Forks School Community Survey

The Forks of Salmon Elementary School Board is soliciting input for possible uses of the Forks School facilities that can provide ongoing benefit to the community while the school is closed.  Until such potential future time when Forks School can maintain a full and active campus with consistent enrollment and attendance, it seems beneficial for an active group(s)  to inhabit it for purposes of system and facility upkeep as well as to foster community engagement with the space. Our intent is to have any non-school activities occur in a manner compatible with schooling if/when that becomes possible again. Priority would be given to school growth as it exceeds space allotted. Towards this end, at least one of the buildings could be reserved for educational activities only.


This survey is for information purposes only.


The  deadline for submission of responses to this survey is April 4th.  If you are completing a paper copy, please mail it to Forks of Salmon Elementary School, 15616 Salmon River Rd, Forks of Salmon, CA 96031 or turn it in to one of your school board members in person before that date.
