PHASE TWO: In the next phase, Paragon worked closely with the head of maintenance at each facility to conduct more detailed assessments. This deeper dive focused on evaluating the condition of individual rooms and identifying specific exterior issues to start to build a more comprehensive understanding of each facility’s needs. 1 16 STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS In August, the first Steering Committee meeting took place, a key milestone in the Stakeholder Engagement component of the master planning process. The Steering Committee included representatives from all levels of district leadership, as well as staff, parents, and students. Ensuring a diverse group of voices was a priority for the district, allowing perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders to shape the process. The initial meeting focused on establishing a shared understanding of the master plan’s objectives, scope of work, and timeline. The Paragon team presented example deliverables, reviewed findings from the initial building tours and assessments, and facilitated discussions around the specific needs and priorities of each facility. This meeting provided an opportunity for committee members to ask questions, offer feedback, and actively contribute to shaping the direction of the master planning process. • Stacy Siwak, BOE President • Kim Hurst, BOE Vice President • Jason Growe, BOE Treasurer • Dr. Nisha Patel, Superintendent, SDC • Jennifer Abeles, Parent • Anna Bertman, Community Member • Jack Boeger, SRO at WMS • John Brazeal, CFO, SDC • Jim Brennell, Head of Facilities, SDC • Angie Caracciolo, Math Coordinator, SDC • Joe Downs, Parent • Patrick Fisher, Principal, Meramec • David Gipson, City Manager, Parent • Dan Gutchewsky, Principal, CHS • Frank Hackmann, Grandparent, Community Member & Former BOE Member • Luke Heitert, Director of Data Systems and Reporting, SDC • Kyle Hogan, CEF Board President • Steve Hutson, Athletic Director, CHS • Jamie Jordan, Principal, WMS • Elias Kilbridge, CHS Student • Brad Krone, Science Teacher, CHS • Megan Lenihan, PAC Ed., Parent • Lucia Lerena, Student Representative on BOE, CHS • Bridget McAndrew, Alderman-Ward III, Parent • Sarah Miller, Social Studies Teacher, WMS • Tarita Murdock, Principal, GLN • Amy Perry, Director, FC • Allie Rossini, CEF Vice President • Lilly Scharff, PTO Council Co-President, Parent • Lisa Sell, Interim Principal, CPT • Steve Singer, Former BOE Member & Community Member • Stephanie Stout, Classified Staff, WMS • John Turner, Director of Special Education • Lauren Young, Student, CHS PURPOSE OF STEERING COMMITTEE By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the Steering Committee acted as a guiding voice throughout the master planning process.

The list below includes the names of individuals who made up the Steering Committee, as well as their role, and the facility or organization they are representing if applicable. FORMATION OF STEERING COMMITTEE & MEETING #1 2 17 In September, members of the Paragon Architecture team attended the district’s Board of Education meeting to introduce themselves and present an overview of master planning. Throughout the presentation, the master planning process, scope of work, timeline, and example deliverables were discussed. Findings from the initial building tours and assessments were also shared. The Paragon team took this opportunity to answer questions and gather feedback from the Board. SEPTEMBER BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING 3 The Building Level Sub-Committee process played a critical role in refining and prioritizing individual facility needs. Each school formed its own Sub-Committee, designed to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders with firsthand knowledge of daily interactions within the facilities. These committees provided valuable insights to complement the architectural team’s initial assessments. During the first Sub-Committee meeting, we began with introductions and outlined the purpose of the committee, emphasizing the importance of each member’s role in shaping the Long-Range Facility Master Plan. The agenda included a review of the scope of work, timeline, example deliverables, and findings from the initial facility assessments that were conducted in May. We shared the assessment data that was specific to each of the respective facilities and encouraged members to provide feedback, asking them, “What did we miss?” This dialogue led to the identification of additional needs and priorities based on their lived experiences in the buildings. BUILDING LEVEL SUB-COMMITTEE FORMATION & MEETING #1 4 PURPOSE OF SUB-COMMITTEES The purpose of the Sub-Committee was to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders from each school to gain deeper insights into the lived experiences within the facilities. By incorporating perspectives from staff, parents, students, and others, the Sub-Committee aims to identify and prioritize needs within each school. The lists that follow includes the individuals that made up each Sub-Committee by school. 18
