KINNEY: Sure. We are planning to expand a high school beginning in, well, the planning year
<br />of 2021, so it would start in, the first year would be 2021, and we are, we know that we need two
<br />sites in order to grow to high school, and so we weren't—the plan for this campus ultimately is
<br />to house the pre -K to eight and potentially even only pre -K to six as we might move them, the
<br />intermediate, to be with the secondary students. We just thought it in terms of making that
<br />transition if we could have some flexibility as we're growing that, to start our ninth grade. For
<br />example, there, we'd have some flexibility in the grade levels not to exceed that maximum of
<br />250 students.
<br />KERN: Thank you very much. So, we'll leave that to you folks to discuss and consider. We do
<br />have some renderings here, what it's potentially going to look like. [Referring to three visual
<br />renderings they had put up behind them.] It's beautiful. The late Boone Morrison actually
<br />worked on this project, and he put a lot of time and intention into drafting these plans and what
<br />not. So, we're happy to answer any questions you folks have.
<br />CLARKSON: Any questions for the Applicant?
<br />REPLOGLE: Yes, I have one. So that field in the middle. Is that going to be for, just to look at
<br />or isI know it rains a lot up there, but is physical education going to be part of this school?
<br />KINNEY: Absolutely. So, the field is definitely a play field, and it's quite large actually, and
<br />will also be for, you know, P.E. activities. We want to keep it open as much as possible. We'll
<br />probably put some play structures up that will be over at the pre -K building which is up in the
<br />front up here and then some other play structures nearby where the younger students are on the
<br />inside, but most of it will be open for the open free play.
<br />And, regarding flooding, you know, we have been so far working with Engineering Partners, and
<br />they are, they've been really excelling on working on the, you know, the drainage and making
<br />sure that we're not going to have a flooding problem in that field.
<br />REPLOGLE: So, if sixth grade was out playing soccer for physical education in that field, that's
<br />not going to be disruptive to math class going on right—
<br />KINNEY: —Well, so one thing I want to point out, too, is that cafeteria, multi-purpose center
<br />will also be an indoor opportunity
<br />REPLOGLE: In the front?
<br />KINNEY: as well, but that was a question that was brought up by teachers when we were in
<br />our planning phase and the—the, you know, Boone and the architects addressed it as that, I can't
<br />explain it I'm sorry to say, but like the, because of the way the elevations work, that they're not
<br />expecting that sound to carry. So, it's quite a good distance, so we did address that, yeah.
