Russell for your hard-working bring together a Furniture payment plan that furniture plant has been purchase orders have been issued and we are awaiting delivery times on that so we can coordinate with the contractor so that we are installing furniture and getting ready the start of school I would just like to add that that the time frame that we turned for the furniture fixtures and equipment is impressive as I'm sure you know because because that was not part of the original. kind of this project so we when we found out we had to turn down a really short. Of time so thanks to csrs for dogs. Thank you all for your help as well because that is a very large package it's a very large school and there's a lot of pieces and parts in it I'll save this if you don't like anything in it it's my fault if you like it it's all dr. Russell know we had a great time getting us together we did move very quick there's some beautiful stuff going into this building y'all are going to be excited I can tell you currently we basically we have our Transformer delivered to the site and installed by energy so I don't know if you recall previous conversations we had a little bit of issue with that that thing is in there running feeders to the from the pole to the transfer and we're working to get power to the building by the end of the month and what that means is we start doing interior finishes you start seeing floors you start seeing ceiling tiles you start seeing pain so by the end of this month the first part of of next month should be seeing finishes going in if you get an opportunity if you have enough to it if you want an opportunity I can definitely leave a tour through it but seeing some of the tile tile and some of the existing restroom and was and what it is now is is unbelievable you're going to be impressed it's really an incredible facility the the back Courtyard area where the cafeteria looks for students to gather we got a beautiful furniture package that's going in there that's going to actually enhance that space as well we have to go on with the brick work site work is being done it's being when you hear somebody saying dressed up besides being leveled to getting ready for landscape at every opportunity that I have found two to provide some benefits back to the campus whether there are still some things that that I'm looking for a different way to get credits back we're looking to if there's some work that we need to get done and hadn't been done to make this a better up so that they were looking at that we're working with our contractors and Architects to analyze it currently make sure that it's right in appropriate for the space we're looking at some of the parking spots that were deemed to be removed that we may keep some for the it makes more sense in the front of the building to have some of that adjacent parking home pricing for some new lights in the gym that wasn't was wasn't in there that I think is very crucial for the project so we're working through some of that every opportunity that that's available we're looking to take advantage of so we continue to work and visit the site we very attentive to detail I'm going back to the drawings are going back to change orders I'm looking at every angle to make sure we're we're not losing any Integrity of this project but we're getting as much as we possibly can get we've initiated some additional work to clean the building little bit more efficiently I'll wash some of the existing stuff some of those columns that were in the front with a little dirty going to take care of those again just every aspect of it we walked that weekly completely to look at every piece of it and and then to make sure that we get in the best project so as Miss Burgess alluded to this is coming we can't stop it now so we look forward to getting it getting it delivered on time and on budget well it's definitely a different architectural style e got the new construction is more modern more contemporary stuff and that the older existing stuff is a is a historic architecture hayestown so you got a enough to restore it to me it will compliment that you it will be a very complimentary style together along with the with the company doing the welding equipment could you make my day so basically work we're getting ready to go as soon as the construction team gives us a go-ahead we have some folks ready to go in and clean it up and paint it and get it ready for Supply it but we're just waiting on the the go-ahead from the construction crew release all to get in there and I do want to add that there will be a walkthrough with representative Graves this coming Monday at 9 a.m. the board is welcome to attend it will be it will be a showcase walkthrough it will not be working walkthrough so we won't be asked construction or the architecting bunch of questions will just it's basically it's just letting some of the public officials I believe the mayor might be their representative Graves might be there we might have some some local Representatives like representative Adams and representative Carpenter that might be there and the board's welcome to attend so that's that's this coming Monday the 22nd at 9 a.m. that's pretty much the gist of it and then again we're moving and we will stay on top of it and make sure we could just go to complete it so any other questions the front of the school will you talk about your power washing and everything is there going to be any painting this going to be done in the front of the school or because yeah the picture of the front and right in the front but we it's originally it was painted red and in the scope of work that it wasn't included in there but I requested I've been going to do it we going to think that straight that red stripe on there were going to take care of that the metal and then basically they won't be till be painting of the metal of the gymnasium the metal panels on the wall power washing in some painting asking stop in there and then mostly power washing of any of the concrete to get rid of any of that mildew it's cuz that stuff wasn't painted before basic are natural natural finish to restore that natural finish I'm going to say that because it's really needs to be I recognize the need to make that highlighted thank you so much and your other question I feel cuz that's what I'm working on trying to redo our whole new football and track field thank you and if anybody to get it done she can Mr MacAskill and that thank you thank you sir absolutely we're going off the grid here you have a question we'll probably have a will probably do it do that on a later date Public Work planning on an open house and that'll probably be at a later date our next board meeting will be May 7th 2024 we have board comments at this point Sometimes some things can't be added to the agenda it could be because of time or you know it's not an action item but here is an opportunity for boys who's to say whatever they want to say ask whatever questions they want to ask him, so the board you think about there, for just a second so the the Monday of spring break I was visiting my kids and green jobs in Montana gotten an email from CBS Evening News that said they wanted to call and do an interview with me they were doing a story on they were looking to do a story on infrastructure and American so Mark Strassman with CBS Evening News if you watch CBS Evening News you probably seen Mark Strassman and his executive producer was researching schools in America because they wanted to do a story on infrastructure and how they feel like schools within a community or a good representation of the infrastructure of the community which is correct so they they narrowed it down to two schools in the US in Baker Louisiana don't know how they found us and a school district in West Virginia and so they called and and researched it and executive producer said when they when she research base when she saw what was happening in Baker and the the direction that we were headed in the things that we were doing she knew that this was the story that she wanted to do so Monday and Tuesday of this week had to clear my schedule because CBS Evening News came in and are planning to run a story next month on Baker Louisiana and school infrastructure so stay tuned for that and I must ask you that when I asked her how did you narrow this down to Baker Louisiana she said of course she had searched all over the country and she narrowed it down to West Virginia and Louisiana and when she heard about the good thing that's why you have to always keep it positive God cuz you never ever know who's watching I mean CD National how can we ever even knowing it have anticipated that and when they heard about the good thing and when they read the vision of mr.
