Middle school pilot plan eyed by Scottsdale School Board
The Elementary School Reorganization Committee recommends a pilot middle school next fall at Kachina Ingleside Tavan or Kaibab in the Arcadia High area. The selection will be made after parent committee input from the four involved elementary zones. The plan would group seventh and eighth graders at one school while K-6 students stay at neighboring schools. If Arcadia is chosen Hopi would remain K4 for some, others could attend middle school. About 3,000 surveys were returned with 16 schools favoring and four opposing the proposal including Hopi Navajo Tavan Tonalea.
