Elementary School Planning for 2021-22
In 2021, APS is projected to welcome more than 30,000 students, and will open a new elementary school and add high school seats.
On Wed, Oct. 30, APS shared proposals for moving some elementary schools as a first step in a countywide elementary school planning and boundary process for the 2021-22 school year. Community engagement regarding the proposed school moves begins now and continues through January 2020.
There are several ways to get up to speed on this process, the challenges that APS faces, and these proposals to move schools:
- Visit the Engage page for detailed information, a timeline and FAQs
- Read a two-page Infographic in English or Spanish
- View a 5-minute video for an overview
- View a 30-minute Online Information Session that presents information and answers community questions (Spanish pending)
Please participate in a Questionnaire (English/Spanish) on these proposals at APS Engage, available through November 24, 2019. These proposals may be revised as APS gathers ideas and suggestions from community members before School Board action on Feb. 6, 2020. Any changes made would take effect in Sept. 2021.
