008you. intermediate school guidance. Um, in your packet tonight, you have a contract for our intermediate uh, guidance counselor. The biggest change in the contract is um, as responsibilities have changed for the counselors and scheduling over the years. We found uh, that she really needs more days uh, to be able to work in the summer. to be honest, she has just worked in the summer and past without being paid for it because of the timeline for scheduling classes and student schedules. So, um that's the biggest change in the contract contracts between the school corporation and Denise Gully. >> Correct. on Tuesday, January. >> Yes. So, we have to go back and change that.

Um this is something that we started working on um almost 15 years ago. Um with the need of pushing to one consolidated campus through the pillars of making sure that student safety was first and foremost in building a project
010that would not result in a tax increase for our taxpayers. Um, everybody knows the history and knows that we made an attempt at this for with project 24 only to not be able to meet um those pillars. We could not come up with a design that would allow us to uh maintain a tax neutral project. So, we went right back to the drawing board and started over. Um, tonight's recommendation brings us to that point where we do have a design, we do have bids, we do have a schedule that would allow for us to complete a one campus project in a tax neutral way. Um, tonight I would make the uh request of the board that we approve a that you consider and approve a not to exceed price of $39 million to complete our
011project. That is um again tax neutral. We do not think that it will get all the way up to that. That gives a little bit of space. Um, and if this is approved, I'm very excited to start getting videos, information, virtual tours, all that fun stuff out here by the first of the year. >> Mr. President, I'll make the motion to accept up to 39 million or make the allotment of up to 39 million >> not to exceed 39 million.
