LFC to launch community survey at Feb. 13 meeting

The Lay Facilities Committee (LFC) will hear an update from the sustainability work group and the community and buildings subcommittees at its meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 13. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of Roxboro Elementary School, 2405 Roxboro Road. The public is invited to attend.

The sustainability work group, led by LFC member Sam Bell, will give a report on its work.

Krissy Dietrich-Gallagher and Chyrel Oates, co-chairs of the community subcommittee, will present the final version of a community survey that the group will distribute online and in-person to district PTAs, as well as private and parochial schools, religious institutions, libraries and other venues. The survey examines both broad opinions about the public school buildings, as well as asks for opinions about specific scenarios, such as whether the district should reduce the number of middle schools to one or two.

The community is invited to complete the survey by Saturday, March 2.

The building subcommittee will give a brief presentation on some additional parameters the group wants the consultants to follow when costing out the facilities scenarios, as well as more detailed ideas about the high school renovation.

At the next LFC meeting, which is scheduled for March 6 at Canterbury Elementary School, the LFC is expected to consider public input from the survey and decide which of six scenarios to ask the consultants to cost.
