[9.1 Library Media Services Update]
WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE MOVING ON TO THE REPORT SECTION.WE WILL BEGIN WITH AGENDA ITEM 9.1 LIBRARY AND MEDIA SERVICES UPDATE.
I WILL INVITE LISA WILSON, DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING, AND JONI HARRIS, OUR DIRECTOR OF LEARNING AND MEDIA SERVICES TO PLEASE PRESENT.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TYRA, SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS AND THE BOARD.
AS YOU KNOW, OUR LIBRARIES ARE EXTREMELY VITAL SPACES IN OUR SCHOOLS.
NOT ONLY CAN OUR STUDENTS CHECK OUT BOOKS, BUT THESE ARE CERTAINLY LEARNING HUBS FOR ALL KINDS OF ACTIVITIES ON OUR CAMPUSES.
I'M EXCITED FOR JONI HARRIS, OUR DIRECTOR OF LEARNING MEDIA SERVICES TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
SHE'S GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT OUR MEDIA SPECIALISTS DO TO MAKE THESE SPACES SO AMAZING.
>> WELL, GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT DR. TYRA, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT DR. WILLIAMS, AND THE CABINET MEMBERS.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THIS UPDATE ON OUR LIBRARY SERVICES.
I'M VERY HONORED TO HIGHLIGHT THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS OUR PLANO ISD LIBRARIES AND THE IMPACT THAT OUR LIBRARIES ARE MAKING EACH AND EVERY DAY TO SUPPORT STUDENT LEARNING AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.
THANK YOU. [LAUGHTER] OUR MISSION IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE DISTRICT'S GOAL FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING.
PLANO ISD LIBRARIES ARE COMMITTED TO FOSTERING A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT THAT INSPIRES STUDENTS TO BECOME LIFELONG READERS AND EMPOWERS THEM WITH THE INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS NECESSARY TO NAVIGATE A DYNAMIC WORLD.
A KEY PART OF THIS MISSION IS THE INSTRUCTION THAT LIBRARIES PROVIDE EVERY DAY.
LIBRARIES TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO LOCATE, EVALUATE, AND USE INFORMATION RESPONSIBLY.
THEY TEACH THEM HOW TO NAVIGATE PRINT AND DIGITAL RESOURCES, HOW TO BUILD STRONG RESEARCH HABITS, AND HOW TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT MEDIA, TECHNOLOGY, AND INFORMATION.
THIS INSTRUCTION EQUIPS STUDENTS WITH THE LITERACY AND INFORMATION SKILLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN OUR RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD.
TO UNDERSTAND THE SCALE OF THIS WORK, LET'S BEGIN WITH A QUICK LOOK AT THE YEAR BY THE NUMBERS.
THIS SHOWS DATA FROM LAST SCHOOL YEAR, AND IT PAINTS A POWERFUL PICTURE OF OUR LIBRARY IMPACT.
LAST YEAR, OUR LIBRARY SAW OVER 626,000 CHECKOUTS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 43,000 PLUS E-BOOK AND AUDIOBOOK CIRCULATION.
STUDENTS MADE OVER 276,000 INDEPENDENT VISITS TO THEIR LIBRARIES, WHICH IS A STRONG INDICATOR THAT OUR SPACES ARE STUDENTS CENTERED AND WELCOMING.
OUR LIBRARIANS TAUGHT MORE THAN 32,000 LESSONS, SUPPORTING INSTRUCTION ACROSS ALL CONTENT AREAS, AND WE DOCUMENTED OVER 8,700 INSTRUCTIONAL COLLABORATIONS WHERE LIBRARIANS WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITH TEACHERS TO DESIGN, PLAN, OR CO TEACH MEANINGFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT JUST THIS FALL SEMESTER, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MOMENTUM IS CONTINUING.
WE COLLECTED LIBRARY DATA DURING QUARTER 1, WHICH WAS FROM AUGUST 12TH THROUGH OCTOBER 10TH.
IN THE FIRST QUARTER, WE SAW OVER 176,000 CHECKOUTS, 08,200 AND LESSONS TAUGHT AND MORE THAN 71,000 STUDENT VISITS TO LIBRARY SPACES.
THERE WERE ALSO 4,845 E-BOOK OR AUDIOBOOKS CHECKED OUT.
I DO FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PLATFORM WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR
[00:50:01]
ABOUT A MONTH WHILE THE VENDOR WAS WORKING ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION, BUT IT HAS SINCE BEEN TURNED BACK ON.INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO PARENTS OVER THEIR PARENT PERMISSIONS AND PARENT GUIDANCE.
THEN THOSE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO FAMILIES AND THEY'RE ALSO POSTED ON OUR LIBRARY SERVICES WEB PAGES FOR FAMILIES TO SEE.
BEHIND EVERY ONE OF THESE NUMBERS IS A STORY OF ENGAGEMENT, A STUDENT DISCOVERING A NEW FAVORITE BOOK, A TEACHER RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT, OR A CLASS DIVING INTO INQUIRY AND RESEARCH.
THESE MOMENTS ARE WHAT TRULY DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACT OF OUR LIBRARIES ON DAILY LEARNING.
TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS WORK, IT'S HELPFUL TO LOOK AT HOW SCHOOL LIBRARIES HAVE SHIFTED OVER TIME.
SCHOOL LIBRARIES TODAY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT FROM LIBRARIES IN THE PAST.
WHAT ONCE CENTERED ON BOOK, CIRCULATION AND QUIET STUDY HAS NOW EVOLVED INTO FLEXIBLE STUDENT CENTERED SPACES THAT SUPPORT COLLABORATION, INQUIRY, CREATIVITY, AND TECHNOLOGY RICH LEARNING.
THE SCHOOL LIBRARY OF TODAY IS A DYNAMIC LEARNING HUB.
LIBRARIES ARE NO LONGER THE KEEPER OF BOOKS.
THEY'RE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS WHO HELPED SHAPE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE ON EVERY CAMPUS.
THIS CHANGE IN PRACTICE UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A CLEAR MODERN VISION FOR LIBRARY SERVICES.
AS OUR ROLE CONTINUES TO EXPAND, WE GROUND OUR WORK IN A FUTURE READY FRAMEWORK THAT ALIGNS WITH THE SKILLS STUDENTS NEED TODAY AND THE DIRECTION OUR DISTRICT IS MOVING.
THIS FRAMEWORK EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING STRONG INSTRUCTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH TEACHERS TO SUPPORT LEARNING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM.
IT HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED TO PROMOTE CRITICAL LITERACIES, INCLUDING MEDIA, DIGITAL AND EMERGING AI LITERACY SKILLS THAT OUR STUDENTS INCREASINGLY NEED TO NAVIGATE TODAY'S INFORMATION LANDSCAPE.
IT ALSO CALLS FOR CREATING FLEXIBLE, INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THAT SUPPORT IN, COLLABORATION, AND INNOVATION.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS FRAMEWORK WILL GUIDE OUR LIBRARY PROGRAM GOALS, AND IT WILL SHAPE OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT WE PROVIDE MOVING FORWARD.
BUILDING ON THAT VISION OF THAT FUTURE READY LIBRARIAN, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FOUR PILLARS THAT WILL SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR LIBRARY PROGRAMS ACROSS PLANO ISD.
THESE PILLARS REPRESENT THE KEY AREAS WHERE LIBRARIANS HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON STUDENT LEARNING.
THEY ARE THE LITERACY CHAMPIONS, INSTRUCTIONAL PARTNERS, INFORMATION SPECIALISTS, AND PROGRAM ADMINISTRATORS.
THESE FOUR PILLARS WILL GUIDE OUR LIBRARY SERVICES GOALS, INFORM PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND ENSURE THAT EVERY LIBRARY IN PLANO ISD IS STUDENT CENTERED, INNOVATIVE, AND FUTURE READY.
AS LITERACY CHAMPIONS, OUR LIBRARIES ARE AT THE HEART OF PROMOTING LITERACY ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
THEY DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS THAT FOSTER A LOVE OF READING, SCHOOL WIDE READING CHALLENGES, SUCH AS BOOK TASTING EVENTS WHERE STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO A WIDE VARIETY OF GENRES, AND THEY HAVE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS.
THEY SUPPORT BOTH INDEPENDENT AND GUIDED READING, HELP STUDENTS DISCOVER BOOKS THAT MATCH INTERESTS AND READING LEVELS, AND THE LIBRARIANS ARE ALSO COLLABORATING WITH TEACHERS TO INTEGRATE READING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM AND INSPIRE STUDENTS TO BECOME LIFELONG LEARNERS.
THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, LIBRARIES ARE NOT JUST PROVIDING ACCESS TO THESE BOOKS, THEY'RE ACTIVELY CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF LITERACY THAT ENGAGES AND EXCITES STUDENTS AT EVERY GRADE LEVEL.
OUR LIBRARIANS PLAY A VITAL ROLE AS INSTRUCTIONAL PARTNERS ON THEIR CAMPUSES.
THEY WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE TEACHERS TO DESIGN AND DELIVER HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION THAT SUPPORTS STUDENT LEARNING ACROSS ALL CONTENT AREAS.
IN MANY LIBRARIES, YOU WILL SEE STUDENTS ENGAGE IN STEM ACTIVITIES.
YOU MIGHT SEE THEM SEQUENCING CHALLENGES, INCRELESSONS, HANDS ON PROBLEM SOLVING THAT REINFORCE CLASSROOM CONCEPTS.
THEY ALSO PROVIDE CREATIVE EXPLORATORY OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH MAKER SPACES WHERE STUDENTS BUILD DESIGN AND PRACTICE CRITICAL THINKING, ALIGNED TO WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING IN CLASS.
LIBRARIANS ALSO TEACH VERY ESSENTIAL LIBRARY SKILLS, RESEARCH, DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, INFORMATION EVALUATION, SKILLS THAT OUR STUDENTS NEED IN THIS RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD.
ONE OF THE PICTURES SHOWS IN OUR ADVANCED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, A LIBRARY GUIDING STUDENTS THROUGH VERY COMPLEX RESEARCH TASKS AND HELPING THEM BUILD CONFIDENCE AS INDEPENDENT LEARNERS, BUT YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT IT'S NOT JUST ADVANCED ACADEMICS,
[00:55:03]
YOU SEE A MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASS AND YOU SEE ELEMENTARY CLASSES.ACROSS ALL THE GRADE LEVELS, THE LIBRARIES ARE COLLABORATING WITH TEACHERS TO STRENGTHEN THAT INSTRUCTION AND EXTEND LEARNING.
IT ALSO EXPANDS THEIR LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, AND THESE INSTRUCTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS REALLY ENSURE THAT THE LIBRARY IS THAT DYNAMIC EXTENSION OF THE CLASSROOM.
AS INFORMATION SPECIALIST, LIBRARIANS EQUIP STUDENTS WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO NAVIGATE AN INCREASINGLY DIGITAL WORLD.
THEY PROVIDE INSTRUCTION IN DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.
ONLINE SAFETY, HELPING STUDENTS EVALUATE WHAT THEY ARE SEEING ONLINE, PROTECTING THEIR PRIVACY AND MAKING RESPONSIBLE CHOICES IN DIGITAL SPACES.
LIBRARIANS ALSO GUIDE STUDENTS THROUGH RESEARCH AND INQUIRY, TEACHING THEM HOW TO ASK THOSE STRONG QUESTIONS, LOCATE AND VERIFY INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATE THEIR LEARNING CLEARLY WITH OTHERS.
THESE SKILLS BEGIN IN ELEMENTARY AND THEN THEY JUST CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS STUDENTS TAKE MORE ADVANCED RESEARCH IN THE SECONDARY COURSES.
ULTIMATELY, OUR LIBRARIANS HELP STUDENTS BECOME THOSE CRITICAL THINKERS WHO CAN NAVIGATE THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE, MAKING THOUGHTFUL, INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY USE AND CREATE.
THEN IN OUR FOURTH PILLAR, THE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR, LIBRARIANS ARE MANAGING THE SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES THAT KEEP EACH CAMPUS LIBRARY RUNNING EFFECTIVELY.
A CENTRAL PART OF THIS WORK IS COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT, WHICH YOU KNOW GOES FAR BEYOND SIMPLY JUST ORDERING BOOKS.
LIBRARIANS FOLLOW OUR DISTRICT SELECTION GUIDANCE AND THEY READ NATIONAL REVIEW SOURCES TO MAKE PROFESSIONALLY INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY FEEL BELONGS IN THEIR COLLECTION.
THEY REGULARLY THROUGHOUT EVERY YEAR, ANALYZE THEIR COLLECTION DATA TO DETERMINE WHERE THEIR COLLECTION NEEDS TO BE GROWN OR TO BE REFRESHED.
LIBRARIANS PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THEIR STUDENT INTEREST, ENSURING THAT THE LIBRARY INCLUDES MATERIALS THAT ARE ENGAGING THEIR READERS, BUT ALSO SUPPORT LEARNING AND ENCOURAGE EXPLORATION.
IN ADDITION, LIBRARIES ENSURE THAT THEIR COLLECTION REPRESENTS MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES AND A WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES SO THAT THE STUDENTS CAN SEE THEMSELVES REFLECTED IN THE BOOKS, BUT ALSO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM.
LIBRARIANS ALSO MANAGE A LIBRARY BUDGET.
THEY MAINTAIN THEIR LIBRARY RESOURCES AND CREATE WELCOMING, WELL ORGANIZED SPACES THAT SUPPORT OUR STUDENT LEARNING.
THIS BEHIND THE SCENES WORK ENSURES THAT EVERY CAMPUS HAS A LIBRARY PROGRAM THAT IS WELL RESOURCED, ALIGNED WITH DISTRICT EXPECTATIONS, AND FULLY PREPARED TO SUPPORT INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT LEARNING EVERY DAY.
THESE FOUR ROWS SET THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT A MODERN LIBRARY SERVICES LOOK LIKE IN OUR DISTRICT.
THEN TO BRING THEM TO LIFE IN MEANINGFUL WAYS, WE'VE ALIGNED OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THIS YEAR DIRECTLY TO THESE EXPECTATIONS.
IN THE PICTURES YOU SEE, THIS IS FROM OCTOBER.
IN OCTOBER, LIBRARY SERVICES PROVIDED TRAINING SESSIONS FOR ALL LIBRARIANS THAT EXPLORE THE EVOLVING ROLE OF THE LIBRARIAN.
THESE SESSIONS HIGHLIGHTED HOW LIBRARIANS SERVE AS LITERACY CHAMPIONS, INSTRUCTIONAL PARTNERS, AND INFORMATION SPECIALISTS, AND HOW THESE ROLES CONNECT TO THE DISTRICT'S PRIORITY AND THAT FUTURE READY FRAMEWORK THAT I SHOWED YOU A FEW SLIDES AGO.
WE FOCUS ON AI AND LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY, GIVING LIBRARIAN STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATING THOSE DIGITAL TOOLS TO ENHANCE INSTRUCTION AND ENGAGE OUR STUDENTS.
A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS TRAINING WAS MODELING RESPONSIBLE USE OF AI, ENSURING THAT LIBRARIES ARE GUIDING OUR STUDENTS TO USE THESE POWERFUL TOOLS THOUGHTFULLY AND SAFELY.
IN FEBRUARY, ALL LIBRARIANS WILL PARTICIPATE IN ANOTHER DISTRICT WIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SESSION WHERE WE WILL REALLY DIVE INTO THAT FUTURE READY FRAMEWORK AND LOOK AT THE UPDATES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO IT THIS YEAR, AND LEARN HOW TO APPLY IT TO THEIR PROGRAMS. AS WE STRENGTHEN THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES OF OUR LIBRARIANS, WE ARE ALSO INVESTING IN THE SPACES WHERE THIS WORK IS HAPPENING.
OUR LIBRARIES ARE EVOLVING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR LEARNERS.
THIS YEAR, WE FOCUS ON REFRESHING SOME LIBRARY SPACES AND ENHANCING TECHNOLOGY ACROSS MULTIPLE CAMPUSES.
IN TWO OF THESE PICTURES, YOU SEE HARRINGTON ELEMENTARY.
THE CAMPUS RECEIVED A REFRESH, INCLUDING THE LIBRARY WITH A FLEXIBLE STUDENT CENTERED FURNITURE AND LEARNING AREAS.
RECENTLY, SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES ALSO RECEIVED TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES, WHICH YOU SEE IN TWO OF THESE OTHER PICTURES.
JUST FOR EXAMPLE, BETHANY ELEMENTARY AND ANDREWS ELEMENTARY.
ALONG WITH SEFTON HIGH AND FRANKFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEY NOW HAVE NEW INTERACTIVE BOARDS TO SUPPORT THEIR COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION,
[01:00:01]
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE IN THESE PICTURES.THESE UPDATES REFLECT OUR COMMITMENT TO CREATING STUDENT CENTERED FUTURE READY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.
BY ALIGNING LIBRARY SPACES AND TECHNOLOGY WITH INSTRUCTIONAL NEEDS, WE'RE EMPOWERING OUR LIBRARIANS TO DELIVER INSTRUCTION, PROVIDE MACRO SPACE OPPORTUNITIES, SUPPORT INQUIRY AND FOSTER COLLABORATION IN WAYS THAT MEET THE DISTRICT GOALS AND THAT FUTURE READY FRAMEWORK.
IN CLOSING, I WANT TO THANK YOU EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT OF OUR LIBRARY PROGRAMS. BECAUSE OF THAT SUPPORT, OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ENGAGING SPACES, QUALITY RESOURCES, AND DEDICATED LIBRARIANS WHO HELP THEM GROW AS READERS, THINKERS, AND CREATORS.
THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN PLANO ISD LIBRARIES WHERE LEARNING COMES TO LIFE.
>> THANK YOU, JONI, FOR A GREAT REPORT.
TRUSTEES, SINCE THIS IS A REPORT.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, HOT SPORTS OPINIONS?
YOU MAY NOT BE TO ANSWER TO THIS, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN ADVANCE.
ARE WE TRACKING HOW PARENTS ARE USING THE NEW TECHNOLOGY TO EITHER A, KEEP THEIR KIDS OUT OF THE LIBRARY OR B SPECIFIC BOOKS THAT PARENTS ARE MAYBE FLAGGING?
>> DO YOU MEAN THE CREATION OF THE PROHIBITED LIST, FOR EXAMPLE? WE DO HAVE A WAY TO TRACK THAT AND WE CAN SHARE IT, SO WE HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH THE TEACHERS.
BECAUSE IF THERE THE BOOK ON THAT PROHIBITED LIST IN THE CLASSROOM LIBRARY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE TEACHER WOULD BE AWARE THAT THE STUDENT WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO READ THAT PARTICULAR BOOK? YES, WE DO HAVE A WAY TO TRACK THAT.
>> IS THERE A WAY WE CAN AGGREGATE THAT TO SEE WHICH BOOKS ARE I GUESS, THE MOST PROHIBITED OR GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT LIST LOOKS LIKE AND JUST HOW IT'S BEING USED? I'M REALLY CURIOUS JUST THE VOLUME OF A, STUDENT THIS IS AFFECTING AND B THE VOLUME OF BOOKS THAT IT'S AFFECTING.
>> WE'LL PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU. IN THAT, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR.
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR SPECIFIC FAMILY OR PARENT CHOICES.
JUST GENERAL DE-IDENTIFIED DATA NUMBERS.
I SAY THAT BECAUSE PARENTS OPT OUT OF ALL THINGS FOR ALL SORTS OF REASONS, AND I'M ONE OF THOSE PARENTS THAT SOMETIMES OPTS OUT OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, TRYING TO JUDGE PARENT CHOICES OR CREATE ISSUES WITH PARENT PRIVACY.
I THINK WE ARE CURIOUS THAT IF THERE ARE TITLES THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND OBJECTIONABLE, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.
I THINK THAT WE'RE ALSO CURIOUS HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING WITH THAT PLATFORM.
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, I LOVE IT BECAUSE I'M GOING TO EMAIL EVERY TIME MY KIDS CHECK OUT A BOOK, AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SENDING THOSE E MAILS BACK AND FORTH TO EACH OTHER, LIKE, DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY CHECKED OUT? [LAUGHTER] I DO NOT WANT THE COMMUNITY TO COME AWAY THINKING THAT WE'RE DOING ANYTHING WEIRD OR SINISTER HERE, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A HOT TOPIC.
CATHERINE, YOU HAVE GOT YOUR LIGHT ON.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD TO WHAT DR. TYRA WAS SAYING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE TOOK GREAT PAINS TO IMPLEMENT THE SYSTEM.
THERE WAS A LAW RELATED TO HOW WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS, AND WE ACTUALLY I THINK SHOULD TAKE CREDIT FOR BEING AHEAD OF THE GAME ON THAT AND STARTING BECAUSE I THINK IT CAUGHT SOME OTHER FOLKS BY SURPRISE, BUT WE WERE ALREADY GOING DOWN THAT ROAD TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO PARENTS SO THAT THEY COULD MAKE APPROPRIATE SELECTIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
IT WAS WHAT MICHAEL WAS SAYING IS WE'RE CURIOUS ABOUT NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS HOW MANY PARENTS ARE ACTUALLY RESPONDING OR WORKING WITH THAT SYSTEM.
BECAUSE AGAIN, WE TOOK A GREAT LOT OF EFFORT TO DO THAT, AND I'M SURE AMOUNT OF EXPENSE AND CONCERNS.
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW EFFECTIVE IT REALLY IS.
>> IT'S A MATTER OF QUANTITY OF ENGAGEMENT, NOT NECESSARILY JUDGING ANY PARENT FOR THEIR PARTICULAR CHOICES. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE CAN CERTAINLY CREATE A REPORT THAT'S JUST BY THE NUMBERS.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION RELATED TO AUDIO BOOKS THAT I STILL CALL BOOK ON TAPE.
[LAUGHTER] BUT I DID HAVE BOOKS ON RECORDS WHEN I WAS LITTLE IN THE EARLY 80S.
IF I'M A STUDENT AND I WANT TO CHECK ONE OF THOSE OUT.
HOW DOES THAT WORK? BECAUSE THOSE NUMBERS ARE MUCH LOWER, OBVIOUSLY THAN PHYSICALLY READING A BOOK?
>> IS IT ONLY ON THROUGH THEIR SCHOOL DEVICE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THAT?
>> THEY CAN ALSO DO A SMART DEVICE IF THEY HAVE AN IPAD OR A KINDLE DEVICE AT HOME,
[01:05:04]
THEY CAN DOWNLOAD THE SRA APP.THEN THEY CHOOSE PLANO ISD AS THEIR LOCATION, AND IT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE THEM TO A PLANO ISD LOG IN.
THEY STILL WOULD LOG IN WITH THEIR PLANO ISD CREDENTIALS.
ACTUALLY, ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON OUR LIBRARY SERVICES WEBSITE.
IF ANYBODY'S ASKING, JUST POINT THEM TO OUR WEBSITE AND IT TAKES THEM STEP BY STEP HOW TO EITHER ON THEIR CHROMEBOOK, GO THROUGH WEB-DESK, OR IF THEY HAVE A SMART DEVICE, THEY CAN DOWNLOAD THE SRA APP AND HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE EBOOKS AND AUDIO.
>> IT IS SO COOL BECAUSE I'M JUST THINKING WITH THE BREAK AHEAD AND THE FACT THAT KIDS MAY HAVE TIME ON THEIR HANDS AND THEY CAN READ.
THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT OPTION FOR THEM.
>> I WONDER IF TRUSTEES CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF [LAUGHTER].
>> WELL, ALONG THE SAME LINES, I KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING INSTRUCTIONAL FOR PARENTS THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST IF THEY WANTED TO READ WHAT THEIR KIDS WERE READING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION, YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND WHAT THE LIBRARIANS ARE DOING.
WHAT TYPE OF EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND, LIKE WHAT TYPE OF CREDENTIALS DO THE LIBRARIANS TYPICALLY HAVE? THEN WHAT KIND OF CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS DO THEY HAVE? THIS IS A QUESTION I GET A LOT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO GETS HIRED AS A TEACHER, WHO GETS HIRED AS A LIBRARIAN.
YOU COULD JUST ROUND US OUT WITH THAT.
>> ABSOLUTELY. IN ORDER TO BE FIRST ACCEPTED INTO A SCHOOL LIBRARY PROGRAM AT A UNIVERSITY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TAUGHT IN A CLASSROOM FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS.
THEN YOU GO TO A PROGRAM, A GRAD SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MASTER'S IN LIBRARY SCIENCE, AND THEN THERE IS A SPECIAL TEST IS CALLED THE SCHOOL LIBRARY CERTIFICATION TEST.
YOU NOT ONLY HAVE TO HAVE TAUGHT FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS, MASTER'S DEGREE IN SCHOOL LIBRARY SCIENCE, AND THEN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY CERTIFICATION AS WELL.
>> AWESOME. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT, SO IT'S THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE GIVING US HERE.
SPECIFICALLY, YOU HAVE OUR FIRST QUARTER HERE.
DOES THAT MEAN IF I MULTIPLY THESE NUMBERS HERE BY FOUR THAT I SHOULD MAYBE GET AN APPROXIMATION FOR THE NUMBERS WE MIGHT THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR OUR 25, 26 SCHOOL YEAR, OR I COULD SEE MAYBE IN THE SPRING TIME, MAYBE NOT QUITE AS MANY LESSONS.
>> EXCEPTION OF THE EBOOKS BECAUSE THE VENDOR HAD TO CLOSE THE PLATFORM FOR A LITTLE BIT WHILE THEY WERE WORKING ON SOME UPDATES.
THIS IS JUST IN REGARDS TO THE SUMMER.
DO OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE EBOOKS AND THINGS LIKE DURING THE SUMMER, HOW CAN THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MAYBE LOGGING IN AND GETTING SOME OF THAT READING DONE?
>> YES. THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE EBOOKS AND AUDIO BOOKS ALL SUMMER LONG DURING WINTER BREAK AND SPRING BREAK, ALL OF THE BREAKS.
>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION, DID YOU?
[9.2 Facility Planning Update]
>> LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR FINAL REPORT OF THE EVENING, AGENDA ITEM 9.2, FACILITY PLANNING UPDATE.
I WILL INVITE JOHNNY HILL, DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT FOR BUSINESS EMPLOYEE SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY TO KICK US OFF, PLEASE, SIR.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT, TYRA, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CABINET MEMBERS.
JUST A POINT SOMETHING ABOUT ME PERSONALLY IS MY MOST INFLUENTIAL EDUCATOR WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WAS A LIBRARIAN MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ON ME.
I WAS THAT KID THAT WENT AND CHECKED OUT A COUPLE OF BOOKS ON THE WEEKENDS TO CARRY HOME WITH ME.
I STILL LOVE READING. THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING Y'ALL DO, MAJOR IMPACT OF KIDS.
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO FINISH UP ON A HIGH NOTE.
WE'VE GOT A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT.
AS YOU KNOW, LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING.
HAS BEEN A BIG DEAL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW WITH US, AND IT HAS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TO IT.
IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, WE START OFF WITH STRATEGIC PLAN RIGHT AFTER OUR BOND ELECTION.
WE ROLLED RIGHT IN AND TALKED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.
WE STARTED LOOKING AT STUDENT CAPACITIES.
WE STARTED LOOKING AT BUILDING CAPACITIES, AND OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF BIG DECISIONS WERE MADE AS A RESULT OF THAT.
[01:10:01]
WE'RE NOT DONE YET.OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT DEBT MANAGEMENT AND HOW WE CAN BE PREPARED FOR WHEN THE NEXT BOND ELECTION TAKES PLACE.
IF YOU REMEMBER, FOR YEARS AND YEARS, I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME THAT A BOND ELECTION WENT OVER $100 MILLION, AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO HANG ME.
THANK GOODNESS, THEY DIDN'T, BUT NOW WE'RE OVER $1 BILLION DOLLARS.
I HAVE A FRIEND IN DALLAS ISD, THEY'RE TALKING $6 BILLION.
OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS, YOU NEED TO BE STRATEGIC WITH HOW YOU DO CAPITAL PLANNING.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE ABOUT 2023 BECAUSE WE WERE USING GOOGLE SHEETS.
ONCE WE WENT OVER A BILLION DOLLAR ON BOND PROGRAM, WE KNEW THAT WASN'T SUSTAINABLE.
WE WENT OUT AND WE PURCHASED A SPECIFIC STRATEGIC BOND PROGRAM CALLED OWNERS INSIGHT.
PART OF OWNERS INSIGHT HAD A CAPITAL PLANNING MODULE CALLED FACILITIES INSIGHT.
LOTS OF GOOD STUFF THAT WE CAN DO WITH FACILITY INSIGHT.
WE CAN DO HISTORICAL TRACKING, WE CAN DO FORECASTING.
WE CAN ACTUALLY BE EFFICIENT WITH HOW WE DO OUR FACILITY ASSESSMENTS.
I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER HERE IN JUST A SECOND TO OUR TEAM.
WE'VE GOT A FANTASTIC TEAM THAT IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.
I DO WANT TO RE-ITERATE WE HAVE STARTED PUTTING INFORMATION INTO THE SYSTEM.
BUT IT IS WAY NOT COMPLETE YET.
DON'T INFER THINGS BY LOOKING AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT YOU HAVE IN THERE.
I JUST WANT TO RE-ITERATE THAT THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
WE WANT TO GO THROUGH AND TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEM, AND THEN WE WANT TO ACTUALLY GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE PROGRAM WILL DO. YES, MA'AM.
>> I JUST WANT TO INTERJECT. I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY ANXIOUS AND READY TO START, BUT JUST AS A REMINDER, WHEN WE STARTED THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING PROCESS, THE END GOAL WAS THAT WE WOULD HAVE A POLICY THAT WOULD SET THE STANDARD AND FRAMEWORK FOR ONGOING WORK.
WE ALSO SAID THAT WE WOULD HAVE A SYSTEM THAT WE COULD MIRROR WITH OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT TO DETERMINE ALSO NEED AND CAPACITY.
THIS, I WOULD SAY, IS THAT FINAL PUZZLE PIECE TO OUR ACTUAL LONG RANGE PLAN.
THIS PUTS US NOW IN THE APPROPRIATE CYCLE WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO LOOK AT NEED AND FORECAST NEED TO ALSO FORECAST HOW WE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.
SUPER EXCITED AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, AND IF YOU'RE READY, WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO SEE.
>> YES. GOOD EVENING, DR. TYRA, BOARD, AND DR. WILLIAMS, CABINET MEMBERS, OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE THAT ARE WATCHING HERE TONIGHT AND ONLINE. MY NAME IS STEVE EWING.
I AM THE CHIEF OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND BEFORE WE GET STARTED WITH THE FACILITY PLANNING UPDATE, I DO WANT TO INTRODUCE MR. BLAKE VAUGHN, OUR INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES.
HE HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS ASSET IN THIS WORK ALREADY.
HE'S ONLY BEEN IN HIS ROLE SINCE OCTOBER.
THEN ALSO, OUR OTHER TEAMMATE, JASON WINK IS OUR MANAGER OF STRATEGIC PROJECTS AND PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE UPDATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TONIGHT REGARDING FACILITY AND SITE.
ON THE VERY FIRST SLIDE, I JUST WANT TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT FACILITY IN SITE IS.
IT IS THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOW PLANO ISD TO MANAGE ITS FACILITY STRATEGICALLY ENSURING A SAFE AND WELL MAINTAINED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF WHILE OPTIMIZING THE USE OF RESOURCES.
THE SOFTWARE WILL ENABLE THE DISTRICT TO MAKE INFORMED DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS ABOUT REPAIRS, RENOVATIONS, AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT, AND OTHER FUTURE BOND PLANNING NEEDS.
LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF FACILITY INSIGHT.
DATA INFORMED DECISION MAKING, ORGANIZATIONAL IMPROVEMENT, INTERNAL COLLABORATION, LONG RANGE, CAPITAL PLANNING, HISTORICAL TRACKING, FORECASTING, EFFICIENT FACILITY ASSESSMENT, BOND PLANNING SUPPORT SUCH AS OUR PHASING, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND REPORTING TOOLS.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A PREVIEW OF SOME OF WHAT THOSE REPORTING TOOLS LOOK LIKE LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.
THE NEXT SLIDE DISCUSSES OUR DATA CATEGORIES.
THE FOLLOWING FACILITIES AND AREAS ARE EXAMPLES OF THE DATA THAT PLANO ISD WILL PUT INTO FACILITY INSIGHT.
MOST OF THESE ARE VERY COMMON AND NORMAL ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY CAMPUSES, BUT ALSO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPREHENSIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM AND THAT IT CAN REACH ACROSS OUR DISTRICT IN MANY AREAS, AUXILIARY BUILDINGS, ATHLETICS, TECHNOLOGY, CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, ETC.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE.
[01:15:01]
THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS AND THIS IS LINEAR.COURTNEY REEVES, MY GOOD FRIEND AND TEAMMATE SAID I NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THIS IS LINEAR.
STEP 1, BUILD A FACILITY CATALOG.
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS BASICALLY, WHAT DO WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT? WHAT ARE OUR FACILITIES, AND THEN IDENTIFY AND BUILD SYSTEMS FOR EACH FACILITY.
THAT IS IN PROGRESS, AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS IS LIKE OUR TABLE OF CONTENTS.
WHETHER THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT EIGHT SQUARE FEET, MAJOR SYSTEMS, PARKING, PLAYGROUNDS, I COULD CONTINUE WITH THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THAT WE WOULD IDENTIFY, AND THEN CREATE THOSE ASSESSMENTS.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ASSESS WITH OUR SYSTEMS AT OUR FACILITIES.
AS I'VE BEEN LEARNING THE SYSTEM, I'VE LEARNED THAT IT'S EASY TO SAY HVAC, BUT WHAT IT'S NOT EASY TO DO IS HVAC THEN GOES TO ROOFTOP UNITS AND DUCT WORK AND CONTROLS AND DISPOSAL FEES AND THINGS I NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT AND I'M LEARNING ABOUT EVERY DAY.
THANKFULLY, I HAVE GREAT TEAMMATES IN OUR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT.
THEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL PROJECTS AND CREATE THOSE LARGE OVERALL PROJECTS.
YOU COULD HAVE VARIOUS SUB PROJECTS WITHIN ONE FACILITY, BUT THE OVERALL PROJECT COULD BE THAT FACILITY.
>> THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT STEP 6 IS ADDING IN THE ESCALATION RATES.
IF YOU HAD AN HVAC IMPROVEMENT AT 6% AND IT WAS A $1 MILLION.
TODAY, IN THREE YEARS, THAT MIGHT BE $1.2 MILLION WITH THAT ESCALATION.
THEN STEP 7 IS, I THINK, THE STEP THAT A LOT OF FOLKS CERTAINLY GET EXCITED ABOUT, AND THAT'S CREATING YOUR BOND SCENARIOS.
WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE ON A LARGE SCALE? PART OF THIS PROCESS IS ALSO ASSESSING OUR FACILITIES.
WE HAVE DONE THIS IN THE PAST.
IF YOU GO BACK ALL THE WAY TO 2021 WITH THE BOND AND 2023 WITH LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANNING, WE DID ASSESS OUR FACILITIES FOR THAT WORK.
ONE THING I WOULD BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION HERE IS THE LIFE CYCLE AND THE IT USEFUL LIFE IS 70% OF THE SCORE, AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
WORK ORDER HISTORY. WE USE A SOFTWARE PLATFORM, MAINTENANCE CONNECTION, THAT IS 15% OF THAT SCORE, AND THEN THE VISUAL ASSESSMENTS BY OUR DISTRICT STAFF, OUR CONSULTANTS.
THESE ARE OUR TRADE-SPECIFIC EXPERTS THAT GO IN AND THE VISUALLY LOOK AT OUR FACILITIES.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. AT THE TOP.
YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE HEADINGS, CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL, FIRE SYSTEM, ETC.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SCORES THERE ARE, AND WE'LL GET INTO WHAT THESE SCORES MEAN IN JUST A SECOND.
>> STEVE, CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION? THAT SOFTWARE THAT YOU SAY IS THE WORK ORDER HISTORY, 15%.
IS THAT A SOFTWARE PROGRAM WE ALREADY HAD, OR IS THAT PART?
>> YES, MA'AM. MAINTENANCE CONNECTION IS THE CURRENT SOFTWARE WE USE TO ENTER WORK ORDERS.
MONITOR AND TRACK WORK ORDERS, LOOK IN THIS CASE, HISTORICAL.
>> OF COURSE. LET'S CONTINUE WITH THE FACILITY ASSESSMENT INFORMATION.
JUST TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT TO THE SCORES.
A SCORE THAT WOULD BE 1-30, IMMEDIATE OR MUST-DO.
POOR SHOULD DO FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORE OF 30-55.
FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORE 56-70, GOOD OR FUTURE.
FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORE OF 71-90, EXCELLENT, MAINTENANCE ONLY FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORE 91-100.
AGAIN, A VERY IMPORTANT OF THE PROCESS AS WE LOOK TO FUTURE FACILITY PLANNING, IS UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITIONS OF OUR FACILITIES AS THEY ARE.
THEN THIS PIECE, FACILITY CONDITION INDEX, THE FCI, JOHNNY, I WAS GOING TO SEE IF YOU WOULD EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE MY WAY OF EXPLAINING IT IS FIX IT OR REPLACE IT, AND I THINK THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO SAY IT.
IT'S BASICALLY YOUR DEFERRED COST.
WHEN YOU ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE STUFF THAT MAKES UP ONE OF YOUR CAMPUSES, EVERYTHING TOGETHER, YOU ASSIGNED ALL THOSE COMPONENTS WITHIN THAT CAMPUS, YOU'LL ASSIGN IT A VALUE, AND OF COURSE, THAT ESCALATES THAT INCREASES OVER TIME.
BUT AT SOME POINT, YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
[01:20:01]
DO YOU NEED TO REPAIR ALL THE STUFF THAT'S IN THAT BUILDING, OR IS IT BETTER TO TEAR IT DOWN AND REBUILD IT? WE'VE MADE THOSE DECISIONS WITH WILLIAMS, WE MADE THE DECISION WITH AGRID JUST RECENTLY.BUT WE NEED AN OBJECTIVE WAY TO ACTUALLY REPORT THAT OUT.
THIS SYSTEM, FCI, IS A BENCHMARK THAT'S BEEN USED FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
THIS SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW US TO ACTUALLY DO AN FCI ON OUR FACILITIES. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
AT SOME POINT, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE THE DECISION, YOU FIX IT, OR YOU REPLACE IT.
>> NOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A PREVIEW OF FACILITY INSIGHT.
ONE THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DO A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING IS THIS IS INITIAL DATA.
WE'VE JUST BEGUN THIS PROCESS.
JASON, MR. WINK, JOINED US JUST THIS SEMESTER, AND HE IS CRITICAL.
I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER, HE ACTUALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING THE DATA INTO FACILITY INSIGHT.
HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR GATHERING OUR TEAMS. WE TALKED ABOUT CONTRACT, THE EXPERTS, THE TRADE, DOING ALL OF THAT WORK THAT WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT.
JASON IS ONE OF OUR MAIN FOLKS THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.
IT IS A LOT OF WORK. IT IS VERY INTENSIVE. IT'S VERY TEDIOUS.
I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS JUST INITIAL DATA, AND PLEASE DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN ANY OF THE DATA TONIGHT.
ON THIS FIRST EXAMPLE OF A REPORT IT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE 42 FACILITIES ENTERED.
JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT, THOSE ARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THEY COVER 3.25 MILLION SQUARE FEET.
THIS REPORT LETS US KNOW THAT THE ASSESSED VALUE THAT HAS BEEN ENTERED IS $269 MILLION.
IF YOU LOOK JUST BELOW THAT IN THE DOUGHNUT THERE, IT LETS YOU KNOW THE CONDITION OF THAT INFORMATION AND THE COST, AND THAT NUMBER WILL ADD BACK UP TO 269 THERE TO GIVE YOU THAT REFERENCE.
TO THE RIGHT, IT ACTUALLY GIVES YOU THE ASSESSMENT BY CAMPUS.
AGAIN, THIS IS VERY INITIAL DATA, SO PLEASE, DON'T CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH THE CAMPUS NAME HERE FOR TONIGHT'S PURPOSES.
IN THESE 42 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WE'VE IDENTIFIED 61 PROJECTS AT THIS POINT.
NOTICE THAT THE NEXT NUMBER 296 MILLION 0.75 MILLION, THAT IS INCLUDING YOUR ESCALATION, YOUR INFLATION, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THOSE NUMBERS.
TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, YOU'LL SEE THE PROJECT TYPE, AND TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE PROJECTS BY CATEGORY, WHICH WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TODAY.
WHAT CATEGORIES? THEN, BELOW THAT BLANK AS IT SHOULD BE THE BOND SCENARIOS.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE REPORT THAT WE HAVE, AND WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU ANOTHER ONE.
I'LL HOW YOU SEVERAL, NOT JUST ANOTHER ONE.
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, I SEE A LOT OF PROFILE DATA.
I SEE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE 42 CAMPUSES ENTERED.
WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE ELEMENTARY, AS IT INDICATES HERE.
WE STILL KNOW THERE'S 42, WE STILL KNOW IT'S 3.25 MILLION SQUARE FEET.
WE ALSO KNOW WHEN THE FACILITY WAS ADDED BY YEAR.
THERE'S DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIONS, THERE'S THE BIOGRAPH, BUT THEN DOWN BELOW, YOU ALSO HAVE THE TABLE AS WELL THAT PROVIDES VERY SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAMPUS, THE SQUARE FEET, CAPACITY.
THEN YOU CAN SEE IF IT'S BEEN RENOVATED AND WHEN THAT OCCURRED, OR IF IT WILL OCCUR ALREADY SCHEDULED, BUT THEN YOU'LL ALSO ONE THING THAT MAY STICK OUT.
AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO GO DOWN THE NUMBER ROW TONIGHT, BUT YOU'LL SEE THE E, RIGHT? THEN, TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, YOU'LL SEE THE BUBBLES THERE, AND THEY INDICATE JASON.
>> BUBBLES, YOU SEE THE SQUARE FEET, THE BIGGER CIRCLE.
>> STEVEN ENROLLMENT. OVER CAPACITY, YOU'RE ABLE TO FILTER THAT WAY.
>> THANK YOU, JASON. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE.
AGAIN, THIS IS DATA. THIS IS NOT TELLING ME TO DO ANYTHING.
THIS IS PROVIDING INFORMATION.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ANOTHER ONE.
ON THE TOP OF THIS REPORT, AGAIN, YOU KNOW IT'S STILL 42 SCHOOLS, 269 MILLION.
YOU ALSO HAVE FILTERS THAT YOU CAN SEE NOW AT THE TOP, REPLACEMENT COSTS.
YOU CAN FILTER BY CAMPUS NAME, BY COST, AND COUNT AS WELL.
IN TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE THE BAR GRAPH, YOU'LL SEE THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NAMES, YOU'LL SEE THE ASSET VALUES,
[01:25:02]
AND THEN TO THE RIGHT, YOU HAVE TWO DONUTS.THESE DOUGHNUTS SHOULD MOSTLY ALIGN, AND YOU'LL SEE THE PRIORITY WITH THE DOUGHNUT TO THE RIGHT, AND YOU'LL SEE THE VOCABULARY THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALREADY THIS EVENING.
THEN, IF YOU LOOK BELOW UNDER CONDITION, YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT THE VOCABULARY WILL ALIGN TO THE VOCABULARY AND PRIORITY.
EXAMPLE, MUST DO, YOU CAN'T SEE THAT ON HERE, BUT IT SAYS IMMEDIATE IS BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A VERY SMALL PIECE.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT PORE, WHERE IT SAYS SHOULD AND THEN I'M SORRY, POOR DOWN BELOW, AND THEN ABOVE IN PRIORITY, IT'S GOING TO SAY SHOULD, AND THOSE WILL ALIGN TO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION.
IN THIS SLIDE, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE'VE ALREADY SEEN.
THIS IS VERY REFLECTIVE OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, BUT THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES, AND THERE ARE SOME TREMENDOUS SIMILARITIES HERE AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE THE ASSESSMENT BY CAMPUS.
WE STILL KNOW THAT IT'S THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE ASSET VALUE AT 269, WE STILL SEE THE PRIORITIES, WE STILL SEE THE CONDITIONS.
THEN ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE DOUGHNUT GRAPH THEN ALSO BREAKS OUT THE CATEGORIES AS WELL BY THE MILLIONS IN BUILDING SYSTEM L2, IT IS WHAT FACILITY INSIGHT USES TO CATEGORIZE THESE AREAS.
THEN, DOWN BELOW THAT ASSESSMENT YEAR, THAT'S 2025, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE TABLE THAT ACTUALLY DELINEATES BY CAMPUS, AND YOU'LL SEE THE SYSTEMS IN THIS CASE, HEATING, VENTILATION, COOLING SYSTEMS, A DESCRIPTION THERE THAT WE ADD INFORMATION TO, AND THEN A CONDITION, THE CURRENT STATUS, AND THEN THE COST ESTIMATE.
THAT COST IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, WILL ALIGN TO THAT $269 MILLION.
AGAIN, DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT INFORMATION AND DATA HERE.
I WOULD SAY ON THIS SLIDE, ONE THING THAT STICKS OUT TO ME IS WE'RE REALLY GOING TO LOOK AT THE LIFE CYCLE OF FACILITIES OF OUR ASSETS.
YOU'LL SEE SOME SIMILAR INFORMATION AT THE TOP, THEN YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S A COUNT 7,374.
THAT IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LINE ITEMS IN THE 42 CAMPUSES THAT WE'VE ALREADY ENTERED.
IN SERVICE, YOU'LL SEE A FILTER, REPLACEMENT CALLS FILTER, AND THEN YOU CAN LOOK AT COST OR COUNT.
YOU CAN ALSO SELECT CAMPUS NAME.
THEN, AS YOU MOVE THROUGH THE SLIDE, YOU CAN DELINEATE WITH THE CAMPUS NAME AND THE NUMBER OF THE COUNT AT EACH CAMPUS, IT'S CURRENTLY ENTERED.
THEN, IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
EACH ONE OF THOSE ITEMS HAS A MINIMUM LIFE, HAS A MAXIMUM LIFE, AND THEN HAS THE AVERAGE OF THAT.
IF THIS WAS IN LIVE MODE, IF WE WERE IN FACILITY ON-SITE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY HOVER OVER A LOT OF THESE THINGS, AND IT WILL ACTUALLY PULL THEM UP EACH ONE.
THEN, DOWN BELOW, YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU HAVE AGAIN THE CAMPUS LIST.
YOU'LL HAVE THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF SYSTEMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED WITH THAT WE'VE ENTERED INTO FACILITY INSIGHT.
YOU SEE, WHEN THEY WERE IN SERVICE, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT A LOT OF THEM ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND AGING, AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE MINIMUM, MAXIMUM LIFE.
YOU CAN GUESS THAT THE FLAG MEANS THAT IT'S PAST MINIMUM LIFE AND IS NOW APPROACHING MAXIMUM LIFE.
JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.
WE'LL CONTINUE ON 61 PROJECTS.
WE KNOW THAT 296.75 MILLION IS THE ESTIMATE WITH OUR ESCALATION COSTS.
YOU'VE GOT FILTERS, PROJECT TYPE, PROJECT CATEGORY.
THE BOND SCENARIO IS NOTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH TONIGHT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT BOND SCENARIO COULD LOOK LIKE AS OF TODAY.
WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT FACILITY USES AS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, PROJECT TYPES WE'VE DISCUSSED, RENOVATION OR OTHER, SUCH AS SYSTEM AND COMPLIANCE, AS WELL.
WE KNOW THE SCOPE AND EXPENSE CATEGORY AT 296.75, AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE THERE IS A CONSTRUCTION START DATE.
WE'VE JUST ADDED THESE DATES IN TO PROVIDE THIS PRESENTATION TO TONIGHT,
[01:30:01]
NOTHING TO LOOK INTO IN THOSE DATES.THAT'S JUST THE DATES WE'VE ADDED IN.
THE CHART AT THE BOTTOM LEFT, THE BUBBLE CHART IS AN ESCALATION CHART, AND IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW COSTS WILL ESCALATE OVER TIME.
THEN, TO THE RIGHT, YOU WILL HAVE THE CAMPUS NAMES, AND YOU WILL HAVE THE ESTIMATES START DATES.
AGAIN, IT'S THAT SAME INFORMATION, AND LOOKING AT IT IN UNIQUE IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
I THINK WE ARE GETTING TOWARDS SOME OF THE LAST PREVIEWS.
THIS PREVIEW HERE WILL SHOW YOU AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, YOU'LL SEE THE AGE, THE YEARS, TO THE LEFT.
THE REPLACEMENT COST HERE IS DEFINITELY A PLACEHOLDER.
I HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION ON THIS PLACEHOLDER ALREADY, JOHNNY. WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING THE 2022 BOND, I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 250/SQUARE FOOT FOR RENOVATION.
WE DO FEEL LIKE THAT BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT BOND PROGRAM.
WE PLANNED FOR 250, WE END UP AROUND 600.
WHEN WE ACTUALLY GOT INTO OUR PROGRAMS. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE GO TO DO THE NEXT PROGRAM, THAT WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT 750/SQUARE FOOT.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS SYSTEM RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE HAVING TO UPDATE IT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE 500 IS AS HIGH AS IT WILL GO.
THEY'RE HAVING TO PATCH IT AND ACTUALLY INCREASE IT.
MICHAEL, I DON'T KNOW, IN YOUR WORLD, YOU PROBABLY KEEP UP WITH THAT A LOT MORE THAN WE DO, BUT IT IS CRAZY.
>> THIS BASICALLY IS THAT FCI CALCULATION.
IT'S JUST SHOWING YOU HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY COMING BY EACH ONE OF THESE CAMPUSES, WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT ALL THE STUFF THAT GOES INTO IT.
THE FCI WILL TAKE ALL THE STUFF YOU GO INTO, DIVIDE IT BY WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPLACE IT, AND IT GIVES YOU THE FCI.
WHAT WE'RE TOLD THAT ANYTHING OVER THE 15% IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LOOK AT.
AT THAT POINT, HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT, IT MAY BE BETTER TO REPLACE VERSUS TO REPAIR.
>> JUST TO CLARIFY BECAUSE YOU SAID RENOVATE, THAT WAS TO REPLACE.
SO $500 PER SQUARE FOOT IS THE PLACEHOLDER REPLACEMENT COST.
OUR LAST BOND PROGRAM IT WAS ABOUT 600 SQUARE FOOT.
>> REPLACEMENT COST PER SQUARE FOOT, NOT RENOVATION COSTS?
>> CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT?
>> THAT INCREASE IN ESCALATION.
IS THAT BASED ON INPUTS OR IS THAT BASED ON LABOR COSTS OR BOTH?
>> ACTUALLY, THEY DO A CONSTRUCTION INFLATION THAT THEY TRACK.
I WILL SAY DURING COVID, IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, IT WAS ABOUT 12-18% PER YEAR.
THEN IT'S ACTUALLY COME BACK DOWN OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S TRACKING ABOUT 6% WHAT WE'LL DO IS RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT 6% AS AN ESCALATOR, WE'LL ACTUALLY KEEP THAT UP EVERY TIME WE DO AN UPDATE ON A FACILITY ASSESSMENTS, WE'LL COME BACK AND RE EVALUATE THAT.
IT'S PROVIDED. IT'S AN INPUT THAT'S OUT THERE.
I MIGHT NOT BE SAYING THAT RIGHT, BUT THE CONSTRUCTION INFLATION FACTOR IS WHAT IT IS.
>> OKAY. I JUST WONDERED IF IT WAS BASED ON THE COST OF THE MATERIALS OR THE LABOR.
>> IT'S REGIONALLY DEFINED AS WELL.
SOMETHING THAT'S COMING OUT HERE MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT IS IN NEW YORK OR SOME OTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY.
>> I WONDERED IF TARIFFS WERE ENTERING INTO THAT.
>> I'M SURE IT WILL. I CAN'T IMAGINE.
MICHAEL PROBABLY COULD ANSWER THAT BETTER THAN WE COULD, BUT YEAH, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH OF ITS INTERNATIONAL OR INDEPENDENT WITH YOUR STEEL AND SO MANY OTHER FACTORS.
YEAH, I WOULD THINK TARIFFS WOULD HAVE A FACTOR OVER TIME.
>> THEN JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION ON OUR CURRENT PROGRESS.
A LOT OF THIS I HAVE COVERED, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO COVER OUR CURRENT PROGRESS, 42 SCHOOLS INITIAL DATA, THAT'S MOSTLY OUR ELEMENTARY, BUT YOU CAN SEE VERY SOON.
WE ARE READY TO MOVE ON TO BEGIN THE PROCESS WITH OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, AND OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, AND THEN, AS WE CONTINUE, OUR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, OTHER FACILITIES, OTHER ASSETS, ETC.
AGAIN, I WOULD SAY WE'RE SCRATCHING THE SURFACE HERE TONIGHT, AND A TRAILER.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WORK, DEFINITELY VERY DEPENDENT ON OUR TEAMMATES IN FACILITIES.
WE HAVE SOME GREAT TEAMMATES AND FACILITIES THAT ARE DOING A LOT OF BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK, AND FACILITY INSIDE IS ONE OF THEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
>> TRUSTEES, THANK YOU, STEVE, FOR GREAT REPORT.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN FOR BEING HERE AND YOUR ROLE IN SUPPORTING THIS.
IT WAS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
NOT ALL OF THE DATA IS ENTERED.
SO I WAS BALANCING JUST AS PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA.
[01:35:04]
THIS HAS BEEN OF SIGNIFICANT INTEREST TO THE BOARD.FOR ANYONE WHO WAS EITHER ON THE BOARD OR ON THE BOND COMMITTEE FOR THE LAST BOND, DO YOU REMEMBER THE SPREADSHEETS? I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THOSE SPREADSHEETS, AND SO I WAS VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA AND BRING THIS FORWARD.
AS STEVE AND JOHNNY BOTH MENTIONED, THE DATA ENTRY BECAUSE THERE'S A HUNDREDS OF DATA POINTS PER CAMPUS.
THE DATA ENTRY IS NOT COMPLETE.
YOU CAN'T DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS BOTH FOR THE COMMUNITY IF YOU ALL ARE PULLING DOWN THESE SLIDES AND ZOOMING INTO THAT TINY LITTLE FONT.
[LAUGHTER] YOU CAN'T REALLY DRAW CONCLUSIONS AT THIS POINT BASED ON WHAT'S IN THERE YET, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY INTEREST AND INTEREST TO THE TRUSTEES.
I WANTED TO BRING THIS FORWARD ON THE AGENDA, AND THE STAFF WANTED TO BRING THIS FORWARD ON THE AGENDA SOONER RATHER THAN LATER FOR AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS.
WITH THAT, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, HOT SPORTS OPINIONS, MICHAEL HAS HIS LIGHT ON, AND WILL BE FIRST.
>> HI, STEVE, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I DO LIKE THAT SYSTEM. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
ONE, DO WE HAVE SOME OF SOP AS IT RELATES TO HOW WE'RE ENTERING THE DATA, SO THAT LET'S SAY ONE OF THESE GENTLEMEN AREN'T WITH THIS ANYMORE, WE CAN HAVE SOMEONE THAT COMES IN AND WE'LL STILL HAVE CONSISTENCY WITH THE DATA AND WE CAN FEEL REALLY GOOD THE DATA IS GOING TO BE KEPT UP BECAUSE THE BIGGEST PART OF THE SYSTEM IS ENSURING THAT THAT DATA IS ACCURATE AND THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE MAINTAINED.
>> I THINK I CAN PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS THIS IS JOHNNY AND I HAVE ALSO ASKED OURSELVES THE QUESTION, HOW CAN WE ENSURE OURSELVES AND OUR COMMUNITY THAT THE DATA ENTERED IS ACCURATE? TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, CURRENT SOPS, NO.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD NEED TO CREATE AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE.
LIKE I SAID, JASON AND BLAKE THEY'VE JUST JOINED US.
WE BEGAN THIS WORK JUST THIS SEMESTER.
I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT THAT WE WOULD NEED TO CREATE SOPS TO MAKE SURE THERE IS CONSISTENCY, SHOULD JASON DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S RIGHT.
>> MY NEXT QUESTION IS ON THE USAGE OF THE DATA.
HOW ARE WE USING THIS DATA TO MAKE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DECISIONS? BECAUSE I KNOW AGAIN, I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE DATA SINCE YOU GUYS SAID I SHOULDN'T LOOK AT THE DATA.
[LAUGHTER] THERE WAS A LOT OF RED THERE, AND WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH OUR SCHOOLS.
HOW ARE WE USING THAT DATA TO DECIDE WHEN TO MAKE MAINTENANCE, WHEN TO PROACTIVELY MAKE, LET'S SAY, CAPITAL REPAIRS?
WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM, THERE CAN BE SIMILARITIES, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES.
I THINK DEVELOPING YOUR MAINTENANCE PLAN TODAY MATTERS TOMORROW.
A LOT OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IN THIS WORK MATTERS TODAY, BUT MATTERS DOWN THE ROAD QUITE A BIT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND WE'RE ASSESSING OUR FACILITIES, WE'LL KNOW WHERE WE NEED TO IMPROVE WITH OUR MAINTENANCE NOW TODAY FOR TOMORROW, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO ENTER THE DATA FOR OUR FUTURE TOO.
THIS WORK ADDRESSES YOUR IMMEDIATE PLAN TO ENSURING THAT YOU BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TO GO IN, WE HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE GOING AROUND THE CAMPUSES, THEY'RE HAVING TO INSPECT THE ASSETS NOW.
THEY'RE HAVING TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION NOW.
WE HAVE MAINTENANCE CONNECTION THAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT HISTORICAL INFORMATION, CERTAINLY MORE THAN EVER.
YOU MENTIONED THAT WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES LATELY.
WITH THAT, NOW COMES TO INVESTING IN OUR CURRENT SOFTWARE THAT WE ALREADY OWN, THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL THAT INFORMATION TO KNOW WHERE WE NEED TO IMPROVE WITH MAINTENANCE.
BUT AGAIN, THIS WORK STILL HOLDS TRUE, AND THAT IT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO LOOK AT THE LONG-TERM PLAN AS WELL.
WHILE WE KNOW WE HAVE AGING FACILITIES, WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THOSE FACILITIES ARE APPROPRIATE AND AS GREAT AS THEY CAN BE TODAY FOR OUR KIDS TODAY, JUST LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE KIDS FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
>> I'M GOING TO REPHRASE MY QUESTION.
LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A RED FOUNDATION, AND YOU HAVE A RED HVAC.
THE RED HVAC IS GOING TO CLOSE THE SCHOOL WHEN THE HVAC GOES OUT.
THE FOUNDATION MAY HAVE A YEAR OR TWO BEFORE THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES THERE.
[01:40:08]
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE TREATING THAT RED HVAC DIFFERENTLY THAN WE'RE TREATING THAT RED FOUNDATION.[NOISE] I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
AGAIN, THE ANSWER COULD BE WE SIMPLY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT NUANCED, WHICH IS FINE.
BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS DATA, ARE WE THINKING ABOUT HOW TO USE IT IN A MORE CONTRACT? THIS IS NOT A QUESTION TO BE FAIR.
THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE STEVE, THIS IS NOT YOUR BAYWICK AT ALL.
BUT ARE WE USING THIS DATA IN A WAY, AND DO WE HAVE SOMEONE ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE OF THINGS THAT IS ABLE TO AT LEAST PRESENT TO JOHNNY, YOU A HIERARCHY OF NEEDS AND OF CRITICALITY? BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU COULD HAVE 30S ALL ACROSS THE BOARD, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT IF IT BREAKS WILL CAUSE CHAOS, AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO FIX THAT FOUNDATION OVER TIME.
>> DO YOU MIND IF I JUMP IN? DEFINITELY, THIS SOFTWARE SHOULD ALLOW US TO BE MORE PROACTIVE THAN REACTIVE.
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN REACTIVE, AND THAT'S I THINK OBVIOUS.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE REACTIVE IS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD THE RIGHT RESOURCES IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY GEAR AND ACTUALLY STRATEGICALLY PLAN AROUND WHAT OUR ASSETS ARE.
OUR COMPONENTS WILL ACTUALLY BE BROKEN DOWN.
IF YOU REMEMBER ON THE LAST BOND PROGRAM, I THINK YOU'RE ON THE COMMITTEE.
WE ACTUALLY BROKE EVERYTHING DOWN BY 15 COMPONENTS.
WELL, I'M SORRY. WE'RE A LOT MORE COMPLEX THAN 15 COMPONENTS.
WHAT DOES STRUCTURE MEAN? WELL, THERE'S FOUNDATION.
THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO STRUCTURE.
JASON HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB OF ACTUALLY BREAKING EACH OF THE STRUCTURE DOWN INTO MULTIPLE COMPONENTS THAT WE CAN DO A FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORE ON.
WE CAN ACTUALLY PINPOINT IF JUST ONE SYSTEM WITHIN THE CAMPUS IS GETTING TO THAT LOW ASSESSMENT SCORE, WE CAN ATTACK JUST THE ONE SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT JUST IT'S AN ALL-OR-NOTHING DEAL.
WHAT THIS ALLOW US TO DO IS WHEN THERE'S ONE SLIDE YOU HAD ON FORECASTING, WELL, THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PUT IN BUCKETS AND PRIORITIZATION OF PHASING OF BUCKETS.
WE TRY TO DO PHASING THIS TIME, BUT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, MOST OF OUR PHASING WAS DRIVEN BY SIZE OF PROJECTS, AND IN FEAR OF THAT INFLATION FACTOR.
WE FRONT-LOADED ALL OF THE BIG PROJECTS BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO COST TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF WE WAITED AN EXTRA YEAR OR TWO.
THIS SYSTEM WILL ALLOW US TO ACTUALLY PUT IT IN BUCKETS BASED ON NEED, NOT NECESSARILY BASED ON DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
I'M EXCITED. I THINK AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG IN THE SYSTEM, WE CAN ACTUALLY SHOW YOU REPORTS OF HOW THAT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK WITH THE PHASING PART OF IT.
>> I THINK TO FULLY ANSWER WHERE MICHAEL'S WANTING TO GO WITH THIS, IT WILL ALLOW US TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRIORITIZE OR WHEN ON THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE STEPS THAT YOU TAKE, WHERE IT SAYS, LIKE ASSESSMENT AND THEN NOW AND ONGOING, THE SYSTEM WILL ALLOW WE NEED TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF JUST A DROP AND NOT TO DO SOME ISOLATION.
I WOULD SAY THAT THOSE SYSTEMS OF COMPLIANCE THAT REQUIRE ANNUAL REVIEW THIS WOULD ALLOW TO NARROW IN AND NOW HAVING A TOOL TO DO THAT VERY THING.
>> THE GOOD NEWS WITH THIS TOO JUST REAL QUICKLY, AND I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN SMARTER WE'VE LEARNED AS WE'VE WORKED WITH THIS, WE HAVE ABOUT $800,000 A YEAR, WHAT WE CALL CPI MONEY, AND THAT IS IF SOMETHING WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AND ALL A SUDDEN IT STARTS TO BE AN EMERGENCY, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT'S GOING TO ALWAYS HAPPEN.
WE PROBABLY NEED TO PULL A BIT MORE MONEY IN THE NEXT BOND ON THAT BECAUSE WE SPEND MORE THAN THAT EVERY YEAR.
BUT WE DO HAVE MONIES IN THIS BOND PROGRAM.
WE'LL ALSO IDENTIFY AND ACTUALLY BE MORE STRATEGIC WITH IN THE SUBSEQUENT BOND PROGRAMS OF WHAT WE CALL CPI.
BASICALLY, THAT IS, WE'VE PUT IT IN A BUCKET, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ACCELERATED FOR BECAUSE THINGS HAPPEN.
IT'LL ALLOW US TO DO SOME ACCELERATION.
WHEN WE NEED TO, WE'LL HAVE THE RESOURCES THERE, WE COULD JUST TAP IN AND SAY, THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN THIS SUMMER SO WE'RE GOING TO ACCELERATE IT, WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN HERE, WE'LL HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT PART OF AS WELL.
THAT'S JUST A LEARNING PROCESS.
>> AS A TAXPAYER AND TRUSTEE, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I REMEMBER STARING AT THIS SCREEN.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 2017, AND WORKING OFF OF SPREADSHEETS AND EVERY SCHOOL WAS ON A THREE-YEAR CYCLE.
I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE THAT REMEMBERS THIS BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET NEW PAINT? WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO UPDATE THE CARPET?
[01:45:02]
>> THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT IS A THREE YEAR.
>> THERE MAY HAVE BEEN THE BIG RENOVATIONS.
IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT KIND OF SHAPE YOU WERE IN YOUR 20-YEAR CYCLE.
>> I JUST REMEMBER THE COLOR-CODED SHEET, AND YOU COULDN'T READ IT IF YOU WERE SITTING OUT THERE.
BUT I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS SUPER EXCITING, AND THANK YOU FOR DOING ALL OF THE WORK TO GET THE DATA IN THERE SO THAT IT CAN BE MANIPULATED AND PLAYED WITH TO FIGURE OUT FOR THE BONDS.
>> WELL, THE 20-YEAR CYCLE BEGAN WHEN TEA REQUIRED THE CLASSROOM SPACE TO BE A CERTAIN SIZE.
WE HAD TO GO IN AND RENOVATE A LOT OF CAMPUSES TO GET THE CLASSROOM SIZES IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEA.
THAT'S WHERE THAT WHOLE 20-YEAR CYCLE BEGAN.
>> I DO WANT TO POINT OUT AND I THINK THE SOPS IS A FANTASTIC IDEA.
THE GUYS THAT ARE SITTING DOWN RIGHT THERE, WE'VE GOT BLAKE WHO'S BEEN AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES AT FRISCO FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
WE'VE GOT JASON WHO WE STOLE FROM HIGHLAND PARK AS THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE EXPERTISE THAT WE SOLD THEM BACK. WE HAD THEM FIRST.
[LAUGHTER] BUT I DO THINK BECAUSE THESE GUYS, THEY LOOK OLDER THAN ME.
[LAUGHTER] THEY MAY NOT BE AROUND FOREVER.
[LAUGHTER] IT'S A GOOD POINT THAT WE WANT SOPS.
WE WANT THE CONTINUATION OF PLAN, BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE EXPERTISE THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY WORKING ON OUR TEAM RIGHT NOW. IT'S EXCITING.
>> WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE SOPS, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO WALK THROUGH AND TEST THE HVAC SYSTEM? SO IT'S CONSISTENT AMONG EACH BUILDING, CORRECT?
>> WE'RE WORKING ON, AND THAT'S SOMETHING DR. WILLIAMS IS ROLLING OUT RIGHT NOW AS A DISTRICT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE WRITTEN SOPS ON ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS, AND WE HEAR ABOUT THAT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
>> NOW AS A MATTER OF FACT, MR. CANTU, THAT WAS HIS BIG DISCUSSION THIS WEEK AGAIN AT CABINET.
ANYWAY, HE'S HELPING LEAD THAT WORK, SO WE'RE ANXIOUS ABOUT IT.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, STEVE.
>> FIRST OF ALL, AS SOMEONE WHO STARTED OFF MY CAREER AS A DATA ANALYST, I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT GOES INTO JUST SIFTING THROUGH ALL THAT DATA AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING GOES IN CORRECTLY.
JUST TWO PARTS. ONE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE UTILIZING A SYSTEM LIKE THIS OR THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT WE KNOW OF?
>> I DO KNOW THAT ALL OF THE LARGER DISTRICTS.
ONCE YOU START TALKING ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS IN BOND PROJECTS, WHEN YOU GET TO THAT SIZE, THEN YES, THEY'RE USING SOFTWARES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS.
I DON'T KNOW THE OTHER PEER DISTRICTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY USING FACILITY INSIGHT. DO YOU KNOW JASON?
>> I KNOW THE OWNER INSIDE MODULE.
DON'T KNOW IF FACILITY INSIGHT MODULE.
I KNOW THERE ARE SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN OTHER STATES THAT USE IT THAT I SAW EXAMPLES OF IT WHEN I FIRST STARTED.
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE DATA POINTS.
I'VE PULLED UP SOME SCHOOL DISTRICT DATA POINTS IN THE HOUSTON AREA AFTER I WENT TO TASBO, AND I RECOGNIZED DATA POINTS, WHICH AT THAT POINT, I WENT BACK AND SAW HOW THEY LABELED AND WENT BACK AND HAD TO RELABEL EVERYTHING TO TRY TO MAKE MORE SENSE TO GET MORE ACCURATE, LIKE WHAT MICHAEL WAS SAYING, HVAC, ALL THESE ITEMS ARE TIED TO THE CHILLER UNITS OR CHILLER SYSTEM.
HOW DO YOU TIE THEM ALL? IT ALSO GIVES THE DESTRUCTION A SCOPE OF WORK TO WORK OFF OF?
I WAS WITH SOME FELLOW FINANCE FOLKS THIS LAST WEEKEND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
ACTUALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THE FACILITY IN SIDE ACTUALLY CAME UP BECAUSE BOND PROGRAMS ARE GETTING TO BE BIGGER AND BIGGER, AND MORE COMPLICATED AND DOLLARS ARE GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER, WE NEED TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE STRATEGIC.
I'M SHOCKED WITH ALL THE DISTRICTS OUT THERE THAT ARE STILL DOING IT THROUGH SPREADSHEETS.
BUT I WAS ASKED BY A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.
WE ACTUALLY HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, WHAT ARE YOU USING AND HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT? I THINK AS THE COSTS JUST KEEP GOING CRAZY, YOU'LL SEE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST REQUIRED TO DO IT THIS WAY? I KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE SECTION OF TASBO THAT'S TRAINING ON A LONG RANGE CAPITAL PLANNING.
WHENEVER JASON WAS TALKING ABOUT TASBO, THEY'RE OFFERING CLASSES ON HOW TO DO THIS.
AS WE PUT INFORMATION IN THERE AND SYNTHESIZE AND UTILIZE IT FOR OUR PROJECTS.
IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY, DO WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS VENDOR TO PROVIDE IMPROVEMENT ENHANCEMENTS AND THOSE THINGS?
>> JASON'S HAVING WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH THESE GUYS.
[LAUGHTER] THEY KNOW WHO HE IS.
[01:50:01]
WE'RE BEEN A LITTLE DEMANDING AND OBVIOUSLY, WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH DR. WILLIAMS AND SHE HAD A FEW SUGGESTIONS AS WELL.WE ARE DEFINITELY HAVING CONVERSATIONS TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM AS WE GO AND THEY'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT ITERATION OF THE SOFTWARE.
>> I WANTED TO KNOW THE SAME THING AND PARTLY BECAUSE, IF WE WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT THINGS BY ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS, OR BY THE WEST CLUSTER, CENTRAL CLUSTER, EAST CLUSTER, AND THE DATA ARE WHAT THE DATA ARE, AND THIS HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR FRUSTRATION OF ME OF NOT PARTICULAR FRUSTRATION OF ME A PARTICULAR FRUSTRATION OF MINE THAT, SOME OF THESE OLDER PREJUDICES IN THE COMMUNITY OF WHICH SIDE OF TOWN IS GETTING THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
HAVING DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DATA ANALYSIS MYSELF IN MY OWN, SPREADSHEETS WITH THE LAST BOND, LOOKING AT AGE, LOOKING AT LAST RENOVATION, I CAN TELL YOU, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MISINFORMATION CONSTANTLY PUT OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ON WELL, THIS SIDE OF TOWN DOESN'T GET THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF WORK AND THAT SIDE OF TOWN GETS ALL THE WORK AND THIS THING.
THAT IS A QUESTION I ASKED SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING WE HEAR A LOT FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN AN EASY WAY TO PUT OUT AND SAY, HERE'S OUR GOOD OR BAD OR UGLY WHEREVER IT IS, AND HERE'S HOW WE ARE DOING OUR FACILITY PROGRAM TO MANAGE THAT.
WE NEED RESOURCES ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO BE FAIR.
WE NEED RESOURCES ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO BE COMPARABLE.
WHETHER YOU'RE IN EAST PLANO, WEST PLANO, CENTRAL PLANO, WHEREVER, WE WANT YOUR KIDS TO BE IN SCHOOLS THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF.
I ASKED THAT SAME QUESTION IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THIS PET PEEVE OF MIND ABOUT JUST THE COMMUNITY PERCEPTION THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE I WAS A KID AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HAVING GROWN UP HERE TOO.
>> YOU'RE GETTING TO WHERE I WAS GOING TO MY NEXT QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE IN TERMS OF ONCE WE'VE GOT ALL THE KINKS OUT AND WE KNOW IT'S FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND THE DATA LOOKS APPROPRIATE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME AT THAT POINT WHERE WE SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH THE PUBLIC.
THAT JUST EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, LAUREN, MAKES PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW COMPLICATED, IF YOU JUST LOOKED UP THAT APPLICATION AND YOU PULLED EVERYTHING UP, IT BOGGLES THE MIND.
IT'S A LOT OF COMPLICATED STUFF.
MAYBE IT WOULD HELP OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND HOW COMPLICATED THE DECISIONS ARE.
AGAIN, THERE IS NOT A PREJUDICE IN TERMS OF SOME PEOPLE GETTING AND OTHER PEOPLE NOT.
HERE'S THE DATA. HERE IT IS DOWN TO THE DETAIL.
WE'VE GOT 20 COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THIS SUB FUNCTION THAT MAKES UP THIS OTHER FUNCTION AND HERE'S ALL THE EVALUATIONS.
THAT'S GOING TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND BETTER AND CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES WHY WE'RE MAKING THE DECISIONS WE'RE MAKING.
>> I AGREE TO THE EXTENT THINGS CAN BE SHARED, BECAUSE YOU'LL NOTICE, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE SLIDE WITH THE FACILITY INDEX SCORE, WHATEVER THE CALCULATION IS THE RENOVATOR REPLACE.
>> THE FCI IN AGENDA PLANNING, I ASKED FOR THE SCHOOL NAMES TO BE REMOVED OFF OF THAT IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT AND AGAIN, THE DATA IS NOT COMPLETE, BUT WHAT I WOULD NOT WANT IS OUTSIDE OF A LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING PROGRAM, FOR CERTAIN THINGS TO BE ON THE PUBLIC AND THEN YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE AT X, Y, Z SCHOOL, EVERYBODY'S WELL, CERTAINLY WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT GET CLOSED OR WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT GET THIS, OR WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT GET THAT.
I AGREE, BUT I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE VERY STRATEGIC, IN TERMS OF SHARING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND HELPING THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE.
SOME OF THIS DATA, REALLY DOES NEED TO BE SHARED OPENLY AND TRANSPARENTLY, I THINK, EITHER WITH THE TRUSTEES OR WITH COMMUNITY COMMITTEES, IN THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING PROCESS OR THE BOND PLANNING PROCESS.
BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO EITHER IS SHORT CIRCUIT SOMETHING, A LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING PROCESS OR A BOND PLANNING PROCESS BY PUTTING OUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT FCI,
[01:55:04]
PREMATURELY, AND THEN HAVE A BUNCH OF TEACHERS QUIT A CAMPUS BECAUSE THE RUMOR MIGHT STARTS THAT WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET CLOSED ON THE NEXT LONG RANGE FACILITY PLAN.THAT MAY BE TWO, THREE YEARS AWAY IF IT'S GOING TO OCCUR AT ALL. AS AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD.
I AGREE AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IN, PLANNING FOR FUTURE UPDATES.
WE'LL BE VERY SENSITIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT, WE'RE SHARING WITH THE COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ON THESE THINGS, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FRANKLY, JUST SENSITIVE, AND WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE, DRAWING THE WRONG CONCLUSIONS AND CREATING PANIC AND THIS THING.
WE SAW THIS IN A VERY SMALL SCALE WHEN PEOPLE KNEW THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING REPORT WAS COMING OUT AND WE SAW NEWS ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE WITH A LIST OF THESE ARE THE LOWEST ENROLLMENT CAMPUSES.
WELL, THE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS WERE REPORTING ON CAMPUSES SAYING THESE ARE THE LOWEST ENROLLMENT CAMPUSES AND THE MOST LIKELY TO BE CLOSED, SOME OF WHICH WERE NOT ON THE FACILITY PLAN COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION.
I THINK WE NEED TO BE SMART AND STRATEGIC ABOUT IT, AND SOME OF THIS INFORMATION WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO GET THAT CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, THAT CITIZEN TRANSPARENCY POTENTIALLY IN A COMMITTEE FORMAT AS WE DO NEXT LRFP, NEXT BOND PLANNING, AND THAT THING.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IN AGENDA PLANNING.
WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT I'M JUST SHARING IS WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION.
TRUSTEES, WHAT ELSE? I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE THIS.
SAM IS REACHING FOR HIS MIC, SO GO AHEAD, SIR.
>> ONE QUESTION. I'M GUESSING IT'S A REALLY SIMPLE SOLUTION, BUT CURIOUS, HOW ARE WE ACCOUNTING FOR THE SENIOR HIGHS HAVING DIFFERENT BUILDINGS AND THUS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AS OPPOSED TO MOST OF THE OTHER FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE?
>> THEY ARE PHYSICALLY GEOGRAPHICALLY SEGMENTED, BUT IT IS ONE PLANT ONE CAMPUS.
WE WOULD CONDUCT THIS PROCESS BY SCHOOL.
PLANO SENIOR HIGH WOULD HAVE ITS MULTIPLE LINE ITEMS JUST LIKE THE OTHER SCHOOLS WOULD HAVE.
>> IT WOULD BE BY BUILDING THOUGH.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT PLANO WEST.
WELL, IF YOU'LL KNOW, ACTUALLY THE OLD SHEFTON SCHOOL IS ACTUALLY BUILDING A OF THAT CAMPUS.
WELL, DURING THIS RENOVATION, WE'RE ACTUALLY TOTALLY REDOING THAT BUILDING A BECAUSE IT IS A LOT OLDER, ON THAT ASSESSMENT SCORE.
IT'S GOT A LOT LOWER ASSESSMENT SCORE.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SENIOR HIGHS, WE DO ACTUALLY BREAK IT.
TELL ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IN MY MIND, WE ACTUALLY HAVE THOSE BROKEN DOWN BY BUILDINGS.
>> I WAS THINKING [INAUDIBLE] THE LIBRARY PLANO SENIOR BUILDING A, PLANO SENIOR, BUILDING B, WITH ALL THE SYSTEMS LISTED THAT GO WITH THAT BUILDING.
>> WE DID THAT ON THE LAST MONTH, TOO.
NOW WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THE SENIOR HOUSE YET.
[OVERLAPPING] BUT I WILL SAY THAT'S IN MY MIND, THAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE BECAUSE IN SOME CASES, ALL THOSE BUILDINGS WEREN'T PUT IN THERE AT THE SAME TIME.
I SAW IN HERE THAT'S NOT DONE YET, AND THE WORD TEMPLATE IS ON THERE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT WHAT THAT WAS REFERRING TO, [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT I CREATED A TEMPLATE FOR ALL TOP OF CAMPUSES AS I ENTERED THE ELEMENTARIES.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE TEMPLATE ANYMORE.
BECAUSE YOU START ADDING STUFF.
THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE SYSTEMS IS IF THE BUILDINGS UNIQUE, YOU CAN ADD SYSTEMS TO IT.
IT'S NOT TIED TO A PARTICULAR LENGTH OF SYSTEMS.
>> THANK YOU. BUT NOT ALL THE BUILDINGS ON A GIVEN CAMPUS EVEN WERE CONSTRUCTED NECESSARILY AT THE SAME TIME.
THAT WAS WHY I WAS CURIOUS IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THIS DATA BUILDING BY BUILDING EVEN ON THE SENIOR HIGH. THANKS.
>> ANYTHING ELSE, TRUSTEES? JUST AS I WAS SAYING, I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
IN THE LAST BOND PLANNING PROCESS, I HAD A FREAK OUT ABOUT, THE CAPACITY.
I FREAKED OUT ABOUT THE CAPACITY SLIDE AND WE GOT A NEW CAPACITY SLIDE THAT WE'RE NOW KEEPING UP WITH.
THIS WAS ANOTHER THING THAT I HAD A LOT OF CONCERN AND I REMEMBER THIS POINT, JOHNNY,
[02:00:03]
WHERE I ASKED YOU WHAT IS THE MAINTENANCE HISTORY ON THESE, WHAT IS THE CAPITAL RENOVATION HISTORY ON THESE BUILDINGS.THE RECORD BACK TO 2004, 2005, IT MAY BE LIKE THIS SCHOOL 20 YEAR RENOVATION. THAT WAS IT.
SO MANY THINGS AND SPREADSHEETS HERE, SPREADSHEETS THERE AND REALIZING THAT YOU CAME INTO THIS PROCESS.
RANDY, OUR OLD CFO, STARTED THE BOND PROCESS, YOU CAME INTO THIS PROCESS AND JUST VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE TREMENDOUS ASSET, TREMENDOUS HELP.
ONE OF THE THINGS AND TO MICHAEL'S POINT EARLIER, AS I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS AND THE NEED, BEING ABLE TO DO ASSESSMENTS AND BOND PLANNING IN THE WAY THAT WE DID IT FOR THE 2021, AND THEN SEQUENCING THOSE PROJECTS, I FEEL LIKE WAS A STATIC PROCESS.
AT A POINT IN TIME, WE LOOKED AT THINGS, DECISIONS WERE MADE, THE SEQUENCING WAS PUT TOGETHER AFTER THAT BOND PASSED AND WE SOLD THE FIRST LOT OF BONDS AND WE GOT THOSE PROJECTS MOVING.
WHAT I'M HOPEFUL FOR THIS SYSTEM, TO MICHAEL'S POINT AGAIN, IS THAT WE HAVE A MORE DYNAMIC PROCESS, THAT IF WE'RE TWO YEARS IN, IF WE'RE THREE YEARS INTO A BOND PROGRAM, AND SOME CAMPUSES, WE MAY SEE AGING ACCELERATION ON CERTAIN SYSTEMS, THAT MAY MOVE FROM A YELLOW BOND PROJECT INTO A RED BOND PROJECT, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AND FLEX THOSE THINGS.
AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INTEREST TO THE TRUSTEES IN THE COMMUNITY, AND I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT FORWARD AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT.
WE ARE NOW READY FOR ITEM 10, WHICH IS ADJOURNMENT.
IF THERE IS NO FURTHER BUSINESS OR ANY OBJECTIONS FROM THE BOARD, THIS MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED.
ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9TH, 2025.
