          -The current faculty are feeling a little confused/frustrated due to a lack of clarity about this currently.
          -Architects are requesting the best dates/times for on-ground meetings because during the programming phase and schematic design (the phase we’re in) it allows people to talk about these things while they are there in person in a way that they cannot via a zoom call.
          -The faculty attending today think that providing a “syllabus” formatted message so that the faculty can see the game plan for the different phases of the planning process. They believe the faculty will then be able to better understand the “why” behind the request of the architects to have these beginning meetings in person.

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
ARC Mass Mailer System -There is a system that ARC IT manages with support from the district that will send a bulk mail that goes to more people than outlook but is a plain text mailer (not very elaborate, very transactional).
-The only data that IT had was from April - Present
-Some of our faculty coordinators, SRPSTC, learning communities have started sharing a variety of messages coming out through this system
-Trying to create some parameters around this system so that students don’t receive a major influx of messages so that their crucial emails are not buried under a wide variety of other mailers.
-Concern: A students’ ability to opt out of these mailers
-Need to incorporate a system for who gets approval to use this system
Accessibility Capability Maturity Model (ACMM) The kickoff meeting is coming up soon!
