Understanding that a school district is a direct reflection of the community it serves, the Mesick Consolidated Schools is committed to a facility planning strategy that reflects the priorities of the taxpayers and meets the needs of our students and communities.

Planning for the Future of Mesick Consolidated Schools

Mesick Consolidated Schools is committed to a facility planning strategy that reflects the priorities of our taxpayers and meets the needs of our students and community.

Our district has launched a community-led facility planning process to assess our buildings, explore future needs, and develop a long-term plan that supports student success and community growth.

About the Facility Planning Process

Mesick Consolidated Schools has begun a community-driven facility planning process to look closely at the future of our schools. This process includes gathering input, studying data, and evaluating options for how to best serve our students now and into the future.

The process includes:

Community Input: A districtwide survey invited residents, families, staff, and students to share their perspectives.
Task Force Study: A Community Task Force of parents, staff, students, and residents is meeting to review data, explore facility needs, and discuss priorities.
Board Consideration: The Task Force’s findings and recommendations will be presented to the Board of Education to help guide next steps.

Community Task Force

The Mesick Schools Community Task Force is made up of parents, students, staff, and community members who are working together to study the district’s facility needs in depth.

This group meets regularly to review facility data, assess needs, and discuss options. Their role is to provide input and guidance so that the Board of Education can make informed decisions that reflect community values and priorities.

The Task Force’s work will help shape a long-term facility plan that ensures safe, efficient, and future-ready learning environments for all students.

Community Survey

Thank you to everyone who took part in our districtwide Facility Planning Survey!

The survey was shared broadly with our community through postcards mailed to all residents, as well as on social media, district websites, and through email communications. This ensured that everyone had an opportunity to share their thoughts and help shape the future of Mesick Consolidated Schools.

The feedback we received will help guide the Community Task Force’s discussions and ensure that our future facility plans reflect the priorities of our entire Mesick community.

Survey results will be summarized and shared on this website once the data has been reviewed.
