Discussion:  The board was presented three options to pursue based on community feedback and specific criteria for creating academic space in grades kindergarten through 8^th grade. Option 1 was a new intermediate building to house grades 4 and 5. Option 2 was to add mobile trailers at all five elementary schools.  Dr. Kay amended the idea of adding trailers at the Middle School due to the student traffic each period and the inability for the cafeteria to handle additional students.  This option does not determine a solution for 5^th grade as of yet. Option 3 was to build a new K-5 3-Track Elementary School and additions for classrooms in each existing elementary to bring 5^th grade back and for additional space.
The board asked Dr. Kay to provide an analysis of Option #1 with proposed space, programming, staffing, and cost to construct.  With #1 professional services for a traffic study would be done should if that be the final selection.
