Description
Earlier this month, we revealed five conceptual design options for our BHS/BTC 2025 building project. On April 27, the Burlington Board of School Commissioners will vote to move forward with one of these options. Visit our website to see all of the options and learn how you can provide feedback on our path forward! https://www.bsdvt.org/2022/04/10/bsd-releases-conceptual-design-options-for-bhs-btc-2025/
A
Welcome
everybody,
it's
great
to
see
you
all
here,
I'm
tom
flanagan,
I'm
the
superintendent.
I
really
appreciate
you
all
being
here
tonight,
both
in
person
and
on
our
virtual,
our
on
zoom.
Thank
you.
We
are
at
a
really
critical
point
in
in
this
process
of
of
the
burlington
high
school
bhs
btc
we're
calling
it
bhs
btc
2025,
because
we
are
aiming
to
build
a
new
high
school
by
2025.,
and
so
we,
as
you
know,
have
have
a
number
of
different
conceptual
design
options
that
are
out.
A
So
these
are.
These
are
again
high
level,
aiming
toward
an
april
27th
school
board
meeting
where
the
school
board
will.
After
hearing
your
feedback
tonight,
we're
going
to
put
a
survey
out
after
this
and
ask
you
to
fill
out
the
survey
to
give
us
your
feedback,
we'll
be
asking
the
school
board
to
make
a
decision
on
april
27th
about
the
design
that
they
think
is.
Is
the
most
appropriate
for
the
new
high
school?
A
So,
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
tonight,
it'll
look
a
little
bit
like
the
school
board
meeting
we're
going
to
go
through
the
designs,
we'll
be
here
for
a
question
and
answer
and
then
we'll
have
some
time
to
break
out
out
into
smaller
groups
and
and
talk
through
some
of
those
designs
in
more
detail
and
with
that
I'll.
Kick
it
over
to
russ.
B
Great,
thank
you
everybody.
So,
as
superintendent
flanagan
mentioned
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
fill
out
a
survey.
Actually,
that
survey
is
sitting
in
front
of
many.
Many
of
you
there's
a
tiny
little
three-quarter
pager
there
and
you
can
just
scan
that
with
your
iphone
or
you
can
go
to
www.bsdvt.org.
B
To
complete
that
survey
online
and
if
you
feel
like
you,
want
to
go
home
and
chew
on
it,
that's
fine
too,
but
any
feedback
that
you
can
give
in
this
process.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
from
the
public
and
we're
hearing
from
you,
so
my
name
is
russ
ellick,
I'm
the
communication
specialist
at
burlington
school
district
and
I'm
just
really
happy
to
see
so
many
people.
B
It
feels
like
we're
finally
starting
to
be
able
to
get
out
and
see
people
and
get
back
to
normal
a
little
bit,
and
I
really
am
grateful
for
you
all
showing
up
here
today
so
before
we
jump
into
this
presentation,
just
a
few
housekeeping
items
for
you.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
we're
going
to
give
you
in
about
25
minutes
time,
and
so
there
are
materials
in
the
back
of
the
room
that
if
you
haven't
picked
them
up
yet
I'd
encourage
you
to
grab
them.
B
B
So
I
talked
about
the
survey.
That's
in
front
of
you
as
you're,
looking
for
the
materials
in
the
back
you're,
going
to
see
one
that
is
color
coded
and
I'm
calling
it
the
stoplight
document,
even
though
the
architects
are
not
telling
me
to
call
it
that,
but
basically
you'll
see
that
it's
color
coded
red,
green
and
yellow
and
carl
franceschi,
one
of
our
architects
will
talk
about
that
a
little
bit.
I
think
that's
really
helpful
to
think
about
what
some
of
the
pros
and
cons
or
the
challenges
of
opportunities
of
these
spaces
are.
B
So
that
could
be
helpful
as
you're
thinking
through
this
we're,
also
not
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
tonight.
Presenting
and
discussing
the
specific
floor
plans.
You've
probably
seen
them
on
the
boards
in
the
hallway
right
there
we
will.
If
you
have
studied
these
plans,
we
will
take
questions
about
them
and
if
you
do
have
questions
about
them,
when
we
get
to
that
q
a
portion,
we
can
answer
them.
But,
for
the
sake
of
time,
we're
going
to
skip
over
the
really
detailed
sort
of
initial
floor
plans
this
evening
as
well.
B
Once
we
go
through
the
presentation
like
I
said,
we
will
have
time
for
questions
and
answers.
We're
joined
here
tonight
by
the
superintendent
carl
franceski
of
dra
is
on
the
screen.
Thanks
for
being
here,
carl,
we
have
our
architect
team
here
from
freeman
french
freeman.
So
thank
you.
Jesse
is
up
here
and
you
have
a
couple
of
your
teammates
in
the
crowd
as
well
right
and
representatives
from
colin
lindberg's
office,
as
well
as
director
spalding
and
director
lavery.
B
We
might
we're
trying
to
have
this
engaging
piece
at
the
end,
so
we
might
not
have
an
opportunity
to
answer
every
single
question
tonight.
My
ask
of
you
is:
if
we
don't
get
your
question
put
it
in
the
survey
and
make
sure
that
you
leave
us
your
contact
information.
Our
goal
is
to
answer
questions
for
people
and
get
all
the
information
out
there
that
we
can
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
good
here
all
right.
B
So
as
we
jump
into
the
presentation
there's
a
few
things
that
I
want
to
go
over
so
that
you're
all
aware
of,
because
we're
not
going
to
talk
about
it
every
single
time
we
get
to
every
design,
and
that
is
that
all
of
these
designs
share
a
number
of
the
same
features
so
as
you're
thinking
about
how
big
are
the
buildings
that
we're
presenting
or
what
are
some
of
those
features.
These
are
things
that
you're
going
to
want
to
keep
in
mind.
B
B
All
of
these
presentation
all
of
these
designs,
we
believe,
offer
an
excellent
opportunity
for
sustainable
design.
They
all
have
good
solar
orientation
and
good
indoor
outdoor
relationships,
which
is
something
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
our
students
that
we
they
want.
A
building
that
is
connected
to
their
outdoors
all
show
a
potential
location
for
future
district
offices.
But
I
want
to
be
clear
that
this
is
not
part
of
the
program
that
we're
bringing
to
you
today
when
we
first
started
working
with
our
architects,
we
we
gave
them
a
sort
of
a
challenge
of.
B
We
know
that
we've
needed
a
new
central
office
space
for
a
really
long
time.
What
would
it
look
like
in
the
new
building
and
the
architects
came
back
to
us
and
said
that
does
not
work
at
all,
so
that
is
not
part
of
what
you're
hearing
that
will
not
be
part
of
the
bond
request,
but
we
just
wanted
to
be
transparent
about
that
process.
To
this
point,
the
existing
bike
parking
at
the
old
site
is
for
40
bikes.
B
All
of
these
designs
have
space
for
more
than
240
bikes
and
the
overall
existing
parking
at
the
at
the
previous
space
has
350
parking
spots,
traditional
parking
spots.
All
of
these
have
375
parking
spots,
all
right,
and
so
finally,
in
that
this
might
sound
silly
to
some
of
you,
but
a
lot
of
the
initial
and
frequent
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
our
steering
team
from
our
students
in
the
city
in
lake
semester
from
staff.
Even
is
that
there
there
isn't
a
preference
for
designs
that
incorporate
the
outdoors
and,
more
specifically
usable
courtyards.
B
B
We
are
really
trying
to
tie
this
thing
into
indoor
outdoor
use
and
usable
courtyards.
Okay,
so
with
that
carl
francesca
and
I
are
going
to
lay
out
the
options
for
you
tonight
and
we'll
do
a
q
a
at
the
end
and
then
we'll
do
a
breakout
room
or
breakout
sessions
throughout
here
for
those
that
want
to
stick
around
and
give
some
more
feedback
to
our
architect.
Teams,
sound
good,
all
right,
carl,
let's
jump
in.
D
C
As
many
of
you
know,
the
old
dhs
tech
center
was
on
institute
road
and
we
were
given
as
designers
an
identifiable
sort
of
buildable
zone
for
the
new
high
school
tech
center,
see
it's
basically
where
the
parking
lot
is
and
and
the
green
space
adjacent
to
the
north
ave
and
it
was
sort
of
free
and
clear
of
the
existing
building.
Even
though
the
building
has
been
vacated,
except
for
what's
known
as
a
building.
That's
the
cafeteria,
the
auditorium
and
the
gymnasium.
D
B
You're
expecting
me
to
interrupt
you
in
a
little
bit.
We
did
all
of
these
introductions
and
I'm
I'm
remiss
that
I
am
so
sorry.
I
forgot
we
also
have
here
tonight.
Principal
mcbride
from
the
high
school
has
been
really
really
involved,
she's
in
the
back
of
the
room
and
director
jason
gingold,
I
believe,
is
also
here
who
has
been
really
involved.
B
Thank
you
both
for
being
here,
I
know
principal
mcbride
may
have
to
leave
a
little
bit
early,
we're
all
familiar
with
having
sick
kids,
so
I
hope
everything's
fine
with
you,
but
really
grateful
to
both
of
you,
for
this
has
been
a
lot.
It's
been
a
lot
a
year
and
a
half
of
you
sort
of
pitching
in
and
finding
new
building
spaces
and
helping
us
move
forward.
So
thank
you
both
for
being
here
and
for
being
a
part
of
this
process.
C
You
now
this
slide
here
is
just
a
recap
of
what
russ
mentioned,
that
that,
for
your
information,
all
of
the
options
you're
about
to
see
have
certain
characteristics
in
common.
They
all
meet
the
program
with
the
same
educational
components,
they're
all
relatively
the
the
same
size
and
300
000
square
feet,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
the
things
we
really
want
to
focus
on
in
trying
to
differentiate
these
are
are
looking
at
those
inherent
characteristics
that
might
differ
in
each
of
the
options
and
those
include
cost.
C
C
So
here
are
the
the
five
options:
there's
really
four
options
with
one
variation:
we've
labeled
them
a
b
c
and
d
and
c
one
is
a
variation
of
option.
C,
you
can
see
the
cost
there.
As
I
mentioned,
these
are
project
costs
and
they
do
vary
from
about
181
million
dollars
up
to
196
million
dollars,
we'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
in
a
moment
and
we'll
get
into
them
in
detail.
But
we
wanted
to
sort
of
give
you
the
overview
of
the
other
five
different
options
at
first,
all
right.
B
All
right,
so,
let's
start
with
option
a
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
following
along
on
zoom,
we're
aware
that
it's
difficult
to
hear
carl,
so
we're
working
with
retn
to
get
the
mic.
The
speakers
turned
up
for
you
so
bear
with
us,
and
we
will
try
to
make
sure
that
you
get
some
better
volume,
carl.
If
you
could
try
to
speak
up
a
little
bit.
That
might
help
as
well
but
sorry
to
take
away
like
the
big
reveal
to
do
housekeeping
items.
B
But
this
is
option
a
which
you
can
see
on
the
screen
so
option
a
is
going
to
allow
for
continued
use
of
building
a
through
the
first
two
years
of
construction.
It
will
place
btc
to
the
north
side
of
the
building
and
on
this
you'll
see
a
parking
garage.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
this
is
actually
an
optional
feature.
It
would
provide
drop
off
at
the
main
level
and
parking
in
close
proximity
to
the
building.
B
C
It
also
sets
back
from
institut
road
enough
to
get
a
driveway
through
with
some
visitor
parking
and
an
entrance
at
this
side
of
the
building
to
handle
both
those
people
arriving
from
public
transit
from
the
student
parking
area
on
the
south
side
of
institute
road
as
well
and
and
then
as
russ
mentioned,
there
is
a
alternate
drop-off
where
buses
can
be
separated
from
cars
to
enter
into
the
boston
tech
center
and
the
the
new
high
school.
The
tech
center
also
has
that
requirement
of
service
access.
C
It
has
these
shops
and
high
bay
spaces
that
have
overhead
doors
that
require
truck
access,
so
you'll
see
that
in
each
option
as
well,
here's
the
main
level
floor
plan
of
this
option,
a
as
was
mentioned.
All
of
these
concepts
in
various
ways
take
advantage
of
the
student
commons
as
an
organizing
element.
It's
not
just
the
cafeteria.
C
It's
also
an
area
where
the
students
can
gather
before
school
after
school.
It
serves
as
kind
of
the
lobby
for
the
gym
and
and
the
auditorium
as
well,
and
many
of
these
options,
and
it's
always
adjacent
to
the
administration
and
a
main
entrance
for
good
access
and
supervision
and
really
becomes
the
heart
of
the
school.
C
C
In
this
case,
there
are
four
levels
of
the
building
as
it
steps
up
the
hill.
Then
tech
center
occupies
the
upper
tree
levels.
Here
you
can
see
in
this
we
have
modeled
the
parking
garage
which
would
infill
the
footprint
of
the
va
building.
Once
it's
removed
all
these
options
too,
I
want
to
point
out
that
the
athletic
fields
remain
undisturbed,
so
the
track
and
football
field
and
baseball
field
remain
in
their
current
configuration
and
location.
B
B
That's
not
option
a,
but
so
this
builds
over
the
current
existing
high
school
location
and
this
option
we
see
btc
is
located
behind
bhs
and
on
the
north
side,
closely
connected
to
bhs
near
the
student
commons
and
again
I
just
want
to
remind
people
that
courtyards
are
inherent
in
all
of
our
designs.
It's
been
important,
so
I
want
to
re-assure
the
community,
as
I
did
the
board
last
week
that
if
we
were
to
pick
this
option,
you're,
not
necessarily
picking
the
small
courtyard
option,
so
rest
assured.
C
C
C
What
that
this
one
would
look
like
option
b
in
three
dimensions:
basically
three-story
buildings
on
the
end
and
a
four-story
building
in
the
center,
with
that
lower
level
entrance
here
to
serve
whether
you
arrive
by
bus
or
by
student
parking
or
get
dropped
off,
and
then
there's
an
upper
level
entrance
coming
into
that
same
student
commons.
In
the
center
of
the
of
the
complex
that's
option.
B
C
You
can
see
in
this
footprint
again
that
the
building
is
sort
of
centrally
located,
but,
as
russ
mentioned
tech
center
now
fronts
on
institute
road
has
a
little
more
visibility
and
a
linear
connection
to
the
proposed
high
school.
The
the
commons
still
acts
as
the
central
entry,
where
they're
coming
from
the
uphill
parking
areas
or
the
lower
drop-off
bus
areas
and
student
parking
arrival
point
again.
C
B
Perfect
and
then
I
want
to
point
out
too,
when
carl
talks
about
space
for
future
expansion
again,
not
something
in
this
project,
but
carl
and
freeman,
french,
freeman
and
columbus
office,
lots
of
experience
working
with
schools
and
one
of
the
things
that
they'll
tell
you
is
it's
smart
to
have
identified
on
your
land,
some
place
that
you
could
easily
build
onto
your
school?
Okay,
something
happens.
You
don't
you're,
not
talking
about
building
an
entirely
new
school.
B
If
you
can
just
add
on
stuff-
and
you
don't
have
to
use
trailers,
you
can
have
a
real
building
that
connects
seamlessly
so
again,
not
part
of
the
project.
But
these
are
things
that
we're
thinking
about
as
we're
going
forward.
So
now
we're
on
option
c
point
one.
So
we
promised
everyone
three
to
four
conceptual
options:
we're
bringing
you
five
c
point
one:
it's
a
variation
of
option
c.
B
But
what
you're
seeing
here
is
that
we've
shift
option
c
east
a
little
bit
and
this
is
going
to
allow
a
more
phased
approach
to
construction.
So
it
allows
for
continued
use
of
a
building
during
the
construction
of
the
new
gym
auditorium
and
kitchen,
and
but,
however,
btc
programs
in
this
scenario
would
have
to
continue
in
their
temporary
locations.
C
The
auditorium,
the
gym,
the
kitchen,
a
building
could
be
demolished
and
and
the
tech
center
would
then
be
constructed
at
that
point
in
time,
adjacent
to
what
would
be
an
occupied
burlington
high
school.
This
does
shift
the
the
building,
even
though
it's
the
identical
footprint
of
auction
c,
it
shifts
it
to
the
east
a
little
bit
off
center
now
and
a
little
bit
less
space
for
future
expansion,
but
it
still
fits
in
in
the
buildable
area
here
and
and
would
be
the
same
floor
plan
and
the
same
massing
as
option
c.
B
All
right,
and
so
for
our
final
option:
option
d
carl,
will
tell
you
that
our
architects,
our
design
team,
wanted
to
come
up
with
something
a
little
bit
more
out
of
the
box.
So
what
we're
showing
here
is
an
option
that
replaces
the
current
institute
road
with
a
new
south
route
that
will
create
a
more
consolidated
campus.
It
aligns
a
new
building
facing
north
avenue,
with
btc
entry
and
bus
entry
to
the
rear.
B
It's
a
compact
l-shaped
footprint,
with
btc
and
bhs
on
separate
wings
of
the
building,
but
sharing
that
central
core
space
and
this
we
would
need
city
support
to
coordinate
the
new
road
and
this
would
most
likely
take
longer
to
build.
We
don't
think
that
we
could
do
this
on
the
2025
timeline.
So
that's
something
for
consideration
for
the
community
as
well,
and
as
russ
mentioned,
we.
C
C
You
know
very
close
and
parallel
to
north
avenue,
more
accessible
to
both
bikes
and
bus
public
transportation,
with
that
frontage
along
there,
and
also
a
sort
of
safer,
more
compact
campus
as
well,
where
the
building
the
athletic
field
and
the
majority
of
the
parking
are
all
now
you
know
within
one
campus
and
students
are
no
longer.
You
know
crossing
the
public
road
to
get
to
those
various
functions.
C
It
does
require,
as
we
say,
a
bit
more
time
as
well
to
for
the
permitting
and
the
construction
of
that
that
new
road,
but
we
have
men
on
a
preliminary
basis
with
the
city
and
they
they
you
know,
are
willing
to
consider
this
and
and
thought
there
were.
No.
You
know
no
deal
breakers
so
to
speak
and
considering
this
in
the
future
too.
C
Here's
what
the
plan
would
look
like
of
that
l-shaped
building.
As
we
said,
the
tech
center
occupies
one
way
the
the
high
school
occupies
the
other
wing
again
organized
around
courtyards
and
in
the
center
are
the
common
core
spaces
of
the
gymnasium,
the
auditorium,
the
student
commons
on
multiple
levels,
where
there's
an
upper
level
on
north
avenue
and
a
lower
level
entrance
from
that
that
bus
drop
gold
institute
road
alignment,
here's
what
it
would
look
like
three
dimensionally.
C
It
is
again
it
does
have
very
good
solar
orientation.
You
can
see
that
the
playing
fields
are
are
left
unchanged.
The
new
road
goes
around
the
perimeter
of
the
site
on
on
city-owned
property
there
and
and
the
old
institute
road
is
sort
of
terminated
in
this
in
this
circle
to
the
lower
level
entrance
there,
it's
basically
a
three-story
building
and
as
the
ground
slopes
to
the
to
the
south.
C
C
This
is
that
chart,
and
I
know
you
can't
read
all
the
text
here,
but
hopefully
the
graphics
somewhat
convey
the
message
too,
where
the
the
five
options
are
right
across
the
top,
and
then
a
host
of
criteria
are
listed
on
down
the
left-hand
column
here,
criteria
that
were
developed
with
the
development
team,
with
the
administration
to
analyze
each
of
these
options,
and
they
include
such
things
as
educational
accommodation.
You
know
how
well
did
each
of
these
plans
as
concepts
accommodate
the
vision
that
the
district
has
for
this
new
school?
C
How
flexible
are
they?
What
potential
for
expansion
project
cost
is?
Is
a
criteria
and
so
on.
So
you
can
see
the
various
criteria
there
and
then
there
are.
There
are
texts
here
talking
about
the
pros
and
cons,
but
I'm
kind
of
summarized
by
the
colors,
and
it
is
like
a
traffic
light
in
the
sense
that
green
is
good
and
red
is,
is
less
advantageous.
C
Yellow
is
kind
of
in
the
middle
here
in
looking
at
these.
So
as
you
look
down
these
columns,
you
can
sort
of
see
where
there's
more
green
or
there's
red
and
and
help
everyone
who's
evaluating
these.
You
know
come
to
some
conclusions,
so
we're
glad
again,
you
have
copies
of
those
that
you
can
refer
to
as
well.
C
C
B
Do
we
have
a
wireless
mic
for
questions
in
the
crowd,
so
jeff's
going
to
get
a
wireless
mic
and
we'll
get
our
first
question,
but
we
have
a
couple
questions
in
the
chat.
So
one
question
is
for
option
d.
Would
construction
costs
of
the
new
road
be
shared
with
the
city
and
I
think
that's
probably
a
nathan
and
marty
question
at
the
start.
E
E
We
didn't
get
a
direct
answer
at
this
time,
but
it
could
certainly
be
something
that
could
be
shared
with
the
city.
What
I
can
say
is
typically,
when
a
development,
when
a
developer
is
building
a
new
road
that
will
be
turned
over
to
the
city
for
a
you
know,
a
building
project
that
that
they're
responsible
for
that
cost
is
usually
absorbed
by
the.
A
And
owner
to
add,
we've
been
working
closely
with
the
city
throughout
this
whole
process.
We
do
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
overall
debt
capacity
and,
and
so
that's
something
that,
as
we
work
to
be
responsible
to
to
the
citizens
of
burlington,
we
want
to
both
balance
getting
having
a
beautiful
high
school
that
is
serves
the
needs
of
our
community.
B
F
D
A
Yeah,
it's
a
so.
The
question
is:
what
would
the
costs
be
of
not
having
a
building?
Now
it's
a
it
would
be
a
significant
operational
lift
for
us,
where
we
that
we
would
have
to
we'd
have
to
figure
out
solutions
to
the
the
food
making.
We
have
a
kitchen
there,
we're
making
food
out
of
that
kitchen,
the
auditorium
space
and
the
gym
space,
so
those
are
spaces
that
we
would
need
to.
We
need
to
find
space
for
those
activities
to
happen.
A
G
My
second
question
is
just
around
remediation
in
terms
of
what
you
know
or
don't
know
about
the
soils
of
you
know
any
kind
of
contaminants
where
the
existing
building
is.
You
know,
I
can't
remember,
I
think,
with
dr
nade.
It
didn't
build
on
this
on
the
current
location
and
the
others
do.
So.
What
do
you
know
or
not
know.
B
A
Defined
we
have,
we
have
looked
at
the
soils,
there's
not
a
problem
with
the
soil
on
the
site
and
contamination
of
the
of
the
soil.
We
don't
believe,
but
the
soils
right
next
to
the
walls
of
the
building,
where
the
pcbs
have
seeped
down,
because
these
pcbs
are
in
the
caulking
material
of
the
windows
they're.
Also
in
the
glue
underneath
the
floor,
tiling
so
they've
seeped
into
the
foundation
of
the
floor,
those
kind
of
seep
down
into
the
soil,
and
so
we've
we've
detailed
sort
of
the
perimeter
around
so
director.
E
D
E
E
A
Got
it
so
we
would
be
happy
to
talk
talk
more
with
you
about
that.
Absolutely.
This
is
why
this
process
is
so
important.
We
genuinely
want
to
get
feedback
we
want
to.
We
want
you
to
hear
from
us.
We
want
to
hear
from
you.
We
need
this
to
be
a
process
that
the
community
feels
like
they've
been
a
part
of,
so
apologies
that
we
haven't
met
already,
but
let's
connect
afterwards.
I
would
love
to
talk
and
and,
like
I
said,
we're
open
to
all
all
feedback.
A
B
E
B
J
I
have
lots
of
questions
which
I
want
to
ask
now,
but
I
guess
my
first
question
is
april
27th
date
for
the
board,
selecting
a
design
casting
concrete
and
I'm
curious,
because
that's
15
days
from
now-
and
I
don't
know
how
you're
expecting
us
to
have
complete
input
or
more
input
about
design
and
criteria,
if
that's
the
case,
because
it
like.
First
of
all,
I
thank
you
for
all
the
design
work
and
I
thank
you
for
this.
This
format.
J
I
think
it's
terrific,
but
it
does
raise
concerns
for
me
relating
to
the
designing
a
school
for
school
purposes
and
designing
a
school.
That's
part
of
a
community
that
has
more
community
orientation
or
perspective
that
I
think,
could
probably
be
more
saleable
to
the
community,
and
I
particularly
concerned
that
I
don't
see
how,
for
instance,
in
terms
of
the
spaces
that
are
dedicated
on
the
plans.
J
I
don't
see
lots
of
areas
dedicated
for
counseling
beyond
schools,
meaning
are
there
going
to
be
on-site
counselors
relating
to
housing
issues,
mental
health
issues
with
other
the
spaces
that
I
see
for
community
spaces
relating
to
the
auditorium.
I
assume
that's
just
directly
directed
to
the
school:
is
any
consideration
being
given
to
a
community
center
space
another
auditorium
or
to
have
interactive
services
between
an
auditorium
and
other
rooms
so
that
the
community
can
actually
use
the
space
for
other
purposes
besides
academic
aside?
J
But
for
you
know
for
in
terms
of
counseling,
we
have
many
people
coming
into
the
community
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
committee
who
may
have
needs
relating
to
language,
housing,
mental
health
services,
drug
counseling,
police
presence.
What
has
what
in
terms
of
design
orientation
or
your
design
criteria?
J
J
A
The
other
part
of
that
is
that
many
services,
actually
I
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
see
that
yet
because
I
moved
here
during
a
pandemic
and
we've
been
closed
for
the
most
part,
and
so
we're
sort
of
opening
up
now
and-
and
we
and
I'm
starting
to
see
more
of
that.
So
I'm
excited
to
see
that
the
other
thing
that
is
important,
I
think
for
everybody
to
know-
is
that
our
schools
operate
in
as
community
centers.
A
Obviously,
our
main
goal
is
students
and
their
learning,
but
we
serve
as
a
community
as
a
community
space
much
more
than
than
we
than
we
used
to
in
schools
across
the
country,
and
I
I've
been
impressed
in
burlington
with
how
much
we
do
here
beyond
what
other
school
districts
do,
so
that
will
be
a
part
of
our
our
design,
thinking
absolutely
how
we
create
community
schools
community
space
within
our
school
to
provide
additional
services,
we're
not
at
that
stage.
Yet
in
the
development.
These
are
conceptual
designs,
so
carl
can
talk
to
that.
A
But
he's
helped
me
understand,
and
carl
has
designed
many
schools,
as
has
the
broader
team,
that
we're
at
a
really
early
stage
of
sort
of
mapping
out
what
this
building
could
look
like
mostly
looking
at
the
number
of
stories,
the
square
footage,
the
the
place
that's
laid
out
on
the
on
the
on
the
land
and
what
the
soil
looks
like
underneath
we're
not
yet
at
the
design
principle
stage
of
that,
but
we're
hearing
that
feedback.
Now
we
have
a
survey
out.
We
want
you
to
keep
giving
us
that
kind
of
feedback.
A
B
Got
a
few
things
he
can
show
us,
and
I
just
also
wanted
to
remind
the
community
that
we
really
intentionally
put
burlington
high
school
as
part
of
our
new
five-year
strategic
plan,
and
so
we're
really
looking
at
the
curriculum,
the
programming,
the
services.
So
beyond
what
this
building
offers
and
we
can
do
like
we
are
committed
to
doing
that
for
burlington
high
school
for
the
next
five
years
as
part
of
our
new
strategic
plan
too.
C
If
I
could
russ
and
superintendent,
I
could
add
and,
as
you
say,
sort
of
an
outsider's
perspective
having
designed
schools
in
other
districts
that
that
the
program
that
that,
in
that
300
000
square
feet,
is
a
very
robust
program
in
terms
of
student
services
and
student
support
and
and
even
family
support
compared
to
other
programs
that
we've
seen
for
for
comparable
high
schools.
We
still
have
time
in
subsequent
design
phases
to
work
out.
C
C
The
intensive
special
needs
program
so
that
children
of
students
of
all
types
are
being
accommodated
and
served
very
well
in
this
program
and
in
all
of
these
options,
as
I
say,
have
those
components
and
the
details
of
exactly
where
they're,
positioned
in
the
building
and
so
forth,
are
still
to
be
worked
out.
But
we
we
appreciate
the
input
and
and
are,
as
I
say,
impressed
with
the
the
amount
of
attention
that
social
needs
and
emotional
needs
are
given
to
the
students
and
their
families.
Here.
A
A
Those
are
that
it's
an
aggressive
timeline,
but
I
think
the
important
thing
to
know
is
that
we've
done
a
lot
of
engagement
with
community
with
our
community
around
the
re-envisioning
process
before
this
project,
so
we're
bringing
that
to
bear
to
this
project
and
we're
trying
to
do
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
right
now
of
hearing
from
you.
I've
mentioned
the
survey.
We
also
have
a
number
of
school
board
members
here
who
are
interested
in
hearing
your
direct
feedback.
A
The
school
board
members
are
also
are
going
to
be
voting
on
and
making
a
decision
in
whatever
fashion
they
they
they
make
that
decision
on
on
the
27th,
so
they're.
You
know
they're
here
to
also
hear
from
you
and
and
to
help
them
help
inform
their
decisions.
So
it
is.
It
is
an
aggressive
timeline
and
that's
because
we're
current,
we
currently
don't
have
a
high
school
building
and
we
are
in
a
department
store
and
it's
a
great
department
store.
A
It's
serving
our
needs
right
now,
but
it's
not
a
school
and
we
need
a
school.
We
have
about
a
thousand
students.
We've
dropped
to
about
960
at
the
last
at
the
last
count.
That
is
a
big
and
robust
high
school.
It's
it's
not
the
size
of
other
other
high
schools
around
the
the
state
that
that
have
300
200
students.
It
is
a
it
is
a
big,
thriving
high
school
and
it,
and
and
and
the
students
in
that
school
deserve
deserve
a
space
to
learn.
I
I
just
like
to
add,
as
the
architectural
team
we've
been
working
on
this
for
about
four
and
a
half
months
and
think
of
this
as
the
beginning
of
the
process,
it's
not
an
end.
It's
just
a
point
in
time
to
look
at
comparative
options
that
really
have
to
be
refined
and
developed
through
what
we
call
schematic,
design,
bond
boat,
design,
development,
construction
documents,
so
there's
plenty
of
time
to
input
and
refine
these
individual
spaces.
I
And
if
you
go
on
on
the
website,
you
can
find
this
educational
program
that
carl
is
referencing
and
you
can
really
drill
down
and
look
at
some
of
the
individual
spaces
that
you
might
be
interested
in
and
those
are
square
footage
spaces
that
need
to
be
refined
and
morphed
together.
Once
we
pick
a
directional
option,
so
we've
we've
been
at
this
for
a
little
while
we
have
a
steering
committee
of
about
27
people,
we've
had
the
programming
sessions
with
staff
teachers,
students
student
sessions
about
a
month
ago.
B
We
have
a
question
in
the
chat
which
I
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
be
prepared
to
answer,
but
I'm
going
to
throw
it
to
the
team,
can
option
d
be
rotated
and
move
west
and
kept
on
the
existing
building
site
to
eliminate
the
cost
of
road
relocation,
and
if
we
can't
answer
that
today,
if
we
want
to
put
that
in
our
in
the
parking
lot,
but
it's
something
to
consider.
That's
fine,
too.
I
Well,
yeah
anything
is
possible
at
this
stage
nothing's
built,
but
the
reason
why
option
d
works
so
well
is
the
compact
l
nature
in
creating
a
more
flat
site.
The
other
options
have
to
work
with
the
topographic
surveying
of
stepping
up
the
hill
and
that's
why
you
see
the
different
configurations,
but
we
all
have
grown
to
love,
option
d
for
various
reasons,
but
it
does
have
its
cons
as
well.
So.
C
Possibility
of
of
tweaking
and
refining
these
options
and
say
I
like
whatever
it
is
about
option
d,
and
maybe
we
can
incorporate
that
in
one
of
the
other
options
and
so
forth.
So
in
addition,
when
the
when
this,
I
believe,
there's
room
on
the
survey
where
you
can
not
only
tell
us
which
which
option
you
prefer,
but
but
why
and
what
aspects
of
it
are?
Are
you
know
most
advantageous.
H
B
H
Right
so
I
just
been
listening
to
what's
going
on
by
the
way
of
david
perkin,
just
ward,
7
resident
or
live
in
the
city
pay
taxes.
I'm
glad
that
this
school
department
school
board
has
been
in
the
school
steering
committee
has
been
working
on
this
for
months.
It's
unfortunate
that
the
public
has
had
one
meeting
a
month
ago
and
within
another
month
from
now
we're
going
to
have
the
school
board
vote
on
the
thing
it
doesn't
seem
like
community
involvement
has
been
much.
H
I've
been
trying
to
follow
this
as
of
late
to
figure
out
why
we're
spending
200
million
dollars
and
why
remediation
but
hasn't
been
spoken
about.
I
know
that
I've
heard
some
talk,
that
it
can't
be
done
or
shouldn't
be
done,
but
just
to
myself,
I've
heard
anything
out
in
the
open
why
we
can't
do
that
we're
using
building
a
so.
I
guess
my
questions
are
more
along
the
lines
of
why?
What's
the
could
we
save
money
by
leaving
building
a
we're
using
it
now?
Can
it
be
used,
then?
H
H
But
I
don't
know,
maybe
it
is
only
50
years
that
we
have
to
be
thinking
about
a
600
million
dollar
build
in
in
in
50
years.
I
mean
where
does
this?
Where
does
this
end
and
you
know,
is
it?
Is
it
logical
to
keep
building
a
and
redesign?
And
I
know
you
have
a
tight
timeline
because
we
don't
have
high
school,
but
at
the
same
time
you
have
to
look
at
the
taxpayers
and
what
is
300
million
dollars
going
to
look
like
or
200
million
dollars?
Gonna,
look
like
on
my
tax
bill
in
five
years.
A
Yeah,
I
think
we
are.
We
are
taking
that
question
really
seriously
and
we
understand
that.
There's
that
that's
something
we
need
to
be
really
responsive
to
and
and
responsible
in
in
the
next
steps.
Here
I
I
go
back
to
something
that
jesse
said
a
moment
ago,
which
is
that
we
are
at
a
point
we're
headed
toward
a
november
bond
vote
right.
A
We
are
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
engage
in
multiple
different
ways,
whether
it's
through
meeting
on
friday
afternoon
or
meeting
next
week.
I'm
happy
to
do
that
with
anybody
here
and
sort
of
talking
it
through
and
hearing
your
hearing,
your
feedback,
your
thoughts
or
concerns,
or
your
ideas
and-
and
that
goes
all
the
way
until
november-
we're
just
at
that
conceptual
design
phase.
A
It
feels
heavy
because
there's
going
to
be
a
decision,
the
school
board
will
make
on
the
27th,
but
it's
still
we're
still
at
that
high
level
of
design
phase
and
there's
still
a
lot
of
room
for
for
conversation
and
and
discussion
about
that
building
a
we
are.
We
we
were
told
by
the
epa
the
department
of
environmental
conservation
and
the
department
of
environmental
conservation.
A
When
I
asked
them.
If
it
was
safe
to
go
back
in
the
building
to
have
school,
they
said
no,
no
one
thought
no
one
in
the
room
thought
it
was
safe
to
go
back
in
the
building,
so
that
that's
what
led
to
us
needing
to
leave
the
building
since
then,
and
that
has
to
do
with
the
amount
of
hours
that
you
spend
in
the
building.
A
So
there's
a
certain
amount
of
time
that
and
time
time
exposure
in
the
building
that
that
we
have
to
be
aware
of
now
as
we're
using
the
a
building
the
a
building
again,
as
with
all
the
buildings,
the
issue
is
that
number
one
they
weren't
accessible
to
begin
with,
and
we
were
already
needing
to
do
significant
updates
to
all
of
the
different
seven
bills,
all
the
all
the
buildings
right
and,
and
then
pile
on
that
was
70
million
dollars
pile.
On
top
of
that
we
find
pcbs
in
the
wall
in
the
caulking.
A
Then
we
learn
it
is
in
the
walls.
It
is
seeped
into
the
concrete,
brick
walls.
It
is
in
the
glue
mastic
underneath
the
tiling,
it's
seeped
into
the
the
concrete
foundation.
It
is
seeped
into
the
soil
outside
and
it
is
in
the
ceilings
because
it's
also
in
lighting's
lighting
fixtures
that
they've
used.
So
it's
it's
everywhere
in
the
building
and
what
you've
heard
most
as
a
what
we've
heard
most
as
a
community.
A
Is
these
action
levels
related
to
air
pcbs
in
the
air,
but
what
we're
being
regulated
on
by
the
dec
and
the
epa
now
is
not
just
airborne
pcbs,
so
those
action
levels
don't
mean
a
whole
lot
actually
anymore.
It
is
about
the
building
materials
also,
and
so
we're
at
a
point
where
the
floors,
the
floors,
needs
to
be
redone.
The
walls
need
to
be
redone.
The
ceiling
needs
to
be
redone.
The
soil
needs
to
be
fixed.
A
That's
a
I
mean,
that's
that's
a
that's
not
possible
for
us
to
do
in
a
fiscally
responsible
way
to
get
to
a
place
where
we
have
a
decent
school
building
and
even
to
save
any
save
very
much
money.
I
don't
think
at
this
point.
So
that's
that's!
That's
how
we
got
to
where
we
are.
It's
an
unfortunate
situation.
I
mean
it
really
is
not
we,
we
were
put
in
a
really
bad
situation
two
years
ago
and
20
in
the
summer
of
2020.
A
When
we
learned
about
this
and
it's
it's
a
crisis,
it
was
a
crisis.
Then
it
remains
a
crisis
now,
so
we're
going
to
be
asking
we're
putting
11
million
dollars.
We
received
funding
through
the
american
rescue
plan,
we're
putting
10
million
dollars
from
that
in
we've
maintained
a
surplus.
We've
been
sound
fiscal
stewards.
Over
the
past
seven
years,
we've
we've,
we
have
us,
we've
been
running
a
surplus
which
we
believe
is
wise
to
do
on
a
budget
of
like
ours
and
we're
able
to
put
some
money
toward
that.
A
So
we
have
11
and
a
half
million
dollars
set
aside
already
to
defray
a
cost.
We
believe
we
have.
I
can't
promise
this
yet,
but
I
believe
there's
federal
funding
to
help
us
help
pay
for
the
the
remediation
of
the
building,
because
this
is
a
this
is
a
toxic
site
and
and-
and
we
believe,
there's
federal
funding
for
that.
We
we
still
have
to
you,
know
get
that
federal
funding.
I
don't
want
to
promise
it
to
you,
but
that's
that's
why
we
don't
have
it
in
the
bond?
A
Ask
and
we're
not
anticipating
it
in
the
bond
desk.
Things
could
change
if
they
do
we're
going
to
be
really
open
with
you
all
about
that,
but
that's
that's
and
then
we
also
the
technical
education
is
a
priority
of
our
governor
and
career
technical
education,
workforce
development,
50
million
dollars
of
this
building
is
career
and
technical
education
for
workforce
development.
So
I'm
we're
making
asks
right.
Okay,
so
we
want
technical
education
support
for
our
region,
because
the
btc
serves
half
students
from
a
whole
catchment
region,
not
just
our
school.
A
The
other
piece
of
this
is
is
further
down
the
line,
but
our
school
board
has
done
really
amazing
work,
advocating
for
a
fair
and
equitable
funding
formula
right
now,
taxes
are
higher
than
they.
Then
then
they
should
be
to
provide
the
program
that
we
currently
provide,
because
we
have
a
a
funding
formula
that
does
not
equitably
fund
english
learners
students
with
this
with
who
are
learning
english
students
with
ieps
and
students
with
disabilities
and
and
students
living
in
poverty,
they've
done
a
huge
amount
of
work.
A
It
actually
is
a
bill
that
was
not
going
to
be
picked
up
and
then,
with
the
with
the
hard
work
and
hustle
of
your
burlington
school
board
and
other
school
boards
in
the
region,
they're
picking
that
up
and
it
crossed
over
from
senate
ed
to
house
ways
and
means
and
they're
taking
it
seriously,
and
we
are
we're
we're
after
them
on
that.
This
is
about
not
this
is
about
having
equity.
It's
also
about
not
perpetuating
systemic
racism
in
our
funding
formula.
A
So
that's
we're
fighting
hard
for
funding
to
better
support
our
programs,
but
also
to
support
our
the
citizens
of
burlington,
and
in
this
in
this
ask,
so
I
wanted
just
to
be
real
clear
that
it's
not
about
it's,
not
just
a
a
straightforward
ask
that
we're
making
here
there
are
kind
of
multiple
different
parts
of
this.
Of
this
work
that
we're
doing.
K
All
chat
thanks
so
much
for
everybody's
numbers.
This
is
pretty
exciting.
I'm
disappointed
that
the
youngest
of
my
kids
is
going
to
graduate
in
a
year
and
miss
all
the
fun
here,
but
maybe
a
comment
or
two
in
a
couple
questions:
option
d
to
me
certainly
has
some
really
nice
appeal
to
it.
I
mean
the
idea
of
a
new
road
and
the
flow
and
a
southwesterly
exposure
to
get
some
great
lighting
is
always,
I
think,
pretty
nice
and
the
flat
design
definitely
is
very
attractive.
K
I
K
Thanks
so
I
mean
there
certainly
seems
to
be
some
appeal
to
option
b
option.
3.1,
obviously,
is
the
only
real
option
on
the
table
for
students
if
they
want
to
play
basketball
and
have
their
friends
come
easily
see
them
play
basketball
or
whatever
the
sports
are
and
use
the
option
eight
or
the
building
a
it
seems.
E
K
You,
my
my
big
comment
or
question
would
be,
and
maybe
it's
an
ask.
The
burlington
technical
center
is
such
a
key
resource
that
we
have
and
it's
been
so
well
used
and
I
think
underused
and
underappreciated.
Maybe
in
a
lot
of
ways,
there
are
many
other
school
systems
in
the
area
that
use
the
burlington
technical
center.
A
A
Question
we
actually
are
building
great
partnership.
I
think
across
the
region
for
the
catchment
area
of
the
cte
program
and
burlington
technical
center.
We
actually
have,
if
you
don't
mind
me
introducing
you,
we
have
the
chair
of
the
regional
advisory
board
for
cte
chuck
lacey
is
here
today,
he's
been
really
pushing
pushing
the
superintendents
to
work
together,
our
boards
to
work
together
to
create
more
coherence
and-
and
you
know,
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
closer
together.
A
So
that's
something
you
know
they
currently
sending
district
districts
are
paying
through
tuition,
and
so
that's
how
that's
how
the
kind
of
pricing
structure
works.
For
me,
I
think
it
adds.
It
adds
strength
to
our
to
our
ask
for
support
right
that
the
region
has
a
technical
center
that
needs
support
right
now
and
and
we
need
workforce
development
and
we
think
cte
is
going
to
help
help.
Do
that
or
be
a
part
of
that.
So
I
think
that's
that's
where
the
that's,
where
there's
some
action.
B
E
F
No
children
in
the
school,
however,
I
understand
the
need
for
good
schools
for
good
students
for
the
good
future,
so
I
commend
all
of
you
for
all
of
the
options.
Actually,
my
question
is
just
a
bit
technical.
I
don't
know
who
can
answer
it.
Zoning
and
rezoning
are
all
the
options
subject
to
the
school
district,
seeking
a
re-zone
permit
and
will
that
impact
the
decision
on
april
27th.
A
Yeah
so
we're
currently
working
with
the
with
the
city
and
the
zoning
commission
on
zoning
to
get
the
the
building
the
site
zoned
for
a
school.
So
that's
something
that's
a
work
in
progress.
We've
been
in
communication
with
the
city
since
before
before
I
got
here
on
on
zoning,
and
so
that
is
a
that
is
a
part
of
the
work
we're
doing
now
to
ensure
that
the
building
is
is
zoned
as
the
land
is
owned.
As
a
as
a
school.
B
G
Of
a
sick,
current,
sixth,
grader
and
community
member,
so
just
another
question
kind
of
prompted
actually
by
the
neighbors
of
the
closest
neighbors
is:
do
you
can
you
say
anything
about
noise
and
or
traffic
effects?
That
would
be
different
from
one
option
to
another.
Like
obviously
option
d
is
closer
to
the
mate
to
north
avenue,
but
given
that
the
design,
how
do
you
imagine
any
of
them?
You
know
impacting
noise
levels
and
or
traffic
levels.
A
A
Ideally,
we
want
to
create
a
school
building
that
doesn't
require
so
much
car
access
right.
That
is
our
goal
and
we
won't
get
there
right
away,
but
we
have
to.
We
have
to
be
mindful
of
that
as
we
build.
So
what
these
buildings
all
do
is
is
they're
very
mindful
of
traffic
flow,
which
our
old
building
is.
Not
so
it
these
these
allow
for
movement
for
drop-off
right.
A
So
it's
a
much
more
much
smoother
movement
for
traffic
through
the
through
the
site,
so
that
that's
the
first
thing
and
I
don't
see
any
any
difference
between
sort
of
sound
and
know
those
impacts.
I
think
traffic
is
would
be
better
than
it
was
before
when
we
were
in
there
and
and
and
yeah
sound.
I
don't
see
an
issue
with,
but.
I
It
just
just
adds
a
little
bit.
We
do
have
a
traffic
engineer
working
with
us
to
look
at
the
existing
intersection
and
we
are
proposing
some
improvements
to
that
institute.
Road
north
ab
intersection,
we're
looking
at
pedestrian
movements,
bicycle
movements,
improving
institute
road
itself,
carl
was
talking
a
lot
about
the
separation
of
buses
and
cars
and
drop
off.
So
that's
a
major
major
improvement
that
we
have
in
hit.
You
know
all
these
planes
compared
to
the
existing
conditions.
I
I
D
L
Across
the
street,
from
the
high
school
as
well
living
in
that
development-
and
I
support
the
rebuild
of
the
school-
I
absolutely
assume
that
you
guys
have
dreamed
up
the
most
perfect
solution.
So
that's
not
what
my
perspective
is
and
where
I'm
coming
from,
I'm
hearing
a
lot
about
partnership
and
that
you've
checked
in
with
the
community,
but
I'm
not
hearing
anything
about
what
is
the
impact
to
us
across
the
street?
L
I'm
very
concerned
that
this
is
being
rushed
through
and
I'm
not
hearing
about
what
is
the
impact
to
us
breathing
in
the
air,
the
pcps
that
you're
going
to
be
digging
up
to
get
rid
of.
I
appreciate
that
it
has
to
be
done,
but
I'm
not
hearing
anything
about
protecting
your
neighbors
across
the
street
about
being
a
good
community
member
and
including
us
in
that.
B
Okay,
so
at
this
time
it's
7
10.
This
will
leave
us
about
15,
15-20
minutes,
we're
going
to
break
into
three
groups,
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
self-select
we're
going
to
have
one
architect
here
at
these
front
tables
and
we'll
push
the
tables
together,
and
we
can
sort
of
huddle
around
we'll
have
an
additional
architect
in
the
back
of
the
room
at
those
tables
and
we'll
ask
the
architects
to
push
the
tables
together
and
huddle
around
and
then
in
the
sort
of
library.
B
Annex
to
your
right,
my
left
will
have
one
more
architect.
My
ask
here
today
is
that
you
would
take
a
survey
card
with
you
or
remember,
to
visit
the
site.
If
I
heard
someone
in
the
audience
saying
how
can
we
possibly
be
asked
to
make
a
decision
or
give
feedback
tonight,
I
respect
that,
and
I
appreciate
that
so
my
ask
is
that
you
you
do
it
in
the
next
week.
B
If
you
have
time
to
look
more,
if
you
need
more
time
to
give
us
your
feedback,
if
you
haven't
had
a
question
answered
tonight,
please
send
it
to
superintendent
bsdvt.org
if
you're
watching
the
zoom.
Please
stay
with
me
and
I'm
going
to
drop
a
link
to
the
survey
and
you
can
also
ask
questions
in
that
survey.
You
can
fill
out
the
survey
and
ask
questions
in
there
and
we'll
do
our
best
to
get
back
to
you
too.
So.
