Grand Forks School Board members during a special meeting Thursday heard the rationale behind an array of recommendations by its Facilities Task Force, charting the district’s future.
The task force’s recommendations include consolidating Valley Middle School and West, Wilder and Winship elementary schools and replacing them with a K-8 school on the city’s north side.
The task force recommended that Valley and West schools should close because renovation is no longer considered to be a viable option.
