Cal grant thanks for speaking about past present future well as duration by the project and then we will move on to an open Forum where you will be able to have the opportunity to speak with your husband who is God thank you for the spokesman why we are here and restaurant but it wasn't because you're your stories you see this project and honestly I think me and my D we've done all we can do after this point this is now in the hands of support from the body everybody doesn't like this idea and we can pack it and go home but if we feel strongly about it that this is the opportunity for all the parents. do you want to get as much time for you to spend. so with that I don't know how many people understand this concept of shooting and this whole IRA I don't know turn off programs that are organized the decision to make sure that exact reason their relationship where this the school is one of the Committees that the shooter and I are spent off so we can look after the Fifth Element Robin and I are on the stool and decision like this expansion has to be done with employment from the shore so. That's kind of like this one and the relationship between the school so we can start I'm going to go through a couple of things this is the committee team station everybody's here now you have faces to the names of all of us or emails are available on any website what he wants to do contact me or anybody we're trying to communicate with anybody with me I want to go through so we're here because we feel like we picked out all the continents that week Shopkins in this facility in this location the challenge just to sum it up in addition to not having to have work you then we also cannot have a high look on this campus into zoning issues. Stablished 9th grade and about so that's the primary reason that we're looking outside where I feel like it's been awhile the space-time just with the girlfriend I'll wait unless that we keep seeing all the last for 34 years we just need to do something underscore we go I just want to go please get through something that's 3 because attempts because I think it's always good to look back before you start moving forward so so we have several that expand our school start in 2000 but there was an opportunity on the nearby there's some effort by the community came back then to to get this off the ground but unfortunately it wasn't approved this was before my time so I don't have all the details and I won't borrow a couple years later on 5 p.m. and then a year later there was another attempt to try to go to somewhere on Harrison Avenue which is Western Parkway right now going through. history is there wasn't any direction to what should be done to gain acceptance for a problem so trying to steal 2016 there was a suggestion by Brother Glenn someone who passed away recently the importance of this is the proposal was to best puns for 25 million dollars to establish the campus for the school so you were talking about 2016 25 million-dollar was the projected cost vs talking about today with all the craziness with three stayed with talking about 16 minutes so I think we have a good deal in front of us and the parents kill baby under still remember I want okay I'm looking at the building said you can't have a first grader to go below and second floor so we have to actually decrease then I'm going to fly and then we have conversation within the school committee to try to find an alternative was to try to expand and there was a conversation with me something died in 2018 unfortunately nothing happened until this year in federal that you might know has expectations of a school where we started hitting the world started building the waiting list so I would need went beyond. actually tried to stand up her High School down the road in Hillsboro the dragon workout for different reasons but we learned a lot in high school. so that was super popular. Austin Parkway smoke so I think it's important in terms of the need has been there for me for us to expand for a while and make sure that Indian miss this opportunity and then somebody other than me, tell me movies 2026 we tried to do some dancing in the street and field I want to talk about some of the problems we're facing today so I can go in I was reflecting on in the gym and I was thinking about this 177 students educational it just read them there for some home for the kids to be together. So, that's how I process and I'm done. opportunities for for kids to do things on their own without having to schedule to play musical chairs with ducks with other 50 Cent In this so that's kind of the problem let's grab a monkey face you know I left a hundred on it please it's 6 days so we're not going to do it but then we want to 11 face but the idea is that we we have a big enough that we can stock Goldman right there and then we start building a program for high school and space for high school and then keep progressing a for one hour for a capacity for Galveston Park 1000 students which I I think that's happening with how many children are being added to the problem you need it sooner rather than later do Eastern Parkway this is diagnosed for it it's almost an acre piece of land in there is a building on it that is 1,000 square feet are we estimated its capacity to it's Spence very nicely structure that's when we started looking out what we need to get there before it was very easy for our trip. We have parking space for the size of the building and capacity right now we are in contract to purchasing 14.3 million dollars and the renovation is estimated at around 5 so so that's think about this as an investment for education just for just building So the plan is once we move in with start immediately working 20 hours a day most days for High School classrooms and also additional programs like one of the things that we're making just to be friends with whatever they are not going to have a gym building to stand up for myself from day one that's one of the things that we need to start working on dry immediately after we understand because it's not so much of a tablet having the funds are having the time to build these additional facilities that are soft or approvals from the town of Cary that has to be done and they're very meticulous very small working through that process example I asked for my 12 to 18 months just to get approval from the town so we want to wait for that before we start moving into the existing building and start bringing in the kids on the waiting list it might makes it actually makes more sense to just start there and then start building improvement from that point on next Friday are they gonna think we're working on it though so we're making sure that our transaction contractual language and germs are surely a compliance and heavily involved in reviewing all of our contracts and he said all these legal documents to Mexico. we're not sleeping any better, I'll do that this transaction I'm tired of this. huge crowd of people standing in the back by the way if you want to come sit up in the front please feel free slots of space up here and you're always welcome to come closer and see the numbers in more detail I'm going to share some numbers because we the school committee want you to know the number these are your numbers as much they are our numbers we are all investing in this together these are big numbers I need my school to buy this property to make the approximately 16 million dollar invested is contemplating a 30-year lease to own that means we lease the building we pay monthly payments every month for 30 years and then we own the property you ain't the structure because of brother what the that we want to follow Islamic guidelines for transactions we don't want to go to a bank and borrow money from the bank and by the school because as far as we are aware that is not technically Islamic we were using the least known structure in doing that structure we expect our monthly lease payments to be about $130,000 and I will pay you back on the high-end I see some places already like 130000 hours we are thinking about the worst case scenario this hours doing this work we are aggressively working to find every mechanism possible to lower this number on top of that we spent about $20,000 a month to maintain the building somebody has to mow the lawn somebody has to pay the electric bill you have to pay for the water and so on and so forth they cost at the new school will be about $150,000 next line I drunk a lot comments about 16 million dollars this is so much and my response to you all is schools are expensive there's a reason they're expensive schools and education are the most important investment you will make as a community if you want an example look at our own government Wake County the B was a 500 today would spank us to 105 billion dollars we are spending only 16 million dollars 85% discount to what Wake County would pay next line if you want to know more details we looked at the Lake County budget for new schools over the next six years over the next six years Bay County plans to build 11 new school that was her about 12,500 students that would yield about 2 million square feet of space with a budget of 2.6 billion with a B 2.6 billion dollars that's 239 million dollars that is equivalent of $1,262 per square foot of space public schools are investing in $210,000 per investing about the level of investment the elements. send 500 student a 31000 square-foot building 16 million-dollar dust now if you break it down for student in per square foot you can see we are spending a frac at what weight County would spend the school if we were doing this project the way we are we spending only $32,000 compared to $210,000 now I don't know how you don't feel I'm up here an item I love this community I love the Muslim study more than anybody else on education we should have the best schools in the country and everybody should be lining up come to our tradition we lead when it comes to now acacia I've also got this question what do you want to build a new school from the ground up how much would it cost if you bought throwing up completely random number 7 billion dollars to paulino's three billion dollars let's look at facts based on information we have 10 acres of land 5 to 10 million dollars not question I just wanted to say this is market-based by based on the Patriot project dangerous spending $350 per square foot to build the 4:11 building that building is building do you have to have more furniture in dollars per square foot to build a new school the same size building anywhere brand new will get back to you about $13 so when you combine the price depend Elite Advanced + 13 million dollars a brand new project of the same size the same amount of land the same amount of square feet would be 18 to 23 billion dollars the largest project in the triangle as far as I'm aware but we need more context this is the reality this is the context of investment in schools in facilities now another question we get on how can we afford to make these payments over 30 years that's a lot of money did you take the $530,000 per month over 30 years it's $59 maybe more that's a very good question question but again needs a text over 30 years Emily Mansfield with open the new location and only have five hundred children and do more for the entire day how do you pronounce Google generate Believe It or Not 290 million dollars in total revenue I know it sounds like a lot really in the grand scheme of 500 students and 30 years it's a very reasonable number we estimate about 190 million of that is non space cost teachers benefits equipment got a hundred billion dollars for space cost and what we are proposing again for 30 years for only five hundred students 58 million dollars please please $49 for additional roof got a few children I think you all know this by now we have more than 500 kids in the community who won in the Islamic education we have 334 school today we have 177 I guess you were 500 that does not account witness and other triangle area stomach school next line weather weather well he's been dealing with we have a survey alive survey we all want you all of you every single person here take your phone out and stand up qr-code please scan the code fill out the survey the survey asked some really important questions we want your opinion whether or not you think it's the terrible idea. great idea please please please share your opinion stop laughing that's weird he said that describes our strategy find seagull of guidance and always be resourceful in terms of figuring out Solutions and we came to the conclusion that we can sold these problems in a strategy that work through the problems based on prior is in faces at a time one of the things that we also focusing on with the strategy in having this Financial independence of his phone so you don't have to expand and or add more programs just based on how the format we are presently very important because once we once we reach five our financial Independence Day and then we can do lots of things we can we can have high school we can have more problems but also we can we can have to let you know even if then our situation and see how much you actually take off for balance in the future with this approach next line so when we started looking at the first we decided we didn't want to alienate balance. Bring the kids to school today for many years to come with them to find any suitable but we insisted on this because we know that many parents are Adidas next sacrifices in terms of their drive-thru school we just didn't want to make that works for I would like to know how it's done that's a tricky balance and we probably did not address that for all the times but the criteria we came up with this to stay within 5 Mi of this current location so that that was the important criteria number one and then next Friday so if you look at Weston Parkway and Lisa criteria is also we we sink because of its location off of Patterson Avenue and I40 and it's easy for people to get in and out of from that area you might care about my health care about but it ends up being able to sync your lunch and things like that for for the children behind options then we started looking at space and we we didn't say whether we want to build something or or have something already built in this is that I have been together since we talked about this leads to destruction that we have some when we sat down at the conversation are we going to respond and we were thinking we going to go multiple New Jersey trying to figure out how to get them the money has been this partner showed up trying to convince us to do business with when we started talking that partner we started talking about building a new facility and then we didn't like the fact that's going to take four years at least you have a building standing up so he he started talk helping us with just three fit in existing building that's when we started accelerating towards doing something right now because it's really opened up the opportunity for us to to address the concern that we just concerned for the week song this space we have somehow we find a new location the building on side like I said before it's built in a way that you can easily our purpose and utilize kitchen space for our so that's what we have. Trying to do right now and then it has a room for space through be able to build High School definition soccer field at some point so these are all check boxes that we were going to so this is the right of me some of the details of how this breaks down so you can stop thinking about the corner of the building you can let's talk about the space because space is important in schools first of all people die our decision-makers when the room and love for you all to participate raise your hand if you have a high today for had a child in the red Chase Building most people here raise your hand if you have seen the inside of the classrooms in the red brick building raise your hand if you think those are amazing spaces thank you amazing amazing part of the leaves are amazing space for 30 years I said it's our children class GameStop Optimus space 30 years all of the people who participated in starting and had the vision and Investments organization of a 15 plus thousand congregants that building is not up to par with what we can and should be doing in terms of space this war plan has I want to be completely transparent I want this to be a Rosy picture about this being a big space plan this is glorious every single Nerf War Glass glass the children will get to see outside don't get natural light to get all the benefits of a beautiful classroom space every class in this building will have between fifteen and twenty students right now for those of you who are parents of the school we have some classrooms where children anymore in some cases are packed into the classroom we are working to design this building so that we have father decides classes does this mean it will be perfect no does this mean we're getting a Wake County level for building you bought from the earlier we are spending a fraction of what we can expect on space and this is what we're delivering for them fraction of investment this is the property of the building now you seen the building I hope many of you were gone and looked at the property you enter from the Upper Floor and then there's a lower lower below the property kind of slows down so that you enter on the on the hopper and then and then they're going to have a basement style for a while or you enter and you see the Swiss lower this drawing shows One Wing of the building there being a very large Library space on the level some administrative space some loving and then what we're calling time the cafeteria again of the schools especially when they're in this early stage it's very very common for schools to have a Capuchin midoriya everything is like kind of switch together because they're trying to figure Arabic space where I am which by the way some honolua is oriented to the people already we didn't plan that it just happened that way we went right there isn't that in the Box on the left 15 classrooms on this Opera War mostly for lower grades next line the bottom of the basement warlock of a better term has an addition where we will have the higher level G here we have science lab to get written for Teacher a workroom and someone there are as is the case with any normally functioning building a lot of space Canticle elevator the building so you need have faced with the elevator and all of its equipment and saw lots of space like this that are just kind of empty that's because you have a lot of run a building like this flashlight so diamond we talked about this already there's an urgency to take an action by and we believe that this is a good chance of having a partner who's willing to take a loaner lease the property back. and allow us to move forward more importantly this is a good time for us so I am probably the worst person when it comes to calling people tell Andreas I just I'm not comfortable asking people to put money in August 6th I think it should come from the Island Rock from brother and I had to do this very wonderful so you can think about this I was tuning this to my things instead of witnesses I'm good with numbers I'm not good with asking people for money but this isn't being able to declare Financial Independence Public School so we don't have to bother you with Verizon family will but not to the full extent and we don't have to overwork and I are also trying to figure out how to of the school I think I remember this job do you get that the split of my ground and up and running to this point but I think you are a very smart decision to do for us to be able to take and do it as well as reach our own independence and that's very important I don't know how how often we going to have a situation like this when I talked to the shooter I said the worst thing we can do is nothing but you were definitely taking steps backwards and we shouldn't even talk to latent meaning that situation that's the important thing is that we can actually have this building right now the plan is to go get the shootout blue robin able to close on the property in November and then have the girls are coming in on stock 2024 this is not that part was flooded and I don't notice how people feel about that but this is like a tremendous thing I don't have to wait multiple years it's really bothersome for me probably more for the administration team you could they speak to one of you will have to get on the waiting list I really would like to talk about my I think they have a good solution for so so we're trying to effectively move us forward. Just joking about the waiting list I think that's a conversation that doesn't even need a discussion about the priorities of so I think we need to be more strategic in terms of how soon we can get into a high school situation and be able to build that program honest all right so we bout to do a number to get to go party with Morgan but now but this is more to cover the front of the school to have them size of Bali okay Mart number sorry before we jump into the numbers I want to add a comment about the developer because there's been some feedback about this topic as well this is a small project in the world of real estate development I want to say that out loud because I understand that for the community 60 million dollars is a lot of money in the real estate industry 16 million dollars is like a couple of mass food restaurants it's a relatively small project in the development community so I say that because we got some feedback well who's the development partner can we understand more about that talk about a quick second if you don't mind I want to address this development Partners a local organization based in Raleigh the family-owned development business any of you here know about tmsa TMS a triangle Math and Science Academy and built tmsa they built the original property and carry their building the new tmsa campus in middle schools in Charlotte Asheville and darling Florida Texas and they're based in Raleigh this is what they do as their Core Business it's a small business it's a few family members and additional staff and they met drop it off of development as developers do it to the developer this is something I want to make sure you all are aware of and I know how much I'll let the Muslim Community we have this beautiful tradition of doing things for the sake but don't be surprised when people in the business World Muslim or not want to do things for the sake of all. And one of a Prophet this is the reality they're going to make a profit on this project and guess what that should be okay with us if there was any of us in our businesses looking to make a profit and and we are structuring the deal in as much a way possible to protect our interest we have lawyers designers planners and I are sitting here we're working on this project and are trying to ensure that the deal is good is it near height is a perfect isn't bulletproof No No Such Thing exists I work in this business I'm sure many of you have business of your own there is no such thing as a perfect airtight Blue Room transaction doesn't exist this group is working aggressively the closest many loopholes or issues or concerns as possible to make this reality a part of that is understanding what it takes to make the school financially viable number one we have to grow Eric Roman today we're out about 300 kids we technically have a capacity of 300 we've squeezed 334 into that space we need to grow 150 kids on day one in Charlotte next ball X August still open then we need to grow up by about 25 kids for year until we get to work and pasta D not doing consequent staying in the exact same building that first building all the way through no we hope the girls building will have additional space maybe we'll have modular classrooms also known as trailers if you've ever been to a public school that's growing they have trailers everywhere this is the reality of school when you are building and growing US Pool the marginal cost for establishing a space is tight enough and complex and time-consuming and not the cheat to fill that Gap with trailer we will likely pursue that approach as the school to grow but it called the grown up over 500 kids with in a 5 years. Lol text line we need to increase tuition to address inflation and make this project a reality this is a fact the community have been paying very very very very low equation for many many years in North Carolina the private school Community today is paying $9,696 in tuition per child is that 1500 or already below average in the state public schools their Benchmark Public School spend $12,000 per year per child educate their children so we have to go onto a ship this is an unavoidable fact you'll see that we contemplate going a little over $9,000 in the first year and then from there growing up to a $11,000, I know many of you are looking at that and getting there it's a very natural reaction a lot of money for child but next line We Believe very much animals can you give me the acceptable to anybody who wants to speak Islamic so we can set it up where to go and eat whenever we make decisions and we are a huge user of the opportunity scholarship please raise your hand if you know what the opportunity scholarship is good the goal today is that by the end of this day a hundred percent you should know what the opportunity scholarship is a long time in our community it has been described as the state welfare program that is not in accurate description the opportunity scholarship is a school voucher program is a voucher not allow a program Voucher Program Voucher Program are designed so that family who choose to send their children to other non-public schools get money to make it easier and more accessible now right now the opportunity scholarship as an income threshold $130,000 household income for a family of four that is not a welfare program $130,000 household income for a family of court so my comment I got smoke it's fine if you don't already know about the opportunity scholarship please go to the website and if you are eligible to buy get that money it is going to save you money no matter what the decision is with the school the state of North Carolina and our legislature has proposed a significant expansion the opportunity scholarship this is one of those this is elastic read the Muslim Community unfortunately another this happen from Alcatraz control in the state legislature the state legislature has a program Beginning by removing income limits that means every can get State doctoral program money every single person every household every child enrollment in the opportunity scholarship next year and highest earning people I mean million-dollar incomes have more will get $3,300 per year per child for this voucher program so that's the number you called at 9,000 changed 1011 thousand dollars out of the pocket in this program has been approved by the legislature there just debating some number to state budget it should pass by next program up and running for the medium and lower-income households Georgia bus you can get up to $7,300 per child for this program is $10,000 2007 dollars out-of-pocket. Is accessibility we had nothing to do with that and yes I'm kind of LOL I have delivered this program on our doorstep is tuition increases not only you will likely experience a decrease in your cost of Education arguments both excellent okay so you can with rigorous analysis of renting we have to be prepared with contingency next line number one we need to grow at a savings bond today as approximately billion dollars in the bank this is from the last few years of saving and making our budget really tight and efficient than amazing administrators teachers will sacrifice tremendously a level worth of immensely they have sacrificed tremendously to get the school to this point we should do better with that but they sacrificed as a result our goal of $7 discussion about who can make a payment on the lease on the lease the school is backed up by the books the school is gone the more likely scenario what happened to the school runs a little short Allah forbid there's another pandemic we have a decrease in our own role in what happens in that scenario we dip entire cash savings this is the way of a household we're not right you have cash a bank if something happens you run short on money one month and your cash savings the next item is in our lease we have identified terms that allow us to reset the least bacon cheaper eventually so right now the least payment you got the number we think that in a couple of years as the economy changes and as one of the world's a balls that there will be romance or we can ask the property owner to change the terms of the lease and make that amount lower it like we're making out to turn in the lease and lastly if we have no other option we come to you all and ask you to support the school this community has supported the school for 30 years we have no doubt that the school will continue to support future X line all right the last set of the last item here I need my school now he's IR reality there's some important decisions in the

question or comment please line up at the Isle and we will start taking those I could not put my play this is willing to move hacks to get one of these kids and just get your right in 2005 week 9 Rhapsody in Thousand Oaks area in 2015 through 2013 and 2015 36,000 people we can support how many 350 students today so we're not one not too bad to see me. nearest Exxon Mobil did they make a decision now then there are many communities with mountains yet somehow they were able to meet and I don't know what that is like I don't think that it is able to get more community our students are children with the Via with other with the with the koala in their in their education and I think that we're feeling at that and I think that if we don't act today that it's going to be a real really bad I'll be in trouble. good question we are working on a turn with them that if they are delayed because of construction they're going to help us find a temporary solution or six months call it so we are able to move in delay the start of the school year to find a temporary solution for Avalon it takes about 6 months in the winter break time what's the temperature finding an alternative space for that 6 months. So, did the original enrollment guarantee you in the development would help us find a solution what's prevents the new space from getting into the same position right now we put them in a position to not be amazed by over enrolling students and making them are making their classrooms car through that it's in hand so what prevents us from getting into situation years down the road where we're not going to be just over cuttings thing Plastics excellent excellent question you and I talked about this so I'll just start by saying phase growth means we don't stop we don't take our foot off the gas after we open the doors to the first building to brother what's on this may have two family in after the doors open we're going to get to work on the next building immediately and tell us we don't simulator Maps Lodi community advocate for the past six years I worked in the construction dust it's 16 million dollars is nothing I've been through the charge my company is blowing at you right now and we came to the point where they had the challenge of stopping the struction. That goes back of my throat is projects cups for one year encounter a loss of bone Striker at one point two million dollars because we stopped and we were able to recover those that money from here trying to get this money was never an object here we always were able to beat that challenge of not having we always had money and all this money always showed up at the right time so I don't want that Financial aspect used to be a showstopper for school also I believe that this school has become this is I would say I'm not ashamed for I am but I think it's becoming the shooter action we already see what our student body exposed to public school without going into detail is not going to slow down it's actually going to become stronger an older so I was getting are now and I will see you in a bit either we stay in as much as we possibly could otherwise it's time to Disco local partner I dealt with them DMs I know them very well I asked my company built their school that carry campus that's right behind there Katie order part and I participated why would you get stationed a Brent cell definitely who found the right person to do this once you found someone is coming to get you I'm going to give you the money to offset the building next to the building just give me payments the Cobra do I delete now it's the time for this community for supporting the project because definitely coming on you know I've been here things to think about I want Sonic you know what it is I want to bring up the Friday prayers we bring it over 500 people are for this weekend Johnson Street are witches not say it could hurt or harm or something to seal up the crack there are 40 seconds back. 47 second graders to the second floor and there are 37 third graders use at once we have to make Badoo because there's not enough for them to get ready for prayer and that's something we have to think about we have 11 staff members downstairs this new Facility have seen and I walked in on even the work room that is our Revenue building is amazing compared to what we have on our new sister building you have such a longing to take them and I don't know why but it'd be nice to be able to have to worry about anything the ventilation system how to buy the first floor. I don't know what it is they are so space is what we need of safety and I hope you guys think about it because I think this one is wrong the Lights Went Out and the people on Skype please help Mastermind cuz this is your job to find the building I'm sorry for that Prescott AZ can you tell my brother that so I'm a mom but I am passionate about this and I like hearing that everybody is in support of it so I have three kids who are in college one is in high school so this doesn't directly impact us right now like I said I am I believe that a school building battery and I'm speaking to the decision-makers fear because you might need some smart yeah. a direct relationship between the school building has like a wolf billion dollar project where they were building and there were five million five million students and their test scores and it's great motivation for almost immediately that we then you can tell him you're busy I'm very test enable Logistics cuz there were some questions about logistics what if this happens what is going to happen everyday I think if we all is a community come together and just say yes we're going to make this happen for the Muslims and everything My Name Is Earl Lowe's or Home Depot project did you like did you all do with serving I know what exactly are the reasons they don't endorse to learn more about that check out the community which members are not endorsing the project and by what would be the reason so you don't have that. Raleigh community except around the country I have to second floor sleep out on vacation in Hawaii booster location was slamming School Washington d.c. area in Chicago community so I do due diligence Raleigh Masjid so I took honest advice for high school he said the shooter has already approved A Five-Year Plan and we can have a high school so you know I tried to get my help in the school during that time also have to be to shoot for school what you need to know if my crush every time I try to do that you know I mean for her that you have to talk to one or two person custom stone wall cost you know I'm having detention delivering girl songs completed thanks so good intentions respecting us know if we need to have a professional photo the first time 1000 and I am living with my husband and it's nothing but who supported this project police report to create more space for get more environmentally while driving mode what is the plan to have certified teachers even exist it was good to see you we do have dance to we already have some of the benefits for teachers to support them to obtain the certification so that we also have an we did couple things in recent years one is to increase the best 11% compared to what went down the offers before the 85% increase it to 90% and we were able to get the dog in addition we also started this year offering health benefits to teachers that will allow us to attract skunk each of them be able to build our staff about equipment which would be talking with Administration you are not limited to just this area because I'm going outside benefits like the location to help bring Talent from outside the state so all these things are in place for a while but we also keep added benefit easiest BART station Animal Jam app on element 5 years 5 years is great experience every time somebody mention in the speech so first of all I am proud of the board and Alamance admin for being on the same page with a bus I do support the project the money is tremendous I know you're comparing to Public Schools but we have to be on the same side and I'm not arguing about the I know you for the property but that's not as I understood that one so it's not negotiable on the stations just like i r let that money can build a message cuz if you got me Mariah collect money don't make money and cute keep the notes down again I think that short members then don't agree, be there in a little bit I think they have the same intention but like members that. Spoken did not go Okay so my opinion and about Tampa Bay by the way I was from a speech to the school and then progress to write me to do it okay Trump again as far as the numbers as far as improper you might say no but as far as I know maybe we can bunnies have donations expanded Nationwide this is an urgent matter urgent urgent matter of our community other religions have fools and so those numbers are not sure approved and you remember this if you don't approve on somebody else is going to build a swimming pool because recent investment that we need and Islamic school and high school and everything else will follow when they're in this area what's it about Alexis plans for baseboard that I think they do have plans for a dozen more space but I don't have all the teachers another question about locations when we were we were considering is what we did with in a Google map important every single address that we have four students were enrolled also for students from the way just to gauge Eastern Parkway I believe 85% of the population were within a 25 mile radius because there was another important question there that I want to address number one page Road has now been planned to offer Pre-K programming we understand there's a huge demand we understand. set up saying that the IRA threat is to establish Pre-K programs are all of us as parents or prospective parents by the way to home the whole game you can play on the street under a tree in a building in your house you can prank anywhere it's different than building a school with the school if you're a parent or teacher you go there every single day plus times a day so location is the single biggest variable in whether or not the school is Julia feasible option for families now Marshall popular work that we have families who come to this 30 40 50 miles away every single day but that's a handful is Not Practical for families drive very far so this group of people that you see sitting up here be rigorously rigorously debated Pedro I know there are this community for asking why not made Road let's just hope the discussion addressing we rigorously debated it is going to cost billions and millions of people there too and it's all the 40 and into Durham County and you're taking your kids tent time to go driving after 10 times a week what's the pickup and drop-off times every single day it's just not practical that's that that's kind of the reality that we are we are facing at the school I want to say that because I think we should the difference between building our most popular building is fairly straightforward should I go to the massage on the upper jaw by you might bring a few times a week do you have to go every single day is a huge huge distinction hope that biscuit misunderstandings and misconceptions Page Road is just too far for this community oh yes that's me not to mention turn to build 2024 building a new school required Google and then going through the process of design construction in a planning isn't 325 your process timeline is an important consideration will go the location with the key I had to write it down so I teach Muslim education I do not and have not talked to the park public school system for the teachers I am a fully certified and licensed teacher. I chose to leave Kuwait to come to America to Raleigh North Carolina trolls I focus on serving a higher purpose in my room this approach emphasizes moral ethical consideration be honest I think we all know what happened and I won't trust it because we have children so any parent that have been true any public school you need to be the first one to put your money where your mouth is. Interpretations of God and religion laidback the essence of teaching for the sake of all up on Garland and not Public Schools can be understood and I brought a check here are some of our chief I can sing integrity and moral values I based my teaching on ethical principles and strive to be a positive role model for my students I strived honesty compassion respect and empathy towards others service and selflessness I dedicate myself to the betterment of yours today not just academically but also emotionally and spiritually I'm willing to go the extra mile to help them grow as individuals I have no children and a rodent all my children I have no reason to get up out my other than too so you should be willing to help your children more than me cuz I have no other than thank you full life nobody contact mansion business events coming my name is Andy and the hygiene I mean everybody walked in our children are right there sitting next to them how does that work out I don't want to bore you with the trailer volume on school and so forth and that's where I started in the brick building with with every the community by the way here see some time to the shooter and don't back again to the floor so that's what I'm right. I love you baby with one message that stuck in my mind which has a bumper sticker when I left New Jersey the decision-makers think that education is expensive try ignorance salaam alaikum. I've been here for 15 years now I graduated high school Muslims in America and specially here to high school also the education of our child you know those are public high school gyms in Philly our desires and whatever is so I think it should be a priority for a stomach high school and I wasn't asked any plans for expansion yes we do have plans for the plan is to bring in the waiting list. add a task force to land for housing in Roblox high school and Dental Programs and staff in it and all that stuff. so I can remember and I must stay in the cast member of the Ottomans everyone knows that we live in scary times what's the fattest cat and we have now over 200 parents on that chat and every day we get test your teaching my kids lgbtq lgbtq see whatever I'm in class what what is our response we have to call it out it's time for us and now we're starting to see the emergence of us waking up from this sleep that were in with this amazing committee that was lost a law has given us this amazing committee I don't know that committee that is a sentence a Spaceman what is the best thing to do one thing raise the Next Generation and I want to ask you what one must wear our kids learning to ice Poseidon I didn't you say where because I want to ask you do you really think so schools that we provide excellent compliment that is supplementary education at best and in actuality can talk to the people there were running his program it is damage control so we need to ask ourselves we are currently building massages left and right but how much are we do the lysing that for kids the messages are empty if you go to any messages Master Fletcher all the way to the baby awesome but if you go to school if you want to donate money to the community community resource if you want I just for people with great any mess with has over 300 kids payment slot to pull up show me what invested in America that does them their education is coming from the basement we have to act LOL I can keep going on and on about this you can tell a passionate but something is really cheap to understand the way you run a message in the same way you want instead of school they are completely different in the way you manage that and we are seeing a natural progression all the sudden school start in the messaging and then as they rode that you're able to move out by themselves and become their own State and that's what we're seeing this is a natural progression it happens everywhere call stomach school so don't be worried about this they're going to become from a high school within a within a message to a school with them so I will be catered to the chin a lot of times it's material been arrested Friday Opus is not really appropriate for kids but now we'll have our own this number it's not I want to tell you it's not enough all to be in agreement you can't just be in passing the grievance you have to be acting but she needs to see every one of your emails the Board needs to see every one of your emails regardless of how you feel so for people who are hesitant about you know and everyone has great intentions but the people who are hesitant let's convince them with why we bought this to have it so the last thing I want to say is we live in but I want to tell Golden Age with the law is allowing your voice to participate in a tarragon and how run esthetic schools you will have of making the difference for our and our kids kids and the Next Generation to come after us with this historic do not waste it be active Dominic foremost I would like to stay. absolutely need in this

built in 1990 is 30 is the building going to solve all of our problems on day one no it's not going to be the Silver Bullet by itself but education is and we have to make that kind of investment I'm sorry I just wanted to get that off my chest Cinemark 15 years the years of high school students 25 years ago change of use from and in the city of August 2024 is a realistic space approaches we are requesting a change of use which doesn't take as long as you know asking them to build a new building on the site so we are we have submitted the we are waiting yesterday going to hear back from so we think it's it's three and that's why we structured it the way we did because we didn't want to go to the link via processor about 15 months for us to just move you said that you don't have a high school I know this is one of your goals and stuff so when do you think the high school going to start the plan is you move in you absorb the 177 waitlist and then immediately going to start a task force to have solid plans for the high school to what we were expecting is within 1 to 2 years ago does oculus no absolutely I'm on the service that we had before we really need people to feel that then because we going to use that data to figure out how to get a movie to Weston Parkway in the 9th grade from the first year but it's there's lots of factors that we need everybody before we start having fun a high school I was a parent I was a teacher I was appearance and I sat on both the word as well as I open the last and we need parents if you really want a high school sister Maria is right over there go over to her during the school week and eat with her ideas on how to start a high school we can't do everything on her own and La Cholla sing everybody here today show that you guys do come up and help out when you need you if you want to high school do we need you to call the Ken Starr and Razzle floating solid place but until then we just need your parents or anybody to make sure we respect the landowner a lot of people we'll make sure that we can work on her so I can Amari Cooper I would like to say something teachers are usually under values and North Carolina should not be a benchmark for us to look at teachers salaries they should be as Muslims we should be over they should be treated as doctors they are teaching our children and we want to make sure that they're well you know Travis seating for their time so that's one thing I would say the second thing this is more of a call a taboo subject and a lot of people don't talk about it especially in the Muslim Community and that would be autism and a lot of autistic children did not take the kids to school we do not have the proper structural resources to to do. That will be my question but I would like to finish my other comments when we doing about that North Carolina is actually one of the worst states in America that offers Teachers Pay and pay and benefits so let's let's not go there also as Muslims where are all the alarms eBenefits America we are very doctors and engineers and scientists specializing in million dollars to not be an issue for us to build a small is it going to rain or anybody who supposed to say ideas out of their minds like what are you going to throw me to wake us up to move faster and stop opposing this 10 beers if this is what we're seeing in on TV I mean unfortunately we are impacted by this lgbtq whatever taboo subject that we never were bring up it is impact your children so let's wake up how to get spent 1/3 of the license school once I was sleeping at the one-third just practice it either they're hanging out do you want to be with her friends so let's make sure that autism education expense in the right place because in case I guess what you're saying it is true but whether he has told us that the program we should be we should be fine anybody who can afford it won't have Deliverance will have the assistance that's it from my end but the question is what we doing about teacher salary I know we mentioned a little bit of a few benefits we should not be messy North Carolina but we doing about it and also for a psychologist having a psychologist here at the school and somebody specialist about this and you definitely bringing out the vehicle or what you can do for me I just think what other things we can attract we definitely need to talk more about it because you know how to scale a it's going to be a Sonic I'm just a quick introduction my team is currently sitting on the element for element school for 8 years settled in school board and committee for over 7 years I've been part of the community since 2008 I have six children to graduated Millie medicine one with tally man slowed briefly then ended up going to a public at Eastern High School because of course there's no high school at school and I have now three little one who are not active again I've been sitting on I've been sitting on this floor and I can't get my children to the school volunteer to help ER weeks and I can't get my children because of the special education couple times I had referral public school because we didn't start children's moving and growing at school and the person asking other Islamic schools other Islamic schools that had special education Resources with a financial gain financially Independence being able to Grant being able to resource teachers at again it can't happen all at once but the people with the vision and the mission make it happen and we need to work one thing comes after another can't have it all at one time you get to pick up her stuff so it's very difficult to make those straps or our children to have a special education leave until we start working twice that so I feel special education cuz I have one but I am here right now and I want her here because she's really isn't all things and I still struggle sometimes sitting down in the classroom but and I I want to be listened to delivered the message who was the brother who sent this I will not sing by Cheech and Chong. action required to deliver second act like you talked about your boy I'm too pissed but I'm not okay everybody probably at the maturity attempted Wimbledon champion I would want to trade you sound like you're interested. in the interstate I said okay I have 500 scooter I'm going to the gym I want to use feel start teaching shifting brother and the whole entire United States in North America we have to stop at the gas station you make this extremely important call Chuck Mitchell. what are you wanting to eat if we still don't know what I'm going to do everything app for taking Whiskey River Houston they are open. is it too late to give delivery what is the funk to finest Jasmine Guy we can finish with. Salaam alaikum my name is not be as bad as we speak as quickly as I can do things I want to touch on one people and I think they are right wondering a five years of Raffles Bassey what happens next right I think that's a good problem to have I think inshallah for unborn Breeze here in Raleigh and I think Michelle and our community has grown so much is beautiful Community continues to grow and to see if I can use a grill for every five years to get to look at what we're going to do for me this is my personal opinion sending my kids to anybody why I want I have a 3 1/2 year old son and 1/2 fuel stops they're not there yet and probably will be I'm not setting to any man because I want any medicine I think we have responsibilities as parents is the most important right for me why I need that is important in life so beautiful together but it's got the exposure to all the issues in the world today matter where you go when you're walking down the street watching TV shows but being around others share similar values in have the same kind of Concepts right we are around. It's all very unfortunate lesson come to where I went to public school but I had a great group of friends are so my brothers to the say we all have very similar concept but very similar values really easy at times but won't eat each other on the right path when at times we did Trail but I'll be right back the older guys. For me that the most important thing is not the fact that the new facility sounds amazing and everything about it sounds great I care more about getting everyone on for me this is the most logical way to do it right now we can stay and we can wait for other office to figure out how to get everyone in one side of a that's a good take more time more time more time right there's never going to be a hundred percent agreement on one location okay everybody has talked about education but nobody's talked about sports so if we Hum Dil SE jise gets her big classroom classroom what am I get whatever that is for but we used to have one of those folding tables in the gym where they used to have to sit in the gym and eat lunch they didn't have anywhere to eat lunch because we haven't there school in the whole building that became a problem or PE class cuz we have these tables over in the corner that has so once everything got a stitch in beading we scheduled cleaned up we were able to get in the gym well I hope I speak Belgium all is well but we will be losing a I'm a gem person I'm not a multi-purpose room person OK Google also lunch for elements lunch for middle school for elementary PE for Middle School prayer Juma in the same room so we just chance to move into the room and they going to check the latest deal out by put in for the next few minutes or whatever to get you know something else built let's make that be a gym I got excited when you came the first time I showed up a slide to slide with the like little picture of his friend it was actually in front of a gym and that's the case too so even though we're waiting on a high school and the teachers going to get everybody in their classrooms are. Apartment is the downstairs so I had to take my my parents to parent and teacher had all and say as a student I'm going to come to a new school that's the first thing I'm looking for we have so many talented students here that plays for parents contact me all the time asking you. the other programs outside that we can go into do you have a team I try to do basketball the money does  but we can only do so much so if we can get behind there so we can just get the ball rolling so we can keep things moving that would do it greatly appreciate it and what are we going to do about the space upstairs I don't know if anybody talk about that but if we move out why can't the high school be on the third floor text I have a son he was finally in school. I have a daughter one time for the project all the reasons we talking about here to try to help everybody think about this logically to ask yourself the question do you believe that the kids staying at this school in the capacity we have the infrastructure what's the limitation sweetheart it's the right as I think generally speaking everybody freeze that's not the right if that is not the right answer, so what's next and I'm here liked everybody the way this team has put this this is the best plan a that comes next if we all agree the school should not say you're capped at whatever bro this is I'm telling you your best app because yes I'm all for this conversation we have to be realistic and people say one in high school now race let's go find a building that has space for high school is 12 or let's go build it ourselves talking about something that is probably and at least double This Time by probably in 5 to 10 years option people worried about money and I think it's a great one is unlike a Masjid right when we talked about them being built. You can only fund the Masjid with donations there is no other income Revenue street right under the small things here and there the school doesn't rely on donations but it relies on tuition and tuition is a revenue stream and then. what's a mass amount will actually charge profit for the school and that is the money they were used to build the future faces of the school so I want you to keep that in mind we worry about 16 million with my don't even worry about it I got even better news it's not ask you something we have to respond in the way we have to flush it because it will come to this expanded an interview like one of the work that the wardens before do the teachers that run the school I see him out there at pick up like in the boiling he's managing, and pick up we have put on this beautiful and useful as well set alarm 1 a.m. Republic speaker I could relate to somebody speaking up here 24 years Pennsylvania nursing practice I move down here two years ago from New York I did my research around like if I didn't want to move to west coast East Coast song I did my research and everything and iPhone Alleman School of North Grand Academy because of the weight vest did you lock my other younger son still on the waiting list and big bang that I have to leave with you really excuse my language but really bad now when I saw that in New York it has gotten so bad because deliberate practice fighting Community School in New York feel like going crazy Toby Mouton I did all the research now I feel like I made a bad life decision because my kids go to school now. Is it like a backdrop in my eyes so what I'm going through I'm sure a lot of people going through the same problems my question is why aren't you picking up adding a concrete you already have a building here so why don't you put your elementary students here and get on bit behind you know you could be over there country could be here I know it would be June 2nd in on that hard and it will immediately address all of her cup I have a son and future and so we love you brother and that they must be committed so there was one concerned that I work for Logan in Land Development Division mini if you all can check and live in Cary where this location is location you can Channel your energy behind committee reach out to your elected officials to expedite purpose if you have your house in order timeline what's the city they will attempt to a comet okay.
