001order our uh uh school district for board meeting for Monday March 10th uh to order and I'll start with roll call Stacy here Travis here Mary here Matt here Ashley here Larry here and was the meeting properly noticed the meeting was properly noticed can I get a motion to adopt the agenda so moved second all in favor I I any opposed oppose and will stand and do the Pledge of Allegiance I pled aliance to the flag of the United States of America to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible withy and jusice for all thank you well tonight we're going to start out with our Spotlight and learning and we have Pewaukee Lake Elementary here tonight to present for us hello Brian hi good evening how's everyone doing good good good

002um well I know they're a bit shy but I do have some people with me this evening um we're going to be focusing on um our math data days which were the first time that we did this uh this year so previously you guys have heard about our district writing assessment days where three times throughout the year each grade team met with our literacy coach Carrie roli they went through writing data they're able to observe in other classrooms plan for student growth in writing we never really had time uh or had the capacity to do it for math um so we changed some of the structures for our district writing assessment days um and we cleared out one day so that we could do um math Daya days for the first time we also included

0034K in it uh for the first time so our purpose for doing days like this um is a foster meaningful conversation between teachers in a grade level and our academic um learning coaches an opportunity to see other classrooms learn vertically as well as from each other um and have a built-in consistent time with our coaches where they can learn together they can ask questions they can plan together all folks around student achievement and how to help kids move forward um so we're going to hear from our coaches Tara MCM and Nicole eert about the coaching side of it what uh made a difference to them the way they approached it then we've got three teachers here as well Karen merski Jen Simon um and Sarah zarak and they're going to talk about the teacher perspective

004of what their experience was like um before we kind of share General feedback uh that we had from the day all right well thanks for having us um so we administer the comprehensive growth assessment also called the CGA three times a year um and that assessment it's looking for end of the grade level expectations for end of the year expectations for both fluency and problem solving um so on there we had our teachers come in and they took open up their data wall and they took a look at their fall scores and their winter scores and had a chance to reflect on their student growth and proficiency we also asked them to make a note of any students that were not yet proficient and told them that as the day went on um after we

005did observations they'd have time to like put together like a targeted plan for that to address those students needs um we also talked about um any common themes we were seeing among the grade level and then also took time to like celebrate the significant growth we'd already seen from the fall to the winter um from there we went and observed in classrooms so we decided this time that we were going to go to the grade level ahead of us so for example second grade was able to walk over to Horizon and see the third grade classrooms we allotted about 30 minutes for this so they were able to go into about two to three classrooms and take a look we gave them some look forwards or guidelines to look at as they were walking through

006the rooms maybe looking at the teacher practice student engagement or even just the structure of how the teacher maybe form groups or the setup of the day um so after that we came back and then we had an opportunity to debrief if the classroom teachers that we observed were available they came back and our teachers were able to ask them questions um to about their practice or strategies they used so we were able to take away a lot of good learning and things that they were able to apply into their work time later on and Tara is going to talk a little bit more about that planning time that happened after the observation thank you so now that the teachers had the opportunity to really dig into their classroom data and observe other classrooms in

007action they were given time to choose a small group of students that they wanted to intentionally plan for in order to support our teachers with that Nicole and I created a resource guide that was personalized per grade level we really wanted to have be efficient with our time and so we took the resources and trainings that we've provided for our teachers and combined them into a comprehensive guide for them to use not only for the small group they selected for that day but potentially a resource for us to continue using moving forward specific things that we included on that resource guide was Advantage math recovery or avmr our teachers have been trained in avmr and so it was bringing back some of those trainings and that knowledge that really focuses on the foundation of number

008sense and fluency another resource that we included in that guide was certainly our elementary math curriculum Bridges but we were really careful about the activities that we chose so that they could be differentiated to meet the very needs of teachers Learners and then finally a supplemental resource that Bridges provides for us is called Bridges intervention and so we highlighted pieces of that Intervention Program for our teachers and that's really for targeted instruction to support our Learners so we we received very positive feedback from this resource that we provided for them not only because it has links that they can access but also because Nicole and I were able to Model A lot of these activities you'll hear from the teachers now a little bit about their experience from the day and as they're talking we'll

009show a few pictures that provide a glimpse of what that day looked like these were just some of the photos of teachers getting together everyone go through yep these were some of um I think Shelley reallyy was in a second grade classroom so this is showing how teachers were able to go and do that vertical leap up into the grade ahead of us just seeing kids doing what kids do so it was nice um as a 4K teacher just being involved in that this year 4K doesn't do dwa so it was great for us to have this opportunity so just some resources that we were doing so um the biggest takeaway we took from this day um in 4k we talk to each other all the time but it's usually we're talking about literacy we're

010talking about math we're talking about behaviors we're talking about all different kinds of things so this was a day to truly focus on math so um the great thing about the day was going ahead and seeing how kindergarten teached or taught for us um we do number Corner every day and I see their math thinking and so it was wonderful to go into 5K and it's like wow like this is what they were thinking last year and they are really expounding on what they're learning the next year so um that was I don't know it was great to see how number Corner Advanced from year to year um we got to um speak with just the coaches we do that a lot um when we have our um Team meetings with them but it gave

011us an opportunity to to really think about what our data was showing and they gave us kind of specific resources that we could use for those um those kids that just needed a little extra so that was really I don't know it was helpful even for our peers just the teachers on my team that we weren't thinking about anything else but math and their student needs so um I hope we do this again next year um 4K loved being a part of it we kind of went in not knowing what to expect from it and came out like feeling really good about it so um we're kind of thankful that Brian and coaches and everybody put that together so and I'll piggy back a little bit off of what Karen said about the opportunities to

012see the vertical alignment going from second into third grade classrooms I got to observe some of my former students interacting with the curriculum with different teach teachers I could see how structures that were really similar in my classroom were tweaked in a one way or another that could have given opportunities or lent themselves to different learning styles in ways that I didn't imagine um through my second grade Lun so that was really great to see the vertical alignment but for me this day was most powerful because it gave that opportunity to look through data um we're very data driven in terms of our instruction and I have excuse me I struggle with um analysis paralysis sometimes there's so much information that we gather on students that it's difficult to make that like just right in

013the- moment decision about what a kiddo needs next and so this day gave me the opportunity to work with my co-workers and coaches to really determine what was my priority for that next right step for kiddos um and what other resources could I use beyond what our traditional um curriculum sort of provides um the biggest piece for me was um just kind of with our mission with opening the door to um all kids futures um here's a picture of um ways I went back to 4K and created and took um a bunch of the 4K game boards and then being able to use a variety of cards to help um all Learners in my classroom and then um on the opposite end we had a simple game like treasure hunt where we um just dug

014a little deeper into the um a the avmr and found um like counting by twos counting by fives counting by 10 so I had five different levels per se just based off of the cards could use the same game boards um so everything looks you know everything looks the same but there's so much differentiation in just the cards that you use or um the kind of the uh the ways that you play with the cards so that was the biggest um piece for me so they uh they did a survey afterwards and these are just a few of the comments that we have up here you can see that teachers really appreciate the time to spend with each other the time with the coaches being able to see other classrooms uh getting time to plan

015for those small groups you know we um we have such limited time in a day to be able to have teachers spend considerable time together um trying to meet the needs of the kids in their classroom uh to move them forward um so much to what uh Karen to we plan on doing this again next year we thought it was a really great use of time um and just a little preview of our next Spotlight we're always looking for which area of the building we um aren't spending enough time with for them to collaborate together so when we're back for our last Spotlight we're going to uh highlight a time that special ed teachers uh got a chance to plan on the literacy side of things together we made a couple days for them to

016be subbed out to do some work together so really trying to find out different ways of making sure that we are getting the right people in the right room at the right time so they can uh plan forward so any any questions I have a general one so who was able partip so we had um Everybody 4K through second grade was able to participate even the special education teachers were able to participate in this one yeah we subed them out um so we did because grade levels are anywhere from 8 to 10 we split a grade level up in half so we had like five people subbed out in the morning five people subbed out in the afternoon to do a full grade level uh for a full day would be quite a nightmare so

017we we split them up in half so we can go half and half at first I thought it was a PD day and oh right um and you know that speaks to the importance of doing days like this where you can see Kids In Action you can talk to kids about it um and when we do our dwa days we try to mix up the group so the same people aren't planning together on those half days they're subbed out we can mix and match um throughout so we try to be aware of who's been in a group before and how do we how do we change that up I love how um going to a grade above helped to validate your work and with our writing ones they do one day where they go um

018the grade above and then they do another one where they do go to the grade below so they can see what sort of skills are developing there that they can then carry on with and um we got to look at next year are we going to do the grade below grade above mix and match how we want to do it here have to say I went into a class that had a lot of my former students and I was like wow you have really grown any you know we're not playing with our shoes anymore thinking about like math thinking so it was really fun to see that that's the foundation you laid Yeah so Brian can you go back up to the previous slide for one second so you have the comment in there where

019it says always love to see new and innovative ways to teach skills for all levels of our students so any other races or things they try things to try are helpful do any of you have anything that you can share with us that would relate to that in other words what are some of those innovative ways to teach skills and then if you could tie that into anything you might have seen in terms of one of your original objectives was uh to focus on student achievement and how to meet the needs of all uh Learners any connections to yeah I can go back to this picture when Jen was talking about how she took something from 4K uh to bring it up to her classroom know you anything else to add yeah we I had

020some mic oh sorry um I had some new students that were new to PL so they weren't able to see and have the experience with the um 4K Bridges so really pulling these because it is such a scaffolding curriculum um to be able to pull those games and give them that base before teaching like the kindergarten curriculum was really helpful and then keeping the game boards and just switching out the cards that you use like the 10 frames or the five frames fres um adding maybe two together instead of just one or once they once they level up so I think it's just digging into the resources and finding creative ways so that you are touching all Learners so same same resources but then just kind of digging a little bit deeper either going to

021the 4K or going to first grade to differentiate so along those somebody's going to El to jump in I can figy back off that a little bit um remembering that sometimes we have new staff coming in so when we talk about new and Innovative it doesn't always mean that it's brand new it might be new to them and so I think it's these days provide a really helpful time for us to review what we already know sometimes that feels new so I referen the avmr training you know sometimes our teachers haven't been trained in a few years in that but bringing those resources back out and talking about how they can meet student needs it's a reminder of oh yeah that's right we have the treasure hunt that's right we can differentiate that many different

022ways um what Jen was talking about with the workplace is if I'm a kindergarten teacher I really know kindergarten Bridges well Bridges has a wonderful progression of how students learn mathematics so you can look at 4K resources and that might be a helpful uh way to meet needs in 5K or first grade simp similarly when we're looking to extend students we can also if I'm a kindergartener or a kindergarten teacher I can look at first grade workplaces and see if those are going to be a good fit our resource does a fantastic job it provides assessment and differentiation charts for us for every workplace so we have look fors when we're sitting with students that give us these ways to either level up uh the activity or provide some more support so I think that

023new and Innovative while I don't know specifically who said that I do think we heard you know multiple comments of the reminder of what we have been trained in the resources that we have at our fingertips and we don't need to keep looking for more let's really dig into what we have does that answer again oh yeah that's good also your role as a coach it means you're going in and working with the teachers on an ongoing basis as well and students m so it's it's you know students and teacher you know we work alongside one another is there anything that's been hard or challenging for you as teachers to do what you're doing and or to to adopt these new and innovative ways to teach skills for all levels of students and I'm emphasizing

024the all levels of students by the way um I I can speak to that a bit my class this year has a different makeup then my classes previous years did and so for me what the structures for how I would interact with kids in small groups and what kids would be working on independently when they weren't with me that feels very different this year than previous years so um I think when you're talking about what's difficult for teachers these days actually help alleviate some of that difficulty because I was able to go in and see the different structures that teachers use still delivering the curriculum but what does that look like with all different Learners and it gave some reassurance into the changes that I'd made to my own practices for this year but then

025also the reminder that every year will look a little bit different does that answer your question at all yes how many how many years have you been here as a teacher and when did you graduate from Pewaukee I decline to answer the second question this is my 15th year here wow I was going to say the collaboration is so important because each one comes with their own specific gifts and um background knowledge and I think that when you bring that all together to all the Educators it's a gift not only to the teachers but more importantly to our students so I think it's great Sarah I could have asked you to compare and contrast your learning back in the day when you were here to what you're doing now as a teacher right I don't

026remember but you are a successful graduate of W Madison though right so her High School social studies experience was her High School social studies experience was was really weak inspiration for her to become a teacher right yes well yeah sure I'll take I'll take credit for that I would just like to compliment you all this is exemplary uh professionalism this is teaching is so complex I love What Sarah Said kids change every year you get you know the same set of tools that worked last year won't necessarily work for your the group that you have this year and uh and what Tara described the value of going up and below and being able to to meet that range of uh Learners that you have in front of you um and just the um professional learning

027your commitment to improving your your craft because it is really complex work I don't think people realize how complex teaching is um and to kind of always always be learning and improving is just so important so I really commend all of you for your commitment to your own professional growth and our kids are the beneficiaries so thank you yeah and I I I want to add that you know sometimes there's the question like what can we do to improve um we have been meeting with a group of uh administrators and coaches to review our curriculum renewal process and one of the opportunities for improvement is really making sure that we vertically align um from grade level to grade level and this is an outstanding example of how you can help um getting teachers into classrooms

028to make sure there is that alignment from second grade to third grade to fourth grade so great work I have a question what does sub out mean uh we get sub teachers to take the place of the classroom teachers so they can be at the professional development are they outside of the school pool the substitute teachers yes uh they're they're brought in through teachers on call uh who's the organization that we contract with thank you thank you thanks everyone appreciate your time all right next we have Natalie and Anna with your report okay so it's already March it's crazy when me and Anna went started to do this I was like no way this school year is fine by so we're just going to highlight some things um in February that happened in early March

029as well um the first thing we wanted to highlight was a help Squad event that occurred um in on Valentine Day this year it was our first annual let's talk about mental health event um it was held at the um boys varsity game on Valentine's Day we had a booth with a bunch of resources from mental health associations in the area tunami and WellPoint um we did t-shirt sales um we did activities in trivia for kids which was really well received we had a lot of kids come running up to shoot some hoops we had a basketball hoop um but they were also learning about all the great things that our school is doing to support them with their mental health um we had a student voices resource for parents and adults in our community

030which is that poster it's kind of hard to see um in the middle picture but it was basically we sent out a survey to all of our hope Squad um members we all got to fill out things we wish adults or parents in the community knew about mental health um it was really well received we had um not just peuke families come up to us and talk to us about it but we also had um parents from the visiting schools they were extremely impressed with all the great ways P High School is supporting their students um I talked to one mom for quite a while and she was like are you sure you guys are in a private school you have so many awesome resources I was like no we just have an awesome District

031that supports us with all these resources um so just very impressed and I've mentioned hope Squad before but we've had a lot of great growth this year and this is one of the because we have such such a big team we're able to do events like this now where we can get support from our community and just it was a really great night and we had a lot of great support from the community which is great um the second event we've touched on uh I just wanted to highlight the PE prom which is also a first annual thing um it was created it was created by three pla staff members so a huge shout out to Sarah tobinson Katie kinsky and Lisa Seager um it was a night of fun for students and their families

038acronym basically it's focused on student rights and focusing on making it's a nonpartisan group we're focused just on letting students know their rights in their school and all the great ways that students can get involved in their Community when it comes to knowing their rights and things like that um earlier this year I went to a conference in Milwaukee with ACLU um which was a bunch of different ACLU in our area coming together to learn from professional about knowing their rights when it comes to talking with police officers different things like that it is a nonpartisan group and it's a chapter was started by a couple students I will look up that acronym right now it stands for the American civil liberties Union yes thank you so yep National thing how many members do you

039have here that I'm going to have to Ballpark I would say probably 30 students are involved from all grade levels um yeah yeah it's grown over the past couple years when I first started as a sophomore there was probably like 10 people but we've had good growth over the last couple of years thank you yeah of course well thank you gals that was a wonderful report next we have salutes and recognitions and I'm going to started off I too went to Mom Mia I want to thank Mr sens the student students the staff fofa it really okay so I love ABA music so you're speaking my language but um it was really a great production um and really it was um quite an advanced I mean it was a lengthy production there there was a

040lot to it for those students and just when you thought they were done they came out with this great rendition of waterl and I was just almost high so that was great um so I just can't say enough I I think that um our staff and students students s like did a wonderful job on that as you girls said I really want to recognize our boys and girls basketball teams um their season did come to an end this weekend but really you know what it it's not about winning or losing it's about how you play the game and and when I look at our students I am so proud of how they conduct themselves at every game they play and um I think that's really the important part right it's the attitude and what we

041project um for our district when we're out there playing those games so Kudos anybody else have any Sol so tonight at our business Affairs meeting uh we got our annual nursing report for the nursing Services um and the the way that we run our program I think is so well done um and for us to have a nurse in every building we talked about that that is just not really heard of anymore in school districts um um and the number of visits is like 7500 is that annual an annual basis um so I just want to give um a salute to our nursing staff and Colin for the we do on a daily basis to keep our kids safe I want to second that Stacy you know it used to be back in the day

042School nurses took temperatures and handed out aspirin our School nurses now do catheterizations tube feed meetings advanced nursing skills are required of them and I just I can't say thank you enough to our entire staff for what they do every day they shared a story that we have a student who's been hospitalized for a length amount of time and the mom called and wanted to to talk to you know she said first of all she said is there a nurse in the building I said yeah all the time and she couldn't believe that that child is to Fed it's called to Fed right nose and she said yeah we can we can take care of that and the mom was so grateful because she said now that I can go back to work and my

044I I just wanted to give one to our PL music teachers Miss py and Miss buyer so we're in the middle of concert season and this year I went to two I went to 5K in second grade and I think there's another one yet this week There's a 4K concert but it amazes me every year that you can get 1005 cares or four cares to stand there in unon and not run away you know they impressive in Unis and play instruments it's super impressive so shout out to them awesome anyone else Administration do have anything today I just uh I don't think we did it previously but um Lisa Seager Sarah torbin and KY krinsky who uh came up with the pla prom um I think that was very well received by those parents to

045have that opportunity with their kids and I think we had some weather that night that they had to adjust for we had uh snowstorm coming in so they kind of shortened it a little bit but were able to make it happen and it was um kind of a neat event it's just great to see our passionate teachers who um have enough work to do already but then they choose to um add tasks to their plate just because they want experiences for kids to be special so like to recognize those three teachers how did they raise the funds I yeah they were doing flower sales and yeah was there concessions I think did they get something from PTO maybe um they might have got some money from PTO I I I just curious my middle-age brain's

046failing me because I knew where they got some of the money at one point but yeah I was just curious yeah what is I think you said p l prom yes P Rom yes so for our um elementary kids the teachers came up with doing a a prom at pakul Lake Elementary for the little kids and what they did which was really kind of neat is um it was really a a parents taking their kids to prom thing um and it was uh you know they got dressed up and um they did the thing these days is prom posals uh where like the kids in high school will do these kind of elaborate prom posals when they ask each other and so they encourage parents to do those with their own kids just to make

047it special so it was that kind of a thing and then they had I think it was a student from Horizon helped DJ the event MH uh for them as well so if you could just elaborate a little bit more what happens when they get there what and what is the mix yeah it's a dance like if it's kind of if you've ever seen like a daddy daughter dance or a mother Sun dance it was kind of like that with our um with our earliest elementary students um there was some food and refreshments there was a picture station where they could take pictures with their kids it was just a a fun celebratory event with their kids kids thank you yep all right um Tammy do we have any comments from citizens no comments from

048citizens okay next consent agenda um we're accepting the minutes from previous meetings uh the February 10th business Affairs the February 10th regular board meeting and the February 17th learning session correspondence which is included in your packet and we once again got some wonderful gifts um [Music] $2,750 was received from the Jean Haw Foundation a th000 from Power test and 1,500 from Caliber Collision all were donated to the high school robotics Club so thank you thank you once again for our community just being so gracious um to give funds to our school programs um so if I can get a motion to accept the consent agenda move to accept the consent agenda as presented second all in favor I I any oppos oppose next business Affairs Stacy all right so we had our meeting as I

049mentioned before we had the nurses come in and give the Services review which was very informative and impressive um we talked about our check register had a few uh questions there and then went over the the financial um report we have we're still sitting at like 46% for revenues collected expenses about 53% um everything is tracking close to budget uh we did find out that our special ed reimbursement from the state is going to be like 29.2% versus the 33% as we had hoped and heard uh so that's going to create about an $80,000 shortfall um and then the other one that's running a little higher is our substitute teacher expenses um there's been 25 children born in our district by our staff so um the substitute teaching expenses is running High um but when

050in May we'll be able to move money from the budgeted salary dollars into that fund so it's not something that we can't um afford but it's just in the wrong bucket right now for Budget purposes so our staff's helping keep schools in business yeah yeah yeah I tell you I think you should test the water so um yeah anything you want to add John yeah the only other item that we discussed was the on the construction progress up to date uh we were at about just short short of $1.8 million spent to date from the start of the construction project uh we're a little slightly behind what we had projected over a year ago as being the pace of expenditures on the project um that ultimately results in having higher interest earnings than what we

051had projected also for the for the project as we stand at the end of February Stacy could you repeat um what are the percentages on the reimbursement so uh we had hoped for 33% and it looks like it's going to come in closer to 29.2 so about $80,000 shortfall so so along those lines when you hear about advocacy and you hear the phrase some certain versus some sufficient um the state planed for 33% at a some certain approach which means the state's contribution was certain and so what if the if the needs are greater then the amount of reimbursement is less if it's some sufficient then you get you would get 33% regardless of the cost so if you hear I just wanted to jump on that to say if you hear those two terms

052that's why 33% ends up 29% because it's a su certain instead of a sums sufficient does anyone have any questions first Daisy or John all right then I'll take a motion motion to accept the business Affairs report as presented second all in favor I I any opposed abstain all right next we move on to new business first we have um a facility projects update and a progress report so I'd like to welcome our team here from epin and we're going to have uh three components to this report uh first epin youan with Katie and mlan to give you a little brief of where that design is at right now and and the phases we talked about coming back to the board as each phase was completed in the process second then CG Schmidt will be

053able to give us an idea of what is what is the cost of where we're at and how has that progressed through time as the process has been developed through each of those first four St ages of the construction process up to where we are now leading up to the next action on the agenda which will be the the guaranteed maximum price which is our contract Amendment with our builder for what is our me our exposure on on the project the third piece of the presentation will be myself and John stangler with the owner projects we had five owner projects that were also part of this referendum proposal we'll give you a status report on where those are from a timing standpoint okay Katie it's all right hi everyone Katie with eua good to see

054you all again um uh as John mentioned we're going to give a little design update on where things stand um if you remember um back in September I think of last year when we last presented to you all just after schematic design and update on where things stood um and this is the plan has really stayed very similar to where it was back in September um and it really is a reflection of The Guiding principles that we established in the visioning of this project um and those were uh flexibility accessibility uh visibility inter interdepartmental collaboration um increasing curiosity and increasing participation and then engaging Community um industry Partners um and how that translates to our design and our plan today is really a hub and spoke model so I know the plan is kind of

055hard to see um but in the middle of the addition is the Innovation Hub and then off of that are uh the various other steam programs um the goal being that all of those programs feed into the Innovation Hub and The Innovation Hub is both visible and accessible from um the the primary Corridor north south Corridor within the school and then visible to the public um and so it really gets a lot of exposure both into internally and externally and so that how is how the plan uh was developed and designed and you will see that as kind of a thread as you see some of the imagery um so first let's look at the exterior um so all of the different programs that came into this building on the on the west Edition have

056different uh volumetric requirements um which as a result um we use to leverage to break up the long West facade that the addition creates um we also leverag this to as an opportunity to integrate daylight into the center of the building so you'll notice in this um in in this rendering um you're looking from uh the north looking Southeast um and in the center is the main Innovation Hub and it's intentionally stands out and you'll notice that um there's some glazing on the North side um that gets daylight into the center of the building so really taking advantage of um the volumetric change and program to get daylighting into the M middle of the building um and then we clad these different volumes in um materials that are present throughout the campus so uh brick

057uh pre-cast um throughout and using the colors and tones that are in the existing building we're using them in a little bit more of a modern way so it's you'll see a more monochromatic aesthetic versus kind of the varying layers um and that's kind of uh most akin to your most recent additions on whether that's the North Face of the high school or ASA Clark um it kind of relates to that in terms of the aesthetic approach um we also integrated some unique features in terms of the exterior um that really are representative of the program um and function of the building itself so um we have these uh steel frames on the exterior of the windows that are are welded steel frames that really represent the welding that's occurring Within in um the manufacturing

058portion of the program uh so this is another view looking from the south looking Northeast so you'll see again the varying um volumes of the different programmatic pieces um the material choices that reflect that brick over here is matching some of the brick over here um the color tones in um the pre-cast Fitness area are um relating to the pre-cast gym on the um Eastern portion um so using kind of that material as the thread threaded language from old to new um and then walking through the space um as I mentioned um the primary goal uh of the whole project was to make uh the steam programs more visible and accessible um really increasing participation and so in the design of the building although we were dealing with some challenging existing conditions um we intentionally

059created this curved Corridor um that makes the termin of the corridor as you're walking from uh north to south um The Innovation Hub so right here where I'm pointing is a large glass garage door um that will remain open most of the day um that allows visibility and accessibility to that new Innovation Hub so rather than being kind of tucked away and hidden as it is today it is really front and center and on display um and then some of the material choices and leading you there are very akin to what you're seeing right above you um using some of the materials that have been used in the more recent editions continuing that language from what we're we're doing um in in this Edition to to the new edition um then walking into the Innovation

060Hub uh this is that tall volume space that's really on uh on front center display from the football field um so we have a a large uh volume space um that within it are several zones as you enter from the um that that main Terminus we just looked at there's really a kind of 3D printer uh area that really showcases some of the high-tech areas of the Innovation Hub and then as you walk further west in the space um we have a woodworking area that's immediately accessible off of the 3D art space so 3D art can use it really kind of emphasizing that inter disciplinary or interdepartmental collaboration and then those who are in the Innovation Hub can also use that equipment um so really giving kind of um exposure to to to multiple students

061doing multiple things at one time and then there are also some various other zones like this is a little classroom area outside of the woodworking space um so that it can function also as a usable space um and and in addition to having students pass through for various um programs um walking into Project Lead the Way uh which is also off of the in inovation Hub and off of the main Corridor um we are looking from south to North you'll notice on the right side um lots of Windows into the corridor again the idea of putting all of these programs on display to inspire curiosity um so you can see the 3D printers there there's several screens in this area to um enable group work students can pull move these uh Island tables up to

062a screen um to work together in groups um it can also function in a traditional lecture format but really um encouraging that group work um Project based learning um next we're going to walk into the construction area um we have uh a tall volume space in the construction area and one of the primary drivers for this space was to have a lot of large open space to enable students to build small structures um and leave them in place and not have to take them down um or be able to immediately move them outside of the building so you'll notice the large glass garage door immediately adjacent to that so students can build things and move them out um very easily um and then lastly uh walking into the fitness center um we uh designed the

063space intentionally to um really project school spirit so uh lots of uh graphics and um um colors to represent um the school spirit with with throughout um also intentionally organizing the space so that cardio equipment faces out towards the football field capturing those views for cardio activity and weights in the center it also has um direct access to the multi-purpose Center which is right to the east of this um to have that ability to flex between the the fitness space and that multi-purpose multi-use space that covers the design are there any questions I have one sure um The Commons classro Mac lab Graphics yes like are those spaces being untouched um no so um let me go back what spaces did you ask so I don't know nor South East W I'm sorry the top

064of our top of diagram yep um so right now uh the uh going from south to North um the existing 2D art and 3D art spaces right here are being transformed into the new graphics lab so we didn't really touch on on those in the presentation but those are being renovated and converted and then um the current Graphics lab is being converted into a classroom and then um it's larger than needed for a classroom so then just outside of that will be a common space with a small conference room off off of that okay and then the culinary and obviously culinary is because it's not culinary right now so that's going to be yep so those three uh special ed classrooms are being converted into the new culinary space and the driver for that was

065the current culinary space is too small um for the demand um and this uh gives it a lot more visible presence and exposure in that primary North South Corridor um and so it's not indicated on here but the the current culinary is also being lightly renovated now into a life skills space so that is those are otherr and the new one will be much more commercial style kitchen versus the one we have now is more domestic the residential yeah okay so that culinary area can you just give me a point of reference where right right off the cafeteria okay that hallway that comes down so this is multiple clro awesome so you'll have that looking in essence right out onto the will be Windows there too yep is the culinary is that a precursor to

066creating chefs yeah so we have a um the proart program which is um leads into industry um so Hospitality tourism uh culinary Fields certainly be they they get certifications if they want to go work in the industry through that so it's high school yes what would be the reason that we're not using WCTC which has a huge program uh this feeds 600 yards from us go ahead yeah this this uh we do work with WCTC and Anthony feel free to jump in but we'll have kids that go from this to more advanced programs it'll it feeds into the WCTC programs so we do use that as well our students attend there yeah and that'll actually be a topic tonight not specific to their culinary programming but when kids take prerequisite classes or when there are

067classes not offered that are not equivalent to our courses here they can take courses at WCTC so there if we wanted to say all of our culinary students we're just going to have them send them to wct see there would be a cost associated with that um whereas now if they want to take classes here there it can be covered but they cannot be comparable to a course that we offer you're building a whole facility for them to do it here we have a we have a very strong existing colonary program that that needs a larger space so that they they can advance to more of a kind of commercial training than right now is more training for residential right well that's what caught my attention because that's what WCTC does I think I've had

068some meals over there what is the proportion of the John of the uh budget for this project that goes to this piece don't know off hand we'd have to follow ballpark I couldn't tell you thank you thank you as a parent of three graduates um they took the um culinary classes as someone that wanted just to get basic culinary experience not something where they would want to go to wcgc so it's a good offering for a large number of students to have that facility in the school okay hi good evening uh Michael detri I'm a project executive with CG Schmidt uh some know me from the last referendum here um I'll be presenting along with Jason vges he's the senior project manager on this project um for the construction agenda we just wanted to briefly

069touch on the budget the history of the budget uh which was quite remarkable I think that uh through the last year that we've been working on that uh touch on the guaranteed maximum price real quick Jason we'll talk about the phasing diagram and how we phase things and why it kind of makes sense um and then talking Jason will also talk about the construction schedule and what you can expect to see in the next couple months moving forward all right so uh pre-referendum we we started with a conceptual design that kind of keyed into the 28.5 million and that was construction cost uh the Capital Improvement projects and uh some owner soft cost uh since that referendum passed the cour team meeting which consisted of a number of members of the Pew School District uh

070Epstein uitt and CG Schmidt uh we've been uh meeting to bring this project to reality um during the schematic design this I I call this like the big thinking phase like think big so it Incorporated all the needs and the wants and obviously going through that process we kind of knew we would be over budget so after the schematic design phase uh we were about $2.3 million over that uh total budget uh so we had some work to do uh the second phase um you know the design involved as as we moved uh on uh estimates became more precise um we did uh refine the overall addition um we locked into a square footage for the addition as well as uh the renovations inside the building and then we included uh you know bid packages

071uh we brought on the pre-caster early so that we could lock them in and get pre-cast early this spring so that we could you know really push the construction and and get the building up much quicker than initially planned um we also had uh bit out the site work last I guess late summer so that we could get that teacher lot back in the back area is you know to alleviate some of the parking for the students over at the concession area so through that process we were about to we were knocked off about a million dollars uh so we're getting there but we still had work to do um so the time frame between uh the design development and the construction documents that came out in December uh we went through this cost control

072analysis um that's where we really carefully adjusted material use and uh Aesthetics so some of the like the windows that kitty was talking about we minimized some of those and and changed some materials around and you know through that process uh we were able to save some dollars we did also uh establish some alternates for some of that remodel space so some of the existing culinary that was an alternate the graphics was an alternate some of the other spaces were some alternates and that was just to ensure that when we did go out to bid that the numbers that came in uh were at that budget or below so um you know that entire process the court team worked diligently uh to provide a design that met the needs of the district and with everything

073that we did was enhancing that student experience uh guarantee maximum price um the construction documents came out in December we went out to the Contracting Community we went out for bid um got those bids back in uh January started evaluating those we looked at all the bids we had great bid coverage uh four to five in most categories seven or eight in some so they really came out supported this project um and why not great Community uh great district and really great design um so we started uh looking at that kind of comparing Apples to Apples bringing contractors on board and through that process uh we settled in on a guaranteed maximum price of 18 roughly 8.67 million and what that means is that the GMP construction cost will not exceed that and any and

074all savings similar to that last referendum we did goes directly back to the district um the best news is that through this process and all of those bids that we've got we ended up being about a million million two underneath that existing construction that original construction budget so again that was just the community coming out the contractors coming out and really giving us really good pricing so uh we're really excited for the next phase construction get me there where's my little your pointed yeah I don't know that one all right we go where's that little pointer all right uh diving into the uh phasing diagram and so forth we put a lot of work into this a lot of collaboration uh between some of your team members and all our team members as well uh

075with this scope of project being so widespread throughout the school we want to make sure that we didn't impact the students any more than we had to uh kids are hard enough to teach disruptions construction my eyes were out the window all the time so I get it going through here um with our processes our phase one down here in the bottom corner uh we looked at this as an opportunity to get started that we can go about it unseen for the most part it's not going to imp impact any students right now uh so we thought that was a great place to start thankfully Mother Nature has been on her side so far this year the Frost has gone so we actually started the construction out there now uh from there we chose to

076go up into phase two which is large steam area reason that we've got that is uh phase two we've got the demo on that the mass demo taking place over spring break that way we're not shaking the building causing disruptions and so forth and it gets us to tie that out in time as well in the summer we're going to be concentrating on The Culinary space uh once culinary has started there we've got phase four then after that the over here that'll take place after that after the existing culinary moves into the new culinary it opens the space up so we can start in there to go with the life skills and also the teacher launch up here on phase five we've obviously with the uh the art the 3D art 2D art and everything

077else it's got to move into phase two here uh we've got to get phase two done before that can slide once that slides down into the new building we'll be able get into this space and kick that off uh phase six the people that are in there right now with Graphics those guys are going to slide down into the area of area five so we've kind of got to take things you know one step at a time so we're not kicking the students out of the school completely while we're doing our work right now schedule-wise we're looking at phase one which is the new multi-purpose and fitness room with locker rooms as well look looking to have that completed by the end of August to turn over for the 2025 2026 school year um during

078we're while we're working on that phase um we are going to be in phase two here uh where the existing Fitness room is that'll be moving into the auxiliary gym we're taking half that gym to slide all that fitness equipment into there to make sure the kids still have a place to work out because everybody knows the sports nowadays you've got to go 100% you're round on otherwise you're not going to make it we're planning on turning that area uh that Phase 2 area over by the end of the year sometime around Christmas which will allow us then to jump in to uh the other areas going forward here um in summer of 25 is when we're looking at jumping into the culinary area and then when that's done we're planning having that turned over

079by the end of summer as well so that they're able to start utilizing that space once we get them in there we can take over into phase four with the new life skills area along with Teachers Lounge and phases five and six on the top of the sheet um those areas there we're looking at taking those as far as starting demo pretty much right at the end of 2025 and then moving into 20 26 we're planning on having both of those spaces there cleaned up and turned over right now our uh end date on having everything completed is April 1 it's not because it's April Fool's Day what you'll be seeing right now going forward is we've got construction taking place all there right now they've started excavations out on the south end of the

080building you'll see the V continue with concrete trucks pulling in they'll be starting to pour footings foundations you they'll see see cranes coming in starting to set pre-cast they'll be setting steel bar joist moving into enclosure with Windows Doors and so forth being put onto the building as well so in the next three months here you're going to see a lot of stuff change any questions or comments and you're the on-site person for the project right yes you don't have to look at mic every day come on right anything else thank you thank you uh just to look ahead as we start I'll finish his slide with him uh looking ahead at what those areas are going to be in some of the phases some of the individual items you'll have those you have them

081in your presentation right now as far as what what will be happening and when it'll be happening so as part of the project I mean first of all before uh we leave the construction phasing in that our high school staff has been incredible through this this entire process our teched staff Nelson Brunell Ben lamp ignasio the flexibility that they've had in vacating those spaces to allow us to be able to get in there and get this project done in a time frame that meets the new school year has been incredible um very extremely flexible with a difficult job on top of it so I compliment everybody who's inv been involved from the high school side on that um the other component of this project was a district project the owner owner direct project owner projects

082these are the ones that we're facilitating uh as a district there were five projects total I put four up here because we lumped the pl and Horizon Roofing um as we approached this initially we were anticipating doing the roofing projects one each summer um but we were able to really get some economies of scale and some great efficiency on the pricing on this by getting everything done and flexibility will be the key word this summer as we work through the buildings and John will go through the sequencing a little bit with you and how we coordinate that with 1 1700 students in summer school at the same time up on the campus here uh so that that plan is uh that project is about 2.6 million was our original budget for the roofing on both

083of these buildings uh the HVAC improvements in the high school here started with the air handling units we're currently reviewing some scope um when we go into these projects we put we anticipate things that are on the longrange capital projects plan and where we'll have the opportunity to greatly reduce the cost of doing projects on there as part of the scope of this work um with where the budget came in for or where the the bids came in for the hbac work within the scope of what we've set aside here we have two rooftop units that are due for replacement uh that we may be able to also incorporate into this within that same price tag uh that need to be replaced um Horizon flooring we had reserved about 660,000 we anticipated for the cost

084of of the flooring upgrades in that building and then the solar we had about $600,000 we anticipated initially in the project when is it going to happen uh like I mentioned the p and Horizon Roofing will be completed in the summer of 2025 along with the HVAC improvements that's all been contracted already uh that stuff's ready to go the major uh equipment components are already ordered on on those elements The Horizon flooring and the solar installation we're working on that right now working with the engineers or working with the design on those projects to get us prepared ahead of time for summer of 2026 so if we can procure some of the materials for that flooring ahead of time so we're not paying price increases as they come along for 26 or or Beyond we're

085going to do that ahead of time but summer wise there's only so much we can get done around summer school and that flooring we'll have to wait till 26 we'll reduce that cost wherever we can from a material side if you um I'll let John take over on the sequencing all right you have another okay so from uh you have the I'll go I'll talk about the roofing when we get to the roofing sequencing uh but for the h um so just to kind of get into a little bit more detail so the yellow and the green areas those are Ali units one and two um so a bulk of the majority of the original High School from 1968 um those are two old dual duck hot duck Cold Duck units that we're looking at

086upgrading and replacing um but you can see how much of the area and how much of the high school it affects um and uh just trying to be flexible too so here's the second floor as well so it's the first floor and second floor for those entire areas uh the strategy is to still operate some Su summer school inside the high school where we can um around the spaces with these two spaces you know again on the first floor it's advantageous for us to be doing a culinary and a couple of other spaces at the same time while we're upgrading the hvc just because it's not going to affect any other staff or students um but it'll be it'll be fun to uh schedule summer school the gym auditoriums all those are still going to

087be used um while this HBC work is happening uh I know we have gradu or graduations is a little earlier uh for the ceremony inside the building but uh come June 7th Saturday June 7th we're going to be already starting with some of the demo and some of the work for the hvc and then going full go that week of June 9th um when school lets out so um that'll be we'll be hammering on that all summer long and getting that ready for the start of school um yep go ahead L where are physically the ahu one and ahu A1 is right here down below the dock okay on the right y right down below you actually right outside um Down Below in the in the down below the dock area there so that's where

088one one is two is actually you can see it on the left hand side um right outside 110 so if you went down there's kind of like a a ship ladder that goes down into the basement um that's where hand un two is so it's going to be um interesting because there's right around here sorry trying to point out with the Red Dot on this screen um CG Schmidt's going to be knocking a hole in the wall um just so it's a little easier to demo and then also to be able to install the new unit um down in the basement so it'll it was it was interesting how they got it down there I'm sure and um because these are some large dual duck units that you'll see and we'll have pictures for you

089to show as we is that the only space in the high school it's a basement under it or basement uh yes yes that would be the only yeah only spot I us on a board tour down there someday right sure gladly uh we have ability watch your head and then the second is um it's it's not that exciting it's it's an HPC unit so well other than it's one of those locations though where the accessibility and availability to get in and out of there I mean it's like who or why they ever built it or put it in that location I mean it's almost impossible to get to like I said you're going to have to tear on walls agree to get in there and take out the old and put in the new right

090agree agree so uh but that that concludes air units one and two um and then as we get towards the roofing Replacements so at Horizon um just to or orientate yourself uh main office is right here on the North side on the top side there um you can see just to the right of the gym so that's where the main entrance is there or just to the right of the cafeteria um so this is entire 2001 edition about 53,000 ft of roofing um this particular roof they're going to be starting on uh July 21st but they'll actually be vacuuming a bunch of the stone on off the week of Fourth of July when we don't have school going on because it is pretty noisy and Loud um when they're vacuuming all the stone off the

091roof uh because it's a currently a baled system and it's going to be switching over to a full rubber edpm roof um when all of a sudden done so that one will be Fourth of July week and then right after summer school concludes the following Monday they're going to be really working on Horizon's roof as we're going to be sliding a little bit more summer school into Horizon in order to make sure we can have enough class offerings and make it work uh and then for plle um you can you can see everything on the east side so on the right hand side the two roofs in the top left those are above the district office we are actually able to extend the life cycle of those another three years so three years we're going

092to be coming back uh to replace those roofs that are currently over a district office but for this particular summer everything on the right hand side which is uh near the LGI of 400 you can see on the bottom left and then wrapped all the way around the building to through the gymnasium and through the one cafeteria so that entire area all those roofs are going to be replaced this summer uh they'll be vacuuming the stone the week of June 9th and then we'll also be it'll be majority of the summer just because it's 73,000 square feet um and then say there's some you know rooftop units that we have to work on a curb right above the dock area there too um in order to make it work but again that's going from a

093ballasted roof to a full rubber edpm as well um at peuk Leon Elementary um any questions regarding the roofing how old are those roofs on that building those are 1996 so we're coming we're coming right up on that you know and typically ball of roof are you get 20 to 25 maybe and we're at 28 so we've been able to extend a lot of those roof life cycles just by you know proper prevented maintenance and taking care of them um so but we're we're getting right up on that life cycle we're you know we we we occasionally are getting some of those leaks here and there not going again um we we haven't had many leaks lately so trying to keep it that way but replace it before it becomes a major issue um and

094then just to touch base on the horizon flooring and the solar um so we're working on that already um and again like John was saying a lot of these we're trying to get ahead of the bidding cycle so we can kind of dictate our timeline um and what contractors can do to meet our timelines because that was the best part about bidding out those roofs early like late October early November so we kind of got ahead of everyone else in the bidding cycle and we could dictate those those dates we want the work to be completed while at the same point the procurement of materials is is continuing to be a challenge in the market too and I'm sure our architex and constru uh CG can attend to that too where um you know some

095of the procurement of materials can be challenging at times so we just try to get ahead of that and you know again try to get good pricing too so you'll see you'll see the so and the Horizon flooring be hitting the Ser here pretty soon um within the next few months question for John relative to you said by combining the the roofs at both schools do you have an estimate how much did we save with that or potentially uh going into the project with the scope that we defined in it we anticipate that roofing project is going to be six to 700,000 under the original projected cost so uh and if you've been adding the numbers up as as we we've been going you're saying it's coming a little bit short it's not 28.5 million

096the other part of this project the other component is the owner soft cost that's our cost for the Architects it's our cost for Furnitures fixtures equipment all of the inst all of the make it Live cost like the servers the the routers all of that other technology equipment that's in there the finishes in the classrooms you TVs if they're going to have a monitor in there all of those components communication devices any questions I have one actually probably more for Anthony for students that are in the trades or project management are they going to have opportunities to engage they will and as we get going we'll have discussions on that the last referendum there were opportunities that students participated in so that'll be something that Mike and I we can connect on and make sure

097that those opportunities exist because the nice thing is that we're going to have less space so finding some of opportunities for our kids might be very beneficial sure okay yeah CJ Schmidt did a great job the last time around with that all the way all the way down to the younger kids too oh okay that's I have to say when we started the process a couple years ago and identifying who are the right Partners to bring to the table we've really scrutinized The Architects and the construction managers and the team that we've been able to put together to bring the project to this point where it's at right now has been exceptional um the work together together the openness to looking at different criteria and the ability to to take it from a thought and

098an idea to we're locking in a price of what that construction is not going to exceed uh it's been Monumental especially the last four or five months and they've been incredibly um good to work with so Matt par I to answer your question and maybe you could jump into we had like ask the Builder and then I know a couple times you had like surveying students come out or the students in suring class when you're doing some of that kind of work too but yeah the ask ask the Builder was for some of the younger kids we set up a you know a mailbox inside and the kids could ask questions to the construction workers and we'd answer them and sometimes do a video and and tell them you know how how things are made

099like what's made out what is concrete made out of and you know so some of those things we would answer those questions uh yeah and then um surveying we did have one of our surveyors come out and teach a class or show them how how to survey in real life and and go through that stuff and those are all opportunities that that are open as well do you two kids you have two kids in the district or three I I have two kids in the district and what grades are they in by the way uh one's in eighth grade and sixth grade right now awesome so so they get to see the new high school that was real that was a real interesting part of the last project when we did it because if you

100remember we did all the exterior work on the parking lots so every window in the district had visibility of large Earth movers and and digging equipment that every kid wanted to go play on it was Focus was a challenge for a little bit there John you should just say you had the interest in playing on [Laughter] it yeah they're just gonna hide the keys to the Heavy Equipment and John starts walking that way all right thank you if there any other questions otherwise uh the intent here was just to give you that that continuing progress update as we get get going here again you will anticipate um probably July or August at some point coming back with another progress update and where are we out on schedule what does the next 30 60 days look

101like and give you the updates as we keep going through the project you will see some things go up pretty quickly here in the next couple of months because of the pre-cast so kind of Swing towards that side of the high school in the next couple months you'll see some things changing actually that's an interesting question without knowing exactly where the physical or the fitness center will be but for like whatever homecoming football game would it be done before then John so we'll be in it in the summer what's that yeah they'll be in before school start be in a little mini open house or something you know so have the watt Brothers come out so all right uh next uh we want to talk about that guaranteed maximum price John so when we issued

102the contract uh back in August of 23 uh with CG Schmidt um we informed you at that point in time this the contract cycle goes from um preliminary work regular uh construction development and then we get to the GMP this is an amendment to the contract which sets that guaranteed maximum price uh within here we have contingency and potential expenditures that we'll look at within that number um ultimately through the construction process when we close out the project in April of 2026 any funds that are left of that guaranteed maximum price revert back to the district we hold the funds the whole time we no longer have we no longer are obligated to the construction manager after that close out process and any funds that are left we just keep um from the project so

103you you have the the GMP amendment in your um in your package with the recommended motion 18.66 five um million for those projects any questions that money that we have set aside John for like you say um Machinery equipment um internet whatever uh do we feel that based on current cost trends that we have have enough finances set aside to cover all of that yeah we've been we've been um we've been monitoring that pretty close um some of the equipment is coming a little bit higher that we're looking at some of it is coming in lower uh we also within that that soft cost element of the project have owners contingency funds that um we can apply to things that as costs fluctuate um our team again the staff in the high school in these

104specific areas is did an incredible job of itemizing those equipment needs and anticipating the cost of those throughout the entire development of this project uh so I feel like we've got a pretty we've got a pretty comfortable handle on what those costs are going to be and what it's going to take to buy what we need to to make it a success any other questions so when you say that we keep the funds if there's anything left over where do those funds go like what do do is it we can only use it for certain yes so you have uh from the date of issue you have 36 months to utilize the fund so we we issued our first bond issue of $9 million that's a a sec rule um so we have three years

105from the date of issue from last August to spend that first $9 million that will be burned up through construction uh probably in May sometime uh as we then get into the second Debt Service that we'll be issuing in um in April at our next meeting those funds that starts the clock ticking at that closing date May 7th I believe we're targeting U for a three-year window all of these funds are restricted to only use for projects that are specifically identified in that in that um referendum question so you''ll be able to tie every expense back to the referendum question and the scope of what was there it includes items that are on the longrange capital projects plan as other potential Investments that we can make with that our plan is to come back to

106the board in May and say here's the things that are in the next three years that are on that long range Capital plan that we're going to have to take care of can we do some of them now if it looks like the Project's going to come in under the cost of what we have at that three-year period um you close the project out much like the last one where we did we had just under $700,000 left in the bond in the construction funds when we closed the project out finally uh prior to the three-year window that was convered back to The Debt Service fund to pay the bonds that were issued to pay for the cost of the project I have another question um I so just curious do we have any local corporations

107immediately I think of milwauke tool that have reached out to say we're willing to donate um maybe small hand tools or give us special pricing on equipment that we would purchase through them just in the contract a loan through this first phase of determining the construction cost we've had some local companies really step up to the plate and say we want this because it's in our community um and that's translated into some of the costs that we've seen on the contracts for these projects that's been a real that's been a real incredible partnership with those with those companies um we also are um looking at well over $100,000 of Grant funds that are uh have been submitted for already um that will also offset some some of the cost that that will go into the

108project and uh the Partnerships like one of the pieces of equipment we got this past year um was a partnership with a local business that they donated the $99,000 piece of equipment and we installed that will also be utilized in the new facility that piece of equipment our teachers are well connected with the industry and what they need we've done the business forums to say what do our graduates need to be successful they come to work for you and the business Community is stepping back into it and saying here's how we're going to help support you developing those things our teachers are well connected and they're doing a great job this our Tech head staff that's great thank you any other questions all right I move to approve amendment number one to the AIA 133

109agreement between CG Schmidt Inc and the Pewaukee School District to establish the guaranteed maximum price of 8,665 354 for the 2024 facility master plan projects second all in favor I I any opposed oppose all right thank you John and thank you to all of you for your great presentation I'm so excited to see this thing happen wow um next we have ear early college credit start college now applications Anthony yeah so our last meeting we had the same um topic on the agenda but that was for summer early college credit courses uh this would be for next fall for students um applying for early college credit and that's through the UW system and start college now is through the uh technical college system so the one difference here is is the dual enrollment acmy at

110WCTC uh we have 18 students interested in that and that that's a full year commitment for them so that approval is that's fall and spring um so looking for approval and the the differentiator on these would be the our only reason for denial would be um if we offer a comparable course here at the high school so I did share the list with you and the one thing I do want to point out is the maximum cost for fall in the board memo was identified as 46,700 or 7356 um the that there is a revised amount it's $4,195 because I was waiting to hear back on one specific course that in my review of that I deemed it to be comparable to something that we had here in the high school so I did not

111approve those courses for that's those three students so looking for a motion motion for approval I move to approve the start college now applications for 19 students early college credit applications for four students and the dual enrollment for 18 students in semester 1 of the 25 2025 26 school year as presented second all in favor I any opposed obain Anthony uh Could you um give me a status as to the college level examination program in the school can you clarify what you mean by college level examination program KP the KP KP testing yes so are you talking about college tests that our students take you go to oh I I don't know the I don't know the exact numbers I can try and get that for you um I could follow up via email if

112that's something you're interested in well what what do you know about the program about students or about students taking a test to get college credit right not AP I do not know a ton about that program so I would take it that student students here would not know about that program either I would have to talk to the high school administration to see I do not I'm not 100% familiar with that program that's what you're asking yes that was what my question was thank you y what was the name of the program Mar clap clap what c e p c e p CL okay not clap okay CLP okay all right uh next we are going to speak to the wsha county special education Consortium agreement for the 2526 school year I'm going to ask

113Tony to come up hello Tony good evening everybody so the wakaa special education Cooperative has been around since 1989 90 school year and the reason that it's important is there's some loow incident areas that we have to cover as a school District Audiology deaf and heart of hearing is the one area that we contract with the wakashaw county Consortium and it's really important because you can't find staff to we looked for other bids last year and there just no availability of personnel that are certified in that area and specialize so we've been very fortunate the other huge piece of this program is the equipment loaning so when I was investigating alternatives oftentimes when little kids have hearing age or Audiology assistance they end up changing devices and changing equipment quite regularly because they're growing their

114ears are growing and their needs are changing and as a result of having all of these school districts part of the Consortium we get laner equipment we just pay for the staffing but they have a whole library of loner equipment and the lady that coordinates everything in Elm Brook School District has a pH in this so just exceptional services for next school year we have six students that are going to be served for deart a hearing and six students in Audiology and that's pretty much the extent of the agreement it would not make any sense for us to hire we wouldn't be able to hire our own because of the Statewide shortage but parents have been happy and I contacted each and every one of the parents last spring to inquire about how they feel

115about the service delivery from Elmbrook and this Consortium does anyone have any questions for me in regards to thisy Audiology would be um it's specializing in how kids are hearing and it's coordinating the hearing aids you separated that from you got de and H heart a hearing and then you have the Audiology and that's how the hearing aids work and they work with that no you know it's any six and six yeah any any student with a hearing impairment is going to have an audiologist that works with them to assess how they can hear sounds and the background noise how the hearing aid is working they got some really cool things now where they have devices that mount up here and the kids can really navigate it well we also have surround sound systems that

116the Teachers miked up so they work with the student they work with the audiologist that is testing the ability to hear but the fascinating thing about this is how the background noise in a classroom can impact a student to ascertain what's going on in the room so having a specialist that can do testing to determine what devices would be best positioning in the room and the sound system is really exciting and the technology is has made it so so that the kids don't feel singled out at all any other questions otherwise I'll take a motion I move to approve the wer County Special Education Cooperative services for deaf and heart of hearing and Audiology contract for the 2025 26 school year second all in favor I got a question Bren go ahead why is this

117one coming to the board for approval it's a 66031 requir yeah so these 66 0301 requirements are contracts that are require board approval you haven't brought every contract that you've Eng depends on depends on what the contract is I don't John 66031 is a intergovernmental Cooperative agreement and that's where this Falls underneath the statute and it requires an annual action to part participate in that intergovernmental Cooperative between public entities got it thanks John we had a second correct yes all in favor I any opposed all right thank you thanks Tony thank you guys have a good night Tony um next I'm going to go back to John because we're going to look at that resolution for transfer funds and establishing that escrow account so part of the longrange financing plan when it comes to managing

118the debt in the district is to minimize the impact of any of our debt that it has on the property taxes and on the on the debt service Levy for the district one of the tools the primary tools we have to do that is the use of use of defences essentially we use an escro agent we pay the funds to the escro agent they make the payments when they're due that way we account for the transfer of the funds when it leaves us in that fiscal year instead of the future one um we've done four or five defences uh in the last six years or so uh to be able to manage our debt and to decrease the overall cost this defance here is proposed for a total of $1 1,47 th000 it's part uh

119mostly funded through the levy stabilization Levy that we have um when you adopted in O October we had identified a dollar amount in there and some of the accured interest earnings that that we've had on that throughout this time period this defance will take debt off of March of 2026 that will allow us to fold in the new debt for the remaining construction project earlier in the sequence and therefore reducing the overall interest cost pretty substantially of what it's going to be um when you act in April acting on this now um pays off debt from Spring of 26 to have it substituted with the new debt um and reduces the tax impact does anybody have any questions on that all right I move to approve the resol resolution authorizing the transfer of funds the

120establishment of an escro account with respect to the Defence of certain of the general obligation refunding bonds series 2019a dated March 20th of second all in favor I any opposed abstain all right moving on to Personnel issues we do have one resignation have one resignation um limited term a music and art teacher at Lake Elementary um so I'd seek your approval Don approve the resignation of Don Fernandez limited term music and arts teacher at PL all in favor I any opposed abstain uh there are no retirements no Employments but we do have a leave of absent we have uh Maggie uh Goa gasa who is a special education teacher at Horizon is requesting a um uh a Year's leave abs of absence next year with a new child um and the recommendation of the administration

128followup I had reached out once to Senator Hutton but I had not re heard back so I will be reaching out to invite him on campus he did um graciously met with us in the fall um uh so earlier this year but as we get into this vium budget cycle that's really important s swsa uh has been very active with advocacy for this um so it's going to be a big deal right we need to have these opportunities to advocate for what our schools need um and um it'll be good to sit down it'll also be helpful to sit down with Adam to maybe get some insight as to where they think things are going to go uh with the legislature um because as John is doing his budget work we're just using certain cons

129you know relatively conservative assumptions as to what we might be receiving out of that budget so that's that's what everything's focused on right now typically you'll hear lots of advocacy and that's certainly s wsa's position around increased funding for special education um but really about spendable dollars uh for school districts so like in the uh the last bium budget you would hear something like 1.1 or 1 2 billion doll uh provided education but a huge chunk of that was property tax relief it was not spendable dollars and it and a large portion of that went to private voucher so um so those are things that we'll be talking to our legislators about the other thing there's two things so actually Wednesday of this week is the WB advocacy day at the capital as well so

130that's a good opportunity if you can spend some time in Madison and you'll there's a prison visitations in the morning with legislative leaders from both uh both parties will be there and then there's actually visits to the offices in the afternoon as well in terms of with activity but John and I participated La not last week the week before last Thursday last Thursday I think it was when was it I think it was last Thursday could have been last week though it would have been the week before but we were there and it was an education session and I think it was probably the first time that we had Wisconsin Association of school boards Wisconsin Association of school business officials John was there the school administrators Alliance a group called the S swsa southeastern Wisconsin

131school Alliance and the rural School Alliance and I'm thinking I missed somebody else there but all of those groups were there we had maybe about 50 or 60 people and some of those were actual representatives from the State Assembly or state senate that were there or staffers uh learning about it and it was a really good program in terms of the cont content that was being presented some of it Matt you may have seen or been aware of in terms of the an Chapman Mike Barry uh kind of information that they present about where's the the funding level in the state of Wisconsin and one of the things that really hit home with me is yes I mean they could talk about the fact that we have increased quote unquote the funding in the state

132of Wisconsin but at the same time I mean our rankings in some of the performance indicators in terms of dollars being spent student performance perance all of those things ranking relative to other states has gone down and I think that's one of the things and I kind of went into a little bit of an um you know just saying it's like I don't want to be in the lower half of all of the 50 states in the United States in terms of Education there's no reason why Wisconsin should not be one of the leaders in terms of the education and our performance in terms of schools and education because we clearly need it here in the state and it also helps benefit the entire country if we have higher uh performance levels student achievement levels

133in the state of Wisconsin so and join the school board to be an average school district or below average so you uh Wednesday W the WB thing at the capital is uh Wednesday of this week is that a legislative session for WB alone uh pardon it's a legislative day for just that group uh I don't know if there's other groups that are going to be there but yeah the WB will have sessions at the manona Terrace and then they go to the state capital for office visits as well morning is program content I don't know if exactly there was a sign up deadline uh but there is a cost associated with it 're signing up for it I think it was 20 so the broader umbrella you're not aware of the which one a broader

134umbrella so that it's so the dental profession has a legislative day the medical profession question as a legislative day exactly as you describe it but it's not I'm not understanding what you're saying Mary you're not very clear I apologize I'm not able to hear what you're saying the the speaker thing or what I'm saying content wise I I think are you asking Mary is this day at the capital specifically set aside for school officials and to discuss education and funding exactly and then since Larry only mentioned the one and you just went through a a a laundry list of several others that would be are the others also theirs but that's exactly it Bren thank you she was wondering if you know was any other groups are going to be yes I mean I Le

135I know for sure WSB wasbo will be there so it's a combined session for the wi what the Wisconsin associate of school boards I believe is kind of like the main organizer of the thing on Wednesday uh so yeah I mean and they work very very well together and it's across the entire State the rural School Alliance has got a lot of members out there uh S swsa covers southeast Wisconsin uh other folks will be there as well so thank you okay yeah I didn't hear what you're saying so yes it's a day for that there could be other groups in terms of there as well on that same day uh because every organization the state of Wisconsin typically tries to go in and advocate for their things on different laws and budgets and whatever

136else is out there there are typically our other groups I I can send you the link if You' like Mary um thank you yes yeah um that'd be great just to give you the quick nickel tour here um join school board members and administrators from around the state to advocate for schools spend the morning discussing the latest updates of the 25 27 state budget and other legislation then we'll be ready to meet with legislators in the capital offices the WB will schedule afternoon meetings for you come prepared to discuss your District's to priorities uh the event agenda uh starts at the Monona terus at 8: a.m. um there's a legislative panel at 9:45 um and then a networking lunch and then a in the afternoon certain I one you start meeting with legislators yep but

137I can send you that link too okay and the cost involved is $200 $29 and Tammy can help you if you'd like to go Mary Tammy can get you registered awesome all right strategic planning process yeah this is uh real quick so um we have a obviously a three-year strategic plan and process uh last spring um was the heavy lift because we were creating we were sunsetting a plan and creating a new one that included uh full community survey it included multiple nights of community engagement it included student focus groups staff focus groups uh so this is a lighter year typically what we would do as the one Community night I've spoken to a couple of you with a suggestion of changing things a little bit um you know as opposed to you know that

138night we do the SWAT analysis we have everybody in we do our dots right we do presentations on the plan those that's been a good process um but my suggestion that if so to a couple of you about is instead to um maybe select three dates um and make it a tighter 60 to 90 minute um Round Table focus group format where we can just uh get some feedback uh open up a like a sign up that would go out to to families we could certainly invite um the people that are on our list that you've invited as you've identified some people in the past we could send them specific emails but we could open up more broadly uh to parents and staff and even students and we talked about possibly having some specific topics

139we would like some input on such as we're talking about what we want to do with cell phones as a policy next year that could be something uh that we could Target so I was just I wanted to see how that sounded and felt to this group and if so I would work on getting dates and a schedule and a signup set up I think it's great because um for the last handful CP of years you know we've had this list of people that we invite in but I think if we also open that up and allow people parents to sign up we get additional voices in here which I think is important to hear from other segments of the community and also I said to Mike it might be good you know if we're

140going to talk about this cell phone topic maybe do a separate night where we meet with students and do a forum with them and a separate night with parents and constituents so that especially the students can feel like they're open and honest when we discuss some of those topics I but is a separate night event a separate night event yeah parents and students uh separate I don't know what you girls think about that but sometimes maybe if parents aren't sitting there maybe students feel more transparent yeah I think I think especially if you open it up to anyone it would be very well received um just because it is such a big topic and I think you'll get a lot of participation I'd be happy to come as well and discuss but I know it's

141great to get different perspectives as well so yeah definitely I'd be interested in attending as well but yeah I think it's a really good idea to open it up to everybody and having those separate um times for the parents and the kids because you get to kind of compare the information that you've received and Natalie I think you said that you have a principal advisory Council where you're going to discuss that and it's in two weeks or something you yeah so um in and I are both on the principal Advisory Board level which is where we meet bi-weekly with Mr sniff to talk about topics issues we just had a meeting last week Monday um we didn't it was on our list to talk about we did not really get into it we had other

142more pressing topics but we are it's been on our agenda to talk about and it's gained a lot of interest so we'll be talked about and I'd be happy to share and Anna as well about how that went um when that does happen I'll make sure to talk to Mr sniff to make that a priority I I think that's a really good idea Natalie I mean if there's anything that you can bring and obviously being part of that discussion as students and both of you carry cell phones right so I mean it's important to have your voice and the voice of the other students on that principal advisory counsel there so thank you for offering toally do that so so what I'll do is I'll um Identify some dates and some times I'll just I'll

143email the board to get some input to see if that works and we'll try that approach this year and then we can open up use a a Google form or something to register people um for those specific times and it'll be the mindset is that it'll be much less presentation oriented like the last ones you know you'd have the people would rotate to different groups they get a presentation here's the plan it would really be less about the goals in the current plan it would just be more of a feedback Forum uh in general um with some light um presentation about kind of the main priorities of the the current plan but it would be mostly about you know organized around a set of questions just to give people an opportunity to talk and give

144feedback and raise any issues that they think are important really a listening yes form does does anyone else have any questions or comments about that type of format I think it's a great time to try something new okay so I'll proceed with that as the approach and I'll get something out to the board soon okay we'll get some dates on the calendar uh next we we're going to do a little follow-up discussion to our board retreat right so uh I'd sent to you uh following that a summary of what we talked about um so uh we the just to kind of refresh memories here um I provided that agenda we talked about data reporting and there was feedback from the board about less large data dumps in terms of presentation providing all the information but

145getting much more Tighter and focused when we do presentation uh with more analysis um and so that's going to be the marching orders of my team as I come forward with data to to be much more specific um to provide things like executive summaries of data reports um and just get tighter on those presentations we talked about um open meetings laws requirements um and for me to organize a legal update just to provide greater Clarity regarding the ability to you know what our fence posts are related to discussions at open meetings and just kind of get a legal update on open meetings laws requirements um Clarity of Purpose with items placed on the agenda um when establishing the agenda prepare and supporting materials the administrative team should make it clear what the purpose is for

146an item being brought to the board and what is needed by the administration from the board so some clarity on that with ag agenda setting uh we then spent quite a bit of time talking about Norms we um uh talked and reviewed about the um 13 behaviors of high trust leaders and use that as kind of a framework um talked about then roles of administration and roles of the board which are summarized in that memorandum um in terms terms of operations versus governance um and oversight and those kinds of things we talked about our no surprises Norm of making sure that uh we're asking questions ahead of time as much as we can that if something's bubbling up that we work real hard to keep each other informed uh we talked about the process that
