District outlines middle school consolidation proposal
What happened
District staff described a proposed Roosevelt Middle School expansion and closing Jefferson Middle School after the 2027-28 school year.
Why it matters to families
The proposal could change middle-school placements and facilities for families, if the Board approves the planned expansion and closure sequence.
The evidence
At the March 16 work session, staff said they would ask the Board to approve a Roosevelt expansion, estimated at $20-$25 million from SAVE funds, followed by a proposed Jefferson closure at the end of 2027-28. The recording describes a recommendation, not final Board action.
