In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the future of Warrenton Middle School and Warrenton Preparatory School, particularly in light of potential closure due to performance issues. If the school fails to meet certain benchmarks even after an extension, it will be closed, and the facility may be repurposed at the discretion of the superintendent.

The meeting highlighted the implications of such a closure, particularly regarding student reassignment. If the school closes, students will be tracked for three years and will not be allowed to attend schools with unsatisfactory performance ratings or those classified as D or F during that period.

Concerns were raised about the support provided to students in these struggling schools. It was confirmed that Warrenton Preparatory School receives additional funding, including UNISIG and EEA (formerly TISA), to facilitate tutoring and other necessary educational support. The Bureau of School Improvement is actively involved, with scheduled visits to the school twice a month, ensuring that students receive adequate care and resources.

The meeting concluded with a sense of reassurance regarding the involvement of traditional public schools in supporting Warrenton Preparatory, emphasizing the collaborative efforts to improve student outcomes amidst ongoing challenges. The session was briefly recessed, allowing participants to regroup before continuing discussions.
