Trustees Barbara Bryan, Peter Gesuale and Kathy Aragon were present. The business of the meeting was to review the subcommittee’s revised Draft Report to the Billings School Board on Recommended Strategic Planning for the School District and Its Facilities, which was further revised by Trustee Bryan at the request of the subcommittee members at their September 4, 2009, meeting. It is the subcommittee’s intent to present the final report to the full board as a guide for future strategic planning. The report explains the subcommittee’s work progress and its planning recommendations. The committee members proceeded to go over the report that will be presented to the full board at its meeting, Monday night, September 21, 2009. Trustee Bryan suggested that in the interest of eliminating any confusion on the board’s part in reading this committee’s report, that some of the beginning part of the report should be shortened into an executive summary. Both Trustee Gesuale and Trustee Aragon concurred with the suggestion. As the committee members went through the report and critiqued each individual part, they came to a consensus as to who would present which portion of the report. Trustee Bryan will do the introduction explaining how they came about the final report being presented to the board. She would explain how they started with the initial charge that the board gave this committee, identified the key areas and looked at the challenges facing this district in the short-term and long-term. Trustee Aragon will explain Attachment 1 of the report. Trustee Gesuale with explain Attachment 2 and 3. Trustee Bryan will end the presentation with the phasing recommendations and costs. Trustee Gesuale suggested that the order of the recommendations be switched. He suggested 7 (regarding strategic district planning) come first, followed by 9, 8, and 6 and the remaining recommendations to follow in their original order. The members concurred and Trustee Bryan will change the order of the recommendations in their report. Committee members also agreed that it is important for the report to recommend investigation of measures that can be taken soon to effect savings for the 2010 school year. Trustee Gesuale made a motion, seconded by Trustee Bryan, to approve the minutes of the meeting of September, 4, 2009. The motion passed unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:31 a.m. Marta McAllister, Recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
