From YouTube: Lunch with Tom, May 12
Description
As Superintendent, my three core values in education revolve around Deep Learning, Equity, and Engagement. I have enjoyed meeting and hearing from so many parents, staff, and community members this year, and I am committed to keeping the lines of conversation and communication open!
“Lunch with Tom" is a virtual opportunity to hear updates from around the District and ask questions about BSD happenings. My goal will be to host these as an opportunity to connect and share with families and community members.

Thanks for sharing your lunch break with me!

We
need
to
update
the
date
good
good
to
see
everybody
all
right
so
we'll,
as
we've
done
the
past
couple
or
as
we've
done
since
we've
started
these
really
we'll
start
with
some
updates
I'll
I'll
give.
Some
updates.
Russ
has
a
couple
of
updates
to
give
as
well
just
because
he
has
more
of
the
more
the
detail,
we'll
be
better
at
explaining
them
than
I
will
be.
B
We
have
a
quick
breakout
room
for
for
folk
for
folks
on
the
call
to
talk
a
little
bit
amongst
yourselves,
been
an
opportunity
when
we've
done
them
to
for
people
to
meet
each
other
and
have
a
quick
conversation
and
then
to
be
able
to
give
us
a
little
feedback
on
on
something
or
another.
Today,
it's
about
actually
our
these
lunches
and
and
this
kind
of
this
kind
of
part
of
the
engagement
work
and
then
we'll
just
open
it
up
for
questions
and
answers
and
that'll
be
that.
B
Is
to
is
is
just
another
opportunity
for
for
me
and
for
our
district
to
engage
with
the
broader
bsd
community
with
staff
parents,
members
of
the
public.
We
have
all
everyone
represented
today.
I
believe
in
terms
of
the
you
know:
staff
and
parents,
and
and
school
board
members
and
members
of
the
public
who
are
invested
invested
in
our
success,
and
so
that's
really.
The
idea
is
just
to
provide
an
open
forum
for
for
updates
and
conversation.
B
B
I
would
just
ask
that
if
there
are
specific
questions
about
about
yourself
or
about
your
child,
that
you
reach
out
directly
to
me
and
and
I'm
happy
to
have
that
conversation
with
you,
I
just
think
it's
most
appropriate
that
we
do
those
specific
conversations
in
in
in
private
as
opposed
to
the
this
forum
and
then
lastly,
it's
to
build
relationships
in
community.
So
it's
just
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
see
each
other
and
and
get
to
know
each
other.
B
And
build
community
so
we'll
start
with
updates
and
we've
we've
actually
gone
through
each
of
these,
and
so
we
we
didn't
have
a
goal.
But
what
we've
been
or
we?
We
don't
have
a
goal
that
we're
highlighting
today
because
we've
gone
through
each
of
the
six
goals,
one
goal
per
per
week
to
discuss
to
discuss
kind
of
where
we
are
and
what
we're.
What
we're
looking.
A
B
Where
we
are
in
terms
of
our
progress
toward
these
goals,
we
have
six
goals
that
we
developed
this
summer.
These
these
are
them
on
the.
If
you're
looking
at
the
page
on
your
left
hand,
side
and
then
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
is
the
metric
we,
their
equity
and
base
goals,
really
attempting
to
address
opportunity
gaps
and
they
were
developed
by
our
our
cabinet,
which
is
ours,
our
directors
and
executive
directors
and
our
principals.
B
It's
a
group
of
about
28
people
and
we
brought
them
to
the
school
board
and
the
school
board,
reviewed
them
and
gave
us
some
feedback,
and
then
we
we
finalized
them.
We've
been
we've
been
keeping
on
top
of
these
goals
throughout
the
course
of
the
year,
they're,
really
a
baseline
of
of
in
many
cases,
of
sort
of
understanding
where
we
are,
and
also
they
they
represent
many
of
the
of
the
strategies
and
and
and
goals
that
the
district
has
been
focusing
on
over
time.
And
so
these
will.
B
The
idea
with
these
was
to
really
have
measurable
goals
for
the
year
and
to
keep
us
focused
on
on
specific
outcomes,
but
and
also
to
give
us
the
practice
of
having
measurable
goals
that
we
that
we
look
at
throughout
the
throughout
the
year
and
stay
focused
on
and
and
as
we
head
into
the
development
of
a
new
strategic
plan
which
were
which
we're
just
starting
now
and
plan
to
co-construct
that
with
with
the
community.
And
so
these
goals
will
shift
next
year.
B
C
B
What's
that
bear
with
us
bear
with
us
but
hold
us
accountable
and
have
high
expectations
for
us
too.
So
bhs
btc
next
step.
So
we
had
a
really
big
board
meeting
the
other
last
week
and
at
that
meeting
I
recommended
that
we
move
forward
with
that.
We
end
the
the
project
of
the
re-envisioning
project
and
that
we
start
looking
for
start
planning
for
a
new,
a
new
building
for
bhs
and
btc.
B
The
school
board
agreed
with
that
recommendation.
We
had
a
lot
of
support
for
that
recommendation
through
our
own
team
and
through
the
consultants
that
we
work
with,
where
it
just
became
clear
that
we
were
not
going
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
the
original
intent
of
the
of
the
project
and
that
we
may
end
up
doing
a
whole
bunch
of
work
and
then
come
back
into
a
building.
B
That
was
no
longer
that
still
wasn't
you
know
usable,
and
so
we
couldn't
take
that
risk,
and
so
what
this
does
is
it
provides
us
a
real
opportunity
and
it
also
provides
a
certain
level
of
stress
for
for
the
community.
That
is.
That
is
really
that
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
and
it's
it's
tangible
and
I
know
it's
there
and
I
I
feel
it
personally.
While
I
also
feel
optimistic
about
about
the
future
and
the
opportunities
here,
so
what
we're
going
to
do
now
is
we're
really
going
to
work
quickly.
B
So
we
we're
gonna,
do
a
site
assessment
and,
and
that
will
give
us
a
sense
of
those
sites
that
are
available
and
ready
to
build
on
or
or
viable
spaces
for
us
to
have
a
high
school,
and
there
are
a
number
of
sites
around
town
they're,
including
the
current
burlington
high
school
site
and
burlington
technical
center
site
on
institute
road.
That
site
is
still
a
viable
site
for
a
high
school.
B
There
has
been
some
talk
about
the
the
soil,
so
the
pcbs
have
gone
into
the
soil,
but
they
haven't
gone
deep
into
the
soil
so
and
then
so
there
is
no,
what
they
call
plume
or
anything,
that's
sort
of
underneath
the
the
ground
that
may
shift
around
to
other
sites
on
that
site.
It's
really
sort
of
on
the
surface
at
this
point,
and
so
we
are
able
to
to
utilize
that
site.
There
are
some
other
sites.
B
There
are
some
ideas
for
downtown:
we're
really
enjoying
the
opportunity
of
being
downtown
and
continuing
to
see
the
great
opportunities
for
for
deep
learning
and
connection
to
the
community
in
in
being
downtown,
and
so
that's
there
are
a
couple
of
sites
downtown
that
could
be
viable
and
so
we'll
be
looking
at
all
of
those
options
so
likely.
What
will
happen
is
we'll
get
to
a
series.
B
A
set
of
you
know
five
to
ten
sites
and
then
narrow
those
down
to
two
to
three
sites,
and
then
we
do
a
site
assessed
phase
two
of
a
site
assessment
where
we
bring
in
civil
engineers
and
architects
and
and
really
see
of
those
last
couple
sites
that
are
truly
the
most
viable.
What
is
what
really
is
viable
and
then
make
a
decision
there,
and
this
is
the
part
of
this-
is
the
construction
takes
two
years?
It
takes
two
to
three
years,
so
I'm
saying
it,
we
have
an
aggressive
timeline.
It
takes
two
years.
B
This
is
the
part
of
the
work.
The
site
assessment
work,
the
the
the
drawings,
the
development
of
the
the
bond.
All
the
work
that
has
to
go
into
getting
to
the
point
where
you
can
build
is
what
can
also
take
a
lot
of
time,
and
so
what
we're
going
to
need
to
do
is
be
really
aggressive
in
the
beginning
of
this
process
and
really
utilize
the
the
work
that
we've
done
up
to
this
point
to
on
to
understand
what
sites
are
available.
We
already
have
some
drawings,
we've
already
done
some
site
assessment.
B
We've
already
done
some
engagement
around
around
what
sites
the
community
would
want.
So
we'll
still
do
that
work,
but
we're
going
to
really
do
that
quickly,
so
that
we
don't
push
back
our
timelines
and
and
push
out
beyond
the
the
four
years
that
it
that
it
could
take
if
we
do
a
really
aggressive
project.
B
B
Edmonds
middle
school,
principal
search,
so
james,
who
is
on
the
call,
unfortunately,
is
leaving
us
to
to
move
to
the
other
side
of
the
country
we
support
james
in
in
that
decision
and
are
grateful
for
the
work
that
he's
done
and
james
has
been
an
amazing
leader
for
us
at
edmonds.
I'm
very
sad
to
see
him
go,
and
I
also
wish
him
the
best
in
his
new
in
his
new
endeavor
and
and
so
we're
gonna
we're
posting.
We
have
posted
a
a
principal
vacancy
for
edmonds
middle
school.
B
That
I
know
is
something
that
has
been
done
before,
and
people
generally
have
told
me
that
it
was
not
not
successful
for
multiple
different
reasons,
not
because
of
any
any
individual
people,
but
just
because
of
the
design.
I
do
believe
we
could
do
it
differently
and
have
success.
I
feel
I
feel
pretty
strongly
about
that.
I
also
heard
the
feedback
of
staff
on
friday.
B
B
C
Sure
thanks
everybody,
many
of
you,
probably
just
before
this
meeting
started,
got
an
email
and
possibly
a
text
message
from
us.
We
have
our
on
top
of
it
this
year,
getting
the
annual
student
update
out
before
the
end
of
the
year,
for
probably
the
first
time
that
I
can
remember.
We
usually
kind
of
do
this
in
august,
but
we
have
bumped
it
up,
so
we
can
have
all
of
our
information
ready
to
go
for
the
start
of
the
year
as
we're
planning
to
bring
everybody
back
full
in
person.
C
So
please
complete
your
annual
student
update
in
powerschool
by
next
friday
or
victor
on.
The
call
will
be
sending
me
tons
of
emails
asking
me
to
send
you
tons
of
emails
so
help
me
out
and
please
complete.
The
annual
student
update
travel
plans
for
schools.
Hopefully,
everyone
has
had
a
chance
to
look
through
this.
We
are
working
with
the
city
as
well
as
a
couple
of
other
partners,
chittenden
county
regional
planning,
commission.
C
Some
of
you
know
that
some
of
our
schools
have
what
we
call
safe
routes
to
schools,
and
these
are
ways
that
we
can
help
you
get
to
school.
That's
not
necessarily
using
a
car,
but
what
is
the
safest
way
for
you
to
to
travel
using
alternative
means,
whether
that
be
white,
walking,
busing
biking,
so
we're
trying
to
do
that
for
all
of
our
schools.
All
of
our
campuses.
C
Now
we
are
focused
on
the
52
institute
road
campus
right
now,
hoping
you
know
it
was
a
possibility
that
that
might
be
a
location
in
the
future.
We
had
to
sort
of
pick
one,
because
at
the
time
we
got
the
grant
to
do
this
work.
That
was,
that
was
the
site.
So
just
I
would
ask
that
you
go
to
the
website.
Tell
us
how
you
travel
to
schools.
How
can
you?
C
B
B
Funding
is
that
we
will
focus
on
academic
support,
social
and
emotional
and
health
and
well-being
and
mental
health
and
engagement,
there's
also
the
opportunity
to
utilize
some
recovery
funds
for
facilities
upgrades
and
so
we're
we're
building
those
plans.
Those
plans
are
due
to
the
agency
of
education
and
we
have
a
task
force
that
has
been
working
on
those
and
then
the
agency
of
education
is
is
charged
with
reviewing
and
approving
plans,
and
then
we
begin
to
implement.
B
This
has
been
both
a
really
great
opportunity
and
something
that
we're
really
looking
forward
to
and
a
challenge
that
we
know
we
need
to
think
about
more
long
term.
And
so
it's
connected
to
this
last
point
here,
which
is
about
the
strategic
plan.
So
we're
working
with
we're
going
to
be
working.
We've
just
started
working
with
a
group
called
the
center
for
innovative
education,
and
that
is
we're
working
with
two
people.
B
He
was
a
chief
academic
officer
role
in
boston
and
then
was
an
assistant
superintendent
in
fulton
county
georgia,
and
they
both
work
with
us
in
now
in
the
deeper
learning
dozen
group
that
we're
in
with
the
harvard
graduate
school
of
education
and
victor
prusak
is
leading
us
in
this
work,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
co-constructed
strategic
plan
that
we
develop
with
the
community.
And
so
what
we're
going
to
do
is
put
forth
a
recovery
plan.
B
Then
do
it
our
strategic
planning
process
and
then
look
at
our
recovery
plan
again
and
see
where
we,
where
we
need
to
make
adjustments
based
on
the
strategic
planning,
and
so
that's,
I
know,
probably
sounds
way
pretty
convoluted
and
my
timing
time
is
up.
Breast
tells
me
so
I'm
here
to
answer
questions
about
those
but
long
story
short.
We
we
do
have
an
infusion
of
of
of
resources
to
be
able
over
the
next
three
years
to
be
able
to
do
some.
A
C
Sure
so
victor
prusak
again
is
on
the
call
he's
our
director
of
the
office
of
engagement.
This
is
sort
of
the
brainchild
of
tom
victor
and
I
trying
to
figure
out
what
are
some
ways.
We
can
have
some
regular
engagement
with
the
community
when
we
first
started
doing
these.
We
thought
we
would
do
them
for
a
couple
of
months
and
then
probably
want
to
move
away
from
them,
but
we've
had
pretty
good
attendance
and
we've
kind
of
sort
of
continued
them
into
may
and
have
plans
to
continue
them.
C
So
if
we
were
to
move
around
the
days
and
times
for
this
meeting,
what
would
you
suggest
or
does
this
work?
Well,
if
you
don't
want
to
answer
that
question,
our
other
ask
is:
what
is
one
thing
that
we
can
do
to
improve
our
time
together?
So
I'm
gonna
put
you
in
breakout
rooms
of
four
for
about
five
minutes.
We're
gonna,
make
it
real
quick
and
then
we
can
report
out
and
jump
right
into
our
questions
and
answers.
C
C
B
B
D
C
F
F
Sometimes
it's
just
hard
to
do
the
first
time
anyway,
even
if
it's
a
zoom
call,
but
I
think
you
know,
accessibility,
there's
all
kinds
of
questions
for
every
any
kind
of
meeting
you
choose
to
have.
There
are
accessibility
issues,
but
I
can
only
say
this
works
well.
For
me,
I've
appreciated
this
time
and
I
just
put
a
plug
that
I
think
if
principals
would
be
willing
to
do
this,
it
would
really.
C
C
D
D
I
also
concur
that
I
don't
always
say
virtual
meetings
have
an
advantage,
but
for
me
it
does
because
there's
no
way
I
could
leave
work
to
go
to
a
lunch
with
tom
with
my
schedule,
but
I
have
been
able
to
make
it
this
year,
which
has
been
great.
I
don't
know
if
that'll
be
true
next
year,
because
I'm
a
teacher
and
my
schedule
changes.
D
C
C
Of
me
is
hesitant
because
I
was
with
yao
when
we
tried
to
do
those
and
they
were
just
so
poorly
attended,
but
maybe
we
are
maybe
I've
gotten
better
about
sort
of
publicizing
the
agenda
and
yeah
and
then
part
of
me
does
things
like
the
virtual
has
been
really
good
for
getting
people
to
come
out.
So
in.
E
E
E
So
that
was
the
suggestion
so
that
we
could
hear
from
more
people
but
trying
to
keep
it
short,
because,
knowing
that
you
don't
want
it
to
go
on
forever,
and
there
was
a
suggestion
of
in
trying
to
maybe
attract
different
populations
of
people
to
invite
either
the
the
mls
and
or
I
met
like
an
elementary
school
teacher
so
that
we
know
what's
going
on
in
elementary
schools.
If
we're
at
not
at
that
stage
in
life
anymore
and
perhaps
special
ed,
just
to
get
more
of
a
variety.
C
G
Yeah,
it's
claire,
I
was
with
gail
and
vicki
from
king
street
and
we
felt
the
same
so
great,
similar
vicky.
We
asked
vicki
how
king
street
does
it
and
attracting
families
to
engagement
like
this.
She,
I
know
king
street
used
to
do
lunch
hours
as
well,
and
we
two
too
also
said
about
the
multilingual
liaisons
helping
out
and
organizing
that
when
we
did
engagement
around
the
pre-k,
we
did
utilize
their
services
and
it
did
help
and
attract
those
voices
to
the
table.
So
thank
you.
E
E
C
B
All
right
well,
thank
you
for
that
feedback.
I
I
love
the
idea
of
the
conversation
like
getting
voices
in
up
front.
I
think
that's
we
do
that
at
all
of
our
meetings
too,
so
it
does
feel
odd
to
sort
of
jump
into
me
blabbing
on
so
I
love
that
idea
and
and
the
others.
So
thank
you
for
that
for
thinking
about
that
and
giving
us
that
feedback,
we
will
definitely
incorporate
it
into
our
into
our
work.
B
F
I
I
speak
up
and
say
that
I
appreciate
virtual,
I
know
previous
superintendents
had
breakfast
and
stuff
and
I
never
made
it
to
any
of
those,
so
this
is
easier
to
pop
in
and
out.
I
think
I,
but
I
think
that
it
could
be
done.
I
think,
as
we
move
forward,
maybe
it
can
be
done
as
both
I
was
thinking
about.
F
You
know
using
the
resources
at
the
library
to
maybe
have
a
meeting
and
then
maybe
make
it
available
for
people
that
jump
in
on
zoom
two,
because
they
have
a
lot
of
tech,
support
and
experience
with
that
and
I'd
love
to
see
the
district
really
engage
with
the
library.
I
think
they're
a
great.
I
know
I
know
we're
working
on
it,
but
I
think
fletcher
free
is
a
great
point
for
that
collaboration.
D
D
So
I
love
the
idea
of
the
multilingual
liaisons
getting
involved,
or
even
just
like
word
goes
out
into
say.
The
new
american
community,
like
gather
at
this
time,
to
watch
the
recording
of
this
or
gather
at
this
time
around
the
computer
until
people
get
more
comfortable
with
it,
I'm
not
totally
clear
on
people's
comfort
level
and
their
work
day.
So
I
think
that's
a
good
question
to
explore
how
to
maybe
even
bring
them
into
a
school
setting
or
something.
If
you're
going
to
keep
doing
this.
C
A
B
You
know,
completion
of
the
course
and
then
I
think,
there's
debate
is
there
completion
of
the
course
and
is
there
passing?
Is
it
passing
the
test
and
if
or
is
it
a?
Is
it
a
three
or
a
four?
Is
it
you
know?
I
think
there
are
a
lot
there
could
be
lots
of
debate
around
that
question.
The
original
idea
for
this
goal
was
to
start
really
looking
at.
What's
what?
What
is
the
access
right?
B
E
B
Yeah
the
equity
report
speaks
to
it.
We
also
just
we've
been
looking
at
this
as
a
leadership
team
too,
and
it
it
is.
It's
a
good
question
how
what
what
are
the
trends
over
time?
We
do
have
the
past
couple
of
years
and
those
numbers.
What
it
shows
us
is
that
the
percent
of
students,
the
the
percent,
the
students,
are
not
reflected.
Our
our
student
body
is
not
reflected
in
our
ap
classes
and
now
or
last
year
I
think,
or
the
year
before.
B
And
the
and
the
high
school
team
has
been
well.
Lauren
has
been
a
part
of
those
kind
of
initial
conversations,
kate,
and
I
know
that
you
all
are
starting
to
talk
about
that
too
or
have
been
talking
about
it,
and
so
I
think
there's
some
some
work
there
and
then
I
think
we'll
see
if
this,
if
the
same
goal
shows
up
in
our
strategic
plan
and
sort
of
where
the,
where
the
community
is
on
on
this
goal.
But
it
does
seem
clear
that
we've
we
have.
C
A
B
What
we
know
is
we
have
to,
we
have
to
demolish
those
buildings
and
do
so
in
a
way
that
is
safe
for
the
environment
and
meets
all
of
the
rules
around
how
you
demolish
buildings
that
have
eminence
so
there's.
There
is
a
cost
to
the
demolition
of
of
the
building
that
we
need
to
factor
into
our
the
overall
project
for
the
high
school.
I
think
there
are.
We
don't
know
yet
exactly
what
that
will
look
like.
B
I
also
think
that
this
could
be
a
place
where
there
there
may
be
federal
and
state
funding
for
cleanup
of
of
sites
that
have
toxic
materials
in
a
way
that
it
may
be
easier
for
us
to
get
funding
there
than
it
would
be
like
state
and
federal
kind
of
relief
funding
for
that
type
of
work
than
than
it
would
be
for
building
a
high
school,
but
we'll
be
looking
for
funding
on
both
sides,
both
sides
of
the
coin,
but
this
is
definitely
something
that
we
we
have
to.
We
have
to
deal.
A
B
What
we've
found
we've
we
volunteered
in
both
cases
and
in
both
cases
they
said,
we're
really
focusing
the
vaccination
clinics
in
places
where
in
schools,
in
places
where
those
are
the
big
spaces
in
the
community
and
can
provide
access
for
the
community
and
in
burlington
there
are
other
big
spaces
that
we
can
use.
So
we'll
use
those
spaces,
and
so
I
think
that
has
worked
for
adults.
B
I
did
have
to
drive
the
champlain
valley
to
get
mine,
but
hey.
It
was
worth
it,
but
we
want
to
make
sure,
there's
access
to
these
vaccinations
and
that
people
know
that
they're
that
that
it's
important
to
be
vaccinated
for
overall
public
health,
and
so
that's
something
that
we'll
continue
to
message
and
and
will
be
a
part
of
our
work
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
as
much
access
and
information
as
possible.
B
B
I
just
I
just
hear
that
sort
of
everywhere
everywhere
I
turn
which
is
great
to
hear.
Even
though
there
are
a
couple
students,
not
a
couple.
There
are
there's
a
small
handful
of
students
and
families
out
there
for
whom
remote
learning
they
feel
has
really
worked,
and
so
we
really
have
to
think
about
about
that
and
it
was.
It
was
helpful
in
that
meeting
to
hear
from
students
about
kind
of
what
worked
right,
the
the
self-pacing,
the
ability
to
have
a
snack
while
you're
learning,
simple,
simple
things,
make
a
difference.
Well,.
B
As
soon
as
possible,
we
do
have
interest
from
there.
There
is
significant
interest
out
there,
so
we
have
a
number
of
viable
and
strong
candidates.
We
have
some
candidates
who
were
in
different
parts
of
the
high
school
search
who
are
who
continue
to
be
interested
and-
and
we
have,
I
believe
we
have
some
internal
people
who
are
also
interested.
So
I
think,
we'll
I
think
we're
we're
in
a
good
place
for
for
that
search.
B
It
is
one
of
my
goals,
long
term,
for
us
to
really
build
leadership
capacity
within
our
district,
so
that
it
doesn't
feel
like
a
scramble
when
we
when
we
need
to
find
a
school
leader-
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
work
for
us
to
to
do
there.
I
actually
met
with
a
group
yesterday
called
new
leaders
who
develop
their.
They
used
to
be
a
a
principal
residency
program,
and
now
they
do
some
bigger
work,
around
leadership,
development
and
and
some
principal
residency
work
still
too.
B
C
And
if
anybody
wants
to
help
communication
office
we'll
be
putting
it
all
over
social
media
today,
probably
next
week,
so
please
share
send
it
to
people.
I
think
we
have
a
couple
more
questions
about
burlington
high
school
jen.
Would
you
like
to
share
your
questions
about
toxicity,
which
I
could
be
actually
about
anything
now
that
I
say
that
out
loud,
but
I
thought
maybe
it
was
related
to
bhs,
but
whatever
you
want
to
share.
H
Thank
you.
It
was
related
to
vhs,
but
also
more
broadly
related.
I
guess
to
all
the
money
that
was
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this
lunch
that
I
guess
will
be
coming
in
over
the
next
several
years
and
and
just
you
know,
hoping
that,
maybe
there
could
be
a
conversation
about
really
creative
ways
to
use
that
money
and
and
to
build
a
new
high
school.
H
That
could
set
a
good
example
for
our
youth
of
how
to
build
without
toxic
anything,
because
it
can
be
done
and
it
has
been
done
up
until,
like
you
know,
I
guess
industrial
times
right,
like
people
always
used
to
make
structures
out
of
things
that
wouldn't
kill
us
unless
they
collapse
on
us.
So
yeah.
H
Not
us
personally,
but
you
know
there
was
a
really
dark
age
in
history
when
we
were
using
really
terrible
building
materials,
and
unfortunately
we
haven't
stopped
completely
with
that.
I
think
we've
gotten
better,
so
I
it
could
be
a
super
good
learning
opportunity
for
the
kids.
I
had
thought
had
that
thought,
the
toxicity
and
then
oh.
H
I
did
want
to
ask
more
about
like
what
would
be
the
process
for
figuring
out
how
all
that
recovery,
planning
money
would
be
spent
and
if
there
could
be
even
like
possibilities
for
the
kids
to
design
their
own
curriculum
more
with
more
financial
support.
I
know
that's
kind
of
been
a
big
one
for
me.
As
I
talk
with
my
son.
H
B
B
I
that's
that's
next,
that's
next
level
thinking,
but
definitely
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
environmentally
sound
and
responsible
building
and
that'll
be
a
key
part
of
of
the
work
that
we
do
and
I
want,
and
we
want
to
think
about
how
we're
bringing
the
outside
world
of
of
in
the
world
that
we're
preparing
students
for
into
the
structure
and
into
the
design
and
build
of
the
structure.
So
that
really
spoke
to
me,
and
I
appreciate
your
feedback
and
the
second
is
student
voice.
B
So
we're
a
part
of
this
group
called
the
deeper
learning
dozen,
where
we
we've
been
spending
a
lot
of
time,
thinking
about
student
voice
and
how
we
bring
students
into
decision
making
and
center
them
in
the
decision
making,
as
opposed
to
getting
their
feedback
after
a
decision
has
been
made
to
have
them
tell
us
whether
it
was
horrible
or
okay
to
bring
them
in
in
the
beginning.
It's
it
is
sort
of
opposite
to
the
way
that
schools
were
designed
right
school.
B
Our
schools
were
designed
in
for
an
industrial
era
of
sort
of
giving
children
information
to
to
go.
You
know
work
in
factories
and
and
and
sort
of
be
kind
of
robotic,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
room
to
do
to
shift
that,
but
I
do
think
that
you're
right
that
giving
student
voice,
giving
space
for
student
voice
and
student
agency
in
the
development
of
everything
we
do
is
is
something
that
we
need
to
commit
to,
and
so
from
from
curriculum
to
to
designing
buildings
to
being
on
hiring
committees
to
being
on
school
boards.
B
To
you
know
all
those
types
of
opportunities,
I
think
are
really
ones
that
we
need
to
take
seriously
and
not
just
do
as
as
kind
of
lip
service
so
keep
keep
on
us
on
that
and
in
terms
of
recovery
funding,
we
do
have
a
student.
We
do
have
student
representative
on
the
recovery
team
but,
as
I
said,
I
just
feel
like
this
is
one
of
those
ones
where
we're
moving
so
fast.
It
is
moving
so
fast.
The
timeline
is
so
short
that
we
really
have
to
think
about
this.
B
B
Our
school
board
is
really
interested,
as
as
we
are
as
a
district
in
in
place
based
learning
and
deeper
learning,
and
bringing
teacher
and
student
responsibility
and
and
development
into
that
work,
and
so
that's
work
that
we're
we're
really
deeply
committed
to,
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
to
think
long.
We
have
to
think
out
long
term.
B
C
C
D
H
D
B
I
I
would
start
by
saying
that
we
are.
We
really
need
the
support
and
the
engagement
of
our
community.
If
we're
going
to
do
this
well,
and
I
think
we
we
have
it
right,
but
we
also
need
to
be
really
intentional
about
continuing
to
to
nurture
right
that
that
that
engagement.
So
I
think
the
first
thing
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
communic
as
on
the
district
side,
that
we're
communicating
clearly
where
we
are
in
the
process
and
that
we
are
creating
spaces
for
feedback
and
for
for
conversation.
So
we
did.
B
We
did
get
some
outreach
from
city
council
to
to
start
having
this
conversation
with
with
them.
So
what
one
of
the
things
that
russ-
and
I
have
been
really
conscious
about-
is
making
sure
that
this
is
not
a
quiet
decision
or
a
quiet
conversation
that
it's
really
public,
so
we've
been
on
15
different
news
events
and
news
outlets,
and-
and
we
want
to
sort
of
take
advantage
of
every
opportunity
to
talk
about
it
and
so
that
people
know
that
it's
happening
and
can
engage
when
when
we
start
doing
that
work.
B
I
Yeah,
I
think
no,
I
think,
that's
spot
on.
I
think
the
other
piece-
and
it's
actually
kate,
mentioned
it
and
heard
the
lead
into
her
question,
which
is
the
opportunity
to
build
a
new
high
school,
is
very
exciting
right,
and
so
it's
that
enthusiasm-
and
I
don't
even
you
know
people
using
like
you
know-
make
lemons
out
of
lemonade.
I
So
I
think
it's
how
much
that
we
focus
on
that
opportunity
and,
as
tom
said,
like
even
said,
he's
being
told
three
years
to
build
a
new
building
and
he's
saying
two
years
like
like
there's
an
urgency
and
such
an
opportunity
right
now.
So
how
do
we
garner
and
run
with
that
excitement
and
get
folks
engaged
so
that
we
have
support
in
the
input
processes
on
the
way
supporting
the
funding
process
as
well.
C
Yeah
and
I
think
for
me
it
goes
back
to
we.
We
want
to
answer
questions
about
this
it
and
even
if
we
don't
have
the
answers,
I've
seen
some
emails
from
tom
the
last
couple
of
weeks
and
said.
I
know
this
isn't
the
answer
you
want,
you
know,
but
we're
working
on
it,
and
this
is
what
we're
passionate
about.
C
So
for
me
it
when
you
see
information
about
the
high
school
online
on
the
media
on
social
media
share
it
with
your
friends,
make
sure
that
they
know
that
we
have
been
trying
to
talk
about
this
for
a
few
months
now
and
that
this
process
is
coming
and
it's
going
to
be
quick.
So
just
do
help
us,
keep
your
people
informed
and
then
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
If
you
think
of
engagement
opportunities,
we
want
to
be
out
there.
C
Tom
was
at
an
mpa
last
week,
so
we're
going
to
be
at
city
council
as
he
said,
so
we
really
want
the
story
out,
so
we
have
one
minute
left
tom
and
then
we
had.
I
know
we're
going
to
be
at
the
at
macy's
for
the
next
three
to
four
years.
What
are
the
plans
for
that
location?
I
know
that
it
has
some
deficits,
but
how
do
we
make
the
most
out
of
it?
So
I
know
there's
some
stuff
going
on
this
summer,
that
you
might
want
to
talk
about
and
talk
about.
B
Big
thing
is
making
sure
that
we
we
haven't
done
this
like
a.
We
have
a
noise
consultant
or
a
sound
consultant.
I
guess
I
should
say:
who's
walked
the
building
with
us
to
sort
of
understand
where
the
pain
points
are
around
the
noise.
There
are
a
couple
of
rooms,
there's
sort
of
a
general
hum
in
the
building.
B
I've
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
in
the
building,
and
then
there
are
some
classrooms
that
are
really
that
are
fine
and
there
are
some
other
classrooms
that
are
that
we
need
to
have
some
solutions
for,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
different
solutions.
There
are
some
there's
like
some
padding
you
can
put
on
walls,
and
then
there
are
also
some
screens
that
you
can
put
on
from
ceiling
to
the
bottom
of
wall,
and
so
there
are.
B
Some
of
that
students
are,
you
know:
you'll
you'll,
almost
you'll
often
see
students
kind
of
coming
out
in
the
front
for
a
break
with
their
teacher
doing
their,
and
then
we
have
started
to
use
the
top
of
the
of
the
parking
structure.
So
there's
some
outdoor
space
out
there
that
we've
been
able
to
work
with
the
parking
folks
to
utilize,
and
we
also
started
to
build
partnerships,
sort
of
the
deeper
work
right
around
partnerships
with
other
with
organizations
that
are
close
by
we've.
Victor
has
really
helped
us.
B
B
B
C
So
it
is
102..
I
think
we
should
let
people
get
to
work,
but
I
dropped
my
email
in
there.
If
anybody
has
questions
concerns
comments,
you
can
reach
out
to
me
and
also
drop
superintendent.
Flanagan's
email
in
there
he's
more
important
than
I
am
so
he's.
The
one
you'll
probably
want
to
talk
to.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
coming
have
a
great
day
good,
to
see.
