Five study groups are exploring facility needs in specific program areas.
Alternative High School
Root Questions….Is this the appropriate time to consider relocating the Walnut Creek Campus? If so, where do we begin with what the new campus should include such as a new look at curriculum and/or optional offerings? Decision/Direction will allow the specific Project Architect to re-plan an existing building to accommodate program. These changes will determine the costs for relocating Walnut Creek. >> MORE
Fine Arts

Science (STEM)
To address, consider, accept, reject or modify the proposed models outlined by Dave Blum in his memo dated 12/30/08. Decision/Direction will allow Project Architects Project Engineers (PAPE) to include these spaces in their long range plans for K-6 schools and the remodeling required of the existing science labs in the junior highs and high schools accordingly. >> MORE
Special Programs
To include all areas of special needs including special ed, ESL, home school, etc. This includes adopting, or modifying the planning standards (area/student, staff/student, model room layouts etc) started by Ken Bussard in 2008.

Subjects include structured cabling, consolidation of server rooms at LRC, security and emergency generator at LRC, updated telephone and voicemail systems, removal of CR TV’s, paging/intercom systems, video security, interactive CR’s, technology and science/fine arts.
