1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:02,233
July 22nd or July.

2
00:00:02,233 --> 00:00:04,300
Board of education meeting.

3
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,000
We always start our meeting with the Pledge

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
of Allegiance of the.

5
00:00:11,734 --> 00:00:14,033
I pledge allegiance to the flag

6
00:00:14,033 --> 00:00:18,800
of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands.

7
00:00:19,033 --> 00:00:22,033
One nation under God, indivisible,

8
00:00:22,033 --> 00:00:25,033
with liberty and justice for.

9
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:31,033
I want to start off by saying, as you can see,

10
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:33,433
we only have four board members here today.

11
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:36,300
I guess the summer has caught up on us too.

12
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:39,467
We have one board member who joined virtually

13
00:00:39,533 --> 00:00:42,734
who can participate in discussions and in the meeting,

14
00:00:42,734 --> 00:00:46,667
but cannot vote on anything because she's not present.

15
00:00:46,667 --> 00:00:49,233
So we will go through our agenda.

16
00:00:49,233 --> 00:00:52,000
I just wanted to let it.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,734
All right.

18
00:00:52,734 --> 00:00:55,934
We do not have any recognitions

19
00:00:57,934 --> 00:00:58,800
and deletions.

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,166
There are none.

21
00:01:00,166 --> 00:01:02,934
No public communication on agenda items.

22
00:01:02,934 --> 00:01:07,867
I see this one on non-agenda items, which we will go get through later.

23
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,533
That brings us to item five in our agenda,

24
00:01:11,533 --> 00:01:14,734
which is the general consent agenda.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,166
Part of our general consent agenda today includes

26
00:01:19,233 --> 00:01:23,367
a meeting of the June 1st Board of Education workshop.

27
00:01:23,433 --> 00:01:29,300
Be minutes of the June 16th, 2026 Special Board of Education Meeting.

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,367
C minutes of the June 16th,

29
00:01:32,367 --> 00:01:35,300
2026 closed session meeting.

30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:40,433
D minutes of the June 16th, 2026 Regular Board of Education meeting,

31
00:01:41,233 --> 00:01:44,300
the Treasurer's Report of May 2026

32
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:48,667
and F Boys Lacrosse Cooperative Agreement.

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
May I have a resolution? Mr..

34
00:01:52,233 --> 00:01:55,433
Be it therefore resolved that the Troy Board of Education takes action

35
00:01:55,433 --> 00:01:59,433
to approve items A through F on the consent agenda or

36
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:01,600
moved by Mr.

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600
hub supported by Doctor Melton mayor.

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,000
Do you have any questions or comments on the items in this agenda?

39
00:02:09,367 --> 00:02:12,300
Do we have a timeline on when I

40
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:13,734
will make a decision on that?

41
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,166
Freeman.

42
00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:17,667
They've already indicated that it will.

43
00:02:17,667 --> 00:02:20,600
It's approved as long as the board approves it.

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,667
Okay, great.

45
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:24,667
And then by way of

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,800
budgetary standpoint, we'll be going out

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,867
from two teams to one and budget savings there.

48
00:02:29,934 --> 00:02:32,734
So we built that savings into our budget number as well.

49
00:02:32,734 --> 00:02:33,533
Okay.

50
00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:37,734
So but for the sake of the community, can you explain a little bit of what

51
00:02:37,734 --> 00:02:42,667
that is the the lacrosse cooperative agreement and what we're trying to do.

52
00:02:42,734 --> 00:02:48,233
So from time to time when numbers, from participation

53
00:02:48,233 --> 00:02:52,300
numbers at one building will go up and down.

54
00:02:52,367 --> 00:02:56,600
Lacrosse is one of those sports where ebbs and flows, participation

55
00:02:56,667 --> 00:02:57,800
numbers have been flow.

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,734
We had been engaged in a cooperative agreement with other school districts.

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Typically speaking, when you have two larger high schools,

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
mHSAA does not allow for cooperative agreements.

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800
There's a cap in terms of the number based

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,233
and the numbers based upon the enrollment in the high school.

61
00:03:16,233 --> 00:03:19,934
So typically you won't see a cooperative agreement between Troy

62
00:03:19,934 --> 00:03:23,367
High and Athens because our numbers are just too high.

63
00:03:23,934 --> 00:03:25,367
And so they want to encourage you

64
00:03:25,367 --> 00:03:29,166
to cooperate, to have agreements with smaller schools

65
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:30,867
like we had

66
00:03:30,867 --> 00:03:34,000
with Athens and Dale, like we would have with Athens and Avondale.

67
00:03:34,033 --> 00:03:38,934
We've had experience with Berkeley for ski and any number of

68
00:03:40,033 --> 00:03:43,433
gymnastics and so forth, from from time to time.

69
00:03:43,467 --> 00:03:46,734
MHSAA in this case did allow for a

70
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:50,467
an exception given

71
00:03:51,367 --> 00:03:55,033
we just we couldn't find anyone to cooperate to agree with.

72
00:03:55,033 --> 00:03:58,934
So they went ahead and agreed that if the board approved that,

73
00:03:58,934 --> 00:04:01,033
they would approve this agreement.

74
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:04,600
And we're likely to see more of these moving forward as

75
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:09,300
as some sports continue to have and flow terms of participation.

76
00:04:09,433 --> 00:04:14,867
So this means that Troy Athens and Troy High would compete as once similar

77
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:17,867
to hockey are united hockey team sports

78
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,100
and that would save us about 50,000.

79
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:26,800
Yeah, it's about 40 ish $40,000 right around.

80
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:28,300
Okay.

81
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:33,033
That would take that total savings in athletics over over 100,000 okay.

82
00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:35,433
So that would add to the right.

83
00:04:35,433 --> 00:04:37,300
All right. Thank you so much.

84
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,467
Any other questions or comments on the items and the consent agenda.

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,734
If not all those in favor of supporting the agenda, please say yes.

86
00:04:45,734 --> 00:04:48,734
Yes, those of us please say no.

87
00:04:49,367 --> 00:04:51,934
Okay. The resolution passes for zero.

88
00:04:57,734 --> 00:04:58,367
All right.

89
00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:02,000
The next item on our agenda is personnel.

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,033
And we have several items. Yes.

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,667
Mr. Pagels on vacation officer. Mr.

92
00:05:07,667 --> 00:05:12,300
Canfield, director of Employee services, is here to handle the

93
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,300
items A and B, I think.

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Be abandoned and

95
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:21,867
take care of that.

96
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:23,867
You can't see.

97
00:05:23,867 --> 00:05:25,000
Thank you.

98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Doctor.

99
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,233
Members of the board, I have a few resolutions for your consideration.

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,000
The first personnel consideration is extension extensions.

101
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Extension of administrative personnel contracts.

102
00:05:37,033 --> 00:05:41,033
The superintendent recommends that the administrative tracks

103
00:05:41,033 --> 00:05:46,533
of the administrators were listed extended through June 30th, 2028,

104
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,300
without tenure in the administrative positions

105
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:53,300
and subject to the layout provision in the Administrative Handbook, where

106
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:56,300
applicable, as permitted by law.

107
00:05:57,467 --> 00:06:00,467
Thank you.

108
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,867
This includes the.

109
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:04,600
This is a resolution to extend the administrative contracts

110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,734
for all our principles and our assistant principals. No.

111
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,300
Oh, yeah.

112
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:14,033
And assistant principal for all our high schools, middle schools

113
00:06:14,033 --> 00:06:18,166
and elementary schools may have a resolution plus.

114
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,233
Therefore,

115
00:06:23,233 --> 00:06:26,233
resolved, that the Troy Board approved the extension of the contracts

116
00:06:26,367 --> 00:06:30,867
that aforementioned administrators through June 30th, 2028

117
00:06:30,934 --> 00:06:34,734
or as otherwise indicated, in the individual contract

118
00:06:34,734 --> 00:06:39,467
without tenure in administrative positions and subject to the layoff provision

119
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:42,934
of handbook, where applicable and as permitted

120
00:06:42,934 --> 00:06:45,934
by law.

121
00:06:46,166 --> 00:06:47,166
Resolution No.

122
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:50,367
By Mr. Hub, supported by miss Parts.

123
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,100
Any questions or comments regarding this resolution?

124
00:06:55,533 --> 00:06:58,934
Now I just wanted to ask a question.

125
00:06:58,934 --> 00:07:02,800
So it's customary to do a two year contract year

126
00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:08,166
every time the contract has expired June 30th of 2026.

127
00:07:08,166 --> 00:07:11,000
So they're working with that. Correct.

128
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And that's part of the administrative handbook.

129
00:07:14,467 --> 00:07:16,934
It's a two year old two year contract.

130
00:07:16,934 --> 00:07:19,934
So it's automatically yes okay.

131
00:07:20,033 --> 00:07:22,467
Assuming individuals are in good standing.

132
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:25,600
It is. It rolls for an additional year okay.

133
00:07:25,734 --> 00:07:27,734
All right. Wonderful.

134
00:07:27,734 --> 00:07:30,367
If there are no comments or questions

135
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:33,667
all those in favor of the resolution, please say yes.

136
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:36,667
Yes, yes. Those who oppose say no.

137
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:39,166
Resolution passes four. Oh.

138
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:43,367
I believe

139
00:07:43,367 --> 00:07:48,000
for the next consideration is contract extensions for assistant superintendents,

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,367
for business services, employee services, elementary

141
00:07:51,934 --> 00:07:54,367
and secondary discussion.

142
00:07:54,367 --> 00:07:58,033
Superintendent recommends that the Troy Board of Education approved

143
00:07:58,033 --> 00:08:02,533
contract extensions for Dan Trudel, John Pagel, Chris Briefer, and Christine.

144
00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:06,433
The current contracts for these administrators expire

145
00:08:06,433 --> 00:08:09,367
on June 30th, 2026.

146
00:08:09,367 --> 00:08:14,033
These two year successor contracts will commence on July 1st, 2026

147
00:08:14,033 --> 00:08:17,934
and terminate on June 30th, 2028, subject

148
00:08:17,934 --> 00:08:20,934
to the provisions contained there. Any

149
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,467
thank you

150
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:27,600
may have a resolution for extending the contracts for our one

151
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,166
two, three four Assistant Superintendent and Business Services employees spots.

152
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,867
Resolved, that the Troy Board of Education approved the extension of the contract

153
00:08:36,867 --> 00:08:40,600
of the aforementioned administrators through June 30th, 2028

154
00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:44,467
or, as otherwise indicated in administrator's individual contract

155
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:48,467
without tenure, elite administrative positions, and subject to the layoff

156
00:08:48,467 --> 00:08:52,867
provision in the Administrative Handbook, where applicable and is permitted by law

157
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:57,734
and have somebody to submit it.

158
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:58,734
All right.

159
00:08:58,734 --> 00:09:01,734
Move by miss supported I'm

160
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:03,166
Mr. Hart.

161
00:09:03,166 --> 00:09:06,166
Any questions or comments regarding business

162
00:09:07,367 --> 00:09:08,734
okay. None.

163
00:09:08,734 --> 00:09:12,600
All those in favor of the resolution, please say yes. Yes.

164
00:09:12,867 --> 00:09:15,467
Those who oppose say no.

165
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,934
The resolution passes for.

166
00:09:17,934 --> 00:09:19,000
I haven't been asking.

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,166
Stephanie, do you have any questions for any of those?

168
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:23,800
Please do raise your hand if you do.

169
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,533
Sorry, I don't have any questions. I'll raise my hand.

170
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:29,533
Thank you. Appreciate that. Thank you.

171
00:09:30,166 --> 00:09:31,000
All right.

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,433
The next item on the agenda is.

173
00:09:33,433 --> 00:09:36,300
Should I go first or you want to finish it? Okay. All right.

174
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:41,600
That's item number C, which is superintendent X contract extension.

175
00:09:41,734 --> 00:09:46,033
The board has recently completed the superintendent doctor performance

176
00:09:46,033 --> 00:09:51,000
evaluation and would like to share the following assessment to the community.

177
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:55,600
The board's evaluation reflects strong, consistent confidence in doctor

178
00:09:56,367 --> 00:10:00,166
leadership across all the six categories assessed.

May have a resolution, please, Mr. Hough.

247
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,367
If there were resolved that the Board of Education

248

249
00:14:21,934 --> 00:14:23,600

Hoff, supported by Doctor Melton.

253
00:14:35,934 --> 00:14:38,934
Any questions or comments regarding.

254
00:14:42,033 --> 00:14:44,000
Graduation?

255
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Yeah, yeah, we haven't voted on it.

256
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:52,467
I just wanted to return to the audience

257
00:14:52,467 --> 00:14:55,600
that this is actually a replacement position, not a new position.

258
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,000
We had our previous finance director, Lee was recently.

259
00:14:59,033 --> 00:15:01,100
Right. Okay. All right.

260
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,533
All those in favor of the resolution, please say yes. Yes.

261
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,934
Those who are both say no.

262
00:15:06,934 --> 00:15:07,300
All right.

263
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:09,000
The resolution passes for.

264
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,600
And. Oh.

265
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Welcome, person.

266
00:15:12,934 --> 00:15:13,467
Thank you.

267
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:16,467
Thank you sir.

268
00:15:17,533 --> 00:15:17,934
Okay.

269
00:15:17,934 --> 00:15:20,934
That finishes our personnel.

270
00:15:20,934 --> 00:15:23,600
Any curriculum items today?

271
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Oh there's nothing. All right.

272
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,367
Thank you.

273
00:15:26,367 --> 00:15:31,233
And that brings us to the four business items that we have on our agenda.

274
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:35,000
First being Poland Park middle school security.

275
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,233
Stephanie, you should be able to see this.

276
00:15:48,233 --> 00:15:48,934
Hopefully.

277
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:53,000
Thank you.

278
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,867
So we have four items under business for today's meeting,

279
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,867
two of which are related to Bowling Park Middle School.

280
00:15:59,867 --> 00:16:02,000
So these are bond expenditures.

281
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,800
So as part of all of our projects across the district were upgrading

282
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,600
the access control security, the aging systems as well.

283
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,533
So Bowling and Larson and Athens are all getting epic

284
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,433
as they progress through their renovation.

285
00:16:15,433 --> 00:16:19,166
So now that we are into the demolition phase and construction

286
00:16:19,166 --> 00:16:22,734
phase of Bowling Park Middle School, we want to get this ordered ahead of time.

287
00:16:22,734 --> 00:16:25,934
That way we have those pieces of equipment in time for

288
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,300
the opening in August of 2027.

289
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,934
So this bid was split into two parts.

290
00:16:31,934 --> 00:16:36,233
So people driven technology has the access control and the video surveillance.

291
00:16:36,233 --> 00:16:38,433
So camera upgrades to that building.

292
00:16:38,433 --> 00:16:41,800
So their bid was $217,634.

293
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,800
And then VSC, who was also the same contractor

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,600
installing the Epic emergency and paging systems

295
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,000
that the other buildings also won this bid for $323,919,

296
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,433
so the total would be 541,005, 53 and $0.20.

297
00:16:58,433 --> 00:17:01,166
And then this would be funded out of 2023,

298
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,000
right?

299
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Wonderful.

300
00:17:06,033 --> 00:17:10,233
May have a resolution for the paging security and paging system.

301
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,667
Doctor Melton therefore resolved that the bid for security,

302
00:17:13,667 --> 00:17:16,667
paging and access controls be awarded as follows.

303
00:17:16,734 --> 00:17:19,934
That this amount be approved as an expenditure of the 2023

304
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,033
Capital Projects Fund people driven

305
00:17:23,033 --> 00:17:26,033
technology for access control

306
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:30,233
and amount of $217,634.20

307
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:34,166
back incorporated for the Emergency Notification of Aging Systems

308
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:37,367
and the amount of 323,919,

309
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:41,934
for a total of $541,553.20.

310
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,233
They have some budgets.

311
00:17:45,233 --> 00:17:46,166
All right.

312
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:49,734
Resolution moved by Doctor Melton, supported by miss parts.

313
00:17:49,734 --> 00:17:52,367
Any questions or comments regarding this?

314
00:17:52,367 --> 00:17:55,367
Assume we're gonna have to do this for a large sum to actually

315
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,300
do this next year.

316
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:00,600
And we've done this for Smith. Yeah.

317
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,934
So the new Smith was on the last June package.

318
00:18:04,033 --> 00:18:07,800
And then the ultimate we actually got this last summer as well.

319
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,600
So Bolan and Larson are both going

320
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,600
to be utilizing this system, the epic system in the old Smith.

321
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,367
That way they can train and learn that way

322
00:18:14,367 --> 00:18:17,166
when they go into their new building, it's going to be the exact same system.

323
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:21,233
Is this the same system that was used for visitors?

324
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,867
You show your driver's license.

325
00:18:23,867 --> 00:18:25,667
So that's that's that's a good thing.

326
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:26,867
Visitor management.

327
00:18:26,867 --> 00:18:30,367
So what this one is, is it's a big display in the main office

328
00:18:30,367 --> 00:18:31,467
with a map of the building.

329
00:18:31,467 --> 00:18:35,033
And then it pages, and you can intercom with each classroom individually.

330
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:38,467
Every teacher in that classroom has a lanyard with a device on it.

331
00:18:38,734 --> 00:18:42,600
And then in an instance of an emergency that can push one button directly,

332
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,100
communicate with the front office, or that can probably appropriate authorities

333
00:18:46,433 --> 00:18:49,467
if needed. But then it also can trace that.

334
00:18:49,467 --> 00:18:54,033
Once you trigger that panic button, essentially you can actually trace

335
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:57,467
that through the building on that display right inside of the office.

336
00:18:57,467 --> 00:19:00,166
So it's just more for emergency situation.

337
00:19:00,166 --> 00:19:03,300
Does that also notify the Troy police and stuff like that?

338
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:05,100
The classroom has to notify the main office,

339
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,100
and then the main office would prompt that communication to the

340
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,667
that's not part of this system.

341
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:11,467
Yeah, that's that's the emergency page.

342
00:19:11,467 --> 00:19:13,467
Oh that is also part of the story.

343
00:19:13,467 --> 00:19:14,467
Okay. All right.

344
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:15,934
Right.

345
00:19:15,934 --> 00:19:17,166
Good. Thank you.

346
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:21,433
And does it have enough safeguards in place from like, hacking and other stuff

347
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,533
like that? Yeah.

348
00:19:24,533 --> 00:19:26,734
Systems and systems.

349
00:19:26,734 --> 00:19:29,033
That's my concern when it comes to video surveillance.

350
00:19:29,033 --> 00:19:31,166
And if there is any kind of.

351
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:35,533
Yeah, we have here that we connected to obtain the life.

352
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:38,467
Okay.

353
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:39,367
Sounds good.

354
00:19:39,367 --> 00:19:41,300
Okay.

355
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:43,734
Stephanie, did you have any questions?

356
00:19:43,734 --> 00:19:44,934
She's gone.

357
00:19:44,934 --> 00:19:45,600
She's there.

358
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,033
Oh. She's here.

359
00:19:47,033 --> 00:19:49,367
Yeah. I don't have any questions. Thank you.

360
00:19:49,367 --> 00:19:51,867
Any questions? Okay. All right.

361
00:19:51,867 --> 00:19:54,667
If no questions, then we can vote on it.

362
00:19:54,667 --> 00:19:58,467
All those in favor of this resolution, please say yes. Yes.

363
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,433
Those who oppose say no.

364
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:04,300
Resolution passes for. Oh.

365
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:05,934
Thank you. Right.

366
00:20:05,934 --> 00:20:11,367
The next is our bowling park, middle school classroom and specialty

367
00:20:11,433 --> 00:20:14,433
ave symptoms. So this bid pack went out.

368
00:20:14,467 --> 00:20:19,300
And this one primarily covers all of the classroom audio visual technology.

369
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:21,467
So this is going to be the screens and the speakers.

370
00:20:21,467 --> 00:20:22,867
Everything within that.

371
00:20:22,867 --> 00:20:26,467
And then also covering the larger spaces, larger spaces

372
00:20:26,734 --> 00:20:30,000
such as gyms, music classrooms, the commons areas.

373
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,033
So this is going to cover all of the technology

374
00:20:32,033 --> 00:20:33,367
inside of that building as well.

375
00:20:33,367 --> 00:20:38,533
So for this project in particular, we had an account doing the AB.

376
00:20:38,533 --> 00:20:43,100
So they've done all of the AV over at the new school as well.

377
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:46,934
So their bid came in at $135,850.

378
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,867
And then specialty AB is digital

379
00:20:48,867 --> 00:20:52,433
H technology, who's very prominent in the school world for specialty.

380
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,467
So we've worked with them quite a bit in this district as well.

381
00:20:55,467 --> 00:20:58,734
So that came in at $315,001.

382
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,166
We do like a small contingency with this.

383
00:21:01,166 --> 00:21:03,734
Just as we get into different spaces in a new building.

384
00:21:03,734 --> 00:21:06,367
There's often ads requested by that building.

385
00:21:06,367 --> 00:21:09,300
So we typically reserve about 10%.

386
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,867
The goal is obviously not to use all of that,

387
00:21:10,867 --> 00:21:14,734
but it provides us with some flexibility to work with the building directly,

388
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,800
especially if they get into that space and start using it for the first time.

389
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,800
So grand total of $495,937.18.

390
00:21:22,867 --> 00:21:26,100
And this is funded through our 2023 bond fund.

391
00:21:26,734 --> 00:21:27,867
Okay. Yeah.

392
00:21:27,867 --> 00:21:30,233
Stupid on the classroom and specialty resistance.

393
00:21:30,233 --> 00:21:32,000
May have a resolution, please.

394
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,033
Be there for resolve that the big classroom

395
00:21:37,033 --> 00:21:40,467
audio visual and specialty audio visual will be awarded

396
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:44,000
as follows and at this amount, be approved as expenditure of the 2023

397
00:21:44,033 --> 00:21:47,734
Capital Projects Fund classroom Ave and account

398
00:21:47,734 --> 00:21:52,467
TSG for $135,850.98.

399
00:21:52,867 --> 00:21:56,800
Specialty or specialty AV Digital Age technologies

400
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,934
for $315,000 and $1

401
00:22:01,934 --> 00:22:05,033
contingency of 10%, $45,000,

402
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:09,800
$45,085.20, for a total of 49

403
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,800
4959, three, seven and 18.

404
00:22:14,033 --> 00:22:16,000
All right.

405
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,667
Resolution moved by Mr.

406
00:22:17,667 --> 00:22:20,233
Hubbard, supported by miss.

407
00:22:20,233 --> 00:22:22,934
Any questions or comments regarding this?

408
00:22:22,934 --> 00:22:26,600
I just have one question with this particular contingency.

409
00:22:28,934 --> 00:22:30,467
The way you phrased it is,

410
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:34,734
is it set aside so that once the teachers move in

411
00:22:34,734 --> 00:22:38,734
or staff move in, if they find that they need something?

412
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,300
So this is not something that's going in up front.

413
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:42,934
It's like held kind of bad.

414
00:22:42,934 --> 00:22:46,467
So we reserve those dollars as more pre-approved by the board.

415
00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:48,100
That way we have the flexibility

416
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:52,667
if they enter that building in August and they say we need a TV in this space.

417
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,734
Then we're in charge to that contingency.

418
00:22:54,734 --> 00:22:55,734
Right.

419
00:22:55,734 --> 00:22:58,300
Thank you. Yeah. I also have a question.

420
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:01,300
Can you elaborate a little bit on the classroom audio visual.

421
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,600
So other than the TV, what other kind of equipment are they talking about?

422
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,934
So every classroom has a clock.

423
00:23:06,934 --> 00:23:09,433
So it's not here in the hallways now.

424
00:23:09,433 --> 00:23:14,300
But so they're digital clocks that integrates in then with the epic system.

425
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,734
So you can actually display things on those box.

426
00:23:16,734 --> 00:23:19,734
And then you also have the speaker mounted above.

427
00:23:19,734 --> 00:23:20,934
If a teacher wants to project

428
00:23:20,934 --> 00:23:24,600
to the TV in that classroom, we have the big screens in each classroom.

429
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:28,734
And then from there, the individual microphone as well,

430
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,867
that is part of the FM system, can serve as microphone to the classroom speaker.

431
00:23:33,033 --> 00:23:34,033
So if it's a larger class

432
00:23:34,033 --> 00:23:38,467
and the teacher wants to amplify is or her voice, than they can do so okay.

433
00:23:38,533 --> 00:23:42,367
And these are in every single classroom are also in the open areas,

434
00:23:42,433 --> 00:23:44,300
some in common areas as well.

435
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:47,367
It just depends like we don't have screens necessarily in every comments area,

436
00:23:47,367 --> 00:23:50,233
but we're going to have the speakers in the commons areas, the clocks

437
00:23:50,233 --> 00:23:53,667
with the digital signage on it and then in the classrooms as well.

438
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:58,000
Just curious, what are we doing with our old TVs that are in the old park?

439
00:23:58,433 --> 00:24:00,800
They went to Troy. Had they went to Troy High?

440
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,233
Yeah, they were less than two years old. So okay.

441
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:04,734
We were kind of reserving them that we do.

442
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:07,100
We have to pay for storage and then move them back.

443
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:08,300
We just said they're new enough.

444
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,667
We'll ship them over and throughout the district.

445
00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:13,800
And the Troy High stuff. Old, much older.

446
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:16,600
Very good.

447
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,300
Thank you.

448
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:17,800
All right.

449
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Any other questions?

450
00:24:21,467 --> 00:24:22,934
All right. If we don't have any.

451
00:24:22,934 --> 00:24:26,233
All those in favor of the resolution, please say yes. Yes.

452
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,934
Those who oppose say no.

453
00:24:28,934 --> 00:24:31,033
Resolution passes for.

454
00:24:31,033 --> 00:24:33,367
Thank you.

455
00:24:33,367 --> 00:24:34,033
All right.

456
00:24:34,033 --> 00:24:38,734
Next on our agenda is Troy Robotics Center lease.

457
00:24:39,867 --> 00:24:42,867
So we are.

458
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,734
So we are in the process.

459
00:24:54,734 --> 00:24:57,734
We've been working with an outside realtor.

460
00:24:58,367 --> 00:25:02,300
Our robotics team kind of go through different options in the market locally

461
00:25:02,433 --> 00:25:06,467
in terms of potential space for them to house some of their programing.

462
00:25:06,467 --> 00:25:10,467
So we've looked at about 6 or 7 different spaces at this point.

463
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:13,467
We've honed in on one in particular.

464
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,367
It's stalled a little bit there because the owner was actually selling it

465
00:25:17,367 --> 00:25:18,467
to another owner

466
00:25:18,467 --> 00:25:21,600
at the same time we were making an offer, so we had to wait for some of the closing

467
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,233
to take place.

468
00:25:22,233 --> 00:25:25,800
But we've kind of gone back and forth with some offers and counter

469
00:25:25,867 --> 00:25:29,100
offers to stick within a bunch of figure that we're looking for.

470
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:32,166
And so at this point, we're still hashing out some of those

471
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:35,533
finer details before we can sign a final agreement.

472
00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:37,367
But what the resolution does.

473
00:25:37,367 --> 00:25:39,033
We worked with our attorney

474
00:25:39,033 --> 00:25:41,800
who's handling some of the review on these lease agreements,

475
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,934
and we had asked if there was a way that we could bring forth a resolution

476
00:25:44,934 --> 00:25:47,934
to this board that would essentially grant

477
00:25:47,934 --> 00:25:51,100
the final authority to sign the final lease agreement,

478
00:25:51,467 --> 00:25:54,667
obviously pending further legal review once we finalize that.

479
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:58,000
But we wanted to make sure that we had this ability as we continue

480
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
to progress through this process with the landlord,

481
00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:04,800
in order to get that in place before the start of the school year.

482
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,467
So we did identify a space over.

483
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:10,367
It's at the south end of the district.

484
00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:13,100
It's technically Royal Oak, it's on Maya Drive,

485
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:16,934
but it's a fairly large facility that has ample

486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,467
electrical connections and large spaces for a lot of the the robotic programing.

487
00:26:22,467 --> 00:26:24,100
And then it's got a loading dock.

488
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,934
It's got a front office area with some conference rooms and bathrooms,

489
00:26:26,934 --> 00:26:31,467
and it's really kind of like that perfect spot for them.

490
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:34,233
So we want to make sure that obviously we're sticking to

491
00:26:34,233 --> 00:26:35,433
what we have budgeted for

492
00:26:35,433 --> 00:26:38,467
in terms of this lease, but our commitment was to try to find

493
00:26:38,467 --> 00:26:41,867
something that we could lease for about a five year period, with the hopes

494
00:26:41,867 --> 00:26:45,800
that we could find or build something internally in that five year frame.

495
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,734
So we do, like I said, have a final lease agreement in place.

496
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:52,600
We're just kind of going through all the other add ons.

497
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,533
You got to think of real estate taxes and utilities and all of that.

498
00:26:55,533 --> 00:26:57,367
So those things will negotiate.

499
00:26:57,367 --> 00:27:00,734
And then pending that, we will then bring it back to our journey

500
00:27:00,734 --> 00:27:01,800
for final review.

501
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,467
And then doctor would,

502
00:27:04,467 --> 00:27:07,033
with this resolution, have the authority to sign off on that.

503
00:27:07,033 --> 00:27:08,033
Then obviously at that point

504
00:27:08,033 --> 00:27:10,934
we would share the final details with the board as well.

505
00:27:10,934 --> 00:27:14,300
I don't want you to reveal any numbers, but what's the range of the cost?

506
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,800
Approximately.

507
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,467
So they base everything on a per square foot basis, and that's just for the lease.

508
00:27:20,467 --> 00:27:23,300
And then you typically get a share of that building.

509
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:26,867
You know, in this case it's like a 30% share of the property taxes,

510
00:27:27,033 --> 00:27:29,867
which we have to pay as a district and then some utility costs.

511
00:27:29,867 --> 00:27:31,467
And then there's some other things in there

512
00:27:31,467 --> 00:27:34,467
that we got to go back and forth with the landlord on that

513
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,233
we'll push back a little bit just to try to repay the property taxes.

514
00:27:38,934 --> 00:27:42,033
So public schools, typically we don't pay state of Michigan.

515
00:27:42,033 --> 00:27:45,600
I was going to say I was tax, but in this case for at least we were

516
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,367
we have to pay because being a nonprofit and a public institution,

517
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:50,734
we still have to pay.

518
00:27:50,734 --> 00:27:51,600
So maybe it'd be easier.

519
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,867
So what's the going rate right now for space.

520
00:27:53,867 --> 00:27:58,033
So this one is going to come in around the $90,000 year mark.

521
00:27:58,033 --> 00:27:59,734
And then there's some additional.

522
00:27:59,734 --> 00:28:01,734
And that's where we want to get some firmer numbers of

523
00:28:01,734 --> 00:28:03,800
like what would the property taxes be for us.

524
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,600
That way we can get a total number, but it's in line with what

525
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,300
we were budgeting for.

526
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:11,367
We're going to use some of the capital maintenance

527
00:28:11,367 --> 00:28:14,600
funding for the next full year to pay for the first year

528
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,934
releases, transitioning through the buyout and everything too.

529
00:28:16,934 --> 00:28:21,033
So but we're we're comfortable as a team with that figure.

530
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:26,467
And the place is conducive enough for younger miners students.

531
00:28:26,533 --> 00:28:28,667
Yes, it's just under 80 200ft².

532
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:30,367
So I mean, it's a fairly large facility.

533
00:28:30,367 --> 00:28:32,000
It's about 20ft ceilings.

534
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,867
It's very open.

535
00:28:32,867 --> 00:28:35,867
It was actually a bounce house is what was in there previously.

536
00:28:35,867 --> 00:28:39,800
So it's it's it's a good spot that happened just on the market

537
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,667
but also switching owners

538
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:45,233
to which put a little wrinkle in there but nothing we can work for.

539
00:28:45,533 --> 00:28:46,600
Okay okay

540
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,600
robotics team taking a look at it.

541
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,600
Have they seen they locked the facility too.

542
00:28:52,934 --> 00:28:55,300
Yeah. You guys get a thumbs up for it?

543
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:58,300
Yeah, they're on here.

544
00:28:58,367 --> 00:29:01,300
Would it be for all the robotics teams in Troy?

545
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:01,934
That's the goal.

546
00:29:01,934 --> 00:29:04,433
My understanding is a lot of the equipment would remain in the buildings.

547
00:29:04,433 --> 00:29:07,033
We don't want to get rid of those spaces, but this would just provide

548
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:11,734
a more unified spot for them to gather as a larger team if they wanted to.

549
00:29:11,934 --> 00:29:13,033
Okay.

550
00:29:13,033 --> 00:29:13,867
All right.

551
00:29:13,867 --> 00:29:18,300
So okay, we are asked to consider a resolution

552
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:21,533
for leasing a space for the robotics program.

553
00:29:21,734 --> 00:29:23,734
Have a resolution please.

554
00:29:23,734 --> 00:29:28,734
Doctor Melton other for me it resolved number one the school district

555
00:29:29,033 --> 00:29:32,734
or arises the lease of real property to house the program.

556
00:29:32,734 --> 00:29:36,300
Consistent subject number two the superintendent of the school district

557
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:40,600
or has designee is hereby authorized to negotiate the terms and conditions

558
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,300
of the lease and enter into a lease agreement, as well as any

559
00:29:44,367 --> 00:29:47,166
and all other documents necessary and incidental

560
00:29:47,166 --> 00:29:50,300
to the lease of the property for the program on behalf of the school

561
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:54,600
district, on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the superintendent

562
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,600
after consultation with legal counsel and consistent with the budget.

563
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:01,734
And I have someone to support it.

564
00:30:01,734 --> 00:30:03,433
Support

565
00:30:03,433 --> 00:30:06,433
moved by Doctor Melton supported by Mr..

566
00:30:09,233 --> 00:30:12,467
Little bit more about this be there for me.

567
00:30:12,467 --> 00:30:16,367
It further resolved that the full frontal resolution shall be included

568
00:30:16,367 --> 00:30:19,800
in its entirety in the official minutes of this board meeting.

569
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,667
All right, I got it.

570
00:30:22,667 --> 00:30:25,433
Any questions or comments? Now okay.

571
00:30:25,433 --> 00:30:28,934
So what would this be available to our robotics team

572
00:30:29,467 --> 00:30:32,367
really once we finalize the actual agreement.

573
00:30:32,367 --> 00:30:35,600
And then at that point, once we get the go ahead from the landlord

574
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,367
as to when they could occupy that building, there are there is some language

575
00:30:39,367 --> 00:30:42,033
in the lease agreement because it's a new owner.

576
00:30:42,033 --> 00:30:43,600
The owner has plans.

577
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,300
We had requested some flooring upgrades.

578
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:47,734
They're going to paint a little bit.

579
00:30:47,734 --> 00:30:50,367
They're going to paint the exterior of the building. So my scaping work as well.

580
00:30:50,367 --> 00:30:54,533
So some of that may happen after occupancy if we come to a final agreement.

581
00:30:54,533 --> 00:30:58,233
So our goal is hopefully within the next 30 days okay.

582
00:30:58,467 --> 00:31:01,667
So within for the school year at the school year that's the goal. Yes.

583
00:31:02,734 --> 00:31:05,233
So I have a general question.

584
00:31:05,233 --> 00:31:09,033
I know this is a lease and rooted.

585
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,934
How would the finances or numbers worked out

586
00:31:12,934 --> 00:31:17,734
if he had owned the property or have or property that could be used, I wonder.

587
00:31:18,367 --> 00:31:21,033
So in essence, what would a property like that cost

588
00:31:21,033 --> 00:31:25,033
or not that, but build something among our in our own buildings?

589
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:28,934
Yeah, I mean, it really just depends on the size of what you're going to build.

590
00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:33,867
You know, going rate of new build or even a renovation is probably $350

591
00:31:33,934 --> 00:31:34,800
square foot.

592
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,433
So something like this will be $350 per square foot times 8000.

593
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:43,934
And there'll be a three sizable number to build, which as we look

594
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,166
at Athens and other spaces around the district and, you know,

595
00:31:47,166 --> 00:31:51,300
we're constantly assessing every year, but that's what we want to look into

596
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:54,734
and get this lease, get in the space to operate for now.

597
00:31:54,734 --> 00:31:58,734
And then let us kind of go through the entire district and on your side.

598
00:31:58,734 --> 00:32:01,734
What might be the most appropriate out there internally.

599
00:32:02,033 --> 00:32:03,533
And as we are building

600
00:32:03,533 --> 00:32:08,300
Athens, would there be a possibility to have a location for us?

601
00:32:08,367 --> 00:32:08,600
Yeah.

602
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,033
So Athens, that first project off in the spring,

603
00:32:11,033 --> 00:32:14,300
that's going to be primarily the addition piece.

604
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:17,000
And then as we look at the renovation of the rest of the building,

605
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,800
that's where we could assess whether or not we could fit something in there.

606
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:21,467
At that point,

607
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:24,300
though, you're talking 3 or 4 years down the road before that starts.

608
00:32:24,300 --> 00:32:25,867
So that's why we're looking at a five year

609
00:32:25,867 --> 00:32:28,800
lease right now just to give us that good time.

610
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,166
Yeah.

611
00:32:29,166 --> 00:32:32,300
The intention would be to have space, adequate space built

612
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:36,300
into our facilities as we complete renovations moving forward.

613
00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:39,734
Athens moving into the renovation at the end of the bond at Troy

614
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,734
High, work that we're doing at Bolton and Large and so forth.

615
00:32:43,934 --> 00:32:46,867
But in the short term, we recognize,

616
00:32:46,867 --> 00:32:49,467
in cooperation with the Robotics Foundation,

617
00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:54,300
that we need to have a space immediately so that they can continue their good work.

618
00:32:56,166 --> 00:32:58,934
The money's coming from the bond fund.

619
00:32:58,934 --> 00:33:03,867
So we have a finance fund right now that had just over $600,000

620
00:33:04,033 --> 00:33:06,934
reserved prior to our bond.

621
00:33:06,934 --> 00:33:09,000
So fortunately, the voters supported that bond,

622
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,166
and that allowed us to just reserve those values in a separate form.

623
00:33:12,166 --> 00:33:16,300
So the thought was, for this upcoming school year, in light of the large scale

624
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:20,000
reductions, we would find the first year of the lease out of that money,

625
00:33:20,233 --> 00:33:24,033
and then each year kind of assess how we want to phase in legally.

626
00:33:24,033 --> 00:33:27,300
That's allowed us to use the it was a general fund, dollars

627
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:28,166
that were just shifted

628
00:33:28,166 --> 00:33:32,166
into a reserved capital fund for repairs across the district.

629
00:33:32,166 --> 00:33:33,934
So there's no restriction on me.

630
00:33:33,934 --> 00:33:34,300
Okay.

631
00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:38,300
So it's not a separate fund funded by a different it's a separate fund.

632
00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:40,367
But the money was transferred out of the general fund,

633
00:33:40,367 --> 00:33:42,000
which is where repairs normally came from.

634
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,734
But they wanted to build up some money to pay for larger scale repairs.

635
00:33:45,934 --> 00:33:49,667
But with the bond passage, we have not used any of those dollars at this place.

636
00:33:49,734 --> 00:33:50,033
Okay.

637
00:33:50,033 --> 00:33:52,667
So the first year we're going to use that money. Correct.

638
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:55,600
And then we can circle back as a board in the spring and assess

639
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,100
if we want to do that for another year, depending on our finances at that point.

640
00:34:00,166 --> 00:34:05,000
So this is what I ask is because general fund money is super important right now.

641
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:08,667
So we're trying to see how to best use other funds for this.

642
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:11,467
So this felt like an appropriate use of those dollars.

643
00:34:11,467 --> 00:34:13,867
Just it's not often you have to find a robotic space.

644
00:34:13,867 --> 00:34:18,367
So given that those dollars are sitting there, it helps by some time,

645
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:19,533
you know, by not having to charge

646
00:34:19,533 --> 00:34:23,100
into the general fund next year, but then also longer term at internally,

647
00:34:23,166 --> 00:34:26,800
do we have bond dollars that could support some type of project?

648
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,000
Okay. Thank you.

649
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:32,600
Definitely have any questions.

650
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,033
I could not I'm good.

651
00:34:35,033 --> 00:34:37,800
Thank you. Thank you. Stephanie.

652
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,166
All right then we're going to vote on this resolution.

653
00:34:42,166 --> 00:34:45,467
All those in favor of the resolution, please say yes. Yes.

654
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,300
Those who oppose say no.

655
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,300
Hay resolution passes for row

656
00:34:51,734 --> 00:34:54,734
has a new date.

657
00:34:59,367 --> 00:35:02,033
Yes. Your persistent.

658
00:35:02,033 --> 00:35:05,033
Thank you.

659
00:35:06,467 --> 00:35:09,934
Okay, so the final item in our business

660
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
agenda is budget update.

661
00:35:14,233 --> 00:35:15,800
So we have as

662
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,800
we shared with the board, we have been watching.

663
00:35:18,867 --> 00:35:21,467
And we appreciate your patience as we've worked

664
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:24,467
towards a.

665
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:26,533
More deep conversation

666
00:35:26,533 --> 00:35:31,233
around the budget and reductions and so forth.

667
00:35:31,367 --> 00:35:34,166
There were some important

668
00:35:34,166 --> 00:35:36,934
things that needed to take place, not the least of

669
00:35:36,934 --> 00:35:40,934
which was the finalization of the state budget, which we have now.

670
00:35:41,533 --> 00:35:44,367
So in conversation

671
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:47,934
as a as a team and working with Mr.

672
00:35:47,934 --> 00:35:52,000
Trudel with thought would be good to highlight kind of where we are now

673
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:55,367
with from a budget standpoint

674
00:35:55,433 --> 00:36:01,800
with factoring in the actual numbers from the outcome of the budget,

675
00:36:01,867 --> 00:36:07,867
the state budget, and then as a board is acutely aware

676
00:36:07,934 --> 00:36:12,533
as as many of our community, there is a a ballot initiative

677
00:36:12,533 --> 00:36:16,667
in August 4th that could have significant impact on our budget.

678
00:36:16,667 --> 00:36:19,166
That is the county wide enhancement village.

679
00:36:19,166 --> 00:36:22,667
And although we don't know the outcome of that today,

680
00:36:22,734 --> 00:36:25,734
we'll know the outcome of that within the next couple of weeks.

681
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,166
And so asked Mr.

682
00:36:28,166 --> 00:36:31,467
Trudeau to kind of factor in what is our budget look like currently,

683
00:36:32,367 --> 00:36:34,533
what would that look like? And, and

684
00:36:35,667 --> 00:36:37,300
keeping in mind

685
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:40,300
the $12 million reduction that the board

686
00:36:40,467 --> 00:36:43,467
charge administration or finding, and then

687
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,367
what would it look like without passage of the enhancement millage moving forward?

688
00:36:48,734 --> 00:36:51,800
As we think about reductions, the necessary reductions

689
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:57,100
we would need to make in the 27, 28 and then ensuing 2829 school year?

690
00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:59,033
And then what about if it passed?

691
00:36:59,033 --> 00:37:00,300
What might that look like?

692
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:04,467
So it can provide the board and the community and idea

693
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:07,667
of where we are short term,

694
00:37:07,667 --> 00:37:10,533
and then where we might be more long term.

695
00:37:10,533 --> 00:37:13,934
So we thought that was a nice place to start,

696
00:37:14,033 --> 00:37:17,033
to give us a basis for conversation and then

697
00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:20,800
an opportunity to to get some input from

698
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,800
the board, as was asked regarding some of the proposed reductions.

699
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:26,033
And then

700
00:37:27,533 --> 00:37:30,033
we'll take it from there.

701
00:37:30,033 --> 00:37:32,367
So you have a friend out of this here.

702
00:37:32,367 --> 00:37:33,433
This is on board docs.

703
00:37:33,433 --> 00:37:36,934
We're also sharing it obviously, so I can see it as well.

704
00:37:37,934 --> 00:37:42,367
So recent areas at play will kind of go through each one here pretty quickly.

705
00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:47,934
But at the top you'll see kind of our projected student FTE for each year.

706
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:53,033
So the current year, 2526 that we just wrapped up, we were at 12,069.

707
00:37:53,433 --> 00:37:57,000
We're targeting around that 1187 funded mark

708
00:37:57,033 --> 00:38:01,667
for the upcoming school year, and then thereafter about 200 FTE losses.

709
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:04,800
What we've been seeing each year over the last couple of years.

710
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,533
And then that's in line with the real one projections as well.

711
00:38:08,533 --> 00:38:12,033
So that's the basis for what those projected FTE

712
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:15,166
foundation allowance.

713
00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:18,000
We had our 10,836 for the current year.

714
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,734
And then the state of Michigan did bump that up.

715
00:38:20,734 --> 00:38:24,467
So all of the numbers here do reflect the revenue piece.

716
00:38:25,166 --> 00:38:29,166
Nothing has officially been sent to us, but based on the estimates

717
00:38:29,166 --> 00:38:31,166
that are being provided by the state of Michigan,

718
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:35,867
those have been included in the 26 and 27 numbers as well.

719
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:39,033
That way, we have the most up to date information from the budget side.

720
00:38:39,033 --> 00:38:43,300
We did come a little bit head from where we were from an original budget,

721
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:44,467
which is good.

722
00:38:44,467 --> 00:38:49,367
The state of Michigan does provide some enrollment stabilization

723
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:53,367
funding for districts that are losing FTE each year.

724
00:38:53,467 --> 00:38:56,867
Historically, that has been just looking back to the prior year.

725
00:38:57,033 --> 00:39:00,100
And then you get a blend of the prior year in your current year,

726
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:02,467
and then you get an additional pot of money.

727
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:04,600
We've been getting around the $600,000

728
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,667
mark per year towards the climbing enrollment the Senate pushed,

729
00:39:08,667 --> 00:39:12,000
and it went through into the final bill, a three year average of that now.

730
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,300
So they're actually going back

731
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:16,300
through more years and then they're blending that rate. So

732
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:21,300
we went from 600,000 up to about 2 million in enrollment stabilization funding.

733
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:26,467
So it's about a 400,000 or $1.4 million increase there.

734
00:39:26,467 --> 00:39:30,667
And then there was a pretty large increase to 31 at risk.

735
00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:35,300
And our section 41 bilingual funding as well for students.

736
00:39:35,533 --> 00:39:38,667
So that was another $600,000 that was added.

737
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:39,867
So what the state did there

738
00:39:39,867 --> 00:39:44,367
is they now have a weighted formula for at risk and L funding

739
00:39:45,367 --> 00:39:48,033
to kind of want to get it to where they believed it should be.

740
00:39:48,033 --> 00:39:49,300
And then going forward,

741
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:53,433
it is supposed to get the same increase that the foundation gets them thereafter.

742
00:39:53,433 --> 00:39:56,667
So it was a pretty big jump this year coming up.

743
00:39:56,667 --> 00:39:57,467
And then after that,

744
00:39:57,467 --> 00:40:01,033
it should be a pretty modest increase in line with the foundation as well.

745
00:40:01,033 --> 00:40:05,867
So a student would get 120%

746
00:40:05,867 --> 00:40:10,166
of what a full time regular FTE is that it depends on the tier.

747
00:40:10,166 --> 00:40:10,867
There's different.

748
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:13,934
We did hear that they get and that's how they dictate the funding based

749
00:40:13,934 --> 00:40:16,934
on the students that we report in the years.

750
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,800
So there's just a specific weight added to that category.

751
00:40:21,166 --> 00:40:24,667
And then based on the enrollment it would then apply those dollars.

752
00:40:24,667 --> 00:40:26,533
So that was codified into law now.

753
00:40:26,533 --> 00:40:30,667
So every year going forward the foundation went up 2.5% this year.

754
00:40:30,734 --> 00:40:34,533
That will be applied to that categorical in the future years as well.

755
00:40:34,734 --> 00:40:35,433
Okay.

756
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:39,467
So all that to say that we're about $2.1 million higher than original budget

757
00:40:39,533 --> 00:40:40,433
on the revenue side.

758
00:40:40,433 --> 00:40:44,300
So that has been factored into the revenue piece here in scenario one

759
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:46,433
for the 2627 school year.

760
00:40:46,433 --> 00:40:49,166
So we were at about 191 million.

761
00:40:49,166 --> 00:40:53,367
So now we're at 193 million mark for budgeted revenue.

762
00:40:53,467 --> 00:40:56,433
So that brought up our fund balance slightly.

763
00:40:56,433 --> 00:40:59,433
Yeah it was around that 13.6% mark.

764
00:40:59,467 --> 00:41:02,467
So we're just over 14 now which is good.

765
00:41:02,734 --> 00:41:04,367
So what was the

766
00:41:05,467 --> 00:41:06,934
and I don't know where this might be in here,

767
00:41:06,934 --> 00:41:13,100
but the total savings we had of the severance incentive plan.

768
00:41:13,166 --> 00:41:16,800
So that would just it's integrated into that $12 million number.

769
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,467
Yeah.

770
00:41:17,467 --> 00:41:20,734
So you'll see in this scenario one, this assumes

771
00:41:20,734 --> 00:41:23,800
this is what we've been using all along where there's no enhancement village.

772
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,800
And let's look out three years to see how how do we have to restructure

773
00:41:28,033 --> 00:41:28,934
our expenditures.

774
00:41:28,934 --> 00:41:31,367
So you'll see nothing for the enhancement knowledge.

775
00:41:31,367 --> 00:41:34,367
And then under reductions that 12 million is the number

776
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:36,734
that was just embedded into the original budget.

777
00:41:36,734 --> 00:41:40,600
So that that is based off of our original budget there.

778
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:46,600
And then in 27, 28 and then 2829, internally,

779
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,100
we have been looking at around $7 million of reductions

780
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:53,467
over each year over the next two years after the school year.

781
00:41:53,467 --> 00:41:57,734
So that that number is really largely driven by that fund balance percentage

782
00:41:57,734 --> 00:41:58,734
you see there on the bottom.

783
00:41:58,734 --> 00:42:02,667
So trying to slowly work our way back up to that 15%

784
00:42:02,667 --> 00:42:06,467
mark, obviously, the only way to do that is to add back to fund balance.

785
00:42:06,467 --> 00:42:10,166
So we could put more than that, but we wanted to find a number

786
00:42:10,166 --> 00:42:13,367
that we felt like would still be a sustainable number

787
00:42:13,367 --> 00:42:16,367
to actually hit in terms of that 7 million.

788
00:42:17,166 --> 00:42:19,600
But again, obviously without an enhancement,

789
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,934
you're looking at another $14 million over two years after this

790
00:42:22,934 --> 00:42:24,166
upcoming school year.

791
00:42:26,033 --> 00:42:29,033
So scenario two looks at

792
00:42:29,033 --> 00:42:34,367
if we were to sustain that same reduction model over the next three years.

793
00:42:34,367 --> 00:42:38,533
So the 12 million this year coming up and then 7 million each of the two years

794
00:42:38,533 --> 00:42:41,533
thereafter, but factoring in an enhancement.

795
00:42:42,533 --> 00:42:45,166
So if the enhancement millage passes

796
00:42:45,166 --> 00:42:48,667
for next year, it's approximately $8.1 million in the first year.

797
00:42:48,667 --> 00:42:52,934
And then that would go up typically by the rate of inflation each year.

798
00:42:52,934 --> 00:42:58,800
So that's factoring in a 2.9% increase for 27, 28 and then 2829.

799
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,367
So I try to highlight those in green just so you can see it broken out

800
00:43:02,433 --> 00:43:04,800
above our general revenue that we're currently getting.

801
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,033
And then the reduction.

802
00:43:06,033 --> 00:43:07,734
So you can see there

803
00:43:07,734 --> 00:43:11,433
if the enhancement millage passed, even with cutting $7 million

804
00:43:11,467 --> 00:43:15,233
in those last two years, you're going to be hovering around that 18% mark.

805
00:43:15,467 --> 00:43:16,166
Okay.

806
00:43:16,166 --> 00:43:20,600
So scenario three I said, okay, let's look at if we could reduce

807
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,300
those future cuts from 7 million down to 3 million each year,

808
00:43:25,033 --> 00:43:28,734
assuming the enhancement millage passes, this is what your fund balance

809
00:43:28,734 --> 00:43:29,934
would look like then thereafter.

810
00:43:29,934 --> 00:43:33,000
So getting us closer to that 15% mark.

811
00:43:33,367 --> 00:43:37,300
So yes, the enhancement helps drastically,

812
00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:41,734
but we still have some restructuring to do that even in those final two years.

813
00:43:41,734 --> 00:43:44,734
If we want to get that number back to that 15% mark.

814
00:43:46,934 --> 00:43:47,734
And then our goal

815
00:43:47,734 --> 00:43:50,934
is we do our audit typically in the month of August.

816
00:43:50,934 --> 00:43:55,734
So once we get our final numbers, we can plug those into the 2526 column.

817
00:43:55,934 --> 00:43:59,233
And then that would then just update this model into the future

818
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:02,300
years.

819
00:44:02,367 --> 00:44:05,467
Is there any more insight into that 12 million?

820
00:44:05,467 --> 00:44:09,934
And where are we stand to what sections we're looking

821
00:44:09,934 --> 00:44:12,934
at in terms of like,

822
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:16,734
yeah, so now that we have our teacher retirements

823
00:44:16,934 --> 00:44:20,367
finalized and we have those numbers and

824
00:44:21,467 --> 00:44:24,934
there are a lot of things that were moving parts in that 12 million reduction.

825
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,467
Right.

826
00:44:25,467 --> 00:44:29,300
So do we have a little more solidification on that that you can share.

827
00:44:29,367 --> 00:44:29,600
Yeah.

828
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,033
So we we had budgeted as part of that 12 million.

829
00:44:33,033 --> 00:44:37,166
We said there would be a million, five in savings from the buyout

830
00:44:37,233 --> 00:44:39,166
if we rehired everybody.

831
00:44:39,166 --> 00:44:42,867
So that number, because that number was based off of

832
00:44:42,934 --> 00:44:46,667
around 50 being fully replaced and taking it.

833
00:44:46,734 --> 00:44:49,033
Our number came in just over 100.

834
00:44:49,033 --> 00:44:49,300
Okay.

835
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:54,867
Well, from from the teacher teachers, we had 67 teachers, seven action 64

836
00:44:54,934 --> 00:45:00,100
I did a couple of but grand total across all groups was just over 100.

837
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:03,600
So that number is likely going to be closer to 2.5 million

838
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,600
from the 1.5 million.

839
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,166
So that's where we as a team have to look at

840
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,033
that.

841
00:45:10,033 --> 00:45:13,800
2.5 million just kind of shifts up to where the 1.5 million was.

842
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,467
And then that leaves about a million remaining that week.

843
00:45:16,467 --> 00:45:21,533
And look at that pot of money in terms of whether or not we can sustain certain

844
00:45:21,533 --> 00:45:26,533
positions or knowing we still have to cut $14 million in future years,

845
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,800
we could just leave it as is as well.

846
00:45:30,734 --> 00:45:31,533
I mean, I guess

847
00:45:31,533 --> 00:45:35,734
the thinking is you don't want to hire somebody who you need to let go time.

848
00:45:35,734 --> 00:45:39,367
So you want to be very strategic and higher back, right? Yes.

849
00:45:39,367 --> 00:45:42,934
Because this the between the buyout and the 12 million we have a lot of

850
00:45:42,934 --> 00:45:47,300
it was just simply through attrition as vacancies worker

851
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,300
and we just didn't.

852
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,800
Taking into consideration also.

853
00:45:58,367 --> 00:46:01,934
That even if enhancements were to pass,

854
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
we're still looking at some significant costs.

855
00:46:06,166 --> 00:46:10,734
So that's I'm sure part of your thoughts in terms of contracting as well.

856
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:11,300
Right?

857
00:46:12,367 --> 00:46:12,533
I mean,

858
00:46:12,533 --> 00:46:18,800
the reality that we're working with is and this is what happens after the after

859
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:23,600
you do a time, any type of separate file,

860
00:46:24,467 --> 00:46:27,000
as you should expect.

861
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,533
And the company told us that you should

862
00:46:28,533 --> 00:46:32,000
expect for the next at minimum the next two years.

863
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:34,433
You're not you're not going to have a neutral.

864
00:46:34,433 --> 00:46:39,033
You're going to have mostly told us next year we should expect for 333 ish

865
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:40,600
and then maybe five the next year.

866
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,467
So very, very minimal.

867
00:46:42,467 --> 00:46:46,600
So any reductions

868
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:50,533
moving forward

869
00:46:50,533 --> 00:46:53,667
are likely done through layoff.

870
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:58,100
And we have been successful in

871
00:46:59,033 --> 00:46:59,734
the sake of the ordinance.

872
00:46:59,734 --> 00:47:05,467
We've been in successful this this go round through the severance

873
00:47:05,734 --> 00:47:09,000
to not have to lay any anyone off in any group.

874
00:47:09,734 --> 00:47:13,100
And so we were able to do that through moving, moving some folks around

875
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:14,600
and so forth.

876
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,867
So not everyone is where they may necessarily want to be,

877
00:47:17,867 --> 00:47:22,233
but everyone has a position and we've not had to lay anyone off.

878
00:47:22,233 --> 00:47:24,734
And that would certainly be my recommendation.

879
00:47:24,734 --> 00:47:25,433
Moving forward.

880
00:47:25,433 --> 00:47:29,600
We not put ourselves in a position where we would have to lay someone off,

881
00:47:30,734 --> 00:47:31,433
that that would

882
00:47:31,433 --> 00:47:34,433
be the worst thing that we could do

883
00:47:34,467 --> 00:47:38,033
while also recognizing and we see the other side of that,

884
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:41,300
while also recognizing that we we don't want

885
00:47:41,667 --> 00:47:44,367
we don't want to cut ourselves to thin to the point

886
00:47:44,367 --> 00:47:49,033
where we can't provide services, we can't provide the supports necessary

887
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,800
for students in our in our community moving forward.

888
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,734
So there's that, that needle, if you will, that we have to thread there

889
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,867
to put ourselves in a position to do to do what's right for programing,

890
00:48:02,934 --> 00:48:05,934
to do what's right for.

891
00:48:06,166 --> 00:48:08,867
The wellness and safety, security and all of those things that we

892
00:48:08,867 --> 00:48:12,033
that we value, whilst also

893
00:48:12,033 --> 00:48:15,300
keeping in mind being fiscally prudent

894
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:19,000
and not putting ourselves in a position where where we're going to

895
00:48:20,166 --> 00:48:21,934
have to lay someone off moving forward.

896
00:48:21,934 --> 00:48:22,734
So that's the

897
00:48:22,734 --> 00:48:26,600
that's the delicate dance that we're trying to maneuver through right now.

898
00:48:27,433 --> 00:48:30,000
We do know that there's some additional savings that we that

899
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:35,166
we have to dance point with the with the, the severance.

900
00:48:35,734 --> 00:48:40,600
The question then remains is do we do we push that forward

901
00:48:40,734 --> 00:48:43,734
knowing that there are potentially other reductions

902
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:49,100
or we wanted feedback from the board in terms of

903
00:48:49,433 --> 00:48:52,433
if we were to look at.

904
00:48:54,467 --> 00:48:57,467
Undoing, if you will, or slowing down

905
00:48:57,734 --> 00:49:01,934
some reduction, what might that look like from the board's perspective?

906
00:49:01,934 --> 00:49:05,033
And what we recognize that this

907
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,100
the timing on this was such that,

908
00:49:08,433 --> 00:49:10,734
you know, we had to work through this severance process

909
00:49:10,734 --> 00:49:14,934
and it did not allow board members a lot of opportunity to to provide input.

910
00:49:14,934 --> 00:49:17,867
So we recognize that and value that input

911
00:49:17,867 --> 00:49:21,467
and want to be able to utilize that input moving forward.

912
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,033
And also acknowledging that we've got a couple of weeks here,

913
00:49:25,367 --> 00:49:28,800
the ballot initiative on August 4th, you know, that that

914
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,734
potentially changes a significant amount of this conversation, right?

915
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,800
It changes this conversation one way or the other fairly significantly. And

916
00:49:39,033 --> 00:49:40,934
we certainly want to give ourselves

917
00:49:40,934 --> 00:49:45,100
the time to, to be able to to see the outcome of that and factor that

918
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:48,734
into the decisions that we make that impact us

919
00:49:48,734 --> 00:49:51,734
at the start of the school year.

920
00:49:53,367 --> 00:49:55,467
Any comments from you?

921
00:49:55,467 --> 00:49:57,867
So I think

922
00:49:57,867 --> 00:49:59,734
what I'm hearing

923
00:49:59,734 --> 00:50:05,367
is that for for now, we have to assume that we have to go on the budget as is,

924
00:50:05,367 --> 00:50:09,300
like we can't we can't make decisions that money we don't have.

925
00:50:09,467 --> 00:50:12,033
Right.

926
00:50:12,033 --> 00:50:14,533
And 7 million is a lot

927
00:50:14,533 --> 00:50:17,800
to cut in for years without laying off anybody.

928
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,367
Well, I don't tell me if this is incorrect,

929
00:50:21,367 --> 00:50:25,367
but in an organization where there's people are your main thing.

930
00:50:26,033 --> 00:50:30,233
I don't see a way in which you can reduce 7 million

931
00:50:30,300 --> 00:50:34,300
without affecting first about am I wrong?

932
00:50:35,734 --> 00:50:37,734
No, I don't know.

933
00:50:37,734 --> 00:50:40,166
I mean we can we will continue to be strategic

934
00:50:40,166 --> 00:50:43,166
in terms of.

935
00:50:45,033 --> 00:50:47,166
Cutting around the edges

936
00:50:47,166 --> 00:50:50,033
and reducing tightening.

937
00:50:50,033 --> 00:50:51,033
And that's where I think

938
00:50:51,033 --> 00:50:53,667
that we're important for folks to understand this go round.

939
00:50:53,667 --> 00:50:55,033
We really we really tighten.

940
00:50:55,033 --> 00:50:58,033
So we tightened ratios where we could

941
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:02,600
we we were able to work

942
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,600
within current.

943
00:51:07,433 --> 00:51:09,433
Contractual agreements

944
00:51:09,433 --> 00:51:12,367
and so forth in order to, in order

945
00:51:12,367 --> 00:51:15,367
to kind of constrict.

946
00:51:16,367 --> 00:51:17,467
But yes, it would

947
00:51:17,467 --> 00:51:21,033
likely we're likely talking about programing cuts,

948
00:51:21,033 --> 00:51:24,033
which leads to people.

949
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,000
It's hard, if that is to say.

950
00:51:29,166 --> 00:51:30,934
I have a general question,

951
00:51:30,934 --> 00:51:35,433
this reduction here, the last table that you guys have shared

952
00:51:35,433 --> 00:51:40,600
with us had a whole lot of list of items in which the

953
00:51:42,233 --> 00:51:45,467
teacher voluntary retirement

954
00:51:46,033 --> 00:51:48,467
was accounted for, 1.5 million.

955
00:51:48,467 --> 00:51:51,467
But now that has increased to 2.5 million

956
00:51:51,734 --> 00:51:54,800
approximately, assuming you're replacing everybody.

957
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,600
But if you don't, that would be a tiny bit more.

958
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:58,734
Possibly. Right? Right.

959
00:51:58,734 --> 00:52:02,734
And then those fall in the rest of the list, then of the don't replace

960
00:52:02,734 --> 00:52:05,000
because we're removing. Oh you're removing. Okay.

961
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,867
So on the rest we don't double counting.

962
00:52:06,867 --> 00:52:08,000
So okay.

963
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,000
So the potentially if we keep that list the same,

964
00:52:13,166 --> 00:52:17,467
are we saying that would come to 13 million in savings.

965
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:21,800
And that potentially could reduce next year by a couple of million.

966
00:52:22,033 --> 00:52:24,467
That would make that $7 million moving forward.

967
00:52:24,467 --> 00:52:25,934
Right. Exactly.

968
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:27,734
Yeah.

969
00:52:27,734 --> 00:52:30,734
7 million moving forward. Yeah. Correct.

970
00:52:31,367 --> 00:52:35,166
And then whatever additional savings we find comes off of that

971
00:52:35,233 --> 00:52:38,233
makes that reduction even less impactful.

972
00:52:39,934 --> 00:52:43,233
It's the compounding effect that really that really gets us.

973
00:52:43,233 --> 00:52:46,233
And I think that's the piece that our,

974
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,367
our community and that's the piece that most folks just don't, don't understand.

975
00:52:51,467 --> 00:52:55,734
It's it's the compounding from year to year that creates the challenge for us.

976
00:52:56,867 --> 00:53:00,100
And yeah, that was also why it was important for us to, to

977
00:53:01,367 --> 00:53:05,033
to know what our contractual agreements were moving forward

978
00:53:05,033 --> 00:53:08,100
so that we could have a budget for those

979
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:12,300
and so forth, more long term.

980
00:53:16,934 --> 00:53:17,934
I do have a

981
00:53:17,934 --> 00:53:21,367
I asked a question regarding special ad budget,

982
00:53:21,367 --> 00:53:25,033
because this was a topic that we've talked about a little bit

983
00:53:25,367 --> 00:53:28,734
and the fact that we're cutting a decent amount, or at least

984
00:53:28,734 --> 00:53:33,867
that proposal was cutting a decent amount in respect as a percentage.

985
00:53:33,934 --> 00:53:35,367
Sounds like correct. Okay.

986
00:53:35,367 --> 00:53:38,467
But I did want to get a historical perspective.

987
00:53:38,533 --> 00:53:40,734
If there's you can go over that.

988
00:53:40,734 --> 00:53:45,734
And we were able to share some information with the with the board prior.

989
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,667
And we had shared that necessarily publicly.

990
00:53:50,667 --> 00:53:51,300
But, but

991
00:53:52,233 --> 00:53:55,934
so the question was where were we pre-pandemic in terms

992
00:53:55,934 --> 00:54:00,066
of some of the staffing levels versus where are we now post-pandemic?

993
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:04,367
So special from a special education standpoint in

994
00:54:04,367 --> 00:54:07,533
in between 18 2018

995
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,600
and today or where we ended the year,

996
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,433
we increased our costs, increased about $12 million.

997
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,600
Expenditures increased over that period of time, about $12 million.

998
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,600
And during that same period of time, we

999
00:54:21,934 --> 00:54:26,734
the number of students identified with IEPs went up by 34 students.

1000
00:54:26,934 --> 00:54:30,934
So the number of IPS went up by 3 to 4.

1001
00:54:31,033 --> 00:54:32,467
The expenditure itself

1002
00:54:32,467 --> 00:54:36,166
went up to 12,000 or 12 million, just a little over 12 million.

1003
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,467
So a lot of that had to do with the fact that during the pandemic,

1004
00:54:40,467 --> 00:54:43,800
we had those SRS monies and we were directed

1005
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,800
to to spend those monies to support students.

1006
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,600
And that's exactly what we did.

1007
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,467
We directed those monies to help support students,

1008
00:54:51,467 --> 00:54:54,467
and we added staff during that period of time.

1009
00:54:54,867 --> 00:54:59,033
We we just didn't right size that staff

1010
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:01,667
over that same period.

1011
00:55:01,667 --> 00:55:05,166
So when the monies were gone, we didn't immediately right size staff.

1012
00:55:05,233 --> 00:55:08,934
Our goal at that point was to spend that

1013
00:55:08,934 --> 00:55:13,734
23, 24, 24, 25 and then 25 into 26 through attrition.

1014
00:55:13,734 --> 00:55:17,166
We would start reducing staff during that period of time.

1015
00:55:17,166 --> 00:55:19,233
And we attempted to do that.

1016
00:55:19,233 --> 00:55:22,300
We just didn't get the attrition savings over that period of time

1017
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:23,934
that we that we wanted.

1018
00:55:23,934 --> 00:55:26,934
So we couldn't bring down that staffing number over

1019
00:55:26,934 --> 00:55:30,166
that period of time as quickly as we would have liked to have.

1020
00:55:30,233 --> 00:55:33,934
So I would like in this to this is a right sizing

1021
00:55:34,734 --> 00:55:37,000
from from my perspective, in terms

1022
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,000
of the number of students were serving

1023
00:55:40,467 --> 00:55:46,033
in, in relation to the amount of resource that we have to serve students.

1024
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:49,800
So we're just we're more rightsizing based upon the revenue

1025
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,433
that's no longer available to us through the essence.

1026
00:55:53,734 --> 00:55:57,367
And the key here is recognizing that any student that has an

1027
00:55:57,367 --> 00:56:01,600
IEP will be serviced accordingly according to their IP.

1028
00:56:01,934 --> 00:56:05,300
So we're obligated to do and will absolutely do so.

1029
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,600
Any student that needs that will be serviced

1030
00:56:08,867 --> 00:56:11,867
based on the staffing models that we put forward.

1031
00:56:12,166 --> 00:56:14,533
So during that period of time, where did we add staffing?

1032
00:56:14,533 --> 00:56:17,533
Well, we had we had social work staff during that period of time.

1033
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,800
We had some counseling staff during that period in time

1034
00:56:21,867 --> 00:56:25,800
that that that went to help support students.

1035
00:56:26,033 --> 00:56:26,934
We had an increase

1036
00:56:26,934 --> 00:56:30,467
in the number of student support aides during that period of time.

1037
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,667
And quite frankly, we could we could afford it.

1038
00:56:33,667 --> 00:56:36,800
That was an allowable expense through those dollars.

1039
00:56:36,934 --> 00:56:41,600
So that's really rationalized utilizing that.

1040
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,800
Again, as those dollars are no longer there, you'll see that

1041
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,033
those are some of the areas that we, you know, recommended

1042
00:56:48,033 --> 00:56:51,033
some reductions in

1043
00:56:51,300 --> 00:56:53,300
or again, for the community.

1044
00:56:53,300 --> 00:56:56,800
And although we we didn't we did not eliminate any

1045
00:56:57,300 --> 00:57:01,300
in any we did not eliminate any program or any service.

1046
00:57:01,367 --> 00:57:05,734
We simply are reducing in

1047
00:57:05,734 --> 00:57:09,233
some of those areas tightening ratios

1048
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,800
and so forth, in an effort to just bring our staffing more in line.

1049
00:57:14,667 --> 00:57:18,533
In a handful of districts that I've worked with over the last couple of years,

1050
00:57:18,667 --> 00:57:21,934
very common team discussions are going on in those districts.

1051
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,800
Same idea of the right size to the pandemic level.

1052
00:57:26,233 --> 00:57:28,934
If it's any consolation, Dan, I did want

1053
00:57:28,934 --> 00:57:32,233
if you go to the table back again, the one that you're showing before,

1054
00:57:32,867 --> 00:57:37,734
where do our 2627 budget come in that same table?

1055
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:38,934
The numbers.

1056
00:57:38,934 --> 00:57:41,800
So which one do you want to see?

1057
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,166
The one where you showed special based cost

1058
00:57:45,166 --> 00:57:48,467
for 2018 to 20 9 to 2019.

1059
00:57:48,467 --> 00:57:51,100
And then yeah, that one.

1060
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:56,934
So if you had to put in our new budget 2627 budget,

1061
00:57:57,033 --> 00:58:00,367
where would that special ed costs fall within?

1062
00:58:03,233 --> 00:58:05,800
3.3 million of total special ed costs.

1063
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,800
That's both instructional and non instructional.

1064
00:58:09,667 --> 00:58:12,600
We have a couple of classrooms that are so 3.3 reduction.

1065
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,934
So that would be 26 million there.

1066
00:58:16,166 --> 00:58:20,800
So we will bring it back down to 26 million for our 2627 budget.

1067
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,467
Yeah the 2526 numbers probably 31 million.

1068
00:58:25,467 --> 00:58:27,800
So we might be around that. That's last.

1069
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,734
That was the state reported number from last year.

1070
00:58:30,734 --> 00:58:34,667
That was the final number when we reported again in September.

1071
00:58:34,734 --> 00:58:37,734
Will probably be around 31 million.

1072
00:58:37,734 --> 00:58:38,166
Okay.

1073
00:58:38,166 --> 00:58:42,166
Keeping in mind this special ed reporting is always a year in behind.

1074
00:58:42,233 --> 00:58:43,667
Yeah I see okay.

1075
00:58:43,667 --> 00:58:45,667
So so this school year

1076
00:58:45,667 --> 00:58:49,600
that number for special ed cost would be around 31 million.

1077
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:49,800
Yeah.

1078
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:55,734
Then we'll go back down and our proposed reductions would come down to 28 million.

1079
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:57,300
Okay.

1080
00:58:57,300 --> 00:59:01,467
So it's about 12 million higher H and 19.

1081
00:59:01,467 --> 00:59:05,600
There still be 70% more than we were 1819.

1082
00:59:06,033 --> 00:59:08,033
And the other screen I had was the

1083
00:59:09,867 --> 00:59:12,867
I know that there was a question about counselors.

1084
00:59:12,934 --> 00:59:14,934
Yes I did,

1085
00:59:14,934 --> 00:59:17,934
I was able to pull that.

1086
00:59:18,300 --> 00:59:20,166
I just want to share the full screen.

1087
00:59:20,166 --> 00:59:25,467
But you can see so this was I just looked at the payroll system

1088
00:59:25,533 --> 00:59:28,600
and total about the number of guidance counselors

1089
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,600
in 1819, and then the total number of social workers.

1090
00:59:32,100 --> 00:59:36,166
I believe we have two reduction for counselors to attrition.

1091
00:59:36,667 --> 00:59:39,667
So that would get us back to 22,

1092
00:59:40,367 --> 00:59:42,467
1890. Correct.

1093
00:59:42,467 --> 00:59:44,800
And then social workers, I believe, was three.

1094
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:45,367
Right.

1095
00:59:45,367 --> 00:59:48,934
So we'd go back down to about 22 to slightly higher.

1096
00:59:50,233 --> 00:59:53,166
But we've also seen a slight increase on the social work site.

1097
00:59:53,166 --> 00:59:56,166
That's why you're going to see a little bit more than 1819.

1098
00:59:59,467 --> 01:00:01,800
And largely these two categories.

1099
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,867
We have been able to sustain those levels

1100
01:00:04,867 --> 01:00:08,667
over the last couple of years with 31 money.

1101
01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:09,300
Yeah.

1102
01:00:09,300 --> 01:00:13,867
You want to go one more in depth on the 31 sake of the audience and where

1103
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:19,467
how we're, we're we're assuring that we're utilizing those dollars appropriately.

1104
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:19,800
Yeah.

1105
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,367
So a lot of our grants have particularly our title

1106
01:00:23,367 --> 01:00:26,934
grants have supported conferences and professional development.

1107
01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:31,033
Our focus going into this school year is to take a lot of those conferences

1108
01:00:31,033 --> 01:00:34,600
and just put them on the back burner for a little while, and then put in

1109
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,934
staffing into those grants in order to sustain the positions that we do have.

1110
01:00:39,934 --> 01:00:43,667
So something like guidance counselors, we can utilize

1111
01:00:43,667 --> 01:00:47,533
31 Double-A money as well as 31

1112
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,300
a at risk funding for a portion of those guidance counselors.

1113
01:00:51,367 --> 01:00:54,734
So we're already we've been doing that for the last number of years,

1114
01:00:54,867 --> 01:00:56,734
as there's been budget pressure on the general fund.

1115
01:00:56,734 --> 01:00:58,000
We've tried to shift it over.

1116
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,467
And then likewise with social workers are 31 Double-A.

1117
01:01:01,467 --> 01:01:03,934
Grant has really helped support those.

1118
01:01:03,934 --> 01:01:06,734
We do have some carry over into the upcoming school year

1119
01:01:06,734 --> 01:01:09,800
that's been factored in, but we have been told that don't

1120
01:01:09,867 --> 01:01:13,000
expect those dollars after this upcoming school year.

1121
01:01:13,033 --> 01:01:16,033
So it seems like the state is going to start to pair back on those.

1122
01:01:16,033 --> 01:01:21,000
A lot of those 31 AA monies were funded by Esser funds that the state had.

1123
01:01:21,033 --> 01:01:25,033
So those funds were essentially set aside, and then they would pull on them over

1124
01:01:25,033 --> 01:01:27,800
each year. And then that part is starting to dry up on their

1125
01:01:29,166 --> 01:01:30,367
with the new weighted formula.

1126
01:01:30,367 --> 01:01:33,934
Isn't that kind of like replacing in a way more or less?

1127
01:01:33,934 --> 01:01:34,300
Yeah.

1128
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:38,934
So basically you have we probably have $2 million of 31 Double-A expenditures.

1129
01:01:38,934 --> 01:01:42,166
They gave us a $600,000 increase to at risk funding.

1130
01:01:42,233 --> 01:01:42,533
Right.

1131
01:01:42,533 --> 01:01:46,800
So we'll be able to keep some of those 31 AA positions, but not all of them.

1132
01:01:46,934 --> 01:01:49,734
Yeah.

1133
01:01:49,734 --> 01:01:50,867
And from time to time

1134
01:01:50,867 --> 01:01:54,300
I hear I'm here and it's appropriate.

1135
01:01:54,300 --> 01:01:57,367
Some question why, why why would you consider

1136
01:01:57,367 --> 01:02:02,033
making a reduction here or it maintaining this and not that.

1137
01:02:02,367 --> 01:02:06,000
And it goes directly to what what Dan is mentioning right now

1138
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,033
because the state provides categorical.

1139
01:02:09,033 --> 01:02:12,934
They also have clear guardrails around

1140
01:02:12,934 --> 01:02:16,033
how what can be spent within that categorical.

1141
01:02:16,033 --> 01:02:20,533
So as the state provides categorical it required it.

1142
01:02:20,867 --> 01:02:23,867
If we want to take advantage of that money, it requires us that we spend

1143
01:02:23,934 --> 01:02:26,934
or that we're spending our resources within those areas.

1144
01:02:26,934 --> 01:02:31,033
And so that's why in some cases, we have to make choices why we're

1145
01:02:31,033 --> 01:02:35,300
why we're we're maintaining it in this particular group.

1146
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,467
It's because there's a categorical that supports that and doesn't

1147
01:02:38,467 --> 01:02:42,800
allow us to insert a different group into into that.

1148
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,467
And so it's another bit of the dance that we have to do

1149
01:02:46,467 --> 01:02:49,867
with the state in terms of how they provide funding.

1150
01:02:49,867 --> 01:02:52,867
And they're telling us they want us to

1151
01:02:53,467 --> 01:02:56,033
they want us to prioritize funding in certain ways.

1152
01:02:56,033 --> 01:02:57,734
Correct. And we're required to do that.

1153
01:02:57,734 --> 01:03:00,166
And so that's why

1154
01:03:00,166 --> 01:03:03,600
what are we going to get more than one doubling funding this year?

1155
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,734
Because a lot of schools didn't take advantage of it.

1156
01:03:06,934 --> 01:03:09,667
That's a possibility. I would anticipate more will take it.

1157
01:03:09,667 --> 01:03:13,533
About half of last year we budgeted as if everyone took it.

1158
01:03:13,533 --> 01:03:16,734
And then obviously, once you are required to submit that, typically

1159
01:03:16,734 --> 01:03:19,800
in October, we'll get the final number and then we'll amend it thereafter.

1160
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,934
But so there may be some money coming from 31.

1161
01:03:23,367 --> 01:03:24,367
Correct. Yeah. Okay.

1162
01:03:24,367 --> 01:03:28,800
And then on the transportation side we have section 22

1163
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,300
L funding, which is for general ed student transportation.

1164
01:03:32,300 --> 01:03:36,233
Historically about four years ago, this started to provide

1165
01:03:36,233 --> 01:03:39,233
money with the districts for general and transportation.

1166
01:03:39,233 --> 01:03:42,233
We only would get special education prior to that.

1167
01:03:42,300 --> 01:03:43,166
That was like a four year

1168
01:03:43,166 --> 01:03:47,367
pot of money that this upcoming year was the last year of that pot of money.

1169
01:03:47,467 --> 01:03:48,934
So if the state chooses

1170
01:03:48,934 --> 01:03:52,800
not to renew any of those funds for us, that's about 700 grand a year.

1171
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:55,600
That's been getting as an offset.

1172
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,166
So just other things we're keeping tabs on

1173
01:03:58,166 --> 01:04:01,533
because there's a lot of games involved, some of these categorical.

1174
01:04:01,533 --> 01:04:04,667
So but that's our job to track okay.

1175
01:04:09,300 --> 01:04:12,300
Any other questions on the budget.

1176
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,934
Nope I think there more to come.

1177
01:04:15,934 --> 01:04:19,233
I might take away please. Yes.

1178
01:04:19,233 --> 01:04:22,934
For for the community would be please pay attention to the information

1179
01:04:22,934 --> 01:04:26,233
that has been provided by the district

1180
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,800
around the ballot initiative on August 4th.

1181
01:04:30,367 --> 01:04:31,667
Pay close attention to it

1182
01:04:31,667 --> 01:04:35,467
because it will have significant impact on not just the district,

1183
01:04:35,467 --> 01:04:38,467
but all the districts across Oakland County moving forward.

1184
01:04:38,467 --> 01:04:43,100
Because we're not we're not the only district in this in this position.

1185
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,867
Every every one of my colleagues is sitting at this at a table like this

1186
01:04:47,867 --> 01:04:51,800
right about now, having some real challenging conversations around

1187
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,934
what they're privatizing for the coming school year and the school year after.

1188
01:04:55,934 --> 01:04:59,033
And also, I think really important to note is that these are

1189
01:04:59,100 --> 01:05:00,867
these are difficult decisions to make.

1190
01:05:00,867 --> 01:05:04,433
And it's it's not about it's not a

1191
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,734
we're not placing a value on any and any one over another.

1192
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,934
It's it's just in an effort to do the work that we need to do.

1193
01:05:12,934 --> 01:05:16,934
There are some areas that need to be prioritized and others

1194
01:05:16,934 --> 01:05:22,166
that that will will be looked at for reductions as we move forward.

1195
01:05:22,533 --> 01:05:24,600
Yeah, the hard decisions to make.

1196
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:29,300
Just a comment that I wanted to make,

1197
01:05:29,533 --> 01:05:33,300
just kind of reading through different concerns

1198
01:05:33,300 --> 01:05:36,300
on social media.

1199
01:05:36,734 --> 01:05:38,734
One of the comments was,

1200
01:05:38,734 --> 01:05:43,600
you know, that money coming back and supporting teacher staff and students,

1201
01:05:43,667 --> 01:05:47,600
you know, obviously if we have more, more money coming in

1202
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,734
for pupil, we can look at some of these

1203
01:05:51,166 --> 01:05:55,166
proposed reductions and make some decisions around that.

1204
01:05:55,166 --> 01:05:58,166
But I think people aren't aware also that are

1205
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:05,600
are three contracts with the t test and also include clauses.

1206
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,600
That would be the bus

1207
01:06:09,934 --> 01:06:11,166
there's there.

1208
01:06:11,166 --> 01:06:12,467
Okay.

1209
01:06:12,467 --> 01:06:16,467
So that is a solid in contract commitment

1210
01:06:16,467 --> 01:06:20,300
that those monies that they would see a benefit from that.

1211
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:23,467
So I wanted to just bring that up because there was a concern that

1212
01:06:24,166 --> 01:06:27,467
that our staff would not receive a benefit from, from that.

1213
01:06:27,467 --> 01:06:30,867
And, and, and those, those projected increases,

1214
01:06:30,867 --> 01:06:34,300
if it passes, are baked into the model that you saw.

1215
01:06:36,367 --> 01:06:38,300
Okay.

1216
01:06:38,300 --> 01:06:40,166
Thank you for saying that.

1217
01:06:40,166 --> 01:06:43,166
Thank you.

1218
01:06:46,467 --> 01:06:49,166
Are they.

1219
01:06:49,166 --> 01:06:52,600
Because I see the expenditure remain the same between

1220
01:06:53,300 --> 01:06:56,300
enhancement passing or not.

1221
01:07:00,433 --> 01:07:01,734
So each year

1222
01:07:01,734 --> 01:07:04,800
when we look at so the expenditure line item

1223
01:07:05,300 --> 01:07:08,300
goes it's going down because of reductions.

1224
01:07:08,667 --> 01:07:12,367
There's a lot at play with like monies okay.

1225
01:07:12,367 --> 01:07:15,367
You know that it's pretty heavily each year.

1226
01:07:15,533 --> 01:07:19,600
But when we look at the actual increases to expenditures each year,

1227
01:07:20,033 --> 01:07:23,467
we've factored in the percentages for the contracts that were approved.

1228
01:07:23,533 --> 01:07:24,467
Okay.

1229
01:07:24,467 --> 01:07:27,934
This table, maybe they're behind it.

1230
01:07:27,934 --> 01:07:28,667
Yeah.

1231
01:07:28,667 --> 01:07:31,667
There may be other details, but okay.

1232
01:07:32,166 --> 01:07:34,367
Thank you.

1233
01:07:34,367 --> 01:07:35,367
All right.

1234
01:07:35,367 --> 01:07:38,367
Any other questions or comments

1235
01:07:38,467 --> 01:07:41,800
that pretty much finishes our business items.

1236
01:07:42,166 --> 01:07:46,800
We do have a public communication in a non agenda item.

1237
01:07:47,433 --> 01:07:51,000
So we have Mr.

1238
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,300
Jeffrey Sweetland.

1239
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
You want me to send you.

1240
01:07:59,033 --> 01:08:02,467
Okay so I got the three minute time limit I'll try to go fast this time.

1241
01:08:02,667 --> 01:08:05,667
This is the second time I've come before you guys.

1242
01:08:06,934 --> 01:08:08,600
Same same topic I remember

1243
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,934
remember last time I said I wouldn't bring it back up, and I'm not.

1244
01:08:10,934 --> 01:08:14,000
I do want to make one small comment, though, which is that

1245
01:08:14,934 --> 01:08:18,100
I took the money that I had to charge and I bought.

1246
01:08:18,166 --> 01:08:19,934
I invested it into the class

1247
01:08:19,934 --> 01:08:23,734
to give away as freebies, and it really made the class a lot better.

1248
01:08:23,734 --> 01:08:25,934
And so with all these young people in the room,

1249
01:08:25,934 --> 01:08:29,033
I wanted to share with them that even when you don't get your way

1250
01:08:29,033 --> 01:08:31,934
and you think you've lost, if you keep an open mind

1251
01:08:31,934 --> 01:08:34,367
and a positive attitude, you can turn it into a win,

1252
01:08:34,367 --> 01:08:37,367
because that's kind of how it happened with that situation.

1253
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,467
When I speak before the board, I do want to be clear, though.

1254
01:08:39,467 --> 01:08:40,600
I'm speaking as a parent.

1255
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,667
Vendor is very much a small side thing for me.

1256
01:08:42,667 --> 01:08:44,600
I think of it as being a coach.

1257
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,300
I'm not making any money on my class, and I don't plan on doing it after my son

1258
01:08:48,300 --> 01:08:49,600
moves on to middle school.

1259
01:08:53,300 --> 01:08:56,467
If you guys have ever been in a situation where you feel like

1260
01:08:56,467 --> 01:08:59,867
somebody is telling you that they don't want you to do something, and

1261
01:09:01,100 --> 01:09:04,867
you keep hearing a lot of nose, and you keep getting your T's

1262
01:09:04,867 --> 01:09:07,600
and crossing your eyes and thoroughly reading through the policies.

1263
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,600
But the vibe that you keep getting is go away.

1264
01:09:10,867 --> 01:09:15,667
That is, to an extent, how I've sort of feel about our enrichment program.

1265
01:09:16,867 --> 01:09:20,934
In June, an email was sent out to all the vendors, about 90 in total,

1266
01:09:20,934 --> 01:09:24,033
informing them in bold red at the top that

1267
01:09:24,033 --> 01:09:27,033
the policies were going to change.

1268
01:09:27,166 --> 01:09:29,734
The policy review was conducted closed door.

1269
01:09:29,734 --> 01:09:35,166
I don't I can't quite understand why that decision was made.

1270
01:09:35,166 --> 01:09:36,734
I've spoken to Matt Jensen about it.

1271
01:09:36,734 --> 01:09:39,600
I find him to be a person of integrity and honesty,

1272
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,433
but I just don't

1273
01:09:42,433 --> 01:09:45,433
quite agree with that decision to conduct the policy.

1274
01:09:45,467 --> 01:09:47,166
The policy review closed doors.

1275
01:09:47,166 --> 01:09:49,467
It affects 90 vendors and lots and lots of students.

1276
01:09:49,467 --> 01:09:53,166
So I thought that parents and vendors should have an input into what

1277
01:09:53,467 --> 01:09:56,467
those policies would be.

1278
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,367
I submitted my class stuff in late July.

1279
01:09:59,367 --> 01:10:03,166
I received an email back saying that the days that I want to enroll and

1280
01:10:03,367 --> 01:10:05,300
and to hold my class are not available.

1281
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:07,600
They're doing it on a first come, first serve basis.

1282
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,233
That's a fair policy.

1283
01:10:09,233 --> 01:10:12,033
It's unfair is that policy was not documented.

1284
01:10:12,033 --> 01:10:14,166
It was not shared with anybody in the original email.

1285
01:10:14,166 --> 01:10:17,166
I couldn't find it anywhere.

1286
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,300
I wrote some things down.

1287
01:10:23,300 --> 01:10:26,467
When my class first started, there was a enrichment

1288
01:10:26,467 --> 01:10:30,166
flier sent out to all Hamilton families listing off all the classes.

1289
01:10:30,233 --> 01:10:33,467
Mine wasn't included, just got missed.

1290
01:10:34,166 --> 01:10:36,166
I want to believe that that was an honest mistake.

1291
01:10:36,166 --> 01:10:38,533
And I try really hard to believe that's an honest mistake.

1292
01:10:40,367 --> 01:10:42,800
My current situation is this I.

1293
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,800
You know, I gladly readjusted my classes to

1294
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,667
pick for certain dates for dates in November and said, okay,

1295
01:10:49,667 --> 01:10:51,467
I'll do those dates and I'll adjust.

1296
01:10:51,467 --> 01:10:54,367
That seems like a fair policy I can adjust.

1297
01:10:54,367 --> 01:10:58,300
I am currently being told that I cannot use those four dates

1298
01:10:58,300 --> 01:11:02,867
unless I rearrange my class or offer it at 6 p.m.,

1299
01:11:02,867 --> 01:11:05,934
and I cannot figure out the rationale for that.

1300
01:11:05,934 --> 01:11:09,166
I've been going over it in my head for 3 or 4 straight days.

1301
01:11:09,233 --> 01:11:13,233
Doctor did offer a meeting for me and I appreciate you for that,

1302
01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:15,600
and I'll be meeting with him tomorrow. Discuss it further.

1303
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,867
But if I've got those days, they say you've got 4 p.m.

1304
01:11:18,934 --> 01:11:21,934
Hamilton every Monday in November,

1305
01:11:22,033 --> 01:11:25,233
but you can't teach it as a one day class.

1306
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:31,000
You have to restructure your class or to be 16 students four days.

1307
01:11:31,233 --> 01:11:35,667
You can't do 16 students total of 64 students on four separate dates,

1308
01:11:36,300 --> 01:11:39,300
unless you switch your class to 6 p.m.

1309
01:11:39,367 --> 01:11:40,467
three minutes is up.

1310
01:11:40,467 --> 01:11:42,934
But if we can talk outside.

1311
01:11:42,934 --> 01:11:44,433
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

1312
01:11:44,433 --> 01:11:45,734
I look forward to talking to you tomorrow.

1313
01:11:45,734 --> 01:11:46,934
Mr. speaker, thank you.

1314
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:51,233
Thank you.

1315
01:11:51,233 --> 01:11:51,800
All right.

1316
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:55,667
That concludes the public communications section of our agenda.

1317
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,166
Brings us to other, other items.

1318
01:11:59,233 --> 01:12:02,233
We can go around the table as parts.

1319
01:12:03,433 --> 01:12:05,667
Nope.

1320
01:12:05,667 --> 01:12:08,800
Oh, I did want to ask Mr.

1321
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,734
Steve, just to give a brief update where we are

1322
01:12:10,734 --> 01:12:13,734
with bond projects, specifically Smith.

1323
01:12:16,300 --> 01:12:18,367
Is typical of the finish.

1324
01:12:18,367 --> 01:12:22,166
So I have some great updates for you.

1325
01:12:22,300 --> 01:12:24,533
I think it's important and I'll frame it a little bit with

1326
01:12:24,533 --> 01:12:26,367
there's more than just Smith going on in our bus.

1327
01:12:26,367 --> 01:12:30,934
So our community, you know, invest made it quite a significant investment

1328
01:12:30,934 --> 01:12:36,166
and been working very hard to, to fulfill the commitments that have been made.

1329
01:12:36,166 --> 01:12:39,166
So I will share just briefly some of the other things that are going on

1330
01:12:39,166 --> 01:12:40,467
and then dive a little bit into Smith.

1331
01:12:40,467 --> 01:12:45,300
So we are underway with looking at some window replacement across the district.

1332
01:12:45,367 --> 01:12:48,367
I think that's an important piece because our facilities review Committee,

1333
01:12:48,367 --> 01:12:50,033
which did go into all of our schools,

1334
01:12:50,033 --> 01:12:54,033
talked about ensuring that we have safe infrastructures for our students.

1335
01:12:54,033 --> 01:12:56,734
So specifically, right now we're looking at Troy High School,

1336
01:12:56,734 --> 01:13:00,367
which we all know is quite, a quite a bit of square footage to look at.

1337
01:13:00,367 --> 01:13:03,033
So Troy High School and the inventory of needs

1338
01:13:03,033 --> 01:13:07,166
that are going on there, as well as Troy Union and waddles in specific spaces.

1339
01:13:07,166 --> 01:13:10,166
So for window replacements that are coming up.

1340
01:13:10,166 --> 01:13:14,000
We've completed soffit work at four of our elementary schools.

1341
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,800
So Wasp, Venus, Hamilton and Barnard.

1342
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,300
So Bemis is finishing touches are coming on this week.

1343
01:13:19,300 --> 01:13:23,300
So that's really brightened the entrance for all of those elementary schools.

1344
01:13:23,867 --> 01:13:26,467
Baker secure entrance is that work is underway

1345
01:13:26,467 --> 01:13:29,533
and will be complete and functional by August 10th.

1346
01:13:29,533 --> 01:13:33,300
So that does secure the right side of the entrance when you walk into Baker

1347
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:33,734
Middle School.

1348
01:13:33,734 --> 01:13:37,600
So there's a nice secure vestibule for our families as they come into Baker

1349
01:13:38,233 --> 01:13:39,433
at Troy High School.

1350
01:13:39,433 --> 01:13:43,934
And Barnard and Bemis were installing operable walls in between some spaces,

1351
01:13:43,934 --> 01:13:47,934
so that work is underway at four of our elementary schools.

1352
01:13:47,934 --> 01:13:50,667
We've had toilet rooms being updated.

1353
01:13:50,667 --> 01:13:55,600
So very exciting work that's at Martell, Costello, Schroeder and Troy Union.

1354
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,100
We are learning quite a bit during that process as we track for phase two.

1355
01:14:00,100 --> 01:14:03,934
So phase two is in the summer of 27, so this is summer work that will be going on

1356
01:14:03,934 --> 01:14:07,800
across our elementary schools at Troy High School this summer.

1357
01:14:07,934 --> 01:14:10,734
We stripped and updated the auxiliary gym floor.

1358
01:14:10,734 --> 01:14:12,367
And so that is fully functional.

1359
01:14:12,367 --> 01:14:14,166
That was happened at the beginning of the summer,

1360
01:14:14,166 --> 01:14:18,233
so we're really happy to have that space for our students when they come back.

1361
01:14:18,300 --> 01:14:23,734
We've put in place a system at high with some new badges

1362
01:14:23,734 --> 01:14:26,734
that will be used by our teachers to be able to access that building.

1363
01:14:26,734 --> 01:14:29,934
So Troy High was one of our only buildings that didn't have access.

1364
01:14:30,367 --> 01:14:33,467
And so that will be very helpful as we think about safety and security

1365
01:14:33,467 --> 01:14:34,600
across the district.

1366
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,867
Those badges are also badges that we're using here at Central Office.

1367
01:14:38,867 --> 01:14:42,600
We'll be using at services, and we will be rolling out across the district.

1368
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:43,734
So that links really to

1369
01:14:43,734 --> 01:14:47,033
a lot of our safety and security work that we've been taking on this summer.

1370
01:14:47,734 --> 01:14:50,533
Also at Troy High, the Troy High track is underway.

1371
01:14:50,533 --> 01:14:54,033
So that began even before the end of the school year

1372
01:14:54,033 --> 01:14:58,000
and will continue all the way through and probably past tryouts.

1373
01:14:58,233 --> 01:15:01,367
So as we hit mid mid-August.

1374
01:15:01,367 --> 01:15:02,367
So we do

1375
01:15:02,367 --> 01:15:05,867
anticipate a little bit of a disruption as we hit the beginning of tryouts.

1376
01:15:05,867 --> 01:15:09,934
But we do know that by the week of August 24th,

1377
01:15:09,934 --> 01:15:11,600
we'll be ready to go with the Troy track.

1378
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,667
So before we start with all season,

1379
01:15:13,667 --> 01:15:15,734
that's the track around the football field, correct?

1380
01:15:15,734 --> 01:15:16,667
Okay, sure.

1381
01:15:16,667 --> 01:15:18,734
We didn't replace that when we did the football.

1382
01:15:18,734 --> 01:15:20,934
No, we did Athens a couple of years ago.

1383
01:15:20,934 --> 01:15:23,934
So try was up last year, maybe two years ago

1384
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,233
at Athens this summer we have taken on the Athens gym.

1385
01:15:28,233 --> 01:15:31,467
So I do believe that our students and community will be

1386
01:15:31,467 --> 01:15:34,467
pleasantly surprised when they are welcomed back into Athens.

1387
01:15:34,734 --> 01:15:39,934
It's been updated and paint moving to new shades of red and gold and gray.

1388
01:15:40,433 --> 01:15:42,367
We've also replaced the railing.

1389
01:15:42,367 --> 01:15:43,800
The gym floor has been stripped

1390
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,367
and they're working through that process of painting the gym floor.

1391
01:15:46,367 --> 01:15:48,600
There are new bleachers in that space as well.

1392
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,734
It'll be ready for the start of school, so we're very excited about that.

1393
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,000
There'll be some dugout work underway at baseball.

1394
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,734
We have to replace some dugout issues, so we'll see some construction continuing

1395
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,934
outside of Athens over there, probably just

1396
01:16:00,934 --> 01:16:04,000
through the month of September into early October.

1397
01:16:04,233 --> 01:16:07,467
And then we have furniture being installed across the district.

1398
01:16:07,467 --> 01:16:09,467
So Smith Furniture is in progress.

1399
01:16:09,467 --> 01:16:11,033
Troy High has some new furniture.

1400
01:16:11,033 --> 01:16:15,367
And then the Troy Center for transition has new furniture games all this summer.

1401
01:16:15,367 --> 01:16:18,367
So we've taken on spaces that haven't yet been touched.

1402
01:16:18,867 --> 01:16:21,000
And then Smith, we arrive at Smith.

1403
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,934
So Smith construction is hot underway.

1404
01:16:23,934 --> 01:16:26,367
The building every day looks a little bit different.

1405
01:16:26,367 --> 01:16:29,800
We are fully on track to have students in that building

1406
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,800
so that we can begin the school year at Smith.

1407
01:16:32,934 --> 01:16:37,100
Our completion of that front entrance will likely be the week of August 17th.

1408
01:16:37,100 --> 01:16:39,734
So as we are thinking about how close are we coming?

1409
01:16:39,734 --> 01:16:41,233
We're coming close.

1410
01:16:41,233 --> 01:16:43,100
But they're they're working hard.

1411
01:16:43,100 --> 01:16:44,367
The other place where we're going to see

1412
01:16:44,367 --> 01:16:48,033
a lot of work over the next few weeks is the road coming in from Liberty.

1413
01:16:48,100 --> 01:16:51,166
So right now, as you drive by, you'll see that's not quite ready.

1414
01:16:51,467 --> 01:16:54,467
They're working very hard with the Road Commission and the city of Troy to be able

1415
01:16:54,467 --> 01:16:58,300
to ensure that that pathway is ready when we start school.

1416
01:16:58,667 --> 01:17:01,600
We do have a complete parking lot off the back of Smith.

1417
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:05,433
So off of Donaldson Road, that will eventually be our staff parking.

1418
01:17:05,433 --> 01:17:08,600
That will likely be where we're welcoming folks for the next few weeks.

1419
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,734
As people get into the building, that is a nice space for them to be.

1420
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:15,600
Well, we wait for the formalization of that drive, and the Jim Smith

1421
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,467
is one of the last spaces to be finished that is underway in a minute.

1422
01:17:18,467 --> 01:17:21,166
Here, I'm going to show you some pictures of where that is.

1423
01:17:21,166 --> 01:17:24,934
But we anticipate almost all of the significant

1424
01:17:24,934 --> 01:17:27,800
components of Smith being complete that week of August 17th.

1425
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,734
As we welcome students

1426
01:17:29,734 --> 01:17:33,734
right now, our learning communities, our classroom spaces are complete.

1427
01:17:33,734 --> 01:17:35,166
They're beautiful.

1428
01:17:35,166 --> 01:17:37,300
The the furniture is being delivered.

1429
01:17:37,300 --> 01:17:39,467
They're cleaning their way out of those spaces.

1430
01:17:39,467 --> 01:17:42,934
Our bathrooms are fully functional so we can host people over there.

1431
01:17:42,934 --> 01:17:45,433
We just don't have full occupancy of that building yet,

1432
01:17:45,433 --> 01:17:46,166
and we are trying to

1433
01:17:46,166 --> 01:17:48,166
stay out of everyone's way so that they can go

1434
01:17:48,166 --> 01:17:50,800
as fast as they can in order to get us right.

1435
01:17:51,867 --> 01:17:54,800
We're working through all the safety and security in that building as well,

1436
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:58,433
building out maps, working with lease department, making sure that the

1437
01:17:58,433 --> 01:18:03,166
partnerships with all of our different agencies are included as we get ready

1438
01:18:03,166 --> 01:18:07,166
to have students in that building and that we at Bolen.

1439
01:18:07,166 --> 01:18:09,467
Bolen Park Middle School is a shell of a building.

1440
01:18:09,467 --> 01:18:11,800
And I knew that in the kindness way possible

1441
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,467
for anyone who's been over there, you can see right through it.

1442
01:18:14,467 --> 01:18:18,467
We are very excited as they begin that work at Bolen over the next 14 months

1443
01:18:18,467 --> 01:18:21,734
to to build out a new school of learning communities

1444
01:18:21,734 --> 01:18:24,934
for our middle, for our middle students, for our middle school students.

1445
01:18:25,367 --> 01:18:28,367
Larson is in the finalization process.

1446
01:18:28,367 --> 01:18:30,100
Larson will be very similar to Bolen.

1447
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:32,000
There will be a few tweaks because we have a few

1448
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,166
programmatic differences between those two buildings,

1449
01:18:34,166 --> 01:18:37,667
specifically in our categorical programs and special education.

1450
01:18:37,934 --> 01:18:41,000
But we're also working on what might be enhancements on the outside

1451
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,300
and the outside spaces at Larson and at Bolen.

1452
01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:44,467
So those are underway.

1453
01:18:44,467 --> 01:18:45,467
And then finally,

1454
01:18:45,467 --> 01:18:49,600
our bid for Athens and the new Athens build will go out at the end of September.

1455
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,100
And that is for the three story

1456
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:55,100
academic addition that will be built in that lab on the map.

1457
01:18:55,166 --> 01:18:58,166
So lots of work going on with bond.

1458
01:18:58,166 --> 01:19:00,100
It's been a very successful summer.

1459
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:04,734
I will show you some images just because I think it's always fun to see.

1460
01:19:15,166 --> 01:19:18,166
7166.

1461
01:19:30,533 --> 01:19:32,934
So this is this morning.

1462
01:19:32,934 --> 01:19:34,300
This is Smith's new gym.

1463
01:19:34,300 --> 01:19:37,233
So it was just stained this morning.

1464
01:19:37,233 --> 01:19:38,467
None of the lining is on.

1465
01:19:38,467 --> 01:19:42,300
Only the shading that you can see for the the three point circle.

1466
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,600
But this is Smith's gym coming along.

1467
01:19:45,667 --> 01:19:47,800
These are images inside of Smith.

1468
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:52,734
So you can see how how far along we are in our learning community spaces.

1469
01:19:52,734 --> 01:19:55,166
So our classrooms are ready to go with furniture in them.

1470
01:19:55,166 --> 01:19:56,734
Carpet paint.

1471
01:19:56,734 --> 01:19:59,734
So we're in pretty good space as we move forward at Smith.

1472
01:20:00,033 --> 01:20:02,100
These are images of Boulogne Park.

1473
01:20:02,100 --> 01:20:04,867
We shared even a video of Boulogne Park that the demolition

1474
01:20:04,867 --> 01:20:06,467
just cleared that building right out.

1475
01:20:06,467 --> 01:20:10,934
So really moving along, these are our bathrooms

1476
01:20:10,934 --> 01:20:14,300
so we can see Martel Costello.

1477
01:20:14,300 --> 01:20:15,800
Schroeder is well underway.

1478
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,800
So great updates going on across the district in our elementary bathrooms.

1479
01:20:20,166 --> 01:20:21,233
And then this is Troy

1480
01:20:21,233 --> 01:20:23,734
High School and some of the new furniture that's living in Detroit High.

1481
01:20:23,734 --> 01:20:26,867
And you'll remember that we're taking on Troy High Wing by Wing.

1482
01:20:26,867 --> 01:20:29,467
So we're working through that building just kind of piece by piece.

1483
01:20:29,467 --> 01:20:32,800
So those are just some of our pictures that I thought

1484
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,800
would be helpful if you guys start to see the fastest.

1485
01:20:35,934 --> 01:20:37,600
So thank you.

1486
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:38,600
Thank you.

1487
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,367
Quick question about the elementary school

1488
01:20:42,533 --> 01:20:46,233
playgrounds, the additional equipment that we're going to go in.

1489
01:20:46,233 --> 01:20:47,467
And you update on that one.

1490
01:20:47,467 --> 01:20:48,367
Sure I can.

1491
01:20:48,367 --> 01:20:50,667
I'm going to look this way to my team okay.

1492
01:20:53,100 --> 01:20:56,000
I've been working together with Rob Carson.

1493
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:00,800
Kind of we talked to the board lessons about students and feedback,

1494
01:21:01,667 --> 01:21:04,800
as also worked out kind of a timeline

1495
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:08,100
and the case in which the project base

1496
01:21:08,166 --> 01:21:11,166
and it worked out to be about $15,000 per building.

1497
01:21:11,934 --> 01:21:15,166
And they're working with Dan to talk about

1498
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,600
when and put into the timeline.

1499
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:19,033
Oh, okay.

1500
01:21:19,033 --> 01:21:20,867
So we haven't started on them at all.

1501
01:21:20,867 --> 01:21:23,867
Just planning still.

1502
01:21:24,367 --> 01:21:27,367
So we'll have to catapult.

1503
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,433
Number one, we want our operations team was going to have a primarily

1504
01:21:30,433 --> 01:21:34,166
the install process to get Smith open okay.

1505
01:21:34,300 --> 01:21:36,000
So they were busy.

1506
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,000
So it's important.

1507
01:21:39,667 --> 01:21:40,600
In September

1508
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,033
as a team kind of finalizing a list of what we would like to add

1509
01:21:44,367 --> 01:21:47,166
at that point in a similar manner, like if it is equipment

1510
01:21:47,166 --> 01:21:48,934
like we ordered last night.

1511
01:21:48,934 --> 01:21:51,100
So the recommendation to the board for

1512
01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:54,734
we will order the equipment and then we install it in the spring.

1513
01:21:54,934 --> 01:21:58,533
So it won't it'll happen in spring of 2027.

1514
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,600
We've been related depending on if it's something

1515
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,233
where it's just loose equipment, like they want a little storage

1516
01:22:04,233 --> 01:22:07,467
shed that can hold some balls and jump ropes and whatever it might be.

1517
01:22:07,533 --> 01:22:10,000
We can do all of that now, so we'll work with the principals

1518
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,033
once they return in September on those pieces.

1519
01:22:13,033 --> 01:22:16,367
But anything larger scale, if it is like an actual equipment,

1520
01:22:16,367 --> 01:22:19,600
will likely involve, but it's ready to start.

1521
01:22:21,300 --> 01:22:22,166
Wonderful.

1522
01:22:22,166 --> 01:22:23,467
Thank you. Great.

1523
01:22:23,467 --> 01:22:24,800
Just two things to share.

1524
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,300
One, I think probably just to let the community no.

1525
01:22:28,467 --> 01:22:33,033
Smith will be open to students and for pictures and scheduling pickup.

1526
01:22:33,033 --> 01:22:34,800
And that is going to be on August 13th.

1527
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,734
And that is when all of our middle schools are going to be hosting students.

1528
01:22:37,734 --> 01:22:41,467
So we'll have an opportunity for students to be in the building at that time.

1529
01:22:41,467 --> 01:22:44,166
Throughout that week, we will have the following week,

1530
01:22:44,166 --> 01:22:45,600
we will have an open space

1531
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,667
at all of our mills for students to be able to walk the building.

1532
01:22:48,667 --> 01:22:50,934
So we know that Bowland Park will be in Old Smith,

1533
01:22:50,934 --> 01:22:53,367
so there will probably be some interest for some of our families

1534
01:22:53,367 --> 01:22:56,867
to spend a little time in that new space, as well as the new Smith being open.

1535
01:22:56,867 --> 01:23:00,800
But Larsen and Larsen and Baker follow that same process.

1536
01:23:01,367 --> 01:23:05,300
We are going to be inviting our board for a little bit of a sneak peek

1537
01:23:05,300 --> 01:23:08,467
into Smith on August 10th in the evening.

1538
01:23:08,467 --> 01:23:13,800
And then when we start school, we'll have our regularly scheduled

1539
01:23:13,934 --> 01:23:17,233
curriculum night for our students and our parents to be in that building.

1540
01:23:17,233 --> 01:23:21,600
And then once we've gotten the school year open and going, our plan is in October

1541
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:26,000
to have a full community ribbon cutting and invite everyone into that grand

1542
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,867
opening of Smith Middle School to be able to see it.

1543
01:23:27,867 --> 01:23:30,367
So that's our pace to be able to have everyone.

1544
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,367
Wonderful.

1545
01:23:34,367 --> 01:23:37,300
Thank you.

1546
01:23:37,300 --> 01:23:38,734
My only other other

1547
01:23:38,734 --> 01:23:42,600
is this book that you guys all got today.

1548
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:47,166
We were going to give you some time to read, whether you have time

1549
01:23:47,166 --> 01:23:51,867
to review it next month as part of our read or the month after.

1550
01:23:51,867 --> 01:23:53,934
It's up to us, we can decide.

1551
01:23:53,934 --> 01:23:58,734
There's no seeing that, so we can either do it in August or September.

1552
01:23:59,233 --> 01:24:02,233
Workshop.

1553
01:24:02,233 --> 01:24:03,934
And that's something we need to look at

1554
01:24:03,934 --> 01:24:06,934
when these are our next week.

1555
01:24:07,467 --> 01:24:10,467
I guess it's

1556
01:24:10,467 --> 01:24:12,600
it is a workshop by

1557
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,033
we do not have workshop.

1558
01:24:14,033 --> 01:24:17,000
Oh, it's just a meeting. Okay.

1559
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:21,367
So the six of 18 two day 6 p.m.

1560
01:24:21,367 --> 01:24:24,367
is our next meeting. Okay.

1561
01:24:24,467 --> 01:24:27,734
Yeah, we'll probably do it in September then, because it's just one meeting.

1562
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,233
Okay. All right.

1563
01:24:30,233 --> 01:24:31,667
The next meeting, it's the same data.

1564
01:24:31,667 --> 01:24:32,934
So welcome back. Oh.

1565
01:24:33,934 --> 01:24:36,000
So if you're

1566
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,934
able I'm going to be at to welcome back.

1567
01:24:38,934 --> 01:24:40,467
We think you're more involved.

1568
01:24:40,467 --> 01:24:44,367
The teacher orientation new teacher orientation

1569
01:24:44,367 --> 01:24:47,600
with the weekly starts the 10th 10th.

1570
01:24:48,033 --> 01:24:50,667
Yeah.

1571
01:24:50,667 --> 01:24:51,867
All right.

1572
01:24:51,867 --> 01:24:54,734
There is nothing else we can join the meeting.

1573
01:24:54,734 --> 01:24:58,000
Meeting at June and I don't have a clock. Two

1574
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,100
2226. Thank.
