Feb. 13, 2024 – The Master Facility Plan is well underway, with construction gearing up on the new Englewood and Spring Park elementary schools, two of five schools anticipated to open August 2025.
The rebuild will result in the consolidation and rearrangement of boundaries among three schools: Englewood Elementary, Love Grove Elementary, and Spring Park Elementary.
The transition to the two new school campuses began in the fall of 2023 through a series of meetings with stakeholders representing Englewood, Spring Park, and Love Grove elementary schools. These meetings, which under board policy are called the Academic and Community Excellence (ACE) Planning Process, enable stakeholders who live, work, and have children in the respective communities to discuss boundary changes and other issues that would impact the three schools.
The ACE process concluded after three meetings on Jan. 16, and the recommendations from the working group were sent to the superintendent for review. The process will conclude with a community meeting, where the working group’s recommendations will be presented. It is scheduled to take place at Love Grove Elementary on Monday, Feb. 26 at 5:30 p.m.
