001Good evening everyone. If you would uh join us for the flag salute please. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. Let the the roll call of the board that all board members are present except for Dr. McNeel. Next is the adoption of the agenda for approval. Second. Mr. Nwin, yes. Miss Roman, yes. Miss McAdams, yes. And chair votes yes as well. All right. All consent agenda. All of the following items, those items of a routine nature, normally approved at board meetings, will be approved by one vote unless any board member desires to have a separate vote on any or all of these items. The consent agenda consists of the
002discussion, consideration, and action on the following items A through KK. Please note that consent item Z will be on a separate vote. Move for approval. Second, Miss McAdams, yes. Miss Roman, yes. Mr. Newman, yes. Chair votes yes as well. And then Z is change order number one with American Air Conditioning of Tulsa LLC for the districtwide rooftop unit RTU replacement project in the amount of $163,766 from bond funds as outlined in attachment Z and authorize the board president superintendent or design to execute the agreement. Move for approval. Second. Mr. New? Yes. Miss McAdams? Yes. Miss Roman. Yes. And chair votes yes as well. Thank you. All right. Information reports. USPA. Okay. UCTA report. Miss Gun. That was a tall person. President Reyes, Dr. Federline, members of the board. Um, during the last month, UCA has
003been busy. We've held our building rep elections for next year, and I'm happy to say we have a rep in every site um throughout the district. We also went to OEA's delegate assembly. We sent several people to that. Um and our negotiations team has been working hard with the extra duty stipen committee or on the committee um in preparations for upcoming negotiations. And I also wanted to thank the district for offering the opportunity for certified teachers to participate in the teacher empowerment program. Thank you. Thank you. Next is professional learning communities. Mrs. Gray. Good evening, President Reyes, Dr. Federline, members of the board. On behalf of elementary and secondary teachers and administrative staff, we want to say thank you for the approved calendar time this school year during the early release Fridays to bring back
004professional learning communities. An overwhelming response that this time is most valuable has been expressed and we're proud of the upward trends in student data as we strengthen our tier one core instruction. With me this evening is Peter's Elementary principal Tracy Whis and sixth grade principal Tammy Ward to share their appreciation and some of their accomplishments as a result of early release Fridays. Yes, good evening. Thank you, President Reyes, members of the board and Dr. Federline. So, I wanted to share a few things that we did with our early release time. So the screen that you see right here, this is a new collaboration document that our staff uses and it is a focus. We have one for reading and one for math and it uses a teacher clarity lens. So we've used this this year.
005And then the next slide you'll see this is a collaboration plan form that we use. This is just one of them. Each grade level uses this to help us stay focused and it just really helps them plan out what are they doing right now and then what are they going to be doing with the next early release Friday as well as our PD plan. and then if there's anything that they need to use or do or prepare for the next Friday. And then I also just asked some grade levels what did they think of early release Friday, especially since a lot of my staff were used to the late start Fridays. So here's some things that they said. They were very appreciative and when they were able to have that early release Friday, they were
006able to stay focused longer because they did not feel rushed to end what they were doing. They could stay and finish as long as they needed since they did not have to get to class to welcome their students in for the day. They could use the time to break down CFAs, state standards, move through the students misconceptions as long as they needed because there was no time constraint and it was the best ever. Thanks guys. President Reyes board, Dr. Profer line, thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about how embedded collaboration has impacted Union sixth grade center and secondary as a whole. To reach a mission of 100% graduation, this means we as a district must make every effort to ensure students are learning the essential skills at each grade level. The
007collaborative PLC process is not just time for teachers to share or discuss their craft. When done right is a it is a systematic process of diving deep into student data, identifying learning misconceptions, and working together to plan instructional interventions. PLC's are a vital component to the response to intervention RTI process. The PLC process does not happen overnight. At my site, my teachers have spent time attending professional development, meeting with consultants, and constantly reflecting and refining their PLC meetings. Here are some of the steps to success we've had this year. In a recent survey that I gave my teachers, 93% of those responding indicated that collaboration allowed them to build stronger working relationships with their colleagues. We know from research that stronger relationships with colleagues leads to higher retention rates. My science and geography departments identified
008essential literacy skills in each of their subject areas and worked on common assessments and instructional practices. On a recent PLC cycle, a sixth grade math set, my sixth grade math teacher set a goal of 70% of their students mastering addition and subtraction of integers. They met that goal at 67%. So very close. And finally, I'd like to point your attention to the charts we have on the screen. This is some STAR data um from six through grade 11. And for those who don't know what the STAR reading assessment is, it's a computer adaptive test designed to measure students reading comprehension and overall reading ability. This is widely used K through 12. The assessment tool provides teachers, students, and families with progress data providing grade equival equivalency and reading level data. It also can provide a
009percentile rank which compares students results against a national norm. So this first chart shows how many students are on track for a year's worth of reading growth. So for example, just for sixth grade, you can see last year we only had a little bit uh over 40% on track for a year's growth. And this year we have a little over 60%. That is significant growth within a year. And if you look at the chart, that's at each of our um sites throughout secondary. And then the second chart, our goal is for students to have a score of proficiency. And as you can see, the percentage of students who are getting to proficiency again has increased. If you see that through we start at 2122. And then you can just see a a direct shot up
010at each grade level uh beginning this year. And we definitely feel like this data reflects not only our student success, but our teachers commitment to this process and being more consistent to assessment and using this data. So we just want to thank you guys again for your commitment to uh early release Fridays and making sure that we have that embedded collaboration um into our week. Thank you. [Applause] Fantastic. So, you can see that we are very proud of our schools, elementary and secondary, of the intentionality behind the work, but also the student achievement gains. And I'm talking from our our youngest learners. We are really, really excited about what we're seeing. So, thank you guys. Oh, very good. Thank you guys for that. Appreciate it. All right. Next on the agenda is hearings and correspondence.
011None. Okay. All right. On the business agenda, a instruction consider and take action on the purchase of 700 iPads and cases for all elementary sites from Apple Inc. in the amount of $256,165 from bond funds. Mr. Morris, President Reyes, Dr. Federal line, members of the board, this is um our first phase of replacing uh some outdated iPads and our one to1 iPads at all the elementary sites. Um so we're kind of we'll do this in phases. We're going to replace the fifth generation iPads that are still out there. Um those were purchased back in 2016, 2015, 2016. So they're they're quite aged. Um so it's time to get them replaced. There's there's another purchase that goes with this um that uh didn't need board proof because it's so small, but it was headphones. Um the
012iPads this year um Apple has done away with a headphone jack. So now as we buy iPads, we have to have the additional cost of bringing in headphones that had the USBC plug in them instead. So we're a little more increased to the cost of our iPads, but hopefully they'll uh they'll last just as long as those fifth generation did. Miss Roman, yes. Mr. Nuin, yes. Dr. McNeel, yes. Miss McAdams, yes. And chair votes yes as well. Thank you. Thank you. Next. Consider and take action on the purchase of college and career ready labs, excuse me, from Pax and Patterson Labs for the seventh and eighth grade centers in the amount of $26,265 from bond funds. Dr. Moore. Good evening, President Reyes, Dr. Federine. Members of the board, just want to um ask for your
013approval for purchase of a new uh curriculum that we're offering to our seventh and eighth grade students um through Paxton Patterson Labs. It's a pretty exciting opportunity for our kids to get a lot of different career exposures um u throughout various industries in line with our mission of 100% graduation, college, and career ready. Um at the seventh grade, they'll have an opportunity to have um an exposure, I believe, 12 different modules that are designed to be 10-day modules. um and they'll do a lot of hands-on activities. So, really changing um the model that we use at the the sixth uh or excuse me, at the seventh grade level um for some of our STEM offerings. So, still in line with our vision of doing a lot of cool things where they're going to get an
014opportunity to um do some labs in class and learn about different careers. And then specifically in eighth grade, they'll um have an entire class that's dedicated to medical modules um and having um different exposure to various healthcare career fields throughout the year. So um obviously with us thinking about the launch of a new pocket academy um for the medical academy going into next year, um really thinking about career exposure for our students down in the younger grade levels so they can get an idea of what they'd like to uh pursue. Um, so by the time they get into ninth grade and at the high school, they'll have an opportunity to be a little bit further along and maybe what they would like to do or maybe not, but they'll have um some different exposure. Um,
015what we'd like to see is providing a lot of different um entry ramps and exit ramps for our kids to have a various exposures to all these different industries. So, pretty exciting. And with your approval, we'd be able to make those purchases to outfit those classrooms and kind of completely redesign that we deliver a lot of our instruction for those specific classes. Thank you. Questions, comments? Are the medical modules are they offered um through the teachers teaching them or they bring in community healthare professionals? That's a great question. So, I think we've been pretty successful with our model and these other sort of pocketmies and relying on industry professionals to kind of come in alongside our teachers. Um what's difficult is finding somebody that's obviously um with the technical expertise that's needed in some of
016these things. Um but with these models they're they're pretty baseline and they've got a learning management system where there's a lot of online modules that are based so in the absence of a professional they're still able to get the exposure. For instance, the veterinary um module that I've seen there's like a rubber dog that they identify the different systems and um they're able to do some different things with that. But then I think that there's a great opportunity to ask industry professionals to come in and do some of the things. Um it it just it's a little bit different when those industry professionals come in as opposed to hearing it from the classroom teacher or from us just because they have those lived experiences. Um so we've already got um a teacher in place at
017the eighth grade to teach that. Um she's been teaching um a different class and she'll shift into this new role um and go to the training this summer. And so we're excited to to be able to offer that. Another question. Will it replace or be in um uh unison or alignment with the project lead the way? Um not not replacing it'll it'll be in unison with it. You know, it's again it's sort of still part of our STEM strategy. Um but just kind of allowing some different ways for students to engage some of our PLTW um coursework. uh while it's it's great and we love to have it but the student engagement and the and the enrollment numbers have sort of dipped in some of those areas um I am happy to report with these
018classes in particular what we did was we offered them during the enrollment season just to see if there was a student demand before we decided to make this type of investment and there were over Michelle how many did you have over 200 students that requested um and then we actually initially the plan was to just do um the career exposure across various fields but we had so many kids that express interest in a specific medical pathway that we're able to have actually two full-time classes at the eighth grade now. One of them specialized and the other one being across the different areas. So, um I don't know if that answered your question, but we're still going to have those PLTW offerings. Um and they're still going to be in the same vein of the the
019type of coursework um and the type of hands-on activities that they're that they're going to get to do. Um, and we're super excited, you know, to have that type of student demand and hopefully we'll be able to see that increase and and grow as they metriculate up through the upper grade levels. Thank you. Dr. Moore, is this for you said all uh seventh and eighth grade students? Okay. So, it's not a small population. All of our students. Yeah. All of the students were able to So, again, in the enrollment season, um, we have in our course catalog, you know, describes the different courses and elective offerings that they're able to take advantage of. Um, and so every student was able to select whether or not they would like to to be take a part in
020this or not. Um, so at the seventh grade level, they're going to they're going to have that as part of their wheel offerings where they get some different exposures. And then in eighth grade, um, having those two different classes. So yes, I mean, they all had the the chance to be able to take advantage of it. Um, Baylor Moore being one of them in eighth grade next year, he's super excited about it. They did a good job presenting it at the enrollment um, conferences. So, I think it's going to be I think it's going to be a really great addition. Thank you. I noticed it's a five-year contract. Is that just for the curriculum? So, the Yeah, the five-year contract is the I think there's a line item for 3,800 um for the subscription services.
021And so, as I'd mentioned before, um Gart's working alongside their tech people um to see how it doesn't quite integrate with Canvas. It'll be a standalone learning management system, but um having all those lessons and modules available, it would be a five-year agreement. for approval. Second. Dr. McNeil, yes. Miss McAdams, yes. Mr. Roman, yes. Mr. Newman, yes. Chair votes yes as well. Thank you. All right. Next is consider and take action on the purchase of the district plan with talking points for two years in the amount of $153,300 from bond funds. Mr. Morris. Yes. Uh talking points is our communication uh method that we use with our teachers and parents. Um it does all the translation for us. Um our parents have gotten really used to using this. They love the the text message or
022the the app um to communicate with the school. We find that attendance is um our attendance clerks like to use it especially at the high school and secondary levels. They they communicate with parents that way. um it's fast, it's efficient, and the translation is is really um superb compared to any other offerings that are out there in in this type of vein. So um this will give us another two years of that and also expands into um we we're adding an attendance feature that will actually pull um our attendance data and um give us a little more direct line where they you don't have to have to have an individual person be the attendance clerk. you can set several people to be the attendance clerk for a school and that way anybody can respond and
023receive those messages from parents that you set at your site instead of just one person. So that's going to help us out with that too questions comments anyone move for approval second Miss Roman yes Mr. Nuin yes Dr. McNeil. Yes. Miss McAdams. Yes. And chair votes yes as well. Thank you. Thank you. Next is consider and take action on the purchase of software subscriptions from Panorama Education Inc. in the amount of $274,65160 from bond funds. Mr. Pennington. Yes, Mr. Rees, Dr. Federline, members of the board. Uh thank you for hearing me. Um super excited about renewing this uh service agreement. Uh it does integrate our infinite campus, all of its demographic information uh with a lot of academic data. Uh so we have our attendance uh behavior, grades, star scores, access scores, our hope scores
024along with all of the well-being surveys that we give uh in support of relationships, self-management, uh supportive relationships, emotional regulation, and hope of course. Um I'm really proud of us. I want to brag a little bit when I say us. I mean our students, our teachers, uh our support staff, our administrators. Uh we just got our survey results back in hope uh in this spring survey and we have recorded the highest levels of hope uh that we have in our three years of implementation. So we're super excited about this growing. Also in this agreement, we will be adding the high school. So we will now be uh surveying uh third through 12th grade. So with your permission, we would love to to re to continue to have hope in this district. Right. Thank you for
025that. Questions, comments, anyone? Move for approval. Second. All right. Dr. McNeill, yes. Miss McAdams, yes. Mr. Shwin, yes. Miss Rome, yes. The chair votes yes as well. Thank you. All right. school operations. Consider and take action on the purchase of Microsoft 365 licenses from Dante LLC in the amount of $162,323.95 from bond funds. Mr. Borland. Yes. Good evening. This is our uh license agreement with Microsoft. This provides our internet, our storage, our one drive, our server licensing. This provides everything to do with Microsoft. um our entire infrastructure, which if we didn't have this, it'd be a really bad week for us. So, um everything we do relies on this. And you may or may not notice the price is significantly cheaper than last time, like well over $100,000 cheaper. So, we've confirmed four different times
026that this is accurate, and they've assured us it is. So, fingers crossed that it's accurate. Yeah, good job on that negotiation. Yeah, I I did a great job. I tried to give him more money. So, all right. Did you get a first and a second? Okay. Miss McAdams? Yes. Dr. McNeil? Yes. Mr. Nuin? Yes. Miss Roman? Yes. And chair votes yes as well. Thank you. All right. consider and take action to accept the bid for the fascia replacement at Alternative Education and award the contract to Construction Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $118,711 from bond funds. Dr. Robinson. Yeah, President Reyes, Dr. Federline, this project is to replace there's an old foam ephus system on building A of the alternative school building. It's that like overhang area. the substrate on it water damaged and rotted
027out and we've got chunks of it starting to fall off that we've had to repair. So, we're gonna replace the entire system. We've totally redesigned it and go back with a metal paneling system to replace the ephus fashion. It also includes uh repairing and uh replacing any of the guttering that's damaged around the entire campus. That's both on A, B, and C. And also painting building C. We seek your approval. Move for approval. Second. Dr. McNeil? Yes. Miss McAdams? Yes. Miss Roman? Yes. Mr. Shuin? Yes. And chair both? Yes. As well. Thank you. Consider and take action to accept a bid for the unit ventilator replacements at Freshman Academy and award the contract to American Air Conditioning of Tulsa LLC in the amount of $374,700 from bond funds. Dr. Robinson. Yeah, we've noticed last summer
028when we were at the freshman academy replacing what we call the building automation system. Once we had that project completed, we noticed there was some mechanical problems with the building. Um, all of the HVAC at the Freshman Academy is original to the 1987ish build. Um, so we noticed some of the units weren't responding to the new BAS system, not because the BAS system was bad, but because the units are beyond repair. Uh, so there's about 16 unit ventilators and some actuators throughout the building um that we're going to replace with this project. Will it be finished in time for school next year? We're going to sure try. Move for approval. Second. Miss Roman. Yes. Mr. New? Yes. Dr. McNeel? Yes. Miss McAdams? Yes. Chair? Yes. As well. All right. consider and take action to accept
029the bid for the exterior painting project at Moore Elementary and award the contract to Magnum Construction Inc. in the amount of $110,950 from bond funds. Dr. Robinson. Yep. Pretty straightforward project. This is just exterior paint. Uh we are changing the color palette. It's going to be um the lower brick will be painted kind of a darker black fox color. Um and then the lighter uh top will be the accessible beige. And then there's some uh kind of accent colors around the windows at more. We'll paint those kind of an in between color um as well. We sent several renderings to some of the upper leadership in the site as well. They're really excited for the the new colors. It's also new signage as well. Move for approval. Second. Miss McAdams. Yes. Dr. McNeel. Yes. Miss
030Rome. Yes. Mr. Newan. Yes. And chair votes yes as well. Thank you. Thank you. All right. consider and take action to accept a bid for the innovation lab phase 3 aviation classrooms and award the contract to Magnum Construction Inc. in the amount of 259,000 from bond funds. Dr. Robinson. Yes. So, this project is to frame in um on the west side of the building between the current uh construction lab and the aviation room which I think some of you were there today. Um it's kind of an open uh studio space for the construction classes. We need supplemental place uh spaces for classroom um instruction for the aviation program that continues to expand. So really it's just framing in that open space and turning it into two uh dedicated classrooms, one a more traditional classroom, a
031second uh construction lab. And of course framing those in uh creates a corridor from uh where the restrooms are all the way back to the to the simulator lab. So it's just east of the simulator lab, that space east of it. Yes. And that's Mr. Osborne's room. Move for Miss Roman. Yes. Mr. Newman. Yes. Dr. McNeel. Yes. Miss McAdams. Yes. The chair votes just as well. Thank you. All right. Next. Consider and take action to accept a bid for the roof replacement at Garmin Elementary and award the contract to Alva Roofing Company in the amount of 1,745,000 from bond funds. Dr. Robinson. Still me. Um yeah, this is a complete roof replacement for Garmin Elementary. So, this takes the roof uh which is original to 1990 all the way down to the deck. uh introduces
032uh 5 in of uh insulation and then a new uh uh modified bitment uh cap sheet on top of that. Move for approval. Second. Dr. McNeil. Yes. Miss Roman. Yes. Mr. New? Yes. Miss McAdams? Yes. Chair both? Yes. As well. Thank you. Thank you all. All right. Next. Consider and take action to accept the purchase agreement with Synergy Group LLC for the purchase of property referenced on the contract as lot one block 1 of Union Gardens aka 6420 South 101 101st East Avenue Tulsa Oklahoma 74133 to approve payment of 23,000 for earnest money and to authorize the superintendent or designate to execute the contracts and agreements to secure the necessary due diligent inspections with the total purchase price of $2,300,000 not including associated closing costs from bond funds. Mr. Bushian. Yes, President Reyes, Dr. Federline
033board. Um discussed a little bit. We're looking at a property. Um it's currently the Lux Cheer Building. It it now has two people renting it the building. Uh it's about 21,000 square feet. Our hopes if we're able to secure the property that we would use this for some of our practice facilities, for some of our spirit groups, and even possibly Winter Guard will start programming if we're able to purchase this. Its location is right across um 101st from um Sanders Field, the old football field. Uh some good things about it, they spent the money and had that's mostly septic out there. So they spent the money and have the the plumbing connected with the city. Uh we have hired CJC architects to come in and help us with the due diligence process which includes an
034evaluation of the structure uh which will include structural engineers, the slab, uh the the actual construction of the building, reviewing the construction documents uh that we have in our possession. Um, we also have an appraisal set uh for about three weeks from now. Um, and you'll notice in the contract that we've agreed to pay as long if if the appraisal doesn't not come within 93% of the offer price, uh, then we will renegotiate with the seller. So, we felt like that was that was fair. Um, the earnest money that you're approving is the typical 1% on commercial property. So, it's a little little more expensive than what you put down on a home home purchase, but um we feel good about it. Um we've had the architects jumped in even, you know, and and they've
035talked to the city of Tulsa. We feel good about the zoning. It is now uh considered a corridor district, which I have learned basically means it's held for whatever the future holds. So if they ever decided that that was going to become retail again, then they would change it. So it's not necessarily designated a specific item. Um because the building was a spirit facility before when they originally built it. Uh they gave us some really positive feedback on our ability to use it. So there's some good things about it. Uh the plan would be we would go in gut m most most of the middle of it and redo uh locker rooms uh in a few office areas. There is stairwell already built in so that uh we hope to maintain the viewing area uh
036that is up there. But again a lot of this will be contingent on what what the city approves in terms of the plans. Um but um a lot of documents I've given you tonight, they keep coming in. So, it's kind of like when you do go sign on a home loan, um you know that you get to sign a lot of things. So, thank you to uh Kurt Frenzel who I think has received items as late as four hours ago. Yeah, maybe you know uh to review for us also to make sure that we're we're in good shape on it. But, um any questions? So, if we purchase the property this summer, there's like a construction company or something in there now. Do we p that lease as well. Yeah, I get to be a
037landlord for a while. So, they they'll continue to lease from us. Uh we did receive uh signed agreement that they would not extend the lease after the the the lease period ends. One ends in March and the other one ends in June of 26. So, we're we're a year out. Um, but again, right now, uh, we don't have funds set aside to actually do the remodel. So, it's something that we would we would bring, uh, to the board as part of our our next bond possibly. Uh, but yes, they they would still be in there. Um, and we'll work with that them. It's kind of like what we did when we we bought the property at Garnet Church of Christ. We continue to maintain a relationship with them and let them lease that from us
038uh during the period. Explain the value of purchasing this building instead of what we were going to do at sixth and seventh grade. So our original plan with the sixth seventh grade center was we were going to add the seventh grade gym which was going to create two separate spaces that would could be used as as practice space for our spirit groups before school. It would have added another gym. One of the negatives of that is because of the 2018 building code, it was going to have have to be be structured in a way that it would uh house a lot of kids during inclement weather uh high winds. Um, which is something again I want to stress that's one of our plans with the internal part of this building is when we go back
039in and do all the locker rooms, we're going to harden those spaces uh because it is a metal building. And so, but we were estim I say we uh our construction managers were estimating that was going to be between 10 and 11 million uh for that gym. And uh as we've gone through the process of outlining the work and getting pricing back on our current sixth seventh grade project, that portion was not going to to be completed on this bond. And so looking at by the time we do it, I'm guessing way things are going, it's going to be more than $1 million. um this property uh we feel like again estimate wise between three and a half million $4.5 million to renovate it and do what we want to it. We're going to have
040to replace parking lot and some other things. Uh but so we're going to end up with more practice space that's actually going to be available to them and not compete with use uh by the by sixth and seventh grade, which was a little concern because seventh grade gets there early. Uh but um again and design it so that it is their home, right? And that that's kind of one of the things that we've fought with as you know over the years we created a space for volleyball because they never had anywhere to practice during basketball season and you know we've created spaces for other groups and so I think we're going to get to that a lot quicker and it's going to be a lot cheaper. Uh and in the end we're going to have
041more space. We we feel like because there's 20 feet on the exterior walls and 30 feet at the pitch uh it does provide us the opportunity to create uh larger high spaces which which expands your ability right like cheer higher ceilings whereas dance doesn't uh winter guard we we need a retractable roof for them but uh just looking at Matt uh and but we feel like we're going to be able to um create four practice spaces that are going to be unique, right? Flooring that will handle some of some of the abuse. Okay? I mean, things fallen on them and so forth or um specific flooring for the different groups. So, that's that's what it's replacing. So, what we would do is if everything goes as planned, uh we would not build the seventh grade
042gym at the sixth seventh grade center. So, we would just utilize the sixth and seventh grade gym itself. We already had plans to take the sixth grade gym, turn two of the locker rooms into locker rooms for some of the spirit groups. Again, trying to find them homes. Um we think we're going to actually get more more for less on this in terms of providing uh opportunities and places for our kids to land. Excuse the pun. Right. So this increases space for our spirit groups and increases gym space for sixth seventh at the same time. No. No. This will not be used by the sixth seventh other than the spirit groups in the winter, but they would have lost space to spirit. Um they would have at certain times of the day. Yeah. So we
043still have the two gyms there. uh it it hurts that project a little bit in terms of trying to separate it as much as we were, but since we're adding the second corridor, we feel like that's not going to be as big of an issue um for the building because wish I had a picture, but where the hallway is in front of the the uh media center, on the other side of that hallway from the media center is going to be a bank of administrative offices replacing those classrooms. And on the other side of that is going to be a corridor all the way through from the gym area lobby to to the cafeteria area lobby. So we feel like that circulation is going to going to improve. So we don't feel like necessarily it's
044as big of an issue. So we have 45 days on the due diligence. We are scheduled to close if everything goes well on I want to say June 26th. We keep going back and forth on it. So, uh we we're ahead of the game on a few of the things. Like I said, the the appraisal is scheduled. Um we've already been looking at the documents with the architects.
