Meeting Schedule

The Burlington Schools' vision and master plan is moving full-speed ahead. Recognizing that Excellence and Equity is a goal for all students, the master plan will include:

1) A compelling district-wide vision for the future of Burlington Schools,

2) A facilities review complete with drawings and cost estimates to help prioritize necessary maintenance and improvements to our school buildings,

3) Feasibility plans for two innovative community-based elementary magnet schools.

Educational planner, Frank Locker of DeJONG-LOCKER is leading the vision and master planning. Read More

The process is being guided by an 18-person community steering committee, which includes parents, teachers, community partners and representatives from the school board, administration, city council and the city administration.Committee Members

DeJONG-LOCKER has facilitated a day and a half vision workshop and three separate day-long master plan workshops, one for elementary, middle and high school will take place next week.

The input from the vision and master plan workshops will be incorporated into the plan, to be presented to the school board and the public in September.

To keep the community up-to-date on the progress and the process, a community update meeting will be held on May 7th at 7pm at the Burlington High School cafeteria.
