The Population Analysis Committee (PAC) had initiated two studies in 2022. Due to population declines throughout the district, we will be studying various regions over the next 5-10 years. The Board of Education approved the continuation of the following study in their June 2022 meeting:

Study 1: Van Winkle / 700 East Corridor Study

The PAC is studying the potential consolidation of 1-3 elementary campuses along this corridor to help shore up the populations in remaining schools. Three schools in this region have enrollment below 300 students.

Update: June 14, 2022 the GSD School Board voted to CONTINUE this study. Boundary consolidation proposals will now be developed and presented to the public in September for feedback.

All comments and feedback garnered through email and the open houses will be collated and provided to the Board of Education in advance of their final decision. The Board will evaluate and vote on the recommendations in both the November 1, 2022 and December 6, 2022 Board meetings.
