SEPT. 2, 2025 MINUTES
Welcome & Activity
Co-chairs Elaine Bluml and Stephen Hill welcomed attendees, celebrated the group’s 2025 bond work, and led an icebreaker.
Bond Project Updates
Associate Superintendent of Operations Dr. Steve Shelton shared timelines and budgets for all bond projects and initial renderings for the Aerospace Academy, PLMS, and GWE/HGE projects (similar designs expected).
Prop C Update
Superintendent Dr. Buck noted the prior Board passed a resolution to place Prop C on the April 2026 ballot. The current Board will vote on it in December.
Elementary School Planning
Dr. Buck reminded members that the LSE/WVE PrAT formed by the Board last school year has recommended not consolidating. Per the Jan. 16 Board resolution, the CAC will now recommend how to allocate available funds for an additional elementary school:
- Sept. 30: Facilities presentation on LSE, WVE, and PLE projects with updated budgets.
- Oct. 28: CAC decision on whether funds can support an additional elementary (LSE, WVE, PLE), and if so where to direct them to.
Funding Update
Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Dr. Chad Hertzog and Dr. Buck provided local, state, and federal funding updates.
Membership Audit
Elaine Bluml and Katy Bergen (Public Relations) announced a membership audit to assess stakeholder representation, last done in 2021. Members completed a form; we will continue to distribute this form at meetings this year to collect all members data. Data will be reviewed later at a 2026 meeting.
