Agenda Item Summary: Now that staff has had the chance to review the approval language, a work plan of the process is documented in the attached presentation. The work plan describes the next steps in developing a program approach, developing a site approach and continuing to engage and communicate the high school project to the Alexandria community.
Background: On January 24, 2019, the School Board voted to allow the planning process to continue in pursuit of a connected high school network strategy with several distinct priorities for planning as the project progresses, including a commitment to use the Minnie Howard Campus as part of the proposed Connected High School Network Model and a thorough comparative analysis of a second comprehensive high school.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the work plan presentation and offer any additional guidance to staff.
