District considers options for facilities to handle future growth

The District is updating its 10-year Long-Range Facility Plan with the assistance of community input.

Last fall, the District contracted the services of a demographer to assist with growth projections for the community. The planning process during fall and winter focused on data collection and analysis with a small planning committee.

During February and March, District leaders began presenting the findings to staff, parent and community groups. Two public presentations were held earlier this week.

If you were unable to attend a community meeting, you can review the information in the presentation below. The i nformation includes current enrollment numbers, growth estimates, and facility capacities. Learn how the District uses that data to plan for the future. After viewing the presentation, please share your input in a survey about planning priorities.
