2 issues that have come up is the sidewalk and some debris that was found as they have been digging up the dirt.
Group discussed the sidewalk.
Pat recommended a review of the school policy about how our students leave campus, for students to leave the campus and have parents pick them up. We should add a gate on the southeast corner and have the kids cross that way. That way there is no foot traffic on the frontage road. Even if we build the best or worst sidewalk we cannot have students walk on the frontage street.
There is no way we can do this, we can require our kids to walk a different way.
If we build a sidewalk we are explicitly condoning kids walking and parents picking up.
Request made to ED to draft dismissal policy and write a letter.
Board discussed debris, determined to bring an expert to consult how to fix the problem in best interest school
The board directed ED to keep moving on soils issue to maintain building timeline, and to seek input from a consultant
