You may notice that this meeting is on a Saturday — this is the second of two board retreats this year. There will be a lot of discussions about facilities, and a lot of discussions about the budget situation that awaits us in this fiscal year.

That being said, since this is a retreat, don’t expect any tweets during the meeting. Our regular meetings are designed around getting public input into decision making. Our retreats are all about assessing all of the input we’ve received, assessing data and information from staff, and thinking big picture about the big decisions we need to make as a board.

The state budget outlook is beginning to get clearer. I’m hoping to blog a bit more next week about where things stand, and my initial thoughts on what we need to do to protect students and employees while riding out the storm.
