>> It's a great opportunity. >> No problem. >> It's taken us a while to get here, but we're happy to be here and it's taken a lot of thought and a lot of creativity to get a solution that works well. school district. >> Not a question, just a comment. I do appreciate all the work you guys went through to put this together and also that included [clears throat] we do see in the packet um where the how you'll be able to build the permanent structure while maintaining the the least units. That's exactly what we're asking for. It looks like a great project moving forward on [clears throat] >> So my only It's a comment. So, I'm assuming that the Prop 39 proposal that was given to you guys by February 1, correct? Um, that you'll you'll decide to make no claim for that Prop 39.
So the SP addresses harassment by by non-emp employees, >> right? Okay. So you folks are you folks are fine with that in there. Um okay. [clears throat] And then what about as far as the investigation? It does say conduct a formal investigation. So, we would we wouldn't do the same as a personnel investigation because it involves an outside party, but it would have the same components because we'd be asking for statements. Uh we'd be asking we'd be doing interviews and doing an analysis to come up with a determination. >> Okay. So, the intent is not to hire out a full-on investigation. >> No, >> we can do that in house. >> Okay. And then finally, the question on training. According to the bill, we say you may implement it uh into uh provided that the training may be included in the annual safety training provided by the department for all employees.

Um it's that 20 years old thing and they last about 20 years, you know, so that's that's when you do it. You [snorts] don't push it because then you get in trouble." >> How old are they? >> It's in the report, but they were the chiller in the report. I reread through this morning. I recall them at Prairie Crossing and Otter being kind of the end of their expected life. I would think Otterman is older. >> Yeah. And it's under I don't know the exact >> Okay. Prairie Crossings is all the way down in an eight. So it must have been you had more confidence in it. >> And with the addition, well, there'll be more pressure on that chilling. [clears throat] >> Well, the with that addition as small as it is, it probably is not going to tax it. There was probably enough [snorts] capacity load to handle a little bit more and that's the way he would normally design it.
And then I'm assuming also that by this time next year, you'll be frantically over to the property and you won't have any doing 39 again. Correct. >> So I can only say that that's under consideration by the board and of course we do not need two locations. That's all that's my best. We're meeting this afternoon to discuss properly. Thank you. Uh, member Case's question raised more questions. There's a timeline on um the response on Prop 39. That's right. And what what is it and how do they have to refuse in writing or modify in writing? Just Y please for me the Prop 39 issue. >> So we provided a preliminary offer on February 1st and the next step would be for to respond to that preliminary offer and then the district gets to provide a final offer with the final decision by this blue charter school would be May.
So is it your intent to embedded? >> Um we're we're looking at that right now. I think we want to have everything packaged first and we want to be able to have the training ready to share with the employees on how to access it. Uh we're we're looking at considering including in the opening of the school year packet, but we would be reviewing it on an ad. >> Okay. So if we change the word to made to shall that way you embedded and not necessarily have to have teachers come to a whole separate another training class. >> Sorry, can you repeat that again? >> Yeah. Instead of you know because that the currently the bill says may be included which means you could do it another way. You could have another whole one hour separately and force teachers to or employees to come in and to do an extra training.

That would be my anticipation. I'm sure that was checked before added, >> right? >> Really, you were only adding a couple of unit ventilators to it is all >> and but that chiller was an alternate bid. >> It was not. Okay. >> It was something we just knew we weren't going to have the money to do. So, you're going to look at it the next time. Okay. >> So, the the generator emergency generator and fire alarm system we have um estimated cost. Is that an align alignment with the bids that we got or are we off? >> Well, the bids now what I did here in the numbers on the one on this screen. >> Yeah. Or different than this one. >> Is I took I took the actual bids and I inflated them some. >> Okay. >> You know, so this is reality right here.
Okay, that was like I I couldn't recall what the cut off was for those refusals. >> What is their initial response to? >> Each deadline's a month, right? So respons. So, it sounds like after your decision today, you're having a board meeting and you would be able to tell us more about where you're at with the current request and things like that. Yes. >> Yeah. I mean, that's the goal. We have a special meeting planned for tonight. >> Thank you. Boards are kind of frustrating that way. >> We couldn't all be here because then we can't all be together having a conversation. I do appreciate you taking the time and energy. I'm sure it was difficult to come up with this plan in a short period of time, but I know for me at least it gives me much ease knowing that the plan is a little more dialed in and established.
And so in light of that, if it's embedded already is I think preferable, but I hate to come back a couple years now and people say, you know, we're spending so much time in all these trainings and stuff. So >> yeah, >> thank you for recognizing the amount of trainings that we have. Um, >> the training is good, but we also need them in the classroom. >> Yes, correct. >> Um, can we can we get back to you on that? >> Okay. What? >> Yes. >> Hi. Hi. Elizabeth Tigashi from the Department of Education. One of the things right now is we're evaluating existing trainings that our teachers are already going through that have deescalation techniques being in there that maybe perhaps are targeting EA security and special education teachers. So, we're evaluating a matrix of what is existing and then what are other opportunities for other um employees because we don't want to do a repetition and minimize the impact of the training.
Cor [snorts] 21. >> The word is imitation. >> Ivitation. I N I T A T I. 17. The word is receptionist. >> Receptionist. R E C E T I O N S Tur Okay. >> 21. >> The word is plausible. >> Plausible. P L A U S I B L E. Plausible. Okay. Yeah. [applause] Spellers, we are proud of all of you. We know how hard you worked over the past couple of weeks. Even at lunchtime, you did a great job and we are very, very proud of everyone. All right. So, let's present our trophies. Okay. Third place goes to Luca. Congratulations. [applause] Second place goes to Lorenzo. [applause] And our first place winner and representative at the big spelling be that soon to be held at Burden Community College is Isaac. [applause] She got the pictures. All right. >> [clears throat] >> to say thank you.
>> Okay. >> The one's up here. >> Yes. >> Yeah. I wrote them down. >> Yeah. They're they're this on the screen or something. Give us we get done. >> So fire 170. >> Yeah. The chiller stayed the same. >> Well, the chiller we never bid. So, >> I didn't adjust anything else. That's only those two. >> And the generator, >> you know, once this is the way this should go, you should consider these numbers order of magnitude numbers even rather than a conceptual budget. >> So, to to help you get your start on your decision- making process and once we say, "All right, we know the order of magnitude what we're dealing with. Now we can decide how big our project's going to be and what what we're going to capture in it and then we'll go and hit a budget hard on that.
So, thank you. >> We appreciate you guys giving us this opportunity. back. It's been exciting and I had lots of convers taking all of my phone calls. >> I do have Madam President. Thank you. One more comment. Um, of all of our charters, Blue Oak is the one that is most significantly offering a significantly different experience than any of our other charters. And that has been evident from the beginning. I was involved in that first approval and I still believe that Blue Oak gives the community an opportunity um for their kids that we don't offer any other place. And that to me is what is the importance of charters. So I'm I'm happy to approve this and if it works I'm thrilled. I you know, I wish you a lot of success. Um, my grandkids experienced Blue Oak, so I I'm I'm glad that you were successful in pulling things together to get to this point.
So, we're looking at what are different options that we can provide for employees. >> Well, good. Yeah. I We appreciate you doing that so it becomes more efficient and that's why we want to make sure that this training is embedded in what you folks are doing and not a whole separate other one. >> Correct. That's something that we definitely wanted to take into account the impact to our employees prioritizing instruction. >> Right. Because hopefully this is not something that's going to happen on a regular basis, but when it does happen, we want to make sure that people know how to address it and so forth. >> Yes. Right. Yes. >> Okay. Good. Um um who does the training? >> Who who does the training? You folks have people. >> So we have our safety office who's coming up with the training right now and we're going to be prepared to once once the standard practice is approved by the unions and we agree on something uh we're going to roll out the training from there.
>> Okay. >> All right. >> Do we know and I know the principal aren't here but um like the Ottoman fire alarm. What is the situation with that? Does anybody know? >> It was it was uh as I remember tenuous is why we wanted to get it in the project. It's life expectancy is 15 to 20 years. >> Okay. So >> that's the way I recall that >> that came that came through the MEP, right? >> It's on there. Yes, it is on that report. And we talked about that conversation was okay, it's in a report as a well, it's >> nearing the end of what we expect to see be continue to be functional. >> But then there's always the conversation and it's been a year, right? Or whatever it's been is, okay, that being the case, do we are we having enough issues with it to think of it as a as our cake or is it really serving us well?
And and again, you know, Blue is offers the the Waldorf that isn't any place else. Anyone [snorts] would like to make a motion at this time? >> Sure. I would like to move that we approve application. >> Any further discussion? >> Can I offer a friendly amendment the amount of what we're approving is um recorded in that motion. >> Sure. Absolutely. That's right. So, the motion then is that we approve Blue Oats application as presented for 1 million 1,000 from the rece. Let's go ahead and vote at this time. >> Robinson I >> do I >> is a very short meeting. Is there perhaps a motion to adjourn at this time? >> I said move. >> Second. Do we need to discuss that? All right, let's go ahead and vote. We'll just do it all together. All those in favorose. We are adjourned.
>> Okay. The training is for on and off campus. >> Just on campus. >> Yeah. >> So about training that happen I mean harassment or threats that happen off campus. It's not on school property, but near nearby on the way. >> So, we wouldn't extend our jurisdiction off campus unless it was at a school event that was at another site. [clears throat] >> Yeah. >> And then the police would have to get the police would be the one you would contact. >> Yes. >> Chair, do you have any question? >> Question. >> Sure. >> Yeah. just to um to go into the training because I just met with some HSTA members and they're saying that when you provide training or when you say they have to go through training um they're they have to take it out of their own pocket for training. So is this if you're requiring the training are you folks paying for it and you're giving them time off or how are you going to be doing this training when you say you're going to train everybody?
Those that would have happened before we would have bid it, you know. >> Yeah. So, we decided at that time it needed to be done. >> And I'm can't remember every conversation, but I'm sure that's how it went. >> And I don't I don't recall either. >> Yeah. This the median service life for air cooled chiller is 20 25 years and this unit has reached that point. This was last year. >> Yeah. [laughter] Right. And again, I just you know when I see look scan through the things when I see a chiller at those ages, I think That's risk. >> It's like my dryer. >> Mine, too. >> It just went out. Kyle was in Vegas for a work conference. I'm like, I hope you I hope you did good cuz we need to buy a car. [laughter] [clears throat] >> Other things are, you know, we need to that we're on here.
I'm just um wanting to be sure that you're not putting another thing on teachers without giving them >> either time off or paying for the training. >> Correct. And that adds to Senator Kim's concern about the amount of training. So, this would be part of their workday. >> Yeah. It would be embedded in the whatever trainings they have already. >> Yeah. >> It would probably be at a a faculty meeting or opening of the school year for everybody. >> Okay. Any [clears throat] other questions, members? No. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. We'll move on to the next uh agenda item, Senate Bill 2872. This is relating to retired uh education employees. Requires uh rehiring of teachers for retirees for teachers or administrators in shortage areas or in difficult to fill positions to be paid the entry level salary for the teacher or administrator position as negotiated in the collective bargaining unit contract.
