SCHOOL BOUNDARY CHANGES
Franklin Pierce Schools is going through a process to review school boundary lines in order to match school enrollments with building capacities and plan for growth in our community. A boundary review committee consisting of FPS families, community members and staff are looking at population information and community input to make a recommendation to the Superintendent.
We are actively seeking community input on the current map option as we look for ways to improve the school boundaries. Please click on the link below to view an overview of the process, to look at the proposed boundary maps, and to share your feedback with the boundary review committee.
