001first on the agenda is our bond projects discussion uh program manager Matt of Falcon and Fern and capital projects and facilities manager uh John will present a bond project update to the board of directors okay thanks happy to be here uh as introduced I am Matt ganians but you technical difficulties everyone just called me Matt G for the people I'm new to um and then John Bowman joined us in January he's got a wealth knowledge he's built over 62 schools 300 small projects and he's already made a great impact he's just a great asset to do reality checks and he knows what he's doing so thank you you want to say hi John hi Bor happy to be here very happy to be here that's right so we're gonna we're gonna talk about the projects
002we're going to talk about the Architects which is sort of the first step um talk about the schedule about the bond oversight committee which is new uh a new thing where doing uh the status of projects uh and then uh 's going to talk a little bit about Communications okay so overview these are all the projects that were identified on the bond that are voters thank you voters approved and that's the expansion of bnie Lake High School including Fields uh the continuation and completion of the summer High School master plan a new Middle School in tahal um Liberty Ridge and Crestwood their sister schools are very I they're almost like identical in terms of design they were designed the same with the same footprint or they're going to get a facelift uh Donald Eisman is
003going to get queuing improvements in fields daffodil Valley is going to get Field improvements and uh there's just going to be a host of energy improvements to help comply with the um energy codes in the state basically and Holly Heights and to Holly Heights thank you oh I missed that okay so Architects are really the first step of the process we we put out a request we received 14 applications it was pretty competitive we narrowed it down to five and then we brought in we formed a committee interviewed the five selected three um now that that once you select them there's a two-step process first you issue them a purchase order to get them going on the educational specification projects phase which is what we're in and in the meantime we're working on getting the
004actual architectural services that go from the beginning phase of design all the way through the end of the project going um got draft contracts out to all of them got comments back from one so we're just going through that process of you know they got to check with their insurance and get with their subc consultants and it's a lot of details you don't need to know about that's what we're doing right now this a little small to see but this is an important slide so this is a a this is the schedule we're working towards for all the bond projects um so I'm going to take you through each one if that's okay because there's going to be a lot of qu like this seems to be what everyone's asking about so let's just talk
005about it so they're Al the the top three projects are starting now in the green which is the design phase 2425 bnny Lake High School classroom Edition is going to start construction fall of 26 and finish in the fall of 28 at the latest uh suar high school phase 2 West building pretty much the same schedule I have it showing finishing a little later on this just to hedge my bets because there's a lot of unknowns with permitting it's a more complex project um and so but similar time frame starting in the fall of 26 finishing in the fall of 28 the new middle middle school in tal also will want to break ground in the fall of 26 maybe a little later maybe a little sooner and I have that scheduled to finish sort
006of in an awkward time which is the end of the year 28 so not the school year but calendar year 28 that's just where it's Landing in our planning right now I would love to deliver that to the district the fall of 28 but that's a little early there's a lot of factors that play into it so that the chances are low but that's sort of my internal Target fall of 29 is what I would recommend we as a district broadcast as our Target opening day but there's a lot that needs to happen the developer needs to build their Road and bring all the infrastructure to the school we need to get obviously permits their Architectural Review Board into Al um you know the district has to do a lot of internal coordination before we
007can even be ready to open a new school there just a lot that goes into it that's that's the general timeline of the three big projects in the bond in the meantime we're kicking off soon um the next few projects which are the Liberty Ridge and Crestwood improvements uh to Holly Heights Elementary um expansion the do eisan queuing and parking and Deale fields that the the the last two I said the two the two that involve Fields really eisan and Donald Deo Valley the timing for that's kind of important because you want to get out to bid like in the end of the winter at the latest because you want to get on the schedule because all these Turf companies they get super busy in the summer so you got to sort of like lock
008them in in January February March otherwise you lose them until the next year so that's internally that's the schedule we're working towards and then you know the last big project is the master plan buildout we'll get into the details all this but that one starting sort of in 28 in design with construction starting maybe in 29 maybe in 30 the reason the reason that's I we could do it all now right but we promised the voters that we would keep their tax rate steady in order to do that we need to issue Bond sales at a certain pace you can see at the top of the the screen that the bond sales schedule um and so I can't really go I could go faster than that but we can't because of promises we've made and
009Promises we're going to keep so that's that's why the rest of the summer buildout is pushed out um a little bit later and then sort of in the meantime that teal bar at the bottom represents the Energy Efficiency improvements which you know involves LED lighting and other controls um upgrades and that's just sort of going toen happen school by school over this time period till it's done any questions on the schedule and the dollars add up so that's good I'm gonna now hand it over to John who's goingon to talk to you about the B Bond oversight committee Bond over oversight committee thanks mat um so as you know you approved this back in January um so they're going to represent a pretty much a nice showing of the community itself um they've done their
010applications and they've been notified other persons that are going to be on there there was quite a few applications but not everybody can be on on the committee there's 12 I believe and um they do represent um a lot of different backgrounds as well I I wrote them down um and they're both from Sun and from Bonnie Lake so we've got uh people that have a manufacturing background we've got engine years uh person that even works in the healthcare industry and that type of thing so we think it's it's a really good showing of what we have and that is going to meet uh it's two-year commitment to start off the bond oversight committee will go and letter did reflect that it's at least through 95% of the bond expenditure so it'll go several years
011two-year commitment and then they'll have an opportunity if they want to withdraw or we do more applications or if they want to continue that type of thing so we have that built in Penny maybe is going to come in and moderate uh this first set of meetings so we have a meeting in in March and then in June and September and then because of the holidays we're going to skip over December and go straight to January with the next meeting because I don't think any I'm I don't know if I show up at the 28th of December for a meeting so um and then if you have any questions on any of the things we can talk about that at the end so but this is good it's a great step for transparency we as
012a team are looking forward to the oversight to be honest like we we want to do a good job so that that committee is actually our cheerleaders and our voice out in the community because we're doing such a good job so that's cool okay now this says priority projects it's a bit of a misnomer I just they're just the first three we're doing because they are the most complex other than the High School summer High School build out and they have the longest runway to take off so we had to start them like right now to make to make timelines and those are the Bonnie Lake High School expansion some their high school phase 2 and the new middle school andol so the Bonnie Lake High School expansion we're going to add 10 to 12
013classrooms we're going to give the school a new prominent entrance now the building this building that was developed is conceptual it may be rotated this way it might be turned another way but the end goal is to solve their capacity issues and give a prominent entrance to the school so you know where the front is which is like an old thing Bonnie Lake High School if you know you know right there's a back front and a front front it's kind of silly at the same time we're gonna Turf the fields um that that the fields sort of in the top of the the screen and that top right and then also the baseball field and we're anticipating some traffic impacts that we're going to have to mitigate so in parallel building the intersection out probably
014going to be a traffic circle that seems to be the only thing that's working from a traffic engineer standup uh point of view we've looked at everything from just improving the road all the way to 104 that would be a nightmare we've looked at adding turn lanes and changing the signalization but none of it works as well as a two- ring traffic circle so we're meeting with the city of Bonnie Lake later this month to go through this and we've already met with the county they don't really care so that's great um and uh we're doing the educational specifications committee right now which is the group that basically says okay what is going to go into this new building it's a great group there's 30 people ton of energy lots of passion lots of teachers
015as well as students uh RTC like it's it's a very wide spectrum of participants and our architect is bcra very impressed with them they're doing a great job and the meetings are actually kind of fun so we're we're probably about halfway through that process suar High School master plan so we're starting with the west building which looks kind of like the phase one building it's just closer to Wood Avenue um that is going to be HUD Aris is the name of the Architecture Firm one of their team members was instrumental in The Phase One Design Andy catro and when blrb um dissolved unfortunately he is now working for head of B ARA so it's nice because we get that continuation of institutional knowledge into the new project didn't just lose out on it um and
016then we'll start the design of the rest of the school buildout probably around the time that we're wrapping the phase two up you know Matt I saw one of the students um who's on the EDP committee yeah so excited to be on the committee oh yeah so I don't know which which school was Bon Le sem High School oh okay yeah she's super excited oh yeah she's she's also I think RTC inter both of the students on both of the high schools are RTC jrtc the leadership opportunity I was RT TC um so there you see the gold is the phase one to the left is the phase 2 West building it includes a animal science structure and a greenhouse a large expansion of the Wood Avenue parking lot um yeah then we'll get to
017the so once we finish phase two most of the educational General educational functions are going to be housed in Phase One and phase two I think except for literally a handful of classrooms everything is going to be in those two buildings and then the the the future phases which is the East building that's really going to be your Arts music Sports the gyms the weight rooms the locker rooms the administration counseling everything else is going in the the pool obviously um and there's going to be a lot of planning here because when we finish the phase two we're probably going to demolish some of the existing school to make room for parking which is part of our deal with the city we have an existing development agreement that uh had a Sunset of 10 years
018with a renewal period we already have our conditional use permit so there's a lot of like the sea environmental stuff's all been done for this school so it's really just rock and roll like we're already picking out where we're going to do our our test um boring for the geot tech probably going to be the same Foundation deep we you know for those who don't know we sunk 100 foot deep 36 inch diameter piles in for the phase one building because the because of the valley soils and my paranoia we we wanted to just make sure that in a seismic event that building like everybody knew they could go to the high school the whole Community it's going to be the same standard for phase two um the new Middle School into H this is
019this is big so uh to orient you so you see the tahal uh Heights Elementary expansion pin and the Donald Eisman que and parking and then to the you got go around to the south east and loop around that's where the new school is beautiful site I just found out today they cleared it it used to be just forested so I need to go check that out um edpc team is identified there that's M granan Architects they're also doing a great job um and we've already started the edpc meetings for that that one's super interesting because unlike the other two projects we discussed where they're just trying to figure out what programs are going to go into the expansion or the new building with Tally middle school which I talked to you a little a
020little bit about here it's like what what is our what is our uh personality What's the culture going to be you know what is our student look like it's pretty cool to start with a blank slate on such a big school you know it's the 900 student school oh question yes you requirements from the county about replacement trees what's their requirement for that take out that many and and had home to put in you to put correct many back I what that's a good question um and a thoughtful question so the the the developer so we are purchasing the land from tahal the developer that's not their technical name but let's just call them tahal the developer they have done a two or three decade long master plan that uh covers the entire this more
021than what's on this screen actually yeah basically what's on this what's on this screen this is all the development huge development it includes storm water facilities sewer treatment plants like it's it's a whole thing so the short answer to your question is it's not our problem because the developers taking care of that they're part of our purchase and sale agreement with them is for them to devel deliver a pad ready lot to our grading specifications with utilities and Road ready to go which is really nice have to and all new you know that with the summer High School the just doing the sewer retrofit work that the required was a nightmare in Main Street it's so shallow because we're in the valley right the sewer is running so shallow and so flat like there was
022no room for error so this is going to be far more pleas okay so the other projects that are not lower priority they're just after are going to be the queuing and parking so Donald Eisman they've got with so many of our schools postco with parents driving their kids you know we've got queuing issues so we're going to expand the Que queing Lanes build out the parking lot and also do Field improvements there and to Holiday Heights Elementary we're going to do the expansion which for those who don't know that school was designed to be expanded in the exact spot that we're going to be doing the expansion so a lot of forethought with the district back then so that defal Valley Field and then the Crestwood Elementary and Liberty Ridge which are going to
023be interior and exterior remodels all that will start soon let's just say some of it not is not is going to start before this summer and fall but all will be started by the summer and fall in terms of selecting The Architects and getting it design going and then getting it for permit L I'm gonna Now bring up L who's gonna talk about the communication so we're doing great work we're already doing work um and we need to tell our voters what we're doing some of it's not visible to everyone it's inside some of our buildings committees and so what we're what we're doing and part of you'll see some strategies here on this slide um these are our overall strategies but Within These strategies there's various tactics and timelines so for example for strategy
024a we have here is just building the the communication toolkit and that means the bond identity so there's our tagline which is some our bond L builds love the alliteration it's strong this is exactly what we're doing and then coming up with a visual identity as well and using that through all of our communication so that's going to be on our website social media it'll be on the banners outside of the project sites so people are going to know what some Nani leg is some Nani leg builds is and what it means um so it's really getting all of our um the presentation templates so the next time you have a presentation by this group there's going to have a a template we're going to use these templates when we go out to the community
025to update them as well so it's really coming up with a suite of materials um all branded people know we're talking about the bond they're going to know how what the progress as well um and also some key messages and so that's not only going to place in the Communications office is also going to go to the buildings the project sites those schools are also going to be communicated as well and so it's going to be a robust communication plan it's still in development but we're still working on under that strategy a so next time it will be before you you'll you'll see some progress with that and we do have a website robust website already susd.org construction um we're working on building a a purchasing a domain as well so again really making it
026visible of Sumer Bonnie Lake builds and what we're doing with the progress even when they can't see it off of Main Street for example it's going to be quite a while before we go vertical with anything they can see so it's really up to us to tell the story what they can't see um so one way we're doing that you know 320 this is a a preview of The Next Issue coming out the first week in April this is going to be redesigned but the bond is going to be here and we have the orange color the construction Orange orange that is um going to be playing off of what we have in our fa information campaign so again already starting with the with the the brand there um and then building out the website
027the timelines are important everyone does absolutely want to know when is it going to be when's it starting when's it going to be finished um so that will be definitely front center in all of our Communications be awesome El do a great honestly I I didn't this is off topic but I needed to fill out a cultural resource application for suar high school and I was able to go all the way back to the task force material like through time and find the slide that I was looking for that had the dates of each section of the school like it's all if anybody's interested it's all there it's great we're GNA finish with questions now I I ripped through that presentation there's a lot going on and as usual there's um I hear rumors and
028I'm like what where did you get this from like so if you if it wasn't in here it's probably not true but I want I want you to feel armed with all the information like comfortable know the project so we can slow it down a bit now take our time and go through questions go I can go back project to project whatever you want to do questions or comments or question project estimates yes you watch that very carefully what you're doing so yes so um project estimates is a it's it's kind of like rolling wave planning we we we I we spent the last few years doing the feasibility to identify the projects that the um that the um Capital facilities committee approved to put on the bond and as part of that we had
029to develop sort of schematics or conceptual designs and then we estimated all of them so we have our estimates and they're escalated with inflation through to the midpoint of the bond so that's our sort of that's what came up to the 732 million obviously my personal goal is to beat every one of those John to all of us by the way Marina would love to be here she's so sad she's not here because she's stuck in Kona Hawaii but normally she um so I but I digress so as we develop each one whether usually we contract with the Architects but we also have an independent estimator who will use to back check the architect's estimates but when you when you develop a school project you de you you write what's known as a maximum allowable
030construction cost the Mac for sure so we did a charter which is a onepage document that's signed by Lori Brian the CFO myself that says we are committing to building this okay and it says exactly what you're going to do for the project and no more here's the budget here's the maximum allowable construction cost the the The Architects are obligated by contract to design a building that meets that that Mac and then they do you know there's three levels of design schematic design development and construction documents at each stage they have to do another estimate basically to check to make sure they're still on budget um I've been tweaking that a little bit like that third one I wanted a little earlier because I want it in time so that because if we do it
031at the end of construction documents at that point you've already burned the architectural hours what are you going to do I want to know halfway in that we're over budget so we can adjust fire and value engineer certain things out also we're obligated to do a value engineering exercise on each of these projects I forget where it is like halfway through DD or something like that around there yeah halfway through the design process where they come in analyze all the project documents put up a list of potential areas where we could cut costs out of and then we'll present that to you as well which we normally do and along with our recommendations like sometimes it's like yeah that would save money but that would compromise the feel or the look or the goals or
032the promises in the bond or whatever so we as a team decide which ones of those we take and which ones we don't also also um there's a part of the process and forgive me if you all know this but it's good to remind when you go out to bid you also offer out something called add alternates okay so it's like hey contractor you're bidding this project but also bid these other things that we would kind of like to have but we don't know if we can afford yet and then when they come back with their bids we'll look at it if their base bid is lower than the budget then we will then look at the ad alternates and go okay can we afford all of these do we want to do all these
033can we only afford three of these which ones do we want to do and of course the board is part of that decision as well sorry that was a long answer short question on the budget BR is there big concerns about increasing costs with tariffs you know it's that are here or not here I mean yeah it's like take this one if you want you go ahead okay so yes but at the same time no so while tariffs are having a little bit of a ripple effect through the different Industries and the different materials and things that support those Industries and the building components that they rely to we're seeing also a little bit of a drop in petroleum so the price of oil right now is a little bit down so all those petroleum
034based products are actually looking pretty good and they're not being assessed the same kinds of tariffs so yes but at the same time no and I think that when everything gets done and the economists are kind of looking at what's happening because we do keep our tabs on what's happening with different things so I could have told you like a year ago uh switch gear you couldn't get it for 15 months well now it's getting down to like 10 months so great but we're having a hard time getting field turfs so which we want to take a look at doing that a little bit earlier so when we do the field Turf we're not sitting there waiting for it to show up and it doesn't get here until until August and we wanted it in
035June so things like that so not just with the tariffs themselves but just across the board with all the economies of all the different types of materials that affect construction keeping our finger on that very much he's so good I'm so glad you're here uh also you know like CPI index was like four year low this morning you know and we ALS there's two years before we actually put any I mean except for the smaller field projects which we were talking about our strategies for getting the turf figured out for the large projects that consume a lot of resources we have two years before that happens who knows what it's going to be that's why we escalated the inflation to halfway through the bond to account for some of that which is a responsible action
036to take I discussed that with Brian today and he was B on some of it but you're good overview yeah I mean you know you can't know what you can't know but and then ultimately look if if something catastrophic happens economic globally like people will understand hey maybe we need to make some adjustments but right now I'm not worried well I think that's where good you know open communication plan so people are following along and understand we're going to take a look at you know State assistance construction program from OSBI take a look at how we qualify for that have had some conversations marine and I and we need to bring you into those too about other types of Grant programs that are out there ones that I didn't even know about until last week
037I'm like oh okay there there could be some more monies that we can go after and what that does it stretches the dollars the classroom side of things a little bit more so we're we're definitely going to dive into every opportunity that we can for the district for the community so that's right and and the bond dollars 732 excludes any state match so you know we kind of have an idea of what it might be but until it happens it's not real and you don't get those dollars until after you've spent the dollars on that project so we can't like count on it for the projects we do want to have that we have planned but if you know if the economy doesn't have a problem and the inflation doesn't chew up that margin that
038might result in some money at the end that you know we can talk about how best to use in the district you think federal funds are concerned about no we don't it's all state I mean there might be some grants some energy grants things but a lot Lu with the with the Federal Energy grants the last one sorry for another District that I did the packet was honestly like a quarter of an inch I was like I I don't have the resources to do this so like the federal stuff is is more difficult uh the local stuff is it's much easier for us to to go after those the psse grants like they want to give them they've been very helpful um with our Energy Efficiency stuff that's where they're going to be looking at
039at that um yeah this district is very good at Grants they do a good job going out Marina yeah Marina's amazing at it so we've got two now great lines at that we don't have to includ with Bill those conversations are so boring but necessar what else I really appreciated now you said that we're gonna get our own domain for this project because I actually already had a community call me last week and say what's going on with the bond what are you guys doing and said well tune in for this this study session you'll learn a lot um but I think and what I did was I said well go to the website and you can you'll find this information there but I do appreciate that he that he won't have to click through
040like having our own domain for the bond project like is is extremely critical um that way when we end up in conversations we can say great you can go right to this website not a back slash this for SL that it's this is the website you can go to um and find the latest update I think that's going to be pretty critical we and we want you to relay like we are full steam ahead you know we Bond pass in November come January we had the Architects figured out come February we started the edpc process we're halfway or a third of the way depending on the project through that process and all the Architects have come to me and said I think we can beat the schedule that you have not promising it they they
041tend to be optimistic bsers a little bit I enjoy the enthusiasm so John and Mt reality yeah grumpy grumpy construction guy so yeah so we're I don't think we could do anym actually so it's been going very very well and the your hour people who come to these EDS speec meetings are so invested it's really really impressive like it's great will you give them an idea of what like happens at EDP I was ask sure so the first one is not I would say mat G territory it's super touchy feeling like brain you know how do you want to feel in the new school and like What feelings do you have when you see this picture you know they do that part right and you you put dots on the things you like and the
042things you don't like shortly after that goes back into Magi territory and you're like okay how much how much square footage does ROTC need how much square footage does robotics need let's go look at the robot like we'll all get up walk over to the robotics classroom and talk to the robotics teacher tell me about your space what are your headaches uh one of the one of the biggest eye openers was the DLC at Bonnie Lake High School like what these this staff I'm getting a chos this staff like they're doing what's sorry it's developmental Learning Center so kids with disabilities some of them very severe and they're we are taking care of them during the school day like fully right and yeah I mean it inspired me to make sure they have a great
043home in the addition L's on board with that so um yeah uh you guys visit like other school districts or schools in school districts I did it once for like the suar Middle School rebuild and we went on like a field trip and went to other school districts we have one planned we're not sure if we're going to need to have it but we do have one planned it sort of depends on the project so for the middle school we have one plan to go see a comparable tall new Middle School that was built on a relatively Clear Sight which is a nice you know analogy for art to Holly Middle School but separately like with the CTE director we went and looked at a bunch of different commercial kitchens for a culinary program or
044whatever so we're we're constantly going around and even for the tally Middle School some of the meetings are at lak Ridge some of the meetings are at Mountain View so so that group can see the different Middle School environments and how they run and what the pluses and minuses are of each you said that it was 30 people is it 30 people for all the projects or does each project have its own group each each project has its own distinct group there's no overlap except for our team John me and Maria um and that like like John mentioned there's like well no I I you didn't mention I mentioned there's a huge uh cross-section well usually a lot of teachers but students some just community members who signed up yeah there's several community members students
045and and U Administration as well as teachers and then like Matt was saying I'll I'll just you know kind of take where you're going and keep going with it so we have the the the first couple meetings like a kickoff meeting and then we start bringing in smaller sets of the groups to talk about those individual needs um that relate to those programs themselves so it's not like you've got 30 people and we're all talking about what size that the robotics area needs to be it's a little bit more focused on that type of thing so we do a series of those meetings and then we come back to the main group and we kind of resmar all of what we've learned with the main group and then that's the conclusion of the edpc then
046it's on to the architect's office to pull all that together and then create the design the space design the adjacencies and things like that as to to meet the program and then that's when the Design's part begins so yeah the edpc is like a written design and then they draw based on that those words it's also a required part of the process for the state match like for example last Thursday we met with uh robotics uh core Plus which is the aviation maintenance at Summer High School uh you know the cad lab or whatever and then this Thursday we're meeting with uh what we meeting with DLC yeah DLC and phography oh Child Care yeah so new home for the tiny spars keep going what else do you got I I was kind of I
047guess maybe a little bit surprised that the that the Sumer High School um part was going to be a little bit looks like it's just a little bit behind Bonnie Lake and take longer just because I I think you even said it too that we already have some permits and things in place I guess I was just anticipating that would start faster but it would be easier to get started but yeah um it so part of it is permitting part of it is just unknowns they could end up being at the exact same time part of that visual was look here's sort of the r i mean it's not an exact eror right they kind of he here that's the range of when it's GNA happen it might finish first you know might finish first
048and then also on the ADP component of sunar high school so we're taking the time to also take a look at the programs that will be affected in the next phase can't necessarily plan 100% of the programs for a new independent building that's going to be connected to the existing Building without knowing what is going to be left that we'll have to work through that'll be in the next space so it's really a little bit more comprehensive over the edpc process we're not going to go back and do like a new edpc for phase three it's going to be established and what we get to do is we get to start moving after the building's being built move directly into design on the next phase also with Bonnie leak High School when we finish we're
049finished they move into the new classroom they start working with suar high school even if we finish the new building they move in we still then have to go demolish the old building make it safe and turn into parking lot so there's a few months there at the tail end that will automatically make it longer okay did you have anything I'm always just so when Matt talks I just buy it no I you guys laid it out so well and I I was trying to think of the question de could asked and I think we've we've covered all those and I know when I looked at s High School I also know the two places I've worked longest rent Renton and Su are both on Valley fls and um both went through remodels and I
050know that anytime you're working in the sup with the valley floor you you just have to build any extra time because things happen that's right yeah there's more Foundation time for sure so fun to watch those during the rain season floor just kind of right no matter what anytime train Rolls by you feel great update and if there are any other questions that you have we're happy to work with Dr Dent's office to to filter those back and everything else do you have ideas on the only because I walk up there each morning on the Donald Eisman the Q which God bless you for doing it yeah um what that might look like or what's going to entail yeah we have because there's already like a soupy kind of grassy area in the front every
051morning yeah so that's going to turn into as basically that's the short version of the story but we have a schematic design that we use to do the estimates um but it it's going to develop when we actually bring the designer that probably won't be an architect it'll just be our landscape architect or a landscape architect we have Eng something and a civil engineer and they'll they'll design it because they got to work in coordination with a traffic engineer and tall engineer there lot of Engineers how what's the what's the pain Point going to look like for the parents during the con so all the queuing projects clearly like we already have queuing issues but while you're doing the construction to improve that is it going to be harder for them how is that part
052of the process to try to make that as painless as possible or not make things worse before we make them better always it's really I mean it's going to be I don't I'm not as worried about like donman queuing because we're going to build the lot and then tie it in and asphalt really takes a day or two it's not so getting the permit and getting the landscape and the irrigation the curbs and all that takes the time but that's going to be in a place where there's currently nothing it's just the tie-in points that are going to be so I don't think I I'm not as worried about that so what No Interruption is what I'm saying they'll still be queuing the way they're queuing while the construction's happen then correct well I mean
053there might be a temporary reroute but it's going to going to be coordinated with the school and we're going to communicate it with the community and everything same with lake bridge it's not a bond project but we're do you know planning the queing for that it's going to be the same we're going to build it off the side then tie it in when we're done basically yeah the pain points at Summer High School are going to be more if you'd like to ask about that be prepared for questions what I mean then she brought it up yeah what I mean what do you anticipate some of the highle pain right so once we move most of the general education classrooms over to the east Wing that's going to be just like phase one moving over
054furniture and all the adjustments back ktie was all over this yeah so so phase one phase two West gets built everyone moves over they start complaining about my room's too hot my room's too cold to bring in the engineers they tweak the valves on the muffler bearing or whatever and then they they fix it right but Phase 2 East Building if you'll notice the pool exists where the current pool exists the pack exists where the current gym exists right so those programs are going to have to find temporary accommodations during construction because we're not going to build a temporary pool or a temporary gym so there will be not not so much in this first round of projects this one's sort of off in the field it's not going to affect anything Bonnie Lake High
055School expansions is going to be in the front so there'll be some inconvenience but there'll be a temporary safe walking path to get into the school not a big deal and uh as well as meting all of our requirements for ESS and all those things yeah tally middle amazing Green Field no there's nobody to AFF um but yeah phase two East that's phase three I guess it's going to be that's going to be interesting so people like uh what's yeah she raised her hand at uh r rotary and said I you know I heard a rumor that our program is going to be affected for one season and I said that rumor is false you're going to be affected for two seasons amazing oh that's the thing right a little pain for generations of Awesomeness
056yeah yeah have wants a rock like in B Lake High School what's that she wants to rock like Bonny Lake High School well that's funny because Bonny Lake High School wants a 20 foot tall m SC like they have at some constantly playing who gets the Skittles gets the Skittles so I just I guess I should notice if I don't but the all the new field work and like the tennis courts say that fall within which that's gonna H that's going to happen with phase three in the future because the the storm water detention and for those of you whove heard me speak know that there's two things that limit development Statewide storm water and parking so in order to maintain the storm water from all that roof footprint or detain it that structure whatever
057it is is going to go in that underneath that field okay so that kind of has to get demolished and the storm structure has to go in as we're building the phase three in order to have that water go somewhere it'll be the last thing developed like the turf will go on last and the um tennis courts and lighting will go on last but we're working on potential temporary solutions for for baseball softball so for fast pitch sorry sorry so baseball fast pitch tennis not necessarily soccer since they can use the existing football correct yeah so just those three cross use that's right and they can use the field it's gonna be it's going to be interesting I mean and it's not going to happen in vacuum we're going to be working with these program
058coaches and the you know and uh Jeff Baines um to figure it out but it's it's going to be tough like it's going to be good safe but it's not going to be easy you'll get the most probably the most pain point will be the families that have seniors during those Seasons correct of closure to their yeah they should start to think about closing out their sophomore year in in some ways though they're going to come back when they're in College home and be telling the war stories to the young on who get the nice new school so there's two sides of that coin and we've had the Bus kids from practices and that in other sports when we've had problems with pool or we've had problems with when the stadium was changed over to
059tur and that so it's it's not easy to spend time yeah it's just the nature of the site it's a very tight site for the massive school that you have so it's like when you're cleaning out a closet or grush sometimes you got make a mess before you put it all back together well and we may have I me we have options fish I know the coach pretty well um where they're currently playing baseball I'm sure we can Lor's already probably working on agreements with the city for Bill he and stuff so I mean it's block away it's it's doable for those Sports in Lacrosse like you said we got now Stadium may be used till 3: or 4 in the morning but options right it's those programs will have the easiest hard time it's
060the gym gym programs Choir performing arts band yeah they are going to have the toughest time but we will work it out I think that it'll be key to getting in front of those groups the soonest so that they're not having to hunt that information like we get in front of them as soon as possible to let them know this is coming like you know we know you saw this information when you voted on it but it may not have really solidified for you we're going to need to solidify that for them and start talking to them important yeah and realistic options because they can get some pretty crazy ideas we had to live through when we had to do well I I would say involving them in the process would be in which we
061do a great job of doing with all the different committees but maybe there's going to need to be a a a gym pool Choir performing arts band Committee of parents that want to come in and and be part so at least when it gets painful for them they will have feel like they're part of the process and they can then also be Advocates as well so I think those committees are probably going to need to be looked at and as soon as we can so that they understand what's coming well that's how far down go too oh five five years so parents now yeah it'll be a different group of people but I mean look at that look at that site we have to do all the sidewalks from that site improve all the crosswalks
062and all the intersections there's a lot a lot going on here and like you said for a school that size having looked for that is probably one of the smallest Footprints yeah the numbers we have it's going to be great it's going to be amazing it's already I mean Phase One Is Awesome every time there you we get to use that the library for our first edpe meeting it's first I mean I've been in that Library thousand times right but to actually use it and be like man this is nice the Acoustics are nice air flow is nice the lighting's nice like we did a good job worked out well yeah man I just appreciate that you you care about our kids I've never had a program manager he called me he was like Lord
063these DLC teachers they're incredible I'm like yeah but I've never had a program manager care to that level that I mean he talks about the developmental Learning Center never had that happen ever I was thinking the same thing construction Matt is sitting here telling someone what DLC stands for and knows that program I mean that is like the bookends of yeah making something really fabulous right like so well thank you but it's not me it's because you guys have taken me as a family and we're a family and we got to solve these problems together so thank you for caring yeah of course thank you all you do I'm going to learn together with you come we all learn from that sit back and we listen and yeah times Matt was working on we were
064just talking about it oh my God this it's GNA turn in a m so just like there was a drainage problem and we're out there the next thing you know he's taking off the manhole cover and crawling down trying to figure out I did do that where the D Wat it wasn't the first one I've done for district probably will be the last but but that was yeah I'm also the neighbor of whisper since we're praising you if you have a problem neighbor just give me a call I will well you and Mr Timmons are like this I got his truck filled up with gas thank you course remember this when something goes wrong be perfect for the next eight years there's gon to be issues okay questions or comments thank you thank you very
065much thanks John yeah thanks foring the team yes thank you thanks for having B's very like like you're discussing it Bill's very team very fan my here and uh I like to feel involved cherish very much and I only live six and a half miles away So Perfect by the way something you don't know we're also I think really agile for school district I don't know how we compare to others but like Architects have a question boom text lawyer call the lawyer do boom get an answer right to the architect like John can you find this he finds it out so like The Architects don't wait for the school district to have a committee meeting to find out like we just get it to them so like keep feeding the machine so they can keep
066moving forward it's so important for their productivity well I think it's it's a reflection on the district itself you know and look at you know David and different folks here and it's like it just feels that way so when we do have a question we do have a challenge or something it's like we we get together we talk about it we you know spearheaded together and it's it's fun I we hit it off like on the first week I was here I was like oh this is good yeah have a lot of fun that's why I vacuum so you can call me and just like it's all done just keep vacing it's funny okay forward to the next presentation thank you look forward to see you again yeah by you all right so that brings
067us to board discussion discussion tonight two little things okay one of them I probably already know the answer to this but um I was driving today and for work and I was listening to the radio and Seattle School District obviously had a recent tragedy and um those parents had not been contacted by the district or school and it just seemed appalling to me so this is at least what two weeks ago and I don't I'm sure that there's legal things and I'm sure there's all kinds of things but the fact that these parents are on the news talking to people and have no contact from the district at this point seemed wrong and I certainly would not ever want to hear something like that about our school district and I don't think I would um
068but I just you know thought I'd bring that up today because I think and it was you know I first I I don't believe everything I hear on the news and people who get interviewed because I know that you know they try really hard they'll find somebody to say anything but these were the actual parents and they had talked to the school who said they are trying to the but well I can't speak for Seattle um but Kelly Ben who is right behind you has ran our crisis response too many times um too many times and I think she could tell you what that in this District communicating with parents would be a priority yeah I knew that like said I'm bringing it up and I already knew the answer for our district but I
069just felt like that was important um and was extensive checklist all of those details can't leave any yeah I mean what a tragedy and then feel left I think we do when we've run into crisis in the past in the district I've noticed that there is limitations put on by the police department I'm sure there are it's their what do you want to call it their their investigation what they're doing in the district that gets pushed to the side but I think that's where parents don't know that don't know how those things work so I don't know if there's a communication Pro uh something we can put together now before a crisis happens so that our parents understand when there's a crisis or when there's a lockdown or they driving by and they saw an
070ambulance in front of a school like those things that maybe we could start educating them now on what that process is and what our limitations are when we can and can't be public with information yeah and and in this particular case I mean they weren't talking about just the families and the parents at the school they were talking about the actual parents so so I want to be really clear Seattle and again I do not right I talk about Seattle they had a student die yeah uh in I mean the right like so they had a student die big difference between like a lockdown and we do have an emergency communication protocol online for families so they know if we go into lockdown this is going to happen this is how we're going to communicate
071with you um for that exact reason Kevin so that parents do know and it's been on there we go over it several times um I'll put it together a few years ago Brian has a as a part of our safety plan um yeah we can never compromise with and it's on the website yeah well I think what we have with parents sare obviously gives a really good platform communication as well so but JB we would totally yeah I mean I know the answer I just but thank you for bringing that up it's always good to this week at my elementary one child that let got to go back to school and they have to walk down there not understanding what's going on so it's good to keep them informed my other question or my other
072comment or or topic our discussion is prob of Mor around Brian but with um you know a lot of the changes with uh Federal funding and that sort of thing maybe just understanding a little bit like what is the potential impact to our school district um and should we be thinking about that or preparing for some of that in some ways Brian and I talked about this a lot well we should however we should keep in mind that 7% of our total fundings from the federal government so 83% is not from state and local money um we don't know what could happen to the federal but we're pretty confident that the national school lunch program is not going to go away and that's about half of that 7% so we're left with the other half
073which is Title One Two Three 4 n um I ieda money for special education but those are so small in comparison to what the state and local property taxpayers pay for but it still could be impactful on individual programs but the big picture not super impactful individual programs potentially and we're looking at that Brian I thought in our district we're like 3.9% right Federal 7% overall Federal for total revenues okay um but when you look at educational program it's probably closer 3% because such a large percentage is the national school lunch program which is you know oh you million dollar right yeah yes the million dollars I thinking percentages yes yeah no and realize our total expenditures are going to approach 200 million so you know round off to four million for I think we're
074going to start to hear about districts around us that are probably have a little more percentage of federal funding are going to start seeing some impacts and I think people are going to become concerned because they don't know they don't what the percentage in Auburn versus our percentage versus other districts they're going to start hearing about on the news you will and realize like the title one money is tied to kind of your um less fortunate families your you know economically disadvantaged is the term commonly used in schools and as you have a higher percentage of those types of students well then you'll have a higher percentage of federal money because Federal money is meant to be for the most part A supplement onto the state and local programs so it's meant to be additional
075services that you can provide because you have some disadvantaged students so you have a lower percentage of that you have less of that money I'm assuming we don't have a lot of that but then there's also like impact a right right so like if if you have if a school districts that's right next to let's say a military base military base that you're not getting any kind of tax basis off of property taxes because of that so we do have um districts I assume we are not we we do not well it's interesting OSI released a heat map yesterday we saw it anybody it's really interesting you can click on and see which districts like Clover Park Clover Park is a big receiver of impact that's a lot it looks great when you look at
076us I think they have us popped up at 3.7 so we look awesome compared to all the distri I was clicking on I too just well I guess the thing I would just say is if we start to feel like there's program you know the programs that might be impacted you know we try to think about that I guess as early as possible how we might be able to and like laor said we started to discuss that early early but the federal government has says they're doing a 90day review of everything I don't know how many days are into it probably 20 days or so and guess more to come yeah people at the state level and Lori and all the superintendents are looking at that really the Nationwide level I guess thank you that
077was kind of my question just was get a better sense of How It's Gonna impact us if it does we have real close about everything going on we're informative that way so it's all coming from apprciate all that you did today thanks thanks for coming up to the table thank you Bri so people can hear you online I understand that you don't have to leave seat that was all I had question else any you know our visits we'll talk about do panthers are coming next week just so you know so we can celebrate recognize them their accomplishments can't wait they're a Special Olympics basketball team oh cool Su span there's nice I I didn't get it nobody has anything else then we can be adjourned good
