001Please join me in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. All those in favor >> uh next we have a choir performance this evening. >> So we want to recognize that March is music in our schools month a time where we can recognize the important role that music education plays in the lives of our students here at 1032. We are very grateful for the dedication and passion of our choir students and also our music teachers. We inspire uh you inspire creativity and confidence in our students every single day and their work um all that work that you all put in together. You find their voice and you make amazing connections that we know

002will last for them a lifetime. So without further ado, we look forward to this every single year. Thank you. Before they go, I just want to kind of give you guys an idea. So, every every March, we have contests. This year, it actually fell on February 28th, which was a Miss Davis freakout because that's very early in the year. Um, but these kids start picking out their music for contests in October. And then, um, I start making recordings and copies and then we start doing after school rehearsals starting in January. So, what you're seeing is a finished product, but there's a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and growth that goes into what you get at the end. Um, this year at contest, and this is always a chance, they were tough judges in the vocal

003department. Some parents out there are shaking their heads. They were tough. And it wasn't just on Pville. It was on everybody. There were Jackson kids, Advance kids, everybody's kids out in the hallway crying, freaking out because the judges were tough. Okay. And um the thing that I took from that, we got some gold medals. I'm very proud of that, okay? Don't please don't misunderstand me. But a judge said to me, you know, your school is special because they're all here supporting one another. And that was the biggest award I took. Um because that speaks to what we are, who we are, and what I try to make in choir every day. So you're going to hear our our first group here. They're going to announce themselves, which they have to do at contest as well.

004Um, and I wanted to give you an idea of, you know, just different types of songs. These these groups picked their own songs, these two specifically. So, they really had ownership of what they were doing from the beginning to the end. So, without further ado, here you go. Hello, we are the Jabar Mermaids from Pville High School and today we will be singing The Mermaid Laments by Martin Fulfill my heart lies beneath the mer se for the refuge. My desperate cry. My spirit deeply. Once we see their wings, but now our love has come down. My joy no longer sings. My joy all you sears to my love. Let the morning let the cry out. Let the shout love return to me. Come back to me. My heart my sorrows and I shall for shallow

005again. While we change that, the next group needs to be exactly where they were coming up. While we change, would you give our pianist Miss Janet Cyel a huge round of applause? You ready to go? >> Nope. Okay. >> I didn't either. >> Sticky. >> It's okay. The purse will do. Perfect. Can you see through the >> Okay. Can you see us? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> We are the parable pilots and we will be singing flight by Lina. Let me run through a field in the night. Let me soul. Let me shade of a tree. Let me swirl in a storm on the sea. Push me on my way through the dawning day. I want to rise to grow in a side of a hill. If the checks don't clear, if the house slows

006down, I'll be off the mir and I'll start to watch me rain till I catch a ship that'll sail me a caught in the wind. I'll just fly away. Oh, let me leave behold the clouds. When I die, one awake without finding myself in a boost for the sky. Let me lose all control. Free as the sound of a sea in a sher. But I can't like that. All I know is somewhere is a flickering of sunlight or river long and wide. And I have such a river inside. Let me run through a field in the night. Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight. Let me sway like the shade of a tree. Let me swirl in a storm on the sea. Wish me the day. I want to flow

007on the side of a hill like a wave. on the path I've been traveling upon. I am Thank you. That was very good. All right, one more round of applause for the Jabbering Mermaids and the Fairy Pilots. I always start out with about the same phrase at these meetings. is a great way to start our meeting with uh some student recognitions and also some staff recognitions tonight. And Mr. Drier's voice has graciously agreed to assist us this evening. So, we're going to be recognizing uh quite a few people. Uh next time we'll make sure we have a few more chairs. Sorry about that. So, Mr. Der, thank you, sir. >> So, as you can tell, we've got a lot of talented musicians um in in our school, both band and choir. Um, and the following

008students that we're going to recognize, they competed at the Jackson Music Festival two weekends ago. And these students earned exemplary, which means they are going to compete at state, which is May 1st and 2nd in Columbia, Missouri. All right. So, we're going to call these students up and and we'll say um what you are going to state for and then if you could get your certificate and go stand over there, then we'll take one big picture with all of our music students. Uh first, we have Mr. Wesley Fa. Wesley earned exemplary in uh both in two different things. um keyboard mallet solo and also multiple percussion solo. And he's actually got a third uh one. He's he's part of a u a group here that we'll discuss here in a little bit. Our next is

The the next group of students that we would like to recognize tonight are members of our student council and some of our special education students uh for becoming a special Olympics unified champion school. I'm going to tell you all what that means. Uh so this award is for our uh student council being designated as a special Olympics unified champion school. Periable High School has officially earned the the designation this designation. This reflects the work Perryville High School has been doing to build a culture of inclusion through Special Olympics, unified sports and leadership. This recognition is awarded to schools that intentionally bring students with and without intellectual disabilities together to compete, lead, and be

012with one another on and off the court. And so far this year, we have had uni a unified bowling uh game and a unified basketball game. So, um some members here with us this evening for some of our special education students, Mr. Dalton Lman, Elizabeth Dowy, Clay Reed, Steve Reed, and Abby A Mer. and some of our members from student council um that have have worked with them and and really made this happen. Mr. Wayan Hoover, Miss Reese Burley, Miss Abigail Hoff, and Mr. Mason Seabol and Braden Amber. We've also got one of our uh student council um sponsors here, Mr. Brit Broking. We just want to say thank you to to everybody for making this happen. It's it's been awesome watching. So, um if any parents want to come up and get a picture,

013you're more than willing. You got Let's give them one more round of applause. >> Thank you. >> All right. Our last recognition tonight is Miss Abigail Amber. Um so we are recognizing Abby tonight because she joined the 1,000 point club this year for the Lady Pirate basketball program this year. Um, Abby is only one of 13 Lady Pirate basketball players to reach this milestone of in the history of the program. Abby, the good thing about Abby is she's just a junior. Um, and will look to break the all-time leading scorer in Lady Pirate basketball program history next year as a senior. If she does that, she will break the record next year. She will replace her mother who's sitting right here who is the current leading scorer. Um holds a designation of all-time leading scorer

014in the Lady Pirate basketball record book with a total of 1633 points. Um Abby is currently sitting in fourth place overall um after her junior year all time with 1,328 points which puts her only 305 points behind her mom for all time leading score. So if we can give Abigail a round Those are some tough facts to follow. The next thing we have um would be though we want to recognize our school board because it is uh school board recognition month. So, in honor of that, uh, we want to acknowledge our board members because you all play such an important role in our community by providing leadership, setting direction, and making decisions that support the success of our students, our staff, and our schools. Serving on a school board requires a significant commitment of time,

015especially during our recovery, thoughtful consideration of very complex issues, and a dedication to doing what is best for the district and our community. We are grateful for the leadership and service of our board members and what you have provided to Perry County District 32. This year, we have two board members who are completing their terms of service. We would like to take a moment to recognize their contributions and thank them for what they have done for our district. First, we would like to recognize Mr. Jamie Robinson for his 10 years of dedicated service to the Perry County District 32 Board of Education. Jamie began in 2016 and his time on the board during the most unprecedented period of challenges for schools nationwide did not go unnoticed. During his tenure, he has been a part of

016many important moments in the life of our school, including a period of progress and growth that brought the construction of two beautiful new school buildings and significant renovations across our whole campus. Through each step, he generously gave his time, his thoughtful consideration, and served our school. Schoolboard service is not always easy. It requires dedication, very long hours, and the willingness to make very difficult decisions for what is good for the school. We are grateful for your commitment, Jamie, your leadership, and your 10 years of service to the students, the staff, and the families of Perry County District 32. We would also like to recognize Mr. Glendon Sappler for your service to the Perry County District 32 Board of Education. During your three-year term, you have brought thoughtful questions and a genuine interest to understand the

017work of our district. Your willingness to ask questions and engage in discussions helped encourage thoughtful conversations that have been very important part of good governance. Those moments challenged us to reflect, think carefully about our decisions, and to continue striving to do what is best for our kids. We thank you, Mr. Satler for the time that you gave in service of the district and for your contribution during your term on the Perry County School Board. And Mr. Hayden has something for the rest of the board members. Thank you for your service. >> We have no patron comments tonight. So we will move on to the consent agenda. consent. >> Second. All those in favor? Opposed? Consent agenda passes. New business. Schedule a roll call vote to schedule a close session to discuss student and personnel matters

018as permitted by revised Missouri statute 610.21 sections 3613 and 14. That's conclusion of open session. >> Second. Kevin, >> hi >> Glendon. >> Hi, >> Terry. >> Hi, >> Jamie. >> Hi, >> Dominic. >> Hi. >> Next up is a calendar amendment. >> We discovered that we needed to make an amendment to the previously adopted school calendar for the next school year, 2627. Uh the Missouri rule was created to help preserve late summer tourism across the state, which prevents school districts from starting school before um 14 days prior to Labor Day. That fell this year on August 24th as the earliest start date for school. Hasn't affected our calendar for years, but the way the calendar fell this year, that will be the first day that we legally can attend school. So we are requesting

019approval of an amended agenda for next school year. >> I ask you start >> uh typically 19 20 21 22 in that range just a few days but the weekend fell in there and so it pushed it to a much later week than what we're used to. A little bit of um background information. this this just the way the year yearly calendar set up, the schools were given an opportunity to request a waiver to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Um because most districts like us uh will have a very lopsided semester to semester school year. So our semester in the spring is going to be very uh shortened compared to the next semester. But we not a single school in Missouri were granted a waiver. So, we waited to see if we could

020get that. We did not. And so, now the committee reconvened, made the adjustment to the calendar, and this would be the one that we asked that you approve. >> So, does that move the end of school date back any? >> We ended up moving it one day forward uh in a shuffle and actually that that worked out better for the high school for final exams so they could split those up into those two and a half days. So, the last day of school is on >> the 26th of May. >> We've got enough hours and everyone's still there. >> Yes. >> Make a motion to bring this Well, what is the date? Correct. From >> I have back up the 21st to the 24th. >> What's Wednesday? the 19th. >> That was on the first

021day. >> So, we're missing Wednesday, Thursdays. All of us or Thursday, Friday, >> Thursday, Friday, >> three days. >> The imbalance happens with all of the Thanksgiving breaks and the Christmas breaks and all of that as well. There's a lot. Overlook the people having the crowd sat on the Make motion to approve the 2627 amended account. >> Second all those in favor calendar approved. Next we're to the construction manager at risk proposals. We have uh two linked documents here that I can put up. The first one, the interview scores between the two companies. and you want to go in staff design. So again, thanks for allowing me to come to your board meeting. Glad to be here to help assist you with going through these questions. So what you're seeing up on the screen there

022now, um, okay, that's the per per firm. Okay. So, as you all know, we went through uh interviews with two firms. So, Robinson Construction as well as the Brock Miller construction for the CM process. So, uh those were held last week and we had those interviews. There were scorecards that were provided to the reviewers and I was actually looking at this combined one. I think is that the next one that we have up on the list potentially or >> that's what and just kind of screw >> I just can't get it to >> Okay, there you go. >> Super tiny if I go. >> So, if you if we look at the which one is at the top there that Robinson construction okay so if you go on route construction uh you'll see that there

023was kind of cues from the actual RFQ or RFP document that both of the firms had in advance of their interview. uh the items listed down the left side or those elements that was in that document that we had asked that that they at least touch on those at a minimum. They could touch on anything they really wanted to or talk about anything they wanted to, but these are going to be the top of mind kind of items. So, so those are the items and then off to the right hand side you'll see what the actual the a rank is of the scoring. So for the this for example the very top one it's talking about team roles and capacity there were various reviewers you'll see those across the top that that is not shown

024there but the average if you go across that top line there for team roles and capacity you take all those various scores the average was a rank of 4.5. Okay and that is out of the scale of five on that particular one. So there's 27 points total granted for that and that's how you get to the average and you just go down each of those various grading criteria for that interview and you can see those values there. So the average ranking 4.5 couple 4.17s and on down that row you would go uh and then also on the far far right of that you'll see the total number of of points. So in Robinson's case, they had total 261 points ends up being about 4.35 average. Um the 43.5 at the very bottom is just a

025total of those. And if you divide that by 10, you get to the 4.35. So So that's for Robinson. So keep that in mind what those values are. Then at the bottom of that chart, you'll see the same comparison for Brock Miller Construction. So again, if we go across that top team roll of capacity, you'll see that average ranking there, 3.83 for that particular item. You go down the list, you can see all the various rankings again for each of those 10 items. Their combined average is a 4.45. Uh they have a total of 267 points and versus a 44.5 on the total. So when you just compare those two numbers, you got 4.35 for Robinson, you got 4.45 for proper construction. So, so the higher the number they get more points basically by the

026scoring criteria that will use to get to that. And the other piece that we'd asked for them to submit, which they did, they turned those in at the time of their interview, uh, was their proposals. Those proposal documents, they submitted those in hard copy, which I believe you probably got those the last step after the interview, and then digital copies as well. Dr. has all of those additional copies as well. But what we asked for in the proposal request is are a few items. So first off is a CM fee and you can see at the top of this chart in the blue area we have Robin Robinson Construction and then at the section at the bottom highlighted with the green color that's craft construction. So just starting from left to right we'll walk through

027that. So, one of the others that we need to know and you'll need to know if it's going to be in a contract with whichever firm you pick is what their CM fee is. And that's based on a value, an estimated value that we put into the document of $52 million for construction. So, it's a percentage base. So, it really that's what you're looking for. It really doesn't matter whether it's 52 million, 50 million, 48 million, or 45 million. It's the percentage that matters. So that fee will be for Robinson's case it's 3.9% 3.90% proper provided CMP of 350%. So it will give us a percentage of the financial fee. Uh then the second line item is pre-construction services and we ask for that is a lump sum fee. Uh that's all the assistance that

028the construction management team will be providing before we get a project off for bid. So they're working alongside with our myself and the SAP design team and all of our consultants and you as the owners. So it's that three ladies. It's the three of three entities working on this through this early design phase and the construction manager is at the table providing those services. They're providing insights on constructibility, insights on uh phasing, durations of construction, uh all of those sorts of things. costing analysis for us as we go through schematic design, design, development, construction documents. So, we are making sure that we're making smart choices from a design perspective and the construction manager is looking for that constructibility, that durability, and again trying to make sure that we're keeping on track with the estimated budget.

029Creek construction services for rival constru construction is lump sum 75,000. Brock Miller, if you go down in the same column, Brock Miller is will be providing those necessary services, but they've chosen to give you a price of $0 for those services. The next next column over, keep going from left to right, the general conditions, and that's a series of a lot of different things that's outlined in the RFP document. Uh, there's various items are going to be a general conditions cost. There's going to be various items that are going to be a cost of the work. So they're all outlined in the booklet. So we asked for that as a lump sum fee per month and then an estimated duration on the number of months. Uh and what this does is this also takes into

030account uh how many staff they have. What's really going to be driving this cost is kind of the staffing that they're putting on the project for those iterations. Um so 60 so Rob Robinson Construction uh they broke their proposal into two phases. The first phase uh is approximately 17 months. So they had one value for that. It was a value uh I'm sorry the first phase was 11 months. So you see the number of months and they have a $69,800 value. Multiply that across and you get that 767800. And then down below that, you can see the description of what they're doing for staff. And then they had the second phase, they had different value. Phase two, they had $88,800 per month. That was going to have a duration of 17 months. That's $1,59,600. So

031that's how you get to the numbers. And then in that case, you would total those two. So the phase one, phase two. So total general conditions for Robinson Construction is $2,277,400. The CM fee, that's that percentage that that 3.90% times that plug number of 52 million amounts to that $2,28,000. I will say that that number for either of these will change once we know what those construction dollars the percentage will not change but for the uh purpose of this valuation that's how we're getting that 2 million20,000 and then you put your pre-construction services to 75 you have a total estimated total $4,380,400 for Robinson construction. Any questions about that one? So, we'll go back, drop down to the bottom half of the sheet for Brock Miller Construction. Again, their construction management fees 350%. Their pre-construction

032services. As indicated previously, they're charging you $0 for those services, but they are providing those services. We're going to make sure that they provide those services for you. So, if it's necessary, it's like I said, it's a three threelegged bill that don't work. And then they've got a general conditions lump sum fee of $52,000. and they've got 30 months estimated. So it's 1,560,000 you pay. So so I just carry that down at 1,560. The total construction management fees that's that 350% uh times that 52 million it's 1,820 1,820,000 and the pre-construction zero there estimated total 3,380,000 And I do want to make note there's a it was included in their proposal. You'll see on the lower right hand side of that chart that the Brock Miller Construction Incorporated is offering a $10,000 scholarship for Perry

033County School District students. We don't know any more data about that, but I'm assuming that in the contract negotiations that you'll have with them, uh, that there'll be more clarity to that, how that would be provided, how that might be administered, that kind of thing. But they did make that known in their proposal request. So from a costing perspective, if you want that big global number, it's the the number in the box there. So 4.380400 versus 338 questions about questions, comments, pardon, questions or comments. I do want to say that you all did the reviews on the qualifications and the interviews. The interviews were went well. The proposals were very clear. There's not a lot of ambiguity in these trying to figure these out. It was I from my perspective appreciate all the effort that

034the school board and other leaders had put into this to try to get the documents out to get the information from the construction managers and then taking the time all dedicated to doing the reviews. I know that's again added to layer of work uh on all of you and those that would participate in the scoring process. So I appreciate that. be appropriate to let either the contractor say something they have any point out anything we're missing or any comments I don't have problem if they want I know there's a representative here from both Robinson and Brock Miller is there any comments or something that we may have missed or seen anything that we need to hear >> uh for Robinson not that I'm aware Thank you, >> Stephen. Thanks for putting this together. >> Absolutely.

035>> Even though these are estimates, there's not a lot of variation can end up going into it. Is it? >> Yeah. The only estimate is is the fact that the construction value the only way reason I say it's an estimate because it's not going to be that particular fixed number because that number is going to be a derivative of what the actual construction cost is. So all of the numbers they provided you are set that 350 is set that 3 uh 90 would be set the cost for pre- construction services that number is set that cost for those general conditions lump sum that number is set. So, and that is the the one variable again with that would be the duration of the project. If this project goes longer for whatever that reason is, you

036may see a charge again for another month of general conditions, but it's come shorter, you're going to see a charge for less than that. So, that's the that's when I say estimate. That's the only reason I use that term is because I didn't want you to think that >> whether it's 4.3 or 3.3 that that is it is not going to change. Okay, good. To me, it's like picking between your sister or your brother. I don't know. That's a tough decision. Um I I can't I can't argue with the dollars. So qualifications are there. The quality of work is there of both. The first page it was a point difference. That didn't narrow it down. Um so for me I'm just Look at this last chart. You can see the direction that I would go.

037I agree with Glendon. I mean, I think the conversation we had after was that we all agreed that either of them could do the job with no problem. I have experience with Robinson with work and they do a lot of work for where I work. So I mean I have background with them but I have background with Brock Miller here. So actually I have experience with Brock Miller manual. So um so I'm I'm I believe everybody was very in very much in agreement that either could do the job. Um, I hate that it comes down to money, but unfortunately I'm kind of leaning to blend just because we have a certain pot of money and I mean there's enough of a discrepancy that that's a lot more building in my opinion. So I mean I

038I said I I I want both of them to understand that I think either one would have done a fine job, but I tend to blend We don't have that pot money yet. Whatever money, >> it's it's all all >> Yeah. Whatever pot of money we're going to have to work with. I' I'd like thank them both for >> outstanding presentations today. I'll make a motion to approve Brock Miller Constructions construction manager risk for demolition renovation and additions to the pair county school district 32 high school and associate site work contingent upon final contract negotiation. All those in favor >> I oppose. Rock Miller Construction will be our construction manager at this moving forward. >> Ranken student internship. >> Yes. >> Thank you, Stephen. Thanks. Hey Dominic, before we move on, just like to personally

039thank Robinson's for participating in this. Um, I know you're a local company and and contribute a lot to the community and we we appreciate you getting involved and being part of this and down the road hopefully maybe there's something else that will work out. But again, thanks a lot. We do appreciate you being part of it. >> Sure. Likewise, we appreciate full consideration and u we would love to do this project or maybe do the next project. So, we appreciate the all the consideration. So, thank you. We know you we know you guys have a you got a tough job to do. So, we appreciate what you do for the school board. >> For the school, >> we fully believe you're capable in pursuing a project like this. school. >> Understood. Thank you. >> Yeah.

040Ranken student internship uh last fall. Uh Mr. Jeff Wyrech approached myself and Mr. Dan Overkers about internship. uh he's the uh lead teacher for the HBAC program at Rankin and uh we had the opportunity to go out there about three weeks ago and Mr. Overberkers and I got to meet some interesting students who are very qualified and wanting to uh get into the HBAC field and so we've received quite a few uh interest or resumes and Mr. Wyreck based on his recommendation has sent over a couple students for our consideration. We simply are asking or would like for the board to approve that collaboration or partnership with them for an internship and uh we hope that will lead into possible employment as we currently have two maintenance positions open within the district. So is the

041HBAC program class internships like the rest of the classes? I mean as part of graduation is yeah we do a lot of that with another one of their programs. >> I don't see the link up there but did you get the letter? >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. We just didn't we do a lot with a different couple of different programs they've got at work uh and use them as interns and it's worked out great for us. So >> do they have like a mentor they work with or someone that guides them? >> Yes. Mr. 12 plus >> okay >> is senior workers most experience so they'll get a variety of different >> would they be focused specifically on HBAC or general >> they're going to get exposure other than HBAC as well yes >> does

042he grade them as far as >> yes weekly they have to do a journal weekly and then they'll be graded also part of that is simply anybody's rank and part of that grade is showing up and work their work ethic dependability things like that. Do they get a NIM certification through this program? Through the program we've got, they get a a NIMS certification. So, it's a nationally recognized certification. They come the internship with checklist, right? >> And they have to show that they've accomplish those things and when they're done, then they get this certification that goes with them in separate from the degree. >> I think the internship is part of that. >> Yeah. Great. >> Agree. >> Paid internship. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Paying them. >> Yeah. It's a good It's a good

043partner. >> I make motion to serve as the intern shop internship sites for the ranking technical college southeast. >> All those in favor? >> All right. Serve as an internship. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. Okay. >> Thank you. informationational items. We are storm recovery update. Stephen, they got your name by this. >> It's going to be pretty short, so I'll stand up. That's okay. >> Sure. You know, we're uh we're continuing to work things on the FEMA front, even though I know I think they're kind of on a stalemate right now. particular complaint, but either way, we're still still trying to do the things we need to be trying to do on any of it. We've got um whole slew of meetings. We've been meeting with all the various departments over the last few weeks.

044So, we tomorrow morning we have tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon, we got I think another five sessions lined up to visit with all most of the core groups. So, math, English, business, social studies, we can put facts in there. Maybe there's one more, I think. But anyway, we've been working through a lot of those more focused discussions with the the teaching staff that's going to be in those classrooms. So with the high school design. So doing a lot of that. We had marathon meetings today with all of our consultant team and we've got about 10 of our own staff design members on this project, but we also have true engineering. So they've got four of their members all the MP design. We got associates doing structural and civil. So again, we're having those all that collaborative

045efforts on those meetings trying to continue to push the documents forward on the high school piece of it. Uh so that that come together. So that's great to see that. And we're also working two other fronts uh with the pre-engineered metal building uh project. We're trying to get that uh shell of that ready that should be ready to actually hit the streets next week. So I'm glad we got a decision on that construction so we can get that all So get that shell out and at the same time we're continuing every day to work on the rest of that premium metal building again layering in all the basically all the architecture all the interior MPs site development civil all those sorts of aspects. So those documents will be wrapping up right around the second week

046of April. So that second part package that building will then hit the streets and be operating uh at that point. And then simultaneously with that, we got the interim temporary renovations uh in the 1970s part of the building that you know that's part of the plan for the solution for this project is to save that wing. So we're continuing to do again our work to get in there and do a baseline renovation for that building. It's going to be a two-phase renovation, but we're trying to get that all teed up as well so that then that can get out and some of that work start happening this summer. puts you in a very competitive position at the end of the summer. So, we'll work in those fronts as well. So, a lot of activity. We

047got a lot of stuff for mid the second third week of April. Then high school documents and those sorts of things they're going to be pushing out into mid mid June time frame I should say June. We touch base with the local authorities have jurisdiction. So trying to make sure we're keeping them in the loop on what what our planning is, what our thoughts are from a design perspective. You know, there's a lot of life safety and a lot of fire requirements in this structure since we are keeping parts of parts of it. I got to keep track of those schools. So um so we're continuing to work the same basically on all fronts right now. Hey Stephen, if the prop is successful, >> yeah, >> um when would you expect >> these preconstruction um

048that that portion of the project to be complete? I mean, is that a is that a month long? What >> could what could a person expect? >> You talk about the pre-construction services that was just approved in one of these proposals. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Those are those h those are happening now and they're going to work until the last bit of this do project gets out on the streets and bidding. We're going to try to get these documents done by set out by about mid June barring not barring everything continues to take the path that it's on now mid June. Okay. >> And then at that point it'll transition to your construction services. So once we do the bidding phase and the construction services phase after that, then that's when your general conditions kick

049in and the CP will start kicking in. So sort of >> the pre-construction stuff has to be happening like right now. Sort of an extension of what Glendon's asking. If prop kids pass and we meet again in April, we're going to know whether it's passed. >> Correct. If that passes, when do you expect to see the beginning of demolition or some site work happening? What what would what would be your guess for when we start seeing boots on the ground? >> I mean, part of our part of that April mid April, second, third week of April package is that early demo package. >> Okay. >> So then that can get out in the streets a bit and get teed up for when school is out. Then that hits the ground and we get started. So

050the plan to try to when school is out we're going to start >> that's right immediately try to get in there get let's get some of the stuff out of the way that we know is the demo it's going to be heavy equipment on site lot disruption but you can't be doing that when we got drop off and pick up you know we're got plus several phases timed out for that. >> Have you seen any roadblocks or speed bumps to completing those spaces by December? Uh which uh which phases? >> The re um the revamp phase of the 70s building and the >> let we're trying to get that done over this summer. >> So no no no foreseen um hiccups by December. >> Well, there'll be a lot of hiccups but >> it's delaying

051past December. >> But I I'm not I'm not I'm not sitting here uh thinking I can't tell you this because I'm too nervous about it. I mean right now that's the goal. That's a target. >> Okay. >> If people have hit ground running, we're ready to go. We're we're putting our stuff together. Not that much unlike some of the packages that we done previously already over there. Did a package over there to get the fire to be back service. So, it' be very similar to that. So, I'm not seeing any issues with that. >> Calling any road blocks you see by December right now. >> Any other questions for Steve? Thank you, Sarah. Thank you. >> Moving off to the superintendent report, employment opportunities. >> As we do each month there, we uh provide an

052update on the employment opportunities. And uh we'll be taking care of a couple of those. But uh Coach Dryer and I are going to be coming very good pals here coming up because we're going to have a few coaching positions to look at along with our administrators to other positions. But thank you very much to the administration for their help. It's been a busy last week or two also doing interviews. So we're going to have some recommendations here in the close session. attendance report >> and also you've been provided with an attendance report and uh similar to last month and uh I kind of look around. We actually have a couple administrators who are not feeling well and we're still seeing the effects of uh some sickness and Mr. Bachmann's not breathing on me too

053much here I hope because he doesn't sound out too well. uh that we've really seen a a lot of sickness in the last uh four or five six weeks I think would be fair to say and I see my we have an attendance committee meeting we met yesterday uh just a lot of things going on uh with illness there but the attendance is down um now for the last month since we last reported on that keep >> okay thank you >> overall the numbers actually for year to date they actually look really If you figure in back in August, we I' I've updated that this fall. We go monthly and we've also been providing a a yearly. Overall, it's still >> okay about that. It's not great, but it's okay. And uh once again, I

054I I can't help but publicly thank our folks here in the audience, our administrators, and all those that work with our kids and the efforts they put in and getting those kiddos here each and every day. And uh it's it's a it's a job. So those are really good numbers for the high school, aren't >> they? High school. >> I was going to pull it up. >> It's uh >> Okay. >> But yeah, those are really good numbers for high school, I think. >> Let's talk to Lisa Martin. She's >> Yeah, she's done all of that. That's been all >> Yeah. >> It's still struggling though. We have a lot of sick right now. >> Yeah. It's hitting us at work, too. So, >> but yeah, that's great. I mean, even with bad month, the

055year today looks really good. >> Or much better. >> Financials. Sorry, too. So looks like the first one attached is uh year to date for revenue. So you can see the light green is our current year. The middle green is previous year and the dark green is the year before. This is divided into local revenue, state revenue and federal revenue so that you have a visual comparison. And then below we provide the numbers for year to date and show that to you compared to the same year to date the prior year. The third column provides the amount that has been budgeted and then there is a percent budget that you can watch and that's divided out by local, state, federal, other. And then the flip page this time is the expenditures and it's set up

056in the same manner for you to be able to see salaries and benefits, purchase services and supplies and materials at a three-year glance. So, you can compare them side by side visually, as well as the numbers by column. This one, the percent isn't quite as predictable on expenditures because we have a lot of expenditures that happen at the beginning of the school year and then there are some that actually they don't happen until the very end of the school year. So, the percentage is not quite as much of a predictor, but it's still provided for you on that. Moving on to the board newsletter newsletter put together with the help of Mr. Ford and there is a lot going on. >> Hang this on your fridge. There's a lot. I really appreciate the narrative stories

057about students and what's going on. It's great >> and the um just the amount of what's on social media, everything going on. It's it's just really wonderful. Appreciate it. >> This one's a good one to hang on the fridge. >> Questions or comments? We need a motion. Make a motion to adjourn. >> All those in favor? >> Opposed? Meetings journal.
