Background:
|
The High School Project began in the summer of 2018 and has progressed steadily throughout the past year. On January 24, 2019, the School Board voted to continue high school project work with a focus on several priorities and a commitment to a multi-option evaluation process. On August 22, 2019, the School Board had a work session which focused on the Educational Design Team’s models of what a two high schools model or connected high school network could look like, as well as a preliminary discussion on the site analysis.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends the School Board review all of the attachments and prepare for an engaging discussion at the work session and in preparation for the September 26, 2019 vote. As discussed at the September 5th work session, the School Board will not vote on the educational programming; however, the School Board vote at the September 26th meeting will include:
1. the selection of one high school (connected high school network) or two high school model
2. the sites to be pursued based on the selected model
The School Board will also provide feedback on the Educational Design Team’s educational programming approaches and offer any input on preferred attributes.
