The Board approved the 2010 -2011 budget.
The Growth Management Committee
co-chairs, Ronnie Rushing and Dawn Brown, presented a recommendation from the
GMC to the Board for consideration, which outlined three options:
Construction of Elementary #7 based on the LaRue Miller prototype. Based on demographic data, this
facility may be needed for the 2012-2013 school year
- An addition to Frank Seale Middle
School in order to expand its capacity from 1,000 students to 1,200
students. It is projected this
addition would meet the needs of the district through 2016.
- Construction of a second high school
within the district. This high
school would be built for a capacity of 2,500 students and would be done in two
phases.
While the committee has worked very
hard over a number of meetings to reach its conclusions, they realize that the
Board is responsible for determining "the who, the what, the when, the where
and the how" of the recommendation and that the board must balance the facility
needs of the district with its demographics and financial capacity while
considering the current and projected future economic environments. |
