Phase Two will determine the best solution to “right-size” the elementary and intermediate schools and address current and future enrollment needs. This is a complex issue with several options that the school board wants to be sure to get right. Answering the many questions that surround this issue (Phase Two) will take some time and require an expanded engaging of the community.
