In a recent meeting of the Washington County School District Board, significant discussions centered around proposed boundary changes that have garnered community interest. Vice President David Sterling led the meeting in the absence of Board President Becky Dunn, emphasizing the board's commitment to engaging with parents and stakeholders in the district.

Sherry Stevenson presented the proposed boundary changes, which aim to refine school assignments within the district. Notably, the board has decided against relocating the dual immersion program from the Crimson Cliffs cone site to the Pine View cone site. Instead, the proposal suggests that only the area north of the dam road, including the Shooting Star community, will be reassigned to align with Long Valley, which is already part of the Pine View cone site.

Stevenson highlighted the importance of community feedback in shaping these proposals, expressing gratitude for the active involvement of parents. She announced that a public hearing will be held on November 4 at 6 PM at Fossil Ridge Intermediate, followed by a board meeting on November 11 at 4:30 PM, where further discussions will take place.

The board also approved a consent agenda that included minutes from previous meetings, financial reports, personnel items, and plans for various schools within the district. The meeting underscored the board's dedication to transparency and collaboration with the community as they navigate changes that impact local education.
