Um as well as the CTE administrative lead teacher will be updated as well. Uh I will be meeting with the G&BU leadership team next month to talk with
them about that process as well. Um all of this I just want I said this earlier I'll say it again. All of this involves a reassignment of existing administrators within the district to new roles. Uh and I will be uh issuing those reassignments in the next seven days uh and advising the local the

This is kind of the final leg of the reorganization we started several years ago and we consolidated to a one principal model. I'm sure there'll be
tweaks around the edges, but this is the last subsidive move uh that we envision as we implement the strategic plan we approved last summer over the next 5 years. So, I want to thank again the committee for their ongoing support through this process. I know that is difficult. I know that there'll be feedback and you know implementation
questions that arise um and and you folks have been steadfast as have the district leadership team and its implementation. So I'm grateful for everybody's uh support through that process. Thank you. Any other comments from the committee to vote?

motion to vote not to participate in school choice for the 2526 school year due being overs subscribed by the students from within the district. Second, you have a question as well, M. That was okay. Sorry. No, that's okay.
All right. So, we have a motion on the floor with a second. Are there any further questions? Okay. Hearing seeing none. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? So moved.
Uh item D will be a vacation day carryover policy review. Included in your backup material is a copy of the vacation day carryover policy and proposed options for discussion and your consideration. Um yield to superintendent. Thank you Mr. Olivera.
Um so as you may remember during the COVID pandemic uh the committee approved the extension of vacation days beyond the allotted numbers uh both in the employee handbook at the time as well as in the individual employment contracts of uh non-UN members. Since then in the
collective bargaining agreements specifically in unit C we've agreed to 15 vacation days of carryover. several uh employees within the district, despite their best efforts to do so given the operational demands, are still above the caps that were originally set
into place um in 2020. Um the that was scheduled to lapse in June of 2025. And so I wanted to bring this to your attention. I'm not asking the committee for action tonight on that. Uh but I wanted to give you the information. I mentioned this to the chair. I think there are a few options. Uh I I I
personally don't feel like folks should lose that time. It was a very stressful time in 2020 and 2021 in particular uh where vacation time was very difficult to use. Um and I'll I'll speak for myself but also for members of our team. You know they were here pretty much every day uh for that. I don't think I
took any vacation days in the 2020 2021 school year. So uh at least not in the summer and that made it a very difficult time for us to be able to to catch up. We also have some unit C members uh who have been here a long time and get four or five weeks vacation every year as well who are also caught in this
situation that now maybe even more so because they're limited to 15 days. I think our number is 50. So there's a little bit of a difference there. Um I so far every year that I've been in place here I have approved the carryover of those admin uh those vacation days for any employee with the notation every
year. I need you to try your best to continue to use all the time that you've earned without, you know, impacting operational efficiencies of the district. Um, in my opinion, folks have done that to the best of their ability. Uh, but we're now coming up against the June 30th, 2020. And so, I think I
mentioned this to the chair that the committee really has, in my opinion, I hope two viable options. Number one, they can choose to punt this to some date in the future, uh, 2026, 2027, 2028, whatever number that the committee deems appropriate, or two, if directed,
I've had PM run some some background work on how do we get everybody to their appropriate levels and compensate them for those days that are beyond that scope. And we would provide that information to you uh, in advance of the next meeting so you'd have that number in your packets to consider as well. But
I wanted to float it and take questions tonight that um my hope is that the committee can take this issue up either at its May or June meeting unless it's prepared to do something today uh so that we're able to act before the end of the the the uh school year. I can answer any questions that
members might have. So we'll open that up to the committee if you have further questions. We can at least discuss it tonight. when you do the balances on for C because back in 20 they would have had 15 and they would have carried over 15
and some had more than 15 right most I mean I I wasn't here so I mean so if I was here in 20 and I had 15 days and I didn't use them and then the following year I get another 15 my balance is 30 correct it would be understanding that I would use that time
at some point so what I'd like to know is like what's their max that they could carry for unit C. So, where they started, where they are now. Yeah, that'll give you the like how much have they really been using? Yeah, we can absolutely uh provide any employee on
the list that Pam's already created. We could provide you what with what they've used. We're happy it's it's full transparency with the I just want to see if they've made an effort. Yeah, I So, folks have made an effort. Folks have absolutely made an effort. Um I you know in the letter and I could provide
samples of the letters I've sent every year as well which is basically like a you know because the the first day was the problem. They had 15 in the bank let's say they earned 20 or 25 but we didn't we needed people here in the summer of 2020 in particular to try to figure out how we were going to be able to manage this. So they might have had
35 days. Maybe they used 10. They got down to 25 but then we got to 21 and they started racking the 20 up again. So now they were using their regular four weeks, maybe a fifth week, but never really able to to to get away at that. Right. And it's difficult because those people don't only work 10 months, right?
That's right. They're full year, right? They work school year. Uh no vacation acrewers are fully year employees. We don't have any school year folks that are earning vacation time. Uh that we that are of concern. I mean, I guess we compensate TAs and unit B with vacation, but that's all ironed out every fiscal
year. The issue is really uh maintenance and custodial uh teamsters uh unit C and non-UN ad administrators full year non-UN administrators. I'm not inclined I mean they may I'm not inclined to increase any up to 70 days
because that's three months of vacation. No. So if you take a week off it's not an unfunded liability. I agree with you. So with this you're growing an unfunded liability. Yes. I I said I would be inclined to increase the number. I would
choose to hold the 50, extend it another year and use it or lose it. Yeah. Should go along with that. I know I some of us are old enough local town had had a
superintendent at had the 200 days and that was a storm that nobody wants to face and I think as you mentioned you know I think there has to be some type of of a cap where you know even if you don't use it I hate to see them lose it
but you you've got to find time next year or some year to use it because you just can't keep adding 20 on so I I I do want to mention that I don't have the answer except the fact that I think we'll be kind to do it, but some of these people may have to say you've got
to take a day off a week in the next month or so because you're you're getting too dangerous in that high level because that's going to hit the p and you know what I'm referring to. I don't know if diamond as a business manager you don't
there's a limit there. So I agree. So I think we have to be aware that there's going to be eventually and even if they say well I couldn't use it then then you may have to lose that. So just the other option would be what about buying out that's that's so getting the figures on that but I was going to ask like the
public because I I hate to see people just lose it. Here's here's the thing here's and again it's not my vote which is why I'm presenting this to you. Right? So I absolutely agree with what Paul and Mike have said right the unfunded liability is what worries me. example, I I'll use myself. I'll talk about myself so I don't talk about anybody else. Every day is worth more
July 1st, right? So it doesn't make sense for the district to car allow folks to carry those numbers because they become more expensive for every employee with the district every single year. So I agree with that. My worry about the extension and I'm happy to execute that and and direct the staff is
it could impact operational efficiency. For example, if I tell the business administrator she needs to take one day off every week for the entire year, right? that that's what we're looking at in order for for some of us to get below that number. So I I just threw out there
is the committee willing to entertain buying out some of those extra days right now so we get them off the books before June 30th and keep the caps at the 50 days it currently is and 15 for the other employees. Let's see what the numbers look like. Sure. If we can get those two figures like we can get you
that information days and then the cost of those days. I think that'd be helpful to I just want you to have all that information and either way the cause I mean you were too generous with the vacation time and that may be too we don't see Mike all of next year you'll
see me I mean it is what it is [Laughter] [Music] just grocery shop I think that was some of the brief conversation we had as well is you know some of the co stuff is got to come to an end. Um so you got to put a cap on
it. I think the question is how we go about it. Um you know whether we buy out some, use some, buy it all, you know, combination of the two. Yeah, combination of the two. But um I think it sounds like you know everybody is kind of on the same page that it needs
to start to wind down and get back to some normaly. um we're already in 2025 and you know if you kick it down the road you know even two three years it's it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I will also push all unit C teamsters
and non-UN folks in this category to enter into the frontline system their anticipated vacation time between now and June 30th so that we get a very reflective number of what would be left on the books by June 30th. that way uh you know because there's definitely time
in the last week and a half that folks can use earned time um to try to get that number down before June 30th. But I just I I just wanted to kind of float that out there tonight and let you know that we'll get you all that information for the next meeting. I think some people might you know their time is valuable to them. They'd rather use the
time paid for it. So if they can find a way to do it y it doesn't hurt the district and that's an option. So all right, anyone else uh like to be heard on that topic? So, I think um sounds like you're in agreement that we'll table this until we
have uh additional information. Next will be um accept and acknowledge of the award of the GNBVT main lobby wall bid. back of materials is a copy of communication
informing of the bid award. Just want to grab one thing. I'm sorry. So, there were two bids received and I apologize that you did not receive that copy with the letter. Um, I didn't anticipate for this to be on this meeting. I anticipated it to be on the May meeting and I wasn't here last week
for the vacation I was using sometime. There you go. We received two bids. One being the Collins um construction company that was the low bid at 219,124 for the base wall project and
the alternate of columns being 234,321 for a total of 45345. The second bid was South Coast Construction with the base bid wall of 2621 191 and the alternative columns of
215979 totaling 478170. So Collins being the low bidder including the alternates uh was selected as the um construction company for the project. Can you just I don't know if I might
have missed it. um the scope of the work like basically what the main foyer lobby when you walk in the wall that goes from the floor all the way to the ceiling at the two entrances of the auditorium. Okay. That wall there um is going to be constructed with wood and have all of
the shop names listed on it including a new projection screen um to advertise and announce activities throughout the building for the students. I'll show you a picture is going to give us one minute. We'll get a picture up on there. what it will look like. That was my question
too. Is it okay? Yeah, I saw the Did I Did I miss something? You know, what are we awarding? We can get if we can get the materials and they can get it all done. One of the things. Yeah, I'll add I'll add to it. Part of it is even if we didn't do the alternate LED screen
that's going to be on the on the projector that's currently that's been there forever um is getting very expensive to repair anymore. Will not be a projector. there be led like the new screen we have out in the uh field house because right now we are in conversation
as far as material if they can receive in time. Okay. Excuse me. Yeah. Go ahead. Nice. That's what the front would hopefully it that's what 200,000 get you
the technology the technology is the technology separate separate separate separate bit that screen is is like the that screen is like the uh if you've seen the mobile one that we've used a little bit in the uh in the fieldhouse
it's an it's a LED light screen um 271 in diagonal Yeah, it it'll be the same size as what we have out there. So, that's what it will look like when it when it's done on the other side of the columns will be on the side. Um, you
know, kind of the beams going up too. Still entrances both sides into the Yeah, it won't affect the entrance. Won't affect the entrance. Be pretty. Yeah. I feel better spending the money. All the shops that are on there. Every
shop is on. So what happens when we change shops? You can change it. All right. And they can be replicated easy enough like to match. Yes. The names are not on the panel. These are um a placer on the board. They're
put on the panel, but it's not actually on the actual panel. So the panel stays. The panel stays and the names could come on and off depending if shops change name changes of shop programs. Yes, the names are removable.
Oh, that's worth it. That's going to be there for a while. Um, do we need to a motion to accept the motion on the base and option? I mean, that's what I was asking. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, because you're
once change and then the option is another 200,000 on top of that. We should Yeah, we should take a a That's all dependent on Cam said materials is we're working with the vendors the delays. We may get the materials and then have to hold. We're still trying to work through that because I don't if we
get the materials sometime in August, September, we're not going to be able to do that um while school starts because a lot of heavy machinery things we might get the materials and then find a way to store the materials and then move when we can. that that might happen. We're not there yet. We don't know. You have a lot of storage areas, too. Yeah. Well,
and it may it may require some off-site storage. It's a lot that's still to be determined. It it really depends on when the materials are going to arrive, but we just don't know that yet. So, is there So, the MO, if you want the motion, would it be the motion to award the base bid to Collins Construction and
give you the option to exercise? That's right. The authorization alternate. Yep. I think that would work. Okay. Accept the acknowledgement, right? I I think that it's perfectly fine if the committee accepts if the committee
accepts the bid and authorizes us to act on its behalf on the option on that option. That would absolutely work. The ultimate we're not awarding it. We're just accepting the you're you're acknowledging receipt of it. The bid award. You're acknowledging the bid award and authorizing the district administration to to act if the or
however you want to work. Motion, I mean, our plan is going to be to try to make this happen one way or the other. We are concerned. I want to be upfront. We are concerned about this the timing of materials. Um, and we did have some conversation today. I was never today, but I did speak to Zeb about, you know, Pam had an idea of purchasing the
materials right now while we have the funds to do so and then looking at storage opportunities to be able to deploy that. if we can't get it done before school starts that we would have to wait probably until the end of the next school year to to complete that because uh we're not going to be able to do a two to three week project during the school year, right? It's just too
much noise, too much distraction, too much equipment in the foyer to be that would be safe for kids. So, it may be something that we have to wait on, but they may not hold their price for a year. That's where we're we're still we're in that conversation with them. Yeah,
we don't know that. Yeah. All right. So, we have a motion on the floor uh to accept the accept and acknowledge the award going to Collins Construction Company. Do we have a second? Second. Okay. Mike,
Mr. Shay, you second. Uh any further discussion on it? Okay. Hearing seeing none, I'll call for the vote. All those in favor? I. Anyone opposed? So moved. And just under informationational
capital improvement plan for fiscal 26. Yeah. At the request of uh member Kitchen, we tried to put together a capital improvement plan that encompassed a lot of the projects around the strategic vision that we're looking at. Obviously, this far exceeds the total cost of 1.5 million. uh we are
prioritizing different uh programs within this um in in an effort to uh continue our upkeep of the vision uh of the instruction needs of the district. So um we tried to list as many things that are on the radar right now as possible. Obviously we're going to do as
many as we possibly can uh in the next year. We do not envision completing the entire list for obvious reasons. uh the amount of money expected exceeds uh available uh revenue, but I wanted folks to be able to see at least what we were thinking about uh and some of the things
that we will be doing. Certainly willing to and if not tonight at any point in the future entertain any questions that the committee has about any of these projects. Any other notes from the committee? All right. Well, we do have our student representative here. Is there anything
you'd like to share? Um, I know not specifically on the agenda, but certainly like to acknowledge you. I'm sorry. No, I actually kind of had a long report because I missed the last meeting, so I don't know if it today. I didn't know if you were prepared for that. So, no. Go ahead. No, I actually
Okay. So, I'll start back in like uh March a little bit. So, the class of 2027, the sophomores had a dine in fundraiser at Cask and Pig with Bingo night on um March 18th. And then a few days after, Mr. Voke Tech was hosted on Friday, March 21st. And as a host of
that night, it was like it was amazing and successful night. And we all made many memories. And the winner of Mr. Voke was Vinilson Andred and the winner of people's choice was Joe Costa. And then in April, uh we had our spring uh spirit week. Division one had theirs
April 4th, 7th, and 8th. And division 2 had theirs the 9th, 10th, 11th. Um following with our um oh the themes for that was just as Adam Sandler, dress as your favorite music artist, and Minions Day. Um following that, we had our spring fling and Miss VTEC. It was
hosted on the Saturday, April 10th, and the theme was masquerade. Um and actually Mr. Vtech Venilson, he got to DJ the dance and show off his talent to the rest of the members in the school. And the winner of Miss Voke Tech was Kiwi Lopes and the winner of people's choice was Alyssa Levitri. And they were
both announced that night as well. And then something a little different, the Division 2 AP literature class hosted a Scottish play, McBTH, on April 15th in the auditorium from 9:45 to 10:45. And I sent invites to administrators and teachers. And every seat in the
auditorium was filled. We even had kids sitting on the floor, teachers standing around. And it was just amazing. And we really enjoyed putting on the play to like inform and entertain the school with Shakespeare's work. And our feedback from teachers and students is positive. So it was like a nice thing
that we did. And then um before vacation, we had our multicultural week celebration from Monday, April 14th to Thursday, April 17th. On Monday, we had like a live DJ, a 360 photo booth, and community resource tables. The next day
we have we had live art experience with multicultural painters. And then on Wednesday, we had an African drumming performance. And then our last day, we had a schoolwide assembly featuring Wanog singers and dancers. And then over spring break, the travel club went to Portugal from April
17th to 26. And I went on the trip with them. And it was it was like fantastic. Well, we experienced like multiple seasons of weather. It was it was a hell of a trip. And it was huh? Yeah. No, it was Porto, the northern cities. It was
like raining. It was like hurricane. And then we went more southern and it was just like '9s like Florida. It was we experienced both sides. But it was absolutely amazing. We met new people. We created like close bonds and lots and lots of memories. And I just want to acknowledge um these three teachers,
Miss Harrison, Miss Hagerty, and Mr. Gonzalez. And they did really a fantastic job making sure all the students were safe and together and enjoyed their time while also learning a lot about the Portugal's history and culture. And then I'll wrap this up with the class of 2025. We had quite a few
amount of fundraisers with Kau's Kitchen um restaurant every Thursday from April 17th to May 8th and Tquita La Raza restaurant from uh every Wednesday in April. We had a Chipotle fun uh dining in um on April 26th and the Big Gold Athletics cookie fundraiser starting
March 3rd to the 21st. And then lastly, our after prom is now hosting an event for that's called Roses for seniors. So underassmen get to like purchase a rose or several and write a little message and then before the seniors sign out we'll receive those roses and like have a little memory. But that concludes of
my report. Thank you. Nice job. Thank you very much. I got home just before the blackout. Good time to go. I know. We made it back just in time. I guess they went 10 hours without electricity or anything. It was
insane. Crazy. Just as an FYI, how was the trip uh as far as um the organizational part of it? Did I mean did everything flow pretty well for you? Yeah, everything was pretty One of our concerns obviously, you know, for future trips. Yeah, of course. No, I believe everything went um smoothly. It was just
um the first few days like with the like weather, we had to like change some events cuz we couldn't do it. And it was also around Easter and lots of things were like closed, so we had to switch a few things up. But we had like Portuguese tour guides and everything like still went smoothly.
