Welcome

Board Action and approval of two 2013-14 Annual Academic and Facilities Recommendations (AAFRs) including:

• Garcia and Pearce Middle School Program Design, District 1, and
• School for Young Men

Board Action and approval of four 2013-14 Annual Academic and Facilities Recommendations (AAFRs) including:

• Dual Language Program Expansion and Extension,
• Responsive Education Solutions Continued at Lanier and Travis High Schools,
• Campus-Initiated In-District Charter at Travis Heights Elementary School, and
• Fine Arts Program - Any Given Child Creative Learning Initiative.

There are two guiding questions for the Board’s discussion on December 3, 2012:

1. Does the Board want a School for Young Men?  If so, does the Board concur with the planning team’s support for the scenario that renovates the ALC as the location for the School for Young Men?

2. Does the Board concur with the planning team's support for Garcia and Pearce Middle Schools on program design?

The Board of Trustees’ discussion centered on the following four AAFRs that the Administration considers ready for Board action on December 17, 2012.

• Dual Language Program Expansion and Extension,
• Responsive Education Solutions Continued at Lanier and Travis High Schools,
• Campus-Initiated In-District Charter at Travis Heights Elementary School, and
• Fine Arts Program - Any Given Child Creative Learning Initiative.

The Board of Trustees reviewed and made adjustments to the placement of each AAFR into one of the four following categories.   

Category “A”, AAFRs with the greatest potential of moving forward in 2013-14, which includes:

1. Dual Language Program Expansion and Extension,
2. Responsive Education Solutions Continued at Lanier and Travis High Schools,
3. School for Young Men, 
4. Campus-Initiated In-District Charter at Travis Heights Elementary School, and
5. Fine Arts Program - Any Given Child Creative Learning Initiative.

Category “B”, the AAFR with the greatest potential for moving forward, with implementation in 2014-15, which includes:

6. Garcia and Pearce Middle School Program Design, District 1.

Category “C”, AAFRs that are in development and engaged in the vetting process which includes: 

7. Academic Programming and Facility Support for Eastside Memorial Vertical Team, and
8. South High School (land only, 2008 Bond Program).

Category “D”, former AAFRs that are now potential bond projects referred to the Citizens’ Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) for possible inclusion in the scope of work for the next bond program, which includes:

9. Rosedale School and Clifton Career Development School Renovations determined by Achievement Test Data and Facility Support Needs,
10. Fine Arts Program Facility Additions and Renovations,
11. Parity and Equity in Career and Technical Education,
12. Secondary Athletic Program and Facility Improvements, and
13. School for Young Men. 

The former AAFRs in Category “D” that will be referred to the Citizens’ Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) for possible inclusion in the scope of work for the next bond program are now called “projects” instead of AAFRs.
