Agenda Item Summary: On July 10, 2019, ACPS and the design team held an opportunity for the community to come to Patrick Henry and review the initial concept being prepared for the preliminary submission to the City’s departments for review. Following the community portion, the Swing Space Collaborative Committee, comprised of former Patrick Henry Advisory Group members, and Patrick Henry, Douglas MacArthur and James K. Polk representatives met to review the comments heard during the community session and provide feedback on the initial concept to the design team. This is an update from that meeting.
Background: The School Board voted to approve the use of the old Patrick Henry building for Douglas MacArthur Swing Space in April 2019. Work has progressed since in pursuit of this use.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the concept and ask for any clarifications related to the concept.
