District previews 'thought exchange' to crowdsource priorities for next capital project
Summary
Superintendent's report highlighted a test 'thought exchange' engagement with 25 participants and 546 ratings; top priorities included classroom renovations, auditorium updates and mechanical/electrical/plumbing improvements. Staff outlined a communication plan for broader rollout.
District staff described a pilot 'thought exchange'—an online tool to collect and rate community priorities for the district's next capital project. Staff said the test group included 25 participants, produced 546 ratings and surfaced priorities such as EE classroom renovations, high‑school auditorium updates and classroom modernization; staff explained they will expand outreach with School Messenger, social media, the Penny Saver and QR‑coded posters.
Board members who tested the tool praised the interface and discussed reminders and a two‑week engagement window. Staff cautioned that test results do not guarantee inclusion in the final project but said the tool will help drill down on community preferences to inform planning and a possible December vote.
