SAP Facts
There will be four committees, but we will meet three times as a committee of the whole:

Committees will use DCSD data, community and stakeholder feedback, and a decision-making tool to produce recommendations to boundaries, programs, and buildings.
Committee meetings will be held once a month and shared publicly.
