The Marysville School District is announcing plans to hold a series of community meetings to discuss potential school closures due to declining enrollment and budget constraints.
Msvl. WA - The Marysville School District recognizes the importance of community input and engagement in this critical decision-making process. The meetings will provide an opportunity for parents, students, teachers, staff, and community members to learn more about the factors influencing the school closures, ask questions, and share their concerns.
The meetings will take place on the following dates:
Meeting 1: October 22, 6:00 - 7:00 pm, Marysville Tulalip Campus Gym
Meeting 2: October 23, 6:00 - 7:00 pm, Marysville Pilchuck High School Commons
Meeting 3: October 28, 6:00 - 7:00 pm, Marysville Middle School Gym
The same information will be shared at each meeting. Interested parties can choose the date that best works for their schedule. Additional meetings may be added as needed.
The district has been closely monitoring enrollment and studying school capacity, condition, size and location and is now prepared to hold broader conversations with our school district community. It is important to know that although some schools were discussed for potential closure, no decisions have been made.
“We understand that the potential closure of a school can significantly impact our community,” said Dr. Dave Burgess, Interim Superintendent. “We are committed to a transparent and open process that allows everyone to participate and provide input.”
The district encourages all community members to attend one or more of the meetings and share their thoughts on this important issue.
