Grass Valley School District Superintendent Eric Fredrickson announced a trio of proposals on facility and district reconfiguration today on the district's website.
Fredrickson stated in an open letter a special board meeting to held in the Lyman Gilmore multi-purpose room at 7 p.m. Wednesday will include the review of three proposals generated by the district's leadership. On Jan. 31, the district is slated to take action on the proposals.
Reconfiguration proposal No. 1 — which the district claims would save $68,000 in utility costs alone— calls for grades 5-8, an estimated number of 540 students, attend Lyman Gilmore School. Grades K-4 (702 students) would attend school at the Hennessy campus. Scotten School would house the 402 Grass Valley Charter School students (grades K-8).
The Bell Hill campus would be unoccupied and available for rent, although the proposal states the renter would "unlikely" be the newly created Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning.
Proposal No. 2 -- estimated at a $64,000 utility savings -- again calls for grades 5-8 to attend Lyman Gilmore. Grass Valley Charter would operate at the Hennessy campus, while Scotten would be the home of the 489 of the district's K-4 students. Bell Hill would be the site of Discovery Studies Charter Preschool, with also space to rent.
The third, and final, proposal has grades 5-8 at Lyman Gilmore. Grass Valley Charter K-8 and Discovery Studies Charter Preschool would be located at Hennessy. Scotten would be the site for 489 K-4 students, while Bell Hill would house a Small Innovate K-4 Dual Immersion Program, enrolling about 200 students. The district estimates a $49,000 utility savings.
