School Plant account

First up is School Plant which is budgeted for $2.3 million
Monfredo starts looking for money: could we cut $5000 from the environmental management (no, it's contractual)? trash removal? (no)
Novick: percentage of recycling (10% maybe)? Might we work to increase it, particularly in the cafeteria? (problem with food contamination) Has our building repair budget gone up, have we needed to outsource more? (no)
Biancheria: custodial supplies (goes up when people use the building, rentals) Might the supply budget get more money from schools that rental, and so increase rental fees? (currently fees are set by schools; schools use funds to repair and replace equipment that is used by those renting the building; Allen also points out that the amount of money brought in is small)
O'Brien mentions that we've tried to open our buildings, building partnerships, "a balance" to keep our buildings used by the community, many of whom are used for our kids...try to encourage the community school directors to build partnerships, use fees to build a stronger community school program
Mullaney mentions that we've lost rentals due to our fees already; the last thing we'd want to do is make it harder.
O'Brien: construction supplies: doesn't include the capital funds, "this is day-to-day funds" "not like we're working off a list of thousand things we're hoping to get to" (right)
