Discussion:

á       We need to understand migration plan.  What existing equipment is going to be used in the new buildings?

á       We want to make sure that we are not scrimping on technology.  This is the time to bring the infrastructure up to date.

á       The HSBC will make a recommendation if there is a discrepancy between budget and technology infrastructure needs as compiled by Leisha Simon and the WHS technology staff.  The School Committee will be consulted.

 

2.     FF&E budget and scope refinement is ongoing.  2nd coordination meeting was held with WHS staff on Dec. 8.  Furniture samples will arrive soon for staff to try out.  There is plenty of time to figure out FF&E.   We will look for a market for used furniture.  Dr. Burton asked that the new furniture in the science modulars, for example, be used in the new school.
