Thank you, Community Task Force members
For five months this year, 30 members of the Community Task Force on Facilties reviewed the state of Springfield schools. Their work culminated in recommendations for districtwide facility improvements.
“We are honored that this group of citizens invested their time and service in this important work,” said Jill Patterson, president of the SPS Board of Education. “The Board of Education thanks them for their dedication to our 25,000 students and 4,000 employees.”
The group of 30 stakeholders included parents, teachers, employees and business leaders representing all five high school feeder patterns. Together, they met multiple times in public meeting to discuss their findings, as well as review extensive facility information and tour schools.
