WHAT TO EXPECT
Staff members are recommending that $5.8 million from the school district’s developer fee fund and $3.15 million from a school district capital reserve fund be used to cover the additional project costs.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
The school board is scheduled to receive an update on the money the school district has saved through energy conservation efforts between April 1 and Dec. 31.
The school district has been working with consultants from Energy Education Inc. — an energy usage consulting company — since May 2006 to find ways to conserve water, power and gas. The conservation plan developed by Energy Education Inc. went into effect on April 1.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The school board will review and discuss a report detailing the cost savings the school district has accrued by conserving water, power and gas since April.
SCHOOL BOARD PRIORITIES
The school board will continue its discussion on how and when it will develop its priorities for 2008-09.
Each year the school board sets its Board Priorities to articulate areas of focus for the school district.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The school board is slated to review the priorities for 2007-08 and particular outcomes related to these priorities.
The board will also consider a timeline for how to review and update the priorities for the upcoming school year. School district administrators have suggested that the board of education review a draft of the 2008-09 board priorities at the board of education meeting on March 18, and that the school board vote on the revised priorities on April 23.
