The DeForest Area School District’s Board of Education has a long tradition of providing the public an opportunity to participate in a process of thinking and planning for the future of the school district.
Enrollment in our school district continues to steadily increase, due in part to strong economic growth and ongoing residential development. This creates some welcomed challenges, including long-term facility planning, to ensure our students have innovative and supportive learning spaces and top-notch facilities for our outstanding instructional and extra-curricular programs.
Informational sessions were held in early August for residents to learn more about the district and the intended long-range facility planning process. Feedback was collected through an online reactions, considerations, and questions survey.
Community Advisory Committee convenes in August 2018
The school board and district leadership engaged community stakeholders in assessing the district’s facility needs, evaluating enrollment growth, and planning a long-term vision for district facilities. A Community Advisory Committee was formed in August to assist in developing recommendations for a long-term district facilities plan.
The committee met nine times between August and January (6:00-8:30 pm) at the DeForest Area Public Library. Those not on the committee were invited to observe meetings.
