Community Design Meetings
We're holding a series community design meetings throughout spring and early summer 2016 to collect input on school design and then present designs to the public. Project architects will lead the meetings and incorporate public feedback into initial designs. The result of this process will be a complete, high-level outline of the work to be done at each school. This plan will then be sent to the technical and engineering design process. Language interpreters will be available at each meeting. Details to be posted soon.
We would like you hear from you!
The community design meetings are how the community will:
- Provide Guidance On Design Decisions: Help shape the vision and goals for each project. Tell us what you would like to see!
- Communicate With the Project Team: Talk with the District project team and architects. Get answers to questions and provide your feedback.
- Keep Us On Track: The projects must remain true to the 2015 Bond Measure. Help us prioritize needs, evaluate initial designs and identify a preferred option.
