Materials and Feedback from April 7, 2022 Open House at Wasatch High School

Presentation Boards

Grade reconfiguration sounds great. Especially for 9^th grade mental health
Grade reconfiguration sounds terrible. No way 5^th and 9^th graders together
Ditto (as response to Grade reconfiguration sounds terrible. No way 5^th and 9^th graders together)
I’m for new facilities
Year-round was considered for elementary, but what about a tri-mester for the high school?
Current 9-12 configuration is superior for student choice of electives
Why doesn’t year-round school work for high school?
Love the 9^th grade in the high school. Keep it!

Midway-
- Renovate existing elementary school
- Build 2^nd elem. School (2 schools)
Building new elementary school in Midway sooner
New school sooner than 2025? Is there budget for remodeling Midway and new high school?
6^th grade belongs in elementary school. 7,8,9 in Jr high
No boundary adjustments until new school. Just portables.
School near Hideout?
K-5 elem, 6-8 middle, 9-12 HS is the best school layout
Build new elementary school
- Move 6^th to elementary
- Move 9^th to junior high

Please build new building and keep 9-12 configuration
The population will double in 10-15 years to 80K. A single HS cannot support 100% more students. The longer we wait the higher the cost will be. Time to start now.
A new high school is long overdue
Make a boys high school and a girls high school
If/when building a new high school, at least make it a similar size as the current high school, not smaller
Is there a more efficient layout/design that would be less expensive but have ~2K enrollment?
Schools that meet the needs of the kids
Kids learn better in person (usually) rather than online.
Build new HS 10 years ago!
Build 2 new high schools 800-1200 each cap
It is time to put the children first. Build the new schools!
Way overdue… build another school now!
I agree that a new high school is needed, but how do you create tradition at a new school when Wasatch High has 100+ years of tradition?
Build 2^nd high school as soon as possible, Thanks!
Please!! Build a second high school
Build a new high school on top of the current high school
Build 2^nd high school near college on free land to serve greatest growth area. 2^nd HS could be art-centered. Let parents decide where to send kids.
Return 9^th grade to middle school
Current HS is at/over capacity. Every day we wait for the obvious solution. Price goes up.
A new high school at least as big
Split session: 7:00-12:00, 12:30- 5:30

What is the cost to design a new high school vs keeping the existing architecture/design? Can you show multiple designs and the potential cost of construction?
You show rankings vis a vis state of Utah. How do we compare nationally? How do we compare $$/student?
Thank you for this open house! So helpful!
This H.S. should be expanded right now and get it done asap. It will most likely pass.
Change impact fees
Same! (as response to Change impact fees)
No kids in portable classrooms
Attract more seniors to Wasatch County. More taxes paid and no new students
73% of our property tax goes to our schools. Jordan District and Murray District are 55% or less. Why is our District paying more in property tax for WCSD, compared to the rest of Utah School District?
