Goals around three arenas:
The named campus, the physical presence
Education
Advocacy
Discussion on guardrails to keep subcmte from wandering off the tasks
Discussion on composition of committee, representation from various stakeholder groups; final decision up to full School Committee
Draft doc to be updated based upon discussion and used by next committee
