• To monitor and advise Regional Design Teams as they evaluate regional strengths and areas of focus and as they make recommendations for use or repurposing of facilities;
• To evaluate and coordinate the recommendations of the Regional Design Teams from a District perspective;
• To analyze the feasibility of the Regional Design Teams’ recommendations or other options as the Committee sees fit and to provide such analysis to the Board of Education and/or the District Leadership Team for consideration;
