Committee backs St. George campus expansion, recommends formal land agreement with Washington County
Summary
USDB's working group recommended securing a two-acre parcel adjacent to Bloomington Hills Elementary to build a 99,900 sq ft St. George campus for 2040 needs; the committee endorsed prioritization and commended Washington County School District's co-location record.
The working group recommended that the state formalize an agreement with Washington County School District to secure land adjacent to Bloomington Hills Elementary School and build a permanent USDB campus sized to meet 2040 projections (documented in the report as 99,900 gross square feet). Committee members and staff said the location supports shared programming and mainstreaming with nearby elementary, middle and high schools.
Superintendent Nelson and Dr. Tanner characterized Washington County as an "exemplary" co-location partner and noted current successful shared arrangements (for example, modular facilities and shared classroom space at Snow Canyon High School). Members asked that square-footage targets remain flexible and be presented as estimates during programming, and requested any final motion include clear references to the 2040 projection numbers cited in consultant reports.
