This research project presents a conceptual overview of the planning issue of school siting via a series of practitioner-focused workshops and presentations held in North Carolina between November 2016 and March 2017. Through these four public education events, the research team introduced the transportation and land use phenomenon of school siting and transportation to a diverse set of stakeholders 鈥?municipal and regional land use and transportation planners; superintendents that manage auxiliary services within school districts; school transportation directors; school facility planners; real estate acquisition specialists; architects; construction managers; public health advocates and programming specialists; and state leaders in active school travel, school bus operations, and school planning. As previous research outlines, school siting is a process that involves each of these stakeholder groups. These workshops were designed to identify the role of each practitioner group within the school siting process, present previously funded STRIDE research, introduce resources and practice-ready tools, and facilitate group discussions to identify models of collaboration between school siting professionals. |
