Open house to focus on Provo schools

PROVO — Find out details of the proposals to alter how schools are used in the Provo School District at meetings this week.

Two open houses will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at Provo High School, 1125 N. University Avenue.

District officials are looking for input on five scenarios that attempt to deal with aging schools and unbalanced enrollment growth.

Elementary and middle schools that could be demolished, rebuilt or converted to another use are:

• Edgemont Elementary

• Grandview Elementary

• Joaquin Elementary

• Provost Elementary

• Rock Canyon Elementary

• Timpanogos Elementary

• Wasatch Elementary

• Farrer Middle School

• Dixon Middle School

Elementary schools that cannot be closed due to geographic locations or inability of surrounding schools to absorb enrollment are:

• Canyon Crest Elementary

• Franklin Elementary

• Spring Creek Elementary

• Sunset View

Provo's Board of Education must select a plan by which to guide district growth by November. For more information about the scenarios, go to www.provo.edu.
