3. Items that require minor corrections are performed by the serviceperson(s) located at the facility.
4. Items with schools scheduled for replacement or renovation are addressed during the construction.
5. Many of the items that are listed have already been corrected. The inspection report delineates the deficiencies and corrections observed at the time of inspection. Completion of additional corrections will be noted during next year's inspections and cited on the corresponding reports.
The above exhibits are available in the Board members' office on the 14th Floor of the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center, at the public stand in the lobby of the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center, and on eAgenda.
