The Mount Pleasant Community School District’s Facilities Ad Hoc Committee is moving forward with its work to shape the future of the district’s schools.
Following the initial public community meeting held October 16, the committee — made up of more than 40 members representing staff, parents, and community members — will hold three key meetings through the end of the year.
The next session is set for October 22, focusing on defining the ideal elementary experience for students. A November 18 meeting will assess current facilities and needs, and a December 18 session will explore options and potential solutions.
The group will deliver final recommendations to the school board in January 2026, guided by principles of transparency, fiscal responsibility, and community engagement.
All meeting materials and updates will be publicly available on the district’s website as the committee continues its work toward a long-term, sustainable facilities plan.
The planning work is supported by SFM Consulting Group, led by Stephen F. Murley of Iowa City, who has helped guide similar projects across Iowa, including in districts such as Algona, Iowa City, and Council Bluffs.
