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.
