Discussions on whether the city’s School Building Committee should have the final authority on school construction project spending will continue through a subcommittee. The Common Council approved Wednesday to refer the item to the Consolidated Subcommittee for further review on the resolution’s language and make potential amendments. The SBC is a non-paid 7-member organization appointed by the city, according to the city’s ordinance. It is responsible for developing preliminary plans and cost estimates for each school construction project and reports are made to the Board of Education, the Common Council and the Mayor’s Office.
