2. New Business/Unfinished Business
a.     The committee discussed and recapped the meeting with Dr. Green at DHS.
b. We discussed the need for a new “wish list” based on the possibility we may receive more classroom space
c.	 Chad G. suggested that we ask Stan Jester to support the additional classrooms request. Chad is going to draft an email to that effect.
d. We discussed the need for better and more positive communication with our community regarding the construction project. Lots of negative impressions and misinformation is being shared. Discussed how to balance that with correct information and when best to share the details.
e. Discussed creative temporary solutions to our overcrowding, including using the old Austin building, field space at the former Shallowford Elementary and old Chamblee Middle. Will look at these possibilities and see if we can suggest/request some options.
f.	 We also discussed possible gym improvements/additions. Chad says we are already at the required number of students to qualify for an auxiliary gym, according to state standards for buildings.
g.	 Also discussed classroom size – new state standards require classrooms to be 750‐800 feet. Discussion of state standards vs. DeKalb standards.
h. We discussed trying to question our construction timeline and ask the county to finish by June 2022 so we can move in to the new facilities that summer and be ready for students in fall 2022.
i.	Next CAC meeting is on Tuesday, May 14 at 5pm.

3. Meeting adjourned at 5:56pm
