Community Input Team members will be expected to participate in four Facilities Planning sessions, one joint Build & Become session with the Strategic Planning teams, and a facilities-learning experience.

Dates, times & locations are still being finalized, but meetings will take place on weekday evenings. 

Primary responsibilities:

• Learn about district facilities, programs, finances and long-range needs.
• Share experiences and perspectives from across the One91 community.
• Identify the values, priorities and criteria that should guide facility decisions.
• Consider the needs of students, staff, families and the broader community.
• Review facility approaches developed by the Design Team.
• Evaluate options, tradeoffs and community feedback.
• Recommend a preferred direction to district leadership and the School Board.

The Community Input Team does not:

• Develop detailed architectural solutions.
• Determine project costs independently.
• Select contractors or professional service providers.
• Make final district or referendum decisions.

Approximately 10–15 members appointed by district leadership.

Selection method: Design Team  members will be appointed by the District Leadership Team. Appointments will be made to provide the operational, educational, financial and community perspectives needed to develop feasible facility approaches. Two to four Design Team  members may also serve on the Community Input Team  to strengthen continuity between the teams.

Potential representation:

• Facilities and operations staff
• Finance or business-services staff
• Teaching and learning representative
• Special education or student-services representative
• School administrators
• Community education, athletics or activities representative
• Teachers or other school-based employees

Technical consultants may serve as resources without being counted as community decision-making members.

Primary responsibilities:

• Review facility condition, capacity, enrollment, program, operational and financial information.
• Develop and compare preliminary options.
• Identify dependencies, tradeoffs, risks and unanswered questions.
• Respond to feedback from the Input Team, the joint Build & Become session and the broader community.

The Design Team does not:

• Establish community priorities independently of the Input Team.
• Select a preferred direction before the Input Team has reviewed the alternatives.
• Make final recommendations to the Board without completing the agreed engagement process.

These are individuals, companies and organizations that may have technical expertise that is needed to support planning. 

Potential contributors:

• Architects and engineers
• Construction or cost-estimating professionals

• Provide reliable information and professional analysis.
• Test the feasibility of emerging ideas.
• Explain implications in accessible language.
• Respond to questions from Teams A and B.
• Identify regulatory, technical, financial or implementation constraints.

Technical partners inform the process; they do not determine the district’s values or preferred direction.

The broader One91 community will have opportunities to participate without serving on a formal planning team.

Potential engagement opportunities:

• Community survey
• School- or program-based conversations
• Staff engagement
• Student engagement
• Multilingual and culturally specific outreach
• Community presentations or open houses
• Online planning information and feedback
• Targeted conversations with underrepresented groups

Community feedback will be summarized and returned to the Input Team and the Design Team before final recommendations are completed.
