Reviewing Buckeye's Board Mtg Docs for tmrw's Feb. General Mtg. Superintendent Jeff Stanton will be asking the board to pass a resolution to accept the Master Facility Plan as needed for the OFCC Partnership and approve the amended OFCC ELPP Agreement.

My concerns:
Opening Letter from OFCC -
The rush to sign and return the two documents: The "ELPP Project Agreement" & the included "Amended Resolution to Accept the Master Facility Plan" that the Board needs to pass to make it an official approved resolution and turn in by "no later than Feb. 12, 2026."! If the documents were just received by Buckeye officials Feb. 8th, this is just 4 days! I don't know of any law preventing buckeye rushing through the approval and signing of "resolution to Accept the Master Facility Plan" and signing the ELPP all within a few days. However, if the board really cared about full transparency and accountability to the public I would like to see something similar to their bylaws and policy review procedures (1st reading meeting, 2nd reading meeting then put to vote). Taking time to introduce it before the public, have initial time for board questions/discussion and come back the next monthly meeting and put to vote. After all, they are committing $63 Million of the local taxpayers money.

Resolution by the School District Board to Accept the 3rd Amended Master Facility Plan (mentioned in cover letter as item 2 to approve, sign, and return to OFCC by 2/12.

Concerns of the Resolution wording:
1. When looking at Scope of Project: Remember OFCC partnership won't give Buckeye the OFCC reimbursement if don't work within their guidelines. This led to scope of the new construction still being defined as a middle/high school. Also, the total project budget includes the 2004 construction cost of the elementary building (because you can't get any OFCC reimbursement until all the classroom buildings are addressed as the Master Facility Plan.)


BIG RED FLAGs throughout this proposed Resolution text!
