Boundary panel to hold public meetings on school changes
A larger Broken Arrow school boundary committee will meet in public after expanding to include seven community members. The panel plans public sessions as it shifts focus from potential elementary closures to boundary revisions while considering Quail Run Sunflower and Prairie Park crowding. The board schedules a 5:30 p.m. study session on November 24 to guide the process and the committee seeks two at large members through letters to Craig Fiegel.
