7/11 Advisory Committee

In November 2020, the District formed what is referred to as a “7-11 Committee” to look at how to better utilize some of the District’s untapped assets.

The purpose of the Committee is to review and analyze real property that is owned by New Haven USD and to determine what real property could be designated as “excess” or “surplus” because it will not be needed for school purposes. The Committee will then present a report to the Board of Trustees recommending uses for the surplus property or how to dispose of the property (e.g., sale, lease, etc.). This is a very important task and we are looking for highly-qualified, capable and committed individuals to be members of the Committee. Members of the Committee serve only on a voluntary basis. The Committee proceedings and deliberations will be open to the public.

Similar to the meetings of the Board of Education, there are three ways to make a public comment within the time allotted for public comments on an eligible Agenda item for Board Committee meetings.

To comment by video conference, click the “Raise Your Hand” button to request to speak when Public Comment is being taken on the eligible Agenda item. When it is your turn to speak the Committee Chair will call on you. You will then be unmuted, during your turn, and allowed to make public comment. After the allotted time, you will then be re-muted.

To comment by phone, you will be prompted to “Raise Your Hand” by pressing “*9” to request to speak when Public Comment is being taken on the eligible Agenda Item. When it is your turn to speak the last four digits of your phone number will be called out. You will then be unmuted, during your turn, and allowed to make public comment. After the allotted time, you will then be re-muted. Instructions for Joining-a-meeting-by-phone can be found here.
If you would like to provide written public comments to the 7/11 Advisory Committee and the Budget & Finance Committee, you may do so by emailing the Chief Business Officer. Please send in your written comments at least an hour before the scheduled meeting time.
