School facility plan aims to boost involvement and smaller academies
The district weighs bond issues for a new high school or a second campus as options to boost staff student engagement. A patron survey shows 43 percent favor replacing GCHS and 37 percent favor a second high school, with leaning toward a single high school. Atha plans a year long study using nearby elementary models and a bond decision is expected after Saturday’s facility discussion.
