The Outcome of the Community Focus Groups
The Eastchester Board of Education hired a consultant to conduct “focus-group” type meetings with parents; civic
and community leaders; residents without children in the public schools; teaching faculty; custodial staff; and
students. The goal was to answer these questions:
1. Why did the last two major bond referenda (in November 2006 and March 2008) fail?
2. What might the Board of Education have done differently to elicit a positive vote?
3. How does the current state of the economy affect the community’s willingness to support a bond referendum now?
4. Would a project that limits construction to a single site have a better chance of passage than the previous plans?
5. Do people within the school community accept that there truly is a space issue at the middle and high school
levels?
