COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Nov. 8 Referendum

Facilities Planning

AH19 COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUP SUMMARY

In fall 2021, the district and School Board resumed long-range facilities planning efforts following the unanticipated impact and consequences of the global Covid pandemic. As part of the strategic plan approved in fall 2021, effective communications and community engagement throughout the pre-referenda planning period were prioritized. To uphold this commitment to engage community stakeholders in discussions and problem-solving, two Facilities Planning Advisory Groups were convened in February 2022. This activity followed two Staff Workshops in January and precedes a planned Community Workshop and Community Survey for spring 2022. Read the entire Community Focus Group Summary here.
