Building Utilization Study
 
The Avondale School District is conducting a Building Utilization Study. This study will entail the analysis of current and projected student enrollment, anticipated per pupil funding, residence trends, demographics, school building utilization, and school configurations. Results of this study may include the recommendation to adjust school attendance boundaries, reconfigure grade level assignments to schools, and/or repurpose District facilities. The result will maximize opportunities for student achievement to deliver the best instructional program possible within the District.
