001I'm looking at Jennifer. Are we ready to roll? >> Okay, great. Uh we have four out of the five members here this morning. Um so we'll call the meeting to order and uh have a flag salute. Please stand if you're able. All right. Excellent. Uh item two on the agenda is a resolution for school facility study and survey. And uh for the camera here I have prop uh this is the uh study and survey from NAC. Is that correct? Yep. Architecture along with the CELA school district. Um the uh the entire PDF is available online if people are interested in looking at that. Um the action here is uh to uh approve the uh resolution 2025-18. Um and ju just quickly the purpose of the study and survey is so that if uh the CIA
002school district applies for um uh construction funds, capital funds, capital projects, uh we would get matched from the state. We're nowhere near proposing anything like that in the near future. Um but it was uh uh part of the cycle uh that the school district goes through to have this done this this last year. It's a very extensive study of all of the property um uh all of the uh parking lots, all of the facilities that the school district has along with kind of a survey of um what what the community needs are, what the population needs are. Um and uh it has just been completed. Uh and Kevin, do you want to add anything? Or Chris, do you want to add anything? >> This uh this is the end. not well I guess the end
003is maybe not the right word but this is part of our long range uh facility committee that was started a couple of years ago and uh at that time a study and survey was felt that may be needed in in order for the district to plan accordingly for the future. So at that time we are finishing up some other projects and that would have been the transportation facility and so uh we spoke with the architectural firm and asked them to to assist us in going through the study and and survey and so they decided to to do that. We applied for a grant from uh OSPI to cover the cost of this and and allow the architects to be compensated as they go through this work. And as you can tell, it's very thorough. Um,
004and it it is really a a good solid planning tool for school districts to do. And it it binds us to nothing uh to do in the future. If this is the start of discussions about something in the future, terrific. If it's not, it is a good inventory of information about our school district. um not just facilities but as you saw in there enrollment trends as well as there all kinds of different things. So I think it is a very healthy thing for school districts to do you can do it every six years uh some school districts do it religiously every six years some school districts only do it in prior to them thinking about improving their facilities. So Chris, anything to add? >> For our for our current construction um uh capital projects, uh
005we are not asking for state match on those. Is that correct? The athletic facility and the um uh uh uh Walter Ree um >> the C tech rep. >> Um we are eligible for state match for the CTE edition. >> We are. Okay, great. So, uh, just shy of a million dollars in state match money towards that project. >> So, the the other thing that I appreciate is that if you want to go through that large document page by page, you do have it. I send it to you electronically and get you a hard copy if you really want to too, but our architects done a board's summary for you about what's there. So, if that fits your need there, that's available as well. Uh, we will have it out on uh our website in
006our facilities. will make sure that people know it's there if they want to take a look at it. Um, and also not not attached to actually this resolution, but uh I also provided to you the long kind of a long range plan that's specific to the high school too. And so you were able to see some of the work that the architect did with specifics to the high school. So I think those are very important documents. uh we none of us may be in in the positions that we are in uh in regards to when a district would take uh upon the next steps to do these things. So I think it's important to have these uh memorialized and be able to be accessed to when other people in the future decide to to start
007making some decisions about the future of our facilities. >> Great. Uh I will move Oh, sorry. >> Just real quick. So Kevin, when we were talking earlier, um you mentioned that the state is looking or the state will look and decide if we actually need to upgrade the facility, right? Like it's run down enough that yeah, we need to give you money. Is there any way that the state can come in and say your facility is too far gone, we just need to start over. Can they dictate that? >> Not that I'm aware of. have never been involved in any construction project or preparing for any project where they just come in and say your facility needs to be completely demolished and put some other location. I've never been involved in that. What they do
008is based on you'll see if you go through there, they base it on, you know, how how bad it is in some type of a rank order. Um, and then what you should prepare for. Also, we've talked about that of preparing for things. If if the bond is not something that the district wants to go out and pursue, then there are some other capital projects that need to be taken care of in order to keep the facilities as functional. But again, I've never seen any school district get to the point of that the state just basically shuts your facilities down. >> All right. Uh, I will move that we uh the board of directors approve resolution 2025-18, the school facility study and survey as presented. Is there a second? >> Second it. >> Great. Are
009there any other comments or questions about the study survey? All right. All those in favor of approving the resolution signify with an I. >> I. All those opposed and abstain. Excellent. We'll move on to item three, which is the uh primary goal of I would say of our session this morning. Um which is us to uh find uh two junior student board representatives. Uh we'll be interviewing uh candidates this morning. Um and then we will uh deliberate I believe this morning as well. Uh and um uh welcome two new board members uh uh student voice board members. Um before we uh bring people in, we have copies of the questions in front of us that we're going to ask. So um make sure that we gather all these up at the end of the meeting
010and have them uh given to Kevin so that we can uh handle that material sensitively. Um and how did we do this last time? Did we take turns asking questions? Like there's seven questions. No, there's not. Yeah, there's seven questions. Do we go down the row? I don't remember how we did it. You think I did? Okay. >> I'm pretty sure you did. >> I think I did, too. Right. Okay. Yes, that's true. Move things along a little bit. All right. So, if that's all right, I'll I'll state the questions. >> Announce the ones we choose tonight today because last year what we did, we turned them in and then I think pulled in. >> Yeah. Kevin, Kevin and I or Kevin alone have been have brought the students in and had a quick conversation
011with them just to make sure that what they were signing up for they're still interested in doing and yeah so you'll go through the interview process you'll have some time to discuss and then of the three now three candidates then you will you will provide those names to Dan okay and then Dan will make a determination based on the what you're providing to him and then that will be provided to me and then hopefully by tomorrow sometime I'll go and meet individually with each of the candidates. You would another kind of housekeeping thing they would be notified they would not be formally seated on the board in their positions until the board meeting at the end of the month September board meeting >> and uh we have three candidates applying for two I I think
012we'd be more comfortable having it but for the students privacy and that sort of thing more comfortable with that. So, if we could pause for Oh. Uh, is there any I I think can we clock back in now? We go live again. Okay, great. So, um, we have had uh a terrific morning getting to meet some of the students at CIA High School, the the juniors uh that are applying to be student board representatives. Um we did that uh without the uh audio or video on because uh we wanted students to feel as comfortable as possible and um so that we could have a little conversation as well. Uh we have made uh our uh our rankings of those students and we'll be in contact with those students in the next few days to let
013them know what the decision is and to make sure that they're they're on board with the decision. Um but boy, what a it's always a a neat morning. I look forward to this morning um uh all week thinking about getting to know more students and it's always a very hopeful thing to see uh how articulate and bright and um how much our students care about their own education and their their education at at CILA as well and this morning did not disappoint. Uh great great to meet with those students. Uh is there uh move we're going to move on now to item four which is public comment. Is there anyone here who would like to make a public comment? Uh there is no executive session I believe necessary today. Uh no board communications that we
014have this morning. So as of uh right now just before 8 o'clock we will adjourn the meeting.
