Dec. 7 CFAC meeting

On Dec. 7, 22 voting members and 4 YSD support team members toured two new elementary schools in Selah, then visited Hoover Elementary and Garfield Elementary. Hoover Elementary was constructed in 1947 and Garfield was built in 1965. The committee was able to see and compare modern learning environments (safety measures, playground structures, the use of natural lighting, use of furniture and learning areas,  indoor playstructures, multiple-use spaces, ADA compliant playgrounds for students with disabilities, etc.) with the challenges of meeting the social and academic needs of students in facilities that are 57+ years old.
