Residents press board for broader input on 1988‑section repairs and RFQ process
Summary
During public comment at the Nov. 3 meeting residents raised concerns about the pace and transparency of the architectural RFQ for repairs to the 1988 addition, questioned the composition of an ad hoc committee, and asked for investigation reports and expanded community engagement.
Three residents used the public‑comment period at the Nov. 3 Stillwater Township Board of Education meeting to press the board for greater transparency and community involvement in plans to address repairs to the district’s 1988 addition.
JP Domiciano opened public remarks by praising the school while raising a separate concern that, according to parents who contacted him, a teacher may have recommended that parents consider medication for a child; Domiciano urged the district to explore alternatives before medication. The meeting transcript records his remarks as a community concern; the board did not provide a substantive public response during the comment period.
Richard Kelsky said he was unaware the district was advancing the 1988‑section project as quickly as it appeared to be moving, asked about the purpose of the RFQ for architects and questioned why not all board members were included on the related committee. He also questioned the urgency of addressing repairs to the addition.
Cody Castner said an ad hoc committee had been formed regarding the 1988 project and asked that the committee be dissolved, requested copies of investigation reports and presentation materials, and urged the board to broaden community input.
Board members acknowledged the public comments on facilities during the Building & Grounds update but no formal change to the RFQ or committee composition was recorded in the meeting minutes. Residents asked for documents and broader engagement; the administration and board did not announce immediate changes or a specific timeline for additional outreach during the meeting.
