Peter Leatherman gave a remote report on the scientific survey which was conducted in November.
The survey consisted of 400 random households in the district and concluded that the district would be most likely to support a two facility option (remodel and new construction on the existing elementary and MS/HS).
The survey gave a favorable rating to the district for it’s handling and communication during the pandemic and the job performance of teachers and administration.
Based on community support and tax tolerance, the Facility Committee made the recommendation to move forward with the Review and Comment process for a two-building plan. The final decision will be made at the Dec. 21, 2020 meeting.
