professional contract time and ironically it is the committee that has the biggest impact on that very group which is also your largest employee group it is important that we hear your discussion and you receive our feedback thank you for your consideration of this request. april brings warmer temperatures and feelings of hope after a dreary winter our hope is to continue building on the steps we have taken to return to normal school even in the midst of a far from normal school year. we have seen some improvement in sub coverage student behaviors and building climate however there are still some buildings that continue to struggle in all of these areas we cannot ignore them even as we near the end of this year more than ever they need support in order to finish the year strong and set themselves up for a more successful 2223 school year. some of the assistance we can offer these struggling buildings as financials thankfully the missouri legislature finally appropriated the other funds to missouri schools cps has been allocated roughly twenty-four million expressly to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our students we recognized that a significant portion of these funds should support capital projects that allows a school operation with good air quality. however we know that the biggest impact of the pandemic on students was on their academic performance and socio-emotional learning we believe a bigger portion of the other funds should support learning gaps social and emotional learning and mental health support for our students and short people over project. upon reviewing the financial update we noticed that approximately 13 million are dedicated to capital projects and about 1 million is allocated for learning support and personnel so far of the 1.2 million in recurring addison's approximately 660000 is directly as they're funded. we hope that some of the other funds can be used at this spring to help our most struggling buildings to finish the school year on solid footing some places need replacements for staff who left before spring break some need additional administrative support we look forward to learning more about the district's plans for the remaining federal federal funding equaling nearly 10 million and hope that there is a focus on our most vulnerable title 1 schools. as always i appreciate the opportunity to address the board on the behalf of cm any a thank you for your service. thank you president fifth and gozo are not going to move on to the port of the superintendent of schools and believe we're going to receive a uk finance update from macarthur. yes thank you. so tonight we are going to go over our one-time additions and the directions to our operating budget as well as a recurring additions and deductions and then we're going to look at our overall salary increases in salary improvements for all of our employees and at the current impact to the five-year model as we know it today. so the first slide here we have our one-time additions and deductions for those are things are going to happen next year but will not be continuing into the future years so we have an adoption of middle school english language arts intervention materials for $50,000 and we have world languages french latin mandarin and japanese materials the current textbooks with our sun setting and will no longer be still supported so we are adding some additional materials they are for world languages of $150,000. our facility audits we've done two rounds already the last 2 years that were in our one-time additions and sober had the final round the 3rd of assessing all of our facilities with isis outside vendor a.m. to get the deferred maintenance costs and help with capital project planning going forward so $91,000 there the next two items have to do with our operating costs that are linked to our capital improvements again anything's that goes into those new building additions that cost less than $1,000 we like to make sure that that comes from our operating budget can we don't like to spend money your debt on items that don't last twenty years and so we have a budget for a russell boulevard elementary furniture and fixtures and our operating budget of 150,000 are jefferson middle school steam edition of renovation project furniture and fixtures at 200,000 and then the next one of our space utilization audit again this is in conjunction with our long-range planning to as a combination. cassidy review of all of our existing buildings along with that deferred maintenance of melting to come up with a plan a future bond projects that will need to be addressed as we look at those deferred maintenance on some of those buildings are i'm pretty something large numbers and try and fill out some of those projects that have increased capacity as well as i'm combined in some of those deferred maintenance on project so our architect will perform that i'm review of 250,000 continuing attendance area review with cooperative strategies there of 30,000 battle high school band uniforms on those all of our uniforms for a comprehensive high schools are on a 10-year rotation so battle high school is coming up on a 10-year anniversary of being open so with our band uniforms they are about a hundred seventy-five thousand to be replaced at battle and then a curriculum audit that we want to make sure that we are doing of all of our curriculum there for a hundred twenty five thousand four. one time additions and deductions of 1171000 dollars for the 2223 budget year. until the next couple of slides than our recruits recurring additions and deduction so again those are not just one time spent the other additions that will keep on for throughout the five-year model and will have an impact in each year of our budget going forward so our new information student information system the infinite campus i'm at to replace re school model they'll be running simultaneously next year as we implement and get all of our buildings on board with that but again you school is sun setting and so our vendor was no longer powerschool no longer support that old a student information system and so that's why we're going to be forced to move to a new student information system anyway and infinite campus we went to the rfp process they are and an addition of $120,000 i'm going forward. and we are going to have a new assessment tool for elementary and high school it's going to be approximately 125,000 we just did an rfp for this as well we're still evaluating those results but the range is around a hundred a hundred twenty five thousand dollars and so i will probably bring that forward to you at the next meeting, as a selection of that process goes forward with those new vendors. elementary classroom teachers again this is a collaborative process that we work with dr day wilson and i are dated apartment and also devon moore and meet with each one of our principles and go over numbers and enrollment projections for the next year we look at where they are now what their classes size of their looking like men as they move up into the next grade and start looking at our kindergarten enrollment sand as and we try to have a cut off of 23 students per class and grades k through 2 and then 26 kids for class and grades three through five with a focus on some of our title schools with even lower class sizes and to build a make sure that we are meeting those numbers and those schools that we all have to have an addition of for elementary classroom teachers district-wide and so that's an add of $240,000. on that line item and then our secondary staffing reductions are largely our middle school reductions again as we have those large class sizes in our middle school the last 2 years which is our current eigth and ninth graders are now pushing out a middle school and so the smaller sizes are pushing up from elementary school and so we have a reduction in our class numbers and total enrollment that'll be at the middle school level for next year and so across middle schools at the reduction of 10 fte for a reduction of $600,000 i'm on that line item. and on the next one of we've seen throughout this current year a huge influx of arielle students with our afghan refugees and other populations of students as our director of english language shelly fair has been trying to keep up with those numbers and so we're going to need a another 30 full f t e to be able to meet the needs and have a current student be able to meet the needs of our ratio of arielle teachers the students there for $180,000. i'm regular education behavior support that has been thompson and his team he currently has four individuals on the support the social emotional health he pushes into building similar to what are instructional coaches do but before behavior needs and our elementary schools and so we're adding an additional support person to his team as we know the additions are the social emotional needs of our kiddos that we are having is high and so 1 ft add there for $50,000. i'm the next line of our school resource officers this contract was already approved by the board back in january to add to officers at battle high school and wait for us for total hopefully in an audi wanted hickman and rockbridge court support odel for a 250,000 annual contract cost. i'm we're also adding a new program at the career center on new law enforcement and program it so we need to add one additional fte for a teacher to teach those sections at the career center so one left to eat at $60,000 there and also as we have i spoke before as we have his additional larger class sizes pushing into our high school's we also have a need for additional elective to offer those kiddos and so i'm we're seeing the large request and woodworking and some of those industrial tech classes and saw rad edition of woodworking and theater text sections at the high school for two total ft of 120002 below meet those needs of does elective. nolan middle school administrative assistant again this is not an additional ftes just a transfer of the current administrative assistant fte to an another assistant principal fte to be allowed them to do additional evaluation of teachers currently i'm the admin assistant cannot help with teacher evaluations and so we want to make sure with our with our middle school with the highest population of new teacher to non-tenured teachers on the evaluation needs of those t-shirts with less than five years of experience has a greater than those that with the more tenured teachers those requirements do you want to make sure that we have that additional support at liang to be able to help with those evaluations there until the cost difference between in the ministry of assistant assistant principal is $20,000. i'm also an add of the as we focus on our rela our assessment in our scores we want to add an english language arts 6th 12 secondary coordinator similar to what we have for math and science we currently have those positions broke down between k5 and 6:12 and so we're going to add right now are 6:12 a.m. coordinator shares duties with social studies and so we want to make sure we have a additional person that concentrate just on english language arts for our secondary kiddos and that has a full fte of $80,000. and then the next one is next to another conversion our practical art coordinator currently is retiring so we're going to look at we're looking at combining that practical art coordinator right now at the half-time position with an assistant half-time assistant director at the career center converting that to my help with workforce development at the career center as well and so that's an out of $20,000. addition of an occupational therapist and physical therapists of 1.8 fte total for $108,000 if we have additional needs or early childhood special education kids that are for kids that are pushing into our elementary schools to build support those needs addition of autism specialist of course we know that we have some specialized areas that we have to be to meet the needs of those kids in the rising numbers and the thompson center that brings families to this to our to columbia and to be able to meet the needs of those kids so we have two additional teacher ft of $120,000 and then an additional paraprofessionals to support those autism autism classrooms of 8 ft for $200,000. and then finally the last item on this page as a health currently our health secretary position that is shared between hickman and bad i want to make sure there's a full health secretary position at each one of those high school so in addition to f t e for $30,000 that's total fte of 14.8 on the slide and 1123000 dollars and total editions. in a few more on the next page and we want to add or add an addition of a college career advisor at battle high school again we're piloting battle high school first with the possible addition of hickman and rockbridge in the future when we want to make sure that we have someone that can meet with every senior to make sure that they are on track for graduation and have plans for college or career and to be able to track those students once i graduate and fail to report back on the what they're doing after college as well and so that's an additional 1 ft e for $60,000. the addition of a behavior support specialists at battle we've heard that they need additional support because they have five different classrooms at battle high school which hickman and rockbridge ellie have to each individually and so we want to make sure that we're and we know that each school has its own i'm burying needs and we've heard from battle high school they need additional support of its support those classrooms because it has a huge strain on their administration there and takes a half hour at least half time of one of their assistant principals and so we're adding that behavior support specialist i'm for battle to build support behavior plans and also be a liaison between the spread of ministration and apparent administration as well as the deep between the teachers and the parents. i know and we have all that decision of us fed support at the yes academy are yes academy was previously i'm at the juvenile justice center it was a day treatment program we moved it to a its own building that we have a high population of special-needs students attend that program us so we want to make sure that we have spent support for those students as well so we're heading into halftime fte there for $30,000 and then we are adding as we have our shift with some of our boundaries and attendance areas where he sings changes and demographics for some of her elementary schools next year and to build support some of those larger numbers at battle and shepard boulevard elementary we're adding an assistant administrative assistant position that each one of those elementary schools to support those titles school than those increasing needs i'm 2 ft there for $130,000 and then a nature's the nature school as we talked about the future going for where we're going to have a lead teacher out there to be able to collaborate with a classroom teacher. as they take their students out there to the nature school property starting even though we don't have a building next yet next year but we're going to be able to start taking filtered out there for our elementary kiddos and i'm work with the churchill mm means they are and coordinate with a classroom teacher so that's 1 ft e for $60,000 so the total overall recurring additions and deduction for the 20 22 23 budget is 20.3 fte for a total of 1463000 dollars to our operating budget. i thought the next items are recurring editions which are our rfe needs but they're not going there going to be thunder in from directly from esther or plum of our title funding and so we just want to make sure these are different kinds of just adds to our expenditure line and we have matching revenue that's coming in to be able to support these additional positions as well and so are elementary math instructional mentors we added five of these mythic spoiler in the current school year for 2122 and those were charged the sr-25 will that funding as that is used up we have we're going to move those five instructional mentors over to our sr3 funding that was finally just appropriated by our legislature last month and that $300,000 for those 5 fte will be charged to sr3 for my hope as for the next two fiscal years for this is just showing for 2223 but that funding will be available for only two years though so you have to think about. it's sunsets and the september of 2024 so when they're talking about adding personnel you can't add a hundred personnel that you didn't have to add absorbed by the operating budget after only 12 years and so we've been really trying to be strategic about how many positions that were adding on federal funding because what when that money runs out after only two years that we have to be able to evaluate the progress of that made and whether we wanted to have to be able to make decisions about whether we can absorb that into the operating budget or after we have to decide if we in those positions after the federal funding runs out. so i'm elementary math instructional mentors the elementary literacy coach has again these are going to focus on those title 1 schools do we have 6 total ste overall for 360,000 i'm elementary council counselor again this is also going to be on those after 3 hopefully for the next two fiscal years for a total of 3 fte to build a time need those social emotional needs of our end have the ratio counselor to student ratio i'm lower farrar elementary schools and the impact is $180,000 and then we have a math intervention specialist at both battle high school and laing middle school again for those additional instructional support and the address those learning gaps and mathematics at our northside school so 1 ft each one at lang and won a battle for $60,000 each and then we have a grant writer that's going to be charged it will charge out to various brands that are able to be written. salary of bill of charge they are for $60,000 and so our total recurring additions for 20 to $23 grant find out or if 17 additional positions for 1 million $20,000 and also wanted to reiterate not all of the other funding is included on the slide these are just the ones that have f t e and packed if you recall and we've done a lot of technology that we've also done was with one of our one time he spends i was going to be on us or funds that still planning it for the next round of lti pads with lte service for our going forward for next year that will be s are funded that's why this is the total on this page and then what you'll see later on the capital project doesn't add up to the full twenty-four million we still have additional service and supply but it's that are not included in these two slides and the big one that were evaluating right now is his tutoring services can we know we can't it's not all about fte because. if you're pulling one of your adding fte and buildings during the school day that means you're pulling those tunas from some other classrooms they were really concentrating on trying to be able to make sure that we can add additional services outside of the school day whether it be through stipend for our own employees we also are working on getting an rfp out so that we have vendors know that do this thing nationwide that should can be all to help support because again we only have two years that we can't drag this out forever we have to really do high doses of this and i don't think we have enough of our own people to be able to do all of that ourselves and so that we're going to hopefully be able to get out to help a company bill to help that support during those needs for the next two years and then also the thing that we promise also to continue with the after-school program and this is when we're talking about nationwide tutoring services this is not like our local providers i do after school in those type things this is people that have. like a large business up in the business of doing these types of things naturally that have a lot of people that will be able to help support. we also have an additional line item for our own local people do nonprofits and stuff that have a do after school programming that can also that we're going to talk to actually this later this week are partners in columbia to build a help offset some additional after-school tutoring and after-school on kasa's well for those. so the next slide i wanted to show you here tonight is our cost of salary increases for experience and schedule an improvement this is a summary slide as well at the april work session will bring you all of the individual salary improvements on salary schedules for your approval but again our largest horses are operating budget is directly related to salaries and benefits that we want to make sure that we're prioritizing improvements for all of our employees and so you can see that on the slide it shows the grand total of all of our employees in our operating budget is 2688 2680 ftes are just so stuff each one of those employees on the salary schedules just for one year as write almost 2.8 million dollars. and i knew you guys were going down a few hours until the total salary and benefit costs just to step our employees as 3232000 $364 and as we go over to on the slide to the right we have the cost of salary and proved that so what's were what we're proposing right now is 4.2 million dollars and additional salary improvement for all of our salary schedules including our teachers as well as all of our administrative and our hourly and non-certified employees for a total grand total of impact or operating budget of / 7 million dollars first i lowered the stepper employees plus additional salary improvement and then you add the benefits of pulsed to that and you have a / 1.0 most 1.1 million dollars. i didn't we all saw this channel allowance for improvement for educational credit that's the move across columns on the salary schedule you step down for experience you can move across as you earn additional degrees or as you move from like the bachelors the masters are masters to phd columns on there still additional funding thats available so i will definitely $278,000 for the movement across columns and we do have some savings from resignations and retirees that we see each year approximately 371000. and we're still in lower in year three of our three-year contract with our bennifer. um are for medical and delta dental for our dental benefits and express scripts pharmacy benefit manager and so those those cows were locked in for three years and so we're going to be going through the rfp process for those for the next year but we still have no increase to our total operating budget for those fully paid benefits for employees and then from the last two slides we saw the fte additions 20.3 fte for almost a million dollars 900 $28,000 ft e-editions that were grant-funded by usher on title or 17.0 fte for another million dollars so the total overall cost to our operating budget is 10020100 $37 for all of our improvements to steps improvements to schedule. an additional ftee that were adding to our operating budget for the 2223 school year. questions. and then our final flight i was like this i'm finished with the impact the five-year model i'm so all of that accumulated here tonight so the 2122 our first column there is where we'll end up for our current the school year i'm approximately 2 million dollars in annual deficit there and for a fund balance ending of june 30 of 93.8 million and that the healthy projected fund balance of 37.4% and again our months and fund balance of our is 4.53 a month and fund balance so you can see there as are in a deficit increases because of our expenditures are increasing at a greater rate than what our revenues are increasing so you saw on the previous flight overhead we have ten million additional dollars and adds to the operating budget we don't have it then the channel 10 million dollars in revenues so our annual deficit is increasing at a greater rate as we go across. the top there in our 5 year model. and so over in the 26 27 school year you can see the annual deficit above 9 million dollars and then our projected fund balance at 18.11% and that's just slightly over two months and fund balance and so we're going to have to evaluate how much further that can get us because our property taxes don't come in until december and january of each year and that accounts for over 50% of our operating revenue and so it's important that we are able to continue to pay our bills in the fall and not resort to any kind of short-term borrowing so by 23241 north in on 24 25 when we're around the three months and fund balance and our our projected fund balance is still up around 30% we're going to need to look at and evaluate what we what decisions we want to make going forward and how we want to address i'm additional revenue sources we do have the $0.11 that we voluntarily rolled back from our 2000. 16 property tax levy that passed in 2016 were taking that in 2022 23 and so that's already are incorporated into this five-year model but no additional increases stable increases for assessed valuation but not a lot of increases as we're seeing come out from the state for additional increases for state revenues or other revenues. thank you very much for the detailed presentation just one thing i wanted to pull out the other because you did a good job of highlighting everything but specific to the extra funds you can grab me four numbers wrong here but i think in total i don't know what the ultimate never end up being from budgetary perspective we thought were going to me about 34 million or so just between 24 to 24 million and 10.6 million for us or to check to we were spending so i'm in a tin so you know i just want you pull that out you talked about that you know we're spending a good portion of our money on some of these capital improvement projects across as many affairs has social emotional needs in their needs as well both team staff personnel and technology in others. things into our operating budget that's not on sr as well just because we don't want to add a bunch of people and continuing positions it's really difficult to add all that on federal money that you were not be able to know promise to build a continue after that money runs out feel like that even as we are adding we saw we added a behavior support specialist up battle high school that's on operating so that's there's another for the regular education behavior support for vince's team that's on operating those weren't even included an rsr funds because we have a commitment to build a maintain that with our operating funds that we currently have not on one-time money's going to run out in two years. and just kind of hanging on that miss macarthur when we say that we're adding in these ft in positions these are ftm positions though that people need to apply for and we hire them correct positions we already have their new features and those that want to work income in public schools that the demand is high but supply is low evaluate how we are you utilizing this if we're not getting the positions filled correct the number of additional ads again you can't add a 100ft physicians on esther because we don't even we don't even know the people don't even exist to even fill those positions even if we had a plan to be able to implement with that so you have to balance that supply. and the man of the number of people available because probably a lot of these specialized position is like coaches and mentors may come from our current teaching staff but then we're going to have to be on the back fill those staff with a very short supply of teachers that are out there in the end in high demand right now. i just want to say i do appreciate the discernment around speak on that idea issue seeing the way that you're focusing energy at a college and career advisor at battle as well as a behavior support specialists at battle seeing the needs in that space i'm particularly around intervention support in the behavior area and then mobility support for students to have conversations with an adult in the building every single student about their future plans is huge and i can see that the thoughtfulness behind the those fte that went into those recurring additions outside of a thor versus the the decisions made so just appreciate all of the the energy that went into making this decision i appreciate that and i want to say it's not just me back in her room making these decisions like this is a huge cloud of process that i work with my team with a cabinet with a superintendent with all of our building leaders who can who listen to what their needs are in their school and then bring forward to their appropriate assistant superintendent what they are. hearing about their needs and we've got this process a week after week and we have a huge list and we'd like to be able to we are like to be able to say that we can give them everything that they need but it's a huge process will start with the list that we get and be able to go through that list and be able to really think about what we went prioritize and bring to you guys. mention that we have some afghan refugees coming do we know how many of a robin. can you twin creeks and we don't know yet about our ukrainian refugee. do we have passed through speakers within the district or to communicate with the student-to-teacher ratio is above what we wanted to be in this current and i allowed to have to throw a director of esl shelly and the we've been working closely cuz she asked if we could like go move forward and try and hire these positions and their people again people don't exist to be able to hire that's like to move forward now to hire somebody it's difficult to even be able to do that. any further board discussion questions. take me to the garden on to new business and our first item is the consideration of resolution authorizing financing for the boone county nature school construction devon motion solution authorizing the preparation of documents in the taking of actions related to a lease purchase transaction to pay cost of constructing a nature school building and related improvements and declaring an intent to reimburse certain capital expenditures from proceeds of the lease purchase transaction as presented. second emotion as miss mccarthy the view where we are and so the finance committee also saw some of those numbers last month and approve the recommendation to proceed and move forward with the finance for a portion of the two million dollars that columbia public schools has committed to the nature center project us that we have i have tony segment here tonight she is a representative from gilmore and bell from our bond council and she's going to talk a little bit about the special financing arrangement that we're going to have i'm going forward for the nature school project. hi tony steigelman with gilmore and bail out of kansas city we service your van council just means that we come in and act as your lawyers when you're trying to give me an answer so i just been answering of the nature school and present project it's you know but what we have determined is a feasible method of financing and checks all the boxes as far as it's legal interstate going to result in tax-exempt interest which stage money when you're when you're repaying this. it's a little more involved than a typical sending it soon would be so i don't know if summary did you heather i know you got that after the resolution were you able to send that out to the 4th so do you want the financing structure document review it i just moved down here when you back up and you and you talk about how are school districts in missouri allowed to feed the ants building and you know just your voter's just to prove general obligation bond issue and that is clearly the way that columbia schools has traditionally for dance project cheapest way to borrow put your full faith and credit union taxi power behind it in the the bondholders love that and so they give you the best interest rate another way to borrow is through a lease purchase. which if its equipment you simply are going to sign a purchase agreement with us they are apple computers and you're going to purchase computers over up a. of time you're going to every make payments if it looks like a loan payment but what you doing is actually acquiring property and because there's payments are subject to approval through the budget process every year appropriation we call it it is not considered that and therefore not have to get approval by the builders okay every year the district has the ability to bored when you're proving your budget to not approve a renewal of a lease-purchase so again that is static power this is not considered quotes death. so what we're proposing here because this. you don't have voter a sortie specific to this project the idea would be to create a lease-purchase structure you have real property involved here and what what you start with is you have a site least that's already been entered into with the missouri department of conservation that was entered into a couple years ago in 2020 that site lee says you know all the caves the school districts to go ahead and design and construct this nature school building and to pay you know that cost and so so we start off with. that's what you're interested in the property you've got a slightly so you will the proposal is to have the district. sublease your interest in that site leads to an entity such as the boone county industrial development authority. and that entity will act as just a conduit it's just a flow through okay and the reason you go through an industrial development authority like that is because those entities have special treatment under the internal revenue code and they are permitted to issue bonds that are treated as tax-exempt for the investors so that's why we why we want to go through the industrial development authority typically the school district would be able to be an issue or that would qualify for tax-exempt borrowing but here at the end of the financing term when it's all paid off. the school district will have title to the building for the remaining and remaining term of your site leads with missouri department of conservation but at the end of that you don't have title to that building if it will revert to the state so you know 80 years i mean your site leads his 40 years with a 40-year automatic renewal in either party terminates so that's just part of why we're getting into sort of a complicated to me and some structure because it 80 years technically the title to the building that you finished and we'll go with the property and the property is owned by stitched okay. the cyclist. sublease to someone like boone county iga then the boone county id a will in turn least that right back to the district under a lease purchase agreement and so you asked what are you what are you purchasing you're purchasing the idea is interest there leasehold interest okay so it's under the lease purchase agreement where your payment structure will appear and that that's what you know the payments will be put in your budget for annual renewal the industrial development authority in order to come up with the money to put in an account for this construction the industrial development authority will sell a bond and that bond will we call it a leasehold revenue bond because it's payable solely from those lease payments that the school district will be making under lease purchase agreement. so ideally just be purchased by a bank you know hopefully a local bank of trust which is on the leasehold interest so we can't encumbered the interest of the state that we can encumber the interest of the school district police hold and so. what would happen if you didn't make your payment, you know and unforeseen event the lender would simply have the right to exclude you from the property for the remaining term of the site leads. hopefully we won't be here to worry about that but someone might. i mean. you know you you have great credit obviously and school district on an unsecured basis you know you just. find a promissory note the problem is missouri law doesn't allow school districts to do that so that's why we end up having to go through this process so. i know that's a lot but you have any questions so just the kind of simplify everything that you got there on this one question who has property rights to what we're doing here and i know during the 80 years of leasing like we will be a party of that who would we have access to it but who else does his wealth and any other no because by virtue of the sublease the sub-site least to the bank that then and immediately spac. the school district remains in possession. under the terms of the cyclist and its only if there's a default in payment or you fail to renew your lease that the lender has the ability to step in your shoes so that does not change the states rights and your rights. so we have the 40-year least 40 newell what we're talking about for the money are we spreading it out over 80 years what is the time frame of the fifteen years the district's for the remainder of that term and then the renewal of the bricks. approximately the numbers haven't changed a lot and unfortunately interest rates have been going up not down the last couple months but we are there going to be similar to what we saw last month about a hundred sixty-five $268,000 a year then i'll be transferred from our operating fund to make that principal on east lease payments on interest payment on that property for the two to cover the two million dollars over that 15 year life span. this makes sense it so i'm just curious you gave us a little bit of a flavor ever an alternate another option but make missouri state law doesn't allow for by way of a promissory note so there's a reason why we're going through this complex structure here can you give us a flavor maybe another example some other options that could have been considered to to fund this. one that we talked about i don't mind thinks she said it but it was a long but but it not being taxable on the difference between the taxable in the non-taxable finding a thing as a significant difference than that we're free paying in that that too that the two are payment like i think it was like point 8 basis points it could be up to point eight basis points difference between a taxable in the non-taxable so we don't i mean if we we can borrow money on a taxable basis to but then we just be paying additional and interest funding over the next 15 years as well again and again that the hit tour operating budget. you you borrowed on a taxable structure you still have state law limitations about how you can borrow so you still can't just go to the bank and get the only thing that would be simpler. in that whole whole thing i just described if you weren't trying to borrow tax-exempt we could cut cida out of this and then we would just we would just have to borrowing at least leaseback between the school district and the bank. but it is the reason that i can't get you to tax-exempt interest has to do with the fact that the district will not ultimately. to the property. yeah the numbers were about 9 to 10,000 points 758 and through at the between the taxable in non-taxable and that's like 9 or 10 thousand additional dollars each year that we could save i doing our tax exempt arrangement. further discussion. write about. before we go. are there any public comment on this item. see none. i just want to clarify that as a member of the waters family i do not personally stand to gain anything from approving any part of any nature school contract or land youth or anything i did check with the cps attorney to make sure that there is no conflict of interest but just in case anyone in the public had a question it was never my property it was my in-laws property and not only do i not so there is no conflict between myself and any nature school vote and just a reminder for those of you who weren't here last month when we do the presentation distribution becky russel at hank waters donated the land to the department of conservation and so that was their land but then. the missouri department of conservation also committed to $1000000 towards the project cps's commitment is 2 million dollars and then the remaining 1.5 million is coming from a fundraising portion from a community group that's doing fundraising so the total of over all suspected estimated cost of the project is about four and a half million dollars and again it's a joint effort between multiple parties found the bill to make this happen. further board discussion. a baby motion in a second. miss waves miss waters mr. seaman. bye-bye 7 to nothing vote the motion has passed on to our next item the consideration of the revised 2021 to 2022 school year calendar that emotion. i move to approve the revised 20 21 22 school year calendar at virginity. motion in a second and doctor book says it's going to give us an overview we came to you in january in the midst of the omicron will call it a crisis staffing crisis in space where we had not used hadn't had really any inclement weather that affected our school calendar 2020 we made a calculated risk ford made a calculated risk of that time at our request to take some days of school and also the calendar in order that we would relieve the pressure from the omicron situation the board did that we took three days not call them days the calendar is an hour's document not a day's document which is why the confusion and we took that risk knowing that doing so put us at risk. if we had inclement weather to come and we did february was significant. and we even had it in march so by taking those 3 days we moved ourselves out of the no snow days count against us to the we now have thirty-six hours built into our account calendar to make up for any answer whether days and after those for the first 36 hours a week and i'm not going to give you all the the math i'm just going to try to simplify as much as i can after taking those 3 days in january that with 38.1 hours for snow day makeup the first 36 at 121 and everything beyond that it's at 2 to 1 as the winter happened we needed just a little bit more time in order to guarantee the last day of school to be may 26th as planned and therefore we have we asked the board your permission to use april 3rd. that was originally scheduled to be an early dismissal day we can gain back 2 + hours which which allows us to make up all of our time with her with the inclement weather and make april 13th a full school day as opposed to the early dismissal. could you tell us how that has been communicated like kind of what that. processes like communicating our staff and families about this in like when that communication happened yes we knew going into the last i want to see the last to school days what was going to have snow days what was going to have to happen in order to keep our commitment on the last day of school so when the when the day in march are communication to to our families and our staff was our intention to get those hours out of april 13th the early dismissal day we communicated that with our principles well before that that that was the plan if we had any more days we were prepared with that plan and michelle bob starks office put out that information on the day of on the day we called the snow day on friday i believe was it friday or. maybe thursday of last week to clarify there has been some confusion as the the school calendar has not been changed on the cps website because you haven't approved it so we don't put counters out that are not board approved so we have a calendar at the ready that we will post if and when you approve this request. thank you so much for sharing that in like for y'all doing that proactive communication with her staff and their families just so that they could know that this was coming along. in for the board discussion. i want to clarify that.. is there any public comment on this item. see now we have a motion and a second this will also be a republic. mr. willoughby yes yes yes yes i buy 70 vote the motion has passed in a move on now to the consideration of the 2020 to 2023 capital projects authorization that emotion. i moved up your approval be granted to plan b in contract the various expenditures as shown with final authority to proceed incumbent upon final approval of the 2022 23 budget at the june 2022 board of education meeting as presented. s s and miss macarthur riding an overview. yes so are we appreciate you putting us on the agenda for us tonight on the thoroughly authorization always allows for us to use those precious summer months when our scholars are not in our building to make sure that we can get as many capital projects done as possible so like mister horn said it at southwest allows us to accelerate that planning and building of this project project so then when kids are out of school that we can make sure that we hit the ground running and get some of those things completed before they are back in school in august. just promised this before i start until our individual projects we were so appreciative of the voters authorizing i'm passing are eighty million dollar bond last week and so it's exciting that we have additional planning as we're moving forward here with our bond projects that additional 40 million dollars it's going to be well utilize but the listing that i have is over i'm sixty individual projects and a total of almost eighty million dollars and in total and local and the bond in federal funds for your approval here tonight for the 20 22 23 school year so there's two different documents you have attached to your agenda item we have the one that looks like this that is a spreadsheet and it shows the revenue and the the fund balance is in each one of our old bond project where we're going to start out the year with our projected fund balance for each one. those projects and then what revenue we have available so we do have about three million dollars mostly from our property taxes that is renewing local revenue that goes as part of our tax levy into our capital projects funded fund capital projects annually we also have a little bit of other state money some payment-in-lieu-of-tax funds so i can trust but largely property taxes and then also we have some irate funding i'm used to all the last couple months as we brought you some technology items that are going to be a 50% reimbursement hear a witch's some federal funds and so that the total of that local and state revenue that we have is a little over six million dollars and so the first item that you have on our or first section that you have on the actual capital projects fun listing here is our section for our local and state funding our new projects for. 2223 school year. again this is also a big process we don't sit around and just shook like projects and make a list of what the vet this project lest we have we go out our building sending list each building is allowed to submit capital projects for their schools we meet with our facilities and construction teams on needs that they know are available district-wide and we have left that we can never ever be able to fund all at one time and we have two been whittled down and prioritize until it makes its way onto you for approval here tonight so the first section here is our local and state new projects for the 2223 school year and that's the least purchase for this as one building on that we have we refinanced the structure on this building last year i'm to get some cost-saving for his transfer from our operating funds to our capital projects on for four hundred and $12,550 for that project. and we have the next one out the heart elementary we have a some touring upgrades that needs to be performed at that school for an estimated cost of $200,000 on for alpha another thing i want to do it while we try to like at least if some school submit more than other schools different various projects so we try to at least like incorporate some of different something from each school that submitted something so that we make sure that were spreading out the capitals and not everyone school is getting every all of their request another school is not getting any requests to. on the athletic equipment line this are scoreboards at hickman the battle and rockbridge for our for a football field and our basketball gymnasiums are now going on ten years old cuz they were all purchase at the same time when battle high school open until the control system on those scoreboards is no longer going to be supported so we're on a something additional i'm control system upgrades for all of those scoreboard at the three comprehensive high school until the cost of that is 143000 $16. the next couple items are benton elementary we have some side rock repairs that need to be done out there so we're going to make sure on that main interest main entrance there at benton elementary is a da accessible one that we have the sidewalk they are improvements for $30,000 and they're also need some cappuccino, table replacements for a ride over $7,000 and that's just we usually do someat areas all the time of that work with purchasing the mail and make sure that there is need that as of cafeterias or replaced some of the old ones were i know where an issue for the bulky and they were heavier than when they were cleaning the bill to put down every day 4 a.m. to move around for cleaning so that was a issue for with workers comp and so as we're replacing them we have some new options for them and also to make sure that there's some tables i'm if there are 14 88 needs as well. battle high school then we have a few items here we also had this partnership that you saw at a previous agenda that we have that battle on for social emotional needs but the partnership for the for those students at battle high school in thornton building a room there a battle for $35,000 so that they can have meet privately with those students. also battle high school upgraded will need to find art storage area on four instruments and also theater and fathe all the fine arts for $60,000 and we also always have a line for a chief financial officer for electrical projects as they arise during upcoming during the years to make sure as the project's immediate needs come up that way i have a little bit of money set aside the bill to allocate those throughout the year so that's $200,000 the career center of the grant matching funds they have enhancement grants and 5050 state grants that i'm a have to have a local match in a lot of those are for equipment purchases for the career center as a hundred thousand dollars is the local matching portion of that grant community relations has

capital allocation for the 22 23 school year. any questions there this might not be a question for you miss macarthur this could be maybe too soon of a question when it comes to that wall is a division of room 110 i have to go with mr. gucci up to i will always forgetting where but over near kansas city and it was dlr group our new architecture firm and they were talking about this idea of movable walls temporary walls and permit laws i just spent in this idea that these temporary walls being walls that can be built to divide rooms up that's a lot more of a like a sturdy or structure but those are like 5 to 10:00 your walls and so that that way the pipes in like electricity that run through that wall are more built in the ceiling level instead of in the wall so that they can be knocked down would that be kind of the approach that were looking at for this division of this room or would this then permanently divide room 104 time. will definitely not be adding any large amount of utility so whatever labor it takes to go up with a similar labor to go down so although it will be more temporary more permanent than it is now it would not be something that could not be removed at some time with with very limited labor. any other questions before we move on to our next set of projects. cancel the next listing is our federal funding again this is rsr funding the new projects for the 22-23 school year rs or three projects we have several hvac and air quality improvement projects that are on this list i'm to be covered with other funding the one thing in this was originally on rsr2 list that we have to wait it took a little while to get the evaluation done and so we have the board room audio visual equipment we're going to upgrade this room so that we're all with our audio visual needs $500,000 i'm also a chill a replacement for the for this building on $500,000 beulah ralph roof replacement we have some significant air quality and leakage going on at that school so we have 2.5 million to replace the roof there. and then the rest of these all have to do with hvac the vrf replacement at these older buildings that field and i can grant for $150,000 each we have the last phase of hickman high school i'm the first the most of the building is being upgraded with the air handling unit replacement in hvac upgrades with the sr to funding we've already seen the contract for that at 2.1 million dollars for the current year with us or to funding but we'll finalize that what the hvac upgrades to the concession area in weight room as well as the fine arts building for an additional half million dollars there at hickman high school also oakland middle school on the air handling unit replacement this is a phase two of that school as well again those ahuero or have been there since the existing building was constructed and over 50 years ago and so replacing the second set of those air handling unit that. glen foerd for 2.5 million we have packed themeach other and cooling tower replacement of 1.2 million rock bridge high school a complete overhaul of a air handling unit there two million dollars ridgeway elementary air handling unit replacement of $200,000 rockbridge elementary energy recovery unit control upgrade for $40,000 smitha middle school teacher replacement of $700,000 various districts school locations we have outdoor nature play areas of the puzzle is one thing that we heard that our survey for us her phone i'm that we make sure that we have outdoor areas for students to play so that's $500,000 for that allocation at various schools also various replace energy recovery units i'm at elementary schools including blue ridge parking we're all done at the same time i'm enough about a million dollars to replace those. west boulevard the boiler replacement for $200,000 and then west middle school air handler chiller boiler replacement for 700,000 so the total for sr3 funding 13340000. and then my next free products are just or carry forward for our current year these were three other two projects that were included we have hickman high school the air handling unit in hvac upgrades of 2.1 million the first round of oakland middle school air handling unit replacement of 1.2 million and then shepard boulevard air handler chiller and the boiler replacement at 2.5 million so the total sr2 capital projects with 5.8 million. have any question on the question so the last time she talked a lot about information if you get from building administration as you know making the request and things of the sort i also know that we go through the maintenance on it and it coming up where do the. what information do we use from those artists to inform kind of how we spend these monies on these projects and also i know rachel perkins maintains a database now and so in the last few years we've combined we also have work orders that are generated on a little bit more current basis with the work order system so what we've been doing the last several years and gearing up for looking at some of those capital projects that are not bonded necessarily bond-funded what are those what are the ones that are raising to you know to height a high level of priority so have we done that perfectly yet and no we will complete this for the very last days of that so we have a common assessment of all those buildings part of the long-range planning that will be doing as one of dr. yearwood's goal. this summer and bringing you this fall will be the combination of that working with our new architect and looking at how do we package that deferred maintenance that is not a waste flashy but necessary how do we package that with projects thing going forward so we'll look at what schools could we make picnic again progress in deferred maintenance also probably refreshing and giving you no remodels and relook and in building more capacity if i can. go just a little bit deeper you know we're coming out i'm in the area where we've eliminated trailers in our district we managed growth by trailer if we had a school that was getting crowded we need another classroom we pulled one in and we spent the last 10 12 15 years changing that so now as we look long-term and the next 10-15 years we have to be very strategic because we still got growth going on so we've got to start looking at when we're doing an addition we're upgrading to an existing facility we're building more capacity and not just getting by for the day and when we were dragging down number of trailers and trying to build it was very difficult with it it it made it where we couldn't necessarily build new as large as we may have needed it for long-term in the future but that has to be kind of our shift so from. from solving the problem with trailers now we've got to start doing that strategically we've got it we've got to address the first maintenance in in a major way but also that capacity and giving really good facelift good remodels to in reinvigorating at instructional space so that's more than you ask for but i think that just kind of paints the picture of what we will be doing and will be bringing to you in the next several months they'll be a lot of different stakeholder input in that as well so thank you commercial for what's to come from building sub-20 sylhetis doesn't know anything about so really encouraging building leaders also if they have a need to make sure they put it in that work order system so that everything is in the same spot as like if it comes from. the facility's team as well as the building that you kind of gives it more of a i've been to make it to the list it's going to give it some more power inside be prioritized even when i'm talking people are bringing them request to make sure all those are entered into the works work order system as well. like for example and laying out of one of the bill pull a trailer out back i'm like nope we'll make you a new room or not to buy we want to make sure that we're having students with them brick-and-mortar not continuing to add trailers like we did in the past. i have one more question on the second to with the av considerations for this room being knew i would imagine that we haven't talked much about kind of what the design looks like well so you might as well just stay up there or has been a lot of work if we didn't have a good way to broadcast via zoom to do those sort of things and we also identified a number of things that we tried to do as far as audio visual in n and pa in this room and we have a combination of several fixes that necessarily fix something but they didn't necessarily integrate real well and as we got into this you all laughed for us to look at what a real solution was so we've partnered with experts to help does. they've sent us different places to be able to look at systems that are working and that's what the result of this is and it should be able to do many things that we we wouldn't even fathom before and we also took into consideration this room is used in this format but it's also a lot of times used and maybe two different teaching and training areas do it it's a it's a pretty complex project to be able to do all those things being able to switch back and forth from being able to broadcast more effectively being able to incorporate zoom in and remote participation so it gets pretty complicated and they've been able to design this and they claim and they tell us we witnessed in one setting either the board secretary somebody in the control room. to run a lot of this bike buy ipad in an a touch screen and it should give us a whole lot more capability and but it but it is expensive but we learned some lessons during covid that we need to do do better for not only what happens in this room but what goes out for our public to better access that and have a better quality product going out. thank you i will just wrap up here our last few items arbonne projects course we are all doing a doctor year was and we're all as we were campaigning for the bond so many presentations done about those items that are on for the noob on projects that are being funded by the first 40 million-dollar issuing from the 80 million dollar authorization. just passed on by the voters next week the first forty million i'm mostly going to be allocated tour of the new elementary school on the john warner campus again the design and construction of that school for a total of 25 million dollars battle elementary sign and construction for the expansion for the addition additional willing to build on an r-2 shovel-ready project i'm built at school it was similar to what we see up you love we just never come build out the additional wing there as we need additional capacity on that side of town for four and a half million dollars. i'm the career center we're going to have a couple phases of design and construction for the expansion project and renovation project at the career center in seven and a half million for phase 1 and then we have to incorporate our son bond fees within each issuance as we issue bonds is it at 37 and a half million of the 40 million dollars and like brandy said as we're continuing to work with our architect and patrick packaging some additional projects on the additional two and a half million probably will be eaten up pretty quickly over the next few years. and in the final section on our last pages as the bond the old bond money i'm from previous bond issues as being carried forward are we have one or atletico improvements the middle school equity this was a project from several years ago we have jefferson middle school still has not had their upgrade because of course we're doing the big the addition project with the gymnasium and the steam renovation of jeff we don't want to do the middle school track and then have to have it torn up because of the construction so that we're still holding that funding that was allocated from a previous bond issue there for jefferson middle school for 470,000 and we have the jefferson middle school again this was carry forward from the current year we have design and construction for that expansion project their total project cost us over 10 million but we have 6.1 million approximately carrying forward from the current year to the next year parkade elementary is one of those schools that were probably going to look at some additional upgrades. we know flooring for sure needs to be replaced their at $850,000 and then russell boulevard elementary again we awarded this a couple months ago and saw the continuation most of the design and construction for the project over the next year about six million we expect to carry forward out of the total 8 million dollar project into the next year and saw a grand total capital opening from local and state funding federal funding and bond funding right at right under eighty million dollar $76,800 there and total capital projects. a discussion of ward. i said two questions so in in relation to the sidewalk improvements have been about $3,000 it's not the front sidewalk. more access in that main entrance area not out on the street. and then do we ever have we completed the the ada improvements at jeff middle school of the elevator and. so it's all part of that same expansion project so the elevator i'm improvements in the is all going on with us theme renovation on the gymnasium and so that it's still a year or so the summer of 2023 is when all that was supposed to be completed. if i had right now. any other board discussions. any public comments on this item. hi robin schulz and robin selvan shemale.com just a few quick things first love all the ada stuff thank you and i have to give a shout out the changing table i want to hear more about that that that it was a custom the special services makes me think that it's a larger one for larger children and it's the mother someone who has changed a five-year-old on the floor of the mcdonald's bathroom and many other public place cuz that's cute that is just gives our kids worth and so i thank you for that nature play areas by far way better than that the stuff that you buy all done my cat love the nature play arias thank you and i do ask that when doing those do you think about children who have mobility concerns and need to play on the ground with something at a table level custom of our nature center nature playground two really don't address children who do have this ability some too so please really just take it into mine and in the last room. comet the boardroom of grace can't wait wait to see them i think this boardroom is better than many i've been in or steam so upgrades are great my request with the upgrades and we're going to put a half million dollars into it please live stream all your meetings that our public right now there's only one that's recorded and the ones that aren't recorded or the ones that are often times during the school day or during a workday and so we can't go and watch them on the last time or one of the recent 7:30 work sessions or something like that you did i had to watch it three like channel 17 not cps and so i think if we're going to put the money into upgrading our system and this room that we need to utilize it and be transparent and open and have everyone be able to access the public meeting thanks. further public comment. senior public comment we have a motion and a second to be a roll-call vote. miss wade miss waters yes

you guys strongly encourage a safety measure that you don't follow yourself. i want to know when those designs will be took him down and if they're not taken down why does cps in courage mask-wearing.

thanks. agnes potter. there any further public comment. tara arnold at gmail.com i just wanted to give a thank you to whoever is responsible for making the decision to move esy summer school a many students from rockbridge high school to their schools that they attend during the regular school year or wherever that school might be attending sunday school and i was very excited to be at school at his school and not rockbridge rockbridge was never a great solution for kids that need routine structure and most of all of feeling secure and comfortable in their learning environment has made this much desire change i think now is the time to also be communicative to parents to make them aware that their child can access summer school with their support as well as their ief i know this because i've worked hard to learn these laws that our students do deserve a commendation for this. but not all parents of where i have requested this info from our ip team and i'm sure they're working on the solutions but this is something i've advocated for since my son was in kindergarten he is headed to 8th grade summer is the perfect environment to created atmosphere of collaboration and inclusion that can and should be correlated to the gym of school year thank you. good evening i want to bring awareness to the fact that last wednesday april 6th was para appreciation day thank you to all the amazing paris and cps my son's paris are phenomenal pears are there that make a classroom run smoothly one think cps can do to attain special ed teachers is to hire good paris making sure every pair of spot is filled i have some great pair of stories for my son's school but this is the most recent from last week my son nathan was nicked by a rat at the school last week no fault to the rat or the pair who was with him fingers aren't supposed to be stuck in cage it nathan look better when it's classmates heard what happened they rallied around him i was told the students were upset with the pair up with one student telling a pair of how could you let this happen you're supposed to protect us this is a testimony to the relationship our parents have with our students no curriculum devices our programming can replace a pair of so please intentionally invest in paris and i love seeing that there were eight on the thing i think. when is paris i'd like to talk more about the paris and of course my son school but i want to head on another issue a broken record on this one please add a language to policy kkb the recording policy you voted to do this in may and october when the policy committee saw that mspas proposed policy was lacking to ada language the board had approved the committee voted to add it have it added and november despite the votes of the board and the policy committee the language was never added i don't know who made the call to override of war and the policy committee i didn't think this was even possible and i hope you find it it's concerning his side to it is time to honor your vote from last year and the boat of the policy committee by adding the ada language to policy kkb. after november the policy was approved since then a mother a friend twice has been told she could not record a meeting even though she explained she had a disability twice her rights under the ada for suppress she has filed an ada complaint i sent you e-mails both times this happened with no reply and that's okay i don't need an email reply is because actions are more important than words by request please act on this at the next board meeting thanks. thank you. further public comment. good evening and this is my first meeting coming to a public comment towards the end and see why there's so many empty chairs here a g l y you that david 7 at gmail.com does mean for me to say thank you for working with the organization since 2016 we are entering our seventh year official nonprofit organization that serves students and families so the spaces are created for their highest potential. one thing that we want to mention there's actually two things second one by one to talk briefly about the curse for 3 years now. it's that teachers of hope and promise the word where we ask your students at the middle school and high schools to nominate the teachers that go beyond and above in the classrooms and so for three years with the exception of 2020 we were able to award $500 it's not what we want to convey is the partnership in collaboration with your students with your staff and so this year we're working with your community relations staff to help us disseminate those combinations to your students so that teachers can be recognized this year our goal is to select the winning teachers in early may and i wore them before the end of the school year again we simply just want to say thank you for your continuing work with were lisa round table. and we look forward to future work together thank you thank you. good evening everyone my name is brittany to tell mama and my email is bees to tell my gmail.com it has been a while and i'm thrilled to hear about the exciting work happening in cps because their names of recruitment and retention of the past three years i have engaged in the current fellowship surrounding the recruiting and retention of educators of color and i will begin to that thing my research how to successfully defending myra on monday my research focuses specifically on the impact of white supremacy culture on the attrition of black female educators black educator station why because they increase their more aware and utilize the irreplaceable contributions and wealth of knowledge and best described as black girl magic of black female educators historically and presently is needed even more so yeah. are 60% more likely to leave the profession than non-black teachers although there has been significant recruiting efforts since the 1970s there is a scarcity of intentionality in retention of educators but even more so as a teacher it was imperative for worley street to ask police before cps in the recruiting and retaining of educators of color by forming a support network back in february 2020 icu teachers are color support network officially launched. at the world sheet february community dinner and have continued to evan flow for two years however community support is not enough current scholarship outlines at the main reasons like he leaving or defect satisfaction with salary lack of resources job security lack of classroom autonomy and lack of collegial support as cps engages in this work of her attention i would strongly encourage the consideration of a research based strategies providing comprehensive type of compensation packages that entail housing in which address is the dissatisfaction with the lack of conversation. partner with jesse to see your age and or support for programs that specialize in hypertension preparation programs of black educators that has a higher rate of supporting and retained by a team of educators educators have a higher rate of supporting her so we need more of them and making sure that there is an ongoing development of black female educators through mentoring and professional development i also want to encourage cps to create this might be a valuation tool if you haven't already too that's why i thought you wanted to get her specifically but all educators of color are leading that you can better address and create programs to. thank you one second. any further public comments. sing nana papa, is now closed in a move on to
