The school division has tabulated those results and invites the community to now weigh in on four possible scenarios regarding which schools should be next and when those modernizations or replacements might occur.<\/p>\n<p>Weigh in by taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/VBCPS_CD2\">this survey<\/a> or attending community meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The meetings will be held March 7 at Old Donation School; March 8 at Tallwood High School; March 14 at Kellam High School; and March 15 at Great Neck Middle School. Each meeting will be from 6-7:30 p.m. and information shared at each meeting will be the same.<\/p>\n<p>At these meetings, attendees will learn which 15 schools, based on age, physical condition and type of building, are the next candidates for modernization or replacement. These three factors are what the community, through the survey, deemed as the most important criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees will also learn more about the current funding for the division\u2019s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and weigh in on potential funding scenarios for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Long-Range Facilities Master Plan Steering Committee, which is comprised of students, school division administrators, city leaders and community organizations as well as representatives from Cooperative Strategies, the professional demographics firm assisting with this planning, will be present at all community meetings to help answer any questions.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the process, visit the school division\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vbschools.com\/administration\/long_range_plan\/\">Long-Range Facilities Master Plan page<\/a> on vbschools.com.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last fall, more than 3,500 students, staff and community members weighed in on criteria that will determine the future of school modernization and replacements.
