III. 3rd floor:
1. National Mission - RJ moves into Nancy Walla’s current office.
2. Library – Renee Suiter moves into RJ’s current office
3. PID is okay for now – they will use their current “intern” office space for the new person joining PID.
4. #3904, the “storage room” in the movement room has not been used in years. Gail & Stephany will start the process of cleaning that room (they will contact people to come & take what they need, etc. then donate the rest to charity). It will become a “CDC” space.
IV. Long Term Recommendations:
These are recommendations that cannot be resolved by August 07, school year, but are issues that KDES should address in the future.
1. Re: The Library
Explore possibilities of establishing a presence for the Library on the 2nd and/or 1st floors.
2. Re: CDC
CDC would like to establish an infant center and wants to expand its regular student base. That means they will need more space for additional classrooms and the infant center.
3. Re: Nursery Program
Nursery wants to add another “larger” classroom. This could be accomplished by removing the wall between Rooms 2219 and 2208. Naturally such renovation will be dependent on funding issues. An estimate for that work has been requested but has not been completed at this time.
