Charles City Schools host a community meeting tonight to review potential solutions to the high school facility needs.
Over the past several months, a community-driven task force has been evaluating needs at Charles City High School as part of the process to create a long-term facilities master plan. The task force seeks input from the community to determine how the district and Board of Education can best move forward with addressing these needs during tonight’s from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the High School cafeteria.
School Board President Pat Rottinghaus says, “Our community task force has done an outstanding job of examining our high school facility needs. Now, we aim to have an in-depth conversation with our residents to look at these issues and find a solution that makes the most sense for our entire school district community.”
Preliminary needs identified include spaces that support 21st-century learning, building accessibility, greater flexibility in classrooms, and air conditioning, among other items.
The meeting will also discuss results of a recent community-wide survey, through which 438 district residents provided input and feedback. 72% of survey respondents agree that the high school’s facility needs must be addressed soon.
