School Facilities Chosen as Moscow Civic Association Meeting Topic

 

A discussion of Moscow School District construction and remodeling options will be the focus of the Moscow Civic Association (MCA) public forum on Monday, January 10, at 7pm at the 1912 Building. Everyone is invited to bring questions and concerns to the discussion panel which will represent various perspectives on the facilities issue, said Lois Blackburn, MCA president. 

For many months, a Facilities Committee established by the Board of the Moscow School District has been analyzing the current school buildings, soliciting community input, and studying possible options. The committee, moving closer to some final decisions, anticipates a bond election in April to fund whatever restoration or construction is chosen.

The MCA meeting will open with a ten-minute power-point presentation by J.D. Wulfhorst and Lori Maxwell, two representatives from the District Facilities Committee. 

This report will be followed by a panel of speakers representing varying points of view about facilities needs and options. The panel will include: 

-Jack Porter, representing Friends of Neighborhood Schools, supporting the remodeling of existing schools. 

-Susan Mahoney, parent of Moscow students, supporting the construction of a new high school

-Chris Dennis, recent graduate of Moscow High School 

A facilitated question-and-answer period, based on written questions submitted by audience members, will follow the presentations. 

All community members who wish to hear more information on which to base personal decisions on the bond election are urged to attend.

The presentations will begin at 7:30pm. The doors will open at 7pm to encourage those attending to read available informational handouts and write out their questions on cards for submission to the facilitator.

The Moscow Civic Association is a non-profit citizen's organization that strives to improve the quality of life for Moscow residents.  The school facilities topic was chosen to further the mission of Moscow Civic Association, which is to inform community members about important local issues and encourage civic participation.
