Alpine School District's board of education has voted unanimously to begin a study into reconfiguring the biggest district in the Beehive State.
AMERICAN FORK — Even after Orem Proposition 2 — a measure that would have split Orem from the Alpine School District —it could still be in the cards for the district to divide in the future.
Basically, the process of reconfiguring hasn't begun, but the vote was to have district staff review things such as whatStephenson said the hope is for the information gathered from the review and a timeline for reconfiguration — deemed by a third party — to be presented to the board in September. "More recently, it is becoming increasingly apparent that there are different needs in different parts of the district," Clement said.
"Last fall ... Orem wanted to create their own district. One of their arguments was they didn't want their property taxes going to build schools in the west, right? And I think residents in the west kind of feel like, 'We don't want our weighted-pupil-unit funding to go to supplement schools in the east that are small,'" Clement said. "There's this kind of a tension that we felt it's time to give the residents a chance to make a choice.
"Our public would like to trust that what our recommendations, and what we put forward, is reliable, and I think that that will only happen when it's done by a third party," board member Ada Wilson said duringAs far as the magnitude of a reconfiguration, Clement said he doesn't believe anyone is considering a four-way split, but that a two- or three-way split could be feasible.
From there, the district would pass the final recommendation to Utah County officials, who would then decide whether to put it on the ballot for voters in the district to decide.
