Our focus really has shifted now to the communication part and how do we get our community to understand what prop O supports and how we continue to enhance all of the learning that's happening and strengthen our community. So tonight you will hear a presentation from Donovan Group, Susan Downing, Gina Tart, our communications chief officer and they're going to share the plan that we have leading up to April 7th and this week actually we've had a lot of focus groups, we've been hearing from different stakeholders and one of the things that has come up that we know we need to address is our bridge campus and when we talked about the three projects that we are focusing on for prop O which is Glenridge Elementary School, Clayton High School Learning Lab and then Gay Field the main question right now is where will the children and our students go from Glenridge Elementary and so we've been exploring a couple of options and one option is a partnership with WashU to be able to use the font bond university space and what that could look like is having a bridge, what we're calling a bridge campus on font bond property and utilizing that athletic center for the gym and the cafeteria portion of it so we don't have the details finalized. We're still working with WashU but the more we know and as we finalize that plan we'll be sure to communicate that out.

And he was like I was. Did you know about this because we probably could have come? And he's like I did but I wouldn't want to go around saying hey I'm the Missouri music educator of the year award so he was recognized and that is a huge moment to be proud of and if anyone knows Mr. Henderson he's phenomenal and our students are lucky to have him as well so please congratulate him as well. This week, switching gears, this week is school counselor appreciation week so we have pictures of all of them up there but I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate them and recognize them for all the work they do every single day in our schools, the kindness they show to our students, the care, the dedication they have and a lot of the work they do is behind the scenes and so I just want to make sure that we recognize them. If you see them anywhere in the buildings or out and about please thank them and appreciate them for all that they do. Next, as you know at the last board meeting our board voted to place prop O on April 7th ballot and so we've continued to work on all the things leading up to that. Our focus really has shifted now to the communication part and how do we get our community to understand what prop O supports and how we continue to enhance all of the learning that's happening and strengthen our community.

In addition we're going to almost create like a FAQ for just Glenridge Elementary School and say this is what the bridge campus is going to look like. These are here's pictures of what it would look like.

These are here's pictures of what it would look like. Here's what we have to consider like the transportation, you know, day to day food, how we're going to do all of that so as we get those details mapped out please be assured that we will be sharing all that with you so we'll have all of that dedicated. We'll send it out as you know through various ways maybe home mailers, we'll have it on the website, social media, et cetera. What our goal is to be as transparent as possible and to communicate as much as possible leading up to April 7th and I believe that is it. Nina actually was part of one of the focus groups that we have held over the past three days and she, our student board rep, is now going to give us a little more information about what that looked like. So yesterday I got the chance to meet with a focus group to discuss Prop O and we talked a little bit about advertisement, language and wording but we mostly talked about how Clayton students can continue to help advocate for their needs.
