Community input continues to be a key element of the Board of Education’s long-range facility planning process. We want to thank all the community members who have provided their thoughts thus far, including through our recent survey!
At this time, the most pressing needs exist at our Elementary and High Schools. There is also a present and growing demand for more childcare options in our community, along with a need to improve our athletic facilities.

The Video Production class in summer school is learning about all the tools our school offers from the Green Screen Room, video editing software, lighting and audio equipment too. Students are working together in groups to create videos and are learning from one another about different techniques. We can't wait to see some of their videos come together in post-production!

Over the past two years, the Board of Education and District leaders have been evaluating the District’s facility needs and investigating possible solutions. This work is part of the district’s long-range facility planning process.
This process has included staff feedback, a third-party assessment, community tours, and conversations throughout our community. The District also surveyed our community members in Spring 2024.
The Board will continue to study and consider this issue throughout Summer 2024. If the Board decides to place a referendum question on the ballot for this November, it would likely vote to do so during its regular meeting on August 19th, 2024.
