>> WELCOME TO OUR WORK SESSION EVERYONE.
[Call the Work Session to Order]
[00:00:06]
ON THIS WONDERFUL JANUARY 21 2021.THE TOPICS ARE AGENDA TODAY ARE SOME UPDATES ON THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT AND THEN AFTERWARDS WE WILL BE LOOKING AT REVISIONS TO A POLICIES, B POLICIES, SEE POLICIES AND THE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS.
I'M TURNING IT OVER TO DOCTOR HUTCHINS AND HIS TEAM.
[1. High School Project Colocation Testfits]
THIS IS THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT LIKE ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING DECISIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE.THIS SEEMS LIKE THIS STARTED WHEN I GOT HERE AND IT'S STILL GOING.
IT WAS PART OF MY INTERVIEW PROCESS AND WERE STILL IN IT EVERYBODY AND WE STILL GOT SOME TIME TO GO.
BUT, I THINK IT WOULD BE A MAJOR MILESTONE TODAY.
WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TEST FOR THIS ENTERTAINMENT WILL PRESENT TO YOU ALL SOME OF THE TEST FOR THIS IN REGARDS TO OUR LOCATIONS WITHIN THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT AND AM GOING TO TURN THINGS OVER RIGHT NOW TO ERIKA GUILICK WHO IS OUR DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS. I KEEP GETTING THE DAY MIXED UP.
CAN IT JUST BE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT? ERIKA GUILICK DIDN'T WANT THAT.
I'LL TURN THIS OVER TO YOU MISS ERIKA GUILICK.
I LIKE HAVING A DIFFERENT TITLE EVERY TIME.
WE LOOK AT STARTED WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.
OUR UPDATE TODAY THERE IS A LOT GOING ON WITH THE PROJECT.
DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT THE ADVISORY BOARD IS STILL NOT GOING ON.
THEY ARE BUT WILL HAVE A FOCUS CONVERSATION TONIGHT ON SOME OF THE TEST THAT OUR DESIGN TEAM HAS STARTED TO DO FOR US AND PARTICULARLY SURROUNDING THE TOPIC OF CO-LOCATION.
WE WILL JUMP RIGHT IN IF WE CAN GO, THANK YOU.
SOME OF OUR ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS OF WHAT WE WILL GO OVER TODAY.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SCHOOL BOARD DECISIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE NEAR TERM STAY ON SCHEDULE.
THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT AS DOCTOR HUTCHINGS SAID SOME OF THE KEY MILESTONES THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN ORDER FOR US TO CONTINUE THROUG THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR THIS PROJECT.
IN THE SCHEDULE WE HAVE PLANNED.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR THEMES WE'VE HEARD ALREADY REGARDING CO-LOCATION FROM SOME OF THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH WE'VE DONE.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE INITIAL TEST FOR THIS.
THERE TO SEE WHAT CAN FIT IN NO WAY REPRESENTATIVE OF A DESIGN CONCEPT DESIGN SOLUTION OR WHAT WE WILL ULTIMATELY BUILD.
WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPACTS OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS WERE TRYING TO FIT ON THE SITE AND WHAT IT MEANS.
AS WE'VE HEARD FROM SCHOOL BOARD AND OTHERS JUST TRYING TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRADE-OFFS AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO THE DIFFERENT CO-LOCATION OPPORTUNITIES.
WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE SURPRISED.
THIS IS OUR STUDY MONTHLY FLOW OF DECISIONS WE NEED OVER THE NEXT 3 MONTHS FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUG THE DESIGN.
THE FIRST BEING THE CO-LOCATION OPTIONS.
TONIGHT WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT IN DEPTH.
HOPING YOU GIVE US A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR US TO PROVIDE YOU MORE INFORMATION AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING IN ORDER TO HAVE A DECISION ON FEBRUARY 4 ABOUT WHAT WILL BE CO-LOCATED ON THE SITE AND WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM AND SITE SPECIFIC.
SPECIFICALLY THE QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.
MOVING FORWARD, ONCE WE HAVE THAT DECISION, WITH A GREAT TEAM ON BOARD WHO'S BEEN TURNING AROUND TO THE VERBALS VERY QUICKLY.
WE WILL BE DEVELOPING THE ED SPECS.
ARE THE SPACES OAK OVER THE BUILDING.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE LOOKING LIKE.
WHAT WILL BE THE DIFFERENT ATHLETIC SPACES AND FIELDS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN.
THAT WILL ALLOW US TO DO DESIGN CONCEPTS.
IF YOU RECALL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR IT WAS BROUGHT ON LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME.
IT WILL BE A SIMILAR PROCESS BRINGING YOU ALL DESIGN CONCEPTS SO WE CAN MOVE YOUR SELECTED DESIGN CONCEPT THROUGH THE DSU PROCESS.
[00:05:02]
WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND NOTHING HERE IS NEW.
REITERATING OUR SCHOOL PROGRAM AS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CAMPUS.
WERE AIMING FOR A NOTE NET LOSS OF ATHLETIC FIELDS AND FIELDS WE HAVE AND PART OF THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS NO NET LOSS OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE WHICH WE KNOW THE SITE HAS SPLIT ZONING AND WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER WITH PUBLIC OPEN SPACE IN OUR RESIDENTIAL DWELLING.
BECAUSE WITHOUT ANY CHANGE WE MAKE WHETHER IT HAS HOUSING OR NOT WILL REQUIRE A REZONING .
THE CITY IS WORKING WITH US ON WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIK AND WHAT THOSE CHANGES WOULD BE TO THE ZONING AT THAT SITE.
CURRENTLY ASSUMING UNDERGROUND PARKING.
AS WE EXPERIENCE DOUGLAS MACARTHUR AND WINDLEY GET TO SOME OF THE TRADE-OFFS FOR SUBLEASED TEST FOR THIS UNDERGROUND PARKING IS EXPENSIVE.
BUT SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS AND COMPARE WHETHER OR NOT THAT SOMETHING DEATHLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO KEEP FOR ALL THE PARKING ON THE SITE.
THEN, OUR GOAL REALLY AND THIS IS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT EVEN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT WITH EDUCATIONAL DESIGN TEAM AND OTHER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ON HOW THE CONNECTED HIGH SCHOOL NETWORK.
WHAT ARE THEDEFICITS WE CURRENTLY HAVE BETWEEN THE MINI HOWARD AND HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WE PRIORITIZE THOSE IN THE NEW MINI HOWARD.
A LOT OF THEM ARE LABS, CTE SPACES AND OF COURSE MAKING SURE WE HAVE AMPLE ROOM FOR TEACHERS AS WELL AS THE OTHER ATHLETIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR SPACES WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW WE DO ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS EVERY YEAR FOR 10 YEARS.
PARTICULARLY THIS YEAR WHEN WE EXPERIENCED CERTAINLY THE PANDEMIC CAUSED THIS TO BE Â" YEAR.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE ORANGE TABLE AT THE TOP WHICH IS OUR MOST UP-TO-DATE ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, WE STILL GET THE 5000 NUMBER.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT.
YOU FIGURE OUT ABOUT FY 26 WHICH SHOULD BE SCHOOL YEAR 2025 TO 2026 ALREADY AT 4900 AND CLOSE THE 5000 NUMBER WHICH IS WHAT WE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE 4.
THEN THE PREVIOUS ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS WHICH ARE PROBABLY WHAT YOU RECALL FROM LAST YEAR WITH US GETTING TO THAT 5000 NUMBER MUCH EARLIER.
IT DOES BUY US A LITTLE TIME BUT CERTAINLY STILL SHOWS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NEED.
THE SLIDE AGAIN IS ONE WE'VE SHARED GIVE YOU A LIST OF DIFFERENT PUBLICATION OPTIONS WE ARE CONSIDERING THAT WE HAVE AS PURSED EASTMAN HAVE ADDED FOR THE TEST FIT.
THEY INCLUDE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS AND POTENTIAL FOR CITY OR A CPS OFFICES AT THE SITE.
OUR TEAM WELLNESS CENTER WORKING WITH DOCTOR HERRING AND HIS TEAM ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF A TEAM WELLNESS CENTER CAN LOOK LIKE.
ALSO WORKING WITH THE CHS IN HER OWN A CPS TEAM WHO WORKS ON EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING AS WELL AS POTENTIAL OTHER SPACES FOR OTHER DEDICATED USE OR SHARED USE.
THEN NEXT WE DID LOOK OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THAT LITTLE BIT FURTHER IN THIS PRESENTATION AND THEN CONTINUING OUR CO-LOCATION WITH HER PCA FOR THE SHARED USE FOR GEMS, AND INNATE GYMNASIUM AND THE POLE.
MAJOR THEMES OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH FURTHER LOT.
YOU HAVE ALL HEARD A LOT ALREADY.
WHAT SOME OF THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING.
IN PARTICULAR AND WE TRY TO PULL THEM OUT INTO PRETTY CONCISE BULLET POINTS.
ATTACHED TO THIS PRESENTATION ARE ALL OF THE WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED DIRECTLY IN THE LANGUAGE WE RECEIVED THEM IN.
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE GENERALLY AGAINST CO-LOCATING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR ANY HOUSING ON THE SCHOOL SITE.
THERE'S A GENERAL FEELING THAT THE COMMUNITY AS OPPOSED TO IT.
THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND UNDERSTAND IT IS A SIGNIFICANT NEED IN THE CITY STILL EXPRESS CONCERNS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO CO-LOCATE THAT ON A SCHOOL SITE.
[00:10:02]
IN GENERAL OTHER CO-LOCATIONS WERE TALKING ABOUT, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS SEEM TO BE FAIRLY SUPPORTIVE OF INCLUDING DEFINITELY ASKING FOR SOME OF THOSE WORKSPACES AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY THE POOL AND THINK THOSE ARE APPROPRIATE CO-LOCATION OPPORTUNITIES.JUST TO REVIEW THE MINI HOWARD SITE.
JUST TO REORIENT EVERYBODY I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT.
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE SITE IS SPLIT IN HALF WITH ZONING.
YOU CAN SEE THE END OF THAT PARKING LOT WHERE THE FIELD START TO BEGIN.
ROUGHLY THERE IS WHERE THE PUBLIC OPEN SEA BASS ZONES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SITE.
THE RESIDENTIAL'S OF HIS OWN YOU CAN BUILD ON IS A LEFT SIDE OF THE SITE.
WE ARE STILL PROPOSING TO FLIP THESE FROM A TIME AND COST EFFICIENCY AND RELIEF FROM THE BUILDING AND NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT.
IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE TO DO AND IS PRETTY COMMON PRACTICE.
THAT IS STILL AN ASSUMPTION GOING INTO THIS.
AS MENTIONED BEFORE BECAUSE HIS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE WILL BE SWITCHED, ANY CHANGE TO THE SITE WILL REQUIRE REZONING.
WE DON'T WANT THAT TO COME UP LATER AND PEOPLE TO BE SURPRISED BY THAT AS WELL.
SOME OF THE INITIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THESE TESTBEDS THAT WE WILL TALK THROUGH.
THE INITIAL ANNOUNCEMENT JUST CONFIRMS EVERYTHING CAN PHYSICALLY FIT.
THAT INCLUDES A SCHOOL BUILDING FOR A MINIMUM OF 1600 STUDENTS.
NO NET LOSS OF THOSE FIELDS OR THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AND ALL CO-LOCATING USES THAT ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION INCLUDING EITHER AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE USES.
THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THOSE.
WHICH, FOR WHAT HOUSING RANGES FROM 60 TO 85 UNITS.
THAT MIGHT BE ANYWHERE FROM 70 TO 90,000 SQUARE FEET.
WE ARE REVIEWING THE BUDGET BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE THINGS DO IMPACT PRICING.
EVEN THOUGH THAT MAY BE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO BE ACCOMMODATED WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE OUR FUNDING ON HOW WE WANT TO SPEND IT.
CONTINUING TO WORK AS I MENTIONED BEFORE TO THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AND HOW THE 2 CAMPUSES WILL ACTUALLY OPERATE.
BRIEFLY GO OVER SOME OF THE TRADE-OFFS IN CONSIDERATION THAT DAWUD WILL SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO EACH TEST FIT.
WE WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF SOME THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN LOOKING THROUGH THE US.
THE FIRST GROUP OF TRADE-OFFS IS FINANCIAL.
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE PARKING IS EXPENSIVE.
IF YOU THINK OF A SURFACE LOT IS EXPENSIVE ONCE AGAIN STRUCTURED OR PARKING GARAGE IT GETS MORE EXPENSIVE.
ONCE YOU PUT IT UNDERGROUND IT GETS MORE EXPENSIVE.
SURFACE PARKING WILL ALWAYS BE CHEAPER.
IT'S A TRADE-OFF OF IT TAKING UP LAND.
THE LESS SPACE WE COULD TAKE UP WITH BUILDING THE MORE SPACE WE HAVE TO AT LEAST EXPLORE THAT OPTION IF IT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO.
WE ALSO COLLATING ANY A CPS OR MINISTRY TO FUNCTIONS FOR A CPS WOULD INCREASE OUR COST WHICH ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR BUDGET.
BUT, THERE'S A BALANCING ACT OF WILL, DOES THIS REPLACE THE LEASE WE CURRENTLY HAVE OR MAYBE FUTURE NEEDS WE HAVEN'T RELEASED YET.
THERE'S ALSO SECURITY AND OPERATIONS CONSIDERATIONS FOR INTEGRATING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS PART OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING OR EVEN ON THE SITE.
THEN REITERATING ANY CO-LOCATED CITY HOUSING USE WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THOSE AGENCIES.
A CPS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR ANY OF THAT.
WE DON'T WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THAT IN YOUR ASSESSMENT.
AS FAR AS ON THE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING.
AGAIN CONSIDERING THE SECURITY ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR OFFICE SPACE.
IF IT'S DEDICATED COULD TAKE AWAY THE SPACE FOR FUTURE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING OR EVEN CURRENT IF FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE.
THEN WE JUST LISTED THE EFFECTIVE LOCAL LOCATION.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE CO-LOCATION ON THE SITE SO WE WOULD ANTICIPATE TO HAVE THOUGHT.
WE HAVE ACCESS SUSTAINABLE USE ESTABLISHED EVEN FOR THE MINI HOWARD SITES WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO CONSIDER SOME OF THOSE USES.
THEN, AGAIN LIKE A SAID BEFORE JUST THE IMPACT FOR FUTURE EXPANSION.
[00:15:03]
SQUARE FOOTAGE WE ARE INCLUDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COULD BE ABOUT THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 400 OR 500 STUDENTS IN THE FUTURE.JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER THERE.
NOW I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DAWUD WHO IS THE PROJECT Â" POSSIBLE PROJECT.
HE WILL GO THERE MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE 5 DIFFERENT TEST FITS.
GO THROUGH THOSE IN ANY SPECIFIC TRADE-OFFS JUST TO GIVE YOU A BETTER PICTURE OF WHAT THE SITE COULD LOOK LIKE.
>> I'M SORRY, THANK YOU ERIKA.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE BEFORE YOU AGAIN.
I WILL GO THROUGH THE TEST FITS.
IN A RELATIVELY HIGH LEVEL MANNER AS ERIKA MENTIONED.
THEY ARE COMING ON BOARD AND STARTING THE SITE.
WE NEVADA CORNISH WITH HER CITY PARTNERS AS WELL AS THE DESIGN TEAM AND OUTREACH WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
LOOKING AT HOW CAN WE FIT VARIOUS ELEMENTS WERE EXPLORING ON THE SITE.
I WANT TO DRYER TENSION TO THE LOW BLOCK AT THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER JUST ORIENT YOU ON THE SITE AS ERIKA MENTIONED WERE FLIPPING THE LOCATION FROM THE FIELDS OF THE BUILDING.
MENTIONED THIS BEFORE AS A PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.
1/4 IS CLOSEST TO THE BRADLEY SHOPPING CENTER IN THE FURTHEST EAST ON THE SITE.
IN THIS GAME THEY'VE LOOKED AT THE POSSIBILITY O DEVELOPING ENOUGH SCHOOL MASSING WHICH IS THE ORANGE SHADE BLOCK OF MASSING SCHOOL AND OTHER INTERIOR COLOCATED USES LIKE TEEN RELATED USES LOOK TO PUT AFFORDABLE USES FOR THE EAST END THERE.
ALL OF THE TEST FITS WE WILL GO THROUGH ALL HAVE A COMMON THEME.
THERE WE WERE ABLE PHYSICALLY TO PLACE ALL THE COLOCATED USES THAT WERE CONSIDERING ON THE SITE WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT PHYSICALLY NET LOSS OR FIELDS SUPPORT 1600 STUDENTS AT A MINIMUM THAT WAS VIABLE FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING PERSPECTIVE.
ON THIS TEST FIT WE ARE CONSIDERING UNDERGROUND PARKING.
WE WOULD HAVE THE COST OF A DEGREE IN PARKING WHICH ERIKA MENTIONED.
FORTUNATELY A $5 MILLION DIFFERENCE IN COST BETWEEN UNDERGROUND PARKING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTION.
OPERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BELTS COLOCATED ON THE SITE.
LET ME GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE TO GO THROUGH THE VARIOUS THINGS.
TEST FIT THINKING OF THIS AS MASSING, COLOCATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING MINISTRANT OF SPACES DEVELOP IS A TRIP FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT'S A NO COST INCREASE TO THE PROJECT.
IF YOU PUT SITUATION SPACES ON THE SITE THERE WILL BE INITIAL ONE-TIME COST WE COULD HAVE AND WE COULD HAVE COST SAVINGS IN THE FUTURE IF WE DEVELOP THE PROJECT THAT WAY.
WE COULD CO-LOCATE ALL THE USES OF THE VERY TRADE-OFFS FOR UNDERGROUND PARKING.
WE ARE TO THINK ABOUT SECURITY AND OPERATOR SUITED WITH AFFORDABLE ON THIS.
I WOULD SHORT AND LONG TERM COST FOR MASSING AS IT RELATES TO ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS. I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT HOUSING HAS THERE'S AN OVERALL SELECTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLELY ON THEIR STRATEGY.
FORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE A TEST THAT DOES IT.
SO WE COULD CO-LOCATE TO MONUMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES IN PARK AND REC ON-SITE EARED NEXT SLIDE PLEASE TEST WE WILL START TO NOTHING.
THERE STILL UNDERGROUND PARKING.
MASSING WAS FURTHER TO THE EAST POSTED ABRUPT WITHOUT TESTING IT.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN THE CENTER ONCE AGAIN WE CAN MAINTAIN THE NO NET LOSS FIELDS.
WE COULD SUPPORT MASSING THAT COULD PRESENT HOUSING OR MINISTRY OF SPACES SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SITE.
[00:20:01]
THINK ABOUT.WE ALWAYS HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT WHAT IMPACTS ON PROGRAMS AND COST RELATED TO SECURITY, OPERATIONS GIVING SEPARATION BETWEEN ADULT AND CHILDREN ON ALL OF THESE STUDIES.
ONCE AGAIN TO MOVE KEEPING THE BUILDINGS AND ALL THESE STUDIES IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING THERE BE A POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE EXPANSION.
I WILL SAY ANYWHERE WE PUT GENERALLY, ANYWHERE REPLACE FASTING FOR HOUSING CITY ADMINISTERS COULD IMPACT FUTURE EXPANSION OF SCHOOL PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THE LAND.
GIBLETS STRATA OF SCHOOL ADMINISTERED WE COULD DESIGN IT SO COULD MORE EASILY BE CONVERTED TO SCHOOL SPACES IN THE FUTURE.
THIS WAS NOT THE SAME INFO WE DID NOTED TO BE FAIR IN OUR ANALYSIS WHICH WE GIVE THE SCHOOL BOARD ALL THE INFORMATION MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.
WE COULD SAVE MONEY IF VACATED SOME LEASES.
THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY COST.
ANYTIME PLAN THE COULD BE HOUSE OR ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES IT DOESN'T PETER LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO REFUTE IN THE FUTURE.
AS YOU HEARD ERIKA MENTIONED EARLIER.
WE STILL GETS ABOUT 5000 STUDENT NUMBER.
IT'S LATER IN THIS PROJECTION BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT NUMBER FLEX.
YOU HEARD FUTURE EXPANSION IS WHAT WILL HELP WITH OUR ANALYSIS.
TILL THE WAS SATISFIED ALL THE COLD ABLE TO MAINTAIN WITH NO NET LOSS.
THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE PROVIDING REGULATION FIELDS AND OTHER USES AS A RELATES TO OPEN SPACES AND ATHLETI FIELDS.
WE DO HAVE EXPANSION THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE DOTTED LINES FOR FUTURE IN THIS GAME THE DESIGN TEAM IS TESTED MOVING THE MASSES AS FAR TO THE WEST AS POSSIBLE.
WE DO WANT TO CONSIDER CIRCULATION, SEPARATION, ACCESS, SECURITY CONCERNS.
COST CONCERNS DURING CPS POLICIES IF A SCHEME LIKE THIS IS ACCEPTED.
ONCE OF THINGS WE HAVE THIS LIBRARIES IS WHAT I MENTIONED.
UNDERGROUND PARKING PEERS IMMEDIATE SHORT-TERM COST OF SPACES.
NO IMMEDIATE COST FOR HOUSING BUT, LAND OF FUTURE EXPANSION.
THIS IS NOW YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SEE A SHIFT.
IF YOU LOOK UP REGULAR MASSING THAT'S REALLY IN BED AND NOW IN WHAT WILL BUILDING.
THIS IS WHERE THE DESIGN TEAM BEGIN TO ASK THE QUESTION, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE REALLY TRYING TO BECOME EITHER ADMINISTRATIVE HOUSING SO IT'S ATTACHED.
ONCE AGAIN WITHOUT DOES, IT DOES FREE UP WITH THE LAND POSSIBLY SWEAR EXPANSION.
THERE STILL UNDERGROUND PARKING IN THIS SCHEME.
IT'S ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THE VARIOUS WAYS OF ACCOMMODATING THE PROGRAM ON-SITE WITH CONSIDERATIONS WITH THE SCRIPT AND THERE IS AS YOU SAW POSSIBILITIES FOR EXPANSION FOR THIS APPROACH AS WELL.
THIS IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT I JUST MENTIONED TERMS OF VARIOUS WILL APPROACH IT.
I'LL TEST LEE IS THE MOST I GUESS DRAMATIC.
IF WE TRY TO TAKE WHAT COULD BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR
[00:25:05]
ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES, TRY TO REALLY MITIGATE IMPACTS ON LAND USE AND PUT IT LITERALLY TOP OF THE SCHOOL.WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PLANNING UNDERSTAND THE FLEXIBILITY OF YOU CAN DO ON SECURITY, OPERATIONS, ACCESS, SHARED PARKING.
PARKING WOULD STILL BE, PARKING IS ABOVE GRADE WITCHES HAPPEN TO PUT ABOVE GRADE ON THIS PARTICULAR TEST FIT.
WE MIGHT MITIGATE SOME OF THE FUTURE EXPANSION CONCERNS WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES.
WE HAVE OPERATIONS AND SECURITY CONCERNS WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH.
AS PREFERRED, WITH HER CONCERNS ABOUT THAT POSSIBLE LOCATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.
ONE MENTIONED ONE THING WILL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT WHEN WE COME BACK.
THE DESIGN HARD ON THIS PRODUCT INTO ZERO WHICH IS NO COMPROMISE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO GET ALL THE LITTLE BUT TAKE ON ALL THE ROOFS AND USE OF PHOTO BUT TAKE ON THE ACTUAL SITE.
THAT COULD POSSIBLY TAKE UP OTHER LAND THAT WOULD BE TO SUPPORT THE SCHOOL PROGRAM TO MEET OUR NET ZERO RICE ABOUT USING IT FOR ALTERNATIVE IS POSSIBLE ACTUALLY RESULT IN EXACERBATE ON USE OF THIS BUT THE TOPIC OF TOUR DECISION-MAKING.
THOSE ARE THE HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARIES.
WE TRY TO LISTEN TO ERIKA TO GET FEEDBACK FROM Y'ALL ABOUT WHAT WILL HELP YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION ERIKA?
THEY'RE HOPING WE HAVE A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL OF WHAT IS DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT WORKLOAD HOUSING.
IT IS THAT WE WILL MOVE THAT DIRECTION ANY CONCERNS OR THINGS YOU WANT US TO ADDRESS WHETHER IT BE IN A SEPARATE BUILDING OR AS PART OF IT AND THEN CERTAINLY ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE DIFFICULT LOCATION LOCATIONS WERE LOOKING AT.
WHERE HAVING A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENT ON MONDAY JANUARY, WE HAVE 26.
MONDAY GENERALLY 25 TO DISCUSS THE CO-LOCATION SPECIFICALLY WITH THE COMMUNITY.
WE WILL GATHER ALL OF THEIR COMMENTS TO HEALTH.
FEBRUARY 4 WERE ASKING FOR DECISION ON THIS CO-LOCATION PIECE.
WE COULD GO TO THE FINAL SLIDE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU MISS ERIKA AND MR. DAWUD.
IT IS THE DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL PROGRAMS PLANNING I WILL ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT MISS ERIKA.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT.
WE DO WANT A SHIFT AT SOME I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US OF DISCUSSION.
NEED TO DELVE AROUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WERE SET IN SCHOOL HOPING WE COULD REALLY GET SOME INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK SUBTOPIC IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I REALLY DO NOTICE SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH 4 BACK OVER TO YOU MADAM CHAIRS ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MAY HAVE.
WE WILL START WITH MRS. GENTRY.
>> THIS WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.
I HAVE ANOTHER 2-PARTER APPEARANCE AS A CLARIFICATION.
I DO FOR THAT NEXT STEP MAKE IT VERY CLEAR.
[00:30:06]
TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE TEST FITLY REITERATE TOUR SALT BUT THE VOTE ON FEBRUARY 4 A VOTE THIS WAS REALLY AND AND UNDERSTAND AND JUST PROOF THAT SPACING WAS AVAILABLE.I THINK THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING BUT I'D LOVE TO GET THE CONFIRMATION ON THAT.
YOU WILL JUST BE VOTING ON WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED.
>> TO THOROUGHLY CLARIFY THIS CO-LOCATION QUESTION.
THE VOTE JUST SAY THERE WILL BE LOCATION OR WILL THE VOTE BE US NAMING THE TYPE OF CO-LOCATION THAT WOULD BE THERE?
>> WE WILL BE WORKING ON SPECIFIC LANGUAGE.
OUR AIM IS TO HAVE A VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE CO-LOCATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPECIFICALLY.
THERE'S CO-LOCATION, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THEN OTHER TYPES OF CO-LOCATION FROM UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY.
THIS COULD BE MORE IN THE FORM OF GUIDANCE.
SOME OF THOSE THINGS WILL ULTIMATELY BE PRIORITIZED AS WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGETING.
WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE CITY AGENCIES.
IT WILL BE LIKE YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE YES, DCH US, NUMBER THAT'S NOT WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR.
WERE LOOKING YOU WOULD LIKE THE CO-LOCATION OF AFFORDABLE AND IF THERE ANY OTHER DIRECTION REGARDING CO-LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD WANTS TO GIVE US OF COURSE WE WILL WELCOME THAT.
WITH STORM IN TERMS OF WHAT I NEED.
TO THE DEGREE THE LANGUAGE FOR THE MOTIONS CAN BE YOU KNOW KIND OF WITH SUFFICIENT TIME PRIOR.
SO EVERYONE NOT JUST THE BOARD MEMBERS BUT THE COMMUNITY REALLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT REPORTING FOR AND MAY BE MORE SPECIFICALLY BUT WERE NOT VOTING ON ON FEBRUARY 4 IS IN SCOPE AND WHAT'S NOT.
BEFORE GO AHEAD MAKE A COMMENT NOW.
OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT I'VE TRIED TO USE AS SCHOOL BOARD TO BE, I DON'T WANT 20 YEARS OR NOT A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER TO SHAKE THEIR HEAD AND BE THINKING MAN, WHY TO THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS DO THAT.
I WOULD SAY AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN OF THE SCHOOL BOARD URGENCY REALLY URGENCY BORDERED ON CRISIS ABOUT IMAGINE WHICH DECISION THE WAY LIMITED WE ARE.
ON THE FLIPSIDE TO HAVE THAT CRISTOBAL AND I DON'T KNOW BUT WILL NEED 20 YEARS IN THE FUTURE WHICH IS WHY DO LIKE ONE OF HER ACCOUNT DECISIONS, CAN BE DECISION PROOF AND FLEXIBLE APPRECIATE THE SLIDES WERE LAID OUT ABOUT SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS BEFORE MYSELF VERY PERSUADED ABOUT THE VALUE OF BUILDING SOMETHING THAT CAN BE USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES NOW, BUT THE THOUGHT ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMED INTO STUDENT PURPOSES UNRELATED DATE IF NEEDED.
CERTAINLY WE HAVE A NEED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE NEEDS NOW.
CURRENTLY LEASING QUITE EXPENSIVE SPACE.
IT'S EXPENSIVE AND IT DOESN'T PROVIDE THE THINGS WE NEED IN TERMS OF PARKING FOR THE THINGS.
IT SEEMS STRANGE FOR ME FO US NOT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE SETTING OURSELVES UP SO WERE NO LONGER HAVE TO LEASE CENTRAL OFFICE SPACE.
[00:35:03]
I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE A MUCH MORE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO.THANKS AGAIN FOR THE CLARIFICATIONS ABOUT WHAT WE WILL BE VOTING ON.
I WANTED TO THROW MY 2 CENTS IN THERE WHILE I WAS ON MY HEARING.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, VERY THOROUGH AND WE.
THE POINT PROGRAM THE DECISION HERE.
LOSE SIGHT OF THAT WOMAN TALKED ABOUT THAT SAME CONSIDERED THAT PROCEDURALLY BEFORE THE HORSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WERE MAKING THE DECISION ABOUT BEFORE PROGRAM.
I GUESS A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN QUESTION ON THAT.
I DID HEAR THE PRESENTATION WHAT THE CASE IS FOR THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM WHY ONE OF THESE CO-LOCATION OPTIONS MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THE OTHER.
I COULD SPECULATE MY COMMENTS WOULD DOVE ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID.
I CAN SEE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE EXIST.
WHAT IS THE RENT SAVINGS THAT WEAKNESSES ON THE SITE BECAUSE A LOT OF MONEY I THINK WASTE RIGHT NOW CENTRAL OFFICE TO HAVE A PAY RENT ON THAT.
I KNOW THE CENTRAL OFFICE BUILDING RIGHT NOW HAVE THINGS LIKE THE SATELLITE.
WE HAVE THINGS THAT ARE ACADEMIC.
IF THAT'S CAN CREATE ACADEMIC SYNERGIES THAT ARE VALUABLE.
THAT WOULD BE ALIGNED WITH THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM.
I CAN SEE ARGUMENT FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THE SITE.
WITH REGARD TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING I HAVEN'T HEARD THE CASE TERMS OF THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM FOR WHY THAT SHOULD BE INTERPRETED IN TERMS OF ACADEMIC SPACE.
SHARE THE CONCERN WITH MS. GENTRY ABOUT OUR SPACE BEING VERY LIMITED AND THE LAND IS SO LIMITED IN THE CITY AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE CONVERSATION IN THE CITY 'S DOCUMENTS LAND WHAT SITES.
IT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME VISION TO UNDERSTAND MEDIC CASE FOR EACH CO-LOCATION THE ACADEMIC SYNERGIES.
THE FINANCIAL AND OTHER SORTS OF THINGS THE FORTIVO HOUSING AND QUESTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY AS TO WHETHER THIS IS A IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA LAWYER SO THE LAW SOMETHING THE CONCERT CONCERNS ON BOARD.
OPTION BEFORE WE WOULD CONSIDER IT.
I HOPE THE EVENTS OF THE NEXT MEETING WE CAN HAVE MORE CLARITY ON WHIDBEY HUTCHINGS OPINIONS ARE ON HIS COGEN PROJECTS.
HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE WE MAXIMIZE THAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT RESOURCE.
I WROTE DOWN FOLLOWING UP ACADEMIC SYNERGY THAT WERE EXPLORING.
THE LEGAL OPINION ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING POSSIBLE SITES AND THE POSITION OR STANCE FROM DOCTOR HUTCHINGS.
>> OF HIS ESSAY, REALLY WERE TRYING TO GET TO IS WHETHER AFFORDABLE HOUSING DIRECTION WANT TO GO.
IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
AS WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO TATIAN SOMETHING THAT REALLY SOLIDIFIED.
WE NEED TO KNOW ARE GOING TO PURSUE PORTABLE HOUSING OR NOT? I THINK REGARDS TO EDUCATION PLANNING PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL PLANNING.
OF 3 FINALLY SOME OF HER EDUCATIONAL PLANNING COMPONENTS WE WILL BE DEALING WITH WHICH RUNNING OUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WERE DEALING WITH.
[00:40:01]
HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE TRYING TO WORK WITH.THE CHEMISTRY TEMPESTS IN THE SATELLITE CAMPUS IN THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA CAMPUS.
THERE ARE THESE FACTORS OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT.
WE NEED TO GET TO IS, DOES THE BOARD WAS? HE WILL BE.
FORMER TC WILLIAMS. THAT IS A HUGE DESIGN PHASE.
AS FOR MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE THAT WHATEVER DIRECTION IF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS GOING TO BE PART OF THIS PLANNING MOVING FORWARD.
THAT'S THE KEY THING WE NEED TO KNOW.
>> YEAH, THAT'S HELPFUL DOCTOR HUTCHINGS.
THAT GOES BACK TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION IF I HOW IN YOUR OPINION STAFFS OPINION HOW THIS IS ALIGNED WITH THE ACADEMIC PROBABLY.
HAVING TEACHERS WHO ARE CLOSER TO THEIR STUDENTS IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND LIVING IN TH COMMUNITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I COULD SEE CERTAIN ARGUMENTS ON BOTH SIDES.
A FIGHT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE TEACHERS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS.
MAYBE THE ARGUMENT SHIFTS THAT IT'S NOT TEACHERS.
I THANK VOTING ARC WAY WITHOUT UNDERSTAND WITH EDUCATIONAL VISION IS DIFFICULT FOR ME.
THE MORE INFORMATION GET ON THAT BEING TO MAKE A DECISION.
NEXT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE AGITATED THIS OF US LOOKING THROUGH AND WHAT EDUCATION BLIND TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WILL SAY AFFORDABLE SCHOOLS WILL HAVE I THINK WE DOESN'T EXIST BY SAYING, EDUCATION IS HAVING THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THIS CAMPUS.
I DON'T SEE US COMING TO THE BOARD WITH RESEARCH THAT STATES THAT.
I THANK YOU BRING UP SOME OF THE GOOD POINTS THAT I HOPE CAN HELP TO THE DECISION HOW COULD THIS AFFORDABLE NATIONAL PROGRAMMING BUBBLE HOUSING POTENTIALLY IMPACT OUR GROWTH BECAUSE AFFORDABLE AND, I DON'T KNOW HOW FLEXIBLE AFFORDABLE OUTDATED TO USE THAT SPACE NO SCHOOL SPACE.
ANY MOVE PEOPLE OUT OF 6 UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR 10 YEARS? HOW WOULD THAT WORK? I KNOW WE COULD PROTECT HOW WOULD THAT WORK? WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? THESE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT COULD HELP THE BOARD DETERMINE IF IT'S EVEN SOMETHING.
A PART OF OUR TEST FIT WAS TO DETERMINE IF THESE CO-LOCATION ARE FEASIBLE.
OKAY WILL NOW THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR YOU.
GOOD POINTS ABOUT DOES IT TIE TO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING? I CAN DEFINITIVELY TELL YOU AFFORDABLE HASN'T.
ADDITIONAL HOUSING WOULD SAY PUTTING UP RIGHT NEXT TO A SCHOOL OR THAT WOULD BE BEST PRACTICE AND EVERYBODY WOULD BE GOING IN THAT DIRECTION AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS MR. SUAREZ.
I THINK WHEN I SAY EDUCATIONAL ALIGNMENT OR WHATEVER I'M THINKING BOTH IN TERMS OF THAT MICROLEVEL PROGRAMMING ON THE SCHOOL SITE BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF THE LONGER-TERM PROGRAM FOR THE SCHOOL DIVISION AT LARGE.
YOU CAN ASSUME OUT AND ASKED THE QUESTION OR YOU CAN ZOOM MORE INWARD.
AUTHOR MYSELF IN HERE JUST BECAUSE IN THINKING ABOUT YOUR EMPHASIS ON EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.
I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH THE SAME.
WITH SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN PARTICIPATING WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL DESIGN TEAM THE
[00:45:02]
FOCUS HAS REALLY BEEN ON HOW TO CREATE SMALLER LEARNING COMMUNITIES.THAT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOCUS ON HOW TO CREATE SMALLER LEARNING COMMITTEES AND A DESIGN THAT MAKES KIDS FOR EVEN IN A SCHOOL WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
THINKING ABOUT ENTER DISCIPLINARY LEARNING.
AT THIS MOMENT I DON'T THINK I COULD SAY THAT THE DESIGN, EDUCATION DESIGN DISCUSSIONS HAVE LENT THEMSELVES TOWARDS A NEED TO ADD A PORTABLE HOUSING.
WITHOUT I THINK MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOESN'T GIVE THE FLEXIBILITY THAT WE NEED.
I THINK OF DOCTOR POINT ABOUT YOU KNOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIVING.
IF WE NEEDED TO USE THE FUTURE WE COULD NOT EASILY MAKE A SHIFT.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ABILITY AS A PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL DESIGN SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE AS BASIS.
EVERY SINGLE SPACE ON THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO BE EFFECT ON PORTABLE FOOT LEAD TO THE FLEXIBILITY WE NEED.
I THINK MY LAST POINT WHICH IS BE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT YET.
MAYBE I SHOULD SAY HERE BUT, I WILL SAY I LIKE THE POINT TOURING THE POINTS ABOUT PARKING.
AVOID ANY SURPRISES WITH UNDERGROUND PARKING.
I THINK THAT COULD COME WITH UNDERGROUND PARKING IN TERMS OF COST.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
A DECISION OR MAKE IT NEXT WEEK BUT IT WAS PRESENTED TODAY AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING FOR US TO THINK ABOUT.
I SORT OF CHIMED IN BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATIONAL DESIGN AND THE TIME SAYING THE FOCUS ON EDUCATION AS A RELAY PROJECTS.
APPEARED, I HAVE MISS CINDY ANDERSON ONE.
IT'S BLUE AND THERE'S ARROWS AND IT'S A BULLISH ALL THE POWERPOINT TRICKS WE USE IN THE DIAGRAMS WE USE FOR DECISIONS WERE SIMPLE AS THAT ONE.
I WANT TO THANK MISS GENTRY BECAUSE I THINK SHE STATED CLEARLY MY OWN THINGS AFTER YEARS IN YOUR GROWTH OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THE DEGREE WHICH IS BEEN NEGLECTED.
ALSO CAN'T GET BEHIND THE IDEA OF USING WHAT COULD BE LEASE FOR FOR THIS.
I SEE MISS DEAN IS HERE WITH US TODAY.
MY SENSE ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS IT'S SORT OF OUT ON ITS OWN IF THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHOOTING WITH OTHER HOUSING NOT OF AND ACROSS THE STREET ALL BY ITSELF NEXT TO A SCHOOL SITE SIDE OF THE FACT THAT HE CAN STATE WAS MADE CLEAR IN THE POWER POINTS THAT BY DEDICATING SOME OF THE SPACE TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE ARE GIVING UP INTENTIONALLY OTHER SPACE THAT CAN BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.
THAT, CITY OFFICES, ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IF WE WERE TO USE IT FOR CITY OFFICES.
SIMILAR CITY OFFICES HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN CAN USE.
EXAMPLE, CITY OFFICES FOR THE EXTENSION FOR ATTENTION PROGRAM TAKE UP A LARGE SPACE OVER BLANKING ON THE NAME OF THE LARGE REC CENTER.
READ ABOUT POSSIBLY PLACING SWING SPACE.
THERE ARE CITY OFFICES THAT END UP IN FACT BEING THINGS THAT WE COULD USE WOULD BE NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO A CITY OFFICE.
IN FACT I THINK SOME OF THE SUGGESTED LOCATION OFFICES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO
[00:50:04]
OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES IN FAVOR OF.I'M VERY MUCH AGAINST THE IDEA OF USING THIS PLOT OF LAND FOR THE POSTED TO HEARING MRS. MICHAEL VEINS RESPONSE OR VIEWS ISOLATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING LIKE THAT AS OPPOSED TO INTEGRATING OTHER AREAS WHERE WE HAVE SO MANY BUILDINGS RENOWN THE CITY THAT ARE NOT USING, THEY ARE EMPTY.
IT SEEMS TO ME I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTEGRATED INTO THE CITY BETTER WAY.
APPROPRIATE SITE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF DIVORCE WILL HOUSING.. I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY.
I THINK WHEN THE CITY YEARS AGO.
THAT WE NEEDED ABOUT ALL CITY SPACES.
IN TERMS OF THE GREATEST NEEDS.
BECAUSE YOUR SERVING MANY OF THE FAMILY WHO WOULD AND SITUATION ARE SITTING WHETHER SPENDING BARTON HOUSING AND FOREGOING OTHER THINGS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLY.
I THINK WERE LOOKING ONLY AT ADDRESS THROUGH GOOD DESIGN YOU KNOW SECURITY CONCERNS AND OTHER CONCERNS.
THE SOMETHING FOR EXAMPLE THE CITY ALREADY HAD ANTS DOING.
WHETHER THROUGH PARTNERS OR THE BUILDING OF ATOMIC YARD.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF FIRST-COME EQUITY WAS HOW DO WE POTENTIALLY LOOK AT SPACES WHERE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OF OPPORTUNITY WHERE THIS WOULD ADD HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT AND ARE ALREADY HERE AND ALREADY STUDENTS.
SIMPLY LOOK OUT HOW TO BEST USE THE LAND THAT WE COULD CHECK IS THERE A WAY THING THAT RESPECTS THIS IS THE SCHOOL MIGHT NEED BUT ALSO SERVE.
STAND YOUR POINT THAT THERE ARE OTHER PLACES MAY BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I THINK THIS IS ONE WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF CONTROL AND LAND AND SO IT IS CHALLENGE BOTH AVAILABILITY.
I THINK ON THIS ROAD LOOKING AT IT THERE WAS A LOT OF SYNERGY WITH BOTH YOUR GOALS AND THE FACT THAT 57 PERCENT OF THE STUDENT QUALIFIED MEALS.
WE KNOW THIRD WE KNOW THERE ARE TEASING AFFORDABILITY NOTES ARE CITY HAS BEEN A LEADER IN TERMS OF INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.
WE'VE GONE TO MAKE SURE THAT I THINK 20 YEARS FROM WE MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE MIGHT'VE HAD IT.
YOU AND CITY COUNCIL WILL BE MAKING.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T ROLL OUT ANYTHING PREMATURELY.
WE LOOK TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE WE WANT TO KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY INCLUDING STUDENTS WOULD BENEFIT ABLE TO IDENTIFY AN AREA WHERE IT WOULD FULL OF REMISSIONS.
IN THIS LAND IS LIMITED FOR A LIMITED FIRST.
>> MAY ISLAND TO THE ANSWER TO PURSUE THAT FURTHER? ONLY QUESTION IS MAYBE I'M CONFUSED.
REMEMBER YEARS AGO CHANGE THAT AMAZING BOOK ABOUT INTEGRATED HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THE OCEAN TO PUT ALL THOSE AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS IT'S ISOLATING AND SEPARATING
[00:55:08]
PEOPLE ON A MAN BEFORE DIAGRAMS GIVEN TO US WERE CERTAINLY HAVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PUMPED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SYSTEM.THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD BE EVEN POSSIBLE IF IT WERE IN THE MIDDLE.
THE IDEA WILL HOUSING WOULD BE MORE SENSE TO THE UNITS SO FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVED WITH ORDER WHO WON'T NECESSARILY NEED WE WILL HAVE AN INTEGRATED SITUATION.
AGREE WITH YOU MANY OF OUR FAMILIES AFFORDABLE HOUSE GATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PORTABLE HOUSING.
>> I'M SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING.
WHAT YOU MENTION IS WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER PRACTICE IS A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF UNITS TO DO THAT.
LOOKING AT THE DANG SOURCES AVAILABLE AND A GREAT DEAL OF THE COST THE GOLDSTEIN COME AFFORDABLE WE HAVE THAT AND WILL HAVE THAT AT THE HERITAGE OF OLD TOWN.
OF LAND WILL LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THIS.
WE ALSO THINK WERE NOT FAR FROM A BEST PRACTICE SPENT MUCH AFFORDABLE HOUSE IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I THINK MOST PEOPLE I KNOW ONE OF DONE WINDSHIELD TOURS WITH PEOPLE IT FITS IN SEAMLESSLY WITH EVERYTHING AROUND IT.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN TERMS OF WHAT WOULD WE BE CREATING A COMMUNITY THAT'S ONLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT I THINK WHEN WE ARE DOING THAT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF OPPORTUNITY RELATE BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF OTHER MARKET RATE HOUSING AROUND.
I DON'T WANT TO MISS CUSSING I WOULD BE IN ANY WAY IN FAVOR WE HAVE SET ASIDE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I WANTED TO JUST ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I WANTED TO EXPLAIN WHY BE INAPPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING RIGHT THERE.
>> OKAY HAVE MISS ANDERSON, MISS GREENE AND THE MISS NO ONE.
>> THEY KEEP MADAM CHAIR I WANT TO THANK MISS GENTRY FOR LAYING OUT THE DECISION OF THE DECISIONS WE NEED TO MAKE.
SOME OF MY QUESTIONS ABOUT CO-LOCATION I WILL SEND BY EMAIL.
THEY'RE NOT ONES THAT HAVE UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
I SO APPRECIATE MISS GENTRY SAYING THAT THINGS THAT 20 YEARS FROM NOW WE MIGHT THINK OF.
THOSE DECISIONS THAT WERE 5060 YEARS AGO THAT I REGRET PERIODICALLY AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WE ARE NOW AT A POINT WHERE WE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME NUMBERS WE HAD AT THE PEAK SCHOOL YET WE HAVE SO MANY FEWER PARCELS OF LAND.
DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE PARKER OF A NOBLE LAND.
WE DON'T HAVE THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN OLD TOWN.
SURE THERE ARE BUT I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THEM.
THEN I SEE THE THINGS THAT MOMENT THAT SOMETIME IN THE 70S IT WAS SAID OB HAMMOND.
THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE HAMMON TO KNOW THAT AS WELL.
BECAUSE HER BUILDINGS WERE ALL DONE AND THEY SUGGESTED THEY BUILD TOWNHOUSES ON GW.
THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT COME PERIODICALLY OVER THE DECADES.
SO WHILE I APPRECIATE I THINK DURING THE SAME TIME.
THINGS HAVE HAPPENED TO HER HOUSING STOCK THAT CRITTER HUGE PROBLEM THERE.
I THINK WE DON'T HAVE THE RECENT LAND TO ACCOMMODATE AND HELP WITH THAT WHEREAS I AM ALL FOR CREATIVITY AND ALL FOR WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY AND OUR EXISTING LAND WE JUST SIMPLY NEED TO WERE STRUGGLING TO HAVE ENOUGH
[01:00:02]
SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR VERY OWN STUDENTS.WE WANT TO BE CREATIVE AND HAVE SPACES WE COULD OFFER THEM BECAUSE THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF THE TYPE OF SPACES AS WELL.
IN MANY CASES REQUIRES MORE SPACE AND IN SOME CASES MAY BE LESS IN TERMS OF TEACHERS OFFICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I'M INTERESTED IN I WOULD SAY BE INTERESTED IN.
SO I LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM ABOUT THAT.
ALSO THE ONE THAT ME IN SOME WAYS IS BUILDING YOU MENTION I WONDER IF BUILDING IT HIGHER BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU LESS SURFACE AREA FOR SQUARE FOOTAGE.
I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE THE GROUND BECAUSE WE HAVE DROWNED INSTEAD BECAUSE WE BUILT IT HIGHER BEEN CLOSE OF THE QUESTIONS WILL GIVE YOU TODAY.
I CANNOT SUPPORT PUTTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE WE NEED THE SPACE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR THINK HE WAS THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL DISCUSSION.
I'M SO GLAD MAJORITY OF US ON THE SAME PAGE.
IT'S NOT SAFE TO HAVE HOUSINGS.
THE LIFE OF ME I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT.
I THINK OTHERS ARE STILL VERY CONFUSED ABOUT THIS.
BUT, I'M GLAD WE ARE HERE AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT AND WE CAN TAKE THIS VOTE ON FEBRUARY 4 TO PUT THIS TO BED.
I JUST HOPE WITHOUT LIMITS GOALS THAT WE WILL KEEP EVERY BOOK AND CONTINUE BALLS FOR THE CAPACITIES WE NEED FOR BEING SAID, I WANTED TO PUT MY THOUGHTS IN THERE.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY ASK A QUESTION.
FIRST OF THINK IT TO THE STAFF.
I KNOW THIS IS A BRILLIANTLY MONUMENTAL TASK.
I APPRECIATE EVERYONE AS WILL AS THE CITY.
WE HAVE A LOT OF TALENTED FOLKS ON THE CITY AND THAT ARE SUPPORTING US WITH THE WORK SO WE APPRECIATE THEIR WORK AS WELL.
I'M CURIOUS TO WHAT WORK AT THIS POINT WITH THE CONVERSATION THAT'S BEEN HAD INNOCENT DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE.
HAVE WE CONSULTED WITH EDUCATION DESIGN TEAM? I KNOW I MENTIONED THEM IN THE PAST BUT HIM HE SHOULD SUCH A PHENOMENAL GROUP OF TEASY TEACHERS THAT ARE ON THE GROUND INFORM US AS TO WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE THEY SEE IN TERMS OF STUDENT AND EDUCATION NEEDS OSCARS NUMBER ONE.
AT THIS POINT WHAT IS THE OUTREACH FOR THE EDUCATION DESIGN TEAM TO THEY HAVE BACK THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE BOARD TO KNOW.
>> CAN I CLARIFY ARE YOU SPEAKING WITH THE EDUCATIONAL DESIGN TEAM DIRECTLY ABOUT THE CO-LOCATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR IN GENERAL?
I KNOW IT'S ONE OF THE DECISION POINTS WE ARE INTERESTED IN AS A BOARD AT SOME POINT.
IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE EDUCATION DESIGN'S FEEDBACK.
I'M NOT DISCUSSING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT ALL.
I'M JUST TALKING IN GENERAL TO THINGS TO THEY SEE SOMETHING ELSE? IN GENERAL, I WOULD BE CURIOUS ABOUT THEIR FEEDBACK AT SOME POINT.
I DON'T MEAN THIS BUT AS OF HOUSING.
SORRY CAN WE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THAT.
I MAKE SURE WE GIVE YOU THE ACCURATE.
HE IS OUR LIAISON FOR THE EDUCATIONAL DESIGN TEAM.
I WANT HIM TO BE ABLE TO GIVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING.
I DO KNOW THE REIGNITED OUR EDUCATIONAL DESIGN TEAM.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HIM TALK THROUGH WHAT THEY'RE DISCUSSING AND WHAT TYPE OF IMPLANT?
THEN SHARE WITH HIM ONE MY FAVORITE TOPICS IS THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMING.
[01:05:01]
THEY LET THE VERONICA NOLAN QUESTION.I'M TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD DISCUSSION.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT LOOKS LIKE THIS MEETING WAS NOT LISTED ON THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS PAGE.
IT'S AN ELECTRONIC SCHOOL BOARD BUT NOT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS PAGE.
EVEN HOW MUCH INTEREST THERE IS IN THIS TOPIC I WANTED TO FIND OUT.
I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY AN OVERSIGHT.
PARTICULARLY WHEN IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S THIS HIGH-PROFILE IN OUR COMMUNITY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THAT LISTED ON THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS PAGE.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS I'VE HAD ABOUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL NETWORK FROM THE START IS OUR PROJECTED ENROLLMENT GROWTH.
I KEEP WANTING TO EMPHASIZE AT THIS POINT THAT THE CAPACITY AT KING STREET IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR 2900 STUDENTS.
THIS NEW BUILDING THAT WERE BUILDING FOR 1600 STUDENTS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE PROJECTIONS THAT YOU SHOWED US THIS BUILDING IS NOT OPEN UNTIL FY 24.
PROJECT AND UN-ROMAN AT THAT TIME IS 4768.
THAT'S ALREADY AT, OR EXCEEDING CAPACITY WHEN THE BUILDING OPENS.
I KNOW THERE'S TALK ABOUT HOW EDUCATION IS CHANGING AND STUDENTS ME BE ABLE TO DO MORE VIRTUAL LEARNING IN THE FUTURE BUT, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE CAPACITY FOR THEM IN OUR BUILDINGS.
>> THIS TOTALS 4500 STUDENTS AND WHEN YOU LOOK THE THE PROJECTIONS, THIS BUILDING WON'T HOPE UNTIL FY24 AND THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT IS 4768 AND THAT'S ALREADY EXCEEDING CAPACITY WHEN THE BUILDING OPENS AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S TALK ABOUT HOW EDUCATION IS CHANGING AND STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DO MORE VIRTUAL LEARNING IN THE FUTURE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE CAPACITY IN OUR BUILDING AND, YOU KNOW, I'M OF THE.
THAT IF WE CAN BUILD OUT MORE SPACE FOR STUDENTS, WE SHOULD REALLY LOOK AT DOING THAT NOW.
AND IT TIES INTO ANOTHER COMMENT I WANTED TO SHARE ABOUT THE LANDMARK PROJECTS.
LIKE MANY PEOPLE IN THE CITY, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE LANDMARK REDEVELOPMENT AND EXCITED THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL STAY IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IT WILL BE IMPROVED.
IT WAS DISAPPOINTING WHEN THE PRESS RELEASE WENT OUT TO FIND OUT THERE WOULDN'T BE A SCHOOL ON THE SITE SINCE THAT WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME AND I'VE BEEN GOING TO SOME OF THE MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AROUND THAT PROPERTY.
I JUST HAVE TO SAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS COMMENTED AT A MEETING THIS WEEK AT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS THAT ACPS IS EXAMINING THEIR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS AND THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE BY ADVISORY THAT WE SHOULD FIGURE IT OUT AND I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR NOVEMBER WORK SESSION WE HAD A PRESENTATION ABOUT OUR CIP BUDGET WHICH SHOWED OUR GROWTH AND THE SLIDE SAID THAT EVEN WITH THE PROPOSED TENURE INVESTMENT WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY, WE ARE EXPECTED TO BE 2,000 SEATS SHORT IN FIVE YEARSES.
IT SAID WE'RE TRYING TO MAXIMIZE CAPACITY ON THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, OUR EXISTING PROJECTS THAT WE'RE, LIKE, RENOVATING AND NOT MEETING THE NEED.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND LANDMARK, NOW THERE'S TALK ABOUT THE GREENHILL SIDE AND ABOUT THE POTOMAC YARDSIDE, I'M NOT CONVINCED WE'LL GET MORE LAND FOR ACPS.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROJECT PROCESS, WE HAD A BROKER THAT LOOKED AT LAND THAT WE COULD PURCHASE AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO LAND AVAILABLE FOR US TO PURCHASE.
SO MY REAL QUESTION IS, WHAT IS OUR STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THE TWO THOUSAND SEAT SHORTAGE IN FIVE YEARS? THAT'S ONE OF MY QUESTIONS AND THEN I DO AGREE, YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT I'M NOT CLEAR WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO MAKE THE DECISION ABOUT COLLOCATION? I KNOW THE FACILITY MASTER PLAN PROCESS IS UNDERWAY AND I THINK THEIR DRAFT REPORT SHOULD BE COMING OUT SOON.
IF THERE'S ANY INSIGHT, I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS ABOUT THE TOTAL NEEDS OF THE CITY.
BUT I'M JUST NOT CLEAR ABOUT THE CRITERIA WE'RE USING AND I KNOW THERE WAS A SLIDE THAT SHOWED, OH, HERE IS WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS SUPPORTED FIELDS, TEAM CHILD DAYCARE AND IS IT WHATEVER PEOPLE FIELD LIKE THEY WANT OR WHAT IS THE CRITERIA SO THAT WE'RE MAKING A DECISION THAT WILL HAVE THE MOST IMPACT? AND ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION I THINK WOULD BE INTERESTING AROUND THIS CONVERSATION WITH HOUSING IS TO UNDERSTAND HOW MANY ACS STAFF MEMBERS ARE ACCESSING
[01:10:01]
EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY? WE KNOW ONLY A THIRD OF THE STAFF MEMBERS LIVE IN THE CITY? AND HOW MANY OF THEM WOULD BE ELIGIBLE OR WOULD EVEN BE INTERESTED? SO I DO THINK THAT IS A QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND THE VALUE THAT COMES FROM OUR STAFF MEMBERS BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN THE CITY.AND I THINK THAT IS ONE ANSWER THAT I THINK ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO INFORM THIS CONVERSATION.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO OUR PLANS FOR ADDRESSING OUR TWO THOUSAND SEAT SHORTAGE IN FIVE YEARS, I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THAT.
>> SO I'LL HAVE ERICA ELABORATE ON THE PROJECTION SIDE OF THINGS.
WE ARE HAVING IN APRIL, WE'LL BE MEETING WITH THE BOARD TO SHARE AN ACQUISITION PLANNING, TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE POTENTIAL LAND ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.
WE'VE CONDUCTED THIS IN THE PAST, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS WAS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHERE WE WERE LOOKING AT WHAT LAND WAS AVAILABLE PRIOR TO A GLOBAL PANDEMIC AND BUSINESSES AND THINGS THAT NOW ARE MOVING OUT OF THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA AND NO LONGER WILL BE HERE IN THE FUTURE.
SO THERE'S POTENTIALLY A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US AND THE CITY MANAGER STRESSED THAT DURING OUR JOINT SESSION.
AND WE'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF THESE POTENTIAL LAND ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.
AND SO WE WILL BE SHARING AN UPDATE WITH THE BOARD IN APRIL.
AND ALSO, IT WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THE POTAMIC YARD SPACE AND TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT WE EXPLORED DURING OUR HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT KIND OF WITH EXPLORATION COMPONENT.
BUT THAT IS SCHEDULED TO COME TO THE BOARD IN APRIL.
MISS GULICK, IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGY BEHIND THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS.
SO THE TWO NOW SEAT SHORTAGE IS THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT, I THINK K12 TO THE TOTAL CAPACITY WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND IF YOU KIND OF FOLLOW THAT LINE, IT'S NOT UNLIKE WHERE WE ARE NOW.
IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ADDING SCHOOLS IN THIS THE ENROLLMENT AND WE CONTINUE THAT WAY.
IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE WON'T HAVE SPACE FOR THOSE TWO THOUSAND KIDS BUT TO SAY THEY WILL BE A CLASSROOM SMALLER THAN APPROPRIATE.
I KNOW THE WAY IT'S CONVEYED IS CONFUSING AND THAT BEING SAID, OUR CAPITAL BUDGET IS ALREADY THE LARGEST THAT IT'S BEEN.
WE'RE REPLACING SEVERAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND ADDING CAPACITY TO THEM.
BUT A LOT OF IT IS A BALANCE, DO YOU BUILD A NEW SCHOOL AT POTAMIC YARD OR ADD WHAT CAPACITY YOU CAN THERE? AND WE DON'T HAVE ENDLESS FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE PROJECTS AT ONCE? I THINK YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT.
SORRY, THAT'S MY DOG SHAKING IF YOU HEARD THAT.
PREVIOUSLY, WHEN THE SCHOOL BOARD PROPOSED A CIP THAT ADDRESSED ALL OF OUR CAPITAL NEEDS IN THE TENURE AND NOT SOMETHING FEASIBLE FOR ALL OF OUR CAPACITY NEEDS IN THE TENURE AND NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE COUNCIL AND CITY TO SUPPORT.
SO I THINK THE LAND CONVICTION CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN THE SPRING WILL HELP SHED LIGHT ON THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE DO HAVE AND I THINK WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE THINGS AND WHAT OUR PRIORITIES AND DO WE NEED TO REPLACE MCARTHUR AND ADD CAPACITY TO THAT SCHOOL? OR SHOULD WE BE FOCUSED ON THAT SCHOOL BECAUSE ALL OF THESE THINGS COST MONEY EVEN IF WE GET LAND? THAT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT WHERE THE TWO THOUSAND SEATS WILL COME FROM BUT TO LOOK AT IT FROM THAT LENSE.
>> I HAVE MISS GENTRY AND I THINK WE'LL WRAP IT UP.
[01:15:03]
>> I PUT MYSELF BACK IN BECAUSE I REALIZED THERE WAS A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT I WANTED TO MAKE WHICH WAS AND I WANT TO I REALLY APPRECIATE, I THINK I REALLY VALUE ALL OF THE REALLY GREAT COMMENTS THAT LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS MADE AND I THINK THOSE WERE GREAT QUESTIONS AND GREAT POINTS AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR THAT.
THE LAST THING TO MENTION, AS HAS BEEN EXPLAINED IN THE SLIDES.
THERE'S NO VERSION IN WHICH WE ARE NOT DOING REZONING.
AND REZONING INVOLVES A LEGAL PROCESS.
WE WHO LIVE IN THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA KNOW HOW SOMETIMES THAT LEGAL PROCESS CAN GO AND IF MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF SAID PROCESS, THE POTENTIAL LEGAL REMEDIES THAT THEY MIGHT TRY TO PUT IN PLACE IN ORDER TO STOP THE PROCESS, WHICH IS THEIR RIGHT, OF COURSE, AND WE CAN'T DICTATE THAT.
BUT THAT ABSOLUTELY COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR TIMELINE.
THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING LATER THAN WE WOULD LIKE, RIGHT? WE ARE ALREADY IN WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND IN TERMS OF MEETING OUR CAPACITY NEEDS AND BEHIND IN TERMS OF CATCH UP.
SO IT'S I KNOW SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE HAVE TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS OR UNPOPULAR DECISIONS.
AND SOMETIMES YOU DO NEED TO DO THAT.
BUT THIS IS AN INSTANCE AS I MENTIONED, ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE PROVIDED OUR MISSION FOCUS IS ON AND THE EDUCATION OF THE KIDS AND THE CAPACITY FOR THAT AND ON TOP OF THAT, THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME REAL BACKLASH IN THE COMMUNITY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY A PROJECT THAT REALLY CANNOT BE DELAYED ANY LONGER WITHOUT SOME SIGNIFICANT REPERCUSSIONS TO OUR STUDENTS.
I WANTED TO PUT IN THAT LAST POINT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I WOULD END BY SAYING AND EMPHASIZING BY SAYING FLEXIBILITY, FLEXIBILITY IS KEY AND THANK YOU, EVERYONE AND IT IS NOW TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE MEETING, POLICIES.
[2. Revisions to A, B, C and E Policies and Regulations]
WE HAVE, AS IS OUR NEW PRACTICE, WE HAVE TEN POLICIES AND REGULATIONS TONIGHT THAT ARE UP FOR REVISION.AND TONIGHT, AND NEXT WEEK, I'LL PREVIEW FOR YOU TONIGHT AND NEXT WEEK ARE A BIT OF A MIXED BAG ON POLICIES AND WE ARE DOING A BUTT OF CLEAN UP FROM POLICIES THAT, PERHAPS, WENT TO THE BOARD FOR INFORMATION, BUT DUE TO THE SHUTDOWN, IT DID NOT RETURN TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL OR, PERHAPS, A QUESTION HAD BEEN ASKED OR A DELAY HAD BEEN REQUESTED OR FOR VARIOUS REASONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHUTDOWN AND THEN HELPFUL AND OUR AGENDAS WERE REMOVING FORWARD AND STRAGGLERS TO COME BACK AND A POLICIES FROM A FEW POLICY AREAS AND THAT WILL BE THE CASE NEXT WEEK, AS WELL, AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED FORWARD.
SO WE WILL START THIS EVENING WITH POLICY AC, WHICH IS NONDISCRIMINAITON.
AND THIS WAS LAST REVISED BY THE BOARD IN DECEMBER OF 2019.
THIS IS CODE 2.2 3900 KNOWN AS THE VIRGINIA HUMAN RIGHT'S ACT.
AND, ALSO, IT'S ENACTMENT OF 22.1.2 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION.
FOR OUR PURPOSES, THE IMPACT ON THE POLICY IS THAT, THE CATEGORIES OF CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE PROTECTED BY LAWS AS FAR AS DISCRIMINATION GOES HAVE BEEN EXPANDED AND THEY WILL NOW INCLUDE CHILDBIRTH AND STATUS AS A VETERAN.
OUR NEXT POLICY IS AD AND THIS, WE HAVE NO PROPOSED REVISIONS FOR, BUT AS YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM THERE, IT HAS NOT BEEN REVISED SINCE 2013 AND THIS FALLS OUTSIDE OF OUR REQUIREMENTS TO REVIEW THIS POLICY EVERY FIVE YEARS.
SO THIS IS COMING TO FOR THAT REASON.
AND IT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE NOVEMBER 14TH, 2019 WORK SESSION, BUT AT THAT TIME, IT WAS REQUESTED TO DELAY THE APPROVAL UNTIL AFTER THE NEW STRATEGIC PLAN WAS APPROVED IS THAT WE COULD SYNC THIS POLICY TO COME UP FOR REVIEW EACH TIME WE HAVE A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN TO BE ALIGNED.
[01:20:01]
AND OUR THIRD POLICY IS AE, SCHOOL DIVISION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.AND AGAIN, THIS HAS NO CHANGES SINCE WE ALL DISCUSSED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND THERE WAS A REQUEST TO DELAY UNTIL AFTER THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND SO IT WOULD BE ALIGNED.
THIS COMES BECAUSE IT HAS HIT THE FIVE YEAR REVIEW CYCLE.
AND OUR FOURTH POLICY IS BBA, SCHOOL BOARD POWERS AND DUTIES.
AND THE REVISION TONIGHT, IF WE CONTROL DOWN A LITTLE BIT ON THIS ONE, IS TO REFLECT AMENDMENT CODE 22.1 79.
AND NOW WHAT THIS IF WE CONTROL DOWN FURTHER, PLEASE, THERE WE GO, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AND THIS IS IN POLICY CBA, THIS IS IN BOTH POLICIES AND CURRENTLY, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO REVIEW AND IDENTIFY AND REPORT CRITICAL SHORTAGES OF TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL BY SUBJECT MATTER TO THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT AND TO VRS, A VIRGINIA REQUIREMENT SYSTEM.
AND THIS PARTICULAR SECTION WAS AMENDED TO INCLUDE IDENTIFYING CRITICAL SHORTAGES OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS IN THAT ANNUAL REPORTING, AS WELL.
AND NEXT, WE HAVE BBFA, CONFLICT OF INTERESTS AND DISCLOSURE OF ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND THERE IS ONE VERY MINOR CHANGE ON PAGE 12 BUT A TIMELY CHANGE AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE ANNUAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND DISCLOSING THEIR ECONOMIC INTERESTS.
THE CHANGE IS THAT THE CLERK OF THE BOARD IS NOW REQUIRED IF THE CLERK RELEASES ANY DISCLOSURE FORMS TO NOW REDACT ANY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER'S PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS PRIOR TO THAT RELEASE.
IN ADDITION TO REDACTING THE BOARD MEMBER'S RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS AND ANY PERSONAL TELEPHONE NUMBER AND THE SIGNATURE.
SO THIS HAS BEEN EXPANDED THIS PAST YEAR BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ADD A PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS TO THE LISTED ITEMS REDACTED PRIOR TO RELEASE.
AND THIS IS TIMELY AND I'LL JUST GIVE A REMINDER TO THE BOARD THAT THESE DISCLOSURE FORMS ARE DUE BY FEBRUARY 1ST.
AND OUR NEXT POLICY IS BCS, ADVISORY COMMITTEES TO AND THIS POLICY AND SUSAN, IT'S FINE IF YOU WANT TO PULL UP THE POLICY OR REGULATION.
THEY HAVE THE SAME CHANGE, BUT WE WERE TRYING TO CLARIFY WHILE OUR STANDING COMMITTEES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 17 VOTING MEMBERS, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO AD HOC COMMITTEES OR OTHER COMMITTEES THAT ARE COMMITTED UNDER BCE THAT THE CAP ON THE NUMBER OF VOTING MEMBERS TO THE STANDING ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
SO IF WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE A REDISTRICTING REVIEW COMMITTEE AGAIN OR ANOTHER COMMITTEE THAT IS ESSENTIALLY AN AD HOC FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND IN OUR CURRENT REGULATION, THAT WAS UNCLEAR.
AND NEXT POLICY IS BDD AND ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION IN MEETING FROM REMOTE LOCATIONS AND THE ONLY CHANGE IN THIS POLICY IS IN THE FIRST SENTENCE AND IT IS TO REFLECT THE ACTS OF ASSEMBLY, CHAPTER 1283, SECTION 4 0.01 AND YOU ARE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THIS NEW PROVISIONALLION AS THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS OF 2020, THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND THE REASON THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ADD TO OUR POLICY IS BECAUSE THIS WAS THE AUTHORIZATION THAT ALLOWS ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION OF MEETINGS DURING STATES OF EMERGENCY OUT OF THIS BOARD AND THIS PROVISION IN THE LAW OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND SITES THAT SUCH THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN AS WE ARE IN THE FIRST SENTENCE HERE IS WHAT ALLOWS THIS BOARD MEETING TO GO BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MERELY DISCUSSING THE ACTUAL EMERGENCY ITSELF.
AND SO, AS WE KNOW, THIS OBVIOUSLY WAS VERY UNEXPECTED, THIS PANDEMIC, AND IN CASE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, WE WANT THIS PROVISION IN HERE THAT
[01:25:05]
PROVIDES THE AUTHORITY FOR THE BOARD TO MEET ELECTRONICALLY IN SUCH SITUATIONS.THE NEXT POLICY IS CBA, QUALIFICATIONS AND DUTIES FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE REVISION IS ON PAGE TWO AND REFLECTS AMENDMENT 22.1 70.3, THE CHANGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER AND THAT EXPANDS TO REPORT ANY CRITICAL SHORTAGES OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS.
AND NEXT, WE HAVE CF, SCHOOL BUILDING ADMINISTRATION AND THIS POLICY DOES NOT HAVE PROPOSED CHANGES OTHER THAN UPDATING REFERENCES BUT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE THIS POLICY WAS REVIEWED AND SO, IT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD.
AND FINALLY POLICY EBCD AND ACCOMPANYING REGULATION, EBCDR AND WE COULD LOOK AT EITHER ONE.
THIS IS EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURES AND DELAYED OPENING.
WE HAVE MADE TWO MINOR CHANGES AND WE THINK THEY HAVE AN IMPACT AND WE ARE CHANGING THE TITLE TO SIMPLIFY IT IN THIS VERY UNUSUAL YEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD AND IT HAS BEEN QUITE IMPORTANT FOR STAFF MEMBERS TO BE AWARE OF WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL AND STAFF HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME LOCATING THIS POLICY BECAUSE OF THE LONG AND COMPLEX TITLE AND THAT IS NOT READILY APPARENT THAT THIS POLICY ADDRESSED ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL AND WHO NEEDS TO REPORT IN WHICH SITUATION AND WE HAVE TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT BY CHANGING THE TITLE AND MAKING IT EASIER FOR STAFF TO FIND AND IDENTIFY AND WHILE WE WERE DOING THAT, WE HAVE UPDATED THE TITLES IN SECTION 7 TO REFLECT THE REORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS SO THAT WE ARE UP TO DATE ON OUR TITLES SO EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE.
THOSE ARE THE POLICIES FOR THIS EVENING AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE HAVE DR. REEF FIRST.
>> I WAS WON DERING IF THE STATE IS DOING ANYTHING TO RECRUIT BUS DRIVES SINCE THEY ARE ASKING FOR THAT INFORMATION? DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT INTO THAT?
>> I DO NOT AND, PERHAPS, DR. HUTCHINGS DOES.
WE ARE DEFINITELY CONTINUING TO HAVE OUR PROMOTIONAL KIND OF LIKE OUTREACH TO RECRUIT, AS WELL AS RETAIN BUS DRIVERS, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD A REQUEST LIKE A RECRUITMENT EFFORT WHICH REALLY IS NEEDED.
>> I HAVE MISS GENTRY AND MISS SWAREZ.
>> I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, AND IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMMUNICATION AMONG ELECTED OFFICIALS LOBBYING FOR MAKING SOME CHANGES RELATED TO PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS IN FRONT OF THE ASSEMBLY LIKE NOW AND I WANTED TO KNOW, DO YOU ANTICIPATE THERE MIGHT NEED TO BE FURTHER EDITS TO THIS POLICY IF, IN FACT, THOSE ARE PASSED?
>> WELL, HOPEFULLY, THE LANGUAGE AS YOU SEE IN THIS FIRST SENTENCE IS BROAD
ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD NOT REQUIRE >> GOT IT.
>> A CHANGE IN THE NEAR TERM AND I THINK THIS IS WHY IT WAS DRAFTED THIS WAY.
IF THAT OCCURS, WE WOULD BRING THE POLICY BACK TO YOU AND THERE ARE CERTAIN POLICIES AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, ESPECIALLY, FOR INSTANCE, THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND ECONOMIC INTEREST POLICY, WHICH YOU JUST RECENTLY SAW LAST YEAR BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN POLICIES THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TWEAKS REPEATEDLY.
[01:30:02]
>> ON THE LAST POLICY, AND THIS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR ME.
I APPRECIATED YOUR POINT OF CLARITY ABOUT ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL.
WOULD A PERSON NOW GO TO A PLACE ON THE WEBSITE WHERE THE POLICY IS AND TYPE IN PERSONNEL AND, BOOM, IT WOULD COME UP FAIRLY EASILY?
>> ONCE IT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO PLUG OUR POLICY PAGE AND THERE IS A SEARCH BOX ON OUR POLICY PAGE WHERE YOU CAN TYPE IN ANY KEY WORD.
IF THAT KEY WORD IS LOCATED IN THE KEY WORD OF A POLICY OR TITLE ITSELF, IT SHOULD PULL ANY POLICY UP THAT HAS THAT KEY WORD, THEN IT SHOULD PULL UP FOR YOU.
>> JUST FOR EVERYONE LISTENING, IT DOES WORK SURPRISINGLY WELL.
I WAS A LITTLE DOUBTFUL, BUT IT WORKING PRETTY WELL.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING, IT REALLY WORKS.
>> THANK YOU TO MISS GENTRY ON THE MEETING ATTENDANCE, BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT THAT, AND I'M GLAD THAT THE POLICY REFLECTS THAT AND WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT THE LEGISLATION SAYS.
MY OTHER QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE POLICY RELATING TO THE EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN BE PUT UP, BUT READING THE LANGUAGE THERE, I DID WANT TO ASK THE BOARD AND STAFF THAT IF WE DID WANT TO, PERHAPS, CHANGE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IN THAT POLICY, AND AS I READ IT, YOU KNOW, IN EDUCATION, WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE OF EQUALITY AND EQUITY AND THE WAY THE POLICY IS WRITTEN NOW, ACPS WILL PROVIDE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY STUDENT.
BUT I WONDER IF WE WANT TO WORD IT MORE ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL VISION THAT WE'VE ADOPTED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN AROUND RACIAL EQUITY IS THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EQUALITY VERSUS EQUITY IS EDUCATION, EQUITY IS A STRONGER WORD WITH MORE MEANING TO IT.
I THINK WE WANT TO CONVEY THAT WE'RE REALLY ABOUT ACHIEVING EDUCATION EQUAL EQUITY.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN ACCESS FOR ALL KIDS.
IT MAY MEAN WE'RE DOING FOR FOR KIDS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME OUTCOME AT THE END OF THE DAY.
SO IT WAS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR DR. HUTCHINGS' STAFF AND THE BOARD WHERE WE'LL TWEAK THE LANGUAGE.
I WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT THIS MORE CLOSELY TO MAKE SURE IT'S ALIGNED BETTER WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
>> MR. SWAREZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT QUESTION BECAUSE THAT GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO MENTION OUR EQUITY AUDIT OF THE BOARD POLICIES.
I BROUGHT IT TO COME BACK INTO COMPLIANCE.
IT'S BEEN WELL OVER FIVE YEARS TO REVIEW THIS POLICY.
AND FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC NOT AWARE, WE ARE UNDERGOING AN EQUITY AUDIT OF ALL OF THE POLICIES AND THIS POLICY AND A FEW OF THE OTHER FOUNDATIONAL POLICIES, AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR POLICIES THAT DIRECTLY RELATE TO STUDENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE FIRST BATCH OF POLICIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE REVIEWED BY OUR PARTNERS AND CONSULTANTS.
AND SO, THE BOARD, OF COURSE, COULD PROPOSE REVISIONS TO THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT I BELIEVE THAT OUR PARTNER WILL BE PROPOSING EXTENSIVE REVISIONS TO THE FOUNDATIONAL POLICIES AND IT MAY BE BETTER TO LOOK AT THEM AS A GROUP WHEN THEY BRING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS BACK.
BUT I, OF COURSE, DEFER TO THE BOARD.
>> YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME AND I OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE FOR PURPOSES OF TODAY.
IF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE BATCH OF THOSE POLICIES, THEN THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
>> THAT'S A GREAT POINT, MR. SWAREZ, THANK YOU.
AND SO, JENNIFER, IT IS INCLUDED IN THAT BATCH OF POLICIES.
AS ALWAYS, YOU'RE ALWAYS VERY THOROUGH AND KEEP US ON OUR TOES.
I HAD TWO QUICK QUESTIONS ABOUT POLICY CBA AND BBA BOTH RELATED TO THE SAME
[01:35:08]
STATUTORY CHANGE.AND THAT'S PERTAINING TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD THAT AT LEAST ANNUALLY WE IDENTIFIED CRITICAL SHORTAGES OF TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL AND BUS DRIVERS.
AND SO THE FIRST QUESTION BEING, IN POLICY CBA, THERE'S A LITTLE LINE THAT SAYS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND D5, UPON REQUEST OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL SURVEY THE SCHOOL DIVISION AND DESCRIBES THOSE DUTIES.
I WAS WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND DO WE NEED THAT LINE, UPON REQUEST OF THE SCHOOL BOARD? THIS IS SOMETHING THE SUPERINTENDENT, YOU KNOW, SHOULD BE DOING ANNUALLY ANYWAY.
I'M HOPING THE SCHOOL BOARD SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REQUEST IT EACH TIME.
DO WE NEED THAT LINE? NUMBER TWO, AND THIS MIGHT BE MORE FOR DR. HUTCHINGS.
UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU ENVISION THE BOARD WOULD SEE THIS REPORT? WOULD IT BE AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS IN WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COMPENSATION STUDIES OR WHATEVER? BECAUSE I'M WONDERING IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE THIS REPORT? DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO BE THAT SPECIFIC?
>> I'LL TAKE THE FIRST ONE AND GIVE THE SECOND ONE TO DR. HUTCHINGS.
>> IN REVIEWING THAT TODAY, I WAS LOOKING AT THIS AND I THINK THE INTENTION IS THAT THE REQUIREMENT YOU SEE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SENTENCE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, BUT I THINK THE INTENTION WAS THAT ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT, IF THE BOARD REQUESTS THESE NUMBERS MORE THAN ANNUALLY, IT'S WRITTEN IN THE POLICY, THE BOARD CAN DO SO, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, TO YOUR POINT, I THINK BY WRITING AT LEAST ANNUALLY, YOU COULD ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT.
SO WE CAN TWEAK THAT LANGUAGE, ABSOLUTELY, BUT IT'S ANNUALLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY IF THE BOARD SO DESIRES.
AND THE SECOND HALF OF THE QUESTION, DR. HUTCHINGS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THAT.
>> THIS IS A PART OF THE WORK THAT WE ALREADY DO THROUGH OUR HR DEPARTMENT.
WE DO HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE AN ANNUAL UPDATE IN REGARDS TO CRITICAL SHORTAGES AND WHERE WE STAND WITH OPENINGS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND THIS IS AROUND THE TIME NOW, BECAUSE I KNOW I JUST APPROVED IT AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AROUND THIS TIME NOW BECAUSE OF COVID OR GENERALLY WHEN IT'S DONE AND DR. WILKINS, YOU MAY HAVE TO HELP ME WITH REGARDS TO THIS BECAUSE I JUST APPROVED THAT THIS WEEK.
THIS IS A DOCUMENT WE HAVE TO SUBMIT.
I SEE THIS SOMETHING THE BOARD WON'T HAVE TO ASK.
IT IS A PART OF US PROVIDING AN ANNUAL UPDATE IN REGARDS TO THE STAFFING COMPONENT.
BUT DR. WILKINS, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO ADD THERE?
>> WE CONCUR, IT'S BETTER TO MAKE IT A PART OF THE UPDATE, IF YOU WILL.
THE STATE ALSO TRACKS CRITICAL SHORTAGES TO PROVIDE A WAIVER, IF YOU WILL, FOR RETIREES TO OCCUPY THIS FOR CRITICAL SHORTAGES.
