Community Task Force

Recommendation: Invest in current buildings

The WAPS Community Task Force — which included both district staff and community residents — has recommended a plan that would see the district continue to invest and improve the current fleet of buildings.

The task force met 10 times over the course of four months and vetted 12 different options — new construction, consolidating buildings, changing grade-level configurations and various combinations — before coming back to Option A.
