The district’s enrollment has declined from 87,233 students in 2016 to 72,783 students in 2023.
Additionally, the board unanimously approved a contract for a district facility master plan with a maximum price tag of almost $2.1 million. The chosen contractor, Hoar Program Management LLC, will “provide fact-based planning tools for future facility-related decisions” and “provide information that supports renovation, repurposing and/or construction of current and/or new facilities,” records show.
Before recommendations are made to close any schools, the resolution outlines a process to gather feedback from the community. After getting that preliminary feedback, the district will prepare a draft of the study including its initial recommendations, which will be shared with the board, school employees and families, and hold more regional meetings to present the study to the community.
