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.
