Potential Timeline

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The Task Force is a group of community members, staff, parents, and district stakeholders who come together to learn about and discuss the future facility needs of the Loyal and Greenwood School Districts. The group will look at buildings, enrollment, finances, educational programming, and community feedback to help the districts understand options that align best for the current and future students of each community. The group will provide a recommendation to the joint school boards in Spring 2026 - May 13, 2026.

Learn about building conditions and long-term facility needs in each district
Review enrollment trends, financial information, and educational program requirements
Consider feedback from staff surveys and community listening sessions

Develop a recommendation for the Board of Education

At the end of the process, the Task Force will present a clear recommendation that reflects what is best for students, taxpayers, and both communities.
