The Population Analysis Committee (PAC) is conducting two studies in 2022. Due to population declines throughout the district, we will be studying various regions over the next 5-10 years. The two studies that have been approved for this calendar year are as follows:

Study 1: Van Winkle / 700 East Corridor Study

The PAC is studying the potential consolidation of 1-2 elementary campuses along this corridor to help shore up the populations in remaining schools. Three schools in this region have enrollment below 300 students.

Study 2: Skyline, Olympus, Cottonwood High Network Study

Because of changes to boundaries over the past several years (including the loss of the Taylorsville portion), plus overall population decline in our district, Cottonwood High School has gone from 2,000+ students to approximately 1,600 students. Back when the Cottonwood Network was implementing grade reconfiguration, it was expressed that once this area had fully transitioned to a K-5, 6-8, 9-12 configuration we would look at studying these boundaries to ensure all high schools in the area have a robust boundary.
