The meeting covered updates on the school board's decision to proceed with a project and the passing of a referendum. Discussions included the referendum's funding and the process the Community High School Task Force would follow in the coming weeks before a public vote. The group reviewed Icon's Advocacy Subcommittee Description and Responsibilities. The committee also addressed needed repairs to existing boilers, totaling approximately \u00247,800, and planned a fundraising effort for voter informational materials.

The Building Task Force meeting focused on determining the best course of action for the high school building, considering options such as renovation, repair, new construction, or a combination. A financial overview was presented, including the current building fund balance, mill rate, and tax valuation. Discussion included the failed previous referendum, community support for future projects, potential project costs, and the impact of the ongoing legislative session. The use of a third-party survey to gauge community support was discussed, along with the possibility of soliciting donations before a referendum. A building tour was conducted at the end of the meeting.

The meeting focused on a survey to assess community support for a school project. Discussions centered on the survey's benefits, methodology, and data interpretation. The committee discussed the need for clarification on the tax impact chart and the inclusion of the calculation formula. The timing of the survey was also discussed, along with how to maximize community participation. The committee decided to postpone the survey until after a vote on SB2214 to ensure accurate tax impact data.
