In the Fall of 2018, the Wilson School District engaged in a district-wide feasibility study to develop a comprehensive report to use as a resource for long-term decision-making about the District’s educational facilities. The study provided enrollment projections and important information related to the current condition of all facilities. As enrollment continues to increase in our district, it has become necessary to consider the future of our facilities and their ability to meet the educational needs of our students. Phase 2 addresses the increase in enrollment in our District and the overcrowding in our elementary schools. It also addresses the need to renovate the Southern Middle School campus to provide an equitable educational experience for all our students.
