Getting ready to live report on the Redistricting advisory committee meeting about to begin at 6 #rdac0207
Meeting delayed starting but now underway. Supt Lucas Giguere opens and starts with agenda for tonight #rdac0207
SchCom member, subcommittee chair Al Charles steps in to add view on the objectives, what's in scope and what's out of scope #rdac0207
Out of scope is the building master plan, that will be part of the town planning on the "master plan" effort just starting (volunteers being looked for to help with that 12-18 month effort) #rdac0207
Lily Rivera, town & schools communications specialist, talks to the slide she developed on the time line #rdac0207
One screenshot I can capture well right now shows the reconfigured utilization for the schools for that option. #rdac0207 another view who moves vs who doesn't is shown here for option 2
Should have typed "can't" be captured in the prior tweet #rdac0207
Discussion around the numbers on this slide, capacity does it or doesn't it include 5th graders. Being looked at! Stay tuned... If you find other potential numbers that don't seem to work, feel free to raise the question #rdac0207
Full analysis will be done on the most likely options, there is not enough time/resources to do the full analysis on all the 'tiny' variations that could be considered #rdac0207
The exercise leading to however many options seems to be a 'short term' buy time solution as the master facility bit would be done by the Town, if they chose to build a new school, then there is another aspect of planning required for long term #rdac0207
The larger group is not doing a dive into the scenario discussion at each table, #rdac0207
Catching up to share the option 3 slides (from the storymap) #rdac0207 (note: go the storymap for the last table on utilization rates)
Ouch, caught a typo in that the larger group is NOW going into discussion at each table (oops!) #rdac0207
Tables just received the 2 minute warning to wrap up table discussion #rdac0207
Table recaps in process; survey also going to group for feedback on the scenarios. #rdac0207 the community forums Mar 7 & 13 are the same details, one in person, one virtual; survey to the community also going after those sessions to gather feedback
Session wrapping up; so that is all for tonight, catch you next time! #rdac0207

First up, Fire Dept Deputy Chief to handle the capital requests structural gear requested 10 yr life cycle in process to keep from purchase all at once. #cbsc0201 Cormier-Ledger raises what is a capital request? Vs what should be in operations budget going forward
Historically it has been done this way, per Jamie - reoccurring expenses are being looked to put into the ops budget, when the budget comes up with the numbers, you'll see the results so it can be discussed later this budget season #cbsc0201
