Committee discusses converting Reed to 4th/5th intermediate school to ease capacity
Summary
Committee members discussed creating a 4th/5th grade intermediate school at Reed to create additional elementary‑level capacity, reduce pressure on neighborhood elementary schools, and allow expanded programming including possible full‑day preschool.
Committee members spent considerable time discussing the potential creation of a 4th/5th intermediate school, including Reed as a targeted site. The committee listed benefits such as creating additional elementary‑level capacity, providing a modern facility for grades 4 and 5, reducing pressure on existing elementary schools, and enabling expanded programming like potential full‑day preschool.
The committee emphasized the intermediate school should be part of a broader district facilities strategy, not a stand‑alone project, and suggested community input—surveys, focus groups, and public forums—be incorporated into any next steps. The motion recorded later in the meeting explicitly recommends consideration of converting Reed to a 4th/5th school.
