The school board votes October 1, but community input comes first, with public comments allowed but no debate. This isn’t the first time consolidation’s been discussed; a July task force recommended closures tied to falling birth rates and rising housing costs. Specific schools are now targeted, including relocating Black Bob’s Spanish immersion program to Arbor Creek. Four old schools will be demolished, two new ones built by 2029, with revised attendance zones expected by January.
