PROBLEM STATEMENT

Problem Statement written for the 2018 - 2019 Work:

The current process is a continuation of a long conversation between the School District, School Board and Community. IC3S is working to facilitate informed dialogue between the Community, the School District and the School Board in order to address pressing needs and long term stability for our school district and community. We need quantitative and objective data on the table in order to answer the questions of what financially solvent and sustainable options exist for Corbett School District and Corbett Community for short term building needs, and long term district planning.

The question guiding our work is:

How can we research and present sustaining and financially solvent options for Corbett School District and Corbett Community in a transparent and methodical way, while also addressing the pressing needs for school structures, maintenance and safe learning environments for students and staff in the near term?

Problem Statement for 2019 - 2020

We accomplished the goal of collecting quantitative and objective data with Rob Saxton’s report and analysis, along with his thoughtful qualitative data collection and evaluation. The question of what financially solvent and sustainable options exist for Corbett School District and Corbett Community for short term building needs, and long term district planning, is still a relevant question. Now we have information and new state funding available to the Corbett School District to inform decisions going forward.


The question that is now guiding our work is:

How can we support ongoing planning and decision making with the School Board, District Leadership and Corbett Community in a transparent, informed, inclusive and methodical ways, while also addressing the pressing needs for school structures, maintenance and safe learning environments for students and staff in the near term?
