Other <br />issues include the maximum amount of bonding they believe the citizens will <br />approve, school locations and the number of years any bonding issue should <br />attempt to cover. <br />Based on their consensus, the Committee may also forward to the School <br />Board any school facility ideas that they believe meet their criteria. <br />• The Result <br />Based on the concensus of the Committee and on the facility ideas <br />recommended, the School Board will develop a plan that they can take to the <br />public, either in the form of an election, if an election is appropriate, or to <br />parents if the plan calls for an alternative school schedule or year. <br />The Issues <br />The Citizens Committee will be asked to come to consensus on as many of <br />the following questions as possible: <br />* Should schools be built to solve the crowding problems? <br />* Is muliti -track Year - Round - School a viable option? How long would <br />this solve the problem? <br />* How many high schools should there be in our district and <br />is there a preferred size and grade -level configuration? <br />* Is there a point where schools are too big, too small? <br />* When should students be bused out of their communities? <br />* If the School Board puts together another building plan, <br />• how far into the future should it go? For implementation? <br />
