Ms. Fladeland provided information on the process that is followed in preparation for this visit and stated that programs in the areas of art, business education, science and technology were reviewed. She highlighted the exit report, which was very positive regarding program as well as staff, and stated that the final report which will provide information on program strengths/limitations as well as recommendations for improvement will be ready in about 4 -6 weeks. Or. Mich provided the Board with information on the District's capital needs stating that the development of a five year plan last year brought to the fore many of those needs and that although the facilities have been well maintained, there are areas that need to be improved/updated, there is a sizeable need for an increased expenditure in the area of technology plus an increased need in the area of textbooks, etc. He stated that most of these needs have a strong educational component as well as <^he component of maintaining the quality of the physical plant that the community has provided. He stated that it is his understanding that the Board recognizes these needs as important basic necessi ties for the School District and chat the Boa'^d o' Education fulfills its responsibilities by presenting these needs to its constituents through a bond referendum. Discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of a bond referendum and the potential times at which a referendum m-ght be attempted. The Board of Education directed administration to continue to examine the capital needs/dollars involved and if their findings remain affirmative for a bond referendum, administration should return a recommendation at the March 9 meeting calling for a bond referendum. Mr. McKown encouraged individual Board members to thoroughly study the information they have received and then contact Dr. Mich or Mr. Lawson and communicate their opinions which will also provide administra tion some direction in this decision. UPON MOTION by John Maresh, seconued by Peg Swanson, the meeting was adjourned. Motion carried. Approved; Don A. Anderson, Vice Chainn<3n
