001under uh open SE coming from close s uh no only have that uh employee that was long term and now she passed her certification and so yes sir recommendation recommendation is that the Board of Trustees approve the employment of professional staff as discussed in close motion a motion we have a second second second by Houston questions concern all in favor okay pass uh we're going to uh consent items minutes of the boards held on February 10th February 17 February the 24 I don't know if you all want to take them together or individually uh you have any questions on any of the uh this is just for the minutes minutes and all three motion by uh Mr MAA to approve the uh minutes of 3 13 1 24 do I have a second second second
002by Sami houst questions concerns and not fav then on the uh consideration to approve the monthly bills for uh February [Applause] 2025 do I have a motion for that I have a couple question from my guess motion move yeah my move okay motion uh second second okay uh on uh there was a couple of ones that I was kind of like interested in for example on page 32 Hondo ISD what is that 14524 I I wouldn't know what that is know do you know what that is Hondo ISD Hondo ISD is that are we paying them or what's going I mean that's quite a bit of chunk of change right there for you okay what for that's how we receive the death hearing services foring and visual that from Hond to provide services for students
003and we have several that are impaired and here so it's contracted Services if it's if that's the one of think okay can we get clarification on that we will send it to you okay you another one and then uh the Food Service Excellence I mean uh there's on 220 25 and then [Music] on and that's on page 31 I see it again on page 32 on 226 and that's for another addition mic an additional 35 so it's 55 grand for ma where's Ma I'm assuming these are their fees but they don't get paid out of General operating fund they should get paid out of federal guy that we don't have to pay the guy that helps um no no they get paid straight out of as a fee she's absent today I don't know today
004yeah but we will look into that that's quite a chunk of change right if it's a s it should not come out of local I mean are we buying food or are we pay what is what's the we would be purchasing yes one that we would be purchasing but we don't purchase out we don't purchase directly from them we we um we purchase from Cisco but we go through SF and then uh um Raptor Technologies page 30 it's another I'm going to start doing that I'm going to start questioning anything about 5,000 that's fine Raptor Technologies one is Raptor that's our visitor management system that we use to uh security for security is for safety when we have visitors that's the camera ones no the no sir the one scan IDs is it scans the
005DPS website to make sure that uh people don't have outside Wars is that monthly or is that like no no that's a yearly fee sir that's a yearly fee a yearly fee okay yes sir and So Divine high school would be like not a co-op again would it be would it be for like something for athletics yes that's Divine ISD 30 Divine ISD wouldn't be another Co-op that would be like for athletics right probably the use of a gym MH okay and then on the same page fast B integration LC indal 27 that's the cameras or that's the the fencing project sir that's the actual access for the gates so that's the to where the little intercoms and the card readers that's that installation the electricity all that all all bundle up together so Raptor
006provides a certain service and that's another part of another service that's that's a different part okay that part is used by the campus sir when we have visitors for different events uh when when when parents come in to uh to uh visit the campuses they have to get raptured in basically they provide their ID it scans it against a register a database for the DPS and if they're clear they're allowed to okay and then on page uh 28 and 29 I've seen this a couple of times and now I'm curious Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville diesel that's the fuel for buses buses mm correct for the fleet and the buses fuel it's fuel what fuel oh okay just where the where are we getting oil from is it just is that just where their headquarters
007is at or I I cannot speak to where they bring the the fuel from on a do we know no that's not brop okay how many times a month or a semester does Cecilia Rea come oh that's weekly Cecilia Rea is weekly she's weekly yes and she goes for two different professions so she's the duo she's a diagnostician and a speech okay okay so she builds separately too so she'll build her educational diagnostic oh yes I remembered when and she builds the Speech Pathology work I kind of offset some of the cost for the Speech Pathology work because I'm also the bigger invoices are for diagnos okay thank you I remember when we let we brought so lady that we met on the contract and know what you the contract so those Serv I mean
008us because I mean we have to contract with them yes and that's the biggest thing is with all these services that are contracted with anything lsot it's one of assist and they have to come to Crystal City you can't do it because you have to meet with individual child or whatever and that's all we want to have thorough um thorough evaluations in person is best but we do have some so that's why some invoices aren't as big as the others because they they are able to do it virtually um for for especially like psychological evaluations those I mean Better tiet Eyes on the student so so it just every every month is different little B ler so then I got on page and that's where I was confused with the uh the South Food Service
009Excellence because then we have an additional 5,46 of Food Services Program I mean where you that's that's on page 27 okay who's finding what what page I'm on page 27 and then they say Food Services Program and that's 5,46 February 27 are you talking about Cisco no no it's the CCISD Food Services and the other one is the Excellence uh food food service Excellence that we paid almost 55 grand we have another additional five for Food Services Program I'm assuming I mean I would have to look at the the transaction that these are snacks for the preap program for prekinder and Kinder okay my my last one would be the uh wasu on the go and then and then onas that was another night that's a little bit over M you know we still well
010remember that Mr Solomon had CFO on the go that he has his 60-day C uh and Robert is you know right now is working with the district paid off with CFO on the go no y so are we still going to use because that that's kind of High I mean if we can find I don't know I mean we're Are we almost done with so on that we're gonna we we have a budget meeting yeah we have a budget meeting next Wednesday W so all those questions to deal with budget we can I mean and then the other thing that's really recommended by now by [Applause] uh call the lady we met with and M Linda ell and when we put items under uh item under consent consent if a board member has questions to
011call the superintendent that way she can bring the answer and and uh tell us here versus okay so uh and and that's both on the she mentioned that both on the uh the bills and the uh the agenda when we get the agenda you have a question on to uh call Superintendent by that time I mean you you might get your answer you have another question before we can do it any more questions uh uh we have a move second yeah V uh Vince and Peggy second all in [Applause] favor okay [Music] already and he said on D you're going to on B table yes table items that's the building and then C discussion action to approve donations for the special we have to vote for the table I guess we a motion to uh

027prekinder at 89 and I'm just getting around 89% Kindra at 90% first grade at 92% second grade at 93% thirdd grade at 94% fourth grade at 93% fifth grade at 92% sixth grade at 92% 7th at 92% 8 at 90% 9 at 90% 10 at 91% 11 at 90% and 12th grade at 90% so uh we are overall for the for year to date as of February the 28th we were at 91.3 uh 36 uh year to date also as of last Friday we are uh still struggling with attendance we are at 91.3 7 Kinder at 89% K uh I'm sorry pre Kinder kindergarten at 91 at 90% first grade at 92% second grade at 93% thirdd grade at 94% fourth grade at 93% fifth grade at 92% sixth grade at 91% 7th grade at
02892% 8th grade at 90% 9th grade at 90% 10th grade at 91 11 at 91 and uh 12th grade at 90 third grade is doing great yeah yes ma'am uh really showing up compared to last year last year at this time in March of 2024 our attendance was at 90.8% we're still so we're still a percent better but we're uh we're still struggling with attendance well over the days uh we have some day days and we have applied for a waiver for those dates and we're waiting for to give us uh approval and that should help our attendance because it was that week was the entire week about a week and a half right Robert of of poor attendance okay on see presentation uh Mr Alvarado is going to give you an update on TIA
029date of validation updates thank you thank you [Applause] robt so I I got a little packet uh put together on things that um can help explain the uh TI data validation results as you all know R TI application uh was denied uh on page one on that first page uh that first little paragraph it says thank you for your recent data submission based on holistic review of your system of record and data validation results designations um have been denied pending on District appeal uh for districts that do not have Yet full system for approval your local designation system was Deni pinning and appeal so we have we received this email on February 4th um Tia gave us an opportunity to uh do an appeal if you look at uh towards the middle of the of
030the page it says your District was identified as denied pending a district appeal for the following reasons low check one what contributed to a low correlation between observation scores and student grow scores a low check nine what contributed to designations misaligning to the teacher observation Statewide performance standards what is the rational for why this occurred please consider whether uh there was po implementation in a specific teacher category or campus so those were the main reasons um why we had to make an appeal if you look at toward uh the last three pages of the packet I'm sorry the last two pages I want to give credit and I want to say thank you to the last the last two pages sir I want to say uh thank you to the uh principles um they helped
031me tremendously met about four days uh actually was five days uh in a row to work on this appeal letter uh for our campuses they're they're the ones with the information they know what was going on at their campuses they're the ones how know how they tested they they are the ones that know how um you know they observe their teachers so their input was vital for this information and and as a as a response to Tia we worked on it together uh we felt confident um we reviewed it with uh Region 20 um and even we even Region 20 felt um you know that we had a good response to Tia uh so we went ahead and submit it um if you go back to page three if you go back to page three
032it says the teacher incens of allotment TI data validation results um it says thank you for your recently submitted that validation based on a holistic review of your appeal your appeal has been rent uh been granted and therefore the system has not has been denied um that middle paragraph it says Crystal C did not identify issues in their system related to Observation ratings uh being approximately equal to Statewide performan standards in each of the uh teacher designation levels check nine uh 21 of your 36 teachers that were submitted uh for designation had teacher observation scores that were below the Statewide performance standards for teaching proficiency specifically specifically they were heavily misaligned at the master designation level based on the appeal narrative the district does not have a thorough understanding of check 9 and how it
033is calculated the district presented next steps for students growth measures analysis across the campuses but did not identify next steps related to designation practices to ensure alignment of the Statewide observation performance standards when recommending teachers for designation uh which is the focus of check N9 for the district address address correlation in check one with a for appraiser collaboration there was not any thorough root cause analysis that examined both examinations and student growth the district fell to identify issues in their system or next steps to address their issues for Check N and therefore did not meet the outcome needed for the appeal so one thing that I want to bring here is if you go if you go to the next page uh I'm sorry the the next page where it says the T-shirt designation alignments
034the page looks like this so one of the things that that uh ended up happening if you look at towards the bottom it says recognized teachers represent the top 33% of of the Texas teachers the uh exemplary designations represent the top 20% of the teachers and the Master's designations represent the top five% of our teachers so one of the main things that happen with us is at our elementary levels our teachers and this uh Miss has stood here in front of you all and she presented her data information and she shows that our teachers are actually uh doing better than the state um than the than Region 20 and the state so one of the main things is that what data is what data is that the uh um the Ice Station our station our
035I station data but is it really reliable yes I mean understand that test you can there's the teachers in there giving out the test or something like that I mean so how do you know they're not taking it over and over you know that bumps up the score so I think that's why it got um I think that's why this got denied right well I'll explain it but um I I wouldn't be able to tell because I'm not in the classroom but um um so our students um the data shows that our students did really good in in um the at the elementaries using the Ice Station data um that bumped up our Master Teachers uh um in when we uh designated teachers um and according to the state our numbers didn't match up to
036where it should have been 5% Masters uh 20% um at the Exemplar level and 33% um at the uh recognized level you you can have a Master's Teacher your first year and teacher incal yes yes it all depends on how they um do in their teacher observations and in their um yeah like everything has to come together the scores the evaluation yeah um so one of the things if you go to the next page go to the next page um and it's underline I underlined it there wa uh right after the teacher observation performance standards yeah so when you read this it says teachers in each of the three designated categories tend to have scores above these minimum averages however the holistic review may allow for scores that are nominally lower than these stated minimums
037in some cases so one of the things that that happened for us is that our test scores at the elementary level were really high compared to some of our teachers that had observations that were not as comparable to their scores so their scores were up here but their observations were were a little bit skewed down here um teachers those teachers how were they scored were they scored under master exemplary or recognized most of them were in the Masters and uh uh but how it says right here when you do a holistic review it may allow for scores to nomally lower uh for SC Scot I'm sorry teachers in each of the pr designated categories tend to have scores above the state minimum averages however the holistic review may allow for scores that are nominally lower
038than these stated minimums in some cases were they evaluation some cases means that we uh is a question that we have for Tia we have a set up meeting tomorrow with Tia I'm inviting the principles the principles are notice um we have we still have questions on on you know our results uh because the way we rate our teachers it falls in line with what Tia allows us to do yet when we met with Tia uh through a webinar before when we were working with the appeal they started saying that our teachers um you know could have done better at the 3.7 at the 3.9 and at the 4.5 so those are questions that we still have for TI moving forward right now what I have to report is that we were theight um but
039we get a second chance um in April coming April uh we're going to do a couple of changes working with the principles on how we can uh improve tomorrow we have a meeting with Tia where they're going to guide us on what we can improve moving forward and then next October is when we will submit the data for this year moving forward um unfortunately affect our um our high school teacher that started getting didn't La prior and it followed no no it doesn't she still gets right yes okay so you mentioned that because the students were the the the teachers were not at a certain level but were scored or rated at a certain level but you know they were rated low but the students scored high is it safe to say if the teachers
040were designated as recognized designations would the outcome be different uh well it it was more on their I mean we can't the scores are the scores so that's what we reported what we could have worked on is their observations their observations could have been a little bit higher but again when you're scoring for Tia we don't want to go in the lens of just looking for Tia reasons I mean the teachers you know we use I station but every time that we walk into the classroom the teach is not going to be on I station they might be doing something different so their scores you know over here are a little bit different tiia forces us to see their observations through the lens of Tia but for test purposes we don't see you know through
041the lens of Tia we have to see holistic as teachers sometimes they might be doing stations sometimes they might be doing um uh you know I station uh and and other manipulatives so the the teacher might uh make the observation a little bit different than than what it is now was that correlation made throughout the entire District or was it just elementary schools high school were they different the the two that were affected and were very similar because of the test scores were in the Ice Station scores which would be DTR and salal the other campuses um for example uh Benito harez was kind of the opposite the the teachers were observed pretty high in their observation scores but their results in star or not to par to the observations so there will skew there
042to they go off of the star scores yes sir so one of the things that we're working with is uh and the principles are aware of this and they started working already within their campus um is working with their assistant principal so that they can coordinate their test scores one of the things coming back from spring break is that we are going to go into the campus um to make time so that the principles can go visit other campuses and they can correlate because that's one of the findings too you know the campuses also need to correlate across campus uh you know the the score should look pretty much the same you know from High School all the way through is there something else that can be or does Ice Station Tia do like why
043is it so lopsided at and Kinder and salala and then it levels out over here in venito I know it's the state test but is there something that could be done on the lower grades cuz I know that don't take the start that could may even everything else so one of the things that we need to make sure is that we have a system in place that one the teachers are familiar with and two that it's a state approved Tia um uh recognition right yeah it's recognized by Tia as a growth measure tool and Ice Station was one of the ones that one the teachers were already very familiar with and two that we the district was already using it now I don't want to say you know it is what it is because our
044teachers did actually really good we cannot take away from from the teachers that that uh you know scored High their their tests their students and I'm not there in the class but what I what we can tell you is that they're they do take it once a month and each month they show growth so when Miss ban and Miss um um Mata come in and present their information we are very proud of those scores cuz we are doing better than the region it's not the teachers it's the appraisers there's something well there there's just things that we need to work on there's things that we need to work on so what ta wants to see relative to Tia is that as teaching is improving so our student outcomes and they need this to be aligned
045and so what I what I think it and I'm not overseeing Tia but I think it's more a matter of T tests of making sure number one that that admin is uh is calibrating together that they spend uh enough time calibrating together so that when we go in and observe classroom instruction we all receive the instruction for what it is and give them credit for what we see the other is the distribution that Tia has that you know as Robert was explaining uh Tia has 33% of the teachers in one category 20% of the teachers in another category and only five % of the teachers in another category Crystal City ISD is undergoing transformation since we started and we see leaps and bounds in terms of growth uh at the foundation grades because we've really
046been hitting the foundation grades uh really hard in reading and Ma mouth so our scores may seem anomalous to TA because there's so much growth but they are indeed factual scores our teachers are doing that well in terms of instruction our students are doing that will in terms of performance what we have to understand is in domain 2 in instruction of TS which are the dimensions that most impact Tia and we have identified those three dimensions they are in the support documentation that Mr Alvarado has presented to you so as we calibrate we're going to be very intentional about calibrating around those three dimensions so because they inform Us in terms of assessment um that is that's a process that has been ongoing we have refresher courses for our administrators every year uh the issue
047is constancy we just need to make sure that the administrators both of them have enough time especially at the beginning of the year when we're getting to know our staff and our students uh and what the framework is going to look like in each respective classroom that they understand the rubric uh and what it's trying to measure for what it is and so we know that we uh we know that campuses have already started the calibration process we're not going to wait for the next year we do have the opportunity to resubmit the application which is Our intention I do believe that we even though Tia is not giving us credit I do think that we did achieve the root cause of the problem it's not the assessment uh it is it is in tests
048it's in how we are implementing T tests so as our students are performing better and better every year so should teaching in in regards to how we're assessing them in test so uh ongoing ongoing training for our leadership team where three growth or three what three dimensions uh they are in that principal statement The Narrative at the bottom of the page the third bullet 2.1 2.3 and 2.5 the last the last thought that I mean the way the TA would uh teachers was by the how high the students were scoring this un fortunately but it's yes but relative standard relative to tius and based on their distribution what is check nine check nine is is how the are how we correlated to the state standards okay which is like I said the um which is
049this one right here okay you know the state wants us to have five teachers at Masters they want us to have uh 20 teachers at the exemplary and they want us to have 30 teachers at um recogniz and uh we were hired uh based on our masters um they want us 5% we hit 177% yeah but again because of our elementary teachers that I do give them credit that scored really good in in their tests are they aware of this the teacher understand yes our principles went back on days that we can um talked to okay um and and uh I do want to say that um everything that we use for uh T including the elementaries was um State Standards um the the star and makes our students grow and measures them on the
050onee growth when we did the Ice Station we measured it the exact same way on the one year's growth um it's just unfortunate that we have some of our even Kinder students that are already reading that first and second grade level you know so that helps the teach tremend um you know we have third graders that are be not a good problem not a good problem no so we we will submit again we will try um we are bringing in uh some teachers for their input um as we move forward I've asked the principles to go and identify by um three teachers from each campus so they can come in and and give input to on moving forward on on the plans that we might adjust our our plan for next year and yall are
051submitting for 25 26 right it's not going to be Robert what are the next webinars that are coming up the next webinar tomorrow we will meet with Tia where they're going to talk about how we can improve our plan but based on our plan correct specifically I mean they're going to talk to Crystal City um specifically it'll be there can you ask about growth that is above and beyond a Year's worth because that's the problem that we have yes is that our kids are growing Beyond a year and how how does tiia take into account years where our kids are just growing so it shouldn't be penalized and and the the um the other thing that that I would like to point out for Tia purposes say check one cuz there's nine checks and each
052one is graded differently and it carries different weight check one actually carries a weight of 30 points check nine only has a weight of three points but Check N is the one that kept us from achieving so three points um because we were going to exceed the Masters we were going to have more teachers qualify for Masters than a traditional District based on our scores and that's it's based on the scores or is it based on the I guess how they were the reviews that were done of the teachers both right both how you got to work both so their observations and their scores you combine them so it's it's a it's a math formula that I can I can have Miss uh s you U but it's a math formula where you get your
053your observation scores you get your student growth you get it and then they have to be a minimum point average for each category what happen is we graded our teachers too high no uh one area one and that that was a correlation right in one area we graded them too low and then their student growth they were too high but when you Cali how it says here on on that page where I told yall when you underline it and you score holistic basically they still met the grade that they needed to get in order to be recognized as a Masters andary or a recognized teacher so holistically they got the grade that they needed to be uh designated however when TI says they EV that says it right there um your master teachers were too
054many when submitting these can you SE I mean you separated by campus or does it have to be entirely as a district well it could have been uh by campus um or by not necessarily campus but by categories so category one is our English teachers from kinder to third grade our category two is our is our Math teachers from kinder to third grade our category four is uh STAR test teachers from fourth grade all the way to English to our uh category number four is our English uh Math teachers from fourth grade all the way to uh High School which would be algebra one so we could have but it would have eliminated multiple teachers and for this first year even the Region 20 lady said if it would have been good it was the
055the bright idea to try and get everybody in um because it wasn't a guarantee whether we took some people off or on it still wasn't the guarantee they were still going to look at our our data and it was in the guarantee so we took the chance and try to get everybody in we felt that everybody you know and we knew this going in because again the the first email said you know that our masters and and our elementary teachers were a little bit off but we just felt that we had a good enough explanation in our validation to say this is why um and if I'm wrong you mentioned that you could have done it by category so if we would have done it by category the first time we have gotten the Tia
056it wasn't a guarantee I can't say yes or no the chances be higher they didn't say if it would have been higher or not um we do know that there was more correlation in the uh math uh the Math teachers were a little bit more correlated their uh observation scores and their um T and their either star scores or I station scores were a little bit better online um but when discussing it with the uh principles and we discussed It ultimately I made the decision to get everybody but it was input from everybody um that you know everybody had worked really hard and we didn't want to penalize teachers that did really good I mean was was there any research done I guess from other districts or anything to see how they applied and went
057into it yes our if they went in step by step or they just took everybody in at once not not on the denial process but I we did follow and I do talk to Mr knight from hondu uh because they have an approved plan and they're it was very similar to ours so I do get on the phone every once in a while and I do talk to him um he did guide me but we also had a lot of guidance from Region 20 Miss uh Gabby Joseph um from Region 20 Miss um Maggie from Region 20 also guided us multiple times um so it wasn't like we were alone like I said we met with them before we went over our plan with Region 20 they said it was good um of course they're
058not going to say you know ultimately it falls on us um to to submit you saying that tomorrow you going to meet with them or yes sir uh me and and the principes uh right now that the data is still um talking about other teachers data um so uh we we we're not bringing in the teachers yet just because it's confidential on on you know scores and and ratings and that mean it's better that the principal come no yes yes they kind of a more questions for thank you Mr thank you not uh uh this is aou between Crystal City ISD and Crystal Ballroom for reunification purposes we'll give you just a real quick update um back in February uh got the pleasure of training the campuses on incident command thank you the standard response
059protocols and the standard un method make sure that the uh the staff knew who would be in command of every campus and who would be in command of the district and who would be in command of a violent crime and in doing so we needed to have a larger building uh we always thought of one of the schools that being the reunification site uh for the elementaries we thought of the football field um and for inclement weather sometimes you can't have somebody uh that's going to get affected by by heat or um severe cold so we we needed a larger building we were fortunate to talk to fan and almao and we came up with anou for their Crystal uh Crystal Ballroom as our reification site the map that I'm showing you is a uh
060Earth uh Google Map and it's basically in a preliminary stage we still got to go inside and and check the dimensions uh check what facilities they have uh we already have a contract with Davos for ported potties in case we needed more uh and uh at this point we've already uh signed theou and it looks like it's it's going to be a good idea for an exercise that that we plan in the future um you have any questions ready and the children would go by bus it would have to be bused yeah we would not have any unless they're uh special edit or maybe somebody had a crutches we might have to take a SUV to take them to the site we wouldn't let the the parents know uh where the site would be until
061all the the day individuals and all the students are at that place and the district would take charge of the building getting it set up while the campus comes in and they take care of the the students uh we would be assisted them who would be at the building to meet the children what personnel would be at the building in case there was something that would meet the kids it would be the campus uh the campus uh staff of course they have their own incident command they we would have District Personnel assisting and getting everything ready then we would have maintenance we would have probably other campus staff that we would bring on board uh other professionals to to bring on board from the campuses to help out because this would be a big operation
062okay does the district have enough buses to get over there how many round trips would it take um time wise and it it would also depend on the incident uh say that an incident happened when campuses was being released well they have the drop off routes but all of the buses that weren't in the route process would have to be uh staging at the bus barn so that we get him ready it could be two or three rounds maybe more have you have you timed the routes not yet you know how long not for this particular site we we did it with h Junior High uh we did it with the one of the elementary schools but we haven't done this site all our trainings have been particularly just at the school level at at
063that area around the football field uh I know it takes like about 2 minutes uh to get each bus from the junior high to the football field and that's without having any other traffic no releasing from other schools that's just like on your best case scenario yeah worst case scenario uh that would be a little bit of a chaos but we've already didn't did our training on on the reunification training with all the staff so they kind of are aware what needs to happen and so we we feel confident that if we do a big exercise we can get this job done fairly quickly so my question is I mean my my my last question is the the distance um you know it's kind of far now wouldn't it be make more sense like for
064example uh which one's the other one that's down here quicker comp yeah that's another site that we're looking at I haven't had the uh the pleasure to speak with uh yet because I'm just thinking the chaos let's say for example there there's a shooting and then the chaos because you know people are going to be coming in and then they're going to be blocking traffic and trying to get over there so that's that's Nas yeah and that's why it's in this planning stage uh Chief uh Gustav is going to be working on the traffic routes uh I'm going to be working on the inside of the building so I'm not I'm not aware of what what his strategy will be but I know he's working on that and and again this would only be for
065something that that's severe like a violent uh threat uh a shooting maybe a building collapse or you know a fire that we have to move a campus then we also uh it's it's it's for something that's drastic for the compens one of the things that we have to just be cautious with is if it's a bomb threat type of situation if it's within the zone of U of the blast because it's close to the schools so I mean that's just one a lot of these reunifications are going to be based on incident so we need to have multiple uh multiple M us with different uh different local entities because it depends on the incident we're not always going to evacuate to uh to one place it depends on what's driving rework our mou with the
066Catholic church for the Parish Hall and that's basically we had to evacuate due to a fire we at the Parish Hall but even that building is not big enough for a campus they're very limited on the number of stalls for restroom facilities so if something happened where we move the campus there it it wouldn't be sufficient for for that type of use we probably have to bring in several Port bodies and water are our stock piles or HP any other questions questions for no it's very well thought out thank you thank you by when do you think you're you would have it ready to plan uh we're plan to do a site visit next week and then plan out just a like a basic walkth through with halfa no students then probably uh an exercise
067thank you Jess thank you the last thing that we have on the uh I have a motion by Bruce Bruce second by one favor the time is 7:44 we have it once stay at 5:30 recording stopped
