Superintendent reports kindergarten full, site planning and irrigation talks underway
Summary
Superintendent reported steady enrollment with kindergarten expected full next year (22 enrolled, ~15 on waiting list), and outlined early site‑planning steps with architects and irrigation district conversations for parking and practice fields.
Superintendent told the board kindergarten enrollment is expected to be full next year and described early site‑planning work for facilities improvements.
According to the superintendent, current kindergarten enrollment stands at about 22 in‑district children with roughly a 15‑student waiting list; the district will not allow enrollment based solely on planned construction unless there is a firm completion date and visible progress on site. The superintendent said she has met with architects to start a site plan, will work with local equipment providers to grade and gravel parking, and plans to consult the irrigation district and city on water availability for potential practice fields and landscaping.
On enrollment policy and consistency the superintendent said the district requires a structure with a firm completion date before granting enrollment for students from planned housing developments. She also described short‑term work this summer (grading, parking improvements and ground maintenance) and noted further facilities discussion will occur when board goals are reviewed.
Superintendent described actions underway: "I've got a meeting with the architects to get some things rolling in terms of getting a site plan done... I've talked to Nate and I talked quite a bit about irrigation. So I've got a meeting with the irrigation district to kind of look at what it would look like to get irrigation over there."
