We invite the school community to attend the capital planning open house on
Monday, May 1, from 6–8 p.m. at the Davis Center.
At this meeting, we will
provide information about construction projects in many of our schools that the
district will begin to work on designing next year. These projects are
prioritized based on immediate safety and security needs of our buildings and
are remaining projects from our previous five-year plan.
Most of the work will
include completing necessary improvements to our heating, ventilation, cooling,
and air conditioning systems, maintaining the physical structures (such as
roofing, electricity, and other painting), and updating kitchens and other
facilities to meet state requirements.
This
one-year plan has been established based on a set of criteria that we will
explain at the open house. Because we engaged in significant community
engagement in building the previous five-year plan and we will not be adding or
changing projects for this one-year plan, we are not seeking public feedback.
We will have several community engagement sessions and committees comprised of
multiple stakeholders of students, staff and parents who will inform the next
one - year capital plan for FY 19 bonding and the five-year capital improvement
plan starting in the 2020-24 school year.
We hope to
see you at the open house to learn more! Attached is a flier you can post in
your school (translations to follow), and below is some e-newsletter content
you can use to share information about the event.
Please
contact Candee Lovell (612.668.0395) if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Karen DeVet
Chief Operations Officer
Minneapolis Public Schools
