The purpose of study sessions is to make sure that we have a chance to share information uh discuss important topics that the board ultimately will be making decisions on at the board table.

We are not only trying to operationalize the vision that's out there but try to find people that have done this and done like this before and we just happen to have a neighbor close by that in recent years has done this.

One thing that I know and talking with Miss Smith from Cooper and other principles in the secondary is that a lot of talk is about the single stall bathrooms...it's a really nice safe measure that we could put in our our schools.

It just provides a lot more options for the teachers to use instead of being out in the hallway...These ceilings were the same exact height as what we have at Samberg. But even walking around, there was a noticeable difference between walking on the carpet and talking to everybody versus then we had to go transition to a hard space like in their main entryway.

One of the things that I love about these spaces is they also live their students responsibility and you're trusting your kids to go into these open spaces and that's something that you teach your kids responsibility and how to act.

I think it's time to come together. I mean, and that's exciting to me as being here my whole career almost that to see that all coming...I don't know the financials. I don't know if it'd be possible to have two high schools with the same programming and the same um um offerings at each school.

If you think about having three houses that we're trying to keep up with. We're paying utilities for three houses...If what we can figure out how to do is to consolidate those even from three to two, not even three to one, now we're spending less on the the duplication of things, which means we have more money in our operating budget.

I think the other thing that really matters is what do we want the pedagogical the learning experience to be and I heard multiple times I wrote down a couple things learning on display right absolutely student driven and student centered somebody said that they were expected because of the flexibility in the spaces kids were expected to be active in their learning.

If we're putting this energy into designing for new or old or for what we where we want to go, it's kind of a it's kind of the physical part question to the curriculum question discussion we just had a minute ago...if the uh if in fact we are able to design to some of these wonderful things we've seen, design toward that. It also influences what the question is, what the referendum question is or could be.

We cannot...because the only thing we can do in absence of a bond is long-term facility maintenance which remain which means that we can repair like for like there is no chance of addressing inequities between the sites as it relates to a facility without a bond.

I feel like we keep using equity as if it means equal and it does not mean that. So, we don't want equal. I want equity for our students. I don't want equal. I don't want the same thing for everybody because not all of our students are the same.

I would really like to see us frame this as investment versus making do...we should be agreeing to in this governing body is do we want better for our kids? We can't compete...I think it's important to ask for the moon, sun, and stars for our kids.
