I'M GLAD TO BE BACK AGAIN, HONORING ANOTHER AMAZING GROUP OF STUDENTS.
AS TIFFANY JUST TOLD YOU, THIS AWARD IS GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO ARE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO PERFORMED EXTRAORDINARILY WELL ON THE PSAT.
WE GIVE THE PSAT EVERY GRADE FROM EIGHTH THROUGH 11TH IN THEIR 11TH GRADE YEAR, THAT'S WHEN IT COUNT.
WELL, IT IS WHEN IT COUNTS. IT'S CALLED THE NMSQT.
THE NATIONAL MERIT QUALIFYING TEST, AND THESE STUDENTS PERFORMED IN THE TOP 10% AMONGST THEIR COHORTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
NOT ONLY THAT, THEY ALSO HAD TO MAINTAIN A HIGH GPA.
THEY WERE SENT AN EMAIL FROM THE COLLEGE BOARD SAYING, HEY, YOU DID REALLY GOOD.
ARE YOU ALSO DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL AND THEY APPLIED FOR THIS AWARD AND THEY WERE AWARDED IT.
SO THERE WERE 15 STUDENTS AT FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL THAT WERE GIVEN THIS AWARD, AND I'VE GOT EIGHT OF THEM HERE TONIGHT THAT I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE.
SO I'M GOING TO SAY ALL'S NAME AND WHEN I DO PLEASE TAKE A STEP FORWARD.
ERIC SMITH, ZACHARY DAVIDSON, RILEY SMITH, GERIA DOMINGUEZ, ANGEL ASTORGA, COLE DALTON, BRANDON LUCERO, AND KEITH GRIFFIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH [APPLAUSE]

THIS IS A VERY [OVERLAPPING] GREAT DEAL. VERY BIG DEAL.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT YOUR TRANSCRIPT AS WELL.
YOU'RE GREAT, SO THAT'S FANTASTIC.

>> THEN PARENTS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO IN THE BACK, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO? NEXT GROUP THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE.
[1.H.2. College Board National Merit Commended Scholars]
WE HAVE THREE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO ARE NAMED NATIONAL MERIT COMMENDED STUDENTS.MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION JUNIORS AND ABOUT 21,000 HIGH SCHOOLS ENTERED THE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM BY TAKING THE TEST THAT MR. COPLAND TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
OF THOSE, ONLY ABOUT THAN OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS WERE DESIGNATED AS COMMENDED STUDENTS.
SO I'LL HAVE NICHOLAS COPELAND JOIN US AGAIN TO HELP RECOGNIZE YOU STUDENTS.
>> THANK YOU AGAIN. DR. MCCORD, BOARD MEMBERS.
IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND HONOR THESE THREE STUDENTS.
THE REASON WE GIVE THAT 8, 9, 10, 11 GRADE IS WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DO REALLY WELL ON THE MSQT TEST. IT DOES SEVERAL THINGS.
ONE THAT PREPARES THEM FOR THE SAT, WHICH IS A TEST TO GET INTO COLLEGE, BUT IT'S A GREAT SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY.
THAT'S WHAT THAT TEST HAS DONE FOR THESE THREE STUDENTS.
SO WHEN THEY TOOK THE TEST, THEY ENTERED INTO THIS COMPETITION NATIONWIDE, AND LIKE TIFFANY SAID, ALMOST TWO MILLION STUDENTS WERE IN THIS THING AND WE LOOKED AT THE TOP 34,000.
I DID THE MATH EARLIER, THAT'S ABOUT THE TOP 1.5%.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LITERAL CREAM OF THE CROP BEHIND ME HERE NATIONWIDE, WHICH IS PRETTY FANTASTIC.
WHEN I SAY ALL NAMES, PLEASE TAKE A STEP FORWARD.
WE HAVE BRILEY AUTRY, ASHLEY GRIFFIN AND LAUREN GRIFFIN. LET'S [INAUDIBLE] [APPLAUSE].
>> [BACKGROUND] CAN YOU SMILE FOR YOUR PARENTS. [BACKGROUND].
>> WAS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE OR THESE WERE THE THREE?
>> THESE WERE THE THREE. THESE WERE ALL THREE OF OUR [OVERLAPPING].
[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] THAT'S ALL I REPRESENT.
[LAUGHTER]. YES CONGRATULATION, I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU ALL. THAT WRAPS UP OUR RECOGNITIONS FOR TONIGHT.
>> [BACKGROUND] WE ARE NOW OPENING THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING FOR
[1.I.1. Conduct a public hearing for the district's rating on the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas ("FIRST")]
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS REPORT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE FIRST REPORT.DIRECTOR OF FINANCE HUNTER LOCASCIO, HAS PREPARED A PRESENTATION. LOCASCIO.
>> THANK YOU, MR. MILLER, BOARD.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST REPORT TO YOU TONIGHT.
I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS REPORT.
BARLEY REEVES DID PREPARE THIS REPORT.
I'M JUST HERE AS THE MESSENGER.
[00:10:01]
LUCKILY, I HAVE SOME GOOD THINGS TO REPORT, AND LUCKILY, I DO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I DO ABOUT PAGES.WITH THAT. WHAT IS THE FIRST RATING? IT IS THE FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS.
IT'S OVERS FINANCIAL INTEGRITY.
IT'S PRODUCED BY AN INDICATOR SYSTEM BY THE TEA, WHICH MEASURES A SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL PRACTICES.
IT'S MEANT TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY TO OUR TAXPAYERS, YOU ALL, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW THE DISTRICT IS OPERATING FINANCIALLY.
THIS YEAR'S FIRST REPORT, IT'S THE 24/25 REPORT.
HOWEVER, IT IS BASED ON THE 23/24 AUDITED FINANCIAL DATA, SO IT WORKS A YEAR BEHIND.
THIS YEAR, WE GET THIS COURSE BASED ON LAST YEAR'S.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH OUR 24/25 AUDIT RIGHT NOW.
THEY WERE IN HOUSE LAST WEEK, SO WE'RE JUST WRAPPING UP A FEW THINGS FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR.
WE ARE EVALUATED ON 21 INDICATORS.
THE FIRST FIVE BEING YES, NO RESPONSES, AND THEN NUMBER SIX THROUGH 21, THAT IS A SCORING MECHANISM AND IT IS OUT OF 100 POINTS THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY EARN.
WE ALSO HAVE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REPORT AND ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE EARNED 90% FOR 24/25, AND I'LL GO INTO THESE INDICATORS TO SEE HOW WE SCORED ON THAT.
IT'S BROKEN UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
THE FIRST BEING THOSE CRITICAL INDICATORS, WHICH ARE OVERARCHING TOPICS.
THEY ARE CALLED CRITICAL INDICATORS, BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOT ANSWER YES ON THE FIRST FIVE INDICATORS, YOU AUTOMATICALLY FAIL.
YOU CANNOT GET A PASSING SCORE.
AND SO WE DID THANKFULLY GET ALL THOSE, BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.
THE NEXT PORTION IS FINANCIAL SOLVENCY.
THIS IS WHERE WE DERIVE OUR POINTS OVER SPECIFIC INDICATORS.
AND THEN THE LAST PART IS FINANCIAL COMPETENCY, WHICH EVALUATES OUR PRACTICES USED TO MANAGE OUR FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
SO THE FIVE CRITICAL INDICATORS, WHICH YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE ALL PASSED.
THE FIRST IS A TIMELY SUBMISSION, THAT IS THE SUBMISSION OF OUR ANNUAL AUDIT THAT WAS SUBMITTED TIMELY BACK IN JANUARY.
OUR AUDIT DID CONTAIN UNMODIFIED OPINION, SO WE PASSED NUMBER 2.
NUMBER 3, COMPLIANCE WITH OUR DEBTORS THAT INCLUDES ANY BOND DEBT THAT WE OWE AS WELL AS LOCAL VENDORS AS WELL.
WE MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT.
NUMBER 4 PAYMENTS TO TRS OR THE TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM, SERENA AND HER TEAM DO A GREAT JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT.
THEN LASTLY, NUMBER 5, AN UNRESTRICTED NET POSITION GREATER THAN ZERO, WE PASSED THAT ONE AS WELL.
NEXT, WE GET INTO FINANCIAL SOLVENCY.
INDICATOR NUMBER 6, WAS THE AVERAGE CHANGE IN ASSIGNED AND UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCES OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, LESS THAN A 25% DECREASE AND OUR FUND BALANCES EXCEED 75 DAYS OF OPERATIONAL EXPENDITURES.
WE PASSED THAT PRETTY EASILY BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ADDING TO OUR FUND BALANCE REGULARLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
WE HAVE MORE THAN 75 OPERATIONAL DAYS, WHICH LEADS US TO INDICATOR NUMBER 7.
WAS THE NUMBER OF DAYS OF CASH ON HAND AND CURRENT INVESTMENTS IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SUFFICIENT TO COVER OPERATING EXPENDITURES, WE CAME OUT TO 205 DAYS BASED ON 23/24.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY AN INCREASE FROM THE LAST YEAR.
WE HAD 192 DAYS LAST YEAR, WE'RE UP TO 205 THIS YEAR.
INDICATOR NUMBER 8, WAS THE MEASURE OF CURRENT ASSETS TO CURRENT LIABILITIES RATIO FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS SUFFICIENT TO COVER SHORT TERM DEBT.
WE DID PASS THAT ONE WITH A 2.1382 TO ONE RATIO FOR THAT.
NUMBER 9, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S GENERAL FUND REVENUES EQUAL OR EXCEED EXPENDITURES? WE DID EXCEED REVENUES AND OVER EXPENDITURES THIS YEAR.
AND THEN NUMBER 10, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AVERAGE LESS THAN A 10% VARIANCE WHEN COMPARING BUDGETED REVENUES TO ACTUAL REVENUES FOR THE LAST THREE FISCAL YEARS? THIS INDICATOR ACTUALLY WAS NOT SCORED FOR THIS YEAR, BUT WE WOULD HAVE PASSED IT.
[LAUGHTER] CONTINUING ON FINANCIAL SOLVENCY, NUMBER 11.
WAS THE RATIO OF LONG TERM LIABILITIES TO TOTAL ASSETS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT LONG TERM SOLVENCY.
WE PASSED THAT AS OUR PROPERTY VALUES CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN OUR ENROLLMENT, WE CONTINUE TO PASS THIS ONE.
NUMBER 12, WHAT IS THE CORRELATION BETWEEN FUTURE DEBT REQUIREMENTS AND THE DISTRICT'S ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUE AGAIN? VALUES HAVE BEEN GOING UP. WE'VE BEEN MAINTAINING THAT.
WE PASSED WITH A RATIO OF 6.95509.
THIRTEEN, WAS THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST RATIO EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE EXPECTED THRESHOLD. WE PASSED THAT.
OUR RATIO FOR THIS YEAR WAS 0.1125.
NUMBER 14, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT HAVE A 15% DECLINE IN THE STUDENTS TO STAFF RATIO OVER THREE YEARS? WE AUTOMATICALLY PASSED THIS BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN [INAUDIBLE].
[00:15:01]
>> GOING ON INTO THE FINANCIAL COMPETENCE INDICATORS, THIS FOCUSES A LOT ON OUR AUDIT AND OTHER PORTIONS OF OUR FINANCIAL DATA.
WAS THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ADA WITHIN ALLOTTED RANGE OF THE DISTRICT'S BIANNUAL PUPIL PROJECTIONS? WE PASSED THIS. IT FELL WITHIN THE ALLOTTED RANGE.
WITH OUR CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES, WE ALWAYS STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT THE BIANNUAL PUPIL PROJECTIONS ARE.
NUMBER 16, DID THE COMPARISON OF THE PINS DATA TO LIKE INFORMATION IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AFR, WHICH IS OUR AUDIT, RESULT IN A TOTAL VARIANCE OF LESS THAN 3% OF ALL EXPENDITURES BY FUNCTION? WE PASSED THIS. WE WERE OFF BY $3,382 WHEN COMPARED TO OVER $113 MILLION.
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING THAT COMES OUT TO A PERCENT OF 0.003, SO WE ARE WELL BELOW THE 3%.
THAT REALLY JUST COMES OUT TO ROUNDING AND WHEN YOU HAVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ACCOUNT CODES AND YOU'RE IMPORTING IT INTO A STATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ROUNDING ERRORS.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT IT COMES OUT TO THERE.
DID THE EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT AUDITOR REPORT THAT THE AFR WAS FREE OF ANY INSTANCES OF MATERIAL WEAKNESSES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, AND COMPLIANCE FOR LOCAL STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDS AND FREE FROM SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN? WE ARE FREE OF MATERIAL WEAKNESSES, AND WE DO HAVE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN PLACE.
GIVEN OUR FINANCIAL POSITION, THERE IS NOT A DOUBT ABOUT OUR GOING CONCERN.
NUMBER 18, DID THE EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT AUDITOR INDICATE THAT AFR WAS FREE OF ANY INSTANCES OF MATERIAL NON-COMPLIANCE FOR GRANTS, CONTRACTS, AND LAWS RELATED TO LOCAL STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDS? WE PASSED AND WE WERE DEEMED FREE OF MATERIAL NON-COMPLIANCE.
NUMBER 19, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT POST THE REQUIRED FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT CODE, LOCAL CODE, AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO ADHERE TO THAT WERE IN EFFECT BY THE DISTRICT'S FISCAL YEAR END? WE PASSED THAT. ALL OF THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WAS LOCATED ON THE FRENSHIP ISD WEBSITE.
NUMBER 20, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ADMINISTRATION AND SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS DISCUSS ANY CHANGES AND OR IMPACT TO LOCAL STATE FEDERAL FUNDING AT A BOARD MEETING WITHIN 120 DAYS BEFORE THE DISTRICT ADOPTED ITS BUDGET? WE PASSED THIS. AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, WE HAVE A WORKSHOP EVERY SUMMER TO GO OVER THESE POTENTIAL CHANGES IN OUR LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING.
LASTLY, NUMBER 21, DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVE AN ADJUSTED REPAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR MORE THAN ONE FISCAL YEAR ADJUSTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE? WE PASSED THAT ONE. IT ALL COMES OUT TO, WE PASSED THE FIVE CRITICAL INDICATORS.
WE RECEIVED A 90 OUT OF 100 POSSIBLE POINTS ON INDICATOR 6-21 GIVING THE DISTRICT'S 22ND CONSECUTIVE SUPERIOR RATING ON THE FIRST REPORT.
IN ADDITION TO THE FIRST RATING, THERE'S THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY MANAGEMENT REPORT.
IT DETAILS MORE OF WHAT THIS REPORT CONTAINED, INCLUDING A LINK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S CONTRACT, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD NONE TO REPORT ON THE SUMMARY SCHEDULES OF COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES FOR THE BOARD, AS WELL AS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
WRAPS THAT UP, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL HAVE.
>> HARLEY, ANY QUESTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK?
>> I KNOW HARLEY USUALLY TAKES THE TIME TO BRAG ON US, BUT I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO BRAG ON HIM.
IT STARTS AT THE TOP, AND HE LEADS US VERY WELL, SO I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE.
>> WE HAVE NOBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, SO THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
>> I JUST WANT TO BRAG ON HUNTER.
HARLEY DIDN'T MIND THE SHARING, BUT THEY HAD A DEATH IN THE FAMILY, MICHELLE, HIS WIFE'S MOTHER PASSED AWAY.
I TEXTED HUNTER AND CREW AND SAID HUNTER, I NEED YOU TO MAKE THIS PRESENTATION TOMORROW, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO HIS WIFE FOR IN THE ERA, BUT HE TOLD ME NO PROBLEM.
[LAUGHTER] I WILL GET IT DONE, I THINK IT'S THAT, OR IT'S MY PLEASURE OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB. GOOD JOB. YES.
[2.A. Consent Agenda]
NEXT IS OUR ROUTINE DISTRICT OPERATIONS, OUR CONSENT AGENDA.WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. KARL RADNER FOR SECOND.

FROM THE NEW NORTH ELEMENTARY PROJECT. MR. NERO.>> THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. [NOISE] THE BOARD.
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU THE CONSTRUCTION DOCKS TO THE NORTH OF NEW NORTH ELEMENTARY, THAT WILL LOOK VERY FAMILIAR.
WE HAVE DONE QUITE A FEW OF THESE IN RECENT YEARS.
I WANT TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS WITH D SO WHERE A IT'S ABOUT 150,000 SQUARE FEET.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN, HOSE PARKING LOTS, PLAYGROUNDS, EVERYTHING WITHIN THE FACILITY AIR FLOOR PLAN.
THIS IS ACTUALLY SHOWING THE KINDERGARTEN LANE WHICH DOUBLES AS OF THE IVC STORM SHELTER.
THAT WOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE AT RIDGEWOOD EVE.
WE ASSUME YOU BLOCK BUILD WITH BRICK AND NEAR FINISH.
THEN THIS IS THE CODE REVIEW THAT GOES THROUGH WITH THE CITY OF LOVE DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS, AND THIS IS A FEW OF THIS ACTUALLY THE SOUND POUNDS WILL BE USED WITHIN THE STORM SHELTER.
>> WHAT'S THE TIMING OF THIS ONE?

THANK YOU, MR. COBB. WE NEED TO STAY OUT THERE? FOR JUST A SPLIT SECOND.
THEN I'LL INTRODUCED THE REAL PLAYERS IN THIS RENOVATION.
WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR, AND THEN I'LL INTRODUCE HER LET HER GO.
[2.B.2. Consideration of schematic design documents for the renovations of Frenship High School]
SCHEMATIC DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR THE RENOVATIONS OF FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.>> THANK YOU, MR. MILLER BOARD.
THIS IS TERESA WICK CORT ARCHITECTS.
I HOPE THIS REALLY EXCITES YOU.
THIS IS A REALLY COOL PROJECT FOR US.
THEY'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB ON THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE OF THIS RENOVATION.
I FURTHER DO I THE FLOOR, LET HER GIVE HER A PRESENTATION.
>> MR. COBB HAS DARED ME TO TRY TO BEAT HIS TIME FRAME FOR THAT LAST PRESENTATION.
[LAUGHTER] PROBLEM IS I GOT 120 SLATS, BUT I'M EXCITED.
I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS.
THIS IS A VERY EXCITING PROJECT BECAUSE YOU'RE AT SUCH A GREAT POINT IN YOUR DISTRICT RIGHT NOW.
YOU'VE GOT THE EXCITEMENT AND THE ENERGY OF A BRAND NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
HOW DO YOU RECREATE THAT IN A BUILDING THAT'S A GOOD 40, 50-YEARS-OLD? THIS IS WHERE I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF ISSUES.
MORE THAN I LOVE NEW BUILDINGS.
HOPEFULLY, YOU GUYS ARE AS EXCITED AS WE ARE, WE'RE JUST BLESSED TO BE PART OF THIS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH IT, AND WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU BOTH WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND WHAT WE'VE GOT THE CHALLENGES TO DO AND AS WELL AS WHAT OUR CONCEPTS ARE TO HOPEFULLY BRING THAT ENERGY INTO YOUR FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL AND BRING SOME TIGER ENERGY BACK.
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE DONE TO DATE.
WE HAVE TAKEN YOUR MAINTENANCE TEAM FOR STARTERS HAS A PHENOMENAL JUST BACKLOG OF ALL THE DRAWINGS.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY DISTRICTS BARELY HAD ANYTHING.
YOU GUYS HAVE SO MANY DRAWINGS IN THE RENOVATION.
WE HAVE SCANNED OVER 373 PLANS.
WE SPENT NINE DAYS WALKING YOUR BUILDING AND DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING.
THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 12 NOT APPROXIMATELY, THERE WAS 12 ADDITIONS THAT YOU GUYS DID IN OVER 22 LOCATIONS.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE WERE A LOT OF DOCUMENTS, A LOT OF INFORMATION TO DIGEST, AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE STARTED COME JUNE.
FROM THERE, WHAT WE DID IS, THERE'S A TECHNOLOGY CALLED MATTERPORT.
BASICALLY, WHAT IT IS, IS IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN IPOD SITTING ON A TRIPOD, AND IT SCANS 360 DEGREES OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ROOM.
WE WALKED EVERY ROOM IN FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL,
[00:25:02]
THE EXTERIOR, THE HALLWAYS, SOME DOORS THAT WENT TO NOWHERE WE FOUND, BUT IT WAS AT THE END OF IT, I THINK SOME OF MY INTERNS MAY NOT LIKE ME, BUT THAT'S OKAY.IT'S A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
AND WE GOT TO REALLY INDULGE INTO WHAT IT IS TO BE FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
OUR NEXT STEP WAS WE BUILT THE BM MODEL, JUST THE BUILDING MODEL THAT WE'RE USING BM IS A THREE DIMENSIONAL MODEL AS YOU CAN SEE THERE AND SO WE'RE RECREATING YOUR SCHOOL.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE, AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS PART PRETTY FAST BECAUSE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SIDES.
THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT HOLISTICALLY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE ARE 600 SQUARE FEET IN THE SCHOOL, AND WE'RE TOUCHING PROBABLY 550 OF IT.
WE'RE TOUCHING A GOOD 95% OF THIS BUILDING.
A LOT OF IT IS REPETITIVE AND A LOT OF IT IS FINISHES, THE STUFF THAT EVERYBODY SEES, BUT THAT'S THE STUFF THAT INVOKES IT, AND IT'S ALSO THE ENERGY THAT YOU NEED.
EVERYBODY NEEDS NEW CARPET, NEW PAINT TO BRING THAT EXCITEMENT.
I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY FAST.
ON YOUR EXTERIOR, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT IS PAINTING THE STUCCO, ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF FRESH COLOR TO IT.
NEW DIRECTIONAL SIGNS, EXTERIOR CANOPY OVER ON THE SOUTH WHERE THE BUS DROP OFF LINE IS, AND THEN JUST CREATING A WHOLE PLAZA WAITING AREA FOR YOUR STUDENTS AT THE BUS DROP OFF LINE.
AS WELL AS WE'RE ALSO TAKING THE BAND MARCHING FIELD, TAKING UP THE TURF, AND THEN WE'RE PUTTING CONCRETE DOWN WHERE THE EXISTING MARCHING FIELD IS.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THAT ONE.
DO IMPORTANT. ARE THEY? [LAUGHTER].
>> BUT THEY ARE TO THE BASE. YES.
>> IN THE CLASSROOMS, WE'RE GOING TO BE REPLACING THE FLOOR, THE CEILING, ADDING NEW TILE, ALL LED LIGHTS, WALL FINISHES, MARKER BOARDS, AND THEN ALL YOUR EXISTING POWER AND DATA WILL REMAIN.
THE INTENT WITH THE CLASSROOMS IS BASICALLY BRIG AS MUCH AS TO MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU'VE GOT EQUITY BETWEEN YOUR TWO HIGH SCHOOLS.
CORRIDORS ARE WHERE I THINK THE REAL LIFE IS GOING TO COME INTO PLAY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING NEW WALL FINISHES, NEW CEILING, ALL LED LIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAMPUSES, REMOVING THE LOCKERS, REPLACING ALL THE DOORS, THE HARDWARE, THE FLOORS, EVERYTHING.
THE YEARBOOK, YOU GUYS HAVE SO MANY YEARS OF SENIORS.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS CREATING A NEW WAY TO BRING ALL OF THE HISTORY WITHIN THE SCHOOL INTO A NEW FASHION.
RESTROOMS, COMPLETE FACE LIFT, NEW TILE THROUGHOUT WALLS, FLOORS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING THE SINKS AND DOING INDIVIDUAL SINKS AND CARRIERS, ALL NEW TOILET PARTITIONS, ALL NEW FIXTURES, TOILETS, SINKS, YOU NAME IT, EVERYTHING'S BRAND NEW.
THE TIGER PIT. THE BIGGEST THING WE'RE DOING HERE IS REALLY A LITTLE BIT OF FACE LIFT, PAINT THROUGH OUT, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A NEW FLOORING MATERIAL ON THE TOP CONCRETE PORTION RIGHT THERE, AS WELL AS ADDING AUTOMATIC JUST MOVABLE GOALS ON THE VERY ENDS WITH ELECTRIC.
LED LIGHTS. L ED LIGHTS, THAT'S JUST THROUGHOUT.
PRACTICE, JIM, AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE FRESH PAINT, LED LIGHTS.
YES. THE MASCOT WILL BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS, YES.
YOUR PE GYM, SAME THING, LED LIGHTS, PAINT, CEILING PANELS, THE FLOORINGS TO REMAIN AND ACOUSTICS WILL BE ASSESSED.
THE BIG THING HERE IS JUST BRINGING IT UP TO CODE COMPLIANCE.
A LOT OF THEM DON'T MEET ADA, AND THEN WHAT WE'RE REALLY GOING TO TRY TO DO, THERE WAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT SHOWERS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT PHASES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU'VE GOT SOME GROUP REST ROOMS THAT YOU RE SHOWERS THAT YOU DON'T REALLY SEE ANYMORE.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TRYING TO DO INDIVIDUAL STALLS JUST LIKE MEMORIAL HAS.
OTHER SCOPE WILL BE THE AG AND THE AUTOMOTIVE.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TOUCHING THE CLASSROOMS AND THE REST ROOMS JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE BUILDING.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE REALLY DOING MUCH AS FAR AS THE WELDING LABS, AS FAR AS PAINT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE WILL BE DOING LED LIGHTS THROUGHOUT.
LOCKER ROOMS WILL GET A WHOLE NEW REFRESH, NEW LOCKERS THROUGHOUT CARPET FLOORING, LED, AS WELL AS THE WEIGHT ROOM, AND THEN THE BLACK BOX, WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE BLACK BOX AS FAR AS HOW TO DO THAT IN A VERY ECONOMICAL METHOD.
>> O LINGO HERE. THEATER. YES. NOW IT'S A BLACK BOX.
>> THERE ARE AREAS THAT WE ARE NOT TOUCHING, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE NEWEST ESPECIALLY THE COLON AREA, THAT'S SUCH A GREAT SPACE.
THE AREAS THAT ARE FRESH ALREADY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING.
WE ARE JUST ASSESSING SOME LED LIGHTS, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS BEING BROUGHT UP TO THAT REGARD.
I HOPE THAT GETS YOU GUYS EXCITED.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THREE MAIN AREAS THAT WILL BE JUST REPEATED THROUGHOUT.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EVERYTHING, BUT THEY WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT TEXAS ARE DOING.
[00:30:04]
EVEN ON THIS SLIDE, WE'VE GOT WEST PLAINS CANYONS, NEW HIGH SCHOOL IN HERE, WE'VE GOT EMERALOS, AMTECH CENTER.THIS IS REALLY WHAT HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THEY'RE JUST VIBRANT. THEY'RE EXCITING.
IT'S JUST ENGAGING THE STUDENTS.
IT'S NO LONGER, I CAN SAY THIS WITH CONFIDENCE FOR MYSELF.
IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL THAT I WENT TO SCHOOL, BUT IT'S JUST REALLY ENGAGING AND EXCITING FOR STUDENTS.
THAT'S THE ENERGY THAT WE'RE HOPING TO RECREATE HERE.
RIGHT HERE, THERE'S THREE AREAS THAT I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU.
HERE'S OUR CONCEPTS. HERE'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO ACHIEVE WITH YOUR BLESSING, OF COURSE.
ON THE LEFT IS GOING TO BE THE EXISTING AND ON THE RIGHT IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF YOUR CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL.
WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO IS SOME ACOUSTICAL PANELS GOING UP THE WALLS AND OVER WITH LIGHTS INSIDE THE ACOUSTICAL PANELS, ALL NEW WALL SURFACES, AND THEN CHANGING OUT THE TIGER IN THE FLOOR.
>> A LITTLE MORE DETAIL, THIS SHOWS YOU EVEN JUST RIGHT PAST THAT MAIN WALL, YOU CAN SEE HOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A YEAR BOOK INTERACTIVE WALL AND I'LL GET TO A SLIDE TO SHOW THAT IN JUST A SECOND, BUT THIS IS JUST YOUR FRONT ENTRANCE WITH ALL NEW WALL COVERINGS, CEILING, LIGHT FIXTURES, JUST YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF WHEN YOU WALK INTO FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS WOULD BE THE VIEW LOOKING DOWN FROM UP ABOVE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE CEILING WRAPS UP AND OVER AND INCORPORATES THE LIGHTS EVEN INTO THE VESTIBULE, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THAT FROM UPSTAIRS.
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE STARTED DOING THIS AS WELL BECAUSE AS YOU CAN TELL, OBVIOUSLY, YOU GUYS HAVE HAD MANY YEARS OF JUST GREAT SENIOR CLASSES.
WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO AN INTERACTIVE SCREEN WHERE WE'LL SCAN IN EVERYTHING AND IT CAN JUST BE SCROLLING THROUGHOUT, YOU CAN PICK THE CLASS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, AND IT WILL ALSO BE AT THE VERY FRONT OF THE SCHOOL, TOO.
WHEN PEOPLE DO COME IN, IT'S THE FIRST PRIDE POINT THAT EVERYBODY HAS WHEN THEY WALK IN.
>> THAT LOOKS WAY BETTER. [LAUGHTER] SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PANELING GOING AWAY.
>> IF YOU'LL NOTICE, THERE IS NO CARPET ON THE WALLS.
>> COMING THROUGH DON'T BE TOO EXCITED.
[LAUGHTER] THIS IS JUST A BLOW UP OF WHAT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT WITH THAT PANEL.
ALL THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU'RE SEEING ARE JUST PLACEHOLDERS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DESIGN THAT FOR YOU.
WE WILL WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S NOT ABOUT US, IT'S ABOUT YOU GUYS AND DEVELOPING WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY AND YOUR TEAM WANTS, BUT THAT IS A PLACEHOLDER JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'VE GOT BACK THERE IS EVEN JUST TRANSPOSED PICTURES BEHIND THERE AND EVERYTHING JUST TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER.
AGAIN, ON THE LEFT IS YOUR EXISTING TIGER PIT AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
THE BIGGEST THING WE'RE REALLY INCORPORATING IS OBVIOUSLY YOUR SCHOOL COLORS BECAUSE THEY'RE SUCH VIBRANT COLORS AND THEY REALLY POP.
WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE'RE REALLY INCORPORATING THE SCHOOL COLOR IN AREAS THAT ARE EFFICIENT TO CHANGE IF AND WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THE REALLY EXPENSIVE MORE PIECES LIKE THE WALL COVERINGS, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE NEUTRAL COLORS, CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
THE SCHOOL COLORS WILL BE PAINT, THEY'LL BE GRAPHICS, THAT IF AND WHEN IN THE FUTURE, YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT, IT'S VERY EASY TO DO.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE, IS IT'S PAINTED DRYWALL, IT'S A BUNCH OF VINYL GRAPHICS, BUT IT ADDS JUST SO MUCH WOW TO THE SPACE.
HERE GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE EXAMPLE, YOU'VE GOT YOUR CONCESSIONS BEING REDONE, WE'VE GOT SOME TURF MAGNETIC ACOUSTICAL THINGS THAT CLIP RIGHT INTO THE CEILING, AND THEN WE'VE GOT YOUR EXISTING TERRAZZO STAIN WITH NEW VINYL GRAPHICS AND NEW CEILINGS AND LIGHT FIXTURES THROUGHOUT.
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING THAT SAME WOOD BAFFLING ACOUSTICAL MATERIAL THAT WE'VE GOT AT THE FRONT, WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT OVER HERE JUST TO CREATE SOME COHESIVENESS ALL THROUGHOUT YOUR SCHOOL.
THEN WE'RE EVEN DOING YOUR TROPHY CASES, WE'RE REDOING ALL OF THAT, BRINGING ALL YOUR WALL FINISHES AND JUST UPDATING THE ENTIRE SPACE, THROUGHOUT ITS GOT THE TIGER PRIDE.
YOUR CORRIDORS; I DON'T KNOW WHY I THINK THIS ONE GETS ME MOST EXCITED BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THROUGHOUT YOUR SCHOOL, JUST SPLASHES OF COLOR THAT JUST ADD THAT POP.
YOU'LL SEE RIGHT HERE ON THE LEFT, YOU'VE GOT YOUR LOCKERS.
WE'RE TAKING OUT ALL THE LOCKERS.
SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE DOING LOCKERS, WE'RE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE GOT SHOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GREAT LITTLE POP OUT AREAS WITH BENCHES AND COLLABORATION SPACES.
THEN WE'RE OBVIOUSLY BRINGING A LOT OF SIGNAGE FOR WAY FINDING,
[00:35:02]
THAT SCHOOL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT BIG, I THINK, GOT TURNED AROUND EVEN TODAY.THE SIGNAGE AND EVERYTHING WILL JUST HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY, IT ALSO CREATES LITTLE SPACES OF EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT.
>> I'D LIKE TO JUST SAY SO BROOKLYN WHO SHOWED US THIS AND SHE'S BROOKLYN, THAT TELLS YOU SHE'S A LITTLE BIT YOUNGER THAN ME, BUT SHE DIDN'T EVER SAY CERTAIN, SHE JUST SAYS WAY FINDING.
SHE DIDN'T SAY SIGNS, SHE SAYS WAY FINDING.
>> WELL, I LIKE IT, WAY FINDING.
LOOK AT THOSE SIGNS, SO YOU KNOW WHAT HALL AND YOU CAN BE OLD.
[LAUGHTER] IT'S REALLY BIG, AND IT'S SUPER HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE, HELPS GET THEM AROUND, WHETHER [INAUDIBLE] OR NO. IT'S A WAY FINDER.
>> YEAH, BUT IT'S JUST THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
>> HERE'S JUST THE OVERVIEW PICTURE OF THE MATERIALS.
AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE USING SOME OF THE TURF, THE WOOD PANELING CEILINGS AT JUST MINIMAL AREAS JUST TO AGAIN, BRING THAT COHESIVENESS TOGETHER.
WE'RE GOING TO BE REPLACING ALL THE DRINKING FOUNTAINS WITH BOTTLE FILLERS, DOING WOOD TILE BACK THERE TO REPLICATE AGAIN THE WOOD THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON THE CEILINGS.
THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE A LOT OF WOOD, THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE A LOT OF THAT STUFF THROUGHOUT YOUR BUILDING, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT AS A WARMING.
THEN HERE'S REALLY THE MAJORITY OF YOUR CORRIDORS, I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE BIG SPLASHY, THAT WILL BE IN SMALL AREAS WHERE WE BRING A LOT OF VIBRANCE TO IT.
HOLISTICALLY, A LOT OF YOUR CORRIDORS ARE GOING TO BE NEUTRAL WITH YOUR WOOD GREEN DOORS AND EVERYTHING, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WOULD SEE HERE, BUT ALL BRAND NEW SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT ALL THE WAY FINDING.
>> YES. ALL NEW DOORS, HARDWARE, BRINGING ALL THAT STUFF UP TO CODE, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY ALL NEW CEILINGS AND LIGHTS.
IT'S AMAZING EVEN WHAT CEILING AND LIGHTS CAN DO JUST TO BRING SOME VIBRANCE.
>> HERE'S JUST EXAMPLES OF THE LITTLE BLUE AREAS OF WHERE WE ENVISION DOING THE POPS OF COLOR AT THOSE AREAS.
YOU'LL STILL HAVE THE BIG CORRIDORS, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A POP OF COLOR, AND WHAT WE'LL LIKELY DO TOO IS EVERY CORRIDOR, MAYBE EVEN THIS ONE MAY BE PREDOMINANTLY YELLOW, THIS ONE MAY BE PREDOMINANTLY BLUE TO EVEN HELP WITH THE WAY FINDING AS WELL.
YOUR CLASSROOMS. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, IT'S GOING TO BE JUST REALLY TRYING TO MIMIC MEMORIAL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
IT WILL BE NEW PAINT, NEW CARPET, NEW CEILING, LIGHTS, MARKER BOARDS, ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THAT MEMORIAL HAS.
HERE'S JUST A SCREENSHOT OF THE THREE AREAS THAT WE WERE JUST SHOWING YOU AS WHAT WE HOPE YOU GUYS GET EXCITED ABOUT AND CAN ACTUALLY ADD A LITTLE BIT OF VIBRANCE AND JUST EXCITEMENT BACK TO YOUR TIGER NATION.
AS FAR AS SCHEDULE IS CONCERNED, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING ME PRETTY MUCH THE NEXT COUPLE OF BOARD MEETINGS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A LOT TO DO IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
I WILL BE BACK NEXT MONTH AT YOUR BOARD MEETING TO DO AGAIN, THE PRESENTATION FOR THE DD, AND THEN FROM THERE IN DECEMBER FOR THE CDS AS WELL AS WE'RE GETTING THE CONTRACTORS ON BOARD.
WE MET WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF CMS THIS MORNING AND WE'RE HOPEFULLY GOING TO HAVE YOUR CONTRACTOR ON BOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO WE CAN START MAKING THIS UP AND THIS NOT GOING TO BE AN EASY PROJECT BY NO MEANS, BUT THE END RESULT, IT'S GOING TO BE DAY AND NIGHT AND SO WE'RE JUST SO HAPPY TO BE PART OF THIS PROJECT, I THINK IT'S GOING TO ADD SO MUCH EXCITEMENT TO YOUR DISTRICT.
THAT'S ALL I GOT UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. [APPLAUSE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] THAT. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THE SUMA DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR THE BRIDGE HOSPITAL RENOVATION.
>> YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FROM MR. KARL? DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL?
>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY MS. JAMEY PHILLIPS, SECOND BY MR. KYLE ROGERS.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
>> OPPOSE SAY NAY. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU, MR. KARL.
>> THANK YOU. IT'S GOOD. SO EXCITED.
>> IF YOU CAN'T GET EXCITED ABOUT THAT, YOU CAN LEAVE NOW. [LAUGHTER]
>> IT'S EXCITING AND THEN LATER, THEY'LL CREATE A HYPE VIDEO TO GET,
[00:40:01]
I'M NOT EXCITED, AND [OVERLAPPING]>> THAT'S HYPING UP FOR TIFFANY, BUT I WANT THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT AND GET EXCITED, AND THEIR TEACHERS.
>> OR THE COMMUNITY. THEY'VE SEEN MEMORIAL AND WHAT CAN BE DONE THERE, BUT A HYPE VIDEO WILL SHOW WATCH WHAT WE CAN DO IN FRENSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
>> WHAT'S THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE? GOT A MOVING TIME?
>> OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF COORDINATION WITHIN THIS JOB, RIGHT?
>> BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR SCHOOL SO WE CAN'T BE SURE SURE, SO WE GET OUR CMAR ONBOARD, THAT WOULD HELP US WITH IT.
>> IT STARTS SUMMER OF MAY 20.
>> THAT VIDEO. [OVERLAPPING] REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR GROUP MEDICAL INSURANCE FROM MR. HEATH.
[2.B.3. Consideration of RFP for group medical insurance]
>> MR. MILLER, THANK YOU BOARD.
YEAH, WE JUST KEEP THE EXCITEMENT GOING [LAUGHTER] ABOUT INSURANCE.
>> WELL, I'VE GOT A SPREADSHEET.
[LAUGHTER]. IN YOUR PACKETS, YOU CAN VIEW THE CONSIDERATION, BLESS YOU, AND THE RENEWAL OF THE FULLY INSURED MEDICAL GROUP INSURANCE.
AS STATED IN THE DOCUMENTS, YOU'RE DUE TO PROPOSED RATE CAP INCREASE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.
WE'VE MADE THE DECISION TO GO OUT AND GO UP FOR BID.
WITH THE HELP OF MAY, WE POINT OUT FOR BID AND PLUCK ON THE OTHER SIDE HERE WITH HEATHER AND HER TEAM, WE'RE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE THEM HELPING US THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.
>> THEY HAD TO DO TO NEGOTIATE THESES.
>> YOU'VE GOT A WICKED NINJA MAN.
AGAIN, WE WENT OUT FOR BID THAT AFTER THE BID PROCESS, SO WE BROUGHT THE BEST TO OUR COMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE MADE A RECOMMENDATIONS.
WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE PROCEED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION?
>> HOW MANY DIFFERENT HEALTH PROVIDERS DID MARSHALL MCCLANAHAN GIVE WAY?
>> THERE WAS SIX. WE GOT FORMAL BIDS WITH SIX.
I WAS PRETTY OPTIMISTIC AND CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.
SURE ENOUGH, SOME OF THEM CAME BACK.
MOST OF THEM CAME BACK, 40% JUST OFF THE BAT.
I REALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, IF IT WAS ESPECIALLY FOR SOME COMPANIES LIKE A BUYING CYCLE, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOME WOULD BE IN A BUYING CYCLE, BUT THEY WEREN'T.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTION FOR MR. SIMPSON?
>> WELL, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE ADMINISTRATORS RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE RENEWAL FOR BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD FOR THE 2026 CALENDAR YEAR.
>> DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT HIS RECOMMENDATION?
>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. KYLE ROGERS A SECOND BY MS. CHELSEA SALAZAR.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS OR QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
>> ALL ON THE SAME SIDE? MOTION CARRIES.
>> I APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK FOR GIVING YOU YOUR A HARD TIME.
>> THAT JUST MAKES IT HARDER AS LEADERSHIP TO HAVE TO PRESENT SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T CREATE THE PROBLEM BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAD IT, AND SO PLEASE DONE A GREAT JOB THIS YEAR IN HIS NEW ROLE.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE CAMPUS REPRESENTATION.
THEY DID REALLY A GREAT JOB IN JUST LOOKING AT THE BENEFITS AND THE PROS CONS,
[00:45:02]
IF YOU WILL, NOT JUST FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FOR THE WHOLE, THEY REALLY DID.I'VE SEEN THEM MATURE OVER THE YEARS, SOMETIMES AT FIRST AND A LOT OF THEM SAYING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET PREPARED, BUT WITH HEATHER REYNOLDS AND HEATH LEADING IT, THEY REALLY DID TRY TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WOULD BE THE BEST NOT JUST FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FOR ALL THE EMPLOYEES.
