001Thank you, Mora. Um, so real quickly, um, the slides you're about to see and when you see this, um, very large document. We actually printed it super size for you this year because normally it's like super tiny and hard to read. Um, so it is very colorful and colorcoded. So, um, I know you have a print out of this on your desk, so I won't go through, um, the legends, but um, just make sure that you know you have them so you can come back to them if you have questions. Um, as Mora mentioned, the projects that are in year one of the requests are the only ones that can be considered for um, the award of funding. So, we're going to go through today those year one projects. We have 22 in total. They
002are on this list in alphabetical order. Um, so starting with Amqui Elementary School, this is a proposed renovation and addition to the existing elementary school to bring it up to standards for a K8 configuration. um as is the current state of the school now um to to serve students up through middle school. The next one is Antioch Cluster Elementary School. And this is a good point for me to pause and uh point out the asterises that you see on this list are projects that we have previously received funding for but not full funding. So just partial funding allocated to these projects. U Mora just mentioned the Antioch Cluster Elementary School uh did receive a substantial award um just a few months ago to get that project underway. We do have some additional funding needs um
003to finish construction uh that will be needed in the next capital spending plan in order to complete that project. Um the next project on line three is Cane Ridge Cluster Elementary School. We have existing land for this in the Burket Ridge subdivision and uh we did previously also receive design money so that we could uh add another elementary school to the Canidge cluster. Uh the next line is a new project in year 1. Um it is an addition to Chadwell Elementary. You'll see several small additions um in the year 1 funding plan. And these are all schools that we have studied around um uh reducing open enrollment to keep them in capacity as well as looking at reszoning in order to keep them in capacity. And uh we feel like we've exhausted both. Um and
004the uh schools are projecting to continue to grow. So we are looking at additions to the building in order to um uh react or stay in tune with um expected growth in the area. Um so Chadwell would be a classroom addition to that school which is sitting now with 13 portables. Number five is early learning hub. Um we did as Mora mentioned get some uh dollars to begin uh the first phase of a buildout of an early learning hub at the Hillwood building. Uh we are looking at several other locations in the district um including the land that we have in the Canidge cluster um for the middle school um in order to have a potential additional early learning center locations around the district. Um so these dollars are are intentionally not named to a
005location um so that we could be flexible with them um in the future. Uh the next one is an addition at Gateway Elementary. As mentioned, we have several small additions for various schools around the DI the district and this is one of them in order to keep up with the anticipated growth in capacity at this school. Uh Glenliff High School, we have received design dollars for the renovation. Um this would be full funding for the project um anticipated right now. Um we are looking at kind of an overall strategy of how we take um our many various priorities and um phase the the dollars much like we're doing with the Ant Cluster Elementary School project um so that we can keep moving on uh a lot of these projects kind of at the same time
006continuously. The next one is Haywood Elementary School. Uh we started design on this project several years ago. um it is an addition and renovation to keep up with the um capacity as well as react to the condition of this building. The next line is number nine, Humefog and MLK Stadium at the Hillwood campus. Uh we are looking at um a renovation much like we've done at our other high school campuses uh to have a full competitionw worthy track at the Hillwood campus and it would serve as the home track facility for Hume Fog and MLK. Um we'll talk about it in just a few minutes. But uh there is another line for the uh turf that is anticipated at that location as well. Uh which Hume Fog is using that field as their home field
007right now. As you all know, MLK has a field on campus and that one is included for uh turf in the next round of funding which you'll see in a couple slides. Um the next line is another one of these elementary schools that's falling into the category of um we've we've done what we can from a resoning and open enrollment standpoint and there is anticipated growth. So we are planning on a small addition at Julia Green. Line 11 is McGavoc High School. This represents the uh full anticipated funding for the completion of the project. As mentioned, we are um working on a strategy for kind of yearly allocations to our large projects. Um but we are including the full amount in uh what you see in the line one or the year one ask on
008the projects. So going on to page two again these are just in alphabetical order. Um line 12 is our middle school SSMB programs. Um these programs are in our middle schools. So these dollars would be allocated to renovations if needed in order to um accommodate the uh scienceheavy programs that we are pushing into these uh middle schools. So these dollars are allocated um for support of those programs. Line 13 is our MNPS daycare facilities. Um we are working on several alternative funding solutions for our daycarees. um but identifying it and putting it in year one allows us to potentially have dollars to um do renovations ourselves in the future. So that's why you see it here on um line 13. So line 14 is our MNPS performing arts center. Um most of you are familiar
009with this project and have participated in um our um outreach efforts and our um efforts that we've done so far on uh programming of this facility. So again, this is the full dollars for this facility um and included in our phasing uh plan that we are looking at and working with the city on. Line 15 is MNPS preK additions. We have 16 elementary schools right now that do not have two preK programs at their facility and lack space to add them. So these dollars represent adding two classrooms to 16 campuses uh across the district. Line 16 is Napier Elementary School. Um we have a planned playroom edition. We have completed design on this project and um are seeking dollars for construction implementation. Right now the school shares their uh gym with the community center. Um
010so this would build a standalone elementary playroom to our new standards um on the campus for their exclusive use. Line 17 is Nashville School of the Arts. Um we do already have design money allocated which was given in uh 2016 2017. Uh as well as there was um money allocated for purchase of land in 2018 which we did not end up purchasing the land. So council in the fall reallocated that funding that was given for the land purchase back to design and construction. Um, so we do have some dollars available at the Nashville School of the Arts to start some construction activities before we get the full funding for um the uh the new high school. Line 18 is Neil's Bend Elementary. Uh this is a K8 renovation and addition to the school um as
011they are serving uh students right now K through 8. Um, this would be a classroom addition to add the the middle school components to the existing elementary school. Line 19 is the support center for family information and employees. That is a building envisioned for this campus, which would be a central location for our uh families and employees to have a one-stop uh place for all services that are um more public and employee facing. Um line 20 is the cone center for family and community support hubs. This is a renovation anticipated at cone um to uh correct some um structure not sorry uh facilities issues there um ongoing that are they're needed for some repairs to the facility as well as then um pushing in some of our community support hub um renovations that we're looking
012at at various campuses across the district. Line 21 is a renovation at Two Rivers Middle School. Um, this project has been part of our reimagine work internally and we are currently studying uh the the best ways in order to utilize this facility to its highest and best use. Um, looking at um potential reconfiguration of the grade level offering um potential reconfiguration of programming offering. Uh we don't have a final answer on this one yet. Um but we are studying it internally. Uh but we did not want to miss the opportunity to include some renovation dollars um in order to support whatever program um is eventually decided to move forward with that building. And then line 22 is the last named project which is the Westme Elementary School. I think we've talked about this one with
013you guys before. The plan for this one is that we would relocate the school over to the Hillwood campus. We would um tear down the existing building and then build a brand new building in its place. So, uh that's why it is called out as a replacement school. Uh this one would also help um alleviate some overcrowding which we're experiencing and about to experience more growth um at Harpath Valley and Gower. So then moving into the district-wide projects. So, um, you know, Mora showed you the capital spending plan and, uh, a large allocation of our capital spending money, um, does go to these, uh, quote district-wide projects. And these are things, as Mora mentioned, from, uh, maintenance projects to, uh, school annual school bus purchases, uh, dollars dedicated to safety and security for cameras, radios,
014access control, etc., as well as supporting nutrition services um and other operational divisions. Uh there's a second slide to all of these. Um and the green is our uh technology projects. So uh this is everything from onetoone computing to keeping our Wi-Fi um and uh you know projectors and uh audio systems in uh tip-top shape in our in our classrooms to support our students. Uh, and then the final section of district-wide projects is is this lower section, which is a a little bit kind of random, but um a couple things I want to point out to you guys. I mentioned the high school competition turf fields. Um, we will be completing um Hillsboro, Overton, and it's escaping me. Um, the third one this summer, Lawson. Thank you. Um, Hillsboro, Overton, and Lawson are going to
015be completed this summer, which leaves us two, which is Humefog and MLK. So, the MLK will be on its campus and the um, Humefog will be at the Hillwood campus to support that program. So, line 212 uh, is those last two fields, the construction of those. Um, the other one I want to point out to you is line 211. Uh we have a facility condition assessment done every five years which is what gives us a lot of the information we use to prioritize our renovations of our schools and we are due for another facility condition assessment. So our goal is to um you know go through the solicitation process in 2026. So when we get the a funding award we will be ready to kick off that project in 2027. Um, so that's a lot.
016Um, we are ready to pass out the full document if you guys want to see that. Um, and I set some up with the chiefs. Oh, the chiefs cheated. They already took theirs. >> Um, he they've already got him. Yep. I think I even said to you, Dr. Bellamy, leave this here until the prompted time. >> Uhhuh. Yeah. That's just what he's going to treat us. But we're happy to take questions. You're You're welcome. >> No, it's it's not front and back. No, no, >> it's usually front. >> So, I heard I saw you guys last year. Madame Chair, I believe you have question. >> All right. Uh, thank you so much for the presentation. We're going to open it up to questions starting with board member Tyler. >> Hi. So, as you mentioned, the
017the plan for Westme before it can be built would be to swing over to Hillwood. So obviously Hillwood had to be re completely rebuilt so it needs some love before kids would be able to be there. Is that funding that you would be thinking would be included in that um early learning hub funding would also do some of that or is that a separate >> um go ahead. >> Okay. Um so we are um fully renovating a portion of the building for the early learning hub and that would in get it up to the current modern standards that we have for the building. The temporary space we will use contingency and maintenance dollars to bring it up to suitable environment but the plan is not to make it a like new facility for the temporary
018hopefully only two years. Yeah. >> Um when the school is over there. >> Okay. Okay. And so I mean clearly that has to be contingent upon. So are you just waiting to earmark that money for when we get the Westme chosen by the mayor's office? Is that >> Yes, we we will have to include some uh small dollar amount in the Westme funding in order to get that space up to suitable conditions. >> Okay. So it would be lumped in with the West. Yes, ma'am. >> That makes sense. I just wanted to see how we would make that work in a way that made sense. Thank you. Thank you, board member block. >> Um, I I don't have like a very specific question. I have a more general question, which is I I did go
019through and add it all up, which I know you're not supposed to do, but I did it anyway. Um, and it's a lot of money, >> and it 1.5. Did someone say I heard somebody say that, which is about what I got. Um and and I understand that this is like a 5 to 10year budget, but if you split that by an annual amount, we'd have to be getting well more than we're getting annually in order to be able to make the progress on this. I just I I want to one just make the comment two ask the question of like you know we there we have had individual conversations and conversations in the district and areas about are there any other ways to generate capital funding besides the capital spending plan are there is
020there are what are the ways case you talked about like making annual progress on different projects I'm just you know you want to look at it and go sometime in the next 5 years we'll get to as many of these as we can but they're big numbers >> um so I will um respond so again this is one of those situations just like the operating budget we would encourage you not um to um add them all up um just because of the phasing um process but I want to remind us that when um considering um a capital spending budget it it h we have to name it in year one or it's in not eligible for funding. And so, um, I just want to just kind of like throw that wide net, um, out there.
021And so, we're trying to be really strategic and give us the most flexibility, um, given what the current need might be at that time, um, so that we can fund the needed projects. And so, u, part of that, and we've learned this lesson, um, is that it's if it's not in year one, it cannot be considered for the capital spending plan. Um, so, um, that's the first thing. The second thing is yes, we've learned um I we've created some innovative ways to support um capital um budget needs. I think um namely uh most recently the project um at Percy Priest Lake View and Paragon U Mills has been a way which didn't fund an entire project but it did help us with the specifications around um a project. Um Casey mentioned um particularly around our
022daycare center um um request. it is possible that we um partner in a way that would help us generate funds um from the capital perspective. um those conversations are going well and this is just thinking about uh public private partnerships um and so that is another um opportunity and then with regards to our um vapor project um around vision the arts um there is lots of collective thought and strategic planning from a development process of how we might also um generate outside funding to support this um there are a number of examples um in here including our projects at um MQU and Neie's van where we have some alternative um plans that may not um rise to the associated costs as outlined um in this recommended um budget. And so we are trying to be
023really innovative and creative um and um in partnership as much as possible um given the vision priorities um of our school district to help us um realize and accelerate if you will um some of the named um capital projects that you are reviewing. So um we are pushing ourselves and I think the last project is one example um of ways that we're being innovative and just recently if my team don't mind me um sharing we actually had a convening today um where we're thinking about um brainstorming looking at some research around how we can build a framework um that would help us in making informed decisions around possible capital partnerships um across the district. And I know I've spoken to several board members um about that. So we spent some time just today um thinking
024about how we can move forward um in the years to come to help us um with the phase opportunities that are before us. >> Dr. Battle, if I could also just quickly add um a a huge number large part of this is also deferred maintenance and uh always we're also looking at um with Dr. battle's help and leadership. We're also looking at ways that we can spend dollars on um preventative maintenance so that we're not always just responding and um and response is always so much more expensive. Um so we're we're looking at ways that we can um that we can prioritize that preventative as well. >> Thank you, board member Maize. Uh yes. So thank you. I think Erin uh talked a little bit about the question that I had and it was regarding
025uh additional ways of uh raising capital to pay for these projects. Specifically uh I am interested in um balances due. What are we looking at additional funding wise for the uh Antioch and Can elementary schools? And the reason I say that is because you never know. I may become a billionaire overnight and I may be able to fund them. I'm just asking. >> So I think if we Oh, sorry. Um I think if we went back just as an example and we used um that Antioch Cluster new elementary school, the allocation for this year being 285. The full amount for that building is >> it's about 60. Yeah, is about 60 million. I was trying to do the math real quick. So, it's an additional 36460 is what you'll see is is needed. So, if
026you could just go ahead and I'll write you a check. >> We'll take a check. Yeah. Right. >> Got you covered. Thank you. And and one point too, when when we submit the paperwork for the capital spending plan to the city, we have notified them that these three projects um that all require additional funding um we identified that number for them when we started the project. >> Fantastic. Thank you so much. >> Thank you so much. Um no. >> Uh board member Fain, did you have any questions? No. Um, board member Young. >> Uh, yes, actually. Thank you, Chair. Um, if we flip back to the the back of this, um, we are actually landlords in seven different instances. And I'm curious, um, with our leases, with those charters that we play landlord to, are
027there certain obligations we have in those leases as to I mean, what's our strategy on um, uh, because I see like we're one of those scores pretty low. How how do how does that get worked into our overall uh >> I guess our our our math equation our formula so to speak. >> Yeah. Um I'm going to ask Casey to respond. Um again I guess kudos to our team who's really been digging into this and working with um leaders in metro government um to help um really streamline be clear um and um strategic around what's going to be required here. So Casey, you likely have the most updated information given the work um that has um taken place over the last several months, maybe even years at this point. >> Yeah. And and as you
028know, state law also governs what our obligations are to our charter schools that lease our buildings as well. Um and so our strategy with charter schools is um looking at them from the deferred maintenance standpoint, the large capital projects for HBAC, roofing, um paving, etc. um they are included in our preventative maintenance um capital investments. Um like for example uh we will be replacing the roof at Kirkpatrick next summer. So we'll be starting design this summer and then executing that that project next year. There's also provisions in their lease to allow them to complete capital repairs themselves and get rent credit. So, um, we encourage them to take that avenue. >> Sure. >> Um, some projects are just going to be too large, like a roof replacement. Um, those are included in our standard cycle
029of maintenance projects. Um, their roof is in not so good shape. There are several others in not so good shape, so we're tackling all of them together next summer. >> Okay. I'll just I'll just tack on applause to to Casey for taking this project on because we we had um legacy contracts for those leases that did um that weren't as clear for both parties. And so we've we've updated our leases so that it is clear for both parties who's responsible for what. And we're you know we we want to be good partners and um and have transparent leases. Yes, and I I must echo this has been a lot of work um for the team and there's been lots of conversations about this, but I appreciate the leadership of the team for sticking with it
030um and doing what's necessary, particularly in the best interest of the district. >> Yeah. And and I because I think something to think about is sometimes a school closes and it might return to being a facility where we're going to use it for our own purposes. And so making sure that we're not letting those facilities get further and further behind is ultimately comes back on on our budget as well. So good job. >> Thank you, board member Elrod. >> Thank you. I'm going to go to slide seven is where I'm going to start some of my questions. So my first question because I know it's going to be a popular thing to be discussed particularly amongst historically our staff is the daycare facility. So can we receive some additional information of what does this 9
031million fund and what are our thoughts or plans thus far? >> Yes, we can we can um provide that. I don't think it's changed since the last board retreat we walked through, but we can recirculate that given um this conversation and just level setting um since we do have some potential avenues for us to move forward. >> Okay, that would be helpful. >> Yes. Um, additionally, I guess while we're sending some information, can we also get a list of the 16 schools that do not have two prek classrooms that would be impacted by the prek additions, which is line 15? I think that would be helpful if nothing else for constituent services if we have questions or from um council members. >> Yes, we can um do that. Our um Metro Schools reimagine team has
032been digging into that very frequently, so we can easily pull that information for you. >> Sure. And then um lastly on this page >> I will I will note that the majority of those schools are in the southwest cluster. Um so >> yeah. Okay. I assumed as much. >> Okay. And then um on slide seven as well, I know there's the support center for family information and employees. Do we have that information to see what that's going to look like as well? >> Yes, we do. Can we do can we have that information? >> Yes. And this is an item that's been on the capital budget for years. So the plans haven't changed. We have just prioritized um differently. So we will recirculate those plans as well. >> I knew that I had heard the
033term before um but admittedly I'd forgotten the details and just in case we're requested of those, I'd like to speak eloquently to it. Um, the other question I have is on slide eight, uh, which is line 180. One moment. 183. Pardon me. I'm wearing my contacts. Maybe I need to wear greeters. >> Bus and vehicle replacement. >> I I wrote my notes on the small one. Casey, maybe big nice. >> I know. I'm going to get I'm going to keep what Casey gave me. >> I might even laminate them and make them little place mats. Who knows? >> Do you Are you referring to bus and fleet vehicle replacement? >> I am. Thank you, Chief. >> Awesome. Uh, so I see that that number exists and that's of course a number that we always are
034we always have money that we spend on transportation because of the requirement of updating our buses. Is this just the requirement of updating our buses or are there anything in addition to like are we just replacing what we have to legally or are we adding to our fleet? >> That's a separate line. Um, so what Casey was pointing at was the 185, which is DVR and camera upgrade replacement, and that's a separate separate part of it. This is um, so I guess what she was trying to motion to me is that this is just for bus and fleet. This is actually what it what it looks like is that it is for white fleet and um, and which is, you know, our trucks uh, for our maintenance vehicles, our vans for our maintenance um, maintenance
035team, etc. as well as our yellow bus fleet. >> So, I think the the Is this just our normal replacement cycle? >> Oh, yes, ma'am. >> Yes. Okay. I think Okay. >> Sorry. >> That's what I assumed, but I just >> gave a longer answer. I apologize. >> That's okay. In um in planning in advance of our conversations about school start times, I know there's been conversations about transportation and how investments might need to be made. So I was trying to see if that had been considered within that number or if this was just going forward as we currently are. >> So um >> the consultants have that information. >> Yes. And I'll just go ahead and tie this together. So the requests that might be in addition to th those requests will be in
036addition to what you're seeing um in this plan and that's what's been communicated to um the city as well. >> Okay. I believe I believe that is it. Thank you. >> Thank you, board member Taylor. >> Yes, I'll stick on that same page to start off with. Um, would it be possible for you to provide a list by district for items? I guess probably starting like at item 190 >> for the maintenance items. Yes, absolutely. We have those. >> And then just let us know so that we can provide that to our constituents. Um, >> that that means the font will get smaller. >> Yeah. I'm just kidding. >> Well, we we can provide the list. The list will be, you know, don't print it. You might you might kill some trees. >> I understand.
037>> Yes, we can. We can do that. >> Um and then also, can you just briefly go over the uh the combined condition scoring and then also how you choose the priorities. And the reason why I'm asking, I have Whites Creek High School on the list, and I know they're in the second year priority. I'm assuming it's because they weren't on the list in the first year last year. And so how does all of that work so that they can move up the list? >> Yeah. And I think those are two different questions. So I'll let you explain the definition, but the the realistic part of that is that when something is not funded in year one, that also keeps things moving up. So we're always playing catch-up. We've had some significant investments over the
038last few years, which is a huge step in the right direction, but we were starting so far behind with deferred maintenance that's going to take us a little time to catch up. So, it can be it can appear that it kind of works line item by line item, but um in actuality it doesn't depending on how much the investment is. But if you want to talk about the index score briefly, that'd be >> okay. Um so uh we Mora reminded me and I mentioned during the presentation we do update our facility condition index scores every five years. We're about to um go through that process again. So um they're made up of uh four components. So it's the actual condition of the building itself, the condition of the site um and then uh the condition
039of the technology in in the building. And then there's an educational suitability component. And so that would be for an example that would be specific um you know a a high school band room should be this many square feet. It should be uh reasonable you know acoustics. They'll you know the the reviewer would have come and and done some basic testing um to check the acoustic of the space. Um it should have practice rooms. It should have an office for the band director. Um in the case of Weiss Creek High School, it should not have risers in it. Um so those th that educational suitability then is um a I think 40% of the score the building condition is 40% and then the other two components the site and the technology are 10% each um
040so those get weighted in the overall score and then the scoring really is as it would seem like kind of 90 and above is good condition 80 to 90 is marginal below 80 we're getting into needing a renovation um and then below 70 um gets into uh that you know 65 to 70 is and below 65 is getting into critical um conditions that need immediate attention. Um and then so the the way that we then prioritize the projects um for facility condition it's kind of simple math. You rank them from best condition to lowest condition. So, you know, um, Whites Creek is sitting at a is an 80 and then you can see most of them in the upper level that are in the blue are down in the 70s. So, we have to also
041uh look at the capacity of the school. So, all the projects in red are capacity driven. So, we need additional seats at those facilities. They may not necessarily need a full renovation because the existing building is in fairly good condition. um like uh Julia Green is a 91. Um so that one would just be uh an addition to that building and you see very few red as you go belong go below year one uh because most of these seats are kind of immediate needs that we project in the next five years. >> Got it. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm going to open the floor one more time if anyone has any last minute follow-up questions. All right. Um, thank you. Um, I do have a couple of questions as well. Uh, I know. Um,
042we're going to end shortly. I have a quick question. Um, the Napier edition playroom. Can you talk about the difference between the playroom and versus a gym? Yes. So, at the elementary level, um it it's just nomenclature for us, and I apologize for the confusion. Um it's a it's a basketball court, but it's a smaller basketball court. We uh did design this to the new standards um around having sports flooring, having six basketball goals. Um it it is not a full-size gym like we would see in middle school or high school, though. So the difference really is about 10,000 square feet down to 7 8,000 square feet. >> Thank you. Um the next question I have is around deferred maintenance. Do you know how far behind we are realistically on deferred maintenance over the course
043of time? >> Um can you estimate that? >> I think I would need to get back to you. >> Okay. >> Yep. I I think yeah that's might be a little more more complex to calculate and that's why we just keep saying it's deferred maintenance. means that it is beyond the year that we should have addressed it particularly in a proactive space but that might take some time but I also want to caution that we might not be able to actually answer that question >> and your facilities condition index does help with that and uh we are remember our current FCI was done five years ago that's why we're we're at that time when it's time to update so this new cycle will also give us great new information with consultants who will hire to
044to update us on where we are on deferred maintenance throughout the district. So, >> it's a great question, just hard to calculate. >> Gotcha. Um um moving on to computer replacements. So, we are I guess we got our big bulk of computers during the pandemic. Are we looking at about five almost five years five years ago? And so, what is the the life cycle is about five years. So I saw that there is funds allocated for that. Are we looking to do a district ride replacement? Are we looking to do >> it's a phased approach? >> It is. >> Um it's a phased approach for both student and um um educator um u devices >> and this current CSP uh gave us we devoted a big chunk of money um to update our our one
045one and keep us at one. All right. And then I just want some clarification about the Well, first of all, I want to start with thank you. Thank you. Thank you for including McGavoc High School um in the CSP and and having that. So, I'm really grateful about that. I know I've gotten on y'all nerves advocating for McGavoc High School at every budget meeting. Um but I just want to verify the 8 million. Is that included in this total amount listed or is it the 8 million and then the rest that's needed to um finish the million the entire project? >> Okay. Thank you. Um be there no more questions. We're going to go ahead and end. Thank you. >> Thank you all very much. Thank you. All right, we're gonna go ahead. We hope
046to take a short amount of time with announcements and then go ahead and start our board meeting. Um, so I'm going to
