School Changes (School Year 2019-20)

Community Meeting March 7, 2019

Cooperative Strategies presented a goal of realigning elementary to middle school feeder patterns to the school board to keep students together as they rise up through the grades. In several instances, rising 6th students are split among multiple middle schools. This adjustment is the next step in the long-range goal.
