Following initial discussions, Building Team members went to the online Miro Board application to share opinions and feedback of the initial building options.
Building Team Meeting #2
Each Building Team met the second time in virtual meetings on April 2-4, 2024. After a general presentation during each meeting, team members worked in small groups using the online application Miro to consider answers to the following questions:
1. In what ways are the facilities failing to meet the expectations and needs of all stakeholders now and in the future?
2. What facility changes need to occur to align with the district's educational mission?
3. What do you perceive as sacred as it pertains to buildings or the district’s facilities?
Building Team responses to the questions are within the meeting notes below.
