The Process

It Started With a Plan
Chisholm administrators worked with the school board and community members to examine educational needs throughout the district to create a strategic plan. Facilities issues were at the top of the list of challenges facing the district, so a Task Force was formed to examine options for a solution. Using input from a community survey and from the Task Force, the school board placed two referendum questions on the November 8, 2022 ballot.
