Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback to the Board of Education. Whether it was during the public hearing, one of the two public comment periods, at the information meetings held at each school, or in our online survey, your questions, comments, and insights are greatly appreciated.

The Board of Education may vote on these issues (see below) during its meeting on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. That meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be held in the Board Room at the District Administration Building, located at 406 E. 100 S., Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. 

What’s Being Reviewed:

1. Innovations Early College High School (Innovations): Potential Long-term Closure

Innovations was designed to offer students the option to earn both a high school diploma and college credits—often up to an associate degree—while still in high school. It is situated on the Salt Lake Community College South Campus to allow students easy access to college courses. Recently, enrollment has dropped significantly, and fewer students are taking advantage of college course opportunities at the SLCC South Campus. The district is evaluating whether the school is still fulfilling its original purpose and whether it should be closed permanently.

2. Washington Elementary (Washington) Magnet Program: Program Closure

Washington’s 4-6 Magnet Gifted and Talented program was a three-year pilot and is currently in its final year. The district is reviewing the program for permanent closure.

3. Nibley Park School (Nibley Park): Possible Grade Reconfiguration

Nibley Park currently serves students in kindergarten through 8^th grade. The district is considering reconfiguring the school as an elementary school that would serve students in kindergarten through 6th grade, beginning in the 2026–27 school year. This is due to low enrollment in the middle grades, which makes it difficult to offer a full range of middle school courses and limits the academic and extracurricular opportunities available to 7th and 8^th grade students.

If the board approves any of these proposals, the earliest the changes would take effect is the 2026-27 school year (following the current year).
