Board names new alternative program Table Rock Achievement Center (TRACK) and will repurpose high school space
Summary
The board approved creating a non-traditional learning environment called the Table Rock Achievement Center (TRACK), will move central office out of the high school to house it, and expects construction to finish around early February with a planned opening in the 2027–28 school year.
The REEDS SPRING R-IV board voted to establish a non-traditional learning environment and approved the name Table Rock Achievement Center, or TRACK, at its June meeting. District leaders said the program is intended to support students with behavioral and social-emotional needs and to operate as a regional sending-school model.
The district's chief financial officer said the board approved hiring a director for the program and will repurpose space by moving central office out of the high school to create the facility. Officials emphasized that placing the program adjacent to the high school and career center will make it easier to integrate students back into regular coursework and career pathways.
Why it matters: the board framed TRACK as an opportunity to provide alternative pathways without the stigma of a traditional "alternative school." The speaker said the program will be regionally available to sending schools and designed to help students return to standard progress toward graduation.
Details: the board approved the official name — Table Rock Achievement Center — and the acronym TRACK to highlight the program's focus on putting students on a "new track." Construction work to ready the facility was described as likely ending around early February, and the program is planned to begin in the 2027–28 school year once remodeling and preparations are complete.
What happens next: staff will continue developing program details, hire the director approved by the board, and coordinate facilities work; the speaker said the program will not begin until the facility is finished.
