Design Guidance Teams
Nearly 80 individuals representing staff, parent/guardians, and community members attended the first Design Guidance Team meeting on October 24 at the Western View Center. Teams are divided into four topic areas, including Health & Wellness, Operations, Teaching & Learning, and Safety. District leaders and architects facilitated the discussions in these four areas to begin to prioritize district-wide standards.
We are grateful for the thoughtful participation and look forward to continuing the planning process in November! The next meeting will take place on November 7 at the Western View Center.
A community listening and learning meeting will take place on November 19 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm at Lincoln Elementary to review the progress to date of the Design Guidance Teams and gather more input from the community at large. Childcare and translators will be available.
