A staff member from the Binghamton City School District suggested keeping the high school art gallery filled during the summer so students return in September to a displayed exhibit.

The suggestion came during public remarks, when the speaker said, "So several years ago, many years ago now, we had this beautiful remodel of our art gallery at the high school ... when they return in September, they're coming back to an empty gallery." The speaker added the practice of leaving art on display "would really help support our department and the arts in general, and hopefully, help get the students excited and involved in the arts if they came back to a full gallery."

A second speaker, who described art practice and classroom work, said she had been a graphic designer and "was a professional artist working graphic designer for over 15 years," and noted she completes drawings with students and sometimes submits them to the staff art show.

The comments outlined the current practice that student artwork is sent home at the end of the school year and the consequence that the gallery is empty when classes resume. The speakers framed keeping works on display as a way to support the art department and student engagement but did not present a formal proposal, funding request, or timetable in the transcript.

The transcript contains no record of a motion, vote, or staff assignment tied to this suggestion.
