District news
Four elementary schools become three in 2026-27
What happened
District finance papers say the district consolidated from four elementary campuses to three for 2026-27, with new attendance boundaries, because enrollment has fallen in 14 of the last 15 years. Staffing is down from 439.6 full-time jobs in 2021-22 to 396.0 in 2026-27.
Why it matters to families
Families may be reassigned to different buildings and the district has fewer staff positions. Leaders say this makes the budget balanced through 2030.
