developments shared with OC but OC isn’t <br />building new schools <br />5. Thanks to County staff for all of their work – <br />bound by the same restrictions schools are and <br />have done their best (Perdita, Ashley, and Craig) <br />viii. Jean: should make the broader scope of the SAPFO work <br />group more immediate <br />1. Pre-K, space at schools, don’t wait on kids to get <br />to school and predict ahead of time based on <br />capacity, account for age of schools <br />2. This is a board issue – SAPFO report has been on <br />consent and we haven’t really thought about or <br />considered it <br />a. Staff have done a great job of doing what <br />we’ve asked them to do but the board <br />needs to figure out what changes are <br />needed to update <br />b. Renee: previous boards have been very <br />active in the review of SAPFO but in the <br />past couple of years it’s been placed on <br />consent and no one asked to pull it – <br />COVID may have impacted this <br />i. In the past have pointed out issues <br />with SAPFO, Mebane has always <br />been an issue (definitely should <br />work more closely with Mebane) <br />ii. Have had long discussions about <br />Pre-K with school boards and <br />Finance (Maggie Chotas may <br />have minutes from those <br />meetings) <br />ix. Rani: Echos everything Patrick said <br />1. Encourage us to be really specific in next steps, <br />very urgent <br />2. Willing to be a part of the team to review and <br />discuss (have participated in the past) <br />3. Thanks so much to Perdita for all of her help in <br />understanding context <br />4. Bonnie: can we send a recommendation forward <br />to boards sooner rather than later (doesn’t have <br />to replace, can just update) or include in our final <br />report? <br />5. Jean: let’s discuss that during next steps <br />x. Renee: hard to plan for capacity with charter schools – <br />kids going back and forth (numbers going to charter <br />schools is increasing) <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F3ECCCC4-11C5-4B8B-A148-28FAABFF6334
