CALL TO ORDER

Chair Barbara Bryan called the meeting to order at 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 26, 2011, 2011 in Room 213 of the Lincoln Center. Ad Hoc Committee members in attendance were Trustees Barbara Bryan, Connie Wardell, and Greta Besch Moen. Also in attendance were Superintendent, R. Keith Beeman, Ph. D.; Jeff Greenfield, BEA President; and Trustee Pam Ellis. Pam Christiansen was present as an interested member of the public.

 

COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC

Pam Christiansen stated that K-6 enrollment was up by 200 students. She requested enrollment numbers for the 1st day of school for school year 2011-12. Dr. Beeman took note of her question, and will follow up. However, he noted that numbers would be in flux for at least for several weeks; this is typically the case at the start of any school year.

 

VISIONING

Dr. Beeman handed out the most up-to-date lists of attendees/participants for the leadership group, community focus group, and staff, parent, student, and ICT groups. Additional updates were made to reflect contacts made by committee members since the last meeting. Chair Bryan noted that all confirmed participants would receive a confirmation notice/reminder before the start of the visioning events.

 

The committee also discussed ways to remind the community of the upcoming visioning events, particularly the Sept. 20 visioning workshop. Ideas included:

 

- Sending reminder via BPS RSS feed

- Trustees sending out reminders to their email lists

- Getting reminder article/info in Gazette

- Chair Bryan possibly writing guest editorial on the visioning process

- Sending brief informational item home with elementary students

- Etc.

-

Dr. Beeman also suggested that he, Dr. Middleton, and Trustee Wardell meet separate from the committee to finalize visioning logistics. The committee agreed that this would be a good idea.

 

RFP/SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF FACILITIES PLANNING

Chair Bryan confirmed the committee’s consensus to recommend to the full board the issuance of the RFP for the pilot and prototype phases of facilities planning; the RFP was discussed by the committee at a previous meeting and was given to full board at the last board meeting.

 

NEXT MEETING

The next Committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. in room 213 of the Lincoln Center.

 

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business, Trustee Bryan adjourned the meeting.
