Editor's Notes
In June 2014, a joint task force recommended to the School Board that it build a new elementary school and additional classroom space with a referendum election in 2015. Because of housing growth in the district, increasing student enrollments will cause schools to become crowded.
The task force of parents, students, school board members and staff represented early childhood through high school. It reviewed school capacities, enrollments, boundaries and related issues. As part of its recommendation, the task force outlined issues that must be addressed between now and the earliest that a new elementary school could open, which is 2017 if a 2015 referendum is successful.
Following the recommendation in June, the School Board convened a task force of principals, district staff and board members – the School Board Facility Task Force – to give the board action items based on the larger task force’s recommendation.
What was considered?The School Board Facility Task Force considered the following:
Classroom spaces, including current and potential leased space,
alternative facility repairs (long-term maintenance),
co-curricular and activity needs,
modifications to existing sites for current or future program needs,
and the financing for renovations, leases or other improvements.
