Capital Project Survey

Community Letter 10/25/22

Delaware Academy is in the initial phases of planning future capital projects in its effort to continuously build out the quality of instruction and experiences for our community of learners.

One of the most crucial elements of any major capital planning initiative at DA is a firm dedication to the concept of community collaboration and transparency. In short: we pledge to keep our community informed and engaged at each step of the process.

To that end, the District has established this webpage as a portal to catalogue all related information and documentation as a community reference. This page will be updated whenever new information becomes available, so be sure to check back in!

The Delaware Academy Board of Education will be meeting on Monday, 3/13/23 for our next Capital Project Work Session at 5:00pm, in the High School Library following the Budget Workshop. While this is not a public hearing, community members are encouraged to attend to view the presentation and discussion. Dates for future meetings for community input, questions, and answers will be forthcoming.

Our first Community Planning Forum will be on Monday, November 7, 2022 at 6:00pm in the High School Auditorium. A presentation detailing how capital projects are planned and financed, how items are prioritized, and results of the first survey will be referenced. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion, and question and answer period to help further inform this project.

On Tuesday, 10/18/22, the Delaware academy Board of Education met for a work session to explore details about future capital projects. As a preliminary exercise, they shared ideas, hosted a discussion about the importance of fiscal strategy, and heard a presentation to aid in guiding long-term strategy.

This initial first-step will be followed by future public forums, surveys, and presentations to engage our community in planning over the next month. This meeting was open to the public, but if you were unable to attend, please take the opportunity to watch the meeting in the linked recording of the event below.
