Themes of a 21st Century CHS

Where? Proactive: Programs driving facilities Off-site CSD (Reclaim, Construct, Intradistrict…) Off-site (Business campus, City campus…) On-site expansion (Portables, Remodel…) “Efficiency Programs” (Twilight School, Year- round or Summer School…) Passive: Facilities drive programs Stuck “in the box”

Some D in D questions for any program: Transportation How get teachers to main campus for PLC and staff m? Moving kids at lunchtime, assemblies, or to/from school? After-school activities – limitations or transportation and late kids? Other School lunches? Targeting specialty groups? Which staff would want to? Why couldn’t we just do that here on the main campus? What makes it so special that it needs to be in a separate space/time?
