001indivisible with liberty and justice for all ah thank you very much this will be the final meaning of 2022 2023 here we're closing out and then shortly so we will now adjourn the 22 23 board uh business yeah and it's been no business owner business forehead spaces now we'll call the the report 23 24 Board of Education called order and as there any addition um okay you have your consent agenda motion for representative motion to approve the agenda as presented thank you for your second it was like second is your new discussion here's the phone number on your computer six zero thank you that's great so who would be doing this the presentation that would be Danielle Armitage Who is the SOS prevention prevention education coordinator she's been doing this for over 12 years and

002she's wonderful in the classrooms um so kindergarten all the way through high school yes just once a month with each and very honestly I I see this as a start okay obviously will depend on how things go in each of the schools but if we can increase the time we're in the classrooms all the better um one thing I just really want to stress is everything that Danielle does and in all age-appropriate so this curriculum comes out of Florida a smarter state for kids it's from Lauren's kids if any of you are familiar with Florence kids it's a it's research based it's what we need in schools and it's all age-appropriate from from little ones all the way up to high schoolers the more Danielle can get in the classrooms that would included that everyone

003like it we see when she goes into grade schools in different communities and we see the the Rapport that she connects makes with them these kids come up and hug her and oh it's Danielle's here and they will talk about what they learned the time before and it's um I think you guys understand that you know a lot of times for your parents tell you to do something it's like yeah whatever your teacher tells you to do something yeah but miss Danielle can come in and then it solidifies what Mom and Dad and teacher have already told me and it really in our opinion prevention is where it's at that's what we want we want SOS to be put out of business as possible and just administrators are not here tonight because again they don't

004is board meeting they are all 100 in support of this they've worked this into sched I think the library once a month with Elementary k-4 and then five through eight if I remember right is a cheaper counselor and the Freshman uh the ninth grade is going to be during the physical education time as well for everybody it kind of ties in it kind of ties in a little bit with our counseling You Know lesson type scenarios um but again we're working to try to price it fit it into a schedule how does it tie in the um uh what's the bear happy bear papa bear thank you very very similar yeah okay we actually do happy birthday yeah you spoke we spoke originally around January but we had said that recent I mean when was

005that first part of June Maybe right it would have been major maybe yeah anime I guess yeah exactly so so I I think I think this is a really I say really positive program that's again preventative it's kind of like having our SRO a school resource officer in our buildings it's good they make connections preventative making good choices emphasize more than just like once every year or two years so and you know how this is fun it's it's all free through us through SLS we are all Grant funded so it all comes down from federal and statement yeah so typically you know going back to this this guy that I've set in on he was a Salesman he charges I'm like we have our own resources right here we need to get we need to

006get them in okay I mean it is what it is he's great don't be your own he's got a good speech and to bring him in for an assembly probably a good idea you know but I'm like we don't need this once a year we need this we need this now and so okay and so go ahead so it was the sheriff's also be involved in this minute too yeah I would you know I've given my sros involved but I've worked with Danielle over the years as well and and I would be involved as well as much as I could as far as time will allow yes I don't know that I'll make every class or but I definitely would be more than happy to set in foreign we do have an advocate here in

007Burlington too her name is Nicole Frye and she usually works with the adults with domestic violence and sexual assault cases that come in but she could accompany Danielle as well just to make sure that her base is out there um more information no they choose to too so we send like this with a form like um there is a there is a letter that's basically all ready to roll and give it to each administrator and they can send it out as needed perfect right I think it helps to meet like more of that social emotional piece too what type of students definitely very good and and you would start this in win yeah you were saying January I'm sorry yeah we originally started immediated in this meeting again okay I I want to thank everybody

008for the support as well it it means a lot to me and so I'm hoping I hope this helps I really do thank you for doing the working yeah you'll see kids talking remembering and using the curriculum it's pretty exciting to see that thank you guys you're more than welcome to stay um I have one more question so because we may get asked this but our parents allowed to come and we always keep at least a teacher or a parent in the room with Danielle whoever want Danielle another by herself there needs to be another adult but if a couple of parents want to drop by and sit down that's perfect just because women asked too is it curriculum available on anything yes you can Google it on Lauren's kids that's what I used to

009do in Arizona so okay so yeah that's the same place all over the fight foreign potential bigger bigger unfortunately so anyway thank you Christy could you pull out the other this is a list of things that we are doing this summer I'm not going to go over like everything you know in depth but if you have questions the elementary school office is really really nice Furniture uh I think we do probably we look to do that this next year it's going to be really really nice the color that they put in there and the carpet really looks good the parking again is not our parking that's the county taking care of that parking for us but it's kind parking you know for us as well we'll have some trees determine if you'll notice on that

010third I think it's the the third side of the bes parking there's a gap there where they took those two dead trees out and that one little tree there I think it's going to take off and explode uh I'm on Sly or you know that's okay and they've got it as well but that one little three there that's gonna I think it's going to take off and grow slide four that one right there and so anyway um the the library carpet and painting is done they did an accent wall red accent wall which really kind of ties in with their colors and they're going to a trim color of black in the building so a lot of the green that you've seen in the past is going away it's going to be black in there

011so you'll see some gray and black and there's a red accent along the library so it looks really nice um staff Lounge will put in new ceiling tiles in there they got new epoxy floor last year probably looked in time to do something with the countertops because those are old foreign [Music] why who picked that um we're looking at a countertop that may be like a gray with red flecks in it is kind of that recycled glass look possibly and so it'll look nice nice the besidl rooms getting new carpet uh it looks really good in there uh there's some paint projects going on at the elementary school just freshening things up it's you know putting new paint put new carpet down it just uh looks really really good there's some stumps I think four

012of them that got removed when those two dead trees I got taken care of so they're not allowed a safety issue for any kids shipping onto the Middle School new concrete there uh from just I say concrete that was just getting old and tired and flaking and chipping and cracking and breaking off the there was a pretty bad area right as you exit the middle school right there and I say that first exit not when you go down to the high school but there was some hot concrete there that was really in bad shape as well you'll notice it's uh it looks much much better some paint projects the middle school as well they just like I say just bring things to life the facts room is getting the cabinet boxes painted I put the

013old carpet down that the epoxy floor is finished it looks really nice in here they started actually painting um cabinets doors drawers the boxes today um so it's really good Sean sharp is doing the painting for us local painter and he's been really good to work with I think I'm sorry well I want to talk a little more about the Middle School kitchen floor here I've shared this with you in the Friday notes um so we had and you can kind of see in that first picture on the left if you'll go one more please Middle School kitchen next one that that picture on the left there is a transition piece there evidently where way back when they added on in that and into the building so you see kind of there's a there's a

014transition joint there that I open it we thought we had a water leak under there we do not there's no water leak we've let this open for the we've left it open for the last four weeks thank goodness we don't have water leak there but that transition piece and and you can kind of see there's a discoloration in the Middle where you see it's a little darker there that four prep really didn't get done as well as it should it's amazing quite honestly they said that it's lasted this long so the title started buckling this this this uh this winter and it wasn't really that bad but it started to and as the more that you again scrub the floor clean the floor it's a kitchen so it's going it's getting mopped every day it

015started popping buckling and it just kept going on that transition piece needed to be floor prepped much better so we're working on getting that uh that four area done in one of three ways and I shared with you one and we'll do a quick patch and repair just it's going to be like potentially like eighteen hundred dollars just to patch and repair until we make a whole four kitchen area done we can go back with Corey tile that's what that's called quarry tile it's lasted a long time it still looked pretty good other than yours buckling that's going to be approximately about sixteen thousand dollars and I'm waiting to find out if that's half of the kitchen with a whole kitchen or we can go with a flooring that's going to have a little bit

016more I'm going to say it's still a hard surface but it's having a little give to it it's a little bit easier potentially on our cooks and their legs there's shins their knees it just has a little bit it's it's just it's the newest thing and it it it's something that we could look at doing it's like nineteen thousand dollars The Proposal was given to me on Friday I called the guy today he was busy in order to get back to me um to be able to try to see is it half of that area where you can kind of see in that picture on the right or is it the whole kitchen area in that in that middle school there's there's three different titles in that area where the the kitchen is where the

017cafeteria is so it's kind of where do you stop but you got to try to figure out that that piece of where you start but uh we're working and we're gonna have that done they have told us that they can get this done before August 10th in one of three different ways so my preference would be either to do the quarry tile or to do the um I can't remember the name of the floor and the flooring that has the little bit more softer give to it so anyways how come we're not doing the epoxy like well the problem is with epoxy I can't get the guys here to get to do that possibility solid I would love to do it and if we want to do the eighteen hundred dollar piece this is the

018patch and repair and have them come in and do it whenever we could get them to do it we could go that route um and then the epoxy I'm trying to figure out where it would blend with the tile it's hard to take Mark um I've had matte spring and margarito and myself all looking like okay where do you start where do you start I'm ready to stop I mean it's a challenge I don't know if we were to do like the whole cafeteria epoxy then it would just be a no-brainer you just do the whole thing and you can kind of just you know you wouldn't have to have a stop and start of this this is the challenge for this this area good question do we use fatigue mats in there right now

019yes there are some there are but they've got to pick them up take them down they may not have to uh the gentleman I spoke to with Country Carpet John Ross is his name John said people love this this new flooring and I'm drawing blank on the name of it but they just they notice a difference you can tell the difference with your legs it's kind of just just feels different so again working on some sort of you know one of like say one of those two options ideally I'd rather not just do a patch and repair for 1800 I don't really want to do that if we were going to go ahead and do epoxy in there and then maybe that would be the way to until we get to the epoxy next year

020my question would be if that new floor you're talking about I guess it would still require weakness um they say they don't necessarily use them yeah and some people some people are talking about does it still require the stigma should you still put the feedback yeah rubber mats yeah I mean with the new floor where do we start to stop right until that transition it really is it really it's like when are we supposed to do it again really good shape I do not have it in the seven in the plan the the flooring is called protect all protect all flooring is what it's called so yeah well I kind of well I like the idea of it works with and when what they can do the whole floor you say you don't know what

021yeah I'm not sure if this proposal is just the area there where it's it's needing to be fixed essentially it's half of the kitchen area after the kitchen area that needs to be replaced and it in this proposal it says full replacement so I'm not sure if that means full we replace it meaning the whole entire kitchen area that's kind of what I I want to verify that with him and he just didn't get back and touch it well it it possibly or is that is that his proposal when it says full replacement does that mean the whole kitchen area and not just the half that's damaged so I'm getting more information on this uh but he did say he could get this done um they've been good to us we've been good to them

022um with the different foreign projects so anyway I first wanted to say I don't know anything about floors we could figure out okay okay uh High School some concrete projects there again that are done around the stadium that was much much much needed around the stadium that was chipping really really bad it looks really nice Burlington construction's done a really good job during the construct during the concrete piece though we did have some electrical that was in metal conduit instead of PVC the metal conduit was rotted the electrical wiring was rotting we were lucky that actually that this got identified at this point in time otherwise we might have been at a football game and had electrical and our sewage detector pumps might not be working or our lights might not be working but it

023would not have been good but it was pretty it was pretty amazing to see what what that looked like after they they got to that source and I'm sure it's code was not to use metal conduit it was more of a PVC thing but sometimes the code in the 70s Wild Wild West sometimes with codes and code enforcement so anyway what year was The Stadium built uh 80 actually in the 80s 70s and 80s yeah construction but this was after that but it's the stadium so that red was gonna fix that still yeah yeah we're waiting for them to do the concrete then we're power wash it for whatever reason that we'll talk about it yeah I don't know we're gonna have to wire brush yeah probably maybe just to start hitting right the weather

024or something yeah somebody also suggested so I know that we have the spikes it just about so we have those spikes in the stadium because the Sterlings like to yes they do so he wondered about getting up on the top because we have this all this new gray tank I know because now they sit up on that top head and if you put the spikes up on that ledge like that top on the roof yes we may have to do that then they because they're up there yeah it's like we moved them so so we have spikes where are the spikes currently they are on that opening there's two openings to the right to the left of the Press Box because they are so better and they poop everywhere and they don't do it now

025because of the spikes these little spikes but you may have to put that's interesting and now they're sitting on the edge of the roof and they're I know I know so he had he said you know you really should because he had suggested better when we did so if you put spikes up there they won't approach them I mean like that I did not talked to Jeff but Jeff helped us with those spikes the first wave of spots I'll talk to him he had suggested hey because he goes up there a lot to work out so he's like is that all this awesome new paint and now they're starting again thank you for that sorry yeah and the red paint I noticed the red paint it has to be the weather or something well I

026I just I think for whatever reason we just need to rough it up a little bit and then we're going to power wash it because there was some concrete uh just some concrete dust and stuff from the job so that's coming soon it's in our paint crew [Music] Jesse Chandler and Brenda art all employees of ours um they're paraprofessionals Food Service uh employees that are paying for us and doing classrooms some of the main projects you've seen they've been really terrific so um some epoxy flooring middle school or High School excuse me the hallways look just awesome it's done right done well unifloor has done a really really good job these activity hallway door skins the class of 2023 wants to do this with some of the men they have left over kind of leave

027a legacy if you will so I think that is terrific and these are going to be in the activity doorway entrances and it kind of erased the Wildcats the lady cats love to wear the red and gray and that doesn't cost us a penny is coming from the class of 2023 so yeah yeah it's like a skin and a vinyl yeah sweet I thought it was already there not that yet those are pictures they just it how they would look it looks like they're done but they're not done yet just first for sure because yeah oh yeah perfect there should be an exercise on the top though yeah but today you said your doors no but we got to check out I'm glad you guys yeah that's a good that's enough sometimes you can put

028buy a and spray over it too like those types of things like curtains and so on so forth but I will do some checking on it I don't know um next one is the again Wildcat Stadium bleacher project if you haven't been up to see that wow like on the picture on the left most of that is after they had power rush if you see the the picture of the bleacher seating on the right and the the seats closest to the track there and that's the way the concrete looked before the other section before they power rushed it and got all that junk out of there and it it does look really nice excellent excellent job it's a mid Continental restoration before it's out of Fort Scott we have a new wrestling mat a lot

029of the lady cats and Wildcats on there um it's just amazing um there's no tape on these right like you snap together so you have to go out there yes I do believe that because I I don't know that for sure these mats okay the mats that they use there's even more well the wrestlers parents you know they're heavy heavy mats these are um Dura something I can't remember what they're called they're uh but they're much much lighter oh gosh you can move and you don't you don't worry about it's getting hurt they come in smaller sections as you can kind of see instead of just roll a whole mat you're trying to lift it with 20 guys and you just fearful somebody's gonna get hurt these are much lighter weight and much more easy

030to move mats so um it looks like there's texture to it is that just I think it's just the picture just the way the way the the way the picture or the angle uh uh I think I haven't been in there to see them yet pretty enliven in person I just got the picture so anyway and in the bathroom High School band room with new LED lighting we finished up that started that project back in spring break finished it up um anyway so a lot of things happening guys a lot of things happening that are terrific uh improvements I can't wait for the staff and students to see the things that we've done that are just amazing so one other thing last thing I had and this was kind of one of those things that

031pop up I did I'd mentioned this to you though in the last couple weeks on Fridays we have the opportunity and James was actually able to join us this Friday for the opportunity to have a couple of activity buses that are coming off of lease that are a tremendous buy if and the relationships that we have had built up with bus bus vendors paint and flooring contractors and so on so forth this is another example these two buses coming off of uh off of a lease situation that 20 or 2017 buses with about 54 55 000 miles on there on the they would list over 200 000 brand new and two are like twins they came from the Dallas Texas area they don't need anymore they're getting new so anyway these these buses would put

032us in a situation where we would not have to have I'm gonna say a bus purchase for the next five years I'm not budgeting we were able to purchase these two if we get rid of two older buses that we don't use as an in-4 seat count in the case of just an emergency situation and they would help us with our route buses because we wouldn't have to use route buses for activity buses James was able to join us to take a little test drive on Friday it's kind of came up short of the moment you sometimes you just never know they got this bus in the dealer brought it straight here without even cleaning it and it looked like it was clean I mean it was like it was really really nice even though

033they hadn't hadn't even cleaned it when we picked it up it's it's we had to add some features on it that just is not a typical school bus I mean it was you know the seats where you have two seats sit together you could actually slide one seat out so the wider body posts like we actually stew you have a little more room in there it was good and actually they could recline the seats could recline and uh plenty of walk away through there just uh USB and then you know then plenty of room above stuff and then a huge back end so I asked the second question back in the bus had a huge compartment with steps actually that would lead up to it to put all your gear that you're going to transport

034instead of inside the bus we it's just really it's kind of like a resort bus I guess you could say they're really nice and they're really nice and um we can we can spend approximately they're getting the final dollar amount but they're going to come in between 95 and 97 000 each not this year but the next year in the following year 24 25 and 25 26 I have 180 000 budgeted for two new buses we don't know when we're gonna get these buses so if we were to order them today they're telling us 24 months and that's if all things go well so and that would be 180 000 each times two would be 360 000. we can get these two right we'll just say 95 we'll say 295 000 each so 200 000.

035we'd be able to save about 160 000 and we are taking care of our Fleet for the next five years have any questions or thoughts on what we're thinking Brad's in favor of it I'm in favor of it it's going to how I say it's going to help many different things it'll help our activity and they're not your hydraulic brakes they're not hair breaks you don't have to worry about aerospecial license or for airbrush so that's again if we have bus drivers drive them yes they're a little bit longer so right now to widen the corners a little bit right yes they're going out on every activity but the good thing about this is having two buses so they're let's just say for example boys basketball girls basketball hey they got the good bus they're

036getting it more yeah so really you can have it right yeah two and drag um like for a middle school track we'd be able to because we have big numbers there we'd be able to put them on two buses football for example when we have football a lot of times we'll take we would take the activity bus before and then we'd like take three vans right we want to get away from Coaches Driving as much as possible [Music] Burlington Wildcats we'll do a little bit more graphics on there that'll make them pop and they're just I say they're really nice and a great buy again these buses would would sell for over two hundred thousand dollars brand new and they only have 54 55 000 miles we believe they'll last us another and we get

03710 years out of them the way we're taking care of our stuff the ability to maintain and to take care of our our stuff would put us in a really good situation well you just can't find this these types of deals or whatever every day I mean that's a challenge so so take advantage of it yes questions anybody anything I'm the thing is Brad mentioned um there's two seats in the front so the driver's seat and then like a regular bastard seat over here so like if the driver is driving you know you have some way to talk to here versus trying to talk about around somewhere behind you because the door for to enter the buses behind that passenger seat which what did make it fun and it was pretty amazing we took a

038test drive and got it on the road and it was driving at 68 miles an hour down the road okay it was quite I mean I you could talk you could talk I was pretty amazing I it it's it it'll look a little different than a school bus because the front end will look like a a like a truck a a big trucks they're approved through the state so you know because everything's right we're gonna ensure like how much more of our insurance go what's going on yeah it's it's gonna it'll be an increase because we're going to take two buses off the court we very rarely get driven uh they're they're still I mean it's not going to be a huge it's not like again if it was brand new probably going to be

039more expensive but I think man insurance is going to be probably similar to what we had on our previous activity bus very similar so anyway you know what brand it was uh it was actually yeah the Ford Championship the champion was the one that did the conversion and there's a lot of difference I have broken an activity where I was thinking that that has storage appearance towards in the back and more like a [Music] it'll save us 160 000 that I had budgeted it's an upfront cost right here right now but it makes a lot of sense we don't know if we can order that bus and it could be it could be like there it could be right there it could be like uh instead of two years ago maybe three years to get

040it we just don't apply it is yeah I was actually thinking that fish tank after a couple several years you've seen them around I mean it'd be like they call it a Ford Freightliner if you will it's it's a it has a 6.7 we have to make an official vote on it or no no we'll just move forward but we don't have to do a vote or anything like that okay that's all I have unless you have anything else for me again everybody's working hard our Tech staff is working hard Craig and Courtney and uh he's got other helpers Christina Lawson Amanda Allen who else am I missing anybody else Amanda Vander lemon as well so I've got a lot of people doing Tech stuff custodial staff are just knocking it out of the park

041grounds and transportation are working hard to get things ready it's just an margarito with the different projects as well so we're just uh we're going fast and furious because next August our next meet next month is August Ready or Not guys thank you um can I just go into update yeah so we've had a job fair today and um I had a line people waiting for the first hour and a half so I got eight people through in an hour and a half um and some really good viable ones I think I didn't I came back and sent out an email to admin and all the respective districts to say hey here's some names some of you haven't even replied or anything but um I think that it'll probably get me around a 10 Mark

042of openings which is better than other candies it's big energy so it's a great job okay yeah I mean they were at 12 o'clock there was people walking in and some had already applied some had applied to other districts but they had sent me their stuff um and some applied on site but it was it made us Fast and Furious it was at the high school but um and we partnered like we have before so how these Kansas works and they helped publicize it and I will say they have to list on the Southeast kids work where they've heard about it from and so I also read it in two newspapers for three weeks and there was one person that put newspaper the rest of them all it was Facebook which I thought was good

043information too just because I mean it's got the money to put it in the paper but just to kind of see yeah where most of it came from so did we decide where we're giving them for our Wellness it's not even found somebody you haven't done that we haven't but uh yeah I was excited about that today I'm excited to be down thinking around that 10-ish Mark I mean it's yeah still a real number but it's a lot better than where we were and I feel like we'll start with a lot better mindset when we staff in place so good job okay you know on the Boardman Riders anything to share board members no they know uh we'll review the operating procedures so we had a lot of these the ground rules Etc everybody have

044any comments about that the ground was you guys have always done a very good job of support working with me on me is working with each other so I want to commend you as a board of education just doing terrific with those grounding rules and working well together motion yeah I'll move to establishing ground rules that's presented for working with superintendent as it's estimated an official payments of this meeting sir first and second uh any discussion foreign we have the board goals board goals for 2023 20 24 we've had some discussions about these and I think you said yeah right and uh you know we didn't do a retreat last year it was right when outage hit and then also we did the strategic planning committee meetings instead of that so we'll look to do

045a a retreat similar to what we've done in the past I don't know if you guys have a preference on our format we typically have done like two evening sessions since I've been here but I think you've done different things before would you like to do like a two evening session again it seems to work it's awesome I'm trying to make anything work really late August early September I'd say let's go get started early September you want to look at some calendars and you know the admins are here with us in August we'll set those dates up and if that's okay yeah all right that's bad activity I think uh we have crazy if you'll send that out everybody can kind of get back with you as soon as you can so okay I can

046send out Friday even Friday you know some possible dates yeah throw out some dates and kind of get a feel for days and days okay we'll also review the strategic planning information too and continue to have discussions about that as the year goes on we'll put that information in there during the board retreat in and get that in for discussion throughout the next year maybe even create some committees for some things that we wanted some additional input on possibly so yeah thank you moving on to the budget status report you've seen this information before as well for the most part you'll see some things that look very similar um you have a and Christy did a really good job putting together that 10-year history in a chart form um again the to be determined is

047obviously us setting um you know what we'll end up in the beginning actually the estimate if you'll notice assessed valuation the information we got from the county attorney is it will go down this year about every 10 to 12 years there's a correction that occurs with State utilities correct me if I'm wrong on this information it has to do with State utilities and so there's a big decrease in this evaluation that occurs again it's somewhere every 10 12 15 years that it happens um and then next year it'll go it'll go back up as what what we're what we are at least what we're told now we'll see what growth truly does happen so that and that'll make a little different a little difference for us as we're building and developing the budget with the

048assessed valuation decreasing that's why I'm not sure whether we're going to exceed revenue go ahead and put it in and because this assessment as you can see this is the biggest hits I've been super antenna and over a 10 year period it's been the biggest drop that we've seen there's a 1819 to 1920 where it grew up slightly but anyway questions I would like to say that we just heard people on a daily discussion about the extra Mill for Capital athlete sometime in the future we need to be or not what what did you say I'm sorry I still that we did before I think about in the future yeah for future needs Etc so yeah not that we have to vote on it now but we need to keep our eye on that yeah

049it's something that we need to not be reactionary and have a big influx of patrons of the school and you've got a year and a half of building the school where you got 30 kids in the classroom it's not a great service plan I don't think but you also don't want to build a wing that you're not going to put anybody in correct I think that'll be a perfect something for our retreaters okay I mean because we can't just add that any time right no no there's a 40-day window you have to put it in the paper for two weeks two postings consecutively and then there's a 40-day window to it to have that one mil two Mills three Mills we can go up to four Mills max out at eight for Capital outcome so

050quick quick just a quick little bit of math here just to kind of just so you'll know um think in terms of a mill being somewhere between depends on the set valuation somewhere between 500 and 600 000 so one mill we'll just say 500 000 four Mills to if we wanted to go to eight mils in Cape Valley that's an additional two million dollars in a year it would take you in a long I mean take it it's going to take you a lot of years to get 2 million to build it if we were to build a new school 10 years at 2 million is 20 million we'll build a new school for 20 million in 10 years probably not so now I mean those are those are things to think about I think

051James made the comment and you guys kind of I saw ahead and nodding we need to have that on our Retreat agenda to talk about future future planning size building you know the size of buildings configuration of buildings is that uh if we leave them as is do we have a Pre-K or two building a three through five building a grade six through eight building middle school and nine through twelve building do we do we look at a pre-k5 elementary a large large Elementary a six through eight a nine through twelve do we and and what what would we do with the current the current elementary school if we were to move to a large you know I think a large you know a brand new Elementary and why there's not a lot of public

052here but they may be tuning in we're not saying we're building a drilling Factory but these are just discussions to have and things because again what does the future hold for us the future holds a lot of good things here in Burlington yeah I would agree with those like we we don't want this to catch us you know all of a sudden we're short on like wow how come we didn't plan on this no I think it's just Future Finance that we need to do and you guys think about it and kind of keep this in the Forefront and soon crank some questions that you have maybe you don't want to ask them here but ask Craig some questions and let's put them all together get ready for that reason some information from my live

053births okay yeah an estimates um yeah and estimates of you know how many just because you know say the plant's gonna have this x amount of employees they're not all going to move to rent right I mean we have an important and even Linda right that are about it's really hard it is right yeah put some numbers in the handful that's what I've seen the camera anticipating and doing their research on what no show up in this time there's not any specific okay it's not somebody else but if you think you're right yeah housing Stacy Stacy mentioned it housing so yeah I've talked to well at all I've heard about that no no you're right and Stacy mentioned in housing and I think you guys are all thinking that too it's all dependent upon housing

054if you have houses I think I think we've set ourselves up to be a very desirable place for families for kids to go to school the community I mean we get we're blessed with the great hospital we got a Rec Center we got great schools we've got great infrastructure so we got everything here to make ourselves very desirable and so again the key question is for an increase and our administrators are starting to think about how much how many more kids can their buildings hold so as as we start to we're going to start to have more conversations when we have that retreat and we may end up putting who knows we may end up putting a community advisory committee together to discuss the potential future growth and um anyway I I think I told

055the story to some of you Dr Watson and I talked to him about you know he's a mentor of mine Dr Watson tells what has told the story back in 1992 and the person they went because they had three elementary schools that were bursting to the same 600 plus kids and those and they were putting them in outbuildings he went to a community meeting to talk about do we go in Attendance Center okay one two three four five million the kids go every two years they moved throughout they went to this meeting and thought that that was the direction that they were going to go and the public said no go to a bond issue build north of town where we got the new it's a newer part of town will support the bondage you

056guys wanted to do anything we'll make it happen we want a new school we want to stay in our neighborhood schools and the community did it wasn't what Dr Watson thought was going to happen but the community that's what the community wanted so who knows what our community wants that may be good information for us to find out yeah what that future may look like but it was a complete it was a 180 from what he was thinking was going to happen so anyway so keep yours open provide feedback as you can so any is there any other questions any other information you've seen you've seen this information before again Christy put the chart down below for the actual Levy from what we had last year the proposed Levy what we're thinking again we're putting

057um recip Roc actually gone to a decimal point for a local option budget we found that uh the budget me it used to be 30 or 31. they've told us that the budget Workshop this past June or the end of June it's 31.3 for the whole option budget anyway so that would be a little tiny bit of extra Revenue 20 some thousand dollars maybe but not much so anyway for the discussion on that I'm moving on so I'd like to make a motion recess an executive session for 20 minutes discussed Personnel pursuant to non-eleven Personnel exception under coma and to return to open space in this room at the end of that time second all right any discussion foreign yeah I can get that side button s on my mouth um tax approval's appointments uh

058so I was gonna say I did this I've been doing this looking something kind of like this baby yeah so okay I'll make the most approved Lucas out to serve as a government operation Network representing for 20013-2024. second second any discussion all right vote on your computer foreign policies annual agenda plan just an item do we have any other groups that are interested at all Dina we've got some opportunities if there are some other groups that you think would be interested in joining us I know we don't get very many graduates but I sure do like to just don't think we should give it up no I don't think we should we just gotta we've got to figure out how to get it more recent graduates here you know and not just a college grad

059or a college student we need just a graduate out of high school what however he does yeah we need well here's how much is kids who went into college and I want to get something back from kids right in the workforce and went into the military and like I need to get other do we do it do we do this linkage in July I mean I'm just throwing it out I mean that's summer I don't know if that's better or worse before they all scattered children I understand why January because it seemed like you were trying to hear people over Christmas break potentially that we're over here here for the holidays but there's there's a different month work we could try it next year I think I think sure we can do it and I'll
