Re-cap of Capital Project and Bond Vote
Dr. Shine presented a recap of the capital project and bond vote, reflecting on the challenges of gaining support for the bond, the enrollment imperative, what needs to be considered, and next steps. In reiterating the outcome of the vote, Dr. Shine stated, "We are obviously disappointed, especially because addressing our enrollment/space need is, I believe, fundamental to the continued success of our students. As a result, I have been discussing and considering next steps." A special Board of Education Meeting will be held on January 17 during which Dr. Shine will review his draft recommendation. |
