004you interested and everything that he said like I was like y send me sever promotions and 14 coins later like a little from she's now a sergeant specializing in logistics so I which is Supply specialist she's lived in North Carolina Virginia ha and recently moved near Fort Campbell Kentucky did you ever expect in your life when you're sitting in English class at Crosby High School that you're going to be stationed in Hawaii and then stationed in Kentucky absolutely not all the recruiters would come to our school they'll be we be like no and here I am this day was your favorite day so far what this is called is it's like 100 me I think and then you dra which is 90 it's 90 PL then you carry pedal bells and they're 45 PBS each
005um so I got this day for being she met her husband while training to be a non-commissioned officer so I met my husband at BLC um because he was in the same H class with myself yeah had no idea but ended up Maring you outr your husband uh no he outr Me by like a couple months they have two fur babies Leo the lb and Luna the cat and they're buying their first home it's in Clarksville Tennessee where we'll be staying and living so that's another thing the military has provided us it's just an opportunity to be homeowners at the age of 21 and 22 so jadon's next dream is to become a physical therapist inspired by her time in Miss Thompson and Miss McMahon's health science classes at Crosby High School I think their
006program definitely helped me open my eyes to another pathway and not being so codependent on one pathway so Zaya was one of my very first students when I left industry and came to each high school and so um we learned a lot from each other I learn a lot of classroom management they were a CH punch so I love keeping up with our students and Jaden is one that I've been able to keep up with on social media and to see see her be successful in life physical therapist is rehabilitating them getting getting them stronger while providing that mental care and stability for them and encouraging them on days when they don't want to want to do this and J has all those qualities Health Sciences and the military have a lot in common anytime
007you're working in an organization you have to be able to kind of put yourself to the back burner and put the mission in front of you and I think the Army is a good example of that and I think healthcare is a good example of that because our mission is our patients and their families every single thing we do we want to do with Excellence because we want the best outcome for them there's so much more than doctors and nurses and there's over 300 careers within the health um Health Care umbrella Jade's advice for current students stay true to you but you're not going to have it figured out and you should to compare your life to others because some people just go right off the College college is not meant for everyone but there
008are Pathways out there that can help you you know get on your feet and I would just say stay paent and let God take in control to feel their life be this the Hall of school be program and just the SE Su no matter what it is whether it's healthare military or non Health it's really exciting just to to be able to see that into witness we love hearing from you guys so if if you're thinking about contacting your teacher and you know letting them know what they've meant it does make a difference to us for sure yeah Crosby and the POR trustees salute you Jaden as a cger for life [Music] Jaden is obviously at Fort Campbell Kentucky her mom Miss Andrea doson who's a Crosby IC employee the CMS registar is here Miss

011at Crosby Middle School might say something let me get back to where I was at on the afternoon what I'm GNA start the time have youres okay my wife and I had past general General concerns about her coming from CES to CMS due to all the fighting and the bullying and now our fears have become reality on the afternoon of Thursday March the 6 she was assaulted in one of your hallways by a boy from behind I have cell phone video of the assault and it took and it doesn't take a rocket science to see that this was a planned and premeditated assault by this boy and he was encouraged by at least two other girls on the video we can easily identify the boy and one of the girls but not the second girl
012that is recording this incident at as this boy and girls were searching for my daughter they found her and and as they approached her from behind the boy pulled her to the floor by her ponytail with his left hand and commenced striking her with his right fist at least 10 to 12 times in the head before a staff member intervened in the video finally stopped and for the record she urinated on herself in the hallway while she was being attacked and she didn't say nothing to nobody because she was embarrassed of what happened to her but what I'm also more appall that than anything else at this is it not one single one of your members of CMS went to her and helped her not one she was taken to the Urgent Care the next
013day and she was evaluated for a cussion and other possible injuries I am addressing this to every single Crosby ISD board member and especially the Crosby ISD superintendent it's one thing when it's girls own girls and boys own boys but but when you have boys attacking girls you have a systemic culture problem not policy what whether this was a one-off assault like this or not this is a major issue that has happened to each of yours watch over this district and I'm holding each one of you responsible for this this is on you again culture bullying is a major problem in most districts but especially this district and has been for several years giving the parents and students nothing more than word salad at the beginning of each year about bullying and then hanging anti-bullying
014posters in your hallways is an ineffective approach I've even heard bullying and then even even heard of the stories of the high school bullying by student witnesses that are afraid to come forward God forbid one of these students get critically hurt in an ICU because you chose not to take a more serious approach to this issue it's only a matter of time before it happens unless you take evasive action whose district is this ours or the state of Texas yes parents are also of blame for this Behavior at home but at the schools that's on you you are The Gatekeepers keep the gate last paragraph no you you need you need to listen you can email the rest of your comments to us she's not coming back to school here I'll put it to you
015that way because you don't get Second Chances with issues like this thank you on to reports and the first thing we have is the construction update good evening the construction update this evening will be presented by Robert arsal with Len good even good evening board chrises Dr Patterson thank you for having me thank you for this uh opportunity to give you the update construction update for the two projects that we have ongoing right now we have Crosby High School Edition and the cougar Stadium turf track we'll start off with the Crosby High School Edition we've broken that up into three areas you can see here building a is classroom Edition Building B is the CTE Edition and then finally number three is the large group instruction and the uh the work that's going on in
016the existing campus all right we'll start off with building a the classroom Edition you can see here the uh well it's kind of hard to see but you you can see Brick uh being uh laid in the front of the building right there right at that corner if you go if you pass by there today it looks a lot different they've moved they progressed pretty far uh with the exterior they've already put the channels up on the walls where the black areas are waterproofing and they'll start uh installing the uh the metal panels this week we're about 95% complete with all the windows and doors so we're we're really close to being dried in here we have some pictures of the first floor and the second floor the first floor is on the left hand
017side we're really getting into the finishes now the first primer coat of painting the classrooms in the hallway have been uh sprayed and if you can see the ceiling grid and some of those fixtures and devices have been uh been installed picture on the right hand side is the second floor which is following the first floor and activities it's just following about a week two weeks behind uh they they start on the first floor mooved to the second floor you can see here that they've uh paint uh they taped and floated the uh the joints on the second floor right here's a little it's a little crevice the little uh Corner that we're looking at right here on the right hand side you can see the uh it's a hallway with CTE with not CT
018with a health science and a life not Health Science and science classroom next we have Building B which is the CT Edition same thing here we exterior of the building we have the insulation on on the left- hand side of the left picture you can see the metal paneling going on it really mimics what we already have at this existing school and on the right hand side you're looking at the welding glab we have some of the duct in and we have some of the bless you some of the duct end some of the panel the electrical panels in and we'll be progressing pretty soon with P pulling those duck Works down to where each welding station will be and then we have Crosby High School Edition the interior of the existing building this is
019the LGI same thing we have the fixtures going in they're really getting really close to uh completing putting the acoustical ceiling in we've installed the air handler in there they ran the water piping to it so we should be hopefully within the next month kicking on the air in that uh space finally the cougar Stadium turf track I'll go through this phase one and phase two we are complete I just kept this on here because we still had one outstanding uh punch list item that we're working to address but uh there it's just a long lead item that we've identified after the fact so we're working on it questions do we have an anticipated opening dat for classrooms at CHS we're contractually obligated November 18th 2025 okay so after the schol thank you um I
020did have one other question how is the construction at the back of the school how is that impacting traffic and parking ATS specifically for staff members at CS well we've had a couple calls and we stayed on top of it we have directed the contractor that they cannot park in the front of the school they have to park on the sides they have specific areas they'll have to park in the track and be picked up and brought over if when it's really muddy and they can't park in the grass in that Center uh Center area so we've uh we've worked really closely with Mr had and Mr Mitchell and misson to De conflict as much as we could I know we have a lot of people offing out of there that have to come and
021go so make sure they have we made a couple other improvements we put up barriers sandbags to stop water and any kind of when it rains because it's been raining a lot uh the last month any water stop coming on to the sidewalks to protect those areas so we don't have any staff or students slipping things like that so we put a couple measures in thank you next for reports we have the delid tax report I'm going to reintroduce to Justin Barlo he is with Purdue Brandon Fielder Collins and M they are our delinquent tax attorneys and so he'll be making that presentation for you this evening and she's gonna pull that up for you and thank you thank you right good evening board members Dr Patterson um again as Miss Johnson explained my name
022is Justin Barlo I know I've met a number of you but in the event you didn't remember I'm also accompanied by our law partner Melissa Valdez she's our board CER certified uh bankruptcy expert so if you don't know what board certified means essentially she has to take an extra bar exam just on bankruptcy to make sure she's an expert um so with that I would like to jump right into the report but also kind of explain our process and what this report even means um so as Miss Johnson said we are your delinquent tax attorney so what that means is anybody that lives in Crosby uh in the school district uh limits pays property taxes every year the tax off office tries to make sure that they collect all the taxes from everybody you know
023that is a resident if they're unsuccessful by July they say hey Justus Melissa we can't collect these accounts can you guys see what you can do and collect them now the tax office does collect usually about 96 to 97% so most people in Crosby want to pay their taxes so Melissa and I focus primarily on that last four to three% so even though it sounds like it's a small number that's our entire world so we treat it very seriously getting right into it um of the amounts that were completely turned over to our office uh you'll see that number at the very top is about 2.8 million um and this kind of just gives you a breakdown of where that money is where it actually um uh what part of the process uh it starts
024in so again this District over or turns over the accounts to us we start calling we start emailing we even up to automated text messages that go out to the residents um to the taxpayers of the district to try to get them to pay their taxes with the the least means as possible so you'll see the largest portions are action pending that's the the phase where we are making calls we're making um emails whatever we can do sending letters to try to make sure that we get them collected now the SEC the second largest portion is going to be in litigation that means we've actually had to file the lawsuit against somebody to get them to pay their taxes or to at least attempt to um there's also other Provisions in deferral over 65 uh
025disability those people are able to defer paying their taxes and we just need to make sure that we're aware of that and we know about them and make sure that they're accounted for um you'll also see bad address in uh in uncollectible partial payment plan in trust in bankruptcy uh so what those different categories mean bad address sometimes there's businesses that close we don't know where they've gone you know but they had some property maybe some business personal property equipment stuff like that um and the appraisal district needs to know that they've left we try to help uh facilitate that as well um in uncollectible uh again some of those we just can't find people maybe they passed away maybe we didn't know that they passed away that whole thing um moving right along uh
026monetary breakdown of where your accounts sit and you'll see uh the 10,000 and up category is the largest portion um again most properties in Crosby uh you know have PS and value so that's where that number comes from um you know if you have a $200,000 house you could stack up to $110,000 pretty quickly you know if penalties and interest do get added on there um I will say for the range of this chart that is pretty consistent with what we've seen in the past in Crosby ISD furthering just to give you a more breakdown about that 2.8 million total um the 2023 tax year is going to be the largest portion and that's a good thing reason that's a good thing is because we were just turned over those accounts last July so we
027haven't had as long to sit and work with them and make sure that we get them collected um and to further prove that we do keep M uh making sure that we collect older accounts we wanted to provide this graph which shows the 2019 tax year so initially this tax year by itself was $1.2 million in that first year we were able to collect 68% of it and as time goes on the longer we have to sit and work on these accounts and get people uh paid up uh you see we've got it up to 90% and these next couple charts kind of mirror the same 2020 tax year started at 70% collected we're up to 87 2021 started at 65 we're up to 78 22 up to 69 and that last year we're at
02836% um this is a little bit atypical of what we where we are in the first year however we haven't completed that first year as uh we're only in the month or this report was actually run in February I just got eager to see you guys I ran the report early um but because we haven't reached the full calendar year being in the month of July yet we haven't gotten to the uh roughly it's about 50% we'd like to see in a first year are there any questions for me well I just wanted to say thank you all for allowing us to represent you um and be parts of the community and if there's any criticism anything you think uh feedback you want to give us or think we can do better please do let
029us know thank you all next for we have the Char report update all right good evening I'll be presenting this one for you this evening right so this Char's update let go back to the first Slide the Char's update is actually a followup to a presentation so this is going to look very similar to what you've seen before a lot of the slides are the same exact slides but I'm going to touch on it just slightly in a different way and so the first presentation of this was back in January of 2024 and it was following some major changes and some delayed reporting that we received and so here we are a year later and I'm going to update you on where we are today so as a refresher since it's been over a year
030let's start off with what is chars it is Medicaid services that are provided by Texas school districts to Medicaid eligible students chars allows the Texas school districts to obtain Medicaid reimbursement for certain health related services that are documented in that students's IEP which is their individualized education uh program 93% of the Texas school districts participate in the chars program but honestly due to all of the ongoing changes to the chars program there are many districts that are re-evaluating especially some of the large the smaller districts they're re-evaluating whether they want to continue with the program just because it is quite labor intensive but it is and you'll see this in in upcoming charts you'll see that it is quite significant amount of money for Crosby so we would like to continue with this program and
031so I'm just reporting on where we are currently the sh's health related Services include the following assessments Audiology counseling nursing services medical services occupational therapy personal care services which you see are bolded there Physical Therapy Psychological Services specialized transportation and speech therapy where we have really taken a large hit is with personal care services and the reduction in in services that they're willing to to basically reimburse for the chars program consists of three components those three components are participate participation in three quarterly random moment time studies it's also called rmts filing of interim claims and payment received for services throughout the year and then an annual cost report and then that annual cost report is then broken down into um threep part process so April which of course for example April is next month so
032we are working on the next cost report that is due on April 1st then we'll get in November a settlement notice of were there any adjustments that they made or they going to pay us based on what was buil and then in February we normally get the payment so we have not of course February has already come and gone for this this past year and and so we I'm going to touch on that here in a moment but we have not received payment for the past two cost reports because of the process that we are currently in in fighting the cost reports settlements that we have been provided so let's talk about what has our annual revenue been historically so the column of the chart on the left is basically the cost report year and
033then I included the federal fiscal year so what period of time does that cover where does the revenue get recorded so which Crosby ISD fiscal year does it fall within and then what was the reimbursement amount and that was 623,000 for the 18 cost report for the 19 cost report you'll see that the revenue would have been reported in 2021 and it was 819,000 so we were up a little bit in 2020 that would have been reported in the 2122 fiscal year and we had gone up to 900 29,000 in 2021 that Revenue would have been recorded in 2223 and it was up just slightly $989,000 then we get to 2022 and that would have been the revenue would have been recorded in 2324 so our reimbursement was initially anticipated to be almost $1.3 million
034but they came back and they revised that and it was down to 578,000 so we took basically a 56% loss of 750,000 and so that is where the January 24 presentation left off because here we are a year later and I'm going to update you for the for the most recent cost report so 2023 that is in the current fiscal year the initial that was anticipated is $826,000 they revised the report down to 147,000 so our potential l loss is 82% our loss could be up to 679 th000 but the district is not giving up 2022 for that report where they we show that we had a potential loss of 750,000 we did do an informal review um and then we did not get anywhere with the informal review so we are under formal appeal
035at this point so here we are a year later and we have not been given a court date or a hearing date yet but I know that there are some larger districts that might have received their court date and it is this month and so hopefully once they start to work through maybe some of the larger districts that maybe we'll we'll actually get our hearing date and we do contract with HISD and so they are a district that has their hearing date and they help us with the wording and the supporting documentation for our informal reviews and our formal appeals so once that we they can work through their process then I think it will tell us how ours may end up so here on this chart I do have that we initially anticipated 826000
036for the current year budget I only budgeted 700,000 so I did budget a little over $100,000 less than what we had anticipated to receive and so we are short about half a million dollars for the current year but we don't we still don't even know what the cost report is going to bring us for 2022 and so at this time I'm not looking at making any adjustments to the actual budget I'm hoping that we as we get closer to the end of the current fiscal year we'll have a better idea of what the outcome is at least for 2022 so you may be asking then if our Revenue has been decreasing what are some steps that Crosby ISD is taking to be able to address these decreases so first like I mentioned we contract with
037HISD I felt like they did a phenomenal job U Miss Hanner you might agree when they came out for the cougar con Staff Development Day in February they came out and made a presentation and worked with some of our staff to get them up to speed on how to actually do the billing and then the importance of the random moment time study and then I know that Miss haer's department is working to review the parental consent we need to have that on hand to be able to actually build Medicaid for those Medicaid eligible students we need to increase interim Billings for services that are performed and provided by Crosby ISD so there have been some changes with chars and so if we don't bill for certain Services then we're not able to ask for reimbursement
038on the an ual cost report and so we want to make sure that we're maximizing our revenue and that we're billing for all of those service categories and then of course I did mention the informal review and the formal appeals we are taking advantage of every step that is allowed for us to be able to maximize the revenue received are there any questions that I can answer at this time related to chars not a question as much as just a that I think this is why it's critical that we're advocating to our state officials um on behalf of our district because all of this goes into our budget when these are services that our most vulnerable students need and we're working up to B but they're not supporting what's required and that's important for us
039to do thank you next thing we have is report on progress from C's mil number two Administration grades 3 through eight and good evening Madam vice president and Board of Trustees tonight the cni department will share our Milestone 2 Data the data will be presented by our curriculum Department directors Christina Castillo and Brandy gosy good evening all right so we wanted to give you a brief overview before we get into all of the numbers of how the presentation will be broken down we have three different components that we're going to share with you this evening the first component will be our 2425 mil Stone one vers Milestone 2 scores so the test we took in the fall versus the test that we took in the spring then we will go into our second section which
040is our 2324 Milestone 2 versus our 2425 Milestone to so in the spring last year the test that we took versus the test that we just took in February and then finally we'll look at a cohort comparison so looking to see how our students are growing from year to year so like third grade reading to fourth grade reading sixth grade math to seventh grade math and so forth so that'll be the breakdown then this is just some of the assessment information one thing that we have moved to is giving release STAR test for our Milestones so the 2324 Milestone 2 was the 2023 star release test the 2425 Milestone one the test that we gave in the fall was also the 2023 star release test then the test the 2425 Milestone 2 the one we
041just took this spring is the 24 star release test so we just wanted to kind of give you some information so you know where the tests were coming from and then we wanted to I know that last time that we spoke we had um some information about middle school math so we wanted to go ahead and kind of frontload the information and given our middle school math reminders our seventh grade math we did make a big switch it came um from the advice of our consultant and we think it's going to be great for our kids we're just going through some growing pains right now so our seventh grade onlevel math students they will take the seventh grade math star our seventh grade honors math students they will take the eighth grade math star so
042the reason we are doing this because that's the number one thing why are we even doing this because before if they were in seventh grade they took the seventh grade math star if they were in eth grade they took either the eighth grade or the algebra test so at this point we're looking at giving them the eighth grade our honor students the eighth grade because it's a better indicator the curriculum is a better indicator for our algebra Readiness so so it preps them to go into algebra as eth graders good evening Board of Trustees and superintendent Dr Patterson so now we're going to look at the 2425 Milestone one that they took in November and 24 25 Milestone 2 that they took in the spring so you'll see the meats circled in yellow for Milestone
043one and how they did on Milestone two in the meats level so we can see third grade rla were at 30% for Milestone one and we saw it jumped to 39% at Milestone 2 fourth grade 35 to 45 fifth grade rla 66% to 64 third grade math 25% to 39 fourth grade math 43% to 34 fifth grade math 55 to 55 and fifth grade science 27 to 17 so staying with the same Trend the Milestone one from November to Milestone 2 that we just took in February for sixth grade rla for a reading language Arts we went from 44% at meets to 59% at meets our seventh grade rla went from 30 to 39% our eighth grade from 48 to 46% meets then our sixth grade math 34 to 29% meets seventh grade math this
044is the Shocker and that's why we wanted to frontload and know that this is our year of growing PS but we do have plans to increase these numbers but right now we were at two last year to um or in the fall to 4% right now in the spring then 8ighth grade 35% um to 37% and our algebra 8th grade algebra 77% to 80% our eighth grade social studies went from 14 to 18% 8th grade science 46% to 38% and our high school English W they were at 38% and they are still at 38% English to went from 48% to 51% algebra one our ninth grade algebra 1 from 37% meets to 34 Biology one from 71% to 51% and our US history is 35% to 53% so now we look at our second data
045View and we're looking at 2324 Milestone 2 compared to 2425 Milestone 2 and again it's the same format we're looking at how they performed at the meets level and we see again third grade 38% this year's Milestone 2 was at 39% fourth grade 44% this year's is at 45 fifth grade 47 to 64 third grade math last year they were at 22% and this year Milestone 2 meets is at 39% fourth grade 40% this year's Milestone 2 is at 34 then we go to fifth grade math 34% and this year's Milestone 2 is at 55 fifth grade science 23 this year it's at 17% for Middle School sixth grade reading language arts went from 35% last year to 59% this year at meets seventh grade was 30% % last year to 39% this year in
046meets 8th grade 35% to 46% meets sixth grade math 27% meets last year to 29% meets this year seventh grade 21% that included that 21% included our regular students and our honor students to 4% this year that was just our regular students our eighth grade math 25% last year and then to 37% this year and our algebra one for 8th grade 84% to 80% eighth grade science we stayed at 38% 8th grade social studies went from 19% to 18% and our high schools our English one last year was at 47% meets and this year at 38% English to 48% we see a slight decrease to I mean increase to 51% algebra 30% to 34% our biology 47% last year to 51% this year US History 54 to 53 and finally our third data view is
047our cohort comparison so this year we've had a big push on student growth so we're going to see exactly how these students grew from last year to this year so as third graders our students were at 38% and this year as fourth graders they were at 45% and these are rla scores our reading scores fourth grade our fifth graders last year as fourth graders scored 44% this year as fifth graders they're scoring at 64% our sixth graders as fifth graders scored 47% and this year they're scoring at 59% our seventh graders last year scored at 35% as sixth graders and this year they scored 39% as seventh graders we look at our eighth grade last year as seventh graders they scored 30% this year they're at 46% our English won this year they're at 38%
048last year as eighth graders they were at 35% English too last year this year they're at 51% last year they're at 47% so overall our R scores we saw growth at every grade level now looking at our math Milestone scores this year's fourth grader ERS were at 34% last year as third graders they were at 22% this year's fifth graders were at 55% last year they were at 40% this year's sixth graders are at 29% last year they were at 34% this year's seventh graders were at 4% last year is sixth graders they were at 27% this year's eighth graders were at 37 last year they were at 21% and our ninth grade algebra students were at 30 34% meets this year last year as eighth graders they were at 25% so we've identified areas
049of focus and priority so for Crosby ISD for elementary we have third and fourth grade math third grade rla and fifth grade science then we break it down by campus at Barett Elementary we have fourth grade math and fifth grade science Crosby Elementary fifth grade science durur Elementary third grade math fifth grade science Newport Elementary third grade math fourth grade math fifth grade science and for our secondary schools we have Crosby ISD at sixth and seventh grade math so for our Middle School we're looking at sixth and seventh grade math and our seventh grade reading and for Crosby High School continuing to push our English one and English two so our Crosby ISD academic action plan again our TP top priorities fifth grade science fourth grade math sixth and seventh grade math and English one
050and two and our plan includes to dedicate planning time with the curriculum coordinators to ensure campus and District alignment and provide intense reading and math remediation from district and campus Personnel for students not meeting their growth goals questions no but request can we get this power absolutely do going back to the slide before this I have a question yeah that one so I'm curious because that's been the plan all year that was in the CIP those two dedicated planning chall coordinators and providing intense mediation I'm curious what are we doing different specifically for these braid levels that showed regression from Milestone one to milone too so when you say dedicated planning time but if you've been doing that all year and we see regression what are you doing differently so we do attribute the growth
051that we have seen to the dedicated planning with the curriculum coordinator so we do identify that we do have some gaps and that we will continue what we are doing because we have seen tremendous growth at least for elementary and for secondary I think at this point in time we've identified specific content that we need to help our teachers understand how to deliver it in a different way so that our students can get it given them extra strategies so that happens during our planning time but I know for our secondary schools we have District Personnel including myself we're going and we're helping teachers and we're helping students now um every day so that we can close those gaps faster and to add to that in the fall we really dedicated working with the teachers and
052in the spring we shift we've shifted to working really with the students and like Miss gosy said that includes campus District coordinators pushing in and helping with these intensive reading and math remediations curriculum coordinators doing any like modeling and teaching a instruction tier one instruction or is that just classroom teachers no absolutely they're going in as well and providing the modeling the coaching is now and that started in the fall and it's continued in the spring because of course some of it shifted in the fall we had areas that we needed to work in some gaps that we needed to close we've seen growth there so now based on Milestone 2 data that has shifted at some of the campuses thank you and right now we're going to pass out the campus handout so you
053have a folder for each campus so you can see their individual um scores and we will get you the presentation next on for tonight's meeting agenda is the consent agenda and the only thing there are the board meeting minutes as revised are presented from the February meeting I have a motion from Philip and a second from [Music] Lisa all those in favor signify by saying iOS motion SC to zero moving into regular business um we're going to discuss and consider approval of the job order Contracting method of project delivery contract award for the painting and playground equipment projects is there a presentation or um I'll entertain a motion second I have a motion by philli and a second by Karen all those in favor signify by say I any oppos say n motion carries four
054to [Music] zero now we're going to discuss and consider approval of a contract with Performance Services for an amount not to exceed $450,000 via tips contract number 241001 and delegate authority to the superintendent to negotiate and execute the contract any discussion how many estimates did receive how many estimates did we receive so actually for the painting we have looked at this a couple of times and so we had various quotes for the painting and then we um are moving forward with um I'm going to actually introduce if you don't mind I'm going to introduce um Brooke McFarland she's the business development manager with Performance Services and Jeffrey Chapman is the principal architect and so they're here with us as well and so we've gone through uh various stages on both of these projects so for
055the painting as well as the playground and so with the painting it's for two campuses it is for Newport and for Barrett you know the front of their both of those campuses are uh they have a lot of red um that fades in color I'm going to get directly to your answer but um that fades in color and so they're needing to be repainted and then we have the playground equipment and there's not one setup that works for each of those five campuses and so what we did was we first attempted to get quotes from various companies and so I think we have a total of three quotes for the painting and then we had um I think two quotes for the playground equipment and so those are the number of quotes but what we
056did was we actually solicited solicited the services of Performance Services so that they would be able to help us because the painting is fairly easy right they're they both campuses look very similar they're both their colors are the same but when it came to the playground equipment the equipment isn't going to be the same and it was where do we start with this project because every campus needs something different and so for the playground equipment we did include um you know we had discussions with the principles to see what their needs were and then worked with Performance Services to actually put some pricing to that and to determine how to best utilize a certain amount of money for those projects and making sure that we're touching all of those campuses and of course the painting
057won't stop at those two campuses only it's just that we had a certain amount of money set aside and we're just starting with the two that really needed it the most that was a long answer to how many quotes we had but I kind of need to tell you the background of how we got to where we are today and why we were trying to move forward with Performance Services we felt like you know we would be able to get this work done by June 30th if we had some help with these projects and we could have some oversight and um I've been very impressed by the work that they have done and you know they bring a team in and they work with us and they prepare spreadsheets and and they take pictures and
058they're documenting everything and so it's just they've been a blessing to try to get this project um off the ground to improve our campuses are we repainting those schools red or a different color so I'm glad you asked um there we they have actually done a great job of proposing some different color options of course they will have red but there's some red that has been turned gray there's red that's turned cream so there are various options and so if the project moves forward this evening then they have already prepared some color schemes and we will turn that over to Dr Patterson to um look through and determine maybe what would be some preferences and then move forward with color selection I mean and I trust that you're going to do a great job with
059that I just know at one point point the schools were painted various colors and there were a lot of concerns around that with all the different colors and so proceeding there there there's no crayons being proposed it's red and some neutral color options yes thank you so I need to clarify I heard last I need clear that by no me last I've never met you I'm not Rel to and that is funny because we discussed that this morning and I said I was GNA joke and then I didn't make the joke yes um so that is Jeffrey chapon not related to trus each ch so we have a motion to approve a contract with Performance Services Inc for an amount not to exceed $450,000 via tit contract 241,000 one and delegate authority to the superintendent
