Committee members received a memorandum explaining the statutory requirements concerning K-12 capital construction projects, prepared by Legislative Council Staff, along with the board's K-12 capital construction list (Attachment A). Ms. Herrmann explained the process by which K-12 capital projects are selected and prioritized, and discussed the projects on the list. Ms. Herrmann then explained the approval process for the capital construction list. Ms. Herrmann and Mr. Hughes responded to questions regarding the criteria considered when prioritizing the K-12 capital construction list, and explained the funding sources for K-12 capital construction.
