In developing a scope of work for the proposed 2004 Bond Program, the Citizens' 2004 Bond Advisory Committee considered a variety of issues that impact students' welfare and achievement as well as taxpayers' long-term investment in district facilities. These considerations ranged from issues as varied as the provision of closed-circuit cameras and improved building entry systems to enhance the safety and security of our schools, to the renovation of facilities to meet current educational specifications and the construction of new classrooms to relieve overcrowded schools. In doing its work, the committee identified issues of immediate concern as well as those that, although not currently critical, if left unattended will lead to much more expensive remediation in the long run.
