001Good evening everyone. Uh like to welcome everybody to our student recognition portion of this meeting which hopefully try to get done and start our formal business meeting at 5:30. But welcome I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Williams to start the goal is to finish by 5:25 recognition portion step out and then we recognize some of our retirees this year. So if you look at our agenda, the first student recognition we get to do are star students and keep the star program recognized as the highest ones fitting FAP in the district. And this year we had a tie with Mercy Rico Zoo. Miss Mercy came in right at the right time. So if you will come on down to select a teacher, Dr. Carai who I believe is out of the country and then

002Dr. Holland with Vince SL Dr. Holland please join us this way. All right. So you didn't have a speech Friday night at graduation but if you will share with everybody what your plans are in the fall and then aspiration longterm reading. Um, I am going to Duke University in the fall and I'm planning to build the free group. If you please join me over here and talk a little about Vincent, what his claims and aspirations are telling. I am new to Jamesville High School here. I teach AP physics and Vincent is my star student. Um, so Vincent is wonderful. He is a hard worker. Um, and he has really great plans to attend to Georgia Tech. His major and I have it written down here so I don't mess it up. He plans to double

003major in architecture and urban planning and spatial analytics and then go to graduate school after that. So those are our business plans. Our second recognition this evening uh gets to recognize our incentive ESOL student and teacher. to Eastall and English speakers of other language. And so I would like to invite our director of federal program, Shay and her team up to recognize our teacher and student. Thank you, Dr. Williams, for telling everyone what the acronym stands for. Uh so each year the state's ESOL language program recognizes one exemplary high school senior English learner and one exemplary ESOL teacher from each district. The nomination criteria for an exemplary English learner student is they must currently be enrolled in a Georgia public high school and employees to graduate or in other case to already have graduated this

004year. They must have a minimum of a 3.5 GPA. They must have demonstrated leadership such as serving in extracurricular activities, sports, clubs, employment, or community service. And they must also exhibited exemplary character, outstanding behavior in regular attendance. The exemplary ESOL teacher must currently be ESOL certified and endorsed and serving or teaching ELS. They do not necessarily have to be teaching the ESOL student, but they do have to be teaching EELs and they can be at any level. They can be elementary, middle, or high. They must be making a positive impact in the school community or lives of English learners. They must exhibit exemplary professionalism and leadership. For instance, uh serving as a peer mentor, being an instructional leader or an ESOL lead in their school. Um, and to present the awards, I will turn this

005over to our Diana ESO duo, Dr. Michelle Canrell, assistant director at federal programs, and Gary McGarity, our international student group. This year's exemplary English learner came to us from Togo in the eighth grade. She's been an exemplary student here at the Angel City School, modeling the core arts of being ready, respectful, and a role model. She's deliberate about asking questions and advocating for herself to ensure that she has every opportunity to learn and grow. Her determination, accountability, and resiliency have allowed her to balance her extracurricular activities, her onampus classes, and her dual enrollment courses while also exiting the ESOL program. She didn't even miss a day of school this year, so y'all pretty awesome. Not not a full day. She's active in the Stall Club, the Beta Club, the Black Student Union, and the Engineering

006Club. and she demonstrates exceptional character in her daily life at Gainesville Cities or Gainesville High School kids. Um, I'm proud to name DBY as this sharing stand. Well, the next consequence. At this time, I would like to recognize our exempt teacher. This is Britney Mendoza from Academy. Great if you'll come forward and while she come I will tell you that Mr. Mendoza is a leader in her school. She trained her staff on how to support English language learners. She works with parents and staff on how to use new technology in our schools for translating. She leads a team of four teachers who handle all of money bill and she does everything with a incredible positive attitude. She has an initiative to help any improve any area of need within the school and she's an official

007mentor to two new teachers this year. In addition, she found a PBIS team and helps make schoolwide decisions developer leadership. She's an active member of the leadership team and events committee where she's responsible for planning all details of school events. She sponsors an after school club for students as well. She is truly an exemplary teacher and we are honored to recognize her for this work. Thank you. our next recognition this evening um is about five young ladies who represented not only city school system but represented the junior league charity ball and our bells of the ball. I want to read just a brief synopsis of what that means for us in our community. For over 70 years, the Junior League of Gang Hall County has hosted the charity balls to help raise funds and serve

008community needs. The annual charity ball event students the opportunity to work together with a local civic club serve their community by raising funds that will be given back to local organizations supported by the cheerleader. This year, the funds raised reached more than over $300,000, most of which is allocated towards many Junior League internal projects focused on childhood hunger, wellness, and nutrition. A portion of the fund raised are also set aside to benefit one or more nonprofit organizations in the community. So, what I'd like to do is recognize the five nonprofits as well as the young ladies that were develop candidates, two of which are children or board members. So, I'm sorry our elected officials, you can advocate for more money. We do have each of you a different book. Uh but who know I believe

009four to five are graduating or graduated Friday night and as you take this next step in your journey we want to give you a little something that will just kind of help share that outlook with you as you move on beyond. So the family of Paul County is Maddie. The girls unlimited is in Stevens. Club Ginger Club with Stewart in the CE. You're Andy and y'all please. Thank you ladies. Congratulations. So this time of the year we also get the opportunity to recognize our students and student athletes that go on to win region and in some cases of course then compete at state and win state. Our first group this evening I'd like to recognize are our young majority authors that were recognized not too long ago for representing our new but we did have

010some that went on to then win the like that she would come up and recognize our region winners were young. Thank you. Like you said, we had two students that went on to win region for our district and we are pleased to honor them tonight. One of them was our kindergarten winner, Miss Galleras from Monday. She will come forward and our second winner was Mr. Tyler Lewen from Gab East. Nice. Byebye. We also had some success in GHSA and the literary competition. I'd like to invite coaches and Tyler Wy to recognize our region winners and others as well as our state. Thank you Dr. Williams and the board for having us here today. I'd also like to recognize Mr. Derek Demware who has also served in one of our um we had turnout this year.

011um seven different students won at the regional level or placed um at the regional level and we've also had five students participate in the state level. So literary competition this year so if you guys want to help me I'll call up student by student these are region uh places Andrew Pal but he won the argumentative essay invitational. Next is Darian Allen for reading voice solo and voice quartet. We also have a million TZ. He is the region winner for voice and state. Would you like how is the region ready to announce that day? Leo Dow is the region winner for boys for bed. River is the region domestic third place in the state for that category. and he is not here today but Bill was the region quartet member as well as the first place

012along these round of applause. So if our goal of 525 to be met that means coach I see your time right. So I'd like to first bring up coach Tommy Turner and the coaching staff as well as our athletes. I'd like to read a little bit about the success that they had with varsity boys 24-25 season. The boys finished 11th at the traditional state championship. State qualifiers, Rowan Kennedy in third place. Joel Belray in fifth place, Adrien Canth, Christopher Pierre Lewis fourth place, and William Childs first place. Thank you Lakers. We had William Child who also was the state champion at 175 pounds. Varsity girls 24-25 season. They were the area 8 dual champions which I believe is back to back. GHS girls state duels. They finished fifth. For state qualifiers we have Miss Alicia

013Rogers and Dave Moral. Let's give the round of applause. [Music] This guy has been amazing for so hard. I'm just very thankful and I got to slow down a little bit. Moving on to boys for basketball. I'd like to ask Coach Given if he and his staff would make their way up and students athletes when I call your name if you'll join us as well. The basketball team, I believe, finished second in the inseason regular season and then in the postseason tournament finished first as the region wins. So that team consisted of Sebastian Collins, Hudson Garish, Charlie, Jacob Griffin, Xavier Griffin, Kayen Jackson, Jack Jones, Quenton Mansfield, Luke Nordho, Brandon Nelson, Parker Watts, and Kevin KJ.

So coach for coach Williams all will please come on out this way. So coach for here. So a couple of things that was

015nice about this year having the daughter in track. I got to see a lot of this up close and personal, but can't remember the last time I was boys and girls sweat all county championship as well as region, but it's been a while. So, what I'd like to do is ask any of the athletes to make their way up as I read through some of the region winners uh in this and then we'll take a picture and coach for say a few words.

Please join us up this way so we can recognize you with the rest of the team to help win both county championship and the region championship. to continue recognize all these teams and everybody else has been recognized tonight. Um, I also look at the fact that we're I guess this is my third or fourth year in a row doing this. So our girls team just

017finished a free beat. So the last three years into the jazz boy team winning um really impressed with everybody and I appreciate the fact we called everybody because there are some of them here that may have been our fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth place finishers in the uh county region meets and those points had our girls team won by barely two points. So, uh, every point of matters I always say. Um, just really appreciated. The girls team, I do want to speak for a moment. They had a really good year across the board. We made out of one region in cross country. We finished second, but our girls team did finish sixth in the state cross country and then they went on this this boat with the girls team and track seventh. So, a good year

018across the board. We're the girls cross country and the girls track team. Um, but a real amount of everybody here.

Let's do some recognitions where we recognize some of our some of our heroes of the herd. You notice throughout the course of the year, we recognize a hero of the herd and certified for each of our schools. But at the time of the year where we get to reflect back on people that are at the district level who are arguous of the her get to recognize and classified and certified. Neither one of them know any of you. Miss Brenda Robas if you would please join us up here. Yes. If you will join

021me right here for just a moment. So she really I saw her flowers when I brought them in a little bit earlier and uh didn't know she could be taking home. Let me share with you a summary of what we say about Brendon. Brener Wilg is being recognized as the GCF classified hero to her award for exceptional dedication and positively impacting students, families and colleague in the games schools. Known for her kindness, perspective and problems all consistently goes above and beyond her role as an enormous specialist particularly in assisting families with registration navigating new system. Her commitment extends beyond her professional duties as she actively contributes to her community and church embodying a genuine passion for service and connection. Ladies and gentlemen, a classified hero of the her. Oh, and her family is here. So,

022if y'all will please join us. Miss Linda, come on. Y'all come on. Come up here. Don't piss. You're probably wondering our certified hero. The nice part about this is none of them ever know because they always have to come before you. So I'd like to bring up Dr. Adrien Bra. was standing beside him. First word she said was, "I'm underressed." Second last name, Mr. very well too when he had so that just tells me next May whoever comes under threat now Cromwell I stepped in big force at the beginning of school year and not only I took the lead at GMS west that had to transform in a very short period of time but I'd like to share with you summary of some of the recommendations Dr. Adrian Cromwell is being recognized as a GCS

023desk here at Bird for his outstanding leadership and dedication at Gainesville School West campus. Despite taking on leadership role during planning, he has effectively worked to improve the school by building trust with staff, fostering a collaborative environment and revitalizing culture. His selfless nature is always looking for ways to recognize and encourage his students and staff. It's calm to meet her under pressure and significant positive impact in a short period of time makes him worth this honor. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. And now we like to recognize my retirees. Let's put you last because that way you've had to wait 30 plus years to be able to do so much a few more minutes, right? We're glad to have with us tonight the Yang Hall County retired teachers group. If you will kind of raise your hand,

024let everybody know who we are. So the good news is I'm going to make a fix for them that as you walk out this aisle the door tonight they have some pamphlet information for you to join this amazing opportunity here to continue to serve because we know in education you never really retire when education when you serve a community you can't just stop doing that. Uh and so a great way to to continue that service is to plug in to the local retirement group and our retirees here do a fantastic job in supporting not only our current school system but just families in general and helping make that transition into retirement. I like invite Miss Priscilla our deputy superintendent to come and recognize our retirees principles. We are going to ask that we recognize each

025school if you would join them for the picture. Uh we have for you a shirt. Uh Mr. you know, if you would please hold one of those up. We started using that a few years ago. It's a retired element. It's on the red element. Serves a dual purpose. We also have an acrylic that is had your name. Thank you for a career in education that also kind of resembles the cameo to connect the two. Uh I will say we we were not able to get a full shipment in retirees because some of you decided a little too late to retire but it come take care of so if you would like to recognize our retirees. Good evening everyone. It is a great pleasure that we recognize city school system retirees this afternoon. Now many of

026them started their careers with us while others transferred to us from other places. Together they represent over 339 years of service. Take time out today to say thank you for the incredible service to you that you provided to the thousands of students and hundreds of families whose lives will forever be positively impacted because of your dedication. Now we would also like to extend our sincerest gratitude to your families, the many husbands, wives, significant others, children, and grandchildren for their sacrifices because we know that at times you were missing in action because the countless hours we gave to the Angel City School family.

031I would like to thank those who were involved in the graduation ceremonies Friday night. We graduated around 650 students. I love this. Thank you for your leadership. Hey guys. We would like to entertain to adopt the [Music] motion carries. [Music] Yeah, just an item of information about that June 2nd work session date getting moved to June 9th just the following week. That's just of note. Um, June 2nd, June 9th, I will still be at the Oak Street office. And then Miss Colin, you want to come up tell us about uh new teacher orientation for next year? We got a new school year, huh? That's right. On to the next year. So, um, this is just a reminder and we'd like to invite you all to come out on July 23rd. Um it's going to be

032at the stadium again. Um it starts with breakfast at our local house. So come out and get some good breakfast that day. Um and then um they will also be at your schools on the 24th and the drive from the church 25th in case you want to come to breakfast or go by and say hello to them when they're there. Any questions? Thank you. All right, we do have four action items. You want to start off with the property? Yeah, the next two items that will go together and Mr. Nile and Mr. Pell will join us in just a moment. But for over at 40 years, I Watson has been the home to Gall and there have been little to no improvements out there in that time. Currently, we have a hidden facility on the

033Gainville High School campus. uh that has really three lanes that are there. It's about 25 years old. Um out at Island Watson, there are no locker rooms, so kids are used to changing the car, changing the parking lot for the last four years. And in my eight years here, there's always been requests to do something in that area. If you remember or you recall back in 2020 when the east flask was approved uh the first priority after the primary projects which will be nice with city park second project behind that was Ivy Watson and the projects behind that were the gym space that new hall ga and centennial and so we're just following along that line and has taken a little bit longer because the cost of everything continues to increase more than we ever

034anticipated. We were very fortunate to be able to complete the middle school and all the renovation of the high school as quickly as we did. Uh because I would guarantee you that if we were tried to do that now, it would be about 75% increase over what we paid at that time. So the first part of doing this is there's a piece of property when you go out leave Walrip Drive and then you take a lead up to turn out Watson uh below that that lower parking lot down the road. That area is actually owned by Gainesville Parking R. to the city of Gainesville onto that piece of property and that's where we're looking to put a locker room in the facility and so forth. It's about 113 acres. I believe the city of Gainesville

035at the work session last week looked at this item. They'll be voting on tomorrow. Um if it doesn't go through, then of course it is void. However, this would be us moving forward to purchase that acre for $10. the big question by Dr. Any questions? All those favorites if you would uh and if you don't mind pull up we didn't put the name actually it's on that one you scroll down there. Yes bottom page. So more members there where you can see the road that's going from kind of the top right down to the bottom left. That is Lee Walter and you can see the parking lot kind of in the bottom right corner. So it's that space in between the road and that parking lot. Thank you. All right. Next item goes along with

036this and Miles is going to come up and talk about the process kind of what we're looking to do in that space and I'll be able to answer any questions you have. Mr. Yes. And that special proposal is that we will build an indoor uh bathroom facility baseball. It will be there complex. Uh we solicited bids posted on our state procurement site as well as our district website. We had a mandatory walk through uh to look at the uh area. We had four companies that participated in walk through. We had two companies that came back with a proposal. One of them was Tri Construction Company out of College Park and the other was Caribbean Construction Company here in Gainesville. Uh we had a committee. We went through our rubric. Uh we had our set criteria

037and uh our committee settled on the fact based on uh cost as far as cost as far as time uh completion date and as far as also the uh percentage for the company based on the proposals cost the completion date and committee chose car construction of company for the indoor facility in the amount 3 million6 625,29155. Mr. Personnel, can you talk a little bit more about uh the number of lanes uh that will be in the facilities also as other components of the indoor facility. You also have with you a GMV which is guaranteed maximum price uh from Caravan Construction Company. Built into it is also uh contingency for uh unforeseen things that might come up that uh we might want to do. Uh for instance with paving the parking lot and also for any

038additions that we might add to the project as it elongated you pull up the rendering this. Yes. I already have queued up. So, this would be looking from left field back. If you don't mind zooming in head to that facility that's just beyond that first base. So, that that's where we're talking about being located. Uh the roof structure is going to be a little different based on that, but we'll have uh other similarities that that will look just like that. It's about 10,000 square ft, I believe. And uh so, Mr. First we'll talk about some of the challenges that we face and it's causing some price to be higher than anticipated. So the challenges that we're facing is one is the timeline that we're shooting to be done by next baseball season. The build the

039building itself and the procurement of all the supplies has been a challenge. So trying to get everything ordered in so that can start soon as we can be done by December. The challenge is getting proper one and then now getting all out and ready to go. You talk a little about the water line that doesn't go there. So the current water line stops up at the entrance to the park. So we're going to bring it all the way down to the to the building itself. One of the things that the city has asked us about is for fire hydrants and fire protection. So we had to move down in order to meet currents right now. What kind of water line do we have running to the press box concessions and all that? So that's a

040regard out there. We just have a small 3/4 in water line hundreds of feet. So there's very little water pressure. We're going to upgrade that while we're coming down. We're going to go ahead and tie in the current press box for the next year or two to help that life situation. So that'll be that's going to be a huge help for us. You can imagine some restrictions in 1986 versus what we have now 25 something different. the water service purpose as long as we could. It continues to be an issue and I know you need anything to do out that direction we do to extend that water line. This building is going to have I thought William said it's just over 10,000 square ft. So actually have five lanes, full size louns, restrooms and coaches

041off all be house inside. So that that's not part of this project. Yes, we'll have to phase in like we did city park. Um, one of the things you realize when we wanted to do the fields about some of the challenges that are underneath the field. So, we have again that field was built in 1986. So, a lot of things changed since then. One, we have several power lines, scoreboard lines, and the internet all run underneath underneath the field. The original press box was hooked to a 7. So, we still have that there as well. And there's severe grade changes out there. So, there's going to be a tremendous amount of grade that'll go in the building. I think we're about 11 ft to one area, 13 ft from another. So the whole fields like

042that present a lot of challenges when we build it and we feel like we'll do it and the press box at the same time. So we'll have a plan if we don't meet the deadline by December. We currently still have the outside. So we would we would just keep it for a few more months. And then we also had outdoor two outdoor lights and the insurance coming season for the next. Well, we would come back to you uh as we uh put together plans as you work with an architect and also uh field management company. We'll bring that post back to you uh you know based on funding there and we look to maybe present something to you in the next fiscal year. Okay. And then also project is that correct? If funds are available

043following summer when we finish phase two of this to get started on one of the three gym you would do that then any other questions with Mr. Niles or Mr. Motion to request a motion by Dr. Brand here second got a second by Mr. Y any question just out of curiosity in the contingency contingency that's built into the contract they don't use it is it back to our advantage yeah all right any other questions all those in favor motion carries thank you Mr. President, Mr. Appreciate it. Mr. Niles, you have correct. The next one that I have uh every five years requires each district come up with facil five facility plan and that is to either come up with from conceptual or to improve add to the uh existing facility plan. They require us to

044use uh our own consultant that's provided to us by know at no cost to us. What you're asked to sign tonight is just be an agreement that we will use their consult to help us enhance our next 5year plan in that uh Mr. Young asked about uh the gyms and everything that would come after the baseball. One thing that this five-year plan does helps us to identify and grow our entitlement and our entitlement helps us to add on deal and help with those facilities. So, we'll be looking at enhancing our plan uh to include uh those gyms at those locations and we'll walk away with five plan that'll give us an implementation time for those gyms. We were able to use the time last time to to basically pay for one of the building because

045they had closed out the nth trade center and some other stuff on campus. Um we usually do advanced funding on that. This time it'll actually be approved and it get be able to use it when it's ready. Part of that plan will also consist of additional classroom space at GA as well as New Holland and probably not on this five-year plan, but the next one we'll need to be looking at a new elementary school uh because of the growth that we just had kind of on the north eastern end of of the city. So that kind of gives you a 10-year outlook. Um but the next five years, we've been following on this plan fairly well from all the state. Um and board members that also means that next year when we do our nine

046hours of training, one of those will probably be on facilities. We'll visit the sites 12 hours, right? 12 hours. Yeah. 12 hours for exempilities, we can we will change our learning plan based on some of the main things that are coming up over the next five years. All right. Do we have a motion to adopt the resolution? We have a motion second by Mr. F. Thank you, Mr. [Music] W. Hback. I know we had about HVAC and all that. Where we go with the new campus? I was doing part of the building and one of the teachers came in her room is not working. She's got it lower than her. I'm sure we're working on that, right? It is actually we're waiting on a compressed sand lo for that unit. Uh so yeah, we're aware

047we're working on it. Uh we've probably throughout our district wide, we probably have 15 to 18,000 separate units. And so I I would say at any given moment, we may have uh five to nine that's down, you know. So our in-house and maintenance crew and then also we have a couple of companies that are always on call to us. We've gone through the vetting process. We have those on call with us as well. So yeah, it's just a matter of getting the parts and we'll get it back up and running. And who's high school? They got all new. All right. Thank you. This is to the April final result. April was our 10th month of the fiscal year. Our year today revenues are at 98.7. That's 93.8% of our values. This time last year we
