High School Addition Plans and Specifications
There was a discussion among board members, administration, and Rachelle Hines from FRK Architects about the current design layout of the new High School addition, specifically the elevation of the entrance.  Mike Thomas voiced concern for the current layout because of the steps and ramps inside the building due to bringing the elevation of the entrance up to street level.  He stated that he had spoken with sixty people who were against the layout.
To counter that, others stated:
•	There had been several meetings with user groups as well as the visioning committee to discuss the design.  Those groups were in favor of the elevation.  
•	There would be steps outside versus inside with possible retaining walls if the layout was changed. 
•	All steps and ramps would be ADA compliant.
•	Most everyday citizens would probably not be entering or utilizing the actual educational space.
•	This layout matches the future-ready design that’s been focused on throughout the bonding process.
After the discussion it was moved by Mike Moore and seconded by Bob Thomas to continue with the current plans for the High School addition as they are with the elevation to the entrance being the same as the elevation to the Simon Estes Auditorium.  Roll call vote:
  Ayes: Brooke Johnson, Mike Moore, Bob Thomas, Kevin Wiskus
  Nays: Mike Thomas, Tim Burger
Motion passed 4-2.
