A draft statement calls for a 12 member Citizens Committee, weekly meetings with the board, priority repairs or replacements, and careful consideration of consolidation only when educational and economic factors justify it. The plan avoids a general election and seeks countywide support, with final approval to come at the August 10 meeting and board consideration thereafter.
