Dear Facility Advisory Committee Member,
As valued participants throughout District 112's Master Facility Planning process, you 'l, mow that
the timeline anticipated School Board adoption of a Master Plan for the year 2014 in June 2002.
This letter and enclosures ~vill bring you up to date on activities that have continued since you last
met and provided input on April 8:
.... . .
· . . -
·
· Usin~ your input from April 8, community input, 6AREi reseat:ch, and demographic
projections, two draft Facility Plan Models ('white' and 'green') ';*:ere shared at a large
Community Meeting on April 23 to receive feedback 'from a cross-section of stakeholders.
Essentially, the tv,,o nqodels differ in how middle and high school levels are addressed; early
childhood and elementary levels are the same in both.
, Summaries of input from April 23 have been shared with the School Board and
Administrative Team who have continued tO refine facility plan models.
· P, ased on input from April 23, revisions were made to .boil; the 'white' and 'green' models
and pr3:;ented to the School Board during a work session on May 2 (copies enclosed).
· After lengthy discussion, the Board determined that it needed more. time to study options at
the secondary level, especially ways to configure high school.
· Durin~ their regular ,,'via)' 9 meeting, the Board directed the Adn-dnistration to prepare a
revise~ process and timeline to be presented to the Board later this spring.
· Due to the new timeline, Public Hearings on the, Master Facility Plan, originally scheduled
for May 20 and 22, have been cancelled.
With an extended process and timeline, a Master Facility Plan will not be adopted in June as
originaliS, scheduled. My highest pri0rity'is to bring forward a Master FaCility Plan that.
represents well the community's preferred future for learners and that is also fiscally responsible.
It is likely that District 112 will take several more months to accomp.lish this with the
community's help. For information about new developments, please check our web-site at
district l 12.or_o or contact Betsy Chase, Director Of Planning & Organizational Improvement, at
952-556-6241.
Again, my gratitude for your time and deep thinking about future facilities that will advance
District 112's mission: To prepare all learners to achieve their personal best.
Sincerely,
.-
Bev Stofferahn

FACILITY PLAN ASSUMPTIONS -GREEN MODEL
Short-term, creative solutions will be needed at both the elementary and high
school.levels to acc(~mmodate student enrollment prior to opening new schools in
2005, 2006 and 2007.
Grade organization within each seCondary level needs to be determined; there are
several options for organizing within grades 6-9 and 10-12. In the process of
moving toward optimum grade organization by 2014, other grade configurations
will be used to adjust for ever-changing student populations and to provide the
best learning environment available every year.
Targets for the year 2014 reduce class size by 2 in grades 4 - 8.
The community's desire for smaller class sizes results in lower building
