        Background Information:

        After careful consideration, the administration recommends that Soldotna High School and Soldotna Prep School be consolidated into a comprehensive grades 9 – 12 high school located at the current Soldotna High School campus.  This change is to be effective fall 2019.

        Much work is going to be required through this transition process. Once final board action is taken, a work group will need to begin moving forward with logistics and planning.  Mr. Tony Graham will continue to be principal of the consolidated Soldotna High School.  The District Office will work with Mr. Graham on determining other site administration duties and other staff allocations and duties. A plan will be developed to address equipment and supplies from both buildings, and with communicating with parents and the community.

        In addition, this recommended consolidation would require River City Academy to be re-located to Skyview Middle School.  District administration would work with both schools in a similar manner to Soldotna High School and Soldotna Prep to facilitate River City Academy’s move to Skyview.

        Should this recommendation be approved, the Board of Education will receive regular updates throughout the transition process.
