I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it staunds, one nation, under GOD indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Please be seated. so cute. We're reminded that our vision is 100 percent proficiency. We will continue educating. Our theme this year is believe, empower achieve one broward. The board will review the items as advertised and presented by the superintendent. Our first item for discussion is bond oversight committee report fiscal year 25, quarter 3. I now turn it over to staff for brief presentation. thank you, MADAM Chair.
003I'll turn to staff for brief presentation. this is johnson, returning over to omar shim to introduce the chair of the oversight bond committee. good morning, MADAM Chair and board member and MR. Super. Omar shim, this committee meeting was for the reporting period ending in MARCH 31, that quarter. So you've had more updates on the smart program since then. But the chair is here to go over the meeting in some recommendations and discussions from the meeting. And his name is steve hillbergh, thank you very much. Speaker: good morning, so some of the points that we had and we wanted to present to you. As the school board completes another assessment, this should take special care to take needs and allow time to review the plan. It's kind of employ lessons learned from the last continue assessment.
004We heard that it was rushed and it's not complete and you know, there is a people point to it as a source of some of the issues. so going forward as this new condition assessment is developed, please, please, take extra care to try to avoid the issues that have come up in the past. Second, we keep hearing about delays due to the fire systems and delays to fire inspect oring adding items in the scope at the last minute or near final completion. We are concerned that that is a policy or procedure that needs to be changed and one of the recommendations that keeps coming up is that, when inspect ors are in a crunch and they have to inspect too many of the buildings in the school district is to reach out and from other
005area of municipalities. We discussed how fire inspectors are certified by the state and county so there can be overlap. Is there a question? Or do you want to wait until the end? Okay. So, the next one is we're pleased to see the revision in the change order policy 8,000 and added efficiency and improved speed and getting these items approved. The committee is to happy to contribute to push this policy through and this change does appear to have a an impact on the smart program and on the school board as future products. And also the bond oversight committee this is number 4 is glad, I would say that relieved that the smart bonds have been spent and from now on, it's capital bonds. We're glad to see that occur. number 5, commends, to bring local business
006into the smart program. They also keep funds in local economy and these are over 550 million dollars they come back into the broward county. The training offered by the edc is very popular for suppliers s and cocoractors and we've heard that attendanceat e standingng room session is standing room session only as these firms go on and continue to grow and succeed with the basis of the foundation help or given by this training. Six, next to last. Committee is happy to see that the construction is now completed. We heard the, the issues with that, with the lunch room, personally I thought this is not going to end well, nobody is going to be happy at the end but apparently it's done, it's fun issued and everybody seems to be satisfied. One of our board memebers or
007committee members went and saw the lunch room and they appear to be happy and satisfied with it. That's just amazing that the program was able to resolve such a contentious issue and resolve it well so kudos to that. Last, unfortunately the completion rate of projects remains too slow. One issue is addition of scope near the end of the projects. Bond oversight committee needs bert policies or recommends better policies. And one suggestion that keeps coming up is to have the plan reviewers go to the site early in the construction process so they can see what the real construction looks like and because there is a difficult having to do it myself, there is a difficult in looking at the drawings and then having to convert that into reality of the construction sites which MAY or MAY
008not match the drawings. MAY or MAY not match the drawings. To get the viewers out would be a very good thing for them to learn, what to look for in their inspections and in their plan reviews. That concludes my presentation, is there any question? first, we go to public comment and we have two people signed up for public comment. The first one is DR. Nathalie lynch-walsh. Speaker: DR. Nathalie lynch-walsh, plantation florida duelly elected chair, sorry not chair corresponding secretary. So before I go through the six items, I wanted to write everything to the b O.C.'s a mention this is a committee that was suppose to oversee the scope of the bond and there were buildings we just mentioned stranhan that were slated for reroofing but what was left out was walkways and we had conversation
009buzz the walkway adjacent to what is called main street adjacent to building 4 and why they were not being reroofed as part of the bond. And we were told that they're part of the roof, not part of the roof. Once again it never occurs to me that the proof is to obvious to find out the question, you just go to the inventory report and lo and behold, there they are. And the thing to find out, I'll be chatting out the office, if it was included in the pact it's in the fish, didn't always make it into the deficiency districting why people go back to the board to say we need to fund this? Or did somebody say, there are too many running. However, that's a problem because of last year still, from what we were
010told from a parent, main street was leaking. So we'll get to the bottom of that. Number 1, all well and good to have a facility assessment but one of the thing that the district got for not having and removed board tried to fix almost on their way out was having a long-range facility master plan. There was a stirring committee, your superintendent, abolished the stirring committee and we keep on hearing that there is going to be a new and improved stirring committee but we have yet to have that. And I'm going to have a word to ponder, intercoms. Change orders, they have never been sky high in terms of percentages. Bond funds versus capitals, there is not suppose to be any bonds initially. I'm not happy about the cafeteria. And how many kids are using the
011cafeteria? And of course everything is taking longer because a mess at the beginning guarantees a mess at the end. Speaker: thank you, next speaker, felicia. Speaker: good morning, MADAM Chair and DR. Hepburn and board memebers. Felicia, coconut creek, thank you for the opportunity to talk about the quarterly report for the period ending in MARCH, as a community member and advocate for educational equity and fiscal responsibility, I first want to acknowledge the responsibility made. The completion of all technology and delivery of music, arts and athletic equipment across our school reflects a commitment to students experience campus security. On page, where the summary table reflects classification. This delay not only jeopardize the completion of capital plan but MAY impact classroom functionality and public trust. Additionally while the report confirms that dollars are not being used for operational
012expenses or salaries is imperative with stakeholders and financial reports remain transparent and accessibility especially as we reach as we approach the final stretch of this 800 million program. I recommend that the board request an updated risk mitigation plan for renovation projects and the boc, provide progress, benchmark, and also vital to increase public engagement and post timely updates on school specific outcomes. We owe it to our taxpayers and our educators and our importantly our students to close out the program with efficiency transparent and integrity. Thank you for your time and continued leadership. thank you so much. Board discussion. MS. Leonardi. thank you, I wanted to thank for the comment. And something I want today flag and something that I've been speak to go the superintendent for sometime now. With fire inspection in case of inspect or
013shortage. Something I routinely hear that the process is barrier and obstacle to completing the project and a lost those issues can be resolved early on. So I would like to know staff's plan for trying to alleviate those delays? DR. Hepburn. yes, I'll turn it over to MS. Paul but I did have a conversation with the one of the fire chiefs specifically for for t. Lauderdale chief and continuing fire inspection, so on smgz that they don't have to do anymore, and concentrating on construction instead of items that free up our fire inspector's time. I'll turn it over to MS. Paul if she wants to add anything. good morning, chair, board memebers, superintendent hepburn. The reality of inspections and I'm going to speak real, when you take 11 years to complete a program and you carve out,
014fire devices during the course of that, then that is a recipe for delay. And as many of those folks know, that the fca is a start of it, the long-range planning part is essential part of it. But the reality is, as we're closing a this program, and trying to navigate the fire alarms, and device that's are required to be in the building now, as you know, of course you're going to have a additional ones that you have to, that you have to address and the other reality is that we're not going to put a kid in an unsafe building so we're going to take the time to make sure that we have the appropriate devices where they have to be. And in some areas some additional devices are required. That's where we're at now. We're
015working diligently. We have to close out the project, we have a vendor that supplements our team as I briefed previously. And so we have cut down the time actually on, closing out on some of these things dealing with fire devices. Everybody is sitting at the table once a week as we navigate this so from the start, when I got here to where we are right now, we're doing a lot better. The reality is that a lot of fire devices were cashed carved out at the end of the process. Again, we have learned a lot. We're moving forward and making sure that we don't have this situation going into the future. okay, thank you. So I, I hear you that you know, when the program is taking so long and there is going to be changes,
016and these fire devices were carved out at the end. so I guess I'm wondering if you can articulate what we have put in place right now in the process? To prevent these carve outs from creating a longer delay? Since we know this is the problem, what are we doing? Or can we do to alleviate those delays? well that is a very good question and I totally appreciate it. Part of the process when I got here was that, the fire official sat in a different division. Part of the issue we have was just having communication affective communications. So as you know, the board approves the fire official to come under the division of operations which he was already working with us over the last year I've been here. So having him sit at the table going
017line by line over every school, literally almost every device resolving the issues at the table, coming to solutions to it and I'm saying solutions not shortcuts. So, that has helped tremendously. And then, just you know, some of that past history between the different or the level of discourse and dysfunction, having every one sit at the table weekly to discuss real issues and closing out these things has been very affective. So part of what I saw coming in, is it was a point and game, he did this or she didn't do tha. As necessary get his perspective. So I have numerous examples where things passed for weeks because somebody was this is my opinion and this is how it's going to be. But when you bring people to the table, you have that conversation about okay,
018how can we solve this. It changes the culture of the department. So to me, that has been probably the most significant change that I've seen where we can take a school and bring it, you know, take the school and put the plans up in the room and talk about specific devices and so forth and work it out and that was not the case before. It was a paper work trail. So I want to commend our fire official and our building official and my team for keeping that collaboration going. okay, thank you. Do other school districts operate in the same where they have their own chief fire official? yes, so the organization that we have here or the way we're organized here was the exact same way that we were organized in palm beach. The difference
019and I've said it before, is just the length and time it took to get through this bond program. And the lack of sufficient fca going in. And many things of the bond oversight pointed out today in terms of walking the sites and those kinds of sites. So we have incorporated that, mentality it should have been here already but that's the past is the past. Going forward, if we have a question about something, we have boots on the ground making sure that we address it. the question I had have asked, do they use fire official in lieu of having their own fire official. I guess it depends on the size of the district. Again, my lived experience is with palm beach, we had our own building official and our own fire official. And having a agent
020outside of the county, they have their own things that they're inspecting so we would not be at the top of the list. That's why we chose to supplement our staff with an outside vend tore help us move these projects forward. okay. I guess, the reason I ask it does not seem that what we have in place right now is working efficiently. I suppose that's a conversation for another day. I would like follow-up on, if there are other school districts in florida, that use, the county or municipal fire officials. But my last question per this recommendation, are we, are we currently getting assistance from area municipalities from fire inspection or what is the plan to do so? the thing is no, we're our own entity and we do our own fire inspections with outside assistance of
021from our vendors. so you reject the second recommendation? Of getting assistance from area municipalities? I would have to look at the history with that relationship, i don't know as it stands right now. okay. I would say in my five years, this is been a continual problem so I would urge us to get assistance from area municipalities or from the county. I don't know if my colleagues agree or not, thank you. okay, thank you. Anybody else have any comment? MS. Bulman. thank you. MR. Hillbehr for the presentation. Just to the point in number 7, is this something in terms of having plan reviewer going to the sites early so we're not at the 11th hour so we're suggesting? yes. And I believe MS. Paula dressed it to at least my satisfaction. so this is happening on
022a regular basis now? yes, we do have people on the ground to go and look at projects. We have a number of projects in the pipeline where our team has been out there on the ground, a-come which is our program management firm. But, the, the another part of this that I think we're missing is that, many of the projects started out one way and then other decisions were not made in a timely manner or scoped changed over the years. And that definitely contributes to the inability to close amount and close out projects in a reasonable amount of time. So, the idea that the fire alarm or fire devices are the problem or the root cause of the delay is not, accurate to the clear. because the code changes? ye, the code changes and again, scope
023changes have contributed a lot. So when you look at the change orders and you read in the change order that is for a fire devices, definitely something changes on the project or was missed in the initial planning of the project and so, basically what we're doing now is just clean up and you know, we cannot occupy the building. That's our change right now and it starts at the beginning. I think this is a good suggestion. Every one is on the same page and as long as we're doing things in a a mely mamaer, we can cut a lot of thohose proems t. But t alsosoveve the reewew onsite and understandinwhwhat is going on and seeing any potential issues. That is normally the protocol. thank you, MS. Rupert. thank you, chair. I wholeheartedly agree with the
024train of thought with MS. Leonardi. I think we should take advantage of our chief fire officials in the county, anyway that we can solidify a relationship where we're cooperatively working together is important. And I looked through any emails to see if my questions were answered and I sent it in time. And I didn't find it, so I'm going to quickly ask them one at a time, and it should not take more than five minutes. First question, schools, sound and lighting completed were all schools needing these items afforded one? DR. Hepburn? MS. Paul? more than likely no. can you explain further. so the mart program was a snap shot in time. So, and the defp supplements that. But as I said before, once step comes out we'll have an item of what our true needs are.
025So I would not be comfortable saying that that bucket of money took care of all the needs for this different for stage curtains. okay, I would like a follow-up, DR. Hepburn, and to see that number and to make sure just for priority reasons that all schools were, were definitely looked at. That's enough on that. Schools and close out, drew close out by MARCH 2026, is that still on schedule? DR. Hepburn. so again, I don't have that with me, we will definitely provide the foum, I thought we had done that but I'll check on it. well thank you, actually, if somebody can send me that, I MAY not have to ask the rest of any questions. Staff should know my questions were sent in on time and were very simple so I don't know how you
026want to proceed, MADAM Chair. But I don't really think it's fair that my questions don't get answers. DR. Help burp. thank you for the questions MS. Rupert. probably in queue and getting to me for signature right now, so we'll follow-up and check on those questions right now. okay. The other one is deer field middle school, the roofing was to be done by 7-15-25 is that completed yet? DR. Hepburn? MS. Paul? once again, we'll provide the follow-up. I'll have mia sister ans look for the questions and see where they are in the queue and we'll have it to you before the end of the meeting. ?Fm okay, thank you. Palm view, roof carve out complete by JULY 15, 2025. Is that completed yet? DR. Hepburn. MS. Paul. I know what she is going to say. Give
027us an opportunity to to get those questions. So we can submit by the end of the meeting. okay I've got three more. Atlantic, roof was done JUNE 17, 2025. Is that completed yet? DR. Hepburn? MS. Paul. same response. what are the last two, MS. Rupert. lions creek was due MAY 20th, 2025. Is that complete? and then what's the last one? my last one is MR. Shroder, off him, margaret elementary renovations were due did I JUNE 17, 2025. Are they finished. we'll have the answers before the end of the meeting. I appreciate that. madam chair. thank you, anybody else. Thank you again so much for coming and summarizing that very long report, very sue sunk issues that we can address successful. And I agree with MS. Leonardi if we can include our municipal fire inspect or.
028Thank you so much and thank you for coming today. Have a great day. The next is committee reports. If the committee reports, can come to the table. We'll take two minutes to get resituated and we'll move on. thank you, and welcome back to our school board workshop. As you mentioned, we will now hear reports from the committees. And the first committee up is ese council. Speaker: thank you, I've got a diabetic waiting for his insulin, thank you for passing policy 4900. I just wanted to emphasize again how important our policy is, leading your way in florida. Getting every word right should be important. I want today emphasize that we're not here an an advisory to be argue or to be negative, we're here to mart necessarier and you all would know if you look at
029your in box. And the emails I have sebt you op this alone, I have begged and begged and begged and for there to be a pathway where we can get a piece off of paper and into your heads and discuss at a board meeting or at least respond if it's a point that we thought were not valid. It's not an I told you so, it's me begging give us the time of day. Make us feel like we didn't just write a 200-word essay that you and wrote it and appreciated and respected it. We're now left with a policy that has holes in. And I appreciate MADAM Chair for driving it forward. Thank you, it's going to be point but we could have gotten across the finish line together without the holes in. And I want
030to give a example of what si hole is, MAY include up to 30 minutes, I want to point out that you folks point out that it should say must, must be permitted to include up to 30 minutes before and after the incident, that means if the parent does not have to watch the 30 minutes, they don't have to but we're going to find schools playing that part of the policy when it comes to push and shove and we didn't want a policy that had holes. And but thank you very much and you MADAM Chair for driving it. Something else that we will be bringing up at ese advisory in the new year is contract schools and how your policies do or don't apply to students. You have a number of pre-k students such as boedwin
031and where the policy does or does not apply to the policy places. Those are still your students, they're not charter school students or private school stud tents, or some other category, they're B.C. Ps students and if we're going to pick and choose which policies do and don't, we're going to get into a bit of a dicey area. That will be an issue I'll be bringing up in our new year. I'm going to go back to bus attendance, we were told there was a curriculum for training bus attendance in the school buses for their interactions and support and care for students can disabilities. I've asked for that curriculum, it still has not been produced, so I don't think it exist. So have a conversation where we asked about this my issue is really where the bus
032transportation department is not responding to the months of asking for clarity as to what is the train thating is given, there is meant to be 8 hours of training particularly in ese so bus attendance are having appropriate interactions and know how to deescalate behavior. On customer service, we're going to be an issue that we're going to need more dialogue on. We need to, I feel personally and genuinely, customer of care and picking up the pieces when folks can't get help at bcps level. There is no pathway for resolving and trying goat things resolve, that's not our job and it's incrediblely heavy part of the job. And finally, I can't remember what finally was, I hope everybody has a great year. thank you, anybody want to add anything or have a discussion with MS. Lucekum? I
033did get a response about the manual for training for bus attendants. I'll read it, bus attendant right side responsible for ensuring the well being of students during transport. They include assisting with the security of students and foster a safe and orderly environment on the bus. Under the ese which is a core focus of their training. While the complete services does not provide a stand alone manual specifically for bus attendance, all personnel are required to complete an initial comprehensive program consisting of 40 to 50 hours. This includes legal and safety related construction in addition to all mandated staff. More over, bus attendants are required to participate in any job training federations throughout the year and curriculum includes but not limited to, passenger management, first-aid and cpr, transportation procedures for exceptional students, legal responsibilities overview of the
034student exceptionalities. Speaker: MAY I respond. Those are job description, it actually states 40 hours in the yob scirntion 40 hours of preservice training consist ago of at least 20 hours of classroom construction and 8 hours of hands-on training based on bcps equivalent training as determined bit responsible or designee. And I've been asking since APRIL. Can we see the curriculum please? Also is there data we can show and how many have done equivalent training instead? So we don't seem to have either ca rick limb -- curriculum. This is now, I think before APRIL, when I first started asking for this. We don't clearly curriculum for bus attendees. And if we can work together on one, that would be awesome. can you remind me what policy number you were reading? Speaker: no that was from the job
035description, that's where I corrected myself. thank you. Next we have parent community involvement -- sorry MR. Cervera? thank you, MADAM Chair. I do want to acknowledge the work that you put into the cameras, the program. I'm a huge advocate for that, I've always been. And if I MAY respond about the comment with the emails and this would go to you and all of my other volunteers and everybody who serves on these task force on these committees. Just because you don't get an insfant response, does mean that we're not reading them. For some of us, this is not a full-time gig for tuesday, I do spend time looking at them. I MAY not reply, don't feel discouraged if you get an instant response. I recognize the value you bring to this, especially with this camera issue,
036when we get to the finish line, it will be right. But you're appreciated with the time and efforts that you put in and I also earned that you're a professional author, that journalist, okay, I apologize. But nonetheless, your word smithing is on point with a lot of changes. It's appreciated and I uld encourage e yoyonot only but l l the otother mmunity mbmbs nonot to get discouraged just because we don't answer every email. I can't speak to my colleagues, but I do respond from time to time. So thank you for that. Speaker: thank you, and it was not instant response it was response at all. And just to speak for your constituents as well. A lot of folks, and thank you for the appreciate komentz, I appreciate t.I love the folks that come to us
037at advisories, parents, parents who will say, I emailed the board and they don't care. It kinds of gives, whatever the intention, if you're in your screen reading every word that everybody sends you, that's awesome but they don't know that. And others reply religiously but others I don't hear from all year. It does leave a gaping whole, as general counsel made, my points would have made policy stronger which could have been changes today. Had anybody listened when I was making those we would not had got the situation today. But thank you for your comment and thank you for your supporting. thank you. Parent community involvement task force? Speaker: good morning. Erin and I are doing a team approach here both reporting out. And I know I'm going to start by saying, I know this MAY seem
038like a conversation for the end of the day since it's your last workshop item, but you've done a wonderful survey on why parents select charter schools. And I want to refer to you, page 18 and I'm going to read it to you. School environment cultural factors what are the primary school environment or school culture factor that you choose? And the number one answer on that is positive school community and parent involvement. So, when we were looking at these, these survey to see prepare for this afternoon, we're just how long, this reemphasizing how important this vision is how to make sure that we're fulfilling it. We have several things that we will be doing this fall and our goal is always to make sure development accessible and meaningful and to bring as many people to broward
039schools. We're going to have several universities, I think I mentioned one last time, we're planning one with our advisors over here, but we've had several people reach out about other opportunities. The nonprofit forum was requestioneded to the from the 6th to 27th of AUGUST and we hope that DR. Hepburn or MS. Hixon will be there. But if anybody wants to participate beinger we will certainly welcome you. Our first meet ising monday, it's virtual. We will be discussing different topics. We're going to be talking about all the different ways that we can communicate. We feel podcast to make it more successful and also looking at audio programming. and at the suggestion of our students we're going to be looking alt how youtube can be used for more messaging. All of this is to increase parent involvement.
040Our parent power conference, a conference is four languages is tentatively planned for SEPTEMBER. And I'm going to at this time, switch over to erin. thanks mary. I don't have that much to add. I do want to commend and just celebrate the fact that through the summer, the committees have not been meeting. Mary and I have had out reach from different staff members who are planning for the next school year and really see the value to expand out reach or opportunities for parents to participate. And it's really excite to go kind of see that partnership becoming embedded and just how the district is operating. So I'm grateful to staff who are not in the room. Sometimes we identify the item and present to staff and they fight to find a solution. I would also underscore mary
041score about the surveys because it really does validate what we see and practice what we hear at our task force meetings. When parents feel like they're meaningful they're more likely to choose this school and stay at the school and their kids are likely to do better and communities thrive. As we're embarking on this next phase. Talk about how did other communities reflect that. Thank you all. thank you so much and the audit committee. Speaker: you saved the best for last, huh? Well we have not met since the last time I was here. About I want to update the board that the audit committee was meeting on the 7th, the same day that we have nominating committee and regular committee. The other thing that I had just scuds with MR. Rodes which he's agreable too and
042this MAY be part period of time evaluation that you have with the chief auditor is to have a quarterly progress report on the audit plant. This case it provides you update of where we're going and how we're maintaining the standards of expectation, if you notice something MAY be a tieer risk. So that's my report. Any questions? any of my colleagues have questions or comments? Thank you for coming in the middle of the summer. I do. okay, MS. Rupert. thank you. I just want had a general question. For advisory chairs, do we have are they accessible by email, teams train anding functional web pages. I know that's something that I wanted to see where we are in the process? DR. Hepburn. I know we just transitioned into -- MR. Hill is working some of the needs
043and wants. To make sure that they understand the roles have greatr exposure to the community as far as website page. So a lot of that is a work in progress that we can hopefully can complete in the next few weeks since we embarked on it in the middle of summer. and just to add the superintendent, AUGUST 12th, asked ford board discussion in the AUGUST shaoef. thank you for chairing that. I appreciate it and we're making progress and I a plowed that and looking forward to when they get access to email team building. and I apologize I overlooked the student advisors. So landyin? just the comment for saving the best for last. that's I didn't said it. thank you. So good morning, everybody. Lots for just jasir and I to update you. It's been a very
044busy summer. I want to start by thanking you all for take the time to meet with us individually and talk about your goals and talk about how we can support you. We have some follow-up actions that were asked and we'll be getting those by the end of the week. For our committees, we have confirmed student a technology and wellness so the notification to staff facilitating will take place by the end of the. I want to share a great update and much much appreciation to DR. Hepburn for his support of the superintendent's student engagement prior -- priority as well as DR. Wanza and fulton. we've got some great things going out for our high school students start thising year and also our school parent. We're which is a great guide to implement initiative. So we'll be
