EASD - Facility Utilization Committee Meeting

 

Just a quick update on the group of four (4) citizen committees that are working on the Easton Area School District Facility Utilization plan.

These committees has been hard at work this year to update the current EASD Facility Utilization plan. A brief description of the committees is as follows:

• Enrollment Projection: Determine the school district growth rate by grade by school.
• Building Capabilities and Needs Assessments: Review the current list of school improvements and determine additional school building improvements for the next ten to twenty years.
• Redistricting: Propose school redistricting, as needed.
• Best Practices in Education: To determine the correct class size and the best education practices.

The next committee meeting is October 15, 2008 at 7:00 PM.  Here is my understanding of the agenda:

1. Sub-Committee status

2. Review current Re-districting proposal.

2. Review District Growth Rate Data

3. Review Developer Proposal

 

Additionally, the committees will meet on October 29, November 5, and November 19.  The meetings will be held at the EASD Education building located on Bushkill Drive.

These committees are a good idea, as concerned parents and the various school PTA organizations can help write the final recommendation to the school board.
