I WANT TO POINT OUT A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS SUMMER OVER PRIOR SUMMERS.
THE STUDENT NUTRITION TEAM WE PARTNERED WITH NOT ONLY THE ADMINISTRATION FRIENDSHIP IST BUT SOME OF THEM [INAUDIBLE].
WE HAVE LOTS OF STUDENTS THAT WERE EATING AND PARTICIPATING THIS SUMMER.
WE HAD NUTRITIOUS MEALS, FUN PROMOTIONS LIKE PIZZA AND THE PARK IN A BURGER BASH WITH TIGER-BUY BURGER BASH.
WHEN WE GREW OVER PRIOR YEARS, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS AREA WE PARTICIPATED IN GROUP, EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WAS EVEN HOTTER THIS SUMMER THAN IT WAS LAST SUMMER.
BUT WE HAVE LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS AND THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME.
WE WANT TO BE NOT ONLY CULTURE CONNECTOR, BUT WE WANT TO BE AN INNOVATOR AND BRINGING THE VERY BEST TO FRIENDSHIP IST.
NOW, WE DID THAT IS WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH BABYLON, A MICRO-FARM SYSTEM.
WE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GET ONLY PRODUCER OR SOURCE IT FROM TEXAS, WE'RE GOING TO GROW IT OURSELVES AND SERVE IT IN TIGER RALLY CAFE AT FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
ALSO WE'VE IMPLEMENTED LOTS OF EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT ALSO TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CUTTING EDGE.
WE HAD SOME FUNDS AVAILABLE TO DO THAT AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO GROW AND IMPROVE THE PROGRAM.
BUT JUST SOME OF THESE POS COMPUTERS, TOUCHSCREEN, PIN PADS, AND CARD READERS, YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW IMPORTANTLY CREDIT CARD READER IS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

[2.B. Construction Update]
[LAUGHTER]>> TODAY WE'LL BE DOING AN UPDATE ON THE 2020 BOND CONSTRUCTION.
WE JUST START OUT WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS SOON AS I GET MY EYES ON IT.
AS FORCED CLAPS CONTINUED REPORT IN AREA C, INSTEAD OF FINDING WRAPPING UP IN AREA A.
THE MAIN DUCT WORK ROUNDS BEING ROUGHED IN SECTIONS A AND B WHILE UNDERGROUND PLUMBING ROUGH AND CONTINUE TO BE SET TO CAPTURE PORTION OF AREA C.
LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE IS COMPLETE ON THE ROOF IN AREA A, 70% OF THE AREA AS ITS FIRST LETTER ROOFING.
STEEL CREWS ARE WELDING DOWN ROOF DECKING OVER THE GYM, SECTION C, DO TELL THEM OUT THE STORM SHELTER IN AREA B.
ALL ALONG THIS PROJECT IS GOING WELL AND IT SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK AND HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS AREA A, THIS IS GOING TO BE A CLASSROOM PORTION, YOU SEE THE METAL STUD FRAMING.
IF YOU'LL LOOK A LITTLE BIT OFF THE TOP PORTION OF YOUR LEFT-HAND SIDE YOU'LL SEE THE LIGHTING TO BE ROUGHED IN AS FAR AS THE CONDUIT IN THE BOXES.
ALONG MASS IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL, YOU LOOK BACK THROUGH THERE.
I CAN'T RUN OUT OF JAIL, SO IT WAS JUST HUNDREDS OF PERFECTLY CLONE METAL STATUS AND BRING IT INSIDE.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ADMINISTRATION AREA.
AS YOU WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR YOU CAN SEE OUR MAIN HVAC DUCT LINES ARE BEING LAND FIELD OF JUST THE GENTLEMAN'S HEAD AND LIFT, YOU'LL SHARE A ROOF DRAINAGE OF [INAUDIBLE] YOUR VMS ARE COMING AROUND.
THIS IS OUR STORM SHELTER AND THIS WOULD AREA B, YOU CAN TELL THAT BY THE BIG BEAMS, BUT YOU SEE THE REINFORCER UP METAL DECK IS ON THE ROOF OF YOUR TIME ON IT.
THIS IS THE CLASSROOM ADDITION, THIS WOULD BE AREA D, THIS IS IN THE NORTHEAST TOP CORNER, JUST SLAB A FEW WEEKS AGO, DECADES.
WELL, IT ON AND JUST TRYING TO STUDY ON FOR ELECTRICAL AND COUNTING ABOUT HIM.
THIS IS A SHOT FROM THE LATERAL ROOF, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST LAYER OR A BRIEFING GO AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS BECAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING IT RIGHT AND THAT'S A MILESTONE IN MY LIFE.
FROM THERE WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY ON OVERHEAD RUFFIANS AND AREAS P AND ARM WHILE SITTING HANGER FOR LARGE CONDUIT IN AREAS S AND K, UNDERGROUND PLUMBING REVIEWS AND RUBBING UP IN AREA D AND THE PLUMBERS WERE MAKING REALLY GOOD TIME IN AREA L. FLOOR SLAB CAN BE FORMED PREPPED, RECORDING IN AREA P AND E WHILE PUTTING YOUR ONGOING IN AREA D.
THE STEEL CREWS ARE COMPLETE IN AREA K AND WE'RE STARTING TO SEE JOYCE BEING ON AN AREA F. BRICK MASONRY BUILDING BLOCK IN AREAS OF J, H AND Q WHILE FOUNDATION BLOCK IS BEING LAID IN AREA P. WITH COMPETITION BEING REINFORCE AND CRAFT FOR CONCRETE, THIS PROJECT APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK AND MAKE IT IN GOOD TIME.
>> IS THERE ANY M IN WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE? JUST IN FRONT OF AREA P.
>> BETWEEN THE P AND K, BUT THE AREA N, I MISSED IT.
>> N IS BETWEEN P AND K, EXCUSE ME.
I'LL READ YOU THIS MAP TODAY AND APPARENTLY IS PART OF MY ALPHABET.
>> THERE ARE 17 SECTIONS IN THIS BUILDING AND I TRY TO JUST PUT A MORTGAGE IS ACTUALLY BUILDING GOING ON, IT'S REALLY CLUTTERED REALLY FAST AND I MISS THAT.
SO THIS IS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL AS YOU WALK IN THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT IS THE STORM SHELTERS/PRACTICE GYMS. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DECKINGS ON THIS AREA AND BRITAIN NATIONS ARE COMING UP WITH A BLOCK, WE'RE MAKING GOOD TIME.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE FACILITIES AT TWO-STOREY CLASSROOM SECTION, WE SAY THEY'RE DEAD FOR THE FIRST FLOOR,
[00:20:02]
HANGERS ARE IN FOR YOUR EXAM, PLEASE LOOK IN HANGERS ROOM FOR YOUR OVERHEAD PLUMBING.YOU SEE YELLOW BOXES HANGING FROM THE CEILING, THAT'S YOUR OVERHEAD LATE AND THEN STRETCHING AND DANCERS THAT WORK SO THEY'RE MAKING GOOD TIME.
THIS IS A NEAT LITTLE SECTION, THIS IS BETWEEN THE TWO STORY CLASSROOM ADDITION IN NORTHEAST CORNER AND THE STORM SHELTER ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS THE FINE ARTS SECTION AND THIS IS THE CAFETERIA.
THIS IS A MASSIVE AREA, IT'S LIKE 30, 35 FOOT LONG.
SO THESE JOYS ARE JUST HUGE, LIKE FIVE FOOT TALL, SIX, EIGHT INCHES THICK.
IF YOU LOOK IN-BETWEEN THE JOIST, YOU'LL SEE A STANDARD 12 INCH JOIST AND IT JUST LOOKS TINY COMPARED TO WHAT THESE THINGS ARE ON A WELL-KNOWN ON-SITE AND FLAMMABLE, THE CRANE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SUSHI AREA.
THIS IS THE AUTO TECH, CULINARY ARTS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLOCK PORTION.
HE SLAPS BOARD AND WALK WALLS AND ON THE ALCOHOL DRILLS MIDDLE SCHOOL.
OF COURSE HERE'S THE MAIN INJURY, YOU SEE THAT'S THE GYM OR EXCUSE ME, THE FINAL ANSWER, IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT, THE FLAGS ARE FLYING, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG NASTIEST PLACE TO LIST CONTINUES.
JUST YOU WALK INTO THE MAIN ENTRY IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT IS YOUR LIBRARY.
YOU SEE THE NICE TILE WORK, [INAUDIBLE] INTO THE RIGHT IS A LIBRARY, INTO THE LEFT IS THE OFFICES.
JUST THE ENTIRE WORK HERE WALL PROTECTION, GREAT WORK, IT'S REALLY NICE, HAS PROBABLY A 25, 32 TOSSINGS HERE.
THIS IS THE LIBRARY ITSELF, YOU SEE THE BOOKS ARE STARTING TO BE IN STOCKING THE SHELVES AND IT'S AN INVITING ENVIRONMENT.
I REALLY LIKE THIS AREA, I LIKE THE LIGHTING, I LIKE THE CARPET.
[INAUDIBLE] THIS IS THE DOWN HALL AREA, YOU CAN SEE A MAIN LOCKER SPECIALLY MADE FOR INSTRUMENTS, THAT GOES THROUGH SOME PANELS AND CARPAL ARCH.
I CAN GO TO THE DANCE MUSIC STREAMING DOWN THE HALL.
THIS IS ONE OF THE HALLWAYS, THEY HAVE ACCIDENT ABOUT EVERY FOUR-YEAR, 50-FOOT.
YOU CAN SEE LITTLE SQUARES AND FIRMNESS.
THIS LEADS BACK FROM THE CAFETORIUM BACK TO MAIN HALLWAY TO THE EXIT.
THAT IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF CAFETORIUM IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT OF THE KITCHEN AREA.
HERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ROAD NOW GROSSLY KITCHEN AREA AND YOU SEE SOME OF THE EARMARKS, WORK UP THEIR INTERESTS, MAKES THINGS APPETIZING.
AND THEN OF COURSE HERE'S OUR CAFFETORY.
THEY'VE ALREADY HAD A FEW EVENTS IN HERE, INCLUDING A PUBLIC EVENT, I THINK A TOWN MEETING.

TRY THE CONCRETE AND AS LOCKERS FLOURISH NAME, NON-STRATEGIC, REAL CLEAN.
IT'S A NON-SPECIFIC. LAST BUT NO LEAST OF COURSE, THE WEIGHT ROOM.
[INAUDIBLE] COMPETENT FOR EACH SHIP ON YOUR WEIGHT ROOM.

HE'S A TRUCK DRIVER AND HE TELLS THESE TWO WAVES COURSE DON'T WORRY, OKAY, NO PROBLEM.
AM AROUND BACK WITH MY MOTHER.
SO I CALL SHANE, I CALL THIS CREW IN AND WE UNLOAD THESE SIX RED GIANT CRATES.
YOU OPEN THEM UP IN THIS CASE LIKE ON A RETROFIT WITH NO DIRECTIONS.
JUST BOWLS AND STEEL BARS EVERYWHERE [LAUGHTER] SCATTER NOW, THERE WAS ONE, WHAT IS THIS? IT WAS SHANE'S IDEA TO HERITAGE AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE EXISTING WEIGHTS JUST SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THEM TOGETHER [LAUGHTER].
SO WE HAD LOCKED-IN GUYS AND THEY'RE ALL BUMPING AROUND,
[00:25:03]
STEALING EACH OTHER'S BULBS AND [INAUDIBLE].>> NEXT TIME THOSE PAPERS SIMPLY.

>> NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WEB PORTAL ENROLLMENT,
[4.B. Report on enrollment and pre-kindergarten through 4th grade class size exceptions]
PRE-KINDERGARTEN TO FOURTH-GRADE CLASS SIZE EXCEPTIONS, MR. RICHARD [INAUDIBLE].YOU'RE A POPULAR FELLOW, AREN'T YOU?
>> THANK YOU. MS. DRAPER BOARD.
TODAY FRENSHIP HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 11,551.
THAT'S THE MOST STUDENTS [INAUDIBLE] SO THAT'S A GOOD THING.
ENROLLMENT CONTINUE TO RISE EVERY DAY.
LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, WE HAD 11,175.
SO THAT'S A 3.36 PERCENT INCREASE.
THE NINTH GRADE CENTER HAD 865.
THE HIGH SCHOOL 10 THROUGH 12 HAD 2436.
SO A CURRENT ENROLLMENT OF 3301 BETWEEN THE TWO CAMPUSES.
THAT'S A 4.13 PERCENT INCREASE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
RACE HAD 111 STUDENTS AND NINE THROUGH 12 TODAY.
SO IN TOTAL, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF 34, 12, 3,412 STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SOME TRENDS THAT WE'RE SEEN THIS YEAR, WE HAVE EIGHT CLASSES WITH MORE THAN 800 STUDENTS.
FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH, NINTH, [NOISE] AND 11TH.
SO LEFT OUT PRE-K, KINDER, AND OUR SENIORS.
THE LARGEST CLASS, ANYBODY WANT TO SPECULATE ON THAT ONE? SECOND GRADE WITH 937 STUDENTS, ON SECOND GRADE.
OUR SMALLEST CLASS IS SENIOR CLASS WITH 687.
ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY, LIKE I JUST SAID, HAVE MORE THAN 800 IN THEM.
THAT'S A 2.4 PERCENT INCREASE FOR OUR ELEMENTARIES.
AGAIN, WE HAVE 11,551 [INAUDIBLE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] HE GAVE US A PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE, SLIP NUMBER OF STUDENTS INCREASE.
>> THIRTY ONE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
>> AND THEN YOU GOT ME I DIDN'T RUN THAT.
>> CHANGES EVERY DAY, BUT IT'S AROUND 400.
>> SO ROUGHLY HALF OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?
THEY'RE SPREAD ACROSS AT 13, 14 GRADES, AND 15 CAMPUSES.
>> WHICH BRINGS UP THE NEED FOR THE NEXT THING THAT'S ON YOUR AGENDA, HOW TO MODEL THIS INFORMATION ON [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE CAN ASK EACH OTHER QUESTIONS.
[00:30:02]
[OVERLAPPING]>> OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS
[4.C. Report on elementary and high school attendance zones]
A REPORT ON ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ZONES.RICHARD, YOU'VE ALREADY LED OFF JUST GO AHEAD AND RIP THE BAND-AID OFF AND GO FOR IT BUDDY.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT LOOKS RIGHT.
THERE WE GO. [NOISE] DO YOU WANT ME TO RUN [INAUDIBLE]
>> HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO GO IN HIS OFFICE AND DO [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING] ON HIS COMPUTER?
>> WHAT BRINGS UP THIS ONE? THE ATTENDED ZONES OR FRIENDSHIP, WE NEED TO MOVE INTO THE PORTION OF THE YEAR WHERE WE START TALKING ABOUT THE ATTENDANT ZONE FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL.
TODAY I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK SYNOPSIS OF A COUPLE OF OPTIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE.
AT THE END OF IT, I'LL SHOW YOU THAT I'M TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO GOING FORWARD.
AGAIN, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS, SO WE'LL GO FORWARD FROM THERE.
THE 9TH ELEMENTARY IS GOING GOING TO OPEN IN AUGUST OF 2024.
AGAIN, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY BOUNDARIES.
THIS IS OUR CURRENT MIDDLE-SCHOOL, SO EACH OF THE COLORS IS A CURRENT MIDDLE-SCHOOL BOUNDARY.
>> BUT YOU HAD A LOT OF PRACTICE.
[LAUGHTER] THAT WILL TAKE US A SECOND.
WE DO A LOT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUFF.
>> IT'S ELEMENTARY MIDDLE SCHOOL. I APOLOGIZE.
[LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] BUT YOU WERE WRONG.
[NOISE] AN OPTION A FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NUMBER 9, YOU CAN SEE THE RED THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
IT STARTS OFF AT OUR WESTERN BOUNDARY.
IT GOES UP MARSHALL SHARP TO RESEARCH, THEN GOES UP RESEARCH ACROSS 66, AND THEN CUTS THROUGH THE PRESTON, THE STATE'S AREA TO NORTH 7TH AND THEN IT GOES BACK TO CROSS TO UPLAND HEART OR UPLAND AVENUE AND THEN SOUTH ON UPLAND TO MARSHA SHARP FREEWAY BACKUP MARSHA SHARP.
THAT WAS [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN IT GOES TO UPLAND.
GOES UP UPLAND TO 34TH AND THEN ACROSS 34TH TO OUR BOUNDARY.
THAT'S THE NEW ELEMENTARY NUMBER 9.
NOT THE OTHER BOUNDARY CHANGES AFFECT OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE BEEN THERE IN IT YOU CAN SEE IS REDUCED IN SIZE UPLAND HEIGHTS IS AFFECTED BY THIS AREA RIGHT HERE THAT IS MOVED TO OAK RIDGE AND THIS QUINCY PARK AREA DOWN HERE THAT HAS MOVED TO OAK RIDGE AS WELL.
NORTHRIDGE IS THIS BROWN, IT'S UNDER THE WORDING HERE.
PARTS OF THAT ON THE EAST SIDE ARE MOVED TO LEGACY.
THEN OF COURSE IT WILL BEND ALONG THAT AS COUGH AT THE BOTTOM.
THE NUMBERS FOR THESE, AS FAR AS THE NUMBERS ON THIS, YOU CAN SEE THE CAPACITY RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL NAME.
THEN GOING OUT TO 2031, 2032 SCHOOL YEAR.
AS OUR DEMOGRAPHERS WILL TELL YOU, THE FURTHER OUT THEY GET FROM THE STUDY, THE LESS ACCURATE THE NUMBERS ARE, BUT THEY'RE PRETTY ACCURATE WITH THE NUMBERS THEY HAVE HERE AS FAR AS WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
YOU CAN SEE IN 2028, 2029, UPLAND HEIGHTS GETS BACK UP TO 1,000.
WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE SOME FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AT THAT TIME.
OPTION B WOULD BRING ELEMENTARY NUMBER 9 INTO THE SMALLER AREA THAT WOULD START ON RESEARCH AND 66 GO EAST ON 66 TO UPLAND, NORTH ON THE UPLAND TO 4TH STREET, GO WEST ON 4TH STREET TO ALCOVE SOUTH ON ALCOVE TO 34TH AND THEN 34TH BACK OVER TO RESEARCH.
THAT WOULD BE ELEMENTARY NUMBER 9.
OF COURSE, IT AFFECTS BENNETT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT UPLAND HEIGHTS REMAINS FAIRLY THE SAME.
THE SAME TWO AREAS FOR OAK RIDGE WOULD BE MOVED FROM UPLAND HEIGHTS TO OAK RIDGE, THE QUINCY PARK AREA AND THIS TRIANGLE HERE.
[00:35:01]
THE WESTWIND AND CRISPY REMAINED THE SAME.LEGACY, THE SAME OPTION FROM THE FIRST OPTION A.
WELL, BAND WOULD COME DOWN AND PICK UP SOME MORE OF THE BENNETT AREA DOWN HERE, SOUTH, AND THEN UPLAND HEIGHTS.
HERE ARE THE NUMBERS FOR THAT.
THE BIG THING ACROSS HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE UP WITH UPLAND HEIGHTS, TAKES UP A LOT QUICKER IN 26, 27 SCHOOL YEAR.
WE WOULD HAVE TO START TALKING VERY QUICKLY ABOUT THAT.
OPTION A, THE CHANGES BENNETT UPLAND HEIGHTS WILL HAVE BEEN LEGACY, NORTHRIDGE, AND OAK RIDGE AND THERE'S NO CHANGES TO WESTWIND OR CREST AND OPTION B, BENNETT AND UPLAND HEIGHTS AND WILLOW BEND WITH CHANGE.
LEGACY, NORTHRIDGE, AND OAK RIDGE WILL BE THE SAME IN BOTH OPTIONS.
AGAIN, CRESTVIEW AND WESTWIND WILL NOT CHANGE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON THESE AT ON OCTOBER 17TH AT 06:00 PM ON WILLOW BEND.
THEN AGAIN ON OCTOBER 18TH AT 06:00 PM AT BENNETT.
HOPEFULLY, I'LL SAY ELEMENTARIES AT THAT TIME.
>> ALSO JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, EACH OF THE MEETINGS WILL BE VIDEOED AND AUDIO RECORDING FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ABLE TO ATTEND, NOT ABLE TO GET TO THAT MEETING AND THERE'LL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.
IT'S JUST IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.
ANYBODY IS WELCOME TO ATTEND BOTH, BUT FEELING THING THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MEETINGS IS JUST MAYBE THE QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK WE GET FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THEN AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT YOU'LL TALK ABOUT, I THINK AT THE END.
>> I'VE NOTICE THAT THE BOTH OF THOSE MEETINGS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST PUBLIC MEETING WE HAD IN THE DISTRICT PUT ON BY OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THAT'S 30 DAYS NOTICE INSTEAD OF TWO.
HOPEFULLY, EVERYBODY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR AND THEY CAN ATTEND.
>> HOPEFULLY, [OVERLAPPING] WILL RECORD IT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO START PUBLICIZING THESE FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER THIS MEETING.
I APPRECIATE IT, SO IT'S NOT [INAUDIBLE].
THE HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ZONES.
AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT OPENING THE SECOND HIGH SCHOOL AUGUST OF 2025.
AGAIN, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY BOUNDARIES.
THIS IS THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE GOES TO THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL.
THE OPTION A, YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE LINE THAT CUTS THROUGH THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, THAT CUTS CROSS HERE COMES DOWN HERE AND ZAGS ACROSS HERE.
THAT WOULD BE THE TWO DIFFERENT ZONES.
FRIENDSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL, HERITAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WOULD GO TO HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 2.
TERRA VISTA WOULD ALSO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 2 OUT OF THIS PART HERE, TERRA VISTA, ALCOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD ALSO GO TO FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS IS BASED ON WHERE YOU LIVE, NOT WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU WENT TO.
THE NUMBERS FOR THIS ONE? I DON'T PAN OUT LIKE THIS.
YOU CAN SEE THEY STAY PRETTY CONSISTENT ALL THE WAY ACROSS AND ARE PRETTY EVEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS.
>> I THINK THE OTHER THING TO NOTE, IT'S HARD TO SEE.
WELL, MAYBE EVERYBODY ELSE CAN SEE BUT I CAN'T SEE IT THAT WELL.
JUST AS A REMINDER, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS [NOISE] INTERNALLY ALL THE TIME THAT WHEN WE OPENED THE SECOND HIGH SCHOOL, WE'RE OPENING [NOISE] HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 2 WITH TWO GRADE LEVELS, 9TH GRADE AND 10TH GRADE.
THAT'S WHY THERE'S A BIG DISPARITY IN THE ENROLLMENT AT THE TWO SCHOOLS BECAUSE FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL AND I'M OVERSIMPLIFYING, BUT LET'S SAY WE HAVE HALF OF THE NINTH GRADERS GO TO THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL AND HALF GO TO FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
HALF 10TH GOES TO HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 2 AND HALF GOES TO FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
ALL OF THE 11TH GRADERS STAY AT FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
ALL OF THE 12TH GRADERS STAY AT FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
THEN WHEN YOU GO TO THE NEXT YEAR, YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE 10 GRADERS HAVE BECOME 11TH GRADERS.
THE 9TH GRADERS BECAME 10TH GRADERS.
THEN YOU GET A NEW CLASS OF 9TH GRADERS COMING UP.
FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO STAY LARGER BECAUSE IT STILL HAS A WHOLE SENIOR CLASS THAT HAS NOT BEEN IMPACTED.
IS IT THE FALL OF 27? YES, FALL OF 27 WOULD BE THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE HAVE FOUR GRADE LEVELS IN BOTH.
THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS WOULD BE OF THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL,
[00:40:03]
WOULD BE THE CLASS OF 2028.IT'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT BUT IT'S EXCITING.
>> WE'RE BACK [INAUDIBLE] WERE JUST SORRY.
>> THAT'S THE NON FAILURE PATTERN.
THE OPTION B WOULD BE A TRUE FEEDER PATTERN WHICH WOULD HAVE TERRA VISTA AND HERITAGE GO TO THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
[INAUDIBLE] AND FRIENDSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD GO TO FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
IF YOU USE THE FEEDER PATTERN OF THE TWO SCHOOLS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BOTTOM LINE GOES RIGHT NEXT TO WHAT THE CURRENT MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOLLOW.
>> THAT'S UPLAND HERE ACROSS 82ND OF [INAUDIBLE] SHARP OF UPLAND.
I BELIEVE THAT IS 34TH, AND THEN ALCOVE AND THEN ACROSS FOUR STREET AND THEN UP THAT'S ALCOVE.
THIS IS ALCOVE. [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] SHE'S GIGGLING AS SHE [OVERLAPPING].
THE PROJECTIONS FOR THE OPTION B WAS A FEEDER PATTERNS.
YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, WE START WITH 9 TO THE 10TH GRADE.
NEXT YEAR IN 25, 26 AND THEN WE ADD A GRADE IN 26, 27, AND THEN A FINAL GRADE IN 27, 28.
YOU CAN SEE THEY, AGAIN ARE PRETTY EVEN ACROSS THE BOARD ON BOTH OF THOSE.
IN OPTIONS A, TERRA VISTA, HERITAGE, AND FRIENDSHIP MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE SPLIT.
THIS IS THE NON FEEDER PATTERN.
OPTION B, IT'S A TRUE FEEDER PATTERN, TERRA VISTA AND HERITAGE GO TO HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER TWO, FMS AND TVMS WOULD ATTEND FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE'S NO SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS ON OPTION B.
WE PLAN ON HAVING FOUR COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON THESE, AND WE'LL PUBLICIZE THOSE PLENTY IN ADVANCE ON OCTOBER THE 23RD, 24TH, 25TH, 26TH, IT'S A BUSY WEEKEND.
THE REASON FOR GOING TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NOT THE HIGH SCHOOL, IS BECAUSE THE KIDS WHO WILL BE IMPACTED, [OVERLAPPING] ARE CURRENTLY 7TH GRADERS AND 8TH GRADERS.
IN THE FALL OF 25, THOSE 7TH GRADERS AND 8TH GRADERS WILL BE 9TH GRADERS AND 10TH GRADERS.
AGAIN, 11TH AND 12TH GRADERS WON'T BE IMPACTED.
WE THOUGHT ABOUT HAVING A MEETING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THEN THEIR CHILDREN ARE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
>> THESE WILL BE RECORDED AND POSTED ON WEBSITES AS WELL.
IN NOVEMBER, WE'LL BRING BACK TO THE BOARD REPORTS FROM PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THOSE MEETINGS.
IN DECEMBER, WE'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDED PROPOSED ATTENDANCE ZONE FOR A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR THE BOARD.
IN JANUARY, THE BOARD WOULD GET TO VOTE ON A PROPOSED ATTENDANCE ZONE.
THEN IN THE SPRING WE'LL CREATE GRANDFATHERING GUIDELINES IF THERE ARE ANY.
THEN THAT WILL BE CONTACT INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THEM.
THEY CAN CONTACT ME AND THEN THE FRIENDSHIPBOUNDARIES@FRIENDSHIP.US WILL BE THE EMAIL THAT THEY CAN USE AS WE DID WITH THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS.
ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS THE INFORMATION [INAUDIBLE].
>> APPRECIATE YOU VOLUNTEERING TO HANDLE THIS TASK.
>> I'D TAKE ANY VOLUNTEERS [LAUGHTER].
>> I WAS TRYING TO THINK THAT I CAME TO FRIENDSHIP IN THE FALL OF 2010.
WE'VE OPENED HERITAGE, THE 9TH GRADE CENTER, LEGACY, UPLAND HEIGHTS, AND ALCOVE TRAILS.
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED OPENING ELEMENTARIES AND MIDDLES.
WHEN HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 2 OPENS, IT WILL HAVE A NAME.
BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BE 90 YEARS OLD WHEN WE OPEN.
IT'S BEEN AN EXCITING TIME AND EXCITED ABOUT THE GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY THAT GOES WITH IT.
AS WE LOOK AT THESE BOUNDARIES AND UNDERSTAND THAT THESE AREN'T JUST STREETS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES AND TRADITIONS AND ROUTINES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING MANY MEETINGS.
I THINK THE BOARD HAS HAD WISDOM FOR THAT AND FOR MANY YEARS
[00:45:04]
THAT WHEN YOU SEE THE TIMELINE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHEN IT'S GUIDED BY POLICY SO THAT YOU'RE OVER A YEAR.AND IF AS STAFF MEMBER HAS CHANGE, THAT, THAT INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY IS NOT LOST.
THAT WE ARE SURE TO INCLUDE OUR STAKEHOLDERS, AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INPUT.
THANK YOU ALL. WHEN I CAME HERE, THAT POLICY WAS ALREADY IN PLACE. GOOD JOB.
>> IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, ONE OF THE FIRST TASK YOU GOT TO PUT ON YOUR PLATE, BY DR. BRUNDTLAND WAS TO COME UP WITH BOUNDARIES.
I COULD BARELY FOUND MY WAY TO WORK AND [LAUGHTER] I WAS NEW HERE.
BUT IT'S A VERY DETAILED PROCESS AND ALSO APPRECIATE RICHARDS HARD WORK, FARLEY'S AND THE BOARD ALLOWING US THE RESOURCES TO USE A DEMOGRAPHER TO HELP US MAKE THESE DECISIONS.
BECAUSE IT'S A VERY INTRICATE PROCESS THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF RESEARCH AND WORK AND SKILL.
THAT IS AN EXPENSIVE ENDEAVOR, BUT ALSO WE'VE USED IT AND WE'VE USED THE DEMOGRAPHERS TO HELP US DEVELOP BOUNDARIES SINCE 2009.
THAT WAS BEFORE I CAME. BUT IT IS UNCANNY HOW IF YOU LOOK BACK TO 2009 AND IT PROJECTED OUT TO 2019, AND HOW REMARKABLY CLOSE THEY WERE ON THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT NUMBERS.
NOW THEY MIGHT MISS IT BY A GRADE, IN THE GRADE LEVELS OR SOMETHING, BUT THE OVERALL NUMBER, THEY MIGHT MISS IT BY 50 OR 60 KIDS, 10 YEARS OUT.
>> I'VE HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE OF BEING ABLE TO SET OPERATORS INTO PEOPLE THROUGH 19 YEARS.
THE THING THAT EVERY BOARD THAT I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF AT FRIENDSHIP IN BOARDS PRIOR TO ME WHEN I SIT OUT IN THE AUDIENCE AND WATCH THINGS TAKE PLACE, I'VE DONE THAT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE GETTING TASKED WITH THIS POSITION.
THE THING THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY NICE ABOUT THE DISTRICT AND ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY IS THAT THE BOARD HAS ALWAYS OPERATED, TRANSPARENT.
THE DISTRICT HAS ALWAYS OPERATED IN TRANSPARENT.
THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SERIOUS ABOUT LISTENING TO THEIR STAKEHOLDERS AND LET THEIR STAKEHOLDERS GIVE INPUT BEFORE THEY TOOK ACTION ON THINGS.
I THINK THAT IS A CULTURE THAT HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED OUT HERE.
BEING A DISTRICT THAT BRIDGES TWO MUNICIPALITIES AND TWO COUNTIES.
>> WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO BE TRANSPARENT AND BE ABLE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP.
ENTERTAIN TWO COUNCILS, TWO MAYORS, TWO SETS OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, TWO SETS OF COUNTY JUDGES.
THAT'S JUST THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ALWAYS TOOK PLACE AT HERE.
I WANT [NOISE] TO ENCOURAGE THIS BOARD AS I KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO SO IN THIS ADMINISTRATION AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
WHEN YOU START REARRANGING BOUNDARIES, IT CAN GET EMOTIONAL.
PEOPLE CAN GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT.
I THINK WE ALL JUST NEED TO KEEP OUR HEADS AND LISTEN TO WHAT OUR STAKEHOLDERS HAVE TO SAY, AND TAKE THAT INPUT AND COME TOGETHER AS A COLLECTIVE BODY AND MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR EVERYBODY AS A WHOLE.
LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT AS ALWAYS.
>> THE STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY ARE POSED WITH.
YOU CAN HAVE A MEETING, BUT IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE IT IN.
OUR STAFF WILL DO THEIR BEST TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
>> CALL THEM ELEMENTARIES, MIDDLES [LAUGHTER] NO, JUST KIDDING.
IT WILL BE GOOD. IF WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER WE'LL FIND OUT.
>> WELL, THAT WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
