Build the Dream Committee
Board sponsors: James Kirby
Meeting Schedule: Meets monthly
The Build The Dream Committee, made up of interested volunteers, parent professionals and CVCS staff meet a minimum of once a month to support and execute the Board's vision to physically grow our school in a sustainable and focused way. We are working together in a collaborative effort to relocate and consolidate the CVCS school body to a dedicated learning space specifically designed to address the needs of our growing EL school. We actively seek out and consider new buildings and properties and once an ideal opportunity is selected, we will execute projects to renovate, permit, construct and eventually transition the CVCS crew to our new physical space.
Activities:
- Closely monitor real estate opportunities that meet the zoning, space, and usage requirements of the future school population
