Resident pitches documentary‑style videos to document high school renovation; CHA and district may partner
Summary
A local videographer proposed a series of milestone and end‑of‑project documentary videos for the high school renovation; CHA and the district discussed a partnership and potential use of a $55,000 Saint Luke's grant to offset costs.
Mike Brown, a Pleasant Valley resident and owner of a local production firm, pitched a documentary‑style video series to document the high school renovation, highlight milestones, and educate the community on funding and impacts.
Brown said the project would include four milestone videos and a longer documentary at project completion; he proposed frequent site visits, drone and ground photography, and interviews with CHA staff, administrators, teachers, parents and students to tell the story. Brown said CHA has offered to partner and that "we also have some $55,000 in Saint Luke's grant money" that could be applied toward the work.
Why it matters: the videos would create a public record of the renovation, explain funding sources and milestones, and provide promotional material for the district and community outreach. The superintendent and board members expressed interest and asked staff to return with a formal proposal and financial details.
Next steps: Dr. Conrad and district staff (Tammy and others) will review the financial plan and the partnership terms with CHA and return to the board with a proposal. Brown said funding could be stretched over multiple school years and milestone videos could be released while the main documentary is completed near project end (projected around 2027).
