SPRING VALLEY, WI – The School District of Spring Valley (SVSD) held the first of three Community Task Force on Facilities sessions on Monday, September 23, 2024, in the Middle-High School Library. The purpose of these Task Force sessions is to gather input from the SVSD community about their thoughts going forward on how the District should develop a ten-year plan for the future as it pertains to the facilities of the Spring Valley Schools and education in the District.

The session was attended by about 40 community members including six school staff members and began with a “Welcome” by John Groh, District Administrator. With his brief welcome and thanks to all who came out to attend he gave some historical context for the Task Force creation. It was determined by the School Board and the District Administrator after the two rejected referendum questions last April that the SVSD could use some guidance in future needs planning and that is what led to working with NexusSolutions.

The Task Force sessions are being led by the consulting firm of NexusSolutions that was hired by the School Board after they interviewed two firms to guide them with facilities planning.
