x. Request to Georgia Department of Education for Site Approval for the New Dresden Elementary School Facility
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 rebuild of the Dresden Elementary School Facility.
Why: A formal request for site approval is required by the Georgia Department of Education to construct new school facilities, including rebuilding existing ones.
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.
