Some new information has come to light specifically around AGR (Achievement Gap Reduction) funding. Additionally, we have updated information regarding the capacities at our elementary schools and we would like to ensure that there is sufficient space for special education, classrooms, encore classes, bridge rooms, etc. by conducting a real-time mapping of each of the buildings. We'd like the task force to have that information as well, so that together they can determine if the new information influences their recommendations.

As another reminder, this is part of the Wausau School District/Board's process to create a long-range elementary school facilities plan. That plan will focus, in particular, on whether the number of elementary schools in the Wausau School District should be reduced and if so, then how, where, and when.
