SOLUTIONS: • Update all playground equipment to be more interactive and themed. • Regrade outdoor zones as needed, addressing outdated infrastructure as needed as well. • Provide secure fencing and gates around all areas which students use during the school day. 62 DOT EXERCISES IMPROVEMENT LISTS INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW & PURPOSE Throughout the Initial Building Assessments and the Steering Committee and Subcommittee process, our team carefully documented the insights and feedback stakeholders shared regarding facility improvement suggestions across the Clayton District. This section serves as a record of those contributions, organized by school. These insights played a crucial role in shaping the project summaries, which were later reviewed and prioritized through the dot exercises before being implemented into design solutions. 63
