District Holds Long-Range Planning Meetings
August 31, 2010
The Spring Hill Board of Education scheduled a series of planning meetings designed to update the Spring Hill School District’s facility master plan based on the most recent enrollment study. This new study, along with future growth studies from the Cities of Spring Hill, Olathe, Overland Park and the unincorporated areas of Johnson and Miami Counties that make up the Spring Hill School District, will form the basis of information needed to plan ahead. The next meeting will be held on Oct. 4th.
“From planning to implementation for schools, it takes several years to complete so it is important that we update the master plan now,” said Dr. Bart Goering, superintendent of schools. “Smart, detailed planning is critical to the decision-making process, especially since the district is dealing with our children’s and communities’ futures.”
A mix of community members, parents, school representatives and more has been invited to help update the district's master plan, which will ensure students have the resources that they need to succeed. The committee is focusing on four key areas: 1) deferred maintenance items; 2) technology infrastructure, tools, and software; 3) classroom space needs; and 4) budget and cost implications.
Goering noted that the long-range planning process is really about what the district needs to do to ensure students have the things they need to design their own future.
