a. Review and discuss three (3) school options for mega-block planning b. Review and discuss costs for MIHS classroom addition; Mary Wayte Pool renovation; and MIHS Stadium Upgrades c. Discussion of community-wide engagement Note that *action may take place at this meeting*. Also, Public Input has been put at the END of the meeting (8:00-8:30) AFTER any potential decisions may have been made. This meeting was actually originally part of a tour of a new MIHS 500 hall addition, but after several complaints, they moved it back to the Board Room (detailed on www.misdboardwatch.wordpress.com).
