Summary

The superintendent asked the board to form a fundraising committee to support a proposed new field and playground, estimating costs "anywhere from 2 to $6,000,000," and suggested holding a community showcase once priorities and targets are set.

Superintendent asked the board whether to pair a community showcase for the new field with another activity and whether to form a fundraising and planning committee to identify priorities and targets. He said he had spoken with residents who had expressed interest in serving; he emphasized the project will be a substantial lift and asked the board to identify potential committee members or email suggestions.

On costs, the superintendent gave a preliminary range: "we're looking anywhere from 2 to $6,000,000 depending on what we do and obviously it's not going to be that much. But still you know it's a big big lift to get this done to the level of what we wanted to get done." He urged the board to form a committee to develop talking points and targets before scheduling a public meeting.
