Goshen Community Schools board considering options to deal with overcrowding

The Goshen Community Schools Board is looking at a number of plans to deal with school overcrowding… and they’re not cheap.

Goshen Superintendent Diane Woodworth tells the Elkhart Truth a plan that includes creating an intermediate school and making other adjustments to each district building would cost about $64-million. The plan was pitched by the district’s Strategic Planning Steering Team earlier this week, after a two-year study aiming to meet an expected rise in attendance head-on.

There’s no question something needs to be done: Goshen Middle School has the fourth-largest middle school student population in the state at 1,500, making it bigger than some entire school districts.

No official decision has been made yet.

Obvious differences! May 25, 2017 at 3:36 pm

What a great problem to have. In South Bend schools will be closed, combined…I wonder what the difference between Goshen and South Bend is?

Way to go Goshen!
