Hi Raouf,

Perfect, I will follow up with Frank regarding the apparatus.

As far as the removal of the current structure and the replacement of the ma>ng, lets proceed with that.

Once again, Thank you for all your support

Hi Ana:

Page 1 of 9

Since the new apparatus is part of measure Q and we s^ll need to go to the Board to get approval we s^ll
have plenty of ^me to select exactly what you want for Castelar. It may be that the space available does not
allow for addi^onal slides as you need to have 6 feet of clearance at the end of the slide.

My recommenda^on would be to have a follow up mee^ng with Frank and MaNhew to make sure you
maximize use of the available area. We s^ll have plenty of ^me to do that.

In the mean^me we can proceed with removal of the other small structures on the exis^ng majng and
replacing it with new majng.

If that is acceptable let us arrange to have a follow up visit by Frank. You can either contact Frank directly to
arrange for the mee^ng or it can be arranged through me or MaNhew. Ul^mately we want to make sure the
children at Castelar get the maximum benet from the new apparatus.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

Thank you for the pictures. It's a good start, however I would like it to be perhaps a bit more crea^ve. If I
recall correctly during Mr. Frank's visit we decided to incorporate addi^onal structures within the apparatus
to maximize the space. The slides selec^on on the original apparatus will work perfectly (height and size),
however it would be great if we could also include one of those slides where the children can climb (see
pictures below). I researched and saw some great structures (see pictures below) which could possibly work
great for our playground.

Thank you and have a great evening,

Hi Ana:

I spoke with Frank Catapano today. He sent the drawings of the new proposed play structure
to MaNhew Picinic and you have probably already seen them. He will also send me an
electronic copy on Monday of this same structure as well as the cost. At a minimum, we will
be removing the small obstacle course (photo aNached) that is there now as well as the
associated rubber majng and laying down new majng. If funding is available we will also
install the new apparatus you have selected under the shade structure. Ill know beNer by
early next week how we will proceed. Have a great weekend.

Hi MaNhew:

This is a follow up to my earlier e-mail today. I just spoke with Ms. Oregel, the principal and
we agreed to the following:

1. At this ^me she would like to have the exis^ng low structures shown in your photo
below removed along with the rubber majng and that area replaced with new
rubber majng only (no apparatus)
2. At a future date when we go to the Board with Measure Q projects we will include
a project for a new apparatus under the exis^ng shade shelter.

The principal also indicated that a play equipment vendor had visited Castelar EEC and
taken measurements for a new apparatus under the exis^ng shade structure. She wasnt
sure who sent him but that was 3 months ago and she hasnt heard anything more about it.
If we can iden^fy that person we should go ahead and get the es^mate from him for later
use since the principal already met with him and selected an apparatus.

Please let me know if you have any ques^ons. Thank you.

Hi MaNhew:

In addi^on to replacing the rubber majng they need a new small apparatus. The only
place to put it is exactly where the exis^ng apparatus is now shown in the photo below and
aNached.
If we can nd a new small apparatus that can t in that same area we should go ahead and
select one with the principals input and get an es^mate for new apparatus and majng.

If the area is too small for a new (small) apparatus then we can just replace the rubber
majng. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Mr. Raouf,

Thank you for your ^me, I truly appreciate your visit and ideas on how to improve our school.
There are a few items on the list that need to be corrected and/or addressed:

1. Adult Restroom: on your notes, you indicated "Convert one small restroom w only a
toilet into a full toilet w/ sink, However, wediscussed opening the space adjacent to an
adult restroom by removing two small walls, this will provide a larger staff lounge. We do
not need to convert any of the restrooms.
2. Wireless Technology: On your notes, you indicate Already in Place, However, we do

Page 6 of 9

NOT have any wireless technology in place.

3. Restroom: Provide low partitions between toilets in children's restrooms. On this item,
there are also some restrooms that need to be replaced for child-sized toilets and some
sinks that also need to be replaced.
4. Interior paint: I no^ced that you crossed out this item, however, we are still in desperate
need of a paint job. Since this item is funded through measure Y, who can I contact to
expedite this item?
Thank you,
