Agenda has been posted now - http://chccs.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=54 Highlights are continued discussion of what budget cuts to make should the BoCC not fully fund our request plus a request to the BoCC to fund work next fiscal year to begin one of the older facility projects (if we start the phased list of projects now, we can delay need for next elementary school beyond the renovations -- if we wait for bond funding, our projections show we'll run out of capacity in the middle of the renovation efforts and need to build a new school at the same time as renovating older facilities).

Thanks for the update on this meeting, James!

In case you haven't heard yet, tonight's Chapel Hill Town Council meeting on Ephesus-Fordham has been rescheduled to next Monday night at 7pm due to technical difficulties.
