G.-1 21-0056 Public Comments on All Non-Agenda Items Within the Subject Matter Jurisdiction of the Facilities Committee - Up to 30 minutes - January 8, 2021.
Continued comment re: using school site space for administration: Regarding 2 negatives raised by district staff: 1) Walking away from sunk costs in this case is no different than walking away in other situations when necessary, and it is even possible that the prep work done for a new building could make Cole more attractive to an outside user. 2)While Mr. Tadashi stated using part of a building for administration would forever limit its classroom capacity, that is simply not true. In San Leandro, a school became the district office for a number of years, and now is back to being a school.
