Board says memorials graphic designs are under revision; website redesign pending until first project completes
Summary
A resident asked about the status of graphic memorials and a planned website redesign. District officials said two graphic artists were hired, drafts are being revised, the board will review the final design, and a target installation month of December was suggested if approvals and production proceed smoothly.
Resident Jim Colopetra asked the board for an update on a previously discussed memorials project and a related website redesign. He asked when the memorials would be completed and whether the public would see designs before they are finalized.
District administrators said the district hired two graphic artists and that initial drafts did not match the district's vision, so the designs were returned for revision. Officials said the revised designs will come back for staff review and then to the board for input and approval. If the board approves the final design and prints are produced and mounted without delay, administrators estimated (as a guess) that installation could occur in December, but they emphasized that the date depended on the acceptance of the next draft and production timelines.
Administrators said the memorial design will be mounted in the district media center and that the board, not the public, will make the final siting and design decisions. Officials added the website redesign will not begin until this first memorial/graphic project is complete, after which the website changes will be folded into the broader project list.
Why it matters: The memorial project responds to community concerns about honoring past students and alumni; the resident sought transparency on public input and timing. District staff said the board will review and approve final designs before production.
