Slide 7: APPROACH 5 Major Categories  Growth  Instructional Program Support  Technology and Related Professional Development  Facility Improvement  Health, Safety, and Emergency Preparedness

Slide 8: 4 SECTIONS IN EACH  Which projects fall into this category?  Ramifications of a May 15, 2007 bond failure and what problems are created?  Alternatives for managing these problems in the short run?  Alternatives for managing these problems in the long run?

Slide 9: OVERARCHING THEMES 1. Growth: Even with new classrooms opening next year, existing enrollments require more classrooms now and the need will continue to grow. 2. Deteriorating Facilities: Past overcrowding, the wear and tear of intensive use of buildings and classrooms and the degraded condition of heavily used equipment require replacement or upgrading of our capital facilities if they are to continue to be useful. Continued on next page

Slide 10: OVERARCHING THEMES (continued) 3. Many capital expenditures are necessary whether or not the bonds are available to pay for them and instructional dollars must be used instead. 4. Failure to deal with capital needs on a timely basis has both immediate and cumulative effects on students, families and teachers.

Slide 30: FINAL COMMENTS Voters will make a choice on May 15, 2007. This report was commissioned by the Board of Directors to identify, study, and report on the impacts and options if this measure is rejected. Unfortunately, the alternatives are not easy. Nearly every short term option is both expensive in its own right and even more costly in the long run.

Slide 31: FINAL COMMENTS There are financial costs. More importantly, there are educational and human costs.
