On the agenda for tonight’s School Board meeting, the Superintendent has requested “direction” from the School Board regarding how to proceed with the Plan.
Glad that the Superintendent is giving the Board members a prompt to speak up, ask questions, ask for data, ask for community feedback, discuss, synthesize, revise, etc. No matter what course is taken, there’s huge impacts on students, teachers, families, tax payers, neighbors, traffic, the community. Active participation and involvement by the Board is important. Board members should voice their questions, comments, ideas, concerns, interpretations, judgments, and positions.
I’d start with some financial forecasts so that we don’t inadvertently fall in love with some renderings. (but that’s just me
So what was the verdict? Did anyone go?
The school board voted to move forward with the funding process for a first phase of option 1, for both the high and middle schools, totalling approximately $58 million.
