Input Sought For District Feasibility Study

Lampeter-Strasburg School District school board members and administrators are seeking community members' opinions.

The district's leaders have been engaged in a feasibility study with architectural firm Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates to develop a long-range plan for district buildings. The study's intent is to determine how to best meet changing instructional needs while keeping safety and fiscal responsibility in sharp focus. Due to effective long-range planning and budgeting over the past several years, the school board and administrators consider it possible to implement all of the reccmmendations included in the feasibility study presentation in a fiscally responsible manner. The leadership believes that the recommendations, as proposed, could be implemented without impacting the district's existing millage rate for the purpose of any building renovations or projects.

The community engagement nights scheduled for March 31 and April 1 were canceled due to COVID-19 and mandated school closures throughout the state. However, community feedback and input remains an essential component of the study process. For this reason, a recorded presentation, written summary, and feedback form have been made available for public review at https://bit.ly/LSFStudy2020. Interested residents are asked to complete the form and submit it by Thursday, May 14.
