During the April 10, 2025 school board meeting, the staff were asked to propose a plan to address the current and future capacity issues in the Forest Zone elementary schools. A proposed plan was developed and presented at the May 8, 2025, school board meeting. These presentations are linked below and can also be found on board docs.
