001oh you need to order please uh secretary here well yes Nolan yes peppas here vote here Gorman hot motion is sucker yes vote Yes No One yes so tonight just quickly showing you the changes for fy24 Budget um later in the regular board meeting I will ask for your formal approval of this thing it's been on display for 30 days at the district office and the public house has posted in the newspaper the board must adapted by September 30th of every year and then we have 30 days to file it with the Roe County clerks which we'll do immediately after the meeting and then the electronic version will be uploaded to issue by October 31st um basically the only changes minimal changes to the PowerPoint none of these slides in the beginning change revenues have
002one change we added a grant in there for ninety five thousand dollars or I should say the revenues change the net change of ninety five thousand dollars 747 and then for expenditures we only had changes in the Ed Fund in the imrf fund both were Personnel changes or grants some were reclancing different areas of the budget and then um I'll show that after the spreadsheet I'll just show you the quick spreadsheet of all the changes but there are 100 100 roughly 100 lines account items that change for a net page of only 10 818 so of all the shifting back and forth it was mostly just changing account numbers everywhere um so that was pretty insignificant and then the IMR was related to somehow salary changes definitely a five thousand dollar increase in that in
003that fund only the omf fund will have Justice balance so this slide only had a few of the Elementary classroom salaries changed just a bit none of the other ones changed here in the total education expenses changed the net of that ten thousand dollars is actually a decrease of ten thousand dollars and then this slide no one has one had no changes Transportation has no changes this would the imrf line would have changed that five thousand dollars from the previous presentation all the rest stayed the same and then on this one summary it shows you the new revenues and expenditures for the only two lines that would have changed with the imrf funds so you can see here the revenues and the expenditures and then the difference and then on the projected fund balance summary
004this is the where we project our fun balances to land as of next June um this fund balance is what we call our cash reserves so this is something just so if you they kind of are the same same words if you wanted to but um this is kind of the definition of we're moving up and that's all I have um actually let's see and show you it's in your board phone that you have so all of you should have a balance course budget book I mean that has a presentation and the whole entire budget included in the next and in this one pull this up included in this in the board packet and in your card copy you'll see the um revenues it was for a teacher vacancy grants for a hundred thousand dollars
005so we had five thousand in there to attend a budget we increased it to the hundred we come with the 95 000 change and then for the expenditures um you just will go up to the top so you have all of these different changes throughout here um new hires and line lane changes mostly three classes um but if you scroll down to the bottom then you have all your grants it's a little great experience see more grants so you had your net change of ten thousand dollars there and then down here you have your item wrap for your net change of 5000 and these relative changes are similar to past years we've had just a little bit of stuff moving around this is not an outlier in any way correct any questions on the board
006no public comments so at this point we need a motion and a second to adjourn yeah yeah yes vote Yes the thief yes Nolan yes thanks all puppy here well myself yes Nolan yes Pappas here here Foreman uh we have a motion in a second to approve the agenda second a thief yes yes vote Yes Nolan yes please join us thank you to everyone who's here tonight administrators parents community members and all those watching online um I think just you know obviously we're going to be recognizing some students who have done a great job in their academics so welcome to our program I really appreciate you coming out to be recognized it's exciting for us also we have Steve Nelson here who lives with Larson Darby who's our architect I want to show us some
007design features tonight so so all right now let's start with the assistant principle Toby recognizing our students who received the College Board National recognition Awards Juan thank you parents and community members for being here and our students it's very exciting to be up here tonight to introduce to you eight of our 17 recipients of this college board award uh to be honored for this award students must have completed in their sophomore or Junior year either the PSAT 10 the PSAT msnq team you can follow all the acronyms or in an AP exam and done well on that exam plus they would have had a 3.5 GPA or higher in the last couple of years to be honored during their senior year so all of these students are seniors during the exam they would have recognized
008themselves as being from a small school or rural District which is what we are and have an ethnicity or his uh that cultural background of being Hispanic or Latino or Latina So based on that AP or excuse me college board is recognizing 17 seniors for these accomplishments so we'd like to recognize them tonight in front of all of you uh just so you know the award itself entitles the students who get opportunities beyond the normal opportunities for the big future scholarships that they do offer so students are encouraged to go back into the College Board site see what other opportunities are out there it also hooks them up with additional colleges and representatives that'll then help kind of get their name out there and their credentials with this award attached to it to hopefully get
009even more scholarship more money opportunities later on so it's super exciting I'm going to go ahead and I'm just going to have them stand since Chicago tech room this evening unless you'd like to have them come up and Shake Your Hands whatever you prefer but I will call them and they can go ahead and stand up starting with Arya shock congratulations Aria we have Alan Perez with us this evening thank you for being here we have Brianna domalatian Emma Larson Eva samuelian Corel is selling Goomba Vishnu chocolanda and Zane [Applause] you have one question I'm sorry can your neighbors oh I'm so cute you really carefuses for all of them thank you for all for being here this evening and celebrating them with us we'll laugh about a couple comments starting with Gene Myers is
010this on yeah I asked every time hello Gene Meyer concerned citizen Christian Masters prepared registered nurse I've heard with sadness that due to a rise in coronavirus infections some schools have mandated masking with rumors of Nationwide mandates to happen in October God designed our lungs to inhale and exhale air without restriction cilia and mucus move Invaders including viruses and debris from the Airways out of the body masks restrict both inhalation and exhalation and hold Invaders near our nose and mouth not conducive to Optimal Health synthetic masks have varying levels of vocs volatile organic compounds injurious to health the association of American Physicians and surgeons founded in 1943 made a statement on September 12 2023 the copy which you all should have now they say this patients or people when used with public health measures have
011the right to be informed about the risks and benefits of any medical intervention and they call these medical interventions the use of mass and other face coverings for this article government recommendations and mandates regarding face coverings have been contradictory they've been provided to the public as authoritative and without evidence and they're in conflict with the available data and they neglect to manage any potential harm from face coverings or masks concerning the potential for harm there are at least six studies and if you actually go online you could click to see these and reports that illuminate downsides of masking and face coverings in different scenarios um some examples the prolonged use of n95 and surgical mass by Health Care Professionals during covid-19 has caused adverse effects such as headaches rash acne skin breakdown and this is
012the worst for both Healthcare professionals like me and our students impaired cognition we don't need our students to have trouble thinking cloudy thinking um this one is probably related to that experimental data has shown that carbon dioxide content in the inhaled air rises on an average to 13 000 to 13 750 parts per million no matter whether children wear a surgical mask or an ffp2 mask this is far behind beyond the level of 2 000 parts per million Way Beyond that considered the limit of acceptable and Beyond the 1000 part per million that's normal for a air enclosed rooms so like what we're breathing now Society requires facial recognition as a most basic component of interaction and communication volunteering masking with no gain contributes to societal alienation so and those are just a few but
013they say mandates currently in place must be rescinded and no future mandate should be imposed and I would just say that we live in a free country masks must be voluntary people that want to wear them should people that don't should not have to thank you thank you hello my name is Ken Cowell I have two children currently attending Central High School both of them are athletes I think we can all agree Central needs an athletic trainer our coaches have done their jobs they've gone above and beyond they have increased the size of our football program and have inspired them to work really hard off season and on season our boys are working harder than they ever have and we have very high hopes in making playoffs this year for the first time since 2014.
014unfortunately my son and many football players are being negatively affected by not having a trainer four games in and they are played with numerous injuries many reoccurring my son hurt his ankle last week and had no school trainer to assist him he treated himself from what had been done in the past and relied on coaches and his aunt who used to be a trainer for help I don't want to give details about the treatment that he was in advice he was given last week but I can tell you he had to rely on what was available and what was available led him to roll his ankle again in practice and he played in the game Saturday and he got further hurt now we are waiting to find out if it's something more serious and still
015no trainer to guide us many of the boys on the team have been nursing injuries and continue to get re-injured I've never seen so many injuries at one time and it's not an exaggeration and it's absolutely no coincidence they need maintenance and advice from a trainer that they are not receiving photo trainer have said not to have practiced or played at the game Saturday or treated them during the week so they were ready would any of these injuries have been prevented or less severe had we had a trainer we obviously don't know that because we can't go back in time and change it but we do have control over what we do in the future for practicing games I know that I had much more peace of mind when we had a dedicated and very
016knowledgeable trainer that cared for us and guided our kids coaches players and parents all deserve to have someone that we trust trainers have a huge amount of responsibilities and after I talk I'll hand them out because I there are too many to say today and not enough time sorry so I'll leave it and I having a trainer also leaves our coaches and our athletic trainers our athletic director with more on their plates and they now desperately try to fill those shoes and while we appreciate the efforts of our current athletic staff it is clear and it is clear that they care about our students and are working hard it doesn't come anywhere close to filling the gaps of not having a trainer well I learned this week that it is not illegal in Illinois to
017not have a trainer it is harmful to our athletes and assess them at a disadvantage every other school in our conference has a dedicated athletic trainer and we've been borrowing them I do question why the trainer was let go and why it was done first of all it was done very very quickly she was let go in less than a week of one parent complaint she was here three years with no incidences and she was beloved by the entire Central Community that I know of very a lot of people I know it was said in the so-called incident it is absurd to think somebody was let go for this it wasn't illegal it wasn't a HIPAA violation somebody that worked so hard and does so much and they are thrown out and literally literally and
018figuratively can't be replaced I also one of the situ the situation could have been avoided or better prepared for a quick decision was made before having a backup plan especially since fall Sports were just starting at the exact same time research could have been done to find out things like oh there's an athletic trainer shortage right now in conclusion all of the injuries that my son and many athletes have really demonstrate that what we have right now is currently not good enough better than nothing is not good enough and we're doing the best with what we have is not good enough this is really affecting them now it is getting worse every week and it is likely affecting them in their Futures I know many of them are looking forward to playing in college and
019I'm not sure if that's going to be able to happen or it's going to make it a lot harder if he's going to be injured the rest of his senior year it's very it's really has been heartbreaking our kids deserve the best period we need a dedicated full-time trainer a motion in seconds are required to discuss and approve the consent agenda special to put it in your board packet is your Revenue suspension reports revenues are currently at 6.44 compared to 6.34 a year ago expenditures are at 12.35 compared to 11.08 a year ago no impact or transition transition fees were received since last month's meeting bills payable for both Northern Kane and Central are typical for September this is the month where all of the bills from the summer get caught up while the secretaries
020are back from school and then in Northern Keynes this month is their final FY 23 expenditure so they have through 90 days after June 30 to get stuff in and this is the last payout for the fy23 stuff so we can start moving on 24. um the audits were both Northern team and Central are still in progress and just with the timing of the board meeting and the other stuff that we're spending they filed an extension just so that way we aren't delinquent in our in our family um the due October 15th every year artboard meeting I believe is one day after that so the intent is to still have them come if everything's finalized by them but I don't want to rush it either so um Phil yes pepis yes vote Yes a fee
021yes Nolan yes our next solution and second required to discuss and approved Veterinary affiliation agreement renewal so this is generally a process that comes in every month when we have approvals of Veterinary affiliation agreements this is a renewal so it's not in one so any questions if so we have a director folks here if you answer any questions you might have this is our second year with this one or third year I don't know if it's two or three years but this one for one of our Pathways students that comes here from Bartlett High School just so for your information why it's so far away is making it uh kind of conducive to where they live in their region that's why of course our vet tech program is is pretty large so we've got Partnerships
022all over the place any questions yes Tapas yes vote Yes okay yes Nolan yes uh motion and second are required to discuss and approved baseball team's spring break trip to South Carolina for the Cal Rifkin experience March 23rd to the 26th of 2024. second so this is a trip that used to be done prior to coven and it has kind of been on um hold it has now been requested that they do it again it is something that we have done in the past uh pretty consistently uh with a coach who provides this uh coach Nelson Kyle Nelson so it is our recommendation we would approve this to move forward is this all levels specific to a level so parents get to choose to take the students the coach goes so not the entire team
023goes it's really kind of engage that much parents choose to go and who does any we have other a few other questions [Music] Varsity athletes priority they're going every other year um honorary sport um Kyle Nelson puts together takes uh they played Varsity JV games an opportunity for kids to you know have an experience a place again so are parents responsible for getting their kids there there's a couple different ways to go about it I know the prior to coping um they worked it out that there was an opportunity that a lot of times parents could find their own flight out there and then they would have I believe coach long drove one of the white multi-function buses out there and transported kids back and forth a couple different ways you can do that but
024yes it would be responsibility of kids to get themselves out there depending with the parents so I'm confused is this a central sponsor of event then yes with our baseball team and those games would count towards their ihsa is 19 years here they've never batted an eye his parents going there's never been issues per sect s to do anything like this hybrid like this where the team's not traveling together not nothing with that you know a lot of times it only applies to spray Sports just because they're obviously they're not missing classes to do this they're filling that week of that week's schedule where no games can be played there are other schools in the area that do go about this in the surrounding area that do something similar as well so it's not like
025it's Unique and new well it's Unique to Facebook in our district they've been doing it oh yeah yeah it just seems like an outline or everything else is the team traveling together with school transportation and so I guess it just seems like a hybrid I've since I've been on board I don't think this has happened so that's why I'm asking these questions okay so I just haven't heard anything like this so it's curious to me I could gather more additional information from surrounding areas if you'd like it's a unit and I guess yes and no I think a lot of times with parents you know if they have frequent flyer miles or they're members of a certain Club they can reduce their airfare and things of that nature so that kind of helps offset the
026cost that you know they fundraise to do some of that this event also happens over spring break so maybe some parents are going somewhere else we have anything for students that maybe don't have their names and any additional help or maybe it's going to playground no so that's why that's why it's on here to allow coach Nelson if he wants to do a team fundraiser Hub offset some of those costs and that they can do that like we've never turn away a kid based off of that we'd find a way to to make it work but again it would be outside resources that right he fundraised for it's not like you know it's a district building it's been fit it's in addition to what he wants to do do kids stay with their parents do
027kids stay together really responsible for when you get to block the hotel rooms so when they're there he's responsible for those kids with check in check out uh same things apply if a parent wants to take they have to communicate with the coach so it's not unsupervised it's just the method of getting out there is you know we want to be flexible with parents because everybody's situation is different business yes vote Yes a thief yes yes and Phil yes Nolan yes uh motion and second are required to discuss and approve the bits for the high school 20 classroom Edition new high school edition you can see we have a multitude of different vendors that are here in your board packet these do represent the lowest bidder that came through and everything in all of the
028areas we have masonry structural still General trades Roofing aluminum glazing acoustical ceilings painting fire protection Plumbing HVAC and electrical of the vendors that were lowest Builders We have dealt with all of the vendors except four of them a however shells mcnut has dealt with all four of those vendors Baroque masonry we've never dealt with at Central but shells has dealt with them ta Bowman Constructors again shells has worked with them we have not apps of fire protection shells has worked with we have not and CMI mechanical shells has worked with what we have done if you have further questions I think Mr Pauline is here he'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have if you have further questions Dan just a question about where where these uh the total bid for
029what we have at least here came in relative to what you were expecting even like a percentage 10 higher 10 lower the overall total bid came in almost right on budget okay some of the contractors were higher than expected some were lower so it kind of all equaled out but we came in right on budget and we're trying to Value engineer as we always do with every project value engineer any items that we can just to save some additional costs any other questions thank you yes vote Yes a thief yes bulk yes and Phil yes Nolan yes uh motion is not going to require to discuss and approve the letter of credit for the King County construction permit which is required for the classroom Edition at CHS second again as you imagine it is required
030uh Daniel's work to get the approval credit so that we can that are always expected by the county so we can move forward so it's the last piece for that permitting piece for the county vote Yes a thief yes bulk yes pencil yes Peppers yes Nolan yes uh Motion in a second are required to discuss and approve the final budget for 301 for the 23-24 school year so moved exactly as mentioned Danny just had the budget hearing so if you have any questions for our Dana relevant to the budget or she is sure to answer any questions right now questions a feet yes both yes and film yes Peppers yes vote Yes Nolan yes I'm watching a second required to discuss and approach the Consolidated District plan to move forward Grant hunting it is required
031before we consume any of our grants such as our El grants our title grants director Inga would have been here but he's down the state getting Title One Grant Training and so he is not here to talk about this but this Saturday District plan really deals with a multitude of content there's a special education and special demographics our instructional plan uh basically what we're doing across the district and all of those Arenas so the curriculum directors student service directors our el director have all worked together in collaboration to develop this plan uh and it's just kind of a full pledge plan in terms of what we'll be doing instructionally relevant to interventions Service delivery demographic elements in terms of meeting the needs of our students thank you both yes yes vote Yes a fee yes
032no one yes uh most of the second are required to discuss and improve the memorandum of understanding that eligibility in college for our dual credit coursework classes so this is just a renewal of a previous memorandum of understanding we had with Elgin Community College it actually puts forth all the requirements that we have for instructors both at the high school to teach dual credit as well as instructors at ECC to teach dual credit Source agreement we have between ECC and ourselves uh that kind of determines how we move forward any questions pencil yes campus yes vote Yes a thief yes false yes Nolan yes report report for this year to see we're at about a 1.42 and it actually says 1.34 we had four new students again today we have a lot of houses out
033there still being constructed so a lot of the students can't start until they actually move in and close on their homes so we're seeing them trickle in as we continue to go through the reality is is that you know when we talk about space we talk about the you know maybe a possible referendum this year one of our challenges is that we continue to grow but even if we had zero growth at this point in time we still need more rooms for the students and that is really the rationalize for some other options any questions an update on the athletic trainer just some updates hard to believe we're already at homecoming here this week uh the dance will be Saturday we're going to try to have that outside after talking with our our student council
034and some of the sponsors that set that up um if anybody's free on Wednesday we're going to try something different this year we got our Powder Puff football games at five and six and then we got kind of a community pep assembly starting at seven o'clock uh we'll run that for about 45 minutes an hour and then our our athletic booster club has purchased fireworks for Wednesday night so we'll do it Wednesday night instead of Friday after the football game so uh live performances by a lot of uh of my cheer dance our band will be out there so and I know some of our student council kids have a have a few things that they they want to show off as well so if you're available on Wednesday you want to come out that'll
035start about seven o'clock and then uh Works to follow right there right behind the south end of the stadium yeah with this week as well we actually just had uh girls golf senior night at Whisper Creek I think we got every event uh known anybody going tomorrow with cross country at home uh girls volleyball boys soccer and boys golf going on at home tomorrow uh so it's a great opportunity to come out and see a lot of different things this week that uh at some of our facilities so that's exciting and then obviously the homecoming football game Friday night with like I mentioned the dance on Saturday uh also just giving update aware with the athletic trainer right now we've had great response from ping green and Burlington the off-duty EMTs have come and have
036done a great job kind of filling in and being an extra set of eyes for General first aid and some injuries like that so we've had that that pretty much every event and even after school if the kids want to pop in check in a lot of other companies like Northwestern Medicine ATI some of the local universities as well have not gotten back regarding any additional or available bodies that we have so we've kind of gone through that I did have a phone call into team Rehabilitation they have an office in uh off Randall Road kind of Algonquin Elgin border and I've got a meeting set up with that to discuss some potential coverages coming up so we're looking at a lot of different options making some Headway but right now our athletes do have
037somebody looking after them and uh like anything regardless of what we do Communications key that's what we're stressing it coaches the kids because regardless if there's somebody there or not if they're not telling us what they're feeling or what they're doing we can't address it so is currently where we stand with our training is it fair to say I mean I can tell that we I can I know we're exhausting every option that we have are there any options from a um a contract standpoint that obviously would cost more but there's a board member I've looked on an issue with that and those options exist where we'd have somebody in like that while we looked for somebody permanent like you know where there's like travel nurses right we've had nurses in our buildings or we've
038been short right it's like that large expenditure but something that's necessary right yeah we're looking at all those angles right now it's just a matter of you know if we do have a contract who has the uh the ability or the bodies to fill it appropriately you know we're not also not trying to get kind of a little pulled over our eyes but you know we want to be diligent in what we do we want to make sure we have the right people like anything you know there's there's all sorts of checks and balances that you want to do to make sure we're getting the right people in to to look after our student athletes and our kids because at the end of the day they're going to be around them so if that's your
039question yes but we want to make sure still it's it's a right fit it's not just as much as you know the needs there it's we want to make sure it's the right person or the right group of people thank you operation come on down all right he's back with updates on uh other uh ongoing projects in the district but last month I got to go before 10. he's altering so um so um you approved the second phase of the high school edition the first phase started a couple weeks ago with earthwork beginning we worked with Kane County to do a two-phase permitting process with the Roe in Kane County so the first phase was earthwork and concrete in the underground to get the ball rolling so we could try to get everything going before
040the snow flies so that's that's moving along well hopefully be done somewhere that first second week of October with that phase and then hopefully we can roll right into that next phase and start building that building some of the Interior stuff we wrapped up Sarah Farrington worked on getting the library Cabinetry installed and finishing up that project so we got that installed and that worked out really well for some additional storage for them and there she finished that up last week we're still working with our vendor um to get the countertops for the teacher's work room hopefully have that in the next week or two that's been a vendor challenge that we've been working through so everybody's been very cooperative and understanding of that as we work through that process um and then district office
041here as you see when you walk in doesn't look like anything's been done but we've been working on lighting and electrical stuff and wrapping that stuff up working on getting our painter in to finish up the ceramic and get some exterior painting done and then get the flooring in and hopefully with any luck wrap that up in the next few weeks also any questions the administrator and teacher salary report that's required annually so yeah annually for October 1st we School District who report the administrator teacher salary and benefits to the State Board of Education we use the Eis report which is the employment information system report to fulfill it the report includes salaries paid health insurance benefits retirement enhancements today's vacation days so tonight we're presenting this a little bit closer to the website and
042it's included in your birthday um business will review the imrf compensation package this is similar thing but it's imrf employees annually we have to post this within six days after we approve the budget so essentially approve the budget tonight then this has our website within six days so this report includes all the employees that have a total compensation package over seventy five thousand dollars it also includes the same salaries and benefits and insurance vacation day sick days and the report is included in your project excellent now Steve Nelson from Larson and Darby group will present on the plans for a new high school building here we go mine might be a few months longer because I've got some slides to show you so bear with me a little bit we'll get her opened up here
043all right so since I've had the opportunity to be in front of the board we have a couple new faces welcome uh it was hard for me to sit there and not vote Yes or no once again 17 years of that um we have had a number of committee meetings since I've last been in front of the board as well as some facility visits uh to look at what's being done out there in some of the leading schools in Northern Illinois and quite frankly the region the community's been great good group of people very energized been very helpful we when I first was last in front of the board we had an initial concept plan that was used to at least establish that initial budget for the referendum and we had then gone in and
044taken a fresh look came up with three different options and had that a working session with the committee where we work make everybody got to spend about 30 minutes with each concept concept that we had tear it apart like what they didn't like knowing all that up then we came back did some more work on that and came back with two completely different options from those three basically hybrids of all the different comments and I I feel confident in sailing we probably picked up at least 90 percent of the comments that were made between those first three concepts to the next two I will be showing you those two now the committee has seen them already they have also had a working session on those and we're currently in the process of making some adjustments
045to the plan that they felt confidently moving forward I'll reveal that at the end for your consideration but it's all been a very good working session um very engaged people very positive comments uh Forward Thinking in most cases uh Mr Nola Falk have been a part of that I'm sure they would Echo those same thoughts so we did do two facility visits so far two different days we might consider third depending on where we want to go and see but the first visit was McHenry West and DeKalb High School McHenry was put on a very nice CTE based Edition just in the last two years it was an award winner as well we got to see that most of the tour was focused on that but we did see other spaces within the building both
046athletic PE Gathering space student common area science classrooms and their careertech area and then we also went to DeKalb High School tour that whole facility it's a little bit older facility they're probably on 12 or 14 years roughly give or take and and pulled some comments from that and then just last week we had the opportunity to visit Three facilities we started at Maine East High School they have a number of high schools in the main Township District but we are in Maine East based on what I told them that we wanted to see that's a 1929 building originally that they've done some significant transformative changes to and some additions and they're running about 1800 students in that particular high school it's a little less athletically based than like Maine South is they're a little
047more theatrically based there they had some very nice highlighted CTE programs and feel free Esther and jump in with any comments there uh they're a very good hosts we went through their servery we basically covered the whole high school they had some unique art room setups as well uh some of the original classrooms are still in the older part of the building and felt you know new fresh paint and everything but they had a very nice Library one of the things that I would say was probably common to all three facilities that we visited for the libraries were definitely significant smaller amount of physical books a slightly smaller space and a very very very open plan with lots of group rooms in fact the one at Main East doesn't even have a perimeter wall it's
048just part of an open space above the stairway not a large Corridor uh with group drives all the way around the perimeter and we saw both students and staff sitting in in varying types of seating in between their classes either studying or or researching or reading a book or whatever it might be so very good very good visit there we then went to New Trier High School so nutrient is a very landlocked High School I believe that building is actually originally a 1919 building but they've also done massive changes and additions to that they admittedly still have some of the original classrooms that are 600 square feet uh that they that are still on their list to you know renovate and adjust but the vast majority of the space has been redone they have a
049four-story uh kind of open Commons area with stairs at each end some of those pictures were in some of the inspirational slides that I showed the committee and the staff earlier in August they have a beautiful black box theater they have a servery area that they put through what are they about 30 well there are 3 600 students and that campus the building we were in was actually sophomores Juniors and seniors their other campus uh where 60 where uh Breakfast Club was filmed that's just a freshman campus so um they are very tight and greatly unlocked at the other end their athletic facilities they have a field house that's buried half in the ground that is just track based on a little bit of volleyball they have main gyms above that they have a two-story
050climbing a wall they have multiple servers as well the students can go anywhere in the building once they have their food to eat anywhere you want to go the thing that I found was interesting also with almost three of the buildings that we saw on that tour is they had a secure entrance button at the traditional secure entrance you would think of they all had staff sitting there in a scanning area you got buzzed in through it through an airlock but then you were open to the school there was a security officer to scan your ID or check your ID but it wasn't in an office many of their main offices were on totally different floors because of the age of the buildings and where things were located that's not how we're setting this one
051up just so you know but that was interesting that that's how they've handled those security issues they certainly have a high level of budget availability in Winnetka and it's a nice facility but there were certainly less emphasis on CTE programs there they were kind of highlighted right in the main Corridor but they were very traditional in what they were offering um and then our last stop was Stevenson High School where is Maine located I'm assuming so it's like Park Ridge area okay and I'm sure I'm assuming is whenever Stevenson's in Lincolnshire serves a much larger area because Stevenson has 4 600 students and they're a million square foot of building um they had a lot of very nice things and they have uh more money than God quite frankly but there are a lot of
052good themes on what they're doing how they're doing it that can be applied to your facility and done in a more uh financially judicious way they have very large budget there to work with they put on some very nice additions they have green balls everywhere they have four serveries throughout the building one of which is open until 8 30 PM they have three coffee shops they have four learning stairs they're a full four-story building I think there's four elevators in that building it stretches out over a very long area they have and I'll show you some kind of stuff here in a second they also have theaters that do not have does not have a balcony has a main floor and it's kind of a scalloped back and there are two 30-foot cylinders in the
053back which is kind of strange when we were first when I first walked in I'm like this seems odd that you know those seats come dip and go back and forth as I looked at the floor there's a three-quarter inch gap between that concrete wall and the floor that's because those 30 foot diameter cylinders that have 150 seats in them are in lecture Halls facing the other direction the majority of the time but when they want they push a button and they rotate all the way around and face the theater so they have 300 more seats in the theater don't even ask me what their costs I would have no idea I know no one else that has but there's a way to achieve the same kind of thing and I'll talk a little bit
054about that so I think the the tours are beneficial to see what not only the trends the house like education has been delivered this type of spaces it's being delivered in type of seating how much they integrate at the educational process not just in the classroom and the whole building can be a learning tool the whole all the spaces can be learning spaces if you design them to be that way which is our goal for this this high school so um moving on uh we've reviewed a number of the options I'm going to go through the two options that were last presented to the committee we had plans to start with and then there are some 3D images and then a very quick video this was option b uh option b you'll see has a
055large curved front that is a four-story classroom section and I can I learned how to do this recently too let me get my laser pointer out so you can see that red dot this is a three this is the first floor but this section is a four-story section this section right in the center here would be the area that has an opening uh on all floors at this point to the left this is office main office area entry is right in here obviously you can see where the theater and the support spaces are over here man competition gym locker rooms to one side PE lockers that way athletic locker rooms this way and then the large Field House very much like the footprint that you have right now this is the like lunch area meeting
056multi-purpose Gathering space this would be the front of the building out here and if I move to the second uh second floor I'll cross the whole thing theater uh Field House gyms are obviously multi-story spaces now you see how the classrooms are set up in that curve this is open to below you have the library your library space up here your art space over here with these spaces being banned in coral and those are two story spaces and over the top of the lockers below is Fitness and weights to modular system storage access the wrestling room is up on this level and support space for that and then we put the other third and fourth floor of educational Wing third and fourth at the top matches as you go up bathrooms are stacked we are
057not looking at Corridor lockers we are not looking at lockers for every student because the vast majority don't get used so we have Locker banks on each floor level in the buildings which the they could be more use it as you need to type of a thing or people that want to reserve them the front office has got all the normal front office functions and this is true of both schemes but it also has some social emotional support nurses station down on the first floor we've done the same thing you'll see here on the third floor a suite of spaces that are can be Career Tech as well as another nurse spot and another social emotional support spot so anywhere a student is they can go up or down a floor and get some support
058on whatever they might need where they don't have to go all the way down to the first place every time they need uh medication they're are in need of some assistance that was something that came from everybody that I brought up and then we had social workers and counselors and people there just the way that everybody's crowd right now just off the main office which the first original one that we looked at kind of just a bunch of offices all right off the main office which gets very ingested especially our current space understandably so but just splitting that kind of it's almost like teams right like you could have different people you could have freshman sophomore and wonder however it is that admin chose to to break that up it was huge though to spread
059that out too and then that doesn't feel quite as um open when kids are coming in right by the main office there's a little bit more privacy and um I think uh just you know a different way to approach it which is everybody was on board with from Support Services right I think the other interesting thing we found out so our committee which is made up of teachers Administration um board members one of the questions was about the Mark was do we keep lockers do not keep lockers where do you think the usage is uh our staff they don't use their lackers they used to take their backpacks to the classroom and that's kind of where they're at they carry their stuff with them that's kind of our kid today well you saw the other
060three larger buildings Maine New Trier and Stevenson we asked about do you did you guys when you put your distance on did you add new lockers they said no when they had surveying to their students they they guessed somewhere between I think we got a range somewhere between 30 percent to about 40 percent of students would use those depending on which building we talked to so it's about a third of our students that they would anticipate would even use the lockers that you would have so having that bank is probably more fiscally responsible it provides us more opportunity to put other things into space that are more usable for our students so I think that's one of a hearing from our art staff but B just kind of following up with the other larger districts
061it's not the same kind of elements correct just that was interesting yeah so just I'll run through some quick exterior images these are very early preliminaries model hasn't been built yet because we'll be building it in 3D as we do the drawings but these are really surface supplied just to give you an intent and there's still a lot to be worked out over the next several months but it gives you an idea of how it might sit what the front is so here you have that four-story wing all of your other support pieces are behind it from is from from an approach or entry standpoint a couple of different if you're driving right up the main drive that's what which way you would see from the other side on the right kind of a masonry
062base limited plenty of glass but not a big glass box because that's really not in the budget we need to be conscious of how much glass slots use the areas that we're targeting you'll see here one of the things in this scheme is there's an open area underneath that part of the building that could be built out in the future if need be but what would start as an open area or covered outdoor Terrace area approaching it a little bit closer then there's a quick video that I can click on that gives you just a little run by so foreign this is the option that the the vast majority of the committee felt most strong about and and they would like to see Pursuit you as important to come to consensus with that we'll talk
063about that at the very end so again the main core of the building is uh you get that laser printer on here yeah yeah the main core of the building is this spine right here that's a four-story classroom Tower again you'll see the circulation is pretty simple here so you've got that open spine with these smaller uh trapezoid areas are there open sections to below there's fire stairs you know egress stairs throughout the building but in a main open stair here which is one we saw at uh actually a number of we saw them at Stevenson and even the one at Maine Township this is the other Corridor that runs left to right in this case that's really the majority of circulation short of the two smaller hallways that go between the athletic side here
064very easy supervision wise very easy to navigate in way find where you're at instead of having you know a maze of things like your current high school or micro High School um it's it's somewhat divided by this side on the left where we have again open uh lunch area Gathering space functions as a lot before the theater itself you have the large theater on the left here main floor stage here open to the outside one of the comments was can we have a theater that opens exteriorly and perform to an outside audience both both teams don't allow that but from highlighting that here directly across once you're abandoned Coral rooms and their support spaces for those as well as bathrooms so again you can close off the wing here and just have this area open
065for theater Productions or anything like that directly across here is your kitchen and servery area and again from our last go around and from our visits we're making some tweaks to this but that could also function as concessions during uh a theater performance uh or any performance to the right you then have all your CTE focused on the first floor here and along this Corridor one of the comments we had was wanting to highlight that making that accessible not sticking at the back of the building again based on what CTS are going to provide we'll ship these around us because we use it maybe exterior access which ones can be an interior of the whole building there's only I think five educational spaces that don't have Windows every other educational space has a window worked
066very hard to try and Achieve that in this section between here you have gang restrooms elevator and stair for the core and then these are this is open area here so those boxes are like Gathering spaces for students that we saw in a lot of places where they can casually sit they might have a white board they might be in glass they might be a it can be a lot of different things they can also sit there and eat their lunch it allows you to flow and feel open as opposed to a box a box a box a box lined up um so that flows right into this open lobby area space you can circulate all the way around that core uh over here we have the Mid Valley room we have the main competition
067gym with seating on all four sides even though these two sides will be only seven eight nine rows the other ones are going to be like 24 to 26 ropes we'll have a stadium-like feel this is the athletic entrance uh athletic support athletic training office concessions storage athletic locker rooms and bathrooms and such behind here are the PE ones as you grow you can see we easily add the additional P lockers as needed and the field house over here to the right these are athletic spaces and these are P instruction spaces so these are all teaching stations I'm married to a feed teacher so these all count as PE stations for mandated B in state of Illinois front office of course is right up front here main entrance and Terrace and entrance into the theater
068all right and so just to clarify based on the comment we made about the third floor Support Services there'd be some credit located by our main yeah so there's there's actually two entrances so you'll see you'll come in the main entrance and you have to go into the little you know secure entrance into the office and be checked in before you can go anywhere else in the building but this entrance is split right here where that red is so a student that may not wants the other want other people seeing he or her getting some assistance can come in this way to both the office and then Social Work office more on this side so they can have a little bit of privacy separated out maybe even a meditation space things like that would be
069located in that kind of an area because things on the floor along this classroom spine let me just highlight you know looking at all the kind of Casual Furniture right like a lot of stuff all this throughout the goal would just be there's lots of places correct so this let me start here this this in in either scheme but uh this is a myriad of types of seating so these are some long tables of eight some tables of four some tables of six some rounds of eight some high tops some a few of them are fixed like outside perimeter areas the vast majority could be taken down so depending on what you use in that space for lunch instructional space meeting space overflow space for a presentation or if you wanted to bring in chairs
070and set up a mini black box theater type concept and do a small performance you could do that and then there's a storage room right over here designed to house all that stuff when you're not using it so it's not just pushed against the walls and what is messy has a place to go throughout here like the the this taper area on all floor levels there's meant to be casual seating one of the things we saw integrated into the to the edges of the open open Lobby space at New Trier for example so instead of having expensive glass railings everywhere they had they had them in a couple spots a little bit here a little bit there but then they have seating area is that were built into that which you know comfortable seating a
071little bit of Glass on the top they can still see you can still see everything going on with the functional and the other thing that they also integrated is is intentional on where they put trash and recycling throughout the building it's not just randomlying a couple spots in that in the kitchen or in the circuit area they have it all throughout the building because they're students and those buildings go anywhere they want to eat so they need anywhere to throw it okay when they're done so that's true in every spaces some of those are fixed they might be an open Cube or they might be a couple of glass boxes we've indicated a couple of those on each end as well that would open and hang over that Lobby space so you can see them
072going up and down then answer your question so second floor uh obviously the Large Gym spaces and such are two stories again we have wrestling it's the same components weight room and fitness over here open to the lobby below so they can get borrowed light into that space they would still have glass on this wall they would just start waist high and go up so they get natural light from that large lobby but when someone's down you'll probably be looking up no one's self-conscious and you're looking up at you while you're on an elliptical or whatever you only see the space and maybe the top of their head so they can see how they can gain natural light but people won't be staring up at them over here same concept here's the library open there's
073some group rooms here we're already adjusting to maximize more group rooms and minimize Stacks a little bit that's open to this main Corridor and balcony area outside the theater and open to below which is that lunch multi-purpose area there's we're still working on laying out all C2 that that will actually be a little bit smaller but the upper balcony of the theater over here we have art spaces we're looking at modifying this whole square right now to make it function a little bit more like what we saw at Maine Township which had a nice open feel to their Art Space very flexible um and very collaborative so those boxes within that envelope might shift around a little bit but they'll all be there wrestling over here we have a testing center was another thing that
074was very common what you see right here on the corner is that blocker bank which is similar on each floor there's a group of lockers it's open usually supervisable at the point of intersection not at far ends so wherever you're transpiring by the main transpiring stair and by the elevator all right in that area and then classroom Wing down each side and they are set up as Department areas like English just groups and areas social studies is grouped to Mary and math is grouped in area science has the fourth floor because they have larger lab spaces they also have Fume hoods and exhaust needs so why put them on the second floor and chase them all the way up the walls put them on the top floor they go right up the road much less
075expensive so that is second floor in general third floor now we don't have a cross quarter because now we're higher than the rest of the building so we have a little bit of space that we gained back again there's your locker Bank going up we started to lay out a few classroom Arrangements just to show how they would lay out there is that third floor Career Tech and social emotional Suite again first and third floor so you can go up or down and always have the opportunity for some assistance um moving your way up into the top floor is science which includes right now Greenhouse area out here with some green roof left out here some green roof left over here those areas that you could expand as you need more science labs both of
076the buildings are designed to be expandable so when you add classrooms on the curved one you can add on either end and underneath in this one it's intended that it in the back here you would pick up at a minimum four classrooms on each floor 16 total classrooms if there was any in for more you could actually go in both directions and have a cross-court or if you ever got to the point where you really needed that many more that's the plan here again are some of the snapshot images again don't get caught up in the colors we're just trying to trying to give you an idea what it might look like and I wasn't Illini so you got orange and blue there's what you'd look like from the parking lot this is the main
077entrance in the theater entrance live stage for the theaters on the left field house to the right if you're approaching straight on there's the principle being interviewed by CNN on the left for something good yeah I'm approaching the entry a little bit this can be an outside Terrace it's right off the lunch area can students would have the opportunity to maybe sit outside during good weather times in the fall and spring there's focused really on theatrical entrance to the left the main entrance to the right with the secure entry and then an identified athletic entrance and then in the video it's not the optional LED all flashing yes yep competition gym is that box field house is the other box so even there's something I think was appealing about this especially is in multiple entrances
078for multiple functions correct adding a sectional final basketball game yep wow with a theater production meetings with you know all that stuff with separate spaces and outdoor stuff right so I mean I think that we're going to read the direction and they're very clean and simple circulation plan too so with that we're looking for what we're looking for is is consensus from the board on which option you want to move forward with we're at the point where we need to transition and wrap up schematic design and move into what we call Design development which is another layer of detail that's when we start looking at actual Building Systems actual building structure how what's going to start going into each of the classrooms we're not doing the working drawings yet over here all those decision making
079processes and we really want to do that for one design it's not too so we're looking for consensus I think both Mr General and Mr fall can speak for the committee I think it was pretty much I think it was something I think the teachers for those administrators and others that are here I think the teachers for at the meeting as well please chime in what was most striking to me and if you look at the the first picture of each that you put up this academic Parts while front and center which was kind of one of the driving forces as that was being described to us it's great schools first look at this round thing to me it looks like it could be a hospital to me it looks like it could be an
080office building um but also the classrooms are separated then you have the field house behind it so you have this disjointed feeling the what is most appealing to me about the the cross thing you know he talks about the band and Mr strike had the most strong opinions by the way of everybody fully advocated for our arts department in every which way possible so we fully appreciate that um but you know it's like being open to four floors you can have the band playing on football Friday and you could hear that through the whole building based on the four floors being up and down the teachers are Central to everything no pun intended maybe pun intended I don't know um and so that was much more part of the the architecture of the whole building
081and the physical locations of all that versus it almost looks like the classroom section there's like a separate piece that was just like popped onto the front of the building um almost like a mix and match kind of thing so I that was what the teachers and Esther correct me if I'm wrong that was what the teachers were very strong about that it was also just a part of everything very different from my perspective the central core of the honestly it is a cross and not in multiple big sections put on top of each other we call it an airplane there you go yes what's the secret of my designer Mark what did you think I I thought I thought this design worked out and I think the reason why we chose it was to
082have the separation but yeah you know the way the way we're laid out when we saw it on the drawings it just floated foreign so just it looked a lot more pleasing you know from the street and I think as you move towards even when you mentioned the lunch time we get bigger I think we're gonna have to allow flexibility right to move around the building which we just don't have the spaces right now in our current building so we have the intentionality behind the first floor spine and other floors if we're being quiet respectful outside of classes that have teaching going on then there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to trust our kids to do that with exceptions when necessary we get that whatever number of kids in there but I think
083that design also from a supervision standpoint with both of those quarters right off the cafeteria versus otherwise you have a whole separation for that fourth four-story thing which you wouldn't have is you'd have to have more supervisory people in those hallways very different than standing in the middle of the spine and really having 360 degree view and just supporting that and also the educational standpoint the teachers seeing if this was a fail working people because they could collaborate effectively with this so listening to the teachers and there's teachers face designated on each one so they have places to collaborate outside of their classes and also I think we'd highly talked specifically to it wasn't like this is the English Department workspace it was just going to be common workspace to further facilitate kind of Engagement
084collaboration collaboration across across our subject teaching and all that stuff so one thing I would like to just go back real quickly because I said I would do this in the first floor plan there we are so right now this is a little fit you have a balcony that sits over you know about half of this it's going to be about a third so I talked about those rotating classrooms and we heard this from numerous administrators in those other buildings now we love our theater but we only use the next number of times and it's a big space it's great to have but it's it sits empty a lot of time Stevenson didn't have that problem because they can at least use those two classrooms and then the bigger theater still can be working on
085its production so the thought process was this you'll see and then that's one of the changes we're working on this right now you come in and you just go you know at Ada ramp I work your way all the way down to the bottom the thought process would be where that balcony comes in and it'll be at about the third point right here that will come in and have seats and then right under where that balcony ends we'll have a main intermediate aisle which is also a little better for circulation in general and then go back the rest of the way down get the energy aisle between the bottom of the balcony and the on the floor you're not going to be 40 feet like you are going to be in the main theater it'll
086probably be 14-ish feet give or take 12 to 14. then we can do is we can take that back area and divide that into three sections with acoustical panelized walls that have marker board tax surface instructional things on them and eighty percent of the time when you're not doing big theater production or running the theater Productions those can be lecture spaces meeting spaces co-teaching spaces each one of them will have to see how it lays out each one of them we would hope to have maybe 120 seats in each minimum so you have at least three full classes in in a shared lecture space which would be used much more often than just the theater and when you need the theater the walls will pull back and that's hit and we're not and they'll be
087easier to operate because we're only talking about you know not even as tall as this for those walls so we there I've been in ones where they had large walls and those are hard to maneuver and can get off track easier and acoustically yeah we can get a good STC radio and keep in mind while they're in each of those spaces um you're not doing your theater production so you're not not necessarily having a band and things like that the other thing you might want to consider which we need to talk about as we go through design development at Stevenson they do not have an orchestra day which is a hey I have to provide Ada access to that Orchestra pit which means a lift or it has to be close enough to the elevator
088and we don't have that right now um they their Orchestra sets up in a different space and they pipe the music in this technology is available to do it now where it wasn't 15 or 20 years ago wasn't quality it wasn't High Enough he said we've been doing that for years so something to think about we're accounted for enough for Mr kid right now because that was the request but you could say well I think a fair amount of dollars that could be applied somewhere else if we can make that work through the audio system how close quite frankly it could be almost anywhere you could literally I would just suggest they'd be in the band or right across the hall okay you know that's smart yeah you can actually probably get a few more
089seats or at least scrunch that up save a little square footage as well yeah so that's something else to consider again things we can accomplish that someone else is doing um that's part of why we do the facilities wouldn't have known that they do that had we not done that yeah much more use out of that space and quite frankly even if you don't use it initially when you're in the transition of adding those extra classrooms some days for instructional space in the inter room so you don't have to build a 20 classic edition that's where you build another building right so it gives you some flexibility are you looking for just I'm thinking anything I guess the question from the four of you who were not a part of this um any Poll for
090the four of you that would make you say ooh the other one that maybe wasn't or strong opinions either way about anything that you saw in option b which is what you go first okay if you want to look at it is there a way to split the screen specifically and to be fair I think if Mark and I have heard the teachers if I thought one thing and the teachers were like oh why do you think that's a silly perspective we're in the classroom yeah but it was administrators support staff uh you know Support Services people teachers I mean Athletics music everybody I think is close to unanimous is without officially taking a written vote as it could have been I think so if you consider the current high school and kind of the
091legs that it has to supervise versus something like this you can see the utility of this to be much more productive especially being out with shutdowns specific areas you were shut down the academic points and stuff and still functioning elements for athletics and finance and the parking would be designed enough elements only people yeah I think one of the cool things though is took what we're currently doing at the high school and over related to what these foreheads were so they could you know we can't do this today but we could do it tomorrow with the new design and I thought that was pretty profound and these two designs were like so strikingly different from what the initial like we're spitballing here this is I mean he's like which is exactly what it did and
092then we were able to come in and give you two very viable options and see which one held up and and we we weren't sure one was going to hold up you might have said hey I like this about this one I listen about that one and we would have had a hybrid but it seemed like everybody gravitated to this one I think that one just it really had the heartbeat being able to shut things down but being able to have that area that's fully collaborate fully future forward Banking and having to be a hub for a living to operate around is what everyone calls me to really love about it do you think in operations and maintenance we're on board with the two right yeah saying anything else from you I know you were
093at the meetings um administrators teachers this was definitely the the option of what's most favorable the consensus okay that's what you guys want this one I think I mean I think as Esther and I talked about this I think after last meeting too I mean I think you know in in some way it's our it's our job to uh to take it's our job to take some of the consensus from this committee that worked very very hard with a lot of extra hours for our staff especially I'll move out on the first day of school or second day of school I mean you know we we we we're working hard and I think that that consensus I think should probably be the information that we need as a board to support to support me we
094have to work there so absolutely right yeah it seems there's still a lot to tweak and play around with the general gist of it is going to hold true so excellent different design yeah it's weird things like yeah I know I was looking I was like what in the world but once you once you get the three the volumes it starts to feel a little different because it kind of flows like this across was Stevenson and the other ones like airplanes too helicopters so it's interesting but Stevenson was an atom so like they started with a really old building yeah in Prairie View and then when they got annexed into Lincolnshire that's when it explode explosions if you take those two leading schools new trigger is a very tight site so they've had to really
095work on going up and renovating what they have because they don't have a line that's why their field house is so half buried in the ground with no windows because they just have nowhere to go with it right so they been forced to do that in that envelope and it feels a little more cohesive than Stevenson Stevenson is so spread out so interesting the way they approach it because they have like a 10 million dollar maintenance budget every year so they can add almost every other year they're adding something where nutria kind of didn't do anything for a long time and then has over the last eight or ten years made all the changes in a tighter envelope it's just interesting to see how the buildings turned out with two different approaches for doing it
096because Stevenson had a lot of farmland [Music] student services flexible seating big open Commons and that's kind of the piece I think of all three of those schools we went to talk about they have beautiful schools they had budgets huge Renovations but they aren't able to to place things exactly where they want them because they're constricted by the space of the hand yeah [Applause] benefit S no I think it's important to have that Hub um it just feels like a lot of waste and space you know what I mean because it's like these two points and we get all this here and all that here it just seems like is that is the square footage is the same okay so even though it looks it's just the square footage is very very similar yeah I
097think you expand out or either way because it's an airplane how schools handle natural light coming into the building really changed the feel of what you were in as you walked around which changes your mood you know the back then you know you're not in this concrete box and you're not in space whereas I can tell you that like I'm very excited about the fact that this this core right here especially the amount of light can come straight down through kind of a a bigger area and then you've got light coming from the windows outside for those glasses but also as you walk in between classes of emotions that could be occurring that just natural Ambience is so much different than an article old school construction probably most of us were in villains like that
098at some point and it felt very different so I would say lighting is a big thing in both designs that is many classrooms with the opportunity for Windows or Playhouse the most contractors stay a few venues spend right yeah just to give you some width in the center of the Hub it's Square you asked about expansion so let's talk a little bit about that just so you know um this is obviously an area that you could expand off of you could make bandroots larger you can create space there if you need more receiving or more kitchen and needed to slide back but we're designing the kitchen for a core or three thousand so you should be good you could also if you wanted to you could expand this cafeteria space out I don't think you'll
099need to we're we're set up for at least 750 just in that space not counting in the Overflow in the bill adjust in that space But you could push the those entries out a little bit if you needed to obviously we can do a a four classroom Edition tapers back to a point or you could do a bigger one off the back of the building if you really actually needed more classrooms these are these these back walls are all expandable as well as this we've already talked about meeting debt and if you ever needed additional PE or support space you could expand in this direction as well I wouldn't come off the front of the buildings correct way to change that but going backwards and the intent on whatever site that you're on is that
100in the front we have maybe drop off and or visitor limited visitor parking the majority of the parking will be on the side in the back spanning between that and athletic fields so that they can double up and you're not putting parking lots everywhere trying to maximize and be efficient with the usage of the parking lots so there is expandability yes in both games but definitely investment so it's a football stadium depends on the site yeah in what we said right now we're anticipating it's to the to the top or they would be in that direction but depending on the site we might have to turn it one way it might be a little left or a little right but that's the intention span that distance with parking we'll share information regarding the park District's
101interest in purchasing nine acres of property adjacent to Burlington Park so some of the things as we continue to look at construction and use of the land that we have in maintaining our use probably large enough to prep an elementary school at some time and Is it feasible that we'd have an elementary here in talking to him you really need about 13 acres minimum uh Northern Kentucky Elementary School this is only 12. so it's really not even a feasible sight for us for an elementary school at some point so when we were talking with the village of Burlington and the Burlington Park District was present during the conversation we were talking about mowing and keeping up the land and some of those things for our you know the two events that they have here in
102Burlington we had addressed them we said you know was there any interest at all that you'd be maybe interested in purchasing you know land or anything like that in Arlington Park this room is definitely system in purchasing some of the land they're actually interested in nine acres of the property which would give them for a CD where about the football program is and the back side here just off of our property there's also an entryway that comes home to the room where they usually park it has to put in some gravel parking about a year or two ago we denied that they're still looking some other parking and grass and we have a lot I know I had a cheerleading coach ask me if they could you know possibly Park back there because they have
103young girls and kids in Wisconsin absolutely so they park there and they walk their kids go football for cheerleading so giving them the opportunity to purchase the nine acres I just wanted to bring it forward to see if there was interest in continuing to move forward with looking at them purchasing that trying to get some fuss on what the fair market value is for the nine acres that we have we would keep opportunity it's about 12 acres so we would give two to three acres that would provide us this property plus adding ads and parking and I'm talking to Dan Polly we talk about what we could use some additional parking here we're definitely the board meetings with some of the PD that we do here parking is definitely a challenge for us a lot
104of times we're parking down the main Corridor of the subdivision just across the street so it would allow us to build a parking space so we still have enough property to manage here still keep the district office about two or three acres it's less for our maintenance crew to try to keep up all of the mowing that they're doing so trying to kind of lessen the load for them as well for property that really isn't usable for us it's just some green space especially if Burlington Park District is interested in making that be more usable for the City of Burlington as well as many of our athletes across our district yes auction in a second is required to adjourn from Open Session and go into closed session yes vote Yes happy yes both yes pencil
