3 | 3/8/2020 11:16:38 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | If possible by code, eliminate hallways and expand rooms to increase department space. | 3rd floor addition HUGE cost, use the other doors to get outside, and declining enrollment | Use new lighting that simulates daylight. Persons in the classroom w/o windows a maximum 2 hours per day. No need to punch holes in walls. | ||||||
4 | 3/9/2020 13:19:51 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | Locker size | outdoor terrace, 3rd floor classrooms, excessive use of glass for inter-classroom visibility- makes for too many distractions for students. No definitive information on which subjects and classes utilize collaborative learning methods. Don't drive construction plans if BOE and Admin have not articulated when and where collaborative learning is used. | Life safety needs | ||||||
5 | 3/10/2020 9:37:39 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | furniture upgrades, transparency, acoustics | improve technology, lighting, size, HVAC improvements outlined. | |||||||
6 | 3/10/2020 9:48:14 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | Modular furniture with flexibility is a reasonable request and investment. | We need to start to remember this is a school and not a corporation or a college that demands very large tuitions. The funding comes from local tax dollars, not from corporate profits or tuition money. It would be great to provide metrics on the use of classrooms in the building to determine the need and value of redesigning or adding classrooms, such as the . number of classes by department per day, number of students per classroom, capacity of classrooms in use. This would help determine the need and value of the investment. The rooftop seating is common in for profit establishments and seems extreme for a school setting. There are other more cost effective ways to provide outdoor seating for education. | |||||||
7 | 3/10/2020 11:24:06 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Important to Keep the historical feel of the building. This space is not a modern building like Stevenson. It’s a different space altogether. Completely redoing all corridors, etc seems both outrageously expensive and out of place for the building. | Important to Stop thinking about putting carpet everywhere and keep the floors in tile. D67 replaced all carpeted areas with new laminate or tile flooring. Why would you want to add carpet only to have to rip it out in a few years like the 4 buildings in 67 did? If you’re really concerned about asthma and other allergies it is well-known that hard surfaces are more hypoallergenic. | Start the process of replacing the old, outdated furniture. The science classroom shown in the photo is one of the old rooms. You didn’t show the new Science classrooms with great flexible lab furniture. The Foundation has been instrumental in providing that type of furniture throughout the building and the school should partner with them to redo rooms. The Foundation just funded 20 new grants and frankly 75% of them seem like they are for items of lower priority than the learning spaces discussed here. | ||||||
8 | 3/10/2020 20:29:05 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Most everything. No major changes are needed | I’d stop foolish spending on wish list items like rooftop decks. Are hot tubs next? | I sensible plan should have been in place years ago, a living and breathing document which is revisited each year. Lay out future costs like HVAC replacement and repairs and match those costs to the year matching the useful life of things like air handlers. Upgrading to more cost effecting lighting makes sense too. | ||||||
9 | 3/11/2020 11:16:56 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | Keep the current classroom sizes. With enrollment several hundred less than when the last addition was made, perhaps the school can find extra space to use for small group breakouts - or can keep class size the "right" size for the classroom? Technology: It was my understanding with the last referendum/addition that all classrooms were equipped with the "latest technology" Please provide rationale for newer/different technology in every room as I thought this was addressed 12 years ago. Technology keeps changing and is virtually impossible to keep up. Clarify what's proposed, why it enhances education and how it will be a good investment. How is current technology being used? Which teachers would teach differently given different equipment? Whats the anticipated return on value? What training is required if changes are made? What additional staff/resources will be needed to train, maintain, stay current, etc? The real world does not have the latest and greatest and maybe we don't need to be chasing this to be excellent (already are). Before throwing money to upgrade everything make sure there is a reason as it sounds like the last time the latest and greatest was added it did not end up being used. | The concept of a rooftop terrace for outdoor learning, while nice, doesn't make sense in this climate: cost/benefit not justifiable. Flat roofs are problematic and costly to maintain. Unless the school has an abundance of money in reserves, adding on should be out of the question. I don't buy into the fact that our students are not getting an outstanding education or that they cannot learn in the existing spaces. Enrollment is down 200 from what the recent addition was built out to accommodate. | Start changing out old furniture with the modular furniture - replace worst first and prioritize based on subjects where the greatest utility is gained by this change. If existing movable furniture is hard to move, add casters - it is not clear that everything needs replacing and ideally the school budget includes maintenance and replacement of furniture? Whats the data on which classes/how many would "benefit" from modular furniture? How frequently would classrooms be reconfigured? What Technology: If rooms are not equipped with wifi, work on adding that. Add additional electrical outlets, as needed. Mobile technology that can be shared among classrooms is a good idea. Bringing additional light into interior spaces is an interesting concept as long as windows don't create glare and result in closing the blinds. I don't understand switching lockers and whether you lose functionality - it seems like this is problematic, adds cost and the loss in height would require increase in width which would create space issues. If feasible cost-wise (without increasing taxes) couldn't windows be added above the existing lockers? Clarify the what, why, how and costs associated with utilizing corridors for breakout rooms, collaborative spaces, etc. Do students currently have free access to hallways at any time? If not, and this concept moved forward, what additional staff resources would be required to monitor the hallways? If yes, what additional costs are associated with this long term? For everything proposed there seems to be a lack of data/metrics to support the decisions. Many seem subjective and trendy. Fine until the next trend ... Start getting good, objective information to support wants. Keeping up with the Jones (New Trier and Stevenson) is not that. Movable walls in rooms that are big enough to accommodate different configurations sound like a doable way to adjust classroom size. | ||||||
10 | 3/12/2020 13:31:03 | Families with Students in Grades PreK-8 | Updating classrooms like the business incubator, flexible furniture, expanded white boards, collaborative setup | stop using outdated fluorescent lighting, stop regulating temperatures with books on vents, stop having students working on the floor in the hallways | double pane the windows, secure the building, lower the lockers, open all classrooms to natural light | ||||||
11 | 3/12/2020 13:56:57 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | KEEP the current classrooms. Your students are achieving! | Keep things where they are. You provide NO evidence that your proposed changes will improve student learning | How about rein in your spending? | ||||||
12 | 3/12/2020 14:56:13 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | Hallways | Outdoor Rooftop/Third-floor Additions | Furniture & Flexibility/TechnologyWindows & Lighting/Hvac | ||||||
13 | 3/13/2020 8:14:05 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | There is no need for more furniture or this type of classroom investment at this time. We need investments that PROVE endanger learning experiences thru FACTS and data. | Wasting our tax payer dollars on fluff and things that do not increase the learning abilities of our children. Now is not the time | An investment in cutting edge top of the state departments in math and STEM. Not paint | ||||||
14 | 3/13/2020 9:16:47 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | This is unnecessary spending. Our student population is shrinking. Also i have kids in BOTH high school and pre-K-8. Keep all as is. Focus on repurposing West campus. Move admin who need much less space and open west campus up to collaboration with City of Lake Forest. Desks as is have worked very well for centuries and around the world. Furniture re configuration is a silly and excessive waste of time and money. Let’s save our $ for when we really might need it!!!! | Don’t do any of these proposed classroom and furniture changes. Upgrade items like thermostats and make modest adjustments to infrastructure as needed to be more energy efficient. Stop focusing on East campus. Enrollment is shrinking. Figure out how to drastically improve utilization of west campus or eliminate some of its burdensome cost. Administrators could find a space a quarter the size and safe significant dollars and then open up athletic facilities to a collaborative partnership with city parks and Rec. | Save our money. Avoid wasteful spending such as illustrated in these changes | ||||||
15 | 3/13/2020 14:59:14 | Families with NO Students in Grades PreK-12 | The school facility seems well maintained. | Keep tax assessment at a reasonable level. As a retiree my property tax bill is one of my largest annual expenses and a potential reason for leave the district. I also believe the high property tax rates are keeping people from moving into the district. | Provide a full plan for capital spending and proposed funding sources. | ||||||
16 | 3/16/2020 14:34:46 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Stop reinventing the wheel and teach the students. Stop spending money you don't have to spend. This is absurd. | See above | Start getting your head out of your ass: we don't have the money for this and our population is declining. Stop the experiments. | ||||||
17 | 3/16/2020 14:42:54 | Families with Students in Grades PreK-8 | This survey is very flawed as it can be taken by one person at multiple locations and/or IP addresses. So the survey is just more bullshit window dressing from an administration that serves itself, not its students and certainly not parents or taxpayers! How much is this survey costing? | I think the Superintendent should STOP, resign and leave our community alone. | Start the search for another Superintendent who is not a congenital liar. | ||||||
18 | 4/9/2020 22:38:47 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Keep everything suggested in this video. The current facilities are an embarrassment and the same as when my wife and her friends attended. Imagine the students coming from a modern D67 to these archaic classrooms. | Do all the improvements suggested in this video. | ALL OF IT! | ||||||
19 | 4/10/2020 9:12:44 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Solar panels and rooftop gardens | Vers worried abort the artificial turf. Studies ondicate heightened cancer risk for athletes and Pro players Are sich as us womans Soccer team has outspokenly ruges to stop the, as they are associated with higher accident rates. Why would you endanger our children? | More emphasis on sustainability | ||||||
20 | 4/10/2020 9:52:01 | Families with Students in Grades PreK-8 | pushing forward | nothing | these potential projects look great, let's go! | ||||||
21 | 4/10/2020 11:43:55 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | The ability for students to strive and keep stretching to tougher classes tailored to their interests, ability and drive | Teachers that do not keep their end of the bargain by not being responsive to students | More support groups for students that allow them to meet with counselors and academic advisors who can help them adjust and improve as they get into classes and progress throughout the year. | ||||||
22 | 4/10/2020 12:36:12 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Outdoor learning spaces | add greenhouse on roof so horticulture or enviro club can seed and cultivate plants and have plant sales. Other area schools have this as they say they are developing future food scientists | |||||||
23 | 4/10/2020 12:45:49 | Families with Students in Grades PreK-8 | The current room size, acoustics, furniture, transparency, HVAC | Changes that would create greater Transparency into Classrooms (more distractions). | LED lighting, Technology in the classroom | ||||||
24 | 4/10/2020 14:48:37 | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | The new furniture and better lighting would be wonderful. Getting light into the corridors and creating wide spaces for collaboration would be nice. Larger classrooms makes for more flexibility. | Very concerned about adding onto the school again when enrollments are dropping quickly. Shorter lockers don't seem to be a great choice as students already cannot get winter coats, sports gear, or larger backpacks into the existing ones. | The lighting, new mobile furniture, and revamping some classroom spaces. | ||||||
25 | 03/06/2020 2:02 PM | Families with Students in Grades 9-12 | Please keep current "transparency" -- I am scared that you want to add windows to hallways because a shooter will be able to see so many children as targets that way. Also classrooms are distracting enough without adding in distractions from the hallways.Also, I see the desire for flexible chairs. My son finds these chairs highly distracting because classmates are bouncing, making noise, and being visually distracting. So please consider which classrooms should have traditional stationary furniture - for example, classes where reading and concentration are necessary. I guess I also don't understand the need to make a big community request for new chairs. Is the current budget inadequate to implement a plan to replace worn-out furniture on a gradual, rotation basis? | Definitely change out the fluorescent lighting, both to get better lighting and save money.Re: class size, this needs further consideration in light of declining enrollment. Some classes are better in a smaller room - are we making the best use of the space we have? Is there anything we can use West Campus for? Our school is beautiful and is a great size for our community. I don't see a need to make major structural changes. | You have so much focus on collaboration, but what my children want are spaces for quiet individual study. There is nowhere to go for quiet solo study. I think you are actually on the wrong end of the collaboration/open office trend. People don't like it because they can't think and are not productive. Workers in open offices end up wearing headphones or working in their cars to get away from the noise and distractions. I want my children to learn to sit & focus. Given the multitude of screens and entertainment options in their lives, they are distracted and not focused. They already know how to chat with, have fun with, and collaborate with peers. They don't have skills of lengthy focused study that are necessary in college in many fields. | ||||||
