It all begins with a long range plan and vision, but the most valuable ingrediant for success is leadership and commitment to considering student needs first as a guiding principle throughout the process. #studentsfirst #educationalexperience #longrangeplan #schooldesign #dlrgroup

Even high-performing districts in high-achieving communities need to address aging facilities from time to time.

Quality early learning education has a lasting positive impact, as shown in the Perry Preschool Project, a decades-long longitudinal study. But that increased likelihood of success should not be limited by socio-economic status... and Ascension Parish Government agrees. They partnered with Nicholls State University and Multistudio develop the West Ascension Early Learning Center (WAELC). The new early learning center will provide quality education to families on a sliding scale, creating much-needed options for families. 🥳 "We are giving the children an opportunity to be exposed to such an opportunity to be exposed to such an environment and giving parents an opportunity to enter the workforce or go back to school with a trusted place to send their child," said Mistie Lasseigne, executive director of Early Childhood Initiatives for Nicholls and WAELC. https://lnkd.in/gkDW93KG #EarlyLearningIsEssential #PerryPreschoolProject #WestAscensionEarlyLearningCenter

Here is another milestone the City of Norwalk reached in 2024 to improve our students’ quality of life. In 2024, the City of Norwalk made a significant investment in our students’ future by prioritizing the improvement of heating and cooling systems at six more schools across the City by securing State and City funding. The schools include Brien McMahon High School, Brookside Elementary School, Marvin Elementary School, Naramake Elementary School, Rowayton Elementary School and Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School. Thanks to City funding and a $21 Million State grant, this major upgrade will create optimal, equitable learning environments for our students, maximizing their success. Since 2018, the City has also invested capital funding into upgrading HVAC systems at several other schools, including Cranbury Elementary School, Jefferson Marine Science Elementary School, Kendall College and Career Academy, Nathan Hale Middle School, Roton Middle School and Ponus Ridge School Campus. In 2025, the City is also looking forward to opening a new state-of-the-art South Norwalk school next fall and continuing construction on the new Norwalk High School, which is projected to welcome students in the Fall of 2027. #CityofNorwalk #NorwalkPublicSchools #StudentSuccess #2024

Why are schools 🏫 ripping up playgrounds across the U.S.? Because asphalt traps heat and rising temperatures means more risks to children. “...as climate change sends temperatures soaring, the movement to replace heat-absorbing pavement around schools has gained urgency. School districts, cities and states are increasingly taking up the cause, spurred by research showing that asphalt play areas — many of which were installed decades ago — magnify the health risks of extreme heat.” Plus, greener playgrounds give kids the chance to connect with nature. 🌳 Hey Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida and school board members like Lynn Gray, how about partnering with groups like Trust for Public Land and Green Schoolyards America? https://lnkd.in/e4nWH2XY #climatechange #greenschools #climateresilience

Great work being done by Trust for Public Land Cooling the urban environment is good for people, animals and the planet
