001[Music] baseball talking about how old it used to be. pretty cool like a long time ago. loves to give back to the next generation. Now coach [Music] himself on effort and attitude control. You can't control what they do, but you can control your effort, your attitude, how hard you work. He's also raising a family with his wife Ashley. His family shares a love of hunting. Throughout his life, Jr. never forgot where he came from. His mom, Ellie, retired after teaching for decades. I remember my fourth grade and it was this that important. One of those first major memories was when Cosby is students and staff loaded into buses to ride to downtown Houston. Crosby is so proud we even named a street after him. Yep, that's JR Meadows. Jr. is an eternal optimist encouraging current
002students. Never let anyone tell you you can't do it. I didn't hit one home run in high school. Yeah, I uh I didn't hit one home run in high school. So, I hit 10 my freshman year of college. How many home runs have you hit? high school. There you go. It's not always easy, but that's life. You know, it doesn't matter what you do. Coach, doesn't matter if you're a teacher, doesn't matter. I mean, there's always going to be obstacles that come over. Work hard. D and the board of trustees you J as a Cougar for Show [Music] [Applause] Jr. is here. Bear, come on up. [Applause] All right. Congratulations. Okay, we are going to move on to our public comments and hearings of citizens. At this time, an importance would be the local um
003the board will provide an audience with individuals who have signed up to address the board tonight. We have two requests to comment in person. Audrey Anderson, our board clerk, will be will serve as our timekeeper. And for those requesting to speak, a timer will also be visible on the screen. [Music] Public comments is in person only. Anyone wishing to speak in person at the board meeting must register five minutes prior to the start of the board meeting with the board clerk and for signup sheet. Citizen participation is limited to the hearing of citizens portion of the agenda. The board is not allowed to respond to comments pertaining to items not included on the agenda unless the response is limited to spec specific factual information or reciting existing policy of response to the inquiry. Each citizen
004is limited to three minutes to speak. [Music] Fantastic. [Music] Okay. I apologize. I would have asked him after you guys spoke, but um so I'll call Natalie Kian. Do you want to come alone or do you want to stand by each other when we all read? and we'll just restart the timer. Uh, and Audrey Harland. Good evening, board of trustees and superintendent Patterson. My name is Natalie Killian and I'm a junior at Crosby High School. Uh, hi. I'm Audrey Harland and I'm a senior at Crosby High School. I'm Olivia Darbono. I'm also a senior at Crosby High School. The three of us are captains for the Crosby Cougar varsity women's soccer team and we are here to speak on behalf of our team and our families. Last year, I tore the ACL and miniscus in
005my right knee while playing soccer in California with my club team. I knew an ACL tear meant a year of recovery and I would completely miss my season with my high school team. I re I received a message from coach Burgess when he found out about my injury to tell me it didn't matter that I wouldn't be able to play and had already earned the right to be named a team captain. He said my character was more important than my athletic ability when it came to leadership qualities he looked for when choosing captains. His belief in me pushed me through a very sad time in my life, but I'm happy to report a successful return to the field this season. I tell you this to give you insight into the type of coach we have.
006He is the type of coach you would want for your own daughters. He pushed us as athletes, but more importantly as humans. His integrity and commitment to our team never wavered and we worked hard to make him proud. Our team was undefeated in district play and we advanced to the second round of playoffs. Burgess is quick to deflect the spotlight. You may not even recognize him if you went went to see him in public because he just does the work humbly in the background. His colleagues have taken notice of the work he has accomplished and received and recently named him district coach of the year. But we wanted to take this opportunity to let him know that we noticed too and we are so thankful to have him as our coach. Thank you, Coach Burgess.
007We also want to thank assistant coach Mark. She has been with us every step of the way. If you know her story, you'll also know the challenges she has overcome and she still shows up for our team to make sure we have whatever we need to be successful on the field. Last, we want to ask for your continued support as the women's soccer program continues to grow. Women's sports is grabbing the attention of the public like never before, and we want to be a part of that movement, too, in some small way. But we need your help. We challenge you as individual trustees to think of one thing you can do to show your support. whether it's coming to a game or approving a budget to support the needs of the team. Thank you for
008your time this evening and allowing us to speak. [Applause] If you guys want to leave before we go into Great job, bro. Thank you. Congrats y'all. Okay, we'll move on to reports. Uh, TEA on Intruder audit. Mr. Mitchell. Good evening, Board of Trustees. Superintendent Patterson. I'm here again this month to report on our latest TEA door and intruder audit. As you know, there are three phases of it. The intruder detection audit and then the exterior door audit and our classroom door audit. We received a a visit on April 16th and I'm happy to say that we passed again. So, we're still at our 100%. We have one more campus that we're waiting for them to visit. So, kudos to the campus for keeping up with our procedures. Any questions? All right. Thank you. We have
009a construction update. Good evening, Board of Trustees. Dr. Patterson, thank you for having me. Tonight, I'll be providing the construction update for the Crosby High School edition. We'll be looking at three areas. Building A is a classroom edition. Building B is a CT edition. And area number three is the large group instruction. First up, we'll have we're going to look at the exterior of each building and then move to the interior. First up is the high school edition building a classroom edition. As you can see, the exterior, the brickmason has completed all the exterior brick and u started cleaning up the site. We have uh contractor has begun installing the metal uh exterior metal panels. Last last month I said we hadn't started yet, but this month we have. It's not in the picture. It's
010on the west side. But once they're finished installing all those metal panels, we can actually start grading out the site and you'll start seeing progress on sidewalks and the canopy that runs on the east side of that building right there. Moving to the interior, uh the contractors continue to work on the uh overhead mechanical, electrical, plumbing, uh fixtures such as the fire alarm devices, sprinkler heads, things like that. They're continuing to work on the first floor and second floor and getting really close to completion. Uh they're also began installing corridor tile on the first floor and will begin once the corridor tiles done and all the overhead uh fixtures are complete, they'll begin working on the flooring in the classroom edition. We'll move on to the CT edition first with the exterior. I don't have
011a picture shown here, but the exterior of the building is almost pretty much complete. We have a few minor items left to complete. uh on the actual building itself. The site work will the contractor scheduled to begin uh pouring uh forming up and pouring the concrete uh next week. They'll start forming up the concrete uh pouring up the driveway next week for the service yard. That'll allow access to in and in and out of that building uh CT edition so we can start bringing equipment in once it starts coming in. And finally, we have the LGI which is in the existing building. It's on the second floor. Uh we call it the LGI because that's that what that's what the space was originally designed for. Uh in order to add additional classrooms for this high
012school, we've created two classrooms in the LGI and the contractor is currently working to finish some of those connections for the new HVAC system, the air handler, and most of the items are complete in the that uh space except for the flooring. And we really need conditioned air to begin that uh flooring. So once we get that air handler hooked uh connected, turned on and it condition air in that space, we can start flooring. In all the the project is going very well. We're on time. We're going to meet that substantial completion date in November 2025. Any questions? Thank you. All right. Thank you all. Thank you. Okay. CrosbyD career and technical education overview presentation. Good evening, board of trustees and Dr. Patterson. Um, tonight I want to give you an overview of what we
013have currently going on in CTE and how we are empowering our students for the future. Um, so tonight I'm going to go over a brief introduction and then cover some of the things that we have happening such as um certifications, the pathways going beyond that into being career ready. We'll start with the introduction. Um career in technology education provides students um with practical skills, real world experience and it gives them a head start and establishing um successful career in various technical and vocational fields. So we currently offer uh 10 CTE pathways that all have an IBC or industrybased certification aligned to it which allows them to earn um one of three endorsements. Uh we have business and industry, public service or STEM. We also offer opportunities for students to gain some leadership skills and get
014some real real world experience. So we have the Cougar Beastro where students cater. They've done various events. We have the Red Rose Floral Design. We also have the Chick-fil-A leader academy. We currently have 15 teachers at the high school and 10 teachers at the middle school. Um, of those 10 pathways, each one meets um high wage, high skill or high demand field. So, there are opportunities out there for those students. The careers that we offer them or the pathways that we offer them, there's an opportunity for them when they graduate. Other opportunities that we have available for them is work-based learning. Um the students can participate in CTSOs or career and technical student organizations. We have advisory committee and students can earn college credit. They earn their industry based certifications and we are offering students
015opportunity for apprenticeships. So here are the programs of study that we currently offer. We have anything from business to digital communications. We have culinary. We have healthc care. We have all kinds of opportunities for our students to develop skills so that they will be successful outside of high school. Each certificate each um program has a industry based certification. So students can earn an industry certification for surf save for culinary arts. They can um get NCCER and their agricultural pathway. In the health science pathway we offer EKG, patient care technician and phabbotomy. There's a whole list of certifications that we offer. We have multiple certifications in each program. So we are more than about getting students jobs. We have some students that want to go to college. So we offer them experiences that are beyond just
016being in the classroom. So we have some hands-on experiences, problem solving experiences. Um and then with that we also have industry partners that are able to come in and speak with students. Um we offer the entrepreneurial mindset where students work in the various industries or programs that we offer and that is the end of our overview. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Does anybody have any questions? I know that went fast doing over there though. Great. Do we have a cosmetology program? So, we do not offer it at the high school, but the students are beginning in their junior year if they've met all their other criteria are able to go to Sanjack for cosmetology. which I guess I don't know if this goes under this or not, animal science. So I guess there
017used to be um a program where the community were able to bring like their animals for I guess like shampoos and things like that and I've been getting a lot of requests. Well, currently with the construction, okay, that is not an option. So after the construction, we can figure out what area or space will be available for that. But right now, we don't have any space outside to house the animals and we need to be able to take them out to walk. Any other Thank you. the 2526 crossd overview presentation. Good evening, President Lewis, members of the school board, and superintendent Dr. Patterson. Tonight we will present our Crosby ISD 2025 through 2026 planning overview for the upcoming school year. We have collaborated with the human resources department operations and the business office to revise
018our dual language program and the Crosley Middle School master schedule. Tonight's presenters are Christina Casillo, director of elementary curriculum, and Brandy Gazny, director of secondary curriculum. Good evening, board president Lewis, board of trustees, and superintendent Dr. Patterson. So, currently 2425 dual language program structure. We have our dual language at Barrett Elementary, first through third grade. We have one way and two-way. One way from Barrett Elementary and Crosby Elementary, and two-way from the four elementary campuses, Bees, CES, DEES, and NES. Currently, Crosby Elementary dual language students attend Barrett Elementary, 1st through 3rd, and Drew Elementary, fourth through 5th. Drew Elementary houses our fourth through fifth grade dual language students. one-way and two-way for all four campuses. And Newport Elementary houses our first through third grade. One-way dual language for Newport and Drew. For the 2526 dual
019language program structure, Barrett Elementary will house first through fifth grade, one way and two-way for Barrett Elementary. Crosby Elementary will attend first through fifth grade. Dual language students will attend Newport Elementary. Drew Elementary will have first through fifth grade one way and two-way. And Newport Elementary will have first through fifth grade oneway and two-way for both Newport and CES. Our 2526 dual language staff impact. One FTE teacher will be needed for the district at Newport Elementary and three FTE teachers will need to move from Barrett to Drew. Program advantages, instructional continuity, siblings attend the same campus, grades one through fifth grade. Our prek and kinder dual language students will attend Crosby Kindergarten. And for transportation, this will add three buses back into the transportation rotation. It will alleviate overcrowded routes and decrease long rides across
020the district. Our communication plan includes in April, principles will inform their teachers of the new plan and moves. Parent letters will go out to inform parents of the move. In May, we will host a dual language family night meeting to answer any questions. June and July, parents will be will receive reminders via parent square. And in August, of course, August 7th is our first day of school. All right, moving right along to the Crosby Middle School schedule for the 2526 school year. we found the need to make a transition for the success of our teachers and our students at Crosby Middle School. So, we are looking at going to a block schedule. And so, you may ask why the transition? So, we're looking at having more time on task. That's been a district initiative. So,
021we want to make sure that we have time to go deeper into the learning process and have less rushed instruction, more engaging, student centered instruction. Um, reduce transition so the students won't be moving as often as a full student body, improve student teacher relationships, increase professional development time with the longer class periods. Key components we're looking at the block schedule, our core classes and our high school credit classes. any core class that is a star um a star tested, they will have 105 minute classes and all of our high school credit courses will have 105 minute classes. Our electives, we're looking at a 50inute class for each of those electives. This um gives us the opportunity to embed professional development during the school day with them having 105 minutes of planning um or planning and
022conference time. Then we're able to get in still meet their 450 minutes that is required for conference. They will have additional time so that we can actually get in look at our scope and sequence be able to practice strategies and really work on some professional development for our teachers during the day. Then more time on task. We're doubling our minutes spent in reading class and in our sixth and seventh grade math classes. Our science classes, they're 105 minutes. They also have more time for those hands-on activities and lab time. Then it was very important to our athletics and fine arts teachers at the middle school that they see all their kids every day. So with our schedule, we are able to have 50-minute classes for them and they're able to meet every day. And this
023is just an overview of what we have right now. Currently, our on the left hand side is all math. On the right hand side is all reading. Our sixth grade math currently has 212 minutes. We would go in a 4-day week, we would go to 420 minutes with the new schedule. Our seventh grade math currently has 212 minutes in the 4 day week. Our regular seventh grade math students, they would get 420 minutes. Our honors 7th grade math students would get 210 minutes. Our eighth grade, including algebra, they would have 212 minutes currently right now. They would have 210 minutes going forward with the new one. We start out at a high number of minutes as we transition to middle school and then we taper off our minutes as we move them into high school
024so that they can transition properly from 8th grade to 9th grade. Then looking at our reading category right now our sixth graders have 212 minutes. They would go to 420 minutes. Our seventh grade has 212 minutes and they would go to 420 minutes. and eighth grade reading 212 would go to 420 and that is what we have for now. Any questions? Yes ma'am. So with these moves with your language are the numbers at the elementary going to stay kind of the numbers. So we are going to see a difference in the numbers because currently C Barrett houses two-way immersion for all four campuses and CES. So with us distributing them back to their home campuses, we will see a significant difference. That is why we are needing to move teachers from Barrett to Drew and
025why we're needing to add an additional teacher to okay for this space that are in the elementary. How is that going to? So in the fall we walked all the campuses and counted exactly how many current classrooms are being used for the tool for the dual language. We also looked at just overall how many classrooms are used, how many empty spaces we have and we are I mean every campus does end up still having one to two empty classrooms. So we did have the space to be able to make the move. Yes, ma'am. So will the numbers at Drew and Barrett go up or go down? So at Barrett they'll go down and at Drew they'll significantly increase. So I understand just in the dual language program. Just in the dang program. Just in the
026dual language program. The total number of enrolled students is about the same. You're just differentiating and delineating between different grade levels because right now Drew holds 14. Correct ma'am. Correct. Yes ma'am. I'm excited to see our dual language students have less transitions since we started. So, I'm excited to see them not be on buses for so long and to not have so many breaks and be able to stay on any bus for an extended period of time. So, kudos to working out. Thank you. We're excited as well. Middle school questions. Anybody else questions? Um when we were when you all were coming up with the block schedule plan, did we include teachers in this conversation? Yes, we did. Campus administrators. Yes. Okay. Um so how how do you have to restructure the curriculum to prepare
027and equip teachers to teach for 105 minutes versus 55 minutes? That was that is definitely in our plan for going through. What we are looking at is doing a three-part chunk to our time and training our teachers in the summertime. We're actually going to start in May training our teachers that are here, then give summer opportunity to teachers that are willing to come up and then at back to school time and then have it ongoing, but we're going to chunk it up. So during this 35 minute time, we're doing this and then there'll be transition within the classroom. That way they can see it as more digestible instead of hey you need to teach this content and you have an hour and a half to do that. So you I guess a nice question just
028because I know that middle school behavior can be challenging. um ho how are we equipping teachers with how to engage learners for 105 minutes and I think that engaging them for 50 minutes has been hard is hard everywhere not that's not at middle school middle school kids are a little hairy right is that fair to say and so how how are we equipping them with classroom management discipline that they need to to keep them in class for 35 minutes I think it's having those clear expectations from the campus. So, training, what how do we what are some non-negotiables as far as classroom management goes? But then as far as the curriculum department and working with the campus, making sure that we don't have unaccounted for minutes because we don't want any idle hands. So, making
029sure that they are absolutely engaged, that's going to be the most powerful piece to keeping our students on task. So I believe the chunking of it and being intentional about having engagement that students are interested in. So going away from a lot of just full lecture time and getting our students involved in the learning will help a lot with our discipline. What's the financial impact of this change? How many additional teachers we need to add? We have one teacher that we have to add. Any thoughts about absences? They are missing a lot of time. And but I think that we do have it um where they're seeing their classes most of like their core classes they're seeing every day so they can easily catch up. But then making sure that we have a tight tutorial
030plan and being able to invite our students in and making sure that we're catching up. Communication will be key. What's the rationale for because it looks like for seventh grade honors and eighth grade math, we're reducing the amount of time they have by two minutes. So, what we were looking at for our honor students is making sure the next year they're going into an algebra class, those seventh grade honor students, they're going to go into algebra. So kind of weaning them off of the time and getting them ready for the rigor of high school even though we know they're still at middle school, but we're kind of weaning them off of the time and then they're able to grasp more content more quickly um just by their ability and everything as far as math goes.
031So our current eighth grade math data supports reducing the number of minutes. That's our strongest um group. And so you said they were going to see the core teachers every day or every other day. So our sixth and seventh grade, they will see their people every single day. It'll only be our seventh grade honors and algebra that they see every every other day. So one more time, they will see their reading and math teacher every day. They will see their reading teacher every day. They will see their sixth and seventh All sixth graders will see their math teacher every day. All seventh grade regulars will see their math teacher every day. Seventh grade honors, eighth grade math, and algebra will see their math teacher every other day. What was the feedback from the campus on
032seeing those students every other day? So, the feedback from campus was that they appreciate the extra time. When we went and we talked to teachers, they did realize that the current time structure wasn't enough. We haven't met a teacher yet that said, "Oh, I don't need more time in math or I don't need more time in science." They like that chunk of time rather than seeing them for 50 minutes. I'm concerned about students being seen every other day in our full content, especially with our scores declining. If you're absent one day, that means I only see my teacher one day that week. Yes, ma'am. We'll definitely take that into consideration. How are you going to track to determine if we know that we are not happy where we are now so we have to do
033something and something is giving more time to those instructional days. the end of next year end of next year question here if make sure I understand this correctly. So talking about math seventh grade is only going to see them every other day. So if those students only see them on Monday, Wednesday and that child has an issue on Wednesday afternoon when they get home, they're not going to see them on Monday, four and a half days. I think that um being able to see their people after school, but reaching out to a teacher at any point in time is something and they're always able to reach out to a teacher and teachers are going to be there to help. So, if somebody needs assistance, then they won't be lacking assistance. They just won't see them
034in that traditional class. But if they do need something, but the one-on-one attention may be better for them. So, reaching out to the teacher could be more powerful. Yeah, I think especially math is a oneonone. Yes, absolutely. And what days are after school tutorials? Yeah. So, here we have students can't see. Sure. I think that um we haven't looked at the afterchool tutoring plan, but we can look at that to make sure that we don't have that gap um in place because they should be able to see their teachers. Thank you. Was a 90minute block put on the table with your 45 minute science and social studies where the teachers can still see the students every day and have more minutes than what they have right now. We did look at a 90 minute block.
035It just left us with more time um time left over that would have been unaccounted for. So there wasn't enough time to add an extra period if that makes sense. Am I answering your question? You have more hours in the day than what it would have added up to be. Yes. Yes. Just being in education, I'm just expressing the concern of a kid missing one day of school and only going to math class one day by missing one day of school. Yes, ma'am. But that's sixth and seventh grade on the whole, they see them every day. They'll see them every day. So honors, they will see them every other day. My big concern is in seventh grade honors. It's really in seventh grade honors, they'll take eighth grade math and then the following yes I'm
036sorry and they're only seeing the teacher days. I'm I'm I guess I'm optimistic and grateful that we're trying something and you know in light of our scores we're doing something to be proactive and improve the scores. I'm just have some concerns and definitely hour and five minutes is a long time kids. So I hope that I hope that we're putting the work in ahead of time to really make sure they know how to I don't want to say entertain engage them for the full time so that it's meaningful work and not just Yes. And I don't I don't like I'm not gonna I don't like naming other districts in public meetings, but we consulted with another district and how right and how they Yes. use this type of schedule. Yes. I guess I'll add um
037I remember being in the district when we had block schedules and I know it was very difficult um as a teacher. So that's my only concern is I know what we say how we can this is what we can do but I know the support it will need to be there. It's not what we are thinking about doing or how we can share with them ways to move to different avenues. is actually being there for the support and making sure that we're giving them the support because it could be very discouraging to be in their classroom for that long period of a time. You know, it may something may occur, you know, and then you're still trying you're back, you know, you're still trying to figure out how to catch up or how to get
038everyone back on track. So, it's that's my concern. I know it was difficult when we did it before. So I just want to make sure that the teachers are supported in a way to where the students you know it's it's not it doesn't become a issue with our teachers. Absolutely. We know that there's a lot of support that will be needed because it's going to be it's a big change and I think that the teachers do realize that they need a change but they also I think there's some fear for them as well but we will be there with them side by side. We know there's a lot of support needed for them. Okay. April 21st, 2005. The only other thing I'll say is just the importance of communicating to not only parents and kids
039but also the staff the importance of attendance because when that staff member misses a day that means kids are missing% of their instruction for the week. So just making sure that everybody understands the gravity of missing. Absolutely appreciate that. Okay, next on the agenda for tonight's meeting is consent agenda. From the items above, are there any items requested to be pulled from the consent agenda and discuss discuss to approve consent agenda? I have a motion by Trusty Hump, a second by Trusty Thomas. Any discussion? If not, all those in favor signify by saying I. opposed by name extension. Motion carries. Moving to regular business. Item eight, discuss and consider the resolution providing for the defense and calling for redemption certain currently outstanding obligations directing to certain district officials and staff the authority to affect matters
040related thereto and other matters in connection with their I was about to ask that a bit an is a copy of a couple of the documents that were already in the book that we're going to talk about. I'm pleased to present to you again. We've done this a couple of times over the last four years. And so we have an opportunity to actually redeem some of our debt. So that would be like paying down your mortgage early and saving quite a bit in interest. And so what I like for you to do is this page right here. If you'll pull this one up, the colored page. So you'll see that the scenario that is being presented by um Doug Wit with SAMC co is that for next month May 2025 we have the opportunity for
041an early redemption of the remaining portion of our series 2014 bonds and an early defeasance of a portion of the series 2018 bonds. So there's a summary of parameters about um I guess a fourth of the way down. And so we have an optional redemption date basically meaning that we can redeem the 2014 bonds at any time. And then if we follow over to the next column, the 2018 bonds, we can redeem those in February of 2028. The date of the redemption would be on May 30th of this year. And then the maturities that are subject to be redeemed is going to be our 2030 through 2034 maturities. And that's for our series 2014 bonds. And then for our series 2018 bonds, it's going to be only one maturity. So we have maturities that go
042all the way out to 2048. And we're selecting the the maturity that is the farthest away because the one being the farthest away is the one that's actually going to save us the most in interest because it's it's principal that's sitting there that hasn't been paid down and we're just continuing to acrue interest for that number of years. And so for the series 2014 bonds, we will be redeeming $2,280,000. And then for our series 2018 bonds, we will be redeeming $2,655,000. And so the savings to the district and of course the taxpayers in the community would be, and this is in red, $3,47,390. So, what we'll be doing is we will be paying down $4,935,000 in current money that we have in our debt service fund and we will be saving $3.4 million in real
043terms like it is. Yes. And there there there are two methods being used here. one is going to be the actual redemption. So once this gets processed, we will actually pay that and it will actually go to um the those folks that had we allowed us to borrow money from them. And so it will actually go back to them. But then the one that is 2048, it actually doesn't mature or doesn't it's not available to be called until 2028. So what happens is our money goes into an account. It's going to earn interest. when it's callable in 2028, it gets paid. Johnson app, this just for the record, this is about the fourth time we've done this. Third, third at least, maybe four. Uh, last time I asked for a total, I'm not going to
044ask you for that again. I think we're last time 17 18. total. Mhm. So, no matter how people some some will still try to spend this out to be a bad thing, which is nonsense, but um it's amazing. I mean, that's millions and millions of dollars that are being saved, but it's and that's on you and Sam Co for keeping an eye on that. So, thank you all so much for constantly watching that, allowing us every opportunity to make this happen. So, next slide. And depending upon current legislation, this may be our last opportunity. So, we wanted to go ahead and take advantage of this. There were a couple that we could go ahead and and move forward with, and we wanted to go and get that taken care of so we could save save

Contract DIIRCO 5389 for an estimated amount of $60,75. I just I just had a question. I know that we're finishing We want 48 classrooms. We're adding 48 classrooms. So, I don't my understanding is we don't have students and we're not going to have staff
046to use those spaces yet. So, is it do we need to furnish them and get projectors and get access points if we're not going to have students in those spaces? I only ask because I think not necessarily the access points but like from projectors I feel like every year there's a better one. So like if it's there and it just sits there for five years not used. Okay. Um so Mr. Hadnot has created a plan and so the addition will be used and so almost all of the classrooms will be used. There's a couple I believe that might be left empty, but what they're going to do is make a testing area in one of the current existing uh wings of the school. And so all of the addition will be used. So the access
047points will be will be needed. Yes. Second. I have a motion by Trusty Chapman, a second by Trusty Humphre. Any more discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed?

051a new sixth grade campus for that money along with all the high school leagues plus some more things. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. I would also like to say uh the reason for this move and the biggest benefit is that we will have a building more quickly and so we're quickly moving to alleviate the the number of students currently school.
