Overall, we use several metrics when assessing these projects. We look at equity, viability, and impact. Who does the project serve? Are we serving all parts of the district equitably? Who will it impact? What kind of impact will it have? Etc. These are the kinds of lenses we look at these projects with, so keep them in mind when you’re putting together your ideas.
Once we finish collecting all our ideas, have input from the community (both online and at our assemblies) then they will be turned over to our Project Committees for review.
