001[Music] I love you very [Music] Thank you. [Music] I don't know Oh [Music] yeah. All right. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Good evening. At 6:30 p.m. Quum of the board's president, a meeting has been duly called and that notice of the meeting has been posted accordance with Texas Open Me, Texas government code. First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you all for being here tonight. Thank you for your input, collaboration, and dedication to our students and staff. Over the last several months, the district has been working diligently to make improvements to our primary school campus. During this process, we realized these improvements were not communicated in effective ways. We strive to communicate with all stakeholders who are working to improve those platforms, not possible. This meeting is a special session meeting as announced by our
002posting under the agenda under the Texas Open Meetings Act. The agenda item we're discussing this evening is for Mr. Bowman and the board. This is not a town hall or Q&A meeting. You're more than welcome to speak in public comment which I think if you found those forms if you haven't please get one if you'd like to speak. We ask that whoever is speaking, whether it's a parent, board member, a community member, to allow them the respect to give them not just what all of the documents that you received today will be posted on our district's website. Please be sent out to Mr. Houston and give us our invitation, please. [Music] Will you pray with me? Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day. We thank you for this district. We thank you for each
003and every student that's represented. But we thank you for each and every person that decided to come out and be here with us today. But we pray that you'll be with us. We pray for your wisdom and your guidance. But we pray that your truth would reign supreme. God, we pray that you would have your way. Let everything that is said and done be according to your will and make you proud today. We love you and thank you. It's in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. I pledge aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the [Music] forsible andice for all. Texas. Honor the flag. I pledge allegiance to the Texas one state under God, one and indivisible. [Music] Sorry. Can you hear me now? The board will now move to item three
004public comment. Are we going back? Thank you. The board will hear comments from those persons who sign up to speak. This portion of the meeting is set aside for parents, students, and the community members to speak to the board about any matter of interest that pertains to the school program. You will have five minutes for each one of your [Music] students. All right. First up, we have Mark. Good evening. My name is Katie Martin. My son Jacob is cancer survivor who is nonverbal, currently receiving speech therapy through ECI. next month. When he turns three, he aged out of that program. So, we were advised that our next option to continue therapy is by going to the school district. We completed his initial evaluation shortly before the fire chief shut shut school down. The staff was
005comforting and informative through the process. I appreciate them and have heard wonderful things about them. But sending my child to a new place, relying on strangers to care for him is extremely difficult. Trust is very important. When he cannot tell me about his day or how he is feeling, Jacob lost his right kidney at 14 months old, so I'm constantly monitoring any symptoms he may have because any sort of illness or treatment needed could have lasting effects on his only remaining kidney. For example, elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream can cause metabolic acidosis, which is excessive acidity in the blood. his one kidney would have to work harder to maintain his blood pH level, which could eventually cause permanent damage or kidney failure, which would then turn into relying on dialysis until a
006transplant is available. As parents, we have enough to worry about in today's world. We should not have to worry about the air that our children are breathing at school that it could be causing long-term health issues. It's extremely frustrating to see something new being built when the district clearly cannot maintain what they already have. It should not require the fire chief shutting down the building for something to get done, if anything even was done. Something should have been done immediately following the initial report of an issue. I've been following all of this because this is the most affordable option for our son to continue speech therapy and I want assurance that he would be safe. But this has all felt pretty shady and I would not be surprised if you see a decrease in enrollment
007or if a new homeschool co-op is created in April following these issues. The community clearly wants transparency, transparency, and I don't think that is too much to ask for. [Applause] Next speaker is Rachel Gerard. [Applause] Hi, as you all know, my name is Rachel Gerard. I am a former kindergarten teacher at NPS and a parent of a former and current student at NPS. I would like to state how thankful I was to ser serve time there to grow and develop these children's hearts and minds and to form relationships with their families. In that same thought with the CO2 numbers and the other health concerns, I still feel responsible for being their voice. Just wow, what a sad day. I picked up my first grader's belongings from her classes today and will have her officially unenrolled
008from a school she loves with teachers who have poured so much into her. All of this because you, the school board, and the administration lacked directness, integrity, and are no longer trustworthy. You disgust me. You have been well aware of this campus's issue since our emails that started in November of 2024. Although I am certain you were no fools to the condition of this building prior to those emails, you should be ashamed for gaslighting all of your educators who bust their butts day in in day and day out for gaslighting all of these parents who entrusted you with the safety of their precious children. You are failing and have failed those who are now at the primary and those who are coming to the primary in the future. You infuriate me with your lack of
009genuine care and concern. A schoolboard member has said about this meeting today that they posted the agenda item as a superintendent report and not a public hearing or discussion item. that they are looking at a public discussion meeting sometime after spring break, but that they would be violating the Texas Open Meetings Act by creating a public discussion item without proper and proper legal and public notice. Why? Why not use this opportunity as a public hearing discussion item? It seems like it's a wonderful excuse to continue to drag feet, come up with excuses, and lack accountability. Are you hoping to get to the end of May when it's summer and parents are no longer sending their kids to school, therefore not pushing matters? Absolutely. Parents are sick of this. The lack of transparency and flimsy content.
010Why are we to fill out an open records request form now to see the CO2 numbers when in the past it wasn't a secret? Why make parents wait up to 10 business days to receive an answer regarding the health and safety of their child when the monitor is right there and the information could be easily shared. While I'm here, I want to mention that the structural inspection you said would occur during spring break about that about that structural inspection that you said would occur during spring break. The structural report done on 121724 says that in some of the limited areas that were inspected, the flooring was severely degraded and has minimal structural integrity remaining. It also stated that there are areas with significant damage that are in need of immediate repair. I have also seen
011more damage to the building than what is listed in this report. Again, the inspection was in December. We are now in the middle of March. What have y'all done about this issue? Any immediate repairs like suggested in this report? This whole situation is so so sad for the staff, students, and parents, and it all could have been prevented by doing your duty as leaders of this district. Thank you. [Applause] Next we have Zachary St. Uh, I'm here tonight to speak on the poor leadership and the lack of integrity on the safety of our students. Uh, I have an autistic three-year-old that recently started at your school. Uh, before we started your school, no problems, healthy, fine, great. U, we dropped her off at your school. uh for half the day comes home drowsy, angry, tired,
012not a great mood. Where my lack of respect for y'all and where I am so genuinely mad is we put our trust of our students and our safety in y'all. And we can't even trust y'all to do that. I mean, you can't even give us reports. You want us to wait 10 days. Richie, Steve, I'm here to ask for your resignation tonight. And I hope that's done. [Music] things under the rug for so long before our community stands up. And I hope every one of you board members are held accountable. This is not okay. And when you're going to sue the city for our our kids safety, come on, man. I'm done. Thank you. Next speaker John [Music] Mr. Cooper, thank you. Yeah, I hope everybody can hear me. Okay, this is going in now.
013What am I going on? Okay, Mr. Cooper, Mr. B, my board members, I appreciate you. I'm going to put that down because I have a voice. I can send it out. I hope everybody up there can hear me. My name is Leroy Joffrey. And first of all, I want to say I hope everybody had a chance today to see the little kids at MPS that were dressed up in their super kid outfit. Uh, Miss Gonzalez and staff, good job. I'm gonna I'm gonna start off by saying anybody that knows me, anybody that follows me on social media, they know that I do not have a lot of respect for Mr. Hol. I don't mind. I say that because it's important for everybody to know. I'm not going to give a man a break if I
014don't think he deserves one. But I'm also going to say this. I see one thing. I'm not I don't have any kids at the little kid school primary. I see one thing and I posted it already, but I want to say it to your face, Mr. Bowling. You've been here nine and a half years. 10 I believe. Not for a change. You should be able to speak for your school. Yeah. You should be you you missed out on a leadership opportunity. As you know, I'm a recovering superintendent. I was not as successful as you currently are. But it's important for us as leaders to understand we've got to put that on our shoulders. We got to go out, give the facts as soon as we possibly can. This could have been an MPS parent meeting
015at LSK open with you talking to them and the principal, but but you chose not to do that. You've got good qualities. You've financially you've gotten this district in a great spot. I've worked for you. I've worked alongside you. you're you're not a bad person, but you're giving people a reason to think that you're a bad person because you're not giving them information. So, they're filling in the gaps with what they think is the truth. I'm asking you during your tenure here when you're serving my students, please stand up for them so these five board members don't have to. That's not their job. It's yours. That's it. Our last speaker is Jacob Smith. [Music] Esteemed board members, superintendent, fellow citizens, I stand before you today as a parent, a member of this community, a voice
016for those who have been ignored. The lack of transparency, accountability, and urgency in addressing the safety concerns at the primary school is unacceptable. The email sent out last night announcing schools reopening along with the documentation released today is nothing more than a laughable attempt to convince us to send our children back. Neither contain verifiable test results from licensed professionals, nor do they confirm the clearance from the fire and police departments. How long will it take for you to realize that every last bit of trust between this administration and the community you were hired to serve is gone? As for the board, it is shameful that these failures continue simply because the contract that lasts until 2028 or because, as one member told me, it is impossible to find a replacement. These are nothing but excuses.
017the board truly in if the board truly intends to listen to this community, you have the authority to act. Based on my understanding of Mr. Bowling's contract, article 7.4 subsections 11 and 12, you have the ability to terminate Mr. Bowling's contract for good cause. Amen. Given the given the ongoing issues and the overwhelming turnout here tonight, I believe this situation warrants serious consideration of those provisions. It is our right and duty as parents to ensure that the to ensure our children's safety. Yet, this administration ignores our concerns until emergency responders were first forced to step in. And now we hear that a board member has allegedly suggested legal action against the fire and police departments for closing the school. If true, this is disgraceful. These departments stepped in when leadership failed and for that they
018deserve our gratitude, not legal threats. To the fire department and police department, we thank you. If continued oversight is needed to ensure our school safety, then it must continue. As for Superintendent Bowling, any trust in this leadership is gone. We demand proof, clear, verifiable evidence that every safety concern outlined in the December report, any reports that followed in any future concerns across MISD have been fully addressed. Our children are not just numbers on a roster or checks to be cashed. They are our future and they deserve respect and protection. If we expect them to respect authority, that authority must first prove itself worthy. It is also alarming that staff members feel afraid to speak up about unsafe conditions. A district where educators fear retaliation is a district in crisis. Board members, the community has spoken.
019Superintendent Bowling has failed in his leadership. Our trust in this administration is gone. It should not have taken emergency services to shut down an unsafe school. That fact alone proves the need for change. Do the right thing. Our ch our children deserve a leader who value their safety. Our teachers deserve an administration that listens. Our community deserves accountability. Richard Bowling is not it. It is time for the time for excuses is over. The time for action is now. Thank you. On to item number reported concerning the April primary school. How about that? Yes. Item four, superintendent report facility update concerning Maple Primary School and upcoming actions. What about the high school? We're here for primary. Okay. So, we're talking about an 87 year old building and want to go over just where we kind of
020started from from the beginning. The primary campus like I said was 8 is 87 years old. That PA building is the first portion of the building. Uh the current HVAC system was installed 12 13 years ago. My understanding is is that the HVAC system prior was a heat pump system that was removed and then that system was later taken out within a year because of some electrical issues that building just wasn't up to code. And so then that building was brought up to code as far as the electrical part of it and that HVAC system itself uh that we have now is the system that was put in place. Um we have had many different vendors over the years work on the HVAC system in different capacities um and try to address any issues that
021have come up over the years. In 2015, the building was an intermediate campus serving fifth and sixth graders. And over the past 10 years, district replaced the roof of the gym, the gym floor, upgraded lights in the gym, LED lights, things like that. And the campus became the primary campus. 3 four years ago, the uh carpet was replaced and and painted on the interior. On November 15th, the Texas Association School Board environmental performed air quality test at the primary school. Um over Thanksgiving break, we were told that those results will come in. The way that test works, my understanding is is that they take a media test with electronic devices and then that electronic and then they also have a system that takes uh the test in such a way it goes to a lab.
022And so then we sent off to a lab and did not come back until um after December 6th. We got a report. We got received a score report from the Texas Association of Environmental Texas Associated School Boards, the environmental air quality report. And um in that it mentioned using C3 contractors to support recommendations that they had. There were also other items that were recommended within that report and those items in the letter that we sent out today mentioned it was they were completed. Those items include they were thoroughly cleaning and dry clean and dry the carpets. All the cabinets and shelves were wiped down with damp cloth. There was the removing of there was things and these are things that they identified that was not CO2 areas but other areas to help address overall air
023quality. Uh damage in boats ceiling tiles. Uh they took all all food and metal food should be placed in metal or plastic fins. Um and then the HVAC fans were set to run during occupied times. What that does when it's running is according to the engineers and the reason why you run the fan the fan just stays on all the time. The reason that's running is is to clean out some of that CO2. The system was also reviewed outside the HVAC source to provide other further recommendations and then replace damage vents and filter replacements and those kind of things. So we go ahead and go towards uh the next piece here when we get into um that report. It also said that the indoor indicators uh showed no immediate issues But it was the lab
024results was what found more of the numbers that came back. There were no issues with mold scores in the first test and later in the second test that we ran in 2025 there were no mold scores found as well. the findings of the uh things that were have to do with more like allergen type things and nasal spores those kind of things that was addressed when we had the cleaning and all of those kind of things and so in the second test those things were alleviated we'll go ahead and go to the next portion of this and and get into some of the recommendations of of the uh engineers so when we talked to E3 they came out they looked at the air quality of the building. They looked at the mechanics of the building
025and gave us some recommendations. Those recommendations and and the report is posted on the website. Um talks about adding additional exhaust fans in the restrooms, classroom units with common outside network, variable speed fan was recommendation. And then as an alternative, possibly uh reducing the length of the duct work so that the air flow it's about how much air flow that you can push through that those duct the duct work and then the district added in route air purifiers that was another portion of that that piece so you go go into February we had um let's see February we had the Tazby environmental conducting retest of the building and so the results came back and Again, like I said, all Baltimore were cleared. All the other areas, the only issues that we still that were most
026resist persisting was the CO2 levels. Uh they although they were, they were still at at a high at a high level. And so when they're talking about that level, it's a 700 plus your outside CO2 level. And if it exceeds a thousand, people can have issues with irritability as far as eyes and other things. But if you add the outside air, what we have found, most of the outside air quality that we have found recently has been in that 400 to about 450 range, 455 range when we tested it outside the building. So that would lend itself to being somewhere closer to about an 1100 number on your CO2. But however, there is that mention of the thousand. All right. So, we'll go ahead and go go into the next part of this. So, u
027we had I talked about the TAS report. I we were concerned or I was concerned with the report that E3 that the recommendations were not going to be immediate. They were more of recommendations that were going to be something that had to be designed and going to be something that's going to be like done over the summer or possibly spring break much further down the road. And so we contacted a second engineering firm which was Campus Engineering. They came in and gave us some more immediate repairs uh that could be done on March 4th. Th those started happening. And that was the piece where you had you had the items that had to do with the air dampeners. You had the u the air the air conditioning system as far as the ventilation fans in
028the restroom. And then in the quad, we added additional air boosters as well as air dancers or something at that building as well. When we're looking at that building as far as the WDA portion of the building when that they were coming on the March 4th to put in and that was the day that it was closed, same day the damagers came in. They began the work that night. They worked until that Friday uh putting in dancers. What what hap happened was when they got to the dampeners, there was motors and things that they found that were broken. The dampeners were not originally hooked up correctly or hooked up at all. And so they were going back in and getting those corrected as far as dampers considered. And then they were also having to put
029they had to purchase computer boards for the dampers to be connected into for that all to operate. So, that took a little bit of time as far as purchasing those items and getting them here and getting all that purchase. One step forward, one step back. You know what? You got the product. Okay, go get the go get the product. Takes a little bit of time. They get the product and there was another item that they needed to find. So, it took a couple weeks, but we've got got all the items there. They worked um through one late in the evenings and got all that work completed and got the air dampeners correct corrected our dampers corrected and then they got the uh all of that connected down the hallway. The ventilation fans had been purchased
030and were already put in. We were researching a way. It doesn't I know in a normal household it seems like a ventilation fan doesn't sound like it would be all that difficult, but these are commercial grade ventilation fans that are going to be pushing out a certain amount of the air as far as the parts per million. And so we were looking at trying to find how we were going to be able to take that ventilate it through the roofs of the building and get that out of the building is straight from the back restrooms. And so that's exactly what what happened with that is we uh found that we had a roof coming out and was going to be doing that work for looking at the roof and our guys are going to try
031to do the wiring have electricians come in or actually just set it up and electrician going to set it up but to move the product project along. We engaged Gallagher Construction Galler Construction. We have our electricians here. We had a roofer here that's working with our um construction and they were able to get that moving much quicker and we were able to get those ventilation fans completed by the 7th. So we move forward. We had multiple letters that we sent out uh over the fourth, 5th and the 9th uh moving forward and there were some concerns brought up by the staff and we were trying to address that. that is late on a Friday some concerns about what about asbestos possibly being in the air quality of the building. So I contacted different contacts within
032Gallagher different places as far as like Tazby and different organizations and I was brought to Drew Consulting Services and they do as best air quality testing. They're out of I believe it was out of the North Texas area. I can't remember if it was cross or not. Um the group came in, they came in, they took they they looked at the overall size of the building. They they decided how many tests were needed to get a good sampling of that building and they after they got the samplings, they took the test and immediately ran them to the lab. It had to be taken to one of a lab up in the North Texas area. The report came in late the next day and that report said that the air test for the asbestos, no airborne
033asbestos structures were identified in any the random TEM air samples collected where we had that test specifically ran. I asked them to have it outside where I knew where the work had been done in the hallway. One of the spots was in the girls restroom where the ventilation fan had been cut through. And guys, when they cut that uh vent to go all the way through the roof, you could see the plywood. You could see the new roofing that had been there. So, there was no existing roofing from however long ago. It was a much newer product because of what was cut and they put in that that piece. Um as far as that goes. But anyways, there was no petting through any type of assesto product to our knowledge and it was a test
034that ran in that room specifically. Um, moving forward, um, the other things that we worked on is on March 11th, uh, the campus and staff, uh, we we work together as far as inside the rooms, um, and with most elevated CO2 levels with the protocols in place and so that you understand what the protocols are until that the the last recommendation is able to be completed. that is currently it says in the letter that you got today. It is currently being designed and that's putting in the ventilation static ventilation fans. There was a gentleman that came to the campus just yesterday evening. He was measuring again. They visited the campus twice now. Um and so they're looking at how they're going to design these static fans. And essentially what they do is push more of
035the air through the duct work. so that it cleans out that carbon CO2 levels in those classrooms. And so we work with them to get those those that product that piece going. That design work takes it's going to take a little bit more time, but my understanding is their their dead set date was for March the 21st, but they're working to try to get that done prior March 21st. at my request because we're trying to get started on the actual work. And the reason we're trying to they're doing that moving that up is we've also talked to them and getting us some of those parts and materials list early so that we can order those materials because things take time to order and get here. And so once we order those things, we can try
036to get that work done over a certain amount of time. My understanding is it's about two to three day job to have that work done. But if they worked over an entire weekend, they completed work uh or at least complete it for a portion of the building and then we come in and do it over another weekend. The protocols that are in place right now. So what here's where the building is at right now. We are starting to see that the CO2 levels are not elevating as rapidly. But what we are seeing is that we still have some CO2 levels that can can rise when you have a lot of people in the room. And so we're having to use certain protocols. And so I spoke to the representative with TEA safety and security and
037asked them, we've already asked them before. ask you to send us a letter uh to for that approval of what our protocols are and they not to go through all that immediately here but we have we have safety and security things that are in place. We have put an extra officer at the campus and we put those things in place so that when we need to we can have the air be washed out of the room and be able to get those CO2 levels down. Some of those items that have happened some of those items today. One of the classrooms went up a little over a thousand just slightly and came back down to six around the high 60s. That was a very dramatic drop compared to most rooms cuz most rooms when they drop
038it's going to be somewhere closer in the high 800s from 1200 800s to 9. It's a little bit slower drop. And guys, we're going off of gauges that we bought. These are not gauges that you're going to purchase as far as commercial grade gauges, but these are gauges that we bought every so that we can monitor excuse me. Thank you. So, we can monitor those those we can make sure that we have the best air quality for our students. My son goes there. I've had two complaints on campus as well. I we want to make sure that whatever we do, we're doing the things that can try to eliminate that CO2 as as best as possible. And this is the uh recommendation from the professionals who know how this is done. Finally, the last piece
039is I've also talked to Cambos engineering and galler engineering and they brought in another electrical or actually company to work with us as far as trying I'm sorry design a system if there if this let's say this repair this design takes longer coming in with a design that would allow us to do something in addition to to try to remove more CO2 levels so that we're not having to utilize the protocols as often so that's what we're also looking at as far as those options as well. I can't say that those things are going to actually come to pass as far as that, but they are looking at that and those are engineers that are looking at those options to try to bring us the best options for our students. So, if you have any
040questions, M. Yeah. So, I got a uh I got some questions from some of the campus administration. Um, and so I wanted to ask a few of those questions to Richie, so you can address them. I think some of them have kind of been addressed. But what happens if this does not fix the initial problem? So if it doesn't fix the initial problem, this piece I'm sorry, so what's done now? I think and I think you explained that there is another piece that's in engineering, right? Um, but what if let's just say what if that one doesn't doesn't work? Bring it down. If that piece does not work, I think We've got we got we have do not already have that other piece that we tal talking about bringing in something that will bring out
041CO2. It's more like putting in a miniature type exhaust type situation is what we're looking at and we're looking at some other options. I think the other option is for that campus is there needs to be a facility talked about as future planning and those pieces. We got 10 weeks left of school. I don't know right now as far as the district has as far as availability of building space. If we remove classrooms from some other campuses, those kind of things, there's still not a way to pull all those students out of that campus. I think there's people here that uh given the building disturbance and I know this one again has been answered. Not I got these prior to obviously speaking uh given the building disturbances the roof penetration and nonfunctioning damp dampers in
042the HVAC system will or have tests been conducted to ensure safety discusses carbon monoxide and mold what tests have been completed which are which are planned and when is the next test scheduled so like I said we had as those tests done last Friday, got the results on Saturday and so that air quality test has been done. As far as attach the air quality test that can be ordered right away, the piece that we were looking at doing was if they're able to start work over spring break. My recommendation would be to wait until that work is done because that would be intrusive to conceal and so we would need to be looking at having those tests done again during that time. Uh the last two tests have indicated but that we have done and
043all the actions that we've taken have indicated that there's no mold scores that there's no basically other things that are taking place that were there prior have been cleaned up and taken care of we also had systems that are in classroom and I believe that as test was done because of somebody that spoke up at our last board meeting and we appreciate those questions And we appreciate uh how will circulating the air affect the building's environment. Circulating air. Yes. Uh circulation of the air. So right now we have one room just more air. Definitely the more air that you have basically fresh air that's coming in from the outside the more probability that the CO2 level will go. Uh why isn't every classroom tested? When the the testing companies that come in, they select what
044classroom and they base that on how I guess how often that they test as far as how many they do per square footage. They typically look at the building and then they pick how many. So when they came in for the asbestos testing, they looked at how many classrooms and they only said you need about five tests. So that's how he asked I guess where the areas where they were cut. Um are the fire and police chiefs comfortable with the schools reopening and can we obtain their CO2 level readings? Do their results contradict those reported in the news or state results? Also to clarify who requested those state tests uh results shown by the media. So we're saying state test results, it's actually the Texas Association of School Boards that were taking the testing those
045tests that put those tests out there. Um but as far as the uh fire chief and the police chief, the very next day when we we met, I met with the police chief campus with our police chief. We walked in campus and we were looking at the things that we already had going on. We were already headed towards opening at that that point from the information that we were given. We had a phone conversation with the fire chief and the recommendation was as long as we get all of those items completed then we could reopen. And one of the reasons why that we ext extended it was because of the electrical issues from the storm when the storm went where's the documentation? So, so Maryland's got to revive. Okay. So, do their results contradict those
046that do are there any reports or any results that contradict those that we have? Are there any reports from the fire and police chief that contradict those that we were that we have in front of us? No, because when they came into the building that day, they utilized the devices that we had. They did So, have we received any reports that we can reopen? You've said that we don't have any documentation from them that contradict what we have or any sounds like any reports whatsoever from them basically to reopen. Is there any documentation on that? So the email span that I have is as long as we got that conversation that we had as long documentation that true emails going back and forth between myself and conversations that we've had. We have requested paper multiple
047times. [Music] If the repairs made fixed the problem, why would there still be a need for windows and doors to be opened? Are there still uh are there still any other suggestions if this does not fix the issue? Well, the suggestion is the uh design static pans that we're working on. We were already working on that piece that just takes a lot longer. When you say a static pan, I know just what I know as far as officer studies. I'm not expert, but my understanding of this is it takes some time. We have to measure them to make sure that the fan is the right size for what they're asking to do as far as pushing out the hairs and achieving what we're trying to do. It takes a little bit to that. That's why
048the gentleman that came to the campus yesterday was making taking measurements and they're going back and working on those measurements. What size? Is there documented proof confirming that the building is safe for occupancy? Um or will there be an out? So as far as documented proof, no provided the fire department or the uh police department but through the conversations that we had as far as we discussed this with him as far as the air quality. If we met all of those standards and we were able to maintain the air quality at a level that you can keep it down below, th000 then we would try a so that's why we have the protocols in place. One of the protocols is as that air quality starts to get starts approaching 900, then we start engaging some
049of the protocols and doing those things to help reduce uh our brand more. Okay. When the staff was there yesterday and and I apologize like I know I'm not going to answer everyone's questions, but I tried to get um as many questions as I could from the the teachers I thought were most important and from the public. as well. When the staff was there yesterday, were the doors and windows open at all? Yes. The whole time a couple minutes like how did that how did that play? So in order so in the morning when you have heat in your building CO2 rises typically more with heat and so when that heat is ramping up in your building in your system then that I'm sorry the heat heat system you have to open those doors up
050for that first portion of the morning so that way that the CO2 level doesn't climb as quickly. One of the things that we recognized and I think the campus has recognized before but we haven't had that temperature quite so high recently was that the front portion of the building where the sun was hitting us levels were starting to climb slightly more quickly and so then protocols had to be in place. Um but when we were working on we're going back when the teachers were there we did we were in the classroom for memory here but I think 25 minutes or so had open window so that amount of time that we would be trying to be very precise as far [Music] Hey. Uh, and I cleaned this one up a little bit, but I got
051this one uh from somebody. Why is the process and getting these items fixed taking so long? Well, when you look at the timeline on these items, we we find out the recommendation. We very quickly have engaged companies as far as trying to get those things. manufactured. Sometimes local companies, sometimes a local vendor was able to get to it faster. Sometimes the guy a company that was engaged with the construction was able to get to it faster. We have this day and age, sometimes it's just harder to get materials. A lot of times it's the waiting on the material to get here a lot more so than actually part. And so if it requires any parts that have to be ordered or shipped in, some of those parts uh may take time to get some of
052those pieces in. And so I think that's some of we did get some of these recommendations. So when you talk about the dampers, we had multiple HVAC people work this over the years and no one had ever picked up on the fact those dampers were not operating appropriately. The first evaluation that was done was not picked up. The second evaluation by engineer was picked up and so immediately that's when we engage the company to get that uh did you by chance have the definition of what an air dam is because I am not an AC guy so I'm just curious and this is [Music] off my understanding is that it opens up when the air conditioner turns on and then it closes back up and the reason that it opens up is so that you
053can let the fresh air as the system. So when I looked it up, it seemed like when an area needed more air, that's when they opened up and produced more air and those were not working. Sorry. Uh the other question that I forgot to write down is [Music] uh the other question that I forgot and I've seen over and over and over again and I looked in the documentation from the three engineers and I found my answer. However, a lot of people have asked, is it safe for my child to return to school? Um, now I know we don't have documentation yet like from after the fixes, right? But according to these these uh professionals that we have come to measure our parent, what does it say about the safety of our children? So, from
054each one of these reports, they're saying that the building is safe. Even though these levels are elevated and cause some irritating and other issues, they're they're saying that they're willing to say, but I also will say every parent has to make that evaluation for their child and make that decision upon what health issues are spoke earlier. They have to make those decisions based upon what what going on with their child. But as of right now, as far as the reports, as far as these reports, E3 campos talking other professionals, they feel that the building is safe. Uh the these levels are higher. The surprising part of this is is CO2 levels. How many of you really think about how how often we heard of this it's probably we might be alarmed other places how high
055CO2 levels may get that we don't aren't even aware I think that being aware of it is great they want to address it and want to make sure that it's addressed but that's not something that everybody traditionally looks at and has so I think that's something getting more aware of it and we're trying to make sure that we address it the right way. Okay, I'm finished with my questions. I just want to make one statement. The reason we ran these reports as a school board is because of you and y'all came to our school board and you said something's wrong. Can you check it out? Okay. The reason that we ran the asbestous test before returning to school after this weekend was because somebody came and asked that question. We hear you and we want
056to hear you more. Our school board meetings are every month. We all love your children. Care deeply for them. [Applause] Can you hear me now? I just have a question. So um these plans don't work out and we have to do something next year to not be in that school. Do you have a plan for that uh place to go? I provided the board last month. There was three that gave three plans or three options. U we've actually looked at quotes for potential uh cost as far as if we work together. This is not it's just one of the options but if we were to add portable classrooms uh for our space but we look at multiple options to try to make sure that we have a that plan needs to be developed soon it
057needs to be developed fairly soon because it doesn't happen overnight if we're going to do that. [Music] All right. Our next item on the agenda, consulting close session is 7:25.
