At
the April 10 Board of Education meeting, the Board reconsidered the topic of
closing Kennedy High School and combining into Truman High School. The vote to
approve the high school merger passed 4-3.
The
vote puts into action a two-year closure/combination process.
Specific
information will be published soon to help inform parents and students about
the process for our current eighth-grade students (next year's ninth graders)
and much more.
The
district leadership teams are meeting to finalize the plans for the first year
of the high school combine process (the 2017-2018 school year when all ninth
graders are housed at Truman High School).
In
the near future, opportunities will exist for students, parents, sports
boosters, band boosters, PTO/PTA groups, alumni association, and members of the
community to work with administration on the important tasks of renaming and
rebranding what the unified high school will be called when the merger is fully
complete in the 2018-2019 school year. At that time, all high school students
will be on what is now the Truman High School Campus.
The
district administration will make sure to publicize opportunities for parent
and community input as soon as these meetings are scheduled.
