accrued through a Tax Increment Financing District and will cost $21.9 million. It
is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2011. After the presentation YAC members
gave their opinions of the new center and suggestions of amenities they would
like to see, such as longer hours of operation and a "build- your -own" membership
option.
4. Teen Issue presentation and discussion led by Kristin Weegar, Marketing &
Research Coordinator
- Bullying
Ms. Weegar started out with a video to introduce the topic of bullying. Members
gave input that they felt Facebook was a big medium for bullying. They feel like
bullying is more common in younger age groups and dies off as teens go through
high school. The group reviewed measures that are being taken by BISD as well
as what is happening at the federal, state and local level to address bullying. The
group was given an opportunity to sign an online petition against bullying that is
sponsored by the Pacer Center and Teens Against Bullying.
