001got to know the programs and our students really well over the last couple of years and I'm excited to kind of continue to grow things so um yeah thanks again for having me and look forward to working with everybody thank you con congratulations again thank you thank you all right are we ready for the special presentation we are I mean are you ready no are you ready ready B ready evening board members members of the audience wait for to come on okay number 11 huh that's right that's exactly what I was gonna say we can't believe we're already in bond for an update number 11 it only feels like like the first time I have an ear worm so it should be a fairly a brief presentation uh as you know at the last board

002meeting it should be unless you guys ask questions through it we are recording this right I tried not to present today but I was asked to present so at the last board meeting I focus more on the projects that were under construction so tonight's uh presentation will focus on projects under design um and then I'll close with a brief update on other General projects so I'll start with the 13 135th and Aviation sports complex project um I am happy to report that we have concluded the construction documents space we submitted the plans to DSA last week on August 6th and we are still on track to commence construction on this much awaited project on March 2025 with a plan of construction completion of December 2025 now we've been having having regular meetings with Ericson Hall

003our leasy fact contractor in the form of preconstruction meetings uh in preparation for this they've done a thorough constructability review pbk has responded to all of the constructively review comments um both firms both pbk and Ericson Hall owe the district a uh cost estimate a construction documents which is the the most valuable cost estimate it gives us a realistic picture now that we have bitable plans um they're in the process of developing the cost estimate unfortunately because we just completed the the the documents last week they generally need about two to three weeks and then we do a Reconciliation ation of budget so at the next board meeting I'll be able to come in and and present the the findings in terms of the cost estimate uh if you have a focus uh I have

004some new renderings to share with you tonight um you already probably review them in your packet but it gives you a more realistic picture of what the the project will look like this is the main entry to the building as you can see and this is a concessions restroom and storage building are we looking north south on this is directly off you can see the building there directly off of the wisor middle school parking lot we'll be using that as our main parking lot here you can see a board's ey perspective um you can see the soccer field as well as the softball and little littling field on to the north there if I can point is the south parking lot you'll see in a in a better rendering right now in another view I

005had a question on this logo I know the logo's facing the right way for the school but is it facing the right way for people driving by I don't it seems silly but it really depends on where the bleachers will be so one of the things that we'll look at is you generally want to face the logo where you'll have those um temporary or mov bleachers or well you designated areas for for um parents to say our community members uh you'll see that in another view here do you mean the logo in long yeah the wsd theer not on the soer not the one on the field no yeah the middle one yeah the one on the field on the field this one here so there there's minimal because you can see there's minimal space

006along this side so most likely you'll have a bit more of a gap here for anyone who's here to watch the game so you'll be able to see the logo from there correct here you have another angle you can see this is where the SLC building currently sits this will be our south parking lot with approximately um I believe there's 30 something parking stalls we're trying to get 40 um I believe we we're only able to capture about 35 you can see the M maintenance and operations building will remain and you can see the wibur Middle School building the parking currently exists along Aviation is going to be it's assumed in the in the correct the correct there'll still be some street parking uh but we'll be able to capture all of the parking in

007the wport Middle School lot as well so you'll have both lots to be able to and with pedestrian entrances as well here you can see a closer view of the south parking lot that's Aviation correct come on and this one I thought was an interesting perspective to share with you guys again this is a concessions building but you can see a daytime and a nighttime perspective um as you can see there's some special lighting features that will make it interesting at night I don't know how you guys feel about it but I like it I was quite impress with with the design and the in terms of the elements we're looking at a combination of um I can't read from here so I always R my computer this isn't any better um it's a mixture

008of stacco different a broom finish and a smooth finish as well as the powder coated metal along the the canopy at the main entrance questions yes and this is again a daytime and nighttime perspective from the back of the building so you're facing from the soccer field facing the concessions building and um we have been talking about the dis is that between the socer if you can go back to that I I am that what is that fencing there or it's for the soccer it's it's it's netting corrects exactly and we have been talking about the digital displays locating them in a couple of different locations and this is separate of course from the scoreboards as you can see this is again the concessions building we're talking about adding a 16 by 8T um digital

009display on the side of the building along 135th street so anyone that's driving by you can announce games times it's the perfect opportunity to do that off of fencing off of Aviation or do we know the height of that fence 30 so each panel display we're gonna probably put this at the oh this you threw me sorry corner and there's a second display that's coming up this one as you can see each one of those panels is about 10t so it's 30 feet we've lined up this display which is a single sided facing um one uh Aviation street I'm sorry this is facing Aviation and direct ly behind it to protect obviously the display is the the fence would it make more sense now we have some options where we can move it we initially

010Neil you have brought up bring um installing that at the very corner of 135th in aviation but because of clearances and that there's some electrical light poles there we cannot install it there so the only other option is about the middle of um Aviation Street since we already have the other one on on was if it's going to do this should it be facing north south because you just drive by this this is not people are standing in the middle of Aviation looking at that that is an easy fix if that is the yes I would agree that it should face north south I'm also wondering should it go where the south parking lot is could it go down there facing north south because that would be like the other end of the facility whatever

011we have not explored that option but we can certainly do that maybe there it would be a little bit out of the way and would give the makes makes sense allow you to do the north you the you have the parking entrance you the South just keep in mind that plans were already submitted to DSA any changes we can capture these changes fine we can but it'll be until back check we wouldn't be able to submit at this point so once we start receiving comments from DSA that's a perfect opportunity for us to squeeze in any other changes last minute changes that's a good point Rebecca and and both NE bring up I think it should face north south I think that's easy I think close to South parking lot is one one area where

012you would have this and then you already have an entryway off of off a wi no I mean I would say it is just turning it but you also I mean if you were to like turn it right there you're going to now obstruct so we want to make sure that's in a place where it's also north south not obstructing no it's not obstructing the field it seems like it is but there's a quite a bit of distance and separation from there it's directly behind the The netting so the netting protects it and there's still a big gap in between because we had talked about potentially making it a dual sided display but it was going to be difficult to see with the knitting with the fencing it's not nting expensive well I think that's

013the thing is if we if we were to turn it north south you would sort of expect it to be the other thing that we can do I can it I this pointer right here I don't know if you can see this kind of uh opaque area that's the um BTY cages we can also scoot this push it back so that it's away from basically Center between the soccer field and the and the softball field that's also not option and it's within the same footprint so that should be an easy fix but if you want me to explore the option of bringing it to the South next to basically facing the sou Southern parking lot just if you go back to that side view if you go back to two previous slides I think one

014more right there see well yeah behind and there's another previous slide but that you get right before this right before this one like right in that area and it looks like you got the room we have the room yeah mhm yeah even in front of that corner that's what I mean yeah that corner behind baseball field okay yeah you could even like yeah anyways it just makes sense not a problem as like an entry point we'll bring it to PK's attention during our meeting next week on Monday I love it I love all the rest of it yeah looks good okay moving on to the next project the D Vinci kitchen modernization project as you know a couple of board meetings ago actually at the June 12 board meeting I believe um the board approved

015the amendment to pb's contract to uh start the design process for both the cafe and the kitchen modernization project now this is strictly the modernization and the direction of the board was to proceed proed with schematic design and stop um obtain the cost estimate and bring it to the board for for review uh the good news is as you can see the cost estimate has actually come it's lower than we had initially thought when pbk provided the initial um cost estimate it was based on a concept just the idea and the the original plans now that they've actually had an opportunity to start schematic design they've been able to develop it the the design a little more I'm still a little uh skeptical about this cost because it's still only schematic design there's still three

016other uh design stages there's still two other I'm sorry design development and then there's construction documents space I would like to request authorization to proceed to the next phase since it's looking good in terms of budget it obviously didn't come in over budget but at a minimum so that we can get the design a little bit further refined so that we can get a more realistic cost estimate are you skeptical because you anticipate the cost will go up the next It generally does as we Define any design further we after every stage we have a cost estimate after DD and CD it's not until you're complete with construction document phase which is the last one that you have bitable drawings that it you have you obtain the most realistic cost estimate so ideally not until

017we are done with the design will we have a true cost because at that point we'll have our we obtain cost from actual contractors this is right now just based from The Architects and they're generally lower than is the number roughly 1.8 is that what we're looking at it's 1.8 so as you can see I've brought up the cost and that's just construction cost only to be safe I've added another million dollars because I think that's more or less um all that has been the case with all of our other projects they come in on budget or under budget in schematic design but the minute we start moving into the other stages of design the cost always increases your proce to the next phas request is to go scha to design devel there is not

018a dollar request because the board already approved the amendment uh the direction was just to stop after schematic design so in the event that it would have come in that say $10 million I'm sure the board would have said absolutely not it's not feasible and the project now it actually came in a million dollars under uh what we initially had thought so my recommendation is to proceed to the next yeah I'm just gonna I'm going to Echo what what noi said I think the concern was not knowing what that cost was not having a good idea what the cost was and had it come in at 5 million or 6 million it probably would have been you know no go um coming in at 3.2 I just want to remind the board there was a

019conversation about $2 million about the district you know we thinking it was a $2 million project so still significantly more than that um there's obviously going to have to be some conversations with d Vinci um cost sharing some sort you know plus the board authorizes 3.2 million or or more so um I'd recommend that we at least continue on and get I mean because the difference isn't as much has come down that we at least get a hard you know hard cost estimate on it or what is the additional cost to do that so the the amendment I know we've approved up to but what are we talking here $339,000 so there is a cost Factor obviously to go to the DD phase to complete the entire design so I think the question I think

020the question is he the different from going to schematic to DD phase what are we looking at I don't have that number with me sorry hard to give you yes you percentage I'm sure I can not I I didn't come apologize I thought we had already had a conversation about who was responsible for some of the cost on this project tell me more like I thought that part of the reason I would proceeding with this was because D Vinci had requested to build out the kitchen for oh yeah program so that they were all they had already said that they would cover some costs related to it so it's not that we would like this 3.2 was not something that we were would be on the hook for the entire M that's correct so the

021conversation was around the servery and the cafe cafe is a small project uh project DCI will be covering that DCI has uh Matt has shared that they would that they would cover that cost I think conversations um that we've had we obviously have to put some kind of agreement together that we haven't done yet but it's hard to put an agreement together when we don't have I mean this is the realest number we have so but I guess what I'm trying to understand is of the because is the cafe part of this thing right so that's a whole separate thing so this they have agreed to to fund separ see you're yeah no I was just trying I thought I was trying to understand whether for the overall project that we're talking about you were

022talking about the cafe and the Sur that that's actually an excellent point because the Vinci's finding that it's not as easier as they initially thought or as cost effective the survery or the the cafe the cafe the cafe because the health department it this all got triggered because the health department came in for an inspection we brought in pbk to address the inspection items we did we submitted that and Health Department said oh by the way we realized you guys never came to the health department there was never an inspection we never even knew that this was a project therefore it has to be treated as a full sub metal very similar to DSA so they had to go back and redesign everything so now they're completely essentially getting that cafe and starting over in

023ter in terms of lighting flooring um equipment Plumbing electrical so it's it's not a simple fix to address the couple items that were on that list now it's a fullblown project still cheap in comparison to this um I think we've gone a couple of cost estimates around 300 350 but it's not you know $110,000 or I guess I was just trying to understand if we were on the hook for the whole amount and it sounds like we are because that project is a separate related but separate project separate project no the sery is on here though now to your point Cy is Kitchen correct the cafe is separate the cafe is separate Cory is is part of the kitchen of the 32 there will be pulling out the Cy eventually has agreed to pay for

024that oh they have yeah yeah yeah okay this do we have this in writing for each other's protection no we don't we would put the we we don't have a real number to put yet until we get that hard number then we'll then we we've talked about agreement we just need to know what we're agreeing to so if I I'm trying to see if I can address uh Neil's question here to some extent if I have a schematic design development 50% CD 100% kind I'm break just for Simplicity purposes breaking it out you you I think you shared 300 something th000 total designed for this 330 or something like that it's roughly about is a fair to say roughly about $85,000 as I go from B from from I mean it varies because there's different

025like right right there's construction Administration built in yeah so so so you're so talking about somewhere when we're when when she's requesting to go from schematic to DD phase you're talking and then from DD to 50 % it's not not precise but you're talking about 80 somewhere between 8 90,000 we have now we approved the whole we've approved the entire amount but the dire was stop after design so what we could do is make a recommend we could we could support the recommendation so that we get more details um and so forth and go to the design development phase and that that's the and we can easily stop after DD as well yeah and no I mean basically we don't move Beyond this it's just a project this that project correct it's just we're spending

026on obviously the the design portion of it but eventually should the project move forward it's not wasted fun they can use this design we're having a workshop at some point of coming about all this uh on our on our bond expenditure yeah probably well we were going to our priorities our project priority is probably not going to be the I mean we can add the kitchen to it that's that's where I'm all coming from increments and encroachments are making decisions for us that I haven't I'm not comfortable that we I'm involved in making and that makes me uncomfortable because i' I'd rather have choices rather than have choices made for me and that's my hesitation here when is it plan to do that so part of the reason why we haven't been able to and

027and and I had this conversation just last week part of the reason why we haven't been able to schedule that priorities meeting because we're still waiting for the true cost estimates for 135th in aviation which is a fairly large project in the Del modernization so um I I was going to get to Delair in just a bit but basically we're very close to submitting to DSA but we're not submitting we're not schedu to be done with construction documents for Delair mod until the end of September so realistic Al I won't have a cost estimate until two weeks later um so you're looking more like the October board meeting before I can come in and say this is what these two projects are going to cost which remember these two projects are partially funded by series

028B which will help us determine the rest of our priorities for series B so even if I come to you now I only have half of the information it wouldn't be fair to waste your time if I can't come in with true estimates and I think the other thing too is that um happy to pause the Pi Project I mean I think this was was a request of the board that we explore this as an option to finish the high scho uh facility so happy to pause that for now until we do the shet if that's what that's what you know the board wants also happy to continue and just get a number I you know I'd recommend we spend the 880,000 to get a real number because we're going to need that real number

029at one point anyway and I I mean I would just suggest at least we do it while we have momentum U moving there and then we could pause come back and maybe by then we could put together the the priority shet and and really account for um you know we had the the I'm sorry I don't want to digress but we had the technology project that was more than what we had anticipated right but I just want to also remind uh the board that part of that project is also Safety and Security so when you put it together it wasn't $16 million over you know it wasn't 10 I mean there's there's other parts of our bond project or program that are being addressed by that project um obviously TK was uh was something that

030we we just weren't anticipating you know and actually say actually we were anticipating in our master plan we're actually saving money by by building by not building but modernizing repurposing repurposing although you know it became a nightmare of a project but it's still love it though it's still under love it [Laughter] Kelly um so anyway I just want to say we know that that there's some things we're going to have to reconcile level set on um really happy to do that look forward to we look forward to doing it because we also want to to make sure that we're can't wait to do it because I'm in limbo right now like asking me you know where are we to like keep projects sat for the time know like we can't keep spending the same money

031multiple times I guess part of the question too I guess is if they're redoing what the timeline of the cafe project which seems to be you know which is not included in here how is that impact Cafe is moving the cafe is not um the design is essentially done for the cafe right now it's it's with the Vinci's team basically it's in their court for them to review options so with some of those options there's a cost so they're reviewing to determine what is their best and most cost effective option so I'm hoping that we should have hear something back from them next week yeah I'm just trying to think of you know if we have to have this cover ation about the like you know cost sharing around this project and things like that

032just want to make sure that we're staying on a timeline where we can do that if they're moving the cafe project forward and then you know what I mean like that's why going Advance yeah yeah I'd rather do the I I'm in favor of moving to the next phase in order since that project is moving just in order to get those numbers so we can actually then get to that conversation that we would need to have my my thoughts are also to move to the DV phase um but I've also like Neil requested we we spoke that we need to um Circle back make sure that we're looking at our master plan looking at our priorities and our priorities in respect to the bonds taale series A B and C make sure that we're still

033fulfilling those priorities and there's some things that now as Noami you mentioned have gone beyond the budget so that's going to come from somewhere right it's going to come from either Bond CC series C and I think that's what the exercise we need to do is look at that and say okay what it making sure that we're still adhering to the priority of the community that's the October presentation you're talking about right okay just looked like he was going to have another question no move on to the next uh now we discussed solar at length at the last um meeting the only reason I brought it up the dates have not changed happy to report that you probably have seen it we've started at Delair uh the the actual stel has already erected it's already

034up uh we're going to start installing the the actual structure as of next week on Monday they'll also be delivering the solar panels next week so as the structur start going up the panels are going in again just try to get in and get out as fast as possible um the only reason I'm bringing this to your attention is because we've made a couple of changes in the sequencing of projects the original um order of the Solar projects was Delair which is still number one poly Glen two Aviation three and weisburn being last uh I decided to to walk um the dirt lot from the 135th in aviation to Aviation and it just seemed like a very long walk for our teachers and good thing I did I brought it up to Dr Silvers and

035he said are there other options so I said I might not have great options but there is one more that I would have to explore with the other two principles with um both um Aviation and wiber Middle School principal to make sure they would be okay with that with with the proposed change so we're go back real quick I have a question on here I just want to make sure so so I walk the site today Michelle and I had an opportunity to site and I know this project obviously was impacted a little bit because DSA so I see the staff parking uh in the blue there so we're going to have staff parked there when the school starts right I'm glad you brought that up so initially we had um the initial plan was

036to park on the street there's plenty of street parking but again just to make to reduce the inconvenience for staff uh we decided to place temporary so soing so uh come August 27th MH are those two par are the two areas that I'm looking at are is a contractor still going to have absolutely so there will so basically come August 28th however we're going to go to green so just a day later so I'm pushing okay I'm pushing side logic I know I know I know I know trust me I'm like one day seriously I'm pushing them to finish a day earlier but this schedule has already been compressed as much as possible yes so I'm go I'm what I just want to make sure that I mean this is a pretty significant change to

037the school site the community so we I want I just want to make sure that they understand before they come to school what the impact is going to be because this is a pretty significant impact so we abely and and I'm I mean I've been in communication with the principles in terms of their their timelines but I am happy to work with them developing traffic procedures a map with some procedures we can easily do that but again I'm hoping that we can pick up the one day so by the day that school starts we're at least have freed up additional parking on site doeses does delir do a school Year's Eve which is on the 26th yeah so it doesn't matter I mean it's there there's going to be an impact because parents are going

038to come on the on campus on the 26 to learn about their kids classes get the mess well great they'll learn there dry just saying for the next day I may have I asked in our last meeting to check about the viability of using the parking lot using the feet the the concrete on for a parking lot for the teachers which is what they're doing so we are doing that we are it's already there yeah the fence is already there it's ready to go granted staff is not there yet but the minute that the 10 F field use but on the outdoor play Space use that was not the original plan to have the staff parking where it is right now yeah yeah so that that's the contingency okay okay okay so again the sequencing

039has changed Aviation is next Aviation will start next week you'll see temporary fencing going up uh around the the solar project um I'm sure Rebecca's really excited to see that and I'll show you in the next Slide the dates are basically we're keeping the same exact dates that Holly gland had but we just changed the sequence so just looking at if you go back to that slide I just want to make sure I understand the Rebecca help me out here the pickup drop off does that go all the way around Y and so will that pickup drop it's gonna have to go through which means there's GNA be no third grade drop off anymore Kim is probably real a good person to talk about we hav't talking yeah and um drop off will still be

040able to occur here there still even though the red is there during those hours basically 40 minutes during the morning and afternoon got it great we should still send that message to people that um how that's going to work and that they'll see that we'll send one out yeah yeah so this is what there's your there's your backup there's our backup plan so to start with Aviation now we are going to take a portion of the Wisper mle School uh black top area I think that's an outdoor soccer area fence it's just a it's there's nothing there it's next to the foota court right foots thank you so the foota will not be uh right next to that one oh gosh right there so that we're not touching that and I already walked it with

041K and she she was okay with her plan uh this is a fire lanane we are going to provide access to fire uh emergency vehicles so parking will occur on basically on the SES on this side and then yeah okay right there well gosh you know what I yeah we got it we know what it is throw this away and with enough u space for an emergency vehicle it we'll have Double Gates up the top as well as a pedestrian gate so we we review the plan with her she was okay with it be short term and she understand that so and it'll make the walk for Aviation staff competition during that so from here they'll be able to come in aviation staff it just go directly straight versus before they had to go from

042here and completely all around yeah yeah there's a connecting gate between the two schools we walked it um and it took us about 10 minutes and I wasn't carrying anything so if I'm a teacher carrying I'm like yeah that's not and you avoid them having to walk you wurn Forest that's the area there so we will continue with our plan to use the middle the dirt lot for Middle School staff that has allowed us to reduce the footprint without having because we're going to be running that lot for both Aviation and middle school so it was going to be a lot larger which translated to a lot more expensive uh we were getting quotes to get that ready around over $100,000 which is ridiculous just for 10 parking I I just forgot I know you

043probably said it the number of parking spaces on the right hand side the in the in the the Middle School lot yeah how many oh you're just matching it right that we're not matching it uh we're getting about did we say7 67 be so I know it say staff parking you know I know there visitors who come to the school we could reduce it there's um visitors that come to the school sites during the day so I'm just curious about that like for Aviation that if if all we have is those like five spaces are we just expecting people to park on the streets I guess and we're there okay unfortunately again we had we not been delayed Thea we wouldn't have be in this yeah I'm just thinking about parents who are coming for

044their kids IEPs and you know all that kind of stuff expect substantial by October 9th but we're not getting any that that's when we get any of the parking spots back because that that whole area that that's in red it it doesn't matter between red and green frankly because those are that's the whole thing exactly it's the it's the yellow until you go to Yellow doesn't matter right that's what well technically well yes October 9th yeah except for like in Del air there's more parking you gain for this one you get a few of them back by mid-september it looks like correct and the good news is that at least you have the parking here along the front for visitors I mean that's the only in comparison to the other sides I don't have that

045yeah I think it's a yeah I mean there's the the spots that are there are a handicapped spot a spot for the principal I think there's there's like three or four that are like already designated and then there'll be like three or four any chance talking to the city of hawthor where we can get some allowable parking right there the school for those couple of weeks it is allowed it is there's only I think there's like street sweeping one day and uh it's loading and unloading for you know drop off a pickup then after once the school day starts it's it's open okay just a reminded everybody why we're doing this yeah in addition to the nice little side benefit of sun damage not happening on teachers cars which is lovely uh more importantly this

046is after the first year saving us more than a couple hundred thousand doll a year correct for for 20 years and then it saves us more than a million dollar a year so this is a fabulous investment it's going to pay off and there's some angst going on right now but this is and this is all funded without public dollars so this is pretty exact so yeah and good for the environment yeah again Holland so all of the sites have a parking plan you could see the Hollen which will be the third School in the order starting on September 3rd staff parking will occur along the back of the campus they have room for them they do they have quite a bit of room and then Weiser will be the last starting on September 16

047and will'll run the longest obviously uh we're expect to be completed substantially complete by November 8th and last um just some quick General updates on the other projects that we discussed um last last board meeting the data center has since been 100% complete the last time we were I showed you we're still doing punch list that has been completed the Del air roof replacement project we're very near completion we should be reaching that by the end of next week uh they only have about three Portables that they're they're working on they were working on it today I was um this afternoon and um and they're expected to be completed by by the end of this week with the Portables right now what they're working on is installing the final roof coat uh that required 30

048days of curing before they could get on there so we're right on track Delair TK conversion project that one's also 98% complete we have um uh we punched the the building last week and the contractor is currently working on the punch list items he'll be done um by the end of next week as well uh Weiss bur D Vinci soccer field project is still on track for completion on October 10th we did experience a little bit of delays with getting the contractor sub out to do the the forming of the curbs and all of the concrete work that is necessary before they can actually start working on the field itself on laying the turf preparing for the the turf uh right now we're we're um targeting the right after Labor Day to start the installation

049of the carpet so that is not going to delay our overall project we're still on track to finish on time on October 10th and we are looking at potentially uh scheduling a ribbon cutting ceremony uh towards the end of October mid to late October something to keep in mind Holly gland TK conversion project uh project the pro the plans have been with DSA we're actually in the in the process of responding to DSA comments uh the architect uh is going to submit their final comments to DSA by tomorrow and we're hoping that DSA approval will follow shortly after maybe in the next couple of weeks or at latest in a month we're still on track uh to commence in January we did move the staff um over summer that rather than moving them over Winter

050break I we discussed this with Lisa um she didn't want to D she put that out for the teers to decide she decided to during summer so that they could start the year in their temporary classrooms that way there's no disruption to learning and fin well no we have a couple more delir um minor modernization project again that one's on track to commence in June plans will be ready to submit the daa at the end of September SLC features programming location also on track to start um June 2025 and um just a reminder that we have our citizens oversight committee tour of the sites will start here uh with the Wisper dich soccer field at 4M on Monday you're all welcome to attend and is the plan is the plan to go to all the

052pieces there are very very uh similar well the similar kind of feel lots of moving pieces with the network infrastructure cable being pulled clocks being installed uh phones cameras get delivered on Friday laptops get delivered on Friday so just lots of things to take in um and and make sure they get out in a way that's um manageable so um looking good uh looking slower than we would have liked uh you know things things never happen the way they should but um you know really happy laptops will be in Friday um we'll get a chance to do some configuration I think over the weekend um and then we can start handing out to new teachers on Monday and and teachers are returning next week um so that we can send the least laptops back uh

053you know before November so really um really excited to say that I will say the clocks look really nice now whether they work or not we have to test them just they work but um they look really at the right time at air the right I checked I'm like okay you can hear most of the speakers um and then cameras like I said uh don't know the exact ET I think we still need to sit down and think about a recovery plan to get those cameras up um likely be during the school year but um lots of cable being pulled you know lots of of updates to the to the the clock systems um just look forward to bigger update month so we'll be ready for the first day of school in terms in terms

054of connectivity though we will yes we'll be we'll be connected um we'll still be on our old Network okay or the S the old Network the S so we will have done the switch over correct Swit over won't happen until probably September at some point is that what you're thinking Tony yeah it's a go home one night come the next morning and de it's new world thank you very much was that brief I tried you thank you thank you n all right are we going board member reports now start with you at the end over there Steve nice to have you here from D Vinci well this is my comments actually maybe more relevant to you than us but this I know Nelson this has been something important to you it's been extremely important to

055me when I'm talking about is financial education in school and the governor just signed AB 2927 which you're probably familiar with which now mandated that school that students have a semester of financial education by the time they graduate high school uh that will be required by 2030 but started in 2027 and I think it's it's a tiny step in the right direction but but a good one and it reminds us of our role potentially in financial education probably in coordination with math to help prepare our kids so when they get to Da Vinci easy peasy so that was that's something I was very excited about to see um we had talked about food at our schools and I know chart Wells was the again the choice and they had invited me to taste the food

068and laptop bag that folks will be able to utilize so that is the update in terms of professional development then we have Maggie is going to give a g you have a presentation for yeah for one some updates about our GATE program we're having a few changes this school year to our GATE program our main goal is we do enrichment which means it's outside of our school day in which our identified gate Learners will be coming to Opportunities after school this is is a third through eth grade program that's happening and during that time we enrich our students by ensuring that they have great leadership skills they are you know have a healthy self-concept of themselves hitting up their creative aspects as well as career awareness and then just making sure that we develop their

069intellectual and problem solving skills wrong way apologize this year a few shifts that are going to be happening is typically our third graders all take What's called the olat to identify if if they are qualified for gate education this typically happens around the end of November December ranges and then they participate in the enrichment program in the in the winter time we're going to have a quick shift to that and actually perform that assessment in mid-september due to shifting our enrichment program which in the past we've done it with star and we are going to be moving to using prosolve and this is a program that comes with the Cisco purchase that we did in which it really hits those four seas of education and is very engaging in which kids are going to be

070like Landing in an alter reality and having to solve their way out of this as a team and so it hits all those skills in which our enrichment program was after it's going to actually run 10 times the school year for two hours at a time October through April of 2025 so we want to end before string break to start gearing up for our assessments for the end of the school year so that is one of the reasons why we're shifting that old stat in third grade was to ensure they can get into that program right away and instead of star who we've contracted out we are going to tap into our own employees to help run this program during our Pro solve days so in September kind of our timeline and how our Communications

071are going to go out we're going to notify all of our families about the about the assessment of buat because parents do have the opportunity to opt out of it if they would like um we'll go ahead and inform everyone if they've been qualified or not inform our commity Comm about the program sign up window will close and then we're going to begin on our fingers cross October 22nd for our first enrichment after school time these are going to happen within our with our um teachers classrooms that volunteer to do the program a little bit different this year is we're using our own employees for this so um the program runs where you're going to have groups of six kids it'll be five groups of six kids with one instructor and um they're going to

072be all doing what's called a season of quest our our little guys our third through fifth graders are going to be doing season one and then our middle school kids will be tapping into season two just because the engagement that they had suggested and we researched would be better fit for the middle school kids so our looks are having about 12 of our staff members um sign up for this additional work during this they're going to be doing a three-hour training with prol on how to use the program and then they'll be with 20 hours with the students for the entire from that October to April timeline what's great is that that Pro solve comes with within the package that we've already purchased with Cisco so typically we would be using a contract with star

073we're um going to be using our own funds for gate with a 10,000 for our staff members and then the purchase of our allat assessments is typically around $7,000 so this program will cost $177,000 or in the past it was closer to that's the big differences it's late out is it twice a month and what what are the hours is it 3 to four it's going to be right after school time so 3:30 to 5:30 okay and we have the dates laid out we're we're doing it on a day we were tapping into our um our principles and Tuesdays look like the best day for staffs to have that after school enrichment so when we send out that communication to the community they'll be very clear on what those days are ahead of time okay

074and I save the dates as well it's not consecutive 10 weeks it's going to be some it's gonna be spread out okay I know we have a multi-year engagement with Cisco on this rolling out program are we have do we have a multi-year engagement for the pro Sol program yeah we do it's a we get with two years of these Seasons with Pro solve and so we're going to be using part of our package more or less to kind of try it out to see where it's going to fit in every day with our TK through eighth grade students we're really using them also as our own data point of how we can roll this out districtwide I'm assuming if by chance we don't have enough qualifying students that we make it available to others

075I don't know what the thinking is on so the thinking is long term that everybody's G to have some kind of access to this right um I think as just to we need to Fig we we we like this as a good pilot um to have our gate students you know engage with this and then as because it's part of our our our cont cont with Cisco we can include everybody so let's give this a run see how it goes and then roll it out to to know that it's rolling out potentially to even more I mean the opportunity of experiential project solving creative thinking learning you can't beat that right we have an average of how many students we students we serve each year each year um it's about it depends on the School

076site so it's a little bit different at each at each site our Middle School housing the most gate students right now is somewhere around 100 20 I'm going to give you some rough rough estimates yeah I guess I'm thinking about this um the scope of how many kids were able to service with through this as a pilot and then potentially how many we can serve but if we um bring it to the broader student population so we'll make this accessible to all of the gate students and then we'll I'll be able to inform you on what the signups looked like and the participation looked like um and then from there I use that as a data point for as a something know we want to do it broader thank you thank you so moving down

077um I know Mo'Nique is is online so she's going to give a present I'm just kidding Monique's heart palpitations Ming we have uh we do have a safety Wellness update you want to talk a little bit about cell phones no we have brought up the the option of of potentially using these these sealed boxes or or lock boxes essentially um at the front of classrooms and a plan I know the Middle School actually had come up with a potential uh bell schedule and a plan for that you know and some conversation with uh some of our principles conversation with uh Mo'Nique um taking a look at some of the the data I don't know if you saw recently Governor Nome sent out a uh a notification urging cell phone restriction uh Tony Thurman superintendent Thurman

078also did the same thing um so in light of that you know we we do feel we need some um we need to make a more targeted effort at like the process and the policy before we make decisions about you know locking phones or Banning phones so we are going to go back to a little bit more of a strict cell phone policy um in our Upper Elementary it'll be all elementary our Upper Elementary where it's most prevalent as well as the Middle School um a little bit more I mean it gets a little more punitive than we like you know you have to do confiscation and parents pick phones up uh we used to do this uh we used to do this very well at the middle school with Banker bags and you mark

079them and you you store them and all of that um just to try to cut down for two things will happen a maybe that works it's least restrictive and we don't have to buy a bunch of boxes and and Store and Lock phones and then B you know the other option is it gives us some data points to see how prevalent this actually is and um or a majority of our students locking their phones up and or you know securing their phones in their backpacks and not using them I mean we need to get those data points before we make a more radical decision or more U you know yeah I guess radical is the right word more radical decision to lock phones up and actually ban phones physically so moving into the school year

080that's our plan um Monique was going to give a nice overview on some of that unfortunately she can't be here today so I'm just doing it in a much she would have done much better but uh I'm just doing let you know yeah you had sent an advisory to us about this which I appreciate it and I've been kind of pushing this a bit as well and I actually appreciate the pause to say what is the what does the data say and I'm wondering about one of the data points is what have we talked to the teacher so we got teachers feedback is this a problem in the classroom I I don't know um right and I'd like to I'd like to have that data point in addition to the other issues right so thank

081you okay that's it l that's oh no it's notg let me roll the scroll just a few things today I have a uh I want to say that you know I really appreciate you just want to to Echo you know you're your all commitment coming so we had our second board Workshop I think Nelson shared that so I I really want to thank you for the thoughtfulness of that um you know talking about policies talking about evaluations you know talking about priorities and all of that I think it's just really or you had some good conversations about how to best uh align some of those you know priority establishing priorities you know at least monitoring those priorities Etc so thank you for that I really appreciate you know you all I know it's a you

087awesome and things like that but when there's a question about something you know there's there's a place people are actually reaching out and getting responses or at least being directed in the place you need to go and I was I mean I texted her late one night said this is amazing and you're reading through it that's just a lot of time and attention um and more importantly care you know that goes into that wanting to solve and you wanting to be that piece and that support so I had to say that just because I saw it and I just felt it important to uh to put that out there um we also have I wanted to you know invite the board we are doing our opening dat um ceremony if you will that is on

093one the PB is it pbk I'm not looking at it I think it's pbk were two items pvk under receipts as well I'm sorry P two POS thank you um and I I guess with our conversation earlier I was a little confused as to I I for I know we approved I think actually approved in our last meeting I just was confused as to what we were covering with that I just forgot there's well are you talking about the actual approval of the pbk work or these particular expers on the on the actual receipts I mean they're both 300K it can you pull that up is that possible that you a one is for measure e additional funds 393,000 the other yeah so so I don't we'll pull that up but just keep in mind

094we bring items and I I would say of significance that are going to be over you know um we bring that to the board to report on those pieces this is an extra layer the PO report that will additionally put like the pbk may have come to board it was it was approved I remember it was especially inl the convers working ony and the yeah so the measure e da Vinci Cafe in kitchen that's the 339 that th000 that we discussed earlier that was brought brought up at the June 12th board meeting for approval and I can't see the other additional funds the one right above it says additional funds yeah it's uh no that's the original service agreement okay one says additional fund additional funds for 393,000 that was the one in June no

095the June was 339 correct I'm not sure what that additional funds ISS because we have not brought was it the uh the TK conversion are they doing that one too no or thek 135th in aviation can we look before we pass this item yep before should we recess for two minutes well I had a question on another item category and I have a so why don't you do yours yeah my my comment is regarding the 2425 diversity equity and inclusion resolutions I actually support all the resolutions that are um listed here obviously um these resolutions are issues that are important to to the to to our to our to they're important to this board um and um are issues that issues that we obviously feel that are important and we set we set the the

096general standards to ensure that we fulfill those those items if you will and then there's also the the the cultural groups that we want to recognize the um recognize them for their contributions to society um what I what I what I wanted to make with regards to comment and I guess it's a request is that I want to ensure and there's one for example that I'm looking at that I know is not on here and it's a recent proclamation of a of a resolution that the governor just signed in June regarding immigrants what I would like to do is is request the staff develop a criteria um and I I'm assuming that the criteria that we probably have in place right now is um issues that that come from this governing board that we feel

097that it's important um perhaps LA County Office of Education uh uh resolutions that maybe they passed that we follow um but I also want to make sure that whatever that criteria is it might be multiple it might be um items that are important to this board it might be local LA County resolutions that we also consider adopting or the state of California I want to come up with some criteria to ensure that we are not missing anything any particular resolution or missing any particular group so that's the request that I would have is that take a closer look and and make sure that we're looking looking at all those different enemies I know we talked about that too Nelson thank you for that and I I would say we do have a Dei working group

098with the district I think Monique can help she leads that Michelle's on it On's on it so I think that what I'll do is is work with Monique put together some some criteria um we did and we probably we're doing it it's it's a little bit more of a formalize it a little bit so that we all understand what that's okay so when something is on there you know it's passed through at least or some of process I would also want to share about this just to clarify this particular agenda we're not approving any language to these resolutions it's a set and so I'm just just clarifying that that's what we're doing here today yeah and I M can I just add to that that I was just happy to see you know we have

099there are some new things on here for this year um and I know that that was part of you know the conversations that came from the Dei committee and which includes parents and community members staff members and all of that so just you know thanks to Monique for all of her work and making sure that we were responsive there was also surveying that went out to folks to to do this and I think it it I feel like the list is very representative and responsive to some of the concerns we've heard in previous years and ensuring that we are continuing to live into those vision and values that we you know talk about um of recognizing everyone so I was really pleased to see the list that that ended up coming before us I just

100think we probably need to do a better job we need to do a better job of making sure you all know what this process is you know what are the surveys that are going out and you know it's a surprise to you so I know you know you know you've been involved in this process but I mean I think as a collective we should present to you exactly what that is um I also feel like this is a I I agree with your comments about Monique I think she put put a lot of time and energy into making sure that people are address and feeling included well I think it's the the selection process right because there you could do 20 different things in any given month right so then understanding what the selection process

101is once we have all of that input it would be great and and I do think Monique does a really nice job in presenting when these resolutions are before us um and personally I prefer her her recent approach of presenting and illustrating how we are implementing this as opposed to reading the resoltion because yeah because I think that's actions speak louder than words and think that that's a testament when we're seeing how how we're doing this each month at the respective School sites very helpful to have an idea of how this is rolled out and what this is actually look like for our yeah hi Noy hi sorry to answer your question I'm not sure why the PO listing is showing it that way but the 393 is made up of the original amounts for

102pbks original contract 300,000 for the 135th in aviation $775,000 for the soccer field project and $118,000 that we recently brought um as an amendment to their contract for um reimbursement of DSA fees they paid for the DSA fees and we were simply reimbursing them you add those up is 393,000 and the other 300 was the for the kitchen and Cafe correct thank you one other item was just and this is this seems so IMM material other numbers we're talking about but it is a process thing it's 99 on the volleyball polls and it made me wonder are we do we have a process to ensure any of the equipment that's used by people using our facilities are taking care of those facilities and are we observing if they're not and calling them to to help

103us with that or is it just I don't know if this nor standard where again this is a small expense but just the bigger picture of on our fields and everything how are we monitoring and making sure we're keeping everything in its best condition yeah we're constantly assessing the equipment this is something uh custodial staff are in that room on a regular basis they help out with the setup and tear down so uh we're regularly checking in um and we did get feedback um also from The Entity and then we were we were able to verify that I had pictures and so um but as we check in and we have good relationship shs with all the entities to kind and so they do tell us that there's some issues there and we usually work

104out collaboratively but overall all um custodial staff on a regular basis um since they're involved especially in the gym use um they're giv us yeah absolutely yep we have a Civic Center person one of our cons is meant for that Civic Center had so much use on there um and actually we may we should probably replace these nets even a little more than we do um because they do I mean you figure every day you have volleyball in that gym they're hit the Nets um these are high quality Nets but definitely something that they you know they wear out just I we have a process that was a question any other comments or questions on consent items all right all in favor hi hi fastic pulled for discussion as an item okay um action items

105General do I have a motion for 10.1 through 10.3 do we need to do District priority separately um oh shoot shoot I'm sorry yeah so no second B yeah yeah just 10 one did I do here good cat all right are we ready take it away go so yeah it is totally different yeah mind appr classified management Personnel that should have been 98 that one was mov that's why that's why I was like you can take these three yeah just yeah okay okay all right we good yeah okay it was mistyped on his on my vote thing it you yeah 101 doesn't say District priorities it repeats 918 yeah okay so we are um you know every year uh last year we did in September this year I'm we're trying to keep keep you know

106improving every year and we get it to a little bit earlier but um I want to thank uh obviously the how-to process I shared those meeting um dates with you all uh we have an opportunity to bring our teacher leaders together we have an opportunity to bring our district leadership together we have an opportunity to look at data um to look at our student assessment data look at star data also Gathering feedback from the school board um we gathered info on on the importance of mathematics for instance financial literacy um that Maggie is working on now as well as um student wellness and safety looking at our um wellness program so this year uh 2425 you'll see a document that looks very similar uh but as you know or you have seen in the past

107we do break our priorities into particular areas um teaching and learning covers our assurances of old child Future Ready um looking at Priority One to improving student achievement in English language art language arts through the continued implementation um growth and monitoring of research-based instructional practices highlighting that last phrase there because that's the change and I did share this um as we were looking over the review or the evaluation um of our priorities from last year uh that this spoke to readers and Writers Workshop in the past and we wanted to pull that out more as a strategy as one of these research-based instructional strategies but there's more uh because we're also looking at some literacy strategies science of reading um as as we know how important that is uh to students so anyway just showing

108that difference from 2324 to 2425 and then looking at the actions um they are a lot of them are Chang these are strategic actions under that priority utilizing uh leadership time teacher collab we're all we're calling all of it collaboration time so that it's aligned leadership collaboration time was formerly known as Adco um so when we talk about leadership uh collaboration time uh that would be our principal meetings uh at Co anytime we're bringing our leadership teams together um guiding coalitions obviously um we've heard of those teacher collaboration time uh which have been uh really really well used uh throughout our district for lesson development data analysis and looking this year at our mission critical uh PLC processes moving down uh we have a committee that's going to look and prioritize Elementary resources and our

109Focus you know we were talking about an adoption for the upcoming year for ELA but um you know did have some conversations with U at Services team um Maggie shared uh some some insight based on science of reading materials maybe not looking at a full adoption but looking at some of the literacy tools that are out there getting a team together to take a look at those um to bring back maintaining consistent Elementary Bell schedules that's a rollover from last year really looking that we have alignment between reading and writing and also being able to allocate those resources um that we may have whether it be intervention uh El supports um we we have that time um just to to be able to allot to that administering regular benchmarks we bring those to the board

110on a quarterly basis uh we'll continue to do those also using IAB blocks um and term assessment blocks and really continuing number five that is just so important is our WI time pod time at the middle school looking at ways that we're able to personalize we're able to differentiate instruction and we're able to use um assessment strategies to support suit growth this Tak a long time to click you really were mad at this thing priority we need clear priority two uh is mathematics this is a focused priority for this year again um it's improving students achievement in mathematics across grades TK to 8 identifying and utilizing High quality mathematics resources and teaching strategies with an intentional focus on positive student outcomes of mathematics you'll see that's also a highlighted portion it talks about CGI strategies

111and again pulling out that specific strategy we could place that in an action if we want but but really wanting to focus on um varied instructional strategies that may support student outcomes positive student outcomes um moving on to this enhancing lesson plan and data analysis again guiding coalition TCT sessions leadership collaboration conducting math Focus trainings uh we have Eureka Square I know Maggie and her update shared that we're going to have an intro to Eureka Square coming up we have our coach and mentors really happy that we had an additional coachen um fellowship at Aviation uh which is really nice we also have Emma renic or Emma Smiley sorry over at at delir maintaining grade level aligned math instruction with strategies um through teacher support release days this is going to allow us to build

112common assessments it's going to allow us to have conversations about about lesson implementing star math and in assessments again some of this the same we bring this back to the board so that you could sort of see what the progress is throughout the school year uh we also will be developing those common formative assessments as part of our PLC process uh we're going to continue utilizing math framework common core standards and CGI there it is in the in the actual actions for lesson design and practice practices refining and expanding win in pod time going to see that over and over again or at least from the first to the second just how important this time is repeating what I said on the last slide it's about that personalization you can see it here for personalized

113support mathematics um and being able to accelerate if we need to you know being able to offer some enrichment for students that may get it U be able to support those that may not providing ongoing coaching and resource implementation through the math specialist and tosa you see that for the first time we did post and close a mathematics tosa for the Middle School um Nisha when are we doing that interview do you know uh next week next week y okay we're gonna so hopefully have somebody in place next week so that we can uh start that process so we're adding to the to the support system here um at the middle school and then uh focusing on that adoption this year um research shows that those these new resources do yield positive student outcomes really

114want to make sure teachers are supported in that make sure that uh you know those those uh series are rolled out and that we have the the right support for that then priority number three this is improving student access and achievement in science um we did pull this out and you know what next year we will Elevate and stem Scopes that is the curriculum um looking at adding new Digital Arts course for sixth grade at weisburn middle school and that's going to focus on coding so that's uh something the board has actually brought to us in the past wanting to look at C coding as this new language um or not as a new language but as a language being able to provide those opportunities for students to do that earlier and earlier using tech

115labs Este steam Labs um integrating ngss activities and coding as part is as part of students venturing to those steam Labs so that you're getting that that U that instruction there as well providing professional learning for wisor middle school science teachers um to really enhance that crossgrade planning St in that articulation so that the story of sence really is aligned across six seventh and eth grade incorporate incorporating our interm assessment blocks I shared that again those are the that's really the the extent of the of that data point that we can get back other than common formative assessments that we'll get back through uh the PLC process moving on to the next big block Stu student safety and wellness uh we believe this Falls or you know we we have categorized this under the assurances

116of community and collabor option and it's looking at this in two ways the priority reads ensures school safety and engage students in authentic ways that bolster trust connection and an overall well-being through a collaborative process that includes educational Partners the highlighted piece is the addition or the change so looking um at safety we kind of pulled out safety separately this is dealing more with like the physical safety of a campus or or or you know being in in line with uh law enforcement agencies you see that regular dialogue with local law enforcement I'm happy to share that our Middle School um and I believe Upper Elementary School will participate in a basketball program with Hawthorne police and other middle schoolers and upper elementary students across Hawthorne uring all staff complete outlas Violet critical incident training

117um that's become a part of our training uh you know the really how we deal with any type of um active or violent incident that happens on on campuses certifying U an internal leadership team for nonviolent Crisis Intervention training that's new um this is awesome this is our opportunity to be able to train as many people as we can in non- Crisis Intervention how to deal with kids are having a tough day and it becomes physical or it doesn't how do you deescalate uh Mo'Nique again helped put this on with Kim you know Kim's here as well and their leadership put together a group of of train of uh group of folks who went through the Train the trainer model so they could come back so we have that that resource here on our campuses

118to be able to train folks here when's that training camp I'm sorry I should should have for for NCI train when's our NCI tomorrow tomorrow avation um annually reviewing and updating our comprehensive safe school plans and I want to point out too it's not just about emergency response it's also about your your goals for a safe site and your goals for student wellness that's all part of the comprehensive safe School plan oftentimes people get it confused that it may just be what you do if there's a fire what you do if there's an earthquake or or whatnot but it really does require uh School leadership to take a look at their School site what what proactive uh measures are you going to take to make sure that it stays safe that that the site that

119the site itself the physical space is safe um and also what are we doing to create connected environments you know what are we doing for students that they feel connected to the site monitoring and refining safety upgrades we are doing a massive overhaul of our PA systems massive overhaul of our camera systems um thanks to the community uh who who helped by passing the bond conducting crisis communication team meetings and tabletop exercises the the goal of this so that there's not a surprise at 10 o'clock at night you know on a on a Wednesday and all of a sudden there's a threat we're addressing a 10 and don't know how to address it and now we're flipping through papers and calling and and and in a state of of uh crisis or Panic even rather

120than in a state of confidence uh from having been through it or drilled it so we're going to go through that we did start that last year Jason helped lead that process we're going to move into it again this year with a little bit more Vigor making sure that we have those protocols and processes in place and then hosting meetings uh with principles to Res review the safety plan updates um those end up coming back to the board we also do review those with law enforcement so we'll send those over to HPD we'll send those over to the County Fire um and uh the county sheriff for review and then student wellness so that was safety now we look at student wellness and so we broke this up into five uh SWS is our student

121wellness and safety that's what that's that's what we call it that's our acronym one of the many um so our SWS practices um and education we're launching capturing kids Hearts such a huge launch this year uh starts again next week staff training student engagement there's going to be regular family communication and there's processes and surveys by which we can uh sorry there are surveys which will provide us a process to monitor you know we can gather data and we could present that data to the board as well as look at it at our leadership um as we engage in PLC processes at the district leadership level looking at the counseling program we're going to update protocols for more effective counseling intervention um really working on that next phase which is strengthening that triage uh to

122identify those students that are in need I know Neil you've talked about that you know how are we how are we looking and and finding those students strengthening interventions at each tier and enhancing data driven practices for ongoing monitoring um you know we do have a very healthy counseling staff U very proud of the counseling team and and just excited to see their work moving on to attendance um attendance is King attendance is money um but more importantly attendance is a good way to to kind of tell whether a student is filling connected to school right A lot of times when you look at student engagement and research you're looking at attendance you're looking at whether a student wants to be there so we're revising practices implementing attendance intervention Suite that's part of Power School

123the board already adopted that um we're yet to put it into practice it'll go into practice this year um that's just a more proactive way of getting information out to families and for us to be able to gather data quicker on students attendance patterns um and behaviors training staff on that streamlining Communications again as I part of The Suite which is streamlining that communication between families in the school and then looking at our culture and climate Dei particularly um we're looking at establishing that Dei statement part of this uh our working group and our Dei committee uh would help do that updating our policies related to equity and inclusion and probably could add to this then looking at our resolutions and how are we doing that I think that all fits into this um you

124know into this particular uh strategic action and um overall just trying to find ways to educate staff students and the community and really celebrate inclusive ity and diversity and then Behavior like we shared our new cell phone sort of pathway or path Journey towards cell phone uh restrictions um and those and those Behavior practices and you know we know we need to provide um staff training um not only on cell phone but also on Behavior Uh management and looking at PBIS processes looking at our restorative practices and then monitoring that through Educator's handbook which this board also um approved I think at last last meeting so we have a district uh Educators handbook platform so we can gather data again and see that holistically and then lastly um the priority are is organizational strength pretty

125easy one to to categorize as one of our insurances organizational strength and uh ensuring that we demonstrate organizational strength through Business Service practices human resource practices um that are Equitable effective and systems oriented we know this was an area especially in business services and the small district is very challenging and so we did take some time over the last few years um to start doing or to to refine those to evolve those practices in the area of Human Resources uh looking at um a deputy superintendent who's sitting here she should have you should have presented this and three executive directors two of them are here and one of them was going to present on on online she's not here but um she she told me she wishes she could be here uh we implemented new

126meeting protocols uh to look at our cross Department Communications and resource monitoring uh you know how we have meetings as a leadership team is really important um how we have meetings with with staff is really important so we're just continually looking at those processes uh we are continuing so happy we're continuing the quarterly collaborative meeting with our employee groups this year we are going to change that we're actually going to provide um the notes I guess or the minutes or whatever you know Neil you had brought this to me as well I think You' had a conversation you brought some that question so we are doing that as part of a four times we'll release an internal newsletter we do that anyway this gives us the content to actually make it more meaningful we think

127so uh we'll have this quarterly collaborative our our labor Partners will come in we we'll be able to talk through some of the issues talk about good things too and then we'll put that in the newsletter um we're going to continue employee the year program um workshops career Etc and then uh ensure position control that's something that you know up to a couple years ago um you know Nisha was Nisha was really uh instrumental making sure we did a better job of that I don't want to say we didn't do it I'm gonna say we do a much better job of it now so always want to keep that there and then in the business service department uh we lost cost centers we've been talking about that making sure that each department understands and is

128trained on how to manage their particular cost center how to keep within the budget um it's been in important process um you know particularly in the area of special education um but also in all of our departments and so that's that's something that's rolled out looking at Power School AIS I already talked about this this is the uh attendance system that we just purchased through power school and that again part of business it's important in Business Services because as I said attendance is is you know really relates to our money so reviewing our Ada adjusting Staffing is needed and really looking at the boosting enrollment uh and marketing so implementing LBG and amim grants during the 2425 school year um you all have seen those plans um you've approved those plans uh we're excited to

129roll those plans out and so part of this process in any time always maintaining you know excellent um books on those onetime dollars making sure that we're following those plans if there's adjustments we bring those back to the board or to leadership teamc so that'll be a a goal for this year beginning the implementation and ongoing Arts Grant that's prop 28 um so no we have money there and we haven't really spent this is something that which is okay it's just something that you know we want to make sure we get it right want to make sure that that um you know we're using the funding the right way so we are going to spend some time this year making you know making sure that we do that uh we do have a desire at

130the middle school to really look at digital media arts basically and and figuring out a way to utilize a library and leverage that as a as a career uh sort of as a career connected learning type opportunity that's ongoing money yes that is yeah absolutely so you could yes and so you could pay for personnel um and then looking at a comprehensive cleaning evaluation to ensure um safe and clean campuses something you should do and I know it it seems like why is that a Strate strategic action it's important it's important to make sure you have the right tools we walk the campuses today you know these campuses are big and and some of them are you know they have their U they're us so we need to make sure we have the right tools

131we need to make sure sure we have the right runs we need to make sure we have you know the right flow so to speak of of cleaning and and so forth um so getting somebody to come in and actually go over the space go over the square footage go over the you know the cleaning techniques tell us what we may um maybe should buy you know what tools may make it easier you know I always say you know cleaning is as good as as obviously the people but it's also important to have the right tools to be able to do the job so we want to make sure that's there to like just a question sure um I know we we talked before about hiring a new music teacher in the elementary school but

132I don't remember having the conversation about the art teacher is that supposed to be music it's supposed to be a music teacher yes I'm sorry yes I I guess we called it art okay it's in the Arts okay all right I just wanted to make sure it was the same thing art I know that that probably on my part right yeah sorry about that yeah yes it is an elementary Music Arts musical artsarts um and then looking down at the uh at the bottom expanding District Communications um really we need to focus on website development now and that's not only developing our main Central website which looks great and needs work um because as the deeper you get into it the deeper you know it needs uh it needs some some TLC but also looking

133at our school websites and making sure each of our school sites um School site websites have um are are fully kind of built out crisis communication's important I shared about the tabletop exercises we also want to make sure we're circling up on crisis communication and then um our internal communication so all of this of course a CBO would say while balancing budget constraints you could have left that out of there anyway thank you thank you for taking the time uh to listen to that um and I just want to say I want to thank the team um for letting me do all the Talking thank you no thank you for for putting in the time and reading this and and and putting you know this is uh I know it's me talking but it's not

134me doing and it's not me that put this together um I just appreciate them for for what they've done and help I have one technical question I should have asked it when you want me to go back to certain place any of the slides because there was like on this one there are some that are highlighted and some that aren't can you just remind me why it was the highlighted ones are totally new okay the ones that aren't are not okay are continuing ones okay one one observation clarification all the numbers are a little lost but first of all terrific work this is great it's not infinite it's it is pretty focused but I think there's an additional focus on top of this as I understand the priorities above all are Ela math and social

135well student wellness and safety so we have um yeah kind of gets lost in it is you're right true so on the document that you'll that you're adopting today it there are three priority Focus thank you for clarifying that deal one is Ela but it's specific to literacy so when we talk about Ela and that's why you know we're going to spend some time with our TK to3 uh group really looking at those resources related to literacy and and pulling that out and that's why one of those strategic actions was um is that literacy text is looking at um science of reading and looking at what what tools are are out there for us to maybe boost um literacy partly because we understand and in our communication if you can't read you can't do math

136and so making sure that that foundational skill uh of reading is is there for our students of course continuing with math which is second priority Focus um the addition of the tosa is probably one of our larger commitments to that plus the utility of our new resource you know this is the first year we'll see that um we'll see that resource out in action so excited about that too and yes strategic uh or priority Focus two and then priority Focus three is our student wellness and safety continues it's hard to say that that shouldn't ever always be a you know even if we're scoring 100% math our number one Assurance got to do it right um so anyway so those are yes so those are the three um it's outlined and highlighted within the document

137that you're actually U and that document will get posted to our website and I'll change it on I'm sure I'll give this presentation more and I'll make sure I I highlight somehow change the numbering or something in here instead of it's kind of lost so tell me tell me what you mean by that just so I make sure here we have one two three four priorities go back to another one which is Priority One I even the document that we're seeing that's in the materials it's priority one item four like what oh so like maybe do ABC something just you really get lost in 41 two okay I see okay sure or even in Den you know something something all right yeah all right but good stuff excited really excited I think we're done ton

138thank you and maybe they're not priorities it might be the naming convention well well done Blake and thank you thank you the cabinet I know there's a lot of work that goes in uh in in this and that I know everyone contributed um and as Michelle said earlier there you have it there's the road map and I think it's really important that we communicate that to the entire District so we have they everyone has an understanding of the direction and the road that we're going going towards this year so thank you L you're welcome thank you good Stu and I think I had a motion in a second on item do I have uh all in favor I fantastic was that just 10 one 10 one um do I have a motion for 10.2 through

13910.3 for General items thank you Michelle second thank you Neil all in favor itic believe next item is facilities and I think we could take facilities also so uh 11.1 through 11.3 if there's no objection objection a couple questions thank you Neil a motion do have a second second thank you Rebecca Neil you have a questions um 111 just reminded me of our naming policy and made me wonder this really isn't the it's more of a question of philosophy um would we want to put there's two things and these are very one a QR code on the fence to get to get information on the school right next to the logo for example just a simple thing but also Mak me wonder are there ways we could offset costs of the fence with advertising and

140I'm not excited about advertising but I am looking at offsetting costs and so I don't know if that's something I want to look at as part of our signage conversation and evaluation maybe even a W logo I don't know but I'm just thinking I'd like to propose that we think think about this as our whole signage naming protocol and policies so uh just had a piggyback comment about the about that it just made me think I saw at one of the schools that we have like there's one of the local organizations has put a a a banner over the sign um so yeah it's not over the local but it's a it's like the it's over the fence which is which has been something that's happened in the past right when the the fencing has

141been up and then people hang banners and stuff so just making sure that our Banner policy is updated to and what the approval is I know we've previously had that it was it's on Isis um but group is it like to know I'm not trying to single anybody else but to the point about you know allowing people to pay to put something up or to advert you know if it's our local groups that are using the fields because they need to generate their um you know uh registrations and getting people involved like what's the policy around around that and just hanging stuff so yeah this nameing policy is becoming biger it is it's very is it all kind of is in the same field of you know some of it is monetary and you know

142so well I think it's also yeah it's also the distinction of like we put up the the the fencing for safety reasons right like the and so if we're allowing people to put something on top of it you know like does that interfere with the the fencing that we've just paid for or the you know both the aesthetic from the aesthetic perspective but also from the safety perspective for which the the the Privacy Screen essentially was put in place so I think Jason had this was uh something we did address last spring and we met with all the entities um we gave a kind of a drop dead date we're taking all the manners off or they need to remove them um I have a protocol that we're for this the purposes of hanging banners

143like the size how long they should be up because there was just pieces we we knew there were banners that were up too long the one you're talking about I don't know about yet so we will definitely address that immediately um but this will be part of our brand new it's brand new so I will find out address but we do have a protocol that's uh you know just again when they should hang in how long it should be up there and the size of the banner of those pieces so when we meet with our the entities coming up which we're going to have a meeting because we're implementing facilitron and so they're going to be expected to put all these pieces into that as far as a use agreement and all those pieces but

144uh yeah so we'll address and we do a protocol okay because I think the one other thing which that I noticed last year was it looked like some of the leagues got sponsors and they were hanging sponsor banners that were not just their own so I just wanted to make sure that like the folks know about what the like policy is around that kind of thing if we're doing sponsorship well there's two things there too whether the entity is getting a sponsor so therefore they you know they know that the entity got money we didn't they put that up because of that I think we do I I want to acknowledge Dr Goldman's uh comment because you know is this a something we should be doing and getting revenue for so I think there's a

145protocol to be explored we could look at that and digital signage uh also goes into this you know it's not it's one thing to make the signs but now what goes on those signs is there a fee for those signs you know a billboard yeah okay thank you I know thank you and then my other question on these items do with the piggy potentially on a Turk I know there's two piggy back items and I know people like do yeah I don't we don't have that here yet and I don't know if that was in the plans what I'm sorry the actual no no no no it's it's it's a piggyback so we we had we the district used to have an active piggyback for example with Mora pools that has since expired and it's

146obviously to the benefit of the district to reactivate it or um establish a new one because we obviously get a percentage of every single and that's what we're doing here and that's exactly what we're doing now um we're doing the same with tenti so that any future District that's why I'm asking yeah right so 2.5% for Mera the district will benefit for every single purchase and then 3% of the total cost of all materials equipment and services purchase by other districts or the turf so the piggybacks are being approved by this action item perfect we're not buying it we're just the name of the turf company in here so other other name of the tur yes well name of is uh Valley position Grady is that the actual physical material yes it's a sub company

147of that's that's why I was confused because I didn't recognize the what's the name again of the oral valion no no the that's what I was looking for I'm like well isn't that that's why I was confused thank you that that was it thank you so this is for providing and installing Go full deal yeah full great great that's fabulous sure so so by approving these two P back contracts it allows other districts right no I mean allows other districts to utilize advantageous price corre negotiated price and and then we get a percentage of that quicker installation yeah okay um comments or any other comments or questions in the all on that that's great yep okay so all in favor hi fantastic fiscal let's see here um fiscal items look 12 I don't see any

148reason why we can't take 12.1 12.4 got a motion no moved than backa second I do want Neil uh I think comment from Blake yeah 12.4 I want to comment on Erica recorder creative I should say ER she's now J she's gone uh she's gone business um we are um we I I shared in a board update that we're looking to to bring back you know probably another 80 to 100K um for for you know for her Services we just needed a block of money to get going for the school year um we are trying to find ways to um get more strategic we showed you some of our uh our you know strategic actions our plan for next year looking at our website design there's things that we need Erica to do that she
