Rob Saxton Presentations

Invitation Announcement Feb & March 2019

We invite and encourage you to attend one of the following presentations. Independent consultant, Rob Saxton, has completed his Scope of Work and is ready to deliver his report and recommendations for the Corbett School District and Community. Since September, Mr. Saxton has performed an independent review gathering information pertinent to district finances, programming and quality. The presentations will be a culmination of his work and mark the completion of his contract. The information presented will provide a platform to discuss what next steps to take as a School District and Community. In addition, it will advise how to continue this collaborative effort in order to best serve and support the needs of students, district staff, school facilities and community members at large.

There were 3 informational meetings scheduled: Feb. 25, Feb. 26 and March 8. Due to campus closures and the need to present to the School Board before the community meetings, the Feb. 25th and 26th meetings were cancelled. There are now two informational meetings where Mr. Saxton will present his report and recommendations. Each presentation will present the full content and full list of recommendations, the presentations are not sequential in content. Multiple presentation dates and times were set in an effort to give people multiple options to attend. The presentations will now be held on:


    • Thursday, March 7th at 7pm - Special Board Meeting at the school Main Campus - Multi Purpose Building, Rob Saxton will present his report to the Corbett School Board. Public is welcome to attend.


    • Friday, March 8th at 7pm at the Corbett Community Church, Rob Saxton will present his report to the community at large.

The full report will be made available to the public on this website on the evening of March 7th. A video recording of the March 7th meeting will also be made available on the IC3S website.

Mr. Saxton made it clear in his request to the Board in January that the report and presentation be given at the same time to all parties involved. The School Board agreed to his request, and thus all parties (including District Administration, Staff, Board Members and IC3S) will see and hear the report information for the first time on Thursday, March 7th at the Special Board Meeting. Mr. Saxton did let us know that the report is 50 pages in length. Due to printing costs, we will not be providing printed copies for audience members at this meeting. The report will be available for viewing online.

Mr. Saxton has taken great care and interest in this review process. His report and presentation will be focused on the efficiency, efficacy, economy of scale (sustainable sizing), and recommendations for district financial planning and programming. IC3S has served as the independent and voluntary Project Managers for this process and Scope of Work. The District has served as the Contract Managers, and the School Board has overseen the process and working relationships. ( See Roles & Responsibilities for more detail)

IC3S group members - Mikaila Way, Jeff Aho, Brad Garrett, Cless Woodward, Andrew Kurkinen along with Mr. Saxton appreciate the School Board and Corbett District administration and staff for their collaboration. Additionally, we'd like to express our sincere thanks to the Corbett community members and school families for their support and participation thus far in meetings, surveys and input. We hope you will join us on March 7th or 8th to hear the results of Mr. Saxton's work. Please stay engaged with future conversation and collaboration regarding these critical decisions for our School District and Community.
