In May, the Lake Oswego School Board received recommendations from the Long Range Facilities Planning Committee that will impact the school district’s future. Appointed last November, the committee recommended a feasibility study on the district’s options regarding the future of Lake Grove Elementary, Uplands Elementary and Palisades World Language School.
On Saturday, June 8, the school board held a town hall for all community members to answer questions about the proposed feasibility study and the district’s next steps regarding the long range facilities plan and phase three of the capital construction bond.
Questions were submitted in advance by community members. Lake Oswego Review editor and town hall moderator Patrick Malee selected the questions and grouped them by topic beforehand.
“This is a long-term plan; we need to create an opportunity to understand, accommodate and facilitate the continued educational excellence of our community 20 years, 30 years out,” said School Board Chair Brian Bills.
