Um, but that goal hasn't been feasible for our schools due to 2464 01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:33,040 been feasible for our schools due to 2465 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,829 been feasible for our schools due to external composting policy. Uh, however, 2466 01:00:35,829 --> 01:00:35,839 external composting policy. Uh, however, 2467 01:00:35,839 --> 01:00:37,990 external composting policy. Uh, however, our diversion rate is creeping back up 2468 01:00:37,990 --> 01:00:38,000 our diversion rate is creeping back up 2469 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,069 our diversion rate is creeping back up and we've hit nearly 32% this year. 2470 01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:42,079 and we've hit nearly 32% this year. 2471 01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:44,870 and we've hit nearly 32% this year. Our goal around water has two parts. 2472 01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:44,880 Our goal around water has two parts. 2473 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,190 Our goal around water has two parts. We've grayed out this check mark uh to 2474 01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:47,200 We've grayed out this check mark uh to 2475 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:48,870 We've grayed out this check mark uh to signify that we've met part of this 2476 01:00:48,870 --> 01:00:48,880 signify that we've met part of this 2477 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,109 signify that we've met part of this goal. Uh so we've been tracking our 2478 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:51,119 goal. Uh so we've been tracking our 2479 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:54,309 goal. Uh so we've been tracking our water consumption and cost since 2008 2480 01:00:54,309 --> 01:00:54,319 water consumption and cost since 2008 2481 01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:57,510 water consumption and cost since 2008 and we did achieve our 5% reduction goal 2482 01:00:57,510 --> 01:00:57,520 and we did achieve our 5% reduction goal 2483 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,430 and we did achieve our 5% reduction goal in FY23 2484 01:00:59,430 --> 01:00:59,440 in FY23 2485 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,870 in FY23 but both FY24 and FY25 were extremely 2486 01:01:02,870 --> 01:01:02,880 but both FY24 and FY25 were extremely 2487 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,109 but both FY24 and FY25 were extremely hot and dry. Uh and we can expect to 2488 01:01:05,109 --> 01:01:05,119 hot and dry. Uh and we can expect to 2489 01:01:05,119 --> 01:01:06,549 hot and dry. Uh and we can expect to keep seeing these weather patterns 2490 01:01:06,549 --> 01:01:06,559 keep seeing these weather patterns 2491 01:01:06,559 --> 01:01:09,589 keep seeing these weather patterns impacting our consumption. Um so it's 2492 01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:09,599 impacting our consumption. Um so it's 2493 01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:11,190 impacting our consumption. Um so it's really important to once again keep 2494 01:01:11,190 --> 01:01:11,200 really important to once again keep 2495 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,870 really important to once again keep perspective of what these reductions 2496 01:01:12,870 --> 01:01:12,880 perspective of what these reductions 2497 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,990 perspective of what these reductions really mean in terms of budget. Uh since 2498 01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:16,000 really mean in terms of budget. Uh since 2499 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,870 really mean in terms of budget. Uh since 2008, our water usage is down, but our 2500 01:01:18,870 --> 01:01:18,880 2008, our water usage is down, but our 2501 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,190 2008, our water usage is down, but our costs have more than doubled. Um we 2502 01:01:21,190 --> 01:01:21,200 costs have more than doubled. Um we 2503 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,030 costs have more than doubled. Um we recognize that water is and will 2504 01:01:23,030 --> 01:01:23,040 recognize that water is and will 2505 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,750 recognize that water is and will continue to be a high priority for both 2506 01:01:25,750 --> 01:01:25,760 continue to be a high priority for both 2507 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,150 continue to be a high priority for both the district and for the region. Um and 2508 01:01:28,150 --> 01:01:28,160 the district and for the region. Um and 2509 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,309 the district and for the region. Um and earlier this year, we produced a 2510 01:01:30,309 --> 01:01:30,319 earlier this year, we produced a 2511 01:01:30,319 --> 01:01:32,950 earlier this year, we produced a comprehensive water management plan uh 2512 01:01:32,950 --> 01:01:32,960 comprehensive water management plan uh 2513 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,710 comprehensive water management plan uh that will guide our path towards better 2514 01:01:34,710 --> 01:01:34,720 that will guide our path towards better 2515 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,950 that will guide our path towards better water resiliency. And alongside the 2516 01:01:36,950 --> 01:01:36,960 water resiliency. And alongside the 2517 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,030 water resiliency.

They did really 3108 01:11:56,310 --> 01:11:56,320 of climate literacy. They did really 3109 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,470 of climate literacy. They did really great community projects, but happy to 3110 01:11:58,470 --> 01:11:58,480 great community projects, but happy to 3111 01:11:58,480 --> 01:11:59,990 great community projects, but happy to send you any details that you want about 3112 01:11:59,990 --> 01:12:00,000 send you any details that you want about 3113 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,070 send you any details that you want about those courses. Yeah. Um, the composting. 3114 01:12:04,070 --> 01:12:04,080 those courses. Yeah. Um, the composting. 3115 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,550 those courses. Yeah. Um, the composting. So, what what changed a few years ago 3116 01:12:06,550 --> 01:12:06,560 So, what what changed a few years ago 3117 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,950 So, what what changed a few years ago and communitywide across the Front Range 3118 01:12:08,950 --> 01:12:08,960 and communitywide across the Front Range 3119 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,830 and communitywide across the Front Range was that we they're no longer accepting 3120 01:12:11,830 --> 01:12:11,840 was that we they're no longer accepting 3121 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,590 was that we they're no longer accepting anything other than food waste and yard 3122 01:12:13,590 --> 01:12:13,600 anything other than food waste and yard 3123 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,189 anything other than food waste and yard waste in the compost, which is probably 3124 01:12:15,189 --> 01:12:15,199 waste in the compost, which is probably 3125 01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:16,630 waste in the compost, which is probably overall a good change. And that was due 3126 01:12:16,630 --> 01:12:16,640 overall a good change. And that was due 3127 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,270 overall a good change. And that was due to communitywide um contamination, not 3128 01:12:19,270 --> 01:12:19,280 to communitywide um contamination, not 3129 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,430 to communitywide um contamination, not to our schools, but um just an issue 3130 01:12:21,430 --> 01:12:21,440 to our schools, but um just an issue 3131 01:12:21,440 --> 01:12:22,470 to our schools, but um just an issue that they were having. When 3132 01:12:22,470 --> 01:12:22,480 that they were having. When 3133 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,470 that they were having. When contamination goes in the compost, it's 3134 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:24,480 contamination goes in the compost, it's 3135 01:12:24,480 --> 01:12:26,149 contamination goes in the compost, it's much harder environmentally than, for 3136 01:12:26,149 --> 01:12:26,159 much harder environmentally than, for 3137 01:12:26,159 --> 01:12:27,510 much harder environmentally than, for example, when contamination goes in 3138 01:12:27,510 --> 01:12:27,520 example, when contamination goes in 3139 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,270 example, when contamination goes in recycling because that what that compost 3140 01:12:29,270 --> 01:12:29,280 recycling because that what that compost 3141 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,030 recycling because that what that compost is doing is going back into the soils 3142 01:12:31,030 --> 01:12:31,040 is doing is going back into the soils 3143 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,630 is doing is going back into the soils and growing new food. And so it's 3144 01:12:32,630 --> 01:12:32,640 and growing new food. And so it's 3145 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:33,990 and growing new food. And so it's problem when there's a plastics for 3146 01:12:33,990 --> 01:12:34,000 problem when there's a plastics for 3147 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,870 problem when there's a plastics for example in there. So we shifted um to 3148 01:12:36,870 --> 01:12:36,880 example in there. So we shifted um to 3149 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,590 example in there. So we shifted um to meet that that new standard that we're 3150 01:12:39,590 --> 01:12:39,600 meet that that new standard that we're 3151 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,070 meet that that new standard that we're looking only at food waste and in some 3152 01:12:42,070 --> 01:12:42,080 looking only at food waste and in some 3153 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,149 looking only at food waste and in some cases garden waste. So that was a a 3154 01:12:44,149 --> 01:12:44,159 cases garden waste. So that was a a 3155 01:12:44,159 --> 01:12:45,910 cases garden waste. So that was a a pretty big reduction for us because we 3156 01:12:45,910 --> 01:12:45,920 pretty big reduction for us because we 3157 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,310 pretty big reduction for us because we were able to do things like colored um 3158 01:12:48,310 --> 01:12:48,320 were able to do things like colored um 3159 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,110 were able to do things like colored um paper and tissue paper and other just 3160 01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:51,120 paper and tissue paper and other just 3161 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:52,470 paper and tissue paper and other just there were a lot of other materials. We 3162 01:12:52,470 --> 01:12:52,480 there were a lot of other materials. We 3163 01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:54,950 there were a lot of other materials. We we had it in our schools um schoolwide 3164 01:12:54,950 --> 01:12:54,960 we had it in our schools um schoolwide 3165 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,390 we had it in our schools um schoolwide and now it's really just focused in the 3166 01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:56,400 and now it's really just focused in the 3167 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,910 and now it's really just focused in the cafeteria. So we were at the 50% red um 3168 01:12:59,910 --> 01:12:59,920 cafeteria. So we were at the 50% red um 3169 01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:01,430 cafeteria. So we were at the 50% red um diversion rate and that dropped. But 3170 01:13:01,430 --> 01:13:01,440 diversion rate and that dropped. But 3171 01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:02,950 diversion rate and that dropped. But that's okay because we've um been able 3172 01:13:02,950 --> 01:13:02,960 that's okay because we've um been able 3173 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,189 that's okay because we've um been able to build back and it's and it's a 3174 01:13:05,189 --> 01:13:05,199 to build back and it's and it's a 3175 01:13:05,199 --> 01:13:07,590 to build back and it's and it's a cleaner um compost that we have. And in 3176 01:13:07,590 --> 01:13:07,600 cleaner um compost that we have. And in 3177 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,590 cleaner um compost that we have. And in fact, the compost from our schools is so 3178 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:09,600 fact, the compost from our schools is so 3179 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,310 fact, the compost from our schools is so clean that um I believe in 10 to 15 of 3180 01:13:12,310 --> 01:13:12,320 clean that um I believe in 10 to 15 of 3181 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,149 clean that um I believe in 10 to 15 of our schools, it's going directly back to 3182 01:13:14,149 --> 01:13:14,159 our schools, it's going directly back to 3183 01:13:14,159 --> 01:13:15,510 our schools, it's going directly back to local farmers. This is a partnership 3184 01:13:15,510 --> 01:13:15,520 local farmers. This is a partnership 3185 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,350 local farmers. This is a partnership with Ecoycle and local farmers and then 3186 01:13:17,350 --> 01:13:17,360 with Ecoycle and local farmers and then 3187 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,709 with Ecoycle and local farmers and then our students get to go visit those 3188 01:13:18,709 --> 01:13:18,719 our students get to go visit those 3189 01:13:18,719 --> 01:13:20,390 our students get to go visit those farms. So, we're doing a really great 3190 01:13:20,390 --> 01:13:20,400 farms. So, we're doing a really great 3191 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,870 farms. So, we're doing a really great job and rebuilding that program. So, 3192 01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:22,880 job and rebuilding that program. So, 3193 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,189 job and rebuilding that program. So, yeah. Anything else to add? I know just 3194 01:13:25,189 --> 01:13:25,199 yeah. Anything else to add? I know just 3195 01:13:25,199 --> 01:13:29,110 yeah. Anything else to add? I know just Yes. Okay.

I I feel very demoralized with some of the 3206 01:13:38,950 --> 01:13:38,960 I feel very demoralized with some of the 3207 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,590 I feel very demoralized with some of the national news around sustainability and 3208 01:13:41,590 --> 01:13:41,600 national news around sustainability and 3209 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,229 national news around sustainability and climate goals and so to see you know us 3210 01:13:44,229 --> 01:13:44,239 climate goals and so to see you know us 3211 01:13:44,239 --> 01:13:46,709 climate goals and so to see you know us meeting these targets and more um you 3212 01:13:46,709 --> 01:13:46,719 meeting these targets and more um you 3213 01:13:46,719 --> 01:13:48,390 meeting these targets and more um you know really gives me hope and hopefully 3214 01:13:48,390 --> 01:13:48,400 know really gives me hope and hopefully 3215 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,310 know really gives me hope and hopefully you know all these all the kids and 3216 01:13:50,310 --> 01:13:50,320 you know all these all the kids and 3217 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:51,430 you know all these all the kids and young people that are following this 3218 01:13:51,430 --> 01:13:51,440 young people that are following this 3219 01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:53,830 young people that are following this that care so much about this. So, um, 3220 01:13:53,830 --> 01:13:53,840 that care so much about this. So, um, 3221 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,910 that care so much about this. So, um, you know, just a whole range of news. 3222 01:13:55,910 --> 01:13:55,920 you know, just a whole range of news. 3223 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,750 you know, just a whole range of news. The meeting our goals, the number of 3224 01:13:57,750 --> 01:13:57,760 The meeting our goals, the number of 3225 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,070 The meeting our goals, the number of kids in, um, earning the seal of climate 3226 01:14:00,070 --> 01:14:00,080 kids in, um, earning the seal of climate 3227 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,630 kids in, um, earning the seal of climate literacy. Um, I had a third one. I don't 3228 01:14:02,630 --> 01:14:02,640 literacy. Um, I had a third one. I don't 3229 01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:03,750 literacy. Um, I had a third one. I don't remember what it is, but I just, yeah, I 3230 01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:03,760 remember what it is, but I just, yeah, I 3231 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:04,790 remember what it is, but I just, yeah, I just want to say thank you for this. 3232 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:04,800 just want to say thank you for this. 3233 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,110 just want to say thank you for this. This is really really, um, always one of 3234 01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:07,120 This is really really, um, always one of 3235 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,550 This is really really, um, always one of my favorite presentations and even more 3236 01:14:08,550 --> 01:14:08,560 my favorite presentations and even more 3237 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,030 my favorite presentations and even more so this year just given how, um, how 3238 01:14:11,030 --> 01:14:11,040 so this year just given how, um, how 3239 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,550 so this year just given how, um, how much we've accomplished as a district. 3240 01:14:12,550 --> 01:14:12,560 much we've accomplished as a district. 3241 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:13,990 much we've accomplished as a district. So, thanks. 3242 01:14:13,990 --> 01:14:14,000 So, thanks. 3243 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:20,550 So, thanks. Thank you. 3244 01:14:20,550 --> 01:14:20,560 3245 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,430 I have two two questions. First, you 3246 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:23,440 I have two two questions. First, you 3247 01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:25,110 I have two two questions. First, you referenced that the state itself has an 3248 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:25,120 referenced that the state itself has an 3249 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,910 referenced that the state itself has an e an EUI goal that's different from our 3250 01:14:27,910 --> 01:14:27,920 e an EUI goal that's different from our 3251 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,830 e an EUI goal that's different from our goal. What is the state's EUI goal? 3252 01:14:29,830 --> 01:14:29,840 goal. What is the state's EUI goal? 3253 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:31,510 goal. What is the state's EUI goal? Do you have that interacting goal? 3254 01:14:31,510 --> 01:14:31,520 Do you have that interacting goal? 3255 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,070 Do you have that interacting goal? So, it's unfortunately a little more 3256 01:14:34,070 --> 01:14:34,080 So, it's unfortunately a little more 3257 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,990 So, it's unfortunately a little more complicated than that. We get to pick 3258 01:14:35,990 --> 01:14:36,000 complicated than that. We get to pick 3259 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,830 complicated than that. We get to pick from 3260 01:14:37,830 --> 01:14:37,840 from 3261 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:39,830 from functionally about eight different goals 3262 01:14:39,830 --> 01:14:39,840 functionally about eight different goals 3263 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:41,990 functionally about eight different goals from each of our sites. Uh we're looking 3264 01:14:41,990 --> 01:14:42,000 from each of our sites. Uh we're looking 3265 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,510 from each of our sites. Uh we're looking at uh EUI, this energy use intensity. We 3266 01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:45,520 at uh EUI, this energy use intensity. We 3267 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,510 at uh EUI, this energy use intensity. We could be looking at um a flat uh 3268 01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:49,520 could be looking at um a flat uh 3269 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,590 could be looking at um a flat uh reduction in our EUI based on the type 3270 01:14:51,590 --> 01:14:51,600 reduction in our EUI based on the type 3271 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,669 reduction in our EUI based on the type of building we have. Uh we could be 3272 01:14:53,669 --> 01:14:53,679 of building we have. Uh we could be 3273 01:14:53,679 --> 01:14:55,990 of building we have. Uh we could be looking at our greenhouse gas intensity. 3274 01:14:55,990 --> 01:14:56,000 looking at our greenhouse gas intensity. 3275 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,830 looking at our greenhouse gas intensity. So rather than looking at energy use, we 3276 01:14:57,830 --> 01:14:57,840 So rather than looking at energy use, we 3277 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,550 So rather than looking at energy use, we could be looking at um emissions 3278 01:15:00,550 --> 01:15:00,560 could be looking at um emissions 3279 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,669 could be looking at um emissions specifically. Um so when I say that 3280 01:15:03,669 --> 01:15:03,679 specifically. Um so when I say that 3281 01:15:03,679 --> 01:15:05,830 specifically. Um so when I say that we've met those thresholds, it means 3282 01:15:05,830 --> 01:15:05,840 we've met those thresholds, it means 3283 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,709 we've met those thresholds, it means we've met at least one of our many 3284 01:15:08,709 --> 01:15:08,719 we've met at least one of our many 3285 01:15:08,719 --> 01:15:10,870 we've met at least one of our many options. 3286 01:15:10,870 --> 01:15:10,880 options. 3287 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,430 options. And the state a few years ago required 3288 01:15:13,430 --> 01:15:13,440 And the state a few years ago required 3289 01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:15,910 And the state a few years ago required um benchmarking for all state buildings 3290 01:15:15,910 --> 01:15:15,920 um benchmarking for all state buildings 3291 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:16,709 um benchmarking for all state buildings 50 3292 01:15:16,709 --> 01:15:16,719 50 3293 01:15:16,719 --> 01:15:19,110 50 5000 square feet and above. So we have 3294 01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:19,120 5000 square feet and above. So we have 3295 01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,070 5000 square feet and above. So we have what 50 3296 01:15:20,070 --> 01:15:20,080 what 50 3297 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,350 what 50 46 I believe of our buildings are 3298 01:15:23,350 --> 01:15:23,360 46 I believe of our buildings are 3299 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:24,790 46 I believe of our buildings are required by benchmark. 3300 01:15:24,790 --> 01:15:24,800 required by benchmark. 3301 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:25,990 required by benchmark. So we send them our information 3302 01:15:25,990 --> 01:15:26,000 So we send them our information 3303 01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,630 So we send them our information annually. Um we are exempt from having 3304 01:15:28,630 --> 01:15:28,640 annually. Um we are exempt from having 3305 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,550 annually. Um we are exempt from having to pay the fines as a school district. 3306 01:15:30,550 --> 01:15:30,560 to pay the fines as a school district. 3307 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,310 to pay the fines as a school district. Um but we wouldn't have had any fines to 3308 01:15:32,310 --> 01:15:32,320 Um but we wouldn't have had any fines to 3309 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,950 Um but we wouldn't have had any fines to pay. So that's okay. And it's actually 3310 01:15:34,950 --> 01:15:34,960 pay. So that's okay. And it's actually 3311 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,270 pay. So that's okay. And it's actually worth mentioning as well that because we 3312 01:15:37,270 --> 01:15:37,280 worth mentioning as well that because we 3313 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,189 worth mentioning as well that because we did so well on these benchmarking goals, 3314 01:15:39,189 --> 01:15:39,199 did so well on these benchmarking goals, 3315 01:15:39,199 --> 01:15:41,830 did so well on these benchmarking goals, I mentioned that $50,000 grant, we were 3316 01:15:41,830 --> 01:15:41,840 I mentioned that $50,000 grant, we were 3317 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,310 I mentioned that $50,000 grant, we were able to apply for that grant through 3318 01:15:44,310 --> 01:15:44,320 able to apply for that grant through 3319 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,070 able to apply for that grant through this benchmarking program. So that 3320 01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:46,080 this benchmarking program. So that 3321 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,669 this benchmarking program. So that helped us out a lot. 3322 01:15:49,669 --> 01:15:49,679 helped us out a lot. 3323 01:15:49,679 --> 01:15:52,950 helped us out a lot. And then um my other question was, 3324 01:15:52,950 --> 01:15:52,960 And then um my other question was, 3325 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,030 And then um my other question was, are you can you identify the barriers to 3326 01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:55,040 are you can you identify the barriers to 3327 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,550 are you can you identify the barriers to the handful of schools that are not 3328 01:15:56,550 --> 01:15:56,560 the handful of schools that are not 3329 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,470 the handful of schools that are not participating yet in trip tracker and 3330 01:15:58,470 --> 01:15:58,480 participating yet in trip tracker and 3331 01:15:58,480 --> 01:16:02,310 participating yet in trip tracker and our ecoycle green star schools programs? 3332 01:16:02,310 --> 01:16:02,320 our ecoycle green star schools programs? 3333 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:03,430 our ecoycle green star schools programs? Well, the exciting news about the 3334 01:16:03,430 --> 01:16:03,440 Well, the exciting news about the 3335 01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:04,950 Well, the exciting news about the ecoycle answer is that all of our 3336 01:16:04,950 --> 01:16:04,960 ecoycle answer is that all of our 3337 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,110 ecoycle answer is that all of our schools will be participating um by the 3338 01:16:07,110 --> 01:16:07,120 schools will be participating um by the 3339 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,189 schools will be participating um by the end of 2026. So, we're all on track and 3340 01:16:09,189 --> 01:16:09,199 end of 2026. So, we're all on track and 3341 01:16:09,199 --> 01:16:10,950 end of 2026. So, we're all on track and we're going to be 100% compliant. That 3342 01:16:10,950 --> 01:16:10,960 we're going to be 100% compliant. That 3343 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,189 we're going to be 100% compliant. That will be our big update next year. Trip 3344 01:16:13,189 --> 01:16:13,199 will be our big update next year. Trip 3345 01:16:13,199 --> 01:16:15,189 will be our big update next year. Trip tracker I cannot speak as well to. Do 3346 01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:15,199 tracker I cannot speak as well to. Do 3347 01:16:15,199 --> 01:16:16,870 tracker I cannot speak as well to. Do you have Yeah. 3348 01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:16,880 you have Yeah. 3349 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,430 you have Yeah. No. And I I think Trip Tracker is so 3350 01:16:19,430 --> 01:16:19,440 No. And I I think Trip Tracker is so 3351 01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:23,430 No. And I I think Trip Tracker is so reliant on community partners, etc. Uh 3352 01:16:23,430 --> 01:16:23,440 reliant on community partners, etc. Uh 3353 01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:25,189 reliant on community partners, etc. Uh however, we have extended that 3354 01:16:25,189 --> 01:16:25,199 however, we have extended that 3355 01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:27,350 however, we have extended that significantly into other parts of our 3356 01:16:27,350 --> 01:16:27,360 significantly into other parts of our 3357 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:28,790 significantly into other parts of our district. It used to be solely around 3358 01:16:28,790 --> 01:16:28,800 district. It used to be solely around 3359 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,950 district. It used to be solely around Boulder, but right now we've really 3360 01:16:30,950 --> 01:16:30,960 Boulder, but right now we've really 3361 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:32,709 Boulder, but right now we've really moved that into Erie Broomfield and 3362 01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:32,719 moved that into Erie Broomfield and 3363 01:16:32,719 --> 01:16:35,030 moved that into Erie Broomfield and other areas, but I'd have to talk to Amy 3364 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:35,040 other areas, but I'd have to talk to Amy 3365 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,470 other areas, but I'd have to talk to Amy Thompson, who's our safe routes to 3366 01:16:36,470 --> 01:16:36,480 Thompson, who's our safe routes to 3367 01:16:36,480 --> 01:16:37,590 Thompson, who's our safe routes to school coordinator, to find out what 3368 01:16:37,590 --> 01:16:37,600 school coordinator, to find out what 3369 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:38,790 school coordinator, to find out what those barriers are. 3370 01:16:38,790 --> 01:16:38,800 those barriers are. 3371 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:39,910 those barriers are. Yeah, that'd be great. And I know you 3372 01:16:39,910 --> 01:16:39,920 Yeah, that'd be great. And I know you 3373 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,430 Yeah, that'd be great. And I know you also have been expanding more into like 3374 01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:41,440 also have been expanding more into like 3375 01:16:41,440 --> 01:16:42,790 also have been expanding more into like high schools, which that didn't used to 3376 01:16:42,790 --> 01:16:42,800 high schools, which that didn't used to 3377 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,750 high schools, which that didn't used to be a program. So, I I I'm observing the 3378 01:16:45,750 --> 01:16:45,760 be a program. So, I I I'm observing the 3379 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,189 be a program. So, I I I'm observing the continued expansion, which I think is 3380 01:16:47,189 --> 01:16:47,199 continued expansion, which I think is 3381 01:16:47,199 --> 01:16:48,390 continued expansion, which I think is great. I know that program is very 3382 01:16:48,390 --> 01:16:48,400 great. I know that program is very 3383 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:49,750 great. I know that program is very wellreceived, particularly by our 3384 01:16:49,750 --> 01:16:49,760 wellreceived, particularly by our 3385 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,990 wellreceived, particularly by our younger students, but just curious about 3386 01:16:51,990 --> 01:16:52,000 younger students, but just curious about 3387 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,669 younger students, but just curious about the barriers that continue to exist that 3388 01:16:53,669 --> 01:16:53,679 the barriers that continue to exist that 3389 01:16:53,679 --> 01:16:55,430 the barriers that continue to exist that may not be within our locus of control 3390 01:16:55,430 --> 01:16:55,440 may not be within our locus of control 3391 01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:57,030 may not be within our locus of control at all. sort of like when we were 3392 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:57,040 at all. sort of like when we were 3393 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,470 at all. sort of like when we were waiting for other localities to get on 3394 01:16:58,470 --> 01:16:58,480 waiting for other localities to get on 3395 01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:00,149 waiting for other localities to get on board with some of the different types 3396 01:17:00,149 --> 01:17:00,159 board with some of the different types 3397 01:17:00,159 --> 01:17:01,990 board with some of the different types of recycling and composting options that 3398 01:17:01,990 --> 01:17:02,000 of recycling and composting options that 3399 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:03,990 of recycling and composting options that were preventing the ecoite the green 3400 01:17:03,990 --> 01:17:04,000 were preventing the ecoite the green 3401 01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,229 were preventing the ecoite the green source school stuff. And then last, I'm 3402 01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:06,239 source school stuff. And then last, I'm 3403 01:17:06,239 --> 01:17:08,149 source school stuff. And then last, I'm just curious as we think about 3404 01:17:08,149 --> 01:17:08,159 just curious as we think about 3405 01:17:08,159 --> 01:17:10,709 just curious as we think about composting um and the changes that we've 3406 01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:10,719 composting um and the changes that we've 3407 01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:12,550 composting um and the changes that we've had to 3408 01:17:12,550 --> 01:17:12,560 had to 3409 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,430 had to adapt to there. I am curious about our 3410 01:17:15,430 --> 01:17:15,440 adapt to there. I am curious about our 3411 01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:17,189 adapt to there. I am curious about our universal free lunch program and how 3412 01:17:17,189 --> 01:17:17,199 universal free lunch program and how 3413 01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:18,790 universal free lunch program and how that may have or may not have been 3414 01:17:18,790 --> 01:17:18,800 that may have or may not have been 3415 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,750 that may have or may not have been changed is changing food waste within 3416 01:17:21,750 --> 01:17:21,760 changed is changing food waste within 3417 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,030 changed is changing food waste within the district and our ability to manage 3418 01:17:23,030 --> 01:17:23,040 the district and our ability to manage 3419 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,510 the district and our ability to manage the food waste and then the composting 3420 01:17:25,510 --> 01:17:25,520 the food waste and then the composting 3421 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,550 the food waste and then the composting of that and delivering it to farms. 3422 01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:28,560 of that and delivering it to farms. 3423 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,790 of that and delivering it to farms. Yeah, it has increased food waste 3424 01:17:30,790 --> 01:17:30,800 Yeah, it has increased food waste 3425 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,110 Yeah, it has increased food waste unfortunately, but the benefits of 3426 01:17:33,110 --> 01:17:33,120 unfortunately, but the benefits of 3427 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,510 unfortunately, but the benefits of course outweigh the negatives on that 3428 01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:35,520 course outweigh the negatives on that 3429 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,350 course outweigh the negatives on that one. So it just allows for more 3430 01:17:37,350 --> 01:17:37,360 one. So it just allows for more 3431 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,590 one.

So it's it that is yes is 3440 01:17:49,189 --> 01:17:49,199 farms. So it's it that is yes is 3441 01:17:49,199 --> 01:17:51,590 farms. So it's it that is yes is increased waste and I'm glad to hear 3442 01:17:51,590 --> 01:17:51,600 increased waste and I'm glad to hear 3443 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,270 increased waste and I'm glad to hear that there is some messaging around that 3444 01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:53,280 that there is some messaging around that 3445 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:54,790 that there is some messaging around that that might be happening at schools to 3446 01:17:54,790 --> 01:17:54,800 that might be happening at schools to 3447 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,110 that might be happening at schools to help remind folks about that impact and 3448 01:17:57,110 --> 01:17:57,120 help remind folks about that impact and 3449 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,310 help remind folks about that impact and how you can drop off that orange into 3450 01:18:00,310 --> 01:18:00,320 how you can drop off that orange into 3451 01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,229 how you can drop off that orange into for somebody else maybe to consume. 3452 01:18:02,229 --> 01:18:02,239 for somebody else maybe to consume. 3453 01:18:02,239 --> 01:18:04,709 for somebody else maybe to consume.

Um, I would say that when those come to me as superintendent, I pass 4582 01:48:37,510 --> 01:48:37,520 come to me as superintendent, I pass 4583 01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:39,109 come to me as superintendent, I pass those on to the research review 4584 01:48:39,109 --> 01:48:39,119 those on to the research review 4585 01:48:39,119 --> 01:48:40,470 those on to the research review committee and then they make a 4586 01:48:40,470 --> 01:48:40,480 committee and then they make a 4587 01:48:40,480 --> 01:48:43,750 committee and then they make a determination which I mostly support 4588 01:48:43,750 --> 01:48:43,760 determination which I mostly support 4589 01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:45,830 determination which I mostly support because they have the understanding of 4590 01:48:45,830 --> 01:48:45,840 because they have the understanding of 4591 01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:48,790 because they have the understanding of how much time um it's going to take from 4592 01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:48,800 how much time um it's going to take from 4593 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,430 how much time um it's going to take from staff, right? I guess you know so to the 4594 01:48:51,430 --> 01:48:51,440 staff, right? I guess you know so to the 4595 01:48:51,440 --> 01:48:55,910 staff, right? I guess you know so to the extent that uh that they are going to 4596 01:48:55,910 --> 01:48:55,920 extent that uh that they are going to 4597 01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,070 extent that uh that they are going to approve 4598 01:48:58,070 --> 01:48:58,080 approve 4599 01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:00,310 approve pro projects up to the amount of time 4600 01:49:00,310 --> 01:49:00,320 pro projects up to the amount of time 4601 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,189 pro projects up to the amount of time they have to commit to those projects 4602 01:49:03,189 --> 01:49:03,199 they have to commit to those projects 4603 01:49:03,199 --> 01:49:04,950 they have to commit to those projects that I do think that that becomes a 4604 01:49:04,950 --> 01:49:04,960 that I do think that that becomes a 4605 01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,629 that I do think that that becomes a limiting factor in a world of uh of of 4606 01:49:08,629 --> 01:49:08,639 limiting factor in a world of uh of of 4607 01:49:08,639 --> 01:49:12,070 limiting factor in a world of uh of of limited resources. Um, and so, you know, 4608 01:49:12,070 --> 01:49:12,080 limited resources. Um, and so, you know, 4609 01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:14,070 limited resources. Um, and so, you know, I do think that there was probably a 4610 01:49:14,070 --> 01:49:14,080 I do think that there was probably a 4611 01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:15,590 I do think that there was probably a time in this district where there was 4612 01:49:15,590 --> 01:49:15,600 time in this district where there was 4613 01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:18,310 time in this district where there was more of a of a stonewall towards, you 4614 01:49:18,310 --> 01:49:18,320 more of a of a stonewall towards, you 4615 01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:19,750 more of a of a stonewall towards, you know, things that could be beneficial 4616 01:49:19,750 --> 01:49:19,760 know, things that could be beneficial 4617 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:21,830 know, things that could be beneficial for Colorado, the nation, our kids, and 4618 01:49:21,830 --> 01:49:21,840 for Colorado, the nation, our kids, and 4619 01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:23,109 for Colorado, the nation, our kids, and I don't think that that's the case 4620 01:49:23,109 --> 01:49:23,119 I don't think that that's the case 4621 01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:25,990 I don't think that that's the case anymore. And I'm happy to have pro have 4622 01:49:25,990 --> 01:49:26,000 anymore. And I'm happy to have pro have 4623 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,390 anymore. And I'm happy to have pro have uh whatever language the the board is 4624 01:49:28,390 --> 01:49:28,400 uh whatever language the the board is 4625 01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:32,149 uh whatever language the the board is comfortable with. I will say that time 4626 01:49:32,149 --> 01:49:32,159 comfortable with. I will say that time 4627 01:49:32,159 --> 01:49:34,229 comfortable with. I will say that time is a limiting factor in the amount of 4628 01:49:34,229 --> 01:49:34,239 is a limiting factor in the amount of 4629 01:49:34,239 --> 01:49:36,229 is a limiting factor in the amount of research that we we can allow other 4630 01:49:36,229 --> 01:49:36,239 research that we we can allow other 4631 01:49:36,239 --> 01:49:38,470 research that we we can allow other research to do within the context of our 4632 01:49:38,470 --> 01:49:38,480 research to do within the context of our 4633 01:49:38,480 --> 01:49:41,350 research to do within the context of our school district. And sometimes those are 4634 01:49:41,350 --> 01:49:41,360 school district. And sometimes those are 4635 01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,669 school district. And sometimes those are benefits to us. Often those are times to 4636 01:49:43,669 --> 01:49:43,679 benefits to us. Often those are times to 4637 01:49:43,679 --> 01:49:45,990 benefits to us. Often those are times to you know the benefit of of just the you 4638 01:49:45,990 --> 01:49:46,000 you know the benefit of of just the you 4639 01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,430 you know the benefit of of just the you know research as a whole. So um I just 4640 01:49:49,430 --> 01:49:49,440 know research as a whole. So um I just 4641 01:49:49,440 --> 01:49:50,870 know research as a whole. So um I just want to be clear like when we're talking 4642 01:49:50,870 --> 01:49:50,880 want to be clear like when we're talking 4643 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:53,030 want to be clear like when we're talking about research 4644 01:49:53,030 --> 01:49:53,040 about research 4645 01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:55,750 about research um that you know district time you know 4646 01:49:55,750 --> 01:49:55,760 um that you know district time you know 4647 01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:57,669 um that you know district time you know we have to account for that. There's a 4648 01:49:57,669 --> 01:49:57,679 we have to account for that. There's a 4649 01:49:57,679 --> 01:49:59,350 we have to account for that. There's a committee who oversees that not one 4650 01:49:59,350 --> 01:49:59,360 committee who oversees that not one 4651 01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:01,189 committee who oversees that not one person. I'm not on the committee. I 4652 01:50:01,189 --> 01:50:01,199 person. I'm not on the committee. I 4653 01:50:01,199 --> 01:50:03,430 person. I'm not on the committee. I refer these things to the committee. Um 4654 01:50:03,430 --> 01:50:03,440 refer these things to the committee. Um 4655 01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:05,669 refer these things to the committee. Um and then uh these are not things where 4656 01:50:05,669 --> 01:50:05,679 and then uh these are not things where 4657 01:50:05,679 --> 01:50:09,030 and then uh these are not things where we're we're creating exper experimental 4658 01:50:09,030 --> 01:50:09,040 we're we're creating exper experimental 4659 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:11,990 we're we're creating exper experimental tactics or strategies uh that some folks 4660 01:50:11,990 --> 01:50:12,000 tactics or strategies uh that some folks 4661 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,590 tactics or strategies uh that some folks get and others don't. Then we see what 4662 01:50:13,590 --> 01:50:13,600 get and others don't. Then we see what 4663 01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:15,510 get and others don't. Then we see what works or doesn't work. Uh when we're 4664 01:50:15,510 --> 01:50:15,520 works or doesn't work. Uh when we're 4665 01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:17,030 works or doesn't work. Uh when we're talking about teaching and learning, we 4666 01:50:17,030 --> 01:50:17,040 talking about teaching and learning, we 4667 01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:18,950 talking about teaching and learning, we want to use what the research says works 4668 01:50:18,950 --> 01:50:18,960 want to use what the research says works 4669 01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,109 want to use what the research says works for all kids. Uh so I just want to be 4670 01:50:21,109 --> 01:50:21,119 for all kids. Uh so I just want to be 4671 01:50:21,119 --> 01:50:28,310 for all kids. Uh so I just want to be really clear on on that, 4672 01:50:28,310 --> 01:50:28,320 4673 01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:31,669 Alex. 4674 01:50:31,669 --> 01:50:31,679 4675 01:50:31,679 --> 01:50:33,590 Thank you.

I mean, at the end of the day, the 5272 02:03:10,790 --> 02:03:10,800 I mean, at the end of the day, the 5273 02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:12,390 I mean, at the end of the day, the district decides what is or is not 5274 02:03:12,390 --> 02:03:12,400 district decides what is or is not 5275 02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:13,830 district decides what is or is not acceptable, what meets the standards of 5276 02:03:13,830 --> 02:03:13,840 acceptable, what meets the standards of 5277 02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:15,750 acceptable, what meets the standards of good scholarship, what can serve our 5278 02:03:15,750 --> 02:03:15,760 good scholarship, what can serve our 5279 02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:17,510 good scholarship, what can serve our students or doesn't. So, I'm not sure it 5280 02:03:17,510 --> 02:03:17,520 students or doesn't. So, I'm not sure it 5281 02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,510 students or doesn't. So, I'm not sure it adds anything. So, maybe confusion by 5282 02:03:19,510 --> 02:03:19,520 adds anything. So, maybe confusion by 5283 02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:21,270 adds anything. So, maybe confusion by distinguishing. And so, I'm not I think 5284 02:03:21,270 --> 02:03:21,280 distinguishing. And so, I'm not I think 5285 02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:23,350 distinguishing. And so, I'm not I think that's where I'm at. I'm not sure that 5286 02:03:23,350 --> 02:03:23,360 that's where I'm at. I'm not sure that 5287 02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:25,109 that's where I'm at. I'm not sure that there's a value add by adding those 5288 02:03:25,109 --> 02:03:25,119 there's a value add by adding those 5289 02:03:25,119 --> 02:03:28,550 there's a value add by adding those words. um 5290 02:03:28,550 --> 02:03:28,560 words. um 5291 02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:29,910 words. um maybe for the potential value for the 5292 02:03:29,910 --> 02:03:29,920 maybe for the potential value for the 5293 02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:31,669 maybe for the potential value for the school district to serve its students or 5294 02:03:31,669 --> 02:03:31,679 school district to serve its students or 5295 02:03:31,679 --> 02:03:32,870 school district to serve its students or something along those lines, but I don't 5296 02:03:32,870 --> 02:03:32,880 something along those lines, but I don't 5297 02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:35,350 something along those lines, but I don't really see 5298 02:03:35,350 --> 02:03:35,360 really see 5299 02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:37,030 really see I'm not sure that it changes anything by 5300 02:03:37,030 --> 02:03:37,040 I'm not sure that it changes anything by 5301 02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:39,270 I'm not sure that it changes anything by adding that language.
