Summary

Superintendent described a pilot 'thought exchange' to collect stakeholder input for a future capital project and outlined a communications plan to broaden participation; top priorities in the pilot included classroom renovations and auditorium/middle-high-school updates.

Superintendent reviewed a pilot 'thought exchange' — an online tool to collect and rate community ideas — intended to inform planning for the district's next capital project, which may come to voters in December. The pilot included roughly 25 participants and generated 546 ratings; the superintendent said the highest-rated ideas in the test were completing EE classroom renovations, upgrades to the middle-high-school auditorium, and classroom updates including bathrooms.

The superintendent described a communications plan to reach more stakeholders for the larger rollout: School Messenger, social media, an ad in the Penny Saver, posters with QR codes, and outreach to local businesses. She emphasized the exercise will allow the district to present community-supported options when it returns to voters and noted the process will include reminders and a two-week window for responses.
