School Efficiency
The Board of Education voted to approve a plan to close three elementary schools, repurpose one; middle schools move to 6-8 and redraw school boundaries to accommodate the previous adjustments. These changes will go into effect at the start of the 2022-23 school year. They are being made to address changes in the district.
- Better Student Services - More students in fewer school buildings means more teachers and more class options.
- Changing Enrollment - Enrollment has declined over time while total district buildings have increased.
- Financial Impacts - The district is facing large deficits that must be addressed and that are driving the timeline of school efficiency.
