Survey I “Introduction”

ü More than 750 parents and 600+ staff and teachers ü Nearly 60 percent of respondents believe current facilities will not support future educational needs and more than 65 percent believe facilities are not sufficiently updated or modernized. ü Over 90 percent of respondents agree that learning needs are different today than they were when most facilities were built. 90 percent also understand that technology and innovation will impact future resource and facilities needs. ü Top priorities indicated by respondents include providing equitable high-quality learning environments, as well as collaborative and innovative schools. ü We’ve collected thousands of comments about the greatest strengths, opportunities, and challenges in St. Joseph right now. Many comments provide insight into the pride people feel for their community, and a willingness to explore change to upgrade facilities and meet the evolving needs

  • f students.

We received more than 1,500 responses to our first online survey, which helped to provide us with an initial understanding of the state of the district.

ü More than 500 parents and 200 staff and teachers ü Ensuring that school environments are Forward Looking/Future Ready was a clear top priority for respondents. We received more than 700 responses to our second survey, which helps us to further identify areas of potential priority for the Master Facilities Plan and refine our understanding about the current state of SJSD schools.

listen.DESIGN.deliver Communication and Transparency: There was a consistent call for focusing on

  • pen and transparent communication

and fiscal responsibility related to all district work. 21st Century Learning: Ideas frequently cited modernized facilities and access to technology, as well as the development

  • f collaborative learning spaces

(including common areas, outdoor learning spaces, and “incubators” for hands-on learning. Middle School Model: Many comments referenced the need for realignment at the middle school level to accommodate a 6-8 grade center model. CTE Opportunities: Many respondents favored increased focus on career and technical education opportunities, including defined career “tracks” in high school, specialized curricula focused on life, technology, and trade skills, and increased community partnerships.

  • St. Joseph School District

Outline for Small Group Discussions § Introductions. § Share your name, role(s) in the community § Icebreaker § We will discuss four concepts. Your small group facilitator will provide an overview of each concept. § Discussions will cover the following questions:

  • What are your initial impressions of this concept? (Be specific.)
  • What are the opportunities you foresee with this concept?
  • What are the challenges you foresee with this concept?
  • What would be the impact of this concept on St. Joseph’s community narrative?

§ Notetaking.

  • Each group will have a notetaker who records key insights on an easel pad.
  • We also ask that you help us record notes using the notetaking worksheet we provide.

Remember: There are no “answers” yet. The information and ideas we discuss today will inform further engagement and refinement of ideas that “stick.”

Ground Rules for Small Group Discussions § Defer Initial Judgments. If you don’t like a concept, be specific in your feedback: “I don’t like the idea of closing this school because…” § Build on Each Other. Try not to outright disagree. Use “and” instead of “but.” § Raise Ideas and Hypotheticals. Rather than asking for validation that something can “work” from the facilitator, put the idea out there so it can be recorded and explored by the planning team. § Stay Focused on the Concept. There will be more opportunities for deeper discussion on the ideas that float to the top. § Focus on Quantity. Let’s think of as many opportunities, challenges and impacts as we can for each concept. § Avoid Distractions. Try to keep side conversations to a minimum (voice your ideas to the group), and silence your phones. § There Are No Concrete Plans Yet. These are initial concepts for feedback based on the facilities and capacity/enrollment assessments. Nothing is definitely “on” or “off” the table at this point. Today is not about “planning” specific actions.

Imagine St. Joseph 2040 Theme: Invest in People There are several education-related goals in the Imagine 2040 plan, led by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of Greater St.

  • Joseph. We encourage you to keep in mind the following two goals as you

consider “big ideas” for the future of St. Joseph schools. § The community understands the importance of investing in local education and builds a case to fund the local School District at levels that create innovative learning environments and provide instructional resources that lead to awarding-winning schools. § Our award-winning public and private schools focus on career-based skills, post-secondary preparation and alignment with current and future

  • jobs. The program builds on the future approach of incorporating

stackable credentials beginning in high school and through post- secondary education.
