From Deseret News archives:
Take time to ponder a district split
First, and most importantly, we are concerned that unique programs now offered by the Jordan District may not be sustainable in a smaller district with significantly smaller enrollments. We chose to live in the Jordan District specifically because of the ALPS program at Midvale Middle School, which offers an advanced, rigorous program of study for motivated students, preparing them to succeed in college-prep courses in Jordan's high schools, including AP and International Baccalaureate classes. Because this magnet program enjoys the funding base of a large school district, and draws students from the entire southern end of the valley, it not only provides a viable choice for parents but also helps to sustain an otherwise under-enrolled school. Our concern is that with smaller enrollments and smaller budgets in a new school district, such public school choices for parents may be reduced or cut altogether.
