the meeting with a brief moment of silence or prayer and the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag. No one is required to participate or be present for any of these and being in this portion of the meeting is completely voluntary. Caleb, you have the prayer and pledge this week.
All right. Thank you. If we b our heads. Uh Lord, we're just so thankful to be here, so thankful to to be able to look at these uh this information and try to do what's best for our district. We just ask father that you give us wisdom uh and you help us to follow after your will Lord that we would do what's in the
best interest of these students to set our our thoughts aside and Lord and just to be able to do the things that are going to lift up this district. We thank you for all that you're doing. We ask for your wisdom again this evening in Jesus name. Amen.
And I have a very special guest leading us in the pledge this evening. That would be Miss Don Williams and she will be taking us off. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. First up, we have the agenda. Give you just a moment to take a look at that and if anybody's got any questions or comments.
I have a question. Yes, Miss Rosales. And I'm Dr. S. I apologize in advance for not asking you and I'm asking you in front of the cameras. Um, but I got some questions in regards to the school funds.
So, for like I'm just I'm just going to take just picking one, not because I'm picking at this, but let's say there's um a coach or a non a coach or assistant coach and it says uh school funds football. I was under the impression
that was a separate fund. It's not necessarily the operational funds that comes from what we get from TISA and correct things like that. That is totally separate funding that the schools get that we it's what they've raised themselves. Exactly. It's what raised. Thank you. I
just wanted that to be said because I was getting some questions about that. And just know that that does it is on top of whatever their normal statement is that it's approved as part of our salary schedule. This is what clubs are paying or sports on top. Okay. But I think not our it's not county money. It's all
money. It's fun. It's all Yes. But I think because it said school funds, um I I was asked some questions about that and I just wanted to make it get the clarification of where that funding came from. Okay. Thank you. Sorry. Any other questions? Yes.
Yes. I'm not smart to shed, but over here where it says uh you know it say Stewart Creek High School school funds band. My sister was in the band. But what in
the world is that where it's got competition? What? Adjudication. Adjud. Yeah. What is that? It's for their competition. Judging. Judging. Mhm. And it's not to exceed that amount. And so they go above that amount. They have to come back. But these are the people
that are there working. So that's a good That's a good lesson there. So if you if you paying if you paying the judges, you ought to do pretty good, right? Hope so. Okay. Any other questions? Yes, Mr.
I'm guessing we're discussing the consent. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Um, just because I'm curious, Dr. Svin, can you speak a little bit to the special education employees and how would were they not included in like the coding that y'all had to provide and stuff?
They were like the state didn't. Yes. So, great question. So, these are 101 special education employees. So they were included on the list that we sent to the state but the state they they meet all the qualifications. The way that our special education staff
is if they were best way to explain it if they were assigned to one school then they received a bonus. But if they let's say the school psychologist served two or three schools because the school was smaller there was their central office employee and so the state removed those
people from getting the payment. So they're on the list we sent but then so you had half of the group receiving it and then the other half not. Uh we missed our appeal window with the state. They sent it in the middle of July with the beginning of July 4th of July week to appeal. And so Dr. Rston, Dr. Bian
worked to be able to use some of our federal carryover funds to be able to make sure that we got that taken care of. Wow. Well, I appreciate y'all doing that for them. That's crazy. No, because you look at it. it it's a large mixture of people and that was the frustrating part to some let's just take
behavior teachers some behavior teachers got it some didn't and it was strictly based on how we had in place so that didn't seem fair yeah um the other question can you remind me again the title three funds can be spent in what on what in what areas
it is all English is a second language and so this is a continuation of what the board approved last meeting we had approved teachers to be able to teach the classes. This is adding EAS. And so we had a couple questions. So I'm just going to read what title three of the funding application states.
Okay. And so the funding application asks, describe how the LEA will provide implement effective activities and strategies that enhance or supplement language instruction, educational programs for English learners, which shall include parent, family, and
community engagement activities as required under ESA 3115Z3. And so it is part of our application that we have to include. Going back as Miss Turbo, our ESL coordinator to go back in E plan, we have this
continuation since at least fiscal year 20, which would have been a 2019 school year. And we had lots of schools last year. This year we have two. So So we have less schools this year. Yeah. Because title three is one that is
not guaranteed for the future. We have the funds for this year. Okay. And so if we have additional funds like we did last year adding several in the spring and we may come back and do that and add that in the spring, but it is a program that we're watching to see what happens to title three funds not for this current year but next f this school
year. And is this the first time um we're going to be doing a program like this one or this is one we have been doing for again at least since 201920. Okay. say smrna primary from my notes
comes in and out of what we have smrna primary but smrna elementary we've used smmyrna high school we've used last year we had roy water and stew crews here grow lake and a large number of others as well are there any other uh questions
regarding the consent agenda kind okay let's move on to Rutherford proud that'll Thursday. That'll be Thursday. I'm excited to meet them. And then we have the RCS strong staff awards Thursday as well.
And tonight we have a guest speaker, Representative Mike Sparks would like to meet with us and present his proposal. You have the floor, sir. Thank you, Chair Chair Lady. Thank you,
members, and Dr. Sullivan. Needless to say, being on school board is a tough job. I was quoting the paper about two years ago saying, "I don't know why anybody want to serve on school board, and it's one of the toughest jobs out there in the
Tennessee printed my comments." But, um, it's probably tougher now than it was 10 years ago, 30 years ago or 50 years ago. But speaking of tough jobs, one reason I want to speak here is about, uh, school bus drivers and the challenges that they that they have. Uh, you know, I was here
last year present this legislation, House Bill 84, uh, which I think can help alleviate some of the crisis that we see a shortage of drivers. Uh, Tennessee, people may not know, Tennessee is the most restrictive in the nation to drive a school bus. And you might think, how in the world could
Tennessee be the most bureaucratic state in the nation to drive a school bus? We're also the most restrictive in the world. and someone was welcomed the fact that more restricted than Cuba, Russia, Iran, and other other countries. And really where this stem from was that
that terrible bus crash in Chattanooga where six children lost their lives. That um that guy that was driving the school bus, I'll argue in the driving school bus. They had many multiple complaints from students, from parents, from u other drivers um about
his reckless behavior. And um sadly somebody should have intervened before those six students lost their lives. But the state of Tennessee in in their infinite wisdom, their idea was it simply change the age to 25. The guy was
24. Um and the challenge with this bill, you know, we pass on the on on the house side. Um I don't want to leave no stone stone unturned going into session next year. and I could wait till January to try to meet with y'all, but we go so fast as y'all know. Um it failed the the
the Senate by just one simple vote. And um the we worked it a lot harder on the House side and um I probably shouldn't have took for granted that it was going to be okay on the Senate side, but um David Settles, who drives the school
bus, who's u I believe vice chairman of Marshall City School Board, just got off the phone with him. He couldn't be here tonight cuz he had his own meeting. He's in support. He's he testified on this bill. And um uh also TSBA, I just got off Ben Torres.
They looked at the resolution day. They're in support. And I'm hoping that I can get a affirmative vote from y'all maybe at your next board meeting. And then take this to the county commission because when I go before that chairman and remember, I'm undoing the chairman's bill. Both chairman of transstation,
that was their bill changing the eight. So that's the challenge is I'm undoing their bill. And I'm also going against the Department of Safety. Um, which is very disappointing uh with uh with them, which that's a whole another issue. Uh, for the record, their customer service
reviews is 1.6. Comcast is 1.8, you know. Seriously, I mean, you can't get no worse than than Comcast. I shouldn't say that on camera, but it is. But that's the state of Tennessee. That's very frustrating, you know. Um,
anyways, um, that's simply what it is. And I want to thank Representative Robert Stevens for amending it because originally it was 21, but we went to 23 to try to appease some of folks. Um, and these people are really sure. They're really smart. And what they did, they just done a an end around us and went to
the Senate and it lost about one vote. So, you have a copy of the resolution. It's pretty simple. Um, and uh, I've also reached out to Beacon Center, who's a free market think tank, for their support. I'm hoping this will be one of their key issues for next year. But I
also appreciate all the feedback that I've gotten from from board members u from other staffers and from uh Dr. Sullivan and also drivers who have reached out to me as well. But that's simply what this what this resolution is. Miss Maxwell. Yes, Mr.
I just like to add a little bit to what you said. It is the most restrictive, but even at 23, it would still be the most restrictive state in the United States. So, I did a little bit of research on that. Yet, you brought it to me and mentioned some different things. Um, even if you brought it on 23, it
still be the highest. Uh, which that is a compromise. I understand what you're going that would bring in some more to the fold. Also, I think it's important u to look at this from a different angle of not just the age and being the most restrictive, but also that there is an aging out of bus drivers and that we are
going to have to have a flow if we want that to not be a crisis in the future. you need to really think about because a lot of young people um they start making kind of having a career decision well before that 25 you know they're into jobs 18 19 20 21 term of their career
and it's they're not going to turn around to drive the bus if they've already started on the pathway so I support this resolution um and I think it'll be good for us to look at it and even if it passes at 23 if it passes at 21 school districts can still decide you
know individually they want to make they can make it more restrictive, but lowering it would give a little bit more help to districts that need it, including ours. M. Yes, Mr. Rosales. Thank you. Um, Representative Smarts, um, is do can you
speak into why did the safety department agree to increasing the age limit to 25? Is there a reason why? Well, it was over that Chattanooga bus crash and it's a very sensitive issue. Sure. uh one of the chairman, he's from
that area, so you can imagine six deaths, multiple families um who I'm sure are calling him that don't want this bill passed. Um but you know, my argument is that that that young man shouldn't have dropped a school bus. someone had intervened and uh and really
disappointed Tennessee for that was their solution was to a to change the age and um it's disappointing but the you know government's going to disappoint you especially state government sometimes you know I'm sure some of y'all get disappointed
well the reason I'm asking is because just to see from providing context as to the reason why it was increased if there was like data after the or something. But anyways, I do see a need
to try to increase the pipeline because there is shorter shifts. Even Wilson County right now is looking into changing their bell times and starting and ending because and staggering the times because they are they have they're
in a worse shape than we are and they have severe shortages when it comes to bus driver. and they've been dealing with this for at least two years now. Yes. Um and then with us, we had some unfulfilled routes that we didn't have
drivers and even the beginning of this year when we started, we had some issues with contractors finding bus drivers and one contractor had to give up the rout the contract because he couldn't find the bus contractor, I mean the bus
driver. So, I'm in favor of increasing the pipeline. It see this seems to help with that with increasing the pipeline. Have you I know you spoke with David Settles. Yeah. Have you spoken to other bus drivers?
Yes, I have. Clarissa Smith. Okay. Um Cindy Fton who I went to school with. She I stay in touch with her and some other drivers as well. Everyone seems to be in support. Um, but going back on the the argument uh who are better drivers,
the older ones or younger ones? I mean, that kept coming up. There's a representative Low Russell, great guy, former state trooper. He was hurt really bad in a in a in a trooper collision on the side of I believe it was I40 if I'm not mistaken. And he got me the data
that supports that the the the really the driving problems are usually from the older drivers, not the younger drivers. And I know that can get a little controversial sense, but he has the data. We present the data. David witnessed that data and so did the
Tennessee Department of Safety as well. And I know with us with the county, we have a two-year purgatory period. So just because they get to contract, you have to be a driver for two years under someone.
So um so what would you like for us to do? Well, uh, anything dealing with with school bus that we could help. I know I talked to to to Stan the other day after some drivers reached out to me about the the vetted process and the background checks. I reached out to TBI. They said
they're pretty fast on the the the response. But if there's areas there that we can help with the state, let us know to to uh because the driver an owner called me that was going to hire somebody. By the time all the information got back, they they said they couldn't wait. They went back and start driving over the road. So, if
there's process in place we need to work on, um, I'll be happy to file a caption bill for next year that could that could help any. But what would you like us to do as a I guess this would be on your agenda Thursday night. Is that right? Okay. Do do you want us to support the rest of
Yeah. Just pass resolution because when the school boards really pull a lot of weight. I mean, people don't like to go against their school boards. They don't like to go against our county commission. So, if I have a resolution in support that helps me. My delegations are very supportive. Um, but it's it's the Chattanooga that area right there.
Um, and the chairman's bill that we're undoing and then I have the Department of Safety that's actively working against this. Um, and just remind you their customer service ratings is 1.6 out of five. So, they have an F. That's an F. You know, no business would survive uh with that type of customer
service level. And no business would be this bureaucratic on drivers and survive in the in the marketplace. So now if y'all just simply yes or no and I'll for the county commission I don't know is who do y'all have a llayison on that goes to the commission is that is there
on and it goes our leaison he's our leaison I'm sorry but so this is the resolution yes ma'am to vote for Yes ma'am if that's on your agenda Thursday that's good we'll take it up Thursday yes that
okay t uh Mr. Tidwell first and then I'll get you both I promise Mr. Yeah, I was just going to say about that particular incident which is very sad incident but the punishment I shouldn't say punishment the law doesn't match like the crime because as I was reading about it he was speeding and on a cell
phone so I mean that was what the issue was you think you would have like more restrictive consequences for people being on their cell phones while driving rather than just raising the age just didn't make sense to me and it it doesn't align with what's going on around the rest of the nation I don't think we just have the worst young drivers in the nation so didn't make a
whole lot of sense to Yes, Miss uh Sharp. Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, Representative Sparks, would you mind emailing us that information that you got from the state trooper so we can Oh, yeah. The D. I sure can. Yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Darby. Good to see you.
Thank you for coming. Um, I was actually just going to ask the same thing, Sharpton. Um, as long as it doesn't increase risk, it sounds like it would be favorable for our county. So, I would be interested to look at that data. Okay. I'll get to Thank you. Thank you. and thank you for coming about this. Thank y'all. All right, y'all have a
great night. And next is public comments. We don't have any tonight will be Thursday. Next, we have instruction and Dr. Sman is going to present the middle school resoning review. Yes. So, just a reminder because we do have two new board members who weren't
part of this. So, this is what was approved in the winter of 2023 and the board has a copy of this and then we'll have it displayed as well. No changes need to be made right now. We're being requested. This is just for our review as we go into RSP so that everyone knows
kind of what our our timeline is. We'll review this tonight. RSP will have our data set on Friday is their date. They'll pull our data set enrollment numbers. Then they will take that and coordinate new proposed changes based on
what has changed over the last two years since this was passed. and they'll present to us on November 4th. We'll have a work session. We'll have a month to get input from the board community, the principles as well, and then pass it in December, right around the same time
that we're native to principal for the schools, what we usually like to to do for this to go into effect. There's a couple things I just wanted to review real quick. John, if you pull this up. I think it's page 30. Yeah, it's on what I emailed you to.
Oh, okay. Never mind. We'll go over I'll go over that again on Thursday. So, what the board has in front of me is what if you can pull up it is. Yep. That one. So, this is what the board approved back in 2023. The board has a copy from the
presentation of November of 2023. There's a couple areas that we know that we're going to have to shift and I'm going to read you all some new enrollment numbers based on what was projected versus where actual enrollment is. And and I'll email this to everybody, too. Blackman Middle School
right now is at 1,777 students. They were projected to be at 1,731. Christian Middle is at 1051. They are projected to be at 1,119. Lever middle is at 1,62.
They are projected to be at 1239. So Lever's dropped the last two years. Oakland Middle is at 1239. They were projected to be at 1084. So they've grown. Rock Springs Middle is at 1131. They were at 1276.
Rockville Middle 1642 projected at 1683. Rocky Fork Middle was exact 882 to 882. Seagull Middle was almost exact 1209 to 1202. Smyrna Middle was close 886 to
9:15. Stewart's Creek Middle was close 1087 to 1057. Witworth is still small 780 and they were projected to be at 931. And so pretty close overall. So we know that we're have to shift some things. The ones that we definitely are going to
have to look at is Rockville Middle and Blackman Middle. those schools based on what we approved in 2023. It was dropping black and middle to around 1250 and Rockville Middle was staying around
1,600. And so Rockville Middle does not have annex. They do have additional classrooms. They don't have additional gym, additional bathrooms. Black Middle does. That is going to push some traditional Rock Bell families back to Blackman where they were before we opened Rockville Middle and Rock Bell
High. The other part to look at is possibly the downtown area. We split up the downtown for high schools. That may be something we need to look at. This zoning proposal is different and it puts most of downtown between Witworthan and
Oakland, which is where it was when those two schools opened, but we have shifted it since then to incorporate Rockville Christian black men and seagull. So we may need to look at that. The problem is that Oakland Middle has enrollment capacity
above 1500 and so they're in and seagull middle 20 25 kids of each other and Oakland Middle has the handbooks and so you're taking previously seagull parents and moving them to Oakland Middle and send them back to Seagull High School. I
don't love that but we it's what we dealt with and we have the high school portions as well. We have to get more students to Oakland with that index. And so you've gota take them from somewhere, but if you take them from Witworth, that is our smallest middle school. And so usually it's going to have to come from
that seagull side or downtown. And right now we have is the downtown here. So just a couple areas that we're going to have to to look at. Nothing outside of those two areas. this wasn't get passed with the board and that motion did say six months before
implementation that we would go back and review. And so we'll have the data analysis. Those are just the ones that looking at them kind of stick out. You all have a presentation that says recommended middle schools that was 2627. That's what was passed. Then you have the middle school and high school
projections on the next sheet. And again, this is two years old. And they do have Blackman Middle at like 1325 but leaving Rockville Middle at 1488. And so just too big in Rockville. Dr. Sman. Yes.
Um I know RSP is probably make some recommendations, but I understand what you're saying about Seagull going to seagull then transferring Oak back to Seagull. Um what about shifting from the south? If you said Whitworth is one of the more open schools, one of the
smaller schools and Christian is a little overflowed. Can Christian shift with some Witworth shift up toward Oakland Middle and then shift a little bit to to Witworth? You could. You're what we're going to run into is a little bit of the
demographics of poverty level. We're going to have to watch if it, let's just say Oakland Middle, for example, goes all the way over to John Brad Highway. Now you have Oakland taking all of the downtown area because right now we have you click on
20 24 25 so you can see how we have split up right now and then click off of 26 27 you see right now we have downtown split between multiple schools and already Oakland's taken a large section of that.
Oakland is growing because of the new developments off of Highway 96 towards Las Casses, but not enough that we there's no way that I could recommend logistically to have Seagull Middle School with all those portables and have just three miles down the road open
seats. And that's that's where we are right now. We call them the colleges and seagull. with the reservations. Even with the new middle school opening, that's not going to relate much for Seagull. No seagull students are going
to have to shift over to Oakland, which was part of the discussion when Oakland Middles annex opened, but the board at that time chose not to, and so we are left. Okay, we'll see what the recommendations are. And what year did they receive their
hands? 819. Open middle annex would have been 2019. That's about right. Somewhere in there last year. Okay. But just for discussion, we have some decisions to make around middle school
and we'll probably need to shift a little bit of that steward to branch chapel zone as well once we're looking at this for the elementary school. What are the numbers for the Stewart Creek? I can pull it up when we're talking about other stuff.
Okay. Can you pull these questions? Anybody else? This is not going to be easy. Never is with zone, but at least we should celebrate that we're going to do middle school. That's right. Yes, Mr. Long.
the the the one observation I would make just looking at these absolutely where we're headed from being involved with the school bus is also this is the reason my mind's on this is from a logistic standpoint from
a transportation standpoint our choke point in this county is I24 and so I I believe anything we can do to keep schools on one side or the other
will in the long term help parents, will help school bus transportation, will help drivers, will help the overall traffic flow in this county. So I I I I appreciate and we need to try to balance
and utilize every state we see seat we can but I do think that the public would appreciate they would give us a little grace you know to deviate from that ideal you know dollar for dollar student for
student in every facility. I think they would just to say transportation, just to say traffic in the morning, traffic in the air. That's just an overall observation I would say. I would throw in Yeah. fundamentally and I I would agree. But
if we move the scoot up a little bit, sorry, go north a little bit. If we were to remove move all the let's use I24 and take that blackman middle section out between 840 all the way down to old for
there's no way to do some of them because then Seagull would have to take them. Yeah. And can I ask when we open Popler Hill Middle or potentially whatever the name of the school's going to be? What number do you feel comfortable with opening with it?
Because that's kind of close to a thousand. Okay. It needs to be. So that definitely will take from Blackman Middle and then Rockville's going to have to shift over. Okay. Um, looking at some of Rockville to get enough students, you're going to have to look almost where is you're
looking at in the case of light. You're going to have to pull back into Black, which it was forever ago, but it's been a long time since that's Yes, msuming. And I'm hoping that they have Do you know if they have done research or gone back out to see what
Oh, they have. Okay. He's here again. I think he's he's here already because I I meet with him tomorrow to go over some things, too. Okay. So, yep, they've been here. It's It's brightening still two years later. Yep.
Any other questions? And this is what we're going to be discussing at the retreat. Yes. Yes. So, this is just preliminary information. Just uh we have two board members who weren't on board when we passed this. just wanted this back out to the public again. And then we as well for every school that
is potentially impacted by the reszone. We're going to put a kind of like Murphy'sboro city. We're going to steal it from them. We're going to put a a yard sign in each one of those schools. This school is impacted by potentially impacted by reszoning. Good. So they'll know that truly should
not be an excuse that nobody knew. Well, thank you. Excellent. Okay, there's no other questions. We will move on to number two. This is David Yur in Leverne Lake Elementary. They're requesting to partner with Better Lessons for professional development plan throughout
the 2526 school year. Expeditionary Learning or EL, which is our current English language arts adoption for elementary schools, and Better Lessons will work with our administrators and teachers from both faculties to improve instruction using our tier one curriculum. The plan will include an in-person baseline learning walk with administrators, provide inperson
workshops with teachers, and inerson learning walks in the building. Funding for this plan will not exceed 60,500 for the two schools and is coming from title one. Okay, any questions? This is being requested by myself and our instruction department. So, this is
something we're pushing at these two schools. Okay. Number nine, engineering and construction. Number nine, this is city of Leverne and Walron Road realignment request. The city of Vern's working to realign and widen Walter Road at Rock Springs Elementary. JMT Property Services
represents the city of Vern and the purchase properties for the Walter Road widening project. Proposal includes several different parts of land for RCS including 9700s of an acre for permanent slope utility easements 7600s of an acre and temporary construction easements of
1.34 acres. The offer is 215,595 and is based on value for the property at 75,000 per acre. There's a bonus if signed within 30 days to add $21,560 for a total of $237,160 infrastructure to be the request and has
no objections training going to add to that because I know we've been working on this for a while. It's been a pretty good while John. You pull up those slides I sent you. I'm not going to bore you with the
an inch of documentation that is part of what you've been provided. I have pulled out a couple of things just to call your attention to. Uh the first two pages are the appraisals report. It tells you the intended use, the description of the
land acquired, that kind of thing. And basically that tells us those um acreages that were a part of the motion or what is referenced here. The second page shows you the drawing from Reagan and Smith. The five areas, area one,
two, and and three, and then up at the top is four. Where those areas are, they're actually, and I don't want to use the term flattening, but that's pretty much what they're doing. They're taking some of that curve out where the pond in front of the school is, and basically they're going to use it.
That's the biggest portion that they're purchasing from us. is basically from the pond to the existing road. A lot of drawings, documents, surveys, that kind of thing. The next slide that I pulled out there, again, this is where this
would be the southernmost point going toward Rock Springs Road. Uh that yellow temporary construction ement, that is our current entrance to give you kind of a map of where we are. And the blue is
is permanent easement. That that's what they're purchasing for the road. The green is uh slope easement, meaning they have to change the elevation and they're purchasing that permanent. Then yellow is temporary. Um the next page would be
going on to the next section. That's where you would see the largest area, that blue area, that's what they would be purchasing from us. Uh the others are either temporary or permanent slope easements. Next page, John. There again,
that gets us on up. That's Lake Road to the top where you see the green kind of orient you as to what they're doing. That elevation is going to change drastically while the road stays in the same location. It's going to drop about 15 to
17 feet, which is going to require utility relocations. And that's part of why they've got some of the temporary construction entrances that easements that they have because they got to relocate water lines. There's been a lot of conversations between their designer,
the city of Leverne and us on how they will keep water and gas and sewer to the bu to our building while this goes on. There's some new services that are being provided that that is coming from the
Williamson County side of Lake Road. There's some new subdivisions that are tied into Lake Road and they're basically bringing those services back to us from the backside. So, there's been a lot of work there. Next slide, John.
Uh the next slide is basically that's where you turn in off of Lake Road to the as I call it the side parking lot. uh where the headex and all it is. That's the work there. There again, same thing. Yellow is temporary. Green is
permanent is the permanent slope easements. Blue is property, but just a sliver there. But then the permanent drainage easements, meaning they're going to put some pipes and things up the ground. And also that's part of the water line things that they'll be relocating as well.
The next slide I had for you is kind of how they came up with their 75. And all their properties that they utilized and all the sales of the properties around us are all in this document. So that you can find all these numbers and how they
came up with the $75,000 per acre. It's also on that page at the bottom right there. The next page is basically that I pulled out for you is uh there again they counted trees things that they we lost
that they have to put back. It's all part of the evaluation that they've asked for. Next page, John. This is basically the summation of how they determined the the land at $75,000
an acre. uh my notes on the side just to help you as you looked at those first few documents 0 97.35 point41 and 1.34 that is 215
$600. Then the last page that we have as part of this slideshow is where they provide all of the breakdown. It is their official offer that shows the $21,000 additional funds if this is signed
within 30 days. All of these documents and many many more are part of your packet. Uh Mr. Reid has reviewed all of these documents. If you have any legal questions, he would be happy to answer those. But
based on the market, based on what they're doing, personally, I think it's a fair offer. Yes, Mr. Darby. I'm just curious looking here the it says this offer includes payment for the following improvements the oak trees
driveway and light poles. So are they going to be replacing those or they're giving us the money for them and then we have to replace them. Okay. It just sounds weird worded that way. Any other questions? Do you know when they're going to start
all of this soon? there. It's out for bid. It's fixing to be out for bid soon. It's a three-year project. [Music] It's not going to be fun from a transportation standpoint for a couple of years.
Thank you, Mr. Children. Next, we have number two, school nutrition. School nutrition job description revision. School nutrition department's updating the current position list as a field manager to align with the current role. The position has been listed as a field manager. performing the duties of commodities and contact specialist.
Nutrition has drafted a job description that's in line with the current duties assigned to this position. It's not a request to add a position, change, funding, salaries, anything. Just a updated job description. Any questions? Okay, next we have director's update. But that's
I will do an academic performance presentation. It'll just be growth and what we know is out there already because report card information is later but want to go over what TBOS is, how it's calculated and our performance so everyone has a a good baseline.
Okay. Next we have general discussion and I just want to say something. A couple of weeks ago, I said something about highlighting different people and different former students of ours. And being the big ball fan that I am, I was
keenly fixed on at the game for the Georgia game. And I want you to know that there are four young men from Rutherford County on Tennessee's team, although they were not victorious. go. Uh but uh uh Dwayne Morris from Oakland,
Caleb Herring from Riverdale, and Aaron Carter for Smyrna did us proud. They were wonderful. And uh I also want to call out the gentleman who he goes to MTCS, but Mr. Jesse Perry is starting on the line as freshman. So Rutherford County has got a very good reputation
for sports and it was really good to see them all out there. So I just want to say that real quick. Yes, Miss Shark. Thank you. Um, I don't see Mr. Evans here. Uh, but today we had a huge sponsorship announcement. Uh, and I would like to thank the following
people. I'm just going to name the companies because if I start naming names of people, I'm going to forget somebody. So, DeWalt, Northern Tool and Equipment, Milwaukee, and Harley-Davidson. This is a huge project for our welding department. So, what
their assignment is is they're they've given them a motor, but they're going to have to build the frame. So, when they build the frame in June, I believe it's June 12th of next year, they're going to race the bike at the motorsports park in
Lebanon. So, uh Kyle Petty was there, some very notable people. Um there's people from Harley-Davidson's that's going to help them do a lot. This is this is a once in a-lifetime opportunity for our students at lewalt
and the others gave I would say probably more than $5,000 worth of equipment. They left with our CTE um expositions full of equipment and they also gave our students a gift card
for $50 to spend at Northern Tool. So you guys, please, the public, reach out to them and show them some love. Go spend some money down there or something because this is the third project that Harley-Davidson and Richard Peying has done. And it's um it's going to be
incredible for our kids, an incredible experience, and um I'm so proud of our Leverne High School. And I'm proud that Jason Bowers answered my phone call two plus years ago to come and start the welding program. He was um some of you
may know he was our archery coach at Blackman. Both of his daughters were on the archery team and they I think they went to state champion that year, state to state that year. Um but this is this is this is incredible y'all. There was a lot of people there today and you'll see
I think News Channel 4 was there today. Um so you'll see a lot about it in the news in the probably next couple of days. But, uh, it's going to be a reality. It's basically a reality show and they're going to be recording everything that they do up to the point where they race the motorcycle that they
build. So, um, I would like to thank all the sponsors and Tyra Pilgrim and Brian Lewis for putting this together. This is something that they've been working on for a little while and I'm so proud of our students. So, thank you, Madam Chair. I want to thank you, Tammy, for working
behind the scenes to help make this happen, too. This was a tremendous kudos to our to Leverne to this RCS schools and I'm just I have a few more CTE programs that I'm working on. Dr. Chest Oh, let me say this. Dr. Chestain, she has been y'all
she's she's the secret weapon behind the scenes and she never wants to be mentioned or anything, but she stayed on this program and got it together and and made sure things were the way they should be, safety and everything else. So um she is a welder also. I found out
that she during COVID took welding classes. I want to be like Dr. Chestain. Yes. I want to be like Dr. Chestain. So thank you Dr. Chestain for helping get this scooted on down the road and um our kids are going to be I mean this is this is
lifechanging. So thank you. Wonderful. I'm sorry I missed it this morning. Any other anything want to bring? Yes, Mr. B. I hate to bring this back up. I don't want to go back and visit that straight. Just a second. The on the diagram with the the the road construction. Did I
understand you to say they're dropping the elevation 17 ft? What does that do to the site line of parents coming and going out of that school? Well, how it's Sorry, I didn't have my mic.
No, no. lines are there are so bad with those radiuses. When they straighten that road out, they'll actually have closer to a teed intersection. It's on a funny angle. It's almost a wow, right? Plus, it's in a curve. Um, so they're
they're improving the sight lines. Plus, it's on a hill going over the top. So, it's going to improve it all the way around. So coming out coming out from Lake Road to Walder Road huge huge improvement right there. Yes sir.
What about coming out of the school onto Lake Road? That's what I'm having trouble. That's what I'm having trouble. It will be it right now it's flat because it's at the peak of a hill. Right. So that that entrance into our parking lot's also on a hill. You've got a hill coming
I guess it' be east and west on Lake Road that's on a hill. that entrance that it goes over. When Lake Road hits Waldron going north and south, it's on a hill and in a curb. So, both of those sight lines will be improved. The the one on Lake Road is the one I
was having trouble visualizing. The biggest thing for us is and the reason they need the slope easements on the entrance off a lake is because that's where it's going to taper down to us because that's dropping as well. That that was my concern. They've done a
lot of work and I've been sort of picky on keeping the angles for get the buses in and out because that is the entrance that our buses go in and out. And that was going to be and that was my big concern was dragging
and that and getting the angles and the turns right. And they did design it for a 90 passenger bus, not a 72 passenger bus. They all do, but I've got they've got bigger radiuses than what T dot says is required. All right. That that that because that
has been a I have noticed in some of our um you know entrances and exits that since we've gone to the 90 passenger bus overall it is there's some of the older schools some of the site plans I don't
think were designed with that in mind. So that was if we've got an opportunity to rectify that or make it better, that's what I want to make sure. That's what we worked on. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anything else? Yes, ma'am. Yes, Mr. Sorry.
I need a pop I'm not Popular Hills New School. I'm not naming it yet. I need a name and some colors and a mascot. We're meeting on Thursday. That's awesome because the contractor's wanting to turn colors most. So, if we get that,
that'd be great. Um, and I'm speaking out. Um, we uh had a lot of rain the last two days. Um, we have a issue at Popular Hills. Um, we have had some
water on a neighbor uh across the corner on Blackbud and Baker that has gotten close to into their house. Uh we contacted our engineers early this morning. I'm getting out in front because I know some of this is already on Facebook so that you will know. Uh
the engineers have been out there today until we receive their reports back. What has been installed to the best we can tell at this time what's been installed does meet what they have engineered and designed. So, we will be
looking for their report to see what where what our next steps are, but I didn't want you to see that on Facebook and and not know what's going on. So, that's it.
Anything else? Yes, Mr. Darby. I would like to wish Mr. Tidwell a happy birthday. I think the board should sing. I think we I think we decided we were I would welcome that. Please do [Music]
