Description
Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - Live Broadcast - April 14, 2020
A
Okay,
good
evening,
everybody,
we
will
call
this
regular
meeting
of
the
Fargo
school
board
to
order
as
regular
as
they
can
seem,
because
this
is
our
first
virtual
meeting
so
I.
Thank
you
in
advance
for
your
patience
and
if
any
board
members
would
like
to
be
called
upon,
cliche
raise
your
hand,
I
think
that's
the
best
option
since
I
can
see
all
of
you.
We
do
have
an
agenda
at
least
I
have
an
agenda
in
front
of
myself.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
that
Jim
Robin.
C
D
A
E
Thanks
Robin,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
staff
report
for
you
guys
from
FBA.
First
I
want
to
reach
out
and
say
thank
you
to
the
board
members
Brandi
on
a
John,
Road
and
biker
and
Robin
Nelson
for
reaching
over
these
last
few
weeks.
Robin
I
do
apologize
for
not
responding
to
your
email
earlier,
but
I
wanted
everyone
to
hear
the
response
as
to
how
this
new
school
normal
is
going
for
us,
so
there's
definitely
been
challenges
with
distance
learning.
There
have
also
been
a
lot
of
success
stories.
E
Every
single
role
is
within
our
community,
so
the
students
that
have
been
engaging
in
just
learning
have
expressed
joys
of
our
learning
from
home,
as
they
have
found
the
distractions
of
the
learning
environment,
an
asset
that
they
don't
have
to
deal
with
in
their
homes,
while
others
are
extremely
sad
and
miss
school.
With
those
social
aspects,
so
we
truly
know
that
this
time
is
an
experiment
as
we
go
through
an
education
and
we
can
see
how
resilient
these
kids
are
going
to
be,
as
we
cannot
replace
our
real-life
learning
setting.
E
We
know
what
a
valuable
experience
we
are
offering
the
students
during
this
time
in
order
to
try
to
keep
it
as
normal
as
possible,
so
I've
personally
been
staying
up
to
date
from
dpi,
Governor,
burgum,
state
leaders,
our
afl-cio
and
EU
local
governments
and,
of
course,
our
very
own
cabinets.
The
information
has
been
very
overwhelming
at
times,
as
many
of
you
have
probably
felt
the
exact
same
way
and
I
am
so
excited
to
be
able
to
share
this
at
this
time
that
our
cabinet
has
been
extremely
compassionate.
E
Every
single
chance,
I
get
I'm
trying
to
share
with
them
how
dedicated
they
are
and
how
staffs
are
appreciating
that
we
are
honestly
seeing
them
lead
with
their
hearts,
and
they
are
thinking
of
all
the
people
involved
in
this
process.
I
would
also
like
to
take
this
time
to
express
the
relief
that
many
of
our
employees
felt
when
the
school
board
made
the
boat
to
continue
to
pay
all
staff
through
this
time.
So
many
of
our
staff
are
now
relying
on
the
single
income,
as
many
of
their
family
members
or
partners
have
been
laid
off.
E
So
this
goes
to
show
how
much
you
value
your
staff
and
Fargo
public
schools.
But
as
we
look
at
the
agenda
tonight,
we
see
that
there
is
a
vote
on
a
potential
new
school
I
understand.
You
want
to
conduct
business
as
normal
during
this
pandemic
and
that
the
public
not
having
access
to
this
meeting
to
speak.
Do
you
think
it's
the
best
time
to
conduct
such
an
important
decision?
E
Transparency
has
been
a
key
rubbing
point
with
our
community
and
staff
over
the
last
few
years,
roughly
a
60
million
dollar
building
decision
held
on
virtual
meeting.
Is
this
the
decision
that
you
will
have
to
make
to
show
your
guys's
leadership?
Please
know
if
and
when
you
make
the
boat
FBA
is
still
very
concerned.
You
talk
about
the
tight
budgets,
the
deficit
spending.
E
We
know
that
the
building
a
new
budget,
many
dollars
from
the
general
fund
to
pay
for
necessities
like
the
people
in
the
buildings,
you
simply
have
stated
you
can't
afford
the
staff
that
you
have
through
these
negotiation
talks
the
last
three
years.
This
message
you
are
sending
to
the
community
and
to
your
staff
is
very
contradictory.
E
Looking
ahead,
we
also
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
very
important
vote,
first
community
to
review
that's
that
mill
levy
vote,
that's
going
to
be
happening
in
six
to
seven
years,
though
I
personally
feel
it's
very
important
that
school
districts
be
able
to
build
buildings
when
they
need
them.
I
also
feel
it
has
to
be
absolutely
necessary.
Our
community
deserves
a
strong
voice
in
crafting
that
timeline
and
deserves
to
be
heard.
E
We
ask
that
we
take
pause
and
reflect
on
what
is
best
in
the
here-and-now
what
is
best
for
students
what
is
best
for
the
health
of
our
district?
What
is
best
for
the
future
of
Fargo
as
a
whole,
your
actions
and
decisions
will
send
a
ripple
through
the
community,
as
I
know,
they
are
watching
your
actions
closely
tonight.
Thank
you.
F
F
I
won
the
first
just
by
starting
with
our
entire
business
services
department
and
then
our
nutrition
services
department
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job
of
just
making
sure
that
our
first
priority
as
soon
as
we
knew
that
students
weren't
going
to
be
into
our
buildings
was
to
make
sure
that
our
students
are
fed.
We
continue
to
adapt
and
change
our
process
on
a
week-to-week
basis
based
on
the
need
and
the
demand
for
our
community,
but
then
also
on
the
level
of
threat
with
kovat
19.
F
So
you
may
have
seen
that
this
past
week
we
adjust
it
to
a
Monday,
Wednesday,
Friday
schedule
and
part
of
that
is
to
get
on
a
more
consistent
rotation
and
limit
the
exposure
of
new
staff
as
well
following
CDC
guidelines.
We're
also
making
sure
that
our
nutrition
staff,
nutrition
staff
workers
are
all
masked
and
have
gloves
and
are
all
following
the
appropriate
social
distancing
guidelines
as
well.
So
as
of
last,
we
were
averaging
about
1,300
breakfast
and
lunch
meals
a
day.
F
I
know
the
last
couple
of
days:
we've
been
north
of
1500
and
1400
as
well,
so
we're
continuing
to
see
success
with
our
program
and
we're
continuing
to
develop
and
provide
more
meals
for
as
many
people
as
we
can,
while
trying
to
minimize
our
staff
exposure.
So
it
is
a
huge
burden
on
Cindy
and
her
entire
team,
but
I
know
that
you've
supported
by
our
entire
business
service
department,
so
I
just
wanted
to
commend
them
for
the
work
that
they're
doing.
F
F
Our
Fargo
public
schools,
Teacher
of
the
Year
Kimmy
Milken,
is
a
student
performance
strategist
at
Eagles
elementary
school,
and
we
had
the
opportunity
to,
fortunately,
with
the
support
of
our
family,
surprised
her
on
her
front
lawn
at
her
home
I
do
want
to
know
our
IT
department,
our
communications
department
and
Marines,
specifically
for
still
being
able
to
find
a
way
to
acknowledge
our
staff
member,
but,
most
importantly,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Kimmy.
If
you've
ever
had
a
chance
to
see
her
in
action.
F
F
F
It
was
put
together
in
a
two-week
short
period
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
from
FDA
today
as
well,
and
I
also
appreciate
the
comments
that
we've
received
from
our
superintendent
steering
cabinet
group
that
we
met
with
last
week,
they're
continuing
to
give
feedback
and
for
the
most
part,
although
we've
heard
different
challenges
here
and
there,
whether
they
reach
from
rigor
or
accessibility.
Overall,
the
feedbacks
been
it
has
been
pretty
very
positive,
and
that
really
is
an
exemplification
of
our
teacher.
F
Our
staff
members
and
the
amount
of
work
that
we're
doing
so
distance
learning
is
going
really
well
in
Fargo
Public
Schools.
We
continue
to
make
tweaks
and
adjustments
to
provide
those
individualized
needs,
as
we
can,
but
like
we're
also
said,
we
know
that
this
almost
forces
us
into
a
situation
to
provide
a
one-size-fits-all
instructional
model
and
that's
not
an
ideal
model,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
not
trying
to
replicate
or
duplicate
instruction,
as
if
students
were
in
our
building.
F
We
just
know
that
we
can't
do
that
we're
trying
to
provide
the
best
education
we
can
under
these
circumstances,
and
we
have
feedback
from
family
members
that
are
at
the
elementary
level
saying
that
we
can't
we
don't
have
the
opportunity
or
the
time
to
get
through
the
boards,
and
then
we
have
feedback
from
other
staff.
Members
are
saying
my
child
is
able
to
complete
these
assignments
in
five
minutes,
so
we're
going
to
continue
working
on
our
plan,
but
really
try
to
see
how
can
we
provide
the
best
environment
for
everyone?
F
Several
of
our
teachers,
several
of
our
staff
members,
are
also
young
parents
or
they
might
have
multiple
children
that
they
are
also
watching
for
at
home
and
we're
continuing
to
put
expectations
on
them
for
teaching
a
class
or
doing
office
hours,
and
while
they
are
passionate
and
dedicated,
they
also
have
family
obligations
during
this
time
as
well,
and
making
sure
that
they're.
Looking
after
their
kids,
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
our
staff
and
say
that
you
guys
are
doing
a
wonderful
job.
Lastly,
I
really
want
to
commend
bill
and
our
IT
department.
F
Switching
to
distance
learning
has
put
a
lot
of
work
onto
onto
our
IT
department
and
the
amount
of
work
that
they
do
behind
the
scenes
is
is
beyond
amazing.
Not
only
did
they
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
switch
the
distance
learning
in
a
two-week
period.
Allow
our
high
school
staff
to
use
the
flexibility
of
whatever
LMS
that
they
want
to
do
come
up
with
a
consistent
model
for
middle
school.
F
Some
of
the
things
that
we
may
not
consider
that's
not
talked
about
often
switching
to
distance
learning
is
we
have
a
limited
amount
of
IT
equipment
that
we
budget
for
year
after
year,
our
supply
chain
for
replacement
equipment
is
based
out
of
China.
So
at
this
time
also
that's
gonna
be
delayed,
so
managing.
How
do
you
allocate
resources
and
still
provide
access
for
all
of
our
students
and
families
is
important,
they've
done
a
great
job
of
that
I
know.
F
F
Zoom
is
because,
when
that,
when
we
had
to
decide
to
switch
the
distance
learning
very
quickly
bill
and
the
IT
team
tried
out
Microsoft
team,
zoom
and
other
platforms
on
all
of
our
student
devices
and
said
what
works
and
at
that
time,
zoom
was
a
most
successful
and
seamless
piece.
We
know
that
zooms
gotten
a
lot
of
attention,
because
it's
one
of
the
most
popular
platforms
in
terms
of
security
threats
him
and
his
team
have
been
continuously
on
top
of
that
to
address
any
concerns,
and
there
haven't
been
many
concerns
since
implementation.
F
We
know
that
zoom
has
since
then
upgraded
their
own
security
features
as
well.
We
are
encouraging
our
staff
members
to
record
sessions
as
well,
if,
if
that's
going
to
help
with
any
potential
concerns,
but
also
know
that
our
IT
department
has
a
plan
B
and
with
some
changes
in
being
able
to
compress
data,
Microsoft
teams
might
be
an
option
that
they
can
work
with
and
they're
gonna
continue
to
work
on
that
and
make
the
adjustments
necessary
as
well.
F
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
as
a
district
are
using
zoom,
but
it's
important
to
know
that
in
the
first
couple
of
weeks
that
hasn't
been
a
concern
for
us
and
it
has
worked
pretty
seamlessly
and
we've
gotten
good
feedback
from
our
teachers
and
from
our
students
as
well.
So
I
just
wanted
to
end
by
acknowledging
bill
and
our
IT
team
and
just
saying
across
the
board.
We
have
a
incredible
staff
and
thank
you
to
all
of
them
for
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
provide
a
meaningful
learning
experience
for
our
students.
A
Thank
you,
dr.
Gandhi,
for
that
great
report.
It's
been,
it's
been
a
ride.
These
last
couple
of
weeks
and
I
appreciate
all
the
technology
as
well,
and
the
work
behind
the
scenes
and
our
staff
is,
is
incredible.
They
really
are.
Thank
you
for
all
you
that
you
do.
We
do
have
a
consent.
Agenda
in
front
of
us
with
an
HR
addendum
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
A
A
Opposed
no
those
items
have
been
approved.
Thank
you
item
5a
in
the
business
section
and
long-range
facility
planning
new
school
in
South
Fargo,
the
order
of
discussion
tonight.
Dr.
Gandhi
would
like
to
share
a
little
bit
of
history
and
staff,
share
some
reports
and
then
maybe
we
can
move
to
Christy
and
she
can
make
introductions
from
the
planning
committee
and
bring
it
to
the
floor
for
discussion.
So
I
will
turn
it
over
to
dr.
Gandhi
and
his
team.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
Robin
I'm,
just
gonna
start
with
providing
a
brief
history
of
where
we
are
and
how
we
got
to
this
agenda
item
for
the
board
to
consider
today
and
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
dr.
gross
he's
gonna
screen
share
and
provide
some
greater
context
as
well.
I
think
that's
important
to
note
that
this
conversation
started
July
of
2017,
even
prior
to
my
time
in
Fargo
public
schools,
when
there
was
a
conversation
around.
What
are
we
going
to
do
with
increasing
enrollment
on
the
south
side
of
town?
F
The
numbers
that
we
were
using
all
of
our
projections
even
to
this
day
are
based
off
of
our
SPS
projection,
and
we
know
that
there
we
do
their
enrollment
and
their
enrollment.
Reports
are
coming
five
years
in
advance
and
we
know
that
their
accuracy
is
more
accurate.
The
closer
you
are
to
the
time
of
the
projection,
regardless
of
whether
you
look
at
their
accuracy
from
five
years
out
a
ninety
four
percent
to
one
year
out
with
its
99
point
something
percent.
F
What
you
will
see
is
a
continuous
increase
in
enrollment
on
the
south
side
of
town,
and
one
of
the
things
that
dr.
gross
will
outline
is
that
Davies
and
discovery
continue
to
show
more
and
more
students.
So
for
that
reason
we
had
gone
to
a
taskforce
last
year
and
really
took
a
look
at
boundary.
Changes
based
on
the
guiding
principles
that
the
board
had
approved
in
the
long-range
facilities
plan
at
that
time
to
determine
the
amount
of
students
that
can
fit
into
a
building.
We
use
capacity
and
capacity
prior
to
2017
in
Fargo.
F
Public
Schools
was
just
defined
on
a
formula
that,
based
on
the
X
amount
of
square
footage
that
you
have
in
a
building.
This
is
how
many
kids
you
can
fit
in
a
standard
formula
in
2017
at
that
time.
Dr.
gross
and
dr.
agree
walked
all
of
our
buildings
and
determined
a
new
capacity,
and
that
capacity
took
into
account
specialized
programs.
F
Well,
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
really
came
out
when
we
presented
to
the
ball
when
we
presented
the
top
two
recommendations
from
that
task
force
for
boundary
changes.
We
realized
that
it
wasn't
as
simple
as
just
changing
boundaries,
so
you
can
get
more
kids
at
two,
for
example,
South
High
School.
Instead
of
Davies,
we
realized
that
one
of
the
things
that
would
happen
is
it
be
a
two
step
boundary
change.
F
The
reason
for
that
is
Carl
Ben
Eielson
middle
school
is
one
of
our
smallest
middle
schools
in
terms
of
physical
space,
but
then
it
feeds
into
South
High
School,
which
is
one
of
our
largest
schools
in
terms
of
physical
space.
So,
in
order
to
do
boundary,
changes
and
make
some
changes
where
we
wouldn't
have
to
build
a
new
building,
a
couple
of
things
would
happen.
We
would
not
only
have
to
shift
students
in
the
discovery
attendance
area
to
Carl
Ben
Eielson,
but
then
to
free
up
some
more
room.
F
We'd
have
to
shift
students
from
Carl,
Ben
Eielson
up
to
Ben
Franklin
middle
school
that
will
result
in
some
of
the
students
traveling
further
or
even
past,
their
closest
neighbor
at
school,
going
to
the
next
school.
The
other
thing
that
would
be
a
consideration
if
we
go
forward
with
boundary
changes
is
that
we
would
have
to
split
up
students,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
keep
cohorts
of
secondary
students
together,
for
example,
Discovery's,
eighth
graders.
F
Some
of
those
group
of
eighth
graders
may
have
to
go
to
a
South
High
School,
whereas
others
would
have
to
go
to
Davies,
and
these
are
part
of
the
recommendations
that
we
had
presented
to
the
board
to
alleviate
some
of
the
enrollment
concerns
at
that
time.
At
that
work
session,
the
board
asked
administration
to
go
back
and
explore
another
option
that
wouldn't
backfill,
Ben,
Franklin
or
North
High
School,
meaning
that
wouldn't
allow
a
two
step.
Boundary
change
explore
options
that
would
keep
secondary
cohorts
of
students
together
and
the
board
also
told
us
at
that
time.
F
Although
South
High
School
is
built
to
have
north
of
1415
hundred
students,
we
don't
want
the
school
to
be
that
large,
so
based
off
of
those
parameters.
At
that
work
session,
we
have
come
back
to
the
board
and
taken
those
guiding
principles
which
some
of
you
adopted
in
the
long-range
facilities
plan
and
said.
F
We
boundaries
are
still
on
the
table
as
an
an
option,
but
the
considerations
are
some
of
those
things
that
you,
edit
told
us
to
explore
and
the
board
work
session,
which
I
mentioned
so
that
has
kind
of
led
us
to
the
recommendation
that
we
are
bringing
today.
Based
on
the
guidance.
That's
given
us
to
a
board
as
administration.
You
know,
our
biggest
priority
is
just
didn't,
have
know
what
the
long-term
vision
for
the
for
the
Fargo
school
board
is.
F
We
know
that
we
are
gonna,
be
able
to
serve
our
kids,
and
we
know
that
we
have
incredible
staff
to
be
able
to
serve
the
kids.
But
at
the
same
point
we
also
need
to
be
able
to
answer
to
say
what
is
our
plan
to
address
a
continual
growth
on
the
south
side
of
town
when
we
have
a
linear
City?
And
what
is
that
going
to
look
like
if
we
continue
to
show
more
growth
on
the
south
side
of
town
and
that's
what
the
trend
is
showing.
F
I
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
What
I'd
like
to
do
today
is
just
share
with
you,
some
information
to
provide
some
context
and
some
data
around
what
dr.
Gandhi
was
just
discussing
with
you
and
the
first
set
of
data
that
I
like
to
share
with
you
looks
at
that
feeder
system
that
mentioned
and
what
that
could
or
should
look
like.
If
we
went
with
a
a
for
middle
school
and
for
comprehensive
high
schools,
we
would
have
our
fifth
high
school
of
Woodrow
Wilson,
but
this
would
be
for
comprehensive,
high
schools.
I
I
I
The
enrollment
trend,
so
on
this
chart
you
can
see
back
in
2011-12
is
the
blue
line
on
the
chart
and
it
just
plots
for
you
opening
day
attendance
at
that
facility
and
then,
each
month,
what
the
number
of
students
were
at
Discovery
then
from
there
we've
added
a
series
of
lines,
one
for
each
of
the
school
years.
That
came
after
that,
so
the
2012-13
data
is
provided
in
the
orange
line
and
you
can
see
between
those
two
years.
I
I
There
was
a
series
of
boundary
changes
that
were
put
into
place
put
into
practice
and
what
you'll
notice
is
that
next
school
year,
which
would
be
1617,
there
was
actually
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
students
at
discovery
middle
school.
So
the
boundary
changes
did
exactly
what
they
intended
to
do,
which
was
to
reduce
the
number
of
students
in
that
facility
and
then,
as
the
next
series
of
years,
progressed
17
18,
18
19.
You
can
see
each
year
after
that
we
have
increased
in
the
number
of
students
at
discovery
middle
school
on
the
chart.
I
I
The
next
set
of
data
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
is
a
very
similar
look,
so
I
will
not
take
that
the
same
amount
of
time
to
go
over
it
with
you,
but
as
similar
look
at
the
number
of
students
at
Davies
high
school,
the
same
colors
are
associated
with
the
different
school
years,
starting
with
2011-12
in
blue,
and
then
you
can
see,
as
each
year
is
added
to
the
chart.
The
number
of
students
continually
increases.
I
F
I
The
next
piece
of
data
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
just
gives
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
true
feeder
system
and
the
impact
that
that
has
on
what
dr.
Gandhi
mentioned
around
capacity.
So
in
the
Fargo
public
schools.
This
happens
to
be
our
current
boundaries
for
our
middle
schools
and
high
schools,
and
if
we
then
laid
on
the
top
of
that,
where
our
different
schools
are
located,
I
tried
to
pull
them
out
with
a
little
bit
bigger
icon.
I
So
it's
easier
to
see
where
they're
physically
located
in
our
community
but
over
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
that
screen
you'll
see
a
chart
that
lists
our
different
secondary
buildings,
the
capacity
that
we
started
the
conversation
around,
and
that
was
based
upon
what
dr.
Gandhi
mentioned,
where,
multiple
years
ago,
as
we
went
through
the
building
and
said
which
of
the
classrooms,
are
available
for
true
classroom
spaces,
which
ones
are
there
for
our
ancillary
spaces
and
so
on.
I
Then,
as
we
had
the
conversation
around
a
true
feeder
system
where
all
the
students,
for
example,
from
Carl
Ben
Eielson,
would
attend,
Fargo,
south
or
all
of
the
students
had
Ben
Franklin
would
go
to
North
High
School.
The
idea
was
what,
if
then,
in
the
future,
the
long-range
secondary
school
configuration
plan
was
one
more
middle
school
and
more
high-school.
The
new
middle
school
then
would
feed
Davies
high
school
and
that
new
high
school
would
be
fed
by
Discovery
middle
school.
I
So
to
share
an
example
of
that,
this
is
a
how
we
looked
at
if
Carl
Ben
Eielson
was
a
true
feeder
to
Fargo,
South
and
that's
you'll,
see
the
capacity
at
Fargo.
South
was
updated
to
1112.
That
was
based
upon
the
fact
that
Carl
Ben
Eielson
it
being
the
smaller
of
the
two
buildings.
Its
capacity
is
835
students
and
in
a
perfect
world
we
have
three
grade
levels
there
and
we
said
each
grade
level
is
the
exact
same
number
of
students,
so
835
divided
by
three
we
would
say
each
grade
level
would
be
278
students.
I
Now
we
know
that
that
doesn't
happen.
Where
sometimes
one
grade
level
will
be
larger.
One
will
be
a
little
bit
smaller,
just
based
upon
our
community,
but
for
capacity
we
said:
let's,
let's
eat
divided
the
capacity
of
Carl
Ben
Eielson
by
three
get
that
278
and
now
that
South
High
School
has
one
more
grade
level
multiplied
at
278
by
for
ninth
grade
10th
grade
11th
grade
and
our
seniors
to
come
up
with
that
capacity
of
1112.
I
If
we
then
compare
that
to
just
the
capacity
of
the
building
just
number
of
classrooms,
multiplied
by
26,
you
see
that
we
do
then
or
would
have
extra
capacity
at
Fargo,
South,
High
School,
that's
where
down
the
road.
The
conversation
would
be
if
this
was
to
become
the
reality.
What
would
we
do
with
that
extra
capacity
at
Fargo
South,
High
School?
I
Then,
if
a
new
middle
school
was
built
to
feed
Davies
high
school,
what
should
that
capacity
of
the
middle
school
be
well?
This
time
we
started
with
how
big
Davies
is
and
worked
backwards,
Davies
high
school
being
built
for
the
capacity
of
1350.
If
you
divide
that
by
four
and
say
in
a
perfect
world,
each
of
those
grade
levels
is
equal.
You'd
have
337
students.
You
now
multiply
that
by
three
one,
four,
six
one
four
seventh
and
one
for
eighth-
and
you
would
see
the
target
capacity
for
a
new
middle
school
would
be
1011.
I
I
I
So
then
that
would
look
at
that
long
range
configuration
for
our
secondary
schools.
The
chart
on
the
graph
on
the
right
show
those
new
capacities
based
upon
a
true
feeder
system
and
then
lastly,
the
piece
that
we
talked
about
is
if
a
new
building
was
created
like
dr.
Gandhi
mentioned,
and
it
started
out
as
an
eighth
and
ninth
grade
center,
so
that
the
eighth
grade,
students
from
Discovery
and
the
ninth
grade
students
from
Davies
would
start
there
to
address
the
continued
growing
enrollment
on
the
south
side
of
town.
I
How
long
would
it
be
until
we
potentially
may
need
to
build
then
that
fourth
high
school?
Well,
according
to
the
long
range
facility
plan?
It
says
that
you
our
system,
would
build
that
next
building,
when
approximately
50%
of
the
students
are
there
ready
for
it
to
be
built.
So
I
think
the
targets
then,
would
be
under
this
scenario.
I
When
Discovery's
attendance
area,
the
6th,
7th
and
8th
graders
got
to
a
number
of
about
1,500
and
17,
which
would
be
the
capacity
of
discovery
plus
the
additional
half
of
its
capacity
or
the
attendance
at
Davies
high
school
got
to
2025
the
capacity
of
davies
high
school
at
1350
and
half
of
that
capacity.
That
might
be,
then
be
the
time
to
have
those
conversations
of
when
that
could
or
should
be
built.
I
So
the
data
I've
started
with
looked
at.
Why
and
the
growth
in
the
south
part
of
town,
the
second
set
of
data
I
shared
with
you,
looked
at
the
information
on
that
feeder
system.
The
last
piece
of
data
I
wanted
to
share
with
you,
so
that
you
could
have
conversations
tonight
would
be
to
look
at
what
would
this
do
with
our
current
students
on
the
south
side
of
town?
So
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you
is
a
lot
of
data,
but
what
it
is
is
in
November
or
I'm.
I
Sorry,
February
near
the
end
of
the
month.
We
ran
a
report
and
said
count
all
of
the
kindergarten
students
who
are
in
the
discovery
or
Davies
high
school
attendance
area,
and
we
found
in
the
cell
c2.
There
are
385
current
kindergarteners
who
live
in
that
Davies
discovery
attendance
area.
We
ran
another
report
for
first
grade
and
second
and
third,
so
this
column
C,
is
the
current
number
of
students
living
in
that
discovery,
Davies
attendance
area
by
grade
level.
I
The
reason
we
ran
that
data
was
to
begin
to
say,
okay,
what
does
this
look
like
in
one
year
or
two
years
or
three
years
based
upon
those
buildings,
so
in
the
pink?
That's
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you,
you'll
see
for
the
2020
21
school
year
next
year.
If
we
took
this
year's
fifth,
sixth
and
seventh
grade
students
added
the
number
together
that
would
be
1100
now.
This
does
not
factor
in
any
students
who
may
move
into
our
district
or
move
out
of
our
district.
I
It's
just
the
current
number
of
students
at
that
time
in
twenty
twenty
one,
twenty
two.
This
is
now
the
current
fourth
fifth
and
sixth
grade
students
in
twenty
twenty
two
twenty
three
is
current
third,
fourth
and
fifth,
and
so
one
so
we're
trying
to
see.
Currently
what
are
those
numbers
of
students
who
would
be
at
that
facility,
then
in
row?
I
The
reason
I
did,
that
was
to
finally
say
if
a
new
building
was
created
and
it
housed
eighth
and
ninth
grade
students,
how
many
students
might
be
in
that
building
how
many
students
might
be
in
Discovery
middle
school
if
it
was
six
and
seven
and
how
many
students
would
be
at
Davies
high
school
if
they
were
tenth,
eleventh
or
twelfth
grade.
So
in
this
set
of
data
from
rows
22
through
27,
it
basically
just
adds
together
for
20
21.
I
I
Eighth
and
ninth
graders
and
at
Davies
high
school
there'd
be
960
students
and
then
projected
that
out.
As
far
as
we
could
and
we
had
to
stop
at
20
26
27,
because
that
year,
actually,
if
moving
forward,
that
would
be
current
preschoolers
current
kindergarteners
and
for
current
first
graders,
and
we
don't
have
the
number
of
preschoolers
across
our
entire
system
in
the
Davey's
discovery
area.
So
that's
as
far
as
that
data
would
go,
but
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
size
of
those
buildings
based
upon
our
current
students.
I
The
last
thing
I'd
like
to
share
is
the
question
might
come
well.
We
know
that
that
is
an
area
of
town
that
is
growing
and
what
is
the
typical
growth
rate
in
that
part
of
our
community
well,
over
the
last
eight
years
on
average,
both
babies
or
Discovery
over
some
ups
and
downs,
but
on
average
each
year,
they've
grown
about
two
and
a
half
percent.
I
When
it
comes
to
the
number
of
students
who
are
in
the
school,
so
I
ran
Dida
if
we
then
increased
it
by
1%
2%
or
getting
close
to
that
two
and
a
half
percent
to
see
what
that
might
be,
based
upon
an
average
increase
in
the
number
of
students
in
that
catchment
area
on
the
south
part
of
town.
So
the
numbers
vary
not
dramatically,
but
by
about
15
students
in
the
sixth
and
seventh
AB,
and
by
approximately
twenty
in
the
eighth
and
ninth
band,
and
by
about
twenty
four
students
in
at
that
high
school
band.
I
B
Bob,
can
you
can
you
hear
me
Bob,
yes,
that
last
set
of
data
where
you
looked
at
kindergartners
in
Discovery,
Davies
attendance
area,
catchment
area
and
move
them
forward?
Have
you
by
chance
Thanh
that
same
thing
with
the
South
CBE
catchment
areas
and
the
North
Ben
Franklin
catchment
areas
to
see
what
those
student
populations
are
projected
to
do?
Based
on
our
current
kindergartners
in
the
feeder
systems,
I
have.
I
B
Just
think
it
would
be
helpful
because
one
of
the
pieces
that
I
think
we're
all
aware
of
is
we
want
to
maintain
enough
students
at
both
North
and
South
to
have
comparable
education,
quality
and
I.
Just
would
like
to
know
what
you
know.
If
we
don't
change
boundaries,
if
we
instead
choose
to
build,
what
does
that
look
like
for
South
and
North
going
forward,
I.
I
B
A
D
If
we
don't
redraw
the
lines
and
how
are
we
going
to
maintain
the
same
degree
of
rigor
in
Arkham
in
our
curriculum,
if
we
don't
have
the
students
up
there
and
if
we
find,
as
these
years
Gould
forward
that
we
fund
that
the
enrollment
in
north
is
falling
even
further?
That's
information
I'd
find
I'd
really
like
to
know
before.
I
am.
C
A
C
F
Correct
the
recommendations-
I,
don't
remember
all
of
the
scenarios
I
think
there
were
13
scenarios
and
we
went
through
at
a
work
session
and
there
was
yeah
you
identified
by
the
task
force.
I,
don't
remember
them
all
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
there
were
some
and
one
of
the
concerns
expressed
by
boy
that
work
session
was
around.
F
Is
it
gonna?
Have
kids
go
past
one
school
to
get
to
the
other,
essentially
I
think
the
term
that
was
used
at
that
time
was
backfilling
and
it
would
require
that
and
I
think
we
also
did
have
a
conversation
around.
What
would
be
what
we
would
we
want
target
numbers
to
be
up
for
north
or
south
I.
Think
it's
a
very
legitimate
question
to
ask:
what
is
that
their
future
enrollment
gonna,
look
like
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
dr.
F
C
F
A
I
would
add
to
a
lot
of
people
are
asking.
Why
don't
you
just
add
on
to
Davies
your
discovery
and
I
wouldn't
remind
everybody,
that's
listening.
The
reason
we
built
Davies
is
because
the
class
size
has
got
so
large
itself,
high
and
I
as
a
single
board
member.
Don't
want
our
classes
to
get
that
large.
So
adding
on
for
me
is
it
is
it's
something
that
I
wouldn't
support,
because
I
want
to
keep
those
quiet,
those
graduating
class
sizes,
smaller
I,
remember
a
class
size
of
582
graduating
the
last
big
class
at
South
High.
A
K
I'd
like
to
add
something
on
to
what
you've
just
said:
I
think
in
the
best
interest
of
the
kids
and
teachers
at
both
Discovery
and
Davies,
to
keep
those
class
sizes
lower.
Even
there
I
mean
that
I
think
that's
really
critical.
We
want
to
be
able
to
provide
the
opportunities
for
those
children
at
those
two
schools
as
well.
J
We'll
just
to
give
you
a
little
background
information
or
some
reminders
and
how
we
would
anticipate
pain
for
this
project.
Should
you
choose
to
go
forward
with
it?
We
did
build
this
potential
middle
school
into
our
long-range
financial
plan
that
we
have
recently
updated
just
this
past
winter,
and
the
building
fund
does
have
the
capacity
currently
to
issue
bonds
to
cover
the
costs
of
this
project
and
the
costs
are
included
as
part
of
the
memo
so
just
wanted
to
let
you
know.
J
You
know
just
basing
it
roughly
on
what
discovery
is
for
for
them
the
main
operating
which
to
me
would
be.
You
know
your
your
maintenance
and
operations
side,
as
well
as
probably
the
administrative
and
office
side,
so
not
anything
with
the
instructional
side.
That
would
be
about
1.6
million
dollars
a
year
now
and
then
we'd
have
to
factor
in
the
other
costs
of
any
additional.
J
Don't
I
don't
have
the
number
for
the
teaching
staff
Robin
Aston
operational,
so
it
was
just
operational.
You
know,
I
think
teaching
staff
some
are
already
would
at
the
time
that
this
would
open
would
already
be
on
staff
serving
the
kids
in
that
discovery
and
Devi.
So
we
would
have
to
I'd
have
to
look
at
further
to
see
what
the
potential
additional
staff
would
be
from
that
instruction
side
and
maybe
para
support
side.
D
D
Jackie
this
one
point:
six
million
dollars
in
operational
that
would
have
to
come
out
of
the
general
fund,
we're
no
longer
talking
building
fund.
There
are
we
that's
correct
and
we're
operating
this
year
on.
In
with
what
looks
like
a
deficit
budget
is,
do
we
have
projected
increased
revenue
so
that,
by
the
time
that
building
is
up
and
functioning
we're
going
to
be
able
to
fund
it.
J
M
A
B
M
You
I
guess
this
would
be
for
administration
I'm
wondering,
as
we've
been
kind
of
forced
to
operate
in
a
new
way,
educationally
I'm
certain
that
some
things
will
go.
You
know
go
back
to
being
the
same,
but
we'll
probably
be
looking
at
discovering
some
other
ways
of
offering
education
in
our
districts.
Probably
all
across
the
nation.
Has
there
been.
Has
the
administration
had
any
time
to
have
conversations
regarding
different
opportunities
for
offering
an
educational
model
that
might
somehow
affect
the
decision
to
either
change
boundaries
or
build
a
new
school.
F
Great
question
Rebecca
I,
think
just
starting
with
this
distance
learning
environment
that
we're
in
right
now
we're
going
to
continue
to
learn
from
this
and
I
think
our
vision
as
an
administration
is
to
provide
as
many
students
as
an
opportunity
as
we
can
down
the
road
I
even
know
of
some
staff
members
and
some
teachers
I've
talked
to
their
building
principals
about.
Can
we
look
at
distance
learning
models
down
the
road?
What
we
don't
know
is
the
uncertainty
right.
F
Even
we
can't
sit
here
today
and
say
well,
distance
learning
is
an
option,
so
we
might
not
need
as
many
physics,
students
and
physically
into
a
building,
because
a
the
environment
that
we're
in
currently
required
a
governor's
executive
order
to
suspend
century
code
requirements
which
so
there
would
be
legislative
actions
for
allows
to
do
distance
learning
down
the
road,
but
then.
Secondly,
we
are
also
currently
providing
education
in
an
environment
where
the
majority
of
parents
are
also
at
home.
F
If
that
is
not
a
requirement
in
the
with
a
threat
of
kovat
19,
are
we
going
to
have
as
many
students
and
parents
and
families
choosing
to
take
advantage
of
a
distance
learning
opportunity,
even
if
it
were
offered
in
our
district
and
versus
physically
being
there
and
then
also?
What
do
we
physically
offer
when
we
offer
a
distance
learning
only
environment
or
when
we
so
expect
those
students
to
come
into
our
buildings?
F
At
some
point
because,
like
I
said
before
this
learning,
environment
is
very
different
than
what
we
traditionally
offer
just
the
biggest
advantage
that
we
have
right
now
going
into
distance
learning
is
that
our
teaching
staff
at
least
have
the
opportunity,
until
the
start
of
the
school
year
until
March
to
build
relationships
with
kids
and
families?
What
does
that
look
like
if
there
was
a
distance
learning
only
school?
You
know
the
closest
comparison.
Currently,
we
have
is
Woodrow
Wilson,
which
has
online
component
mixed
with
face-to-face
component.
So
at
that
point
it's
hard
to
generalize.
F
Well,
if
distance
learning
is
a
thing
of
the
future,
we're
not
going
to
have
a
need
for
buildings.
I
can't
make
that
statement.
The
same
thing
goes
with
looking
at
specialized
programs
like
dr.
gross
talked
about
whether
it's
do.
We
want
to
try
to
get
more
students
to
go
to
north
or
Ben
Franklin
or
South,
by
offering
some
specialized
program
opportunities.
F
We
just
don't
have
that
data,
and
even
if
we
were
to
survey
our
parents,
we
kind
of
did
that
last
year
with
the
state
of
the
schools.
We
even
talked
about
language
immersion,
and
that
was
something
that
was
brought
to
the
board
as
well
and
and
the
response
at
that
work
session
from
the
board.
Was
we
don't
want
to
use
that
as
an
opportunity
to
try
to
backfill
or
try
to
guarantee
kids,
because
we
can't
make
that
guarantee.
B
B
So
part
of
me
thinks
this
is
not
the
best
environment
to
make
this
decision
in
it
may
be
the
only
environment
we
get
to
use
going
forward.
So
I'm
not
going
to
say
we
should
never
make
a
decision
like
this
in
a
virtual
meeting,
because
I
don't
know
what
the
future
is
going
to
bring
part
of
the
future.
I
do
know,
though,
is
I,
think
our
revenue
is
going
to
be
taxed.
B
I
suspect
the
shutdown
on
the
economic
activities
in
the
state,
and
certainly
the
price
of
a
barrel
of
oil,
are
going
to
impact
the
state
revenues
dramatically
and
I.
Don't
know
when
that's
going
to
turn
around
so
I
have
no
illusion
that
we're
going
to
have
one
incredible
increase
in
foundation
aid
when
the
legislative
session
gets
done
next
time
around
I,
also
kind
of
think
we're
going
to
see
delinquency
rates
on
local
property
taxes
go
up
just
based
upon
the
disruption
economically
to
so
many
households.
B
Perhaps
some
of
you,
but
certainly
our
friends
and
neighbors
as
well
so
I
think
we
have
an
unknown
revenue
future
in
terms
of
what
is
our
forecast
for
growth.
I.
Think
Jackie
has
done
an
outstanding
job,
keeping
track
of
what's
going
on
in
the
past
and
projecting
that
forward,
but
I
think
she'd
be
the
first
to
admit
there
could
be
some
game
changers
going
on
with
all
of
this
that
are
going
to
slow
down
the
rate
of
growth,
potentially
maybe
even
have
a
negative
year
on
our
projected
revenue.
B
L
K
A
G
Which,
which
motion
are
you
trying?
Are
you
saying
it
is?
Are
you
trying
to
say
it's
tabled
like
laying
it
temporarily
aside?
That's
usually
just
laying
it
aside
for
a
portion
of
the
meeting.
The
other
option
is
to
postpone
to
a
certain
time.
Those
are
your
two
motions
to
what
is
commonly
referred
to
as
tabeling
it
and.
A
A
G
A
M
I'm
supporting
this
I
was
my
comments
were
going
to
be
that
had
the
motion
that
was
on
our
memo
for
today
been
made.
I
was
planning
to
vote
no
on
that
motion,
basically
for
conversation,
Jim
that
you
brought
up
today,
not
that
I
am
against
the
proposal
or
against
another
solution,
such
as
boundary
changes,
but
I
think
that
the
timing
of
this
is
quite
challenging
for
us.
I
do
appreciate
the
motion
of
you
know
trying
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
this.
M
Have
this
discussion
in
person
I
also
believe
that,
as
we
all
know
where
we
have
so
much
uncertainty
going
on
not
only
in
the
school
district,
but
the
nation
in
the
world
and
I'm
pretty
certain,
we
all
wish
that
we
weren't
facing
this
uncertainty,
but
I
am
not
comfortable
supporting
what
might
have
been
the
motion
back
in
February
on
February
21st
when
we
had
our
work
session.
I
was
very
supportive
of
us
moving
forward
with
looking
at
another
middle
school,
as
is
being
presented
to
us
today,
but
that
was
that
was
such
a
different
time.
M
N
And
I
go:
are
there
comment?
Go
ahead,
I
was
same
thing.
Jim
I
was
about
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
that
I
don't
feel
in
the
situation
that
the
whole
world
is
in.
To
do
this
without
being
able
to
let
people
speak,
it
is
the
right
to
every
to
be
able
to
stand
in
front
of
the
board
and
be
able
to
voice
their
opinion
on
on
what
they
feel
and
in
a
setting
like
this,
it's
something
that
we
are
taking
away
from
them.
N
K
K
C
So
I
actually
would
agree
with
Christy
and
I
would
say
this
conversation
started
way
back
at
the
long-range
facility
task
force
in
2013
and
so
in
terms
of
opportunities
and
and
that
we
have
offered
for
community
input
and
a
back
and
forth
I
do
think
their
husband.
Many
opportunities
for
that
and
I
also
think
that
there
was
a
ton
of
time
spent
analyzing
bayous
the
guiding
principles
by
using
research
by
using
so
regardless
of
the
answers
of
the
additional
information
that
was
asked
about
tonight.
I,
we
still
face
the
same
challenge.
C
In
terms
of
you
know,
one
or
a
group
of
students
is
going
to
have
to
pass
one
school
to
get
to
another
I
think
that
back
in
even
2013
that
was
recognized
and
folks
said
as
part
of
that
recommendation.
A
solution
for
declining
enrollment
could
possibly
be
other
educational
programs
and
and
I
think
that's
that's
what
we
should
have
been
studying
to
help
the
problem
of
declining
enrollment
I.
Don't
think
you
fix
it
by
just
continually.
C
You
know:
busing
children
from
way
south
to
north
I
think
that
you
need
an
approach,
that's
sustainable
there
and
I
feel
like
that
has
been.
You
know,
debated
and
talked
about,
and
we
played
out
all
of
those
scenarios
and
what
that
would
mean
for
students
and
families
and
opportunities
and
and
equity
I.
Just
I,
don't
know
what
those
answers
that
you
asked
for
tonight
how
they
would
provide
a
different
sort
of
direction
for
administration.
It
took
them
a
lot
of
work
to
get
here.
C
It
wasn't
easy
decision,
it
wasn't
easy
conversation
and
what
are
they
gonna
do?
If
we
wait
another
year,
I
mean
how
long
are
we
gonna
be
on
zoom'?
We
don't
know
that
I
feel
like
we
came
here,
well-prepared
with
a
lot
of
information
and
so
to
delay
it
as
me
concerned,
I
I,
just
I
just
you
know,
patrons
clearly
communicate.
They
know
how
to
communicate
with
us.
They
reached
out
to
us
today.
L
What
two
things
concern
me
or
actually
just
the
one,
but
it's
the
operational
cost
of
1.6
million
plus
there
isn't
really
a
cost.
Yet
how
much
teaching
for
this
new
middle
school?
How
much
that's
going
to
cost
us,
and
so
if
I
was
to
have
to
vote
on
that
today.
I
couldn't
support
that
because
we
wouldn't
we
don't
have
the
money
for
it
and
and
I
think
Jim's
right.
We've
got
to
examine.
What's
going
to
happen
here
in
the
in
the
future.
We
do
we
have
to
pause
here
and
and
come
together
and
see.
A
Report,
if
you
were
to
read
first
engineer
the
timeline
that
you
need
to
build
by
a
target
date,
what
Wendy
you
need
to
know
and
then
I
would
also
comment
on
a
couple
of
other
comments
that
are
being
made.
What
else
would
we
hear
from
the
public
that
we
haven't
heard
already
and
and
I'm
not
putting
down
anybody's
motions
here
or
ideas
or
hearing
from
the
public
by
any
means?
But
what
we've
learned
is
anytime.
There
is
an
item
on
the
agenda.
A
F
I'll
say
and
I
know
a
couple
other
board
members
have
their
hands
up
as
well
is
I'll
only
speak
to
what
I
can
speak
to
I
think
the
biggest
uncertainty
here
is
all
the
uncertain
factors
of
what's
going
to
happen
next
right.
Currently,
the
what's
proposing
the
recommendation
in
front
of
you
today
would
allow
for
a
fall
of
2020
fall.
23
bill
are
opening
now
construction
timelines
securing
beds.
Could
that
change
because
of
coma
19
and
when
we
get
back
to
normal?
F
What
does
that
look
like
I
can't
necessarily
tell
you
that,
but
obviously
we
know
that
if
a
build
is
the
project
that
we're
moving
forward,
it
doesn't
happen
overnight.
So
you
also
have
that
if
you
have
increasing
enrollment
which
could
or
cannot
change
but
right,
that's
what
we're
projecting
right
now,
the
board.
The
impact
of
the
delay
of
this
decision
I
think
is
this
important
to
know
for
administration.
There
is
an
endorsement
here,
I,
you
know,
and
this
is
not
to
push
it
on
a
board
decision
or
not.
F
I
think
the
most
important
conversation
here
is:
what
are
the
factors
that
the
board
wants,
or
one
of
the
data
that
we
can
provide
to
make
a
decision,
because
administration
did
bring
forward
boundary
change,
recommendations
that
came
from
a
task
force,
but
then
what
happened
at
that
is
that
the
boundaries
had
so
many
other
side
effects
or
impacts
that
that
led
us
to
change
the
guiding
principles,
which
are
the
factors
on
how
we
make
a
decision.
So
we
change
principles
and
often
new
guiding
principles.
We
brought
forward
this
recommendation
if
this
gets
delayed.
F
I
will
tell
you
right
now
that
going
into
this
next
school
year,
just
for
student
staff
ratios
at
Davies.
We
are
already
looking
at
hiring
two
personnel,
a
counselor
and
a
registrar,
because
those
are
individuals
that
meet
with
all
the
students
and
and
we
need
to
hire
additional
staff
to
accommodate
the
growth
in
the
students
and
we're
getting
requests
from
the
building
to
make
projects
or
renovations
to
create
spaces
for
those
additional
staff.
Members
and
it's
hard
for
us
as
an
administration
to
say
no
find
a
place
for
these
two
new
staff.
F
Members
that
you
need
somewhere
in
your
building,
because
we're
waiting
on
the
board
to
make
a
decision
on.
Why
should
we
make
a
small
term
investment
or
an
investment
if
there's
gonna
be
a
new
middle
school
down
the
road?
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
conversations
that
will
continue,
bring
to
planning
and
continue
to
bring
to
the
board,
but
we're
gonna
keep
chipping
at
different
solutions
that
will
also
cost
money.
Until
we
have
a
long
term
vision,
administration
would
be
happy
with
boundaries
would
be
happy
with
the
new
building.
For
us.
F
We
know
that
we
have
the
ability
to
serve
kids.
We
need
to
know
what
are
those
factors
that
the
board
members
want
to
make
their
decisions
based
off
of,
and
we
will
bring
your
recommendation
accordingly
and
we
feel
like
this
is
the
second
time
we've
done
that
so
we're
happy.
We
appreciate
the
transparency
and
including
the
public
comment,
but
those
are
just
some
of
the
impacts
of
the
delay.
B
Jim,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
administration
for
all
the
work
they've
done
and
all
the
work
you're
still
going
to
get
to
do
on
this
because
we're
a
long
way
from
probably
the
end
result.
I
really
don't
know
how
any
of
us
could
make
a
good
decision
tonight.
If
we
don't
know
what
the
future
population
projection
is
much
like,
we
now
know
for
Davies
and
discovery
at
self
and
Carl
Ben
and
had
Ben
Franklin
at
North,
because
I'm
just
as
concerned
about
underpopulated
schools
as
I
am
over
populated
schools.
B
I
need
to
see
that
data
because,
let's
just
say,
we
decided
to
go,
build
the
new
middle
school
which
someday
will
be
built.
Let's
just
put
that
out
there.
We
know
if
we
grow
as
a
community.
We'll
eventually
have
a
fourth
comprehensive,
high
school,
a
fourth
comprehensive
middle
school.
But
if
we
build
this
thing
in
four
years
from
now,
South
High
is
at
seven
hundred
students.
B
Then
we're
going
to
have
to
do
boundary,
changes
to
get
enough
students
to
solve
high
and
we're
going
to
be
emptying
out
this
building
we
just
built
so
I
think
we
first
have
to
really
look
at.
What
does
the
pattern
look
like
for
the
whole
district?
So
we
can
determine
do
we
have
to
do
boundary
changes
to
have
viable
high
schools
at
north
and
south,
or
do
the
current
boundaries
keep
them
viable
going
forward?
I
believe
that
was
my
question
to
Bob
several
meetings
ago
about
North
I
I'm,
more
than
happy
to
worry
about
backfilling.
B
If
we
can't
produce
the
curriculum,
because
we
don't
have
the
number
of
students
so
I
I
couldn't
support
this
motion
tonight
because
I
don't
know
the
future
of
all
of
our
secondary
buildings.
I
get
the
fact
that
every
week,
every
day
of
delay
is
a
delay,
but
the
data
we
just
looked
at
projecting
out.
We
don't
really
actually
hit
a
threshold
at
discovery
until
I
think
it
was
2025
where
we
go
over
that
building's
capacity.
Davies
is
a
different
matter.
From
my
perspective.
It's
the
middle
school.
That's
our
biggest
challenge.
B
I
suspect
we're
not
going
to
really
change
the
outcomes
for
a
whole
lot
of
students
by
that
three-month
delay.
So
again,
I
think
my
motion
is
appropriate
because
I
don't
have
the
right
data
to
make
a
good
decision
today
and
that's
my
fault
I
should
have
asked
for
this
long
ago.
Bob,
certainly
not
the
administration's
fault.
Robin.
D
One
of
the
questions
I
have
is
you
know
we.
We
seem
to
be
given
this
option,
that
if
we
build
a
new
high
school,
we
can
begin
in
filling
Fargo
north,
for
example,
by
making
it
a
magnet
school
by
by
introducing
all
these
new
programs.
Why
aren't
we
doing
that
now?
If
we
found
that
that
200
more
kids
would
be
interested
in
going
to
Fargo
North
because
of
offerings
that
they
couldn't
get
at
Davies?
For
instance,
we
may
find
that
we've
just
pushed
our
timeline
even
farther
into
the
future.
D
If
this
is
one
of
the
ideas
that
we
have
and
it's
a
tremendous
idea,
why
aren't
we
acting
on
it
now?
Why
are
we
waiting
to
see?
Well,
you
know,
as
the
numbers
continue
to
decline,
then
we'll
start
doing
things
at
North
to
get
more
kids
up
there,
I,
don't
know
why
the
administration
isn't
showing
us
what
could
be
done
for
that
curriculum
now,
rather
than
you
know,
I
mean
the
problem
is
now
we
have
a
discrepancy
in
the
numbers
of
students,
David.
F
I'll
just
respond
to
that
real,
quick
and
say
administration
did
present
some
of
those
ideas,
so
at
the
February
I
think
2018
work
session.
We
had
talked
about
looking
at
specialized
programming
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
remember
David,
but
at
that
work
session
the
board
members
gave
us
five
different
options
and
how
to
explore.
F
This
is
when
we
were
planning
for
the
task
force,
and
we
said
what
do
you
want
the
parameters
to
be
for
this
task
force
and
we
had
included
the
option
of
the
career
workforce
Academy
at
South,
we'd
included
the
option
of
a
language,
immersion
or
even
anything
else,
and
that
was
not
prioritized
by
the
board
member,
so
that
was
presented
by
by
administration
and
I.
Think
the
other
reason
other
conversation
right
now
is
currently
at
this
moment
in
time.
F
South
and
North
are
not
at
a
point
where
we're
worried
about
their
viability
or
offering
to
our
students
I
think
what
Jim
is
asking
is:
let's
look
at
it
long-term
and
if
we're
gonna
get
to
that
point,
then
we
need
to
address
both
issues
at
the
same
time.
But
right
now
we're
not
at
a
point
where
we're
worried
about
the
viability,
Fargo,
North
or
Fargo
South.
A
C
F
C
M
G
I
think
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
the
motion
on
the
floor
is
to
postpone
this
agenda
item
until
the
next
meeting
that
can
be
held,
live
at
the
district
office
and
would
just
kindly
remind
people
that
discussion
when
there's
a
motion
on
the
floor
should
be
as
much
as
possible
germane
to
that
motion.
So
that's
your
emotion
on
the
floor
that
that,
if,
depending
on
how
that
action
would
go
once
you
vote
is
that
this
agenda
item
will
not
come
back
before
you
until
your
meeting
a
meeting
at
the
district
office.
C
A
K
I
did
I'd
like
to
move
to
amend
the
motion
to
delay
this
agenda
item
to
the
May
12th
meeting.
That
gives
us
approximately
30
more
days
to
see
what
is
happening.
It
would
give
Bob
the
opportunity
to
pull
the
information
for
North
and
South
data
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate.
We
need
to
make
a
decision
on
this
and
waiting
until
we
can
see
everyone
face
to
face.
I
feel
is
too
long,
so
I
moved
to
amend
the
motion
to
bring
it
back
from
812.
A
A
H
I
supported
the
plan
brought
tonight
up
until
probably
over
this
weekend,
as
I
was
really
taking
a
hard
look
at
the
long-term
consequences
of
this
Kovach
crisis.
Jim's
revenue
concerns
or
ones
that
I
was
going
to
bring
up
during
this
discussion
as
well.
Rebecca
brought
up
that
there's
probably
going
to
be
some
lessons
learned
that
might
apply
to
a
new
building,
but
I
also
think,
and
so
for
that
reason,
I'm
really
hesitant
to
support
building
a
building
right
now
here
tonight.
That
said,
we
need
a
solution.
Davy's
is
packed
and
it's
really
a
burden.
H
I'm
planning
for
the
operations
of
that
building
and
delivering
our
students
there,
an
equitable
solution,
I,
don't
know
when
we're
gonna
be
able
to
meet
again.
It's
good
seeing
you
all
here
tonight
on
the
screen.
I
would
really
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
again
in
person,
but
based
on
the
latest
guidance
that
I'm
hearing.
That
could
be
a
long
ways
out,
I
think
giving
us
30
days,
because
it's
a
chance
that
similar
that
information
gives
us
a
chance
to
learn
more
about
what's
happening
from
this
rapidly
shifting
situation
and
I.
H
C
E
C
Something
so
can
I
ask
a
question
like
how,
by
by
delaying
it
for
again
30
days
or
more
until
the
end
of
May,
how
will
that
change
the
fact
that
we
still
will
need
to
find
a
space
for
these
students?
How
will
Colvin
change
that
we
need
to
still
educate
the
students
that
are
coming
into
our
district.
C
C
I
just
I
I,
think
about
those
students
and
and,
like
John
said
he
was
equitable
for
those
students
and
the
longer
we
leave
them
there,
the
more
likely
it
is
we're
going
to
have
to
increase
class
sizes,
and
some
of
these
other
modifications
that
you're
talking
about
passing
ones
folder
adjusting
these
values.
Is
this
the
time
to
do
that
I
thought
that
was
I
thought
we'd
already
established,
which
values
we
were
willing
to
modify
and
not
modify.
C
A
C
B
H
A
C
L
C
C
F
Robin
other
first
off
I
do
want
to
say,
I
appreciate
the
board
and
I
commend
the
board
for
doing
their
due
diligence.
I
think
it's
the
board's
responsibility
not
to
take
decisions
of
this
magnitude
lightly.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
I
request
or
on
behalf
of
all
the
administration
is
going
to
be
between
now
and
whenever
the
board
vote
is
going
to
happen.
Please
reach
out
to
us
and
use
us
for
any
pieces
of
information
that
you
want
that
we
can
provide.
Sometimes
we
just
don't
know
what
it
is
that
different
board
members
seek.
F
So
we
try
to
put
together
a
memo.
What
we
think
is
based
on
what's
being
communicated
from
a
planning
committee
or
something
else.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
everyone,
the
information
they
can
do.
The
one
thing
I
am
gonna
implore.
All
of
board
members
to
do
is
I
appreciate,
Jim's
notion
of
let's
look
at
the
same,
compare
apples
to
apples.
Let's
look
at
the
Northside
and
enrollment
impacts
like
we
did
on
this
outside
I.
Think
I've
heard
the
term
revenue
for
a
new
building
go
around
several
times.
F
I
think
that
needs
to
be
compared
equally
as
well.
There
is
there
shouldn't,
be
an
assumption
that
there's
going
to
be
no
revenue,
impacts
on
boundary
changes
or
if
we
were
to
implore
other
solutions
as
well.
So
I
asked
board
members
use
us,
you
know
we
can't
project
all
of
the
future
revenue,
but
a
new
building
has
comps.
Obviously,
but
boundary
changes
also
have
costs.
All
of
the
solutions
have
costs.
So
we
can't
just
say:
oh,
this
is
so
expensive
and
we're
going
into
death--it.
So
we
can't
afford
it
because
that
doesn't
mean
option.
F
C
M
Robin
go
ahead
Rebecca,
so
this
is
more
a
question
for
John
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we
should
be
asking
if
I
should
be
asking
this
now
before
we
vote
or
not,
but
I
think
you
had
requested
that
information
be
brought
to
our
next
board
meeting
that
involved
boundary
changes,
so
I'm
wondering
if
how
how
it's
decided,
what
that
information
is
who's
involved
in
that
process,
because
we've
had
so
many
conversations
regarding
so
many
different
options.
A
A
K
Robert
I've
got
something
too
I,
just
think
that
it's
really
important.
We
talk
about
our
biggest
priorities
and
that's
to
educate
the
kids
and
adjusting
or
adapting
to
growth,
and
we
really
need
to
look
at
our
board
and
our
entire
district
and
prepare
for
the
future,
and
we
need
to
prepare
for
the
future
rather
than
always
being
reactionary
and
I
think
there
are
times
when
we
are
behind
the
8-ball
and
we're
always
trying
to
catch
up
and
I.
A
Thank
you,
I
I
would
say,
I,
don't
know
if
we're
gonna
have
any
more
financial
information
on
May,
12
I,
don't
think
we're
going
to
have
any
really
solid
financial
information
until
the
next
legislature
is
in
session,
which
is
in
January,
so
I'm
troubled,
I'm
troubled
with
that
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
we'll
be
any
more
enlightened
financially
by
in
the
next
year.
Quite
frankly,
other
comments
before
we
call
rule
I.
G
L
K
N
C
C
Gathering
research
and
I
really
really
think
that
we
have
many
many
examples
to
be
able
to
point
to
and
I
I
think
the
only
way
this
decision
I've
gone
through
every
single
one
of
these
scenarios,
hours
and
hours
and
hours,
the
only
way
that
we
can
make
it
work
and
still
provide
long
term
sustainability
for
not
only
our
students
and
our
families,
but
our
taxpayers
is
to
be
proactive
in
this
situation
and
we're
already
we've
already
delayed
this
decision.
Long
enough
and
and
I
just
lost,
my
train
of
thought
go
ahead.
N
Yeah,
you
know
just
sitting
here
and
doing
the
whole
group
discussion.
I
mean
you
know:
I,
don't
think
that
we,
it
is
clearly
a
need
that
we
need
to
have
another
school.
We
are
clearly
overcrowded.
We've
known
this
for
a
long
time
and
listening
to
all
of
our
group
discussion,
which
I
think
was
a
very
good
one,
the
amount
of
time
that
staff
has
put
into
this
and
trying
to
figure
it
out
and
again
and
kicking
it
down.
It's
not
gonna.
What
happens
is
this?
N
C
C
It
is
because
of
the
community
values
which
we
have
reached
out
to
time
and
time
again
to
find
out
exactly
what
those
are
or
if
those
have
changed
and
I
mean
in
an
organized
fashion,
done
that
through
task
forces
and
long-range
facility
planning
and
strategic
updating
and
and
all
of
that
and
time
and
time
again
it
goes
back
to
you,
neighborhood
schools.
We
don't
want
to
drive
by
one
to
get
to
another.
C
You
know
I,
just
unless
that's
going
to
change
and
unless
we,
when
you
look
at
these
scenarios,
if
we
want
to
remove
the
trying
to
balance
our
schools
in
terms
of
socioeconomic,
that
is
the
only
way
you
will
be
able
to
move
enough.
Kids
farther
north,
then
then
to
make
enough
room
for
a
future
enrollment.
But
that's
the
only
way
and
and
from
what
I've
heard.
That's
not
an
option.
Okay,.
D
Just
don't
you
know,
I
hear
brandy
and
others
saying
we're
overcrowded.
If
you
look
at
the
the
numbers
of
kids
that
we
have
in
our
high
schools,
we're
not
overcrowded
we're
on
work
out
of
balance
and
I.
Don't
know
why
we
are
so
terribly
concerned
about
making
this
decision
right
now
and
not
looking
at
significant
boundary
changes.
If
our
guiding
principles
have
to
be
changed,
we're
not
doing
anything,
that's
going
to
harm
neighborhood
elementary
schools.
We
we've
tried
very
hard
to
have
all
kids
within
walking
distance,
we're
doing
very
well
at
that
middle
schools.
D
Maybe
that's
simply
not
possible
when
we've
got
when
we've
got
the
capacity
in
schools
and
it's
not
being
utilized,
and
we
don't
have
a
clue
at
the
right
at
the
moment.
What
is
going
to
happen
to
the
attendance
at
Fargo,
North
and
Fargo
South
as
far
out
as
we
projected
Davies
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
active
curriculum
in
those
schools
so
that
we
haven't
built
a
a.
D
M
M
Kovat
19
has
created
all
kinds
of
problems
and
challenges.
Some
of
us
might
look.
Think
of
you
know
opportunities
that
it's
created
as
well,
for
you
know
how
we
might
be
looking
at
doing
things
down
the
road
I.
Don't
have
I
feel
like
it's.
Okay
for
us
to
hold
off
a
bit
on
making
a
decision.
I
might
my
feelings
have
changed
dramatically,
since
we
had
that
February
21st
work
session
and
I
I'm,
just
not
comfortable
with
it
right
now.
M
Whatever
we
decide
is
fine,
you
know
we'll
we'll
all
go
forward
and
and
we'll
be
working
to.
You
know
help
ensure
that
our
kids
get
the
best
education
possible.
Of
course,
under
all
these
circumstances,
but
everyone
across
the
globe
is
being
asked
to.
You
know
work
in
completely
different
situations
than
than
they
had
been.
What
we
want
to
really
so
we're
we're
being
pushed
and
we're
being
challenged
and
I
just
want
you
to
to
know
that
I'll
support
whatever
we
decide
tonight,
but
I
won't
be
voting.
Yes,.
K
Go
ahead.
I
just
want
to
to
David's
point
when
he
doesn't
want
us
to
sacrifice
education
on
the
north
side
and
the
south
side.
I,
don't
know
why,
with
the
teachers
and
the
staff
that
we
have
I,
don't
know
why
we
would
feel
that
the
educational
experience
at
those
locations
would
suffer
because
of
a
new
school
I
think
that
our
teachers
right
now
do
a
phenomenal
job
at
those
schools
and
just
because
we
have
a
new
building.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
decline
of
education
would
happen.
A
D
Not
talking
about
the
quality
of
the
teachers,
our
teachers
are
phenomenal.
I'm
talking
about
the
fact
that
there
aren't,
there
may
not
be
enough
students
that
we
can
have
a
certain
AP
class
or
a
foreign
like,
or
something
I'm,
not
talking
about
the
quality
of
the
teachers.
I'm
talking
about
not
enough
seats
in
the
chairs
to
be
able
to
provide
a
class
that
maybe
wanted
and
maybe
very
necessary.
C
David
I
think
it's
a
fair
question
and
I
do
think.
Well,
I
know
that
was
one
that
was
asked
even
last
time
when
there
was
an
elementary
change
and
and
I
believe
rupak
might
have
touched
on
it
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
it
was
definitely
part
of
the
conversation
all
along
the
way.
With
every
scenario.
C
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
providing
stability
in
programming
for
for
the
buildings
that
are
at
capacity
and
every
time
we
were
told
that
that
was
one
of
the
motivators
for
the
last
change
and
that
they
felt
that
was
not
at
risk
at
this
moment
or
even
in
the
future,
to
what
we?
What
was
part
of
that
conversation
in
terms
of
the
program?
What
the
projection
numbers
look
like,
I,.
A
Would
say,
I'll
make
a
comment
here.
If
we
vote
yes,
administration
will
have
clear
direction.
If
we
vote,
no
administration
will
have
no
direction
tonight,
so
not
trying
to
convince
you
one
way
or
the
other,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
come
out
of
this.
We
need
to
move
forward
somehow.
So
that
would
be
a
side
effect
of
your
vote
tonight.
C
B
C
G
C
Well,
1365
I
mean
that's
not
long
and
and
Jim
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
just
does:
have
you
had
a
chance
to
reach
out
to
administration
at
that
building
to
to
gather
their
feedback
on
what
it's
like
a
day-to-day
and
how
they
would
see.
You
know
the
best
option.
Moving
forward
would
be
for
the
students.
B
C
B
L
B
C
I
can
I
can
assure
you
that
I
have
had
conversations
with
administration.
That's
involved
because
I'm
to
me,
it
is
important
to
know
what
they
think,
because
they
are
the
ones
in
the
building's
teeth.
Every
single
day,
with
these
students
and
I
can
tell
you,
there
are
concerns
that
we
keep
kicking.
This
can
down
the
road.
F
I'm,
just
gonna
I'm
in
here
I
appreciate
the
discourse
around
this
conversation
and
I
appreciate
I,
appreciate
board
member
taking
this
decision
and
doing
their
diligence.
What
they
should
I
am
going
to
ask
that
board
members
not
make
assumptions
about
administrators
in
this
district.
This
is
a
decision
that
has
a
lot
of
different
factors
at
play.
We
had
administrators
I
recommended
the
boundary
changes
when
they
were
made.
We
have
administrators
that
recommend
the
proposal
is
being
brought
today
to
the
board
members.
F
It
is
our
job
to
administer
the
board's
vision
in
the
school
district
based
on
what
you
decide
as
a
collective
group
of
nine
that
you
want
to
invest
in
and
where
are
your
values
and
those
values
are
identified
in
your
guiding
principles
and
those
have
been
changed.
We've
brought
boundary
recommendations,
so
I
would
just
ask
that
you
don't
try
to
pin
administrators
against
one
another
or
the
structure
that
we
have
for
governance,
because
that's
not
going
to
be
productive
to
this
conversation.
F
C
I
do
that
it
turned
out.
That
was
certainly
not
my
intention.
My
intention
was
to
say
that
there
are
experts
also
that
we
should
be
tapping
into
and
using
that
information
to
make
an
educated
decision,
and
they
do
those
are
the
one
they
do
have
the
best
interest
of
those
students
at
heart.
So
all
I
was
saying
is:
have
we
considered
that
you
know
we're
sitting
here
trying
to
make
a
decision?
That's
that's
best
for
all
students
that
to
me
it's
like
asking
to
hear
feedback
from
teachers
and
what's
happening
in
their
classrooms.
C
F
Jennifer
I
can
play
respect
that
I
think.
My
only
point
is
that
you
will
have
different
staff.
Members
have
different
views,
I
think.
Yes,
this
is
a
decision
that
impacts
different
people
differently
and
I
can
guarantee
you
that
today,
you
received
emails,
telling
you
to
vote
down
this
decision
from
staff
members
and
you
received
emails
that
we're
advocating
for
this
decision
from
staff
members
as
well.
Everyone
brings
their
own
personal
judgments
and
we're
all
a
product
of
our
own
experiences.
F
This
is
a
decision
for
the
board
based
on
their
vision.
So
that's
why
I
say
just
be
careful
because
we
can
pick
and
choose
which
staff
members
we
want
to
listen
to.
We
have
the
entire
staff
at
Davies
and
discoveries
that
probably
have
opinion
on
this
and
you'll
probably
get
a
wide
range
of
opinions.
M
G
M
G
Share
with
you,
I
have
our
espy's
projections
up
and
it
doesn't
go
through
as
much
of
the
years
as
Bob
had
as
far
as
projecting
out.
Obviously,
our
current
enrollment
I
know
he'd
work
on
that
for
you,
but
what
our
SP
has
projected
for
at
least
South
High
I
know
that
was
a
concern
about
you,
know:
boundaries
and
and
schools
we
have
Marie
now
South
is
projecting
at
9:33,
followed
by
961,
followed
by
a
thousand
four
nine.
Ninety
four,
a
thousand
five.
G
So
just
further,
you
know
those
next
few
years
a
little
up
and
down,
but
pretty
consistent
there
and
North
High
is
not
too
too
much
different
from
those
numbers
as
well.
They
get
a
little
bit
more
increased,
so
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
reminder
of
where
our
theories
has
for
those
next
few
years.
B
Robin
I've
got
one
last
thing
to
share
and
then
I'd
be
perfectly
fine.
If
somebody
wanted
to
move
previous
question
to
get
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
Okay,
you
know
many
of
you
were
not
on
the
board
when
we
built
Davy's,
which
probably
came
in
at
a
price
tag,
a
little
less
than
what
we're
talking
about
spending
here
tonight
we
took
an
ncredible
amount
of
heat
from
our
community
because
they
weren't
allowed
to
vote
on
it.
B
They
didn't
quite
understand
that
we
weren't
asking
for
increased
taxing
authority,
which
is
typically
why
you
go
to
the
public
to
vote
for
a
building
I'm,
not
suggesting,
although
maybe
others
believe
we
should
that
we
need
to
have
a
public
vote.
I
think
we
have
the
taxing
ability
with
our
current
authority
to
build
this
building,
whether
we
do
it
tonight,
whether
we
do
it
six
months
from
now,
whether
we
do
it
three
years
from
now,
but
I
do
believe.
B
Even
though
we've
talked
about
this
concept
of
a
building
for
a
couple
of
months
now,
primarily
quite
frankly,
moreso
in
committee
than
at
public
board
meetings.
There
is
a
whole
lot
of
people
in
our
community
that
had
no
clue
we
were
considering
spending
sixty
million
dollars
and
then,
if
we're
going
to
do
it
tonight
in
our
first
virtual
board,
meeting
where
people
really
can't
come
and
scream
at
us,
I
think
we're
just
inviting
some
huge
negative
public
energy
to
come
at
the
district.
B
You
know,
I'll,
take
you
back
to
something
that
I
think
started
our
meeting
Jen,
who
is
a
staff
member
who
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
teachers
that
suggested
this
might
not
be
the
right
decision
at
the
right
time
and
she
did
bring
up
the
fact
we
are
going
to
have
to
go
to
back
to
the
public.
I
think
you
said
seven
years,
Jen
I
think
it's
actually
in
about
five
years.
We
have
to
go
back,
I
think
it's
sooner
than
that,
because
we
have
to
have
the
vote
before
we
actually
get
to
the
sunset
date.
B
But
in
any
case,
whatever
time
frame
it
is
I
just
think
we
are
not
being
as
transparent
as
we
could
be
with
us
and
I
get
the
fact
that
we
might
not
be
able
to
have
a
regular
board
meeting
again.
But
whatever
decision
we
make
today
and
if
it
had
been
the
table,
it
would
have
been
in
the
front
page
of
the
form
and
it
will
be
in
the
front
page
of
the
form
which
is
going
to
alert
the
entire
community
of
what
we're
going
to
do
so
at
a
minimum.
C
M
A
B
C
A
N
N
D
G
D
G
K
B
F
A
A
G
The
motion
on
the
floor
is
to
consider
for
a
first
reading
and
require,
at
the
next
board
meeting
a
second
reading
to
authorize
administration
to
proceed
with
securing
bids
to
construct
a
new
school
which
will
initially
serve
students
in
grades.
8
&
9
in
South
Fargo
on
currently
own
district
land,
not
to
exceed
60
million.
A
D
G
H
K
A
C
B
C
C
A
Okay,
well,
this
is
a
roundabout
way
of
getting
there.
So
we
are
now
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
bring
us
back
to
the
May
12th
meeting
and
that's
all
the
motions
includes
at
this
point.
Somebody
can
add
or
add
the
boundary
discussion
as
well
or
the
motion
stands
as
bringing
this
back
as
it
was
tonight.
F
Robin,
this
is
route
back.
I'm
gonna.
Ask
that
if
there
is
any
other
agenda
items,
I
want
to
be
added
to
whether
it's
a
boundary
discussion
or
some
other
thing
that
the
next
board
meeting
the
board
members
just
communicate
with
you,
and
then
we
bring
that
through
governance.
Just
because
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
questions
on
what
does
that
memo?
Look
like
what
is
the
proposal?
I
think
I,
don't
know
if
this
would
be
the
right
forum
to
get
some
of
those
things
hash
table.
G
A
Typically,
that
is
when
we
have
our
regular
board
meeting
based
upon
the
outcome
of
this
meeting.
We
would
determine
if
we
need
that
board
meeting.
We
are
required
by
statute
to
have
at
least
one
meeting
monthly,
so
the
board
could
choose
to
forgo
the
second
meeting
in
April
or
reconvene
on
May
12th.
A
N
A
M
B
N
B
C
I
guess
to
clarify
maybe
I
was
misunderstanding:
I
thought
that
that
was
a
request
that
you
were
making
of
the
board
now
in
terms
of
emotion.
So
it's
a
little
bit
unprecedented
I
guess,
because
obviously
I
would
prefer
not
to
delay
this
decision.
I
again
feel
like
we've.
We
had
it
ample
opportunity
to
talk
about
it,
but
if
there's
a
scenario
that
you
feel
would
be
worthy
of
delaying
this
decision,
I
feel
like
I
wish.
You
would
share
it
right
now,
so
that.
B
Jennifer
I'll
share
one
thing:
we
just
defeated
the
motion
to
build
the
building
by
a
vote
of
five
to
four.
Yes,
it
was
a
first
reading,
but
there
will
be
no
second
reading
absent
the
motion
you're
making,
so
we
just
defeated
it.
Okay,
so
the
next
solution,
because
we're
not
going
to
leave
our
administration
hanging,
is
okay,
let's
get
back
and
gets
her
and
look
at
what
we
can
do
in
boundary.
Changes
to
buy
additional
time
so
but
I
didn't
put
forward.
B
C
So,
thank
you
for
the
clarification.
So,
if
it's
completely
defeated,
then
I
would
like
my
motion
to
stand
that
it
come
back
again
because
again
we
just
keep
delaying
this
and
any
boundary
change
we've
been
over.
This
is
going
to
only
provide
temporary
relief,
not
enough
from
gonna
be
right
back
here.
Building
schools
Jim
said
it
himself
earlier:
building
a
school
is
inevitable,
so
why
do
we
keep
kicking
the
can
down
the
road?
A
K
G
A
A
M
G
Certainly
good,
there
is
no
motion
on
the
floor
right
now,
just
to
clarify
and
as
far
as
Chris
your
suggestion
that
motioned
afford
it
to
the
next
board
meeting
was
voted
down
so
I
just
want
to
as
we
come
back
together
here
just
remind
you,
you
have
no
motions
on
the
floor
and
your
exact
thought
there.
Christie
was
just
folded,
don't
so.
M
Robin
yeah,
so
if
we
could
decide
to
move
on
to
item
B,
probably
and
also
if
another
board,
if
a
board
member
wants
to
contact
this
is
my
thought
is:
if
a
board
member
wants
to
contact
you
and
request
that,
even
though,
as
Christie
discussed,
that
and
Marie
reminded
us,
that
item
failed
this
evening.
I
would
imagine
that,
if
a
board
member
wants
to
contact
you
and
ask
for
that
item
to
be
put
on
the
next
Governance
Committee
agenda
discussion
that
you
would
grab
that.
A
A
C
C
You
know
Robox
time
here
some
of
the
goals
that
he
had
set
for
the
district,
some
of
the
those
that
he's
accomplished
some
of
the
challenges
and
then
as
well
and
then
the
committee
asked
him
to
share
his
ideas
around
the
current
contract
terms,
and
so
he
did
share
for
items
that
basically
rise
to
the
top
for
him
and
so
I'm.
Just
gonna
highlight
those
as
things
that
we
discussed
and
that
was
first
long-term
security
and
predictability.
C
And
so
you
can
see
the
term
in
front
of
you
that
the
committee
did
think
that
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
recommend
the
a
three-year
the
rest
of
the
content
was
not
unanimous.
Although
consensus
was
reached.
So
it's
here
and
we
don't
take
a
obviously
a
formal
vote
in
committee.
So
so
just
know
that,
but
the
you
see
the
one
two
and
three
within
this
proposal
that
is
included
in
terms
of
his.
C
What
that
would
look
like
over
a
three-year
term,
and
you
know
really
that
doesn't
address
the
compounding
factor
that
was
highlighted
as
a
concern
by
both
rupak
and
board.
Members
in,
and
so
that
really
doesn't
this
offer
does
change
that
and
let's
see
what
other
I
wanted
to
make.
Let's
see
one
more
point
here:
oh
the
defined
values.
We
were
unable
to
agree
to
what
those
might
look
like,
and
so
for
that
reason
again
it
wasn't
a
unanimous
decision.
C
So
at
this
point,
I
would
move
that
we
do
not
accept
the
recommendation
in
front
of
you
and
that
we
send
this
back
either
to
the
ad
hoc
or
for
purposes
of
a
deeper
discussion
with
more
board
members,
send
it
to
negotiations
committee
to
be
further
discussed,
because
I
really
do
believe-
and
you
can
take
this
up
the
motion
motion
but
I'm
trying
to
explain
that.
I
think
that
when
we're
discussing
that
topic
in
particular,
it
really
needs
to
involve
more
of
the
board
so
anyways.
A
C
So
so
both
really
I
don't
feel
like
we
at
all.
We
didn't
come
to
an
agreement
around
what
those
identified
values
would
be
or
could
be.
We
had
some
discussion
around
that,
but
we
never
came
to
an
agreement
on
that
and
then
so.
In
other
words,
it
would
just
be
right
now.
You
know
a
recommended
increase
year
to
year
right
and
without
sort
of
a
defined
value
that
we're
measuring
or
or
or
that,
we're
looking
at
within
that
band
of
criteria.
C
Secondly,
I
don't
agree
with
the
increases
defined
here
year
to
year,
not
only
because
of
the
percent,
but
because
we
won't
maybe
know
right
where
we're
going
to
be
at
in
three
years.
Although
the
one
thing
we
did
come
to
a
unanimous
consensus
on
is
I
would
be
okay
with
offering
a
three
year
contract.
C
G
G
C
G
G
B
B
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
move.
We
enter
into
a
contract
for
calendar
year
2020
through
2022
for
dr.
Rubik
gandhi,
as
per
the
percentage
increases
that
were
noted
in
memo
100,
but
it's
a
two-year
contract
that
I'm
suggesting
not
a
3
with
a
1.6
percent
increase
for
next
year's
contract
and
2%
for
the
following
year.
This.
A
Now
the
motions
on
the
floor
to
give
a
little
bit
of
history
on
this,
the
NLL
committee
is
assigned
annually
to
renew
the
superintendent's
contract
in
the
past,
the
ad
hoc
committee.
Well,
it's
always
consisted
of
three
people.
This
year's
committee
was
chaired
by
Jennifer
Benson
and
the
two
other
board
members
were
John,
Rowan,
biker
and
Christie
Ulrich.
A
A
This
is
a
renewable
every
year,
so
it
the
contract
renewed
every
year
for
two
years
essentially
I,
will
also
I
think
it's
very
important
to
say
that
our
job
as
board
members
is
to
evaluate
the
superintendent's
in
his
annual
review.
That
is
required
by
North
Dakota
century
code
and
all
board
members
rated
roof.
Hawks
performance,
satisfactory
I
wish,
we
could
say
super
satisfactory,
but
our
options
on
our
farm
is
satisfactory.
A
There
is
also
going
back
five
years.
We
formally
would
base
the
superintendent's
increase
on
his
or
her
performance
on
achieving
operational
duties
that
are
in
an
operational
plan,
basically
competing
completing
their
operational
plan
that
can't
that
concept
was
removed
when
I
was
not
on
the
board
for
two
years,
and
that
was
really
the
only
measurable
piece
that
we
had
in
there
at
that
time.
I
know
that
conversations
at
the
committee
level,
because
I
did
listen
to
the
committee
minutes,
we're
linked
to
we're
related
to
linking
the
superintendent's
salary
to
student
outcomes
and
achievement.
A
Disputes
around
how
to
evaluate
teacher
performance,
whether
that
should
be
on
leading
or
lagging
indicators,
but
I
feel
that
to
add
contact
to
this
conversation,
I
wanted
to
present
that
history
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
Jim
you're.
The
only
other
person
that's
been
at
board
longer
than
I.
So
please
correct
me.
If
I
said
it
anything
that
was
wrong.
G
Yeah
Rebecca,
no,
it's
anne-marie
actually
I'd
like
to
verify
I.
Have
the
motion
correct
in
my
notes
here
Jim.
Can
you
correct
me
if
I
did
something
wrong
here,
but
you
have
moved
to
enter
into
a
contract
for
calendar
years
2020
through
2022,
as
per
the
percentage
increases
noted
in
memo
104,
a
1.6
percent
salary
increase
in
a
2.0
salary
increase
for
a
two-year
contract
that.
A
F
Thank
You,
Robin
I
think
there's
just
a
couple
of
things
that
that
I
want
to
clarify
here.
I
normally
would
just
remain
quiet
during
this
discussion
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
part
of
Fargo
public
schools
and
continue
my
employment
here.
But
I
think
there
were
some
things
that
were
miss
representative
of
what
I
said
so
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
I
never
asked
for
a
three
or
four
year.
Contract
and
I
never
came
into
the
committee.
F
My
fear
is
long-term
security
for
myself
and
my
family
and
I
think
that
was
the
communication
I
had
by
that
I.
Don't
know
how
that
got
translated
and
to
give
me
a
four
year.
Contract
I,
don't
feel
like
I'm
in
a
position
to
make
a
demand
of
the
board.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
very
clear.
That
I
had
talked
about
what
I
look
for
the
second
things
that
I
said
that
I
do
look
for
were
some
sort
of
standardization
and
how
was
this
decision
made?
F
Currently,
our
structure
is
set
up
for
a
year
after
year,
beyond
hoc
committee,
to
meet
with
the
superintendent
and
discuss
the
terms
of
their
contract
and
I
said,
while
I
appreciate
that
structure
I
don't
want
a
change
in
superintendent
attitude
or
whoever's
ad-hoc
committee,
there
should
be
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
sand
standardize.
What
is
it
that
we're
going
to
use
to
make
this
determination?
I?
F
So
I
just
said
that
if
we
can
start
talking
about
what
are
the
factors
that
we
go
into
making
this
determination,
that
would
be
important
and
I
think
that
went
the
line
of
well.
We
should
look
at
a
pay-for-performance
model
based
on
student
achievement
and
I.
Think
I
push
back
on
that
and
I
think
I
said
that
to
me,
that
would
be
unfair
to
put
the
superintendent
in
that
position
if
the
superintendent
does
not
have
the
ability
to
hold
all
other
staff
members
and
the
same
accountable
standards.
F
And
secondly,
we
don't
have
complete
authority
over
the
budget,
which
the
board
does,
because
we
don't
have
the
authority
to
reallocate
recently
in
some
level
and
I
said
and
I
did
talk
about
a
lot
of
concerns
with
just
a
paper
performance
model.
Coming
from
my
previous
role,
I'm
able
to
talk
to
that
so
I
think
that
was
where
my
pushback
on
that
was,
but
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
I
never
asked
for
certain
terms.
F
It
is
a
concern
for
me
that
I
don't
want
to
be
the
type
of
leader
that
takes
gets
a
higher
percentage
than
the
staff
year
after
year
and
I
think
that
compounds
at
a
higher
rate,
so
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
our
staff
does
and
I
think
that
was
an
important
concern
that
I'd
shared
as
well
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
I'm
very
happy
to
work
in
Fargo
public
schools.
I
appreciate
my
relationship
with
the
board,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
what
was
presented.
Robin.
M
C
The
way
that
you
stated
it
was
you
were
satisfied
with
the
current
contract
and
you
then
shared
what
what
things
rise
to
the
top
in
terms
of
what's
important
to
you,
and
so
when
I,
when
I
asked
those
things
of
you,
these
were
your
answers
that
you
would
be
okay
with
a
three
or
four
year
contract
in
in
no
way
did
I
mean
that
you
demanded
it,
and
so
so
I
I
didn't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
defense
there,
but
that
would
you
agree.
That
is
something
that
you
said:
yeah.
C
And
so
when
we
talk
about,
you
know,
you
talked
about,
you
were
young
and
and
a
long
term.
Sustainability
was
important
to
you.
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
wrong
with
acknowledging
that,
but
and
I
don't
I,
don't
think
you
were
out
of
line
with
with
putting
it
out
there
and
I
never
felt
like
it
was
Adam
and
I
felt
like
it
was
a.
We
asked
you
what
things
you
would
look
at.
That
would
be
something
you
would
maybe
change,
and
that
was
one
of
them
that
you
shared
to
the
subjectivity
piece.
C
Student
achievement
and
Ike
went
on
to
clarify
I,
don't
mean
for
you
to
put
a
number
on
it,
but
I
do
wonder
when
we're
talking
about
a
strategic
plan
that
also
has
goals
related
specifically
to
how
we're
going
to
increase
student
achievement.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
that
were
measurables
without
using
a
number,
but
are
we
directional
e
moving?
Are
we
making
gains?
There
are
the
children
making
gains,
and
that
was
the
point.
I
think
there
was
a
time,
and
there
are
other
districts
that
also
look
at
that
way.
C
But
I
don't
understand
if
there's
no
accountability,
measures,
how
you
ever
have
a
conversation
about
what's
working
and
what
isn't
where
some
deficiencies
might
be?
How
do
we
course
correct?
So
if
we're
not
paying
attention
to
those
very
important
things
which
ultimately,
the
only
reason
we're
all
here
is
for
our
students
and
the
staff
and
and
to
make
things
better.
I
am
puzzled
as
to
why
that
is
something
that
gets
such
extreme
pushback
on.
B
K
Yeah
Rebecca
has
to
just
to
hear
from
us
just
as
we
spoke
of
the
contractor
and
as
you've
stated
Jim
a
two-year
41.6
2.0.
We
have
a
current
contract
in
place.
We
made
the
determination
that
he
would
be
frozen
in
the
1920
contract
period,
so
we
were
not
going
to
pay
him
back
pay
for
this
current
contract
here
as
we
discuss
that
made
it
an
increase
this
year
and
next
year
we
chose
to
to
freeze
the
current
year
and
then
moving
forward.
K
1.6
is
a
cost
of
living
increase
as
of
today,
and
the
2.0
was
an
increase
on
that.
So
to
the
motion.
I
think
the
2-year
contract
at
1.6
and
2.0
would
be
very
favorable
and
I.
Think
okay,
Rubick
did
not
ask
for
those
things.
I
was
the
one
that
first
suggested
those
numbers,
so
he
did
not
come
to
the
table
with
a
preconceived
notion
of
what
he
was
looking
for.
It
was
our
job
as
the
ad
hoc
committee
to
come
forth
with
those
numbers
and.
A
I
would
concur
that
typically,
the
ad
hoc
committee
is
charged
with
basically
coming
up
with
superintendents
raid
and
I
will
say
that
unanimously
the
board
supports
the
job
that
roof
Hawk
is
doing,
and
I
cannot
stress
that
enough.
John.
You
were
also
asked
a
question
and
the
committee
member
would
you
like
to
say
anything.
H
D
Thank
you
for
I'd
like
to
just
clarify
a
point
of
Jim's
motion
and
then
I
have
a
follow-up
question.
The
second
year
would
go
past
the
current
legislative
biennium.
Would
it
not
yeah,
then
my
follow-up
concern
is
that
I'm
afraid
of
the
precedent
we
might
be
setting
for
negotiations
which
occur
in
that
next
session,
because
it's
kind
of
been
pretty
closely
followed
that
whatever
percentage
the
teachers
agree
upon
is
the
percentage?
That's
that's
offered
to
the
classified
staff
and
the
administration,
and
particularly
with
today's
economic
climate.
D
D
A
Okay,
before
I
call
in
Bryan
I
have
to
say
that
the
past
practice
was
to
give
the
superintendent
a
raise
that
was
added
to
the
and
that,
basically
to
the
salary,
I'm,
sorry
the
budget
line
for
educators.
So
if
I
think
we
added
what
three
and
three
point
four
to
teacher
salary
and
I
know
how
this
is
message
is,
is
delicate,
but
in
the
past,
Rupa
would
have
been
given
a
three
and
a
three
point.
A
Four
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
negotiations
committee
and-
and
this
is
significantly
less
than
that-
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
because
I
think
that's
very
important
not
based
upon
what
we're
doing
now
but
based
upon
the
past.
That's
what
those
that's,
what
those
races
were
based
upon
so
Jim
did.
You
have
something
I
mean.
B
A
A
J
L
K
A
H
C
Okay,
so
back
to
what
you
were
saying
Robin
about
in
the
past
and
how
that
would
calculate
trends
translate
today
the
three
point:
five,
five
and
three
point:
one:
four:
how
if
it's?
If
it's
followed
negotiations,
are
you
saying,
then
it
hasn't
matched
what's
been
added
to
the
base,
because
that,
in
my
mind,
was
what
was
negotiated
right.
What
was
added
to
the
base?
The
result
is,
what's
already
on
the
matrix
Jim,
you.
B
No,
we
always
looked
at
what
was
for
the
percentage
of
increase
in
salary,
because
the
base
number
is
a
misnomer.
It
goes
through
a
multiplier
and
there's
not
a
multiplier
Andrew
pox
contract
for
it
to
go
through.
So
it's
theoretically.
If
we
had
done
things
this
year
as
we
done
them
in
the
past,
he
would
have
had
a
three
point.
B
Five
point:
five,
five
increase
or
more
because
there
have
been
occasions
where
the
superintendent
was
actually
bumped
up
even
more
because,
quite
frankly,
we
got
to
compete
to
keep
a
superintendent
with
districts
that
might
be
attracting
them.
And
if
you
looked
at
the
data
that
was
given
out
of
the
large
school
districts
in
North,
Dakota
I
could
be
wrong.
I
think
we
have
the
lowest
paid
superintendent,
who
I
might
add,
is
the
shining
star
according
to
everybody,
in
Bismarck,
okay,.
G
Yes,
thank
you
and
I,
don't
want
to
argue
with
Robin
or
Jim,
because
I
absolutely
respect
both
of
you.
I
would
just
like
to
share
a
little
historical
information
about
a
superintendent's
contract,
as
the
person
who,
for
the
last
nine
years
has
been
the
person
to
update
that
and
get
that
to
you
through
that
ad
hoc
committee
process.
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I
I
can't
agree
with
the
the
information
being
shared
that
it's
the
percentage
increases
tied
to
the
negotiations
process
with
the
teachers.
If
you
recall
dr.
G
Schatz
his
contract,
he
asked
it
for
it
to
be
frozen
for
the
last
couple
years
of
his
contract,
so
he
did
not
have
a
salary
increase
prior
to
that,
the
superintendent's
contract
has
included,
it
had
included
a
base
pay
and
then
a
performance
pay,
and
there
were
times
that
the
board
would
raise
either
side
of
that
portion
of
that
compensation,
sometimes
both
or
either
side
so
I
guess,
I
cannot
and
just
helping
share
some
historical
information
for
you.
I
can't
agree
with
this.
C
Jennifer,
okay,
so
we
did
have
the
handout
in
front
of
us
in
terms
of
comparison
and
I
did
look
up.
North
Dakota
comparison,
and
the
data
shows
that
currently,
the
pay
that
we
have
established
for
the
superintendent
is
in
the
top
50
percent,
the
in
terms
of
North
Dakota
190
in
Bismarck,
Grand,
Forks
195.
Both
of
those
individuals
also
have
doctorates,
West,
Fargo,
186,
I,
think
it
says,
and
then
our
district
210
and
Beth
is
the
only
one
in
those
four
categories
listed
on
here
without
the
doctorate.
K
J
I
would
just
because
I
just
completed
this
for
the
business
managers
and
set
it
up
for
the
current
year
so
for
2020,
according
to
what
the
business
managers
filled
out,
leaving
dr.
Gandhi
with
the
same
salary
would
place
him
number
five
out
of
the
top
ten
districts
and
I
can
share
that
with
you.
I'm
I
can't
share
the
screen
right
now,
but
I
can
sure
send
that
to
you
so
you'll
have
it.
Okay,.
A
C
Can
I
just
also
make
one
last
comment
about
that
in
terms
of
percentages
or
the
comments
that
were
made
around
him
not
having
an
automatic
multiplier,
well
kind
of
the
automatic
multiplier
year
is,
is
really
what
surrounded
one
of
the
concerns
that
both
the
committee
had
and
really
frankly,
dr.
Rubik
broadened
up
was
that
that
continuing
to
add,
like
this
on
a
salary
that
is
higher
than
our
employees
increases
this
salary
gap.
So
by
doing
it
continually
like
this,
that's
what
will
continue
to
happen.
We're
not
doing
anything
to
address
that.
M
The
memo
in
front
of
us
says
that
the
committee
reached
consensus
to
propose
a
contract
to
the
board
with
then
the
following
bullet
points.
So
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
I
know
that
the
motion
is
different
Jim.
What
what
you
made
and
I
still
support
that,
but
it
appears
here
your
based
on
the
memo,
at
least
by
the
wording,
is
that
the
committee
reached
consensus
on
these
items
story.
I
am
I,
have
two
kids
and
a
dog
that
just
arrived
home
and
I
will
mute
to.
C
Them
thank
you,
I
may
answer
and
then
maybe
there's
someone
else.
That
also
can
add
some
I
asked
about
that
Rebecca
too,
but
because
we
don't
take
a
vote,
there
wasn't
an
opportunity
to
put
it
in
the
memo
that
it
was
not
unanimous
that
it
was
200
to
1
so
I.
The
only
opportunity
is
to
offer
that
information.
You
know
Cheryl,
but.
A
K
B
B
We
need
to
keep
them
as
long
as
we
can
and
if
he's
comfortable
with
these
numbers
and
at
least
I
got
that
impression
this
evening,
I
think
they're
very
doable
for
us
financially
I
think
it
does
address
that
gap
that
you're
talking
about
Jennifer
and
that
these
are
less
than
we're
giving
out
for
our
rank-and-file
employees.
I
believe
he
just
deserves
a
15
to
20
percent,
raise
quite
frankly,
but
it's
just
not
in
our
budget
to
do
it.
E
L
D
A
B
Since
we
last
out
of
board
meeting
the
SEC
had
a
board
meeting
where
we're
still
discussing
a
plan
to
create
a
pool
of
funds,
that
school
districts
and
hopefully
in
cooperation
with
multiple
districts,
can
apply
to
tap
and
some
support
dollars
from
seek.
Hopefully,
that'll
get
finalized
at
our
next
board
meeting
and
be
something
available
for
the
coming
school
year.
B
We
also
just
had
a
subcommittee
sit
down
to
do
the
evaluation
of
Kyle
Davisson,
who
came
out
pretty
strong,
so
I
think
he'll
be
in
good
shape
for
another
year.
As
the
exec
director
there
I
have
had
a
couple
of
committee
meetings
canceled
by
the
city,
which
I
understand
they've
got
plenty
on
their
plate,
so
the
Community
Development
Committee
has
postponed
itself
now.
I'll
tell
me
and
I
think
everybody
that
fun
gack
knows
that
we
did
not
have
a
meeting
this
month.
B
M
Well,
similar
to
Jim
I've
had
a
couple
of
meetings
that
have
been
cancelled
because
they
have
to
do
with
the
city
and
the
response
to
Cove
in
nineteen,
so
the
Native
American
meetings
have
been
canceled
until
further
notice
and
then
also
the
work
regarding
the
core
neighborhood
committee
steering
committee
is
is
currently
not
happening.
I
did
share
with
you
all
a
survey
that
that
that
group
that
the
city
of
Fargo
was
looking
for
feedback
on
so
I
encourage
you
to
participate.
M
If
you
feel
that
your
feedback
would
be
valuable
and
share
it
with
whomever
you
feel
it
ought
to
be
shared
with
and
regarding
Communications
Committee
I
will
have
to
touch
base
now
that
we're
back
and
working
in
zoom
land
touch
base
with
Ann
Marie
regarding
a
meeting
time
and
we'll
probably
end
up
sending
out
some
kind
of
a
doodle
poll
to
figure
out
what
works
for
that
group
to
meet.
Thank
you
thank.
D
Excuse
me,
like
brandy,
I,
should
have
been
busy
I
see,
I
had
a
lot
of
meetings
that
that,
of
course,
hadn't
happened.
I
would
just
like
to
take
my
opportunity
to
thank
the
Fargo
public
school
staff,
starting
at
the
top
with
dr.
Gandhi
and
all
the
way
down
over
the
incredible
job
that
they're
doing
in
these
these
very
very
difficult
times.
The
the
way
that
the
teachers
have
stepped
up
with
their
online
services
and
I've
got
to
say
this.
D
These
brown
bags
bag
lunches
that
have
been
given
out
are
it's
it's
a
godsend
and
I'm,
absolutely
amazed
because
I've
talked
to
kids
and
they
have
shared
what's
in
them
and
they're,
not
only
nutritious,
but
the
kids
like
them.
You're
everybody,
you're,
dr.,
Gandhi,
everybody's,
doing
a
great
job
and
I
just
hope
that
you'll
express
their
my
thanks
from
the
board
for
what
they've
done.
C
Okay,
so
yes,
my
liaison
visits
similarly
were
cancelled
and
I
attended
negotiations
committee
via
zoom
and
ad
hoc.
We
actually
practice
social
distancing
and,
let's
see
that
is
coming
up.
Oh
health
insurance
yeah.
They
have
rescheduled
and
we'll
do
this
meeting
by
via
zoom
as
well,
and
it
is
on
the
21st.
So
next
Tuesday.
H
Thank
you
attended
the
ad
hoc
committee
negotiations
last
week.
Did
you
guys
were
the
first
ones
to
go
through
the
zoom
thing?
So
I
was
interesting,
and
here
we
are
again
there
will
be
a
negotiations
committee
meeting
on
the
22nd
of
April
at
7:30
a.m.
again
be
assumed
to
review
the
committee's
means
and
purpose.
H
I
have
also
been
able
to,
because
of
my
kids
at
home,
see
the
fantastic
job
that
the
teachers
are
doing.
I
have
reached
out
to
some
of
my
liaison
buildings
to
give
some
first-hand
reports
from
its
that
way.
I
haven't
actually
sat
in
any
liaison
meetings,
but
I
just
have
to
echo
a
lot
of
what
I'm.
Also
hearing
from
parents
of
commuters
from
around
community
FPS
is
response
to
this
from
the
top
down,
and
especially
from
our
teachers.
H
Adapting
to
these
strange
times
has
been
fantastic
and
I
did
also
take
advantage
of
the
lunches
being
provided
a
couple
of
days
for
my
kids
and
yeah.
It
was
fantastic.
You
get
the
lunch,
you
get
the
next
day's
breakfast
great
mix
of
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
and
a
meal
item,
and
it's
been
a
huge
and
important
lifeline
to
many
in
our
community.
It's
so
that's
very
much
appreciated
and
all
of
the
efforts
that
go
into
that
and
the
adaptation
for
the
lunch
program,
in
addition
to
all
of
our
instructional
programs,
has
been
really
really
outstanding.
K
A
A
Does
the
Fleming
they're
right
in
the
middle
of
this
and
so
I
think
the
board
is
quite
frankly
trying
to
stay
out
of
their
way
and
as
far
as
the
the
efforts
that
have
been
put
forth
by
administration
and
teachers
and
everybody
and
parents
and
the
kids
for
that
matter,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
acknowledge
and
not
only
is
their
curriculum
being
delivered.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
back
house
items
that
aren't
being
thanked
as
well.
A
The
HR
and
funding
is
a
beast
among
on
itself
and
I
know
that
just
from
running
a
nonprofit
on
my
own,
so
even
the
behind
the
scenes
are
just
as
busy
and
frazzled
is.
Maybe
the
right
word
to
make
sure
that
we
get
our
employees
and
our
students
and
our
families
taken
care
of
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody
as
well.
A
There
is
some
discussion
at
this
point
on
our
next
board
meeting
clearly
on
when
we
will
meet
next.
Our
next
regularly
scheduled
board
meeting
is
on
April
28th,
but
the
governance
agenda.
Our
meeting
is
the
a
week
from
this
Thursday.
So
there
may
is
a
very,
very
light
agenda,
and
last
week
the
Governance
Committee
decides
to
move
those
items
up
that
were
postponed
from
tonight's
meeting,
so
please
hold
August,
28th
and
also
May
12th
for
our
next
possible
meeting.
A
A
Maybe
we've
had
more
viewers
than
we
ever
had,
because
I'm
sure
we've
watched
everything
they
can
on
Netflix,
so
welcome
to
everybody
that
is
new
with
that
I
think
we've
covered
everything
else
on
the
agenda,
so
this
regular
meeting
of
the
Fargo
school
board
is
adjourned.
Thank
you
and
have
a
nice
evening.
Thank
you.
Have.
