001Welcome back. Next on the agenda, excuse me, we have community input. Is there anyone here that would like to All right, community input. We have the um binder. Excuse me, the um sheet. She's good to go. All right, let me give you my rundown real quick. It's going to be about five minutes. Welcome to this meeting of the Shabban Area School District Board of Education. We are pleased that you are interested in educational issues. We are interested in your comments and concerns about the school district that will be a part of this meeting for community input. Individuals who live or work within the Shabboan area school district may address the board. Others may address the board at the discretion of the board president. In order this meeting to flow smoothly, we would appreciate that the
002following guidelines be followed by anyone wishing to address the board of education this evening. One, please limit comments and suggestions to three minutes or less because we have a full agenda to follow. And number two, comments and suggestions of the school district are welcome. Personal criticism of members of the of the board of education or employees of the district, excuse me, school district is out of order. If you're a resident with the the Shabboan area school district or work within the area community, you like to be recognized, please raise your hand. After being recognized, please stand and clearly state your name and spell your name and address for the record. Also, for the record, please sign your name and address on the clipboard after you have spoken. The board normally receives citizen input and does
003not respond or debate. If there is a need for an answer or response to a concern or issue, the superintendent or one of the administrative staff members will get back to you within the next week. Thank you. Thank you. Um, Penny Abser, PhD, uh, 2831 Avenue, Shboan, Wisconsin. Um, I'm a proud employee of the Shuan Area School District and a teacher with a 30-year career. I'm speaking to you tonight as an individual because you are to be given an update on the proposed preliminary budget. Um, and I ask all members of this school board to explore and to ask questions about the issue of fair pay or our certified staff as you review and consider budget documents. First, I need to acknowledge what we all know, which is one of the biggest obstacles to any
004meaningful discussion that involves funding is the unfair and unreasonable funding model for public education that comes from the state level. I've chosen to take action on that state budget in a lot of ways. But my key message to you tonight is that our district's balanced budget should not be achieved through the sacrifices either given by or demanded of our school staff. Many of us knew when we entered the profession that we would never be wealthy, but we hope to earn a living wage by doing just the one job that we loved. The teacher pay penalty is real. Teachers earn significantly less than other college educated workers with the same level of education. The Economic Policy Institute reports that in 2023, teachers earned 76 cents on the dollar earned by similarly educated professionals. And that teacher
005pay penalty is at its highest since the data started being tracked in 1996 when my career was just starting when teachers are 94 cents on the dollar to their similarly educated peers. I will be sending board members a more detailed description of what makes the certified staff compensation model unfair, unequitable, and broken. Here are some lowlights in no particular order. It is patently unfair and ironic that a profession that strives to inspire lifelong learning in the next generations. Lifelong learning is not recognized in the form of compensation by the SASD. The current pay model does not offer a clear path to pay increases that are within the control of the professional educator. The different pay groups in the district receive their compensation increases differently. the current practice of the SASD in putting money into attracting
006staff at the expense of its loyal staff and the number of certified staff who need to work other jobs is alarming but in line with national statistics that report that 40% of prek through 12th teachers hold more than one job. I reiterate that sharing concerns about the payscale model and its serious deficiencies and being proud of working in the Shboen area school district can coexist. Two things can be true at once. It is time to have the difficult but crucial conversations about building or rebuilding a pay model that offers fair pay at all stages of an educator's career through the recognition of expertise, loyalty, and professionalism. Thank you. Is there anyone else? All right. Next, we have the superintendence report. Dr. Conrad, thank you. We'll be brief uh in the interest of time, but there
007are so many great things going on uh toward the ends of the year as you know. So, um obviously a big thanks to all of our staff and all of our students who showed up tonight um either for their retirement or for their awards. just an amazing uh tribute to them and what they provided to our district. Uh celebration from ACT scores. So we have two students, William Tarowski and Alejandra Garza Hernandez. Both score a perfect 36 on the ACT. Uh I think it's less than 210 of a percent of students that do that nationwide. So an amazing um feat by those two students. Uh we had 285 juniors score above the average the state average of 19, 83 students over 25 and 21 students over 30. So some uh pretty remarkable students walking around
008our halls. Um fifth grade presidential award was I think May 1st. Um and that was a great a great night as well. 103 students. Um fifth graders were recognized. Really a fun night. It's obviously the first night I've done that. Um and just the energy in the room, the excitement from the kid in the f kids and the family was really really great. So um that was a fun night for us. Um South High School League of Legends esport team won the state title. Um so we got another state title from an esport team which is really cool. Um and those kids do do neat things. It's kind of a a new and upcoming um sport. So it's been fun to watch that grow in our district. Uh, as Denise knows, ribbon cutting at Big
009Brothers and Big Sisters. So, that was a fun event for us to, uh, attend and we're really excited for them, uh, obviously because of what they they provide for our students. So, um, excited to see their continued growth and service to our students. Um, Legally Blonde was phenomenal. I saw Peter there. I saw Heidi there. Um, really really good good play nice job by the theater company. Um and obviously we work with the PD often. So to see Kurt Zumble as police chief and also as Professor Kelly and I think it was um was pretty great. So I told him I'd give him a shout out at a board meeting. So great work all around. um construction project open house Monday, June 2nd, 4 to 6:00 p.m. when you come here, if you drive um
010by that house, you get a peek at it frequently, I I would imagine, and it's coming together really nice. Uh we stopped stopped there about a week or two ago. Um kids were putting up the siding. Uh really fun just to talk to the students, all that they've learned and uh the hours that they've put into it. So, if you're available June 2nd from 4 to 6, stop out, let Jenny know that you plan to attend and uh you can see the house and learn a little more about it. Scholarship nights, we hit uh three large ones. We hit the South, North, and SPF. And I would imagine we gave away over $3 million. The totals aren't in yet. Um but we don't take that for granted. This community is just amazing in its support
011of students. to give away over $3 million is just nothing short of amazing. Um, and then I attended an Elks night, uh, which was a smaller event for our student athletes, but more scholarship money given away there. It's just amazing, uh, what our community does. So, we're very appreciative of that. And last, but not least, um, Sunday, June 8th, 1 PM, graduation at the bowl. So, we are very, very hopeful that the rain stays away and gives us a window to to get graduation in on the 8th at the bowl. Um, and obviously a great tradition for seven about 730 students I think is all we have right now. So excited for graduation. That's all I have tonight. Thank you, Dr. Conrad. Next, we have the update on the middle school recruitment projects. Mark Doi,
012Dr. Conrad, Nate Considine. Did I say that correct? Kasanine, my apologies. Um, Matt washes just a second. You want to drive? Sure. I want to I'll start just by thanking Nate and Matt um and our team for all the work that's gone into this. Um we did so much uh to get to this point from even just a referendum vote standpoint. Um the amount of hours that everyone put in, the amount of work that everyone put in was nothing short of amazing and and I think was reflected in the 65% approval rating which we were uh really really happy with on obviously on on the referendum vote. Um, since then the work has been, I would say, just as much, if not more, uh, which is is what you know you're getting yourself into, but
013you are very excited to get into that work because of what it means for our community and for our students. So, um, Nate and Matt, Kasha, CB Smith, and Brave have just been great partners in all this. We meet um, frequently every other week as a kind of as a district team, and then Bray has been up here meeting with all what we call our user groups. So, uh, meeting with all our staff. So, they'll meet with the PE teachers, they'll meet with the library. Um, they'll meet with the core teachers, etc., and get their feedback to make sure that, um, what we're doing makes sense. So, that that's been really important to us as well. We know we can't please every single individual. U, but we certainly want to hear everyone's opinion and their
014voice um, so that we can we can do everything that we can to make these schools great for our kids. So Nate's going to kind of walk us through uh the presentation tonight, the work that's been done, where we're at. Matt will touch briefly on budget at the end, and if you have any questions during the presentation, please stop us and feel free to ask. Awesome. Thank you, Jake. So, yeah, just a quick few points here. Uh we are excited to show some preliminary renderings of the buildings as well and just a quick update on plans as they have changed uh just ever so slightly since referendum. So, um, this was a schedule, uh, briefly shown at the end, uh, or shortly there after the referendum. Uh, so that vertical dash line in purple is
015about where we stand today. You can see that the design and engineering portion. We're almost about halfway through uh, that design and engineering piece of things. Uh, so uh, tonight is a a fun and exciting spot to be able to see updates on floor plans, be able to see exterior renderings. We're not quite uh to interior design yet. That will kind of occur over the next few months. And then we'll ultimately be ready for bidding early in 2026. Um with construction starting in the spring uh you know anywhere from from March to June of 2026. Um as as communicated uh during the referendum period um these projects uh do have a long uh construction duration anywhere from 2 to three years. And as the design uh continues to roll out, that design or that construction
016duration will tighten um as far as what we expect to impact with staff and your families. So, um a question from on that last timeline. Yeah. Does it look like Farnsworth will be done completely before there'll be overlap with construction between Farnsworth and Urban? Right. Correct. Yeah. So preliminarily as when we passed referendum, the thought was is that construction would start in the uh spring of 2026. The Farnsworth project being a little simpler in nature uh would be about an 18-month construction duration. However, with the tear down of the existing building and then re renovation of the current lot would trickle on quite a bit further. Um but as far as like student occupied space, that would be a shorter duration. whereas urban because of the complexities of working in and around the existing building
017um has the the opportunity uh to be a longer construction duration. Thank you. So just as a quick recap um some of the initial steps right away when we got out um of the gate in November a land survey was completed um geotechnical study uh so that would be putting uh vertical borings in the ground to understand soil conditions for building uh footing foundations as well as pavement design. Um as a core planning team as we've been um calling uh this design group uh went on several building tours. Uh so there's four buildings that were toured. Uh that happened both at the core planning team level with a smaller group of about 15. And then we also had the opportunity to take many staff members from both Urban and Farnsworth uh to a couple of
018these projects to see other recently completed construction projects. So Vel Phillips and Oshkosh, Kiwasum, Shbboan Falls, and Mosqual Lakes. The goal was to say that we're not duplicating any of those projects, but hoping to understand what lessons were learned, what things we could do, what things we don't want to do, and simply just take in information. Um, as Jake touched on, we did, um, have staff engagement. Uh, so, uh, we actually just finished our third round last week with staff. Um, and felt like it was very crucial that we ga engage your staff and your users. um from really January, you know, anywhere. We started tried to get ready in January, February, and we wanted to be wrapped up by the time school is out because if we're asking for engagement in August, it's going
019to be too late in the con in the design process to ask for that engagement. So, we asked for it early and part of that engagement was also a staff survey. Um so, sent out a couple of staff surveys to make sure that we were trying to get as much input as possible. So, uh, the next part then would be on the floor plan side of things. So, for the most part, the plans look very similar in nature. So, this is the Farnsworth plan. Um, the, uh, southern portion, uh, right down in this area. I'm not sure how well it's going to show, but is still the core academic area for social studies, ELA, math, um, with science being in the middle. Uh then we have teched kind of hugged in the middle of the
020overall floor plan and then um basically the music spaces just south of the gym, office space to the right and then the cafeteria in the upper right hand corner. For the most part, this is the plan that was shown um you know as far as big picture organization during the referendum uh planning. But as we, you know, went through space planning and talked through amenities needed for each space, the floor plan didn't shift in overall shape, uh, just slightly. If we go up to the second and third floors, second floor on your right, third floor on your left, uh, still planning a three-story building. The goal is that the core academic areas such as math, ELA, um, and, uh, social studies, sorry, uh, would all basically stack on top of each other. So there's three
021almost identical floor plans to create some equity between the building, equity between grade grade grade levels as we found a lot of success if you were to have say sixth grade on one floor, seventh grade on a second or on a a separate floor and third on its own floor. That way you don't you know you don't have cross traffic of having an eighth grader where a sixth grader is and so forth. That cross traffic will have happen elsewhere in the building but in the academic core learning areas we try to create separate spaces for each grade level. On the second floor on the right, you'll see art space in the middle, world language, um library, maker space, health, and then on the third floor, uh you're seeing uh the uh FCS classroom as well
022as some ELLL spaces uh on the third floor. Just want to point out real quickly, you're seeing a huge difference, right, from what what our normal schools would look like today as far as where you see that resource team B res uh open space, right? That's just a hallway right now in any of our schools. So, what the biggest thing is they kind of take these pods or these wings and they they open them up quite a bit. There's a common workspace in the middle for students to collaborate uh either within a class or with multiple classes. Um and they got some tech lab space etc in there. But it's a really kind of I guess I'd say warm inviting space for kids to feel comfortable and it kind of just creates that team atmosphere
023on a wing of a building. So, that's probably the the biggest difference I think I noticed is walking through all these different buildings um is just how they they've changed the design from that standpoint. Are the the room designations pretty well set at this point? So, the room designations as far as um some of the specialty classrooms are pretty well set. However, I would say like when you think about the bottom third of the plan where you're seeing math, ELA, social studies, crosscat, those are all designed as the same room. Um, so those are a bit more interchangeable for, you know, a flex year where you may need a third of something or something along those lines. Those those classrooms are more interchangeable. Is there just one library? Correct. What were the initials on the
024third floor? What were the initial? You went through some initials pretty fast. Oh, sorry. Uh, so social studies, ELA, which is English learners on the third floor. Yeah, on third floor. And then the specialty ones would be ELLL. Uh, so that would also be English learners um as well. That was the only one. I mean that it was basically that and then the um FCS I probably said. So that's family and consumer science. I apologize. Okay, that's sorry. At Urban uh the overall floor plan idea looks very similar. Um, so, uh, although the the shape of the building has changed ever so slightly, um, it's a little hard to see on the first floor, but basically we're keeping that, uh, I'll call it that historical three three-phase facade that faces North Avenue. Um, we're keeping
025the gymnasiums and the threetory building as well as the library that is within it. Uh, then if we start in the bottom left, that is going to be where your music suite is. Then music transitions to teched. techad transitions to your main entry which you'll see a rendering of where the main office is. And then as you work your way around the top um the top would include the two areas um you know for English uh math, social studies and science. Um here it's a little less vertical and they're more horizontal in nature of how they work together. And then the yellow and the upper right would be the cafeteria, the kitchen, the receiving area. And the library is planned to remain in the same spot. Um, some of the colors that you're seeing on
026the plan is where light blue in the existing building is is basically we're not really moving walls. So the corridors are for the mo most part staying where they are. There's a couple of classrooms that are staying where they are, but then you can see the rest of that existing building. is dark blue. And it's dark blue because we're basically going in behind the corridor and gutting everything and relaying things out. Um so you're seeing new bathrooms, you're seeing new special education spaces, you're seeing um new legacy rooms, teacher prep rooms, um and so forth. Um as well as uh if anyone has been in the original gym at the uh urban site, uh we'll be taking down the interior vestibule to be making um a full-size gym available in that space. So the old
027concrete bleachers in there are going to come out. That'll become a full-size gym and then a fitness room to the bottom side of that new uh fullsize gym. From security standpoint, most entrance is going to be on the west side of the building. Now, will the old original entrance will that just be kind of a facade? You're really not going to be having Yes. coming in and out of there. Correct. Um, so there are a couple of unique kind of uh programs uh within the building that do desire their own separate entrance. Um, and so we'll be still utilizing that portion as an entrance, but from a guest or visitor um or student entry, uh, that that entry really wouldn't be used all that often. Okay. Thank you. especially from a guest perspective. Do you
028also see on both of these is a really u obviously a nice opportunity where can you just go back to that previous slide real quickly where we can both at Farnsworth and at Urban where we can kind of cordon off part of the building. So your cafeteria is on the top right of that screen um your two basketball courts etc. But you can you know you can lock that side of the building off for weekends if you want to host events. Uh there'll be a shared parking lot right there that um is right between north and urban right now. There's obviously gym space is always at a premium, etc. So, um, a lot of functionality with these buildings, too, kind of as we think about how the community wants to use them on weekends and
029direct department and all that good stuff. So, um, adds to a lot of safety there, too. Absolutely. As we go up to the second and third floors, again, second floor is on your right, third floor is on your left. Um, when we take down I would say twothirds to threequarters of the auditorium, we are going to be making that upper platform of the auditorium, current auditorium into a mechanical room. So that's kind of the light you see sticking down. Otherwise, you have art, um, a few other special education spaces in the renovation. on the second floor um some some classrooms that start to trickle up the right side including health and then you're seeing that core academic piece with mass math social studies science and English up in the yellow and then on third floor
030same solution so um again we're seeing uh math social studies science English learners and then we're also seeing FCS or family and consumer science on the third floor um inside the existing building at Urban middle school as well. So, as we were designing these two buildings in parallel, it was really important to the entire team that there's consistency between the buildings and how we're approaching um them. However, we acknowledge that the existing building that we're working with is different, right? So, the equity in how the buildings are accessed, how they are accessed by students um want to remain the same of creating same opportunities on first, second, and third floors. um but how you know the the layout of them is just slightly different considering this site. So probably the most exciting part of tonight
031is starting to look at some preliminary renderings. Uh so we're going to start with Farnsworth. Uh the initial conversation at Farnsworth Middle School is that because we're really only saving the gym and the locker room area is that we do have an opportunity uh to potentially uh look into like a 21st century design and kind of stray away from the the historical design that maybe has been on that site. Urban you're going to see or maybe if you looked ahead in your board packet is is trying to acknowledge and and pay homage to that to that existing building that wants to remain. But given that we're just saving the 90s, Jim felt like we have the opportunity to create something new at the Farnsworth site. So the core planning team was excited by some of
032these renderings. Um we're eager for your feedback tonight and we will be have feedback um next week through the community as well. But this rendering here would be showing the east facade of Farnsworth where the main glassy volume that you're seeing immediately to the right of the image next to the Panther uh would be the cafeteria space. Uh just left of the Panther would be the main entry into Farnsworth. Then you'd basically be seeing the admin area on the first floor. The red box on top of the admin is the library. And then you're seeing the threetory core academic with that math, social studies, etc. that was stacking on top of each other further on down the image. So as we go through renderings um tonight, we're going to start on the east side and
033kind of work our way south and then down to the west side. So, just another image of showing kind of that stepped nature of the cafeteria being single story, that admin uh library in the middle, and then the threetory down in the south. Here's another shot at that cafeteria. Looking for some northern exposure on that as well and revitalizing um you know, the existing gym side, which is kind of down by where the mouse uh pointer is on the north side of Farnsworth. Um, so when we detach uh the existing building from the gym, we will be recladding. Always was planned to recclad the gym because that's now a new exterior wall which is an interior wall. Another shot at the cafeteria. Um, here's a shot at the southeast corner uh which would be that
034threetory academic uh area. This is looking from the southeast corner towards the north. Uh so uh there is as if you have been to Farnsworth there is quite a bit of grading that we have to work with. There's approximately 3 to 5 feet of drop from the first floor down to the street. So we're accommodating that with one ramp that no one will really feel inside the existing inside the new building. And then there will be a small um kind of topograph like not a hill, right? But a small slope from the sidewalk to the building. So this is basically a true south view. Um so if we look at this uh you're going to see uh kind of the vertical section on the right and the left would be that social studies, math, etc.
035And then in the back kind of in the pocket of this building would be the science classrooms and how those stack up. Do any of these windows open? Uh in new buildings including these, we're not planning on operable windows. It was a discussion. Um we did have a discussion around that. The the trouble can be is that um with air conditioning and heating if a window is left open suddenly the HVAC system is trying to fight you know fresh air that is coming in that was maybe unintentionally left open for a period of time without anyone knowing. So, I mean there's more to that conversation, but I would say that was probably the biggest point of conversation to why the decision decision was to not do operable windows. I just speaking only for myself, I
036think fresh air is important to learn. I think these buildings, even though they're air conditioned, the air gets really stale. Okay. And in middle school, it doesn't always smell the best. Yeah. So, let's be honest. Um, you know, so I I think having nothing that opens is for me being problematic, but there's a requirement for exchanges, right? Yes, correct. I was just going to respond with that. So the new code does require um fresh air intake and exchanges as part of the new mechanical code. Uh so along with conditioning your building, um we will be providing fresh air intake to the system where you're not just recycling the same air throughout and throughout. So, I I don't want to tell you an inaccurate number, but it's going to take in fresh air every hour and
037repurpose that into into your building. How does that compare with what's I mean, I know that Horseman is a much much older building. Did they they didn't have that code? Uh, Horseman was built in it was built in what? Yes, I remember the smell. 19 1968 I think is when Horus man was built. Yeah, this was a code introduced in the early 2000s. So this is this is a much more enhanced uh solution. Thank you. Yep. Then as we um continue our tre kind of around the building uh you'll see that this would be the southwest corner of Farnsworth and um you can start to see that same articulation on the facade. And then as we head up towards the the gym entry, you're seeing another panther kind of pop out um at the gym
038entry down the street. So with that, I think we then ship uh actually we have one more. So this just a little bit further up the street um with the gym entry uh just past the bike racks. Is that a real solid red like down between Smith and Beret Architect or is it the peachy color that we're seeing? Um, yeah. So, the sun and the renderings don't do a perfect solution. It is a red. It's not peachy. Okay. Yeah. The other thing you don't see in here is kind of the what we'll do with the green space. So, it's a kids will come off in the cafeteria. They'll have a um landscape area for basketball, volleyball, um where they can play a little bit. There's room to add on possibly for some community partnerships if
039need be. And then after that's a we're going to turf it with uh U8 soccer field, right? I think it's U10. Um and I in the meeting I have him call over to Chris Hine and just say, "Is that beneficial to you at South High?" He said, "Yeah, even if it's U10, if if our can get on that when the fields are flooded. That's really helpful. U so we're feeling good about that as well. How how does when this is all done, how does the outside green space and hard surface space compared to what they have now? It will be slightly smaller. Um just you're not going as vertical. Uh we're going the same three stories as the existing building. Um but we are parts I'm sorry in some parts not. Oh sure. Right. Right.
040Um yeah so uh to your point with the gym being a single story cafeteria being a single story uh and with the setbacks required by the city we are losing a little bit of green space but that's why the intentionality as Dr. Conrad stated about the turf being a space where with the few months that we're able to use the outdoor space, it doesn't turn to a mud pit. That the turf would be a space that they can use I mean hopefully 9 10 months a year. Thank you. Yep. So shifting over to urban. Um urban wanted to start with a familiar rendering. Hopefully uh this would obviously be the North Avenue view. Uh and the most One of the exciting parts, at least for us, is being able to restore the existing windows on
041the facility. Uh so, as you're seeing here, we're keeping um that entry, which is by the current auditorium. You're seeing that pitched roof there. And then to the front of that would be the music suite as it comes out. Um you're seeing the kind of the tower in the middle uh with all the new windows placed back in. And that same treatment would apply uh to uh the current gym spaces by putting the new windows in those um old openings as well. Uh so hopefully exciting seeing that come back to life. It is so exciting seeing that come back to life. When I think about the referendum meetings that happened last spring, um, one of the things that neighbors consistently said was, "We want the we want the school building to be preserved. We want
042it to match the existing neighborhood. This does that justice. This is great to see." Awesome. So, um, a little bit different from Farnsworth, right, where we really wanted to pay homage to the existing, uh, facility. And so, we're trying to tie that all the way around the building. Um, there are some pieces that are trying to, um, bring some new life, uh, to the existing building um, with some colored metal panel accents. Um, you'll see on the on the music suite, there's some green metal panel kind of between the windows. uh we try to think of, you know, as copper oxidizes, it turns to a patina color. Uh so we we're trying to think about these green metal panels as kind of a patina panel, right? As if maybe it was a copper on the
043original building that has taken um that oxidation over the years and it's going to fit right back in with the original building. So, uh as we then look, this is just a closeup of the music suite. Um, as we're designing middle school and high school music suites, they are a taller volume. Um, however, wanting to tie this again back to the original architecture as well. As we shift around to the southwest side, you're starting to see that shift between music, um, teched, and then we're going to go to our next rendering, which is the main entry. Uh, so that is a bit of a challenging feat when you think about all the infrastructure that teched needs, uh, in the space as far as a dust collector and things like that. So that's why you're seeing
044that green patina fencing trying to mask a potential dust collector um as we have a few different fronts um on this listing building. So um this next uh image would be the main entry off the west side of Urban Middle School. Again, trying to create a bit of a focal piece um with some balance on either side and that green patina metal panel um bringing through with some um cast stone that um reflects uh the existing stone on the ex on on the building on the original building as well. As we shift around, um this would then you can kind of start to see on the far right rendering the canopy on the west side. So, we're standing more or less in the uh northwest corner looking south uh southeast. You can see the threetory
045academic um with those again patina vertical metal panels um some stone vertical accents and that kind of rhythmatic uh art deco feel that the original building does have. Uh so this would be a very common view uh headed to the north um athletic complex as well. Uh the next rendering would then show uh basically kind of right in the middle of of the plan. So this shows the rest of that academic rendering kind of that verticality, the patina metal panel, and then you're starting to see uh to the left um the the cafeteria, which would be in our next image. Uh so we kind of round out uh this this north side with uh the cafeteria as Jake mentioned being um I'm kind of thinking it of it as the portal that connects urban to
046north right and this new parking lot that'll be there and having this be kind of a community entry community access through the cafeteria space. So I'm excited about what that cafeteria space can bring. Um, I guess we did have, sorry, one more rendering uh just bringing a little bit of playfulness uh to the side of the cafeteria um with a potential uh night logo on the side of the building. And then you're starting to see uh the '9s gym um kind of in the far left portion of the rendering. Um and then last uh rendering I believe would be is I just wanted to show a closeup of the current entry. So trying to maintain um some of its original intent. Uh we are there are no current ramps at that entry. So we're building
047in a couple of ramps uh so that if there is a student that needs to access that part of building that that would be ADA accessible. So, as we look ahead, um we are having community information and feedback sessions, uh next week, uh Tuesday, um at both Farnsworth and uh Urban Middle School. The Farnsworth site will be at 5:30 p.m. and then the Urban Middle School site at 7 p.m. Um the slides would probably look very similar to tonight. We're still finalizing those uh but wanting to get some initial feedback from our communities. Um some other looking ahead moments. Um we are looking at sustainability. Um just looking at a few different layers of this. So uh we always are designing buildings with sustainability in mind. So when it comes to wall insulation, roof insulation,
048our values on glass, all of that information, building science really, right? Of how can we be costefficient with our structures? How can we be um cost uh proactive for you as community members, you as taxpayers uh so that you're not paying for outrageous energy um usage down the road. Some other pieces that we're also studying um in these next couple of months is geothermal solutions and solar. Uh so we have um explored with a couple of different consultants geothermal. So what they would uh plan to do is do one test bore at each site uh to go down approximately 400 to 600 feet um in depth and understand what kind of conductivity your sites have. Um there's no commitment at this point in time whether or not um you know the board or the school
049district um wants to proceed uh with geothermal as um that's obviously an expense. uh but obviously is um a great solution if the site allows for it. Um on the same side of things, we are also going through a layout test and uh conductivity uh solution test with um Alliant Energy or WPS I apologize on the online it' be all yeah so uh to understand what the payback would be on solar for these buildings as well. So again, no commitment to geothermal or solar at this time, but studying is being done to make sure that we are um looking into any sustainability options for these two buildings. Um also in the very very near future um you've seen exterior. Now we're shifting our focus to interior. We'll obviously make iterations and the exterior designs will
050slightly tweak, but we're really looking forward to getting into the interior of these spaces and being able to bring back more renderings to the board of what some of the interior spaces of these buildings will start to look like. We've already engaged with the city city of Shboen um and continue to do that in coordination to make sure that these plans are on the right pace to start construction next spring. And um again, plans uh will be completed January 2026. So Matt, I I apologize I didn't have a bullet point there, but anything you wanted to touch on from the budgeting perspective as obviously we have to make sure that we stay within budget. If we talking too much, just let me know. So it's free, right? It's all free now. Absolutely. Uh uh Bray
051has done most of the heavy lifting so far and they've done a really nice job putting the plans together. Uh we've been working the Quasha Smith team very closely on the phasing of the project. So for um urban is as most people would probably guess more challenging as far as a phasing schedule goes uh and and budgeting right. So we we just finished our schematic design budget last week and we say we're in a comfortable spot. We are slightly over budget which is not unusual at this point in time and there there's lots of things uh that we're evaluating as we go including you know geothermal the phasing. Uh there's a lot more detail that needs to go into the plan. So, we're feeling very good about where we are at this point in the
052process. And uh you just want like one thing to know, you know, Farnsworth, for example, the floor plan has grown a little bit uh from the original referendum size. So, we have about 10,000 square feet more and that we're looking to skinny that up if we can to to bring this cost back in line. Uh and we think we can do that in a way that won't be impacting the program at all posses. So, so overall we're we're in a very good spot. Uh, one of the goals that we've tried to establish for urban is uh to see if we can reduce the phasing schedule from a three-phase project to two phases which would get students into the classroom earlier and we're exploring an option on that right now. We feel we've got a pretty
053good pathway to likely make that happen. Um, I guess one other thing I'll touch on is that the geothermal conversation and we as we're exploring that, I think it it's important that these are challenging sites to uh do geothermal and if it works great, we're all for that. But there's not a lot of room on either site to put a lot of geothermal wells. So, that's going to be one of the considerations. We'll need to evaluate how that impacts the construction schedule and budget as well. Part of that, right, is the test board would really tell us at conductivity at 400 feet or at 600 feet or what depth do we have conductivity and then that'll really give us whether or not, you know, we can even entertain, you know, that option with the um
054Ashkosh, Kiwas Falls, Mosquo Lakes, did any of those um new builds have geothermal? Uh none of those specific middle schools had geothermal. Um but uh there have been at least two new high schools built in the last two or three years that have had geothermal. Um and there's a new middle school in Manasha right now that is uh going after net zero. Um which uh to achieve net zero requires both geothermal, solar and and more to go after that net zero piece. So um Manasha Middle School to my knowledge will be the first middle school in the state to have geo or sorry to kind of go after that net zero solution. remember the the competing interest there too as far as communities saying don't move urban for sustainability purposes because we don't want kids
055to have to drive rather than bike etc. But now we're on that same site and geothermal is really hard. So uh these guys are all sick of me pushing geothermal. Uh, and Matt says um, and we continue to look into it, but I don't want to give any false hopes. We're we're we are looking into it. Uh, and no one can deny that. And we're putting our money where our mouth is there to see if it can work. Um, but given that we had to stay on the two sites that that we did, it's going to be really challenging. and you start to get into conversations like well can you put the test can you put the borings underneath Farnsworth and the answer was yeah maybe but it's never been done before and that's a
056correct that's a place you don't like to be right um so we'll keep bringing that back to you it's really important that we're clear and upfront with our community just about what that looks like what we're able to do what we're not able to do what the feasibility study says We'll go from there. We finally found out what you can do with the polar site. The geo geotherm bring it over overhead. I want to drill there. Good idea. Okay. So, you did do you haven't done the geothermal borings, but you did other soil borings already, correct? And those all came back clean and fine. Uh we're still waiting on the final report, but the preliminary report did not uh alert anything un suspicious because we've had some surprises. Those look for two different things. Yeah.
057Okay. So, it's not going to be like we found at what was the elementary school north too? Well, poor soils or finding buried treasures. North and South were both built on less than premium property. Sure. One was a landfill and one was a swamp. So, Anything's going to be better than that. The borings were completed early May, so we should be seeing the full report here in the first couple weeks of June. Um, but I have not been alerted by the geotechnical company who did those borings which would find the bad soils or the buried washer and dryer, right? Those sort of things. Um, there's been no no clue on those yet. And we have run into glass bottles, tires, washers, and dryers. We've seen it all. So, nothing like that has been alerted. And
058then for the urban site, I guess maybe I'm just maybe I'm too color focused, but that green reminds me so much of the green we had at Wilson that we just took out because it really dated the property. It's coming back. Avocado green might come back, too. But it's I mean, I was really pushing Patina, so you're kind of you're killing me here. But Matt and I liked how it tied in with North because North has that same North has very similar color schemes that both Okay. Um, it's aesthetic. It I don't think it's going to look like copper. I think it's going to look like and industrial green. That's it'll look like north. Yeah. Okay. And then the budget. That's my biggest concern. How much how much wiggle room do we have? I mean,
05910,000 square feet sounds like a lot to me. What is your square foot approximate estimated cost per square foot? In estimated cost, we're between 350 and 375 a square foot right now. All right. So, how much? Do the quick math for me. How much is 10,000 square feet at that? I taught English. Seven million. Yeah, give or take. Yeah. Three to four million. Holy guacamole. Okay. I think we're very comfortable. We looked at the budget today. I think we're very comfortable that we have places where we can skinny up a little bit. As Nate said, it's not going to impact student learning. Um, and it'll get us right in line with where we need to be. So, and then how much did you factor in with the budget for the potential of your materials costing
060substantially more? So, we have a healthy contingency for design and for potential cost like 25 30%. Not that healthy. I mean, you think about the scale of this project, I think it's about 5%. And so, if you do 5% on 135, that's a pretty healthy number. Um but I don't want to speak too much for your question. Yeah, we're we're comfortable uh with we see uh prices of late uh you know so we have not seen knock would uh a lot of volatility in building costs and now no one has a crystal ball on what's going to happen over the next year with material pricing. Uh but one of the things we're doing as we develop the plans is the the budget is an iterative process as well. So we continue to update the budget
061as the design is built. So if we see something that is potentially bringing us over budget, we we'll look for options to bring to bring it back. And um right now we as we look at the renderings with them, the amount of brick, the amount of metal, the the the exact details, the amount of fluting of the masonry, uh you know, there are things that, you know, we can look at that can not have an impact on programming, but potentially impact the cost. And and that's why we're evaluating the geothermal right now. That's why we're looking at different phasing schedules. So, if we can shorten the duration of the project, that also saves money because that means we have people on site less time and that's that saves significant cost as well. Then back to
062the square footage conversation, 10,000 is a a very good target for us to be at to get back to where we were on the referendum square footage. Um, the budget was uh based off of what we call as a progress set of drawings. That was approximately four weeks ago. And so in that time, we've met with users twice since then. And just through the natural process of design meetings, the building's already 5,000 square feet as we sit here today without any shavings less. So we're halfway to that mark. Now to find the remaining 5,000 is just like where were the luxury where we gave an extra foot, where can we take six inches, right? And try to get back to um where that where that mark needs to be. So in the initial phase, that
063schematic design phase that we just completed, it's natural for staff to ask for, you know, kind of their their desires, right? Like that's going to be a natural piece. And we're going to by all means give the staff spaces that they need to to to teach in, to educate in, and students space for them to learn in. Right? And so we want to make sure that we're not as we make these small adjustments not sacrificing learning spaces. Um going back to like the original Gant chart, I know that the bids are still a ways out, but is prioritizing local labor a budget consideration in what it will take for us to maintain safety in our budget and coming in for those things that we don't know about. I mean, we're talking about swamps. I do
064recall a certain room in urban getting sweaty in the hot months because of the the humidity and where we're built on. So, I mean those types of things. Um I know I'm asking two questions, but at what point are we making decisions about budgetary considerations for the construction bids that we're putting out there and when will those be evaluated? So the we'll solicit subcontractor proposals probably in February. Plans are done in January and we'll do some work ahead of that to engage the local subcontractor community. We certainly want to encourage participation. Uh these are large projects and it's going to take a lot of work just to put a proposal together for them. Uh so we're going to do some work on the front end as we get closer to plan completion to solicit interest
065and give people uh heads up that these plans are these projects are coming and uh and figure out who's interested in bidding them and and making sure we have as much local participation as possible. Just a comment as you're getting ready for your community sessions next week, if you could include uh the slides to show how the building sits on the the footprint of the land just to refresh everybody and regground them on orientation and streets and direction and things. Um I found myself thinking about what what's after that part of so just communitywise that might be helpful. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate that. Apologies I didn't have it for you tonight. I know we talked about um money and the budget, but do we have any update of the supply status? Has that been affected
066at all as far as like building materials? Correct. Uh not right now. There are certainly things that are long lead time items and and we'll be working with the the design team and the engineering team to identify those and if there are things that impact schedule, we can look to procuring those early in the process. You know, one of the benefits of having a 18 to 24month schedule is we've got a long time till we need certain things. So, uh, so we do have, um, we we don't have concerns right now about supply chain. Again, I don't have that's not a guarantee that nothing's going to happen in the next 12 months. I'd say your longest material lead time item is somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 to 15 months is what we're seeing in
067the market right now. So, with this, as Matt described, being a longer construction duration, we're not concerned with getting anything on site at the moment. Is that green paint? Those are chillers and generators. So, sorry. Even though there are many generators manufactured very locally, it's still there's a long uh backlog of orders on those materials, which is causing delay time. All right. Are there any other questions? comments. Thank you gentlemen for your detailed report tonight. Very very eye opening to see everything how moving and progressing. Thank you. You next up we have the update on the 2025 2026 proposed preliminary um budget. Mark, Dr. Conrad, Rachel, and Jamie. Great. So, uh last board meeting we uh presented the first draft of the preliminary budget which is um comes to the board soon for approval. And
068uh at that time we said we'd come back in May with any updates and also with uh the details of the uh paid time off which um we are pretty much have that down to some of the detail that we're still working through at that time. Um if you remember we we do have that as a line item in the in the budget $150,000 to implement the the paid time off. So, I'm just going to update you on a couple things that changed in the budget since um April and then Jamie will go through the uh paid time off for you. So, um so I only have three things that that moved in the budget. One of them was um we had an expense reduction for staff turnover and and since May we did have
069one additional retirement and there was a little bit of of savings with that. So uh we added $4,416 expense reduction with that. On the flip side, we uh had a some enrollment numbers at James Madison come in that we originally had uh James Madison down at 1.0 teacher FTE, but the enrollment numbers coming in, we we've taken that back. So, we're not reducing uh that teacher position at James Madison. So, uh that's a $70,000 increase to the budget. So obviously those two things uh don't offset um but we we are approving tonight in the committee with finance committee the uh contract with PRY bus company. Uh so we did have some more accurate numbers with that and we also got some bids uh back for some of the bus cameras that uh need to be
070replaced for next year and those came in lower than anticipated. So, uh, we were able to get that budget back in balance by, uh, reducing the transportation budget by $65,000. So, those are the only changes, uh, to date and, um, you know, we'll come back in June with the final preliminary budget and then it just continues to be adjusted until we come back in October with the the real budget as I call it. So um but um most of those adjustments between uh July you know July 1st and October are staff related. So because mostly because hiring new staff understanding what health plans they're taking things like that is going to adjust a lot of those um salary and benefit lines. So we'll make those adjustments. And then um and then the big item we
071wanted to just to just just share with you was the PTO and I'll let Jamie go through that. All right. So PTO, paid time off. Um this is a a bit of a change in the way that we're doing time off as far as teaching staff goes. Um currently we have two personal days and 10 sick days. And that's pretty standard with the way that districts work in Wisconsin. Um we're proposing something that seems a bit progressive um in that a lot of districts don't do things this way um however we're proposing um to change the model to a um 10 PTO days uh which can be used for personal vacation sick anything you need to use them for um throughout the school year. If you do not use all of your 10 PTO days,
072they can be rolled over into what we're calling an um extended health leave, which is essentially a sick bank. Um and that caps at 60 days, which that's also the same for sick days. Right now, we cap the sick bank at 60 days. Um once you hit the cap of 60 days or for the extended help we make bank, then you have the opportunity to be paid out for any remaining PTO days. Um right now we're seeing that that will be at $200 per day if you have any remaining PTO days at the end of the school year. Um uh in addition um if you've used all your PTO days and you are ill, you can then tap into your extended health leave bank for two sick days. Um and then we've also added up
073to three paid bereavement days to this plan, which is not something that staff have now. Uh right now if they need bereavement leave, it comes out of their sick bank. So that's an addition uh to what we're proposing. Um so that is really uh it in a nutshell. I know that the policy does go on you know in in quite some detail. Um but I'm open to take questions. Was there any discussion? I think this is wonderful by the way. I think it gives people a lot of it's how business and industry treats their people and I think It gives people flexibility. So, I'm all for it. That being said, I just wondered, we thought all about some school districts do you can donate a sick day, which I know people would not do willy-nilly
074because $200 is $200. But I also know that if they had a young teacher on their staff who had something serious happen and they didn't have anywhere to go, I really think teachers would give a day to help somebody else in that kind of setting, especially in their own building. I'm wondering if that was ever discussed. Yeah, it has been discussed and it's right at the tail end of the policy. So, we do have an opportunity for teachers that have banked the days in the extended health leave make to then offer up a one day of PTO to someone in need. Thank you. So, we're limiting it to the one day. Um I do believe we do have it limited to one day. Um yep. May donate one PTO day per school year. And and
075that we have legal counsel look at that because there's a lot of rules around donating of time off with tax IRS like so some of some of that language was working through with the attorney just to make sure that there are no taxations of receiving donated mom mine's just a comment I really like the idea I think that it um demonstrates a lot of professionalism to trust staff and teachers to, you know, decide when they need to be there and to decide when they can't. Um, you know, whether they're taking a personal day or as a sick day, you know, you don't want people lying about why they need to be gone if they need to be gone. Um, so I just think there's a strong level of professionalism and I appreciate that. I just
076have a question about the the donation piece. So, when somebody has a Um, and correct correct me if I'm wrong, but in the past there's been emails that go out to say this is my situation and requesting because people outside of your individual building can also donate. Is that still a practice where folks need to say hello this is what's going on with me will you please consider or are there more discreet ways of doing that in consideration? So currently exactly how you've described is is what happens except it does funnel through the HR department for a little bit of oversight. However, in discussing with our legal team, there does need to be more oversight. Um people need to sign off on forms saying what we can share and what we can't share. Um and
077then we'll move through the process from there. So yeah, there's a lot of um more legal regulations around it than what we have in place now, but um um essentially the same kind of a process. People have to reach out and share that they are wishing either to give their time or someone is in need of time and then we've got forms that that are in place that people will have to sign off on and then we can share the information to collect the donated days. So, it is a legal requirement for our staff members to disclose the reasoning for their need or No, no, they wouldn't have. I mean, that could be their statement. It's just Yes. I'm going through a difficult time. I could use there's a legal requirement to get their signature
078to say it's okay for you to share my needs. Okay. I've just always thought it was a little tricky um to have folks opening up their um Well, you're right. your thought is right. Thank you. Um we really appreciate that. That's been something that you guys were working on. I think that's very very good. So thank you. A lot of work from Jamie and meet and confer. We're happy we were able to figure it all out and the feedback that I've received has been really positive from staff. Really appreciated liking the flexibility. Yes. So, thank you. All right. Is there any opposition to take items C, D, and E together for second read? No. I seek a motion to approve the the adoption of the second reading of policies 7440, 8330 and 9150. So moved.
079Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Next we have a report out of the committees. First up we have curriculum instruction K. Item number one. taken care of diplomas. Congratulations to all. Second item, France 2026 field trip. This is South High School during the spring break 26 school year. They have correct form second. All in favor say I. I. I. Motion carries. Then we had uh the item on department leaders information and discussion only if we have any questions about that concerns. Um and item number five. Oh, the technology I missed them. I'm sorry. Uh technology overview and road map. Similarly, that was in the packet. a lot of good information, concerns, questions about technology. They're trying to do some things to have a uniform classroom set of materials, equipment, and
080so forth. Okay. And then we had items number 5 through 10. Uh these are first readings. What we did in committee was we pulled out item number seven which dealt with the third grade promotion. Um and acted on all the rest together. Do you want to do that again or do you just want to move all of them? Does anybody have any questions? Monthly grade. All right, let's move all of them then. Five through 10. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Next we have human resources committee. Item number one, I seek a motion for confirming um some appointments of new staff for next school year. Is there a second? Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. Motion carries. Item number two is approving a leave of absence.
081So I seek a motion on that. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. And then items number three and four, separations and an internal administrative transfer are for information and in your packets. Thank you, Leah. Next we have facilities recreation theater committee. Peter. Okay, first item, summer community recreation department marketing insert. Uh any anyone have any comments or questions about that? That was for information in the packet. Okay. Second item is theater company financial report also available within your materials. I look for a motion to approve the theater company financial report. So moved. I'll second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Community recreation department financial report for a motion. Some moved. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. And facility permit reports for information that is in your material. That
082concludes theater and recreation. Thank you, Peter. Welcome. You back up. I'm back again. Yeah. Finance and budget. First item under finance budget committee is the fund 41 capital projects. Seeking a motion to accept. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. N referendum project wasformational. Uh statement of cash flow for approval or motion to accept. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Revenues and expenditures report. for a motion to accept that report as presented. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. District transportation contract which was um approved in committee for a motion to accept that in board. Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. budget revisions. That's revisit budget revisions, transfer of appropriations. Get a motion. So, second. Second. All in favor say I. I. Thank you. Motion
083carries. And last gift? um approval of gifts received to the district. So moved. A second. Thank you. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Financing budget. All right. Thank you. Next we have committee of the whole. Committee of the whole is listed for procedural purposes. Thank you my madam vice president. Next we have the special on board committees. Brown table with Dr. U. Yeah, good conversation as always. Uh we spoke about report cards a little bit. I think there's some interest I think it's pretty well known that report cards by and large reflect um socioeconomic status of the school and of the district. So uh there's some interest in looking at that um how we better reflect our schools. Also looking Um the one that's being tossed out most is what we're already doing,
084which is college care and life readiness. Um and having districts have report card. Um that would reflect that. Obviously, we value students who go to college, but we also value students that go to two-year school. We value students that enter the military. We value students that go directly into the workforce. So, a report card that would reflect the achievements of all those students would seem most appropriate. Um so, we continue to talk about how we can do that at the state level and I think there's interest some interest on both sides. Um another piece to add to that or board information is that uh moving forward we will be required in our report card to uh list essentially the number of citations issued at each school. So that's a new requirement. Uh, if I'm speaking
085very bluntly, I think that's to try to paint certain schools in a bad light. Um, so there's some back and forth right now, I think, with DPI and the legislature about how that works. Um, and what that looks like. Um, I was talking with the superintendent, I want to say a larger district to the to the north of us, and she said, "Yes, so we have a property that butts up to park. The part of our property and now we have to list everything that happens on that park on our uh report. It just it's not well done. Needs to be changed. Um so we continue to advocate for that. Special ed funding continues to be the uh the number one topic as far as a funding request. So uh you'll hear everything from upset
086that Ivers did what he did with his his veto pen. So that's it to I think 60% is where we'll land which is our ask and then everywhere in between. So that's the name of the game really right now. For us it's really hard to determine what we can do as far as wages go and things of that nature without knowing where our funding is going to be at $325 a student or whatever uh that is. That comes in well under inflation. So, we'll see where that shakes out, but we continue to advocate for that and everybody continues to advocate that with one voice, which has been really strong this year. Uh there hasn't been any any splendering there. There was some introduction just so you're aware of we'll put it just on the high
087needs costs, right? So, um, that's a that's a small a much smaller piece of the special ed budget, right? Is students that that that have high needs um and expenses. Some of that is reimburseable as well. It's different at voucher schools than it is at uh neighborhood schools, etc. But we're not going down that road. Um, we've seen that happen before uh politically where all of a sudden you get, you know, 4 million dropped in the mental health fund spread across 400 and some school districts and it it doesn't do anyone any good. So, that's not what we're asking for and there was no interest in having discussions about that. And then the final piece for the board to understand is the decoupling. Um, and we continue to talk with the legislature about that. What's
088I I think probably most interesting to me about the decoupling conversation is we can't say that there isn't money to fund special ed students at a what I would call an ethical rate when there is money being thrown out there if the state will agree to decouple voucher schools. The money's there, the money's there. Um so that was the conversation that we had. Um, decoupling, as we've talked about, poses a lot of issues as far as inequities between vouchers and neighborhood schools. So, that's of no interest to us. Um, we'll see what the legislature does with it, but it is interesting to me that there's money there for decoupling, but not for special ed. So, we're going to have to continue to have discussions about that and work through those processes, but we always thank
089our legislature coming to the table. It's not every community where they show up like they do uh with us. We have good conversation and I think we we all leave with a better understanding of of each other in the process. So, difficult conversations but good conversations and appreciative of those that attend. Thank you, Dr. Conrath. Next, we have the Shabboa Public Education Foundation. Leah, yes. So, on Wednesday, May 14th, scholarship night was held and over a million dollars in scholarships were given at the Stephanie Wild Center.

Um, in addition to the crown jewel of the year, scholarship night, um, teacher spring teacher
090grants um, are about to be reviewed and there were 29 grants submitted by SASD teachers. So, the committees are going to take a look through those and make their decisions.

Um next we have the human growth and development citizens advisory committee. Okay. So we uh met and went through some of the things about topics by grade. I think we have a pretty good sense of where the committee is coming
091on that. The actual nuts and bolts, a lot of that will be fine-tuned over the summer uh by health teachers, the experts and people having to use the materials and then they will be bringing back materials to us in September. Uh also I wanted to ask for action on the uh five people you see listed. Uh we have uh Jeremy Highland for clergy, Lauren Winender for healthc care, Maria Sager as a student and Tracy Ali and Allison Olant as pre positions. This is on a rotating basis.
