Council presses Cache County school boundary process; requests liaison outreach
Summary
Councilmembers raised concerns about a closed-door facilities advisory process at Cache County School District and said they will push for engagement; Clarkston added a local contact for residents to reach about proposed boundary changes.
Councilmembers discussed the Cache County School District's facilities advisory committee and a district-led boundary review tied to growth in Cache Valley. The council said the district and its contractor, MHTN Architects, are developing proposed boundary options in private and plan to present final proposals to the district board in January 2026, with parent notifications in spring 2026 for implementation in the 2027-28 school year.
Councilmember Kelly said the town had obtained a local contact who is receiving resident feedback and that initial responses were roughly split: about half of respondents favored attending the proposed new school and half preferred existing assignments. Kelly said the contact's name (presented in the meeting as Marian Field) was posted on the town website for residents to reach out.
Several councilmembers expressed frustration that the advisory work and some committee deliberations are not currently public and encouraged continued outreach. One councilmember said they would try to reach the district superintendent directly if the liaison could not provide sufficient access.
No formal council action was taken during the meeting; the council agreed to continue public notifications on its website and to attempt direct outreach to the superintendent and the district advisory contact to ensure Clarkston residents can provide input before boundary decisions are finalized.
