001[Music] I'm going to put you on speaker. I'm just getting the YouTube video going live and then I'm going to plug my phone in and put you on speaker and then you get started. Sound good? Okay. Hey, thank you. You can choose to mute and do that. Chelsea, Chelsea is off. That's what I think comes together. Mr. Grove, how are you? Dr. Shel all right. Happy Monday. >> Okay, we have six o'clock, so we'll get the meeting called to order. Join me to the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Hey, Chelsea is on the phone and Sherry is unable to be with us tonight. From there,
002we need um to approve approval of the agenda, a consent agenda. >> So move. [Music] >> Need a second. >> Second. >> All in favor say yes. Yeah. >> Yes. >> Any oppose? No. That carries. Chelsea said yes. >> 6. >> So 6. Okay. And do we have any comments from the public? Comments from the public tonight. So we'll move to the donations report. We have a minute. We have some donations from the Keteride grant for uh Miss Reeves and Miss uh Fuller. That'd be a third grade over at Eisenhower. And um Catcherside is an organization that uh supports a lot of different groups and a lot of different entities, but we're always very thankful for um what they do for us. And so uh this will help them in their classrooms over the course
003of this year is from the art symposium, Ketraide Arts Symposium. So again, we are always pretty fortunate, not pretty. We're very blessed to have a lot of really good um community support and engagement and uh and actual investment each uh month in our kiddos. So there's no other questions. We would be seeking approval of these gifts and grants. >> So second all in favor say yes. >> Any oppose with no 6. That's wonderful um support and look forward to seeing some of that work come forward. 4.1 the superintendence report. >> Yeah, thank you so much. So, I wanted to update you all on a couple of things and I'm going to try to scroll out here a little bit. I move a couple screens around. Um, I wanted to remind you, but really kind of
004give you an update of the context behind it. Um, a couple of you have asked, and you may be asked out in the public, uh, how did state assessments go last spring? And unfortunately, the answer to that is we believe that they went well, but we don't have results back yet. Um, but I wanted to give you a little bit more information to kind of equip you with uh what it is that's going on at the state level and why it is why it's being delayed. So, um, there was a time, you know, I can't remember if that was like 2012 or something. Uh, there was like technology issue that delayed some of it. Um, and uh, I'll get you I'll get our gallery doesn't have Yeah. Um doesn't have aren't able to see this.
005So the state board actually this week uh will be taking a vote on new state assessment cut scores uh during the next couple of days. So you meet on Mondays, they do a two-day meeting once a month on Tuesday, Wednesday, and so that's what they're taking up. But I just wanted to share a little bit of the context behind what that means and uh and why it is that they're um so so why is that contributing to to this delay? So just as a quick reminder the the CAPS is what we refer to it as KAP. That's the Kansas Assessment Program. They're going to vote they being the state board will vote on the new scale and new cut scores at this up in over the next couple of days likely. I believe it's on
006the agenda actually for tomorrow. Um just as a reminder that our our CAP tests cover the English language arts, math and and science for grades 3 through 8 and our 10th graders. The scale scores are they take those individual scores and they convert those to total points earned into a consistent reporting system across each year. So that way you can compare individuals and cohorts across each of those years. So that's the scale scores, but the cut scores are how they divide them into what's a level one, a level two, a level three, and a level four. And what occurred over the course of this summer um is and what had even been occurring over the course of the spring was they were were taking a look at how do we act how do we make
007sure that the cut scores are accurately capturing where students are performing such that we don't do a cut score let's say a 40 yard dash I don't know roads what's a really fast 40 yard dash and four five four five that's a great answer I only knew five flat That was mine and I knew that it wasn't a good one. But >> we don't want a cut score that says five flat is a really good 40 because then that's going to let Shiloh walk around saying I'm really fast when I may need actually intervention to get faster. And we also don't want to actually have a cut score that says a 42 is really fast because that actually keeps those kids like Mr. Roads who can run a 4.5. that actually says that you're performing
008lower than where you should be. So that's my best analogy on for today. But the re what they did was they pulled 150 educators from across the state. They looked together to develop cut scores for each individual test question across all of those tests. Third, third through 8th grade, 10th grade for math, science, math, science, and English. Then they feed those into the the broader algorithm. Okay. So this all takes time. Of course, the work had to occur over the summer and now it's finally being presented then to the board, state board of education for final approval tomorrow. Here's my understanding. We should have if approved, we should have results and by we Mcfersonen and all other school districts should have results fairly quickly. I'm putting quotes around that because fairly quickly to some might
009be the next day and fairly quickly to some might be a month later. I'll just keep you posted as we learn more. Um, but as soon as we have them, we'll be able to then start uh communicating and sharing that information with you. Um, I will say if they are not approved, if that change tomorrow isn't approved, um, then I'm actually given to understand it could actually be a little bit longer to delay because all of this work has gone in towards preparing for new cut scores to be in place and reverting back may actually end up taking more time. So, that's what I know up to this point. My my clarifier for out there is just to note that because I've even had some say well they just you know their the verbiage that
010they've used is as well are you just dumbing down the level so that again so that the five flat that Shiloh runs is somehow considered to be fast and the reality is that we've known since the start and the implementation of the new Kansas uh assessment program in 201 15 I believe that it was was that at least as we correlated the data to ACT scores, students who could score a high ACT were were oftent times scoring a level two and that didn't necessarily correlate. So, we believe that that we the state of Kansas and those that have worked on this fundamentally believe that we're going to better capture and uh where students are at and and more accurately accurately reflect their abilities and their mastery of grade level content. So, again, as I as
011I learn more, I will let you know. But it's just I think it's a clarifier that's worth what is being said here and as you get questions out there. Um, one of the things that I've been proud of in my time as superintendent and each of you who has served on this, our past history has been since 2020, um, that as soon as we have them, we incorporated those into our June work session and we, you as a board, we as a team evaluated and and examined what went well, what didn't. We've not been able to do that this year and um, yet, but as soon as we get these finalized, we will. So, any questions on that? I included, by the way, this what I've included here is just a uh snapshot of what
012the board will be taking a look at over the coming days. Shiloh, when we understand that the crux of this uh redetermination has come from understanding that kids who have really high ACTs were at a level two and that we needed we there was some work to do around that. >> Is there any um >> I do want to be clear that was that's anam that's my example. I don't hear anybody saying that that's their example. That's what I was wondering is like where could we find examples of that to just help the public understand that this is always the good work that should be happening is we should be determining you know are we evaluating correctly >> and if we're not how do we shift >> yeah you know there was again I have
013to pull this up one of the one of the key kind of examples again that was used a few years ago was we were compared to Iowa and and Florida specifically um because those state assessments apparently students were seemingly in those states performing better on their state assessments. So the question kind of at the crux of it was well why did you know why putting quotes around that why would Florida and Iowa have students performing so much better than Kansas? Well, that's a by the way, that's a relatively understandable question to pose if you think that they're all apples and apples, but in fact, they're >> apples and oranges or in some cases, like I like to say, they're apples of license plates. They're not even close to the same thing. And so when they
014actually took a look at the rigor of those assessments, it was pretty evident that again, not picking on two other states, but those state assessments in those locations were not uh written with the same rigor of of grade level content as what the Kansas students were being tested on each year. And so, but that that become that's just an example of the conversation that has to be had at the state level and we get the same types of questions here locally. Ultimately, we feel like we again the state feels like and I'm eager to see. I've not seen any early versions of this at all. Um, so that'll be new information for me as well. But I would anticipate if the new cut scores are part in, we would hope to see um some improvement
015in our we would hope to see improvement. I hear regardless of what the state board does in the coming days, we would hope to see some continued improvement. >> Did we have anyone from USD48 participate as an educator to help in this process? >> I do not know. Uh, not to my knowledge, but um, great question though. >> Just curious to see how if they're taking something now and applying it to something that was how that cross if it's a crosswalk or what that means because data is and data then looks at something to print. I I I I don't know. Well, we don't obviously know, but I'm I hope there's some guidance so that when we do have the data and whoever's helping us understand it, there will be some key explanations commentary than
016anything else. >> Well, I I will say we we knew that there was going to be a delay due to the process of this. So, I know that there was preparation for this occurring and I'd anticipate that especially as it relates to uh the Kansas Education Systems accreditation process, KISSA is what we refer to that as. So then how do you as a board we as a system take a look at the data that is now in front of us and how does that relate to our school improvement efforts across VERSA and for other districts around the state. Well, thank you so much. If you do hear questions by and if you don't feel equipped to answer them, by all means, let me know and I'm happy to to talk with anyone. But I just
017like to remind people, not every board out there, not every district out there is in is in the same process of us of setting aside time in June to to sit down and take a and dig through how did our year go? Uh what did how did our students perform? and you've all done that um each and every year uh and we weren't able to do that this year. So as we're able to we'll we will and uh look forward to those conversations. So thank you. >> Well, it's also a part of our strategic plan and so we are held responsible as a board and back to the district and the public of what one part of our key um the work um that impacts other work that we see. So, we'll look forward to
018Will you send us once if that's if we know that? >> Once I'm aware, you'll be aware. Yep. >> Perfect. >> Okay, we'll move on to old business 5.1 >> roundhouse floor. We have a lot to update you on. And I'm gonna invite Bill to come up. I want to get you up to speed on kind of where we've been. and where we're currently at. And then want to invite the board to have conversation around a couple of things because I know there's been some some questions posed to me that I think would need a broader board discussion. But first, just a little background. >> Are you you're good. Um so just a little background for you just as an update on here. Um and as a part of ongoing our efforts to address the
019flooding concerns at the high school, we continue to work closely with Cob Valley Engineers and Inside Design Studios. So we appreciate Dwayne being here uh to identify effective long-term solutions. So I guess let me pause there for a minute and just name it for potentially others listening. roundhouse floods back in June. The concern at that point is we need to demo the roundhouse. We need to identify what's the cost effective solution to replace it. Brought that forward to you. You took action to move forward with uh uh Langford to help do the demo and to to improve the concrete to make sure that that our floor can go in and then install a floor. They have been uh they have demoed the floor and they're in the process of bringing that concrete to a a
020>> they're leveling it so that they get ready for the next installation. >> We have up to this date though said push pause and we asked them to push pause on ordering any hardware or sorry hardwood or anything like that when we got a secondary rain event that resulted in water getting into the roundhouse. Both of those are historic uh amounts of rain. We my my understanding is we've had a pretty substantial potentially historic amount of rain just in total rainfall as a community this year. Um but for us as a system two rain events water into the roundhouse. Now it now we transition from okay now it's not just about how do we replace the floor. it was what other things need to occur to help keep flooding from occurring again in the future
021if for if we're going to continue to see this amount of rainfall. So all this past Monday ci along with IDS provided a proposal um and we are moving forward with the recommended services. Those services include a topographic survey to assess the site and then give it obviously inform the necessary changes, a drainage analysis to evaluate current and future storm water management needs and uh civil construction documents obviously for grading and erosion uh control uh modifications to our detention pond. Cost of that is 11,450. Just a note that permitting assistance and construction administration would be build hourly as required thereafter. Let me give you some key findings uh that have been kind of outlined for us thus far. The detention pond capacity. So we have a detention pond that sits just north of the um
022roundhouse back behind that roundhouse the parking there's a detention pond in there. That's where the water runoff flows. It's the findings indicate that that the detention pond located there is unders sized for these levels of a of a rain event. We would agree with that. That's what for sure we we saw that the rain got in there. To address this, they want the survey as indicated above. We are going to do an assessment of the existing pump system to determine its ability to handle future high water volume. So the water that runs through the Slooh up there north, so water comes through and then it flows past our on our property and then over to Cedars and then on down through the rest of the community. One of the things that we have as a
023as a safety mechanism, all of our water from our detention pond runs into that same slooh from the south to the north into that same pond or into that same slaf measure. When the water gets to a certain level, there's a gate, a metal check valve is what I call it, that gets closed off by the water so that the water from that side from the north side of our detention pond doesn't flow into the flow into our detention pond and then back up on down in. We have two pumps in place. One of them was actually a secondary pump that we put in um just on our own just to in hopes of better addressing this issue. But the question on here is, is the pump system set that is in place enough to
024address the volume of water that flows into our detention pond and pump it up and over and back into that north side of the that so it can flow on through Cedars and and out the the rest of the city. I'm going to get not I'm not going to guess based on feedback that I've heard um in talking with others a lot of those pumps and their capacity if if it go as you're putting it in even if it was right sized it would have 100% capacity when it was installed but as it gets older like a lot of things when we get older we're just not able to do 100% capacity that we could have 10 12 years ago and so that's a question is it may even be right size but is the
025pump itself self working at a high enough capacity. Okay, so two things are already been identified. We need to dig out the detention pond and make it deeper and we need to check and likely we'll need to do something to address the pumps in that area. Okay, I mentioned the deepening of the pond and ensure proper functioning of the floodgate. an estimated uh it's estimated thousand cubic yards of soil will need to be removed to expand the capacity and I've shared that with with you as a board um in other communications but just reminding you here that that's estimated around $10,000 could be more could be less but those are the kinds of numbers that we've also worked with insight to review the actual backside of the roundhouse and Um, and there's a couple of
026other items that may be worth the board's beyond just keeping the water improving the detention and the flood the potential the pumps and things like that. We there is a potential for raising uh all of our basement door level uh entries on the north side of the roundhouse >> east northeast. >> Sorry. northeast. Yeah. By 14 in to enhance flood protection by lifting them up. Ultimately, what happened was once the water got down into that area, the ground level of the entryways, I mean, it built up and just ran through the doorways. So, this would prevent those things from occurring in the future. those costs are still being compiled and I don't have those at this time. Nor do I think that that's that's kind of a secondary consideration probably for a bigger part of
027the conversation around future of McFerson High School as a physical space and what that might entail. So our next steps and and then I want to pause and answer any questions but also just kind of invite the board to have dialogue. We have proceeded with this the topographic survey and the drainage analysis. Um we do have we do continue to coordinate uh with engineers obviously we have insight with us call valley. We've also coordinated with the city and the original engineers who had looked at all of the drainage of the city along with our high school site back in 2020. I believe it was 22 maybe. Um, and we have ongoing we have ongoing conversations with them to make sure that as many experts can be around the table as they are that can help
028us come up with some solutions. Um, obviously I'll continue to provide updates. So, let me pause there. Um, I think we're anticipating a couple weeks still before we'll have uh the full scope of what all those recommendations are from a like a a civil engineering dirt moving those conversations and they don't have those today. What questions can we answer to this? >> Go ahead, Chelsea. the concrete work that you authorized to do on the floor, was that included in the budget or in the gave us or is this an additional fee on top of that? >> That was includ some amount of that was included in there. There may be Chelsea just as a I appreciate that as a reminder to the board that was technically it's through we that's a service through green that
029we were able to get connected with through Green Bush. So there's a possibility that the concrete work may be slightly more or slightly less. Um but it was yes the concrete work was included in the initial estimate that they gave us. >> Okay, perfect. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> What um do we know if anything about the turf and any water flow in this whole conversation? Um >> yeah, so I appreciate that question. Just as a reminder kind of just as a reminder for those who would have been around and people can try to challenge this but the the but it is accurate. The actual field itself really serves and the fields of that nature they have a drainage s they have a drainage um structure to them. they actually will slow down the
030runoff of water of rain events like this. So it's actually while some would say well that didn't occur in the past when the field wasn't there and now the field's there and it's occurred. My understanding is the last time we had a 9 in rain at the same time. I don't know how many years ago that that was, but it would have predated not just the field being there, but would have for sure predated our weld shop being there, possibly the auxiliary gym being there. And so there's a lot of sight improvements that have occurred since we experienced that substantial of rain. But the but the physical layout of the field there's no indication because the way that it's designed it's it actually helps to slow the the run of water. Um the question though
031is do both areas have have they silted in and that's where we I believe the experts that have looked at it believe that there that's why we need to dig out that that area or does the drainage from the field actually go after there it actually flows to the it flows into the east side um and flows out through the basically on into cedar. Some portion of it does some portion of it uh on the north to be the south side of our field and some of that surrounding area flows into our own detention pond that then flows out into the or flows to the north there and then out through Cedars by Cedars. >> Yeah. My my understanding would be that there's a certain portion of it that comes off of the like you
032said off the the south end of the of the the field the turf which then accumulates into our retention pond. But ultimately things that either immediately or eventually flow into the runoff of the the parkway that goes um north of our retention pond and around the south end of the Cedars and then flows on the east side of Cedars through our parks and then eventually out of town. >> Yeah. >> So can you go further with that with us, Bill? because going further uh right there's still a lot of buildup and so how's that part of the this is a bigger need of a solution question mark >> I I certainly would agree with that um I mean um it's it's not for me to speculate what engineer civil engineers would would say was best
033but it sure would be nice to have some more retentionability on the north side of town and on the south side of town, but Turkey Creek is where the eventuality of where that ends up and ends up overflowing and you know, you know, distributes from there, but that was obviously all flooded and and badly in need of drainage as well. So, I don't know if that answers your question. >> Right. So, is that part of the conversation, Dr. Vincent that you had with the city or whoever the other parties are about this being a it's a bigger the community solutioned. >> Yeah. I mean I >> the short Yes. That's been a part of the conversation obviously what we're able to control versus what other different group I mean the reality is and there's been
034conversation my understanding is in McFersonen of the the reality of of really what the needs are is is almost like a reservoir north of McFersonen Kansas to capture any of the rainfall that occurs between Lindberg and McFersonen and and can capture that and be a giant retention pond essentially for the broader community. Um, and that that was something that was, you know, if you the secondary event, of course, everything was saturated already, but then within a few weeks when that secondary storm came in, um, it built from the north from Sal. It kind of kept back building. So it started it kind of built back from not kind of it built started in its line and then it continued to as that air flowed up it continued to to backflow from the north down very
035slowly to the south. So we on site had about a 5- in rain but we had had a very slowmoving rain event that was occurring on the between basically Salina Lindberg all the way down and that north area experienced flooding and then also received 5 in of rain here on our side and elsewhere and that's why most places saw with what was perceived to be just a 5 in rain saw looked at their doors and saw what looked like the exact same thing that they had seen on June 18th. The was that drainage ditch built west southwest of the school. Is that done or there about that 22 time 2022 when you said >> southwest the one by >> northwest >> the one that starts up at >> Pulse and oh on the west side
036of campus. >> Yeah I think that was occurring and being finalized in like 1920 sometime in 2019 or sometime in 2020. Well, the actual holes portion of it probably did get finalized in that early part of the 2020s, >> but recently there Yeah, recently they remodeled that that drainage system that I don't know if Hul is there, but behind Dylan's and then through that residential area and then it comes >> onto our property and >> and that the interesting thing about that is that despite the fact that it was overflowing extensively, it didn't reach our building. Um it was on the west side. >> On the west side. Yeah. >> And it was to my understanding almost a foot over first street at that point too. Um >> during both of these storm >> well
037the first one for sure. >> Maybe the second one but um yeah even even so that backs up into the park but um that doesn't flow that way. It's the subset of the roundhouse that's the issue because that is in a lower grade and on the other side it doesn't get to us. >> So do we have any estimates about pump replacement because they may have given you >> I have no estimated cost for any of those at this time. >> Um >> as I learned that information I would give that to you. I wouldn't even want a spitball. >> I don't either. I know that one of the things that's being recommended is that we look at a different type of pump that is a higher volume pump. It's actually a slower moving pump,
038but um in speaking with some of the specialists that we spoke to that um deal with some of the the wastewater in McFirst and they're they've talked about a a pump that would serve us better, but we haven't even gone very far into that. We've been waiting on the analysis that asked for before we even >> But that's a point though that there's other things too where we could potentially replace the pumps as they are, but we may have a recommendation that says put um what he's talking about would I call it an augur pump because it's basically just a slow moving screw basically inside of the casing and it just but it just and it just sits there and slowly lifts it up and drops it off. What's happened is that it's the fundamental
039belief that what's happened is is once that gate gets shut, we've never we've not seen any indication that the water has run over our levy throughout the process, but it shuts it off and then the pumps aren't able to keep up with getting the water thrown out onto the other side. And so between deepening it and better pumps of some kind, that's what we that's what I would tell you I'd anticipate being the recommendations. But costs, I'm not aware. I don't know those at this time. >> And when we say civil engineers, does is that a company and that's just the kind of designated um way that they're described or is that something that has to do like the US corpse of civil engineering? Yeah. So, cow valley our civil engineers. Civil engineers are different
040from our architectural or our mechanical civil engineers only look at the grade and the dirt work of of sites and and uh a lot of civil engineers I guess technically do uh foundations and bridge buildings. So when I'm referring to the to the different civil engineers that we've talked with there's been two different groups that over the history of this we're working with C Valley which is the civil that's their expertise is run off water runoff grade level what what dirt improvements can be fixed at this site and then we had previously worked with as did the city MK >> EC um who was uh group who who knows McFersonen's water issues very well and so they're aware of all of the different project and but both groups are aware of the various projects from
041a water perspective around around the community >> and when we >> but nothing to do with civil uh nothing to do with the Army Corps of Engineers or anything like Yeah, I I assumed it wasn't, but I just wanted to, you know, there's there's people that of course show up on the scene that we have referrals from other places, but you know, what are because we've already worked with one and now here we have another one on the scene and we know that there's some just some real struggles citywide. I remember the mayor talking about this a decade ago and wanting the city to move on some things and so um >> but are there when we go and we do this kind of work are there any guarantees for any of this that the
042work they come in and do will create a true remedy or is it like we hope this will work >> well they'll run that's a great question um they will run their various calculations and I mean they they literally have for a variety of metrics that they will run and say if it's at this level it it will do this it would produce you know they have outputs that they would statistically evaluate all civil engineering any group that we work with that could reassure this board and others that if these things were put into place this kind of a rain event could be um prepared for what we can't prepare for is and it's what we've seen in this situation is a historic flood. Let me see that. We can do that. But it's if
043McFersonen's never had a 14-in rain and we go through this whole process and it's verified that it can handle whatever historic rain that we've ever had and then there's a torrential downpour of a 14-in rain and now there's issues. I don't know that I don't know that they any group would be able to peer into the future and say you will absolutely leave for the end of time. >> So there is a guarantee that they can mitigate this for a 9 in rank. >> We would hope let me let me refra this way if they they're going to give us all the solutions that are going to make it the best possible and that's the goal. I would anticipate if they don't believe that there's enough site improvements that within the context of it, they'll
044probably offer these are the other things you would need to do if they're for some reason above beyond what we've talked about. And I would imagine knowing most engineers if that was if all of the potential options were not going to be able to achieve what you you know saying yes, this was you going to be fine, then they will indicate that and say this will mitigate it up to that level. But we've not heard anything I've not heard anything to this point that has me concerned. But we also haven't heard from officially uh these these reports and it'll be a couple weeks still before we >> you know Shiloh for me um just on a small scale you know we worked with um Precision Dirt Works and I've got to spend a whole day
045with Roger um and so I know that this this can be um there's a lot of times that we give it our very best effort and It's still surprise. There's surprises that can come, right? Sure. >> So, I get that. And so, for me to feel good about moving forward with any of this, you know, I don't think that the that it the mitigation strategy for basement level doors is something we consider down the road. >> I mean, I think that's on the table ASAP before we stick a floor in there. >> That's and and again, once we have official estimates on that, I'll bring that to the board as well. That'll be in front of this group. I just don't have those at the current time >> because that seems like, you know, not
046a fail safe. We don't have that in the world. I recognize that. But that seems like, hey, we know that if we do this, that's going to give us, you know, 14 in to enhance. >> Sure. >> That's that's quite a bit of protection. At least maybe if we did ever get water and it wouldn't be the amounts that we saw that we were having such a hard time because there was so much, >> you know. Um, so I appreciate that. I guess I want to be clear on kind of how I said that. I because I did reflecting on how I said that that is absolutely something that the board would want to consider whether that's now or or based on potential cost estimates whether that's down the road. But once we have those,
047we'll bring that to group. >> Are we so complex? Um and the timing is never good. Um, but even more so with us when we're looking at what we're doing facilitywise and needs and school starts Tuesday. Um, which means nice weather. So, we're okay for outdoor >> gym time PE I'm guessing at this point. Um, but I struggle to know how to move forward. So I just want to say that out loud um because I don't know what the floor and what options we have. So >> well IDS process now in the process of doing facility assessments you know both from a physical standpoint and you know what staff needs and wants. We are in the pro we'll actually demortal hear an update here uh for following agenda item on kind of where we're at
048with facility assessments and what that's going to expect. Um, yeah, Chelsea, >> I just wanted to kind of piggy back off what Lyra was saying is we as a board not we're not sure where we're going to go forward and what we're doing. And I know as hard as this sounds, but we have to take the emotion off the table right now and we have to really dive into what our facilities are going to look like. What is the future of person look like? And I'm having a really hard time. We're now over $300,000 into replacing this floor and having all these engineers come in. And at what point do we stop and say this saving this is not financially responsible? I know everyone talks about the legacy of this being a person, but I'm
049from our basketball team and our volleyball teams and our wrestling teams are going to be phenomenal regardless of where they play because it's not the building they're in, it's the teachers and the coaches and the athletes. So, I just I as hard as it is to take emotion out, I think we really need to dive into those conversations before we just keep putting money into this. That's that's where I want to come from, Chelsea, this period. But isn't that uh part of what the architectural services are doing for us in assessing you know where the improvements are needed and are some things worth improving or should we look at different direction? uh you know that we kind of have to wait on what some of their expensements are and what we hired them to do.
050I think >> yes, I agree and I understand that. I'm just saying we're spending a lot of money doing this when we don't even have an idea of where we as a board or as a community want to move forward. So, I want to kind of take this really slow and actually make sure we're making the best financial decisions for our district and our community and not basing it off emotions. And I feel like a lot of times things are based off emotions. And right now, we're at a very big pivotal moment where that stuff has to be removed off the table and we've got to do what is financially responsible for our district and our stakeholders, you know, and our teachers. I mean, we've got teachers moving back into the building now. Um, have
051those teachers in the roundhouse been relocated? Do they have new homes for their class? >> Has the air quality been >> been tested in there to make sure our kids are going to be able to go back in there safely? Like, these are all questions I still have that I don't really have answers for. >> Well, I can say yes to those things and that's something we monitor. I mean to be clear from a from an air quality standpoint, obviously there was a lot of construction in there and de and demoing of our site, but the air quality um was the the concern during during the removal of the gem, specifically the tar that was uh on the the beams of the floor underneath of that uh subfloor uh was was the biggest uh concern.
052And that's that particular demo has occurred. But yes, we've just for the board's sake and to answer that question is we've taken action um to to relocate those folks temporarily. And uh yes, we of course continue to monitor to make sure that air quality is safe. We believe that since we're through that that that that is uh not a concern, but we continue to monitor in case it would be. I I guess I want to clarify as it what I'm hearing you say though because I don't know that it's outwardly being said but and I'm not putting I don't want to put words in your mouth but a question was posed to me uh Chelsea that I'm wondering is if it's really if it's what you're asking which is does this board know whether we
053are moving forward with a facility planned in the future that includes the roundhouse stain? >> Yes, that is the exact question I want to ask. Is this board 100% unanimously stuck on we are moving forward with salvaging the roundhouse and we're going to continue to put money into it or are we going to pause and actually reflect and see if there's other options that we can do that are not saving the roundhouse and like I said I know that's a terrible question to ask but it's one that has to be said and we have to talk about it. >> Let me let me throw a wrinkle into things. this I this I I I want to be very clear. I only learned about this as even being a possibility today. Um but it's something that
054I've I've wondered as it relates to this conversation, which is my our init my initial question was um to Langford, our current the group that we're currently working with to say, I know at Tony's Pizza there's temporary floors. They come in, they set those up. Um, what what would it look like for us, for the board as an option to have a temporary floor? Temporary, I'm putting quotes around, meaning that not that we would be taking it up and breaking it down. It would serve as the floor for for however long uh until some future version of whenever a different location was was built or or emerged. then that could be taken apart, relocated to that so that any initial investment now could be repurposed and and reused in a new space. And what what
055we learned really from them is that we're still actually waiting on an official cost on that that I I'll let you know, but I anticipate that cost at least as as kind of our initial discussion started was that there uh would likely be pretty close to what we've already been talking about or or potentially more. However, there was a group that reached out to us um and they they basically rent and or sell temporary floors, gym floors. And that can that could be a potential consideration. Um what that would look like is they've essentially my understanding is that they essentially have gone in to like uh division one programs and other college level >> with NBA and others that have had these courts that can be moved in and out and they've bought those up
056would be my guess. Um and there's often times one or two one to three kind of refinishings left in them. So, just from a court life perspective, that gives you about 20 years up to 20 years of of life still in a gym floor. And you could actually potentially move forward with that. Here's here's what I don't know as we're talking. That could be a consideration if the board said if it was more cost-effective to do that and it gave some reassurance that us doing something now provided an opportunity for it to be reused later then that might be obviously we'll get some some hard numbers on that. I think initial estimates were like up to 70,000 for a court like that if we purchased it. Depending on the court, we could purchase for 40
057to 70 and renting could be anywhere from 5 to 10,000 a month. So, it would behoove us to purchase. The one thing that I really like about this variable or this possibility is that we would have a facility that would be usable for our students by the first week in September, which is mindblowing in consideration of the other things that we're pursuing right now. >> Let me let me >> and it's movable. >> Yes, and it's movable. But let me say that's the timing on that. That's the timing on getting a a removable this temporary which I just want to be clear if something of that nature was we would want to obviously bring a lot more details and facts to you as a board to make an informed decision and we don't h I
058don't have those today. Um there is still this other flood mitigating variable. >> Yeah. >> And I don't know that that's necessarily what's going to get resolved by >> September one. It could be I mean just talking with just from a it what I'm hearing is and I don't think that it's a bad idea. I think it's appropriate given where we're at. I'm hearing generally that the board is very interested in making sure we have flood mitigation in place before we have a floor installed. >> True. I'm hearing that right. >> Yes. and and that then will be that is going to delay any solution that we can find appropriately delay it. But I'm just naming that that that'll be a delay and there's a lot of variables surrounding that suggestion that we don't know
059yet. That's that like you said that just happened today. There's there's a lot of investigation work to do, but it was exciting to hear about. So, and again, I'd come back to even the group that we've already been working with. If we were to we were originally slated for that in installation to start August 24th with a midepptember completion. We learned later that it would be closer to midepptember. Obviously those those time frames look different as we wait to hear how we can can do that. Again, that goes back to something that I would clarify too, like from facility improvements, like we may do something with the retention pond and we might do something with our uh pumps, but that would but the time frame to get, for example, doors raised and all of those
060things also looks different, too. >> How many doors is it? So I think the bigger challenge is that I envision is you for sure have two entryways all that are person well now you have more than that five different doors. >> Yeah. But one of the things that Mr. Cash recommended was maybe closing a couple of those single door entries off completely. So then I would say you can correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Cash, but um about three walkthrough doors and then two shop doors. So there's a couple of places where we have a walkthrough door directly next to a an open shop door, right? Everyone can imagine what those look like. So closing a couple of those. So three or four plus the shop doors. >> So how do we manage with the
061storm last night? >> So we put mitigation tactics in place again just to make sure we didn't have problem. that um the the scope of the storm was so much different than the 9 in rain or the 5 in in how it came about and how and those others came so quickly that it it just accumulated more quickly. But to answer the question, we didn't have a problem at all. We had one location where I think the the the direction of the wind and rain got through a door just very very minuscule uh but nothing out of the norm. Are we capturing those kinds of issues though so that whatever we're doing in this that we are mitigating all of like so if we notice that then that can that's going to happen likely again
062right >> so thanks to this gentleman uh and the work that we've been doing with Nikki and and the grants that have come about we've we've been in the process and I I'm looking forward to the opportunity of sharing with the board the amount of work that we've accomplished this summer Um, with that said, we are in the process of replacing doors because frankly they're failing. We have a lot of infrastructure that's that needs to be addressed. We're hitting the worst scenarios first um and still in process, but a lot of work was done with doors at the high school. Those would be doors that would, you know, be in the future we'd need to address as well. >> That's one related question. Do we have an update on the potential of flood insurance? >>
063Yeah, we've looked into that and I still don't have a projected cost. Some places won't even offer it based on that. So, I I don't yet have for this group any related to potential flood insurance. >> Well, my my my hope I don't know how others feel. We really need to pursue and and know what our options are. My goal is to try to bring you a cost of well initially I'll bring my goal would be to have the have the some dialogue around it at the facility committee level and obviously ultimately up here uh just for for consideration >> the $11,000 that you quoted in one of the what was that for exactly >> that does your that ensures that the civil engineers can produce all of the do all the do the topographic
064survey the drainage analysis and then the >> there are no materials or anything involved in it. It's just their expertise. >> Yeah. They're going to create the documents so that a person can come in and execute the work. >> And you said we won't know for what a couple weeks what all these cost is. >> Say that again. >> We won't know for a couple weeks what these other related costs are. what we've been I cannot tell you based on what the potential is for any pump changes, but what we had previously been told the second number that I provided was an estimated cost of $10,000 for the dirt. So, it's we're going to have them do the deep analysis and draft up solutions along with the drawings. And then we've been told to kind
065of not kind of, we've been told to budget for $10,000 to help to u actually execute the dirt work. Charlotte, can I add to that? >> Yeah. >> And this is Dwayne. >> Dwayne cash inside science here. Thank you. Um the $10,000 was a number that was just thrown out as off the hip. Nobody really knows for sure what that entails. But if it's if it's a,000 cubic yards of soil that needs to be moved, usually budget about $5 a square foot or a cubic yard for that. So that's 5,000. So there like there's other costs included with that, but we don't know what's underneath the ground. We don't know what kind of soil we have. We don't know where the soil is going to go, you know, we're thinking right now that you're digging
066out and you're just pushing the dirt up, you know, and creating a deeper hole, but you also got to move that dirt someplace, but that dirt might need to be hauled off might need to bring dirt in. That's a lot more expensive. So those costs and that's why they that $10,000 was just learning fair is like maybe you know if we're lucky it could be 10,000 but we don't know it could be a lot more um if that embankment in the dam needs to be rebuilt which it potentially could and that pump replaced it gets more expensive >> because it's just not replacing the pump it's replacing all the other pieces of parts that go with it more power things like that we don't know. So that's why it's important that they get the design
067done so we can actually give it to construction uh person to really give hard numbers to it. That's scheduled right now. They they finish the survey work. Uh they'll be working on the actual drawings next week or two. Hopefully have some actual documents by the closer to the end of the month. And then you got to bid those documents, go through the bid process, award the the bids. So we're talking October before we we see anything that's actual start moving dirt probably. I appreciate that clarity deeply. Thank you. >> Just so I echo it because I would have staff that would be upset with me uh if I didn't. But just as a reminder, um we do have volleyball. That's the number one fall season that's impacted by this. Um our, you know, it's always
068a tug and pull trying to make sure that we can provide. Also, just I mean, day one, I appreciate what Dr. Vander have shared earlier immediately day one we have a complete we have classroom completely displaced that goes without saying um those uh volleyball tournaments in particular are not easily uh just scheduled somewhere else in town. uh those are those are very um in fact we central Christian is an example of one of the places that you can host uh two uh volleyball games happening at the same time back college isn't so there the solutions I and I only I want to name that on behalf of of Shane and the others that and doc coach Doyle and others it is going to that it's an unfortunate reality that is going to impact them and
069their student athletes It's um >> so I've been asking are we going to be able to play basketball too? >> I think it's a good question. I think that kind of goes along with what I Chelsea again not to try to put words in your mouth but that was kind that was the question that was being raised to me which is what's the future of McFersonen High School look like and does and through the facility planning process um is there consensus that boy I mean the the question is is are we quote married to the roundhouse where it is. That's the question that has been posed. I'm not I'll bring >> So, Shiloh, just for clarity, are are we um married to the idea of the roundhouse where it is because perhaps the roundhouse could
070be moved? >> I don't think you can move the roundhouse. >> Thanks. I was just clarifying that. But, you know, as I sit and listen and I've watched our journey as a community and I know that there's many competing fears and and wants and ideas, but the reality is is that it seems like at some point we have to stop and have a real honest conversation about continuing to throw good money after bad. And I mean, and I get it. We've got kids that want to play ball. And can we look at a temporary blowup gymnasium? I was just kind of Googled them online real quick. I mean, I've been inside of them before. I have no idea what they cost, right? But I love what Chelsea said. Is it time to pause and is
071it time to have our our our U company that we have agreed to walk alongside of us really give us an honest look and then go have some of those conversations with some of our vote no community who uh perhaps if they had some some real good insight could understand what we're really up against. I mean, is it time for a new high school? And I think we three years ago discovered that it was. And also have a community that felt um that it wasn't, but we're here now. And how do we do this in the most thoughtful way while also trying to to maintain our kids educational experience? It's a lot to try and process, right? Um, so I appreciate you guys going out and finding, you know, some other things. My first question
072would be, if we indeed thought that we were going to work to, uh, engage our community about moving our high school, would we keep that site and potentially have a different school there that doesn't have a huge basement in it, right? Because I mean, like, logically, we probably would. Uh >> I think even kind of pose it even a little bit different which is could you have a could you still maintain that as your high school site but do something up until up until this time up until today every rendition has always included the roundhouse stain and for that reason a lot of the architectural solutions have always been around including that >> that's a sacred kind >> there's a large site there. >> Yeah. >> That if we gave >> the kind of freedom
073to take a look at, could there be? I mean, the first thing I thought when >> I saw what we were experiencing was was, is there a way we could just go in and raise the raise that sight level of the roundhouse? Well, the reality is with it's like, yeah, probably. I suppose you could. there's a cost associated with that. But more important than anything is if the whole area went away, could you build that site up? I'm looking at our architect and he's kind of nodding his head saying, "Yeah, that's probably true." And then you could put something different. >> Mhm. >> So, it doesn't actually have to be that because the roundhouse may change, therefore we have to do a new site for the high school. It's that can still be the high
074school site. It just may need may also be that there's a new roundhouse. I think these are conversations that the board needs to have with the architects and and not be constrained to saying, "Okay, so we're keeping the roundhouse, now build around it." We need to figure out all options and not just being constrained by saying the roundhouse is here. We have to keep the high school here. I think we've moved past that idea and that concept. And these are the conversations that I think it's a broader board and the architect all need to sit down and talk about >> and go from there. >> Yeah, with that the we need the board to be willing to start adding some more calendar dates to be able to really get into the work of of all
075of what's entailed to that. So that's something I think we have to >> Well, let me we're we are kind of getting into actually our our next agenda item. Let me just try to recap from a direction standpoint. Uh because to that point, uh I know one of the things that Dwayne, Mr. Cash, and I talked about is drafting up a timeline. that won't be presented tonight, but that is something that we'll be reaching out to the board about, which certainly as pointed out by both uh Chelsea and Laura, obviously we're going to have to have some additional meetings to help this board and and our and meet with our community about facility planning. Let me name what I've heard as it relates to where our direction is that I'm hearing from the board. You
076don't want any hardwood installed until we have flood mitigation in in place. I hearing that I'm seeing a lot of heads. >> I'm not sure about that. >> Okay. >> If you're talking about moving the site, what are you going to do with all that flood mitigation change if you're going to make a new round somewhere? >> Okay. That's actually an extension of the question, but so even different. But my point is you don't want us to move forward. I'm not here. I think you're echoing what I'm saying. You do not want to move forward with replacing of the heart of the roundhouse floor until we have had the discussion about whether we would do this >> strategically mitigation strategy. >> I kind of like what Mr. Free said that if we can rent a
077floor get us through this year and we have time to do all this. I don't like being under the gun to make a tough decision here. But if we break the floor, how do we guarantee that that floor is not going to flood if it rains again? >> We have to fix the problem before we can put anything in there because then we could be in the same situation on another floor and now we're possibly out 70 $80,000 on a removable floor. >> I mean, the question comes up, >> one of the other things that I think we're going to also get publicly clarification on at some point is what amount of disaster relief funding is potentially going to help this board make decisions about. and we do not yet have that. So, I just
078want to be clear on that. There's a couple of other things that we know that we're bringing back to this board, which is more information around the cost estimates, the civil engineering initial insights that we're getting from them. And then this will be something that Bill and I we'd already agreed to to continue to look into this, but we can also try to bring back a little more uh detailed facts about what a temporary floor looks like and what that might entail. In a perfect world where we could have only $10,000 worth of dirt work and that would somehow fix the issue and even our pumps stayed the same, we still would that temporary solution, we would want I'd want to be able to give you more details on what that would look like. Um,
079can you get a temporary floor now? >> The answer is yes. I I guess I have another question surrounding that. And I I mean, we're already in process of leveling the floor. So, do we proceed with that? The answer is yes to your question. Uh it we're in the process of looking at what floors are available that would fit the scope of our parameters. Uh and he's supposed to get back with me as soon as possible. Uh to do that, we would have to level the floor and and then even build up the floor from what they leveled it. So there's a cost associated with the building up. you know, let's say I'm going to guess for I'm going to say there's 4 in in that hole right now of vacancy. So when they level
080that it will bring it up 2 in and then beyond that we will have to make up the gap to put the temporary floor up. Now that's minimal expense in my opinion based on hardwood or supplies like plywood or whatever. And then we, my guess, again, I'm I'm making some professional hypothesises here, but we would end up covering that with some form of vinyl or something surrounding on the outside of that floor, but it would lay then on top of that, and then we could play ball. >> Can I pose a question, Bill? Have they already started leveling it and doing it? Okay, let me pose a question to the board and then it might be worth at least the board actually take the board may want to take action on this. Hearing you say
081that, is there interest of this board with a lot of information still to be learned? Do we want to even pause right where we're at at this exact moment, which is it's been demoed, it's been removed. Do we does this board want to push pause on everything and not even start the leveling process? The leveling process is going to be need at some point will be needed if an install is going to occur, but it hasn't started yet. That's in either scenario. >> Can we take a time out? Like my brain is full and I don't think that >> I just need a minute. You know what I mean? Like this is a lot and we want to I want to go outside and pray. Is that okay? >> Sure. Cool. >> Take a 5
082minute. >> Yeah. >> Great. Good. Hey Chelsea, I'm going to uh hang up right now and then I'll call you back when we get started. Does that work? >> Come back at 7:15. Okay, that sounds great. >> Hey, thanks, Chelsea. >> Do we need to do anything like vote before we take a break? Is that okay? >> Shut the mic. >> There's copy in the bag if anyone needs one. Lucky, you need some coffee. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hey baby. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Hey. Hey. Hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] I'm [Music] She didn't know she wanted to leave. Hey, no problem at all. I got you back on. I'm going to put you on speaker. Sound good?
083>> Okay, thank you. Thank you. Okay, we'll call the meeting back to order about short recess >> and we'll pick up our conversation regarding how we move forward with the roundhouse and associated conversation. I can start the conversation if I would like. Is there more discussion before we look at a motion? That was a big sigh. No good. >> Yeah. Well, I guess the question I have between our athletic director and the coach and everything, are there other alternatives to play sports in that facility for the immediate feature? I'm not comfortable making a decision about all this stuff right now. Yeah, I think for more answers we need to find out. >> I mean, if we need a special board meeting in two weeks to get some of this stuff in, I don't know. But,
084uh, you know, there's a lot of variables here that could really end up affecting not only the volleyball season, but the basketball season. I assume wrestling's okay. That room's all right. >> So, Roundhouse is used by all of those programs as well. And another variable that exists here is that when we expose the tar and and don't get me wrong, that's the majority of that's been removed, but there's still there's still fumes coming off of that. One of my understanding is that one of the things the concrete will do is seal that in when they level it, which will help. And one of the things that exists is that when you add the human component, people want to leave doors open. and they want to turn fans on that they shouldn't. They want to and
085when they do that, it redirects the HVAC to different parts of the building. And so, we're doing our best to communicate and educate. Um, but some of that is we got to seal that area off and different things like that. But all that said, I think that >> I mean just we've not talked a lot about this, but the tar was a very unique uh discovery underneath of the roundhouse for >> Yes. had never seen it before. >> The Langford, the group that we worked with. Now, my understanding is the reason that the tar was in there was to help with dead spots in the gem floor, and it must have worked fine. But that particular aspect of this project has proven to be very time consuming for them as they've done it. But also
086just that's where some of these additional I think even Chelsea posed a question about the black you know soot and stuff like that. Um which I hadn't considered I'm hearing you say that their bill that there would be a benefit. >> Yeah. And that's something that >> mitigate that. >> Yeah. that just was reminded of that that as a part of that pour it would help with some of that. But the again the majority of that material has been removed. It's just some of that residual and we've done our best to and and will continue to seal off the project and we can especially during construction. >> So is there a health and safety concern at the moment based on what you just said? >> I think we're Dr. Vincent made mention of we're constantly
087evaluating that and in the initial stages we're we're trying to make sure that it's you know that that is contained to that area. It may be necessary to continue to monitor that or it will be necessary. So I don't have necessarily I'm not an expert in that but we do know that since the construction stopped that it has significantly >> gotten better. Yeah. >> So, >> Bill, who are the experts that could help us with this? >> Um, I need to go do my homework. >> Well, Lford has been >> Yeah. They they've been the ones that I've been around lying, too, because their own people were in the midst of it. >> Yeah. >> And and they were doing analysis of the product as well, making sure their people weren't in a dangerous situation.
088But there are people like say Lemon or IPI or different groups out there that could evaluate for us if we believe that we need to go to that point. But at this point we were waiting for the dust to settle secretively literally. >> Yeah, I get that. And you know we have kids that are asthmatic. We have kids that um are going to be sensitive to certain things that your your you know atypical human might not. Um, but Bill, it is very interesting to me that you shared that, you know, if we go in and level over that and get that concrete down, then at least that part of this will be over as most of it's removed, but we will we will stop any residual stuff because it's never perfect until we can get
089something over it. >> That's my understanding. >> Jeeoff, I'm really curious to hear what kind of your thinking. >> Well, hearing the conversation tonight, we need to push pause. >> That's right. I I think we've got a we've got to have some answers and uh from our staff on use uh more information on um options on floors when you you've thrown a lot of variables at us tonight that we didn't even know about. So I don't think we can make any thoughtful decision until we have more answers. So, and I agree. We need a need a special meeting just to be dealing with some of this. >> Amen to that. >> And I I still believe that we've hired the people. We don't need to look at other people to hire. Look there who we've
090hired and they have experts. Let them go out and find those people. We don't have to waste our time, Bill's time, other people's time to do that, >> Harry. That's really good. Thank you. >> If we can be board members submitting our questions. Okay. We we've I have a list in the back of my head already that I would like to know about. So, instead of waiting till the next meeting to ask that, I'd like to send that to you in advance. And if the rest of you can do that, they can be prepared to answer those questions and preferably if some of that's in a written format prior to a meeting, then we can really jump in and engage on conversation. If I may, I just wanted to comment that this has been an
091extremely fluid situation and almost every day we get handed a new rulebook on this thing and so I apologize if we haven't kept you as informed as as you know we could have but it truly is like today we learn just another variable or another option and so and even for the public to say we are addressing everything as it comes do the best we can. >> Bill, alls we can do is just present what we have when it gets presented, right? And so, you know, I don't feel any disappointment or um like there's been big surprises tonight. This is part of the hard work of being on a board is trying to figure out, you know, when do we push pause? What questions do we need to ask? And so, um, just to we
092know that this is, uh, not something that you've got a manual that you can go and look in and be like, "Okay, when this happens, we do this." Like, I mean, this is >> I appreciate that. Thank you. >> Yeah. So, >> so what would be reasonable time frame to get answer? 2 weeks. >> Well, here here's my concern and and that's what I was just thinking about that. the the absolute last thing that I want you to do is and I agree that a special meeting between now and September 15th we're going to want to come together but I would hate for you to call a meeting today that's two weeks from now and we still have I mean that would be so I think the appropriate thing to do would be to say
093as we connect with call valley that's the number one group that we want to hear from the civil engineers what's the where are you at on this we authorized it at the start of last week where are we at from getting that once we have a tighter time frame. We work with board officers to call the meeting. Obviously, I would encourage everybody if you could hold the 25th to do that. But then we but if I I worry that we would call it and then we're sitting back at the table for a special meeting and all we have to update the other information from the temporary flooring and some of that I think we could come to could could identify. >> Yeah, by then we should have some more answers as what's available. We do
094currently have the concrete scheduled to occur, but it's not yet occurred. >> It's scheduled for this coming Monday. >> It was ironic. It was for today. >> Um, but it got postponed and so the rain hits next Monday. So, it's >> So, is there I think for me it's are we pausing prior to any concrete? We know we're pausing. Do you want to pause before concrete install? pause. I'm going to motion that we pause all repairs to the roundhouse floor until updates can be provided to the board. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor say yes. >> Yes. >> The opposing sign of no or say no. >> Carries 6. >> Yeah. The PE people figured out how they're going to deal with no roundouts? >> They have they've figured out some some temporary
095things. I mean we so we talked about that um the last board meeting we asked you to follow up with. >> So essentially the roundhouse is shutting out >> down on the floor. Absolutely. >> And again the question posed earlier those classrooms around there have also been moved. >> So there really no >> activity around >> going into the roundhouse even today. I mean obviously a student that's a thorough affair between the ox gym that you can close that off. >> So work the administration at the high school today decided to uh redirect traffic completely out of that area. So uh certain students will go down through door 17. Certain students will go around through the administrative wing and around to the seal that direction for uh for the alternative center. Yeah, that's my understanding
096of how that >> So, plans are in place. >> Yeah, definitely. >> But I make a request that we meet on the 26th. >> Uh, we're not going to set a date yet. >> Okay. >> So, I'm hearing that. What I'd say is be prepared. Chelse obviously Chelsea and Laura and I will connect on that and we'll send out that kind of maybe the 27th at uh you know I think the the most unique time we've had was a 6:30 a.m. meeting at one point. We don't usually do those but we've had to have special meetings at unique times. So >> we'll do whatever is needed. >> 25 during the day works but >> not in the evening. >> Okay. Well, I I must say I mean it's important for us to have um detailed
097dialogue and information coming. So, I appreciate um the work and um please get that information in so that we know the questions and can get detailed responses back so that we have the knowledge and the information to move forward. Good discussion >> and and just to be clear, thank you to those who have had questions throughout this. I it's created opportunities to gain clarification, but it's I think the word you used was complex somebody used and that's probably an understatement it seems, but anyway, we appreciate it. Thank you for uh your direction on this. >> Okay, I think we're at 5.2. >> We are >> facility assessment work. >> Mr. Cash, Mr. Dwayne Cash, come on up to And it was a great opportunity and we're glad that you were here for that dialogue. But
098it was conversation. >> Great opportunity. He's been in our buildings uh the last uh couple of weeks and just wanted to provide an opportunity to get an update uh for the board on how the facility substance are coming. >> Yeah, thank you uh Shiloh. Um we have uh assessed all the buildings at this point. We've been in every building including the um warehouse building, the park building. Our engineers have been in the buildings as well, mechanical engineers and our structural engineers uh to give a complete thorough facility assessment. Uh the next phase of that is the educational accuracy assessment. We've done uh we performed interviews with all the staff at all the buildings except for one Eisenhower had to reschedule because of sickness. uh the principal was not going well that day. So, we need
099to reschedule that. But we've done uh everybody had had those conversations with everybody else. They've been really good in conversations about how they operate the buildings. What do they want in a good building? How are kids using the building? How are staff using the building? What challenges do they have to deliver education? What roadblocks are they faced with uh to do that? And I will say, you know, I told this to Shiloh as well. Um, they don't see roadblocks, you know, they they don't they don't think about it that way. They it's really hard to drag that out of them because all they do is, oh, we just deal with it, you know, we just keep going. We just we got to do what we got to do and we do it. Uh, so it's
100hard sometimes to get them to really kind of open up and say, oh yeah, that is a challenge, but we just kind of manage it, you know. Uh, but we've got those that uh good information. Uh the next step in the process is we will send out a uh staff survey. Each principal a sh I'll send it to Shiloh. So I'll send it to each building principal. Building principal send it out to the staff of the building. And it's a real simple uh survey just asking you know how do you feel about this? How do you feel about that? And then they have two opportunities at the bottom to actually write something if they feel like they're they need to have something they want to express. So that'll happen uh the first of next week.
101Uh get let them get settled a little bit and have them do that. That window is open for about 2 weeks. We kind of give them a couple prompts. Have you done it yet? Usually get a pretty good response. That information is really helpful. So we'll take all that information. We'll take the the facility assessment that we've completed. We'll take the staff interviews that we've completed. uh we'll take the uh u capacity analysis that was done by uh Rob Schwarz and his team and then we'll take this survey information and roll that into a document that we will present to you at the next board meeting, next scheduled board meeting which will give a building report card for every building in the district and we'll also have that first initial conversation about what opportunities that
102we're seeing uh what challenges we're seeing and and give you some basic parameters for discussion uh that kind of relate to what we were talking about you were talking about a little earlier. What's the right choice uh that we want to see the the direction head and then we'll start to build out those choices for you. You know, just have a good conversation and we'll build out choices, put prices to those choices, give us some uh input there. But we'll also uh in the months of uh September and October, we'll want to set up some building level meetings. So parents and teachers can come to those meetings. People can come in the building, walk the building, probably high school and middle school for sure. We'll see what we can get scheduled in other places. Uh
103but we think it's important that have those meetings there too and and kind of give them the results. You'll get the results first, then we'll give them to the building in the community next. tell them what we saw, what we've experienced, and what we've heard, and get their input, what they think is important. Get priorities, and then we'll try to build those priorities out of that process of here's 40 things wrong with this building. Here's 40 things that are great about this building. Put those in priorities, what you think is important that we should be addressing, what the district should be looking at. Uh, so that'll happen in the next couple of months as we move towards um some kind of resolution in December. uh potentially. >> You said December. Yeah, December would be have
104to have to make some kind of early December I believe to this. We're in conversations with actually because the new law it's a little but Shel I don't know if you know that information or not that has to be done but I believe it's early December >> early December for a March. >> March March it was March. Yes, that's correct. That gives you a time frame though for these kinds of conversations and what to expect from a from a urgency of motion context. You can using your process we can be in a position to to achieve that. >> We think so. Yeah. It's it's actually good to have the whole seat the whole fall semester to do this process uh because people are engaged. there a lot of activities going on in the community and
105and the faster you do it, you know, you keep that good pace up of having a meeting, having a result, having a meeting, have a result, uh lead you right to where you want to be and we might get to the end point and we're like, we don't know and we might not. We might not get there, but we think we will. It's something that the community supports, you know, a plan that they feel confident in that they'll support. That's the goal. So, uh, we might have to schedule a couple board workshops in there probably in, uh, September, October, and November or maybe October. Work on that schedule now. >> I want you to do a good job. I don't want you to either. Let's get this done. Let's get it done. I agree. Agree.
106Quest. Quick question for you. Eisenhower is our most recent new building 30 years ago. >> What's it condition compared to the others? Three elementary. >> So, they did a good job. >> It's okay building. Yeah. It's uh it's a little quirky in a couple spots, but that's typical. Uh it's just needs a little bit of inner care here and there, but it's a it's a good shape building. Good shape. Washington thinks a pretty good shape building, too. It's it's it's a really nice laidout building and a good shape building. We didn't see a lot of issues there. Like um high school, middle school, and Lincoln and and Roosevelt are your challenges. Yeah. But they're not huge. There's some things we can do there, too. >> You just start a discussion about the roundhouse. >> That's
107not huge. The roundhouse is a big conversation. I think that that's what's going to be interesting, fun about this process really is because we get to look at everything, you know, through a lens of like what's the best choice for the community and what will the community support. Those are two big considerations, right? What's the best idea and then but what's the one that will support moving forward? So, yeah. >> Great. Yes. Thank you. Very good. Thank you. Great to see you. appreciate that. Again, echoing that we will have some additional uh meetings coming forth this semester to continue the work in the process. Stay tuned and we'll get those dates near future on our calendars. We'll move to new business 6.1. Oh, we lost Jack. >> We stepped out. I didn't know if anyone
108else needed to take a break or if we want >> We need a break. >> Keep going. Um, okay. Just want to update you or or remind you of the budget process really more than anything and then um pull down here. Um, it seems like that's been a day or so ago cuz it has been at this juncture. But when we very first started talking about revenue neutral rate hearings, that was back in September. I'm sorry, back in September. that was it was September but back in school year 2021. So there was a Senate bill that changed the timeline and budgeting processes and we've continue to be under that um through uh through the current school year. So that remains intact. There was actually a law this last uh spring that considered uh removing the
109RNR components of the process for school districts and they ultimately left it. I think it died in committee, but um partially because of what we'll talk about this evening, but uh just a reminder for the key timelines that we have in place. So before July 20, we have to notify county clerk of exceeding RNR. So that's that occurred. And then on on August 27th, we will publish uh obviously authorization of it this evening, we'll publish the uh budget and the RNR notices in the newspaper, and I'll walk through that. That's code 99. Um, and then on September 15th, 2025, that's a reminder to you that that September meeting, we have a at 5:30 we come together. That's the RNR, revenue neutral rate hearing. And then uh at 5:45 we have the budget hearing. And then
110at 6:00 we start our normal uh regular meeting. Uh once approved, we submit that budget to KSD and then we send our um documents over to um to the county clerk on October well September 20th we submit them to KSD and then by October 1st we give them to the county. Let me share with you a couple of items that are on there and then walk you through specifically code 999. Um so a couple of items that are on here is um form 150. So form 150 um is just as a reminder we are a per pupil funded state. So how we utilize form 150. Every school district has this form that they produce. uh they we we fill in our numbers and this generates then what actual amounts you then build your budget around.
111Okay. Now the thing I would share with you on this is and this is it's hard to for people some people to understand one of the things that you do when you're building a budget is you build it with you want to build it with numbers that are higher than what you anticipate >> so that you have full authority to spend the money >> and then you can uh be able to do that. So just to note one thing, this number we continue to decrease uh but it's still kept higher than what we anti that what we anticipate that 2150. So just so the board's aware of those 2150s that you see in there. That's uh we we would love for that to be the case, but we don't uh obviously you you've seen the
112enrollment uh study recently and know kind of what to expect there. Okay, so this is where it generates it and then ultimately we we work through our code uh through all of the codes to pull those together. Code 999 is the snapshot of really what the budget is um for every Kansas school district. So walk through that just briefly. So this and it's code 99 that gets published in uh the newspaper for all of us being slow. I apologize for the code 99. Just as a reminder, what really revenue neutral rate and ultimately what you're tasked with is authority that can only be granted to you from a couple of different ways. Number one, by law. By law, you have to generate you have to levy a 20 mil general uh general mail increase. Okay?
113So that's you see that in there by law in order to levy up to you can levy up to a 33% of the general in the local option budget as long as you've had a community that has voted to approve that and then McFersonen they did that in 2015. So the community voted on that and so you can levy up to that amount. Um >> goes on forever. >> That does. Yep. Once it once it's approved uh by election of the community, it's it's in place. Yep. In perpetuity. And the same is true for capital outlay sitting at 8 mills. So they had to vote in order to be able to authorize 8 mills. And that was voted on in 2014 in Kansas. And so that that's built that in the same way. So what
114you see here is the board's really the authority of the board is is falling into code 99. It's it's the all of those things that are in place that you have been authorized. And then one obviously final component is as you approve your bonds uh and interest and those bills are set in place so you can ensure payment and hopefully work to pay those off over time. Then I'm going to scroll down here to talk about the notice of hearing for budget. This gets this again it gets obviously that's a big part of it for budget. those numbers match up there. Let me point out one other taxing entity. Um, and that is you see this six mills for the rec uh recreation commission. Every single time we talk budget process, I remind you I
115know that you're tired of hearing me say it. We do not have any authority over McFersonen Recreation Commission. We do sit have a couple members sit on the board. Um, but we are there. That is all flowed through. um they have a max of six mills that they can levy and ultimately they end up having their own audit and uh their own that money flows directly over. We've talked about that each year, but just acknowledge. I always like to throw it in there. There's actually two public libraries in the state of Kansas that also flow theirs through the school district. Ellenwood, Kansas is one of them and I don't know what the other one said. So it may actually be down to just one. So let me walk through the revenue neutral rate uh to
116just talk through a little bit about what you're seeing here. We always want to to take a look at these bottom when you're thinking about revenue neutral because you have to levy your general at 20 ms. So we always want to look down here at this bottom uh item. And what you see here is that in if we were to um what what in fact let me use this as an example. This is what's problematic with revenue neutral rate for school districts. In order for us as a school district to remain revenue neutral in the general fund, it would we would only levy 19.343 mills. But if you were to approve a budget that didn't levy 20, you'd be violating the law. It wouldn't you wouldn't even be able to do it. So that's what's
117problematic for a lot of districts like this person. Um so what you see here is actually that uh what as we've drafted this budget what we've really been sensitive to is is uh what are you in control of another way to say it too is if you as a board were just only reli or if it only looked at those that you are looking to approve you would have stayed revenue neutral but you have to levy up that full out. Uh now we pull that out technically and would say that you're giving the this budget is built on 32.158 mills above the general and uh your revenue neutral I apologize 32305 and your revenue neutral would have been 32.158 so you're right at.147 seven just above. So in order to build your budget, we were
118able to remain that. But what I would draw your attention to is from a mill perspective, you're at 32.305 and that's actually less than the tax collected last year. So just be cognizant of that. That's a positive thing. Okay. So both the notice for hearing and the notice of RNR will be there. You can see I can always double check this revenue neutral rate is the first uh hearing at 5:30 and then the budget hearing right here. Okay. other items that I included just for your own know or just for the board's knowledge and working uh we obviously uh have gone over cash balances that's included for you we include that as an attachment we've already gone over that so I won't um certainly happy to answer questions but that's been discussed here by this
119board um and then the district needs assessment um is a is an ongoing item that we do throughout the course of the school year. That was shared with you that before too. So the board reviewed that back in June or possibly even in May. Um and so all of these come together around this time of the year just to be in full preparation. I do I did include for you um d a full uh draft of the 2026 budget and I'll include that in my weekly report just for some key things for you to to look at. But um ultimately um what we would be looking for is certainly to answer any questions that you might have. I'm happy to do that. And then we'd be looking for a motion to uh authorize the publication
120so that we can get these in the uh get these published and get our hearing notices made. Questions can I answer? So the 5615 is the FTE amount. How did that compare to last year? >> The 2150 uh >> the the actual the amount that we multiply your FP is at 5615. >> Oh, the base has come up from the state. >> What was the base last year? What is it this year? Is it 5615 on the base this year? Yeah. Let me That's a great compared to last year. >> It went uh actually there's going to be two numbers I wanted to make sure before I speak on it. There's actually two numbers. There's an LOB number and then there's that. So 5615 that's about a 4% increase. >> Yes. From last year. And
121I'll you know what? Let me just get that number. If you'll bear with me for a second, I'll grab it. It did go up. Uh the base did go up. Let me while I'm pulling that up, I'll I'll clarify. We have one more year that we know that the state aid will go up based on the CPI, but I'm actually traveling up on Wednesday to attend an education funding the education funding committee along with Mrs. Strathman and they are current they're currently working on what potential changes would occur that would go into place in the 2728 school year. Yes. Oh is what it was. So let's say 5378 and then we have 56 do that real quick because that should be the exact as uh yeah 4% right at that. So actually that's been an
122interesting and it'll continue to be an interesting conversation where because it went up that amount that was to every district's advantage but it helped to buffer our loss of enrollment for this year but it didn't buffer it enough our loss of enrollment from the graduating class and the lowest kinder number that we had had that it wasn't enough to overcome that threshold. um the the 2% 2 3% that I'm talking about now is currently what the CPI is sitting at which is right around two and a quarter. And so it depends on what that looks like over the course of the coming year to know how much this will go up even for for next year from a planning standpoint. >> So what was our FTE last year? We're we're basing off of 2150 this
123year. Mhm. >> Last year on that doc on that area, we we set it at 2200. So again, that's where I say we we knew we lost about 100, but we intentionally kept it a little bit higher to make sure that we had the full authorization. Interesting thing that I will share and we'll talk as we get more as we get our enrollment numbers more concrete. We have actually seen a net positive increase at our high school this year uh by almost 20 students. That was kind of unexpected, but there were some changes in the area around um that contributed to that. Uh it's our understanding. So our high schools actually we've seen slight increase of at least students that were gaining as opposed to those that are that are leaving us. what that means.
124We'll know once we finalize the moment. Um, great question. Any other questions? >> Back to that form though. Yeah, 50 the formula of the fits into your estimated count that's down towards the bottom. What do we get to use this year? >> What's our hard count? Is it the >> this year's enrollment? >> Great question. >> Last year's enrollment or Yep. Great question. So for so for budget building purposes these are the numbers that we utilize for legal maximum authority we have we can either use our September 20 count day of last school year and this is where the law changed or September 20 of this year meaning that next year we'll have either this year or that real time data. So that if we had a 100 kids show up more than what we
125had expected, that'd be to our advantage. If you had 100 less show up, then you have a year to start preparing is really what what to our >> What was our FTE last year? Budgeted >> 2,200. So we brought that down. >> We budgeted off. We budgeted off, >> but we but we had we and just to be clear, we knew we had less we budgeted off that and then we we always anticipated a little bit less than that. >> What were we audited? I >> is that the number there? 1998 on page two of your >> likely >> uh likely. Now the hard part is that could be said reflect all you have a comparison. >> Yeah. So the one thing about that is that 1998 that was our audited FTE and that excluded
126three-year-old and fouryear-old as well as virtual. >> So our actual count day numbers were slightly higher than actually that 1998. Uh if you look down here, we were closer to 2139. Oh, no, that was in 23. Yeah, no, that's right. So, matching those numbers up, we're about Yeah. So, we were about 200 higher for how we budgeted last year, and we're about 150 higher for how we're budgeting next year. And as we continue to see how our enrollment actually emerges based on the study, that's going to be something that we're going to want to look at closely in terms of how we continue to just budget the number. I mean, how we do honestly, uh, just to be clear, we used to build it and it was a historical number. We plugged in 2400. And
127so last year uh we knew that that wasn't uh that wasn't what we needed to budget based on because we anticipated the decrease. So we brought it down uh just based on the those recent year trends and now we're seeing that there's a potential projection forward that's uh even less. So look like we have our questions answered. I'll um move to motion to authorize the publication of the 2526 budget as presented. So moved. All in favor say yes. >> Yes. >> Opposed for the no 6. Thank you. >> Okay. Items different close. routine items. This really cool thing called the start of school is going to happen and routine items. I guess I get to talk the conclusion of those disposition amendments. Didn't have any questions over those. Um clerk's report. Again, we're early on
128on the clerk's report. Um the uh we'll continue to show this comparison. We'll continue to over the course of the year keep you updated on how things are tracking. It's very early on. Once we get the budget document, once once budgets approved, then we'll take a look and that'll be um we'll just continue to to monitor these. This is starting out the year. Not surprisingly, they are right in alignment with one another um from a comparison standpoint. End of July uh start, but again, that's first month compared to the next month and based on the budget. So, uh nothing too noteworthy there. I didn't have personally any questions about payment of the bills. Um we do obviously as the start of school fires back up, we do uh start to have um obviously more spending
129starts to occur in July, especially as we've installed some of our so you start to see PE cards and bills uh move up and again just a reminder for how we have that set. Uh we we authorize um really through the first part of the fall our our spending. We ask for um by end of January, we ask for uh to start having uh allocations for how they're planning to spend the rest of the year. That's built all of our uh principal budgets and others. And then um all of that all authorized spending on their end ends right as spring break, right as they get ready for spring break and then they still have authorization as long as those pre-approved items otherwise it's uh it's denied and then we make decisions through the rest of
130the spring. So, what you will notice um not in tonight's bills but in the future is the back to school um some back to school cost obviously associated with um with our back to school breakfast and things like that. So otherwise just be looking for approval of routine items move second all in favor say yes. >> Yes. Any oppose? No. I didn't ask for any discussion. I apologize. Okay. Future meeting have a few listed here. Um not none of the first two aren't a surprise. Audit report. We have had uh Lloyd Group conducted the audit everything. Uh they were here I think on July 30th. Um we will be seeking to have that likely in September. Um just as a reminder, we have enough federal funds that flow to the school district that we have
131to have a single audit done. They were waiting for some guidance is my understanding on that. So if it's not September, it'll be as soon as we can. U but I think they were still planning to target that. Obviously we know we'll have a facility assessment report coming up along with long range planning and then I mentioned earlier some performance data. Uh but just know that at that same time we're looking at other success indicators like suspension data, uh attendance data, chronic absenteeism, and so hopefully we can pair those kind of uh key all data together when we're able to meet in announcements. Actually, Mrs. Strathman and the MCC crew kicked it off for us today. They had their prof the the systemwide uh countywide professional development day. Today we have new teacher training next
132couple days and then Thursday uh we'll start with or we'll have our district professional development and then buildings will have theirs on Friday. flexible work day on on next Monday and then Tuesday we will have we hope a whole bunch of little prek well a bunch of K12 kiddos uh ready to go and we'll send them out at 12:30 so they can get geared up and ready for the full day on Wednesday. But um we're uh I know the Vincent household is excited for the start of the school year and I we had a couple little birthday parties at the house over the weekend. So their friends are also excited. So well they wouldn't like that for me to say that. Some of them are excited and some of them are wishing summer was even
133longer but I think they'll work through it. So, uh, it is just, uh, you know, I just want to pause as we do that to just say thank you to you as a board. We get to spend a whole lot of time talking about really critical issues like a roundhouse that gets flooded and appropriately spending this time in in the detail associated with it. But really encourage you to to know that you're appreciated and that your work here does directly impact every one of those kiddos. that's going to show up next week. And uh we're just grateful for each of you. And uh hopefully if you're able to join us, if you'll let me know if you're able to join us on the uh on the 14th this week, if you're able to, we'll we
