Agenda Item Summary: There are no major updates at this time. Since the last School Board meeting, staff have also updated the High School Project webpage with a “Things to Know About the High School Project” and maintained monthly updates to T.C. Williams faculty. The next update to the School Board will be at the May 23, 2019, regularly scheduled School Board meeting. The May 23 update will be significant in preparation for the June updates.
