The discussion will focus on possible changes to DSA's role in the plan checking and certification of public K-12 schools, including topics such as: *Allowing Architects of Record to self-certify public K-12 school projects at the end of construction; and *Allowing DSA to delegate plan check functions to local building departments for selected K-12 districts. *Considerations for a "tiered DSA process" that streamlines review for small projects.
