Residents urge West Linn district to complete boundary analysis before closing schools
Summary
Multiple West Linn residents asked the district to complete a boundary‑modification study and third‑party budget assessment before any decisions on school closures are made.
Speakers at the council listening session repeatedly pressed the school district to complete a boundary‑modification analysis and a third‑party budget review before pursuing school closures.
A resident who did not give a full name warned that the district’s current outreach focused on three schools and that ‘‘we could be essentially placing too much rate’’ on remaining campuses if consolidation proceeds without capacity analysis. The speaker said the district had not provided district‑wide engagement and urged broader notification, including materials in Spanish.
The issue of capacity was echoed by others who said remaining primary campuses may lack room to absorb students if consolidations occur. Multiple speakers asked the district to delay any action until enrollment forecasts and boundary impacts are completed and shared with the public.
