From YouTube: School Board Meeting - May 26, 2020
Description
Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education - Live Broadcast - May 26, 2020
A
Good
evening,
everyone
welcome
to
this
regular
board
meeting
of
the
Fargo
Board
of
Education.
We
do
have
an
agenda
in
front
of
us,
but
I
would
like
to
make
a
couple
statements
kind
of
a
preamble.
If
you
will
before
we
begin
the
meeting
things
have
been
happy
happening
at
a
dizzying
pace
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
plans
changed
even
from
three
o'clock
today.
So
I
know,
a
lot
of
our
friends
are
watching
this
board
meeting
carefully
and
an
establishment
in
North,
Fargo,
and
so
shout
out
to
you.
A
Thank
you
for
joining
us,
but
I
was
planning
to
offer
an
amendment
to
the
night's
agenda
regarding
graduation
ceremonies,
but
I
do
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
think
it.
It's
important
to
note
and
I
assume
everybody
else
would
love
nothing
more
than
a
ceremony
in
which
everyone
that
wanted
to
could
attend.
We
can
relate
to
parents
justifiable
frustration
because
we
all
are
parents
ourselves
and
one
board.
Member
even
has
a
child
graduating
this
year.
A
Second,
I
want
to
thank
those
who
have
reached
out
to
board
members
in
a
very
constructive
in
constructive
ways.
I
tried
to
reply
to
all
the
Maemo
emails
in
a
timely
manner,
so
please
forgive
me
if
I
missed
any
from
today
when
I
was
at
work.
I
do
want
to
talk
about
how
agenda
items
typically
bought
brought
to
the
board
and
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
do
so
and
typically
items
that
are
brought
to
the
agenda
through
the
are
brought
through
the
Governance
Committee.
A
But
these
times
are
not
typical,
and
this
item
is
time-sensitive.
I
studied
over
the
weekend
meeting
notice
requirements
board
policy,
parliamentary
procedures
to
find
the
proper
method
of
adding
a
topic
of
graduation
ceremonies
and
an
emergency
item
to
tonight's
agenda.
However,
our
plans
have
changed
due
to
some
news
that
we
received
today.
So
I
will
not
ask
for
an
amendment
to
the
agenda
and
we'll
ask
that
superintendent
Gandhi
continues
with
his
report
on
graduation
ceremonies
during
his
regular
agenda
item
and
that
will
give
him
an
opportunity
to
share
that
timeline
of
events.
A
So
we
in
the
community
can
learn
how
he
arrived
at
his
decisions
and
it'll
also
allow
time
for
board
members
to
ask
questions.
So
therefore,
I'm
asking
me
keep
the
agenda
as
it
is
and
hang
tight.
I
wish.
I
could
say
more,
so
we
do
have
an
HR
addendum
in
front
of
us.
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
I
moved.
C
D
E
F
Make
sure
I
don't
touch
anything
so
don't
just
sanitize
afterwards,
so
nice,
seeing
you
guys
all
in
person
as
well.
This
is
definitely
an
interesting
time
for
sure,
as
we've
all
been
experiencing
this
and
this
be
in
the
last
week
of
school.
I
know
it's
extremely
difficult
for
families
and
for
students
and
for
teachers,
as
we
close
up,
classrooms
and
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
mourning
going
on
because
we're
in
the
classroom
seeing
that
last
date
in
March
and
it's
causing
a
lot
of
emotional
trauma
for
our
teachers.
F
So
they're
excited,
there's
lots
of
reverse
parades,
planned
and
lots
of
passing
out
of
materials
and
I.
You
know
really
am
excited
to
hear
the
teachers
and
in
the
closing
and
positive
way,
one
of
the
things
that's
been
really
good.
That's
happened
is
President
Nelson
and
superintendant.
Gandhi
helped
us
do
a
Fe,
a
retirement
video
honoring,
the
over
six
hundred
plus
years
of
dedicated
service
that
we
were
able
to
put
up
to
honor
those
people.
F
They
were
originally
going
to
come
and
help
speak
at
our
big
party,
but
we
had
to
cancel
that
due
to
covent.
So
thank
you.
So
much
for
helping
me
do
that
with
the
PR
committee
I'm,
an
eighth
grade,
Memphis
school
teacher
and
at
the
end
of
them
every
year
school
year,
I
always
say:
hey
there's.
What
would
you
give
as
advice
to
incoming
sixth
graders?
What
are
you
looking
forward
to
as
you
go
to
high
school
and
I
always
say
you
know,
share
these
feelings
and
write
down
your
thoughts.
F
This
has
been
an
interesting
year
in
the
fact
that
they
were
giving
me
so
many
different
answers.
Normally,
it's
stay
away
from
so-and-so
on
the
second
floor
or
don't
run
in
the
halls
this
year.
It
was
be
kind,
be
gracious,
be
courteous,
do
your
work
don't
get
behind.
They
were
just
totally
different,
encouraging
messages
as
they
long
for
their
friendships
and
long
for
the
school
85%
of
my
students
said
they
liked
the
regular
classroom
over
the
distance
learning
things
that
they're
looking
forward
to
high
school,
better
lunches
and
here's
the
big
part.
F
They
absolutely
are
looking
forward
to
all
the
different
opportunities
that
Fargo
Public
Schools
has
to
offer
the
clubs
the
activities,
the
sports,
the
classes,
the
choices.
So
here
in
our
community,
our
students
see
all
of
those
opportunities
and
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
to
have
those
opportunities.
So
just
to
let
you
guys
know
you
guys
are
doing
the
right
path
with
that.
So
thank
you.
A
G
A
H
A
Think
I
think
it's
really
important.
I
want
to
take
the
sovereign
and
I
really
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us,
as
board
members
and
the
community,
to
learn
about
board
processes.
So
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
do
this.
So
when
everybody,
no,
it's
very
unorthodox
for
board
members
to
be
involved
in
operational
decisions,
but
we
occasionally
do
when
the
amount
of
public
feedback
Warren
said.
I
want
everyone
to
know
that
dr.
Gandhi
was
doing
the
job
the
Board
expects
him
to
do.
A
He
is
obligated
to
use
reasonable
interpretation
of
board
policies,
and
he
very
much
has
he
will
explain
some
of
these
board
policies
during
his
presentation
at
least
say.
Thank
you
well
so
when
he
gives
his
presentation
in
overview,
I
would
hope
that
we'd
hold
our
questions
until
he's
complete.
That
seemed
reasonable.
Okay,
thank
you
for
entertaining
me.
G
Okay,
oops
all
right.
Thank
you
all
for
for
being
here,
I
think,
as
president
Nelson
alluded
to
for
my
super,
intense
staff,
update,
I.
Think
I
wanted
to
just
talk
about
graduation
I
think
there
are
several
things
that
fact
that
play
here.
First
and
foremost,
we
understand
the
graduation
is
one
of
the
most
important
milestones
for
all
of
our
seniors,
as
they
finished
their
k-12
careers,
and
we
completely
understand
and
respect
the
sentiment
of
our
parents
and
some
of
the
constituents
that
we've
gotten
feedback
for
for
the
past
several
weeks
or
since
May
15th.
H
G
What
I
wanted
to
do
today
is
just
talk
through
the
series
of
information
that
we've
used
to
make
decisions
where
we
are
today
and
just
talk
through
how
fast
information
changes
as
it
relates
to
kovat
19,
and
why
did
we
make
the
decisions
that
we
did
as
a
district?
So
really
that's
the
purpose
of
this
presentation,
but
just
want
to
say
that
the
purpose
of
today
is
not
to
blame.
Anyone
I
think
like
I've
said
many
times
before.
Distance
learning
is
not
ideal.
G
It
does
not
replicate
or
duplicate
instruction,
and
neither
does
some
of
the
other
restrictions
that
we
have
graduation
ceremony
that
we're
going
to
have
at
the
end
of
this
week.
We're
going
to
do
the
most.
We
can
to
make
it
meaningful,
given
the
restrictions
that
we
have,
but
it
is
never
the
intention
of
any
of
our
staff
and
the
any
individual
to
to
limit
parents
or
say
that
they're,
not
part
of
the
process
or
any
family
members
that
want
to
attend.
G
We
completely
recognize
that,
and
that
is
our
belief,
that
it
does
take
a
whole
village
to
raise
a
child
and
we
have
to
work
under
the
parameters
and
the
restrictions
are
given
to
us.
So
really
just
wanted
to
start
with
that
and
then
talk
through
a
little
bit
of
where
are
we
today
and
how
do
we
get
there
so
on
May
4th
is
when
we
decided
to
provide
our
first
communication
out
to
our
community
regarding
graduation.
G
At
that
point
we
had
no
graduation
guidance
from
dpi
or
the
governor's
office,
and
we
didn't
know
if
information
was
going
to
change,
knew
that
it
could
so
at
what
we
decided
to
do
at
that
point
and
say
that
at
least
to
honor
the
current
graduation
dates.
We
will
host
a
virtual
selim
ceremony
in
May,
and
at
that
time
we
had
scheduled
a
end
of
July
in-person
celebration.
We
included
in
our
communication
the
highlighted
lines.
I
said
if
dpi
or
the
governor
were
to
allow
for
more
robust
in-person
graduation
ceremony.
G
We
would
plan
for
that
option
and
explore
that
option
and
forego
the
July
celebration
well,
like
I
said
before
information
changes
quickly.
So,
two
days
later,
the
governor's
office
and
dpi
releases
graduation
guidelines
that
do
allow
school
districts
across
the
state
of
North
Dakota
to
host
in-person
graduation
ceremonies
in
May.
We
didn't
think
this
was
going
to
be
an
option
two
days
before,
but
we
said
okay
now
that
we
have
that
opportunity.
G
Let's
explore
that
option
and
I
think
one
of
the
questions
that
we
received
is:
why
did
we
change
our
original
plan
of
having
a
virtual
celebration
in
May
and
then
to
a
July
celebration
and
a
physical
celebration
in
July
to
an
in-person
celebration
in
May?
Well,
the
reason
we
changed
is
because
one
we
didn't
know
if
July
was
going
to
have
any
less
restrictions,
still
that
we
don't
know
now
or
it
that
we
were
gonna,
be
able
to
do
more
in
July
or
if
we
weren't.
G
The
second
reason
is
that
we
do
have
students
that
would
miss
out
on
that
Center
ceremony
itself,
because
they're
gonna
be
entering
the
service
and
they
leave
for
basic
training
in
June.
So
at
that
point
we
got
together
and
we
said:
okay,
let's
explore
the
options
of
having
an
in-person
celebration
and
a
ceremony
in
May,
so
the
next
day
on
May
7th.
G
So
please
come
up
with
the
appropriate
graduation
ceremonies,
so
they
they
were
asked
and
given
about
five
days
to
come
up
with
a
plan,
and
we
said
that
we
would
reconvene
on
May
12
on
May
12.
All
the
high
school
principals
shared
their
plans
with
dr.
gross
and
I,
and
these
plans
allowed
for
two
guests
per
graduate
and
they
were
aligned
to
the
North
Dakota
restore
guidance.
G
During
the
same
time
when
our
principals
were
we're
developing
our
plans,
I
was
in
touch
with
West
Fargo
Public
Schools
West
Fargo
Public
Schools
is
partnering
with
essentia
and
we
as
an
organization
traditional
plant
partner
with
Sanford
essentia
at
that
point,
had
and
continues
to
share
with
West
Fargo
public
schools
that
they
strongly
recommended
not
having
any
guests
at
the
graduation
ceremony
that
they
were
already
nervous,
with
the
congregation
of
just
the
amount
of
students
themselves.
So
that
was
a
piece
of
information
that
West
Fargo
had
shared
with
us.
G
At
that
time,
I
told
them
that,
although
we
try
to
be
aligned
as
school
districts
together,
our
decision-making
factor
was
gonna,
be
based
on
the
guidance
and
recommendations
that
we
received
from
both
Sanford
and
from
Fargo
Cass,
Public,
Health,
so
I.
Let
me
reach
out
to
them
and
see
what
they
say
regarding
the
graduation
plans
that
our
principals
created
and
then
we'll
get
back
to
you
so
the
next
day
we
had
shared
our
plans
with
both
agencies.
G
This
was
the
initial
response
that
we
received
from
Sanford,
which,
as
you'll,
see
kind
of
from
that
first
bullet
and
Sanford
had
said
that
their
approval
or
us
moving
forward
with
our
graduation
plans.
They
wanted
to
be
aligned
with
Fargo
Cass
Public
Health
and
make
sure
that
we
have
support
from
them
as
well,
so
Fargo
Cass,
Public
Health
is
on
May
13
to
review
our
plan
and
they
take
a
look
at
and
they
say,
okay,
we'll
give
you
an
email
the
next
morning.
G
We
just
our
recommendations
that
evening
West
Fargo
continue
to
meet
with
essentia,
essentially
continued
to
push
for
not
having
any
guess
at
their
graduation
ceremony.
West
Fargo
public
schools
also
reached
out
to
Fargo
Cass
Public
help
just
to
seek
their
guidance
and
just
to
see
if
there's
another
agency
regarding
plans
that
they
had
developed,
which
are
very
similar
to
ours.
G
The
next
morning
we
received
this
email
from
Fargo
Cass,
Public
Health,
and
you
know
what
I've
bolded
here
are
two
important
things
on
May
14.
They
had
shared
with
us
that,
after
looking
at
our
plans,
which
allowed
for
two
guests
that
we
are
taking
a
more
conservative
approach
with
our
recommendation
for
ceremonies
and
hosting
large
gatherings
later,
they
also
say
that
we
strongly
encourage
you
to
continue
to
explore
all
of
your
options,
whether
it's
a
virtual
ceremony,
a
staggered
ceremony
to
lessen
group
gatherings
or
to
do
drive-through,
graduation
ceremonies.
G
G
Initially
we
didn't
consider
this
and
we
didn't
consider
this
for
three
reasons.
One
is,
as
I'll
show
on
the
next
slide:
DPI
guidance
that
was
released
at
the
time
shared
that
multiple
ceremonies
in
the
same
site
was
a
higher
risk
than
doing
an
outdoor
field,
sterile
celebration,
which
is
what
we
had
originally
shared
in
our
plans
with
them.
G
Secondly,
I
had
made
the
assumption
that,
if
students
are
split
up
into
multiple
ceremonies,
they
won't
be
able
to
be
with
all
of
their
classmates,
because
they'll
be
split
up,
whether
it's
alphabetically
in
two
groups
of
two
or
three
ceremonies,
and
that's
not
something
that
they
would
want
to
do.
And
lastly,
part
of
our
requirements
in
terms
of
the
plans
that
were
developed
according
to
the
DPI
guidelines
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
weather
contingency
plans
in
place.
G
One
of
the
biggest
pieces
of
advice
that
we've
gotten
from
our
health
care
providers
is
that
the
level
of
risk
and
threat,
when
you
have
large
groups
with
resulting
from
Kovac
19
changes
significantly
when
you
go
from
outdoors
to
indoors.
So,
when
we're
doing
an
outdoor
ceremony,
we
want
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
keep
pushing
the
ceremony
back
whether
it's
one
hours
or
two
hours
have
that
flexibility
with
the
start.
G
Time
has
contingencies
for
inclement
weather
before
we
have
to
do
a
completely
virtual
or
indoor
ceremony,
which
would
be
extremely
limited
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
group
gatherings
indoors
at
all.
So
those
are
really
the
three
reasons
at
that
time
why
we
didn't
explore
having
a
staggered
ceremony
with
with
multiple
people.
G
So
this
was
the
advice.
This
was
a
guidance
from
dpi
that
originally
allowed
me
to
pass
on
doing
staggered
ceremonies
and,
as
you
can
see,
this
is
from
the
DPI
graduation
guidance,
which
says
that
an
outdoor
field,
graduation,
the
way
I
interpret
this
is,
is
less
of
a
risk
than
multiple
ceremonies,
which
would
be
that
staggered
ceremony
approach.
G
As
you
all
know,
and
I
know,
we
began
to
receive
feedback
and
there's,
including
a
parent
petition
about
changing
graduation
ceremonies
or
to
be
able
to
allow
parents
that
opportunity
to
participate
given
some
of
the
feedback
and
looking
at
some
of
the
information
that
was
shared
with
us
about
mixed
messages
or
different
agencies,
saying
that
this
is
feasible
and
the
level
of
thread
is
not
there.
I
reached
out
to
both
Cass
public
health
and
Sanford
on
May,
19th
and
just
said
hey.
This
is
some
of
the
information
our
community's
getting.
G
We
know
our
parents
are
rightfully
upset
as
I
would
too,
as
a
parent
not
having
that
opportunity
to
be
there.
Is
there
something
we
can
do?
There's
some
information
that
we're
getting
that
people
are
looking
at?
The
level
of
risk
differently
can
you
revisit
our
plans
at
that
time?
Cass
public
health
continued
to
tell
us
that
follow
the
large
group
guidance
stick
to
around
250
people,
so
they've
never
told
us
not
to
have
guests,
but
they
have
said.
G
We
want
you
to
stick
to
this
guidance
around
250
people,
which
means
one
ceremony
without
guests,
or
it
means
multiple
ceremonies
just
with
our
class
sizes,
we're
already
exceeding
250
people,
and
they
understood
that.
But
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
when
you're
going
up
to
potentially
300
to
320
people
versus
a
graduation
ceremony.
When
we
have
two
guests,
each
we're
gonna
have
north
of
a
thousand
people,
so
that's
really
kind
of
where
some
of
this
decision-making
was.
G
I
didn't
hear
it,
but
it
was
reported
that
Governor
burgum
said
that
that
was
his
personal
preference
as
well
and
then,
on
that
same
day,
there
was
also
a
news
report
from
a
graduation
ceremony
in
Minnesota,
where
one
of
the
stage
workers
that
was
helping
with
the
ceremony
did
test
positive
for
Kovac
19
and
that
traced
back
to
the
graduation
ceremony
as
well.
So
just
a
lot
of
different
pieces
of
information
that
we're
sharing
with.
G
At
that
time,
I
had
reached
out
to
Mayor,
Mahoney
and
just
said,
I
appreciate
your
personal
preference,
but
I'd
reminded
of
them
of
the
DPI
guidance
of
what,
from
what
I've
seen
earlier,
that
the
multiple
ceremonies
was
really
going
to
be
a
higher
level
of
risk
than
the
original
plan
that
we
had
said
what
he
shared
with
me
at.
That
time
is
that
Fargo
Cass
had
said,
based
on
new
information
that
they
have
received.
They
think
that
if
you're
doing
it,
outdoors,
multiple
ceremonies
is
as
safe
as
the
original
plan
that
we
had
had.
G
So
this
is
kind
of
going
back
to
this
chart.
What
I'm
saying
earlier
two
weeks
ago,
or
around
May
14th
and
May
15th
as
you'll,
see
in
this
chart?
Multiple
ceremonies
is
a
higher
level
risk
than
an
outdoor
field.
Graduation,
which
was
our
original
proposal
with
two
guests:
according
to
Fargo
Cass,
Public,
Health
and
Mayor
Mahoney
on
May
22nd,
because
of
updated
guidance
from
CDC
on
May
20th.
G
This
is
no
longer
a
higher
level
of
risk
and
both
of
these
are
on
par,
assuming
that
the
multiple
ceremonies
are
happening
outdoors.
So
with
that
additional
piece
of
information
and
given
the
feedback
that
we
were
receiving,
that,
maybe
students
do
rather
have
guests
there
than
have.
Maybe
they
prefer
that
than
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
graduate
while
their
classmates.
We
decided
to
send
that
survey.
G
G
If
we
were
allowing
guests
so
we
have
to
be
able
to
move
quickly
and
that's
why
we'd
put
a
24
hour
time
frame
on
that
survey,
so
we
emailed
the
students
last
Friday
on
May
22nd,
just
a
simple
question
of
currently
our
restrictions,
artistic
as
close
as
possible
to
the
250
guests
limit.
We
know
we're
gonna
exceed
that
a
little
bit,
but
if
that's
the
restriction
that
we're
making
our
decisions
based
off
of,
would
you
prefer
one
ceremony
with
all
of
your
classmates
or
would
you
prefer
multiple
ceremonies
with
with
allowing
two
guests
each?
G
It
is
never
our
goal
to
pin
students
against
their
parents,
but
that
is
just
the
reality
of
the
information
that
we're
dealing
with
and
the
basis
of
how
we're
making
the
decision.
So
we
thought
it
was
important
to
get
the
student's
perspective
and
be
able
to
share
that
data
and
make
decisions
accordingly
throughout
all
of
this,
I
just
want
express
my
gratitude
to
all
of
our
high
school
principals
that
continue
to
be
flexible
and
nimble.
G
So
the
survey
closed
on
Saturday
at
4
o'clock.
We
we
had
429
responses
out
of
about
a
650
seniors
that
we
have
in
our
school
district.
77
percent
of
them
said
that
they
want
given
those
two
choices.
They
would
like
to
stick
with
one
graduation,
sir
monie
versus
having
multiple
ceremonies
if
we're
still
trying
to
stick
to
stick
to
the
guidance
of
250
people
for
a
large
gathering,
which
was
a
recommendation
from
Fargo
Cass
Public
Health.
At
the
time.
G
This
was
the
breakdown
of
the
data
from
spy
school,
so
all
very
similar
from
that
70
to
80
percent
range
in
favor
of
current
plan
1.
And
it
is
true
that
if
you
look
at
the
survey
plan,
one
allows
you
to
keep
pushing
things
back,
because
it's
one
ceremony
so
like
I,
said
before
you
can
change
the
start
time
back
where,
as
planned
to
you,
have
to
more
immediately.
G
If
there's
a
rain
contingency
switch
to
a
virtual
option
that
that's
not
a
threat,
but
that's
a
reality
of
not
having
the
ability
to
keep
pushing
the
ceremony
back
when
you
have
back
to
back
ceremony
scheduled
and
you
have
to
sanitize
in
between
as
well.
So
those
are
the
those
are
the
pieces
of
information
that
we
provided
to
the
students.
G
Yesterday,
during
Memorial,
Day
I
was
contacted
with
our
student
council
presidents
from
from
Davies
South
and
North
High
School.
All
these
students
are
individuals,
I've
worked
with
before
our
superintendent,
students,
cabinet
and
and
really
just
had
a
fantastic
conversation,
and
you
know
what
one
of
the
things
that
they
shared
with
us
is
that
they've
been
doing
some
of
their
own
work
and
researching
not
only
potential
graduation
plans,
but
they've
reached
out
to
a
professor
NDSU
that
has
a
master's
in
infectious
diseases
and
based
on
his
recommendation.
G
They
felt
like
they
had
a
plan
that
would
allow
for
a
graduation
ceremony
to
work
with
to
guess
each
and
it
would
still
be
one
ceremony
well.
First
off
I
was
just
absolutely
blown
away
by
our
students
and
their
initiative.
My
recommendation
to
them
at
that
point
was
going
back
to
we
are
making
our
decision
based
off
some
of
the
guidance
that
we
received
from
Fargo
Cass,
Public,
Health
and
I
know
that
they're
basing
that
off
of
the
large
group
gathering
guidance
from
dpi
of
250
individuals.
So
very
politely
the
students
asked.
G
Can
we
reach
out
to
Fargo
Cass,
Public
Health
and
say
why
are
we
getting
mixed
messages
or
different
pieces
of
information
from
maybe
a
professor
at
NDSU
versus
kind
of
what?
How
they're,
assessing
the
level
of
risk
and
threat
and
my
advice
to
the
students
at
the
time
was
seek
to
understand
but
don't
seek
to
advocate?
You
know
it's
not
our
position
to
go
against
a
public
health
agency.
That's
working
tirelessly
run
Cove
in
nineteen,
but
let's
just
gain
some
understanding
of
where
their
position
is
so
they
reached
out.
G
They
shared
their
plans,
which
are
very
similar
to
the
original
plans
that
we
had
already
developed
for
our
graduation
ceremonies.
Today,
Fargo
Cass,
Public
Health
responded
to
the
students
and
to
myself
and
also
contacted
West
Fargo,
Public,
Schools
and
I
know.
This
is
a
lot
in
their
response,
so
I'm
going
to
kind
of
break
down
what
was
the
bolded
and
most
important
piece
of
information,
Fargo
Cass
Public
Health
said
with
us
as
of
about
2:30
or
3
o'clock.
G
Today
that
when
we
were
originally
contacted,
we
stated
that
the
scenarios
that
were
presented
to
us
and
they're
using
the
school
board
that
really
was
myself
that
had
been
in
touch
with
them
met
the
DPI
guidance,
but
they
had
at
that
time
concerns
with
gathering
sizes
based
off
of
the
state
and
they
wanted
to
stick
with
that.
250
individuals.
G
But
we
should
be
able
to
move
forward
now
with
the
blessing
of
fargo-cass
public
health
to
have
a
ceremony
that
allows
for
two
guests
per
graduate
and
only
have
one
ceremony
where
all
of
our
students
can
graduate
together.
I
end
with
just
this,
because
I
know
that
President
Nelson
kind
of
alluded
to
this
earlier
as
well.
That
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
recently
about
my
role
as
a
superintendent.
G
Should
the
board
directed
me
to
change
my
original
position
had
fargo-cass
public
health
not
changed
it,
and
obviously
the
board
does
have
the
right
to
to
direct
the
superintendent
I.
Am
your
employee
and
I
completely
understand
that,
but
I
do
wanted
to
share
my
concerns
with
with
had
we
gone
down
that
road
as
well.
G
If
we
had
gone
against
the
advice
of
our
community,
public
health
advisor
I
do
feel
like
I
was
in
a
violation
of
both
el3
and
el9,
and
that
is
a
genesis
behind
the
decisions
I
make
and
how
I
believe
the
superintendent
has
a
right
to
make
those
decisions.
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
about
graduation
where
we
are
and
our
next
steps,
I'm
moving
forward.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
say
a
little
bit
of
something
before
because
I
assume
that
you
might
have
some
questions
for
dr.
Gandhi
and
clarifying,
but
I
want
to
share
an
analogy
for
everyone's
consideration.
So
y'all
know
I,
run
a
non-profit
and
I
answer
to
a
board
for
the
nonprofit
organization
that
I
lead
just
like
rupak
answers
to
us
as
board
members.
If
I
were
to
willfully,
ignore
the
guidance
given
to
me
from
a
public
health.
A
Official
I
would
be
looking
for
another
job
and
if
my
board,
forced
me
to
willfully,
ignore
the
advice
and
guidance
from
public
health,
official
I
would
be
looking
for
another
job,
because
I
wouldn't
work
for
a
board
like
that.
So
I
want
I
want
to
share
that
analogy,
because
that's
the
position
that
rule
pock
is
in
and
when
it's
much
more
difficult
to
for
somebody
who's
charged
with
making
decisions
that
affect
others
in
their
care.
A
And
so
that's
why
I
was
very
supportive
of
his
guidance.
All
the
way
through
this,
and
so
I
I
felt
compelled
to
share
that
and
I
am
very
supportive
of
what
you've
done
so
far
and
I
am
supportive
of
your
announcement
today.
So
are
there
any
questions
from
the
floor
at
this
point
for
dr.
Gandhi
I
would.
B
H
I
Also
agree
with
that
as
well.
I
think
it's
really
really
hard.
When
you
hear
a
mayor
and
a
governor
say
something
completely
different
than
what
you
want
to
hear,
because
I
was
completely
shocked
when
you
know
I
had
actually
reached
out
to
Mahoney
myself
and
messaged
him
about
it
and
it
just.
It
was
just
a
different
analogy
than
when
I
expected
to
get
from
him
and
then
the
report
also
too
on
the
Jay
Thomas
show
that
was
shared
as
well.
I
It
was
just
I,
don't
know,
I
support,
you
and
I
know
it's
hard
because
every
single
day,
there's
coalbed
stuff
changes,
no
matter
what
it
is
and
it's
gonna
be
a
decision
all
the
way
through
until
we
get
through
this.
If
there's
gonna
be
tough
decisions
every
single
day
that
everybody
has
to
face,
whether
you
go
back
to
work,
whether
you
bring
the
students
when
you
bring
clients
in
your
office,
it's
going
to
be
absolutely
a
mess
until
everything
is
figured
out
and
we
actually
can
do
something.
So
thank
you.
A
G
We
are,
we
understand
that
they're
students
and
families
that
rightfully
so
that
might
choose
not
to
participate.
We
are
working
with
we've,
we've
hired
out
a
production
company
to
make
sure
that
we
can
provide
the
best
live
stream
experience
for
all
of
our
graduation
ceremonies.
That's
going
to
continue
I
appreciate
the
kind
of
words
really
that
the
credit
goes
to
goes
to
our
staff
and
our
students,
their
ability
to
stay
nimble,
flexible,
adaptable
and
understanding.
A
J
Dr.
Gandhi,
thank
you.
My
wife
also
thanks
you
for
running
this
operation
this
last
month
and
it's
really
the
whole
year
for
me
and
my
family
we've
come
to
trust
you
and
your
decisions.
We
know
that
you
have
the
best
interests
of
our
children
at
home.
I
get
that
and
I
see
that
every
day
and
I
get
it
I
get
to
see
it
even
more
so
than
the
outside
public,
because
I
get
to
be
in
meetings
all
the
time.
So
you
you
alluded
eight
to
your
staff.
I
agree.
J
It
takes
a
staff,
a
big
staff
to
get
along
together,
but
somebody's
got
to
be
leading
that
and
as
well,
and
you
guys
working
with
the
public
officials
doing
what's
best
for
these
seniors,
our
communities.
We
also
have
a
nephew,
that's
graduating
in
West,
Fargo
and
I,
reached
out
to
dr.
as
well
thanking
her
that
you
guys
are
keeping
our
kids
safe,
not
to
mention
that
you're
also
trying
to
keep
the
other
students
safe.
So
maybe
we
can
start
this
fall.
J
K
Maybe
you'll
be
going
all
the
way
around
the
room
with
comments
tonight,
but
I
think
that
that,
if
that's
the
case,
that's
appropriate
wow.
We
have
we've
really
kind
of
come
full
circle
here.
Haven't
we
I
hope
that,
as
a
result
of
the
information
that
you've
given
us,
there
can
be
some
happier
feelings.
K
So
I
hope
that
we,
we
all
consider
ourselves
very
fortunate
to
be
in
this
position
right
now,
even
though
it's
still
more
limited
than
what
we'd
all
like
it
to
be
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
I
had
a
motion
that
I
had
prepared
for
this
evening.
It
wasn't
necessarily
I
guess
it
wasn't
necessary
as
a
result,
but
we
knew
that
this
might
come
up
this
evening
for
an
addition
to
the
agenda.
K
So
the
way
I
wrote
this
and,
of
course
it's
not
emotion,
but
this
is
the
way
I
wrote
it.
The
Fargo
Board
of
Education
supports
dr.
Gandhi
and
the
development
of
the
graduation
plans
for
the
class
of
2020,
as
they
currently
stand
now.
I
believe
those
have
been
revised
and
now,
when
they've
been
updated,
I
believe
my
words
that
I
crafted
earlier
today
are
still
appropriate.
K
The
superintendent
has
studied
the
guidelines
set
forth
regarding
graduation
ceremonies
laid
out
by
the
governor's
office,
as
well
as
the
North
Dakota
Department
of
Public
Instruction.
Dr.
Gandhi
has
interpreted
the
executive
limitations,
policies,
el3
and
el9,
given
to
him
by
the
board
appropriately
both
policies
and
essence
require
the
superintendent
to
not
knowingly
put
parents,
students
and
the
public
at
risk.
K
K
We
therefore
agree
that
it
is
appropriate
for
the
superintendent
to
look
to
the
district's
leading
health
agencies,
Sanford
Sanford
in
Fargo,
Cass,
Public
Health
for
their
guidance
in
the
development
and
support
of
the
district
plans
to
provide
graduations
here,
how
many
opportunities
for
the
2020
graduates
of
Fargo
public
schools
during
this
unprecedented
time
of
a
global
pandemic,
and
that
we
extend
our
congratulations
to
all
graduates
of
Fargo
public
schools
and
wish
all
of
them
the
best
in
their
future
endeavors.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
work.
A
C
It
is
the
job
of
the
board
to
hire
the
superintendent
high-rez
opportunity
that
is
ready
to
lead
in
a
crisis
and
I
very
much
believe
that
our
superintendent
has
done
that,
and
so.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
only
also
ask
that
our
students
and
our
families,
our
community,
continue
to
be
safe
during
the
ceremony
and
afterwards
and,
let's
all,
come
out
of
this
healthy
and
safe
sooner
than
later.
Thank
you.
Thank.

What
could
we
do
to
further
engage
our
public
within
the
conversation
to
help
them
understand
what
has
all
gone
in
to
those
decisions
and
those
factors,
because
I
really
believe
that
the
more
that
we
can
do
that,
the
more
we
are
being
transparent
and
the
more
that
is
understood
and
the
more
questions
that
people
feel
are
answered.
I
think
the
better
in
terms
of
acceptance,
and
so,
if
somehow,
along
the
way,
when
decisions
like
this
are
happening,
we
can
find
a
way
to
proactively
share
them
with
our
community.
A
And
I
would
say
before
rupak
answers,
because
that
was
going
to
be
one
of
my
questions.
Can
you
play
out
host:what
look
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
Jennifer
and
really
there
wouldn't
have
been
it
wouldn't
have
been
necessary
for
Rupa
to
give
his
timeline
and
today.
But
this
was
a
great
opportunity
for
the
public
to
understand
everything.
That's
been
considered
that
doesn't
come
to
the
public
level.
So
I
completely
agree
with
you.
So
will
you
explain
to
us
how
this
will
look
at
graduation
ceremony.
G
We
are
gonna,
say,
masks
are
required
for
for
all
attendees
and
obviously
everyone's
gonna
be
spaced
out.
Our
original
plans
require
the
utilization
of
our
football
fields
that
are
three
comprehensive,
high
schools
and
the
parking
lot
at
Agassiz
for
Woodrow
Wilson.
Since
this
information
was
just
shared
earlier
late
this
afternoon
our
secondary
principals
are
putting
together
some
plans,
so
I'm
gonna
say
look
out
for
information
from
them.
G
What
looks
what's
happening
at
North
might
look
a
little
bit
different
than
what's
happening
at
South
and
what's
a
little
bit
different
at
Davies,
our
numbers
are
a
little
bit
different.
Our
facilities
are
a
little
bit
different,
so
it
is
going
to
be
very
structured.
We
are
going
to
adhere
to
all
of
the
social
distancing
requirement.
I
think
there
were
a
couple
of
contingencies,
are
a
couple
of
pieces
of
advice
from
Fargo,
Cass,
Public,
Health
and
I.
Think
I
just
want
to
clarify
with
the
one
thing
today.
G
It
seems
like
this
is
a
very
therapeutic
motion
or
a
moment,
because
we
are
able
to
bring
parents
to
our
graduation
ceremony.
You
know
it's
not
a
matter
of
coming
full
circle
and
I
completely
understand
the
emotional
how
emotional
of
a
decision
this
is,
but
this
decision
isn't
based
off
of
the
emotions.
It's
based
off
of
the
guidance
from
Fargo
Cass
Public
Health.
If
things
change
in
the
next
two
days-
and
we
have
to
stick
with
that
guidance,
I
know
right
now.
G
So
it's
not
a
one
fail
swoop,
but
right
now
we've
been
told
that
that
we
can
move
forward
with
this
ceremony
and
in
practicing
the
social
distancing
requirements
that
they've
asked
us
to
do
so.
Mass
will
be
required
will
be
very
structured,
and
further
information
will
be
coming
from
from
each
of
the
buildings.
Independently
is.
G
Are
working
on
that?
You
know
the
concern
from
Fargo
Cass
Public
Health
was
that
we
have
a
strong
plan
B
because
they
absolutely
do
not
recommend
us
having
groups
of
that
size
indoors.
So
our
rain
contingency
plan
might
be
a
virtual
celebration,
but
we're
gonna
look
at
seeing
what
does
that?
Look
like
okay,.
M
As
all
of
the
board,
members
have
I've
received
a
lot
of
emails
this
week,
and
most
of
them
have
been
directed
at
Hawaii.
The
board
hasn't
become
involved
in
this
decision.
I
think
it's
important
that
that
our
patrons
understand
the
governing
style
of
this
board.
We
hire
a
superintendent
to
manage
the
district,
and
we
monitor
him
or
very
very
closely
to
assure
that
they're
there
living
up
to
the
guidelines
that
we
have
given.
M
We
don't
micromanage
all
of
the
decisions
that
are
made
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
classic
example
of
the
superintendent
utilizing
the
people
at
his
resources
and
the
resources
of
Cass
County,
Public,
Health
and
Sanford
to
make
the
decision
that
that
he
considers
the
wisest
and
and
the
board
is
in
support
of
that.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
I
have
serious
reservations
about
these
gatherings.
M
D
Pretty
sure
somebody
one
of
our
students,
one
of
our
parents,
one
of
us
could
be
me
right
now,
prime
probably
is
with
coca
at
19.
So
hopefully
we'll
come
out
of
this
with
not
a
spike
in
cases,
but
excuse
me,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it's
the
right
decision
based
upon
the
guidance
were
getting
from
public
health.
A
G
Whatever
they
decide,
I
know
everyone
has
what's
best
for
their
kids
and
their
families
in
mind
and
again,
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
our
students
and
to
to
our
building
level
administrators
and
our
staff,
our
teachers
and
everyone
else
that
they're
gonna
be
willing
to
even
participate
and
I'll
help.
Make
sure
that
this
graduation
ceremony
goes
off
to
be
the
best
experience
it
can
be
for
our
seniors.
The.
A
H
A
Opposed
no
okay
motion
carries.
We
are
going
into
a
fairly
meaty
business.
Section
was
with
the
board
like
to
continue,
or
would
you
like
a
restroom
break
speed
it
up?
Okay,
so
item
5a
on
the
agenda
is
Fargo
Public
Schools
district
office
memo
1
number
112,
dr.
Gandhi.
Would
you
like
to
make
introductions
sure.
G
Earlier
last
year
we
were
approached
by
our
do
regarding
the
potential
listing
of
their
building,
which
is
located
right
next
to
Hawthorne
elementary
school.
Our
do
is
moving
in
to
block
9
the
building,
that's
being
built
downtown,
so
their
office
space
is
potentially
gonna,
be
listed
down
the
road-
and
there
was
just
a
general
conversation
at
the
board
planning
committee
about-
would
that
be
a
potential
fit
for
the
district?
Is
that
something
that
would
be
interested
in
for
a
variety
of
reasons?
G
It
can
seriously
look
at
so
our
director
of
maintenance
and
operations
Blake
did
three
analyses.
Those
are
what's
provided
with
you
in
your
board
packet.
One
is
an
analysis
of
our
current
district
office
limitations,
challenges
potential
work
that
we
would
have
to
put
in
to
keep
up
with
this
building,
and
what
we
need
to
do.
H
N
Now,
a
couple
weeks
ago,
we
were
charged
with
giving
it
an
assessment
of
this
building,
the
RDO
building
and
the
Agassiz
building,
as
basically
just
a
factual
here's,
what
it
is
as
it
stands
now,
I
did
take
our
team
over
there
from
the
means
of
maintenance
and
operations
department
went
through
it.
This
building,
we
went
through
the
RDO
building
and
through
Agassiz
to
basically
just
give
you
the
here's,
the
pluses,
the
minuses,
here's
the
amount
that
we're
gonna
have
to
spend
the
next
couple
of
years.
N
Here's
everything
as
a
package,
because
this
it's
in
looking
at
this
as
a
whole,
it
makes
sense,
but
in
looking
at
it
individually,
it's
kind
of
one
of
those
things.
If
well,
what
does
this
work
without
doing
this?
Does
that
work
without
doing
that,
so
we
just
kind
of
put
it
together
as
a
package.
Our
current
district
office
right
now
has.
N
Thirty,
five
thousand
and
twenty
square
feet
twenty
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty-five
of
that
is
usable
square
feet.
When
I
say
that
I
mean
it's
all
the
usable
square
feet
we
have
as
offices
where
you're
sitting
right
now
over
there
in
the
dir
and
in
the
Credit
Union,
the
rest
of
space
is
warehouse
space,
it's
not
usable,
except
for
warehouse
space.
N
N
Kind
of
a
high-level
summary
of
this
building
is
that
we
reached
capacity
at
this
building.
There
is
nowhere
else
to
go,
there's
no
renovations.
We
can
do
to
create
more
space,
there's.
No
addition
we
can
do
because
we're
landlocked
we
have
railroad
currently
over
here.
Back
behind
us,
we
have
some
property-
that's
owned
by
another
part,
but
another
entity
in
town.
So
we
really
don't
have
anywhere
go
here.
N
This
building
has
one
smaller
rooftop
that
it
was
a
place
last
year
is
the
last
year
the
year
before
year,
before
the
larger
10-ton
unit
would
need
to
be
replaced
next
year
at
a
cost
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
boilers
are
in
good
condition
here.
For
the
Aged
and
are
well
maintained,
considering
the
vintage-
and
that's
just
that
goes
to
our
team,
the
mainus
and
operations
team
itself,
as
far
as
how
well
they
take
care
of
the
buildings.
N
Plumbing
plumbing
in
this
building
here
is
in
good
condition.
There
is
no
major
issues,
but
there
has
not
been
a
major
upgrade
to
the
plumbing
in
this
building.
In
many
years,
electrical
systems
are
in
good
working
condition.
Building
automation
is
actually
working
very
well
in
this
building.
We
do
have
a
Siemens
system
in
here,
and
it
is
controlled
remotely
security.
We
do
have
an
upgraded
security
system
which
is
monitored
remotely.
We
have
a
CCTV
security
system
that
is
digital
and
upgraded
card
access
systems
are
upgraded
and
functioning
normally
elevators.
N
N
N
Parking
lots
right
now.
Currently
we
lease
space
across
the
street
here
for
sixteen
thousand
a
year
for
our
parking
for
additional
parking
for
us.
We
have
fifty
available
spaces
right
here
currently
for
our
building,
and
if
you
look
at
this
picture
right
here,
you
can
see
our
parking.
We
have
the
parking
that's
in
the
front
of
the
building.
We
have
parking
here
that
we
do
lease
and
then
we
also
have
parking
back
behind
the
building
and
to
the
side,
which
is
an
ideal,
because
that
is
the
drive
up
for
the
credit
union.
N
Back
behind
our
building
that
parking
lot,
that
area
is
going
to
have
to
be
replaced
soon,
the
next
probably
two
to
three
years
as
you
can
see
it
is
crumbling.
There
are
some
issues
there
as
far
as
elevations
and-
and
things
like
that,
so
we'll
have
to
end
up
dealing
with
that
in
the
next
two
to
three
years.
N
The
building
exterior
shell
is
in
decent
condition.
You
can
see
some
of
the
structural
issues
as
far
as
the
the
joints
that
have
been
added
on
to
over
the
years.
The
stretch
there
are
structural
cracks
at
the
base
towards
the
back
of
the
building.
There
will
eventually
require
attention.
What
that
means
is
we
there
have
to
do
something
as
far
as
structurally
or
we'll
have
to
do
something
as
far
as
a
replacement
of
walls
or
something
that
effect.
N
This
has
led
to
a
lot
of
our
issues
of
maintaining
temperature
in
the
building
those
kind
of
things.
So
we
have
to
look
at
replacing
those.
Now
that's
about
a
4,500
to
5,000
dollar
fixed
to
be
able
to
replace
out
our
windows
upstairs
the
building
is
showing
age.
Painting
would
be
required
in
the
next
one
to
two
years,
just
to
maintain
that
the
the
Christmas
crispness
to
it,
but
that's
what
it
causes
that
moisture
look
with
the
windows.
So
when
you
look
at
our
windows
upstairs
you
will
see
it.
N
It
looks
like
they
haven't
been
cleaned,
but
it's
just
because
the
fact
they've
lost
their
seals
carpet
is
relatively
new
and
in
most
areas
heat
and
the
VCT
tile
as
well
the
kitchen
in
Laura
back
hallways,
so
they're,
good
condition,
they've
been
properly
maintained.
Lighting
fixtures
are
outdated,
multi-bulb
4
by
2
grid
style
and
contain
low
level
fluorescent
bulbs.
Recommendation
will
be
to
replace
all
those
with
LEDs,
but
that's
going
to
that
would
be
a
substantial
cost.
N
The
building
floor
plan
was
literally
made
for
a
warehouse
which,
as
you
can
see
in
here
with
the
pillars,
that's
kind
of
the
style
of
what
it
was
at
that
point
when
it
was
remodeled,
so
did
the
best
thing
that
has
been
done.
This
building
is
the
use
of
space
that
is
here
available,
but
unfortunately
we're
out
of
that
space
currently.
N
Furniture
I'll
just
kind
of
give
you
a
brief
of
that.
A
lot
of
the
furniture
is
older,
some
of
its
not
made
anymore.
Some
of
it
is
so
replacing
some
of
it
out.
It
would
be
difficult.
The
panels
up
there
do
need
to
be
cleaned,
but
that's
a
twenty
to
thirty
thousand
dollar
hit
to
be
able
to
clean
those
file.
N
Cabinets
aren't
are
put,
aren't,
put
away,
they're
out
in
the
middle,
so
space
is
a
premium
up
there,
but
the
furniture
is
in
decent
shape,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
show
you
some
of
the
differences
in
the
fur
shoures
they're
the
styles
and
the
things
that
people
have
done
brought
in
their
own
furniture,
those
kind
of
things
they're
just
pieced,
together
stuff
from
other
schools,
so
I
just
wanted.
You
see
that
the
bottom
picture
there
is
just
to
show
you
the
light
level
in
the
cubicles
itself.
N
N
The
roof
is
in
relatively
good
condition,
with
many
years
left
before.
We're
gonna
have
to
replace
that
out.
So
that's
not
something
that
we're
worried
about.
Currently
we're
not
seeing
leaks,
we're
not
seeing
issues
utilities
as
I
had
found
out
during
the
reported
time
of
7
of
2018
through
7
of
2019
over
58,000
213
a
year
for
this
building,
the
RTO
building,
you
told
a
utility
and
gas
and
electric
134,000
for
roughly
the
same
time
period
as
far
as
a
one-year
total,
so
134
490.
It
was
a
total
for
our
do.
N
What
we
found
out
is
they
do
have
a
building
automation
system
over
there,
which
isn't
being
utilized.
So
a
lot
of
that
is
why
they
don't
have
a
significant
savings
in
their
utilities
right
now,
because
that
building
automation
system
isn't
being
fully
utilized,
they
are
in
the
same
flood
zone
as
we
are
here.
They
do
not
lease
out
they
don't
they
don't
lease
out
space
at
the
are
do,
but
we
do
to
the
federal
Fargo
Public
Schools
Federal
Credit
Union
for
350
a
month
now.
M
N
Elevations
for
one
because
of
where
it
sits
with
the
flood
elevations.
As
far
as
the
ramps
that
have
installed
a
current
concrete
ramps,
there
isn't
the
right
sizing
back
there
to
be
able
to
add
in
floor
space
or
be
able
to
do
any
sort
of
major
overhaul
to
it
to
be
able
to
do
that.
It
isn't
conducive
to
it.
At
this
point,
I
wouldn't
recommend
it.
If
we
were
going
to
ask
me
if
it
should
be
go
ahead
and
renovate
that
back
area
I
wouldn't
recommend
it
at
all,.
L
Jennifer,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
The
square
footage
is
noted
in
here
in
terms
of
the
difference
in
availability,
but
how
will
many
employees
are
currently
housed
here?
I
know
that
you
mentioned
the
credit
union
and
the
monthly
rent,
but
how
many
programs,
or
how
many
departments
I
should
say
really?
Are
we
looking
to
relocate?
Where
are
we
outgrowing
I.
O
N
And
here's
the
thing
that
we
thought
of
when
we
were
looking
at
this
as
a
as
a
whole
as
a
three
prong
approach,
we
were
looking
at
okay,
who
do
we
need
to
pull
out
of
those
schools
to
bring
to?
Let's
say
we
were
to
go
the
RDO?
Who
would
he
pull
out
of
the
schools
at
that
point,
to
be
able
to
make
more
space
at
the
schools
to
be
able
to
accommodate?
N
If,
if
the
boundary
changes
happen
or
whatever
happens
there,
how
would
we
accommodate
the
more
students
at
certain
areas
and
what
would
we
do
with
Agassiz
and
Woodrow?
What
would
we
do
with
adult
education,
those
kind
of
things?
If
we're
going
to
look
at
that
and
Agassiz
down
the
road,
we
have
to
look
at
who's,
going
to
be
able
to
be
pulled
out
of
the
schools
or
who's
gonna,
be
able
to
go
from
here
or
pulled
out
of
Agassiz.
N
Now
it's
kind
of
look
that
as
a
whole
is
how
many
people
are
gonna
have
to
go
over
there
right
now,
there's
179
parking
spaces
over
there.
They
can
house
200
people,
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
looking
at
is
out
of
that
hundred
or
so
that
are
here.
How
many
more
would
be
able
to
pull
out
to
be
able
to
create
space
elsewhere.
It's
kind
of
a
roundabout
whole
thing
here.
As
far
as
what
we're
looking
at
for
creating
space.
N
You
know
if
we
were
looking
at
Indian
education
at
Agassiz
or
whoever
else
to
be
able
to
pull
out
of
there.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
space
for
Fargo
public
schools
first
and
then
we
would
look
at
who
else
would
be
able
to
start
in
a
timely
process
and
a
timeline
to
be
able
to
pull
out
of
the
other
places
to
be
able
to
may
have.
It
makes
sense
in
the
schools
for
Agassiz,
for
here
and
and
going
forward
for
the
next
ten
years.
A
G
So
what
I'm
going
to
show
I
think
I
think
your
question
space
right,
so
space
is
I,
think
what
you're
alluding
to
it's
kind
of
South,
High,
School
or
where
north
are
Ben,
Franklin.
Well,
so
I
think
the
philosophy
here
and
and
I
want
to
be
very
careful
as
I
say
this,
because
we're
talking
about
a
longer
term
vision.
None
of
this
happens
unless
there
is
step
for
a
board
action.
So
there's
no
guarantee
in
terms
of
these
are
conversations
that
were
bring
to
the
board.
G
But
the
vision
is
that
if
we
were
able
to
have
a
larger
district
office,
we
would
actually
pull
out
non
teaching
non
student-centered
staff
office
staff
that
we
currently
do
have
sitting
at,
for
example,
a
South
High
School,
because
we
would
be
able
to
put
then
whether
there's
three
programs
from
Agassiz
that
we
need
to
locate
down
the
road.
If
we
were
to
move
for
this
direction
of
decommissioning
agassiz
one
is
ECSC,
one
is
our
Adult
Ed
program
and
then
one
is
Woodrow
Wilson
High
School,
none
of
those
right.
Now
we
don't
have
any
space.
G
I
can
just
house
just
those
programs
in
itself.
So
we
would
have
to
move,
maybe
some
of
the
district
office
personnel
that
we
have.
We
do
have
some
district
office
personnel
at
South,
High
School
that
would
be
using
from
there
and
then
possibly
looking
at
those
spaces,
I'm
very
cautious
in
saying
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
today
we're
not
talking
about
where
does
Woodrow
Wilson
go
down
the
road
or
what
it's
ECSE
go,
but
we're
talking
about
in
this
long-term
vision?
G
A
G
And
it's
also
to
utilize
spaces
for
the
purposes
that
they're
intended
to,
because
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
and
play
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
that
we're
seeing
is
when
we
have
schools
that
we're
using
for
office
space
or
office
space
and
we're
trying
to
put
students
there
for
other
services.
That's
where
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
and
renovation
costs
that
we
have
right,
even
when
we
sometimes
try
to
move.
G
You
know
when
it's
restroom
facilities
that
we're
right
now
going
to
talk
about
or
plumbing
issues
or
different
things
down.
The
road
I
think
we're
trying
to
be
more
efficient
in
terms
of
how
are
we
using
the
spaces
for
the
design
that
they
were
intended
to,
because
then
we
can
get
more
life
out
of
them.
The
road
I.
A
L
Just
as
a
follow-up,
exactly
to
that
point
was
really
where
I
was
going
with,
that
is.
Have
we
considered?
There
are
elementary
buildings
to
your
point
around
ECSE
that
we'll
probably
be
talking
about
as
we
move
forward
through
this
conversation,
but
if
we're
specifically
talking
about
only
one
option
in
terms
of
our
do
building
that's
why
I
asked
what
is
the
capacity
or
the
potential
or
the
opportunity
within
and
I
wasn't
just
referring
to
one
building
within
the
buildings
that
FPS
currently
owns,
and
what
could
that
look
like
because
I
know,
for
example,
Agassiz?
L
There
are
lots
of
least
organ
organizations
that
pay
rent
right,
and
so,
but
if
we're
looking
at
talking
about
EGIS
Emax
that
will
lead
into
programming.
But
here
how
many
employees
are
we
looking
to
relocate,
and
would
we
really
need
our
do
was
building
to
do?
That
really
is
where
my
question
was
going.
What
are
we,
including
all
of
our
buildings,
within
that
I.
A
L
You
know
how
many,
how
many
people,
how
many
square
footage
comparison?
What
would
we
need?
What
would
that
look
like
I
wanted
to
know
how
many
employees
are
here
that
we're
looking
to
relocate
what
departments?
What
makes
sense,
because,
right
now
to
your
point,
they're
some
scattered
here
or
there
you're
trying
to
pull
them
together,
but
so.
G
The
long-term
vision
in
in
terms
of
my
numbers
might
be
approximate
I.
Think
you
kind
of
heard
a
little
bit
of
estimates
down
there.
I
was
I,
wasn't
doing
impression.
We
had
about
86
people
at
this
building.
I
can
get
that
exact
number.
The
long-term
vision
would
be
for
this
building.
If,
if
the
RDO
building
is
something
that
the
board
acted
on
would
be,
this
building
would
go
to
the
RDO
building.
We
would
pull
Indian
ed
potentially
seek
depending
on
what
they
want
to
do.
G
The
FPS
foundation
and
I
think
those
are
the
programs
out
of
Agassiz
into
the
new
district
office.
If
that's
where
it
was,
and
then
we
would
come
up
with
a
longer
range
plan
to
talk
about.
Where
does
ECSC
Adult
Ed
and
Woodrow
Wilson
High
School
go
to
so
those
would
be
the
three
programs
that
would
be
left
at
Agassiz
and
we
would
want
to
come
up
with
a
decommission
plan
where
we
talk
about.
Where
is
the
best
long
term
home
for
those
programs
moving
forward.
P
Q
P
G
N
When
you're
looking
at
it,
you
have
to
look
at
it,
as
this
is
the
first
piece.
What
do
we
do
in
the
district
office
because
you're
out
of
space
here?
What
do
we
do
with
everybody?
That's
here,
everybody
is
currently
housed
in
the
schools
that
you're
talking
about
what
do
we
do
going
moving
forward
in
the
next
couple
of
years
to
say
you
know
if
we're
going
to
decommission
Agassiz.
N
This
is
the
step
that
we
have
to
take
in
order
to
look
at
that,
because
if
we
just
did
it
today,
there
we'd
have
no
place
to
go
with
anybody
any
or
groups
or
anybody
individuals
or
the
foundation
alumni
at
Agassiz.
We
have
nowhere
to
go
so
that's
kind
of
why
we're
looking
at
this
a
step.
This
is
the
first
step,
is
the
district
office
and
then
talk
about
the
RTO
building.
A
Q
D
Thank
you
yeah.
My
thoughts
on
the
district
office
is
that
we're
currently
at
capacity
and
in
fact
many
of
our
employees
that
would
normally
be
housed
at
the
deal
are
scattered
in.
There
are
other
buildings,
primarily
agassiz,
but
not
just
Agassiz,
based
upon
the
fact
that
we
will
continue
to
grow
and
we
need
to
have
capacity
to
house
district
level,
personnel
and
staff
that
serve
the
entire
district
at
a
central
location.
D
K
L
And
I
think
that
can
I
can
I,
make
a
motion
to
divide
that
or
amend
it,
because
here's
the
thing,
if
we're
talking
about
all
our
facilities
and
an
analysis
of
where
our
capacity
is
that's
really
limiting
to
just
say,
go,
get
a
appraisal
of
our
do,
which
I
believe
we
already
have
right.
Building
and
enter
into
negotiations
is
assuming
that
we're
all
then,
in
agreement
that
that's
the
best
place
to
relocate
all
these
programs
who's
to
say
that
it's
not
within
some
of
our
own
buildings
that
we
already
have.
A
L
C
Yeah
I
think
I
would
definitely
support
exploring
opportunities
and
options
right
now,
I
feel,
similarly
to
this,
as
the
discussion
we've
had
about
building
and
boundaries
with
our
student
population
I'm
concerned
about
future
revenues
future
of
the
real
estate
market.
If
we
make
too
early
of
a
commitment
here
to
this
opportunity
at
our
do,
I
am
worried
that
that's
contingent
on
what
we
think
we
might
get
selling
this
property,
something
the
Agassi
property.
B
Let's
see
what
our
do
is
formal.
Yes,
it's
it's
been
roughly
estimated
what
it
is
and
praised
effort.
Let's
do
a
formal
appraisal
of
that
building.
Let's
do
the
formal
appraisal
of
this.
We
know.
In
the
past
we
had
someone
that
had
some
interest
in
this
building.
We
need
to
give
administration
the
opportunity
to
explore
those
options
to
see
what
is
there
doesn't
mean
that
something
has
to
take
place
but
exploring
it.
Opening
up
to
negotiation
says:
let's
take
a
look,
is
there
an
opportunity,
but
it
doesn't
say
it's
a
done
deal.
C
So
we
say
it's:
the
transition
would
be
a
three
to
five
year
thing.
It
wasn't
part
of
this
presentation
yet,
but
I
did
see
in
our
packet
that
there
are
some
imminent
expenses
at
Agassiz
that
are
substantial
and
necessary
for
that
building
to
be
usable
at
all.
I'm
wondering
like
if
you
could
maybe
talk
to
us
here,
a
little
bit
more
about
what
is
needed
at
Agassiz
in
the
state
of
that
building.
So.
C
A
G
We
can
keep
exploring
we're,
not
asking
the
board
to
sign
any
purchasing
agreement,
but
at
the
same
point
we
also
have
to
know
as
a
board-
and
this
is
we're
planning
and
the
board
needs
to
look
at
our
finances.
There
is
there's,
never
going
to
be
that
perfect
guarantee,
where
you're
going
to
be
able
to
sell
this
building
and
buy
that
building,
and
so
at
the
same
time.
So
so
the
conversation
needs
to
happen
in
it's.
G
Our
is
the
board
willing
to
invest
in
that
vision,
and
if
so,
did
the
numbers
make
sense
and
Rdio
has
an
appraisal
that
they've
done.
We
have
not
done
an
appraisal
on
their
building,
we
have
done
an
appraisal
on
our
building
and
we
can
maybe
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
those
numbers
in
an
executive
session,
if
that's
appropriate,
then,
but
I
think
that's
kind
of
what's
led
to
this
conversation.
So.
A
J
Just
add
one
more
thing
that
we
talked
about
in
planning
and
that
the
RTO
building
we
don't
know
there
may
be
other
people
looking
at
this
building
as
well,
and
so,
if
we
don't
direct
our
administration
to
at
least
investigating
and
things
it
may,
we
may
lose
the
opportunity
if
it
determines
that
we
think
it's
a
good
opportunity.
They
have.
That
was
the
other
thing
we
had
talked
about
planning.
P
K
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
double-check
that
that
is
that
that
was
the
wording
that
was
made
I
would
I
would
be
supportive
us
having
some
additional
conversation
regarding
agassi
if
I
wouldn't
be
opposed
to
that.
If
we
had
some
of
that
conversation
now,
if
that
helps
us
make
the
decision,
but
I
also
observed
the
planning
meeting,
so
I
have
some
additional
information
in
my
head
that
helps
me.
A
B
In
your
point,
asking
about
the
recommendation
for
what
the
motion
on
the
table
its
negotiations
for
a
potential
purchase,
it
doesn't
mean
that
it
is.
This
is
the
only
option
but
I
think
at
this
time
and
because
of
the
RTO
building.
One
of
the
other
benefits
of
that
was
it's
fully
furnished,
which
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
and
and
taking
a
look
at
it
for
potential
purchase
not
for
a
definite
purchase
agreement
that
would
be
signed.
L
Okay,
so
my
response
to
that
is
really:
there
is
an
expense
that
will
be
incurred
from
getting
appraisals
alone.
So
we
would
be
also
saying
we
agree
to
that.
Second
I
agree
with
John's
comments.
We
need
to
consider
that
a
bigger
building
is
more
operational
expenses,
higher
utility
costs,
and
is
this
the
time
and
we
will
be
out
laying
millions
to
purchase
a
new
building,
because
you
can't
time
the
selling
of
the
buildings
that
we
currently
have.
L
Is
this
an
appropriate
time
and
mostly
I,
just
keep
going
back
to
in
my
mind,
we
have
had
capacity
conversations
over
and
over
and
over
about
how
some
of
our
buildings
have
room
and
we're
only
talking
about
seventy-five
to
a
hundred
students
at
this
point.
Under
this
particular
conversation
I'm,
sorry,
not
students,
employees
really
and
we're
all
and
we're
only
talking
about
our
do.
L
Building
as
one
option
I
feel
like
it
is
a
conversation
that
should
encompass
all
of
our
buildings
for
the
best
long-range
plan
and
if
you're
talking
about
programming
of
agassi
and
movement,
I
would
say
my
question
there
would
be,
if
you
take
all
of
those
programs
at
RFPs
employees
and
all
of
the
employees
here.
Would
you
still
have
the
available
room
for
them
within
our
own
buildings?
Now
or
would
you
have
to
purchase
something?
Do
we.
F
H
B
This
isn't,
but
the
RTO
building
is
much
more
centrally
located.
So
if
we
can
combine
all
of
our
FPS
people
that
work
for
the
district
office
into
one
location,
we
know
that
it
would
combine
different
people
from
the
Agassiz
building
that
we
would
pull
over
the
ones
that
Rupa
is
mentioned.
We
know
that
there's
some
do
office
personnel
at
the
self.
If
we
could
bring
those
all
under
one
roof
and
then
we
have
the
opportunity
for
even
say
hidden
south.
B
Let's
say
you
know
Woodrow
Wilson,
and
we
don't
want
to
say
that
that's
where
it
would
be.
But
then
we
have
an
opportunity
when
we
pull
some
of
those
people
out
that
we
can
look
at
what
our
available
space
is
in
our
schools
and
then
adjust
accordingly,
whether
it's
ECSC
Indian
education.
You
know
Woodrow
Wilson,
Adult
Ed
those
types
of
things,
but
then
we
would
have
a
centralized
district
office
central
to
the
community.
H
G
I
can
also
answer
Jennifer's
question
I.
Think
Jennifer.
Your
question
correct
me:
if
I'm
not
interpreting
this
correctly,
but
as
can
we
just
take
all
the
people
that
that
we
have
spaces
for
and
put
them
in
to
where
we
have
vacancies
in
our
in
our
current
buildings.
I
would
have
to
do
a
further
analysis,
but
my
overall
answer
would
be
no.
It's
not
that
easy.
You
know
we
may
have
some
space
at
Madison
or
we
may
have
potential
space.
G
I've
been
Franklin,
or
maybe
some
space
at
one
school,
but,
like
I
said
it
would
require
renovation
of
potentially
classroom
spaces
into
office
spaces.
It
would
also
require
splitting
up
departments
or
individuals
or
groups
of
individuals
that
we
keep
together,
purposely
whether
it's
in
the
Fargo
public
schools,
Foundation
has
two
employees.
Indian
Education
has
one
employee
and
some
other
people
that
they
work
with
the
mentors
are
come
in
and
now
seek
who's
currently
borrowing
some
spaces,
that's
an
organization.
So
it's
not
like.
G
We
just
have
exact
amount
of
vacancies
for
the
exact
amount
of
people
that
we
have
in
the
district
office
or
the
Agassiz
building,
where
we
can
just
plug
them
into
whatever
we
have
spaces
into
our
buildings.
We'd
have
to
do
some
further
analysis,
but
I
don't
think
it's
that
that
equates
as
a
one-to-one
comparison.
K
Well,
there's
lots
of
good
information
in
the
site.
Analysis
document
we'll
all
of
these,
but
regarding
the
Rd
Offutt
building
that
we
haven't
discussed
really
much
at
this
board
meeting
but
was
discussed
at
planning
and
so
I
would
say.
I
mean
I've,
attended
that
planning
meeting
and
I
read
through
the
information
a
couple
times,
because
I
enjoyed
just
the
thoroughness
of
this
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
this
detail
I
think
so.
K
K
Some
that
we
haven't
talked
about
today.
I,
don't
want
to
speak
and
I
was
not
a
member
of
the
planning
committee,
and
so
I
was
just
listening
in
so
I
guess,
I'm
just
wondering
you
know.
Does
anyone
else
here
tonight
need
more
information
regarding
some
of
the
discussion
that
happened
regarding
the
Offit
building,
what
it
might
offer
to
us
before
we
decide
to
vote
on
this
I'd
be
ready
to
vote
right
now,
but
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
is
I.
C
C
If
we
come
out
on
the
other
side
and
are
not
gonna
make
that
decision,
if
we
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
likely,
I
think
getting
in
more
information
for
us
to
make
that
final
decision
is
appropriate,
but
if
we
can
look
out
three
to
six
months
from
now
and
we're
gonna
be
sitting
around
here,
saying
yeah,
that
was
a
waste
of
time.
We're
not
gonna.
G
I
agree
with
John
sentiments:
it's
it's.
You
know
this
is
where
it
gets
tricky,
as
as
a
sub
sector
of
the
government
and
being
a
public
board,
I
mean
Blake
and
his
team
have
done
a
phenomenal
analysis
on
three
buildings
in
a
very
short
amount
of
time
and
put
together
almost
every
piece
of
information
they
could,
with
the
resources
that
we
have
purchases
such
as
these
and
decisions
such
as
these
should
not
be
taken
lightly
and
I.
G
Think
our
taxpayers
deserve
the
intense
scrutiny
that
we
give,
but
no
similar
to
feasibility
studies
that
we've
done
in
the
past
I
didn't
get
approved
at
certain
point
to
make
a
more
informed
decision.
You
need
to
invest
in
that
short-term
cause.
To
get
that
information
you
need,
because
we
can't
predict
the
future.
G
We
can't
expect
what's
gonna
happen
down
the
road
I
think
I've,
if
Blake
feels
comfortable
I
feel
safe
to
say
that
everything
that
we
can
offer
you
right
now
on
what
we
know
about
the
RDL
building
is
in
the
packet
and
is
in
the
analysis
there
additional
information
about
exactly
what
the
appraisal
is
going
to
come
out
to
that.
That
would
have
require
a
formal
action
and
an
appraisal
to
do
that.
G
We
don't
know
what
those
opportunities
are,
but
those
are
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
had
talked
about
as
benefits,
and
it
is
absolutely
correct
that
we
did
not
move
forward
and
say:
let's
try
to
find
another
home
for
the
district
office
and
go
find
this
building.
This
was
an
opportunity
that
was
presented
to
us,
so
we
explored-
and
we
said,
there's
multiple
benefits
to
it.
G
What
the
commitment
that
you'll
have
for
me
and
for
my
administration
is
that
it's
not
like
we're
not
going
to
look
at
other,
better
options,
we're
not
sold
on
only
one
option.
This
was
an
opportunity
that
was
presented,
so
we
did
some
research.
We
brought
it
to
the
board
and
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
now.
If
there's
something
better
that
comes
along
the
way
or
the
the
appraisal
or
the
prices
don't
make
sense,
then
it
doesn't
make
sense
for
us
as
a
district,
and
we
don't
have
to
move
forward
with
the
purchase.
P
A
D
H
P
H
H
A
P
P
Q
P
Q
Q
A
A
A
G
I
will
I'll
do
a
quick
introduction
and
then
hand
it
over
to
to
Jackie
or
Blake
that
might
want
to
touch
base
on
this,
but
there
are
some,
as
alluded
to
earlier
today,
immediate
plumbing
concerns
at
the
Agassi
building
that
do
need
to
be
addressed.
We're
asking
the
board
to
take
action
on
one
of
the
options
that
was
considered
administration
would
want
to.
You
know
we're
looking
for
a
recommendation
to
proceed
to
secure
bids
for
plumbing
renovations,
Blake
and
talk
through
the
different
options.
G
They
come
at
different
price
points
and
they
do
different
things
at
the
Planning
Committee.
The
recommendation
was
to
bring
all
all
of
these
options
for
the
board
to
discuss
because
there
wasn't.
You
know
at
that
point.
The
Planning
Committee
didn't
didn't
know
what
the
board
was
gonna
do
in
terms
of
the
previous
business
item,
to
have
a
long-term
vision
for
Agassi
or
not.
Well,
since
that
now
got
tabled,
we
are
gonna
flip
it
and
now
we
need
to
address
the
immediate
needs
first
and
to
and
the
board's
gonna
have
to
decide.
A
N
Was
just
going
to
go
over
the
different
options
here
as
far
as
what
it
includes
in
my
Agassi
assessment,
it
does
show
some
pictures
of
some
of
the
areas
we're
talking
about
some
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
there
as
well.
So
if
you
look
at
that
in
your
in
your
packets,
you'll
see
those,
but
it's
just
basically
to
go
over
the
options,
a
B
and
C
as
far
as
what
we
came
up
with
for
a
cost
associated
with
those,
but
these
are
costs
that
are
visible.
N
Those
costs
are
what
we
see
now.
Currently,
that's
not
the
cost
of
when
we
started
tearing
up
a
floor
tearing
a
wall
apart
or
what
we
find
at
that
point
so,
and
there's
a
lot
of
unknowns
with
Agassiz,
so
that's
kind
of
where
we're
at
with
these
so
option
a
would
be
to
correct
our
sewer
issue
over
there,
because
during
the
winter
time,
especially,
there
is
a
smell
that
goes
through
the
building
that
is
from
pipes
that
are
corroded,
because
they're
the
pipes
that
are
original
to
the
building
is.
N
This
is
what
you
wanted
me
to
go
over
correct
the
different
options:
good.
Okay,
so
I
saw
your
face
and
I
was
like:
oh
maybe
I
shouldn't
talk
about
it,
but
those
options
that
option
does
correct
that
sewer
issue
that
we
have
in
that
one
area
it
gets
rid
of
that
smell.
It
gets
rid.
It
puts
some
new
PVC
pipe
in
as
opposed
to
what's
in
there
now,
which
is
is,
is
gone
basically
so
right
now
we
are
venting
some
sewer
into
ground,
as
opposed
to
through
the
pipes.
N
So
that's
just
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
what
our
current
pipe
situation
is.
There
additional
bathrooms,
ECSE
is
out
is
now
out
of
any
space
that
they
have
to
be
able.
Put
bathrooms
in
my
predecessor
came
up
with
a
plan
to
do
bathrooms
over
there
in
the
ECSC
classrooms
jack-and-jill
bathrooms,
but
that
would
require
doing
some
major
digging
in
the
hallways
and
digging
up
all
the
terrazzo
and
and
going
into
the
classrooms
to
put
plumbing
in
there.
N
The
plan
that
that
we
came
up
with
a
couple
weeks
ago
was
that
that
we
were
gonna
change,
some
of
the
areas
in
that
aren't
being
used.
Currently
there
was
an
old
girl
shower
and
a
rest
room
back
there.
We're
gonna
turn
that
and
convert
that
into
bathroom
space,
because
it
is
in
relatively
good
proximity
to
those
classrooms.
So
you
just
go
down
a
hallway
and
it's
straight
there,
so
we
were
going
to
create
boys
and
girls
bathrooms
down
there
in
that
hallway
and
I
do
have
pictures
of
where
that
would
be
at
as
well.
N
In
there
the
bathrooms
and
the
shower
space
that
we
would
convert.
We
would
add
some
office
space
in
there
as
well.
That's
currently
just
storage
space
right
now,
because
we'd
find
other
places
for
that
stuff,
because
it's
half
used
half
not
so
we'd
create
three
additional
offices
in
that
hallway
chase
way
that
everything
is
in
right
now
and
then
the
classrooms
would
be
one
that
they
would
gain
from
some
of
this
as
well.
So
that's
correcting
a
good
portion
of
some
of
the
issues
would
be
option.
A
I
mean
I
can
go
over
in
detail.
N
The
total
amount
of
everything
that's
needs
to
get
replaced
or
fixed
over
at
Agassiz
later
on,
but
this
is
just
for
the
sewer
issue
of
the
plumbing
issue.
Option
B
is
to
correct
the
sewers
and
the
pipes
that
come
in
there
for
what
we
have
and
what
is
corroded
additional
bathrooms.
We
would
not
add
any
the
portable
sinks
that
are
in
the
classrooms
right
now.
N
N
Yes
seek
and
alumni
as
who
we
would
have
to
require
to
move
in
order
to
make
that
work,
because
then
we
need
that
additional
office
space.
Now
that
cost
is
five
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
just
to
correct
the
sewer
issue
and
the
move
of
the
renter's
is
something
internally.
We
would
do
ourselves,
it
wouldn't
be
a
cost.
So
five
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
for
that
option,
a
is
1.4
million
option.
C
would
be
to
correct
the
sewer,
no
additional
bathrooms
leave.
The
sinks
is
portable.
N
We
wouldn't
do
anything
with
the
renter's
that
we
have
there
knowing
of
that,
and
then
we
would
take
and
go
ahead
and
add
one
classroom
at
Centennial
in
one
classroom
at
Kennedy
for
our
ECSE.
That
would
be
the
five
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
of
option,
B,
plus
an
additional
sixty
thousand
to
be
able
to
create
that
space.
S
S
Almost
all
of
our
all
of
our
students
in
ECSE
have
an
IEP
and
majority
receives
speech,
therapy,
ot
and
PT
therapy
right
now,
we're
not
sure
on
the
capacity
of
the
ot
PT
room
at
our
current
Elementary's,
to
put
the
classroom
in
and
give
them
access
to
that
now.
We
certainly
try
to
work
through
that,
but
it
was
not.
We
don't
haven't
worked
through
that
plan
completely.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
it
is,
there
is
some
things
we'd
have
to
work
through.
S
The
other
piece
is
bathroo
mean,
is
extremely
important,
with
our
three
to
five
year
olds,
as
we
go
forward
with
the
space,
so
even
at
Kennedy
we'd
have
to
really
look
at
their
access
to
a
space
with
a
changing
table
which
might
require
a
few
remodeling
dollars.
So,
even
if
we
have
a
classroom,
it
doesn't
mean
it's
an
immediate
fix.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
shared
that
with
you
and
then
maybe
I
didn't
answer
the
question,
though,.
A
S
For
your
C
at
Kennedy,
yes,
it
would
depend
the
we.
Our
first
project
is
Longfellow,
so
we'll
see
how
that
goes
next
year,
but
we
were
able
to
get
the
speech
space
ot
space
and
the
classrooms
with
bathrooms.
There
so
that'd
be
our
model
just
fitting
into
one
classroom.
I,
don't
know
if
Kennedy
be
the
place
that
we'd
have
four
classrooms
available
for
a
pot.
If
that
makes
sense
in
the
future.
G
That
was
it
I.
Think
to
your
question.
Robin,
we
part
of
the
task
force
recommendation
is
having
North
Central
and
South
centre
for
ECSE
each
of
those
centers
in
our
long-term
vision,
and
what
we
need
would
be
a
pod
of
four
classrooms.
So,
if
we're
looking
at
one
classroom
at
Kennedy
in
one
classroom
at
Centennial,
know
that
does
that
remodel
would
not
be
just
a
space.
G
M
Have
a
question
for
Blake
and
actually
Blake
it's
a
two-part
question.
First
of
all,
if
we
didn't
move
an
ECSC
classroom
into
agassiz,
how
much
would
we
have
to
spend
on
the
plumbing?
And
secondly,
the
scenario
that's
been
laid
out
to
us
makes
it
appear
within
our
vision
that
we'll
be
selling
this
building
within
five
years.
Would
these
plumbing
changes
enhance
its
sale
or
is
the
plumbing
just
some
something
that's
going
to
have
to
be
addressed
by
whoever
buys
it.
N
N
Now,
that's
where
I
say
that
the
the
value
is
in
the
land
itself,
because
any
anybody
that
I've
talked
to
as
far
as
appraisers
and
I'll
say
that
that's
where
the
value
is
at
in
there,
that's
why
they
had
a
tough
time
coming
up
with
an
appraised
value
of
that
building,
because
the
land
is
valuable.
The
building
is
not
the
way
it
sits
currently
now
to
address
the
first
part
of
your
question.
N
If
we
didn't
add
an
ECSE
classroom
in
there,
we
would
still
have
to
do
something
with
the
sewer
and
with
the
pipes
over
there,
whether
that
would
be
a
1.4
million
dollar
fix
to
fix
the
whole
sewer
issue
that
we
have
as
far
as
just
the
smell
or
to
just
we'd,
have
to
end
up
addressing
something
as
far
as
bathrooms
as
well.
So
right
now,
the
way
it
says
they
have
one
bathroom
across
the
hall
and
then
they
have
a
boys
and
girls
bathroom
down
the
hall
they're
very
small.
N
It
doesn't
suit
the
needs
of
what
they
have
currently
at
ECSE.
If
we
were
to
go
ahead
and
add
those
bathrooms
and
do
the
1.4
million
yes,
it'd
be
a
1.4
million
temporary
fix
to
whether
or
not
we
vacated
that
building
or
whether
or
not
we
stayed
in
that
building
for
five
years,
a
total.
If
we
to
their
total,
we
still
have
to
invest
at
one
point:
four
million
cumulative
Lea
over
the
next
few
years
in
order
to
make
sure
that
that
building
is
habitable.
K
K
S
Of
the
pieces
in
there
would
be
is
if
we
still
stay
at
Agassiz,
and
we
do
the
lowest
amount
to
get
the
smell
and
not
add
a
bathroom
is.
We
might
have
to
look
at
the
staffing
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
children
to
the
bathroom,
and
that
might
mean
some
additional,
whether
it's
a
paraprofessional
or
just
the
coordination
of
times.
L
N
It
affects
the
most
is
ECSE.
What
it
affects
in
the
building
is
the
whole
building.
Oh-
and
you
know,
I
don't
like
to
give
out
generalizations
it's
really
without
showing
you
everything,
but,
generally
speaking,
that's
what
it
is
is
the
plumbing
in
the
whole
building.
If
you
have
more
ECSE
in
that
building-
or
we
add
anybody
to
that
building.
Currently
it's
going
to
tax
the
system
we
have
and
there
currently
we're
gonna
have
more
shoes,
yeah.
H
L
And
and
basically
where
it
was
going
with,
that
is,
if
it's
really
affecting
ECSE,
could
we
accelerate
the
move
into
the
locations
where
that
is
our
plan
right
and
spend
the
money?
There
seems
wiser
to
me
at
the
new
buildings
rather
than
here,
and
so
that's
why
I
was
wondering.
Is
it
affecting
anyone
else
and
if
we
were
able
to
accelerate
and
move
that
program
out,
then
what
would
it
look
like
in
terms
of
costs?
If
anything
could
we
leave
it?
Well.
N
If
you're
gonna
look
at
something,
that's
turned
in
terms
of
cost,
I
would
look
at
it
just
looking
at
what
we
spent
over
at
Longfellow
to
be
able
to
add
those
for
those
four
classrooms
back
there,
but
we
renovate
in
an
area
back
there
to
be
able
to
have
those
at
Longfellow.
If
we're
talking
about
it,
any
other
buildings
we'd
have
to
add
on
so
you're
talking.
N
I,
wouldn't
even
want
to
give
you
an
estimate
right
now
of
what
that
would
cost
I'd
rather
get
some
estimates,
and
this
can
I
give
you
a
ballpark
of
what
that
would
be
to
be
able
to
tell
you
okay.
This
is
what
would
it
be
if
we
decided
to
put
some
ECS
classrooms
ECSE
classrooms
on
to
kennedy
onto
centennial
or
whatever?
Building
that
you
would
choose
so
I
would
rather
be
able
to
give
you
some
better
numbers.
S
So
currently
we're
at
Centennial,
Agassiz
and
Madison
mm-hm,
and
so
Madison
classes
will
be
moving
to
Longfellow
and
we
have
repurposed
the
space
at
Madison
for
a
specialized
education
program,
and
so
that
is
our
high
functioning
low
functioning
autism.
We
need
another
section
of
low
functioning
autism,
so
they're
going
to
go
into
to
the
classroom,
so
they
would
have
one
classroom
available.
H
S
A
Q
N
If
I,
could
you
know
all
of
these
options?
Are
a
temporary
cross,
your
fingers,
because
unless
we're
talking
about
replacing
all
of
the
plumbing
in
that
building
and
there's
some
issues
with
how
we
can
replace
that
at
this
point
with
the
current
tunnel
system,
that's
under
there
is
basically
closed
off
at
this
point,
so
we'd
have
to
build
tunnels
on
other
floors,
so
you're
talking
a
pretty
good
cost
to
be
able
to
do
that.
N
But
if
you're
talking
just
add
in
any
of
these,
it's
a
temporary
fix
but
you're
still
as
a
group
with
the
mainus
operations
team,
we're
still
thinking.
Okay,
if
we
invest
the
1.4
million
into
correcting
some
of
the
sewer
issues,
adding
the
two
bathrooms
you
know,
what
are
we
gonna
see
after
that,
and
some
of
those
things
that
we
look
at
is
is
what's
the
what's
the
taxi
on
the
system
currently?
Well,
it's
got
to
be
taxed
quite
a
bit
even
after
you
do
these
things,
so
we're
still
going
to
have
issues.
N
F
G
I
was
just
gonna
answer,
Jennifer's
question
about:
can
we
accelerate
the
move
of
ECSC?
We
are
limited
a
little
bit
because
the
vision
of
the
Northside
ECSC
Center,
which
is
going
to
be
a
long
fellow
and
we're
doing
some
of
that
work
right
there.
Then
we
have
a
center
location
and
I
think
in
the
previous
Agassi
analysis.
There
shows
you
some
of
the
spaces
that
we
have.
We
don't
have
four
spaces
in
anywhere
center
of
town
and
we
don't
have
four
classrooms
and
you
were
south
of
town
so
well.
G
This
is
very
preliminary
and
just
thoughts.
A
conversation
we've
had
down
the
road
is
the
south
side.
Vision
for
ECSE
might
be.
If
and
when
we
need
to
build
a
new
elementary
school
down
there,
because
that's
when
we
can
potentially
provide
for
that
space
to
have
for
the
four
classroom
centers
right
now
we
can
look
at
accelerating
the
move
of
ECSC,
but
I.
Don't
I
think
Missy's
been
kind
of
doing
that.
We
don't
have
a
home
to
get
what
we
need
for
all
the
spaces
that
we
would
need.
L
Follow-Up
to
that
Thank,
You
Rebecca,
so
to
either
one
of
you,
then,
when
we're
talking
about
occasion
that
sounds
like
years
and
years
down
the
road
right
for
style,
so
we're
gonna
need
within
three
to
five
years.
If,
if
that's
the
plan
to
move
ECSE
out,
we're
gonna
need
somewhere
else.
To
put
them.
So
is
that
McKinley?
Because
now,
when
you're
talking
about
staff
and
traveling
and
services,
we
have
something
close,
and
we
have
capacity
available.
I
mean,
isn't
that
something
when
we
talk
about
maybe
an
accelerated
plan,
that's
necessary.
L
G
I
think
again,
I
don't
know
if
McKinley
has
four
classroom
centers
right
now
and
then
secondly,
that
would
go
against.
You
know
right
now
we're
trying
to
follow
the
task
force.
Recommendation
of
a
north,
central
and
south
side
service
center
for
ECSC,
so
McKinley
and
Malvo
would
both
fall
or
the
north
side.
If
we
were
to
look
at
that
campus,
not
even
saying
we
have
an
opportunity,
there.
K
Did
because
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
EC
SC
regarding
Central
Fargo
and,
if
I'm,
looking
on
page
12
of
this
of
this
document,
where
we're
talking
about
yeah
they're
talking
about
the
Agassiz
building,
I
think
the
first
two
bullet
points
are.
We
did
we
maybe
throw
out.
I
might
be
a
misunderstanding.
This
though,
but
potentially
looking
at
either
the
RDO
building
or
South
to
hold
an
e
CSC
program
or
am
I
not
saying
that
representing
that
correct
way,
I.
S
S
It's
just
something
we'd
have
to
again
bring
here
just
like
remodeling
when
we
went
for
the
Longfellow,
because
you
remodel
a
secondary
space
for
elementary
the
bathrooms
and
some
of
those
things
are
quite
expensive,
but
it
doesn't
we're
willing
to
look
at
options
for
that
so
sight.
But
we
also
know
if
Woodrow
needed
a
home
if
we
were
gonna
clear
it
out.
Maybe
that
doesn't
make
as
much
sense
if
there's
if
they
need
the
space,
so
John.
E
C
S
We
have
the
I
guess
the
proper
bathrooms.
It's
just
that
it's
not
as
convenient
I
would
say
the
distance
they
have
to
travel
to
get
to
the
bathrooms.
So
the
ideal
model
is
gonna,
be
a
jack-and-jill
bathroom
that
could
be
shared
right
now
because
of
agassi's
layout.
The
distance
traveled
is
long
and
will
require
adult
supervision
with
three
to
five
year
olds.
A
L
L
L
L
A
B
Christine
I,
just
when
I
look
at
the
two
options
as
well
and
I
know,
we
had
some
very
long
discussions
and
planning
on
this
I
struggle
with
the
1.4
million.
When
we
don't
know
how
long
we
plan
to
stay
there
and
that's
that's
a
larger
investment
I
just
think
if
we
can
525
is
still
a
large
investment,
but
if
it
could
correct
the
problems
that
we
have
for
now,
I
feel
that
that
would
be
a
better
choice.
M
Tend
to
agree
with
Robin
and
Christy
I'd
I'd
have
a
great
deal
of
difficulty
spending
1.4
million
dollars
in
a
building
that
we
may
not
see
as
a
long-term
part
of
the
Fargo
school
system.
I'd
be
interested
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
appropriate
or
not
I'd
be
interested
in
hearing.
What
Blake
feels
is
the
best
of
the
three
options:
I.
H
N
I
can
answer
it
in
two
ways
without
it
sounded
wishy-washy.
Now
me
from
a
facility
standpoint,
I
always
look
for.
What's
gonna,
be
the
best
solution
to
move
forward
that
everybody's
gonna
be
happy
with
whenever
we're
space
planning
whenever
we're
looking
at
renovations,
whenever
we're
looking
at
anything
as
far
as
repairs,
what's
gonna
be
the
best
solution,
people
come
to
us
a
lot
with
I
want
to
put
a
wall
in
here,
because
I
need
to
buy
this
into
two
classrooms
to
create
space.
Well,
that
may
not
make
sense.
N
A
C
Just
in
defense
of
my
motion,
I
do
think
that
we
have
a
sensitive
population
that
isn't
being
well
served
right
now
and
we're
thinking
three
to
five
years.
I
think
that's
a
really
really
tenuous!
Guess
right
now,
I'm
not
comfortable
with
that
at
all
that
we're
gonna
be
out
of
there
in
three
to
five
years,
and
if
that's
going
to
be
the
case,
then
I
think
we
need
should
invest
in
these
kids.
J
A
L
I
would
add
to
that
too,
that
you
know
part
of
the
discussion
was.
How
can
we
accelerate
this?
For
that
very
reason,
because
I
think
we
heard
you
know
loud
and
clear
a
handful
of
years
ago
that
when
that
program
was
over
at
Eagles,
that
they
wanted
to
stay
together,
that
they
wanted
their
partners
to
be
in
under
the
same
roof,
and
so
I
I
have
to
say
I'm
a
little
bit
surprised
actually
of
what
came
out
of
the
recommendation
from
the
task
force.
L
Because
of
that
reason,
because
I
feel,
like
the
message,
was
pretty
clear:
they
wanted
to
be
together
and
that
way
they
could
also
share
resources
and
and
programming's
and
think
so
so
I
do
think
that,
on
that
note,
we
are
saying
we
want
to
accelerate
this
to
get
them
in
a
permanent
home,
a
that
is
best
suited
for
all
of
those
kids
as
needs,
and
so
you
know
I
just
think
we
need
to
do
that.
We.
K
K
What
kind
of
a
time
frame
do
you
need
I
mean?
Is
there?
Is
there
a
point
where
we
can
say,
approve,
option
B
and
have
some
more
discussion
about
agassi
and
potentially
come
back
I,
don't
I'm,
not
saying
tonight,
I,
don't
know
when,
but
soon
and
say
we
want
to
invest
the
additional
dollars,
as
indicated
in
option
a
because
of
having
after
having
further
discussion
and
analysis
with
Agassi
I
would.
A
G
G
Decisions
can
change
over
time,
but
sometimes
we,
what
we
seek
is
administration
is
the
vision
from
the
board
commit
to
a
vision
and
then,
if
it
doesn't
work
out,
it
doesn't
work
out,
but
at
least
give
us
a
sense
of
direction
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
really
seeking
here.
When
we
keep
going
back
and
saying,
can
we
go
back
and
explore,
or
can
we
come
back
and
put
this
decision
off?
It
doesn't
help
and
our
kids
are
just
waiting,
and
some
of
these
decisions
are
gonna
be
hard.

Thank
you.
Yes,
that
is
the
one
that
is
on
if
you
jump
back
to
memo
112,
so
we're
jumping
back
to
112
that
Jim
did
move
the
motion.
That
is
on
that
recommended
as
a
recommendation
on
that
memo,
which
says
that
administration
proceeded
to
explore
relocation,
opportunities
for
the
district
office
and
Agassiz
with
a
formal
appraisal,
the
RDO
building
and
the
negotiations
for
potential
purchase.
P
D
Q
P
Q
A
D
E
A
I'm
seeing
nods
so
it
looks
like
we
won't,
have
to
go
into
executive
session,
but
we
are
required
to
have
that
as
a
placeholder
on
our
agenda
for
meeting
notice
requirements.
Hey
on
to
the
next
item,
then
item
5d
operational
plan-
and
this
is
the
work
of
the
superintendent
in
his
cabinet.
Your
planning
for
the
year
sure.
G
So,
as
you'll
see
in
your
board
packet,
we
provide
a
monitoring
update
on
our
out
on
our
operational
plan.
As
you
can
imagine,
this
year's
operational
plan
did
have
some
focus
areas
that
we
did
not
expect
or
that
we're
not
outlined
as
a
result
of
transitioning
to
distance
learning.
I
do
feel
confident
and
I'm
grateful
for
a
lot
of
the
work
of
all
of
our
staff
that
have
helped
us
complete
most
of
the
work
in
the
operational
plan.
G
I
think
there's
two
areas
where
we
did
say
was
impacted
by
kovin
19
and
we're
gonna
continue
doing
that.
Some
of
that
work,
our
operational
plan
is
a
living
document.
We
will
gleam
whatever
would
need
to
be
carried
over
from
this
year
unto
the
next
year.
The
best
example
I
can
give
you
is
the
Safety
Committee.
You
know
we
continue
the
Safety
Committee
from
last
year
to
this
year,
but
then
that
was
something
that
the
safety
committee
had
to
stop
their
work.
G
When,
when
we
transitioned
to
distance
learning,
there's
absolutely
no
expectation
that
that
work
has
permanently
stopped.
That's
something
that
we'd
carry
over
next
year
into
their
operational
plan.
Although
the
safety
committee
did
a
lot
of
work
this
year
in
terms
of
updating
some
policies,
we
still
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
have
left
to
do
as
well,
so
in
your
board.
Packets,
just
for
your
review,
is
as
a
completion
and
monitoring
document
of
our
operational
plan,
all
cabinets
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
B
C
Questions
I
just
want
to
say
what
an
outstanding
job
I
think
this
year
this
when
we
first
approved
this
operational
plan,
we
knew
it
was
going
to
be
hefty
and
big
Pole
and
then
Copa
19
of
the
pandemic
happened,
and
it's
it's
really
impressive.
What
we've
had
done
up
to
that
point
and
through
that
and
to
see
so
little,
that
was
impacted.
It's
quite
a
tribute
to
the
people
we
have
working
at
Fargo
public
schools.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
please
keep
it
up
in
the
future.
A
A
L
P
D
Q
Q
A
R
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
share
with
you
the
draft
calendar
for
21
22.
This
has
been
a
unique
opportunity
as
we
pulled
together
the
calendar
committee,
which
is
18
different
individuals
from
teachers,
principals,
students,
district
office
staff,
support
staff.
We
started
out
face
to
face,
and
then
we
transition
to
online,
which
was
a
unique
and
wonderful
opportunity
for
us
to
discuss,
get
feedback
and
then
come
back
together
to
build
this
draft
you'll
notice
on
the
leading
memo.
It
talks
about
some
of
the
information
that
we
looked
at.
R
R
R
Do
we
not
when
it
came
to
parents,
our
staff
and
students
answered
a
little
bit
differently,
but
based
on
that,
the
calendar
committee
has
really
used
a
every
other
year
approach
where
one
year
we'll
do
a
week-long
spring
break
and
then
the
next
year
we
would
not
in
the
calendar
you'll
notice
for
2122.
This
does
not
have
a
week-long
spring
break,
but
the
calendar
right
before
that
does
so.
We
followed
that
pattern.
R
This
calendar
starts
a
little
bit
differently
than
the
last
few
calendars
that
we
have
shared
with
you,
instead
of
starting
with
three
professional
development
days.
This
calendar
starts
with
two
and
we
would
still
be
allowed
under
this
calendar
to
follow.
The
provision
of
the
teacher
contract
says
that
we
need
at
least
two
half
days
of
professional
practice
time.
R
We
would
be
able
to
accommodate
that
under
this
calendar,
you'll
notice,
where
some
of
the
difference
holidays
are
placed
made
this
a
very
unique
calendar
to
build,
for
example,
in
November,
when
you
look
at
the
day
that
we
are
required
to
have
off
the
11th,
which
is
a
Thursday.
What
does
that
mean
for
the
Friday
and
so
on,
or
where
Thanksgiving
or
some
of
the
other
holidays
fall,
and
that
made
for
some
great
conversations
from
the
committee?
We
went
through
multiple
drafts.
R
In
fact,
I
think
this
is
draft
six
that
the
committee
created
and
finally,
we
came
to
consensus
at
our
last
committee
meeting.
We
agreed
at
the
very
beginning
that
consensus
would
mean,
when
80%
of
the
committee
could
live
with
the
calendar,
moving
forward,
that
we
would
say
that
we
had
consensus
and
we
reached
that
mark
plus.
So
with
that
I
share
with
you,
the
draft
calendar
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
J
L
R
Question
I
think
one
of
the
points
really
was
November
12th.
What
do
we
do
with
that
day
when
you
are
required
to
have
the
11th
off?
If
we
then
made
that
a
no-contact
today,
where
it
was
just
a
day
off?
Where
then,
would
you
find
another
contact
day
within
the
calendar,
so
that
was
some
of
the
conversation?
We
also
had
great
conversation
around
spring
break,
and
should
we
do
two
years
in
a
row
a
week-long
spring
break
or
not?
If
we
did
again
looking
at,
where
do
you
start?
R
Where
do
you
end
that
really
stretches
that
calendar
even
longer,
and
then
the
last
thing
that
we
looked
at
that
probably
had
the
most
conversation
was:
should
we
have
a
three
or
a
four
day
weekend
in
January
or
February
for
staff,
so
that
they
also
could
have
some
time
during
the
year?
But
as
we
ended
the
conversation
and
came
to
consensus,
this
was
the
best
that
we
could
come
up
with
based
upon
where
some
of
those
days
were
and
it
met
the
majority
or
that
80%
consensus.
M
R
Yes
of
October,
there
is
a
statute
that
talks
about
that.
We
are
required
to
have
two
days
that
we
are
not
allowed
to
do
student
contact
on
any
days
that
are
deemed
by
the
state
superintendent
for
professional
development
purposes.
For
many
many
years
that
was
the
North
Dakota
Education
Association
conference.
Then
it
changed
to
the
time
where
the
North
Dakota
Council
of
educational
leaders
conference
was
I,
don't
know
when
it
will
be
or
what
it
will
be
used
for
during
this
calendar,
but
we're
still
required
to
have
those
two
days
off.
A
D
P
D
Q
M
Know
how
I
know
I
can't
make
a
motion.
This
I
have
a
subject.
I
think
should
come
in
to
either
planning
or
governance
or
wherever
it
should
be.
I
would
like
to
see
the
administration
decide
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
staff
picnic
and,
if
and
when
we're,
if
we're
going
to
have
that
large
gathering
at
the
Scheels
arena,
I
think
that
both
of
those
in
light
of
what's
happening,
what
we
don't
know
is
happening
should
be
discussed
and
assumed,
at
least
with
the
Scheels
arena
somewhat.
Something
would
have
to
be
decided
really
quickly.
M
M
P
P
A
J
I
E
B
L
L
C
Others
have
noted
we
had
in
negotiations
meeting
last
week
we're
going
to
meet
again.
The
17th
of
June
I
was
in
communications
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
all
of
our
teachers
and
their
staff
that
have
student
contact.
It's
been
quite
a
year
recognized
what
extraordinary
circumstances
there
were
as
school
is
wrapping
up
this
week
and
what
amazing
job
you've
all
done.
I've
I've
seen
schools
going
above
and
beyond
trying
to
have
some
sort
of
a
transition
for
fifth
graders,
going
to
Middle,
School's
eighth
graders
going
to
high
schools.
C
K
K
What
I'm
hoping
is
that
on
June
9th
that
we'll
have
some
discussion
at
our
board
meeting
regarding
the
communications
committee
and
some
looks
like
some
potential
changes
to
gp7.
So
looking
at
discussing
that
when
we're
doing
our
board
meeting
agenda
planning
when
we
have
our
Governance
Committee
meeting
later
this
week,
we
had
a
good
meeting
today
made
some
good
progress
on
the
purpose
of
the
means
of
the
committee.
I
was
also
at
negotiations
last
week
and
and
observed
at
planning
last
week.
K
Governance
is
this
week,
still
aren't
any
meetings
for
the
Native,
American,
Commission
and
I.
Think
we're
I
think
the
core
neighborhood
steering
committee
is
is
planning
to
still
meet
in
June,
but
I
haven't
heard
for
sure.
As
we're
talking
about
graduation
ceremonies,
I
was
just
happened
to
be
looking
through.
The
newsletter
from
NDS
be
a
the
May
newsletter
and
it's
it's
kind
of
fun.
It
says
here
that
there
will
be
a
statewide
virtual
graduation
ceremony
held
May
30th
and
that
superintendent
Basler
announced
May
30th
2
p.m.
K
Central
time
carried
by
the
in
forum
and
broadcast
on
ABC
affiliates
in
North,
Dakota
I,
don't
know
if
it's
I
would
imagine
it
would
be
accessible
later
for
people
that
can't
watch
it
at
that
time.
So
it
talks
about
that.
There
will
be
remarks
from
governor
burgum,
a
musical
performance
by
Nashville,
recording
artists,
Tigerlily
and
some
special
speakers
that
will
be
presenting.
So
it's
kind
of
a
nice
nice
treat
for
our
students,
hopefully-
and
that's
my
report.
Thank.
A

A
A
Governance
does
meet
zoom,
be
a
zoom
on
Thursday
morning
at
7:30
and
I
had
a
blast
president
mastered
reached
out
and
requested
that
we
participate
in
their
video.
So
I
appreciate
that
opportunity
and
I
did
notice
that
one
a
teacher
named
Patrick
Healy
was
my
teacher
as
seventh
grade
at
Ben
Franklin,
so
either
I'm
really
young
or
he's
really
old,
but
he
was
a
great
guy.
You
had
him
to
brandy
so
but
I
remember
him
very
well.
A
So
that's
a
great
example
of
how
much
what
an
impact
our
teachers
can
make
on
our
lives,
and
we
don't
ever
forget.
So
thank
you
for
that
opportunity.
That
was
that
was
great.
Quite
an
honor
I
believe
that
is
all
I
have,
and
there
is
nothing
else
left
on
the
agenda.
So
our
next
regular
meeting
is
June
9th
we
haven't
decided
in
which
format
yet,
but
who
knows
because
things
change
by
the
hour,
don't
they
so
we'll
hold
to
see
y'all
by
June
9th,
if
not
sooner
have
a
good
evening.
