002recommend approval of the agenda as presented you've heard the superintendent's recommendation this battle in motion is there a second there's barely seconds of motion is there any discussion or comments all in favor indicated by raising your hand oppose the same thing [Music] are working diligently in our schools with communication with parents with the health department making sure that our students are safe and addressing any needs there and i just would like to say thank you to our um our senior nurses for the work that they're doing because it doesn't end at the end of the school day for them they are doing their contract tracing on the weekends or evenings whenever it's necessary so i just wanted to share that um and with that being said i just want to share the positivity right on
003saturday vcc is 14.27 um in casual county in comparison and again this is a day-date coming from the cdc as of saturday evening uh rockingham is 12.18 percent thirteen point uh thirty three percent and pennsylvania county virginia thirty two point nine three percent positivity rate so uh and again that's according to the cdc it's on their website for um the data analysis for um coded tracker and uh just wanted to share that put it in perspective and i'd also like to say thank you to the administration and staff at bart lancy senior high school in partnership with the sheriff's department for their quick actions this past week during an incident that happened on campus uh and i'd like you know and i also like to share that as we send out alert messages you know
004we send it out as information is gained and as more information is gained we send out alert messages and um as continuous improvement we are meeting with the sheriff's department this week so that we can make sure that we are um making sure that you know everything that we do is in collaboration and that uh messages are sent out uh not only timely but with all the pertinent information that is needed so i just wanted to share those two shout outs to our staff that are working all of ourselves working hard just wanted to make sure that we focused on those particular two groups thank you public comments connie did anyone okay uh reports and updates dr carter we are very fortunate to have a uh bill powell leading the project construction of bart lancy
005senior high school and i'm you know i don't think uh anyone can drive by the high school without seeing how nice it looks because it has certainly come along and there's there's been so much um work that you can't see from the road that has occurred under mr powell's leadership so he is here to give an update to the board and uh and with that being said i'd like to to turn it over to bill powell [Applause] uh it's an exciting day here in uh we are weeks away from actually thinking about let's move in so it's exciting so i go through a few things uh in this presentation we're going to talk a little bit about the project uh schedule money that are not just here in caswell at this project at this time
006but these are national issues that come about in the construction industry and the important things i'm gonna say we're so close that we may want to think about you know a little trip through the building at some point before the kids are thinking which is a little bit off a lot has happened since most of you took a walk around and i like to kind of start by saying you know that picture on the front that has that backhoe behind the side i want you to look at that because at the end it's a different look so so it's a different day in caswell county and partly senior high school but that looked like the machine and the in the old times and the old side so let's go so we want to start and
007talk about the project budget same thing you've seen before and the contract total contingency we used a little more but we're 176 373 16 of the contingency amount which is really a good place to be at this point in time considering the project is as we look down below and i'm going to refer a little bit back to may when we give an update and now to september because things have changed a lot so 64 complete for phase one which is the two story and on september 1 we are 97 so we're really really close in this process the total project which includes the dining and includes the renovation of the existing dining was 47 now it's 76 so we're three-fourths complete on the entire project this is exciting and i always like to say
008you know the last time we get together and what we're going and are we meeting what we said we would do on the construction project is the architect the contractor the suppliers and deliveries are we needing those things that we said would occur so the project when we sat there we would salvage and reuse two and three hundred demolish the halls courtyard demolition starting the courtyard connecting quarters the whole site when we were here really hadn't really kicked off really hard but underground water sewer power gas and parking lots roads in the landscape and then at the same time we want to talk about the existing campus and we said we had hoped would have intercom fire alarm security and camera replacements done at that time well the with summer school in place which the
009state said we had to have a wide number of days at summer school the general could not work on the left-hand side of campus until mid-july and that only gave a couple of three weeks and as a group we felt that we could not substantially get those systems in place safe enough for the students to return so we made an alternate plan now the right hand side of the campus which is the existing gyms in the cafeteria it does have new systems installed so those are in but where we couldn't get in and we deferred on the student safety aspect of keep the left-hand side with the existing fire alarm existing intercom existing security and existing cameras so they're alive and operational the general did work considerably on the right hand side and you see
010the dates now an important piece happened in the mid-summer with the technology department's help david and the entire technology department along with utility companies turned over the data and so they come mid-july the entire bartlett yancey campus was running from the two-story building within it ready to go and it continues to run within the building and we've had minimal outages you know a power outage kind of thing but we are running from inside the building i want to talk about the overall project schedule we contract sign total project completion 22 on the left we see phase one schedule update we had said that on may 1 we put 23 weather days time extensions without cost september 1 28 material coverage delays i'll hit a little bit of that and you may ask some questions what's
011that mean and then we look down to the phase one contractor schedule so this is the contractor completion august 25th moved to september 22nd and student move in september 26 to october 25th so that's the first time we'll move students into the building now in between that period between the contractor and the students we have a lot of furniture a lot of equipment a lot of checks because when the kids come in everything has to run so there's a lot of data there's a lot of furniture there's a lot of systems all that's going in in that month the total project completion remains august 2nd 22 and that's no change so we're moving the bottom line is we're still maintaining the end another 20 the 28 day move and we talk about that and i
012know it's difficult to see those but what you have on the left these are just two resources out of the country and there are multiples uh whether you use engineering news record which is a premier national following the construction engineering and architectural with their pulse of where the system's going so when i look at those and i start at the top and i put some stars on those and the green stars are things that are on bartlett yancey the red stars are things that affect it here but if you look across the top one appliances of the projects identified had appliance delays couldn't get materials it wasn't necessarily the plant a lot of it was trucking shipping and so forth but 95 of the jobs had appliances now a lot of this top part because
013if you were building a house you would know that but lumber osb plywood doors windows trusses that's a lot of housing and they went down to 87 so the vast majority of the home industry and a lot of the general industry commercial have issues then we come down to copper wiring 77 that's the red star 77 percent of the projects had wiring delays wiring issues and yes that did affect berlin yes it did affect the connecting recorders because the connecting corridor that we were going to demolish early we could not because we had to keep data systems running all of our arm and all the systems and we couldn't get the wire not only that they quit manufacturing certain kinds of water so we had to adapt on a job site to architect a contractor
014to use the wire that was being produced in order to make our buildings work and we didn't lower the quality or the quantity we had 36 strands we still had 36 turkeys different manufacturers actually different jacketing and so forth but that did affect us as we looked down hvac equipment roofing 66 we had both those issues and i'll show you the uh result of hvac in a minute and some pictures and roofing materials the whole industry had an insulation problem and some of the materials we received two or three semis of insulation and then they said oh wait we can't get any more of that can you use this so good architects went and checked and verified what would work in our building for longevity and that was done so i'm looking down at that
015whole group and you can see all the way the bottom one by the way is 43 and then the right hand side said 83 of the contractors were experiencing product delays 71 struggling to meet schedules 68 were experiencing delays and 58 percent were putting in higher bids and you can see many of those things so considering all of that we need to think about we've endured weather the pandemics industry material and supply contractors you probably recall seeing pictures of the site with containers and shipping and storage of everything in your previous pictures we can thank the contractor for pre-ordering storing it on site and getting the materials there we take the architect and suppliers and contractors for scrambling to find materials that were comparable and good that we could substitute where they quit making them
016or the plant shut down and couldn't produce it so where are we you can see the pictures on the left the outside and the right on the inside media center and we're planning to start moving in the next four weeks that's moving furniture all that's coming about in spite of the delays the pandemic the weather pre-ordering in spite of all of that that's what's going on so we're going to give a quick on the upper left and each one of these is june on the right's july so some of you saw the wiring in bundles a lot of wire miles of water the demolition of the two and three hundred all july august starting on the foundations and uh mastering the dining room in september the corridors are starting to go in the classroom june
017we didn't have any grit up but hvac systems were going in july you can see ribbon cabinets august lower left you can see some floor and some paint starting to see many lights things in the ceilings and september there we are with floors cabinets lights ceiling everything but the system's finished so that's i think september 2nd commons area you can do the same thing in june metal right installing sheetrock bottom left finishes starting some paint in the bottom right you can see lockers floors glass ceilings all in so quite a bit's happening we're going to talk about the outside of the building may and this is the last report uh many of you walked the building in june but in may on the back the 2 and 300 building is still there uh the roof
018completion with no air handlers that was in may but there are no air handlers uh at the bottom you can see some sight grading but we don't have concrete and you can see in the right hand upper side you still see contractor vehicles so if you move forward a month it's mid-june two and three hundred are there by the way mid-june teachers were in the building teaching remotely until first week in june by mid-june we've removed and salvaged the majority of the building you can see the building two-story where the air handling units are installed but there are no compressors the compressors i'll hit those in a minute but behind them this piece of plywood is a compressor and why don't i call that out just like your car first when you go buy a
019car and you have a chip problem you can't buy a car because of the chip that makes it go the compressors have the same kind of chip so the same industry that the chip industry affected when we can get compressors it affected several other operational but there is proof of that and then when you look down in the bottom you see the temporary air conditioner so what the contractor did at no cost to the caswell county to keep the project on going he put in temporary air conditioning to condition the building so he can continue finishing and working those are on all four stairways and those allowed us to move forward even without the chips and even without the compressor so we could air condition with the building units out front you see the sight
020grading the concrete has started it started but it hasn't gone in here yet which is the smaller lot to the right of the building and now we look at the front again and we say okay we've got concrete we're graded we've got concrete we're traded our handler units are still in place now here you see the compressor is in place behind there so they came shortly after that almost a month late you can see the building two and three hundred hundred with the demolish they're cleaning it up and recycling what they can recycle in fact most of the recycling then we'll move forward into august same perspective now you see courtyard work going on they had just demolished the corner in behind the building the demo complete it's cleared out the concrete slabs or ground
021the concrete slab up and part of that went under that stone and part of it will go under the building and put it right back in the building uh you see compressors you see the front everything's done down you can see the motor creator there in the parking lot spreading the stone out and the connection back in and then here we are this is just last week dining working on the dining this is the foundations for the corner connecting the 500 vote the carter over here is being worked which is going into the cafeteria foundations and footers are in place and going in you see quite a bit uh the student's route that many of you may have walked is from east wing through the courtyard around the building out across the front and back
022up and then obviously back out to the field house and then back down into the vote so a lot of work has happened here in spite of all of the others that could have happened and i just cannot brag enough on the contractor you're fortunate some contractors could have drugged this thing out all they want to do is finish your building and go to the next one and go to the next phase and so they're doing everything they can i think some of your homegrown talent with the architect with the contractor many of you know who and what i'm talking about they grew up in county they went to bartlett so some of that gives them incentive and drive to produce for this community what they all want which is a better school system now
023i want to leave you and thank you about that first slide and the construction and the old and here you are with the new this is where you're going this is the new barman yancey and this exciting times so i can feel any kind of question you want at this point but they've come a long way and i just can't be proud enough of the whole group thank you mr battle thank you mr powell uh my first question was so october 25 is the day to move or be in okay uh second question tell me was the contract written in terms of delays weather extensions uh was that the case yes we had weather and we had the material delays that were beyond the contractor's scope but is there a clause in the contract that
024if you go beyond next day is there a penalty phase yes and those were excused with the ladies by contract dr carter we looked at that i don't know if you have a number of paragraphs but yeah i don't have a proper contract with me but that is listed out who approves is their provision to approve extensions or does it just come automatic well first the architect has to look at everything the architect is the contract administrator official okay i'm an owner's rep but i don't have the right the architect does and the architect makes recommendations based upon the contract so if they look at the contract and these i'm going to go specifically to excusable delays if they are excusable and they meet the contract then the architect would recommend approval for that well
025it says it's okay now you said it recommends but recommends to whom the school administration and they don't think that doesn't come to us it did has not come up that's why i'm asking that miller and i if it is under an excusable delay that is nothing that we could actually change under whether under i forget the wording of it but yes if it was something that was not an excusable flow that wasn't clearly written out then we would bring it back forward to discuss it okay that's that's my point because we are at a then we had b and then we at c and you know i know what takes place when it takes place the covert delays materials i understand all that but i just want to understand how that process works because
026people ask us when is the building going to be complete etc etc and then well i can always say it's going to be complete when it's complete but i just want to understand how that process works because we have not voted on said you know you have an extension you have an extension you have an extent i understand all that but that was my main questions and if there were a discrepancy or a dispute then that would go to the board and then turn legal and okay everything else if there's a dispute all right last question i have observed a lot of chain-link fence piled up over by the vocational road over there now we had talked about i believe some type of wrought iron or whatever but where is that chain-link fence is gonna
027go generally along the back of the campus the wrought iron is going between the buildings it's actually a decorative metal fence okay well let's back up on this that's going in it's going into the front okay and everything you're going the chain link is going back by the ag the pigs okay connecting this bug tech all the way around the back baseball fields football coming back in and i think it ends at the gym on the right hand side okay one last thing we've talked about this and it probably can't be solved now the awning that goes from the gym out to the bus parking lot uh that stops that the kids still have to walk to the other buildings that they're in now and uh i don't know how we can solve that but
028uh it seems like to me the audience should have gone all the way up for weather purposes yeah i wasn't here i know but i'm just telling you that it was a temporary building therefore it came out for something that's done in many districts which is cover the bus lot the bus loading and unloading so long term bus loading and unloading is covered and i can i can share that too one of the main reasons was because of the trucks were going in and out for a construction and using that back road and they could not go under an army in order to access the back the way that they were so that was one of the main things uh from my understanding why the army was not continuing on and of course it was
029temporary as well and i know that they have um discussed um you know give you a heavy downpours and different things that they could do uh on those things whether it's whole classes delayed classes shuttle bus i mean they've got some some strategies in place to assist with that okay last point miss pie well thank you for your update uh hopefully that we'll get these probably hopefully on a monthly basis uh to keep us in the loop as to when progress takes place go right now we're going to august of 2022 and uh we see the work some of the work but we don't know all was taking place but i want to thank you for your work and uh hopefully we can get those updates either personal about zoom so that we can keep
030abreast of what's going on thank you sir any other questions or comments just a comment uh it was nice to know that with the change of materials that you were still able to find some quality materials so we could have a really nice finished product yes and specifically like roof insulation it's a different material but it's still durable and the architect has declined several things by the way you may not even know that paint was in a shortage did you know paint was a shortage everything we look forward to taking another tour sometime in the near future yes and i have this presentation if we want to you know take one and pass it around and be fabulous this is what was on that board i'd just like to also uh publicly thank mr powell
031for his uh leadership and in this project not only on site but we have regular moving committee meetings where we discuss every detail that he has uh overseeing so i just want to say thank you for his leadership in the entire project dr park um yes uh under new business the consent agenda i'd like to recommend approval of the consent agenda as presented to the board you've heard the superintendent's recommendation to approve the consent agenda do i have a motion so move ms garland makes a motion this beverly seconds a motion is there any question or comments are there any questions or comments if not all in favor indicate by raising your hand opposed the same motion carries unanimously number two dr carter yes the next item is um i'm coming before you to ask
032or recommend a change to our calendar for the 2021-2022 school year and this is uh based upon session law 2021 130 that was just signed by governor cooper on august the 30th and basically what the law says is that school districts can use up to five remote instructional days when schools are unable to open due to severe weather emergency shortages power failures or other emergency situations we did put five remote learning days in our calendar for that purpose but since they are listed in the calendar and because of the um the session law that was just signed into place i'm asking that we removed those remote learning days even though there were placeholders in the calendar we'd like to take them out and then use them as needed based upon the law that was just
033fine so i'm recommending approval of the calendar revision that is before you and the only change is that we remove the five remote learning days in there and that there is a note at the bottom that remote learning days can be used up to five through the school year as needed based upon the guidelines of that session law you've heard the superintendent's recommendation you'll have a motion to approve the revised calendar mrs beverly makes a motion miss black will second some motion any discussion or comments not all in favor indicate by raising your hands motion carries unanimously dr carter next i'm bringing to you um another um update from session law 2021 130 it contained a lot of updated information that as i said was signed into uh placed by governor cooper on august 30th
034but this is um a law record regarding face coverings and within the law at parts uh 10 section 10 regarding face covering policies it states that for the 2021-2022 school year all public school units shall adopt a policy regarding the use of faith coverings by employees and students the governing body of the public school unit shall vote at least once a month on whether the faith covering policy should be modified and i spoke with kathy boyd from the north carolina association and of course mr bradshaw regarding um this temporary policy and and shared with them this is actually a template that came from the school board association so because of um your prior action on august 9th that uh there is uh district-wide universal masking in place now and then because of session law uh
0352021 uh 130 regarding putting a temporary policy into place i'm bringing to you a temporary policy um that uh and speaking with kathy boyd is not going to be a set that goes with the other policies because it is temporary only for this school year but then we'll put it in a prominent place with our coded information on the district website um so you can see in this temporary policy it does have reference to our current policies not the new ones that the school board association we're working with them to update because it is um just for this year only so i'm coming to you for two um recommendations first i'm recommending that the board waive the first read of the temporary policy regarding space coverage to comply with this session law and then second
036i'm going to ask you if you do that to adopt this temporary policy so i'm asking you if you are um if there's you know absolutely no questions that you waive that first read and then i'll recommend the second the second recommendation to adopt a policy you've heard the superintendent's recommendation to waive is there a motion battle made the motion is there a second second is garland's second submission any discussion or comments two things uh page one under b why would you have children why would children under two years of age even be here uh that this was i guess if any child came to a parent meeting or something that did they would enter the building for okay third page uh where i say refusing to wear a man disruptive behavior etc cetera i
037brought this to sometimes attention where it was being discussed that child would be suspended for 10 days i have a problem with that because we need to be consistent in what we do this is all new to everybody more or less and i don't want school ain't doing this and school be doing that we need to come to some kind of consensus as how that's going to be treated dr carter right um that falls under insubordination and i believe it reads a child could be suspended up to 10 days and there's usually a process for first there might be a warning and then it would have a process that goes up to that amount that is something that we can certainly discuss as principles throughout the world that's what i asked you about three weeks
038ago and i no no feedback well i want to know about that we all discussed that it would be considered insubordination and so there's a there's not an automatic 10 days for anyone under insubordination under the student code of conduct there is like three levels there's warning and then up to this amount and up to this amount and you know it really depends too on the severity of it i mean there's a child that can forget to wear it or had a nice reminder a couple times and really forgot or there could be someone who is insubordinate and confusing so there's different levels within that that's my point you know be careful what you say you know be able to back it up because when it's said it's done and kids will say well this
039is what i heard from i said this is what i heard so i just want us to be consistent in what we do from school a to school b that's my point about that and and we have discussed it falls under insubordination i mean it's uh and and quite frankly i haven't heard any any concern from the principal's point that it has been an issue but if you have any on the side i'd be more than happy to talk to you what would i talk [Music] i guess i'm maybe saying the same thing that mr battle is saying uh will north and south and high school and middle school will they all have the same thing whatever the severity is if you know a child for god is that everything is great that it will
040be consistent not that school a did something different from school b do we have our other principles are going to get together and come up with a written policy to add to this that would take care of that as opposed to their own discretion if this happens with this one and one school does something different so is there going to be a meeting of principles where they will come together and come up with um a consistent dr carter it really falls under our dress code as well i mean there's several things that it follows um i mean i know we're talking space match now but insubordination covers the whole gamut and you know principals do use their discretion and are consistent throughout their school and i mean they collaborate together and but there are incidences
041i just mentioned where it could be a different outcome uh so i don't think we need to box ourselves in i mean and say you know this this student is uh you know yelling back saying i'm not going to do it that's a whole different level of insubordination as opposed to a student who forgot and just he needs a couple reminders i'm sorry i understand that but what i'm saying is is that it because it be written out that whatever school a is doing that school b is doing and even if they're you know they talk about their own you know okay that this person is you know may not be in compliance or this person just forgot it i mean those type of wordings can be written out so that you won't come up
042with the problem that if it's at a different school and different ones say they did this one over here they did that because let's face it base masking is brand new to us so being more consistent we're coming up with something that um follows everybody's following the same protocol i would think that under the code of conduct there's a list of the procedures on insubordination or whatever you decide to do that this happens first this happens second and then you know you go almost battle i understand all that i understand what ms black was saying but four elementary schools are different than the middle school and the high school it's just different but if you say i'm gonna give you 10 days out of school it's already been said you see that's the point i'm
043bringing up okay i want us to be consistent i the principal can give up to 10 days i understand that that's that's the law but i want school b to be doing what school a is doing and vice versa there are different levels as as you go through you see different levels so that's the stage yeah may i call them mr troll to read that do you have sure sure i i think two things from uh my perspective is uh number one based on the approval of this policy would indicate our next steps and communicating with the principals versus we did not do that prior to because we did not know where this policy was going right that's number one number two uh in the code of conduct it is addressed under student insubordination and
044there is some guiding documentation there ms blackwell that says first offense second offense third offense if it's flagrant then you know they principals can go for a longer suspension whatever flagrant would mean in this case and they can go up to 10 days and ask the recommendation of the superintendent for longer i think that we haven't had issues yet and i'm not saying that it won't happen tomorrow but i think based on this policy being approved or going forward if there's any changes that we always have a leadership team meeting after the meeting after today to talk to principals about what has been discussed and what we need to do to go forward and that's one of the things that we're kind of looking at especially with this new document is being consistent so you
045know if i'm at dillard i get 10 days and if i'm in north i get time out i understand all that my point is don't box yourself in don't say it unless you can back it up that's what i'm saying yes sir because it has been said that's the point i'm making you see i got you i was just looking trying to understand that yes i read all that okay but i want us to be consistent in what we do i agree only did you have a comment i just was gonna say um when we're talking about like school a and b i i look at it as we have like four school a's elementary one b and one c with you know b being dillard and c so i would like are y'all saying
046that we need to punish them all the same way is that what you're asking that's not what i'm saying i said four elementary schools are different than the middle school and the high school okay so you're saying that the four elementary schools needs to be a uniform right you got six different administrators too gotcha philosophy i i was i thought we were we were sitting here um no no putting them all together yeah that's what i want to make sure okay let's go because i think that's the key too because when we talk about when we talk about insubordination and then we talk about the levels and the warnings of severity even with the different schools the administrators may see things a little bit differently so even with trying to make a policy about a
047policy you're still going to have some things that may fall outside of some incidences or some circumstances that may arise and so we're hoping that the administrators will uh like say up to i think it's a language that's important to make sure that we uh understand it can be up to uh 10 days depending on the circumstances and this will be something that is addressed at the admin meeting so that we're consistent and we've talked about it before and we'll certainly follow up again tomorrow ms blackwell and perhaps once after they have the meeting that that be posted you know the insubordination first one and saturday morning that is even if it's in the you know the code of conduct and maybe it's posted on websites and stuff so parents will already know but sometimes
048they don't read the whole booklet so it would be good to have that posted so that they will know you know what insubordination what happens with first sentence sorry any other discussion or comments if not all in favor of the motion raise your hand propose the same motion carries unanimously dr carter that was to waive the first read the first reading i'm now recommending the um i'm recommending approval of the temporary policy is before you on faith coverage you heard the superintendent's recommendation is there a motion i'll make the emotion that we um accept the superintendent's recommendation to accept the uh temporary policy that's before us ms garland has made the motion is there a second second battle is second to the motion any comments or discussion dr carter this also includes our revisiting this
