Thank you for your input at the community forums
December 08, 2006
The community overwhelmingly supported a bond issue in Sept. 2005 to build three new elementary schools and complete many other district improvements and projects. With the first new elementary well under way, a committee of community members and staff has been working on potential plans to transition students from four schools to six over the next few years.
Thank you for your input during the community forums this week to discuss those potential plans. The comment sheets will be typed and shared with the Board of Education as they determine how best to transition students.
