Facilities Task Group - Business Items

Bill Hirsh brought two copies of some additional information for the group to see and briefly reviewed the contents as the hard copies were passed around.  It included drafts of all the task groups’ work on their reports to the School of the Future Committee.   The task group reports are to be in a similar format and all statements must relate to the 7 Guiding Principles of the Schools of the Future Committee. 

Bill suggested making “We believe...” statements relating to the guiding principles with supporting statement or references to the principles under that or in appendices.  Group discussion ensued.  Consensus:  Speak to the issues and reference greater detail below. 

The Task Group was also given a hand out titled “Indoor Air Quality in Schools” to review.

 Bill - 15 min.

The remainder of the meeting was spent fine tuning Section II. Accommodation of Internal & External Programs.  It is attached as reworked by the group.  Work on the remaining two sections will continue at the next meeting.		 Jeannie – 55 min.

Debrief/Closure

It was determined that another meeting will be needed for the writing group to put the report in its final form.  That meeting will be on Thursday March 2nd in the Mozart Room 5:30-7:00 p.m.  Dinner will be provided.  Those on the writing committee are: Ellen Wojahn, Tony Reyneke, Jeff Faust, Bill Hirsh, Jeanne Webb, and Ron Sanetel.  All Facilities Task Group members are welcome.  However, each person planning to attend must let Pat Bonney know so she can order a dinner for you.		 Jeannie – 5 min.

Next Meeting Agenda

The group will need to finish fine tuning the remaining two sections.  Ellen Wojahn suggested Tony Reyneke work on the School Funding Section on his own and bring it to the next meeting so we have a head start on that section.  Tony agreed to give it a try.		 Jeannie – 5 min
