Construction Management Task Force Compendium
CSBA created a Construction Management Task Force to meet the need for board members to understand their role in construction management. Over the course of two years, the Construction Management Task Force developed a compendium that includes information on topics including an overview of the state agencies involved in construction and modernization, facility master planning, apprenticeship programs, site selection and land acquisition, and a glossary of construction management terms. We hope that these tools and resources will be helpful to you when considering the issues of construction and modernization.
Focus on CSBA Activities
CSBA recognized the need to thoroughly discuss issues regarding public school construction and assembled a Task Force for the 2006 year. Board members, superintendents and representatives from labor and other interested organizations comprised the Task Force.
The charge of the CSBA Construction Management Task Force was to assist districts as they address the board’s overarching role with respect to school facilities, which is to ensure that facilities adequately and safely house the students, enhance the instructional program, and help achieve its vision for educating the community’s students.
Resources
Members of the Task Force have developed various resources for school board members around ten topic areas.
