District outlines public 'thought exchange' to shape next capital project
Summary
Superintendent described a stakeholder 'thought exchange' that will collect and rate community priorities for a possible December capital-project vote; a small test returned high priorities around EE classroom renovations, auditorium and classroom updates, and playground accessibility.
The superintendent briefed the board on a digital stakeholder engagement exercise ("thought exchange") planned to gather community priorities for the districts next capital project, which the administration said it may ask voters to approve in December. A test with roughly 25 participants produced 546 ratings and identified top priorities including EE classroom renovations, updates to the middle-high school auditorium, classroom and bathroom updates, and playground accessibility at GLP.
Administration outlined a communication plan using School Messenger, social media, an ad in the Penny Saver, printed posters with QR codes, and outreach to local businesses. The superintendent said the full thought-exchange rollout would run two weeks with reminders around the midpoint and near the closing date. Board members said the tools ability to aggregate and rate ideas was an improvement over traditional in-person meetings.
"So that the question that was posed or what are some of those things you would like to see in our facilities in order to support the success of our students?" the superintendent asked, describing the exercise. The board agreed to proceed with the outreach plan and review results before finalizing project scope.
