At last night’s school board meeting, the board unanimously voted to expand Roosevelt to a K-6 school beginning next year!

The district is forming a committee in the next month to look at space allocation, enrollment, grade configuration, enrollment trends and the community needs and wants. Any decisions about Roosevelt adding 7th and 8th grade will be made after this committee makes it’s report to the school board next Fall/Winter. This committee will be using a lot of the research that our Expansion Committee gathered about K-8 schools vs Middle Schools.

We had a great turnout of parents and some of our 5th graders spoke to the school board and gave very compelling testimony about Roosevelt and PBL.
