Address Our Priority Needs
The planning process included assessing our facility, working with staff, and engaging the community to determine priorities, needs and potential solutions. Since November of 2022, the District has developed a community-based strategic plan, completed a detailed facility audit, surveyed staff on facility deficiencies, and developed a long-term facility plan.
In January 2024, this comprehensive approach helped the Board of Education finalize details for the operational and capital referendums as part of a long-term plan for our school. The proposed plan would address the following priority programming and facility needs for our District:
