2020 BLUE RIBBON TASK FORCE
The purpose of the 2020 Blue Ribbon Task Force (“BRTF”) is to inform and advise the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees (“Board”) on matters relating to San Antonio ISD’s (“District”) facility needs and a possible 2020 Bond. The term (“2020 Bond or Bond”) as used in this charter, is for purposes of convenience and efficiency and does not presuppose that the Board will decide to call a bond election. Consequently, The BRTF will function in an advisory capacity to the Board, and to the Superintendent and Senior Staff.
The BRTF will consider the District’s Visions, Values & Beliefs as well as the Mission Statement: “To transform SAISD into a national model urban school district where every child graduates and is educated so that he or she is prepared to be a contributing member of the community.” The BRTF will present recommendations to the Board.

Members of the BRTF, while free to communicate factually about district facility needs and whether to propose a 2020 Bond, should avoid promoting the passage of a 2020 Bond while using District resources. (See Do's and Don'ts of Political Advertising for a Bond Election below.)
In all, the BRTF will be responsible for evaluating the findings of the facilities assessments and educational adequacy needs of the District, provide input and feedback on community attitudes and perceptions, develop a long-range plan recommendation, develop a recommendation for the list of priority projects to be included in a 2020 bond referendum, present long-range plan recommendation to the Board, and present list of priority projects to be included in a 2020 bond referendum to the
Board.
