Okay,
so
again
we
are
still
in
Phase
2A,
which
I
showed
you
guys
last
month
and
we'll
be
in
this
phase
until
Christmas
time.
So
so
we
have
completed
all
the
MEP
rough-ins
above
the
ceiling.
The
fire
protection
is
still
ongoing
at
this
point,
they're
just
finishing
up
on
the
second
floor,
I'm
going
to
drop
down
to
the
first
floor,
all
the
framing
has
been
done,
drywall
installation
and
finishing
again
finished
on
the
second
floor.
They
are
currently
working.
On
the
first
floor.
We
have
started
painting
the
classrooms.
D
On
the
second
floor,
we've
also
started
putting
the
ceiling
tie,
wire
up
anticipation
of
the
ceiling
grid
and
the
light
fixtures.
The
new
emergency
generator
has
been
set
on
the
exterior
of
the
building
still
needs
to
be
wired
and
commissioned,
and
then
the
elevator
number
one
is
completed
and
operational.
D
Just
some
quick
pictures
for
you
guys
again
just
some
of
the
MEP
rough-ins
on
the
first
and
second
floor,
drywall
installation
in
the
corridors,
and
you
can
see
that
we
started
painting
in
the
quarters
as
well
just
a
picture
of
one
of
the
classrooms
with
the
folding
partition
in
it
classroom
again.
Getting
painted
and
I
know
it's
hard
to
see
in
this
picture,
but
the
ceiling
wires
again,
anticipating
of
the
ceiling
grid
right
behind
the
painting.
D
D
B
F
Wonderful
well
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
school
board
and
administration,
it's
wonderful
to
be
here
again.
My
name
is
Alicia
Henry
with
me
tonight,
I
have
my
associate
Molly
kallis.
We
are
your
investment
banker.
We
were
here
last
year
for
the
Independence
Middle
School
and
we're
here
tonight
to
start
the
first
phase
of
the
Elementary
Center
project.
F
However,
we're
going
to
find
this
in
two
phases,
the
estimated
cost
of
project
is
around
120
million,
we're
going
to
borrow
55
million
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
23
to
provide
initial
funding
to
start
construction
phase,
two
could
happen
in
2024,
as
funds
are
needed
based
upon,
spend
down
and
interest
earnings.
When
final
costs
have
been
determined
similar
to
the
Independence
Middle
School
financing.
Last
year,
we
will
use
a
multi-phase
financing
that
wraps
around
your
existing
Debt
Service
to
minimize
your
budgetary
impact,
we'll
also
use
some
capitalized
interest
to
phase
in
the
debt.
F
F
F
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
look
at
this
bond
issue
in
a
as
a
solo
because
there
is
going
to
be
a
second
phase.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
sell
the
first
bond
issue,
knowing
the
second
bond
issue
is
coming
to
leave
room
to
it,
so
that,
ultimately
we
end
up
with
the
sage
green
box,
which
is
a
level
Debt
Service.
F
So
we
have
two
blue
boxes.
On
the
the
left
hand
side,
that's
a
summary
of
the
bond
issues.
As
we
know
today,
the
2023
bond
issue
will
be
55
million
dollars.
We've
made
an
estimated
date
of
11
15,
but
that
is
just
an
estimate.
The
final
maturity
as
it
stands
today
would
be
2048
August,
which
would
actually
be
fiscal
year.
49
and
the
all
ntic
is
a
475.
F
series
of
24.
Again
is
a
big
estimate
of
65
million
dollars
dated
about
a
year
from
now.
Final
maturity
would
wrap
around
the
2023
bonds
and
we're
being
conservative
and
and
estimating
an
interest
rate
of
a
487,
but
our
hope
is
at
some
point
the
interest
rates
start
to
tick
down
in
2024,
which
is
why
we're
saving
the
bigger
bond
issue
for
later
next
year.
F
F
The
middle
gray
boxes
illustrate
the
estimated
Debt
Service
for
the
23
bonds,
which
wrap
perfectly
around
your
existing
debt
start
amortizing
principle
you'll
see
in
2040
a
little
bit
of
Step
Up,
and
then
we
estimate
the
2024
at
the
exact
same
time,
leaving
room
for
those
taking
it
out
a
little
bit
farther
to
2052,
and
the
third
column
is
how
we're
utilizing
the
capitalized
interest
to
get
us
to
the
sage,
green
box
and
the
budgetary
impact.
We
have
three
equal
phases
of
1.99
million
dollars.
F
F
And
for
those
of
you
who
are
more
visual
rather
than
all
these
numbers,
this
is
just
a
nice
picture.
The
dark
gray
box
is
where
your
existing
debt
stands
today
at
Just
Around,
8
million
dollars
The
Orange
Box
reflects
the
roll
in
of
the
2023
Bonds.
On
top
of
that,
and
then
again,
the
black
is
the
2024
keeping
Debt
Service
level
and
then
declining.
F
F
The
next
fed
meeting
is
actually
tomorrow,
where
they're
we've
been
told.
There's
a
zero
percent
chance
of
a
Fed
increase,
so
fingers
crossed
we'll
learn
a
lot
about
what
could
happen
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
If
there's
an
inclination
that
there
could
be
another
Fed
rate
by
the
end
of
the
year,
then
it's
likely
we
will
probably
move
rather
quickly
through
the
bond
process
and
try
to
sell
Bonds
in
the
month
of
October,
because
the
next
two
fed
meetings
will
not
be
till
November
or
December,
and
then
it
takes
30
days
to
close.
G
C
H
Good
evening,
it's
good
to
see
you
all
tonight
as
the
district's
Bond
Council.
Our
office
has
prepared
your
sister's
already
reviewed
Mr
Cox.
These
closets
have
reviewed
a
resolution.
That's
on
the
agenda
for
next
week.
It
is
the
resolution
will
authorized
this
indebtedness.
It's
a
somewhat
lengthy
document
because
it
does
represent
a
long-term
commitment
of
the
district
to
repay
this
debt.
It
not
only
touches
base
on
the
local
government
unit
debt
act,
which
is
the
statute
that
governs
borrowings
by
school
districts
in
Pennsylvania,
authorizes
all
the
things
that
the
actor
Will
explore.
H
It
contains
covenants
for
the
payment
and
management
Administration,
the
bonds,
federal
tax,
covenants,
Federal,
Securities,
Law
covenants
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
all
in
one
document.
Pennsylvania
law
really
expects
that
your
contract
with
bondholders
is
captured
in
this
legislation.
So
that's
again,
sort
of
reason
for
its
length,
but
it's
consistent
with
the
document
you
did
in
the
past
last
year
for
the
for
the
borrowing
for
Independence
and
for
the
others
that
are
on
your
book.
So
there's
nothing.
Extending
your
liability
or
increasing
your
obligation
here.
H
H
I
think.
The
thing
that's
probably
most
important
is
is
that
the
document,
if
you
do
take
a
look
at
it
and
really
you
should
watch
the
Steeler
game
and
not
read
this
thing,
but
if
you
do
take
a
look
at
it
at
some
point
on
page
five
there's
a
description
of
the
project
and
you
know,
obviously
it's
the
elementary
school
project,
although
there's
money
obligated
or
money
denoted
in
here
to
complete
Independence,
if
you
should
have
some
carryover
and
as
Alicia
said,
this
is
just
the
first
part
of
what
you
expect
to
do.
H
H
This
approach,
which
is
that
the
schedule
for
your
maximum
borrowing
has
to
not
only
specify
total
maximum
and
total
highest
interest
rate
that
you
might
experience,
but
also
the
maximum
principle
that
amortizes
each
and
every
year,
and
that's
because
of
how
they
interpreted
some
language.
They
act
about
your
budgetary
commitments,
annual
budgetary
Appropriations.
H
I
would
rather
leave
plenty
of
cushion
here,
but
the
expectation
is
you're
not
going
to
borrow
this
much
money
this
time
around
you're
going
to
borrow
that
55
million
dollar
range
and
it's
just
the
technicality
that
we
have
to
work
around
under
the
ACT.
And
it's
what
we've
done.
The
last
couple
questions
for
me
on
the
legal
side,
happy
to
answer
anything
and
if
you
have
something
you
think
of
later
I'm
sure
the
same
is
true
for
PNC's
presentation,
Channel
them
through
Doug
and
we'll
get
right
back
to
you.
H
J
We
are
working
not
only
on
our
individual
scopes
of
work
us
and
our
team,
but
we're
also
working
with
macero
on
all
the
front,
end
documents,
and
so
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
of
things
relative
to
our
approvals
timeline,
as
you
all
know
that
we've
been
going
through
approvals
for
a
very
long
time,
but
we
are
just
ever
so
slightly
at
the
home
stretch.
Here
we
do
have
the
npdesk
county
approval
and
the
dep
approval
for
the
stream
Crossing.
So
those
are
in
hand
and
won't
hold
us
up.
J
The
sewer
planning
module
was
something
that
was
another
approval
timeline
that
was
kind
of
our
longest
duration,
that
we
anticipated
we've
received
minor
comments
from
dep
and
our
engineer.
Hrg
has
supplied
them
with
the
additional
information,
so
we're
just
waiting
for,
hopefully,
the
stamp
of
approval
on
that
one
thing
that
will
be
coming
along
for
the
district
and
your
solicitor
will
be
the
developers
agreement.
We
did
receive
a
draft
version
of
that
developers
agreement.
J
First
of
all,
we
know
that
the
municipalities
already
indicate
indicated
that
they're
going
to
issue
a
grading
permit,
so
that
the
site
construction
can
start
right
out
of
the
gate
for
the
building
permit.
They
won't
really
review
the
drawings
for
a
code
approval
until
they're
done,
so
we
will
be
submitting
those
at
the
time
that
we
go
out
to
bid
and
we
would
anticipate
making
any
corrections
that
need
to
be
made
during
the
bidding
process.
So
we
don't
anticipate
that
holding
up
the
start
of
construction
because
the
first
I
don't
know
nine
months.
J
This
is
kind
of
all
of
us
here,
but
I'll
I'll
be
the
the
voice
box.
Here,
macero
has
taken
a
hard
look
at
the
drawings
and
the
scope
of
the
project
and
has
a
pulse
on
the
contractors
out
in
the
region
right
now,
and
this
breakdown
of
construction
contracts
is
where
we've
landed.
So
we've
got
the
general
construction,
HVAC
construction,
Plumbing,
fire
protection
electrical
and
then
the
food
service
equipment,
which
is,
would
be
the
kitchen
equipment.
So
that's
what
we
plan
on
putting
out
on
the
street
is
for
the
six
Prime
contracts.
L
Evening
everybody,
it's
nice
to
be
back,
you
should
have
in
your
packet
this
executive
summary.
This
is
a
detailed
list
of
your
soft
costs
and
then
a
brief
breakdown
of
the
construction
costs
we
have
included
and
given
to
the
district.
The
50
page
cost
estimate
that
has
you
want
to
know
how
much
we're
paying
to
grease
up
the
foundation
walls
since
it's
in
there.
L
But
this
is
the
really
detailed
you
know,
breakdown
into
you
know,
yards
of
concrete
tons
of
steel
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
am
very
happy
to
say
that
when
I
was
before
you
last
time,
I
thought
we
were
about
10
percent
high
and
then
that
the
number
would
seed
back
and
I
was
close.
It
was
about
eight
percent
High
we're
about
102,
but
I
need
to
stress
to
everybody
here.
That's
listening
that
this
is
a
conservative
number.
We
anticipate
this
to
be
the
middle
of
the
pack.
L
This
is
fair
market
value,
it's
impossible
for
me
to
gauge
how
hungry
somebody
is
and
how
many
somebody
that
might
live
in
the
district
that
wants
to
be
part
of
this
project
might
really
sharpen
their
pencil
to
do
that.
So
we
would
anticipate
the
project
coming
in
less
than
this.
Our
track
record
over
20
years
at
macero
is
about
nine
percent
over
low
bid.
L
L
We
are
seeing
receding
prices,
I
had
a
very
long
meeting
with
our
operations
group
about
two
months
ago.
I
don't
know
if
you've,
probably
nobody
follows
our
industry,
but
there's
a
kind
of
a
big
blow
up,
but
a
couple
different
schools
around
the
area,
and
so
we
really
took
a
hard
look
at
all
of
our
unit
costs.
We
are
seeing
things
like
Roofing,
glazing
and
stuff
like
that,
starting
to
not
get
back
to
normal,
but
you
know
recede
a
little
bit,
but
for
some
unknown
reason,
electrical
switch
gear.
L
Generators
are
almost
a
year
and
a
half
out
which
has
never
been
like
that
in
my
entire
career,
so
I
don't
know
what's
holding
it
holding
that
up.
But
these
these
this
estimate
does
reflect.
You
know
not
low
ball.
You
know
game
day
prices.
We
were
very
conservative
with
our
unit
price,
you
know
quantities
and
it
was.
L
I
think
once
they
submit
a
number,
that
number
is
good
for
60
days
and
that's
enough,
that's
the
number
okay.
So
the
only
thing
that
I
would
see
that
Cassie
brought
up
earlier
is.
We
cannot
award
any
contracts
until
we
have
bit
of
permits
in
hand.
So
if
we're
bidding
and
doing
the
permit
review
at
the
same
time,
that's
cool
we've
done
that
before.
But
if
the
comment
period
exceeds
the
bid
period,
the
bid
period
will
have
to
be
extended.
Okay
and
there's
really
no
way
to
go
back
after
they've.
D
E
G
M
B
M
N
M
B
L
One
really
good
thing
is
that
if
you
look
at
the
very
last
page
of
the
executive
summary-
and
you
see
the
bid
package
values,
they
are
extremely
high.
So
the
general
trades
package
alone
is
70
million
dollars,
so
the
companies
that
can
bond
that
also
have
the
buying
capacity
to
get
better
deals.
Okay,
so
we're
hoping
that
plays
in
a
little
bit,
but
I
was
actually
talking
to
mascara
recently
and
I
think
he
dropped
the
phone.
L
When
I
said
that
the
general
trades
package
was
70
million,
he
was
like
no,
no,
what's
the
at
the
school
project,
you
know
my.
You
know
our
bed
I'm
like
it's
going
to
be
between
65
and
70
million
dollars,
and
there's
it's
like
phone
silence.
So
but
yeah
we
are
going
to
start
making
our
phone
calls
and
starting
to
attract
the
bidders.
L
I
will
be
calling
them
and
emailing
them
weekly
to
let
them
know
to
save
this
time
in
their
bidding
schedule
and
the
drawings
will
be
made
available,
and
you
know
all
of
that
stuff.
So
we're
going
to
start
getting
into
that
I
just
got
back
from
vacation,
so
I'm
going
to
be
spending
some
time,
putting
some
dollar
values
to
the
alternates.
All
that's
a
really
slippery
slope,
but
we'll
try
to
give
us
some
sort
of
gauge
on
that.
L
So
that
was
going
to
be
my
segue
into
the
alternates
we
have
about
seven
listed
here
right
now,
there's
probably
going
to
be
more
by
bid
day,
but
obviously
we'll
run
it
past
the
school
district
and
talk
about
the
pros
and
cons
of
those
ideas.
But
the
the
idea
is,
the
alternates
is
to
have
just
have
a
little
bit
more
control
on
the
day,
depending
upon
how
the
numbers
you
know
come
in
yeah.
J
You
know,
I,
don't
think
anybody
has
contemplated
those
as
as
actual
desirable
outcomes,
but
they're
just
ways
for
us
to
have
a
fallback
position.
Should
the
numbers
come
in
High,
some
of
the
other
ones
like
that
relate
to
things
like
the
playground
surfacing
and
Equipment.
Those
potentially
have
the
ability
to
reduce
the
costs
up
front
but
also
potentially
delay
those
costs
you
know,
rather
than
putting
them
into
the
general
construction
costs.
J
Maybe
we
wait
the
two
years
and
or
or
whatever
it
ends
up
being
to
when
you
actually
need
to
sign
the
check
on
the
playground-
and
you
know
you
purchase
it
at
that
time
and
it
just
kind
of
potentially
delays
it
or
lets
the
decision
making
be
a
little
bit
different.
Things
like
eliminating
some
case
work,
that's
just
kind
of
going
through
and
and
making
minor
reductions
kind
of
holistically
around
the
building,
eliminating
the
LGI
seating.
J
You
know
those
could
always
be
purchased
separately,
they're,
not
kind
of
interwoven
to
the
architecture.
So
if
you
decided
that
you
couldn't
afford
them
on
day
one,
they
could
be
purchased
and
installed
later
and
then
things
like
smaller
things
like
the
there's,
a
fiber
line,
the
the
data
closet,
the
MDF
room
at
this
building
is
meant
to
be
set
up
as
kind
of
your
secondary.
J
You
know
main
hub
for
the
district,
and
so
we
have
two
fiber
lines
running
to
the
closet.
But
we've
talked
about
that
second
line
being
possibly
an
alternate.
We
have
a
handful
of
other
little
things
that
are
on
our
list.
That
will
either
give
you
choices
or
will
give
you
minor
relief
fouls,
but
these
were
kind
of
the
ones
that
we
saw
as
being
the
the
bigger
ticket
items
that
could
more
dramatically
impact
the
costs
on
day.
One.
B
M
All
right,
since
this
is
really
my
first
time
standing
in
front
of
you,
I
just
want
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
Nancy
gorgas
I'm,
a
senior
project
manager
with
Miss
Taro,
been
with
him
for
15
years,
I've
been
working
with
Cassie's
team
working
on
the
front
ends
while
Dan's
been
working
on
the
estimate
and
the
constructability
review
you
all
should
have
the
little
more
outlined.
M
M
We'll
have
a
pre-bid
meeting
right
now.
We're
talking
about
doing
that
at
nams
after
school
is
out.
We'll
talk
to
the
contractors
that
are
interested
in
the
project.
Tell
them
about
the
project.
We'll
then
have
the
ability
to
go
out
and
walk
the
site
with
them.
So
it's
a
good
way
for
us
to
kind
of
get
them
familiarized
with
the
project,
what
we're
expecting
for
the
bid,
and
then
we
always
establish
a
set
bid
period
with
a
week
extra.
So
the
way
we've
teed
this
up
is
we'll
do
a
five-week
bid
period.
M
We
need
at
least
five
weeks
it's
a
big
project.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
contractors
have
enough
time.
We
can
guarantee
that
they
will
all
be
asking
for
more,
so
we
always
at
least
have
one
week
built
in.
So
that's
why
there's
two
different
dates.
The
big
problem
we
have
really
for
us
is
because
we're
right
up
against
the
holidays,
so
the
dates
we
have
selected
is
in
order
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
bid
in
before
Thanksgiving.
So
the
14th
is
our
first
bid
day.
M
That
would
give
us
time.
We
can
take
a
look
at
the
bids
scope.
Those
bids
out
make
sure
that
everybody
has
everything
that
they
should
have
in
their
bid
also
gives
us
the
time
to
make
sure
that
we've,
given
the
board
the
time
they
need
to
select
the
alternates
they
would
like
to
choose
and
then,
ultimately,
with
a
board
meeting
on
the
12th
to
select
and
award
contracts
to
the
contractors.
M
M
That
I
apologize
so
as
a
part
of
the
project,
there's
specifications
that
are
required
for
every
single
different
piece
of
material
product
system
that
has
to
go
into
your
building,
but
the
first
two
sections
are:
zero,
zero
and
zero
one
and
those
are
what
we
call
the
front:
end
documents
and
they're.
Basically,
the
rules
of
the
project,
the
first
division:
zero
is
the
rule
of
the
bid
all
of
the
different
requirements
Associated
to
bidding
the
project,
and
then
0
1
is
the
rules
of
the
construction
project.
M
It's
one
of
the
reasons
macero
likes
to
be
intimately
involved
in
developing
the
front
ends
because,
ultimately,
as
your
CM
we're
the
ones
that
are
making
sure
everyone
follows
those
roles
and
guidelines,
so
we've
been
working
with
draw,
we
create.
We
have
the
documents
we've
sent
them
to
draw.
They
can
make
their
own
edits
because,
obviously
they're
a
part
of
the
team
they're,
the
initial
decision
maker,
so
they
have
a
very
good
part
of
it.
These
are
projects
we've
done
before.
Together
they
do
their
edits
and
then
I'll
sit
down
with
our
team.
M
Make
sure
that
we
agree
with
their
edits.
If
we
don't
or
we
need
to
talk
about
them,
we'll
go
through
them
together,
but
ultimately
the
goal
is
for
us
to
have
a
set
of
documents
that
are
the
guidelines
for
bidding
the
project
as
well
as
the
construction,
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
that
we're
giving
the
the
contractors
the
correct
information
to
bid
the
project
correctly.
G
M
Is
that
the
goal
here
is
that
when
everything's
ready-
and
we
have
the
online
plan
room
set
up,
we
want
to
be
able
to
the
board
actually
has
to
authorize
that
the
project
goes
out
to
bid.
So
we're
not
necessarily
tying
you
into
the
specific
dates.
It
just
means
that
you're
giving
us
authorization
that,
when
everything's
ready
to
go
we're
okay
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
the
bid.
G
Us
is
it
yeah,
so
this
my
calendar
is
correct.
Then
this
will
be
going
out
to
bid
before
the
next
facilities
committee
meeting,
which
is
why
we're
asking
for
it
this
month
correct.
But
is
it
reasonable
to
have
perhaps
the
final
drawings
here
for
the
board
to
preview
before
the
bid
on
the
big
scene
I'm
a
firm
months,
yeah.
B
B
M
Would
like
to
join
us,
it's
a
public
meeting!
Okay!
You
know
it
is
always
an
interesting.
It's
always
exciting
to
see.
You
know
how
many,
how
many
contractors
we
have
you
know.
Obviously
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
getting
all
of
the
information,
so
anybody
is
welcome
to
join
us
in
that
what
I
can
plan
to
do
is
when
that
meeting
is
set,
and
we
do
the
invite
for
it.
I'll
make
sure
that
Doug
and
Mark
receive
that
invite
and
they
can
share
with
the
board
if
that's
acceptable,.
A
G
B
O
Spain
to
recommend
that
for
next
consent
agenda
agenda.
Okay.
The
second
item
is
approval
of
Fellowship
programs.
Board
of
directors
approves
the
administration's
recommendation
to
approve
Dr
Sarah
shoe
to
participate
in
the
two
2023-2024
Pennsylvania
fellowship
program
for
special
educational
leaders.
Approximate
cost
would
be
two
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
seven
dollars
and
eighty
eight
cents.
N
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
on
being
accepted
to
that,
and
thank
you
so
much
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
children
in
our
district
for
applying
to
it.
It
is
an
absolutely
wonderful
program
and
I'm
very
thrilled
to
see
you
participate
that
in
the
in
that
and
what
you
bring
back
here
to
the
district.
So
thank
you.
It's
a
lot
of
work
too.
So
thank
you
for
that.

Just

Does
anyone
have
any

on
any
of
those

or
want
anything
held
out?
Could.
I
I
K
I
I
H
I
H
I
B
C
B
Q
I
I
L
I
Know
we've
talked
about
most
of
this,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
I
get
it
all
right.
The
revisions
to
policy
the
third
and
final
reading
for
zero
zero
six
and
meetings,
201
admission
for
students,
216.1,
supplemental
discipline,
record
and
250
student
experiencing
homelessness,
foster
care
and
other
educational
instabilities.
I.
Ask
that
those
that
item
with
those
four
policies
be
moved
to
the
consent
agenda
for
next
week.
I
G
G
Correct
so
there's
quite
a
few
ARS
on
tonight's
agenda,
as
I
mentioned
last
month,
we've
been
moving
systematically
through
previously.
Was
the
policies
now
we're
moving
through
the
ARs
to
update
them
all
this
month,
you're
getting
the
200
level
policy
ARS
next
month
will
be
the
300s
and
so
on
this.
These
several
of
these
up
were
updated
because
of
the
homelessness
changes
in
policy.
G
One
of
them
is
a
new
AR
that
didn't
previously
exist
and
I
appreciate
our
solicitors,
help
with
the
development
of
number
five,
which
is
238,
AR
parent
of
record
and
again
just
for
clarification
or
confirmation,
ARS
or
administrative
regulations.
This
is
the
directives
the
the
board
gives
to
the
administration
to
implement
policy,
so
you're
acknowledging
their
existence
tonight.
But
it's
not
something
you
have
to
approve.
I
G
I
I
B
B
I
Q
I
guess
I
would
just
say:
I
know
that
this
isn't.
You
know
the
full
intent
of
the
discussion
of
the
AR,
since
it's
mainly
just
for
updating
based
on
our
homeless
students
policies,
but
I
appreciate
the
conversation
in
the
AR
around
discipline.
Schools
about
restorative
practices,
there's
a
lot
of
very
good
data.
To
show
that
you
know
those
sorts
of
things
decrease
suspensions
decrease
bullying,
result
in
better
school
climate.
I'd
also
like
to
comment
on
the
what
was
the
other
one:
the
compulsory
attendance
and
unexcused
unexcused
absences.
Q
You
know
from
conversations
I've
had
this.
Is
our
general
I
guess
framework
that
we
approach
but
I
just
encouraged
to
steer
away
from
you
know,
pushing
store
students
towards
you,
know
Court
hearings
and
things
like
that
over
Mr
absences
and
things
like
that,
because
those
generally
do
result
in
worse
outcomes
for
the
students
and
actually
worse
attendance,
so
you're
really
exacerbating
the
problem,
but
I
know
you
know
that
we.
G
Yeah,
so
those
attendance
hearings
is
sort
of
a
new
state
regulation
that
we
had
to
implement
last
year,
and
so
this
AR
is
kind
of
aligning
ourselves
with
that
practice.
But
the
good
news
is
that
it's
chaired
by
the
principal-
and
he
definitely
takes
good
input
from
all
interested
parties
before
they
make
a
decision
on
what
to
do
about
an
attendance
case.
Thanks
right.
Q
A
B
N
N
N
N
Look
yeah:
maybe
we
should
check
into
that.
I
don't
know,
but
yes
in
in
general,
all
of
those
non-exclusionary
methods
of
discipline
is
is
really
also
what
the
the
Federal
Department
of
Education
is
encouraging,
because
exclusion
does
not
endure
people
to
you
or
make
them
cooperative
and
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
appreciate
the
parent
of
record
AR
in
that
conversation,
because
I
think
trying
to
figure
out
which
parent
you
need
to
talk
to,
or
you
can't
talk
to
those
are
situations
that
I
think
we
need
to
help
staff
work
through.
B
Okay,
anything
else
so
here
the
only
thing
that
goes
on
the
consent
agenda
is
item
number
one.
Everything
else
will
not
even
appear
on
the
agenda
next
week.
Correct
correct
so
other
under
other
I
can
just
take
those
because
they're
quick.
So
we
will
put
the
evaluation
for
superintendent
on
the
the
approval
we
have
to
do
that
once
a
year.
It's
a
part
of
the
Board
responsibility.
B
N
So
at
our
next
voting
meeting
we
will
be
voting
on
these
elections
and
everything
except
the
last
column,
The
Forum
steering
committee.
All
of
the
other
positions
that
are
up
they're.
The
number
of
people
running
is
the
number
of
seats
available,
so
there
isn't
really
a
choice.
So
those
are
the
positions
that
we
need
to
vote
on
and
those
are
the
candidates
who
are
running
for
them.
The
Forum
steering
committee
has
something
to
do
with
the
board.
N
I
C
C
N
Vote,
the
other
thing
is
November,
4th
I
believe
is
when
psba
does
virtual
voting
meeting
about
its
priorities
for
the
upcoming
year
and
it's
legislative
efforts
and
that's
where
I
will
do
what
Mr
Walsh
was
talking
about
vote
for
us,
although
I
think
other
people
are
allowed
to
attend.
So
if
anybody
would
like
to
join
me,
it's
a
lot
of
fun.
If
you
like
policy.
B
I
And
it
went
till
the
Tuesday
we
are
working
with.
That
subcommittee
is
working
with
the
administration
to
put
that
up
for
a
couple
more
days
online
on
at
the
municipal
building,
we've
just
got
to
work
with
the
municipal
staff
to
get
that
up
and
running
it'll
be
the
same
way.
You
can
go
up
and
snap
it
go
from
there,
so
that
will
be
up
again
before
mid-october.
We
just
need
to
get
all
that
done,
like
you
said,
we'll
get
some
reports
and
figure
it
all
out.
Q
I
guess
I'll
add
my
dni
Task
Force
update
two
we
met
last
week.
The
dni
task
force
will
now
be
called
the
equity
inclusion
belonging
I
know
that's
confusing,
but
that
is
kind
of
the
route
that
pde's
gone.
So
the
other
big
thing
is
fostering
student
belonging
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
named
the
group
accordingly,
so
it
really
jive
with
everything
the
PD
is
doing
so.
You'll
see
that
updated
on
the
website
so
that
it
kind
of
makes
sense
that
it
is
consistent.
Q
I
know
that
that
creates
a
contradiction
with
the
dni
goal
that
we
have
in
our
strategic
plan,
but
just
know
that
you
know
the
equity
inclusion
belonging
task
force
is
going
to
attempt
to
further
those
goals.
Main
focus
of
the
meeting
was
creating
a
new
survey
for
new
members,
especially
students.
We
lost
a
lot
due
to
graduation
this
past
year
and
we
also
lost
a
few
other
members
as
well.
So
we
created
a
new
survey
for
people
who
would
like
to
join
expect
to
see
that
on
social
media
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
B
Q
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
overlap
with
student
experience.
Yes,
I,
don't
I,
don't
you
know.
I
haven't
really
been
involved
in
the
student
experience
efforts
in
the
past,
so
I
can't
say
to
what
extent
they've
also
encompassed
de
and
I
or
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
efforts,
so
I
can't
I
can't
really
speak
to
that
part,
though.
N
It
only
because,
if
you
are
interested,
you
would
probably
appreciate
planning
for
it
now,
but
as
the
pspa
liaison,
you
should
have
received
an
email
today,
letting
you
know
that
the
first
week
of
October
is
psba
advocacy
week,
so
you
can
participate
virtually
if
anyone's
interested
in
going
to
Harrisburg
in
the
middle
of
the
week,
in
the
middle
of
the
day
from
here,
you're
welcome
to
I.
I
don't
happen
to
be
over
there
that
week,
so
I
will
be
virtual,
but
you
should
have
gotten
an
email
today.
N
If
you
didn't
get
it
or
you
can't
find
it,
please,
let
me
know
I'm
happy
to
send
it
to
you.
Psba
will
work
with
you
to
make
sure
you're
aware
of
what
the
psba
issues
are,
that
they
would
like
you
to
meet
with
your
legislators
and
they'll,
set
up
those
meetings
virtually
and
help
you
with
talking
points
of
how
to
advance
the
agenda
for
public
education,
for
students
in
our
state
and
what
those
kind
of
priorities
are
and
things
that
they'd
like
to
talk
to
legislators
about
Tiffany.
Any
help
with
that.
Please
feel
free
to.
