the spirit program moved uh to Swanway from the high school and switched spots with uh Cisco. Cisco went over to the high school, but we redeveloped a whole new area for Cisco at the high school. And we also redeveloped this whole area back here for spirit program with additions for what they needed.

This has been several years of conversation and planning and expensing this out and hard lifting to figure out how to make it work financially, too. So, thank you all for the work you've put into getting this done because it's been a long time coming and it definitely was a needed renovation at both the middle schools.

the budget was almost $700,000 that we only and I think this is a good grab because of electrical problems in the walls when they opened it up only went over top of our budget by $12,000 out of that.

those rooms at Klinger were two separate rooms we brought them back together again so they were aware of all of those uh configurations early on

I ranked them here by the top five and I did a experience in public school their amount of experience they have in a public school because a lot of them that applied didn't have much school experience if any at all.

if you have what you're calling an engineer of record, does that mean that if you have a large project, you cannot still solicit separate proposals? For a little project, I would say you call the engineer of record. They're here. They, you know, can do little jobs. But if you have a major job, would it still be possible to go out and solicit separate proposals even though there is quote an engineer of record?

the reason that we're we're undergoing this is in our ongoing efforts to really make sure that we're not leaving any stone unturned and that we're doing our diligence and looking at every contract that's out there to see if there's any way we can cut expenses or if it's just time for a change.

I know if Patty were here she'd say who is the cheapest. We have to make sure that we're getting the quality. We got to see make sure we're getting the quality that we want as well. So I think it'll be important. I I'm glad that you're doing a combo of cost, but also, you know, fitness for the

somebody that's not experienced in the K12, they could get us in trouble. I'm sure. You know, there's things that they would not be aware of that could cause cause us problems.

What what what is the reason we need an electronic sign at the entrance to the McDonald's school? I mean, why why does it have to be electronic? We go to do sell ads on it or what?

Every other school says McDonald school. Every other school has an electronic sign. They've just requested one and so I put it on a project. I'm not say these are a lot of these are liked to have, not always have to have.

If we want to continue to live stream board meetings, committee meetings, then we would need a new equipment and this work would take place next summer. I guess of course the the leading question is do we want to continue to live stream meetings? We're not required to do so.

I personally think live casting is very important and that is because transparency to the community is key to trust and therefore more information and communication out there the better off we are.

The tririccaster is what's allowing you to do that live stream portion of it. So to your point, Mr. Martin, again that if we do not want to live stream, this cost goes away. We could still record meetings and then post.

So, the reason we're only giving you the one quote for AVT is they've done all the rest of the room. So, at this point, we are a little bit locked into their product, unless you want to take on a 40 or $50,000 project to replace everything.

The sound system at Clinger Middle School in their gymnasium is absolutely awful. It sounds like like you can't hear when people are talking with a little bit of noise.

this money was put in the school fund from one of our parent organizations. Correct. So the money that's provided for this was placed into the school fund and that's why we if they would have kept it separate obviously a different they could have just so since it was put into the school fund from the parent organization we had to go out for RFP.

what I would like to do is at the point in which the engineer is chosen is to redo the costing for fixing the two pools. There were several options. one was fixing, one was converting to classrooms. I think the classroom one is just, you know, it's a bond issue that would be, but I think we should look at it because when Steve Sisero's grant comes out again... we should at least have the financials available to be able to make a decision.

swimming is a vital skill

each the the high school pool costs us almost $40,000 a year just to maintain. So you're not just renovating pool, you're talking chlorine, you're talking chemicals, you're talking, you know, repair, you're talk it's we have to have an outside company come in and test it every week, you know, everything.

Is there a possibility that you could put arrange to put an asterisk using a a template of wants versus needs by what would be an absolute need to to be done with an asterisk and then the ones that are nice but we don't have to do them that would be the rest

I will give you a three color code on priority
