Why is this area being studied?

Population analysis studies are conducted every year in areas where student population numbers have changed significantly. The study process allows for a full year of community input before a decision is made to adjust school boundaries, consolidate schools or close schools.

If the board decides to close a school, what does the district do with the property?

The district is disinclined to surplus or sell property because our geographic boundaries limit our potential for growth. In instances when the facility is too old to be used or maintained, buildings could be razed and the property maintained as a park by the city or county while the district maintains ownership. If the property were to be sold or surplussed, the local city or municipality has first rights to the property per state law.

March 2023 PAC Update

Community Council Meetings will be held by network this year. Each community council member that lives in each network has been invited to attend to learn about the focus of the studies and to ask questions. Community Council Members are also encouraged to spread the word and invite community members to April Open Houses.
