The Boundary Advisory Committee invites students, staff, families, and community members to learn more about its work and provide feedback. Public input sessions will be held from 6:00-7:30 p.m. January 31 at Lawrence High and February 1 at Free State High. Members of the committee will share boundary concepts intended to better balance middle school enrollments. One concept would move some of the West MS attendance area into Southwest MS, affecting approx. 5% of current West students. A second concept would shift the boundaries of all four middle schools, targeting 70-75% capacity use. It would affect about 7% of current MS students. The BAC also requests feedback on a concept to create “secondary boundary assignments” for Liberty Memorial Central MS.

 

While you are there, both sessions are opportunities to hear more about plans for launching a STEAM focus at LMCMS in the fall. Staff will share how STEAM learning projects will connect English, math, science, and social studies concepts. Collaborative, hands-on experimentation will empower LMCMS students to ask questions, learn by doing, and solve practical challenges that combine their educational goals with the resources and needs of the community. Bring your questions about the specialized STEAM program available to all LMCMS students and open to transfer requests.
