005have 2.01 uh srsn market value assets Dr Bailey Dr granted would you like to um while Dr Bailey and Dr Gran are making their way up uh as the board knows this is uh now the I believe the fourth in a series of opportunities that we have taken to speak to the board about our success ready student Network initiative uh and part of the work that uh that we are doing uh on behalf of our kids uh and aligned uh very U very well with our strategic plans so very excited to have Dr Bailey and Dr Grana come up and talk about market value assets uh again I want to make sure uh for the board that some of this that you will see will be information that you have seen before we're taking every

006opportunity that we can to reinforce uh the information to make sure uh not only the board but our community sees this information in a very open and transparent manner um and then uh Dr Bailey and Dr Gran will make sure that they point out what are the new items specifically as they relate to market value assets Dr Bailey Dr gr yeah good evening to the board and to our community you have seen us bits and pieces of this presentation before and like Dr Ric shared we are um trying to maintain um consistency and transparency um with the success ready student Network so as you can see here this work aligns with our vision and our mission and our strategic plan and as you've seen before um the srsn is a collaboration of districts across the

007state of Missouri our goal is to ensure that our students are high school college career and workplace ready we also want to ensure that our classrooms are equipped um that are centered around our students and their learning and providing that personalized learning experience our why and I would add um two words here um are to be responsible and thoughtful as we design a better way for each student to engage in meaningful learning um and demonstrate individual growth and prepare for future success uh responsible in that we want to make sure that we are navigating Based on data that we um have students at the center of our work that we're listening to our teachers and our staff and most importantly that we're listening to our students as we move forward and our vision here as

008we've shared is to create meaningful um a meaningful accountability system for our students actionable for our teachers as the map is often given um in a delayed format and it's not not allowing our teachers to um take action on that data make it personalized for each student and meaningful for our parents as well and the purpose of our presentation tonight is to really dig into what market value assets look like and Dr Bailey will share more about that thank you very much so one of the things that we've shown the board is this particular slide and shown our community and our teachers as well that the market value Asset is a term you will hear us use a lot um it is something that is a term that we adopted from the Kansas City area

009and again a market value asset is a Cornerstone experience that prepares a student for future learning and employment so there provides multiple opportunities for students to just kind of see how their education can be applied in the real world this evening we really want to take a deeper dive into market value assets and in some cases you'll hear us talk a little bit about what could be not what is in place just setting that stage and then also just the different types of market value assets that are out there uh the beauty of a market value Asset piece is there is a Continuum and there are opportunities for us to look at multiple Pathways that students can take to get a market value Asset but the Continuum of experiences that we look at for a

010market value Asset are for students to explore really look at an awareness uh of what careers are out there what job opportunities are out there what skills they may need for the careers they're interested in um and look at different workplace opportunities that are available and then the engaging part how can we apply some of that learning that students are digging into how can they get some of those real world experiences how can they get what's called a client connection project or an entrepreneurial project or different uh Pathways again for them to engage and then what the The Next Step really up is how do you then immerse them in that how do we perform authentic work um and create authentic work environments for our students to really feel what it is to be in

011a profession that they're looking at or to feel what those opportunities are for example there's internships or apprenticeships so we're going to take a deeper dive on the different kinds of market value assets and so this is kind of the six that we would Center a lot of our work around on a market value Asset and you'll see there's a bit of different opportunities for for students that are on here so when we look at early college or dual credit or AP courses those all kind of fall under college credit opportunities that are there a client connected project will describe a little bit uh more and I apologize if I Stumble every time I say it it feels like I'm stuttering when I'm going through uh internships and apprenticeships are very similar but we'll talk

012about the difference that's there for our students uh industry credentials we'll take a deeper dive into that as well and then entrepreneurial experiences so tonight's the spelling be on all these words and how we can make sure that everything is there so I will uh try my best to pronounce them all correctly but so one of the things that we do very very well in Kirkwood is we have uh a lot of students who are already accessing Early College dual credit AP courses and getting a lot of college credit it's not uncommon for students to graduate from Kirkwood High School sometimes a year or more already in terms of advancement with college credit um what many may not know is that we have an early college program where we already have students who currently uh

013go to Kirkwood that apply to be a part of the Early College their Junior and Senior year is spent full-time at the St Louis Community College marac the outcome that we intend is that students earn both an assoc a high school diploma and an associates degree in those two years and the last school year was the first year that we had kind of that full cycle of students that were able to do that um we currently have 30 students that participate um on that some of the downsides they don't get a typical high school experience because they're getting a college experience uh they do have to meet those college entrance requirements so they have to take the acup Placer and have either an ACT score or GPA that they can pair with the acup Placer

014and for those that don't know the acup Placer is a math and uh reading placement test that the community college requires students to take the goal really is to take 15 credit hours per semester earn a diploma in the associates degree however we do have some students that take that a step further and are getting things like EMT certification or their Pathway to being an RN is already established um some students are already a year or two years in I will say one of the challenges is that if we have a student who wants to participate in sports they typically still have to take one class with us on campus to meet minimum Misha credit requirements uh but for a lot of students that's an elective class like band or art class or something to

015that effect uh we do accept the credits that come on um from there and the students have done very very well we've had really good success um for some students and it's a safe space for them to try a college class out with college professors and we have one of our High School uh College and Career counselors that serves as a liaison between the two we also have lots and lots I I well over half of our students are in some to type of dual credit or AP course um in some districts if a market value Asset goal for dual credit or AP is to get nine hours total I will tell you that we have a significant number of graduates that come out with nine credit hours or more um for for college so

016when we're looking at these market value assets the very first one that's there we do very very well um in Kirkwood and have a large number of students that already have these pieces in place next we'll look at what a client connected project is and so a client connected project is where employers or businesses identify a project or a problem that a student or group of students could take on or help problem solve so for example there may be a water runoff issue or there may have been an issue with a field at Kirkwood High School getting too much drainage and never drying out for things or there may be opportunities for us to look at um you know projects that need to be completed with with different banners or different things that are out

017there um with a lot of the road work that's coming I know there's probably opportunities for traffic studies or engineering pieces a lot of you guys will see facilities planning as well lots of different projects that are available that could be put out there for students the students then develop a plan so they identify the project or the problem and then potential Solutions and then they really set goals timelines expectations regarding that project and develop a project plan to present and review with the business or the organization um or whoever is putting that that piece out there students engage in multiple hours of project work um and the the initial goal is at least four meetings with the business is kind of a kickoff what's the problem solving piece uh to check-in meetings during that

018time to let the business or the client know how well they're doing and then final presentation I will tell you that the end goal is not necessarily that they have generated a legitimate solution that gets put into place but part of the learning is if they're not going down that route their connection with the business can steer them back towards something that direction um but a lot of the students that we have talked to in different districts that take part in this thoroughly enjoy their experience and often come out with uh just a new lens to look at problems that other people haven't looked at yet or just new energy to devote to a very specific issue that a business may be experiencing um and can put a ton of time and energy into that

019and it can be more than one student they can develop some uh group work that are that are centered around it as well so I I shared this before and reason why I said water runoff is I keep bringing up because I'm just still so impressed by it that one of our meetings with a different District students had to leave because they're meeting with the city engineer to talk about a water runoff off issue in one of their one of their Parks the other thing about a client connected project is the the problems that they're solving will literally change every year because um they're just identifying new things that are out there so that's not an example of where we have a set curriculum where every student is working on how do we land something

020on the moon for example it's nope this is a real problem that we're looking at solving if we get it solved we identify new problems each time we go through so every student's experience may look a little different regarding that an internship is what it sounds like kind of our experience with internship students will perform meaningful job task at a work site or approved location under the guidance of a professional in the field it really can involve authentic work experiences uh we currently do have a work experience program that is through Special School District where students go offsite and they're able to get some of those experiences now even through job training and support so when we look at a market value Asset and setting a goal for every student to have that even our

021students with significant disabilities would have an opportunity to earn a market value Asset through some of the career training programs that are currently available uh development of relationships with potential inter internship sites is needed uh because you want to have students kind of have that flow in and flow out of what's there and when you look at kind of the graphic that's down there you really want to match an internship with the students's interest and what their aptitude or goals are and what an employer's interest is and what their goals are because there's not going to be a teacher on site you want a student to be able to fit into the culture that's there you want that supervisor to be aware of and be able to work with students uh but recognize that they're

022still a business and they still have to make money and they still have to employ people um and so we have to have the right fit have to have the right fit uh with that so the internship piece there are opportunities to coordinate what sites could be present we do have some students that are currently in our business programs that do some internship pieces at the high school now apprenticeship sounds very much like an internship except apprenticeships can be paid an apprenticeship is usually focusing uh their training on a very specific job instead of seeing or experiencing multiple jobs so I I look at it as if a student is interested in construction but they're not sure what they're interested in they might get a taste of Framing and plumbing and electrical with an internship

023but an apprenticeship they've decided they want to be an electrician so they're f following the electricians all throughout and seeing how the houses are wired um there are some rules that govern apprenticeships um and there's a guidance that comes from the Missouri Department of Labor there are things called registered youth apprenticeship programs and lots of schools have already done this and so there's lots of opportunities for us to make connections uh with those districts that have these registered youth apprenticeship programs um and have provided those opportunities for our students next is something that is current currently been available uh not just in Kirkwood but across multiple districts in the state it's called an industry recognized credential and So desie currently approves irc's industry recognized credentials they're portable credentials that can validate an individual successfully demonstrated

024a skill so in culinary arts for example there's a Safe Serve industry recognized credential that basically shows they know how to do proper uh sanitizing proper knife skills proper cooking techniques that they could go take that to a restaurant and say I'm Safe Serve certified um there's another one from Microsoft for example where you can get Microsoft certified if you are able to pass tests in Excel word access and uh PowerPoint so you can use that as a credentialing if you think of badges or you think of other things is definitely a Resume Builder for students and something that is not just a high school uh credential but really is a credential that you can take um to any job that that it aligns with there's also something called stackable credentials what I just described

025for Microsoft would be considered a stackable credential because you could get word then Excel then access and stack those up um versus some of the others that are more of a single credential but in a broader area like the Safe Serve credentialing so this is something that's been available for several years um and desie does uh provide the guidance for what an industry recognized credential could be and provide some of the assessments that students could take um and the guide that goes along with it is is 20 30 40 pages long with different credentialing opportunities that are out there in lots of different fields architecture design engineering electrical Automotive you think of it there's probably a credentialing uh piece that's out there and then an entrepreneurial experience that is where a students identify a problem

026that exists in the world and they create a coherent project so the main difference between this and a client connected project is that in a client connected project the business or the uh organization is driving the problem identification in an entrepreneur preneurial experience that one's going to be tough the students are driving the problem identification um but they can't just pick a problem randomly randomly out there they have to develop a plan to address that problem and identify who they need to connect with to look at that problem so if students were looking at ways that they could improve electrical efficiency and they want to study solar and they want to look at different opportunities the folks behind us could be very good connections when it comes to you know building Architects or Engineers or

027designers about solar panels or solar opportunities so students usually uh are able to make those connections but they tend to connect with a mentor in the problem field it could include starting a business we met students when we were visiting other schools that started um embroidery businesses that had started some some lawn Ming businesses um it doesn't have to because sometimes people think if you're an entrepreneur you're always starting a business really it's uh problem solving what problems are we looking to solve and what opportunities are out there um and then developing what those experiences could look like based on those problem solving pieces so at the end of the day what we think about when we're looking at why would we even think about a market value Asset or what does this add for

028our students I really like this graphic because it makes you think these are resum worthy student opportunities and student outgrowths and we say resumé worthy not just for college application resume but for job application resume for future job applications for opportunities that are out there students can get for example python certification and computer coding C++ in in those pieces can get some of the first stackable credentials in getting an a registered nurse certification so lots of different things that could be there also the students then are in an adult setting in a workplace environment and some of the outgrowths that we've seen research on help students communicate clearly help students learn to communicate in complex situations um if you think about their pathway through school the majority of people that are surrounding them are their

029age their generation kind of grew up with them but in the workplace there may be people that are 10 15 20 30 years older than them and they have to learn to adjust and navigate that there's also opportunities for students to plan and man manage projects um and envisioning and expressing the steps needed can really help Focus their energy that's on there collaboration is extremely important also being proactive and being uh really considerate of their time management kind of that perseverance or that grit working through a difficult situation and then researching and refining plans um you know students might seek in external inputs to really tie some of the pieces together but really building out what plans they have and what opportun that are out there so what I really want to emphasize is these

030are all of the what ifs or the what could bees not that we have to have pieces like this in place um and not that we would be in a huge rush to say let's do this next year um a lot of the districts that we talk to and have implemented a big market value Asset push it was a two threeyear roll out for them to be very intentional about creating opportunities for students developing Partnerships and relationships with various businesses various organizations so that they knew that their students were going to the right places um we talked to Washington school district and they did a pilot with about eight or 10 businesses and they really refined their processes for selecting that really refined their processes as a district for supporting the students and for supporting

031the businesses and it went so well that most recently they had over 180 businesses expressed interest in taking part in in that um and so when you think of homegrown talent and developing opport opportunities this really is an opportunity for us uh but it will take significant input from teachers from students from community members from Chamber of Commerce members um to really Drive what opportunities are available uh but we wanted the board and we wanted the public to see what could be when it comes to some of the market value assets and also just as a reminder to see what we already have in place when it comes to some of the experiences that our students have in our schools so as we continue with this work we're looking at these personalized Competency Based learning

032mindset as well and if you look at the next slide you'll see that we have circled mindset this is not a model this is not um a program that we are adopting we are um relying on the feedback from our community from our students from our teachers um from our staff to design what this looks like moving forward in the Kirkwood School District you can see here we have gathered feedback and input from our administrative team on those Competency Based um learning mindsets and we have work that is already going on in our district that is tightly aligned to the Strategic plan and the work that we are doing in the buildings already we put together a road map of this work this is a two-way street uh as you can see we start with

033communication and engagement with our students teachers staff and Community uh we're looking at establishing because we know that some of our buildings are in different places with the PLC work and enhancing those professional learning communities um through professional development and as we've shared before we are looking at teacher Clarity and student Clarity around what students should know and be able to do and we're also talking about um student agency or students in charge of their learning um we are going to design these proficiency skills which are based on the Missouri um priority standards um and helping with that Clarity piece and then as Dr Bailey shared we have have so many incredible opportunities to look at some of these real um world learning experiences which we're already doing but how do we expand upon those

034um and provide opportunities for as many students as possible in our district and then last pending that Federal waiver and approval uh we would implement the redesigned um State assessment and we would no longer take the map assessment so uh I explained that kind of that last point in three parts um the Board of Education needs to sign that waiver then we would get the state waiver that would be signed and we would be um removed from the APR um accountability piece and then the third um part of that is the federal waiver as well and that is one that we know a little less about um in regards to when that will be approved and for Mr Boo as you had asked what what do we do if um in a couple of previous

035meetings you asked what do we do if we want to step away from the srsn there is an exiton ramp uh they're off of the road map we can't get back into the srsn work if we decide that we don't want to participate but it is an option at any time um for the district to step away from the work if it's not right for us so as we continue on we are constantly listening to our district um leaders and building administrators uh getting their feedback and meeting with them regularly um we have the district committees that are listed here tomorrow Dr Bailey and I will be presenting and working with the educational Equity task force committee as they meet as well and then teacher voice we met with Westchester last week I believe uh

036we just came from knifer and met with them as well uh at their faculty meeting this afternoon we shared the srsn work that we have presented um in front of the board and to the community and we are asking three questions one is what are we currently doing that aligns with the srsn work in our buildings um what question and what Clarity do you need about the srsn work and if you are excited and would like to engage in this work as we move forward we will be creating some type of committee um that will help grow this work as we move forward not only with our teachers and staff but obviously with the community as well and then professional development will be at the heart of this work we know that we are implementing

037plc's um and keeping that work going and that is a lot of work we are interested in going um on site visits as we've shared previously and and then learning about Competency Based learning as well that teacher Clarity student Clarity learning learner agency building those proficiency skills as well and then um as we spoke about tonight the market value assets learning more about um what that work looks like also so at this time if if you have questions we are happy to answer them to the best of our ability so before we uh turn it over to uh president shurn again thank you Dr grer Dr Bailey for this information um a couple of things one I want to make sure that we add is we are also that the same presentation that has been

038is being done for our staff and our and our faculty um will be done with our with my student Advisory Group and uh and those three questions those same questions will be asked of the student Advisory Group so I'm very much looking forward to that later this month um the other thing I want to make sure that we that we do and we say is and I think it was you miss Pangborn that made the uh asked the question last time we were together okay what does this tangibly look like what is a goal that we would look at and say okay we're we're we're implementing srsn I think I remember that correctly was you um an example I would give um uh Dr Bailey and Dr granon not to put you too much on

039the spot but I think an example that would fit that question from Miss Pangborn would be what percentage of our graduates would we hope would graduate with a market value Asset I know you mentioned uh Dr baay you mentioned that uh you know our our our special education students uh will have those opportunities uh for any any number of these categories um but I think that would be a great example of of setting signposts for us moving forward on percentages of our students that we would expect to have a market value Asset uh personally I would say 100% And so when I say that it's because there are so many different Pathways that students can take between either earning college credit or getting a supervised job experience or experiencing um you know even our students

040with significant special needs that would get some job training with with adult support there are opport in fact they probably have had more market value Asset opportunities in the last 20 years than some of our other students because these programs have been in place uh but if you look at the different Pathways that we have for students if students are just saying you know what I just want to take my 24 credits and just want to graduate through Those portions if you guys remember us talking I'm going to go to this slide right here if you look at these eight Competency Based learning mindset pieces number eight really those real world learning experiences even in a class we can build in some market value Asset opportunities for students to experience in personal finance for example

041in culinary arts in uh facts classes in business classes in science classes whatever those may be um and part of that is providing those pieces we don't necessarily have to think of a market value Asset pathway is this other thing that kids are doing on top of their 24 credits it truly could be embedded at knifer I use the example because on the eclipse day I was subbing in an art room for example um and in there one of the projects was they they were developing some school spirit logos and and uh banners and different things for knifer well that is a real world experience market value Asset opportunity and graphic design and management in publication um so we can tie those pieces in when we look at some of the school districts that have

042really taken this an extra step they've even added some incentives where they're creating things they call a diploma plus program student earns typical credits plus one market value Asset or diploma at Advance student earns typical credits plus two market value assets or there are some of these Badges of opportunities that you can look at um and create out there for our students but really when you start just drilling down the different Pathways that we could take I don't see why we wouldn't be able to provide every student at least with an opportunity to pursue a market value Asset start to my right with questions Miss Motika thank you again for all this information um a couple of questions with the um early college program where they are at probably miramac or wh do they pay

043tuition uh the district actually pays the district okay cool and then um with the client connected project The intership Internship see I'm struggling and there's one word I I'm not even going to try and say apprenticeship and Industry credentials who oversees those activities is there a a a teacher or a class that this stuff is connected with do they get credit great question so the current opportunities that we have if there's an industry recognized credential or an internship or apprenticeship that is typically through some of their coursework um that our our teachers like our business teachers May currently supervise I will tell you however in some other districts they have added some roles that are specific to um Choice programs for example or specific to uh developing the Partnerships to have internship experiences so um

044I would say that that is something that we would need to continue to explore throughout this because it could be a variety of answers depending on U which Pathways we really settle on but the industry credential that typically comes through almost like the end of course exam process typically would come through the class that they're taking and they could take it in class because most of them are are computer-based um and that is a part of our CTE programming in a lot of cases the others if we don't already have an established relationship that that um have some of those internships for our business students for example working uh we we would look at who is managing that one thing we haven't talked about is what kind of credit students are getting uh are they

045getting elective credit there are credit opportunities for these programs as well um and so those pieces I think are are reasons why districts have taken two or three years to really build out their full blown program for it so okay thank thank you and then um as you were talking about all of this um one of my kids who graduated decades ago he worked at dwi's all through high school and went on to college and got a degree similar to that and is now back with J's as a manager is that something that would fit in with all of this so he could have like sure woulded for that well actually you can get credit for that it's called a school Flex program and you could get elective credit for a certain number of hours

046that you're working um in a field that is related to potential future opportunities now we're very liberal with what can connect like I worked at McDonald's in high school had I been interested in anything either business or culinary you could attach that I don't think we can deply McDonald's to what I do now but um we could figure out there there are opportunities for us to attach those to it but yes that's a great example of if a student has already got something where they're working and they have an opportunity that's available to them um how can we as a school district connect with that business and say what do you need from us a lot of the partnership opportunities a lot of times businesses will hear what the school needs from them and we

047want to flip that opportunity a little bit and say we have somebody who's already working at dwi's how can we support you in helping him grow if this is a career area that he's interested in and and what can we do either curricular wise or um you know supported school to be able to build his skill set out what what does a de's manager need to know in terms of math skills in terms of business relationship and how can we embed those into some opportunities so that's awesome thank you Mr boo uh there was a mention of a school board signing a waiver is there like a timeline for when that would happen yeah it's it's it is now it's coming up so we are waiting to get that that final waiver from the srsn

048and we will have that information for you okay uh and then uh and I appreciate the the sort of off ramps explanation uh similar to this is is there sort of a point of no return when we sign the waiver or at some point presumably between when that happens and when things are implemented in the classroom um where it becomes sort of too late to change our minds without there having some impact in the um classroom yeah great question so outside of the not taking the map assessment this is work we would do no matter what proficiency skills professional development student agency around their learning that is the work that we would do um I believe once we have more information about that redesigned reimagined assessment I think that would be something that we would

049need to really look at um very thoughtfully and responsibly um and see if those are the next right steps for our community and for our students okay and then on the on the not taking the map po portion of that is sort of the the point of no return When the State Signs um the waiver or is it some other with the with the two separate waivers what I would say is that even the state of Missouri we may get a state waiver and if they don't receive a federal waiver then we would still be taking a map test it just wouldn't apply to the APR so I would say on the map side of things the point of no return is the application for the Federal waiver um on the apples to oranges APR

050comparison that may have us compared to every other District who's not in the srsn that would come with the application for the state waiver so different layers that are there but um the state waver really does put us in a different um I wouldn't say category but a different way of calculating APR but doesn't remove the map test the map test would be removed only if a federal waiver was approved and even then there may be some questions about that because they may only approve certain assessments or certain groups with the federal one that's the one we know the least about um which is never a good answer to have for you all but it's the one that that just hasn't been as discussed in the meetings we've been in and then is there a

051sense of timing on the state waiver is that the hope is that this fall that the State Board of Education approves that uh the you can see that we're in system design zone two those schools that are in one did have their waiver approved last school year uh no sorry this school year this school year sorry feel so far away yeah the fall of this current school year so there will be some local districts that we can see the impact on their APR for example this fall um I keep saying Lindberg down the street just because they're they're nearby but they're one of those that have been approved already um and so we'll get a little bit of a preview as to what that looks like when they get their reports all right thanks Cathy

052no questions just really a comment I would be interested so it sounds like your rounds at the the schools has started um would be interested just in kind of like a summary at some point of just the overall tenor um knowing that it could be very very positive and change Always elicits feelings of you know anxiety or not understanding I mean we this is our fifth presentation I think um take take some time to absorb it um and I mentioned last meeting I finally feel like I understand it now so um I can only imagine our teachers may need some time as well so want to make sure that we account for that with it um and make that point and I'd be very interested in just kind of a summary of how they how

053they go so thank you yeah thank you hangor thank you um and I I love again continuing to hear more of it to Mr Cav's point a little bit more information each time and as you're diving deeper how we can really create more contextual learning for our students um I want to expand a Miss moti's example of dwi's and you know or like a student working there how would an opportunity like that be identified like is that our staff identifying it and bringing it to a student or is there a thought process of how we educate parents and students I know I asked that question last time again like how are we educating parents but I keep coming back to this is all great but how do we get the word out about that to

054really identify that across thousands of students in the district yeah I I think the the site visits have been invaluable and helping with that piece um the counseling department is a is a part of that work teachers are a part of that work and there are also specific individuals who are building those Partnerships between the community and our students and constantly working to figure out for that diploma plus um what works for each um student on an individual basis so there there is often one or two individuals who have it at at their highest priority to continue to check in with every single junior or senior to figure out what that looks like for them um and I think we're learning from that we don't have a a concrete answer um I'd love to hear

055what our um staff at the high school has to share with us after we go and present with them um and just being really thoughtful about what that looks like to engage with our students one-onone yeah and I would also add that just looking at some one of the other districts have done this is also going to require us to do community engagement and not just you know waiting for people to reach out to us so so scheduling meetings at the Chamber of Commerce scheduling meetings with different rotary groups or whoever has those ties and really um putting some literature out there I don't want to say advertising but essentially creating just opportunities to say reach out to this person if you're interested um if you currently have students that are working for you we

056want to enhance that opportunity and we want to build that out um as we are closing in on on looking at even developing new strategic plans for example those sorts of input Community engagement pieces can and should be a part of that as well and so the model districts that we've seen have had intentional Outreach uh to those uh organizations to those business businesses and our connection with the the local Chamber of Commerce has already kind of started that he is very excited the the director of the Chamber of Commerce very excited about that so much so that he has wanting to schedule his own site visits to a couple of the places to just see some things in action um and so I think that it's it's going to require us to do that

057Outreach and like I shared before the really mindset shift is is not so much about what can you all do for the school it's going to be how can we help you all what can we do to enhance the opportunities that students have what do you need from us um and some of that may drive curricular opportunities some of that may drive coursework uh Pathways that we put together some of that may drive um just projects that are available for students but we're going to have to engage community in that respect perfect thank you no I appreciate that and I'm GNA probably keep asking about engagement and how parents get abolutely um I had another question so and I and maybe it's maybe it's founded in internships and when I don't know if you've gone

058to Kettle Marine yet but this is something that they've done for or I mean since I was in school in Wisconsin um but they five years ago is what you're saying yes exactly um but they recognized um volunteering and they didn't call it an internship it was the recognition of extensive volunteering is its own market value yeah asset um and so that's something I would really love to see more of and recognition of we have students that are really going above and beyond in that area um and just making sure that we are capturing that because that in and of itself is is a huge value greata yeah that's great feedback um and then my last question is and I I see on slides 18 and 19 right like you've started to identify some of

059the things that we're doing across all of our different buildings but when I look at this list it really feels like this is geared and focused on the high school experience am I reading that you're not incorrect yeah and so what I would say is when you think of a lot of the goals of a success ready student Network the the K2 goals are for students to be third grade ready for example focus on a lot of core based skills do you think of phonics instruction basal math instruction and so really a lot of these market value assets are high school experiences but the build up to that the exposure to that the learning about yourself as a as a learner what career goals you may have um school districts are starting that discussion as

060early as pre kindergarten um some of the things that we've seen some of the model districts do for example they give a Holland uh job survey so that you can get kind of your job personality uh realistic entrepreneurial something like that and then they're creating a database of AD of of people in the community so Matt Bailey is a REI and here is what his job is and here is what he loves about his job and any student that gets REI could reach out to Matt Bailey and say tell us how you apply your experiences here there there they've got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of individuals so yes part of this is really geared towards the high school in terms of an end project but the buildup and the preparation definitely involves prek all

061the way through through high school okay perfect and again really excited about learning a little bit about that especially when we're talking about you know um how it impacts not doing the map assessment So yeah thank you Miss Andrews yeah um thank you guys so much for really um layering this to us and bringing it um to us in kind of digestible chunks that's been really helpful um the area that I want to kind of focus on is the teacher support and so I've heard you guys mention that you know you'll you'll support through PD and and that kind of thing I guess I'd be interested in hearing a little more specifically will you know like the PD days be um um you know the the district pte days will that um you know be

062part of the plan so just some more details around kind of how teachers are going to be supported through through this journey sure so we have a couple of opportunities just in regards to time like during the school day after school and during summer to provide professional development so we are definitely looking at those summer opportunities um and the professional development at that time um everything that um we are Focus on for next year for our PD days is around plc's and also diversity equity and inclusion and wellness um that PLC work is very closely aligned to all of this work it's so nice um or it's pretty easy to weave this type of work into our PLC work what do we want students to know and be able to do how will we know

063um what will we do if they need enrichment and extension and what will we do if they don't understand um and need additional support so that work is really closely tied um to the PLC work as well okay thanks Miss heer um hi um I would just say conceptually I love the whole market value assets thing not just for the obvious reasons but also I've often wished that I could have done some internships in My Chosen career when I was a teenager because I would have immediately said never mind and I would have saved a lot of college tuition so I think that that's another great you know benefit of doing this kind of thing at the high school level um and earlier I suppose uh I wanted to my one question kind of Builds

064on something that Miss Motika and Miss pingor brought up in terms of just the infrastructure um it feels like there's a lot of behind the scenes work that would need to happen to not just help current students identify how they can pull their experiences into these kinds of programs but also I would Envision some pathway where a student could go to some sort of designated person and say I'm really interested in advertising I don't know how to start I don't know where to get that kind of experience but I'm interested in something in that so both sides that that's kind of like two sides of the same coin but they both seem like they would require some Personnel or infrastructure resources and so that's something I'm interested in us looking at as we move forward

065with the program that's pretty much it I guess it wasn't a question I was just talking yeah we can add too I I would say that that is one of the reasons why this would be a multi-year process is to build out what that infrastructure is needed to to make everything fit for us uh we've seen some of the districts that put this into place that have dedicated people that do exactly do exactly what you described others that do more of a group share um that's there and so really looking at what opportunities we have in Kirkwood one of the benefits that we have is where we're located with so many uh local business opportunities and so many people that want to give back and contribute um it is is going to take a lot

066of kind of behind the scenes to do that at the end of the day we still also have to have people that are supporting students on their Pathway to graduation and their Pathway to taking biology and geometry and calculus or whatever courses that are there um and being able to ensure that those experiences are still valid and useful for our students but you're correct that in some of the districts that we've seen they have had or have carved out um dedicated roles for that so thank you I Echo what everyone said Miss um Andrews took the words out of my mouth I just wrote thanks for breaking this down into bite-sized um pieces for us I do think that the um community community engagement piece will be a game changer because you know when you

067know schools and homes and the community work together we will have better student outcomes for our kids and um academic achievements um I did have a question Jennifer brought up I'm sorry U Miss pbor uh volunteering and I remember back in my day in Kirkwood and I'm glad to say I've got two other fellow uh Kirkwood alums um on the board now um we had to have volunteer hours to graduate is that still a requirement it is not um I will say if a student wants to pursue the A+ scholarship which if you're not aware where that gives a student typically two years of community college paid for then there are uh 50 hours of either mentoring or very targeted volunteering that's required but in terms of just an overall diploma that's not a requirement

068no and government is a requirement to graduate from high school that that course is and um currently through the curriculum writing cycle which you'll see probably very soon here in the E Spotlight we're getting ready to send a survey out about the service project work within that class as well so there are opportunities but certainly room room for growth okay yeah just asking yep and then I will just say too just thinking about because I keep hearing the clicking like this is a great example of a market value Asset these students are pursuing some journalistic approaches and some and some pieces and and are taking their time to come and see how these experiences go and the production that we have when it comes to our journalism Department as an example they're producing I mean

069not just award-winning but magazine quality level work so we have examples already in Place uh of student experiences that they have um that are that are very connected to Opportunities like this no absolutely and then I think the spirit of this question was answered um and Miss Heburn heurn kind of um touched on it so you've mentioned that 100% the goal is that 100% of the students will um have some sort of access I would say that's my personal so no but so I'll own that and say my my question is though will this be a requirement for all students because to miss he's there will be students who will be proactive or their families will be proactive with pushing them to pursue these opportunities but then if you have students whose parents aren't that

070involved how are we ensuring that all of our students are taking advantage of these opportunities the good news when it comes to graduation requirements is any changes require board approval and so at the moment there's not a plan for that to be a requirement for graduation um what I will say however is that as we're doing the system design work and looking at how this impacts not just Kirkwood but the entire State I wouldn't I wouldn't discount the possibility that at some point the state says there are certain requirements that have to be put into place um but to your point I think that one of the the jobs that we would really take very seriously is making sure we're doing everything we can to provide students with those opportunities regardless of what you know

071opportunities they have outside of school so and I also think it would be we need to hear from our students we need to hear from our community and we need to hear from our teachers to make sure that is the direction we want to go um but certainly we know it's an incredible opportunity and I will say to that point too that many times a client of the students could be the school um it could be an opportunity uh when we were talking again to one of the school districts I think I said this before the back of their scoreboard now was designed by a student all of their Sports Marketing was done by students all of their we have I mean journalism pieces that are there website management in some cases done by the

072students so uh the opportunities don't just have to be can you drive down the street to the business it could be can you connect with the principal or the or the school board or you know our our community relations department and look at what opportunities are available to you in those fields as well we we have some people that may want to be teachers what a great opportunity for us to get them in classrooms and make those connections so the school very much can be a client for for these connected projects as well awesome sounds good thank you thank you next up we have 2.02 uh the Paragon presentation good evening um I did get a hold of Maintenance we're trying to raise the temperature so hopefully that'll happen sometime soon um so um with

073me here tonight is Brad Irwin from Paragon AR chitecture um so as you know we've been working on a new facility master plan for several months now um so he's here to give you an update on the process and the work done so far including a list of needs that have been identified at the schools the high priority um needs and so he's going to talk about some of those um we were able to accomplish a lot with propar we improved all of our schools but that doesn't mean that we still don't have some need to at some of our schools and um that does include maintenance type items and so this plan will help guide the work going forward over the next three five maybe even 10 years um so he's going to go

074through that um and then also discuss um the work over the next few months so the plan will bring a plan back to the board in June for approval and um so he's going to go through it and give you an opportunity to ask questions thank you there we go okay there we go so Brad Irwin with Paragon Architecture I have two of our project managers with me as well Carly rickerson and Mike younglo uh they've been part of the team that has been in every building multiple times over the last uh four or five months at this point uh we started our work in January uh did a lot of the assessments and uh here today to give you an update of like Mike said where where we've been and and where we're going

075um just wanted to start off and um we focus in education so about 75 80% of our work is within uh K through2 and higher ed and we were asked a question during one of our meetings about you know where does Kirkwood rank um so to speak in in as we've gone through our facilities and as Mike said that yes there's some needs there's some challenges um but overall our team was pretty impressed um um you know the facilities team maintenance team these buildings are good to great um so the things that we bring up today um some of them are nitpicky um as we as we go through the process but that's our job uh we really want to set the stage for what the district needs to focus on for the next three

076to five 10 and up to 20 years in some case so um just kind of wanted to bring that out to the Forefront especially the success of prop R prop R is pretty evident through um all of our experiences working and walking through the district so um touched on a couple of those things uh so far but wanted to bring back to uh where we started off so we walk through every building on our own did independent assessments but we also walked through each building uh with the building level leadership with the principles to get a really good understanding for what they see on a day in a day out and what their needs are for their facilities we then collected a lot of that information and had that ready to discuss at our first

077subcommittee meeting so at each school we gathered a group that include parents teachers faculty staff and principes to uh review that information at that first meeting and we also helped kind of set the stage for where are we going and we outlined some of the things we're going to show you tonight because we were going to leave leave them with that information to ponder for them to go back out into their Network and their Community to get some more information and give us that feedback so we did that in March we came back together with them in in I'm sorry we did that in February we came back to them in March and asked them some hard questions um and asked them to uh identify what they thought were their highest priorities out of all

078the information we provided them and uh you may have seen this before but we've done we did the dot exercise and um we really asked them to focus in on their top three priorities and it was a tough decision we kind of got bribed a little bit for some more dots but uh we held pretty pretty uh steady on that because we feel that that was really important that as we walked out of that room we had a really good understanding for what those priorities were and to help build that consensus after we went to the boards and had everybody identify their top three priorities we did a round table discussion and we wanted to figure out why each person identified one of their priorities so that when we walked out there was a really

079good understanding of what those High priorities were and we were in in agreement all of us that those truly were the high priorities uh for the dist for that building because that sets the stage for the facility master plan for the district moving forward so that was the work that we did um in in January February and March um and these are some of the examples that we've been working on so um we want to capture this is um here at this building Kirkwood North and so we really want to identify the current state of each building because we know rooms change uses of the buildings Chang throughout the years so at least capture the moment in time part of our assessments including uh floor ceiling and wall assessments so pretty simple red yellow green

080really easy to understand when does something need to be replaced is it sooner or is it later and so we did this again for flooring ceilings and walls this is an example over at Westchester where we're looking at your building envelope so your exterior materials in your Roofing again pretty simple green yellow red um and also more importantly identifying what type of roof surface that is is for example and when it was installed so that we can understand when the warranties are out and when it needs to be replaced so it's not a thorough analysis of every um nook and cranny of the roof but you know getting that really good example so that when we move forward and work with um your facilities team they have an understanding for what those replacement costs and

081needs are going to be long term so jumping back over to to this site we also looked at parking lots and drives so again when does something need to be replaced when does it maybe just need to be resealed as well as our playgrounds and playfields so as an example you know the track over at the site was um a major priority of something that needs to be replaced in the coming years so before I jump into um each priorities I obviously you've had this uh to review for for a couple of days I'm not going to review each bullet point but I just want to touch on the highlighted items because you might start to hear a narrative or see some recurring themes so at the high school uh the renovation and reutilization of

082the locker rooms of both boys and girls both Athletics and PE was one of their highest priorities um and it was a very good conversation um with that group as we moveed to here at North Kirkwood dedicated space for various programs including family and consumer science Robotics and Woodshop for example at knifer um emergency uh Communications so having that increased sales coverage throughout the building so that whether you're in the main office down in the corner in the basement or somewhere else in the building that we had the repeaters for example for cell phones for emergency communications over at Kaiser uh one of their main needs was needing an additional classroom space um as well as having that uh natural daylight be able to be in all classrooms so for example we're looking at ways

083to utilize the existing building right now to repurpose some existing space to potentially do that over at Robinson uh there's seven different levels in that building and a really great example for one of the students it takes 10 to 15 minutes to go from their classroom from one side of the building to the other and they can do that there's plenty of lifts to to be able to make that track but it is a Trek and to be able to provide that um opportunity to have all the experiences that every other classmate does uh was very important um but also for visitors too to help simplify when a visitor comes to the building building um how they get from point A to point B without necessarily needing a road map when we went to tman

084some great success there obviously with prop R but the one spot that they had uh as one of their main priorities was right there at the front of the school it's kind of that welcome mat to the front door of the building where all the parents uh uh stand and wait for the parent pickup at the end of the day and so whether it's a dust bowl or a mud pit depends on the season and so that was a that was one of the main priorities is again that front door to uh to the school at Westchester additional staff restrooms so you can see restrooms pop up a lot um that's a need we are working with um probably 20 different school districts and six or seven different higher head institutions right now and almost

085every single client we are working with we are doing bathrooms we are re renovating locker rooms and we're renovating restrooms and we're adding restrooms it's just it's that time um and in the gestation of school buildings from the 20s to the 80s basically North Glendale additional classroom space So currently they have uh one of their overflow classrooms uh in the library is being utilized for third grade and just looking at ways is there a way to reutilize some existing space within the building um for for that classroom instead and then the Early Childhood uh it's a very condensed site there's a lot happening over on that corner um of the district and uh one of the things that we're looking at right now is the better even better separation of the sidewalk from the vehicle

086and the vehicles from the parents and kids um and keeping the playgrounds safe um and one of those ways to be able to do that is potentially a safer connection between the early childhood and huff Technologies Learning Center so right now work actually we met with them over the last couple weeks to fine-tune a couple of examples uh that will be part of the master plan moving forward as options as opportunities and and so we're not doing any specific design efforts we're not creating documents that would go out to bid in the coming weeks it's Concepts and ideas so that we can put together some budgetary numbers so when that funding is available those might be opportunities to explore down the road so that leads us into um we presented that information at the community

087Forum um last week um open that up for additional opportunities for comment and for feedback U there's also a survey released to help rank some of those priorities you'll see those next but then also more importantly to see what did we miss so that Outreach to the community to figure out are we on the right track is there something else out there that wasn't brought up by other parents by teachers faculty staff I actually forgot at the at the high school we actually had some high school students that were part of the conversations and part of the subcommittee as well and so basically as we've gone through our uh process so far it's really come down to about these these six categories where all of this work all these priorities all these needs have fallen

088into place and so that could be space utilization for Innovative learning that could be repurpose repurposing existing space renovating refreshing reutilizing some spaces that exist for enhanced learning opportunities and new programs I mean some of those great examples that we heard tonight um HVAC so that's heating ventilation air conditioning your Roofing Windows building envelope and uh emergency communication that's kind of all those infrastructure utility things that are very important to the Daily operation of the school very important for the comfort and learning environment for your faculty and your and your students um but are also high dollar items that maybe not a lot of people see and so C capturing the current conditions of those and the long-term replacement of some of those big ticket items is important as I mentioned already restrooms and locker

089rooms so that's could be as easy as just a refresh of your existing restrooms it could be adding additional um single um toilet rooms for for staff in more convenient locations and not across the other end of the building looking at how do we just make the existing room restrooms better um generally speaking when something hasn't been touched since the 40s it probably needs time to do that or sometimes even longer and so that's really across the district elementary middle and high school uh we touched on those site improvements U that can include playgrounds Playing Fields track and sight lighting and you can see those four really separated out from the bottom too so during our community Forum those top four items drew the most attention uh the ones at the bottom are still important

090um but that was just our first pass through from the community Forum but to touch on those uh kitchen improvements So based on how the kitchen operates what the current enrollment is of that building having the kitchen set up um both from a spatial St point but also making sure that the right equipment is there and also the obsolete equipment might be removed um and then also just general overall finish updates and upgrades I mean this room is a great example of what a Fresh coat of paint and a new flooring can do to completely transform a space but also looking at just that regular occurring maintenance costs that need to be occurred to every X number of years to repaint the hallway just as an example so those are really those um priority items

091that um we put forth in the survey to help reach out to the community see where the community's temperature is where their barometer is to see all right where are community's highest priorities and so that's what the survey is asking right now question always comes up about funding um and to kind of cheat a little bit our Focus right now is really to identify the needs because once we identify the needs and potential Solutions then we can kind of figure out the funding later we know we've got the $3 million maintenance fund that exists that has to fund most of this um you could probably tell there's probably at least $3 million at each school that's needed and the and the maintenance fund generates about $3 million a year so there's always going to in

092in almost every school district always going to be more needs than funds available um but we're currently working with navigate uh building or Building Solutions on their um on cost estimating that work so that we we can work that into the plan and so they're using a lot of the information from the success that they had with prop R so it's a lot of the same work a lot of the same things that you've seen in prop R if you imagine that moving forward that's essentially what we're basing our costing decisions on and of course as additional funding comes available this plan essentially provides that framework that road map for the district to move forward so we've identified the higher priorities there's some medium priorities mixed in there too but we're capturing everything that was

093brought up during our independent assessments during our walkthroughs with the uh with the building principles as well as the steering committee and the subcomittee meetings so that it's a it's a snapshot in time we know that there's always going to be more that needs to be added but we're capturing and dialogue capturing that as a part of that catalog as part of that Master Plan document moving forward and really focusing most of our attention on those high priority items because unfortunately we know some of those lower priority items might not be addressed or they might be addressed as part of the higher PRI priority projects as they move forward and so moving forward uh we just wrapped up obviously a community the community Forum last week uh we're going to re-engage uh with District leadership

094and the steering committee um to determine our path moving forward of how we work with uh within the community Forum the second one following up at the end of May what we're going to do is we're going to bring together all of the subcommittees so there's nine subcommittees one subcommittee uh at each School the steering committee and we're going to bring them in a room together uh go through all this uh same information because I think it's really important that the Early Childhood Center committee hears about what the needs were that the high school committee brought up and vice versa um because we have to move forward out of this process with a single plan for the district as a whole not a plan for each building and so being able to bring those groups

095together and build that consensus so that when we walk out of that last meeting together we have truly identified what those High priorities are for the district is crucially important because that is the that is the that's the framework that's the foundation for the master plan moving forward and so that's going to happen at the end of May which gives us about two weeks to be back in front of you um in June and so um in June what we'll have at that point is we'll be like 99% done we'll have all of our assessments done we'll have a lot of the all the cost estimating done we'll have those we call them kind of like special projects of identifying specific needs at each individual building we'll have those options done we'll have all that

096information um and we're going to give you a high level presentation um but essentially we'll utilize um any feedback that we get from you in in June uh to wrap that uh information up to get it to 100% and then uh essentially we utilize we're going to use utilize the month of July to essentially bind print quality control do all that publication type work but essentially at the um by the time we're back in front of you in June will be 99% done and and ready to ready to print so that's uh was about I think 900,000 square feet I can't remember number of Acres um we're probably at like meeting number 40 at this point uh it's been a lot of work but it's been really fun you uh you do really do have

097a great team here from uh facilities uh leadership our building staff we had great engagement from uh the subcommittees uh it was it was engaging it was fun we got a lot of really good feedback and we got information that we wouldn't have otherwise gotten unless we had that crosssection of people in the room for multiple times and so um kudos to your building level teams that were able to get teachers together somehow get the parents together um and fit us into their schedule to make it work but it was it's been great um and I think we've got some really good work um we still have some work to do um but we've got a good good basis sign to to launch from thank you I'm going to start to my left Miss heer

098obviously I'm on the kecc sub kecc did I say it three times or two subcommittee and I've really enjoyed the process um this is great I just had a couple uh comments not to get too caught up in the weeds and micromanage but I know you said the locker rooms and restrooms those are kind of a high priority anything that's been identified across a couple buildings most notably the high school I would say just beyond the day-to-day needs and whatever the current you know status of those is I would say looking forward um I think it would probably benefit us to also look from where our needs are probably going to be 10 years from now five years from now and that to me would maybe include a lot more private changing spaces private restrooms

099private Locker areas um um I think that that could help the district out a lot down the road so I just wanted to throw out that hopefully that's in the mix um and then this is really tiny but I had no idea that there was a way to fix cell service at some of the buildings and I'm not sure how many people know that and just as somebody who was on the KCC subcommittee um they don't have sell service there and I know that didn't come up in any of our meetings so I just wanted to mention they also don't have service there yeah it's a consistent theme across multiple build okay yeah thank you very much no problem is Andrews thank you I really appreciate um the focus on bringing all the groups back

100together um to have one plan I think that that is um really important and will be really valuable to um our district moving forward so thank you for doing that um one of the things that that I'm going to hit on is kind of piggybacking off what Miss heurn said um was the emergency communication and so um you know I I don't want to go into too many details or but um if this is something that we have to prioritize um if if there's not self service and there are you know that's one of the modes of communication then we don't that's a priority um it's a safety priority and so um I guess I would just ask that um you be proactive in looking at all buildings and kind of asking that question about

101self service um the other I add we we are doing something right now at the high school testing something out oh perfect that if it works then we'll um we'll expand it to all of our schools oh okay great look at that it actually has been kind of neat to hear those types of things that have come up and just then between the February and March meeting there's already been things that yeah problem solving happening thank you Mr Rome well that's um our director of Technology Kevin so he okay so the the challenge always with sell service is whatever booster repeater whatever you need you you need one for every sell company oh but apparently there's a universal one out there that we're going to try okay we'll see if it works well I appreciate

102you and your team just being proactive and kind of you know but we wouldn't be able to do that if you hadn't had these meetings and kind of brought brought the focus in on what needed to be done um I also just want to kind of highlight that um lighting is um a pro like that is I am glad to see that lighting was in there because that is a consistent um thing that I have heard from multiple parents from multiple um schools and so um because it's really becomes a safety a safety issue and then also just um another area that I've heard consistent consistently from parents is the playgrounds um that you know the the fields don't drain so then kids aren't playing or it's a you know it's a dirt pit or

103um and that's been for multiple um so I'm glad to see that the stuff that I've heard as a school board member is showing up on on the plan so keep up the great work and um I look forward to to your next presentation Miss um pbor perfect thank you um I facility improvements are always needed right as you as you stated and I appreciate the looking ahead in the next year five years 10 years and really setting us up um and having that unfunded needs type list um in in front of us um and that similar to what miss Andrew said I really appreciate the strategy of bringing the subcommittees back together because I don't think we've had that in the past and I think that will really help with some of the engagement

104and understanding of of future projects um so I do have a couple of random questions and there in no specific order but um the subcommittees that were developed at each of the buildings do we feel that they were representative of the student population and the needs in each of the buildings I think so we asked the the principls to um identify teachers and support staff and parents and so there was a pretty good mixture of folks on those committees so I I think we did get a good representation of those um people that are I guess um most critical to the building okay and and and Dr Al that might just be something that I would come back to again as we go into like a final something just making sure that like I I

105mean there's names for those committees but I want to make sure that we have representation across our buildings in in different areas um the survey is still live correct okay and how are we getting that out to parents or in the community that were not able to participate in the first round we sent out a mailer and we're communicating it through social media as well okay perfect I have not taken it for the record but um I appreciate it that's why I said in the last slide so can right so we can scan it right now um so um and then Mike the timeline it or sorry Mr R the timeline it looks like we will have a lot of this information um in June before we go to vote on the budget for next

106year so we'll have a little bit more information there as needed that could be incorporated into that budget is that the intention the the plan is um on June 3 the work session um there will be a second update the second board update okay and that and then the board would approve the plan in the June board meeting so on June I forget the date June 24th maybe um but that's the same date as the budget uh when the the 2425 budget gets approved um that the items identified in the maintenance budget have already been approved by the board this past December so that's the work that we're going to be doing this summer and most of the work maintenance type work is done in the summer um so really the the the work once

107we identify the needs once we determine when we're going to do the work it probably wouldn't start until the following summer so it won't be in this budget okay sorry that's good to to note um okay and then I had a couple of specifics the lacer rooms did uh conversations regarding lacer rooms at the high school include coaches yes for both female and male students yes okay um bathrooms and I think you said this but I just want to reiterate because Dr ol has heard me harp on this multiple times but that includes looking at equipment and like hand dryers and everything okay yep anything from a gut and replace to when I say refinish it's keeping the existing um Plumbing lines in place but new fixtures and those things okay and so any um

108any budget for those would include if we need to replace lines and and information for plumbing we haven't our scope didn't include looking at the um like trunk lines for sewer for example our main water lines but it's more looking at for that holistic um renovation of the space itself just the space okay um and then I'm glad to hear about cell service because that was something I know that specifically um is an issue for students with medical devices at the high school specifically um so that's great to hear about the universal booster there um the parking lots does any evaluation of looking at those specifically where they're yellow and red in include green infrastructure considerations we are looking at just the what's the replacement cost of just and when there okay um and I'm

109really glad that you highlighted the need for the extra or the extra classroom needs at Kaiser and North Glendale um and again just really looking forward to that future conversation on what that could actually mean um and the strategies that could come along with that as it relates to you know larger conversations at the district so just really appreciate your work thank you so much no problem thank you Mr Cathy yeah just one quick question to kind of expand upon miss pangborn's last point so capacity's a a a theme um it's called out um in some several areas with classroom space so my question is um as the process details like a three five 10 year plan where does enrollment to come into current prioritization and then like future you know kind of reassessment um

110just how does how does that play now but also kind of going forward I guess is my point so we're utilizing the data that was presented this fall um by Dr cof okay as the basis as we're looking forward in really the next five years plus so it could potentially influence how stack ranked priorities are made if capaity is you know obviously a theme um but not just this past Falls but we're going to get it annually and how that could potentially influence the overall plan development yeah I guess my question is just making sure that we account for that and that we're going to get more data in the future as well so and and they when they walked the buildings they looked at not only just counting a classroom as a classroom they

111looked at the square foot feet of each classroom as well to help refine the capacity numbers okay so all thank you Mr boo my first exposure uh working with the district was volunteering at one of these building facilities plans and we heard Miss's experience so I do hope that your volunteers have been warned about what can happen if they're not careful uh I've got two two real comments one is I no were several buildings something concerning the Ada or disability access ability came up in the survey I don't see a way to respond that those issues are a priority so I think that's um a concern of mine when it comes to the survey of if that was um top of Mind as you were looking at the priorities in your building there really was

112no way to indicate that in the survey um and then the other um the other thing to mention is in terms of classroom spaces and this kind of dub Tails into the enrollment reports will start to receive as a board here in a few weeks um I'd love to know when we've started to work on this but I'll reiterate I'd love to know just how many I'm going to say designated classroom spaces are available at each of the buildings under whatever the projection is and recognizing that might be a negative number because we might be using word buildings bu using uh rooms as classrooms that are suboptimal at particular buildings right we might have converted a gym or something like that um but just have that understanding for our planning purposes would be helpful as

113much as possible thanks thanks Miss motia thank you for all this it's very helpful um and I'm gonna ask a question that ties into some comments that have already been made um I know with both Kaiser and North Glendale they talk about a need for additional spaces whether it's classroom spaces support areas Flex ible and I know that both of those buildings are pretty much Bound by their footprint and so I'm hoping that we look at a whole variety of solutions there because we can't you know we don't want to put a trailer on the playground to say this is the extra classroom but this is clearly a concern that we've been hearing I'm not sure but I'm not an engineer um I'm not sure how when you're bound by the the footprint how we

114accomplish that and so I would urge the district to look at some Creative Solutions um and I really appreciate everything you're doing this is this is really great thank you thank you and I um agree with everything that has been said so I don't need to say much more but I I do love the collaboration and bringing it back so that we can have a holistic view of you know what's going on so excited to see what comes next out of our next um meeting was that the date so we can give you a Shameless plug what's that I think it's June 3 no the next committee Forum oh it's May 9th May 9th okay so come on out parents and community members we're school at the high all right thank you so much thank

115you thank you I think that's it all right everyone so this time we will um I need a motion to enter into close session to discuss Personnel section 610. 20101 313 RSM o so move Cathy second boyo um Miss heurn yes Miss Andrews yes Miss Pangborn yes Mr caffy yes Mr boo yes and Miss Motika yes and Miss sh yes thank you all have a good evening
