Community Information Session
You're Invited: Learn About the Proposed Ashley–Swift School Building Project
Join us to learn about the proposed school building project that would combine the Charles S. Ashley Elementary School and Jireh Swift Elementary School into a single, modern facility.
During these informational sessions, you'll have the opportunity to review the two proposed options for the project:
1. Addition/Renovation: Expand and renovate the existing Ashley School building;
2. New Construction: Build a brand-new school on the current Ashley School site.
Community members are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and learn more about the proposal before future decisions are made.
Meeting Options (see Session Details below):
In Person: Saturday, July 25, at 10:00 AM
Virtual: Wednesday, July 29, at 7:00 PM
We encourage all families, staff, and community members to participate and share in this important conversation about the future of our schools.
