Questions

  • A group of community members who have come together to evaluate the district’s aging and evolving facility needs in order to provide facility and equipment recommendations to the Mason ISD Board of Trustees.

  • The district believes in creating a collaborative culture in which all stakeholders may be a part of discussions regarding the district’s future. The district wants input in evaluating its facility needs and by forming a Committee, it allows the district to hear from and incorporate many different perspectives from people in the Mason ISD community. Committee participants reflect larger community values, needs, and priorities.

  • The Facility Study Committee represents a diverse demographic makeup of Mason ISD residents, including parents, non-parents, grandparents, local civic and business leaders, as well as school staff. These committee members work alongside one another to prioritize and build a recommendation to the Board of Trustees that best represents the values and perceptions of the entire community.

  • Committee members were nominated by district employees and/or school board members. Some members have served on past facilities planning committees and some are serving in this capacity for the first time.

  • The Committee will study a district-wide facilities assessment, financial data, and results of a community survey in order to form their recommendation. Mason ISD will make any other relevant data or requested data available to the committee that should aid them in their decision-making.
