VII. School Expansion

Expansion Update
C. Billings provided an update on the growth of the TTSD interest list since the KOIN campaign began running. TTSD has required a minimum of 192 households but the board agreed that a buffer should be built into the signatures. Currently:
- 136 in TTSD
- 128 outside of the district
Public engagement discussion from the opportunity calendar included:
- Grow Schools testing geofencing at Viva Tualatin. They will continue to do several other events this summer.
- Canvassed will be submitting a proposal for signature gathering at home.
The goal is to submit the application on Monday, August 31, this provides a buffer should additional edits need to be made.
