Types of Facility Issues to Be Addressed Repairs & Maintenance with a Focus on Safety & Security Schools that are safe, secure, comfortable, and structurally sound Appropriate Learning Environments Learning environments that prepare students for careers of 2021 & beyond
Why? Ide was built in 1970 and has significant repair issues Student activities at Ide (exercise/play during recess) have outgrown the building – no separate cafeteria/gym To align the physical learning environment with 21st century teaching practices To create more secure entrances at each of our three schools
Learning Environments for All Three Schools Learning environments that prepare students for careers of 2021 & beyond Collaborative spaces Flexible spaces Increased amount of natural daylight
Learning Environment Issues Being Addressed Outside the Referendum Learning environments that prepare students for careers of 2021 & beyond. These are being addressed over time via District 66 Master Appropriation Plan (non referendum funds) Personalized learning Flexible furniture STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Beyond the core subjects – foreign language, coding, and fine arts
Safety & Security at All Three Schools Schools that are safe and secure Traffic flow, bus lanes, and parking that protect students, staff, and families Increased off-street parking at Ide Secure entrances with window access for visitors for all three schools
