Millcreek-area families will get their first chance to weigh in on potential school closures and boundary changes at a Granite School District community meeting on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6 p.m. in the Taylorsville High School auditorium.

The meeting comes after the district's board received an update on the study driving that process at its Tuesday, Nov. 10, session. The meeting agenda listed a "School Consolidation/Closure and Boundary Adjustment Update" from an MGT representative. The district's post-meeting recap noted the MGT update was delivered but no presentation file was posted. The district directed viewers to watch the meeting recording.

The district, which serves Millcreek-area schools including Skyline High School, hired MGT, an independent K-12 demographic consulting firm, to study potential programming changes, boundary adjustments and school closures tied to declining student enrollment. The district opened a community input survey in October as part of the study.

The district said survey results and other early feedback will be discussed at the Nov. 19 meeting. However, the district emphasized that no scenarios or recommendations had been developed at that stage.

Steve Hogan, the district's planning and boundaries director, also presented a student enrollment report at the Nov. 10 meeting, according to the agenda. Hogan told the board at its Aug. 4 meeting that the district had selected MGT to conduct population analysis and provide recommendations, according to meeting minutes. MGT representatives Chris Grigo, Dr. Lance Richards and Christine Steenport presented an overview of their planned services at that meeting.

Board President Nicole McDermott outlined the broader timeline at the Aug. 4 meeting. McDermott said MGT would deliver recommendations based on data and community engagement by September 2027. Any school closures would not take effect until August 2028.

At an Aug. 7 board retreat, members discussed wanting a systematic process for school closures, consolidations and rebuilds that would include engaging teachers, school community councils and students.
