- FACILITIES UPDATE — Mike Slater
Mike reported that there is a new state funding program for districts
cooperating with cities on improvement projects. Will find out if we
qualify in April, funding should be in July, perhaps $750,000 for Hall
and/or NC. Recent San Mateo bids were for $305/SF. Our estimates were
$200/SF. Have identified “alternates” on the existing plans,
are considering “phased” construction at Hall (media center),
deleting Kindergarten building at NC.
Structural comments expected from the state architect next Thursday.
- TREASURERS REPORT
No report.
- PRESIDENT’S REPORT — Anne Gilberg
