS Moore for the
[4:06:09]
public. I think the big purple
[4:06:13]
for the says just that frontal
[4:06:14]
region problem.
[4:06:15]
>> Probably right choice of
[4:06:19]
colors on, you know, I right?
[4:06:19]
>> Because when I first saw
[4:06:21]
that on my I pretty sure
[4:06:24]
there's probably you know many
[4:06:26]
thousands of I noticed it
[4:06:27]
after I looked at it about 5
[4:06:28]
times of what somebody is
[4:06:31]
going to say. Oh, that hole.
[4:06:34]
>> All You knew somebody upset
[4:06:35]
by what color could you use?
[4:06:37]
That would have maybe yellow
[4:06:42]
But yeah, I just. This is And
[4:06:45]
again, I know I said before.
[4:06:48]
And a little plane to look at
[4:06:50]
what's going on out there. And
[4:06:55]
just. Particular chart
[4:06:59]
doesn't. Can you even give you
[4:07:01]
real grasp? Almost have to see
[4:07:03]
it from aerial even with a
[4:07:05]
drone you couldn't imagine.
[4:07:12]
It's so And some I went out.
[4:07:13]
Someone that hasn't been out
[4:07:14]
there a lot of times and they
[4:07:17]
couldn't believe it. They were
[4:07:19]
just like shocked How much
[4:07:20]
we've been talking about we've
[4:07:22]
been talking about so. Okay. I
[4:07:26]
just wanted to clarify that
[4:07:27]
chair.
[4:07:27]
>> Okay. So the chart at the
[4:07:33]
top. Shows the remaining
[4:07:34]
dwelling units that are in the
[4:07:35]
school service here. Again,
[4:07:36]
these are the ones that have
[4:07:40]
gone through development,
[4:07:40]
approved processes to the
[4:07:42]
stage to where they They could
[4:07:43]
apply for a building permit.
[4:07:44]
That doesn't mean they're all
[4:07:46]
going to play right now it's
[4:07:47]
it's just that's not how it
[4:07:50]
works. But we have taken our
[4:07:54]
student generation number. Stu
[4:07:57]
generation, right number and
[4:07:58]
projected out how many
[4:08:00]
elementary middle and high
[4:08:01]
school students we anticipate
[4:08:06]
being generated from this
[4:08:06]
remaining development and you
[4:08:10]
see that we project 1518
[4:08:11]
elementary students, 671
[4:08:15]
middle school students and
[4:08:18]
1,1112 high school students.
[4:08:19]
We also looked at how much
[4:08:23]
capacity do we have remaining
[4:08:25]
in that service area, which is
[4:08:25]
something that MISTER Cho got
[4:08:29]
to earlier say. Tell me what
[4:08:32]
capacity we have. You know by
[4:08:33]
service area. So in that
[4:08:35]
school service area, we have
[4:08:42]
capacity for. 1656 elementary
[4:08:43]
students. Keep in mind that
[4:08:45]
this is not going to existing
[4:08:45]
schools, but it's what we're
[4:08:48]
planning to build. Mrna
[4:08:51]
already showed you on the the
[4:08:55]
projected chart altogether. So
[4:08:56]
for elementary, that would
[4:09:04]
mean the the barber Harvey.
[4:09:06]
North River Ranch 4th and 5th
[4:09:12]
grades as well Artisan Lakes.
[4:09:14]
And of it also includes some
[4:09:14]
elementary Blackburn in
[4:09:19]
Palmetto. And it includes a
[4:09:21]
middle school past the
[4:09:24]
Lincoln. When you compare that
[4:09:25]
the remaining students be
[4:09:26]
generated against what student
[4:09:30]
past who we have. You see that
[4:09:31]
there's enough capacity
[4:09:32]
projected here. I'm sorry.
[4:09:36]
There's an up capacity that
[4:09:40]
either exist or were building
[4:09:42]
to accommodate all past. Are
[4:09:43]
all the students in this
[4:09:46]
region. We're a service area.
[4:09:49]
We'll have we project in
[4:09:51]
excess of 138 elementary
[4:09:53]
school students and 774 middle
[4:09:56]
school student spaces. So
[4:09:57]
we're we're actually in pretty
[4:10:01]
decent shape there. The is on
[4:10:04]
the high school capacity. We
[4:10:05]
talked about the Forest
[4:10:09]
service areas and that is how
[4:10:09]
concurrency works for
[4:10:11]
elementary and middle school.
[4:10:14]
So compartmentalize it and we
[4:10:16]
say, do you have enough
[4:10:18]
capacity in the service area
[4:10:22]
to serve the students and by
[4:10:23]
state law? All if we don't,
[4:10:26]
you have to go to the next
[4:10:26]
service area and say can we
[4:10:30]
borrow capacity from that? If
[4:10:32]
you don't have enough there
[4:10:33]
than you got a problem. But we
[4:10:35]
do have So there's not issue
[4:10:39]
here with high schools. The
[4:10:42]
it's a district wide. It's one
[4:10:45]
service area because high
[4:10:47]
school students are much more
[4:10:48]
mobile. Then then elementary
[4:10:48]
and middle school students. I
[4:10:53]
think doctor was on you he'll
[4:10:54]
get you some of those choice
[4:10:56]
chart and you can see their
[4:10:57]
students are really moving
[4:10:59]
around the district. We look
[4:11:00]
at that on a more holistic
[4:11:04]
view for for high schools. But
[4:11:06]
we're providing it here for by
[4:11:08]
service area so that you can
[4:11:10]
see where the deficits are
[4:11:10]
really boring, even though
[4:11:14]
that's not how we track it for
[4:11:15]
concurrent. That make sense
[4:11:21]
you. Okay. To go to the next
[4:11:28]
slide. Excuse The slide
[4:11:29]
identifies where where the
[4:11:31]
majority the impacts are.
[4:11:32]
Again, it's the purple and the
[4:11:35]
blue and the red that are your
[4:11:36]
larger developments. And you
[4:11:38]
can see that most of these are
[4:11:39]
concentrated the half of the
[4:11:41]
school service area. That's
[4:11:43]
because the most the southern
[4:11:44]
half of it is already
[4:11:46]
developed. And what you're
[4:11:48]
seeing down there is just into
[4:11:48]
projects are for the most
[4:11:52]
part, smaller projects. And
[4:11:53]
has a mentioned a couple times
[4:11:54]
already. This is our second
[4:11:56]
most. Active school service
[4:12:00]
area. One that's most
[4:12:01]
activists school service area
[4:12:10]
too. We're showing that we. We
[4:12:14]
can find that there are 20,620
[4:12:14]
dwelling units that are
[4:12:16]
approved that are not yet
[4:12:17]
built that are at the stage
[4:12:18]
where they can apply for
[4:12:22]
building permits again, don't
[4:12:23]
panic. They're not all come
[4:12:23]
that wants. The market just
[4:12:27]
won't take it. We anticipate
[4:12:31]
that those dwellings would
[4:12:36]
result 1773 elementary
[4:12:38]
students. 784 middle school
[4:12:38]
students and 1299 high School
[4:12:41]
students. When you look at our
[4:12:45]
remaining student capacity and
[4:12:48]
this area again, when we talk
[4:12:48]
about the U.S. To capacity,
[4:12:51]
we're adding in the school is
[4:12:52]
that we're building, we're
[4:12:54]
building like manatee pay. And
[4:12:56]
we're building right ranch.
[4:12:59]
They're both in the service
[4:13:01]
area. So what you see is with
[4:13:07]
capacity for 1993. It earned
[4:13:09]
9, 3 elementary students,
[4:13:11]
1949. Those school students
[4:13:13]
and again, we we have a
[4:13:14]
deficit here in high school
[4:13:17]
already. So when you compare
[4:13:21]
the and students to be
[4:13:23]
generated to what's remaining.
[4:13:25]
Once again. You see that we're
[4:13:29]
going to be ok and elementary.
[4:13:31]
Well, capacity to accommodate
[4:13:33]
additional 220 students in
[4:13:34]
additional 11 or 65 no
[4:13:38]
schools, too. Got a problem
[4:13:40]
again at the high school
[4:13:42]
level. And when you look at
[4:13:44]
that in conjunction with
[4:13:45]
what's in ssa One now, we
[4:13:46]
really have a problem because
[4:13:49]
there I think we're down about
[4:13:54]
900 students almost all the
[4:13:55]
capacity that we're showing
[4:13:59]
out in the elementary middle
[4:14:02]
schools is he's in the lake
[4:14:03]
Manatee k and dry ranch. But
[4:14:06]
hail and Braden River. Middle
[4:14:07]
also have ample capacity.
[4:14:08]
That's why you're showing a
[4:14:10]
lot of no school capacity.
[4:14:11]
Ability in this area, even
[4:14:15]
with all this growth. The
[4:14:17]
future high school site that's
[4:14:18]
on our plan is within that
[4:14:22]
school service area. And that
[4:14:26]
is. That that's something
[4:14:27]
that's been shown to work plan
[4:14:29]
for several years. We didn't
[4:14:31]
count capacity in here because
[4:14:33]
it's not going to be in place
[4:14:35]
by AUGUST. First of 2026,
[4:14:37]
which is the cutoff line that
[4:14:38]
we use for the charge that
[4:14:40]
MISTER And all the show want
[4:14:41]
you to know that past is not
[4:14:45]
in there, but in a work plan
[4:14:53]
shown in uk. Questions.
[4:14:54]
Versatile, quit.
[4:14:54]
>> When we talk about our
[4:14:55]
capacity, look at these
[4:14:58]
numbers that we're looking at
[4:14:59]
total goings. This particular
[4:15:02]
side rare for ss 8, 2, 20,000
[4:15:06]
plus swellings. We believe
[4:15:07]
it's going to create generate
[4:15:09]
these many students. Yes. How
[4:15:10]
are we coming up with that
[4:15:12]
date?
[4:15:14]
>> It is based off the student
[4:15:19]
generation rate that. Happened
[4:15:21]
to the number. It is a average
[4:15:24]
number. It's census driven
[4:15:24]
what we when we did the
[4:15:27]
impact. The study last year of
[4:15:32]
by looking at All the while
[4:15:34]
wings and throwing them all
[4:15:35]
into a pot. So will there be
[4:15:36]
variations and the absolutely
[4:15:39]
you're going to have you're
[4:15:40]
going to have developments
[4:15:44]
that are really focused on
[4:15:45]
families maybe their lower
[4:15:46]
price points. And but then
[4:15:47]
you're gonna have development
[4:15:49]
that, you know, the price
[4:15:53]
points million plus, which,
[4:15:54]
you know, at least from an
[4:15:54]
elementary standpoint, you're
[4:15:58]
you know, we'll get me now
[4:15:59]
that because the parents
[4:16:00]
generally can't afford to that
[4:16:03]
point in their life. Yeah,
[4:16:04]
that it's a way that the state
[4:16:07]
does their date like.
[4:16:07]
>> And then do some of the
[4:16:11]
Roman comes from what the
[4:16:12]
charter isn't about So the
[4:16:14]
complete guessing game get
[4:16:17]
ready are they using that same
[4:16:20]
type of system to say here's
[4:16:23]
what we think is going to to
[4:16:25]
you know, they're using change
[4:16:26]
data over.
[4:16:30]
>> Period of time based on
[4:16:31]
actual unruly.
[4:16:33]
>> rates yeah, so I'll give
[4:16:33]
you an example because I'm
[4:16:39]
glad you asked I pulled up the
[4:16:40]
coffee forecast and a printed
[4:16:44]
it off and based on the actual
[4:16:49]
numbers. And 23, 24. Projected
[4:16:53]
to for 5 years to 28. 29. The
[4:16:54]
state shows that we're going
[4:16:56]
to gain 361, actually 362
[4:17:00]
elementary students. That we
[4:17:02]
will gain 371 middle school
[4:17:06]
students and that we will lose
[4:17:07]
1940, not 41 high schools 5
[4:17:11]
years and 5 years. So the
[4:17:13]
state shows decreasing our
[4:17:14]
student athletes just by 12 0
[4:17:18]
a over 5 years. So I prefer
[4:17:22]
not to use the state Rita,
[4:17:22]
wreath all we've we've
[4:17:24]
obviously seen they've been
[4:17:25]
completely wrong.
[4:17:28]
>> just want to I curiosity
[4:17:29]
hasn't I mean bigger that big
[4:17:30]
problem is what we're
[4:17:32]
presenting right here.
[4:17:34]
>> Is the state doesn't take
[4:17:35]
into consideration that
[4:17:37]
they're looking at birth rate.
[4:17:40]
And I so what that it's a one
[4:17:41]
line where we are. We know our
[4:17:44]
line the burning
[4:17:46]
>> not my job to defend the
[4:17:48]
state. But I think part of
[4:17:49]
what they're projecting in
[4:17:53]
here is that more charters are
[4:17:55]
probably going to come share
[4:17:56]
and they look at that on a
[4:17:58]
statewide basis. And it's a
[4:17:58]
trend.
[4:18:03]
>> I think there are. They're
[4:18:05]
projecting that we will have
[4:18:06]
some Charles and those numbers
[4:18:07]
were for the district. They
[4:18:10]
are 12
[4:18:11]
>> Another last question that
[4:18:13]
felt great pain are up.
[4:18:16]
>> Do we indies pockets where
[4:18:19]
we see developments like
[4:18:23]
probably number of like the 55
[4:18:23]
plus. Rethink that like
[4:18:24]
Delaware. And we did not
[4:18:29]
include year we didn't. But we
[4:18:33]
love those because they they
[4:18:34]
pay 41 the book. So we
[4:18:42]
encourage we have couple the
[4:18:44]
question. Sorry. Yes, and
[4:18:45]
looking at just areas woman
[4:18:46]
into where most of our growth
[4:18:49]
is occurring in county.
[4:18:50]
>> And the high school numbers
[4:18:53]
we've got 2400 projected
[4:18:54]
students 20 through, but do.
[4:18:59]
We have. Idea as too. Well,
[4:19:02]
know. What we're looking at in
[4:19:06]
terms of length of time that
[4:19:08]
this woman should be accruing
[4:19:08]
the students. I mean, any
[4:19:09]
time, know, that they haven't
[4:19:11]
filed in the put in there
[4:19:13]
there, you things to build yet
[4:19:14]
stuff. But look at general
[4:19:19]
idea. Of MR. Is going to show
[4:19:20]
you the slide here in a couple
[4:19:24]
minutes through his.
[4:19:25]
>> And ok, how much time do we
[4:19:27]
have before we have to
[4:19:29]
>> what is What is going tell
[4:19:33]
you is that? Through 44,000
[4:19:35]
dwellings remain to be built
[4:19:39]
again. If you look at kind of
[4:19:40]
the worst case scenario as to
[4:19:42]
where we are right now. 7,000
[4:19:44]
new two-year, they're not all
[4:19:45]
going in this district. There
[4:19:49]
are being spread out across
[4:19:51]
the county. So let's say you
[4:19:52]
have 6 to 7 but that's growth.
[4:19:56]
Maintains level which I I have
[4:20:08]
my the mistake.
[4:20:10]
>> confused about very
[4:20:10]
beginning of all of this. We
[4:20:13]
talked about. Overall
[4:20:17]
students, including charter.
[4:20:18]
But now diving into the s won.
[4:20:24]
Is a 2. I looked at that high
[4:20:26]
school population as well. And
[4:20:27]
I think did the math right?
[4:20:32]
Was 2,305. Additional high
[4:20:36]
school students that are only
[4:20:44]
>> traditional k right county
[4:20:48]
well, we would. Anticipate for
[4:20:50]
charter because there charters
[4:20:52]
are still under us. No matter
[4:20:56]
manages that there still. Our
[4:21:02]
district. Enrollment. My
[4:21:07]
correct?
[4:21:07]
>> They're in the right. I
[4:21:09]
mean, they're in the overall
[4:21:13]
the bigger right, 50,000 loss,
[4:21:16]
right? Right. But I mean,
[4:21:17]
again, we're focused on the
[4:21:19]
capacity of district operated
[4:21:20]
schools, right? And the
[4:21:22]
question of of, you know, how
[4:21:25]
many we're playing 2 very
[4:21:27]
different games, right? If
[4:21:28]
you're a single charter
[4:21:31]
school, you know what? You are
[4:21:33]
enrollment cap And if you can
[4:21:34]
fill all of those seats, then
[4:21:35]
you're done and you put kids
[4:21:36]
on a wait list right? We don't
[4:21:38]
get to put anybody on a wet
[4:21:39]
right. We have to guarantee a
[4:21:43]
seat for everybody. And that's
[4:21:46]
the you know, that's the other
[4:21:47]
challenge of this. And it's
[4:21:50]
it's part of the great in the
[4:21:51]
crystal ball.
[4:21:53]
>> Is I think what Mr really
[4:21:57]
saying is those forecasts
[4:21:58]
presume that charters continue
[4:22:01]
to grow. Well. We we both in
[4:22:05]
the past year.
[4:22:06]
>> when you talk about high
[4:22:10]
school.
[4:22:13]
>> if you look at overall in
[4:22:13]
Manatee County students in
[4:22:18]
grades 9 through 12. The
[4:22:19]
overwhelming majority are our
[4:22:20]
schools, right? The market
[4:22:25]
share. District operating
[4:22:26]
versus charter operated as
[4:22:28]
much everything I think it's
[4:22:29]
near 90 10, right where his
[4:22:34]
middle school is 70, 30.
[4:22:36]
Right? So we're just I we have
[4:22:37]
outstanding high schools.
[4:22:39]
They're very, very competitive
[4:22:39]
because and that's why that's
[4:22:43]
why the red
[4:22:45]
>> numbers all the way over on
[4:22:45]
the right side of these
[4:22:46]
efforts. Iran says too, is.
[4:22:50]
Alarming.
[4:22:51]
>> And that's why MISTER
[4:22:53]
Pendley has a high school on
[4:22:53]
the road map, right? And has
[4:23:06]
for some All right. Stated So
[4:23:08]
>> the 67 year answer that you
[4:23:10]
give to built. What exactly
[4:23:11]
was that again, that we won't
[4:23:13]
need a high school for 6 or 7
[4:23:13]
years of what? What What was
[4:23:17]
answer to a question?
[4:23:22]
>> We in my opinion, you are
[4:23:25]
going to need a high school.
[4:23:26]
Okay.
[4:23:26]
>> But what the time frame for
[4:23:28]
that thing is
[4:23:29]
>> I think you need a very
[4:23:33]
soon So all of what I'm going
[4:23:35]
to see the and on the next
[4:23:36]
couple slides is that you
[4:23:40]
actually have. High school
[4:23:41]
capacity that's just in the
[4:23:41]
wrong place. Now, you don't
[4:23:47]
have enough. Up to this point.
[4:23:48]
We're showing enough so that
[4:23:52]
you did the math that said 20
[4:23:53]
23 Why find? Yeah. So you have
[4:23:57]
a lot of capacity Manatee High
[4:24:04]
and Bayshore high. It's just
[4:24:04]
you don't have the students
[4:24:08]
going over there so Do you
[4:24:09]
change that line? Don't know.
[4:24:12]
That's way beyond my pay
[4:24:13]
grade. In and again, I think
[4:24:14]
the key pieces.
[4:24:20]
>> That in a different type of
[4:24:21]
community. We'll right if we
[4:24:25]
had this problem. I could do
[4:24:26]
some really cool stuff with
[4:24:28]
school choice to address a lot
[4:24:31]
of that. But if I can't get
[4:24:31]
kids to the school in a
[4:24:34]
reasonable amount of time, the
[4:24:35]
school choice options become
[4:24:36]
very unattractive right?
[4:24:37]
Because really what you're
[4:24:40]
talking about is, you know,
[4:24:41]
designing some kind of new
[4:24:43]
magnet program that's wildly
[4:24:45]
popular. And you put hundreds
[4:24:48]
of kids on buses right on the
[4:24:50]
east side of the county and
[4:24:53]
you put them on state road 70.
[4:24:54]
All right. Then you move them
[4:24:59]
way It's just not going right?
[4:25:00]
And so that's our that's
[4:25:01]
dilemma. In terms of another
[4:25:06]
high school it's not just that
[4:25:08]
we have capacity of the wrong
[4:25:11]
place. It's that we don't have
[4:25:12]
the infrastructure to really
[4:25:13]
tap that capacity. So that's
[4:25:18]
our. That source truck. First
[4:25:19]
and the traffic situations is
[4:25:22]
a barrier
[4:25:22]
>> And that was just filling
[4:25:26]
with Google Maps and it's only
[4:25:27]
like 5 and half miles as the
[4:25:29]
crow flies between Braden
[4:25:31]
River, Porter ranch, and then
[4:25:32]
over to our new property.
[4:25:34]
Those pretty close right But I
[4:25:36]
guess that is what I mean. You
[4:25:38]
know, we thank you. Talked a
[4:25:40]
little earlier about the fact
[4:25:41]
goal at one time was, quote,
[4:25:45]
unquote, out you know, we. We
[4:25:48]
put a high school, you know.
[4:25:49]
10 miles east of Lakewood
[4:25:50]
Ranch, quote-unquote, out
[4:25:53]
middle of nowhere. Maybe in a
[4:25:53]
few years. It wouldn't be out
[4:25:57]
nowhere. I would just bring it
[4:25:58]
up. It seems like those are
[4:25:59]
really close. 5 high schools
[4:26:00]
within 5 and a half mile
[4:26:04]
distance from each other. But
[4:26:04]
we bought the property where
[4:26:05]
it is on the rain. It is what
[4:26:06]
it is. Getting something
[4:26:08]
farther out of these. Not
[4:26:12]
probably. Option an option at
[4:26:13]
this time feasible or not a
[4:26:16]
good idea to her.
[4:26:19]
>> The problem with something
[4:26:21]
further out east is. I don't
[4:26:26]
think there's. Much available
[4:26:26]
inside the future development
[4:26:28]
area boundary line. So now you
[4:26:34]
jump the line. Which were very
[4:26:36]
had that discussion. The
[4:26:37]
county commission allow us to
[4:26:38]
do that, we would be
[4:26:39]
responsible for extending the
[4:26:43]
water and sewer. And improving
[4:26:43]
the roadways to get out to the
[4:26:46]
site and that is that's a
[4:26:51]
heavy lived there. Okay. Your
[4:26:57]
your point is. Well, and if go
[4:26:59]
back and you look at the
[4:27:02]
proximity of Manatee high to
[4:27:03]
Bayshore high to southeast to
[4:27:06]
Palmetto High. There. Very
[4:27:09]
close They really are.
[4:27:10]
>> But as you get farther east
[4:27:10]
of the county and I hear what
[4:27:12]
you're saying probably not,
[4:27:12]
you know, when weigh the pros
[4:27:16]
and the cons changing the site
[4:27:16]
for this high schools, the
[4:27:17]
pros probably don't know where
[4:27:19]
the cars, but we do have the
[4:27:19]
transportation issues where
[4:27:24]
we're driving. 2025 miles out
[4:27:25]
in eastern part county where
[4:27:26]
you don't have that problem in
[4:27:27]
the western part of the
[4:27:27]
county.
[4:27:30]
>> You know. Dries up our
[4:27:30]
transportation costs even just
[4:27:34]
putting another school. You
[4:27:36]
really that schools only like
[4:27:37]
3 miles Laker and the new
[4:27:38]
flood. There's going to be
[4:27:40]
driving 0. 25 miles for the
[4:27:41]
hinterlands of the county
[4:27:42]
getting these students are not
[4:27:45]
really drives apart
[4:27:46]
transportation costs, but I
[4:27:48]
get pros and cons where the
[4:27:49]
property is. The best place
[4:27:50]
for it to one to have that
[4:27:57]
Thank you.
[4:27:57]
>> Where on the rain is for
[4:28:02]
the property? I haven't.
[4:28:04]
>> from a fort it is if work
[4:28:05]
from your sports because it's
[4:28:07]
directly to the west of that,
[4:28:11]
it's bordered on the North by
[4:28:13]
Range Land Park a Cane River
[4:28:16]
and on the East Post Road.
[4:28:18]
>> The only in the field out
[4:28:22]
there. That and Lorain Road on
[4:28:23]
West.
[4:28:23]
>> will then have we
[4:28:24]
considered any maybe little
[4:28:26]
further north, like near the
[4:28:28]
river either either MR. Or
[4:28:31]
Light my boundaries just like.
[4:28:32]
On the other side of the river
[4:28:36]
area.
[4:28:37]
>> just 100 acres laying
[4:28:42]
around somewhere we can your
[4:28:44]
going to fight at the future
[4:28:44]
site really we're going to
[4:28:45]
cover that use never mind. I
[4:28:51]
was I want to. Okay 40 years.
[4:28:52]
40 acres. So we want to. Get
[4:28:59]
to the next slide. So I
[4:29:00]
mentioned future high school
[4:29:01]
site was within that school
[4:29:06]
service area what we have full
[4:29:07]
map here. So here you can see
[4:29:13]
that. Most of the large
[4:29:14]
developments are in the
[4:29:19]
western half of school service
[4:29:20]
area, the yellow line which
[4:29:24]
follows. I-75 Andrew One is
[4:29:26]
the boundary and you see it's
[4:29:26]
kind of squeeze between that
[4:29:32]
and the f deadline you know,
[4:29:35]
we we generally generally hope
[4:29:38]
that there's not a lot of
[4:29:39]
development that goes past the
[4:29:39]
half because that creates
[4:29:43]
issue for us. Because where we
[4:29:46]
just don't have sites over
[4:29:47]
there, we have to rely on
[4:29:50]
developers and with rely on
[4:29:51]
their timing, an example. That
[4:29:56]
some more Taylor Ranch where?
[4:29:59]
Know spray familiar with that
[4:30:04]
We purchase that site. 2 years
[4:30:06]
ago, contracted and we will
[4:30:10]
close on it. Some time prior
[4:30:14]
to the end of 2027. Why so
[4:30:15]
long? Because there's no
[4:30:18]
infrastructure to with rely on
[4:30:20]
the developer to put it in all
[4:30:20]
the roads, water, sewer to get
[4:30:21]
to the site. Now, I think
[4:30:25]
they're working on that now. I
[4:30:26]
sent email to them a couple
[4:30:28]
days ago asking for a status
[4:30:29]
update. So I expect probably
[4:30:30]
by the end of the year we'll
[4:30:36]
have the site. But again, we
[4:30:37]
have it's a different
[4:30:38]
scenario. We can't just go buy
[4:30:38]
a side out there and
[4:30:41]
development because there's
[4:30:45]
>> no, hope that those solar
[4:30:46]
will develop correct
[4:30:47]
infrastructure though its
[4:30:50]
exact And that's what more
[4:30:52]
about the timing of when we
[4:30:55]
buy it. You know, yeah. You
[4:30:56]
buy field, that's what you
[4:30:59]
get. If you buy a field where
[4:31:03]
the road and utilities. That's
[4:31:04]
what you get. So that's kind
[4:31:05]
of like the scenario you've
[4:31:08]
got to go through and I'd
[4:31:09]
rather go slow and get what we
[4:31:16]
can from. Natural flow of
[4:31:19]
things sent to right. And
[4:31:21]
again, Lake Manatee and the
[4:31:21]
right Ranch.
[4:31:25]
>> Elementary School.
[4:31:26]
>> Both within the service
[4:31:28]
area. So that's a lot of
[4:31:32]
passed, it see. So now we get
[4:31:33]
into school service areas, 3,
[4:31:36]
4, And there certainly much
[4:31:38]
less growth projected here.
[4:31:39]
It's more more lausd and
[4:31:43]
easier to accommodate. So in
[4:31:45]
school service area 3, which
[4:31:46]
is South central portion of
[4:31:49]
the county. Once again, we're
[4:31:50]
showing that there's 3205
[4:31:53]
drawings and that area that
[4:31:56]
are we project 276 elementary
[4:31:59]
students, 122 middle school
[4:32:02]
students and 202 high school
[4:32:03]
students. We lots of student
[4:32:07]
capacity available here. 1515
[4:32:12]
elementary 193 metal and But
[4:32:16]
as for 96 on high school. For
[4:32:21]
a reason for high school, when
[4:32:22]
we compare the 2 we show that
[4:32:27]
have ample elementary space.
[4:32:30]
1239. We have enough. No
[4:32:31]
school space. I-71 and we have
[4:32:33]
enough high school space. But
[4:32:38]
284. So we we don't have any
[4:32:38]
issues in this area when it
[4:32:43]
comes to capacity. So most of
[4:32:47]
the growth that you see and
[4:32:47]
the slide, you know, infill
[4:32:50]
projects. There's nothing the
[4:32:51]
row significant size with the
[4:32:54]
exception of. Of villages Linn
[4:32:55]
Creek, which right across
[4:33:00]
across from at ski, that big
[4:33:01]
orange block. Just for a point
[4:33:02]
of reference, the big orange
[4:33:03]
walk on the right hand side of
[4:33:06]
the Tara, I can tell you that
[4:33:09]
again on the work for Manatee
[4:33:10]
County back in the Mid 80's
[4:33:10]
90's. We're working on terror
[4:33:15]
at that time. So. You know, I
[4:33:15]
answer Ms Felton's question
[4:33:20]
about how long we have. In it.
[4:33:22]
You know, it's all smoke and
[4:33:24]
mirrors because no one knows
[4:33:26]
for certain. But some of these
[4:33:27]
developments can take an
[4:33:27]
extremely long time to
[4:33:32]
develop. So the
[4:33:33]
>> That's villages. Glenn
[4:33:38]
Creek. Okay. That's the one
[4:33:40]
directly across from at ski
[4:33:41]
that used to be on Nixon.
[4:33:43]
Proof arms property.
[4:33:44]
>> Right. And they sold it
[4:33:46]
maybe 7 or 8 years ago. But
[4:33:48]
Johnson, yes, ma'am, this is a
[4:33:51]
property by John says,
[4:33:55]
>> All right. And the little
[4:33:55]
shaded site right there at the
[4:33:59]
Braden Little tiny, Green.
[4:34:09]
What is not? Right on the
[4:34:12]
river. Very top. Just. To the
[4:34:15]
right of the red box.
[4:34:20]
>> It what?
[4:34:25]
>> actually have listed.
[4:34:26]
>> Graphic here this one, not
[4:34:32]
sure the other by. That's just
[4:34:34]
north of It's not road from
[4:34:35]
asking downriver. Wright not
[4:34:40]
far from it over its, ok, my
[4:34:42]
heart, all of that. And think
[4:34:43]
right? Yeah, I can't think of
[4:34:46]
the name of it. But the I
[4:34:47]
mean, they've been building it
[4:34:49]
for about a year and a half.
[4:34:49]
That's not far from asking its
[4:34:55]
back. 20th. Sorry. 26,000
[4:35:01]
right? Up to drive up there
[4:35:04]
into evidence. I just never
[4:35:09]
drive that direction. And
[4:35:10]
finally, we have school
[4:35:12]
service area for again, one
[4:35:15]
that has very normalized
[4:35:19]
growth projections show 2657
[4:35:20]
remained rolling units in that
[4:35:23]
area. You can see that we
[4:35:27]
have. Plenty of capacity here
[4:35:31]
to accommodate 229 elementary
[4:35:34]
students projected against
[4:35:38]
1400 remaining capacity 101.
[4:35:41]
Middle school. Get 716 middle
[4:35:48]
and 167 versus 1110, 56 high
[4:35:48]
school you know, passed in.
[4:35:49]
This is what talking about
[4:35:52]
with your your high schools.
[4:35:53]
You have you have capacity is
[4:35:57]
just in this area. But what
[4:35:58]
this clearly shows, I think is
[4:36:00]
that you have a lot of unused
[4:36:02]
capacity and not only the high
[4:36:03]
school level, but having
[4:36:04]
elementary middle level as
[4:36:07]
well. Sos maybe areas want to
[4:36:14]
focus on. MR. Khan has a
[4:36:16]
question. My just for Looking
[4:36:19]
at Lake Flores.
[4:36:20]
>> flower excuse me. Yes.
[4:36:24]
Okay. Like Lawrence. If I
[4:36:25]
remember correctly, there was
[4:36:26]
some conversation about some
[4:36:26]
landing set aside and that
[4:36:28]
development to build in
[4:36:29]
elementary schools that now
[4:36:30]
off the table.
[4:36:37]
>> No, sir, that We did not. I
[4:36:39]
don't recall probably buzzing
[4:36:44]
a What I've consistently told
[4:36:45]
this board in previous boards
[4:36:49]
as I have a concern about.
[4:36:50]
Divesting ourself of the
[4:36:51]
property that is merely the
[4:36:55]
Jason Bayshore high is the
[4:36:56]
only piece of property that is
[4:36:58]
not owned by them. That is any
[4:37:01]
of these different size. And I
[4:37:05]
look at it. And it as a safety
[4:37:07]
valve for us. If we need to do
[4:37:08]
something, there's about 28
[4:37:12]
acres right there. It's the
[4:37:13]
site of the old man to
[4:37:14]
technical college it would be
[4:37:18]
easy for us to develop. Right
[4:37:20]
now. Our projections don't
[4:37:21]
show that we need it certainly
[4:37:26]
time soon. Depending what you
[4:37:28]
do with redistricting. We
[4:37:31]
could get to a point where we
[4:37:34]
need it. Even though we're not
[4:37:34]
showing a lot of growth here
[4:37:39]
right now. There are 6500
[4:37:43]
units approved in that. Yeah.
[4:37:46]
What's the name again? They
[4:37:47]
change Flower City or yeah, it
[4:37:51]
was like for So they're 6500
[4:37:52]
units overall prove they're
[4:37:52]
they're just not a stage where
[4:37:55]
they can build So if you know
[4:37:56]
you're going to see more
[4:37:57]
impacts in the future in that
[4:38:04]
area. With all that MISTER
[4:38:05]
Reno, he's going to present
[4:38:06]
the next line. I just want to
[4:38:10]
make a another comment about
[4:38:11]
currency. One. As original
[4:38:11]
been, just keep keep in mind,
[4:38:16]
word that. Ssa for is where?
[4:38:20]
Some of our highest.
[4:38:22]
>> Meade schools are from
[4:38:23]
economic perspective. And so
[4:38:25]
when our title one schools.
[4:38:29]
>> Were your?
[4:38:33]
>> Offering more services?
[4:38:35]
When we do those program
[4:38:37]
capacity adjustments move free
[4:38:40]
space is going to get smaller
[4:38:42]
because of the number of
[4:38:42]
different resource rooms that
[4:38:46]
are running in those schools.
[4:38:50]
That's also from the vpk
[4:38:51]
perspective, right? Important
[4:38:52]
target areas since we know
[4:38:54]
that when we get kids into
[4:38:56]
vpk, there were likely to be
[4:38:59]
reading on grade level by
[4:39:00]
grade 3. And so although on
[4:39:01]
paper we've got lots of room
[4:39:05]
there. That's a good thing.
[4:39:09]
From the perspective of, you
[4:39:10]
know, really concentrating on
[4:39:15]
early learning.
[4:39:17]
>> The this next slide, Mike
[4:39:19]
talked about the top for
[4:39:23]
groupings of the ssa. The new
[4:39:27]
part here is bottom bottom
[4:39:29]
group. And that has to do with
[4:39:32]
totaling all of the everything
[4:39:36]
that is in reservation right
[4:39:41]
now. Re you can see gee,
[4:39:41]
graphically ssa one as is say
[4:39:44]
to at the high school level.
[4:39:48]
Concerns. There are 2300 the
[4:39:52]
other issue that I look at is
[4:39:53]
that as they say one to the
[4:39:57]
elementary level with 138.
[4:39:59]
Student station capacity to
[4:40:05]
me, that's that's about 8 or 9
[4:40:08]
classrooms for ssa. One. And
[4:40:10]
then for ssa to that's about
[4:40:11]
10 elementary classroom serve.
[4:40:15]
You begin to. You know, once
[4:40:16]
you look beyond the growth, if
[4:40:18]
you begin to consider some in
[4:40:22]
migration and all that, you
[4:40:22]
can eat up that capacity as
[4:40:25]
well in the exact same. And
[4:40:28]
that's a 3 at the middle level
[4:40:29]
with only 71. So that's
[4:40:31]
basically 3 classrooms worth
[4:40:33]
of space when it comes to the
[4:40:36]
middle school level. But, you
[4:40:37]
know, overall is Mike said
[4:40:42]
we're at it. 44,000 little
[4:40:43]
over 44,000 units and taking
[4:40:45]
them down and roughly 7,000
[4:40:50]
units. A year during that
[4:40:51]
time, 7 to 8 year range at
[4:40:53]
this point right now. And you
[4:40:59]
can see overall. We are
[4:41:02]
negative for 1000 for the high
[4:41:03]
school. But keeping in mind as
[4:41:06]
say one, and this is a 2. They
[4:41:08]
they have positive because of
[4:41:11]
what happens in 3, 4, So I
[4:41:15]
mean, it's definitely
[4:41:16]
geographic. It's definitely
[4:41:18]
bit of a district-wide
[4:41:19]
challenge that we that we're
[4:41:22]
going to be facing. So like to
[4:41:25]
talk a little bit more about
[4:41:25]
Concurrency know Arnold is
[4:41:27]
presented so.
[4:41:27]
>> concurrence who was
[4:41:35]
established? Again, it's a
[4:41:36]
fail safe mechanism to
[4:41:39]
regulatory tools. Growth gets
[4:41:42]
too far ahead. There are
[4:41:44]
mechanisms in place to. Try to
[4:41:49]
right the ship for example, if
[4:41:50]
you have a concurrency fellow
[4:41:54]
year. You could ask the county
[4:42:00]
commission to stop growth.
[4:42:04]
Developers have the option.
[4:42:05]
Basically to do proportionate
[4:42:05]
share mitigation agreement
[4:42:09]
where? They could come in and
[4:42:10]
say, okay, we're going to
[4:42:12]
build a classroom wing for you
[4:42:15]
to accommodate our impacts or
[4:42:17]
they MAY prepay all of their
[4:42:21]
impact fees or they MAY a deal
[4:42:22]
where they give you a school
[4:42:23]
board site. Now that doesn't
[4:42:28]
help with capacity, but it the
[4:42:29]
concept is they will mitigate
[4:42:32]
their impacts. One of the
[4:42:36]
things that we did years
[4:42:40]
because there is the freeze on
[4:42:41]
impact these for years. We had
[4:42:41]
discussion with the board
[4:42:46]
that. We were. We were
[4:42:48]
starting to experience some.
[4:42:53]
Currency issues. And
[4:42:55]
developers actually supported
[4:42:58]
us on the impact fees. And
[4:42:59]
that's because they want
[4:43:02]
certainty when a developer.
[4:43:05]
Goes to buy a piece of
[4:43:06]
property and they invest
[4:43:07]
millions of dollars into the
[4:43:10]
planning and permitting of it.
[4:43:11]
They want certainty. They want
[4:43:12]
know that they can pay and go
[4:43:17]
so they with the impact fees
[4:43:18]
we use those impact fees for
[4:43:20]
capacity related improve so
[4:43:22]
they can you know, they pay
[4:43:23]
that impact the and we go
[4:43:24]
build an improvement. We put
[4:43:27]
it on our five-year work plan.
[4:43:28]
One sits on that plan. It gets
[4:43:31]
counted. Were concurrence.
[4:43:32]
Okay. Now we're not counting
[4:43:33]
everything here. We didn't
[4:43:35]
count the high school. This is
[4:43:36]
a different exercise. This is
[4:43:40]
a planning exercise today. We
[4:43:41]
did not have a concurrent see
[4:43:45]
for all your in this county.
[4:43:48]
Elementary schools. The wake
[4:43:53]
currency is set up is
[4:43:54]
elementary schools would that
[4:43:56]
have to be at 110% of capacity
[4:44:01]
for there to be a failure? No
[4:44:02]
schools will be at 105%
[4:44:05]
capacity for failure. High
[4:44:10]
schools will be at 100%.
[4:44:10]
There's no high school being
[4:44:12]
planned. Now we have courage
[4:44:16]
to tell you. But with the one
[4:44:20]
that and the work plan. Even
[4:44:21]
though we're not counting
[4:44:22]
here, you don't have a
[4:44:23]
concurrency If that makes
[4:44:26]
sense of So I just kind of
[4:44:29]
want to lay that out there for
[4:44:30]
you. So at least in
[4:44:31]
elementary, middle were
[4:44:32]
nowhere even close to a
[4:44:33]
concurrency failure. But high
[4:44:37]
school. Yeah, we that's
[4:44:38]
something we're keeping an eye
[4:44:41]
on.
[4:44:44]
>> If I In layman terms, I
[4:44:47]
just want put this into layman
[4:44:51]
terms for some people. When
[4:44:51]
you're talking about
[4:44:52]
concurrency failure and stuff
[4:44:55]
like that. Because we have a
[4:44:57]
vision that were potentially
[4:44:58]
going to have to put in a new
[4:45:01]
high school. That keeps us
[4:45:07]
within next. Concurrency. No
[4:45:09]
different. Then your projected
[4:45:10]
to spend $500 that are
[4:45:12]
checking account. But you have
[4:45:15]
a direct deposit coming So
[4:45:16]
that's going to keep here in
[4:45:20]
the plot. That's kind of like.
[4:45:24]
People talk date, Anders I
[4:45:26]
don't understand, didn't
[4:45:26]
understand a lot of us until I
[4:45:27]
went to the doctors are going
[4:45:28]
over and over and over it down
[4:45:31]
Pat. And look at definition
[4:45:36]
actually doing that. So. You
[4:45:37]
know, I'm a term. That's what
[4:45:39]
that means. Am I correct in
[4:45:40]
your that? In the counting
[4:45:41]
system.
[4:45:43]
>> All right. And that I can
[4:45:44]
think of right. You want to
[4:45:50]
say about
[4:45:52]
>> In so I I think Mike, he's
[4:45:53]
gone through most of moon. We
[4:45:54]
know growth forecasts. A dent
[4:45:58]
says they want to. We will
[4:46:02]
need elementary and high
[4:46:04]
school relief ssa One. And
[4:46:05]
there is that as I say, 3, we
[4:46:07]
MAY need some middle school
[4:46:10]
relief as a for 3 in 4 has
[4:46:11]
adequate capacity keeping our
[4:46:13]
over. When you look at it
[4:46:16]
overall is keeping it up. But
[4:46:18]
geographically, as a says,
[4:46:18]
it's a mismatch between
[4:46:19]
location where we need the
[4:46:24]
capacities right now. And then
[4:46:25]
here's Peeps Mike and I up at
[4:46:28]
night. The unknowns. How
[4:46:29]
quickly will these remaining
[4:46:34]
drilling units be constructed?
[4:46:34]
That's something that that we
[4:46:38]
watch. We try trend. You know,
[4:46:39]
we we've got an idea of what's
[4:46:42]
coming right now with the
[4:46:42]
present conditions were
[4:46:44]
percentages of students
[4:46:46]
generated for the reigning
[4:46:47]
Tuesday go to district
[4:46:52]
schools. Innovation and school
[4:46:52]
choice is expected to continue
[4:46:56]
in Florida. We're committed to
[4:46:57]
family focused approach in
[4:46:59]
recruitment as well underway.
[4:47:03]
We have the group with their
[4:47:06]
MISTER Clark. And we must
[4:47:09]
prevent the big point is we
[4:47:12]
don't have the ability to say
[4:47:14]
that we've reached capacity.
[4:47:14]
Therefore, we put you on a
[4:47:17]
waiting list. We We need to
[4:47:18]
find a home for the students
[4:47:22]
when they come in and will
[4:47:24]
manatee continue to approve
[4:47:25]
the residential developments
[4:47:25]
at the rate we've seen over
[4:47:28]
the past 5 years. And what is
[4:47:28]
the outlook for the future
[4:47:29]
boundary lines? So those are
[4:47:33]
all. Elements to the pieces.
[4:47:36]
As we're looking at the
[4:47:36]
rezoning we're trying to, you
[4:47:40]
know, figure out where where
[4:47:40]
we're doing growth that was
[4:47:44]
The mayor, anyone has any
[4:47:44]
answer.
[4:47:50]
>> throw into Boundary line
[4:47:51]
can be determined every 2
[4:47:55]
years. As the cycles go
[4:47:57]
through. So. That's such a
[4:48:05]
there.
[4:48:10]
>> MISTER Clerk. Shows both
[4:48:12]
future good afternoon board
[4:48:12]
afternoon. So now we'll talk
[4:48:18]
about future projects for 20
[4:48:19]
27 and beyond. Sounds like a
[4:48:21]
as you heard about a lot of
[4:48:25]
growth anticipated growth and
[4:48:26]
s has a one in 2 regions, one
[4:48:28]
So we have some projects that
[4:48:29]
were planning to do in those
[4:48:30]
areas. First up, we have.
[4:48:33]
>> Lake Manatee k 8, as you
[4:48:34]
know, that'll be finishing up
[4:48:36]
this year. We're already
[4:48:39]
talking about and to classroom
[4:48:41]
building addition to that
[4:48:43]
right? You'll see that we use
[4:48:45]
the same architect, which is
[4:48:46]
hks, do not have to see him
[4:48:50]
yet. The funding source would
[4:48:56]
be the propose cops 2026.
[4:48:57]
Project budget would be up
[4:49:02]
17.5 million dollars. You can
[4:49:04]
see the design start. We
[4:49:04]
looked at the start. That
[4:49:07]
design and MARCH of 2026. With
[4:49:10]
the completion date of JULY.
[4:49:11]
27, which is the 27 28 school
[4:49:16]
year. Approximately looking at
[4:49:17]
about 32,000 Square feet and
[4:49:18]
all out to be fleshed out
[4:49:22]
through the design because
[4:49:24]
quick lot, 18 classroom, 18
[4:49:25]
classrooms, approximately 360
[4:49:27]
students could be a. Some more
[4:49:35]
depending on design. Next Is
[4:49:37]
the barber Harvey North River
[4:49:38]
Ranch. Real similar to Lake
[4:49:43]
Manatee. We'll stay with a
[4:49:44]
Saint. Harvard its architect
[4:49:44]
of that building. So we'll
[4:49:48]
stay with that company. Be a 2
[4:49:50]
story classroom building
[4:49:53]
addition, we look to use the
[4:49:56]
cops proposed caps for 2026.
[4:50:00]
Do not have acm for that yet.
[4:50:01]
Project budget similar to Lake
[4:50:04]
Manatee. Be 17.5 million time.
[4:50:07]
I will similar. MARCH 2026.
[4:50:10]
For the project. Design.
[4:50:11]
Project proposed completion of
[4:50:16]
the that JULY 27. 2027. Yes, I
[4:50:19]
spent yeah. The first question
[4:50:20]
going get out in the public
[4:50:21]
this.
[4:50:26]
>> Okay. Lake Manatee isn't
[4:50:32]
even open yet. Adding on. A
[4:50:38]
17.5 million. Correct?
[4:50:39]
Assessment?
[4:50:41]
>> And to the incident. For
[4:50:42]
the additional classroom
[4:50:45]
space. The student growth that
[4:50:55]
way when we Thought about.
[4:50:56]
>> That's late. Manatee k
[4:50:57]
through every thought about
[4:50:59]
the k through 8. When was
[4:51:00]
that? We started talking about
[4:51:03]
it 2 years ago.
[4:51:04]
>> Was it was a party, least
[4:51:05]
when I got a
[4:51:10]
>> did we not? Think We're
[4:51:10]
going to have before even get
[4:51:13]
a bill.
[4:51:16]
>> Well, I mean, design wise,
[4:51:17]
much like we do parish
[4:51:18]
community where we did the
[4:51:20]
addition.
[4:51:24]
>> We we have the grating
[4:51:26]
done. We've got the building
[4:51:26]
pad ready, and we've got all
[4:51:33]
the utilities said to tie into
[4:51:35]
At that The keep in mind
[4:51:35]
manatee, Kate was up over
[4:51:42]
100 million dollars. We did
[4:51:43]
not have additional funding at
[4:51:47]
that point to do it. When we
[4:51:47]
say that it's going to be part
[4:51:51]
of the cops 2026. So that's
[4:51:53]
the 2 additions along with the
[4:51:56]
high school possibly being
[4:51:58]
part of that cops issuing 2026
[4:52:02]
to do so. My.
[4:52:02]
>> Response to constituents is
[4:52:06]
going to be. It's not so much
[4:52:08]
a planning problem. It's a
[4:52:09]
funding.
[4:52:10]
>> read in part funding. But
[4:52:13]
we want to make sure that
[4:52:15]
we've got to students to right
[4:52:16]
i mean, right. So we feel into
[4:52:20]
way up
[4:52:21]
>> Basically is there you go.
[4:52:24]
A new term grow as you and
[4:52:26]
then, of course, the funding
[4:52:31]
have to follow that, too. So
[4:52:32]
when projected like the k
[4:52:36]
through 8. We didn't know back
[4:52:41]
let the growth would be and I
[4:52:46]
can't even say what the cost
[4:52:47]
it was going to be back then
[4:52:52]
to what it is today. So that's
[4:52:56]
huge kind of thing. What
[4:52:56]
vice-chair. It's that. But
[4:52:58]
it's also I mean, is as put
[4:52:59]
the finishing touches on the
[4:53:02]
parish addition right?
[4:53:04]
>> The community is asked, why
[4:53:05]
did it take so long to have
[4:53:07]
this building? And it's like,
[4:53:08]
because when that design was
[4:53:11]
locked the growth was an
[4:53:17]
accelerating the growth has
[4:53:18]
slowed since these 2 new
[4:53:19]
projects were kind of put in
[4:53:21]
place. If anything, without
[4:53:27]
the kind of creative. To
[4:53:27]
campus solution would be. We'd
[4:53:28]
be talking about another
[4:53:30]
elementary school that.
[4:53:32]
>> We'd be looking emergency
[4:53:32]
building.
[4:53:36]
>> Right. I mean, to relieve
[4:53:36]
hard.
[4:53:37]
>> Because really using what
[4:53:38]
was going to be a middle
[4:53:39]
school.
[4:53:44]
>> To do that relief so the
[4:53:46]
alternative because again,
[4:53:47]
that there's in the board
[4:53:51]
would have vote to do another
[4:53:52]
cops issuance. The alternative
[4:53:54]
to this is to not do those
[4:53:56]
additions. It is the school
[4:53:58]
fields. We put 4 doubles out.
[4:54:00]
You know where those spots
[4:54:01]
are. And we live in portables
[4:54:05]
for a while. Right? And then
[4:54:06]
and then we build the
[4:54:07]
additions later. But then
[4:54:08]
you're going to have the same
[4:54:09]
questions of why did you plan
[4:54:11]
for the super? Well, we're
[4:54:11]
ready. It's just a question
[4:54:16]
of. Does the board want to
[4:54:17]
make that investment or do we
[4:54:18]
want to let things ride for a
[4:54:19]
while and see what happened?
[4:54:21]
That's you know, that's really
[4:54:24]
where we're at. You build it
[4:54:26]
and growth slows and then you
[4:54:29]
got to get the way and people
[4:54:29]
are saying why do you have to
[4:54:32]
swing parents students? So.
[4:54:33]
>> And that no, basically why
[4:54:34]
I wanted to spend that
[4:54:38]
question. So you could explain
[4:54:40]
through you're Next up, we
[4:54:42]
have the triple a high school,
[4:54:44]
my grandson, lot of that talk
[4:54:47]
about that as we said, it's
[4:54:51]
right next to premier And it's
[4:54:54]
we're looking probably use a
[4:54:55]
prototype that started it in
[4:54:57]
play do not have an architect
[4:54:59]
Rcm identified funding source
[4:55:00]
once again propose cops 2026
[4:55:06]
in need. Prior estimate.
[4:55:10]
200 million dollars. All
[4:55:11]
right. I want to say that
[4:55:15]
again, if shot. Schedule
[4:55:16]
looking at take 6 to 9 months
[4:55:18]
to design. About 2 years to
[4:55:21]
build it out. So high schools
[4:55:25]
take a long time. As you know,
[4:55:26]
campus. As I said, it's on 100
[4:55:28]
acre Parcel Lakewood Ranch
[4:55:29]
area. And we already own that
[4:55:33]
piece land. There quick
[4:55:38]
question when you set.
[4:55:39]
Potential prototype that we
[4:55:44]
are. You have. Is that why
[4:55:45]
other districts are building
[4:55:47]
right now? Sarasota.
[4:55:48]
>> As one under construction
[4:55:52]
down in Venice and we visited
[4:55:55]
one so already. So we would
[4:55:55]
find one that the other
[4:55:57]
districts are using that we
[4:55:59]
can kick the tires and so,
[4:56:01]
yeah, it works for us.
[4:56:04]
>> Cut. And that would cost.
[4:56:09]
That reduce cost architectural
[4:56:10]
services, correct?
[4:56:12]
>> Yes, like to design as
[4:56:12]
well.
[4:56:14]
>> If back off of their time,
[4:56:18]
right? Yes, ma'am. Okay. And
[4:56:19]
that could lower those
[4:56:21]
projected estimate down. I
[4:56:24]
$1000 or so.
[4:56:28]
>> take
[4:56:29]
>> There there are multiple
[4:56:30]
districts right now that are
[4:56:32]
building new high school. Some
[4:56:34]
a lot of districts in Florida
[4:56:35]
do have declining enrollment.
[4:56:36]
But there are a few of us that
[4:56:37]
are growing there were several
[4:56:40]
districts right now in in
[4:56:42]
design or construction for new
[4:56:43]
high schools. So there there
[4:56:43]
are multiple options out
[4:56:46]
there.
[4:56:47]
>> Okay. So you're saying the
[4:56:51]
one that you visited is up and
[4:56:51]
going.
[4:56:52]
>> And are calling under
[4:56:55]
construction right now. The
[4:56:58]
Venice area. Well, and it will
[4:56:59]
what it called Bowling Park.
[4:57:02]
>> Willing to my heart.
[4:57:06]
>> I think 40 that year. I
[4:57:07]
think in the end I think
[4:57:07]
they're going to be up for the
[4:57:11]
next school 2 under right.
[4:57:12]
>> So they're going to be open
[4:57:13]
next year. There's building
[4:57:16]
now still doing a finishing.
[4:57:19]
Okay finish and MISS Them.
[4:57:20]
>> On the map here for the
[4:57:25]
projected aaa school what what
[4:57:26]
are the buildings Joining the
[4:57:28]
property?
[4:57:31]
>> will see You mean to the
[4:57:36]
south of the south? That is
[4:57:37]
probably get the name wrong.
[4:57:38]
But you'll get the idea. It's
[4:57:41]
like what Range.
[4:57:44]
>> Interim district, major
[4:57:48]

[4:57:51]

[4:58:00]
about Friday night lights
[4:58:00]
right?
[4:58:01]
>> then there's fire station,
[4:58:05]
right? The wrongs well.
[4:58:06]
>> there's one, there's one
[4:58:09]
property owner.
[4:58:12]

[4:58:18]

[4:58:21]

[4:58:31]

[4:58:51]
All You have a question. I'm
[4:58:52]
trying figure out where 44 get
[4:58:54]
a bit of rain. Jump First.
[4:58:54]
>> Everyone's minds working
[4:58:55]
slower than everybody else is
[4:58:59]
apparently finally got So
[4:59:00]
stations with a couple of you,
[4:59:01]
there are some other ideas
[4:59:04]
about the school other than
[4:59:05]
$200,000 to 1000 high school,
[4:59:08]
right? We want to. Go down
[4:59:10]
that road right is a good time
[4:59:13]
just think it's the me you got
[4:59:15]
100 acre.
[4:59:16]
>> There's some uniqueness to
[4:59:20]
it. So I do think there are.
[4:59:23]
Multiple options so could
[4:59:24]
build on less than less than
[4:59:27]
100 acres so that you have a
[4:59:28]
future small school site if
[4:59:32]
you needed it. We've talked
[4:59:33]
about the fact you as the
[4:59:37]
district continues to grow
[4:59:39]
this building is no longer the
[4:59:39]
middle of the school district.
[4:59:46]
Right? So you you know, you
[4:59:49]
MAY want to carve out a few
[4:59:49]
acres and build a small East
[4:59:50]
County office. Right now we're
[4:59:52]
reading some space in
[4:59:52]
welcoming a lot of families
[4:59:54]
there, which is great. But you
[4:59:58]
could do that. I think there's
[5:00:01]
some options for how you
[5:00:02]
design and grew into the high
[5:00:04]
you know, as well. We've
[5:00:05]
talked about, you know, a
[5:00:09]
multi phase project. So I
[5:00:10]
think think there's just think
[5:00:12]
multiple possibilities for
[5:00:14]
this for the site.
[5:00:18]
>> What when is the Have the
[5:00:19]
discussion during further
[5:00:20]
budget cuts later in the
[5:00:23]
spring or or
[5:00:25]
>> Well, I think think the
[5:00:27]
first, you know, I think the
[5:00:33]
first piece of it is the
[5:00:33]
establishing the need to write
[5:00:37]
the y and then, you know.
[5:00:38]
Making sure that that we're
[5:00:40]
headed in the right direction
[5:00:42]
as a team with looking at
[5:00:44]
design. And then I think it's
[5:00:47]
getting architect of talking
[5:00:47]
through, you know, the
[5:00:53]
possibilities. But certainly
[5:00:54]
if there are specific ideas
[5:00:54]
about what else to do with the
[5:01:01]
site. It's a good time for
[5:01:02]
those conversations. I think
[5:01:03]
get we've talked about We've
[5:01:04]
talked about a number of
[5:01:10]
ideas. So is this your best?
[5:01:11]
>> I heard like the 6th or 12
[5:01:13]
but based on what you've all
[5:01:14]
talked about, is this your
[5:01:15]
recommendation through is that
[5:01:18]
we just go ahead with plan as
[5:01:19]
planned or
[5:01:21]
>> could You I think we've I 6
[5:01:22]
through 12 is one of the
[5:01:25]
things we've you know, have
[5:01:28]
talked about it again. Just
[5:01:29]
just hypothetical
[5:01:31]
conversations around the
[5:01:32]
table. I don't know that
[5:01:32]
there's and I don't know that
[5:01:35]
we see the need. This is Sarah
[5:01:36]
Lee and data. But it is
[5:01:41]
option. So, yes, I think
[5:01:42]
there's any number things that
[5:01:44]
can be done. I think certainly
[5:01:47]
we could design a beautiful
[5:01:48]
would the 100 acre high
[5:01:54]
school? I I I just my my
[5:01:55]
thought is I don't know that
[5:01:57]
we're going to get 100 acres
[5:01:58]
like this And so let's be sure
[5:02:05]
the design phase that. We
[5:02:06]
don't leak something out. And
[5:02:07]
later go, we have done this a
[5:02:09]
little more tightly right, we
[5:02:11]
could have done something
[5:02:12]
else. On the other hand, when
[5:02:12]
you look at Lakewood Ranch,
[5:02:15]
High School, right out of
[5:02:17]
space, we do get questions
[5:02:19]
about why wasn't that built a
[5:02:20]
little bit larger? Well,
[5:02:22]
because when it opens 20 years
[5:02:23]
ago, people wondered why you
[5:02:26]
needed ice out there right? So
[5:02:27]
I think you know, it's just
[5:02:33]
working through that process.
[5:02:33]
>> So the choice will need its
[5:02:35]
own stadium. I mean, is it
[5:02:39]
feasible to share stadiums I
[5:02:40]
know a high school like logo
[5:02:41]
on there, but it is a feasible
[5:02:44]
to sheriff stadiums and so
[5:02:45]
says schools are somewhat
[5:02:49]
close together. I don't that
[5:02:50]
addition running track movie
[5:02:52]
for a gym or something. But
[5:02:52]
and then you have the premier
[5:02:54]
sports campus is right there.
[5:02:57]
I don't know he just ideas,
[5:03:01]
but this is what he does.
[5:03:02]
>> MR. Clarke's a former high
[5:03:04]
school principal say he he
[5:03:05]
could probably win. And I
[5:03:06]
think that's what Dr Watson
[5:03:09]
said. You you talk about
[5:03:10]
Lakewood Ranch and they're not
[5:03:13]
having baseball field or
[5:03:14]
>> a softball field or sharing
[5:03:17]
it with the county county that
[5:03:17]
presents challenges. Man. I
[5:03:21]
have the baseball field miles
[5:03:22]
away from I don't have to. I
[5:03:25]
talked to was on it. Hope we
[5:03:25]
got to think about the future
[5:03:28]
and try to keep that in mind.
[5:03:29]
It is a challenge not having
[5:03:32]
some of those things on campus
[5:03:33]
for sure. I know there are
[5:03:34]
other district down in Miami
[5:03:35]
this stadiums and things. I'm
[5:03:39]
sure that is a challenge but
[5:03:40]
but for for me, you know,
[5:03:42]
having high school having all
[5:03:43]
those resources right there on
[5:03:46]
campus is ideal. Those will be
[5:03:50]
conversations for sure.
[5:03:54]
>> 0 million you know,
[5:03:57]
follow-up note my point,
[5:03:58]
another trade up in life very
[5:03:58]
up for principle to have all
[5:04:02]
that stuff Save 20 million
[5:04:04]
dollars. They something about.
[5:04:07]
Thank have.
[5:04:11]
>> All of that. You know, I'm
[5:04:12]
not we do need do this today.
[5:04:13]
All these thought, but I want
[5:04:14]
to make sure that as we go
[5:04:19]
this process. That we are
[5:04:20]
looking at every single option
[5:04:24]
right? Not only does face
[5:04:25]
potentially that we're using
[5:04:31]
for this, but I personally.
[5:04:32]
Find it very hard to swallow
[5:04:34]
200,000 200 million dollars.
[5:04:39]
One we've got. 3 schools. That
[5:04:40]
are well that are under
[5:04:43]
capacity. That in the future
[5:04:45]
next 3 or 4 years are probably
[5:04:49]
going to stay that way. On the
[5:04:52]
West Side. High school degree.
[5:04:58]
And I my son, we talked about
[5:04:58]
it. Youve got Braden River.
[5:05:02]
That's only it like 1800 kids.
[5:05:05]
Inland. They could good
[5:05:07]
nother, something he built
[5:05:10]
there. Help like the range
[5:05:11]
open up to where the new
[5:05:12]
development here is gonna be
[5:05:13]
able to be held at Lakewood
[5:05:19]
Ranch I just want to make are
[5:05:20]
looking at every single option
[5:05:24]
that's out there. Because if
[5:05:28]
not, going to get into what
[5:05:29]
we're seeing. A lot of
[5:05:30]
parliamentary schools in the
[5:05:34]
west side of is half the
[5:05:34]
schools.
[5:05:40]
>> And in.
[5:05:41]
>> I know the next 5 we're
[5:05:42]
going to talk about today here
[5:05:46]
in a minute. Know but there's
[5:05:47]
there's there's still costs
[5:05:50]
are running in campus.
[5:05:51]
Hate-filled. It's time make
[5:05:52]
sure we're looking at every
[5:05:57]
single option we possibly can.
[5:05:59]
That's a little that's All
[5:05:59]
safe to down. Not going to get
[5:06:02]
anything crazy
[5:06:07]
>> CHAIRMAN, mean, if the As
[5:06:09]
we have discussion, if there's
[5:06:14]
discomfort. That 200 million
[5:06:20]
dollar price tag. Obviously we
[5:06:24]
would have to find a way. To
[5:06:25]
accommodate the growth. And so
[5:06:26]
I'm prepared to bring you a
[5:06:30]
proposal. That doesn't call
[5:06:34]
for that. A high school. But
[5:06:35]
it will. But it'll be a pretty
[5:06:40]
significant. Structural
[5:06:41]
change. And so we just have to
[5:06:46]
be prepared for. The effects
[5:06:48]
of rolling that out as a
[5:06:49]
public proposal because there
[5:06:52]
is a way to do it. That it's
[5:06:57]
significant. And so, you know,
[5:06:58]
again, not ready to throw that
[5:06:59]
on the table today, but if
[5:07:01]
something that we want to
[5:07:05]
schedule that will build
[5:07:05]
concept out.
[5:07:06]
>> but I think would I think
[5:07:10]
it would raise some eyebrows.
[5:07:11]
>> We'll get it get press
[5:07:12]
worth a conversation or just
[5:07:14]
to be sure. And like, no, we
[5:07:15]
don't want write it out. I
[5:07:15]
mean, I don't think this area.
[5:07:18]
So there's necessarily
[5:07:20]
>> get the growth all the
[5:07:20]
different North South. And we
[5:07:21]
are east west of the river
[5:07:24]
involved in things like that.
[5:07:25]
I do think we're Sarasota,
[5:07:27]
different beyond us right here
[5:07:32]
in this room, particularly
[5:07:32]
make the decisions. You know,
[5:07:34]
your path is.
[5:07:36]
>> I think they.
[5:07:37]
>> All of their high school
[5:07:41]
except for one. 2500 kids,
[5:07:42]
right? You've always said if
[5:07:44]
you want high schools that
[5:07:45]
big, you know, in high school
[5:07:45]
that big right now, obviously
[5:07:47]
with that direction, they went
[5:07:49]
that direction and they added
[5:07:50]
on or they build a new school.
[5:07:52]
They made it bigger to
[5:07:53]
accommodate that kind of
[5:07:55]
stuff. Mean, we do that as
[5:07:55]
well we could with a grant
[5:07:56]
high school. There's no
[5:07:57]
question that that was pretty
[5:07:58]
much tapped out as county.
[5:08:01]
Want to give us some of their
[5:08:02]
fields right? And so I just
[5:08:04]
want to make sure that that
[5:08:04]
again, that we're looking at
[5:08:07]
every option and those today
[5:08:09]
and maybe that shocking like
[5:08:10]
that. The one change, maybe
[5:08:10]
it's like, no, that's not
[5:08:13]
really worth it right but, you
[5:08:14]
know, I think that I think
[5:08:17]
it's. We've got to go through
[5:08:20]
the whole due diligence.
[5:08:24]
Rather than yeah, just let's
[5:08:25]
just do. Cops are just, you
[5:08:28]
know, 200 million dollars and
[5:08:29]
MR. Pilley mentioned all of a
[5:08:30]
sudden you tonight. I'm not
[5:08:30]
saying it's going to happen at
[5:08:35]
all. Who knows? But you get
[5:08:35]
something like that. And all
[5:08:36]
the sudden we've got these
[5:08:39]
cops and you've got to pay.
[5:08:39]
You know, we're not we don't
[5:08:40]
have we don't have impact
[5:08:41]
these come in. We don't have
[5:08:43]
those things. The payback. So
[5:08:44]
i think it's it's prudent for
[5:08:45]
us to go through all of our
[5:08:48]
due diligence. This talking
[5:08:50]
about future project options,
[5:08:51]
though. That's, you know, why
[5:08:52]
bring up that can all be out
[5:08:58]
right? The strike
[5:09:07]
>> not just sticker shock One
[5:09:09]
comment, MISTER Tatum. So was
[5:09:17]
about. Building or you MAY be
[5:09:20]
said, adding site for. Parents
[5:09:21]
and student just serve the
[5:09:25]
community. Some are what we do
[5:09:28]
here and north of the river, I
[5:09:32]
think would be good use. You
[5:09:32]
know, if we go direction to
[5:09:37]
build that. To even add to
[5:09:38]
that.
[5:09:40]
>> It could be a.
[5:09:45]
>> Alternative source.
[5:09:47]
>> aboard If we wanted to go
[5:09:50]
remote to that area or
[5:09:51]
whatever, that even be option
[5:09:53]
to serve 5 of the kind of
[5:09:58]
this. Who wants to drive. From
[5:10:00]
all the way out the Lorain
[5:10:02]
Road or even Myakka. To
[5:10:07]
downtown Bradenton. And I said
[5:10:10]
this a thing yesterday during
[5:10:12]
a meeting where all about
[5:10:12]
customer service, no matter
[5:10:18]
what role we're As elected
[5:10:19]
people here. That's what our
[5:10:23]
role is. Just are. The
[5:10:24]
district communities we move
[5:10:31]
in represent so. District 5
[5:10:31]
benefit from that kind of a
[5:10:35]
building. I think it but work.
[5:10:36]
But I don't know if it be
[5:10:43]
included in 200 Million. That
[5:10:43]
that's a lot. And then you
[5:10:45]
have to think about
[5:10:49]
>> servicing that debt. Than
[5:10:50]
me.
[5:10:50]
>> And I guess we're getting
[5:10:57]
into that So. Awful lot. And
[5:10:58]
you talked Mark, let me talk
[5:10:59]
about maybe save a $5,000 and
[5:11:03]
architectural design. Notice
[5:11:07]
that their deal here you've
[5:11:08]
already designed it. You've
[5:11:11]
already built it. Only
[5:11:13]
difference is this county that
[5:11:17]
county and then going this is
[5:11:20]
how and why. This is why. All
[5:11:26]
of us should be advocating. As
[5:11:27]
a school district can build
[5:11:29]
schools at the same. Level as
[5:11:30]
a charter school. He's allowed
[5:11:37]
to build. You can go to any
[5:11:38]
parish community.
[5:11:40]
>> Charter built an addition.
[5:11:42]
>> Or less, then what we
[5:11:46]
built. So this is a good
[5:11:48]
example of why we need to be
[5:11:48]
advocating for us to have that
[5:11:50]
same kind of GOD life. And we
[5:11:53]
don't. I don't necessarily
[5:11:57]
want to say charter schools.
[5:11:59]
You've got to build up to our
[5:12:02]
I say school districts. Let's
[5:12:04]
all be on even playing field
[5:12:07]
as county buildings. They have
[5:12:09]
a code that they go by
[5:12:16]
churches in whatever.
[5:12:19]
Marketplaces. Can't we follow
[5:12:19]
the same building codes? Why
[5:12:20]
are understand we have a need
[5:12:23]
for. Shelter capacities and
[5:12:25]
all of that. But those are
[5:12:32]
pretty much. Already in our
[5:12:33]
building code for hurricane
[5:12:34]
strength. Even our homes have
[5:12:35]
to be at a certain code
[5:12:39]
anymore. This is a perfect
[5:12:39]
example for everyone to be
[5:12:44]
advocating for us to same
[5:12:44]
building codes as
[5:12:45]
municipalities in county.
[5:12:48]
Think of it. We're just held
[5:12:50]
at a higher standard and it
[5:12:55]
just baffles me that size
[5:12:58]
rebar and county building for
[5:12:59]
some the size of our rebar a
[5:13:02]
school building. It's so much
[5:13:08]
greater. Concrete, concrete.
[5:13:09]
You know, the concrete we use
[5:13:10]
in today's down here,
[5:13:17]
especially. Can we stand?
[5:13:18]
Storms that we coated? Just
[5:13:23]
want their didn't blow or
[5:13:25]
concrete building. That's for
[5:13:26]
sure. If you are some funds,
[5:13:33]
but MR. Tatum is that know
[5:13:34]
>> I was going go into I know
[5:13:35]
I've had this conversation
[5:13:37]
doctor was on run all day long
[5:13:37]
as respectful of your bins,
[5:13:39]
Martin. Always since he's been
[5:13:43]
doing this reporter years. But
[5:13:44]
the school PRESIDENT, Billy
[5:13:45]
prices, are getting out of
[5:13:48]
hand. And we had we should all
[5:13:49]
advocate for modification with
[5:13:49]
called throughout the state
[5:13:52]
requirements for funding
[5:13:53]
statutes and at this
[5:13:55]
conversation, when I was at
[5:13:56]
the finance France last week
[5:13:58]
and I brought this up and the
[5:14:00]
new school board members you
[5:14:01]
could some of them, at least
[5:14:02]
you could just see the like go
[5:14:04]
online. They come up to me
[5:14:07]
afterwards, like I need to
[5:14:07]
contact any thought about
[5:14:08]
that. And this getting out of
[5:14:10]
it. And I understand the idea
[5:14:11]
that well, you know, we'll
[5:14:12]
build a school that might last
[5:14:13]
60 years charter schools build
[5:14:16]
school last 30 years. And
[5:14:17]
>> that just to the pay me now
[5:14:18]
or pay me later. But the
[5:14:20]
reality is, is that. One of
[5:14:21]
those straight up things
[5:14:22]
right? Like we just can't
[5:14:23]
afford these kind of building
[5:14:26]
costs anymore. And, you know,
[5:14:26]
charter school didn't blow
[5:14:27]
down during the hurricane and
[5:14:28]
there's a lot of the
[5:14:31]
technology out there that goes
[5:14:34]
along with things like talk to
[5:14:35]
Bill is likely about this.
[5:14:35]
There's drywall that's almost
[5:14:37]
quote, unquote, almost as good
[5:14:39]
as concrete for the interior
[5:14:39]
of the buildings in the
[5:14:41]
building's consistently. Tell
[5:14:42]
me that the reason years goals
[5:14:45]
cost like you look at 68
[5:14:48]
almost 70 million dollars for
[5:14:49]
1000 seats. Yeah. And you go
[5:14:50]
up to the parish school that
[5:14:51]
was built. Their addition was
[5:14:53]
a was 1000 seat to the cost
[5:14:55]
and 21 million dollars, right?
[5:14:57]
I'm sure there's some
[5:14:57]
differences. And I've been
[5:15:01]
asked by sir, how much more to
[5:15:02]
make it a shelter and the guy
[5:15:03]
or architect and the builder.
[5:15:04]
Look each other, said about
[5:15:05]
3 Million. It's about
[5:15:06]
3 Million. Also, we have to
[5:15:09]
make it a shelter. The point
[5:15:11]
is, yeah, we need to be
[5:15:12]
advocating for that because
[5:15:14]
this is getting out we are and
[5:15:14]
it's in priorities, right?
[5:15:18]
When you up there keep.
[5:15:20]
>> actually have conversation
[5:15:21]
with DR. Why people he would
[5:15:24]
not just conferencing
[5:15:25]
Gainesville, the 67
[5:15:25]
superintendents that should be
[5:15:26]
advocating for this.
[5:15:27]
>> It's up to them to decide
[5:15:29]
whether they want
[5:15:32]
>> We But I'm Gus recommended.
[5:15:33]
Yes, 67 that I mean it all it
[5:15:38]
impact every. District
[5:15:39]
building too. Doesn't matter.
[5:15:44]
Really does not matter.
[5:15:46]
>> talking built literally of
[5:15:48]
their money use the same
[5:15:50]
building code as a charter
[5:15:50]
schools. Good enough for those
[5:15:54]
kids. You know, if we're
[5:15:55]
worried about fire codes and
[5:15:59]
stuff like that, I mean, it.
[5:16:00]
To covid, you know, whatever,
[5:16:01]
whatever is going charter
[5:16:03]
schools, that will be good
[5:16:04]
enough.
[5:16:06]
>> And my point is, is just
[5:16:07]
not charter school. In a
[5:16:08]
building this bill in the
[5:16:08]
county has to go through
[5:16:11]
permitting. What a difference
[5:16:15]
in, you know.
[5:16:18]
>> be interested to know what.
[5:16:19]
So just quick Google search up
[5:16:20]
with this is that Lakewood
[5:16:23]
Ranch Prep, right? They put in
[5:16:23]
looks like they're up for a
[5:16:24]
500 seat over there. But they
[5:16:25]
put in a weight room, a gym,
[5:16:26]
black box, their football
[5:16:27]
field to north and green space
[5:16:30]
with artificial 3rd and then
[5:16:31]
trucked the males go there
[5:16:32]
asking what U.S. Build your
[5:16:35]
upper campus and investing any
[5:16:35]
way.
[5:16:37]
>> And finish up on point
[5:16:42]
about. Sharing green spaces
[5:16:45]
whatever. Like that ran
[5:16:50]
accuses County tennis court.
[5:16:52]
>> Right. Softball. But all of
[5:16:55]
it. It's just yeah, I adore
[5:16:57]
them. It well, it does until
[5:17:00]
it doesn't. That. And I've
[5:17:02]
been out a match. Like, ranch
[5:17:07]
where? There's been public
[5:17:08]
people prior They're waiting
[5:17:09]
your wonderment. Our match is
[5:17:11]
going to get over weapon. You
[5:17:15]
know, so and they're caught.
[5:17:16]
You know, and that's not good
[5:17:17]
for kids know to see that kind
[5:17:20]
attitude from an adult cell. I
[5:17:24]
say more supportive of. If
[5:17:25]
they're going to do this. I
[5:17:25]
don't like the 200 million
[5:17:27]
dollar price. But I would work
[5:17:34]
on that our 8. Advocate to get
[5:17:37]
that. But I would also say
[5:17:37]
need to have our if we're
[5:17:39]
going to do that. We would
[5:17:40]
have to include is that price
[5:17:44]
include those kyree us? But
[5:17:44]
ball. But it's all ok, ok,
[5:17:51]
yeah. The thought of thinking
[5:17:52]
of the aisle speakers. We do
[5:17:55]
the next slide.
[5:17:56]
>> So this next slide speaks.
[5:17:59]
That slight speaks to Future
[5:18:02]
site options. The land. We
[5:18:03]
have 2 sites that are under
[5:18:06]
negotiation. A new k 8 call it
[5:18:07]
a a Buckeye Road and Pritchard
[5:18:12]
Road. Approximately 39 acres.
[5:18:14]
And at 3.6 million dollars
[5:18:18]
that in a home. The Potato.
[5:18:20]
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[5:18:20]
>> Then we have a new
[5:18:24]
elementary site. State route
[5:18:25]
60 for us on Burnside
[5:18:28]
Boulevard. Brayton. 20 acres
[5:18:36]
and 1.8, million. 3 sites were
[5:18:37]
just looking us to the growth
[5:18:41]
as you know. So we're looking
[5:18:43]
for elementary Yes, right. New
[5:18:44]
elementary site, the new
[5:18:45]
middle school, bb new high
[5:18:47]
school bbb all in the parish
[5:18:50]
area. You see the respective
[5:18:51]
sizes. They're 20 acres for
[5:18:53]
the new elementary. New middle
[5:18:57]
will be 30 and then high
[5:18:57]
schools are typically
[5:18:58]
100 Million. But if you do
[5:19:00]
something, I mean 100 acres.
[5:19:02]
But if you scale it do less.
[5:19:08]
So those are projected sites.
[5:19:09]
That's what reported last
[5:19:10]
labor your future.
[5:19:16]
>> By year, 10 years I'm not
[5:19:17]
sure. I mean, with that all be
[5:19:17]
based on growth, right? So
[5:19:18]
we'll just be watching a
[5:19:19]
monitor numbers to see what
[5:19:22]
they look like.
[5:19:22]
>> Henley. So we've 7,000
[5:19:24]
dwellings, the years old.
[5:19:25]
Thanks. We'll see a monitor
[5:19:31]
see things go.
[5:19:31]
>> I need to share something
[5:19:34]
with on. Acquiring future
[5:19:38]
sites. There is a house bill
[5:19:38]
proposed by don't remember the
[5:19:43]
number of it. And it it was
[5:19:45]
proposed last year, not pass
[5:19:46]
these bills generally take 2
[5:19:47]
or 3 years before they gain of
[5:19:54]
traction. A pass. This bill
[5:19:55]
really discourages districts
[5:19:58]
from buying property. 2 hold
[5:20:01]
onto for future growth because
[5:20:02]
The wording and it says that
[5:20:08]
if if you lose give me some
[5:20:10]
some leeway here because It's
[5:20:13]
been a while since looked at
[5:20:14]
it. It says if you have a
[5:20:22]
reduction. And capacity. Not
[5:20:22]
passed e and Roman by one
[5:20:27]
percent. You have to offer up
[5:20:30]
any property that you have to
[5:20:33]
a charter school I think local
[5:20:37]
government. What was it low
[5:20:43]
income housing? Yes. So. You
[5:20:43]
know, we're in a growth mode.
[5:20:45]
But if you think about a one
[5:20:49]
percent decrease. There could
[5:20:51]
be one or 2 charter schools
[5:20:52]
open and they could take that
[5:20:56]
much in Roman Out of your
[5:20:59]
system and you'd be forced to.
[5:20:59]
To dispose of that property
[5:21:03]
them. So. It's very
[5:21:07]
discouraging. 2. You know,
[5:21:07]
from my perspective to try to
[5:21:16]
land bank in the property.
[5:21:21]
It's right.
[5:21:22]
>> Well, on to the funding of
[5:21:28]
trips just this for. Art has
[5:21:30]
been discussing here. So we
[5:21:33]
all know that the 1.5 Levy, it
[5:21:35]
can be used to pay debt
[5:21:37]
service, which is interest
[5:21:41]
payments. The 1.5 mill capital
[5:21:42]
outlay for 24 25 fiscal year.
[5:21:44]
The one run right now
[5:21:48]
>> is expected to generate
[5:21:50]
113.3 million for this fiscal
[5:21:53]
year. Now that as a reminder
[5:21:56]
that set the 96% collection
[5:21:58]
rate and then we have been
[5:22:03]
advised out or told by our
[5:22:03]
financial advisors that
[5:22:08]
they've identified that best
[5:22:10]
practice where they like to
[5:22:10]
keep ca the district keep
[5:22:13]
their total debt service
[5:22:16]
payments at 50% of the 1.5, no
[5:22:22]
levee. That would be about
[5:22:23]
56.6 million in your annual
[5:22:28]
payments. So for the we've all
[5:22:30]
been talking cops and I
[5:22:32]
realize we have to make sure
[5:22:33]
we have to define that. That's
[5:22:33]
the certificates of
[5:22:38]
participation. So cops for
[5:22:39]
2025 issue, which is for these
[5:22:42]
2 new elementary schools that
[5:22:46]
will be opening in 2026. We'll
[5:22:48]
bring that total debt service
[5:22:53]
to be unexpected. 33.5 million
[5:22:54]
And then this would still
[5:22:57]
leave that district with room
[5:22:59]
for approximately 340 million
[5:23:03]
in additional projects before
[5:23:04]
reaching that recommended
[5:23:07]
total. That level service of
[5:23:14]
50% of the 1.5, no levee. We
[5:23:14]
have to slide some of the move
[5:23:15]
on to to the next one. Before
[5:23:20]
we. Have any questions here.
[5:23:21]
Now, the our financial
[5:23:26]
advisors have indicated that
[5:23:27]
justification like rise
[5:23:30]
enrollment. That kind of the
[5:23:31]
thing that district can
[5:23:32]
increase, that annual debt
[5:23:35]
service to the statutory
[5:23:40]
maximum. 75% of the 1.5, no so
[5:23:43]
for Manatee County School
[5:23:46]
district. This means that have
[5:23:49]
room for total of 745 million
[5:23:55]
in additional projects. As a
[5:23:56]
reminder as well to that
[5:23:57]
school district, while there's
[5:23:59]
the state law that has that
[5:24:01]
service calculation, you know,
[5:24:06]
using that 1.5 now that there
[5:24:08]
is also to be able to pay for
[5:24:10]
annual debt service. The
[5:24:11]
impact fees in sales tax
[5:24:12]
funding as well. So it's not
[5:24:14]
just the cops that we've been
[5:24:15]
talking about that pay for
[5:24:17]
these future construction
[5:24:18]
projects, including land
[5:24:22]
purchases. Also as a reminder
[5:24:23]
and that hasn't happened here
[5:24:26]
in a while. Our figures, you
[5:24:27]
when we talk about the debt
[5:24:29]
service, this is not including
[5:24:31]
the future possibility of
[5:24:32]
refinancing. And that would
[5:24:35]
also lower our annual debt
[5:24:36]
service payments. Some of the
[5:24:42]
current outstanding cops that
[5:24:43]
we have is a result of those
[5:24:44]
be financing of even older
[5:24:50]
projects. So does anyone have
[5:24:50]
any questions or requests? I
[5:24:52]
know we've had a good lesson
[5:24:55]
on it from the investors back.
[5:24:55]
Really great for Trump. I do
[5:24:57]
have a question moment,
[5:25:02]
>> Why? You said are one mill
[5:25:07]
capital collect that at 9, 6%,
[5:25:11]
rate. And then your say on
[5:25:16]
your second bullet point. That
[5:25:18]
we're paying 56.6 million
[5:25:20]
annual lease payments. That's
[5:25:24]
the best practice. Got best
[5:25:27]
practice to What are we
[5:25:31]
paying? We're like 38%. So so
[5:25:32]
right. And Mr Glover gave the
[5:25:34]
left tackle where the 2020
[5:25:35]
>> 5 cops would take a step
[5:25:38]
in.
[5:25:42]
>> Make it like 0.4, 4,
[5:25:44]
>> Okay. So we're not at know
[5:25:48]
we have. We have and the 4th
[5:25:49]
bullet. Mates just how much
[5:25:51]
room we have, right? Just in
[5:25:55]
that best practice. Guess I'm
[5:25:56]
getting the point. I want to
[5:25:59]
get
[5:26:00]
>> We're collecting at a 96%
[5:26:03]
collection rate. How much are
[5:26:05]
we paying in interest and
[5:26:09]
everything else? You know, a
[5:26:13]
thing. I guess. But I think
[5:26:15]
what we currently paying
[5:26:15]
record at. Yeah, I mean that
[5:26:16]
we writers and my right here
[5:26:20]
yet.
[5:26:22]
>> But they are detailed in we
[5:26:23]
actually have that when
[5:26:25]
brought that back for it in
[5:26:27]
SEPTEMBER. In one of the
[5:26:28]
notes, the financial
[5:26:29]
statements for the long-term
[5:26:33]
debt. For cops. You see
[5:26:34]
principal column and interest
[5:26:40]
entrust Com.
[5:26:41]
>> I'm I'm a look at because
[5:26:43]
online, how much are we?
[5:26:45]
Paying in interest if we're
[5:26:49]
paying? Truth, you know, and I
[5:26:53]
know we got a lot financial
[5:26:54]
was there's way for Vance and
[5:26:57]
I am. Just curious how curious
[5:27:00]
to how much for if the
[5:27:01]
collection rate versus the
[5:27:02]
interest rate. You know, I'm
[5:27:11]
saying. We're about. Marvin.
[5:27:12]
>> I hear this might be, but I
[5:27:14]
would mortgage calculators
[5:27:17]
Putin, 340 million dollars. At
[5:27:22]
a 4% interest rate. I I do
[5:27:24]
away with all the property
[5:27:25]
while kind of going at it on a
[5:27:26]
20 year term because that
[5:27:28]
along our bonds are that about
[5:27:30]
right. So those are our bonds.
[5:27:31]
About 20 years of yes, yeah,
[5:27:36]
>> So here your mortgage
[5:27:37]
payment is about 2 million
[5:27:39]
dollars a month, which would
[5:27:40]
be about 24 million dollars a
[5:27:42]
year ago. Switches. Something
[5:27:43]
close to what we're doing
[5:27:46]
anyway. It's your total
[5:27:46]
interest paid over that loan
[5:27:48]
would be 150 or 0.4, 7,
[5:27:54]
9 million dollars. I even more
[5:27:54]
uncomfortable. I didn't want
[5:27:56]
back to that for that
[5:27:57]
>> But it's it's it's a big
[5:27:59]
chunk it. Many millions of
[5:28:01]
dollars interest. It goes back
[5:28:04]
to what we have to reduce. A
[5:28:07]
building. The school is are
[5:28:10]
all the more we have? Rate you
[5:28:14]
know, to be honest up. You
[5:28:15]
know where where we draw these
[5:28:18]
lines and
[5:28:19]
>> where the school zones are
[5:28:20]
and all of the technicalities
[5:28:23]
that have gone along with this
[5:28:24]
It's informative need to hear
[5:28:27]
it and know what I think. It's
[5:28:28]
a bore. For me, this is what
[5:28:32]
i'm looking at. You know, This
[5:28:33]
is my heart of financial part
[5:28:36]
of it and make sure that Rick,
[5:28:36]
I'm sure doctor was on his to
[5:28:37]
do your right now you are.
[5:28:41]
But, you know, but that you
[5:28:41]
guys are the experts. And
[5:28:44]
where did all these lines and
[5:28:44]
how did the school capacity
[5:28:45]
and school choice and all that
[5:28:48]
kind of stuff. But, you know,
[5:28:49]
this is what I'm looking
[5:28:53]
trying to keep us fiscally
[5:28:54]
sound and trying to take the
[5:28:57]
burden off the There as much
[5:28:57]
as
[5:28:57]
>> Right does to my point
[5:29:00]
detect bears. With a benefit,
[5:29:06]
pay interest. Keep her debt
[5:29:07]
down. I mean, keeping our debt
[5:29:14]
down would be that 7, 6%,
[5:29:14]
collect, generate. I'm not
[5:29:17]
saying raise taxes. Do
[5:29:17]
everybody all all out of an
[5:29:24]
error. But I don't know what
[5:29:25]
the difference would be if you
[5:29:26]
did a nice 6.5% If that were
[5:29:30]
get our debt down because?
[5:29:32]
>> the I word just missed.
[5:29:35]
What's going right? Is just a
[5:29:38]
click, ok? All right, John,
[5:29:39]
even made up time to that a
[5:29:40]
person or on thinking felt.
[5:29:43]
All right. I got I see Those
[5:29:46]
could get it you don't. Yes,
[5:29:46]
go.
[5:29:47]
>> Would you please give us an
[5:29:48]
estimate? Not right. This very
[5:29:52]
moment. But what what what if
[5:29:53]
we and 40 million dollars out
[5:29:53]
about whatever you think
[5:29:54]
interest rate is going to be
[5:29:58]
4% or whatever. What's going
[5:29:59]
to cost and interest over 20
[5:30:00]
years? The interest of number
[5:30:01]
seems a 154 million without,
[5:30:05]
but killer says. But 50, 60
[5:30:06]
70 million dollar range
[5:30:10]
somewhere around there.
[5:30:11]
>> think we have run the
[5:30:15]
numbers Thank you.
[5:30:16]
>> thank you, Rich, creamy the
[5:30:16]
punch. I want to make that
[5:30:20]
same point about. Not what the
[5:30:21]
school, a new high school that
[5:30:21]
costs us. 200 Million.
[5:30:28]
Probably another. 8200 million
[5:30:31]
something to pass 300 million
[5:30:32]
school. There's another factor
[5:30:33]
to that has been touched on.
[5:30:36]
But I just want to come back
[5:30:36]
to it. Like I agree, said at
[5:30:40]
the beginning, you know, that.
[5:30:41]
The interest rate environment
[5:30:42]
we're if we'll see where these
[5:30:43]
tariffs go, if they go
[5:30:44]
anywhere, they might be gone
[5:30:47]
next week. We don't know but
[5:30:48]
we're already in a world of
[5:30:49]
high interest rates, inflation
[5:30:51]
and high interest rates.
[5:30:55]
That's very scary. And then
[5:30:56]
think I forget side it on. But
[5:30:57]
it was that was a reference to
[5:31:02]
the innovations in school
[5:31:02]
vouchers and those 2 things
[5:31:04]
happening there. The that's
[5:31:05]
going to affect our district
[5:31:08]
operated school's enrollment
[5:31:09]
is that wasn't last year. The
[5:31:10]
legislature removed the
[5:31:14]
income. Cap. Yes, on the
[5:31:15]
voucher program. So we're
[5:31:18]
going to even work in 2 to
[5:31:19]
private schools because they
[5:31:20]
get a portion of that tuition
[5:31:24]
can be paid charter enrollment
[5:31:26]
just continues to rise here
[5:31:26]
per year. So that's going to
[5:31:30]
take more district kids waved.
[5:31:31]
I mean, they're still kids.
[5:31:32]
But we're gonna take member
[5:31:33]
district controlled schools.
[5:31:37]
So there's so many. There's so
[5:31:38]
many variables that were kind
[5:31:39]
of so many moving parts that
[5:31:41]
like really this what we're
[5:31:42]
doing today, not to this
[5:31:44]
length and depth maybe, but
[5:31:44]
like almost to meet requires
[5:31:47]
like a quarterly check in like
[5:31:47]
where are interest rates? What
[5:31:51]
or maybe annual twice-a-year
[5:31:52]
were interest rates right now.
[5:31:53]
We'll turn role in numbers
[5:31:59]
that because religion I had
[5:32:00]
that the our financial
[5:32:02]
advisors again, keep an eye on
[5:32:05]
those rates currently. And and
[5:32:05]
I just
[5:32:06]
>> last week was discussing
[5:32:07]
with them, they are still
[5:32:10]
watching it. It is not time
[5:32:11]
for others. It we can't
[5:32:11]
refinance anything because the
[5:32:14]
rates are higher than we.
[5:32:16]
>> It then we bump issue to do
[5:32:18]
that. But they are keeping
[5:32:19]
that It's not just quarterly.
[5:32:22]
They are keeping an eye on
[5:32:28]
this on a regular It's not
[5:32:28]
even monthly. It's more half
[5:32:29]
of ocean said yeah, the free
[5:32:30]
money days are gone for that.
[5:32:35]
But I agree. I think this.
[5:32:36]
>> Beyond the rezoning
[5:32:37]
different things like that,
[5:32:38]
like the future stuff. I think
[5:32:42]
has to be looked at. Have the
[5:32:43]
right like in the summertime
[5:32:43]
will meet get our project, I
[5:32:47]
guess, maybe a month or so.
[5:32:48]
You gender rolled here. Going
[5:32:49]
to be like you just never
[5:32:50]
really know. And you won't
[5:32:51]
know until school starts
[5:32:52]
anyways. And so, yeah, I mean,
[5:32:55]
I think this is all very own
[5:32:57]
mean. I
[5:32:58]
>> And I think this is, you
[5:33:02]
know, to the earlier point.
[5:33:05]
Why we're having it build more
[5:33:09]
dashboards that are going to
[5:33:12]
give us real-time information
[5:33:14]
because at the cabinet level
[5:33:16]
we're talking about all of
[5:33:18]
this. If not weekly, certainly
[5:33:21]
every other week we're looking
[5:33:25]
at what's happening with these
[5:33:26]
because and again, we're
[5:33:27]
talking about the capital
[5:33:32]
budget. More schools is more
[5:33:37]
for right? More units of
[5:33:38]
overhead. And so there's
[5:33:39]
there's the operating impact,
[5:33:45]
too.
[5:33:45]
>> I don't No one knows that
[5:33:46]
up to speak to me. Move on to
[5:33:51]
the the next topic is. We've
[5:33:55]
got the plumber.
[5:33:56]
>> He said there and this
[5:33:56]
won't take very long because
[5:33:57]
obviously we ended up in some
[5:34:01]
pretty deep. Conversation
[5:34:02]
today. But just because the
[5:34:06]
policy requires me. To do the
[5:34:06]
periodic review and present
[5:34:08]
you with the results of that
[5:34:09]
review with kind of giving you
[5:34:10]
all the inputs and all the
[5:34:12]
data and so formally, these
[5:34:17]
are are are my findings
[5:34:19]
enrollment is continuing to
[5:34:19]
climb even with increasing
[5:34:24]
school choice options. Right
[5:34:25]
now we have schools that are
[5:34:28]
either nearing already over
[5:34:29]
capacity. And again, they're
[5:34:30]
spread throughout the
[5:34:31]
district, not just the one
[5:34:32]
area creating that kind of
[5:34:37]
cascading effect. We don't
[5:34:40]
believe that we can use school
[5:34:42]
choice options to remedy the
[5:34:44]
capacity concerns largely due
[5:34:45]
to transportation limits
[5:34:47]
traffic congestion. Distance
[5:34:52]
between schools. Clearly
[5:34:53]
future residential housing
[5:34:55]
growth is going to further
[5:34:56]
constrained capacity. Least 2
[5:34:59]
of the school service areas.
[5:35:00]
And finally, at a minimum, we
[5:35:02]
have newly constructed
[5:35:04]
facilities that necessitate
[5:35:05]
the creation of new attendance
[5:35:09]
zones and obviously that will
[5:35:10]
also impact other current
[5:35:11]
residential attendance zones.
[5:35:13]
And so that the that is
[5:35:18]
essentially the key points
[5:35:21]
behind all of this study to
[5:35:22]
and all these conversations
[5:35:23]
that we've been having
[5:35:26]
internally for months now. And
[5:35:28]
so that, you know, kind of
[5:35:29]
ends the periodic review
[5:35:32]
that's required in policy. We
[5:35:33]
are going jump to school
[5:35:39]
Times. This is fish out of
[5:35:40]
water topic. What do have to
[5:35:44]
discuss it because
[5:35:45]
>> again, our timelines are
[5:35:46]
going to run parallel to each
[5:35:50]
other. And so this complicated
[5:35:52]
as a potential community-wide
[5:35:55]
attendance zone adjustment.
[5:35:57]
Sounds if we also have to move
[5:36:00]
school start times. You
[5:36:02]
introduce several more layers
[5:36:03]
of complexity. And so we're
[5:36:04]
not going to spend a ton of
[5:36:06]
time on this today, but at
[5:36:08]
least one MR. Johnson do walk
[5:36:09]
you through what their
[5:36:10]
requirements are and kind of
[5:36:13]
where we're at because we do
[5:36:16]
need to start having this
[5:36:17]
conversation. Absolutely.
[5:36:18]
Thank you, Doctor Weiss on so
[5:36:19]
they introduce an additional
[5:36:20]
layer of complexity and to
[5:36:21]
make a
[5:36:23]
>> MR. Clarke and
[5:36:24]
Transportation truly busy this
[5:36:29]
year House Bill 733. With back
[5:36:33]
in 2023. Added some language
[5:36:34]
around. So as requirements
[5:36:35]
related to public school start
[5:36:38]
times you can see them listed
[5:36:41]
below, these would be required
[5:36:41]
beginning with the 26 27
[5:36:43]
school year select DR. Rice on
[5:36:45]
set. Not this upcoming school
[5:36:48]
year, but school year
[5:36:49]
afterwards. 26 27 and kind of
[5:36:50]
concurrent with the timeline
[5:36:55]
for the rezoning. There are
[5:36:57]
new requirement essentially be
[5:36:58]
the middle schools cannot
[5:36:59]
start before 8 high schools
[5:37:01]
cannot start before 8.30, and
[5:37:02]
there is no requirement placed
[5:37:05]
on elementary schools. It the
[5:37:06]
start? Obviously, no decisions
[5:37:07]
have been made about this.
[5:37:10]
This is a process we we get
[5:37:11]
into as a leadership team. And
[5:37:14]
as the board and detail over
[5:37:17]
the next several months. As
[5:37:18]
you kind of start doing the
[5:37:19]
mental arithmetic around this
[5:37:21]
right? You're either looking
[5:37:22]
at having really early
[5:37:24]
elementary start times,
[5:37:25]
probably something like
[5:37:26]
07:30am, in the morning. In
[5:37:27]
which case you elementary kids
[5:37:28]
potentially waiting in the
[5:37:32]
dark for school going to
[5:37:35]
school early or extremely
[5:37:35]
late, potentially elementary
[5:37:38]
or middle start times. Said
[5:37:40]
introduces a level of
[5:37:42]
complexity. If you can think
[5:37:43]
of the impact it would have on
[5:37:45]
things like sports and other
[5:37:46]
extracurriculars at the high
[5:37:48]
school level as well as
[5:37:49]
students ability to work
[5:37:53]
either before or after school.
[5:37:55]
There's just a lot of
[5:37:56]
complexity around one. How how
[5:38:00]
this impacts, you know. How
[5:38:01]
are schools operate? But also
[5:38:02]
how our families and the
[5:38:04]
community operate. And so as
[5:38:08]
we think about, school zones
[5:38:10]
and under new schools and all
[5:38:12]
of the changes associated with
[5:38:13]
that. We simultaneously have
[5:38:16]
to be thinking about this.
[5:38:18]
There has been repeal
[5:38:18]
legislation filed in both
[5:38:21]
chambers this session, but
[5:38:22]
obviously don't know what the
[5:38:25]
future that is going to be.
[5:38:26]
And we're just going to have
[5:38:28]
to, you know, continue keep
[5:38:31]
the board updated plan
[5:38:31]
internally around operation
[5:38:34]
allies in this planning as it
[5:38:35]
will, you know, as it's going
[5:38:38]
happen unless during
[5:38:39]
legislative session, something
[5:38:43]
changes. And of course, we'll
[5:38:44]
be working not just with our
[5:38:47]
with our schools, teachers,
[5:38:48]
administrators and the board
[5:38:51]
will be working with families
[5:38:51]
getting feedback from all of
[5:38:52]
our community stakeholders as
[5:39:01]
well. Wow. MR. Finn. The Jets
[5:39:02]
and thank you, Thank you very
[5:39:04]
much that information. So.
[5:39:05]
>> On the consortium called
[5:39:07]
the Central Florida School
[5:39:08]
board. Source from call. It
[5:39:09]
was on Monday. And maybe you
[5:39:11]
guys are aware of this because
[5:39:12]
usually it further ahead than
[5:39:13]
I am on this kind of stuff.
[5:39:16]
But one of the one of the
[5:39:17]
counties on there that came up
[5:39:18]
as a topic and one of the
[5:39:19]
county has already kind of bit
[5:39:22]
the bullet he's just done it.
[5:39:23]
And the comments from the
[5:39:24]
school board member war. It
[5:39:30]
was painful. We're making it
[5:39:31]
work. I don't know that you
[5:39:34]
know, you know, I'm talking
[5:39:35]
about her. Are be that, you
[5:39:37]
rather reinvent the wheel, you
[5:39:37]
might over there at least talk
[5:39:39]
to say, hey, what he has done,
[5:39:43]
what you know. My point Lou,
[5:39:43]
there were several counties
[5:39:46]
that when this requirement.
[5:39:50]
>> was, you know. Went into
[5:39:52]
effect. They just didn't get
[5:39:53]
the bullet right away and
[5:39:54]
decided to use Maybe it was
[5:39:56]
something they'd already been
[5:39:57]
thinking about. But they made
[5:39:59]
that transition you know, I
[5:40:05]
think. Like you said, there
[5:40:06]
was probably a lot of pain
[5:40:08]
associated with it. But also I
[5:40:10]
think not all communities
[5:40:10]
across the state probably have
[5:40:11]
the same appetite for that for
[5:40:14]
that change rain, different
[5:40:15]
working conditions in
[5:40:20]
different counties. Different
[5:40:21]
structures, socio economic
[5:40:24]
needs. And so I think really
[5:40:24]
engaging with our community is
[5:40:27]
going to be pivotal for this
[5:40:29]
Obviously, we will learn from
[5:40:30]
the ones who've already done
[5:40:32]
it. But I think there's going
[5:40:33]
to be some nuances here
[5:40:34]
manatee you know, counties
[5:40:36]
maybe didn't have to face.
[5:40:38]
>> Okay, great. And the county
[5:40:38]
that was speaking I don't
[5:40:40]
think was like a rural county
[5:40:42]
with 1200 students or
[5:40:43]
something. You know, something
[5:40:46]
remembers from bottom line is
[5:40:47]
this county. So are like
[5:40:48]
Osceola, I could go back and
[5:40:51]
figure out who it was. You
[5:40:54]
know, that's I already done it
[5:40:55]
and they would be the pain and
[5:40:56]
overall it's working out well
[5:40:57]
for them.
[5:40:59]
>> We will absolutely be
[5:40:59]
learning from anyone who's
[5:41:04]
going the phone just.
[5:41:09]
>> I so light wishy-washy on
[5:41:10]
how I feel about this, like
[5:41:10]
it's maybe back and forth is
[5:41:13]
not what you Just right word.
[5:41:14]
Having taught high school
[5:41:15]
having kids sleep through
[5:41:16]
first period class because
[5:41:18]
they're so tired and they
[5:41:19]
don't. Their biology just
[5:41:19]
doesn't function that early in
[5:41:23]
the morning. But also knowing
[5:41:26]
that so many of our kids were
[5:41:26]
working and helping spur their
[5:41:29]
families as well as that other
[5:41:30]
consideration. That's not even
[5:41:31]
including, you know what after
[5:41:31]
school activities and things
[5:41:35]
like that is just.
[5:41:36]
>> I'm very interested black
[5:41:37]
were going out to the
[5:41:38]
community. Very interested to
[5:41:40]
hear what what
[5:41:41]
>> they have to say about
[5:41:45]
suspect our country.
[5:41:47]
>> Yeah, no, I've been on the
[5:41:48]
soapbox before. As long as
[5:41:49]
this has come up, all jump on
[5:41:51]
and I am a huge proponent of
[5:41:54]
the start school later The
[5:41:56]
brain science is very clear
[5:41:58]
and I took a run at this years
[5:42:03]
ago and heard. What's brought
[5:42:06]
jobs. Good sports,
[5:42:08]
transportation, but not just
[5:42:09]
in Florida but around the
[5:42:11]
country. There are hundreds of
[5:42:11]
districts that have made this
[5:42:14]
change for the benefit kids.
[5:42:14]
Large.
[5:42:17]
>> Small role urban.
[5:42:17]
>> Like there are so many
[5:42:18]
districts we can go look at
[5:42:20]
sea. How did your a great with
[5:42:22]
the geography of our county
[5:42:23]
and we have a giant river
[5:42:23]
running through the middle of
[5:42:27]
the sun, too. Few bridges. We
[5:42:27]
have a unique situation,
[5:42:29]
especially when it comes to
[5:42:34]
transportation And honestly, I
[5:42:35]
think this is probably going
[5:42:36]
to repealed anyway. So this is
[5:42:36]
probably moot point for us.
[5:42:40]
But put this idea out there,
[5:42:41]
we could always just shift the
[5:42:45]
entire school day. So like.
[5:42:45]
High school starts at 8.30,
[5:42:49]
instead of 7.30 Elementary
[5:42:50]
starts at 9.25 that a 25
[5:42:53]
middle school start to 10, 20
[5:42:55]
7. I-20 now you'll hear some
[5:42:57]
people that's let's put that
[5:43:01]
one out with feedback. But but
[5:43:01]
it's just especially when it
[5:43:02]
comes to adolescents. You know
[5:43:05]
what, what's that second wave
[5:43:07]
of brain activity in brain
[5:43:08]
development. It started about
[5:43:11]
13 years old it's just so
[5:43:13]
important for whole rhythm
[5:43:15]
changes. They had a liscense
[5:43:17]
that's why kids are sleeping
[5:43:19]
first That was in middle
[5:43:20]
school that didn't have to go
[5:43:23]
to school 10. Think about MAY
[5:43:25]
think about to do a couple
[5:43:26]
hours.
[5:43:29]
>> I think about what we're
[5:43:30]
the rush hour. Traffic pull
[5:43:31]
all those school buses hit
[5:43:34]
road during, you know, we did
[5:43:35]
morning rush hour in afternoon
[5:43:36]
our legislative priority of
[5:43:38]
like having flexibility. I
[5:43:39]
think that's ability. I the
[5:43:39]
flexibility is key and not
[5:43:43]
not. I don't I don't disagree
[5:43:45]
with the start. Time being a
[5:43:46]
high school teacher. And
[5:43:48]
having kids. I all adults
[5:43:50]
start their day at 7.30, with
[5:43:53]
3,000 or whatever. Brutal,
[5:43:57]
right? So so I agree with
[5:43:57]
that. It remove it. But I
[5:43:58]
think that that we we talked
[5:43:59]
about is the board just the
[5:44:03]
flexibility so that the hard
[5:44:05]
you can't start this or that
[5:44:05]
having something to flick. It
[5:44:06]
looking into it. Maybe we'll
[5:44:07]
be here for operations. You
[5:44:11]
like you say. It didn't
[5:44:12]
legislation. So this could be
[5:44:16]
a 0.2 months right? But it's
[5:44:16]
it's I'm glad you guys have on
[5:44:18]
the radar for doing this as
[5:44:19]
well. It's because it is going
[5:44:23]
to take everything. So do you
[5:44:24]
think that this bill would
[5:44:27]
it's going to your bill? I
[5:44:29]
don't like But just know that
[5:44:30]
route from this and looking at
[5:44:31]
who's the Education
[5:44:32]
subcommittee for this
[5:44:35]
sponsored and stuff. I don't
[5:44:38]
know who
[5:44:42]
>> But I know is on this
[5:44:43]
subcommittee, at least 2 a
[5:44:48]
week so anything, it's going
[5:44:48]
to be interest and their next
[5:44:51]
meetings. The 20 s so I want
[5:44:59]
to recap here, representative.
[5:45:00]
>> All right. So board members
[5:45:05]
from last appreciate it was a
[5:45:07]
very long workshop. We debated
[5:45:09]
splitting it up. But I think
[5:45:11]
that to we just had to get
[5:45:14]
through all of the
[5:45:15]
conversation rolling. So my
[5:45:18]
intention to board members is
[5:45:19]
to bring a recommendation to
[5:45:23]
the 2/25/2025 school board
[5:45:25]
meeting and the recommendation
[5:45:27]
will be free to authorize me
[5:45:28]
to initiate the residential
[5:45:32]
attendance revision process as
[5:45:35]
outlined in 5, 1, 2, 0, 0, 2,
[5:45:37]
The policy requires that my
[5:45:40]
recommendation incluidas
[5:45:42]
adjusted timeline and
[5:45:43]
communication so that will be
[5:45:47]
part of the board agenda if
[5:45:48]
the board approves the
[5:45:51]
recommendation on FEBRUARY,
[5:45:55]
25th, the policy requires that
[5:45:57]
we hold at least one initial
[5:46:00]
public meeting for the purpose
[5:46:01]
of explaining the rezoning
[5:46:03]
process going through the
[5:46:05]
criteria that we use for
[5:46:07]
establishing attendance zones
[5:46:11]
and providing public input. I
[5:46:12]
will tell you board members
[5:46:17]
that given the potential
[5:46:18]
larger impact of we are
[5:46:19]
working toward offering as
[5:46:21]
many as 5 public meetings, one
[5:46:24]
in each geographic area of the
[5:46:25]
county will use our high
[5:46:28]
schools to boost those. Again.
[5:46:31]
The policy just requires one,
[5:46:33]
but we want to be very
[5:46:36]
transparent about this
[5:46:37]
process. And so we're tracking
[5:46:38]
toward holding 5 of those
[5:46:42]
meetings policy indicates that
[5:46:44]
after considering public
[5:46:48]
input, superintendent will
[5:46:49]
develop a minimum of 3
[5:46:50]
rezoning plans that would then
[5:46:51]
be presented to the public at
[5:46:53]
a second public meeting for
[5:46:57]
review and input. It will take
[5:46:59]
us some time to develop those
[5:47:00]
plans and likely need to have
[5:47:01]
at least one additional
[5:47:03]
workshop to talk through some
[5:47:04]
of the pieces that you all
[5:47:09]
asked for today. And the
[5:47:09]
notion is we would develop at
[5:47:11]
least 3 of those plans go back
[5:47:15]
to those public meetings, get
[5:47:18]
more input in the process. Is
[5:47:22]
that my team and I take all of
[5:47:28]
that input then either come to
[5:47:29]
the board with a reputation to
[5:47:31]
advertise one of those 3 plans
[5:47:37]
or to revise continue to
[5:47:38]
iterate process. And so again,
[5:47:41]
we don't envision this being
[5:47:46]
anything that gets done I will
[5:47:47]
say that does approve the
[5:47:49]
recommendation to initiate the
[5:47:53]
the revision on the 25th, we
[5:47:54]
will go live with a new web
[5:47:57]
page on the Web site that will
[5:48:00]
be central repository for all
[5:48:00]
of the available resources on
[5:48:04]
rezoning include policy
[5:48:06]
language documents, id or
[5:48:06]
develop timelines. The draft
[5:48:09]
plans when available how the
[5:48:11]
public can provide input. We
[5:48:16]
will use Let's talk interface.
[5:48:20]
That right is on
[5:48:21]
Transportation se and
[5:48:21]
Superintendent Office of
[5:48:22]
pages. We intend to invade
[5:48:24]
that right into the rezoning
[5:48:25]
page again so that people can
[5:48:28]
give us input any time. They
[5:48:29]
like. We have a couple of
[5:48:32]
different models for how this
[5:48:35]
plays out. We foresee a 48
[5:48:39]
month process just ending
[5:48:40]
scoop complexity, iteration
[5:48:42]
all of those public meetings
[5:48:46]
and obviously of we would
[5:48:47]
bringing you regular updates.
[5:48:49]
That word meetings and
[5:48:53]
workshops and again, love.
[5:48:55]
Finish up where we started.
[5:48:56]
Nothing that we do here would
[5:48:58]
take effect until 26. 27 were
[5:49:02]
later. So 25 26 were were set
[5:49:05]
up and ready to in. The other
[5:49:09]
question that's commonly asked
[5:49:10]
when communities go through
[5:49:12]
this process you know, whose
[5:49:13]
exempt who's not exempt. All
[5:49:16]
of that already in policy that
[5:49:17]
the board updated last fall.
[5:49:19]
So again, with it. Well, you
[5:49:20]
know, when we get to this
[5:49:22]
public meetings will be able
[5:49:27]
to explain who by policy is
[5:49:30]
exempt. You know, with school
[5:49:32]
choice and controlled open
[5:49:34]
enrollment, even after the
[5:49:35]
process is done, there MAY
[5:49:36]
still be an opportunity for a
[5:49:39]
family get where they want to
[5:49:42]
go. But that's the purpose of
[5:49:43]
this initial public meetings
[5:49:44]
to go through all those
[5:49:48]
processes and perimeters. I
[5:49:48]
believe that is the end of our
[5:49:53]
presentation, MR. Which back
[5:49:56]
to request actually. And that
[5:49:57]
is when you come up with your
[5:50:00]
at least 3 plan.
[5:50:01]
>> It's not too much trouble
[5:50:05]
be helpful for me, at least to
[5:50:06]
3 to 5 pros and cons like
[5:50:07]
these are up 3 to 5 rows on
[5:50:11]
plan only for the 3 to 5 funds
[5:50:14]
of this That would be helpful
[5:50:17]
to me and with plan won't just
[5:50:18]
come about it, you know,
[5:50:21]
they'll be all the data, all
[5:50:23]
the parameters. So it, you
[5:50:24]
know, it's again with with all
[5:50:27]
of the technology that's
[5:50:28]
available now.
[5:50:29]
>> There are a lot of
[5:50:29]
different data layers that we
[5:50:30]
can apply for analysis
[5:50:34]
purposes.
[5:50:35]
>> you
[5:50:35]
>> want to do it or not, but
[5:50:36]
again, I'm thinking back my
[5:50:37]
military days is that. Kozar
[5:50:40]
what these are courses of
[5:50:42]
action. You know, the matter
[5:50:43]
is they give me 3 a victim the
[5:50:45]
one you recommend that might
[5:50:47]
be interesting to hear. You
[5:50:47]
know, which one you got
[5:50:48]
overall think is the one that
[5:50:49]
will best suit to the needs
[5:50:51]
what we have. It. Lot of that
[5:50:52]
data that that you're going to
[5:50:58]
shows. You guys understand all
[5:51:00]
of that for me to be able to
[5:51:00]
decipher through this counting
[5:51:02]
on you all the experts give me
[5:51:07]
the pros and the cons. That
[5:51:08]
really looking those that it
[5:51:11]
You some of that data. But in
[5:51:12]
the pros and the cons and then
[5:51:12]
what would your record if
[5:51:16]
you're working? You know?
[5:51:19]
Which kind of you under on
[5:51:19]
report What would you would
[5:51:22]
you do?
[5:51:28]
>> thank you thank Brent. What
[5:51:29]
would be helpful for me. As we
[5:51:31]
go through this process.
[5:51:33]
>> Just from what we already
[5:51:37]
know. The rezoning is coming.
[5:51:42]
Probably it. With a lower dew
[5:51:43]
mold because they're capacity
[5:51:48]
at some of our schools. Start
[5:51:49]
this process and I had this
[5:51:53]
conversation with you. I just
[5:51:54]
want rest of board members to
[5:51:55]
know. I want to see the
[5:51:59]
program of how it works this
[5:52:02]
goes market today. When you
[5:52:05]
did the rezoning for parish.
[5:52:06]
Did you see the program?
[5:52:08]
Because I remember watching.
[5:52:13]
And the gallery, whenever you
[5:52:15]
are moving online and you
[5:52:16]
could pull a street over
[5:52:17]
whatever guys have control or
[5:52:23]
did you have? Not from dia?
[5:52:23]
>> That was that was really
[5:52:24]
every step is really fun to
[5:52:26]
do, By the way. But that was
[5:52:31]
the that was our boundaries
[5:52:34]
political districts. I doing.
[5:52:36]
>> I know. But with when he
[5:52:37]
when we were doing a rezoning,
[5:52:38]
I know that there were people
[5:52:42]
in the gallery that were
[5:52:44]
saying, please included
[5:52:46]
specific street and you are
[5:52:47]
referring open right? Which I
[5:52:48]
school. They dropped. They
[5:52:55]
were going to go to I am
[5:52:56]
distinctively. Remember, do
[5:53:01]
the Well, removing here. This
[5:53:03]
would add this many more
[5:53:04]
students. So that I didn't
[5:53:07]
know if you access to the
[5:53:08]
program or if you are just
[5:53:11]
looking at Google map, for
[5:53:11]
instance or something, know,
[5:53:14]
the year just real
[5:53:15]
>> What we're doing now is a
[5:53:15]
totally different process from
[5:53:18]
then And so that when that was
[5:53:23]
only school specific. And
[5:53:24]
that's the nature of question.
[5:53:26]
I want to ask about the foot.
[5:53:27]
So the superintendent at that
[5:53:30]
time put together 3 committees
[5:53:33]
for each school it MAY come up
[5:53:34]
with idea. Team be coming off
[5:53:36]
of And then team a b and c got
[5:53:38]
to come here in this room.
[5:53:40]
They set these goals and they
[5:53:42]
started, you know, pointing to
[5:53:43]
things in neighborhood which I
[5:53:43]
think is what you remember.
[5:53:47]
But the record me or any of
[5:53:47]
the board member did so we
[5:53:52]
didn't have at this. Last
[5:53:52]
year.
[5:53:54]
>> bought our year. Care
[5:53:57]
program. For this specific
[5:54:02]
things. To help. It's very
[5:54:06]
elaborate and expensive tool
[5:54:13]
to help with That will That
[5:54:14]
will project.
[5:54:14]
>> Yeah, does to So to your
[5:54:17]
point, I think that would be.
[5:54:18]
And if the board supports this
[5:54:19]
idea, I think that would be a
[5:54:19]
beneficial part of this
[5:54:24]
process is whomever, as we're
[5:54:24]
discussing this, if we had a
[5:54:30]
live map. And in one its top
[5:54:31]
program, right? Is my point?
[5:54:32]
If the if the if the public
[5:54:35]
can see moving lines and then
[5:54:36]
adjusting and then when you
[5:54:37]
move the line of the just home
[5:54:38]
and numbers, I think we really
[5:54:39]
beneficial for the public. If
[5:54:40]
we if we can make that happen
[5:54:42]
and in order.
[5:54:46]
>> All of it and I a I spoke
[5:54:47]
to DR. Why something about
[5:54:48]
having a workshop that the
[5:54:52]
board could actually?
[5:54:53]
>> See the program, how it
[5:54:55]
operates and see how they're
[5:54:58]
athletes doing this. Because I
[5:55:01]
don't I know that 3 different
[5:55:02]
ideas and you recommend the
[5:55:07]
best one. What I'd like to see
[5:55:07]
the program.
[5:55:12]
>> Cubs So.
[5:55:13]
>> We do require mapping
[5:55:19]
software program. We're all
[5:55:22]
learning the program now,
[5:55:26]
right? Certainly. Once we
[5:55:27]
fully understand its features
[5:55:29]
in the vendor has made the
[5:55:30]
customizations that we've
[5:55:32]
requested.
[5:55:33]
>> Certainly I if individual
[5:55:35]
board members want a demo of
[5:55:37]
the software, I think we
[5:55:39]
arrange that. I don't know
[5:55:41]
whether live in the boardroom
[5:55:46]
adjustments. Will be
[5:55:48]
technically possible. I would
[5:55:51]
counsel that. I don't think
[5:55:54]
it's advisable Nord nor be as
[5:55:55]
diplomatic as I can. Nor do. I
[5:55:56]
think individual board members
[5:55:57]
should be drawing maps and the
[5:56:02]
software respectfully. If on
[5:56:03]
the mean, if we get to the
[5:56:05]
point where we get to a
[5:56:05]
recommended map.
[5:56:08]
>> And the board says, ok,
[5:56:09]
we've got this public input
[5:56:11]
and we'd like to see these 3
[5:56:14]
variants that we can go back
[5:56:16]
program. The variants right
[5:56:22]
and provide all of that data.
[5:56:25]
>> But I just want to be sure
[5:56:26]
to see that maybe worker bees.
[5:56:27]
We can do a I think we could
[5:56:28]
see. But Icu's right. Do think
[5:56:28]
though.
[5:56:34]
>> Live. Maneuvering is
[5:56:34]
probably give you more
[5:56:35]
difficult and active
[5:56:38]
redistricting zoning rival.
[5:56:39]
Yeah, I think that that maybe
[5:56:41]
have some kind of no-fly q
[5:56:42]
laptop. You can do it. I don't
[5:56:44]
even know this is a
[5:56:45]
>> So but I do think bickal
[5:56:47]
ignite for us to see just a
[5:56:50]
quick demo. Hey, here's not
[5:56:51]
working. Not a saying that we
[5:56:53]
do get to do it better than
[5:56:53]
absolutely. But just to see a
[5:56:55]
demo to see. But it looks like
[5:56:58]
absolutely. Yeah.
[5:57:02]
>> I ask is that workshop
[5:57:03]
sometime between now and want
[5:57:06]
to make it to that point
[5:57:07]
boundaries that do. We have
[5:57:09]
that. Luxury of seeing what?
[5:57:14]
We bought? And what what it
[5:57:16]
actually does. I mean it with
[5:57:18]
every program. There's tweaks
[5:57:19]
and that sounds like that's
[5:57:21]
what you're doing. That
[5:57:23]
program is probably a read us
[5:57:26]
a generic. It's a program that
[5:57:29]
can be modified. 2 specific
[5:57:33]
districts. I'm guessing based
[5:57:36]
on what art that it is. So it
[5:57:39]
can project. And so it define
[5:57:42]
different regions. What we're
[5:57:43]
doing here. All right. You
[5:57:49]
have to certainly have Half of
[5:57:50]
the boundaries that are in
[5:57:50]
there now. So you can know.
[5:57:54]
We're going to go here in the
[5:57:56]
future. So I'm sure it's been
[5:57:56]
modified the generic program
[5:57:58]
and I'm not demeaning the
[5:58:05]
program itself. Can modified
[5:58:05]
to our district, airing in a
[5:58:06]
desert, be honest.
[5:58:11]
>> All of them. All right.
[5:58:12]
Currently owns.
[5:58:14]
>> maps, regenerated today,
[5:58:17]
the earlier map summer came
[5:58:18]
out of the program. So they're
[5:58:20]
pretty close to establishing
[5:58:24]
our baseline. We do have some
[5:58:26]
hiccups that the middle school
[5:58:27]
the important thing and why
[5:58:31]
would?
[5:58:32]
>> Caution not to do in a
[5:58:33]
public meeting is there is a
[5:58:35]
lot of student data associated
[5:58:38]
with that. When we move lines,
[5:58:39]
we are immediately able to run
[5:58:41]
reports to student accounts
[5:58:42]
and things like that. And
[5:58:46]
that's probably east. Student
[5:58:49]
that that's not appropriate to
[5:58:51]
be displayed in a public
[5:58:54]
meeting. As Doctor Weiss on so
[5:58:54]
that it MAY be best sit down
[5:58:59]
we can show you. Works. During
[5:59:01]
one on ones. There is it's
[5:59:04]
it's a fairly robust tool.
[5:59:06]
Gives a lot of information
[5:59:07]
about the students we move
[5:59:11]
them. And we want to make sure
[5:59:12]
that the integrity and the
[5:59:15]
privacy remains the way should
[5:59:16]
be.
[5:59:16]
>> I get that point to do
[5:59:24]
that. Also. I also think
[5:59:25]
collectively it's such a rest
[5:59:26]
of board members bought. We
[5:59:32]
could do a shade. Meeting on
[5:59:33]
the program. As just the the I
[5:59:34]
don't think we're the good
[5:59:36]
thing about
[5:59:37]
>> I think I think I think for
[5:59:39]
the sake of time, right? I
[5:59:40]
think we could discuss this
[5:59:43]
for sure who get quarters 8
[5:59:44]
months on this. But I I do
[5:59:45]
agree that I want to see i
[5:59:47]
every night to see it. And no,
[5:59:48]
this is a program that's
[5:59:50]
working. You know, it said
[5:59:50]
rep.
[5:59:51]
>> The offender as a generic
[5:59:53]
version. That could be
[5:59:56]
presented to the board. I
[5:59:57]
believe. Oh, you mean like
[5:59:59]
that doesn't ever just want to
[5:59:59]
say didn't air. It begins
[6:00:04]
right now. I they had to come
[6:00:06]
to you our go through
[6:00:07]
purchasing show you what the
[6:00:09]
program correct. Yes, it it
[6:00:11]
probably had their generic
[6:00:16]
data. Every student name with
[6:00:19]
I don't See what I'm saying.
[6:00:23]
There should be a way. That
[6:00:24]
program can be presented not
[6:00:26]
only to the board it to the
[6:00:31]
public without disclosing You
[6:00:31]
student information are
[6:00:35]
arriving out. We are bigger,
[6:00:40]
but really thing.
[6:00:41]
>> By the way, I did not mean
[6:00:41]
to imply that board members
[6:00:46]
should be. Creating attendance
[6:00:48]
zones. Said, no huge. And I I
[6:00:49]
just want clear that that, you
[6:00:54]
know, again, it's a I think
[6:00:55]
it's better for us to take
[6:00:57]
that on and that we have the
[6:00:58]
board meet with the work. You
[6:00:59]
reject it and give us new
[6:01:00]
direction and will go back
[6:01:01]
complete when you when you
[6:01:02]
what you want. No, I just I
[6:01:05]
brought that up so you're
[6:01:06]
right. Like as soon I said
[6:01:07]
that I thought about even if
[6:01:11]
we're just looking at. Dots on
[6:01:12]
a map where kids are, that's
[6:01:13]
probably a violation right
[6:01:15]
Even if it was just numbers.
[6:01:19]
But what I wanted just one
[6:01:20]
final piece before we go into
[6:01:23]
the how do you plan to frame
[6:01:26]
this to the public? Because
[6:01:26]
what that from the last time
[6:01:28]
around the If residents
[6:01:31]
remember that it was we're
[6:01:33]
only doing this for this new
[6:01:34]
school and then the feeders
[6:01:35]
that will be affected more
[6:01:37]
boundaries around it or will
[6:01:38]
this be more of global county
[6:01:40]
wide? We're going to make.
[6:01:42]
Little fixes here and there.
[6:01:45]
So I'm just wondering how. Is
[6:01:47]
this a more global approach or
[6:01:48]
we're going to do this? More
[6:01:49]
focused on the new
[6:01:51]
construction and things like I
[6:01:56]
think we certainly Be more
[6:02:00]
narrow in scope. We we would.
[6:02:01]
>> would be easier on the team
[6:02:04]
to do that. The problem is if
[6:02:04]
we don't address some of the
[6:02:10]
other. Issues that you saw.
[6:02:14]
>> Then I think missing an
[6:02:15]
opportunity to make the
[6:02:18]
student experience a little
[6:02:19]
bit better.
[6:02:19]
>> totally agree. I think
[6:02:22]
should be a global looking as
[6:02:23]
long as we're doing this.
[6:02:25]
Let's do it big. Let's do it
[6:02:26]
right, right. And in and
[6:02:29]
having said that again to
[6:02:30]
MISTER Tatum's earlier point
[6:02:30]
about pros and cons, right? We
[6:02:33]
MAY. We MAY bring a map that
[6:02:34]
says, look, we were able to
[6:02:38]
fix everything. But you MAY
[6:02:39]
look at the number of families
[6:02:43]
affected and say. No way go
[6:02:43]
back to the drawing board and
[6:02:45]
then we MAY come back and say
[6:02:47]
there's a different map that
[6:02:48]
doesn't fix all the issues
[6:02:49]
that affect a lot fewer
[6:02:54]
people. And I think that's
[6:02:56]
that's why when we rework the
[6:02:57]
policy, we didn't say we're
[6:02:59]
just going to bring you one
[6:03:00]
map and you can either adopt
[6:03:03]
or reject it right? Because
[6:03:04]
there are going to be so many
[6:03:07]
variables for us to look at.
[6:03:08]
Right. And that's why you
[6:03:09]
started with several options
[6:03:11]
and you kind of narrow down.
[6:03:12]
And then when you get down to
[6:03:14]
that last it really is. And
[6:03:15]
this is where the public input
[6:03:16]
is going to be so important.
[6:03:20]
It might be a parent saying,
[6:03:21]
hey, you're you know that your
[6:03:22]
software showing this. But
[6:03:24]
actually the way this line
[6:03:26]
brought, you just split a
[6:03:29]
cul-de-sac rain and then we're
[6:03:30]
going to get cars and drive go
[6:03:31]
your right. We've got a shovel
[6:03:34]
that a little bit because you
[6:03:34]
want to get that right for
[6:03:39]
family? Last right? So that
[6:03:40]
that's we're again, that's
[6:03:43]
kind that filtering process.
[6:03:44]
But but again, we MAY get to a
[6:03:45]
point where we bring you
[6:03:47]
something that's more
[6:03:48]
comprehensive and you just say
[6:03:50]
no, that's too much
[6:03:53]
disruption. Let's but let's be
[6:03:55]
more surgical. They will go in
[6:03:56]
that direction. But but again,
[6:03:58]
I think we're looking to bring
[6:04:00]
in multiple options support
[6:04:00]
full comprehensive approach
[6:04:03]
for
[6:04:04]
>> And and to add on to that,
[6:04:07]
I just want public. Every
[6:04:10]
parent out there, every anyone
[6:04:12]
that's got a student our
[6:04:14]
district. Not going to affect
[6:04:19]
all of but it's going affect.
[6:04:22]
Our community r student
[6:04:25]
population is going up that I
[6:04:26]
mean, we just can't get around
[6:04:28]
it. And I let the holistic
[6:04:30]
approach. I mean, we're going
[6:04:32]
to do it. Do it right. Go big.
[6:04:33]
Go home for they say. But I
[6:04:35]
think that this is. I don't
[6:04:41]
have to got I There's 2 things
[6:04:50]
when Decided Do this for Get
[6:04:51]
in your superintendent, Dan
[6:04:54]
and the rezoning. I knew both
[6:04:56]
of those were going to be on.
[6:05:00]
The boards plate. This is one
[6:05:01]
of those things all have
[6:05:04]
sleepless nights over. Because
[6:05:06]
it's that important to me that
[6:05:09]
we get it right. You know, it
[6:05:12]
MAY not be perfect. But in my
[6:05:17]
heart feel comfortable that I
[6:05:19]
did the right Yeah. And that's
[6:05:25]
where I'm I'm at with it all.
[6:05:25]
It's going to be hard
[6:05:29]
communicating to I remember
[6:05:31]
now MISTER Kennedy, the 3
[6:05:33]
different groups and they all
[6:05:35]
came in did a presentation not
[6:05:37]
that he's each school. Oh,
[6:05:40]
yeah. So companies. But this.
[6:05:43]
It's too big for something
[6:05:43]
like that. So we've all rely
[6:05:47]
on expertise there community
[6:05:51]
input as well. So hopefully
[6:05:53]
the convention center will be
[6:05:59]
done a but so so good. Get
[6:06:03]
that one moment. Sorry. I was
[6:06:06]
just want to first.
[6:06:08]
>> Second, pretty much what
[6:06:09]
everybody said. I totally
[6:06:10]
agree with MR. Taylor about
[6:06:11]
bringing us some pros and
[6:06:11]
cons. I really would like to
[6:06:13]
see what you know, so we can
[6:06:18]
help weigh And I just want to
[6:06:19]
thank all of you for being
[6:06:20]
here and doing the 7 hour
[6:06:24]
marathon with us today going
[6:06:26]
through all of it. I
[6:06:27]
appreciate doing it all to
[6:06:27]
break it off and keep it
[6:06:30]
together in our or and then I
[6:06:33]
just want ask our our
[6:06:34]
community to please be patient
[6:06:37]
with us. Everything that comes
[6:06:39]
out is not going to be set in
[6:06:40]
stone. So please don't attack
[6:06:43]
us with emails and phone calls
[6:06:46]
right away say, oh, my
[6:06:47]
destroyed where where my kids
[6:06:48]

[6:07:14]
We're adjourned.
