Adjustments since Draft Presentation
• After receiving information from the Community Survey and Public Forum, the Citizens Steering Committee felt it necessary to conceptually include the walking track in the gymnasium for the New High School. Administration and Board Members on the Committee agreed that this would be a good response to input received from the community survey and public forum.
New High School
Elementary Projects• It was also concluded that partial “All Day” kindergarten could be achieved at Childs Elementary by the relocation of one Special Ed classroom to an underutilized existing resource room, eliminating the necessity for the planned addition. Bond allocated monies for the proposed two kindergarten classroom addition will be reallocated to the New High School. Administration and Board Members on the Committee agreed that this would be a good response to input received from the community survey and public forum.
• The District Building and Site Committee has been formulating a list of “Future Projects”. The District Administration has identified some projects from the “Future Projects List” as “Must Do” from the 2005 Bond Issue budget. This includes partial roof replacement at Model Elementary, and abatement / ADA upgrades at Brick Elementary.
