Summary
Daryl Morton, president of the school board, said a consultant presented preliminary rezoning and redistricting findings at a work session; he emphasized the process is ongoing and does not include consolidating or closing schools.
Daryl Morton, president of the school board, said at a work session that a consultant hired by the board delivered a preliminary presentation on rezoning and redistricting aimed at addressing population imbalances across the district’s schools.
Morton said the study is in an early stage and that the board plans to present the data and forthcoming analysis to the community to explain the process and solicit public input. "That process is still not finished, so I expect that we'll have more information about it," he said.
Morton sought to reassure residents that the review is focused on boundary adjustments, not facility closures. "I want to make clear that we're not talking about consolidating or closing any schools," he said.
Board officials described the consultant’s work as an initial look at enrollment patterns and potential zoning options rather than a final recommendation. Morton indicated the board will provide community presentations that outline the data, the options staff and consultants are considering, and opportunities for public feedback.
No formal motions or votes were recorded during the remarks. The board said it will return to the topic with additional information and public outreach before any decisions are made.
