Bonneville Joint District 93 adopts new 2026–27 boundary map after revisions and public feedback
Summary
After reviewing three public-survey rounds and online town-hall sessions, the Bonneville Joint District 93 board approved a revised 2026–27 boundary plan that reduces split schools and accommodates neighborhood requests, while acknowledging trade-offs for long-term growth.
The Bonneville Joint District 93 board approved a revised set of school boundaries for the 2026–27 school year after months of surveys, live online sessions and neighborhood follow-ups.
Superintendent (role: Superintendent) presented Version 3 of the proposed plan, saying the revision incorporated community feedback gathered via Qualtrics surveys and two 90-minute live Q&A sessions that each drew about 4,000 online viewers. The superintendent listed multiple neighborhood-specific changes that staff recommended remain or be adjusted, including keeping Blackhawk at Woodland Hills and keeping Hawks Landing at Rimrock. The superintendent said the board had reduced the number of split schools from seven to five in the proposed plan and described trade-offs between minimizing immediate disruption and accommodating longer-term enrollment growth.
Board members asked detailed questions about select neighborhoods, including Centennial Ranch and Falls Valley. Trustees discussed Title I implications and whether shifting elementary boundaries would change the number of Title I-eligible schools; the superintendent said the reallocation could increase the number of qualifying schools from seven to 10 under current residency assumptions, which would spread Title I dollars more thinly.
Public commenters and trustees also flagged specific street-level corrections (for example, Ronroe Avenue and the Willow Creek triangle) that staff said they had adjusted. The superintendent acknowledged some neighborhoods remain unhappy — Pemora Lona and a Woodland Hills-to-Mountain Valley shift were singled out — but said the overall support metric rose from about 61% to 69% in the latest survey sample.
The board moved to adopt the 2026–27 proposed boundary map as presented and approved the motion by voice vote.
The board directed staff to continue community communications and noted additional work sessions would examine open-enrollment impacts and Title I funding distribution. The plan will be implemented as described unless further changes are directed in upcoming meetings.
