Washoe County School District is considering zoning changes that could affect seven schools in north Reno, Panther Valley, Sun Valley and North Valleys for the 2022-2023 school year. It’ll host a virtual Zoning Advisory Committee meeting Thursday, March 11 at 5:30 p.m. to consider public input on the changes.
The zoning changes are the result of new school construction and the opening of those schools, said the district in a statement. The changes will affect elementary, middle and high schools and are intended to eliminate overcrowding and accommodate a growing number of students in those areas.
Schools that could be impacted by the proposed zoning changes are:
- Alice Smith Elementary School
- William O’Brien Middle School
- North Valleys High School
- Esther Bennett Elementary School
- Lois Allen Elementary School
- Desert Skies Middle School
- The new Proctor R. Hug High School at Wildcreek
District officials said that families whose children may be affected by possible zoning changes should attend the meeting to learn about the possible zoning changes and provide input to the committee. Questions or comments may be submitted online to [email protected].
The meeting will be available to watch online at https://youtu.be/DZrYWWQ6lk0
