2. District Presents Plan, Timeline and Charter to Board

Nov 15, 2022

In the Long-Range Plan, a rezoning of the middle school and high school levels is needed in order to better utilize existing facilities, relieve overcrowding and delay the need for new facilities, which have seen a recent sharp uptick in cost.

The first step in any rezoning effort is the approval of the process and charter by the Board, forming the development criteria for any rezoning scenarios. Throughout the process over the following months, there will be many opportunities for community feedback, a critical component before a recommended set of plans is brought to the Board in May and June.
