High School Task Force members to tour schools

School board member and High School Facilities Task Force Co-Chair Cindy Meyer briefed her fellow school board members on progress made by the recently formed action group.

Meyer reported the task force met in June and will meet again September 27. They are also scheduled to take a three hour tour of Wa-Hi and Lincoln High School prior to this months meeting.

Meyer said the district has assembled a dynamic group of Walla Walla leaders to help study district high school needs and issues. She said this groups interests, passions, and expertise will provide key insight to this study.

The work of the High School Facilities Task Force will be organized into three phases. First, the group will answer the question -- "What is?" Next, they will reflect on -- "What Should Be?" in relation to a successful high school experience. The group will then determine the best strategies for narrowing the difference in Walla Walla. Staff and public input will be gathered along the way as the group completes its work.

Recommendations will then go to the school board for consideration and possible action plans.
