1
00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:17.680
DTSD Webinars: Thanks to call the February the twelfth, 2,024 meeting of the Dairy Township School District Board of Directors to order and announce that this meeting is being both live, streamed, and audio recorded.

2
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:37.029
DTSD Webinars: I'd like to request the Board members. Please state your name when speaking. This is Ag. Roll call, please, Mr. Ben. Here, Mrs. Roy, up here, Mrs. Schmidt, here

3
00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:38.220
DTSD Webinars: 9 present.

4
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.020
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Please rise, if you are able, and join me for the pledge of allegiance.

5
00:00:45.010 --> 00:00:48.710
DTSD Webinars: I know you mentioned student a lot of the

6
00:00:58.720 --> 00:00:59.390
thank you.

7
00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:12.509
DTSD Webinars: May I please have a motion to approve the February twelfth, 2,024 board of directors meeting agenda. So moved. Josh has a second Microsoft. Is there any discussion?

8
00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:17.909
DTSD Webinars: This is a standard voice. Vote all those in favor, please say aye, aye, any opposed say no.

9
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:26.860
DTSD Webinars: Tonight's agenda is approved. We have 2 presentations this evening that we'll be starting out with first up is our

10
00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:36.610
DTSD Webinars: presentation from our architects. Crabtree, verbatim associates, and Mr. Culst, please come on up to the podium.

11
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:40.449
DTSD Webinars: Thank you for having me.

12
00:01:42.580 --> 00:01:49.340
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so our presentation for February. It's hard to believe it's already February and 2,024.

13
00:01:49.540 --> 00:02:00.480
DTSD Webinars: We are continuing with our programming phase, with the new elementary school project. We want to talk a little bit about the development of your educational program

14
00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:18.369
DTSD Webinars: and the spaces that are gonna be designed for this additions and renovations project. And then we're gonna talk a little bit about educational specifications. And this is getting into a little bit more detail as to what are the design elements of these spaces. 3.

15
00:02:18.390 --> 00:02:36.839
DTSD Webinars: And recently we went on a couple of more building tours. So I wanted to share some information with you on what the Administration observed, and some things that they've been thinking about, as far as implementing certain designs from nearby schools into your project. And then we're gonna talk a little bit about the next steps.

16
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.630
DTSD Webinars: So the educational program this is

17
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:55.270
DTSD Webinars: this is basically a documentation of all the spaces that you need for your school. If you remember, we did an analysis of your existing spaces and your educational enrollment, and where it was headed.

18
00:02:55.430 --> 00:03:04.320
DTSD Webinars: and we use that as a blueprint of where to start. And then through a lot of discussions that we've been having with the Administration as

19
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.720
DTSD Webinars: where do you want to move forward with your program?

20
00:03:07.820 --> 00:03:36.739
DTSD Webinars: There aren't too many spaces that are new that you don't currently have. The difference is that some of the spaces that you have now are undersized, and we've went through this when we talked about the community meeting, how you are using closets or you're using corridor space to turn into a program space for the students and the teachers. So this is kind of a snapshot of

21
00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:58.800
DTSD Webinars: a blow up of of this document of the spreadsheet shows the information that the quantity of each of these classrooms, the capacity for the general education classrooms, the sizes that we're looking at based upon the square footage, and then the and then the total for these different departments.

22
00:03:58.970 --> 00:04:01.440
DTSD Webinars:  we

23
00:04:01.490 --> 00:04:03.579
DTSD Webinars: we're thinking of

24
00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:14.210
DTSD Webinars: with the discussions, with the administration of grouping the and one wing, and then potentially the the 3 through 5 in another wing.

25
00:04:14.350 --> 00:04:18.040
DTSD Webinars: And when we develop this

26
00:04:18.370 --> 00:04:29.919
DTSD Webinars: really, this is the administration that's providing this information, we're just there to help guide them on how to develop and develop this documentation.

27
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.930
DTSD Webinars: And from this spreadsheet, then we can come up with an estimated

28
00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:39.310
DTSD Webinars: square footage that we're gonna need for the facility.

29
00:04:39.390 --> 00:04:46.720
DTSD Webinars: And right now, we're about 240 to 275 0 square feet. However.

30
00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:53.949
DTSD Webinars: that does not take into account the existing Ecc. Which is around 75,000 square feet.

31
00:04:53.980 --> 00:05:02.070
DTSD Webinars: So one of the things is, we're going to do a fit analysis on some of this program what can fit into the Ecc footprint.

32
00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:08.679
DTSD Webinars: So the next thing that we look at is the educational specifications.

33
00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:14.419
DTSD Webinars: and I will say that the majority of districts that I work with.

34
00:05:14.710 --> 00:05:20.700
DTSD Webinars: Skip this process. And it's been very refreshing to our office

35
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.980
DTSD Webinars: that your Administration wants to go through this process, and that they want to include the faculty.

36
00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:42.839
DTSD Webinars: So this is going to be a very valuable exercise early in the process. because what it does is it the educational specification is going to document the design intent. Of each of the classrooms.

37
00:05:43.270 --> 00:05:47.579
DTSD Webinars: So what are the physical characteristics that make up the classroom?

38
00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:57.799
DTSD Webinars: And what are the activities that are current in this classroom. So this helps us build, excuse me, design the building from the inside out.

39
00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:08.090
DTSD Webinars: So we had a Friday in January, where we met with different departments, and we were able to meet with each department an hour at a time.

40
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:19.950
DTSD Webinars: and rather than have them deliver a list of items of you know these were our wants. We actually did this exercise with them, and let them play designer

41
00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:36.849
DTSD Webinars: rather than just give us that list. But have it be a little bit more interactive. And we feel that this in the long run is just gonna be very valuable now, because when we get into things like design development phase, and we meet with the faculty

42
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.860
DTSD Webinars: they're already gonna have

43
00:06:38.910 --> 00:06:48.479
provided to us what they're looking for their educational spaces. So when we come to the table and meet with them to get into more

44
00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:50.440
DTSD Webinars: space planning.

45
00:06:50.820 --> 00:06:53.050
we're gonna have some pretty good

46
00:06:53.130 --> 00:06:57.119
DTSD Webinars: designs already started because of this process.

47
00:06:59.260 --> 00:07:07.779
DTSD Webinars: So, as I mentioned educational specification, this is another document that you provide to us. But we are just guiding you on how to develop it.

48
00:07:10.070 --> 00:07:15.549
DTSD Webinars: So what we task the Administration excuse me. The faculty with is

49
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:22.580
DTSD Webinars: when they're thinking about developing these spaces. These are some design principles that that we ask them to think about.

50
00:07:23.050 --> 00:07:27.610
DTSD Webinars: So making sure that their classrooms are adaptable and flexible.

51
00:07:27.650 --> 00:07:40.410
DTSD Webinars: and thinking about the different work areas for students and the teachers in the building. One of the things we talked about is, where is the classroom door?

52
00:07:40.430 --> 00:07:47.839
DTSD Webinars: In relationship to the teacher's desk and to the front of the classroom, the instructional wall.

53
00:07:48.570 --> 00:08:12.029
DTSD Webinars: We talked about technology. We talked about storage and all the different storage options storage for student belongings or storage for materials. What was mobile, what was fixed. We also talked a lot about natural daylight and transparency through the building, so that teachers can have supervision of students.

54
00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:18.730
DTSD Webinars: And the way that we. the way that we develop this exercise

55
00:08:19.010 --> 00:08:23.900
DTSD Webinars: was, we wanted the teachers to put together diagrams

56
00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:28.489
DTSD Webinars: on how they would see their classrooms laid out.

57
00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:32.429
DTSD Webinars: and we asked them to

58
00:08:32.710 --> 00:08:40.809
DTSD Webinars: use these icons and place them out on a sheet of paper to design these spaces.

59
00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:51.040
DTSD Webinars: So these icons represent different metaphors, and the 3 main metaphors are a campfire, a watering hole, and a cave.

60
00:08:51.060 --> 00:09:01.000
DTSD Webinars: and they represent different ways of learning. So the campfire represents education at its

61
00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:22.449
DTSD Webinars: earliest beginnings of storytelling and apprenticeship. So in most cultures, a campfire is where people come together to hear some type of storytelling. So you're always gonna have that need for the lecture and a presentation of a teacher in front of students delivering that instruction.

62
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:30.639
DTSD Webinars: So the other metaphor that we used was a watering hole. So a watering hull is more of social learning.

63
00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:46.439
DTSD Webinars: and it's through conversation. And so it's not through a lecture. So an example of a watering hole. Space might just be a couple of desks pulled together where it's a few students, a small group

64
00:09:46.630 --> 00:09:58.000
DTSD Webinars: that they have those discussions. I think there also could be a teacher involved as well. But it's more through that conversation that learning occurs. And then there's the cave space.

65
00:09:58.150 --> 00:10:11.909
DTSD Webinars: The cave space is more of self-directed learning, of individual reflection. And one of the things that we heard from your students when we did our visual listening exercise in the fall

66
00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:16.709
DTSD Webinars: was the calming corners. and how the students

67
00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:26.160
DTSD Webinars: really like those spaces that it's there for for them as an individual. But they also, you know, feel a little

68
00:10:26.290 --> 00:10:42.390
DTSD Webinars: insecure. Sometimes they feel like they may be placed on a pedestal or put out in the open. So we've been talking to teachers about how to design a space where students can feel more comfortable in that in that cave space.

69
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:57.430
DTSD Webinars: So there's a couple of other icons that we used as well, we have one for life where it's like a real world application. The mountaintop represents sharing ideas or student. Given a presentation or showing their work.

70
00:10:58.530 --> 00:11:01.290
DTSD Webinars: we also had icons for

71
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:04.780
DTSD Webinars: classroom materials

72
00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:14.500
DTSD Webinars: where our water source is located. Student storage and and just a couple of instances like a tech bar or a genius bar.

73
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.260
DTSD Webinars: So we shared. We shared some photos with the faculty on

74
00:11:21.290 --> 00:11:24.020
DTSD Webinars: what these spaces, or what these

75
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:34.760
DTSD Webinars: furniture arrangements would look like for each of these metaphors. So the campfire you can see this is a teacher presenting to the entire class.

76
00:11:35.310 --> 00:11:38.140
DTSD Webinars: Here's some of these watering hole examples

77
00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:41.569
DTSD Webinars: of just a small small group

78
00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:46.930
DTSD Webinars: couple of tables clustered together, or could be a small group classroom.

79
00:11:47.870 --> 00:11:52.970
DTSD Webinars: and then the cave spaces. Sometimes the cave spaces could just be as simple

80
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.920
DTSD Webinars: as built in furniture or soft scene furniture.

81
00:12:01.150 --> 00:12:05.210
DTSD Webinars: And then this application of project based learning

82
00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:10.699
DTSD Webinars: and real world learning from real world experiences.

83
00:12:11.970 --> 00:12:14.960
DTSD Webinars: and then the mountaintop presentation areas.

84
00:12:17.790 --> 00:12:20.610
DTSD Webinars: And then we we talked a little bit about

85
00:12:20.930 --> 00:12:26.509
DTSD Webinars: different types of furnitures and tables that offer storage solutions.

86
00:12:30.090 --> 00:12:32.869
DTSD Webinars: The water's pretty self-explanatory.

87
00:12:32.970 --> 00:12:38.280
DTSD Webinars: and then other options for student storage. There's a lot of discussion about

88
00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:43.959
DTSD Webinars: cubbies versus hawks or cubbies where

89
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:49.389
DTSD Webinars: it's just for one student per cubby, or would students share a copy.

90
00:12:52.490 --> 00:12:55.219
DTSD Webinars: and then the and then the genius tech bar.

91
00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:05.349
DTSD Webinars: So these are 2 examples of the diagrams that they came up with where they used all those icons.

92
00:13:05.430 --> 00:13:18.360
DTSD Webinars: and they paste them on a sheet. They wrote notes about. These are the activities that are occurring. These are the things that are very important to make this space work, and what we'll do with these diagrams

93
00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:24.239
DTSD Webinars: is we will then develop schematic interior design drawings from them.

94
00:13:24.670 --> 00:13:31.340
DTSD Webinars: and then, when we meet with the the faculty during the design development phase. We're just going to be

95
00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:37.599
DTSD Webinars: taking their ideas, these concepts and putting it into architectural drawings.

96
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.390
DTSD Webinars: So this was a great exercise got

97
00:13:41.530 --> 00:13:57.139
DTSD Webinars: gave me an opportunity to meet some of the faculty for the first time some of the other faculty was able to meet during the visual listening exercise that we did. And then we're gonna follow up with them. During our design development phase. So

98
00:13:57.260 --> 00:14:03.309
DTSD Webinars: this was a a a really good really good experience, I think, for everybody.

99
00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:14.990
DTSD Webinars: So the Tours that we went on we visited Mannheim Township, Middle School, and Bainbridge Elementary School, which is in Elizabethtown Area school district.

100
00:14:15.770 --> 00:14:26.500
DTSD Webinars: The reason why these 2 projects were selected is we'd previously shown elementary schools where they had.

101
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:33.049
DTSD Webinars: what we call learning Commons or academic Commons spaces.

102
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.220
DTSD Webinars: And they're essentially large group instruction rooms

103
00:14:37.270 --> 00:14:43.419
DTSD Webinars: where you can bring multiple classes into a space

104
00:14:43.710 --> 00:14:45.100
DTSD Webinars: with 4 walls.

105
00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:49.169
DTSD Webinars: We also wanted to show the district

106
00:14:49.840 --> 00:15:00.050
DTSD Webinars: some examples of some schools that they don't have those large group rooms, but they have flexible breakout spaces in the corridors

107
00:15:00.310 --> 00:15:01.430
DTSD Webinars: that.

108
00:15:02.910 --> 00:15:05.749
DTSD Webinars: rather than being confined to

109
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:15.080
DTSD Webinars: all your classrooms. Is there an opportunity to bring the students out into the corridors right outside of

110
00:15:15.180 --> 00:15:22.819
DTSD Webinars: these of your classrooms, so that the learning opportunities can occur anywhere within the school.

111
00:15:23.130 --> 00:15:29.160
DTSD Webinars: and rather than having. rather than having a school like you do. Now, where you're just

112
00:15:30.010 --> 00:15:36.729
DTSD Webinars: making the best use of that corridor space that we're actually designing that corridor space

113
00:15:36.930 --> 00:15:38.490
DTSD Webinars: to accommodate

114
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:51.549
DTSD Webinars: those watering holes, small group, or even potentially cave spaces. So this is this is the photo of Mannheim Township, Middle School. This is in their one of their academic wings.

115
00:15:51.710 --> 00:16:04.060
DTSD Webinars: and you can just see the the furniture arrangement. This is a soft seating area right outside the classrooms, but then they also have spaces like this, where

116
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.549
DTSD Webinars: this one, the bottom left-hand corner, is located around a cluster of classrooms

117
00:16:10.610 --> 00:16:15.320
DTSD Webinars: that 4 classrooms can share a space like this.

118
00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:31.149
DTSD Webinars: And then this is another space. It's off of that academic commons on the top right hand corner that has table, instructional wall. some storage, and some and a water source. It also has access to a courtyard as well.

119
00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:40.330
DTSD Webinars: Then for Bainbridge this was an additions and renovations project at Elizabethtown.

120
00:16:40.470 --> 00:16:52.149
DTSD Webinars: This is the new classroom, one of the new classroom wings. There's actually 2 new classroom wings, and there's a cluster of classrooms that surround this common space.

121
00:16:52.310 --> 00:16:56.010
DTSD Webinars: and through these operable glass partitions

122
00:16:56.060 --> 00:17:13.310
DTSD Webinars: students can then spill out into this into this space for different activities. Some of these small group activities, or even bring a couple of classrooms together. You see that there is a different arrangement of of furniture, whether it's soft seating or tables and chairs.

123
00:17:14.290 --> 00:17:18.109
DTSD Webinars: And then this is just a couple of other photos of that space.

124
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:29.319
DTSD Webinars: You can see how the the glass operable glass partitions are open. It still has doors to get back and forth from the hallway into the classroom.

125
00:17:33.130 --> 00:17:39.769
DTSD Webinars: And then there's within that cluster of 4 classrooms. 2 of them have an operable wall

126
00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:44.510
DTSD Webinars: that if you want to get these, if you have teachers that like to

127
00:17:44.530 --> 00:17:46.460
DTSD Webinars: combine.

128
00:17:46.930 --> 00:17:48.900
DTSD Webinars: combine their classes.

129
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:59.439
DTSD Webinars: you can locate them adjacent to each other, and then you can move that operable partition. And those 2 teachers could do some collaboration with their students.

130
00:18:01.050 --> 00:18:09.519
DTSD Webinars: And then this next you can. Just this is just a diagram on all the different spatial arrangements that you can do with

131
00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:23.000
DTSD Webinars: a couple of classrooms in that breakout space, or all the classrooms in the breakout space, and then even all of the classrooms, the big breakout space, and then the

132
00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:29.060
DTSD Webinars: the outdoor learning courtyard that's off of this new classroom addition.

133
00:18:30.970 --> 00:18:35.959
DTSD Webinars: So we had these tours last week, and in our next meeting

134
00:18:35.970 --> 00:18:47.030
DTSD Webinars: we're gonna be talking with the Administration a little bit more about what direction they would like to move forward with in the educational program to develop spaces like this?

135
00:18:47.060 --> 00:18:59.950
DTSD Webinars: Or do you find it more valuable to have those large group instruction spaces that we saw at Winding Creek Elementary and Northern Lebanon Elementary school. Or maybe there's a hybrid of both.

136
00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:08.789
DTSD Webinars: So the last part of the presentation is just some of the upcoming milestones.

137
00:19:09.470 --> 00:19:20.519
DTSD Webinars: So we're gonna we're documenting the add specs right now. And we're also looking at developing a program for district administration offices.

138
00:19:20.870 --> 00:19:36.289
DTSD Webinars: So we're developing that. But also at the same time, we're gonna knock the dust off of the Granada study. So we can do a comparison of renovate or replace for the district admin spaces similar to

139
00:19:36.530 --> 00:19:41.100
DTSD Webinars: the presentation that you saw on the community community meeting of

140
00:19:41.390 --> 00:19:46.719
DTSD Webinars: of renovating your existing elementary school or or building new

141
00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:54.450
DTSD Webinars: then in in March and April, we're going to start developing some conceptual and schematic design.

142
00:19:54.530 --> 00:20:05.020
DTSD Webinars: We are. We're currently waiting for the civil engineer to finish their survey. We feel that that's going to be very important information for us to have before we start

143
00:20:05.390 --> 00:20:07.959
DTSD Webinars: developing the conceptual design.

144
00:20:08.020 --> 00:20:23.040
DTSD Webinars: And once that's done and administration, we'll probably develop a few different options for that conceptual design. But once that's done and an option is selected, we're then gonna focus on building our

145
00:20:23.290 --> 00:20:29.800
DTSD Webinars: design team, our consultant team. So we'll have to bring in all of our mechanical electrical plumbing

146
00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:32.960
DTSD Webinars: food service and structural engineer.

147
00:20:34.580 --> 00:20:40.810
DTSD Webinars: So that is the end of the presentation. Any any questions I know that was probably spoke really quickly. There was a lot.

148
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:54.010
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. This is Lindsay Drew. Could you just talk about what the the conceptual design presentation will look like

149
00:20:54.060 --> 00:21:03.889
DTSD Webinars: and how you deliver that. Yeah. So if you remember from the the presentation that I had shared with the Board in December.

150
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:15.430
DTSD Webinars: The conceptual design will still be 50,000 feet in the air. So it's just more of looking at how the building is organized.

151
00:21:15.690 --> 00:21:19.190
DTSD Webinars: and how it sits on the site.

152
00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:27.200
DTSD Webinars: how the traffic patterns are occurring, and then the adjacencies of the different departments and the different grade levels.

153
00:21:27.230 --> 00:21:35.870
DTSD Webinars: So from a conceptual design standpoint. that's what it will look like. Then when we start to get into the schematic design.

154
00:21:36.010 --> 00:21:41.229
DTSD Webinars: then we're going to start to carve out the individual classroom spaces.

155
00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:51.399
DTSD Webinars: We'll have a little bit of information on some of the building support spaces, but for the most part it's going to be. Do we have those educational programs? Do we have

156
00:21:51.590 --> 00:22:00.280
DTSD Webinars: the correct quantity? Do we have the adjacencies that the administration is looking for? And are they properly sized?

157
00:22:01.830 --> 00:22:02.720
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.

158
00:22:06.250 --> 00:22:07.660
DTSD Webinars: Any other questions.

159
00:22:10.760 --> 00:22:13.090
DTSD Webinars: Okay, thank you. Thanks, Mr. Goldstein.

160
00:22:15.730 --> 00:22:34.200
DTSD Webinars: Okay, next up this evening we have another presentation from Fidavia construction management and consulting. We do have a contract on the agenda for approval this evening, and so Mr. John Eck and Mr. Kelby English are here with us to give an overview and presentation. Of their services.

161
00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:35.800
DTSD Webinars: Good evening.

162
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:55.189
DTSD Webinars: Good evening. My name is John Ek. I'm with Bidavia construction management with me tonight. Is Kelby English. If you agree to allow us to join your team, I will be serving as the project executive

163
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.069
DTSD Webinars: from the onset of design. Through the completion of the project.

164
00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:07.630
DTSD Webinars: Calby will be serving as your day-to-day on Site representative, overseeing all daily operations of the construction process.

165
00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:24.400
DTSD Webinars: So as a firm, instead of having a mission statement. We've adopted a vision, and we believe that constructing is about fulfilling dreams, that buildings are manifestations of goals and aspirations.

166
00:23:24.450 --> 00:23:30.339
DTSD Webinars: that projects should be planned and professionally executed to budget and complete on time.

167
00:23:30.780 --> 00:23:40.899
DTSD Webinars: and that the process of constructing these dreams should be a pleasant relationship. Building experience. Vidavia is a usually translated Latin word for trusted path.

168
00:23:41.270 --> 00:23:46.870
DTSD Webinars: and it's a diverse family of construction professionals who are passionately committed

169
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.450
DTSD Webinars: to providing its clients, whom it likewise considers family

170
00:23:50.620 --> 00:23:56.549
DTSD Webinars: with the most professional and tailored construction management, consulting and advisory services

171
00:23:56.610 --> 00:24:06.109
DTSD Webinars: in order to fulfill all of these dreams that through partnership and deliver results. But David may serve as clients trusted path for their project.

172
00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:25.160
DTSD Webinars: Some of the high points about what Fedavia does is we rep only represent owners, although we know all of the architects and engineers and contractors. Regionally we only serve construction project clients.

173
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:39.349
DTSD Webinars: We believe it would be a conflict of interest for us to be involved professionally with any of the other firms, and it could create a misunderstanding about what our intent is when we attempt to serve your best interest.

174
00:24:39.560 --> 00:24:50.300
DTSD Webinars: Our breadth of experience is pretty much explained by the last 20 years of accomplishments, and we have an awful lot of

175
00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:55.519
DTSD Webinars: previous clients who can speak to what we can bring to the table

176
00:24:55.530 --> 00:24:59.740
as had been experienced by them on their successful projects.

177
00:25:00.010 --> 00:25:15.049
DTSD Webinars: We believe we're unparalleled in house expertise and knowledge, with a wide array of of people within the firm who have unparalleled backgrounds in engineering.

178
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.370
DTSD Webinars: mechanically civil and structural.

179
00:25:18.430 --> 00:25:41.689
DTSD Webinars: We have an awful lot of personnel who work in the field similar to the job Kelby's gonna do who have an awful lot of diverse construction experience. They've been exposed to the day in and day out process of what contractors do and are highly knowledgeable about what to expect. As far as end result and quality level of work.

180
00:25:41.930 --> 00:25:44.760
DTSD Webinars: We can develop

181
00:25:45.050 --> 00:25:57.150
DTSD Webinars: pretty much customized project control methods and dashboards that will allow us to present you with timeline updates as far as where we are on schedule.

182
00:25:57.290 --> 00:26:18.929
DTSD Webinars: how the contractors are doing. As far as managing the budget, and should that unforeseen or hidden condition arise, and they do in renovation type projects, we make sure that we are maintaining control of the funds that the district has decided to expend on the construction project.

183
00:26:18.930 --> 00:26:36.699
DTSD Webinars: and and that we manage all of this in an open, concise way. In some of the control methods that we present to you on all of the reports that will get created on a daily basis by Kelby and the team that worked with him during the construction process.

184
00:26:36.920 --> 00:27:04.270
DTSD Webinars: We also pride ourselves in open, honest, and frequent communication, not just with the Board, but with the community, as allowed by the board. To that end we like to be involved in lots of team meetings, particularly with staff members who are ultimately going to occupy the building, get their feedback during the actual construction process, and then at times, with the permission of the board.

185
00:27:04.270 --> 00:27:15.219
DTSD Webinars: open the building when it's safe for access by outsiders for updates and tours for students, community members and staff members.

186
00:27:15.890 --> 00:27:26.680
DTSD Webinars: We have a proven track record, and we believe that recommendations from previous clients will make that understandable.

187
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:38.729
DTSD Webinars: We consider ourselves to be K. Through 12 construction experts. Since 2,003, Vedavia has managed over 2.3 billion dollars in Pennsylvania. Public school construction.

188
00:27:39.060 --> 00:27:42.119
DTSD Webinars: We believe ourselves

189
00:27:42.870 --> 00:27:51.789
DTSD Webinars: to be a trusted partner. Bring to the table a proven track record. We have unparalleled in-house expertise and knowledge.

190
00:27:51.810 --> 00:27:58.769
DTSD Webinars: We have definitely an a team of professionals working with clients in-house every day.

191
00:27:59.170 --> 00:28:14.770
DTSD Webinars: We believe ourselves to be a leader in the recognition of disputes, preventions, and then resolutions of those disputes, should they arise. In the in the 20 years that we have been representing owners.

192
00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:25.240
DTSD Webinars: we have never had a claim or a litigation survive the end of a project. I'm not saying that there hasn't been any, but they have never survived the end of a project.

193
00:28:26.100 --> 00:28:29.319
DTSD Webinars: One of our other priorities

194
00:28:29.430 --> 00:28:41.859
DTSD Webinars: is trying to present best value for the money the taxpayers have given you permission to spend. We kind of see our role in one of your representatives as one of your representatives.

195
00:28:41.900 --> 00:29:03.979
DTSD Webinars: as being somewhat fiduciary helping. You appreciate that extra money that might need to get spent as relates to the resolution of unforeseen conditions is being spent for a true value, and not just because a contractor thinks they may have missed something and would like to see a page get turned on a check.

196
00:29:07.130 --> 00:29:15.660
DTSD Webinars: The project team that will be involved specifically with this project starts with Dan Sakala. He's the principal of the firm

197
00:29:15.750 --> 00:29:35.220
DTSD Webinars: John Michael will be involved with as the preconstruction manager, he will constantly be updating estimates and cost reviews throughout the entire process, so that as the building evolves, so does the budget, and what the bottom line costs of that budget are going to end up being Melanie Heckel

198
00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:55.929
DTSD Webinars: will be involved with contract and legal reviews, as well as taking part in the bidding and documentation process. Heather Crownover will be attending all types of staff meetings, design meetings, creating a log of correspondence, and will also assist.

199
00:29:55.930 --> 00:30:21.209
DTSD Webinars: during the bidding stage of the project, to get the word out to all regional contractors and to peak interest for involvement during the bidding process. The best way to have a competitively bid project and present dairy township with the best competitive price on bid day is to engage contractors early and often during the entire bid process.

200
00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:35.139
DTSD Webinars: We also have Don Kozer, who will be doing ve and constructability reviews myself. I'll serve as a project. Executive Kelby will be your on site construction manager

201
00:30:35.390 --> 00:30:46.179
DTSD Webinars: Brenda Santiago, who who was like the herder of cats at Fidavia, will maintain a presence on the job site weekly with Kelby

202
00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:55.209
DTSD Webinars: and try to help him along with all the administration documents and paperwork, as well as create a box file

203
00:30:55.210 --> 00:31:20.059
DTSD Webinars: that accumulates all of the documents related to the project, and we can make them accessible to the entire board. Should anyone on the board want to be involved a little bit in the weeds to make sure that all the necessary documents are available, they provide the information that's necessary for you to make changes as the project progresses if they become necessary, and then Mark Binkley

204
00:31:20.230 --> 00:31:35.010
DTSD Webinars: will assist during the pre-construction process process with scheduling and quality control, and Mark is also director of field operations in our chain of command, he would essentially be Kelly's boss.

205
00:31:38.510 --> 00:32:01.449
DTSD Webinars: So these are all the services that we offer. I don't have to go into each one individually. Let me just surmise all of the the items on the page as saying, we are a full service owner's representative. We think we can perform best if we get involved at this stage of the project.

206
00:32:01.570 --> 00:32:11.120
DTSD Webinars: We we have worked with Crabtree previously. They they know us, we know them, we. They understand that

207
00:32:11.230 --> 00:32:24.529
DTSD Webinars: we are here to serve as your representative. Our goal is to make sure that any information that Anthony had mentioned earlier during this collection of ideas process

208
00:32:24.530 --> 00:32:50.980
DTSD Webinars: actually makes its way onto paper, so that when the drawings go out to bid everything that gets talked about in the pre-designed and design stages actually ends up on the drawings that get presented to contractors so that they can give a hard, competitive bid on what all these dreams and ideas are about what you want to present to the community as a completed project when this job is over.

209
00:32:53.470 --> 00:33:01.780
DTSD Webinars: So, in just a quick overview summation in during the preconstruction and bidding phases. We're going to be looking at

210
00:33:02.030 --> 00:33:16.239
DTSD Webinars: the overall scope of the project, ensuring that the best possible project to address all of Dairy township school district's needs actually ends up on the design documents that get presented to the contracting community.

211
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:32.769
DTSD Webinars: We total totally totally believe in community and faculty involvement. Like Anthony mentioned earlier. We think the process that they're going through right now is totally important. In order for

212
00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:47.289
DTSD Webinars: your school district staff to believe that you have their best interest at heart. When you decide to move forward with this project, and you're giving them the tools they need to do their day to day jobs

213
00:33:47.460 --> 00:34:04.830
DTSD Webinars: as relates to schedule. This project is kind of landlocked. It's going to be very unique. There are going to be phasing challenges when we try to do some of this work around a functioning site along with those phasing challenge, I'll just

214
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:28.709
DTSD Webinars: security and access challenges. We wanna be on board at the very beginning to understand what your traffic flows are, and we can work with the design team to make sure that we manage all of that for the safety and security of the building, and for easy parent and bus drop off and pick up every day. We're going to be on top of the budget, as I mentioned earlier.

215
00:34:28.710 --> 00:34:52.780
DTSD Webinars: From the very start of the project we're going to assist Crabtree with cost estimating. I know they have a great team that does value engineering and costing of their own designs. And we believe that John Michael, who's going to be involved in this project from Fedavia, will be able to assist them, because what we like to do is comparison reviews of where their budgets are

216
00:34:52.780 --> 00:35:02.519
DTSD Webinars: versus where our budgets are, and then the other thing that we are able to bring to the table as has their design kind of like

217
00:35:02.790 --> 00:35:10.030
DTSD Webinars: comes to culmination. We are staying on top of the costing of what each one of these implementations due to the budget

218
00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:34.769
DTSD Webinars: during the construction. In the closeout phase, of course, safety is paramount. All of our guys are Osha trained. We? We can take play the role of a person on the job site who can easily walk through there and make people aware of unsafe conditions. Bring them to the intention of the Site managers, and get all of that taken care of and addressed.

219
00:35:34.770 --> 00:35:48.930
DTSD Webinars: We will provide comprehensive on-site management. We will definitely be Dairy township's eyes and ears on a daily basis, and Calby will be involved in doing daily reporting, reporting, and documentation.

220
00:35:48.960 --> 00:36:00.979
DTSD Webinars: We have a comprehensive Fidavia team, and one of our goals is to manage change orders, not necessarily to prevent them, because I don't know that there's ever been a project without one.

221
00:36:01.060 --> 00:36:13.349
DTSD Webinars: but we believe it's very, very important to make sure that you feel comfortable, that your money is being managed. Well, should it be necessary to discuss change orders, how they have come up and how to resolve them.

222
00:36:17.150 --> 00:36:30.509
DTSD Webinars: I brought Kelby with me today. In the event you have any technical questions or concerns about what might happen once the process gets underway, and we're into a daily day to day daily construction project.

223
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:38.109
DTSD Webinars: If anyone has any technical questions regarding contract or legalities of our involvement, I'd be happy to answer those.

224
00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:46.219
DTSD Webinars: Thank you very much.

225
00:36:47.120 --> 00:37:01.379
DTSD Webinars: Could you just speak to a bit regarding on like the cost control and financialing and schedule management. You know what that looks like in your experience with recent K 12 projects, maybe where some

226
00:37:02.200 --> 00:37:12.640
DTSD Webinars: where you're involved in cost savings or recognizing throughout the process things that may lead to change orders or going

227
00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:15.429
DTSD Webinars: beyond the the budgeted amount.

228
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:26.549
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, we we. The reason we like to be heavily involved at the beginning of the project is so that we can keep our finger on the pulse of where the budget is going. Of course there's

229
00:37:26.580 --> 00:37:36.470
DTSD Webinars: there's going to be an amount of money that's kind of like an upset price for the district you you do. You're only gonna be allowed to spend so much. You want the biggest bang for the buck.

230
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:59.840
DTSD Webinars: Our goal is to work closely with Crabtree as they expand their design and make sure that we're not coming up with ideas that may be inflating the budget. We don't want to find that out after the project goes out to bid. We want to find that out during the course of the design, as far as change orders go, this is gonna be a complicated project.

231
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:05.130
DTSD Webinars: If I stood here to day and told you that you don't have to expect any. I would be misleading you.

232
00:38:05.450 --> 00:38:29.110
DTSD Webinars: We believe that our job is to work together with the designer to make sure that any perceived issues get addressed in the documents so that we don't get into an arisen omissions, situation, or an unforeseen situation where budgets get blown within the first 6 months of the project, because things that could have been anticipated weren't.

233
00:38:29.590 --> 00:38:39.850
DTSD Webinars: So that's kind of like a checks and balance thing that Fedavia will work along with the design team to try and make sure that

234
00:38:40.030 --> 00:38:47.960
DTSD Webinars: the designs that the design elements that get incorporated to the project will actually fit within the budget.

235
00:38:48.540 --> 00:38:49.410
Thank you.

236
00:38:51.080 --> 00:38:57.350
DTSD Webinars: This is Erica Schmidt. Quick pressure. I was looking through the contract. And

237
00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:11.919
DTSD Webinars: can you? Just it looks like it's for per month for 23 months of construction. Is that am I reading that correct correctly? Okay, so when would that start

238
00:39:12.570 --> 00:39:13.270
DTSD Webinars: like

239
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:15.230
DTSD Webinars: like

240
00:39:15.350 --> 00:39:42.919
DTSD Webinars: next month you working with. Well, I think the contract indicates that there may be phases of the project. There'll be a pre construction design phase, and there will be billing for that. Then there will be a con. There will be a bidding phase, and there will be a lump sum proposal amount for that along with a construction phase which starts the day, contractors

241
00:39:42.950 --> 00:39:50.339
DTSD Webinars: get executed contracts from the district. So there's basically 3 components to the proposal.

242
00:39:50.410 --> 00:39:57.900
DTSD Webinars: There's pre-construction. There's bidding, and then there's construction into closeout, so there could be months where you are not.

243
00:39:58.140 --> 00:39:59.380
DTSD Webinars: Here is that

244
00:39:59.970 --> 00:40:18.590
DTSD Webinars:  when you will see us the most when our physical presence will be most obvious is once construction starts, but during the preconstruction and the biddings, a lot of the work that we do is kind of behind the scenes. With your team, with your design team.

245
00:40:19.390 --> 00:40:22.689
DTSD Webinars: we still have personnel working on the project.

246
00:40:22.750 --> 00:40:42.329
DTSD Webinars: They're just kind of integrated with the design team. As this whole process comes together. there are. There's there's a lump sum phase for the initial preconstruction piece that's estimated to last about 8 months. But if that takes longer than 8 months. We're covered through that lump sum.

247
00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:58.200
DTSD Webinars: One of the things that when we talked to Mr. Socala was that that lump sum covers us until we are ready to break ground, and then once we break ground and construction begins, then that second phase happens where we're paying that monthly fee.

248
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:18.820
DTSD Webinars: and that is estimated to be 23 months. But we just continue paying the same fee if it's 26 months. Yes, it's the advantage of way Mister presents his proposals. He he kind of tries to make sure that the bases are covered for what our perception of the project is.

249
00:41:18.830 --> 00:41:36.640
DTSD Webinars: but he wants the client to appreciate that we will do whatever it takes to complete the project as promised, whether it takes 2620, 23 months, 26 months, 28 months and he won't be coming back here asking you for additional funds.

250
00:41:37.120 --> 00:41:41.200
DTSD Webinars: This is not a time and material engagement. Okay, thank you.

251
00:41:44.970 --> 00:41:59.109
DTSD Webinars: Relative to the community input component of it. I think that's a really big factor to this, the education and the communication with community members, taxpayers, stakeholders.

252
00:41:59.190 --> 00:42:09.809
DTSD Webinars: In this project. Can you speak a little bit more to the experience that you have like? What does that look like, as far as your engagement level with helping us to facilitate.

253
00:42:09.870 --> 00:42:12.829
DTSD Webinars: You know those various components. I know

254
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:20.919
DTSD Webinars: many people in the community. And most of us board members may not have been through a construction build

255
00:42:20.950 --> 00:42:40.060
DTSD Webinars: at the district of this scale and level and understanding, you know the different aspects of it generally. We would recommend that at least on no less than 2 occasions during the design process. There are presentations made by both Fedavia and the design team jointly

256
00:42:40.210 --> 00:42:47.149
DTSD Webinars: to show your intentions to the community and get feedback with the understanding that

257
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.120
DTSD Webinars:  The taxpayers

258
00:42:50.740 --> 00:42:52.780
DTSD Webinars: can feel as though

259
00:42:53.390 --> 00:43:07.919
DTSD Webinars: you don't just have their best interests at heart, but their children's best interests at heart, and you're not frivolously spending taxpayer money that every all the amounts of money that are being spent are to provide them with the most

260
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:09.800
DTSD Webinars: comfortable

261
00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:14.089
DTSD Webinars: opportunistic building to present your education program.

262
00:43:14.290 --> 00:43:21.600
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, II know, working with Crabtree previously, they'd love to do community

263
00:43:28.380 --> 00:43:29.700
DTSD Webinars: the process.

264
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:56.249
DTSD Webinars: and maybe a third time within a month or 2 before the project is ready to go out to bids. Just so the community gets to see kind of the dot on the eye at the end of the entire design process before the construction process gets started. As I mentioned earlier, too, one of the things that we enjoy doing most during the construction process is, once we get to the building to a point where it has a roof

265
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:12.120
DTSD Webinars: and can be safely traversed. Get staff and students through the building, and then possibly even having a community, night or 2, to allow any interested parties to walk through and see where you're at gauge for themselves whether or not

266
00:44:12.210 --> 00:44:16.679
DTSD Webinars: what you told them they're going to get is what is going to be presented as an end result.

267
00:44:20.160 --> 00:44:22.510
DTSD Webinars: Have one more question, and

268
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:33.770
DTSD Webinars: trying to think of the best way to to put it there, because you provided a lot of information. I know that you met with our interview team that included board members and the Administration, and have had extensive

269
00:44:33.890 --> 00:44:41.479
DTSD Webinars: conversation. I've been impressed by your proposal and the information you provide, but if you could kind of take it to

270
00:44:41.660 --> 00:45:03.230
DTSD Webinars: that 30,000 foot level, and for those of us that are not in construction on a daily basis, but our concern from a taxpayer perspective, or what this project looks like. What is the benefit ultimately provided by having an owners rep. And if you had to explain to someone who knew nothing about this type of project. What is your role in

271
00:45:03.670 --> 00:45:05.090
DTSD Webinars: the whole project?

272
00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:16.829
DTSD Webinars: If I had to summonize it in just a few sentences I would say that we have been

273
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:23.629
DTSD Webinars: all of us had been in the construction business for quite some time in varying capacities.

274
00:45:24.090 --> 00:45:29.359
DTSD Webinars: A construction site is a very, very unique situation.

275
00:45:29.510 --> 00:45:41.539
DTSD Webinars:  we have been there and done that with all the contractors and design professionals. Regionally. they know us, we know them.

276
00:45:43.020 --> 00:45:51.210
DTSD Webinars: they know we have expect expectations of them. They know that we know that they have expectations of us.

277
00:45:51.900 --> 00:46:08.989
DTSD Webinars: The benefit that we bring as the owner's representative is that experience with all the individuals that are going to be involved in the process. We can tell you whether or not you're being guided correctly. When people explain to you the value for your money that's being spent.

278
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:16.359
DTSD Webinars: Whether or not the contractors you're bringing on board really do have the experience to do the project that you have.

279
00:46:16.610 --> 00:46:26.850
DTSD Webinars: and while Anthony's team does a great job of overseeing the construction process from a distance.

280
00:46:27.210 --> 00:46:35.820
DTSD Webinars: we are, we become the true eyes and ears of the district on a daily basis that we can update you about everything that's going on.

281
00:46:35.870 --> 00:46:45.860
DTSD Webinars: We present photographic documentation at board meetings as as requested, so that you can get a first hand update of what's going on.

282
00:46:45.910 --> 00:46:51.119
DTSD Webinars: We can make you aware of whether or not we foresee problems developing

283
00:46:51.230 --> 00:46:56.799
DTSD Webinars: and prevent them from actually becoming issues that have to be dealt with on the job site.

284
00:46:56.860 --> 00:47:10.729
DTSD Webinars: We we also believe it's our fiduciary responsibility to safeguard the community's money, the taxpayers money, and make sure that if you have to expend additional dollars to get the project complete.

285
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:17.139
DTSD Webinars: the value that you expect for the money that you're being told you may need to spend is actually there.

286
00:47:18.250 --> 00:47:24.709
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Quick question. Actually, when you were saying that this is Erica Schmidt.

287
00:47:24.780 --> 00:47:28.169
DTSD Webinars: So you know you're gonna be the eyes and ears.

288
00:47:28.580 --> 00:47:33.139
DTSD Webinars: Have you run into situations with?

289
00:47:33.510 --> 00:47:37.300
DTSD Webinars: you know, at different points in the build where

290
00:47:37.540 --> 00:47:39.310
DTSD Webinars: you have to confront

291
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:52.799
DTSD Webinars: whether it's Hvac. Or whoever it is, because they're not doing their job. They're just they're dragging things out. They're causing issues. I'm not saying Hvac in particular. But just you know.

292
00:47:53.030 --> 00:47:55.360
DTSD Webinars: how do you handle that? What do you do?

293
00:47:56.470 --> 00:48:19.510
DTSD Webinars: Again, one of the advantages of having an an owners representative on board that has construction background is we've kind of been there done that seen it all? Kelby's quite a depth. II admire Kelby for the ability that I've seen him bring to field projects because he's a very good communicator, and he has a way of letting people know

294
00:48:19.510 --> 00:48:29.039
DTSD Webinars: when their buds start dragging 6 months into a 28 month. Project contractors always seem to think that they have plenty of time to get it done.

295
00:48:29.310 --> 00:48:33.360
DTSD Webinars: but the purpose of the schedule that we expect them to create

296
00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:51.559
DTSD Webinars: is a double edged sword. They tell us, when they think they're going to do things, but we take that as their word, their gospel, and we make sure that what they're telling us they're going to do by the end of April gets done, because now there's a document that we have worked with them to create.

297
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:57.800
DTSD Webinars: That will indicate that if they're not at a certain point during the construction process in May.

298
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:17.380
DTSD Webinars: they're not going to make a certain point of the construction process in October, so rather than wait to October and find out that. Oh, my gosh! We're up against the wall. Here we will work with them on a daily basis every time something like that happens to make sure that schedule adjustments get made

299
00:49:17.420 --> 00:49:22.330
DTSD Webinars: so that the project can stay on time generally, if it stays on time.

300
00:49:22.340 --> 00:49:27.070
DTSD Webinars: it stays on budget. Okay. thank you.

301
00:49:28.420 --> 00:49:30.300
DTSD Webinars: If there's a problem

302
00:49:30.860 --> 00:49:35.249
DTSD Webinars: we are transparent, we will make sure you're aware of any issue

303
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:45.160
DTSD Webinars: we are here to to to guard the district from being taken advantage of. But that was kind of my question, because that does, as

304
00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:48.480
DTSD Webinars: you know, in construction. It can happen.

305
00:49:48.620 --> 00:49:57.209
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, it it can happen. not to brag. But it doesn't often happen on Fedivia projects.

306
00:49:59.300 --> 00:50:02.250
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Does anyone else have any questions.

307
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:04.580
DTSD Webinars: Dr. Reza, is there anything you'd like to add?

308
00:50:05.570 --> 00:50:18.610
DTSD Webinars: I don't think so. Thank you so much for being here tonight. I look forward to getting my team engaged with Anthony's team as soon as you give us approval to join the team.

309
00:50:19.970 --> 00:50:21.760
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Appreciate your time.

310
00:50:25.130 --> 00:50:28.250
DTSD Webinars: hey, Becky, Dr. Winslow, would you like me to stick around

311
00:50:29.420 --> 00:50:40.519
DTSD Webinars: your? The agreement is on the agenda tonight? So if you would like to stay until voted on that would be great. Thank you.

312
00:50:42.850 --> 00:50:43.560
Okay.

313
00:50:44.460 --> 00:50:58.130
DTSD Webinars: I would like to announce that the Board did meet this evening an executive session prior to tonight's meeting to discuss informational items. The Board also met in executive session on Wednesday, January 30. First to discuss personnel items.

314
00:50:58.470 --> 00:51:26.709
DTSD Webinars: We'll now have our first public comment period of the evening. This is an opportunity for residents and taxpayers to address the Board on matters related to the agenda. Citizens wishing to speak may do so either in person or electronically, if in person, a registration form may be found at the sign in table to complete and submit to board. Secretary, Mrs. Ag. When your name is announced, you'll then be able to come to the microphone. If you're participating online, you must have registered individually with your full name and address to be recognized and raise your virtual hand for recognition.

315
00:51:26.710 --> 00:51:36.960
DTSD Webinars: Once you're recognized, it is only necessary that you identify yourself by providing your full name as a reminder. Public comment is not a form for personal attacks, antagonistic behavior, or harassment.

316
00:51:36.970 --> 00:51:47.090
DTSD Webinars: Please be advised that you're accountable for any legal ramifications or liabilities resulting from statements which misrepresent the truth, defame individuals, or disclose personal information, not of public concern.

317
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:51.599
To provide other residents with an opportunity to speak. Each speaker during

318
00:51:51.870 --> 00:52:08.190
DTSD Webinars: is limited to 1 5 min of speaking time, 5 min period of speaking time once recognized during each public comment period. I will ask Mr. Rizzo Board treasurer to please keep time when necessary. The board may set a maximum maximum time for the public comment portion of any meeting.

319
00:52:08.420 --> 00:52:15.189
DTSD Webinars: This is Ag. Are there any residents or taxpayers who have registered to comment in person at this time. Yes, Jennifer, Slop, you like to speak. Okay.

320
00:52:19.370 --> 00:52:35.820
DTSD Webinars: thank you. I'm commenting on the Crabtree roar bar presentation. So we know the architect will build us a building that's Ada compliant. Of course he knows building standards for the American with Disabilities Act.

321
00:52:35.970 --> 00:52:41.649
DTSD Webinars: But the question I've asked a few times is actually a different question is.

322
00:52:41.690 --> 00:52:53.170
DTSD Webinars: how would the new building be inclusive of our special education students? Because a lot of them have invisible, visible, invisible disabilities which are not. Things are usually in building code.

323
00:52:53.670 --> 00:53:14.019
DTSD Webinars: And I just want to share like 3 specific examples. Try to explain what I'm talking about, things that I've personally encountered, which you know, this is just one person's experience, and but I also think it may be more broadly applicable. So the 3 specific barriers we have encountered have had to do with flexible seating

324
00:53:14.030 --> 00:53:19.190
DTSD Webinars: accesses the bathrooms and accesses to foods during the school day.

325
00:53:21.260 --> 00:53:22.219
DTSD Webinars: Excuse me.

326
00:53:22.380 --> 00:53:37.190
DTSD Webinars: so you know my kid was having very hard time in school one year, and I was told like he's just not comfortable here. So I was very grateful. The school allowed me to go and observe him in the classroom, because.

327
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:56.620
DTSD Webinars: you know, I really needed to see it, to understand what they were talking about. It was a really a great learning experience, and what I see is he is very uncomfortable, and he has needs is called sensory seeking needs like he's trying to get physical input to like help calm himself down.

328
00:53:56.620 --> 00:54:14.390
DTSD Webinars: So I asked the school he's doing. He does look uncomfortable, but he needs some outlet for his sensory seeking needs. And they're like, Okay, we'll do. We'll try a flexible seating we'll use, I think it's called a wobble chair. I'm like great wobble chair. Sounds good. Let's give it a try, and let's see if it makes anything better.

329
00:54:14.860 --> 00:54:19.269
DTSD Webinars: So I thought this was being offered, and then I go to

330
00:54:20.380 --> 00:54:24.280
DTSD Webinars: parent teacher conference in the same classroom, and I say, Oh.

331
00:54:24.330 --> 00:54:41.620
DTSD Webinars: where's my! Where's the wobble chair? I thought we had wobble chair. And no, it's not in the Gen. Ed. Class. So I find out. Well, it's only in the special Ed class, because he has to learn how to use the chair before we can put it into the Gen. Ed class. But just has been weeks. And

332
00:54:42.040 --> 00:54:45.460
DTSD Webinars: then I say, Okay, well, how are you using

333
00:54:45.490 --> 00:54:58.229
DTSD Webinars: learning to use the wobble chair? Can you send me a photo or a video of him using wobble chair? And the answer was, no, we can't do that, because that would violate student privacy, which.

334
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:04.660
DTSD Webinars: like, I don't know if you get seesaw like, I get photos of other people's kids all the time in my seesaw like.

335
00:55:05.240 --> 00:55:09.290
DTSD Webinars: So why can't have a photo of my own kid like? So

336
00:55:09.730 --> 00:55:13.360
DTSD Webinars: I mean, there has to the physical

337
00:55:13.590 --> 00:55:21.940
DTSD Webinars: like I saw the presentation. They put yoga balls in often. I think that's probably an example of flexible seating.

338
00:55:22.020 --> 00:55:39.240
DTSD Webinars: The Yoga Bit ball. Isn't there to be fun? It's because there's some kids who need to be moving to learn or having that sense of balancing themselves helps them to concentrate. It's not like it's a fun thing. It's like an integral part that helps them to learn.

339
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:52.569
DTSD Webinars: So the second point I have is access to bathroom. So when we move here it was the half day years. So my son, go all day, doesn't need a bathroom.

340
00:55:52.890 --> 00:56:18.379
DTSD Webinars: And then the next year we have some behavior problems. We have big issue. Eventually I talked to my kid. I figure out the problem is, he's not able to go to the bathroom all day, and that's causing behavior problems. So I have to go to the school and say, Hey, can my kid go to the bathroom? And this was actually something was really helpful to me. Also, whenever we had the elementary open house.

341
00:56:18.380 --> 00:56:43.800
DTSD Webinars: I ran into the boy's bathroom, and Dr. Winslow with my guide. She was like, what is Jen Sloppy doing? Because I went in there, and in the space I understood like why it was so uncomfortable for my son, because it's like the tile all around you is very echoey, and the flushing of the toilets is something he's always had trouble with. So like going into the space. I could really understand why this was a problem.

342
00:56:44.130 --> 00:56:49.550
DTSD Webinars: And then, later in the year, we had some other behaviour problem, and I talked to my son again like.

343
00:56:49.720 --> 00:56:56.450
DTSD Webinars: Look, I got you the bathroom like we figured that out. Now, what's the problem? You're like? Well, the toilet paper's too rough.

344
00:56:56.640 --> 00:57:04.079
DTSD Webinars: So when I go to the Giant grocery store and I take him a big pack of quilt of Northern that solves that problem.

345
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:09.189
DTSD Webinars: So like, there's solutions to these problems like our kids can be in the school.

346
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:19.080
DTSD Webinars: And II didn't get to my problems with food. But that's okay. I think you kind of understand, like what I'm trying to convey. That's

347
00:57:19.470 --> 00:57:32.290
DTSD Webinars: sometimes it just takes a little bit of accommodation for our kids to be in the schools, and you know I only speak for my own family. I you know I don't represent anybody else, and this is just my one person experience.

348
00:57:34.030 --> 00:57:35.530
DTSD Webinars: Thank you, Dr. Sophie.

349
00:57:37.150 --> 00:57:42.579
DTSD Webinars: Mrs. HG. Is there anyone else in person registered to speak no more. Not at this time.

350
00:57:45.220 --> 00:57:53.140
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Nicholson. Is there anyone online who wishes to participate in public comment? Not at this time? Okay, thank you.

351
00:57:53.150 --> 00:58:06.320
DTSD Webinars: And that will conclude our first public comment period. We'll move on to community correspondents. Report, Miss Carpel. Do you have a report for us, please? In the month of January. There were no community correspondence, so I don't have a report tonight.

352
00:58:07.770 --> 00:58:08.730
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.
