Public Comment/Questions on Principals’ Report
Question:
Karen Bowman: How can I get a copy of the iReady report?
Jeovanna Comer: You can ask the teacher or principal for a copy of the report.
Question:
Jill Dale: What is the plan when we run out of space in the building?
Dora Stutler: The SBA only looks at current enrollment. We regularly look at property for sale around the building that we could possibly buy.
Question:
Tom Steele: Will there be restrooms in the new addition?
Todd Rubenstein: It’s not currently in the plan. It might be something that we can add later and there are current efforts to determine whether this is a possibility; however, adding a preschool playground is first on the list.
Question:
Tiffany Cropp: Is there anywhere where an addition can be added to the current building?
