DRAPER, Utah — Tuesday night, the community gathered in Draper to discuss forming a new school district, splitting away from the Alpine School District.
The cities have already conducted a feasibility study, which concluded that the"creation of a Central School District is a viable opportunity that could provide less of a future property tax burden in these communities if they separated from the Alpine School District," Draper City wrote in a statement.
FOX 13's content sharing partners at The Salt Lake Tribune reported in May that the overwhelming response wanted to keep the district as one. "The other thing that makes me want to split, besides more local control is that right now our school board is not working very well together," another resident remarked.
