[J. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT - Mid-Year Review of Extracurricular and Club Participation Presenter: Marivel Sedillo, Patty Moreno, Lance Moffett]

A LETTER J. AND SO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.

JUST CORRECTLY. YES. GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M HAYS GOMEZ, DEPUTY ACADEMIC OFFICER.

I'VE GOT MR. LANCE MOFFATT HERE.

OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IS GOING TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ATHLETICS.

AND THEN WE HAVE WILDCAT MR. PIERCE INTRODUCE A FINE ARTS.

AWESOME. THANK YOU, DOCTOR WRIGHT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

APPRECIATE YOU HAVING US TONIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO START AND CELEBRATE OUR HAYS COACHES AND ATHLETES FOR SOME OF THEIR RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY SEEN THE SLIDE WE PUT UP.

THIS IS THE BUSIEST TIME OF YEAR FOR US.

THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE ASKED TO SHUFFLE AROUND THE SCHEDULE.

SO WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT AS WELL.

WE'VE GOT SOFTBALL GOING ON TONIGHT.

WE'VE GOT PLAYOFF BASKETBALL.

WE'VE GOT SPORTS GOING ON ALL OVER THE DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET INTO THAT.

BUT WE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR COACHES IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE MEETING.

WE'RE PROUD OF WHAT OUR ATHLETES AND COACHES HAVE ACHIEVED, IN OUR WATER POLO, SWIM AND WRESTLING TEAMS THIS SEASON.

STARTING NEW PROGRAMS IS NOT AN EASY TASK, AND OUR COACHES HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB NAVIGATING THEIR WAY THROUGH THAT AND EXCELLING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AS YOU KNOW, FROM OUR RECENT CELEBRATIONS.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THOSE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO STAND IF THEY'RE PRESENT.

HEAD WRESTLING COACH FROM HAYES HIGH SCHOOL, GEORGE MACHADO.

JOHNSON. HEAD WRESTLING COACH CHARLENE HAGEMEISTER.

AND OUR LATEST BRONZE MEDALIST IN UIL STATE WRESTLING, ALYSSA ESCARENO, WHO.

DAHLSTROM, OUR LEHMAN HEAD WRESTLING COACH IS NOT HERE TONIGHT, BUT HE'S REPRESENTED BY KEVIN YATES, THE ASSISTANT COACH.

AND HE'S JOINED BY MARCUS MALDONADO.

STATE QUALIFIER.

OUR HAYS HEAD SWIM WATER POLO COACH, JUSTIN PAYNE.

I DON'T THINK HE MADE IT.

I APPRECIATE HIM AND ALL HIS HARD WORK.

OUR JOHNSON HEAD SWIM COACH GABE PARSLEY AND JACKIE SEDILLO.

AND THEN OUR LEHMAN HAD SWIM AND WATER POLO.

COACH DAVID ONON IS NOT IN ATTENDANCE, BUT HE'S REPRESENTED BY, JEREMIAH GONZALEZ AND CARLA PEREZ.

[00:05:06]

WE WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT AND RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN DOING WRESTLING FOR TWO ALIGNMENTS AND WE'RE NOW AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT GETTING MEDALS.

SO THAT'S A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.

WATER POLO HAS BEEN ONE ALIGNMENT.

WE'VE ADVANCED TO THE THIRD ROUND IN THAT WE HAVE DISTRICT CHAMPIONS AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SLIDES, SLIDE ONE IS ALL OUR WATER POLO TEAMS MADE THE PLAYOFFS, HIGHLIGHTED BY A THIRD ROUND APPEARANCE BY THE JOHNSON GIRLS.

HAYS. BOYS WERE DISTRICT CHAMPS AND OUR JOHNSON GIRLS WERE DISTRICT CHAMPS.

RECENTLY FINISHED.

THE SECOND SLIDE IS OUR TURF PROCESS.

WE RECENTLY FINISHED HAYS SOFTBALL, JOHNSON SOFTBALL, AND JOHNSON BASEBALL.

I'M TOLD THAT OUR HAYS BASEBALL PLAYERS WILL BE ON THE FIELD FRIDAY, SO THEY'LL BE FINISHED.

AND THEN WE ARE 20 DAYS INTO RAIN AT LEHMAN, BUT WE ARE STILL PROJECTED TO BE AS CLOSE TO ON TIME AS POSSIBLE AT THIS MOMENT.

WE, THE SECOND THE THIRD SLIDE IS, WE HAVE STATE QUALIFIERS IN WRESTLING FROM ALL THREE SCHOOLS.

WE MENTIONED THOSE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL WAS AIDAN MILLER.

I DON'T THINK HE'S HERE.

THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ANNOUNCE HIM BEFORE.

HAYDEN MILLER, ALREADY ANNOUNCED ALYSSA CARINO, BRONZE MEDALIST.

SHE CAN STAND UP AGAIN, AND YOU CAN GIVE HER ANOTHER ONE.

GOOD. AND THEN MARCUS MALDONADO WAS THE STATE ALTERNATE FROM LEHMAN.

SO, THE NEXT SLIDE IS.

ALL THREE SCHOOLS PERFORMED WELL AT THE U-I-L STATE SPIRIT COMPETITION.

WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM AS WELL.

OUR OFFICE SUPPORTS THEM IN THAT COMPETITION, JUST LIKE WE DO THE OTHER SPORTS IN THE PLAYOFFS, AND THEY DID EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AS WELL.

HAYS HIGH SCHOOL FINISHED 11TH PLACE OVERALL.

JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL FINISHED NINTH OVERALL IN LEHMAN FINISHED IN THE TOP 20 IN THE FIGHT SONG CHEER, SO WE'RE PROUD OF WHAT THEY DID AS WELL.

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY IS REPRESENTED UP THERE AS WELL.

WE SAW SEVERAL OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES SIGN THEIR NATIONAL LETTERS OF INTENT TO ATTEND MANY UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE STATE.

JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL HAD 15 ATHLETES SIGNED LETTERS OF INTENT IN SEVERAL SPORTS SOCCER, SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, TRACK AND FOOTBALL, AND CROSS COUNTRY.

HAYS HIGH SCHOOL HAD NINE ATHLETES SIGNED LETTERS OF INTENT AND SOFTBALL, VOLLEYBALL, BASEBALL, AND FOOTBALL, AND LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL HAD FIVE ATHLETES SET TO SIGN LETTERS OF INTENT AND FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, AND SOFTBALL AS WELL.

SO, SLIDE TWO.

SLIDE TWO. IF YOU DON'T MIND THE NEXT ONE.

THERE WE GO. WE'RE ALL SO PROUD OF WHAT ALL OUR ATHLETES DO AND COACHES DO ACROSS THE DISTRICT, AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.

AND SO WE PUT SOME PICTURES UP OF THINGS THEY DO TO PROMOTE AND SHOW YOU THAT.

WE PUT A FEW OF THE SLIDES ON.

THERE ARE SO MANY CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE COULDN'T BRING THEM ALL TO YOU TONIGHT.

BUT THE FIRST SLIDE IS ATHLETES OPENING DOORS AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

YOU'VE ALL SEEN THAT. WE ALSO HAVE DECALS WITH DADS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS SPORTS.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN THAT IN A GIRLS SPORT WITH COACH RODRIGUEZ AND THE LEHMAN SOFTBALL TEAM TEACHER OF THE WEEK.

APPRECIATION FROM OUR ATHLETES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THAT SPANS ACROSS ALL SPORTS IS TWO WORDS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED THAT IN OUR OFFICE AND PROVIDE IT TO ALL OF OUR CAMPUS AND THEIR COORDINATORS, SO THEY CAN SHARE THAT ALL THE WAY FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL UP TO THE VARSITY LEVEL, AND THEN, TABLES AT MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN VOLUNTEER HELP FOR SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY THE BOWLING EVENT THAT OUR UNIFIED ATHLETES HAVE. WE LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE THINGS AS WELL.

SO, CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO.

LAST YEAR, WE SHARED A LOT OF INFORMATION WITH YOU ABOUT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

WE'RE STILL DOING THAT. WE'RE STILL COLLECTING END OF SEASON DATA FROM EVERY SPORT, AND WE'LL STILL HAVE THOSE TO SHARE WITH YOU ON THE BLOG IN MAY AS TO HOW WE PERFORMED ACADEMIC, ALL STATE, ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT MEASURES THAT WE USE TO DETERMINE OUR BIGGEST THING WITH THAT IS TO BE ABLE TO JUST SHOW YOU, DOCTOR WRITES 100% HAYS INITIATIVE, THAT THOSE KIDS THAT ARE ENGAGED IN ALL THOSE THINGS WE ASK THEM TO DO TEND TO DO BETTER THAN THEIR NONPARTICIPATING COLLEAGUES.

AND SO WE'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND SHOW THAT.

AND THEN THE LAST SLIDE IS OUR NUMBERS FOR THIS YEAR.

WE DIDN'T SHOW A PERCENTAGE LIKE PATTY DID.

PATTY IS AN OVERACHIEVER.

AND SO SHE ALWAYS CALLS US OUT.

WE MAINLY DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE.

WE WE STAYED PRETTY LEVEL.

WE DID INCREASE OUR NUMBERS.

AND ONE THING I'LL SAY ABOUT THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY HARD TO INCREASE YOUR NUMBERS.

THE LARGER YOUR DISTRICT GETS AND THE LARGER YOUR SCHOOLS GET.

IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE APPROACHING 3000 KIDS AT JOHNSON IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

AND THAT NUMBER GETS HARDER BECAUSE IT'S ALL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF TEAMS YOU HAVE.

AND SO WHEN YOU START TO ADD TEAMS TO YOUR SPORTS, THEN YOU HAVE TO ADD COACHES AND YOU HAVE TO ADD SPACE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS.

AND SO WE HOPE TO INCREASE OUR NUMBERS.

WE'RE SITTING STILL AT 38%, WHICH IS WE STARTED AT 32% THE BEGINNING OF LAST SCHOOL YEAR WHEN WE STARTED MEASURING THESE NUMBERS.

SO WE INCREASED PRETTY, PRETTY WELL OVER THE FIRST YEAR TO 38%.

[00:10:05]

AND WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND WE'RE AT THAT 38% NUMBER AGAIN.

SO WE HOPE WE'LL CONTINUE THE TREND OF IMPROVEMENT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE UP THERE WE HAVE 4000 689 KIDS PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS.

AND THAT'S OUT OF 12,000 SECONDARY STUDENTS.

WE DON'T MEASURE ALL THE STUDENTS BECAUSE WE DON'T OFFER FULL PARTICIPATION IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

SO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.

QUESTIONS? YEAH.

COACH, WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FIRST.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND STOP RIGHT THERE. WE'LL SEE IF ANY QUESTIONS FOR ATHLETICS.

I'LL LOOK OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT.

OKAY. LOOKING OVER TO MY LEFT, MISS RUNKLE.

NO QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO COMMENT.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS.

AND ALYSSA AND MARCO.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TONIGHT.

YOU ARE THE REASON WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.

SO TO SEE YOU GUYS HERE AND DOING AMAZING THINGS, LIKE WE LOVE TO SEE THAT.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TONIGHT.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT 100% HAYS IS, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS TOTALLY EMBRACE THAT.

BUT OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, THEY PUT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO INTO THEIR FEEDER CAMPUSES AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE YOUNGER KIDS AT THE ELEMENTARY AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE HAVING SOMETHING TO LOOK UP TO.

AND I JUST CANNOT COMMEND YOU AND THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SPREADING THAT ACROSS OUR DISTRICT, BECAUSE HAYS DOES THAT REALLY EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

AND IT AND THAT'S THAT'S FINE ARTS TOO.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO I APPRECIATE IT.

AND I KEEP DOING THE AMAZING WORK KIDS.

Y'ALL ARE MAKING HAYS C-I-S-D SO PROUD.

SO THANK YOU. AWESOME.

THANKS, COACH. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR WRIGHT, VICE PRESIDENT VELA MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

SO CONTINUING THIS EVENING WITH OUR MID-YEAR EXTRACURRICULAR REPORT OUTLINING OUR 100% HAYS.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF FINE ARTS, MR. JASON ADAM. HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IN FINE ARTS.

THANK YOU. MR.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING.

MISS MORENO APOLOGIZES.

SHE CANNOT BE HERE. SHE HAD A FAMILY COMMITMENT THIS EVENING, BUT.

SO YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME. SECOND CHAIR STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE HERE.

BUT, SO I JUST WANTED AGAIN TO KIND OF GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THAT FINE ARTS HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS YEAR SO FAR.

AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF OUR GROWTH AS WELL.

SO SEE, FOR, FOR DIFFERENT PICTURES ON THERE.

ONE OF THE MOST RECENT ACCOLADES WAS FROM TEXAS THESPIANS.

HAYS CISD NAMED PREMIERE COMMUNITIES FOR THEATER EDUCATION FOR 2324.

SO WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THIS ACHIEVEMENT.

THE THESPIANS ORGANIZATION STARTED THIS A FEW YEARS AGO, IDENTIFYING COMMUNITIES BASED ON, CURRICULUM, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE STUDENTS IN THEATER.

AND WE'RE FORTUNATE THERE'S ONLY LIKE 14 DISTRICTS IN THE STATE THAT EARN THIS ACCOLADE THIS YEAR.

SO, WITH HAYS C-I-S-D BEING ONE OF THOSE.

SO WE'RE VERY, VERY PROUD OF THAT.

SECOND EARLIER IN THE YEAR, YOU HEARD ABOUT THE DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION.

SO THAT'S IN VISUAL ART.

AGAIN, IT'S THE FIRST FIRST TIME ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR DISTRICT, FOR ALL OUR VISUAL ARTS STUDENTS.

LOTS OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, WE HEAR ALL THE PRAISE.

WE SEE THE MARCHING BANDS OUT ON THE FIELD, WE SEE ALL THE MUSIC GROUPS PERFORMING.

AND SOMETIMES I THINK OUR VISUAL ARTS CAN EASILY BE OVERLOOKED.

BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY OUR LARGEST ENROLLMENT AREA IN VISUAL ARTS IS OUR ART STUDENTS.

AND SO REALLY PROUD OF ALL THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

THERE'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE, RUBRIC THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH ENGAGING IN THE COMMUNITY AND PARTICIPATING IN COMPETITIVE EVENTS.

SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.

I'M SURE YOU'VE KNOWN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE BEEN A BEST COMMUNITIES FOR MUSIC EDUCATION.

WE'VE SUBMITTED ALL THE APPLICATION MATERIALS FOR THAT AGAIN, AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT BEING NAMED AGAIN HERE REAL SOON FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR IN THE MUSIC CATEGORY FROM TMEA, THE MUSIC EDUCATOR ASSOCIATION.

WE'VE HAD 338 MUSIC STUDENTS NAMED AS ALL DISTRICT OR HIGHER HONORS THIS YEAR.

THAT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

SO BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE STUDENTS.

AND THERE ARE TEACHERS THAT SPEND SO MUCH TIME PREPARING THEM THAT COULD BE IN ANY MUSIC ORGANIZATION BAND, CHOIR, ORCHESTRA, MARIACHI BAND WITH WITH ORCHESTRA.

THIS WAS OUR FIRST YEAR. WE HAD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NAMED ALL REGION ORCHESTRA STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

SO THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING.

OUTSIDE OF THOSE GROUPS, WE HAVE OUR DANCE PROGRAMS CONTINUING TO THRIVE.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THE ROSETTES RECENTLY COMPETED AT D2 NATIONALS IN FLORIDA, DID EXTREMELY WELL, ADVANCED TO THE FINALS, AND PLACED SECOND IN THE NATION AT THAT CONTEST.

AND THEIR JAZZ ROUTINE. IT'S A VERY ELITE, NATIONAL CONTEST.

OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND PERCUSSION SECTION PERFORMED AT THE TEXAS MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION AS A INVITED AND FEATURED ENSEMBLE.

THAT WAS A FIRST TIME IN RECENT HISTORY THAT WE'VE HAD A GROUP PERFORM THERE AS PART OF THAT STATE CONVENTION, SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL COLOR GUARDS HAVE STARTED THEIR SEASON.

OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL COLOR GUARDS JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND, ALL ALL MIDDLE SCHOOLS COMPETED FOR THE FIRST TIME, AT A COLOR GUARD CONTEST.

[00:15:04]

SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THOSE KIDS OUT THERE, REPRESENTING THEIR SCHOOLS.

SO JUMPING OVER TO THE NEXT SLIDE, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ENROLLMENT.

OF COURSE, IN FINE ARTS, WE SERVE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY.

SO WE'RE ON 25 CAMPUSES, 19 DIFFERENT CONTENT AREAS.

SO, SO QUITE A BIT OF, OF THINGS GOING ON OUR ENROLLMENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT GROWTH AND GROWTH IN ALL AREAS.

SO OVERALL, ABOUT A 7.42% INCREASE IN FINE ARTS ENROLLMENT DISTRICT WIDE.

WHICH, OF COURSE, OUR DISTRICT'S GROWING.

BUT WE'VE NOTICED THAT THIS GROWTH IN FINE ARTS EVEN SURPASSES THE GROWTH IN THE DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE OUR TEACHERS ENGAGING, RECRUITING STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY POST COVID.

IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LITTLE DIP THERE.

2019, 20, 2021 NUMBERS KIND OF WENT DOWN.

AND NOW WE'RE REALLY, REALLY ESCALATING BACK UP.

SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT THAT'S ACROSS MOST ALL OF OUR FINE ARTS PROGRAMS. SO REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THE HARD WORK OF OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS.

SO GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF ANYBODY HAS ANY, MR. ADAMS. YEAH. THANK YOU. I'LL LOOK TO MY LEFT FIRST.

ANY QUESTIONS OVER HERE IS RUNKLE AGAIN.

NO QUESTIONS. BUT THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING TONIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WATCHING COLOR GUARD AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL JUST TAKE OFF.

THE WAY IT HAS HAS BEEN PRETTY AWESOME TO SEE.

I MEAN, EVERY TIME I'M AT, LIKE, MCCORMICK, THAT COLOR GUARD TEACHER, HE'S EVERYWHERE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE BOUNCES AROUND AS MUCH AS HE DOES, BUT HE DOES.

AND, TODAY, YOU KNOW, WE WERE OUT DOING TEACHER GRANTS AND WE GOT SURPRISED BY LEHMAN MARIACHI, WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM THEIR, THEIR PIECES FOR THEIR COMPETITION COMING UP ON SATURDAY.

SO. AND THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

SO YOU HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, SO MANY STUDENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN SO MANY COMPETITIONS RIGHT NOW THAT, JUST KEEP UP ALL THE GREAT WORK.

WE'RE SO PROUD OF THEM ALL AND KEEP INVITING US TO THINGS AND SHARING ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT OUR STUDENTS DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU, MISS RUNKLE. COMING OVER HERE TO MR. FLORES AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR DISTRICT.

YOU AND PATTY ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AS WELL AS MR. MOFFAT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND OF COURSE, OUR ATHLETES THAT ARE IN ATTENDANCE.

AND, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, LIKE, CAMPUS BY CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANY GAPS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME CAMPUSES THAT AREN'T, AREN'T QUITE GETTING TO THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE, THAT WE SEEK, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT THESE ARE ADDRESSED AS WELL IN A CAMPUS BY CAMPUS BREAKDOWN TO SEE.

ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT GROWTH LOOKS LIKE AT SPECIFIC CAMPUSES, THAT MAYBE NOT TO WHERE NOT WHERE WE NEED THEM TO BE.

BUT THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

JUST A CAMPUS BY CAMPUS BREAKDOWN OF PARTICIPATION IN EITHER FINE ARTS OR ATHLETICS WOULD BE WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR DISTRICT.

AND, THANK YOU, WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR KIDS.

YEAH. I WAS JUST DIGGING INTO THAT TODAY AND PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.

I'LL BE GLAD TO SEND IT TO YOU.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT, MISS PETRIE.

THANK YOU. YES, I HAD THE SAME QUESTION I WAS GOING TO ASK COACH MOFFAT, BUT I KNOW HE HAD, A VERY IMPORTANT GIG THAT HE WAS TRYING TO GET TO, SO I WAS TRYING NOT TO ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS. SO THANK YOU, ATHLETES AND COACHES, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

WE LOVE TO CELEBRATE ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AROUND THE DISTRICT.

I, HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO'S IN POWERLIFTING AND IN, BAND.

SO I CARE ABOUT ALL THE THINGS.

THE 100% HAYS ABSOLUTELY IS WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT AND CELEBRATING.

AND MY DAUGHTER'S ONE OF THEM THAT GETS TO TO DO ALL THE THINGS.

SHE'S ALSO IN DEBATE.

SO, I TOO WANTED TO SEE THE BREAKDOWN.

NOT AS MUCH ON ELEMENTARY AT THE FINE ARTS LEVEL.

I MEAN, MR. FLORES MAY CARE ABOUT THAT, BUT I, I THINK I KNOW KIND OF WHAT THOSE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE.

BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE KIND OF MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT THE NUMBERS DIDN'T GO UP MORE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR FINE ARTS BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH OF THE COLOR GUARD.

BUT WE MAY SEE THAT KIND OF YEAR OVER YEAR.

AND TRUSTEE RUNKLE IS RIGHT.

MR. JACOBS IS KIND OF EVERYWHERE, RIGHT? HE, AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU AND MISS MORENO HAVE SHOWN TO GROW THOSE PROGRAMS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TO KIND OF HELP PUSH DOWN SOME OF THOSE, YEAH, THOSE PROGRAMS, BECAUSE WE SEE WHEN WE HOST COLOR GUARD OR OTHER PROGRAMS, WE SEE THOSE MIDDLE SCHOOL COME KIDS COMING IN FROM OTHER SCHOOLS. AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S THAT'S GREAT AND HELPS US BE COMPETITIVE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO THAT ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION.

I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION FOR FOR COACH MOFFAT THAT I WILL SEND IN.

I DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP HIM.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, MISTER ADAM.

I APPRECIATE IT FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

ALL RIGHT, MISS OROSCO. WE DO HAVE A PREMIER ATHLETIC AND FINE ARTS PROGRAMS HERE IN OUR DISTRICT, AND I KNOW PEOPLE OFTEN COME TO VISIT AND WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE HAVE CREATED SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, AND I JUST LOVE THAT IT HAS TRICKLED DOWN ALL THE WAY TO ELEMENTARY, BECAUSE NOW THERE'S UIL COMPETITION IN THE ARTS FOR

[00:20:06]

ELEMENTARY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT BECAUSE NOT EVERY CAMPUS IS DOING THAT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT PARTICIPATION RATE AS WELL.

AN ELEMENTARY LEVEL, TAKING IT DOWN TO ELEMENTARY IS AWESOME.

I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD.

MY DAUGHTER IS GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING IN ART AND THEATER ARTS, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

YEAH. MR. ADAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I KNOW COACH MOFFAT HAD TO GO AS WELL, BUT DEFINITELY I WANT TO ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENTS THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF, OF BOTH PROGRAMS. PROUD OF THE PERFORMANCE THAT OUR STUDENT ATHLETES ARE DOING.

AND, MAN, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER TO HAVE 20,000 PLUS ENROLLED IN FINE ARTS.

JUST FOR COMPARISON, I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW THAT MEASURES UP TO HOW MANY? OUR TOTAL ENROLLMENT, WHICH I KNOW WE'LL GET FROM DOCTOR WRIGHT IN A LITTLE BIT.

BUT JUST TO SHOW HOW WE'RE GROWING TOWARDS 100% HAYS.

SO GREAT JOB. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, MISS MORENO.

YOU KNOW, TO THE COACHES, THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AS WELL.

AND, JUST VERY, VERY PROUD OF OF WHAT EVERYBODY IS DOING.

SO IT'S A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

MRS RUNKLE. YES, MA'AM. BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT, WE DO STILL HAVE TWO STUDENTS HERE.

CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH THEM BEFORE WE.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO BY REQUEST, WE WANT OUR OUR STATE QUALIFIERS AND COACHES AS WELL.

YEAH. LET'S, EVERYBODY THAT MADE IT OUT HERE, LET'S LET'S, LET'S GET A QUICK PHOTO, PLEASE.

MR. SAVOY ARE YOU, PHOTO MAN ON DECK.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US SHUFFLE THE AGENDA AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT TO MANY OF OUR, BOARD MEETINGS, WE LOVE DOING THESE RECOGNITIONS AND OUR CAMPUS RECOGNITION.

SO MAKE SURE AND COME BACK NEXT WEEK AS WELL AT LIVE OAK ACADEMY, I BELIEVE IS WHAT WE'RE THE CAMPUS WE'RE RECOGNIZING.

SO. YES. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON IN OUR AGENDA ITEM, LETTER G, OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT DOCTOR.

[G. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]

RIGHT. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

AND SO, Y'ALL ASK WHAT THE ENROLLMENT IS AND I WILL SHARE THAT WITH YOU.

IT'S 23,523 STUDENTS AS OF TODAY.

WE GREW ONE FROM LAST MONDAY, AND WE ARE 82 STUDENTS ABOVE WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHERS PROJECTIONS INDICATED.

[00:25:01]

AND SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO SURPASS, THEIR FIGURES, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

OUR ATTENDANCE RATE IS 93.08, AND I HAVEN'T GOT THE TOTAL NUMBER ON THIS, BUT I WANT TO SAY OUR 100% HAYS, INITIATIVE IS AROUND 83% PARTICIPATION IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, BECAUSE I KNOW Y'ALL ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE.

AND, SO WE'RE STILL CHASING ABOUT 17% AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP TILL WE GET EVEN MORE BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S SO VERY, VERY IMPORTANT AND SO, SO PROUD OF THE KIDS THAT WERE HERE TONIGHT, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS THAT WE WERE UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE.

THEY'RE PUTTING IN THE EFFORT AND THEY'RE STILL, ACHIEVING ACADEMICALLY.

AND AND SO WE BELIEVE IT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP.

SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT.

WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND VISIT, ALMOST ALL OF THE CAMPUSES IN THE DISTRICT TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO, GIVE OUT OVER $87,000 IN GRANTS TODAY.

AND SO THAT'S A VERY EXCITING.

SO FOR ALL THOSE THAT CONTRIBUTED, JUST KNOW THAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING TEACHERS WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

YOU'RE HELPING WITH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

AND YOU'RE AND YOU'RE HELPING STUDENTS THAT MAY JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXTRA BOOST TO BRIDGE THE GAP, IN ORDER TO, TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME THINGS.

SO, I WAS VERY PLEASED.

HISTORICALLY, WE HAVE BEEN AVERAGING AROUND 70,000, SO WE ALMOST INCREASED OUR GIVING BY ABOUT 20,000 THAT WE WERE ABLE TO INTERJECT BACK INTO THE CAMPUSES TODAY. SO VERY PLEASED WITH THAT.

NEXT THING, JUST A QUICK REMINDER THAT WE STARTED EARLY VOTING TODAY.

AND FOR THE MARCH PRIMARIES THAT BEGINS TODAY, ENDS MARCH.

THE FIRST AND THE PRIMARY, GENERAL ELECTION DAY IS ON THE 5TH OF MARCH.

AND SO JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO VOTE, IT'S SO EASY TO GO VOTE NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN VOTE AT ANY LOCATION IN IN HAYS COUNTY.

AND THE PEOPLE INSIDE ARE REALLY NICE AND VERY EFFICIENT.

I VOTED TODAY, AND I THINK IT TOOK ME MAYBE SEVEN MINUTES TO GET THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SO I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO TO BE AWARE THAT THAT'S GOING ON.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DON'T EVER GET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN, IN, IN AUTHORITY IF YOU DON'T VOTE.

SO JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT KNOWN.

I DON'T CARE HOW YOU VOTE.

IT'S THE OLD GOVERNMENT TEACHER IN ME COMING OUT.

IF YOU IF YOU IF YOU IF YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND, THAT YOUR ONE VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THEN THEN DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

IT REALLY DOES. I PROMISE.

THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT, BARBARA, IF YOU DON'T MIND, PULL UP THE, ASC, BUILDING.

SO, MR. WINSLOW AND MR. CLEAVER AND THEIR TEAM HAVE CREATED A MOVE IN PLANNING DOCUMENT FOR THE NEW, ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT CENTER.

AND AND SO, FIRST OF FIRST TIMELINE.

BARBARA, IF YOU'LL GO TO THE NEXT ONE, THE FIRST BOARD MEETING IS GOING TO BE HELD AT THAT NEW CENTER MAY THE 13TH, 2024.

AND THE DATA CENTER, WE WILL BE MOVING FROM THE OLD FACILITY INTO THE NEW FACILITY OVER SPRING BREAK, WHICH IS LIKE IN THREE WEEKS.

SO THAT WILL BE HAPPENING.

AND THEN OUR PLEDGE IS TO PACK UP THE, CNI STAFF BY THE END OF MAY.

AND THAT WAY THEY CAN MOVE OVER BEFORE THEY HIT THEIR BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR.

YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS HAVE LIFE LESSONS AND AND WHEN WE MOVE THEM FROM, LIVE OAK ACADEMY OVER HERE, IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THEIR MOST BUSY TIMES.

AND I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT MEDIEVAL DIDN'T HARM ANY OF US IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, AND I REALLY DO.

I'M JUST KIDDING. BUT I APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE OF THE CNI STAFF, SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO BETTER WITH THEM THIS YEAR SO THAT, WE'LL HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR SANITY.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT PAGE, THE OVERALL STRATEGY.

I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU.

SO PHASE ONE, I JUST MENTIONED THE DATA CENTER WILL BE MOVED INTO BUILDING B SPRING BREAK, AND THEN THE TECHNOLOGY TEAM WILL WILL MOVE INTO BUILDING B, IN ON MARCH 18TH THROUGH THE 24TH.

SO THE WEEK AFTER SPRING BREAK, THE TECHNOLOGY STAFF WILL MOVE IN.

AND THEN PHASE 2.1, THE BOARD ROOM, THE BOARD CONFERENCE ROOM, WILL ALL BE READY ON 513, AS PROMISED.

YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ASKED NATE TO DELIVER, SO THAT WE COULD HAVE OUR BOARD MEETING, IN MAY, AND AND LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING'S ON TRACK ON SCHEDULE FOR THAT TO OCCUR. AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF BUILDING A, THE FIRST FLOOR WILL MOVE IN MAY THE 27TH THROUGH JUNE THE 5TH.

AND THEN WE'LL FOCUS ON VACATING THE WASH BAY ANNEX, A TECHNOLOGY AND ANNEX, FIRST, BECAUSE WE HAD TO GET PERMITS FROM THE CITY.

[00:30:02]

AND ALL OF THAT IS, IS A IS A PART OF THE THE PLAN FOR FOR PARKING AND THEN REROUTING OUR TECHNOLOGY AND AND SO ALL OF THAT IS ALSO ON SCHEDULE.

AND THEN THE SECOND FLOOR OF BUILDING A, WE PLAN ON MOVING IN PROBABLY THE CNI STAFF AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, FOLLOWED BY OTHERS.

AND SO WE KIND OF GAVE OURSELVES A GENEROUS TIMELINE THERE OF, MAY THE 13TH THROUGH JUNE THE 19TH, AND THEN THE, BUILDING D, WHICH IS THE BUILDING THAT FINANCE AND HR AND COMMUNICATIONS AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE IS CURRENTLY IN, THE ATHLETICS AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MOVE IN, JUST AS SOON AS WE VACATE, WHICH SHOULD BE AROUND MAY THE 28TH AND THE 29TH.

AND SO, REALLY, REALLY DETAILED STRATEGY AND, I THINK, THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB GOING TO THE END USERS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE MOVING PROCESS WILL LOOK LIKE.

WE'RE HIRING AN OUTSIDE MOVING COMPANY.

THEY WILL BRING, TOTES, AND WE WILL PACK THE TOTES AND THEN THEY'LL MOVE THE HEAVY THING.

ALL DISTRICT OWNED PROPERTY WILL BE MOVED BY THE MOVERS.

ALL PERSONAL ITEMS WILL BE MOVED BY THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES.

AND SO JUST KIND OF WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF, OF THAT PROCESS SO THAT IT COULD HOPEFULLY INSTILL A LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE PLAN.

AND SO A HUGE THANK YOU TO NATE AND MAX AND THE TEAM.

A LOT A LOT OF WORK A LOT OF WORK IN LOGISTICS GO INTO THIS.

AND AND THEN OBVIOUSLY STAYING ON TOP OF THE SCHEDULE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROGRESSING AT THE RATE THAT WE NEED TO.

AND SO WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE AND ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. DOCTOR WRIGHT. LOOKING OVER HERE TO MY LEFT, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DOCTOR WRIGHT? MR. MISS RUNKLE. WELL, NO QUESTIONS AGAIN.

BUT I DO JUST WANT TO COMMENT ON TODAY TO THE TEACHER GRANTS.

I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE HAYS EDUCATION FOUNDATION TODAY.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TWO NEW EMPLOYEES THAT JUST DID THEIR FIRST GO ROUND OF TEACHER GRANTS, AND THEY DID ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TODAY.

THERE WERE SO MANY TEACHERS THAT WERE SURPRISED, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THINGS IN THEIR CLASSROOM AND ON THEIR CAMPUSES.

THERE WERE TEARS OF JOY AND EXCITEMENT AND SCREAMS AND YELLS AND ALL THE THINGS AND EVEN KIDS YELLING, FOR THEIR TEACHERS.

SO THAT WAS PRETTY AMAZING.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE HAYS EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

IDA AND CARMEN AND MICAH PETREA FOR DOING ALL OF THE AMAZING WORK AND THE ENTIRE BOARD THAT THEY DO AND PUT INTO TO WHAT THEY DO.

$81,000 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO GIVE OUT IN ONE DAY, AND TO HEAR EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE GOING TO USE IT AND HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT KIDS IS PRETTY AMAZING. SO I HOPE YOU GET TO SEE ALL THOSE STORIES TODAY WHENEVER THEY SHARE THAT.

AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO NATE AND MAX AND THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM FOR THE PROGRESS ON THE ADMIN BUILDING.

MANY OF US WERE ABLE TO GO TOWARD THE ADMIN BUILDING AND IT IS LOOKS AMAZING AND IT IS ON SCHEDULE AND MOVING REALLY FAST.

SO I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE TIME.

I'M DOING ALL OF THE TOURS.

I KNOW THAT THOSE CAN BE NOT EASY BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY BOARD MEMBERS THAT WANT TO ATTEND AND THEN SPOKE, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN THE TIME EACH TIME AND THEY WERE GREAT TOURS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT, LOOKING OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT.

A QUICK QUESTION, DOCTOR. RIGHT.

SO ON THE GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

OUR ATTENDANCE, IT'S BEEN PRETTY STABLE AT 93%.

IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH, IT'S IT'S HOVERED AROUND 93% FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

AND, AND AND WE'VE HAD STILL A LOT OF FLU, A LOT OF COVID, A LOT OF RSV, ALL THE ALL THE THINGS.

OKAY. AND, OBVIOUSLY, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE'RE IN SPRINGTIME WITH, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE SEASONAL ILLNESSES AND ALLERGIES.

WHAT WHAT BIG PUSHES ARE WE MAKING TO FINISH THE YEAR ON A STRONG NOTE.

OUR SAME PLAN. WE'RE WE'RE CALLING AND MAKING SURE TO CHECK UP ON OUR STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE OKAY, AND THEN HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH RESOURCES WHERE THEY MAY BE LACKING AND AND JUST STAYING IN TOUCH SO THAT WE CAN ENGAGE EACH OF THE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

YES. LOTS OF LOTS OF CELEBRATIONS AND GOOD MILESTONES.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, DOCTOR.

RIGHT. OKAY, FOLKS, WE'RE MOVING NOW TO LETTER H PUBLIC FORUM.

[H. PUBLIC FORUM ]

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF OUR MEETING.

AS A REMINDER, ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD IN PUBLIC, IN PUBLIC FORUM, MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE GREEN SHEET LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE MEETING MEETING ROOM PRIOR TO THE BOARD RECONVENING IN OPEN SESSION.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS IS LIMITED TO THE PUBLIC FORUM PORTION OF THE MEETING AND IS PROVIDED AND AS PROVIDED BY BOARD POLICY.

[00:35:02]

BED LOCAL.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OF PUBLIC FORUM IS RECORDED AS PART OF THE RECORDING OF THE ENTIRE MEETING, AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE WITHOUT ALTERATION. A PERSON WHO CHOOSES TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FORUM IS CONSENTING TO THE ONLINE PUBLICATION OF THEIR COMMENTS.

SO TEAM, TONIGHT WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS.

EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES EACH.

ALL RIGHT. AND OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MR. DANIEL HANCOCK.

W DANIEL HANCOCK.

AND, MR. HANCOCK, IF YOU'LL MAKE SURE TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO MAKE SURE THE MICROPHONE IS LIT GREEN SO IT'S ON AND SO WE CAN HEAR YOU.

WHICH BUTTON? ON THE MICROPHONE ITSELF, MR. SERVICE, IF YOU DON'T MIND. ALL RIGHT.

AND IF I HAD TO.

GREETINGS, MR. PRESIDENT.

MR. SUPERINTENDENT, BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF, MY NAME IS DANIEL HANCOCK.

I LIVE AT 124 FOREST MOON LANE IN KYLE, AND I'M A GUEST TEACHER, ALSO KNOWN AS SUBSTITUTE TEACHER IN THE HAYS CISD.

AND I'VE BEEN RETIRED FOR QUITE A WHILE.

I DID THIS IN DALLAS AND LAS VEGAS, SAN ANTONIO, AND I'VE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED BY THE HAYS CISD, AND I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ENJOYING THIS.

BUT WHEN I STARTED, I NOTICED THAT MONEY WAS BEING TAKEN OUT FOR THE TEXAS TEACHER RETIREMENT FUND. AND IF AT ANY POINT ANYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, FEEL FREE TO INTERRUPT ME BECAUSE I WON'T BE OFFENDED.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THIS WAS OF THIS MONEY.

AND I WENT TO THE TEXAS TEACHER RETIREMENT FUND WEBSITE, AND THEY WEREN'T REALLY CLEAR.

BUT I DID FIND OUT THAT IF A TEACHER LEFT THE HAYS CISD TO GO WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY COULD APPLY TO GET THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS BACK, BUT I'M NOT SURE THEY DIDN'T REALLY MENTION SUBS.

SO IS THIS JUST MONEY I'M NEVER GOING TO SEE AGAIN? OR AND I'M RETIRED, I GET SOCIAL SECURITY.

I HAVE LIKE INVESTMENTS.

BUT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS, AND IT'S GETTING TO BE A PRETTY GOOD CHUNK OF CHANGE.

SO I'M JUST WANTED TO KNOW, IS THIS MONEY I'M NEVER GOING TO SEE AGAIN? AM I JUST MAKING A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION TO TEXAS TEACHERS RETIREMENT FUND? THANK YOU.

AND IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, YOU COULD I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER NOW, BUT LATER, IF YOU KNOW IT, YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT I LEFT OR AT MY PHONE NUMBER THAT I LEFT ON THE GREEN SHEET.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, MR. HANCOCK.

AND I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION HAS HEARD YOUR COMMENTS AND THEY WILL GET BACK WITH YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

NEXT WE HAVE JOSH BIDWELL.

I CAN'T SEE ALL THE HANDWRITING HERE, BUT IS IT JOSH BIDWELL? MR. BIDWELL? THANK YOU.

PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.

MY NAME IS JOSH BIDWELL, AND I CURRENTLY WORK AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER IN THIS DISTRICT.

I ALSO GREW UP IN THIS DISTRICT, AND I WORK IN THE SAME SCHOOLS THAT I WENT TO AS A CHILD.

AND TODAY I HAVE A REQUEST FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD.

IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A STUDENT AND EMPLOYEE IN THIS DISTRICT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR A STUDENT TO DECLARE OR RECORD A PREFERRED NAME IN THE DISTRICT'S STUDENT RECORD SYSTEMS. I KNEW THIS VERY WELL AS SOMEONE NAMED JOSHUA.

I THINK THAT ALL JOSHUA'S PREFER TO GO BY JOSH.

SOME PEOPLE PRETEND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I KNOW FOR ME IT WOULD HAVE IMPROVED SOME THINGS LOGISTICALLY DURING MY TIME IN THE DISTRICT AS A STUDENT.

BUT A MORE PRESSING REASON TO IMPLEMENT THIS IS THE NUMBER OF TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT WHO FIND IT VERY MEANINGFUL TO BE REFERRED TO BY THEIR PREFERRED NAME, WHILE THEIR PREFERRED NAMES ARE LIKELY RESPECTED BY THEIR KNOWN TEACHERS AND INSTRUCTORS.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THEY INCIDENTALLY INTERACT WITH IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, LIKE ME, WE DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT STUDENT AND WE RELY ON DISTRICT RECORDS.

DURING THIS SCHOOL YEAR, I HAVE HAD MANY ENCOUNTERS WITH STUDENTS WHO DESPERATELY TRIED TO PULL ME ASIDE BEFORE CLASS STARTED OR PASSED ME A NOTE SO THAT I COULD CALL OUT THEIR NAME CORRECTLY FOR ROLL CALL.

IT IS HARD TO SEE THE PAIN IN THEIR EYES AS THEY TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT I'LL GIVE THEM THE HUMAN RESPECT TO CALL THEM BY THEIR NAME IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.

I CAN ALWAYS SEE A HINT OF FEAR THAT I WILL EITHER CHOOSE NOT TO, OR THAT I WILL FORGET THEIR REQUEST.

THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OR THE ACLU AND THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS RECOMMENDS USING PREFERRED NAMES AND GENDERS FOR CLASS ROSTERS, ID BADGES, AND SIMILAR PURPOSES. THEY SAY.

QUOTE, TRANSGENDER STUDENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED BY THEIR AFFIRMING NAME AND PRONOUNS.

ALTHOUGH A SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT NEED TO UPDATE A STUDENT'S OFFICIAL ACADEMIC RECORDS UNTIL THE STUDENT HAS LEGALLY CHANGED THEIR NAME OR GENDER MARKER, WHICH HAPPENS THROUGH A

[00:40:01]

COURT ORDER. IN TEXAS, THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARD'S GUIDANCE STATES THAT THE STUDENTS PREFERRED FIRST NAME AND GENDER SHOULD BE USED WITH THE STUDENT AND FOR CLASS ROSTERS, IDENTIFICATION BADGES, AWARDS, AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR PURPOSE.

THE TREVOR PROJECT 2023 NATIONAL SURVEY ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE FOUND THAT 41% OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED ATTEMPTING SUICIDE IN THE PAST YEAR, AND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY REPORTED HIGHER RATES THAN THEIR PEERS.

56% OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WANTED MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE PAST YEAR WERE NOT ABLE TO GET IT.

FEWER THAN 40% OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE FOUND THEIR HOME TO BE LGBTQ, AFFIRMING TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO REPORTED THAT ALL THE PEOPLE THEY LIVE WITH RESPECT THEIR PRONOUNS REPORTED LOWER RATES OF ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.

ROUGHLY HALF OF TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY YOUNG PEOPLE FOUND THEIR SCHOOL TO BE GENDER AFFIRMING, AND THOSE WHO DID REPORTED LOWER RATES OF ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.

SMALL THINGS LIKE USING SOMEONE'S PREFERRED NAME, CAN BE AN ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL INTERVENTION AND A LIFELINE FOR SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT.

AS FAR AS THE LAW GOES, FOR FERPA SIMPLY REQUIRES THAT PARENTS OF MINORS BE ABLE TO VIEW THEIR STUDENTS THEIR STUDENT'S PERMANENT ACADEMIC RECORDS AND CORRECT THEM IF THEY ARE MISLEADING OR INACCURATE.

THERE IS NO FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATION PREVENTING HAYS CISD FROM ADDING PREFERRED NAME AND PRONOUNS TO STUDENT RECORDS.

I HAVE CONTACTED HAYS ISD SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR ERIC WRIGHT, AND TO MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MY INTERACTION WITH HIM, THE CURRENT DISTRICT POLICY IS TO USE A STUDENT'S LEGAL SURNAME IN SCHOOL RECORDS.

HOWEVER, THERE IS NO POLICY ON FIRST NAMES IN MY EYES, IMPLEMENTING PREFERRED NAME AND PRONOUNS AS NEW OPTIONAL FIELDS IN THE DISTRICT STUDENT RECORD SYSTEM SHOULD BE STRAIGHTFORWARD, PERMISSIBLE BY LAW AND POLICY, AND CRUCIALLY, IMPORTANT TO SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS.

FOR THIS REASON, I AM ASKING THAT THE DISTRICT IMPLEMENT THIS CHANGE AND IF THEY WANT TO PROVIDE A REASON AND SOME OTHER REALISTIC MEASURE FOR DISTRICT EMPLOYEES SUCH AS MYSELF, TO RESPECTFULLY REFER TO THE STUDENTS IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. BEDWELL.

OKAY. NEXT ON THE AGENDA.

LETTER I THE CAMPUS RECOGNITION THAT WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK, AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER FOR LIVE OAK ACADEMY.

SO MAKE SURE AND COME CHECK THAT OUT.

WE HAVE ALREADY DONE LETTER J, SO WE ARE NOW ON LETTER K CONSENT AGENDA.

[K. CONSENT AGENDA ]

SO TEAM I'M LOOKING AROUND TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY ITEMS TO PULL.

ANY QUESTIONS.

LOOKING OVER TO MY LEFT.

YOU KNOW MY RIGHT. OKAY.

NO DISCUSSIONS. OKAY.

MOVING ON. WENT ON TO ACTION ITEM L ONE.

[L.1. Consideration and possible approval of the District Wide Campus Wireless Network Upgrade - Converge One]

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF DISTRICT WIDE CAMPUS WIRELESS NETWORK UPGRADE.

THIS IS MR. DEWAR. WE'RE ON PAGE 29 OF OUR AGENDA BOOK.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, ANY QUESTIONS? LOOKING OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT, MR..

MR. FLORES, MR. DOYLE, WOULD YOU, COME ON UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? HOW YOU DOING, SIR? VERY WELL.

YEAH. I JUST WANT, I KNOW MR. SEVERANCE REFERENCED THIS AND BOARD BLOG, BUT I JUST WANT TO JUST A CLARIFICATION OF E-RATE FUNDS.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THESE ARE FEDERAL DOLLARS, BASICALLY A DISCOUNT, TO CERTAIN DISTRICTS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES.

CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. AND WHAT'S OUR WHAT'S THE THE CAP ON ON THESE DISCOUNTS? DO ALL CAMPUSES GET THEM OR ARE THERE CERTAIN CAMPUSES THAT, THAT, THAT BASICALLY FALL UNDER THIS CATEGORY? RECENTLY IT WAS PASSED THAT ALL CAMPUSES ARE INVOLVED WITH THE RATE.

IT USED TO BE THAT YOU HAD TO PICK CERTAIN CAMPUSES.

THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE.

HAYS ISD HAS 3.7 MILLION AVAILABLE TO US IN E-RATE FUNDS, AND IT'S OUR GOAL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

YES, SIR. AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FOR THE, THE PURCHASE OF EXTREME WIRELESS FOR BASICALLY AN UPGRADE OF OUR TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES.

CORRECT. AND IN 2015, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THAT WAS THE LAST UPGRADE THAT WE RECEIVED.

THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY.

AND, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE, THE BOND FUNDS FROM 20 TO 2023 BOND, WILL ESSENTIALLY PAY FOR THE REST.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

WE'RE AT AN 8020 RATE.

SO 80% OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE PAID BY E-RATE FUNDS.

WE'RE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH E-RATE CENTRAL AND THE CONSULTANTS THERE.

WE HAVE THREE CONSULTANTS WORKING ON OUR CASE.

ASHLEY BROWN FROM E-RATE CENTRAL IS OUR CONSULTANT, THE ONE THAT WE WORK WITH MOST CLOSELY.

YES, SIR. AND 2015 WAS OUR LAST UPGRADE.

[00:45:05]

YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS APPROVED AND GOES FORWARD, WHAT WOULD BE JUST THE TIMELINE FOR THE NEXT UPGRADE WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE, BEING THAT WE'RE A GROWING DISTRICT AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE BANDWIDTH.

WELL, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'LL CONTINUE TO ADD WIRELESS IN ALL THE SCHOOLS AS THEY'RE BUILT.

BUT WHAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW IS THAT WE HAVE AN AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE WENT TO A 1 TO 1 SITUATION.

SO WE ADDED 20,000 CHROMEBOOKS AND LIKE 5000 IPADS.

SO WE ADDED A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DEVICES, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY ADDED THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE THOSE.

SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN A CLASSROOM IS WHEN PEOPLE TRY AND GET ON, WHEN A TEACHER SAYS, EVERYBODY TURN TO YOUR MATH, YOU KNOW, GO ON THIS, WEBSITE AND IT'LL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE STUDENTS TO ALL CONNECT.

SO THERE'S PAUSES AS THE TEACHER WAITS FOR EVERYBODY TO CONNECT.

SO OUR GOAL IS TO ELIMINATE THOSE PAUSES AND ALSO TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL HANDLE FUTURE GROWTH.

YES, SIR. THAT'S ALL I HAD.

I APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. FLORES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OVER HERE? TO MY RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? OVER HERE ON THE LEFT.

ALL RIGHT, MR. DEWAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

ACTION ITEM L2.

[L.2. Consideration and possible approval of Construction Documents (CD) and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 2 for 2023 Bond Bid Package 1 - Ramage Elementary School]

WHAT HAVE MR. CLEAVER. COME ON UP.

I KNOW HE'S GOT A FEW OF THESE BACK TO BACK, SO.

MR. CLEAVER. YOU WANT TO GIVE US JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF AND THIS IS A THIS IS AGENDA ITEM L2, PAGE 31.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'D LIKE TO START IF IN YOUR DIESE FOLDERS Y'ALL HAVE THE BOND LOOK AHEAD.

SO TONIGHT, LIKE YOU SAID, WE HAVE FOUR ITEMS. WE'RE, NEXT MONDAY, WE'LL BE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR APPROXIMATELY $62.7 MILLION OF PROJECTS.

BID PACKAGE ONE IS RAMAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND THAT IS, ACTUALLY UNDER BUDGET AND IN A DOWNWARD TREND FOR THE GMP THREE. JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BID PACKAGE TWO IS ALSO UNDER BUDGET AND ALSO IN A DOWNWARD TREND.

WE'LL DISCUSS BID PACKAGE FIVE, WHICH IS OVER BUDGET AND IN AN INCREASING TREND.

SO IT'S KIND OF GOING THE WRONG WAY.

AND THEN BID PACKAGE SIX IS ALSO OVER BUDGET, BUT IT'S IN A DOWNWARD TREND.

SO FROM DEED TO THIS GMP IT WENT DOWN.

SO WITH THAT SAID ON PAGE.

31, IN YOUR BOARD BOOK.

THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM.

AND I GUESS THE OTHER THE OTHER THING I SHOULD SAY IS THIS PARTICULAR ROUND, WE'RE TRYING TO DO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON OUR DELIVERY FOR THIS PARTICULAR MEETING.

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE TRANSMITTALS A LITTLE LESS, WHERE WE HAVE TO INSERT NUMBERS INTO THE TRANSMITTAL AND PROVIDE YOU ALL WITH THE, WITH THE INFORMATION UNDER SEPARATE COVER, SO THAT AS THE NUMBERS COME IN AT THE AT THE VERY END, WE'RE NOT CHANGING SO MANY THINGS AND MAKING IT SUBJECT TO US MISSING NUMBERS.

AND SO THAT WAS THE REASON THIS LOOKED A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THIS TIME I GOT A QUESTION FROM ONE OF THE TRUSTEES ABOUT WHY WE DID THAT.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON WHY WE DID THAT.

WE CAN PUT THESE CHARTS THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

WE CAN INSERT THOSE INTO THE FINAL VOTING COPIES, IF THAT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

I THINK IT DOES IF WE WANT TO DO THAT.

BUT, ON PAGE 31, THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S THE, GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE NUMBER TWO.

AND THAT IS TWO GMPS OUT OF TWO, FOR RAMAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU SEE, SHOWS THAT, GMP, TWO IS $40,848,027 AND BOTH COMBINED ARE 50,000,007 88 864.

AND SO THAT WAS ABOUT $2 MILLION SAVINGS OVER OUR LAST REPORT.

AND SO WE HAVE, THE TEAM HERE THAT CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND GO OVER, THE DRAWINGS.

JASON ANDREWS IS HERE WITH HUCKABEE, AND DEREK EVEN IS HERE WITH, BARTLETT COCKE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. CLEAVER.

AND OH, AND JASON HAS THE SLICK PRESENTATIONS FOR THE CD THAT WILL BE HANDED OUT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

THE OTHER ITEM THAT I'D LIKE TO JUST DISCUSS BRIEFLY OR EXPLAIN IS THAT WE DID HEAR Y'ALL DURING THE REQUEST, DURING THE, BUDGET OR, EXCUSE ME, THE AGENDA DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE, HEAR THAT Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, SAW THAT YOU WANTED MORE NUMBERS ABOUT WHAT'S ENCUMBERED.

SO I'M WORKING WITH RANDY, ON GETTING SOME DIFFERENT REPORTS FOR THAT, BOND OR, 2023 BOND SHOWING BY BY, BID PACKAGE HOW THOSE ARE, EXPENDED.

AND RANDY WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT TO US MAYBE AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH.

AND THEY'LL SEEK SYNC UP WITH THE ITEMS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE BOARD BOOK THAT HE PUTS IN THERE NOW.

[00:50:02]

SO IT'LL ALL BE AS OF THE SAME DATE.

SO HERE'S JASON FOR THE, CD PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

SO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT SHOULD LOOK VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN A COUPLE TIMES, BECAUSE THIS REALLY HASN'T CHANGED A WHOLE LOT.

I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE A LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE, THEY'RE PRETTY MINOR.

SO THERE'S FIVE THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TIME WE PRESENTED THIS.

THE FIRST THING IS THAT, TURN IT ON.

WE'VE UPDATED THE PLAYGROUND DESIGN.

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING THIS THROUGH WITH STAKEHOLDERS ON, YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT STANDARD THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW AT SUNFIELD VERSUS OTHER ONES THAT YOU HAVE IN THE DISTRICT. THE CONVERSATION SEEMED TO HONE IN ON, NEGLEY CAMPUS, PLAYGROUND THAT THEY HAVE OUT THERE, WHICH HAS A SERIES OF RAMPS THAT ACTUALLY ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO GET UP INTO THE HEART OF THE PLAYGROUND, AS OPPOSED TO JUST KIND OF HANGING AROUND ON THE ON THE PERIMETER OF IT.

AND SO WE ACTUALLY IN WORKING WITH THE, THE SPED GROUP, JESSICA WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL.

THEN WE MADE A CHANGE TO THAT, THAT PLAYGROUND DESIGN.

AND I WOULD SAY IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY MORE INCLUSIVE THAN WHAT THE CURRENT STANDARD IS.

ON THE FLOOR PLANS.

WE'VE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT OF CASEWORK IN THE WORK ROOMS AND ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND THE WORK ROOM IN THE MAIN ADMIN.

THAT WAS MAINLY TO GAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE COUNTER SPACE.

THAT WAS FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM A LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CURRENT SUNFIELD USERS.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO REARRANGE THAT A LITTLE BIT AND GAIN THEM PROBABLY ABOUT 30% MORE COUNTER SPACE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW.

AND ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN THE WORK ROOM, THEY HAD AN ISLAND SETUP, SO THEY HAD ONE WALL OF CASEWORK AND THEN AN ISLAND, AND WE ACTUALLY DID AN ANALYSIS TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD GET A MORE COUNTERTOP SPACE IF WE WENT FULL PERIMETER.

AND IT DOES GAIN THEM PROBABLY ABOUT ANOTHER 5 OR 10 LINEAR FEET OF COUNTER SPACE.

AND FOR SOME REASON THEY JUST DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE ISLAND.

SO IT WAS KIND OF A WIN WIN TO GET RID OF THE ISLAND, GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE COUNTERTOP SPACE.

WE ADDED SOME UPPERS IN THE ART, CLASSROOM.

THERE'S, THERE'S THE BALANCE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO STRIKE, THAT SORT OF GOLDILOCKS SOLUTION OF WALL SPACE TO BE ABLE TO DISPLAY ART VERSUS STORAGE.

AND SO OF THE THREE WALLS THAT WERE AVAILABLE, WE ONLY ADDED CASEWORK TO ONE WALL.

SO WE GAVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE STORAGE, BUT LEFT A COUPLE OF WALLS THERE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DISPLAY.

WE ADDED A SOUND DOOR AT THE, THE THE DOOR THAT'S ON THE RAMP BETWEEN MUSIC AND THE STAGE.

SO THERE'S BEEN A COMPLAINT AT SUNFIELD ABOUT SOUND THAT'S COMING INTO THE MUSIC ROOM FROM THE CAFETERIA.

AND THE WALLS THAT DIVIDE THE STAGE FROM THE MUSIC ROOM, OR IT'S A DOUBLE FIREWALL WITH, LIKE, SOLID CONCRETE WALLS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.

BUT THIS ONE DOOR WAS NOT A SOUND DOOR, SO IT DIDN'T BLOCK SOUND VERY WELL.

IT DIDN'T HAVE SEALS ON THE BOTTOM.

AND SO THAT IS, WE VERY LIKELY THE POINT OF WEAKNESS FOR THE SOUND TO BLEED IN THERE.

SO WE CHANGED THAT TO A SOUND DOOR.

AND THEN WE HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH JERRY ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AND WE ACTUALLY ADDED SOME FILM, SOME OPAQUE FILM TO THE LIBRARY, WHICH SHOWS UP IN THIS RENDERING TOO MANY.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE WE TOOK THE FILM, THAT IT'S OPAQUE FROM A VISUAL STANDPOINT, BUT WILL STILL LET THE NATURAL LIGHT COME THROUGH.

SO THE BAR LIGHT IS STILL GOING TO HAPPEN.

BUT PEOPLE CAN'T LOOK DOWN INTO THE LIBRARY.

SO IT WAS A COMPROMISE SOLUTION FOR ADDED SECURITY WITHOUT TAKING AWAY, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF NATURAL LIGHT INTO THAT LIBRARY.

SO THOSE ARE THE ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED.

THANK YOU. JASON. COMING OVER HERE TO MY TO MY RIGHT, MISS PETRIE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE HAD SOME INPUT FROM OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND FROM OUR FDOC CHAIR, AND THAT'S FANTASTIC.

ON THE ADA ACCESS, PLAYGROUND.

IS THIS SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING GOING FORWARD? OUR CAMPUSES. I'M KIND OF LOOKING AT MR. CLEAVER NOT KNOWING WHO OUR ARCHITECT MAY BE IN THE FUTURE.

SO NO OFFENSE, HUCKABY, BUT, I LIKE IT.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

ON OUR NEW BUILDS FOR SURE.

AND WE'RE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH OCR ON BID PACKAGE TEN ON OUR, OTHER PLAYGROUNDS.

SOME OF THE EXISTING ONES, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY'RE BUILT, YOU CAN'T GET A RAMP TO THEM BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET UP THERE, THERE'S NOTHING TO DO.

SO WHERE WE CAN WE'LL DO THOSE RAMPS.

OTHERWISE THAT'LL JUST HAVE TO BE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION GOING FORWARD.

SO FOR CULLEN, IS IT TOO LATE? CULLEN IS.

THAT'S A THAT ONE'S ALREADY DO.

I GOT IT IN FOR CULLEN.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE. OKAY, GREAT.

PERFECT. AND SO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS SOUND DOOR.

OKAY, THESE DOORS ARE SUPER HEAVY.

AND MY DAUGHTER GAVE HERSELF A CONCUSSION FROM ONE OF THOSE DOORS, SO NOT TO FREAK OUT, CHIEF SKROCKI.

AND I CAN'T SEE HER RIGHT NOW.

[00:55:01]

THOSE ARE THEY'RE REAL HEAVY.

AND THESE ARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS, SO I'M JUST WONDERING, LIKE, HOW HOW THAT WORKS.

NOW, SOME OF THE PRIVATE LESSON DOORS.

ARE THEY AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE? WHICH I DON'T THINK I WOULD RECOMMEND BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER.

SHE I DON'T KNOW, SHE'S A LITTLE BIT KLUTZY JUST IN GENERAL.

SO THERE'S THAT. BUT I MEAN, IT JUST HIT HER RIGHT SQUARE IN THE FACE AND CONCUSSION.

SO, JUST JUST THROWING.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EVER PUT A SOUND DOOR IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, SO THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING THIS UP.

YEAH. THE CLOSER ON THOSE DOORS IS A BIG PART OF THE REASON THEY'RE SO DIFFICULT TO OPEN.

AND SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY WOULDN'T WE WOULDN'T NEED THAT CLOSURE.

SO YOU WILL NEED THE CLOSER.

WE WON'T NEED THAT CLOSER. OKAY.

THE TEACHER THE TEACHER WILL HAVE TO CLOSE THE DOOR.

OBVIOUSLY THE SOUND.

OKAY. BUT YEAH, THE DOORS THEMSELVES WILL THEY'LL END UP BEING BALANCED ON THE HINGES.

IT'S THE CLOSURES APPLY FORCE, AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH AGAINST THOSE CLOSURES A LOT OF FORCE.

AND SO AND ACTUALLY WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE ADA ACCESSIBLE PRACTICE ONES HAVE A LIMIT ON HOW HARD IT IS TO PUSH ITS 5 POUNDS OF FORCE.

SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO TWEAK THOSE CLOSURES TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM.

IT'S TOO LATE FOR MY DAUGHTER.

BUT THANK YOU FOR, SAYING THAT.

YEAH. BUT CERTAINLY AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAD DO WE EVER HAVE HAVE WE EVER PUT ONE IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MR. CLEAVER THAT YOU KNOW OF? I DON'T NOT NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

WELL, I THINK IT'S A GREAT SOLUTION.

AND I KNOW WE WE HEARD THAT COMPLAINT AT EGO, WHICH WAS KIND OF THE TEMPLATE THAT THERE WAS SOME ISSUES BETWEEN THOSE AND WE THOUGHT WE FIXED IT WITH THE, THE DOUBLE FIREWALL CONCRETE. SO THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO LISTEN TO STAKEHOLDERS AND ITERATE ON THIS DESIGN SO THAT WE CAN, LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF NOISE COMING IN FROM THE CAFETERIA TO, TO ANY CLASSROOM BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT IS AN ISSUE.

THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR SUMMARIZING THE THE THE MINOR CHANGES.

THAT WAS VERY, VERY HELPFUL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MISS PETREA.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OVER HERE? TO MY RIGHT.

OKAY. COMING OVER TO MY LEFT, MR. SEVERANCE. THANK YOU.

JUST, TWO COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, MAX, FOR CLARIFYING THAT YOUR SUPPORT DOCUMENTS WILL ACTUALLY BE ON THE TRANSMITTAL.

I FEEL LIKE I'M A PRETTY SMART GUY, BUT I'M GOING TO LIKE, THREE DIFFERENT PAGES TO TRY TO FIND A NUMBER TO MATCH.

TO WHAT? THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE VOTING ON.

I WOULD LOVE IT TO JUST KIND OF BE ALL TOGETHER AT ONE TIME.

I DON'T THINK THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO CHANGE BETWEEN TODAY AND NEXT WEEK, JUST ALL IN THE TRANSMITTAL.

SO IT'S JUST EASIER TO DIG THROUGH.

BUT THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS PROVIDED FANTASTIC.

I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU.

MY ONLY QUESTION ON THE ON THIS IS WE TOURED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16 COLON AND THE VOLUME IN THE CAFETERIA. MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME OF THE NOISE THAT'S GENERATED IN THOSE SPACES.

AND SO I WAS TOLD THAT THE VOLUME OF THE CAFETERIA IN 17 IS GOING TO BE LESS THAN WHAT WE DID AT 16.

LIKE, HOW MUCH LESS? BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU IT'S 100, 100FT IN THERE.

IT LOOKS REALLY LIKE A LOT OF ROOM THAT WE DON'T NEED.

SO SO IT WAS A SLOPED ROOF.

SO THE IT'S AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT EIGHT FEET LOWER, BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE SHORTER ON THE LOW END AND A LITTLE TALLER ON THE HIGHER END.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE VOLUME IN THERE, THE PHYSICAL VOLUME IN THERE ACTUALLY DOES HELP WITH SOUND.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE DO IT.

BECAUSE LETTING THAT SOUND GET UP AND BOUNCE AROUND UP IN, UP ABOVE EVERYBODY HELPS WITH THE SOUND.

SO WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO COME DOWN TOO LOW.

WE CAN WE CAN BUFFER THAT WITH ACOUSTICAL PANELS ON THE WALL AND, ACOUSTICAL STUFF ON THE CEILING.

WE'RE ALREADY DOING AN ACOUSTICAL DECK, WHICH IS THE METAL DECK THAT SUPPORTS YOUR ROOF.

IT HAS AN ACOUSTICAL PROPERTY TO IT.

SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THINGS TO HELP MITIGATE THAT.

SO I FEEL LIKE YOU COULD TAKE 30FT OUT OF THAT ROOM.

LIKE, I'M NOT KIDDING. LIKE, I'M.

I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHY WE KEEP THAT VOLUME IN THAT ROOM.

I MEAN, I CAN GO TO ELM GROVE ELEMENTARY AND I CAN JUMP UP AND PRETTY MUCH TOUCH THE CEILING.

AND THEY HAVE A STAGE AND ALL THE THINGS AND THE VOLUME IN THERE.

I'M JUST I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY IT'S SO MUCH, WHY WE COULDN'T.

I WOULD LOVE I'M PRETTY SURE MAX WOULD LOVE NOT TO AC AND HEAT THAT THOSE GIANT WINDOWS THAT ARE ABOVE THE AWNING THAT'S OUTSIDE PROBABLY HEAT THAT SPACE.

PRETTY GOOD ENERGY MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT WE HIRE TO SAVE US MONEY.

WE'D LOVE TO PROBABLY RIGHT US SOME LARGER CHECKS TO THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH MORE MONEY WE COULD SAVE.

SO IF WE COULD JUST LOWER THAT VOLUME, I JUST I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD HAVE THAT MUCH VOLUME IN THERE.

LIKE AT LEAST AT LEAST LOWER IT DOWN TO THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE GYMNASIUM, WHICH WE DID.

THAT'S THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID.

WE TOOK IT DOWN TO THE GYMNASIUM HEIGHT MORE THAN EIGHT FEET.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, JASON, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I GUESS MR. CLEAVER. YOU CAN REMAIN UP HERE, SIR.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO, L THREE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE GMP TWO AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT CD ESTIMATES

[L.3. Consideration and possible approval of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 2 and Construction Document (CD) Estimates to-date for 2023 Bond Bid Package 2 for Improvements at Johnson High School]

TO DATE FOR THE 2023 BOND BID PACKAGE TWO FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS AT JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

ALL RIGHT, MR. CLEAVER, GIVE US A QUICK RUNDOWN, PLEASE, SIR.

OH YES, SIR. OKAY, SO ON THIS ONE, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE TWO TWO PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDER BUDGET AND ONE WE JUST DISCUSSED IN THIS ONE, THEY'RE UNDER BUDGET BY ABOUT 19

[01:00:05]

MILLION. AND THEN WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE ONES THAT ARE OVER BUDGET BY ABOUT THREE.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE, WE WE ALSO HAVE HUCKABEE HERE.

JASON'S HERE, WE, WE HAVE DRAWING SOME EXCERPTS FROM THE CDS FOR THIS ONE, I BELIEVE.

I'M, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE AT YOUR DYESS FOLDER OR THERE THEY GO RIGHT THERE.

AND JACE CAN TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES.

THIS IS THE, SITE PACKAGE FOR, JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

BID. THIS IS BID PACKAGE TWO.

BID PACKAGE THREE WILL BE THE BALANCE OF THE WORK, AND WE'RE BRINGING THAT NEXT WEEK.

WE ACTUALLY OPENED THOSE BIDS TODAY WITH CORE AND, THAT'S THAT'S TRENDING IN A GOOD DIRECTION.

TREVOR FLYNN IS HERE WITH CORE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE FOR HIM, BUT, JASON, IS HERE AGAIN TO GO OVER THE CHANGES OR TO TALK ABOUT THE SITE PLAN.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE SITE PLAN ITSELF, THE LAYOUT, NOTHING'S CHANGED SINCE LAST TIME WE TALKED.

SO REALLY JUST TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU'RE GETTING FOR FOR YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE.

IT'S ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR PARKING, YOUR SIDEWALKS, ALL THE DIRT WORK LANDSCAPING, UNDERGROUND UTILITIES.

SO WATER, WASTE WATER, POWER, GAS, ALL THAT STUFF THAT'S NOBODY'S GOING TO SEE.

IT'S YOUR DETENTION POND EXPANSION THAT WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO MEET CODE.

AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY ABOUT IT.

ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SITE WORK OUTSIDE OF THE PHYSICAL BUILDING ITSELF.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I'LL LOOK OVER HERE TO MY LEFT. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. LOOKING OVER TO MY RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. EASY ENOUGH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON DOWN TO, ACTION ITEM L FOR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.

[L.4. Consideration and possible approval of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 2 and Construction Documents (CD) for 2023 Bond Bid Package 5 for improvements at Dahlstrom Middle School and Wallace Middle School]

GMP TWO AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS CD FOR 2023 BID BOND BID PACKAGE FIVE FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ALL RIGHT, MR. CLEAVER. ABSOLUTELY.

AND, THIS IS WHERE WE SWITCH OVER TO THE OCR TEAM, THE O'CONNELL ROBERTSON TEAM.

JARED IS HERE, AND THEN THE JACKSON CONSTRUCTION TEAM, WE GOT BRIAN PALMER AND JOE GUIDETTI AND A NEW TEAM MEMBER I HAVEN'T MET.

I THINK IT'S JOHN THOUGH. IS IT JOHN ERNSBERGER.

SO I HADN'T MET HIM YET BUT WELCOME.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE. SO THIS WAS THE PROJECT THAT, LAST TIME WE WERE ABOUT 10 OR $11,000 UNDER BUDGET, AND WE HAVE NOW GONE THE WRONG DIRECTION BY ABOUT, $1.3 MILLION.

AND THE REASON BEING IS THE BUDGETS WERE DEVELOPED USING LIKE, A 1 TO 1 REPLACEMENT METHODOLOGY.

SO WE COUNTED UP THE NUMBER OF TONS OF COOLING WE WERE GOING TO NEED AND MULTIPLIED BY A NUMBER.

AND TURNS OUT THAT THAT WAS NOT A GOOD WAY TO DO BUDGETING.

AND THAT'S WHY WE NOW HAVE BID PACKAGE 12 IN OUR BOND SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE ENGINEERED NUMBERS GOING FORWARD.

SPECIFICALLY, THE BIGGEST ITEM ON THIS WAS BUILDING PRESSURIZATION, AND THERE WAS NO WAY THAT THAT WAS I WAS GOING TO THINK OF THAT WHEN I WAS DOING 1 TO 1 REPLACEMENT. BUILDING PRESSURIZATION HAS TO DO WITH NEWER AIR CONDITIONERS BEING PUT IN AND NOT WANTING TO HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THOSE AIR CONDITIONERS COME ON BECAUSE OF ALL THE OUTSIDE AIR THAT THEY USE, THAT THEY ACTUALLY SUCK IN AIR WHERE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO COME IN AND YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION.

SO THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ITEM.

DRIVING THE COSTS UP ON THIS WAS THE BUILDING PRESSURIZATION.

AGAIN, THOUGH, FROM THE BOND.

LOOK AHEAD. WE DO THESE, BID PACKAGES SO THAT SOME IF SOME ARE UNDER BUDGET, SOME ARE OVER BUDGET.

WE GET ALL ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

BUT JARED IS HERE, TO GO OVER DOCUMENTS.

DID Y'ALL BRING, FLICK OR.

OKAY? OKAY.

I THINK WE HIT.

DID BARBARA DID WE PUT SOMETHING ON THE SCREEN? OKAY, OKAY. SO WE DO HAVE ON THE SCREEN.

WE'LL BRING THE SLICKS TO YOU NEXT WEEK.

SO HERE'S JARED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S CHANGED.

SO VERY EXCITING STUFF HERE BECAUSE IT IS BLACK AND WHITE TECHNICAL DRAWINGS MUCH OF WHICH HERE ULTIMATELY THE BIG PICTURE IS THAT WE FINISHED THE DOCUMENTS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOCUMENTS HERE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, NO REAL CHANGES ON THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, REALLY HONED IN ON GETTING THE FINAL SIDEWALKS IN PLACE, MAKING SURE IT'S EXTENDED, EXTENDING THE CANOPY AND PROVIDED LIGHTING, LIGHTING UNDERNEATH THE CANOPY ALL THE WAY TO THE EXTERIOR.

YOU SEE THAT IN BOTH OF THESE PAGES HERE? ULTIMATELY, KIND OF WHAT MAX WAS GETTING INTO IS FINISHING THE MECHANICAL DESIGN.

MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT, BUILDING, PRESSURIZATION, EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT, DUCTWORK.

WITHIN THE DESIGN, WE ARE CURRENTLY CONTINUING TO EVALUATE VALUE ENGINEERING OPTIONS TO BRING THE BUDGET BACK DOWN AS MUCH AS WE CAN THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO HONE IN ON THAT, MECHANICAL SCHEDULES, ROOFING.

WE TALKED LAST TIME AS WELL THAT WE DID PRICE BOTH BASE BID AND ALTERNATE FOR AN OVERLAY AND FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT.

AND WE HAVE STARTED TO WORK THROUGH THE INFRARED SCANNING AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT SCOPE OF WORK AND BALANCE.

[01:05:05]

SO THERE IS SOME WATER INFILTRATION IN THE AREAS OF THE ROOF, THOSE AREAS WE WILL DO THE FULL REPLACEMENT WHERE THERE'S NOT.

WE'LL JUST DO THE OVERLAY.

SO THAT WAY YOU END UP WITH THE 30 YEAR WARRANTY, THAT THE DISTRICT STANDARD IS AT.

MECHANICAL DRAWINGS.

FUN STUFF. AND THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JARED.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, LOOKING OVER HERE TO THE RIGHT, MISS PETRIE.

YES, MA'AM. I'M GLAD YOU CALLED ON ME BEFORE MR. SEVERANCE, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS HAS REAL SMART QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER. BUT, I JUST I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE THE ESTIMATES ON THE 1 TO 1 AND AND HOW WE GOT HERE.

AND I KNOW WE CAN'T ALWAYS GET THIS PERFECT, BUT TALK TO ME ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR FOR GETTING THE ESTIMATES.

DO WE INVOLVE THE ARCHITECT WHEN WE'RE DOING THAT, OR IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE INVOLVED TO TO GET US CLOSER TO THE NUMBER? AND I KNOW, HONESTLY, THIS ISN'T THAT FAR OFF, BUT SOME OF THESE MORE KIND OF LIKE HVAC OR ROOFING OR WATER PUMPS OR BOILERS, SOME OF THOSE THINGS I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAVE TO THROW A DART AT THE WALL AS BEST WE CAN, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET WHEN WE GET IN THERE.

SO, I'D JUST LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU KIND OF.

ABSOLUTELY. WE GOT OFF HERE.

NO, WE, WE ACTUALLY INVOLVED THE CONTRACTOR TO GET THE COST PER TON.

AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, 330 TONS PLUS OR MINUS.

YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY A NUMBER.

THERE'S YOUR BUDGET. HERETOFORE HAD ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME.

OKAY. BUT I THINK MAYBE THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS ON BOTH WALLACE AND DAHLSTROM, THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF AIR CONDITIONERS.

IT'S NOT JUST ROOFTOPS, IT'S ROOFTOPS AND SPLIT SYSTEMS AND A WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP.

SO IT'S A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.

AND SO IT'S NOT JUST A ONE FOR ONE, ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

YOU KNOW, HYDRONIC SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE X PER TON.

ROOFTOPS HAVE EXPERT TON.

AND THEN SPLIT SYSTEMS HAVE ANOTHER PRICE.

AND OVERLAY THAT THAT CODE HAS CHANGED SINCE, YOU KNOW, 1980 OR WHENEVER THOSE LAST ONES WERE.

SO YES.

SO WE, WE INCLUDED THE PEOPLE THAT, DID THE WORK AND GOT THE PRICE, THE TONNAGE PRICE.

WHAT WE DIDN'T INCLUDE WAS THE ENGINEERS TO GET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE LEARNED.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHERE WE'LL IMPROVE.

OKAY. THANKS, MR.. CLEAVER.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OVER HERE? TO THE RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

COMING OVER TO MY LEFT.

MR. EVANS JUMPED UP ON THE MICROPHONE.

GO AHEAD, SIR. PROMISE? IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT, BUT I DO.

BUT I DO HAVE. YOU MENTIONED YOU'RE GOING TO VALUE ENGINEER PART OF THAT.

WHAT? WHAT PORTION OF THAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT? VALUE ENGINEERING. WE'RE TRYING TO VALUE ENGINEER.

SO SO THE ONE FINAL THING THAT'S OUT THERE IS AN EQUIPMENT.

POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT CHANGE.

AND AND I MIGHT GET IT RIGHT.

IT'S EITHER FROM TRAIN TO DIXON OR DIXON TO TRAIN BECAUSE THAT WASN'T OUT THERE ON THE BID.

BUT WE NOW KNOW THAT THERE IS A ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OR THE OTHER THAT IS AVAILABLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CHECK ON TO SEE IF THAT'S THIS IS EXISTING AC THAT WE'RE REPLACING.

RIGHT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NEW BUILDING PRESSURIZATION AND EXHAUST AND FRESH AIR STUFF.

OKAY. I MEAN TO TO TRUSTEE PETER'S POINT, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO, LIKE FOUR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER A BOND THAT WE BUILD TO KIND OF HAVE TO GET NOT BE KIND OF LIKE A THROW A DART OF WHAT THINGS ARE GOING TO COST.

LIKE THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S THE CONTRACTOR GOES OUT WITH AN HVAC GUY AND SAYS, BID IT OUT.

HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST? I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH UNDERSTANDING HOW IT'S NOT HOW IT'S THAT WRONG WHEN IT'S JUST REPLACING CURRENT EQUIPMENT, LIKE WE'RE JUST DOING A SWAP OUT. IT'S JUST. YEAH, AND I KNOW HOW TO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY IT LIKE TO MAKE IT LIKE NOT COME ACROSS AS BEING BITTER ABOUT IT, BUT I JUST DON'T I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN IF WE'RE JUST SWAPPING OUT WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE, LIKE HOW A CONTRACTOR CAN'T DID THAT.

WELL, SO WE DIDN'T.

WE JUST GOT A A COST PER TON.

HEY, WHAT ARE Y'ALL SEEING IN THE MARKET? AND I'M MY GUESS.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTIONS HERE.

THEY WERE ASSUMING ROOFTOPS BECAUSE THAT'S THE MAIN THING WAS IN MY HEAD.

AND WE WERE WHEN WE MADE THE BUDGET AND IT WAS FOR A ROOFTOP NUMBER.

AND THAT JUST WASN'T ACCURATE.

SO I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO DIG DEEPER AND ACTUALLY GET SPECS AND GET GET CONTRACTOR INPUT ON OUR WORK, NOT JUST EXAMPLE WORK.

THAT'S LIKE CONTRACTOR OR SUBCONTRACTOR INPUT ON OUR WORK WITH SOME LEVEL OF ENGINEERING APPLIED TO IT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT. WELL, THANKS FOR THANKS FOR WALKING ME THROUGH THAT.

BUT I JUST I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE REALLY.

WE IT'S A IT'S A SWAP FOR SWAP.

JUST. IT SHOULDN'T BE OFF BY $1 MILLION.

AGREED. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

MR.. CLEAVER NOT TO BEAT THE DEAD HORSE.

I MEAN, YEAH, I DEFINITELY HAD THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THERE'S PROBABLY A CTE CLASS IN THERE THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH ON FIGURING OUT, YOU KNOW, PRESSURIZATION.

I'M JUST SAYING, I KNOW WE'RE PRETTY CREATIVE, BUT.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSPARENCY AND FOR THE EXPLANATION.

JARED, THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION THERE.

[01:10:03]

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, MOVING ON TO, ACTION ITEM L FIVE, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE DESIGN TO DATE DEED AND GUARANTEED MAXIMUM

[L.5. Consideration and possible approval of the Design-to-Date (DD) and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 2 for 2023 Bond Bid Package 6 for Improvements at Kyle Elementary, Elm Grove Elementary, Fuentes Elementary, Tom Green Elementary, Hemphill Elementary, Pfluger Elementary, and Simon Middle School]

PRICE GMP TWO FOR 2020 2023 BOND BID PACKAGE SIX FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS AT KYLE ELEMENTARY, ELM GROVE ELEMENTARY, FUENTES ELEMENTARY, TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY, HEMPHILL ELEMENTARY, PFLUGER ELEMENTARY, AND SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

MR.. CLEAVER. ABSOLUTELY.

SO YOU CAN, SEE ON PAGE 38, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENT SCOPES ARE.

AND THEN ON 37 YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE WERE AT DOWDY, WE WERE OVER BUDGET BY ABOUT 1.9.

AND SINCE THEN, WE LIKE I SAID, THIS IS TRACKING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION WHILE STILL OVER BUDGET.

IT'S LESS OVER BUDGET THAN IT WAS AT DH.

SO WE'RE NOW AT THE, THE GMP TWO AT $7.5 MILLION, AND IT PUTS US OVER BUDGET BY ABOUT 1.6, AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE.

AND AGAIN, JARED IS HERE TO, TO TALK THROUGH, THE ANY PROJECT POINTS THAT HAVE CHANGED.

AGAIN. HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL DRAWINGS OF THE SIX CAMPUSES.

I WOULD SAY THE PRIMARY CHANGE, AS WE'VE SEEN AND CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT, IS AS WE TALK ABOUT BIG PACKAGE 12.

AND THE INFLUENCE OF SOME OF THE EXISTING CAMPUSES, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT PUTTING WORK INTO PLACE TODAY, THAT WE WOULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE IN THE NEXT YEAR.

SO WE INTEGRATED SEVERAL ALTERNATES HERE THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS.
