001products for easy clean up and we don't have a way to clean that stuff in the building. So, we'll serve on paper, but it'll be hot regular food with milk and the whole the the full regular meal. So, want to make sure everybody understands that. We're not going to try to short change that and do lunch boxes or anything like that. It'll be a full full service deal. Uh, a couple other questions or a couple other pictures here. You can just kind of see some of the areas where the the roof line that's is still at the cafeteria where it it literally just the lift of that was incredible. Uh and I can tell you that roof was built at a time uh think late early 50s I believe if I'm remembering correctly from my
002brain here. Uh things were built a little differently then. So the wood was wood and it was larger and the beams in there were massive. So the the uh the lift on that to get that off of there was pretty incredible. U these are again some of just some of the pictures of the area under that um cafeteria side the classroom there on the stage. Uh I don't know what those are. That's the room. Oh, that's the roof. Yeah, sorry. That's So those are pictures. Sorry, the detail. Those are pictures. There's some little They call it kind of bubbling. It It kind of pulls the fasteners up. It doesn't pull them out. So, uh, they just have to be they'll have to go back and repair those and patch, but but the membrane itself isn't
003isn't busted. So, okay. Kind of picture some of those window areas. This is one that the maintenance team had already boarded up. This one is boarded up now. U, but we did have those areas checked as well. There was no structural damage. Uh what actually happened to those two particular classrooms is debris hit those um and and just pushed the frame completely out of the building. Uh but the steel supports and the and everything around those were were true and plum so there was no damage there. I have a question. Yeah. Breakfast. Uhhuh. Is that going to be served? Same same classroom. Yep. Same thing. Mhm. Yep. and they may pivot from that, you know, depending on how many kids are eating or something that we could always use the gym to do a little
004quick service or something, but um I the plan right now will be all the meals in the classrooms. Um I am sad to say our new chiller that we just got was also damaged and and is is uh unusable. So uh we are looking at some alternatives because that means Mark Twain the the great majority of Mark Twain would have no air conditioning to finish the year. So, we are chasing some alternatives there. I don't have that answer for you at this time, but we are looking at some options um to to address that. It took almost a year to get that chiller. So, that's not something that gets replaced very quickly. Um they will assess that again, but at this point, we've been told that it's probably unusable, so that's most likely won't change.
005Okay. Um, this is Wyman. Wyman, I I would I would tell you in my opinion, took the hardest actual hit. Um, so if you kind of orient yourself to the Oops. If you orient yourself to this picture, uh, you see the water tower there at the top, but this is the office area on the on kind of the top of the picture. The gym would be down here toward the bottom of the picture. In the bottom picture, office over here, gym over here. Um, so it kind of grabbed that roof there at the at the office area and and rolled it um essentially almost like a burrito. Just kind of rolled it back. In doing so, it pushed the gas line off the roof. We had a gas leak there on Friday night. That was
006taken care of immediately when we when we discovered that. Um, couple windows broken, but but uh the damage at Wyman is is really confined to the roof area. Uh and then all the classrooms underneath of course flooded once again. So um the the the repairs here will be a little more extensive. This is a little bit of a different style of roof. So there's a different insulating factor and some things on this roof. It will it will be taken down um to basically again open sky um and then and re-roofed. So, the repairs at Wyman would uh once the materials are all in hand and they would start, they need about 3 weeks of good weather. So, probably four to five weeks realistically here in the spring, which puts us really close to the end
007of school. The entire building is affected other than the quote unquote new wing, which isn't very new anymore, but newer wing where the gym is, but that would have dropped us down to about six or seven classrooms, and that's not enough to function there and make that work. So, we are very blessed to have been part of this early childhood project out at the um uh Blues Parkway facility. And so, we have split Wyman into two pieces. So, the early childhood special education programs at Wyman are now being housed at Greenree Church and we are very grateful for that partnership and that extension of u of space for them. Um and then our K3 programs are now housed at our new facility out on Blues Lake Parkway. We will be communicating um things to parents
008as far as drop off pickup times, maps to make that work. Uh we will get everybody um all the details about food and and things. Uh Wyman will have food in the same way. We will transport food to the building. Uh most likely high school will prepare that, but we'll talk through that, make sure. But we'll prepare that food, transport it out there. It will still be served hot. We took the cafeteria tables from Mark Twain. They were still in the cafeteria. I think we had one that was damaged. The others were fine. They didn't move. Wow. Um, so we took those out to Wyman. So the kids will actually have a cafeteria space to eat at. And so they'll go to lunch like normal. They won't know any different. Uh, their food service is
009actually their food service equipment is actually their food service equipment from Wyman. It's exactly the setup they will see every day that they go in to eat. So, um, other than the tables and the location, it will be the same for that part. Transportation is our biggest impact there. Obviously, Wyman serves our south side of our district. So, those bus routes that go out south 63 are now a long way from this facility. Yeah. And so, that is the biggest piece. Um, uh, Hank and Leo are working on some options. We may add a bus route for the remainder of this year to help with that timing a little bit, but realistically those bus routes will probably have 20 to 25 minutes added to them if we can't figure that out and it's just it's
010just getting through town. That's the piece that we can't accommodate. But we're working on details. Again, we will share all that information as we have those things finalized. I would anticipate that information coming out mid next week and uh we will we will follow through with those things. We have combined a few classrooms. So, there are a few classrooms here at RTC with the middle school and a few classrooms out at Wyman where we have two teachers in a room, but their rooms are large. Uh the here in the boardroom is one example. We have two teachers who will be here in the boardroom. Great. The teachers love the team teaching thought. They will they it will be great. Um they're they're actually kind of excited about it, I think. So, uh we will make
011sure that that works out and everybody gets what they need there. um talking through the rest of Wyman here and then we'll circle back to a couple things. So again, most of the damage was was due to the water issues that incurred from the roof being being peeled back. But uh the the the interior damage at Wyman was significantly more extensive uh over a greater part of the building and and there's just no other way to say that. So um lots and lots of water and and u things that were destroyed. teachers lost personal items, uh, rugs, tech items, computers, phones, those kind of things were destroyed. Um, doesn't take a lot of water to cause a lot of problems and we had a lot of water. So, um, so in terms of those teacher
012personal items, does that go into So, our insurance will cover some of those things as well. There are some caps up to $1,000, but we think that'll cover most of those things. uh as at the damaged items have been accounted for and we'll work with our insurance company to to work through those things as well. Um this is an aerial shot of the of the uh uh playground area. The the sheds back there were impacted. So there was a PTO shed that was filled with year all kinds of things. I can't even I don't even know how to say that. Just a lot of stuff. And then uh there was just a a shed the building was using for storage. So, extra custodial supplies and um Christmas decorations and some things like that. And so,
013all of that debris was scattered over the the playground and that area in the back along with some roofing and debris from some of the neighboring facilities. Um so, uh the debris has been cleaned up thanks to some of our wonderful volunteers, student organizations, and faculty. Uh for the most part, we'll still have some additional clean up to do. The the wind these last few days has been a little problematic. You pick something up, you walk three steps, you turn around, there's stuff back there again. So, there will have to be some continued cleanup efforts for some of that smaller stuff. But, uh we will also um uh have uh we've done a a quick visual inspection, but we will have uh the the engineers and stuff do inspections on all that playground equipment. Uh
014we just want to make sure nothing was hit by uh debris or something that that we can't see with our eyes. So, we'll we'll have all that checked out thoroughly. Uh but um that building will will not be occupied for the rest of this school year. Dr. Dair, I haven't had a chance to tell you the mitigation company is also coming into Wyman. We are working to mitigate that as well to block off the areas that were unaffected to make sure we don't have any further damage. So they're going to put sandbags down and because we are due for rain this weekend and all of those things. So they are going to help us mitigate that building as long as we need them. As we made these moves, I I think it's important for people
015to understand. We had a lot of people wanting to volunteer. And I actually very nice couple that had kind of quite had checked in with some people and kind of came into the building were helping a teacher pack before the teacher got there and that's aed units or things that happened earlier. They they didn't take those things to the new location. So, we tried to minimize that move to minimize that move. but also in these damaged areas where the roof replacements are going to happen and they're going to have to remove the full thing. We had to get everything out of those rooms. So, the second phase was packing all of that and moving it to areas of the buildings that were not impacted so we could store those things. So, um it was a
016it was a very coordinated and monumental um effort and took a lot of moving pieces and and we had people folding boxes, we had people delivering food, we had people moving boxes, we had people communicating and pointing. Uh it it was it was truly amazing. One of the teachers uh made the comment that they wish we had been able to just post a drone over Wyman especially uh over the last couple days. Uh I think I think it would have been uh probably more flurry than an antill. Um just the number of people, the number of vehicles, the number of things that happened in a very short time uh there and at middle school were uh quite impressive. Um few other damage things then we'll talk about some next steps. This is transportation. Kind of
017hard to see, but they had some debris come through the roof. Um facility is still without power. Um hence, as you noted earlier when we were in the the boardroom upstairs, we've moved the transportation offices over here temporarily so they have power and their software to work on routing and to answer those questions that we need for parents with all the building moves. So, they're working on that. We were um uh we just got actual uh power here um within the last couple days, too. So getting our network back up and getting back to the point where we can operate on a full-scale basis um has has been um a barrier for us as well. And and I do appreciate RMU in and helping us and prioritizing some things for us to to keep us
018moving. Um some other metal damage. There was a bay door over there that was damaged. Um, but uh through all of this with the line of that storm, if anybody has seen that, we had two bus windows broken and I don't know how we had any bus windows left. Uh, it's pretty amazing. So, uh, if you look at where all the trees were laid down and everything, it it doesn't make sense, but that's that's what it was. Uh, this is this building. So, we had some damage to the uh awnings, uh, some some trim along the roof, gutter type things. Um, this gets into some more mechanical drawings and stuff. I'm not going to spend time on those. We've already talked through some of that. So, okay, Amy, I think that's good on that. Um,
019RTI does have some roof damage and some things, some skylights and things that are cracked. Um, uh, I will tell you, uh, I'm going to tell this funny story just because it's still funny, but they were concerned. Uh, the power came back on at RTI this morning. We asked all the teachers to go check their rooms, look for things. Um, there was a very foul odor. uh they were convinced that maybe a sewer pipe had broken or something. Um but it turns out if you leave crab legs in a freezer for more than a few days without power um they have a very um not nice smell. So uh thankfully that's all it was. But we will have those build we will have that building evaluated by the engineers fully uh as well. They they've
020looked at it and we don't know of anything majorly structural but we will have all that uh fully evaluated too. So um what am I not thinking of? Uh comm parents obviously we know have questions about all these things and and we are working on those details as quickly as we can. We open shift um trying to work out even um uh our staff and their children's uh middle school Wyman and Mark Twain. We want we want uh middle school Wyman and Mark Twain. We want we want parents to know. We want to be transparent with that. We want them to see what we're doing and so we will arrange adjust a lot. Um he's great adjuster a lot. Um he's great. Um he is putting all of these resources in our hands. So in
021every step of our process, we'll have a consultant. So um we are going to have JB held which works with us as far as reinsurance goes, I believe. As far as reinsurance goes, I believe. Is that right? Okay. Make sure I get that right. And then we have a roofing consultant. We're going to have a structural consultant and lots of people in our way. Sultan and lots of people in our way. um not in our way but in our way to help. Came down, we took them around, did a little tour. Um we were not the only school district impacted by this storm. Uh they actually have 16 districts with damage, three significant. So we are not the only uh uh three there are three of us that are displacing students uh as a result
022of this one storm. So uh they obviously have their hands full a little bit, but they're they're working through it and working with us. Um I I would tell you that being a part of that consortium that that music consortium that we are th those are our funds and and they are school districtdriven. So they understand our needs a little differently and they understand what we need. So, in talking about teachers personal items and talking about the contents of rooms, uh talking about temporary fixes, uh the the word was don't there's a little bit of a challenge for inventory purposes and a time like this when we're replacing things. If people are buying directly, it's not pretend for a second there's not work going on. But we have dismissed our staff uh as a whole.
023Um we're on an as needed basis and people are in uh that have things to do that need to settle in classrooms and get ready. Um, but uh it's incredible to be at this spot in this moment because uh I I told the staff this morning uh the reality is six hours we held our staff out of those buildings.
