Board schedules community outreach on facilities master plan; meetings June 12 at Edison and Ed Hall
Summary
Board members discussed the district facilities master plan and reaffirmed community engagement sessions scheduled for June 12 at Edison and Ed Hall to collect public input before finalizing proposals.
Board members discussed the proposed facilities master plan and the need for additional outreach before the board attempts to finalize a plan. Board members said initial outreach drew limited attendance and that more meetings are needed in different locations to gather meaningful input.
Nut graf: To avoid bringing an undeveloped plan to a vote, the board scheduled community sessions at two neighborhood schools on June 12 so residents can review proposed changes, raise traffic and redistricting concerns and give feedback on potential facility changes.
Board member Robert Traver said the district will hold meetings at Ed Hall School (209 Clermont Avenue) and Edison School (115 Boston Terrace) on June 12 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The superintendent and board members urged residents to attend and promised further outreach depending on turnout. Another board member, William Sikalovic, asked for a framework and timeline for traffic and transportation studies and potential redistricting work once community input is received.
The superintendent said the sessions are intended to continue outreach that had low attendance earlier; the board and district staff said they will schedule follow-up meetings depending on community feedback.
Ending: The facilities master plan remains in development. The district urged residents to attend the June 12 sessions; the board said it will not finalize the plan until substantial public input is collected and staff return with studies and timelines.
