Lillian and Chip provided the following HVAC Task Force Update on the progress of items since the last Board meeting:

• Hired a Construction Project Management firm to lead RFP process for HVAC repair
• In the course of looking at scope of work, uncovered that all options would be very costly ($1.5M - $2M+) and not guaranteed to fix humidity issues
• Completed a walk-through to look at potential options to help improve targeted classrooms - install AC units
• Focus on ensuring ongoing comfort and safety of all students, teachers, and staff while pivoting to Master Planning of Facilities to get us to a more permanent solution
• Air quality testing completed in March 2022. Nothing unusual or worrisome from the results
• New Director of Operations is starting on May 1st

In addition, the end of summer plan was discussed, which included the following initiatives:

• Installing 110v AC units for three affected classrooms
• Industrial dehumidifiers will continue to run 24/7 on lower level
• Any emergency breaks or leaks will be repaired as quickly as possible, and the area fully remediated
• Throughout summer, planning regular checks on humidity, and any signs of moisture or mold
• July 2022 - air quality testing and any specific remediation/deep clean to occur prior to school opening

Drew discussed Master Facilities Planning, which is a plan to position GLOBE to make long-term facilities investments, including additional instructional space and addressing ongoing maintenance challenges. The members of the Master Facilities Planning Committee are: Drew, Lillian, Luis, Chip, Leigh, Christi, Denise, and Cortney Flowers. The next steps for the MFP Committee are developing and distributing RFP for project management firm to guide the process, making investments in development, and developing process for including the community's voice.

There was no formal report, but Luis reported on the following items:

• Revenue always exceeds expenses (safe/conservative measures as well as to meet the debt covenants)
• Peak in FY 19-20 (DCSD reduced drastically the revenue per FTE)

• Preliminary budget for FY23 is ready for public review. The two public budget meetings will take place on Wednesday, May 11th at 6 p.m. and Wednesday, May 18th at 9 a.m.
