Crowdsourcing Policy
The Board voted to approve the Crowdsourcing Policy.

This policy is supplemental to CCPS’ Fundraising Policy, Reference I.II.10.
2020 Educational Facilities Master Plan
The Board approved the 2020 Educational Facilities Master Plan as required prior to its submittal to the Interagency Committee on School Construction (IAC).
The master plan is a planning tool that deals with the school system’s projected facility needs, and is required to be submitted annually to the IAC. The analysis and conclusions in the plan assist in the development of the Capital Improvement Plan.
