Building Snapshots

  • All data and analyses are summarized per school in a building snapshot. These snapshots capture a moment in time and will be continually evaluated as more information becomes available throughout this process. You can take a look at each school here.

Phase 1 Community Meeting

  • During Phase I, U-46 collected information along with our partner, DLR Group. The District gathered data, conducted analyses, and used surveys to better understand not only the physical condition U-46 schools, but also how well each school building and facility is serving the educational, emotional, social and engagement needs of our students, staff, families, and community members. Those Phase 1 results were shared in a virtual meeting with community members on Jan. 27, 2021. The meeting was recorded and can be watched below or directly on the U-46's YouTube channel.
