Ronnie Wilson expressed concern about the growth of the school. He acknowledged that a lot of the concerns were addressed in casual conversations before the meeting was called to order. Ronnie expressed concern over lack of communication James addressed the concerns. James approached Mitch and Chad about volunteering to lead a chapel club each week before the morning assembly.
The growth of the school and needs of the school would be brought to the church after BPA’s architecture and contractors have made suggestions of growth expansion. James desires for BPA’s goals to meet the church’s goals. James discussed what the school in Belton has done to facilitate the growth of education through charter.
James has approached Calvary Baptist Church about leasing the facility but would like to stay at SBC. The space would need to be up-fitted and an elevator would need to be added. There is also no air-conditioner or heating unit in the gym.
Chad Moore asked about where the classroom space will be next year. Two rooms will be needed at a minimum to grow the fourth grade and have two first grade rooms. At a minimum BPA will need an extra room.
Ronnie Wilson requested to know where the water shut-off and electricity panel is in the event of an emergency. James said he can have the contractor come on-site and show the church members where the shut-off valves are.
Deirdre expressed her desire to know what will happen next year as far as acquiring an additional classroom space for the 2020-2021 academic year. She does not feel it would be feasible to split the fourth grade from the property.
Chad Moore asked if a sanctuary is built, will the school still need to have additional space to grow like it needs now.
Doris Clinkscales asked about the financial responsibility of building a sanctuary. James addressed the question and said the legalities would need to be further discussed and evaluated.
Personal comments were made Jordan Denmark regarding the appreciation of SBC allowing BPA the opportunity to be here.
