A staff member walks through one of the halls at South View Middle School on Tuesday in Danville. Danville school officials are gathering input from the community to measure expectations and priorities for buildings to help them create a master plan. Three of the most problematic are South View and North Ridge middle schools and East Park Elementary School, all of which opened in the 1960s and are now outdated.
