ELPS Elementary Programming Community Survey
Background Information and Purpose of the Survey
In May 2017, East Lansing residents approved a $93.77 million bond proposal to construct five new elementary schools and renovate Red Cedar Elementary School. One of the commitments of that bond proposal was that Red Cedar School would open and house preschool programming and up to seven elementary classrooms. For the 2019-20 school year, Red Cedar School will house the Pinecrest School population while a new Pinecrest is constructed. While it has not yet been determined, it is possible that Red Cedar School will house the Marble School population during construction of its new building during the 2020-21 school year. Once Red Cedar is no longer used as a swing school, it will open with preschool and elementary programming as planned.
A committee has been established to consider options for long-term programming at Red Cedar School and would like input from the community to help guide the committee’s discussions. The committee is still in the exploration stage, and no decisions have been made at this time. Once the data from this survey is collected, the committee will determine next steps and offer additional opportunities for community feedback. Finally, the committee anticipates making a recommendation for long-term Red Cedar School programming to the Board of Education in the fall of 2019. We appreciate your input and welcome suggestions. We are hoping to receive input from the entire school community to find out what types of programming are of interest to our families.
