  • Board approved the committee's recommendation for 2023-24

C. Discussion:
 Three year Plan ~ work to finalize

•  Discussion from the previous meeting
  • Table 1 - Adding on to the other schools is the most intentional decision to continue to build trust within the community.
  • Table 2 - If we add on, how long would these additions last before we have to go back to the patrons and ask for a full bond to build a new school?Can we come back with projections and make sure the additions will tide us over for long enough/ years before having to go back to the patrons asking for another bond to build a new school?
  • Group voted to wait until April to take our recommendation to the Board. 
  • How many Kids that are zoned for Lakeland and we have lost to CDA will be coming back? Will this affect our number projections? 
  • What does our community want in regards to our facilities? Do we run a small bond and add additions on to a couple of schools or run a bigger bond to build a new school? A survey?
•  Enrollment Projection Cohort Model 2023-24
•  Send the survey out after May 16th. Say we would like to get more feedback from you on what you would like to see in the future for Lakeland. Thank you for your support,and in order to keep these ideas rolling...
  •  We need to figure out a survey to send out to the community to see how they are feeling. What do they want to see done?
  •  Ask the community what their vision is. Keep it to 5 questions. Prioritize the questions.
  •  Ask the community if they want us to still run small neighborhood schools? And then let the community know the outcome.
  •  Keep it simple, yes or no questions on the survey.
  • What do they want the class sizes to be?
•  Strategic Plan
