Content and components of the latest version of the IP were presented (Exhibit B) by Geoff Lightfoot and others. Detailed support for various planned expenditures over $500,000 was provided to the Committer during this presentation, for review by them later. Lee Salen pointed out that the IP, once accepted, would probably change, and suggested a set of threshold indicators that might cause it to be sent to the Board of Education for review. These would be; 1) a change of more than $100, 000 in cost, 2) a change of more than 25% in a project budget, or 3) a change of more than 1 year in a project duration. Mr. Salen also suggested that it be made a standard practice to report actual expenditure of bond funds against the budget no less frequently than quarterly. It was moved (West) and seconded (Su) to accept the report. Motion passed unanimously.

The Committee requested that the District perform one final check with the principals and the School Site Committees to identify any significant items that do not appear in the Implementation Plan. The District staff agreed and will schedule meetings with Principals to review the plan for their schools.
