Alpine School District reveals survey results on proposed district division plans

The Utah County Commission held a public meeting on March 26, 2025, focusing on the recent survey regarding the division of the Alpine School District. The survey aimed to gather community opinions and concerns about the proposed changes, which have generated significant interest among residents.

During the meeting, officials reported that the survey received an impressive 404,516 responses within just two weeks. Participants were asked to identify their district and provide feedback on three proposed maps for the new school boundaries. The majority of responses came from the Timpanogos and Central Districts, with additional input from the Mountain West and South Districts.

Key concerns raised by the community included the timeline for the district division, potential changes to students' current schools, and the impact on local taxes and funding for the new districts. Many respondents expressed anxiety about how the changes would affect their children and families. Officials reassured the public that current students would not need to change schools due to the new boundaries.

The meeting also addressed questions about the voting process for the district split, clarifying that not all cities had the opportunity to vote, as the process followed state law. Answers to frequently asked questions will be made available on the county's website for further public access.

As the process moves forward, officials indicated that there would be additional opportunities for public input, especially as elections for new school board members approach later this year. The commission concluded its role in the process, signaling a transition to more localized school representation.
