Oct 14 SD2 planning meeting - Notes

McKinley update: Striping for parking completed. Basement slab is 50 percent completed. Corner bulbs are in. There have been noise complaints during school day. Budget is getting tighter...concrete removal.

Broadwater update: Concrete footing and walls have been poured. Cutting in new utilities with school out Thu and Fri. At 7% contingency, but still have basement work in main building.

Heights Middle School: Working with Dick Anderson construction to get cost estimates nailed down. Trying to get as much outside work done in the fall. Trying to get building site ready for concrete footings next spring. Crude oil line caused delays. Code compliance meetings with city...home ec room may need commercial hoods and fire suppression equipment. Will add to cost if city doesn't relent. Bench project likely pay for additional parking and bus parking along Bench.

Policy 8425 2nd reading: Approved.

Capacity Factoring for Special Education: Cropper needs some information in order to determine where to put the general student body. Heights special ed students are on a bus for an hour for the trip too and from the career center. Parents, principals, and staff need to get together to provide input. These programs are moving buildings too much.

Redistricting options: Noted that if the school district explains the why,then parents will be more accepting of the final plan. Nov 4 the next meeting.

Strategic Planning: School district is in the process of setting up community meetings.

MCEL update: No support in funding 6th graders as middle schoolers. Governor's preschool program major item for discussion.
