And
that
brings
us
to
a
very
special
part
of
our
our
agenda.
That
is
really
not
that's
really
not
on
your
that's,
not
on
your
agenda,
because
the
board
has
to
make
a
very
significant
recognition
for
about
five
minutes,
so
we're
going
to
do
a
recognition
for
in
for
about
five
minutes
and
then
we're
going
to
take
a
quick
break
and
then
we're
going
to
come
back
and
resume
our
business.

Alice
countryman
kaye
is
a
rogers
park
elementary
alumni,
the
family
tradition
continued
when
her
daughters
also
attended
rogers
park.
Elementary
katie
is
an
accomplished
artist
in
her
own
right.
Katie
is
the
owner
designer
of
wild
alaska
and
state
director
of
becca's
closet,
a
non-profit
program
that
provides
addresses
and
scholarships
to
high
school
students.
C
Katie's
excellence
of
service
and
public
education
began
long
before
she
accepted
the
position
of
executive
assistant
to
the
anchorage
school
board
in
2011..
This
public
service
includes
various
physicians
throughout
the
district
directly
supporting
students
and
teachers
in
the
classroom,
as
well
as
hours
of
volunteering
as
a
parent
and
business
partner.
D
During
her
11-year
tenure
as
executive
assistant,
katie
has
consistently
supported
the
anchorage
school
board
with
project
management,
budgets
and
calendar
management,
public
meeting,
transcription
management,
correspondence,
lots
of
management
here,
correspondence
management,
logistics
management
and
simultaneously
providing
other
administrative
support
for
each
of
the
seven
member
governing
board.
She's
a
master
multitasker.
D
G
H
It
is
with
appreciation
gratitude
and
many
many
things
that
the
anchorage
school
board
presents
the
award
of
excellence
to
katie
countryman
grant
in
recognition
of
her
years
of
dedicated
service
to
the
board.
The
board
could
not
have
achieved
this
crucial
work
without
katie's
guidance,
support,
resilience
and
flexibility.
We
wish
her
the
best
as
she
begins.
The
next
chapter
of
public
education
service
in
the
anchorage
school
district.

But
it
is
on
your
printed
agenda.
Okay,
all
right!
All
right!
Is
there
any
opposition
to
the
motion
all
right,
seeing
none
to
that
and
that's
actually
was
an
amendment
to
the
motion
right.
So
now
we
are
a
a
approving
the
actual
agenda.
With
that
one
change:
is
there
any
opposition
to
approving
the
agenda
with
that
one
change
not
seen
any.
A
J
All
right
good
evening,
everybody,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
I'm
colonel
eric
dunn,
I'm
the
mission
support
group
commander
just
took
command
back
in
june
over
at
joint
base,
salmondorf
richardson
and
and
as
miss
bellamy
noted,
lieutenant
colonel
chris
schniebke
is
my
deputy
and
ms
adele
daniels
sitting
right
there.
She
is
our
school
liaison
program
coordinator,
and
so
we
are
here
to
to
be
your
liaisons
with
the
base,
especially
adele.
She
can
help
take
care
of
any
issues
that
you
may
have.
J
She
is
awesome
as
as
well
as
holly
her
her
teammate
and
partner
in
crime,
so
make
sure
we
know
anything
that
you
need
and
anything
we
can
do
for
you
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
related
to
schools.
If
you
want
to
know
more
about
the
base,
know
more
about
the
mission.
Come
take
a
visit
to
the
base,
let
us
know
and
and
we're
happy
to
help
you
with
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
just
your
leadership
and
transparency.
J
I
know
we
had.
We
had
a
lot
of
churn
with
the
closing
of
ursa
major,
but
that
was
laid
completely
flat
with
the
base.
It
was
great
communication
and-
and-
and
it's
really
amazing
how
well
that's
come
together
to
make
sure
our
military
kids
are,
are
getting
to
stay
on
base
and
just
going
to
different
schools.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
leadership
and
support
on
that,
and
I
hope
you
all
got
to
see
our
arctic
thunder
open
house.
It
was
an
awesome
air
show.
D
A
A
I
A
A
Moving
on
now
to
our
public
comments
section,
the
board
provides
two
opportunities,
one
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting
and
the
other
at
the
end
of
our
meeting
in
the
event
that
we
don't
get
through
all
the
public
comments
in
the
beginning.
So
students
do
have
take
a
priority.
We
don't
have
any
signed
up
tonight,
but
we
do
have.
A
A
The
school
board
welcomes
the
public
to
observe
and
contribute
to
our
meetings
throughout
through
their
comments,
however,
to
be
productive,
our
meetings
must
be
structured
and
civil.
As
you
entered
the
boardroom,
you
would
have
we
made
available
a
blue
and
white
form
that
kind
of
goes
over
what
I'm
going
over
right
now.
A
A
We
ask
that
we
people
we
refrain
from
disturbing
the
meeting
and
that
basically
means
well.
We
just
broke
this
rule
because
we
cheered
for
katie,
but
no
cheering
applause,
outburst
or
waving
of
signs
or
posters.
If
you
have
handouts
that
you'd
like
to
share
with
the
board,
please
give
them
to
katie
for
her
last
meeting
tonight.
A
A
A
K
K
K
Parents
and
teachers
and
neighbors
have
worked
so
hard
on
designing
a
new
school
and
in
the
last
school
bond
boat,
our
neighborhood
overwhelmingly
supported
in
favor
of
the
school.
We
we
want
a
new
school,
so
I'm
just
talking
to
you
tonight
in
support
of
a
new
inlet
view
supporting
the
health
and
safety
of
our
students
and
advocating
using
these
appropriated
funds
from
the
legislative
committee
to
replace
the
unsafe
school.
That's
all
I
have
tonight.
Thank
you.
N
Hello,
my
name
is
peter
wilm
and
I'm
a
parent
of
these
two
tiny
inlet
view
elementary
kids.
My
son
is
an
alum
and
he
was
this
tall
when
he
started
kindergarten
at
inlet
view.
My
daughter
is
starting
her
final
year
as
a
sixth
grader.
She
couldn't
wait
to
start
kindergarten
and
she
pulled
me
to
school
the
whole
way.
On
her
first
day,
I
joined
the
pta
when
my
daughter,
when
my
daughter
started
in
libya
and
I've
had
several
officer
positions,
including
president.
N
The
design
process
has
been
going
on
for
more
than
two
years
and
the
drawings
are
ready
for
permitting.
This
project
is
poised
to
move
forward
quickly.
Once
construction
funds
are
available,
you've
probably
heard
through
emails
and
from
bonnie's
testimony
last
and
probably
later
this
evening
about
many
of
the
things
that
are
wrong
with
inlet
view,
but
I
thought
I'd
shake
things
up
a
little
and
tell
you
about
a
few
critical
things
that
are
so
so
right
about.
N
In
the
view,
in
the
view,
is
located
in
a
bustling
neighborhood,
with
a
lot
of
turnover
of
younger
families
over
the
last
decade.
There
are
many
young
kids
who
are
poised
to
attend,
not
even
in
kindergarten
age
yet,
but
their
parents
are
ready
and
waiting,
they
will
be
able
to
walk
and
bike
safely
to
the
front
door,
as
many
generations
have,
and
even
more
safely,
at
the
new
replacement
school.
N
The
student
body,
in
the
view,
is
diverse
and
not
just
culturally
inlet
view.
Kids
come
from
a
wide,
widely
different
economic
backgrounds.
This
mix
at
a
school
is
becoming
more
rare
and
important,
as
america
becomes
more
divided
by
income
levels
and
schools
become
increasingly
specialized
and
specific.
N
Many
of
the
staff
and
teachers
at
in
the
view
have
had
long
tenures
there.
They
provide
the
backbone
that
fostered
the
international
baccalaureate
program,
which
was
finally
certified
last
year
after
three
years
of
applying
and
spending
a
lot
of
money,
sending
teachers
to
be
trained
and
being
reviewed,
so
that
was
a
very
exciting
milestone
for
us.
This
is
the
only
international
baccalaureate
program
for
primary
schools
in
the
state
of
alaska.
N
I
N
P
Hi,
thank
you
like
bonnie
diarman.
I
am
also
an
inlet
view.
Alumnus.
I
graduated
I'm
aging
myself
in
1986
from
sixth
grade
and
my
two
children,
my
son,
just
graduated
from
sixth
grade
and
my
my
older
son
and
my
younger
son
is
going
into
fifth
and
I
just
wanna
add
words
of
support
for
investing
in
inlet
view.
I
mean
it's
kind
of
like
when
your
car
gets
super
old
and
it's
just
costing
more
to
fix
it.
P
Nobody
likes
to
lay
out
the
money,
but
at
some
point
you
know
it's
going
to
cost
you
more
in
the
long
run.
If
you
don't
and
we're
at
the
point
now
I
mean
when
I
was
there
in
the
early
80s,
it
was
too
small
and
there
weren't
enough
separate
room.
You
know
you
need
a
separate
gym
and
a
separate
cafeteria,
or
else
there's
just
you
just
can't
do
all
the
things
that
an
elementary
school
should
do,
and
you
know
now:
we've
got
the
portables,
it's
just
in
bad
shape.
P
Do
we
invest
money
now
and
have
something
that
is
safe
and
promotes
all
the
activities
and
the
learning
that
we
want
to
have
or
do
we
spend
money,
the
same
amount
or
more
according
to
the
studies
over
years
and
end
up
with
something
even
worse
that
we
then
have
to
replace?
Anyway,
I
mean
as
the
former
owner
of
a
2003
minivan.
I
can
tell
you
that
that's
at
some
point
you
have
to
bite
the
bullet,
and
so
I
strongly
support
as
just
a
good
fiscal
decision
that
we
replace
and
love
you.
The
kids
deserve
it.
P
They
work
really
hard
there.
The
teachers
work
hard.
The
principles
work
hard,
it's
a
great
school,
it's
got
a
great
diversity
of
community
and-
and
I
think
we
should
invest
in
it,
and
then
I
do
want
to
take
30
seconds
to
say
that
I
I'm
a
little
nervous
with
public
speaking
and
the
sign
up
process.
It's
not
something
I
would
normally
do
to
testify
in
public,
but
you
always
get
an
email
back
from
katie
and
she's
always
really.
L
P
Q
Thank
you
good
evening,
president
bellamy
aboard
and
a
special
welcome
to
dr
bryant.
We
hope
you
enjoy
our
community
in
alaska
and
we're.
We
hope
you
have
a
great
life
here
so
anyway.
My
name
is
deborah
hansen
and
I
have
lived
for
the
last
40
years,
actually
over
40
years
now,
next
to
inlet
view
school
and
I
oppose
the
secrecy
in
which
asd
has
chosen
to
move
inlet
view
school
to
the
south
end
of
the
school
yard,
and
I'm
asking
you
to
stop
the
project
in
order
to
restore
trust
in
the
public
process.
Q
I
handed
out
a
list
of
the
envision
contracts
since
2014
and
all
the
amendments
that
have
been
made
to
it.
It's
the
contract
values
increased
from
55
000
to
over
3
million,
all
based
on
a
eight-year-old
rfp,
and
when
I
was
reading
the
amendments,
what
it
demonstrated
to
me
is
the
anchorage
school
district
decided
before
july,
7
2020
to
move
the
school
to
the
south
side
because
it
stated
in
there
in
the
proposal,
so
that
was
around
the
time
the
bond
passed
for
2020..
Q
This
was
before
there
was
any
public
comment
or
any
intervention,
or
you
all,
went
through
the
whole
public
process
and
had
already
decided
to
move
the
school
to
the
south
end
of
the
school
ground.
Had
I
known
that's
what
asd
would
have
done?
I
wouldn't
have
voted
for
the
bond
and
I
certainly
would
have
made
a
fuss
back
in
2020
rather
than
a
whole
in
september
of
2021,
when
we
found
out
about
it
anyway.
This
was
a
major
move.
Q
Asd
did
have
meetings
with
school
teachers
with
parents
not
with
the
immediate
neighbors,
and
they
violated
the
state
of
alaska,
open
meetings,
act
which
has
been
remedied
sort
of,
but
anyway,
despite
all
this
neighborhood
opposition,
when
we
found
out
about
it
the
school
bond
failing
and
the
failure
at
the
urban
design
commission,
the
anchorage
school
district
continues
to
push
this
design
through.
The
latest
is
the
rumor
which
the
previous
people
spoken
to
is
about
capturing
some
state
money
to
fund
the
school.
Q
Now,
how
do
you
think
voters
will
view
the
anchorage
school
district
when
you're
magically
finding
money
to
pay
for
england
view
after
they
turned
it
down?
Do
you
think
this
is
going
to
help
pass
the
next
school
bond?
We
can't
keep
magically
funding
asd.
We
need
to
pass
some
bonds.
That
was
a
hundred
over
what
how
what
was
110
million
or
something
that
was
turned
down.
We
need
the
money
to
keep
grooves
from
leaking
the
or
some
majors
closed
down,
they're
moving
kids
to
other
schools.
Q
Anyway,
I'm
asking
you
to
pull
inlet
view
from
the
urban
design.
Commission
review.
Go
back
to
the
drawing
board,
propose
an
excellent
building
that
the
community
supports.
We
all
own
these
schools
and
we
need
to
keep
them
going.
We
I
asked
you
to
restore
the
public
trust
and
stop
this
project
anyway.
Thanks
for
listening
to
me-
and
I
know
it's
a
complex
path
for
you
to
manage
the
largest
organization
here
in
anchorage-
and
finally,
I
want
to
say:
katie
got
back
to
me.
Q
R
It
suffered
from
chronic
maintenance
issues
for
years.
The
school
district
has
already
invested
in
into
the
planning
for
rebuild
replacement
of
inlet
view,
and
I'm
here
to
ask
that
you
consider,
as
you
consider
how
to
allocate
state
capital
improvement
funds
to
prioritize
the
rebuilding
of
inland
view
as
a
high
priority.
R
R
R
So
I'd
advocate
prioritizing
the
learning
environment,
the
students,
both
in
the
near
term
and
the
distant
future,
would
experience
in
a
new
building.
So
I
also
worry,
as
I
read,
about
devastating
acts
of
violence
perpetrated
on
students
in
other
parts
of
the
country
that
security
interview
falls
very
short.
R
S
Thank
you.
My
name
is
elise
huggins,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
doing
the
service
that
you
do.
I
really
do
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
couple
of
acknowledgements
I'd
like
to
make.
One
is
acknowledging
that
we
as
a
community
need
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
one
of
the
district's
oldest
schools.
This
school
was
designed
by
ed
crittenden.
He
was
known
as
the
father
of
architecture
in
alaska.
S
I'm
not
here
to
say,
keep
the
school
I'm
just
here
to
say,
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
the
school
has
a
place
in
anchorage's
history.
It
is
the
only
remaining
example
of
a
building
of
this
type
in
anchorage,
and
I
say
this
with
heartbreak,
because
the
fourth
avenue
theater
is
being
demolished
as
we
as
I
speak.
I
have
worked
for
the
school
district,
the
school
district,
I
own,
the
firm
of
earthscape.
I
have
worked
for
the
school
district
for
the
past
30
years.
The
school
district
has
made
my
livelihood.
S
I
come
on
this
project
because
I
think
there
are
things
that
happened
in
the
process
here.
I
also
acknowledge
the
people
who
work
so
hard:
the
community
members
who
spent
two
years
working
on
a
process
to
make
their
school
better
to
have
a
new
school
and
to
have
it
fit
into
the
community.
However,
it
was
a
flawed
process.
It
didn't
involve
the
full
community,
it
didn't
get
full
community
input.
S
So
as
someone
who's
worked
on
over
70
anchorage
school
district
site
plans
and
that's
doing
master
plans
and
site
plans,
I
worked
at
denali
elementary
school
where
there
was
objection
to
the
relocation
of
that
school.
We
stopped
the
process,
the
architecture
firm,
that
worked
for
it
held
workshops.
They
worked
with
the
community
and
it
led
to
the
current
plan
of
the
school,
which
is
an
incredible
school.
It's
an
incredible
elementary
school
it.
The
process
was
delayed
for
a
little
bit,
but
we
have
a
building.
S
That's
going
to
be
there
for
50
years
at
denali
elementary
school.
That's
not
going
to
happen
with
the
current
inlet
view.
Elementary
school
design.
I
worked
on
meers
middle
school.
We
were
in
the
process
of
redesigning
the
parking
lot,
which
is
a
lot
of
what
I
do
is
making
school
grounds
safer
for
for
everyone,
especially
the
children.
S
The
process
was
stopped
three
quarters
of
the
way
through
because
we
had
a
community
member
who
was
not
happy
with
design.
We
said
we
came
up
with
the
best
possible
design
that
we
could
come
up
with.
He
argued
he
argued.
We
had
work
sessions,
we
invited
more
of
the
community
members.
Lo
and
behold
he
had
a
better
idea
than
we
did.
S
We
went
back
to
the
drawing
board.
We
took
his
idea
and
we
came
back
to
the
neighborhood.
We
came
back
to
the
school
district
and
said
this
is
a
better
design.
We
agree
with
it.
We
worked
on
mere
some
years.
Gerdwood
south
anchorage
high
school
was
opposed
by
the
community.
We
worked
with
neighbors.
I
knocked
on
neighborhood
neighbors
doors
to
see
what
their
opinion
was
to
see
what
kind
of
landscaping
they
like
to
see
what
the
fences
they
want
to
minimize
objections
to
the
school.
S
O
O
Well,
I'm
martin
hansen.
I
coach
cross-country
skiing
for
elementary
school
kids.
I've
done,
I
think,
for
25
years,
for
the
last
two
years,
I've
been
a
kindergarten
teacher's
aide
at
willa
law,
school,
I've,
coached
boys
and
girls
club
soccer
at
inlet
musical.
I
care
about
kids
and
I've
lived
next
door
to
inlet
view
school
for
36
years.
O
O
The
reason
for
this
move
was
so
that
the
students
could
stay
in
their
old
school
while
the
new
school
was
built,
and
I
don't
think
that
will
work,
and
this
is
this
is
my
exhibit.
What
you
have
is
the
existing
school
and
the
proposed
school
and
there's
about
a
20-foot
gap
between
the
two.
I
don't
see
how
you're
going
to
teach
kids
when
you're
going
construction
that
close
well
you've
got
the
dust.
You've
got
the
noise.
O
You've
got
the
risks
associated
with
heavy
equipment,
and
you
aren't
going
to
have
any
playing
grounds
playing
ground
for
them
for
every
other
school
in
anchorage
when
it's
needed
to
be
repaired,
when
it's
needed
to
be
replaced
anchored
school
district,
like
ursa
major
experience,
has
found
a
way
to
make
it
work
and
to
make
it
work.
Well,
I'm
asking
you
dr
bryant,
and
you
know
friends
on
the
school
board.
Please
make
it
work
for
inlet
use
school.
O
A
L
A
M
M

M

T
T
T
T
Asd
and
their
professional
consultants
have
determined
in
the
past
that
the
cost,
effective
and
fiscally
responsible
solution
to
managing
inlet
view
is
to
replace
the
school
repair
and
renovation.
Looked
at
in
the
long
term
is
not
the
most
economical
use
of
asd
funds
that
was
determined
by
asd
and
their
consultants.
T
I'm
a
past
member
of
the
anchorage
planning
the
zoning
commission
and
it's
been
several
years
since
I
was
on
it,
but
even
when,
when
I
was
on
it,
then
it
was
always
on
the
six-year
capital
improvement
plan
to
to
replace
them
with
useful.
So
if
there
is
money
available
in
asd's
capital
improvement
accounts
from
the
state
legislature,
I
think
that
it
should
be
used
to
finally
replace
them
with
you.
Thank
you.
U
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
it's.
I
cannot
believe
july
is
over
and
we
are
in
august.
That
is
wild.
I
think
everyone
I
know
has
gotten
married.
I
think-
and
I
don't
think
I
was
here
for
most
of
july,
which
is
a
big
shame.
Big
welcome,
I
guess
to
this
school
year
that
I
appreciate
really
appreciate.
Seeing
all
of
you
I'm
here.
As
I'm
sure
you
could
guess
with
my
family
to
talk
about
the
proposed
inlet
view
school,
I'm
really
a
proud
graduate
of
asd.
U
It
propelled
me
forward
to
be
able
to
travel
to
school
getting
to
school
out
east,
but
I
missed
alaska
and
came
back
and
worked
as
a
carpenter
before
architecture
school
down
in
seattle
finished
up
architecture
school
with
my
master's,
and
you
know
I
keep
coming
back.
I've
had
opportunities
to
be
elsewhere,
I've
gotten
jobs
elsewhere
and
I
keep
saying
you
know
I
need
to
be
in
anchorage.
I
grew
up
right
next
to
inlet
view
elementary
school.
I
ended.
U
U
What
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
is,
I
think,
during
covet,
a
lot
of
rash
decisions
were
made
and
a
lot
of
haphazard
decisions
were
made
because
we
were
panicked
and
I
think
the
decision
on
asd's
part-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
breaks
robert's
rules-
was
a
haphazard
idea
to
keep
a
school
open,
build
a
new
school
and
then
swap
in
it
to
me.
It
kind
of
breaks
down
to
one
year
of
utility
versus
50
years
of
life.
U
A
school
is
not
only
a
building,
but
it's
also
a
place
outside
to
find
for
kids
to
learn
about
nature,
about
running,
about
being
physical,
there's
being
being
trapped
in
school
all
day
as
an
elementary
school.
A
kid
is
like
a
no-go.
I
would
imagine
I
have
not
had
the
benefit
of
being
a
kidney
t
ta,
like
my
father
has
so
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
the
school
board
here
to
do
is
to
really
listen
to
everyone
here
and
see.
U
So
I'm
really
urging
you
to
think
that's
a
lovely
bell
to
think
about
the
fact
that
I,
as
a
big
supporter
of
asd
and
a
big
supporter
of
education,
wasn't
able
to
vote
for
the
bond
this
year
and
that
really
bummed
me
out
in
like
a
serious
way,
and
I
would
love
in
the
future
to
vote
for
every
single
bond.
I
can
so
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
hope
you
all
had
a
great
summer.
I
see
some
tans
and
I'll
see
you.
I
guess
in
two
weeks
or
so
thanks.
A
V
V
My
childhood
was
fantastic
because
there's
wide
streets
in
the
south
edition
there's
big
trees,
there's
slow
moving
vehicles
and
wonderful
large
areas
of
open
space.
The
parkship
offers
a
section
of
the
neighborhood
to
downtown
and
the
inlet
view
open
field
offers
unlimited
opportunities.
I've
spoken
up
against
the
proposed
south
side
design.
Many
times
now.
I've
been
told
to
stay,
objective,
pragmatic
and
stick
to
the
facts,
but
the
reason
I
like
this
neighborhood
has
little
to
do
with
the
statistics.
The
groundwater
levels
and
parking
lot
specs.
It
has
everything
to
do
with
the
culture.
V
V
The
culture
felt
different
then,
and
I
attribute
that
to
making
civil
intentional
decisions
for
the
greater
good
of
the
neighborhood
education
isn't
isolated
to
teaching
billy
and
susie
in
their
classrooms.
It's
a
component
of
community
and
neighborhood
health,
you've
already
heard
or
will
hear
specific
issues.
Many
residents
have
about
the
current
proposed
design
on
the
south
side,
there's
no
other
school,
that's
shoved
against
people's
houses
without
a
road
buffer,
but
these
are
poor
design
elements.
It's
the
design
process.
V
That's
perhaps
the
most
disheartening
get
over
it
with
what
a
neighbor
told
me
get
over
a
clandestine
design
process,
and
I
won't.
But
will
you
guys,
people
feel
disenfranchised
across
the
nation
and
this
school
design
process
highlights
a
contributing
reason
civility
is
under
attack
how
we
treat
one
another
matters?
W
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
Congratulations,
superintendent,
brian
and
welcome
to
anchorage.
My
name
is
lois
epstein
and
I'm
a
licensed
engineer
in
alaska
and
I
live
near,
but
not
adjacent
to
inlet
view
elementary
school.
I'm
a
former
member
of
anchorage's
budget
advisory
commission.
I
use
the
school
grounds
frequently,
as
many
of
you
know
about
which
superintendent
bryant
might
not
the
process
for
addressing
inlet
views,
needs
has
been
horrendous.
W
Asd
and
its
architects
did
not
include
community
members
in
design
discussions
until
it
was
too
late
for
those
involved
to
make
a
difference,
and,
of
course
that
leads
us
to
wonder
whether
that
was
intentional.
The
process
also
violated
the
state's
open
meetings
act
as
an
engineer-
and
this
is
not
a
superficial
set
of
reasons.
W
The
south
side
design
selected
clearly
will
result
in
high,
not
yet
quantified
costs
to
remedy
the
groundwater.
Issues
on
that
part
of
the
grounds
and
what
might
affect
houses
nearby
neighborhood
traffic
will
significantly
worsen,
as
vehicles
would
be
directed
to
a
single,
often
icy,
hill
exit.
Whereas
now
there
are
three
exits
from
the
neighborhood.
W
The
south
side
building
location
has
higher
seismic
risks
than
the
existing
school
location
and
the
green
space.
Our
community
treasures
would
be
covered
with
visitor
parking
spots
that
are
unnecessary
in
this
neighborhood
of
wide
streets
and
are
we're
being
told
it's
just
because
that's
what
the
code
says.
W
In
short,
the
design
selected
is
objectively
terrible
from
an
engineering
and
community
standpoint,
because
asd
has
a
new
superintendent,
a
new
chief
operating
officer
and
new
inlet
view
elementary
school
principal
and
the
school
bond
failed
in
april.
Now
is
an
excellent
time
to
begin
a
more
inclusive
stakeholder
process
to
address
and
libya's
needs
as
a
founder
of
friends
of
inlet
view,
elementary
school
or
fives.
Our
organization
urges
the
anchorage
school
board
to
withdraw
the
pending
major
site
plan
review
for
inlet
view
elementary
school
replacement.
W
That
is
awaiting
a
decision
at
the
september
14
2022
urban
design
commission
meeting
note
that
the
urban
design
commission
did
not
approve
the
current
design
at
its
march
9
2022
meeting
and
virtually
no
design
changes
have
been
made.
Since,
therefore,
we
ask
for
the
withdrawal
of
the
application,
the
fives
organization
is
confident
that
a
new
school
design
and
location
supported
by
the
entire
community
can
be
developed
expeditiously
without
going
back
to
square
one
in
the
design
process.
W
X
Tonight,
it's
the
start
of
a
new
school
year,
and
I
ask
again
that
you
reconsider
the
location
of
this
building
plan.
I
have
two
key
issues:
one
is
health
safety
and
under
that
heading
I
would
say
the
proposed
issue,
as
you've
heard,
is
in
the
highest
seismic
danger
area,
and
we
know
this
fact
by
the
charts
that
asd
had
shared
to
to
the
community.
X
The
north
end
is
viewed
as
less
risky
and
the
current
inlet
view
structure
has
withstood
two
major
earthquakes
and
gives
great
testimony
to
that
to
that
vision.
This
proposal
also
requires
that
the
children
do
remain
in
the
school
where,
as
you've
heard,
raw
sewage
makes
its
way
into
the
sinks,
the
toilets
and
also
appears
on
the
playground.
X
X
The
second
concern
I
have
is
one
of
cost.
The
building
before
the
building
foundation
can
be
poured.
We
have
to
do
extensive
and
expensive
site
work
and
the
way
I
understand
it,
the
water
table
is
only
four
feet
below
the
current
playground
and
that
will
ex
that
will
create
extensive
water
drainage
issues.
X
We
have
heard
from
the
asd
employees
and
experts
that
the
north
side
is
preferred
we're
starting
a
new
year
with
a
new
administrative
focus,
and
I
hope
ask
you
to
open
the
process
to
the
people
around
the
community
and
to
develop
a
most
cost,
effective
and
safe
building
for
the
inlet
view
community
and
the
anchorage
school
district.
Thank
you.
Y
Thank
you,
chairwoman
bellamy,
members
of
the
board
and
superintendent
bryant.
My
name
is
zach
fields
and
I'm
here
to
testify
in
support
of
using
some
of
the
money
that
the
legislature
appropriated
to
build
inlet
view.
I
don't
have
a
dog
in
the
fight
in
terms
of
the
design.
I
know
that
kids
need
a
new
school
building.
Y
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
anchorage
area
legislators
watched
closely
when
the
school
bond
narrowly
failed,
despite
very
strong
support
within
neighborhoods
that
go
into
inlet
view,
and
when
legislators
saw
that
bond
fail.
I
think
there
was
an
understanding
that
there
were
some
voters
in
anchorage
who
had
reached
a
tipping
point
and
after
years
of
no
school
bond
debt,
reimbursement,
no
state
matching
funds,
we
as
a
state
had
to
step
up
and
match
funds,
and
thankfully
we
were
able
to
do
that
and
that
money
survived
the
veto.
Y
Pin
I'm
glad
the
legislature
acted
swiftly
to
appropriate
the
funding.
An
inlet
view
was
on
the
minds
of
several
of
us.
It
was
my
my
top
priority
for
capital
funding
and
representative
drummond
who
currently
represents
forest
park,
also
identified
it
as
the
only
capital
priority.
So
ever
all
of
us,
and
so
did
tom
baggage.
So
all
of
us
who
represented
that
area
fought
for
that
money
and
with
the
support
of
the
capital
budget
coach
here,
kelly
merrick,
we
got
it.
Y
I
know
that
over
100
million
dollars
from
the
state
is
not
enough
to
address
all
your
capital
needs
all
your
security
needs
and
all
the
needs
in
terms
of
a
fiscal
cliff.
But
I
think
if
we
use
some
of
this
money
wisely
we'll
position
ourselves
for
future
bond
success,
I
would
argue
that
appropriating
funds
for
inlet
view,
which
is
the
largest
obligation
we
face
right
now,
gives
you
the
flexibility
to
go
to
either
a
one-year
or
two-year
bond
in
the
future,
which
is
important.
Y
If
the
district
and
in
addition
to
that,
looking
at
over
100
million
dollars
coming
to
the
district,
that
is
enough
money
to
rebuild
inlet
view
to
make
other
school
safe
entry.
Vestibule
improvements
and
to
appropriate
money
for
the
fiscal
cliff.
I
think
I
also.
We
also
have
to
acknowledge
that
you
know
we
as
a
state
are
going
to
have
to
step
up
and
help
you
with
that
fiscal
cliff,
and
that's
advocacy
that
I
want
to
work
on
together.
We
can't
solve
that
problem
tonight,
but
we
can
advocate
strongly
going
forward.
Y
I
want
to
be
part
of
that.
Finally,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
very
pressing
safety
issues
at
inlet
view
right
now
and
rebuilding
that
school
should
be
the
district's
highest
capital
priority,
there's
not
a
safe
entry
vestibule,
it
is
very
outdated.
It
makes
no
sense
to
add
a
new
safe
entry
vestibule
to
a
building.
That's
falling
apart
today,
there's
fencing
around
the
sewage
leak
outside
on
the
playground
that
fencing
has
been
there
for
months.
Y
A
A
F
A
F
A
F
F
I
didn't
see
the
mirrors
project
anywhere
on
the
six-year
cip
that
we
recently
approved,
and
I
don't
understand
why
this
project
would
leap
frog
over
the
other
items
that
the
district
has
grappled
with
and
and
if
there's
a
compelling
reason,
then
maybe
I
didn't
get
it
or
understand
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
raise
that
question
of
why
this
project
over
three
million
dollars
right
now
right.
I've
got.
AA
Thank
you
through
the
president.
Thank
you,
members.
Just
a
brief
overview
and
I'd
like
to
act.
Ask
senior
director
of
capital
planning
and
construction
tom
fenisef
to
go
into
more
detail,
so
at
at
meers
middle
school
we
have
an
ongoing
situation
where,
in
effect,
we've
already
opened
up
the
exterior
of
the
building
and
what
we
would
call
a
concealed
condition
is
that
the
siding
needs
replacement.
AA
Okay
is
the
premise
here
not
going
into
details
of
why
the
siding
needs
replacement,
know
that
when
they
begin
to
take
that
off,
we've
discovered
that
there's
no
insulation
under
there
and
there
should
in
fact
be
insulation
under
there.
In
fact,
when
we
go
up
to
the
second
level
and
also
begin
to
look
under
the
siding,
we
find
that
there's
no
insulation
that
will
have
to
be
remedied,
and
so
that's
the
the
generality
of
the
concealed
condition
we're
speaking
of
I,
I
can
ask
mr
fenestev
to
go
into
more
detail
there,
for
you.
AB
So
through
the
president,
so
we
did
have
mirrors
project.
The
roof
was
being
done.
That
project
is
completed,
but
in
going
through
and
evaluating,
especially
after
the
earthquake,
we
noticed
that
there
were
various
portions
of
the
exterior
veneer,
which
was
a
masonry
type.
Veneer
was,
was
falling
off
in
areas
it
caused
a
safety
risk.
F
A
question
yes,
so
just
to
paint
a
picture
in
my
mind.
I
thought
that
I
read
that
there
was
thermographic
imaging
or
you
know,
sort
of
I'm
imagining
you're
using
a
device
to
look
through
the
building.
But
what
I
think
I
heard
you
say
is
that
it's
already
opened
up.
If
I
were
to
drive
by
mirrors,
would
I
see
walls
opened
up
without
insulation
right
now
I
mean.
Is
that.
AA
AA
F
AA
So,
as
mr
fantastic
mentioned,
the
roof
was
the
first
priority
and
that
that
pieces
is
done
or
nearly
completed.
Is
that
correct
and
then
the
second
phase
of
that
was
to
explore?
Why
some
of
this
facade,
I
called
it
siding,
which
is
an
oversimplification,
why
it
was
beginning
to
crack
and
or
peel
off
of
the
building,
and
that's
that's
when
further
analysis
revealed
that
underneath
we
do
have
some
moisture
that's
gotten
in,
but
we
also
have
a
lack
of
any
insulating
material
that
should
have
in
fact
been
there.
F
This
is
a
good
team
to
have
yes,
so
I
was
looking
at
the
contract
sheet.
The
contract
modifications
and
it
looks
like
costs
on
those
items,
have
increased
anywhere
from
two
percent
to
more
than
11.
That's
clearly
an
upward
trend,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
are
any
areas
or
types
of
cost
increases
that
are
more
worrisome
for
the
administration.
F
AA
Start
and
then
I
can
always
ask
for
more
detail
in
general.
I
would.
I
would
like
the
board
to
know
that
we
are
tracking.
These
increases
very
carefully
note
that
the
increases
on
on
the
spreadsheet
you're,
referring
to
are
actually
on
the
low
end
in
what
we
are
trending
for
new
projects
that
we're
asking
for
scope
and
bid
on,
and
so
we're
very
concerned
with
material
costs,
we're
tracking
material
costs
alone
right
now
of
up
to
40
percent.
AA
AA
AB
Overall.
According
to
the
agc
report,
which
was
published
in
april,
the
construct
construction
industry
has
seen
an
18
increase
in
bid
price.
It's
just
right
off
the
bat
steel
has
gone
up.
113
diesel
fuel
has
gone
up,
237
percent,
which
affects
transportation
of
all
these
materials
plywood
over
100,
copper,
70,
gypsum,
29,
aluminum
52.
AB
F
Yeah
this
is
this
one
had
a
smaller
figure,
but
I
guess
this
is
related
to
my
ongoing
question
about.
Is
there
an
update
for
what
our
one-to-one
initiative
for
technology
is
going
to
be?
Looking
like
as
we
move
forward,
it's
my
understanding
that
these
chromebooks
are
replacing
ones
that
will
be
expired,
but
then
to
what
purpose?
To
what
end?
And
that's
probably
a
question
for
our
tech,
yeah.
I
AC
We
are
going
to
have
that
discussion
this
year
with
instruction
about
what
are
what
are
the
appropriate
levels
for
one-to-one,
and
how
do
we
want
to
continue
to
maintain
it
right
now
we
use
grades
three
through
twelve
being
one
to
one
and
the
three
through
six
really
is
not
completely
one-to-one.
Yet
at
this
point
either
there's
lots
of
shared
devices
and
carts
at
those
levels,
and
so
we,
if
you,
if
you
looked
at
elementary
schools,
those
are
about
two
to
one
as
opposed
to
one
to
one.
AC
A
A
Z
Z
This
marks
my
33rd
day
in
the
role
and,
needless
to
say,
there
is
a
lot
to
learn
about
this
incredible
community
and
I
look
forward
to
it.
I
also
feel
immense
gratitude
and
respect
for
my
predecessor,
dr
bishop,
who
truly
went
above
and
beyond,
to
make
me
feel,
welcome
and
prepared.
Since
I
moved
here
in
may,
the
anchorage
community
is
one
that
I
want
to
be
a
part
of
for
the
long
haul.
Z
Dozens
of
people
have
been
kind
enough
to
welcome
me
into
their
homes
and
show
me
all
the
fun
spots
to
eat
at
and
gather
in
town,
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
feel
that
I
have
real
friends
and
connections
here
and
since
moving
here.
Just
a
few
months
ago,
I
had
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
even
spend
my
birthday
in
gerdwood,
with
new
friends
get
up
to
flat
top.
I
saw
my
first
whale,
not
in
anchorage
to
be
clear.
Z
It's
like
you're
trying
to
avoid
the
tree,
and
sometimes
the
current
just
comes
and
knocks
in
a
different
direction,
and
you
end
up
in
the
tree.
But
you
know
what
you
have
to
get
out
of
the
tree,
because
that's
how
our
kids
are
going
to
get
educated,
so
I'm
going
to
keep
on
getting
unstuck
from
trees,
and
then
I
also
want
to
share
that.
I've
greatly
enjoyed
the
opportunity
to
get
a
head
start
on
my
listening
and
learning
tour
across
the
district.
Z
We
have
a
lot
of
great
things
already
going
on,
and
people
in
place
in
asd,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
and
growing
that
good
work.
It
was
also
a
pleasure
to
begin
meeting
with
our
community
leaders
to
discuss
potential
collaborations
with
the
district.
For
example,
I
enjoyed
my
time
with
our
new
chancellor
parnell
and
are
collected
big
hopes
for
a
stronger
partnership
than
ever
before
in
continuing
our
incredible
collaborations,
such
as
our
middle
college
amcs.
Z
I
also
want
to
share
that.
I
look
forward
to
planning
for
asd's
future
alongside
the
community.
A
number
of
people
seem
to
be
interested
in
what
is
my
vision
in
future
for
the
district
and
the
thing
about
any
future
vision
or
direction
is
that
it
requires
the
input
of
the
community.
It
means
that
I
need
to
get
out
there.
I
need
to
listen
to
our
employees
and
community
and
our
staff
and
the
great
people
of
anchorage,
because
together,
we
collectively
shape
that
future
to
be
clear.
Z
Anchorage
is
a
special
place,
and
while
we
do
need
to
make
changes
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
be,
we
need
to
implement
those
changes
in
a
way
that
fits
the
unique
needs
of
this
community
anchorage.
So
as
we
gear
up
for
back
to
school,
you
can
expect
to
see
me
out
there
in
the
community,
in
our
school
buildings,
talking
with
staff,
seeing
classrooms
and
listening
to
what
you
have
to
say
about
our
schools
and
where
you
want
to
see
the
district
go
so.
But
I
will
share
that.
Z
What
I
intend
to
be
focused
on
is
one
are
board
goals
and
guardrails
two
ensuring
that
asd
is
on
a
path
to
long-term
financial
sustainability.
Given
our
conversation
earlier
today
and
three
retaining
and
attracting
talented
educators
to
choose
asd
for
the
long
haul.
As
a
leader
I
like
to
keep
it
simple
and
laser
focused
on
the
quality
of
teaching
in
our
classrooms
and
the
quality
of
leadership
in
our
schools,
and
everything
else
needs
to
align
and
support
that.
Z
We're
still
awaiting
a
final
written
report
from
the
original
engineering
firm
involved
with
ursa
majors
seismic
evaluation,
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
obtaining
a
second
engineering
firm
opinion
as
well,
so
that
we
are
well
prepared
to
evaluate
our
next
steps.
For
those
of
you
who
want
lifetime
updates,
you
can
check
out
our
website
at
asdk12.org
relocation,
and
you
can
also
go
on
our
main
page
and
click
on
hot
topics
and
it's
right
there.
Z
It
was
a
much
smaller
event
than
it's
been
in
past
years,
because
I
have
a
very
strong
belief
in
engaging
in
two-way
dialogue
with
principles.
That's
very
important
and
central
to
their
leadership
development
because,
like
I
mentioned,
I
envision
a
well-supported,
highly
effective
principle
in
every
school.
Z
I
want
to
repeat
that
61
people
either
new
to
their
role
or
new
to
the
assistant,
principalship
or
principalship,
and
that
is
really
putting
fire
underneath
to
ensure
that
we
emphasize
their
own
professional
development,
because
I
can
tell
you
it's
not
easy
to
be
a
new
guy
and
it
requires
a
lot
of
work
to
be
prepared,
and
on
that
note
I
want
to
share
that.
I
recently
made
a
trip
to
juneau
I
enjoyed
it.
It
was
my
first
time
I
was
there
for
the
alaska
superintendent
association
fly
in
similarly.
Z
And
lastly,
regarding
juno,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
receive
a
warm
welcome
from
our
new
acting
commissioner
of
deed,
and
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
partnership
and
collaboration,
a
couple
more
updates
on
health
and
medical,
this
one's
important.
So
we
are
going
to
continue
to
monitor
the
situation
in
anchorage
as
it
relates
to
all
communicable
diseases
which
includes
covid19.
Z
At
this
time,
we
plan
to
adhere
to
the
same
infectious
disease
prevention
protocols
that
the
board
was
most
recently
briefed
on.
Our
mitigation
response
will
continue
to
be
driven
by
data
and
in
partnership
with
public
health
officials.
To
learn
more
about
the
specifics
of
our
plan,
you
can
go
to
our
website
at
asd
k,
12,
slash,
covid19,
and
the
last
thing
that
I
want
to
brief.
The
board
on
is
back
to
school,
so
first
off.
Z
One
is
that
staffing
continues
to
be
a
major
challenge
and
concern
as
we
prepare
to
open
our
schools.
There
are
some
bright
spots
with
regards
to
our
acting
active
teaching
vacancies.
It
was
as
high
as
88
on
7
12..
That
number
has
decreased
to
about
44
as
of
late
july,
and
I
hope
that
number
continues
to
go
down.
We
are
making
progress,
but
that
said,
there
are
a
number
of
vacancies
in
critical
areas
such
as
food
service
and
bus
drivers,
that
we
are
looking
at
as
a
leadership
team.
Z
So
we
need
to
explore
a
lot
of
different
options,
so
one
we're
looking
into
ways
to
retain
our
current
employees
and
also
recruit
new
staff
into
these
positions
and
we're
preparing
ourselves
for
the
reality
that
we
may
need
to
streamline
operations
to
minimize
disruption.
In
other
words,
there's
the
real
possibility.
We
won't
be
fully
staffed
in
these
positions
on
the
first
day
of
school.
So
we
need
to
think
through
that
scenario
proactively,
while
we're
also
thinking
about
bringing
staff
in
and
making
sure
that
our
current
employees
choose
to
stay
in
asd.
Z
But
to
give
you
one
example,
this
is
a
very
challenging
employment
landscape,
specifically
with
bus
drivers,
we're
in
direct
competition
with
the
tourism
industry,
among
others,
for
that
specific
group
we're
actively
working
with
the
appropriate
stakeholders
to
discuss
hiring
incentives
and
compensation.
So
we
can
take
some
concrete,
big
steps
to
tackle
this
issue
and
I
anticipate
that
I'll
have
a
positive
update
to
share
on
that
front
as
soon
as
tomorrow.
Z
Lastly,
there's
a
lot
more
information
to
come
on
this
front,
but
for
the
purpose
of
tonight
I
wanted
you
to
know
that
this
is
at
the
forefront
of
our
minds
and
we
won't
leave
any
stone
unturned
and
then,
lastly,
I'm
really
excited
to
welcome
our
families
back
to
school.
I
hope
that
many
of
you,
if
not
all
of
you,
received
your
mailer
in
the
mail.
It's
amazing!
You
can
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
me,
I'm
on
the
front.
Z
But,
more
importantly,
you
can
learn
about
lots
of
information
related
to
registration,
vaccinations,
pre-enrollment,
our
enrollment
policies,
all
sorts
of
stuff
really
important,
but
in
case
you
didn't
get
one,
you
can
access
the
information
at
asdk12.org
back
to
school
and
it's
also
on
our
main
page,
and
you
can
also
check
out
our
adn
insert
that
has
similar
information,
but
we're
excited
to
get
our
kiddos
back
in
our
schools.
So
that's
all
I
have
for
tonight.
A
That's
quite
a
update,
thank
you
for
your
first
as
well.
Well,
we
are
absolutely
delighted
that
you
are
here
and
we
are
want
to
lend
our
full
support
as
we
move
forward
into
a
brand
new
year
and
in
33
days
you
have
been
a
busy
person
and
and
as
we
try
to
you,
know,
acclimate
you
to
not
just
I
mean
you
moved
from
texas
to
here:
you've
gotten
the
certification
situation
under
contr.
You
know,
out
of
the
way
I
feel
like
you
know
the
sky's
the
limit.
A
A
G
A
F
G
Give
a
little
background,
dr
bryant.
As
you
know,
the
bonds
failed.
Last
april
I
had
in
work
sessions
and
in
meetings,
comment
periods
suggested
that
we
needed
to
get
together
as
a
board
in
april
may
and
june,
and
talk
about
where
we're
going
from
here,
because
we
have
a
six-year
plan
that
now
doesn't
fit
because
of
the
failure
of
the
bonds.
I
was
told
we're
going
to
be
getting
to
that.
A
A
Okay,
you
good
anybody
else.
Thank
you.
So
I'd
like
to
now
go
back
to
our
second
item,
eight,
which
is
the
public.
Thank
you,
dr
bishop,
about
the
vision.
The
b
is
right:
doc,
brian,
okay,
so
public
comment
in
person
we
have
mr
corey
angst,
and
then
we
have
one
more
telephonic
person
welcome
to
a
new
school
year.
AD
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and,
on
behalf
of
all
the
educators,
welcome
dr
bryant.
I've
only
received
positive
feedback
so
far
in
the
short
time
that
he's
been
meeting
and
venturing
out
to
our
schools,
I'm
just
really
excited,
and
in
the
time
I've
also
gotten
to
talk
with
him
very
excited
about
our
future
and
the
the
22-23
school
year,
and
I'm
really
glad
you
got
unstuck
from
the
tree
having
been
on
the
porch
river
myself
so
and
then
last.
AD
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
join
dr
bryant
in
a
shout
out
to
all
the
educators
out
at
ursa,
major,
all
all
of
them
on
base
aurora,
orion
and
ursa
miner,
who
are
working
so
hard
to
move
classrooms
this
week.
I
I've
actually
been
really
impressed
to
hear
from
educators
the
amount
of
time
and
energy
they're
putting
into
that,
and
I
really
appreciate
asd
leadership
in
supporting
them.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
AE
AE
Hey
everyone,
so
I
wanted
to
say
sorry,
I'm
not
in
the
building.
I
really
wanted
to
be
there,
but
due
to
some
health
concerns,
I'm
not
there,
but
my
name
is
roblin.
For
those
that
don't
know.
I
am
the
president
and
founder
of
the
alaska
coalition
of
bypark
educators,
where
we
believe
in
equity,
equality
and
justice.
AE
AE
Even
though
some
weren't
there
some
were
there
and
those
that
were
there
brought,
you
know
that
spunk
they
brought
that
asd
splunk
and
I
totally
appreciated
college
carl
jacobs
and
megan
gall
and
a
couple
other
people.
I
just
can't
think
of
their
names
right
now,
but
I
really
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
sonia
hunt
and
oh
kelly.
Lessons
was
there
too,
and
just
everybody
that
was
there,
everybody
that
there's
another
the
special
ed
department
of
miss
harley
shawn.
AE
Thank
you
guys
all
bringing
the
supplies
that
were
provided
as
well.
We
did
over
1800
backpacks,
that's
huge
whether
it
was
our
neighborhood.
There
was
a
lot
of
faces
there
a
lot
and,
and
they
were
super
excited
to
get
their
backpacks,
get
their
hot
dogs
extreme
academy,
our
charter
school
was
there,
you
know,
and
so
hopefully
next
year,
we'll
be
able
to
talk
more
sit
at
the
table
and
bring
on
more
of
our
charter,
schools
and
our
programs
so
that
they
can
just
come
and
have
a
face.
AE
I
heard
from
their
school
principal
that
they
actually
obtained
a
student
all
from
being
at
the
backpack
drive,
so
that's
huge.
That
was
one
of
my
goals
and
visions
for
having
a
backpack
drive
to
not
only
provide
backpacks
to
students
but
also
provide
an
asd
space
and-
and
we
have
more
work
to
do
so-
I
hope
to
be
able
to
sit
at
more
tables.
AE
AE
I'm
super
excited
for
what
dr
hill
is
bringing
there's
all
types
of
changes
going
on
at
asd,
but
I
would
have
to
shout
out
my
school
in
particular,
and
I'm
just
super
excited,
because
we
are
the
number
one
school
in
alaska
and
I'm
sure
she's
probably
going
to
get
slapped
for
that,
but
I
would
never
think
of
our
school
any
less.
So
I
just
hope
that
you
guys
come
and
visit
us
as
well
and
dr
bryant.
I
can't
wait
to
see
you
over
at
mountain
view.
A
Thank
you,
miss
weiss
and
that
concludes
our
testament.
Our
public
comment
periods,
and
so
now
we
are
at
the
item,
j,
school
board
and
administration
comments.
If
there
are
any
who
closing
comments,
let's
start,
let's
start
okay,
we'll
go
remember
lessons
and
we're
gonna
go
counter.
Clockwise
come
around
this
way.
F
Well,
great,
so
if
anybody
wants
to
have
a
really
great
feeling,
I
suggest
that
you
read
memorandum,
7
8,
9
and
10
on
tonight's
agenda.
I
don't
normally
say
this
because
they
list
all
of
these
incredible
community
partners
that
have
donated
time
and
treasure
in
all
sorts
of
incredible
projects
over
the
past
year.
So
it
is
just
a
little
moment
to
lighten,
like
your
spirits,
feel,
inspired
and
feel
gratitude,
so
seven,
eight,
nine
and
ten
on
tonight's
agenda.
F
F
There
is
a
new
website
on
asdk12.org
wellness
where
parents
and
guardians
can
apply
it's
my
understanding
that
applications
will
be
due
by
five
o'clock
pm
on
friday
august
12th,
and
we
will
have
members
appointed
by
the
16th.
So
again,
that's
asdk12.org
wellness
and
we
have
a
finance
committee
august
10th
at
noon.
H
I
do
appreciate
your
forthrightness
and
being
stuck
if
anybody
in
alaska
says
they
haven't.
That
just
means
they
haven't
been
on
a
river
with
the
warning.
I'm
sure
corey
can
tell
you
not.
Everybody
gets
unstuck,
but
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
them
anymore
when
they
do
but
keep
getting
unstuck,
because
that's
the
best
way
to
go
your
message
about
supporting
principals,
so
they
support
their
staffs
will
be
very
exciting
to
staff.
H
H
H
H
A
E
E
I
guess
I've
worked
with
you
longer
than
anyone
else
here
and
you've
had
to
order
my
food
when
I
don't
and
you've
had
to
remind
me
to
do
things
that
I
sometimes
didn't
do,
and
sometimes
I
did,
but
you
were
always
staying
on
top
of
it,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
when
I
first
started.
I
remember
how
many
people
were
in
the
admin
area
compared
to
what
we
went
down
to
and
you
got
thrown
more
and
more
things
at
you.
E
That
was
a
those
that's
my
first
nine
years
in
the
board
would
cut
administration
every
year
and
that
didn't
help
you
at
all.
But
it's
the
way
we
played
it,
and
I
appreciate
the
job
you've
done
all
that
time
very
professional,
great
job
and
you
you
balanced
out
the
things
you
had
to
do
and
the
problems
I
added.
So
I
appreciate
that.
I
appreciate
dr
jaya's
comment
on
colby.
We
don't
know
what's
coming
on.
We
got
all
the
other
issues
out
there.
What's
going
to
play
out,
we
we
have.
E
This
is
not
just
it's
over
behind
us,
we
don't
know.
What's
ahead
of
us,
I
remember
a
study
that
said,
we
still
have
a
hunt
of
over
a
million
different
viruses
that
can
be
transitioned
from
animals
to
to
other
animals
to
people,
and
then
you
got
all
the
mutations
with
that
and
right
now,
this
one
is
not
done
so.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
looking
at
that.
I
hope
that
we
have
a
lessons
learned
from
how
we
did
it
last
time,
how
we
could
do
it
better
this
time.
E
E
I
hope
we
get
a
careful
review
of
that,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
there
that
there
are
so
many
goals
we
can
come
out
with.
I
remember
when
I
first
got
on
school
boy.
We
had
a
document
about
that
thick,
but
each
one
being
a
line
of
a
different
goal
and
how
foolish
they
were
at
some
point
they
had
one.
E
I
had
a
little
dispute
with
that,
but
we
changed
our
approach
in
there
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
again
not
so
much
that
we
didn't
have
gods
and
goals
that
are
a
pro
or
good,
but
we
have
to
say:
are
they
working
for
what
we
want
to
accomplish
and
are
they
accomplishing
all
the
goals
we
want?
So
I
view
that
as
important.
I
just
will
make
a
comment
on
staffing.
E
You
know
I'm
been
in
human
resources
for
surprisingly
more
than
five
years
comstown-
and
I
remember
the
superintendent
the
economist
for
the
state
came
out
here
about
six
eight
months
ago.
I
guess
and
gave
a
review
and
said:
there's
27,
000,
less
adults
working
in
alaska
today
than
it
was
10
years
ago,
and
that
three
groups
of
employees
are
being
targeted
for
recruitment
to
to
come
up
to
alaska
and
get
them
to
move
to
lower
48.
E
truck
drivers,
nurses
and
teachers.
We
have
enough
challenges
as
is,
but
we're
very
vulnerable
and
that
regards
our
cost
of
living's
higher
salaries.
We
haven't
had
the
kind
of
increases
in
funding
necessary
to
be
competitive.
The
way
we
would
want
to
be
and
we
can't
afford
to
lose
what
we've
got.
I
dr
jared,
I
agree
with
you.
The
the
hr
has
saying
the
best
way
to
recruit
today,
don't
lose
what
you
got
because
the
challenges
of
replacement
so
great.
E
So
I
I
think
we've
got
a
massive
problem
in
that
regards
and
we
are
going
to
have
a
hell
of
a
challenge
trying
to
maintain
buses
food
service,
everything
else.
You
can't
go
to
a
fast
food
restaurant.
You
can't
go
to
a
grocery
store.
You
can't
go
to
a
hardware
place
without
help
wanted
sign.
I
remember
one
place
at
lowe's.
I
saw
a
help
wanted
sign
that
was
bigger
than
that
that
two-story
sign
that
says
lowe's.
E
E
So
if
we
don't
focus
on
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
recognize
and
appreciate
the
employees,
we
have
that
we
don't
respect
them
when
there
are
issues
coming
up
and
we
don't
look
at
them
carefully
from
a
standpoint
of
what's
fair
and
make
sure
that
they
understand,
we
have
that
we're
going
to
lose
people,
we
can't
replace
and
that's
what
we're
seeing
throughout
the
whole
country
and
we're
going
to
see
it
in
space
here
in
anchorage
and
alaska.
So
the
challenge
is
there.
E
G
G
So
I
want
to
bring
that
back
before
the
board
as
a
concern.
I
think
it's
been
very
legitimately
raised
by
parents
in
the
district
when
we
talked
about
this
before
the
july
break
the
response
from
the
superintendent.
That
time
was
that
there
was
some
sort
of
glitch
in
a
program.
The
district
had
bought
that
didn't
that
didn't
provide
the
proper
notice
to
parents
and
we
were
going
to
do
some
reprogramming
to
fix
that.
A
Thank
you,
member
donnelly
and
and
to
clarify
the
trends,
the
guidelines,
the
transgendered
gender
non-conforming
guidelines.
They
didn't
come
up
last
time.
Cue
came
up
last
time,
but
that
has
come
up
in
subsequent
emails.
So
dr
bishop,
dr
bishop,
dr
bryant,
will
do
his
due
diligence
to
get
back
to
us
on
that.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
a
couple
quick
notes.
I
had
asked
a
question
regarding
the
guidelines
and
they
were
phrased
to
me
as
something
that
was
new,
and
I
just
my
understanding
is
that
those
have
been
drafted
since
2015
or
so
most
most
recently
revised
in
2020.
So
I
was
hoping
folks
like
remember.
C
Donnelly
might
be
able
to
shed
some
light
as
one
of
the
longer
term
board
members,
but
looking
forward
to
more
discussions
on
that
with
that
said,
I
wanted
to
thank
those
who
came
out
to
testify
tonight
always
appreciate
those
willing
to
take
time
out
of
their
evening
to
share
thoughts
and
prerogative
with
the
board.
Dr
brian
really
appreciate
your
report
was
thoughtful.
Thorough,
couldn't
be
more
excited
to
have
you
on
board
katie.
C
C
I
think
we
have
these
one-time
funds,
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
finance
committee
meetings
and
subsequent
board
meetings
to
really
carefully
examine
how
we
can
promote
safety
in
our
buildings
and
leverage,
those
one-time
funds
into
something
that
might
last
past
just
one
year.
So
that's
a
lens
I'm
going
to
bring
to
the
conversation
for
sure
with
us,
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
D
I
appreciate
our
military
partners
coming
to
introduce
themselves.
They
are
a
very
important
part
of
our
community
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
adele
daniels
for
your
commitment
and
support
to
our
military
youth
as
well,
and
the
air
show
was
mentioned
and
it
is
such
a
great
family-friendly
activity
and
event.
D
D
I
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
the
summer
school
graduation
and
a
graduation
ceremony,
and
I
just
really
appreciate
the
continued
support
of
the
staff
and
the
continued
work
of
our
students
that
needed
that
little
bit
of
extra
time
to
complete
their
graduation
and
push
through
so
congratulations
to
to
our
summer
school
graduates
as
well,
and
welcome
to
dr
bryant,
of
course,
and
thank
you
to
our
wonderful
katie
for
your
service
and
commitment
to
the
board,
and
I
look
forward
to
a
great
school
year.
Also.
The
communications
committee
meeting
is
tomorrow
at
noon.
Just
a
reminder.
A
Good,
thank
you
and
my
comments
will
be
very
brief,
but
I
do
want
to
welcome
amanda
and
thank
everybody
that
helped
us
to
not
just
find
her
but
get
her
interviewed,
get
her
hired
get
her
onboarded.
These
last
couple
of
weeks
have
been
furious
and
I
also
and
of
course
I
think
more
than
any
of
the
board
members.
I've
probably
been
the
one
to
work
to
have
more
conversations
with
with
dr
b
and
I
have
absolutely
enjoyed
those
conversations.
D
A
I
look
forward
to
a
full
partnership
between
the
board
and
our
new
superintendent,
so
we
can
make
fabulous
things
happen
for
our
kids
and
then
fine
and
then
katie.
I
don't
even
know
what
to
say.
I've
been
in
denial
now
for
weeks,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
you're
very
special
and
special
things
are
very
valuable
and
everybody
wants
them.
So
jim.
A
I
yeah
yeah
yeah.
I
couldn't
believe
you
did
that
to
me.
I
thought
I
was
your
friend
anyway,
you
guys
are
going
to
have
a
great
team
and
we
look
forward
to
building
the
same
kind
of
team
with
amanda
and
for
the
staff.
That's
worked
all
summer.
I
mean
dr
stock
you're
still
hanging
in
there
with
us.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
of
you.
