Um, and if you'll 627 00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:14,880 notice the very edges of the stage were 628 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,400 not done, but that is the real flooring, 629 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,039 the real paint, lighting. Um, and then 630 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:21,120 after the 13th, I'm going to go back one 631 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,520 on that. We added the the perimeter to 632 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,960 that front stage. So, we did try to 633 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,799 truly make this drama room like an 634 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:28,880 auditorium. So, dark stage, the back 635 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,400 hallway behind it is dark as well. So, 636 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,600 that if they black it out and turn on 637 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,120 the spotlights, you are getting 638 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,240 theatrical performances in this room. 639 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,720 Uh we also did move the visitors 640 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,159 entrance along with the security 641 00:26:40,159 --> 00:26:42,159 vestibule to another door on the front 642 00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:44,799 of the building. That is anticipation of 643 00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:46,960 us starting this year. To move that 644 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,159 during the middle of the school year 645 00:26:48,159 --> 00:26:50,159 would cause great disruption to just the 646 00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:51,600 flow of the school and as well as 647 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,960 bringing those contractors in to 648 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,720 complete that work wouldn't have been 649 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,240 feasible as well. So we have moved that 650 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,559 now in anticipation of going out to bid, 651 00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:00,320 awarding the contract and starting work 652 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,159 on the front of the school. I'll remind 653 00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:04,080 you that where the the main addition on 654 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,919 the front is going to fill in that big 655 00:27:05,919 --> 00:27:07,919 sidewalk. So, we had to shift it to 656 00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:09,440 another door because we won't be able to 657 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,120 use those doors when we start building. 658 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:14,880 Um the some of the things I wrote down 659 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,320 that were under review by the county had 660 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,760 to do with storm water BMP 661 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840 modifications. Um some parking 662 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,480 modifications. Uh again, nothing that 663 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,679 was glaringly bad for us. 664 00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:28,159 So, then I will jump into Dair 665 00:27:28,159 --> 00:27:29,520 Elementary School. The parking lot and 666 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,360 bus loop expansion is actually in its 667 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,760 third round of review at the county. 668 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,720 Also, not a lot of major issues here, 669 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,159 but it's, you know, dotting the eyes, 670 00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:39,520 crossing the tees, making sure that 671 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,360 everything's out there. We are expecting 672 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,760 that review to be uh back to us either 673 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,919 late this week or by September 2nd is 674 00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:47,120 when they actually have to have it back 675 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,120 to us. And then again, we will go to the 676 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,360 county and go out for bid on this. Um, 677 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,760 we are entertaining progress during the 678 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,200 school year. We do think that there will 679 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,600 be a possibility of going after the end 680 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,279 that's towards the baseball field, 681 00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:01,120 towards the soccer field without 682 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:02,960 interrupting the functionality of the 683 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,880 current parking lot, but we can't really 684 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,399 get into that until we've gone out to 685 00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:08,480 bid and awarded to a contractor to work 686 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,159 through those those details. 687 00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:14,080 Uh during the summer though, we did go 688 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,399 after the HVAC and building automation 689 00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:18,799 with a focus on the building automation 690 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:20,960 for this summer. Uh, I'll remind you 691 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,480 that the building automation system is 692 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,320 what tells it to turn on, turn off, what 693 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,600 set points. It's monitoring CO2 694 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000 and the system that was in there was end 695 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,320 of life. We could not get parts for it. 696 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,559 So, when a classroom unit would go down, 697 00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:36,320 we would spend a day, possibly two, 698 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,320 chasing down the problem. And even then, 699 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,600 we couldn't get parts for it. So, we 700 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,520 were having to go purchase what we put 701 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,200 in place this summer, but doing it peace 702 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,360 meal. By doing it all this summer, that 703 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,360 entire building has been upgraded. The 704 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,440 only things that are not at 100% is the 705 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,600 heaters that are in the hallways, which 706 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,679 as of today we don't need yet, but we 707 00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:55,039 will be done with those in the next week 708 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,640 or two. And then that part of the 709 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,960 project will be complete. And then for 710 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,559 next summer, we're going to focus on 711 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:02,480 replacing all of the actual the heat 712 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,080 pumps, the mechanical equipment for the 713 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,830 gym itself. 714 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,600 Seafford Elementary School, I am happy 715 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,840 to tell you that the sewer line is 100% 716 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,960 complete. Uh passed all inspections. The 717 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,640 bus loop was returned to the school 718 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,279 about a week before uh teachers came 719 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:20,960 back. Uh there was a little overlap with 720 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,880 our cleanup. The storm water is 721 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,960 complete. It is installed. Um there's 722 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,960 just a simple camera inspection that has 723 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,399 to be done on that and that will be done 724 00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:32,399 as well. So then there will be one very small thing left to do which is to 725 00:29:32,399 --> 00:29:34,799 move the school zone sign. Um and that's 726 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:36,000 really just a matter that we're waiting 727 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,320 on VOTE to coordinate. It got a little 728 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,760 bit more complicated because it's not 729 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,440 just about where it is right now. Now it 730 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,039 correlates to the the speed zone 731 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:44,480 cameras. So, we have a little 732 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,080 triangulation thing. The V dot has to 733 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,600 tell us, you know, X marks the spot. 734 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,039 This is where you put the concrete. 735 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:52,799 The divisionwide facility study, I don't 736 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:54,320 have any major updates on that other 737 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,080 than we will be meeting on September 738 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,640 1st, joint board meeting, and we'll 739 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,159 receive that final report from them. 740 00:30:00,159 --> 00:30:01,600 They'll give us some recommendations. 741 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,559 So, I'm greatly looking forward to that. 742 00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:06,880 Burton High School HVAC replacement. Uh, 743 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,720 so if you'll remember, we started this 744 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,360 one a little bit early. Um, we were able 745 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,120 to put funding towards the design of it 746 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,799 prior to July 1st. It wasn't supposed to 747 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:16,799 start until July 1st. So, we're actually 748 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:20,159 sitting at about 70 75% complete on that 749 00:30:20,159 --> 00:30:23,679 design. Um, when we got that that uh 750 00:30:23,679 --> 00:30:25,200 design back, it came with the cost 751 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,120 estimate and currently we are thinking 752 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080 that that estimate is high. Um, so we've 753 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,480 talked with the the engineers. They're 754 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640 acknowledging some some room for uh 755 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,559 optimizations. We're acknowledging some 756 00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:38,080 room for optimizations as well as 757 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,440 fine-tuning those numbers. If you 758 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,360 remember on tab high, we came down a 759 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,440 significant amount when we went from 66 760 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,880 to 95% in those cost estimates. Um, so 761 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,559 we're we're still continuing with the 762 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:50,640 way that we designed it. Um, and I'll 763 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,000 give you an update the next time we we 764 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,279 get into the 95 numbers. 765 00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:56,880 Burnt High locker rooms. Like I said, 766 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,240 I'm going to flow through these and Mr. 767 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,720 Schaefer, I heard that you snuck in 768 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,760 without me. [laughter] 769 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,080 Um, so work is in progress and if Mr. 770 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,600 Weaver was still here, I would tell you 771 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,200 that the team at Brutin High has been 772 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,279 extremely accommodating. We all knew 773 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:12,799 that this project would not be done for 774 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:14,960 the first day of school, but they are 775 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,760 moving extremely fast. Um, in fact, I I 776 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,840 would not upload my presentation until 777 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,760 yesterday because things are not 778 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,120 changing by the day, they're changing by 779 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,039 the hour. Um, so this is an example of 780 00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:29,440 we took out what I would call a flimsy 781 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,760 wall. was wood and glass, but this also 782 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,960 happened to be the room that the kids 783 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,480 were supposed to lock down in if they 784 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,679 happened to be in the lock lock locker 785 00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:37,200 room during a lockdown. So, we took out 786 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,120 that flimsy wall where we're putting 787 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,519 brick and mortar back. Um, this is a 788 00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:44,880 24-hour difference. I left at maybe 3:00 789 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,640 on Friday, and when I came back at 2 790 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,720 o'clock on Saturday, it was up, it was 791 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,120 painted, it was done. 792 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,000 Um, this is a before picture of the team 793 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,679 room side of the boys locker rooms. 794 00:31:55,679 --> 00:31:57,360 You'll see, you know, we have damaged 795 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,960 lockers in there. there's old wooden 796 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,679 benches. Um, it's not great for for 797 00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:03,440 walking and definitely not for ADA 798 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,760 access. And so this is what we're going 799 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,159 back with. Um, and this is a model that 800 00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,080 my predecessor implemented before me. So 801 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,279 you have the the concrete uh blick bra 802 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,720 brick um benches and it widens up the 803 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,720 walkway so we don't have the wooden ones 804 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,039 down the middle. Um, and what you aren't 805 00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:22,720 seeing is what we're really waiting on 806 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,399 is the lockers. Um, and that's one thing 807 00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:25,600 that we've been clear with the school 808 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,679 from the get-go. September 16th is that 809 00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:30,240 expected delivery date. But again, 810 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,200 progress picture. This was again Friday 811 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,640 afternoon and this was Sunday. So the 812 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960 epoxy flooring is in, the extra paint is 813 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,880 in. Really, this room is just waiting on 814 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,720 cleanup and lockers. Um, if it's 815 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,240 somewhat hard to notice, but also the 816 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,760 LED lighting is installed in all of 817 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,840 these rooms. 818 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,000 Um, this is the PE side of the boys 819 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,519 locker room. They were prepping the girl 820 00:32:51,519 --> 00:32:53,279 side of the locker rooms to receive this 821 00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:55,679 flooring today. So, in the next 48 822 00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:56,960 hours, I would expect to have the same 823 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,960 pictures of the girl side just like 824 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,440 this. 825 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200 The Queens Lake roof replacement, we 826 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,960 have received the preliminary design 827 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,880 from the contractor, from the engineer, 828 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,399 and so we'll be sitting down as a group 829 00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:11,360 within YCSD to re to review that design. 830 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,880 Uh, and then we'll give them feedback 831 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,720 and then hopefully again go out to bid 832 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,080 for that to get some some cost 833 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,799 estimates. 834 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:21,360 Bethl Manor Editions. Uh, like I said, I 835 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,679 need to find Dr. Stevenson um because 836 00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:25,600 she is doing a fantastic job her and her 837 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,279 team of setting us up for success on 838 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:29,519 both Bethl Manor and Tab High School. Uh 839 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:32,159 but I do have to you know say with 840 00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:34,399 caution we don't have all the guidelines 841 00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:37,200 for that money yet. So we have the 842 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,919 original grant we got under Whitman. Now 843 00:33:39,919 --> 00:33:41,919 we have this one and then there was the 844 00:33:41,919 --> 00:33:45,120 PSMI the the military schools on or 845 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,240 public schools on a military 846 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,640 installation. Um we did receive that 847 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,360 final report back. They rank schools 848 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,240 from a Q1 down to a Q4. Q4 being the 849 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,360 lowest. Bethl Manor did score as a Q4. 850 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,679 What I'd like to remind you is that's 851 00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:02,399 not a reflection on the school, the 852 00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:04,240 instruction. They're still doing a 853 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,559 fantastic job and we've been doing a 854 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:08,399 fantastic job prolonging the life of 855 00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:10,480 that building. But when we go back and 856 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,919 we talk about the division facility 857 00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:15,119 studies, it was built in the 60s. It 858 00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:17,119 doesn't meet today's standards and 859 00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:19,520 that's what they grade the school on. 860 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,399 So, uh, we won't get more conversation 861 00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:24,639 on that until January time frame is when 862 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,280 they fi, so Septemberish they finish 863 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,639 assessing all the other schools 864 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:30,639 throughout the nation and then January 865 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:31,919 is when they come back to us and 866 00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:33,119 actually sit down with us and start 867 00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:34,720 talking about what they're prepared to 868 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:39,119 offer. So it it's a slow roll where we 869 00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:40,639 get these grants and then we're going to 870 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:42,720 get this PSMI and they're all sort of 871 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,480 going to come to fruition January 872 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,839 February time frame when we're going to 873 00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:49,990 start having some serious conversations. 874 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,520 And then the last one is Brutin High 875 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,079 School erosion. That project is complete 876 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,839 started and finished during the summer. 877 00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:59,280 The contractor did a fantastic job. 878 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,640 And that is the report I have for you 879 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,760 tonight, but I'm happy to take any 880 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,190 questions. 881 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,400 » Thank you so much for the detailed 882 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,760 report. Anybody has any questions? 883 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,480 >> I guess the only question that I have uh 884 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,320 on waiting for the funding for Bethl 885 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Manor, is there any way knowing that we 886 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,200 already have twothirds of what we're 887 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,680 looking at? Can we start putting things 888 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,760 together and have an idea knowing that 889 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680 we may or may not 890 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,640 >> get the third? 891 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,200 >> So, the fear is we don't know what the 892 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,960 Department of Defense will recommend. 893 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:33,200 >> Okay. 894 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,119 >> Um we've we've heavily looked into this 895 00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,880 PSMI uh program. It can range anywhere 896 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,800 from where they say we need to build a 897 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,359 couple classrooms to expand. We need to 898 00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:45,440 paint lights, update the mechanical 899 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,839 features, all the way to we need to 900 00:35:47,839 --> 00:35:50,800 build a whole new school. So, I don't 901 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,240 want to tell you what they're going to 902 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,640 say because I don't know. But for us to 903 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,720 go forward and pay, let's say, a million 904 00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:00,160 dollars to have an architect design an 905 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,920 expansion and then have this program 906 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,359 come in and say, "No, we want to do 907 00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:05,760 this. We just don't want to go and 908 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,359 expend that amount of money on a design 909 00:36:07,359 --> 00:36:08,560 when we don't know what they're going to 910 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,680 come back to us with." 911 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,240 >> Okay, I understand. Thank you. 912 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,280 >> And and you're right. I I went to Brutin 913 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,240 [laughter] 914 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,200 but uh and I I wasn't expecting it to be 915 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,000 done by the start of school. What I was 916 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,480 looking for was for the 50th anniversary 917 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,599 on October 2nd and I think that we are 918 00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:28,480 going to hit that. 919 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,200 >> That that is the goal. Um I will say I'm very pleased with my team. Um it's 920 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,359 been nice to distribute the workload and 921 00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:37,280 that's how we've been able to uh 922 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,720 accomplish so much. We've had a team at 923 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,400 DAR, we've had a team at Brutin carrying 924 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,960 off both projects there. Um whereas I've 925 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,200 been handling like focusing on Seafood. 926 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,960 So um we know that October 2nd date and 927 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,640 we will be there. Um like I said, we're showing up to anything the 928 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,480 contractor needs, we will be there. 929 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,240 >> I got one question, a couple comments 930 00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,400 actually. Uh on Tap High School, you 931 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,240 said we finished the second review and 932 00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:04,000 we sent him back plans to the county for 933 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,720 the third. 934 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,800 >> That one's in in second right now. 935 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,240 >> In second, right? Do you think 936 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,560 >> Dar went back for the third? What are 937 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,640 chance to be the last review before the 938 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:13,119 approval? 939 00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:14,960 >> Theirs should be the last. Um I've 940 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,440 already um I spoke with some of um the 941 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,599 county codes officials the other day 942 00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,160 asking for an informal update trying to 943 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,440 see, you know, when am I going to get it 944 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,119 back and if you have anything that I can 945 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:26,720 have the engineers working on even 946 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,000 though you haven't given me the formal 947 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,520 one. Um so all the comments on DARE were 948 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680 minimal. We we should not be going for a 949 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,760 fourth round. TAB I'm fairly confident 950 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,200 we're not going for a third round as 951 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,640 well. Um, so what we're doing is usually 952 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,320 the architects will receive the comments 953 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,520 or the engineers will receive the 954 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,440 comments, but we want the comments as 955 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,880 well. So we're looking at them. We're 956 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,640 seeing, you know, is it something that 957 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,359 we can talk through with the county like 958 00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:53,280 um there's a an issue called screening, 959 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,960 right? Where you plant bushes beside a 960 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,720 parking lot to hide it from the general 961 00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,440 view. Well, we as the school division 962 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,880 may have a different view on that and 963 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:01,920 want to have a discussion about it 964 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,160 because we want our campuses visible 965 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,960 both for safety and for appearance. So 966 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,480 we have those kind of conversations with 967 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,240 them informally to try and help that 968 00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,160 process move through. I don't see us 969 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,760 going back for a third and if I if it 970 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,280 does it's going to be so minute that it 971 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680 won't take 45 days. 972 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,680 >> Uh just today I visited uh Grafton High 973 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,480 and Grafton Elementary and I want to say 974 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,119 uh thank you for the Go Tech Lab.

Thank you. 1417 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,680 >> And for folks at home, uh, IIC, what 1418 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,160 does it stand for?

And before I open to the 1429 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:48,160 public comments, I will share some 1430 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,480 remarks. The school board provides 1431 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,240 public comments periods for the public 1432 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:54,160 to comment on matters related to the 1433 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,160 business or duties of the school board 1434 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,359 and school division. School board policy 1435 00:56:59,359 --> 00:57:01,280 KDBDH 1436 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,839 governs these public comments periods. I 1437 00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:05,599 would encourage citizens to review this 1438 00:57:05,599 --> 00:57:07,280 policy prior to speaking before the 1439 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,839 board. Briefly, the school board expects 1440 00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:12,000 speakers to refrain from any speech or 1441 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,839 conduct that is clear violation of the 1442 00:57:13,839 --> 00:57:15,680 law such as abusive or threatening 1443 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,319 language that incites criminal behavior 1444 00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:20,400 or that creates an actual disruption of 1445 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,559 the meeting. We ask the speakers direct 1446 00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:24,799 their comments to the school board and 1447 00:57:24,799 --> 00:57:26,960 not to the members of the audience. 1448 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,559 Violation of the schoolboard policy 1449 00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:30,160 KDBDH 1450 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,000 may result in a warning or termination 1451 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,319 of a speaker's time by the chair. This 1452 00:57:34,319 --> 00:57:36,640 sanction is immediately appealable to 1453 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,280 the whole board at the speaker's option. 1454 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,440 Each speaker may speak for up to three 1455 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,760 minutes. Speaker will present their 1456 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,280 comments at the podium at a time timers 1457 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,040 visible to the speaker from the podium 1458 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:50,960 and speaker should conclude their 1459 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,839 remarks when the red light comes on. The 1460 00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:55,760 timer will begin after you state your 1461 00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,160 name and district or area of residence. 1462 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,119 We have three speakers tonight and the 1463 00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:15,829 first one is Miss Pam Pushelle. 1464 00:58:15,839 --> 00:58:18,559 Good evening. My name is Pam Fusho. I am 1465 00:58:18,559 --> 00:58:20,880 in district 4. 1466 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,040 Shannondela County lost their court case 1467 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,960 on the naming of two schools after 1468 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,599 Confederate enslavers. Their case was 1469 00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:29,839 unique as a previous board admitted the 1470 00:58:29,839 --> 00:58:31,520 names were racist and renamed those 1471 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,920 schools. A newly elected school board 1472 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,760 chose to return the original racist 1473 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,079 names. They are appealing the decision. 1474 00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:39,920 If they lose, they must pay the legal 1475 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,760 fees of the plaintiffs over $15 million. 1476 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,000 Renaming a school such as McGrder is 1477 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,880 much cheaper. Also consider Waller Mill, 1478 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,799 named after Benjamin Waller, who owned 1479 00:58:50,799 --> 00:58:53,200 at least 39 slaves in the Williamsburg 1480 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,200 area that worked in his home mill and 1481 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,760 plantations. Waller was a judge and 1482 00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,200 lawyer who handled the legal 1483 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,960 transactions involved in the sale, 1484 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:02,799 conveyance, or management of enslaved 1485 00:59:02,799 --> 00:59:06,160 people for various estates. John Waller, 1486 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:07,760 Benjamin's father, was the original 1487 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,880 owner of Countente, made famous in Alex 1488 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,079 Haley's book and movie Roots. Our 1489 00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:16,079 supervisors and this board discussed the 1490 00:59:16,079 --> 00:59:18,880 proposed 1% increase in our sales tax to 1491 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,040 fund school construction. There is a 1492 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,200 need as many of our schools are aging 1493 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,440 and an increasing student population 1494 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,680 means more classrooms. Allowing a 1495 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,520 potential lawsuit that may end up 1496 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,680 costing the taxpayers tens of millions 1497 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,400 of dollars is just foolish. The survey 1498 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,640 that was conducted purposely failed to 1499 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,319 explain the history behind the name 1500 00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:40,720 McGrder, resulting in ignorance induced 1501 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,599 answers. Failure to respect the black 1502 00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:45,680 student population is just plain bigotry 1503 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:50,160 in action. In 1865, freed blacks created 1504 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,160 151 free black public schools in 1505 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,079 Virginia. Let's honor them, not 1506 00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:55,839 enslavers. 1507 00:59:55,839 --> 00:59:57,760 It's about time to welcome black 1508 00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,599 students rather [clears throat] than 1509 00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:02,079 require them to go to school that was 1510 01:00:02,079 --> 01:00:03,920 named after a person who fought to keep 1511 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:05,599 them enslaved. 1512 01:00:05,599 --> 01:00:08,240 When the supervisors and Senator Tommy 1513 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,160 Norman created the Tommy tax, we were 1514 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,640 required to pay Williamsburg $400,000 1515 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,480 yearly. The supervisors knew the 1516 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,160 creation of the sports complex would 1517 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,079 cost us 300 to 800,000 uh yearly for 1518 01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:22,240 decades. There is talk of an 1519 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,000 entertainment venue, another losing 1520 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,160 investment. York County is required to 1521 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,000 build a new courthouse or expand its 1522 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,040 size. This and or a failure to enact the 1523 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,680 1% tax may result in an increase in our 1524 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,319 real estate and personal property taxes. 1525 01:00:36,319 --> 01:00:38,240 All of this when many citizens are just 1526 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,839 trying to survive the Trump 1527 01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:42,640 administration's attack on our economy. 1528 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,319 Have you contacted Congressman Rob 1529 01:00:44,319 --> 01:00:46,880 Whitten to Whittmann to request funding 1530 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,680 for some of these school projects? Oh, I 1531 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,440 forgot. He voted for the destruction of 1532 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,200 our public education system. does not 1533 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,960 care if we have overcrowded or vintage 1534 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,480 schools, but prefers to fund Trump's 1535 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,880 vanity projects and wars. Better to 1536 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,720 concern yourselves with unvaccinated 1537 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,240 students, school vouchers, arresting 1538 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,839 undocumented children, attacking 1539 01:01:03,839 --> 01:01:06,160 transgender students while requiring the 1540 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,839 rewriting of history and science as we 1541 01:01:07,839 --> 01:01:10,720 impose Christianity on students. If the 1542 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,720 referendum passes, will the supervisors 1543 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,119 reduce their contribution by the income 1544 01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:17,920 generated, negating any gain? We need 1545 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:22,309 facts. Thank you. 1546 01:01:22,319 --> 01:01:30,950 Next, it's Miss Denil Francis. 1547 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,520 Good evening. My name is Denille 1548 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,599 Francis, District 2. History matters. 1549 01:01:37,599 --> 01:01:39,839 McGreder Elementary School was named in 1550 01:01:39,839 --> 01:01:43,599 1920 during the Jim Crow era. History 1551 01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:46,640 matters. The psychological impact of 1552 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,520 names of enslavers, Confederate imagery, 1553 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,920 and language signaling segregation are 1554 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,520 undeniable. History matters. The 1555 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,599 resistance to integration was so immense 1556 01:01:57,599 --> 01:02:00,319 in Virginia that four school divisions 1557 01:02:00,319 --> 01:02:03,440 completely closed for five years rather 1558 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,960 than integrate. History matters. Some 1559 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,760 Virginiaians forget, never knew, or live 1560 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,920 without impact. So momentum moved 1561 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,240 forward. Truth stretched into what was 1562 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,720 convenient. And folks said, "Rooker 1563 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,839 Elementary was named for a place." But 1564 01:02:19,839 --> 01:02:24,319 that place, that name, that word is, 1565 01:02:24,319 --> 01:02:27,599 was, and will always be inextricably 1566 01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:30,319 tied to Confederate General John B. 1567 01:02:30,319 --> 01:02:32,480 McGrder, a man who ordered the 1568 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:33,920 destruction and burning of our 1569 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,559 neighbors, the entire city of Hampton, 1570 01:02:36,559 --> 01:02:39,119 rather than concede to the Union. an 1571 01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:41,839 enslaver, a man accused of treason 1572 01:02:41,839 --> 01:02:45,680 against the Union. History matters. As 1573 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,200 we recently heard in the ruling of the 1574 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,599 Shannondoa case with school names, local 1575 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,520 officials everywhere should know the 1576 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,559 actions they take today can cast long 1577 01:02:54,559 --> 01:02:56,079 shadows. 1578 01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:57,920 Local officials have the ability to 1579 01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,079 impact history. While the school 1580 01:03:00,079 --> 01:03:02,400 division is always dealing with a lot 1581 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,559 and we are all living in times where 1582 01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:07,119 everything is triaged from capital 1583 01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:09,839 improvements to leaking roofs to laptop 1584 01:03:09,839 --> 01:03:12,799 insurance policies, bus schedules and 1585 01:03:12,799 --> 01:03:14,720 restoration of teacher steps that are 1586 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,680 sure to make the spotlight very soon. We 1587 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,319 need to all keep sight of the bigger 1588 01:03:20,319 --> 01:03:24,319 picture, too. the larger messages to 1589 01:03:24,319 --> 01:03:26,480 students and our community about 1590 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,440 compassion, inclusion, and belonging 1591 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,920 that are literally shaping the future 1592 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:36,319 for all of us. History matters. McGrder 1593 01:03:36,319 --> 01:03:38,400 Elementary School has held its name due 1594 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,720 to inertia and the path of least 1595 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,680 resistance, but one day soon that will 1596 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,119 end. And that history will show that the 1597 01:03:47,119 --> 01:03:50,079 future of all our students matter even 1598 01:03:50,079 --> 01:03:52,880 more. Please rename Recruiter Elementary 1599 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:58,870 School.
