II. Vestibules
Discussion:
There was much discussion on the vestibules. Mr. Harwell talked about the schedule for them and about having the designs done so work could get started. The one component that took the most time towards getting started was securing approval with the State Fire Marshall. Some board members want to find a way to add SCHS and a vestibule at the cafeteria location. Dr. Garrett will bring back an estimate to do this within 60 days.
