School Beat: School seeks Planning History Summary; Observer will respond.

(Ed.note: In the recent Evansville School Board minutes is the request that folks respond with ideas on the text of "How We Got Where We Are"-----or "Plunkett Revealed". The Observer is working on a package of text, audio and video that will be responsive. Stay tuned.)

January 2008 Evansville School Board Minutes:

Long Range Planning


There are a few resources in your packet that I have been pulling together to look at the history of our
land purchases and facilities. There are often inconsistencies or gaps in the records I have been looking at.
Some are as simple as dates being off by a year depending on whether or not the year ground was broken
or the year the building was occupied is used. If you have any additional knowledge or resources that
would help us create as accurate a record as possible, I would appreciate your input.

If you think another
format or way to present the information would be clearer, let me know. Eventually these documents need
to be in a format that will be of use to our ad hoc planning committee. I think it will be hard to picture
where we need to go, if we don’t have a fairly accurate picture of how we got where we are.
