10-6-25 – Capital Projects Update – Dr. Patrick and Mr. Lennon reviewed the following topics: Feedback Process; Bonding Capital Work; Further Project Details - BMS; BCS items; Edgewood and Scarsdale Middle School; Next Steps. The Board asked questions and discussed 5 key questions:

1. Are there items that would be appropriate for the annual budget instead of a bond? 
2. What other information does the Board need to seek consensus on for the bond proposal?
3. What features or enhancements should all of the schools have? 
4. Are there concerns about taking on significant debt at this time or about the reserve levels?
5. Is there consensus in the belief that the size of the bond is justified by the scope of work?
