Greg Roush will present a report on Westridge Elementary.

At the January 18 meeting, the FCPS Board of Education approved the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan for 2011-12.  At that time the Board requested quarterly updates.  This is the first update since January.  The version of the CDIP attached includes a modified column with notes on progress since January.

The Local Planning Committee met on five different occasions to develop the Facilities Plan (4 year plan) for the district.  We feel that the plan accurately captures district priority needs based on building evaluations, etc.  The plan has been developed in accordance with 702 KAR 4:180.
Attached is the district plan as well as a list of committee members and other relevant documents used in the process.
