Meeting Take Aways The purpose of the study is to answer the question, “In considering a number of options, is there a better way educationally and fiscally to reconfigure the grades and facilities to provide a sound instructional program now and in the future?” The study process will be open to ensure there is not a perception it is being conducted behind closed doors. The Advisory Committee was formed to assist the consultants throughout the process, but the final recommendations will be the consultants’. The district has seen declining enrollments and will likely continue to see enrollments decline. Castallo & Silky LLC-Education Consultants
