Allen's school board, City Council and chamber of commerce will sit down together Thursday evening, Oct. 29, to walk through what each wants from the Legislature, in what the school district's posting calls a TRIAD meeting.
The joint session starts at 6 p.m. at Allen ISD's Professional Learning & Auxiliary Services Building, 610 E. Bethany Drive. It opens with three leaders calling their groups to order: Lynn Whitcher, chair of the Allen Chamber of Commerce executive committee; Polly Montgomery, president of the Allen ISD Board of Trustees; and Mayor Chris Schulmeister.
Who presents
An overview of legislative priorities is listed for chamber CEO Kyle Jacobson, school board Vice President Bill Parker and Assistant City Manager Rebecca Vice. A second segment, billed as a legislative priority highlight, features Dan Bowman, president and CEO of the Allen Economic Development Corporation; Kyle Penn, the district's assistant superintendent of business and technology; and Jacobson again.
The agenda then calls for a collaboration activity among the groups.
The posted agenda does not list the priorities themselves or any votes in open session. It does reserve time for a closed session covering legal advice, property, personnel and security audits, followed by any action on those items.
