District to pilot community survey on city–school indoor pool partnership
Summary
The board reviewed a draft survey that would gauge community interest in a multi-use indoor pool developed in partnership with the city and YMCA; members asked that the city be more visibly co-branded on outreach and that the plan not be packaged solely as a school tax request.
Administration presented a draft household survey to measure community support for a proposed multi-use indoor pool that could serve both municipal recreation and school activities. The survey would be mailed to every household in the school district and made available online; administration proposed joint branding with the city and the YMCA for better reach and credibility.
Board members stressed the importance of clear packaging and distribution—particularly ensuring the city and YMCA co-brand materials so residents do not interpret the proposal as a district-only tax request. Members also discussed the timing of any referendum and noted that survey results that are lukewarm would not obligate the board to proceed; the survey is a data-gathering step to inform longer-term planning.
Administration will revise the survey outreach plan to increase city involvement in distribution and consider presentation language and visual branding to make the collaboration clear to households across the district.
