Lakewood Comparison

Have we contacted Lakewood City Schools to get input about their facilities
project process, successes and challenges?

Representatives from our District initially contacted Lakewood two years ago and continue to communicate with them and several other districts with capital projects. Lakewood had a “100 years committee” that developed their long range plan. It is important to note that while there are some similarities between the projects, Lakewood was eligible for significant OSFC support and do not have bussing considerations, two things that significantly differentiate the two projects. Lakewood was effective in engaging their community and we are mindful of their successes in that area.
