Board debates priorities: athletics upgrades vs. middle‑school renovations
Summary
Board members said the master plan is flexible and phases need not be sequential; some community members press for athletic facilities while others favor starting on middle‑school upgrades, which several members described as having "good bones."
Board members discussed how the campus master plan phases should be prioritized.
Jeff explained the master plan phases are a menu and can be executed out of sequence: "just because it's 1 through 7 doesn't mean it has to be done 1 through 7." Some community members the board heard from at coffee chats questioned why athletic projects appear high on the list instead of a middle‑school renovation. Several board members said the middle school has solid structure and could be upgraded rather than replaced.
One board member emphasized extracurriculars as an extension of classroom learning, noting high student participation at graduation as evidence of facility demand. Others said community appetite varies and stressed the need to continue educating residents about the plan's visionary nature and the difference between operational levies and capital projects.
