Facilities Committee Report
Facilities Committee: discussed Facility Preservation Fund, and how it affects our campuses. Broadway funded at $500 per student, Live Oak and AG at $800 per student. Live Oak is funded based on Firstline’s student population numbers. Money stays with the school, doesn’t follow the students. Pre-K students not included, only K-8. 4 fund accounts within that program. Critical projects ranked 8 and above will be top priority. Update on AG green space, a fence will be erected and it will be designated as a public park but AG will have exclusive use during the school day. We will continue to maintain the space. Will continue to negotiate for a land swap in years to come.
