Earlier this week, the Alpine School District Board of Education received the first presentation on a new in-the-works feasibility study to explore reconfiguring the district.

That presentation provided six draft options for district reconfiguration, five of which involved splitting the district in two or three parts.

Up next will be a series of feedback sessions where members of the community can come and provide insight on district reconfiguration.

Three meetings will be held on March 12, 13 and 14. All three will be scheduled for 7 p.m., with the March 12 meeting being at Timpanogos High School, the March 13 meeting at Vista Heights Middle School and the March 14 meeting at American Fork Junior High School.

The meetings are in coordination with Alpine School District and MGT Education, a Florida company contracted to facilitate the study.

At the community meetings, attendees will have the opportunity to fill out a survey to give feedback and insight on reconfiguration.

During the board meeting on Tuesday, a representative from MGT showed a draft of the survey, which will include demographic questions, asking people to rate their preferred options of the six scenarios presented and give opinions on the potential outcomes of a district split.

Of the six options that MGT presented, one would keep Alpine School District together as it is, two would split the district in two with the options differing on where Lehi lands, and the final scenarios would split the district three ways.

Once more community feedback is gathered, a recommendation may be made to the school board at the beginning of April.
