Financial Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes
The meeting focused on updates regarding the Strategic Capital Master Plan and Facility Disposition. The capital planning process involved facility condition assessments, revealing that 76% of schools were rated as fair, 31% poor, and 15% good, with HVAC and water intrusion noted as key improvement areas.
