Referendum Planning Task Force Holds First Meeting

The task force met for the first time on Thursday, October 22, 2020, via WebEx, an online system that allows participants to meet virtually. 

After a welcome by Jason Potts, Board of Education Task Force Liaison, Co-Chairs Elizabeth Powers and Greg Klimek were introduced. Joe Donovan, from the Donovan Group, reviewed the charge from the board and discussed group norms, roles, future meeting agendas, and expected deliverables. 

Co-Chair Powers then introduced Kit Dailey, Engagement Specialist, and Robert Vajgrt, Project Manager, from Eppstein Uhen Architects. Like Mr. Donovan, Ms. Daily and Mr. Vajgrt are tasked with assisting the task force in its work. 

Superintendent Damian LaCroix then provided task force members with a Referendum History of the district and outlined its strategic direction.

This was followed by a presentation on school finance by Mike Juech, Assistant Superintendent.

After some questions were posed and answered, Co-Chair Powers adjourned the meeting. The next meeting of the task force will take place November 5, 2020, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
