Agenda Item
ix. Request to Georgia Department of Education for Site Approval for the new Middle and High School Facility at the Sequoyah Site
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the application to the Georgia Department of Education for site approval of the new Middle and High School Facility at the Sequoyah Site.
Why: A formal request for site approval is required by the Georgia Department of Education for the construction of new school facilities, including rebuilding existing school facilities.
Details: The Georgia Department of Education requires that all school facilities being built or rebuilt undergo a formal process of review of the geographic, environmental, and development conditions of the site on which new school facilities will be constructed. Once this review process has been completed, a formal request for site approval by the local school system is necessary for the Georgia Department of Education to consider the site application for approval.
Financial impact: There is no financial impact of submitting a site application to the Georgia Department of Education.
