9.2.1. Property Purchase #9866 - 1475 NW 48th Street
Rationale:
It is recommended that Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) purchase real estate generally located on the corner of West Holdrege Street and NW 48th Streets, Lancaster County, Nebraska, which is currently owned by 1475 NW 48TH ST LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company with a physical address of 1475 NW 48th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68528, and with the following legal description: Lot 67 NW, Section 19, Township 10 North, Range 6 East of the 6th P.M., Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, consisting of approximately 0.85 net acres of land (hereinafter the "Property").
Explanation
The purchase calls for payment of $185,000.00 plus payment of any development and closing costs. The Board’s Planning Committee recommends the purchase. Proposal That the Board discuss, consider, approve, and adopt the following proposed resolution with 1475 NW 48TH ST LLC: BE IT RESOLVED, by Lancaster County School District No. 0001, a/k/a Lincoln Public Schools, a Class IV School District under the laws and statutes of the State of Nebraska, at this regular meeting of its Board of Education, ("LPS"), that the Property Purchase and Sale Agreement for the 1475 NW 48TH ST LLC (hereinafter the "Agreement") in the form as discussed at this meeting and on file with official LPS records, available on request as permitted by law, and with such negotiated changes as are approved by the Associate Superintendent of Business Affairs, should be and is hereby authorized and approved; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Associate Superintendent for Business Affairs or a designee for the school district should be and is hereby delegated the authority and is authorized and directed to sign execute and deliver such Agreement and any other documents or agreements called for in such Agreement or determined to be in the best interest of the school district, for and on behalf of LPS, and is further hereby delegated the authority and is authorized and directed to complete and pay for all due diligence requirements, to retain and pay any engineers, environmental experts, and other necessary professionals for assistance in completing the purchase and sale transaction and in the site development, to sign execute, deliver and perform all Property or surrounding property development, infrastructure, annexation or street agreements with 1475 NW 48TH ST LLC, the City of Lincoln or any other parties, to pay the purchase price, development costs and expenses, and all transaction costs and expenses as provided in the Agreement or as otherwise necessary in the best interests of LPS, and to take or cause to be taken all other action necessary or appropriate to close the purchase and conveyance transaction upon satisfactory completion of due diligence, presentation by Seller of good title and an acceptable warranty deed or other necessary documents on the described Property to be purchased, received and developed by LPS under the Agreement or otherwise for LPS school purposes. |
9.2.2. Newly Annexed Property to the City of Lincoln

9.3.1. United Way of Lincoln Emerging Leaders United Grant - Creative Learning Spaces
Rationale:
United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County’s Emerging Leaders United affinity group is seeking proposals to support the development of creative learning spaces in Lincoln and Lancaster County. Ideally, responses will be for a one-time project in support of the goals of ENGAGE.EMPOWER. GRADUATE., a United Way supported initiative. A creative learning space is an alternative physical space that promotes and facilitates learning and achievement of educational outcomes for students. A creative learning space can either supplement classroom learning or be a space that meets the needs of students who might not be served by a traditional classroom setting.
Explanation Norwood Park Elementary School would like to request grant funds to support the continued development of alternative learning environments for students in the school gym. Space for Norwood Park’s Community Learning Center (CLC), which is run in partnership with Northeast Family Center, is limited to the school gym for before and after school programming. While this space is quite large, it is also quite challenging to have multiple activities going on at the same time, particularly any that require calm and quiet. Last year, Norwood Park received grant funds through the Interlocal Agreement to develop a prototype "zone" for the gym that includes comfortable, more home-like furnishings and equipment that can be used for study, art, reading, or for students who just need some quiet to be calm and regroup before or after the school day. It quickly became clear that students benefited from this space with calmer behaviors and greater efficiency in homework completion. With almost half of the school utilizing this space, additional "learning zones" are needed. Grant funds would also support the purchase of curriculum and supplies to allow students to explore interests and career options during their CLC time, stimulating curiosity and self-exploration as well. Proposal That the Board discuss the submission of the United Way Emerging Leaders United’s Creative Learning Spaces Grant application for $10,000. The grant is for a one-year period, and there is no match requirement. The grant application is due March 27, 2020 |
9.3.2. U.S. Department of Justice Federal Grant - School Violence Prevention Grant Program
Rationale:
Lincoln Public Schools proposes to write a competitive application to the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), within the U.S. Department of Justice. This application is in response to the School Violence Prevention Program Grant. This program is designed to provide funding to improve security at schools and on school grounds through the following strategies: coordination with local law enforcement; training for local law enforcement officers to prevent student violence against others and self; placement and use of deterrent equipment; and acquisition and installation of technology for expedited notification of local law enforcement during an emergency.
Explanation In addition to the district threat assessment team, LPS utilizes many procedures and systems in order to ensure the safety of students and staff. These include regular drills to prepare for emergencies, security cameras at all high schools, the use of Standard Response Protocol established for the district, crisis response plans at each school, and an active partnership with local law enforcement and safety experts to help inform our work. An additional layer of support that would strengthen the district’s safety protocols is enhanced digital monitoring technology. Increasingly, students use digital environments like the Google Suite of web applications to create and revise documents in addition to collaborating with teachers and fellow students. As is common in any learning environment, some of the interaction is social. While teachers are very adept at creating and maintaining safe learning environments in their physical classrooms, digital learning environments pose new challenges, particularly when students continue to interact in them outside the classroom. Digital monitoring platforms make it possible to ensure students’ "voices" in the Google environment are heard just as they would be in a traditional classroom. While such platforms use the latest technology methods to review content, they use human staff review and alert school staff to indications of existing or contemplated unsafe behavior. The district will apply for grant funds to purchase a real-time web-filtering platform for digital monitoring of district-sponsored content. Proposal That the Board discuss the submission of the School Violence Prevention Grant application for up to $500,000 for a 36-month period. There is a 25% match requirement, which will be provided through existing district threat assessment team staff time as in-kind contribution. The grant application is due April 8, 2020. |

Rationale:

Explanation It is recommended that an additional award be made to: Génesis Contracting Group (Lincoln, Nebraska) $790,419.00 A complete bid tabulation is available in the Purchasing Department. This will be a total expenditure of $790,419.00 from the Deprecation Fund.
