II. Topical Items

A. WPS Facilities

K. Sved thanked board members for attending and extended special thanks to J. Montgomery for her ongoing, in-depth review of related budget and financing materials. K. Sved expressed his intent to frame major discussion points regarding the suitability and financing of a potential long-term facilities project at 407 Main Street, Watsonville, CA, to inform Board deliberation of two main questions. These questions were, in brief:

Is 407 Main the right site?
Is the Board willing invest additional funds to support the project until the next decision point at the regular NS Board Meeting on December 10, 2019?

K. Sved outlined strengths and challenges attributed to the site, including issues related to neighborhood safety, outdoor play spaces, Proposition 39, district and community relations, local real estate, viewpoints of parents, and anticipated impact on enrollment. He also reviewed opinions of the directors and chiefs.

C. Wright facilitated the sharing of opinions and questions by each board member in attendance. The Board chose to focus on the first main question framed by K. Sved, with plans to continue the discussion at a future meeting.
