Where would a new district have its offices?
A new district would need to have offices for its central staff. It is cost effective to house the staff in the same facility (Granite began saving more than $700,000 per year, in large part by eliminating redundant positions, when it consolidated central and support staff into the Granite Education Center on State Street). The law does not require that offices be physically located within district boundaries so a new district would have wide discretion about housing central staff. Leasing or remodeling facilities would each have both one-time and on-going operational costs.
