Timeline for Decisions
• Propose using early out days to address time for building committees to meet

![Page 12: Proposed Restructuring At Alhs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082810/55841de7d8b42ae12e8b4598/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How do You Address the Public?
• If you are out in the community and asked about this proposal what can you say?– The elementary building are at capacity– Economic situation makes it difficult to add on additional
classroom space to our current elementary buildings– ALHS opened in May of 2000 with an enrollment exceeding
1,200 students– The School Board has asked the administration and staff to
look at restructuring our buildings to address these issues
