Public Invited To Weigh In On GVSD Facility Planning

MALVERN, PA — The Great Valley School District community is invited to participate in upcoming workshops on the district's potential plans to make changes to its facilities due to enrollment growth and aging school infrastructure.

District officials are working with the architectural firm SCHRADERGROUP of Manayunk to facilitate a feasibility study of its current buildings and to make future recommendations for facilities. The firm has been working over the past several months to gather and interpret all relevant information.

Community members are invited to join the district in this planning at upcoming workshop sessions at the Great Valley High School.

The session schedule is below:

• Tuesday, Oct. 15 —Architect Feasibility Study Presentation, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• Tuesday, Nov. 12 — Community Workshop - Part One, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
• Monday, Dec. 9 — Community Workshop - Part Two, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Those interested in participating at any of the events are asked to please register their participation in advance.

To set the stage and establish a baseline understanding, the findings of a recent data collection process will be presented.

Various alternatives will be discussed which may include grade structures, as well as capital building projects. This process will culminate in a comprehensive master plan for the district to follow for the next 5 to 10 years.

The district's website has a page dedicated to the architect feasibility study and future facilities planning. Presentations, information, and FAQs will be posted on this site as they become available.

Great Valley High School is located at 225 N. Phoenixville Pike.
