•  We have only completed Phase I and are currently engaging in our second meeting of Phase II with your help.

Facts

Facility Task Force Work Thus Far

•  Screened all applicants and helped the district hire a Professional Educational Facility Planner to engage our community in a District Facility Planning Process.

•  Helped us design the process for community outreach as well as provide feedback on the process and timeline of meetings.

•  Reviewed the outcomes of the facility assessments conducted by HPG, OFCC, and K-12 Solutions.

•  Will continue to serve as a working committee providing us direct feedback throughout the process.

•  Will help us decide on next steps with regard to our new facility planner.

Assumptions for Facility Planning Process

•  Safe, modern, and efficient school buildings are important to student success. Given our proud tradition of excellence in the classroom, our current facilities are proving to be a challenge in our ability to provide a 21st Century education for our students.


•  Within the last year, the district engaged HPG to analyze the efficiency of our school buildings from a financial, educational, and safety standpoint (such as ADA compliance). This assessment has been completed.

•  We discovered that as our facilities age, they are becoming less efficient and more costly for taxpayers to maintain especially in areas such as heating, cooling, and plumbing. Many of these systems are well beyond their useful lives. Our schools range from 50 to nearly 100 years old and were not built with today’s learning in mind.


•  The goal is to determine if our school buildings are up to standards when it comes to student learning, safety, and efficiency.

•  It is important to recognize that our existing buildings possess great beauty and cultural significance that add to our community and to the rich history and legacy of Grandview Heights Schools.


•  Over a century ago, Grandview Heights Schools’ residents came together and made an important investment in our schools and is it now our turn? This process will shape the future of our schools for generations to come.

•  Please know that we plan to explore ALL OPTIONS AND NO DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME.

•  PROCESS, PROCESS, PROCESS.


•  We have created a dedicated page on the district website with all of the Facility Task Force meeting agendas, HPG facility assessments, district communications, and facility community meeting calendar. We will update this page throughout the process.

•  We will video-tape all community facility events including this meeting.

•  We have a “new” FAQ based on the questions and feedback that came from our last Community Wide Facility Planning Process.

•  We have a “new” spreadsheet that accounts for all expenditures of the Permanent Improvement (PI) budget for the last 5 years.
