Proceedings of the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Facility Issues

District No. 2, Yellowstone County

High School District No. 2, Yellowstone County

Billings, Montana

November 13, 2009

 

 

The committee meeting was held on November 13, 2009 in the Lincoln Center at 12:10 p.m. Trustee Barbara Bryan, Nancy Hines and Pat Bellinghausen, Billings Gazette, were in attendance.

 

Trustee Bryan presented copies of information from Lance Melton, Montana School Boards Association, regarding possible questions for the community survey. She also presented questions she found on the internet that other communities and organizations have used to gauge public opinion regarding strategic issues. Since the other committee members were not present at the meeting, this information will be sent to them to review and make note of what is available.

 

Nancy Hines presented a sheet showing public engagement considerations. She will also find information on a survey by Ray McNulty.

 

Barb Bryan stated that it is her view that this committee should narrow down questions for the survey, then the Steering Committee will go through the questions to narrow them down further. When the survey is finalized it will be presented to the full Board of Trustees for approval.

 

The revised contract with MTSBA is being presented to the Board Monday, November 16, for approval. After Board approval, the process will begin with MTSBA and it will enable us to set a time schedule. Nancy Hines suggested, and Trustee Bryan concurred, that there should be a formal charge to the Steering Committee. It is anticipated that there will be perhaps 15-20 people on the Steering Committee. The process could start in January 2010. This committee and the Board of Trustees are asked to submit names of community people for consideration. There will also be a call to the public for anyone else who is interested in serving on the Steering Committee.

 

Nancy Hines will gather information on district demographics.

 

Ms. Bryan anticipates the entire process with the MTSBA should take approximately six months. This should give us a new mission, vision and core values. There will also be a decision on which key operating areas need to be focused on for strategic planning. Strategic planning for those key operating areas will take perhaps a year.

 

Ms. Bryan and Ms. Hines will meet to discuss the public engagement considerations.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 12:30 p.m.
