Space Committee

At last week’s KDES school-wide meeting, I announced the initiation of a “KDES Space Committee”. One teacher told me they thought maybe it was a project about the stars and planets (no, I will not divulge the name!) so I thought I would send out a little info about it.

I was asked by the Principal at PMT to start a committee to examine “how we are using our space at Kendall School?” Throughout the years, student numbers, staffing plans, programs, and many other factors change. It will be the task of the committee to examine current programmatic needs and then to make subsequent recommendations re: the use of space to meet our needs.

The recommendations will fall into 2 categories:

1. Short term recommendations:
Any moves or changes, we recommend to try to accomplish for the Fall of
2007.(i.e. August 07)

2. Long term recommendations: any moves or changes that would serve our needs
in the future, but which could not be resolved by Fall 2007.

The committee is scheduled to meet on Thursdays, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, starting next Thursday, 1/18/07 and continuing until 3/1/07.Yes, the Principal needs the recommendations by March 1st.

Because this committee will be examining the use of space on all three floors of Kendall School, we would like to have a representation from each unit at Kendall. To date, members are: Maureen Burns, Gail Solit, Rosemary Stifter, Nicole Sutliffe, Cynthia Sadoski, Stephany Sims, Susan Schatz, Francisca Rangel, Lynn Olden, Patrick Atunoah, Catherine Valcourt-Pearce and Don Mahoney.

We would like to be sure that each unit is represented. Please contact me to arrange this, as the 1st meeting is scheduled for 1/18/07. If you have any questions, please contact me or stop by.
Thank you.
