1 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:16,520 Good morning. The December 7, 2019 meeting of the Board of Education, Washington, the local schools come to order. It is now 8 o'clock. Please call the bill. 2 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,240 I 3 00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:58,750 would like to take a moment of silence to recognize today is the number seven Pearl Harbor Day. 4 00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:10,690 Thank you. 5 00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:16,220 Community comment. 6 00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:18,500 Do we have anybody here that wants to make a community comment? 7 00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:22,740 I don't think we do. 8 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,420 So we will move on to item number two. 9 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Financial update. 10 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,640 This is just a quick update as board to where we're successful passing our bond 11 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,160 lobby. We request requests for proposals for municipal advisor at the first 12 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,040 step in our borrowing. 13 00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:46,000 The deadline for submission is Monday, December 9th. We're 14 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,720 making a decision by December 16th. That will begin steps. They'll be advising us 15 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,840 where next steps would be. We likely do with a bank qualified note that you borrow 16 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,940 $10 million upfront that will get us cash flow as we proceed with the project that would 17 00:02:00,940 --> 00:02:03,700 also provide funding for other costs that we may incur. 18 00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:09,020 But then we're going to divide the one thing we have to look at is there's our financial 19 00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:09,560 statements. 20 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,080 One thing that we have is a negative outlet, a rating is A3, that's similar to what it was 21 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,520 when we did our COPS issue but has a negative outlet because of our declining cash balances. 22 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,760 As the board is aware, we did pass the operating levy, which did bring in roughly $3 million a year. 23 00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:33,320 Unfortunately, with the state freezing state aid, as well as the choice factoring into our district, 24 00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:39,200 our cash balance has really haven't changed from May 19th through now or through the next three years, 25 00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:43,240 even though we passed the levy. So there are things we haven't looked for. So I'll probably provide 26 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,700 updates for the next few weeks where we're heading. We probably have two to three 27 00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:54,440 and just for advisors to get poles up and then I was like the one that we feel almost comfortable with. 28 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,460 The last time we worked with the senior associates they did an excellent job, 29 00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:04,040 but there's also some other good ones that are going to pop their services to us. 30 00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:05,720 So any questions? 31 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,020 How about just a comment? 32 00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:11,040 I think that's a, you're doing a good job. 33 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,880 I think this is a very big, big, you know, balloon to be looking at. 34 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,520 And I think you're doing a good job on that. 35 00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:20,600 And I think the district's happy and lucky to have you 36 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480 looking at these and making good decisions. 37 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,080 Much just and picking ideas I do, 38 00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:27,560 I still think you still do a good job. 39 00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:28,260 You pick on me? 40 00:03:29,060 --> 00:03:31,020 You wouldn't know it's hard to slip off there. 41 00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:32,980 You'll miss it. 42 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,780 You'll miss it, yeah. 43 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,300 Well, it was always like, oh, there's 44 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:42,660 You want to do that? 45 00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:43,860 I didn't hear that. 46 00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:49,730 Any other questions? 47 00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:52,610 No, I appreciate this because you've 48 00:03:52,610 --> 00:03:55,650 kept in front of the storm, and you have always 49 00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:59,350 we make fun of you, but you've been very tight, 50 00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:02,110 but you've been great to find interestfully 51 00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:03,790 helping this along the way. 52 00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:06,610 So thank you for everything you've done with us. 53 00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:17,650 OSTC update, that was a great meeting the other day, but I might hand out for everyone. 54 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:31,780 So Mr. Elstrup, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Merritt, Mr. Falk and I, and we're joined by Eugene 55 00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:38,500 Schickat and Scott Wagner, OSTC, and then Region 2 Construction Services, which oversees 56 00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:48,240 I think Scott is a comfortable with him, he can't really know his stuff. 57 00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:53,760 So all I did was try to gather some notes from our discussions that they just kind of 58 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,200 walk you through with our next steps are. 59 00:04:56,420 --> 00:05:01,060 So that's what we'll do this morning, so the purpose of the meeting was really informational, 60 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,900 just to provide information about next steps, clarification about the funding ratio, clarification 61 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:12,260 about re-evaluation stages. Kind of reviewed how it provides code 3318 with that. Provided 62 00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:16,860 information about the support available from OSBC and Regency, and also provided information 63 00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:22,240 about timelines and future projects. So for our first order of business really will be 64 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,540 to prepare the RFQs for architects. Well, I've already started to pull down some of those 65 00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:31,760 forms and look at that. I talked yesterday to Scott again about the language that will go 66 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,880 in there. What kinds of things we're interested in. We're interested in a little bit of vision 67 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,740 is a part of our architect. We want them to meet with the community, get their vision, 68 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,080 take their feedback, all of that. So that's an important, so you're really in that first 69 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,800 description there, putting in what you want to see from your architect. We want this 70 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,460 to be a very community active, and so that would be in there. So I'll be starting to work 71 00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:56,480 on those a little bit. I have the advantage also of having a couple local coverintendents 72 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,300 who've been through recently OFQC work, so they're pulling their RQs for me, such as the 73 00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:06,580 book kind of language they put in there. I talked to a couple of them yesterday, so everybody's 74 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:11,540 always going to share, so that's nice. And so we'll be putting those together. I mean, we could 75 00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:16,560 really put the RFQ out before the holidays. I don't know if something's really going to get done 76 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,560 before the holidays, but it still gives people a little bit more time. I am getting daily calls 77 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,520 from architects like they're coming out when they're coming out. We're pretty clear. We met 78 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:42,620 But maybe today maybe we'll spend some time on that today so and then also the RFQ for the construction manager at risk which is the model that they're recommending and I would agree with after reading a lot of it. 79 00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:50,420 That's just exactly what we want and those can go out a little bit later even after an architect is collected or concurrently. 80 00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:56,040 So, we'll probably really work hard on the RFQ for the architect and then right behind 81 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640 that, get the construction manager at risk one out. 82 00:06:59,340 --> 00:07:06,140 And then also, then there's another piece to the request for proposal for the CMR, and 83 00:07:06,140 --> 00:07:10,320 that is, so that actual piece, the first one is just to kind of spell out what you want, 84 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,440 the second one is actually to get the money attached to it. 85 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120 So, it's a little bit different from the access. 86 00:07:15,220 --> 00:07:18,360 Funding ratio, this was a good piece of information. 87 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,600 I think this was unfair to all of us, like what happens when construction costs go up? 88 00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:27,860 What happens when we decide to build five buildings instead of six or whatever that is? 89 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,120 And it's good to know that the ratio stays the same. 90 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:37,360 So the ratio remains constant, it's always 80-20, so we've locked that in, which is really 91 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:37,760 exciting. 92 00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:46,040 So long as it's money that's the language acceptable for the state. 93 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,080 Right, exactly right. 94 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,760 So almost everything we do has to be approved, really everything we do has to be approved. 95 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,800 They quarterly they review everything that we're working on. 96 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,000 At some point if we decided to take something on specifically we would have to run that 97 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,760 through the state and they might say no we won't fund that it's not co-fundable and then 98 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,320 we would have to absorb 100% of that cost so I can't put it right left. 99 00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:13,120 We decided we needed a performing arts theater at Charlotte because we don't have anything 100 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,780 in that end of town. 101 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800 That would be that would not be a co-fundable piece they would say no that's not 102 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,940 part of our funding model, and then we would have to be ready to step that on our own. 103 00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,260 Which I think is, the good news is that they're on it constantly. 104 00:08:24,940 --> 00:08:29,280 And literally, you don't get many people to pick up their phones anymore. 105 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,320 You call people, you go to the voice mail, you know, they call you back, or they don't call 106 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640 you back, they're A-E, depending on who it is. 107 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,360 But this guy has picked up a phone every time I called. 108 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,120 I mean, and I called yesterday at 4.45 and picked up the phone, I mean, happy to talk to you. 109 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,860 He likes his work. You can tell he really likes his work. 110 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,340 Like they said, they're going to be with us holding our hand and stuff the way. 111 00:08:56,660 --> 00:09:01,500 And probably one of the great things about being later in the list of all of these constructions 112 00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:06,780 is that most of the hiccups are in the past and they kind of know the process really well. 113 00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,900 We have to make that easier for us. 114 00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:15,160 The reason this is important is one thing we look at and we want the community is right 115 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,380 now. 116 00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:16,840 We're at 59%. 117 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,060 We're probably in five, 10 years when we're ready to be renovated according to the approved 118 00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:22,520 plan. 119 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,000 It may be replaced. 120 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,100 And that means the cost might be higher. 121 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,820 So that's why the question was asked is, you know, 10 years from now, would they still pay 122 00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:35,220 the 80% if they locked into a dollar amount of the percentage they're locked into the percentage. 123 00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:40,740 And that's why the board approved the 80 percent because we, you know, possibly it could 124 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:45,480 be 82 percent, 3 years ago, now it would be 70 percent, 80 percent is a very, very good 125 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:45,780 number. 126 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:50,040 And the reason they're so involved is they will be paying 80 percent of the construction costs 127 00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:51,160 going forward. 128 00:09:51,620 --> 00:09:56,540 We will be paying for the first two elementaries, but that would be our 20 percent going forward. 129 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,160 And that was the, that became the topic because the widows are in that bubble. 130 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,980 We're only a couple of percentage points away from where we're being eligible to be read and knocked down and rebuild itself. 131 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,840 Is it current 59 percent? 132 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,060 Right. 133 00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:11,760 We have. 134 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:18,680 There is some discussion that we had that we may have to go back to the voters for more money if that's the case. 135 00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,160 But will we visit that time? 136 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:23,880 Yeah. 137 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,580 I think the other part that gave me some comfort, yeah, not next year. 138 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,380 I think the big part that gave me some comfort too was just that it's a kind that just 139 00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:36,420 like we told voters and just like we plan to do it's a constant cycle of evaluation. 140 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:42,040 So this isn't, we didn't lock this in stone and then you know now we're stuck even though 141 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,220 we don't need you know five buildings or whatever. 142 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,660 This is a constant re-evaluation based on our enrollment, based on maybe our changing 143 00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:51,780 educational needs, our changing vision. 144 00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,000 and any of those things could change this, 145 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,500 which I think is really exciting. 146 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,820 So the community can constantly be giving in 147 00:10:57,820 --> 00:10:59,340 but as the community changes. 148 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760 And one of the things we did discuss as well 149 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,740 is that within the buildings we might get some interest 150 00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:06,580 of people moving to the community. 151 00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:10,880 And we've got some, stay the art of selection 152 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120 and that might help us in the star population. 153 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:15,600 Yeah. 154 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,600 Family? 155 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:17,020 Yeah. 156 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:18,600 Oh, no. 157 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,700 And that was, I mean, it was a reflection meeting in that sense because it gave us a lot 158 00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:30,320 of ideas of what we could do and everything was pretty fluid moving forward. 159 00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:34,820 But the nice thing is if I heard correctly, we could potentially see moving to the five 160 00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:35,120 years. 161 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,340 It sounds like it boosted up on the OSCC component. 162 00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:45,480 Obviously, you're looking at the financial stability of schools in front of you and obviously 163 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,960 with us to have some of that lovey that changed a lot, where other schools may not be ready, 164 00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:56,640 where if we did pass the lovey, we had a follow-up on that list, where the government schools 165 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,040 in front of us, that now are following on that list, and you've gained some to be pretty 166 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,380 kind of into the five years where we're thinking it's going to be much later than that in the 167 00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:07,000 OFCC. 168 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,480 In the good thing is that the construction at Charlton and the New Jackment will probably not 169 00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:25,560 So they did give us some cost just to think about, just rough numbers, $250 square foot 170 00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:29,980 and that could escalate to $300 square foot over five years, make some projections. 171 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,120 Both buildings are going to be right around $80,000 square feet. 172 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,560 Architect fees are running 5-9%, depending on what city you're in, if you're in Cleveland or 173 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:44,880 is Nadia, you're here, construction manager at risk, got 36%, we could also settle on a 174 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,620 fix with them. 175 00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:50,680 Just a step in real quick, that architects face it, you've got architects calling you. 176 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,720 I mean, we certainly should be looking at leveraging that, we are not going to be paying 177 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,520 9% of it. 178 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,900 He said you would just go. 179 00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,840 This is not a 9% market. 180 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,420 Yeah, it's not a 9% market. 181 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:01,680 We would. 182 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,020 Yeah. 183 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,760 Yeah. 184 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,320 I mean, it's still in the bank account. 185 00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:05,160 I know. 186 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,020 Construction's going on in your market. Columbus, they're getting a higher fee because there's everything's tight there, right? 187 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,820 Things here, there's just two great big school projects finishing up, Rockford finishing up, Anthony Wayne finishing up. 188 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:24,780 So there should be a good labor market available for us too. All of those things going into all of these considerations, everybody's looking for work, right? 189 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:31,520 So they just, but when, yeah, but no, we won't be paying any extra. Well, just giving you the general range that's around the fake. 190 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,160 Well, it was exciting to know this basically January and on this whole next year is going to be 100 percent. 191 00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:39,680 Let's start moving because we could start. 192 00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:43,920 They project that we could start breaking ground in a year from now. 193 00:13:44,660 --> 00:13:46,200 We're both short on the judgment. 194 00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:49,780 We decided simultaneously to build together by next March. 195 00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:53,960 So then by the year of the school year of 2022, 196 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,840 the beginning of that, both schools would be open and ready to roll that short on the judgment. 197 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,280 So, but they projected 14, 15 months to build those schools. 198 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,380 Then that would include the demolition of the old building. 199 00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:11,100 So, hopefully, 14, 15 months from now, we'll break the ground. 200 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,520 Other things that we talked about in the meeting were energy systems and maybe considering 201 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,460 a commissioning agent for a review when we get to that part. 202 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,400 It's such the mechanical part, it's such a big part of your building and just there are 203 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,780 people that do this for a living and so that's something we should consider. 204 00:14:26,780 --> 00:14:30,700 site access safety we're going to obviously have a lot of discussions around that 205 00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:35,460 that's a big discussion among our community but that certainly has changed a lot and all 206 00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:40,020 of these buildings were built and most students walked the school. Right. We really need to 207 00:14:40,020 --> 00:14:47,700 engineer that while looking at McGregor for example high school day and nightmare over there. 208 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,460 And I have absolutely terrible. And I think all of our buildings got so bad. I see 209 00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:53,380 in the Gregor Wringer ladies. 210 00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:54,340 Yeah, I thought it was fresh. 211 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Yeah, I don't think so. 212 00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,500 I was talking about stormshelves. 213 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,520 I was just going to say we're going to have two stormshelves. 214 00:14:59,660 --> 00:14:59,880 Stormshelves. 215 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,940 Yeah, so big discussion, special in shorelands. I mean, I've had a lot of people very worried about that. So, and then also any locally funded initiatives that we might identify with. Revaluations that we've talked about this quarterly process. There's a review of progress in projects each year. And then also we submit everything to them quarterly. I'd say that later in the next live that it's like quarterly review. So annually, they look at everything. There's an annual audit. And then as cost increased, we talked about this 216 00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:34,220 before the ratio will remain the same, the dollars might change, and then as enrollment 217 00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:38,140 or master planning are reevaluated, it's always a chance to revisit the priorities because 218 00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:39,960 I think those probably will change in ten years. 219 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,140 And then the support from OFCC and Regency, they service partners in the process, they're available 220 00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:48,880 as much as we need them, and they've already proven that they'll pick up the phone, which 221 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,180 is great. 222 00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:53,060 Quarterly reviews to ensure we're meeting all the requirements, so we won't get out ahead 223 00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:57,560 of something and then come back later and say, oh yeah, we don't cover that, so that's 224 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,000 great that they're all the time. 225 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,780 And that our CMR would be the one constant contact with OFCC. 226 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,540 So any change orders, anything that happens along the way, 227 00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:09,620 they'd be constantly communicating with each other. 228 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,660 We also talked about the possibility of using an owner agent, 229 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,500 which could be an additional role within the CMR contract. 230 00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:18,200 A lot of people do that. 231 00:16:18,820 --> 00:16:21,040 And then educational visioning recommendation. 232 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080 In the project, we did that as a part of the architect, 233 00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:26,800 but there's also separate people 234 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,620 that OSCC has a recommendation list that do that visioning. 235 00:16:30,940 --> 00:16:33,600 We've done a lot of that here, but I think it's still got to be a, 236 00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:35,360 it has to be a part of the architect's piece. 237 00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:38,880 We want an architect who's listening, who's constantly responding. 238 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,100 And that's another good reason why we're sort of at the tail end, 239 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:47,860 is we can learn from what others have done in some of their mistakes along the way. 240 00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:50,080 We hopefully will not have to reinvent the wheel. 241 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Right. 242 00:16:56,540 --> 00:16:59,780 So we'll be going out for the architect and we're going to the last slide, did you? 243 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,640 Our Q architect, I'm request for an architect at a January selection probably in 244 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,580 December 2020, that'll be, we'll decide as a board in the next couple of meetings what that looks like, 245 00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:14,260 what the meeting dates are, when we'll bring the architect in, what we do around Robin, 246 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,360 where we've got three or four set up in different rooms, we can all decide what that process looks like. 247 00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:25,320 I'm going for the same thing with the CMR, right on the heels of that, we'll be doing the same kind of process for CMR. 248 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,940 That's a really important role because that's the person that represents you at the table. 249 00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:33,860 So the architect is very, very important, but that's the CMR is really important too. 250 00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:41,420 You want to feel comfortable with them. It's a trust relationship because they speak for you, especially on large changes. 251 00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:48,640 And sometimes those changes are just, oh, we didn't anticipate that the part of the 252 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,160 girder wasn't going to hold the weight. 253 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,700 And so now we have to move a wall. 254 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520 You need somebody there that really has good experience and really can articulate themselves 255 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:55,900 well. 256 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,520 Design would start April 2020 at the age of 12 month process. 257 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,440 So I remember when I thought 2020 was so far away, this is four months away. 258 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:13,040 So, bids go out in January, probably of 2021 and hopefully breaking ground in March of 259 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,720 21 and finished building. 260 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,420 I left late summer on here because I like to under promise and over deliver. 261 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,400 That's why I left it on there. 262 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,980 They did talk about, you know, if we stagger the starts of these a little bit, we might open 263 00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:28,860 one in the fall and one in the winter. 264 00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:33,740 Rothbard, you can see they opened their elementary in the fall but they're high school junior 265 00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:35,300 high wing isn't opening to December. 266 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:39,920 I mean, the good news for both of us in this case is that our kids are in their building. 267 00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:44,120 So, and we really don't want demolition too much going on when we've got kids around 268 00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:44,760 and all of that. 269 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:50,100 So, the kids could be in their building if we're not as tight, although we won't tell 270 00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:50,780 the architect that. 271 00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:57,900 We're not as tight on the project as this, but that's the exciting stuff, very exciting stuff. 272 00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:09,680 Many more meetings to come, pretty much every week going forward for the next, probably 273 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,820 three years, they'll be constructed, at least one construction meeting a week. 274 00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:17,660 Well, certainly in two years, you know, when you started the additional funding 275 00:19:17,660 --> 00:19:20,860 and the next round of discussion is based on two. 276 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:26,160 Yeah, that, as soon as the buildings are underway and we get a little better idea 277 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,240 where OF50 is, we're state funding is, we'll start pulling the community back in again 278 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,680 and saying, okay, what's next? And a lot of that will be driven by 279 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,600 cost, you know what happens in the community a lot of 280 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,500 change in two years. 281 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,540 What was your experience with Paul Prairie in Paris-Bert in 282 00:19:43,540 --> 00:19:46,460 terms of choosing the architect? That's the one we were 283 00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:49,600 really jumping in very quickly. That's next month we're 284 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,880 talking about. We did a Ramravan kind of thing. There were some 285 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,640 community members there that was an open meeting. They came in, they made their 286 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,520 presentations. The board did an interview with each, that was part of it, is the 287 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,340 boards and interviews and they, like I said, they each did presentations. 288 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,280 It was pretty clear in that one.

I mean, some of these schools are like, okay, these 461 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:30,040 that choice students that have to take the state test there and that's their test results. 462 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,180 I mean we're here and they're there. 463 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,000 So it was bad enough when they would not provide the money that we're entitled to and 464 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,620 now they're taking money they've never given to us so I believe that's local tax dollars. 465 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,740 They are taking local tax buyers, dollars, we pass a loving, it's going to raise a little 466 00:30:45,740 --> 00:30:50,740 over $3 million and roughly 25% of that is going to go to a private school. 467 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,060 that they can discriminate on gender as well as the ability of who they accept. 468 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,880 So you used that email yesterday, Karen, our side, you probably did not. 469 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,980 So I have to choose the link to link with you right to the state website. 470 00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:07,200 So this is not our data. 471 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,080 This is the state data that says you can pull down, you can pull down the city and 472 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:12,680 pull it down in there. 473 00:31:12,980 --> 00:31:16,440 And then you'll see you look at the Greek array and also the household. 474 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,060 And then you can see how they did. 475 00:31:18,060 --> 00:31:22,840 I'll also attach for you a spreadsheet that we put together here locally that has our 476 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,680 scores across the top and has all that data in there it's easier because our scores 477 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:32,580 won't be in there obviously so it's nice to see how we compared it's really nice to 478 00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:37,200 see how we compared to everybody else and that's that's really been our argument on 479 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,600 Center Mac Hoffman has made a really big deal about how we should have seen as coming you 480 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,360 you know, these underperforming schools, they kind of outslung the coverage here because 481 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,380 they tack schooled like stolen Anthony Wayne, the two schools for Anthony Wayne that 482 00:31:54,380 --> 00:31:58,060 are on the list are in the top 4% in the state in performance and thus. 483 00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:07,440 So, but that K-3 literacy rate which is a very unfair and unilogical, very illogical calculation 484 00:32:08,180 --> 00:32:09,700 is what got them into that mess. 485 00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:19,060 So I think the good news is they just have to run school.
