Session Two of the Vision 202 process will begin with a presentation about the direction of education today, how school facilities can impact education, and wrap up with a look at how Lisle 202 facilities impact current practices. Following the presentation, participants will collaborate in small groups to provide feedback that will assist in the formation of a long-term Facilities Master Plan.

Vision 202: Chapter 2 is the second phase of the collaborative community engagement process between the community and Lisle CUSD.

At the first session, Co-chairs Susan Stears and Bill Buchelt shared their continued commitment to facilitating a positive conversation and emphasizing the importance of the community members’ participation in this collaborative process.
