<br />Call to Order:
<br />AM
<br />Funding of the School CommitteeÈs School Master Plan for the DistrictÈs Facilities:
<br />th
<br />Triggered by the discussions at the February 11 Budget Collaboration/Summit 6, the
<br />following thoughts regarding projects to address the projected school enrollment increases
<br />over the next five to ten years were shared by Ms. Hai, as follows:
<br />Current discussions include about 20 construction projects; it would be preferable if
<br />
<br />this could be simplified, with fewer projects that achieve the same goals.
<br />Administrative options (e.g., full utilization of the Joseph Estabrook Elementary
<br />
<br />School \[Estabrook\]), should be pursued first; if some administrative options are not
<br />viable, there should be full explanations as to why.
