Speak Up at a Board of Trustees Facilities Meeting Thursday, 3/9, 3:30-5pm  

Do you want to tell the BOT about the Arctic cold in your workplace? Do your students want to speak up? The BOT Facilities Committee meets on Thursday, and they’ll take public comment.

The next meeting is tomorrow Thursday, 3/9, from 3:30-5:00, both in person at MUB 140 and on Zoom. To make public comment, you must sign up by 3:00 that day. Instructions are on the agenda: https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/ccsf/Board.nsf/Public

They have a few hopeful items on their agenda.
 Accepting bids for boiler replacements at JAD, Mission, and the Wellness Center. The agenda does not list time-frames for the work to actually be done.
 Notices of completion for multiple projects, including asbestos tile removal in Cloud and something they call “Science Hall Basement Abatement,” and in one place, “Science Abatement.” This could be mold abatement. Or something else they have chosen not to name publicly.
