[5. BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT FACILITIES MASTER PLAN – COLONEL RICHARD GEIER, CHAIR, BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT]

[00:05:03]

NO, NEVER WAS. SO HOW WHAT CAN DO NOT TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN AGAIN NORTH OF THE BROAD AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GROWTH I MEAN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE DON'T THERE'S MANY OF US MAY NOT LIKE TO HAVE ANY MORE TRAFFIC OR EVERYTHING ELSE BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE MORE SCHOOLS. SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION TO SHOW YOU WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING HAVE TO GO AT GIVEN THIS THIS IS A FACILITIES MASTER PLAN AND THIS IS AUTHOR IS CAROL CRUTCHFIELD WHO DOES THIS AND THIS SHOW WHERE ALL OUR GROWTH IS WHERE OUR CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH GROWTH IS AND I'M GOING TO KIND OF GO THROUGH IT AND I'VE GIVEN THE COPIES OF THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL BEAUFORT AND PORT ROYAL. I'VE GIVEN A COPY OF THIS TO EACH OF THE GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBERS AND WE HAVE COPIES OTHERS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE THEY DON'T HAVE A COPY.

I WOULD TO HAVE A COPY WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU THIS PRESENTATION IS ALSO AVAILABLE.

LET ME SEND IT OUT ONLINE AND WE CAN GET IT TO YOU THAT WAY I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH IT AND SHOW YOU HOW WE TRACK ATTENDANCE AND OF HOW WE ANTICIPATE GROWTH AS WELL CAROL, COULD YOU AT THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE JUST TO TELL YOU WHERE EVERYBODY'S AT THIS THIS IS THE DISTRIBUTION OF STUDENTS ATTENDING SCHOOLS THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE A SERIES THAT THEY USE FOR EACH SCHOOL AND THIS ONE IS ESSENTIALLY HIDING IT.

THEY'RE AN ELEMENTARY BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IT'S GOT KIND OF SHOW YOU HERE ARE THE GROWTH IN ATTENDANCE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS I THINK THE BUT IT WAS AT RELATIVELY THE SAME HERE'S THE STUDENTS LIVE IN THE ATTENDANCE ZONE WHICH IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE ARE SO CHOICE SO FOR EXAMPLE BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS A GIFTED TALENTED PROGRAM AND SO MY TWO GRANDSONS WENT TO ELEMENTARY AND THEY WERE SAYING WELL ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO GO ACCORDING TO THE TEACHERS AND EVERYTHING AND THE GIFTED AND PROGRAM BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY ALSO HAS EXPANDED SPECIAL EDUCATION AND THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T BEEN IN SCHOOLS FOR A WHILE WOULD PROBABLY BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE TYPES OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE WHEELCHAIR BOUND OR DEAF OR DUMB SOME PEOPLE CAN'T SPEAK HAVE LEARNING ISSUES, HAVE EMOTIONAL.

ALL OF THAT IS IN OUR SCHOOLS AS WELL. AND SOME OF THIS YOU'RE ALSO SEE UP HERE YOU'RE BUILT BUILDING CAPACITY. THAT'S THE CAPACITY OF THE BUILDING WHEN IT WAS FIRST PUT ON THE GROUND AND THEN THE HERE'S THE PROGRAM TO AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A BUILDING AND PROGRAM CAPACITY PART OF THAT IS SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE FOR EXAMPLE OR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION IT TAKES MORE ROOM, MORE FACILITIES. HOW DO YOU CAROL HOW DO YOU JUDGE THAT WHEN YOU DO THAT? SO WHEN THE ARCHITECT BUILDS A BUILDING THEY PLAN THAT FOR X NUMBER OF STUDENTS USUALLY 20 TO 24 STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM TYPICAL CLASSROOM OR REGULATIONS EXAMPLE OR SPECIAL ED STUDENTS REQUIRE THAT THERE BE NO 12812 TEN ONE 215 RATIO DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS.

SO NOW THAT CLASSROOM THAT WE'VE HELPED 24 STUDENTS NOW CAN ONLY HOLD MAYBE EIGHT.

[00:10:01]

THIS CHART IS THE PROJECTED STUDENTS AND CAROL HAS BEEN AT THIS HOW LONG CAROL BEFORE COUNTING 25 YEARS. 25 YEARS. SO SHE MAKES PROJECTIONS BASED ON GOING TO DIFFERENT PLANNING MEETINGS AND HEARING WHAT'S BEING BUILT AND WHAT'S BEING ZONED AND SO ON. AND SO SHE MAKES A PROJECTION AND THIS IS PROJECTIONS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF CHOICE BECAUSE YOU YOU HAVE TO APPLY TO BE A SCHOOL CHOICE AND THAT CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND OF COURSE ALSO WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENT VELOCITY I CALL IT AND THAT'S KIDS PARENTS MOVING INTO THE DISTRICT MOVING OUT MOVING TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS THAT'S REALLY HAPPENS A LOT ESPECIALLY WITH OUR HISPANIC POPULATION NOW A FAMILY WILL COME IN TO DO FOR COUNTIES THEY'LL FIND A TRAILER AND A TRAILER PARK TO GET STARTED AND GET A JOB AND THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING A LITTLE HIGHER COST SO THEY MOVE AROUND A LOT.

HERE'S OUR TRANSFERS AND TRANSFERS OUT THESE LITTLE DOTS HERE ARE WHERE THE STUDENTS LIVE AND LAST MEANING WE HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION FOLKS COME IN AND TALK ABOUT IT.

I TOOK A LOOK AT THAT AS THEY WERE SHOWING THAT I TOOK LOOK AT OUR STUDENT POPULATION.

I SAID, YOU KNOW ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE WITH STUDENT CHOICE OR IS OR PARENTS CHOICE FOR SCHOOLS IS IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE FOR YOU.

SO THAT MEANS MOM AND DAD OR NEIGHBORS OR WHATEVER TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL AND PICK YOU UP AFTER SCHOOL. AND IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN SAVANNAH HIGHWAY IN THE MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON YOU SEE THE LINE OF CARS STRETCHED OUT THERE IF YOU DOWN BY BRIDGES CHARTER SCHOOL YOU'LL SEE THE LINE OF CARS WELL BRIDGES ALL THE CHARTER SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE BUS SERVICE EITHER AND THE CHOICE PARENTS DON'T HAVE BUS SERVICE AND THAT CAUSES ISSUES AND RIGHT I'M TALKING WITH RIVERVIEW CHARTER SCHOOL AND SAY YOU GOT TO COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT ANOTHER IDEA HERE I I THINK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT PUTTING A ROAD AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THEIR PROPERTY SO THEY CAN MOVE AROUND AND SEE IT OFF THE STREET. LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH BRIDGES.

WE DON'T THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

SO THAT'S BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY SO THE NEXT SLIDE COOSA ELEMENTARY HERE'S HERE'S AN INTERESTING WAY YOU'RE BUILT 1998 BUILDING CAPACITY FOR 76 USAGE RATE 98% AND THAT'S CAPACITY WITH MOBILE THERE BOTH AT KUSILE MENTORING WE WOULD IN A PERFECT WORLD WE WOULD HAVE THOSE KIDS MOVED TO THINK OH RENNA ELEMENTARY BUT THAT'S AGAIN A ATTENDANCE ZONE ISSUE THAT IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I'LL SHOW YOU ATTENDANCE OR OR THAT SCHOOL AND THEY ARE UNDER UNDERUTILIZED BUT THIS THIS IS OUR HIGHEST RATED SCHOOL ACADEMICALLY AND SO THE CHOICE ZONE STUDENTS AND PROJECTED STUDENTS COMING IN IS VERY IS VERY GOOD IT'S IT'S OUR HIGHEST RATED SCHOOL IT'S CALLED THE NEXT SLIDE LADIES ISLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RATHER WHEN I MENTIONED TO YOU OVER ON ISLAND OVER HERE AND IT'S ONLY AT 56% USAGE SO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE 100% WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE OR MAX USAGE. SO OUR IDEAL THAT WE CALL IT IN OUR IDEAL IS 85% BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS TO YOU FLEXIBILITY FOR PROGRAMS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE IN THAT SCHOOL, ALLOWS YOUR ROOM FOR CHOICE AND ALLOWS YOUR WORK GROWTH AND GIVES US

[00:15:06]

MARCI OAKS IS ANOTHER SCHOOL THAT HAS A LARGE SPECIAL EDUCATION COMPONENT THERE AND YOU SEE THEY ARE AT 64% USAGE RATE RIGHT NOW. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE PORT ROYAL ELEMENTARY. THAT'S OUR OLDEST SCHOOL. IT'S ALSO OUR SMALLEST SCHOOL AND IT'S A 57% USAGE. NOW IF YOU GO PORT ROYAL FOLKS YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEING BUILT AND WHAT'S COMING ON LINE AND PORT ROYAL WE EXPECT THAT NUMBER TO GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO BECAUSE OF WHAT'S BEING AND WHAT'S BEING OCCUPIED AND ROYAL WE DO HAVE CAPACITY THERE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THEY'RE ST HELENA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE'RE ONLY AT 46% USAGE 46% USAGE TERMINAL TWO THERE'S TWO BUILDINGS TO GO AHEAD THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EARLY CHILDHOOD START IS IN A GOOD PORTION OF OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER BUT WE DO HAVE CAPACITY IN THAT BUILDING CORRECT? SO THE NEXT SLIDE SO THE INCLUSIVE YES.

OF THAT IT GETS NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THERE'S BEAUFORT MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU KNOW SCHOOL 54% USAGE AGAIN BEAUFORT MIDDLE SCHOOL IS GOING PICK UP THE STUDENTS FROM PORT ROYAL. SO AS FORT RILEY FILLS INFANT MIDDLE WILL FILL UP AS WELL.

WHAT DO YOU SAY INCREMENTAL. PARDON ME? WHAT'S THAT WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME FOREVER WAS THE USAGE 54% BY THE WAY GIVEN BELOW IS IT'S AN ARTS ORIENTED SCHOOL SO THEY'LL A LOT OF CHOICE FOLKS WHO COME IN AND WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ARTS.

ONE THING THAT JUST I'LL POINT SO IN THAT LITTLE BOX UP TO THE RIGHT AND IT SHOWS THE NET TRANSFERS RIGHT SO IT USES THAT CALCULATION AND THAT THE IN AND OUT WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FROM BELOW AND GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT NET IS COMING .

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE LADIES I IN MIDDLE SCHOOL RIGHT NOW IT'S A 42% USAGE NOW THAT SCHOOL IS BEING REPLACED WE ARE WORKING WITH THE ARCHITECT RIGHT NOW. THAT SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE BUILT RIGHT BEHIND THE EXISTING SCHOOL. IT'S GOING TO GO UP THREE STORIES AND WE'RE GOING TO TEAR DOWN THE OLD SCHOOL IN PUBLIC SO THAT IT'S FOR ATHLETIC FIELDS OR PARKS PARKING AREAS OUT IN FRONT OF IT. BUT IT'S A CAMPUS CITY AND THAT SCHOOL IS GOING TO GO DOWN TO 707 FROM A THOUSAND. AND NEXT SLIDE BEAUFORT HIGH SCHOOL 79% USAGE. WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO WHERE BEAUFORT HIGH SCHOOL WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE MUCH MORE BUT 85% BEING A SCHOOL AND WILL WE SEE ENROLLMENT GROWING THERE YOU LOOK AT PROJECTED CAROL HAS IT TO 2829 OF WHAT THE GROWTH IS NOW SHE'S SHOWING IT'S ACTUALLY LOSING STUDENT POPULATION BUT THAT'S THIS IS A MOVING TARGET AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT AND LOOK AT THE GROWTH WHEN YOU SEE HOW MUCH GROWTH HAPPENED IN THE COUNTY IN THE PAST, IT'S KIND OF STARTED WITH GATED COMMUNITIES AND THAT'S NOT TO OTHER GATED COMMUNITY ISLANDS OF BEEN AND SO ON AND AS THOSE COMMUNITIES STARTED THEY WERE LEANING ECONOMIC INDICATORS BECAUSE THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT SERVICES AND THEN THE FOLLOW ON FOLKS ARE THE FOLKS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THOSE FOLKS SO HIGH END DEVELOPMENT BRINGS IN AND MIDDLE CLASS NEXT SLIDE THERE'S RIVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WE'RE AT 61% AND BROAD RIVER IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH BROWN RIVER ELEMENTARY IT'S RIGHT DOWN BROAD RIVER

[00:20:02]

SO WHAT NOW? I MEAN SO WHAT'S THE PHILOSOPHY OF DOWNSIZING IT YOU'RE DOING THAT IT LAYS OUT TWO VERY HONEST COST IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE SPEC IN THIS FOOTPRINT AND THE THIRD WAS PROJECTION RIGHT BASICALLY WE SEE YOU KNOW IT'S A K THROUGH EIGHT SCHOOL SO WE HAVE CAPACITY B AND BROAD RIVER ELEMENTARY AND SHANKLIN ELEMENTARY WHICH ARE WITHIN FIVE MILES OF ROBERTS FALLS SO WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO START HAVING STUDENTS GO TO THOSE TWO SCHOOLS THAT'S THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THEN I FEED EM TO THE NO SCHOOL NOW WE CAN THAT'S THE NICE THING ABOUT K THROUGH EIGHT IF YOU CAN YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY AS KIDS COME IN OR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ENTER THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU COULD ALWAYS EXPAND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IF YOU HAVE TO AND HAVE AND SEND OUT CASH TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THEN BRING THEM BACK YET SO THE CAPACITY OF HIGH AT VERY A FACTOR OF GROWTH IN THE AREA OR IS IT A FACTOR OF SCHOOL CHOICE? A LOT OF IT IS SCHOOL.

SEE WHAT TRANSFERS TRANSFERS IN TRANSFERS NET TRANSFERS ACTUALLY WERE LESS THAN WE HAD THERE. SO I'M NOT SURE AND MOST OF WHAT'S TRANSFERRING OUT ARE GOING TO ABOUT 100 OF THOSE ARE GOING TO RIVER RIVER CHARTER RIGHT YES WE CAN ALLOW THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR CHARTER SCHOOL. YEAH RIGHT RIGHT BUT THEY LIVE IN THAT AREA THAT'S SLIDE THERE'S BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL IS A 55% USAGE SO WE HAVE ROOM TO GROW THERE AND JUST ABOUT ALL THE APARTMENTS BEING BUILT ONE 70,000 RIGHT THOSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR THE PLANNERS WILL THEY HAVE CHILDREN THAT WILL BE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE OR THEY ARE NOT? WE HAVE ANY IDEA. I'LL TELL YOU WE WE KNOW WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GETTING KIDS FOR THOSE I GO RIGHT BY GARDEN GATE GARDEN OAKS APARTMENTS EVERY DAY OF SALEM ROAD AND I SEE THE KIDS STANDING OUT THERE WAITING FOR THE BUS AND SAME WITH LAUREL CAMPER SO THAT YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO. ROBERTS YES.

YEAH YEAH, I THINK THEY ACTUALLY DO SO ON ROAD ONES I THINK I ACTUALLY GO TO THE CANAL. OKAY. YEAH, SOME SOME DO I KNOW THE ONES RIGHT THERE ON 70 NEAR ROBERT SMALLS ACTUALLY HAVEN'T PRODUCED MANY STUDENTS.

YEAH YEAH CORRECT BETTER CREEK IS AT 55 WE HAVE ROOM THERE SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING SOME THINGS WITH ADULT EDUCATION THERE EVENTUALLY. NEXT SLIDE WELL BRANCH LOOK AT THE WELL BRANCH 57% ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT WELL BRANCH WE'VE HAD A DEVELOPERS COME TO TALK TO US ABOUT PUTTING AND A HUGE SUBDIVISIONS ON ALL THREE SIDES NORTH WEST AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE EXISTING WELL BRANCH HIGH CAMPUS AND IT'S A LARGE

[00:25:07]

YES TO ZONING AND SO ON OUT THERE BUT IF YOU REALLY TAKE A ZOOM FLIGHT OR ANY MAP LOOK AT THE MAPS AND YOU LOOK AT AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF SHANKLIN ROAD THERE'S A LOT OF LOT OF LAND THERE AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS WHO DON'T WANT MORE DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE BUT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT SLIDE WELL BRANCH MIDDLE SCHOOL 55% USAGE WE HAVE CAPACITY THERE NEXT SLIDE ROAD BRANCH OR WE CALL IT HIGH SCHOOL THIS IS ONLY AT 66%. AGAIN WE HAVE CAPACITY THERE NORTH OF THE BROAD WE HAVE CAPACITY NEXT SLIDE. SO THE REASON I'M SAYING THIS IS I THINK FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE AS FAR AS CAPACITY FOR OUR KIDS COMING IN AFTER THAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GROW NOW WE GROW WITH REFERENDUM REFERENDUMS OUR REFERENDUM THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW WE WILL HAVE THE SCHOOLS BUILT WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND THEN WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER REFERENDUM AND WE'VE WORKED THAT OUT WITH OUR FINANCES THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE ANOTHER REFERENDUM WITHOUT RAISING MILLAGE BECAUSE OF PAYING DOWN OLDER DEBT. SO HERE'S HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE REFERENDUM RIGHT NOW SAFETY AND SECURITY HILTON HIGH SCHOOL REBUILT LADY'S ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT LEFT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER RIVERVIEW CHARTER SCHOOL.

WE'RE GOING TO PUT A GYMNASIUM AT RIVERVIEW CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

WE ARE EXPANDING CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION. BEAUFORT HIGH WILL GETTING A SEPARATE BUILDING AND A BUILDING AND IS GOING TO HAVE I'VE BEEN TOLD CONSTRUCTION TRADES AND SO ON THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH OUR LABOR SHORTAGE WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY IS THAT ADDITIONAL BUILDING CAMPUS SO THAT IT'S ON A CAMPUS IT'S OKAY TO ALSO THAT ARE HAPPENING WITHIN THE BUILDING ITSELF TO CREATE SORT OF BETTER USE OF SPACES TO ENHANCE SOME OF THE CURRENT TECH PROGRAMS FIREFIGHTING IS THE OTHER SIDE OF FIREFIGHTING THAT'S GOING OUT TO THE NEW ADDITION. SO THAT'S UNDER DESIGN RIGHT? FACTORY PLACEMENTS OF COURSE WERE DONE AT KUBUNTU. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS ON SAFETY SECURITY AND WE ARE PUTTING CAMERA SYSTEMS THE PREVIOUS REFERENDUM WE PUT CAMERAS, THE SCHOOLS INSIDE THE HALLWAYS AND SO THIS REFERENDUM WE'RE PUTTING THEM OUT PARKING AND AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL AS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT VERY STRONGLY NOW IS THE SECURITY AT THE BUILDING AND I JUST HAD A BRIEFING THAT WE'RE LOOKING PUTTING IN THIS YEAR SOME SECURITY HARDWARE SOFTWARE AND IT'S GOING TO COST US A LOT OF MONEY BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS DEMANDING AND WE INCREASED SECURITY AT THE SCHOOLS ACTUALLY. WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GREATEST COST MAINTENANCE THAT I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT'S WORTH YOU PLACING IN ROOF REPLACEMENT AND MAINTENANCE ROOF REPLACEMENTS A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WE USE WITH OUR 8% RUNNING BORROWING THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO USE A $30 MILLION AND 8% CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND A LOT OF COST THE ROOFS AND AIR CONDITIONING GROUND AND SECURITY CAMERAS AND ALL THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE MONITORED. YEAH. NEVER SAID THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT ARE COMING WITH SOME PROGRAMS ONCE CALLED ZERO ICE AND ZERO ICE USES THE CAMERAS WITH AN AIR DETECT WEAPONS AND HOW HE DOES IT I DON'T KNOW BUT IF YOU TAKE

[00:30:12]

THIS IS WE THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR COST AND ADDITIONAL SECURITY STAFF AS WELL. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING SMART AND THAT WE DO A LOT. WE DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMETHING FROM THIS YEAR THAT'S SO MUCH ABOUT SOMETHING BETTER. IT COMES OUT TWO OR THREE YEARS FROM NOW I DON'T KNOW BUT WE'VE GOT TO SOMETHING GOING PRETTY QUICK NEXT LET'S THROW THIS OUT .

SOMEBODY GOT ROBBED HERE ALL DAY AND IT'S A PLACE OF BUSINESS AND HE HAS CAMERAS . THEY WERE ABLE TO JAM HIS CAMERAS OUT OF ANY KIND OF KIND OF DEFENSE. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY GOING TO TRY TO COME OUT AN OFFENSE.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT MULTI-ZONE USING DIFFERENT METHODS TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE.

NEXT SLIDE THAT'S FROM THE HEAD AND ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, SIR.

I'M GOING BACK TO YOUR TRANSPORT. I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER IN THE TRANSPORTATION ALSO ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF COMBINING OR GETTING TOGETHER WITH A METAL BREEZE AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. HAVE YOU GONE ANY FARTHER IN LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITIES WHAT COULD HAPPEN? ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE IS OUR BUSSES OUTSIDE THE STATE AND THE STATE SAYS WHAT CAN USE BUSSES FOR AND THEY ARE WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT AND WHAT WE FOUND OUT WAS THAT WE WOULD RUN AFOUL OF THE STATE IF WE PUT ANY RESOURCES INTO ANOTHER TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR MONOPOLY ON BUSSES SO BUT FOR CHOICE PARENTS THEY HAD THE FREEDOM TO USE THAT AND AS YOU KNOW CHOICE IS WHERE WE HAVE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND IF WE CAN GET IT OUT TO THE CHOICE PARENTS HEARD IT ON A BUS HERE THERE'S THERE'S A PALMETTO BREEZE OR WHATEVER BUS COMING AROUND.

TAKE THAT AND DROP YOU OFF AT THE SCHOOL AND THERE'S YOU KNOW, A SCHEDULE THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE HAVE TO BE NOW THAT'S SOUTH CAROLINA.

THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. NOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WE HAVE SOME PROPERTIES WE NEED TO GET RID OF .

WE HAVE THAT ARE EXCESS. WE HAVE PROPERTY ON KING STREET WE HAVE PROPERTY OUT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE AND WE NEED TO GET SOME MORE PROPERTY AND NOW IS THE TIME TO GET IT BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT GETS GOING TO CRAZY. BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME PROPERTY FROM WELLS. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME PROPERTY UP NORTH SAY LET'S SEE HOW THIS IS FOR ROBERT SMALL AND ROBERT SMALL

[00:35:01]

WE HAVE LAND AT SPRINGFIELD ROAD WHICH AT THE END OF MIDDLE ROAD UP AT THE NORTH END MIDDLE ROAD AND THAT'S FAVORABLE FOR OTHER ELEMENTARY I WOULD THINK ABOUT GETTING WITH HOUSING AND TRY AND MAYBE TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPING LAND YOU CAN GET A DEVELOPER OUT THERE AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS OR HOUSING. CENTURYLINK YEAH I THINK I'LL ALLOW A LOT OF REAL ESTATE KANSANS YOU ARE YOU CAN RUN I WOULD I WOULD ACTUALLY DO THAT. WE HAVE KIND OF AN EXCITING HAPPEN AT THE HIGH HILTON HEAD SCHOOL CAMPUS. THEY'VE GOT TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL ALL IN THAT ONE CAMPUS AND A DEVELOPER CAME IN AND SAID WE'RE IN IT BY THIS PIECE OF GROUND RIGHT ADJACENT TO AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN MODULAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT'S NOT LIKE A LOAN BUT THEY CAN STACK THINGS UP AND THEY SAID WE'D LIKE TO KNOW IF WE CAN SHARE PARKING HERE YOU YES .

IF YOU PUT TEACHERS IN IT. ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WE HAVE WITH TEACHER RETENTION ON HILTON HEAD IS THAT COMMUTE TEACHERS CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE THERE.

OKAY GOT TO GO OVER TO BRIDGE EVERY DAY AND WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WELL BRANCH KEEPING TEACHERS THAT WILL CRASH BECAUSE OF THE COMMUTE AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT COSTS AROUND HERE OH YEAH OBVIOUSLY OBVIOUSLY BUT WHY NOT NEXT A NEW PROGRAM THAT OLD SCHOOL PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. YOU KNOW THERE'S AN OBSTACLE ON IT ADJACENT TO THE BOTH OF YOU. OH YEAH. IS THAT PART OF THE PARCEL IS THAT IS TO WORK TO DEVELOP A BIG DEVELOPMENTAL RIGHT RIGHT. LIKE THEY WANT TO PURCHASE AN HOUSING ONE. OH WE HAVE WE HAVE SMALL PIECES OF GROUND CHECK AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE WE HAVE A BIG SOLAR ARRAY THAT USED BE ROBERTS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT ARROW CREEK BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL AND WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO SELL THAT BECAUSE I'VE BEAUFORT AND WE CAN'T CAN'T AN AGREEMENT ON WHAT THE ASSESSED VALUE BUILDS SO WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MOVE THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY PROPERTIES LIKE THAT ARE NOT AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO USE IT TO BUILD ON IT BUT YEAH IF SOMETHING HAPPENS OUT THERE RELIABLE FOR WHAT GOES ON STREET PROPERTY AS ANOTHER ANOTHER PIECE WENT UP AND COVERED THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO ADULT EDUCATION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BUT HAVING ONE ADULT EDUCATION IN BEAUFORT FOR SERVING THE COUNTY IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A NORTH OF THE BROAD AND SOUTH OF THE BROAD CAMPUS FOR ADULT EDUCATION.

WE ALSO HAVE A MAIN POINT ISSUE AND THAT MAY POINT TO ISSUE IS WE HAVE PROPERTY THAT GOES RIGHT UP 1 TO 17. WE DON'T WANT A SCHOOL RIGHT UP ON THE EDGE OF 170 AND WE TRY AND LOOK AT A PROPERTY SWAP WHERE SOME LAND JUST TO THE EAST OF THE EXISTING EXISTING COMMUNITY NEIGHBORS WAS NOT FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT DEVELOPMENT ON 117 I GET MY POINT YEAH RIGHT THERE ON GATEWAY OH COULD CHANGE ACTUARIAL INTEREST SORRY CHERRY HILL. SURE RIGHT. YES SO THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. WE'RE BUYING WILLOW RUN RUN AS OF 278 RIGHT ACROSS FROM SAINT

[00:40:03]

WE'RE NOT THE DRIVER OF THIS. WE RESPOND TO THE GROWTH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AS A DRIVER WITH THEIR ZONING AND GETTING DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS OUT. WE ALSO MAKE A BIG MISTAKE REMEMBER HIGH SCHOOL WE BUILT MAYBE OUR HIGH SCHOOL ON A PRIVATE ROAD AND WE PAID A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ON THAT TO PAY FOR OUR PART OF THE ROAD MAINTENANCE AND NOW UNTIL WE BUILT ANOTHER SCHOOL WHICH WE'RE NOW AND WE HAD TO PAY ANOTHER HALF MILLION DOLLARS PLUS $250,000 TO PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN. WE WILL NEVER AT ANOTHER SCHOOL ON OUR PROJECT ROAD THAT WAS THAT LESSONS LEARNED FOR US SO THAT'S WHY YOU LOOK AT SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS I WANT TO MAKE A GENERAL PLAN AND I IT'S TERRIBLE OKAY IT'S STRUCTURAL TO GET SOMETHING I SAID I OUT AT THE END BUT TEXT AND THEN IT'S TIME SINCE I'VE NOT MUCH BUT JUST SAY SOMETHING I'M GOING TO ASK AND JUST LET YOU IN HERE YOU TELL ME MR. DAWSON, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? I DON'T KNOW. YEAH.

AND YOU GUYS HEAR ME? YES ALL RIGHT NOW I'M HAVING A TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY WITH MY LAPTOP SO I HAPPENED TO COME IN ON MY CELL PHONE. SO A DIGITAL LOOK, I.

I CAUGHT ON YOUR PRESENTATION AND I DIDN'T GET THE GIST ALL OF IT.

BUT NEVERTHELESS I THANK FOR THE PRESENTATION THAT I'VE SEEN AND THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SAID AND I WILL SAY PERSONALLY THE ONCE THIS MEETING WAS CONCLUDED IF YOU WERE TO GIVE ME A CALL I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO SIT OUT HERE AND THERE'S SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU.

SURE. I'D BE GLAD TO DO THAT. SURE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T MENTION IS THAT GREEN SPACE HAS GIVEN US WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THE COUNTY SOME LAND RIGHT NEXT TO LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE COUNTY IS GOING TO GIVE TO US TO MAINTAIN A WONDERFUL PIECE OR PIECE OF PROPERTY IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT FOR STUDENT PROJECTS AND HOPEFULLY SOME PROJECTS AS WELL MAYBE A FARMER'S MARKET FOR EXAMPLE AND DAVID BARTHOLOMEW HAS BEEN LEADING THAT THAT EFFORT FOR US AND WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF PARTNERSHIP THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTS MORE OF AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO COUNCIL MEETINGS AND CITY COUNCIL COUNTY COUNCIL ON TO TRY TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES THAT YOU'VE GOT GOING ON WHEN WHEN COUNTY GIVES APPROVAL FOR SOMEONE TO PUT AN INDUSTRY IN, WE NEED TO WE NEED TO GET WITH THEM RIGHT AWAY TO OUT HOW WE CAN HELP PROVIDE LABOR FORCE FOR THEM SO THAT IT'S NOT LIKE IMPACT ANALYSIS AND IN SCHOOL OF THAT I LIKE TO KNOW OH YOU GET WORSE WORSE AND WORSE AND I THINK THAT YES YES IS CHARTER SCHOOL.

[00:45:05]

BUT I WILL TELL YOU NOW WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC TO OUR SCHOOLS AND THAT'S AT HIGHER RATES. WE HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY A MEMBER OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND ANY THAT WE HAVE NOW HAS TO HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY. WE HAVE ACCOMMODATE PARENTS DROPPING KIDS OFF IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WELL WHAT I SEE IS GROWTH WISE THERE ARE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH NORTH OF THE BROAD AS FAR AS THE CAPACITY KNOW I AGREE WITH YOU THAT ONE OF THE THE MOST DIFFICULT THING DO IS CHANGE ATTENDANCE SO IT'S A YEAH BUT SOFTBALL PROBABLY WHERE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS CRUEL OR HORRIBLE OKAY SO I THINK PLANNING AHEAD FOR BEAUFORT OR OF THE BROAD I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD TIME TO REALLY LOOK AT WHERE YOU WANT TO PLACE SCHOOLS AND WHERE YOU ANTICIPATE GROWTH EVEN IF IMPORTANT AND BUILD ON IT AND BUILD ON ETC. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AS WELL RUN RIGHT NOW. YEAH WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IT NOW MAYBE IT WON'T HAPPEN HERE. IN 219 THE DISTRICT HIRED A WORLD CLASS DEMOGRAPHER TO COME OUT AND. TELL US WHAT THE GROWTH IS GOING TO BE.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY TOLD US IN 2002 THEY SAID IN 2021 GROWTH AND BLUFFTON WILL BE FINISHED WITH THAT $70,000 DIDN'T GET YOU YOU I DIDN'T GET THAT SO MY QUESTION NORTH THE BROAD WE HAVE 1 TO 3 HIGH SCHOOLS YES YES THREE HIGH SCHOOL YOU ANTICIPATE A ONE? I DON'T THINK WE'LL NEED A FOURTH. YOU KNOW THAT'S A NICE THING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOLS IS WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS WE DON'T SEE THAT MANY OLDER MOVING IN WITH HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WHAT WE SEE IS YOUNG FAMILIES WANT AGAIN WITH YOUNG KIDS AND SO WE START WE START BASICALLY GROWING THEM UP. SO WE GOT 12 YEARS FROM KINDERGARTEN SHOULD TAKE TO GET THEM READY TO GO AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS CURRENTLY I KNOW BEFORE THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE MAXED OUT AS FAR AS PLAYING IT DON'T HAVE WHAT IT WAS ALL RIGHT RIGHT YEAH BUT YEAH BATTERY BATTERY AND THEN WE'LL BRANCH ALSO ELSE YES OKAY OKAY YES OKAY. I WOULD SAY EXPANSIONS COULD HAPPEN AT THE HIGH AND THE HIGH SCHOOL EXCEPT FOR HIGH GROWTH. WELL WE'RE ADDING ON NOW WITH THE TECH CENTER SO THAT WILL ACTUALLY CAPACITY ONCE THAT OPENS RIGHT BECAUSE THOSE ARE CLASSROOMS AND THAT YOU'RE RIGHT SO THAT AND AND THAT HELPS BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE MORE STUDENTS AND WHAT SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS INSIDE WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT KIND OF FALLS OUT IN THEIR CAPACITY WELL RIGHT OKAY OKAY SIR I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE GIVING SOME VOCATIONAL TRAINING ASPECTS BROUGHT INTO HIGH SCHOOL. I THINK SOCIALLY, LOGICALLY AND SOCIETY WISE WE'RE SEEING A REALLY MAJOR SHIFT TOWARDS THAT AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM HAVING RELATIVES THAT HAVE GONE AND GOTTEN INTO SOME OF THOSE CONSTRUCTION FIELDS, THEY'RE MAKING MUCH MORE MONEY THAN THEY WOULD IF THEY WERE ON COLLEGE AND ARCHITECT OR WHATEVER AND I SEE THAT AS A SHIFT NOW WHEN WHEN I WAS AN ARCHITECT WORKING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON DIFFERENT PROJECTS THERE WAS A LOT OF TECHNO ASPECTS BROUGHT INTO SOME OF THE INCARCERATION CENTERS OF WHAT THEY WERE WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS GO TO THE COMMUNITY AND BRING IN PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD ACTUALLY TEACH MANY OF THOSE COURSES AND THE SPACE THAT WE DESIGNED WAS FLEXIBLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AT DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE AT A TIME. AND I'M JUST WONDERING ARE YOU

[00:50:06]

WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT AN AVIATION PROGRAM IN EVERYONE BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A MARINE CHECK AT ONE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A EMS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSON AT ANOTHER ONE. SO WE'RE DOING THAT WITH ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND OF COURSE WE HAVE YOU FOR JASPER. I A SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS OUT ON A SHOPPING LIST AND YOU KNOW IT'S AMAZING BUT YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE NOW IN THEIR CLASS CURRICULUM THEY'RE BRINGING IN A REPRESENTATIVE FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR ALL THE NONPROFIT HERE TO TEACH THESE KIDS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMEDAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR OWN BUSINESS. YOU MAY START THINKING ABOUT BUSINESS PLANS AND SO ON BECAUSE REALLY IF YOU LOOK AT IT, MANY OF THOSE GRADUATES ARE GRADUATING, OUR WELDERS ARE GRADUATING AND GETTING 60, $70,000 JOBS RIGHT OUT OF RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND WE OFFER OUR NATIONAL CERTIFICATION FOR MECHANICS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO IT'S GROWING AND THE DEMAND IS ALMOST MORE THAN CAN THAT'S WHY WE'RE BUILDING THESE OTHER SCHOOLS BECAUSE FRANKLY WE'VE GOT MORE DEMAND AND WE HAVE CAPACITY RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S GREAT AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE TOO AS YOU WERE SAYING WE HAD AND THESE WERE INCARCERATION AND THEY WERE FOR THE YOUNGER PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEMSELVES AND THEY GOT IN TROUBLE AND ALL THAT SORT. WELL WE HAD PEOPLE PLACED IN SOME OF THOSE THAT WERE THE HEAD CHEF, IF YOU WILL. AND JUST AN EXAMPLE AND IN COLORADO, THIS HEAD CHEF THAT WE HAD IN CHARGE PROGRAM, HE HE WAS DEDICATED TO THESE KIDS AS CAME THROUGH AND HE TAUGHT THEM ALL OF THE CULINARY SKILLS. BUT THEN HE WENT ONE STEP FARTHER BECAUSE HE WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE COMMUNITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND HE WOULD ACTUALLY PLACE THESE KIDS WHEN THEY WERE GETTING READY TO GET OUT. I SEE THE SAME THING HAPPENING AND SCORES AND THAT'S WHEN THEY WOULD ACTUALLY PLACE KIDS AND THEY WOULD BE ME BECOMING SUCCESSFUL IN SOMETHING THAT THEY LEARNED THERE AND WE HAD TO EXPAND TREMENDOUS PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL AND WE GET AN OPEN ENROLLMENT AND WE HAVE KIDS THAT HAVE A TRAINED AND A ASSOCIATE DEGREE WHEN THEY GRADUATE WHICH IN OUR AND A TIGHT OTHER OTHER SYSTEMS THAT WE'VE GOT OUT THERE WE ARE EXPANDING THAT THAT'S GREAT SO OUR INSTRUCTIONAL TEAM CAN DEVELOP YOUR TECHNICAL EDUCATION CAREGIVER SHE'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB WORKING WITH COMMUNITY BUSINESS PARTNERS AND DOING A LOT OF WHAT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING KNOW DETERMINING THE NEEDS ARE WHAT WHAT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS SAYING AS GROWTH AREAS AND TRYING TO PLACE STRATEGIC RECRUITING ON PLACE THOSE PROGRAMS SO THAT KIDS HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE. SO IF IF YOU'RE ATTENDING THREE OR FOUR HIGH BUT YOU WANT WELL THEY THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY OF ABLE TO TAKE WELDING AND BE ABLE TO GET THERE TO THAT SO THAT'S PART OF THAT WHOLE CHOICE PROGRAM. SO I THINK WE'VE COME A REALLY LONG WAY IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WHERE THE CAREER TECH AND THEN LIKE YOU WERE SAYING YOU KNOW SORT OF BUILDING THEM THE BOX AND ANY KIND OF PROGRAM SO A LOT OF OUR NEW BUILDINGS THOSE NEW CAREER TECH BUILDINGS ARE JUST THAT. SO IF SOMETHING CHANGES IN 5 TO 10 YEARS AND NO ONE'S DOING WELDING BECAUSE THERE'S NO DEMAND FOR IT WELL THAT'S WHAT CAN TAKE IT WHAT'S IN THERE OUT AND PUT A NEW KIND OF PROGRAM IN THERE.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY STRATEGIC IN HOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THESE THINGS BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I GOT WITH A SHOCK BECAUSE I LITERALLY FINANCIAL CRISIS BACK OUT OF THIS BECAUSE LIKE I KNOW INSTRUCTION TRAINS MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO

[00:55:04]

SO AS YOU DOWNSIZE YOUR SCHOOLS PARTICULARLY MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ARE YOU LEAVING ROOM FOR EXPANSION? ALL THAT SITE THAT IS PART OF THE PLAN.

I THINK THAT EACH OF OUR PLANNING COMMISSIONS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET SOMETHING SET UP WHERE WE WOULD START GENERATING THE FIVE YEAR PLAN ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH PROPERTIES THAT HAVE ■ALREADY BEENAPPROVEDOR THAT ARE BEING APPROVED OR THEY'RE IN CONSTRUCTION THAT ARE COMING ON LINE TRYING TO GET A COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT IN THE BROAD SO THAT WE COULD ALL SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON NOT ON G.I.S BASIS. SOUNDS ME LIKE THAT. BE VERY HELPFUL TO YOU ALL AT THE SAME TIME TOO. SO SO AGAIN LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT IMPLEMEL OR FORWARS OKAY WERE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS GOING THROUGH THERE WAS SO I'LL START.

OKAY. YOU KNOW WE TALK ABOUT PROPERTY YOU HAVE PROPERTY WE HAVE PROPERTY BUT WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER'S PROPERTY AND SEE WHAT THEY DO.

YES. SOMETHING HAVE WRITTEN WE WANT WE WANT TO BECAUSE FRANKLY IT'S REALLY A LOT EASIER TO HAVE AN INTER-GOVERNMENTAL PROPERTY SWAP THAN IT IS TO SELL IT ON DOWN ON A REAL ESTATE MARKET BECAUSE. WE HAVE RESTRICTIONS PUT ON US BY THE STATE. THE STATE IF WE HAVE PROPERTY WE HAVE TO GIVE IT TO A CHARTER SCHOOL OR SOMEBODY ARE PART IT TO A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. SO THAT IT'S A LOT EASIER THAN
