In addition to these meetings, we met with faculty at each building at the end of May 2018, and the Facilities Advisory Community Team three times between June 2018, September 2018, and February 2019.
Our goals in these meetings were to:
[1] Review information and data.
[2] Work with our partners to develop possible solutions.
[3] Review the solutions against our four priority areas - Safety and Security, ADA compliance, Capital Maintenance, and Modern/Flexible learning environment.
[4] Gather stakeholder feedback on solutions, and then go back to the drawing board.
[5] Develop a mechanism to prioritize projects: review of responses from staff + survey of board member priorities.
[6] Refine project costs and identify financial guidelines
[7] Revisit priorities; develop three options to share with FACT.
Information/Data we have used in our decision-making includes:
● Master Facilities Needs Assessment
● Instructional Programming Vision
● Previous Referendum History and List of Projects
● High School Space Programming Assessment and Review (EUA)
● Discussions with building administrators
● Feedback from teachers/staff after presentations
Questions we considered in our deliberation:
[1] Can we confirm priorities of needs and assumptions?
[2] Are the projects in the right categories (maintenance, immediate capital project, or future capital project)?
[3] How do these projects fit within past referendum? What was the process for the past referendum?
[4] Are the spaces in the HS adequate to meet the instructional vision? Are there spaces that are under-utilized that can be re-purposed?
[5] Review “big picture” options developed by EUA. Do these solutions address the priorities of needs?
[6] Staff/community responses to big picture options: What did they like, what didn’t they like, and what was missing?
