FENTON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 100 Agenda: Introductions Phase 1 Video Recap Phase 2 Presentation Ranking Feedback Form Tour of the building Adjournment
PHASE 1 VIDEO RECAP
Community Engagement This process is broken down into 4 separate phases. In each phase, we will be receiving feedback directly from the community which drives the next phase and ultimately any final decisions made.
Phase 1 Summary (September – November) During Phase 1, we asked the community: • What is the district doing well? • What challenges do we face? • What is desired for the future? The responses from Phase 1 and the data collected in the Facility Assessment were grouped into a “menu” of potential individual projects, infrastructure solutions, and funding levels.
Phase 2 (November – January) Your responses are driving this process. We will discuss these solutions in great detail these next three months. During Phase 2, we will host 5 public engagement sessions, execute a scientific phone survey, and actively gather responses from the community via as many platforms as possible.
