Elkhart Community Schools invites the public to a community meeting on Wednesday, September 14 at 6:30pm, at Elkhart High School, 2608 California Road, to share information about the district’s long-range feasibility/facility study being conducted in collaboration with School IQ and Sitelogiq, INC.

After an extensive search and interview process, Elkhart Community Schools selected School IQ/Sitelogiq to complete the study process. School IQ/Sitelogiq will provide the school district and the communities served by ECS with long-range educational planning services. These include a feasibility study, facility analysis, and demographic projections, all of which may potentially inform a new Strategic Plan for the district.

Specifically, Elkhart Community Schools wants to engage in a comprehensive review of both its facilities and its approach to educational programming. The school district’s goal is to provide its students with a well-rounded curriculum and to deliver that curriculum in school buildings that are educationally appropriate, functional, and energy efficient.  Doing so will allow the district to utilize its financial resources to better support the teaching and learning process as opposed to spending dollars on ever-increasing maintenance issues.

Sitelogiq has initiated the facility review process by sending a team of facility experts into the district to review, catalog, and identify all current building assets and assess the remaining life expectancy of the assets. When this process is completed, School IQ/Sitelogiq will recommend options for the district to consider as building needs become evident. In addition, School IQ/Sitelogiq is beginning to gather background information related to the feasibility portion of the process.

A community meeting to outline the feasibility/facility study process and answer questions is scheduled for Wednesday, September 14 at 6:30pm, at Elkhart High School (2608 California Road). Interpreters will be available.
