This week in meetings...

December's Business Services meeting will be Thursday Jan. 8th at 5pm in the district offices. The agenda can be found here.

Items of note: "V. Update and Discussion on PMA’s 5-Year Budget Forecasting Model and Preliminary 2009-2010 Budget."

This will be our first look at estimates for next year's budget and will be a guide for the budgeting process this spring. It will tell us if we have to go through a budget cutting exercise this spring and how big that might be.

"VII. Discussion and Possible Approval of McKinstry’s Performance Contracting Agreement."
This item is to examine the facility energy upgrades proposed by McKinstry and winnowed down by the Energy and Sustainability committee. The current proposal calls for borrowing about $2.5 million for these improvements, which would be funded by energy savings with a payback of about 12 years.

The committee will also look at eliminating the budget flier mailing and move the annual meeting forward to October 5th.


The Ad Hoc Grade configuration committee will meet Tuesday Jan. 6th at Glacial Drumlin school. The agenda is here. It looks like they committee will spend some time defining its agenda.

Can you please report on the Ad Hoc Grade Configuration meeting? It is difficult to get information since these meetings are not broadcast on the local cable channel.

Thank you for the update.

It's a good question to ask why they are not on cable. Has the board discussed this?

I believe that future meetings will be broadcast on cable.

Last night the committee went through a list of various options generated at the brainstorming session last time - there were 18 total before they were narrowed down. I don't have the complete list but I will post the minutes as soon as they are available! The next meeting will be focused on data, not options or solutions.
