001all right good afternoon I welcome all of you to the regular school board meeting of those of us who are part of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation Board of school trustees we start each of our meetings with Reflections from one of my colleagues and this evening it is Mr Grimes thanks Dr shed each time my name comes up for reflections two to three subjects always come to the front of my mind as possible topics the same was true this time but I was able to settle on the subject matter much quicker I've been in education for just over 30 years needless to say I've been witness to numerous changes over those years many of those changes have been in technology overhead projectors VHS laser discs film strips with the accompanying cassette blackboards and pull down
002maps are all things of the past even the outlooks and attitudes of students have changed through the shift from Gen Y Millennials to gen Z the igen group in spite of all the changes some things have remain the same or at least similar over the years in education in my opinion one of those things is that excellent teachers remain to be the backbone behind any excellent School Corporation I mean no disrespect to all bcsc leaders sitting in this room right now the administrators of all bcsc buildings school bus drivers custodians cafeteria workers IAS administrative assistants they all play a very vital role in helping to make the educational process for students as smooth and positive as possible but I do believe it is the connections and relationships being built between students and their teachers in
003the classroom on a daily basis where the real magic happens with the help of cea leadership and a few random principles I've compiled a few teacher testimonies regarding their love of teaching I'll start with Scott raber Parkside special ed entering his 39th year of teaching 36 with bcsc Mr Rayburn says that he knew by the fourth grade he wanted to be a teacher because of the caring teacher he had he says and I quote I've stayed in education for this many years because I love the children seeing their minds work and the light bulb that comes on when they finally get a concept such a rewarding profession knowing that over the years I've touched the lives of over 2 000 children hopefully giving them the knowledge and tools to succeed Deanna wenzler fourth grade at
004Richards 25 in her 25th Year all at Richards says I absolutely love teaching one of my greatest Joys is when students return year after year to keep me updated on their growth need help or guidance or simply just know I am here for them teaching them each day and watching them grow academically and socially is amazing I hope that when they leave my room they leave feeling loved safe and ready for the next year Angie gender sixth grade at Rock Creek in her 24th Year all of Rock Creek says I love teaching for so many reasons I love interacting with kids the most I love making learning fun and engaging for them and seeing their faces when they learn a new skill I love watching students work together encouraging each other I love creating a
005warm and inviting space where students feel safe and comfortable Carrie Tyree teaches a multi-age classroom at Taylorsville 27 years in bcsc 25 at Taylorsville says I love teaching because I love learning as an elementary teacher I get to enjoy teaching and a variety of topics teaching a variety of topics and subjects there is no greater reward than to see students make these those discoveries as they learn and grow it's also amazing when we build those relationships that highlight our educational journey together Clarissa white mass Science teacher at CSA Lincoln 12 years of teaching all at bcsc says I love teaching because of the experiences I get to share with kids every day there's nothing quite like students rising to the challenge and crushing it I believe that every child deserves to have an adult in
006their Corner who will fight for them and believe in them to be the best version of themselves possible and I hope to always be that teacher for my kids Elizabeth Bay's El Japanese language teacher at North 17 years in education says I love teaching because I love working with young people I enjoy getting to know them and being a part of their journey of self-discovery and growth Amy Ellsbury fifth grade at Rock Creek 30 years in bcsc 28 at Rock Creek says what I love about teaching and what has kept me in the profession are the kids I love helping them learn helping them set and Achieve goals and I love seeing their pride in their in their own accomplishments Jennifer Carroll in her ninth year of teaching all at Columbus East I love teaching
007young adults about literature and language the best part of teaching though is being able to build relationships with them and creating a classroom culture that provides an opportunity to learn from each other I learned as much from them as I hope they learn from me therefore enhancing our academic and personal experiences and lastly I'd like to end with the insight and wisdom of David glassing 8th grade math teacher at Northside 30 years in bcse all at Central and north side says when I meet people and they find out I'm a teacher they of course ask right away what grade and subject I teach it's rare to not have someone wrinkle their nose and make comments about how awkward Middle School gears are or they may make a comment about how math was by far their
008least favorite subject I try to flip that narrative I love the energy and excitement the middle school students bring I draw on their energy to make lessons fun and relevant there is nothing boring or predictable without teaching middle school students my students make my job new and different each and every day thank you oh thank you very much so it was great to hear all right as you are able if you would stand and join us for the Pledge of Allegiance foreign all right we are all here so we certainly have a quorum and I'll call this meeting to order we have on our screen and those of us sitting here have in front of us our corporation's vision and Mission you also see a listed our core beliefs all of which direct the decisions

015the robotics team 4926 Galactic for finishing runner up at the rainbow Rumble in Mason Michigan a couple of weekends ago and lastly a thank you accommodations to uh Josh Burnett and all others that are involved for putting out what I believe to be a very informative newsletter each week very good thank you thank you are there others I have a really General one I had a compliment from one of the parents um I saw a parent the other day where I work and if you just wanted me to know how much her son loves Richard's School so I want to give a shout out to the team at Richards and she loves parent Square too by the way so she wanted to give a shout out to that of course thank you heather all right
016I appreciate that so this is the opportunity for public comments and Mr Grow I don't have any curricular issues on our agenda this evening so uh given our policy comments have to be related to items on our agenda so with that I'll move on to the next School Board member reports thanks Dr shed the school Foundation last met August 9th uh just to two or three items of note the Reese Foundation is once again supplying bcsc teachers counselors administrators a hundred dollar Target gift cards so thank you to the Reeves Foundation uh also the board voted to approve 25 thousand dollars toward their matching obligation to donors choose and just a personal plug to any teachers out there listening I would encourage any teachers out there with creative ideas that might need funding to look
017into submitting their idea through donors choose um and then lastly uh Mrs Cunningham wanted me to mention that the school Foundation is hosting the special free event tea for teachers on September 24th a little ways off but it's uh limited seating I believe from three to five and a former teacher author and Fulbright scholar Skye Nicholson will be leading Stress Management activities while teachers enjoy tea and snacks big prize baskets will be handed out and teachers can register at bcsf stars.org oh and one more I'm sorry the uh High ability uh committee met the evening of August 18th to go over and start establishing a plan for program evaluation and the highability committee will be meeting each of the next four months as well to establish a mission statement and plans to continue moving forward
018in terms of assessment curriculum instruction and and how better to communicate the workings of the highability program here in bcsc okay that would be good to hear all right so see that look so for months I was encouraging all to support the Redevelopment extension of the sidewalk and purchase bricks and I'm happy to say that if you actually I'm sad to say if you haven't done that you're out of luck at this point so if you haven't been over there the construction is underway if you go to the farmers market you can see the new sidewalk it looks really great guys it's just the I think the downtown area is really turning around that's pretty exciting um and and I'm glad to see that our Empower program has gotten some recent press and I think
019that's going to be on the next Redevelopment commission agenda in a couple of weeks if people are looking to understand more about that and how the school system is working with Redevelopment that's a good opportunity to pop in on September 16th great thank you I will share with my colleagues and others that business advisory met on Friday the 19th we had a great discussion they got to meet our the new coordinators whom we approved at our last meeting for wellness and for diversity and those were great opportunities and discussions we also had a for this group it would be a second conversation about the future of our Corporation and the demographics of our Corporation and trying to think very strategically about how our buildings are organized and that was a very very healthy discussion I
020appreciated it a lot so it's now it's time for cabinet reports and I believe Dr Bozeman is up first foreign good evening Dr Roberts and board members my my uh information will be brief tonight unless you have questions and I have Greg Ferguson our project manager with us tonight and then several folks from Maxwell construction um to answer any questions you may have especially regarding market conditions in some of the some of the items that we're seeing here specific to the pride The Parkside renovation project this is a reminder this this is a little bit of a different process than what you're used to Maxwell as you recall we approved a contract with them to serve as our construction manager as Constructor back in February typically you're used to seeing and approving low bids lowest
021responsive bids on packages what you'll be approving tonight are considering to approve here in a bit would be a guaranteed maximum price a GMP for each of our projects this will be a portion of that GMP that I'll explain here in just a minute but just just want to review that with you a little bit because since you had agreed to Maxwell servings or CMC through the process the only approvals you'll have going forward would be those gmps and the amendments to those gmps rather than individual bidders in each of these categories but for the purposes of explaining where we are and then deleting some future funding that Mr Phillips will speak to we had taken 10 bid packages to um qualified bidders on the Parkside renovation project the numbers you have in front of
022you are making up the first GMP that you see total on the bottom and then an action item that you have to consider here in a bit will be a GMP for that amount just as a note there were actually three categories HVAC and plumbing were combined but combine those and site work and concrete in two separate bid packages they were above what our estimates were and after a lot of conversation and and consult we're going to rebid those here in the near future to see if we can get some better pricing on those items so the GMP that you'll see here in a bit will be for that total that you see on the bottom for the Parkside renovation but do expect there to be a couple of amendments to that as we re-bid
023those items that I mentioned at the bottom there um and we move throughout the project so a few notes on what we're seeing with this and again happy to answer questions that you may have inflation and marking conditions are certainly um putting some pressures and changing some things with what we're seeing here uh failed to explain the columns here a little bit just for reference and you have a hard copy in front of you but Maxwell's done a really good job of of estimating these projects by big category for us throughout the project and the estimates that you see there in the middle column that was as of just after the Fourth of July and we had open bids on August the 3rd of this so pretty quick turnaround between the most recent estimate so
024you see some of the volatility with what's going on with with marketing conditions here and as a district we've decided that because we do have some future capacity that Mr Phillips can speak to was we didn't really want to reduce the scope of the project and slice this thing back at Parkside to you know making not not the project that we think our teachers and kids deserve they're at Parkside Elementary and significantly reduce reduce scope so Mr Phillips you want to speak to the the bond issue a little bit your thanks Dr Bozeman so um you might have noticed that our we published a public notice of a project hearing for this evening two weeks ago probably just a handful of days prior to opening the bids for the Parkside project we Dr Bozeman and
025his staff maintain an ongoing list of of building facility needs that we would bond for we anticipated we have some debt rolling off next year we anticipated having some capacity to address some of those needs roofs HVAC systems that are continuously being maintained in a district of our size the number of buildings that we have after opening the bids and seeing how what we knew across not only the state but the country compared to a year ago when we when we issued the bonds to pay for these projects um you know we knew that that districts we were hearing from other districts that they were seeing conditions come through on bids that we're going to drive prices up and we were going to pay more than what we than what we wanted to pay we
026also know that with Esser dollars allowing for HVAC projects to be part of Esser spending that um the number of districts employing HVAC facility projects across the state and the country is just driving those prices up and it's one of the reasons that we've decided to wait and rebid that part of this project to see if we can get some more competitive pricing we decided to hold off on that project hearing for night for tonight and and move it to the next board meeting so that we have more time to evaluate this pricing plus project that forward for the the Schmidt portion portion of this project and the east north Athletic Facility improvements and so we'll bring you at the next meeting of the first meeting in September we'll hold the project hearing and have
027some more details for you on the spending at that time [Music] so just for clarification um so when you were at the previous slide you made the comment that HVAC site work and concrete they're not here at this time because the bid was way more than you anticipated so you've just explained HVAC but you're showing us bids that were higher than you anticipated so is this the priority of getting the work done the sequencing of getting the work done if you could just elaborate on why those three aren't there and these over what you estimated in July sure are there yeah great question so uh speaking specifically of each of the items that we will rebid HKC and plumbing that that amount was well over what our estimate was those are items that we we
028can re-bid here without tremendously risking delaying project and we're also going to reduce scope a little bit on that not anything that's going to drastically affect the building or quite frankly people that wouldn't even notice but there'll be some cost savings there so there'll be some read some drawings made to uh to change that scope a little bit the site work and concrete those were not slated that would be like the bus lot and new car line and some some Asphalt repaving in the parking lots that was not slated to happen until the summer of 23 anyways so we would rebid that probably later on this year or maybe maybe late winter but still stay on time for that to be done in the summer of 23 so it shouldn't delay all those other items
029we would we would be picking a pretty big gamble to be pushing the project off um and as you as you mentioned some of those are a little bit over but a couple of them are under two so all said and done they were they're pretty close How concerned are you if at all Maybe find that with the supply chain of and those kind of things I know that things are being put off you know what who should I ask this to okay Building Supplies drywall framing would those kind of things seem to be taking longer for people to get so I just wondered how that if you even know that I will introduce to you Jeff Linus from Maxwell construction I hate to have him drive all the way over here not have a
030chance to speak with you Jeff Linus with Maxwell to address that question there is major concern with the construction Market moving forward we're surprised daily with new things that we can or cannot get but we try to use our past information that we've been building for the past two years in these conditions and knowing what are long lead items and what are not one instance in your project is specific HVAC equipment that goes into classroom we had a pre-solicitation for that specific piece of equipment back a month and a half ago where we picked a vendor and then the school committed to making that order as part of this project is now in the HVAC cost or will be when we bring that forward but we do have some things that are rolling as we
031speak that are moving forward with that so for this project one of the other things we do we do a host bid interview with people and we try to identify what items or long lead items or not one particular thing on this one is the flooring and tile package one of the reasons we want to bring it here as part of this package is there is some time on ordering those materials but we don't have any indications that they're not going to meet the project schedule so as of right now everything can meet the schedule we presented but there may be some prizes surprises along the way that we will handle as construction managers we're working on another school project not to scare you but to tell you the magnitude of what's going on in
032this business we had a HVAC unit that goes through a shop drawing process that the engineers approve at a point and at that point the supplier knows exactly what parts and pieces they're putting on those Air Handlers we ordered it in February 2021 it has not re hit the job site yet I was scheduled to be there this summer and we just got word this week that the final parts and pieces are coming in so um we could have never predicted that even at the beginning of this summer but that's the reality of our business and our job is try to manage that but I feel good about the parts and pieces we have on this job that they should make the schedule fine thank you Could you um speak to the soft costs row
033there and it wasn't necessarily included in the estimate in July but but clearly it's a big chunk of of the bid totals today sure yeah the the estimates were just construction costs down down the middle there so that's why you don't see a soft cost estimate the soft costs include anything from how much we pay Maxwell to be the construction manager how much we pay CSO as the as a lead architect all of our contingencies are there all of our allowances by each each of these big categories have allowances built into that um um any retainages we have so that's that's all reflective of that first GMP so as those amendments come there'll be soft costs that um are not to that number but they'll be a line item for soft costs within that GMP
034that you see as amendments coming ahead also and you did a Bottoms Up calculation of that or is that like a percentage of the total estimate how do you estimate those well yes yes to both those questions um some of them are flat rates others are percentages of the total cost so for example we'll pay Maxwell pre-construction fee that's flat we also pay them a two percent um overall construction fee that's contingent on how much money is spent obviously all right other question not to go terribly deep but could you just two of the biggest swings that interested me were countertops dropping by so much and then Framing and drywall going up by so much what is there an interesting story there no particular interesting story um it's just where you get into the big
035categories and and you have different suppliers that may be more interested in the work or not what we found um was I can speak specifically to Framing and drywall where some of the scope got expanded just a little bit when the final documents came out but we had I think two bidders in that category and it wasn't a straightforward production job we've got a lot of bulkheads a lot of small portion walls and the marketplace pricing came back quite higher than what we estimated and I think that was given just coming off a busy construction period and people in the business analyzing this project and and what their cost to do it is was different than our estimate I can speak to that and on on the electrical package I didn't ask about that but
036there was a little bit of scope expansion from our estimate to this total and the result of adding some fire alarm work and so there was some scope that was increased from our budget to this and as part of our process we're looking through that and making sure we vet out from that price if anything else can be value engineered from that point so I speak to those two overruns and then just also real quick remind us we Dr Boseman has given us a lot of information about construction manager as contractor and what it means when we get a GMP but could you refresh our memories about what a GNP means and what it doesn't mean going forward to these line items so this is an amendment to the original contract that will set the
037guaranteed maximum price for this scope of work with the set of documents and specifications that are provided so that right there is the guaranteed maximum price for the scope of work that are on the documents and then the specifications also add one more piece since we're new to the CMC environment with the school board one of the advantages that I feel like this process has given us is on the Contracting side is the ability to talk to the industry and decide on some of these other packages to re-bed I can speak specifically to the site work package over two bidders and in conversation with one of those two bidders and then a couple of the people that didn't bid they were uncomfortable trying to hold some of their asphalt oil pricing into next spring kind
038of a guess for them and so I think the pricing reflected that and so as part of this process we're able to say okay let's take those comments back talk is a group and find out what's best since we're doing the work next summer anyways I think the current plan is to bid it out sometime to where next spring and they can get closer to the pricing and so some of those things behind the scenes That You Don't See of some of the packages that were pulled out we have done a lot of talking and discussions on why some of those things didn't hit the hit the estimates that we have and we have a chance to affected by recommending you to reject the bids or reject them and re-bid and we can try to
039tweak those comments and and come back to you with better numbers when that thing rebids thank you another question thank you very much for the presentation and answering our questions it's a reminder to the board with that information just that has been just shared it is an approval item under letter I when we get to the consent agenda items so that dollar amount that's on the screen will be the guaranteed maximum price that's listed under that the next item on our agenda is let me bump right back up to before Dr Bozeman's presentation that a lot of days for e-learning we're treating this as kind of a first reading for a calendar so as you're all aware anytime we tackle our calendar we put it out twice a first reading and then a second one
040to approve uh this is a relatively minor one in that it doesn't change obviously our start date we're already here doesn't change any of our leave days so or vacation days out of school days it doesn't change the PD days that you've already approved it doesn't change the end day of the year doesn't change any of the teacher work or or record days it's simply adjusts the way that we make up days so as a board we not too long ago approved five inclement weather days that we would make up e-learning wise and then make up all the other days outside of that at the end of the school year specifically or on Good Friday would be the other opportunity we have um because of recent changes in legislation that said that e-learning days a
041maximum of three would be counted for instructional days unless you were doing those in a synchronous Manner and synchronous would indicate that at least 51 percent of your students were spending at least 51 percent of their day in a synchronous environment which means that they'd be interacting directly with their teacher during that time so um you know a teacher assigning work to do and a student working on that for a few hours if the teacher is not face to face virtually with them would not be counting during that time and for a variety of reasons we see that as a real challenge to be able to certify that we are 51 percent synchronous from a student number standpoint and a Time standpoint during the day that we are just going to follow we're recommending to
042you that we follow legislation which is to approve up to three days for e-learning that we could use as a makeup day for having to be out for typically inclement weather and adjust that number from five to three in the calendar so the only recommended adjustment to you is that the number five becomes a three under the inclement weather piece of our calendar at this point in time so that's just the information I wanted to share from a lot of days would take any questions on that topic at this point so to clarify it would be proclaimed an e-learning day the same day you're telling us buses aren't going that's correct so if sometime in January we have a day that that morning we decide that it's the conditions are not good to to go
043to school and we call a day off we would announce that we're having an e-learning day and we could do that three times after the third time of declaring an e-learning day in the other day that we would have for inclement weather we would make up on a day that's available to us on our calendar okay physically and just from family perspectives we would be able to announce that at a in a reasonable amount of time that fourth or subsequent yeah as best we can right um but at least with parents knowing that anytime we have a snow day at least these first three that it's going to be handled that way they they hopefully are prepared to adjust last year we used two and we were fortunate enough that in each of those cases
044we just had bad weather so um and enough bad weather that we made the decision even the evening before for those two days we had that's not typically the case typically it is running the roads at four o'clock in the morning and making the call sometime by 5 15 5 30 and going from there but um we will make the call as early as we possibly can but it is three instead of five which has been in the calendar that we are recommending well I'll ask you to vote on this at the next board meeting okay there are other questions clarification people need yes just from every sort how long has it been since we've went past three days it's been a bit um and it's there's some complications with that or some interesting pieces
045with that with covet and so forth maybe impacting that a little bit um maybe 2 000 is off top of my head just maybe 2018 or 19. uh what once and this is just from a history of of doing this and thinking about numbers uh over a period of time but in the past once this school corporations across the state started getting Beyond five days the Department of Education began to think about providing waivers I don't know that's the case now because the learning days are available for a few days and so forth I don't know what that would look like today um when when numbers would start to get that high but but the Department of Education has considered waivers of days once the number has risen too high and typically that's been around
046five to seven that that conversation has started at the Department of Education we will move on then to the items for request for approval all right so my items uh are will be on the screen and you have information in your packet about each of these so um just going through the list minutes of the regular school board meeting of August 8th that was our first one of this month a list of supplemental contracts provided to you and field trips additionally we had a set of claims dated today of uh just about eight hundred thousand dollars and payroll from July 30th to August the 12th that was about 2.4 a little over 2.4 million dollars we also have three different Grant applications for your approval from Mr Edwards Title One Part D title three part
047A and non-english speaking program or nesp that's from the first two are federal the third one is from the state of Indiana letter H is an agreement with the Columbus Auto Group uh we are entering into an agreement with the Columbus Auto Group for it to be The Exclusive Auto Sales and Service Advertiser for our school corporation um and so we're we if approved we'll have some more public announcements of that as this week goes by particularly with being East North rivalry week there are some opportunities naturally for us to talk about that more and then Dr Bozeman went through the presentation on the guaranteed maximum price so also asking for your approval of the guaranteed maximum price and we are able to answer any questions after you do the motion a second on those
048items all right so I will entertain a motion to approve items three a true I as they're presented to us so move thank you Mr Brian is there a second thank you Mr Grimes so there's several things here are there questions individuals have about any of these items Dr yes so Dr Roberts when you say um exclusive the agreement with the Columbus Auto Group exactly what yeah exactly and I'll ask um Mr Phillips or or Josh Burnett to add to this if they have extra extra information but basically it is exactly that word in terms of if we're going to put advertisement advertising up in one of our complexes that is is an auto sales or service one it's going to be the Columbus Auto Group so the dollars that they are providing to us
049over the next six years have placed them in that that situation where they from an athletic standpoint specifically and the dollars they'll be giving to us are going to our athletic programs Elementary each building and to each of our secondary schools middle and high school those dollars are guaranteeing them that exclusive right to advertise with us cheers so one hundred thousand dollars over a period of six years it's also printed advertisement right yes okay you originally said digital but oh did I say that okay yeah I just want to be sure it's even in print programming that we might something in the programs it's very similar to the agreement we've had with crh for it's probably 12 or 15 years now they are the exclusive health care Advertiser in all of our secondary facilities in
050exchange they provide athletic Trainers for us and have have for years so we've modeled it after that but slightly different in that they're just writing us a check each year for the next six years go ahead and did that help is it thank you sure welcome other questions the way I read it this this would have no impact on where we actually purchase vehicles or parts or where we get our Corporation Vehicles serviced yeah great question Mr it does not have any impact on that it's just allowing excuse me allowing the Columbus Auto Group to be that Advertiser to have their name out there in front of people that we work with and Josh I don't want to speak for you but they made it very clear we've been talking with Leo portaluvian and Fred
051Armstrong over there for about a year about this agreement and they made it very clear from the beginning they don't care if we ever purchase a vehicle from them or not they want to partner with bcse um and and really help our facilities in our athletic programs will they donate like equipment and cars to our C4 Automotive we should but I believe they are interested in doing some other in-kind things but from a extra dollar situation we'll probably not be asking them for a lot of extra dollars in other situations but they are interested in doing some in-kind work with us as a School Corporation doing you know that would be kind of a an internship or some yeah opportunity sure job share or something so I'm sure Dr hack is taking no yes looking
