We're so like practiced and rehearsed around here. All right, well, this is really special. I am so excited to introduce Cheryl Aldridge. She's had a long career in the Sumner Bonney Lake School District. She did her student

She's and the thing that's so cool about Cheryl, she's held a variety of roles and really gotten to uh go deep in our district and build her knowledge and her leadership skills. This and here's her pathway. I just want to tell you about it. She was an elementary teacher from 1997 to 2008. Then an instructional coach for 2 years. She was a response to intervention coordinator and after that a reading specialist. I met her at in 2014 when I was the principal of Victor Falls and she was my um learning specialist for the time there. She went on to become a dean of students and then most recently an assistant principal and now
006we have the amazing fortune to have her join the special education uh central office department as the director of special ed elementary. So I'm super excited for this moment. And thank you so much for this opportunity and um instilling your trust in me. I appreciate it. Hey, who's with you tonight? I have my whole family. All of my kids. >> Yep, they're in my mother and Oh, your mom's here. Oh, hi mom. Here. Thank you. All right. Uh Cheryl, would you like a family picture? Sure. Why not? Come on up, a whole family.

So, Jill Dornan, principal, is going to announce our newly hired AP. Good afternoon. I am pleased to welcome Shaylee Bagley as Crestwood Elementary's new assistant principal for the upcoming school year. She joins us, we stole her, from the Bethel School District where she has served as an admin intern, a classroom teacher, and a paraeducator. She brings a strong background in early childhood education, special education, curriculum, and instruction. And we are super excited for her to get to know the Crestwood family. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their daughter. They have two dogs and a betta fish. She loves Disney, rodeos, Highland cows, and she's also a former
008softball player at the collegiate level. So, please join us in welcoming Shaylee Bagley as the newest Crestwood Orca. Good evening, board. Thank you guys so much for this opportunity and I cannot wait to join Crestwood and continue doing the great work that they're doing there. So, thank you so much. Oh, hey Shaylee. Who's here with you tonight? >> Um so, the one whining is my daughter. Um so, I have my daughter and my husband, my parents, uh my brother, my future sister-in-law, and then my grandmother is here as well. Aw, that's awesome. Family picture. They were glaring at me, but I'm going to make them come up anyway. What up? So, when's the wedding? Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Oh, you know we love weddings around here, so. I know. Awesome. Well, congratulations to both
009of you. Well deserved, of course. All right. That takes us to Do you have any other comments? Well, so Shelley, if you need to go home, it's okay. Like >> [laughter] >> and Cheryl, it's been a long day, so it's totally fine if you exit gracefully. Any other superintendent comments or Nope, I think I'm >> Okay. All right, this brings us to board member comments. Bill, do you want to go first? Gracefully, loudly. Bill, I Bill's going first. Bill's going first. There we go. Dude. Wait a minute. Robin's Robin worked with on this because I'm not loud enough quite often. Um so, Tom, I'm going to let you talk because you were at the one but with the growth parades, I love a parade. Anybody who's down in Sumner and that has to love parades,
010but uh we just did one the other day and Thomas is going to uh explain a little bit more about the growth parades. But I wanted to just take a minute, you know, we have some amazing big elephants. Ah, I can see. And there's times that you want to recognize and thank thank these elephants for their leadership and what they do for all of us. So I want to take a minute and thank and recognize the tech department. Robin's right there. Um you know, they lead some really huge initiatives and programs throughout our district and do just such a tremendous job, but then they also respond to the emergencies that happen. And what we're recognizing is recently we had some uh fi- fiber cable fiber fiber fiber Okay, fiber and there was some damage done
011in that and as always they jumped into it and even though Lori sent things out that said it may hurt on in the morning, it was perfect because of their efforts and I know for 2 days straight we had people from the department working like crazy to make sure everything was working out. So what do you get for the tech department when you want to thank them? food So you're going to have to put this somewhere to chill tonight, but we have something for you to share with your department. Thank you so very much. And that was Mother's Day weekend, too, wasn't it? Yes, yeah. And you want to go next? Yeah. Yeah, well said Bill. Thank you for recognizing their hard work. >> [clears throat] >> Just two things for me tonight. One again,
012that study session the study sessions are just off the charts lately. We I just love the field trips on site. We got to listen to one of our CTE pathways students from the language interpretation um uh program. I guess the classes came and we got to see them a model videos and hear more about their specific classes and their training, learning how to translate medical documents and legal documents and how they can help build that bridge with people in our community and I just thought it was such a applicable way to provide access to people who might need it and also build up kids in in our schools and I just think it's amazing. >> all they're all dressed, too, you know, for the job. Yes, exactly. And the only one in the state, right?
013The only the only pathway in the state at our high schools, which is something to be proud of. Um so, the other thing that was the the Bonney Lake Senior Showcase Night and once again, just didn't disappoint. We have amazing kids, as you know, in this district and I really appreciate the way that the high schools are widening the net of who they are highlighting and honoring for these awards and it really just was such a beautiful scope of the beautiful ways that staff are supporting and valuing kids in our district and putting them on stage for all of us to get the gift of hearing more about them. So, I didn't attend the Sumner one, so maybe someone else can speak to that one, but kudos to Bonney Lake High School. Another event well
014done. And also the video, I felt like was top-notch. The the AV that was done that highlighted the students and it was I mean, we kind of we pay attention to that in my family. We like watching videos. Um and so um I just thought they would just have elevated that, too. So, just well well done, impressive, and it's just that season, right, of seniors and and looking at the good work that's been happening in our district all kind of cumulating to this moment. So. All right. Well, this month has been very busy. A lot of things going on. I think they're all exciting, too. I went to the Bonney Lake Elementary School for their growth parade. I think it's the first time I've been to that one. It was spectacular. All these kids bringing
015their little signs what they what they're good at. And we got the Sumner School band, part of the band, there, too. Parents all around. It's so exciting and just seeing what they're doing there and the pride in the kids kids' faces with those signs. They walk around the field there. Just great. Really loved that one. And I went to the White River School senior showcase, too. It was great seeing all those 12 students getting awards. And the artwork out front was amazing. See what the kids do. Just it's really great. Uh went to the Sumner High School uh senior showcase. They had 11 outstanding students there. And showing talked about the character, leadership, and the positive impact there in the community and schools. It was really really good. And um I think that's it. A
016lot going on this month, though. >> There is. As we get towards the end of the school year, yeah. Yeah, the last study session, just having another CTE pathway program in our district that, you know, just like the student we heard from tonight who got hired at Boeing right out of right out of high school. Having taking students that want to either learn a second language or already know a second language and use that as their career to interpret, um like you said, documents, do in-person interpretation. And they're going to leave high school with certifications ready to to work and I think it's just amazing. So, hats off to the CTE program for for that. I attended the Victor Falls Elementary Art Night, which was a good one as usual. Lots of good stuff to
017see there. I always love the glow room. That's all we like. But, it was really amazing. The the music program there is really stellar as well and they do fabulous job. They had a choir that sang I think three or four songs and they actually had a a rock band that came out and performed as well. It was just It was a really cool night. You could just see the parents being very proud of everything that they saw and it was really neat. So, It was yeah, it was like a rock country The Falcon Was it The Fennel Creek, yeah. Falcon Fennel Creek band, yeah. Really cool. So, that was a great night. And yeah, just lots going on as we come towards the end of the school year and it's going to go quick.
018All right, that brings us to audience comments. David, do you have any audience comments tonight? We do. The board recognizes the value of public comment on education issues and importance of involving members of the public in its meetings.

Address comments to the board as a whole. You will have 3 minutes to speak and may not cede or give your time to another speaker and I will signal you with the bell when you have 1 minute remaining. Our first registered speaker is Taylor Cammonsind. Taylor? Appears to not be present. Our next registered speaker is Dawn Land. Hi. Um my name is Dawn Land. I was here um last month um and uh I as I stated last month last year, I attended a pride event at Donald Eisman Elementary School. Um the board might remember how Abby White, the founder of Hope Development Practice and creator
021of that pride event last year, blamed me for her adult themed uh event going viral for all the wrong reasons. Um she said my pictures were inappropriate because of the angle at which they were taken. Um well, I was at that pride event for several hours. Um I have um more than 4 hours of video documenting what happened, but in that time I spoke with a lot of people and they were all really nice, you know, even the performers and everything. Um, when I was at the Rocky Horror Picture Show booth, I spoke with several of those performers. Um, as we spoke, a mom and her daughter also stepped up to the booth. In the conversation, the daughter, who was about 11 years old, um, was told by the actor who plays, um, Frank-N-Furter that
022their performance, his performance wasn't appropriate for anyone under 17 years old. Um, the girl's mother agreed saying that she needed to be grown up first. Um, later when that same actor performed, throwing off his trench coat and dancing around in women's underwear, um, that same young girl and her mother, along with kids as young as 3 years old, were sitting in the audience watching. But make no mistake, that actor did not intend to sing to kids that he was, quote, "a sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania," end quote. Um, but he did and he did so because that is what Abby White hired him to do. That wasn't his doing, he was hired to do that. Um, Abby has set a date for her pride event this year and as she's done so, she's requiring everyone
023to promise to support drag. Oh, that's the that's the 1 minute. Okay. Um, she's openly stating that she will hire adult entertainment for her event and then invite families with young children. Um, please don't approve Abby White to have her pride event on Sumner Bonney Lake school property. It doesn't mean you don't like LGBTQ+ people, it just means that you don't want adult entertainment shown to children on school property. Please don't let anyone try to guilt you into allowing this. Um, there are many places Abby can hold her events, um, maybe like a park, uh, like they do in Gig Harbor and Poulsbo. Um, please feel free to contact me with any questions and thank you for your time. Thank you. That ends our audience comments for this evening. All right, let's get uh and
024put on our action items. The the administration recommends the board approve the Sumner Bonney Lake School District 26-29 agreement for the Sumner Bonney Lake Principals Association. Do I have a motion? Thank you. Do I have a second? Second. Any discussion? All right, seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. All those opposed? Motion passes. All right, before our next action item, we have a presentation. Our capital projects and facilities manager, John Boatman, will present the job order contracting process, which is a procurement method for public works projects focusing on speed, efficiency, and cost control for smaller capital projects. Thank you, Board of Directors. Superintendent Dent, appreciate it. Uh, just real quick, want to uh introduce job order contracting, JOC. So, what is JOC? JOC is another type of procurement method that is allowed
025by Washington state alternative uh procurement method, similar to how we're already doing GCCM for some of the bond projects. This is another thing that's available to all public agencies under the RCW. It would be a 2-year uh agreement, uh so like an umbrella type of contract, and we could extend to a year three if we wanted to. All those things are covered in the J- in the uh RCW. It has a $4 million per year. Uh, it utilizes what we call a unit pricing. So, all the construction cost of everything that's included in it is already listed in a unit price book that contractors would use. It also allows us to really pretty much any of the smaller projects or the medium-size projects that we do under like I said under one umbrella contract and
026it really is about having a lot of more a lot more speed and efficiency when we're moving through these contracting times. Through all those small and and medium-size projects. So real quick a slide on the RCW 3910. These are the subsections of that. So JOCs are authorized under subsection 420 alternative public works. It's a competitive process selection that's covered under 430. There are contract limits like I just mentioned under 440 that includes no single work order can exceed $500,000. So again that kind of gives you an idea about how high these things can are allowed to go and it still in the RCW does still ensure a lot of transparency and accountability for each of the projects just like we do on all of our hard large bid projects as well. I do want to
027point out that also is compliant with current board policy 6220 and 6221. So again it's it's about being a little bit more efficient. We still have that fiscal responsibility that we do that we carry through all the things that we do in capital projects in the district does across the board. We will still have all the oversight and and our PO review process all those things still stay in place. So there's nothing different with our procurement under this as well how we conduct business these days. Benefits of job order contracting honestly it's just much faster at delivering the smaller projects. There's a lot less administrative burden, so normally you would have like very long time periods for like going through designs and permitting and constant bids and things like that. You have that cost certainty
028all the way through the unit pricing book because that's a published book. It's that's what the pricing is for the Seattle greater area. That's that's what it is. So we know exactly where all those those things are. We can still be flexible, so we can still be very quick and modify things on the fly as we need to. We know what those those things are going to cost right away. We don't have to go through a an extensive process if we need to stay flexible. And then all the contractors that we did talk with who actually competed for this work or are in the process of competing for this work talk about that relationship. Having that contractor right there with you for all the different types of needs that we might have that come up.
029Real quick and and this is a little bit smaller to see, but on the left side you have in blue the traditional you know architect engineer design design bid build construction type of a format. So going through all the different steps in there, it can take anywhere from 11 to 29 months. That's of course it depends on the complexity of the project and different things like that. Now on the right side in the green area for the JOC type work, it's a much smaller quicker process. So the first bullet there under program setup, we're already in that now. So really when we come back and talk with the board in June about approving a particular contract for this, we'll be stepping off on step two right away. We can pull work orders together in a
030week and work out the pricing and get those things under a purchase order within a very short period of time. So what doesn't it do? It doesn't replace our large project bidding. So, you have another item to approve on the agenda tonight. That project would not qualify for job order contracting. It also doesn't take the place of all the large projects that we're handling under the current bond. Um it's it's intended for uh projects that are going to not exceed the statutory limits. So, again, like I said, uh RCW 39.10, it's got a cap on the uh amount that we can do within a year. And also has a cap on the amount that we can do under one work order. If we know walking into it that a project is going to be, say,
031like an administration area remodel for Mountain View Middle School, we know it's going to be more than 500,000, we are not going to take it through job order contracting. That's not the purpose of this particular program. And uh like I mentioned before, it doesn't eliminate the need for oversight. We still manage the projects, we still manage the budgets, we still communicate with all of our stakeholders, those types of things. Um not a sole source procurement method. So, we still have our regular design bid build at our fingertips. We're still doing GCCM for those types of projects that require that type of methodology and procurement. So, it's just another tool in our toolbox to be able to use. Uh real quick, um a slide of all the public agencies that we know of currently right now
032using job order contracting in Washington state. We took the moment to like just in bold the other school districts that are doing it. So, like Washington, Mukilteo, North Shore, Spokane. There's a lot of other districts that are very interested in this, and they're probably going to be watching this video later on uh to see how that goes. But we're happy to help anybody do that. Um North Shore and Mukilteo have been been very helpful with us in in doing this. Um types of JOC type projects. I didn't want you to walk away going like, well, what exactly is it? So, all the building systems, so we're talking about everything from the roof all the way through the foundation, anything that needs to be replaced or renovated or updated, mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems, all those types
033of things, as well as everything out on the site, fencing, parking lots, uh preparation for playground equipment at maybe Maple Lawn that might be coming up. So, all those different types of things, life safety projects, I'm sure my friend um Mr. Shear will appreciate that as well. And then also for maintenance projects as well. Again, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, those types of replacements, if we needed it to um swap out a a chiller at a school as long as it was under that threshold dollar amount, we can use job order contracting to do those types of things. If we're going to do roofing at say Panther Cubs at the portables, uh you know, this summer, something like that, that's that could be job order contracting. So, how to implement? Where we go from here? Well, we
034did develop a program guideline. We did issue a request for proposals. We put out a notification and publication. We had several firms that responded to that. We did an evaluation process on those firms for their statements of qualifications, and we invited them back and they did an interview process, and we evaluated them on that as well. Then they submitted what we have at the bottom of this particular slide. They submitted a a sealed envelope with their their secret coefficients in there, and that's the um multiplier that you use for that job, um for the how should I say the um the the summary of the work, the scope of the work, the line item, the unit pricing. And then the the next thing will be when we come back to the board and asked uh
035for consideration and award of the contract in in June, that would be that that second to last, and then we have a little training that we'll do. How do we issue the actual work orders? It will still comply with our PO process, and we'll to sure that with the it's a seamless process all the way through. Um real quick a a a quick road map. So, once we have the contract in place, we identify what the project is, okay? Then we develop that scope of work, the more detailed scope of work, that still gives us a chance to engage in in directly with um our stakeholder group, so whether it be maintenance or whether it be a program uh area in the school district or it'd be a school principal. Then we use that unit
036price book to get the pricing put together and establish all those costs. We issue the actual work order and then like I mentioned before, we continue to monitor all the work all the way through, make sure it meets all the district's uh standards and needs and quite honestly, meet the goal of what it is that we're trying to accomplish with the work. Questions? No, it's so thorough. You pretty covered pretty I am under the time there, David. Good job. Thank you. Yeah. Some well All right. >> No questions then? It's pretty straightforward, yeah. Okay. Thank you for Yeah, no problem. >> making it so easy to understand. Yeah, happy to. All right. Next item on our agenda is an action item.

And I stopped by a Key Club meeting just at the Quonset today,
040and those kids planning the next year were all over this plan for next in the fall. And just sat back and watched them and just they take charge. Nice. Yeah.
