Though Lehi, Lindon and Windsor elementary schools have escaped closure — for now — the decision came with a warning from some Alpine school board members: Closures are inevitable.
The lawsuit, which has since been withdrawn, was filed by a group of 33 parents contending the district did not comply with the then-120 day requirement for getting public input on closure decisions. SB143, passed in the 2023 legislative session, changed that requirement to 90 days.
“We trust that if the Alpine School District decides to pursue closures for any schools in the future, they will follow proper processes, involve stakeholders from the start, consider each school’s unique needs individually and provide adequate time and opportunity for public input before any decisions are made,” the parents said in a joint statement.
But board members Julie King, Joylin Lincoln and Bateman all said the safety needs of the general student population should take precedence, and ultimately voted against discontinuing the closure process for Lindon and Windsor.
