In determining next steps for the long-range facilities plan, the district included input from the community through a public forum and an online survey to see how it should move forward. The majority of respondents said the district should invest in its current facilities rather than spend money on new buildings. Extending the current operating tax levy will help create capital to complete those needed upgrades; a portion of those funds also can be put toward staff wages and benefits, to help recruit and retain the best employees to ensure a quality education.
