High School Facilities Task Force continues to seek answers

Members of the High School Facilities Task Force met Thursday evening to continue a community-based study of high school options for the future. Last month task force members were divided into subcommittees to research future College Place high school possibilities, district maintenance records, safety and how facilities impact learning.

During Thursday's meeting subcommittee leaders reported summary findings from their research. These reports are now being compiled and organized for public view by High School Facilities Task Force co-chairs Cindy Meyer and John Rowley. Look for these reports later this school year.
