  • Leadership Team: Guides the process for communications, timelines, meetings, etc. 

  • Design Team: Experts working on potential construction plans, costs and site requirements.

  • Steering Committee: Administrators who review all input to make a final recommendation to the Superintendent.

  • Task Force: Staff and community members who serve as an advisory and input group for the Steering Committee.

  • Advisory Groups: Established district advisory groups that provide additional feedback to the Steering Committee.
