[quote=Anonymous]Yes, they would typically identify alternatives at the end of the work session. Policy FAA has this description of the process:

F. BOARD OF EDUCATION DELIBERATIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS 
1. Based on further analysis of the factors considered through the stakeholder input 
process, the Board may, by majority vote, identify one or more alternatives to the 
superintendent of schools’ recommendations. Alternatives put forward by the 
Board will advance one or more of the factors set forth in section G below. Staff 
will develop options consistent with the alternatives identified. 
2. The Board will allow time to hold public hearings and solicit written testimony on 
the recommendations of the superintendent of schools and Board identified 
alternatives for site selection, school boundaries, geographic student choice 
assignment plans, or school closings or consolidations. 
3. The Board has the discretion to adopt minor modifications to the superintendent of 
schools’ recommendation(s) or Board-identified alternatives if, by a majority vote, 
the Board has determined that such action will not have a significant impact on an 
option for site selection, school boundaries, geographic student choice assignment 
plans, or school closings or consolidations that has received public review. 
4. The Board may approve a different and/or condensed process and time schedule, 
developed by the superintendent of schools and in accordance with applicable state 
or county requirements, for making recommendations to the Board regarding the 
capital improvements program and the facility planning activities listed above, 
including but not limited to selecting sites for new schools, changing school 
boundaries, establishing geographic student choice assignment plans, and closing 
or consolidating in the event that the Board determines that unusual circumstances 
exist.[/quote]
