[0:43] >> can't just

[0:43] >> Good morning, everyone.

[0:46] Welcome to our SEPTEMBER.

[0:47] Already, SEPTEMBER first 2026

[0:51] school board workshop. We have

[0:55] a lot on our agenda today. I

[0:56] have no public comment sign up

[0:58] that I'm aware of. And that's

[1:01] ok. So we will go right on to

[1:06] item number 4 on the agenda.

[1:07] 4.1 is the Citizens Financial

[1:09] Audit Committee and we have

[1:10] MISTER Daniels with us, the

[1:12] chair of that committee with

[1:13] cell phone. I will turn it

[1:15] over to you all.

[1:16] >> Good morning, MADAM.

[1:19] CHAIRMAN Members. I understand

[1:21] you've got a very full agenda.

[1:22] So we're gonna try to move

[1:25] right We've been. Within 2

[1:25] days of our next meeting from

[1:28] the last meeting we've had so

[1:32] this basically tell you, we're

[1:32] going win over the report that

[1:34] you're going to hear from Rsm

[1:34] about and recommend your

[1:39] approval of them. We are

[1:41] looking it some other things

[1:42] as far as the plan for the

[1:44] rest of the year, there got

[1:45] letters put together will be

[1:49] reviewing on Thursday. That as

[1:50] the individual engagement

[1:51] letter for each of the

[1:53] programs, we're going to go

[1:55] into. They'll talk about that

[1:58] likely. Just to tell you

[1:59] what's there. We're going to

[2:00] be hopefully hearing on the

[2:03] status of the JUNE 30th audit

[2:06] from purpose. Gray. And then

[2:07] see what we can do to help

[2:11] move that long. Other than

[2:13] that, we'll be talking about

[2:17] that recurring issue of. Post

[2:18] reviews and trying to have

[2:23] some type organized protocol

[2:27] to follow up on those. We've

[2:29] been going back and forth just

[2:30] put some timelines in place.

[2:32] If you that's what we'll be

[2:33] there. Probably going to

[2:35] involve if it hits a certain

[2:37] length out. We're going to ask

[2:38] the superintendent or her

[2:38] representatives to come tell

[2:43] you about it. You just keep

[2:44] because it from what I've seen

[2:47] in my years here now it's

[2:47] going out that long are

[2:49] usually a good reason. But we

[2:53] need to hear from them. With

[2:54] that. I'm going to be quiet. I

[2:58] want to introduce Jack and

[2:59] they're going to take over.

[3:00] She's going to step over here

[3:03] and take Yeah, Well, it

[3:09] certainly makes you want

[3:20] >> Hello, everyone. I you

[3:21] again. Good morning to Good

[3:25] Okay. So like Jim just

[3:27] mentioned will be walking

[3:27] through the 2 reports today.

[3:31] Payroll in compensation and

[3:33] maintenance. These 2 reports

[3:35] are the final internal audit

[3:38] engagement for fiscal year.

[3:39] 26. So at the conclusion of

[3:42] today, our next steps are to

[3:43] start focusing on what comes

[3:46] next. And all briefly

[3:48] mentioned after Jack walking

[3:49] through payroll, which I'll

[3:50] bring up onto the screen and

[3:55] I'll hand it over to Jack.

[3:55] >> Perfect. Good morning,

[3:56] everyone. Good morning the

[3:57] microphone is working. So

[3:58] start with our payroll in

[4:02] compensation, internal audit

[4:05] put upon them.

[4:16] >> We can place or in the

[4:17] background checks on all this.

[4:21] And know that As an

[4:21] operational audit, we do

[4:24] provide a background section.

[4:24] Each of our reports have

[4:26] backgrounds intended let the

[4:27] reader understand in a little

[4:27] bit more depth. The

[4:30] complexities nature.

[4:31] >> The overall processes that

[4:33] are involved in the payroll in

[4:34] compensation procedures here

[4:34] at the district. It's

[4:35] informational. It's intended

[4:36] to provide a little bit of

[4:37] background to the actual

[4:42] internal audit port. In terms

[4:42] of what did we do? We did a

[4:44] number of things as it relates

[4:46] to the evaluation of the

[4:47] design and effectiveness of

[4:48] some of those processes. In

[4:50] the intro controlled

[4:51] environment, we looked at the

[4:53] process is related to employee

[4:54] salary approval, including

[4:55] challenge for both new

[4:56] employees and salary

[4:57] adjustments for existing

[4:59] employees. We looked at the

[5:00] monitoring and reporting

[5:03] processes related to payroll

[5:05] and compensation. We did

[5:07] detailed testing on a temple,

[5:08] 60 transactions across 30

[5:10] distinct employees that

[5:12] included both hourly and

[5:14] salaried employees. We looked

[5:15] at the supporting

[5:16] documentation agreeing to to

[5:17] source documents reconciling

[5:19] act. The system reviewing

[5:21] actual payments made over

[5:25] time. And we also look at

[5:25] statements and supplements

[5:28] across much as well. You'll

[5:30] know we did not have any

[5:31] reportable observations as it

[5:33] relates to this report across

[5:34] our testing. So wonderful

[5:36] story to be able to tell

[5:38] their. We did have one process

[5:40] improvement opportunity. The

[5:42] district has really

[5:43] incorporated a lot of

[5:44] automation and system

[5:45] capabilities as it relates the

[5:49] payroll function. There was a

[5:50] new vendor brought in to

[5:50] support the people staff

[5:53] system over the summer. With

[5:54] that new vendor coming in,

[5:56] maybe some fresh eyes on the

[5:57] system. We know it's been

[5:58] around for a while and there's

[5:58] been a lot of work that's gone

[6:01] into it. We feel that there

[6:03] MAY be an opportunity to

[6:03] continue to enhance that

[6:05] automation environment across

[6:08] the system. Our process

[6:09] improvement opportunity talks

[6:10] about the currently performed

[6:11] manually procedures of

[6:13] validating employee changes

[6:15] verification of supplemental

[6:18] pay. It is worth management

[6:19] consideration. Should the

[6:20] resources and time be

[6:24] available explore that

[6:25] automation in those final

[6:28] remaining manual pieces. But

[6:30] overall, very pleased with the

[6:30] results, a testament to

[6:33] management's commitment to

[6:34] very structured controlled

[6:38] process. There. Any questions

[6:39] is really it's up here on

[6:42] compensation. Either pass our

[6:46] scope of work or the results.

[6:47] I don't see new outrageous.

[6:48] Had someone up in here see who

[6:49] wants

[6:53] >> MR. Tatum.

[6:54] >> Thank you for your work.

[6:54] I'm not sure who could maybe

[6:59] this question. But you know,

[7:00] systems out there are products

[7:01] that you recommend to us to

[7:04] help all it. These. Processes

[7:05] that you're concerned about

[7:08] being done manually.

[7:10] >> I one of the reasons we

[7:12] categorize it as a process

[7:13] improvement opportunities and

[7:14] there's nothing inherently

[7:16] wrong with how things are

[7:17] being done those capabilities.

[7:19] MAY be k possibility within

[7:23] the existing system. There was

[7:25] certainly have to be

[7:26] integration with the people

[7:28] soft And so I don't

[7:31] necessarily off the top my

[7:32] head. I have an example of a

[7:32] specific product, but I can

[7:35] certainly value 8, some of

[7:36] those options and see if we

[7:38] have examples of what has been

[7:40] used automate some of those

[7:41] processes across our other

[7:44] clients are around the state.

[7:46] Off the top my head. I'm not

[7:47] sure it's something that's

[7:48] commonly done. So I think the

[7:49] district would be an industry

[7:50] leader in that full

[7:53] automation. If it's possible.

[7:55] >> Rose and thoughts on

[8:00] automating some of of I know I

[8:01] make human. There's only a

[8:02] little quick and at home in

[8:02] and the thing we can automate.

[8:05] Any thoughts on the yet?

[8:05] >> No, I agree any time that

[8:08] you Take out the chance for

[8:09] human error. Not only that,

[8:13] just the savings of time with

[8:14] your staff putting in annually

[8:18] would be a benefit. The

[8:19] payroll team has already

[8:20] started to look at this. They

[8:21] received this. So anything

[8:25] they're able to. Take away

[8:27] from the manual and plant.

[8:28] It's something they might be

[8:31] able to do. I know is as you

[8:32] all recall, we have a new

[8:33] service provider that we

[8:34] brought in starting this

[8:35] summer. And so some of those

[8:38] process improvements have been

[8:40] in conversation with anything

[8:41] as important as payroll, which

[8:42] is probably the most important

[8:44] thing that we do on a regular

[8:46] basis. We would want to

[8:47] practice something before we

[8:48] roll it out. Full scam. So

[8:51] that'll be a part of them. The

[8:53] procedures. I right in saying

[8:53] that you had conversations

[8:56] about this and yeah, and what

[8:57] we would be looking at the

[8:58] cost effectiveness to deceive

[9:00] but would be implemented.

[9:04] >> Like some of these things

[9:05] annual their unique

[9:06] compensation strategies. You

[9:07] Mike MAY be extra pay for

[9:09] duty. That kind of a thing.

[9:14] That's not something that's

[9:15] then already formulated into

[9:17] the system integrated into the

[9:17] system already. So we would

[9:21] look at at the benefits of

[9:23] being able to figure out how

[9:26] and the need to be able to.

[9:27] Create that modification to

[9:31] see if it. Fit within that

[9:33] priorities or like he had said

[9:37] the manual might be the more

[9:38] cost effective or efficient

[9:39] use of time. But will that

[9:39] we're definitely looking into

[9:43] that because it would. But if

[9:43] this, if it's Adam and you

[9:44] still have to check, it's

[9:47] automated, that kind of a

[9:48] thing, any improvement in the

[9:51] efficiency of time. But the

[9:52] labor is definitely

[9:58] beneficial.

[9:59] >> Understand all those things

[9:59] come with a cost the cost

[10:00] benefit analysis. Okay. Great.

[10:02] Thank you looking So I.

[10:03] >> Just from my experience in

[10:05] peril from. Time. Cards being

[10:09] punched, dot clock. And that's

[10:11] the truth to counting every

[10:13] hour to the quarter. Our to

[10:15] the U.S. Some even to the.

[10:20] Hour. We've come a long way

[10:24] and the payroll I don't think

[10:26] that we ever go to 100%

[10:30] automated. There's just no way

[10:31] just from emergencies that

[10:33] come up people need to take

[10:39] off. Leave of absence or or

[10:41] sickness or family issue.

[10:41] There's just no way you could

[10:44] ever on a mate payroll 100%.

[10:47] So I would never expect that

[10:47] there's always going to be a

[10:50] job in payroll adjustments

[10:53] that have to be done manually.

[10:54] You just can't scan your badge

[10:59] and say here just my time I

[11:00] believe that capability of

[11:01] doing that wouldn't be an

[11:04] option either sell. We can get

[11:07] as automated as we want. But

[11:08] there's always going to be a

[11:11] human behind the same fixing

[11:13] those even automated errors.

[11:16] So I I commend what we do

[11:18] right now. It's gone a long

[11:20] way from when I first started

[11:22] paying attention peril.

[11:24] Probably 8 years ago, 10 years

[11:29] ago to where we are now. So I.

[11:31] I think whatever they found

[11:34] very minimal. The was. 6, 8,

[11:37] years ago. So anyway, thank

[11:38] you. I just wanted to put that

[11:41] in MR. Kennedy.

[11:41] >> Get real Quick. Thank you,

[11:42] MADAM Chair. Just want to

[11:44] follow up on superintendent

[11:44] presence comment just as a

[11:47] reminder that we did switch

[11:50] providers to metaphor over the

[11:51] summer. And just anecdotally,

[11:53] I thank the board for making

[11:54] that going through that

[11:55] process and making that change

[11:57] approved change just

[11:58] anecdotally tickets are

[12:00] getting turned around faster.

[12:02] You know, just the whole the

[12:05] whole process is moving a lot

[12:06] clearer. And MADAM Chair, to

[12:09] your point with. The number of

[12:12] employees, we have the number

[12:13] of employee calendars we you

[12:15] know, hopefully in an upcoming

[12:16] meeting here will be approving

[12:20] the. The the contracts for ar

[12:21] Perez and things like that

[12:25] have to be gone in and you

[12:27] it's as you said, it's just

[12:28] not words. Probably never

[12:30] going to the full automation,

[12:31] but but we're definitely

[12:32] closer now than we were a year

[12:35] ago. So I should say where.

[12:36] Things are running a lot

[12:38] smoother than they were a year

[12:39] ago. So that's a step in the

[12:40] right direction. And that's a

[12:41] credit to the team up there.

[12:42] >> And your point, if I can

[12:47] dialogue every year. There's

[12:48] always the bargaining and the

[12:50] changes to the scales and all

[12:52] that nation can under that. If

[12:53] just now wait a little

[12:55] different. Details are a

[12:56] little different. Can take

[12:57] that number. Flip it all the

[12:59] way across The system, the

[13:00] somebody else to put that

[13:02] number in there as Anyway, I

[13:03] commend the payroll department

[13:08] for all of the the hours some

[13:09] headaches, I'm to get through

[13:11] this cycle. So we appreciate

[13:19] you. The maintenance, perfect.

[13:21] That concludes our hearing.

[13:22] Competition report next will

[13:23] be our maintenance work

[13:23] orders.

[13:42] >> Report. Figure book.

[13:43] >> Once U.S. Looks like it's

[13:45] working now to scroll down,

[13:52] then to the executive summary.

[13:53] >> Within the maintenance work

[13:54] order procedures, we evaluated

[13:56] a number of things. We look at

[13:57] the procedures for submitting

[13:59] authorizing work request

[14:00] district-wide, including

[14:01] evaluating which district

[14:03] personnel can initiate work.

[14:05] Order and what information is

[14:07] required actually create a

[14:07] work order and how that flows

[14:10] to system. We looked at the

[14:12] process for prioritizing in

[14:14] assigning were quarter. And so

[14:15] once it's been received, that

[14:17] information collected, how do

[14:18] we triage that the appropriate

[14:19] personnel to get something

[14:20] completed as quickly and that

[14:23] sufficiently as possible?

[14:25] Looked at the utilization of

[14:27] the work order system,

[14:28] internal performance

[14:29] monitoring. So what metrics

[14:31] are holding ourselves

[14:32] accountable to what our

[14:32] performance goals reporting is

[14:36] available to management. We

[14:36] perform detailed testing over

[14:39] a sample of work orders

[14:40] looking at compliance with

[14:40] district policies and

[14:44] procedures. And testing of

[14:46] sorts documents. The scene

[14:48] that bottom right hand corner.

[14:49] We did have 5 total

[14:49] observations, 3 high risk and

[14:52] to moderate risks. Those

[14:53] observations can be

[14:57] categorized across 2 primaries

[15:00] areas. The first is going to

[15:01] be the manual procedures that

[15:02] are performed and the effect

[15:02] that has on the efficiencies

[15:06] to the system. The second will

[15:06] be across the defined

[15:10] expectations. What is our

[15:11] performance standards? How are

[15:12] we documenting the

[15:13] expectations of various

[15:17] personnel district-wide? And

[15:20] Survation 1, 2, 3, really

[15:22] capture that system

[15:25] limitation. There's a lot of

[15:27] paper involved in the process

[15:28] whether collection of

[15:28] receipts, when we have to go

[15:30] out and buy materials for

[15:32] parts. Well, that it's the

[15:34] actual printing of the work

[15:34] order and in and it's

[15:35] information and handing it off

[15:38] to a technician to attach a

[15:39] clipboard in going to cite

[15:40] document their work orders,

[15:44] write things down. Lot of

[15:46] manual entry. That results

[15:48] delays. It MAY result in

[15:48] missing documents the

[15:49] occasional last receipt. And

[15:50] we saw that within our

[15:55] testing. The information that

[15:57] is within the system is

[15:58] relative 8 has incomplete or

[16:02] inaccurate as that information

[16:03] is being input into this

[16:05] system. What is collected if

[16:05] we're not writing something

[16:06] down on those people were

[16:08] quarters. It's not being

[16:09] manually input into the system

[16:12] as a system of record. As a

[16:14] result of that, we do see

[16:16] instances management's ability

[16:19] to monitor overall performance

[16:20] and service expectations is

[16:21] limited because the

[16:22] information just MAY not be

[16:25] there. The system itself

[16:27] doesn't have required fields.

[16:29] So if someone isn't real

[16:31] go-getter, you know, maybe we

[16:32] just MISS Something. It

[16:33] doesn't spit it back at you

[16:34] and say, hey, please make sure

[16:35] we complete everything so that

[16:36] we have it for future

[16:40] reference. That's in line with

[16:42] some of the expectations that

[16:43] we do currently have

[16:46] opportunity to continue to

[16:47] enhance the standard operating

[16:47] procedures. Observation

[16:48] details. These are things that

[16:51] we do. These are things that

[16:52] we expect from our personnel,

[16:54] but we MAY not have that

[16:55] written down as a standard

[16:55] operating procedure to hold

[16:59] ourselves accountable to. The

[17:00] final system capability that

[17:02] has opportunity. And we've

[17:04] seen successfully implemented

[17:06] at other districts is warranty

[17:08] management. Lot of

[17:08] institutional knowledge, a lot

[17:09] of expertise within the

[17:10] maintenance operation here at

[17:14] the district. What we're

[17:15] reliant on to monitor some of

[17:16] these warranties that maybe

[17:19] it's fine to before we go and

[17:21] replace a roof, replace an

[17:23] hvac system. We need to ask

[17:24] ourselves, is this under

[17:27] warranty? And typically that

[17:28] falls into supervisors

[17:31] expertise, I remember having

[17:32] replace. It's just a year ago.

[17:35] It should be under warranty.

[17:36] There's certainly capability

[17:38] to enhance the system to track

[17:39] those things and provide

[17:40] automated updates, whether

[17:40] that's in the preventative

[17:43] maintenance field. So

[17:44] maintaining a roof point. Do

[17:46] we know we need to inspect its

[17:48] a once a year? So having an

[17:49] automated reminder to go do

[17:50] that preventative maintenance

[17:54] to maintain that, won't he is

[17:55] a system capability again that

[17:57] we've seen implemented

[17:57] elsewhere, that the district,

[17:59] his yacht not yet implemented,

[18:00] but we believe we understand

[18:00] to be a capability of the

[18:04] current operating system. Now,

[18:05] those quick summary of all 5

[18:08] observations. I know it is a

[18:09] packed agenda. Answer, any

[18:10] detailed questions that there

[18:10] MAY be.

[18:14] >> I am a network. Lee. First

[18:17] question. Is just to the

[18:20] superintendent. Some of the

[18:21] southern. He said already have

[18:22] received some of this.

[18:26] >> So

[18:26] >> before I ask any questions,

[18:30] I would ask. Is there anything

[18:32] that has already been started

[18:33] in correcting some of this

[18:37] before? I asked a couple of my

[18:38] questions. Absolutely. I mean,

[18:39] why repeat if you're going to

[18:40] say you're right, right, and

[18:43] thank you for that

[18:44] opportunity.

[18:45] >> And so when you look at the

[18:47] 5 noted findings, I would say

[18:47] that.

[18:49] >> First, we'll all of them

[18:53] could be solved if we had a

[18:55] stronger standard operating

[18:56] procedure, right? So I would

[18:57] say even though that is listed

[19:00] as moderate, it certainly

[19:01] drives this a whole process it

[19:04] needs to be a digital standard

[19:05] operating procedure. And so

[19:07] where we get lost is using an

[19:08] and I understand we have

[19:09] workers out in the fields

[19:15] using the paper because it's

[19:16] easier than dragging a device

[19:19] with you. But that takes away

[19:20] our ability to prioritize and

[19:22] to really track and better

[19:26] monitor all of our systems. So

[19:26] the team has already started

[19:27] working on a standard

[19:31] operating procedure. That is

[19:32] digital that would then

[19:34] contain information related to

[19:36] more intense. Well within that

[19:36] system. So we're not just

[19:37] relying on the knowledge that

[19:39] our people have. And we have a

[19:40] very skilled set of

[19:42] individuals who work on these

[19:44] teams. But we know that

[19:47] systems work better when they

[19:49] have that automated feature to

[19:51] him. And we've also are

[19:54] looking and our strategic plan

[19:56] for a kpi directly tied to

[19:57] this. That would go into

[20:00] Benchmark. 1004.2, an order to

[20:03] really allocate all of our

[20:04] resources effectively. We need

[20:05] to make sure that we're

[20:06] watching that as we do a great

[20:08] job and other systems that we

[20:08] have in the district of

[20:12] maintaining those work orders.

[20:12] I can tell you, Scott Hansen

[20:17] does not lead it. Computer get

[20:18] touched without a reporter and

[20:22] then he's able to tell us what

[20:24] happened. But the result was

[20:25] how many work orders are

[20:25] completed. And that's good

[20:29] data that we need to determine

[20:31] all all of our systems related

[20:33] to technology. And so using

[20:35] what we know is working in one

[20:35] department and transferring it

[20:38] over and training our teams is

[20:40] what I know. MR. Clarke and

[20:43] Missus are already working on

[20:46] to make this a better system.

[20:47] They are not happy. We're not

[20:51] happy with the results that we

[20:52] see here. And so the quest to

[20:53] make it better is already

[20:53] begun and we will make it

[20:56] better.

[20:58] >> One of the so obviously,

[21:01] you know, You answered a

[21:04] couple things for But the one

[21:04] question

[21:09] >> I had is and I know, look.

[21:09] >> Seems like a lot. This is

[21:13] obviously manual labor.

[21:13] Whatever. And I think the

[21:14] digit digital board, they have

[21:15] not patter something like that

[21:16] out there and going through

[21:18] and making sure there's like,

[21:20] you know, the Asterix says you

[21:20] have to fill this portion

[21:21] outright. Think we do all of,

[21:23] you know, with everything

[21:25] filling up. But other question

[21:26] obviously they're dealing

[21:28] with.

[21:30] >> a lot of

[21:30] >> were cornered me through

[21:33] what?

[21:35] >> You know, this system that

[21:38] we have. How how many schools?

[21:42] Devices, you know? I mean,

[21:42] thousands and thousands of

[21:44] different things going on.

[21:47] Guess my question is. And you

[21:47] MAY not in the of your head

[21:51] and that's fine. We staffed

[21:54] properly, right? They do. We

[21:55] do. We have the right making a

[21:56] mess in the right up enough.

[21:58] Staff is my I'm not in the

[21:59] right people say do we have

[22:03] enough? Because if one, you

[22:04] know, if there's if there's

[22:05] one leader that has all these

[22:07] technicians are needed to get

[22:09] a check, is that really even

[22:11] feasible? So I guess some of

[22:12] that and some of that in

[22:13] automation is going to help

[22:14] with that. There's no

[22:15] question. But that was really

[22:18] my question going to be. Do we

[22:20] feel like we're staff? They're

[22:21] appropriately. We need to have

[22:24] more help there. I know. No,

[22:26] we don't have enough

[22:27] technicians and things like

[22:29] that ever happened to

[22:30] outsource that out, right?

[22:31] Which is a whole nother

[22:33] because obviously can control

[22:35] process is when it's your own

[22:38] people, right? You so what

[22:41] amount of staff is what? But

[22:44] my question So I'm.

[22:48] >> Now this covered from 2024.

[22:49] Through, I think APRIL and 26

[22:51] right. I can tell you that our

[22:53] staffing is stronger than in

[22:55] 2024, efforts have helped in

[22:59] that regard as to retaining

[23:00] our staff and filling those

[23:03] positions. It's still not

[23:05] where we wanted to be. We

[23:05] always are running in

[23:07] vacancies. And yes, that does

[23:11] contribute to the ability to

[23:12] properly track because we end

[23:15] up with weather is contracted

[23:16] worker an employee who

[23:16] stretched thinner than we

[23:20] would like them to be. Going

[23:22] to the manual work order just

[23:23] to quickly accomplish the task

[23:24] to provide what we need to to

[23:24] keep first rules moving

[23:28] forward. Has been the

[23:28] priority. And I appreciate

[23:32] that from the team. But now

[23:32] that our staffing is becoming

[23:33] a little bit more stabilized

[23:34] and we've been able to make

[23:36] adjustments and working

[23:38] through bargaining units to

[23:40] help raise our salaries to

[23:41] competitive level. Hopefully

[23:45] now we can get Digital

[23:45] procedure out there and works

[23:50] efficiently. No financial

[23:53] thing, MR. Kennedy.

[23:54] >> Thank Jack. I just want to

[23:55] be clear about the overall

[24:00] theme of this report is that

[24:00] those findings here or

[24:01] observations? Excuse me,

[24:03] there's Survation, but the

[24:04] nature of the observations is

[24:06] that we could do things more

[24:07] efficiently not that there was

[24:11] any kind of fiscal risk or

[24:11] equipment or money walking out

[24:12] the door. It was just we can

[24:13] be more efficient departments

[24:16] that correct? I would

[24:17] categorize as crack. Yeah.

[24:17] Absolutely. As an operational

[24:20] audit, we try and capture

[24:21] that.

[24:21] >> Continued progress.

[24:22] Continued efficiency

[24:25] development through our panic

[24:27] switch has our recommendations

[24:28] in there. We tried to lay out

[24:29] a road map for management to

[24:32] say this is how things can be

[24:32] prioritized as it relates to

[24:36] each of our recommendations as

[24:37] relates to efficiency, there's

[24:38] always going to be pass

[24:39] component to that. Whether

[24:40] it's labor, if it takes us 2

[24:41] hours when it should take us

[24:44] one. There is an intrinsic

[24:47] pasta that but I I think we're

[24:48] talking in the nature this

[24:49] report more about how can we

[24:50] continue to make things better

[24:52] and build on the existing

[24:54] nation that we have right?

[24:56] Yeah, I you know, from been a

[24:57] while since district spent in

[25:00] this. In this posture. But,

[25:01] you know, people say, oh, and

[25:02] there's a there's a red

[25:05] observation on the report and

[25:06] to ps the for many years ago,

[25:07] people oh, my GOD, you know,

[25:09] we've got we've got to read

[25:10] the we've got a high risk

[25:12] observations. I just want to

[25:14] be clear, the nature of the

[25:16] nature of the risk. This is

[25:16] not this is not money or

[25:18] inventory. Walking out the

[25:18] door.

[25:19] >> This is just we can improve

[25:21] our process chair Yes, sir, I

[25:26] would. Say that the reason

[25:27] this is a high priority, MR.

[25:30] Kennedy is. Without the

[25:31] controls. You don't know

[25:32] whether you're being efficient

[25:35] or not. And without the data

[25:36] to be able to evaluate it. You

[25:39] don't know if you're using

[25:40] your staff efficiently and if

[25:41] you're hitting the right

[25:44] priorities need to be hit. You

[25:45] also when you are short of

[25:46] staff becomes even more

[25:49] critical to have that because

[25:50] those priorities don't go

[25:51] away. But if you've got only a

[25:51] certain number of bodies that

[25:55] can deal with it. The other

[25:56] thing that I picked up out of

[25:59] this is we're not tracking.

[25:59] Service requirements to

[26:04] maintain warranties. So if

[26:05] it's got an air conditioner

[26:06] that says we're supposed to

[26:06] maintain and do these

[26:07] procedures every 6 months and

[26:10] we're not. And it breaks

[26:10] you're looking at a very

[26:14] expensive proposition. And so

[26:15] the thing that we're talking

[26:17] about this and I've had a lot

[26:18] of experience in the

[26:19] maintenance and facilities

[26:22] area. We worried about things

[26:24] walking out the door. We

[26:24] worried about that and we're

[26:26] very satisfied that it's not

[26:29] happening. But at the same

[26:31] token with huge number of air

[26:34] conditioners, computers and

[26:34] everything that this district

[26:38] has. We've got to get better

[26:39] focused on what we're doing,

[26:42] how we're doing it and having

[26:43] a systematic plan. I can tell

[26:44] you even on my church, we've

[26:48] got 115 air conditioners. And

[26:49] putting chart together. This

[26:50] is when it was when the

[26:55] warranty was done and getting

[26:56] love doing that because we

[26:57] have a situation where this is

[27:02] huge and services. And it

[27:03] anybody trying to do anything

[27:03] wrong. But you just didn't

[27:06] have a system in place to keep

[27:12] So as funds become more.

[27:12] Scarce as we look certain

[27:13] propositions being voted on

[27:16] and the attitudes of some of

[27:18] the voters. We've got to be

[27:19] much more efficient and much

[27:22] more focused on. Are we

[27:23] getting everything we can out

[27:24] of it? And I would ask you to

[27:25] take that away from this more

[27:28] than anything else. It says

[27:31] its management it and it's not

[27:32] that you don't have good

[27:32] managers. It's like we don't

[27:35] have the particles in the

[27:35] system for them to and it's

[27:37] becoming the more we grow.

[27:40] More critical it becomes.

[27:41] Because year is really if

[27:44] you're If you're Hoping to

[27:48] have. Institutional memory.

[27:49] You lose that when somebody

[27:51] leaves. If it's not written

[27:54] down, it didn't happen. And a

[27:55] lot of stuff is not written

[27:55] down is not in the system is

[27:58] not law. Does not. And I would

[28:00] ask you take that away from I

[28:02] appreciate the heads up the

[28:06] perspective. Thank you. To MR.

[28:09] CHAIRMAN. Thank you for that

[28:13] perspective. My mic on.

[28:15] >> Here a couple nearby. So

[28:19] aircraft speaking of aircraft.

[28:20] I kind of disagree with you,

[28:22] MR. Kennedy and the

[28:24] >> if the faa came in and and

[28:25] we were running an airline.

[28:29] And we have this report.

[28:29] >> Instead of just, you know,

[28:30] picking their conditioning

[28:31] systems tools, they would shut

[28:33] us down. Okay. And this has

[28:38] been area. I'm glad to see

[28:38] that you're working on

[28:40] PRESIDENT Iran and then that

[28:41] we've had these conversations

[28:42] I had with the law

[28:44] superintendent lot of times

[28:45] when people ask if we have

[28:46] kind of school system that we

[28:48] say, we have a very good

[28:50] school system. If this could

[28:51] get it consider saying we have

[28:54] a great school system because

[28:58] this is just not. Who we

[29:00] should be as the were better

[29:01] than this, right. Let put it

[29:02] that way. I know we can do

[29:03] better. And I know PRESIDENT

[29:04] Is working on getting better

[29:08] and and we just have to get

[29:11] better besides the because

[29:11] when applying planes around,

[29:15] you know, it well, they are

[29:15] Jen doesn't get fixed for like

[29:16] 10 You know, no one's gonna

[29:20] die right? Or there's a

[29:21] flickering lights. You know, I

[29:22] remember one thing I saw I

[29:25] went to school and there was

[29:26] player and there was I was

[29:27] getting tour by the principal

[29:31] and there's the there are some

[29:32] lights there. For whether life

[29:32] play at night, I don't know.

[29:34] But anyway, so start talking

[29:39] with Jim Future. And the first

[29:40] of all, the columns were

[29:43] rusted on the play area and

[29:44] walked over there as it was

[29:45] like, oh, like MISTER Tatum

[29:46] goes look on the likes what's

[29:49] happened. Is they come on the

[29:50] go right off, right for those

[29:52] shorter something up there.

[29:53] And I asked I said how long

[29:55] that been like that? He

[29:58] although month year, something

[30:00] like that and not trying to be

[30:01] too critical, but we have to

[30:01] get some of the stuff out on

[30:06] the table. The process is not

[30:07] where it needs to be enough.

[30:10] I'm glad to see that the

[30:11] standing operating procedures

[30:12] and what we might call a

[30:13] checklist in the aviation

[30:13] order is really what we need

[30:14] here to bring this up to

[30:18] speed, to really move us from

[30:18] good to great. And I really

[30:20] appreciate what you said

[30:22] about. You know, we've talked

[30:22] about you've heard me talk

[30:23] about proactive versus

[30:28] reactive maintenance and over

[30:29] ruling out there doing a

[30:29] reactive maintenance, the

[30:30] republic costing ourselves

[30:33] money in the long run. My not

[30:34] having a more proactive system

[30:35] being more on top of this. But

[30:39] we are okay. By I really try

[30:39] to emphasize that because this

[30:42] is probably be if we can get

[30:44] this fixed before, you know, I

[30:45] leave for at least we're

[30:46] moving. This is great. We're

[30:47] moving in the right direction

[30:48] of prime up the board. I will

[30:49] consider have accomplished

[30:51] something that matters. Well,

[30:52] i was on the board because I

[30:53] think this really move us.

[30:54] Birds being a really great

[30:59] school system. I do have one

[31:01] question on Page Please

[31:03] probably missed

[31:07] >> There's a concerning the

[31:07] first thought. There's a good

[31:08] on the observation area.

[31:12] There's a that's a concerning

[31:12] bullet. Probably a good

[31:16] explanation for it. But says a

[31:18] report on vendors and for the

[31:19] period of one to like 2024

[31:25] through 9 APRIL 2026. About

[31:26] 77 million, 600,000 dollars of

[31:28] maintenance and operations.

[31:30] And however, a report very

[31:33] specific to work order costs

[31:35] allocated expenditure of 100.

[31:36] And 26.2, 5, 8 million

[31:38] indicating that worker report

[31:40] carries or incorrectly

[31:41] allocating costs that we're

[31:46] not actually And if I the map.

[31:47] Real quickly on a piece of

[31:48] paper that about 45 49 million

[31:50] dollars. Of a difference

[31:57] between. What was what and

[31:58] showed that and what cost

[32:02] allocation was. Since earning.

[32:02] But again, I'm not down in the

[32:03] weeds what happened here, but

[32:04] maybe somebody could explain

[32:07] that different than is that a

[32:10] problem or that some

[32:11] accounting error or is there a

[32:12] process here that's really

[32:12] broken or what's going on? But

[32:14] I think a large part the

[32:17] process of the 126,000 in work

[32:18] that didn't actually make it

[32:18] over into the people saw

[32:22] system sometimes some

[32:25] something gets put in or

[32:25] duplicated or it's not

[32:26] something the actually gets

[32:27] chargeable, then they don't go

[32:28] back and clean those.

[32:30] >> That information up

[32:33] Definitely the 77, you know,

[32:35] sorry, million that made it

[32:38] into the people. Stop. Was

[32:40] good and paid for that kind of

[32:42] a thing. It's the piece on the

[32:44] other side in this manual

[32:45] system that needs to be looked

[32:47] at and reworked as as they

[32:48] said to be addressed and

[32:49] someone to take some time to

[32:52] go back in. Somebody opened up

[32:52] something that was actually

[32:55] not a chargeable project or if

[32:56] somebody put something into

[32:59] times, they need to clean it

[33:01] up. Like when we close the

[33:01] financials at year end,

[33:02] there's a lot of cleanup with

[33:04] purchase orders and everything

[33:06] counts. Something like this

[33:06] maintenance for Porter doesn't

[33:10] get to see that kind of

[33:12] process. So that's something

[33:12] that would be going into to be

[33:15] able sure that.

[33:18] >> talk about automation,

[33:19] other I'm hopeful that there's

[33:21] motivation opportunities. In

[33:25] this area is the company night

[33:26] are there other companies that

[33:28] are that can help us with

[33:31] this? Any thoughts on how we

[33:32] >> So of MISTER Clerk, if you

[33:35] want to talk about the art. If

[33:37] you want to talk about more

[33:43] quarter system

[33:44] >> You can sit hold kind of

[33:47] holding I'm old enough to last

[33:49] because this is kind of where

[33:50] come from. So but I want to

[33:50] hear from everyone else before

[33:56] I go South. I don't know if

[33:58] you want to let him talk

[33:59] because Ms Skelton is on the

[33:59] board. I have a protocol

[34:02] question as well. So you want

[34:03] to hear one them personal.

[34:06] Okay. Okay. Go ahead, MR.

[34:07] Carr.

[34:08] >> Yes, ma'am. Thank you. So

[34:11] for the opportunities. Yes. So

[34:11] now we're looking at

[34:12] automating a lot of our system

[34:16] working with Meta, a

[34:17] maintenance provider has some

[34:17] experience with doing this

[34:19] with another district. We

[34:22] believe that will help us

[34:23] tremendously what been able to

[34:24] maintain the system and make

[34:27] sure it's accurate. And we're

[34:28] following up with those loose

[34:30] details you know, the team

[34:32] has. I've been looking at

[34:36] this. Since the soup put us.

[34:40] On this task. You know, we're

[34:41] monitoring the data, making

[34:44] sure we have our following all

[34:44] those details. But the

[34:46] automation peace will be

[34:47] critical to helping get over

[34:49] that hump. So talking to the

[34:51] team here in the back as we

[34:53] were hearing some of this we

[34:57] do have systems in place,

[34:58] right? Preventable

[34:58] preventative maintenance

[34:59] systems and things of that

[35:03] nature. We could be better,

[35:03] right? So not going to sit say

[35:07] we can't be better. But the

[35:07] team is looking at all those

[35:08] those pieces in looking to

[35:12] bring that forward. We have a

[35:12] kpi the wing for to you will

[35:13] be monitoring. You'll be able

[35:15] to see let's make a pace in

[35:19] those areas. Staffing has been

[35:20] little bit of a concern that

[35:23] the suit said, you know, we're

[35:24] better than we have been. And

[35:25] some of those areas thankful

[35:28] to the board to proven us

[35:29] raising some of the salaries

[35:31] for electricians and plumbers

[35:34] and things of that nature. So

[35:35] we'll continue get better in

[35:40] this area.

[35:40] >> Go ahead and since. I do

[35:41] have a protocol question.

[35:42] You're sitting right here.

[35:47] Insist time for that one. So

[35:49] is there going to be

[35:50] electronic I mean, this is

[35:51] look a lot for electronic

[35:53] system in place for teachers

[35:54] and staff to submit requests

[35:57] because it was always a hay.

[35:58] You know, the lights are out

[35:59] in my classroom. And I'm gonna

[36:01] call. You know, I'm gonna call

[36:04] the front office is then going

[36:05] to call the head custodian.

[36:05] Who's then going to come look

[36:06] at it and who's then going to

[36:07] go away and then hopefully

[36:08] come back in 24 hours and fix

[36:09] it. So, you know, there's a

[36:13] way to. Summit something like

[36:16] Little tab in mind. Giants

[36:18] spread of tabs on like my

[36:19] computer to click and say,

[36:20] hey, I have a maintenance

[36:21] requests than it goes wherever

[36:24] it needs to go so that your

[36:24] gym teacher can put in that

[36:27] request or so that, you know,

[36:28] the teacher sitting in the

[36:29] classroom who doesn't have

[36:30] time to go run down the home,

[36:33] find the custodian, say, hey.

[36:34] You know, this light went out

[36:35] and or its flickering and

[36:36] driving me nuts or all the

[36:37] sudden, you know, this is not

[36:42] working that way. It gets

[36:43] processed faster versus

[36:44] relaying messages all the way

[36:46] around campus before gets

[36:49] where it needs to for you. I

[36:50] will take that in

[36:50] consideration. We hadn't

[36:52] gotten to that point to this

[36:54] point. What we've done is

[36:56] we've really spent a lot more

[36:59] time in training. Our head

[37:00] custodians.

[37:01] >> At the middle and

[37:02] elementary level level and

[37:06] high school plant managers be

[37:09] more proactive and some of the

[37:10] things making sure they're

[37:10] doing walks and documenting

[37:11] what's happening on campus.

[37:15] >> Sending those reports, 2

[37:16] maintenance so that we have

[37:17] that record there. We can

[37:18] follow up on that in, for

[37:19] instance, if there's a work

[37:24] order that was Putin. In the

[37:25] system, this head custodian

[37:28] consent, something this report

[37:30] 2 maintenance on the backside

[37:32] as another check so that we

[37:36] can follow up whatever the

[37:37] concern is. So we're putting

[37:38] taken steps. So a lot of major

[37:42] steps this You'll see that

[37:43] come forward. But the key to

[37:44] that will be those head

[37:47] custodians on those campuses

[37:47] because they're, you know,

[37:49] monitor not walking the

[37:50] campus. Also bringing an

[37:52] assistant principal, the

[37:53] superintendent kind of change.

[37:56] Some of our ways of work for

[37:58] assistant principals for this

[37:58] year. We have a peel the

[38:01] curriculum of ap over

[38:03] operation, so to in a straight

[38:04] of assistant principal at the

[38:06] high school level. So those

[38:10] people along with you are

[38:11] whoever in charge of the area

[38:13] along with that head

[38:14] custodian, each campus working

[38:15] hand in hand with our

[38:15] maintenance department will

[38:17] take us to that next level. So

[38:18] that's something we'll be

[38:21] looking is always looking out

[38:22] How did from personal

[38:23] experience that they do? I

[38:25] call the head custodian. Do I

[38:25] let you know the one comes in

[38:26] my classroom now?

[38:29] >> Because they don't. When I

[38:30] walked the campus, they don't

[38:31] get to go into everything and

[38:32] see what it is that I might

[38:35] have going wrong. But we want

[38:37] them to be that first point of

[38:38] contact with it MAY be

[38:39] something could still you can

[38:41] handle very easily on their

[38:43] hand. So so we'll kind kind of

[38:44] work to make communicate know,

[38:46] where to go. Just who like

[38:51] that smoke. Peyton. So know

[38:55] you guys

[38:56] >> We're working hard with on

[38:57] this network with all of for

[38:57] years. I've been on the board

[39:01] and I got give kind of like a

[39:03] philosophical thought. Here is

[39:04] that one question. We might

[39:06] want to ask yourself is other

[39:09] we get here and maybe some of

[39:10] the man in the all that long,

[39:11] this has been going on for

[39:14] years. But it is a good

[39:15] question how did get ourselves

[39:18] to the point where, you know,

[39:22] got all that and all of the

[39:22] would you pull assessments

[39:23] that I've seen of the audits

[39:26] that I've seen? I've never

[39:27] seen something like this in

[39:28] this school district, right?

[39:29] So questions like how did we

[39:33] get here? And then so then you

[39:33] when you ask that question,

[39:36] you think, well, how we not

[39:36] get here again? And that might

[39:38] apply in other areas, whether

[39:39] it's finance or whether

[39:40] operations in other areas. And

[39:41] the thing that out for

[39:42] everybody is and what you

[39:47] happened. Through big and see

[39:48] new AirPods leadership

[39:48] positions and then during

[39:50] worship education. Is that one

[39:50] when senior leaders are too

[39:54] focused? On the daily

[39:55] operations and the people, one

[40:00] of them are not. Being

[40:01] proactive in bringing problems

[40:02] up and you end up having to

[40:02] spend a lot of your time just

[40:06] looking down into the. Into

[40:07] your operation going to go fix

[40:10] that. Go to that fix that what

[40:12] tells me and I could be wrong.

[40:14] But general experiences that

[40:15] somebody below your level

[40:19] should have been the boss. You

[40:20] know, these these workers

[40:21] aren't getting done. They've

[40:23] been sitting out here for 6

[40:24] months. There's you know,

[40:25] there's a discrepancy in all

[40:26] this payment, you know. And so

[40:28] finally, balls up your level

[40:30] and I didn't know, right. But

[40:31] somewhere down in the system,

[40:35] people could have been. More

[40:36] proactive and take a little

[40:37] more initiative to bring this

[40:39] up. The lights of it because

[40:41] that's why in a way we hire

[40:42] senior leaders. That something

[40:45] like this? So the faa doesn't

[40:47] have and doing especially go

[40:48] away. You got problems. You

[40:51] know that that's a threat all

[40:53] while paid to not get to this

[40:55] point. And trying to be gentle

[40:55] with my work because I know

[40:56] we're all working hard and but

[41:00] this is to some degree. What

[41:04] is that terminology? I well, I

[41:04] want to call the leadership

[41:06] failure, but it is a it is

[41:09] certainly an area where we

[41:10] have ask ourselves, how did we

[41:13] get here and how do we not get

[41:14] there again in the future,

[41:14] whether it's this area or

[41:16] something, you know, and my

[41:17] experience like I said, has

[41:18] been that when leaders are

[41:23] focused. Area looking across

[41:24] to other areas and when the

[41:28] people aren't doing what? What

[41:29] MAY be perfect pollen pet base

[41:30] leadership where people are

[41:30] coming up from the bottom

[41:31] about, we've got problems.

[41:33] We've got to fix this and

[41:34] there's kind of doing their

[41:35] job every day. But they're not

[41:35] really thinking in this to

[41:37] make things better. That is

[41:38] one way that that we get to

[41:40] where we are today. So this

[41:43] provided back. Everybody I

[41:44] know of. You worked really

[41:46] hard. Like all of you not It's

[41:47] just this is definitely area

[41:51] where leadership can be

[41:52] learned and how we can better

[41:55] south of there. MADAM I think

[41:58] if you look back where we

[41:58] were,

[41:59] >> years back with the initial

[42:02] implementation of the people

[42:02] and the and the nightmares we

[42:05] were dealing with the staff

[42:08] only had a certain amount of.

[42:09] Time they could focus and they

[42:11] focused on what was the worst.

[42:15] We're working down the list.

[42:15] This is an area. It is one of

[42:16] the worst ones you seen since

[42:17] I've been on the audit

[42:20] committee. But it is also a

[42:21] reflection of putting out

[42:22] fires instead of being able to

[42:25] do a fire suppression and

[42:26] there's been a lot of that.

[42:30] This is why we do a risk

[42:33] assessment that required every

[42:33] 5 years that have updated

[42:34] every year. Where is that risk

[42:38] in? This is the first year

[42:39] they did the were it highly

[42:40] identified. This has got the

[42:44] potential risk we're always

[42:45] going to try and bring you

[42:46] what we see is going to bite

[42:50] you. And and and I got commend

[42:52] the staff because they have

[42:53] been short-handed. They have

[42:54] been underpaid. They have been

[42:55] running around like chickens a

[43:00] lot of times and you know, the

[43:01] work that the superintendent

[43:02] is brought forward to get the

[43:02] salaries up to get things more

[43:07] organized. We're getting there

[43:09] again. We've been going down

[43:10] as a district in checking this

[43:11] off and then going hear words

[43:12] a problem in check in and

[43:13] going down. And we've got down

[43:16] to this now. The thing I would

[43:19] encourage you to look at

[43:20] those. We did find fell

[43:21] cations. We didn't find

[43:22] anybody running off with

[43:22] anything. We didn't find

[43:24] anybody pull any games. It's

[43:26] just we now have to focus on

[43:28] the management and protocols,

[43:31] as you say. The faa has been

[43:33] looking at the other stuff.

[43:33] First, you know, it's a gas in

[43:38] the plane we're getting this.

[43:42] We also at the meeting Tuesday

[43:42] Thursday, going to be looking

[43:43] at the audit letters and what

[43:44] we're going to be doing for

[43:47] this fiscal year. Again, based

[43:48] on those risks based on what

[43:52] it is but this was one. Hit

[43:54] home to me having my

[43:55] experience in this field that

[43:56] I just wanted us to go

[43:58] through. It. We would have

[43:59] brought this to you sooner. If

[44:02] we had doing a 5 year update

[44:03] on the audit plan and on a

[44:04] short-term basis of better

[44:05] things had happened. If we

[44:06] hadn't had the turnover that

[44:08] we had. So I think when you

[44:10] look at this and it overall

[44:11] basis, I think you got to

[44:12] commend the staff are getting

[44:14] done what they've done and

[44:15] we're going forward. You've

[44:16] heard they've already started.

[44:17] The process looking at it.

[44:18] We've got a new consultant on

[44:19] the people soft. So I I'm

[44:23] encouraged. And I think that

[44:24] you will be able to look back

[44:25] on your term and see what you

[44:30] did successfully, sir. I agree

[44:31] with that. I agree with maybe

[44:33] the last 6 months or so. But I

[44:33] mean, it's sort of this

[44:36] conversation with previous

[44:37] superintendent.

[44:39] >> It's just but we're making

[44:39] progress. Recounts you hired a

[44:42] good one. But we but you know,

[44:43] I agree. I agree. I like It's

[44:45] just it's it's what's the

[44:48] disappointing? That that's all

[44:50] it is. It's just

[44:51] disappointing. We can do

[44:52] better than this. And we are

[44:54] going to better than this. And

[44:55] I'm glad that we're here, but

[44:55] it is concerning. Like I said,

[45:00] it. And say that when I say

[45:02] the faa would come in shut us

[45:03] down. But, you know, my

[45:04] experience that they came in

[45:05] and salt, the maintenance

[45:06] issues that we were having

[45:06] with their crop, like we're

[45:07] having with our buildings and

[45:08] stuff like that, they would it

[45:10] would not let us fly. Now, you

[45:12] know, their conditions go

[45:15] down. Nobody necessarily dies

[45:16] or variation systems don't do

[45:18] Like when does your life And

[45:21] it's hot? Well actually didn't

[45:22] France? That was amazing. The

[45:23] whole nother story with that.

[45:24] They don't have air

[45:24] conditioners and some of the

[45:26] hospitals and elderly care

[45:27] facilities and hundreds of

[45:28] people Just amazing. But

[45:35] anyway. And brother were doing

[45:35] better than we need them. And

[45:36] it's a good look. That's a

[45:37] good leadership lesson about

[45:39] how did we get here? I would

[45:40] not get here in the future and

[45:41] that falls on senior leaders

[45:44] some degree just say let what

[45:44] happened here. Happened in

[45:47] some other. Area, whatever

[45:50] that might be finances

[45:51] instruction, public affairs,

[45:53] transportation, you know,

[45:54] because my general impression

[45:55] of being here is that those

[45:58] things generally one pretty

[45:59] well. But I started things

[46:01] that I've mentioned are

[46:02] anecdotal like lights and

[46:02] irrigation systems. But I see

[46:05] them all over the district at

[46:07] some point in a panic, don't

[46:08] become evidence of a problem.

[46:11] You brought it, instance, on.

[46:12] I'm glad that we're doing

[46:13] something about it. That's all

[46:14] I have to say. Thank on that.

[46:17] >> Cannot Are you done heat?

[46:20] No, no, I do have a question.

[46:21] But you guys just going to

[46:22] say, you know, we are taking

[46:23] steps, started taking stuff

[46:25] before the report came out.

[46:27] >> To make things better.

[46:28] There's a couple Fox's when

[46:29] attacked, we stated before,

[46:33] working with meta to automate

[46:34] some of the system so that we

[46:35] can prioritize a little

[46:36] easier, the work that needs to

[46:38] be done. That's big stuff.

[46:39] Second step as a state. It is

[46:40] working with the people that

[46:43] we have to make the system

[46:44] better. Write those tickets

[46:47] told that campuses working

[46:49] with our maintenance

[46:49] supervisors were meeting

[46:50] regularly to look at where

[46:52] things are and what we need to

[46:53] get better. We doing on

[46:56] audits, right? We're walking

[46:58] campuses to see how things

[47:00] are, as you know, kind of

[47:02] alluded to. Not just in the

[47:04] classrooms. This walking the

[47:04] entire campus to see where the

[47:06] issues are. And then that's

[47:08] another check and balance. All

[47:09] that comes together to help us

[47:13] be successful. So you will see

[47:14] it better the next time we

[47:15] have to report out on this.

[47:18] Also up for that meeting.

[47:26] We'll Okay. Solution. Some

[47:29] along the point. Was saying

[47:30] about like, how do we get

[47:31] here? Did we ever it heavy?

[47:36] >> I don't remember seeing.

[47:39] Audit done on this yet since

[47:43] I've been here.

[47:44] >> Since it's been a while and

[47:45] that is the thing. We've tried

[47:48] to do it in the last year with

[47:48] the previous during lot

[47:52] utters. But because of the 5

[47:53] year planning versus that we

[47:54] had to do. That was the same

[47:57] people would have been working

[47:59] with. They only had so much

[48:01] time Other circumstances. This

[48:03] got pushed off. I had wanted

[48:04] to be done before the others

[48:08] left. But it kind of got to it

[48:12] as we can share noted there's.

[48:13] Been a long time. Been looked

[48:14] at right, that other areas

[48:15] that had potential like

[48:17] transportation. Some of the

[48:18] other areas that actually had

[48:20] a higher risk of. But as the

[48:23] problems first, yeah, but we

[48:24] are trying to look at anything

[48:28] we see could be improved or

[48:29] potential problems. You can

[48:30] see. I don't know the

[48:32] circumstances, but when you

[48:32] have air conditioning is go

[48:33] down on the first day of

[48:35] school, you know, this is

[48:38] something we want to avoid

[48:39] ever again chair. And so we're

[48:43] trying to. Run this audit

[48:44] committee and use these

[48:48] auditors to do the progressive

[48:52] look not penalty. Not not. How

[48:53] can we go forward, we help you

[48:55] make it better.

[48:58] >> a like 3. Put it. You You

[49:02] said earlier that these

[49:04] observations are prior to any

[49:06] major mishaps happening. Yes,

[49:06] they're saying these are

[49:08] things that we see that could

[49:11] potentially become. And issue

[49:12] a major issue said to moving

[49:13] forward. So I go back to like

[49:15] the question of how did we get

[49:16] here? Got here would because

[49:20] looked at it and that's not

[49:21] anyone's ball per se do that

[49:23] to him. I mean, by that is

[49:24] from an audit standpoint

[49:25] outside ice coming in, looking

[49:28] at it. Thank you. Said we

[49:30] haven't had that in a long

[49:30] time. I've been here to 21 out

[49:31] Michigan. He's been here the

[49:34] longest. From 10 year. I just

[49:35] have not seen this. I don't

[49:37] know if you have seen any in

[49:41] on it like this. And so we did

[49:41] have other pressing things

[49:45] that we're getting here now.

[49:46] And so I think that part of

[49:47] the reason why we haven't got

[49:50] your just because we have it

[49:51] setback. It stepped in, looked

[49:52] at the procedures in the

[49:53] process right? And you say why

[49:54] hasn't it happened? From 8?

[50:00] Maybe? Auditor standpoint, but

[50:00] when you're the trenches and

[50:01] you're doing this from an

[50:02] everyday Every day you're

[50:06] doing this. Think about the

[50:07] last just the last 4 or 5

[50:12] years. The amount of new

[50:16] schools, which means new

[50:18] bases, new switches, new

[50:22] floors, doors, etc. And then

[50:27] multiply that by. We know that

[50:28] it's hard because we see it as

[50:32] a board. And know what we're

[50:35] trying to do from up a union

[50:36] standpoint, give raises to

[50:38] people we know were art,

[50:40] efficiencies and efficiencies

[50:41] all with with hiring

[50:42] technician because why would

[50:46] they work here for Halford?

[50:48] 2020% less. Did they go get a

[50:50] job somewhere else in the

[50:51] private industry? And by the

[50:52] way, the private industry can

[50:57] even hire enough people. We

[50:57] shouldn't there is doesn't

[50:58] come to a surprise to me that

[51:02] there's that there's

[51:02] efficiencies and in in and we

[51:04] could be better, of course,

[51:05] because we don't. And this is

[51:07] why I asked Steph, what is our

[51:10] staffing? Since I've been on

[51:11] the board, we have never been

[51:14] full staff period. We talk

[51:16] about the bus drivers and

[51:17] technicians and things that

[51:18] we've in inroads in some of

[51:20] these what we don't have. I

[51:21] don't think we're going to

[51:24] have capabilities of of the

[51:25] electricians see people in any

[51:26] said running I MAY be wrong in

[51:29] this be completely off base.

[51:32] But as soon as we stepped out.

[51:32] We can all the processes and

[51:35] things done right. But as soon

[51:37] as we step away from using our

[51:37] own people, we go to another

[51:41] contractor. Those process is

[51:45] as so peas are going to to

[51:49] eventually crack because it's

[51:49] it's not a people. We're not

[51:52] controlling those things. It

[51:53] will hire hvac system to fix

[51:53] the problem because we don't

[51:56] have one of our own hvac. You

[51:59] know, technicians ready to go.

[52:01] We can't control how they and

[52:03] put you know, mean, but we can

[52:04] people because we training

[52:06] that we can. We can do that. I

[52:12] think this It. Like we're

[52:13] probably seeing in And I bet

[52:13] you if we did this other

[52:15] school systems that are

[52:18] growing and are or any other

[52:19] baby businesses except are

[52:20] that that have road like this

[52:22] we've had since covid. We have

[52:25] not caught up in my personal

[52:28] opinion with the amount of of

[52:29] of this my staff, teaching

[52:31] staff and all that up. Talk

[52:32] about the people on the ground

[52:35] be able work. The actual

[52:36] technicians. I don't think we

[52:38] have enough at on any of the

[52:40] departments and I exactly that

[52:41] number means do we go? We 5

[52:42] left unless one less to live.

[52:46] I don't know. We don't have

[52:48] full. I mean, not schools full

[52:51] complimentary of of of

[52:51] custodians, right? We're

[52:54] always looking for them. Joe.

[52:59] I yeah. I mean. Think about

[53:00] your own personal life, the to

[53:02] do list that you're home and

[53:02] then multiply that by 60. You

[53:06] know, 60 other places that are

[53:08] also 200 times your home

[53:08] square footage and what's

[53:14] going on right? I Yeah, not

[53:15] saying that we can't do

[53:16] better. We absolutely need to

[53:18] do better. And I do believe

[53:20] that technology is a way to

[53:22] help with. Obviously the lack

[53:25] of of actual people allow

[53:27] persist for computer or

[53:28] whatever, 2, to take that job

[53:31] and do it but I just I just

[53:34] want to make sure we all like

[53:34] I we're we coming like were

[53:35] becoming from from this

[53:37] because I don't we've haven't

[53:38] had it. So if you haven't had

[53:40] it, how do you know what the

[53:41] issues are? You don't go to

[53:42] doctor physical. How you get

[53:46] to know. Right? So mean. That,

[53:46] doesn't that doesn't take

[53:48] away, though, from the fact

[53:50] that we do have to do better I

[53:51] think we can with the right

[53:53] technologies and that things

[53:54] like that. And so I'm happy to

[53:55] see us in that direction. But

[54:00] i think I just think this is

[54:02] hype. This is something that

[54:03] we haven't been really looking

[54:03] at from an audit standpoint

[54:07] and we've got a little bit too

[54:09] big for bridges a little bit.

[54:10] So to speak of like what we

[54:10] and maintaining the school's

[54:18] in Off my soapbox I'm not

[54:23] working right direction. Okay.

[54:24] MR. Candidate.

[54:24] >> And then wrap it up. Yeah,

[54:27] I'll be I just wanted to be in

[54:28] case anybody is listening to

[54:29] years later and MR. Clarke

[54:32] used the term eta to refer to

[54:33] metaphor mers. And I just want

[54:33] to be really clear that we're

[54:36] not talking about Meta, the

[54:37] company just sort of

[54:39] 17 billion dollars for a q

[54:40] Lauren Kids at the social

[54:43] media just in case anybody out

[54:46] there with a thought that so

[54:46] anytime I get a gun on

[54:47] Facebook, I'm gonna take a

[54:50] chance. We are not working

[54:54] with meta. Meta. Former says

[54:56] our new vendor. Thank you.

[55:00] MADAM Chair in your app up.

[55:04] These reports are prepared by

[55:06] staff that you've engaged need

[55:07] to be a proved by this board,

[55:10] not just accept it.

[55:11] >> Both of these 2 reports are

[55:12] your reports that need to be

[55:16] approved by you and the board?

[55:16] >> And that's what we'll do

[55:17] the next agenda for for making

[55:21] the lot of things to say

[55:26] actually first of all. I knew

[55:29] that the maintenance problem.

[55:35] Maintenance system here. Was a

[55:37] huge problem. When I came on

[55:38] the board, however, there were

[55:41] other. Critical things that

[55:45] needed to be. Focused on. But

[55:50] that out there One of the

[55:56] things I in my opinion. Have

[55:59] noticed experts in the field.

[56:00] You need to have the right

[56:06] experts in the field. You have

[56:08] experts education with the

[56:10] curriculum. Yep. Experts in

[56:17] the field of ese and all those

[56:18] other programs. We do not have

[56:24] the right experts place.

[56:24] Maintenance, in my opinion. We

[56:25] have some great people, but

[56:29] you experts in those fields. I

[56:33] have. Seeing custodians mowing

[56:36] the yards. I have seen

[56:39] guardians. Picking up branches

[56:42] after storm and trash. That's

[56:46] not their role to do that. I'm

[56:49] not a huge fan of. The people

[56:56] saw. Using that system. For

[57:00] this operation for maintenance

[57:01] because you have and and

[57:06] maintenance systems. You have

[57:10] a Tron such as computers and

[57:11] everything that goes on with

[57:15] that. You have building and

[57:16] grounds me the building needs

[57:21] off. Repairs. The grounds

[57:24] needs change. And I

[57:28] technologies. Then still a t

[57:28] maintenance, which is

[57:31] custodians and that kind of

[57:34] thing. And then there's also

[57:35] sports fields. Think about the

[57:36] all of the issues that come up

[57:39] on the sports field. Somebody

[57:41] that, you know, knows that.

[57:42] And then of course,

[57:42] transportation and maintenance

[57:43] cent that goes into all of

[57:48] that. So I'm not a huge fan

[57:49] throwing more money into a

[57:53] people saw program. Watch

[57:55] system is called. People saw

[58:00] not maintenance off people. So

[58:02] I would encourage the district

[58:03] to start looking at program. I

[58:04] don't know about this matter

[58:05] program much for yeah. I kind

[58:08] of read through this. But

[58:09] there are programs

[58:11] specifically just for

[58:13] maintenance that will handle

[58:14] your building and grounds or

[58:14] facility. Your sports fields

[58:15] and transportation.

[58:22] Specifically. I don't repay. I

[58:24] see the invoices ever mother

[58:25] for invoices every month for

[58:26] people to manage what out

[58:29] there. To have.

[58:31] >> a work order.

[58:33] >> Generated in a system or in

[58:38] our case, a paper work order

[58:40] written and then it going

[58:40] through it steps to getting to

[58:43] the right. Expert in that

[58:48] field. Is is a disaster to me.

[58:52] There should be a system. And

[58:52] I worked in a so I know

[58:55] there's a system. You click on

[58:57] generate work order, then it

[59:01] says what type and area of

[59:02] work that you're looking at

[59:03] and you click through those

[59:04] fields and it takes you to the

[59:09] asset. Everything we have

[59:11] should have asked number. That

[59:16] asset. Is clicked on and then

[59:20] you describe what's going on

[59:21] without outset. If it's hvac,

[59:23] if it's for a generator in the

[59:23] kitchen, it's got to ask

[59:27] number. You write that work or

[59:29] out for that specific asset

[59:31] number. That's how you track

[59:33] how much money you're paying.

[59:37] To maintain an asset. If you

[59:37] replace it would be more cost

[59:42] effective. That's the kind of

[59:43] maintenance system on used to

[59:48] working in. Coming senior

[59:48] leadership and saying you're

[59:49] putting too much money and

[59:53] this piece of equipment. I've

[59:53] had 10 work orders on it the

[59:54] last 6 months and has cost

[59:56] this much money to fix it when

[1:00:00] a new one, what caused this?

[1:00:01] So I think our maintenance

[1:00:03] system.

[1:00:07] >> Needs total overhaul. I

[1:00:08] think it's a capital project

[1:00:12] that we can do.

[1:00:13] >> I'm sure we can work that

[1:00:15] somehow on a five-year plan. I

[1:00:17] don't again, I don't know what

[1:00:18] system you are looking at, but

[1:00:19] you need to have experts in

[1:00:21] those fields to give you

[1:00:23] feedback. And all of these

[1:00:28] critical areas. And then

[1:00:30] putting people in and place

[1:00:33] that have back browns and

[1:00:38] those specific areas. I don't

[1:00:41] think we have that right now.

[1:00:42] I really don't think that we I

[1:00:43] know that we have people that

[1:00:46] have been here forever and

[1:00:50] they get. But in these jobs

[1:00:51] and rolls. But they have no

[1:00:55] background in areas. So and

[1:00:57] I'm not trying to be district

[1:00:58] disrespectful to anybody and

[1:00:59] just going on what I know and

[1:01:03] my 20 years of working in and

[1:01:08] corporate world and how.

[1:01:09] Maintenance works. And knowing

[1:01:13] the difference you know, 12

[1:01:17] drainpipe the roofing

[1:01:18] different mills of roofing and

[1:01:25] and boiler that products,

[1:01:27] which is if something goes

[1:01:30] wrong, I get learn and eilert

[1:01:30] maintenance to go check on

[1:01:31] that immediately before blows

[1:01:34] us all up. So that's the kind

[1:01:37] of background I bring to this

[1:01:41] board and to this table. That

[1:01:42] I think that that whole

[1:01:44] department, every one of them,

[1:01:45] every every one of Asian

[1:01:48] majory hall. On. And like you

[1:01:50] said, MISTER Daniels, it's not

[1:01:52] so much about. Necessarily

[1:01:59] have and the the process in

[1:02:01] place. I think it's a lot of

[1:02:01] things is to process the

[1:02:03] people that system and and

[1:02:06] bringing that up too. We just

[1:02:06] talked about payroll and how

[1:02:10] Adam at it automated that is

[1:02:12] yet our maintenance work order

[1:02:16] system. It's still 1990's,

[1:02:19] which is sad I think it puts

[1:02:24] awful lot of strain on MR.

[1:02:27] Hansen, back I just think

[1:02:29] there's a lot to manage their

[1:02:30] and to have a work order in a

[1:02:31] system that's more than 30

[1:02:37] days old. It could be

[1:02:38] staffing. It could simply just

[1:02:41] be staffing. And then there's

[1:02:41] also their systems out there

[1:02:44] that can put critical, not

[1:02:46] critical can be done over the

[1:02:48] summer can be done during

[1:02:50] Christmas break. So there's

[1:02:51] there's raise their systems

[1:02:53] out there. Big system and I

[1:02:58] would not necessarily. Should

[1:03:00] the people saw system to

[1:03:03] manage our maintenance system?

[1:03:05] I just think big mistake to do

[1:03:09] that. I mean, I they were pan

[1:03:10] 80, 90 $100,000 a month to

[1:03:11] maintain that system. To tell

[1:03:15] us. What we already know. I

[1:03:19] just think it's it's crazy.

[1:03:19] And to MISTER Tatum was point

[1:03:26] on that dollar amount. If that

[1:03:27] dollar amount was there that

[1:03:27] page front page was that

[1:03:35] MISTER 18? Yeah. A total of

[1:03:39] 77 Million. 2 actual was.

[1:03:41] Expenditures. 100 that was

[1:03:43] allocated 126 Million. I mean,

[1:03:49] that's huge number. That's

[1:03:50] been reserved in our county

[1:03:51] system. I'm guessing that, you

[1:03:52] know, okay, what are we going

[1:03:54] to do it all that? It's

[1:03:55] alright ma. So you don't have

[1:03:58] to answer I'm just saying.

[1:04:03] That's putting. Money in

[1:04:03] holding money in the system

[1:04:07] that you MAY because we don't

[1:04:08] know what whoever is putting

[1:04:08] network or doesn't really know

[1:04:10] what expense of that repair

[1:04:14] will be. Who's putting the

[1:04:15] number on repair order? I

[1:04:19] don't know but I just think

[1:04:21] that I would encourage this

[1:04:23] for just say we need to hold

[1:04:25] overhaul of this maintenance

[1:04:27] system and we need to put

[1:04:28] people in place that are

[1:04:30] experts in that field, whether

[1:04:32] it's buildings,

[1:04:40] transportation. Technology,

[1:04:41] which pretty much. I think we

[1:04:44] have a great handle on

[1:04:44] technology, but even sports

[1:04:48] field. You know that you guess

[1:04:50] in regular maintenance guy out

[1:04:50] there to fix a tennis court

[1:04:54] when it don't even know what

[1:04:55] are the painting lines are

[1:04:56] supposed to be or how high the

[1:04:56] net is supposed to be? You

[1:04:58] wouldn't send somebody out

[1:05:01] there that, you I'm just

[1:05:02] saying we need to have the

[1:05:03] right people in the right

[1:05:05] field in the right areas. And

[1:05:07] I just think we need to look

[1:05:08] at it. Try to find Just want

[1:05:11] to know what other districts

[1:05:12] use. Question I'm going to

[1:05:15] start asking conferences about

[1:05:16] what kind of system they're

[1:05:20] using for their maintenance.

[1:05:21] But I harborsun against trying

[1:05:23] to incorporate papal stop. We

[1:05:25] need to separate that out.

[1:05:26] People stopped is for people

[1:05:28] and the things that we do

[1:05:30] there. I don't think we need

[1:05:32] to have anything else. Honest,

[1:05:32] just a minute. Just rain at a

[1:05:34] little more. But I do want to

[1:05:38] say. It's it's it's this is

[1:05:43] the time. This is the time now

[1:05:44] make those changes. Drastic

[1:05:49] changes to our system and our

[1:05:53] whole maintenance program.

[1:05:54] >> a look with yes, you can.

[1:05:57] Really agree with everything.

[1:05:58] I say everything you just

[1:06:01] said. I mean, I think we both

[1:06:02] agree in principle. I don't a

[1:06:03] group all the detail that

[1:06:04] think about. But I agree in

[1:06:05] principle very much with

[1:06:09] phrase that and but I did want

[1:06:09] to clarify one point that I

[1:06:13] made earlier about. But I

[1:06:13] said, look, a different way of

[1:06:18] doing leadership. The people

[1:06:18] at senior levels instead of

[1:06:20] looking down into into the

[1:06:21] operational that I need to be

[1:06:22] looking up and now is what I

[1:06:23] like to say. Give an example

[1:06:26] of this. You know, I do these

[1:06:26] little food deliveries every

[1:06:30] week. And so one of our

[1:06:32] elementary schools for a year

[1:06:33] at the exit of one of our

[1:06:34] schools. There are potholes.

[1:06:39] Look for year and I would go

[1:06:40] over. Sure it might time to

[1:06:41] lock on the call, somebody you

[1:06:43] know, that and so for a year

[1:06:44] was like finally won that

[1:06:46] picture of him. And I Clarke

[1:06:49] and they were facts right? But

[1:06:51] the question is, was a sense

[1:06:52] of ownership within everybody

[1:06:54] all the way down from the

[1:06:54] janitor to the superintendent?

[1:06:57] You know why? Where they like

[1:06:57] that for a year and I go

[1:07:01] through a number of of

[1:07:03] anecdotes like that about the

[1:07:04] showed me the over the over

[1:07:04] the years. That number one,

[1:07:05] there isn't a sense of

[1:07:06] ownership. And number 2,

[1:07:07] there's are big process

[1:07:10] problems that we have and I'm

[1:07:15] not so sure that. And think

[1:07:18] about MR. Cho had to say is

[1:07:19] that part of the senior

[1:07:20] leaders dogs to see those kind

[1:07:21] of things like I've been

[1:07:24] pointing this stuff out for.

[1:07:25] For 3 or 4 years to various

[1:07:26] people, whether it's your

[1:07:27] other Superintendent, Doctor

[1:07:31] Rosen and the idea that when

[1:07:31] when exactly directors are

[1:07:33] driving around the schools and

[1:07:34] you're driving around the

[1:07:34] schools and even you're

[1:07:35] talking about those bills

[1:07:39] Roland, are you looking at? I

[1:07:40] know we're an education

[1:07:41] oriented organization, but we

[1:07:41] have a huge amount of

[1:07:42] infrastructure that's worth

[1:07:46] billions of dollars. And

[1:07:46] that's part of leadership to

[1:07:48] it's not just educating the

[1:07:49] kids and getting them out to

[1:07:50] become stadium to graduate

[1:07:52] from this and primary polls.

[1:07:53] And you're in the court that

[1:07:54] support the superintendent and

[1:07:58] that way. So and though you

[1:07:59] work hard, I've seen you work

[1:08:00] hard and every time I bring

[1:08:00] something your pension, you're

[1:08:03] on it. And you fix fix it. And

[1:08:04] we did a great job over

[1:08:07] Lakewood Ranch. But maybe

[1:08:07] somehow instilling a sense of

[1:08:08] ownership and the people that

[1:08:10] will help them bring things up

[1:08:11] maybe like I own this campus.

[1:08:14] This is my little girl. I want

[1:08:15] look nice and will help us.

[1:08:16] And then you being more

[1:08:18] focused. Or the senior leaders

[1:08:21] being more focused on not just

[1:08:23] people of the graduation line,

[1:08:24] but actually how was our

[1:08:25] infrastructure? How was it

[1:08:27] presented to the public? Are

[1:08:28] we going to increased expenses

[1:08:28] down the line because we're

[1:08:32] not. Taking care of being

[1:08:32] proactive, maintenance on a

[1:08:33] regular basis. And it sounds

[1:08:35] like from your experience that

[1:08:37] we need a lot of thinking over

[1:08:39] homes there to make it better

[1:08:40] for Hall. Thank Thank you.

[1:08:42] Development here.

[1:08:46] >> To dialogue off scent. I

[1:08:47] don't MISS A disagree with

[1:08:48] something you said, but we i

[1:08:49] just want to point out that we

[1:08:51] as a board. Have the ability

[1:08:57] in the control. And where we

[1:09:02] want the budget to move. So we

[1:09:03] up here can't complain to

[1:09:04] anybody else because we easily

[1:09:06] sit here and say.

[1:09:09] >> As we're going through

[1:09:12] >> we just finished our gosh.

[1:09:15] What are top 10 of budget?

[1:09:18] >> No. But with 2 general

[1:09:18] strategic plan.

[1:09:22] >> None on with with the We're

[1:09:23] going mark so we just were

[1:09:26] doing bargaining right? We sit

[1:09:27] here and I'm not gonna get

[1:09:30] obviously what I know. MR. Die

[1:09:31] maybe like yours MAY be

[1:09:31] perking. Like where you go

[1:09:32] with I could beat me details

[1:09:37] right? But

[1:09:38] >> we have the ability to to

[1:09:39] when the when team comes up

[1:09:40] with an idea of raises or this

[1:09:41] or that.

[1:09:43] >> We have the ability to say

[1:09:45] no, we want to do x, y z in

[1:09:46] that department and we want to

[1:09:47] hire more people im Peyton

[1:09:49] this and pay them that right?

[1:09:53] >> No, no. In bargaining know

[1:09:54] of. None of the unions are

[1:09:56] going to take. We don't want

[1:09:57] 5% raise. We'll take that too.

[1:10:01] So we have the ability.

[1:10:02] >> To say to the

[1:10:03] superintendent made it. So

[1:10:04] we've we're gonna go back and

[1:10:05] say this has been an issue and

[1:10:06] I'm not are there are any

[1:10:10] issues. But we have sat here

[1:10:10] too. It had not fix the

[1:10:14] problem, which is. My personal

[1:10:15] opinion. The pay you talk

[1:10:17] about experts agree with you,

[1:10:18] but that expert is not going

[1:10:22] to work in in public education

[1:10:25] for making. A number up

[1:10:26] $50,000 then go to to somebody

[1:10:27] else make 100 right? It's not

[1:10:27] gonna happen. We're not gonna

[1:10:31] find those people unless we as

[1:10:32] a board say to the

[1:10:34] superintendent to do to

[1:10:35] prevent it in the budget wife.

[1:10:37] Hey, we gotta increases. We

[1:10:38] did some what, couple years

[1:10:39] ago with the bus drivers,

[1:10:40] right technicians said you're

[1:10:41] like no, this is somewhere we

[1:10:43] want to tackle right? And we

[1:10:46] we got it done, right? I mean,

[1:10:48] so just a way to go when you

[1:10:50] high, right? But we that was a

[1:10:51] conscious effort from us as a

[1:10:53] board member bedbugs board

[1:10:55] members. So I think if we all

[1:10:55] are that agreement like that's

[1:10:59] something we've got.

[1:11:00] >> We've we've we is something

[1:11:02] we can control. Is that?

[1:11:04] >> And and maybe that helps

[1:11:07] this process right? Because I

[1:11:08] think that's that's a huge

[1:11:11] issue. Is we don't get people

[1:11:12] to fill these positions

[1:11:13] because we're not paying them

[1:11:16] enough. Because they go in the

[1:11:19] private sector and work right.

[1:11:19] We know these these voting fix

[1:11:22] our diesel. Buses because they

[1:11:24] work on our diesel buses. Very

[1:11:26] busy. They go off to somewhere

[1:11:30] and get paid double right. And

[1:11:32] I just I just want he did take

[1:11:35] some onus of this as well.

[1:11:38] That we if we want to, we have

[1:11:40] the ability to do some of the

[1:11:41] staff now. Hey, you're going

[1:11:44] to where you take from to give

[1:11:45] more 100% agree with that. I'm

[1:11:48] not saying it's easy, but I do

[1:11:50] think we could easily sit here

[1:11:51] and say some of this is on us

[1:11:54] because we do control. How we

[1:12:00] fill vacancies by what we pay

[1:12:02] I you. That's why.

[1:12:03] >> That's why I wanted to wait

[1:12:04] last because I knew I had a

[1:12:07] lot to say. That's why I'm

[1:12:10] saying to the board. We need

[1:12:14] to give direction. Just staff

[1:12:16] and just superintendent that

[1:12:17] we need to look for a total

[1:12:20] overhaul. That's going to

[1:12:21] support the people who are in

[1:12:24] place. To make those

[1:12:29] decisions. Because like I said

[1:12:30] before, and we have all have

[1:12:34] Senate. We focused on. This is

[1:12:36] a higher priority. Then this

[1:12:42] is so now we're here and to

[1:12:45] the audit. And appreciate

[1:12:45] every body and put from the

[1:12:48] Safe Act committee. And I have

[1:12:49] talked to remember about this,

[1:12:50] too. And this was one of the

[1:12:53] things that I had said. Well,

[1:12:56] actually. At a point where I

[1:12:57] want to make that

[1:12:59] recommendation that relook at

[1:12:59] a total overhaul of our

[1:13:03] maintenance systems and look

[1:13:04] at what that cost look at

[1:13:06] other districts. Look at

[1:13:07] other. It doesn't even have to

[1:13:10] be a district. Take a look at

[1:13:11] county among us. A look at a

[1:13:11] county so much and have

[1:13:14] problems to that. We can do

[1:13:16] better like MISTER Tatum said

[1:13:21] for organization such as and

[1:13:23] the experts that we have in

[1:13:24] place are are there. But I

[1:13:28] think we need better. And I've

[1:13:29] been more than happy to sit on

[1:13:30] that team to explain some of

[1:13:31] the processes that I work with

[1:13:33] because they were effective. I

[1:13:38] could tell you every asset how

[1:13:39] much it cost estimate can't

[1:13:44] how many hours? You throw the

[1:13:44] labor what you're putting into

[1:13:45] that asset as well. Not just

[1:13:49] the part. For hours, the labor

[1:13:50] to put that part on the part

[1:13:53] was $10. But it cost you 4

[1:13:56] hours labor. Put it on. That's

[1:13:59] still a cost of that asset. So

[1:14:00] that's how detailed we need to

[1:14:04] get. I don't know for on

[1:14:07] thinking. Probably not, but

[1:14:08] that's how the children got.

[1:14:11] Again, I don't think that

[1:14:12] people soft is the answer. I

[1:14:13] think it needs to be a whole

[1:14:14] separate system. I mean, we

[1:14:16] just need to migrate, adding

[1:14:19] on to that program, my pen.

[1:14:24] MADAM Yes.

[1:14:25] >> So appreciate all of pad

[1:14:27] and when we hear it. Thank

[1:14:27] you. And thank you to for

[1:14:29] being here as well. To listen

[1:14:31] to this. We knew that you

[1:14:34] would have feedback, which is

[1:14:35] why we have MISTER Henson and

[1:14:36] Regina in here sport and that

[1:14:40] we all hear this feedback and

[1:14:42] will absolutely bring back our

[1:14:44] improvement plan on these

[1:14:45] items and make sure that we

[1:14:48] communicate to wild weather.

[1:14:49] We find a new system looking

[1:14:51] at the organizational

[1:14:52] structure, all of the above to

[1:14:54] address what we see in the

[1:14:56] audit. And so we look forward

[1:14:56] to being able to bring that to

[1:15:00] you and you absolutely see

[1:15:01] improvements. And so we're

[1:15:02] excited about that

[1:15:03] possibility. I appreciate our

[1:15:07] salmon, MR. Daniel, we do we

[1:15:10] look at audit has a bad name.

[1:15:12] MAY be Rachel Sellers doesn't,

[1:15:16] but the rest of

[1:15:16] >> That we appreciated. It is

[1:15:19] an opportunity for us to see

[1:15:19] our systems and see where

[1:15:21] there might be holes from

[1:15:23] someone who isn't living in

[1:15:24] the system.

[1:15:25] >> then we can make those

[1:15:28] improvements. And so although

[1:15:31] it can be a painful process at

[1:15:32] times the end result of a bit,

[1:15:32] we'll be able to better serve

[1:15:33] our schools. And that's what

[1:15:39] we're here to MR. Khan one k

[1:15:41] to my. So how do you live uk?

[1:15:42] >> We have just one final

[1:15:44] Chair Dr Person's Point is

[1:15:44] that in the management

[1:15:45] response in the audit report,

[1:15:48] it gives us a DECEMBER.

[1:15:50] >> 15th Target 8 look for

[1:15:51] these finding. So we've got a

[1:15:51] plan in place. We've got a

[1:15:52] mandate that the board can

[1:15:53] come back and say fit, what's

[1:15:56] on and what's not so good.

[1:15:57] >> I think gives us a target

[1:16:00] date as fan. Okay. And again,

[1:16:05] the U.S. Not to insult anybody

[1:16:05] that's been here and I'm

[1:16:08] working through this. Think

[1:16:09] our system news improved

[1:16:10] immune to put the right people

[1:16:12] in the right place. There's a

[1:16:14] lot to do out there and

[1:16:14] sometimes it might take

[1:16:15] another person to help do

[1:16:20] that. Are you finished with

[1:16:22] Don? Thank you so much. You're

[1:16:24] so welcome another. Heavy

[1:16:25] agenda. So we're gonna get out

[1:16:28] of your way, Well, appreciate

[1:16:36] all of you. It's on Thursday.

[1:16:37] Didn't realize now that MR.

[1:16:38] Kennedy all passes down

[1:16:41] because Okay. Yeah. Since

[1:16:44] you'll see her on Thursday be

[1:16:44] able 10. So the candidates

[1:16:49] okay. All right. So will shift

[1:16:51] around and get people in place

[1:16:51] here because the next item is

[1:16:56] 4.1 Which is our investment

[1:17:00] report for fiscal year 2026.

[1:17:03] So we will be bringing up

[1:17:14] experts that the seat.

[1:17:19] Michelle, you introduce the

[1:17:20] people you have with you, that

[1:17:27] would great still good

[1:17:29] morning. Want to introduce our

[1:17:30] team from deep blue. These are

[1:17:34] our

[1:17:35] >> The investment team that

[1:17:36] helps with our investments

[1:17:41] that we have with the Florida

[1:17:46] today is a dominant Chris,

[1:17:47] this to 5 and always get that

[1:17:51] messed up? John Scott Super

[1:17:52] easy. So anyhow, turn this

[1:17:53] annual investment report over

[1:17:56] to them. Wonderful.

[1:17:57] >> Well, good morning, MADAM

[1:17:59] Chair board members want

[1:17:59] intended. Thank you for having

[1:18:04] us here today. As Rita

[1:18:04] mentioned before, you is a

[1:18:06] report start everyone, the

[1:18:08] annual per fully report. I

[1:18:10] know why you're ready.

[1:18:11] Probably running behind on

[1:18:13] time. So make we out of the

[1:18:15] high levels. Talk a little bit

[1:18:16] about what's going on with the

[1:18:16] economy and then we'll get

[1:18:22] into your portfolio. So start

[1:18:23] going to page really peach 2,

[1:18:24] 3, and 4 is the economic

[1:18:28] update. You know, this is from

[1:18:30] from last month, a kind of

[1:18:30] talk a little bit about what

[1:18:33] sort of happened sense. But as

[1:18:33] you all know, probably at the

[1:18:37] beginning of the year, you

[1:18:38] know, the inflation that start

[1:18:40] to come down. The expectation

[1:18:41] was in the market that we're

[1:18:42] going to see a couple of rate

[1:18:45] cuts this year, right? All

[1:18:45] that changed at the end of

[1:18:47] FEBRUARY, beginning of MARCH

[1:18:48] with the with the Iran

[1:18:51] conflict. We saw a spike

[1:18:52] energy prices. It's like to

[1:18:54] research is inflation rate.

[1:18:56] And so since that time, really

[1:18:58] the the rate cuts have been

[1:18:58] off the table. As you we had a

[1:19:01] new fed chair, started over

[1:19:03] the last couple meetings.

[1:19:06] Rates have green unchanged,

[1:19:07] another fit. Your spoke last

[1:19:08] week at the Jackson speech

[1:19:12] that he did and one of the

[1:19:12] things that he's mentioned,

[1:19:15] he's been very consistent

[1:19:16] about that. He's got to bring

[1:19:17] inflation down right now. We

[1:19:20] know the cpi numbers around

[1:19:21] 3.5%, the core cpi, which

[1:19:22] strips out food and energy

[1:19:24] still around 2 and a half

[1:19:26] percent. The Fed would like to

[1:19:28] see inflation down around 2%.

[1:19:30] He's very much committed. I'm

[1:19:31] making inflation come down.

[1:19:33] So. The last couple of days

[1:19:37] the market sold off because

[1:19:38] the expectations that rates

[1:19:42] are going actually go up.

[1:19:43] Right now. The next meeting,

[1:19:44] SEPTEMBER, the probability of

[1:19:47] a rate increase is around 60%.

[1:19:48] And towards the end of the

[1:19:50] year in DECEMBER. Right now,

[1:19:52] the market is pricing in a 90%

[1:19:53] chance there were going to see

[1:19:54] rates go up a quarter percent

[1:19:55] or more. By the end of the

[1:20:01] year. So One of the things

[1:20:01] that we say that Mark is

[1:20:02] always wrong, That is really

[1:20:04] the one that rises. A but but

[1:20:05] the reality is that right now

[1:20:09] rates are higher and they were

[1:20:12] because because of because of

[1:20:13] inflation, okay. So as we move

[1:20:14] into the end of the year, one

[1:20:15] of the things I mean, what

[1:20:17] does that really mean for you?

[1:20:19] All really rates are staying

[1:20:20] higher, which for you both

[1:20:23] very well for your portfolios.

[1:20:23] Your portfolios are very

[1:20:24] sensitive to interest rates.

[1:20:26] And right now, you know,

[1:20:29] you're earning somewhere

[1:20:31] around 3.94% of your portfolio

[1:20:31] and expect the unit continue

[1:20:32] to see that least through the

[1:20:33] end of the year. And certainly

[1:20:36] do the rest next year. So for

[1:20:38] the next for your fiscal year,

[1:20:39] coming up, probably going to

[1:20:41] see similar type of interest

[1:20:43] earnings if you as you seen

[1:20:46] this year because of weren't

[1:20:47] worry. Felicia Nisan, we

[1:20:47] expect rates to stay for that

[1:20:49] for the next years. So okay,

[1:20:51] any questions about the about

[1:20:56] sort of the the Fed or the

[1:20:57] economy, interest rates. Glad

[1:21:00] to answer any questions. I

[1:21:01] just say that you to chain

[1:21:03] year.

[1:21:04] >> Kerr is what you're going

[1:21:08] on. A page. And then the 30

[1:21:11] year forced the night.

[1:21:12] >> Those are just certain to

[1:21:13] give you an idea of

[1:21:14] longer-term inflation.

[1:21:15] Obviously, your portfolios are

[1:21:16] vested very short, continuing

[1:21:19] a year and a half or less

[1:21:20] that, sir, to give you sort of

[1:21:22] a picture, what's happening

[1:21:23] with inflation longer term and

[1:21:25] a lot of folks always talk

[1:21:25] about their their their

[1:21:27] mortgages, right and rates

[1:21:29] coming down. Those are the

[1:21:29] expectation. If you notice

[1:21:31] mortgage rates have gone up

[1:21:33] just because of the

[1:21:34] expectation longer term that

[1:21:35] we're going to continue to see

[1:21:36] this sort of level of

[1:21:38] inflation less things start to

[1:21:40] change. I mean, one of the

[1:21:42] things that's continue drive

[1:21:42] inflation is we've had a very

[1:21:43] strong labor market, even

[1:21:46] though we had negative rate

[1:21:49] negative job number last month

[1:21:50] were still at 4.1

[1:21:51] unemployment. So that that

[1:21:52] that the employment people who

[1:21:57] are working spending money and

[1:21:58] so that so that that's because

[1:22:00] continue to put pressure on

[1:22:01] inflation longer-term. So

[1:22:01] we'll see what happens of

[1:22:06] obviously over the next. Next

[1:22:08] few months, inflation numbers

[1:22:08] come in. So I'm going to

[1:22:11] different Saint Yeah, yeah.

[1:22:12] Any other options might she

[1:22:19] has someone here, MR. Tatum.

[1:22:20] >> talking economics. Always

[1:22:21] been curious and through

[1:22:22] speaking about mortgage rates

[1:22:23] stuff like that, there's not

[1:22:27] some enterprising. Finance

[1:22:27] corporation, a bank or

[1:22:28] something that says they were

[1:22:32] going to. We're going

[1:22:34] mortgages at like 4%. And we

[1:22:35] know will make a smaller

[1:22:36] margin. We're gonna make our

[1:22:37] money because we're going to

[1:22:39] undercut all the people that

[1:22:42] are giving mortgages at 6, 7%.

[1:22:42] What is must be some reason

[1:22:45] that doesn't make financial

[1:22:45] sense. But help manage and

[1:22:46] like I had 100 billion dollars

[1:22:50] go out and Morgan is up 4%

[1:22:50] undercut everybody else make

[1:22:51] my profit on more mortgages

[1:22:55] with smaller margin.

[1:22:56] >> Well, you know what? The

[1:22:58] typical the works bank right

[1:22:59] there. They're they're they're

[1:23:00] taken safety. They taking your

[1:23:01] money and then won outright.

[1:23:06] If have to pay you some 1, 4%.

[1:23:08] Most of that us all, you know,

[1:23:10] fdic charges and things like

[1:23:11] that and they can't get

[1:23:13] mortgage for print, right? And

[1:23:15] then the other option. Other

[1:23:17] thing is, mortgage rates are

[1:23:20] also driven by your credit

[1:23:20] right of a person. So you want

[1:23:22] to give someone to 4% mortgage

[1:23:24] if that person's credit risk

[1:23:25] is a lot higher. So they're

[1:23:26] doing a lot of things that

[1:23:27] plane to mortgages. Honestly,

[1:23:29] I'm not a mortgage broker. I

[1:23:33] don't the only those things we

[1:23:36] we buy mortgages sometimes for

[1:23:37] clients in their portfolios.

[1:23:38] More like, you know, Jamie

[1:23:39] Mayes and Fannie Mae sort

[1:23:41] government mortgage

[1:23:43] securities. But from that

[1:23:44] standpoint, I can tell you,

[1:23:46] but from from the side of the

[1:23:47] bank's, that's what I would

[1:23:48] think You know, by the way, a

[1:23:50] bank wouldn't do that.

[1:23:51] >> you get that the pay me a

[1:23:53] certain rate and my CDs in my

[1:23:55] savings account that I put

[1:23:56] money in the bank so they can

[1:23:57] take and go get the mortgage.

[1:23:58] And don't you know, they make

[1:23:59] money on the spread, right?

[1:24:00] What? They're what they're

[1:24:01] paying out versus what they're

[1:24:04] loaning out, too. So.

[1:24:06] >> Look up one from the sun to

[1:24:11] any grants. I'll turn to Page

[1:24:11] 5 will get into the to the

[1:24:12] nitty-gritty of your

[1:24:14] investment here. This is your

[1:24:16] investment summary.

[1:24:18] >> So at 6 JUNE 30 2026,

[1:24:19] you're in the fiscal year.

[1:24:20] Your total investments were

[1:24:26] about 605 0.5 million. Okay.

[1:24:26] At the top. There is your

[1:24:30] operating account. Those your

[1:24:31] balances in different

[1:24:32] investment pools. Those total

[1:24:36] about 307.2 million. And then

[1:24:39] the remaining 298.3 million

[1:24:40] was different investments in

[1:24:41] bond. Proceeds accounts that

[1:24:45] you have okay. So all in all

[1:24:46] your your investments. Total.

[1:24:48] About 605 million and down

[1:24:51] below. You can see that.

[1:24:52] Keeping in line with the state

[1:24:54] state statues of safety,

[1:24:56] liquidity. You can see down

[1:24:58] below the ratings of all your

[1:24:59] investments. All very high

[1:25:03] rated best triple a remember

[1:25:05] policy say safety liquidity

[1:25:07] first right? And then and then

[1:25:10] returns. This shows you that

[1:25:10] all your investments are very

[1:25:14] high rated. These are all all

[1:25:14] these pools are very highly

[1:25:15] liquid. So that when you do

[1:25:16] need the money, it is it is

[1:25:18] they're available for you to

[1:25:19] he used for whatever it needs.

[1:25:22] You have okay.

[1:25:26] >> I think having go ahead.

[1:25:26] >> so here on Page 5, this is

[1:25:31] an interesting case where so

[1:25:32] this is money that we have in

[1:25:34] school system has investments

[1:25:35] and some of them are 80 days.

[1:25:37] Some of them are 438 with

[1:25:41] them. 53 51 days. So. I'm

[1:25:44] trying to understand what kind

[1:25:48] what kind of money that is. My

[1:25:50] view, the sellers who can MAY

[1:25:51] and 2. So does this make money

[1:25:52] that comes in from the state

[1:25:53] or from the milit? And we're

[1:25:57] holding it up a future bills.

[1:25:58] But where are holding it? We

[1:26:00] put it somewhere. And so we

[1:26:02] know that there's a bill that

[1:26:05] needs to be paid with certain

[1:26:05] amount of money in 80 We've

[1:26:07] got 80 days pay it. And so we

[1:26:07] think that 56.5 million and we

[1:26:10] put it in. A 90 day c d or

[1:26:12] something or and helping

[1:26:15] understand how to these

[1:26:16] average maturity days get

[1:26:17] decided and then what kind of

[1:26:21] money? Comes in and the to be

[1:26:24] put into investments.

[1:26:26] >> all these investments, your

[1:26:27] local government investment

[1:26:29] pools the rise in their states

[1:26:31] that these pools, invest money

[1:26:32] outright because it's not just

[1:26:33] you and disposes other

[1:26:34] investors that pool their

[1:26:38] money together and investing.

[1:26:39] So on average these portfolios

[1:26:40] when average maturity, that

[1:26:42] sort of about how far out the

[1:26:43] invest the money have retrieve

[1:26:48] those funds. Now, all of these

[1:26:50] art are like I mentioned daily

[1:26:51] liquid. So you can access the

[1:26:51] money and any of these pools

[1:26:54] pretty much same day night. So

[1:26:55] that just basically gives you

[1:26:57] an idea how far out who goes

[1:26:58] the what you have to think

[1:27:01] about is the further out the

[1:27:05] maturity of a pool. The more

[1:27:05] risky becomes when there's

[1:27:06] change interest rate. So as

[1:27:08] you can see, everything very,

[1:27:10] very short. You have a small

[1:27:12] amount that's in a foreign 30

[1:27:13] days out. That's even even not

[1:27:15] that long. It's little bit

[1:27:16] over a year, right? So in

[1:27:17] reality, what just what this

[1:27:19] shows you is that you're

[1:27:21] invested in in very liquid

[1:27:22] investments. Are there going

[1:27:24] to be there when you need

[1:27:27] them?

[1:27:27] >> And so when the state sends

[1:27:28] us, for instance, rfp you that

[1:27:32] will come in. If you haven't

[1:27:34] noticed by now, I know ask

[1:27:34] question come in one big chunk

[1:27:35] or does it get? We didn't

[1:27:41] like. 25% every every fiscal

[1:27:43] quarter. For year. Fte money.

[1:27:44] I I only know this stuff

[1:27:45] because I was finance.

[1:27:46] Director of passes.

[1:27:49] >> going to I can speak to

[1:27:50] this. Also would I would defer

[1:27:52] to Rachel, but been there act.

[1:27:53] You have to bet money actually

[1:27:57] comes to twice a month once a

[1:27:57] month bi-monthly get sent to

[1:28:00] you by the state. What what?

[1:28:04] What some of the bigger funds

[1:28:05] that come in as your property

[1:28:06] taxes right those are the ones

[1:28:07] that come into NOVEMBER.

[1:28:09] DECEMBER, JANUARY 19. Was per

[1:28:11] cent of that money comes in.

[1:28:14] And so that's the money that

[1:28:16] take. An invested pick year

[1:28:16] after the money. Probably use

[1:28:18] it right away. If you need,

[1:28:21] you need for your liquidity.

[1:28:22] but your your mileage is

[1:28:23] really your big money that

[1:28:24] comes wants and needs that.

[1:28:25] That's they come in. We work

[1:28:28] with the staff and say, ok,

[1:28:29] when are you going to need

[1:28:31] this money and we invested

[1:28:32] Corley what with making more

[1:28:33] sense as big chunk of money

[1:28:36] love come from taxes.

[1:28:37] >> spend it during the year.

[1:28:43] Yeah, but rather just sticking

[1:28:44] it in a that you know, if you

[1:28:44] have any, know, you're not

[1:28:45] going to get, you're not going

[1:28:46] much right. So somebody sit

[1:28:49] down table. Can invest this

[1:28:51] much for this long before we

[1:28:51] need it and we can invest that

[1:28:52] much for that long before. We

[1:28:57] not tell you get these the

[1:28:57] charity, mix the and the

[1:28:58] scenes are a little bit

[1:28:59] different because bond

[1:29:01] proceeds have specific draw

[1:29:03] schedule when when it when it

[1:29:05] bonds issued, there's a draw

[1:29:06] schedule the show's more or

[1:29:07] less when the money's going to

[1:29:08] be needed with that is also

[1:29:08] invested in.

[1:29:11] >> Based on and that dry

[1:29:13] >> okay, great. Thank you very

[1:29:13] much. It's very welcome, MR.

[1:29:15] Kennedy, thank you. Frizzell

[1:29:18] gentleman. Welcome back. They

[1:29:22] say her annual I had quite

[1:29:22] German and a little bit. I

[1:29:23] want to just talk connect back

[1:29:24] to that. And the Texans,

[1:29:27] especially suspicion of one

[1:29:28] 0nd on our on our Florida, if

[1:29:32] it cash for, we've got on Page

[1:29:34] 5, we've got the fair value of

[1:29:38] 56.5 million just assuming

[1:29:38] would say we did just looking

[1:29:40] at the trend of our tax

[1:29:42] anticipation note, let's say

[1:29:45] we 40 million for the tax and

[1:29:47] anticipation note, could we

[1:29:48] rely savings if we just

[1:29:49] instead of borrowing that

[1:29:51] 40 million has a? That act as

[1:29:54] a tan. Could we just take that

[1:29:58] money out of this cash pool?

[1:30:01] And with the cost basically a

[1:30:02] wash or that I would I'll

[1:30:04] defer that he lost revenue.

[1:30:05] Then true to your financial

[1:30:06] adviser who's here.

[1:30:10] >> But that will be giving a

[1:30:11] presentation about that hands.

[1:30:14] I will table that question. We

[1:30:15] can certainly tell you what

[1:30:15] you can invest in that, but

[1:30:18] they'll be able to give you

[1:30:19] more more information. Enough.

[1:30:20] Fair as to why you would you

[1:30:20] want to do that here. Okay.

[1:30:25] Sounds Thank I do want to for

[1:30:28] the moment, too, and the other

[1:30:28] questions with respect to the

[1:30:35] investment summer. Thank Next

[1:30:38] page is page Six's your

[1:30:39] portfolio statistics you're

[1:30:40] earning so hears you can see

[1:30:44] that. If you look at the

[1:30:45] bottom page, a total change in

[1:30:47] value, which is your interest

[1:31:15] very good. Very good year for

[1:31:19] the for the school. I'll open

[1:31:20] it up to 20 questions with

[1:31:26] respect. We've I think I have

[1:31:28] MISTER Tatum, MR. MISTER

[1:31:29] Kennedy, We I'm gonna and

[1:31:30] clicking click it again. When

[1:31:34] okay show it's done. Okay. I

[1:31:35] have a MISTER I have mister

[1:31:38] ago. Yet to question.

[1:31:39] >> they're up by something

[1:31:39] that I think and about

[1:31:44] investments is that. We're

[1:31:45] allowed look to invest that

[1:31:46] type of money that we've been

[1:31:49] talking about already tax

[1:31:50] receipts and things you and

[1:31:52] stuff like that. That comes

[1:31:52] in.

[1:31:53] >> What we're not allow, we

[1:31:54] have a limited amount, a

[1:31:55] little bit ability to invest

[1:31:56] money that would bar. Is that

[1:31:58] correct? What's the term that

[1:32:00] you use when when your bar,

[1:32:03] when we invest our money.

[1:32:06] >> Our but right there we go

[1:32:07] south is any is any arbitrage

[1:32:09] included in this or is this

[1:32:10] straight?

[1:32:11] >> So this, you know, we just

[1:32:13] basically handle your

[1:32:14] investments and we try to get

[1:32:15] you the best rate that we can

[1:32:16] get you There is a calculation

[1:32:16] that you are. But r#

[1:32:16] #

[1:32:19] . From

[1:32:22] does for you certain times of

[1:32:23] the year. They just basically

[1:32:24] got calculates. How much did

[1:32:27] you earn versus versus how

[1:32:28] much are you allowed to earn?

[1:32:29] Right? And the difference if

[1:32:30] you earn more that you are

[1:32:32] supposed to, you simply have

[1:32:35] to got to the irs you know

[1:32:37] they obviously don't want you

[1:32:39] peak money. That's tax exempt

[1:32:41] in and make money right?

[1:32:41] >> So you're so you're not

[1:32:46] managing. Our our our money

[1:32:47] that we you're not managing

[1:32:48] investment of money that we

[1:32:50] borrowed. There's another.

[1:32:52] >> we do manage that money for

[1:32:53] uk and but we managed to try

[1:32:55] to get you the best rate they

[1:32:59] we can. And those investments.

[1:33:00] What I'm saying is the

[1:33:01] arbitrage part is is a

[1:33:01] separate calculation that

[1:33:04] another firm does.

[1:33:05] >> You management but another

[1:33:07] humanity. But another firm as

[1:33:08] the calculation I collation of

[1:33:10] the arbitrage. Okay. So we

[1:33:13] manage the investments to make

[1:33:14] sure that you get the best

[1:33:17] rates and you get the best

[1:33:17] earned income somebody else.

[1:33:20] Make sure that we don't get a

[1:33:21] right.

[1:33:22] >> someone think that this

[1:33:23] have to actually pay

[1:33:23] something.

[1:33:25] >> All That's all it takes MR.

[1:33:29] Came back to you. Oh, no, I'm

[1:33:30] good. I'm your good answer. My

[1:33:35] question.

[1:33:35] >> Before du Peak 7, it just

[1:33:39] shows you how year, you know,

[1:33:39] picture sure you need

[1:33:40] percentages in each one. What

[1:33:43] I like to do is move or to add

[1:33:44] to the compliance page because

[1:33:46] it's very important. This is

[1:33:46] on Page 8. Your asset

[1:33:48] allocation compliance. Us.

[1:33:49] This is basically comes out of

[1:33:50] your investment policy

[1:33:52] statement. It really shows

[1:33:53] you, you know how much you can

[1:33:54] invest in these different

[1:33:58] types of investments. And to

[1:34:00] make sure that fighting within

[1:34:02] your investment policy, you

[1:34:05] can see the column in

[1:34:06] compliance has yes's down line

[1:34:08] there, which means your

[1:34:10] investments currently do not

[1:34:10] exceed any of your maximum

[1:34:14] allowable policy limits. So so

[1:34:15] we're in compliance. You're in

[1:34:16] compliance with your

[1:34:16] investment policy of very

[1:34:20] important. Okay. So you don't

[1:34:21] invest with us governmental

[1:34:23] agencies.

[1:34:25] >> I just to see that that we

[1:34:27] don't have anything in there.

[1:34:29] I'm on currently. Currently

[1:34:31] you're investing most. The

[1:34:31] investment pools, Florida

[1:34:32] prime and rise money in the

[1:34:33] bank. Got to see that. You

[1:34:36] need Ryan That's a compliment.

[1:34:40] That's moment. Thank So so

[1:34:41] from from an asset allocation

[1:34:43] standpoint, you're you're in

[1:34:45] compliance it. And then if you

[1:34:49] go to page 9, similarly your

[1:34:50] investment policy has certain

[1:34:51] limits so that if you do some

[1:34:54] points, invest in other

[1:34:55] securities, there are some

[1:34:56] limits make sure that you

[1:34:57] don't overly concentrate.

[1:34:59] Anyone type of investment. So

[1:35:00] even from from looking at was

[1:35:03] that, for example, your

[1:35:03] Florida, your investment

[1:35:05] government pulls, you're only

[1:35:07] allowed maximum of 50% in any

[1:35:10] one of those pools. You can

[1:35:13] none of them. You're over 18%.

[1:35:14] So you're well within also and

[1:35:15] all you this section year.

[1:35:18] Also, well, within your your

[1:35:18] policy limits with your

[1:35:21] investment policy. Kay.

[1:35:22] >> And now we have MISTER

[1:35:25] Tatum again.

[1:35:26] >> So who sets are these

[1:35:29] investment policies that

[1:35:30] talking about? You we've

[1:35:33] somehow we have work do you

[1:35:37] have part of your poor

[1:35:38] policies, part of the border,

[1:35:39] more is something prove we

[1:35:40] look at them on a regular

[1:35:41] basis and if there's any

[1:35:42] changes, we provide those

[1:35:43] changes to staff and they

[1:35:45] bring them to you for

[1:35:46] approval.

[1:35:47] >> So this is probably like on

[1:35:47] the consent agenda or

[1:35:48] something like that rather

[1:35:49] than work. Sellers and her

[1:35:52] people put them together and

[1:35:55] >> with a policy know we would

[1:35:56] have to follow the process

[1:35:57] have it any policy. So MR.

[1:36:00] Chapman actually has that. Has

[1:36:01] that task. If there is any

[1:36:04] change policy, you bring it

[1:36:05] forth an.

[1:36:05] >> never change since I've

[1:36:08] been on the board there that

[1:36:09] I've never encountered

[1:36:10] probably like or and or if

[1:36:16] there are

[1:36:17] >> a state statute pass a b,

[1:36:18] what update that policy as far

[1:36:20] as bringing it directly to the

[1:36:21] board? I don't think we've

[1:36:23] ever done that. That I can

[1:36:23] remember.

[1:36:25] >> I'm not aware of any time

[1:36:28] recent policy has been. Then

[1:36:31] changed in relation to this.

[1:36:32] >> that I would want to change

[1:36:33] it because I'm not an expert

[1:36:33] in the field you said your

[1:36:34] policy like, wow, I didn't

[1:36:40] know. We had but now I know

[1:36:40] information, but we certainly

[1:36:41] review the policy. And if

[1:36:42] there's any changes we

[1:36:44] provided to staff and

[1:36:47] >> I would rely on you guys

[1:36:48] tell you know what, what? Good

[1:36:48] ideas on the Thank you. That's

[1:36:49] all

[1:36:55] >> film. Here's what's

[1:36:56] wondering, because, you know,

[1:36:57] we always talk about what

[1:36:59] bucket we can take. What many

[1:37:00] from right? We can use it for

[1:37:00] this, but we can't use it for

[1:37:01] that. And this is for building

[1:37:02] and this is first. Tyler is

[1:37:05] another. With with this. These

[1:37:06] investments are do they come

[1:37:07] from certain buckets and

[1:37:09] therefore must go back to

[1:37:09] certain buckets or in the

[1:37:12] general? I mean, how does how

[1:37:13] do we know what we can and

[1:37:14] cannot spend that these funds

[1:37:22] on? To Because this is a lot

[1:37:25] of money floating around here

[1:37:26] in So I'm like, where does the

[1:37:29] solo And when we back, 8.

[1:37:34] >> The bond proceeds sorry, 6

[1:37:36] slide the bomb proceeds of

[1:37:36] those are investments related

[1:37:41] to each of the cops. So there

[1:37:42] is a time frame when those

[1:37:46] particular items first got put

[1:37:50] in for investments, even the

[1:37:53] interests that is earned on

[1:37:54] those investments. Stay

[1:37:55] specific to that construction

[1:37:58] projects related to each cops.

[1:38:00] Okay. Upper half the

[1:38:01] investments would be where the

[1:38:06] rest of the districts funds

[1:38:08] for operations would be placed

[1:38:10] this includes all of the other

[1:38:14] funds. Besides what you hear

[1:38:16] about and like the capital.

[1:38:17] We've up here in the upper

[1:38:21] half. So now within those and

[1:38:23] we keep those investments,

[1:38:23] they're like that. But as far

[1:38:25] as the interest that earns and

[1:38:27] stays with those that will

[1:38:31] stay within the like and the

[1:38:33] general fund if there was ever

[1:38:34] anything that was related to

[1:38:35] any funds that came in

[1:38:39] specific for federal, that one

[1:38:40] is kept separately. If there's

[1:38:41] any interest earned on any

[1:38:44] type of investments related to

[1:38:48] and you have the grants, the

[1:38:49] federal grants that those dew

[1:38:50] Speights, they specific can go

[1:38:52] back to those. Okay. So.

[1:38:53] >> So then millage funds that

[1:38:56] are invested. Stay with

[1:38:58] mileage and such that's in

[1:38:59] that's in the general from

[1:39:02] general so so in investments

[1:39:04] related to that that we record

[1:39:06] and put that in our general

[1:39:07] fund in case, I just want make

[1:39:08] it clear that we can't take

[1:39:09] money from the bond proceeds

[1:39:11] and then use that for

[1:39:12] salaries, correct? Yeah. To

[1:39:15] get her to replace attacks in

[1:39:16] first patient I think it's

[1:39:16] important that the public

[1:39:19] understand that that with.

[1:39:20] With these the this interest

[1:39:22] that we weren't. We can't just

[1:39:23] you spend it really knowing

[1:39:25] where we want right? So just

[1:39:27] just make sure that that's

[1:39:28] clear for anybody who's paying

[1:39:36] attention today. That was

[1:39:37] really all the comments with

[1:39:40] respect to the investments.

[1:39:41] >> The rest are just year.

[1:39:41] Your investment compliance for

[1:39:46] the year. Year bond proceeds.

[1:39:47] But those are very straight

[1:39:48] forward. If you you can just

[1:39:49] if you have any questions

[1:39:53] really shows how year it's

[1:39:54] just a repercussion of the

[1:39:55] previous speeches. You where

[1:39:58] your you're different. Cops

[1:39:59] are invested using the at the

[1:40:01] are all within the compliance

[1:40:03] of their investment party

[1:40:05] convention policy. The reason

[1:40:06] these are separated is each

[1:40:11] cops does have a specific

[1:40:11] investment policy. It's

[1:40:14] written to the bond These

[1:40:15] investing policies are set

[1:40:15] based on what the allowable

[1:40:17] investments are within each of

[1:40:20] those bond documents so like I

[1:40:22] said, a straight forward, I

[1:40:26] just basically everything is

[1:40:27] in compliance. I know the

[1:40:29] thing there's any questions.

[1:40:31] I'll just open it That

[1:40:32] question. So meaning that

[1:40:36] every cough and that we.

[1:40:36] >> Took out those investments

[1:40:40] are specifically to. The

[1:40:43] projects that we got the cops

[1:40:45] funding Correct. So not show

[1:40:47] correct. Okay. So I kinda

[1:40:49] answers. Part of that

[1:40:55] investment part. This is a

[1:40:55] great presentation of really

[1:40:56] appreciate all the work that

[1:40:57] you put into that and and out

[1:41:02] there making interest, you

[1:41:04] might say on the money Re

[1:41:05] borrowed is basically without

[1:41:07] it. So I appreciate it board.

[1:41:08] You have any other questions

[1:41:12] for this. Thank you for your

[1:41:17] time. Very Also board members.

[1:41:19] So, you good clearing q you so

[1:41:23] much. I do want and our agenda

[1:41:27] little brat and bring out.

[1:41:38] to go Rob legislative

[1:41:40] priorities. Are you? Alright

[1:41:41] with that to that before lined

[1:41:42] up that way, they can not that

[1:41:44] way won't. But we them mean,

[1:41:46] right? We still have that,

[1:41:46] too. But

[1:41:47] >> don't even know how long

[1:41:49] that's going to take.

[1:41:51] >> This probably here as well.

[1:41:54] I think we before lunch. Hurts

[1:41:58] if we can, yeah, I don't mind

[1:41:59] doing a late lunch. I just

[1:41:59] want sure that the board's

[1:42:01] aware that we're done much as

[1:42:05] we can. It's a sport I'm

[1:42:11] going. One Go ahead.

[1:42:12] >> So we are modifying and we

[1:42:14] are. I'm your number 4 point

[1:42:20] for. Which it removes up to 3.

[1:42:25] This is our 26 27 legislative

[1:42:30] priorities. And we have with

[1:42:30] our consulting Sunrise

[1:42:33] Consulting Daniel Thomas,

[1:42:37] along with MISTER Chapman. To

[1:42:39] talk to us about that. And

[1:42:39] board members should have a

[1:42:42] hand out of. We're going to

[1:42:44] and maybe.

[1:42:52] Thank you. Your network. Good

[1:42:55] morning.

[1:42:57] >> We this is our annual time

[1:43:00] where we get together with our

[1:43:02] friends, Shawn Foster and Dr

[1:43:03] Daniel Thomas from Sunrise

[1:43:07] Consulting who I've been here

[1:43:08] for 7 years. So I think I've

[1:43:10] been working with Sunrise

[1:43:10] Consulting for 7 years, I

[1:43:15] think, and they probably bit

[1:43:18] more been our consultant for

[1:43:19] longer. Every year I've been

[1:43:22] Sean and his team have

[1:43:24] delivered on every one of our

[1:43:25] appropriation requests. And

[1:43:25] that happened again last year

[1:43:29] were. The team worked very

[1:43:33] hard and secured $750,000 from

[1:43:34] the last legislative session

[1:43:38] to go to our new. So for us or

[1:43:44] for north of the river.

[1:43:46] Incredible work that's being

[1:43:47] done by Sunrise Consulting.

[1:43:49] And then also we gave them a

[1:43:53] huge task, which was to change

[1:43:57] the law. It's a a very

[1:43:59] difficult task, obviously to

[1:44:01] do. They did that and they

[1:44:05] saved us to 2.5 million

[1:44:07] dollars by changing the way

[1:44:07] tax collector letter to the

[1:44:12] commission. So really a great

[1:44:13] team really great friends

[1:44:16] here, Manatee County. But I'm

[1:44:18] gonna and it off here to Dr

[1:44:18] Thomas to lead us through some

[1:44:21] some sites here. So thank you.

[1:44:24] >> Thank you. Thank you so

[1:44:25] much. Good morning. Chair

[1:44:26] board members, Doctor Breslin.

[1:44:30] Nice to see all of you. Very

[1:44:31] pleased with how the

[1:44:34] legislative session went for

[1:44:37] Manatee County schools. Little

[1:44:39] bit of a lift it, but we were

[1:44:44] able to get those dollars and,

[1:44:44] you know, really because of

[1:44:47] the leadership that you had

[1:44:47] within the Legislature helped

[1:44:51] us a lot when it comes to that

[1:44:57] policy change. I had multiple

[1:45:00] conversations with Senator

[1:45:01] Boyd and Representative

[1:45:03] Robinson and their staffs to

[1:45:04] to get that done. So

[1:45:08] definitely want to make sure I

[1:45:09] give credit there because it

[1:45:10] helped tremendously that

[1:45:15] manatee has those 2

[1:45:16] individuals in the positions

[1:45:17] of leadership that they did in

[1:45:21] order for us to really, really

[1:45:21] get that.

[1:45:25] >> They just say that she's

[1:45:27] being very humble on this. She

[1:45:29] on. I don't think the

[1:45:29] representative one of answer,

[1:45:31] his phone, daca to all he was

[1:45:34] on or that much. I was here.

[1:45:37] And so you did a tremendous

[1:45:38] job that only going to that,

[1:45:39] but also bring it to

[1:45:39] leadership because, as you

[1:45:40] know, these type of decisions

[1:45:42] don't happen and avoid the

[1:45:43] happened. Leadership. She was

[1:45:44] in Senator Boyd's office quite

[1:45:47] of quite a bit and also in the

[1:45:47] House. And so thank you for

[1:45:49] your diligence on that.

[1:45:50] >> Making that happen. Thank

[1:45:53] you.

[1:45:54] >> so just very quickly, just

[1:45:55] to get us started, you know, a

[1:45:57] lot of times we kind of talk

[1:45:58] about or at some of you MAY

[1:46:00] reach out to you know, to how

[1:46:01] much do we need to worry about

[1:46:03] this particular bill and there

[1:46:04] are plenty of times when I

[1:46:04] tell you. Yeah, I don't think

[1:46:07] need to worry about this bill.

[1:46:08] And this is why you can see

[1:46:11] over 1900 bills were filed. We

[1:46:15] only had 237 that actually

[1:46:16] passed. That is lower than

[1:46:16] usual. But that still gives

[1:46:20] you an idea as to you the

[1:46:20] percentage of things that

[1:46:22] actually passed. And we did

[1:46:24] have 18 or 8 bills vetoed by

[1:46:24] the governor and one of them.

[1:46:26] We're going to talk about and

[1:46:29] in just a little bit.

[1:46:29] >> To the one of the things

[1:46:33] session was so unique because

[1:46:34] they had almost one 3rd of

[1:46:37] those bills were filed. 72

[1:46:37] hours before session started.

[1:46:38] We've already gone through 5

[1:46:39] weeks of committee meetings

[1:46:41] with bills are heard and we

[1:46:42] knew right then that this was

[1:46:43] going to be a very slow

[1:46:44] session. So about a 3rd of the

[1:46:47] bills were filed. We get into

[1:46:48] week one and 2 these bills

[1:46:49] having been heard in

[1:46:50] committee. And that's why

[1:46:51] we're saying back with us in

[1:46:51] these bills are dead at the

[1:46:55] heard in committee. So it was

[1:46:56] done purposely the speaker of

[1:46:56] the House purposely wanted to

[1:46:57] make this a session are very

[1:47:00] few bills passed and got to

[1:47:01] the governor and and it was

[1:47:02] done in that manner and it

[1:47:06] ended up in that manner.

[1:47:08] >> because you MAY have heard

[1:47:09] reference before. If things

[1:47:13] don't get heard in there first

[1:47:14] committee by really week 3, I

[1:47:16] mean, sometimes we can see

[1:47:19] week 4. I mean, those bills

[1:47:21] are dead because those House

[1:47:22] subcommittees are also going

[1:47:23] to stop meeting pretty much

[1:47:25] after week for maybe week 5.

[1:47:27] What also took quite a bit of

[1:47:31] time was not only the regular

[1:47:34] 60 day session, but we also

[1:47:39] had 3 special sessions

[1:47:40] >> Its it seems never But we

[1:47:41] had.

[1:47:44] >> Now to another one being

[1:47:45] threatened. Yes, as yesterday,

[1:47:46] the governor has even saying

[1:47:47] he's try to get the new

[1:47:47] speaker, the bring them back

[1:47:51] on health care and ai.

[1:47:52] >> I write exactly so that

[1:47:56] first special session that we

[1:47:57] had was on congressional

[1:47:57] redistricting, which they

[1:48:01] actually did complete, but was

[1:48:03] also originally intended for

[1:48:06] medical freedom and ai the

[1:48:09] speaker of the House then was

[1:48:10] not interested in hearing the

[1:48:12] medical freedom. An ai bill

[1:48:14] during regular session,

[1:48:16] Nevermind special session. And

[1:48:16] so it was only congressional

[1:48:17] redistricting that move

[1:48:20] forward. The speaker has since

[1:48:20] resigned to take a new

[1:48:27] position. And and so now there

[1:48:28] is technically a new speaker

[1:48:29] of the House for these last

[1:48:30] several months. And so to

[1:48:32] John's point, the governor did

[1:48:34] bring out maybe another

[1:48:35] special session to actually

[1:48:38] get those 2 items done. So

[1:48:40] we'll see what happens. We, of

[1:48:42] course, and have the budget

[1:48:43] that went into a special

[1:48:43] session also because they were

[1:48:45] not able to complete the

[1:48:47] budget process during regular

[1:48:50] session and the property tax

[1:48:50] special session, which of

[1:48:53] course, has led us to

[1:48:54] amendment 3 that we will see

[1:48:58] on the ballot in NOVEMBER.

[1:48:58] >> And end of this, we're

[1:48:59] going to be little bit about

[1:49:00] information, some polling at

[1:49:01] some numbers that you MAY

[1:49:04] happy with. Don't talk about

[1:49:06] state budget. I will. Again,

[1:49:07] we kind of put this into

[1:49:09] different Governor actually

[1:49:10] went higher than last year's

[1:49:11] budget was at 115 Billion. He

[1:49:14] had a proposal. One, 17. We

[1:49:15] generally tell folks to not

[1:49:16] worry about what's in the

[1:49:17] governor's budget. Sometimes

[1:49:18] you want to be in the

[1:49:18] governor's budget. But at the

[1:49:21] end, the legislature doesn't

[1:49:21] look at They put their own the

[1:49:25] House and the Senate. You see

[1:49:25] the House proposal is one 13.

[1:49:26] The Senate was one 15. That's

[1:49:27] where the consternation was

[1:49:30] that I would say what's a few

[1:49:32] billion amongst friends with

[1:49:33] this out? Well, it didn't get

[1:49:36] worked out during It took some

[1:49:38] time afterwards. The final

[1:49:39] agreement and I to give you

[1:49:39] this. The final agreement came

[1:49:40] in at one 14. There's a one 70

[1:49:44] number that's in the budget.

[1:49:44] That's actually on a news

[1:49:46] dollars. If you did not

[1:49:47] complete a project, you didn't

[1:49:48] do some things. You actually

[1:49:49] put it into the next year's

[1:49:51] budget. So that's why that one

[1:49:51] seventeens in there. But we

[1:49:54] actually came in lower the

[1:49:55] last year's budget. That was a

[1:49:58] plan because they saw some of

[1:50:00] the fiscally constraints that

[1:50:01] we're gonna coming in. Also

[1:50:01] give you a little bit of that

[1:50:02] update at the end of what the

[1:50:05] Revenue estimating conference.

[1:50:06] >> So you're saying that what

[1:50:07] they didn't use a rolling over

[1:50:08] so the role its summit, some

[1:50:11] of it is. It could be a

[1:50:12] lawsuit of money came in. Some

[1:50:14] of the could be somebody

[1:50:15] didn't finish a 30 million

[1:50:16] dollar building. Some of that

[1:50:18] could be a $700,000 purchase.

[1:50:19] When you're giving money from

[1:50:19] the legislature, as you all

[1:50:21] know, you're giving certain

[1:50:23] time periods.

[1:50:23] >> And those time periods

[1:50:24] always meant. We asked to roll

[1:50:25] it back into the called back

[1:50:27] of the budget items and that

[1:50:31] does inflate it. I'll talk

[1:50:32] about this real quick and I

[1:50:33] like the market want you to

[1:50:33] really see where the flip has

[1:50:35] been in the budget in 2 items

[1:50:37] yet. So we have a general

[1:50:38] revenues, 50 billion dollars.

[1:50:40] If you look on the left, why

[1:50:41] is that significant? Because

[1:50:42] most folks think that we have

[1:50:46] this huge budget. We do. But

[1:50:47] the majority of it really is

[1:50:47] passed through dollars like

[1:50:48] you're getting from federal

[1:50:50] government and that we're

[1:50:51] getting from other trust

[1:50:52] funds. And so you've seen that

[1:50:53] grow and a short period,

[1:50:55] almost 50% more. But the flip

[1:50:56] has been, as you can also see

[1:50:59] in the health care and then

[1:51:00] now being pre k through 12

[1:51:01] education up to percent. I

[1:51:05] always like a pointing that

[1:51:06] out. That's when they say like

[1:51:07] we're going to have a tough

[1:51:07] times. We're gonna have a

[1:51:08] billion dollars. Maybe less

[1:51:10] next year, a billion dollars

[1:51:11] doesn't sound much at 118, but

[1:51:12] it does when you really look

[1:51:15] at it at the 52, that's that's

[1:51:16] the number where they really

[1:51:17] look at saying we're going to

[1:51:18] have a billion dollars less

[1:51:21] coming in.

[1:51:22] >> So I just want to touch on

[1:51:24] a couple of the key policy

[1:51:28] issues and changes that we

[1:51:30] saw. Obviously besides the big

[1:51:32] policy change that we saw that

[1:51:32] in particular directly

[1:51:36] affected manatee and a couple

[1:51:37] of our regarding your your

[1:51:38] mileage and being able to to

[1:51:46] keep that fee. Senate Bill,

[1:51:47] 182 made a couple of changes

[1:51:48] that I wanted to make sure you

[1:51:53] are aware of the first is that

[1:51:54] there's a new teacher

[1:51:58] mentoring on option for any

[1:52:01] dnf schools. This is also the

[1:52:03] bill got a lot of cross

[1:52:04] regarding cursive writing. So

[1:52:07] this is the bill that we saw.

[1:52:10] The cursive writing the added

[1:52:11] in with demonstrating

[1:52:14] proficiency by grade 5. We're

[1:52:15] still waiting to hear what

[1:52:17] exactly proficiency looks

[1:52:18] like. It did ask some of those

[1:52:20] questions as to what exactly

[1:52:23] it's very hard to determine

[1:52:24] proficiency with something

[1:52:25] like handwriting still waiting

[1:52:25] on that from d o e and what

[1:52:29] that's going to look like. And

[1:52:30] there were also some

[1:52:30] additional protections that

[1:52:34] were added for and students

[1:52:36] who are in charter schools

[1:52:38] before can be dismissed from a

[1:52:39] charter school. They had it

[1:52:42] gave them some additional

[1:52:43] protections that to allow them

[1:52:46] to be able to complete a 9

[1:52:48] weeks or a semester, depending

[1:52:52] on the circumstances.

[1:52:53] >> It's Daniel always gets

[1:52:54] very nervous when the bill

[1:52:56] starts off with the words

[1:52:58] education. Yes, and you can

[1:52:59] fill it in with about

[1:53:02] anything. Side yeah.

[1:53:03] >> He what he will actually

[1:53:03] the the team actually hears me

[1:53:07] like. Yell out loud in the

[1:53:09] office like when those

[1:53:09] one-third of the bills were

[1:53:11] filed in the last 72 hours,

[1:53:14] how many times I yelled

[1:53:15] because it was just another

[1:53:16] bill that was titled

[1:53:17] Education. That makes me

[1:53:21] nervous. This one not titled

[1:53:24] Education is of

[1:53:25] extracurricular activities.

[1:53:26] And I know that this one in

[1:53:30] particular has been the

[1:53:30] attention of on board members

[1:53:32] showed in particular.

[1:53:33] >> And we've talked about it

[1:53:35] quite a bit.

[1:53:36] >> Of that. This is the bill

[1:53:40] that allows.

[1:53:42] >> For school boards to be

[1:53:45] able to implement a policy

[1:53:46] regarding coaches compensation

[1:53:49] and allows boosters for 2

[1:53:53] funds coaching compensation.

[1:53:54] Does it mean that you have to

[1:53:58] create a policy around it? No.

[1:54:03] And if you choose to want to

[1:54:08] allow the booster funding to

[1:54:09] go toward coaches the funding

[1:54:12] of coaches and coaches,

[1:54:13] compensation.

[1:54:13] >> Then it does give you the

[1:54:17] ability to be able to create

[1:54:18] board policy.

[1:54:19] >> So it is unique to what

[1:54:22] would work for manatee. And

[1:54:23] that was something that we

[1:54:25] worked really h#

[1:54:25] #

[1:54:25] o#

[1:54:25] because

[1:54:27] we do obviously recognize we

[1:54:27] have 67 districts and the

[1:54:30] state. No one looks like

[1:54:32] another. And it's really

[1:54:33] important for you all to be

[1:54:36] able to have some control over

[1:54:37] what that looks like and what

[1:54:41] that is going to look like on

[1:54:43] for you. It also allows for

[1:54:46] the opportunity to be able to

[1:54:48] charge a fee for students who

[1:54:50] are not part of the school

[1:54:50] district that are going to be

[1:54:52] participating in

[1:54:53] extracurricular activities. It

[1:54:54] was always want to these kind

[1:54:58] of gray areas because nothing

[1:54:58] said that you couldn't. But

[1:55:00] nothing said that you could.

[1:55:02] So we had school districts

[1:55:05] that we're hoping that they

[1:55:06] were going to get their hands

[1:55:07] slapped. We had others who are

[1:55:10] saying we really want from

[1:55:10] direction on this. And so that

[1:55:12] was given to you when it comes

[1:55:17] to this as well. Another one

[1:55:17] that I talked to quite a few

[1:55:22] of us out quite a bit. Was the

[1:55:23] school district's bill, which

[1:55:24] was really known as the school

[1:55:28] board member Bill of Rights.

[1:55:30] This you now have your own

[1:55:32] section of statute which take

[1:55:35] that, however, you would like

[1:55:35] can make some of us nervous.

[1:55:39] But that's That's ok.

[1:55:42] >> it does guarantee all of

[1:55:43] you individually timely access

[1:55:46] to district documents. So if

[1:55:50] you request something or

[1:55:51] something is typically sent

[1:55:52] you one of you because it

[1:55:54] pertains to one of your

[1:55:54] schools.

[1:55:58] >> You all now.

[1:55:59] >> are to receive that

[1:56:00] particular document. It is not

[1:56:03] just one of you. So I know for

[1:56:06] some of our districts

[1:56:07] depending on how you typically

[1:56:10] done those processes that can

[1:56:11] change your internal process

[1:56:13] as to what that's going to

[1:56:15] look like. We have other

[1:56:17] districts that are still like

[1:56:18] working through what that's

[1:56:19] going to look like for some of

[1:56:20] our smaller districts. Not a

[1:56:22] big change for some of our

[1:56:23] more medium and larger

[1:56:25] districts could be a really

[1:56:27] big change so they wanted not

[1:56:27] just actually e-mail, but it

[1:56:30] could go to a portal where

[1:56:31] they have.

[1:56:31] >> could as long as they they

[1:56:32] just have to be able to all

[1:56:36] have access to it. So, yeah,

[1:56:38] it does not have to come to.

[1:56:39] It doesn't specify that has to

[1:56:40] come to your email or be

[1:56:44] handed to you or anything like

[1:56:46] that. Portal situation could

[1:56:49] absolutely be be set up. But

[1:56:51] it does require that you do

[1:56:53] have access access to all of

[1:56:54] it. Those district documents

[1:56:58] and and also to require that

[1:57:00] all of your board meeting

[1:57:01] attachments be kept as public

[1:57:03] record, which again. Many

[1:57:07] districts were already doing.

[1:57:08] Sometimes we feel like we need

[1:57:11] to clarify things.

[1:57:17] >> Another education bill this

[1:57:18] mine did create a uniform

[1:57:21] weighted gpa system.

[1:57:22] >> I didn't know that it

[1:57:23] wasn't consistent across the

[1:57:25] state until we started talking

[1:57:26] about it last year. Thought it

[1:57:27] was consistent across state.

[1:57:31] Apparently it was not. So, you

[1:57:34] know, we all learn new things

[1:57:36] every time. And it does did

[1:57:39] also provide some additional

[1:57:42] flexibilities for graduation

[1:57:42] requirements around like pe.

[1:57:43] So it on clarified some of

[1:57:44] those pe changes that have

[1:57:47] been made a couple of years

[1:57:48] back and it clarified some of

[1:57:51] that. It also caps the middle

[1:57:54] school grades Cape

[1:57:55] certificates. So it caps that

[1:58:00] to for middle school. So just

[1:58:00] something for you to be aware

[1:58:08] of. Athletics and public k 12

[1:58:10] schools different than the

[1:58:13] extracurricular bill this I

[1:58:16] now this is was commonly

[1:58:17] referred to in the news as the

[1:58:19] Teddy Bridgewater Act. For

[1:58:21] those of you who MAY not be

[1:58:22] familiar, former nfl

[1:58:24] quarterback went back to coach

[1:58:26] at one of the Miami High

[1:58:31] schools very successfully. But

[1:58:35] he was at times bringing in

[1:58:36] like ordering more food to be

[1:58:37] able to feed particular

[1:58:40] students.

[1:58:41] >> we're hungry. He was paying

[1:58:42] for Uber rides for some of his

[1:58:44] students to ensure that they

[1:58:46] were getting home safely after

[1:58:48] practice because of the

[1:58:48] neighborhoods on that they

[1:58:50] lifted and their surrounding

[1:58:54] areas and and this was in

[1:58:57] violation at the time of Fhs,

[1:58:59] a a and so he was let go of

[1:59:03] his coaching duties and the

[1:59:04] Legislature decided that with

[1:59:05] the intent and what he was

[1:59:08] really trying to do that some

[1:59:09] parameters need to be given.

[1:59:10] But this was something needed

[1:59:14] to be allowed. So and Fhs, a

[1:59:17] must authorize the coach

[1:59:21] support spending. The cap is

[1:59:23] $15,000 annually and it limits

[1:59:24] the spending authority to only

[1:59:28] a head coach. And there has to

[1:59:28] be parental consent for an

[1:59:31] okay. Have a question. MR.

[1:59:34] Kennedy

[1:59:35] >> to make sure I understand

[1:59:40] it so. A booster club can pay

[1:59:41] the head coach an unlimited

[1:59:42] amount of money if they can

[1:59:45] raise the money. But that

[1:59:45] coach can then only spent

[1:59:49] $15,000 on the team.

[1:59:51] >> is that the coach would

[1:59:53] have the ability to spend up

[1:59:54] to $15,000 of their own money

[1:59:58] money. 2 you're saying like

[2:00:00] their own money. Yeah. Would

[2:00:04] you say you're saying?

[2:00:04] >> they get boosters can give

[2:00:06] the coach and now the coaches

[2:00:09] got up to personal money. That

[2:00:10] is one supposed coach. It's

[2:00:12] now his or her money, correct?

[2:00:13] It is. But also to keep in

[2:00:14] mind that whatever, however,

[2:00:19] that

[2:00:20] >> however, the booster piece

[2:00:23] is set up is up to you and

[2:00:24] your policy that you chose

[2:00:26] choose to put in place. So you

[2:00:27] have the ability to put some

[2:00:32] parameters. In place around

[2:00:32] that.

[2:00:34] >> But this is. This is

[2:00:37] separate. Interesting.

[2:00:37] >> There's there's nothing

[2:00:41] about can the coach write in

[2:00:44] cursive?

[2:00:44] >> at work in or it's a

[2:00:46] proficiency like in? We read

[2:00:46] it because I want This. Came

[2:00:49] about. His Teddy Bridgewater.

[2:00:50] Obviously millions of dollars.

[2:00:55] You don't have That was that

[2:00:57] he was using on on his

[2:00:57] athletes, right? But all the

[2:01:00] the coach, it.

[2:01:03] >> x, y z all the way I can a

[2:01:05] like Kids McDonald. I can't

[2:01:07] get Uber rights. And so there

[2:01:12] was. Especially down in Miami.

[2:01:13] And this is read it

[2:01:14] dissipated. And so he was

[2:01:17] actually that go bump Weiner.

[2:01:23] And then game that. It came

[2:01:29] back with about to the bottom.

[2:01:34] >> Point booster clubs giving.

[2:01:36] Donating to their coach or

[2:01:38] whatever. To your point Hawk,

[2:01:40] can if they give that the

[2:01:43] booster club raises money and

[2:01:44] they give it to a particular

[2:01:47] coach to use for that team.

[2:01:49] You're saying that really need

[2:01:49] to have a policy in place and

[2:01:53] they can only knows

[2:01:58] >> Now so policy is if you. If

[2:02:02] this board chooses to want to

[2:02:05] go down the road of

[2:02:06] potentially allowing boosters

[2:02:11] to be able to raise money for

[2:02:14] the purpose of paying coaches.

[2:02:16] This board had then has the

[2:02:19] ability to be able to create

[2:02:21] policy. That is specific for

[2:02:22] Manatee County schools as to

[2:02:25] what that looks to pay a

[2:02:25] coach, pay a coach. Not for

[2:02:27] this. This is separate.

[2:02:31] >> MR. I think so you're

[2:02:32] waiting and I agree with How

[2:02:34] do you stop that coach down

[2:02:35] now? They received $20,000

[2:02:35] from the street from

[2:02:37] implementing 15,000 of that

[2:02:38] upon their discretion of

[2:02:42] putting it towards students. I

[2:02:43] guess you could put it in your

[2:02:44] policy. I don't know if that's

[2:02:46] legal, but you that's enough

[2:02:46] you can spend your personal

[2:02:48] money for kids. I don't know

[2:02:49] how you would do that, right?

[2:02:52] So I'm we do see that's gonna

[2:02:53] be something where the

[2:02:53] legislature is probably going

[2:02:56] look at their this right? I'm

[2:02:59] sure Yeah. And from a board

[2:03:00] colleagues we few weeks ago

[2:03:03] got an e-mail from.

[2:03:04] >> Coaching advocate for what

[2:03:07] county he was from. He was

[2:03:08] dressed all of us. But and

[2:03:10] said a county or Clay County.

[2:03:12] One of the Florida counties

[2:03:13] already. So they also

[2:03:14] structure and was asking us to

[2:03:16] adopt some more so coaches can

[2:03:19] start getting paid some spots

[2:03:20] are.

[2:03:21] >> Only can the only county

[2:03:21] that I'm currently familiar

[2:03:27] with that has.

[2:03:28] >> Doesn't. That work is a

[2:03:30] county also in the Panhandle.

[2:03:33] I know a couple of others that

[2:03:34] have started conversations. I

[2:03:36] also know quite a few others

[2:03:38] that are not to the point of

[2:03:40] being ready to have those

[2:03:42] conversations. But Bay County

[2:03:43] is the one that I am familiar

[2:03:46] with that has already set this

[2:03:48] set up that piece in place.

[2:03:51] And I will say this, too.

[2:03:54] Makes sense that we see this

[2:03:57] start maybe in the panhandle

[2:04:02] because Senator Simon, who was

[2:04:03] behind the extracurricular

[2:04:04] activities, Bill, which is

[2:04:07] booster. Money to the coaches

[2:04:12] Bill. Big Football guy, former

[2:04:17] fsu Philadelphia Eagles

[2:04:17] football player. I was given

[2:04:23] hard time about that. Has

[2:04:25] coached himself and in his

[2:04:26] district, which is a good

[2:04:29] portion of the Panhandle,

[2:04:31] including Tallahassee, lost 2

[2:04:33] of his best high school

[2:04:36] football coaches in 2

[2:04:36] different counties. 2

[2:04:38] assistant coaching positions

[2:04:40] in Georgia because we're so

[2:04:41] close to that Georgia line.

[2:04:43] It's not a far drive because

[2:04:44] of how much more Georgia can

[2:04:48] pay their coaches. If that

[2:04:49] helps, you understand where

[2:04:51] the drive was coming from?

[2:04:55] >> No, I get it. I mean, if

[2:04:56] you know, student athletes now

[2:04:56] have name image likeness to

[2:04:58] Newswatch and the coaches to.

[2:05:04] >> I agree. I agree.

[2:05:05] >> School safety, most of the

[2:05:07] school safety Bill was really

[2:05:08] focused on post-secondary

[2:05:10] schools, our state colleges

[2:05:12] and universities, especially

[2:05:13] after the tragedy at fsu that

[2:05:18] happened the year before. The

[2:05:19] to peace is here for you. In

[2:05:20] particular, it does create a

[2:05:22] new crime for discharging a

[2:05:24] weapon within 1000 feet of us.

[2:05:30] Cool. So that is new and it

[2:05:32] does require that certain

[2:05:38] students have been under

[2:05:41] school safety or have

[2:05:43] receiving particular services

[2:05:46] have been receiving more

[2:05:50] supports, maybe for behavior

[2:05:51] or on.

[2:05:52] >> Things within that area. It

[2:05:53] and let's say they're in dual

[2:05:56] enrollment. It does require

[2:06:01] the sharing information to the

[2:06:02] state college or upon on

[2:06:05] colleges of enrollment that

[2:06:09] they were students who are

[2:06:10] receiving additional supports,

[2:06:12] maybe through guidance or on

[2:06:13] the school safety officer

[2:06:16] anything like that. So just

[2:06:19] wanted to make you aware of

[2:06:20] that. And then when it comes

[2:06:23] to policy, the last one

[2:06:24] sovereign immunity claims

[2:06:26] against the government, you

[2:06:28] all are probably familiar with

[2:06:28] the fact that we've been

[2:06:31] dealing with this for quite a

[2:06:33] while. This bill would have

[2:06:37] increased the caps. It was

[2:06:38] relatively small, increase of

[2:06:42] caps. It was still an increase

[2:06:45] caps, but it was more

[2:06:46] manageable than we had seen in

[2:06:47] previous iterations of bill

[2:06:49] not only this year, but the

[2:06:50] year before. However, the

[2:06:53] governor did veto the bill

[2:06:54] partially because he

[2:07:00] recognized. That with the

[2:07:01] conversation about amendment 3

[2:07:05] and potentially changes due to

[2:07:05] loss of property tax revenue.

[2:07:06] That now is not the time to

[2:07:09] increase the Caps.

[2:07:11] >> go to the next one. We kind

[2:07:14] of talked about that are done

[2:07:15] beginning.

[2:07:16] >> I have a couple of

[2:07:18] questions from the board. Yes,

[2:07:19] going East, MISTER Kennedy or

[2:07:19] removed an urgent as all

[2:07:21] right.

[2:07:22] >> So from the last line on

[2:07:23] the last comment you made

[2:07:24] about the sovereign immunity.

[2:07:27] >> Yes, would it be it?

[2:07:28] >> Putin quote, Heard through

[2:07:31] the grapevine that. Lawyers

[2:07:32] Guild of the bar who are are

[2:07:33] very big on this because

[2:07:36] >> All right. Over Can you

[2:07:39] give me the?

[2:07:41] >> The ethical argument for

[2:07:41] that other than Lors want to

[2:07:43] make more money. What's there?

[2:07:47] What's their take on? Why

[2:07:47] limit should be raised because

[2:07:53] the real amount was 2 Million.

[2:07:53] >> The reginal amount on the

[2:07:54] original high and was

[2:07:57] 1 Million.

[2:08:00] >> The caps haven't been

[2:08:01] increased in.

[2:08:04] >> I believe we're it 14 years

[2:08:05] at this point. Please don't

[2:08:06] hold me to the year number,

[2:08:06] but we're we're somewhere

[2:08:10] around in that range.

[2:08:11] >> and what else is still at

[2:08:13] the same price from?

[2:08:17] >> 14 years ago.

[2:08:17] >> has

[2:08:21] >> been part of the argument.

[2:08:21] >> Next is the process is what

[2:08:23] happens when they go beyond

[2:08:26] that. That ridiculous. Really

[2:08:28] have to file a claims bill

[2:08:29] that can sit there for 20 or

[2:08:29] 30 years and hire a lobbyist

[2:08:33] to get the money. And so with

[2:08:34] that part that, you know,

[2:08:35] looking at Consumer Price

[2:08:36] Index, what it was 14 years

[2:08:38] ago, part of the argument.

[2:08:39] >> And that's a big portion of

[2:08:40] why the legislature has been

[2:08:42] really big on it is because

[2:08:45] the any members of the

[2:08:49] Legislature do not feel that.

[2:08:52] They are the experts and the

[2:08:53] ones who should be caring and

[2:08:56] bringing these claims bills

[2:08:57] and asking the Legislature for

[2:08:57] some of the millions of

[2:09:04] dollars, even if it's.

[2:09:05] Justified in in like injuries

[2:09:05] that have been sustained and

[2:09:07] and those types of things. But

[2:09:10] they're just they're not

[2:09:10] comfortable with doing that.

[2:09:11] And so they're really looking

[2:09:15] to try to get away from

[2:09:19] process and they feel

[2:09:20] increasing the caps would help

[2:09:22] to reduce the number of claims

[2:09:25] bills, at least that's good.

[2:09:25] Figured there was some good

[2:09:29] some story behind

[2:09:30] >> thank you. You had the

[2:09:31] folks here just a few minutes

[2:09:31] Newsome updating your

[2:09:34] financings and I kind of

[2:09:34] leaned in on that because

[2:09:35] there's a lot what we've been

[2:09:36] hearing. We've heard I'm gonna

[2:09:36] give you the 12 months real

[2:09:40] quick when we came out of

[2:09:43] covid, the state of Florida

[2:09:44] was bringing in 500 to

[2:09:46] 1 billion dollars per month

[2:09:48] exceeding what was coming in

[2:09:49] our coffers. So use you say

[2:09:51] you're going 115 billion

[2:09:52] dollar budget. They had more

[2:09:54] money coming in every single

[2:09:55] month. We had almost

[2:09:56] 300 billion coming in even up

[2:10:00] into 2020. 24 and then 2025

[2:10:01] that changed. But we had a

[2:10:03] little bit of about 3 billion

[2:10:06] more coming to the 2025. 2026

[2:10:08] budget this year. Same thing

[2:10:09] next year. The here's the big

[2:10:11] difference. Looking ahead.

[2:10:12] Before they would start

[2:10:13] telling us we're going to have

[2:10:16] 5 to 6 billion next year

[2:10:17] world. They're expecting only

[2:10:17] 1 billion dollars more than

[2:10:20] what's in this year's budget.

[2:10:21] That's significant because I

[2:10:22] can tell you right now the

[2:10:23] insurance cost just for the

[2:10:25] employees are going to be just

[2:10:26] You guys see it. So that is a

[2:10:27] pretty. But the good part is

[2:10:30] it wasn't the 6 billion

[2:10:31] reduction and what they had

[2:10:33] predicted 12 months before. Me

[2:10:35] give you a cup of the

[2:10:35] indicators that are that are

[2:10:37] causing. He talked about the

[2:10:40] cpi index. Cpi index went up

[2:10:42] 0.1% Your unemployment had

[2:10:43] just went down one percent but

[2:10:44] were still higher than the

[2:10:45] national average. And the

[2:10:47] first time in Florida and 4 in

[2:10:49] 5 years, building permits are

[2:10:51] down one 3rd in the state of

[2:10:52] Florida. One 3rd of what they

[2:10:55] were 12 months ago. House

[2:10:55] prices. Realtors, you all know

[2:10:57] that are starting to slow

[2:10:59] down. But here's to really,

[2:11:01] really, really big indicators

[2:11:02] wonder stores the state of

[2:11:03] Florida does really well. We

[2:11:04] always talk about it that we

[2:11:05] don't have to have what, you

[2:11:07] know, an income tax because

[2:11:07] you have your tourism coming

[2:11:10] in from sales tax tourism was

[2:11:13] down for the first time in 14

[2:11:15] years in 2025, is greatest at

[2:11:15] was only down by about 20, you

[2:11:19] know. But as that more people

[2:11:20] are dying in the state of

[2:11:23] Florida than being born. And

[2:11:23] to the days of when we used to

[2:11:24] 1000 people are coming to

[2:11:25] Florida today are not

[2:11:27] happening. That is not

[2:11:29] happening. And everybody

[2:11:29] claiming they're the fastest

[2:11:30] county in the nation is not

[2:11:31] happening anymore either.

[2:11:33] There's only 2 counties and

[2:11:35] that top 21 of them, Sumter,

[2:11:35] the villages near the other

[2:11:37] one is Duval up there. And in

[2:11:39] Jacksonville. So indicators

[2:11:40] that we're seeing is what the

[2:11:41] legislature is saying is

[2:11:43] things are slowing down and

[2:11:44] they're going to be tough for

[2:11:46] its fortunate, not going to be

[2:11:47] reduction, but you're gonna

[2:11:48] have a billion dollars more,

[2:11:50] which is not whole lot. The

[2:11:50] state of Florida is one of the

[2:11:52] healthiest that they've ever

[2:11:53] been and for the reduction in

[2:11:55] their debt. Here's a way that

[2:11:56] they have paid down in the

[2:11:57] past 5 years and the money

[2:11:59] that they hadn't reserves.

[2:12:00] Fortunate thing with that is

[2:12:01] something happens. Other

[2:12:02] hurricane we can build a

[2:12:03] bridge like that. We needed to

[2:12:04] do quickly and wait for the

[2:12:06] states and the reimbursement.

[2:12:08] I just give you this news

[2:12:11] because it is good, but it's

[2:12:12] tempered. The Revenue

[2:12:13] estimating conference said

[2:12:13] we're giving you that that

[2:12:17] 1 billion dollars extra. But

[2:12:17] we're also showing you were

[2:12:18] also looking at the negative

[2:12:22] coming 2 to 3 years down.

[2:12:23] Times were okay. It's not as

[2:12:24] bad as as it was and I don't

[2:12:27] make it blew me. But it's

[2:12:28] going to be interesting 12

[2:12:29] months. And the last thing

[2:12:33] I'll say this is we go to the

[2:12:34] next one. I think that I'll

[2:12:35] talk about the the platform

[2:12:36] development. Real give you

[2:12:38] about. Let's go back amendment

[2:12:40] 3. Amendment 3 has been very,

[2:12:41] very interesting of. You MAY

[2:12:41] have just heard in the past 24

[2:12:43] hours, the governor said,

[2:12:43] well, I'm now going to do a

[2:12:46] little bit of getting out

[2:12:48] there pushing for it when I

[2:12:49] wasn't before because I didn't

[2:12:51] get everything I wanted. He

[2:12:54] didn't get the call to slush

[2:12:56] fund that airs and help

[2:12:58] counties, schools there. And

[2:13:00] of course, that the schools

[2:13:00] are not in there and he wasn't

[2:13:01] happy about it. But there's

[2:13:02] been 2 big bulls and you've

[2:13:02] heard about these numbers that

[2:13:03] the polling is showing that

[2:13:04] it's going to pass. Well, I

[2:13:08] say to you, you're going to

[2:13:09] see a reduction in your, you

[2:13:11] know, by 150 to 250, everybody

[2:13:12] says yes. But when they do the

[2:13:16] push pull and they say, are

[2:13:16] you okay with this? If you

[2:13:18] know that your libraries that

[2:13:20] your parks are going to be

[2:13:21] close to your have to close

[2:13:22] some libraries and that

[2:13:22] building of roads are

[2:13:23] repairing roads are going to

[2:13:27] take longer. That number drops

[2:13:29] dramatically. So the 2 things

[2:13:30] the right now you're looking

[2:13:31] at a possible there. And there

[2:13:32] was a lawsuit that said that

[2:13:33] needed to rewrite it, which

[2:13:34] they did. So it didn't sound

[2:13:35] like a political statement. So

[2:13:36] they had to rewrite the

[2:13:38] language. And the number 2

[2:13:40] that is being waited as this.

[2:13:41] There's a five-year provision

[2:13:41] saying that you come into the

[2:13:44] state of Florida and you can't

[2:13:45] get this benefit into you.

[2:13:47] Lived here for 5 years. There

[2:13:49] is no other thing allowed in

[2:13:49] the Constitution and the

[2:13:51] Constitution specifically says

[2:13:53] that they're not allow that to

[2:13:55] happen. The lawsuit is saying

[2:13:56] that they have to wait until

[2:13:57] it's implemented. Not with the

[2:13:57] way that it's written. So that

[2:14:00] would be now here's the

[2:14:01] negative, although do is say

[2:14:02] you're right, you don't have

[2:14:04] to wait 5 years happen

[2:14:05] automatically. That would make

[2:14:08] the impact even more from at

[2:14:11] it. So so I'll just say this.

[2:14:11] There's going to be some large

[2:14:12] groups coming out with funding

[2:14:15] in a position to get it. I

[2:14:16] understand the realtors are

[2:14:17] getting ready to put some

[2:14:17] money into a political action

[2:14:21] committee to support it I will

[2:14:22] say right now the voters have

[2:14:25] come back continuing the

[2:14:25] polling numbers, one such to

[2:14:29] put it down and see it under

[2:14:29] the 60%. And I'll leave you

[2:14:30] with this. Why middle of a

[2:14:32] confident that I think it will

[2:14:33] die because we voted against

[2:14:37] that 3 times since 2018 in

[2:14:39] 2018, the voters, the state of

[2:14:40] Florida voted down and giving

[2:14:44] themselves just $25,000 more

[2:14:44] in Twenty-twenty to remember

[2:14:45] the one that went to

[2:14:46] firefighters, teachers, law

[2:14:48] enforcement. We also voted

[2:14:51] that down and then right after

[2:14:52] that in 2022, still we voted

[2:14:53] down the one to set these poor

[2:14:54] folks who lost their homes and

[2:14:55] hurricanes. We were going to

[2:14:56] give them a deduction and we

[2:14:59] said no to that. Also. So the

[2:15:00] state of Florida has been in

[2:15:01] the know what it's come to

[2:15:04] some property tax exemptions.

[2:15:05] We'll see how that move

[2:15:05] forward. But I want to make

[2:15:07] sure we get and as more

[2:15:08] information comes forward and

[2:15:08] data on that, we'll share with

[2:15:11] you. Also.

[2:15:12] >> And then just to wrap up,

[2:15:13] just wanted to touch briefly

[2:15:18] on platform development as I'm

[2:15:19] sure you are aware that sba

[2:15:20] has opened up their

[2:15:23] opportunity to be able to

[2:15:24] submit platform items for the

[2:15:27] school Boards Association.

[2:15:31] Your consortium is working on

[2:15:32] putting their platform

[2:15:33] together and you'll have the

[2:15:35] opportunity to be able to

[2:15:37] bring up items there. And of

[2:15:40] course, I know that you all

[2:15:42] always put together your

[2:15:43] manatee specific platform on

[2:15:47] which we are always happy to

[2:15:48] take an advocate for. We got a

[2:15:50] couple of items last year. We

[2:15:53] have another one that was on

[2:15:54] there from last year that I

[2:15:56] have talked to rep Conor Lee

[2:15:57] and sounds like on. We'll be

[2:16:00] back as far as he's continuing

[2:16:00] to work on the a#

[2:16:00] #

[2:16:04] requirements. So I think we're

[2:16:05] going to get a little bit more

[2:16:07] movement on that this year.

[2:16:09] But just some things to think

[2:16:11] about are is there anything

[2:16:13] that the Legislature should

[2:16:14] preserve or avoid changing

[2:16:15] things that we want to

[2:16:19] protect? Things that we want

[2:16:20] them to change. What state

[2:16:22] requirements are creating

[2:16:26] challenges for you. Not only,

[2:16:28] you know, for many districts

[2:16:29] across the state, as you think

[2:16:30] about like and even the

[2:16:32] consortium. But are there

[2:16:34] specific things that are

[2:16:35] affecting manatee mean that

[2:16:37] that tax be was a perfect

[2:16:38] example last year and ended up

[2:16:39] affecting a couple of other

[2:16:43] district which also helped us.

[2:16:45] And in where do you need

[2:16:47] additional additional

[2:16:49] financial support? So some

[2:16:50] things to think about

[2:16:52] scholarship funding on

[2:16:52] transparency. That's going to

[2:16:53] be another big topic. We do

[2:16:56] have new leadership coming in

[2:16:57] that I'm hearing is going to

[2:16:59] be more open to having some of

[2:17:01] those conversations. The

[2:17:02] rising cost of school safety

[2:17:03] is another piece. And then

[2:17:05] again, that could also we

[2:17:07] could see that increase even

[2:17:11] more with amendment 3

[2:17:13] potential changes to sref

[2:17:13] requirements and also, of

[2:17:15] course, teacher and staff

[2:17:17] compensations. And then you

[2:17:18] can see it. The key dates to

[2:17:22] remember they are the first

[2:17:24] interim committee week is the

[2:17:25] week of NOVEMBER 30th. And

[2:17:28] then MARCH 2nd is the opening

[2:17:31] of the 30 day legislative

[2:17:33] session. And with that, happy

[2:17:34] to take any additional

[2:17:35] questions or on anything that

[2:17:40] we can help with felt. Just

[2:17:40] real quick. I have and I'm

[2:17:41] going to present to the board

[2:17:44] at next week's meeting.

[2:17:44] >> all got a copy of it at

[2:17:47] your board briefing. I created

[2:17:48] a report on impacts of

[2:17:51] amendment 3 in Manatee County,

[2:17:54] specifically to our school

[2:17:55] district. But I will then

[2:17:57] present to you report the

[2:17:58] board meeting on Tuesday.

[2:17:59] There was not time to add it

[2:18:02] into data. Today is really

[2:18:06] busy but short short version

[2:18:08] is impacts to the

[2:18:09] organization's nonprofit

[2:18:12] organizations that we partner

[2:18:13] with. And that also, you know,

[2:18:17] workout and the the field as

[2:18:18] it were that will be losing

[2:18:20] funding up to a 3rd of their

[2:18:23] funding through the children's

[2:18:24] mileage that county get

[2:18:24] through property taxes and

[2:18:27] then also the highly likely

[2:18:30] loss of school resource

[2:18:30] officers in county and school

[2:18:33] districts across the state. So

[2:18:34] I have that for you on

[2:18:38] Tuesday. And then if you would

[2:18:40] share that with us, I will as

[2:18:41] well. I am just waiting for

[2:18:44] one person to read it over and

[2:18:46] the county and to give me a

[2:18:46] thumbs up. And then it's it's

[2:18:51] ready to go so I will I will

[2:18:52] have that also for the board.

[2:18:54] I have been appointment to the

[2:18:55] fsb, legislative subcommittee.

[2:18:59] There's 2 dozen of on that

[2:18:59] legislative subcommittee from

[2:19:02] the from the 60 5 of us that

[2:19:06] are on the advocacy committee.

[2:19:07] And so if you look at the

[2:19:09] packet that they very kindly

[2:19:11] gave us, you will see on their

[2:19:14] page 2, the fsb, a platform

[2:19:17] development by this Friday.

[2:19:19] And if there's anything that

[2:19:21] we want to present a ad for

[2:19:22] the fsb, a legislative

[2:19:25] committee to consider, that's

[2:19:27] the deadline I will be in. And

[2:19:28] you know, that's also going to

[2:19:29] be in Tuesday's board meeting

[2:19:30] approval for travel for me to

[2:19:32] go to Tallahassee for OCTOBER

[2:19:36] 8th too, be part of a

[2:19:37] legislative subcommittee where

[2:19:38] we're going to discuss the

[2:19:39] platforms and create our

[2:19:41] proposal as well for the fsb,

[2:19:46] 8th. Platform. So that's what

[2:19:50] I'm up to. That's really it to

[2:19:51] front runner. Get you a quick

[2:19:55] update now. And I appreciate

[2:19:57] you all's involvement in this

[2:20:01] because policy change. Can

[2:20:01] have a lot longer impact than

[2:20:05] the $750,000.

[2:20:06] >> In our preparations for

[2:20:07] years and years. And so for

[2:20:08] you all to take that foresight

[2:20:10] and and bring it to our

[2:20:10] attention to help us fight for

[2:20:11] you would be very helpful.

[2:20:15] Thank you, MR. Chan. Thanks

[2:20:15] for being here. Was a good

[2:20:18] play. Good. You too.

[2:20:19] >> Along with what you're

[2:20:20] talking about, a limited

[2:20:24] funding that coming into the

[2:20:25] state. Tried to think what

[2:20:26] okay with that. But yeah, over

[2:20:27] the last couple years that we

[2:20:28] have a mentality more help us

[2:20:31] cut. Spending so that we don't

[2:20:32] have to have as much money

[2:20:35] instead of asking for more

[2:20:36] money because it just doesn't

[2:20:40] seem to be an appetite. And

[2:20:41] the governor and the state

[2:20:42] government to provide more

[2:20:43] funding. So that's why

[2:20:47] encourage us to really look at

[2:20:49] the s rep again as well a

[2:20:50] small part of stall. The

[2:20:52] report, these are ways kind of

[2:20:54] what we talked about earlier,

[2:20:55] right where you are here for

[2:20:55] the conversation about

[2:20:56] infrastructure maintenance.

[2:21:00] Well. We can speed up some of

[2:21:01] that stuff. If we have more

[2:21:02] money in our capital account

[2:21:03] and we can have more money in

[2:21:04] our capital account of

[2:21:06] daughter. Comply with all the

[2:21:08] rep requirement, you know, as

[2:21:08] well as if you remember even

[2:21:12] the gust, Ali report required

[2:21:14] us when we we have a

[2:21:15] development recall, entry

[2:21:16] here, early recruitment. We

[2:21:17] renovated that a couple years

[2:21:19] ago. We spent hundreds of

[2:21:23] hours on the report. Senate up

[2:21:24] to whoever only people aren't.

[2:21:25] The only remember that they

[2:21:28] come back and you've got it

[2:21:29] You got renovate a school for

[2:21:30] a couple $100,000. More than

[2:21:30] building a whole new schools.

[2:21:34] So guess I just encourage that

[2:21:36] that mentality help us cut and

[2:21:41] another it if I were king and

[2:21:41] this MAY a local makers this

[2:21:44] make it on our legislators.

[2:21:45] But is this year because it

[2:21:46] probably doesn't rise up

[2:21:49] behind level that I know that

[2:21:50] sellers has report provided me

[2:21:51] a report over the last couple

[2:21:55] years of the 3. Highest. There

[2:21:56] is where we have infant

[2:21:57] partially funded that way. And

[2:21:59] so think we're up to about

[2:22:00] 50 million dollars this year

[2:22:01] from the state and they fall

[2:22:04] in the area of transportation

[2:22:08] mental health requirements.

[2:22:11] What's the 3rd one? The

[2:22:12] security sick, security. I

[2:22:15] have a transportation is a big

[2:22:16] win for one we there are.

[2:22:17] There are students in this

[2:22:18] county that would transport

[2:22:20] 100 miles a out and back to

[2:22:21] school. And if we could

[2:22:21] distraught 10 mile circle

[2:22:22] around the school and say,

[2:22:25] well, inside 2 miles, you

[2:22:26] know, we're not going to get

[2:22:27] you, but we're also not going

[2:22:29] farther than 10 miles out to

[2:22:31] get I know there's some

[2:22:32] pushback against that. I've

[2:22:33] heard the argument that as

[2:22:34] well and kids will come to

[2:22:37] school. You know, I'm not I'm

[2:22:39] not responsible for getting

[2:22:42] kids to responsible for what?

[2:22:42] When they get to school like

[2:22:44] educating them, you know, but

[2:22:46] if parents, have some

[2:22:47] responsibility like just

[2:22:51] ridiculous. 700 miles a day to

[2:22:51] get kids out and back to

[2:22:52] school and that they want to

[2:22:55] live out in on a farm, the

[2:22:56] edge of the county because

[2:22:56] that lets do they want great

[2:22:59] but shouldn't forest the

[2:23:00] system then to have this very

[2:23:02] excessive transportation

[2:23:03] requirement throughout the

[2:23:04] coming at them. And those are

[2:23:05] just some ideas about, like I

[2:23:07] said, mentality being help us

[2:23:11] reduce our costs rather

[2:23:12] Continue asking more money

[2:23:15] because there doesn't seemed

[2:23:16] to be an appetite for that.

[2:23:17] And along with the bill of

[2:23:21] Rights and giving or write to

[2:23:22] us, if we can cut the s rep

[2:23:23] from the assault, a report

[2:23:24] that will give us a lot more

[2:23:26] local control over a budget.

[2:23:27] To move money, ports, things

[2:23:29] like maintenance and

[2:23:30] infrastructure and not have

[2:23:32] keep our school. Building and

[2:23:34] construction renovation costs

[2:23:36] high. And so thank you for

[2:23:42] Make those here. MR. Cho.

[2:23:43] >> Thank you all for Thank you

[2:23:46] for what you what you do. I

[2:23:46] know.

[2:23:47] >> were on the phone quite a

[2:23:53] during those months.

[2:23:54] >> I got actually takes a

[2:23:54] major this morning. These are

[2:23:55] reminders of their fundraiser.

[2:23:56] But yeah, that's where you

[2:23:58] anywhere.

[2:24:00] >> You working are we? This is

[2:24:01] kind of a general question for

[2:24:03] the board and were are are

[2:24:06] jumping into priorities right

[2:24:06] now today? Its an icy and they

[2:24:11] did. No, I just wondered it's

[2:24:13] just and just a general

[2:24:16] discussion, we need to create

[2:24:16] one New Albany whether that's

[2:24:22] before after lunch.

[2:24:22] >> But after.

[2:24:25] >> have one more presentation,

[2:24:27] got answer is that we are

[2:24:29] doing that today. We are want

[2:24:30] to talk about not finalize.

[2:24:31] Obviously where want to get

[2:24:32] our priorities right up. All

[2:24:35] right. Get ready for MR.

[2:24:35] Candidate, thank you all for

[2:24:38] your denim. Get them. Yeah, I

[2:24:39] I I just want to finish up

[2:24:40] with a couple observations and

[2:24:42] I want to.

[2:24:45] >> I would be careful want to

[2:24:46] advocate for a peer per

[2:24:46] policy. We're not supposed to

[2:24:49] be doing live to seek. So some

[2:24:51] is going to frame this in the

[2:24:52] form of a question to both of

[2:24:52] And I'm I'm coming back to

[2:24:56] amendment 3. There's there's 2

[2:24:57] Things Inc. I agree with you.

[2:24:59] Once people understand the

[2:25:01] impact support. Bottoms out,

[2:25:06] right? But I want to. Sure a

[2:25:07] couple thoughts. And you could

[2:25:08] just tell me whether you think

[2:25:10] I'm are just no comment.

[2:25:14] Whenever you 2 things. The

[2:25:16] Amendment, 3 plan essentially

[2:25:22] taxes. Second homes or

[2:25:22] Snowbird homes, homes that are

[2:25:23] not primary residences,

[2:25:27] correct? So it's not exactly

[2:25:27] what Mayor Mamdani did in New

[2:25:28] York City as soon as he became

[2:25:31] mayor. I'm not gonna tell 100%

[2:25:34] familiar with this plan, but I

[2:25:35] but you're telling me is

[2:25:36] probably accurate, but I don't

[2:25:38] I don't know for sure. Okay.

[2:25:39] Enough. And then the second

[2:25:45] point is. A yes vote.

[2:25:45] Essentially reduces public

[2:25:49] services. So a yes vote is a

[2:25:51] vote to defund the police

[2:25:52] that's going to be a message,

[2:25:53] right? That's going to be that

[2:25:54] you see in the Florida

[2:25:56] Sheriffs Association, Florida

[2:25:56] Chiefs Association. The

[2:25:58] firefighters have come out and

[2:25:59] what a lot of people I could

[2:26:00] just say this. I mean, how

[2:26:01] many years of you lived in

[2:26:04] your house, 12, you won't see

[2:26:06] the $150,000 deduction. You're

[2:26:09] already getting it. If you're

[2:26:10] a 20 years, you're most likely

[2:26:12] already at the 2.50, you're

[2:26:14] not going to get one 50 and

[2:26:15] another one 50 on top of it.

[2:26:16] So I I struck the

[2:26:16] conversation. People.

[2:26:19] >> How you live in your home?

[2:26:20] 7 years, ok? We're going to

[2:26:23] see a little bit a little. We

[2:26:23] already you're getting this

[2:26:24] mountain already getting or

[2:26:25] not getting one 50 on top. So

[2:26:26] I think just explaining that

[2:26:28] the people right off the bat,

[2:26:28] they're like, wow. So it's

[2:26:30] really going to be the people

[2:26:34] moving to Florida. We're going

[2:26:35] it and the runners who are

[2:26:35] going to get the greatest

[2:26:36] impact. Think about that. Why

[2:26:38] are the realtor supporting

[2:26:40] this? Because they know the

[2:26:40] people moving to the state

[2:26:42] would get the major benefit of

[2:26:45] this. Not just the renters.

[2:26:46] Not the people living there

[2:26:49] for 10 or 20 years. But that

[2:26:50] is yes, the defunding the

[2:26:54] police. Yes, Thank you. Thank

[2:26:58] you. MADAM Shawna ph clarify

[2:26:58] once then, if the amendment

[2:27:00] does pass, what happens next?

[2:27:01] Write that.

[2:27:02] >> They go into session and

[2:27:03] then they'll be in element.

[2:27:05] Great question. Every

[2:27:06] Constitution, actually the you

[2:27:08] know, there's nothing in the

[2:27:08] constitution that says they

[2:27:09] have to put language in the

[2:27:09] law to implement the

[2:27:13] Constitution. End this. Very

[2:27:14] interesting. Some cuts social

[2:27:14] movements have taken 2 to 3

[2:27:17] years actually implement. But

[2:27:18] legislature that is supposed

[2:27:21] to put into law to implement

[2:27:22] the constitutional amendment

[2:27:24] at the next session. And

[2:27:25] that's why you see things

[2:27:28] starting off in 2027. Course,

[2:27:29] you're already being assessed

[2:27:30] for your next one. Wouldn't

[2:27:32] really be a 2027. It would be

[2:27:33] the one after that. For your

[2:27:36] assessment on your home. And

[2:27:37] that that's probably when the

[2:27:40] lobbying really is going to

[2:27:43] have a little might be for be

[2:27:44] again. Have our constitution

[2:27:45] and then they could put. And

[2:27:47] that's why during session

[2:27:48] during session, I literally

[2:27:50] heard legislators saying to

[2:27:51] that the firefighters were

[2:27:53] there up there. Trust us.

[2:27:57] We'll take care. And the

[2:27:58] firefighter went back to him.

[2:27:59] Fire Chiefs Association that

[2:27:59] we've heard that before. And

[2:28:02] that promise was broken. Also.

[2:28:03] So they're telling the

[2:28:04] firefighters there. They were

[2:28:07] telling sheriffs, trust us.

[2:28:08] We'll make sure that you're,

[2:28:10] you know, made and or not. I

[2:28:10] don't see how they can do

[2:28:16] that.

[2:28:17] >> know, when most felt and

[2:28:19] then all do a closing.

[2:28:20] >> So what and just curious,

[2:28:24] what is the because, you know,

[2:28:26] Governor DeSantis is smart The

[2:28:29] people who are pushing this.

[2:28:30] Is the idea some I've been

[2:28:34] trying to think through Like

[2:28:34] you were talking about

[2:28:35] infrastructure and some of the

[2:28:36] things we're talking about

[2:28:37] here today, they must know

[2:28:38] that some of the stuff is

[2:28:39] going to take a hit. So but it

[2:28:42] the only rational. Idea that I

[2:28:46] can come up with is that the

[2:28:46] people up there truly believe

[2:28:48] that the people down here on

[2:28:49] local boards, whether they're

[2:28:51] county or school boards.

[2:28:53] >> We're just and the like

[2:28:54] drunken sailors, right? That's

[2:28:58] we are going to force you to

[2:28:59] curb your appetite for

[2:29:00] spending by jamming this down

[2:29:03] your throat and without really

[2:29:07] doing an analysis of yeah.

[2:29:09] Like in Manatee County, we for

[2:29:10] way behind on infrastructure

[2:29:11] is road as far as roads and

[2:29:12] stuff like going. This is just

[2:29:14] going but it's the But as

[2:29:17] farther behind. But so is that

[2:29:18] is that the mentality is like

[2:29:18] you guys are spending like

[2:29:22] drunken sailors and did the do

[2:29:22] its thing and you didn't get

[2:29:25] the picture. So now we're just

[2:29:26] you're going to do this and

[2:29:27] we're going to force you to be

[2:29:31] more efficient more is that

[2:29:32] it's it's interesting to go

[2:29:34] back 12 months earlier because

[2:29:34] it you're I think you all sit

[2:29:35] here and you make decisions

[2:29:37] with data and you make it with

[2:29:37] logic.

[2:29:38] >> So last year, the speaker

[2:29:40] of the House said before the

[2:29:41] session to session before

[2:29:44] before we do this, let me put

[2:29:45] money in the budget so we can

[2:29:46] do a study. And then when the

[2:29:48] data comes back next, next

[2:29:49] year, we can then make

[2:29:50] decisions on how we should do

[2:29:52] that. So he got the Senate to

[2:29:53] agree. And the governor veto

[2:29:57] that. To the speaker's point

[2:29:58] was this was exactly which is

[2:29:59] so you want make those

[2:30:01] decisions without the data.

[2:30:02] And I think it was 2 weeks

[2:30:03] later the governor's office

[2:30:04] put something together very

[2:30:05] quickly. So I mean, I think

[2:30:09] decision was made quickly,

[2:30:10] even though we have been

[2:30:11] talking about it over year, it

[2:30:12] was done without actual proper

[2:30:17] data and even the numbers that

[2:30:18] they gave the legislature were

[2:30:21] given with a dot 0, dot, you

[2:30:24] with more information to come.

[2:30:24] Yes, and that the end, they

[2:30:28] just thought that. They think

[2:30:29] you're a jump in sales. But I

[2:30:29] will say this about the

[2:30:31] speaker of the House, the

[2:30:33] Speaker House try to reduce

[2:30:34] the sales tax again last year

[2:30:36] by half a cent. He said before

[2:30:37] we put this on everybody else,

[2:30:38] let's reduce our own, which

[2:30:38] had never been done in history

[2:30:42] of the state of Florida. The

[2:30:43] Senate said no. The governor

[2:30:43] said no. He's a levy, reduce

[2:30:45] the sales tax by a quarter of

[2:30:46] a penny. And the governor in

[2:30:49] the Senate said no, because we

[2:30:51] see worst times coming ahead

[2:30:52] and we can't reduce income

[2:30:54] coming in. But I thought to

[2:30:55] myself, but you can do at the

[2:30:56] school cities and counties,

[2:30:56] but you couldn't do that

[2:31:00] yourself. But I don't know

[2:31:01] where you want to take But

[2:31:02] again, as they think that you

[2:31:05] there's more money. But at the

[2:31:06] end of the day, just like you

[2:31:07] said, we know that you guys

[2:31:08] are fiscally Rees, you know,

[2:31:10] kept responsible Putin statue

[2:31:11] and how you can spend dollars

[2:31:13] what you can do with impact

[2:31:14] fees and everything else. And

[2:31:14] you can't move it like like

[2:31:17] they can. And in the

[2:31:17] legislature.

[2:31:18] >> And I would also just add

[2:31:19] very quickly, if you don't

[2:31:21] mind that the other piece of

[2:31:24] this that was discussed on

[2:31:26] multiple occasions and has

[2:31:28] even come up since amendment 3

[2:31:32] made it onto the ballot. Is

[2:31:36] that every 20 years the tax,

[2:31:36] committee, the help me with

[2:31:38] the name tax in Florida,

[2:31:38] Taxation and Budget Reform

[2:31:41] Commission. Thank you. That

[2:31:41] one.

[2:31:43] >> They meet every 20 years

[2:31:46] and they are due to meet in

[2:31:48] 2027. So it's not lake if they

[2:31:51] had just waited to see.

[2:31:52] >> What those meetings, what,

[2:31:54] what they were going to

[2:31:56] suggest and, you know, their

[2:31:59] recommendations. Could we wait

[2:32:01] for that before moving forward

[2:32:03] with something like this? And

[2:32:05] it was brought up multiple

[2:32:06] times in session they weren't

[2:32:11] interested in waiting.

[2:32:12] >> That's very important.

[2:32:13] Other question I had is in my

[2:32:14] 4 years of doing this, and I

[2:32:14] guess they've been mostly on

[2:32:15] the education side. But I've

[2:32:17] talked to some county

[2:32:17] commissioners to is there's

[2:32:22] just not an appetite. 2. We

[2:32:23] know we've had some

[2:32:23] deregulation bills, but to do

[2:32:25] serious the regulation that

[2:32:28] would bring the cost down of

[2:32:30] doing business in the counties

[2:32:31] in the school systems. You

[2:32:31] bring it up in that and it

[2:32:33] just. I'm surprised that

[2:32:36] especially people who are you

[2:32:37] know, more fiscally

[2:32:38] conservative, let's say that

[2:32:39] are running, that they would

[2:32:40] not think that it's always

[2:32:44] more laws, more mandates. But

[2:32:45] you're going to cut your

[2:32:46] revenue more laws, more

[2:32:46] mandates that your revenue,

[2:32:48] more law

[2:32:49] >> No one recognizes will want

[2:32:52] help us cuts the requirement

[2:32:53] so we can actually lower the

[2:32:53] spending and then we could

[2:32:55] possibly lower taxes. And I

[2:32:56] missing something in what I'm

[2:32:57] I'm in now.

[2:32:58] >> Mean that that has been

[2:32:59] very much what we've seen. I

[2:33:03] mean, when we had the law that

[2:33:05] expanded school choice to what

[2:33:06] it we see now, we did have

[2:33:08] deregulation to go along with

[2:33:10] that. All right. And we have

[2:33:11] been told since then didn't

[2:33:13] know you got your

[2:33:13] deregulation. We were one and

[2:33:16] done now. That was really.

[2:33:19] Mostly coming from the

[2:33:20] governor's office when we

[2:33:22] would try to have those

[2:33:23] conversations. Senate has

[2:33:25] still been very much in

[2:33:28] support of continuing to

[2:33:32] deregulate in particular, the

[2:33:33] school districts in my

[2:33:35] conversations with incoming

[2:33:36] leadership and in both the

[2:33:39] House and Senate, there seems

[2:33:40] to be more of an appetite in

[2:33:41] the House to have those

[2:33:43] conversations going forward.

[2:33:48] And I know that. Those of us

[2:33:51] that are in the education

[2:33:52] lobbying space. Your your

[2:33:55] fellow members. So the others

[2:33:55] who represents some of the

[2:33:57] other school districts on both

[2:34:00] internally and externally, we

[2:34:02] have already been working on

[2:34:03] coming together to talk about

[2:34:05] some of these things to be

[2:34:07] able to approach whoever the

[2:34:08] new governor is and their new

[2:34:12] staff coming in to start these

[2:34:14] conversations right from the

[2:34:15] beginning because it does

[2:34:17] sound like we will have more

[2:34:18] support in House will continue

[2:34:19] to have support that we've had

[2:34:21] in the Senate. Sounds like

[2:34:21] we're going to have more

[2:34:24] support in the House

[2:34:25] potentially about that. So

[2:34:27] then what we want to do is be

[2:34:28] able to talk to 2 d o e and to

[2:34:30] the governor's off the new

[2:34:31] governor's office and be able

[2:34:32] to start those conversations

[2:34:34] right from the beginning. To

[2:34:36] your point of exactly the

[2:34:38] impacts that that could have

[2:34:40] and helping us to be able 2

[2:34:44] more work within our means.

[2:34:44] >> I mean that this whole the

[2:34:45] report is this a prime example

[2:34:48] of probably one of 100 or

[2:34:50] 1000? Remember asking a

[2:34:51] previous superintendent what

[2:34:52] percentage of the reports that

[2:34:53] you send up to do it if you

[2:34:56] are probably useless are not

[2:34:57] worth the time. And that is

[2:34:59] set up there. And some of

[2:35:01] these computer that's a 10 or

[2:35:01] 20% don't know much more than

[2:35:05] that, 30, 40. And that's

[2:35:05] because you know, who knows,

[2:35:07] maybe even 50, you know, but

[2:35:09] there's just this just our

[2:35:10] Kate stuff sitting out there

[2:35:12] that if we could just get rid

[2:35:14] of it, I wouldn't say

[2:35:15] billions, but it would maybe

[2:35:15] 10's of millions at least are

[2:35:18] hundreds of millions. And just

[2:35:18] that just that effort, I like

[2:35:20] to see a whole legislative

[2:35:22] session where the speaker of

[2:35:23] the House and PRESIDENT, the

[2:35:23] sense that the session is

[2:35:25] about what we're not going to

[2:35:26] do anymore instead of what

[2:35:27] we're just going to keep on

[2:35:31] layering on Larry on

[2:35:31] >> That would be great. It's

[2:35:32] even that threaten for

[2:35:33] decades. If introduce a bill

[2:35:33] that you have to introduce a

[2:35:37] bill to full withdrawal, a

[2:35:40] previous legislation that's

[2:35:40] ever been, it's always been

[2:35:43] threatened never happen that

[2:35:44] just well off a political so

[2:35:47] buckle. Give it back there as

[2:35:49] Felton and close this out. I

[2:35:54] just wanted to add that with

[2:35:54] I've been personally in

[2:35:59] conversation to be executive

[2:36:00] director operations of the

[2:36:01] Florida Sheriffs Association,

[2:36:02] the executive director for

[2:36:02] school Safety and Security

[2:36:06] Association. I think You're

[2:36:10] making living, I will. I I've

[2:36:12] been busy. And and there is

[2:36:14] concern that also coming into

[2:36:16] the Taxation of Budget Reform

[2:36:16] Commission, that even

[2:36:21] amendment 3. Fails that

[2:36:22] they're going to try and go

[2:36:23] into it there and find other

[2:36:27] ways in which to to cut. Cut

[2:36:27] the ability local governments

[2:36:30] to fund themselves. During

[2:36:35] that up. Couple of things on

[2:36:39] my my thought is on that hole.

[2:36:42] Amendment 3 thing. I think

[2:36:43] there are a lot of different

[2:36:44] organizations don't have real

[2:36:48] deep dive. And 2.

[2:36:49] >> If that passes, if it does

[2:36:53] not pass. I'm not gonna voice

[2:36:57] my opinion. Either way. But

[2:36:59] what I see and what I would

[2:37:02] forecast if that passed. That

[2:37:13] will then now. Counties. Tax

[2:37:13] to make up. That difference

[2:37:17] MAY be your. Your mileage rate

[2:37:18] for your property. Taxes is

[2:37:22] 5%. The county is going say,

[2:37:26] ok, we lost that revenue. So.

[2:37:26] I think the state is trying to

[2:37:31] force local. To raise their

[2:37:32] own funded and managed their

[2:37:33] own funding and let them get

[2:37:36] out of the way. And then the

[2:37:38] county would come and say, ok?

[2:37:43] You got a 5% discount on

[2:37:45] Morgan are you're not packed,

[2:37:46] but we still need revenues. So

[2:37:49] we're only gonna pack shoot

[2:37:52] 3%. So you're still getting a

[2:37:55] decrease. What you're paying

[2:37:59] on your property. But the

[2:38:01] county still needs to provide

[2:38:04] services. That's the way I

[2:38:08] have analyzed all of this.

[2:38:09] It's going to pass or it's not

[2:38:11] going to pass. There's going

[2:38:13] to be a shift and who's going

[2:38:16] to raise those funds and who's

[2:38:17] going to manage those funds?

[2:38:19] Director has us all that tax

[2:38:24] goes up to the state. And just

[2:38:25] like you say that they

[2:38:27] allocated and the presenter

[2:38:28] before, you know, we get so

[2:38:31] much and then and best that.

[2:38:34] So I see that a little

[2:38:35] differently. How the tax

[2:38:38] payers and the voters decide

[2:38:39] what they want to do. Is up to

[2:38:44] them. I think the leaders in

[2:38:46] the counties and and board

[2:38:49] members, superintendent county

[2:38:52] administrators. Are all going

[2:38:55] to have to look at different

[2:38:58] ways to manage fun funding

[2:39:02] sources. So that's the way I

[2:39:04] look at it. It's we're going

[2:39:06] to have to wait and as felons

[2:39:07] point. Yeah, they were just

[2:39:07] won't pass to Mike come up

[2:39:11] with a different way. I've

[2:39:12] been in my 18 years. I don't

[2:39:13] know how it's going to affect

[2:39:14] my tax bill. It do know is

[2:39:16] probably going to not do

[2:39:20] anything. But but I do know

[2:39:21] that it would give relief to

[2:39:22] those who are on very limited

[2:39:24] comp store. So you've got to

[2:39:27] look at it on both sides. And

[2:39:30] that's how I've looked at it.

[2:39:31] Both sides. There's a lot of

[2:39:33] people out there struggling. I

[2:39:34] serve on value Adjustment

[2:39:38] board. I've heard people

[2:39:43] comment. Here's about how much

[2:39:44] that homestead exemption and

[2:39:47] packed what they have to pay.

[2:39:51] So that's on just very

[2:39:52] neutral, be neutral on this

[2:39:54] because to me it's a county.

[2:39:58] It's not a school. Thing. Is

[2:39:58] it going to affect what we do

[2:40:02] in a school board? But maybe

[2:40:05] not so much. I think we're.

[2:40:06] Our financial stability is as

[2:40:10] good. I don't think it's going

[2:40:12] to affect us as much as some

[2:40:14] think. I think we have the

[2:40:17] resources to adjust, Joe,

[2:40:20] whatever this outcome is. So

[2:40:21] that's that's where I'm out

[2:40:25] with that. So I just wanted to

[2:40:26] close it out that, it's a wait

[2:40:29] and see thing. All your way in

[2:40:31] to you know, so all comes out

[2:40:36] well, wait and you know, a

[2:40:37] whole new leadership coming

[2:40:37] there. So you don't know is

[2:40:41] going to go CHAIRMAN, if I

[2:40:42] could just bear I want to say

[2:40:43] thank you to Dr PRESIDENT And

[2:40:45] MR. Chapman, your staff. When

[2:40:46] would I?

[2:40:47] >> Should have said this. And

[2:40:49] I during the one we need stuff

[2:40:50] and there's a bill that has

[2:40:51] been amended on any new with

[2:40:54] the impact to you all.

[2:40:55] >> And the financial impact is

[2:40:56] you guys have gotten back to

[2:40:57] us like within hours, is

[2:41:01] phasing in so MR. Chapman,

[2:41:02] thank you for staying on the

[2:41:04] staff and the I want you to

[2:41:05] know that it has been one that

[2:41:06] has really stood out that when

[2:41:07] we've needed the information

[2:41:07] just think that we're going

[2:41:10] into a committee. They do a

[2:41:12] strike. Call to a 234 page

[2:41:13] Bill and I need you to look at

[2:41:13] and get back on and to be what

[2:41:14] some of these policies and how

[2:41:16] they would impact you. And

[2:41:17] that's it. It's very helpful

[2:41:18] get in shape that. Thank you

[2:41:21] very much. We appreciate your

[2:41:22] partnership and.

[2:41:23] >> it is to Rachel Sellers are

[2:41:25] team as Back us up at the

[2:41:26] financials and MR. Chapman

[2:41:31] you very much. Thank keep an

[2:41:32] eye on it on us for sure. Like

[2:41:33] you guys everywhere. You have

[2:41:35] a phenomenal team.

[2:41:36] >> Yes, no. Thank you. Thank

[2:41:39] you so So much. Okay with

[2:41:40] that. I want to do one more

[2:41:42] item before we go item number

[2:41:44] 3. I don't think that's going

[2:41:45] to take more than 15 minutes

[2:41:47] or so should not. And then

[2:41:48] after that, we will break for

[2:41:50] lunch. I know there's other

[2:41:55] people here for item number.

[2:41:57] 6. This to Yeah. So we'll

[2:41:58] break for lunch after this

[2:42:13] presentation.

[2:42:13] And good morning

[2:42:17] again because this afternoon,

[2:42:18] I'm introducing allure how for

[2:42:26] you guys today. Pulling up she

[2:42:30] is with pfm. She is our

[2:42:31] financial Advisor Week. She

[2:42:34] has presented to the board

[2:42:34] before and she's going to

[2:42:38] present some of the proposed

[2:42:38] financings.

[2:42:39] >> Both of the 2 topics are

[2:42:45] items that are scheduled after

[2:42:47] this discussion to going to

[2:42:52] OCTOBER 6, 2026. Fort Meade.

[2:42:53] >> And good afternoon. I know

[2:42:54] between Yellen lunch, so I

[2:42:58] will be very brief.

[2:42:59] >> Presentation anyhow. And as

[2:43:00] I always like to do, when we

[2:43:01] present in front of you is

[2:43:02] just to kind show you where

[2:43:06] the municipal market has been

[2:43:08] recently. And so these 2

[2:43:09] graphics on site to are

[2:43:11] showing you on the left-hand

[2:43:14] side where the rates were mid

[2:43:15] AUGUST one week ago, one month

[2:43:17] ago and one year ago and the

[2:43:18] graphic on the right is

[2:43:20] showing the 10 year historical

[2:43:25] range with where it was now

[2:43:26] versus one year ago. And so

[2:43:28] one year ago, the rates on the

[2:43:29] long and we're a touch higher

[2:43:32] on short and they're a little

[2:43:34] bit lower. Since this in the

[2:43:35] past 2 weeks, rates have been

[2:43:36] bouncing around a lot. There's

[2:43:39] been a lot that's been going

[2:43:40] on with Iran with, you know,

[2:43:43] potentially what the market is

[2:43:43] trying to guess what the Fed's

[2:43:44] going to do. So this will

[2:43:45] continue to kind of bounce

[2:43:50] around. Which was mentioned

[2:43:51] before the Texans dissipation

[2:43:53] know this is something that

[2:43:55] the district does historically

[2:43:57] annually and it's basically

[2:43:58] intel that ad valorem revenues

[2:44:00] come in allows you to pay the

[2:44:01] operating expenses, teachers,

[2:44:04] salaries the money comes So

[2:44:05] this graphic is showing you

[2:44:06] what the projected cash flows

[2:44:09] are. The disbursements, our

[2:44:14] that our charts and those the

[2:44:14] black line is the actual

[2:44:17] receipt of when the funds come

[2:44:18] ncc NOVEMBER. That spikes up

[2:44:19] into DECEMBER based on when

[2:44:20] the property tax is actually

[2:44:23] come n. On site for this is

[2:44:25] showing what we anticipate for

[2:44:27] the series 2026 know as Rachel

[2:44:27] mention will be coming to the

[2:44:31] board on OCTOBER 6 kept them

[2:44:32] to distribute out a request

[2:44:34] for proposals from banks for

[2:44:39] an amount of 55 million with a

[2:44:41] out and sorry upper mount a

[2:44:43] 55 million with the final

[2:44:46] maturity of FEBRUARY. 27th

[2:44:47] 2027 below is showing you

[2:44:48] where the bids were over the

[2:44:50] past years. We didn't have the

[2:44:52] results back when this

[2:44:53] presentation was put together.

[2:44:54] But Wells Fargo did submit the

[2:44:57] most attractive bid again this

[2:45:01] year with the rate of 3 point

[2:45:03] 4, 2%. That is indicative. So

[2:45:04] it'll continue to fluctuate

[2:45:06] until the board approved sis

[2:45:06] on OCTOBER 6. Before we close

[2:45:10] on the 8. Any questions on

[2:45:13] that. And before I move on to

[2:45:14] the refunding to go back to

[2:45:17] one, that one slide, just look

[2:45:18] at the difference and

[2:45:22] >> interest from 10 years ago.

[2:45:23] And something. Yeah, I got

[2:45:25] that right Okay. I was yeah.

[2:45:30] One percent 3. Okay. Admit I'm

[2:45:32] sorry, MR. Taylor, go ahead.

[2:45:37] >> So this is money that. We

[2:45:38] borrow before we get our tax

[2:45:38] money so we can pay bills

[2:45:39] basically right in the 3 point

[2:45:42] for one percent of the

[2:45:44] interest that we would bar

[2:45:45] that interest me. We've are.

[2:45:48] It was 3.4, 2%. But yes. And

[2:45:50] so in what Dominic was

[2:45:51] mentioning earlier is the

[2:45:53] overnight rate is at 4% right

[2:45:55] now. So unlike your project

[2:45:57] funds from the cops that are

[2:45:58] invested, which are subject to

[2:46:00] our regulation.

[2:46:00] >> The Texan dissipation note

[2:46:03] is not its less than the 12

[2:46:06] months. So if we're borrowing

[2:46:07] at 3.4, 2% and we're investing

[2:46:11] at 4%, that interest earning

[2:46:14] you can capture and hold. So

[2:46:15] actually making The some of it

[2:46:19] if rates. Yeah. So back, you

[2:46:21] know, 10 years ago when rates

[2:46:23] were not as attractive

[2:46:25] investment rates overnight,

[2:46:25] rates were not, you know, they

[2:46:28] would get a quarter of hat.

[2:46:30] Percent where we are now. And

[2:46:32] with the conversation of the

[2:46:33] Fed meeting on the 16th of

[2:46:37] SEPTEMBER you know, there is

[2:46:39] speculation that it's going to

[2:46:39] go up by a quarter of a

[2:46:43] percent. We don't know but if

[2:46:45] that's the case and you would

[2:46:48] typically see the overnight

[2:46:48] rates correlate to increased

[2:46:50] with that as well. So while

[2:46:50] this is outstanding, if the

[2:46:51] Fed is increasing, rates

[2:46:55] overnight, rates but really

[2:46:57] it's to cover that debt in the

[2:46:58] short fall into tax receipts

[2:47:03] come And I've always wondered.

[2:47:04] >> Why? I mean, it works out

[2:47:05] for us this year when rates

[2:47:05] are high that we make some

[2:47:06] money. But another years we

[2:47:08] actually hey, interest on this

[2:47:12] money more than we are earning

[2:47:12] is that.

[2:47:15] >> There has been times. Yeah,

[2:47:16] especially when rates lower or

[2:47:19] it was in a declining interest

[2:47:20] rate environment. So you see

[2:47:24] in 2018 year at 2.0, 2, 5, and

[2:47:26] then 2019 was 1.7 8. That was

[2:47:27] the declining interest rate

[2:47:28] environment. So likely

[2:47:29] investment interest rates for

[2:47:31] declining as well. Were in a

[2:47:32] rising interest rate

[2:47:34] environment. Works in our

[2:47:35] favor. Have the benefit of

[2:47:37] that now? Yes.

[2:47:37] >> And I've always wondered

[2:47:38] what I know that there's a the

[2:47:43] state of Florida, has it

[2:47:44] Treasury account, right? Why

[2:47:46] that is the give us a 0

[2:47:47] interest loan. We applied for

[2:47:49] a look how much need.

[2:47:50] 45 million dollars. Here's

[2:47:50] your loan when you get your

[2:47:52] tax money pays back or

[2:47:55] something like that keep that.

[2:47:56] The process that we have to go

[2:47:57] through every year going out

[2:48:01] and getting this loan and then

[2:48:02] yeah, we make money this year.

[2:48:03] But another, it just seems

[2:48:06] it's just a bizarre process

[2:48:07] how treasurer of the state of

[2:48:09] Florida just can't they were

[2:48:09] going to forward to this money

[2:48:10] out of the Treasury pays back

[2:48:13] when get your tax

[2:48:14] >> Interesting concept. If

[2:48:16] y'all wanted to introduce

[2:48:24] death, openings banks have

[2:48:26] lobbyist like like talk about

[2:48:27] the lawyer. You know, there's

[2:48:29] usually a story behind what

[2:48:31] seems intuitively obvious.

[2:48:31] There's a story behind a bank.

[2:48:33] Logic is not only logical.

[2:48:41] >> that's all ahead.

[2:48:42] >> So the next part is

[2:48:44] actually refunding. So saving

[2:48:47] you all some money on site 5,

[2:48:49] we just going back through The

[2:48:50] refund means that the district

[2:48:53] has taken advantage of which

[2:48:54] resulted over 16 million of

[2:48:57] cash flow savings for capital

[2:48:58] projects. So this is something

[2:49:00] that we monitor for you all.

[2:49:02] And we do have the opportunity

[2:49:04] coming up for the sales tax

[2:49:09] Revenue Bonds series 2017.

[2:49:10] They're currently outstanding

[2:49:13] in an amount of 73 million,

[2:49:14] 365,000 of which 60 per

[2:49:18] 1 million, 355,000 and is

[2:49:19] eligible for currently funding

[2:49:22] on APRIL. First 2027 it's in

[2:49:23] the years. Maturing and 27 to

[2:49:28] 32. Rates again at they've

[2:49:29] said kind of been moving

[2:49:30] around. They will continue to

[2:49:30] move around. We won't be able

[2:49:34] to move on this and tell.

[2:49:36] Early 2027 any how to do this

[2:49:38] pricing. But when we did this

[2:49:39] analysis 2 weeks ago, it was

[2:49:41] producing over 4% of savings

[2:49:43] which is a net present value

[2:49:45] savings of 2 and a half

[2:49:46] million for the capital

[2:49:50] dollars on this. And so we

[2:49:51] would recommend that this is

[2:49:53] coming to the board as well on

[2:49:55] OCTOBER 6. And we set the

[2:49:56] parameters said that, you

[2:49:57] know, with the rates

[2:49:57] fluctuating and when we align

[2:50:00] for the perfect moment to

[2:50:02] price, which the district has

[2:50:05] actually been pretty

[2:50:05] successful at getting that we

[2:50:08] set it at a minimum of 3% net

[2:50:10] present value savings on the

[2:50:11] refunding of the bonds, which

[2:50:13] is an aligned with Jeff foe. 8

[2:50:15] best practices. The final

[2:50:17] remains the same of OCTOBER.

[2:50:18] First 2032. So there's no

[2:50:21] extension on that. And so this

[2:50:23] will come for you all

[2:50:23] consideration on the OCTOBER

[2:50:27] 6 billion as well.

[2:50:28] >> question, So the first

[2:50:31] line. Currently refund, the

[2:50:33] sales tax revenue bonds.

[2:50:35] What's that? What is that

[2:50:37] exactly mean to refund a sales

[2:50:39] tax revenue? So prior before

[2:50:40] the tax reform you could do in

[2:50:43] advance refunding.

[2:50:45] >> With the tax reform you can

[2:50:45] only currently funding. And so

[2:50:50] the called a is on APRIL 4th

[2:50:54] are able first of 2027. I'm so

[2:50:56] you are allowed to refund

[2:50:57] within a 90 day window. That

[2:50:59] makes it a current refunding,

[2:51:00] unlike your mortgage or you

[2:51:01] could go every 6 months if you

[2:51:05] wanted to reset your rate with

[2:51:06] the revisions of tax, always

[2:51:07] be able do in advance

[2:51:08] refunding. You could do one

[2:51:10] advance refunding and then

[2:51:10] you'd have to wait for

[2:51:12] current. Now, you can only do

[2:51:13] current. There are some

[2:51:15] creative solutions out and

[2:51:16] several were sent to the

[2:51:17] district by the underwriters.

[2:51:20] But with the interest rate

[2:51:21] environment, we thought that

[2:51:23] it was just best to wait

[2:51:24] because you you do pay premium

[2:51:25] if you try and lock it in

[2:51:26] Pryor. And so that's what it's

[2:51:27] it's just letting you know,

[2:51:31] where in line with this is the

[2:51:32] current So it'll be within 90

[2:51:34] day window of the

[2:51:37] >> So the term refund does not

[2:51:38] go to the store and their

[2:51:39] refund. Me if I return

[2:51:43] something refunding 3 doing.

[2:51:43] >> The whole the whole loan

[2:51:44] refinancing refinance, get

[2:51:46] that might be a better just

[2:51:48] that fun.

[2:51:52] >> And then minimum that.

[2:51:53] >> PRESIDENT Saving value

[2:51:53] savings of at least 3%. Does

[2:51:58] that mean our policy? Says

[2:51:59] that we're not going to

[2:51:59] refinance unless we get at

[2:52:04] least a 3% savings. That okay.

[2:52:05] It's good. Understand what we

[2:52:07] go through here so that I walk

[2:52:08] with actually understand what

[2:52:11] this all meant. And then

[2:52:11] finally, a little maturity

[2:52:12] will not extend beyond the

[2:52:15] curvature to date of or not.

[2:52:18] Is not a policy that we don't

[2:52:19] extend charity that weeks, the

[2:52:20] maturity that you can

[2:52:21] >> You know, there's there's

[2:52:25] other. Considerations that

[2:52:26] need to go into If you're

[2:52:29] extending maturity Again, like

[2:52:32] a mortgage, you could say you

[2:52:34] are in a 10 year mortgage and

[2:52:35] you want to extend out the

[2:52:36] remaining principal refinance

[2:52:38] to 30. We typically don't do

[2:52:39] that. There are exceptions

[2:52:39] that you might want to look at

[2:52:43] it in this, you know, for a

[2:52:44] straightforward refinancing

[2:52:44] refunding. That's not

[2:52:47] something we would consider.

[2:52:49] There's other factors that so

[2:52:51] you're allowed to. But there's

[2:52:53] other considerations and to

[2:52:53] that and we wouldn't advise in

[2:52:54] the situation. There's no need

[2:52:58] to.

[2:52:58] >> the whole process that

[2:53:00] you're talking about is it's

[2:53:01] basically like refinancing.

[2:53:02] Our mortgage is for lack of a

[2:53:03] better get a better interest

[2:53:03] rate to save U.S. Money But at

[2:53:05] least 3% super simple yet they

[2:53:08] got Thank you.

[2:53:11] >> Yeah, do. Bringing in that.

[2:53:18] Put it I don't have anyone

[2:53:18] all.

[2:53:21] >> As I have a question for I

[2:53:26] laying on Very simple.

[2:53:27] Appreciate will see you then.

[2:53:28] Have everything on OCTOBER

[2:53:33] meeting for Superman? Yeah,

[2:53:33] thank Thank Lauren. Thank you.

[2:53:38] Thank you so much. Board

[2:53:40] members. It is 12 53. I am

[2:53:41] going to break for a 30

[2:53:45] minutes enough for you.

[2:53:47] Welcome back after a lunch

[2:53:49] break. Come back and a session

[2:53:50] one 30 and we're going on to

[2:53:58] item. 4.5 And that is a

[2:53:59] discussion regarding a

[2:54:00] brighter forecast or s b

[2:54:00] legislative priority. And we

[2:54:01] have MISTER Katzman help guide

[2:54:06] us through that.

[2:54:08] >> Thank you, MADAM Chair and

[2:54:12] MR. Di stupor intent. So we do

[2:54:14] this around this time every

[2:54:15] year. And this is when you

[2:54:18] have a chance to hear the

[2:54:19] briefing from Sunrise

[2:54:21] Consulting and then we kind of

[2:54:26] you all decide what. You want

[2:54:27] to focus on for that team to

[2:54:28] focus on and for you all, when

[2:54:30] you go up to Tallahassee for

[2:54:34] this year's priorities, we

[2:54:37] discuss what those priorities

[2:54:40] should be, I will then load

[2:54:41] them into the f fsb, a

[2:54:44] platform and the consortium's

[2:54:48] platform so that that way they

[2:54:49] Ms Skelton reference that way.

[2:54:50] They have them by the end of

[2:54:52] the week as they begin to

[2:54:58] draft there platform and and

[2:54:59] then eventually when you all

[2:55:00] are in a place where these

[2:55:01] priorities are good to go,

[2:55:04] we'll put them on aboard

[2:55:05] agenda just to make it

[2:55:06] official and to approve them.

[2:55:09] So what you have in front of

[2:55:13] you last sessions, school

[2:55:15] disco boards, legislative

[2:55:18] priorities. You also have fsb

[2:55:20] a's priorities from last

[2:55:22] session and thus consortium's

[2:55:23] priorities from last session

[2:55:26] as reference. So what we could

[2:55:26] do is take a look at the

[2:55:30] school boards. Priorities from

[2:55:33] last session and see if

[2:55:33] there's once. You know right

[2:55:34] now, number 7, we could

[2:55:36] probably take off number 7,

[2:55:38] for example, right? Success

[2:55:42] there. And then we could talk

[2:55:42] will help guide a little bit,

[2:55:47] maybe about what an

[2:55:48] appropriations requests could

[2:55:51] look like. That could be in

[2:55:53] the area of what the last

[2:55:54] presentation at this workshop

[2:55:57] is about as MAY be related to

[2:55:58] maybe Bayshore high school and

[2:55:59] maybe what? What, what, what

[2:56:00] that campus could look like

[2:56:01] and maybe there's a request

[2:56:06] around around that. So maybe

[2:56:08] MADAM Chair, if we look at the

[2:56:09] last year's school board,

[2:56:12] legislative priorities.

[2:56:16] There's 10 on there. Obviously

[2:56:17] he will eliminate number 7,

[2:56:23] sir. Now there's 9. And I'll

[2:56:24] let you all kind of discuss

[2:56:24] it. The should remain if we

[2:56:27] should add some. And that's

[2:56:28] what this time is is is about.

[2:56:33] >> Can Boart on the document

[2:56:36] that you have.

[2:56:37] >> I do see that re on eye on

[2:56:40] number.

[2:56:41] >> Word. Is that the 5th?

[2:56:42] Because salty fish and coast

[2:56:47] all day number 2. I think we

[2:56:48] need to tie. And MISTER Tatum

[2:56:52] has traffic down gent there

[2:56:54] Sunrise said there's movement

[2:56:55] on that. I think that would be

[2:56:56] a good item to add at this

[2:57:00] point. It's a number one 100

[2:57:01] number 2. And then number 9

[2:57:02] has the fish.

[2:57:07] >> Okay. But it doesn't

[2:57:10] actually say as threat fun

[2:57:11] there. The last was asked for

[2:57:15] at the ok, see it there. I'm

[2:57:15] Meta don't want with maybe

[2:57:17] read that maybe re.

[2:57:20] >> Phrase that because here

[2:57:21] I'm sitting here, I didn't see

[2:57:29] Last word because I con on and

[2:57:34] off. All of you've seen that.

[2:57:34] Social media post about a new

[2:57:39] charter. And how much costing

[2:57:41] them. And it's like no the

[2:57:42] prime a private school k

[2:57:44] private. Well, under what? We

[2:57:47] have to pay. The vote yes.

[2:57:51] Only 20,000 foot. My

[2:57:51] understanding that still the

[2:57:52] same and they're getting a

[2:57:56] lot. They're gonna warehouse

[2:57:59] again a warehouse. But could

[2:58:00] exactly. So.

[2:58:01] >> I number 9 is along the

[2:58:02] same thing. The fish and the

[2:58:05] right? Programmatic capacity.

[2:58:08] I mean, get from a school

[2:58:10] district standpoint, have we?

[2:58:11] I mean, that was That was I

[2:58:12] know we brought that up in

[2:58:15] lieu of was happening with

[2:58:16] schools of Is that something

[2:58:18] that still like the fish

[2:58:20] reported that some I don't

[2:58:21] care about have hope. Is that

[2:58:22] something we still need to

[2:58:26] make sure together. Deficient

[2:58:28] that the actual capacity was

[2:58:31] definitely often in places.

[2:58:32] That's something we still need

[2:58:34] to have a priority or is that

[2:58:37] >> We did have a visit by the

[2:58:37] deal. We they looked at

[2:58:38] programs, were able to make

[2:58:42] some adjustments and did

[2:58:42] Calculate Fishburne Harley

[2:58:46] building the Harley Center. So

[2:58:47] I feel like we've made some

[2:58:51] progress. They're looking for.

[2:58:52] Regina love that work. But I

[2:58:54] feel like we're safe and that

[2:58:55] regard for now, the dog did

[2:58:59] come and work with us but I

[2:59:02] talk to staff and get back up.

[2:59:02] It's something that we still

[2:59:05] feels a priority. I guess what

[2:59:07] I'm trying to say is some of

[2:59:11] the things we need to put.

[2:59:14] >> And a different order.

[2:59:15] >> So we have stir up here

[2:59:16] than we have the fish down

[2:59:19] here to me. All of those

[2:59:22] things should be. Kinda in

[2:59:25] line with each other. Share

[2:59:28] just like the finance school

[2:59:29] board, number 4. And number 5,

[2:59:31] those are all financial plight

[2:59:31] thing.

[2:59:35] >> We could make number 9

[2:59:36] number 3 that basically what

[2:59:39] I'm or not, if we if we need

[2:59:40] it every think I don't think

[2:59:41] we really need number 9. Think

[2:59:45] we've come to

[2:59:47] >> squash that whole thing.

[2:59:48] But proving were using our

[2:59:49] facilities and not in the way

[2:59:53] it's So I would say to kind of

[2:59:53] scratch that one as well. I

[2:59:57] think 10 like.

[2:59:58] >> Knowing we've all obviously

[2:59:59] been up there during the time

[2:59:59] you have in 15 minutes,

[3:00:02] whatever 20 minutes to go in

[3:00:03] even even here when you're

[3:00:06] locally here with the

[3:00:07] delegates like 10 is a lot

[3:00:10] here and some of this. It is

[3:00:13] repeating what in number 10

[3:00:15] says we were killing the

[3:00:16] consortium and then obviously

[3:00:17] going end up probably some

[3:00:21] point if it's be so I feel

[3:00:22] like this is some of this is

[3:00:26] in those we don't need to

[3:00:27] outline those that we one

[3:00:28] year. We didn't like 2 years

[3:00:33] ago. There was like 2 or 3.

[3:00:34] Topics in the consortium that

[3:00:37] we really like were released.

[3:00:38] Definitely want that. And we

[3:00:41] put like up. Eu member like

[3:00:42] Eric Wright from ours. And

[3:00:45] then we had like another mine

[3:00:45] that brought out those

[3:00:46] specific ones. Yeah, I'm not.

[3:00:49] I don't know about

[3:00:50] >> has listed on item number

[3:00:52] area distortion become like

[3:00:53] highlighted that it was these

[3:00:56] are ones in.

[3:01:00] >> The consortium f b a like

[3:01:00] we're really behind. But I'm

[3:01:02] just going to duplicate. I

[3:01:05] think we should make don't

[3:01:05] know which one I know number 5

[3:01:08] is probably do bucket. Always

[3:01:11] increase in the bsa. He's

[3:01:12] always in the legislative ask

[3:01:13] and never really happened. So

[3:01:16] what we want.

[3:01:17] >> Let's go back to 10 real

[3:01:17] quick. Do you agree board that

[3:01:21] we should scrap that one? I

[3:01:21] mean, that's just saying we're

[3:01:22] going to support the greater

[3:01:24] Florida because I mean, their

[3:01:28] priorities have to be voted on

[3:01:31] by every board. This in that

[3:01:32] concert Anyway, members of

[3:01:34] writers. Yeah. So I would say

[3:01:35] scrap number 10 as well.

[3:01:36] That's fine. Would would it be

[3:01:38] rather than having it as a

[3:01:40] numbered priority to we just

[3:01:42] have a statement at the

[3:01:44] bottom. So it went so it's not

[3:01:45] numbered. So looks like it's

[3:01:47] an additional priority. But

[3:01:47] just at a statement, in

[3:01:49] addition, the school board

[3:01:50] Manatee County for second

[3:01:50] being a letter, maybe, yeah,

[3:01:53] it could be a letter. I can

[3:01:55] tell like not just as cheap

[3:01:56] but as a school board. This is

[3:01:56] our priorities. And we

[3:02:01] support. The greater

[3:02:03] consortium. We support fsb I

[3:02:05] would put it there instead of

[3:02:07] on. Exactly. So that raised we

[3:02:07] we are weighing in that we do

[3:02:11] support them in some way.

[3:02:11] Rather than does look like

[3:02:12] we're not supporting the

[3:02:13] consortium or the atmosphere

[3:02:20] right? I know number 3 was

[3:02:21] another one that MISTER Tatum

[3:02:26] really work hard. I think I

[3:02:28] don't think it remove it.

[3:02:32] Because not an but right.

[3:02:34] Thanks. You know that he would

[3:02:36] attack. So it take number 3 as

[3:02:39] well. I'm sure you're taking

[3:02:44] notes. Yeah, I think you are.

[3:02:45] When we go up to item number

[3:02:50] one. We need to bring But

[3:02:55] those items that our similar

[3:02:56] like the fish reporting all of

[3:03:01] that took down on Titan on

[3:03:01] trying to it is going to want

[3:03:04] to or buildings, right? One to

[3:03:07] are the buildings, ok? Very

[3:03:07] good.

[3:03:08] >> Before we move up 3, that

[3:03:08] if we want to keep it, that

[3:03:09] it's a building when to

[3:03:12] theoretically right now. Which

[3:03:14] the authorized district school

[3:03:14] board to develop finance to

[3:03:16] manage workforce yet for.

[3:03:22] Doing that. I know you haven't

[3:03:22] done because what we're

[3:03:23] looking at with.

[3:03:25] >> time year.

[3:03:29] >> Right. Because of climate

[3:03:29] of the time. It's why we had

[3:03:35] that on As climate.

[3:03:36] >> Because political climate,

[3:03:42] I think she meant not live

[3:03:43] plaque the people positions. I

[3:03:43] really didn't that on there. I

[3:03:48] don't. I don't think so. I I

[3:03:51] we just need to.

[3:03:52] >> I I think we're in we focus

[3:03:53] on 10 items. There go. Look at

[3:03:57] one or 2. Yeah. Act, Jimmy. I

[3:03:58] think we need to be more

[3:04:01] precise for sure. And and get

[3:04:05] that message. And Betty. And

[3:04:06] to everybody's some MR. Khan

[3:04:07] to go ahead. That said, I'd

[3:04:12] like to add one to the list,

[3:04:12] >> been that this is my only

[3:04:13] asked for, though, some peace.

[3:04:17] >> And if you I'm actually in

[3:04:19] the off a one pager hope that

[3:04:20] gap. So we have on the very

[3:04:24] last page. And this is the a

[3:04:26] consortium wish list. The very

[3:04:31] last page. The 3rd. Sentence

[3:04:32] under operations include

[3:04:34] certified Pre-k staff employed

[3:04:35] by Charter and district

[3:04:37] operate public schools.

[3:04:40] >> In the definition of k 12

[3:04:41] instructional personnel. This

[3:04:42] has been a very frequent asked

[3:04:45] over the years and then it

[3:04:46] must dropped off. And probably

[3:04:46] because people got sick of

[3:04:48] asking and never came. Not

[3:04:50] only what I like that Pre-k

[3:04:51] staffer requests that we have

[3:04:54] a legislative change. But I'd

[3:04:55] also every year we do

[3:05:00] bargaining. We run into this

[3:05:01] >> there are positions

[3:05:03] guidance counselors, school

[3:05:04] Sykes, social workers who work

[3:05:07] with kids and work in schools

[3:05:10] but are for the sake of

[3:05:10] bargaining in this example are

[3:05:13] not. Don't fit the definition

[3:05:16] of a teacher. And so that

[3:05:18] group is always kind of left

[3:05:18] behind. And every year they

[3:05:20] come to us and say, hey, how

[3:05:22] come we're not considered. We

[3:05:24] work in schools. We were kids

[3:05:25] and we have to tell them

[3:05:26] sorry, court. That what you're

[3:05:27] not a you don't count this

[3:05:31] group. And I just I would like

[3:05:32] to renew that request. It's

[3:05:34] probably going to ignored

[3:05:35] again. But

[3:05:36] >> what were you Mr?

[3:05:36] Candidates on the very last

[3:05:39] page of the packet. All right.

[3:05:42] The the coalition.

[3:05:43] >> Under operations, it's the

[3:05:46] 3rd item. Include certified

[3:05:51] Pre-k staff occasion and I

[3:05:55] love with you on this. South.

[3:05:57] So okay, I'm not that they

[3:05:59] about. That's right. I'm just

[3:06:01] walking through the

[3:06:04] functionality of adding Pre-k

[3:06:07] teachers. No, my question is.

[3:06:11] Pre-k vpk right?

[3:06:14] >> well, I guess part of my

[3:06:15] reservation with the wording

[3:06:16] that they have in here that

[3:06:17] does include anything about

[3:06:19] funding. So what I don't want

[3:06:22] to see. These are funding not

[3:06:25] really change yet. We have to

[3:06:26] incorporate all these other

[3:06:27] teachers involved in the same

[3:06:29] amount so. I think waters down

[3:06:32] raises so so if we do that, I

[3:06:34] think we got to add something

[3:06:37] on there like we have with

[3:06:38] number what numbers on

[3:06:40] Mandates without money, right?

[3:06:42] Yeah. Fully. Fund Monday. So

[3:06:43] if we want to Pre-k, it's got

[3:06:49] to come and funding. Now

[3:06:49] through early learning

[3:06:51] coalition right? Is how we

[3:06:56] paid a vpk. Look donut line

[3:07:02] here. Anybody. Why I was

[3:07:03] thinking of only ones that are

[3:07:04] hosted in our in our schools.

[3:07:06] So then what so and the

[3:07:09] charter schools Should the

[3:07:13] private ones are out? Their be

[3:07:13] cake carriers are not gonna

[3:07:14] get any funding other what

[3:07:16] they normally happen and

[3:07:19] they're not be considered in

[3:07:20] the Pre-k.

[3:07:20] >> Can I just think does that

[3:07:21] make sense on some of please,

[3:07:26] please, So Some of our

[3:07:27] teachers who are teaching Pre

[3:07:30] k have a certification. Some

[3:07:33] do not carry the Florida

[3:07:34] teacher certificate are title

[3:07:37] one. We do require as part

[3:07:38] monies that they get funded by

[3:07:40] the title one program.

[3:07:41] >> So they're they're still

[3:07:45] would be. A differential

[3:07:47] there. There is any ways based

[3:07:47] on, you know, credentialed by

[3:07:48] the dod versus not

[3:07:51] credentialed by the doing.

[3:07:52] >> And that's where I have the

[3:07:53] problem one. That's I just

[3:07:56] think it's so much to this.

[3:08:00] Then the pka prepay. Then just

[3:08:01] the dish because you're going

[3:08:04] to have the private. The

[3:08:04] private pay will like. And

[3:08:07] Mike. Early learning cold like

[3:08:09] I don't. I just I'm a great to

[3:08:12] know how that meshes with each

[3:08:13] other to say, let's included

[3:08:15] with the k 12. Unless you're

[3:08:16] gonna give us funding for

[3:08:19] that. Known as the Knicks and

[3:08:19] including the funding ask is

[3:08:21] think it's good point. That's

[3:08:23] that's crucial. What I'm after

[3:08:27] is the anybody. If so, if you

[3:08:28] bring Pre-k teachers into the

[3:08:29] definition of instructional

[3:08:32] personnel. I'm assuming here,

[3:08:33] but I'm assuming they would

[3:08:35] then be covered by the the

[3:08:36] marketing unit yet they've by

[3:08:38] the nba. So guess what I'm

[3:08:43] asking is that we pull. And I

[3:08:43] haven't really talked to Pat

[3:08:44] about this Everybody about it

[3:08:46] yet. But we pull those

[3:08:49] positions that we're talking

[3:08:50] about, which come to us every

[3:08:51] single bargaining session say,

[3:08:52] hey, like this year. It's the

[3:08:55] t a t s I a money. So we have

[3:08:56] counselors, other staff

[3:08:57] members, schools like social

[3:09:00] workers that work with kids

[3:09:01] look will happen in the

[3:09:01] district much lot of 10 years.

[3:09:04] But I'm not getting that he s

[3:09:06] a bonus that the Legislature.

[3:09:09] Set aside for us and it's

[3:09:10] like, well, once again, you

[3:09:11] don't fit the statutory

[3:09:14] definition of teacher and and

[3:09:15] it's I just feel like it's

[3:09:15] Groundhog Day which have the

[3:09:16] same conversation every single

[3:09:19] year and nothing ever changes.

[3:09:20] Even though.

[3:09:20] >> Well, I think that just

[3:09:22] like Jesus fairness, I think

[3:09:25] that's what keeps or claim on

[3:09:26] everybody's legislative

[3:09:27] priorities because it doesn't

[3:09:31] get a lot of traction. I know

[3:09:32] that other districts have

[3:09:36] talked about it. I get the

[3:09:37] same feedback. They're never

[3:09:38] going to change that because

[3:09:41] it's going to water down on

[3:09:42] the consortium. One rent rises

[3:09:44] It's been there forever. I

[3:09:49] would be. Hesitant to put it

[3:09:49] on ours.

[3:09:50] >> Well, I guess my thing is

[3:09:52] like we ask every year, but

[3:09:53] Lake, I think it's important

[3:09:54] enough that we leave. Even if

[3:09:55] they're gonna say no, let's do

[3:09:56] include it on the on our ask.

[3:09:58] And maybe. Maybe there's a

[3:10:02] change The governor's office

[3:10:06] or something that can.

[3:10:07] Precipitate a chain. Wilson

[3:10:07] will say I just I just believe

[3:10:08] it. I just like the give up

[3:10:11] and leave it off.

[3:10:11] >> So would you want to word

[3:10:16] it? This way.

[3:10:20] >> But add a funding aspect to

[3:10:21] it.

[3:10:22] >> So what I just for time's

[3:10:24] sake, how I work on that

[3:10:25] number.

[3:10:25] >> Back, ok, I'll bring. That

[3:10:26] would be because I would like

[3:10:30] to see. And to yes, the

[3:10:34] district, how much? Would that

[3:10:35] impact our district? Randi

[3:10:37] Kaye. And what kind of impact

[3:10:41] is that going to have on?

[3:10:41] >> The early learning and all

[3:10:47] the People that do this.

[3:10:50] >> It's not just or That would

[3:10:52] be a fair way, I think to that

[3:10:54] and and bring it back. And as

[3:10:55] we about its numbers and get

[3:10:57] those okay. And then about a

[3:11:01] question about the 2 are

[3:11:02] because because and Florida,

[3:11:03] Kate, k 12, they don't call it

[3:11:06] Pre k 12 when they talk about

[3:11:07] education and standards and

[3:11:10] all those things. When we get

[3:11:14] allocations and you know, all

[3:11:15] the information told he had

[3:11:17] followed by the state. Our

[3:11:22] Pre-k included in that.

[3:11:23] >> I'm trying to think up the

[3:11:26] top my head that he s I

[3:11:30] parameters and there was. A

[3:11:32] specific and reference to

[3:11:35] Pre-k certified. I believe The

[3:11:40] sellers do you recall this?

[3:11:46] Certified Pre k certified dea

[3:11:48] teachers were a part of the

[3:11:50] tsa. Met met the other

[3:11:51] parameters that included a 10

[3:11:51] plus years of experience in

[3:11:53] Florida. From my recollection.

[3:11:56] Okay. Okay. And then when we.

[3:11:56] >> And with the fish. But

[3:11:57] next, the fish for a second.

[3:12:00] Do they in its Pre-k still not

[3:12:04] included? Definition when

[3:12:07] they're looking at.

[3:12:08] >> And again, I confirman and

[3:12:10] get that when we worked with

[3:12:11] the deo, we we did share our

[3:12:12] classrooms. And I believe they

[3:12:15] took that into account. But

[3:12:17] when we run, that I'd have to

[3:12:21] go back and look at those

[3:12:23] numbers. I if memory serves

[3:12:24] me, I think we did talk about

[3:12:31] the Pre k District

[3:12:32] >> Spaces and seats that we

[3:12:33] have we were doing all we do.

[3:12:34] We put all of that into our

[3:12:35] systems. I will write make

[3:12:38] sure that the Earth for the

[3:12:40] state spent that is that they

[3:12:41] do take our feedback. When we

[3:12:44] have that collaboration.

[3:12:45] >> Because if I'm if I'm

[3:12:45] remembering correctly, we

[3:12:48] going through. Data base of

[3:12:49] schools of hope argument was

[3:12:51] that they don't count because

[3:12:54] it they win the like, you

[3:12:55] know, generally speaking, not

[3:12:56] just for us, but generally

[3:12:58] speaking, they don't count Pre

[3:13:03] k as part of the regular fish

[3:13:04] count because they don't count

[3:13:06] the death smaller class folks.

[3:13:10] So that was wondering if Pre-k

[3:13:11] teachers are even on their

[3:13:14] radar at I write it. The

[3:13:15] teacher side of its a whole

[3:13:17] different a space side of But

[3:13:18] >> it's more the impact of

[3:13:21] people. You know, are people

[3:13:22] going to have to go get

[3:13:26] certifications if we? That's

[3:13:27] what I want to find out to the

[3:13:27] district court can impact that

[3:13:31] will have on U.S.

[3:13:31] >> MADAM Chair point of

[3:13:32] clarification is that we think

[3:13:36] it's just Pre-k teachers who

[3:13:37] are eligible, but we will send

[3:13:38] out that clarification as

[3:13:39] well. So the board has that

[3:13:44] exact.

[3:13:45] >> Okay. So what that's going

[3:13:47] to be tbd. Ok, back to the

[3:13:50] draft. Okay. Appreciate MR.

[3:13:52] Kennedy.

[3:13:57] >> Thank so

[3:14:00] >> 5, I'm guessing we want to

[3:14:00] keep that.

[3:14:01] >> I I would say to remove it

[3:14:01] because I think it's. It's

[3:14:05] going to be done in the other

[3:14:06] ones think it's It's going to

[3:14:08] be done. Essays always. Talked

[3:14:11] about. So we put something on

[3:14:15] the bottom line. Just don't

[3:14:15] add.

[3:14:16] >> In the letter, I want every

[3:14:20] in a e with whatever. Yeah, my

[3:14:21] hope for this document is too.

[3:14:22] And I talked about this with

[3:14:24] the consortium.

[3:14:29] >> Simple. Less is more. So I

[3:14:31] think this one was way too but

[3:14:32] we all wanted something on

[3:14:36] there. And it's a distortion

[3:14:38] or school boards association.

[3:14:40] Has those some items on there.

[3:14:40] We will point that out in the

[3:14:47] letter. Create same. Thank you

[3:14:50] for your time. This is the

[3:14:52] school board. I'm Angie just

[3:14:52] school District Manatee

[3:14:55] County's rich list. Understand

[3:14:58] that we fully support fsb a's

[3:15:03] and distortions platform and

[3:15:05] to our our consideration. But

[3:15:07] this is our first Pacific

[3:15:12] Manatee District. Yeah, I

[3:15:14] think there needs to be a

[3:15:16] statement on our letter that

[3:15:21] we get but not necessarily So

[3:15:22] we get started out at the top,

[3:15:24] thank you and put something a

[3:15:25] cave. Hope they're going to

[3:15:26] read it. But and then, but our

[3:15:30] ask, I don't know. Are like

[3:15:31] you said that the model

[3:15:33] talking to make sure

[3:15:33] understanding.

[3:15:35] >> So you really want this to

[3:15:37] be just manatee specific? Yes.

[3:15:41] Every kid, you know. Have a

[3:15:42] cover letter is what I'm

[3:15:43] trying to come out with. I

[3:15:45] guess just say. This. Just

[3:15:51] Watt. We came up was our and

[3:15:52] then add in that cover letter

[3:15:53] that we support, we always

[3:15:56] tell them to make. All right.

[3:15:56] We always tell him to. But I

[3:15:57] think the cover letter with

[3:16:02] this would be. Document that

[3:16:02] were vested in a summer. You

[3:16:05] support the nations.

[3:16:06] >> was about his mother

[3:16:08] meeting

[3:16:13] >> We front. Alright.

[3:16:15] >> Okay. As another. And just.

[3:16:16] >> Because I think I well, I I

[3:16:19] got a dollar. Ask going to get

[3:16:19] to.

[3:16:20] >> I think you're going to go

[3:16:21] to I think you'd be able as

[3:16:21] we're sitting with the

[3:16:22] delegates and stuff you're

[3:16:25] going to say, hey, we also

[3:16:28] support sba put you right

[3:16:28] right week.

[3:16:29] >> And that's why with the

[3:16:32] little cover letter. So when

[3:16:33] we do go before the delegation

[3:16:34] will have that letter, we can

[3:16:36] go to it. Tash is your and

[3:16:37] these are the ones that we

[3:16:42] are. Asking for kind of kind

[3:16:43] of what I want. But I also

[3:16:44] have asked for finance to

[3:16:48] sell. I one. MR. Concerns on

[3:16:52] the right. Gabby out. Maybe

[3:16:55] for that. If there's something

[3:16:56] major that comes out from the

[3:16:59] consortium for a that's like a

[3:17:01] huge impact on everybody,

[3:17:01] including Nancy. I feel like

[3:17:02] we should prioritize that.

[3:17:04] Also on our.

[3:17:05] >> Platform. Not to say that

[3:17:08] we support them, but also make

[3:17:11] a point of, hey, this is the

[3:17:12] really big.

[3:17:13] >> You know, like that I was

[3:17:14] in couple years ago, we did

[3:17:15] that. Yeah, we had like sure

[3:17:18] that if right or like doing

[3:17:20] yeah, right. And that would be

[3:17:22] in the bold print. I know like

[3:17:24] a the priorities. This is this

[3:17:25] is a major issue with right.

[3:17:27] Cheryl districts all over the

[3:17:29] plate. Please. Well, this is

[3:17:29] art. And this is the things

[3:17:32] that we're going to be

[3:17:36] discussing. 3 meeting all be

[3:17:36] discussing with the crust or

[3:17:38] sham in Miami couple of share.

[3:17:38] So.

[3:17:40] >> Yeah, something stands out

[3:17:42] to me. Well, absolutely. Putin

[3:17:44] print for its falls for

[3:17:47] manatee. Will make sure that

[3:17:53] we yeah, okay. So. We're

[3:17:53] definitely keeping item.

[3:17:57] Number one and 2. We're going

[3:17:58] now. 3. We're gonna scrapped

[3:18:04] for. And MISTER Cho said we

[3:18:05] probably ought to just scrap 5

[3:18:08] as well. You know what you

[3:18:09] said that?

[3:18:11] >> believe that it's I it's

[3:18:11] going to be in the other ones

[3:18:15] for sure. Yeah. Militants one

[3:18:16] that you guys think that we

[3:18:18] want to. But like keeping

[3:18:20] Boldin citizen. But we do this

[3:18:21] every year to MR. Tatum's

[3:18:25] point. We always ask for more

[3:18:26] money. So instead of has some

[3:18:28] more like to do some things

[3:18:29] that don't to give us more

[3:18:30] money, but allow us to to save

[3:18:34] our money. So I just I don't

[3:18:34] think we needed something to

[3:18:39] be another ones.

[3:18:43] >> More do think it number 5

[3:18:44] as well. I do believe it's

[3:18:45] going to be on both those the

[3:18:48] other and there again. Here

[3:18:51] you have 5 board members and

[3:18:53] with consortium, an you have

[3:18:57] 100 100's so. That's going to

[3:19:02] have a bigger voice so I was

[3:19:03] brought number 5 as well. And

[3:19:07] now we're on the number 6.

[3:19:07] >> I think you can scrap 6

[3:19:11] based on the same Now. Yeah. I

[3:19:12] think 6 is going down. All of

[3:19:13] them.

[3:19:16] >> Yeah, I'm okay.

[3:19:16] Commissioner honor members

[3:19:20] about number 6. Because we do

[3:19:21] another one we ask for and

[3:19:26] yeah. Source kovr, number 7

[3:19:30] and now we're number

[3:19:31] >> this is not been resolved

[3:19:37] yet. Has it I don't think

[3:19:38] it'll call, I do know, during

[3:19:40] one of my meetings. That came

[3:19:45] up. But I can't remember where

[3:19:46] we My notes are home on my

[3:19:47] desk for that one. And this,

[3:19:49] you know, this over the last,

[3:19:53] you're too. This has been a

[3:19:54] >> you notice and changed a

[3:19:55] little bit here. Florida

[3:19:57] debated even

[3:19:58] >> Obviously there's federal

[3:20:01] and state laws about. Having a

[3:20:04] firearm near school. And you

[3:20:05] can see the language. This is

[3:20:06] about what we just saw, that

[3:20:07] school district own property

[3:20:11] or this building right?

[3:20:11] >> And that and that's to

[3:20:14] clarify. The law. Again, it's

[3:20:19] it's a you know, education.

[3:20:21] Yeah. Committee related. So

[3:20:23] this, you know, you could now

[3:20:25] are going one way or another

[3:20:26] and just explaining to why it

[3:20:27] was put on as last year during

[3:20:28] this time. This was kind of a

[3:20:31] hot topic, right?

[3:20:31] >> the climate and we were

[3:20:34] there all very concerned

[3:20:34] about.

[3:20:35] >> What what could happen. You

[3:20:37] know, I

[3:20:41] >> non school.

[3:20:42] >> Related properties, but

[3:20:44] that her district own. So

[3:20:51] right, such as I right. So I

[3:20:52] don't mind scrapping that one

[3:20:56] as MR. Kennedy, I do. My

[3:20:56] scrapping either my memory

[3:20:57] could be faulty. But I thought

[3:20:58] the debate last year was more

[3:20:59] about higher education.

[3:21:00] >> The debate was about to

[3:21:05] allow open carry and

[3:21:05] universities, colleges not k

[3:21:06] through 2 well known. That

[3:21:08] part of that.

[3:21:09] >> Ksat, 12 as part of ok was

[3:21:11] about government buildings in

[3:21:12] general.

[3:21:13] >> Right. Like this building

[3:21:15] on the a c know there a need

[3:21:16] for this. Got left government

[3:21:17] building. Think you forever

[3:21:20] action. Wright was more now as

[3:21:23] more director. Okay. Word. We

[3:21:26] have 2 items now. Item number

[3:21:30] one. And number 2, my desk is.

[3:21:34] Concerning. Bayshore. I think

[3:21:36] that before are you moving

[3:21:37] appropriations? Well, can I

[3:21:39] jump to priority? Yeah. Go

[3:21:41] ahead. Sorry. Before we get

[3:21:42] appropriation time, are going

[3:21:45] to be a upon that year? Your

[3:21:47] preparation. He wanted to be a

[3:21:48] priority. We're going to be

[3:21:49] that. I just don't think it's

[3:21:50] going to be a little bit of a

[3:21:52] go ahead. Get a hat, ok? You

[3:21:53] go ahead.

[3:21:54] >> Mind maybe a little bit

[3:21:55] longer. Work on language with

[3:21:59] this

[3:22:00] >> but I I think very similar

[3:22:04] to. What we do with the tax

[3:22:05] collector. I think we're

[3:22:09] dealing with a little bit of.

[3:22:10] Potentially you look around

[3:22:11] the state, charter schools and

[3:22:16] the sales tax. I think we've

[3:22:17] done a very good job of

[3:22:18] implementing in the way we did

[3:22:18] implement it and years ago.

[3:22:23] But I think there's some

[3:22:24] movement among some charter

[3:22:25] schools that are

[3:22:29] >> trying to get. The payback

[3:22:29] from you know, the years they

[3:22:33] didn't get it off. And and

[3:22:36] maybe just a clarification,

[3:22:37] me, maybe I can work with

[3:22:39] staff to help figure that out

[3:22:40] and, you know, missus your

[3:22:43] team and get help somehow just

[3:22:45] clarify the language just

[3:22:46] cause are I've seen some some.

[3:22:50] Kind of one. That is going

[3:22:52] after this money right and

[3:22:55] there was really no do believe

[3:22:56] there's clarification. But I

[3:22:57] think they've won correct me

[3:23:00] if I'm wrong. I think there's

[3:23:00] been a couple counties other

[3:23:04] going

[3:23:05] >> if we start on. So we're

[3:23:07] working with our legal team

[3:23:08] and this and it potentially

[3:23:12] maybe a legal situation. So. I

[3:23:14] guess I'm suggesting we I

[3:23:16] understand what you need and

[3:23:18] I'll work with the legal team

[3:23:20] on drafting something for But

[3:23:23] those cases the MR. D#

[3:23:23] #

[3:23:23] and

[3:23:27] chime in. But that. There's a

[3:23:29] subsection 6 and a subsection

[3:23:31] 2, right? Some of these cases

[3:23:34] of subsection, 2, which has to

[3:23:35] do with referendums, correct.

[3:23:36] This is a surtax which is

[3:23:41] subsection 6. So the disc

[3:23:45] reps, the gray in law right

[3:23:46] and what what judge and what

[3:23:52] court is going to rule that a

[3:23:53] surtax in a referendum on the

[3:23:54] same? Are they different?

[3:23:55] Subsection 6, 7, edition to

[3:23:56] the same or different. So like

[3:23:59] pro players play call and

[3:24:00] that's and that's why we need

[3:24:03] to seek the legislative. Fix

[3:24:06] is because otherwise a judge,

[3:24:07] it could be a in a different

[3:24:08] area could rule differently.

[3:24:09] And so well, that's something

[3:24:13] where if you guys want.

[3:24:15] >> I agree with Reese. I think

[3:24:17] it like to get up something

[3:24:17] fix in the statute. Yeah. And

[3:24:19] you don't have to nobody gonna

[3:24:21] waste any money, right? And

[3:24:23] courts. I don't. He's going to

[3:24:24] be I mean, I think if we do it

[3:24:26] now, it's not going to be like

[3:24:28] it wasn't that act like it was

[3:24:30] like right around the chicken

[3:24:31] head cut off, right? Try to

[3:24:33] get this thing fixed. I think

[3:24:33] we do it now. Put in there now

[3:24:34] and start talking about it. It

[3:24:36] could be little bit easier.

[3:24:40] Nothing I want to take and we

[3:24:40] get e-mails. I'm not take away

[3:24:43] the money that we've given him

[3:24:48] or I'm just only That's all I

[3:24:49] got tell I agree. So that's

[3:24:49] good.

[3:24:56] >> All right. So what I want,

[3:24:56] okay, we got down here is

[3:24:57] renewed to ask. We've got our

[3:25:02] 750. I don't want the board to

[3:25:04] consider anything that you

[3:25:04] want to add to the priority

[3:25:09] list. That MAY come up in a

[3:25:10] conversation from other board

[3:25:11] members and other districts or

[3:25:13] whatever that MAY be, they MAY

[3:25:13] not put it on. There's there

[3:25:16] might a good fit for hours. So

[3:25:18] that's that's what I do. When

[3:25:18] I listen different meetings

[3:25:19] are like, oh, that might be a

[3:25:23] good item for us. Mine is

[3:25:28] money. I would like to ask if

[3:25:31] we can get funding to build.

[3:25:36] On to Bayshore. Primarily a

[3:25:37] automotive program like we

[3:25:43] have that parish. Kind of like

[3:25:45] what I'm hoping that we could

[3:25:46] do. I don't know what it would

[3:25:50] cost to. Up. That we could put

[3:25:53] on a motive. Like we have

[3:25:55] building, whatever it is, it

[3:26:00] parish community. And I'm

[3:26:00] going with this because I had

[3:26:04] the idea sent to you.

[3:26:05] Individuals that MAY be donate

[3:26:07] a car. You might need a little

[3:26:10] work. And then you have a

[3:26:11] single mom over here that

[3:26:14] needs a car. So it kind of

[3:26:17] could be full circle deal. And

[3:26:18] I think Bay Shores a good

[3:26:23] place for that. Simply right

[3:26:24] across street from boys and

[3:26:26] Girls Club to so. I think be a

[3:26:29] full circle kind of project. I

[3:26:30] don't I think I don't know

[3:26:31] what kind of dollar amount to

[3:26:33] put on a that would be up to

[3:26:37] construction. That is here.

[3:26:38] MR. Clarke chair, he could

[3:26:39] probably figure that out. But

[3:26:42] that would be my financial ask

[3:26:46] to kind of help. Bill that

[3:26:49] community up over there. What

[3:26:49] you guys think about it? I

[3:26:53] think it's a brilliant

[3:26:54] >> absolutely. I look actually

[3:26:58] for asking money. I don't know

[3:26:59] if I necessarily pigeonhole it

[3:27:02] to just automotive, but Mike

[3:27:04] Workforce development program.

[3:27:04] Lee.

[3:27:09] >> Because I don't know.

[3:27:09] >> obviously going to be

[3:27:10] talking about in the next

[3:27:13] couple will whenever we get

[3:27:15] there today about or what's

[3:27:17] happening, I don't know if

[3:27:17] that's something that was

[3:27:19] already in the plans during

[3:27:20] this minimization are already

[3:27:23] doing that except drop but I'm

[3:27:25] all for the ask of workforce

[3:27:28] readiness and of right now the

[3:27:33] new commissioner is is the

[3:27:35] workforce right So I think

[3:27:36] it's it's great ask dollar

[3:27:40] amount. I'm always shoot for

[3:27:41] the stars. Land on the moon.

[3:27:45] Saw they. 7, 50 Million. Mean,

[3:27:49] all is going to millions hope.

[3:27:49] >> We got out of

[3:27:51] automatically. Just not a of

[3:27:52] things to be to, to, to too

[3:27:56] high

[3:27:57] >> but I could see that

[3:28:00] somewhere between that

[3:28:00] 5 Million.

[3:28:01] >> So I was out let's just

[3:28:05] 900,000.

[3:28:06] >> I'm looking million.

[3:28:06] Whatever they ask is that we

[3:28:07] move to their delegates to say

[3:28:10] what do you think? Obviously,

[3:28:12] Senator Boyd PRESIDENT Going

[3:28:13] want it. We've probably go to

[3:28:17] first and what's realistic.

[3:28:17] Know, when and where they're

[3:28:18] going to be at. What are they

[3:28:20] going to be willing to take to

[3:28:21] the table for us. They MAY

[3:28:25] say. No way of doing that

[3:28:26] right or they MAY say here's

[3:28:29] the next minute so.

[3:28:30] >> I have no in conversation

[3:28:34] with Dr Thomas on previous

[3:28:35] things and I'm MR. Chairman

[3:28:35] been involved in those

[3:28:37] conversations as well. If you

[3:28:41] get to a certain threshold.

[3:28:42] They will not really pay much

[3:28:44] attention to. You have to be

[3:28:45] under it under. What is that

[3:28:50] way? 7.50, for yep. Yet, you

[3:28:51] know to us it's a big deal to

[3:28:53] them. It's kind of like a

[3:28:53] rounding error. So, yeah, I

[3:28:56] think the rounding errors, you

[3:28:58] know, but yeah, 7, 5900, you

[3:28:59] know something under a million

[3:29:01] Ilya and then they don't do

[3:29:02] that.

[3:29:02] >> And a few more attention

[3:29:04] its neck pm on their they've

[3:29:05] kind go a long way to ask you.

[3:29:06] I don't have a problem with

[3:29:08] some 50 and I'm just like.

[3:29:11] >> Asking get what you can

[3:29:12] get.

[3:29:14] >> Why just a suggestion when

[3:29:15] we give time to get back to us

[3:29:16] with your about what the the

[3:29:19] same set up. A parish, what

[3:29:20] those construction not to

[3:29:22] suggest want just come up with

[3:29:25] a link. We need $721,434.

[3:29:28] There you go well.

[3:29:29] >> Manatee County school

[3:29:29] board. They're really on the

[3:29:33] ball. They know it.

[3:29:35] >> that I to buy equipment the

[3:29:36] lift in you know, tire changer

[3:29:36] and all those kind of things

[3:29:41] out. Just something.

[3:29:43] >> Yeah, think it is great. I

[3:29:44] I agree. I don't I don't I

[3:29:44] just going to pigeonhole to

[3:29:47] just that

[3:29:48] >> it could well, we could use

[3:29:50] it for anything again, right?

[3:29:51] Eye like that's the priority.

[3:29:52] But that if we have some

[3:29:53] leftover because I know that

[3:29:54] I've already talked, I will

[3:29:56] say that there's that. I

[3:29:57] believe that there's already

[3:29:59] someone or a role that's very

[3:30:00] similar would get a list doing

[3:30:01] that. That would yeah. Office

[3:30:06] of a tour. Yes. So I just want

[3:30:08] to all on 100% behind you and

[3:30:09] asking for workforce from a

[3:30:13] short for sure. All right.

[3:30:14] >> Thank you, MISTER You know

[3:30:18] that. Yeah. Great

[3:30:22] >> MR. Cooper thumbs up on the

[3:30:23] having a time put that nothing

[3:30:25] gets a veto. But I would to

[3:30:26] the.

[3:30:26] >> We got on top him. We're

[3:30:30] going to make this happen.

[3:30:31] >> start talking to our

[3:30:31] legislators. Know that his

[3:30:36] comment but that that would be

[3:30:36] my dollar ask. And of course,

[3:30:40] we always want the things at

[3:30:43] the top. Those are more policy

[3:30:44] given where this is more

[3:30:48] dollar driven. And I think the

[3:30:49] fsb, a and a distortion both

[3:30:55] through a lot of the policy

[3:30:55] you know what, the statutes

[3:30:56] and that kind of thing. And

[3:30:58] even our consultants that were

[3:31:00] here, they're always on top of

[3:31:00] everything with the new

[3:31:02] changes and what we might do.

[3:31:09] So. See anybody else lit up on

[3:31:10] unless you're still not up to

[3:31:10] talk to fell. No, I actually

[3:31:14] either another thing you're

[3:31:15] going and this just popped

[3:31:16] into my head. I need to do

[3:31:17] some more research. So, you

[3:31:18] know, please forgive the

[3:31:19] vagueness.

[3:31:19] >> That's about to come out of

[3:31:23] my mouth. I've been in

[3:31:25] conversation with with the lp

[3:31:29] and to work in our schools.

[3:31:32] They are not part bargaining.

[3:31:32] >> aids.

[3:31:37] >> Our runs are. Part of

[3:31:39] bargaining with the lpns or

[3:31:42] not. And and they brought me a

[3:31:45] concern that. Because they are

[3:31:49] not able 2. Like the

[3:31:50] bargaining units to be able to

[3:31:56] put their paychecks. Over a

[3:31:57] year like teachers can the

[3:31:59] Ahrens can the Elkins can?

[3:32:00] They? They have to be paid

[3:32:06] weekly. So when they're not

[3:32:08] working during winter break.

[3:32:08] Spring break summer break.

[3:32:09] They are. They are not

[3:32:13] receiving a paycheck. And it

[3:32:13] is my understanding from

[3:32:15] trying to do some research on

[3:32:19] this that this is not a this

[3:32:19] is not a district thing. This

[3:32:24] is this is a state thing.

[3:32:26] >> I'm not I would have to get

[3:32:26] some more information on that.

[3:32:28] If it were me and I had a

[3:32:31] magic wand. Everybody would be

[3:32:35] on a 12 month pay. Everybody

[3:32:39] cycle that you got? 26 checked

[3:32:41] here. It would make it so much

[3:32:42] easier for payroll systems and

[3:32:47] all of But that's out of my

[3:32:48] control, obviously. But if I

[3:32:50] had that magic wand, that

[3:32:50] would be they gassed as we

[3:32:54] would do that no other place.

[3:32:58] Does that kind of payroll? But

[3:32:59] school districts. And so when

[3:33:03] you have So I don't

[3:33:04] necessarily think this should

[3:33:06] that would be a legislative

[3:33:11] ask until we find out. It's

[3:33:12] mandating that or is that Bart

[3:33:15] and Cherry Island Deputy

[3:33:15] Superintendent Eric Jansen

[3:33:18] looked into this quite a bit.

[3:33:19] >> All right. If you like him

[3:33:22] to speak to the topic and it's

[3:33:25] the unusual calendar of the

[3:33:26] school district in there and

[3:33:27] might not working, they don't

[3:33:28] receive their pay because then

[3:33:30] the hourly pay. But if you

[3:33:32] like him to speak to it we can

[3:33:34] certainly brief you all later.

[3:33:34] If you'd like picking them up

[3:33:37] and give us synopsis of an

[3:33:38] apartment, correct in that my

[3:33:39] apologies stance. And because

[3:33:44] this is and trying to find.

[3:33:44] Information, I have not been

[3:33:46] able to find it locally birds,

[3:33:46] but I.

[3:33:47] >> Other people are saying

[3:33:50] that they do it there as well.

[3:33:54] Thank you.

[3:33:55] >> Unfortunately, I know just

[3:33:55] enough to be dangerous not an

[3:33:58] hr professional. So I'd like

[3:33:59] to preface. My response that

[3:33:59] it's something I can certainly

[3:34:05] follow up with Dr Britton

[3:34:06] obviously attorney die to

[3:34:07] maybe get some info. I consent

[3:34:12] to the board. I mean,

[3:34:13] essentially currently the way

[3:34:14] it's constructed as ms

[3:34:18] conveyed you essentially

[3:34:19] salaried employees and then

[3:34:22] you have a group that's hourly

[3:34:24] employees. It has to do with

[3:34:26] essentially, you know, if you

[3:34:28] spread that pay over 12

[3:34:31] months, you're essentially

[3:34:31] paying for time before our

[3:34:33] hours are worked for hourly

[3:34:36] employees in there. Some some

[3:34:37] legislation and some

[3:34:39] requirements around that. And

[3:34:41] then, of course, there's the

[3:34:46] the components of you know,

[3:34:48] how you how you classify

[3:34:49] employees, whether their

[3:34:50] hourly with their

[3:34:51] administrative, how we report

[3:34:53] that to the state. So there's

[3:34:53] a variety of human resources

[3:34:57] implications. And again, so

[3:34:59] Van Rdr, it would be far more

[3:35:00] equipped to speak to the

[3:35:02] nuances of those than I would

[3:35:04] But I believe one of the

[3:35:06] fundamental issues, as you

[3:35:07] know, how those employees are

[3:35:11] classified and then again,

[3:35:12] hourly rate of work. And then

[3:35:13] also, you know, and moving to

[3:35:17] a 12 month, you know,

[3:35:21] calendar. It diminish the.

[3:35:22] Regular paychecks, right? So

[3:35:23] like if you're a teacher who

[3:35:25] takes your pay over 12 months

[3:35:25] since if you're 10 month were

[3:35:29] calendar, you're having

[3:35:30] essentially your paychecks

[3:35:30] reduced over that 10 month

[3:35:35] period 2 to that. Pay for

[3:35:36] other 2 months of throughout

[3:35:42] summer. Right. And so that's a

[3:35:43] consideration to. Again, I'm

[3:35:43] happy to gather that

[3:35:45] information for you. And then

[3:35:47] kind of synthesize it work

[3:35:49] with DR. Are Dr Britain to

[3:35:53] share more detail.

[3:35:54] >> Yeah. And so it would

[3:35:55] necessarily fit legislative

[3:35:59] priority. More chilly. Get. At

[3:35:59] least some more than a bit to

[3:36:02] me. I think bigger wells. And

[3:36:06] we can tap into.

[3:36:07] >> I tend to agree, MADAM

[3:36:07] Chair, I think this is

[3:36:09] something we could handle on

[3:36:10] our own and it's funny mention

[3:36:13] that because I had a couple of

[3:36:14] our lean on bargaining

[3:36:17] employees address this with me

[3:36:18] also. And they again, they are

[3:36:21] hourly. Employees are not

[3:36:24] soured and they're to what?

[3:36:25] MR. Jones was just talking

[3:36:26] about. These are employees who

[3:36:29] essentially. I want to put

[3:36:33] words in her mouth. But you

[3:36:34] find the right way to phrase

[3:36:38] this. They. Essentially what

[3:36:39] the school district to act as

[3:36:41] a savings bank for them. They

[3:36:42] want to set aside each check

[3:36:44] that they have earned. Want to

[3:36:45] take a little piece that

[3:36:45] paycheck and have a district

[3:36:48] hold on to it. So that over

[3:36:49] the summer or Christmas break

[3:36:54] not getting paid, that they so

[3:36:55] statutorily. Can we act as I

[3:36:59] want to cause a bank. But can

[3:36:59] we bank those funds and then

[3:37:00] pay those our lean on

[3:37:02] bargaining later, which I can

[3:37:04] empathize with the these are

[3:37:09] not highly paid and, you know,

[3:37:09] then they're strapped for 2

[3:37:10] months until they get back to

[3:37:14] work in paycheck. Again. So

[3:37:15] that to me is cut was kind of

[3:37:17] crux of the problem, right?

[3:37:19] Can we hold on to their pay

[3:37:20] with their consent, right? And

[3:37:21] then paid out to them later

[3:37:21] when the?

[3:37:23] >> It would be a payroll

[3:37:24] deduction that what actually

[3:37:26] goes an account and at those

[3:37:28] at the end of day was still

[3:37:30] because I do know. Districts

[3:37:34] up north do that. People that

[3:37:36] are hourly have that option to

[3:37:37] get the 10 month on a

[3:37:40] troubling. And if they do 12

[3:37:41] month, it's a payroll

[3:37:45] deduction. And there and this

[3:37:46] our land. That's based on 40

[3:37:51] hour week or if it's one of my

[3:37:52] nieces as a driver drives 4

[3:37:54] hours a day. So if they queue

[3:37:59] Millie, that same paycheck. So

[3:38:00] she's not getting a 40 hour

[3:38:02] week. She's gonna 20 so he

[3:38:04] would get that through those 2

[3:38:07] months. They opt to not do it

[3:38:11] or do it. Does it one didn't.

[3:38:14] So it's just I think it's one

[3:38:15] of those things that we could

[3:38:17] look at as an option for our

[3:38:18] staff if they want to continue

[3:38:20] to have a peril, every. While

[3:38:24] on summer break. I think

[3:38:26] that's something that we're

[3:38:27] not work to do our own. But

[3:38:28] again, enough adding more to

[3:38:30] the payroll department.

[3:38:30] >> as

[3:38:33] >> another layer that re need

[3:38:36] to look into to such a.

[3:38:39] Massive part of our operation.

[3:38:41] So I don't think that would be

[3:38:43] a legislative thing. I think

[3:38:43] that beam internal thing. I

[3:38:45] agree end up in bright that

[3:38:48] would be an option that staff

[3:38:51] would have to opt into. And

[3:38:51] then we got to figure out how

[3:38:56] to manage that. At the end of

[3:38:57] payrolls normal cycle for

[3:38:59] those our Lea's board members,

[3:39:03] we can look for some. Legal

[3:39:04] interpretation as well on that

[3:39:07] to be sure that we're even

[3:39:08] allowed to write and

[3:39:10] voluntarily with full or so

[3:39:11] Verstappen. Get look at legal

[3:39:13] opinion on it. Yeah. Don't

[3:39:14] even know if we can do

[3:39:16] something like that. But

[3:39:17] >> that wasn't that was on my

[3:39:19] list for my next board

[3:39:23] briefing. So off. Okay. On

[3:39:27] Friday. So I have lit up MR.

[3:39:28] Kennedy, you're still in.

[3:39:32] Comes all right. Soda narrow

[3:39:35] down our. Item on our agenda.

[3:39:38] We have to. Priorities and

[3:39:44] we're going to work on. MR.

[3:39:45] Kennedy is going to work on

[3:39:45] pre k as listed on Greater

[3:39:49] floor consortium. Languishes.

[3:39:49] See if that's something we

[3:39:52] want to add. And then

[3:39:52] appropriation request would

[3:40:01] be. Up to whatever. $158,000

[3:40:02] $244 and $0.38 19 said own it.

[3:40:07] What think that that awesome

[3:40:10] create a workforce. Did you

[3:40:13] call that forced development

[3:40:14] development? Right? Workforce

[3:40:15] development facility at

[3:40:18] Bayshore High And I the

[3:40:21] principles all and for looks

[3:40:25] like it. Good Last now is just

[3:40:28] something that came to my mind

[3:40:28] the last 3 days. I is just

[3:40:30] something be pretty cool to

[3:40:32] have that because we would

[3:40:35] have that unit out the Parish

[3:40:37] and then we would have it kind

[3:40:40] of central West part of county

[3:40:41] jail. I think the students

[3:40:43] would enjoy that kind of a

[3:40:46] program, any kind of

[3:40:47] development program out there

[3:40:51] would be good. I think. So.

[3:41:01] That is item 4 point. 5. So

[3:41:04] now we are on to item number

[3:41:06] 4.6 ridge is a school board

[3:41:08] policies, MR. Chapman. Yeah,

[3:41:10] thank you. Top of that, they

[3:41:15] just have a you approved the

[3:41:17] advertisement of 2 policies.

[3:41:20] So we're here to just and like

[3:41:22] we do discuss them. If if

[3:41:23] needed.

[3:41:23] >> So

[3:41:27] >> behind me are the my

[3:41:30] colleague experts. If there's

[3:41:31] questions so the first one 84.

[3:41:34] 0, 5, that's essentially are

[3:41:38] >> safety and security policy

[3:41:40] do a lot with threat

[3:41:42] management lately. I think

[3:41:45] Steve's So if you have any

[3:41:45] question, Steve Kerr says

[3:41:50] here, looked at the edits made

[3:41:51] there, MAY be. Steve, you want

[3:41:56] to just? Even overview. Come

[3:41:59] of just Steve is our

[3:42:03] management coordinator.

[3:42:04] Doesn't credit job. If you

[3:42:06] want to just kind of run,

[3:42:10] Steve, just all these. Updates

[3:42:11] are about from legislative in

[3:42:16] statute changes okay. The

[3:42:17] updates they're only updates.

[3:42:19] Really not additions to. And

[3:42:22] there. I don't know what pages

[3:42:22] on what you have under threat

[3:42:26] management coordinator. The

[3:42:28] first group first Green

[3:42:28] highlighted second. I think

[3:42:30] it's if you if you're just

[3:42:32] scrolling, I have it on the

[3:42:32] screen yet on the screen have

[3:42:38] about that. So we had a

[3:42:38] distinguished between the

[3:42:39] primary and the secondary

[3:42:42] threat management coordinator.

[3:42:48] Owner was in addition. To the

[3:42:49] administrative rule that the

[3:42:50] district's needed a secondary

[3:42:50] threat management coordinator

[3:42:54] as well. And it changed the

[3:42:54] date from JULY. 1st to AUGUST.

[3:42:59] 1st. For the superintendent to

[3:42:59] get that information to the

[3:43:02] office Safe Schools.

[3:43:03] >> So this is basically saying

[3:43:06] we need a backup.

[3:43:09] >> every district in the state

[3:43:09] needs to.

[3:43:10] >> port, right. And I think

[3:43:13] that's Great Amendment to

[3:43:17] Yeah.

[3:43:17] >> I will keep going here and

[3:43:18] they bringing up on the

[3:43:25] screen. Cross out. But right.

[3:43:27] Just go or shrinking number of

[3:43:30] these pages of bomb. That

[3:43:31] really difficult. What you see

[3:43:32] up on the screen now is just

[3:43:36] again in update.

[3:43:36] >> Of the language that make

[3:43:39] sure that we at least 4 people

[3:43:40] are for individuals to teach

[3:43:41] schools. Threat management

[3:43:46] team. Pretty straight forward.

[3:43:54] Along with the principal. One

[3:43:59] b is basically saying that.

[3:43:59] The school administrator must

[3:44:02] not be part of the sb tmt. The

[3:44:03] school principal must not be

[3:44:05] the school administrator in

[3:44:06] the last. They're the only

[3:44:15] administrator at the school.

[3:44:16] >> Don here and asked for the

[3:44:22] dog. Okay. Wrecked. Sure.

[3:44:23] >> Kevin, can you back up to

[3:44:27] where you Yes, take a look at

[3:44:34] that for that. And it was

[3:44:35] paragraph 2.

[3:44:35] >> Law enforcement, member

[3:44:36] must be a sworn enforcement

[3:44:42] officer. Including School

[3:44:47] safety officer with that

[3:44:48] include guardians are

[3:44:49] guardians a fallen no, they're

[3:44:49] They're not considered school

[3:44:50] safety officers under the

[3:44:51] definition just.

[3:44:51] >> It has to be a sworn law

[3:44:52] enforcement officers. So they

[3:44:57] have.

[3:44:59] >> Access to criminal history

[3:45:00] information and things like

[3:45:01] that in the Guardian's do not

[3:45:03] have ability.

[3:45:04] >> This is for every school.

[3:45:04] So for elementary school right

[3:45:06] now who was on that team now?

[3:45:07] Because the elementary schools

[3:45:08] all have a guardian, but they

[3:45:11] don't have an sro, correct? So

[3:45:14] if they need to meet as a team

[3:45:14] or whether it's a monthly

[3:45:18] meeting or

[3:45:21] >> on a student, what they do

[3:45:22] is they contact the supervisor

[3:45:25] of the sro unit, whether it's

[3:45:28] on opd or bpd or whatever

[3:45:29] jurisdiction then we haven't

[3:45:32] worked out with certain

[3:45:34] individuals at that agency who

[3:45:35] are trained in law and threat

[3:45:36] assessment and then they go to

[3:45:40] that school. Okay.

[3:45:41] Hypothetically doesn't have to

[3:45:42] always be the same law

[3:45:42] enforcement officer. Correct?

[3:45:52] Just signed by Okay. That's

[3:45:55] omissions. You know, I read

[3:45:58] through some of We had rid of

[3:46:00] some of the old language with

[3:46:01] the sea, stay and updated it

[3:46:03] to the Florida model. That's

[3:46:03] the red that you see it.

[3:46:12] There. Any questions board

[3:46:23] members? Yeah, the next green

[3:46:27] portion is we have to use the

[3:46:28] Florida safety and threat

[3:46:32] management portal we used to

[3:46:35] keep track of things in the in

[3:46:36] focus, but now we are required

[3:46:37] to use threat management

[3:46:46] portal. The transferring of

[3:46:47] records from school to school

[3:46:47] hasn't been done within 5

[3:46:50] days. That was an update as

[3:46:55] well. Calendar days. I'm

[3:47:00] sorry. Calendar days or 5.

[3:47:00] Workday, 5 school school days

[3:47:03] from work. Did the school do

[3:47:09] again? I think that concludes.

[3:47:11] Thank Updates there on

[3:47:14] management. So thank you so

[3:47:14] much. Appreciate things we're

[3:47:19] doing. Thank you,

[3:47:20] >> Second and last policy is a

[3:47:25] new policy for this district.

[3:47:30] It's one of We blessed to have

[3:47:32] a new foster care liaison.

[3:47:34] Susan, good news here with the

[3:47:37] chain. Singleton behind me

[3:47:41] United Way Suncoast helps

[3:47:42] helps to fund Susan's

[3:47:42] position, which is really

[3:47:44] great shows a lot of

[3:47:45] partnership. So this is a new

[3:47:50] policy we need you know,

[3:47:50] something in writing to help

[3:47:53] us That's through these foster

[3:47:54] care issues. And so this is a

[3:47:58] new policy was drafted with

[3:48:01] the help the chain season and

[3:48:03] our and our legal team. If you

[3:48:05] have any questions or here for

[3:48:06] you, but otherwise, this is a

[3:48:06] new policy and will be added

[3:48:19] Board members. Any questions I

[3:48:21] want thank you For putting

[3:48:25] this together. Takes a lot of

[3:48:27] work to look at other

[3:48:28] districts and see their

[3:48:29] policies are and see what our

[3:48:31] needs are. Because, again, not

[3:48:34] ever districts the same, you

[3:48:39] know, but different people And

[3:48:40] different roles. And we're

[3:48:41] blessed to have fusion. Glad

[3:48:43] that you're working on that.

[3:48:44] Something came out of that

[3:48:47] summit didn't.

[3:48:51] >> And

[3:51:49] with that, I'll turn it over

[3:51:56] far. Thank you as honored to

[3:51:57] be here talk about this

[3:51:58] project. I know it's a big

[3:51:59] deal for the community and for

[3:52:00] the district in.

[3:52:00] >> We're just honored to be a

[3:52:05] part of it. As you can see the

[3:52:07] screen here, that's the front

[3:52:09] door, the new campus, it was

[3:52:10] modeled after the parish

[3:52:13] Community High School campus

[3:52:15] with some slight modifications

[3:52:18] to improve security and access

[3:52:19] as well as some collegiate

[3:52:21] style improvements to one of

[3:52:26] the buildings up building 6.

[3:52:27] The square footage is roughly

[3:52:29] about 300,000 Square feet.

[3:52:31] Total. That includes day one

[3:52:35] opening with about 210,000

[3:52:36] Square Feet, Building 6, which

[3:52:38] is going to come on line a

[3:52:39] little bit after opening day

[3:52:44] is about 63,000 Square feet.

[3:52:44] And we have a future building

[3:52:45] planned out for building

[3:52:49] number 8. In the bottom right

[3:52:50] hand corner of the site plan.

[3:52:52] That's another 24,000 square

[3:52:52] feet. That's kind of how it

[3:52:56] rounds out to the and to just

[3:52:57] give you a little

[3:52:58] understanding the orientation,

[3:52:59] the building that's star

[3:53:00] represents the front door to

[3:53:03] the campus that that's

[3:53:04] building one and 9 over a

[3:53:05] parish that was combined to

[3:53:07] give a nice secure front door

[3:53:08] with the nice corridor leading

[3:53:10] to the campus itself. As you

[3:53:11] go around counter clockwise,

[3:53:11] you got building 2, which is

[3:53:13] the auditorium building,

[3:53:14] building threes, the cafeteria

[3:53:18] kitchen. Building for us, the

[3:53:19] c e p at parish. That was the

[3:53:23] automotive building building 5

[3:53:25] houses. All of your cte

[3:53:27] programs and 2 storey

[3:53:28] classroom building building 6

[3:53:30] is the one that now

[3:53:30] accommodates your to

[3:53:33] collegiate style lecture

[3:53:34] halls. And that's also a

[3:53:36] two-storey classroom building.

[3:53:38] And then building 70's, you

[3:53:40] gymnasium your in your locker

[3:53:42] rooms and you're going to the

[3:53:45] artificial turf. That's your

[3:53:45] new district standard. Going

[3:53:46] beyond your stadium to house

[3:53:49] about 4,000 seats. Nice

[3:53:51] baseball and softball

[3:53:52] amenities as well as kind of

[3:53:56] like some ag land for for

[3:53:57] growth future beach.

[3:53:57] Volleyball was even planned

[3:54:03] out there. So.

[3:54:03] >> question. And I have yet

[3:54:04] you have before you go if

[3:54:05] you're going to hit on another

[3:54:09] page, that's fine. The

[3:54:10] obviously I see that future

[3:54:12] building a little box. That's

[3:54:13] there. What's a little box

[3:54:18] that's in art agricultural

[3:54:18] area.

[3:54:19] >> That just represents where

[3:54:21] kind of the the animal pens

[3:54:23] would be. So got made to some

[3:54:25] of those things have to be a

[3:54:26] building or something along

[3:54:26] those lines of not not a full

[3:54:29] building. Like I covered. Here

[3:54:31] all record. Okay. The other

[3:54:33] question I had was. Up there

[3:54:39] to the left. Agriculture, at

[3:54:40] least on this one on about

[3:54:41] Yeah. There's it doesn't look

[3:54:43] like a parking lot. Now.

[3:54:46] Between that practice field,

[3:54:47] is that going to be? Because I

[3:54:50] look at this. My only concern

[3:54:52] is to get to the stadium.

[3:54:54] Baseball softball. That's a

[3:54:55] pretty good walk from the

[3:54:58] parking So handicap, if that

[3:55:00] is that going to be

[3:55:02] potentially handicap parking

[3:55:04] space that they can then get

[3:55:05] there quicker easier. That's

[3:55:09] exactly what we've provided.

[3:55:10] Its give you access for those

[3:55:11] individuals. Also police

[3:55:12] access ambulance to the state

[3:55:13] that it is not okay, not as

[3:55:14] well. Not thanks.

[3:55:17] >> you talking about Trump?

[3:55:17] >> So when you look at the top

[3:55:21] yeah.

[3:55:22] >> Yeah. Perfect. All right.

[3:55:26] Thank you greater great job

[3:55:26] doubt on that. I have it shows

[3:55:29] like a little parking area.

[3:55:31] Yeah. Yeah. Unique Aaron

[3:55:33] accessible because that was

[3:55:36] the closest and

[3:55:37] >> You know, I think one of

[3:55:39] the the issues with parish

[3:55:41] currently and this MAY not,

[3:55:42] you know, the school MAY or

[3:55:42] MAY not get as big as Parrish.

[3:55:44] Who knows, right? I think it

[3:55:49] will is the guest parking.

[3:55:51] Yes. So parishes like 4 spot

[3:55:54] and it's full like that,

[3:55:56] right? Yeah. So is that the

[3:56:00] same amount here? Very sure

[3:56:01] that bigger. Improve that as

[3:56:02] So we've met with the

[3:56:03] principal. We've got was a lot

[3:56:04] of staff we today. Sure at

[3:56:04] meeting of the project to

[3:56:06] identify what were the

[3:56:07] >> shortcomings are and ask

[3:56:08] that could be improved the

[3:56:09] parish and that every one of

[3:56:11] them brought up. We've more

[3:56:12] than doubled that potential

[3:56:13] parking area. And then just

[3:56:14] out of curiosity to obviously

[3:56:17] with the admin is where is the

[3:56:19] actual true entrance to the

[3:56:21] school like, hey, this is the

[3:56:22] one spot you're going into

[3:56:24] that. That's where the stars

[3:56:26] are. So the started really got

[3:56:28] mom or Some cars or cars

[3:56:29] coming off of Post Oak got

[3:56:31] into the school part to stop

[3:56:31] parking. So there are they

[3:56:34] coming off of like further

[3:56:35] down south? So we have

[3:56:37] multiple access points. Okay.

[3:56:39] Main point of access comes off

[3:56:41] of a post Boulevard. It's kind

[3:56:42] of the century here with the

[3:56:43] red starts. That's where like

[3:56:45] the main entry to the campus

[3:56:46] with me.

[3:56:48] >> And that's that red denotes

[3:56:48] little part of So there is no

[3:56:50] spot be going to like this one

[3:56:52] still has one of the staff

[3:56:53] parking but staff will come in

[3:56:56] a whole different staff with

[3:56:58] access off of that bus loop.

[3:56:59] Is another access point off of

[3:57:01] post that's not really

[3:57:03] depicted here. That one is is

[3:57:03] intended to be at. The gates

[3:57:05] will open up when you're

[3:57:08] leaving. But as far as it's

[3:57:08] controlled chaos and what not

[3:57:10] to so and students would be

[3:57:11] off to the side down the

[3:57:11] bottom down on the bottom

[3:57:14] left. Yes, go. Think.

[3:57:15] >> So you're saying you're

[3:57:17] coming in from where this taps

[3:57:23] most road and you're coming in

[3:57:24] way down. I'm going up are no,

[3:57:24] no, no, I'm going all the way

[3:57:25] up by the star.

[3:57:29] >> Right here. There's

[3:57:31] interest by staff that's going

[3:57:32] to be just exit for staff is

[3:57:34] going to exiting there.

[3:57:37] >> So that's not for guests to

[3:57:38] come in because you're saying

[3:57:39] you gotta go all the way

[3:57:39] around the bus loop basically

[3:57:42] to get up to the admin

[3:57:42] building.

[3:57:43] >> So no, the guests will be

[3:57:44] coming in down just north of

[3:57:47] the north around here on this

[3:57:48] board here. It's kind of down

[3:57:49] in the bottom, right? So

[3:57:50] that's where guests would come

[3:57:51] in. There's access point to be

[3:57:52] able to get in there and ride

[3:57:55] too. The parking we're trying

[3:57:55] not to make them have to do

[3:57:56] the full loop. So there's

[3:57:58] multiple points around.

[3:57:59] >> I can see where you talk

[3:58:01] about we go cut to the right

[3:58:02] real correct Your guys is

[3:58:04] image does show There's an

[3:58:06] additional access point up

[3:58:08] there as well. So it's

[3:58:09] slightly different between

[3:58:11] this image and that. But that

[3:58:12] is what you're going to get.

[3:58:12] There could be multiple as he

[3:58:15] You. Yes.

[3:58:16] >> So when when I got a

[3:58:19] parish, which I do frequently,

[3:58:20] they have to parking

[3:58:21] handicapped parking spaces and

[3:58:24] for visitor spots. We're just

[3:58:25] talking about. Yeah, yeah. And

[3:58:28] mean, why the admin building?

[3:58:29] Yes and well. And this is

[3:58:30] going to there's more than

[3:58:32] double than what parish had

[3:58:33] new location because then

[3:58:34] driving around trying to find

[3:58:35] some other location.

[3:58:37] >> work. Yeah. So it's going

[3:58:40] to get your side. Yes, okay.

[3:58:43] Just improving.

[3:58:46] >> That would be granted. So

[3:58:46] on on the screen that I'm

[3:58:52] looking Post road. You go up

[3:58:56] for that looks like a gate.

[3:58:58] Off a post road in parking.

[3:58:59] That's only going to be open

[3:59:04] during. Operations of coming

[3:59:05] into school and leaving

[3:59:06] school. It's not going to be a

[3:59:11] guest. Entrance at all. That's

[3:59:12] that's primarily for leaving

[3:59:14] school hours. All right. Okay.

[3:59:16] So you're still going to have

[3:59:18] to one of these for range land

[3:59:21] right? You can come in off a

[3:59:23] post ill that further

[3:59:24] downright down here go all the

[3:59:26] way around. And Lou, you're

[3:59:28] going to do all of that

[3:59:29] looping. I see what you're

[3:59:30] saying. We're going to go

[3:59:32] south of the student parking.

[3:59:32] Alright, guess us north.

[3:59:36] Maybe. And wind around to the

[3:59:36] other part of the parking and

[3:59:40] the way over.

[3:59:41] >> MR. Craig, there's a

[3:59:42] doughnut hard to see on the

[3:59:42] right. And we went out a

[3:59:46] little the right

[3:59:48] >> There's the All right.

[3:59:49] That's our looking for that.

[3:59:52] Like is But now I see it.

[3:59:53] >> they'd also like to add

[3:59:55] that we're adding a traffic

[3:59:56] signal at fact that

[3:59:58] >> Remember portion them.

[4:00:03] >> from coming north or South.

[4:00:04] Still that be assigned their

[4:00:09] guest parking. The main

[4:00:13] entrance There will be with an

[4:00:16] I on the whole loop. That's

[4:00:16] what I do. It parish every

[4:00:18] time I end up in that loop

[4:00:24] somehow okay. So I coming out.

[4:00:32] There is terrible trust MAY

[4:00:33] have been tempted to take my

[4:00:33] dogs right over the curve. But

[4:00:39] I didn't. Figures camera. Do

[4:00:40] there be a cut through right?

[4:00:40] Will right here coming right

[4:00:46] on post and going listen up.

[4:00:47] You got a few feet and you're

[4:00:48] right there cut. Yes, okay.

[4:00:48] And then that will take you

[4:00:53] around to app. Okay. Gotcha.

[4:00:54] Sorry. Sometimes it takes me a

[4:00:57] little bit nowhere. Division.

[4:00:59] Ok, have you lit up in of Mr?

[4:01:02] Cheney good? No, I have some

[4:01:07] questions. Okay, but thanks.

[4:01:07] >> So a few questions about

[4:01:10] what's going on in the picture

[4:01:10] here. Details other covered

[4:01:13] walkways between these

[4:01:13] buildings There's going to be

[4:01:14] a covered walkway that

[4:01:15] connects every single building

[4:01:16] entrance to the main

[4:01:18] administrative area. Good to

[4:01:26] know. The other one of my.

[4:01:26] Concerned those. But that way

[4:01:28] as we were talking about

[4:01:29] earlier, think you were here,

[4:01:29] but about landscaping,

[4:01:31] infrastructure and things like

[4:01:32] that I wasn't one of our high

[4:01:35] schools on day one of school

[4:01:37] this year and there's a

[4:01:38] there's area by one of the

[4:01:42] entrances that If you want a

[4:01:43] 40 foot by 30 foot square and

[4:01:46] inside there. It's just a

[4:01:49] bunch of dirt and but it was

[4:01:54] filled with water. And so. The

[4:01:57] Guardian was standing there. I

[4:01:58] got to talking to him and

[4:02:00] said, is this always flood

[4:02:01] like this? Because I guess

[4:02:02] rained the night before couple

[4:02:02] days prior. The said, this

[4:02:06] whole area floods. And a

[4:02:07] really good, you know, and and

[4:02:07] actually had to move the ball

[4:02:09] system out of the way so that

[4:02:10] it doesn't know what didn't

[4:02:11] get damage. And then oh, by

[4:02:14] the way, the roads. The drains

[4:02:15] from the top of the road all

[4:02:18] plugged up and but anyway, and

[4:02:21] then he said, look over there

[4:02:22] on fans with a door. You know,

[4:02:23] you look over there, you can

[4:02:24] see where the flooding comes

[4:02:25] up sure enough there you can

[4:02:26] see like a grass line where

[4:02:28] the water comes up and that.

[4:02:33] Do we think you think about

[4:02:35] Maybe you're doing a lot the

[4:02:35] question, but how do we avoid

[4:02:36] that in the future looks, but

[4:02:37] that we like first of all, we

[4:02:39] could. Why isn't that little

[4:02:41] 40 by 30 area? They're just 0

[4:02:42] skate because what's happening

[4:02:43] is there's actually a drain

[4:02:45] there. And as I was talking to

[4:02:46] Guardian who said it been like

[4:02:46] that for the 7 years, he's

[4:02:50] been in the school. As someone

[4:02:51] from the janitorial staff

[4:02:52] comes out with a rake and

[4:02:53] starts rake in the great the

[4:02:54] drain open right. And the

[4:02:55] reason to get plugged is

[4:02:56] because there's a tree above

[4:02:57] it. And there's dirt and grass

[4:03:01] just plug drain. And so it was

[4:03:02] her. That would be one way to

[4:03:04] help that the dream would be

[4:03:05] open and it would be just flow

[4:03:05] off tsunami. Just wonder how

[4:03:08] things like this. We don't

[4:03:09] think about them as we're

[4:03:10] designing our our schools with

[4:03:13] more 0 skipping more turf.

[4:03:13] Let's start. Let's cross

[4:03:16] Leslie's and all that stuff

[4:03:17] going.

[4:03:18] >> We definitely think about

[4:03:19] and we try to be mindful of

[4:03:20] where the kids can be

[4:03:21] congregating. How do they flow

[4:03:22] through the school? And we

[4:03:24] want to provide hearts keeping

[4:03:25] those areas, right. But we

[4:03:26] also don't want to spend too

[4:03:27] much money on Harts Cape

[4:03:29] because then that becomes very

[4:03:29] costly for schools as well. So

[4:03:31] there's kind of a fine

[4:03:33] balance. We definitely make

[4:03:34] sure that we're mindful of if

[4:03:35] we're going to put trees

[4:03:35] there, what type of tree is

[4:03:38] what kind of droppings are

[4:03:38] going to occur from that tree?

[4:03:40] We don't want to plug up any

[4:03:41] drainage, but there's

[4:03:42] definitely a lot of thought

[4:03:43] and time put into just the

[4:03:45] overall during to the campus.

[4:03:46] And then just how much site

[4:03:48] sidewalks to we put and that

[4:03:52] type of landscape.

[4:03:55] >> Well, you want to go. That

[4:03:56] was Braden River High School

[4:03:56] are on the western front. So

[4:03:57] you might just go take a look

[4:03:58] at that because, however, that

[4:03:59] got designed was a good

[4:04:01] design, right? That there's a

[4:04:06] big tree there. 3rd, drain,

[4:04:07] lower the that some of outside

[4:04:08] of the school property

[4:04:09] property. But, you know, to

[4:04:11] the drainage pond, the there's

[4:04:12] a big tree over top of the

[4:04:14] roof. And there's pipes that

[4:04:15] come down. They're supposed to

[4:04:17] drain the water off the roof

[4:04:17] there. But there are all

[4:04:18] clogged up from the years of

[4:04:21] we use falling on you know,

[4:04:22] these are little things like

[4:04:24] that. Little things like, you

[4:04:25] know, we built a high school

[4:04:30] with. For 2020 to 2200

[4:04:31] students with for parking spot

[4:04:32] for a visitor parking spots.

[4:04:33] You know, I just I just wonder

[4:04:36] how those. People who have

[4:04:37] been doing this for 25 or 30

[4:04:42] years. Don't think about that

[4:04:43] or how that doesn't get

[4:04:45] included. Does part of the

[4:04:49] it's like what makes a the

[4:04:50] difference between its

[4:04:50] attention detail. That's what

[4:04:51] I'm looking for. A way that

[4:04:52] makes a good school. You know,

[4:04:54] you're Europe. Imagine this.

[4:04:57] You're a parent and you have

[4:04:58] this beautiful new school that

[4:05:00] gets built and real proud of

[4:05:00] it. It's in your community.

[4:05:02] It's parish community high

[4:05:03] school. And so you have to

[4:05:04] drive up there one day because

[4:05:06] I don't know your child is

[4:05:06] sick. It's going to have to go

[4:05:10] pick them up. And take them

[4:05:12] home and it's raining and then

[4:05:16] you drive up there and there's

[4:05:17] for visitors lot and they're

[4:05:18] all taken. And then all the

[4:05:20] students slots are taken. So

[4:05:24] now you're. Quarter mile out

[4:05:25] and parking lot, trying to

[4:05:28] find somewhere to park and

[4:05:29] maybe it could be if we had 10

[4:05:30] slot that all be taken. But it

[4:05:32] just seems. If I were

[4:05:34] designing a school, I would go

[4:05:35] we're going to 2200 students

[4:05:36] here, we're going to be and I

[4:05:40] don't know 12, 15. I don't

[4:05:41] that. Help me understand how

[4:05:42] those things booked through in

[4:05:45] in a different way. Then then

[4:05:46] because we know it's it's not

[4:05:47] like it's the first school

[4:05:47] we've ever built in their own.

[4:05:50] So book ahead.

[4:05:51] >> I mean, a lot of things

[4:05:52] could be playing factors into

[4:05:53] their that identified a couple

[4:05:54] of different challenges,

[4:05:57] right? It MAY have been that

[4:05:58] they the visitor parking was

[4:05:59] planned to be a certain

[4:06:01] amount, maybe out. And then

[4:06:02] just that never came to

[4:06:02] fruition as kind of a cough

[4:06:05] say savings measure. Not

[4:06:08] totally sure. Braden River,

[4:06:09] both my kids went to that

[4:06:11] school. My daughter goes there

[4:06:11] now. So I know it's talking

[4:06:15] about. Day one, there MAY not

[4:06:15] have been any issues with the

[4:06:17] drainage in that location.

[4:06:19] Maybe the tree has grown and

[4:06:20] over time and with the pipes

[4:06:21] have degraded or maybe created

[4:06:22] some sort of blockage. That's

[4:06:23] not allowing the drainage to

[4:06:25] occur. And so now you're

[4:06:26] having a backup. And then a

[4:06:27] combination with that with

[4:06:27] some of the gutter center MAY

[4:06:30] be plugged up. There's so many

[4:06:30] different factors that could

[4:06:33] be there. But I can tell you

[4:06:35] that we do try to think about

[4:06:36] all these things. Whenever

[4:06:36] we're doing a school and then

[4:06:37] we don't just do that. One

[4:06:38] school, we think about what

[4:06:41] was the last cool again, Paris

[4:06:42] being the prime example of

[4:06:42] what we're doing here with

[4:06:43] Triple-a. We met with your

[4:06:45] staff to find out. We're with

[4:06:46] osha short coming so that we

[4:06:48] don't repeat the same mistakes

[4:06:49] week, ongoing process that

[4:06:50] we're going to learn from try

[4:06:53] to adapt and and move forward.

[4:06:56] >> Okay. Women but yes, good.

[4:06:57] I did talk about the zeros,

[4:06:59] keeping that her fetus where

[4:07:01] we can do that. I know we did

[4:07:02] a 30 million dollar renovation

[4:07:04] over Denico, for instance,

[4:07:04] about and if you're driving

[4:07:06] there, there's a as the play

[4:07:11] area probably about. Don't

[4:07:12] know 50 50 feet like a square,

[4:07:16] maybe 50, 60 feet get And when

[4:07:18] it rains, it's just a big

[4:07:19] money pond. And I think how

[4:07:20] much would it cost to put some

[4:07:23] turf 20,000 $1 and $1000 and

[4:07:24] thinking through those kind of

[4:07:25] things? And then what happens

[4:07:25] is that makes the dinners

[4:07:27] lives miserable because then

[4:07:27] it's playing the drug all that

[4:07:28] stuff back I guess I'm

[4:07:31] looking. To you guys and to

[4:07:34] our construction stuff, You

[4:07:35] know, architects of do this on

[4:07:36] a professional basis to say

[4:07:39] how could we the helpful to

[4:07:40] everybody else in the school

[4:07:42] doing more zeros taping, which

[4:07:44] might a drive-up and this will

[4:07:46] cause. But making the jenners

[4:07:48] lives easier and keeping the

[4:07:48] campus clean and helping with

[4:07:51] our drainage problems and

[4:07:55] things like that. You know, to

[4:07:55] be that the back and do with

[4:07:56] it, what I mean, you kind of

[4:07:58] hit the nail on the head.

[4:07:59] There's there's a upfront

[4:07:59] budget cost that we tasked

[4:08:01] with making sure that we

[4:08:02] designed within.

[4:08:03] >> There's usually a long list

[4:08:04] of parameters and things that

[4:08:06] we have to kind of check boxes

[4:08:08] to hit when it comes to those

[4:08:09] heroes, Kate, that the turf

[4:08:11] stuff, it's great that there's

[4:08:11] always a good, better best.

[4:08:15] And those usually have dollars

[4:08:16] associated So if we can't

[4:08:17] afford a one to have all those

[4:08:18] check box is checked and get

[4:08:22] the the best solution. You

[4:08:22] know that there's nothing

[4:08:23] wrong with the best, you know,

[4:08:26] the good solution. And it just

[4:08:27] we kind of go through. Find

[4:08:28] work with construction

[4:08:29] services team to make sure

[4:08:30] that we're providing the best

[4:08:31] facility within the budgets

[4:08:35] that are provided.

[4:08:36] >> Maybe in the future, we

[4:08:37] could get those into the

[4:08:39] budget so that you don't have

[4:08:39] to deal with that like we just

[4:08:40] make it. Part of our

[4:08:41] requirements put on track

[4:08:43] forward. But these are this

[4:08:44] minimizes our long-term

[4:08:45] maintenance issues and helps

[4:08:49] our janitorial staff. I

[4:08:53] minimizing kind of stuff gets

[4:08:53] >> Like and I love with you

[4:08:57] for a second You Nico.

[4:08:59] >> After that project was

[4:09:00] done, I talked to the

[4:09:01] principal. And so what do you

[4:09:06] think? I was on go. Are

[4:09:07] calling a body out. He didn't

[4:09:14] like the. Flooring choice.

[4:09:15] Because it had little ridges

[4:09:16] Senate and it was hard for

[4:09:18] maintenance to or custody.

[4:09:23] Keep that plane. On the other

[4:09:24] hand, I said, well, you need

[4:09:25] something that has some kind

[4:09:26] texture to prevent slip and

[4:09:31] fall. It's that given take

[4:09:33] type balance that you have

[4:09:36] sometimes no school. Have

[4:09:37] Tara, they fought to keep the

[4:09:41] tree. The they wanted to keep

[4:09:42] that tree because it offered

[4:09:47] Chaidh. For the playground.

[4:09:48] And I set and there's nothing

[4:09:50] but dirt around it because it

[4:09:52] shaped no grass is going grow.

[4:09:53] He's not a good option to put

[4:09:58] turf, but and that said, well,

[4:09:58] you say the tree, but you

[4:09:59] gotta keep up with the

[4:10:01] maintenance of audit drops all

[4:10:02] the time run. They they

[4:10:07] preferred to do that but keep

[4:10:08] the tree do keep up debris. I

[4:10:11] think the best trees so far

[4:10:12] down here, our a magnolia

[4:10:14] trees. I've had line. I know I

[4:10:16] thing I get come from. That is

[4:10:18] the blossoms. After they're

[4:10:22] done leaves don't fall off

[4:10:23] even during the fall cool

[4:10:24] season. It didn't freeze or

[4:10:25] anything. Those are low

[4:10:29] maintenance to me. My worst

[4:10:32] rizo tree because it the steps

[4:10:35] they're just a mess. And one

[4:10:36] life they'll bring up, which

[4:10:39] is.

[4:10:39] >> Again, a long-term concern

[4:10:45] of is. Traffic lanes. Are

[4:10:46] there any plan turn lanes and

[4:10:49] any of these entrances and and

[4:10:50] then how how long? They print.

[4:10:51] Since I was driving down

[4:10:51] Lakewood Ranch Boulevard other

[4:10:56] day. So at about 2.15, in the

[4:10:56] afternoon, right. And

[4:11:00] basically the whole way

[4:11:00] there's a hole in traffic

[4:11:01] backed up from, you know, the

[4:11:03] wind is there. If you can see

[4:11:05] it the whole way back with

[4:11:05] people trying to turn right

[4:11:10] going. Mtc news there and then

[4:11:11] the people they're trying to

[4:11:12] turn left going north can't

[4:11:14] get in. And that currently

[4:11:18] ahead, we that MAY be a little

[4:11:19] better and have had that all

[4:11:23] the way back to the ymca. What

[4:11:23] were really were blocking one

[4:11:25] lane traffic. I was a bayshore

[4:11:28] the other day in the morning

[4:11:29] and it was so backed up there

[4:11:31] that I don't think there's any

[4:11:32] turn lane going north on. I

[4:11:33] think it was that 57th. They

[4:11:34] were the road that runs in

[4:11:36] Fort Bay Shore backed up to

[4:11:38] the point where no one can

[4:11:42] turn right. No one can turn

[4:11:42] left. This was in the morning

[4:11:46] people coming to school and

[4:11:48] the people that are behind me

[4:11:49] that we're getting frustrated

[4:11:50] because they were going to

[4:11:50] school that is needed to get

[4:11:51] on to whatever they were going

[4:11:52] to do with their lives. It

[4:11:56] started with a big. Trash

[4:11:57] truck, decided he was going to

[4:12:00] pull out into the other lane.

[4:12:01] Go by everybody. And then

[4:12:03] scoot in between the people

[4:12:03] turning up in the people

[4:12:06] turning right. And then some

[4:12:06] other people, that I didn't to

[4:12:07] get it all just oh, this guy.

[4:12:10] And so now we have People

[4:12:11] going down the wrong way to

[4:12:12] traffic would not facing this

[4:12:14] anyway. You get my point. And

[4:12:15] when I've asked about this in

[4:12:20] the as well gymnast. It's a

[4:12:21] county thing and you can spend

[4:12:25] the money on it Believe in

[4:12:26] those excuses anymore. Let's

[4:12:27] put it that way the county

[4:12:28] thing that we got to get with

[4:12:29] the county. It's just one of

[4:12:31] those where it doesn't appear

[4:12:32] that whoever the traffic

[4:12:36] experts done. A good job.

[4:12:38] Weather and maybe we don't

[4:12:38] have But we should be

[4:12:39] partnering with the county and

[4:12:41] what they're going to take to

[4:12:43] keep this road from getting

[4:12:44] blocked up and people come and

[4:12:45] go to school. How long do we

[4:12:47] have make the turn lane? We

[4:12:48] even have a turn lane of the

[4:12:52] not. Do we get a turn? Lane?

[4:12:52] And I'm just very what

[4:12:53] mitigations that we've done on

[4:12:56] this plan to make it so that.

[4:12:57] Especially for the people who

[4:12:57] are just trying to get on

[4:12:58] their way to go over the need

[4:13:02] to go that that they're not

[4:13:03] going to be frustrated that

[4:13:03] these are 4 lane road. So

[4:13:04] that's helpful. But anyway,

[4:13:07] that's my question

[4:13:08] >> I'll say on this project,

[4:13:08] was done a good job, making

[4:13:10] sure that we all focus and pay

[4:13:12] attention to what is required

[4:13:14] out We've done a traffic

[4:13:15] study. We've had several

[4:13:15] meetings with the county to

[4:13:18] ensure that we are going to

[4:13:20] have proper signal the station

[4:13:22] or stop signs. And we have

[4:13:23] extended turn lanes. We've

[4:13:26] added some left turn lanes. So

[4:13:27] a lot of improvements are

[4:13:29] occurring around this because

[4:13:31] we're being very mindful that

[4:13:33] the premier sports complexes

[4:13:34] right across the street, you

[4:13:35] do have the winds here there

[4:13:37] across the way. So a lot of

[4:13:39] thought has been put there and

[4:13:40] those turn lanes. I don't I

[4:13:40] can't tell you how long

[4:13:41] they've been extended. Some of

[4:13:44] extended some of that added.

[4:13:45] And so we are mitigating that.

[4:13:46] And that's another reason why

[4:13:48] we have the access point all

[4:13:49] the way around to not just

[4:13:52] create congestion on post just

[4:13:55] now Premier Sports Boulevard

[4:13:57] conducting meetings with the

[4:13:57] county.

[4:13:58] >> My family and I we've

[4:14:01] conducted meet with the county

[4:14:02] and had this review and

[4:14:05] identify We need to put the

[4:14:07] signals ation and how much of

[4:14:08] that traffic we're going to

[4:14:11] have our site when school

[4:14:13] starts in one school dismisses

[4:14:13] so that we don't have that

[4:14:16] backup problems to Tatum with

[4:14:18] Pender in traffic on rain to

[4:14:21] him and post road. When we

[4:14:22] begin

[4:14:22] >> Let's admit it hopefully

[4:14:23] we're going to get better at

[4:14:25] doing this with the county,

[4:14:28] for instance. I know it entry

[4:14:29] actually busing. People inside

[4:14:33] the 2 mile circle because we

[4:14:34] opened the school, we didn't

[4:14:36] have the appropriate cross

[4:14:38] walks and sidewalks and for

[4:14:39] them to be able to get safely

[4:14:41] to school. So now it's been

[4:14:42] determined that unsafe for

[4:14:44] them to walk. So now we have

[4:14:46] and more money on

[4:14:47] transportation. Correct me if

[4:14:49] I'm wrong regard prom, we have

[4:14:50] to spend more money on

[4:14:51] transportation to transport

[4:14:53] those students because even

[4:14:53] though we knew what, 5 years

[4:14:57] in advance with, we're going

[4:14:57] to build a school there.

[4:14:58] Somehow when the school

[4:14:59] opened, the cross walks in the

[4:14:59] sidewalks, we're not and were

[4:15:02] not in place and I just look

[4:15:05] at as our responsibility to,

[4:15:07] you know, we're all the

[4:15:08] elected officials in the in

[4:15:09] the county to not let that

[4:15:10] kind of thing happen that But

[4:15:15] his school opens the.

[4:15:15] Transportation safety

[4:15:18] mitigation issues traffic.

[4:15:18] >> Mitigation, issues,

[4:15:21] whatever is there? Is red is

[4:15:23] in place and the excuse of

[4:15:26] well, that's a county thing in

[4:15:27] the coordination didn't happen

[4:15:27] and they wouldn't help. And I

[4:15:31] do. Not trying to be too

[4:15:32] difficult, but its frustrated

[4:15:34] me over the years and I hope

[4:15:35] that it sounds like we're

[4:15:38] gonna do a better job on this.

[4:15:38] >> hear your frustration, as

[4:15:41] we mentioned with right. Part

[4:15:42] of it is they're still

[4:15:43] building the neighborhood and

[4:15:47] developer. Is likely for that

[4:15:50] area responsible for those

[4:15:51] sidewalks. Unlikely that still

[4:15:52] happening, which union when

[4:15:54] even necessarily be the county

[4:15:57] on this. And so providing the

[4:15:59] extra buses for areas that

[4:16:01] still developed is a part of

[4:16:03] our responsibility and we will

[4:16:04] get reimbursement for that

[4:16:08] it's deemed unsafe and tell

[4:16:09] the students are able to

[4:16:11] safely move through the

[4:16:13] sidewalks. So it's not an

[4:16:14] oversight is not that nobody

[4:16:14] was meeting with the county

[4:16:15] are talking to the developer.

[4:16:19] It's when we. Are blessed to

[4:16:21] be able to open a school. In

[4:16:24] an area that needs to school.

[4:16:25] But it's still experiencing

[4:16:28] the growth that experiencing.

[4:16:29] We will see sometimes the

[4:16:30] infrastructures are not all

[4:16:32] there. Nobody did anything

[4:16:34] incorrect. Okay.

[4:16:35] >> I'm saying that the

[4:16:39] incorrect and I just.

[4:16:40] Sometimes it's not it's lack

[4:16:41] planning on everybody's part,

[4:16:42] which is not necessarily

[4:16:44] incorrect. So are you saying

[4:16:48] that the reason that sidewalks

[4:16:48] and stuff are not available

[4:16:53] for the students is because

[4:16:55] the developers haven't put put

[4:16:57] them saying there are probably

[4:16:59] a varied amount reasons, but

[4:17:00] it's still a work in progress

[4:17:01] because of the tremendous

[4:17:02] growth. We're very lucky to

[4:17:05] have the growth. It was a

[4:17:06] great opening.

[4:17:08] >> We had parent concerned the

[4:17:09] transportation worked out to

[4:17:10] provide solutions until it can

[4:17:11] be completely built out.

[4:17:15] That's all I'm saying. Okay.

[4:17:15] >> Well, I think that's

[4:17:16] happened in the past. For

[4:17:20] instance, when we opened up

[4:17:20] well, that was the school year

[4:17:22] that was starting a barber.

[4:17:23] Harvey wasn't construction

[4:17:24] related, but there was a bunch

[4:17:25] construction going on front of

[4:17:28] the school and I just happened

[4:17:30] to be passing by the school.

[4:17:31] And on the Friday before the

[4:17:35] Tuesday before school started.

[4:17:36] And I went in and I talk to

[4:17:36] the principal and it's lot

[4:17:37] construction going on out

[4:17:39] here. You. Confident that

[4:17:40] whatever safety things are in

[4:17:44] place. Whatever safety issues

[4:17:46] you need to be in place are

[4:17:47] here and ready to go. And she

[4:17:50] looked at me and said I'm not.

[4:17:51] And that's what's going on So

[4:17:52] I know people are meeting

[4:17:55] about it. But I haven't heard

[4:17:56] anything in. This was like 4

[4:17:58] o'clock on Friday afternoon on

[4:17:59] the Tuesday before school

[4:18:01] started. And so I ended up

[4:18:03] running back down here talking

[4:18:04] to the superintendent.

[4:18:05] Apparently a couple days

[4:18:08] later, they got a sheriff's

[4:18:08] deputy out there. But this

[4:18:11] just seems to be. Part of Part

[4:18:16] of the whole process of turn

[4:18:17] lanes and crosswalks in

[4:18:18] construction and safe. You

[4:18:19] know, for instance, that Paris

[4:18:20] will not open, right? We had

[4:18:21] his students walking down the

[4:18:24] side of the road the dark

[4:18:26] because there wasn't sidewalk

[4:18:27] there for a while until that

[4:18:29] school got tell it was put in

[4:18:30] I mean, it's just an error

[4:18:33] where we could do better. Be

[4:18:34] honest with I haven't been out

[4:18:35] there. Look at it. I'm going

[4:18:35] on reports that I've heard

[4:18:39] from other people. But it just

[4:18:40] seems like another area for

[4:18:41] improvement that we could work

[4:18:43] on to make things better for

[4:18:46] citizens and cut down our

[4:18:46] >> And I appreciate that. And

[4:18:49] I appreciate any time board

[4:18:50] members here, something to

[4:18:50] bring it so that we can

[4:18:52] address it. So I think you for

[4:18:53] that. I just didn't want you

[4:18:54] think that they weren't doing

[4:18:55] everything. They they doing

[4:18:58] okay. Thanks that. I just

[4:19:01] wanted to say that. I'm coming

[4:19:05] to MR. Kennedy. During those

[4:19:06] construction projects when

[4:19:08] you're building developments

[4:19:10] of that magnitude. You're

[4:19:11] still bringing in heavy

[4:19:15] equipment, heavy this heavy

[4:19:16] that if you're putting in

[4:19:17] those sidewalks and then you

[4:19:19] got to drive the heavy

[4:19:20] equipment over that sidewalk

[4:19:22] or just in a break. It all up.

[4:19:26] So it's all timing. So Dr

[4:19:28] residents point it just grew

[4:19:30] so fast and then look at the

[4:19:31] numbers. Schools rebuilt in a

[4:19:34] short amount of time and all

[4:19:35] the different entities,

[4:19:39] contractors and dress on

[4:19:40] evening hitting the concrete

[4:19:43] scheduled for delivery has

[4:19:47] been challenge. So and then to

[4:19:48] let's not forget that when we

[4:19:48] did start a lot of these

[4:19:53] projects. Everything inflated

[4:19:58] and cost as well. So I

[4:19:59] understand what you're saying

[4:20:00] and I hear your frustration,

[4:20:04] too. But I think we've done a

[4:20:05] good job addressing any of

[4:20:07] those knees, likely debt.

[4:20:11] Further doing the ballpark.

[4:20:12] Schools that know is that

[4:20:14] knowing that they're gonna

[4:20:15] Willis really are well and so

[4:20:16] when those things are brought

[4:20:19] to our attention, I think it's

[4:20:21] they're addressed as best we

[4:20:24] can even if it's beyond our

[4:20:25] control, we go to the person

[4:20:29] that has that control to just

[4:20:30] saw that a show that real

[4:20:31] quick question for turnover.

[4:20:32] MISTER Kent. We have liked a

[4:20:37] tennis court right

[4:20:38] >> yeah. Believe there's life

[4:20:42] tennis courts, right?

[4:20:43] >> Go ahead, MISTER All right.

[4:20:45] Well, as long as don't pet

[4:20:46] projects now, now I've 2

[4:20:47] things I'm MR. I just want to

[4:20:47] address the traffic issue. I

[4:20:51] think if you if you think

[4:20:51] about the campus is you're

[4:20:52] talking about Bayshore high

[4:20:55] school as it looks today.

[4:20:58] Built in their mid 80's.

[4:20:58] Sharon's environs. So Rick and

[4:21:00] every yeah, well, that the

[4:21:04] building to snare now.

[4:21:08] >> that was 90 96 97. 98 97.

[4:21:09] So obviously Bayshore gardens

[4:21:09] look a lot different that long

[4:21:12] ago. And so at Bayshore you

[4:21:12] have this.

[4:21:14] >> One lane in short runway to

[4:21:16] front door, which obviously

[4:21:17] backs out onto the streets.

[4:21:18] Same thing with liquor in Chai

[4:21:22] one lane in little longer

[4:21:23] runway. But one lane in one

[4:21:24] lane out. Unless on the bus

[4:21:26] lane on the south part. So

[4:21:28] that's obviously a backup in

[4:21:28] the street. But the thing

[4:21:29] about parish, we look at this

[4:21:32] design. There's I don't think

[4:21:32] is really going to be much

[4:21:34] back up on the street because

[4:21:34] all that runways within the

[4:21:36] perimeter of the campus, like

[4:21:37] what are you coming from post

[4:21:40] to come in raise so there's

[4:21:44] there's a ton of space there

[4:21:45] for cars to line up and said I

[4:21:45] thought put into that process

[4:21:46] servers there's a lot of

[4:21:48] thought put into that problem.

[4:21:48] Sure.

[4:21:49] >> And we pray that I'm doing

[4:21:50] your. You have a and that

[4:21:51] occasion, I'm glad to see

[4:21:52] we're doing better. Yeah, we

[4:21:55] definitely are think we are my

[4:21:57] pet prime iPad question and I

[4:21:58] guess I'm putting on a risk

[4:21:59] management have little bit

[4:22:02] here. You're like the baseball

[4:22:02] field. The kind that's so

[4:22:03] cool. Like a batter could hit

[4:22:05] a home run into the retention

[4:22:06] pond. You know, like this is

[4:22:07] Bnc Park in Pittsburgh. And

[4:22:10] then I thought it's going to

[4:22:11] be a fence around the Some

[4:22:13] kids going to jump in that

[4:22:14] retention pond to get the

[4:22:15] there will be an alligator and

[4:22:17] then get out. Whoever is our

[4:22:18] risk manager will be pulling

[4:22:19] her hair out make. That will

[4:22:24] be every fan he's hit 8 has a

[4:22:27] fence around its retention

[4:22:29] pond. My correct in that

[4:22:30] MISTER Clark. I was I a huge

[4:22:31] That was my only pet project

[4:22:32] for the campus. I just want to

[4:22:34] make sure nobody gets eaten by

[4:22:35] an alligator.

[4:22:40] >> How they even get in with

[4:22:41] fences? What are you know?

[4:22:43] That they're and saying it's

[4:22:47] >> renewed turtles came on the

[4:22:51] slide for a Go ahead. What

[4:22:57] will the Mr? Clarke was asked

[4:22:58] about traffic study. The

[4:23:00] traffic study is done by our

[4:23:01] Civil engineers who are

[4:23:02] working in conjunction with

[4:23:03] the Manatee County.

[4:23:06] >> To ensure that what we're

[4:23:07] posing and what we're building

[4:23:09] will be able to accommodate

[4:23:09] the amount of traffic that's

[4:23:11] going to be introduced to the

[4:23:13] system. And so based upon what

[4:23:16] we have in our specifications,

[4:23:18] we work with them and with our

[4:23:20] designers to ensure that we

[4:23:23] get as much of that traffic on

[4:23:23] to our site says would drop in

[4:23:26] markets and picking them up so

[4:23:27] that we're not backing up

[4:23:28] traffic Rachel and premier

[4:23:30] sports or any other road. But

[4:23:31] that for that point, the same

[4:23:34] process went into play with

[4:23:36] the other 2 schools that we're

[4:23:37] that we've currently open with

[4:23:43] right ranch and veterans.

[4:23:46] >> And you and school site

[4:23:47] plans and the traffic studies

[4:23:48] we can move forward.

[4:23:54] >> People. All right to bring

[4:23:56] to the table this time says

[4:23:58] Akram McClary from the Bain

[4:23:59] Company was going to be

[4:24:01] discussing the status of our

[4:24:01] construction as it stands.

[4:24:02] That rain to him.

[4:24:05] >> All right. Thank you either

[4:24:08] all, you know.

[4:24:10] >> Also the turn lane that was

[4:24:13] there's a turn lane to the

[4:24:15] main enters.

[4:24:17] >> Francis school along years.

[4:24:18] 44, and that that was renamed

[4:24:21] to premiere recently by the

[4:24:22] county proposed Boulevard

[4:24:22] others. A couple different

[4:24:23] names. When you're looking at

[4:24:27] some of the renderings.

[4:24:28] >> That turned land, I believe

[4:24:29] was 150 feet. And that was

[4:24:31] part of traffic study as we're

[4:24:32] going through the permitting

[4:24:34] through the county, they've

[4:24:36] they've requested that the 500

[4:24:37] feet. So that's gonna be

[4:24:39] pretty extensive in addition

[4:24:40] to hold on tight queuing, you

[4:24:43] have a pretty pretty long

[4:24:44] term. Lynette, that main

[4:24:47] entrance there. So. Just help

[4:24:48] help with that solution to

[4:24:53] little bit above me on there.

[4:24:57] So in that I guess one more

[4:24:58] thing on that traffic study.

[4:25:00] They do a study. They did that

[4:25:00] annually. So that's you know

[4:25:02] what we're going to look like

[4:25:04] in your one with 9th and 10th

[4:25:05] grade. And then what would

[4:25:06] look like with 11th and then

[4:25:10] full capacity. 29 so and that

[4:25:11] kind of extends out. So we're

[4:25:11] we're looking ahead. We do

[4:25:13] that study as well. You can

[4:25:19] see. I won't get into the

[4:25:19] stuff on the left that Yemen,

[4:25:23] the 2500 student capacity and

[4:25:24] where we're at day one and

[4:25:25] then you can grow into that

[4:25:26] with the building 8. But if

[4:25:28] you look to the right and to

[4:25:28] the product, the progress on

[4:25:32] site, this is these photos are

[4:25:35] from about 3 weeks ago. We do

[4:25:35] aerials want a month and

[4:25:38] provide them to the team.

[4:25:39] These are about 3 weeks old to

[4:25:41] come out around the 10th

[4:25:42] weather depending and you can

[4:25:46] see. The cafeteria building

[4:25:49] has a roof on it. It's it's

[4:25:51] tried and were in there doing

[4:25:51] our interior ruff's overhead

[4:25:54] framing is going in. They

[4:25:56] started hanging drywall

[4:25:58] ceilings, snow. So that that's

[4:26:00] moving along really well. The

[4:26:01] c e p is the small building

[4:26:05] next to that the photo, little

[4:26:05] postage stamp square that

[4:26:07] stride. And so we can start

[4:26:08] getting equipment and start

[4:26:10] looking at, you know, getting

[4:26:11] the buildings online on

[4:26:14] service with power, an hvac

[4:26:18] and all that. So transformers

[4:26:18] are coming in and a couple of

[4:26:21] weeks, we'll get those said.

[4:26:22] And so in the month or 2 will

[4:26:27] have power on site as we as we

[4:26:27] move around us, the first

[4:26:32] classroom building building 5.

[4:26:34] That is it's hard to tell and

[4:26:34] that photo, but that's all

[4:26:38] decked out in the slab sport.

[4:26:39] And we're bringing block up to

[4:26:41] the roof there. The next

[4:26:42] building building 6 other

[4:26:42] classroom building. That's the

[4:26:45] one with the collegiate

[4:26:50] lecture halls in it is is out

[4:26:51] of the ground there and coming

[4:26:54] up to tie beams now and then

[4:26:58] the big building next to that,

[4:27:00] our gymnasium they're setting

[4:27:01] steel on that on the lobby

[4:27:02] side now. So if you've been

[4:27:03] the parish that kind of front

[4:27:04] side close to the new building

[4:27:08] that steals going on now.

[4:27:10] Moving around to buildings.

[4:27:11] One on the metal deck is on

[4:27:12] both of those. The roofer

[4:27:17] started late last week. Then

[4:27:21] the auditorium building is

[4:27:22] coming out of the ground block

[4:27:25] is up on that music playing

[4:27:27] towards the center part of the

[4:27:29] campus. And we actually

[4:27:30] started paving yesterday. So

[4:27:31] we do. We do the paving into

[4:27:32] lifts one list to get you out

[4:27:35] of the mud and stuff and then

[4:27:37] you can park on and drive on a

[4:27:37] store stuff on. And then we do

[4:27:41] finalist the paving as we wrap

[4:27:41] up the project. So it all

[4:27:42] looks good and trains good in

[4:27:43] everything repair, any damage.

[4:27:45] And they started the bus loop

[4:27:48] and staff parking today. They

[4:27:51] should be all through staff

[4:27:52] parking by the end of today

[4:27:52] and then tomorrow working into

[4:27:56] the parking. So if you're if

[4:27:57] you're in the area that dust

[4:27:59] bowl, well, it's been raining

[4:27:59] so and hanged us. But the U.S.

[4:28:01] Would be down if it was it was

[4:28:03] dry and it's good to get out

[4:28:04] of the dirt provide some good,

[4:28:07] solid lay down for all the

[4:28:10] traits to keep We also we have

[4:28:12] about 160 workers on site

[4:28:13] daily right now. Everything's

[4:28:17] moving along. That's about it

[4:28:20] on the Any any questions on

[4:28:23] any of that so far? MR.

[4:28:24] Kennedy, have you let up. I'm

[4:28:25] guessing you I don't have

[4:28:34] anybody. The running on the

[4:28:39] right is and his team drew and

[4:28:40] for the project showing what

[4:28:41] it's going to look like. And

[4:28:43] then there's a image from

[4:28:45] about 3 weeks showing where

[4:28:46] we're at today. So it's kind

[4:28:50] of label t can kind of

[4:28:50] progress from what the picture

[4:28:54] was supposed to be. So we are.

[4:28:58] On target to turn the school

[4:29:01] over next summer for MR.

[4:29:05] Dahlquist and his team.

[4:29:07] Started talking with

[4:29:08] purchasing about getting in

[4:29:11] there in APRIL and start

[4:29:12] putting Stephen the admin

[4:29:15] building. So we're on target

[4:29:17] to wrap up have students on

[4:29:19] campus. And I think we

[4:29:20] mentioned earlier the new

[4:29:21] classroom that was added that

[4:29:22] will go into the fall a little

[4:29:26] bit. For building 6.

[4:29:28] Everything's on target looking

[4:29:33] get. If you look at that. The

[4:29:33] construction start date. 12,

[4:29:34] 9.25 You're not even a year

[4:29:37] out.

[4:29:40] >> So he's done a and less and

[4:29:41] him.

[4:29:41] >> And that's what that's the

[4:29:44] day we actually started

[4:29:45] writing contracts and right

[4:29:46] and getting people signed up,

[4:29:47] we actually started pushing

[4:29:49] dirt on FEBRUARY. 15th of this

[4:29:53] year of this year at even

[4:29:55] other teams done a great job.

[4:29:56] Phenomenal how much progress

[4:29:59] has been made in the and that

[4:30:00] short of time. So do we have a

[4:30:01] new banner up saying Range

[4:30:02] Lanaia?

[4:30:03] >> Last time I was by their

[4:30:12] side. Triple a that's Were on

[4:30:13] which aims to the I'm just

[4:30:14] like enter aaa appear. That's

[4:30:17] right.

[4:30:22] >> all Any other questions?

[4:30:26] No, we're good on that. Thank

[4:30:28] you very much. Appreciate

[4:30:29] that. Thank you. That's a

[4:30:30] great update. Appreciate it.

[4:30:34] Looks really good. I want I'm

[4:30:35] guessing we're going to is

[4:30:36] that side of this.

[4:30:40] >> Project.

[4:30:40] >> Yes, ma'am. Thank Thank you

[4:31:16] programming. We want to talk

[4:31:18] about all the wonderful things

[4:31:20] for our MR. Thomas has been

[4:31:21] hard at work. You wonder what

[4:31:23] is MR. Da Office doing? He is

[4:31:25] doing a lot. A lot of research

[4:31:26] planning and visiting because

[4:31:27] we want to bring all the great

[4:31:29] things that we see throughout

[4:31:29] our community. But throughout

[4:31:31] our state and country.

[4:31:33] >> Into our little backyard

[4:31:33] range land. Turned over to

[4:31:37] you, MR. Don't List.

[4:31:37] >> Thank you. Missus,

[4:31:44] Scarborough for presenting

[4:31:47] this wonderful opportunity to

[4:31:52] me to have the in myself to be

[4:31:53] the founding principal. I've

[4:31:55] worked here in the school

[4:31:56] district now. This is my 30th

[4:31:59] year in the school district

[4:32:01] and 2 to be able to take on

[4:32:05] this type of project means a

[4:32:06] whole lot to me. I think it's

[4:32:07] a it's a it's a great way in

[4:32:09] which I'm going to finish my

[4:32:16] career. I believe. Hopefully

[4:32:18] range highs 10 But throughout

[4:32:21] this throughout the process.

[4:32:22] >> And I've only been I've

[4:32:23] only been on the project now

[4:32:28] for a couple months but the

[4:32:29] the hard work, the

[4:32:30] professionalism from our

[4:32:32] construction services, MR.

[4:32:33] Gough.

[4:32:37] >> And then from go Bain and

[4:32:39] and Zach an errand. And then

[4:32:41] David on the project MR.

[4:32:45] Clarke's leadership has made

[4:32:47] has made it very easy to to

[4:32:51] begin to see. The vision of

[4:32:53] the project, but also.

[4:32:57] >> But MR. Bradshaw and that

[4:32:59] at Parish community for

[4:33:03] allowing me to come over and

[4:33:04] take a look at all of the

[4:33:04] great things that they have

[4:33:07] going on. A parish. And some

[4:33:12] ways in which. He contributed

[4:33:13] to making some improvements

[4:33:15] almond campus. So right. It's

[4:33:20] a it's a complete team effort

[4:33:21] here within the school

[4:33:23] district. And I thank everyone

[4:33:25] for answering maybe some of

[4:33:28] the questions that I do have

[4:33:29] occasionally and and being

[4:33:36] very very patient and the

[4:33:38] process. So few things that

[4:33:41] that we are looking as far as

[4:33:43] what we are going to have. It

[4:33:44] range. Lynn.

[4:33:45] >> Just like you just looked

[4:33:48] at all of the the pictures of

[4:33:51] the construction going on. We

[4:33:51] are laying the foundation

[4:33:54] right now. We are going to

[4:33:57] open with 9th and 10th greats.

[4:33:59] So all of the all of the

[4:34:02] things I have listed on this

[4:34:04] slide currently are what we

[4:34:06] aspire to, not necessarily

[4:34:09] what we're going to open with

[4:34:10] day one, but we are going to

[4:34:12] have those foundational

[4:34:14] classes in our 9th and 10th

[4:34:17] grades so that we will. We

[4:34:18] will be the next great high

[4:34:23] school here in Manatee County.

[4:34:24] >> All of our schools, also

[4:34:27] one of our high schools are

[4:34:28] doing tremendous, tremendous

[4:34:33] work for students and at range

[4:34:33] when we are going to aspire to

[4:34:36] do exactly the same. And

[4:34:38] hopefully in many ways we are

[4:34:43] going to take all of the

[4:34:44] different aspects of of our

[4:34:45] current schools and some

[4:34:46] schools across our state in

[4:34:51] the country and these are some

[4:34:51] of some of the programs in

[4:34:55] which we We are looking at, of

[4:34:58] course, I do get questions and

[4:34:59] concerns from parents. Are you

[4:34:59] going to have all of these

[4:35:03] things right from the get-go?

[4:35:04] >> And we are going to have as

[4:35:07] much of it as we can. We are

[4:35:09] going to we are going to have

[4:35:12] all of the courses necessary

[4:35:15] moves 9th and 10th grades to

[4:35:16] support the the different

[4:35:19] levels of rigor. Some of our

[4:35:20] students are going to come on

[4:35:21] and they're they're going to

[4:35:22] be some of the most brilliant.

[4:35:24] Kids you're ever going to come

[4:35:27] across. And then we have some

[4:35:30] some learners who who MAY need

[4:35:31] just those foundational

[4:35:33] skills. So we are going to

[4:35:34] have something for everyone of

[4:35:35] our students when they walk

[4:35:38] through the door and all of

[4:35:40] our la math science, social

[4:35:43] studies, we're going to have

[4:35:46] world languages. All of those

[4:35:48] courses from a a standard

[4:35:50] level to an honors level. To

[4:35:56] that advanced level. Our

[4:35:58] advanced courses of study that

[4:35:59] we are. We are currently

[4:36:00] looking at is the Cambridge

[4:36:06] ace program. That that program

[4:36:07] is. He's very popular here.

[4:36:11] And in the state of Florida,

[4:36:15] many, many years ago MR.

[4:36:16] Clarke's leadership, moment of

[4:36:17] high school. We introduce that

[4:36:19] that program Palmetto High and

[4:36:21] they've introduced and

[4:36:26] Bayshore as well. That

[4:36:27] provides that provides choice

[4:36:29] no choice is very important

[4:36:33] here. And the school District

[4:36:35] and Lakewood Ranch a college

[4:36:40] board. Ap. Campus as far as

[4:36:42] our or advanced studies go.

[4:36:46] But we are. We are actively

[4:36:49] working on that. It's that

[4:36:51] application for Cambridge.

[4:36:56] Cambridge is. Cambridge is

[4:36:57] quite particular about the the

[4:36:59] requirements they have for

[4:37:03] schools and they don't give.

[4:37:04] They will not give final

[4:37:04] approval for you to offer

[4:37:07] those courses the campus until

[4:37:09] they see the finished product.

[4:37:12] And so we've we've actually

[4:37:13] been discussing when are we

[4:37:18] going to be able to? Going to

[4:37:21] go into our science labs in

[4:37:24] our classrooms and storage so

[4:37:24] that we can get final

[4:37:29] approval. In working with with

[4:37:31] Cambridge. They believe that

[4:37:32] 3rd we're going to be able to

[4:37:34] get all of those things done

[4:37:39] next summer. That they can

[4:37:40] actually take a look at some

[4:37:42] of the some of the labs that

[4:37:45] parish that we have because

[4:37:46] there will similarities

[4:37:49] between those 2 kind of give

[4:37:49] us kind of an initial

[4:37:53] approval.

[4:37:55] >> But also we're going to be

[4:37:57] able to offer those those

[4:37:58] Cambridge courses as a sports

[4:38:00] is creates forces, which is

[4:38:01] kind of your your honor's

[4:38:06] level that creates so that our

[4:38:07] students, especially those 9th

[4:38:10] and 10th graders coming in,

[4:38:12] they will be able complete

[4:38:16] that diploma by the end of of

[4:38:17] their time arrange even the

[4:38:17] even attempt graders, even if

[4:38:21] they started in MAY.

[4:38:21] >> And then advanced placement

[4:38:24] to capstone. They'll be able

[4:38:27] to finish that that ace to

[4:38:28] plummet before they graduate.

[4:38:31] One of the one of the great

[4:38:34] things within the state of

[4:38:35] Florida, whether it's an ap

[4:38:36] capstone diploma, whether it's

[4:38:36] an ib diploma or whether it's

[4:38:40] a nice moment. Those students

[4:38:41] who graduate with diploma

[4:38:47] option. Automatically qualify

[4:38:47] for the highest level. A

[4:38:52] bright future scholarship. So

[4:38:54] we save within the school

[4:38:55] district, whether whether they

[4:38:57] get one of those diploma

[4:39:01] options. We save our school

[4:39:02] district. Probably millions of

[4:39:06] dollars every year due to due

[4:39:06] to those those advanced

[4:39:13] levels. And to be honest,

[4:39:14] we're probably going to have

[4:39:18] to have some ap ap courses on

[4:39:20] the campus because there are

[4:39:23] some courses within the

[4:39:25] college board but aren't

[4:39:27] necessarily offer through ace

[4:39:28] or or could potentially be a

[4:39:29] little bit better for our

[4:39:30] students to take someone's ap

[4:39:34] classes. Could be ap. Human

[4:39:35] geography could be a pr

[4:39:36] history. Could be ap calculus.

[4:39:40] >> So we will also also look

[4:39:42] at and what our student

[4:39:45] interests are and maybe where.

[4:39:45] Cambridge isn't necessarily

[4:39:48] meeting those needs and offer

[4:39:51] a few ap courses primarily

[4:39:55] will be that ace diploma.

[4:39:58] We're also going to have dual

[4:39:59] enrollment options.

[4:40:00] >> With 9th and 10th grades,

[4:40:00] that's not necessarily

[4:40:01] something that will have.

[4:40:04] >> Right off the bat, will

[4:40:05] have those same options that

[4:40:07] we have in all of our high

[4:40:08] schools through State College

[4:40:10] of Florida, University South

[4:40:10] Florida, Manatee Technical

[4:40:15] College. I know that. MR.

[4:40:18] Jensen was the Scarborough.

[4:40:19] No, they're currently looking

[4:40:20] at some other institutions

[4:40:24] throughout the state to to

[4:40:26] offer some courses on our

[4:40:27] campuses that are going to

[4:40:31] act. You know that increase

[4:40:32] our acceleration numbers in

[4:40:34] our in our high schools and

[4:40:37] have some courses, maybe for

[4:40:38] students who are traditionally

[4:40:41] in that dual enrollment path.

[4:40:42] Are going to qualify for those

[4:40:45] lows classes. So all of those

[4:40:46] types of things are quite

[4:40:52] exciting. We're going to have

[4:40:53] substantial electives on the

[4:40:54] campus. When you take a look

[4:40:57] at those classroom buildings.

[4:41:01] Really, they're geared towards

[4:41:02] those those electives cte

[4:41:06] classes. You can see that. But

[4:41:10] the the ag program. And where

[4:41:12] we are located at range limit

[4:41:14] is going to be an important

[4:41:15] part, specially our students

[4:41:16] who are coming from little

[4:41:18] farther east. So we will have

[4:41:22] a robust agriculture program.

[4:41:23] Whether it's animal science,

[4:41:26] whether it's coach Porter

[4:41:27] culture, aquaculture, we're

[4:41:29] going to take a look. Lot of

[4:41:33] it depends the the instructor

[4:41:35] and their levels of interest,

[4:41:36] but also the level of interest

[4:41:40] of our students coming The

[4:41:40] advanced Learning

[4:41:44] Technologies. I saw something

[4:41:48] on. Talked to MISTER MISTER

[4:41:50] Hanssen little bit about that.

[4:41:53] That sparked program. The

[4:41:54] weave. Then selected as I

[4:41:56] think one of 5 or 6, she

[4:41:59] school districts and the in

[4:42:03] the state as far as as how we

[4:42:04] are going to handle ai and

[4:42:08] some of the opportunities, for

[4:42:09] course, work in that I don't

[4:42:11] believe ai is not going

[4:42:13] anywhere. It is simply

[4:42:15] accelerating. How are we going

[4:42:16] to? That's position our

[4:42:18] students for when the when

[4:42:19] they graduate from our

[4:42:20] schools. And especially

[4:42:23] rainfall and high school. How

[4:42:26] are they going to be able to

[4:42:27] leverage that when they get to

[4:42:31] their post-secondary studies?

[4:42:33] Primarily, we're going to

[4:42:35] focus a lot business

[4:42:36] marketing, entrepreneurship.

[4:42:39] Some of those courses not only

[4:42:40] through the Cambridge program,

[4:42:43] but also. Some some courses

[4:42:48] that. In addition that our co

[4:42:50] curricular, whether we have a

[4:42:50] or whether we have Decker, we

[4:42:53] have junior achievement. Well,

[4:42:56] there's a whole lot of a lot

[4:42:58] of students who are interested

[4:43:00] How are they going to? What

[4:43:02] are they going to do when they

[4:43:04] graduate? And we're also

[4:43:06] promoting, we're also

[4:43:08] promoting some of those mtc

[4:43:09] classes where students need to

[4:43:12] them. They graduate with us

[4:43:15] with the going to see they're

[4:43:16] going to need to know how what

[4:43:18] what what do you need to do in

[4:43:19] order to start your your own

[4:43:20] business and kind of go out on

[4:43:21] your own? And we're looking at

[4:43:26] that. And also some health and

[4:43:31] wellness. Not only not only

[4:43:33] mental mental wellness, but

[4:43:34] also that that physical

[4:43:40] wellness. Health Science

[4:43:40] foundation's. We did talk with

[4:43:45] a talk with. It's time to see

[4:43:46] you about some potential

[4:43:48] sources that we MAY. We MAY

[4:43:50] build MAY be able to offer

[4:43:50] from a health science

[4:43:55] perspective on our campus. So

[4:43:56] there's while we're very

[4:43:57] early, we're SEPTEMBER 1st and

[4:44:00] we still have 11 months to go.

[4:44:01] To me. It feels like it's

[4:44:02] right around the corner with

[4:44:05] all of these things going on.

[4:44:10] As you can see, we are well

[4:44:12] taken care of in terms of the

[4:44:13] athletic facilities. I know

[4:44:14] that athletics is extremely

[4:44:18] important. Anywhere in Manatee

[4:44:21] but certainly growing out east

[4:44:24] and we have the premier fields

[4:44:27] right across the street. So I

[4:44:27] believe that we're going to be

[4:44:30] able to. Compete. Very

[4:44:35] quickly. Probably mostly at

[4:44:36] the junior varsity level to

[4:44:39] begin I know there will be a

[4:44:40] number of of sports teams on

[4:44:42] our campus that will start

[4:44:44] right away with with varsity

[4:44:47] level sports and then. We're

[4:44:50] going to have all of those

[4:44:54] extracurricular activities,

[4:44:55] the same as everyone else,

[4:44:58] bills will start very small. I

[4:44:59] will do will have national

[4:44:59] Honor Society will invest. Ye

[4:45:02] will have. And choir orchestra

[4:45:05] drama. With the auditorium

[4:45:07] that that's being built out

[4:45:10] there. I I anticipate that all

[4:45:16] of those. Performing arts, we

[4:45:17] will also have the fine arts

[4:45:22] whether Inc. All of those our

[4:45:24] classrooms are on the campus.

[4:45:29] So Raines live high school. Is

[4:45:31] going to grow into being one

[4:45:31] of those one of the premier

[4:45:32] high schools, I believe in the

[4:45:34] state of Florida. And that is

[4:45:38] our goal. And that campus

[4:45:39] right there that you all have

[4:45:42] committed. Tens of millions of

[4:45:47] dollars to. You're going to be

[4:45:49] very proud of of this high

[4:45:52] school and the students and

[4:45:54] staff are at that school. And

[4:45:55] I believe with with this

[4:45:58] group. They're going to bill

[4:46:03] the best possible school. With

[4:46:04] attention to as much detail as

[4:46:09] as possible. I do know that

[4:46:10] traffic. I don't care what

[4:46:10] school you're at. Traf traffic

[4:46:15] is tough. I don't think we

[4:46:16] probably ever anticipated that

[4:46:17] this many parents would be

[4:46:18] able to drive their kids to

[4:46:22] school. We're going to

[4:46:26] mitigate the traffic. We have.

[4:46:27] We have taken that into

[4:46:33] consideration. They did

[4:46:35] Construction services. We

[4:46:36] discussed. We discussed

[4:46:39] parking and and there was some

[4:46:42] talk of. Not necessarily

[4:46:46] paving. Some parts of that

[4:46:46] parking lot right from the

[4:46:47] beginning and they've

[4:46:49] committed to that as well. So

[4:46:52] that will that will. Solve

[4:46:55] some of the issues that I

[4:46:56] think rightfully are concerned

[4:47:01] about.

[4:47:03] >> So the other thing I think

[4:47:05] is a big question is, is what

[4:47:06] not all the programs within is

[4:47:09] that identity of range land.

[4:47:10] So we've worked with Johnny

[4:47:12] Carson, MR. Officer myself to

[4:47:12] survey the community and was

[4:47:13] directed survey to the people

[4:47:14] in that area that would be

[4:47:16] coming in could they afford it

[4:47:19] to the fence? Probably. But we

[4:47:20] had a pretty good turnout from

[4:47:23] that. So we went with the 2

[4:47:25] different parts of First of

[4:47:28] all, we had 600 responses for

[4:47:28] what now, which is a pretty

[4:47:30] good sampling of what was

[4:47:33] sent. The first thing we asked

[4:47:34] is with some key words and

[4:47:35] they could also on the brink

[4:47:35] of things. That would be part

[4:47:39] of the identity for range land

[4:47:39] because I know it has been a a

[4:47:43] mission vision, but I think

[4:47:44] that we're going to follow the

[4:47:46] path of school board and do a

[4:47:47] purpose statement for range

[4:47:48] land as you've done with our

[4:47:49] strategic plan. So we've asked

[4:47:51] for the words that would go

[4:47:53] into that and we have our next

[4:47:55] steps in meeting actually this

[4:47:56] afternoon after this meeting

[4:47:57] with Missus, Carson for our

[4:47:59] next parts of including the

[4:48:00] community in these kind of

[4:48:01] things. So in taking the

[4:48:05] results of the wording will be

[4:48:06] working on the purpose

[4:48:07] statement that movement

[4:48:07] forward. You can see, the

[4:48:09] words that that is important,

[4:48:12] too, that community. For your

[4:48:15] feedback. I know that you all

[4:48:15] are aware, but not everybody

[4:48:18] MAY be aware of the colors for

[4:48:19] the school. So something we

[4:48:21] did very early is looked at

[4:48:22] some samples and pick colors

[4:48:24] because of our prior schools.

[4:48:25] Colors are very generic. And

[4:48:28] then we pick the school colors

[4:48:29] and you'll walk in a school

[4:48:29] like Great river of talk about

[4:48:30] that, that every hallway was a

[4:48:32] different color of some

[4:48:32] primary color and over the

[4:48:35] process is now school colors.

[4:48:36] >> We have selected a palette

[4:48:38] that is within the building.

[4:48:40] We don't have it. So we have

[4:48:43] selected Gray or silver and

[4:48:44] black from my my purple people

[4:48:45] out there. It's a common and

[4:48:52] range and doing the survey. We

[4:48:53] also pulled in from the

[4:48:54] original survey that went up

[4:48:55] to us for so long of naming

[4:48:57] the school, all of the popular

[4:48:59] mascots. And we took the part

[4:49:00] and again, I was our friend

[4:49:03] this and we took the most

[4:49:05] often seen. We checked the top

[4:49:06] ones from that. Put it in

[4:49:07] there for okay out of these

[4:49:08] top ones that run names and

[4:49:09] account course we had to take

[4:49:10] out the ones that aren't

[4:49:12] really names you would ever

[4:49:16] choose for a school might be.

[4:49:17] The Mustangs. It's down the

[4:49:18] road. We're not going to the

[4:49:19] same mascot. Again. We're not

[4:49:22] gonna use the hurricanes

[4:49:23] again. We're not gonna use

[4:49:24] ones that are there. That MAY

[4:49:24] be new and they didn't know

[4:49:25] they're already mascots in our

[4:49:26] area.

[4:49:27] >> We put those for rankings.

[4:49:29] Then we also allow for other

[4:49:30] there could've been a

[4:49:31] community upsurge lasting

[4:49:34] greens. Like the sandhill

[4:49:35] cranes, you know. And and it's

[4:49:38] it's a solid choice, but only

[4:49:39] 11 other people. So 12, you

[4:49:42] really into the sandhill

[4:49:43] cranes. So anyone my

[4:49:44] suggestion didn't make the

[4:49:45] board's.

[4:49:46] >> I know we all have. We all

[4:49:49] had favorite along the way. In

[4:49:50] Aaron and I back in the last

[4:49:51] year, this time we actually

[4:49:53] spent a whole Saturday going

[4:49:54] back and forth on potential

[4:49:55] colors out there. What's not

[4:49:56] around? We had a little bit of

[4:49:59] fun with the sighting what the

[4:49:59] mascot could be and its like.

[4:50:01] Again, we're gonna put out the

[4:50:01] community, see what came up

[4:50:04] popularly. And as you can see,

[4:50:06] we do have somewhat of a

[4:50:06] school district tradition of

[4:50:07] going after some of our

[4:50:11] collegiate names in the area

[4:50:11] and in this. And we did put in

[4:50:14] some natural things like a

[4:50:14] raptor. It's not it's not

[4:50:16] purple dinosaur, but it is

[4:50:20] soda tax anybody thought and I

[4:50:23] did notice And that survey

[4:50:26] Iraq, the Hornets was in

[4:50:29] there. And I was like real

[4:50:31] shocked by that. Has asked the

[4:50:32] team that I close to his

[4:50:32] Hornets and I'm like, somebody

[4:50:35] might have heard me say that.

[4:50:35] But yeah, that didn't make

[4:50:39] cut. I think okay. Have we

[4:50:40] have some very interesting

[4:50:43] names on the survey that that

[4:50:43] were very interesting. We

[4:50:44] enjoyed looking through some

[4:50:46] of them. But the Gators did

[4:50:48] come out as as the popular

[4:50:49] choice from that. So we have

[4:50:54] moving forward with that. This

[4:50:56] is just an ai rendering by all

[4:50:57] means this is not what it is.

[4:50:58] But I know MISTER Gough U.S.

[4:51:01] He's working with with groups

[4:51:02] of then developing the

[4:51:03] branding because it's also

[4:51:04] important in your brand in the

[4:51:05] school that what you choose

[4:51:06] for the mascot and what you

[4:51:09] choose for the coloring. The

[4:51:12] design is not a violation of

[4:51:13] anybody else that they could,

[4:51:13] you know, trying to you for

[4:51:15] using their trademark or their

[4:51:17] colors. So we are in the

[4:51:18] process of doing that

[4:51:18] branding. And that also is

[4:51:20] important see it. All of our

[4:51:22] high schools. You have the

[4:51:22] specific colors that can be

[4:51:24] bought for uniforms. You want

[4:51:24] to pick something that you

[4:51:28] can't get in your dorm, band

[4:51:29] uniforms, anything else? Got

[4:51:31] to be real careful of that

[4:51:31] regulation or graduation

[4:51:32] apparel like that. So we've

[4:51:34] already looked at that. And

[4:51:37] then we'll also be working on

[4:51:38] the lettering. What will be

[4:51:39] the logos? All we need that

[4:51:41] very soon. And the guy's been

[4:51:41] asking this for public 6

[4:51:42] months now, do we have it?

[4:51:43] Because they need to do the

[4:51:46] field in the gym. So that is

[4:51:48] going to be rapidly produce.

[4:51:49] So we're very excited with in

[4:51:50] public the next month or so to

[4:51:50] be able come back and say

[4:51:53] here's the logo hears the

[4:51:54] mascot. Here's all that

[4:51:55] exciting things to that. Of

[4:51:58] course we can start having Is

[4:52:00] al Qaeda rendered things and

[4:52:02] do Yeah. So to be a lot of

[4:52:02] side. It feel to be on the

[4:52:07] journey with us of a brand new

[4:52:07] high school.

[4:52:08] >> I thought it was a pro pre

[4:52:11] it that you all were very

[4:52:13] concerned about the alligators

[4:52:14] and the there's going to be a

[4:52:19] whole lot of gators on that.

[4:52:20] Number sure first purple

[4:52:21] Gators

[4:52:23] >> I love the color. I really

[4:52:26] do. I think that purple silver

[4:52:33] and black is very unique I

[4:52:36] thought it was a county and

[4:52:37] the purple white alike and

[4:52:38] gray black I think the white

[4:52:41] would made it look too.

[4:52:41] >> And after that white will

[4:52:44] be in there a bit as well that

[4:52:46] some some good margins of

[4:52:46] everything. But I like I like

[4:52:49] this rendering. I mean, you

[4:52:52] could face facing the Ridgeway

[4:52:55] looking up down whatever. Like

[4:52:56] I said, there's so many

[4:52:57] variations that you could do

[4:53:00] with that but the callers are

[4:53:05] oppressive. That Issa

[4:53:10] Scarborough and the team. They

[4:53:11] didn't tell me the colors

[4:53:14] right when they We talked

[4:53:15] about the possibilities that

[4:53:18] range just a little bit we

[4:53:21] said purple, but I love the I

[4:53:23] think of this. I think it's

[4:53:25] awesome. I Now that more

[4:53:32] purple I've been looking at,

[4:53:34] I'm sold really. And think

[4:53:35] it's great attorney for one of

[4:53:36] the support needed a on the

[4:53:38] other.

[4:53:40] >> there were some shots taken

[4:53:41] at me little bit in the

[4:53:45] beginning with some purple. My

[4:53:48] colleagues from the other high

[4:53:49] schools. I have a little fun

[4:53:52] at my expense I think I'm the

[4:53:57] one life and well. You know,

[4:53:58] as a.

[4:53:59] >> Your the founding

[4:54:00] principle, I think all of us

[4:54:03] are pretty proud to be on. The

[4:54:04] board has found board members

[4:54:05] for the first high school. We

[4:54:12] built them. How many years?

[4:54:13] >> unknowns. 29 just parish.

[4:54:14] That's 2019, but this is just

[4:54:18] little bit different. I'm not

[4:54:19] >> taking anything away from

[4:54:19] parish, but this was just a

[4:54:21] little bit different. And and

[4:54:25] I like that. I think you're

[4:54:28] going excellent job there and

[4:54:35] got another 10 Aren't you?

[4:54:40] >> think a drug court and

[4:54:40] >> But I love it. I think

[4:54:44] owners say no. From standpoint

[4:54:45] instruction. Thank you so

[4:54:53] much. Ran can establishment If

[4:54:55] you don't do I And that's all

[4:54:59] I got to get my hard hat and

[4:54:59] come up there and take a tour.

[4:55:01] Haven't had a chance to do

[4:55:05] that. But I will. So get what

[4:55:06] MISTER Golf and see I can do.

[4:55:08] Get out there. But I'm excited

[4:55:11] for that area. I think the

[4:55:15] people. Are excited about this

[4:55:15] school. I know they are

[4:55:20] actually there's Resistance.

[4:55:21] But once they warmed up to the

[4:55:25] idea. I don't know how many

[4:55:27] people you sent the survey out

[4:55:29] too. Yes, 600, some of It was.

[4:55:31] It was a little bit more

[4:55:34] probably good 1000. I would

[4:55:35] that turnout, then if you

[4:55:36] senator 1000, you got 6 some

[4:55:38] responses back.

[4:55:41] >> my 2 thirds. So that's 3

[4:55:42] good trial. So I'm glad you

[4:55:45] did that. So I guess I had one

[4:55:50] little put question on. When

[4:55:51] there's like the Open house

[4:55:52] went to select clubs and all

[4:55:54] that kind of stuff. We'll be

[4:55:55] building ready for for that

[4:56:00] right? So like, ok, yeah. So

[4:56:01] when kids want to come in and

[4:56:03] select clubs and our programs

[4:56:07] and stuff like that, That

[4:56:07] like, okay. We do that at the

[4:56:11] end of the year. Year. Do we

[4:56:13] do things at the middle school

[4:56:15] to introduce kids to the high

[4:56:17] school level?

[4:56:19] >> Usually the staff will go

[4:56:20] to the incoming middle school

[4:56:21] and the right one to the

[4:56:22] theaters idol, a cedar schools

[4:56:24] try to stir and then over the

[4:56:26] summer is when you have the

[4:56:27] Open House event by MAY, 9th

[4:56:27] and 10th and by then the

[4:56:30] buildings will be done for

[4:56:31] them to see the campus and

[4:56:32] have that aren't unity to see

[4:56:34] it before the first day

[4:56:35] because the inspection teams

[4:56:36] and a great job with on

[4:56:37] schedule and the weather has

[4:56:39] helped us. Quite a bit which

[4:56:41] is good. Drying and

[4:56:43] everything. So yes, there will

[4:56:44] be opportunity for the

[4:56:45] students. And usually it's

[4:56:46] those open houses in the late

[4:56:47] summer at for school starts

[4:56:47] with the club selections and

[4:56:48] everything. They'll be able to

[4:56:51] do that.

[4:56:52] >> And

[4:56:55] >> I should probably know this

[4:57:00] chair gc starts ride at 9 and

[4:57:01] I'm grateful had in

[4:57:01] >> We we've submitted our

[4:57:05] application good were rotc

[4:57:05] program. We're going to have

[4:57:09] to start with the with an end

[4:57:13] ecc, which which is a mansion

[4:57:13] national defense, program a

[4:57:18] case that it's that initial.

[4:57:20] Phase into charity. See,

[4:57:20] there's only so many Jarrett

[4:57:23] he sees that can exist in the

[4:57:23] country.

[4:57:24] >> Okay. And so we are on the

[4:57:29] list to get one thanks to DR.

[4:57:30] Bres limits the Scarborough.

[4:57:31] They have committed the

[4:57:33] funding. It runs exactly the

[4:57:35] same as the rotc. It's just

[4:57:38] that the set we baby step.

[4:57:41] >> Pick up that initial cost.

[4:57:45] Okay. It was MADAM Chair. They

[4:57:45] will have a table at the

[4:57:46] school choice. Fair in JANUARY

[4:57:48] right yeah.

[4:57:53] >> And I will work with the.

[4:57:54] >> With our feeder schools to

[4:57:55] have information sent sessions

[4:57:59] at those schools. So that

[4:58:00] people who do have questions

[4:58:03] are able to come before we

[4:58:04] have before we get to school

[4:58:08] choice. MAY not be on our

[4:58:09] campus, but we're going we're

[4:58:15] going to have enough. Ariel

[4:58:15] probably enough information as

[4:58:18] far as what our initial

[4:58:20] programming is going to be

[4:58:22] order to make all of those

[4:58:26] families who are Incoming 9th

[4:58:27] graders. But also those

[4:58:29] students who you are. We're

[4:58:31] going to be sophomores who

[4:58:32] we're going to start another

[4:58:34] school currently at another

[4:58:35] school. We're going to come to

[4:58:36] range limit. They're going to

[4:58:38] feel very comfortable. But we

[4:58:39] are going to be able to meet

[4:58:44] all of their needs at range.

[4:58:46] >> Like you said is just

[4:58:50] around the corner. Not

[4:58:51] Regresan referenced in

[4:58:52] JANUARY. You know, its yeah.

[4:58:56] So you get a lot of. The

[4:58:57] pamphlets and the handouts and

[4:58:57] a programming and all about to

[4:59:00] do as well and finish logo and

[4:59:04] all those kind of things. Lots

[4:59:04] to do. But it sounds like

[4:59:09] you've got a good. Both sides

[4:59:10] of the curriculum program

[4:59:13] slide and then a construction

[4:59:14] site design I think

[4:59:18] phenomenal. So I'm happy with

[4:59:20] the progress that we've made

[4:59:21] out there. And you're right.

[4:59:22] It didn't cost 10's of

[4:59:24] millions, but I think her

[4:59:27] allies going to be very great

[4:59:29] simply because one location it

[4:59:34] out and having a sport. I'm

[4:59:35] happy. We want to head now

[4:59:42] furniture, the equipment.

[4:59:46] Yeah. And then also MR.

[4:59:50] Johnson for killing team.

[4:59:53] >> the programming and all of

[4:59:56] those well courses, that's all

[4:59:58] all of the stuff. I mean, it's

[4:59:59] a lot.

[5:00:00] >> been having so much fun

[5:00:03] with furniture selection Oh,

[5:00:03] my probably didn't know about

[5:00:08] a There's already members. Do

[5:00:09] you have any front, a town

[5:00:14] house MR. Taylor's got a

[5:00:15] question for One question. You

[5:00:16] know what? It's not about

[5:00:17] turning lanes. I promise ok to

[5:00:18] get.

[5:00:23] >> Or anything like that. It's

[5:00:25] about dual enrollment here.

[5:00:25] You mentioned Scf is that they

[5:00:26] involved in the dual

[5:00:28] enrollment at the school.

[5:00:31] >> They are. We course.

[5:00:31] >> Our students, our students

[5:00:34] and our high schools. Take

[5:00:34] dual enrollment through state

[5:00:37] College of Florida. They

[5:00:38] either take it online or they

[5:00:41] do take it

[5:00:43] >> State College of Florida

[5:00:44] campus and a number, course,

[5:00:46] that was going to ask about,

[5:00:47] wasn't there. Another was a

[5:00:49] time. With the previous

[5:00:50] PRESIDENT, she was wouldn't

[5:00:51] allow her professors are

[5:00:51] coming schools or something

[5:00:53] like

[5:00:54] >> That I would still trying

[5:00:56] to resolve the door.

[5:00:57] >> Or you resolve that with

[5:00:59] the University South Florida?

[5:01:01] Ok, we the course is that we

[5:01:03] do teach on our campus are

[5:01:05] taught by our teachers

[5:01:08] qualified through usf. Teaches

[5:01:11] courses campus.

[5:01:12] >> So there's no issues with

[5:01:14] us. Are reason that is up

[5:01:15] going up there to have dinner

[5:01:16] with PRESIDENT Gregory. If

[5:01:17] there was something that we

[5:01:20] need to talk about with I

[5:01:21] could be helpful of inflation.

[5:01:22] But there's no it was going a

[5:01:26] If they would, if they would

[5:01:27] like for.

[5:01:29] >> Of course, is on ours. Our

[5:01:30] campuses to be taught on our

[5:01:30] campuses. We'd certainly

[5:01:35] explore. Further in that

[5:01:35] relationship. State College

[5:02:27] the Bay Shore High School

[5:02:28] update around the future

[5:02:29] facilities designs in the

[5:02:31] programming. We're super

[5:02:32] excited that the projects

[5:02:33] focused on career education

[5:02:36] and expand. Emt sees footprint

[5:02:37] West we did kind of flip the

[5:02:38] script a little. We're going

[5:02:40] to start with programming

[5:02:41] first and then we're going to

[5:02:43] hand it over to construction.

[5:02:45] So I get the privilege of

[5:02:47] introducing to phenomenal.

[5:02:49] Behind me. Principal Scott

[5:02:50] Cooper Bayshore High School

[5:02:54] Kirk, who is our director of

[5:02:55] ntc. They are going to walk

[5:02:58] you through our presentation

[5:03:00] this afternoon. MR. Cooper's

[5:03:01] going to start with a portrait

[5:03:02] of a sure high school. He's

[5:03:03] going to kick it over to

[5:03:04] Doctor Kirk, who's then going

[5:03:07] to discuss some different

[5:03:09] programming and benefits of

[5:03:09] that. And then we're going to

[5:03:11] flip it onto construction for

[5:03:12] them to close us out. So

[5:03:12] without further ado, I'm gonna

[5:03:18] pass it back.

[5:03:20] >> Good afternoon, everybody.

[5:03:21] Thanks for having us And been

[5:03:26] a long day for you. Also try

[5:03:28] Thank Really the board and Dr

[5:03:30] PRESIDENT's commitment to

[5:03:32] Bayshore high school and the

[5:03:33] the improvements that they're

[5:03:34] all looking to add here. We're

[5:03:36] extremely excited to sure to

[5:03:40] have these. Construction

[5:03:41] projects going on in the new

[5:03:42] programs that we're going to

[5:03:46] be in the near future. I like

[5:03:47] the spray like you said

[5:03:48] earlier about the automotive

[5:03:49] potentially the I know our

[5:03:50] students and families out

[5:03:52] there stream excited about

[5:03:53] full of a lot of these

[5:03:53] programs looting or the

[5:03:57] mechanics potentially a lot.

[5:04:00] So just as a quick portion of

[5:04:01] what we do, have a we will.

[5:04:02] You know I've been that

[5:04:03] started my 3rd year here at

[5:04:07] Bayshore High School. We

[5:04:08] really focused on the

[5:04:09] academics for singing and

[5:04:12] getting those aligned. Fully

[5:04:13] when full implementation of

[5:04:14] our key bridges program. When

[5:04:17] I got there 3 years ago. We're

[5:04:22] really that we have our first

[5:04:23] diploma candidates who earned

[5:04:27] it this You know, our first

[5:04:27] cohort group we well, it's 2

[5:04:30] confirmed and potentially 3

[5:04:31] once with one some something

[5:04:32] it's regrading between now.

[5:04:33] And so, you know, very small

[5:04:35] cohorts start with, but our

[5:04:37] current cohort for this year's

[5:04:39] group, actually tripled and we

[5:04:40] have 18 potential diplomas

[5:04:45] candidates this year. So we're

[5:04:47] moving in the right direction

[5:04:47] with our academics his course

[5:04:52] offerings and that stuff. We

[5:04:54] also are program, which has

[5:04:56] been a staple Bayshore for

[5:04:57] many, many years. We are

[5:05:00] national demonstration school

[5:05:01] Abbott is a program that works

[5:05:04] for that. That middle tier

[5:05:05] student. But as we get all the

[5:05:06] support at home doesn't

[5:05:11] necessarily not sure if they

[5:05:12] want to be college, college

[5:05:13] bound or not. So it's that's

[5:05:15] there to give those extra

[5:05:17] supports some experiences,

[5:05:18] college visits and tours guest

[5:05:21] speaker opportunities. Things

[5:05:22] like that where they could see

[5:05:24] what direction they want to go

[5:05:25] to. And they said Abbott's

[5:05:28] been there at Bayshore when I

[5:05:30] was a baby there 15 years ago.

[5:05:31] It was it wasn't strong

[5:05:32] program there and it's still

[5:05:33] going strong there where we

[5:05:41] have almost 300 students in

[5:05:41] student population are in

[5:05:42] avid. It was either as

[5:05:43] freshman all way up to the

[5:05:44] senior and many of our could

[5:05:44] stay there through the 4

[5:05:49] years. We also have dual

[5:05:50] enrollment options. Many of

[5:05:51] our students do with that cf

[5:05:54] right next door take the

[5:05:55] courses that of course, the

[5:05:55] street or taken virtually as

[5:06:01] well. Are. And we're also very

[5:06:03] proud on the last 2 years

[5:06:04] graduation rate has been at

[5:06:06] 90% and we anticipate a little

[5:06:07] bit higher than 90% this year.

[5:06:08] When doubles final numbers

[5:06:09] come out We're extremely proud

[5:06:13] the hard work that our

[5:06:14] students, our staff everyone

[5:06:19] to do to to that. 90% area.

[5:06:21] We're also now looking at the

[5:06:23] career side of things on the

[5:06:25] ct side. You know, now we have

[5:06:26] the academic, an academic

[5:06:29] pathway for our students who

[5:06:31] who college do that through

[5:06:32] east. We want to make sure we

[5:06:34] have enough of a pathway for

[5:06:37] our students they want to go

[5:06:38] right to the workforce, right

[5:06:38] out of school. So we really

[5:06:41] looking to enhance our career

[5:06:42] tech program. We have a

[5:06:43] construction program right

[5:06:44] now. Would be sure that we're

[5:06:47] looking to expand on. We have

[5:06:49] business program as well to

[5:06:51] the engineering on technology

[5:06:54] program. We've also introduced

[5:06:58] Agra science program not like

[5:06:59] signs have out east animals

[5:07:00] that we would start with

[5:07:04] culture right now and

[5:07:05] potentially aqua culture. As

[5:07:07] we're looking at also our

[5:07:09] digital media program that we

[5:07:13] have so every student comes

[5:07:14] into Bayshore. Now, freshmen

[5:07:15] sophomores this year were put

[5:07:16] into a career pathway as well

[5:07:17] so that there's plenty of

[5:07:20] options for students to

[5:07:21] explore what's out there on

[5:07:23] the career side of things. And

[5:07:26] that goes for high academic.

[5:07:27] Kids as well as you know, a

[5:07:29] regular level students. Every

[5:07:29] single student comes in. It's

[5:07:32] going do a career pathway. So

[5:07:33] that's just a basic snapshot

[5:07:36] of where we right now. That

[5:07:41] that's What is when you need

[5:07:42] republic that you expand on

[5:07:43] that idea like what does that

[5:07:44] look like? If you want to go

[5:07:45] to college or if you want to

[5:07:47] go to the army want to go to

[5:07:47] you see what correct. So we're

[5:07:51] looking at so, you know.

[5:07:53] >> One, every every student

[5:07:54] have every potential option

[5:07:54] out there that they can

[5:07:55] explore and you know what best

[5:07:59] fits their strengths. So when

[5:08:00] students come in, if they're

[5:08:02] if they come into us from

[5:08:04] middle school on their advance

[5:08:05] academically, they typically

[5:08:05] going to appreciate classes

[5:08:08] and they start looking, you

[5:08:10] know, at college level type

[5:08:13] courses. But as far as your

[5:08:14] electives go, we try to give

[5:08:16] them some sort of career and

[5:08:16] technology class that those

[5:08:19] students can take as well

[5:08:20] because having those skills

[5:08:22] not only will help potentially

[5:08:23] in college, but if you know,

[5:08:23] if they choose to go to

[5:08:24] military route of that, you

[5:08:26] that right, too. A man

[5:08:27] technical college or a

[5:08:29] different avenue, right to

[5:08:32] work force. They also have

[5:08:34] skills available to them that

[5:08:35] that they worked on while in

[5:08:36] school that they're helping

[5:08:37] care for life outside of high

[5:08:38] school.

[5:08:38] >> It's what I think I heard

[5:08:42] you say is that actually every

[5:08:43] student, whether they want to

[5:08:44] go to Harvard or not, because

[5:08:49] people training type of elect

[5:08:51] leave that is the least some

[5:08:55] it is a class associated the

[5:08:57] seat. Program is that is that

[5:08:57] we've got what we're working

[5:08:59] to adjust the record as where

[5:09:00] live, where.

[5:09:01] >> a change in elective

[5:09:03] offerings in a career off a

[5:09:04] program so that we can we can

[5:09:04] get that right right now with

[5:09:09] We have. But hoping with this

[5:09:11] to have offer a lot more

[5:09:11] opportunities on the career

[5:09:13] tech side for our students.

[5:09:20] Thank you. We'll have.

[5:09:21] >> MR. Going. Yeah. Thank

[5:09:21] Scott for the for the for the

[5:09:24] Comprehensive update. There. I

[5:09:25] just want to kind of turn this

[5:09:26] the other way a little bit

[5:09:26] because a lot of times what we

[5:09:27] do up here as we kind of talk

[5:09:28] about things that we would

[5:09:30] like to see. And I'm just

[5:09:31] curious your feedback over the

[5:09:33] past couple of years, have you

[5:09:34] heard anything from your

[5:09:37] students are from your faculty

[5:09:38] about options are programs

[5:09:40] they would like to see that.

[5:09:41] Kind of maybe just in the idea

[5:09:44] phase or just discussion faced

[5:09:45] weren't concrete enough to

[5:09:48] make it to the presentation.

[5:09:49] But something you want to

[5:09:49] maybe put on our radar. That

[5:09:52] might be good for the

[5:09:53] community.

[5:09:54] >> I'm you know, when I when I

[5:09:54] first got over the Bay, sure,

[5:09:58] a couple years ago, you know,

[5:10:00] having we want to talk about

[5:10:01] You our family, our looking to

[5:10:02] go right to work for us. We

[5:10:06] talk about you know, we want

[5:10:06] him to have opportunities

[5:10:10] where they could staying at

[5:10:13] the county and live with have

[5:10:14] a career. Minnesota's the job

[5:10:14] had a career where they're

[5:10:17] making a livable wage. You

[5:10:18] know, a lot of you kids, you

[5:10:19] know, typical high school kids

[5:10:20] have part-time jobs working.

[5:10:22] And, you know, Domino's plays

[5:10:24] like that. But when they got a

[5:10:25] high school, they didn't have

[5:10:26] those skills where they could

[5:10:28] actually take jump into the

[5:10:28] workforce where a trend to

[5:10:31] translate into workforce. But

[5:10:33] a lot of our families that,

[5:10:34] you know, they're very

[5:10:34] interested the construction

[5:10:35] class, that construction plans

[5:10:38] we have is is dot dot, most

[5:10:42] selected elective that we have

[5:10:43] on campuses over 250 kids at

[5:10:47] for construction every year.

[5:10:49] So expanding that program is,

[5:10:49] you know something. We a lot

[5:10:54] great value and I know, you

[5:10:56] know, we talked when got

[5:10:56] talking to you, people, the

[5:10:57] business community on

[5:10:58] something we talk about, you

[5:10:58] know, quite a few houses being

[5:11:01] built around here. But but

[5:11:02] bill doesn't say they don't

[5:11:04] have enough workers to

[5:11:05] actually build them quick

[5:11:07] enough. So, you know, we go

[5:11:08] here's, you know, kids that

[5:11:09] are looking to get into that

[5:11:09] field and things like that. So

[5:11:12] that's one area, you know, a

[5:11:14] lot of our families are, you

[5:11:15] know, we talk about or

[5:11:16] mechanics these I will talk

[5:11:17] about small motor mechanics

[5:11:20] where a lot of our families

[5:11:21] that, you know, that

[5:11:22] landscaping business, things

[5:11:22] like that where parts are,

[5:11:23] students able to, you working

[5:11:27] on Maintaining like one

[5:11:28] morning, you know, with things

[5:11:30] like that and actually learn

[5:11:31] some entrepreneurial skills as

[5:11:33] well. So, you know, to help

[5:11:34] with running the family

[5:11:36] business, things like that,

[5:11:37] other things are reached as

[5:11:38] well as couple of things

[5:11:43] appreciate that. Thank you.

[5:11:44] MADAM Chair, you work you in

[5:11:48] for the

[5:11:49] >> Thank you. Thank you, MADAM

[5:11:50] Chair. Thank you. Vice Chair

[5:11:51] Dr Breslin, Everyone. I

[5:11:53] appreciate you having me here

[5:11:55] today. MR. Cooper have had a

[5:11:56] lot of conversations over the

[5:11:59] past few months getting our

[5:12:00] adult education started on

[5:12:01] Bayshore, but also about the

[5:12:02] project that I'm going to

[5:12:04] speak to a little bit more

[5:12:05] today.

[5:12:07] >> So our approach, what we

[5:12:10] have here is basically kind of

[5:12:12] 2 ways to go, right? We have

[5:12:13] our enrollment, which MR.

[5:12:14] Cooper just recently mention,

[5:12:16] but I'm gonna go into detail

[5:12:18] about as well as in in tc

[5:12:20] West. That I know is kind of

[5:12:21] been a topic of conversation

[5:12:22] in and out for the past few

[5:12:24] years just to expand those

[5:12:25] options. Some going to go over

[5:12:26] some of the programs that

[5:12:27] we've been discussing and

[5:12:30] kinda, too. Your point, MISTER

[5:12:31] Kennedy, MR. Cooper's very in

[5:12:32] tune. I can say with his

[5:12:34] community student body. So a

[5:12:36] lot of the programs I'm going

[5:12:37] to talk about were based on a

[5:12:39] lot of the conversations that

[5:12:39] we've all had. And I think

[5:12:41] that he's had with students,

[5:12:42] staff and things like that in

[5:12:43] the area. So it is a lot based

[5:12:47] off of that. So the 5 programs

[5:12:48] I'm going to talk about today

[5:12:49] are listed on the screen here.

[5:12:53] We have master on a motive. So

[5:12:54] yeah, as you are saying and

[5:12:58] like I had look at Yeah.

[5:13:00] >> Trying to back up. But it

[5:13:03] is on the list. It was one of

[5:13:04] the things like MR. Cooper

[5:13:06] mention that the student body

[5:13:08] has any for right. There's a

[5:13:09] need in the area. Get lot of

[5:13:11] those community partners that

[5:13:15] I know from experience in tc

[5:13:16] people are lining up for those

[5:13:16] graduate. So and I think we

[5:13:18] will see the same and that

[5:13:20] Bayshore area, Billy

[5:13:22] Construction Technologies

[5:13:23] currently Bayshore has the

[5:13:24] building trades program.

[5:13:25] They're very similar. One is

[5:13:27] just secondary. One is on the

[5:13:28] post-secondary side. We do

[5:13:29] want to make that connection

[5:13:32] for his students. We have

[5:13:34] landscape and turf management,

[5:13:35] as you mentioned, there's a

[5:13:35] huge need in the area for

[5:13:36] that. There's been some

[5:13:40] student interest. They do have

[5:13:41] more land early-childhood

[5:13:42] education, kind of connecting

[5:13:44] those education pathways as

[5:13:46] well as the adult education

[5:13:48] side, which are more on the

[5:13:49] east, saw ged, I'll talk about

[5:13:50] a little more in the next one.

[5:13:51] But we've already started to

[5:13:55] partner on this year. So for

[5:13:59] adult education for use on

[5:14:00] probably already aware. But we

[5:14:01] are on Bayshore campus in the

[5:14:03] evening right now. We make

[5:14:05] sure that is after hours since

[5:14:06] this construction project

[5:14:08] project actually separate the

[5:14:09] campuses. Currently, we're

[5:14:11] running from 6 to 08:30pm, and

[5:14:13] it's just the esop population.

[5:14:15] We do have a little over 100

[5:14:16] students between Monday and

[5:14:18] Thursday nights. We did have

[5:14:19] over 250 applications. So we

[5:14:21] know the need in the areas

[5:14:23] there. Main campus is

[5:14:23] absolutely amazing. But the

[5:14:25] bus lines aren't the best.

[5:14:26] There. All right. So we know

[5:14:28] there's a huge need for that

[5:14:31] population, MR. Cooper has

[5:14:32] been amazing. Opening up his

[5:14:33] campus, the second floor

[5:14:36] building 6 to us. So that has

[5:14:37] been extremely successful. And

[5:14:39] we want to continue to expand

[5:14:40] that with this construction

[5:14:41] project and make sure that we

[5:14:42] have access to those

[5:14:43] classrooms for the community

[5:14:46] that needs it. Landscaping.

[5:14:48] Turf management. This is an

[5:14:51] exciting program. I I not only

[5:14:52] is it something that we think

[5:14:53] the student body will be very

[5:14:54] interested in, but it would be

[5:14:56] open to adult students as well

[5:14:59] with the construction project

[5:15:01] being able to separate some

[5:15:01] fencing, which we'll talk

[5:15:03] about more than we can

[5:15:04] actually offer those classes

[5:15:05] during the day. The nice thing

[5:15:06] about that is we can offer

[5:15:08] them as both dual enrollment

[5:15:09] to Bayshore and transportation

[5:15:10] for surrounding high schools

[5:15:13] as well as adult students.

[5:15:14] This is a program that we just

[5:15:15] cannot have on either made or

[5:15:17] East campus. You've all been

[5:15:18] there and this requires a lot

[5:15:19] of space. Neither of those

[5:15:22] campuses have that. So Bay

[5:15:22] Shore is uniquely positioned

[5:15:26] to help with that. So not only

[5:15:27] does it help those

[5:15:28] acceleration points, the

[5:15:29] grades it gives students

[5:15:30] post-secondary options on the

[5:15:32] high school side. It also

[5:15:34] gives our adult students

[5:15:35] access to a program that we

[5:15:35] couldn't otherwise do. So

[5:15:36] we're very excited to be

[5:15:38] considering that one as well.

[5:15:40] And then early childhood

[5:15:42] education we currently

[5:15:44] apprenticeship on our main

[5:15:45] campus, but we do not have the

[5:15:47] post-secondary early-childhood

[5:15:49] program. One of the nice

[5:15:50] things about that is there's a

[5:15:51] lot of options there.

[5:15:52] Potential child care facility

[5:15:54] for Bayshore staff, things

[5:15:56] like that that we could look

[5:15:58] into as well as there's just a

[5:15:59] need to kind of make that

[5:16:01] connection between the high

[5:16:02] school population. Another

[5:16:04] thing that they can move into

[5:16:05] with an apprenticeship pre

[5:16:06] apprenticeship in that kind of

[5:16:08] thing at mtc afterwards. So

[5:16:10] those are all programs that

[5:16:14] would be open to do enrollment

[5:16:14] on the landscape in turf in

[5:16:15] early childhood site as well

[5:16:17] as adult students were all 3

[5:16:19] of them. None of them

[5:16:22] duplicate programs that are on

[5:16:23] main campus except for use on

[5:16:23] ged which have already proven

[5:16:25] that we have a very long wait

[5:16:25] list and justify that to

[5:16:31] publication. Some of the key

[5:16:32] benefits for all 3 of those

[5:16:33] programs. Obviously the number

[5:16:34] one which already mentioned is

[5:16:36] capacity on main campus and

[5:16:37] east. We are pretty much at

[5:16:40] capacity all day long. We just

[5:16:43] don't have additional room for

[5:16:44] it. We were running our east

[5:16:46] on ged classes in Wagner

[5:16:47] Control, Bistro, places that a

[5:16:48] classroom should not be ram.

[5:16:48] Just because we had such a

[5:16:51] long wait list. So since we've

[5:16:52] added those 100 plus students

[5:16:54] on Bayshore, we haven't had to

[5:16:55] do that. All of our students

[5:16:57] are in classrooms, which is

[5:16:58] wonderful. So we want to kind

[5:17:02] of continue that area

[5:17:03] landscape in management is not

[5:17:06] at very many technical

[5:17:07] colleges throughout the state.

[5:17:07] So I think its really gonna

[5:17:08] make Bayshore in mtc a

[5:17:10] standout for it. We are going

[5:17:12] to visit another college up in

[5:17:13] Saint Augustine in a couple

[5:17:15] months to kind of it

[5:17:18] successful actually see

[5:17:19] construction requirements,

[5:17:20] equipment requirements start

[5:17:21] to build that out so that we

[5:17:22] know we're doing it the right

[5:17:23] way and kind of get some of

[5:17:26] their lessons learned. So we

[5:17:27] are taking that process slowly

[5:17:27] to make sure we're doing it

[5:17:32] right. And then actually

[5:17:32] maximizing those already

[5:17:35] existing district facilities

[5:17:36] and in turn helping increase

[5:17:36] bayshore enrollment because

[5:17:39] these will be open to his high

[5:17:40] school students as well as

[5:17:45] adults. On the Bayshore mtc

[5:17:48] dual enrollment center site.

[5:17:49] And I word that way because,

[5:17:52] well, these do have potential

[5:17:53] to open up to adults in the

[5:17:54] future are really focusing on

[5:17:55] a enrollment center to begin

[5:17:57] with because these are classes

[5:17:58] that would be duplicated on

[5:18:02] main campus. So my reasoning

[5:18:03] there is until the waitlist

[5:18:04] justifies that right. We keep

[5:18:06] it with John Roman students

[5:18:07] not only at Bayshore but the

[5:18:08] surrounding area of

[5:18:10] transportation can be provided

[5:18:12] to give app opportunity all

[5:18:14] over the West side for

[5:18:16] students Master automotive

[5:18:18] Service, as MADAM Chair

[5:18:20] already mentioned. We do think

[5:18:21] that's going to be huge. Not

[5:18:22] only is the community need

[5:18:24] huge industry partners have

[5:18:26] expressed it. Mtc has a lot of

[5:18:27] industry partners that, you

[5:18:28] know, as these conversations

[5:18:30] have happened, there's

[5:18:31] excitement growing and then

[5:18:32] the actual student body

[5:18:33] population on the high school

[5:18:34] side we think will show a lot

[5:18:37] of interest in it as well.

[5:18:38] Obviously, even just with that

[5:18:40] first 300 our course, there's

[5:18:42] a lot of valuable life skills,

[5:18:43] whether they actually go into

[5:18:44] the automotive industry or

[5:18:45] just working on their own car.

[5:18:46] So I think it's something that

[5:18:49] will be appealing to a lot of

[5:18:50] those students building

[5:18:51] construction that's just

[5:18:52] building off of what they

[5:18:53] already have. It's already

[5:18:54] been a very successful program

[5:18:57] as MISTER Cooper mention, it's

[5:18:58] one of their highest actual

[5:19:01] asked from students. So to

[5:19:02] actually help the facility

[5:19:03] side of it with our

[5:19:04] construction team to get it up

[5:19:04] to par on the post-secondary

[5:19:05] side. I think that'll be a

[5:19:09] great addition. And then

[5:19:10] survey results to kind of

[5:19:12] guide those informed

[5:19:13] decisions. So that's something

[5:19:14] that MR. Mccarthy in the

[5:19:14] district team are going to

[5:19:16] work on just before anything's

[5:19:18] finalized, right? Making sure

[5:19:20] that the conversations that

[5:19:21] we've had with people in those

[5:19:22] things are based in reality of

[5:19:26] what the need is. And then the

[5:19:28] key benefits for those still

[5:19:30] enrollment center is that it's

[5:19:32] once again Sure enrollment.

[5:19:33] It's increasing. Do enrollment

[5:19:34] options in the area

[5:19:35] post-secondary credit for

[5:19:38] students. If a student takes a

[5:19:40] class there, it's directly

[5:19:41] transfer Stim, tc or any other

[5:19:42] technical college because it

[5:19:43] will be direct post-secondary

[5:19:45] credit through not only our

[5:19:46] local articulation but state

[5:19:50] articulation as well. It

[5:19:52] maximizes the college's

[5:19:54] experience. We're going to

[5:19:55] help build it out in terms of

[5:19:56] professional development with

[5:19:56] our instructors working

[5:19:57] closely with the district to

[5:19:59] make sure as the same rigor as

[5:20:02] the glasses on our campus. And

[5:20:04] then, of course, future

[5:20:06] post-secondary growth

[5:20:07] currently right now with those

[5:20:07] dual enrollment ones that

[5:20:09] we're looking at with building

[5:20:11] construction, automotive. It's

[5:20:12] something that I could see

[5:20:14] potential that if we have

[5:20:14] enough need for people on the

[5:20:16] West side that are adults, we

[5:20:17] could still have those as well

[5:20:21] offered.

[5:20:25] >> Any questions for And I

[5:20:29] don't see anybody in

[5:20:30] >> It seemed go back to page

[5:20:36] that goes back to the cpu that

[5:20:40] you're doing.

[5:20:43] >> The adults and on Roman.

[5:20:44] >> No, the student doing all

[5:20:47] that would 7. There we go.

[5:20:49] Billy Construction

[5:20:51] technologies. Just want bring

[5:20:53] your attention. Promise that I

[5:20:53] would do this for a job with a

[5:20:55] MISTER To believe that housing

[5:20:57] advocate and workforce housing

[5:20:59] advocate and he brought the

[5:21:01] idea to me of apparently we

[5:21:02] have a lot of a number of

[5:21:02] portables that are sitting on

[5:21:04] the bench for campus and

[5:21:07] actually using the building

[5:21:09] construction cq program to

[5:21:10] maybe renovate those some help

[5:21:11] from them into affordable

[5:21:16] housing to or there's an idea

[5:21:16] I thought it would bring your

[5:21:20] year-old with feasible or a

[5:21:20] good idea.

[5:21:23] >> great always appreciated

[5:21:25] promise. Absolutely. Thank the

[5:21:26] mysterious sounds like a good

[5:21:27] idea. But those of it is a

[5:21:27] have slowly something militant

[5:21:28] says. Thank you.

[5:21:38] >> a but so have link.

[5:21:42] >> Shifting over. The next. I

[5:21:47] thank you very excited about

[5:21:51] show. High school alma mater.

[5:21:55] >> motion

[5:21:57] >> at this stage of the game,

[5:21:58] we are prepared move to the

[5:22:00] next phase. We haven't

[5:22:02] SEPTEMBER 17 SEPTEMBER 18th.

[5:22:03] We have a final final

[5:22:04] interviews for the architects

[5:22:05] and for the engineers. And now

[5:22:10] that we have. All the program

[5:22:11] requirements necessary, we can

[5:22:13] begin to sit down to discuss

[5:22:16] what this is going like.

[5:22:17] Architect when Angela wise

[5:22:19] we're excited about

[5:22:19] opportunities for got

[5:22:22] 56 million dollars to work

[5:22:24] with. We've got an existing

[5:22:26] facility that we evaluate and

[5:22:26] come to conclusions about how

[5:22:28] to best utilize the space that

[5:22:28] we currently happen at ct

[5:22:30] Edition with that. So looking

[5:22:31] forward to working with the

[5:22:36] team to make this come to

[5:22:37] pass, make for wishing for

[5:22:37] all. I think it's going to be

[5:22:40] great project. And that's all

[5:22:41] I have to make a structural

[5:22:44] standpoint.

[5:22:52] >> On slide. Newscenter, we

[5:22:53] just talked about trees debris

[5:22:54] the whole court yard is

[5:22:55] nothing but trees. Are we

[5:22:57] going to look at MAY be

[5:23:00] reading out some of those that

[5:23:01] are not?

[5:23:01] >> And that we're going to as

[5:23:03] much as we can with the

[5:23:04] resources that we have. But

[5:23:05] we're going to look at this

[5:23:06] thing from my total

[5:23:07] comprehensive standpoint

[5:23:13] chair. Okay, I'm sitting at

[5:23:15] Projected is a 56 Million.

[5:23:20] Yes, And this a tentative

[5:23:22] schedule I'm showing right

[5:23:22] here. This alternative baseman

[5:23:23] information that we have. But

[5:23:27] once we get together with the

[5:23:28] team and look at what is

[5:23:29] required, we'll begin to

[5:23:30] harden the schedule get a

[5:23:31] pretty good idea where we're

[5:23:34] going end up right now. We're

[5:23:37] looking at APRIL 2029 to have

[5:23:38] everything completed.

[5:23:38] >> Right. And basic scope of

[5:23:41] this is to. Renovate a lot of

[5:23:45] stuff needed to done.

[5:23:46] >> Yes, ma'am. Why? It's a

[5:23:48] comprehensive hvac renovation

[5:23:50] with all the electrical

[5:23:51] mechanical upgrades needed.

[5:23:55] We're going to repair them the

[5:23:56] interior spaces and do what we

[5:23:58] need to make those interior

[5:23:58] spaces more efficient for the

[5:23:59] student body and for the

[5:24:00] operations that we're going to

[5:24:03] be doing there. So, bill,

[5:24:03] total evaluation of the

[5:24:04] overall site to see what we

[5:24:07] can do to make things better.

[5:24:08] >> And and you kind of a

[5:24:11] survey on our energy costs

[5:24:11] there, too.

[5:24:12] >> Yes, all of that will be

[5:24:13] no. That will be evaluated.

[5:24:15] Okay.

[5:24:18] >> Well, I'm excited for this

[5:24:19] project. Think you a face lift

[5:24:22] for a while and it's going to

[5:24:25] bring and juicy not to the

[5:24:27] West side full force. I'm glad

[5:24:32] to hear that. Yeah. Overflow

[5:24:34] of Didi people going over to

[5:24:36] that campus. I think that's

[5:24:37] brilliant. To be honest with

[5:24:40] you, I don't know. I just

[5:24:42] think it's going to be a good

[5:24:45] deal all around, MR. Chote

[5:24:46] this is in your district in

[5:24:48] your school. So

[5:24:49] >> you know what you think one

[5:24:51] of my chaos right? Couple

[5:24:53] years ago when I when I maybe

[5:24:56] you're going ever was

[5:24:57] >> but I've been this this.

[5:24:59] This is Ben summits. Talk to

[5:25:02] me ever since I I came to

[5:25:05] school district is as

[5:25:05] appointed. 21 of something

[5:25:10] from the community and those

[5:25:12] who remember Vote Act and

[5:25:13] things like that on Monday,

[5:25:19] campus and although and I this

[5:25:20] before the campus, we have in

[5:25:24] our normal campus on 70. It's

[5:25:25] phenomenal. And it is I do

[5:25:26] believe it is the best one in

[5:25:30] the state of Florida. I do

[5:25:32] believe somewhat. We left the

[5:25:33] West side behind when we went

[5:25:36] out especially just some some

[5:25:37] families and folks who can't

[5:25:37] get all the way out to state

[5:25:41] Road 70 right and interstates.

[5:25:43] So I love this is back

[5:25:46] probably going to be way

[5:25:47] better than it was back in the

[5:25:49] 90's and began prior to that.

[5:25:50] This is going to be something

[5:25:51] that is going to be fantastic

[5:25:55] for the school. But I think

[5:25:57] for the community as a and be

[5:25:58] able to have the option on

[5:25:59] that side of town for

[5:26:01] everybody. I'm really excited

[5:26:02] about it. And he's gonna be

[5:26:04] great. So thank you all for

[5:26:05] for all the work you have been

[5:26:07] doing and you will be doing.

[5:26:08] He's not going to be easy. You

[5:26:11] know, adding these fees,

[5:26:12] things back to school that

[5:26:12] maybe once had it and people

[5:26:15] MAY remember it. But I know

[5:26:16] it's not gonna be easy. And ms

[5:26:17] Cooper from your staff. Thank

[5:26:18] you guys very much. I know

[5:26:21] it's going to be in discover

[5:26:21] your all staff and it's going

[5:26:26] to be a poll. But I think it's

[5:26:27] something we only rdc me. I

[5:26:30] see the sign I drive by for

[5:26:33] the enrollment. Right. For the

[5:26:34] for the don't enroll that. And

[5:26:37] that's already full, right? So

[5:26:38] with awaiting that. So it was

[5:26:40] needed in a mix. Super excited

[5:26:40] by it. We didn't move to.

[5:26:42] Thank you all very much. You

[5:26:49] know, as Tom.

[5:26:54] >> With the the addition.

[5:26:54] >> I know I know you're pretty

[5:26:55] design and all that stuff is

[5:26:58] still still coming. I mean, is

[5:27:01] there location on campus that

[5:27:02] we're looking at? It going to

[5:27:02] be doing a particular

[5:27:04] building? And that's going to

[5:27:05] be with things are house I

[5:27:08] kind of like a little bit.

[5:27:09] >> So you have your com. If

[5:27:10] you look at that the right

[5:27:12] hand side of the two-storey

[5:27:14] building, building 6 there,

[5:27:15] look looking to basically

[5:27:16] expand on that building going

[5:27:20] a little out from the behind

[5:27:21] world. That land where the

[5:27:21] portables are behind right now

[5:27:27] is kind of building out there.

[5:27:27] >> Missus found that all have

[5:27:31] to separate entrances for

[5:27:32] security with 2 separate sign

[5:27:32] and procedures. So even if a

[5:27:34] student is at Bayshore and

[5:27:36] they're Dolan roles at mtc.

[5:27:40] They would exit Simon or get a

[5:27:42] student from manatee high

[5:27:43] schooler Southeast high school

[5:27:43] or any other school coming

[5:27:45] over to take one of the

[5:27:46] courses they can. They can

[5:27:48] access a interest. Yes, ma'am,

[5:27:51] going to be it will be

[5:27:53] separated out from the main

[5:27:56] campus ok, yes, ma'am, which

[5:27:57] is fine. Think it's a great

[5:28:01] vision. You know, do your

[5:28:06] credit. You know, bringing up

[5:28:06] the topic of been polytechnic

[5:28:07] going.

[5:28:09] >> All of that that school,

[5:28:11] you know, It's been kind

[5:28:17] overlooked. In my And I think

[5:28:21] the boys and Girls Club, did

[5:28:22] that built that building. I

[5:28:23] think that energize that

[5:28:27] community. We don't want to be

[5:28:28] left behind. We want to have

[5:28:30] that same image that, you

[5:28:32] know, they're projecting what

[5:28:34] we provide as well that.

[5:28:37] Students. And now to the

[5:28:40] adults in that region. So I

[5:28:41] think it's going to be a good

[5:28:42] thing. I think this is gonna

[5:28:47] be. Any ration. Out that way.

[5:28:48] And I think it's gonna offer a

[5:28:51] whole lot more than because I

[5:28:53] think things are going to come

[5:28:53] off Arizona, try to say, well,

[5:28:55] if they can do it rangeland we

[5:28:58] can do it Bayshore and then

[5:29:00] valves ideas off of that and

[5:29:01] see, you know, she you've

[5:29:04] already got some programs. I'm

[5:29:05] sure you've talked to them.

[5:29:06] Think it's gonna be a good

[5:29:10] thing. It should great. MADAM

[5:29:11] Chair, just one more comment.

[5:29:11] Just appreciate Dr Kirk and

[5:29:14] yet you for it him.

[5:29:15] >> that all the team you see

[5:29:18] here all working together, I

[5:29:20] think best part of this is the

[5:29:21] strong collaboration between

[5:29:23] our post secondary and their

[5:29:24] high school. And that's really

[5:29:26] is going to make a difference

[5:29:27] and do supporting our

[5:29:27] community by the future

[5:29:29] workforce and supporting our

[5:29:29] students.

[5:29:32] >> And and that's it there's

[5:29:33] print there used to be

[5:29:34] programs, vote hack out there

[5:29:38] and they didn't know the

[5:29:39] value, I think and we took

[5:29:40] away. I don't know when that

[5:29:47] was taken out. Yeah, years.

[5:29:50] Yeah. Got say whenever

[5:29:51] >> Right. So right. So that's

[5:29:55] one of the things it.

[5:29:57] >> All didn't bring that part

[5:29:58] So Noah community saying we

[5:30:00] would love to have And I think

[5:30:00] the school district is more

[5:30:01] than willing to.

[5:30:03] >> Bring it back because it's

[5:30:05] just going to help our

[5:30:06] community. That's just where

[5:30:07] and look at things now stand

[5:30:11] way. So. Okay. I don't see any

[5:30:17] other board members lit up. So

[5:30:19] now we are finished with the

[5:30:22] agenda item, by the way, item

[5:30:22] number 7 had both schools.

[5:30:25] Listen. One line so.

[5:30:25] >> That's why I've almost

[5:30:29] adjourn before we got here. So

[5:30:31] with that, I will adjourn us

[5:30:31] at 04:00:07pm. And thank you
