Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'm,
looking
to
hear
about
how
we're
going
to
make
our
schools
healthy
for
our
students
and
teachers
to
learn
and
to
and
to
teach
and
to
and
to
be
safe
and
as
well.
Also
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
we
also
have
several.
We
have
many
hearings,
but
we
do
have
the
option
of
rejecting
the
budget
the
first
time.
So
then
we
have
another
series
of
of
hearings
after
so
it's
it's
a
good
way
to
negotiate
and
to
engage
with
BPS
teams.
D
B
E
F
Thank
you
good
morning.
Everyone
I
want
to
thank
everyone
from
the
BPS
team.
Follow
the
work
that
you
do
on
behalf
of
our
kids
really
excited
to
hear
from
you
about
the
ways
that
we've
been
improving
systems
and
making
things
work.
So
we'll
hold
my
questions
and
comments
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
meet
our
kids
potential.
So
thank
you.
B
G
H
H
G
Thank
you
so
much
and
good
morning,
City
councilors
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
morning
on
operations
for
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
We
believe
that
a
high
performing
essential
office
is
critical
for
supporting
schools
and
students.
Over
the
last
few
years,
we've
invested
in
facilities
upgrades
and
operational
improvements
to
eliminate
barriers
to
learning.
We
know
that
world-class
instruction
is
only
made
better
by
world-class
facilities,
so
we
continue
to
invest
in
facilities,
upgrades
and
improvements.
G
We
know
that
students
who
are
hungry
have
a
harder
time
learning,
so
we
strive
to
provide
high
quality,
free
meals
for
all
students,
and
we
know
that
nothing
is
more
important
than
a
high
quality
teacher
in
every
classroom.
So
we
continue
to
invest
in
human
capital
systems
and
in
recruiting
culturally
diverse
and
talented
students.
We
know
that
operations
are
critical
for
closing
opportunity
and
achievement
gaps.
G
We
conducted
a
review
of
funding
for
our
lowest
performing
schools
and
we've
done
a
deep
dive
in
transportation
and
student
safety.
We'll
also
highlight
the
progress
you've
made
of
facilities,
condition
assessments
and
the
k6
7-12
facilities,
design
studies.
This
operational
work
lays
the
foundation
for
the
superintendent's
budget
priorities.
G
I
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you.
Mr
Cooter
first
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
discussing
a
little
bit
about
our
future
planning
with
our
facilities
Department
in
our
facilities
in
general,
we
are
creating
and
implementing
a
long-term
facilities
plan
that
will
guarantee
access
in
the
focusing
services
for
every
student
we'll
do
that
by
developing
a
facilities
plan.
I
I
I
I
We
will
continue
to
invest
money
in
our
HVAC
systems,
our
outdoor
educational
spaces
and
playgrounds
and
invest
in
our
critical
infrastructure
needs
in
the
district,
with
our
full
nutritional
I
apologize
and
when
our
facilities
can
submission
assessment
is
complete.
That
will
help
us
inform
and
plan
for
future
facilities
projects
within
our
food.
Nutritional
Services
Department
we'll
continue
to
invest
in
staff
training
for
on-site
cooking
in
all
of
our
schools,
with
our
technology
division
or
Department,
we
will
be
refreshing
all
students,
secretary
and
professional
computers,
and
improve
our
cyber
security
infrastructure.
I
Our
transportation
department
will
continue
to
work
and
plan
on
expanding
our
electric
vehicle
pilot.
As
you
recall,
we
expanded
20
buses
into
our
flea
this
this
this
school
year
with
Safety,
Services,
Department,
we'll
be
expanding.
The
office
of
Emergency
Management
in
our
human
capital,
in
our
finance
departments,
will
be
planning
for
future
Investments
needed
to
support
internal
restructuring
of
those
two
departments
based
on
the
strategic
planning
work
currently
underway
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
immediate
actions
we've
taken
in
the
department
of
facilities,
Transportation
food
nutritional
services
on
one
partnering
with
our
city.
Colleagues,
on
on
the
green
New
Deal
for
BPS,
increasing
our
Environmental
Services
across
the
district,
the
facilities
condition
assessments,
which
I
mentioned
earlier
and
developing
a
facilities
party
plan.
I
I
I
I
I
So,
just
briefly,
some
of
the
immediate
action
steps
we've
taken
to
support
student
Support
Division
in
our
Safety
Division
with
student
supports.
First,
we
increased
the
number
of
supervising
attendants
to
align
with
our
regional
model.
This
will
bring
us
to
one
supervisor
per
one
of
the
price
of
the
nine
regions.
We've
increased
our
bullying
prevention,
intervention,
work,
expanded
the
use
of
RG
practices
at
schools
in
the
central
office,
developed
peer
mediation
program
and
expanding
our
our
mentoring
program,
as
well
with
our
safety
Services.
I
I
And
so
immediate
action,
we've
taken
around
teacher
recruitment,
we've
hosted
seven
different
recruitment
events
and,
with
those
events
focused
on
multi-lingual
educators,
diversity,
Affairs
and
demo
days
that
focus
on
internal
Pipelines,
attended
over
30
fairs
and
recruitment
of
candidates
of
color.
This
includes
Multicultural,
multilingual
and
diversity,
focused
fairs.
I
I
We've
had
300
or
about
400
candidates
apply
for
early
hiring
pool.
73
of
those
applicants
have
already
applied
for
at
least
one
job
posted
for
the
upcoming
school
year.
Of
that
72
percent
of
black
and
African-American
candidates
have
applied
for
at
least
one
position.
68
of
Asian
candidates
have
applied
to
at
least
one
position.
I
I
G
B
B
C
C
The
other
question
really
in
terms
of
hitchvac
and
all
of
our
schools.
Where
are
we
at
with
hitchback
and
installation
in
our
schools?
We
are
experiencing
increasing
heat
and
waves
outside
of
this,
the
Deep
sort
of
July
and
August
summer
months
we
may
may
and
September
we
might
anticipate
very
hot
temperatures
and
we
have
summer
programs
in
our
schools
during
July
and
August.
C
The
ABA
programs
do
we
I
I,
know
that
we're
transporting
our
students
out
of
Austin
brightened
because
we
don't.
Since
the
Jackson
Man
closed,
we
don't
have
an
ABI
program
in
Austin
in
in
this
neighborhood
Austin
Brighton
of
any
of
the
schools.
Are
there
plans
to
stay
to
establish
an
ABA
program,
I
think
our
students
are
going
to
the
curly
or
asking
to
go
to
the
curly,
which
would
be
the
nearest
school
in
JP,
but
that's
usually
oversubscribed,
and
they
end
up
going
further
away,
and
especially
our
younger
in
the
younger
grades.
C
It's
very
it's
not
acceptable.
Many
of
our
parents
use
public
transit.
It
takes
40
minutes
in
a
car,
it
could
take
you
an
hour
and
a
half
on
the
buses
to
get
and
get
to
get
to
the
schools,
and
these
are
working
families,
some
of
them
work
in
two
jobs.
So
it's
really
difficult
for
them
to
attend
teacher
meetings
Etc
with
their
for
their
students.
The
other
question
I
had
was
with
regard
to
reading
support
for
in
the
higher
grades.
I
know
we
have
this
ideal
that
we
would.
C
Our
children
should
be
reading
at
grade
level
by
third
or
fourth
grade,
but
the
reality
is
that
many
of
our
students
are
entering
high
school
and
they're.
They
don't
have
reading
proficiency.
Are
we
investing
in
Reading
Specialists
for
those
higher
grades
to
help
those
students
improve
their
reading
proficiency.
C
I
think
it's
naive
to
think
that
all
of
our
students
are
magically
going
to
learn
how
to
be
professional
readers
in
later
grades
and
may
need
help
with
that.
The
I
I
had
a
question
about
compensatory
education
for
our
special
education
students
who
law,
who
were
greatly
impacted
by
covet
I,
don't
know.
Are
we
factoring
in
some
compensatory
education
for
our
special
education
students
due
to
covert
and
I,
had
a
question
about
related
service
providers?
My
understanding
is
related.
C
C
G
Foreign,
you
asked
a
lot
of
good
questions
on
the
academics
side
this
afternoon
at
one
there's
a
hearing
where
Dr
Linda
Chen
our
Deputy
senior
Deputy
superintendent
for
academics
will
will
be
in
attendance
and
she's
the
right
person
to
answer
the
questions
around
related
service
providers,
inclusion
strategy
and
your
reading
specialist
questions.
These
are
all
questions
that
we've
gotten
from
school
leaders
as
well,
so
she'll
be
ready
to
take
that
on
the
you
know,
I
can
I
can
say
sort
of
briefly
reading.
G
G
G
We're
moving
away
from
that
sort
of
thinking
that
way
of
planning
and
really
thinking
about
the
student
needs.
So
where
our
goal
and
the
rollout
of
inclusion
over
the
next
few
years
is
to
make
sure
the
students
who
are
in
Austin
Brighton
with
high
needs,
are
able
to
be
served
by
the
schools
in
Austin
Brighton,
regardless
of
what
their
individual
needs
are,
that
we
really
tailor,
tailor
the
academic
experience
around
them
and,
as
I
said,
Dr
Linda
Chen
will
be
able
to
talk
about
that.
More
you're.
I
I
We
have
about
15
schools
that
are
that
are
not
done,
and
we
do
have
10
schools
that
they're
electrical
footprint
doesn't
allow
for
the
air
conditioners,
so
we're
working
with
evidence
Source
in
other
utilities,
and
grants
to
see
how
we
can
support
those
schools
in
adding
some
HVAC
capacity
there.
So,
in
short,
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
with
those
with
those
projects.
C
I
C
And
I
had
a
quick
question
about
yeah
outdoor
facilities
and
playgrounds.
I
know
that
the
bald
one
The
Early
Learning
pilot
Academy
at
the
Baldwin
has
you
know
their
playground
is
really
really
bad
and
I
was
thinking
about
trying
to
get
CPA
money
for
it.
But
I
don't
know.
Could
we
put
that
on
the
list
for
a
look-see
and
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
it's
a
it's.
C
I
Your
support
and
pushing
for
the
CPA
dollars
and
Happy
support
with
that
application.
We
do
and
have
had
an
assessment
of
volleyball
playgrounds
and
all
the
outdoor
infrastructure,
so
we
do
have
a
lot
of
that
mapped
out
and
assessed
so
right
now,
it's
just
a
matter
of
figuring
out
how
we
prioritize
them
with
our
opportunity,
index
and
and
prioritize
a
lot
of
the
work
in
in
the
FCA
will
again
support
with
some
of
those
decisions.
C
C
You
have
a
minute
a
minute.
Okay,
the
I'm,
just
curious
about
the
student,
the
transportation
question,
I
I
know
we
spend
a
massive
amount
of
money
on
transportation
and
our
schools
to
and
from
school,
and
a
like
how?
How
many?
How
many
students
are?
We
are
we
bossing
every
day
and
what
is
the
availability
of
school
School
transit
for
after
school
programs
and
and
for
sports
access
to
sports
after
school.
I
So
we
we
do
provide
transportation
for
athletic
programs
and
teams
and
for
families
that
their
students
attend
like
the
YMCA
or
out
of
out
of
BPS
programs.
We
have
alternative
drop-off
locations
that
we
there's
a
process
that
families
can
sign
up
for
form
to
fill
out
and
instead
of
being
dropped
off
at
a
particular
bus,
stop
they
can
request
to
be
dropped
off
at
a
math
school
program.
B
D
G
G
D
You
want
me
to
go
on
to
another
question
Nate
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
you.
Okay,
last
week
we
had
at
least
one
day
that
was
in
the
90s.
Kids
are
still
in
school,
students
are
still
in
school,
teachers
are
still
teaching.
Were
there
any
issues
at
all.
That
BPS
is
aware
of
BPS
received
any
information
at
all
that
the
HVAC
systems
were
not
working.
Well,
we're
not
working
properly.
I
So
I
know
we
had
a
few
schools,
all
the
ACs
were
up
and
working,
and
you
know
we're
finalizing
the
turnover
season
for
ACS
in
our
schools.
We
started
that
usually
around
middle
of
May
and
they're
done
usually
around
now,
so
all
the
ACs
were
up
and
on,
but
like
everything
else.
So
if
a
system
breaks
down
the
fields
we
have
to,
you
know
Circle
back
with
the
schools
and
make
sure
that
we
make
those
repairs
and
you
get
the
systems
up
and
running
again
if
they
break
down.
I
I
know
one
school
that
I
was
aware
of.
That
was
a
question,
but
it
was
on
and
then
we
just
needed
to
repairs,
but
we
try
to
remind
our
families.
You
know,
to
the
extent
possible
when
there's
a
heat,
wave
or
or
hot
temperatures
to
you
know
it's
an
individual
family
decision,
whether
to
send
their
students
to
school
or
not,
and
we
make
every
attempt
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
cooling
fans
available,
we
make
sure
that
you
know
windows
are
operable
to
help
cool
off
when
needed.
I
I
D
D
I
G
I
Flynn
and
a
lot
of
that
I
would
describe
it
as
part
of
our
bus
driver
shortest
challenges
that
we
were
experiencing,
especially
like
last
year
and
the
year
before,
but
since
we've
stabilized
and
increased
so
much
bus
drivers,
the
number
of
missed
practices
in
in
for
games
or
practices
have
have
significantly
gone
down.
I
I
can't
tell
you
exactly
how
many
we've
dropped
up
they're
they're,
significantly
less
that
have
been
dropped.
D
D
D
I
I,
don't
have
I,
don't
have
any
tolerance
for
that,
so
my
priority
going
forward
is
to
making
sure
that
that
never
happens
again
and
that
every
student
has
access
to
Transportation,
especially
going
to
sports
or
music
or
other
after
school
activities.
That
should
be
a
priority
for
us
is
that
is
that
a
priority
for
you
for
BPS,
and
will
that
not
happen
again?.
I
E
Next
good
morning
and
thank
you
to
the
BPS
Administration
happy
to
see
you
all
I'm,
going
to
most
likely
use
two
rounds,
counselor
Anderson
just
in
case
so
most
of
my
beginning,
questions
are
really
around
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
of
of
our
Personnel
of
color,
both
on
the
central
staff
level,
as
well
as
the
school
level.
So
I'm
curious,
Dr
Filipino.
E
That
appears
to
be
targeted.
I'm
also
curious
about
the
the
and
I'm
not
sure.
If
anyone
here
could
talk
to
me
about
some
updates
in
regards
to
the
mass
Exodus
of
Central
staff
administrators,
particularly
of
color
and
kind
of
what
we
are
doing
to
get
ahead
of,
that
I
know
that
there
was
a
consultant
that
was
hired
to
do
some
reporting
and
to
just
do
some.
E
You
know
collapsing
schools
and
collaborating,
and
you
know
maximizing
on
our
facilities-
and
you
know:
I've
been
there's
some
Rumblings
about
O'brien
being
moved
over
to
West
Roxbury,
and
this
is
even
though
it
was
allegedly
embargoable.
Information
I
just
want
to
say
that
everybody
in
the
community
knows
about
it,
because
everybody's
been
blowing
up
my
phone
about
it.
So
that
said,
I'd
love
to
hear
kind
of
what
your
community
engagement
vision
is
for
caring
from
those
existing
stakeholders
about
a
path
forward.
On
that.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
with
I'll
defer
to
my
constant,
my
colleague,
Miss
Canty,
in
a
second,
but
with
regard
to
employee
discipline
and
employee
Discipline
matters.
We
have
different
Collective
bargain
agreements
that
spell
out
what
those
Progressive
distant
measures
are,
and
we
make
sure
that
those
collective
bargaining
agreements,
the
disciplinary
practices
are
followed,
and
we
closely
monitor
that.
With
our
Labor
Relations
team,
we
have
our
Labor
Relations
teams
ready
to
support
School
leaders
and
a
lot
of
those
Endeavors.
I
Our
goal
is
always
to
retain
and
attract
and
keep
our
educators
of
color
and,
unfortunately,
sometimes
you
know
disciplinary
actions
and
support
to
needed
to
different
staff
members,
and
we
try
to
work
with
the
schools
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
support.
We
provide
support
in
cases
of
disciplinary
matters.
We
follow
our
clip
to
bargaining
obligations,
so
Miss
Candy
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
say
anything
else
to
that,
but
that's
sure
how
I
could
answer
that
question.
I
Okay
and
every
time
with
the
right
to
retaliation
any
claims
we
do
have
our
Equity
office
that
helps
us
support
in
any
retaliatory
claims
that
that
may
come
out
of
the
schools
and
or
essential
offices.
So
we
have
a
real
good
process.
There,
we've
over
the
years
staff
of
that
department
to
be
able
to
really
look
closely
at
a
lot
of
retaliatory
allegations
and
make
recommendations
for
us
as
well.
I
The
last
part
around
us
collapse
in
schools
based
based
on
what
I
described
in
my
presentation,
was
more
around.
Just
give
an
example
of
how
and
if
we
combine
like
study
schools,
how
it
creates
those
k-6
Pathways
that
we're
looking
for
and
frees
up
other
spaces
for
support
services
and
or
enrichment
activity
students,
and
with
regards
to
any,
like
you
know,
proposals
going
forward.
There
will
be
continuous,
ongoing
dialogue
with
the
different,
impacting
communities
you
know
and
having
those
conversations.
So
that's
our
commitment
to
the
community.
I
E
I
Yeah,
usually
we
we
just,
we
develop
design
teams
to
work
with
school
communities
that
consist
of
the
school,
their
stakeholders,
central
office
staff
and
we
think
through
different
scenarios
and
recommendations,
underneath
proposals
going
forward
so
once
the
green
New
Deal.
Sorry,
once
the
facilities
condition
assessment
and
the
Pre-K
to
six
712
studies
are
complete.
That's
when
we'll
be
going
through
a
real,
deep
analysis
of
what
any
future
potential
changes
may
look
like
in
Mbps.
E
And
can
you
just
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about,
and
this
would
be
my
last
question
because
I'm
sure
I'm,
probably
over
the
my
first
round,
around
quality
assurance
I'm,
more
I'm
interested
in
I've,
asked
Nate
this
in
the
past
in
terms
of
just
exit
interviews
or
surveys
that
we
can
conduct
with
families
and
I'm
just
curious?
What
if
any
data
you
have
about
why
employees
are
leaving
BPS?
A
So
the
district
is
engaging
the
process
of
developing
surveys
and
things
of
that
nature
to
see
to
engage
our
employees
as
they're,
leaving
we're
in
the
last
leg
of
that
process
right
now
to
have
a
platform
and
a
system
in
place.
That
would
allow
us
to
gather
to
harness
that
information
and
be
able
to
share
with
the
public
to
share.
As
that
information
is
completed,
but
we
have.
A
We
have
started
that
engagement
process
to
figure
out
how
we
how
we
get
that
information
to
at
some
point
the
other
thing
is
BPS.
One
of
the
reasons
that
we
do
lose
people
is
that
BPS
is,
is
really
a
training
ground
for
a
lot
of
our
employees.
People
do
come
here
because
of
the
breadth
of
knowledge
that
you
can
gain
from
BPS
and
oftentimes.
People
do
take
that
that
knowledge
and
they
do
go
to
other
District.
A
A
B
A
B
A
B
F
Round
is
fine,
12
minutes,
you
have
four
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
BPS
for
being
here.
I
wanted
to
start
off
with
a
question
about
something
regarding
you
know:
we've
heard
from
some
parents
about
the
exam
School
process
and
about
the
letters
that
went
out
incorrectly
to
families
I
believe
they
got
in.
So
this
is
just
like
a
holistic
question.
What
are
we
doing
to
prevent
that
from
happening
in
the
future?
F
Okay-
and
you
can,
let
me
know
if
you
think
this
is
better
reserved
for
academics
but
I'd
love
to
know
if
we
have
publicly
available
data
on
the
number
of
applicants
of
the
exam
schools,
the
number
of
of
acceptances
and
rejections
and
the
breakdown
by
Tears
in
schools
and
the
demographic
data
through
the
chair.
If
we
could
get
that
information,
that
would
be
helpful.
F
Think,
of
course,
baa.
There
are
other
really
like
shining
examples,
but
are
there
improvements
that
are
happening
that
we're
not
seeing
that
aren't
being
discussed
where
we
can?
You
know
talk
to
our
parents,
our
in
our
constituents,
and
have
confidence
in
what
we're
trying
to
do
on
the
high
school
level
as
well.
I
We'll
just
quickly
back
to
the
to
the
information
around
the
admissions
we
do
have
a
committee,
the
school
committee
meeting
coming
up
on
Wednesday
and
that
will
be
part
of
the
presentation,
still
make
sure
you
have
that
information
and
with
regard
to
the
high
school
work,
that's
again
in
the
area
that
we'll
have
to
talk
more
broadly
with
the
academic
team
and
and
that
cross-function
work.
When
we
get
to
that
game.
F
I
We'd
have
to
get
you
the
latest,
but
I
know
we've
been
hovering
between
like
90
and
93
depending
on
the
day,
but
we
can
give
you
the
specific
breakdown.
We
do
have
a
memo
that
we
share,
but
before
County
for
missing
GPS
data,
you
know
we're
at
about
a
91
total
for
the
year
and
93
since
the
start
of
December.
F
And
I'm
sure
there
are
dips
and
lows:
there
are
moments
we
know,
particularly
around
vacation
after
school
breaks,
where
we're
going
to
be
experiencing
a
lot
of
call
outs
like
whatever
you
do
like,
because
we
have
the
data,
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
data
team
actually
for
BPS
on
this
is
is
quite
Stellar,
like
they
have
the
data
and
the
information.
What
are
we
doing
with
that
data
to
like?
I
Yeah
this
yeah,
this
gets
back
constant
to
the
information
we
talked
about,
where
we've
added
significantly
more
drivers.
So
our
goal
is
to
hire
721
drivers
and
that
will
help
us
create
a
standby
pool
that
that's
enough
to
help
cover
different
areas.
So,
right
now
out
of
the
721
drivers,
we're
looking
for
we've
hired
about
what
we've
hired
714
and
we
have
another
40
or
so
in
the
pipeline,
to
get
cleared
as
well.
F
And
you
know
it's
like
it
breaks
my
heart
and
I
know
it
breaks
the
heart
of
a
lot
of
city
councilors
and
it
actually
makes
us
really
upset
when
we
get
calls
from
parents
who,
like
can't,
send
their
kids
to
school,
because
a
bus
isn't
available
and
I
know.
This
is
not
the
ideal
situation,
but
do
we
have
Alternatives?
Is
there
like
a
program
or,
like
you
know,
we're
able
to
pay
or
some
sort
of
voucher
for
a
cab
pickup?
What
are
the
Alternatives
that
it's
not
just
solely
on
the
backs
of
our
parents.
I
I
Families
of
students
with
this
with
a
specialized
Transportation,
their
IEP,
can
also
get
reimbursement
for
those
kind
of
cases
and
we're
in
the
process
now
of
having
some
ongoing
conversations
and
negotiations
with
Lyft
to
provide
that
as
a
resource
as
well.
So
that's
not
finalized
yet,
but
that
is
something
that
we're
actually
working
on
with
Lyft.
F
Okay,
I'm
encouraged
to
hear
that
I.
Think
one
of
my
colleagues
asked
this
question,
but
I
didn't
hear
the
num
hear
the
date
when
we'd
get
the
information.
Last
year,
when
we
were
having
budget
hearings,
we
were
supposed
to
get
a
facilities
assessment
for
each
and
every
school
as
a
Baseline
and
then
compared
to
what
we
believe
each
school
should
have.
Do
we
have
that
data?
Do
we
have
that
information
yet.
I
Well,
what
we
have
right
now
is
our
publicly
available
dashboard
that
speaks
to
different
conditions
of
each
of
our
schools
and
I.
Believe
that's
what
we
referenced
in
the
previous
hearings,
so
we
can
make
sure
you
have
access
to
that
dashboard
which
is
like
live
and
available
for
the
public,
but
the
facilities
condition
assessment
won't
be
available
until
August.
I
F
I
Not
quite
we
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
done
to
prepare
for
the
future
year
budgets
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
give
everyone
an
update,
that
that
was
happening
at
the
time
because
we
launched
it
at
that
time
when
we
last
had
the
hearing.
So
right
now
in
the
process
of
finalizing
that
work,
and
then
that
information
will
be
available
to
help
us
put
in
for
products
going
forward
and
help
inform
the
broader
facilities
plan.
I
Until
we
see
the
results
of
the
FCA,
it's
hard
to
predict
what
they'll
say
until
we
actually
get
the
report,
but
I
know
based
on
our
internal
review,
that
we
did
that
led
to
the
dashboard.
Our
buildings
need
some
Investments
we've
We've
we've
noted
that
we've
seen
in
the
different
areas
and
different
categories
in
our
dashboard
and
we're
working
to
address
the
media
problems
where
we
need
to
and
where
we've
made
some
successes,
we
have
we're
happy
celebrating
I
mean
we've
added
outdoor
spaces
at
different
schools.
I
We've
added
a
lot
of
science
labs.
We've
got
a
lot
of
other
Investments
that
are
needed,
like
such
of
the
air
quality
work
that
we've
done.
We've
been
nationally
recognized
for
that
work
in
that
space
with
air
quality.
I'd
love
to
just
publicly
thank
our
facilities
team
on
that
as
well.
So
we're
we're.
We
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
and
we're
happy
to
finally
have
the
tools
and
tracking
mechanisms
to
help
us
show
the
work.
I
We
also
have
our
asset
Essentials
work
order
system
that
we've
implemented
last
year
that
we
have
electronic
way
of
making
sure
people
are
entering
information.
It's
tracked,
it's
logged
appropriately
and
proper
inappropriate
responses
are
followed
up
on.
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
technological
advancements
over
the
last
couple
years
and
we're
happy
to
push
that
work
forward.
F
Thank
you,
I
I'm.
You
know
along
that
thread.
I
am
concerned
because
of
the
report
that
we
saw
last
week
about
how
the
state
is
under
funding
and
under
investing
in
New,
in
construction
for
schools
in
black
and
brown
neighborhoods,
and
black
and
brown
cities
like
ours,
Boston
city
of
Boston,
which
is
depressing
information.
How
are
we
counteracting
that?
What
are
we
doing
to
make
sure
I
say
this?
I
I
Think
on
our
end
is
making
sure
that
we're
organized
with
the
correct
information
to
submit
for
both
alterations
and
repair
projects
that
they
have
going
on
at
msba,
as
well
as
core
projects,
so
I
think
we've
organized
ourselves
essentially
in
a
way
that
gives
us
better
capacity
to
do
some
of
that
work
in
alignment
and
we're
in
a
better
position
to
submit
more
applications
for
those
opportunities.
So
we'll
continue
to
do
our
part
by
providing
the
application
submitting
the
information
and
I
know.
I
We
have
the
city's
commitment
to
help
us
support
with
some
of
the
match
dollars.
That
was
highlighted
in
the
article
where
some
districts
and
towns
are
aren't
able
to
actually
fund
some
of
the
requests
that
go
in,
but
I
think
Boston's,
uniquely
positioned,
based
on
the
Mega's
commitment
to
the
two
billion
dollars
and
green
New
Deals,
and
that
will
help
us
over
some
of
the
mspa
dollars
as
well.
So
we're
excited
about
being
staff
structure
structurally
in
a
way
that
we
can
take
more
advantage
of
those
that
are
meant
to
be
opportunities.
F
That's
great
to
hear
I
also
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
it
in
a
way
of
course,
and
it
sounds
like
you
are.
That
is
really
centering
Equity,
because
sometimes
there's
a
lot
of
voices
and
a
lot
of
are
the
ones
who
are
able
to
to
organize
and
get
what
they
need
into
in
a
lot
of
our
schools
and
communities
where
they
maybe
don't
have
a
strong
parent
Council,
because
the
parents
are
working
around
the
clock
or
don't
have
that
that
there's
still
attention
being
paid
in
service
to
those
schools
as
well.
I
Yeah
we'll
continue
to
do
that
and
we'll
continue
to
be
the
champion
and
voice
for
those
schools
and
school
communities
here
at
Central,
so
central
office.
We
we
are
going
to
be
taking
more
of
an
active
role
in
the
engagement,
as
you
know,
superintendent,
elevated,
that
family
community
engagement
to
a
deputy
role
in
physician
and
my
colleague,
Dr
Tavares,
has
been
great
at
making
sure
we're
understanding
the
needs
of
schools
and
helping
to
lift
up
the
voices
of
the
community
with
regard
to
these
type
of
matters
as
well.
F
Thank
you,
I'm
I
have
one
last
question
regarding
like
food
and
nutrition
during
the
pandemic,
many
of
the
fresh
food
programs
out
of
school
at
school
cafeteria
shut
down
for
pre-packaged
Foods,
is
a
fresh
food
program
back
at
the
level
of
fresh
food
of
fresh
local
food.
It
was
at
before
the
pandemic,
once
I
want
to
also
shout
out
to
the
school
that
I
visited
on
Friday.
F
That
has
a
great
homemade
Muffin
breakfast
program
that
I
think
is
really
fantastic,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
schools
are
getting
back
to
a
place
where
we're
able
to
provide
fresh
options
and
I
know
that
we're
working
with
outdoor
Gardens
and
supporting
that
program
for
our
farming.
Other
schools,
but
wanted
wanted
to
just
get
a
perspective
of
all
of
our
BPS
schools.
Yeah.
I
So
currently,
right
now
we're
trying
to
get
back
to
the
pre-pandemic
levels
of
preparing
and
having
all
of
our
site
staff
to
do
on-site
cooking,
The
Challenge,
currently
now
is
more
around
being
able
to
staff
up
some
of
those
kitchens
where
we
made
investments
in
so
we're
actively
doing
that,
and
we
just
recently
hired
our
new
executive
director
of
nutritional
service.
Annalize
Tanner
we're
happy
to
welcome
her
on
board
and
she
has
a
a
real
Keen
desire
and
passion
around
fresh
food
and
on-site
cooking.
I
So
she's
going
to
help
us
continue
to
push
the
work
forward,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
the
Staffing
levels.
We
need
to
all
about
schools,
so
we'll
be
at
a
position
to
do
outside
cooking
throughout
the
district.
But
we
have
made
increases
I.
Couldn't
tell
you
exactly
how
much
we
have
or
don't
have
online,
but
we
can
get
you
that
information
at
another
time.
F
Just
just
really
about,
like
there's,
been
several
instances
around
data
and
like
it
kind
of
related
to
the
exam
school
question,
but
like
not
paying
our
what
not
paying
vendors
on
time,
not
being
able
to
pay
our
teachers
on
time.
Our
staff
on
time,
which
is
a
really
big
problem
and
I,
think
it's
all
related
to
data
Integrity
and
then
I.
F
Look
at
the
BPS
budget
and
the
increase
and
I
see
you
know
which
in
some
ways,
great
to
sort
of
handle
the
need
or
they're
worried
about
how
Astra
funding
and
the
Astro
clip
is
gonna.
Leave
us
in
a
place
of
not
having
so
like.
How
are
we
handling
our
data
and
how
are
we
handling
the
Integrity
that
we
we
should
have
in
our
data
and
the
staff
necessary
to
support
that
work?.
I
One
I
know
the
office
of
data
accountability
in
office
of
instructional
Information
Technology
are
going
to
receive
two
million
dollars
over
three
years
to
create
a
new
cloud-based,
analytic
data,
warehouse,
Implement
power
bi
for
dashboarding
different
things
that
we
want
so
I
know
we're
making
investments
in
that
area
and
part
of
the
Strategic
implementation.
Strategic
Improvement
plan
that
we're
working
on
with
Desi
caused
a
lot
of
that
work
to
happen,
and
we've
made
some
inroads
with
that
area.
I
With
regard
to
payroll
and
paying
of
vendors,
one
of
the
immediate
action
steps
that
we've
done
now
is
really
it's
part
of
our
strategic
planning
work
in
the
division
of
finance
and
the
office
of
human
capital.
We're
just
learning
just
quite
frankly
that
the
volume
of
work
that
is
needed
currently
does
not
reflect
the
current
Staffing
capacity
in
some
of
these
apartments
in
certain
areas
and
certain
workflows,
it's
just
not
as
efficient
as
they
need
to
be
and
we're
working
with
them
to
figure
out
how
we
build
build
upon
that.
F
H
It
you
have
12
minutes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
BPS
team.
I
came
prep
with
some
exam
School
questions
as
well,
but
since
this
is
just
BPS
operations,
I'll
focus
in
on
that
last
week,
I
gave
a
shout
out,
but
I'll
do
it
again
to
East
Boston's
own
Rashawn
Martin
for
his
efforts
and
teacher
recruitment.
I
have
no
questions
there.
The
slide
was
very
informative
and
I
do
appreciate
the
efforts
to
recruit
a
strong
diversity
of
candidates.
H
My
questioning
will
be
centered
around
Personnel
increases,
Transportation
student
support
and
safety,
and
then
some
specific
questions
in
District
on
facilities
and
in
HVAC,
so
the
first
of
which
being
just
around
Personnel.
So
a
critique
of
BPS
is
that
a
large
portion
of
our
precious
funds
are
spent
primarily
in
central
office,
where
there
is
a
position
for
a
position
and
then
there's
multiple
positions.
That
report
to
it.
So
I
was
pleased
to
be
a
five
percent
decrease
in
in
central
office,
including
a
55
decrease
in
business
managers,
which
was
interesting
and
four
percent.
H
G
I
Essentially
so
over
the
years
I
I
haven't
seen
in
my
experience
at
the
level
of
detail
that
we're
paying
attention
to
the
work
that
needs
to
get
done
versus
the
Staffing
capacity
that
we
have
in
central
office.
I.
Think
what
you're
seeing
is
our
desire
to
make
sure
that
we
can
balance
actual
work,
that
we
want
to
get
done
with
having
the
right
number
and
type
of
people
to
do
the
work
as
well.
So
that's
what
that's
why
you
would
see
that
increase
in
central
office
administration
costs
as
well.
H
I
I
think
it's
a
combination
of
all
the
above
without
knowing
these
specific
nine
percent
that
you're
talking
about
and
what
those
positions
are.
I
can
kind
of
go
through
them
with
you.
Maybe
offline,
but
it'll
be
a
combination
of
central
pieces
people
as
well
as
central
people
that
do
provide
services
to
schools.
I've
been
supported,
described
earlier.
H
I
I
So
it's
a
combination
of
adding
for
more
bus
monitors
that
we
obviously
desperately
need
and
as
well
as
implementing
that
new
collective
bargaining
agreement
that
changed
their
rate
of
pay
to
attract
more
on
bus
monitors
to
to
to
work
with
our
district,
so
defective
bargaining
college
for
an
increase
of
about
19
dollars
an
hour
from
from
15
an
hour
for
example.
So
we
made
a
significant
jump
in
pay
for
for
that,
a
group
of
people.
I
H
And
I
do
I,
just
want
to
say
19
an
hour
is,
is
very
low
for
folks
who
live
in
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I
know
that
that
typically
happens
through
collective
bargaining.
But
a
lot
of
our
monitors
are
parents
and
have
different
different
jobs.
So
19
to
me
is
still
not
good
enough,
but
I
know
it
has
to
happen
through
collective
bargaining.
That's
just
a
comment.
You
don't
need
to
say
anything
on
that.
I
So
it's
been
part
of
our
summer
planning
going
on
we've
taken
into
consideration,
but
like
everything
else,
until
we
get
going
into
the
work,
we'll
have
to
continue
to
make
adjustments
as
we
go
forward
and
the
students
with
disabilities
that
are
assigned
to
the
ESI
programs,
we
tried
our
best
to
make
sure
that
we
assign
them
to
schools
that
were
closer
to
their
houses.
So
it
would
help
minimize
the
transportation
needs
as
well.
I
H
Thank
you,
question
I
get
well
I
I'm,
sorry,
I
have
two
more
so
I'll
make
it
quick.
I
am
pleased
to
see
that
there
are
new
new
light
items
or
at
least
there's
new
support
for
student
safety,
including
supervisors,
attendance
and
expansion
of
bullying,
prevention
and
restorative
practices.
I
know
that
was
something
that
we
as
a
council
have
been
calling
for,
and
it's
a
city-wide
push.
I
So
each
region
will
have
some
folks
dedicated
to
working
on
that
with
the
school-based
teams.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
answers
your
question,
but
it
will
be
District
wide
by
region
and
it'll,
be
a
combination
of
central
office
folks,
working
with
these
RJ
specialists
with
the
school-based
teams
as
well
and
social
workers
that
we
have
added
and
the
student
support
teams
and
different
school-based
administrators
and
teachers.
So
we're
excited
about
the
work
so
it'll
be
happening
District
wide.
But
if
you
want
more
specifics
around
we're
happy
to
provide
that
team.
H
Thank
you
if
I
could
request
that
through
the
chair,
but
I
do
understand
it's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
a
central
folks
in
the
RJ
team,
with
school-based
teams
as
well,
and
then
my
last
question
is
focused
on
the
HVAC
Investments
about
you
know:
East
Boston.
We
bear
the
brunt
of
higher
CO2
admissions
because
of
the
airport
under
flight
paths
and
all
of
that
and
Transit
networks,
and
this
also
includes
Charlestown
as
well
too.
With
93..
Has
there
been
special
consideration
to
expedite
work
around
or
in
schools
around
these
these
Transit
corridors?
I
You
know
that
we
based
on
the
facility
condition
assessment
as
well,
so
we'll
definitely
be
looking
at
it
through
opportunity
index
as
well
to
how
we
prioritize
different
projects.
So
those
are
the
way
we
prioritize
the
products
through
the
racial
racial
Equity
planning
tool,
as
well
as
the
opportunity
and
opportunity
index
as
well.
H
Thank
you,
I
would
just
encourage
with
the
environmental
justice
lens
and
all
of
this,
those
kids
in
Charlestown
next
to
93
and
then
in
East
Boston,
I'm
thinking
the
pjk.
They
are
underneath
the
flight
path,
and
so,
if,
if
we're
thinking
about
the
air
that
we
breathe
and
high
quality,
air
I
would
think
that
that
should
be
Central
and
number
one.
So
just
putting
that
out
there,
and
thank
you
for
your
for
your
answers.
Everybody
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank.
I
E
A
The
other
thing
that
we've
been
doing
is
that
we
are,
you
know,
we're
creating
we're
creating
nine
Equity
specialists
in
the
district,
which
will
be
addressed
in
culture-based
issues
for
educators
of
color,
as
well
as
for
employees
within
the
central
office
as
well.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
we've
had
in
place
and
that
we're
continuing
to
put
in
place
to
like
create
a
space
that
people
may
feel
people
will
feel
safe
and
people
will
feel
like.
E
So
I'm
curious
when
you
start
acclimating
into
the,
why
you
know
the
wider
community
and
having
to
navigate
and
work
with
some
folks
who
you
know,
there's
a
culture
shift
here
right
and
I'm
going
to
be
a
100
honest
is
that
we
are
talking
about
meeting
this
moment,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
in
BPS
that
don't
really
see
our
kids
or
our
families
as
assets
right,
and
this
is
racial.
This
is
the
historical
narrative
about
you,
know,
communities
of
color
and
and
so
I'm
just
curious.
A
You
know
having
these
Affinity
groups
is
a
place
that
employees
can
feel
like
they
can
talk
about.
Some
of
these
issues-
some
of
these
and
and
that's
something
we
you
know
over
years
we
created
and
we're
not
singers,
not
challenges
the
the
district
is
still.
It
is
a
ongoing
work.
It's
in
it's
an
ongoing
effort,
and
you
know
yeah.
A
E
That's
okay:
I
need
to
I
need
to
reel
this
in
a
little
bit.
I
do
appreciate
all
of
the
efforts
that
are
being
made
Nate
and
Sam,
and
your
team
what
I
like
to
see
in
the
next
presentation
for
next
year.
Hopefully,
if
I
come
back
to
continue
to
terrorize,
you
I
would
love
to
see
some
metrics
right
like
here's.
Here's
what
here's!
E
So
I
just
want
to
name
that
in
terms
of
just
what
I'd
like
to
see,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
my
last
round
of
questions
is
around
ventilation.
You
know:
we've
been
hearing
from
a
lot
of
Advocates
still
Sam
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
air
and
just
access
to
spaces
that
are
clean
and
the
air
is
pure
and
all
that
good
stuff.
E
Rivera's
leadership
has
been
doing
alongside
some
of
our
schools
around
access
to
water,
better
signage
for
water
warnings
about
don't
drink
this
water
I
mean
the
fact
that
we
still
have
to
even
do
that
and
that
we're
driving
young
people
to
go
to
the
water
bubblers
and
sometimes
the
water
bubbler
filters
are
dirty.
I've
heard
a
lot
about
the
the
conditions
of
these
filters,
so
I'm
just
curious.
What
are
we
doing
to
get
a
handle
on
that?
E
I
Do
additional
cleaning,
if
necessary,
so
I
think
that
we
are
going
to
continue
to
work
on
our
ventilation.
Inequality
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
just
recently
received
the
green
ribbon
School
award.
That's
we've
been
nationally
recognized
for
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
our
indoor
air
quality.
Our
air
quality
sensors
have
a
monitoring
in
the
different
Investments
that
we
made
with
the
purifiers
we're
making
sure
the
windows
are
operable,
with
increase
the
ventilation
with
the
fans
that
we
have
in
place.
I
You
know
we're
really
confident
that
the
air
quality
in
our
buildings
are
good,
regardless,
if
they're,
an
HVAC
building
or
not
so
again,
happy
to
be
the
recipient
of
that
acknowledgment
on
nationally
and
proud
of
the
team
for
getting
us
into
the
position
to
be
acknowledged
in
that
way.
So
we're
happy
to
push
the
work
forward
and
happy
to
continue
to
work
with
any
schools
and
the
schools
or
communities
have
issues
around
the
equality
of
their
schools.
B
E
Okay.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you!
So
much
so,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
now
about
I'm
curious
in
terms
of
the
Shah
and
Taylor
how
things
are
going.
If
you
give
me
some
updates
there
and
then
the
Sumner
in
Philbrook
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
about
kind
of
what
we're
doing
in
those
two
spaces
in
particular,.
I
Yeah,
my
understanding
is
that
each
of
the
different
groups
of
school
grouping
of
schools
has
their
design
teams
meeting
and
working
with
Us
in
as
part
of
that
design,
team,
central
office
department
and
school-based
staff
teams
to
really
talk
through
the
implementation
of
the
mergers.
At
this
point.
So
that
those
conversations
are
ongoing
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
results
of
the
planning
and
moving
the
schools
into
the
direction
of
the
merges
for
the
the
not
the
school
year.
But
the
year
after.
I
At
this
point,
we
haven't
talked
about
saving
just
yet
I.
Think
the
wherever
what
I
understand
we
are
based
on.
My
conversations
with
the
team
is
that
the
design
teams
are
mapping
out
what
they're
going
to
be
needing
as
far
as
Staffing
programming,
amenities,
et
cetera,
so
until
they
do
that,
it's
unclear
at
this
point
what
if
any
savings
will
be
available.
So
the
team
has
the
first
is
that's
kind
of
what
the
schools
will
look
like
for
us
and
what's
needed.
E
Thank
you
and
you
know
BPS
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
HVAC
in
ventilation.
You
know:
can
you
just
summarize
and
map
out
your
thinking
on
ventilation
upgrades
across
the
district,
specifically
of
how
much
of
the
60
million
do
you
anticipate
spending
in
fy24
which
schools
will
be
receiving
upgrades?
How
are
you
making
these
decisions
about
upgrades
Which
models?
Are
you
considering
who's
deciding
on
that
kind
of
like
if
you
miss,
if
you
already
went
through
that
and
I
missed
it?
E
I
Yeah
I
think
the
short
answer
is
we
can
get
you
to
the
specific
list
of
schools,
but
we've
installed
the
air
conditioners
and
the
specific
list
of
schools
that
have
the
HV
system,
HVAC
systems
and
what
schools,
the
electrical
Grid
or
their
power
doesn't
support
them.
Yet
then,
after
the
facilities
condition
assessment
is
complete,
there
will
be
a
in
a
better
position
to
talk
about
what
additional
Investments
that
will
make
after
that
right.
E
Thank
you
and
when
services
are
not
rendered,
for
example,
speech
therapy
due
to
Staffing
or
other
issues.
How
does
that
impact
the
budget?
And
where
do
those
funds
go?
Because
what
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
families
is
that
you
know
there
were
some
services
that
were
supposed
to
be
rendered
through
the
IEP,
whether
it's
speech
or
you
know
other
other
specialized
needs
that
have
not
been
met.
So
I'm
just
curious.
G
G
We
hold
a
reserve
to
be
able
to
cover
what
we
call
compensatory
services,
so
in
the
event
that
a
family
misses
our
student
misses
their
services.
The
IEP
team
needs
to
determine
what
supports
the
student
needs
to
be
able
to
make
up
or
to
stay
on
track
for
their
academic
needs,
and
then,
if
the
IEP
requires
additional
Services,
either
summer
programs
or
additional
Services
before
and
after
school,
we
would
provide
that
centrally
for
the
student
to
make
sure
that
they
receive
those
compensatory
Services.
G
E
You
know
I
know
some
of
this
stuff
is,
is
through
collective
bargaining
and
that
there's
very
little
that
we
can
do
on
the
council.
But
I
did
hear
from
a
lot
of
bus
monitors
who
are
being
overworked
and
underpaid,
and
also
some
people
in
the
cafeteria
divisions
like
they're,
not
getting
enough
hours.
So
it
doesn't
make
sense.
I
Yeah
I
mean
I
think
the
increase
that
we
negotiated
with
the
bus
monitors
was
just
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
That
was
long
overdue,
with
adjusting
on
the
salaries
for
the
bus.
Monitors
am
I
happy
to
have
worked
with
the
bus,
monitor
Union
to
to
get
us
at
that
point,
and
and
we're
thankful
that
our
city,
colleagues
and
and
other
essentially
acknowledge
the
fact
that
we
do.
We
do
need
to
do
more
as
far
as
compensation
for
that
group
and
it's
it's
proven
to
yield
some
benefits.
I
As
we've
increased
that
opportunity
for
monitors.
We
also
work
with
the
city's
residency
commission.
We
were
able
to
get
residency
waivers
as
well
for
the
FNS
staff
as
well.
The
Food
Service
staff,
as
well
as
the
bus
monitors
so
right
now
we're
able
to
recruit
Beyond
just
people,
folks
that
live
in
the
city-
and
that
also
is,
as
is
another
two
that
we're
hoping
that
will
get
us
more
on
bus
monitors
and
more
food
service
workers,
Food
Service
workers.
I
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
like
advertise
for
that
in
the
recruitment
spaces
that
we've
heard
about
earlier
today
in
the
new
Collective
bargain
agreement,
we're
transitioning
to
an
hourly
payroll
system,
which
we
believe
will
facilitate
improve
operational
changes
on
in
more
full
work
packages
for
bus
monitors
as
well.
So
we're
trying
a
bunch
of
things
to
ought
to
say
that
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
assess
and
make
adjustments
as
we
need
to.
E
B
C
I
would
just
one
question:
I
had
was,
and
probably
my
constituents
would
be
interested
in
just
in
progress
and
where
we're
at
with
plans
for
a
new
Elementary
School
in
Austin
Brighton
to
replace
the
Jackson
man.
I,
know:
we've
we're
in
a
study
process,
but
just
a
status
update
on
that
conversation
would
be
helpful.
I
Sure
I
know
that's
part
of
the
that
will
be
taking
into
consideration
as
we
go
forward
with
that
Jackson
Man
Site
in
general.
So
as
we
get
the
facilities
condition
assessment
and
we
get
the
design
studies,
study
back
more
communication
will
communication
and
timelines
and
updates
and
progress
will
be
made
after
that.
Full
assessment
is
complete,
so
it's
still
in
the
little
holding
pattern
in
the
sense
that
we
know
we
have
to
do
some
upgrades
to
that
building
in
space.
But
the
question
is:
what
exactly
do
we
do?
I
Depending
on
what
the
FCA
brings
us
back
and
depending
on
the
design
study
that
we
want
to
do
and
depending
on
what
programs
you
put
in
the
space,
is
going
to
drive
a
lot
of
that,
so
I
don't
have
an
answer
there
for
that.
Until
we
look
at
the
full
footprint
of
the
district
and
understand
the
needs
that
we
have
for
that
space
in
in
that
neighborhood.
C
I
think
the
other
thing
to
remember,
Sam
and
I've
met
said
this
before
is
you
know
just
thinking
else
in
Brighton
that
the
full
population
of
Alton
Brighton
is
much
in
the
excess
of
what
the
census
says
we
have.
We
had
an
undercount
of
about
six
thousand
so
right
now
our
population
is
eighty
thousand
and
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
housing
coming
online
and
we've
been
trying
very
hard
to
make
that
family
friendly
housing
so
and
affordable
for
a
family.
C
C
So
we're
in
a
competitive
market
for
students
for
our
seats,
so
anything
we
can
do
to
boost
that
and
make
it
more
attractive
for
families
to
stay
in
our
city
and
send
their
kids
to
our
schools
would
be
really
helpful
and
that's
it.
That's
my
peace
for
the
morning
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all
this
morning,
I've
talked
your
team
this
morning.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
I.
Look
forward
to
the
conversation
this
afternoon.
B
B
My
colleagues
have
similar
questions,
so
I
will
wait
till
this
afternoon,
so
we
can
continue
our
conversation.
Thank
you
very
much.
Hopefully
we
will
start
2
p.m.
Sharp.
Looking
forward
to
that
conversation,
this
hearing,
thank
you,
Mr
depina,
Mr,
Cooter,
Ms,
Canty
and
we'll
see
each
other
soon.
This
hearing
is
adjourned.
