June 7, 2021 at 6:00 PM - Additional School Board Meeting

Description:  Attached please find the presentation that administration and our team from Vogel and EUA will use on Monday to reorientate the Board to where we left off with facility planning in February 2020.  We are not seeking any decisions related to this presentation, other than feedback for next steps.

From an administrative perspective, we need to see the final enrollment for the fall and then can better determine how that impacts our forecasts, timelines, and planning.

Attached also see draft timelines for various referendum dates -- Spring 2022, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023.

We have not updated the tax impact of the items we are discussing on Monday night, and that process will be done as we determine our next steps and timelines.

**Attached to the "Extras" area of BoardBook are six spreadsheets that detail the "pathways" developed at the Board workshops in the spring of 2020. We will print these for Monday night.

Please note:
These are calibrated in the millions of dollars.
The costs are in 2020 dollars.
The Old Aud was included in the HS scope.****
 

Description:  Attached please find the updated community growth presentation by Mark Roffers.  Mark connected with each of the developers and municipalities to solicit input in how development projects have progressed during the course of the pandemic, what has changed, and then analyzed what these changes mean for the school district's facility planning.  The enrollment projections have not been updated, and we believe this is an essential data point for us to gather in September as we return to school in the fall and get a truer sense of our enrollment for 2021-2022 and beyond.

Description:  Attached please find a memo from Jeff Kenas, Middle School Principal, regarding space concerns at the Middle School for the next few years as a few large classes move through the school.  We have reviewed options for how to address these larger classes, and those options are outlined in Mr. Kenas' memo.  We are adding this item to the agenda to bring you into the conversation and solicit your feedback.  A decision does not need to be made on Monday night on this issue, and we can/will bring it back to the Board at the June 14th meeting.

FYI...one of the options presented in the memo is adding another portable classroom unit behind the Middle School.  John Cramer is working on availability and cost of this option, and we will have projected costs for the meeting on Monday night.

Description:  We inadvertently did not include the Open Enrollment Approvals/Denials on the May School Board Meeting Agenda, and we need to act on these prior to the June Board Meeting, so we have added this agenda item for your action on Monday night.

The administration has reviewed each of the Open Enrollment Applications, and they align with State Law and our Policy.  We are recommending approval as presented.
