Mason District Community,

It is with deep disappointment that I share that the School Board did not approve the Glasgow Middle School Boundary Scoping Study at the School Board Meeting last night, March 21, 2024.

Mr. McElveen and Mr. Moon joined me to support the motion, but the majority (7) of the Board elected to deny the motion until a division-wide boundary adjustment can be implemented in the outyears. My position remains that the work to right-size Glasgow Middle School could have been accomplished in conjunction with the pending holistic boundary work to address the long-standing needs of the school. 

At this time, the Board’s Governance Committee is working on revising the boundary policy, Policy 8130, with the goal of completing this work by July 2024. The Governance Committee meetings are open to the public and their meeting schedule is listed below for your reference. Please also find links to the documents the committee has reviewed to-date related to this work.

While this outcome is regrettable given the unpredictability of the division-wide, holistic boundary work, I will continue to advocate for our community.
