The consultants will give several options in early October. The community will give feedback. The consultants will summarize that feedback. Then the superintendent makes one recommendation to the Board, there is another round of community feedback on that proposal specifically, and then the Board makes the final decision.

Next month there will be a new round of options released. The super could pick one of those, or make a modification of any of them to recommend to the board.

The Superintendent makes one recommendation.

The superintendent sends his recommendation early next year, and next year (I think in one of the March meetings), the school Board votes on it. There are public hearings in between.

Because the board rubberstamps whatever the superintendent tells them to do.
