Easton Area School District - Facility Utilization Committees

As the new school year approaches, it is that time again, a group of four (4) citizen committees will resume work on the Easton Area School District Facility utilization plan.

These committees has been hard at work this year to update the current EASD Facility Utilization plan. A brief description of the committees is as follows:

  • Enrollment Projection: Determine the school district growth rate by grade by school.
  • Building Capabilities and Needs Assessments: Review the current list of school improvements and determine additional school building improvements for the next ten to twenty years.
  • Redistricting: Propose school redistricting, as needed.
  • Best Practices in Education: To determine the correct class size and the best education practices. 

The committee meetings will resume on September 10, 2008 at 7:00 PM. Additionally, the committees may meet on September 24, October 15, October 29, November 5, and November 19.  The meetings should will be held at the EASD Education building located on Bushkill Drive.

These committees are a good idea, as concerned parents and the various school PTA organizations can help write the final recommendation to the school board.

Get Involved! Every Voice Counts!
