Focus Group

In October of 2023 parents of students in the Tooele and Stansbury areas were invited to participate in a focus group to discuss boundary change options for elementary and secondary schools.

Focus group participants played an important role in determining the future boundaries by providing valuable input, insightful questions, and a comprehensive list of both pros and cons to the committee studying boundary options for the Tooele and Stansbury area schools.

We greatly appreciate all members of our community who were willing to serve on the focus group, and especially those who participated in the focus group. Your feedback helped to refine the boundary realignment options.

Data collected through the focus groups was presented at the January 30, 2424 Board of Education Meeting and Public Hearon on Boundary Realignment.

Boundary Change Survey

In December 2023 the public was presented with three high school/ junior high school boundary options along with possible elementary variations. A survey was made public from December 14, 2023 to January 14, 2024. Parents, employees, students, and community members were provided with an opportunity to indicate their preference.

Survey respondents were asked to express their preferred high school/junior high school boundary option. Respondents were then asked to select their preference for the corresponding elementary variation.

Data collected through the survey was presented at the January 30, 2424 Board of Education Meeting and Public Hearing on Boundary Realignment.
