The district’s Design Guidance Teams recently completed their work to develop district-wide design principles that will be considered for all projects included in the bond program. With the finalization of these principles and the technical standards developed by staff and technical experts, we are nearing the completion of the pre-design process. In addition to educational specifications developed by district staff, these design principles will be used by the Design Advisory Committees at each school.
