Performing Arts Center Task Force
In order to fulfill the voters' expectations associated with their approval
of the May 10, 2008, bond proposition that authorizes the expenditure by the
Austin Independent School District of $40M to construct a district-wide student
performing arts center, the Board of Trustees and the Administration jointly
created the AISD Student Performing Arts Center (PAC) Task Force.
The "charge" of the PAC task force includes:
- Review the needs assessment, basis for recommendations and the AISD
Performing Arts Advisory Committee recommendations to determine if all
assumptions that were used to develop the design concept are still
appropriate to develop site and building design specifications given
the 2008 Bond Program Performing Arts Center budget and schedule.
Make recommendations for modifications to the design concept and
specifications as appropriate;
- Review criteria for the selection of the best possible site
for the location of the PAC (e.g. district-wide access, cost,
environmental and neighborhood considerations, parking, joint
use opportunities, etc.);
After staff and the real-estate consultant have identified potential
sites and the Board selects a site the task force would:
- Review the Board selected site for the PAC;
- Review and provide input on the design concept for the PAC
prior to the presentations of the proposed design concept to
the Board of Trustees and the Community Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC);
- Continue to provide input to staff during the design and construction
phases of the project, serving the role similar to the Campus Task Force
for a campus project;
- Report, at least quarterly, to the CBOC on the progress of the PAC project.
