LWSD Facilities Planning Task Force seeks input on strategies and resource levels

Online survey and in-person meeting to gather community views
Redmond, Wash. – Lake Washington School District’s Long-Term Facilities Planning Task Force is asking the community for input on specific strategies and resource levels the district should use in its facilities planning. It has been working since December to find ways to address the district’s aging school facilities and its need for classroom space to serve a rapidly growing population.
Input is being gathered through an online open house June 9 to June 21. A survey on the open house site will be open through midnight on June 21.
A community open house will kick off this effort to gather input on Tuesday, June 9. That meeting will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the L.E. Scarr Resource Center, 16250 NE 74th St., Redmond. The Task Force will provide more information and answer questions. Community members will be able to take the survey as well as provide immediate feedback to task force members.
“The Task Force is looking at a variety of potential strategies,” noted Deputy Superintendent Janene Fogard. “It’s important for them to understand what the community is comfortable with given the varying resources implications, impacts, and tradeoffs of different strategies.”
The online open house is an ongoing opportunity to be part of the conversation about the district’s facilities challenges. It will continue to be updated at key milestones. The open house will stay online until the Task Force makes its final recommendation. That recommendation is expected in September 2015.
