Yeah, Beth can speak to this as well, but we were working with staff and they had one person lead their group, their company who actually we're working with. So they had a name now same group, same project, same people that we're working with. No issues at all, but it was just something for our purposes. So essentially the same people Thank you. Item number seven are some presentations and the first real quick Kevin, while you're there, can
003you come up here? All right. So, this guy because he knows I always work here. Does an awesome job for us. Kevin's always here bright and early. Comes on the weekends when he is. He takes care of everything that needs to be taken care of around here. He's also another guy here. But we appreciate the work. I know a lot of you know appreciative. It's always chipper. It's hot. It's always Yeah, it's looking good. Things are moving along. Really appreciative of the work they've done to us here. Just wanted to say thank you. I don't know. You can always hang this in my office wherever you want. Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> All right. Item number seven is uh we're going to have a bond update, but it says bond oversight committee and this wanted
004to say something real quickly. Appreciate we part of our community. We're grateful to have some amazing people there and very well invested in the community for a long time. Grateful she's here with us. So, thank you. >> Thanks. So, um >> that's I I'm the on the committee. I was the one that volunteered to come in front of you every couple times that you need us to talk to you about the health is. You all know that part of a having a bond means that you have to have an oversight committee and it has to consist of certain types of people. I get to be the community member at large. I think I don't know something like that. Uh I've lived out here probably longer than most of you been alive. Um so uh we
005met a week ago. It was like our third meeting and we continue to ask questions. That's what I appreciate about the people that did get on this bond committee is they're asking a lot of questions. There a lot of people that have a vested interest here. So we have a little bit of a PowerPoint to show you and I'll do my best to explain things um you know from the outside in but on the bond so far and I have to say that for myself I look at everything in a lot of different manners know my background is as a government economics teacher and I'm really pleased when I look at some of the numbers of what we're doing but the projects we completed so far I think are important because we need to see
006something right away people who are voters and give up their money. They really like to see something right away. And you know, painting the school of arts is was needed. It needed a paint job. Getting camera updates in today's world, we all know that we need to do this. Um doing HVAC. Hallelujah. We all are happy about that. I talk to people about Hback around our older schools all the time. The Toyan campus needed a better signage up front to really what it was. There's still people who think it's an elementary school. So, the signage looks nice. You walk, you see it. I I love all our new signage. Okay. The best one is the turf. I talk to people all the time that mention, "Wow, I didn't know your school did that." Like, they
007came for a game, whether that was a recreation kind of thing, younger kids, or it was high school, and they were so impressed at how nice it looks. That's $2 million well spent. It's was needed. We have a beautiful stadium, but changing the turf. Wow. And I also understand a lot of the kids feel much more proud about being there and seeing it and playing on it. So, and then this last one, you know, epoxy bathrooms, we all were like, epoxy to me is glue. We're going to glue people into the bathroom. But instead, you know, I I got to understand that that's how you make the floors not be sticky and nasty. And so, yeah, please do those things. That's important. So, you can see these projects we did so far. I think what's
008nice is they're all very visual and they help taxpayers feel like I paid I'm paying for some of this and they're seeing some right away because they're not going to see anything for a while now. So, the next thing we there's two schools that we're going to attack hard in the next year. And I know some people are concerned about the idea of why why don't you do one and finish it and then do the other one. But no, that's like economic. Uh-uh. That is not the way to do it. Prices will continue to rise. We can take the best advantage by buying some things now that will take a little time to get there, but we will have two very nice projects done in 27, I hope. Um, so the first one is over
009at Grand Oak School where we are turning it into a TK4 and the additional five classrooms, a new kitchen, and a new multi-purpose room. Plus making the office be in the front where I don't have to go through four gates to find it. Super important. I have to say that every time I go to get I remember the old version, the next version, the next version. I'm like looking really forward to this version. The budget is 20 million. We've encumbered like 1.2 as of now and that a lot of that remember is drawings and all the paperwork you have to get going. The timeline is August 27th. I'm looking forward to that timeline. Go to the next screen. This is kind of what the campus will look like when we get done. Um, number one,
010every parent will be thrilled to drive up to a place like that and be able to um Oh, and the whole idea of like movement because anybody goes to Grand I forgot, how am I going to get past all this? But I really like is we're taking advantage of that wonderful field we have up on the top and and that's where the playground is going to move up to. I was really excited when I saw that whole thing. I also really excited about the slide and I didn't want to be the first person to go down on it. >> Oh no. >> Like I think we should have a contest. >> We should have a contest. We had a contest to turn on the lights. >> All right. >> And my kids won >> and
011so you know I want to keep that tradition. But what's really cool in this and the best part is I'm trying to make sure I find it. H the TKK classrooms will be a whole new unit. And uh I love that idea because those kids really need places that are just really comfortable for them. The fencing, the playground right next to the classroom. That's going to be really special. And if you want to go the next one, we got some like renderings that I I love the fence line. Thank you. Um but it's I like that. And I like that rendering that we see there. And like I Yeah. And so that's taking a look from out where the kids would be looking back at the campus if I'm correct. I'm trying to remember. I
012went down. >> Then is there one walk? Yeah. So this is that idea of the playground being up back behind. So you can see like that little walkway that would take them up there. The shade structure. Um, and by the way, Kowanas is committed to coming back and painting the playgrounds like we have in the past. We're just going to wait till you finish the project. This is the new multi-purpose room. And again, please remember, we just they just put furniture in them. That furniture is too big for little kids. We know it'll look different, but you had to have something you can see. I like the soundboards on the top. I think that's a really nice feature. I hope it does look like that. Time to make it look like TK kids and third.
013So, I like all the looks and the office area. This is much more inviting office area than we have now. Okay. So, second project, take Shassa Lake Middle School. Remember, we're gonna just be five, six, seven, eight. Oldtime and gateway. It's how it should have stayed. Um, I'm a big K8 fan, so love to see this back. Budget 17 million. Um, we've spent to date just 124,000. I know that's like really low, but that's because we've been working on the the other one first. This will be starting to get more money put into it. Again, the same timeline. Notice August 2027. Um, yeah, we got a lot of work going on. I'm kind of excited about it and I'm not even like I want to volunteer to help be the teacher mover. Oh, you got
014to change your classroom. Oh, I love bulletin boards. Let me in. So, um this is the new look at the front. And and this isn't going to make sense to you see the other picture, but what you're seeing here is we're trying to consolidate in the entire um admin into that front. And it's not a portable. It looks tacky. I'm sorry. But next, what's really cool is the architect has blended this really well with the gym. And you know, you guys are one of the best junior high gyms that exists. Um, and just this idea of see how it looks. It it blends right with what's next to it. It's a two-story building. It will have a conference room. It'll have a few classes. I think it's four, right? >> Actually, eight. >> Is eight.
015>> And so it's across the back. I can never read the little tiny print. So, uh, but you can see this is the back side of it. So, the school, if you're on the school grounds, you're looking at it from this angle, the back side of it, you can see how nice it is. And the windows up above up above on that conference room look out so that you have a good view as an administrator, as a person on campus, you have a view, and that's important. I I like um I just love the look. I think it's going to be real appealing to parents driving up and let's face it, a big part of what we're trying to do is keep our parents here. Like we love you TK4 and now look this beautiful
016place 567 a get to go to and then look oh we have this great football field and athletic department and a school that has all these things going on with technical ed. The idea is to keep them here. So, um, and then there are some smaller pictures to give you a view from like up above what it would look like. Um, yeah, we're still going to have, you know, portable buildings and older buildings, but this front view has such an effect on parents. history. >> I mean, that should be from the viewpoint of someone who's been here a long time, my children here. Those things I see are the continued growth that I don't see. And uh and I want to say that to the public as often as I can. I'm always telling people,
017don't no, I know we're this can be rough here. Sorry teachers, admin, all of you. This is going to be a tough year moving people around, getting them used to being on campus, but a year from now, I think we're all going to feel lots different. >> Thank you for your participation. Thank you. >> Were we thinking about solar question? You know, every time you want to speak to that solar, I don't want to Hey, >> um we met with DSA today. We kind of did a pre-conference meeting on chass building and there's some it may be required, but we're not sure um our architects going to dig into it, but we're not sure where it's going to be on the building or if we're going to have to find a place for it somewhere.
018If it's not required, we don't want to go that route because for us, it's not cost effective to get it because of the rates we get after it. So, the roof looks like it' be perfect in the south, >> right? It's just messed in. I got aditted. That's beautiful. Let's see how it turns out. >> All right. First of all, employee associations Michelle. >> I have nothing to report but happy new year. >> We are there. >> We are Charlie. Congratulations. Thank you. All right. Uh Rob, >> good evening. As we're coming back, one of the things is our parent club and our parents been working so hard this year. We already had two great festivals and our winter festival we had fed over 230 people and they're going they're putting the effort back in
019to get a family dance on the 4th, the junior high dance on the 5th and our literacy festival, literacy night on February 12th. And I just really appreciate how much our parents are really stepping up and helping and making these events possible because it's with their help we're able to do all these things. So I'm excited to how many people show up in February. So we're trying to make the largest. >> So the dance on the fourth that's for the >> family dance so people bring their parents kids can bring their parents and last year was blast too. It's customary that the principal gets the party started by Dan first so get out there. >> Did you say there was one >> and then a junior high dance on the fifth and then the lit
020on the 12. So that's a lot they're taking on helping with trying to get it all into before softball, baseball, and all those seasons start. Once little league, >> it's hard to get families. We're trying to make a real big push. Alex, I know you're inviting me. >> Um, I wanted to share out uh the athletic director from Lassen um sent a beautiful uh text email to our athletic director and I want to read it because for someone to take their time after a game um to to say this about our team, I think it's important noteworthy. Sorry. I'm very impressed with the coach of your girls soccer team. It is clear that these girls are well coached. They play hard, run a solid defense, transition very quickly, and know how to move the ball.
021They um move the ball effectively on offense. They play a clean game, communicate well, and seem to be allin. I've been involved in girls soccer since 2009, and this is far and away the best girls soccer team I have ever seen out of CV. They play with fire, pride, and represent your school. Well, kudos to your girls and your coach. So that's about Katie Kaisen and I think that's nice because you don't often ha they don't have to do that like and when I see something extraordinary with you know a team I will email their staff and say you know this is what I saw and I really appreciate this. So I want to give a shout out to Katie Kaisen and the pros because they are doing a phenomenal job. They it was a
022tie but that's a big deal uh 22 against Lassen. So uh they've uh only lost to you prep so far I believe in Hu Rica but they have had a phenomenal season so far. the best I had since you moved on for sure. And lastly, we have C Vive next Friday with all the incoming eighth graders coming over um to check out the school and we have the curriculum fair the night before for parents for eighth grade parents and or parents. So, um come out and see that. It's just a walk around between 6:00 and 7 on Thursday. But the CI will be fun. Do a little mini rally for the eighth graders. Alex, how they like playing on the turf field versus the >> Oh, it's huge because now like and the biggest deal
023is why they're better is because they can practice longer to be honest because they can have the lights on and they're under the lights till when I sometimes do it in a block that second team is playing, you know, doing their practice the late practice. So they can shift with the boys and girls instead of just being all on the same field down at Margaret Wolf or on the back of the field which is you know lumpy and everything else. Um so now they can actually have quality do the spacing and it's huge and having home home team and field advantage. >> Yeah. our kids play soccer. >> I was at Mr. Heater and Robert never got to get in to the truck because one end of market field deep in water. I think they
024actually like to chase it in. Last year she would I think every four when they practices she'd take garbage bags out there for the parents because she knew they had to get in garbage bags before they'd get the car. So >> you probably played out there, didn't you? >> Yeah. Yeah. I didn't like soccer. I did one season. But um that was just my >> So I want to talk about the code giveaway that we have today. So, Subaru donated 140 coats to our school. Um, families were allowed to sign up and um it was all organized by Jessica Satderfield, our community connector. She did a great job, you know, organizing the kids. They came in. Um, I was helping uh the kids. We just take them one by one to pick out a jacket.
025So, there were a lot of jackets put out. I think we gave away about a 100 jackets today. So, for kids in need. So it's really great event. >> Would you like to course I imagine you've seen all >> um yeah our school is is definitely there's a buzz with the reconfiguration. a lot of uh always we're talking about it. People are there's a lot of excitement here. Um boys basketball is in full force. We have a tonight I'll be going back over there and then we have two home games in a row uh February 3rd.

So then Now that we've kind of gotten our design estimated cost of the project then they got back their contract construction. So it's initial contract. So this is question.

And I'm happy to share that night against Anderson. They looked almost like guard most of the night. The kids were rebounding well. I don't know what the final score was. >> which is Mark and I don't know what what your observations are you know what's out and the I guess one of the things I see is that uh they're young mentally I think those kids are young and uh if they learn themselves and in the next month or two, you know, I think they're only going to get much better. So, I was really I'm sure that I would be attending more of the time, too. So, with
036that, I do not think there's anything else. So, I will call
