Operations staff outline summer milestones and logistical challenges for a transition

Mr. Payne reviewed a draft activity chart of milestones tied to the proposed reconfiguration and said the timeline is preliminary and would be refined in logistics meetings if the board approves moving forward. He highlighted summer constraints — Raisenville construction and Waterloo wrap-up — and described plans to create soft start dates so teachers can access classrooms earlier for setup: "If the board would choose to move forward on this, we would have to have some logistic meetings to tighten these dates up" (Payne).

Payne and other operations staff noted many tasks already occur annually (carpet replacement, painting) but that timing would need to shift to meet the proposed transition. Board members raised concerns about staff capacity and asked where extra work would be done; administration said much of the planning work would happen outside instructional hours and that departments would coordinate to spread workload.
