List of Initial Recommendations

Scenario 1A - Eventually Close: Buckeye Middle School, Fairwood K-6, Siebert K-6, and Moler K-6

These reflect two different ideas for middle school in the South and Marion-Franklin communities.

In the first version, South High School becomes the regional high school receiving the high school students from Marion-Franklin.

Marion-Franklin then becomes the regional middle school receiving the grade 7 and 8 students from South, the 6-8 students from Buckeye, and the grade 6 students from all the area elementary schools.

Fairwood, Siebert, and Moler are expected to be consolidated with other area elementary schools.

In this scenario, Buckeye Middle School, Fairwood K-6, Siebert K-6, and Moler K-6 would eventually be closed.
