3.4 
Public Engagement Services 
A key component of developing the facility improvement plan involves public 
engagement. A second key component is financing facility improvements. At 
the end of the day, voters will want to know why a bond is needed: does it 
provide the best solution; what will it cost; can they afford it; and how will life 
continue in the meantime? To answers these questions and gain taxpayer 
support, a bond campaign will need to be outlined and implemented. 
 
Motion that the Board of Education authorize issuance of a Request for 
Proposals (RFP) for a consultant for public engagement services in regards 
to facility improvements.
