ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Provides opportunity for a more state of the art school- better technology, lab access, additional course options, environmentally friendly, etc.

All new construction

Less traffic congestion

New auditorium

Grades 9-12 will have more extracurricular options

Keeps current grade level structure at the HS.

Having centralized competitive athletic fields.

Separating the population into competitive Middle Schools

Have and have nots with two Middle Schools

Site TBD

Too expensive

Would add more space than the enrollment projections indicate for the long term.

High cost for athletics

Keeping 9th Grade in HS (age spread is too great)

COMMENTS This is the only 9-12 option and supports current High School academy structure

High School needs more tech

The centralized fields, specifically a field house is an absolute must.

This is really quite a deal if people step back and look at the big picture; we need to stop short changing our children.

Site for new school determined

Grade configuration seems positive for students

Keeps school centrally located in the community

Fixes overcrowding at both HS & MS

Less grades per school and the need for competitive athletic fields located at the HS are a must

Not enough space the site is already too crowded and would increase concerns related to parking and traffic

3-story school creates challenges for people with mobility disabilities

No room for expansion if needed in the future

High cost for athletics

Lots of transitions for students

Dislike elementary recess so close to a HS

COMMENTS Is there enough land to add all that is needed for a high school?

Better idea leave 8-9 at MS so it is next to new high school and move grades 6-7 to the current high school.

Could the MS just be added on to rather than build a separate new high school? This seems to provide plenty of space based on projections.

I dont mind the location, but would vote NO because it is not a 9-12 school.

Having a new high school that can be designed in a way that supports current programming

New auditorium and athletic fields that keep us competitive with other school districts in area

A newer/high-tech campus will keep student in Hudson and draw new families to the district

Pride of the community

Mechanical, electrical, and technical infrastructure taken care of at the HS

Provides extra space if needed for expansion

Site TBD

9th graders not having access to HS activities and athletics

Too expensive and doesnt fully utilize existing space

Too many transitions

Pouring money into the current HS is a waste, it should be razed and a new HS built on the current site

COMMENTS Hard to fully understand the ramifications of this option with knowing the site, infrastructure needs, traffic safety, water,

sewer, etc.

Think about a new site that doesnt create more congestion

Will administrative office building be sold and move back to one of the schools?

Is there a way for the school and city to collaborate on athletic field complex?

Need to get this decision right because we will be using this new building for the next 50 years

Use existing district-owned land

Helps with MS overcrowding

More centralized

Important to use what we have, renovations can be creative

Renovations can easily meet the space needs.

Solves overcrowding issue at MS, but still doesnt address overcrowding at HS

Significant renovations needed at HS

No new auditorium

Patch work solution

Two Middle Schools not practical

Parking at HS is limited

Having onsite water and septic

Splitting into 2 MS requires duplication of resources and staff

No room to expand at the HS if needed for potential future growth

UU site is suitable for elementary

Buses not cars at UU

In direction of new growth

Allows MS more space

No lighting requirements for elementary

Keeps HS centrally located

Most cost effective not as educationally effective

Uses what we already have

Remodeling current HS is a super job

Current Prairie may not convert easily to MS houses

Athletic fields still off-site

Low priority to HS issues; such as parking, disruption to learning, etc.

We dont want to spend $86M to renovate an old HS its a waste

We dont need a new elementary school. Makes no sense excess capacity already exists in elem.

Creates disruption at elementary level

Does not solve space issues at the HS

COMMENT Is scope of HS remodel enough?

Should have lesser cost than new building

No need to find a new site

Great idea! Largest classes in district are already in high school; space is eased by attrition in a few years anyway.

Keep costs down, use flexible learning. Not all high school kids need to be in the same building at the same time.

Problem of space doesnt really seem to be solved

Piecemeal, band aid approach. Dont like it. Waste of money

Does not use the excess capacity at the elementary level.

No real solution here we dont have enough room for them to learn.

We need a new High School, auditorium and more fields to serve the population at our schools

COMMENT Families will continue to pull students out of the Hudson School District to attend communities that invest in education.

Good utilization of existing space, considers decrease in elementary enrollment

More cost effective

This would solve space problem at the middle school, but I still feel the existing high school even with renovations would be too small.

Redistricting is very emotional and controversial; what if growth occurs that is not expected?

Doing a band aid fix wont solve the long term problems

Doesnt address core of MS & HS

Dont want bigger grade schools

HS is land locked need more parking and want fields and high school together

We need a new high school

COMMENT Is there capacity at the elementary schools to actually do this?

The athletic fields should be a separate bond issue.

Issues we have in the district are not at the elementary level. Why would we focus our energy there, and upset a system that is working?

We deserve better.

Home owners around HP wont support this option losing a school students can walk to.

Least disruptive for students, faculty and community

Would solve space issue at MS

Concern with additional transition

Reconfiguration of school population is disruptive
