The initiative aims to reconfigure the school district’s elementary and middle school grades, creating a more cohesive and integrated learning environment. This reconfiguration is part of a larger effort to improve student outcomes and address the challenges of a rapidly changing educational landscape. The proposed reconfiguration involves shifting the current K-8 grade structure to a K-5 structure, with grades 6-8 being consolidated into a single middle school. This shift aims to provide a more focused and specialized learning environment for each grade level. The proposed reconfiguration also includes the creation of a new elementary school, specifically designed to serve students in grades K-5.

This analysis is based on the district’s current enrollment trends and projections. The proposed changes would see the district shift from a traditional K-5 structure to a more flexible, multi-age grouping model. This shift would allow for a more personalized learning experience for students, potentially leading to improved academic outcomes. The proposed changes also aim to address the current overcrowding in the district.

Assistant Superintendent Michael Gogoj will be looking at the potential for expansion and renovation projects. The meeting will focus on the district’s long-term vision for its facilities. The district’s long-term vision for its facilities is to create a learning environment that is safe, engaging, and conducive to student success. This vision is based on the district’s core values of equity, excellence, and collaboration.

We need to be strategic about this, and we need to be thorough.”
