GOOD MORNING. IT IS 08:36 AM AND THIS IS
[00:00:04]
A CALLED SPECIAL MEETING OF THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES.I CAN CERTIFY THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM PRESIDENT OF FOUR TRUSTEES AND THAT THIS WAS POSTED APPROPRIATELY.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2, WHICH IS PUBLIC FORUM.
MS. HOGAN, DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? SEEING THAT WE HAVE NO CARDS, I'M GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 3,
[III. Superintendent's Message]
WHICH IS THE SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE.LET'S GET A WALK-IN AND LET'S GO CHECK OUT THESE FACILITIES.
THEN WE MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 4,
[IV. Review of Campuses for Facilities Assessment and Suitability]
WHICH IS A REVIEW OF CAMPUSES FOR FACILITY ASSESSMENT AND SUITABILITY.WE HAVE SEVERAL CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK TODAY AND IT'S DONE ADJOURNING.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A RECESS AND IN-BETWEEN EACH CAMPUS WE'RE GOING TO RECESS, ANNOUNCE WHERE WE ARE IN STATE AT THE TIME.
THEN WHEN WE'VE COMPLETE THE TOUR, WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE TIME THAT WE'VE COMPLETED THAT TOUR RECESS AND THEN RECONVENE AT THE NEXT LOCATION.
I'LL BE CHECKING THE CLOCK OFTEN.
BEFORE WE RECESS, WE WOULD LIKE TO COVER THE FORMAT OF THE DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF YOU.
WHEN WE GET TO OUR FIRST CAMPUS, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE SAME FOR ALL FOUR CAMPUSES.
MR. JOHNSON, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR. LOPEZ, GOOD MORNING.
AS MR. JOHNSON MENTIONED WE HAVE A TOUR OF FOUR CAMPUSES THIS MORNING.
THESE CAMPUSES ARE WALNUT GLENN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE, HILLSIDE ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE, CENTERVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND DOWDY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THE PURPOSE OF THESE TOURS ARE TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCES IN OUR CAMPUSES FROM AGE.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT SHORTLY, THE SCI SCORE, THE EDUCATIONAL ADEQUATELY SCORES YOU SEE IT PHYSICALLY.
WE HAVE EXCELLENT EDUCATORS AND GARLAND ISD, AN EXCELLENT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND THE GOAL OF THESE DISCUSSIONS FROM OUR FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT IS ALSO TO HAVE EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT FOR THE NEXT 50-100 YEARS.
AS YOU TURN THE PAGE, PASS THE AGENDA, AND GO TO WALNUT GLENN, WHAT I'M GOING TO COVER BUT BEFORE ACTUALLY, I WILL TELL MR. GONZALEZ TO COVER.
BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, AS WE HEARD DR. LOPEZ TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY, OUR FOUR PILLARS AND THE DISTRICT FOR OUR FOCUS DISTRICTS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1901, AND THIS VIBE, WORLD WARS, THE DEPRESSION, THE RECESSION, THE PANDEMIC AND WILL CONTINUE TO SURVIVE THOSE WITH YEARS TO COME WITH THESE TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS.
BUT THOSE EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES SUPPORT OUR KIDS AND MY KIDS IN THIS DISTRICT WILL BE THE GOAL OF THESE DISCUSSIONS.
MR. GONZALEZ, I'LL TURN OVER TO YOU TO TALK TO THE FORMAT OF WHAT IS IN THE PACKET.
GOOD MORNING, PRESIDENT JOHNSON, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR. LOPEZ.
I'M GOING TO GO A REALLY QUICK OVERVIEW OF THIS.
BASICALLY, IN FRONT OF YOU HAVE THE VERY FIRST ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT AS WALNUT GLENN.
YOU'LL SEE THE AGE OF THE FACILITY, TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, THE CAPACITY, ENROLLMENT, AND HOW IT'S BROKEN DOWN.
CAMPUS UTILIZATION, PORTABLES THAT'S ON YOUR FRONT COVER PAGE.
IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT WHAT PROGRAMS WE HAVE AT THAT CAMPUS.
IF YOU GO TO THE VERY NEXT PAGE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A VERY HIGH-LEVEL VIEW OF THE CAMPUS, HOW IT LAYS OUT, WHERE IT LAYS OUT IN THE DISTRICT SURROUNDING OTHER ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES THAT'S AROUND THE AREA.
YOU'RE GOING TO ALSO SEE AN AERIAL VIEW OF WHAT SPBK DEVELOPED THIS ASSESSMENT.
AGAIN, THIS IS ALL OUT OF THE ASSESSMENT FACILITATES THE LONG-RANGE MASTER PLAN ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE BY PBK.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN YOUR LEDGE FOR THAT ONE PARTICULAR PAGE.
ON PAGE 6, YOU'LL SEE THE PRIORITY 1S, PRIORITY 2S, PRIORITY 3S, WHAT SITE IMPROVEMENTS THEY'VE RECOMMENDED.
ALSO ON THE VERY NEXT PAGE, WHICH IS PAGE 7, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE FLOOR PLAN, HOW THE CAMPUS IS LAID OUT IN THE CLASSROOMS. THIS WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE CLASSROOMS, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETINGS, WHEN IN REGARDS TO THE CLASSROOMS AND PORTABLE.
AS WE VISIT THESE CAMPUSES, I PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE CLASSROOMS AND PORTABLE SPACES THAT WE HAVE AT THOSE CAMPUSES.
THE VERY NEXT PAGE, ON PAGE 8, YOU'RE GOING TO ALSO SEE THE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS IF WE DECIDED TO DO FUTURE ADDITIONS TO THESE CAMPUSES, WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED AS THE AREAS WHERE WE COULD EXPAND IF WE WANTED TO.
[00:05:01]
AGAIN, IT'S ALL BROKEN OUT BY PRIORITIES.PAGE 9 IS BASICALLY THE PROPOSED ITEMS AND THE SUMMARY REPORT FOR PRIORITY 1S AND 2S.
YOU'LL SEE THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS FOR THOSE SCOPES.
THE TOTAL AMOUNTS AND THEN AGAIN, ALL THE WAY UP TO 10 YEARS AND GIVE YOU THE LAYOUT OF THE LONG-RANGE MASTER PLAN AND WHAT IT WOULD COST TO MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE SITES.
YOU HAVE THE LIFESTYLE RIGHT BELOW THAT YOU'LL SEE THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT BREAKDOWN.
YOU HAVE THE LIFECYCLE, WHICH IS THE FCIS.
YOU HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL ADEQUACY, THE FCIS, AND IN THE COMBINED FCIS THAT GIVES YOU THE TOTAL SCORE.
THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW ENGAGED TO LEARN BROKE DOWN THE RUBRIC AND FURTHER INTO BOOKLET AS I GET TO IT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HOW THAT RUBRIC WAS DEVELOPED AND WHAT WAS PART OF THAT RUBRIC.
HERE ON PAGE 10, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AS THE GROUP PBK AND THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT AND HERE AT GISD CAME UP WITH THOSE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES AND ALSO INPUT FROM THE CAMPUS STAFF.
YOU'LL SEE PRIORITIES 1S, 2S, AND 3S AS WE GO THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT DEFICIENCIES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THESE CAMPUSES.
PRETTY MUCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH PAGE 13 AND THEN HERE'S WHERE WE GET DOWN TO THE ADEQUACY AND THE RUBRIC PIECE OF IT.
THE DIFFERENT ITEMS OR THE SCORE WE'RE ENGAGED TO LEARN CAME UP WITH THEIR FINAL SCORE.
YOU HAVE THE SECURITY PIECE, YOU HAVE THE FACILITIES PIECE, LEARNING SPACES PIECE.
THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ENGAGE THE LEARNER WAS HERE.
WE'VE MET WITH COMMUNITY WHO MET WITH PRINCIPLES.
IT WAS A VERY JOINT EFFORT TO GET THIS PIECE OF DONE.
YOU'LL SEE THE LEARNING SPACES, THE TECHNOLOGY, FURNITURE, STORAGE, AND SUSTAINABILITY GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF SOME NOTES AND FEEDBACK FOR THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS.
WHEN WE MET THERE ON THE CAMPUS WITH ENGAGED TO LEARN AND THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION.
AS WE GO THROUGH THE SCHOOLS, PLEASE, I HAVE THE MAINTENANCE DIRECTOR HERE, JIMMY BEACH, JAVIER FERNANDEZ IS HERE ALSO.
WE HAVE THE PEOPLE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AS WE GO THROUGH OUR TOURS.
I'LL JUST GIVE THEM A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT A FACILITY STUDY FROM OUR ARCHITECTS ARE TO A STUDY FROM ENGAGED TO LEARN.
ON THE PIECES THAT PBK FROM THE ARCHITECTURE THEY'RE LOOKING AT LIFE CYCLES, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING.
THEY'RE LOOKING AT BUILDING ENVELOPES, THE ROOFS, WINDOWS, FOUNDATION.
WHEN WE GO ON THE INSIDE, YOU GOT TO LOOK AT, AS YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR BOOKLET, YOU'LL SEE MEP, WHICH HAS ALL THE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BROKEN DOWN FOR AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, ANY SITE IMPROVEMENTS THEY WERE NEEDING, FENCING, DOORS, ANY SECURITY UPGRADES THAT NEED TO BE DONE AT THESE CAMPUSES.
THEN ON THE ENGAGED TO LEARN IS BASICALLY HOW THE BUILDING WAS BUILT ORIGINALLY AND HOW WE'RE USING IT CURRENTLY FOR OUR CURRICULUM.
DOES THE BUILDING MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR CURRICULUM? OUR TEACHERS GETTING EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO HELP OUR STUDENTS LEARN THAT PARTICULAR PART OF THE CURRICULUM.
ALL THAT BEING SAID IS WE'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING FACILITIES AND LEARNING SPACES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS HERE AT GISD.
AS YOU GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE FACILITIES, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS ARE OUTDATED AND HOW THEY MAY NOT BE MEETING THE NEEDS. YES.
I WANT TO EXPAND ON SOMETHING JUST BEFORE WE ANSWER QUESTIONS BECAUSE WHILE WE'RE ON IT, ENGAGE TO LEARN LOOKS AT LIKE FOR INSTANCE, THIS FACILITY, THE GRCTC, THIS WOULD GET A VERY HIGH RATING FROM ENGAGED TO LEARN.
IF YOU LOOK AROUND HOW THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED, IT'S BUILT FOR LEARNING, IT'S BUILT FOR ENGAGEMENT, IT'S BUILT FOR THIS.
THE BLUEPRINT FROM ENGAGED TO LEARN WAS CREATED INTERNALLY BY A NUMBER OF PARENTS, A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, A NUMBER OF ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, THEIR BLUEPRINT.
WHEN WE SEE THAT SCORE, THIS IS COMING FROM OUR PEOPLE.
THEY SPEND DAYS AND DAYS AND DAYS AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST CRITICAL ON THIS TYPE OF BOND WORK CAME BACK AND SAID, WOW, I FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS FOR SCHOOLS AND NOT JUST THE HARDENING THAT WE DON'T SEE.
[00:10:03]
IT'S GOING TO ENHANCE THE LOVE FOR SCHOOLING FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND KIDS.WHEN YOU SEE THIS ISN'T LIKE THEM COMING UP SAYING THIS IS HOW YOUR SCHOOLS NEED TO BE.
THIS WAS DEVELOPED BY GARLAND CITIZENS AND THEN THEY TOOK THAT RUBRIC AND ASSESSED ALL OUR CAMPUSES.
YES, SIR, AND THAT'S WHY I LEFT DOWDY IS THE VERY LAST CAMPUS THAT WE'RE GOING TO VISIT.
THAT WAS THE LAST ELEMENTARY THAT WAS BUILT HERE AT GISD AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR RUBRIC AND YOU'LL SEE THEIR SCORE COMPARED TO THE CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE GOING TO VISIT FIRST YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
WHAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND WHAT WE'RE LACKING TO IMPROVE FOR OUR STUDENTS AT THE OTHER CAMPUSES? THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU, DR. LOPEZ.
>> GONZALEZ, THIS IS GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT QUESTION PROBABLY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ANSWER OR NOT, BUT IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT TURN FROM WHAT DR. LOPEZ WAS TALKING ABOUT.
MY CONCERN IS LOOKING ON THE PROPOSED WORKOUT IN SUMMARY REPORT, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DOLLARS TO BE SPENT.
WELL, MY QUESTION IS, THE COST OF BUILDING A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TODAY, WHAT WOULD THAT FIGURE BE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME COMPARISON TO WHAT THE REPAIRS NEED BE OR TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL UP TO PAR OF WHAT WE WANT IT COMPARED TO A BRAND NEW SCHOOL?
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE BREAKDOWNS OF PRIORITIES ONES, TWOS AND THREES, AND YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL SCORE OF THE FCI, WE HAVE ONE CAMPUSES, FOR INSTANCE, WALNUT GLENN.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A TOTAL FCI OF, WHERE IS IT? LET ME GO BACK TO IT, 103.
YOU BASICALLY COULD REBUILD THAT SCHOOL FOR THE COST OF BRINGING THAT SCHOOL ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT.
SO BASICALLY, IT'S PRETTY MUCH A TRAIT AND WHEN YOU GET THAT HIGH IN THE FCI IS PRETTY MUCH YOU WANT TO REPLACE THAT SCORE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO THE SCORE OR THE OLD INFRASTRUCTURE.
>> ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT FIRST RED LINE UP THERE WHAT IT WOULD BE TOTAL COST OF $22 MILLION? [OVERLAPPING]
>> IF WE TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT.
>> YES. AS DR. LOPEZ JUST STATED, TO BRING THAT CAMPUS BACK TO WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT, YOU COULD BE LOOKING AT $22 MILLION.
>> WHAT IS THE COST OF, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE OF THE ESCALATING PRICES OF MATERIALS AND THINGS OF A NEW BUILDING.
>> WHAT ME AND JAVIER HAVE BEEN FACING, WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 22 MIL.
I THINK WE'RE LOOKING CLOSE TO, WHAT DO YOU SAY, JAVIER, A $30 MILLION FOR NEW ELEMENTARY.
WOULD YOU COME UP AND SPEAK ON A NEW BUILT?
>> THANK YOU, MR. GONZALEZ. TRUSTEE BEACH, THE COST TODAY THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE MARKET FOR A BRAND NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS RUNNING BETWEEN 30-35.
NOW THAT VARIES BETWEEN DISTRICT TO DISTRICT.
A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SITE AND WHETHER THE SITE IS A GOOD SITE, IS A FLAT SITE TO DO THE WORK.
SOME ARE COMING IN LOWER, SOME BECAUSE OF THE SITE WORK COMES IN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
BUT THAT IS TYPICALLY, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 30-35 FOR A SCHOOL THAT CAN SERVE APPROXIMATELY 7-750 STUDENTS.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT LESS STUDENTS, THEN THE FACILITY IS A LITTLE BIT LESS.
BUT THOSE ARE THE TYPICAL PRICES.
>> GOOD POINT. GO TO WALNUT GLENN.
[NOISE] WHAT'S THE CAPACITY ON WALNUT GLENN IF YOU HAVE YOUR, [NOISE] I HAVE 524. [OVERLAPPING]
>> FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR.
>> SO FOR 22 MILLION, I CAN ONLY STILL HAVE THAT SAME CAPACITY.
BUT FOR 30 MILLION TO 35 MILLION, I COULD BUILD A BIGGER SCHOOL OF 750?
>> THAT'S ADDITIONAL 250 KIDS.
SO [INAUDIBLE] YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE PER SHADE IS ABOUT THE SAME.
WE'RE JUST BUILDING A BIGGER CAMPUS AND MAYBE WE CAN CONSOLIDATE TWO OF THE SMALLER ONES TO DO THAT.
>> NOT TO BELABOR THE ISSUE, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S REALLY KEY TO LOOK AT HERE IS THE NUMBER THAT MR. GONZALEZ SHARED WITH YOU AND IT'S IN YOUR BOOK, THE TOTAL IS 22.2 MILLION.
THAT'S TO DO EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO DO A WALNUT GLENN.
THE UNFORTUNATE THING THERE THOUGH IS IF YOU SPEND THAT TYPE OF DOLLARS, IF YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT FACILITY, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THAT MONEY.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT INVESTMENT RATHER THAN TO REPLACE THAT FACILITY.
WHAT YOU LOSE WHEN YOU DO THAT,
[00:15:01]
AND I'LL JUST SHARE WITH YOU, WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU KEEP A LOT OF THE OLD FACILITIES, A LOT OF THE OLD INFRASTRUCTURE REMAINS.A LOT OF THE FACILITY, THEY'RE STRUCTURAL WALLS THAT CANNOT BE MOVED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE BUILDING WAS BUILT.
WHILE YOU MAY WANT TO CREATE SPECIAL PROGRAMS WITH THAT FACILITY, THAT FACILITY LIMITS YOU BY MAKING A SMALLER AMOUNT OF MORE INVESTMENT.
THE AMOUNT OF RETURN YOU GET FROM THAT BY MAKING A SMALLER ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT IS MUCH GREATER IN YOUR RETURN THAN IF YOU WERE TO SPEND THE 22 JUST TO REPAIR THAT.
WHAT WE LOOK AT IS NOT JUST HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPAIR AND TO MAKE THE FACILITY WORK FOR THE PROGRAM, BUT WE LOOK AT THE RATE OF RETURN THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET FOR THE DOLLARS THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN THAT AND HOW MUCH RETURN ON INVESTMENT ARE WE GOING TO GET FROM YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
A REPLACEMENT OF THAT FACILITY WOULD GET US 50, 60 YEARS OF INVESTMENT WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT SPENDING LESS MONEY, BUT YOU WOULD STILL HAVE THESE ISSUES OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REALLY SUPPORT THE PROGRAMS, NOT TODAY'S PROGRAMS, YOU WILL SUPPORT THOSE BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT VISIONING, CREATING BUILDINGS FOR YOU, FOR THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN CREATED YET, WE HAVEN'T EVEN DECIDED WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE TWO PORTABLE THERE WHICH WE'D LIKE TO SEE REMOVED.
>> THEN YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING, I KNOW THAT PARTICULAR BUILDING WE'VE HAD ISSUES BEFORE WITH TILT WALL THAT WE'VE HAD TO GO IN AND REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE SHIFT OF THE GROUND AND THINGS THERE TOO.
I JUST WANTED TO EVERYBODY ON THIS GOING ON THE TOURS TODAY WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE DOLLAR FIGURES AND YOU LOOK AT THESE BUILDINGS TO ALSO LOOK AT THE TOTAL COST AS WE GO THROUGH THERE WHEN WE LOOK AT CONSOLIDATION OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE IF WE GO DOWN THAT ROAD, THEN AT LEAST WE KNOW OF WHAT THE REPLACEMENT COST WOULD BE SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION. THANK YOU.
>> YEAH, THANK YOU. A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION SO FAR.
THERE'S A NUMBER, LET'S GO TO PAGE 15 FOR WALNUT GLENN RIGHT AT THE TOP THERE IT SAYS, "RANK 72." I THINK I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
>> DO WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT BEFORE?
>> HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE RANK.
>> RIGHT AT THE TOP OF PAGE 15.
IT'S ALSO ON 14 AND MAYBE ON OTHER PAGES OR AT LEAST 14 AND 15.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
>> MR. GLICK, HE ALWAYS COME UP WITH SOME GREAT QUESTIONS.
[LAUGHTER] WHILE WE'RE ON OUR TOUR, I'LL REACH OUT TO PVK AND FIND OUT OR ENGAGE TO LEARN AND FIND OUT.
YOU CAUGHT ME ON THAT ONE. I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'LL GET YOU THE INFORMATION.
>> MR. GLICK, I BELIEVE I CAN ANSWER ON THAT.
IF YOU GO TO DOHERTY ON PAGE 54, THEIR RANK IS THREE AND THE TOTAL OF ALL SCORES, DOHERTY AND THE BEST OF SCORES IS THE THIRD BEST, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.
WHEN WE GO OVER TO THE EXAMPLE YOU JUST GAVE ON PAGE 15, OUT OF ALL OUR FACILITIES, I'D USE THE WORD WORST, BUT ONE OF THE NOT FUNCTIONAL [INAUDIBLE]
>> MY MEMORY IS THAT MEANS IT'S THE LOWEST FCI SCORE OF OUR CAMPUS.
>> THAT'S CORRECT AND IT'S THE RANKINGS. THE OTHER KEY PIECE TO HIGHLIGHT TO HELP WHEN YOU READ THOSE PIE CHARTS ON PAGE 9 AND THE REST OF THE CAMPUSES, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE FCI, THE HIGHER THE SCORE, THE WORSE.
IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLORS AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE LEARN RUBRIC SCORE, THE HIGHER THE SCORE THE BETTER.
THE BEST WAY TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE IS BLUE IN BOTH THOSE CATEGORIES IS WHERE A CAMPUS WANTS TO BE.
IF WE LOOK AT OUR FCI SCORE, YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHER THE SCORE WE GET TOWARDS THE RED, AND THAT IS AREAS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT THE PRIORITY 1, PRIORITY 2 IS GOING TO BE REPLACED.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RUBRIC SCORE, THE HIGHER WE GO, THE BETTER.
IT MEANS IT'S MEETING OUR LEARNING NEEDS.
>> I WILL REMIND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE DISTRICT THAT THEY ASSESSED MORE THAN 72 CAMPUSES, SO WE WILL NOT GO AND IT'S NOT DEAD LAST.
>> NO, THAT IS CORRECT. WHEN NEED TO SEE THE NUMBER 75.
WE HAVE 71 FUNCTIONAL CAMPUSES WITH STUDENTS.
WE HAVE MORE SUPPORT FACILITIES AND AUXILIARY FACILITIES AND STADIUMS, SO WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBER 75, THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS ALSO DEAD LAST EITHER.
>> BUT IF YOU TURN TO 29, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS THE 75TH RANK CAMPUS IN THIS PACKET.
[00:20:02]
AS MR. BEACH WAS REFERRING TO, I THINK WE HAVE TO START MAKING SOME DECISIONS RELATIVELY EARLY ON.ARE WE GOING TO LOOK AT PRIORITIES 1 AND 2 OR ARE WE GOING TO LOOK AT PRIORITIES THAT INCLUDE OUT 10 YEARS? I THINK BOTH NUMBERS ARE IMPORTANT.
I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP TO DATE, BY THE WAY, SINCE JULY OF '22, SO THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE RELATIVELY CURRENT NUMBERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR TOTAL IS RIGHT NOW AND THE LAST REPORT YOU GOT, THAT INCLUDES PRIORITY 3 STUFF THAT'S GOES WAY OUT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLE BILLIONS I'M SURE.
>> [NOISE] THE LAST CONVERSATION I HAD WITH PBK, WITH MR. BRIAN WAS A LITTLE OVER 1.7 BILLION FOR PRIORITIES 1S, 2S AND 3S.
>> RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S NOW WITH INFLATION KICKING IN AND WHENEVER WE DO STUFF AND WHEN THIS STARTS GETTING, SO WE'RE TALKING OVER $2 BILLION WITHOUT IT EASILY?
>> NOW, THE OTHER THING IS, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LIFE CYCLE EDUCATIONAL, WHICH IS THE LOWER NUMBER, THAT'S GOOD.
IF I REMEMBER, THAT'S EDUCATIONAL ADEQUACY.
>> WE WANT THAT NUMBER TO BE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, IF I REMEMBER.
THAT'S THE OTHER THING WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
ALSO THE OTHER THING I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AS WE START LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE FACILITIES, AND YOU HAVE HERE ON PAGE 3, RIGHT BELOW THE PICTURE, IT SAYS CITE ACREAGE.
I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE ALL THE SESSIONS I'VE GONE TO, THERE'S A PREFERRED SIZE FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS, AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THOSE SHOULD BE, DO ALL THE FUNCTIONS WE WOULD LIKE TO BE.
WE'RE GOING TO FIND SOME CAMPUSES ARE WAY UNDER SIZE IN TERMS OF ACREAGE, AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE THINK ABOUT AS WE GO FORWARD.
>> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
WE HAVE SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN SOME SMALL SITES AND DO NOT MEET THE NEEDS.
>> THEN YOU GAVE US A NUMBER, 30-35 MILLION FOR A NEW ELEMENTARY, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT INCLUDE REAL ESTATE IN THAT COST?
>> NO, TYPICALLY, WHEN WE PROVIDE A NUMBER WITHOUT REAL ESTATE, SO THERE'S A REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION COST.
TYPICALLY WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN A BOND PROGRAM AS FAST GROWTH DISTRICTS WILL PASS A BOND THAT HAS FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS AND THEY'LL ALSO PASS A BOND THAT INCLUDES SITE ACQUISITION COST, AND SO YOU'LL HAVE A NUMBER FOR THAT.
>> OUR THREE CS ARE NOT COMPLETELY BUILT OUT, BUT MORE BUILT OUT THAN MOST GROWTH CITIES THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT.
WE HAVE CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND, YOU THAT THAT, BUT SOME OF THOSE SITES ARE VERY SMALL.
THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT MIGHT HOLD SCHOOLS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER COMPONENT.
THE COST OF LAND SOMEWHERE IN OUR THREE CITIES IS PROBABLY VERY EXPENSIVE.
>> YES, SIR. THAT'S PART OF THE WHOLE BOND PLANNING.
IF THE DISTRICT CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A BOND PLANNING COMMITTEE, A STEERING COMMITTEE, THOSE ARE THE DISCUSSION ITEMS BECAUSE THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY DOES HAVE PROPERTY TODAY, WHICH IS GREAT.
THE DISTRICT MADE AN INVESTMENT MANY YEARS AGO, AND SO THERE ARE SITES THAT THE DISTRICT OWNS.
NOW WHETHER THOSE SITES ARE IN THE CORRECT LOCATION BASED UPON OUR GROWTH, WE ANTICIPATED GROWTH 15 YEARS AGO AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY MAY HAVE SOMEWHAT SHIFTED.
WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL THAT AS A COMMITTEE.
BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, SIR, THE SITE IS TYPICALLY ADDED IN A BOND AS A SEPARATE LINE ITEM.
>> SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, MS. HOGAN, ARE WE READY TO RECESS?
WHERE ARE WE GOING TO COME OUT OF RECESS AGAIN, MS. HOGAN?
>> AT WALNUT GLENN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> GREETINGS. WE ARE COMING OUT AT RECESS.
WE'RE AT WALNUT GLENN ACADEMY.
IT IS CURRENTLY 09:31 AM AND THE MEETING IS BACK IN SESSION.
>> WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PROCEED.
[00:25:07]
GUYS WE ARE LIVE.WE RECONVENED AT 09:31, SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE OVER SO WE CAN GET THIS CAMPUS STARTED.
>> WHO WILL BE THE PRIMARY SPEAKER AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS CAMPUS?
>> WE'RE HERE AT AT WALNUT GLENN ELEMENTARY AND WE'RE GOING TO BE WALKING FACILITY.
AS WE GO THROUGH THE HALLWAYS, WERE GOOD TO SEE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WE FOCUS ON A LOT OF THE RESTROOMS. [NOISE] THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS WITH RESTROOMS IN THIS FACILITY, EVERY MEP IN THIS FACILITY.
ALSO THE CAFETERIA, WANT TO FOCUS ON THE CAFETERIA AND THE SIZE OF THE ACTUAL PREP AREA.
WE HAVE REALLY SMALL CAFETERIA IN THIS CAMPUS.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE CONDENSATION.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONDENSATION IN THIS BUILDING BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF OLD PIPING IN THIS FACILITY.
THERE ARE 20 THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AN WITH THESE CONDITIONS SIMILAR.
>> TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION THIS BUILDING IS BEING BUILT.
>> THIS FACILITY'S ON THE TILT WALL SYSTEM, WHICH IS A CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS USED PRIMARILY IN THE '50S AND '60S.
WE DON'T BUILD SCHOOLS PRETTY MUCH WITH TILT WALLS ANYMORE.
A LOT OF THE FOUNDATION ISSUES COME BECAUSE OF THE TILT WALL SYSTEMS. SOME OF THESE RESTAURANTS, I KNOW THAT MS. ALEXANDER WAS HERE ON THE LAST BOND PROGRAM.
[BACKGROUND] ON THE LAST BOND PROGRAM, WE HAD WALLS THAT WERE SEPARATING, WE HAD A LOT OF WALLS THAT WERE FALLING.
IF YOU REMEMBER, MS. ALEXANDER, WE HAD A LOT OF FOUNDATION ISSUES IN THIS CAMPUS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THIS IS OUR PRINCIPAL BY THE WAY.
BUT THERE'S STILL MANY ISSUES STILL WITH FOUNDATIONS AND WALLS.
>> THIS WAS PART OF THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM WHEN THE FLOORING IN THE RESTAURANTS.
>> YES. WE BASICALLY GOT INTO RESTAURANTS, THEY DIDN'T MEET ADA COMPLIANCE, SO THEY NOW MEET ADA COMPLIANCE.
>> [BACKGROUND] GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD TO SEE YOU. WELCOME HOME AGAIN.
>> A COPY CONCEPT IS A BIG [BACKGROUND] [OVERLAPPING]
>> AS WE'VE BEEN FACING A LOT OF ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE STATE WITH SECURITY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS AT THIS CAMPUS IS THIS LIBRARY CANNOT GO INTO LOCKDOWN.
WE HAVE AN OPEN CONCEPT TYPE OF LIBRARY.
I GET A LOT OF REQUESTS FROM CAMPUSES WITH THIS TYPE OF LIBRARY.
WHAT IS THE DISTRICT PLANNING TO DO IN THE FUTURE ON THESE SPACES? THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO TRY TO GET INTO THE CLASSROOM TO GET INTO A LOCKDOWN SITUATION BECAUSE THEY CANNOT LOCKDOWN IN THE LIBRARY.
>> I HAD A CLASS THAT WAS IN THE LIBRARY AT THAT TIME. IT'S CRAP.
>> WELCOME TO OUR OPEN LIBRARY.
>> I GUESS THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
>> THIS MUST BE THE PLACE TO GO RIGHT HERE.
>> I REALLY CRANK UP FOR MONDAY AT THE BREAKFAST. THANK YOU.
>> ANOTHER THING IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CLASSROOMS AT THIS CAMPUS ARE VERY SMALL CLASSROOMS. [BACKGROUND] YES DR. LOPEZ, I WAS SHARING THE OPEN CONCEPT.
>> LIBRARIES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THOSE BECAUSE THEY'RE SCRAMBLING DURING LOCK-DOWN SITUATION.
[BACKGROUND] ANOTHER THING IS THESE CLASSROOMS ARE VERY SMALL, SQUARE FOOTAGE WISE.
[00:30:05]
>> IN THESE CLASSROOMS IS GORDON I WANT TO DO.
>> IT'S OUR PRIORITY ONE YOU CAN SAY IF WE WORK TO KEEP THIS FACILITY INSTEAD OF REBUILD IT OR SO THAT WE CAN WOULD EXPAND.
YOU CAN SEE THE OUTER ON PAGE 8.
YOU CAN SEE THE RED WHERE THERE WOULD BE AN ADDITION ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS TO MAKE THE MAIN ACCORDING, THAT THE WALLS AND HAD TO GO OUT.
>> YOU HAVE TO EXPAND THAT WAY. BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO NECESSARILY.
>> THIS TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION, IS IT BUILT TO LAST? YOU'RE JUST PUTTING A BAND-AID ON SOMETHING, ANYTHING YOU ADD TO THESE TYPE OF TILT WALL SCHOOLS.
>> THAT'S WHERE WE HAD TO REBUILD IT ON THE WALLS LAST. [NOISE]
>> I WOULD IMAGINE IF YOU EXTEND THE CLASSROOM THAT WAY, YOU'RE NOT DOING AN IDEAL SITUATION OF THE TEACHER ENGAGING YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU GOT A LONG CLASSROOM.
>> YOU MAY NOTICE ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS.
THAT WAY WHEN I GOT HERE, HE KNOWS THAT SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE SCHOOL HAD ALWAYS JUST GIVEN FREE REIGN TO THE TEACHERS TO PAINT THEIR ROOMS. SOME TEACHERS ARE VERY GOOD PAINTERS. SOME ARE NOT.
YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT PROBABLY.
BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT WAS.
>> ANOTHER THING IS THIS CAMPUS HAS PORTABLES.
AS WE GO OUT TO THIS DOOR HERE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WE'VE GOT TWO PORTABLES.
>> DO YOU WANT TO SET THE WINDOW FOR ME. [BACKGROUND].
>> THESE ARE IRISH MUSIC CLASSES.
THAT HAPPENED WHEN I CAME SEVEN YEARS AGO.
THE MUSIC CLASS WAS UP IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT I SAID IS IT'S SO LOUD, IT'S SO NOISY, ESPECIALLY ON TESTING DAYS. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THAT? I HAVEN'T MOVED DOWN HERE SEVEN YEARS AGO.
STRINGS HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUT HERE.
I MEAN, THEY'VE PROBABLY AS LONG AS THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN HERE, OUR STRINGS.
THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PORTABLES.
>> JAVIER, CAN YOU TALK REALLY QUICK ABOUT SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS WITH STRINGS AND SO FORTH, WHICH REALLY IDEAL FOR SOMETHING AT THIS CAMPUS.
>> YEAH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO AND ACADEMY THAT HAS TO DO WITH STRINGS, I'LL JUST GIVE YOU SPEAKING TO MR. GLICK EARLIER.
THE LAST ONE PROGRAM THAT I WAS ASSOCIATED WITH, WE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO PRODUCE STRINGS AND EVERY ACOUSTICALLY APPROPRIATE STRING ROOM IN EVERY SINGLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THAT DECISION WAS MADE BECAUSE THEY TOOK BAND OUT OF ELEMENTARY.
THEY MOVED BAND INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THEN CREATED A STRING PROGRAM.
WE THEN BUILT STRINGS ROOMS INSIDE THE FACILITY.
ACOUSTICALLY APPROPRIATE STRING ROOMS, NOT OUTSIDE BUT INSIDE THE FACILITY TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS.
THAT SEEMED TO BE WORKING REALLY WELL.
WE HAD SOME CAMPUSES WHERE WE'RE DOING THAT ON THE STAGE.
THEN ALSO A LOT OF OUR ACADEMY WHERE YOUR MUSIC ROOM HERE IS.
BUT TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE IS A LOT OF MUSIC ROOMS BECAUSE THERE'S NO SPACE.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY PERFORMING MUSIC ON THE STAGE. WE'RE TREATING.
>> THAT'S A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS HERE IN WALNUT ARE DOING THAT.
PRODUCING A ROOM, WHETHER THE DISTRICT CHOOSES TO KEEP BAND HERE OR STRINGS HERE, IT HAS TO BE WITHIN THE FACILITY.
IT WORKS REALLY WELL WHEN YOU HAVE THAT THAT SPACE INSIDE THE BUILDING.
>> I DID FAIL TO MENTION WE HAD THE WALLS TAKEN OUT IN BOTH OF THESE, SO THEY ARE WIDE-OPEN.
IT'S A DOUBLE SPACE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TOO FOR ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT.
>> GOOD POINT. THE EQUIPMENT, I GET CONSTANTLY GET CALLS ABOUT.
THESE ARE NOT VERY CLIMATE CONTROLLED.
WHEN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT STRINGS AND THOSE TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS, THEY NEED TO BE CLIMATE CONTROLLED.
WE LOSE A LOT OF INSTRUMENTS DUE TO THE INADEQUACY OF THE CLIMATE INSIDE OF THE PORTABLE.
IT'S NOT REGULATED. YOU GOT WALL PACKS, BUT IT'S NOT INSULATED AND REGULATED LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
>> THEY USED TO STORE THEIR EQUIVALENT HERE IS THAT THOSE ROOMS?
>> I WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE WE WENT THERE.
>> I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR SEVEN YEARS FOR A FENCE.
[00:35:02]
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY.THE LAST WEEK I WORKED IN GYM, NOT SHOWING ANY TEACHER AROUND THE CAMPUS.
BUT LIKE OTHER THAN ALL WAY, NOTICE TWO TEENAGERS RIGHT HERE.
I OPENED THE DOOR AND THEN BACK TO ME.
I OPENED THE DOOR AND SAID," HEY, GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE." WELL, WHEN I DID, HE TURNED AROUND, HE HAD A HATCHET, I SAID IT WAS AN AX, MIGHT BE CORRECT FOR THE HATCHET.
HE TURNED AROUND, HE HAD IT IN HIS HAND AND HE HELD IT UP LIKE THIS TOWARDS ME.
THAT WAS CALLED IN. I MEAN, I'M SORRY, I WAS AWARE OF IT.
>> I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OVER THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, MULTIPLE CALLS OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE FENCE LINE AND PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THE HOMELESS, COMING OUT OF THE CREEK OVER THERE COME TO THE FENCER LINE.
>> WE HAVE, JUST TO GIVE YOU THE SURROUNDINGS, IN ADDITION TO THE GOVERNMENT APARTMENTS, WE HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL PARK.
PEOPLE COME AND GO, MEN WORKING ALL DAY LONG.
WE HAVE HOMELESS NEAR THE APARTMENT DOOR THAT GRAFFITI THE LITTLE AREA UP THERE.
FREQUENTLY JOEL HAS TO CALL IT AND HAVE THAT CLEANED UP.
WE HAVE PERIMETER MENTAL HOSPITAL AT THE END OF THE STREET, AND WE DEAL WITH SOME OF THEIR PATIENTS COUPLE OF TIMES.
SO WE'RE NOT IN THE RIGHT AREA.
>> THIS IS NOT A GOOD LOCATION AT ALL.
>> THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT'S OUT HERE.
HOW LONG DOES THIS PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT BEEN OUT HERE?
>> NO. YOU HAVE TO GET IT WHEN I CAN'T.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. ABOUT NINE YEARS AGO.
>> WHEN I CAME TO THIS CAMPUS, THEIR PLAYGROUND WITH THE SMALL AREA IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING ON THE CONCRETE.
THE FIRST TIME I CAME OVER HERE,WHEN I GOT HOME, I THOUGHT,"LET ME SEE THE PLAYGROUND," THEN I GOT BACK SEE THE PLAYGROUND.
WHEN I CAME BACK, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO PLAYGROUNDS I WAS CALLING HIM AND DR. MORRISON AND IT TOOK US A WHILE, BUT WE FINALLY GOT THIS OUT HERE.
>> QUICK QUESTION FOR PLAYGROUNDS.
LINNET, DO YOU HAVE A PLAYGROUND FOR YOUR EARLY LEARNERS?
>> THERE'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE TWO PLAYGROUNDS WITHIN EVERY FACILITY.
>>FOR SPECIAL NEEDS.SPECIAL NEEDS PLAYGROUND.
>> THAT'S REALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATIONAL LEARNING MODEL.
IT'S JUST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU HAVE PLAYGROUND, YOU'RE GOOD.
THE PLAYGROUND HAS TO BE APPROPRIATE TO THE LEARNING THAT'S INVOLVED IN THAT.
WE SEE THAT A LOT HERE IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE DO NOT HAVE THE SEPARATION PLACEMENTS.
WE HAVE A PLAYGROUND AND EVERYBODY THINKS WE'RE GOOD.
>> COULD I ADD ALSO BECAUSE THE CHANCES ARE SO LOW.
MANY TIMES YOU HAVE OUTSIDERS WHO COME ON THE PLAYGROUND AND KIDS HAVE TO BE CONFINED WITH CONDOMS AND THINGS LIKE THESE.
>> JUST THIS MORNING THEY ARREST THE GUY RUN AROUND THE PARK.
I WAS SHOCKED AT IT. JUSTICE MARK.
>> WE DIDN'T HAVE HOW MANY LOCKDOWNS LAST YEAR DUE TO GUNSHOTS BEEN HEARD?
>> CYBER SECURE, THE GUY WITH THE AX.
THE FIRST GUY WITH THE AX, NOT THE GUY YOU SAW. [OVERLAPPING]
>> NOT THE HATCHET MAN, THE AX MAN. WAS THAT BOTH?
>> [OVERLAPPING] YES, SIR. [INAUDIBLE] ALL DAY.
>> WE NEEDED AN OFFICE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND I VOLUNTEERED.
I SAID, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT HERE ALL THE TIME, BUT JUST YOUR VOICE FAR UPFRONT TO ME IS A DETERRENT WHEN YOU ARE HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO VERY QUICKLY, WE FOUND HIM A PATH AND THAT WAS HARD TO DO ON THIS CAMPUS.
LET'S GO TOWARDS THE CAFETERIA. [NOISE].
>> PRETTY GOOD. TRYING TO GET UNCLAWED.
>> TRYING TO GET THINGS NEATLY DONE.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TOWARDS THE CAFETERIA.[NOISE]
>> [BACKGROUND] THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> WELL, PRETTY MUCH IT. THE BUILDING,
[00:40:02]
WHAT WE SAW IS BASICALLY MIRRORED ALL THE WAY AROUND.I WANT TO LOOK AT, I WANT TO SHOW YOU, I WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME IN THE CAFETERIA AND THE STAGE AREA.
AGAIN, THIS IS AN ACADEMY FOR ART STRINGS UP AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE THERE FOR PERFORMING, THEIR STAGE, THE CAFETERIA, AND THEN THE PREP AREA, IT'S TOO SMALL.
WE CAN GO BACK AROUND, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE FOCUS ON THIS BECAUSE [NOISE] I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE AT THIS CAMPUS TO STAY ON SCHEDULE.
[NOISE] YEAH, LET'S GO TO THE LIBRARY FIRST.
>> [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER] SIR, [INAUDIBLE]
>> I DON'T KNOW, SIR. [BACKGROUND]
>> I'M GOING TO THE [INAUDIBLE] TO SEE IF HE'S DOWN HERE.
[BACKGROUND] SOME OF THE NOTES HE MADE WHEN HE MET WITH ENGAGED TO LEARN.
THE PRINCIPLE LIKED FLEXIBLE FURNITURE.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS COMMENTED WHEN WE DID THE ED ADEQUACY AT THIS CAMPUS, SOME OF THE FEEDBACK FROM THE PRINCIPAL WAS SHE NEEDED MORE FLEXIBLE FURNITURE.
SHE SAID SHE JUST PURCHASED THIS FURNITURE.
>> WE JUST BOUGHT THAT LAST YEAR.
SO THIS CAMPUS, AND THAT'S JUST ONE AREA OF MULTIPLE AREAS THAT FURNITURE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AT THIS CAMPUS.
STORAGE, AND THEN ALSO THE WAY THE BOOKSHELVES ARE STORED, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WORKING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
[BACKGROUND] SHE WAS AT A VERY NICE NEW CAMPUS PRIOR TO COMING HERE WHERE SHE ATTENDS A STORE.
RIGHT NOW, SHE HAS THESE TWO SMALL CLOSETS AND THAT'S HER STORAGE.
SHELVING, REBECCA, IS IT ADEQUATE? WHAT WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT?
>> IT'S BROKEN DOWN. A LOT OF IT IS FALLING.
MY LOWER SHELVES HERE ARE BEING HELD TOGETHER BY THE WALLS OF THE SHELVES THEMSELVES, BUT WE'RE MAKING DO, WE ARE.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE CAFETERIA.
I WANT TO LOOK AT THE CAFETERIA AND THE PREPS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S RELEVANT OR NOT.
>> NOT LIKE WE DID. NOW WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE. [BACKGROUND]
>> HELLO, HOW ARE YOU? [BACKGROUND]
>> [OVERLAPPING] CERTAIN LEARNING SPACE THAT YOU MUST ACCOMMODATE THE STUDENT.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT FROM THE DISTRICT IS YEARS AGO, WE WANTED COMPUTER LABS.
NOW THAT WE HAVE THE ONE-TO-ONE DEVICES, I SEE A LOT OF CAMPUSES [NOISE] WITH THIS SITUATION THAT THE COMPUTER LABS ARE NOT BEING UTILIZED THE WAY THEY WERE FIVE YEARS AGO.
SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TECHNOLOGY AND AS WE IMPROVE THESE FACILITIES, BECAUSE THESE SPACES CAN BE USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
>> ARE YOU MANDATED TO HAVE TO HAVE A COMPUTER LAB?
PRE-COVID, THEY WERE VERY NECESSARY.
WE DID ALL OUR TESTING IN HERE.
[BACKGROUND] THEN COVID CAME ALONG AND WE ALL GOT DEVICES, AND NOW IT'S KIND OF OBSOLETE.
I MEAN, KIDS WILL COME IN HERE TO DO RESEARCH OCCASIONALLY.
WE DO A LITTLE BIT OF TESTING IN HERE OCCASIONALLY.
BUT FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY, IT'S REALLY NOT BEING UTILIZED AND THAT'S JUST HAPPENED, I MEAN, LITERALLY IN THE LAST YEAR.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID FIND OUT FROM, AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR TECHNOLOGY, THE DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, BUT AT ONE POINT, WE WERE REMOVING COMPUTER LABS FROM A FACILITIES STANDPOINT THROUGHOUT THE STATE, NOT ONLY THE GARLAND ISD, BUT MY LAST PRIOR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE WERE REMOVING COMPUTER LABS.
IT WAS CALLED TO OUR ATTENTION THAT BECAUSE OF TEA'S REQUIREMENT THAT TESTING BE DONE THROUGH A CONNECTED DEVICE.
[00:45:02]
THE DEVICE COULD NOT BE WIRELESS, IT HAD TO BE CONNECTED.MOST SCHOOLS KEPT AT LEAST ONE COMPUTER LAB FOR THE TYPES OF STANDARDIZED TESTING BECAUSE OF THE STATE REQUIREMENT.
THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE CONNECTED TO AN ETHERNET PORT.
THEY DID NOT WANT IT TO BE WIRELESS.
I DON'T KNOW IF TEA'S IS CHANGED THAT, BUT THAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT.
>> WE DID STORE OUR DEVICES IN CLASSROOMS LAST YEAR, SO YEAH.
>> WE STILL NEED TO HAVE LABS BECAUSE WE HAVE TESTING NOW.
>> YEAH, WE CAN'T RELY ON WIRELESS FOR TESTING. THAT WILL WON'T DOWN.
WHEN WE BUILD OUR LABS, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF TESTING TO MAKE SURE WE CAN HAVE AS MANY KIDS AS POSSIBLE DOING IT ON THEIR OWN HOME.
CHROMEBOOKS ISN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH SECURITY OR ANYTHING.
ALL THE TESTING IS MOVING ONLINE.
>> DID THEY DO INGENUITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT THIS LEVEL OR AT ELEMENTARY LEVEL?
>> DR. GRAM, WHAT TESTS CAN WE ACTUALLY DO?
>> WE DID TAIL PAST HERE [OVERLAPPING] BUT START WE DID IN THE CLASSROOM WITH ALL OUR DEVICES [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOUR DEVICES WORKED WITH IT? KEVIN, ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT?
>> WHATEVER, I PROBABLY HAD IT WAS DISTRICT-WIDE BUT IT WAS FIXABLE, AND KIDS WERE GOOD.
>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE PREFER LABS BECAUSE IT'S HARD WIRE.
>> HAVING THE DEVICES PREVENTS US FROM HAVING TO HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT DAYS OF TESTING.
WE CAN TRY TO GET THEM DONE QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY, EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY HAVEN'T GOT [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE CAPACITY IN HERE IS WHAT, 60?
>> IN THIS ROOM? THIRTY IN HERE AND 30 IN THE OTHER ROOM.
>> THERE IS MORE OTHER ROOM HERE.
>> YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. I MEAN, PART OF THE ENVISIONING WHEN WE REBUILD IS HOW WE USE THESE FACILITIES, BUT THEY AREN'T USED DIFFERENCE EVEN LIBRARIES FOR SECONDARY THEY'RE NOT USED LIKE ELEMENTARY.
MEDIA CENTERS, [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHAT I CAN CALL THEM, MEDIA CENTERS.
>> BUT IF YOU GUYS GIVE US THE REAL FEEDBACK BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PRINCIPLES SAID WE WANT IT HARD WIRED AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
>> THE DEVICE IS ANOTHER PERSONAL DEVICE?
>> I WAS SKEPTICAL, BUT IT DIDN'T GO OFF WITHOUT A HITCH, THIS YEAR. IT'S FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE IT.
>> I WOULD EXPECT THAT WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IN THIS INDUSTRIAL, BUT LIKE MY OWN HOME, I WOULDN'T HAVE DIFFICULTY WITHOUT THE BOOSTERS THAT I HAVE TO INSTALL.
SO YOUR INTERNET IS REALLY, I THINK REAGAN KIND OF PROMISES THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET GOOD INTERNET THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CAROLINA.
>> THIS SUMMER, WE HAD NEW INSTALLATIONS.
>> YEAH. WE'RE SPREADING OUR WIRELESS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
THAT'S PART OF THE SR PACKAGE THAT WE SPENT, LIKE $10 MILLION OF UPGRADING OUR WIRELESS, WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM?
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE WI-FI DEVICES, THE HUB OR WHATEVER IT IS, SO EVERYTHING'S MOVING ONLINE NOW.
>> THE OTHER THING THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IS THE LIGHTING IN THESE BUILDINGS.
WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO LED LIGHTING THAT HELPS STUDENTS BE ABLE TO READ THE MATERIALS THAT THEY'RE DOING.
>> HE JUST INHERITED THIS ONE THIS SUMMER.
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PUT THAT, OUR COURTNEY HAD IT OUT.
WE HAVE SOME CLASSROOMS THAT THE TEACHERS, THEY THINK THIS IS SOFTER LIGHTING?
BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE LIGHTS, SOME ARE TOO BRIGHT, SOME ARE TOO LOW.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF WINDOW LIGHTING, OUTSIDE LIGHTING.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WAS REALLY BIG WITH TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS AS WE GET THIS ASSESSMENT, WAS THE LIGHTING IN THE CLASSROOMS.
>> BUT AS WE DO THE VISIONING AND WE GO THROUGH MORE TESTING ONLINE, WE'LL GET MORE FEEDBACK ON WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO.
>> SAFETY AND SECURITY STANDPOINT, DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM IN YOUR DOORS INSIDE AND OUT LOCKING YOUR LATCHING LIKE THEY SHOULD?
>> EVEN LOOK AT THE WORK ORDERS FROM THE SPRING, WE JUST GOT JUST A DAY OR TWO AGO, A DOOR WAS OPEN AND WE WENT TO CHECK IT AND IT WAS SHUT TIGHT.
I THINK SOMETIMES [NOISE] WE'RE GETTING FAULTY.
THAT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ACTUALLY.
BUT YES, SOMETIMES I'VE TRAIN THE TEACHERS TO DO THAT EXTRA POLE AND TO TELL THEIR KIDS, BUT THAT IS.
BUT YEAH, WE DO ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THAT EXTRA TIME.
>> THE ANSWER WAS BECAUSE ESPECIALLY THE STRINGS WHERE THEY ARE ON THE POLES IN THAT FENCE.
ARE THOSE DOORS LATCHING, ARE THEY LEFT UNLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE CHAIN?
>> THEY ARE LOCKED UP. [OVERLAPPING] I DON'T KNOW WHERE ON MY SRR WENT.
[OVERLAPPING] HE'S VERY GOOD WHEN HE'S HERE ABOUT CHECKING ALL THE DOORS CONSTANTLY, EVEN BEFORE [OVERLAPPING]
>> IS THERE A CERTAIN SET TIME OF DAY THAT HE'S HERE OR HE'S?
[00:50:04]
>> I KNOW. BUT, IF THERE'S GUARANTEED TIME THAT HE'S GOING TO BE HERE OR DO YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE HIM?
>> IT GETS PULLED. THEY'RE SHORTHANDED AND I THINK RIGHT NOW, SO HE HAD ALREADY ALERTED US THAT HE'S GOING TO BE CALLED QUITE A BIT THIS YEAR FOR OTHER THINGS.
I'M SHORTHANDED RIGHT NOW, I THINK SO.
>> THANK YOU GLEN, [LAUGHTER]. ALL RIGHT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] LET'S LOOK THE CAFETERIA AND THE STADIUM.
>> [INAUDIBLE] EVEN ONE THE DOOR FIX WAS NOT FIXED [INAUDIBLE] SO WE'VE GOT TO GO [NOISE] [BACKGROUND]
>> THEY START EATING AT 10:30 [NOISE]
>> LET'S GET EVERYBODY IN HERE [BACKGROUND] [NOISE]
>> THANK YOU. THAT WAY SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT?
>> IN THIS AREA, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE PRINCIPAL STRUGGLES WITH IS SCHEDULING LUNCHES.
YOU START LUNCHES AT WHAT TIME?
>> 10:30. WHAT TIME DO YOU FINISH LUNCHES?
>>1:30. THE SIZE OF THE CAFETERIA DOES NOT ALLOW MORE STUDENTS TO HAVE LUNCH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO STAGGER LUNCHES.
THEN THE OTHER THING THE PREP AREA IN THE BACK IS REALLY, REALLY SMALL.
THIS IS ONE OF THE CAFETERIAS THAT FOOTPRINT YEARS AGO WAS OKAY, BUT NOW, FOR A MEAL PREPARATION FOR STUDENT NUTRITION SERVICES, IT DOESN'T MEET THE NEED.
WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR PREP AREA IN THE BACK WHERE THE CAFETERIA'S WORKERS.
ALSO, THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH US WITH ADA.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE MODIFIED THIS STAGE TO HAVE A LIFT.
THAT MECHANICAL SYSTEM IS NOT THE MOST DEPENDABLE.
THERE'S TIMES NOT ONLY AT THIS CAMPUS, IN MULTIPLE CAMPUSES WHERE THE UPKEEP OF THAT MECHANICAL DEVICE, BECAUSE IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR ADA, SO A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN AFTERTHOUGHTS AND WE'VE HAD TO MODIFY.
ALSO THE STAGE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE UTILIZING THE STAGE FOR MULTIPURPOSE STORAGE. BUT WHEN THEY HAVE-
>> ROBOTICS TEAMS HAVE TO PRACTICE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT TABLE'S UP THERE. IT'S NOT USUALLY THERE.
>> BUT IT'S USED FOR MULTIPURPOSE.
>> GOOD. DO I GO TO THE NEXT FACILITY?
>> I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE TEACHER BATHROOM AND WORKROOM IF WE CAN DO THAT?
>> YOU GUYS WANT TO LOOK AT THAT?
>> I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF THE NEW BUILDS OR CHANGES, WOULD IT BE A RAMP THAT WE ARE DOING WITH ALL OF US?
>> IT WILL BE DESIGNED WITH THE RAMP.
YEAH. IT WOULD BE WITH THE RAMP, NOT A MECHANICAL LIFT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ADA REQUIREMENTS YEARS AGO, NOW, WE DO [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] [BACKGROUND]
>> OH MY GOD [NOISE] [BACKGROUND]
>> WE'VE GOT TO MOVE [NOISE] [BACKGROUND]
>> [BACKGROUND] THOSE ARE PRETTY NEW THAN THOSE.
[00:55:03]
>> BUT THIS ONE'S THE ORIGINAL, RIGHT?
>> IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE RESTROOMS?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THIS IS THE TEACHER REST ROOM.
IT'S ABOUT THIS BIG AND IT'S VERY SMALL [OVERLAPPING] OLD AND OUTDATED.
[OVERLAPPING] IT'S NOT TO [OVERLAPPING] UP TO THE ADA STANDARDS.
MY TEACHERS GO TO TRAININGS IN OTHER CAMPUSES AND TRADITIONALLY, THE TRAININGS ARE USUALLY AT THE NEW CAMPUSES AND THEN THEY COME BACK HERE AND IT'S JUST THE MORALE. IT'S JUST.
>> I AGREE. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THIS.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU SHOWING US AROUND.
>> [NOISE] GUYS GOT IT. WE GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT ONE.
>> [LAUGHTER] IT IS 10:02 AM [OVERLAPPING] AND WE'RE CONCLUDING OUR TOUR AT WALNUT GLENN ACADEMY, AND WE WILL BE IN RECESS FROM THIS POINT UNTIL WE REACH HILLSIDE ACADEMY.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IT IS 10:23 AM AND WE ARE COMING OUT OF RECESS, AND WE ARE AT HILLSIDE ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE.
>> THE OTHER THING THAT I POINTED WHEN [NOISE] WE WERE OUT THERE IS THAT THERE IS A CIRCLE THERE.
TWENTY-FIVE BUSES MAKE THAT CIRCLE, ONE WAY IN, ONE WAY OUT, AND SO IT CAUSES A LOT OF JUST GRIDLOCK BECAUSE ALL THOSE BUSES ARE TRYING TO COME IN AT ONE ENTRANCE TO GO OUT THE SAME ENTRANCE.
I'VE GOT PARENTS IN THIS CAR LINE TRYING TO GET KIDS IN THE CAR.
WE WILL LITERALLY HAVE A PARKING LOT FULL OF KIDS LOADED IN THEIR CAR.
NOBODY CAN GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE THE BUSES ARE TRYING TO GET OUT AND THEN EVERYBODY IS STUCK AT THIS LIGHT ON MILLER WHILE WATSON IS JUST DOWN THE STREET.
YOU'VE GOT THESE TWO SCHOOLS IS JUST GRIDLOCKED ON THERE UNTIL ABOUT 4:00 O'CLOCK.
[BACKGROUND] WHAT WE THOUGHT WOULD HELP US AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ASSIST WITH THAT, IS IF TAKE THE BUSES TO JUST GO OUT ON MILLER AND MAKE A ROUND ON MILLER INSTEAD OF EVERYBODY TRYING TO MAKE THAT CIRCLE.
>> THANK YOU. YOU'RE FREE TO JOIN US.
PAUL'S GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH IT.
OUT OF ALL OUR CAMPUSES, YOUR CAMPUS FOR WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS RANKED 75TH.
[LAUGHTER] THE HIGHER MEANS LESS WORK, THE LOWER MEANS HOLY MACKEREL.
>> WE'RE HERE TO REALLY LOOK AT IT, PHYSICALLY SEE IT.
>> I WANT TO START OFF REAL QUICK JUST LIKE WE DID AT THE OTHER CAMPUS.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW ADA ISSUES HERE.
FOR INSTANCE, RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE REQUESTS FROM THE CAMPUS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON, MR. FERNANDEZ HAS BEEN OUT HERE SEVERAL TIMES.
WE HAVE NO ADA ACCESS TO THE STAGE.
WE HAVE A STUDENT, TEACHER, PARENT, THERE IS NO ACCESS TO GET ON THE STAGE CURRENTLY.
RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ADA ACCESS.
THAT'S [NOISE] ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE'RE FACING.
>> IS IT ALWAYS THIS TEMPERATURE OR THIS IS NEW?
>> IT'S WARM IN HERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE.
ONE OF THE OTHER CHALLENGES AGAIN, WE HAVE A CAFETORIUM HERE.
NOT A TRUE AUDITORIUM, BUT A CAFETORIUM.
AGAIN, THEY'RE UTILIZING THAT FOR MULTIPURPOSE.
IT'S NOT JUST USED FOR PERFORMANCES, IT'S USED FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.
[BACKGROUND] AGAIN, STORAGE IN HERE AND SO FORTH ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR ISSUES.
THE PREP AREA AT THIS CAMPUS ALSO, VERY SMALL PREP AREA FOR STUDENT NUTRITION SERVICES.
>> ON THAT MAP, YOU CAN SEE THEY WOULD NEED TO EXPAND THE KITCHEN PREP AREA.
WE DIDN'T SEE THE LAST CAMPUS, SO WE'LL SHOW YOU THIS ONE.
>> THE FACILITIES FLOOR IS 116TH.
>> WE'RE DOING A TOUR WITH THE PRINCIPAL ON FACILITIES.
>> OKAY? AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A VERY TIGHT WORK [OVERLAPPING] AREA AND SERVING LINE [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] [NOISE] AGAIN, WE HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE STAGES OF LUNCHES TO GET EVERYBODY PROCESSED TO GET LUNCH.
IT'S JUST A SMALL LITTLE AREA TO WORK IN.
[01:00:01]
GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.>> NOW, IMAGINE 300 BODIES GOING AROUND.
>> HOW OFTEN THE WI-FI GOES DOWN?
>> YOU CAN FEEL HOT AIR COMING IN.
>> YEAH, THAT'S A DAILY OCCURRENCE.
>> OH. IT'S BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN, BUT IT'S STILL NOT REALLY GREAT.
THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF THE BUILDING WHERE YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE IN A CAVE BECAUSE YOU GO OUTSIDE TO TAKE THE CALL.
>> SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.
>> THAT'S COMMON IN THIS AREA.
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT'S A SERVICE ISSUE IN SOME CASES AND NOT OUR WIRING BECAUSE WE HAVE FIBER AND IT'S STILL.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF DEAD SPOTS.
>> DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TESTING?
>> DID YOU HAVE TO MOVE TO SOME HARDWIRED THINGS FOR KIDS TO TEST THEM?
>> DID WE HAVE TO DO WHAT NOW?
>> THE HARD ETHERNET WIRE, LIKE OLD SCHOOL OR?
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW WE RESOLVED THE ISSUES, TO BE FAIR.
I JUST KNOW THAT WE HAD SOME TIMES WHERE WE HAD TO STOP THEM AND THEN GET STARTED AGAIN ONCE WE FIXED OUR PROBLEM.
>> ALL THE WI-FI SWITCHES WERE REPLACED IN THE SUMMER.
THEY [OVERLAPPING] WERE A DECADE OLD. THEY WEREN'T SUPPORTED.
>> YEAH, WE'RE TAKING MATH THIS MONTH, SO [LAUGHTER] [NOISE] WE'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
>> AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR PRIORITIES, ONES AND TWOS, YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF MECHANICAL.
AS WE KNOW, WE FOUND OUT THAT WE HAD SOME AIR CONDITIONING ISSUES.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS FACILITY IS REALLY OLD. THE PIPING.
ELECTRICAL UPGRADES NEED TO HAPPEN.
WE HAVE BUILDING ENVELOPE ISSUES.
WE'VE GOT WINDOWS. FOR INSTANCE, THESE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
I BELIEVE SOME OF THE WINDOWS AND SOME OF THE AREAS STILL NEED UPGRADING.
YOUR DOORS, HOLLOW METAL DOORS.
THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE BUILDING ENVELOPE.
>> THIS BUILDING APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME FOOTPRINT AS WALNUT GLENN.
>> YES, BASICALLY [OVERLAPPING]
>> IT'S TILL WALL. PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CONSTRUCTION.
>> THESE WERE ALL OPEN CONCERTS, THE CIRCLE THAT YOU SEE THERE.
ALL THESE CAMPUSES, THESE WERE ALL OPEN CONCERTS.
THE WALLS THAT YOU SEE THAT SEPARATE THE CLASSROOMS, THAT WAS DONE AFTER THE BUILDING WAS BUILT.
>> BECAUSE THEY WERE HALF WALLS BEFORE, RIGHT?
>> YES. IT WAS AN OPEN CONCERT.
>> PRETTY MUCH ALMOST THE SAME FOOTPRINT AS THE OTHER CAMPUS WE WENT TO.
A LOT OF THEM DON'T MEET THE COMPLIANCE OF ADA AND THEN JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS PRETTY MUCH LIVED OUT ITS LIFE CYCLE.
IF YOU NOTICE, THIS IS 116 PERCENT FCI.
THAT MEANS IT'S NOT MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS.
>> WHY DON'T WE LOOK AT SOME OF THE ACREAGE HERE? THIS IS DIFFERENT.
>> LET'S GO LOOK AT THE PORTABLE, YES.
>> YEAH. BECAUSE THIS HAS ACREAGE COMPARED TO THE OTHER SCHOOL WE LOOKED AT.
>> IF YOU GO THIS WAY, YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE ACREAGE.
>> YOU HAVE ABOUT FOUR PORTABLES?
>> [OVERLAPPING] WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN THOSE PORTABLES?
>> WE HAVE ORCHESTRA, ENRICHED MUSIC, AND THIRD GRADE.
>> LET US ALL FILE OUT AND THEN GIVE THIS A SPEED.
[01:05:22]
>> [NOISE] THIS IS ONE OF THE CAMPUSES THAT [NOISE] IT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY IF WE BUILD A NEW CAMPUS THAT [INAUDIBLE] ON THE CURRENT PROPERTY, WHILE THIS CAMPUS COULD BE PARTIALLY OPEN OR ALL OPEN ON-SITE.
>> I ALSO WANT THE BOARD TO BE AWARE, PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS WE GET IS FROM HILLSIDE PARKING.
FROM TEACHERS WHO WENT OVER IT, FROM BUSES TO EVERYTHING.
WE COULD SEE HOW THERE'S ACREAGE TO EVEN FIX THAT ISSUE IF WE REALLY NEEDED TO.
OF COURSE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE AGE OF THE BUILDING AND WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS AREA IS, WHAT PAUL WAS SAYING IS IF WE EVER DECIDED TO BUILD SOMETHING, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RELOCATE EVERYBODY, WE COULD DO IT IN PHASES.
THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A CERTAIN AREA, BUT THEN WE PHASE IT IN AND THEN WHEN THAT'S BUILT, THEN YOU BRING THE KIDS OVER THERE.
[NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THAT ACREAGE THAT WE GOT.
WHEN WE GO SEE [INAUDIBLE] HOLDS 700 KIDS ON FIVE ACRES.
THIS IS DOUBLE THE ACREAGE, THIS IS 10 ACRES.
>> RIGHT. [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER].
>> [NOISE] YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME [INAUDIBLE] DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE OF THE UNLEVEL OF THE PROPERTIES, THERE HAD TO BE SOME EARTHWORK DONE HERE.
>> BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS SITE FOR US TO [INAUDIBLE]. [NOISE]
>> BECAUSE THIS IS SO UP AND THE PARKING LOT IS SO SMALL, THAT AUTOMATICALLY YOU THINK.
>> WHAT STOPS YOUR BUSES FROM EXITING ON MILLER? THERE'S JUST NO PLACE TO [INAUDIBLE].
>> SO YOU JUST DON'T HAVE TO PAY [INAUDIBLE]?
>> IT'S JUST ANOTHER FIELD [LAUGHTER] THAT'S BACK THERE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] EVER ENCOUNTERED ANY ISSUES WITH THE FENCING? [INAUDIBLE].
>> IT IS, BUT WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE KIDS THAT'S REALLY GETTING BACK THERE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS THAT THERE'S AN ENCAMPENT.
PEOPLE SET UP THEIR ENCAMPMENT ON THAT OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE OVER THERE.
USUALLY, WHEN WE KNOW THEY'RE THERE, WE'LL CALL SECURITY.
THEY'LL RUN THEM OFF. BUT THEY DO SET UP THEIR ENCAMPMENTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, DOWN THERE.
>> DO THEY COME ACROSS WHEN THAT HAPPENS?
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE COME WHEN WE'RE NOT HERE, BUT NO, THEY DON'T COME WHEN THEY'RE HERE, BUT I JUST KNOW THEY'RE THERE BECAUSE I'LL SEE THEM.
THEY'RE NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE FENCE WHILE WE'RE HERE.
BUT WHEN I SEE THEM, I JUST GO AHEAD AND CALL.
BECAUSE THE KIDS PLAY SOCCER IN THAT FIELD A LOT SO WE KNOW THEY'RE OVER THERE.
>> THERE ARE THE PORTABLES THAT YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT. THERE'S FOUR OF THEM.
>> THOSE PORTABLES, THE AIR CONDITIONING IS PRETTY MUCH [OVERLAPPING] A DISLODGED CYCLE.
THE MAINTENANCE STAFF SPENDS QUITE A FEW HOURS PATCHING UP THE UNDERPINNING AND TRYING TO MAKE REPAIRS.
BUT THOSE BUILDINGS WERE INTENDED TO BE HERE FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR DECADES.
PORTABLES HAVE BEEN IN CAMPUSES FOR DECADES AND THOSE ARE TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS.
[BACKGROUND] BUT IN LARGER URBAN DISTRICTS, I KNOW FROM FORMER EXPERIENCE FROM OTHER DISTRICTS, URBAN DISTRICTS USE PORTABLES AND THEY TURN IN TO BE PERMANENT.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO REALLY LOOK AT.
[01:10:01]
DOING AWAY WITH PORTABLES, POSSIBLE THROUGH A BOND PROGRAM.[BACKGROUND] WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEEDS IN THE GYM ALSO?
>> YES. BUT WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GYM AS WE DO OTHER CORE CONTENT AREAS.
>> [NOISE] A LOT OF THE ISSUES [INAUDIBLE] EVERYTHING BEHIND THE WALLS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE [INAUDIBLE].
>> NOW THE GYM, WE HAVE A LOT OF LEAKING AND STUFF THAT GOES ON.
>> FROM THE ROOFING OR FROM THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S FROM, BUT I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE IT LEAKS.
>> I BELIEVE IT'S COMING FROM THE FOUNDATION.
[NOISE] [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> WE JUST PUT THESE SOUND BARRIERS UP. HOPEFULLY, THAT'LL HELP.
>> TO TRY TO QUIET IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT?
>> YEAH, FOR OUR KIDDOS WITH DISABILITIES AND ALL.
IT GETS TO BE TOO MUCH, THE NOISE AND EVERYTHING.
WE'RE HOPING THAT THOSE SOUND BARRIERS THAT WE JUST PUT UP WILL HELP THEM.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE, MR. JOHNSON, THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY ACOUSTICS IN THIS GYM, SO THEY'VE TRIED TO PUT SOME BAFFLING UP THERE TO HELP WITH THE ACOUSTIC, BUT REALLY, A LOT OF THE ACOUSTICS IN THE GYMS ARE.
>> THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SUITABLE GYM FLOORING?
>> NO, IT'S NOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SPORTS COURT WITH THE CUSHION BACK.
>> THAT WOULD HELP WITH SOME OF THE NOISE TOO?
>> YES, THAT WOULD HELP WITH SOME OF THE NOISE.
>> YOU CAN BOUNCE A BASKETBALL IN HERE.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE ELEMENTARIES THAT HAS A VCT FLOORING AND WE NEED TO GO TO A SPORTS COURT.
>> WELL, YEAH. I DON'T THINK IT'S REGULATIONS SIZE.
>> YEAH. THIS IS A GOOD CANDIDATE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FLOORING.
[BACKGROUND] THIS IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR SPORTS FLOORING, WHICH IS A BETTER FLOORING AND IT'S VCT.
THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE KIDS, FOR THEIR KNEES AND ANKLES AND STUFF SO WE NEED TO MAYBE LOOK AT UPGRADING THE FLOORING IN HERE.
THEN THE SOUNDPROOFING, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'VE DONE THEIR OWN LITTLE SOUNDPROOFING TO TRY TO HELP WITH THE ACOUSTICS.
>> WELL, THAT'S GOOD THEN. [BACKGROUND]
>> LET'S PUT OUR TRASH CANS OUT WHEN WE KNOW [BACKGROUND] THERE'S NO MUSIC IN THERE.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THESE SOUND BARRIERS BECAUSE THESE ARE NEW.
I'M HOPING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HELP BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES OUR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THEY HAVE A HARD TIME IN HERE BECAUSE IT JUST GETS TOO LOUD, IT GETS TO BE TOO MUCH.
WE WROTE A GRANT SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE SOUND BARRIERS.
HOPEFULLY, THAT IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL FOR THEM.
>> THIS IS THE GARLAND EDUCATION FOUNDATION GRANT?
WE WRITE A LOT OF GRANTS, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THIS ONE IS GEF OR NOT, BUT THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE FUNDING FOR THAT, THAT WAS GRANT FUNDING. [BACKGROUND]
>> I WANT TO GIVE YOU A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHEN WE WERE OUTSIDE YOU SAW THE BROKEN WALKWAYS.
JAVIER WAS QUICK TO POINT OUT THAT THAT DOESN'T MEET CODE BECAUSE THAT SHOULD BE REBAR IN THAT SIDEWALK.
WE CAN'T BUILD IT LIKE A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AND JUST LAY A SLAB REAL QUICK TO PUT OUR GRILL ON.
SO REALIZE THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN GENERATIONALLY, IT WAS ACCEPTED, WE CAN'T FOLLOW THOSE CODES.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR WHAT? REMEMBER, WE NEED CIVIL ENGINEERING.
[01:15:01]
WE NEED ALL OF THOSE THINGS, EVEN FOR A PLAYGROUND.NO ONE CAN GO TO SAM'S, BUY A PLAYGROUND AND PUT IT IN THE BACK.
IT HAS TO BE CIVIL-ENGINEERED.
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT GOES INVOLVED.
IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS I WANT YOU TO NOTICE.
YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB HERE, KEEPING KIDS SAFE.
I THINK DR. PALMER JUST DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB ALWAYS AN A, AND WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE AGAIN.
>> WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WERE TELLING THEM THAT WE MAY HAVE MISSED?
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE EFFECT THAT THESE BARRIERS ARE GOING TO HAVE.
BECAUSE THIS WAS A HARD LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR A STUDENT WHO HAD SENSORY ISSUES OR ANYTHING ELSE, JUST BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THIS.
>> AS A PARENT OF A CHILD WITH SENSORY ISSUES, I CAN SEE MY SON HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN THIS ROOM.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING.
>> ALL RIGHT. ARE WE READY TO GO TO CENTERVILLE?
>> IT IS CURRENTLY 10:43 AND WE'RE GOING BACK INTO RECESS UNTIL WE CONVENE AT CENTERVILLE ELEMENTARY.
[MUSIC] IT IS 10:51 AM AND WE'RE COMING BACK FROM RECESS AND WE ARE NOW AT CENTERVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
>> AGAIN, HERE AT THIS CAMPUS WE'RE AT A 94 PERCENT FCI.
[NOISE] AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT THIS CAMPUS AGAIN, THE FOOD SERVICE AREA IS ANOTHER AREA OF NEED, ONE OF THE LARGEST PART OF PRIORITY 2S.
>> HAVE YOU LOOKED IN HERE? [BACKGROUND] [NOISE]
>> DOES CENTERVILLE AND WILLIAMS HAVE THE SAME FOOTPRINT?
>> DR. LOPEZ ASKED DOES CENTERVILLE AND WILLIAMS ELEMENTARY HAVE THE SAME FOOTPRINT?
YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, WE HAVE A MECHANICAL SYSTEM TO ACCESS ADA ON THE STAGE.
MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS GO ON ON THE STAGE.
[NOISE] THERE WAS, ON THE LAST ONE PROGRAM, THEY DID DO SOME NEW FLOORING IN HERE.
THEY'VE MADE SOME UPGRADES, THEY PUT IN SOME NEW WINDOWS TO GET SOME BETTER LIGHTING IN HERE.
BUT AGAIN, IF YOU GO BACK IN THE PREP AREA BACK THERE WITH [NOISE] AS THE OTHER CAMPUS, REALLY SMALL, REALLY OUTDATED CAFETERIA AREA.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FOCAL POINTS OF THIS ONE, OF THIS PARTICULAR CAMPUS WHEN IT COMES TO THE HIGH FCI, THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GET THIS UPGRADED.
[NOISE] LET'S GO AHEAD AND WALK TO CAMPUS A LITTLE BIT.
>> SHOULD THE PRINCIPAL JOIN US ON THIS ONE?
>> [INAUDIBLE] I THOUGHT. [BACKGROUND]
>> I'M GOOD. GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. [INAUDIBLE] NICE TO SEE YOU. HI.
>> WE'RE WALKING IN YOUR FACILITY RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NEEDS OF YOUR CAMPUS.
IS THERE ANYTHING, IN PARTICULAR, YOU WANT US TO LOOK AT THAT YOU'VE BEEN WANTING US TO ADDRESS?
>> I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CONCERNS.
WHEN THEY DID THE BOND, THEY TOOK DOWN ALL MY BLINDS [NOISE] AND DIDN'T REPLACE THEM SO ALL MY OUTSIDE WINDOWS ARE JUST OPEN.
IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE, WHICH NORMALLY EVERY YEAR WE HAVE AT LEAST SOMETHING BECAUSE OF ALL THE BUSINESSES.
THOSE KIDS ARE IN THERE AND THERE'S NO BLINDS.
THERE'S NO WAY TO DO A LOCKDOWN.
>> YEAH. I'VE GOT ONE BATHROOM, LITERALLY ONE TOILET FOR THE ENTIRE FACULTY.
[LAUGHTER] THAT KIND OF BECOMES A PROBLEM.
WE WASTE A LOT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES, PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
>> JUST LIKE THE OTHER CAMPUS WE VISITED, LACK OF STAFF RESTROOMS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS IS SOME OF THESE CLASSROOM SPACES ARE VERY, VERY SMALL.
>> WELL, YEAH, MY LIBRARY TOO, I'LL SHOW YOU.
[NOISE] MY LIBRARY IS BASICALLY TWO CLASSROOMS PUT TOGETHER. [NOISE] [BACKGROUND]
[01:20:12]
HAVE A TRADITIONAL LIBRARY?>> PRINCIPAL [INAUDIBLE] WILL YOU COME OVER BY MR. FERNANDEZ?
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE RECORDING.
>> THAT WAY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR COMMENTARY, IT WILL PICK YOU BOTH. THANK YOU.
>> I THINK THIS IS YOUR EIGHT FOR ME IN THIS BUILDING. [LAUGHTER]
>> SO WHEN WE CAME IN WITH ENGAGE TO LEARN, REMEMBER WE INTERVIEWED, WE HAD SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE SCHOOLS THAT I WAS AT. I REMEMBER.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR COMMENTS FROM SOME.
THERE'S LOTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT COME READ TO STUDENTS HERE.
MATTER OF FACT, I THINK THERE'S A GENTLEMAN THAT OWNS THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
>> HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME HERE READING TO STUDENTS.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A LARGER LIBRARY AND THEY'D LIKE TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
I REMEMBER THAT WAS ONE OF HIS MAJOR COMMENTS.
>> HE'S USUALLY HERE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK.
>> HE'S HERE A LOT. HE HELPS OUT.
>> ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED WAS BECAUSE THIS IS AN OLD FACILITY AND THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED, THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY WE COULD ADDRESS THE AIR CONDITIONING.
VERY TALL PEOPLE CAN BARELY GET IN HERE OVER THE DOOR.
THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY WE COULD CONDITION THIS FACILITY.
WE HAD TO BASICALLY PUT THE DUCKY. [BACKGROUND]
>> YES, BELOW THE CEILING, BECAUSE USUALLY, THAT GOES ABOVE THE CEILING.
BUT IN THIS FACILITY, WE HAD TO DO IT BELOW.
>> SO WHEN THEY BUILT THIS FACILITY THERE WAS NO AIR CONDITIONING?
>> WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES BECAUSE BOYS BEING BOYS, WHEN THEY GO UP THROUGH THE DOOR. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEY LIKE TO HIT AND THEN I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF [OVERLAPPING] CUT FINGERS AND CUT ARMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT FROM THOSE, SO WE TRY TO WATCH THEM REAL CLOSE, BUT IT DOES CAUSE AN ISSUE SOMETIMES.
[NOISE] [BACKGROUND] SORRY, MS. NANCY.
>> SHOULD WE BEGIN WITH THE CLASSROOMS? [NOISE]
>> NOW, THIS ONE IS A KINDER ROOM.
WELL, IT'S ECSE, SO IT CONNECTS.
I'VE GOT TWO ROOMS THAT CONNECT [BACKGROUND] WITH THE BATHROOM.
>> HEY, PAUL. I GUESS SINCE WE'RE NOT ON THE PRIORITY 1 OR 2 ON THE KINDER, WE GO TO THE VERY NEXT SECTION.
>> THE NEXT SECTION. [OVERLAPPING] OKAY.
>> [LAUGHTER] THE OTHER TWO CONNECTING ROOMS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?
>> YES, MA'AM. I CAN'T READ THE NUMBER ON THE MAP, BUT IT'S THE THIRD ROOM.
STARTING WITH THE THIRD ROOM ON THE LEFT.
THIS ONE DEFINITELY, YEAH, IF YOU HID THIS ONE IT IS.
>> THESE ARE TWO ALE ROOMS CONNECTED WITH A BATHROOM AND KITCHEN.
>> BUT THE KITCHEN DOESN'T WORK.
>> SEE, NOW ALL THESE INSIDE ROOMS HAVE THE BLINDS, IT'S ALL THE OUTSIDE ONES [BACKGROUND] THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY WINDOW COVERINGS.
WHICH GETS A LITTLE CONCERNING.
>> SORRY, THEY DID CALL FOR RENOVATIONS IN THESE AREAS.
IT SAYS HERE, FUTURE CLASSROOM RENOVATIONS, MORE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
IT WAS IDENTIFIED ON THE BOND PROGRAM.
ON THE FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT.
>> YEAH. IT'S EVERY CLASSROOM.
>> THERE'S NOTHING NEAR OR ABOVE THE CEILING [INAUDIBLE]
>> BECAUSE WE CAN SEE A LOT OF THESE FIXTURES ARE OLD.
>> [LAUGHTER] IT'S MORE FOR RESIDENTIAL.
>> I DON'T HAVE DRAINAGE HERE.
I WAS ASKING MY PTA [INAUDIBLE] [BACKGROUND].
>> YES, ITS REALLY PRONOUNCED IN THIS ROOM, HOW LOW IN EACH BACK FACILITIES IN THE DUCTING ROOM.
>> IT'S GOT TO BE AROUND AND I SEE OBVIOUSLY NOT EFFICIENT BECAUSE IT SEEMS-
>> THAT WAS AN ALA CLASSROOM, SO THIS IS A SPECIAL NEEDS ROOM.
[01:25:01]
>> THAT WHITE NO IS IN THE BACK GOOD DISTRACT US OUT THERE.
>> WHAT'S HOUSED IN YOUR PORTABLES?
>> I HAVE EIGHT, I HAVE MUSIC, THEN I HAVE MY INTERVENTIONIST THEN I HAVE MY COUNSELOR, THEN I HAVE A SCIENCE LAB, SPEECH [LAUGHTER] I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER MY COACHES, MY RESOURCE TEACHER, AND THEN STORAGE.
THERE'S NO CLASSROOM, LIKE THE ONLY CLASSROOM WOULD BE MUSIC.
BUT EVERYBODY ELSE'S HOUSED IN THE BUILDING.
>> JUST DISPATCH I'LL SEE ALL OF THEM.
>> WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE WHEN WE WERE BIGGER, WE HAD MORE THAN 2,000 HEARING AND THEN AS WE GET SMALLER, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE BACK INTO THE BUILDING.
>> IS THERE A PARTICULAR? [BACKGROUND].
>> WOULD YOU SHOW US YOUR MUSIC WHEN IF IT'S AVAILABLE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, OR?
>> THAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THREAD.
EVERY SINGLE WANT TO MOVE TOWARD MUSIC BECAUSE MUSIC IS ABSOLUTELY.
>> IS YOUR MUSIC OUTSIDE DUE TO NOISE?
>> I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PUT IT INSIDE.
>> I LITERALLY DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CLASSROOM TO MOVE IT INTO.
>> YOUR STRING STORAGE IS OUT HERE.
>> THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AT THE OTHER CAMPUS.
>> THEY'RE DOING MUSIC IN THESE PORTABLES AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL.
IT'S BLOWING REALLY NICE COOL AIR TODAY, BUT THIS IS A CONSOLE BATTLE FOR US TO KEEP ALL OF THESE INSTRUMENTS ADEQUATE CLIMATE CONTROL.
>> [INAUDIBLE] PORTABLES DON'T HAVE AIR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ONE OF THE UNITS CAUGHT ON FIRE AT THE END OF THE YEAR, LAST YEAR AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET.
>> WE GOT THE PARKING'S ON ORDER.
>> ON ORDER. [LAUGHTER] BUT BECAUSE OF THE DELAY.
>> ANOTHER THING IS A LOT OF THE CAMPUSES, THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY, SO YOU CAN SEE THE CARPETS, YOU CAN SEE THE CEILING, HOW IT BOWS IS BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATE.
AGAIN, THESE WERE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS, NOT LONG DECADE THAT LINKS TO HOUSE STUDENTS.
>> WELL, THAT'S A PORTABLE ONE, THE ONE I USE FOR STORAGE CONSTANT MOLD.
THAT'S WHY NOBODY'S HOUSED IN THERE. WE HAVE THEM.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY'LL COME AND THEY TAKE THE PANELS DOWN AND CLEAN IT AND PUT THE PANELS BACKUP.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY OTHER YEAR, MAYBE EVERY THREE YEARS, BUT I DON'T HOUSE ANYBODY IN THERE.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA PAUL ABOUT WHEN ALL OF EACH PORTABLE WAS INSTALLED?
>> WE CAN PULL THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
>> I'D BE CURIOUS TO KNOW AS HOW, THE AGE OF THESE PANELS.
>> WE GOT THE PORTABLE CAPACITY LIST, THE AGE WAS ON THAT LIST.
>> YES. IF YOU'LL RECENT THAT TO US, THE IT'D BE GREAT AND WE'LL ADD IT TO THE BINDERS.
>> ANOTHER THING THAT FIRST OF ALL BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION A FEW YEARS BACK, AS THE OTHER CAMPUS WITH ITS SECURITY, WE PUT A FENCE AROUND THE PORTABLES YEARS AGO AT THAT TIME OR A HIGHER FENCE BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAD A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC, A LOT OF PEOPLE COME WANDERING OFF THE STREET ONTO THIS CAMPUS, SO WE DID ADDRESS THAT SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
>> I THINK THEY'LL GET ME A LOCK FOR THE GATE.
>> GETTING YOU A LOCK FOR THE GATE? [NOISE] THOSE ARE THE HIGH POINTS OF THE AREAS THAT WE IDENTIFIED, THE REST IS ALL INFRASTRUCTURE AGAIN, AND THE HVAC, THE MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL THE ONE IN SUPPORT OF.
>> YEAH, I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE BETTER SIZED FENCE IN THIS AREA.
>> [OVERLAPPING] STORAGE BUILDINGS, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S, WE USED TO HAVE A LOT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE COMING FROM WALGREENS, BUT THEN THE SRS TOOK CARE OF THAT, BUT WE STILL TEND TO GET A LOT COMING FROM WHAT WE STORED.
I JUST WONDER IF THEY ARE HERE DURING THE DAY.
[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] YEAH, THEY LITERALLY JUST WONDER, SO OUR SRS IS REALLY GOOD ABOUT PLANNING ENSURING IT ALL STAYS OFTEN CLEAR A BIT.
[01:30:04]
>> THE MOST DEPRESSING THING I'M SAYING HERE IS THIS WONDERFUL INFRASTRUCTURE YOU GUYS HAVE BUILT UP TO SUPPORT THESE PORTABLES IN THE FACT THAT THIS MUCH PROMINENCE HAS BEEN ADDED TO IT AND TAKING THEM MAYBE THE WAY TO O HARD.
>> WELL, WE DO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE WATER AND MOLDS, WHERE THE RAIN COMES DOWN.
THEY'VE TRIED TO REDO IT, BUT THERE'S CONSTANT WATER STANDING AND ALL THOSE BECAUSE THERE'S NO GRASS ANYMORE.
>> IN THIS OPEN AREA BETWEEN THE TWO PORTABLES?
>> YEAH. I'LL SHOW YOU. [NOISE]
>> THE DROUGHT MASSIVE TIME TO BACK NORMALLY, IT'S JUST MAINLY WATER AND ALGAE AND WATER AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
>> YOU CAN STILL SEE THE SAME ONE OVER HERE.
>> I GOT [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] YEAH.
>> WHICH JUST HAS NO WORD FOR IT TO DRAIN.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY WERE RECENTLY DOING ALL THIS, BUT THEY WERE WORKING ALONG THAT AND THEN WE NEEDED UP WITH MORE POTABLES AND SO THEY CAME UP WITH THIS UP HERE, I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO.
>> THIS LIVE WIRES JUST HANGING.
>> WE'LL GET HIM UP HERE. THEY GOT TO TIE THOSE HOSTING FACILITIES TO WHERE IT'S NOT A BAD THING.
>> [INAUDIBLE] WE'VE GOT A LOT OF LOWER HANGING ON WIRES.
>> WE DIDN'T WORK THROUGH [INAUDIBLE] TRY TO GET MORE PORTABLES IN SOME CLASSROOMS, BUT I MEAN, IN THOSE SCHOOLS.
>> IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SPACE AND OTHER AREAS LIKE IT'S A LAB.
>> OR THE STRINGERS. [BACKGROUND].
>> EXCUSE ME, PAUL, IS AT THE LAST PART OF INTERESTS FOR THIS BUILDING?
>> WE GOT TO GO TO THE NEXT CAMPUS.
>> WE GOT TO GO TO THE NEXT CAMPUS.
>> IT IS 11:08 AM AND WE'RE GOING TO RECESS AGAIN AND WE WILL RECONVENE AT DAUGHERTY ELEMENTARY.
IT IS 11:19 AND WE HAVE ARRIVED AT DAUGHERTY ELEMENTARY AND WE'RE BACK FROM RECESS.
>> THIS IS OUR SECOND LARGEST ELEMENTARY.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS CAMPUS RIGHT HERE HAS A SIX PERCENT FSCI, SO BASICALLY TOTAL OPPOSITE OF THE ONES THAT WE VISITED TODAY.
THIS IS OUR NEWEST ELEMENTARY.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE IS [NOISE] REALLY CONSTRUCTED WELL BUILDING AND WE'LL TAKE A REALLY QUICK WALK-THROUGH, BUT PRETTY MUCH THERE'S SOME VERY MINOR ITEMS THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED AT THIS CAMPUS, BUT NOT THE MAJOR.
>> I WANT YOU TO TAKE THEM TO THE LIBRARIES, CAFETERIA AND THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN.
>> WHAT A CLASSROOM SPACE WAS LIKE.
>> THANK YOU FOR RACING AROUND. WONDERFUL BUILDING.
>> [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] [NOISE].
>> WE ARE TRYING TO BE CREATIVE WILL GIVE ME ONE OVER.
[01:35:09]
>> AS YOU CAN SEE, A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM THE LIBRARY YOU JUST SAW, AND THIS IS WHAT A NEW LIBRARY LOOKS LIKE IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
IT HAS MULTI USES FOR THE STUDENTS, FURNITURE, AND-
ADEQUATE LIGHTING. YOU'VE GOT LOTS OF LIGHT THAT COMES IN HERE, NATURAL LIGHT.
>> THE NATURAL LIGHT IS COMING FROM A SECURED INTERIOR COURTYARD.
>> ABSOLUTELY. LET'S LOOK AT THE CAFETERIA.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT STUFF THAT WAS DONE HERE?
>> I KNOW THAT AT LEAST WE HAD SOME GEOTHERMAL.
>> A SMALL LITTLE PORTION OF GEOTHERMAL.
>> AND WE HAD SOME GREEN SCAPE DONE ON THE PROPERTY, BUT-
>> THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PHOTOVOLTAICS.
I'M NOT SURE THAT IT ACTUALLY GOT DONE AT THE END.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
>> IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT [OVERLAPPING] WHAT DO YOU USE THE CISTERNS FOR?
>> I'M GOING TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M BEGINNING MY SECOND YEAR HERE.
ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE USE THE CISTERNS FOR.
>> I'M ASSUMING IT CATCHES RUNOFF FROM THE ROOF.
>> BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE USING IT FOR THEIR GARDENS OR WATERING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> YES. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
>> YES. IF WE WANT TO, WE CAN HEAD OUT THE BACKDOOR AND IT'LL HELP TO GET TO THE CAFETERIA.
>> GET THAT WATER, MAN [LAUGHTER].
>> [NOISE] THIS WAY. IT'S IN THE BACK CORNER.
>> AND HERE WE HAVE THE CAFETERIA AND THEN A CLASSROOM [INAUDIBLE]
>> [NOISE] THIS ONE'S ADDRESS. YOU HAVE A WINDOW PANE INTO THE BACK.
>> YES. SO YOU HAVE ADA ACCESS TO THIS STAGE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, LARGER DINING ROOM, AGAIN, NATURAL LIGHTING COMING IN.
WE GOT AUTOMATIC SHADE BLINDS, BUT WE CAN BRING THEM UP, GET MORE NATURAL LIGHT.
YOU'LL SEE HAVING A TRUE SERVING AREA NEXT TO NUTRITION SERVICES UTILIZES VERY MUCH.
IT INDICATES THE MULTIPLE LINES, I GUESS.
YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF SPACE TO WORK WITH.
>> ARE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING HUNGRY [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER].
>> THE FREEZERS ARE INSIDE THE BUILDING, A LOT OF THE OTHER FACILITIES OF FREEZERS ARE OUTSIDE.
EVERYTHING IS INSIDE THE BUILDING.
>> THEY'RE ALL WALK-INS, AND THEN YOU HAVE OFFICE SPACE FOR THE MANAGER AND THERE IS FOOD PANTRIES IN HERE.
THIS IS WHAT OUR PREP AREA SHOULD LOOK LIKE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
>> YOU CAN HAVE 844 WITH THIS PLACE.
>> TRADITIONALLY, IT'S 800-900.
>> YES. EXACTLY. THAT'S A LOT OF SPACE?
>> IT MUST BE THE KITCHEN IN THE HILLSIDE.
>> SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY AND YOU HAVE WHAT IS IDEAL.
BUT IT'S 784. WE HAD A REALLY GOOD STUDENT WORKLOAD RATIO IN THIS BILL.
>> YES. I THINK UP TO 800, IT WOULD BE GREAT, 800 BANKS, BUT YES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] 800 YOU'RE STARTING TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE CAPACITY.
[01:40:01]
>> YOU HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL HERE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] WHICH SUPPOSEDLY SAID TO BE THREE, BUT IT DOESN'T. [OVERLAPPING].
>> A STAGE IS THE ONLY FORM OF AUDITORIUM THIS FACILITY HAVE.
>> PLENTY OF THE THINGS ARE PERFORMING WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR STUDENTS TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE PERFORMED.
WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE ARCHER PROGRAM, WE MAY LOOK AT A AUDITORIUM OF SOME TYPE, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE PREPARING THEM TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL, A CAFETERIA MAY NOT BE SUITABLE.
>> THIS IS ALSO A GENERAL WAY.
>> THIS IS NOT A [OVERLAPPING], A WALMART PLAN THEY HAVE, STRINGS THEY HAVE.
THIS IS CLEARLY A MORE APPROPRIATE CAFETERIUM FACILITY.
>> YOU NOTICE WHEN WE WALKED OUT THE BACK DO [INAUDIBLE]
>> OKAY. LET'S GO UPSTAIRS. [LAUGHTER]
>> THE OLD CONTROL [OVERLAPPING], IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED.
>> TOO A NICE CLASSROOM TO WORK.
>> YEAH. I HAVE SEEN [INAUDIBLE]
>> WE CAN SEE THE UPSTAIRS TOO.
>> WE'RE GOING TO UPSTAIRS TO DEBATE IN THIS PROMOTION.
>> THAT'S ANOTHER THING, IS A LOT OF THE NEW DESIGNS FOR ELEMENTARY ARE TRADITIONALLY TWO STORY CLASSROOMS ON FIRST AND SECOND LEARNING SPACES.
>> OUR BIG PROBLEM HERE IS PARKING AND DISMISSAL BECAUSE WE HAVE 800 STUDENTS AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PARKING OR SPACE TO RIDE THROUGH PICK-UP.
THE FIRST FEW WEEKS IS A REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE WE NEED TO TIME PARENTS.
THEY'RE HARDER THAN THE KIDS ARE.
>> I'M ALWAYS ASKING MY SRO, PLEASE, COME AND HELP US BECAUSE WHEN THEY SEE THE POLICE THEY BEHAVE BETTER AND THEY'RE NICE FOR ONCE.
THIS ARE THE ONLY ONES NEXT TO THE GYM THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY THREE STONES REACH.
AT THE END OF EACH GRADE LEVEL, THERE'S ONLY TWO FOR GIRLS AND TWO FOR BOYS.
BUT BASICALLY WHEN WE HAVE CLASSROOM AND CLASSES, STUDENTS KEEP GOING, QUICK RIGHT [INAUDIBLE] IT'S ONLY TWO STUDENTS CAN COME IN.
>> THE ONES THAT WE SAW EARLIER, ARE THOSE FOR STAFF?
>> FOR KIDS. WE HAVE SEVERAL FOR STAFF, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES TEACHERS USE A LOT WHEN THEY COME TO CLASSES BECAUSE YOU HAVE THREE AND WE CAN MOVE THE CLASS HERE.
>> YEAH, WE NEED TO FIND CREATIVE WAYS OF FIGURING THIS OUT.
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS AND SHOW YOU.
THIS IS FIRST GRADE AND THEN KINDER.
WE CAN ALSO GO UPSTAIRS, I'LL SHOW YOU A NICE LITTLE GRADE DECORATED.
I HAVE DYSLEXIA CLASSROOMS TO SPARE.
THIS IS ONE OF MY DISTINGUISHED FEATURES. RIGHT HERE.
>> BASICALLY [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR CLASSROOM.
>> OKAY. [OVERLAPPING] SORRY ABOUT THE MESS.
[01:45:05]
I'M REORGANIZING.>> YOU'RE AT THE SITE OF A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING RIGHT NOW.
[LAUGHTER] I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE WAY THE FURNITURE, IT'S BUILT WHERE YOU CAN MOVE THE FURNITURE.
HOWEVER THE TEACHER WANTS TO SET IT UP FOR THE LEARNING, THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITY.
THIS IS WHAT A NEW CLASSROOM LOOKS LIKE.
COMPARED TO THE OTHER CLASSROOMS WE WENT TO, THEY WERE ODD-SHAPED AND JUST NOT DESIGNED [OVERLAPPING]
>> I CAN ALSO SHOW YOU KINDER. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
DIFFERENT COLORS LIKE THE RED TABLE, YELLOW TABLE.
>> WE DON'T HAVE ROOM ON THIS. WE PUT CLASSROOMS ON TOP OF THE SECOND FLOOR.
>> NO. WHAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS BY CODE, YOU CAN ONLY PUT THIRD AND UP ON SECOND FLOORS.
>> WHEN YOU BUILD A TWO-STORY ELEMENTARY, IF YOU WANT A PRE-K, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU DESIGN THAT EXTRA SPACE.
>> YEAH. OKAY. [LAUGHTER] THERE'S A FRONT END BECAUSE THE LITTLES CAN'T BE UP HERE.
>> SOME OF OUR PROPERTIES WE'RE LIMITED TO PROPERTY, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO DO TWO STORYS.
BUT TRADITIONALLY, A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO A TWO-STORY DESIGN ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
[NOISE] A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE DOING IT, ESPECIALLY URBAN DISTRICTS.
[BACKGROUND] THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.
>> DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM TO THE GYM? THAT'S THE ONLY [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT'S THE ONLY SPACE WE GOT, THE GYM.
>> WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK DOWN THE STAIRS.
>> IT'S NOT PAPER, IT'S PAINT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. [LAUGHTER]
>> [BACKGROUND] NO, YOU'RE FINE.
[LAUGHTER] DO YOU WANT TO SEE OUR KINDERGARTEN?
>> THE GYM? BACK DOWN WHERE WE WERE.
I KNOW, WE SPENT A LOT OF OUR DAYS UP AND DOWN. [LAUGHTER]
>> WE DO A LOT OF WALKING HERE.
>> ONE OF OUR AIDES WAS HELPING [INAUDIBLE] AND HE STOPPED BY AND HE'S LIKE, "I HAD 12,000 STEPS TODAY." I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. [LAUGHTER] BLESS HIS HEART.
[OVERLAPPING] HE WAS MOVING STUFF.
>> [BACKGROUND] YOUR BUILDING IS NICE.
>> WELL, RIGHT NOW WE'RE MISSING ONE MORE STORY.
>> THEY ARE GOING TO FIND THEIR WAY THERE, [INAUDIBLE]
>> WE'RE ABOUT 30 SHORT, RIGHT?
>> YEAH. WE ARE ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE DON'T HAVE SOMEONE FOR THE UPSTAIRS IN THE AFTERNOON.
[OVERLAPPING] [BACKGROUND] THE OTHER ONE THAT HAD DONE SURGERY AND STUFF. I'M NOT LYING TO YOU.
>> [INAUDIBLE] I HEAR YOUR NAME.
>> YOU REMEMBER THE MAKESHIFT BAFFLING THAT THEY CAME UP WITH AT THE OTHER CAMPUS? AS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SOUND ACOUSTICS IN THIS GYM.
>> THESE ARE ORIGINAL DESIGNS.
>> THAT WAS PART OF THE DESIGN.
>> BUT WE DIDN'T GET A SPORT COURT.
>> NO, THAT WAS BEFORE I GOT HERE.
[LAUGHTER] BEFORE WE STARTED SPEC'ING IN SPORTS COURTS.
BUT THIS ONE WOULD BE ANOTHER IDEAL SPOT FOR A SPORT COURT.
>> IF YOU CAN SEE, THE GYM IS SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE OTHER ONES YOU SAW BEFORE. THIS IS A BIGGER GYM.
THE SLATS YOU SEE AND THE BRICKWORK, THAT'S AN ACOUSTICAL BRICK.
>> THEY DID REALLY NICE JOB WITH OUTSIDE LIGHTING, THE NATURAL LIGHTING.
>> YEAH, THEY GOT GOOD LIGHTING HERE. [BACKGROUND]
[01:50:02]
>> WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS IS ALMOST LIKE HILLSIDE.
>> PRETTY CLOSE. [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> I WANT YOU TO THINK THE SIDE OF TOWN THAT THIS IS ON.
I WANT YOU TO THINK THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, HOW HIGH-PERFORMING THE SCHOOL IS,.
ALL OF THESE THINGS. THIS IS WHAT KIDS DESERVE.
>> WOW. YES, AND WE'VE GOT THE EIGHT ACRES AND THE 10 ACRES.
>> I WAS THINKING WE CAN RE-IMAGINE WHAT WE'LL DO AT CENTERVILLE BECAUSE OF ALL THAT X-RAY.
WITH CENTERVILLE, YOU COULD RELOCATE CENTERVILLE.
BUILD A STATE-OF-THE-ART SCHOOL, COMBINE TWO SCHOOLS THERE AND YOU ARE SET.
>> YEAH. IT'S A 62 PERCENT ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE IN THIS AREA.
>> WITH 10 ACRES OVER [INAUDIBLE]
>> OKAY. FOLKS, IT IS 11:37 AND WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK INTO RECESS FROM DAUGHERTY AND WE WILL RECONVENE AT THE GRCTC.
>> IT IS 12:07 PM AND WE HAVE RECONVENED FROM RECESS AT THE GRCTC.
ANY TRUSTEE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TOURS? SEEING NONE, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN?
>> WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 12:07 PM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
