USD 373 COMMUNICATIONS

NEWTON, Kan. — USD 373 has launched a Facilities Master Planning project in collaboration with RSP, a Kansas-based firm known for its expertise in school and community planning. The initiative aims to develop a long-term strategy for the district’s facilities by engaging a diverse group of stakeholders and analyzing key data.

Since November 2024, the district’s planning group—composed of community members, educators and other stakeholders—has met monthly to evaluate current facility conditions, enrollment trends and educational needs. Their work is intended to provide the Board of Education with data-driven recommendations for the future of USD 373’s facilities.

Community members are encouraged to attend an upcoming engagement session to learn more about the group’s findings and offer feedback. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, at Chisholm Middle School.

For those unable to attend in person, the district will launch an online Social PinPoint survey the evening of May 14. The survey will remain open through May 28, allowing the broader community to share their perspectives and help shape the district’s next steps.
