▪ Damages were significant ▪ Damage assessment was professionally conducted ▪ Environmental safety inspectors and over 200 restoration specialists contracted for cleanup ▪ BISD is required to follow protocols established by the environmental safety inspector and restoration team ▪ Creation of the storm related protocols take between two and ten days

What was the scope of the damage? What protocols do we have to follow?

What current options do we have within the district to create the safest and most conducive learning environment for the impacted students?

How soon can we get the students back in school? What solution impacts the least number of students and is the least disruptive? What are the functional building capacities for all campuses?

Options Rationale

Adding Portable Classrooms at BU 5-6 Weeks to establish electricity, design, plumbing, etc.

Combine within the same facility the lowest enrollment campus (ECHS ) with the lowest enrollment middle school (SP)

Specialty programs, increased enrollment, and insufficient space Moving a portion of ECHS to LIT LIT has increased enrollment and could not accommodate Using privately owned facilities Insufficient facilities, security risks, child nutrition concerns, etc. Split time with WB campus Disrupts 4500 students and diminishes the quality of the instruction PLA at Smith The nature of the contract gives the partner autonomy over the facility

Campus 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 Current South Park 445 481 472 449 418 King 538 603 662 627 545 Smith 589 539 534 574 565 Odom 824 865 847 860 892 Vincent 630 607 603 553 674 Marshall 785 815 849 910 863

▪ Restoration work continues at Beaumont United and Fehl-Price ▪ Students from South Park are rezoned to Vincent MS or King MS ▪ Beaumont United 9th graders will be housed at South Park ▪ 10th-12th Grade Beaumont United students will remain at the campus in a portion of the facility

▪ Quickest possible return to school for 2147 students at Beaumont United and 460 students at Fehl-Price ▪ Least disruptive viable option for all BISD students ▪ Students at South Park, King, and Vincent will have access to more certified personnel including teachers, counselors, interventionists, assistant principals, etc. ▪ South Park students moving to King and Vincent will have access to more program options ▪ Maximizing resources for special programs will result in stronger support for students

▪ Can we transfer to another campus? ▪ South Park students will be allowed to transfer to Smith immediately and will be allowed transportation during this window. ▪ Will my child be able to continue playing sports? ▪ Yes. All student athletes will integrate into the current sports at King and Vincent.

Our goal is to keep our students with the same teachers, if possible, as well as the same electives; however, there may have to be some elective changes. ▪ How will the missed instruction be rectified? ▪ The Curriculum & Instruction department is working to compact the curriculum for all content areas, along with adjusting testing calendars for the students at Beaumont United.

Accommodations are being made for students who participate in athletics with regards to transportation. ▪ Will transportation be provided? ▪ Yes, normal transportation will be provided for students, as well as students who participate in athletics, i.e. needing to be transported from the ninth-grade campus to the 10th through 12th grade campus for after-school, as well as athletic periods.

▪ Will students be required to make up days missed? ▪ We will await further guidance from our district-level administration and the state to determine if students will be required to make up days and how many. We are in the process of proactively planning for interventions and remediation to close gaps and make up for time lost to ensure

• ur students are successful.
