Discussion:
Shawn spoke about the time spent with teachers and administrators discussing needs and wants. He then pointed out fine points of the pictures and floor plans. Mrs. Cannon inquired about cafeteria lines - there will be two and plenty of room to increase if necessary. She then inquired about storage for instruments. There will be space for instruments and riser storage. Mr. Wells asked about security measures. Dr. Simeroth indicated after drop-off the whole building will be locked and force entry to the front doors only. Mr. Van Meter asked about the saferoom building standards. Shawn said there is a difference between FEMA standards and building code. All of our saferooms will meet ICC-500 building code with respect to back-up for air, light, restrooms, and wind resistance. Dr. Simeroth took this time to emphasize he wants to use the next bond to unify the district by making a district standard entrance with the logo and red, monolithic entry visual indicating the entry to steer the public to the correct entrance. Mr. Behymer inquired as to the name of the school and Dr. Simeroth noted the naming decision was a nod to the neighborhood making the donation of land to the district hence the name: Redstone Intermediate. Mrs. Cannon commented on the flex space being so incredibly useable and safe. Mr. Wells inquired about shelves in the media room being fixed. They will be semi-mobile with a fixed curriculum desk. This space will allow for really large public events.
Before moving on, Dr. Simeroth needed to create a Special Board Meeting time on Thursday, November 8, to finalize the purchase of property at 710 E. Vandament. After considering their calendars, a quorum was able to indicate their availability at 7:30a.m.
