Craig Ashton, Director of Curriculum and Assessment, presented information regarding AYP. Even though some schools missed AYP, data shows exceptional percentages of students meeting growth targets. Mr. Ashton discussed the Linden Park air quality project. The cost for the draft proposal originally prepared by Musgrove Engineering was over $600,000. The deficiency report conducted by the State School Safety Division listed three items that must be completed. They include: 1)venting bathrooms (done) 2)removing ozone machines (done) 3)increasing air circulation in A & B halls. (Musgrove design) The resolution of item #3 can be accomplished through a less expensive means than the draft proposal called for. This can be accomplished by installing pre-heat coils in the A & B halls and replacing the air handling equipment in four classrooms. This alternative will be clearly explained in the final Musgrove report. Musgrove will prepare the specifications and design for this project. It is expected to be more timely and cost effective, and can proceed in the fall of 2006. The plan will be presented to the Facility Committee prior to being presented to the Board of Trustees for full review.
