Action Item

This action simply adds the possibility of closure as a potential solution to be explored as part of the study.

The board led a discussion on the Grade Reconfiguration Process and directed district administration to bring the topic as an information item in next month’s board meeting.
Cheri says
The Population Analyses seem to include leaving 6th grade in the elementary schools. There has also been talk of moving 6th grade to middle school in the Taylorsville network. Does that decision play a role in boundary changes/school closures? Has the decision been made to leave 6th grade in elementary?
Ben Horsley says
Grade Configuration changes are requested by communities in a separate process. PAC does monitor those processes, but your community is the one who ultimately makes the request to the board on that matter.
