Items we worked on this month:
Budget: Tonya Townsend was asked to come by but she was unavailable.
Calendar for 2023-24. Kris Snare had presented 2 versions for us to look at. She now put all of our
suggestions into one calendar. Here are a couple of things that we could still change.
Could the Friday in Oct. be moved until after the quarter so that teachers can work on
report cards? Make it the 20 th ?
Could the Friday in March be moved at least one week? Right now it is on Good Friday.
Looks like you may have done that already.
All the rest looks fine to me
The next BAC meeting will be held on a Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 4:20 p.m.

Three options for consideration:
1) Stop LGCS at grade xx
2) Pursue stick built facility - with modular lease until complete
3) Pursue modular as permanent facility
We have multiple quotes for modular purchases/leases. We are still awaiting construction estimates. Funding continues to be an area of concern; several grants have been identified.
