School-boundary study is nearly done
The latest study is nowhere near as far-reaching and controversial as Davis' high school boundary study last year. It will only affect Cook, Lakeside, Syracuse, West Clinton and West Point elementary schools.
Leaders have met with each of the five school's community councils and held two open houses and say the feedback has been minimal. At one of the open houses fewer than 10 community members attended.
The new elementary will address the booming growth in the northwest part of Davis County. Leaders want to realign school communities to balance enrollment in the area.
The so-far-unnamed elementary No. 57, located at 1924 S. Doral Drive in Syracuse, will open with just over 704 students if the boundaries are approved. Most students will be able to walk to school.
District planning director Chase Rogers said the school could be put on a year-round schedule in the near future due to the continued growth in the area.
He said the proposed boundaries should last three to five years, if approved. The proposal is not set in stone yet but will be considered later this month by the Davis Board of Education.
The district is also accepting ballots from community members for names of the new school. On the table are names like Bridger Bay, Buffalo Point, Glen Eagle, Legacy and Shoreline.
