Written comments must include your name, address, and telephone number Troy Cook - 2789 N Barnes, ldaho Falls Troy asked for four (4) minutes to present; request vras approved by Chairman McBride. I would like to comment on the debate from the No Campaign. My purpose tonight is to give you an educatois perspective; it's been heard before but bears repeating, especially for the new school board members. This group's (D93 Solutions) repackaged plan is the same plan already looked at by the school board and bond committee, but with a few minor tweaks, and which has already been rejected. I ask you do so again for the sake ofeducation and best practices. As a lormer counselor of Hillcrest High School, $e idea to combine Hillcrest High School and Sandcreek Middle Schoolto create a big high school is a terrible plan. lsaw firsthand the overcrowding problem. loften wouldstay in my office during passing periods because the halls were overcrowded. On occasion I worked at both schools. lt took 8.5 minutes to pass between the offices of Hillcrest High School and Sandcreek Middle School; it will take longer with crowded hallways. To have classes between these two buildings would necessitate a 15 minute passing period, otherwise the students are late to class or waiting for the bell to ring or becoming a discipline problem. Thirty to 45 minutes would need to be added to each day to accommodate this need. Weather conditions can also become a hazard and we need to consider our Special Education population. Are we really going to have lunches or administrators in two different buildings or ask teachers to move from building to building? Have you asked the teachers for their input? These things are the makings of a logistical nightmare and definitely not the best educational practices. The idea put foft by the No Group concerning the students involved in seminary classes or homeschooled would offset the need for the new high school, is not valid. Even with the kids going to seminary and out of the building, still leaves the high school classes at 3040 students each. On average there is 70-1'10 seminary students at any given period and most homeschooled students are involved with Bonneville Online schools. With the new freshman class of over 400 students this fall, brings Hillcrest's enrollment to over 1 ,600 - how does this solve the problem? lt doesn't. This other group claims they have input from educators, but no one can substantiate this claim because of the lack of transparency on their part. I know of no teachers that support this idea. lf their plan is to have any merit, the public at large needs to be allowed in delending the process. Thank you. 4 Amanda VanOrden - 3285 E. Edwards Drive, ldaho Falls I am not a fan of the Solutions idea of building a middle school over a high school. I do not appreciate the inappropriate and childish communications. You need to be honest if you really feel strongly about somethingi you need to say who you are and not send things out under hidden names. I am a parent of six children, with five of them in school. I have a ipecial needs son who goes through these halls against he wall. This is a challenge for him. Tax increases are easily met when unnecessary expenditures are cut from your monthly spending. lt's not about the school, it about education and what's best for our children. I will do whatever it takes get the children the right education. I have lived in other states with much higher taxes than ldaho. I feel we need to invest more to improve our community and education. I \.yould hate to see things falter because we don't know who we are. We need to do what's best for our children's education. Thank you. George Bidstrup - 2391 Eastview, ldaho Falls I was hoping we were at the point where we could sit down and work it out. lt's obvious we have differences. I am pa( of the D93 Solutions group and we are not coming together yet to work out a solution. So far tonight, lhavenotheard any solutions and there is too much complaining between sides. What can we do on each side to come up with a solution? I would propose a work session with the Board to discuss what will work and come out with ideas. I understand there will be problems with any solution we @me up with. The tax increase is not the issue; I am willing to pay the extra taxes as long as the solution is the best plan. We need to come up with the best solution by talking about it and not whining about it. Thank you. Randy Smith - 12445 N Foothill Road, ldaho Falls Dr. Shackett and members of the Board, I appreciate your service and efforts in our behalf. I think the best way to come to a solution is to do more advertising in the newspaper;we are wasting a lot of money as time goes on. We should consider publishing the facts by an independent pa(y you all can agree on, and spend $10,000 and get the information into the paper and get the facts out to the patrons. I hope local newspaper and news folks would get more involved and get the facts as they are. I understand that the teachers do not like classroom trailers. The number of students seem to be hard facts, no matter how projected. The difference between building costs of a middle school vs. a high school per student really isn't that much money. lf we have an independent person and the facts that both sides can trust, hire them and not be afraid of spending a little money in advertising. Let the facts fall where they may so we can vote on something we can pass. Thank you. Wendy Norman - 10456 N 25r,E, ldaho Falls I went to the bond solutions group meeting and what concerned me the most is they did not talk about the students other than the numbers. There was no mention of the value of education; no one mentioned the teachers and how to make education work for our kids. I support this Board on their decision fthe students have priority. This group even admitted that within 10 years, both a middle school and a high school would need to be built. Let's do what is best for our kids and make their education our top priority. Thank you for all the work you do. Chairman McBride expressed appreciation from the Board to the patrons who speak their peace and share their concerns. On a recent radio program, the plan proposed by the 093 Solutions Group as labeled as "Jeff Bird's plan.' Chairman McBride asked Mr. Bird to publically bring this to the Board for discussion, so we know as a public that misinformation is not out there. Mr. Bird explained that the information that has been presenled is close to what he had been proposing the last couple ofyears. The solutions group put it together on their own and would contact l!lr. Birdon occasion. Thisplanis something he would fully endorse. Chairman McBride asked Mr. Bird to bring to this plan from the 093 Solutrons Group to the Board for discussion at the Work Session to be held on August 26, 2015. Vlll. New Business A. Suspension of Policy - Scott Woolstenhulme Chairman McBride invited Mr. Woolstenhulme to present policies for Suspension lvlr. Woolstenhulme discussed the reasons why these policies pertaining to Software Purchasing need to be suspended. These policies are four years old. Today, software comes as web pages and most applications are found online. Last year the State legislation passed a new law which requires the District to have very specifrc agreements from the vendors for student information. We need to be very careful as we use software in the District. Updating these policies and procedures protects teachers and students. 5 1. 2940 and 5362 Software Purchase and lnstallation 2. 2940F1and 5362F1 Software and Online Subscription Checklist 3. 2940F2 and 5362F2 Software Evaluation Form 4. 2940F3 and 5362F3 Software Purchase Approval Form5. 2940P and 5362P Software Purchase and lnstallation Procedure 6. 5362 and 2940 Software Purchase and lnstallation 7. 5362F1 and 2940F1 Software and Online Subscription Checklist8. 5362F2 and 2940F2 Software Evaluation Form 9. 5362F3 and 2940F3 Software Purchase Approval Form 10. 5362P and 2940P Software Purchase and lnstallation Procedure Chairman l\ilcBride asked if there were any questions from the Board for Mr. Woolstenhulme Mr. Calder asked what the time frame for revisions would be. Mr. Woolstenhulme stated the Policies should be revised v',ithin 3-6 months, and no later than July 1, 20'16. MOTION: Chairman McBride made the motion to suspend Policy series 2940 and 5362 until July 1, 2016 to allo\^/ lT staff to create new policies or make amendments to the current policies and bring revisions back to the Board for discussion and possible acceptance. These current policies will go back into effect if no new policies or amendments are presented to the Board by July 1, 2016. Greg Calder seconded. The vote was 4 in favor, 0 opposed. The moton carried. B. Financial Committee Report - Chairman McBride asked iilrs. Burton to introduce the presenters from the Financial Commitlee. Mr. John Pymm will give an update on new construction and architecture costs; Mr. Eric Heringer from PiperJaffray, our bond undeMriter, will present on the history of Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 and where we can go in the future, including a long{erm financial plan for facilities; and Mr. Mark Bird, the Financial Committee Chairman for the previous bond, will summarize the information presented tonight. Mr. Pymm has been asked to work with the architect to compare building cost going forward and how we could cut msts. Scott Straubhar from Hummel Architects estimated that a 1,500-1,800 capacity high school, with inflatjon, could be $58 - $59 million. Recently, Twin Falls bids were 2% short, or below costs, fora middle school. Possible ways to save $2 million could include:. lnstalling roof top HVAC units w. central systems currently used. Different quality roof top material. Concrete board vs. block construction These construction options would need to be reviewed in relation to our climate concerns. Estimated cost for a 1,500 seat middle schoolwould be $4445 million;this does not include sportgrounds, etc. An additional $2- $3 million could be cut from the cost ofthe high school by not constructing playing fields, tennis courts, etc. or by shelling sections that would then need completed at a later time. Chairman McBride asked il the cost of the high school would be affected if another architecture plan was chosen. Mr. Pymm stated that the estimates have been based on the average cost of building a high school times the square footage times the needed capacity and types of construction materials used. The architecture design or cost differences would not be significant, unless it included non-usable space, i.e., vaulted ceilings and large foyers. The Middleton school design was influenced by the educators, creating a research based design. Hummel Architects did not design the Middleton school; they are proposing a plan on the aspects of the Middleton design that the Board saw favorable. Cutling corners is not advisable and non-usable space, costly. Every year the cost of building a new middle school or high school has increased $2-3 million. The longer we wait to run the bond, the more it will cost. Contingencies are also included in the cost estimate. l\4r. Eric Heringer has been involved in Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 for the past ten years. He will explain what has changed in the last six months regarding the bond plan, how the bond plans are developed, the repayment structure, the tax impacts and interest increases. Mr. Heringeis presentation is attached to these minutes. He described the different types of levies: bond, plant and supplemental. Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 has all three types of levies, each voted in and each with a different purpose. A bond is 6 debt and a tax levy is voted upon to pay back the bond by a super majority. Bonds are the @mmon way to raise the monies needed to build schools. Repayment of the bond is structured differently than a home mortgage. School bonds qualify for a bond Levy Equalization subsidy from the State of ldaho to help repayment of the bonds; State of ldaho does not provide money directly for school mnstruction. A plant levy is for major maintenance, on-going repairs or needed equipment; it is a pay-as-you-go plan and votes determined by what the tax rate will be. Supplemental levy is for operation and to supplement the general fund; school diskicts receive 90-95% of their operating costs from the state, with the difference made up by the supplemental levy. The majority of school districts in ldaho have supplemental levies. lt carries a simple majority vote. lncreasing state sales tax has not been beneficial to the school district's funding; inflation and recession playing a major role and causing school districts to pass supplemental levies to fill the gap. Bonds allow you to do two things: (1) borrow money, and (2) levy property taxes to repay the bond. This tax rale is not a specific rate, but whatever it takes to repay the bond. Your commitment to the tax payers was that if this past bond passed, you would not increase the tax rate; although, legally you could have raised the rate. lncreasing the rate pays the bond offquicker. The choice then is to lower the amount of the money borrowed in order to be able to pay it ofl without raising the tax rate or post a bond that will require an increase in tax rate. lt's imporlant to structure the decisions to avoid making those tough choices; it will take self-discipline to structure a bond and not raise the tax rate. The concept of a stable tax rate is the revenue driven from a stable market rate and the outcome will stay the same. lf the market goes up, it drives more dollars; if it goes down it drives less dollars. There are different types of taxed properties, i.e., ne'r/ construction and residentialor commercialwill have different tax liabilities. The choices that have been made to trade dollars between bond, plant and supplemental levies has changed over time. This makes rt difficult to make a bond without an increase in tax rates, because the market has not kept up with growing needs. The average growth rate increases 7.45% over a 20 year period. iilarket values will eventually go upi including inflation rates and new construction. The question is, how does this change our thoughts about the growth assumptions for Bonneville Joint School District 93? We have a bigger tax base today than during previous bonds. This is significant; it takes the pressure off the other levies and increases the pay-off of the proposed bond. However, without any growth in the market value, we have not been able to pay off the existing bonds as quickly as we would have liked and has slowed down the progress of a new bond. Your individual tax statement will show what percentages of your taxes go to the payoff the current levies During the last ten years, Bonneville Joint School District 93 has received $10.0 million from the state Levy Equalization Program. The Fiscal Year 2016 growlh in l/arket Value (4.68%) changes the taxpayer impact of a proposed bond significantly compared to the pervious planning effo(s which had assumed 2,00% growth. This is still below the 7.45% compound annual growth rate of the past 20 years. Currently, we are developing a 10+ year model of the District's anticipated levy needs including renewal of existing levies and proposing new bonds. We know that we need to structure our bond payments as proposed with a conservative rule assumption using the facts of today with the potential of growth in the future. l\4r. Mark Bird stated that during the last tv/o years we were assuming 0% growth rate. This year we were assuming 2% growth rate and with the proposed growth rate of 4.68% -that's $6.3 million more money per year over the length of the bond (17 years)than anticipated when we put the proposalout there. lf the growlh rate of 4.68% is consistent in future years, that's another $6.3 million per year! Assumption is not a concrete idea, but a prolection of what cou/d happen. ltis important to be conservative than too optimistic, but not too lovi. ltwill be the Board's decision based on what recommendations we present. The assumption we recommend will be for whatever the long term plan dictates. The further into the future we look, the less likely we are to meet those assumptions. Proposed assumptions will be looked at in greater detail at the \,York session on August 26, 2015. Large term assumptions allow a greater likelihood of coming closer to that growth rate average in time. The Financial Committee will reconvene to put together another proposal during the next two weeks. '7 Chairman McBride asked Mr. Heringer his opinion on running the bond again in November 20'15. Mr. Heringer stated the interest rates are now low, with the potential of rising over the next year. January is the best time to sell bonds. There is not a lot ol supply in the market, current bonds due have been paid off in December and January, and big investors have extra money to reinvest. Demands cradle supply. Mr. Calder asked if the bond passes in November, when would we know what the interest rate will be. Mr. Heringer stated it takes about 1 .5 months afrer it passes to be able to sell the bonds. During the holidays is not a good time, making January an ideal time. Another way to lower the impact of the bond would be to split the bond by selling half now and half later which would we then could look at the savings and interest costs relative to the interest rate risk. Chairman McBride asked if it makes any difference to the investors what the District's track record or credit history is and does that play into the inlerest rate. Mr. Heringer stated the District has a very good double AA bond rating and will also get the State's high rating ensuring a very good interest rate on the proposed bond. Vice-Chairman Paul Jenkins asked to review the refinancing of the 2009 bond. Mr. Heringer explained the process. The bond was sold in 2009 with a call date (when you pay back the investoo by March 2019. The process would be to sell a new bond with a lower interest rate. The money would go into an escrow account held by a trustee and invested. To make a payment on the old bonds by the call date, the escrow account makes payment on the old bonds between now and March 2019 vs. making payments on the new bond with a lower interest rate which generates the savings. To refinance the bond does not require a vote if the bond debt does not increase. Mr. Mark Bird concludes by reviewing the long term planning projectrons. The question is, what are the future projects the Diskict expects beyond the current proposed bond? Two things are key to this prolection: ('1) a forecast of school enrollment based on historical growth rates compared to the schools' capacities which determines the cost factor; and (2) revenue based on the current market values and tax rate increase needed to achieve the Long Term Plan. lilr. Woolstenhulme reviewed the historical student enrollment data over the last 20 years, showing the enrollment has been higher in the last 10 years than in the lirst'10 years. Kindergarten classes this year will help determine projected growth rate. Additionally, growth rate increases 1-1.5% from people moving into the District. Chairman McBride spoke about this from a political standpoint. Raising the tax levy for the future might be a good thing, but politically, it may not be and we are trying to find a balance between the two. [rr. Mark Bird's recommendation would keep politics in mind. Due to the new market value projections, the amount of tax increase would be lower. He feels better communication is key to avoid misconceptions of information. A ten year Long Term Plan will be able to show the District's future needs and levies. Chairman McBride expressed appreciation to all those who presented information pertaining to the financial aspect of the bond and the District's future. lX. Old Business - There was not an y old business to report on X. Committee. Curriculum. and Administrative Reoorts perintendent ShackettA. Report on the Slate of the District - Su 8 lrr. Heringer encourages the District to refinance the 2009 bond, with a potential savings of about $1.9 million dollars now when the rates are still low. l\,4r. l\,4ark Bird explains the Long Term Planning technique:. Historical data forms the assumption for each grade level. These projections are based on the past growth rate Dr. Shackett - Kids are still coming! Currently, there are 24 classroom trailers at the high schools, with two classroom trailers coming to Sandcreek Middle School this fall. We are still facing the challenge of holding split sessions. Dr. Shackett introduced Mr. Heath Jackson, Principal of Bonneville High School, who will address an alternative plan. Mr. Jackson and the other secondary administrators are concerned about split sessions and the impacts this will have on the middle school and high school students and faculty, transportation, food services, and the community. We met in June 2015 to see what our options are that would have a lesser impact on our students. Currently, our idea is a work-in-progress and can be accommodating to our community and students. We are now over-crowded and instead of looking at enrollment projections, we considered the number of available classrooms. ln two years, the fall of 2017, we will have g9 classrooms at the high school level, 28 modular classrooms and '18 hours of shared classrooms or roaming teachers and we will no longer have sufficient classrooms to meet the needs ol the students and teachers. lf we keep the current block schedule we now have in the split session scenario, classes would start at 6:00a.m. and end at 7:15p.m. This would cause the kids to be picked up as early as 5:00a.m. and dropped off by 7:45p.m. This would not be the best educational opportunity for our students academically, socially, having a part time job or being involved in extra and co-curricular activities and sporls. Key points of our innovative plan: . Bell schedule start 7:00a.m. and end at 5:15p.m.. Students grouped in three tracks . Volunteer online tra* o lncentives for online students o Trimesters, not semesters . Six-60 minute periods per day . Classr@m space used more efficiently o Students receive daily instruction o Students home for dinner and family activitieso Between the three groups, the daily number of students would decrease relative to today's numbers o Split lunch sessions . Could also offer afternoon online classes . Daily planning periods . Math, Language Arts and ELA classes held every day . More master schedule options . No change in graduation requirements . Lower class sizes . AP classes and Dual credit classes will still be available . lncrease of electve studies We feel ils best to change to the trimester schedule for the 201&2017 school year to work out lhe details before going to split sessions. As we move into trimesters, will help determine if the new school will also be on the same schedule. The plan is based on total enrollment and capacity of the school and at what point can we no longer accommodate sludents. The bigger he school, the more sfudents vrill need to take online classes. Iilr. Calder asked what the advantages were to the block schedule. The advantages of the A-B block schedule allows for more science lab time, teacher transition time, student practice and review, and classroom utilization. Effective useof timecan beachallenge. There will be increase expenses for split session classes. A traditional split schedule would cost $700,000 to $'1.2 million; it is unsure what the cost 9 xrl would be with the trimester plan. Additional expenses would include teaching stafl office staff, transportation, food services, etc. The trimester plan is better for our @mmunity, our teachers and for our students!
