Event 1: Board of Education-Regular Meeting-July 25, 2017
00h 00m 00s
we'll be voted on this evening has been
posted as required by the state law this
meeting is being televised live and be
replayed throughout the next two weeks
please check the board website for
replay times this meeting is also being
streamed live on our PBS TV Services
website we also have director Anthony is
out of town but is calling in this
evening before we can begin tonight's
agenda there are a couple things I'd
like to share with you first of all as
part of our commitment to strengthen
sports and families and students we're
instituting a few new practices at this
board meeting and I'd like to ask
director as far as Brown to share those
changes alright thank you
starting tonight the PPF unfed woman and
Julie Martin will attend all board
meetings the role of the omelette person
is to serve as an informal independent
and neutral confidential resource to
assist parents and our community members
in school related concerns and issues so
our goal is to strengthen how you
families access the correct channels for
answering questions address some
concerns or evolve resolving school and
education related issues so specifically
Judy will be here to listen to the
public comments and appropriate provide
additional support to families who need
or want it including listen and identify
the areas of concern in the appropriate
first place to seek resolution serve as
a resource to help connect them that
well the right people to resolve the
relevant concerns provide information
about district policies and procedures
conduct informal interventions and
mediations when possible we encourage
the first place to discuss a concern to
be at the local source with a teacher
staff principal because many issues can
be resolved at that first stage but we
also want families to know the Ombuds
person is a resource and can be
contacted at any time to help determine
the next steps to address and result
concerns
so for the record beauty can be reached
at five oh three nine one six three oh
four five for Ombudsman at PPS net so
this is the first step in an overall
priority to better support families and
students in meeting their educational
needs and as we expect to be discussing
the complaint process and opportunities
to provide better family support and
services in the coming weeks thank you
secondly beginning this evening we are
pleased to report that the board will
have Chinese Russian Somali Spanish and
Vietnamese interpreters at each meeting

come forward at this time
introduce themselves in the language
that they will be interpreting and
inform the audience where they will be

having students going first and before

and our first two speakers are Brad
Nelson and amber Clark
Wow
I read Nelson BR ad an es s o n so
interim superintendent HOD and member of
the board thank you very much for the
opportunity to speak with you this
evening
earlier today I sent over my testimony
so you can read it in greater detail I
timed it it was about seven minutes of
giving the condensed version here I have
two kids in Portland Public Schools a
sixth grader and a second grader and
tonight I'd like to advocate for four
things the first is to restore
vice-principal positions at the six
elementary schools where it was removed
in the latest budget the second thing is
to read restore the ratio or
kindergarten from 28 to one back down to
25 to 1 I also like to advocate for a
couple of continuing things to increased
equity and promotion of diversity
throughout the the district and finally
like to call I guess for general
cooperation I know there's a lot of
parents that want to help and there's a
lot of teachers and administrators and
people with the district office and I
think we can all do a lot of good things
we work together specifically with the
the Vice Principals there's about 100
million dollars more 4 million of which
or so should go to PBS Bridal Mile is
one of six schools that lost their
vice-principal physician and this is
impacting 3,000 students roughly 6% of
the overall district that's a lot of
kids that's a lot task of an
administrator we need to support our
principals we need to support our
schools we need to support our staff and
having those vice principals they're
dealing with interventions and other
things is huge so please find some of
that money and restore that position
likewise I've been in a room with more
than 25 five and six-year-olds that's a
lot of kids 28 to one is a big big ratio
and that gets even more difficult when
you deal with schools that are
historically underserved but don't
necessarily have the parent community
that can come in and to volunteer and to
help out so
for both of those things they would go a
long way to providing much safer and
stronger overall school experience I
know there's a lot of things that have
been happening in the district there's a
lot of things you know big issues that
you're going to talk about tonight
you're going to be tackling over the
next couple of months and I think one of
the things I've found as I've worked not
only with you know the school but also
00h 10m 00s
with the district there's a lot of good
people there working at the district
there's a lot of good people that are
working you know at the various schools
great administrators good people please
find a way to retain those people please
find a way to fill those positions
please find a way to support us as
community members but also the overall
district it's easy for us to get
frustrated in the bash things and we
need to to stop doing that so I want to
help I know there's a lot of people out
there that would also like to help so I
do want to advocate for specific things
but just generally for the the overall
district so thank you very much for your
time thank you hi good evening I'm amber
Clark CLA RK and I am on the Executive
PTA board for Cesar Chavez K through 8 I
also have a fourth grader and first
grader in the DLI program Spanish
immersion so I'm here basically to talk
about equity and how school district is
failing to adequately support the so
Chavez school with staffing curriculum
and resources that our students need to
succeed Chavez is a focus school and
dual language it's a school with heart
it's a great school I love it
we're currently renovating our house so
we can stay as that is our neighborhood
school but it's an you know wonderful
family's fabulous hard-working staff but
we have some huge issues we have less
than educated and less than economically
you know there's not a very wealthy
parents and everything and anyways um we
have about thirty percent plus of
English English language learners 80%
plus historically underserved population
and we're ranked in the bottom ten of
the schools in all of Oregon for our
test scores might be about fifteen
percent but we are a focus school which
means we need extra help
we've been identified as a school in
crisis by the interim superintendent
McKean according to the March Oregonian
article
so this is a it's a good school but it's
a school that's really challenged my
daughter has been within there for years
and this will be her third principal
that is in coming within those four
years that's a problem
this this year we have fourteen staff
who are either being shuffled out by
seniority retirement layoffs by choice
but it's a huge staff turnover and a lot
of EAS are being cut educational
assistants are being cut due to budget
cuts and also send you already are all
our administration is new this next year
our office staff is going to be new this
next year we need office staff who are
bilingual a 60% Latino at our school I
am happy to be there as minority family
but we really need staff who are
bilingual and that's a big issue
and there's been a lack of clarity and
things as far as the principal search
that's going on and a high turnover and
it seems to be like a stepping stone for
their careers rather than a place to
stay and be principal we have had
principals who are as assistant
superintendent now the head of East ESL
middle school principal and the direct
now newly the director of high school
programs and these are people that have
just been in and out and it's great for
their careers but it's really bad for
our students in our school and as a
parent I really care about our school
and I want you to care for our school
too with the curriculum that we need the
staffing that we need the support that
we need everything that ours to
deserve to succeed in areas where they
are supposedly not just supposed to
succeed so we really need your help to
make it truly a folks focus school and
true equity thank you thank you thank
you both for your comments and we'll
make sure that we pass along the
comments we'll take them into
consideration during our our committees
and our board work but also the senior
director who has the school in this
portfolio thank you next we have Hugh
green and Theresa Rayford mr. green here
looks like the two remaining people
could signed up are not present so we
will move to the next part of our
meeting well it's in the sheet heat of
the summer
our schools are about ready to open in
another month and I'd like to ask
00h 15m 00s
superintendent to provide report on the
preparations for the opening of all our
schools and I will have a separate
section on the opening of our rebuilds
and we modernize schools good evening
board members students staff and
community members I want to just read a
small statement before I get in the
report I'm pleased to be your interim
superintendent as we work to hire a
permanent leader for the district before
I get in the detail of the report I want
to take a minute to say some thank yous
first thank you to our students for
their hard work and learning what it
will take to succeed in school in
college and whatever that you decide to
do and take thank you
second I want to thank all the teachers
and staff for the in this service that
they perform to support our students we
are in a period of transition at DPS the
district is in need of new thinking
stepping away from the status curve and
the traditional ways we have done
business my leadership style is to put a
premium on problem-solving
focus on service and to never lose sight
of them imperative that we focus on a
matter most for our kids yes we have a
significant number of vacant positions
and we are on track to fill them all but
we have made sure that we have solid
interim leaders in all the positions
that we have vacant and as we pursue
hiring permanent positions for these
high-level positions yeah I do come from
a financial background but I enter the
field of education because I care deeply
about the mission of public schools and
supporting student success and to be
clear while this is a clear transition
the district is under control
a lot of good work is happening and I'm
going to go through some of that work
that's happening to prepare our schools
as you many of you especially staff
there's a lot of work that goes into
getting ready for the first day of
classes each year this year what we've
done we have asked every department to
come up with a list of all the actions
that they will take to prepare the
schools we have a report I will share
with you a memorandum along with a link
to these reports and you'll see all the
details for all the departments and all
the preparation that's taking place but
in the next I took sign a kind of sample
of some of the work that's happening for
a certain Department I'd like to share
that with you for example in i.t we
deploy IT written esteems to school to
check classroom and lab technology
example tech bundles phones mobile cards
to ensure everything is working
correctly as the school start create
accounts for newly hired staff or staff
who are changing and moving from one
position to another the accounts are
created automatically when staff are
entered in PeopleSoft we have to do the
imaging and repair of computer computing
devices specifically in labs and cards
that are available for classrooms
prepare mandatory compliance training
that's done electronically online and we
have mandatory training that all staff
have to take so we have to prep for them
these should be ready by now they were
due by July 1st and they are ready to go
in transportation we have had
significant amount of challenges that we
dealt with last year we are actively
working on trying to make significant
improvement in that area the death will
really go in aggressively trying to hire
and recruit new drivers to get to a full
staff and level this way we don't deal
with shortage next year that's that's
proved to be really challenging area and
working really hard on the form all
needed safety inspections preventative
maintenance and repairs to ensure our
fleet is ready for start-up this
includes athletic dance school assigned
vehicles buses transportation sedans
applet radio cameras and GPS equipment
as needed 3 presenting new information
and training to school staff secretary's
admin staff prior to start school new
field trip requests upgrade that we just
created bus tech requirements stop
evacuation drills etc these are some of
the stuff that we're working on in
transportation we're also working on
communication of new routes to parents
and schools that's a critical piece
quite often we last year at least we
have had some hiccups we're working to
improve that website publication assist
00h 20m 00s
with individual school mailings as
necessary and ensure bus tag information
is updated and printed for school start
in the facility the facilities and asset
management in the custodial area will be
stripping and locks in all crafts or
classrooms hallways and floors and
entire schools we moving furniture and
do that work deep cleaning all carpets
and deep cleaning all restrooms
electrical we will do real amp or gems
and editorials generator load bank
testing prior to school start in the
warehouse we'll be doing a lot of
delivery of the new and additional
curriculum to schools retrieval science
kids to warehouse for replenish
replenishment and they deliver them to
schools as needed there's approximately
about 3,000 kids that we will have to do
some work on them in the multi crafts
area backfilling engineered wood chips
for playground area and structures and
in the ground smell and the grounds and
making sure they're ready for schools
mechanicals we'll be doing a lot of
testing for the boilers and ensure these
already
for next semester lockers repairs and
combination of other work in terms of
leadership we have talked most of the
positions for the principal's except for
oddly green we're doing the interviews
as we speak and one of the planning
principles we're doing interviews on
that one as well and we're hoping in the
next few weeks we will have old
positions though thank you
it's the question is it the only aqua
green and the planning principles are
the only vacancies so far yes now we
have had made offers conditional offers
to a lot of the positions but we're
doing the background check that's why we
may not have announced some of these
positions here any questions by members
of the board this just isn't the real
exciting stuff but it's so important to
the experience of students and families
come to start a school year so thank you
are we with you were talking about the
buses we have for this school year the
apps that we've talked about that allows
parents to track in real-time bus
progress and delays and all that all
right I know we're looking at it I'm not
sure we will have it handy or not yet I
mean we have probably much more
foundational stuff and infrastructure
and making sure we have the right number
of bus drivers hired and paid and the
routing and that these are more just
basic stuff that really cause a lot of
the headache for us last year we're
trying to make sure we address them I
know Gary if you can answer this
question
exactly the drivers that's good so just
a question just following up on the
transportation so is there like one
number for parents to call it gets
answered regardless of the hour
so we are working on put that in place
we don't have it handy yet but we will
have it Jerry you want to talk about it
please do because that was an issue last
year that was good evening
Jerry Vincent chief operating officer
we're actually excited about what's
happening in transportation we still
need the result we're short drivers from
PPS and first student but we're making
good progress app is coming this fall IT
is working our own IT departments
working on it with us we are setting up
right now prayer our consultants advice
time there are six phone lines that are
in a separate area of transportation for
all calls that that come in throughout
the day even a mid shift line and then
we have an after-hours we're trying to
get the messages out so it's complete
difference from where we were before and
even when we did have one line two lines
before they were right with our our
routers so you have all this cross talk
going on and everything the same room
we've taken over an extra conference
room down there we're dropping six lines
in as we speak and we're setting that up
for that's how we deal with the
questions versus this is how we deal
with the drivers all that was
intermingled before so it's not sexy and
exciting but it looks like it's going to
be terribly efficient and that's where
it as a reigning four that'll be much
appreciated by parents so clarification
when you talked about hiring drivers is
that book view and per student or were
you speaking out for us we're working
with with the first student of
coordinated VC efforts but we also hire
00h 25m 00s
our own drivers as well right both of us
are are short where we're more promising
than we were even a month ago and we
can't give any more of an
date because just like I heard earlier
with the principal's in the background
checks there are three others there's
the people who walked in the door people
we've interviewed people we've approved
for student and us now they have to go
through background check then they have
to make sure that they have their
updated license in order to drive the
buses on the road and we're looking at
all that Plus first day of school and
we're bringing these things too together
great one more transportation and so
we've communicated with the families
that will be moving my Delta Marshall
during the remodels and have taken care
of those that busing situation I believe
so yeah I mean we have worked closely
with the principal and we've been in
constant communication in terms of not
just the move but also providing the
transportation thanks so one of the
logistical things we need to work out
for transportation and everything in
general is good news you know Google
updated us when Franklin went to
Marshall and when Fabien went to Tubman
we've checked in with them whoever
Google is with our people and they won't
fix it until we have permanent occupancy
where we have temporary occupancy on our
sites right now a permanent occupancy
Marshall one else a grant and Fabien
will be Fabien so those are the two big
ones so we even had a tour last week and
warned as many people as we could but to
people you know didn't get the memo and
they did Google and there there you go
so we're working on that one so we're
supposed to be able to turn that key
right around second week of August which
is just before we're nervous about that
you know in terms of them changing and
updating their website we can't control
that they don't so we're pushing as much
as you can push google you might as well
just stay there because the next item is
the three rebuilt and modernized schools
superintendent thank you I'm going to
start with Fabien and Concordia this is
a 33 million dollar project not been
scored will celebrate its grand opening
on Tuesday August 29 from
thirty to five pm the building will open
for killers and our building partners
Kaiser Permanente Concordia University
and Trillium Family Services and basics
will be on site as well we have been
partners and neighbors with Concordia
University for at least sixty five years
in our fabien site popular and Concordia
University well the partnership is
extended we were just concordia with
Claudia and the University of Concordia
we extended that partnership to Kaiser
Permanente as well
the team has transferred the site once
housed a single story of 1950 wood frame
structure the many maintenance problems
into a new and exciting 3 floor
structurally structurally sound steel
and concrete learning environment I want
to give you some of the features that we
have had in the school and in terms of
the transformation the old site had
58,000 square feet in this size had the
new the new location have 133,000 square
feet the new site means seismic and
accessibility building codes there's a
new fire alarm system and it's on track
to be the first district LEED Gold
building we have put there about one
hundred and fifty one kilowatt solar
photovoltaic system that's now operating
EDA compliance with two elevators
energy-efficient LED lighting fully
air-conditioned in state-of-the-art
playground and two covered play areas in
addition to that they had a high school
size gymnasium and high school level
science lab and have it's equipped with
card reader access after years of
informal collaboration bps and Concordia
University start work on
or formal arrangement to whelp Concordia
education students gain hands-on
experience in the classroom while
assisting fabien teachers by providing
in-class support as I mentioned earlier
the partnership has grown to include
Kaiser Permanente basics and Trillium
Family Services in addition to
promotional public schools the goal of
this collaboration is to help close the
opportunity gap for the most vulnerable
students and families and provide
wraparound services that include early
childhood education health and wellness
program steam one-on-one tutors and
fruit Club that kind of conclude the fog
00h 30m 00s
in one before I move to the next one I
want to ask if you have any questions
and yeah and I can provide any answers
about the school yeah it's exciting so
the 151 kW photovoltaic system is
actually spending back against a meter
while we're still occupying and wrapping
up construction so fully functional it's
exciting it's again it's our first LEED
Gold building in the district yeah it's
a beautiful building it's a beautiful
color it's exciting for our kids and the
ass is great building really is the next
school we want to update you on is the
Franklin High School on Friday September
1st at 6 p.m. we will inaugurate
Franklin new football field and track
you in the quick Quakers first home game
the Franklin is the final Portland
Public High School to receive an old
weather turf field and a new track the
project marks the completion of the ten
great food project which PBS has done in
tandem with Nike and financial support
from the city of Portland
Motorola County Oregon Sports Authority
local soccer clubs and others and this
is a really great partnership with a lot
of our partners with Nike and others
that provided this experience for our
kids given in a really nice field
Franklin High School it's cost about a
hundred and fifteen million dollars
and some of the features in this school
I'm going to just go through some of the
stuff the old size was 237,000 the new
size is about two hundred eighty
thousand it's a DEA compliant and he had
about six elevator there's a significant
solar energy work that's been done there
in the former auditorium converted to
media center new student Commons with
indoor and outdoor eating areas a new
science classroom CT and makerspace new
Performing Arts Building new gem
biomedical and Culinary Arts Center with
that I'm happy to answer any questions
about Franklin any questions from the
board looking great
yeah it's beautiful I drove by it
yesterday clearly another gorgeous
building the last school we have is
Roosevelt High School it's 92 million
dollar project we opened phase one last
year without to open Phase two
so the the second opening will be on
Friday September 29 beginning at 4:00
p.m. among some of the changes we done
since then is the old sizes two hundred
and two thousand square feet the new
size 247,000 I'll have a new gymnasium
and weight room three new CTE classroom
including industrial arts construction
and robotics writing digital media
publishing center new Commons and
cafeteria and new theater and drama
classroom conclude our we thought that
the new three schools but we have a lot
of work that's done this is just glimpse
of what's being done I could practice
within hours talking about it any
questions you have
from here Jerry yeah but we had an event
in June
the Roosevelt a new Performing Arts
Center that was just is beautiful so
exciting the families were thrilled all
of these projects about 95 percent
complete and we've made up the time that
we lost during the snow days that was
nine ten days to the district but to the
contractors who can't work on the site
again it was over three weeks and and
also I just can't say enough about the
construction crews on both Roosevelt and
Franklin because they signed agreements
two years ago when the school year
started after Labor Day and when it came
back they lost that time two years in a
row plus two years of snow days ice days
in a row and they're there they're just
doing a great job great we're grateful
grateful and all excited for that
opening it's got anything on the
anything more to add on the transition
of grant to Marshall other better than
that he's been painted blue or something
like that so that was actually when I
heard 5 in Franklin Roosevelt I started
put a grant one together but I thought
me we were going to do that at another
update because we also have a video we
wanted we're poor comprising I want to
show you just like we did back in the
Franklin days we have grant students
saying hi this is my past this is how I
get on this is how I get there and we
have some of the bus stops and
00h 35m 00s
established that we're going to do with
the part that's being transported but
it's coming together but it would need
you know an August board meeting in a
way we'll give you the whole meal deal
while we're on the topic of facilities
it may have this year Portland voters by
a wide margin approved a new bond to
modernize and we build schools and
address health safety and accessibility
issues this evening will receive the
first of all the quarterly reports on
the environmental health safety and
accessibility fixes in the 2017 bond
lemon ask Superintendent Awad again to
collecting whiteboards Jerry Vincent and
his team too
make that a port to the book thank you I
don't know if they're going to turn on
the PowerPoint because all I have a look
at that someone's actor so so we're know
the word asks for an update on what
we're doing this summer and this fall
but I thought especially with three new
members and I won't camp out on this we
presented to the board twice but I
thought you should see the background so
if you had questions about how come
you're going there and why when we get
to what we're doing we got a little bit
of backdrop here to tell you how we got
to that so I have part of our health and
safety team here tonight literally after
May 16 when the lead and the water by
June we had a team we've met every week
used to spend part of that so we have
some of our team here tonight dr. John
Burnham we were so lucky to get him he
retired out of Oh Hsu as their director
environmental health and safety for 23
years he's going to go over a little bit
of how we got to the criteria the
categorical and then we're going to talk
to two other members so I'm going to
bring up in the right time so John why
don't you just walk us through big
picture oh my gosh supposed to go this
way you tell me
or maybe I don't
okay what do you want to do with that I
could do that like it okay so wait an
overview of our process good yeah stick
okay so very much mistaken we actually
met daily a very beginning mind because
the things coming out of frightened
ourselves
yeah good evening everyone I'm John
Barnum I am the interim director of
Environmental Health and Safety my role
tonight very quickly for you we thought
would be wise to provide the new members
with a real quick executive summary of
how we've selected those eight different
health and safety programs who went into
the bond so the best way to describe
that is to tell you what the real quick
the whole entire process I came on board
in the middle of July of 2016
one of my responsibilities that was
given was to do a gap analysis for the
environmental health and safety group
that was a group of three people working
inside a PPS I published that report in
late 2016 and if you look at this slide
I found that that group was responsible
for overseeing 57 different
environmental health and safety programs
that's a lot of programs but it's not
unusual for a group the for the group
institution that's big within that was
one program was lead and water 56 other
ones besides that so next slide there a
jury how did I how did I do that gap
analysis this is the third one I've done
by the way I've done one a PSU and also
OHSU there's a number of steps that I
take that I developed over the years but
the real bottom line here is those last
two bullets and that is that I use
institutional risk as a driver to
identify the needs of each of those 57
programs and also those eight which is
most of those are embedded in the 57 so
really it's about institutional risk
slide I just wanted to provide this to
you in case you had some unusual
interest in risk assessment here's some
of the resources I've used over the
years I'm not going to cover those with
you but I wanted to show them to you I
did want John to put these in here
because one of the things the board's
talked about since that that fateful day
was what are we doing in terms of not
enough people over work and best
practices so we could probably just rest
on John alone is 23 years if you can do
this for OHSU you can certainly do that
here but in addition to John's
background he relied on these kind of
resources for best practices and how we
go out and how we got what we have so we
didn't just make this up in a back room
somewhere no oh yeah this is this is I
developed this process of a 23 years
00h 40m 00s
next slide or there we go
and so is what is called the velvet the
procedure I developed over the years I
call it a a multi category risk
assessment because what I found is that
although EHS is heavily regulatory
driven in reality there are lots of
other impacts they can have on an
organization I saw that at OHSU
reputational risk is a major issue for
example at OHSU or at PSU oftentimes the
agent people don't look at that very
carefully so that's one of my six
categories I don't want to go into
detail here this is actually severity if
you know much about risk assessment you
have to combine this or something about
frequency or probability we do have
frequency information a lot of the
programs that we're working with for
example how often do we have a serious
fire you can get some idea about
frequency and combine that with this
kind of information so bottom line is I
used the institutional risk approach to
inform the gap analysis and what the
needs were there but also those eight
items that were on the bond that's
really the bottom line here the next two
slides give you a little bit more
insight into the process what this does
for us to start to move you'll see the
next few slides an item that might be
emotional to some - what's be probable
what's the probability of that happening
because that's really where we're
measuring risk is the probability end of
it so by the way the four board members
that were previously on the board and
three of them here tonight so let me
give a 30-minute talk about the gap
analysis alone so I'm covering this like
a rocket review really really quickly
this is an executive summary so I think
this will help the new board members
understand the multi category approach I
want to keep it really practical so when
you look at these definitions I'm going
to cover them based on what we know
about led water and the impact it had on
our institution so take a look at each
one of these I'm not going to read them
exactly but financial risk you know the
impact of inadequately managing that
program by EHS millions of dollars for
the organization operational risk we
shut down our drinking water put in
bottled water and shut down our kitchens
with by the way they came back up
quickly we had some good thinking there
and we put those back in on the online
in October reputational risk what I need
to say about that all the articles have
written and so forth by the way I think
we've made a tremendous amount of
progress there not just to me but a lot
of people in this room had a major
impact on bringing back our credibility
and the bond was proof of that so in
that the last slide I have here in this
set these are the six risk categories
once again led in the water just give
you an example in this last one do you
mind if we brought up with questions or
rather that one no please so what
question
Charita so on the human health and
safety risk yes when you do that
assessment do you take into
consideration the specific populations
that could be at risk so for example
young children are more vulnerable
absolutely absolutely I mean you have to
look at the toxicology in the case of
lead for example and you need to look at
the population effect that's one of my
comments coming here so let's talk about
lead and water real quick and human
health and safety it's unlikely that
lead and water in our drinking fountains
is going to be the major source of lead
exposure especially for the young people
really young people in our in our in our
schools there are you talk to the county
you'll find out there's many other
sources outside the school system but we
certainly want to minimize the exposure
to live into our schools right so that's
why it's there I'm part of your risk and
then in your gap analysis talked about
how when we start to roll things out how
it's at the k3 level where they're most
vulnerable so it's covered in our detail
one that's on our website that's part of
the large analysis which is part of the
more detailed probably two powerpoints
by now has Ryan it there so it's a great
question a greater risk would be the
lead paint chips for example especially
at home so environmental risk you can't
measure environmental risk at 15 parts
per billion so it's a non-issue the
regulatory risk in spring of 2016
there were no state federal or local
regulations on letting water in our
schools and yet look what happened to
the institution it's pretty amazing
that's why I really look at all six
these categories because you know which
one's gonna be the most important it's
not just human health and safety and
regulatory is everything so so bottom
line is let's want to summarize it now
what'm line is what drove the gap
analysis for me and also the bond those
eight items was the institutional risk
00h 45m 00s
from those items so the space they put
so those items reduce themselves into
this being brought before the board and
the B sag and then we had as you may
recall three different levels 150 150
two million so this is what went forward
and into the the pond and then we
started John talking about that's passed
this bond and let's talk about what's
leading to what we're doing right now in
terms of factors for rolling it out
right here okay so let's talk about some
of these priority methods we are using
for this summer immediate work that
we're going to talk about a minute and
the intermediate work some of this is
also in our intermediate the long term
is where we're going to have focus
groups I'm going to talk about some of
this tell them what our rationale was
and how this is rolled out and get
feedback but go ahead and cover some of
with some of these meet some are obvious
some are not as obviously so we said
that is a group to look at all of these
eight items and decide how to fund them
basically we looked at the six different
approaches possible
we threw out across the board very
quickly because if you just take 150
million divided by eight it just doesn't
make sense for what these different
programs are so that go thrown out the
biggest drivers were a catastrophic list
I mean fire life safety you can have
multiple casualties in that situation
public awareness the the surveys showed
very clearly that lead water and lead
paint were big issues operational
savings roofs can prevent other issues
from occurring not just leaks and then
readily accessible is right on order to
amend the water operational money coming
back to the program you know for changes
made we use the combination of all those
last five yeah to come up with how to
allocate funding and 950 million all
right thanks Sean and I'll go to my Jose
coming up I want to talk about so we
take those items at John's cover we put
them into these variables right here and
start to get into a priority one we're
going to of what this looks like we just
chose roofs when you apply everything
John Deere through gap analysis into the
priorities in for the measurements of
risk it looks something like this this
is just roots for example we have what
our variables are we've listed what
their risk is what our indicator is how
we assign numeric values to that with
folks from the industry some experts in
there and when you're done with that
it's still a roof that's prioritized we
still need to take the PPS part and put
it on top of that which is our equity
based value we'll put on these on how to
roll these out district-wide so it all
done in one area versus another
this is why we're set up right now and
where we are to date with the progress
that we've made I asked as Joe one of
our other safety members from day one is
still probably our director of risk
management we have three departments
that are coming together to do this
health and safety work we have our
facilities and asset management
department we have our risk department
and then we have our office of school
modernization as it rolls from our
immediate and intermediate into our bond
by fall and we have senior director Dan
Young here as well so I'm the CEO
oh that oversees that manages that but
we have three main departments that are
doing this work so I thought I'd talk
some of these things our risk management
driven and lead and I thought I'd ask
Joe to talk about what his are oh I'm
sorry just one more so I discovered this
so this is how the work is flowing out
we have immediate largely being done
this summer right now are completed this
summer a little into the fall
intermediate largely between this fall
and it starts into the summer somewhere
in those bid packages and projects as we
set those up they roll into osm and then
we have our future which is the
long-term that's what we're doing seven
seven and a half years all the way out
to the end of the bond right now is our
work flow progress it's just a question
about the three ranking so if you're a
parent and the items in your school part
don't get an immediate category but they
fit in the intermediate category which
looks like it's going to happen this
between this fall and next summer how
would you know if there's an existing
risk still or health and safety issue at
your school and what generally things
are we communicating to parents about
how that's being mitigated yes so it's a
great question and it's going to be
we're going to have to look at many
different ways to deliver that message
that people get it's not just we posted
on our website
it's how did we get that specifically
out to you whether that's fire it or
this by email group so the
communications part of rolling out the
low-hanging fruit we're going to show
you what we're doing right now is
is going out we have a part of our sorry
one of our health and safety from day
one has been our public relations
department CIPA so two things that they
00h 50m 00s
have been invaluable in we're the
experts in the area they say if I can't
understand that a board member or a
parent probably can understand that I
think I would say that differently if I
was you and then they work with this on
how do you message these items as
they're coming out so that's that's
actually the next thing we need to do is
message where we're going
message what we're in the middle of it
and then message how we've wrapped it up
and what's tested out fine and what is
now complete at that site so that's a
plan that's still being worked on you we
wanted an update for tonight but I'm
going to be honest where there's a lot
of work to do on that area and we need
some input yeah thank you madam
chairperson members of the board good
evening my name is Joe Collier director
of risk management I'm about eight
slides to go over with regarding radon
mitigation systems and asbestos a quick
background radon is a naturally
occurring radioactive gas long term
health hazard the Oregon Health
Authority and the new healthy and safe
Schools Act required testing in schools
every five years where a mitigation
system has been installed
if there is no mitigation system needed
we're still now required to test every
ten years the systems that we are
installing we are requiring a ten year
warranty from the companies that provide
those and this allows us to have another
opportunity to capture two of those
five-year tests within the warranty
period and you know effectively keeping
the burden of effectiveness on on the
vendor that designed and install the
system tonight that question about that
real quick yes I'm so as I understand it
from what you've explained in the past
the radon risk can kind of shift from
year to year things can change over time
and you can mitigate what you've got
right now but two years later there may
be something else right did I am I get
okay
wrong so so for this for this warranty
does that mean if we discover two three
years down the road that we now have a
different problem is that covered under
the warranty in a general sense yes it
would the radon is viewed as seasonal
and so what's defined as the winter
heating season is via the protocol of
the certified radon inspectors and
mitigation companies they can design and
install now we can measure now but it's
during that winter heating season that
they will confirm that we're below the 4
picoCuries per liter and it's only
during that validation that they'll put
their warranty on it and so yes if they
if we do our 5-year required test and
it's above four they would have to honor
the warranty and the warranty is on the
on the radon level not just the system
itself some exceptions would be if if we
as a district initiate construction on
the site when construction is initiated
and we have an example right now with
cesar chavez
we had one room validated for the need
for a radon system but we have an
external elevator being installed right
now and so the ground work is the ground
is being disturbed the foundation and so
when that work is complete we will redo
the testing of all the occupied
ground-level rooms because you know it
could be gone or they could be more
rooms that invalidates our warranty
right in that particular case there's no
system in place we've been able to
validate more background for last winter
heating season we as a district we
contracted we had all regulated occupied
ground rooms ground level rooms have
their initial short-term radon test
and then additional testing has
warranted so that was a little over
$100,000 and an entire season of testing
to get us to where we are now so that we
know where the mitigation systems are
needed and we can and what we were ready
when the bond was approved with with
locations and those warranties roll out
in the original scope of work if we have
three areas identified at meek and then
a fourth one obviously profits crops up
later on with the test that wouldn't be
part of the warranty that was outside
where we know it knew at that time and
the work that was performed at that time
it's a great question and by the way in
terms of rolling out the message we need
it tonight in order to message out to
the parents exactly we're showing you we
just might be a good idea that you
didn't read about this through the paper
through an email blast and board members
actually heard first we want to say to
you
so sip has been part of writing to stuff
in a draft right now and how we're going
to roll this out so okay so today's
gonna come up just to clarify then every
school will be tested on a rotating
serve a five-year basis going forward
00h 55m 00s
correct going forward with the new
healthy and Safe Schools Act organelle
Authority guidelines were published last
year so even in schools where radon
levels were low and did not warrant
mitigation they do now require testing
every ten years so that would be the
that would be the longest interval
between testing would be ten years okay
five years if there's a mitigation
systems to capture okay thanks on this
slide we're illustrating what's recently
completed and these are three locations
where a permanent mitigation system is
now in place meet cafeteria lent office
and then lent music room which is a
separate building but is tied to the
main building the utilities are tied to
the same average cost you can see real
quick math here's about 20 grand per
mitigation system when forecasting the
bond we used a rough estimate of 30,000
per per location this is a small sample
set so we'll still kind of watch that
and see if the average cost is remains
low it just depends on the complicated
systems in larger buildings thicker
walls basements versus maybe a single
level building
all right currently we have design
validations in progress for skyline room
105 a aqua green the gym the adjacent PE
office and the adjacent dance room which
is all contained in a north wing of aqua
green a validation system is a
mitigation system that is in place and
is effective with these in particular
once we're in the winter heating season
those vendors can validate with
certainty that their design works put a
warranty on it the design systems are
usually calm compromised comprised of
permanent parts and some non permanent
parts they will wait to go through a
roof penetration and use maybe a window
or some other kind of vent to validate
the air movement and all those things
that they're doing before committing to
the construction there but those are
systems that are in place and going with
the results that we were able to get for
that over the entire season of testing
we now have 26 rooms and 15 schools that
are validated and need radon mitigation
we have a project manager assigned to
that and those are going to go out in
about two or three groups of bids the
qualified vendors now qualified still
have to provide a quote on each one
tomorrow morning for example the
companies are doing a walkthrough at
Jefferson there are two locations two
separate locations at Jefferson High
School that have been validated as
needing radon mitigation so that will be
in fact two two systems and that
walkthrough is tomorrow the 26 rooms
once again will communicate that
with the assistance of CIPA but that we
will see additional yeah one of the
issues with that is why you've heard me
say with other things who's bidding the
work how many people turn in a number
and is the number anywhere in your
reasonable so when we say we're going to
get to 15 schools and we're going to
start right away
we're going to start right away we're
going to get to 15 schools as soon as we
can with a March 18 but it's just it's
just brutal out there right now trying
to find labor and find companies a lot
of them even with large scopes of work
aren't even returning a phone call back
to the general contractor whether
they're interested or not they're just
not even returning those calls they
don't need to but this is the plan on
how we're going to roll this out here
and we will see repeated radon
mitigation at aqua green and meek other
locations within the school are now
validated as also needing radon
mitigation so those those schools in
particular will will see more the
district has an open position right now
for our permanent director of our mental
health and safety so we're trying to get
that filled dr. Jon has stayed on he was
with us to the end a year at this point
so we're trying our best to get that
position filled that reports directly to
Joe that was one of the things that came
out of facilities asset management and
lies with the risk Department which
makes a lot more sense having it there
01h 00m 00s
and then asbestos all those kind of
things and playground safety a lot of
those are the risk management right now
and they make more sense of either so
with that that's exactly why Joe is
going to give us an asbestos update if
you have any further questions on radon
okay
the mind of its own okay quick
background asbestos is a naturally
occurring mineral fiber occurs in rock
and soil it's been used for many years
for fire proofing insulation building
material it's also a long-term health
hazard also a respiratory hazard at
Portland Public Schools we have twenty
four hundred and twelve recorded
applications of asbestos use we call it
ACM asbestos containing material or
asbestos containing building material
that's in a database that has been
populated since 1988 and in the last few
years been upgraded to a more robust
database system we have six local
asbestos abatement firms on contract now
so as we put these jobs out to bid those
qualified vendors will be the ones that
have to walk the site and provide a
quote with each abatement for the
regulations there is a proof of
clearance of the clearance of the air by
an independent third party we just want
you know we will also communicate the
word out to the principals to the public
but we don't react you PI until we get a
clearance test you know and we don't
rely on the clearance test being done by
the one who did the work thank you very
much so in these first two just looked
like bullets twenty four hundred to six
firms it took a lot of work to get six
firms all the way through the process
and on board and to identify which is
actually part of the bond measure it's a
twenty four hundred items right there
so our immediate immediate which is
hopefully by the end of summer 2017
small abatement projects usually these
are the removal of pipe em pipe
insulation a couple examples
Wilson auditorium prop room bucket in
basement also pre 2017 bond small-scale
abatement projects were done as needed
as budgets allowed and then of course
the small projects don't occupy the
school and so some are small enough they
can be done on a weekend and still get
the clearance of the air and the
negative pressure set up for the room
and all that and then pre 2017 bond
abatement was also done whenever called
for in a repair or a construction
project
okay currently and currently has fall 17
through the beginning of the 2018 summer
specialist containing material tile
flooring replacement at Stevenson
sitting and Beaumont cafeteria the
sitting project is actually underway
with crews on site right now Stevenson
is underway in a different fashion the
the floor the subfloor is actually the
project manager reports that it has a
curve to it it's sagging and so there
there's engineering going on to brace it
from below and make it a proper and true
floor so that the asbestos tile can be
replaced and the next tile won't be
won't be compromised by that Beaumont
cafeteria is currently being scoped for
bid and should be a Christmas break
project all the modernization projects
when existing structure is being
upgraded all asbestos abatement is being
done on those and then once again
whenever integral to a minor
construction or repair specimens
asbestos abatement is happening these
projects already came through the
facilities asset management bedding the
fam department either through
prioritization to the work order which
turned it into a project which turned it
in to equity lens this is some of that
work those already set up we can do this
work there's some things that could be
done over summer there's a thing to
extend a little bit further could be
swing shift could be weekend shift and
then as we start to drift out into
intermediate in the long term there's
more involvement there's more
stakeholder so it's got the principal's
back and let's talk to them we have to
go to our Civic you know use of building
spokes and say what was scheduled at
those ones we either need to cancel that
we're going to go over here so we don't
have to cancel that major event and then
we'll come back after that so that's
where the more thought-out process is on
01h 05m 00s
how we go forward with intermediate in
the future
future asbestos abatement defined as
most likely summer of 2018 we will be
looking forward to abatement projects of
significant square footage and these are
going to be large flooring matters
significant square footage during twenty
thousand thirty thousand or more square
footage of ceiling tile that is asbestos
containing flooring tile and also
spray-on fireproofing Jackson Middle
School for example the drop ceiling
above the auditorium is all spray-on
fireproofing of a specialist containing
material so it's stable but it's the
most it's the least desirable
application of asbestos containing
material it is easily damaged and it's
as friable breakable by hand power so
those are the the bidding and the
planning is very large-scale when you
have to enclose an entire large area
like that so those will be in the works
now but for the planning and bidding as
an example to your Harrison Park Jason
Lee Jackson that I mentioned in holiday
annex so future project in each one of
these areas a specialist of water some
of that starts to go they might be
individual bid projects based on the
market and availability of folks that do
just this they also role to osm in terms
of economies of scale where now we have
architect engineer we have a bid package
we're going out to that school to do
some of that fire sprinkler some of that
fire alarm
this radon that asbestos and and you
know we're putting more things together
into the packages so that's more that
laid out plan that's going on this ball
and that's how we roll for the future
you know your 2.5 of the bond out to
your 8 any questions of Joe honest pesos
otherwise we'll have Steve come up and
talk about water Ness
thank you thank you I know some of this
stuff is dry but it's important
pictures the big fancy buildings I know
that it's important
Steve F Rose is a senior project manager
and facilities asset management you're
also looking at our senior project
manager is going to be overseeing the
Kellogg project and the teardown and the
brand-new but he's wearing a water hat
and a lead hat and a couple of different
hats for us right now so Steve's just
going to give you an overview we're not
going to read the whole the whole slide
view but we're going to give you an
overview of a little where we're good
where what we've done so far and why
that why that rules on the plan that
we're setting up right now thank you so
beginning with the water quality
projects over the last year we've been
working with ch2m our consultant testing
and evaluating over 10,000 fixtures
we've gone through a process of
determining the level of service that is
how many potable water fixtures does
each school need to operate we've
reduced that total number down to a
little over 1,200 fixtures that we're
addressing directly we've coming up
coming up with a plan to basically
implement the replacement of those
fixtures and if necessary doing partial
pipe replacements so in the past few
months we've been developing an RFP
process we've had a number of
contractors that have responded and we
selected four contractors that have been
pre-qualified to do this work and now
we're doing essentially a summer rollout
summer slash ball roll out where we're
bidding out what is called phase a
fixture replacement and we've decided to
select you can actually move in the next
oh no we're back yeah I'm fine
we've decided to select a cross-section
of schools that also have no summer
program so that we can get into these
immediately so this you know we're going
to go through the entire district all
the faucets so from an equity standpoint
we're going to each one of our clusters
we're taking two schools either you know
of the ones that we either have you know
most pictures under survey we're going
to everything so everyone's going to
we're going to get there this is the
rollout summits based on the criteria to
Steve just mentioned well for
contractors the issues is can they are
perform are they overwhelmed and and
we're not going to lend you anymore
until we see how they handle this and we
of course have to coordinate back to the
sites again with water down on the site
water back up again so this is our
rollout plan thus far yes so I have a
question about that in terms of capacity
when last we spoke about this as a full
board
01h 10m 00s
the bids had come in but we were in the
process of evaluating how much work
would go to each of the contractors
based on our confidence in their ability
to get it done in a timely fashion so so
what can you say more deeply about that
and how much work we're getting done and
how constrained we might be by the
marketplace so we actually a meeting
today with day CPM who's our
construction manager is going to help
oversee this process because of a lot of
you think Steve's doing for us and so we
went to the criteria of how do you know
it's construction experts how to measure
what the industry says that they should
be able to do and how many they can do
you know and what their progress should
be one of the first things is evaluating
getting a schedule from them how are you
going to get to these schools what do
you think your timeframe is I'm when
you're going to start and when you're
going to finish and then we're going to
stop in they have a separate person
pride
manager who is going to pop in on site
get the m2 fingerprinting those kind of
things or not if it's off hours and then
we have to come up with what we believe
their schedule is accurate or not
accurate and how fast they're going to
move through the sights we did want
eight contractors we got four we want
one for each clusters we move faster we
have four we're letting them out slowly
if some of these really respond will
give them more than four schools we'll
move them into another cluster our goal
is to try to get this done by next
spring and get through this so you can
see what's kind of coming up we do our
next round of water testing again see
who completely clears and water back on
and communicate that and or we decide
that it's still an issue where we close
down or debris move fountains and get
into the pipes but so we we're asking in
what they believe they can do right now
a mead answer your question we need to
see them working and watch them to see
if they're coming in and we're close to
what they say they can accomplish so
that's our next thing what can they
really do tonight's good I'm Trustin
about the selection of these sites
so I I thought I understood from what
you had told us before that a lot of the
decision about which schools to start
with was being driven by an agreement a
pre-existing agreement with the city
you're closed we're going to get there
that's to do with fire alarm ah okay so
so can you say a little bit more about
how these schools were chosen so this
was simply these are the schools that
are available in terms of not having
programs operating them over the summer
so it in some ways this was both a
cross-section geographically we wanted
to look at every cluster in the district
but also we wanted to be able to move
quickly so we didn't impact summer
programs that are occurring throughout
schools in the district so these are the
ones that's essentially the low-hanging
fruit of that cross-section you know and
I'll just I'll say it again a Mabon is
strange because you have a may bond
and you're trying to do something over
summer while everybody's gone so
September they don't come back and say I
can't believe you can do anything over
the summer and that's exactly it so
we're rolling out where we can roll out
over this summer the greater input and
greater listening session and
intermediate and the long term or you
know if it's a november bond you've
already have plans you already have
ideas you've already communicated it
you're rolling out and literally from a
May 17 until June 17 or so you're trying
to put something together to get out
there and get something done okay thank
you
eeee the dairy has gone over most of
this in terms of what happens the
fixtures past then they go into service
they don't then they have a secondary
process where we would determine if the
fixture is necessary in terms of the
level of service and then we would
proceed into designing a partial pipe
replacement and then it gets tested
again so an example if there's if
there's a there's 300 pictures on a site
they all test well except two we don't
see any operational reasonable we can't
depend on geographical where they're at
disconnect those and cap them off and
get that school back up and running you
know if there's one where there's 300
fixtures and 200 aren't testing well
it's got to come from the pipe then it
must not be the fixture replacement is
the only issue they stay on bottled
water we roll to the next phase which is
analyzing some of the pipes underground
deciding how we either have to replace
an abandon the pipe or dig it up and put
a new one in back out to the street so
that's what this process right here is
this is a battery to participate to my
battery
Thanks I think we basically gone over
this swoop sorry it's just okay can you
01h 15m 00s
hit the next one yeah all right thanks
three good any questions about about
water so it's the same thing we have our
immediate right now we have our
intermediate which is this is still
we're trying to get the ninety sites so
the immediate intermediate kind of rolls
from right now all the way in the next
spring it's a little bit different on me
and then we switch right into the future
would be after testing them and then if
any come up bad what our next step is on
that if it's minor take them off if not
they will do a future itself tragic if
you have any more questions we're going
to let pain so as part of the lead paint
project last years you're probably aware
PBS environmental and engineering
conducted a comprehensive survey of all
painted building surfaces in the
district they identified close to 1
million square feet of deteriorated
paint so what's happening now on the
exterior PBS began identifying four
sites throughout the district with the
highest amount of deteriorated paint on
the exterior these are typically wood
sided building so they have the greatest
risk of deterioration those sites are
aster
Atkinson Hayhurst and Woodstock so this
work was contracted in the spring and
it's currently underway and will be
completed in a few weeks so those are
pretty substantial projects I think
close to half a million dollars worth of
work sealant just just over and you know
with the rainiest season on record in
the last two years these wood these wood
buildings went even faster than they
showed up in terms of the end yet that
ago today in terms of the interior we've
hired five new internal painters that
are currently doing interior lead paint
containment work and we've identified 20
sites with the most deteriorated
interior paint to begin work this summer
the summer work has been prioritized
based on the absence of summer programs
as well as providing the greatest equity
and geographic representation so that's
essentially the list that you see in the
order is based on
some of that input in terms of equity
and representation just a question about
the summer programs issue so I'm
assuming next year in advance will the
instructions to schools that didn't have
it address this year to have their
summer programs in other schools or not
to have some program so they absolutely
you can do cycle that nd exactly
any questions about lead paint we met up
we have our we have our fire alarm
expert coming up now well this is Steve
F Rosie's our senior manager he's also
our fire alarm person so I've actually
been working closely with the fire alarm
staff here at PBS and this the fire
alarm approach starts with a 2016
agreement between PBS and Portland Fire
& Rescue that agreement includes groups
and phases of work based on addressing
the oldest fire alarm systems first so
in terms of what's happening now this
district fire alarm staff have completed
fire alarm control panel replacements of
all of the first group of schools with
subsequent group and phasing underway
and a critical next step that we're
undertaking is that we've met with
initially the fire marshal and we're
going to have a follow-up meeting to
discuss the most effective way to
coordinate the current PBS fire alarm
staff work with future bond funded
contracted work so that can be completed
as efficiently as possible
as part of those I'm sorry questions
about fire alarm I mean we've been
rolling out we've been doing it we are
doing it prior to the bond we're just
going to keep on doing it it could get
done a lot faster coming in instead of
our crews in the 18 and forward where it
becomes part of our osm we're going out
there and doing everything but we've
been doing it and making progress well
before the bond ever passed sorry
finally as part of the fire sprinkler
system scope the prioritization of that
is they're actually quite similar to the
roof replacement prioritization we look
at prioritizing based on a set of
criteria and those in this case include
the existing sprinkler coverage
percentage with its associated risk of
fire and smoke spreading the type of
construction of the building with its
associated risk again a fire and smoke
spreading obviously we're focused
primarily on wood wood frame structures
we look at the type of occupants so
particularly younger children have more
limited ability to safely exit the
building in the event of a fire and then
finally we look at exiting overall and
particularly when there are multiple
stories and that also obviously limits
everyone's ability to safely exit so
we've probably actually used that system
to rank and prioritize the work the part
of this I think like a lot of the other
01h 20m 00s
components is figuring out how to
package that work either individually or
as part of larger sort of projects right
but we don't want to do is take 8
categories environmental health and
safety and take the site offline eight
different times and disrupt through
education out there we're also not going
to get any economies of scale so a lot
of this will roll into our big picture
package of how we go around and how we
work on the buildings this is more of
our
any questions off fire sprinklers it's
uh it's you know when you look at dr.
John's analysis you go with probability
and fire alarm and fire sprinkler
affecting you know the classroom and the
occupants of the building are a higher
probability and then you have asbestos
when loose and radon undetected taken
care of you're getting into
probabilities and you know where it
really is it's a lot of this is coming
down to this is a priority-one and this
is a 1 a and this is a 1 B and this is a
1 C they're all priority one but this is
how we're approaching this what can we
do now what makes sense cost-wise to be
part of a bigger picture our minds
already on 158 million and how it needs
to stretch right and not going out and
doing a series of one-offs as well so
anything for speed so it's just just too
close back to kind of what we opened
with is now you're looking at how do you
take what you're doing and in relatively
briefly but thoroughly enough explain
that to the public and parents and so
that's it so with with tonight and
feedback that we have I will sit down
and in the morning with Shiva and talk
about how we talk about the
accomplishments of this summer what's
coming this fall what I do want I just
want to run through this because it
answers one of your questions you know I
just did a summary of what we've done in
just a couple months since the bond was
passed and we've done some prior ization
we have more to go we're in the
intermediate and mediate right now
scoping dan and his team are on the long
range what some of this looks like as
our other project managers come
available by September October off of
the summer work they're doing right now
so from the stakeholder advisory group I
talked earlier about some focus group on
some of these things so one of the
things I'd like to do for August I
thought about this this start with an
invite we're going to do this with our
master plan community groups say who
would like to become a day design
advisory group member for our new
projects first and then backfill with
some many people I'd like to get out to
the BCA gabon stakeholder advisory group
next month with an open invite if
the board wishes and see how many want
to be part of our H and s they were part
of the workup for the bond so they
already get a lot of this how many want
to be part of that H and s review of our
methodology long term where we're going
why we're going back fill that with some
other experts from in community input
but I wanted to first put that in put
out there to the stake laureate like 31
people if 20 say they'd like to continue
on and they'd like to be part of this
I'm working on a charter what we're
asking them to do and one or two quick
meetings and then maybe a yearly follow
up to take a look at and advise on the
next because these things are going to
be deteriorating they're not going to
get any better in people's positions and
where they're at might change in some of
these items so that was my first thought
on the roll out any comments on starting
with with that group I don't have a
comment about I said that the
stakeholder group but just in the sort
of the format of the communication so I
think this is a really useful tool that
walks through sort of the risks and the
approach and overall what's happening
what I think sort of a complimentary
piece of communication is for most
parents it's not going to matter what's
happening at the 80 other schools it's
going to be their individual students
school so thinking about this is sort of
for general audience which is really
important the taxpayers community
members and then something very specific
that in my school you know what's the
status of the lead in the paint let in
the water because at the end of the day
that's probably going to be the most
relevant actor and obviously translated
as well so it's accessible to the
broader community yeah you had something
like that Gerry for the bond where it
was really easy it was a math venue and
it was coated and you can see right away
who got a lab who got a room and I think
that's right the only thing I'd like to
change what that is that was the plan
and it got known as a promise so if we
did go your broker promise and it was a
plan you got have does a huge difference
doing a plan and a promise I mean
everyone's health message
that with this bond or it's going to be
a long bone thank you
yeah no but it helped people nobody
identified immediately with it anytime I
got a phone calls a new person they
talked about that man they knew exactly
about that map that map map worked it's
01h 25m 00s
just how we message that map but the map
worth yeah you're right
anything else I know it's not exciting
stuff but it's important stuff now now
it is exciting on Alderaan petitioners
are the new playgrounds and everything
all right thank you really great and
then we're also announced dark
committees and the health safety and
accessibility committee I think is the
committee that your future quarterly
reports will go to and we'll ask you to
work with that compact committee and
we're designing it so that we're being
able to highlight something that was
really important to the broader
community in the bond yeah thank you so
the two items that were not covered
tonight fencing and security I need to
get the other with some principle I
don't want to turn into a by schools of
one-off I could use a camera here and
there where it's not very efficient that
was our one that was really the least to
say at our research and everything was
the least it's going to take some more
time this fall when everybody gets back
to put that package together ad a I
didn't talk about because it's on its
own path to come back to you as you just
said through a community input
transition plan first read back to you
in November any input from you come back
in December for a final that's going to
be its own update to you guys over time
thank you for the whole team a lot of
hard work so earlier this evening the
board participated in a training session
on public meeting requirements and
tonight we're going to have a
complimentary session here our board
meeting on public records and those
public meeting requirements and public
record law guide and service parameters
for our board operations I'd like to ask
Anna Richter Taylor
inner chief of communications and Jim
Harris general counsel to provide an
update on the topics hi
hear me ok so we have been looking at
the public records issue for the last
six months pretty intensely just to run
I guess five purpose here today is to
run through some of the work that we've
been doing and then get some direction
from you as to which committee we can
ultimately work with to finalize some
recommendations to you as a board on
revisions to the policy so I can just
start quickly with the history the last
policy was updated in 2002 so it's quite
old very dated
the public records responsibility is
historically I'm sorry do I click this
instead all right okay sorry the public
records responsibility was in the legal
council historically and if you look at
and I have a slide here that didn't make
it in the PowerPoint but if you look at
the volume of requests it's grown let's
see in 2014 to 15 it was a total of 43
requests in one calendar year it's grown
to 221 during the 200 2015-16 year and
so far right 306 so and more than half
of those are from the media so as we
were looking at ways to improve the
internal process and where public
records should be housed given that the
vast majority is from the media we our
recommendation was to bring the public
records functions into the
communications office obviously in
coordination with legal counsel for
appropriate review and I think that you
know looking as well over the the growth
of the volume as well as the internal
operations and practices it has lacked
clarity
I think internally as an organization as
well as externally just to those seeking
records so that's one of the things that
we definitely want to focus on is
establishing some clarity and
consistency going forward
anything bad as we look at the NEET
assessment one is to restore PPS as
images transparent accessible and
accountable I think that that's very
important that I think the public
records process and accessibility to
this records for the general public as
well as the media is an important part
of that we need to update the board
policy to reflect the district
commitment to these goals of
transparency and accessibility of
information like I said the policies
very dated does not reflect that
adequately and to that end we need to
update the administrative directive to
implement the policy and provide clarity
on process fees and restrictions under
FERPA as well as formalize the internal
process for collection and response to
public record requests that's something
that also lacks clarity is that we can
receive a request and then it's a matter
01h 30m 00s
of understanding not only where the
records are possessed and then how
responsibility is to retrieve them so
that we can have the appropriate review
and be responsive so that's something
that along with the policy as well as a
be internal operational direction will
be improved we have hired a public
records officer which is the first step
in this which is been fantastic and the
public records responsibilities now in
the communications office we have
established some informal protocols for
collection response to requests but it's
it's informal at this point we need to
formalize it and a lot of that like I
said comes from the policy in the ad we
have our response time has improved it's
not where we want it to be and again
some of that is around the clarity
internally of the responsibility of the
various departments to retreat to access
the records that we're seeking in a
timely way and everybody's working very
hard and very busy but it's just a
matter of establishing that clarity of
roles and responsibilities and the other
departments too and some of that ties in
to Senate bill 481 which provides new
timelines around
that and expectations for
acknowledgement of receipt of a request
which again Ryan
the rindy and the new public records
officers fantastic and doing that so
there's new timelines associated as well
with along with the new law says as
acknowledging receipt of request
includes acknowledging whether you
possess the records that are being
requested and so that's an internal
function that we're going to have to get
right because we only have five days to
do that and then ten days subsequent to
that to respond to fulfill the request
with various caveats and did that law go
into effect upon passage January 1 2018
so we have a little time but still we'd
like to get I mean we are already
operating toward that it's not going to
be a huge jump for us which is good but
and that's just a you know it will be
helpful in providing internal guidance
expectations at staff but we would like
to even explore other ways to be more
responsive and more transparent in
general with the records that come in
and at the door right now we also have
an internal public records workgroup
that has been this meeting and going
through the current policies ad and as
well as looking at the kinds of requests
we're getting and really looking
internally at where we're struggling
with meeting those requests in a timely
way so that we can again come to you
with a recommendation and address it
internally so our proposed next steps is
be great to have guidance from the board
on the district's mission and statement
relating to public records to guys this
next to the guide to work around the
policy development and the AV these only
things that we have in the content and I
think that I come from a communications
background which my are the
Communications Office is is probably on
the side of list released at all but I
know that there's also legal liabilities
that we have to be respectful of and so
some direction around where it is to
conflicts would be great from the board
as well as establishing an internal
decision making team when there does
need to make
the colonies we made and including the
superintendent and that and racing it to
that level so the workgroup we will
finalize our assessment report and which
there's been a lot of research done
about what other public agencies are
doing and how they're addressing public
records who's doing it well and give
recommendations about where we think we
can you know if it's being done well
elsewhere we don't need to recreate
something they also and then we'd like
to be able to present draft policy
changes to reflect your position and
discussion for feedback ultimately we'd
like to finalize this policy and ad and
internal operation operational protocols
for implementation in August if we can
get there but again our end goal is
clarity of policy process and
accessibility for all PPS employees
families media and others in the
community policies and practices that
advance commitment to transparency
consistency and clarity and the
application of state and federal laws
relating to student and employee privacy
and ultimately fewer legal challenges a
faster response rate and restore trust
and PPS process I could jump in and what
items I would mention and I have done
with records requests ever introduced
friend requests fear obviously recover
a number of people with legal
backgrounds so the requests read more
like discovery requests and litigation
than they do as public records requests
01h 35m 00s
that most entities receive so in that
regard they're much more detailed and
much more intensive particularly when it
comes to email and electronic
communications so that's something to
consider
they comments or questions from the
board spend a lot of work really
appreciate it and getting think if you
can come up with the policy and
administrative director that
accomplishes that goal that will be a
very good thing for the board in the
district and the community so what I
like to ask is if you have like an
August you'll have some sort of draft
ready to bring it to the board will have
maybe an initial discussion is it some
direction likely we'll send it to the
finance at an Operations Committee for
deburr committee work and go from there
before you leave okay since it's got to
come to my committee let me ask a
question why I had to sit in here can
you be a can you elaborate a little bit
more about what kind of direction you
want from the board well I think that I
think that a mission statement around
I think direction in terms of this is if
you believe that everything is public
except for certain circumstances that
are covered under purpose or I mean I
think a lot of it is does rubber there
are conditional exceptions and
exemptions where we don't have to
disclose something that we can
so is the fourth philosophy going to be
just because we can withhold it and
protect it we should or no just because
we can does not mean we should I mean
that is really kind of where most of the
rum is and where the conflict is okay so
we have license to philosophize
excellent no does that answer your
question yes thanks thank you very much
look forward to sing that draft I next
I'd like to ask director Bailey to
provide an update on superintendent
recruitment process so right away as a
semi new board I guess we're facing a
really major decision in terms of
finding a new superintendent for us and
we appreciate you so stepping in into
the breech in the meantime that many
people are aware that we tweaked the job
description from the previous search and
changed the search process somewhat and
so far so good it's been really exciting
we've had a good group that we did
initial talent panel interviews with we
had a spirited discussion too we know
that group down to the second round that
we're in the middle of right now one of
the things that we asked candidates to
do in this round was to talk about how
their experience bring data from their
current district around three of our key
benchmarks graduation rate through great
literacy and disparities in discipline
and to talk about how they've dealt with
those and what kind of progress and
they've made so do they have a history
of making progress on those three patch
marks and what will cut types of
strategies have they used and that was
led to do a lot of robust discussion
going forward so we're I'll just say
speaking for myself right now I'm very
excited
we have some really great candidates
we're in a it's a great place to be to
be choosing making win-win choices so
far so good except for it was really hot
in this building on Sunday but that's a
small price to pay it was really early
for three of us anyway
yeah we're finding out who's morning
people and thank you so the next agenda
item is kind of this different Elvis
told first couple meetings we're
focusing a lot on how we do our work and
changing the processes about how we do
our work and what our work is and one of
the items tonight is talking about sort
01h 40m 00s
of alt policy development so one of the
key roles of the school board is to
develop policy and it's the board's role
really to set the general direction and
policy and then the day-to-day
management of the operational work is
for the superintendent and staff but in
order to be able to do our the board to
do with policy development work we need
to have it be accessible to two board
members to school community to staff and
right now the policy manuals not really
in a very usable form it's online it's
about 20 different individual documents
it's not searchable so we've asked the
superintendent staff to be the policy
manual in a form in which it's all one
document it's searchable so that when
community members when parents when
principals have a question about
district policy they're able to
be able to actually look at and go
online and find out what the applicable
policy is so they can if we're going to
expect people to follow policy they need
to be able to find it so that'll be that
one of the first things we do is just
get it in this searchable format that
will include administrative directives
as well yes so because I one of the
things about administrative directors in
the past is that it's as an outsider it
seemed like they changed without notice
and I'd like to ensure that and I don't
know if that happened or not it just
seemed that way but it would be good to
make that process more transparent going
forward as well and I think probably why
it seemed like it just happened is
administrative directives are really the
sort of administrative rules for
implementing policy and so it doesn't
most of them don't go through that same
level or sort of rigorous board
discussion but well-well noted that when
they change they should come to they're
there they are crucial in terms of how
things actually happen and that's why
it's important to make that as
transparent as possible so in as we look
at the board policies that we're going
to be working on one of the first ones
we're going to be working on is really
what the policy related the board's role
and our responsibilities it hasn't been
refreshed to reviewed and more than a
decade
kind of like the public records request
so the 2016-2017 board requested that a
expert in sort of institutional board
governance go through those policies and
recommend some changes and refreshes and
we have that now so and now that the
board the new board has been constituted
we need to go through those and decide
whether we want to accept those changes
and formally adopt them or make
revisions so that'll be the very first
policy we'll just get going in addition
to our public records policy
in addition another note about just the
board's operations this school years the
board committees were released this
morning they're going to be posted on
the website tomorrow along with
jurisdictions and for chairs can and
committees can start organizing their
work and I thought it worthwhile to talk
just for a few minutes about how the
committees are going to work both for
board members but also for staff so that
because it'll be--it'll feel differently
I think then work that's happened before
in the past resolutions may have come to
the board they get discussed at the
board meeting and then voted on we're
going to have a process by which our
committees do some deeper work on things
that come before the board so that we're
more intentional about our work but
really the committees are going to be
the places where planning preparation
and foundation foundation of policy work
of the board happen and the work that
will happen in the committee's but then
it will come to the full board for
discussion so every board member will
have an opportunity to participate in
the discussion and adoption of a policy
roughly here's how the committee
processes into work so issues come to
the board for consideration action will
be referred to a committee committee
jurisdictions will be find and
superintendent will definitely we've
already had a discussion about
designating a staff member or members
who are on point to work with each of
the committee's depending on the
committee's jurisdiction so there'll be
somebody who has their responsibility
01h 45m 00s
responsibility for a particular issue
teaching and learning is probably we
know yes you know it would be assigned
to your committee the committee's will
be asked to build over the next two
months to build work plans with using a
common template for both work that the
committee initiates so some of the work
will be work that the committee
decided that they want to work on it's
going to be in their work plan and then
some of the works that will be referred
to it from the full board the
expectation will be that committees will
have annual work plans calendars that
are built by committee members in
collaboration and informed by the
designated staff the work plan should
have an annual calendar will set meeting
dates and times so really that the
community can expect to know in advance
when say for example a particular audit
may be coming up or something and
teaching-learning around middle schools
so that there's a calendar that's
visible and people we have regularly
scheduled meetings ideally the times are
going to be accessible to community
members so they can attend the meetings
will be noticed and committing me in two
minutes will be available one thing I
want to stress is that committees
deliberate and make recommendations so
they're not making decisions on behalf
of the board they're making a
recommendation to the full board so say
something comes out of the
teaching-learning committee it's a
recommendation to the full board for
consideration and we expect that there's
going to be cases in which a particular
issue so we have a lot of complex issues
that we're going to be working through
this year that sometimes that's going to
require really close coordination
between two committees I'm going to use
the sort of new middle schools as an
example on teaching and learning
committee will have a the middle school
programming and what's happening in
those middle schools but the enrollment
and forecasting committee will be
looking at the boundaries and how how
we're going to fill those middle schools
and so it'll be really important that
the committee chairs and the committees
take their work plans and there be
discussions across committees so that
we've got sort of integrated in align to
work and again staff will be critical to
this work let's see the value of
committee work will allow us to
distribute our work and gain a level of
depth and expertise that's greater than
possible when a full board tries to dig
into each issue and if a board member
has a substantive issue for
consideration for the board we'll go
through the committee process which
allows for greater transparency to the
community so people can raise issues
we'll have a other business section of
our board meetings if people want to
raise an issue that's they can at the
board meeting it's not going to be
decided so just so can be decided during
the other business section if somebody
bring something but it will likely be
referred to a committee and frankly
either's I think when we look at what
the work plans and we set priorities
that it that's going to be a tool for us
to decide things that are lesser
priorities that maybe we're going to set
aside for next year but really it allow
us to prioritize our work but we will
there will be an opportunity for board
members if they have something they want
to bring to the board that and have a
community consider that there'll be a
mechanism for that so that's how our
committees are going to structure to
work and we you know just thank in
advance the superintendent the staff for
the partnership because the board can't
do its work without expertise and
support from the staff and likewise we
we think it will inform our inform our
work so I think people should buckle up
we got a lot of work to do this year and
on thank you everybody for in advance
for agreeing to the aggressive agenda so
that's all we have on our committee
reports now we're also going to have
every board in meeting an opportunity
for if there's a particular milestones
or things that committee committees want
to flag for the rest of the board
there'll be an opportunity for committee
reports and since we haven't we're just
now getting our communities of and
running we don't yet have any committee
reports but we also want this be an
opportunity for individual board members
have attended conferences or
participated in things that it would be
good for the rest of the board to have
the benefit of their sort of wisdom or
01h 50m 00s
expertise or knowledge that they gain
from attending a conference and
superintendent Awadh applies to you too
if you'd like to share something with
the board feel free to let us know if
you want to do that tonight we have
recently director Moore and Anthony
attended the Oregon School Boards
Association summer conference where they
got I think updates on a number of new
initiatives so although director
Anthony's on the phone I think director
Moore is going to provide the report so
I'm going to any interest of time I'm
probably going to read most of this so
bear with me Paul Anthony and I attended
the Oregon School Board Association
summer conference from July 14 through
16 and a personal note this was my first
contact with OSB a and I have to say I
was pleasantly surprised the quality of
the presentations was really high and it
was as a new board member I found the
information really really useful and the
networking with board members from other
districts was was really fantastic and
I'm sharing lots of insights about best
practices and you know common issues so
I would encourage my colleagues to
attend
the fall conference I was really
impressed and I was especially intrigued
to learn that OS ba offers a library of
sample policies and that they update on
a regular basis contingent on
legislative action that changes statute
or you know any regulatory changes so
that as we review our own policies we
might want to consider looking at what
OS ba has available okay um so there
were lots of sessions and Paul and I
tried to divide up attending the
different sessions to kind of maximize
our the input we got and there are a lot
of things that I think were useful and
we're going to be providing materials
from the sessions that we attended in
the interest of time I'm just going to
focus on some of the things that I think
have broader interest among staffs in
the community there was a lot of really
good information that was you know kind
of hot off the presses we were just a
couple of weeks after the end of the
legislative session so we got some some
long-awaited clarification about a
number of things so I'm going to I'm
going to focus the time on on those
pieces and I should also say I did note
Paul had had better choices in his
sessions so what I'm about to say is
coming from from Paul but since he's on
the phone I'm going to be I'm going to
be delivering it but if there any
questions they should be directed to
Paul okay so OSBI staff provided an
overview of the legislative session and
as we all know there was no significant
action on the revenue side but there was
some movement on cost containment
most of the changes don't apply school
districts and of the ones that do most
do not apply to PPS since they're
related to ped and OS those are the
benefits organizations however Senate
bill 1067 modify the law regarding per
side accounts and contingency reserve
funds requiring greater public
transparency and limiting reserve funds
to 50 million dollars I should probably
add this is going to get pretty weedy
this is kind of detail given the recent
changes in the board we'd like to ask
the finance staff to review SB 1067 to
ensure that we're in compliance and to
give the board an update on our pers
reserve bonds staff from OD e presented
on Oregon's implementation of the every
student succeeds Act also known as SFA
this has significant implications for
PPS in the presentation reflected very
recent changes first both the old school
rating systems system and the s back on
which was based are being scrapped by
Oregon the intent is that the new rating
system will focus on equity will support
01h 55m 00s
a more well-rounded education will
encourage cross-agency alignment will go
to greater lengths to involve parents
families and communities in our schools
and the education of our children will
give greater funding flexibility and
will give a greater comprehensive needs
assessment the new rating system uses
labels quote comprehensive support and
the initial theorist ESI replacing the
old priority schools and targeted
support replacing the old focus schools
label under NCLB Oregon had
approximately 90 priority in focus
schools the OD e anticipates there will
be approximately 900 schools in Oregon
that will be labeled as CSI or TSI
these new labels the US Department
Department of Education has suggested
that comprehensive support schools
should receive an additional subsidy of
$500,000 a year for improvements and
that targeted support schools receive an
additional subsidy of $50,000 a year for
improvements at this time the OD e does
not believe we will be able to provide
even 1/10 of that amount the new ratings
behind these labels will be based on
achievement and progress in the
following categories one growth and
achievement in English language
acquisition two growth and achievement
mass three chronic absenteeism for
English Learner proficiency five
freshmen on track to graduate as both a
four-year two five-year cohort and six
the four-year and five-year completion
rates OD e currently has a request for
information out on a replacement test
for s back this summer they are
designing and drafting a report on how
to track and report test results in how
to revise the regulations on educator
evaluations they did say specifically
that state student assessments will not
be required in professional evaluations
this fall they'll be collecting input on
a draft report on how to identify si si
and TSI schools and putting out an RFP
for the replacement for the aspec test
this winter they'll be preparing the
district report card for 2018-19 in the
spring of 2018 they will implement that
report card and sign a contract for the
new state tests and in the summer of
2018
they'll be identifying the target
schools finally the OD e estimates
actually implementing all these changes
requires about a seventy million dollar
commitment they currently have less than
ten million dollars allocated to address
the issues on measure 98 the
presentation on the
implementation talked about
modifications to measure 98 coming out
of house build 2246 measure 98 created a
grant program to fund Career and
Technical Education programs access to
college level and college prep courses
and dropout prevention strategies
districts will be required to provide
four year plans each biennium except for
the first one when we will have to
submit a three year plan due to its size
and unlike many districts in Oregon PBS
will have to we'll have to dedicate
measure 98 funds to all three areas
specified if the district dollar amount
changes in the biennium then the
district can keep the designated amount
PPS can also spend measure 98 funds
biennium to be two biennium in other
words we don't have to spend on a
year-to-year basis we can do some sort
of medium range planning districts can
spend up to fifteen percent of their
measure 98 allocation on eighth-grade
activities that align with the measure
98 goals and finally this is a big
clarification PPS can spend measure 98
funds on new programs or to expand
existing programs that was one of the
biggest questions the legislature
allocated a hundred and seventy million
dollars to implement measure 98 for the
biennium which comes to approximately
$400 per students
I'm trying to come here to do a few the
five of those funds or okay for year one
02h 00m 00s
I have answer tonight for year one
districts submit a request for funds and
sign a grant agreements initial requests
for funds were due to OD e by June 30th
Oh de is currently verifying data and
after verification grant agreements will
go out to the districts the goal
timeline is that they'll be out mid to
late August once the grant agreement is
signed PPS can stop spending on okay how
still 2246 does mean that OD e will have
to do some rules modifications but
there's no timeline for the changes but
OS ba doesn't expect any major
programmatic changes to happen as a
result okay that's kind of detailed but
this was I was a meeting yesterday where
people were kind of shrugging their
shoulders about 98 what are we doing so
there's some we got some good
information from the conference dmem can
we apply give me information on from OSD
a on the educator effectiveness bill in
the implementation of that I have I do
not call you
I'm sorry I can't I couldn't hear the
question do we have any information on
what the educator effectiveness bill I'm
shocked reaction is terrible could you
say that again please
both thank you I appreciate that very
much Jim no they did not mention that at
all I did not hear anything on I think
your anything that natural question is
to be apply for fine I believe we did
meet the deadline and and I will verify
that just to make sure I understand we
did helpline at equal Evan the
conversation Academy Director Bailey so
a couple of things on measure 98 monies
is there an expectation that this is
going to kind of go out prorated for
districts or what if some districts
apply and others don't
will there be more available for the
applicants will some districts maybe be
turned down that their application was
good enough and if we cut a program
because of budget cuts can we use 98 to
restore that because it's it it seemed
like in the actual bill it said no but
we're here we are so director Bailey I
think those are all great questions and
looking at the our knowing that we have
still a work session afterwards but up
the great questions and I think sprint
under watt if you could not that we can
provide you a report Tenace of these
questions thank you three so we're
through a final agenda and there's one
other thing that I want to add in the
future or we could just have it be
impromptu but our student rep
Moses I do you want to be able to
provide a report or do you want the
opportunity depending on the board
meeting whether something's happen to
have an opportunity to share sort of
what's happening in our schools or do
want to wait to school starts or it can
be like I like you to take pieces I can
just request time to talk during the
committee portion about what we're doing
in super-fat in the doing using things
like that
great okay so we'll count on you to let
us know we look forward to that
especially when school starts is there
any other business for the board I just
wanted to thank you for working through
the process of the committee assignments
you know I wanted to be chair and on all
the committee's that didn't happen and I
appreciate the challenge it took to you
know we've got seven people a people
here care deeply about all these issues
and trying to balance that out as a real
challenge and I appreciate you know
flexibility going forward after six
months we can kind of tweak it if we
need to but I just want to appreciate
the work you put into that thanks and I
think this goes for not just the
committee's but everything we're doing
that we're going to have to see how how
things go
we'll want feedback from staff like
what's working what's not because we're
going to try and do a lot of different
things to make our meetings more
accessible informative and really be
able to work through a big agenda but
sometimes we might do something that
02h 05m 00s
doesn't quite work so people should
speak up and so that goes for the
committee's as well so everybody is free
to provide suggestions on how we can be
even better as a governing board thank
you Kenley had one update
short so at the people may recall that
at our last meeting we had two
representatives from the
african-american community who wanted to
who wanted to talk to PBS in the board
about the the upcoming opening of
Harriet Tubman middle school and in
particular talked about the possibility
of having a right of return so access
for students who may have been pushed
out of the neighborhoods there the
historical neighborhoods where they have
or the neighborhoods where they have
historical ties because of
gentrification and and also talk about
the potential for facilities
enhancements at Jefferson and last
Friday director style Esparza Brown and
I met with them and we had a I think a
really productive discussion and these
are complicated questions so we're going
to we're going to continue to be talking
and we're going to be bringing in staff
to to talk about how we might be able to
to accommodate these concerns and will
be will be continuing the discussions
and I think as time goes on we'll be
providing periodic updates interesting
happen anything Thanks
no just that I think that this will be
ongoing work for a while so we've
established some regular meeting so
expect updates as we continue and
partner with various staff in getting
the information that we need
no thank you Thank You Brune the meeting
is adjourned and the board will now
commune into their work session the work
session is here
